And that concludes Day 3 of Croten and Mara's Divinity: Original Sin adventures!
Unfortunately, this day of adventuring was shorter than the previous two, which resulted in less hilarious antics than they were used to. It was a far more calm and methodological day for the duo, one filled with less silly events and more progression!

So the day starts out with Mara blowing up Croten during a fight against skeleton warriors. After some battles against ghosts straight out of ghostbusters, challenges set by wandering souls and just general zombie killing, the duo decided to leave the area. They were looking for the secret lab of the murderer in their previously mentioned murder case, but no matter where they looked, it didn't seem possible to get there. So they went back to town, restocked and went north instead of west, entering the first cavern they could find. There wasn't much to be found there, nor were the events memorable.
In the mean time, Croten told Mara he found a way to assign one of their additional two comrades (One a rabid female ranger and the other a bigot female tank) to him, as Mara was handling both of the girls by himself. The tank talked to Mara about how she despised mages and wouldn't mind seeing them all killed, somehow being oblivious that she was talking to a mage, so Mara assigned the tank to Croten, leaving her survival in Croten's hands.

As they entered the cave, there was only a single measly fight to be found. So they started the battle against Gurren Lagann incarnate, creating a sea of inferno to block its path. Gurren Lagann did not flinch as it walked through the sea of fire. So it was up to us, the duo thought. Croten finally had the Tank by his side and he could finally utilize her powers! After Croten decided to send the tank into the middle of the inferno, the Tank punched her burning body to death in the same turn. After her death, the duo destroyed the mech within seconds by just shooting it with arrows. Leaving the cave afterwards, they realized that it had brought them where they needed to go! The team jumped in joy as they witnessed progress right in front of their eyes. But first, a trip back to town was necessary.

After they entered, Croten realized there was a teleportation pyramid which piqued his curiosity. He activated that pyramid and to his surprise, he appeared in the bathroom of a naked woman taking a bath! Croten was in a tight spot, after all he literally just popped up in front of her. As Croten was trying to talk his way out of it, Mara entered the bathroom and stole everything he could find. Mara was sure Croten wouldn't be able to talk himself out of it, but something unexpected happened. Croten was teleported into a super kawaii loli anime desu world, with one glittering man sitting on the throne, surrounded by scantily-clad girls of which he was sure were clearly "thousand year old dragons". Clearly. That man stood up, floated towards Croten, embraced him in his arms and sensually spoke into his ear, whispering only a single sentence "Kawaii in the streets, Senpai in the sheets".

Croten immediately knew what to do. He suddenly started glistening, swiping his hand over his massive orange afro and straightening his 70's porn star moustache. He had learned the art of being kawaii and before the woman knew it, she had already swooned over his beauty, forgiving him for his blatant act of Voyeurism.

"This really isn't so different from my japanese animes", he thought with a glint in his eye and a grin on his face. Mara then somehow blew up parts of the house stealthily, looted the remaining items and left.

END OF DAY 3.

Killing each other is good. And yeah those teleportation pyramids are great.
 
That reminds me,
Death is goddamn terrifying, seeing Mitsuru freak out and that fucking red dot appearing and coming after you on the map is way worse an experience than it should be.

I had a way different experience with death, the moment i heard he was coming I ran straight in to him thinking I could take him. Every time after that he was easy to run away from
 
edit: confession, I never actually used the fusion spells in P3 except an early one, I just never got them and didn't want to find out how to get some.
Me neither. they're really good for bosses and for Reaper unless you do the cheesy tactic I did.

P2 Fusion spells are more like Dual Techs from Chrono Trigger, but they're too useful. Some better use of them would be great.
Bob could literally just be here already and we wouldn't know until it was too late
The only way to tell is if somebody only uses lowercase.
 
Its not optional you have to seal every key hole and poohs world is one of them
I'm pretty sure when I played KH1 years back I beat it without completing the Hundred Acre Wood. Obviously it's required for the full secret ending, just not for the critical path.

Unless that was a change made to Final Mix or something.

Bob also has quite the collection.

I'm bummed it was that easy for me to beat him. I feel like it would've been a sick fight. At least
I got to grind super fast and beat Nyx without the headaches some people have underleveled.

In P3 I
made Thanatos the same level I took on Nyx. That fight took me about 5 hours in total and forced me to use pretty much all my items. Fuck.
 
Speaking on P3, I've been reading that one topic about Fatigue in FES. Really making me wanna play P3P simply because of that. The lack of party control isn't so bad because it means I can just focus on the MC but being forced to NOT play the game essentially sounds retarded.
 
What's been keeping me from buying is the price and I still haven't touched P4 yet.

You should fix that.

The first time I fought the P3 final boss it took like 1-2 hours and he RNGed me when he was at less than 5% health.

I don't know why I keep thinking that you don't own a PS3. Maybe it's because Zen doesn't have one.

He did say something about playing on 360 around the time when when ultimax came out. ;_;

You should've done it, if you were leveled enough it would've been an easy fight.

It's just how the game limits your grind on a day by day basis. Same thing as managing SP in P4.

I was underleveled for the fight, so I just spammed Thunder Reign and won.

I've heard nightmares of Akihiko or Mitsuru being charmed into healing him all the way when the boss had low health. I probably would have thrown my PSP across the room if that happened.

Huh guess it is optional, I guess I just thought that cause in canon sora does it.

Don't think you'll get off that easy. P3P still has the tired function, but you only get tired after you leave Tartarus. Also, P3P doesn't auto heal your entire team when you enter the lobby. You have to pay to heal like in P4.

Glad to hear that because
Ameno-Sagiri
was an utter pushover in P4G and I didn't grind in that game at all. Really, everything after the first 40-ish percent of that game became easy once I got the hang of the system.

Yes, but you could recover that. Unless I'm mistaken I don't believe there's a way to recover the fatigue in FES except by waiting.

i'll never forget the first time the grim reaper attacked me in P3. He came out of nowhere and i thought i was gonna shit my pants.

Thunder reign is the best. Especially the paralysis it gives everytime. Then knock down and all out attacks make it even easier.

Edit: i misread. The fight is meant to be onesided, either you get destroyed or destroy him.

Wtf? The last boss can take hours to beat? What level were you when you faced it? I better make some time when I fight it in the future

P3FES's difficulty curve is a lot better IMO.

You can go in with a Great status if you want to go longer, but I didn't use the Fox anyway, way too expensive. you can also recover a sick status every time you get it by
talking to the School nurse

Also you know that's not the final P4 boss, right?

Uh... I think.. 80~ or so is a good level to be to not make it a breeze to beat him.
