So I did my first chronicles dungeons (these are dungeons that absolutely require 3 players to enter, no exceptions.) run even though it was more of a tour run than anything else.
I had some hard bits in chronicles 2 dungeons, but these are easy compared to chronicles 3 dungeons which I'll... wait, I think I'll link this for general chronicle guides:
here.So anyways, after understanding this, the reason I had to do 1 run of each chronicles 2 dungeons to get my exorcism rating up to do chronicles 3 dungeons at normal at a rating of 300. Obviously, I was 12 points short, but DFO doesn't hate you on this one thankfully. The important thing to understand is that chronicles 2 equipments are powerful individually, while the opposite is true for chronicles 3 equipments, but c2 equipments lack the set effects power that c3 equipments hold. c2/c3 equipments are alluded to as gamebreaking when you use them properly in conjunction with others, but that's not what you came to hear.
First run was Void Rift, which is a fairly interesting dungeon that's pretty fun. Second run was Omza's dungeon... let's just say there's a reason it's the worst dungeon EVER, because it's so full of bullshit gimmicks that break at the tiniest lag which happened to me. Anyways, at the end boss, I was left soloing the boss because everyone had died due to gimmicks, and here's why the end boss is so bullshit:
Spoiler:
The end boss is a VERY FUCKING GIMMICKY boss fight that runs down this list:
1. He casts aura of betrayal on every people. If the player turns color, welp, he can attack non-color players which starts party wiping if everyone's not paying attention.
2. He says get lost and players get teleported at random. Fairly annoying.
3. This is one of the biggest pain in the ass gimmicks - POV switching. Yes, this does exactly what it says it does.
4. I didn't mention this, but he's invincible 90% of the time. The only ways to make him able to be damaged is to use attacks to break his cloak, turn into a monster and spam the A attack on him, or use the 4th player as the cloak breaker.
5. Yes, Omza turns 1st player into a monster which uses its X skill to heal the aura on players, 2nd into a monster that uh heals the random teleporting, and 3rd player into a monster that uses the X skill on Omza to stop the PoV switching. All of the monsters freely damage Omza with A even though the damage is low.
So if you lag even a tiny bit, Omza is practically impossible in a party.
Anyways, I solo'd the 8 bars he had left, and I was thinking the drops would hate me but a 3rd Chronicles EB pants dropped, which can be imbued with red, blue, or green auras. Anyways, I did the third dungeon which is much more fun than Omza. In the first drop, a 2nd 3rd Chronicles EB pants dropped AGAIN, and 2 avengers equipments dropped from the end boss. :getdown: I'm both pissed and sad you can't trade 3rd Chronicles Equipments, though, because a guildmate was trying for his eb pants and was stuck with glacier master pants and I get 2 of the pants instead of him.
