I remembered that I'd gotten the diagram for the Fire Powered Generator from Petra, so that plus some Conductive Flooring got my Comprehensive Grinder and Cutter running. I should make more of both of those *writes note*. Currently my character is standing in Peach Plaza so she won't miss the Fireside Meeting....again.

It's nice to see the devs put some workarounds in! In the long run that's probably a far BETTER solution too.

I've been farming balloon urchins while saving up money/waiting for more plot shenanigans...and holy cow they still scare the « Puppy Doodoo » out of me. It's so easy to get K.O.'d if a second one spawns while you're fighting the first...but at least it's a good use of my time.

i have now found where condensed power stones come from outside of the weekend evaluations. they are in the farmable dungeon that is the next level up after the sewage plant, got it as the clear reward from level 2. super far into the story, so probably not something you can really farm outside of evaluations early on

I need Tempering Liquid so I decided to go thru level 2 of the Hazardous Ruins. I got 9 of them, so it was worth it. But, OMG! THE LAG! It was pretty bad, but playable...barely. Not looking forward to going thru it several more times to get more Tempering Liquid. I hope the devs address that issue soon.

So I had something weird occur. I found a commerce guild commission for 6 fiber cloth, which I know I had because I just put it in my storage boxes that morning. So I ran home and grabbed 6 of the 8 fiber cloth from my storage, used the shiver to make more, and then discovered that the 6 fiber cloth were gone from my bag inventory. There were 2 still left in storage though. I had to remake the fiber cloth to complete the commerce guild commission It was rather bizarre.

That IS weird, Cher. Then again, this game has so many minor bugs all over the place that I can't say I'm surprised, either, unfortunately.

I think I might have figured out how to not have Arlo bug out when you have play or a date with him. I prefer to choose the 10 - 12 slot because then I'll be free the rest of the day and not have to worry about rushing to get somewhere later, but I THINK Arlo keeps getting bugged because the play/date programming must be interfering with his morning routine programming, i.e. running around town doing laps with Paulie and the rest of the Civil Corps. I can't be positive of this, but any other time I've chosen the latest time to date/play with him, there's been no problems.

I will test this theory out more to be certain by picking dates at the other times I haven't tried yet, but I can ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY say that picking the earliest time with Arlo for play/date has resulted in him not coming to the meeting spot AT ALL and being unable to find him whatsoever Every. Single. Time. You can keep reloading until by some miracle the game works itself out and he finally shows up, but reloading is a pain because the load time is just way too long whenever you're starting the software up for the first time, or using the load option from within the game.

(I think it's kind of adorable and weird that a lot of the time, Arlo is sound asleep in bed by 19:30 most days )

I don't think Gust ever sleeps. He comes home at midnight, and immediately goes back out again. He tends to do the same thing at 2AM. I do always find him walking toward the door when my character wakes up in the morning...SOMEtimes I can catch him before he's gone...but yeah, I never get to see him sleep. Not once, ever. I'm kind of wondering if that's a glitch, too, that maybe he still keeps going back to Gale's house to sleep, or something.

What a weird glitch, Cher. It wouldn't surprise me if the game didn't communicate right between box and bag and left the cloth in limbo land between the two. The only saving grace is it was something fairly easy to make again...

At the very least the vast majority of glitches I've seen have been visual and work themselves out pretty quickly. (Carol has been stuck in the wall behind her shop during business hours for more than a season though. )

I think a lot of this will go away with the May update. Hope so, anyway.

I just spent an entire round of the snowball fight pelting only Nora in the face. That's what happens when you keep looking at Arlo longingly whenever he walks by

I just got this game and I LOVE IT! I got the PC version - originally was going to get the Switch port but it doesn't have everything set up yet.

I'm toward the end of my first month and just got Phyllis' mission for venom. I opened up the Hazardous Ruins but I'm a puny level 13. My question is will I die if I go into the Hazardous Ruins? (I only got it open by full on running away from Sam during a spar session )

Yeah, you'll almost definitely die. If you get past all the other stuff, the boss at the end will stomp you. Most of us were much higher level when we finally beat him...level 20 and up, mostly. And equipped with the best gear we could get, too. If you already have the first house expansion and the best gear, you might have high enough stats to beat him.

I'd say it's at least possible, but imo your best bet would be to grind up to level 15 and upgrade your equipment first. Levels are really only suggestions in this game, but better armor is important. (It'll also depend on how much stuff you've crammed into your house to upgrade attack/defense.) Since PC load times are so much better, it might be best to go in the morning and just test your luck.

Venom isn't found in the main area of the hazardous ruin though, but if you can make it back to the Sewage Plant (where the deedee stop marker is) at your current level I think you'll be fine. (I'd also say it's worth a try if you can get to it, since you're on PC and that quest is timed.)

I don't remember which armour I was wearing at the time...I think it was the Meidi armor (it's brown), since the blue stuff I was wearing before that just didn't cut it, but you can wear the Meidi gear at level 5, so no worries there. But every time you level up, you get more HP and more stamina, attack and defence, so it increases your stats and allows you to take more hits before you'll die. 7 levels worth of HP and all is quite a bit to do without when facing that boss, imo. (Stamina maxes out at level 21.) I think it would also be at least 14 less points of attack power and at least 7 fewer points of damage. Possibly more, since I'm going by how much they increase at level 1.

Don't forget that you can use buffing foods to increase your crit, your attack, and your defence, as well as to heal, and if you're going to try beating him at a lower level, take lots of food along. If you're great with timing and dodging, then you could beat him at a much lower level than average, because if his attacks hardly ever hit you, obviously you're not going to be killed very easily. If that's the case, then good for you, and go for it whenever you feel like it (Though the less damage you do per hit, the longer it'll take to kill him. That's why increasing your critical rate is really helpful.)

I beat the Amber Island boss easily with a lesser armor and no healing items, but the Sewage Plant boss, who they seem to intend to let you take on at a similar level, was WAY harder. Oh, and keep in mind, if you just want to loot the place, you can leave the Sewage Plant on any level, without facing the boss. I think you can even leave on the boss floor itself, without fighting him first, though I can't remember for sure. (Though admittedly the BEST loot is gotten from the boss and in the crates surrounding the boss fight area.)

I was level 20 for the first area of the Sewage Plant. Honestly, if you have the best gear and accessories/food that boost your critical strike chances, it's a piece of cake (I barely had any when I beat him). Plus bring food to heal stamina and HP, especially if you're lower level. 15 might be a little tough, but I didn't have the Meidi gear, I had a bronze sword and I hadn't sunk any points into boosting my attack or defense on my skill tree.

The very first time I met him, he creamed me, but that's because I didn't pay attention to his attack pattern at all. The second time was a cake walk. Run in, slash 4 times, roll away when he swings his weapon, stay just out of reach when he slams the ground, dash back in and attack. When he's at 50% he fires his weapon, which knocks you pretty far back if you get hit. Run back in close IMMEDIATELY because then he starts spraying. If you're super close, like between his legs, he won't be able to spray you and you can keep attacking. Rinse repeat.

I've noticed all the bosses I've encountered so far have a very predictable attack pattern that changes a little when they are down by 50%. And if you pin them against the wall, they can't do anything as long as you're relentless in your attacks. I've found this to be the case for all of the bosses so far. Dodge rolling is definitely the key to victory in this game.

Oh, I forgot. I believe you get 3 tries to beat the boss. Iirc, when you lose, it puts you back at the starting area of the final level, and you can stay there as long as you want, since time does not pass inside the sewage plant beyond the time it takes away when you first enter...and you have to approach the boss before he'll start attacking. Also...I think you can leave from there. So if you try to beat him, lose horribly and decide you don't have enough items or good enough gear, you could just leave after trying once.

That's how I seem to remember it, anyway. I think you could even run away if you realized you were outclassed before finishing your first attempt and just leave. So nothing lost from trying! If you're good at the dodge-rolling, level is of little consequence, and you'll have to try once or twice before you'll know if you're naturally good at it or not
