Once again, [radio edit] Dullahan.

The mother[radio edit]er's back, and I beat him while on second party by cheesing him with summon rushes. Mostly Charon and Eclipse, but as I got into the fight, it became less and less powerful summons because the mother[radio edit]er now has Crucible, ie. can summon against you.

Star Magician wasn't as horrible, but still terrible because of the [radio edit]ing Ghoul Balls. I hope they choked on my Djinn.

Ancient Devil and the Ogre Titans left to conquer. I've tried Ancient Devil, who can also summon against you in a roundabout sort of way (I'm not going to spoil his bullshit gimmick), and I haven't tried the Ogre Titans yet.

So, Temple, which one first? Iris has a playdate with both, but which one should bite it first?

PS. I found the context for the Satty theme remix.

Thanks Poui.

I was trying to figure out a way to down Star Magician earlier, but I figure my chances are pretty considering how absolutely not-at-that-level I am right now.

I actually used Sveta's Beastform there just so I could down the [radio edit]ing Ghoul Balls. Until it ran out, anyway, but by that point I'd taken care of them.

Also, Refresh Balls will heal other balls, which caused me rather a lot of frustration taking down Ghoul Ball the First. But you get your Djinn back when you off 'em, so it's all good.

Order of Extermination for the balls should be, IMO, Ghoul, Guardian, Refresh, everything else. Death Balls have Condemn, which has shit-for-chances of an instant KO, and the other two balls do return; just not by default.

I beat Star Magician first try. I just kinda threw myself against him because I had someplace to go, I was just kind of suicide-rushing him. I uh, beat 'em. Ogre Titans took me a couple tries for some reason. Ogre Titan 5 has a [radio edit]-ton of HP. Ancient Devil took, I think, two tries, he's not really so tough, though. Dullahan is, in fact hard. TLA, I ALWAYS beat him summon-rushing. (Of course, that's how I beat all the bosses. <_<) Even when he doesn't get in a Crucible, he beats me. I actually work pretty strong with my first party, I last a while, then they end up dead of course, and my second party just kind of chokes. He's the last one I have, and my brother has the game now, he's so excited. When I get it back, I think I'll switch my parties around so the weak ones are up against his less angry moves.

The Ogre Titans are easier if you have about twenty minutes of time to set aside.

The Ancient Demon apparently did some crazy kind of mind rape on Karis and she turned on me. Ahem.

THANK GOD SHE HAD NO POTIONS.

The Ogre Titans were pathetic, though. I was QUITE disappointed. They weren't hard at all. In fact, they were quite boring.

Star Magician. MY GOD, Star Magician. I couldn't use my old strategy, since it's actually much more protected against psynergy now, I can't take out all the balls in one or two turns. So I spent more time beating him. Wasn't that hard, though. I've never understood why people hate him so much.

But holy crap, my level 56 party ALL LEVELED TWICE. EVEN THE RESERVES! D:

Dully, though. [radio edit] YOU. Run up, fight, first thing he does is DJINN STORM. [radio edit] YOU.

First run against the Ancient Demon: Karis went Brainwashed and Crazy, I had enough to summon Crystallux on standby, and what do I end up with?

Crystallux summoned against me. I ragequit at that point.

Also got the double level from Star Magician, though I was mid 40s at the time. Everyone leveled twice. Every single character. Including the reserves.

Went into the Dully fight not caring if I won or lost, but tried anyway. I got Djinn Storm'd once, Crucible'd once (after which I wised up fast), and somehow managed to win.

The Titan Ogres were cake. Had the most trouble with Number 5, though that's largely because he had two attacks a turn, and therefore Doldrum only held him for half his turn. Got lucky with a stun on him, though! :awe:

Which leaves the Ancient Demon. Again. Memo to self: Sveta leads. This way I can outspeed her with Karis if need be!

Wheey! I've became a human being!! I am very handsam!

Beat all of them except Dully on the first try, haven't beaten him yet.

For Ancient Demon, he took Karis at first and she was relatively harmless (she got some summon off on me but nothing big) so I tried to keep her alive as long as possible. She eventually was downed and Himi got taken next. She had a curse on her so after only a few turns she was done. Then he took my beastform Sveta. Luckily he only lasted one more turn after that.

For Ogre Titans I kept Titan #2 alive all the way until #5 popped up, so only one heavy-hitter was alive at a time. Straightforward as hell beyond that.

Star Magician isn't as bad as most people make her seem. Luckily enough every ball I killed was replaced by a Thunder Ball so that wasn't too bad. I don't think Ghoul Balls need extreme priority either, since you get the Djinn right back when they are killed. I'd focus on a Refresh Ball first since it heals so much HP.

News flash: Only attack the AD when he takes someone. Don't attack the other party member. He won't take anyone else as long as that person lives.

I'm just glad that he took neither Master Matt the Sol Ninja or Godspeed Ronin Tyrell. I'd have been SCREWED. Luckily, he nabbed the person who has sub-par equipment until post game...

I used pretty much the same strategy against Star Magician

The Ghoul/Death ball didn't bother me that much, I still focused on Guard and Refresh ball. That aside it's basically Lull and Chasm. Beat him pretty easily actually.

The first 4 of the ogre titan only has one turn, so if I use Ivy or something on them, I can pretty much get a free turn. They do hit hard. Again, Lull and Chasm when it came to the fifth.

Ancient Devil was just......erm, I Azul'd him twice off the bat, then proceeded with Lull and Chasm, didn't take too long for him to go down, though he did summon Ulysses against me >_> oh and Himi died of that bullshit gimmick.

Dullahan >_>
- Daedalus, Daedalus, Daedalus, Lull

I don't remember the rest, something with lots of Thor and Catastrophe >_> Yes I missed Eclipse.

Beat the Titan Ogres, Ancient Devil, and Star Magician all on my first try without difficulty. The Titan Ogres were pretty easy, though the last two have metric [radio edit]loads of HP and took awhile. The Ancient Devil would've been fun... but he chose to possess Himi, who did basically nothing for him. I guess I kind of lucked out, then!
I really liked Ancient Devil's design, though, wish I didn't destroy him.
Star Magician took some time too, but she wasn't too hard. The Ghoul and Death Balls were pretty cool additions, I have to say.
I owe all my success to Sveta, who did basically half of all damage to each of those bosses because she is made of beef.

Dullahan kicked my ass.

I actually killed Dullahan on my first try, since I had stocked up on waters of life beforehand. And, since his tactics hadn't really changed much at all, I was prepared decently enough. Took over a while to beat him down, but I did it.

I was kind of disappointed, really.

Didn't have too much trouble with Star Magician or Ancient Demon, but Ogre Titans are giving me trouble. I'm stealing Crash's strategey of keeping #2 alive.
It was kind of a fun battle the first try, "WHOAH HERES ANOTHER ONE AND ITS TALLER OMG ANOTHER ONE"

Star Magician's hips didn't look so hippy this time around, btw. XD I think she may be a dude now.

Maybe there are two Star Magicians. And in the next game we'll fight a baby Star Magician. XD

She didn't have the hips but it looked like she had a chest now. Maybe I'm just seeing things that way because of bias or something.

So far I was able to beat the Ogres on my first try rather easily, but the Ancient Devil... it wasn't as easy. He had his own summon I noticed, and then mind controlled and summoned one of my own summons that I tried to blast him with. Got him down on my first try, but had just over half my party in traction afterward.

I haven't beaten the game yet, so Crossbone Isle is out of the story for me right now, but I can't seem to find the Star Magician. I'm where the area is supposed to be, but... yeah. Maybe that's a good thing.
