Klinsy’s quest for this damn goofy game. Ice arm I used for the thumbnail does not even work, and is 1 ally as opposed to the party in the description. It didn’t change her fire attack (an ice blade equip or whatever didn’t neither), and ya gotta spam revenge specials for Rob (so use those HP and attack/revenge mindsets, especially for Stoj, who is weak and can only heal/support otherwise).
Surprisingly, fire wall and levitation work for the ground and fire attacks, but you gotta overcome his reinforcements and magma shower healing (which isn’t fair).
Treasure mimic tentacle mixer, Daryl Lion, and Regenerating Rob Lava are frustrating (Weird the other 2 have ordinary names even when I add some stuff to it. The difficulty does not work properly as this was on “very very easy” which is the lowest, and is impossible if under level 20.
The puzzles also screw with the interface, from being blocky to throwing things on screen or making it colorblind. Neville's vision helps, as does recording after pausing to memorize and cheat. You do more damage at higher levels, so it gets much better when it doesn't drag.
This is a very frustrating, poorly tested game, but at least these chapters can be endured for a faster run (and different gameplay) than Romancing Saga 2’s tedious time skips. Sales definitely help them.
I did post on Al here (better combat, lite crafting):
Just glad I can edit and get within a short. Lowering defense and buffing attack may help too, as higher levels give more capacity with mindsets, and let you not run out as fast. You also get more experience with combination moves and revenge magic ending battles.
