Working on that one myself now... ugh. Can't remember what floor the damn poison butterflies were either.
Floor 7, A4 (2,3)
Presumably for the Insect Eyes? There's a fairly common encounter
behind the White Crystal doors, it's a large area so you'll probably fight a few while mapping it
I was driving myself crazy try to figure out this healing thing and I finally stumbled upon a reliable method. You need the final elderevenge buff from Rosa. Then, cast echoing rondo followed by peace ballad. This breaks echoing's one turn limit so that it can proc infinity times and you can enjoy a billion healing per round. And yes, you must cast the songs in that order. If you cast peaceful first it will not work.
Now I can of finally go to bed.

After seeing that quest in the first game and trying too hard to get the quest on 22F in EO2 that unlocks something important to no avail, I just have to skip all quests like this. Thanks for pointing this out! I have grown, over the last two years, to have absolutely no desire to finish lots of quests in a game, and while EO3's dungeon quests were almost all fun, I can't do the Xenoblade / Skyrim filler anymore.
Once I start CoH2, it'll be the same for that game too. I just have to remember if there was a "auto-defeat" setting in that game or if it was an item that allowed you to skip encounters or both...but anyway, that's off-topic.
It looks like my Untold adventure will start in late 2014 my this rate - still glad I bought it day one.
This one is easy. There's a room with no monsters on this floor, set it to autopath. Just stupid as hell though.
Thanks so much.
The ending of that quest makes me feel all tingly. But the wind up was definite bs. If encounters were possible in the no-monster room, I wouldn't have bothered.

Yeah...I totally forgot about autopathing because I've never used it - my bad. That automates the process so I'll probably do it when I get there. Thanks!

I'm not sure I'm feeling Story Mode. One of the great things about the original was the mystery and the sense of discovery in the labyrinth. These anime tropes quacking incessantly pretty much removes that feeling. I am going to continue though, since I have already played and finished the original, restarting on Classic Mode would seem a bit wasteful. I can guarantee that a replay on Classic Mode with FM Synth will happen at some point, because the original is still one of my favorite games ever.
My current build is 10 volt, 5 ice, 1 fire, and 1 point in flame/freeze/spark/cocytus/thor. I also have scavenge at 10. Not terribly exciting but effective.
I also have analysis at 5 but never use it anymore because I don't have the buff slots.
It's rather weak now (85% Rank 1, 75% Rank 10, 70% Rank 15) and "Elements" here actually refers to just Fire, Ice, and Volt and not actually all Elements. Likewise, Defender is the same with Physical but not Elemental.
Troubadour and Hexer buff/debuff reach the 80% mark (70% at 15) and work on all damage, for the curious.
Wishing that Alchemists weren't again the most boring of classes ;__; I went Focus to 5 and Fire > Volt > Ice priority due to weakness relevance on bosses. Analysis is nice but it's awkwardly situated as an Active.
Pain / Light stuff seems like it could be really damn useful with some other stuff. Say, with some Grimoire use. Something I'm looking to try when I go into Grimoire farming later.

I have multiple save files, right? I can have a Classic and Story mode going at the same time?

Hey guys,
I played the demo and didn't like the idea of story mode at all, but EO4 is probably my GOTY. Is Untold's classic mode worth it if you're coming at it from the idea of it being more EO4? I thought EO4 blended its classes and its balance really well to make a great experience. Is that true in Untold as well? Are the new skill trees a good time?
Thanks!

Personally I dont like the skilltrees in this one, I felt 4 was better balanced (the highlander looks cool but you need to play story to import him to clasic). Still, I'm having lots of fun runing on expert with no medic nor tank, quite fun trying to survive with the other chars heals.
Agreed. Most of the skills are pretty meh, and I can't for the life of me figure why I want to keep the hexer in my party. Her only damage comes from a really stupid fear mechanic.

This sounds like a game I should check out for $20 in a year or something, when more time has passed since EO4.
Thanks for the input!

Yeah, hexer looks like a late game monster like I said, early is pretty useless. I had one when I restarted but I dropped it. You really need a high damage party to make the most of it so enemies can die while disabled, which is kind of hard early in the game.
Well Atlus games become pretty rare. And not many people go for the digital version so I dont see the game droping in price because of it. This game is good, and has some things over EO4: I like the floor maps more than eo4, and the lack of overworld means more big floors to explore from the beginign of the game, the second floor is bigger than most of the maps of the second dugeon on EO4.
Why do they need to die while disabled?
I think I might eventually retire her for a land. Or if I keep her my alchemist is going to become a frontline fighter.
My party was Land/Ronin/Trou + Surv/Hexer, meaning that while the enemy are blind/panic state they were not a big threat, but as soon as they break from that they could destroy the party. Better to kill them while they cant fight you as effective otherwise the hexer is just making the battles longer, not easier.
The other problem was when the status failed to land. Hexer was a dead weight. I guess later they would be more reliable.
Edit: Also, panic is not as usefull as it sounds early.
I actually dropped the hexer for a frontline hunter and moved the troubador to the backline, the party now deals damage really fast and can deal with some enemies better.
We need scy to confirm who is better at landing status/blinds. I guess the hexer due to his mastery skill but the dh has great damage so I would not drop her really.
Edit: Freaking one armed bug killed everyone but the Survivalist. And then misses the killing turn on her. I basically won because of the RNG

And no thread, time to walk back.
If that will freeze time, I will sacrifice everything to the Canadian Goddess.
I want to go with no. I haven't looked into it yet.
On one hand, I'd agree with that but I never trust logic :x On the other hand, it's still worth testing at some point.
Most classes seem to have a skill that seems ideal for Support / Grimoire use.
Just the Weapon Requirement, I believe. I haven't toyed with it much.
It adds 5 levels to the skill.

It finally arrived today, let's do this.
If I understood correctly, boost adds +5 to the level of the next skill and can go up to level 15 (even if the character can only learn it up to level 10)
Didnt scy post a way to not spend one stone while fusing? get one and just abuse the thing!
But really that sounds hard to even get

My gut wants to say Swallow Strike but I haven't used a Ronin. If it's the Midareba equivalent (which it sounds like based off the name~), it'll probably be the one.
That's unfortunately not how it works. Doing that won't use that Grimoire Stone at all, you merely get to use that many slots. So if you have a 4-slot Grimoire Stone you do this with, the resulting Grimoire Stone will have 4-slots still ... but it won't have any of the skills of that original one.
It's really best to just try it and see what I mean it does :x I'm not very good with words lol
I just hit the second stratum myself, and so far it's still going pretty smoothly. I've been throwing all my Dark Hunter's points into binds and they've been consistently saving my backside; it makes a big difference when the stratum boss can't use his head for three straight turns, for instance.
The funniest thing was hitting level 15 while on floor 5 and all the FOE auras immediately turned blue. Like the game giving me the OK to clear them all out.

Hit 4th Stratum about an hour and a half ago. Gah none of these new pub quests are straightforward but fishing contest was fun. Nailed second place with seven fish. I wonder how many I needed for first.
Raquna's getting her glorious butt handed by mobs with their multi attacks. What moves should I be using after a Provoke? Defend doesn't really help. Her equips are usually up-to-date.

Defend as in the command Defend? Or Defender?
Anyway, Provoke -> Fortify -> Parry (if you're expecting one/two/three hits, depending on Parry rank) or Front Guard (if you're expecting Line damage and want to protect others).

I was playing Classic and I just erased my save file to play Story first. You guys are pretty fast, I'm in mid terms and I haven't been able to fully dive into this game.
