Labyrinth of Touhou Discussion #3

[Maiden Synnae ミ☆]

Can someone tell me where is located all bloodstained guardians?

I've defeated 4 of them... "Master light wings close range", "Beast of Centaurea", The one you fight at 12F, and "Bloody Papa" Am I missing someone?

[Furienify]

Is there a way to peek at the portraits for all the characters? I grind through this reaaaallllyyy slowly.

I could of sworn someone had image rips of the entire game. It had backgrounds, character portraits(the small and large ones), and enemy portraits. I'll put the Character portraits on the wiki under each character.

The last one back at floor 1, go back to the seal that unlocked all the other seals for the final one.

[Axel Ryman]

Wiki now has the Stand portraits(Out of battle ones) for all characters. There are a couple who have more than one but I used certain ones to leave certain spoilers out.

the pooshlmer thread for touhou labyrinth has them.

Can someone reccomend me a stat to increase as level bonus in sanae?

Speed mainly, with Mind/HP as a secondary priority.  The faster she is, the more buffs she can stack and the more often she can heal.  Healing amount isn't as much of a concern as long as she has decent skill points put into magic.


Also,

Rinnosuke

has by far the best image.

My avatar agrees with the above post.

[Fishin]

Made it to the final battle, and decided to give it a try without any preparation. 

Spoiler:

I got to a little ways after she summoned her third extension thing.  None of the other ones died, though Hourai Barrage and Royal Flare were hitting them pretty hard.

  Reimu is lv 106 currently.  Any strategy I should follow, and is there anything else to do on the floor right now?

Also,

Spoiler:

I was planning to use him anyways, but damn, Rinnosuke is awesome.  World-Shaking Military Rule is incredible in boss fights despite the significant drawbacks, he's got excellent durability, and his damage output is good with Scarlet Gold Sword.  He's also great in random battles with his last 3 skills since TP is fairly easy to boost with skill points.

[Maiden Synnae ミ☆]

Can someone explain how the crystal puzzle system works on 24F? I'm facing a lot of barriers telling me "The crystals must be aligned to 'X' if you wish to proceed..."

[Krimmydoodle]

It's similar to the crystal puzzle on 13F.  You have to find the three switches (fairly easy to find, they're together around the same area if you just keep moving west from the stairs) and set them to various combinations to match the barriers.  I don't know the colors of the switches offhand, but the east-most switch is +1, the upper-middle switch is +2, and the west-most switch is +4.  Turn these on and off to create the number that matches the barrier you're looking to pass through.

Strategy:Reach at least Reimu lv130. It actually doesn't take very long at all on 20F random trash, you'll level up once every random battle or so.

[Rikter]

I guess I need to grind for the Trio now. I tried fighting them but I was brutally Massacred.

Which one to I take down first? and whats a recomended level?

Spoiler:

Eientei?

Recommended levels are 48-52 and you need to take down

Spoiler:

Eirin and Kaguya

at the same time. The one on the left has double the HP of the one in the center and is weak to Fire so Royal Flare is good. And don't debuff them, when they have three debuffs total the center one will use a super buff on all three of them.
And they almost always use magic attacks so bring stuff with high mind.

[Kanako Yasaka]

Hm... Can someone explain to me how the final boss's HP works?

I heard somewhere that the limbs are all invincible until the third comes out, you just have to do damage to them so that the final boss can summon them.

This is true. They have like 100m+ hp until all 3 limbs are out, then everyone gets their real HP value.

[Kanako Yasaka]

What about the boss herself?

"Everyone" includes the boss herself.

Guess I may need to use

Ran

Just for Buffing and Beeing able to survive Magic attacks for the Trio.

[Taishyr]

<badadvicetime> On occasion

Kaguya

will be a total ditz and fail to use her nuke spell after

Eirin

falls. This isn't common. At all. But it's something you can hope for as a last-ditch if you kill the latter first.

In addition,

Spoiler:

Kaguya's

spell can be tanked with high SPI/high HP - that's actually how I won the fight; paraspammed the right, beat the left, tanked the nuke with China and then swapped people in to finish the job (since the other three died painfully). Don't try to survive

Spoiler:

Eirin's

nuke. It's SPI, but it's far more powerful.

Why is this bad advice? Well, I tried the fight about... uh... twenty times because I didn't feel like grinding, and finally got a lucky string of attacks off /

Spoiler:

Kaguya

took her sweet time dropping the nuke (though she did in the end) /

Spoiler:

Eirin

spammed Shadowstitch pretty much the entire fight /

Spoiler:

Reisen

never managed to get out of paralysis. </badadvicetime>

Oh, right. All three are paralysis vulnerable, but this is especially notable on the right foe. This might help if you wanna try for it. Think the left is most resistant, but the top might be instead. Unsure.

[yoshicookiezeus]

Or go with the tactics I used and keep spamming everyone with Royal Flare, switching in someone else with a powerful attack whenever

to approximately cancel out the effect of the healing. Patchy should hardly take any damage at all from any attacks the trio can throw at you due to her excellent mind stat; just make sure to give her some items that enhance SP recovery, as she will likely run out before any of them goes down. Since

This.  I think that I used a lineup of

Spoiler:

Tenshi, Ran

, Reimu, Patchouli for most of the fight, and they were nigh-invulneurable except against the occasional

Spoiler:

Galaxy In A Pot

, which even then wasn't very lifethreatening.

Either way, that fight, and most of the other Major Plot Boss Fights, are some of the awesomest in the game.

I'm loving the F18 boss but I still need about 10 more levels, possibly more, on everyone before I stand close to a chance, I think (...And I already levelled about 10... basically all you need to know is that my highest level was the absolute minimum recommended for the F16 boss but I still won... so I got here way underlevelled...)

[Taishyr]

I think I dropped Patchy around then just because I like my high-speed people, and Patchy's speed combined with the fact that she began to have issues OHKOing some mobs right around there made me just go "eh, okay". In retrospect, pulling her out for F12 boss would've been -smart-, but me? Smart? Nevar. Tactically competent, maybe, smart, no.

[yoshicookiezeus]

Patchy might not be very good for random battles on most floors due to her abysmal speed, but I find her pretty much invaluable when it comes to bosses due to her sheer power in the magical attacks department. And her excellent mind stat makes her a really good tank against magic users, even with her low HP.

Oh well. I guess everyone has a strategy of their own.

[Taishyr]

Pretty much, yeah. 's why I like the game. Everyone has a use, if they fit your style. Mine tended toward faster damage output and more durable characters (Marisa/

Spoiler:

Kaguya

being my own two extremely frail people at this point, and I've even switched Marisa out though damn it took until final aftergame floor to do so).

I had Reimu lv 98 when I beat 18F, but I felt like I could've done it at a slightly lower level (only one death).  The hardest part about the fight is the opening segment, if you can get through it with everyone alive then the rest of it is fairly easy as long as you don't slip up.

Don't expect anyone to OHKO mobs once you get to the upper floors.  Actually, you may even have difficulty beating them in one round at times.

Considering I use the heck out of Cirno in my main party (lolwut), I find Patchy to be pretty reliable, as Cirno is very fast and can usually slow down anything massive if she can't PAR it, so that Patchy can act pretty fast.

I haven't been OHKO'ing mobs for a while actually.  I made it to 18F at just under level 80 afterall.  The only mobs I could one hit kill were Rabbits, and the elemental and ghost things - and that was only with a KO In Three Steps or

Spoiler:

Levateinn

, and even now at about level 90-maximum, I'm still pushing it.

I've been rather underlevelled for a large chunk of the game actually.  I think once I hit about 95 or so for Reimu I'm going to see if I can work out a strategy to take that boss down then.
