Surprise Steals

5 posts in this topic

BNW 2.0 - I've gotten some surprising steals using 2x switchblades & Daryl's Soul with Setzer in WoR. The items aren't listed in the "Print Me" so not sure they were intentional.

Multiguard - shield that absorbs fire/ice/lit. Stolen from one of the dancers in Jidoor during the trip to get Relm. Not the ones that tonic each time you hit them. Got it during encounter during the floating chest room, but can't get another encounter to spawn for another check. Sorry I didn't notice the enemy name.

Update: also available from "Madam" on the phantom train in Cyan's dream sequence in Doma Castle. Easy to farm, just run up and down by the restore save in one of the 1st cars.

Economizer - MP cost =1. Stolen from either a troll or a tyrano in the forest above the Veldt. Trying to get another encounter only gets me 2x tyranos which neither have anything. Big surprise since non-human enemies. It can't be used by anyone :( , at least not anyone in my party atm. I still haven't picked up Gogo, Mog, Umaro, Locke, or Cyan. Update: from "Troll" enemy and only equippable by Umro....haha....

Black Heart - gotten them from THE Dragons (White & Dirt), but died so didn't check what they actually were. Update: HP +50%. I've also gotten the Mystery Eggs from other dragons now as well.

I've also noticed that the Blackbelt relic let switchblades hit & steal in the Kefta Kult tower. So far only tinctures, but I haven't finished the tower yet. Update: finished tower, nothing big to report.

Anyone else gotten anything that seems OP from odd enemies?

Man!  I didn't think about stealing anything when I was going to get Realm... that shield would be really handy right about now.  
I didn't think you could get anything but Gum Pods...  well, time to go test myself!

Most humanoids have both a common and a rare steal (Fanatics Tower is one exception, pretty sure it's all Tinctures there), and some things that might not seem humanoid at first actually count (some undead, the things riding the flying green toads or whatever the heck in the Ancient Castle/Cyan's dream, etc.)

I'll also note that none of the steals are things you need to worry too hard about — there's no legendary tier loot waiting to be pilfered in BNW. The Multiguard is probably the most useful, but there's also a situationally handy stealable for every other equipment slot if you "treasure hunt" hard enough.

Also, there's nothing stealable that can't be repeated indefinitely somewhere. The ladies you stole that Multiguard from have a palette swap in Kefka's Tower from whom you can steal more.

Finally, after you beat the game, you'll get the password for the Unlockme, which will list all the available steals and what you can steal them from. So if you don't have the patience or curiosity enough to find everything blind, you can try it out then instead.

That's funny - I'm currently in Ancient's Castle right now and was musing at the weirdness of them, right before they X-zoned my party @_@... (from that point on, Celes was on Runic duty on those encounters).

 

I will try to steal when I can on a little more open minded on what "humanoid" entails.  It is wonderful that it doesn't take your action if successful!
