I tried that approach, he still used meltdown. I hit him with all eight elements, then hit it with a non-elemental and some physicals. It worked for one round, then he used purge, I repeated the cycle, and he used ultima and meltdown instead. I'm stumped

I've fought Kaiser a number of times on previous playthroughs and this is the very first time I'm actually having trouble with the guy.

At some point in the fight, I get the message "Kaiser's power levels are going critical. Use the elements to contain it." Shortly after, it uses meltdown and kills my whole party. The problem is, I am using elements. Whenever that message pops up I throw elemental attacks at him like crazy (bolt, fire, aurabolt, bio blaster, pretty much anything) and it melts down anyway.

What am I doing wrong? On my previous playthrough of the same version I never even got that message, I just killed it. And really fast at that.

Found it, thank you very much

I'm trying to get the Mantodea rage but I have no idea where to find it. I think it was in the Veldt cave, but I've fought over 50 battles there and haven't found a single Mantodea. Where can I reliably find it?

Same here, had a hell of a hard time with Myria but beat Kefka and the rest of the Triad in my second try.

My strategy for Kefka was simply having the bois equip multiguards and have Celes spam runic to absorb all the Meteors he cast, casting Rerise with Setzer whenever runic wasn't up, having Strago cast Black Omen or Holy Wind and throwing tinctures and X-Potions whenever needed.

I guess what really screwed me over with Myria was the fact that I fought her with the party that had Shadow and Cyan in it, S.Cross and Aero dealt tons of damage to them and the inherent Haste barely gave me time to heal. I think simply removing that inherent Haste should make her a lot more manageable

Holy mother of the bicycle, I'VE GOT TO PLAY THIS MOD.

This looks awesome, thank you very much.

Hey guys. I found an odd (but very unimportant) bug concerning EL resets. If you go to ultros for your second reset without the required GP, but try to reset your ELs anyway, the reset will fail (which is expected) but you lose a lot of GP and get a message saying you got the Alexandr magicite.

A few things to add:

• It seems this bug can't happen on your first reset, because it consumes roughly 60000 gp and won't work if you try with less than that.
• Despite the message, you don't actually get the Alexandr magicite.
• I have tested resetting with the required GP amount and it works just fine, so this bug isn't really anything of concern, even if a bit weird

Just stopping by to congratulate you guys on such an amazing mod, and to thank you for the great experience. Seriously, BNW is a work of art.

I have played version 1.9 (I think it was 1.9) a little after it came out and found it incredible, and 2.0 is even better. I've finished it yesterday, and it feels more well balanced than 1.9 (or maybe I managed to git gud between them, but I don't think so), and the difficulty was just spot on for the vast majority of the game. The only bosses that came close to feeling unfair (although it might have been just poor strategy on my part) were Master T and Myria, and even those I managed to beat after changing strats a couple times.

Seriously, this mod is great. I already feel like running a replay. Thank you so very much!

My Shadow usually has 94 or 104% evade, and yet when I give him Knight Cape or Hero Ring he seems to get hit a lot more often when guarding the other characters.

Is the evade calculation different in that situation, am I very unlucky, or is it a bug?
