Hmmm... I didn't even think about using time extension. Thanks for the heads up. I agree it's very RNG based though. I've had some attempts where I almost won because I got really good lineups from the start, and some which were a dud from the start because the colors were too spread out. The biggest problem I have is not lining up the colors, but lining up the colors with the characters in the right placement so I can actually kill the row in a single pincer. It's easy in Puzzle Quest 1 but a total bitch in Puzzle Quest 2.

You make me miss my early days when playing through all that story content and be in awe with those tough bosses.
Actually, that boss wasn't so difficult.
Is what I have, besides some other D Class drops. I just can't do enough damage it seems.
Edit: it was actually 9-3 and I was going in without a healer to chain heal while attacking. I was trying to brute force it lol.

Finally after 2 weeks of grinding I'm ready to recode Zerro, Olber and Amazora.
LOL, what a weird requirement, I certainly don't have a team ready for that !
And I have no idea where quest 2 and 3 are... I recruited the Golem in quest 1 but they didn't appear either.
Maybe there's some kind of time limit since Golem 1 ends in 6days ?

I wish they'd open up MZ King 5-6 so we can train those rank C monsters.
On plus side, C rank and under level up so fast.

Haven't had time to play much.
Only beaten R1. R2 drained all my stamina.
Weird fight. I like how you need to avoid wires and those cloud's breath attack, but feels a bit too RNG depending on how clouds move and those capsules pop up.
Also feels like Raijin has way too much HP in the first difficulty.
I've only done R1 and R2 so far. The most important thing is to know where to pincer, and to have one player with Eileen on the team to put the thundercloud to sleep. Always pincer Raijin such that you won't get barbwired, depending on the location of the spikes.
Wearing defensive abilities seems key. Capsules and Anti-Lighting shield might be worthwhile over tier 1 or 2 attacks. Radiant Shield (Lighting Shield) is also useful to help important characters survive (Companion EXP event on now!)
And yeah, the thing that blows you around can be put to sleep but the only person who has that ability in Rajin 2 is Eileen.
The problem with this start is that you're at the mercy of where the capsules spawn. It's neat that you're frantically trying to collect the capsules that are still safe to grab but sometimes you don't generate enough lightning resist and Rajin kills some people right at the start of the battle. The horizontal row for fences is especially troublesome since I can't move fast enough to double pincer with that setup. At least not without Control Time.

So I got my account back today! After the announcement that Monster Strike is dropping all online co-op, I said fuck them. After an email to support with some info, I got my account back here and am going to start playing again.
I need a little help, though. I'm on chapter 20 and this is what my "box" looks like. What should I be actually doing right now? I'm sort of lost.

So I took a party of beastmen mooks to 80+ and killed the golem IV a few times. He's probably easier than golem 2-3, and as long as you have the mooks over 80 you should be good to go.
Since there's only 6 days left, if anyone needs to power level you mooks from 70-80, take 5 of them to 24-4 and one SS or Z class mage. Repeat until satisfied. Since they are low class, they level really fast.
My full party was:
Beastfolk Healer
Beastfolk Warrior
Beastfolk Knight
Beastfolk Archer
Beastfolk Mage (fire)
and Dark Tortise.
I used the turtle as a second healer, who can heal when seal staff is up.
Also is Golem IV the only one that drops the companions? He can drop Orichalcum Sword and Staff which are at the top of their respective upgrade chains and give equip +10% atk / mag

If it helps bring a new epic console game from Sakaguchi (TB or new ip), I don't mind.

Giving your mooks a weapon with an extra skill on it helps a lot. It might be worth doing a few more times for the orichalcum rod / sword drops. I got 2 of each. Free atk +10% equip and they give good stat boosts.

Golem I, II and III are just easier options to get Golem Job3.
Golem IV has all the materials, let's you get SB% and also has some Orichalcum sword/rod companions as drops.
Overall, Golem IV is not really worth the trouble.
I see. I've did golem 4 6 or 7 times and no parchments. Wtf! All I've gotten is two clays and ignorant fleas lol
if it means they can focus full time on their new and potentially good console game then yeah, not only I won't mind but I'm almost looking forward to it.
Coordinating a time is a pain in the ass, but if the schedule matches up, I'm game. The problem with Eidolons is that the higher level ones in particular have a big time investment for each run, and each player needs to know their roles well. The ones I need to upgrade are Raijin 2 and 3, Lamia 2 and 3, and Phoenix 3. I have everything else, but wouldn't mind helping out.

Carry me through Raijin pls.
I'm down for anything though, gives me an excuse to actually play.

If you're getting clays still, upgrade your golem to job 2. I think they only drop if he's job 1 only.

TB forum has translated some of the preview for 3.8.0 - 4.0.0 updates.
Especially this pic:
Basically shows ~9 possible new characters and a new dragon descended.
Also, free Amina SS for new players. Free SS.

3.8.0 possibly next week, but seems to only offer Bonna Z.
Maybe Saturday's stream will show more.
Well... they're also giving materials up to J3, which is pretty neat for a fully new player.

So, I've realized that I've never done the hard version of 34-10. I should probably attempt that at some point. Is there a basic strategy to that boss? Should I concentrate on physical or magic attackers?
HawthorneKitty

I used only one magic to clear stray mobs; otherwise bring a healer and your strongest physical attackers. The battle took a while way back when so expect a battle of attrition.

Sounds fairly straightforward. I'll probably try it out tonight. Thanks.

Happy stream time in about ~10 hrs.
Keeping my expectations low, but always awesome to see Sakaguchi and Uematsu together.

They actually confirmed it.
Is this real life ?
New descended with potential first ever Z companion. (if I understood it correctly)
Also, the character with the most annoying dupes is finally gettting a recode.
Thanks for info! I guess I can start a Google docs and everyone can put times available and what they're seeking to do coop wise.
I was beginning to think this would never come to pass...
Now all I need is a new phone that won't crash after every second battle.
