True, but she doesn't have mad skills like AMPUTATION.

Destor 07-15-2018 01:58 PM

Lol well that is a pretty brutal sounding skill

Ultra Mantis 07-15-2018 02:25 PM

Oh yeah, hardest hitting physical skill I've seen so far outside of Captures.

Destor 07-15-2018 03:04 PM

Well captures dont work on bosses so that auto kill isnt as useful as one would like

Ultra Mantis 07-15-2018 03:18 PM

I meant the summoning aspect of it, forgot what it's called though. I caught a strong variant of the sqirrelly thing from H'aanit's starting area and fully boosted up it did around 1600. Pretty nice.

I gotcha. Yeah the beasy summons are real powerful if charged/vunerable/weakness etc is in play. Makes H'aanit a single target mage in a lot of ways.

Destor 07-15-2018 06:11 PM

Still dont have a full party btw. Doing back tracking as the sidequest are more open now...love how the side quests work btw

Ultra Mantis 07-15-2018 06:25 PM

I'm at 5/8 and saved in the dungeon before Tressa's boss, I do have the advantage of already doing all this once tbf. Also found a monster that gave me like 10 levels on my 3rd and 4th recruits all in one go.

Destor 07-15-2018 06:30 PM

Speaking of im doing a side quest. Used Cyrus to learn the location of a wild boar. Went into inventory (where the clues are kept...for some reason...) but i have no clue how to actually see where i need to go...

Ultra Mantis 07-15-2018 06:48 PM

Is there not a green map marker? Saw that quest but didn't follow up on it, using RPG logic I'd imagine it's in the place where Ghisarma was.

Destor 07-15-2018 06:55 PM

Solved it. I needed to tell him the location.

Huh how?

Destor 07-15-2018 07:32 PM

Once i got the info i just went back to him and spoke with him again. It gave me a prompt to tell him the info.

Destor 07-15-2018 09:15 PM

Therion ch.1

SPOILER: show
Recruiting Therion now. Good character but i cant think of a reason my party would want to help him, or why seconds after turning down help he would want mine...

Destor 07-15-2018 09:16 PM

First example of bad writing in the game though

Ruien 07-16-2018 11:18 AM

Picked up the huntress. Not sure I am a big fan of her beast lore ability but going to give it time to build on me. Will keep the merchant benched.

No idea who I will bench for the 6th person. Probably the warrior but hes such a badass for me.

Ruien 07-16-2018 11:18 AM

Huntress has a awesome story though. Favorites so far is the huntress and warrior story wise.

Destor 07-16-2018 11:23 AM

The beast skills allow you to have any weapon type in your party adding a lot of diversity

Ultra Mantis 07-16-2018 06:09 PM

Yeah Beast Lore is the most versatile command skill in the game, makes H'aanit valuable in any party because she can cover all weaknesses at no cost.

Exactly my problem with him. He's too much of a scumbag for the others to associate with, in fact some of them directly oppose somebody like Therion in their ch.1 story. He's introduced as a lone wolf, his story backs it up, yet he immediately joins up with whoever just strolled into town. His travel motive is also the lamest and he's just there in battles. I don't like stealing from all the nice townsfolk either, will totally steal if Inquire / Scrutinize shows them to be a dickhead but that's it. Ugh, Therion. I hope he gets better.

With a set story order you could rationalise him using Tressa to get into the mansion, say he steals her diary or whatever and bribes her into getting him in, fully embrace his dickishness. That's the only tenuous link I can imagine.

Destor 07-16-2018 06:43 PM

I love stealing lol

Ultra Mantis 07-16-2018 06:55 PM

I save my stealing for the metaverse.

Destor 07-16-2018 06:57 PM

I am both a phanom and a corporeal theif

But do you dig holes AND take souls?

Ultra Mantis 07-16-2018 08:16 PM

Get out.

Destor 07-16-2018 09:11 PM

Octopath is sold out basically everywhere. Reports saying it could be 2 months for restock. Likely just means digital sales will go up and the physicals will go unsold

Ruien 07-16-2018 10:11 PM

Damn that is insane.

Took up a side quest in S warkii where a lady said she wants to reunite with her husband in Bolderfall. So I took her with me using the guide thing and cant find her husband anywhere. Just keeping her hoping to run into her husbabd.

Ruien 07-16-2018 10:13 PM

Really glad the game is doing so well. Maybe companies will realize there is money to be had with these games.

Ultra Mantis 07-16-2018 10:15 PM

That is both great for the game and kind of ridiculous that Nintendo have understocked that badly again.

Just finished Olberic ch1, still cool as fuck. Just need to pick up Primrose and then I'm finally on to some new content haha. Saved the best openings for last though so it's all good. Ophilia is nearly maxed out in skills already, H'aanit isn't far behind but I had to sub her out for this chapter to get Alfyn's AXE caught up.

You have to do Therion's ch1 before he shows up.

SPOILER: show
He's where the two disgruntled merchants were talking.

im doing that one now. Im thinking it will open after i finish Therion. Most towns side quests dont open until you reload after the attached Traveler.

Still on Therion...i love his potential. Give SP + SP steal make him a syphon to keep Cyrus casting AoE death for days.

Ultra Mantis 07-16-2018 10:24 PM

Yeah if you unlock those two skills first he's probably a lot more useful out of the gate, I haven't found myself running low on SP so far though so I left them for last. Figure that larger dungeons in later chapters with less quick levelling are probably where he will really shine for sustain.

Destor 07-16-2018 10:27 PM

If you wanna spam his 22 sp skills early game youll def need those skills. Especially when hes low enough that hes gaining levels every other fight. Really abusable early. Think late game when his damage is enough that steal SP gives 30+ youll get a lot out of it

Destor 07-16-2018 10:50 PM

HOLY SHIT

Share SP go go over the characters MAX SP. So a full charge share ap will give double his total SP AND break the characters cap. Thats...broken.

Destor 07-16-2018 10:51 PM

Ohhhhh...but its only good for the battle. After that you revert to max sp, so good for bosses.

Destor 07-17-2018 12:02 AM

Just did my firdt save scamming. Had a 3% chance to nick a SP +80 accessory. Took 10 min but def worth it.

Ruien 07-17-2018 12:22 AM

Haha I am debating doing that. I quit for the night but I am sitting right there.

Ruien 07-17-2018 12:28 AM

Big fan of Therion's gameplay. His story is ehhhh. Love the stealing aspect. I may or may not make him my 4th. Cant replace my warrior since I choose him 1st. Scholar and cleric seem 100% needed. Will have to see what the next 2 characters bring to the table.

Maybe when I can subclass I can get rid of Ophilia. Not a fan of her extra ability in combat.
