Fionordequester's video: Part 29 Silent : Breath of Fire II Walkthrough Crooked Ladder Abyss Tower Infinity

THUMBNAIL ART BY: The cover of "Pandemonium: Devourer of the Lost" (by "Derek Edgington"). This is a cropped version of the full cover. WARNING: The overlays for the Bighands and Wraith Guards are slightly off, regarding their AI and attacks. They are as follows: ================= Bighand: Attack Once (12.5%), Attack Twice (75%), or Def-Down/Weaken (12.5%) Wraith Guard: Cast Drain or Leech Power with probability 17/256 (if over 50% HP), 33/256 (if over 25% and at most 50%), 65/256 (if over 12.5% and at most 25%), or 129/256 (if 12.5% HP or under) Otherwise Attack ================= RE: "I INVENTED THIS SPEED RUN STRAT" STATEMENT: My memory was a bit self-serving—the truth is that it was a team effort. A GameFAQs member called "DrugsRBad" discovered that dead PCs did not add to your run chance. I realized the possibilities of that—so I made a test video to confirm that it was true. It was! My Djinni Sten could run from enemies with near impunity! I brought up the idea to Xujhan (the main Glitchless runner), who then battle-tested the strat. He found that Devil Lin would often outrun things even at LVL 17, hence...the strat! See our conversation, here: https://lpix.org/4159360/Screenshot.png WISDOM FRUIT RECIPE (have at least two before the final dungeon): x2 Stamina Ups + x2 Tunas (If you got Daiye) SprRib/Sirloin + Fire Spice + x2 Vtmns/Sacred Dews (If you don't have Daiye) Sirloin is earned by killing a Grizzly Bear in a hunting spot—I recommend fusing Saynie + Synne to Bosch to create Robo Bosch. He has great range, and a fast enough rate of fire to stun-lock the animals you hunt (though you don't want to mash too fast or too slow). Fire Spices are buyable from Guntz (x2 Fire Spices + x2 Tunas = Stamina). Vtmns/Sacred Dews are buyable from every early-game shop, up to SimaFort/Fort Nageur. ----------------------------------------- THE ROUTE: Newhaven: —Buy a weapon for Ryu so you can remove the Emperor's Edge Township: Re-do Djinni Sten and create Devil Lin with Synne Find a Wisdom Fruit in the middle house —Cook another Wisdom Fruit if this doesn't bring you up to two—or don't. It's not essential. Warp to Gate Gate: —CHANGE PARTY: Ryu/Rand/Lin/Sten —EQUIP: Speed Shoes + Speed Suit + all your mightiest armor on Sten. Equip Tiara + all Vigor boosters to Lin, or the weakest armor you have (depending on if you allow optional fusions). Equip the weakest armor you have on Ryu & Rand. Infinity/Abyss Tower, Part 1: (Too little space for enemy stats—SEE THE OVERLAYS IN THE VIDEO) Slay Ryu & Rand (and Lin, if you're banning optional fusions). Collect the Shiny Helm, Shadowstitch, & Final Blow on your way down —Get the DreamBR/Hell Brace, if you plan to solo the semi-final boss. Flee from every random encounter, except for those with Ganymedes—possibly Bighands, Evil Dragons, & x2 Cavalriders too, if you want to be safe. —Ganymede Swarm: Use Emperor's Edge to ORKO —Ganymede + Daedalus: Switch —Bighands, Evil Dragons, or x2 Cavalriders: Switch if you want to be safe—you're not reaching 100% Flee rates unless the game's internal clock was in the right spot before entering. These foes can do enough damage in one round to undo your fusion. x1 Cavalrider can be OHKOed via Ares Shield + Sten Attack (w/Crimson Dirk/BananaDR equipped). Dologany/Dragnier: AVOID TALKING TO MEN WITH ORANGE HAIR! —SELL: Vitamins, Restoratives, Ammonias, Blast Fist, Holy Tears, Ice Shield, Earth Armor, Fire Spices, Crimson Dirk, Rainbow Robe, Circlet, & Bare Knuckle —BUY: Vitamin & Ammonia stacks till you have 9 open slots left. Infinity/Abyss Tower, Part 2: Avoid Infinity for now—that will undo fusions, and we can death warp here later. Get Riot Staff, Dragon Armor, & Dragon Sword on the way to the dark room —Switch out Charons & Ammons—maybe Dragoons for safety. Do your equipment swapping outside the dark room, lest you risk crashing your game :\ ...
