BEST PUN EVER

[GrooveMan.exe]

Started playing this yesterday. I'm surprised and impressed that monsters that also featured in DQMJ weren't recycled for this. It's also a little different in pacing from what I initially pictured.

Wight Knight is currently kicking my ass; since there's no available weapons or armour that punch holes in his battle pattern, I guess I just need to level up more.

Well, chin up, after you beat him you can recruit party members at the inn.

[GrooveMan.exe]

He would be considerably easier if I could recuit party members *before* him. =I

[FRET]

Yeah. He likes to hit you twice in a row

and generally be a dick. Just go level a bit and buy all the best equips you can. That's all there is to him...

If you know anyone who plays locally, you could hook up with them, and have a Second Party Member (Kind of wish you could use Wi-Fi for this, but chances are the inevitable lag would ruin it)

Well, I'm about to go into a Volcano, and almost ironically, I just bought a Fire Sword for my character (Things get so freaking expensive)...Thinking about Grinding my Party since "I'm" like 10 Levels under the rest of my Recruits (Since I switched to Paladin...) Maybe Grind for more gold as well (those Gold Golems give a little over 500 Gold), and who knows, maybe even grind some other classes for everyone else so I can play catch up

Fuuuccckkk, why is everyone enjoying this game but me? It's like 8 all over again.

I'm pretty sure you can recruit before him. IIRC the king asks you to take him out and that is after Patty and Erinn have settled in the Inn. Just talk to Patty.

[GrooveMan.exe]

Oh.

Well that explains a lot, I shall go and check this right now.

Edit: Oh look, I can! I now feel somewhat stupid.

[Shawn]

are there any other simpsons references aside from patty and sellma working at erinns inn?

this is my post as djanjo is me.

The battle is infinitely easier with 4 members, just make a priest and set him/her to the healing mode in the tactics section and unleash your most powerful skills/regular attacks and heal with items if you get in a bind. It's cake. :-)
