If anyone goes Toko farming and finds themselves struggling to defeat the island familiars, then please check out my video demonstration which shows the best familiar to use, recommended level, prep before going, and battle strategy: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZ-Em7eIkrubfGQ.html

I can't believe the timing in seeing this. I'm about to walk into a surprise boss apparently. Tnx for this.

I just picked up Wratch of the White Witch and Revenant Kingdom. I know, I'm extremely late to the party but I just got into gaming again after a multi-year hiatus. These games look beautiful and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for all your tips! Liked + Subbed

Also, move around on the battle field, and time when you're going to defend. Sometimes the charging up last longer than defend, meaning you did it for nothing.

I’ve been playing for 45 hours and getting close to the end. Definitely the best advice I’d add (and agree with) is to grind. It’s not great game design that you have to do that, but you’ll be constantly beaten by bosses unless you spend a few hours levelling up. So definitely, hunt down the Toko for their massive XP

Finally went all in on the game. I got this and part 2. Thanks for the tips I read the magic book and wont lie it almost made the game look intimidating. I'm usually not into this game play but I finally decided to give this a chance after play person 5.

some things to note as someone who has 100% the game and its achievements All item locations can be looked up in the wizard's companion and some items can only be stolen, remember to constantly mug enemies and even bosses it'll save you time if you decide to go for Mad Scientist and can give you helpful weapons during the story you'd otherwise half to make. Only Toko grind when you have Esther in your party, Toko's have the lowest tame chance of any familiar and are the strongest familiars of the base game you'll always want the chance of taming one when grinding them because you'll want/need two for Familiarologist. personal tip for people who have never actually played the game: the moons and stars mean things, its the games strength and weakness system. Sun types have advantage on Moon types and fire spells, Moon types have advantages on Star types and water spells, Star types have advantages on Sun types and electric spells. familiars have a chance of having their sign be double that just gives them a even bigger damage increase. Familiars also have a chance to be Planet signed. familiars that have the Planet sign are resistant to all other signs, familiars who have the double Planet sign have damage advantage on all signs including single sign planets. the game thankfully doesn't force this system down your throat but using it in when under leveled can help give you an advantage in a hard fight

Very late here but thank you for covering one of the most beautiful and underrated games out there. I love these tips. You got a new sub too!

I’ve been stuck with the Glittering Grotto to get the stone, now for a few days. I lost motivation since I kept losing to the minions(?) so I just did side quests but I completed like almost all of them and have less than 10 left. I think I’m just going to grind for now. After watching this, I realised my mistake with the metamorphosing of my familiars. I also only learnt about the Tokos grind strategy from you so thanks a lot. I hope I can get pass through the Glittering Grotto soon! (Currently at 28hrs+ in-game) ☺️

Here after the Xbox port, i can finally play this game 😁 Thank you for the video!

Thanks for the tips... I just started playing this game, and it's so helpful.

i just bought this game, never played any other installments so this video will definitely help me!

This game just oozes charm it really pulls you in unlike anything ive played in years! I'd been having a harder time getting into these fantasy games when you play so many that are so similar it blends together but this 1 stands out of the pack. I just fell in love with it and I hit the2nd as well. Both games I got for 50$on sale together 1 being 9$and 2 being 40$ worth it. Lol

Just started the games on switch,thanks for the tips

Thanks for the video! I am starting my own run of this game and trying to platinum it before June and these tips really help.

Awesome video! Thanks for making it. I put this game down a few years ago for no particular reason. This makes me want to hook up my ps3 and continue

Excellent video! Currently stuck at Miasma marshes at level 40ish so I think it's time to farm some XP and metamorph some of my familiars I've been scared of dropping back down to level 1 🤣

The first tip is covered. I'm a loot whore, and I take my time to look in EVERY corners 😎😄👍🏻 At 4:56... Ohh that felt good to hear 🥰 When a level starts in any games I play. I ALWAYS turn around to look for treasure 😏 Much thank 😁👍🏻 Great video 😊 I'm buying it now on (Sep 29 2021) steam (sale)

Upon finishing your video you deserve more subs this was very informative

Flipping tidy mun. Some great tips in here. Already gave the like. Rewatching a second time😁👍🏼

OMG Tokos at 2-3000 XP (!?) Wish I had read your ace guide sooner champ, thanks a lot ! 👏 Subscribed. Yah I always do side quests etc, excellent skills given. Absolutely right, some of the boss fights are tough and will annihilate you 👍

Very helpful vid. Got this on Switch for a tenner. Amazing deal and a beaut of a game. Just got inside Ding Dong Dell. Loving it

Just started last night and I'm thankful I found this before I went any further.

if everyone was as chill as you this world would be a better place

I recently restarted this game. Nice guide. Love your accent.

Ive played this game sibce i was 5 and playing alongside my dad. Even 10 years later im still charmed by the games unique style and have found my own wayd to make it more challenging and fresh.

I would add, as a alternative way for mp restoring items just play platoon in the Casino. Its a fun card game and if you win 5/6 times in a row you'll have earned a couple 100ks and after 1/2 hours i came out with 30x a full mp/hp item and 30x a full team hp item + enough badges to get every Char up to 4 stars movement speed. Ps. Also you can exchange 10k chips for 2.9k money through selling the weapon, which for me was the best way to get the 500k trophy.

U deserve more subs! Great video. Recently started to play this on the steam Deck. Been grinding in the desert and I'm gonna start moving the story along until I get to the grind spot you mentioned. Thanks!

I wished I had realised you can farm Tokos way earlier - I only discovered this towards the end (shortly before Shadar) and then I just went and increased everyone to 70 and then 80+ (except for Swaine since I kept alternating with Spoiler character - who I ended up not even using) for the White Witch.

I just started this game, thanks for these!!

The grinding for Porco Groso is great for getting guilders as well

Here because it’s on sale on eshop for less than 10$, been looking at this game for a while and this video made me buy it!

I appreciate the hell out of this video. @Amalgamingle thankyou so much!!

Didn't knew this channel, but that's a very good video! Thx!

Just discovered this game this weekend. I'm hooked

I'm playing this game again. Whilst cycling on my exercise bike 😅 I Wana collect all the creatures in this play through. I love exp grinding so I never had an issue with leveling 😂

2nd time playing. Tracking down the weaker familars as soon as i had the option to tame them , so mitey wont be my only power house

Here cause of the steam sale, gonna dive into this game! Ty for video

Easy way to get Tokos was my Mite's Smash attack which 1 shot killed him, also use 2 controllers, 1 turbo on X with a rubber band round it, for all normal mobs, as soon as you get a Toko (always middle creature) switch to normal controller to make sure you kill it before it runs off 🤗

When I came to Porko (just today) I was like: "It seems like I will have to grind. Well... I only live once, so... Easy mode." Than... First try! Things you do when you're older.

I always do side quests first. The rewards are worth your time. Plus it'll save you some money.

Khulan’s nightmare was the hardest boss so far.

Wished i watched this earlier already 18 hours in😭😭

Things i found out in my gameplay: 1) enemy ! Mark If your under leveled, you may think this means they are chasing you. However that is not the case. This actually means they saw you. So they give chase to you. However it is possible to avoid encounters. It may seem impossible to avoid them but thats where your wrong. Each enemy has there own way of chasing you. However some enemies will charge straight forward. Making a straight line without any turns. And some enemies are faster/slower then others If your over leveled, they start to run away from you. If they continue to run, they fade off the map ending the chase. 2) quests and bounties The quests and bounties arent limited to the area your in. But all the areas in ni no kuni. New ones comes in after you finish a main story quest. At first they are strictly limited to one area like at ding dong dell. But as you progress the main story, they start to expland. The quests and bounties do not have there own level but the number of stamps. Sometimes you get a bonus stamp. The number of stamps applied to a quest or bounty may be used as a difficulty level. Like 1-5 stamps. 1 the easiest and 5 the hardest. 3) familiars when you get new familiars or you upgrade them, they start at lvl 1. But every familar is different in statitics and exp rates. Getting low exp rates gives you more bonuses. But getting high exp rate gives you less bonuses. For example: familiars with high exp rate: +5 at +5 def Low rate: +1 atk +2 def However the stat that will get the best is depending on what genius and symbol they have. You gotta know the symbol weakeness/strength path. Sun -> Moon -> Star Sun is stronger then moon but weaker then star Moon is stronger then star but weaker then sun Star is stronger then sun but weaker then moon. 4) Combat Every familiar has different stat values but they also have different attack and movement speed. These cannot be upgraded however. If you have esther in the party and she dies, she and her familiars will still gain exp. 5) Areas Each area has enemies with different levels and the areas are usually blocked from entering until certain magic is acquired or progressing the story. WARNING!!! if you do attempt to unblock a area that was blocked then enter, enemies will make short work of you! 6) treats and metamorphosis crystals Treats are used to give one of the stats a boost! And metamorphosis gems evolves them. However theres a limit to how much stats can go up(10 at default). However you can increase the cap by giving them there favorite treat. Each familiar GENIUS will have there own favorite treat! When you give them a favorite treat, the hearts will show when they finished eating. Plus there familiarity heart will grow. When it grow completely, the cap increases. You can go up to 50 stat boost cap.

its 9.99 on the ps store right now, finally picked it up =)

Hey thanks for this. I always wanted to play it but my mom died when I was young so I kept putting it on the back burner. I finally got it. This really helped me because I will spent everything I don’t use. Now I will hoard everything!! Lol.

Took me 5 attempst to defeat that tank.I didnt made expresso, i didnt farming toco, i selected normal difficulty, but know im at pirates sky.. thanks anyway now im know where to get toco.

One tip whilst it's not a combat tip but the English dub is actually good especially if your welsh/British as the fairy's have a strong welsh/taffy accent it makes the comedy sketch at fairy Island very funny

I’m sure you’ve Heard this before, but I must say you sound like the tragic character Mary Reed. Love it.

Replaying this and just about to enter hamelin. Glad i watched this!

Thank you so much for putting this together. A brilliant video, and thanks to your efforts I think I'm going to get more enjoyment out of it. One puzzling thing is the side and bounty quests. In the Xenoblade games, if you want to take on a side quest you select it and you have a lovely breadcrumb system guiding you to the goal(s). I've not seen anything like that here. You have the star icon pointing you towards the next main story goal, but I couldn't find anything to point you towards a side quest goal. Have I missed something or are you left to your own devices when it comes to finding the locations of side quests and bounties? Keep up the great work!

For bosses, I've learned to call an all defense and then after a second, guard, it seems unreasonable because you risk getting attacked, but the guard times out otherwise

I got this yesterday and I’m scared to start 😂 these tips help. Maybe I’ll start later 😬

Thank you! Very helpful ☺️

I’m replaying the game, I only got to the forest guardian in my original play through on my ps3 and when I saw the remaster on switch I was so excited! I’m on Old Smokey and I’m stuck!

Thanks for making this video. I was about to give up on this game because of Shadar boss fight..🤩👍

This game is amazing

I just got this game!I can't wait to start playing but I have to adult for a couple more days first 🙄😤

Man this is very useful information

Very useful information Very well said

Wow!! This game does a GREAT job of not telling you how to play. I never knew that you could redeem familiar tickets at the trials, and I didn't know that you're supposed to return to the tree as you progress, I'm 54 hours in and I still feel like a rookie!

In the process od downloading this game. Never played it. Can't wait to get started

Great Video! Thank u

This is my first time playing this game you have similar taste in the video games I like your information was mega helpful I’m subbing thank you for the content

This game is taking me entirely too long to beat haha beautiful game tho so I'm kinda not mad but I'm ready to move on lol

Dude, heres a tip that will save you a tons of time and tedium from grinding : there's a difficulty setting. Set it to easy and say goodbye to grinding and farming :)

Thanks bro,i just start playing this,

I have been using a IGN walkthrough to help me through, & I always get 3 to 5 levels higher then they recommend for boss battles & have not trouble so far defeating them, But I made the mistake of taking on enemies in the highland area, & was amazed at how much damage their attacks do, & when I tried to go into inventory to eat to regain health, to avoid getting killed, I was surprised that I could not do it, & I got a game over & lost 10% of my money. So far I defeated 3 bosses & have about 24 hours game play. I read that for enemies in the high area, you should be at 35 minimum & right now I am at 30 & have orders to get on the ship for the first time.

bought this game just now. thanks for the tips and hoping to enjoy the game

I’m in love with this game!!!

I loove how charming the game looks, the music, graphics, familiars.. i just feel kinda unsure about the combat system cause I am worried I am going to get bored of it. Right now the game is on sale (9€) I dont know if i should give it a tryyy HELP D:

Thank youuu!!!

Very well made video!

storm element familiars destroy porco grasso, luckily i had two on my team when i ran into him

Voice of James Kidd from black flag😂

Leveling up a familiar before metamorphing is bull it has hardly any effect. Learn the moves then morph

I hope I can buy part one and part two together in a set that's how I got Final Fantasy 10 and 10-2

Thank you!

I wish Nintendo had trophies on the switch

Amazing game 🙏🏻

When you show the battle with the porco machine thingy, it looks like you do defend for yourself and an all out defend but then the attack still massively damages you?? Is that bc the attack is just ridiculously hard hitting or did you defend timer run out? Tho for the latter I wouldn’t have thought so since it wasn’t even a long time span since you defend and when the attack hits. I’m about to go into this battle so any help would be appreciated! (I also don’t have enough ingredients to make cappuccinos or espressos yikes) Thank you!

Hey I was looking for recommendations for dark cloud 1 and 2 for the switch and Ni No Kuni Poped up. I got luck with a deal on it do I had to try it I hope it's great if not better then dark cloud.

Good video, we’ll done

uuuum why u r not doing more vids like this is beyond me?? this is great! drop the streams! do this shit!

I've spend almost 20 hours with this game ON EASY and still struggle even with some random fights, this is ridiculous. And the amount of blabbling you are suppose to read is insane and I've started skipping it all together. And I've played yakuza games and read through all the written dialogs in that games. I can't understand why this game is getting so high notes.

#1 I wish I knew I was about to play the greatest game of all time

Thank you for the tips. I noticed one can save multiple copies of your progress or either rewrite one record. Do you recommend to create multiple records?

What a fun farming spot

so i play ni no kuni remastered on steam im lvl 22 and my familiars are evolved and also arround lvl 20 and what should i say..... the mobs on toko island gimme hell... cant stand a single fight... -.-

I don't get the Porco Grosso difficultly spike cause I struggled with the jellyfish boss at fairy island much more and easily did it when it was time

hi guys is there some way i could get the wizards companion (from wrath of the white witch, not the jet black mage) in 2022? I've been looking all over the internet and didn't find anything, and this is the irl book...

i just started playng and put a sunshine into the familiar retreat. what happens? is it tied to a journal/task?

Ur voice I very pleasant n sweet n enjoyable to hear.

I have a question how Do u Release familiars ??????

Tidy!

Thanks

Which one is better nino kuni part 1 or part 2? Which one do you recommend?

8:10. You only gain a small 10% carry over in stats. Its really not worth the grind. You might as well metamorph early.

Anyone else want to rip off a head or two thanks to the War God's Ax quest?

pulse seems bad agoinst porco, dont? I mean, the damage is in blue, it means not very effective.
