Guide for future people on how to beat DOS-00 aka the robot boss. I dropped the game for like a month because I didn't want to cheat, but in the end it wasn't that hard.
Note I'm playing on easy mode, you might need more quantity of the items I'm going to list on other difficulties.
You need a lot of the
800 HP healing items (I brought about 10 with me and it was enough). You also need a lot of
chargers (I bought like 20 but I don't remember how many I used). You also need some
gain MAX (I only used 3, you might need more).
You buy these items in the house where you sleep in, talk to the blonde girl.
You also need the
lightning core slot equipped. I don't know where I got this from, potentially it was somewhere in the level but don't take my word for it.
If you can get all your ATK upgrades on your M transformation it'd be great.
Read all to avoid surprises.
While in battle, get into the M transformation.
The strategy to beat this guy is to alternate between paralyzing him with shock & attacking his head with river's edge.
Obligatory first steps are to shock him, then use one gain MAX item, shock him again, and then river's edge to the head and then shock and then river's edge to the head and so on.
If you get low on MP, use a charger in the round it is shocked, then shock again and keep spamming river's edge on the head.
Note the boss will eventually
become immune to shock, but in that round or the round after the head will be low enough for you to kill it with river's edge.
After that as long as you're careful you should be fine with the other parts (keep river's edging). I would focus first on the left hand, then right hand (the milking one), then the body.
HUGE NOTE on being careful: Care for your GAIN so you have enough to both escape the very second you're restrained and also to keep attacking, care for your health when you get low enough (on easy mode I considered 700 HP to be danger territory).
The boss has a one-last stand when you get the last part (the body) to 0 HP. Just more river's edge and it should die.
Basically, as long as you buy enough items and keep your guard up, you will eventually defeat it.
Shoutout to the random chinese guide I found that said to focus on the head.
I'm in the first dungeon area in the mine, and i'm lost and can't figure out how to proceed. is there a walkthrough for this?
i've broken the first pillar. I've been stopped at the ice pillar no sweat... I found the cliff with the drill. no sweat. then i went into the room with the orb, blocked by the energy barriers which say "kill the monsters in the area to drop the barriers" so I did that. the barriers did not drop. i circled the dungeon 3-4 times, and killed everything. the barriers did not drop. wasn't able to find a place to collect fire or ice power, or a place to use the drill....
hard progression stop.
help a gamer out? T_T
This might not be of help, I just wanted to mention I got lost the exact same way but I don't remember what I did exactly. I *think* I searched around in this thread and found an answer. That or I mindlessly searched the mine until I found a way to progress.
