Hi. Thank you for playing and enjoying the game. If I remember correctly, this boss you are talking about is the Black Knight (or Death Knight, Dark Knight maybe). Could you tell me which difficulty you are playing? I do not recommend Deathwish or Hard mode. The Deathwish is kinda troll mode (enemies are too strong), while Hard mode might require a very proper stats investment, and a lot of luck. About the Black Knight, you were right about him. This fight is partially based on luck, but there is still a strategy to deal with it. You can try adding more AGI than STR to your Treasure Hunter, so he will be able act more before the Black Knight's turn comes and make use of his DPS (Poison, Bleed) because these kinds of damage are based on enemy's max HP. Adding AGI also raises LUK points, which reduces the chance of being affected by negative states. Do not forget VIT for your team. It provides more HP and DEF so you can be more durable.

Hello! Thank you for replying! I'm playing on Normal mode. I was finally able to beat him, you're right -- I just got lucky the fourth time around. Regardless, though, your advice on how Poison and Bleed works is really useful, I'll definitely keep it in mind as I continue to play! I'm really enjoying it, it's so clear how much work and love went into making the game. Thank you so much for making it :D
I do! Haha. I'm so sorry and also thank you :D
I wish there was a way to tag spoilers. Uh, spoilers ahead for anyone reading!
After beating the M Wolf and Ethan confronting Ryan on his own, after he unleashes a power I've not seen before, the screen freezes and I can't move forward. This has happened twice at the same place. Can you advise?
(I've uploaded the screenshot to imgur just because I don't want to spoil things, but the cursor goes off and does its own thing: https://imgur.com/6BwcZAC )
*Edit: I figured out what needed to happen to progress; I turned Ethan's sword on himself and that did the trick :D
Hi,
I am truly sorry for the inconvenience you have experienced. Some players also reported this issue before. At the cutscene, after using the ultimate power on Ryan, Ethan should be defeated automatically (as you can see each hit also hurt himself). He should not be left alive with 1 HP. In this case, please try getting one more level and put more point to his VIT or STR, making his HP becomes xxxy, or xxy (with the last digit y higher than 5, like 1506, or 967) before going into this cutscene.
Technically, this issue is caused by the damage formula, which takes 10% of Ethan's Max HP per hit (10 hits total), but it is rounded. Following by this xxxy HP formula I mentioned above, if Ethan's HP is 951 (with y = 1 < 5), the damage per hit is 95,1 and it will be rounded down to 95. After 10 hits, he will have 1 HP left and the cutscene is broken. But if his HP is 956 (with y = 6 >5), the damage per hit is 95.6 and it will be rounded up to 96, and he will definitely be defeated.
I can make another patch about this, but it is kinda dangerous to your save files, because i have not touched this game files for years (I have been busy developing the sequel of this game), so there is no guarantee that the new patch will not cause new issues, which might corrupt your current save files.
Ahh, no worries! I found a way around it, I just had Ethan use his own sword on himself to lower his HP before that attack happened. In this case it worked a charm! Perhaps I was just lucky. So no worries about the patch but I am very grateful for the offer, I realise the game's been out awhile so I'm just happy you're responding to questions!
Just a note, I used the inn in the Cindalia City and woke up in Seashore Port. Was that supposed to happen :C
Thank you thank you thank you
I have just noticed when you say that. Now this is important so please keep it in mind. DO NOT use the Inn in Cindalia City to rest during the invasion of the Wild Beasts, or you will get stuck in that event. Or for the best, just do not use it until you arrive on another city. And please prepare more than one save files in different moments, in case something bad happens (especially in Cindalia City during the invasion). Sorry for this bad issue and thank you for your understanding.
