That may be a very good way to farm normal coins, but when you're in postgame, you'll most likely want galaxy and/or frog coins which have faster ways to be farmed.

Hope I don't sound like a jerk btw, not my intent by any means.

By no means! Though, what way did you find for farming coins? iirc Red gives 100 g-coins or something to that effect?

I like farming Loudre off of Larxene. Iirc they sell for 7500 a pop (as a plus, she's right by Seaside Town where you can buy Gold Bars), plus she drops one of the endgame reusable items? I don't remember if it's Hyper M. Guard or Final Elixir or or the third one. Maybe I'm misremembering, it was so long ago. ^ w ^;

There will not be a hard mode for v9.0.  The changes that have been made based on feedback from content and normal mode warrant calling the new hard mode v9.1 to avoid confusion.

It's been a while since I read it, but if iirc, this hard mode/v9.1 is going to be the last installment/upgrade of Armageddon, right?

Maybe this very final mode could be given a special name with a DON, and be "SMRPG: Armaged-DON Mode" or something to that effect, ;p

To be fair, I figured out most of the same things on my own. The only things I gleaned from your Rosy fight were pumping str instead of int, and being reminded that I totally forgot about the Magus/Schala fight before I went after Rosalina... > x >; (And subsequently not knowing about the Angel Tiara for 90% of post-game...)

Mario: Ultima Hammer, Shirt of Light, Choice Scarf

Peach: Shadow Ring, Dress of Light, Angel Tiara

Mallow: Iron Duke, Paladin, Speed Bracer

Put Paladin on Mallow. Angel Tiara negates status for Peach already. Soul Dew on Mallow/Mari is fine all the way up to Rosalina. Only time I put haste on Mario before her was for the Doom Cake to two-turn it.

Lucifer? Shadow Ball? I’m sorry I don’t follow

EDIT: Beat it anyways. Celebi ended up not showing for Nimbus either. Thunderstorm and double Morning Star wasn’t enough, and only Mario was left standing after Booster’s turn. Used Galaxy Star then, and Ultima Hammer took out a Snifit. Mallow was the only one who died the next turn, and Morning Star dealt with the rest of the Snifits, then I nat-blocked everything Booster sent, and he died next turn.

EDIT2: So I tried to take a screenshot of me beating Axem Red/Blade with only 87 HP left on Peach and all else dead, and instead I reset my game.

Oof, that sucks.

Morning Star is what Lucifer means, and its easier to type out. Shadow ball is what Peach attacks with when she has the Shadow Ring. It's not named in the game for us, but the attack the bosses have is called that in the editor I think?

What is your setup for those fights?

Nicely done!

For an added challenge, try doing it without haste.

Hah! Noooo thanks. Remember what I said about the frog in the well? I'm happy with this. I know my limits. I'll try Hard Mode when it comes out, but no matter how far I make it, I'm pretty content with myself.

You won't believe it! I don't believe it! But I woooon!

In your face, Space Coyote!

/collapse

Is that it? Can I go to the farm and watch the sunrise on a grateful marioverse?

I get a few misses and bad crits from Rosy, so I had to use the Dark Matters, but they're essentially backup anyway. Also, sorry for the loud music for the first 50 seconds of the fight. Too much adrenaline, didn't notice was so loud. o . x

So here's a 100% surefire way to deal with Rosetta Stone.

Turn 0: Go in with a F.Illusion at full

Turn 1: Hyper Guard, thunderstorm, full hammer holy luma, intentionally mistime hammer elec luma

Turn 2: Celebi, thunderstorm, thunderstorm, hammer holy (dead) hammer elec or pass, lucifer, shadow ball

Turn 3: ATTACK

Turn 4: Cola or Final Elixir with Mallow (if Mario is disabled), attack with everyone else

Phase 2 starts and you're at full hp to take the blow.

Turn 5: H.Guard and F.Illusion, double spank with Mari, cola and shadow ball with Peach

Stars come back, start over from turn 1, except use elixir or cola instead of h.guard. Do this 3 more times and you win. I came in with three Found Illusions in my inventory and one active and she died a turn or two after I ran out. So to be safe, have 4 when you enter the fight.

I’m saying that it’s available during the Dodo/Valentina/Birdo battle (battle right before), and after not using it, it’s gone during Booster. Same does not apply to Galaxy Star. Don’t know why.

Literally the same problem I had with Shadow Queen.

Huh, that's... queer... Well, as long as you have one going into the Booster fight and are near/full hp/fp off the nimbus gang, you should be fine on Booster.

Use Celebi at the end of the nimbus fight to be full and Star in the Booster fight on turn 2. Turn 1 thunderstorm, lucifer, lucifer and that should kill all the snifits. Then if Booster wrecks your two members (he really can't clear the field by himself) you use the G.Star then, and then clean him up.

NNNNNNSHOOOOOOOOUUUURIIIII

THE SMOOTH MCGROOVE SETUP FTFW

I would request that if anything be changed about this fight other than crits (which I would love gone, but I don't see it happening) is making you unable to target Rosalina if she has any Luma. So annoying to accidentally target her in the heat of battle. ：／

Think I found my smooth mcgroove.

Turn 1- Hyper guard and thunderstorm, attack holy luma and elec luma once with Mario, double lucifer with Peach.

Turn 2- Celebi, double storm, attack holy and elec again, lucifer, then attack Rosetta.

This gets to phase 2 and all the stars come back. Now this time I have to not eff up.

Rockin' this song to fight: 

So upon my first try fighting her with the right damage setup, I don't know what the hell I did, but I got into an amazing groove, then I mess up and attack the wrong star and the cycle is off and the fight is a failure. Now an hour later, I can't remember what the hell I did so perfectly the first two turns...

I came into the fight with a full illusion on, since Exor doesn't get to attack, so I have an extra move on the first turn because I don't have to set that up. And then whatever I did that first time I used Celebi on turn 2 to get FP back as well as auto-res. And then it went sooo buttery. But now I can't even reliably get a good entry into phase 2. Blargh, ーｘ－

At least you can make it to Rosalina

I can’t make it past Booster b/c I’m avoiding spending items and Celebi disappears during the fight

Celebi and Galaxy Star both come back after "real" checkpoints.

After the Magikoopa fight -

After the Booster fight -

After the Yaridovich fight -

After the General Guy fight (not 100% sure so leave one item for Exor just in case) -

After Exor (definitely) -

So you can use them as much as you want, and they'll be there for Rosetta. Well, not the star, of course, ;p

B'okay. Think I can do this now. Just sucks to have to run through Boss Butch a third time. Thanks for the pioneering~

So I caved and watched the video of fighting her. Awesomely enough seems to be close to what I was doing, just not enough atk on my end.

Is her Meteor Swarm physical damage?

Really. Crits and a Black Hole/spell combo? Yeesh.

And thank you all for the fantastic game.

Grats!

Well gl then.
