Do you do post commentary for these super speed episode segments? If not how do you control the damn menus in game at that high of a frame rate?

[LancerD1984]

@ryeo998 I do a lot of editing during those sped up segments.

[g1ann1skommatian]

i was wondering can't you use mirror on your chars and bounce back those diamond dust or cinder blast?

[LancerD1984]

@g1ann1skommatian I'm pretty sure that wouldn't work.

[MauricXe]

Is someone scrubbing pots/pans @ 8:15 ish?

Those dragons suck. wth @ them spamming

I would love for you to face those gold dragons with your normal gears + level (99)

Flash is worthless.

haha yea 3 turns is lame.

[LancerD1984]

@MauricXe Yeah, scrubbing Pans very loudly in the kitchen.

@LancerD1984 Cinder Blast, Diamond Dust, and Stardust Blow are considered physical attacks, so mirror won't work. Also, gold and Silver dragons are immune to their own attacks. Try equipping a silver or gold eye and using diamond dust or stardust blow on them. It will miss every time. Stardust is holy and thunder elemental, and diamond dust is water and ice elemental. All of which metal dragons are immune to.

In my run through I just did, I could beat the gold and silver dragons in one round. I got extremely lucky and got a "lizard blow" sword for both Guy and Dekar, which does extra damage against dragons. I'd have Guy and Dekar attack, and Maxim and Selan use Trick on both of them to raise their attack power, and boom, they're dead in one round.

You don't have to walk around slashing every single bush, just look at them as you pass! The bushes that have a healing pad beneath them look different...And it's not even a small, subtle difference, it's completely obvious.

@LancerD1984

It's really nice to speed that up though it's just the same thing over and over. The extra editing must be a inconvenience. But thanks for the extra attention a lot of people appreciate that I'm sure.

[ryeo998]

Also agree on Gades Blade. But switching it out every time you fight dragons is a pain in the ass but effective as hell. It's dark element and it's IP kills those dragons damn good. Also I think the dragon's special attacks can be mitigated through your defense buff or magic defense buff. I'm not sure if it's classified as physical or magic damage though. I did notice they did more damage to your party after you were hit with dread.

[Strlk]

@g1ann1skommatian Wont work those attacks are filed under those rage attacks, which you get when you get hit.

[MageKnight404]

Ack! The Gold Dragon! The toughest of the tough! They're intense!

[skyknightdragon]

Just thought of something. I think Gades Blade is Dark element (it doesn't work on undead at least), so maybe it and Octo-strike can even the odds a bit against those dragons.

But yeah...Gold Dragons are the hardest enemies there are.
