was already fixed. Not sure what version it was fixed but you can’t do it anymore. Would still be possible with Top but requires RNG on moves he uses on you to be always not effective. You either need 3rd party program like cheatengine to help or New Game+ with better equips/pots.

Underwear #24 is Christmas Event, just temporary change your device date into Dec. 10~31 (last year) and check Liam in Tavern at night. Must also have max affinity with the twins.
Sniffet you are looking for is located at the King's statue at evening. Rulius might be blocking the path in the evening. You might need to go around General Grant's room.
Scrolls are not essential. You can get away with 73 Virility 315hp (Chopping Blade + King Set) and x6 160hp stew from Feasterra Pot. tho better gears/stew would give you allowance for failure like missing/picking a wrong move or two. 100% stew (Valdo's Kitchen) would remove all hp inflicted on your character so if you have the materials get some of them.
Regen scrolls tho would give more advantage on longer duels as you get a lot of hp advantage out of that. others are quite situational and personal preference on which stuff they want to optimize for farming and stuff.

you don't even need the very best gears. Play smart. Grant X and secret side quests are one time encounter that would force you to use consumables. Grant X is doable with Chopping Blade + King Set + 6 160hp stew from feasterra. DCursed need Dragon Sword + King set + 5 100%hp stew. and yes consumables are broken cuz it basically multiply your effective hp by what stew are you using plus side effects of speed and virility + . You are not forced to do badass battle with them. Its your choice if want to. Those weighed against you mechanics are there for a reason. It adds layer of complexity and challenge on your side.
Do you realize how broken stew consumables are?
I get it but keep in mind the game mechanic isn't perfect and won't please everyone. If they lower difficulty some would complain its too easy. The phasing of progression isn't that bad you just need to keep up with stats. And its not even that demanding with consumables. There is requirement issues with gears that yeah it requires some grinding and it can get monotonous and boring.
I would suggest abuse the savescum method. Meaning untick autosave and reload if you fail. That way you won't use consumables and assess the duel better and know what you need. Hell even use 3rd party memory editor to get you resources so you won't need to grind.
Your preference must be Versatile or Top. You can't beat it with Bottom as his moves are super effective and deal a lot of heat points.
Your Weapon must be Long Axe and Don't Touch set, and x6 +60hp tea on ur invo. (must have enough resources to repair Forge and buy Don't Touch CR).
Top could get away with x5 teas and Vers pretty much need x6. Would also require you to use a bug feature to use unlearned moves with number keys on keyboard.
