Hello? (Library of Ruina "Grunts Only" Challenge - Part 48)
Yes, I actually lost to this realization 30 times. This is compared to Queen of Hatred who I lost to like 20-ish times?
There are a couple big roadblocks in this fight. The first one is that the first phase has to end in exactly three scenes or you will suffer multiple mass attacks in the same scene. Most resets were here, due to us not doing enough damage for Little Red to kill the wolf by himself. There were a couple resets just from bad luck with Roland's attacks; the best thing he could do is shoot on both scenes 1 and 3.
Next is Big and Might Be Bad Wolf. If you don't stagger him in one scene, you are guaranteed to lose a librarian. Building for this phase is really tough with these rules as the only pages that hit enough times for it are Moulinet and Feint. There is also no way to get strength aside from the prescripts since we have to not do anything the previous scene.
Mountain and Nosferatu are just time-wasters and don't cause too big of an issue.
Lastly, Nothing There is practically impossible to even damage using these rules. In the long run at the end I only deal positive damage one scene. The main strategy is to hope Dante's passive can turn one of his stagger resistances to normal and stagger him from there, as all the best pages to hurt him are unfortunately purples.
By the last run of this video, I had evolved my strategy a bit. Aside from Gebura, 3 of my employees had Remembrance to help with hurting Nothing There, while one guy had both Offensive Position and Madness to help him die so everyone else gets boosted. I almost never got fragile from Madness during this fight, which was cool and all, but this strat never really worked otherwise. The random +3 Strength on the Night Awl was really helpful though.
If you're wondering why the last attempt even gets as far as it did, I was getting tired of doing the fight so I just kept going with the first attempt that made it to the wolf.
Successful run will be tomorrow.
Rules for this challenge:
1. Only use unnamed key pages.
