STRAK'S PROFILE

I mean, you are exaggerating the stats a little bit. The literal agility cap is 999, as it the ATK stat, neither of which is what either of those enemies have, but in the case of the Guardian, you're supposed to lose that fight. Which is why the game continues after the loss. I'll reiterate, if you're having difficulty with the combat, adjust the battle settings and see if it helps, and make sure you're well prepared with items. That's the best advice I can offer you, it's up to you if you want to take it. This game is meant to be a challenge, but it doesn't have to be if you try new things.

Hope that helps, and I hope that didn't come across as rude, I'm genuinely trying to help you out here.

Honestly, you're actually probably over leveled for that part of the game. The mission you're on now has a built in fix (later on) that gives you a couple extra levels just in case you're below level 20. I've beaten the Leviathan before at around level 17. I'd recommend playing around with the battle settings (the Tips and Tricks video helps explain them better) or stocking up on medicines and stimulants by completing side missions offered by the assassins in the sanctuary. Also, if you haven't already purchased Heal and Life tomes from the merchant in Amethyne, that can help immensely. And forging new weapons from the merchant in Diamo should be possible with the carbon and iron that you've mined from the cave so far, or purchasing equipment from the general store. Hope this helps!

EDIT: Ha ha, I kind of like your comparison, although it's not QUITE that dramatic. Kind of makes me feel like I can at least create a challenging boss fight though. Canonically, it's a sea creature that is subject to deep-sea gigantism, prefers cold climates and isolation, and are very territorial. The holes that extend to the ocean floor in Glacio's Throat are an ideal habitat for them, as they connect to the open ocean, so traveling through the area is essentially invading it's territory, but it's not exactly meant to be a god-level monster of mythic proportion.

How have I not been a member of this community sooner? This is the best way to celebrate Christmas I've ever seen.

Wow, way to grind! I didn't actually expect anyone to TRY to find the secret final boss, it took me almost 4 playthroughs to get to max level. You actually just need the party leader at max level, but it's definitely best to have a solid party when going into the fight. Also, great job finding that other secret! I think you're the only person to have found it so far, I haven't had ANYONE mention it, and that was in the very earliest release of the game. Great job, I'm glad you're enjoying the game!

Thanks! I always appreciate when people get hyped to play my games, it makes me feel as though the effort is well spent. Hope you enjoy the next playthrough!
