Have you gotten the Little Battler Experience one yet? You should get the Glim Reaper a while after that or so it seems for most people.

Don't write NNK off as being for kids, it's a great game and extremely enjoyable. The artwork and design is just amazing, it's as close to playing a cartoon as I've seen. I really can't commend this game enough and really hope they will bring on a sequel.

Oh there's a merit reward that increases the chances of monsters joining you? Neat will wait to get that first then =)

I don't think it helps much tho :lol.

It increases your chance by 10% of the original value IIRC.
So, if the monster has a 5% chance to join you, it's 5.5% now. I wouldn't wait on it.
25%, but still, that only takes 5% to 6.5%. 1% goes to 1.25%. Etc.
It took me well into the end-game to get this trophy, and I was doing battle after battle to tame the 250.

Put about 20 hours in so far, just got
Very excited to keep going, if not for the fact that I'm so Pokemon obsessed that anything that scratches the itch will keep me interested forever.
I'm rocking that Puss in Boats now, if only because of his eye patch. Just got me a dinoceras or whatever too. Ready to take over the world.

Ok, so some spoilers in here...
So I just beat Shadar. Awesome final boss and great final wrap up. Quite a touching story, with some nice twists and epic moments. For once an RPG ends leaving questions for the next game, but still managing to end on a seriously satisfying conclusion.
My question however, is how long does the post game take? How much is actually left to do? On the errand board I only have one errand left to do, I have no bounties to collect. So what is there to do? I'm at Ding Dong Dell and a party is about to start I think. Directly after defeating Shadar and getting Alicia's locket.
Just curious as to whether it's worth it to carry on playing. No point getting stronger or levelling up more if there's no one else strong left to battle. Pretty sure I could do S rank in the Tourney at the Temple of Trials. My team is pretty solid (all 3rd form, high level).
Any answers would be welcome!

I justPlease help!got my ass kicked by Shadar on my way to Autumnia. Which familiars should I have with me? All my main characters are level 25 and I got completely destroyed
Give it another shot. Here's a hint:
You don't have to get his health bar to zero to win the fight.

There are many more difficult fights ahead of you. The story is not yet over.
I was finally able to afford this up over the weekend. Are the hidden items, secret areas fairly reasonable to find or is the strategy guide almost a must for the game? I dont mind playing the game over a few times, but some rpgs have special items, characters, and areas that are next to impossible to find without spoilers.
Karsticles
Member
Nothing important is missable. I found most of the secret areas by myself. The game does a good job of giving you hints.
Yes!! The game that just keeps on givin!
Thanks, I think if I get stuck at something, I can ask here or look around. I had to ask because some jrpgs have ridiculous hidden secrets that I dont think are possible to find without a spoiler, getting lucky and stumble upon it, or spend 100s of hours looking.

Ni No Kuni avoids all the cardinal sins of RPGs...aside from not letting you control your party members.
Anyone?

There should be one of the shiny walls you can walk through. You can't see it on the minimap tho.
AbandonedTrolley
Member
Yeah as mentioned there are walls you can walk through, they are normally pretty flat and you should be able to just walk straight through.
I've read that but hasn't been true in my case. Yeah I have that achievement, I got it before post-game too. So here I am 20 hours later. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Well the banana monster ended up joining me and managed to finish that errand haha.
Made it to the Port city and its subtitle gave me a chuckle.

Getting the Alchemy Pot was...interesting, I expected to just get it like in DQ8 and a few other games NOT FIGHT FOR IT XD!
That was the hardest fight yet and came outta nowhere. Kinda glad that a KOed character still gets EXP, but that fight made up for its difficulty with Al Khemi's humorous antics.
Speaking of which Al Khemi is an interesting pun:
1- Obviously pronouncing it will have it sound as alchemy
2- It's a jab at an arabic-like name
3- Alchemy in arabic is Al-Khemiya

I thought the Glim Reaper trophy was glitched as well. It took a long time to pop after the battle trophy for me.
I wouldn't fret. You'll get it before you finish the post game content.
BTW my last glim was a single "flying" blue glim after a battle for zero points, so those count.

I used the Draggle. You might as well download them, you receive them as tickets in game that you can later on get ''pokemons'' with and just use them or not use them however you want.
One of the things I liked about the fairly easy difficulty was that I didn't have to worry about having good pokemons or not. For example the first pokemon you receive becomes less useful late in the game but I used him all the way through. If you want some giga strong pokemons you can get them later on anyway and get them leveled up very fast.
My main party at the end of the game was Dynamite, Dragamuffin, Rhinobore, Captain Zombo, Overripe Buncher, Tadabout, Aye-Aye Sir, Jabbergrubby and Flourongo.
I thought mine was glitched for sure.. There was about 30 hours of play between my 1000 battle wins and my Glims. It didn't make sense to me since I was collecting 2-3 Glims per battle. There must be some hidden condition for them to apply. I only got it around 75 hours of playtime.
Just keep at it. It will pop.
Nope you can get them all everywhere. In Glittering Grotto I had one missing for a long while.
The one that doesn't show on the map with the spell is located after going down the spiral ice into the next area, go past/through that falling ice that you stepped on to get the visible chest, then there's a hidden ice fall behind there.
Good luck.

I've never heard of someone actually keeping Mitey all the way through.
I did.
Zero fucks given. No regrets!
But I also don't use him as often anymore, all about puss in boats and the last evolution of dinoceros.

This. Most of my battles just go Catastroceros -> Earsplitter -> Instant win. But most of my characters are around level 95, now. So it's pretty ridiculous.

i did. used mitey and golden mite until the "end". i just like his design.
Wait what? I've been using my mitey up until now (Castaway Coast) and he's been good, I think? Currently L20 on his 2nd form and seems to do decent damage...
Now you got me confused of what my party should be at this stage

your party should be what you decide on.

I kept Mitey all the way through, in fact i kept Swaines original and also Esthers. Being honest none of the fights were hard enough to make me consider getting resist gear or feeling the need to swap out familiars.

I had zero problems with zero grinding on normal difficulty. I did do all of the errands and bounty hunts when available exept for the third Drewin quest that I saved for post game.

It's a JRPG with the name Ni No Kuni. I don't think anyone here expected this healthy sales.
Napalm_Frank

I wouldn't trust a script of 40+h JRPG to guys who write stories on 1,5h movies. It would be a totally different beast.
I passed the game around the high 50s or low 60s for levels. Pretty much my battles would be as you said:
Catastroceros -> Earsplitter -> Sling Stone -> Attack a bit to see how crazy the boss attacks would be -> Puss in Boats to keep things classy -> Oliver spells -> Catastroceros once again.
Go with whatever party you want. You don't get punished in this game for picking certain familiars. Any of them can be strong enough for what you need it feels.

Another Mitey lover here!
Kept him from beginning to platinum, he was level 99 for quite a long time in the end.
