Thanks for the heads up!I'd say forge Catholicon Rings, but those are in
The Drustan Trials. They offer 50 percent protection against most ailments, and 2 of those will negate it completely

Full Moon Rings give +30% standard and +50% at +3, while Full Moon Collars give +10% standard and +25% at +3.I think I had everyone wearing 2 +3 Full Moon Collars.
On a related note it's annoying how there are no easily accessible guides or wikis for this game. I was trying to look up whether Full Moon Rings or Collars had the better paralysis resist value but I can't find that info anywhere.

You can check equipment details from whatever menu - equipping characters, shops, forging - by pressing Y to check stats, where it's found, and possible quality improvements. There's also a spreadsheet with details (and spoilers, obviously) based on the original release.
Its pretty easy, but to make it incredibly easy you need both pep and pip pops.
Start with Rab, Jade, Sylavando, Erik. Use your pep pop so all 4 are powered up. Swap hero for Rab. Use Hero's ability to pep up. Use the combo ability Haulellujah. Now, swap Erik out for Rab. Have hero use the ability to pep up again, and have Jade use the Pip pop on herself. Now, use Electro Light. Hopefully 3 metal monsters appear. Have Rab use his Pep ability that puts enemies to sleep.
Now just use abilities like critical claim, hatchet man, or lightning thrust to kill the sleeping metal monsters. I went from 60-82 in maybe an hour and a half? Depends on how often electro light gave me machines instead of metals. I just reset on those situations.
Get Hero, Jade, Sylvando and Rab pepped up. Switch each character out of your lineup when they get pepped up. Then head to a campsite and save your game. Take all four into battle and use the pep power Electro Light. If you get shafted and don't get metal slimes reload. Next use Rabs pep power to attempt to force all the slimes to sleep. After that just use your best abilities to try and crit the buggers. :)
Am I overleveled if I am level 70 on average with my whole party by the end of Act 2? Stronger monsters by the way.
Had to take a break for the night. Start of Act 2 really drags. Not sure I'm a fan of how it was handled with
Splitting up the party members and basically making you start over
Part of the problem with that isall those character episodes were added to the switch version. It's why they feel so out of place and pace breaking
You'll learn more about him in Act 3, but I get what you mean.72h and I beat act 2
mordegon fucking sucks. I get evil for evil's sake kinda villains, but there was fucking nothing to him. shit, might as well have been Jasper as the main villain
Yes definitely lolAm I overleveled if I am level 70 on average with my whole party by the end of Act 2? Stronger monsters by the way.
I understand they got rid of campsite shortcuts in 2D-version to make the game feel more traditional, but man is it a drag to walk back to First Forest from Arboria after finishing quests there. Especially because you can't avoid monsters as there are random encounters.
I actually liked the character episodes. I got to control other characters, I thought the stories were fun and it was nice to have the player character not stand around like an expressionless dumbass when big events were unfolding.
I don't like the start of act 2, it just feels like restarting the game. It's way too slow. I don't want to pick up all the party members town by town again. No horse whistle, no nose for treasure, Fun Size Forge now sucks cause I don't have anyone to make armor for. The premise is weak and has bought the game to a screeching halt.
I think I'm at the point of recruiting Jade and Rab and really enjoying the game, I only have two complaints so far
1. I really didn't like Gemma
2. Skill points are given in small amounts and most skills cost 10-20 points so you have to level up many times before you can buy any new skills.

Same thing happened to me but it didn't take that long to get through the second time.I went through the entire goddamn library in Sniflheim and was really disappointed when i reached the end and found nothing.
I thought "damn, this is probably a story dungeon i come to later, at least I've cleared the way with all the switches and stuff and can just run through later on"
NOPE. ALL THE SWITCHES AND DOORS HAVE RESET.
I'm sorry but that is shit game design. Absolute steaming shit. Dont let me go in there if is not relevant yet. God fucking damn it
Mini-medals: 55I'm seeing different totals different places I look, anyone how many Mini Medals, Recipe Books, and Quests I should have at the end of Act 1?
I'm pretty sure I'm not going to get all my "Nose for Treasure" numbers down to 0, but for the meaningful stuff I'd rather have it all before I continue.
The Dish Served Cold sidequest is bullshit. I've fought over 20+ killing machines and still no sign of the enemy I need. I fought them in and around the fjord, at night and during the day, and still no luck. Am I missing something, or is my RNG luck just really bad?
Just out of curiosity, when you all played through this game, did you always have direct control over every character in battle, or did you use the automated AI option?
At the moment I'm controlling them all because I like being able to choose which abilities to use and when, but I'm starting to wonder if I should maybe let the AI take over for a bit.
The more I type this, the more I realise what a ridiculous question this sounds as I realise it will just come down to personal preference haha

Finally got it! Changed the time to dusk and found it on my third encounter.It's all down to RNG, unfortunately. I got mine on the frozen lake at night in several playthroughs, though it took a while each time. Other people have reported finding them at other times of day even outside of the lake.
There are a couple items that (slightly) increase rare monster rates, but one you can only get near the end of Act 2 and the other is Act 3 only.
Ok I have a question.
I am in Act 2, after Arborea, on Harder Monsters.
In what should I specialize Serena ?
Priest: the Vikings treated kids like slaves
Also priest: I can't tell if that was a good or bad thing forMakes you think🤔Erik
Lol the same happened to me, but at least I already knew how to get through it so it wasn't too bad.I went through the entire goddamn library in Sniflheim and was really disappointed when i reached the end and found nothing.

Wands is probably the way to go, if only so she can equip a shield.Ok I have a question.

they want me to make sword of light ,but they say I don't have everything I need... but they never explained what I need in the first place.
Yeah I was like what the fuck? The town folks were saying that the Vikings were amazing but the game said otherwise.
I think it's just bad writing because even after that the Viking got off way too easy.
Oh I see forgot about going there...Wands is probably the way to go, if only so she can equip a shield.
You need the orichalcum from the Battleground and the Forging Hammer from Gallopolis.
After four losses in the Black Cup on Difficult the guy said "well, you came in second, but you're so cool, we'll act like you won" and it gave me star on the race as well as the Wings of Serendipity. Is this specific to this race, or is this a pity mechanic in place for all the races, or what?
If you just follow the story naturally then you'll be fine. You're already a much higher level than necessary for the final boss imo.at this point most of my characters are at level 80 and I am sufficiently overwhelmed with everything to do in act three so I think I'm just going to make a backup save to revisit at some point and just forge onward to complete the story for now. Is there anything necessary that I need to do that will help me breeze through the final boss?
