mokasuiI'll get two 100%s one of these days. Spoilers for like everything in Zangeki no Reginleiv, though I'm certainly not talking about the story in this post.
Mostly played Online mode (alone, though, since I have tons of grinding to do before me and my friend will able to handle the rest of Hardest). I farmed 47 on Hard for the last 7000 or so mana crystals I needed to get stuff in the way for Frey's Level 5 Spear. I really like that stage for grinding. I can just sit with the spawn tower outside of my sword's range and cut everything without paying any attention after damaging it enough to start spawning the huge giants. 20-30 minutes of that gets me somewhere between 7000 and 12000 crystals on Hard depending on how fast I actually get it set up. 7000's kind of lame, but 12000 is very nice.
After that I just needed some Fire and Light for the last thing in the way and the spear itself, so I did 63 (on Easy, of course; these Gate stages are just ridiculous and my Frey only has 1500 health anyway). Got all the Fire I needed from 20-30 minutes of THAT, but I still needed 3000 Light, haha. Ended up having to run through it again for that.
And to think, the main reason I did all of that was so I could grind 40 on Hardest without taking like an hour per runthrough. I think it actually got better after the first time I did it, since I was super cautious and ultra paranoid about dying, but still. Ugh. That stage always feels long, and the last thing I need is to take five years to kill gold skeletons. Definitely worthwhile, though. It's so fast now that I have this spear. I could probably even solo Inferno now (except it would be horrible).
Ended up running through all 84 stages of Easy with Frey because I seriously just want to get it out of the way and can't handle how much it seems like my friend intends to do it dead last. Ugh. I want the last thing I do to be something horrible on Inferno, not something tedious where if you poke something once it dies. Give me a sense of accomplishment when I finally get that last percent. He's sort of doing Easy solo with his Freya anyway, to work on a thing.
While going through Easy I grabbed Freya's Ymir Bow and made my way through the tree to get the Mac-a-Luin or whatever. Spent 35,000 mana crystals on that. :( I was thinking it would be a good idea because I thought if I had that I could easily do 47 on Hardest, but ugh. I tried it and nope. Way harder to control the stage. I just gave up when I died once. I'll probably try again, but I'm not very hopeful.
Also while I was going through Easy, man. Stage 43! Mountain of Death! I think I've only done this stage once (maybe twice), because I totally forgot it existed. But when I did it in Easy this time it just brought back all these horrendous memories of every single time I've done the stage. Stupid puking eyballs and spawning jerks.
There's also... a single random normal Lindwurm that spawns after you kill Loki in, I believe, 74 (not sure of number, but it was the one where you start in the middle surrounded by Loki, Hrym, and Hrungnir). I could understand if it was a group or a red or blue Lindwurm, but nope. Totally ordinary one. I noticed this once before when going through it on Hard with my friend, but I thought it was some sort of glitch or something. But nope, guess it happens every time.
So, exact progress if I remember it right...
Frey:
Easy cleared.
Normal: 1-31, 47 cleared.
Hard: 21, 22, 25, 26, 40, 47, 52 cleared.
Hardest: 40 cleared.
Inferno: NOPE NOPE NOPE.
Freya:
Easy: 25, 40, 54, 57 cleared.
Normal cleared.
Hard cleared.
Hardest: 1-52, 58-60, 62, 64, 67, 71-73 cleared.
Inferno: 1-10, 21 cleared.
Guess that's it for now.
