Ghost in the Machine) to have the next bro arrive, and repeat. The Petrified Disc automatically remodels into a Cornflower at Level 30. Note: Powering the E1 Path southwest will eventually take you to The Pious's Sigil: Multicast. You are now finally allowed to power up all the Power Lines on the electrical grid! Remodels from a Harpoon with 100 Strength and 100 Vitality. Note: You can also view the original map with all the locations listed, made by @TFORTIERPHOTO here: https://i.redd.it/zb6lwqsguqzz.jpg. Power up the 6,000 kW Power Line it was blocking to get The Wanderer's Sigil: Cheer. Power up the remaining Power Lines in Lestallum afterwards and a cutscene will ensue with Holly, who will issue you a Solo Quest. In this hunt's last wave, when the Garulessa boss appears, kill all the smaller Garulas first so you get more item drops. It's pretty OP for this point in the game. The MA-X Maniple boss drops them and has plenty of break points, but we'll only care about its legs. I like the shorter red lines that are on the street the most as the game seems to give you more breathing space before aborting you from the quest. Kill them immediately. Then a Defense with Troopers and Flans, which is easy, ending with 2 MA-Veles and 1 MA-X Maniple (break their legs as usual). Note: If you have 3,000+ Gil, the Gil will be correctly deducted, so get near-broke on Chrome Bits before doing this, but not totally broke. This is about the point where many people start following a guide online because they realize how weak they are. First, make sure you send power to Biggs Callux / Wedge Kincaid (C2) northwest of Meldacio and Devon Elkton (C3) west of Meldacio. This is so you get the remodeled version's +300 HP Bonus immediately. Also, if you haven't already finished Crafting Goal #1, keep going to Cid until you get one of your weapons to Level 30. You can then replace your Imperial X-Blades with it. And now hopefully you'll forgive me for making you go through dismantling/crafting hell to get up 2.6K+ STR. Nothing your Avatar/Glaive has gained or earned will affect this quest's difficulty unfortunately. If you started by playing the Standalone: Dragon Whisker Level 119 Final Mat Note (Skipping Crafting Goal #5), Buying FFXV and Getting the Right Version of Comrades, Cid and Cindy (Crafting and Discount Boosts), Keeping Boosts Permanently (Boost Transfer Bug), Equalizer (The Best Damage Boost in the Game), Rare Enemies: Cactuars, Gigantaurs, and Magic Pots, Missables and One-Time-Only Opportunities, How Items Drop (Defeating and Breaking Enemies), Ability Stacking, Passives, and "Gotchas", Descent into Darkness: Rescue the citizens. Note: Prioritize attacking and breaking the Killer Wasps first while your AI handles the other mobs. Fill up the remaining levels (if any) with the same mats or any other +STR/VIT mats like Sabertusk Claw, Hard Scale, or anything else really -- it doesn't make a huge difference. Point-Warp to a lamp post if the situation is hairy or you need MP. After you've updated to Comrades 1.2 and have beaten the game at Galdin Quay, when you next load into Lestallum, a short scene will take place ("Several days later"). It's OK if you let some Goblins run past you, as you should kill him pretty quickly. IT gives the phrase "a stiff drink" a whole new meaning: researchers have made the surprise discovery that alcohol actually improves men's sexual performance. Divine Whiskers Silky whiskers of a mature serpent, very resilient and able to shed any liquid. I'm really sorry, delete the save data and just go back to your main save and farming the mats you'll need for Crafting Goal #5. We won't be using the Kite Shield(s) for very much longer, so it doesn't really matter what mats you use. Please take a moment to reference the Dismantling section. If you have the Aerial Ace Sigil, just aerial attack his back. With the 3,600 Gil Bounty, that's about 55,000 Gil for only 10 minutes of work! Prioritize killing the weaker Level 12 Mutant Sahagins first, then the Level 15 Gurangatchs. Then you'll want to go ahead and finish out the three Urgents below to get three more Royal Sigils unlocked. Stay grounded underneath them and attack their legs one at a time to try and break them, putting them in a Vulnerable state. People asked for it! You can now buy the final mats you'll need to do your last crafting session. I suggest making a mental note on where you have the weapons equipped on the d-pad (e.g. You will need the Gil to get the 999,999 kW trophy and to buy some more mats. Note: Sometimes, Ifrit will not enter Phase 3, and will stay in Phase 2 (especially if you re-started the fight in older Comrades versions). Talk to the man located at the Pickax Icon on the mini-map in Meldacio. At the depot, barter 5 Dynamo for a Dancing Daggers. If you haven't seen this scene come up, it's OK, just keep gaining kW and you will soon. If it still didn't pop, try talking to Jeanne (Send Power) again in Lestallum/Hidden Harbor and it should hopefully pop when you're brought on the electrical grid, earning you the Trophy: Let There Be Light. It's definitely a way more useful Weapon than the Imperial X-Blades you have right now, but it's unfortunately not as easy to get, which is why I've dubbed this an optional weapon. On average, I tend to get the bug activated on the 2nd leg when its HP has dropped by about 50% or so. Also, there's two more Birthplaces, but they won't become available until you complete two optional Level 99 Quests. With the Rampage Sigil's Warp-Strike, you are very hard to hit for several frames, so if you and him both attack simultaneously, most of the time you'll come out on top. It's recommended you pick Insomnia because it offers the best stat gains for MP -- the hardest stat to increase in the game. Luckily it's only a rare break drop, not a defeat enemy drop, so you can Abort the Quest right after breaking and getting the drop (before killing the Flan) and re-try till you get the Tainted Club. You'll need to dismantle the Rusted Bits with other junk mats instead to get the Weapon to Level 49 or higher, and you'll need to get 12 Meteorites instead of 10 from Junk mats. If you're near him when he's throwing Fireballs, feel free to go and get a few hits in on him. As I said, he showed up for me in 3 out of 4 games within the first 2 hours (while I was specifically grinding the Karlabos quest early for kW). It works whether you're grounded or aerial and whether you use Aerial Ace or a different sigil (you'll probably be happy about the second point when you get to the 1.2 final boss). This crafting goal will be an ongoing goal for the next few quests. Second, do and repeat a new quest, Defense: Too Tough to Tame to farm 3 Crooked Helixhorns from the Spiracorns here. If you started by playing Comrades 1.0: 68 Drooping Whiskers (118,320 Gil or 94,656 Gil [20%]) . If you're playing the Standalone, your allies should start with ingredients. The Cornflower is arguably the best Shuriken in the game because it comes with two innate Abilities that can restore both your HP and MP by simply attacking: Soulsiphon X and Lifedrain X. When you've cleared the area, give it to the Magic Pot by Holding TRIANGLE. The 1.26 update should be around 30.0 GB in size, and like before, say it's for the current latest version (e.g. The Lumen Flare helps put some enemies in Vulnerable state if you can aim it right, but you don't have to use it. We start at Lestallum (which we have just finished powering up), and there are four color-coded paths I've labeled with different letters (A, B, C, D) that we'll take to get to the four Outposts. It's generally agreed to be one of the best weapons in the game. Standalone (Post Game) Note: Before updating to the Standalone, and while you are still playing Comrades 1.2 (FFXV 1.26), you may wish to do the Final Round: The Bladekeeper's Trial.It is 100% harder to do in the Standalone version due to a key change the developers made, but it is a completely optional quest that is not tied to any trophies. After the bees, Point-Warp (TRIANGLE) to high ground, move across the beam carefully, then Blade-Warp (L1 + TRIANGLE) to the woman on the ropeway and help her to finish out the quest. At that point, you should wind up with 99 Electrolytic Condensers and 30-50 Laser Sensors. It's possible to get Ifrit stuck on the stairs (or steps) leading from the main platform you start on down to the lower level. Note: If you are playing a newer Comrades version (e.g. Ifrit will eventually enter the third and final phase when he levitates up in the air with a spiral below him. Refer to the Equalizer Buff section and after getting the buff, use the Boost Transfer Bug to transfer the buff to a new Level 1 Avatar. Finally, try to break the boss's tusks to get a Great Garula Tusk. All weapons can be leveled up, but some weapons come with preset abilities and remodeling requirements. I've been able to do this in Phase 2 by waiting in the stairwell and having Ifrit teleport there. See the Trophy Cleanup #3 section for details. We will level all our weapons with Laser Sensors, and also finally remodel the Corsesca into a Dragon Whisker. An Arachne near the store may be bugged and impossible to kill in Ver 1.0, so just skip it. Staying in the air will keep you safe from the Hecteyes' laser beams as well; just stay away from the Necromancer. A build video! Send power to the 1,200 kW Power Line to have the shuttle be bound for Cape Caem. Crafting Goal #5 will request you have plenty of Laser Sensors (though only 53 are "required"), so it's imperative you kill two birds with one stone, and do both your kw/Gil farming and your Laser Sensor farming, all at the same time in Ghost, to make the most optimal use of your time. Before you start this battle, make sure you have both Fire Resistance and Shot Resistance at 100% in order to not take damage from Ifrit's Fireballs, which apparently count as both fire and ballistic damage. Back at Lestallum, talk to Jeanne (Send Power) to power up the 8,000 kW Power Line south of Old Lestallum to Hidden Harbor, a new Outpost. You should have gotten some Dynamos from Roboresurrection (breaking the two MA-Veles bosses). The Malboros will give you a clue with their mouths when they're about to do Bad Breath. First, travel to Meldacio and re-buy 1 Imperial Blades (3,000 Gil) and 1 Clarity Shield (7,030 Gil). In the mean time, you'll probably wind up with a lot of Behemoth Hexhorns (its common drop). His 3-Bar Technique Trigger Happy (L2 + UP) is fantastic for massive damage. In Lestallum, on the mini-map, you will eventually see a new < ? My best advice for now is to just keep plowing through and farm for the mats you'll need in Crafting Goal #5. You'll find them near the same spot on the upper level (more directly in front of the Power Plant this time), and you'll be able to have a re-match with them individually or all at once. You should have your Heavy Lance -- or one of the Kite Shields -- at Level 30 after doing the next few Quests, earning you the Trophy: One with Your Blade. You'll be using the R1 Button a lot with him to shoot. Buy 99 Rusted Bits (11,880 Gil or 9504 Gil [20%]) from the Treasures Shop woman in the middle (trivia: this was actually an old woman in 1.0, but is now a younger woman in 1.2). (Trophy: Beacon of Hope), Crafting Goal #1: Remodeling a Javelin into a Level 30 Weapon (Trophy: One with Your Blade), Descent into Darkness: Supply power to major outposts. You'll fight with Aranae, who will be a huge help. The Mutant Jabberwock bosses here can do an AoE attack that can turn you and your allies into Stone, but this is just a minor annoyance, as you'll only be frozen for a few seconds (and invulnerable to damage). To make it a bit easier, you should equip the The Fierce's Sigil: Rampage. Note: The Petrified Disc/Cornflower below is an optional weapon you can get very soon in the Walkthrough, so I'm including it in this Crafting Goal. Once you've killed the Malboro, two more will spawn -- concentrate on one at a time. If you lose the battle, the game will be kind enough to let you restart it immediately. For efficiency reasons, there's no need waste kW unlocking any Power Stations or Power Lines outside the paths shown on the map. If you are crafting with Cid's 20% Crafting Boost, you may need slightly fewer Meteorites than what's listed. How to Obtain. Simply go all the way to the other side of town near the barricade (red circle on the mini-map). This is a Level 70 quest that's blocking a Royal Sigil. Silky serpent whiskers, very resilient and able to shed any liquid. Do the Hunt: A Tangled Web They Weave one time for more kW (it's an easy and straightforward quest) and then power the path, finishing with the 2,000 kW Power Line, to get to the Royal Sigil. Also, if you haven't already, equip The Oracle's Sigil: Healing Light into your GEAR before starting this quest, as you'll want the 100% MP for doing Chain Warps. Wait where you are for a few seconds, and two Niduses will spawn from the ground. Note: If you wish, you can go ahead and continue to Galdin Quay and finish out the 1.0 Comrades content and beat the game. The remodeling process will be: Javelin > Heavy Lance > Knight's Lance. I recommend three quests for this (depending on your GEAR setup): Proving the "No Ingredient Nest Manager (Kenny)" Method Does Not Work Offline (1:00 Video). 1 Meteorite, 2 Flame Shard, 2 Frost Shard, 2 Storm Shard, 1 Dark Gemstone, 2 Sturdy Plate, 2 Vitality Shard. Never, ever let yourself stay on the lower level; if you get knocked down there, please Warp-Point back up immediately to a light pole. You should then see a notice saying "The refugees at Meldacio Hunter HQ have banded together." The Tears imbue Penetrator X, one of the best abilities in the game dropping the target's defense by 50%. If you equip it into your GEAR's Royal Sigil slot, you'll see that it gives you 100% MP, doubling it to about 120. Buying kW from Navyth in Old Lestallum (0:48 Video). If you have your Fire Resistance and Shot Resistance high enough, you won't take damage from the fireballs. Afterwards, sell your old Level 1 Kite Shield (if you leveled it as a backup in Crafting Goal #1) and two Level 1 Javelins (that were dismantled from Heavy/Knight's Lance) as you no longer need them and they're an eyesore in the Weapons List. So, please don't waste your time doing this. Also, note that you can ride the Elevator all the way up to the top of the Lighthouse and talk to Weskham and buy additional Avatar/Clothing Items (though you shouldn't right now). It makes the game a little more fun/easier to play because you can simply stay in the air, switch from your Dragon Whisker to it, and get back all your HP/MP after attacking a few times (usually). This is an easy urgent for you at this point. You'll then fight a Coerul followed by two more. Power up the 16,000 kW Power Line it was blocking to get The Tall's Sigil: Aura. Your final goal before updating to Comrades 1.2 is to grind Ghost in the Machine for about 2 hours doing the Item Drop bug until you have around 350,000 Gil. At some point you'll become very powerful -- too powerful, especially when you get your Level 99 Dragon Whisker. Please don't be like me and waste many hours trying this; I'm only trying to save you time: Once you've seen the Nest Manager (and hopefully it'll be sooner rather than later), you'll earn the Trophy: Come Back, Kenny! I'm sad to say, but I currently believe this is an RNG thing, although there may be some "guaranteed" method to have him show offline waiting to be discovered. However, this is a rare drop and can take several hours to get depending on your luck. I'll remind you when you should come here, but if you want to power it now, it isn't a big deal (you'll just end up doing one more Karlaboss run). If you still haven't seen him, I feel your pain. When crafting, you can Imbue an Ability from a mat onto a Weapon. So, just to finally prove these rumors don't work offline (and were just a lucky coincidence), here are screenshots I took.

Your damage to him will show up in purple and only be around 1-3K damage per hit. I recommend killing the Liches while you're out here. I recommend starting with Gladiolus since he is the easiest/strongest to play this quest with. This quest will test how strong you really are; if you can't kill the Yojimbo fast enough, you will struggle. It can be a tough one with the AI because it's actually a pseudo Defense mission disguised as an Urgent. Right after finishing Double Deadeyes will be this special quest. You must kill all 7 enemies, so help your AI kill the mobs first then the boss. After the 5-7 hours of grinding, you will want to have gained about 400,000 kW and about 200,000 Gil. :) It will become available under the Future tab in Monica's quest list after Gladiolus arrives at Lestallum, starting in Comrades Version 1.2. The timer does expire while you are on the Shop Screen (though luckily does not expire when on the Crafting Screen). In-game Description. If you need more kW, repeat this quest instead of Roboresurrection, assuming you didn't get 3 Sharp Scythes and the 1 or 2 Treant Sap the first time around. While it would be slightly more optimal at this point to not have it equipped, I recommend just equipping it only for the next two Urgent Quests you'll be doing. Browse latest ripper listings or post your own for free. This will put enemies in a Vulnerable state. This quest features a few weapon drops, but the one worth mentioning is the Befouled Blades (Lohengrins) dropped by the Behemoth King as its rare bonus/break drop (horns). You could level these weapons up higher if you wanted, but you'd be unnecessarily stronger while wasting Gil, mats, and time in the long-run. Sell Price (Gil) 1,950 gilG. Source. Note that you will still need some Gil at the end to buy 100,000-150,000 kW to get the 999,999 kW so don't spend too much!
