Obelisk: Devilkiller

author=Craze
Felix is a Solari, but his evasion increases dramatically as his SP raises. Use Sniper's Mark when you plan on a blitzing turn (SMark -> Bullet Spray -> Swashbuckle -> Possible Fae Release), but otherwise let it build up when Darren dies. He'll have something like 60% evasion at 100% SP. Get some SPD+ on him and he'll be dodging almost every single attack Septimus can throw at him

Incidentally. I do believe Felixs' evasion actually hits something like..43% or so, at 100% SP, unless you stack alot of essences on him. And I more focused on boosting the frig out of his crit, and his darkness evasion. (That was, with 4 mauve shawls. 71%? something like that. Good against the element that smites him, anyways.)

In response to the above post:
Darren & kristoph have a fantastic Synergy. You use a properly set up Kristoph as a blitzer (Thus generating 15 BP every term), and use his defense boost ability (By stacking troll bloods on Kristoph) to make your party altogether harder to kill (And it essentially never runs out). This -really- shines, when you have Darren in the party, who is guarding. Once that defensive buff is on, you just use kristoph for the BP- and have Darren soak hits though provoke, + some of that aggravating headware, for when provoke fails (or enemies shed provoke). Basically. Kristoph might not be the greatest on his own, but with proper gear and synergys, he rocks the ever living fawk out of things.

Also Illinois I found less mind boggingly awesome at bosses...and More fantastic for absolutely obliterating random encounters. If you tone down his SP costs with essences, he can just SPAM aoe spells on everything and the fight ends 2 or 3 turns in. >> Delightfully efficient.

I'm actually going to try to poison her first round, next time, and than just build up enough BP that I can promptly Spam Princess' attacks several times over. Czarina's ability to just -crush- people if she freely spams attacks all over the place is sort of ghastly. Thus, I'd rather play defensively, bide my time with a group that can survive her, and then wait until -after- oblivion punch has gone off.

>> In the mean time, I suppose I'll just gush about how much I adore the samurai. Her evasion rate is obsceeeene. It's well over 60 percent, as I recall. Nearing 70. And her crit rate..is..I think a bit over 50 percent.

Leave it to me, to break the games I play. =D. But, yeah- I dunno. Even with Ebon on, and Darrius at something like 43 percent Dark resist, And guarding- he still swallowed 2.5 k damage in one turn. >> (from one of the super spam turns). It's why I ended up approaching this fight with the..take advantage of my ability to live through your attacks, even if he proceeds to arbitrarily AOE the party several times. OR spams crits against the tank through a turn. (I do believe Darren was dead by the time my fight ended).

I also didn't have the super Kristoph combo until after. >> Because I didn't have Kristoph yet. That's what I'm going to be fighting Kerberos with, though. Should be fun.

Anyways << Let me have my amazingly innovative hilarity combo. Especially with Trolls blood, for the infinite defensive buff chain. >>

I tried using Princess. >> Than I found out that Czarina can cure herself of provoke- and promptly hit one of your characters at random with Oblivion fist...for 2.5 k damage. Killing them. Instantly. Suffice to say, that somewhat changed my thoughts on how to deal with this battle, and has had me wandering around doing other areas first. >>

Obelisk: Devilkiller

I splattered Septimus. I've splattered him -hard-. But to do so, I had to get a full party of lunatics. From there, I put a fair bit of tank gear and aggro attraction on Darren (lunatic Tank), aaand, basically proceeded to just sit there and slowly farm up BP.

Basically, if you're relying on him -not- attacking six-8 times in a row at some point or another? You're kidding yourself. He doesn't do it -consistantly- but he does do it with a certain degree of frequency every so often. And, quite frequently, he'll pop the sleep spell out during this time, which can and will be devastating to any Solari in your party.

That's not to say Solari are useless in that fight- but you should take advantage of being able to switch members of your party in and out, so as to be able to plink him with damage.

But, seriously? Don't have princess out unless you have something like 60+ BP. It's a waste, otherwise. Use Carmilla (Who I still adore due to the shenanigans from sage mara), and the gunner to gradually get yourself ready. If you have the samurai-ko, occasionally poisoning him is also good. >> Once you're sufficiently ready, (And he's just done some major spam, and has been aggro'd by Darren), you pop princess out, and proceed to spam delicious combustion. Also make sure you can use her self heal + buff. it's useful. Especially when you start dealing 500-700 damage to yourself.

Also, the lunatic healer/archer - her bow shot hits twice, builds -decent- BP, and makes everyone else more likely to be able to spam skills. And carmilla's 70 SP skill (60 SP with her current stat build) definitely needs that SP, if you use her.

So yeah. Far from impossible.

tl;dr Keep all your solari out of the fight as much as you can, have darren keep aggro- and keep him healed. (And Spam his SP guard every turn, or you will regret it). If you get fubar'd with sleep, bring princess in if necessary. But yeah. You don't want people he's strong against in the fight- he'll just crush you further. And if any of your characters die? He gains more attacks.

If you're thinking you can just tackle this head on with a party, you're -sadly- mistaken. I had to specifically adjust my entire party and gear to this fight. (And I promptly got the ability to become super ridiculous after it. The stuff from Septiumus chest is super amazing. >> Though it isn't quite as broken as the combo I discovered in the above spoiler. That's even worse.).

Let's Play Death Lord

I'm betting it was 'quite a fun day' >>, at 4:38.

Five areas + final boss
Five big bosses, two minibosses, final boss

Good to know on what I have left to kill =)

P.s. Gawddamnit. Happened Again.

"Script "YEA Battle Engine' line 2785: NoMethodError occured.

undefined method 'set_skill' for nil:NilClass

Hope that helps?

P.P.S. Progress wise, I beat up the giant tin can, Angelique, The windy thing & The ogre. I would have knocked Cerryberrys teeth out- ...But well. I was afflicted by that nasty glitch yet again..

On the other hand, I discovered that The paladin is the best blitzer in the game. (3 of those healing bells + his normal attack? 15 Burst generated every round =D, That and 3 troll jars pretty much has him able to spam his amazing defense ability every time it runs out. >> With the other tank in the party. Well. Alot of defense essences, 2 of those aggro attracting items, and a never ending guard are wonders, for the sake of just turtling until you can generate either the 30 SP necessary to wipe out most mobs..or the 70 SP I was trying to save up for Cerberus. Until, well. The game crashed. :<.)
