Vagrant Story - Spears Only Minimalist Run - Part 10: In Which Ashley Conquers the Snowfly Forest
HP Cutoff: 38 (must not go below this number)
See Part 1 for run rules: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f31xB4mwLlM
I demonstrate here how to map complete the Snowfly Forest without accidentally stumbling back into Snowfly A, or running into the Fire Elemental twice. Just make sure to use the in-game map to watch your borders. Read the write-up in Part 9 for more details.
10:04 The Grissom fight here is a real challenge without a shield. If the Dark Crusader hits you right before Grissom casts Thunderburst Level 2, it will do more than 250 damage, violating my run. I experimented with a method of killing the Crusader first, and then using Tarnish (which he drops) to wear down Grissom's defense. It could work, but it would need to be done on a run with a shield to carry your Djinn Amber.
Under my current run conditions, my only hope is to burn Grissom down as fast as possible. This was the reason for building the Edged/Earth weapon on the Icthious enemies in this area. I cast Invigorate on myself, and let Sydney cast Prostasia. I also stay close to Grissom, which generally reduces his chances to cast Thunderburst because he doesn't want to hit himself, much like Duane.
In some runs I grab the Demonia in the chest on this battlefield to help with the Dark Crusader, but in this case the Djinn Amber on my Stormy Nail is my best offensive option, so I just rely on it. Once Grissom is gone there's no real threat here.
