Etrian Odyssey - Primevil part 1

Hey, this is the final boss of the extra stratum of Etrian Odyssey. The main game ends at floor 25 but the extra stratum is made of 5 new floors carefully designed to drive you crazy. If you are patient enough to clear them all, you get to fight one of the hardest rpg bosses ever.

About half of his attacks are in pattern and most of them are the elemental attacks, which deal about 2000-4000 damages if you aren't prepared. So your only 2 choices is to increase your elemental defense enough to be able to withstand them or write down the pattern with trial and errors and use a protector to completly absorb them. But the later one is quite boring.

So I took the first choice and got a medic(not a cleric dumb me heh) and maxed her immunize which decrease elemental damages a lot and also physical damages. Boosting it increase its effectiveness even more. I also got 4 tourmalines which require 10 tri-color and 130k gold each. They also help with the elemental resist.

I'm obviously not using the best party for it, but I used what I had. My only 2 other characters that would have been able to help were my lvl 56 protector and lvl 70 alchemist. What I know is that the landsknecht sucks real bad at the end, the survivalist is overpowered and that I never tried the ronin. Anyway, like I wrote in the video, I used 4 characters because throughout the fight, primevil will check how many buffs my characters have and if it's 10 or higher, it will use a skill to negate all of them. I could also abuse it but that would slow down the fight a lot.

Well that's all I had to say, I know I wrote a lot but if you're watching this video because you have troubles with this boss, you'll know that it requires careful planning. Anyway good luck if it's the case, and I hope you'll enjoy the video.

this boss. this fucking boss. i get so close to beating him, so close to destroying that guy, and you know what happens? goddamn necrosis. one hit kills across the board. why.jpeg

[djrelllik]

@captainjobo Beat him faster! I think he only starts using necrosis after turn 25 or so. But yeah it's also random, and annoying X|

I'm probably going to sound like a 5-year-old and get a bunch of thumbs-down but this boss' appearance really freaks me out. D:

[Lockerdown3]

come on, they could've used more original boss music after the first four used this theme.

@djrelllik Gotta love the Gladiator's synergy with virtually everything. :3

Yup, that Farneer o' mine specializes in guns. I already put all the skill points of the Farmer that I want for him, and when I go endgame, I'll probably relocate them skill points to other things. Or just... you know... leave him in the Guild HQ, lol. :P

I forgot to mention I have a backup Arbalist, but she is just Studying... I need her as meat of slaughter to create my Yggdroid on the New Game+

[djrelllik]

@GamerWatcher Loll nice. (Farmer/Buccaneer, hmm that's original haha) I'm still at my second playthrough but I own with my not so original team of Shogun/Gladiator, Gladiator/Arbalist, Arbalist/Gladiator, Zodiac/Monk, Princess/Farmer. Actually I got to the 5th stratum boss at level 44, and I got totally wrecked! I guess I'll need to grind a little.

@GamerWatcher That damned Kirin (Or was it Kishin? Bleh, lol). Then I, feeling nostalgic for the challenge of the beginning of the game, decided to ERASE everything and start over. Hence my current party I mentioned in the beginning.

This game is dangerous to my health, and I suspect the 4th game is going to obliterate my social life. It's a good thing I already nabbed the friends I need. XD

[GamerWatcher]

@djrelllik ...Oh crap, lol. I think you're right. Geesh; I'm addicted enough with the 3rd game and its intricacies... And I only feel like I'm dipping my toes with my current party of Gladiator/Arbalist, Prince/Buccaneer, Monk/Farmer, Farmer/Buccaneer and Zodiac/Princess. They're 90% only in that setup for true role-playing purposes; my characters, haha. I already beated the game once; nabbed Yggdroid and slayed the Deep Princess. After New Game Plussing, I got Shogun and beated

[djrelllik]

@GamerWatcher Don't worry, but yeah you're confusing it with the second and third game. You can't increase the level in EO 1. And actually, it's waaaaaay more tedious than that lol. You actually increase the cap by one level each time you retire. So you have to do it 30 times, which takes forever.

[GamerWatcher]

@djrelllik I apologize for replying to a year-old comment, but basically, from what I last read (maybe I'm confusing it with the second game), you can remove the level 70 cap of a new character IF you retired a level 70 character; along with the boosted stats and stuff. The level cap jumps to 80, then you have to do it again if you wanna reach 90, then finally, doing it one last time, level 99. ^^

[Bass6286]

@PokedPoker In this version the level cap is 70. It was changed to 99 in 2 and 3, though you had to fulfill special requirements to get there.

[PokedPoker]

Is the highest level 70 or can you go to 100?
