dl links? Of the game? Uhh they're right here

and there's a torrent on Nyaa, not sure if it is well seeded though.


Personally, I dropped the game at the Lingering Summer Heat final boss.

>>11826919
I'm about to drop it against Iku, no matter how much res i have it's always insta-death
I'm in despair

>>11826990
>drop it
sorry

To be fair I don't remember how I defeated her, I think that I spammed hard defense moves like Alice's Little Legion and Reimu's barriers while dishing out as much damage as possible

>>11826990
I don't remember what I did exactly but >>11827011 would probably work. Barriers and slap some instant-death resist on Alice while she uses little legion.

I stopped playing sometime during the expansion, myself. Perhaps I'll pick it up again.

>>11826919
Come on you can't drop it right at the end.

>>11827057
well, my HD died, so I would have to start all over again...
instead of doing that, I usually just listen to the OST a bit.

>>11826901
>>11827011

Wow finally! thanks for the advice, Reimu's barriers are really useful

>>11827084
That sucks. And yeah the OST is fantastic. The final boss theme is one of my favorite songs, period. OUT is great as well.

Also the sprites in this game are amazing. So expressive. I'd post happy Sanae or hat-eating Remi as an example but my own HD died.

But really the trend of sprites trading expressiveness for HD is a shame. For example DoD and NoR just don't have the personality GoS sprites do.

>>11827328
grats! Her barriers are near useless early on but they're irreplaceable later in the game. Also welcome to the worst stage in the game.

>>11827328
The next boss is even more annoying. Enjoy your stones.

>>11827797
Really? Land abuse made her trivial.

>>11827832
I hated it. Though it's still better than many of the later bosses. I don't think there has ever been a game in which i spend so much time on the final boss.

>>11827856
Seriously. That bitch took me days. Finally beating then was immensely satisfying.

oh GoS. Last summer I got this game. Had a great time playing till I got to kanako. Kept trying to beat her in a silly war of attrition all the while convincing myself that "there was no way death would work on a boss. I mean its possible, but highly highly unlikely" every game. Mfw when I try it after my like, third day fighting her and it works
Mfw a few days later my computer breaks
Mfw all that touhou and other various doujin progress lost.

Luckily I also beat Yume Nikki a couple days before, so I didn't have to fret about that
I still have the hard drive to my old laptop. I should yank it and retrieve the file

>>11828331
The game actually crashed at the ends of the credits when i did it. Luckily, the game still counted it as finished and i didn't have to do it again. For a few momemts i was extremely worried.

That game used to crash all the time. I had to fight Tenko twice because of it.

I'm stuck on level 18, haven't played it in a few months. What are some recommended mobs to grab skills with Satori from?

Does anyone know how to beat Stage 26's boss? That Refresh/Elixir/Raise Dead shit is just too much for me. Nothing beats the rage of having like 50k HP healed in an instant and you can't even seen a blip of MP move.

>>11828496
Which boss is that exactly? It's been a while.

>>11828505
Wait, scratch that. I never got that far.

>>11826901

>>11829084
every time

>>11829094
the game had so many enemies which looked manageable at first glance and turned out to be rapetrains after 2 turns.

>>11827747
>mokou vs man-eater

Why is she so perfect?

>>11826901

I thought GoS is another name for YOUMU EASY GAME GG FINAL BOSS ALLY KKKKK

>>11829658
whoa

Whoa

WHOA

...
that was a funny spoiler dude

>>11829658
are you drunk even with an optimal setup it's a bit of a crapshoot

That feel when you will never see the translation finished in your lifetime.

>>11826990

Give Alice Electric Runestone, it makes her immune to Shock, which Elekiter Dragon Palace requires to cause Instant Death. Then use Little Legion to guard everybody else. On the very first turn, Iku will use her Dragon Palace combo after her Static Bullets, and from then on she'll use it again somewhere between the second and fifth turns. If you're only using Alice to cover everybody, it can be very dicey to predict the exact turn Iku will come down on you again. Otherwise, you can alternate between Reimu's White Tiger Stripe (I believe?) Barrier to cancel any effects that may be caused on that turn to cover the group while Little Legion is on CD.

If you are trying to get Mad Thunder with Satori, things can likewise get a little more complicated. I managed the fight and getting Mad Thunder on my second attempt, so I was lucky.

As for bringing Iku down, have Byakuren in the party and cast Dark Sword on Sakuya or Youmu depending on your preference then just tear away. Iku should drop in pretty short order especially if you use a weapon with Slay Aquatic.

>>11827328

Oh, my reply was way too late. You already brought her down right after. Sorry about that.

>No Satori

Goodbye, easy Mad Thunder.

I'm at the expansion, getting my 2hus back, on my Alice-less playthrough.
Currently on hold due to Nightmare of Rebellion, though.

>>11833302
> Alice-less
I've never bothered to ask: how the fuck do you make this work?

>>11829858
She never even used the move when I fought her. I was kinda mad.

>>11833780
It's a lot easier than it might seem.
The only Nightmarish part was the final pre-expansion boss, but with a bit of luck I made it through.
If you can exploit the bosses weaknesses, tank with other characters (Aya, Reimu and Mokou did great), and know what's going to happen, it's doable.

I kind of wish new characters joined at levels that isn't 1.

>>11833784

Like I said, I just got lucky. Everything worked out just right for me on the second attempt. Also, I thought this thread had been pushed off the board.

>>11838803

At least there's always the Commander slot for safe catch-up work. It's how I keep bringing Aya up to speed, I have not ever found a use for her yet and I'm on Stage 15. It makes me kind of sad. I hear about how she's a great evasion tank and all, but most enemies have enough tricks that the Evade stat in no way protects you from their legitimately dangerous abilities, and they use them often enough that Aya just isn't able to survive.

Mokou, likewise, was a bit tricky to use as a standard tank. Balancing her available skill points between defensive and offensive options to take advantage of her strike-back effects never seemed to work out for me.

Meanwhile, Alice is designed from the ground up to cover for the group in a variety of ways, so it's just plain easy to use her. On the bright side, Mokou has a niche currently as a spear-wielder doing pretty good damage on my team to stab-weak enemies.

>>11839352
Mokou can handle the first few phases of the final boss all by herself.

>>11839379

Do you have a build guideline of any sort and some suggested equipment for getting that sort of result? Like Aya, she has a tendency to bite it fast in spite of her good Health pool and better defense.

Wow! Tenshi was a lot easier than Iku, i beat her at my third try

>>11826901
I'm at the underwater temple, at the boss fight. Any suggestions on how I should split my team to take out all three bosses? My Aya, Nitori, and Sanae are all a little underleveled...

Why is Aya so useless?

>>11840465
Sluts are always useless

>>11840465
You don't use her properly.

>>11840520
Fuck you, dude.

I beat this with Mokou,Youmu,Sanae,Reimu and Sakuya. All evenly leveled and switched in whoever else for certain bosses. I never used Alice,Satori, or the purple haired hag.

>>11840371
Toss Mokou+1 at the poison sewing needle maid, she'll love spamming Volcano at her. Sakuya is nice for this. You'll want to kill her fast before she does anything dumb like that 10000 needle attack and murders Mokou.

Use Reimu to block the first attack of the octopus maid, then throw a bunch of thunder stuff at her. Nitori is excellent for this. Gear up on evasion or whatever for tentacles, or just hand in someone good into Hinotori/Poison Shield to suck up all the blows.

Hyper Fang Crush can be learned from the shellfish maid, but it's not exactly that great. Neither is Vortex. Beat her up with standard magic, and have Alice absorb the random shit she charges up for.

I beat all three in that order because shortest to longest fight. Leveling up isn't that much of a deal. Trapezohedron gun for Nitori is excellent if you feel that you need it.

>>11840465
Weird, Aya is my physical build character for up to Chapter 5, but that's only because I was lucky enough to get a pretty good drop for her I suppose.

>>11840857
She's only useful as a commander, her Paparazzi skill is almost a must in every boss battle

>>11842444
she's spectacular against physical enemies, dodge absolutely everything. I never tried it, but I'm sure you can combine this with inflicting Berserk on enemies.
Also, her attacks are cheap and fast. One Anon in the previous threads said that he absolutely went to town by slapping a Death inflincting weapon on her.

Just as you said though, her commander ability is priceless. Hell, you can prevent the enemy from moving by combining it with Private Square, which pretty much makes this work like Quicktime. I killed the final boss thanks to this.

>>11842604
*Berserk and Great Confusion. I think both cause you to use exclusively physical attacks

>>11842604
Don't forget using it in conjunction with Lithos in the postgame with Aging Drizzle/Cosmic Supercluster. The best farming of all time.

>>11827084
I feel your pain. I forgot to back up after reformatting a year ago and lost my save. I think I was on chapter 17 if that's the water temple where you split into 3 groups. Gonna pick the game up again and try not using Alice

Guy whose saves died with the HD here again. My God, I'm getting back on Mr. Bose's wild ride.

Maybe I'll try out getting Byakuren&Mokou later this time. Kaguya&Eirin will probably push my shit in, again.

Is Satori viable? i learned a couple of monster's spells from stage 1 to 8 on her but her mana runs out pretty quickly, in my opinion Patchy and Marisa (and also Hijiri) are the best magic-damage dealers and they never run out of mana.

How can i make Satori viable? Also I'm currently at stage 16

>>11847731
don't bother, just play Patchouli

>>11847663
mind control kaguya
buff the fuck out of yourself
push eirins shit in
???
gg no re

>>11840537
>I beat this with Mokou,Youmu,Sanae,Reimu and Sakuya.
>not the entire roster

quit lying
you didn't make it past eintewi

>>11848016

Not that guy, but I beat Twei with my incredibly lower leveled party using only luck. Cleared the two parts of the labyrinth with the main party, it was just a matter of trying again and again. I think I debuffed her so she almost never hit me, using Byakuren.

>>11847731
at that part of the game Satori's pretty good at disabling enemies with Mind Blast, Petrify Breath and Wail (inflicts Death) and maybe healing a bit with Area Heal.

You can learn pretty powerful spells near the final boss, but it's a hassle. Her truly fearsome attack spells appear in the expansion.

I don't mind grinding for exp, but how do I get easy Power?
I'm at Eineintei.

>>11848173
Also, can you grind for easy power later on in the game? I think that's making the characters I don't use extremely underpowered in the long run.

>>11848173
easy power is just beating up low level enemies since unlike exp, it doesn't scale to level

I just started playing this game. Am I supposed to just all the characters unique weapons or am I supposed to use the generic weapons?

>>11848625

I use only the unique weapons, don't really see a reason not to.

>>11847731
Satori a pretty good damage dealer if you can get the right spells, but she's better at status. Got some damn good heal and support spells too.
Her versatility is what makes her so good, but you gotta work for it.

>>11829094
You make me so happy.

>>11848625
Some unique weapons are good, some aren't. Don't assume something's better just because only Reimu can use it.

>>11848173
If you keep rotating party members around and use the commander slot, you shouldn't need to grind exp. Key word shouldn't.

It's been awhile, but I'm pretty sure everyone gains power, in your party or not. Inactive members might get a little less, but it shouldn't amount to much.
Don't grind power unless you hate yourself.

>>11848890
How can i control enemies to learn healing spells?

>>11849060
You need to charm or control them the turn they were going to use the spell so they cast it on you instead, and it has to hit Satori.
Charmed or controlled otherwise can't use support spells for some reason.

It's tricky, but worth it. Stuff like Area Heal, Leaf Shield, and Starlight Barrier are what really make Satori so awesome.

>>11849120
Too bad she runs out of MP almost instantly

I feel bad about never finishing this game. I think the last boss I beat was reimu's turtle but I stopped because it was melting my grafix card for some reason. also I was getting discouraged because enemies were so strong that I was having to bomb through random encounters and I was like 20 levels away from learning stronger spells.

>>11849173
Does she?

>>11849174
Using bombs is fine, especially in the endgame. You've got 12 characters; if one runs out of resources, switch them out.

>>11849180
I had fixed party setups that I would use so characters would have the exact same xp values

>>11849195
Weird.

>>11849210
Not really, I also did that and kept and evenly leveled party even though I never used most of them.

>>11849120
Charm spells?

Quick question: does Sakuya's death resistance growths affect just herself or the entire party?

>>11852473

Probably just herself.
Is Death a Permanent or Quick status change? I think it's Quick.

>>11852495
I believe it's considered Permanent, even though Quick would make more sense.

And yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks though.

>>11848901
They don't gain power and I didn't rotate characters ;_;
I'm fucked.

>>11853150

Inactive characters do gain power, but at about half the rate. You're not screwed yet, just do some grinding up of your people with the ones that need grinding in the commander slot if they are low-leveled

I kind of stopped at stage 20. I might pick it up again.

Eventually it feels like they shove way too many random battles in your face. It seems like you start walking through narrow corridors with like 3-6 enemies in them and it starts to get ridiculous.

Level 19 is of course a nightmare and level 20, while not too bad actually, just got kind of boring for me. I think that from Tenshi's level onward the game starts to feel like a real drag. Great game otherwise. I kind of want to get to lingering summer heat just for the additional characters but right now I'm not motivated.

>>11853195
I can agree with there being way to many enemies in most late-game levels. Not stage 20, though. That stage is awesome.

>>11853195
Once you feel the need to get the items that drop on level 21, you'll quickly see that there are not nearly enough enemies on that floor.

>>11853195
Do it for stage 21, at least. That place is the shit.

Also sometimes you just feel like rolling through places and don't give a shit about enemies. Pick up some high-Lives people and run at every turn. S'not difficult to clear 20 pretty quickly.

At the end of Stage 27. I just feel so... unmotivated to continue, given that there are so many collectible things at this stage. Final boss a shit, I just want to collect big powerful swords and ultimate equipment.

If I duplicate exp+ accessories and equip 3 on each party member, does it stack?

>>11853278
I have just about all of the best items and i have yet to actually try beating the final boss.

Mokou's LW splash is too lewd

What does those yellow "F" items do?

Holy fuck this stage... I don't want to play anymore

>>11854516
The character it goes to gets a temporary buff to all stats.

>>11826919
Anyone see a lot of broken files in the archives?

>>11854990
It's not that bad. Guard against water, hit weaknesses.

Is there anyway to increase the rate of Last Word. I feel like I almost never get one unless it's a boss battle where I'll get maybe one

>>11855811
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=5U2wnxYg

Shit that was hard, also the crab girl was cute

Does anyone know of a list for Satori's learned skills that goes through which stage has monsters that give skilsl, rather than what enemy gives which skill?

Does the status magic tree affects Byakuren's charm and control spells? Or is it the casting tree?

I want to train my Satori for stage 18

>>11855906
It's not hard to search by stage?

>>11855958
IND affects status infliction, including charm/control. So status magic.

>>11858029
Sorry, do you mean there's a page somewhere that has a list for what I'm asking for? If so, I guess I'm just blind then.

With the wiki, I'm only seeing a list of skills that she's able to learn and which monsters give it (And only for stages 6+) Is there something I'm missing, or can she not learn any skills from stages 1-5?

>>11858565
now that you mention it, it seems there is no such list, even on the Japanese wiki.

I would just get (some of) the recommended spells listed here http://en.touhouwiki.net/wiki/The_Genius_of_Sappheiros/Characters/Satori_Komeiji

For some reason though the editors didn't mention Punish the Judgment there, which I consider Satori's best spell

>>11860332
Is it a good damage spell to replace Medoroa until bombs run out? I'm trying to see about beating the final expansion boss. That thing has resists and evasion up the ass.

>>11860546
to be fair I never got Medoroa and don't know how good it is, but I've seen that with PtJ it's pretty easy to get 5-digit damage with full Light Land. And it has 0 Cooldown, like Byakuren's and Reimu's spellcards. They make a fun sweeping team.

>>11829746
you could learn japanese in your lifetime

I just started playing this a week ago... I just cleared stage 10 after like, 23 hours of game play. I'm wondering if there's any way I could speed this progress up; bosses are way too cheesy.

Ie, Yuyuko death-bombing your entire team right before she dies. Oh man, the surprise I had against Satori when she healed herself to full with a elixir. I thought after dealing with Satori, Eiren and Kaguya would be easy. I didn't know one of them could revive another, so you have to kill both at the same time.... Then I forgot to time Sayuka's field effect to stop healing and they dual healed to full... So recasting the same field effect does nothing, as opposed to refreshing the CD...

Also, grinding is pretty hard too. After stage 9, I've started to switch out my characters to last longer in dungeons. After I'm oom with everyone, I just log out, go to the shrine, then run through the dungeon again... Surely there's a more efficient way than this?
Marisa is the only character that mine that doesn't oom.

Also, is it worth it to make custom items/armor for specific characters? I've only made the 1st tier,then skipped the 2nd/3rd. I can go ahead and make stuff from Youkai mountain rock now, but I'm not sure if I should save the materials

>>11861348
Yuyuko was pretty cheap... I can't argue with that

bosses who were susceptible to Permanents pissed me off a bit - I didn't find it satisfying to win that way. And the Final Boss encounter takes a looooong time. Depending who you ask, that's either great or cheap padding.

There are many ways to go about random battles without using too much MP, like just parrraring with Alice and attacking with status inflicting / highly damaging weapons. Though I consider it faster to blast your strongest spells and just go recharge at the shrine more often, after all it takes a while for the enemies to respawn.

The physical attackers can benefit much more from the custom weapons due to Slayer effects and great tree bonuses, while magical weapons aren't much more useful than the standard stuff you find in stages. I almost never created custom armors until the endgame. Making accessories like Awakened Soul however is absolutely essential.

I love the Kusanagi. Slick, black.

>>11861437

Oh god what.... Bosses can be berserked, confused , poisoned, charmed, ect? I don't ever use Byukaren or Satori because it doesn't feel like they do a lot of damage. But it makes since considering Mokou could silence/burn/curse them.

I've realized the strength of Sanae, though. Put her in a party with Alice and cast matk up, pdef up, res up, and eva up. Then save a slot for her last word and shit is downright ridiculous. I was pretty adamant about not using her, as well.

Yeah, blasting your strongest spells is so much more satisfying. I love it when using Mokou's curse or flying phoenix and she double casts it and silences/curses/burns everyone. Too bad she only has like, 5 bombs.

I guess I'll go check out accessories and get custom weapons for the slayer effects. Thank god for Sayuka's weapon in stage 9; made shit so much easier.

>>11861482
Some of them can. Not all. They can all be debuffed, though, which tends to be a very effective strategy. Byakuren is really, REALLY good for boss fights.
Yes, Sanae's good. An incredibly useful character, and gets downright broken with a certain spell down the road.

>>11861495

I'm assuming it's Satori for normal mobs and Byukaren for boss fights?

I think the only time I used Byukaren was against Tewi. I put Marisa, Sanae, Satori, Patchoulli, and Byukaren with Nitori as commander.(Only Marisa/Sanae was needed, really, Patchoulli put some extra damage and Satori/Byukaren were there to dick around).

Stage 9 was a really clever move on part of the developers; I probably would have never strayed from my original roster otherwise.

Also, does Patchoulli eventually get stronger than Marisa? Marisa's master sparks have 1 sec CD with ridiculous damage once you put a ton points into laser and power. I think with Patchoulli's commander spell and Sanae's m.atk boost and last word, one master spark did 3k damage each to both Kaguya and Eiren. It was pretty sweet.

AlicexMarisa is my OTP in this game; ridiculous tank with ridiculous DPS.

>>11861521
it's hard to say who has stronger spells, Patchouli has critical spells, Marisa more raw MATK and slaying spells. Both have double spellcasting.

Patchouli however fills Land extremely fast and can manipulate it well.
Also, she seems to be at least good at deflecting magic, while Marisa is wet paper without Alice's help or a buff.

>>11861533

I should test out how much damage criticals damage do compared to regular attacks, thank god I got Youmu's crit thing recently.

Hm, do you have to have 25 points into a weapon to doublecast? I've had Nitori, Sayuka, Mokou, Youmu doublecast before, but never Patchoulli and Marisa.

Also, Patchoulli's land manipulation seems really useful but I'm not sure how to pull it off. I'll probably experiment later.

>>11861572
doublecast skills are in the "Magic Mushrooms" and "Spirit Magic" trees respectively. (Patchouli also needs to max out Land for an element to doublecast)

now that you mention physical double attacks, getting a double attack on something like Paschal Moon-Reflecting Satellite Slash or Blazing Phoenix is pretty fucking cash.

Holy shit man! This fucking stage 18
How can i make it through with 3 parties if only 4 characters can be in each one?

Truly a dick move

That reminds me; why does my game have no music?

Do I have to install the music separately then put it in a folder somewhere?

>>11828487
>>11829084

Thanks a lot, I just reached stage 11... Now I have to find ways to have Satori learn constrict.

Oh god, a GoS thread? Haven't seen one of those in a long time.
>>11847663
I did that in my last playthrough (I kind of forgot to continue before expansion Muenzuka, though), and it wasn't as hard as you think. Nitori together with Patchu's land manipulation is a murder machine.
>>11847731
If you get her the basic elemental spells and enough points in her learning growth tree, she's about as strong as Marisa with enough points in her elemental tree. She also has dark element magic, which helps a lot given how your only other option for that is Byakuren.
Have never tried to use her as a physical attacker, though, but apparently she can be pretty good.
>>11848012
Silly anon, the only mind control status spell you can use by then without Byakuren is Lunatic Voice. Berserkaguya
I guess you could get lucky with Satori's LW, too.
>>11861599
Specialized parties. The right side has things that are weak to light, dark and elec; the left side has Mind Flayers; the middle has a bit of everything and dragons that spam charm. The last time I used Satori/Reimu/Byakuren/Alice on the right, Nitori/Sanae/Youmu/(physical) Patch on the left, and Marisa/Sakuya/Aya/Mokou nuking everything in the middle. Try to get some 4 member formations too.

So /jp/, where can i farm 30 iron for the Kusanagi sword? is there a trick or something?

What formation do you guys use? I don't have them all yet but I only use the ones that boost my stats without penalty. Is that right or should I be using stuff like Konpaku-Sword Style?

>>11864270
>is there a trick or something?
Yes, it's called "install the expansion".

>>11864327
Hinotori sky dance with Alice in the middle constantly keeping agro on her with hourai doll, or poison shield with Alice in the front using marionette parrar on the back row every turn.

There are a few fights where you might want extra speed or resistance from other formations, but either of the two setups I mentioned will get you through 90% of the game no problem.

>>11864349
But i got patch 2.08. Does it mean that i already got the expansion?

>>11864327

I'm a scrub so I use free fight and have Alice guard everyone with marionette parrar.

Also, Kanako and Suwako's fight was kind of lame. Youmu literally killed them both. I was having tons of trouble, suddenly on one of my tries Youmu's normal attack insta-kills Kanako when she has full HP. Then her eternity blade does like 6k damage to Suwako. Suwako did nothing in terms of damage to Kanako as well. Then again, it probably would have taken me centuries to win this fight if Kanako didn't get insta-deathed. The only way to negate Kanko's damage was with Hijiri's p.atk down/m. atk down; Sanae's m.def up and def up literally did nothing.

>>11864507
That's Lingering Summer Heat expansion. You need Weekend (v 3.00 or 3.01)

>>11864537
And is weekend in this guy's (>>11826919) dl link?

>>11864565
yeap

>>11864574
Ok, downloading

>>11864537
>>11864565
>>11864574
>>11864579
So i just downloaded weekend and, what's this shiny numbers with some hits and spells? Are those new criticals, slayer effects or what?

>>11864886
as far as I know it means you hit a weakness. Criticals make the screen flash red, slayer effects green, and when both yellow

>>11864886
Yeah, something like that. Red - critical, yellow - slayer and I think green if both

>>11864886
Blue damage numbers mean that you hit a weakness.
>>11864921
>>11864924
There's also a blue flash for special slayers (once you get Reisen in the expansion you'll see a lot of those) that get purple if you crit with them.

>>11860546
Very yes. It's very helpful against form 1 and form 3 of the expansion's final boss.

Damn! the right side at stage 18 is fucked up, seriously

The other 2 parties made it without problems, but this... even i got 3 because Reimu run out of lives

>>11870628
The other 2 bosses are really easy, but the octopus girl is incredibly strong

Any tips?

>>11870628
Byakuren might be able to restore some of Satori's mana with her commander bombs... but honestly, I would just punch F12.

I think I included at least one 2hu with high PATK or a status inflicting weapon in each party just to save mana

>>11870917
>The other 2 bosses are really easy, but the octopus girl is incredibly strong
Use Sanae to buff your defenses and HP as fast as you can, meanwhile buff up Nitori and let her rip with her most powerful gun attacks.
You might want to put accessories for physical resistance and Blind immunity on her, because of the ink attack

I got so fed up with grinding to beat the final boss I just amped mokou's STR to infinty
on easy modo ;_;
Will the expansion tear me a new one with multiparty bosses again?

>>11872225
No shame, anon, easy modo doesn't work for bosses

turns out the strat with the Death inflicting axe (Golden Mattock) on Aya is pretty effective, especially with further IND increasing, such as Sakuya commander bomb.

What's your favorite way of dealing with them enemies? HARD MODE: no Lithos

>>11874269
Youmu's last word or spell spam with Marisa

>>11862625
I tried Physical Satori in a ton of ways.
She's very fun, but ultimately inferior to Magic and to other physical attackers.
Still very fun, though.

>>11874269
Petro breath + auto-battle for everything

>>11874269
Satori's mindblast or sweet breath + Reisen's aoe skill with permanent slayer.

>>11874269
Mokou's Curse + Reisen. Obliterated everything in the game.

Hello, I am glad that you have made a GoS thread. But I'm am sad.

I cannot find a way to get Elixir or Raise dead, even with my plans that forum the genius against enemies the game pushes me over and I cannot win the ability. Such as using the misfiring.

The only way that I have heard to receive the Elixir is by controlling a dragon I've not yet encountered and by making the Reimu level 90.

>>11876070
I learned it with control from a dragon in the final dungeon. It seems the dragon there and the quest dragon have different abilities to select when controlling them

Oh, a Sappheiros thread.
Just dropping in here to say how cathartic it was to beat the final boss of the expansion. Fuck that boss to hell for eternity. Every single girl was there for a reason and only when they did they best move I could finally beat the game.
I can just sit here and reminisce about the fight. It took me so long, damn.
Yes, I know you can cheese it with Satori.

Finally got around to beating Yuugi, it was a lot easier than I thought with good Alice equips and star sword+Volcano+Revolution
Where do I get a "drake scale" for that one OP as fuck accessory that reduces all magic damage?

I predicted that Kaguya&Eirin would fuck my shit AGAIN. I was right.

>>11876874

Well, I just got the Kusanagi.

Who should I have use it? It seems weaker than the character specific weapons. I'm barely starting stage 18

The hell of splitting your party

>>11881626
Kusanagi? Weak? Does 165 PATK and Dragon, Foreign God, Giant, Ghost, Transcendent slayer + 100 Exorcism sound weak to you?

I preferred it on Mokou, but the other silverhaired powerhouses are perfectly fine options.

>>11826919
I downloaded the 4 parts. extracted them and all but the game crashes as soon as I launch it.
Does anyone has any other download link?

>>11881978
did you extract them properly? For some dumb reason the .rars have endings like "part2.rar2" which fucks with unzipping. Remove the number at the end

>>11881978
>>11881987
When it has a number after the rar, that means if you extract the first one they'll all extract. However, it usually doesn't work so you just have to extract them as a group. Try changing your system locale and all that junk
>>11881842
Hm, guess it seemed weak because that stage had Sayuka's slayer effect on another weapon, but not the Kusanagi.

Also, stage 18 was such a bitch to get through. The bosses were pretty easy, but I already died twice on Kagami trying to get Satori Hyper Fang Crush

>>11882670
A fun thing that happens is that if you get through Kagami and get Hyper Fang Crush, and then die to a later boss, you get to keep the skill.

>>11882796
I think it's worth noting that in Weekend, you can get Hyper Fang Crush even if you forget about Kagami. Just repeat the final boss battle and stall until she shows up.
Good luck getting her to hit Satori and finishing the whole fight, though.

>>11887415
oh yeah, I've read that you can now redo the pre-expansion final boss.

How is it anyway? Is the encounter exactly the same? In that case I could see the final boss getting killed in one hit from one of your LVL 99 2hus

I never got to try it, but is it even possible to do that on a lower level as well? Like, when you attack twice thanks to a weapon skill, or when Byakuren lands PDEF down, or when you max out Formation bonuses with Alice. Or all of the above and more.

>>11887528
Grinding sounds like such a pain, though. I have no idea people can get to level 99 in this game; level 60~ or so is killing me.
>>11882796
Got it on my third try. I just now realized that I've played this game but missed out on a lot... Formations, slayer effects, poison, charm, Berserk, land effects, building anything but weapons...

I just use Alice with free fight, I have never poisoned/charmed/berserk'd anything, never bothered to try researching Slayer effects; I just use the latest weapon, and I haven't began maximizing accessories yet. Hell, I haven't even taught Satori anything but some lighting spells,Hyper Fang Crush, and Mad Thunder.

I'm nearly to the stage 20 boss and I'm starting to have trouble with the mobs; wondering if I should change up my party.

>>11887537
Instead of freefight I would recommend using Poison Shield. You get no offensive bonuses, but no defense reductions either. And it has a similar baiting effect for Alice (75% target probability). AND you can easily parrar the other 2hus.
Alice is exempt from the parrar effect then, but she can easily compensate with accessories.

>>11887537
Just play the game as usual. If you're on Weekend, because of how the experience scaling per stage changed, you should be able to get to around level 70 or 75 by the pre-expansion final boss, even without grinding while rotating your entire party. After the expansion, if you really want to grind, I think you can cheese the quest Mind Flayer (which is as weak to instant death as all other Flayers).
>>11887777
Poison Shield also either halves the damage or gives a chance to reduce the damage for the character at the front (I don't remember which), if they have already moved that turn. Since Parrar always goes first, this means Alice takes even less damage than the usual.

>>11888385

I guess I'll google how to get the Poison Shield formation then use that. This whole Mind Flayer cheese quest sounds awesome.

I'm assuming I just put Satori with some insta-death spell, Hijiri with Hyper Trigger, then 2 death-inducing physical attackers and Alice?

>>11888454
try using Sakuya's Killer World and then Aya's Wind God's Folding Fan, as seen here >>11874269


there's nothing funnier than killing EVERYONE with that alone.
After all this time I still don't know how exactly the death chance is calculated. All I know is that Youmu's LW is absurdly deadly.

Can't talk formations without bringing up how good Hinotori Skydance is.

>>11888469

Is the other death inflicting axe better or worse than the Golden Mattock? The other one has much higher P.Atk.

The executioner/this axe has beheaded a thousand people one

>>11888492
I would probably use both. One on Aya, the other on Asura Youmu.
Then again, Asura Youmu doesn't need Death inflict to tear everything to ribbons.

>>11888495

Funny you mention that; I just got Paschal and switched to Asura skills the last time I played.

Youmu is so great for bosses... I love putting her with Hijiri and just watching her tear through everything

>>11888495
Asura? Devaloka Youmu's bombs are 1 hit KO

>>11888492
http://pastebin.com/B1cviyUy
"Pr." column is basic probability (0 IND vs 0 RES, no modifiers):
>Golden Mattock │ Weapon (Crusher) │ 10 %
>Executioner │ Weapon (Crusher) │ 15%

>>11889895
if multiple factors cause instant death (like using Illusional Misdirection with the Executioner), do the chances stack or is it just the highest one?

Is there a super boss at the end of the very long dungeon at the end game? Because I was able to beat all those other "super bosses" at the start of the expansion.

I want a challenge plz.

>>11889975
No boss in that dungeon, just unique combinations of various enemies throughout the dungeon. Main challenge in there is managing recources. Hardest boss is the final boss of the expansion.

>>11889993

Thank you anon, I'll remember you when I'm fighting for my life.

That stage was one of the most bullshit things I've experienced in my recent gaming years.
I don't really mind if the boss is challenging but don't you dare to say there are more equally infuriating puzzle stages such as this.

>>11891461
Well, if you didn't understand the guide to that puzzle. You won't like the Gorgon face puzzle.

>>11891476
What stage is that?

>>11891461
I find that switch puzzle that stretches over 3 floors in Touhou Labyrinth a lot more annoying.

>>11891482
The one before the final stage pre-expansion so it will be some time before you see it.

>>11855880
The first encounter with the crab girl was one of the easiest in the game for me.
Went against her completely blind, no gear changes, no skill changes, no talent build, respecs, no party formation changes, no character changes...
Just went in and won on the first try. Nobody died, except the boss.

What versions are you people playing?

Trying to update from 3.00 to 3.01 here.

>>11899433
It's not worth updating from 3.00 to 3.01.
It's just some typo fixes and loser messages not showing up in the expansion.

>>11888495
>>11888698

I use Manyussa, put the stance up and it's 100% counter attack with a nice crit chance. Never really tried any other stance because Manyussa is so good.

>>11899490
The Asura stance is very nice for heavily charged OHKO moves. Use Byakuren and Sanae to buff Youmu up, while Youmu sets her stance and uses the Asura Strength skill.

Once those are set up, the next devastating bomb skill move is nothing to sneer at.
(2-3 buffs, elemental or light/dark weapon depending on enemy weakness, guaranteed critical hit = multi-thousand damage slash of DOOM)

I still haven't beaten the final boss.

>>11899792
Use Manyussa stand to win.

Did their games ever get a full english patch?
Devil of Decline was made by the same people, right?
I'm curious about the story.

>>11899806
How did you split your teams?

Every time I see one of these threads I want to LP this game, but then don't. Such a hassle.

>>11900574
Aya EVA tanking, Reimu using her barrier against Lithos, Mokou and Marisa murdering, Sanae making everything faster, Sakuya not doing anything as the commander for the first party; Alice tanking, Youmu killing, Patchouli making sure the lands stays neutral, Satori reflecting spells and supporting, Byakuren buffing, Nitori being useless as the commander in the second one. That's what I used last time and it was beautifully effective even when Mokou accidentally double casted Fuiyama Volcano and ended the second phase prematurely.
You could replace Satori with Sanae in the second party if you're worried about someone getting sniped at random.

>>11899792
Kusanagi on either Mokou, Sakuya or Youmu works wonders.

My second party had neither Alice nor Patchouli, Fire land was maxed so that Fujiyama volcano would massacre the final boss. They couldn't even absorb land due to my Private Square bullshittery

I don't see any NoR threads so I'll post it here, it looks like some guy managed to update the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS6hA9RPVmo

>>11905926
Looks like bullshit.
The Spanish description sounds like written by an 8 year old and makes no sense.
My bet is he just modified the System.ini file to display 1.1.2 in the window title and uploaded that video for the epik win.
Redirecting hachikuma.net to localhost is worth a try though, you never know. I'll try that someday.

Might try again later, but gave up on trying to get started on expansion.
Especially due to Insta-death Yuyuko with high IND and offensive Youmu support, and the Master-Spark Counter Marisa with Invincialice.

Final boss is luck more than anything IMO, especially if you're using Manyussa.
Timing with the turn cooldowns and trying to time it before the chant boost is just absolutely horrid.
Land power abuse first stage, use Patchouli to spam neutral land power, then hope to the luck gods that you will do enough damage not to lose.

>>11906380
Although he writes like shit he can actually read moonrunes and he's pretty good at the stuff he does.

Jesus Christ, those bosses gave me nightmares, especially Chihiro, that octopus boss.
Of course until I figured out that I should bring Patchouli along in that fight too.

The picture gives shows my final character set-ups for the teams.

>>11907795
Well I can read Jap too but that doesn't make me any less of a retard or any more skilled at bypassing DRM.
But if you say so, okay. I'll keep this bookmarked and try it when I feel like it.

>>11907907
The octopus boss was the easiest for me. You can beat her with Alice and Patchy alone if you have the right gear on Alice.

Our team split is actually pretty similar otherwise.

>>11908601
The thing is I didn't have Patchouli at first. I had Nitori, Alice and Satori only.
- Nitori couldn't put out enough dps.
- Nitori and Satori couldn't keep the water element at bay ---> Satori who didn't have a death resist amulet dies instant death ---> the only healer who dies in a prolonged battle is bad news
- I noticed that whenever I tried to change to my ELE bullets with Nitori, the boss would punish me with a powerful melee attack that would either paralyze or blind Nitori almost certainly
- Had to keep the blind and death guard on Alice too, so I didn't have enough amulets to protect everyone
- Even with max points in the right trees Nitori had a massive CD on her "Rage Eight/Radiate" (the first one being a mistranslation, thank you, Engrish), which didn't even really hit the boss, unless she had the best accuracy amulet and the boss had Satori's evasion debuff on ---> Nitori could only hit once or twice with her best damage ability ---> it's not enough dps

So Patchouli really helped me to keep the deadly effects of the boss's water element spells when she joined the fray. Basically I just nuked the boss with fire instead of lightning.

>>11908633
I equipped anti-blunt(?) gear on Alice and had her cover Patchouli the whole battle.

At the beginning I used Alice's water-RES up bomb and Patchouli's Hot Spot Vulcan to reduce the damage of her opening move. From there you just keep spamming electric moves while covering Patchy.

But it doesn't matter I guess, whatever you did worked out for you.

>>11908633
Nitori is shit

>>11908647
The thing about that is, if you don't counter the water element, it will continue to induce instant deaths later on too.

>>11908785
Use that thing to change the element of her weapon (which means you need a good gun) and use an attack of the corresponding element, preferably backed up by Patchouli's elemental fields.
Then watch as everything is brutally murdered.

>>11910742
I only did something like ~ 300-550 x5 lightning damage against the octopus boss without Pachouli. It was pretty pathetic, compared to what Mokou did against blow fish boss (11k+ hits). Even Youmu could at least get about four 2-3k hits in one try.

Anyone 8+ want to just brute force to rank 10 with me?

>>11870917
You thought they were easy?

Shit man, i cant beat them, whats your strategy? parties, builds, etc.

These bosses are the biggest problems ive had in this game.

>>11911370
It's been so long, but...Mokou can almost solo the needle maid, Reimu's barriers can handle the shellfish(?) maid, and the octopus...I dunno, use a real boss party or something. She's a cunt.

>>11911370
Blowfish is pretty much luck based on whether or not she uses 1000 needles. Use Mokou.

Shellfish isn't all that hard. Bring magic of course.

For Octopus I did >>11908647
Make sure you have the right equipment on Alice.

You should have good spells on Satori too, starlight barrier is a godsend.

>>11911408
You might get unlucky with Mokou, especially if you try to solo it.

>>11910779
Well, Mokou is a beast, so comparing anyone to her doesn't work too well.
As for Nitori's damage, I believe it works better with her elemental spells (if her weapon is enchanted with the same element) than with Radiate. Her physical chasers are absolutely amazing too, the elemental ones don't seem as good though.

being easiest boss is suffering.

Can anyone upload a pre-patched version of Nightmare of Rebellion up to 1.06?
The new patch goes straight from 1.00 to 1.13, and I think the Chinese Virus still doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Also about Nightmare of Rebellion. Was working fine couple of days ago. Now as soon as I open it. I get this.

"Sagiri Resolution System Launcher has stopped working."

Does anyone know how to fix this Issue?

this is my Lakebed Temple clearing party. They are very balanced and with Byakuren as a commander they can last forever.
