Fight for all that is beautiful in the world

Hello I'm starting tits today for the first time. Is there some beginner poo poo I need to know besides examining every treasure chest twice?

You'll need a guide if you want to ace it.

Does Cold Steel do the same thing? I don't like the looks of this AP points business

I still don't know exactly how bullshit a Cold Steel perfect run will be as compared to Sky, but the AP business is exactly the same as Sky's BP. So far I've gotten through two chapters of Cold Steel, missing one collectible book and whatever handful of AP are necessary to get from an A, to an A+ or S or whatever the perfect chapter grade might be. No idea yet if that means I'll miss out on anything special.

Yeah! Did a whole 1 point of damage to Sara before getting massacred. Feels like I really accomplished something.

I wonder a little if you can actually win that fight, on NG+ or something.

On the other hand the guide is only needed if you want to actually ace it. Generally if you're good about exploring everything you should hit top bracer rank and only miss out one weapon with slightly higher max damage you get for collecting a book series. The book series is basically the only really bullshit bit in the game.

If you care about bonus BP you also get some for answering prompts during your tasks and it's generally very clear when you pick an incorrect one and you can then reload when that happens if you want. FC is quite lenient about the BP for max rank though; as mentioned last page SC is the one with tight requirements.

[edit] SC=SC of course, err, or is that wrong?...

Well, that's a potentially disastrous typo.

I feel bad because in the tutorial dungeon Joshua died due to my mismanaging incompetence and I had to use a revive item :(

Well at least I'm done with the tutorials, I think.

Man, Double Cracker is kinda bullshit. Two enemies that have no apparent cooldown for it, and it's pretty much an instant kill on anyone it hits.

Only way around it seems to be S-Crafting one of them until they drop so that you can manage their damage again.

If you're talking about the Chapter 3 practical, it sounds like your DEF is too low. Were you able to get new armor and boots for your group back in Bareahard?

Assuming you mean the Chapter 2 field study, wasn't able to due to being very short on money (heard about the omelet trick, will have to pull it off next time I get Elliot). Don't think it would have saved anyone except Rean, and don't think that would have helped even him if they turned on Howl beforehand. They're doing ~1600x2 to me unbuffed, ~2100x2 with Howl. Jusis, for example, only has around ~2200 HP.

I did just end up S-Crafting one of them away, though they both dropped a final Double Cracker just to say "screw you" one last time before Burn damage dropped one.

He's super chill compared to Machias, but he still did the whole "why do I have to answer your mundane questions? We're strangers, get out of my face" bullshit when I gave him his notebook.

I think I got like 17th? Now I'm not sure. It looks like all the studying-related poo poo that's hidden around campus will boost your score, even if it doesn't give you any answers. I must have missed a few things.

I got 15th, so yes. You need to find all the things that improve your knowledge too(I'm sure you got some of them). Hell, it might be possible you can do even better(I've got no idea) and I just missed one somewhere.



edit: Off the top of my head, it's multiple teachers, the twinsLinde & Vivi, and there's a book in the library.

There's a lot more books than that.

1. Literary Club Room
2. Music Club Room
3. Gymnasium on a Bench

You can also talk to Beryl in her usual place, and Hugo and Becky at the front entrance.

it stays mellow but slowly builds up to a pretty frantic finale. the finale takes up like 2 hours of a 40 hour game though.

If I remember right, it's in the last road area right before the fortress. The spot will be clearly marked with a green (!) on your minimap.
