Here’s a few tips for two of the hardest asterisk boss fights in chapter 1 Orpheus: Have at least one character be at freelancer level 10 so they can learn the skill “square one”. This removes all buffs from a target. A strategy that works fairly well is to have your black mage go full brave at the very beginning of the fight and use magic that the minions he has are weak to. You want to kill the minions ASAP and then focus on Orpheus Equip at least your black mage and white mage with clothespins to prevent sleep Use the black mage spell “poison” right away to get consistent damage. The final boss of chapter 1 Have your team equipped with iron bangles to increase their HP by 500 Have your tankiest vanguard use the skill “aggravate” to draw the enemy’s attacks towards them and not your squishy units like your healer and black mage Also have your vanguard occasionally use “defang” to reduce the enemy’s attack Have your bard spam “don’t let them get to you” to increase physical defense When the enemy uses “vent fury” they will have an attack buff, but their defense will fall. Use this time to attack. The boss ignores the defense increase you get from defaulting, so don’t default thinking it will protect you. Also poison the boss ASAP.

Thanks for the great video! I didn’t know I could do multiple forages at once. That was really helpful.

Didn’t know forage was such a good skill. Thanks!

I didn't know about using food items for more battles. Helpful video. Thank you.

Thank you for the tips

The insect treats (nectar) seems to drop frequently, especially with the vesps around Halcyonia. I would target bugs simply because you can stockpile their treats easily at the start of the game.

Thanks this has helped

If your like me unlock your 4th party member first before grinding otherwise that certain person will always be behind by several 1000s of jp. Another solid tip if you wanna grind each of your jobs to level 12 quickly early game get your freelancer to level 12 to get the jp up abilities and body slam. Bodyslam early game is fairly broken you can literally just trigger brave 3 times and have each of your party members destroy everything with bodyslam. This makes farming items jp and gold early game easy just repeat body slam at max battle speed on casual and when your done swap back to your main diffculty and continue the game. Also it should go without saying run freelancer as your sub job for body slam while grinding. Kind of pointless to keep grinding free lancer when your already level 12 with it.

the shiny kiwis drop a bunch of jp. Yo can kill them by spamming brave and items, if you're lucky they wont run. I think I've only killed like 4 so far

Hey! How are you! So currently, i'm in ch5, and honestly, in my opinion, the game pushes you to have all jobs on all characters, or at least, as most as you can get. Also, from freelancer, the lvl 11 skill, body slam, that scales with weight, combined with the passive "sub-job bp saver" from the pictomancer asterisk, that gets -1bb of all pb abilities on your secondary job, is insane. It's the best damaging ability period for most physical classes. I've been using it from chapter 1 and the numbers are atrocious. And it works fairly well on any class woth decent weight and damage. Not only for tanky classes, but Hunter and Beastmaster for example do a lot of damage with it as well. I'd typically have 2 characters that use this ability fairly well, 1 that i pick randomly and 1 with a magic class and white mage as a secondary job, and mp saver equipped on them instead of sub job bp saving. So far, it's only Meh on dragoon, thief and monk, but insane on vanguard, beastmaster, berserker, ranger, swordmaster and shieldmaster. Also decent on red Mage. And early game, it's insane on any class. Haven't tried this on spiritmaster, oracle or salve-maker, btw. Also, from what i've seen up until now, Freelancer, White mage, beastmaster, berserker, Ranger, dragoon and pictomancer are my preferred classes. Swordmaster is also great. I would prioritize those over all the others. Either bcz off their passives or bcz of their insane potential. For example pictomancer has the best light and darkness magic available up until a certain point, and also gives you sub job bp saver. Dragoon has the single best surviving ability in the entire game as a passive, Comeback kid. White mage is necessary so that you can have anyone you want as supp and switch classes on other characters. Swordmaster has "2 hands are bettee than 1" wich improves a lot of damaging classes, such as Dragoon, or even mages. Well, that's it. This has been my strategy up until now and worked wonders. I have 10 jobs on each character after saving Reimdhal, so i'm pretty happy with it. As a final advice, if you wanna level up very flimsy jobs, shieldmaster helps a lot.

Nice video, thanks!

Thank you for the video, it has really helped improve my gameplay.

Thanks

That’s really helpful thx 🙏🏻

Thanks Elvis!

These are very basic beginner tips. This is stuff you should have learned within a few hours of playing. And the tip about guest is backwards. you want as little exp. as possible unless you have all your characters.

What does the triangle symbol on the enemies mean??
