Re-designed the guide, more compact, better descriptions, with smaller pictures and a more clear weaknesses / resistances text. It is more pleasant to read now.

Gotcha will do for that melee!

Evil Dave [author] 24 May, 2023 @ 11:27am

@Vostroyan55th
Most of the enemies has Bleeding resistance. As long it is not +100 you can steal HP from the enemies with the Queen's Sword combo. As example, if an enemy has +80 resistance against bleeding you can steal a little bit of HP but if it has +100 you won't steal HP at all

Vostroyan55th 24 May, 2023 @ 11:22am

I see that's alright i'll use the Queen's Blade on the earlier stages hehe

Evil Dave [author] 24 May, 2023 @ 10:28am

@Vostroyan55th
No, is a late game weapon (two last maps)

Vostroyan55th 24 May, 2023 @ 9:19am

is it possible to let Ianna's sword earlier or is it just late game weapon? during the tower and abyss the light sword is insane i found myself only using life potions during the chaos knights and lord of evil boss fights its so freaking powerful lol!

Evil Dave [author] 24 May, 2023 @ 9:12am

@Vostroyan55th
Well, most of the bosses (and enemies) hates light, which means once you get Ianna's sword (and obtained the runes for the its combos) it will be super easy to defeat them, specially the last bosses.

Vostroyan55th 24 May, 2023 @ 9:07am

appreciate the guide! i was having trouble with some bosses but managed to defeat them all!

@maffhew
I find the bow useful against Minor Orcs, Liches and Trols. Drain = Queen Asha sword

Timmay Sneed 3 Jan, 2022 @ 7:22pm
