this may be a dumb question but how do I defeat the first succubus in the forest? I know I have to absorb her magical attacks and use the flame spell, but I can't because my fire stone isn't strong enough and I crafted all three of them. the spell just goes right through and I have to use up my dodges which should save me from quick time events to get a measly 5 points of magic at a time. I keep dying, obviously.
It has been some time but let me see if I can help from memory. There are three different types of magic:
- Weak magic can be absorbed by any crystal as long as you have the right element
Cue: "[Element] Gathers in their hand"
- Strong magic can only be absorbed by powered up by a specific magic stone
Cue: "A mass of [Element] Mana"
- Area affecting magic can only be absorbed by a specific magic stone
Cue: (usually something about the area around you I forget the specifics)
Each of those has a different dialogue cue and you probably can only absorb weak magic at the time of the first fight. Make sure you are using the right element of magic stone (
Note: I am pretty sure the ones that give you attacking magic can't absorb very well) and double check that the type you are using can actually absorb magic.
You can only damage the boss with physical attacks the turn after absorbing an attack so wait for the one cue that you can absorb, counterattack, and then spend the rest of your time chugging potions and dodging (or not dodging, if its your preference I suppose) H attacks. I would
advise against using any offensive spells, as they are generally not as good as physical attacks and will ruin your defensive cooldown rotation.
Also, obviously, make sure you have the best gear you can get from the shop though you shouldn't need it for the first fight.
