RPGM Completed Star Knightess Aura [v1.2.1] [aura-dev]

[BoomerangApple]

Is there anything special to do in the volcano? I mean, other than burning your shoes and wasting a bunch of health items?
There's some loot to be had for now but...

14k gold and 1 star metal from the final boss(very hard), phoenix feather(its alright, it just boosts fire spells), 3 pyroplating(nice), tons of harvestable pyromantium, 1 drug formula(bloodshot+ I think), 1 blessed water...

Only one type of enemy gives gold and it's deeper in the volcano.

Generally this will be the last dungeon you complete, it was in my runs at least.

I would describe Mount Firestorm as late midgame or early lategame. Obviously Richard's domain is the real final dungeon, but aside from that the last would either be Clockwork Forest or the Pride domain. The Crystal Caverns also maybe qualifies, although it's comparatively easier. I'd also say the Maid Academy Catacombs are more difficult than Mount Firestorm.

The best thing about phoenix feather is the permanent fire resistance it gives you or the slime.

is that actually useful in of itself? I just use it to counter the weakness you get from Ethereal Hide, to remove thunder weakness on Aura

the last boss of mount firestorm is the hardest non general boss and is less accessible than Brightmane is. Clockwork is much easier, you can cheese the artificer by just reading the securiy book in 1 day. Plus the reward from that quest is more important to rush

If you are going to get through the last volcano region past the phoenix you ideally do it in one go, so you need to he well prepared. Where as you can grind through all other regions day by day

You gain access to Mount Firestorm around the middle of the game, and all you really need to do to take it on is bless some healing items and buy a Liquefy Weapon Coating. That takes a lot less time than hitting Expert Adventurer to unlock Clockwork Forest.

I do Clockwork Forest (and Judgment of Pride) in one day anyway, because I also want my Liquefy Weapon Coating for most of the enemies in both of those. Maid Academy Catacombs is the one I'd describe as more grinding, because killing those enemies can be HP and/or MP intensive.

Waiting until you can take out Dragon Firestorm properly is a choice you can make, I guess. Or you can just SK him.
