Well, I completed the post-game.  The arena had some long battles, some of which can be solved with proper tactics, and some just by grinding.  Probably all of them can be won with better, more efficient tactics than I discovered, but I was satisfied to just emerge triumphant.  [EDIT] The class swap feature is vital to complete the arena, can ma…[Read more]

Well, I don’t remember if I needed to get anything unlocked.  The state of my game now is I can enter from the west, exit at the east, and just keep walking to the town destination Viera).

EDIT: in fact, I’m sure I didn’t need to do anything to unlock, at least anything external to the dungeon.  Make sure you see the signs in “autumn” (I think t…[Read more]

Ahhh…if you enter from the west, just keep going east (yes, the scene looks the same, but it isn’t)..about two tries should get you the east exit  🙂  Fun, right?

not sure if you saw my edits to the post–when a post is edited, does it automatically get sent to anybody who was on auto replay (even though they got the original post)?

I’ll backtrack and see, but first: note that there are two entrances to the forest, one in the west, and one in the east.  Have you tried both?  From with side are you entering?

You aren’t missing anything once you have the two treasures (at least nothing important that I recall).  Suppose you entered from the east, got the treasures.  If you…[Read more]

Lonely Isle has a puzzle dungeon–I started it but haven’t finished it yet (I’m doing some grinding in Mirror World).  It is a bit of a pain, and I wrote the developer about it (by the way, he is very responsive and has fixed the bugs I came across and provided some insights).  I don’t like the very frequent random encounters in the midst of a t…[Read more]

OK, good going.  I looked at my lev 47 file, and maybe my setup is different.

I have  Warrior, Blacksmith,Wizard, Medic

I put only the warrior in front row, everybody else in rear.

No, I don’t recall any big spells (actually, any at all after ‘steal’ at 40) coming after lev 40.

I didn’t use righteousness at all.  I didn’t have a problem, do…[Read more]

Arena is very tough, but interesting.  1 dungeon has tough puzzles, the other (Mirror World) great for EXP and gold.  If “elf town” is Niacia, then yes, in the post game you should go back (I think).  You answer some questions, according to your play style (no answer is wrong), and depending on what you answered, you will get one, and only on…[Read more]

Post-game arena is a killer, but extremely interesting, because the battles all require tricky/exotic tactics.  With just a few minutes in Mirror World you will get to max level (50) and be amassing gold to buy the best weapons and stat boosts (they cost a mountain of gold).  There are also some difficult puzzles (see Lonely Isle), but I haven’t p…[Read more]

OK, your picture confirms that “Mirror World” is not unlocked until the post-game.  It has the best place to get EXP (but by then you will be close to MAX anyway) and gold (which is extremely useful for buying stat boosts and best weapons at the arena).

Inside a house in Kari.  I don’t know if it is unlocked prior to the post-game.  I just got 17K experience from one easy battle.

If Mirror World is unlocked prior to post-game, it is even better.  I’m there now, and some easy monsters yield over 6000 EXP.

I think the best place to grind is that big island toward the bottom of the map almost in the center.  The Argo and the Deathstalker give more EXP than any other monsters in my enemies catalog.  Argo isn’t a problem, just be careful with the Deathstalker (instant kill).

Yes, I just defeated him this morning.  I don’t know if there is a trick to winning the battle.  I tried a few times at level 40 and failed, but then using a similar strategy but at level 47 I had no trouble winning.

I haven’t tried the arena yet (but I did find it), and I know there is another dungeon (lonely isle) and a subquest, but I h…[Read more]

If you mean the Platinum Medal:

“Proof one has defeated the 3rd Gen Crockpot on expert.”

Haha–I got by just by luck.  Good think I’m not too patient.  Afterwards I looked at your spoiler hint: very nice hint:)

Thanks.  I’m on the island, going through some dungeon, so far no boss.  I sailed to the island from the south and went into the cave, no problem.

I’m playing the game, but at the moment am stuck in the dungeon at Beralith.  I’ve opened all four rooms, but I don’t understand the hints.

“Well, what do we know about the puzzle?  We know that there are four arrows on the wall, and there are scratches that look like the numbers one through four.” (Me: I didn’t see any arrows on any wall, and n…[Read more]
