I actually ran past everything after that and found the Fairy Ring. ... But I can't use it to get back? So I need to use the Void Shard to activate it, I guess? Lemme see...
Ooh, Perilous Punch~! How fun! :rofl:
But it should be cheaper once I beat the boss? So maybe I'll hold off.
Really needed that Healing Bucket. But it doesn't cure Poison? Well, I have the robe for that, but still?
Should the latter two Shooting Stars Bestiary descriptions have numbers in them?

Yeah!
Didn't notice the first time I took the Ring out of the Astral Plain, but doing it when Vantus is in the party, means that there's 2 Vantus-es visible in the Web. Also, that bug lets me take Vantus out of the Astral / Web? ... Lol on Overworld, BIG Vantus when compared to Brill!
Is the Return Portal to the Astral Plain unlocked after beating the boss of the area?
Also, the Silver Soldier in the Ruins for the Credits shouldn't be there anymore, since there's now more to the game?
Thanks (again?) for putting me in the credits!!
And went back to the Hidden Forge! Ooh, that Double Dragonstone is nice... I wonder when I can get the Dragonstone I didn't take. Probably after the Astral Plain?
Lol the girl in Daltah that wonders about the mine library. ... Did Brill just call Yg'Xel a stupid rock? LOL! I didn't even think he was that rock-like. He's so tentacular!~
Ah, yes. That would make sense. Y's employer is very rocky.
The first set of Ponderytes, they're not supposed to be refightable, right? In the second hotfix, they respawned, but at least now I can evade them. I think I fought them off the first time.
What. In Hotfix 3: There's something blocking the ladder out of the Astral Plain's first farm area? And it doesn't seem tied to the enemies in the area? ... At least the fights are making me a slight profit in raw Sil even after accounting for the cost of reapplication of Anti-fire.
And now I've beaten both pre-boss groups! Mainly was Friend Defender Defense and Regen-based. Vantus is a strong resource in a item conservation run! Elemental attacks, but gotta keep him alive!
Quiet Quitting! Wow! This is some inspired-by-modern dialogue~! Made me chuckle! Thumbs up!
The Bestiary really makes it clear just how bad a meal that guy's getting! Random numbers~! Ugh.
...
What's Counter Vector Analysis supposed to do? It seems like the user is just hurting themselves, while Brill just keeps punching.
I let Vantus fall again and now it's just Brill vs. ~1100 HP, where the only big damage is 30 HP from Gravity , which is basically healed off by Adrenaline.
And the battle's hired help isn't a concern at all, they're just making Pepperflask Counter useful by killing them for me. The second set is just annoying. With 5 Regen from adrenaline... And it hasn't even been 200 enemy turns yet? 1100 HP went to 497. Won't even lose half my Flasks from this.
EDIT: Equipment List: Gastronomicon, Revolutionary Helm, Mythril Thread Robe, Red Dragonstone, This Thing LV 3, Friend Defender, Master's Gift, Pepperevenge, Lucky Lass (Shoulda ditched this), Catch Up, Battle Brooch, Cryogem (Shoulda dropped too), Startforce (ditto), Restoration, Illusive Rune (Ditto Defense is high enough that Blocking's useless due to Electro), Defense Focus x2, Adrenaline x3, Attack Focus, Extra Edge... (Did the Attack and Defense focuses just cancel each other out? No, not quite.)
Yay for Reflect Fire! ... At somewhere around <100 HP, the boss seems to be permanently burnt? Its 1 turn of Burn isn't going away any more? ... Then I gotta take out the hired help too? Annoying, but okay.
It would be a lot harder if I hadn't dismantled the preparations, so much.
And I forgot what the tip was about Gravity, first I didn't use it because it seemed Vantus was being protected by Brill okay and doing good damage, then I was in a punching rhythm and Check said something about a gravity resistance.
...
The kids playing Vantus and Merc shouldn't appear before the Formas are saved, should they?
...
Not gonna mention how Brill found an unexpected element Eioldon?
The tip about Gravity was just "bring multiple Gravity potions" because that's how you disrupt one of the analyses; while it's not as powerful against Yg'Xel, it can be used multiple times against him.
Observe Attack Vectors should be giving Yg'Xel Analysis points when he's hit, but I just realized he didn't even get the Analysis state that runs everything! I thought for sure he had it.
I'll go ahead and release a patch with this and the NPCs fixed.
