EOIII Rantage!

I hate Somnovores so much :|
It's mostly because of having to farm them for Formaldehyde X(
But Protect Order/Refresh Tactic is good for fighting them :D

[Liferake]

Yuna, You would be thinking of the Somnovores don't give formaldehyde, they give some generic item that grants you a cool weapon or something.

[Yoonah]

Oh crap, that's right o.o!

You can also do it without guard soles, but it requires a bit of timing and precision.

About 4:15 seconds in this video should be where you were stuck at, I made this back in November when I LP'd the game. 8:48 shows the solution w/o the guard sole.

Actually I got that after a few noobish escapes from running into the battles and running away. I'm in a room a little further ahead, wasting a tone of pole stones and multiple attempts. I don't like using guides and such though, and I'm sure I'll get it eventually. Thanks again

The only instance where Guard soles are allowed in the inventory :|

[Cross The Rubicon]

I actually cleared that section my first time around without gaurd soles, hell, I had no idea guard soles removed the speed penalty from mud/slush tiles. I only thought they nullified damage tiles.

as for the puzzle rooms with mortal hunters, I just brute forced my way through, they are total jokes.

[Liferake]

Yes and no about the mortal hunter being easy.

Yes, there are strategies that easily kill the Mortal Hunter, namely Sarutobi + Otori/Proboke. The other strategy is to bring Death Magatamas into the labyrinth with you and put them on before you face them, then re-equip you're other stuff once you're done.

No, they are not easy under the circumstance of pretty much any other case. Instant Death puts a huge damper on a team in a way that you're spending half your resources trying to revive and keep everyone alive and he murders the team since you can't deal enough damage back to kill him.

[Yoonah]

I try to solve the puzzles but eventually I get stuck in a corner and say "fuck it" and just muscle my way through >_>

I don't recall ever using Guard Soles either, so I probably puzzled my way through the first time and just defeated them on later occasions.
