i literally donāt even remember all the various onis down in that tunnel
hard tde speedrunās started again and will probably still be running by the time you wake up in the morning tomorrow
I just tuned in 3 hours later and heās still in the hospital? Just got Pixie.
Is he starting over each time he dies?
hmm, kin-ki, fuu-ki, ongyo-ki annnnnndā¦ fuck(-ki)
edit: sui-ki. knew it started with an āSā. grumble, grumbleā¦
I think I skipped those tunnel bosses by accident, accounts for the one magatama Iām missing in the second row
Well be sure you fetch it so you can get the ultimate void-all magatama!!
How do I actually fight them?? I just went through that dungeon with no bossfights
You have to explore most of the tunnels thoroughly, a lot of drops turn backs and map usage. I canāt remember which but one of them can be a challenge depending on your build and party. Some amusing dialogue too.
I thought you had to fight Ongyo-ki. Also yes definitely get all Magatama especially if you want optimal tools for TDE ending.
Theyāre kind of hidden away, like i think one or two of them are down pit traps. iād recommend a guide. Ongyo-ki wonāt appear until you kill the others.
be aware though that you have to complete Amala before you enter the bonus dungeon where the final magatama is, or else youāll get locked out of TDE
i think it looks more like the run failed disastrously
he hasnāt had the best luck with it
i never bother to get the null all magatama, fuck the block puzzle minigame
i dont like the block puzzle game either, i was never a sokoban fan and it goes on way longer than is fun or necessary. and you canāt even stop partway through and come back later WTF
yeah same on my first playthrough
i also did a ton of grinding in the final dungeon to get the top tier demons and fuse pierce around, all excessive
yeah why the f is that sokoban game so brutal
iā¦ thought it wasnāt that hardā¦?
then again i devour puzzle games so
Honestly if you could suspend it partway iād like it better. 20 Sokoban puzzles in a row, though, thatās brutal, man
in replaying this game im realizing how easy it is if you get Fog Breath on at least 2 of your demons. Dumping your foes AGI/EVA through the floor in one round is a real doozy and even if they use Dekunda it just takes another round and a few chakra drops to get back on top.
Also, luck is incredible. i have 20+ luck in my current play and iāve been getting healing/gemstone drops left and right. PROTIP: donāt bother to save bead chains/chakra pots for emergencies, sell 'em when you need cash and fuse yourself stronger demons with better skills instead. And donāt spend your gems on elementals/mitamas either, fuse 'em yourself!
Explain luck to me. I have 35 in it, all other points were in strength I think. Demon negotiation doesnāt seem easier. I maybe get a few more gem drops but thatās it. Critical hits and back attacks occur with the same frequency. It seems completely redundant unless iām missing something.
Doesnāt comport with my experience! Iāve def noticed more drops and more gems. Think I might be getting more macca too, though donāt quote me on that ā I have to check. Itās not like, a HUGE boost to your crit rate on its own, but Might seems to kick in way more often for me. Also, helps you avoid more Hama/mudo spells, and assuming it works like it does in 4, probably makes your own stick more often. (I have 200+ luck in that game and instadeath only seems to fail against demons who resist it. Also Iām LOADED down with healing items and spell stones)
Idk if it affects negotiations. I think youāre supposed to have negotiation skills on your other demons to back you up in this one, because demons seem to cut and run a lot more (get a demon with Detain and Gonnection, theyāre helpful). Itā¦ miiight affect the gifts demons give you? I got a Vi Incense off of my Makami the other day. THATS never happened before.
And I almost never get back attacked now, though I seem to get surprised (when they go first but without your defense being penalized) about as often.
Granted, it is a stat called āLUCKā so itās possible some of this is a placebo effect. Or maybe youāre just not very lucky 
I think maybe iām not noticing all the benefits of Luck because Nocturne gives you so many skills to stack. I remember that in the first couple of games it boosted your accuracy and evasion rates a lot, helped with negotiation etc. You can pretty much secure the same effects with your demon pals this time around. I do seem to have a ton of money, and I did get incenses from my demons so thatās pretty great.
Thanks for clearing that up.
After a couple more attempts and some grinding and specific fusing i walked all over Matador.
Thor went down easy on my first attempt so i seem to be doing something right.
