Update time!

So I've played about four hours today, and in that time I just have one thing to say; What the actual fuck is going on with the story now?! spoilers ahead;

First thing that happened is the boss fight with Gadolt... he's dead now.

I was right about Dickson! I knew there was something weird with him from the moment his name was mentioned between Alvis and that High Entia woman, still can't remember her name, and just seen her in cutscenes too lol.  Can't believe I was right when I joked about him being "the man behind this whole thing" in an earlier post or something along those lines, I didn't think he was actually gonna' be THIS evil, damn Dickson, chill out man! :o 

I wasn't expecting a midair fight scene between Zanza and Lady Mayneth, that was pretty cool... and I did a pretty big what the fuck when I found out Shulk had been dead this whole time, and I'd actually been playing as Zanza, just using the body as a host, that just came out of nowhere, I thought Zanza was the big dude but it turns out that was Egil's friend, which to be honest is a valid reason for Egil to be pissed and try to destroy the Bionis, he was actually the good guy all along!

I also now know why I can't travel back to Sword Valley or the Mechonis, because, well... they're gone! :o

Seriously, lots of shit has happened in the time I've played today, it's been filled with deaths and traitors! 

Where I am now; I've just saved the game while in Colony 6 while on Junks. My main party (Shulk, Dunban and Sharla, still my favourite combo for its sustain) is Lv. 70, and I feel like I'm gonna' need to grind a few levels before I carry on, I checked the internet to see what level people fought the last boss at, spoiler free of course, and the average seems to be 78-80, and I feel like I'm very close now, so gonna' get some levels up, but don't know any high level areas to go to, so if anyone wants to throw some places at me, feel free to.

As for what's next, I've got to make my way to the Bionis' Interior, but I'll do that after I gain a few levels. I'm guessing that's where the final battle takes place. No spoilers for whatever is next though please.

You are really feeling it! XD

The spot Rol mentioned is good, mobs there also drop some of the best light armor in the game. If I remember correctly the enemies in the next area are level 72-77, so it should be an ok place to train too.

Bet you're glad you didn't stop now! That twist you found out about early on was really only the tip of the iceberg in terms of plot twists. 

Won't say how much you have left, but hope you enjoy it.

I feel like I'm about to smash my Wii U gamepad against a wall or floor right now... 

I'm on the Lorithia boss fight

I died there several times too. I leveled up to be able to beat this boss.

Since the boss is level 75, level up your party members to 78. It's the most time-effective thing you can do. That single level will do wonders.

I don't remember having any noticeable problems in that fight except for retarded AI characters trying to take a bath in the ether, but by that time I had spent a lot of time crafting gems, my characters had many affinity coins, at least one extra skill tree, and I was beginning to figure out how to put those pieces together in an effective way.

So I'm now Lv. 77 on all my characters, and have tried another five times, three times with my main party, and twice with an Ether party, can't do anything whatsoever... wouldn't even mind if I was making progress, but the boss is only Lv. 75 anyway, so this should be easy.

This boss is the most unfair pile of shit I've ever seen in an RPG, and I've played a LOT of RPGs... and after spending almost eight hours trying to fight this one boss, then grinding to be higher level than it, and STILL dying over and over, I'm starting to lose any patience I have left, and giving up here, saying fuck it I'm not gonna' do it, is becoming very tempting right now...

It honestly is fucking ridiculous.

If it's any consolation she is the hardest boss in the game.

You are like 2 or 3 hours away from the end.Gain one or two levels more and just try to steamroll her.

ENJOY THIS BATTLE, FOR IT WILL BE YOUR LAST



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

I remember this fight being hard my first play through...
I thought it would just be enough to have Melia in my party but the AI is dreadful...
Until that point I had not gotten used to using her ether attacks, so I had to spend some extra time figuring her out...
My second play through Inwas completing all the quests as I got them, so I was way over leveled for nearly all of the boss fights...



Have a nice day...
