Now things are getting interesting.��

IGN eyes on trailer and screens

A lone warrior chopping through an army of robotic warriors with an outsized Cloud Strife-like energy sword. Colossal war machines advancing though a misty canyon, shooting anything that moves. The few remaining human defenders hiding behind simple wooden shields that are no match for high-energy weapons. Welcome to the world of Monado.��


The debut trailer for Monado: Beginning of the World premiered today at E3: 2009, and first impressions for the new Wii RPG are that the beginning is going to be pretty exciting. Things kick off with that canyon-set battle, revealing more and bigger enemies with an interesting steampunk design. Things likely don't end well for our lone warrior, as we soon segue to a young blonde hero discovering that energy sword - now inert - only to see it flash blindingly to life the moment he picks it up. Your standard JRPG Hero's Journey (tm) is definitely in full effect here, with just a dash of King Arthur.��


Gameplay appears to be open-world, where you'll traverse lush jungles, glowing forests, climb sheer walls, and encounter the crumbling remains of a conquered people. It looks nicely textured and details pop, animating at what looks like a smooth 30 fps.��


Players will pick up two partners in their travels, and while combat initially looks turn-based, we saw all three party members attacking simultaneously. Transitions into combat are completely seamless; characters approach enemies, draw weapons, and it's on. One scene showed your team (wielding much smaller edged weaponry) surrounding a lizard-man enemy, who didn't make much of a dent in their lifebars before it was downed. A much larger lizard-man (a good twenty feet tall) and giant mutant crab monster probably fared better.

Well you should be able to easily beat that fight by level 77. And to finish off the game I was level 79 but it was TOUGH. So you wanna be at least around level 80 to finish the game.

Just use that area right outside the fight you're at now to level up some.

the fuck? This boss?! I took ages levelling up to 76 and I can't level up any of my arts more without advanced manuals. I'm creaming telethias left right and center. So I finally head back into the Lorathia battle and I barely take a half centimeter from her life bar. Meanwhile my team are standing in acid, this bitch is sending everyone to sleep and all that leveling up was worthless. Does this bitch have regenerating health?

Hey now, the fact you can't do it doesn't give you the right to call me a liar, nor to type in all caps.  angry

I've been reading Iga and Vaders tips for Lorathia. I don't have aura blast or regen. I'm trying to wrap my head around dealing with the menus after so long.

Iga: Use wind first, then lighting, then summon copy. Then discharge everything. This will do a ton of damage. Also make level 6 electricity gems to increase the damage of the lighting attacks. Also use level 6 agility, ether defense and physical defense gems.

I've loaded Dunban up with Agility gems, swapped out equipment for Melia - need to assign her gems next.

Vader: With Melia you have to cast spells by selecting them, that creates a buff of some kind (you want regen on all the time). You can have 3 active at a time, then hit the middle button to use the spell on the enemy. If you have three active you can use the middle button 3 times to send each spell at them. Then cast three new ones. Keep casting regen. Have riki too cause he heals far better than melia does and is a tank. Keep them on Lorinthia, ignore everything else constantly tell them to attack her.

I didn't realize you had to hit the middle button to enact the spells doh! I don't have Regen? Is the name right?

Vader:  I give riki the healing art, some of the physical ones like backattack and the one that makes them bleed. For that boss have more spells, he has flame, ice, poison. Shulk just let him be, the key is to warn him when a vision happens so you can use the correct blade power. If you see a vision of a red attack, use speed spell on the character targeted. If you see a white attack coming cast shield (and hope you leveled it enough).

Keep telling your teamates to attack only the boss, ignore everything else.

So Aura Blast is just the middle button?

I hear from IGN that Level 75 Disciple Lorithia. Disciple Lorithia has very high physical defense from all sides. So that's why my attacks were barely hurting her.

So both you guys say to use Riki? No Dunban for this boss?
