First off, I went and bought a third Hermes Sandals for 5000 pg, more than half of total spent until then. Not exactly cheap, but very well worth it.

After that is done, there are a bunch of forced battles with single Black Blade members. Black Pikemen are actually quite deadly with their counters, unless I would waste some items, so I reset whenever they showed up. Other guys have better steals anyway.

Then the worst battle as of yet: Qada. This guys Regen is just nuts. I used the Valkyries Spirit Barrier to survive quite well and topped up using X-Potions to survive his normal attacks, but since both my Thief and Time Mage were just short of 1000 HP and had no access to Spirit Barrier, they died quite a lot. Also, I did wait to max BP before starting my onslaught because of his Dark Breath. If I redo this,

I will make sure both have Spirit Barrier. Even if surviving, it is quite item-intensive to whittle him down with his Regen active: I used a total of 62 large Attack Items against him. I should have bought some Rod of Fire for extra damage, really..

With Salve-Maker available, that opens some new possibilities to get those attack items. With those, Praline is pretty easy. In hindsight, I could probably have killed her faster using Rod of Fire + Fire weak + some other timing, but she went down in so few tries I didn't think that far ahaed. Anyway, the exp and JP difference from it should be negligible.

And as I leveled Salve-Maker to 4 on Praline and thus got Attack Item Amp, Chaugmar falls in a single turn. His innate lightning weakness bundled with a bunch of Ogre's Clubs and Lambent Hats as well as before mentioned passive just overpowers him. I actually reset 2 times due to unlucky speed variance and thus managed Unscathed to boot.

After Chaugmar is gone, Chapter 3 continues with Kikyo. The Ninja job is the final piece to Utsusemi strategies I am missing yet, and I am running pretty low on attack items. I only need to face one more boss after her to level Utsusemi, though, yet I kind of like using weaknesses. Imbuing a weakness is outperforming turn-wise if one just manages to throw two items on her afterwards, so it tends to be quite

a good boost. I also used Staffs this time around and went pretty slow because Shippûjinrai has turn order priority. The Staff Special was set up to Revive and Heal, and I would have used it before using Decimate to make sure everyone is alive and well though it never filled because healing did not happen.

And with Ninja, I go off to Barbarossa to get it to Job Level 4. With this much speed in addition to his Lightning weakness, he never got to move. Not much to say about this one!

Kamiizumi afterwards is a little more complex. I am finally off from Item usage and going for strategies, Utsusemi this time. He mainly counters, so it is an absolute neccessity to have Utsusemi on attackers. Because I wanted to Examine him, Agnes, who is a Time Mage either way, did not get Utsusemi and mainly Defaulted. Also, to minimize Risk, I had my Valkyries use Judgment, which uses 3 BP for 3x damage. Their Soul Mates also came in handy, buffing P.Atk on friendly death. Agnes used some weak Attack Items when she went to 3 BP, which can not be countered. Ringabel just attacked and kept his Utsusemi for some damage.

The Behemoth after was going similar in regards to Utsusemi use. His Lightning weakness is nice to factor in using Spear Lore, Two Handed and the Trident. Agnes died again because she would not deal substantial damage being a Time Mage and I like Examining enemies I meet for the first time. This battle finally concludes chapter 3!
