How far along are you anyways GG?

I am now fighting high level monster to collect level V crystals and to level up. I also raised all the affinity between my team mates to max except for Dunban <=> Riki's relationship, which I will do shortly. I am crafting high level gems to help me defeat the level 105, 110, 114 and 120 uniques (remember level cap is 99). After that I will rape the final boss and probably start game+ and do all the sidequest I missed, because the choices I made.

The next cut-of point is when you fight the bastard. You know who at Agniratha. I suggest you finish all the sidequests in Alcamoth, M Field, M Factory and Agniratha before proceeding.

So when exactly do I have to finish these quests by? I'm at C.Factory, then it's Agniratha? and it's the end of agnithara where the cut off is?

It is a bit further, but it is better if you do it before the end of Agniratha. And Agniratha is after the factory level.

Cool, thanks for all this.

Colony 6 is what's worrying me at the moment, so many items they need for further upgrades.

You cannot miss any of those items. You should worry about M field, M factory, Agniratha and Alcamoth. Those are the areas that will be locked out.

I can't seem to see many, if any side quests in M. field.

Is it like Alcamoth's quests which are listed under alcamoth but happen all over the place in different areas, like get monkey fruit from Makna forest?

Are there quests listed elsewhere which say get (X) from M.Field?

There are some from Hidden Village that require you to find stuff there. There is a Machina Refuge that gives you sidequests. Plus there are unique monsters there

While I'm here, where the hell is Shimmering Forte? Hot day at Eks watering hole? Cannot find the bastard. What is it? A flying beast? A fish? what?

BTW these enemies in the factory are annoying I do fine, then when I topple them they do massive amounts of spike defence hits. What colour are spike resist gems?

You have a hot day when you see a heat haze. Just keep moving the clock until you find it. Shimmering Forte looks like the small T-rex with the fire on its back. He is not at the watering hole, but near it. When you have the hot day, save and keep looking for him. If the day is over, reload your save file.

The Machina refuge is the part in M. field where you enter the outside. You see a big slope with platforms on it. Some have the blue flames (items) on it. One of those platforms leads you to the refuge.

I think I saw that platform but I couldn't reach it. I tried jumping onto it but the fall damage killed me.

I finally completed the game in 210 hours. All the five optional uber monsters are dead. The last one was a 120 level dragon, but with some good preperations and tactics it was not that hard. After I defeated the monster I again finished the game. The last boss was so easy. I beat him before when I was level 80, but now at level 99 with level VI gems, max affinity between characters and good armour, he was easy. Beat it in 60 seconds.

After you finish the game, a new game+ opens. You are allowed to take 30 weapons, 30 pieces of armour for leg, head, chest, foot and arms and so on. I will play the game+ to get all the loot that I missed , kill all the unique monsters that escaped me and to make different choices in my sidequests. But that can wait.

All in all one the best RPGs I ever played. What an epic adventure. You guys have to try it out, no excuses. Importing is not rocket science.

Now to rest this game and my Wii for a while and time to start playing GTA: Chinatown Wars.

It is not that bad. I think with some smarter play I could go down to 160 hours easily.

I am not sure if you already ordered the game, but if you did, give me a heads up before you start, so I can give you some tips that will make the game more enjoyable.
