A strong weapon for Haseo in the beginning of Reminisce?

Maaku · Post by **Maaku** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 6:28 pm

I was at level 50. o-o;
I saw him start to glow with those red lines aiming for Pi so I used Bonecrusher on him.
But even as I was hitting him with it, he was still going on hitting Pi shouting "Twin Moons!" in a really deep, demented kind of way.
He wouldn't stop.

Yeah... But the weaps stay level 50-51, with level 100-108-whatever stats.

so the weapon that you get from dopple - do you not get it until vol. 2? Cause I don't remember getting a weapon...

No you just get the Own King item that lets you get the Dopple weapons in Vol. 2

So it's probably best to be at Level 50 before you fight him, or it doesn't matter since he's always 8 levels stronger than you?

He kicked my ass twice(I'm at level 45). Of course, I did have Silabus and Gaspard. I'll try Pi, Kuhn, and/or Piros.

My recommendation/what I did:
Go to a field that's around your level, say, 45--50.
Take out every mob of monsters and save your Beast Awakening.
Grab a book or a handheld game or listen to music or something for ten minutes. When ten minutes is up, go wander around the field until you find him.

I had both Kuhn and Pi on Rage, but I shifted the one with the most health to Life if our HP dropped too low. I also had more than enough Health Serums, Sprite Rains, Heal Rains, Sprite Drops, etc. to keep the party going.
Use your Beast Awakening takes out a lot of his HP. I just recommend using Dual Swords because sometimes it's hard for me to charge up my broadsword (the hold and release for Broad Wings) when you're moving so fast in Beast Awakening.

kinda but i prefer the ripper blades

I used the Ripper's Blades that you get from the Bounty Hunter Campaign after you clear the blacklist of Chaotic PKs.
It's a level 45 pair of Dual Swords that have the spinning effect. I think one of the highest level weapons in Vol.1, I'm not sure.

If you haven't already, I'm pretty sure you can start the Bounty Hunter Campaign at the Quest Shop in Mac Anu.
I highly recommend Delta Server Elegant Aster's Berserker.
There's a Battle Area RIGHT THERE near the platform that you Gate Into--you should see it right away. Rush in and find yourself a Chaotic PK. Also, there's a Mecha Grunty lying around nearby too, if you haven't finished the Mecha Grunty campaign, as well as a few trees with chim chims in them.

what level is the dopples weapons that you get from own king?

Jimbob · Post by **Jimbob** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 6:11 pm

51 but they are actually the most powerful weapons in the game except maybe for the inital form of Haseo's lost weapon (which is slightly weaker but has better magic stats) They get outclassed eventually in Vol.3 though.

As a side note are the weapons only usuable by Haseo? Or can other members use them?

Maaku · Post by **Maaku** » Tue Apr 17, 2007 7:00 pm

Hmm...
I'm not sure, but as far as weapon-to-PC compatibility goes, Alkaid should be able to use the Menacing Invasion (Dual Swords) and Zelkova could use the Menacing Zero (Scythe).

But I don't think you'd give it to him anyway, since I think he comes with a really good scythe anyway when he joins your party.

But I already know that one of the first things I'm going to do in Vol.2 is to go to a field and find Dopple.

Yeah i was thinking of going up against the Dopple to see where i stand. And if i beat him i will only use his weapons as a last resort.

Well in Vol 1 some of the battles for the Arena i over level but for the Alkaid battle i didn't bother and i almost got creamed.

Animango · Post by **Animango** » Sat Apr 21, 2007 12:19 pm

yeah, I don't think I'm going to level up as quickly in vol.2. I leveled up too fast and the arena was a pushover. though dopple did almost kill me once, he was the only big challenge at the end. I was kinda disappointed. -_-,

I am just wondering since none of the people who have played the japanese version have mentioned, is it actually plausable to fight doppleganger at the begining of vol. 2 and win? It seems that most of you waited until the end to fight him, sorry if the question was already answered in a previous topic, I was just wondering if I should try once my game comes in or if it is just a waste of time until later in the game.

Maaku · Post by **Maaku** » Tue May 01, 2007 9:01 pm

Actually, I was wondering about that too. I plan on fighting Dopple early on--before the Job Extension, even.

Demon_Skeith · Post by **Demon_Skeith** » Tue May 01, 2007 9:13 pm

you will need strong weapons and armor to stand aginst him and Beast Awakening will help

Jimbob · Post by **Jimbob** » Tue May 01, 2007 9:14 pm

People have said that they tried to take him thinking he would go down as easily as the end of Volume 1 and he wiped the floor with them. So I'd say it'd be pretty hard. In Vol.3 he's a beast but I don't exactly know how beastly he is in Vol.2.
