Yeah, you're right Kaos. That's where I've been farming Dark Matter for the Scarletite I need.Kaos said:An easier way would be to fight his boss symbol on Chapter 1, Day 4.Szyslak said:You can't get more Scarletite through the story after you complete the game. I think you can only get it as a quest item in the Shibu-Q Head shop, but you need dark matter.GameDragon said:Yeah I noticed the shortage of Scarletite way too late. Where can I get some more Scarletite or Dark Matter if anyone knows?
I think the easiest way is to use Joshua to fight Beat during week 2 on Ultimate difficulty. One of the recommended strategies is to chain the battles before Beat so that you have Joshua's level 3 fusion ready for Beat. Now, if you don't have enough Scarletite to get Ultimate difficulty or Joshua's 3rd level fusion, then you can get 1 dark matter from 10 shadow matter as a quest item.
That way he won't run off if you don't kill him fast enough.
Here's my (updated) Dark Matter strategy if anyone's interested:
[titleost Game Dark Matter farming]Chapter 1, Day 4, using Joshua as a partner.
- Put clothing on Joshua that starts the battles with fusion stars if you have it
- Set difficulty to Ultimate
- Set drop rate to 67
- Set your partner's battle mode to something other than "Auto:Fast". I use "Auto:Low".
- Boss Noise Beat is at 104, to the left and above the store entrance
- Chain 2 regular noise before Beat Noise, raising your drop rate over 200 (guarantees Beat's Ultimate drop, which is Dark Matter)
- Use the first two battles against frogs and wolves to raise your Fusion level with Joshua to level 3. If your defense is high enough, you don't even need to worry about controlling Neku. Just control Joshua to get the fusion stars. It's not too hard once you get the hang of it. Once I get the max level fusion, I use Neku (Lightning Rook) to kill off the rest of the noise
- At the very beginning of the battle with Beat, unleash the Level 3 Fusion attack, and it should erase Beat right away, dropping his ultimate pin
It takes a couple minutes per battle chain, but it didn't take me that long to get all the Dark Matter I needed for "Hollow Leg", "16 chain battle", etc.
Just wish I hadn't wasted the Scarletite during the story.
