Assignment 5

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you... professional localization:

"A place so full of slugs, apparently, that the excavation isn't making any progress at all."
"So we have to go fight the slugs too? That sounds kind of difficult."
"Yes, according to the information, there are eyewitness accounts of a humongous slug."

Better bring the salt!

Truth be told, the mistranslations are part of my motivations for writing this guide. Even if you didn't notice any of them yourself (look at the properties, if you're ever in doubt), you probably saw me discussing some of them.

Of course, if you have the Plus version you're going 'wtf'. They did correct this, made some other fixes (not enough), and randomly changed a lot of monster names. This is most apparent when you go after Strong Foes. Aaaaaanyway! Enough bellyaching from the Loser, yes?

Dog-Eared Book Buy from Katla or get for free from Harry Flight Gas Jar
  • Area
    • Slag Graveyard
    • Boss fight at Graveyard Core.
    • I had the second tier equipment on, as well as the Lava Cube I mentioned in the previous section (along with Omega Craft).
    • You should get the second lithograph piece.

At some point, you'll get the Linked Attacks, Linked Guards, and Linked Specials experiments. I strongly suggest them, when you can afford it. You also get Materials, which is a synth skill. If you're on NG+, that really expensive (100,000 Cole) experiment allows you to buy your equipped adventure items from your previous playthrough.

Katla will try selling the book for 2000 Cole. You can be cheap and say no. You can't make the item yet anyway, and Harry will give it to you at the Town Entrance later.

During free time, you'll get an event and song at the Hall.

You are welcome to make a Music Box as good as you can make it, but if you don't care for that item, make it with Terrible Tone (the lowest wind effect). You will thank me later.

More Synthesis

Don't bother making the ~best~ Eis Ice Bomb right now. Soon, but not now. (Well, technically nothing I'm telling you to do is optimal.)

So instead, let's make a Roten Blitz.

  • Iron Plate
    • Use a Capactive Paper with Super Destructive.
    • Keep Super Destructive. You are free to make this property on the Roten Blitz using Black Neutralizer, if you want.
  • Roten Blitz
    • Ingredients: Ifrit Breath, Iron Plate, Wood Chips, Black Neutralizer.
    • Use CP Recovery as needed.
    • Toss in Ifrit Breath. Use Power+ LV1 on Wood Chips, then Division to toss it in again.
    • Toss in Black Neutralizer, Iron Plate. You may need to use Crafting Help LV3.
    • Use Quantity LV2 if you have it, whatever else you like.
    • Keep Flame Core, Super Destructive. I didn't plan for a third property, so alter this as you like if you have one you want.
