    Ok here we go. Really wish there was a wireless utility to move screenshots off the ps3.

    I 'finished' the game at level 50 for those interested:

    New weapon
    It's a giant dragons head!

    post ending stuff (no story spoilers)
    Not only is there some continuation, all enemies are now advanced types.

    Oh and vagrant apparently in addition to sending a pawn off, you have to sleep in an Inn yourself to force the game to transfer the data.

    I just completely fucked up the drake with arc of deliverance.

    Between me, my pawns ice pillars and silvias BOOM BABY we ruined it's shit in 5 minutes.

    I haven't even upgraded my gear all that much. I just used the advice Monger gave about staying on its left side. I didn't have to use any healing items. I did have to use a bunch of stamina items tho. :)

    It's funny that the game title in the thread is still wrong.

    Also, with the mythology this game draws from, I'm really surprised there's not a minotaur enemy.

    It was sloppy as fuck and sooo satisfying. :D Dis class aint about style.

    It was the same drake. They respawn like all the other monsters so you can have as many chances of dragon forged loot as you like.

    Anyone mind throwing me a bone on my pawn. PSN: Seemoan Pawn:Aerith please help me out she's only level 12 so might only be good for lower levels unless u mind hooking me up with some cool gear. She mainly supports first with boons then heals.

    A question.
    How can I avoid Reynard getting killed by the cyclops I counter where I need to take him to another town?

    If I cancel the quest, can I pick it up later?

    Man no one's taken my pawn out lately.

    He has attack spells again I promise! And I got rid of Ice Affinity (And gave him High Frazil or whatever the ice pillar spell is) because he was using it all the time even against things not weak to ice.

    At first I was going to say to never explore Soulflayer Canyon at night: Narrow ledges, zero visibility, flying enemies, invisible lizardmen, and phantoms. It's kinda a pain.
    But then I found Calabolg, the lightning enchanted 1hand sword (152atk/202atk rank0) and was feeling good.

    Then I picked up a Bastard Sword 1hand (244atk rank 0). While wielding it at night my main's damage with a 1hander is higher than Hrist's with a giant 2handed sword.

    You know what is also awesome about fire enchant + triple cannon? If you have the upper cut ability, if you use that on an orb, it shoots 6 orbs instead of 3. So if you use that on triple orbs...it's disgusting, I'll just say that.

    (Edit: Scratch that. 187,500 to create a forgery. Yikes.)

    Wait. Who here needed a real one because they missed out on the quest? I can back up my save real quick and gift one methinks.

    That was me :)

    Also is there any quest so I can get into the dukes estate? Can't get in via the front or back doors

    Idol forgeries give the lowest benefit from shops.

    Enjoy your Gold Idol, because I am a classy gentelman.

    No really, how did you miss out on this one? Did you make the guy guilty or were you the jerk adult that outran a little girl?

    The Pawn suggested she hid in the guild which I took to mean the idiot went into the Everfall.

    NOPE.

    Also, this has probably taken the place in my top 5 games of all time. It's just so full of those little moments you remember as some of your best gaming events. Even ordinary fights can turn into something amazing. I was fighting a sole ogre near a cliff and decided I didn't want to risk his crazy drop kick to the head, so I grabbed on to him so I could pound his face in with my giant mace (that is not a euphemism)...and then he did the dropkick. Off the cliff. With me still hanging on.
    And the awesome part is I landed on top of him without even getting hurt, but he was quite dead. The downside was I had a long trip to get back where I was.

    I really hope this does well. The things they could do in a sequel...whew.

    Man, sometimes Pawns get way too eager to show you the way to the next quest destination.

    Yes, I realize it's over there. I've been over there before. There's a big red circle over there. I get that I'm supposed to go over there. Now could you please come over here and help me out with the ten snow harpies, pack of dire wolves, and fucking chimera I've stumbled onto and am now trying to solo?

    Speaking of Chimeras, I remember running into one at level 16 or so and absolutely getting my ass kicked. 23 levels later, IT was the one getting its ass kicked. So satisfying...

    Yeah. I ran into that chimera and saurian pack early in the game and had to use every single healing item to win by the skin of my teeth. Now they go down nice and fast. Not quite as fast as a cyclops, which could just about take the place of goblins and not give me much trouble at all, but still fast.

    Mostly it was the harpies I needed help with. I am shit at aiming a bow against a fast target.

    I have, and I regret to inform you that now he uses Holy Affinity all the time now, even against things that are not weak to holy (and weak to fire)

    EDIT: It's a pretty unique problem I haven't seen before, so I'm thinking it has something to do with his characteristics. Is he Utilitarian Primary? (I can't check atm, the cheap internet service I have means I have enough bandwidth for either just my computer or the 360, trying to do both means it fails at both) might try getting some of those potions to take it off if that's the case, so he only uses those boons when there is a clear advantage, instead of all the damn time (which would likly result in him using the right one more often) also, IMO 3 boons is 1 too many, which is why I didn't touch him untill you took off the ice one.

    Also two questions.

    First, where/how do I get all of the Gryphonic Armor? found the chest and greaves during the griffin quest, but what about the rest? are they still somewhere in there? can I buy them someplace else?

    also, on the Gold Idol:
    If I have started the quest for the trial, is it already too late to be nice to a little girl?

    Yeah, that was the one, only I didn't get to kill it before it killed Mercedes... I wasn't happy about re-loading, either...

    EDIT: This time, I'm taking on Shadow Fort first. I don't care if I have to go through 80 Potent Greenwarishes to murder those stupid Ogres; I am not going through the same shit again for that escort quest.

    You just have to make sure he's innocent. Give no pro-guilty evidence. There's apparently real evidence you can find, but you can get two pro-innocent testimonies in town, one up in the northern encampment which gives a easy escort back to the castle, and back in the starting town you can by forged letters for pro-innocence or pro-guilty.

    I don't know what it is but all my Escort quests have been cake. I'm guessing it's because as a Sorceror, I stay away from the monsters anyway and so the Escort just sticks around me so they stay out of the way.

    Also holy shit I'm sick of High Anodyne. That thing takes way way too long for the Pawns I'm hiring to cast. Totally not worth the DP.

    My guy still only has normal Anodyne for this reason.

    Get rid of the Utilitarian trait maybe? That's the one (along with Medicant) that triggers support skills so that may work. Otherwise, just go with Fire Affinity. It works about 70% of the time.

    Remind me who your pawn is?

    I think he may have already lost it but I'll check soon. My pawn is Dylan. 360 name is scootermcgaffin

    edit: Just swapped in High Spellscreen for Holy Affinity so he's just rolling with Fire Affinity now. Maybe that will make him smarter.
