DizzyWaddleDoo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 (edited) This is my first try at doing one of these screenshot LP things, so I thought I should do something simple. Feedback is very appreciated. Rules: Lute is the only character who may fight (duh). The only units who may be deployed are Lute, Colm or Rennac (for thief utility only), any unit needed to recruit another unit, any forced units, and Tethys (maybe. See below). All units must be recruited. If multiple units can recruit a unit, I can choose which one to use (for example, either L'arachel or your main lord can recruit Rennac, so I can choose which to recruit him with). In the Prologue and chapters 1, 2, 3, and 5x, since I don't have Lute anyone can be used. Arenas, Skirmishes, The Tower, and The Ruins can not be used to grind. Non-Lute that fit into one of the categories in rule 2 can visit villages, shops, and armories. Whether I go on Eirika's route or Ephraim's Route will be voted on in a poll. If a loss condition is met, I must restart the chapter. This will be on difficult mode. No using other units for meatshields. Eirika and Artur can be used in chapter 4 until Lute is recruited. I must try to recruit Lute as quickly as possible though. Loss Conditions:Any character dies. Any character is not recruited. Any character other than Lute attacks or counterattacks an enemy (even if it does 0 damage or misses)(unless the unit is currently green or red). Any character other than Lute uses a staff. Tethys: I'm not sure whether I should use Tethys or not. On one hand, you could say that Tethys dancing could make the game less of a solo, but on the other hand, you could say that it would be more challenging because I'd have to protect Tethys with only one unit. Decide in the poll. That's about it. I'll probably update this once a week, maybe twice. Depends on school stuff. The first update should come sometime this weekend, and I'll try to fit the first 3 chapters and the prolouge into it, so we can get to the real challenge quickly.

NinjaMonkey Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Given that Lute is recruited in Chapter 4, isn't a Lute solo impossible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carter Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Yay a Lute-only playthrough! Not only is Sacred Stones the best Fire Emblem, but Lute's the best FE8 character out there! Good luck, and I'll be following this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewtifulBo Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'd say either route would be fine but you'd have a slightly easier time with Ephriam's route for reasons. No Tethys because while she's helpful normally like any dancer/bard/heron is, in a Lute Solo, not so much just because you'd have a tough time protecting her with just one unit.

Elieson Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 By the time you reach Tethys, Lute should be destroying the game anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBM Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 ^ I don't really feel as if Tethys is necessary. She can't even give stat boosts or anything so... However, how is C15 going to work? Regardless of which route you take, I don't think it's possible to get to the other end of the map fast enough to prevent the other lord from getting into combat. Or, well, it might be possible on Eirika route since Ephraim comes as a reinforcement but then I'm not sure you'd be able to protect Eirika.

Refa Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Honestly, all of the chapters up until like 7 seem impossible to me (not counting the free chapters even)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passionfruit Cappuccino Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Well, i dont think its really possible to solo the game (chapter 18 will be especially difficult. if you make it that far), but good luck with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tequila Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 How is chapter 4/5 going to work? I don't think you have enough Fire uses to even complete 4, much less get to the shop in 5. Perhaps add a proviso that in 4 Lute must be used as much as possible and then anything goes, and Vanessa is allowed to fetch Fires in 5?

Elieson Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Also make an amendment for Chapter 4, as Lute doesn't join immediately, and you cannot possibly get to the village without /someone/ being attacked (even if you rescue Eirika/Artur with Vanessa, and carry them to the village). Enemy - Land coverage is too much, and the aggros mean that someone at the top will get hit. That, and you have 2 mandatory deployment characters, but only 1 flier.

Tequila Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Oh yeah, I forgot about the prep screen shop. EDIT: I'm trying this out on a whim; Ch 4 wasn't bad, but trying to avoid getting Eirika and Natasha killed AND save all the villages in 5 is pretty damn hard. Took a few rigged dodges. Currently stuck on 11 Ephraim mode; Lute's killing everything (of course) but it's (so far) impossible to prevent Ephraim from getting wrecked by gargoyles and mogalls.

DizzyWaddleDoo Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 So I have the prologue done, but I'm having trouble getting the pictures to work in a post. Could someone tell me how to put pics in a post? It would also be nice if someone could tell me how to put words into the parentheses next to the show spoiler button.

Elieson Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) {spoiler='Spoiler Title'} words {/spoiler} Replace the { } with [ ]. Also, when loading in pictures, use the code {img}HTTP://WEBSITE.COM/IMAGE1010101.jpg{/img} You MUST have the .png, .jpg, or .gif for the image to load in. Edited September 5, 2014 by Sara.

DizzyWaddleDoo Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Thanks. Prologue will be up in a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyWaddleDoo Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 The Prologue is here! I'll be focusing on Eirika until I get Lute. [spoiler=Prologue] *obligatory title screen picture* Difficult eh? I'll be the judge of that. Blah blah blah, skip skip skip. Chapter 0! It's always bad news, never any good news. (accidentaly skipped the rest of the castle scene. Whoops.) I'm sure they'll be able to spare tons of troops. I'm not sure Eirika likes doing it that way, but whatever. No... Whoa Valter, I don't think Seth is quite ready for something that intimate yet. 'Tis but a flesh wound! Valter's been on that wyvern for too long. He doesn't understand that horses can't fly. You just had to open your mouth Seth. Gimme that vulnerary! Hooray for chokepoints! Really!? He hit with a 39!? You deserve that crit Eirika. Sweet revenge! At least one of them missed. What are vulneraries anyway? Why can't we see what's in the bag! 14 crit working wonders. Thanks captain obvious! Convenient forest is convenient. Two people have already died dude. Something Eirika can't double? 0/10, would not play again. That had to hurt. He hit with a 25... of course, why wouldn't he hit? Well, now he's dead. At least she got resistance? That's probably from earlier when you told her to get behind you. I told you she doesn't like it like that. No, THIS IS SPARTA!!! What did you think it would be, flowers and cotton candy? It's simple. They did it because SPOILERS REDACTED. Only half of that is going to work out. I know I said I would try to get Prolouge through Chapter 3 done today, but that was before I knew how long this took. I should have much more time to do this tommorow though, so look forward to that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyWaddleDoo Posted September 6, 2014 Author Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) No update today. I did beat chapter 1, but it took over an hour, and it put me in a such a bad mood that I really don't feel like putting in all 60+ pictures right now. The update will come soon. I think for the next two chapters I'll let people other than Eirika fight as well. Maybe then it won't take so long.

DizzyWaddleDoo Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Update time! So I decided that I'll be updating this once a week, probably on Saturdays. Since I know these first few chapters are going to be boring thanks to no Lute, I've decided to skip them, as well as 5x. The level ups from chapters 1-3 and 5x will be shown in this post. The levels from chapter 1 are up currently, and the levels from chapters 2 and 3 will be up sometime this week. Chapter 4 will come in one week, on the 20th of september, and then we'll finnally have Lute! Chapter 2 levels are here. Chapter 3 levels are here. [spoiler=Chapter 1 Levels] Eirika Level 3 Eirika Level 4 Eirika Level 5 Eirika Level 6 [spoiler=Chapter 2 Levels] Franz Level 2 Eirika Level 7 [spoiler=Chapter 3 Levels] Garcia Level 5 Franz Level 3 Colm Level 3 Eirika Level 8 Moulder Level 4 Colm Level 4 Eirika Level 9 Edited September 16, 2014 by DizzyWaddleDoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
