EDIT: Note for later: Pre-defeated Cybin near second Statue? And I can Sample inside the Estate? But what do I get?? … And that 4 Magnetite battle is sorta laggy. eh. But only the start up, and then it’s smooth. And I still didn’t need to change! heh. Thanks, Astra! … So many chests-ish in the Estate? How do I get them? heh. What’s with all those people I can’t talk to on the second floor? And Statues I can’t interact with either… Dragon Statues being plot-important! Cool! … Okay, the triple threat is tough. Dang Silencer…
Woah, it’s hard to see the way out of Brumar, it only lights up green when activated?? Is that supposed to happen?
And journal hasn’t updated after arriving in Brumar, but who else would look at it? heh.
Not sure I should be able to Raft around the guards and climb onto the drawbridge or whatever?
And if I fall in Brumar to the dual colors battle, I end up in the Landing with Astra. Useful but probably not intended… Still, I’ll use it. Lol I can even do the Challenges with her! Heeeee. Such a good friend! Annnd trying to return undoes the cutscene. Except that Astra’s facing herself. heh.
…
Love fun commentary with patch notes! “It’s been taking a break for centuries, we’ll cut it a little slack.” indeed!
…
Finally took down the Ebon Queen, and now just being hit by Catalytic Surges. No Lasers or Parries, just Surges. Strange. I’ll give you a full equip list: 173 Max HP, Genji Shell, White Crown (good, no dupe even though drop message popped), Mythril Thread Robe, Ring of Endurance, Double Dragonstone, Status Ward, Master’s Gift, Extra Edge, Mighty Signet, Time Heals All, Attack Focus x2, Defense Focus x8, Battle Brooch, Magic Toxin Filter (x2 lol), Catch Up, Restoration
And got both battles done! “That aren’t us” indeed! I was thinking of the Queen of Diamonds, yes, as another elemental-based Queen.
Wind room info explains a lot indeed.
Glad they took turns indeed!! Now to do Frosty Reception! Because it’s closer. Or is it? Gotta think with portals. Oh, shortcuts. Forgot about those too. Gonna only return to the orphanage once all are done. Efficiency! Ish.
Is Brumar finally open?? Or is it one of the other 3 areas I can speak to?? hmm. Oh, new cutscene! Nice!
And didn’t even need to change to handle my first bit of Red Ice! Although Astra isn’t doing so hot. pun intended.
Lol, owner of the house jokes! I wonder how good Astra is at singing…
And my first Purples. Thankfully not more numbering than the Reds I, otherwise I’ll really take a beating. Annd now I see why Astra’s got the skills she does. And thankfully had a Star Burst saved up to save me without needing to change my clothes! heh
Astra’s not cured by Battle End. Annoying, but she’ll probably be fine if I leave and come back? I’ll be callous and let her fall and see. Oh, well, yes, leaving and coming back works.
Oh, got confused between detectives, gonna check out Dill, instead of Fremani… Lol have to go there anyway! … So many dialogue options! Fun!
And took the kindest option! Hope I don’t lose out on a Bestiary entry. heh. heh, I can leave through the right entrance but need to take the left. Heh. Robes. Statue keeps talking if I move up and down repeatedly, heh. …
Bestiary: Ebon King has a Reflective Mantle?? I don’t remember that…
Bestiary: Argent King doesn’t have a Light Volley, but Light Arrow Raid, Smite Arrows and Block… Eh. Volley, Raid, not a big diff heh
Serrature Entrance: Why do they think I’m here, > What do they think I’m here for, [? The original might work, I just can’t parse it, maybe.]
