SephirothNIN Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Ok is there some trick to the dark congress to pass bills for prinny land, alternate netherworld, etc.? Because every time I go to pass one of those extra-level places, every senator is against me completely. When I go to pass anything else there's at least around half or more who are on my side. I managed to pass the cave of trials just by beating the crap out of the senators, which took foreeeeeeever thanks to some lv 450 crumbum (my guys are all around 100-180). Are those bills just unpassable through bribes, have to beat them up? Also what's a good way to level up? Tossing enemies together doesn't level me up as much as I want. Like...if I'm level 1, and beat a lv 130 guy, it only boosts me to level 27 or so, what a ripoff! The enemies in the hidden areas are supposed to be extremely high levels, I don't want to just keep going through item world to level up lol.

Semjaza Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Well, you had that other thread, but I know you couldn't post in it due to the double posting rules heh... so no big deal. Besides this game needs all the discussion it can get. Best RPG on the PS2, I'd say. With the congress, it's really hit or miss. Obviously you can bribe them with items, but if you have a guy marked as "loathe" no amout of items you can hold are probably going to change his mind (maybe if you have like 25 must have items, but that would just take care of maybe two guys? lol). However, if it's anything else bribes usually will work a bit more quickly. Bribe the guys with the highest levels because they get the most votes. Based on my experience it depends on how far you are, but it also depends on your Rank. If you keep doing those Promotion Exams, I figure you'll eventually be at the point that they'll take you seriously. I think it maxes at Level 11, although I'm nowhere near that yet. If not, I guess you could always attack them lol I also find that if you just keep entering and exiting the Congress menu, the Influence amount will change. I just keep doing that over and over until I get a high number. Usually it only takes three or four tries. I don't know if that'll help or not. You most likely already know that heh. As for leveling... Throwing guys together works fine, obviously. However, I recommend going to a map filled with squares marked '"Invulnerable". As long as you're on one, you can't be hurt. Just pick up a monster and throw him onto a normal square and attack the hell out of him. Chapter 5, Map 3 is a good place to start. I'd also work hard to find stages where you know how to get rid of every last Geo Panel (preferably one with every color). You'll probably kill everything on the map within a few turns if you're lucky... plus you get all sorts of nice XP bonuses and such. Also, really use those extra XP squares to your advantage. As for the Item World, well you know already lol. I figure if you find one of those items with monsters that are Level 255 on the first floor, you don't have to spend too much time in there.

SephirothNIN Posted January 20, 2004 Author Share Posted January 20, 2004 Getting to level 11 doesn't help that much, just lets you pass more expensive stuff like the mysterious seal. I recommend just getting to lv 150+ and forcing every bill through heh. Anyway I found a really awesome place to level up in the cave of trials, it's the...3rd level I think. You need to have a rank of 7 or 8 to pass the cave of trials (700 mana), but you should do that asap if you want to level up. The battle has a 3 x 3 grid of enemies...eh I forget the name of them, they're the big guys with one eye and magnetic attacks. They're level 150 (and one guy in the middle who's stronger) so you have to be pretty strong. The entire battlefield is exp + 50% thanks to a geosphere though. I just put on a lv 300 statistician on the person I want to level up, and have them kill all the enemies (at once is better, with something like big bang or winged slayer). I've gained over 100 levels with just one time through that level, heh but passing the "Triple exp" bill will help a lot too. If you're not strong enough to kill them with one guy...try casting braveheart as many times as possible on the one you want to gain exp, then have someone else weaken the enemies with a winged slayer or big bang of their own.

Zidane Posted January 20, 2004 Share Posted January 20, 2004 This game sounds very interesting. Bribing people...Bashing them up... Dam i wanna play it. Can anyway give me the 411 on it, Like whats the story etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SephirothNIN Posted January 21, 2004 Author Share Posted January 21, 2004 It's a pretty cool game, basically the story starts out with the main character, Laharl, being woken up by a vassal of his. He's the prince of the netherworld and he learns that he's been sleeping for 2 years and that his father's dead. So he sets out to beat everyone up and become the new king/overlord guy. Sounds kind of basic I guess but it gets better when angels and earthlings come into the story, plus it has a lot of funny moments. The only thing I don't like is you can't revive characters in a battle, only after, and also the job system has more to do with stats than abilities. So anyone with an axe will learn the same 5 or 6 axe skills, whether they're a ninja, samurai, archer, or cleric. Overall it's a fun game though, with lots to build up.

2010DigitalBoy Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 wow. I started playing this today (borrowed it for a friend, Ive bee DYING to play it) and Im freaked out. It was cool and I was having a blast, until I got to the first boss fight. Being the idiot I am, I didn't realise it was, like, the hardest fight in the game and got everyone slaughtered in two turns. This part freaks me out. Suddenly it starts playing the ending credits and starts me back at the beginning. WTF????????????????? HAVE I BEEN PUNKED? THIS AINT FUNNY!

[/QUOTE] Is there any place that sells used video games around you? That's the only way to get it now ^^; or try ebay? I didn't like La Pucelle Tactics as much as Disgaea T_T so I think it's a shame you didn't get that one~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
