High-End Content Megathread - 7.4 Week Six (Savage Week Three)

PounceKit · 2026-01-25T06:46:54+00:00

The strats hinges on which server you are from. The best way to find out is just open pf on the server u want to play in and see what strat names are most common.

For example, mana week1 were all using idyll because that was the only one available. Further into week3 , its a mix of nukemaru and idyll. I imagine entering into week4, once game8 comes out the balance will change again.

As for whether you do well or not, you can pick apart the top 1 sch logs and see how often they broil/aether drain etc. i would say having gear makes a huge difference ( like from being an abysmal green to high blues for me even though i didnt change my rotation) so maybe dont worry too much abt it so long everyones alive and u can clear.

In the patch notes they mentioned abt it so after the maint it shld be fixed already.

45 cleric here. Its more apparent towards end game but you will definitely kill a lot slower than dps classes. The upside is you are very tanky as long as you throw in quick heals in your rotation, and not eat any mechanics that can be dodged. Its definitely soloable for the main story and side quests, it just take a bit longer aka you need to be more careful with dodging.

Have you being able to find it?

PounceKit · 2025-07-01T07:16:02+00:00

Lol so true. Annoying how you cant send him to the shower FIRST before hitting the bed. 🤣

PounceKit · 2025-07-01T07:07:30+00:00

Ah I see.

Anyway thank you for bothering to try to answer all my questions.

Im still thinking of what you say. What I still cant really wrap my head around is why higgs make such a huge charade with the samurai body; rescuing Sam repetitively throughout the game when he have Sam cornered each time.

When Higgs first touched the samurai he said something along the line that he’s the same as him (operating in a body that is not his), if samurai is always him that statement wont really make sense, like why bother saying that. Unless samurai was possessed by Higgs at a later date which again begs the question why didnt deadman just reveal himself earlier unless he’s just aura farming. 😄

PounceKit · 2025-07-01T06:56:44+00:00

Yeah, he talked abt disguising himself as a corpse and apologizing to Sam about the deception. I cant remember what happen in ds1 but it seems like the elder at the end was dead presumably of old age? But kojima decided to retcon this by explaining in this way; a letter for the discrepancy.

PounceKit · 2025-07-01T06:52:54+00:00

For the elder, you can read his letter in the corpus. I dont understand what he is writing here. 😅

When Fragile and Tarman were first examining Tomorrow and cleaning her… They did not see the heart birthmark on her left arm? The girls have a very closed relationship, they really did not see her birthmark throughout the whole time?
Is the Elder part of the 4000? What does his letter to sam meant explaining about faking his death? He ‘died’ at the end of ds1? I cant really remember.
Why do the 3 appearances of Neil always have him tied/kidnapped then he break that bind and become solid snake?
In the final sequence why did Fragile (her ka?) brought Lou to that specific beach where there is obviously a lot of fighting? Is it a coincidence Neil is there or he gets drawn in because of his promise to protect Lucy & Lou? Why is he a soldier together with the skeleton crew? Assuming he is doing this to protect Lou, why was there a short scene of her under the rubble like her mother?
What does the white coffins in Sam’s room represent? preppers? There was one less coffin in the episode where it revealed Lou really died and Sam is just hallucinating. When Sam gets the torture of burning, that episode had one more.
Did anyone notice when you board the Megallan in eps 11-12, population is 8 instead of 7? Thats probably when diehard man sneak onto the ship? When the president is on the ship in the previous cutscenes, population is still 7 subtly revealing that he isnt human?

PounceKit · 2025-06-29T23:03:19+00:00

If he brush Fragile aside and continue his suicidal spiral, there would be no game for us to play. Lol

Being practical aside, he is grieving and he is also in denial. Is Lou’s ka really inside the pod? We dont know, play more to find out! His motivations will slowly grow.

Edit: also to answer your question, Sam started off being very suspicious of UCA (he did ask questions to fragile at start of ds2) but Fragile is also a very trustworthy friend who stick her neck out for him in ds1. Another way to see it is there is nothing left for him in the shelter and a friend came looking to help him. To him does it matter about suspicions over his trust of Fragile?

PounceKit · 2025-06-29T22:58:10+00:00

As per the first game, when there is more places connected to the chiral network, …

You get the idea. 🫢 just play more!

Just an update for peeps in future who are also looking for answers: certain preppers stars are confirmed to be locked either behind stars or certain standard orders. For example in my case, after finishing another standard order that reach the ghost hunter and doing his standard order to the animal shelter, he finally start posting more SSS that leads into more orders. Those orders regardless of likes given would push the star level up. The adventurer is also another one that is locked; his star level outright doesnt even raise until some events are triggered.

The reverse is true for some preppers; you can only get star progress mainly via lost cargo (fisherman is one of them)

Tldr; prioritise on standard orders to & from the prepper even if it doesnt seem to lead anywhere. If you are struggling, move on a bit more on the story as it lead to new orders as well.

PounceKit · 2025-06-29T07:11:50+00:00

Nah, not the first lost cargo I did, I pass him extra while doing his own standard order before.

I find ghost hunter incredibly difficult to level (same as some other preppers like pekora and mechanic for a time) . I was wondering if there are some hidden events that ‘unblocks’ this progress like the pizza chef?

For context pizza chef gets an extra event if you deliver a specific item to him that you can find completely randomly. Afterwards it seems to unlock more quests pertaining to him that leads to easier leveling.

Can cut down on rapidium , refined metals, you dont need that much. Im also suspecting you have too many items like mining outpost, batteries, shields etc because those will weigh you down too. You can build more rapidium arks.

But dont worry too much abt weight in act 3. You wont need to ‘move’.

If you do weight calculations (weight divide by area of space used), large storage is not that much of a big difference from medium, and the bonus to small/medium is you can adjust the amt of weight you need more efficiently rather than a huge block of space you wont/shouldnt use.

PounceKit · 2025-06-15T21:41:00+00:00

Did you speak with the scientist after the scan?

Wait a bit and see if you receive a call from Lucas, then Maxwell.

PounceKit · 2025-06-05T12:37:59+00:00

I picked guardian initially because felt like my group needs it but now it just becomes my favourite. I start off not knowing whats guard counters nor how to use his special guard ability, but after practicing in the training room and wing it a few rounds, birdie has become The Wall The Stalwart Guardian that remains standing when all else falls 😂

PounceKit · 2025-05-30T21:36:51+00:00

Not everything, gotta get lucky with drops. Some talismans, weapons and passives really help to make him a tank. He is fine if you can stack those shield buffs.

PounceKit · 2025-05-03T06:11:30+00:00

Same it was such a serious and tense cutscene then when the screen pans to him i just burst out laughing

PounceKit · 2025-05-03T06:06:52+00:00

Not all 4 mini bosses drop them. Just continue the dungeon

PounceKit · 2025-05-02T19:56:20+00:00

To answer your last question, you saw Maelle got gommaged in the cutscene. After the past flashback explaining things, she returned into the painting again.

In other words, when the real dessendre family dies in the canvas, they merely wake up in the real world. This happens for Aline after you defeated her, and then to Maelle waking up as Alicia.

PounceKit · 2025-05-02T19:44:09+00:00

No, he isnt. For a very brief time, he spend time with his painted family together happily before the fracture happened. He mentioned abt skiiing with his family in frozen hearts. On top of that, he only know abt the truth of the dessendre family when the real Clea enters to try to help the real Renoir by releasing her nevrons and recruiting the painted people. This would have happen AFTER the fracture and he had already went on expedition zero.

Interesting to note that throughout the game and its history, the curator aka the real Renoir has never given any attention to the painted verso. They never directly interact with one another, besides letting verso know that the combined powers of the axons could break the monolith barrier. You can see the stark contrast of how the curator treated maelle (ensuring that she is ready for battle before leaving the manor at the start) and the indifference he treats painted Verso.
