I don't remember very clearly.

SC Bracer posted:Anyone know how to get to the fourth foothold in EO3? I just made it to the 5th stratum, and I've got every sailing item till that point. It's pretty tricky. You can do it now that you've got the Latin Sail. Bring your best food (you should have 24 movement food by this point), the sail, and both the seaweed and reef maneuvering stuff. Start at the third foothold and go south then west through the only gap that has reefs. If you've made it to the Tower of Victory, the fourth foothold's a bit southwest of that. There's exactly one line of water north of the Tower that's in between a whirlpool to the north and some currents to the south. You'll need to fiddle around in the area east of the Tower to get the ship level with that one line of water so you can make it west. I don't know how helpful that description is, but I bet if you look around online you can find exact step by step instructions. This is just how I did it, took a bit of trial and error until I got it right. Hivac posted:You start from Armoroad and go left then up the left side of the map with the last sail.

I didn't think you could get there until you got the cannon from the northern continent? E: Actually looking at the map I think you might be right. There are currents in the north ocean that could take you to the foothold. That way might be easier than my route. Regy Rusty fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Mar 18, 2015 |

Hell, this is the first time I've heard of a second cannon (I never 100%'d the ocean).

I've made it to both Ugarit and Aenea  No idea why the 4th foothold is brickwalling me so hard. Well I got relatively close to it via my Tower of Victory route but then I took a wrong turn and sailed into a whirlpool

Thanks for all the advice, almost to the first stratum's boss and I'm pretty happy with my party of LND/SR so far. It started off a little dicey without a dedicated healer, but that got me to use skills I'd otherwise never touch like the Landsknecht's Bandage for cheap after battle healing. Actually having to rely on binds and status effects is an interesting change of pace from my usual style of heavy hitters and brute force.

You want to keep it in the range where it's healing about half hp or so while still being affordable. Medicas are also dirt cheap, so I wouldn't be too shy about stocking up on those. Also keep in mind while running multiple LNs that links don't 'stack', you cna only have one link active at a time. As you level up and your link starts lasting for more than 1 hit, you should start thinking about just having one dedicated linker. Sub class him/her as a runemaster for best results!

So the bonus for importing an EOU save to EO2U is that your characters show up as people that you can Grimoire trade with. Exciting. I'm not sure if that's all there is to it though.

Got to the 4th foothold. It was actually pretty easy in retrospect. I also did some of my pending seaquests, and drat, that hoplite in the first leviathan quest basically dragged me to victory. That was also the first fight where I actually found the princess' class skill useful. I like that they gave us a free formaldehyde. That's pretty cool.

It's because he's not Canadian. Also, I would not mind having a female main character (or a female main character alternative) in EO3U. I think it's only fair I get to choose what my silent, brooding protagonist is going to look like if they're going to have all of the personality of a Classic Mode character.

Medicas are also dirt cheap, so I wouldn't be too shy about stocking up on those. Thanks, sinking too many points into a skill too soon is a bad habit of mine. I only have one L right now but I've only just unlocked the links. My party is level 14 but I wanted to sink some points into the breaks first for the sake of survivability. Is there a link element I should be focusing on? Same question for Runemaster, or can I build it like my Zodiac from 3 by spreading the points around in each element? I only put 2 points into each of the first tier damage runes so far.

Yeah, you can go three way with RM. They all do different effects though and only max level the final tier ones, since they'll be your damage dealers. Except fire. Fire kinda sucks, but still level it up a bit. And the Runes kinda replace your elemental walls, to mitigate damage, but they're not necessary. And focus on the passives as always, but max them one at a time to start nuking quickly, but not the 10 point one, you can do that later, put one point for now. Also, Free Energy is bugged, so put 4 points for the max chance if you want.

Prism posted:I'm pretty sure Dancers need Fan Dance (3?) to qualify for Speed Boost anyhow. No... speed boost is a stand alone skill but it is on one of the later tiers. The branch for that skill is Fan Dance -> Sword Dance -> Mist Dance Mist Dance is a pretty cool skill for its passive random chance of stunning the enemy, and sword dance can be good if you use Trick Samba.... so it may be worthwhile to invest in still.

Are the Land's link elemental link skills something I should only be putting a single point into? The increases past the initial investment seem pretty low unless I'm missing something. The passives for links later on seem to be a much better place to throw points into.

No. They're damage skills on an offensive class, so you want to max them out. All of them. For the record, what the skill sim means by 50% follow up is that the 2nd link attack will deal half the amount of damage as the first attack, not that it's a 50% damage attack.

Glad I asked then. The added damage didn't seem worth it compared to the point investment at a glance. 30 points to max out all three, initial damage goes from 115% to 140%, follow ups from 40% to 50%. I figured the idea was just to toss a point in to have the link skills then focus on the passives, but I guess they must be worth maxing out then. Thanks!

Ideally you want the first hit with your Linkshark to deal as much damage as possible, so the followups will all hit harder as well. Personally I didn't care too much for Links, as I felt they required too much setup for the damage they dealt, but other people love them, so go with whatever feels best to you.

Honestly, just go for Electric Link, since Galvanic Rune is the one to spam. Combine it with Rush Dance and you will do insane damage per turn. It just takes a couple turns to set up. Using the strat, I beat the Stratum 4 boss in about 5 turns. It was fantastic. Also, there's an Ice Stake spawn right next to the Boiling Lizard that I never noticed before. I usually collected them as I traveled down to his floor.

I guess why people are saying to focus on the volt link is that Galvanic Rune is the best spell, and with Volt Rune you can make many enemies weak to it and do lots of damage. That said I found the landsknecht to be least starved for points of all my team (heck I kept maxed power and mind break even though they're supposedly not useful and still had points to spare) so there's no reason not to max all the link skills to do the most damage regardless of the current weakness situation.
