Finally started playing this again after ignoring it for over a month. I got a question for those of you who beat disc 2:

You remember that distinguished mentally-challenged fight when you get attacked on the boat leaving form the city of Saman on the way to the experimental staff? DO you get anything for killing that fish thingy? He kept jumping back into the water and eventually swam away. Bitch ass...

finally beat worm fuck and the finished the grand staff stuff. fighting all the soldiers was fun as fuck. more battles like that plz

wayyyyyy too long without a save point though. oh well, it was still awesome as fuck. so i just got out of the jail cell and i'll play some more tomorrow.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #913 on:** April 14, 2008, 12:05:51 AM »

So I messed with LO for about 3 hrs this weekend and got to the part where I just saved the kids.

That boss was actually kinda hard. It took me two tries to beat it because it surprised me with its Reflect spell.

So now I'm going to start exploring the underground with Seth, Sed and the King. How much longer 'till I finish Disc 3? How long is Disc 4 approximately?

I don't remember fighting that enemy but try this http://www.mycheats.com/view/superguide/3140482/lost_odyssey/xbox_360

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #914 on:** April 14, 2008, 12:12:52 AM »

Not that much longer iirc. Or maybe it's more like 60% through.

Disc 4 varies depending on how much side shit you do.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #915 on:** April 14, 2008, 12:15:52 AM »

I just wanna finish the game. I don't really care about maxing out or finishing all the sidequests. TBH, the sidequests have been pretty boring so far.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #916 on:** April 14, 2008, 12:18:18 AM »

The ones on disc 4 are pretty cool, but I still haven't pursued them.

The required gameplay is probably only like 5 hours, but I don't think you'll have an easy time of it without getting some of the bonus stuff or doing some leveling.

You're gonna need to do some sidequests, especially for some of the skills that make the last fight easier

there are a couple sidequests that actually add to the stories of the characters and going to gongora's dungeon is a MUST since it answers a lot of questions about the storyline. trust me, you want to spend the 30 minutes going through it.

the rest isn't necessary, but it will make the last levels easier and at that point you'll want to just breeze through the final stages like i did.

MCD · « **Reply #919 on:** April 14, 2008, 04:46:02 AM »

forgotten cave is a must, it's short and easy.

you get a nice weapon for seth + an accessory for disabling all ailments.

Thanks. I just checked through that and I noticed that it said I could have stolen 2 slot seeds from the gueen rough eater in the Black Cave. I had no idea about that. Are they lost forever?

demi · « **Reply #921 on:** April 14, 2008, 06:55:57 AM »

Dude you get more than enough slot seeds, not to mention the slot skills you can learn

Beezy · « **Reply #922 on:** April 14, 2008, 06:58:20 AM »

Oh alright. Thanks, I never really bothered trying to steal stuff because it usually doesn't work for me in any rpg.

Bildi · « **Reply #929 on:** May 24, 2008, 02:25:03 AM »

I was just reading through this page and I think I missed something. Are Slot Seeds usable just by themselves? I'm up to disk three and I haven't used one yet, I've been waiting to find out how I use them.

I've also been wondering when my skill slots will get upgraded.

MCD · « **Reply #930 on:** May 24, 2008, 02:29:38 AM »

use them however you see fit.

i shared them across my party equally.

you will get accessories later with 5+/10+ skill slots so no worries.

demi · « **Reply #931 on:** May 24, 2008, 02:32:13 AM »

I can't believe I just bought DLC

Thanks. I didn't realise you just use them by themselves - I thought they would be used later in creating some other item.

My unintended lack of skill slots hasn't been a problem so far, but now that I can use the 20 or whatever Slot Seeds I've been carrying around it'll sure make it easier.

its like final fantasy. just watch a video omg.

i havent even loaded my game... i am all into KOTOR right now. i bought the DLC though.

i changed my mind. i don't feel like going through that fucking dungeon.

How long does the DLC dungeon take?

demi · « **Reply #939 on:** May 25, 2008, 02:26:22 PM »

Not long... I made it to the final floor really easy. I havent tried the boss yet, I went back to the top to save so I wouldnt have to collect all the items again if I died. I am trying the boss today.

For Treasure Trove... it gets frustrating looking for that one item, it could be anything. My last item was a pot in the corner of a house in one of the many cities.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #947 on:** May 25, 2008, 11:55:51 PM »

I never got Treasure Trove

I still get upset about it from time to time.

I might go back and give it another go once I get the DLC

demi · « **Reply #948 on:** May 25, 2008, 11:58:07 PM »

Scenester, I am playing Etrian Odyssey. Right now.

Give me some beginner tips.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #949 on:** May 26, 2008, 12:12:04 AM »

eek its been a while since I started off.

Anyways I think the main deal is just make sure you have a good party set up, everything else should come naturally if youve played a lot of RPGs (which you have of course

)

The party I used that got me through the game perfectly well was:

Front: Landsneckt (or whatever its called), Protector
Back: Medic, Alchemist, Survivalist

You can swap the Survivalist for a Troub if youre after a more advanced strategy.

basically the protector is necessary for the 1st few floors to soak up front row damage (he has good defense buff skills too) , as is the Alchemist to deal damge to FOEs (fighting classes dont deal shit all damage to those guys). Have your Alchemist focus on one element initially (fire is good)

Skills should be self explanatory.. its easy to tell which ones would be useful. Just make sure you get Medic's 'Immunize' pumped up ASAP.Its invalubale defense buffing against bosses, and it will serve you really well through the whole game. Fighters should focus on skills like: Appolon for survivialist, Crush for landswhatever.

A good strategy I used was save skill points as I leveled up and then focused on what was bringing the party down in battles, then assigned points accordingly to rectify the problem. Easy

demi · « **Reply #950 on:** May 26, 2008, 12:14:47 AM »

I'm using a team of

* Landsnekt
* Protector
* Medic
* Survivalist
* Alchemist

I read on GameFAQs this is the "ideal" noob party to beat the game with, so I'm going with that. I also using their FAQ on the boards about what good builds (skills) to use. So far it's working out ok. Poison is destroying.

What equipment should I buy? I only have 3 slots for armor (1 is filled by Armor), but there are shields and gloves and boots.

Vizzys · « **Reply #951 on:** May 26, 2008, 12:28:45 AM »

survivalist is good but Id suggest a troubadour over it

having started a party exactly as that, Ive since replaced it with troub around lvl 30 and realized how much better they are

I also replaced my alchemist with a ronin (which is not a good idea until later in the game)

demi · « **Reply #952 on:** May 26, 2008, 12:45:16 AM »

I only tried once. Relax, old man, I've got it in the bag.

pilonv1 · « **Reply #953 on:** May 26, 2008, 08:27:28 AM »

I'm about 1hr in now and enjoying it.

Triple Bonus Pack on the marketplace looks like a rip off too. Where does the new dungeon come in?

demi · « **Reply #954 on:** May 26, 2008, 10:14:09 AM »
