Just finished the game.

Only partial Spoilers:

Spoiler

All about lvl 49, all 72 Dijinn, about 60% of the summons and only took 38 hours, perhaps 45 total if I got everything, 50 at a push tbh.

Only boss I found really hard was the one Ancient Devil, the others were basic including the Boss, not found Dullhallen but haven't really looked, only got those that I came across and missed some permanent ones so not interested in getting until I replay it again.

Has anyone tried a lot of combinations on the Start Screen, ya know to get a code like on the 1st one, gotta be a 2nd

Anyone have a savegame near the beginning right after u go onto the plateau to rescue the boy? My flashcard erased my save and I can be bothered to go through to slow opening and tutorial bits again.
Many thanks in advance!

Just start over and button mash your way through the tutorial and dialogue. It's not that hard and it doesn't take hours to get to the point where your save game got erased.

 

[dreassica]

If i wanted to do that I would have by now, but it takes ages and I just can'be bothered going through all this again. Intro takes ages, as well as all the tutorials.

Ok this is probably been said several times but I cant find it after looking for over an hour

Is there an AP fix for emulators? Cuz both ideas and no$ are blackscreening me ;(

Is there a way to make the text auto-scroll during battles?

 

[PeregrinFig]

As far as I know, just like in the GBA games you have to press A to proceed through most text in battle.

Unrelated but not off-topic: I'm playing TLA right now, and it blows DD out of the water in every aspect except graphics, due only to technical constraints. And it's not even beaten by that much.

Lost Age is my favorite in the series, have fun.

My whole party is over 70 and got destroyed.

I guess I need to rush him and pray he doesn't do a djinn storm right away.

What you need to do, is basically summon Daedulus ONLY with your first party, so all Mars and Venus Djinn in your first party. Then 2nd party ONLY summons Eclipse, so all Mercury and Jupiter Djinn in your 2nd party. Put all djinn in stanby/set watever beforehand. You need a LITTLE luck, but, you should be able to do it. I only had Rief left at then end of the battle, it was very close x.x

I assume you are trying to use the European version? It does not yet work but the M3 team is aware of it.

While I was in Yamata. When examining the various pots and statues I kept finding what seem to be yellow coins
named "____." just blank like that. They can't be dropped or sold and unfortunately I picked up enough of them
that only Himi has room to pick things up anymore.
I can't seem to find any use for them and find no mention of them in any walk through.
Are they some sort of AP or glitch?
Is there any way to edit the save so I no longer have them?
(Playing on an Acekard using AKAIO 1.8.1 if that matters.)
Thanks.

Played with the same setup and never had it.

Sure you can;t do anything with it? Does it give any options besides giving away?

Nope, only option available is "Give."
I've spoken to everyone in Yamata twice now with no options of giving them away to anyone or anything.
I thought maybe they would be forgeables, but Obaba couldn't use them either.
It's not really hurting my game as long as I don't run out of space. I'd just hate to have to restart because of this if I did run out of space.

 

[altorn]

i went and locked myself out of north angara (where the sword guy blows up the cave) and wasn't able to get the Jupiter Djinn in Goma Highlands.... (fuckin MOVE spell can be aimed DIAGONALLY at the pillar by the camp! HOW WOULD I KNOW???)

About beating the last optional boss. The Prima Guide lists its pattern and this pattern can be found on the internet. I will edit the pattern in later. The full pattern is 24 actions and 8 turns. The boss AI tests for success of an action before making the move and skips actions that will not succeed.

Take the ability Crucible. Crucible allows the boss to summon djinn on standby. The priority is Catastrophe, Coatlicue, Haures, Crystal Dragon and then single element summons. Given the djinn to summon Charon - for example - Judgment will be summoned. Crucible is skipped when no djinn are on standby

More examples:

Curse. Boss will skip when its psynergy is bound or all targets are Cursed
Haunt same

Attack. Boss will skip when Delude'd


You can reboot until the pattern starts where you want.

Pattern from Prima Guide.

I. [ Condemn, Charon, Curse ]

II. [ Djinn Storm, Haunt, Fulminous Edge ]

III. [ Dark Contact, attack, Fulminous Edge ]

IV. [ Break, attack, Dark Contact]

V. [ Element Swap, Haunt, Curse ]

VI. [ Fulminous Edge, Bind, Crucible ]

VII. [ attack, Dark Contact, Fulminous Edge ]

VIII. [ attack, Element Swap, attack ]
