OK guys, I'm in the Echoing Library for the first time. It is my understanding that I should check the statues. I'm gonna check the poo poo out of this statue.

So what's the general strategy for Cradle Guardian? Arm binds and hitting him with whatever he feels like being weak to that day? Also is there much of a pattern because I swear I set up my bitchin charge edge/freeze drive combo and then LOL NOPE I'M ELECTRIC NOW.

So Narmer. I don't seem to be doing much damage to this guy. Am I gonna need elemental damage or do I just need more levels? Party is B/H/P, N/M. Everyone's level 11.

Ah. My first EO was 4 so I figured I could get by with a party of whoever (minus farmers obvs). Welp, good thing I have a combat study zodiac on the bench. In vaguely related tidbits holy poo poo this boss theme is soooooooo good.

Trained up a Zodiac and Narmer went down easily. I noticed head binding him made spells do more damage. Is that a TEC lowering thing?

Is there a list online with how to get all the conditional drops for each game, or do I have to look it up on a wiki? I'd prefer a simple list for convenience's sake.

Cool, thanks! Is it worth giving my zodiac some points in each elemental spell for stuff like this, or am I better off having elemental forged weapons?

Dr. Fetus posted:Yeah, I think left behind members that aren't in a fort either get the same amount of exp or slightly less than what a 4 man party would gain, and putting them in a fort would give them a bit more than that. Solo runs would have a bigger net gain in exp. Although you're better off using classes like the Wanderer for that instead of something like a Hexer. With a single party member I'd imagine some degree of cheesing becomes necessary eventually.

BattleMaster posted:Don't fight FOEs the first time you see them unless you're very overlevelled, playing on Picnic, or know the one weird trick for beating them that Dungeon Masters hate. TBF on EOU normal mode story they're easy enough so far (I'm at BF6). I also just now realised that bloodlust can trigger off losing HP to your own skills. What's the activation rate at high levels because I think I love this skill.

EOU seems relatively easy so far. I just killed golem and Ant Queen and only Golem so far has been challenging. I'm kinda wishing I could bump the difficulty up mid playthrough (doing story on normal.) I'll probably do the harder difficulty for classic mode, maybe do a SCC or something. Are any classes a really bad choice for SCC in Eou?

Counting multiples of classes it's probably 5 dancers. Early Game at least would be torturous. Maybe still doable with heavy use of forges?

steakmancer posted:Yeah I thought about what I said afterwards and the other sort of party solution to the first stratum is power-break and fortress, but I recall fortress not really being that durable before the 2nd stratum just due to dearth of skill points available for iron wall Not as durable, but they're basically the only class able to take hits at that point.
