Expedition 33 General: The First Gommage (Spoilers)

Fun Fact: Monoco is actually the dog of one of the devs.

Explains why he's so loyal and lovable (and furry)

Also in the prologue, there's a missable red version of the expedition outfit that kind of gives Daredevil vibes. You get it by doing a quest where you're supposed to give an outfit from a soon to be Gommaged Dad to his son. The son says that he thinks the outfit would better suit you.

The dad?

He's friggin blind!

Yo this not-Gilgamesh Dualiste guy is the coolest fucking shit.

Whaaaaaat

I talked to everyone in Lumiere, I thought. Where's this NPC located?

i have seen that once, in a shop menu from a specific gestral

i haven't had it happen anywhere else

Anyone else having some issues with the menu locking up when you scroll down and needing to exit and re-enter it to use it?

Deciding if I want to give NG+ a whirl, I'm thinking I will after the patch tomorrow.

We know they're nerfing Stendhal a bit and I expect Medalum will be fixed, for those unaware it's doing 400% damage instead 200%. So after the patch there might be some better Maelle weapons.

Anyway it took me 80 hours to 100% on normal and that's with taking my time and exploring every nook and cranny.

Not a shop menu, but i have had an occasional issue on the skill menu in combat where it doesn't properly displays the skills when switching sides

Slight spoiler for late act 2. The monolith dungeon is too fucking long. I have praised this game for not doing normal JRPG BS, but this is one of them right here

I wanted even more long dungeons like it tbh

Yeah, its made even worse if youre characters arent properly set up.

How much does Power on a weapon affect damage? I got a second weapon for Monoco. I much prefer the bonuses of his starting weapon, but it has 409 power versus his second one's 660. Second one has better scaling so that accounts for some of it, but no more than like 50.

Fixed Medalum third Lumina doubling all damage in Virtuose Stance instead of doubling only Burn damage.

Stendhal: Reduced damage by 40%.

RIP Stendhal one shots.

Pre-nerf vs post

Still not too shabby

Really, they should've given the super bosses some kind of in-built protection for this, like an inherent damage cap or multiple health bars that are damage gated. Or cap PP to 99,999 or even 999,999

Lame I want my one shot Maelle build back

333 million damage is enough to one shot the superboss how much more do you want

You know one thing that I love about this game and kinda proves how good it is, is that I haven't really seen any complaints about how Maelle becomes the main character after Act 1, aside from the obvious MC Gustave dying. I guess this is compromised a bit because the game does have a bit of Great Gatsby/FF12 syndrome where they kinda frame us as having Verso be the pseudo main character/person we see the story through for most of the game (via the camp) but I still think they did a fantastic job in that aspect.

Was going out for Mother's Day dinner when suddenly...

I just started playing today and got to the water area. I have no idea how the hell Im going to get good at parrying. Enemies do this Dark Souls delaying their attacks shit and then the game goes into slowmo which is fucking even more with my sense of timing.

1. Do the dodge method. Dodge until you get the timing of attacks. When you get perfect dodges, that means your parry could've worked then. Then start partying.
2. Listen to sound cues. A lot of times, there's a sound that goes when they truly initiate their attack and you can parry as soon as you hear it (because chances are that your reaction is a little delayed to the sound) and be successful.
3. Look for any visual cues. If they're a swiping/slashing enemy, a lot of times they'll hold their limb/weapon put for a while, then bring it down (the delay that you were talking about). Then parry when they start moving their weapon/limb.
4. Facetank things and equip the picto that gives you AP when you get hit but you don't get any when you parry lol

Could have just left it as it's a single player game

Thats not an excuse. The previous output was due to errors and glitch from the weapon. Its not how its meant to be played. Regardless you can still do plenty damage without it

I followed this guide on how to get the 100 Luminas at The Fountain at the end of the game. In it, the guy who made the guide says you can kill one extra Nevron, as well as two others that outright ask you to kill them. This is false. Do NOT kill the extra, third Nevron. This will make you fail the quest and lock you out from the trophy. I am unsure if you can even kill the other two and still complete the quest/get the trophy.

I just found this out yesterday the hard way and had to put off finishing the game because I was so fucking livid and couldn't bring myself to play. Please do not repeat my mistake.
