Late Chapter 7 spoilers

holy fuck Aranea is OP. Her Dragoon jump does moredamage than magic.
I don't want her to leave me :(

Also lol at Prompto doing a selfie with her. Dude's playing the game.

I did not pick up on this at all.

Might be because the music deafened Arden talking in one scene, really bad sound mix.
The Izunia stuff is hinted at in that cutscenes but it isn't really outright explicit in the game. The rest should be pretty clear though. It's a good cutscene, ugh, had so many questions.

anyone got any tips to fight this boss? I decided to reload my game from an earlier save after encountering this as I wasn't in the mood to waste precious elixirs and pots.

No food buff going into that fight is going to be rough.

So i noticed on this mob type, when she rears her head back to do the frog fog attack, warpstrike her face and it should interrupt it. This also may be reliant on you having the AP trait that lets you break daemon parts with warpstrike.

If you have Bow of the Clever, try equipping it and using Ignis's Overwhelm. Just stay alive as you work up the 2 bars between each try.

It's a seriously broken skill with that weapon. I'm not even all that good at the game and this combo is carrying me through every dungeon. You do pretty much 50k a tech with while invincible/=.

Did they give any indication as to when the Chapter 13 patch will be coming out? Kinda want to wait until it does to do ch 13 but I'm already at ch 10... I have to work until Monday anyway, so hopefully we get it next week.

They're not gonna patch out the problems people have with it. It's long and boring they can't change that. Just don't bother using stealth and everything will be fine. Well maybe stock on elixirs and stuff before going.

Forget about such patch for a while.

That reminds me. Question about the Naga boss:

She says something about her baby. Is this a quest later in the game? Do I find out what she was talking about? Is this a hint that the empire is stealing daemons to experiment with or something (I just made that up in my head, but now it's mind cannon)

wear or eat something that prevents toad and petrify (toad is generally more annoying though), then the fight becomes much easier.

yep.

Overwhelm is already OP by itself, but with the bow equipped it becomes insane. Noctis basically turns the bow into a machine gun during that time.

That was probably the idea yeah. I don't think we have any info after that point, sadly.

The relationship between
Ardyn and Noctis is already revealed at that part of the game. Noctis' family are not the real Lucis Caelum. They are the Izunia. Ardyn has been alive for hundreds and hundreds of years. He was the original Lucis Caelum that was supposed to ascend to the throne. The Crystal chose the Izunias instead, and they 'took' the Lucis Caelum surname for themselves.

Thanks for the clarification, I didn't pick up that part about Noctis' family being the Izunias. So, correct me if wrong: Ardyn was a healer and the next in line to be king, but trying to save Eos from the Demons' Power, he "absorbed" it and become corrupted and immortal. Due to this, the Crystal denied him Ascension and chose Noctis' family (the Izunias) as new rulers, and that's why Ardyn became mad and seek revenge against Noctis' family and the True King mentioned in the prophecy (Noctis)

This really wont click until way later in the game.

Probably a reference to how (late game spoiler)
Niflhiem is kiddnapping people from small villages and turning them into demons. She was probably a mother at some point :(

During this fight I had the accessory to be immune to toad. Equipped Thunderbolt heavy sword on Noct and Glad, Regroup on Ignis, and Prompto guarding the ground lol (fucking Prompto smh), wrecked her though.

Finished story. Damn, epic boss fight and beautiful ending. Def one of the better finales in the series. Can't argue about that.
 

Finalow

I honestly didn't even care enough to finish the game, but I wanted to do the post-game content so I did finish it and ... the ending was surprisingly great, fights included.

however I was pretty annoyed at how you don't get
any new summons to use whenever you want.
they could have easily added
Bahamut or Ifrit.
Knights of the Round could have been another summon too since they made a reference to it at the very end.

Having to gather up all these random bits of ore to dye the car is really aggravating. I feel like this shouldn't be so difficult, just let me buy the colours!
 
I keep dying in this game.

I'm level 11, I'm doing missions that are recommended for level 6, those airships come in and drop soldiers that are level 16, and I get wrecked.

I'm no stranger to character action games, but for whatever reason I keep getting wiped.

Anyone else finding this game tough as hell?

I think the idea at your level is to run like hell from the drop ships.

Or, you can target the first guy out with a spell and then you can kill them all in one hit.

400k in the bank?! What were you doing all this time? Couldn't have been just side quests and hunts because I did those too and got nowhere near that.

I really like the combat so i rarely shy away from engagements, i tried a few expericasts, which is quite fun when you use it with thundaga on the ambushing imperials. Other than that I have done all the hunts, side quests and a few dungeons I could.

>25 days elapsed

...okay.

Also why's the inn half off? Is there a quest to make it cheaper?

Honestly I am not sure, and I might be wrong here, but I think the rest places have been always half off for me since the beginning of the game.

Apparently it's cause of the traveler pack preorder bonus

Wow, people were not kidding about Costlemark Tower being difficult. Oh, you thought that was a lot of enemies to handle all at once? HERE HAVE A SHIT-TON MORE.

I kinda loved it though, aside from the camera being crappy at times. The dungeons and enemies are so great in this game. Also, I have a new appreciation for all the healing items Gladio keeps picking up.

Is it some kind a joke, a glitch or whatever fuckery? I keep going down and down and never coming to an end. Im on my 4-5 camp site

What is this? Why wont it end? The worst thing is I keep fighting those small green bastards holding the knife. Toughest enemies in the game yet it never ends

Costlemark is what really made me love this game. Such a fun experience.

I never got my traveler pack and I even accidentally ordered two copies from Amazon.
 
Finished the main story last night. Was thinking about it again today and actually got a little choked up thinking about (ending spoilers)
the campfire scene. Yes, the storytelling sucked, but character development between the four bros was actually well handled.

It's great. The camera is a nightmare at times, but setting it to close made it bearable.

Really hoping they fix the camera for enclosed areas, will only make it better.

So where can I see that Prompto scene everyone is talking about?
Should be the Longwythe motel.

The Taelpar motel actually, it's an outpost in the southwest corner of the Duscae region.

Which reminds me, are there any other scenes like that in the game? Not tours, but just scenes where you and your friends talk like that. It would be weird if there was only one

Are we talking about the scene where Prompto comes out and opens up to Noct about his life growing up? I got that at the Longwythe Motel if so. Only triggered after I did his tour at the camp spot east of Hammerhead though.

Are there any tours beyond the first ones? I haven't had one since I left Leide.
