Endgame leveling up

Dengar · Post by **Dengar** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 9:13 am

What's the best way to level up? I seem to be doing pretty well data draining guardians and killing bracelets in Omega Rotting Countless Sacrifice, but I'm wondering if there's an even faster way than that.

I'd like to note that the best way to level up low level characters is to take two of them with you and fight Goblin Machines. You can easily solo take out all of them, and if there's four, that's two levels at once.

I'm trying to level up Kite for getting through Hidden Darkside Holy Ground. I don't think it's healthy to go from full blue to full green after a single battle.

Try areas with Chosen Hopeless, or Reincarnated Purgatorial, Even, Pulsating Worst, or mix them up and see what you get, just don't settle for anything blow lvl. 98.

There's no data bugs in random fields, I hope?

Not as far as I know, hehe, though a few of the Higfher end enemies have unique wapons you can get from Data Draining them.

Yes, but at least then I can decide when I want to use it.

Indeed so, but prepare to lost two or three levels in that last dungeon, sigh that place, is defenitely the worst place in the game...

I already lost three (started at 95), and I'm only at B7. It's amazing I haven't gotten a System Error yet, given that I've been in the red since B3. On the plus side, it's at least worthy of being the hardest dungeon in the game.

Sigh, yes it is, you didn't bring Blackrose did you?

Dengar · Post by **Dengar** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 11:05 am

I brought Helba, why?

Alright... Here's my own little personal horror story, I had made it to B9 (I thought the dungeon would only be 10 floors,heh, I was dead wrong!) I had made it to the room before the stairway, I have Blackrose and Elk, just like in the old days of Mutation. Before this outside the dungeon I had given each of them 99 resurrects. Alright we make it to B9 and there are the accursed physical resistant Lich things. We all die, Kite get's confused and kills Blackrose, Elk revives her and Kite proceeds to kill Elk. Well, those tings use some kind of magic attack over and over again, and I'm just dead. I tell her to resuurect me, note she is ot confused or anything, she is PHYSICALLY ATTACKING THE PHYSICALLY IMMUNE MONSTERS! So now, I keep on pressing first aid first aid, she consistently says, "That's not my concern!" She dies, game over, two hours of life wasted. I slam the PS2 with my hand, pretty much scarring it for the rest of it's existence.

So did you ever make it down?

I brought Helba, since I figured a 15-floor dungeon would put a big toll on my item supply, and with Helba around... Well, lets just say items aren't really necessary.

Yeah... I brought Balmung, it seemed much easier that time around.

Got a system error at B13, but I don't feel bad about it. I'll just try again at level 99

Wow, being level 99 really does make a difference.

Same thing happened to me..I never let her join my party ever again..

Maybe she just ran out of restorative.

Xu Yuan · Post by **Xu Yuan** » Sun Apr 23, 2006 5:26 pm

Not when I gave her 99 Resurrects and 50 restoratives and 50 Antidotes and Elk 99 Resurrects in town...

Good to hear you got to lv99, but even though I'm too late since nobody said it yet, ASTRO KING is the best monster to defeat for leveling up. They take so much shorter than the Guardian/Bracelet and they don't waste your infection. Plus, they give you about as much experience. You can find them in almost any lv99 or 98 field.

Just a tip for anyone else reading this thread...

I did Darkside at level 87 though.

But that's another story...

There Was a theory i heard about...once you reach 99 ,Your infection level barly increases...does ny1 know if this rumor is true?
