Dragon Quest 11: Echoes of an Elusive Age |OT| Classic Combat Camera is Crucial
- Thread starter Aeana
- Start date
Slayer of the sands was, imo, the biggest difficulty spike on Draconian. I actually gave up Draconian on it, went forward, felt strange, and went back to it.
Generally, going forward, you are going to have more abilities to help handle loss and just more survivability. There are a couple more spikes in the first act, but the second act is pretty smooth on Draconian.
As for slayer of the sands: try to dazzle/sleep it--these are particularly important given the desperate attacks. Use buffs and debuffs--these can really help burn him faster and defend against his normal attacks. Use parry--a parried attack is a great spike source of mitigation. Line up your party to better defend it against the onslaught (leftmost is most likely to be targeted).
Do you have the gear from the horse race? It isn't hard to get and is quite good. In general, do you have the crafted gear? This stuff can help a good bit.
What level are you?
The Gallopolis region is the only area where I felt weak throughout, and felt it was necessary to overlevel the area to beat enemies comfortably (at least judging by the level the new companion joins). At level 17 you should be able to defeat the boss without excessive trouble, although bad luck with the RNG can become your doom. Dazzling and debuffing the boss defence should be the top priorities. I would also recommend having Erik with knives and his sleeper cut ability, as its miles better than relying on the sleep spell.
Either way, I would heavily suggest to not drop the harder enemies modifier. The game is fairly easy with it on as far as I have seen (about to enter the final dungeon in Act 2), so I really can't imagine how dull an experience it would have been with it off. I would recommend to at least wait until the boss from the next area to make your choice of dropping the modifier, as in my experience Gallopolis represented a harder jump in difficulty that hasn't been replicated yet.
I think still early game based on some of the numbers I've seen thrown around but this has to do with Octagonia.
Who gives a shit if Vince was doing what he was doing for a good caused, he was murdering people and he just gets off scott free. That's some shit.
Question
How does Irwin pass on to the afterlife? I thought with the world tree destroyed people aren't able to pass on and just get stuck in the void?
I am level 67,close to 120 hours of play...how come I cant even make a Frizzle foil yet for a certain quest,jesus...also my sidequest journal says 57 quests but the Walkthrough I am using when I get stuck talks about 60 sidequest...?
You can buy the Fizzle Foil from a shop in Gallopolis.
edit: or Gondolia. Can't remember, other than I bought it.
Ahhh,nice thanks for the heads up.
Ok thanks...I am well into Act 3 now,I will compare with the list I have to see.
I like Octagonia story, but that part could be handled better...
Vince is clearly murdering people for a few years now, and he doesn't even get punished ? It's even absurb that he actually confess his crime and the city forgive him.
I was expecting Vince to turn himself in, admits his crime, says that he will take whatever punishment in exchange for the orphanage being taken care of by the city.

For those who finished the main story.
About how far into the game am I?
The big bad just revealed himself and took the sword.

Times vary a lot. You are into what is colloquially known as Act 2 now.
For me act 1 took 50 hours, act 2 took 30-35 and then post game took 70 but I did more than needed for platinum.
I was also talking a lot, crafting a lot, moseying around a lot, and playing with stronger monsters so....plenty of people accomplished everything I did in less time and you don't need to do all that at all.
Some people I've talked to ended with game clocks sub-70 hours.
The game handles this badly but y'all sorta missed that...
They're not dead. That's why Jade isn't fighting with you during that boss- while you fight, she's cutting them down to save them.
So he didn't murder anyone. But he still does kinda get away with it too easily; I appreciate that everyone in the town is understanding, but it going as far as pushing "well, it's our fault for pushing the arena so much and wanting a hero" was a little much...?

I don't have problem if that's the case but,
I'm pretty sure Vince has been doing this for years.
- He is the champion of last year.
- Missing fighter case have been happening since before this year tournament.
- The spider boss is not in a wounded state when you fight it.

Unless I'm missing something ?
He's been champion for a few years now. He murdered people. The people rescued were those from this tournament.
It's too bad you can switch difficulty back and forth in a way ...I am telling you,I would of stopped playing a long time ago if I was on Draconian mode and Act 3 lol.
Man this game is top notch quality on every front -BUT- the music soundtrack. It is truly baffling too me. Anyone got any links that I should google on what happened behind the scenes?
What's sad I actually like the soundtracks. But its played way too much. That overworld music is driving me nuts now. And I'm stuck with PS4 ver!! I am so sad I didnt get this on PC instead so I can 'fix'.
I aint even picky bout soundtracks. I never whine bout this. TRhis is the 1st game ever that has driven me nuts with the same track over and over and over and over.
I made it to Tentacular how much longer do I have til this game is over? I love the game but hate the redundancy of the beats

Just, like, open the inventory and use it? I don't have to be on/near one of those special pads? Dang. Wish they'd surfaced that better. Thanks
Beaten act 2, and thus, the bulk of the narrative.
It has been an enjoyable experience, with a likeable cast and a much more solid combat system than I thought I would get. But man, it's way too damn generic. No effort at all was put in the world building, the plot is as basic as it gets in concept and execution, and how it handles its dungeon and field design is exactly in the same barren way as its low budget competiton.
I liked it, but I really didn't manage to see what most people see in it. Let's see if act 3 makes me change my mind, but I'm a bit scared of playing it due to a certain plot device used early on in the game that hasn't been explained or addressed yet, and I get the feeling it will be the focus of the 3rd act, and I really fear what they have done with it if that's the case.

Act 3 is central to the narrative. It really shouldn't be post-game: it ties everything together to deliver the message of the game.
I know, there's two big plot elements that haven't been addressed yet. I just wanted to share my opinion of the game as the end of act 2 felt like a good place to take a break from the game. Once I finish with DUSK I will go back to finish it.
No I get that. I felt that way at the time too (that things had reached a conclusion).
But the third act really reflects back on what has been going on in the rest of the game and brings out what the game is saying about it all, is what I mean. It isn't so much about plot points but about how parts of the whole relate to each other. Act 3 brings things to a point.
I thought the first few hours were slow, but the game really picks up once you start meeting main party members.
Approaching the end now (102 hours and ticking) and I love love love this game.
But bosses with 3 turns per round can choke on a hamburger filled with rusty nails. Fought one last night, swapped in my boy Sylvando at one point who *immediately* took 3 consecutive hits and died. Forget that
...I really do love this game though

How much grinding should I be doing?
I was killing all the monsters in an area before moving on for the first 15 hours or so but since then I usually just kill all the new monsters in an area and ignore all the others.
My entire party is Level 27-24 and I've just reached Lonalulu. Only playing on the standard difficulty level.

I just finished Act 3, true final boss.
I have never felt as satisfied with a JRPG experience until now, and I know my way around. Game's near perfect.

After more than three months and approximately 106 hours on my save file, platinum get! What with getting the best armors, leveling all the characters up to 99, and putting lots of effort into getting weapons and shields too, the final boss was understandably kind of a cakewalk. But that's fine by me.
The end credits sequence was pretty cool, don't think I've ever seen one quite like it.
Now, I'm going to play a bunch of short indie platformers.

man i am super bummed out right now.
I haven´t touched the game since release (played 5 hours) because i wanted to finish AC:O first.
Did that yesterday and started Dragon quest up this morning.
The game keeps a few seconds t after i click the "play game" option .
A black window pops up for a sec, then the game bugs out...
I hope it`s not the orchestra mod. Everything worked fine a few weeks ago.

Are there any trick to get jackpot in roulette ?
Fk this sidequest and whoever made it.
Edit : complaining in the internet apparently work. Tried the 12/14 method from gfaqs and betting 2000 coins on number 12 and 14 each, managed to land 72.000 coins three times (twice on number 12 and once on number 14) before landed on jackpot, all under 25 minutes.

What "Act" am I on?
[edit] Ah google to the rescue. I am on Act 2
I just made it to that Tibetan monk Temple where this little avatar kid walks out to greet me. My whole world is aflame basically and the bad guy has "won". Just curious am I getting close to any sort of resolution?
[edit] Ah google to the rescue. I am on Act 2
You just started Act 2. Basically you're maybe a bit further than a third thought the whole game.
