i finished it on normal difficulty some time ago and i liked it but i felt like the final boss wasnt that hard, maybe its harder if i put it in higher difficulty
My friend started with the higher difficulty and immediately told me that it was quite hard XD That's what grinding is for! Also, I have a question regarding the sub-scenarios. Can you do them anytime? Like, instead of doing them when they're first available, can you complete them post-game or later in the game?

Technically you can. But each chapter has a different Asterisk boss scenario/dialouge. Not doing them each chapter (or at least most chapters) makes you miss a lot of backstory/plot. Though some bosses do have overlapping chapter dialogues. (They should make a chart showing which bosses have unique ones each chapter to make such determinations easier LOL)

Also just listening to "That Person's name is..." So good.

Hey all, just thought I'd pop in here to discuss Bravely Default~

I'm currently still in chapter one haven't had much time to play because puppies and have been grinding to try and get the Merchant asterisk. I tried fighting him on level 10 and was utterly obliterated... XD

Do you guys have any strategies on how to beat him? I'm so horrible at this game q.q

Fools set the rules in this world. Just take a look around. It's undeniable.

Yeah, the Profiteur can be a real pain. I highly recommend you raise your levels. Profiteur's Takeover does exactly 300 damage every time, and at level 10 I don't believe your character's HP are sufficiently high enough to take on even one Takeover.

Ignore Khint, and go straight for Profiteur, as Khint will leave when Profiteur's HP is at 50%. Also, take note that when Profiteur Defaults, most of the time he will going for a Takeover the next turn. Since, Takeover does 300 damage regardless if you're even Defaulting, I suggest that you should just not default but do damage every turn and have only your healer stock up on BP.

Any advice for the Chaugmar fight would be fantastic.
Default while Chaugmar has his shield up. The instant his shield is down he's going to be using Energy Burst the next turn, so naturally Default that. If your guys can't survive an Energy Burst even in Default, you might want to give yourself a P.Def buff to your party to increase your chances. Another method to avoid Energy Burst is using the Valkyrie's Jump & High Jump ability.

Aside from that, once you survive the first Energy Burst, just bombard Chaugmar and he should go down fairly quickly. Oh, and abuse his lightning weakness.

I've been doing that, but I'll try again. I wasn't aware that attack counted as physical. I thought it was magic, lmao. That in mind, I should be able to withstand it next time I challenge him. The last time I fought him, I did pretty well...until I died, obviously.

IIRC, you'll get a key for those chests in Chapter 6.
Ah, ok. I'm still on Chapter 3, so I guess its gonna be awhile.

Thanks for the advice, Verdure. Just defeated Chaugmar! :) Can't believe I didn't think to default through the energy burst. Silly me.

That battle was surprisingly easy for me probably because of the over level XD That energy burst really hurt though, but combining attacks with its weakness, I beat him within a matter of probably 20 turns? I haven't touched Bravely Default since getting to the point where I go around fighting dragons for keystones OTL I'm debating whether to go back and grind or do what I can with what I have right now...

Okay, I'm counting on you guys to help with with Qada now. This fight is ridiculous considering the guy can deal 9999 damage and heals himself by 900 every turn. Like...Jesus Christ.

Main thing: it will help if you have someone that can use the Dispel White Mage ability - it negates his healing ability! Also, for his 9999 damage thing, a good trick is to have someone with Valkyrie and Pirate skills.

Enough Pirate Job levels to have Provoke, and enough Valkyrie points to have Spirit Barrier, because the trick is to constantly use Provoke when he uses his Dark Matter thing, in which he has a pattern for that - one way or another, he'll probably try and gain more BP, THEN use that ability. So on that turn, Brave 4 times - use provoke 3 times in a ow, and then use Spirit Barrier. It'll drain your mana, but, you'll take 0 damage.

Another option is to have all your characters have the spirit barrier ability when he's about to use his Dark Matter ability, just in case you don't want any of your characters to keep dying. Otherwise, yeah, he's annoying, but you can pull through eventually with enough patience & good summons if you have em!

You actually can't break the the damage cap of 9999 without using Bravely Second. Even then, just hitting the 50,000's requires some set-up. The set-up requires a crap-load of buffing and de-buffing, and abusing weakness.

It's a lot of work to get some of the higher numbers. Like the most I got up to was 150k out of 999k.

Random detail that I've been wondering about...

Eternia's governing body is called the Council of Six...but apparently only has 4 members: the Grand Marshal, Alternis, Victoria, and Victor. So where's the other 2? Or are they just the non-important types?

You will be seeing the other two during Chapter 4. They're the two most important that's why you hear scarce of them actually.

Whats your guys favourite class combos and abilities?

Monk / Dark Knight

Phoenix Flight
Minus Strike
Minus Strike
Minus Strike

Basically Phoenix Flight cuts you down to 1 HP, and then you can jsut spam Minus Strike for 9999 damage. Stillness is necessary though!

Oh, good. Sounds like things should get real interesting then once I beat down Victor and Victoria...
