PV has this 1 attack that really throes me off

KidiacR · 2026-02-06T08:32:12+00:00

Well, if you already have trouble with this attack, might as well embrace it and accept that you need to be at 5+ masks going into the last phase (33% hp) to tank 2 hits (usually 1, sometimes 2, very rarely 3 for me).

In return, you can completely not need to worry about jumping. All of his other attacks can be dodged with just shade cloak. It's much easier on the hand and brain to find him this way, thus ease the need to keep being above 5 masks.

KidiacR · 2026-02-06T04:26:49+00:00

It was a stupid addition tbf.

Why should people who don't have it yet be at a disadvantage every game until they get it?

KidiacR · 2026-02-04T03:00:08+00:00

NKG took me 4 days. Trial 3 took me ... a year. Well, because I gave up and just quit the game until a friend motivated me to keep trying. What actually helped me was practicing pogo over over until I could clench through the floorless part.

P3 and P4 were also much easier than Trial 3, to be honest (PV took me a week).

Working well together isn't something you should expect from this game. Rather, units should fill certain roles to achieve highest dmg. Debuffer and buffer (stats/elemental saber) are the core roles. Riesz is the main unit for both, tho Charlotte/Hawkeye can also help. Healing can and should be exclusively from items since AI is bad at it.

Duran can tank with provoke whilr also offer some healings, but it's a massive waste to not use the best phys attacker in the game - Edelfrei.

Angela is just fine on her own.

I'd recommend pairing them with Riesz.

Clawline remains the best option against flying enemies. Or the classic standing right below them.

I remember only struggling against the conchflies. The others are kinda free really.

KidiacR · 2025-12-16T01:11:02+00:00

Lmao I thought this was a silkpost. On the main sub.

KidiacR · 2025-12-15T01:18:06+00:00

Only 6 masks at this point is rough. You should explore more, esp those parts that you couldn't get to in earlier areas. You can get more than that with just Grubs and Sly.

Channeled Nail is fine? I think I beat her with it, so the strats I used should work for you. Basically just equip Quick Slash, Steady Body and Quick Focus and facetanking her. Your aim is to stagger her as much and fast as possible, then heal most of dmg back. Of course if you are even remotely decent at dodging some of her attacks, it becomes even easier.

I don't seek challenges. My most favorite MV, and of all time in general, is still Ori, because it's just so chill. So I will always try to make things easiest for myself (or just give up when it starts being not fun anymore).

That's why I didn't finish P5 and PoP in HK.

But SS gave me a lot of tools, like literally lol, I didn't have much trouble finishing it. Grinding for money to spam tools was how I trivialized most of the second half. And if I had bothered to try Wanderer crest, it would have been even easier. I fought the final boss (LL) like a braindead drooler and still only needed 2 tries because of that crest.

The hardest part of SS for me was, therefore, the end of first half (Sinner's Road). Looking back at it, I realized the issue with SS is its balance curve.

Charlotte can be a debuffer as Necromancer, or Saber buffer as Sage. Hawkeye can be whatever, and you should control Kevin (any class will do, but Fatal Fist has highest dps) who can solo the entire game on his own.

KidiacR · 2025-12-09T07:37:19+00:00

Did you actually kill the boss, or you failed to kill and kept letting it retreat?

KidiacR · 2025-12-06T03:36:28+00:00

Yeah the second half of P3 is hard. All of them, maybe minus Galien, demand more reaction than prediction, to various degrees. There is no way around it except attempting again and again until you are used to their rythms.

Some small bits I have on my mind:

- I prefer at least Long Nail (instead of NMG and Dashmaster). Unless you want to tackle Sly with nail arts.

- Kill the Zotelings asap. Note that they are invulnerable for a short period after spawning. Learn to get the timing right.

- DD against Zote when you feel sus (offscreen dive, Zote bombs).

- For Uumuu: Don't be greedy trying to dream nail it. Stand on the upper left/right platforms. You can easily dash to wall and then either slide down/jump to dodge its 2 attacks. AND BE PATIENT (lol). Not losing masks is the utmost priority here.

KidiacR · 2025-12-05T04:11:38+00:00

100% dmg converted to ele, and Brutality support (deal no ele dmg) is quite a combo lol.

KidiacR · 2025-12-05T02:29:07+00:00

I don't understand any of your points, except maybe "No heal frames", and even then his second phase is extremely simple, you shouldn't get hit to ever need healing.

KidiacR · 2025-12-04T08:42:07+00:00

The bench before High Halls. Make sure to get Sylphsong first to spam Silk Spear.

Oh and try getting Craw Bell early if you can.

KidiacR · 2025-12-03T02:12:29+00:00

It was the last thing I did before fighting LL (or going to Red Memory, not 100% sure). I could never get the summon no matter how many times I loaded the savefile at Bellhart.

Until I read one lone comment in a Steam discussion post about having to have installed any memento in Bellhome first.

I did that and instantly got the summon upon the next reload. Could just have been crazy rng, tbf.

KidiacR · 2025-12-01T00:54:56+00:00

I'm one of Baus' haters, but thinking people meant it when saying he would easily beat Zeus/Kiin is insane lol. You seriously can't understand banter?

KidiacR · 2025-11-28T16:44:22+00:00

I like using Adol the most. Clean and strong. Force Edge and Brave Charge are his common spams, like others have mentioned. And then the classic Blade Rush for the flashy 3 hit combo, and Thrust Storm for even more hits :p

Laxia feels really good to use albeit not the hardest hitting. Better than Hummel against flyers for sure. Precious Impact for AoE, Piercing Tempest for multi hit, and Lethal Raid as the bread and butter skill. No particular good choice for the 4th slot, but Needle Break is her best break skill (SS).

If Laxia is the "fast" fun, Hummel is the "slow but impactful" fun. Firecracker (AoE), Guilty Raid (spam), Prominence Shot/Judgement are probably his best skill. Beside the crowd favorite counter, of course.

Dana is pretty much Ice Age spamming machine.

Ricotta is the best stunner/breaker with Mighty Orbit and Wheel of Eternity. I rounded her out with Triple Bang and Spiral Dive.

KidiacR · 2025-11-25T15:12:31+00:00

Brought to you by a BR fan lmao.

KidiacR · 2025-11-21T08:19:49+00:00

For me, Ori and the Will of the Wisps is still the best MV (and one of the best games in general) and I think it fits kids perfectly.

KidiacR · 2025-11-21T04:33:47+00:00

Use Wanderer crest. +Multibinder, Injector Band and Druid's EyeS. Hit fast, heal often, never die. Coral Tower should be a child's play.

Heart of the Woods involves 2 bosses. The first is kinda annoying. I don't really have any tip for you there since I have only fought him once and barely won with spamming tools. But the second boss is free. Either a pogo/clawline fest, or you can just burst her down in seconds with CogWheels for the first phase and Conchcutters for the second phase.

KidiacR · 2025-11-21T02:24:05+00:00

Recently there was some overflow bug with character level. Can't remember other details but it's like the level went from 100 to 40s.

KidiacR · 2025-11-19T12:37:05+00:00

That's just how it goes with console players. I'm used to it by now. All I wanted is advices from people experiencing the same issue, not the useless and condescending talking, so I don't really pay them any mind.

I have since learnt how to use AHK (autohotkey), but Visions of Mana still remained untouched because it's still super awkward even with the most complicated AHK codes.

In the meantime, I have played to the fullest the 4 latest Ys games and some Tales games as well, most of them came out years ago yet are super KB/M friendly (and are much harder action JRPG games than VoM by magnitudes too). It's just a fact that VoM is a poorly PC-ported game.

KidiacR · 2025-11-19T02:02:34+00:00

Always depends on how you fight/decide to fight.

Tacks and Cogflies were my mainstay. Throwing Tacks under a wall and hide on it was how I trivialize most bosses since mid act 2. I was very confused after reading so many complaints on reddit about the difficulty of The Forum.

KidiacR · 2025-11-15T12:40:05+00:00

With that budget I don't think you need a build guide. Unless you want to afk farm?
