So I went down to the pits.
And I headed into the reaches.
I tangled with the red-skinned demon fellow without too much difficulty.
And THEN.
Oh, THEN.
I met GHARON.
I've been trying to kill the bastard for the past two hours.
I lost count of how many times I've died, but it's certainly more than a baker's dozen.
Can someone -please- offer me a viable strategy on beating this guy?
I was originally of the impression that my stats were pretty downright good.
I have yet to actually -miss- an item throughout all six episodes, according the guides.
Yet here I am, getting repeatedly bitchslapped in the face.
My Trascendant sword auras are all level 5, just one level below max.
I've equipped flows to guard against the status effects he normally uses that really cripple me (XL Seep, Blind, etc), and am using Aionsluh, just because its my favorite.
But I've been so busy trying to keep my people ALIVE that I rarely have time to actually ATTACK with anyone.
I've tried using Lexus' wellspring ability, tried switching out party members, tried everything I can think of.
Should I max out my swords?
I still have some heart stones I could absorb, but I can't imagine ten extra hit points making much of a difference.
Any help is appreciated.
Edit: I noticed in Jabbo's FAQ it notes the stats for Midian and Sacrifa as they "level up"...? Sacrifa has been in my party since the very beginning of the game, and Midian only out of a few battles, yet I've never seen any of their stats improve, besides new abilities whenever I'd find a blade or aura for them. Was this "leveling" feature removed from the episode, or...?
