Heh, thanks.

Anyways... I'm now in the Song of Nephelin... and I've got some major trouble with the first boss in here. I can't freaking do any serious dammage to that thing! I'm currently at level 22-23 and my characters has no upgraded Tech Attacks, no boosted stats and no powerful AGW's. The first boss in the Song of Nephelin got a crazy defense, more than 5000 HP and the, from now on, officially most annoying move in the entire game... Soul Drain (it drains HP). Most of my attacks will do 0 dammage, and only a few can do more than 100 dammage. It takes a great deal of effort to get 350 dammage down from that thing. Sadly, this annoying boss will recover just about that amount of HP in a singel turn, while at the same time doing the same painful amount of dammage to one party member.

On top of that, I actually DID manage to get its HP down to 300 (I used Analyze to check its HP) after about 1 hour of fighting. And what happens? That little ******************* uses Sould Drain 3 times in a row, restoring a total amount of about 1000HP! WTF!? AAAARGH! Then I got finished off.


Edit: Ah, nevermind. It actually only got crazy ether defense. The fact that it's flying means that you only can use ranged attacks... and since most of the ranged attacks in this game are ether attacks, it's hard to dammage with a party like mine. However... just about all Rubedo's moves are both "physical" and ranged. So... I just had to use Rubedo in my party in order to own this boss. Hah!
