When you say manually aim at the barrels, does that mean point the camera in their vague direction and hope for best?

You can aim the spells with RS. You can't select those barrels (It took me a very long time to realise this).
I think I defeated him with only setting off one barrel though, just keep using techniques (I used Prompto's Piercer and Gladio's Dawnhammer for the entire game) and Armiger always comes in handy.
Yes, but you should go there at some point. There is some cool content there to be discovered!

No, when you hold the button a big ball appears that tells you exactly where you're aiming.

No need to hope for the best, when fire is near those barrels they always explode and do heavy damage.

Kinda reminded me of Resident Evil for that part lol.

Sharp bones yield tricast/quadcast (can't remember which at the moment) and voreteeth also yield multicast I believe, plus they're pretty common once you get to Duscae. I've been pretty hesitant to play with some item combinations because I don't know how rare they are. I'd hate to find out I wasted a quest item to have a healcast or something.

Holy shit... I must have missed the memo that Square Enix released an FFXV trailer set to Fast Lane, a rap track from Bad Meets Evil ft. Eminem and Royce Da 5'9.

I appreciate it lol. Kind of off-brand for the game TBH but part of me is greatly amused that they're marketing to this crowd. And as an old school fan of FF and hip-hop I don't mind a bit. Ymmv of course lol.

Really? I never knew that...... oh my god this is embarrassing now lol.
So if the barrel is in the radius it should explode?
Seriously playing this game is making me feel so stupid. I've never struggled with a FF like this.

Is Daemon the FFXV word for any enemy or does it refer to only specific enemies?

Two quick thoughts: 1) The dungeons in this game are awesome, so well designed. 2) I love the music that plays when you go on a tour with someone.
Specific enemies that come out at night, or are found in dungeons. They have a unique mechanic in that they do damage both to your current hit points and your maximum hit points.

Expericast III with 99 potency is ~15k xp per cast if I recall. Its a static amount of xp, independent of target level and instead based on spell strength. i.e you get the same +xp regardless of whether the mob you use it on is lvl 2 or 52.

first, check how many DEBASED COINS you have. you'll need 24.
next, make a spell of 1 fire and 24 debased coins.
eat a meal that increases XP from battle
head to bandersnatch north of hammerhead
use all 9 fires on him.
go to a hotel with x2 xp (guardian quay) or x3 if you're later game.
sleep and reap rewards!!

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Only two tours ever triggered for me. Iris at Lestallum and Gladio forcing Noct to run on the beach in Chapter 1.
It refers to those monsters that tend to appear in dungeons and at night. Examples of daemons are Iron Knights, goblins and Flans. Regular monsters are not seen as daemons, and include the Garulas and the Rhino monsters (can't recall their real name right now). Of course, as you see in the first chapter,
Some monsters seem to have some daemon corruption like that rhino monster boss, but generally they are split quite clearly.
Is there a way to run away from battles? Still only in chapter 1, but I found a dungeon while driving around and ran into a high level enemy. Didn't see any way to leave and had to get myself killed.
It was

in the mines. Some level 50 enemy. I ran into it once, then foolishly continued down the path and went down a long ladder to run into it again.
No, it is decided based on your surroundings, but I couldn't say what the specific conditions are.
It isn't?....lol
Holy shit at this mama mia!!!
I didn't notice did? Are these encounters missable?

Like Zedark said, it's based on your surroundings. Further explanation about the summons and summoning mechanics in the spoilers below.
Titan: Will only assist you in wide, open-air locations. The more of your allies that fall in battle, the higher the chances he will help.
Ramuh: Potentially available in any area. The longer your party is involved in a battle, the higher the chances he will help.
Leviathan: Will assist you in locations that are reasonably close to large bodies of water. Will only show up when Noctis is in a Danger status. The longer he is, the higher the chances she will help.
Shiva: Available in any sizable area like Ramuh. Probability is a combination of the other summoning conditions.

It's more like your status conditions of your party actually with

Enjoying this a lot more than I expected, my pessimism was getting the better of me by the end.
Hope it keeps up. It would be nice to have Final Fantasy be a reliable event again, XIV and XV would make a nice, varried start to a clean slate.
Just wish I had more time to play, either way.

Yeh, this is strange for me too. From what I remember, they worked great in Episode Duscae when it comes to revival but not so much in the final game.
ALWAYS stock up on potions. They're only 50 gill a pop and you can always revive anyone who's down ASAP and it also heals a lot more than a normal revive.

Wow so Costlemark Tower huh?.... That's... ummm.... well.... Awful, just awful. I'll come back later I guess. Nothing but heaps of enemies in tiny spaces. I guess they didn't have time to adjust the AI to the encounters they made. So many times the AI just makes no attempt at all to try and defend itself. Pretty frustrating
Time to bank my exp and finally end chapter 3 I guess

What are you even doing in a level 50+ dungeon that early?
Sadly it seems a lot of them have pretty important uses... like coins. D:

By far the least fun I had with the game was that dungeon, even moreso than the infamous Chapter 13. The further you go into CT the worse it gets as well.
But what are you doing there before you even finish Chapter 3? I went there as a level 65 after I had finished the game and even then it was hard as hell.

Tried searching, but hard to find what I'm looking for.
So that purple light and the dramatic music that happens in combat sometimes, is that related to summons?
And how do I even summon? Managed to do it once, when the L2 indicator showed up, but other times when it did, nothing happened.
Game is awesome, but could have used a database with all gameplay elements.

Now that I think about it,
I have only seen that rhino boss (the one Dave sends you to kill) which has that purple mist surrounding his horns, which I believe hints at such corruption. Could explain why it is so vicious. I don't think we really see any other regular non-daemon monsters with this corruption.
I believe you have to simply have to hold it down. Be sure to stay away from enemies as I think getting hit resets the timer.
Keep staying on Defence mode and counter attack. Also, just don't get near him when his sword is becoming purple.
Oh gosh I was stuck on a strange loop until I understood what I should do : keep going forward and don't go on your right or you'll go to a room full of Daemons (3 Fire Iron Giant and a snake/medusa, oh gosh that was hard)

I was fighting a giant monster in a swamp yesterday when I stupidly used Blizzaga. I froze the blooming swamp and my characters stood there like idiots with their feet frozen in place. Luckily the monster was also stuck, but I felt like a right buffoon.
As with the elemental magic nods, any button prompt with a downwards triangle means hold until complete/something happens.
Warp out of harms way, hold down L2, decimate everything

Ignore that feature imo (unless you're stuck grinding without potions). It's a bit superfluous.
Just pop potions. They're cheap, reliable, and restore more health.
