The Magashi Quest Is Hard!

[pinkace]

I switched my level 100 female beast back to Fortefighter 20 so that I could do this quest. I loaded up on megisterides, mates and all my best equipment. I can't make it past the second room after the first cut-scene with that creepy woman.

Has anyone in my situation cleared this mission? any tips or tricks?

[Randomness]

My best so far is C-1 with a 114/19 Newman M WT.

Frankly, melee is probably a bad choice here. There are a lot of high-damage spells flying around (Megid, Foie and Diga), there's a room with a ton of Zoonas, and you have very limited healing (Unless you're a force, in which case its somewhat limited)

I wouldn't run this with FF. You have 29 trimates to clear the mission. (20 at start, 1 forced drop in A-1, and another 8 in B-2) You have 10 photon charges, plus whatever you loot, and a PP cube in B-2. Finally, you will have a lot of dimate drops, but they won't help you in the middle of a fight.

Frankly, I'd go to FI at least, for some decent guns.

Also, at level 100, you need to remember that the enemies are all 160 or higher. Even if they're quicker than normal to kill, they're going to hit you hard. You have two choices:avoid getting hit (ranged), or heal profusely (techs). A pure melee class isn't going to cut it.

Oh yeah. Bil De Vear x2 on a bridge.

I honestly don't remember how far I've made it. Just that I tend to get taken out by twin diga when I have my back turned. Anyways, I'm loving it. It's not the Winter Carnival bonus missions, but the difficulty is certainly justified by the drops you get.

Just stay mobile, stick with potentially mobile skills and guns that you can strafe with, be patient, and don't hesitate to run away if you need to.

Just think of it as a solo bonus mission.

I've only made it past the Zoonas once with my 107 Cast FiG. You just sort of have to keep track of what the enemies are doing and react extrmely fast or you're dead. That said, my twin handguns help immensely.

Don't forget Star Atomizers. That's an extra 10 Trimates there.

In the last room, you pretty much NEED to have some guns, because you'll have to face off aganst several Carriguine's and Vanda Orga. If you stay on the bridge at the start of the block, you should be fine though. Give or take a random Foie or two.

you mean fighunner? i would but my highest char is this one and i figured FG has pretty low HP.

which class has the highest defense?

[Sano]

I've tried twice so far as 103/13 Beast M Acrotecher and I was able to make it to near the end of B-1 but... darn Dilnazens lol. I plan on trying again soon and I must say: the rewards are quite worth the risks Let alone the challenge makes it very fun! My advice: Use a Type that has tech healing and the ability to strafe with guns; use healing items smartly and try not to waste PP over-healing - Photon Charges are limited lol.

What a silly question. FF, of course.

You can see how much it helped you there, I'm sure...

I would definitely suggest guns for this level too. I went in as a Human Female FM, and I didn't make it past the last 2 Dils. However, Tornado Dance makes things a lot easier.

[red1228]

What I do is;
1. Dus Robado on the lil guys (navel's I believe is their name)
2. Spiral Dance on the Bil De Vear's
3. Tornado Dance on EVERYTHING ELSE

Works for me so far. 'course, I've only done the mission 5 times but I've only died once from (as someone previously mentioned) a random double Foie that those ground Vanda's like to use.
