Power tool, reading can be.

(Don't worry, it can happen to anyone)

Hi, i'm really enjoiyng playing at this mod it's really challenging.
But i found a bug during the fight with diablos. First seifer is showing up (i assume that you add it on your last version), and his gunblade doesn't appear, then when his HP are low enough his launching his limit break but then the game crash "an unexpected error occured". And even if i kill him before he launches his limit break i didn't receive the diablos GF and after the fight if i try to go in the menu the fight launch again, i was unable to get into the menu after the fight. For peole who'd be interest i found a way of getting diablos by fighting him without the mod install, then save my game, and then resume my game with the mod install then diablos has the abilities his suppose to have in the mod (enc-half and no combat remove, spd+10% add).
Thanks for any reply, and i like to know if this happened to anyone else. By the way this is a really nice site.

I came here to talk about this exact same thing. I'm right after Tomb of the Unknown King, just got the Brothers, and decided to tackle Seifer again. But Demon Slice always freezes the game and it really sucks. Out of curiosity, where are you in the game and how did you kill him so fast? Where I'm at, he's a real tough fight because he's so fast.

Which version of the game are you playing?

Hey Landon,

I've got the same Diablos issue as the previous guys. Using the lamp starts a fight against Seifer and if you manage to kill him, trying to the enter the menu starts the fight over.

Playing the v2.1.9 PC version you posted.

Playing the latest version you posted, the PC version with a Mediafire link. v2.1.9

I've found the problem. The fix should be up tomorrow.

HI, i use a a save editor called hyne to kill him so fast, i was trying different things before posting the message to see if the bug was coming from my game because i'm playing requiem on the steam version and i'm using a ton of other mod than requiem and i try the diablos fight with a non modded version of the game (only the requiem mod) but the bug persist. Right now i'm on cd2 after just before the norg fight, i retrive diablos by the method i explain in my previous post. Thanks for the reply and for the fix, keep up the good work London it's really a nice mod. Besides have you thought about the use of the pocketstation with this version of the mod London, because it can give you a item that add the Card abilitie i thought that i can use that one to retrieve the card mod abilitie on quetzalcoatl on cd2 with this one, i can't access the chocobo world yet on my save but when i will have finish Horizon i will try that.

I followed your method to get Diablos but I'm stuck on NORG. The fight is pure luck as far as I can tell. He can choose to use Meteor three times in a row or he can follow up 2 Meteors with Death, as he just did now when he was near dead.

I have Tornado's I got from refining Windmill drops from the Thrustaevis way back before heading to Galbadia Garden and they wreck NORG an dall otehr bosses but it's just ridiculous. Even at 7000-8000 damage a turn I can't finish him off because of the aforementioned randomness. I can't protect against Death, I can't get any more items, I can't really grind... I'm just stuck, praying I can win before he decides to be a bitch and attack a bunch while I'm helpless.

The added annoyance of the orbs doesn't help. I'd normally just have someone on standby but I have to have someone attacking the orbs.

I'm gonna go try again. If it wasn't for Death, I'd stomp this because you have so much time to prepare but alas, Death happens all the damn timed and then my plans all go up in smoke.

EDIT:

Wouldn't you know it, I beat him in my first try after this post. He never used Death which helped a lot. Also I just have to be a bit more careful about aligning my ATB gauges so I have evryone's turn lined up.

New version up here...

I beat Norg on my first try but i thought he was strong, his death spell can be a pain in the ass, he uses 5 or 6 times during my fight but the spell only succeeded two times, you can protect a little again death by junctionning esuna and life on status defense it's not 100% (25% i think don't remember) but it can help. I used the tornado spell too, and the GF can be rather strong if you learned the summon abilities (5000 damages with quetzalcoalt), it feel really nice to rely on the GF again, because with the non modded game i didn't used them at all. You can also get 100 pain spells for your 3 character by refining curse spikes, which one you can mug from tri face on the md-level right before the oilboyles fight but it can be rather difficult because he can kill you very easily but i did it so it's not impossible, i used defend + cover, mug him than ran away (he's lvl 73 i think).
Thanks again for the fast reply and fix London i will definitely try this Seifer fight with an old save.
