    If anyone goes Toko farming and finds themselves struggling to defeat the island familiars, then please check out my video demonstration which shows the best familiar to use, recommended level, prep before going, and battle strategy: ua-cam.com/video/O9ThTW-U7L0/v-deo.html

      I will also point out that if you are grinding tokos or their variants you can use cutscene moves like cut loose to keep them from running away if you time it right

    some things to note as someone who has 100% the game and its achievements
    All item locations can be looked up in the wizard's companion and some items can only be stolen, remember to constantly mug enemies and even bosses it'll save you time if you decide to go for Mad Scientist and can give you helpful weapons during the story you'd otherwise half to make.
    Only Toko grind when you have Esther in your party, Toko's have the lowest tame chance of any familiar and are the strongest familiars of the base game you'll always want the chance of taming one when grinding them because you'll want/need two for Familiarologist.
    personal tip for people who have never actually played the game: the moons and stars mean things, its the games strength and weakness system.
    Sun types have advantage on Moon types and fire spells, Moon types have advantages on Star types and water spells, Star types have advantages on Sun types and electric spells.
    familiars have a chance of having their sign be double that just gives them a even bigger damage increase. Familiars also have a chance to be Planet signed. familiars that have the Planet sign are resistant to all other signs, familiars who have the double Planet sign have damage advantage on all signs including single sign planets.
    the game thankfully doesn't force this system down your throat but using it in when under leveled can help give you an advantage in a hard fight

    Also, move around on the battle field, and time when you're going to defend. Sometimes the charging up last longer than defend, meaning you did it for nothing.

    I’ve been playing for 45 hours and getting close to the end. Definitely the best advice I’d add (and agree with) is to grind. It’s not great game design that you have to do that, but you’ll be constantly beaten by bosses unless you spend a few hours levelling up. So definitely, hunt down the Toko for their massive XP

    • @NormanFoxLee

      The book can seem intimidating but to be very honest the most important thing about it is the alchemy. You could easily get by in the game without reading anything other than the formulas to create MP/HP restoring items :) If you do struggle with any part of the game or get stuck then I am currently doing a guided walkthrough on the channel with narration, commentary and tips that might help (uploaded every Wednesday).

    I’ve been stuck with the Glittering Grotto to get the stone, now for a few days. I lost motivation since I kept losing to the minions(?) so I just did side quests but I completed like almost all of them and have less than 10 left. I think I’m just going to grind for now. After watching this, I realised my mistake with the metamorphosing of my familiars. I also only learnt about the Tokos grind strategy from you so thanks a lot. I hope I can get pass through the Glittering Grotto soon! (Currently at 28hrs+ in-game) ☺️

      Its really nice to hear that people are still playing this game! Its so underrated. If u havent already, return to the temple of trials and trade in the Griffy familiar ticket (check ur bottomless bag)...it has really strong attack and might help! Or most familiars with Earsplitter are a good bet in general. My Catastroceros is basically invincible haha The glittering grotto also has some walls u can walk through so keep an eye out for any walls that shimmer :D - Heather

    I would add, as a alternative way for mp restoring items just play platoon in the Casino.
    Its a fun card game and if you win 5/6 times in a row you'll have earned a couple 100ks and after 1/2 hours i came out with 30x a full mp/hp item and 30x a full team hp item + enough badges to get every Char up to 4 stars movement speed.
    Ps. Also you can exchange 10k chips for 2.9k money through selling the weapon, which for me was the best way to get the 500k trophy.

  • @Brand-pn5yz
    @Brand-pn5yz Рік тому +1

    Things i found out in my gameplay:
    1) enemy ! Mark
    If your under leveled, you may think this means they are chasing you. However that is not the case. This actually means they saw you.
    So they give chase to you. However it is possible to avoid encounters. It may seem impossible to avoid them but thats where your wrong.
    Each enemy has there own way of chasing you. However some enemies will charge straight forward. Making a straight line without any turns. And some enemies are faster/slower then others
    If your over leveled, they start to run away from you. If they continue to run, they fade off the map ending the chase.
    2) quests and bounties
    The quests and bounties arent limited to the area your in. But all the areas in ni no kuni. New ones comes in after you finish a main story quest.
    At first they are strictly limited to one area like at ding dong dell. But as you progress the main story, they start to expland.
    The quests and bounties do not have there own level but the number of stamps. Sometimes you get a bonus stamp. The number of stamps applied to a quest or bounty may be used as a difficulty level. Like 1-5 stamps. 1 the easiest and 5 the hardest.
    3) familiars
    when you get new familiars or you upgrade them, they start at lvl 1. But every familar is different in statitics and exp rates.
    Getting low exp rates gives you more bonuses. But getting high exp rate gives you less bonuses.
    For example: familiars with high exp rate:
    +5 at +5 def
    Low rate:
    +1 atk +2 def
    However the stat that will get the best is depending on what genius and symbol they have.
    You gotta know the symbol weakeness/strength path.
    Sun -> Moon -> Star
    Sun is stronger then moon but weaker then star
    Moon is stronger then star but weaker then sun
    Star is stronger then sun but weaker then moon.
    4) Combat
    Every familiar has different stat values but they also have different attack and movement speed. These cannot be upgraded however.
    If you have esther in the party and she dies, she and her familiars will still gain exp.
    5) Areas
    Each area has enemies with different levels and the areas are usually blocked from entering until certain magic is acquired or progressing the story. WARNING!!! if you do attempt to unblock a area that was blocked then enter, enemies will make short work of you!
    6) treats and metamorphosis crystals
    Treats are used to give one of the stats a boost! And metamorphosis gems evolves them. However theres a limit to how much stats can go up(10 at default).
    However you can increase the cap by giving them there favorite treat. Each familiar GENIUS will have there own favorite treat! When you give them a favorite treat, the hearts will show when they finished eating. Plus there familiarity heart will grow. When it grow completely, the cap increases.
    You can go up to 50 stat boost cap.

    Thank you so much for putting this together. A brilliant video, and thanks to your efforts I think I'm going to get more enjoyment out of it. One puzzling thing is the side and bounty quests. In the Xenoblade games, if you want to take on a side quest you select it and you have a lovely breadcrumb system guiding you to the goal(s). I've not seen anything like that here. You have the star icon pointing you towards the next main story goal, but I couldn't find anything to point you towards a side quest goal. Have I missed something or are you left to your own devices when it comes to finding the locations of side quests and bounties?
    Keep up the great work!

They also show as blue and green flashing dots on the map of the area you are in. I hope this helps :)

    When you show the battle with the porco machine thingy, it looks like you do defend for yourself and an all out defend but then the attack still massively damages you?? Is that bc the attack is just ridiculously hard hitting or did you defend timer run out? Tho for the latter I wouldn’t have thought so since it wasn’t even a long time span since you defend and when the attack hits. I’m about to go into this battle so any help would be appreciated! (I also don’t have enough ingredients to make cappuccinos or espressos yikes) Thank you!

    • @Amalgamingle
      @Amalgamingle  2 роки тому +1

      Unfortunately, defending only reduces the amount of damage taken. Porco is weak to storm magic so i switch between Esthers Drongo and Olivers magic, and defend at the right moments to prompt 'nice!' which spawns golden glims. In my playthrough I got a lot golden glims using this strategy so i could perform lots of miracle moves :) Hope this helps.

      Its definitely worth getting and the combat system is far from boring.

So far I defeated 3 bosses & have about 24 hours game play.

      The only reason I can think of to create separate save slots would be if you want to easily revisit certain moments in the game. Otherwise I'm not sure why you would need separate save slots. It does cost money to continue a game after dying though, so perhaps it might be worth saving before boss battles so you can reload the save without having to spend money to continue

If you return to the temple of trials you should be able to trade in the tickets for stronger familiars. I highly recommend using Griffy because it has high physical attack.

      What level are you? I'm normally around level 27 before taking on tokos. Its best to get the most XP from each area before moving on. A good way to tell when you have exhausted XP is that the familiars in the area start running away from you.
