Gang,
We’ve done it. The last 4-ish battles were a lot easier than some of the ones preceding it. Dragon spam + status spam was enough to get this scuffed run done.
Thank you everyone that commented, even those that told me to turn back! Knowing I’d be here 30 more times took some of the stress out of my attempts.
Howdy gang
Due to an… unfortunate guide, I’m in the Palace of the Dead earlier than I’d ideally be. The guide said do it before Heim, but after digging around apparently I should’ve done Heim first.
I’m currently Union Level 36, floor 81, and battles are becoming an absolute war of attrition. To cap it off I found out key missing information about summon magic *today*.
Things I’ve tried but didn’t work: Buying summon magic from the shop (not available until UL40), recruiting enemies with summon magic (it disappears), recruiting high level monsters (many cannot be recruited).
Things that I’ve tried that sometimes work: using shields and guaranteed crits to push stuff in holes (doesn’t work on fliers or when there are no holes), recruiting high level monsters to help even the odds (sometimes it just doesn’t work out)
Things that I’ve tried that are working: recruiting dragons when possible and abusing dragon scales, forming rampant aura walls with dragons/folcurt, spamming poison with Cressida/deneb, terror debuffing with Denem
At this point I’m just trying to scrape through because I don’t want to redo it all; any late dungeon advice for me? It’s too late to go back for some things (well I have a save from floor 75 but that’s it).
