Thread: knot of rust, dark matter and Soul Purge

    Default knot of rust, dark matter and Soul Purge

    Could anyone inform me how the knot of rust is involved in the damage of dark matter and Soul Purge? I don't quite understand how the get max damage with soul Purge.

    I never sold knot of rust, nor used them on the enemies. They seem to play a role in upping the damage of dark matter and Soul Purge.
    I searched gamefaqs so please no links to those faqs. thank you.

    I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.

    Soul Purge is an attack used by the Esper "Shemhazai, The Whisperer".

    The offical guide says:

    (SPOILER)
    "This Esper reguarlay uses her Devour Soul ability.
    The more she uses it, the more damage her Esper Technick will inflict.
    The damage that Shemhazai's Soul Purge attack inflicts is actually 1/3 of the the total damage dealt by Devour Soul.
    Furthermore, the Esper Technick is also affected by the total damage you have dealt by using Knots of Rust.
    Though unlikely to reach the upper extremes, it can inflict up to 60'000 HP of damage.
    However, the cumulative "chain" total that increses it's effectiveness can be broken in two ways.
    The first, obviously, is when Shemhazai uses Soul Purge, and the second is when you use Dark Matter - the damage dealt by this item is also 1/3 of the total sum dealt by Knots of Rust and Devour Soul."

    Unfortunately I'm having a hard time understanding exactly what that's supposed to mean... it's not been very clearly explained in the guide!

    i think ... lets say that you have used 31 knots of rust. each doing 2500 damage, so...

    31 x 2500=(if my math hasnt failed me.)64000

    the total damage is one third, thus...

    64000 / 3=(this is the real test on my math, ive no calculater!) 31,900 damage

    my math is rudimentory at best, so that might be wrong, but i think thats what it is.

    Ill let you puzzel out the rest!!

    soz, let me correct... damage by knots- 77500
    total damage -25833

    It would actually calculate to damage total of: 21,250 (something around that)
    EOFF needs a resurgence to it's former glory.

    So how does Dark Matter work then?
