Screenshots Shin Patch Pseudo-Blind Run

[Shin]

I can't wait until you get to chapter 4, I think I did something there!

[Enaluxeme]

Yup, you added a forest between Silesia and the last castle. Also changed the normal enemies a bit.

[Enaluxeme]

With Elthsan's departure, we can go kick Shagaal's butt once and for all!

[spoiler=kicking Shagaal's butt (once and for all)]

Makind Eltshan leave the battlefield triggers this conversation earlyer than killing him and all the crossknights.

Hmph. Maybe these mercenaries I hired will do more for me than those other imbeciles. Alright. You know what to do!

I really don't understand how can Shagaal pay all these mercenaries. You would think that a kingdom's treasury is in the capital?

And here they are, the infamous thracian dragon knights. I heard I'll fight many of them in the endgame.

Set your sights on Grandbell's army, and give it to 'em as severely as you please. Let the name of Thracia echo across the land!

The end of the chapter isn't near at all, so it's time for a few promotions.

Using the Return staff is quicker than going in the castle normally, and Ethlin nets a level in the process:

HP - MAG - DEF

She's getting a good amount of magic, maybe her growths are actually higher?

These two ladies deal with the remaining cross knights, and Lachesis gets a level:

HP - STR - DEF

Nice.

Lachesis can't finish the knight off, but Alec helps.

To Silvail we go!

So that's what he's up to!

Damn, I use that village to protect Briggid, and even then sometimes she gets killed, I hope she'll survive just with Fury's help.

This General is difficoult to deal with. He has a Killer Axe and a Slayer Lance, and he's also backed up by two Armor Knights with Javelins. Holyn with an axe is probably your best bet. Level-up:

HP - SKL - STR - SPD - LCK

Why do you only have conversations with Ayra? WHY?

Promotion time!

Finally Aideen can fight!

3 SKL - 2 SPD - 5 MAG - 2 DEF - MDF

Not only she gets a C in all Anima magic and one more Staff rank, she also gets a B in Light. I always found strange that High Priests couldn't use Light magic but Sages could.

She immediately buys the Light tome Deirdre sold and fights a bit in the arena, gaining a single level:

SKL - SPD - DEF

She's good!

Jamka promotes too, but he cleared the arena already.

5 SKL - 5 STR - 2 SPD - 3 MAG - 4 DEF - 5 MDF

He needed that 5 skill. Wait... C swords?

GoddamnHolynwhydon'tyouhaveaconversationwithBriggid

The two Javelyn guys are dispatched, leaving the General wounded and alone.

He reached the village

I managed to weaken the General enough to kill him with Dew. Level:

HP - DEF

I'm ok with this. Just get to level 20 already.

Aideen only needed promotion for the arena: she's not going to kill many things since she won't get much exp and is more useful as a healer anyway. That's the level:

HP - SKL - SPD

Lana (or is it Mana?) will appreciate those high stats.

We meet the mounted knights near Silvail and start dealing with them.

The dragons, they are... Ugly.

And here's Levin's level:

HP

Damn you Levin! You are supposed to be a good unit!

Feeding

Trust me, you have nothing to laugh for.

Prepare to feel the terror that is the Thracian Dragon Knights!

For the first time ever, Ayra and her effective sword fail to kill their target. Her future husband finish him instead.

Yeah, yeah.

At least he can be useful. He also gets a level:

HP

Nvm, he's still worthless.

Just a little bit more...

Ethlin may actually reach level 30 without massive staff abuse for the first time ever.

Good. I noticed that Love critical always overrides Bro Support criticals. Level-up:

HP - STR - SPD - DEF

Look who remembered he can get more than 2 stats.

Farewell, King Shagaal... Y'fool.

Bye bye.

What was this guy doing here? Doesn't matter.

Fury starts her expedition to help some people who haven't appeared yet.

Now only Shagaal remains. Level-up for Fin:

LCK

...

Healing round, Ethlin gets a level-up:

HP - SKL - STR - SPD

Thank you for not disappointing me.

Lachesis gets a level from healing too:

HP - STR

Meh, I can live with that.

The fun may begin.

Cuan was surrounded by supporting units, bun failed to get a critical.

And fails again in the next turn.

Stop avoiding my attacks Shagaal.

And the limit is reached. Fury will just sit there in the middle of the sea watching a pirate loot a village.

He needed that. I think it's +1 DEF, unless Shin changed that. I didn't take a screenshot.

Cuan just won't activate critical when I need it, so Sigurd will replace him.

You're a despicable person!

Idiot! You don't know what you're talking about! Die, Sigurd!!

He manages to damage him quite a bit, and also gets a level:

HP - STR - DEF

It's good, but... Where's his speed?

Will she get the final blow?

She does!

And that is the last time we see Shagaal, smited by divine power!

By the way, I would really appreciate a list of growths. I'm taking the ones shown here from an old gamefaq post.

[Enaluxeme]

Hello! I'm updating!
Eventually, I'll update the other LP thread too.

[spoiler=Appendix dominating death]
We start the update with a level, nice!
HP - STR - SPD - DEF
And it's a good one, too.


Also, um... Shanan's here. He must have had a good reason to leave Agusty. He says he needs to speak with you.


What's up? You're crying. What happened!?
Deirdre left the castle and never came back. She said she was going to see you! I'm sorry! I promised you I'd watch out for her...
What? Deirdre left!? And what about Celice?
He's with me. See? He's right here. But Deirdre...
Shanan, don't worry. This isn't your fault. I'm going to find her.
But I shouldn't have let her go. I'm so sorry, Sigurd!




And finally, our first holy weapon!

Here.
Ah! The Gaebolg? How did you get it?
Your father gave it to me. He wanted me to give it to you if things got too out of hand.
Boy, I'm going to clean up shop with this! So... why did you wait until now?
Well, your father told me a bit about its history. I'm sorry, Cuan...
The legend of the Gaebolg... It's a sad story, but it’s nothing more than legend.
Yea, but...
Ethlin, trust me. Anyway, this battle's about over with. We can soon return to Lenster. We have to get back to our little Altenna.
Yes, we do. Cuan, no matter what happens, we'll never be apart, right?
Huh? You must be worried about Deirdre. But we'll find her soon.
Yeah, I want to think so, too. But...
Ethlin? Why are you crying? You think something bad's going to happen?
I'm just... It's so sad to think those two may never see each other again. They were so much in love. How could such a horrible thing happen to them!?
Ethlin...


So. Many. Words!

Them Grandbellians'll attack up this way 'fore too long. Whaddya reckon?
Dobarl! They're coming because you guys went behind my back and raided the villages! I won't have this insubordination!
Hey! Enough from ya! We tried lettin' ya lead us, but ya too power hungry! I've got news for ya sis. Ya ain't t'late cap'n's real daughter anyhow. Ya's jus' this cryin' lit'le girl on a ship we attacked. So th' cap'n decided t'raise ya himself. Then ya grew up 'n started orderin' us around. Makes me head hurt jus' thinkin' 'bout it!
What!? That can’t be...
But we've no use fer ya now. I believe t'is dyin' time fer ya.
Hold on! You're not taking me that easy, you rotten filth!

And so Brigid flees to the west. Too bad the village is being pilfered right now :/




Finally, geez!


As always, Brigid is capable of ORKO the pirates. Still, that 27% scares me.


We can't be messin' 'round here. If pirates showed up, they'd kill us fer sure.
I'm coming. By praying to Lord Blagi I've learned the truth behind what’s been happening. It's just as I thought it to be. I also found our family's Sacred Relic. It's been missing for some time. The Valkyrie Staff. Have a look.


Nice try, but you can't beat Sylvia. She likes it rough.

This staff here? It's magical and can return life to those who have passed on already. Only one descendant of Saint Blagi can use it, and that's me.
Hmm... So can it bring back my sweet grandma?
Well, no it can't. You see it has certain limitations, so it won't work on everyone. You see, we're all born with this life force. It's called 'Aegir' and...
Huh? You lost me. You're (yawn...) puttin' me t'sleep. Anyway, we don't got time for that stuff. We gotta get movin'!
Yes, you're right. Let's go.


Some level-ups by healing and dancing:
Ethlin:
HP - STR - SPD

Aideen:
HP - SKL - LCK

Sylvia:
HP - STR - SPD - LCK - MDF
Sylvia's one is particularly pleasaWHAT-


Ok, got it. Valkyrie Staff, fine.


Meanwhile, Holyn is warped home by Aideen and promotes:
3 STR - 3 SKL - 3 SPD - MAG - 5 DEF - 3 MDF
He also gets a B rank in axes.

Aideen got a level for her warping services:
HP - STR
Bleah.


On the enemy phase, the pirates attack the ladies. Bad choice. Don't ever attack the ladies.
They get badly injured but manage to pull through, netting these levels in the process:
Brigid:
HP - LCK

Fury:
HP - SKL

Tiltyu:
HP - SKL - SPD - MAG

Fury:
HP - SKL - STR - LCK
Tiltyu got all the important stats at her first level. My hopes are high for her.

So, I just now realized I didn't take a screenshot of Brigid...
She is basically the same, except for the C rank in sword she's probably not going to use anyway.


The pirates start picking on a kid. Since they use axes and have more money than most enemies, he's gonna have a great time.


Miracolously, Fury avoided the arrows, but I'm not willing to bet on her to do so again. I let her kill one of them and gat away as far as possible. The hunters are going to attack Brigid; if she is alive by the next turn, Fury will come back to help her.

By the way, did I mention that I never played the Shin Patch past this point?
