I've never cared about achievements. Well, the Mira survey and achievements do overlap a lot from what I've seen. As long as there's no achievements like Xenoblade 1's "let 365 days pass without changing the clock", I think I'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFlames Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Yep, this isn't working. At all. 16 tries and I am no closer to defeating the boss of the third Stratum than on my first attempt. Never thought I'd get what I would call softlocked by a boss in Etrian Odyssey, but... here we are. I think my team's weaknesses have finally caught up with them. And I have learned my lesson: Having only two (reliable) sources of damage on your team is not enough. All that's left for me to try is going down to Picnic difficulty, but my pride won't let me.

Just... to hell with them, seriously. Don't even bother. Have your western squad climb up the cliffs and reunite with the main squad at the fort's southern gate. You gain nothing from dealing with the upper enemies. Your archer / Perceval can handle the northern ballista from inside the fort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your equipment matters a lot more in Etrian Odyssey than your level does (granted, it's still ill-advised to throw yourself into Stratum 2 and up with level 10 characters, but still). Now I could gain some levels to get more skill points, but I don't think any skills my party does not have yet will benefit me in any way. And additionally, I don't want the next part of the game to be too easy because I overleveled.

Sooks Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Okay Rngesus really likes me this play through for some reason. The ambush spawns could have killed Stahl, but Miriel blocked the first attack, and the second one went for Robin instead for some reason, meaning that the third one couldn’t kill Stahl...

Yup something i've been thinking about as well Spoiler Atleast until Larentia gets there and closes the bridge Another possible strategy is let the upper squad help the green and yellow units, since they are scrubs. If i can deal with upper enemies though i can sorround the centeral ones very easily. And yeah Elbert tanks Ballista like a champ. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. ^^ Though I do think it bears mentioning that Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 in particular is very... generous in terms of giving bosses massive pools of HP to work with. Thus, my main damage dealers can't keep their best offenses up long enough before running out of TP. Same with my Beast and the Hit Taker skill. And as soon as my Beast runs out of TP or gets otherwise incapacitated, that's basically the moment where my team falls apart completely, another such moment being my Hexer failing to land his ailments and binds (although this isn't too awful usually, it's the main thing that keeps me from beating the Stratum 3 boss. If I could get the Head Bind to land at least once, I would be able to disable the Cry Soul).

Other people in your BLADE Squad doing Squad Tasks, that'll give you tickets too. And, maybe you coincidentally helped out with one a little.

Acacia Sgt Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Pft. So, there I was, launching a second invasion against the Abbasid, aiming to get Nubia. I thought it'd be an easy matter since the Caliph was fighting a Decadence revolt... when the revolt wins. The Caliphate gets usurped and the realm shatters... and my war gets invalidated. And the Invasion CB got used up, so now I have to wait. Well, hopefully places like Egypt, Kanem-Bornu, Byzantine Empire, the Mongols, etc. Take advantage of this.
