Insane Difficulty: Anima Zero plays Golden Sun: Fallen Star - Insane Difficulty

Colosso, a PSA showing why you're not going to be tackling Lunpa's Fortress at lv20, desert trekking, and another nasty Mercury Djinn are on the video list today!

Time for the Anima Zero "I keep forgetting stuff" power hours!







I guess now it's time for me to grind and whatnot, MAYBE go after some equip drops from enemies, so I can be prepared for Lunpa's Fortress & Crossbone Isle.

Yay for two weapon drops while grinding in Venus Lighthouse!

I then show what's going to be taking up a ton of my grinding time over the next day or two.

I'm gonna need a TON of exp for this, haha.

I just barely caught up to where you are now then i have 7 new videos to watch... thanks a ton AZ for the massive support!

Well now, that didn't take long to do once I had my setup for killing Tempest Lizards tweaked out some more.

Lunpa's Fortress time folks!





Next time...I might feel like trying to go out and grind a drop from the Dread Hounds or Wild Gryphons.

Aside from that?

You know how there's hasn't been that many game overs on my playthrough?

Crossbone Isle is likely to change that D:.

Just some clean up duty in a couple areas here today.

AZ I was wondering did the final Venus Djinni Drop Fallen Venus for you? I haven't noticed if you fought it and it dropped it or not.

I'm pretty sure I never saw it drop. I was assuming the one in Crossbone Isle would drop it, but apparently you don't fight it or something (Still haven't started doing the doors there yet ;D!) so I guess whatever the last Venus Djinni that is fought never dropped it, haha.

Another funny thing I noticed while checking stuff this morning...apparently none of the shops have the Fallen Mercury that I sold off. I swear I saw it state that it was a rare item when I sold it (Implying that it should pop up in one of the shops for me to buy again if I wish) so yeah.

I'm not as affected by the Fallen Mercury since Mia's Torrent does just as good for me, but if I was I supposed to have a Fallen Venus for Isaac, then uh oh D:. I have been struggling with trying to find a decent damaging attack for him these last couple of videos. Is there a way to add the item via a code or something (I'd assume it replaces some kind of item in the game so the code for that particular item would work here...I think xD)? Failing that, maaaaybe just a minor update for me that has it drop from some enemy at a 100% rate (And maybe the Fallen Mercury too because it's rare), haha xD?

With that, a few equipment questions/bugs:

Mirrored Shield: Much like the Glittering Tiara from before, it doesn't give the skill it states. Heck, I'm not sure the item has been changed at all looking at the stats on it in the inventory.

Eidolon Brace: Says it grants Spirit Surge. Wondering what exactly that spell does and if it might be worth it because dang those stat penalties D:.

Prophet's Hat: Description states it "Predicts being downed". Uh...what does that mean exactly? Stats on the hat...uh, I hope it has been changed xD. I'm used to seeing stuff like HP/PP regen or HP/PP maximum boosts so yeah ;P.

I'll make the fallen venus available to buy in the last shop. I believe i should be able to do just that. Also i may have forgotten to flag fallen mercury. I'll get to work on those fixes for you asap.

After much preparation, my suffering in Crossbone Isle begins D:.

Just so everyone knows, I'm only going to show my successful attempt on each door + the room behind every door. I don't want to make people wait forever to see me finally emerge victorious against the bosses of each door.

Rest assured though, I'm gonna compile all of my failures and post up a compilation video of them at the end of this video series (Thinking I might want to include any fails from the final storyline bosses here too when I deal with them, we'll see).

Of course, this was my first attempt on the bosses of the 1st door. Guess I should feel happy that I won this one without too much hassle.

Three more doors get knocked down today!

Still no game overs yet folks. All these videos are 1st attempts.

Dayum AZ way to make these guys look like chumps. I wonder if they really are a challenge to you at all

Time for the magical girl door hour!

lol at Magicla Girl.

I hope you all have some popcorn or food because the rest of Crossbone got done in today's session.

I'll mention this now...no game overs this entire optional dungeon. I did have a character death though in the 6th & 7th door battles though.

No guess as to who died both times.

In any case, tomorrow morning I will record the final storyline battles and get to the conclusion of this wonderful hack.

And so it ends folks. It ends with Ivan showing us just why he's the master of dying ;D.

Awesome as hell hack and can't wait to start on Risen Star!

AZ I am honored that you saw this through to completion. As promised A huge beta release will be out. I look forward to seeing your playthrough of RS.

Vanish Mantle, on 05 August 2012 - 01:42 PM, said:

No problem. This was a damn fun hack to play through and was worth the playthrough (Even if Ivan felt like taking the most dirt naps of anyone on my team, haha).

One last thing...

http://www.youtube.c...14&feature=plcp

A playlist with all the videos I've done for Fallen Star so people can check out a specific video without having to sift through a long list of my other videos to find the one they want to watch. Really something I should have done a long time ago, but I blame laziness for that .

I was doing just that actually. But since you did that already I won't bother lol. Did you remember to go back to vault to find out about the bandits escaping?
