Part 19: Ragnarok Dooms Us All

Look at our battle clock! See the minute hands counting down your doom from the hour hands!

Check out their amazing walk! Alright cool let's head to the Zone Eater.

Chrono Trigger - World Revolution

Whoops! I bet you thought there wouldn't be any boss battles this update. Me either.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pDnqiyFMTU - Here is me getting my ass beat several times.



Auto Vanish, what a turd. Luckily I don't have Reflect on anyone so its opening attack is useless.



This is also where I discover that Popuko's R-Water is All Target and Roulette. That is way less than ideal.



It absorbs water anyway.



However it doesn't absorb body blows from Fuuko. That's a spicy hit!



And that is a terribly spicy counter hit.



Slots: Gems gets us Tritoch. Doom Gaze absorbs one of those elements.



Slots: Airships uses Terrato. Doom Gaze is floating so it misses.




Slots: Chocobos. For reasons I don't understand but won't question, Gogo's Desperation Attack can hit vanished enemies with the third highest power of all the DAs. I guess it's counted as a magical attack?

As for the rest of the Slots uh...slots; BAR-BAR-BAR remains a random summon and 7-7-BAR is still a Joker Doom that kills your entire party.

There is also a trick to getting the slot you want that you can see in the video. You basically just pause at certain moments to guarantee yourself the slot you want. It's not 100% perfect though things can be modifed based on the animation of certain attacks. However Wombat is not something I'm worried about enough to bother trying to do all the time.



Wind attacks are stronger the higher in the air you are.

No they aren't.



Same deal with cold attacks.



Anyway fuck that, we'll be back for Doom Gaze later.



Suck my clock cock with your no-lip mouth! EXTREMELY NSFW, BTW.



Woolsey is a treat.

Chrono Trigger - Primitive Mountain

I honestly don't understand how this dungeon works at all, unless the Zone Eater is actually bigger than the sprite, or if it's got some TARDIS shit going on. Maybe all these rocks are just a tumor eating away at it?



I tried to think of a Lisa Kudrow joke but literally all I know about her is her name.

However these sprites are goofy as hell and I love 'em.



Erica here has the following skills: Cure 3, Fire, Fire 2, Fire 3, Flare, Haste, Regen. For some reason, the only one they tried to cast was Flare and it just..didn't do anything. Not even an animation or text box saying it failed. They don't have auto mute or anything either.



Ruff has an attack called "Snap Chomp" and if that isn't the most appropriate combination ever I don't know what is.



Ammosedie has 10,429 HP and boy was I surprised when an X-Meteo didn't kill it.



Oooooh, a monster in a box! I bet it's something from the WoB, something real easy that could never ever be a problem for this team with very little healing.

Etrian Odyssey III - Unrest - End of the Raging Waves

Oh my god I take it back, please don't hurt me!



BLARGH.

Take a moment, and consider your FF6 knowledge. Based on the screenshots I've provided and this here stat block, how do you think the battle went?

Despite having Ice 3 as a skill, Pugs will only ever Battle, and use their Special. A character that is vanished or otherwise immune to physical attacks can take as much time as they need. Fuuko just happened to use a Rage that gave them Vanish last battle, and then used a Rage this battle that didn't cast spells on themself. The Pugs' Ice 3 is actually used as a counter ONLY if you cast magic at them.




By sheer random luck on the part of the most random character I have, I had exactly what I needed to kill these things easily. That isn't the best part, however. This is:



Yes, yes, and please yes thank you.



The Offering is vanilla but it can be equipped by 12 of the potential 14 party members. Probably the other two can as well but I haven't encountered them so they don't show up in lists yet.



Look at that thing, it's glorious!

Now in the interest of fairness, I'm told the MP Critical effect is useless because Ragnarok ignores defense anyway and so can't crit, and Ultima won't do full damage unless you're in the front row.

However I don't care because this is a cool ass sword. And if nothing else, it's an obscene stat stick.



Goodness. I'm glad all of you voted for this dungeon. I had completely forgotten Excalibur was even in this game because it ONLY drops from Goddess, one of the last bosses before the final fight and I haven't actually played vanilla in years.

It's like a baby form of Ragnarok but that's OK. +20 Evade and +10 MBlock is super good.

Final Fantasy IV - Land of Dwarves

It's so cute! I just wanna rub this bunny all over!



Whoops. That's a lawsuit.

(This is Bunny Link from A Link To The Past, replacing Terra)



Now normally these commands wouldn't excite me, nor would Zepeli starting at level 3 due to a bug (fixed in the latest update). However if you recall, Zepeli is one of the three people that can wield Ragnarok/Excalibur (and most likely Illumina) as well as having a ridiculously high Magic Power. They can currently equip Carbunkl, Stray and Shiva. Stray's +1 to Stamina is useless but teaches Cure 2. Carbunkl adds +1 Strength and Shiva has +1 Speed and Zepeli has tons of levels to go. If nothing else, I can give them the legendary combo of Genji Gloves and Offering to swing two Ragnaroks for eight hits total!

Honestly I can't thank all of you enough for providing me this bounty.

PS Gogo in the previous seed was Just A Mimic, how boring.
------------------------------------------------------------

ALL TREASURES
Ether
24200 GP
Tabby Suit
Excalibur
Crystal Shld
Hero Ring
Doom Darts
Guardian

Some good stuff here, all of it pretty close to vanilla. Doom Darts can go on Fuuko, giving them an insta-kill if needed.

------------------------------------------------------------

Please VOTE for which location we should aim for next from this list:

Mt. Zozo
Cave on the Veldt
Owzer's House
Doma Castle - Since I have no idea what Magitek Armor skills are in this game, I will be taking Zepeli to this place. They are our Terra replacement and so will have all eight available Magitek skills instead of just four.
Narshe - If you choose Narshe please only vote for three characters, to make room for Mog's replacement. We will be recruiting both characters from Narshe.

Please ALSO VOTE for the four characters we will bring with us, with any changes that are noted above.






Voting will last for one week, until Sunday, August 25th 2019.
