Etrian Odyssey 2 HD: Double Muckdile

[@ZKP314]

Araxxor’s casually proving to be the Etrian Odyssey version of Doomguy right about now…or at least a *very* experienced player of the series.

Etrian Odyssey gaming at it's finest

[@CarlosSilva-bh4bi]

Muskoids are other example as well...

​@@CarlosSilva-bh4bi4's statue ambush:

[@CarlosSilva-bh4bi]

@@RFEZR No, leave that behind, only two of those things are enough to kill you on EO1, once you reach the 5th stratum those shits appear in the floor 24, thats the biggest and most Labrynthic on the game and those things were able to lock you on sleep with a big boar ready to kill you or a bull ready to an instakill to your group (Bull Rush while sleeping = ded)

[@Kojirremer]

You mean petaloids? Yeah, groups of those are really dangerous when accompanied by a heavy hitter. EO2 also got some dickish ambushes using petaloids on the Petal Bridge.

[@TitaRussellTrails]

Nevermind Ur-Child this is the real superboss of the game

[@rordongamsay8478]

Welcome to the Pain Train. We only have two speeds. Fast and faster.

[@BlazeEmerald]

you know it's bad when you haven't played in years and still reflexively recoil in terror at seeing them

[@MrDoomGrey]

Holy shit, this was truly outstanding! Surviving a surefire game over and then managing to win is nothing short of miraculous!

[@Omnicrom]

Ah yes. Hell.

[@dryzalizer]

Hey, Survivalist being useful! Rare footage. Muckdile is the best costume for Halloween parties, frolic out on the dance floor and the hands stay up all night!

[@CarlosSilva-bh4bi]

Hey, the Survivalist actually works cool, and I mean, having access to an ultimate weapon at the start without other classes its powerful as hell Plus, they got less nerfed than the Alchemist and Médics at least Caduceus still works but only because the stun and with TP-UP10 to be reliable And for alchemists the elemental skills and Elemental AOE Attacks are completely useless I mean, I did more damage with the Physical damage and Megido than with Maxed Fire Mastery, Flame and Inferno all together Like, how did inferno did less than 400 and Piercing did 450?! Not to say that Megido did *WAYYYY MORE DAMAGE* than Flame *_TO SCYLIA_* And the TP Costs are ridiculous too, not to say the War Magus needs a Hexer to be useful for good and his buffs are cool, but yet, having Salve with 4 levels of difference hurt a lot

[@DrAraxxor]

​@@CarlosSilva-bh4bi Said ultimate weapon requires more grinding the earlier in the game you are, to the point where you either waste a lot of time gathering, or farm so many boss conditionals you get overleveled and trivialize the rest of the game that way anyways. The game is perfectly beatable without having to do such things. Scylla's weakness is volt, not fire in this game. You can annihilate Scylla in a few turns with an Alchemist, I've done it before. Alchemist is not useless in this game, stop spamming high leveled AOEs in random encounters and they won't run dry on TP that often. I don't blame people for not liking Alchemist, but saying they are useless is outright false when they trivialize so many big fights. Their damage is ridiculous on several things before the post-game. Their damage does crap out during post-game, though proper support (Troubadour elemental songs) can make them a bit more usable there.

[@benjamincecilio5063]

In the remakes, you might even encounter 2 of them being shiny!

[@CarlosSilva-bh4bi]

I bet they were on snu-snu and decided to duck ya up too

[@firestar4407]

The "You inhale sharply at what you find!" line gives me the chills.

[@revaryk6868]

TWO OF THEM

[@beatziegraham6928]

I feel like, for this battle only, the Untold version of the battle theme would play. Just for something special.

[@eizneckam4936]

That thumbnail gave me PTSD.

[@vjbd2757]

Muckdile 1 and 2 blindsiding you: "Fight back ni**a!"

[@windiez2161]

Cut damage is reduced by 90%, and it was around 250. I think armorless damage will be around 2500.

[@TheAzulmagia]

Still a better designed encounter than Ur-Devil.

[@Faceless_time_traveler]

And an ambush for good measure. Those people at Atlus definitely get off on the gamers' tears and despair

[@hydrosphagus9672]

Not sure how it is in Fafnir Knight, but in the DS Heroes of Lagaard, monsters you encounter in harvest points will ALWAYS blindside you, disregarding absolutely any and ALL skills you have put up to avoid being blindsided. This is unlucky not in a sense of being blindsided, this is unlucky in a sense of running into the HARDEST enemies in the game.

[@triplespearmint]

No NO

[@MitchellEmerson]

Black Hole CO's names. 👌

[@pinkstarmona1695]

So in terms of difficulty throughout the series where would you rate this on a list of hardest fights in EO?

[@DrAraxxor]

Probably around the higher middle end of things. As hard as this was, it's not really close to some of the harder things I've had to do in this franchise.

[@lolzant397]

Ok since it's a gathering ambush Your full gathering team should be able to handle it right? ... Jk jk ... Unless...?

[@starfallunion]

Always love this game, and that dark hunter❤

[@mikumikuiyada]

wow.... thats a hard fight. i didnt know this since my main team is 1 paladin, 3 1 hp hexer and 1 dark hunter and i just deal 2k to anything with revenge. with a single turn damage of 6.6k, i can kill UR-child in four turns (only need paladin and DH force move)

[@aheadsounds2522]

why does this gather spot just summon enemies that completely one shot a less tanky party immidetly. Gather does not make sense in this game

[@heeho8929]

it's the last floor in the game. it's just a way to kill players who farm gathers carelessly and almost certainly isn't meant to be survivable

[@aheadsounds2522]

​@@heeho8929You have to specifically look out for this encounter unless you spent sp on gather skills on your main party and come across one of the gather points.(which you wont do) cuz floor 30 has forced encounters and other spots are better. I doubt even tanky parties will survive this. very mean if you come across with bad luck

[@kemix1006]

First. WHY? Second. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

[@borip765]

how is your font normal?

[@Randomness-hz7kj]

They're playing on PC, there's a mod to change the font.

[@DrAraxxor]
