Soon as I got Esquie's ability to swim, I prolonged my game by wandering around and exploring the overworld. I found some records, beat some of the giant nevrons that were scattered around the Act 1 areas, then wandered around collecting skills for Monoco by fighting everything I could find. I've found a bunch of records, and decent chunk of journal entries along the way.

Anyway, the downside is I grinded a bit too much. I sorta steamrolled the Visages and I started the area with the dancing nevrons, and I can beat the normal enemies just shooting at them without ever usinig any actual skills or actions at all. But I guess that means it's time to advance the story. Even when I'm running over enemies, I have fun just exploring.

P.S. that one rock that you have to dodge around 100 times before he self-destructs is a fun fight even though it's simple.

Literally DO EVERYTHING. I'm telling you. DO EVERYTHING before you fight that end boss.

Im 78 hours in.

I've scoured the entire map. I went back to the Monolith and beat that boss that appears at the top. Now im able to triple hit :wow: Then i started farming Renoir Drafts.
I still have to beat that flying Serpent...i tried to fight him early on and got him down to 1/4 health but i could never time his explosion after he absorbs your AP...

after that i think im ready to end the game :mjcry:

FYI this might be the GOAT game to play after taking an edible...

Did you beat EVERYONE? :usure:

Literally my two favorite fights in the game are entirely skipable.

u right, i was farming last night and randomly ran into Simon in the Abyss :francis:

lets just say i need to grind some more

That's a great fight...but I actually think
Clea is one of the best fights in the game. If not the best. Simon is the biggest test of skill, but thematically Clea and Alicia are peak.

I thought i was doing something when i got his health down the first time...then the cut scene started and the nikka popped back up like :smugfavre: then proceeded to hit me with some ridiculous combo that wiped my entire team.

at that point, i just went to bed :mjcry:

Finshed at about 90 hours....what a journey...they restored the 90s RPG feeling with this :blessed:. Easily a top 10 game of all time for me. turn based Stans won with this

Im skimming some of the earlier comments and see brehs complaining about a minimap :mjlol: The exploration adds to the fun. Each area is essentially 3 corridors u gotta pick from. I spent more time running around in this game than i did in BG3. the music + the parrying system NEVER got old, so although i didnt need to grind, i did it anyway :noah:

I loved that Maelle ending too lmao


They about to sweep the awards on some Kendrick shyt...good luck next year game studios lol
