Loving this LP, played the hell out of this back in the day. I'm interested to see how the remake is...though thus far, I'm not impressed.EponymousMrYar posted:Boss Jewels while powerful and full of +stat goodness tend to taper off really quickly. Arguably the best part about the Catfish Jewel is that it's a powerful all-enemy attack when your options for those just opened up. I ended up not caring about the boss jewels after the next one, mainly because that one has a cool attack and because droprates get so bad I never got any afterwards, except in the post-postgame. The Catfish Jewel itself is actually the best example of this. It raises Guts and Magic Resistance by 20, but these are the two worst stats available, so it's inferior to even the Eagle Rock that you could already have gotten from random monsters. Catfish Jewel is a (small) improvement over leaving the slot entirely empty, but the instant you get basically anything else, you'll want to sub it out. The other boss jewels are better, but still not at all critical.

Blastinus posted:Note: it might be tempting to feed it something more valuable for up to eight ticks at a time (such as Jewels), but then it will start demanding items like that all the time and you're basically stuck until you can get more items of that value. This is true, but easy to get around. If you feed them a valuable item, they'll start demanding equal quality items, but you can just feed them a few poo poo items (Potions, Charred Newts, Boomerangs...we're really talking the bottom of the barrel crap here) to reset their cravings. This also works for cycling through their specific requested items too - If they ask for a Battle Knife, and you give it to him, he'll start asking for something else. Toss him a few Potions and suddenly he'll start asking for a Battle Knife again, which you can feed him for the boost...Rinse and repeat.

EponymousMrYar posted:Yeah, Cold Rapier on Maxim, Fire Dagger on Guy is pretty much all you need for the Clowns. It's actually kind of impressive just how many enemies have specific weaknesses that you can hit by equipping the right weapon. Sadly, the main game's enemies are simple enough (particularly on 4x XP mode) that it tends to be basically optional - The clowns are easier with the proper elemental weapon and IP attack, but it's completely doable without it. If you play in the bonus mode, however, abusing enemies' weaknesses can often be the difference between success and game over.

The n00b Avenger posted:Didn't figure out the cursed item thing until like my third playthrough. Yeah, it's actually fairly well done here since cursed items tend to be better than equivalent level items...unlike most RPG's, where cursed items exist for the sole purpose of sticking it to newbies.
