Lastly, I encountered a few (potential) bugs/oversights, which might be worth fixing:
- "St. Hermelin High Uniform (Male)" can only be equipped by Laura, but Leon, being the only male person in the party, should probably be the only one who's able to equip it, shouldn't he? Otherwise, there wouldn't be an armor in this price range for him.
- Is it intended that the Mystery Merchant sells the gun for 999999 Gold only when meeting him at his first location?
- Beach Scape, at the beginning of episode 3 after the cutscene at Surt's house: Contrary to prior visits, there isn't a new treasure chest in the northern part (only in the southern part) (might or might not be intentional).
- Adenia Robotics, weapon development factory: When examining the black-market computer for the first time, Anderson's dialogue is displayed even when he has already left the party (i.e. if the player examines the black-market computer for the first time during episode III onwards).
- Adenia Academy: If the player revisits the storage room in the west wing later, the cutscene from the end of episode II plays again.
- Adenia, Silver Lion Casino: The items that can be bought from the vending machines are "empty".
- Toki's Medicine isn't removed from the inventory after handing it over to Kinshicho's Elder.
- Demon Cave, Inner Depths: Despite the game hinting at the opposite, the Lady of the Lake heals the party always for free (not only the first time), and she doesn't sell any items.
- When the party is supposed to return from Nirvana to Vermillion Rouges Guild (Moonlit Town), the player can use the transport station in Nirvana once again to travel to Akihabara, and by entering Thor's room, the cutscene after the boss fight against him plays again. The same happens if the player returns here after having reached the point of no return during Episode VIII.
- Akihabara: When trying to leave the Apt. Building, the player gets stuck (wrong map transfer point), at least when returning here after having reached the point of no return during Episode VIII (game-breaking). Being able to buy more of the Legendary Bread (that's only available for purchase here) would have come in handy with regards to some of the more challenging boss fights.
- When Vermillion appears at Mt. Azure's entrance, she can still be found at Vermillion Guild (Moonlit Town) in her office at the same time.
- Tartarus: If the player returns to floor 8 after having beaten the boss, he can't leave the map (game-breaking).
Wow! You're amazing dude! I'm really glad you liked the game! Also I've spotted most of those bugs/oversights and are working on fixing them. I'm here to answer some stuff for ya!
Q- Adenia Robotics, weapon development factory: One NPC here mentions a gunsmith at Mt. Azure, whom I didn't manage to find.
A- Adenia Police Station: Must have broken sniper rifle in inventory, NPC at the top right corner will fix it for free.
Q- Hemera (Nirvana) mentions that a powerful Phantom Core can be obtained in the Demon Cave. Does she mean Fafnir, whom I had already beaten when I talked to Hemera, or is there another one (which I couldn't find despite scouring the whole Demon Cave once again)?
A- Hemera is talking about the demon Alice that you can meet and play "hide and seek" with if you decide to do her a favor. You then gain the Phantom Core: Alice afterwards. (This Phantom Core can missed)
Q- Is it intended that the Mystery Merchant sells the gun for 999999 Gold only when meeting him at his first location?
A- Yes! Since "The Colt" was the very first weapon I made when I started developing LRIII it was TOO BROKEN! But looking at it now Laura's "S.I.N Claws" makes it look weak! Lol
Thank you for Playing Lord's Reincarnation III!
I'm working on something right now I won't say much but...
I was able to get the Broken Sniper Rifle repaired early on in Adenia's police station, but I didn't know this was supposed to be the connection to what the NPC at Adenia Robotics said.
It's probably for the best that "The Colt" isn't available later, even though I was disappointed at first. If I had known that I needed to purchase "The Colt" before completing the first dungeon, I probably would have slain 2000 "Lv. 5 Elegant" (which drop 500 Gold) to amass the required money. These poor creatures - I already slaughtered enough of them to reach level 30 before venturing deeper into the first dungeon. :D
Thanks for letting me know about Alice. That's one Phantom Core I missed (hopefully the only one), even though I had gone through the whole Demon Cave again after talking to Hemera. Maybe I wasn't thorough enough, since I thought Hemera was probably talking about Fafnir, which I had already obtained at that point. I would check again right now out of curiosity, but your post suggests that Alice can't be encountered anymore at the end of Episode VIII when the player can travel to previously visited locations.
A post for the completionists among us: Are there more than the five EX episodes that I discovered (Adenia, Kinshicho, 2x Nirvana [Mido and Hemera] and lastly - after completing the game once - Tartarus)? Also, I managed to obtain 62 Phantom Cores, which means I'm confident I didn't miss too much of them (a lot of them are permanently missable).
There are a few loose ends, though - in particular:
- Adenia Robotics, weapon development factory: One NPC here mentions a gunsmith at Mt. Azure, whom I didn't manage to find.
- In Adenia (main area, western part), the NPC in the building on the second floor refused to acknowledge my demon slayer achievements until the very end.
- Hemera (Nirvana) mentions that a powerful Phantom Core can be obtained in the Demon Cave. Does she mean Fafnir, whom I had already beaten when I talked to Hemera, or is there another one (which I couldn't find despite scouring the whole Demon Cave once again)?
- There's a tombstone on the Seven Lords Island (previously encountered tombstones all contained optional boss monsters), but it seems the player doesn't get an opportunity to fight this one.
- A demon can be encountered in the Witches' Den (easternmost house, basement), but there's no way to interact with it.
- Even after having completed everything else, the player still isn't allowed to enter the mountains west of the Deep Woods.
- Some locations on the world map, especially the two fortresses near Shirakawa-go, can't be entered.
I would appreciate any information about whether I've missed something in this regard.
hey dude, I have alot of doubts/questions about the game so I would like to get your suggestions and stuff. so how can I contact you? like discord or Instagram
I don't use social media and the like. If you have any questions, ask away - that's one purpose of the comment section. Note that I didn't play the Gold Version with its 8 new optional bosses.
I just finished the game after at least 40 exciting hours. It was certainly one of the more difficult JRPGs I've played over the years. I'm worried that players might get stuck if they don't get everything as soon as possible before leaving Nirvana, especially buying all skills at the card shop and the equipment from Loki's dealer.
The most critical segment in this regard is Leon's solo trial during episode VII, since there isn't any way to leave or grind for EXP and money, and I deeply regretted leaving my Tome of the Void (prevents status ailments) with Medoka. Especially Leon's solo fight against Dagda is insanely difficult. Even taunting/enraging Dagda to avoid his spells doesn't help much, since his normal physical attacks are just as strong. This is the second fight after Law vs. Sanda that can make a player give up.
Still, the most frustrating fight was the second one against Metatron. His Hexagram skill, which he can fire off from turn 3 on or even earlier, instantly kills all party members with no way of evading or reflecting it. I don't know if this is the only or preferred way to beat him, but I was finally successful by taunting/enraging him, thus limiting him to normal attacks, and then only damaging him if I was sure that I would get a chance to reapply rage. The random encounters on Mt. Azure on the way to Metatron were no walk in the park, either, and sometimes required very specific steps.
Speaking of unfair skills, the final main storyline boss can - during his second phase - utilize a skill that makes all party members skip at least one turn, so it's advised to beat him as fast as possible. Contrary to that, I could - to my surprise - effortlessly defeat the Reaper (invisible encounter in Tartarus, floor 6), whereas it took me much more time to beat the Angel on floor 1 in the same dungeon.
The last time I was in trouble was against the final boss enemies in Tartarus Tower. While it was soon obvious that I needed to take out the healer first, I was only able to emerge victorious by managing to freeze Baal and avoiding to get constantly one-shot by the main boss. By the way, I'm not sure if I could have defeated any of the late-game bosses without (ab)using the "Void Claws: Terminus" skill provided by Laura's "S.I.N Claws" - discovering and using all available resources really makes a difference.
So yeah, the enemies are challenging, but for those who don't mind that, I can highly recommend giving this game a try.
Now I've hit a real roadblock. How am I supposed to beat Sanda with Law alone? The huge issue here is that Sanda's second phase "True Lightning" multi-hit skill kills Law no matter what I do. Of course, I always have "Trick" for evasion+ active on Law, otherwise I wouldn't even survive until the second phase, but the "True Lightning" multi-hit skill always seems to hit despite evasion+ - two normal hits or one critical hit are enough to kill off Law. Is the fight simply unbalanced (unintentionally) or am I missing some important strategic option? Edit: Never mind, I finally figured out that the "Taunt" skill not only includes buffs and an HP increase, but also unlocks even better "Taunt" skills, which is enough of a boost to win the battle.
You have to use Law's "Rank" skills... For Example: D Rank -> C Rank -> B Rank and so on. You want to get access to his SS Rank or SSS Rank skills which gives Law CRAZY buffs! (All Rank skills are instant)
Use Law's "Rank" skills together with "Trick" and you'll win with no problems!
(Also feel free to ask for help I'll always be willing to help out!)
I'm enjoying the game immensely at the moment due to its captivating storyline and clever exploration incentives. Unfortunately, I might have maneuvred myself into an unfavorable situation. After Medoka's class change, she's supposed to acquire new skills until reaching the maximum level (50). Does that mean she won't learn any news skills if I let her reach level 50 before her class change (which I did)? If so, it would be great if you could implement some sort of failsafe, like letting the game check after a battle if it should bestow any skills upon Medoka regardless of a level-up, or maybe create an NPC somewhere that lets here gain all previously "missed" skills. Edit: It seems I was a bit too hasty. I just reached the battle during which Medoka's class change really took effect, and it seems she has access to all skills. Sorry for doubting you. :D
