EOIII Questions thread

[scy]

To be perfectly honest, nobody really knows how the Gold FoEs work. They can spawn on any floor and I've seen them at various hours. I'm really not sure what controls their spawn. I've done thousands of samples of spawning them and never got anything consistent.

[Derp]

Hey, thank you very much for you previous help

Got 2 more questions, maybe somebody can help me

Concerning the last floor's FOEs
[spoiler]those moving foes... how do i catch them? they always seem to run to a corner where i can't pincer them.[/spoiler]

Concerning the monstrous codex
[spoiler]I'm missing two non-event and non-boss entries. If someone could get his/her DS out and have a quick look, that would be really great. It's two adjacent entries between the 5th and 6th stratum. you can reach the point in the list when you press right on the d-pad 7 times.

Volt Cat
Miasma Bud
???
???
Pandora Egg
Cursed Shroom

And also at the end of the normal enemies list.

Tri-Pumpkin
Longicorn Beta
???
???
Pasaran
Pasaran
Gold Pasaran
???
Blue Pasaran

Would be really great if someone could actually tell me what those missing entries are and where to find them. Thank you so much in advance![/spoiler]

There's not much to do to really speed up leveling before the post-game. 5th Stratum gives you Blue Pasarans, though, so you can do the Red Pasaran grinding "trick" with them, though I find catching the 5th Stratum ones to be more effort than it's worth.

There's also the [hide]Scylla[/hide] exploit, assuming you've found Aeaea. It's not terribly fast (28000 EXP per fight for one character at a time) but it's effortless.

Red Pasaran grinding trick:
[spoiler]Set-up: Massive amount of buffs (Fore Honor, Attack Order, etc.) and ideally the ability to nearly one-shot a Red Pasaran. Bloodstained Spear helps a lot. You'll also want a Shogun _without_ Swashbuckling; it's not pivotal but it makes it far more mangeable without all those extra hits. That Shogun will also need one Ice-forged weapon and one Fire-forged weapon.

Basically, turn one you attack with the Shogun and spawn two more Pasarans: A Blue one (from the Ice weapon) and a Red one (from the Fire weapon). You need to do this _every_ turn as you'll be killing one Red per turn and one Blue will self-destruct per turn (typically).

Once you have that set-up, you merely ... kill the Red Pasarans as they spawn but before they escape. After 17, the EXP caps so you just finish the fight and repeat the process.[/spoiler]

[hide]Scylla[/hide] exploit
[spoiler]Save and then soft-reset. Choose the first fight against Scylla (1x Wilding, 1x YourCharacter; the quest is titled "For a Mutated Girl") and do not Save. It's not critical that you don't Save but it helps you know which step you're on.

1st Turn: Escape, Wildling summons Tiger and insta-kills Scylla.

Rinse, repeat.[/spoiler]

Hmm....For leveling up, honestly all you can do is set up an auto path to walk circles and auto a bunch of fights. There isn't much of a quick leveling trick. The only things I can think of is if you also had a farmer in your party with max earths bounty/natures blessing (can't remember the skill name) but that only gives you bonus exp of 30%. So your best bet is just auto path, auto fights, and find something to watch on tv. I used invader zim.

The sea quests I could use a faq for as well.

I don't know about Farmers but I do setup a circle walk in an area where I can one round kill all enemies, watch a good movie and hit the auto button as needed.

Thanks for the response guys!
One more question:
How do I beat the black pirate ships on the sea?
My cannon doesn't hurt them at all...

Post-game Boss

[spoiler]So just how many tentacles are there from the Abyssal God? I already tried fighting it before then and it ended in failure ..xD the massive healing and not knowing the patterns to watch out for didn't help either. Though the first part of the boss fight was pretty easy..glad I trained an anti-element user for all the elements.

But I'm curious how weakened, if at all... it might get after taking down all the tentacles before fighting it again.[/spoiler]
