Having played the game on my r4 on the latest Wood, I think I may have found the AP. When you battle with Dubhe at teh end of the first day when you escape point, Daichi is meant drive a van into Dubhe to take out the majority of his HP and your objectives change from escaping to taking out Dubhe. However it that doesn't happen with my setup and I'm left having to take out Dubhe without Daichivangate.

Confirming this. WoodR4 1.44 has AP. And Daichi is supposed to remove most of the immunities from the boss.
Looks like Index picked up on that invulnerable giant golden scorpion.

Played the JP up to the end of first day, so I have a general idea on what to expect, but i can't really play it right now (my mom now owns my XL and the only working flashcart i have now). this will have to be backlogged, along with a lot of my 3DS games (into Morrowind right now).

Level 4 doesn't give you another affinity. It allows you to send demons to the other person instantly.

And there's an anti-holy skill now : (

3rd day boss was a pushover. (hint: crack drain from Ronaldo, boss can still be hit by holy. Overwise, just sit back and let Ronaldo take care of it.)

4th day
Woke up, another boss right away. Another pushover. But wait, those aren't the main body? Fuuu.
Otome get! Yays~

Ah that's right, forgot that, pretty useful for some battle not prepared. But not so much in the end. The coop crack skills is much more usefull imo.

As for someone who wanted both Ronaldo and Yamato, you have to go Daichi's routes (any) and re-collect all 12 chars (need FATE rank 4 IIRC at least for some) and go special ending.

Also, the only passive Anti-Almighty (or Holy) skill there is is available on Lilith (secret boss battle) so... meh except her you won't encounter any resistance. Whereas other elements and especially phys you'll get stuck sometimes...


Lulz, did the giant ice laser get you. Or those annoying bombs?
Fuse some angels, they really help here.

Gotta agree. Got 3 Angels with 17-19 MAG, Force Dance the crap outta him.

I have a question. If I try to play this on the DeSMUME, I get minor graphical issues. If I use SoftRasterizer the text is squished up and sometimes unreadable, if I use OpenGL this fixes the text problem but when I try to set the skills the background doesn't dissappear so my skill list overlaps the previous screen which makes it hard to see which skill I'm trying to set. Is there any setting that can fix this error?

I saw some desmume let's play on YT, and no, as far as I know there is no fix. Except playing on a flashcart that is

Ok, well I guess as long as it's "playable." Another question I just got to Dubhe, anyone else use DESMUME and can say that this will not loop(with the truck not coming and what not)? I usually don't have AP problems with DESMUME, but I did have a problem with fossil fighters champions, I had to patch it or use no$gba or use a open source version of DESMUME. It was just "ghetto" having to swap emulators each time.(Black screen freeze when changing islands for one, and black screen freeze for cleaning fossils on a different emu).

Edit: Never mind just found out my own answer, was just wanting to know ahead of time in case I had to get a patch or something.

Get dicastia's patcher and you're good to go. If not there will be an infinite loop at this fight (end of day one, no truck coming to the rescue)

Oh? I have DS2 on a Wood R4 but not the most recent one. It's patched and I haven't had any trouble in the very beginning. Should I be expecting some kind of AP later?

Aack, stupid 2nd boss.

I'm stuck on this stupid part. I'm level 17 and they still get me. Is the grinding with free battles suppose to be really slow? Cause I'm getting around 16 exp for some of the monsters.

The Day 2 boss was so pathetically easy it's not even funny, and I even accidentally threw Daichi into the first laserbeam shot and it killed him, and Joe was useless so I basically did the mission with just Io and MC.

MC level..14? I believe it was. A level 12 or so Tam Lin and god knows how low level Knocker.
Io had a Kikimora that was 1 level higher than its base and a level 14 Kijimunaa.

I sent Daichi and Joe to crack skills from the two demons at the top of the map, and sent Io and MC immediately to the boss. I IGNORED the bombs and just focused on killing the boss. Daichi got lazured and Joe sat there doing nothing to the enemies, and Io and MC had the boss dead before the bombs even surpassed 3/4 of the way to the gate.

No tricks or anything, the boss was just stupid easy.


EDIT: and lol. Fighting my buddy Q...good times. When I first entered into the mission I thought i was completely screwed, but it turned out to be easier than it first appeared. Still great to see him return in DS2.

How does New Game + work? Can you keep replaying the game until you unlock everything?

I haven't got there yet, but looking around the internet, I think there's something like a gradeshop.

Name COST(pts)
- Inherit 1 Demon 20
- Inherit 4 Demons 80 (need 1 Demon first)
- Inherit 8 Demons 200 (need 1+4 Demons)
- Inherit All Demons 400 (1+4+8 Demons before choice is available)
- Inherit Skills 10
- Inherit Macca 110
- Inherit Auctions List 40 Unlocked Auctions again (Gold, Platinum and so on)
- Remove EXP Limitation 60 - Remove EXP Limitation selfexplanatory
- Compendium 10% Off 40
- Compendium 30% Off 120
- Compendium 50% Off 200
- Remove LV Limitation For Fusion 60
- New Enemy On Tuesday (Secret Boss?) 30 Nebiros (3RD DAY), Belial (5TH DAY) AND Alice (with Nebiros and Belial) (7TH DAY) secret battles available. Those battles doesn't move the clock by 30 min (free events)
- Enable Mitama fusion 30

Now as for how you get points:

Name Pts awarded description
First Ending 70 Finish the game for the first time
One character at FATE LV 5= 10, max is thus 120
Complete Compendium except special 200 [All registerable Demons without special fusions (think it's about Secret bosses+ghost Q and Sage of time)]
Complete Compendium special 400 (All registerable Demons and special fusions)
Complete Cracked Skills 150
Daichi route A, Yamato, Ronaldo, Gloomy one, Daichi route B each award 60pts thus max is 300 pts
NO FREE BATTLE 200 Hidden boss in free battle ok.
No one dies in battle 200 No Recarm/Samarecarm ? Everybody must lives through every battle (even free battle if you do some IIRC)
All 12 chars except Gloomy+special Path 300 Daichi route A or B and collect everychar (special ending)
Sage Of Time LV47 30 2ND DAY 17:30-18:00 Battle beat him and you're credited 30 pts
Nebiros LV86 60 3RD DAY 17:30-18:30 Battle Beat him and you're credited 60 pts
Lilith LV83 90 4TH DAY 14:00-17:00 (?) Battle Beat him and you're credited 90 pts
Belial LV86 120 5TH DAY 17:00 Battle Beat him and you're credited 120 pts

Alice LV99 200 7TH DAY 12:30 to 18:30 Battle Beat him and you're credited 200 pts

Grabbed this off someone on Gamefaq. I did not write any part of this. All I did was edit a bit.

Ahaha yeah saves me to repost it. (I'm kevinsephiroth on gamefaqs)
Guess I should post a "sticky me" on GF to cover most of the basics, frequently asked questions :D

As for 2nd day boss, yeah he's super easy, especially if you just stack Angel demons with very good mag and force dance the crap outta him. No need to bother with the mnibombs.

And ghost Q was a little trickier cause he always has an extra turn and act twice per field turn >< But still easy.
Just kill every but one demon on the field, get to him, shot him down in two turn with ANgel via Force Dance lol (and Blood Wine often to replenish MP)

I'm using r4 wood 1.45, the one that fixes the ds2, but the game is still freezing before i have to escape from Dubhe. Any help?

Edit: it freezes on the menu where it has "skill crack, edit team, position, dispatch"
no one else is having this problem

Try formatting your memory card and playing again,also make sure your using a clean rom if your using wood,if all that fails try a new rom...

Thanks for writing all that. Must have took awhile. A sticky would be a fine idea.

3rd day boss
...A giant sea urchin is how I'd describe it. It wasn't a pushover, but neither is it very hard (sh** Yamato hits hard). Ice danced the crap out of him.
*imagining a dancing king frost....*

4th day
I spent an hour just to fuse stuff. But now, none of my demons have weaknesses (am I a genius or what >_

Using R4 with latest Wood and no problems so far. I'm already on the third day and loving every second of the game.
