[X] My Assistant

If I was you, I would talk to Torotuna and see how he beat it because he did it immediately upon reaching 200.

Mikuru killed! (Did it with a staff...)

RE: Battletoads Trio & Tree

The first time I did it I put everything to sleep and killed them one by one. At some point during my four attempts I realized that I could just AOE normal monsters and more or less do the same with mini-bosses. I used weaken and blind on Mind Rapers to cut down on toddlerguro crits one-shotting me and using up all my SP; of course, I
was trying to do it without items. If you use items, just take some elixirs to reduce total time needed and the
annoyance of constantly using ET to refill your MP.
My relevant stats were - 50% evade, destruction staff 37%MDM (36% 3 Turn ET), ELEM prof maxed, DEP prof 170,
SUP and CUR prof 160ish, IA level two (using shield) [which you don't need, it's just for the extra SUP prof chance].
About deprecating magic: You'll want as much prof as you can get. Having to recast sleep in the last round is a
real annoyance, so much so that in my last three play throughs I used a curse-weaver robe to make sleep last for
a few extra turns. It reduced my evade by 5%, but it was worth it.
Other considerations: I put all of my DEP and SUP spells in the quick cast bar. Opening the menu each time to cast
one gets old fast, and you will be casting them over and over again. Using nerf before using poison will make it do
more damage, in case you didn't know. In the last round whittle everyone's hp down to almost nothing before killing them one by one to avoid the special effects they get when one of them dies. Also, make SURE you whittle the tree (pun?) down first and kill him last because he can heal the others instantly and you'll have to whittle them all down again. It happened to me... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif)
Bottom line: It's not that hard, just time consuming and dull. You can do a few arenas on battletoads to get a feel for it. I did 160 rounds of battletoads IW last night and didn't cast sleep once.

Also, not hard when you have 83.4% evade, this staff (MDM and ET being the key stats,) and soul fire/burst.

The end results are pretty nice though for about 90 minutes of play.

@Torotuna
Thanks for the reply. It's good to know I won't have to rely on sleep until the end.

@hito
83.4% evade huh. I am now officially depressed (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

DAMMIT!
You just have to show up every once in a while to make us all feel bad, you magnificent bastard!

I just beat the IPU on Battletoads.
4034 turns.
Having spells disappear numerous times was bad. Losing 80% of a mana elixir was worse.

Very nice. Did you use high mitigation or high evade? Also, what was its HP total? It was months ago but IIRC Battletoad RL had something like 7 million 4.4M HP, which is a fraction of what I expect IPU and FSM to be.

Did you use high mitigation or high evade?

Mitigation gear. Actually, for some reason I took a lot less damage than I did the first time. Lifestream was enough to keep me afloat for 80% of the time.

Also, what was its HP total?

Uh... I didn't make note. I, however, would be surprised if it was over 10 million. If I use the damage I was doing per turn to estimate, I get about 9.2 million. (Approximately 2300 per turn * 4000 turns= 9.2 million)

A level 250 IPU on Battletoads should have about 7 million HP.

Just beat Real Life on Battletoads. Weaken/Blind is a better choice than Silence. Soul Burst rapes him.

For items, bring a few Spirit Elixirs along with a bunch of Mana Elixirs to speed things up.

How many turns? It's just so boring...

A little over 1000.

You're definitely getting more damage than me then. My Soul Burst is averaging 7-8k each. That or maybe using no mana items is just really slowing it down a lot.

What level is yours? Mine was 248.

250.

I bet you have a higher magic attack rating. My attributes are still kinda imbalanced in favor of a Heavy setup from way back in the winter when mage was underpowered.

250.

The combination of these with the mana elixirs (I accidentally went in with only 7 mana and no Spirit Elixirs) probably accounts for it.

Now I feel just like Rey Mysterio with just ~35 evade, 20%MDM staff, Dep/Sup/Cur around ~140-150, underprivileged but still got the job done.

Congrats, now go for the last God (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Btw Hito, IIRC you said you didn't got any phase before 4.0, so you're getting that evade with only fleet silk? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

You are correct sir. It's all silk of the fleet. To clarify though, I added my shadow veil to that. My equipment evade is under 60. I wouldn't mind getting a few of those 15 evade phase pieces though.
