Best Walkthrough online?


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to avoid picking up the official guide but unfortunately I keep missing tons of stuff. I'm not interested in getting a platinum right away (I'll save my 2nd run on NG+ for the future) but I'd like to get as much out of the way the first time around.

 

Can anyone recommend a good walkthrough online that maybe gives a general idea of what level I should be before hitting up some of the quests? I'm getting wrecked on my mage.

The guide on here is really useful. Starting off with the Mage is the hardest vocation out of the three. I used both the fighter and strider and they are much easier. It is very easy to miss various side-missions as they are only triggered at certain times and if you advance to far in the main story quests they can expire.

 

As for what level you should be, just attempt the first couple of guys you encounter and if you are having trouble getting past them then you may not be at a high enough level and will need to either complete some basic notice board quests or keep defeating enemies in which you are strong enough to encounter.

I posted this the 2nd or 3rd day I started playing and learned the hard way that Mage was definitely the hardest vocation to start with. Once I swapped vocations to Ranger, I've only been hung up on one quest (A Fortress Besieged) but eventually finished it up. I've been sticking to the road map and quest guide here on PS3T, I was just mainly looking for something with a level recommendation for the escort quests since you can't retry them once you fail and I've failed 3 or 4. It all makes a lot more sense after playing for about 6 days (lvl 30 at the moment).

Yeah the escort missions can be difficult if you are traveling to an area in which you havent been before as you wont know what enemies you will encounter. If your still having trouble just save before each one and if you fail just reload your last save. I pretty much just avoided most of the escort missions as the notice board missions are stackable over multiple playthroughs and since you have to do 2 playthroughs for plat any way I just re did the ones that i liked and easily got to 50 by the end of my second playthrough.

 

Goodluck

Good tip, thanks. I didn't know exactly how hard they were going to be since the first one I failed because the NPC actually walked right off the cliff in the middle of it... with no enemies in sight. After two more tries, I stopped, but never once considered saving beforehand. Fail move is fail.

Some of the escort missions have pretty decent rewards ranging from xp and gold to curatives and weapons. You will get an escort mission for just about anyone you raise affinty with. I probably could have got the 50 notice board mission trophy almost from escort missions themselves on my first playthrough, which is why it took 130+ hours lol. I raised everyones affinity that I ran across just for the hell of it, especially any merchants that sold items in hopes for new items or discounts. I tried my best not to resort to the guide at all my first run as I found the game to be pretty fun and I just wanted to get the most of it.:p
