alright, so after finding the island of 'charon' which is blocked by a level 45 kingdra (sorry, I don't remember the route) you get access to vitaminssince infinite cash is really easy in this game, i'll hold off from being too autistic about minmaxing now, but i'm just going to beat the desertnigger and log off for now i think
Ohohoho...Fuck, there's so many good groundmons
also the nature changerlemme find the route to this shit, this is way too valuable
I beat the 2nd captain thanks to KINGler and crabhammer along with ice beam spam. some plot things happened your two buddies are hiding some secret plan devised by the mc's sister and they split up after having an argument about it. so when you reach the third stratum you gain an annoying catgirl as your new explorer buddy
east (lower path), down, west, down, down, easteasy, actually>>55846746kek, all the shit i've used the move relearner on have sucked. clefable for instance gets nothing

bunken do you remember where ice beam was?
literally the second it posted, i found it kek
this game is pretty good>>55846804kek
Whiteouts: 22The hardest part was getting past the Flying leads, after that, he folded to CHADloom and Whiscash>>Beloom's speed was buffed to base 85kek, holy shitBased devs
It's time bros.
if you can beat a level 48 camerupt then flamethrower can be yours, don't ask me for directions because the third layer is a bit huge
I doubt that...
What's the third stratum? Molten Caves?
>>55846861Yep
found another of these strange tablets at northern atoll, it's west and up
ugh...
>>55846799In the ocean, near an FoE on the east path.
i need to completely reshuffle my team for this shit, i cannot fucking win. probably just stopping for now, very fucking annoyedWhiteouts: 30
How do you unlock the EV Training items?
>>55846892it's a town in the west of the ocean, don't quite remember the directions
Sorry for just disappearing, a relative left their cat with me while they went traveling and the piece of shit managed to knock down half of my plant pots from the shelves and I was having a massive headache trying to clean my porch.....which I just scrubbed earlier today and since it won't stop raining all the dirt got soaked and now everything's a muddy mess, I hate cats, I truly do.Seething aside, this character somehow looks familiar and I don't quite know why.>>55846815I guess Sharpness was too difficult to implement? Still nice but Stone Axe spam will always be more fun.
>>55846895Found it. Thank you. Some of those FoEs were getting a bit rough with 0 EVs.
wasn't there some guy in old romhacking threads that kept asking about his design for some dino pokemon, he kept putting and removing lines on it's stomach
Whiteouts: 1This is the first fucking fight in the fucking game, why does the wannabe Florinia have a stacked team of high BST mons (for this point in the game) with good movepools?!
uh oh>>55846950I think you can catch some meat shields on the starting island and just spam helping hand
>>55846950You need to paralyze them with Plusle as far as I can tell. Get ready for that to be a running theme on hard mode for these fights; many of them are borderline unmanagable without Sleep/Para spam to give you extra turns.
Whiteouts: 28I should really stop trying to do these while 30 levels under kek
Why am I barely getting any EXP from wild battles? Why is literally everything outspeeding my Pokemon? Why are wild encounters seemingly fucking EV'd?! I'm not even playing on hard.>>55846961The only two mons I can use thus far are Krabby and Geodude, for some reason they're both hitting like wet paper, so I don't use quantity is the issue, not to mention they can't outspeed anything and the fucking Porygon 2 shoots Geodude with Psybeam and 1 shoots the Krabby with Electroweb.>>55846968I'm playing on normal and I'm sticking to dualtype restrictions, so that's gonna be rough.
>>55846970oh shit you might be able to do the ancient tablet on the northwest island
>>55846978think quantity is the issue* fucking typos.
>>55846978just use the minun/plusle until you're done with the 'tutorial' and have access to the actual labyrinth, you can beat florinia easy with them
I wonder what 6 letter words you could put in that sentence... a few come to mind
>>55846979I doubt it, this is for that quest at Aqua Resort
>>55847012Forgot pic
I sincerely hate when fangames try to force you to use the dev's shilled mons, Pokemon is an RPG where variety and using your bros is the one of the whole selling points, but some absolute retards just don't get that and try to force you to use the mons they like and only the mons they like.>>55847008I'm too stubborn for that sadly.
How do you do the tablets? I've found a few of them but have no idea how to activate them.
I knew Nyx seemed familiar, especially with those weird red marks her eyes, she really reminds me of the maiden from Demon Souls.
I think I saw a kid get blown up by a golem, cause he disappeared and I fought 3 foes, a golem that used explosion, a crobat, and a rhyperior. rip random kid I guess
but you do get this in return
Kinda annoying placement desuThanks for Flamethrower though
>come back>train up some actual shit like bug/electric volbeat for the skarmory and ledian (bug/fighting huge power etc etc)>win first tryI just wish the grinding in this game was better, it's the only real problem I have so farnow shutting down for real>>55847035i don't think that complaint really applies to this game, or at least not past the intro>>55847009it's definitely (N)Yggdra
Not badShame Aether seems like a shit type offensively
I don't really use flame orb but fuck limited inventories
>D-did you just assume m-my gender CHUD?!>>55847087Noted, I just don't like when fangames don't give you a choice of starters or force you to use the dev's shilled mons for the whole playthrough.

Ooooooh, what do we have here? Are we getting a Sleipnir based Rapidash?On another note, Magnet Pull is not working according to my tests, which sucks balls for me especially since I really wanted to get a Beldum and it's encounter rate seems pretty low.>>55847169Is the Typhlosion choice scarfed?
Nig
>>55847202gerWhat the fuck is this? Sturdy just cancels multi-hit moves now?
Interesting type, seems to have an amazing movepool too.>>55847208Fun ain't it? Can't wait for a boss to abuse this.

>>55847237>>55847169>>55847189Bugbros...we fucking LOST!>>55847200Yeah, all the regionals are based on EO enemies and those are usually based on monsters from legend/folklore
why is my kingler the only one with any evs, and it's just 10 in two stats?
>>55847276Yeah, best of fucking luck with this one, jesus christ kek
>>55847276What's Exeggutor based on? He looks hilariously stupid and I love him.
>>55847278You can only get EVs via vitamins or power items, vitamins only increase it by 10You can buy the vitamins on Charon and the power items on Varley, forget where they are in the ocean

Low encounter rates+low catch rates, MY FAVORITE COMBINATION!>>55847237Is the sun set before the battle starts? I think I can counteract this bullshit thanks to Sudowoodo's Sand Stream.I assumed it might be a choice scarf since that's common for Eruption Typhlosion, I sincerely hope it's not choice specs.>>55847276Neato.>>55847286YMIR'S FROZEN BALLS.
>>55847318orevald, how would you like a relatively easy to get a steel/psychic legendary
>>55847331I'm listening.
>>55847294no idea what exeggcute is based on if anything, but exeggutor is based on 'Cannon Palm' kek>>55847286.......honestly, though, it doesn't look TOO bad. sableye being the only thing who can reset sun and doesn't even have prankster, means hopefully i can just set rain, grab armaldo and not worry too much h-haha..the bigger issue will be the faggot 252 speed EVs on everything, which means i'll probably have to grind a shit ton more for carbos's or be very vigilant about power anklet training, which is really annoying. at least this game doesn't cuck you out of basic training expenses like ashen frost, and you're given way better resources than that game, but i'm sort of reminded of the same kind of boss design and training new shit being a pain in the dick
>>55847361there's that fountain outside the guild building. if you get on it's north side and face it to interact with it, you can make a wish. you can choose either "get a good item" or "have a fateful encounter". you can repeat this as much as you want, and you should do good item to hoard some stones you can sell, but fateful encounter has a tiny, tiny chance to let you get a jirachi

Whiteouts: 2Went to fight the pirate faggot in the sea, his Carvanha is spamming Wave Crash without taking any recoil damage, it's not taking damage from sand storm, it's ignoring my Geodude's Sturdy and it's doing so much damage which just a freaking Aqua Jet that I'm baffled, the last thing I wanted after dealing with Full Moon is dealing with faggotry of this caliber.>>55847370Oh, so that's the point of the fountain.

Whiteouts: 3Why the fuck did they make the battle house faggots have the most obnoxious sets imaginable? Why is every single trainer only using Water types with poison spam and disable spam? Who in their right fucking mind thought this would be a good idea?>>55847440Shiiiiiiiiiiiet, it's time foh da saint to cum back.
if this game didn't do the thing where you throw out a new mon mid turn I wouldn't have won. Dusclops does rain dance, tanks a sludge bomb from venasaur but get's poisoned, raticate uses bulldoze to slow it and torkal down. raticate dies to heat wave, throw out kleavor, dusclops dies to it's poison so I throw out ampharos. rock slide torkal, psywave venusaur. entei and roserade are thrown out, and they take out ampharos, I throw out mightyana. now the key here is that the two of the enemy pokemon are both at death's door. mightyana takes a crunch from entei, I use snarl and take them both out, typhlosian and sableeye are thrown out, and because it's mid turn I get rock slide on the two of those fucks. fuck eruption, fuck venusaur with life orb, and fuck making evs training items/vitamins only god damnit
>>55847440>>bug/dragon flygonFugI really should've checked after all the other bouts of type autism kek
>Getting bullied by Florinia
Her autistic enthusiasm endears me.
I have been using Wigglytuff's Covet to rob every boss blind of their best item. This game lets you keep them after the battle.I will fill my team with Choice Items and Leftovers.
I'm not as glad as you guys are that breloom has spore, two tries
>>55847536Kek, did the base 85 speed fuck you over?
is there a term in storytelling of just throwing a bunch of shit at once at the reader/player to try and get a positive response, cause I feel like that's happening to me right now>>55847550it wasn't great, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the fight before it
>>55847095Hello Kujura
>Claims he's Kitt's brotherI don't remember this guy from the Albaz lore yugibros.
>>55847529Kek, same reason as to why I like Delphox so much, Magician enables some really silly shit, especially in rebornlikes due to the duplication glitch.>>55847604He's named after the little Spriggan that joins Eclesia and Albaz.
This fight came down to the wire, but I got it first try. Dragon Dance Lapras is really cute in the rain. I managed to yoink my third set of Leftovers as well.>>55847614Based robbery enjoyer.
B-bros.....the cute redhead is calling me a yawnfag.....>>55847642Did the dev make him spam the fuck out of Explosion and Self-Destruct?
>>55847563>is there a term in storytelling of just throwing a bunch of shit at once at the reader/player to try and get a positive response?Yes. Is called writer's floof, when the guy writing the story "thinks" that showing a lof of stuff happening will make the story awesome, or seen cultured if he uses obscure synonim words for more common words.AKA, the writer is wanking himself about how great he is.
>>55847671Nah he just runs a sandstorm team that has no contingencies for surprise downpour via pelican.
decided to check out empire's new update and uh h-haha....let's just say i hope you don't miss your old team too much
>>55847702>SpoilerOh boy! Don't you love updates that force you to redo all your game?!
>>55847702kek, is it broken or intentional? I know that after you beat E10 your team gets put in box 24 (I think that was the box) while you're "dreaming" or whatever the fuck
>>55847732>>55847723I'm not sure of the extent of itI'll save it for the playthrough so the seethe can be nice and fresh and (mostly) unspoiled
Was doing a few of the sidequests to expand the store and such, recalled the move relearner was here. Not terrible moves on Sudowoodo, but taking Wood Hammer away from it kinda sucks, granted it did get some bonker buffs, so it's not the worst thing ever.>>55847692That's lame.>>55847702How does Empire just keep getting worse?! Like holy fucking shit.......
>>55847774Cursewodo in the sand seems hilarious.>>55847702Major system update that fucks with the data structure of how pokemon work or something?
I think that's more than enough for the rest of the game, h-haha...>>55847750Well, if it's intentional, I'll respect it (While seething greatly) and not debug my shit back in, and actually build a new team/bring out some reserves
I have no idea how much the game that this is inspired on botched my forefather's myths, but I'm going to assume that since Yggdrasil is here and there's earthquakes, Nidhogg is probably afoot.>>55847784Oh it is and I'm pretty sure that since this game runs on gen 3 mechanics the weather doesn't go away normally, ROCKBROS, WE'VE WON!
>>55847796Can confirm the Pelican is a Seattle Elemental with this game's weather mechanics.
Whiteouts: 33That was roughThankfully, EQspam does wonders, assuming you can catch the fast shit (Typhlosion) on a switch
....Bros? Our response?
Place is straight up named desert of Golgonda, I guess the dev REALLY likes Albaz lore.>>55847813KEK.>>55847829Jokes on her, we run dualtype teams instead.
>>55847829We run two types, so i-i-it's totoally d-different, h-haha...
>>55847816gg but it's not over yet
I hope you like two fights in a row
Based autist.
Whiteouts: 4I made the horrible mistake of changing the difficulty to hard to see how awful it was and suddenly every single trainer is using full teams of Fighting types, I often wonder if it's all a cosmic joke at my expense.>>55847816Oh shit I didn't notice you were still at that horrible fight, GG, can't imagine it being pleasant to get through this.>>55847855Uh oh.
Whiteouts: 35>>55847855haha...At least you get healed...>>55847870Nah, I spent the hour grinding stones kek
Wait......why does Sturdy never fucking work on my end but my opponents get a hyper boosted version of it?>>55847876Noted, kek.
>>55847788kek, might as well macro that shit tonight, don't feel like dealing with vitamin autism tomorrow>>55847796the yggdrasils in etrian odyssey (yes, more than one) don't really have connection to the one in norse myths, they were temporary stopgaps created to contain the earth's pollution after civilization was destroyed, and have become corrupt over hundreds of years and threaten to destroy the world that came afterwards. there is actually a nidhogg, the bullshit hard superboss from EO4 that chews miasma from the tree and is supposed to destroy it if it ever goes apocalypticthis game looks though like it takes from EO3, where the yggdrasil is an alien entity that came to earth to contain an eldritch abomination, this guythe trailer for this very game showed this faggot back in eevee expo, can't wait to get raped for hours by him again given this game is already trying to be very le hard
>>55847886is it just 1:1 the same thing? the game just mentioned it right now
Whiteouts: 5Yeah, this game on hard is absolute dogshit and I thought things were already pretty annoying on normal sometimes.>>55847886Suddenly muh eldritch monsters. Apparently the game isn't finished as of yet and only goes up to the 6th strata I think? On another note I should probably give EO a try one of these days.
>>55847890Yeah, if they called it the "Abyssal One" or "Abyssal God" too then it's the exact same guy
stopping here for now, three fights in a row that were very annoying. nothing beats the third gym leader though, that was some real nonsense.>>55847902they did
It sounds like he's not even trying to hide the EO3 basis for the hack.
>>558478988th I think, there's 10 planned thoughI'd probably recommend starting with 4 if you ever want to try it, it's mechanically a lot different than the rest (an actual world you explore instead of just one long dungeon, for one) but by far the easiest and thus the one that's probably the best to ease into the series with
Gonna stop too
Still chugging along in the third area.I'm apparently going really slowly through this game compared to all of you.
>>55847917Is the gameplay really autistic and demanding? I remember playing some old JRPG's back in the day that had absurdly massive skill trees that very much required you to know exactly what you needed to get and absurdly specific requirements to beat bosses and pretty much nothing was explained to you at all, is it that level of investment or are we talking just a simpler RPG with a normal progression system and such?
Is this man jokerposting or jigsawposting? Or both?
(you) just lost the game.
I played gen 3 based games at least a hundred times by now and I've never seen your own Pokemon preventing you from switching due to Magnet Pull, I'm going to assume this is shitcoding.
>>55847915kek, well, I just hope he's not as retarded as he is in his native game>>55847916yeah, there's a bunch of references to the games themselves, like the guildmaster called 'Visil' or the stratums being directly called after the ones from the games, but it's very much centered on EO3>>55847931they aren't like that outside of maybe EO1 and 2 (and both of those got remakes which are a lot more forgiving and fun to play - just don't touch 2 remake's expert mode because the bosses in that are absolutely fucking retarded). they are difficult, and do have large skill trees, but unless you're being a retard, you can get through them mostly fine.there are the endgame superboss fights after the credits where in all games except 4 and 5 if you don't bring a minmaxed no fun uber DPS party you will basically be oneshot, but you don't have to fight them and there's plenty of guides to beat all of them
>>55847944roost might also be broken
>>55847934>>55847940>You lostOh well. How are you feeling, and I cannot stress this enough, my gamers?
I don't know that feel.
>>55847947Noted, seems interesting at least.>>55847974Why am I not shocked a game Ayrei playtested is buggy as shit? I swear it's like every time tards like DemIce or him are involved in one of these games things get shittier even if they aren't the ones working on said game.
I'm in for some real shit, aren't I?
Sudowoodo is making cheesing a few boss fights piss easy and now that I have Shuckle as well, I might be able to cook up some meme sets in case of emergencies.>>55848024Get ready to get bullshited.
Understandable.
Opened up empire to test the waters>Schizoshit>Fuckhuge walls of text that took ~10 seconds of speedup text skipping to get through (there was like 4 off those in the first 10 minutes)The most annoying part is probably going be porting over all the shit I've changed, like default keybinds and whatnot, because I can't remember what all I changed kek>>55848024You'll probably have a less annoying time, having Drizzle Pelipper to instantly fuck over a good portion of her team at least kek
Regibros.....?Anyhow, I'm calling it a night.>>55848074Let me guess, Octavius decided to dump a massive schizo shitfit section were the MC learns some secrets right after that horrible prison section? On another note, did Empire's art get any changes?
4th try. It was still annoying as shit even with Pelipper because Venusaur is seemingly precognizant and would OHKO it with Sludge Bomb on switchin and then Sableye would just reset the sun. Roserade was also a very big problem for my team with the type chart changes as well. I ended up winning by abusing Gen 3 doubles mechanics to have Wiggs fire TWaves into the slot of something dying to pre-para them as they come in. Luckily Lapras had the answer for Entei, but only if I could keep it protected for the rest of the fight.>>55848074
>>55848082It's definitely a schizo section kekI didn't read any of it though, I'll save that for when I'm done with Odyssey>On another note, did Empire's art get any changes?No new/updated portraits, I think>>55848095gg, lets hope that they don't get any more autistic, h-haha...
It should have been me, not her! It's not fair!>>55848100I can only imagine how """""""""FUN""""""""" the new Empire update is going to be.
>>55848100there was 1 added, maybe this is armandit looks like there's a bunch of placeholders still in there though kek>>55848074yeah, i don't plan on making puzzle skips for this shit either, or touching what got overwrittenmaybe when the full game comes out i might and then distribute it using an alt on every fangame discord kek
>>55848109My waifu! Best game, 10/10.
Whiteouts: 7I keep convincing myself that I need to go to sleep and yet the call of exploration keeps me going, if you can beat a level 46 Water boss to the southeast of the main island, you can reach Charon island and in there you can get an assault vest right in the open. Thankfully Sudochad and Sneedshrew are masters of the art of cheese, as soon as I get the ability to change abilities, I'm gonna pull a whole squad of Sturdy cheese mons, nothing will be able to stop me!>>55848125Hexo sexo is always based.
Half his team having Fake Out is obnoxious but having all 3 of them hit the Rocky Helmet is hilarious.
>>55848141Explore west sea for ability capsules and EV training gear bro.
Edgekino
>2 bosses in a row
>>55848156I feel a Dual Battle would've worked better.
Lapras carried hard.
The Splatoon 4 leak is looking weird ngl.
And surviving the back to back bosses will be my stopping point for now.>>55848161Possibly but it'd be insufferable if they couldn't code Ethan's AI to not be shitter-tier given how many must-answer threats the squidman has.
>>55847947Untold is way harder than 2U. The boss complaints like HP Bloat, etc, are memes.
feels weird to be 3 leaders down and not a single HM
why does every character in this game speak like a shut the fuck up joke comic relief character? it is physically impossible for fangames and hacks to have dialogue worth reading. there's a failsafe in creators' dna that prevents them from writing anything except cringe
>>55849163I think it's to try and take the edginess off a bit, but it rarely lands so it just ends up annoying.
>>55848702Maybe if you're playing Story mode. The boss HP is objectively bloated. Juggernaut in the original has 4500 HP, in remake has 72000. Sure you get Force, Grimoires, not as much defense as original, but come on, that's almost 20 times as much health. it's obviously meant to compensate for Fafnir's super high damage unless you have a very optimized partyUntold is harder, you are right, but 2 Untold's bosses are a lot more annoying and unfun to fight
>>55849163Sadly characters with a single personality trait that constantly make weak or shitty jokes nonstop isn't an uncommon occurrence in fangames/romhacks alone.>>55849229I will never understand why devs love bloating healthbars so much, it either forces you to go super sweaty tryhard mode to the point you have to build hyper specific builds or it forces the player to waste a metric fuckload of resources and money in potions and other useful things just to get through the grindfest of a fight.
Uh oh......
Whiteouts: 8The ugly catfish is either part Ground as usual or part Rock, so I can't cheese it with Sudochad and Sneedshrew.
>>55849509There's a class in 2 Untold called Fafnir Knight, who is story mode only (story mode gives you a preset party with more dialogue and focus on, well, story). It is so absurdly powerful that even a single one can pretty easily solo the superbosses in a game where you're meant to have 5 party members, you can very easily deal 20-30k damage in the span of a few turns when the highest HP enemies in a game where that's the limit for most bossesThe idea I guess is that you'd play story and then even an unoptimized Fafnir would allow you to do enough burst damage to shave off the bloated HP bars.But you really should just play Classic, it's less cringe overall and feels more balanced on Normal mode. Maybe just shift to Normal difficulty for bosses only and stay Expert the rest of the time
The schizophrenia is getting worse...>>55848118Wasn't Armand a black haired nigger? Or am I thinking of someone else >>55849522It's Dark/Ground
>Character named Elijah>Uses DrowzeeOy vey.......>>55849570Reminds me of how in the old days of WoW the devs desperately tried to force players to play Death Knight to the point they made that mistake of a class unbelievably busted in every sense imaginable, DK summoning a horde of ghouls could melt the health of bosses with barely any effort. Will do that when I try it.>>55849592That looks like Rob rather than Armand.Noted, not sure how I'm gonna cheese that one.
Ulala mademoiselle~
I hope a Bystial banishes you Kitt.
ran it for 2 hours last night and an hour today at just 10x speed, hope this is good enough, if it isn't i'm going to mcfucking kill myself>>55849592>>55849599nah, armand is a black hair nigger, but remember they did change some sprites with 10.5 (most noticeably hailey) and armand is the only character who very glaringly doesn't have and needed a portrait, so could be him, guy looks like he's wearing armor toorob's portrait is still intact, so don't think it's him
ooh, that's pretty neatAlso, you probably want to have a few antidotes for the 4th stratum, specifically after the base camp
>>55849716>Antidotes>In a game with bag limitsWe pechamaxx in this household
>>55849726haha...I forgot about berries kek, already have ~50 pechas

Ah yes, Unktena 2.
HOLY SHIT.I'm getting choice paralysis from the sheer amount of amazing Rock and Steel types I have access to.
Whiteouts: 38Flutter Mane jumpscare. I wonder when I get access to ParadoxmonsThe first time Fairy not existing has fucked me over desu
>yanma is 6% encounter>trade for porygon, so need to catch another>lickitung is 6%>beldum is 6% encounter for kangaskhan trade>miltank is 6% encounter and ALSO used for a fucking trade for TAVROS>later, kecleon is a 6% encounter in the 4th stratumREEEEEEEEEEE>>55849881yeah, this game isn't afraid of giving you actually good shit, even if the fights are annoying
Anyone's seem the fishing rod? This game is being extremely generous with the fossils and I am going hogwild trying to get them all.>>55849906Yeah the encounter rate retardation is really fucking obnoxious.
No problem with Florinia.>>55849881I really like this game's approach to difficulty. It doesn't pull punches but it gives you more than enough good options to deal with them.>>55849918I just got the Super Rod in the 4th area so I probably missed the first two prior.
hehe>>55849918the first fishing rod is in the seaside grotto to the west of the docks on talrega, the second is from a fisherman in the lake above where you fight the desertnigger>encounter rate retardationit's not really bad, at least there's no 1%, just my dualtype being fucking annoying though yeah you probably shouldn't make any encounter under 10% in one of these games
annoying that you have to run all the way back to the krabby restaurant to change your team, I thinkWhiteouts: 33
Okay, so the regis are activated at the 5th stratum, so that's something for Orevald to look forward to kek
I really like that Arbok.>>55849935Yup, it's a pretty good way of doing difficulty, though some fights are still utter bullshit.>>55849936Ah, noted, thanks Wagie.I hate the encounter autism because a lot of the low encounter rate mons are also low catch rate as well, which makes it annoying, thankfully you can just use a saved state to circumvent that, but still.
>Follow Me + Bulk upThat's pretty neat desu
This will probably be me during Cuckguard 3.0 or gods forbid me as well if I ever decide to touch Empire again.
have any of you guys who are further ahead found an upgrade yet?
The Regis get a buff to their bst, making them 620, alongside getting Aether ans a secondary type>>55850081I'm pretty sure I found one in the 4th stratum somewhere
>>55850081I had one before I entered the fourth area but idr where I got it. Possibly a sidequest in the ocean area?
bit trickier than the last>>55850092>>55850120thanks, I'll look around. still haven't gone much into stratum 3 yet kek, i'm afraid of that captain and want to overprep
>yanmas took 30 minutes to find and catch>beldum was found in 2 minutes and took 3 ultra ballslove the rn(i)g(ger) gods
>>55850146She strikes me as one of those kinds of fights that can easily blindside you, but if you know it's coming it's not too bad compared to being caught unprepared by it. Whitney energy except in a game intended to be played by adults and not children I think is the comparison I'd use.
i think this is a reference to Sars/Sors.>>55850092>Regis get a sizeable buff and get turned into robot waifusHuh......
ma'am, if it's not too rude to ask, what would be the color of his skin?>>55850162that's fair. i got messed up really hard by the desertnig though and the fire bitch is someone who's actually strong vs my type, so not taking any chances
it looks like everyone on this island is a bit...peculiar one might say
>>55850178On that note I'm genuinely impressed how not pozzed this game is so far after the (((cesspools))) we've recently trudged through.>>55850170I can't fucking read the word sar without an indian accent in my head the internet has ruined me.
>>55849229>>55849509Enemies in EO2 had objectively the lowest HP pools overall in the series. Simply comparing the games between 1, 2 and 3, you'd notice how enemy HP on a whole was because the developers tried to "balance" encounters by giving them higher defenses in exchange for lower HP. Which failed considerably because player damage output was still more than enough to shred bosses to the point that 2 has some of the easiest bosses in the series. For example that 4500 HP you cited for Juggernaut in DS? Stratum 3 boss in 1 had 7000 and Stratum 3 in 3 had 10000. Do you also need to be reminded that bosses like Chimera, Scylla and Juggernaut have puzzles to reduce their maximum HP? Do you remember what the gimmick of the Juggernaut fight is? You know the part where he buffs everyone's damage output, and the trick is to take advantage of his buffs before he uses King's Rush.Next, the "story mode" thing makes you sound like someone who dropped out of the mid 10s since you're regurgitating the same bullshit excuses from players who refuse to look at the overall game environment. Not only is the damage output for the player side higher in general to match that of the other games in general, burst got reworked, grimoires and meals also exist as well. The story team is also worse than a properly made classic team for quite some time because Fafnir/Flavio are generally busy feeding the damage from Link Order/Ailing Slash for 60% of the game while they wait for their tools to come online.I could go on but this is something that should be saved for /eog/ over in /vg/.
Why Rockey and not Sargas? >>55850187You're not the only one, kek.>>55850188Noted I suppose.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE USING THE PIKACLONESThat explains why I couldn't release them I guessWhy can't I just have sneedoking get buffed
kek
Sorry faggots, you're still not a part of my dualtype, so I VILL NOT use you
RG did you find the Chansey for the quest in the 4th Stratum and if so, where is it?
Whiteouts: 9Gligar is not taking super effective damage from Water moves, I really hate it when games change Pokemon types on a whim for no good reason.
>>55850241According to the doc he's still Ground/Flying.
>>55850237It's in this part of the 4th stratum
Whiteouts: 39
Whiteouts: 10I'm not even sure how I'm getting through this fight, Skarmory spams Iron Defense and refuses to die, I can't use Magnemite (soon to be Magneton) to deal with it because of the Gligar, Gligar doesn't take any damage from anything and has Bulldoze, the fucker then follows up with a Nidoking that keeps spamming Earth Power and Shock Wave, which pretty much deletes every single Pokemon I have from from existence besides Cradily and Cradily can't deal with it because Skarmory refuses to die and keeps spamming Steel Wing, I guess it's grinding time.>>55850243WHAT?! B-but my Kingler's fucking Crabhammer pretty much deletes everything, even mons that resist it, how the fuck is Gligar taking 2 Crabhammers to the fucking face like it's fucking nothing?
>>55850272Probably Eviolite+maxed def
>>55850272Lileep*
Oh? Is that what activates these?
I was wondering, will any of you ever play Pokémon TriMaster?Might be worth checking out. https://pokemontrimaster.wordpress.com/about/

can you sail to northern atoll at this point? i assume you can, just not sure where it is>>55850187yeah, i was really expecting even just one offhand reference of a male character talking about his husband/vice versa for women, honestly amazing there's been nothing>>55850188>Enemies in EO2 had objectively the lowest HP pools overall in the seriesthat's fair, but then EO2U also has objectively the highestgreat dragon has over 70k, whereas it might have 30-40k in other games, where you also have a lot of the shit that I already brought up like force or grimoires, there's no comparison>have puzzles to reduce their maximum HPsure, and that's still way the fuck more than other game even if you do that. scylla gets, what, 15k HP if you do the puzzle right? on top of summons. cototrangul from EOU had maybe 9k and has nonealso, I generally know what people in this general like and it isn't minmaxing your damage potential to autism levels and navigating large skill trees perfectly by looking up walkthroughs to figure out all the best shit. yes, it's very possible to make hyper offense builds that rip apart any boss in the game in 5 turns, no that's not how normal people play, and that's also why story mode is the way it is, by giving you a character that's braindead and shits thousands of damage for doing essentially nothing because atlus was smart enough to know most people don't play like thatalso I have never played story mode, but can't you class change and shit anyway in that?
>>55850302Yeah nothing stops you from sailing there at any point. I don't remember the path though, just fiddle around on the west sea until you find it.
>>55850287probably at some point, we know it's supposed to be fucking awful>>55850302i guess i shouldn't be calling atlus smart in the same post i'm talking about how retarded the boss design is kek>>55850272see >>55847305 it is eviolite and impish 252 def

>just some gay stallsetkek, easiest one so far>>55850331>>55850333yeah, from what i understand, it's another one of the 'worst fangames of all time' according to reborncord, i've seen dem*ce talk about it a bitone day..
Question for the EOniggas here, are FOEs consistently dangerous throughout the whole game in EO or do they follow the same pattern as in this game where they're basically instant death if you encounter them early on but halfway through the second area you have enough tools to consistently fight (and even farm) them even if you're underleveled/understatted compared to them.
>>55850302No one is suggesting that you go full retard balls to the wall, what I'm saying is that even a cursory team of 3x DPS, 1 Tank and 1 Heal/Support as long as they're remotely synergistic can inflict some real hurt on bosses. EO as a series has always rewarded more offensive thinking ever since the original release of 2. There's a reason why a lot of players try to get newbies comfortable with not relying on a class that does nothing but healing and instead go for hybrid utility classes like Troubadour, War Magus, Sovereign, etc.
sick design but>ghost/fireno body slam serene grace cheese this time kek. probably can't get this one now>>55850360>do they follow the same pattern as in this game where they're basically instant death if you encounter them early on but halfway through the second area you have enough tools to consistently fight (and even farm) them even if you're underleveled/understatted compared to them.it's this one yeahi do wish this game could have leaned more into the puzzle aspect of FOEs from etrian odyssey instead of just stealthing around them, as in that game FOEs will only move when you move but also can sometimes have their own rules and such, but it's naturally very limited what you can do with pokemon overworld movement kek
>>55850251Am I retarded or blind? I'm not seeing the Chansey for the sidequest. They don't accept any random Chansey you catch for it, at least not when I put it in the front slot of my party and talked to her.
Pretty eh reward desu>>55850384Oh, my bad, it's probably a overworld mon then, I didn't bother going through the forest to look for it
might have to start grinding money for vitamins soon, this is getting painful
>>55850360Depends on the game. Usually you avoid them on first encounter and just before the boss/early on in the following ones then you go back and mop them all up for gear/test team synergy.Then later on, if your team is really good then you can just kill FOEs on sight and the reason why you skip them is to conserve resources. Or it could be the original EO1 where after a while, the random encounters are arguably more dangerous than the FOEs in some stratums.
>>55850412Since the second area in this game I've been killing them on sight. Sounds like this game got the feel of them authentic then.
i lost>>55850363that's fair and that obviously works for most EO games, I just think you really have a miserable time just due to the numbers in EO2U expert if you're someone who didn't pick the 'right' classes. war magus and troubadour are really good, obviously, and don't even need any tryhardness to be good, but if your 'damage' classes are shit like ronin or landsknecht, you're going to be in for a shit time. i don't mean you can't win, it's not a balance issue per se in that most builds can be viable, just that some will take 80 turns and others will take 5>>55850417yeah, game does a pretty decent job at fitting etrian odyssey-isms into pokemon. there's some shit that just can't translate over or wouldn't do it as well (loot being used directly for weapons, drawing maps) but it's breddy gud overall
Hopefully he turns out to be pretty goodThough I'm gong to constantly be comparing him to the Africanvs regional Donphan kek

>>55850458>slither wing isn't in>>>>>>>>>>>They omit the best paradox monMy disappointment is immeasurable.
the final boss will likely be preceded by 4 very powerful trainers decided by a hierarchy to be placed at the top? a great 4 one might say? a supreme 4?
>>55850458>>55850476Volc isn't (connected to) gen 3 or lower, unlike all the other past paradoxmons, unfortunatelyWould've loved to finally have a opportunity to use the fucker

Whiteouts: 11 I think.I haven't seen blatant cheating this retarded in a fucking while, Nidoking never fucking misses even after I hit Sand Attack on it 4 times and no before someone brings it up, I know Shock Wave can't miss, but his other attacks like Earth Power can, this is bullshit, Skarmory 1 shots my Shuckle even after I got 3 defense boosts on it, Gluttony is bugged, BECAUSE OF COURSE IT IS, the Gligar is complete and utter bullshit on a level that I find difficult to fucking describe and I've still only faced 3 of this utter shit stain's team, also, the Skarmory seems to be completely immune to full paralysis as well from what I've seen so far, this is amazing.>>55850355It's a miracle but I think once again I'm agreeing with the Reborncord faggots, this """""""game""""""" looks like an abomination.>>55850437>>55850451IRON THREADS AND THORNS BROS......>>55850458I love the fluffy moth dragon as well, sucks that it's not in.
>a group that steals from others to survive>7 lettershmm....
>>55850490Given we're seeing the legendary dogs show up in bosses, I'm surprised they didn't add the paradox versions of them in.>>55850491The biggest missed opportunity in this game is that tardchan doesn't give you the Rocky Helmet.>>55850520OY. STOP NOTICING THINGS GOYIM.

Not sure what type it is, but I wasted a good 30 great balls on this thing already.>>55850520Oy vey......>>55850552I'm hunting a few Water types, Omanite at least gets it, but Omanite also gets deleted easily even with eviolite I think.
>>55850561it takes super damage from steel moves so it could still be water/rock or water/ice
>>55850561ghost/rock, apparentlyalso, if you do the sidequest for the old amber, you can get an aerodactyl who is rock/dragon, don't know how much that will help.you'll probably have to shell out money for vitamins
Had to reset the game because I accidentally killed the first one and believe me when I say this thing is hard to catch, I wasted nearly 40 great balls on it while it was at red health while paralyzed.>>55850563Neither of those two take super effective damage from Steel.
>>55850581steel does double to rock
schizo time
>>55850581oh you meant the dualtyping, my mistake
>no healing point near the captainfuck offwell, time to see if my grinding paid off

kek yeah, very easy if you do a lot of preparationi didn't even need to use vitamins, just the power items sitting on reserve were good enough for the EVs. rain dance armaldo fucked her up and once the typhlosion came out and got hit to 1 HP from a rock slide it was pretty much over>>55850614yeah, i pretty much just have typing and that's it
I guess that's the E4 all formed up>>55850744gg>yeah, i pretty much just have typing and that's itkek, I could probably reach (hard) for a couple more slots, but yeah, I don't think anyone's getting a bingo on this gameAnd while less common fangame tropes doesn't automatically make a good game, it certainly seems to be the case here
Whiteouts: 15I hate this fight, I hate this fight, I hate it so much......
Victory just tastes sour by this point.I should probably go grab that Aerodactyl and maybe waste a bit more time EV training, because I can feel a headache brewing.
