I don't really like playing with berserk, feels kinda like "skipping" the intended progression. Plus playing with the possibility that a stray ranged attack might send me back to reload at any moment is kinda stressful.

fair enough. I was definitely skipping some phases on the optional bosses, notably the tower one didn't get to do black hole on the attempt that killed him.
I'm playing dragons dogma right now. I bought the DLC because I love keizo. I will replay when I forget more of the story I want the ride again so bad.
Play Magicus, a game by the same dude.
If you need some motivation (Magcus spoiler ahead) It might be a preview for what's about to happen to the Astlibra planet.
While it wasn't Astlibra, it was interesting in it's own right, and you could definitely feel that it was a Keizo game (seemingly simple but with a surprising amount of depth, and that story/normal end holy shit). Also the game happens in the Astlibra universe as one of the bosses (Lucifer) is a friend of Astrea and Al-Khemis .
What the hell is this puzzle, I accidentally brute forced it.
I can upslash and jump over the lever in the next room, but that doesn't feel like the intended solution either.
know when to block, when to magic i frame, and when to back step to dodge attacks. This should be obvious but make sure you farm the drops to buy every piece of equipment from each area and master them all for more magic gems and new abilities, as well as getting the exp and force from that farming
that was beautiful. i feel like i'm so much worse with berserk on - but it's way more bullet hell like in this area. infi tanks, flying mechs raining down bullets, those spider mechs that drop mines. i'll go back for some aggro karon abilities, been rockin the god of war's sword with 400 agility so i swing normally.
the tanks are buttholes since the tell for their shot is them changing to a slightly lighter shade of green for a bit. Also their melee attack with the small white puffs on the ground looks like a moving animation so it takes a bit to realize what's hitting you.
Ravens are typically larger. Larger beaks, wingspan, tails, etc. Beak shape is slightly different too. Crows are also social birds and ravens are more solitary.
The way he's draw is kind of in between so its difficult to actually tell so really its ambiguous. He does call himself a crow though.
they need to stop throw millions of enemies when you have just entered the stage. it's fricking tiresome. At least make them not to attack you immediately.

She's literally a ghost though, with her real body being on that island
You know it would have been really funny if Kuro's seashell bikini just suddenly disappeared while at the inn room.
Just absolutely hilarious. Priceless, even.
There's no NTR, but for some reason there's just a random dream out of fricking nowhere that plays exactly like an NTR doujin. It has no real foundation (the girl in reality doesn't know that guy, isn't particularly interested in that guy, and the premise of that dream is proven impossible immediately after it ends; and the guy himself also happens to already have a girlfriend he's fighting for) and it's not brought up again after.
It's just a super wierd NTR scene out of nowhere that doesn't actually happen. Best explanation for it is that MC gets paranoid of the new recruit for a second and starts imagining things, or possibly that the baddie is somehow trying to infuse those dreams to break MC's trust of the new guy because he's necessary to advance the plot.

Man what a letdown, I was so hyped.
I finished the main story - is it worth doing the postgame with the black tentacles?
Do you mean postscript or the second half of the DLC after you get the first ending? Because postscript is a continuation of the main story, it's not really an actual postgame
>>zero new enemies
There's one (1). >timeshotabot does frickall
This I don't get, Kai's role here makes no sense. For that matter it also makes no sense when he shows up in postscript chapter 5 of the main game and tells you he doesn't have time to help kill demons. >I finished the main story - is it worth doing the postgame with the black tentacles?
You legitimately did not beat the game
Didn't he show up in Chapter 5 of the main story, not postscript? I always assumed that he eventually realized killing demons is pointless unless you destroy the Anubis system or have access to the OP ruin soldier army.

lol
lmao
Obviously meant the main story of the DLC you fricking nerds. I stopped right at the time the baker's daughter wakes up and the same black squigglies that were in the main game appear again.
It's still more of the same but the final boss is new. Story takes place after the main game's true ending. If you don't care story spoilers below You make a deal with Lieselotte to help her friend, in exchange she'll fulfill the Baker's daughters deepest wish. Queue 10 more hours of dungeon crawling, but along the way you meet a mysterious old samurai guy. Eventually you meet the guy you're supposed to help who's the god Al-Khamis (laser dragon) who wants to bring Astraea back to life after she sacrificed herself at the end of the main story by fighting the old samurai guy who's the god of life and death. You beat him and Astraea comes back to life and sleeps with Al-Khamis (in the literal sense since he's a massive tsundere for her). Baker's daughter's ends up meeting Anulis and joining up with the Guild which is what her wish was about. Also there's a sequel bait hook at the end about an even bigger threat (somehow) than Geas
>never figured out how to dodge the laser beam that the DLC's final boss fires at the start of the battle >just slotted in a level 1 spell and spammed it to abuse iframes
I'm going to be honest I've had enough of the final stretch of DLC arena bosses and cheesed all of them with berserk/max attack power and the double crossbow.
In the DLC what do I do with the gem I got from the armor that's too big for baker's breasts? It's been a while since I've played the main game and I don't remember what the gem was.
You forge the strongest sword from the mini rest stop house in the final stratum. It's not actually the strongest sword since sword energy doesn't work with it for some reason. The actual best weapon for melee chads is the oni club with sword energy and gunhammer, since it hits like 5x per swing which fills up a ton of the spell gauge while dealing a lot of damage if you're specced for it.
So what's the best way to use the scales? I get that I wanna keep both sides balanced as much as possible to get the full effects. Also what's the variance allowed between karma before one side starts tipping? Cause I threw on two items that were maybe like an 15 point difference or something in karma and it ended up tipping all the way to one side anyways.
Even one unit of weight will cause the scalled to tip 10%, meaning both sides will only be 90% effective. I recomend not bothering with tweaking your scales if you currently have an odd number of pans, because banacing them is so much easier when you have an equal number of pans on each side. When you have all pans you can upgrade them for cash, which makes the weakest tier white passives into giga tier ultra passives.
ST gain rate is priority.
Try to get a bunch of nice boosts at 100% balance, but you dont have to get the absolute best balance at any given time. You can just add your best looking boosts, and then add some not-so-ideal items into the last few pans, just looking to have the scales as balanced. Getting the absolute best choices you can find is only really worth it once you have all 10 pans
(i still spent an autistic ammoun of time balancing along the whole game)
Are the gunpowder weapons in the main game actually useful?
They just seemed super expensive, by the time i arrived at the final dungeon i only had 20~ from random drops. Every enemy that i felt like i could afford to cheese with ranged was fine enough for arrows.
How badly did i miss out?
There's a large stretch of time where you don't get any pans. Around that depth enemies start doing obscene amounts of damage so I suggest investing into defense/hp. I basically used heavy warrior with defense scaling boards most of the time.
Is this some cuckshit? I was about to buy the game but if this turns into cuckshit halfway through i rather not.
No NTR, you will get your happy ending if you try hard enough.
>No NTR, you will get your happy ending if you try hard enough
Does that mean that heroine has another guy she is into but if you do whatever you end up with her?
Do I need the DLC? I bought the game long time ago but now realized it has a NEW DLC
Nah, DLC is a different story.
The underwater section in chapter 4 is gay as frick, I move like molasses.
adapt
Have you tried investing in the swimming stat?
I hate these buttholes like you wouldn't believe
You think those are bad, wait for the red ones that latch onto you and inflict bleed.
I just got to them. just slaughter them with berserk lmao
purple ones suck because you can't do that to them
I don't really like playing with berserk, feels kinda like "skipping" the intended progression. Plus playing with the possibility that a stray ranged attack might send me back to reload at any moment is kinda stressful.

this b***h alone filtered me in stratum 11. beat all the arena gods but cant proceed story due to this homie

>Finished the main game for the second time

What do I do now?
Now you get to enjoy the feeling of emptiness and loss that comes with finishing games like this.
Play Magicus, a game by the same dude.
If you need some motivation (Magcus spoiler ahead)
It might be a preview for what's about to happen to the Astlibra planet.
Isn't that the phone only one?
Yes

Ooooh, so that's where those characters in Belkade came from!
What the hell is this puzzle, I accidentally brute forced it.
I can upslash and jump over the lever in the next room, but that doesn't feel like the intended solution either.
you have the plate in the previous room that had the 4 card suits
you can set the orbs to red or black
you can figure this out I believe in you
Thought the orb turned blue, but yeah that makes sense
This man is your friend, he fights for faithful translations
guys i'm getting my ass beat in chapter 8. any advice?
i beat the god of war out of the secret bosses and that's it
also i'm on hard. there a process involved getting good?
know when to block, when to magic i frame, and when to back step to dodge attacks. This should be obvious but make sure you farm the drops to buy every piece of equipment from each area and master them all for more magic gems and new abilities, as well as getting the exp and force from that farming

Is this game actually good?
i was skeptical at first but the story has been an unexpected wild ride and the game play loop is fun as hell
i'd recommend grabbing the demo and trying it out at least
>game play loop
kys
Absolutely. One of those games where you start playing not expecting much and it gets you completely hooked and rushing in for more.
Is Karon actually a crow or a raven? I have no idea how to tell them apart.
Ravens are typically larger. Larger beaks, wingspan, tails, etc. Beak shape is slightly different too. Crows are also social birds and ravens are more solitary.
The way he's draw is kind of in between so its difficult to actually tell so really its ambiguous. He does call himself a crow though.
>He does call himself a crow though.
seething at the dlc ending. what a waste of cool design but jobbed at the old man
go back to bed al-khamis
His dragon gf coming back is all he cares about
>tags: size difference, gentle femdom
>headcrab crabs your head
>block when it bites down
>smack it off
it just werkz
I'm a little upset that the game made be do this and the reward isn't terrible.
they need to stop throw millions of enemies when you have just entered the stage. it's fricking tiresome. At least make them not to attack you immediately.
Yeah that's why Cicada Shell is a required skill to keep on always.

Aaaaand just lost like 40 minutes of gameplay.
Beat chapter 4.
Where did that underwear come from?
The pure white garment? You go and get it straight from her, how is this ambiguous.
She's literally a ghost though, with her real body being on that island
That's why its glowing so brilliantly, its that pure
Don't you also get gunpowder from her for making bombs
You know it would have been really funny if Kuro's seashell bikini just suddenly disappeared while at the inn room.
Just absolutely hilarious. Priceless, even.
Why did Anulis exist when MC could have just sexed Kuro? Hack writing
>Zeus magic is cool as frick
>"Evolves" into a shittier magic
What did Keizo mean by this?
This kills the hero.
>Already found it hard af throughout the game to get as invested into Anulis as I was on Kuro and Shiro.
>Adds this dream in.
Is Keizo just determined to make me not want Anulis?
Is this some cuckshit? I was about to buy the game but if this turns into cuckshit halfway through i rather not.
IIRC the MC has a nightmare where his oneitis falls for someone else. It's all a dream though, nothing of the sort happens IRL.
There's no NTR, but for some reason there's just a random dream out of fricking nowhere that plays exactly like an NTR doujin. It has no real foundation (the girl in reality doesn't know that guy, isn't particularly interested in that guy, and the premise of that dream is proven impossible immediately after it ends; and the guy himself also happens to already have a girlfriend he's fighting for) and it's not brought up again after.

Best explanation for it is that MC gets paranoid of the new recruit for a second and starts imagining things, or possibly that the baddie is somehow trying to infuse those dreams to break MC's trust of the new guy because he's necessary to advance the plot.
I think I'm close to finishing Gaiden
What do you even do with the armor you get from defeating Anulis(?) in the castle's dungeon?
Remember where you bought the armor from in the base game?
uuuuuuuuuuuuuh mokyun?
You traded a gem for the armor at the bakery...
Oooooh shidd it's that one armor sorry anon I have alzheimers
>take kirihide and air tackle
>backstep then jump and air tackle like doubles the I-frames
>lets you air tackle while invincible
>the insane amount of hitstop in the game extends the invincibility even more
>air tackle gives a ton of ST to spam summons for more invincibility
>just keep looping this to shit out damage and never get hit
Kinda nuts
>Handgun consumes gunpowder
>When i can just use magic boomerangs for free with ninja
They should have made a gunner/ranger class that lets you use the other ranged weapons without ammo. The skill cooldown can be longer to balance it.
>entire DLC is just the mediocre end-game with a few mini-games, after teasing you with adventure at the very start

Anon, the "post-game" is literally the last third of the game. The DLC you just played takes place during it.
I fricking hate farming love.

can trade the gem with 20 stratum10(?) slime drop for a weapon iirc forgot if its from piggy or townshop

I've been stuck on DLC stratum 8 halfway for hours now. Frick this.
Why am I not getting new scale pans? I haven't gotten any for strata 7-8.
There's a large stretch of time where you don't get any pans. Around that depth enemies start doing obscene amounts of damage so I suggest investing into defense/hp. I basically used heavy warrior with defense scaling boards most of the time.

Does that mean that heroine has another guy she is into but if you do whatever you end up with her?
There is absolutely no NTR elements at all.
Okay, good. Ill check it out. Switch or steam? Is there a graphical difference?
>n that heroine has another guy she is into
Only in the MC's schizo dreams.
The heroine wants (you) so much it nearly causes an apocalypse
