White Knight Chronicles 2 - Vellgander Upper Apex Solo with NPCs, A-Rank + Madoras & Wizel Code - HD
I managed to get an A-Rank in Vellgander Upper Apex with my companions. Yulie was a mage set to Go All Out, Leonard a bow set to Heal First, both were wearing GR26 light equipment. During the whole fight, I focused on Madoras and ignored the crystals. My priority was to Dark Shot and Mollify him while keeping Fate Favor on myself, Leonard and Yulie (in this order). Although Leonard was the healer, he sometimes attacked, that's why I cast mollify, and i could myself decide to attack when there was no one to heal. However my priority was to keep Leonard alive. I also gave my NPCs MP so Leo would focus on healing/reviving (or attacking) rather than restoring MP. When Madoras went low on HP, he landed, spammed powerful moves and cast his barrier. I knighted up immediately to break it, then stayed away, leaving my NPCs deal the damage, otherwise he would focus on me and revert me to human form. Staying knighted up had the advantage that I could break his barrier a second time. I also threw all my MP and HP potions to my NPCs (I could restock later).
When Mad transformed, I used Fate Favor and started restocking and healing my NPCs. That's where I lost a lot of time because while I was browsing the menus, my companions were occasionally shooting the Crystals rather than Madoras.
I was very lucky in the end, I got muted and couldn't cast Fate Favor, I panicked and just risked my life by shooting Madoras without any protection. Luckily I managed to kill him, but I missed the S-Rank by 2min30. Getting S is definitely possible with the current +15 gear.
PS : The Lifestone is very important because it revives you when you die. Without it, it's an instant Game Over (even if your companions are still alive).
