Great Desert, I think you take the southmost exit through some lava cave
Great Desert, I think you take the southmost exit through some lava cave
As for the amnesia sidequest:
First Piece: Letter of Remembrance - Vale of the Gods (Right near the entrance on the rock by the diving dig point). You unlock it by heading out the west entrance of The Great Sandsea Desert which itself is unlocked through a quest.
Second Piece: Bandanna of Remembrance - The Southwestern Road (At the base of the rock wall to the right, before the first bridge and after the first alcove).
Third Piece: Belt of Remembrance - Near the Valeria Heart : Shiny thing behind Yama. Can be obtained after the fight at the Nest of Eagles story event.
Fourth Piece: Book of Remembrance - In Melphina: After you enter the city immediately to the right (Directions are obtained from the Bartender in Elysion after a certain point in the story).
Fifth Piece: Boots of Remembrance - Near the end of the Blackdale Second Entrance. (Opened by accepting the side quest from the White Yama in Ghor. Ghor is out the west side of the Heroic Ramparts which is unlocked after a story line event).
Sixth Piece: Staff of Remembrance - Near the Final Fortress in the Fourth Sidenbur Path. (This is opened through a side quest. It's the second chain in the Knights of Melphina side quest).
Seventh Piece: Sword of Remembrance - Aqueducts, at the very end of the first area. It's right beside the second underwater dive point. (This is opened very late in the game, it's a story line dungeon).
Eighth Piece: Shield of Remembrance - Undelwalt, Gefyri district in the circular area by the cages on the right.
Apparently there are 8, and depending on the 3 you choose you get a different Jorgan with different weapons/stats if you wish to recruit him from the guild.
I personally went with the Sword since I found it by accident in the Aqueducts, the Bandanna (just hug the right wall after you pass the little alcove on the right and it'll be there on the ground as a dig zone area), and the Belt (which won't be available until a scene occurs in that area towards the end of CD1, otherwise there's an NPC blocking the way..)
in regards to choosing what skills to pick for your toons:
i read somewhere (i think gamefaqs) that for instance, pagus, if you don't choose mystic arts for him everytime he asks there is no way for you to get him leveled to the highest level of sorcerer which is the class that has the biggest baddest spells
this is all heresy of course since the community for this game is rather small so im going to play it by ear and might do a second play thru once im done the first to see for my self.
i think im getting pretty close to the end but then again i dont think i can really tell, i just went thru the 7th path and im now in the sacred lands looking for the conquerer, but everytime ive gone looking for him i just get some crazy battle and dont see him so not sure how close i am or not, i hardly seem ready to take him on. mobs are getting pretty crazy hard too @BR 98
beat it tonite, battle wasnt as epic as i thought it would be and felt kinda rushed in the last couple CS/zones
going to go back before the last battle and finish some quests and try to do all the guild stuff/360acheivments
liked it overall and still gonna get more playtime out of it
Hey Takedown..
Spoiler: show
Hmm so I got my fucking ass handed to me by the Conqueror's troops when they were attacking Calapaleis. Rush's group got separated and obliterated. Then Emma's group got smacked soon followed by Baulson. And of course I forgot to save so I lost about three hours worth of grinding. So I went back into Blackdale's lower sections to boost my guys up even more. Will probably continue doing that today, then attempt the fight again. I still have yet to get Emmy. I've had a ton of interactions with her but she still isn't available etc.
yo exo if you are having some trouble with base 1 then you should go do some major grinding, do all the quests you can, upgrade all the weapons you can, make some gil etc
i had some trouble with 5 and 6, 6 especially but 1 thru 4 i only died once. and at that point you are about 3/5th's done with still some major battles and some fun zones/quests
I didn't wipe on Base1, I didn't even have a hard time outside... my problem was the boss fight INSIDE, the fucker kept using this ability that did 1200~ damage to a union, and along with his 6-7 union adds it was rather hard to stay alive. Some teams died here and there but I managed to take the enemy unions out 1 by 1 with Rush while Dave's group was on healing/raising duty. When it got down to just that 1 boss left it was a piece of cake.
Still one of the hardest fights I've had in the game when you look at the whole picture.
But yeah, are those the final areas?
PC release set for spring.
Cant wait for my free copy
no those are def not the final areas you still have several zones to go to afterwards.
<edit> i went and did some quests between 3 and 4 and then 4 and 5 because i found i needed a bit more exp
<edit2> also make sure you find access to 3rd path once you get to the city to the far east (forget name atm), u get a ton of fucking wicked acc's and recipe/materials in there
final boss spoiler kinda
Spoiler: show
i would say the base fights are about 3/5ths thru d2
btw anyone know how to get to the ancient ruins?
evo i think i read that you had 4th path access, how did u trigger that? i know that you can only get some path access with certain quest triggers can u enlighten me?
and HOLY FUCK @ lokis quest to cure his GF's blindness stuck here now think i need to find somewhere to grind from BR100 to BR115 to get it down just so i can take the quest boss down (complete side quest has nothing to do with main story)
gamefaqs has a ton of topics/threads for the game its way more in depth then i realized after reading most of the threads
to answer my own previous question ancient ruins is a DLC (downloadable content) well the key is a DLC the zone is always there (second path) just locked out
there are also DLC packs with bosses that i havent bumped into yet but they are apprently pretty epic requiring BR100+++
also have seen some pretty crazy claims of hard ass NMs being taken out with one party (all leaders but still crazy nonetheless)
also evo if u beat other bases yet i suggest you go back to your base 1 save point and talk to ghor after u beat each base, doing so unlocks his guild in his city and is not obtainable any other way, i missed it and i am considering a replay just for that
Well I didn't do anything past Base1 so I'll head over to Ghor when I actually play it again. I'm juggling both TLR and Persona 4 together, and right now I'm kind of obsessed with what's about to happen in Persona 4 heh.
Meh I tried to fight that Gate of Hell yesterday and I got fucking slaughtered. So I went back to grinding up. I don't like losing. So the next time I will be even higher lol.
So I bought an Xbox just to play this, I got to the first town and stuff but I really can't get into it, is it any good really? I enter battles and press A then it's over yay.
You want a little bit more action in your RPG than mashing A?
Try Tales of Vesperia
give it a chance it gets pretty fun unless you have a really short attention span
