Not really, maybe a half hour or less? It's mostly "Walk here" or "Kill Gigantaur/magic pot/tonberry" etc

having trouble on this mission, supposed to capture a Primal (or w/e they are called in this game) in a crystal, cant get the option to capture them.

:/


also, "1,000 needles" + full AP Barrage = pwnage.

It will pop up in your Surge options when the eidolon is around 5%, stand very close to it when using it.

It will pop up in your Surge options when the eidolon is around 5%, stand very close to it when using it.

Also, when you want to capture and don't have oracle items to change out your surge options, save the surge when they get around ~30%, so its up and not on cooldown. If you don't get encase, use a few skills, doesn't have to hit, stuff thats spamable like deflect or heavy guard work great to reset the surge options.

In regards to abilities, how does dual wield benefit you? Does it just add the off hand weapon's stats to them?

From what I've seen, it just seems to increase the ap you get back when doing normal hits, but I'm not 100% sure

Also, does anyone know if gigantuar needles are a breakable item or just a drop? Been trying to get one for an hour now and nothing :/

>_> Unlocked sam. Game = Easy mode now lol

breakable item? is there monster hunter type destroy parts mechanics going on here? also any one have a suggestion on how easier to damn... whats it called again when you convert an eildon to magicite? i had it fail 2x on shiva recently this was my first time trying to get one outside the initial quest think the first time she interupted me, second time i was right next to her but it used up my surge the second time and was unable to do it again... she was so low my monster helper finished her off before i managed to get encase back again.

Yeah, you can target specific parts and break them. Supposed to give other drops supposedly, though, if you're melee, you can really only hit 1 or 2 spots lol Most are the head or something up high

A few posts up theres a suggestion on an easier way to do it. Using Oracle item to recycle surge options or spamming a few skills, doesn't have to hit to recycle surge too. If you can, find an instant cooldown skill, like heavy guard or deflect, do those a few times and it recycles them.

I think anything targetable on an eidolon is breakable? Ifrit's hands, Odin's head or tail, etc.

Yeah, I find Amaterasu, Alexander and Odin the easiest to break things as SAM. Alexander is the easiest, as you can break both of his front feet/legs/things very quickly

Though, Alexander can repair his legs. Omega's pretty easy to break all four legs.

Apparently, scythes just use axe skills, which is kinda disappointing.

I seem to do more damage with a sword than aze on Dark Knight. Unless Scythe changes a lot, I'm not sure about using one. I have tried Blood Axe (dmg 90) vs Buster Sword (upgraded to dmg 95 atm) and the sword does A LOT better damage.

I'm waiting for a design of Sword that fits in with the DRK look but atm, Buster looks best. >.>

EDIT: Actually, Brave Blade looks nice, has an Alternis Dim thing going on on DRK. Anything but that damn Buster Sword.

Well, the thing with axes is that you get berserk and can drain hp / get regen with a few, which increases your survivability on drk. Also, annihilator swings quite a few times, especially with berserk up.

Calamity does a ton of dmg too.

So, finally caught some friends up to me (7*), so far it's not too bad, except that Leviathan, omg. 7k a hit and couldn't avoid sweep.

So, I decided I'd try coming as a tank, since it seems to be getting harder to just DD our way through the game lol Now the question is, which is the better tank? Knight or pld? I tried pld out once before and even with all the malice+ skills / gear, I still couldn't keep hate off of the rest of the pt. Is there some trick or just keep spamming and hope it goes for you?


Also, anyone try out geo yet?

I swear, fighting Ramuh must be what it felt like to be Manny Pacquiao fighting Floyd Mayweather. I spend the whole fight chasing him.

Welp, think I'm done with explorers for a bit >_> These "Triple dmg/hp" quests want to make me throw my 3ds out the window lol

Tried the h2h one, got Ifrit to 1%, so low you can't even see his hp, used up all my revives because other bs I couldn't avoid/counter wasn't up. Go in for the final hit, he decides to insta jump up as I'm in the middle of a skill and before I can counter, he drops down and I die...

No clue how these are supposed to be done online, seeing as with 1 more person, the difficulty doubles. As in, can easily solo an abberant in under 2 mins offline. Can die a few times or take 20 mins online with one other person.

If you are still rocking axes, try getting a few re-raise on your Vortex. I have cheesed out a lot of missions by just keeping re-raise up on myself and chipping away the boss.

I was encasing to get Terra earlier, random 16k on Alexander as Knight. I use Brave Blade, Earth Shield, full Knight AF and the best THF Anklet I've gotten so far. The hit was non critical and I really never break 10k.

EDIT: All that equipment is fully upgraded with +8 STR on Brave Blade and HP+ on every piece of armor.
