@ZiroikabiКүн бұрын
I'm unsure I am currently finishing up my Solo Low Level true neutral run on the creation route, as I'd never played the original game. Even managed to solo Shiva no ng+ but they HEAVILY buffed Trucifer to the point he is now level 99, has inflated stats, his stars went from 1k to 3.5k hp and a ton more and is literally impossible to beat solo without balm grinding. Soloed the entire game with no random encounters just a few abscesses, no quests except true neutral ones pretty much and the fiend fights as extra and then even after going for Luci and grinding to 99 still didnt even do phase 1. I did do a ton of ng+ runs on creation and beat him but a friend of mine who datamines said apparently you can get balms on demon level up as a rare drop... so in theory its doable on new game so the same should apply to Demi-Fiend. I havent actually fought him outside of Godborn so not sure how easily you can kill his summons on Regular Hard mode but they love to spam Debilitate so you'd need a pretty bulky strength/magic stat to consistently prevent Gaea Rage.

You go from lvl 16 to 99 from a single reaper?
@ZiroikabiАй бұрын
That's levelling scaling for you. Fun fact if you want to beat the game at the lowest level possible you need to fight extra enemies. Simply avoiding all random encounters makes you lower level and every 1 level below a boss you are you get an xp multiplier which means in turn you actually end up slightly above the lowest level. I did this because we were looking for a way to beat the reaper low level for the speedrun. The speedrun heavily relys on being underlevelled for specific fights so you gain more xp. Being 5 levels below Hermit gives you a lot of xp, but if you go into Hermit 10 levels you lower you come out at a higher level because of the insane xp multiplier they added. Also I ended it solo so mc was the only one gaining xp and I picked the xp shuffle time card, so ofc I was going to jump straight to 99
@kondratov8269Ай бұрын
@@Ziroikabi I didn’t know about that xp multiplier for being underleveled, it makes me wonder if the number they give as xp is incorrect since when I’ve beaten the reaper while being a lot higher level than 16 I’ve gotten roughly the same amount of xp you did but i didn’t get to lvl 99

If you have a persona equipped that resists her she shouldn't be able to do much damage. You can either go for Ali Dance for 50% dodge rate and capitalise on lucky turns where you dodge lots. Or go for Firm Stance + Regen 1 2 3 and tbh if you resist her and have those you will passively out heal any damage she can do to you except for Metatron cutting your hp in half. You also do double damage by hitting her opposite element and it skips her next persona. So if you hate Thor you can do like I did and use fire on Jack Frost for 2x dmg and skip Thor. This works with gems too not just persona moves although the gems dont give double dmg. You can also do this to use King and I theurgy on her Surt. If you have a good Ice persona you can beat her in 5 turns on Merciless difficulty. 4 If you use Goemon DLC.

One time I did fight him on the Cronicles version, and he didn't even have the opportunity to fully heal himself. I guess if you do enough damage, he would never use Diarahan. I guess his health has a certain threashold when he uses it, but it isn't scripted later. I have that attempt recorded on my channel, and I was like "what" when the fight was suddenly over without him even using it. I mean, it's one thing to have an overleveled party to finish him off very fast in only 4 press turns or so, but I in that attempt I didn't really do that whole lot of damage. I guess it worked the same way in your video, and he forgot to use it.
@ZiroikabiАй бұрын
I'm not sure of his chance to Diarahan. He did a few times for me. I've even had him Diarahan twice in the same attempt. Everything is chance based. His AI seems to love opening up Phase 3 with Root of Evil like 95% of the time it's how I tested exact hp thresholds for the phases. But everything is random with him so sometimes you will be spared, although in this attempt he'd already Dekaja'd me so no Root of Evil just meant I wasnt at risk of taking huge damage since Chronicles has Diarahan and RoE includes auto Dekaja on top
@user-ky1sk7kr6tАй бұрын
@@Ziroikabiyeah, the fight is pretty random. On my recent attempt he also used Diarahan twice. He's similar to Satan from DDS 2, that also fully heals on low health and you need to play that game with a calculator. The problem with Lucifer though is his love for Dekajas and Dekundas, unlike with Satan, that removes everything at a certain point. Anyway, congrats on your amazing achievement! Your build is by far the best I've seen for a solo run.

Timestamps for every mission with info added if necessary: Mission 1: 0:24 Mission 2: 4:36 Mission 3: 10:31 Mission 4: 17:12 Mission 5: 29:39 By standing under the bridge turn 1 the engineer will waste his only good weapon which can one-shot any of my pigs. Then by standing close to enemies behind shelters they will hit them while trying to target me. Mission 6: 55:45 This is the first mission that is pretty tricky. Snipers do a flat 40 damage and a direct Mortar hit will insta-kill any of my pigs, they also have shell fragments so any turn where the AI isn't being manipulated by my positions has a high chance to reset, escaping the minefield by blowing up a mine in a place only 1 tile thick is good for this one Mission 7: 1:12:05 The first mission a vehicle is introduced. Luckily the enemies AI in pillbox can be tricked and often inaccurate by standing behind trees or slopes far away. Super TnT is extremely useful for removing a pillbox if you can't control them or taking out a pig that gives you a headache. Once they run out of ammo they will jump out which allows you to jump in and stall the AI. Mission 8: 1:26:53 This mission is easiest done when playing aggressive as after a turn limit 2 Spies (late game enemies) will drop in and it becomes very hard to win. I don't know why the AI drowned itself twice but I've seen it replicated very rarely. Mission 9: 1:34:33 The first mission to introduce a special bonus. A very quick mission with the airstrike used, just hard to navigate minefields. Engineers can detect mine tiles but I have to rely on memory with Grunts. Mission 10: 1:41:58 The wall-climb near the start point allows you to Super TnT both tanks on turn 1 and damage the special bonus box, making a usually difficult map into something very manageable. Mission 11: 1:53:55 The first major roadblock of the challenge. Back in my ps1 run years ago this took me a long time to do because while you can control enemy attacks often, rng is reseeded every frame dependant on inputs and this changes their movement patterns which in a lot of cases means one of the 4 snipers will kill someone because it takes so long to get round to the same pig to move them into a safe position. Mission 12: 2:12:40 You can abuse all the tanks as a safety net to give your pigs more useful weapons and more health. The 3 enemy ones need to be destroyed to obtain the bonus. Mission 13: 2:23:24 This mission is incredibly difficult if you don't know how to manipulate pillboxes or stall the enemy AI, staying down low behind a hill and removing the closest pillbox usually makes someone jump out of theirs, you can then get in it and attack the other pillboxes while stalling the enemy on top till the end. Mission 14: 2:45:48 The minefield is a checked pattern so you can easily get past and stay near the walls to force the AI to shoot you with pistols instead of using their explosive weapons. Mission 15: 2:54:29 You have to keep the wine cellar intact to gain the bonus here. By standing close to the Spies at the opposite end of the explosive barrels you can manipulate them to shoot it damaging or completely killing themselves. Mission 16: 3:00:45 You need to take control of the tanks as fast as you can, if not the commando will take one and the grunt will too although sometimes his AI glitches on the bridge so he wont. You can use the slopes to your advantage and then destroy the tanks at the end to claim both special bonuses. Mission 17: 3:21:14 This mission has a bugged medal on the PAL version which is impossible to obtain, however a "glitch" to get an extra medal in 23 exists which counters this. You're supposed to get 1 medal for every 2 tents you destroy but this does not happen in PAL. In fact destroying the tents in some orders will outright not drop you even 1 medal for some reason. Normally that wouldn't be an issue but destroying them in a good order to kill the Commandos before they get a turn to regain HP is vital and this bug complicates things. Mission 18: 3:27:12 This mission originally took me over a month to do in my old run. By baiting poison gas the Spies are left with nothing to throw only their sniper and TnT. If you're out of their line of sight when they have no gas they will just infinitely hide giving you free turns allowing you to take out other Spies or destroy the medal box. The Spies can move unpredictably at times and steal health kits or get lucky shots so there is some luck involved. Mission 19: 4:01:55 Like the previous mission this one has a lot of luck in it that the Surgeon and Spy both move randomly, by keeping them down below you can make them mostly harmless. By standing around where I do the launcher shot on turn 1 the Spy will always throw a poison gas that fails to hit anyone rendering him useless once knocked off. But if they move too close to a pig before you get a chance to move away you'll likely lose someone. This is made even worse by the fact you have to wait for a Pyrotechnic to spawn which holds a medal. So by hiding from the pillboxes view you can bait the other one out for a mortar shot and then go inside and break his AI maximising free turns for your team and then use the 2 moving tank pods as extra hp for any pigs that need to move or are low. Mission 20: 4:28:25 This mission sucks in that you have to wait so long for the second medal to drop. Luckily with all the medicine balls and the height advantage the 8x Surgeons are pretty useless as long as you keep distanced. (I completely forgot till the end that multiple people can get the High Explosive Grenades from the drop point) Mission 21: 5:10:30 The worst mission in the game, by far its not even close. So much so I allowed fast forward because of the luck involved and amount of waiting there was. You can have multiple people in the Shelter which will bait most attacks, however the Commando on the slope will always path find across to you so you have to play aggressive at the start in hope you can knock him behind the hill with the rocket launcher. Parts of the hill break the AI into not adjusting the angle of their bazookas and they blow themselves up. So once everyone is safely in the bunker you keep waiting until the first Commando dies. You then get given a Guided Missile which you can then use extremely precisely to knock a second Commando down into pathfinding to the rocket launcher crate by the shelter, this will also break his AI. Rinse and repeat until 1 Commando is left then I sent my healthiest pig across to retrieve the special bonuses before kill him as fast as I could. The issue is the bunker is far from safe, almost all my failed attempts were from a lucky bazooka shot just barely hitting someone and causing me to lose. With this mission done it gets a little easier from here on out. Mission 22: 5:35:56 Casually this mission is hard but you can use wall-climbing to take over the pillbox before the scout can which is normally supposed to happen and obtain the 2 jetpacks to infinitely stall the pigs inside the tanks and also collect the crates the game drops for them. The Hero looks scarier than he is, it's the Commando reinforcements that are terrifying. This attempt really should have failed when the second Commando used an airburst on me but the blimp in the sky took the shot which was incredible. Some of the enemy turns here are very predictable with precise placement especially the scout shooting but the rifles range dropping off before hitting my pigs. Mission 23: 6:02:49 This mission would likely be impossible if it wasn't for the bridge. By hiding under it you can bait all 4 airstrikes to take no damage at all. Then its almost like you're fighting 4 Commandos but you can abuse Shelters, Pillboxes and the good weapons to take them out. When weakened providing the Shelter is healthy enough they will just hide inside forever giving more free turns to plan out. Looking at the victory screen you can see there are only 4 special bonuses despite me picking up 5. The 1 in the corner and 4 in the centre, 1 for each Hero killed. By positioning your pig under the final medal drop point you will obtain this extra medal after killing the last Hero which was unintended, coincidentally making up for the bugged mission 17 one. Mission 24: 6:23:04 Aside from the incredibly short time limit of 15 seconds this level isn't inherently hard. It's tricky because of the amount of rng there is to it. Each grenade hit or the guided missile will have a different outcome in how it knocks around enemies making it impossible to plan a consistent strategy for. I had to memorise the enemy pig turn order and try make them hurt themselves with their own pistols or flamethrowers. I allowed use of the infinite timer exploit as it didnt completely break the level, just allowed me to collect all the special bonuses easier and gave me some lee weigh to position myself better. Mission 25: 6:35:25 Normally after your second turn 1 Legend of every enemy colour will drop in. A Legend is a normally unreachable rank higher than a Hero. If allowed to spawn I don't think there is any way this level would be physically possible. Fortunately by getting on top of the pillbox the Purple Gunner inside will jump out, by precisely blowing yourself onto the centre he will bounce off your head and slip close to the poison water, then all you need is a very very precise grenade blast to knock him into the centre of the water enough so he BARELY drowns before escaping. And with that there you have it, finally video proof that you can get all 100 medals in Hogs of War only using Grunts.

hello!!! i think i understood pretty much everything from the description and the pinned comment but i still have a doubt... in the shuffle time, how did u get the j level of cards if u barely fought just 2 boss (so having just few arcanas cards) ? thx u so much for any response, this channel is so interesting :-)
You automatically get J shuffle times from beating the reaper since he is a special encounter. He’s classed as a final block enemy Edit: You unlock new major arcanas from doing Monad but the rank of the cards themselves is never effected by that its purely based on the enemy fought (or +1 if arcana burst is active)
@@Ziroikabi oooh i didnt know about that! i thought the only way to raise cards' level was to "fill" all the free spots on the down left, then with the last card u get the new letter still tysm!!!!
Fake, you can't have those skills at that point in the game, next time do it without the cheats
Skill mutation is a really great thing :) too bad you ignored that game mechanic entirely. Other people in the persona discord who helped me set this up can testify this is legitimate and other people have also used skill mutations to do amazing things including getting Almighty Amp and Megidolaon on a level 5 silky. I explained the entire process in my description and pinned comment... at least read that before falsely accusing someone of something 👍
It’s real and you can get ANY skill you want through a long tedious process once you’ve gotten to a level where you can fuse about 4,5 different personas
You are an actual moron
I have a question, which floor or block of Tartarus did you get Getsu-ei and God's Hand Card? And How did you get Megidolaon on Orpheus? Did you find a skill card in one of the Tartarus floors or you got the card in the Antique shop?
Getsu-Ei was from a twilight frag chest in Yabbashah God’s Hand was 5th or 6th block fragment chest (i forget 99% sure final block) Megidolaon was the antique shop yeh
Mitsuru: I'll show you that I haven' t lost my touch Reaper: So survive my agidyne
Meanwhile in the background you can hear "stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself"
You go from lvl 16 to 99 from a single reaper?
That's levelling scaling for you. Fun fact if you want to beat the game at the lowest level possible you need to fight extra enemies. Simply avoiding all random encounters makes you lower level and every 1 level below a boss you are you get an xp multiplier which means in turn you actually end up slightly above the lowest level. I did this because we were looking for a way to beat the reaper low level for the speedrun. The speedrun heavily relys on being underlevelled for specific fights so you gain more xp. Being 5 levels below Hermit gives you a lot of xp, but if you go into Hermit 10 levels you lower you come out at a higher level because of the insane xp multiplier they added. Also I ended it solo so mc was the only one gaining xp and I picked the xp shuffle time card, so ofc I was going to jump straight to 99
@@Ziroikabi I didn’t know about that xp multiplier for being underleveled, it makes me wonder if the number they give as xp is incorrect since when I’ve beaten the reaper while being a lot higher level than 16 I’ve gotten roughly the same amount of xp you did but i didn’t get to lvl 99
Your strategy here was really impressive, and the amount of prep to do this is insane… That being said I think Junpei was the real MVP of this fight.
“OUR LEADERS IN DANGER” “… smh gimme a minute”
I'd been trying this fight for several hours and I just gave up for the night. Honestly being able to be one shot repeatedely EVEN IF you follow the rules is stupid and the constant buff/debuff cycle gets exhausting fast.
If you have a persona equipped that resists her she shouldn't be able to do much damage. You can either go for Ali Dance for 50% dodge rate and capitalise on lucky turns where you dodge lots. Or go for Firm Stance + Regen 1 2 3 and tbh if you resist her and have those you will passively out heal any damage she can do to you except for Metatron cutting your hp in half. You also do double damage by hitting her opposite element and it skips her next persona. So if you hate Thor you can do like I did and use fire on Jack Frost for 2x dmg and skip Thor. This works with gems too not just persona moves although the gems dont give double dmg. You can also do this to use King and I theurgy on her Surt. If you have a good Ice persona you can beat her in 5 turns on Merciless difficulty. 4 If you use Goemon DLC.
@@Ziroikabi So I tried this on Peaceful, did too much damage to one shot before phase 3. Tried this on easy came up 133 DMG short I officially hate this boss fight. And I'm a Dark Souls vet.
Persona if it were a shounen anime:
One time I did fight him on the Cronicles version, and he didn't even have the opportunity to fully heal himself. I guess if you do enough damage, he would never use Diarahan. I guess his health has a certain threashold when he uses it, but it isn't scripted later. I have that attempt recorded on my channel, and I was like "what" when the fight was suddenly over without him even using it. I mean, it's one thing to have an overleveled party to finish him off very fast in only 4 press turns or so, but I in that attempt I didn't really do that whole lot of damage. I guess it worked the same way in your video, and he forgot to use it.
I'm not sure of his chance to Diarahan. He did a few times for me. I've even had him Diarahan twice in the same attempt. Everything is chance based. His AI seems to love opening up Phase 3 with Root of Evil like 95% of the time it's how I tested exact hp thresholds for the phases. But everything is random with him so sometimes you will be spared, although in this attempt he'd already Dekaja'd me so no Root of Evil just meant I wasnt at risk of taking huge damage since Chronicles has Diarahan and RoE includes auto Dekaja on top
@@Ziroikabiyeah, the fight is pretty random. On my recent attempt he also used Diarahan twice. He's similar to Satan from DDS 2, that also fully heals on low health and you need to play that game with a calculator. The problem with Lucifer though is his love for Dekajas and Dekundas, unlike with Satan, that removes everything at a certain point. Anyway, congrats on your amazing achievement! Your build is by far the best I've seen for a solo run.
Just from reading the things you wrote this sounds insane
the reaper is super susceptible to AI abuse! on my first time, i realized i could keep a team member poisoned the whole time so he wouldnt use any other status moves that could rob me of a turn, just do his very managable damge
im speechless, this fight on itself requires an insane amount of RNG to beat even while having the most powerful party members in the game, and seeing you do this solo is crazy. huge W

Timestamps for every mission with info added if necessary: Mission 1: 0:24 Mission 2: 4:36 Mission 3: 10:31 Mission 4: 17:12 Mission 5: 29:39 By standing under the bridge turn 1 the engineer will waste his only good weapon which can one-shot any of my pigs. Then by standing close to enemies behind shelters they will hit them while trying to target me. Mission 6: 55:45 This is the first mission that is pretty tricky. Snipers do a flat 40 damage and a direct Mortar hit will insta-kill any of my pigs, they also have shell fragments so any turn where the AI isn't being manipulated by my positions has a high chance to reset, escaping the minefield by blowing up a mine in a place only 1 tile thick is good for this one Mission 7: 1:12:05 The first mission a vehicle is introduced. Luckily the enemies AI in pillbox can be tricked and often inaccurate by standing behind trees or slopes far away. Super TnT is extremely useful for removing a pillbox if you can't control them or taking out a pig that gives you a headache. Once they run out of ammo they will jump out which allows you to jump in and stall the AI. Mission 8: 1:26:53 This mission is easiest done when playing aggressive as after a turn limit 2 Spies (late game enemies) will drop in and it becomes very hard to win. I don't know why the AI drowned itself twice but I've seen it replicated very rarely. Mission 9: 1:34:33 The first mission to introduce a special bonus. A very quick mission with the airstrike used, just hard to navigate minefields. Engineers can detect mine tiles but I have to rely on memory with Grunts. Mission 10: 1:41:58 The wall-climb near the start point allows you to Super TnT both tanks on turn 1 and damage the special bonus box, making a usually difficult map into something very manageable. Mission 11: 1:53:55 The first major roadblock of the challenge. Back in my ps1 run years ago this took me a long time to do because while you can control enemy attacks often, rng is reseeded every frame dependant on inputs and this changes their movement patterns which in a lot of cases means one of the 4 snipers will kill someone because it takes so long to get round to the same pig to move them into a safe position. Mission 12: 2:12:40 You can abuse all the tanks as a safety net to give your pigs more useful weapons and more health. The 3 enemy ones need to be destroyed to obtain the bonus. Mission 13: 2:23:24 This mission is incredibly difficult if you don't know how to manipulate pillboxes or stall the enemy AI, staying down low behind a hill and removing the closest pillbox usually makes someone jump out of theirs, you can then get in it and attack the other pillboxes while stalling the enemy on top till the end. Mission 14: 2:45:48 The minefield is a checked pattern so you can easily get past and stay near the walls to force the AI to shoot you with pistols instead of using their explosive weapons. Mission 15: 2:54:29 You have to keep the wine cellar intact to gain the bonus here. By standing close to the Spies at the opposite end of the explosive barrels you can manipulate them to shoot it damaging or completely killing themselves. Mission 16: 3:00:45 You need to take control of the tanks as fast as you can, if not the commando will take one and the grunt will too although sometimes his AI glitches on the bridge so he wont. You can use the slopes to your advantage and then destroy the tanks at the end to claim both special bonuses. Mission 17: 3:21:14 This mission has a bugged medal on the PAL version which is impossible to obtain, however a "glitch" to get an extra medal in 23 exists which counters this. You're supposed to get 1 medal for every 2 tents you destroy but this does not happen in PAL. In fact destroying the tents in some orders will outright not drop you even 1 medal for some reason. Normally that wouldn't be an issue but destroying them in a good order to kill the Commandos before they get a turn to regain HP is vital and this bug complicates things. Mission 18: 3:27:12 This mission originally took me over a month to do in my old run. By baiting poison gas the Spies are left with nothing to throw only their sniper and TnT. If you're out of their line of sight when they have no gas they will just infinitely hide giving you free turns allowing you to take out other Spies or destroy the medal box. The Spies can move unpredictably at times and steal health kits or get lucky shots so there is some luck involved. Mission 19: 4:01:55 Like the previous mission this one has a lot of luck in it that the Surgeon and Spy both move randomly, by keeping them down below you can make them mostly harmless. By standing around where I do the launcher shot on turn 1 the Spy will always throw a poison gas that fails to hit anyone rendering him useless once knocked off. But if they move too close to a pig before you get a chance to move away you'll likely lose someone. This is made even worse by the fact you have to wait for a Pyrotechnic to spawn which holds a medal. So by hiding from the pillboxes view you can bait the other one out for a mortar shot and then go inside and break his AI maximising free turns for your team and then use the 2 moving tank pods as extra hp for any pigs that need to move or are low. Mission 20: 4:28:25 This mission sucks in that you have to wait so long for the second medal to drop. Luckily with all the medicine balls and the height advantage the 8x Surgeons are pretty useless as long as you keep distanced. (I completely forgot till the end that multiple people can get the High Explosive Grenades from the drop point) Mission 21: 5:10:30 The worst mission in the game, by far its not even close. So much so I allowed fast forward because of the luck involved and amount of waiting there was. You can have multiple people in the Shelter which will bait most attacks, however the Commando on the slope will always path find across to you so you have to play aggressive at the start in hope you can knock him behind the hill with the rocket launcher. Parts of the hill break the AI into not adjusting the angle of their bazookas and they blow themselves up. So once everyone is safely in the bunker you keep waiting until the first Commando dies. You then get given a Guided Missile which you can then use extremely precisely to knock a second Commando down into pathfinding to the rocket launcher crate by the shelter, this will also break his AI. Rinse and repeat until 1 Commando is left then I sent my healthiest pig across to retrieve the special bonuses before kill him as fast as I could. The issue is the bunker is far from safe, almost all my failed attempts were from a lucky bazooka shot just barely hitting someone and causing me to lose. With this mission done it gets a little easier from here on out. Mission 22: 5:35:56 Casually this mission is hard but you can use wall-climbing to take over the pillbox before the scout can which is normally supposed to happen and obtain the 2 jetpacks to infinitely stall the pigs inside the tanks and also collect the crates the game drops for them. The Hero looks scarier than he is, it's the Commando reinforcements that are terrifying. This attempt really should have failed when the second Commando used an airburst on me but the blimp in the sky took the shot which was incredible. Some of the enemy turns here are very predictable with precise placement especially the scout shooting but the rifles range dropping off before hitting my pigs. Mission 23: 6:02:49 This mission would likely be impossible if it wasn't for the bridge. By hiding under it you can bait all 4 airstrikes to take no damage at all. Then its almost like you're fighting 4 Commandos but you can abuse Shelters, Pillboxes and the good weapons to take them out. When weakened providing the Shelter is healthy enough they will just hide inside forever giving more free turns to plan out. Looking at the victory screen you can see there are only 4 special bonuses despite me picking up 5. The 1 in the corner and 4 in the centre, 1 for each Hero killed. By positioning your pig under the final medal drop point you will obtain this extra medal after killing the last Hero which was unintended, coincidentally making up for the bugged mission 17 one. Mission 24: 6:23:04 Aside from the incredibly short time limit of 15 seconds this level isn't inherently hard. It's tricky because of the amount of rng there is to it. Each grenade hit or the guided missile will have a different outcome in how it knocks around enemies making it impossible to plan a consistent strategy for. I had to memorise the enemy pig turn order and try make them hurt themselves with their own pistols or flamethrowers. I allowed use of the infinite timer exploit as it didnt completely break the level, just allowed me to collect all the special bonuses easier and gave me some lee weigh to position myself better. Mission 25: 6:35:25 Normally after your second turn 1 Legend of every enemy colour will drop in. A Legend is a normally unreachable rank higher than a Hero. If allowed to spawn I don't think there is any way this level would be physically possible. Fortunately by getting on top of the pillbox the Purple Gunner inside will jump out, by precisely blowing yourself onto the centre he will bounce off your head and slip close to the poison water, then all you need is a very very precise grenade blast to knock him into the centre of the water enough so he BARELY drowns before escaping. And with that there you have it, finally video proof that you can get all 100 medals in Hogs of War only using Grunts.
This is me when i REFLECT PHYS
Damn, well congrats on the run and gathering all the info. Its neat to see people really learn the ins and outs of the games they love
Ok, you can get some mutations on skills, but in the shuffle time, why do you get the jokers cards when i suppose you can get it only when you defeat the shadows on monad by getting his cards like, sun, empress, lovers, etc. Something doesn't looks right or maybe is a special enemy which u can get that cards if u defeat him it doesn't matter if u dont get the arcana cards...
You get those cards ranks from the Reaper automatically regardless of your floor Also Monad Doors dont even effect the rank of cards they just allow more major arcana ones which I didn't get since I hadn't done them.
Big brain move 😮, grats guys 🎉
guys how u get repel slash and strike
Waiter! Waiter! More repel skills please!!!
