I feel like I'm struggling less on Artist compared to Siren, it feels very comfy. That damage buff that Artist gives helps a lot. Positioning-wise, Artist gets you close to the boss too so that's important. Here's footage of the clear. Made some woopsies like not using Frangere Slash on a beefy 5x attack buff 💀 but cleared with seconds to spare

2024-09-04 6:25 PM

Artist Rafayel strategy: Bait and use empowered support skill (pulsing icon after a successful perfect dodge) before you use resonance skill so that you raise your chances of activating the 5 stack damage buff. Use your hard hitting attacks during this short buff window.

Under Deepspace 07: Moonlight Under Sea, pt 1-11

01: Investigation: Using the high-level access, FMC manages to find a news article from two years ago; a man shot and killed in his apartment, with no evidence about anything. After listening to the recording*1 and viewing the video, she gets an offer to take a bounty: the bounty on Qi Yu's head.

.

02: Canvas Enigmas: FMC heads to Qi Yu's place, where she finds him on the floor. Luckily he's not dead, only asleep. All over the floor are sketches, each labeled with 'Lemuria.' When Qi Yu wakes up, he asked FMC to help him up; if she chooses to, Qi Yu yanks her to the floor, and they go out to eat. While at lunch with Qi Yu, FMC lets him know there's a bounty on his head in/from the N109 Zone, which he is already aware of.*2 He also notes that someone has been following them, and the two of them make plans to give the pursuer the slip.

.

03: Secret Tracking: As it turns out, their follower is a reporter, looking for gossip re: Qi Yu's possible involvement in Raymond's death by drowning, as his painting vanished from Raymond's room without anyone else being in or out. There were also rumors that Raymond had cut up the skin of his arms and legs to look like fish scales. After some sufficient threatening, Qi Yu lets the reporter go with the suggestion that he make up for his reckless behavior by finding out who exactly has been spreading the rumors/trying to cover up information in the first place.

.

04: Under the Waves: FMC and Qi Yu have a quiet moment in a sky garden; Qi Yu mentions that he daydreams in his studio all the time, and has difficulty remembering what the real world is actually like. He thanks FMC for "bringing (him) out of his dreams today." When FMC begins to leave, Qi Yu reminds her that they still haven't gone to find a replacement for the coral stones for his paintings. FMC is less than enthused, until Qi Yu offers his help to get her into N109. He says, "when you see the big picture, you need to use some bait... Trade intel for intel, gamble to make gambles with higher stakes. But whether or not you can play the game is up to you." He tells her that if she decides she wants to go through with it, she can meet him at Whitesand Bay the next day. She goes, of course; as it turns out, and according to Thomas, Qi Yu has rented a rowboat "for a date."

.

05: Set Sail: Qi Yu and FMC head for Hat Island*3 while conversing about how Qi Yu is going to try and obtain a protocore to make paint. There's some exasperated banter, and just after making a comment about how he'd rather swim, the trip is interrupted by a very sudden incoming wave. The two of them arrive at Hat Island somewhat worse for wear. Interestingly, FMC says she's the reason they made it to shore in the first place, while Qi Yu announces that "(he'd) rather float in the sea than be on land."

.

06: Spring Excursion: On the island, FMC explains field trips to Qi Yu, and he suggests that FMC resonate with the coral to see if she can pick up any Metaflux fluctuations; he stops her from accidentally breaking it, and assists her in resonating; he says, "Everything in this world has a unique, unmatchable frequency. That's why each life is isolated. But your Evol allows you to change your frequency. You can resonate with others. If you open your heart, you can establish a connection. And share your power."*4 It works, which visibly startles Qi Yu, and some Wanderers show themselves.

.

07: COMBAT

.

08: Weak Fiends: Qi Yu gives FMC the protocore they obtained. FMC is surprised that her resonating with the coral had any effect at all; she and Qi Yu decide to camp for the night. A cat with a metaflux injury makes itself known. Qi Yu is extremely upset about it.

.

09: Withstanding the Storm: FMC drags Qi Yu to find the cat, which scratches him. Almost immediately, a 'Deluge Wyrmlord' arrives. It attacks, and Qi Yu splits the water with his Evol. He says, "Guess you like my blood a lot more, huh? Sorry to break it to you, but my fire can never be extinguished."*5

.

10: COMBAT

.

11: Indomitable Spirit: After defeating the Wanderer, FMC and QI Yu are dragged out into the ocean; seeing Qi Yu in the water, FMC tries to head toward him. After a brief exchange (and a flashback scene where Qi Yu says, "It's settled then. If you don't return, I'll... I'll chase you to the ends of the Earth.") FMC starts to sink, and Qi Yu is going to let her. He only hesitates because he 'hears' FMC ask him not to go. A little red fish appears over his heart. He reaches her, and says, "You forgot everything. Yet, you still insist... All right... This is your choice." His eyes flash completely blue, instead of their usual blue-pink, and we are given a glimpse of his 'real' Lemurian body as he heads towards the surface.

.

.

*1, In hindsight, we will recognize this voice as Qin Che. It's likely that the two people with him are Luke and Kieran. *2, See World Underneath: Long Lost Treasures. *3, The MERMAN is taking his (probably) Long Lost Love out on a goddamn ROWBOAT. Just so we're all on the same page. *4, I believe this is the cleanest explanation of what exactly FMC's Evol is truly capable of, so far. *5, It can be universally agreed that it's a bit strange for the mermaid to have fire Evol, though that doesn't explain why the Wanderer appears after Qi Yu's blood, specifically. There may be some background lore happening there; also, I'm not entirely sure the English translation is 100% accurate.

| SILVER SOUL + RAFAYEL. 

+cw. —f!reader, reincarnation au + modern au + soulmate au, angst, yearning, one-sided pining, mature content. hints if love triangle if you squint | +wc. — 1k | +syn.— with that money,power and status your client had you thought this would be your breakthrough after working as bodyguard for a while now but it tore your heart apart instead.

+notes. — i’ll say this again. bodyguard job is no joke. insert that meme of [ “do a bodyguard mission.”they said, “it would be fun.” they said.] | redirect to blog navigation. | thanks to @purpleqilinwrites & @hayatoseyepatch for beta reading this piece.

"I love you," Rafayel blurted out as he stared at the painting, part of him wanted to take it back, but the other half knew it did not matter since you must be sleeping somewhere here in this giant Mo Art Studio, in his home while he is drinking wine from the bottle he excavated from the wine cellar. Even though you should be awake and be by his side, you are not. He is all alone in his studio in the dead of night. His face contorts as he takes a few gulps from the bottle and keeps it on the nearby table. He hates it. He likes the taste. He would probably feel chipper and trippy by now but something happened this morning, something he did not expect, and all of this, this unfathomable sealike sadness stemmed from you. He is the God of the Sea, you can’t hurt him yet you did. Even the moon which was full has now turned into a slice, hiding behind the clouds. Even the moon is afraid of him. He scoffs at such sentiment. 

“Ser Rafayel. . . what’re you—

“Shhhhh!” He shushes you with his index finger over his lips. The sound almost comes as sharp as a whistle. His eyes linger on you, fluorescent it seems under the pale moonlight coming through the windows. He is standing in front of a painting almost five feet apart from you as you stand at the entrance of the studio. There are so many questions you want to ask him. What happened when you fainted? What happened to the gigantic sea creature? Why can’t you remember anything? — but all you could ask was, “Are you still mad at me?” voice as feeble as broken shells on the shore. It took you almost an hour to find him since you could not go back to sleep after what happened this morning. So, you’re not going back until you say your thing. Fuck work. Fuck professionalism. You want answers.

Rafayel turns his head in a flash. Mad at you? How could he ever? He is just . . . hurt. Why you ask? He turns his head back to the painting. He blames himself for the way you act now but he can not admit that to himself. Yeah! He is a coward. 

He did not expect you to be so cold after he saved your life. He hired you as your bodyguard for a reason, diluted the boundary of professionalism for a reason yet you have the audacity to tell him off? You might not remember your past life with him but he does and it is so vivid that it hurts to look at the same face that has totally such hostile feelings towards him. You do not know how many human lives it took to meet you again. Ah! This wretched curse. Humans are such vile creatures and it feels like a silver dagger in soul to have you as human in this life while he is a lemurian. If only he knew the way to make you remember . . . why can’t he just add some memories just like he wiped yours when he saved you from the Deluge Wyrmlord?

“Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be asleep?” you swallow as he questions back realizing how dry your throat has become. It seems that he is still mad.

“As should you be too.” He looks at you, eyes red like running lava ready to swallow lives on earth  with a visible crease amongst his eyebrows. “Ser Rafayel.” you add.

Rafayel walks towards the sitting stool that he generally uses while painting but he tumbles in his way and you instantly run at light speed to hold him. “I’m fine. am fine.” He assures raising his hand in the air blocking your way to come to him for any aid he requires now. 

“Can I ask you something?”

“Anything Ser.”

“Am I that appalling to you? He asked his heart aching since it still beats. The question hits you like a stone on a metal door. You do not. You clearly do not. It is just that . . . at that moment you weren’t thinking straight. You thought he did something to you. why do you think so little of me that you thought I did something to you while you were unconscious?"  

Your lips part for a second trying to form an answer that could ease his soul, soothe his mind. The answer is nothing but silence frustrates him to the point that he leaves his seat and stands up. You scoot a little closer fearing he would tumble again. Even though you emptied the wine cellar he managed to find one bottle. He must have a secret place or something. The state he is in, you think, Rafayel is going to forget all these what is happening right now. So, gathering all the courage you had left in your body standing as close as possible to him so that you can catch him if he falls. "You don't have any idea what you're doing to me." The amount of slur in his voice and the way his feet are wobbly he is gonna fall any second. . .and as you expected he falls like a withering petal in your arms. With utmost ease, you jock down on the floor. There is still a little bit of consciousness in his body but not enough to reject your help as he did just a while ago. 

He lulls into slumber with his head lying on your lap as he mumbles being under the influence of alcohol. "I'm in love with you," He snuggles more into your lap like a cat; so much for being afraid of them. "I'm in love with you and it sucks because I know you'll never love me back. Not in this life." As you hear his even breathing followed by slow purrs. You poke his cheek a little. He is asleep. Ah! Perfect timing.

Love and Deepspace: The Story So Far Part 3

A summary of everything that has happened in the main story thus far. Obviously, spoilers below the cut.

See Part 1. Part 2. Part 4.

Day 6:

MC goes to visit Rafayel and finds him sleeping on the floor. He is surrounded by paintings with the word Lemuria written on them in small print. After waking him, she accompanies him to lunch. He claims the reason he is wanted by the N109 Zone is because he refused to paint a special painting for someone, someone that would lead to their heart's desire. MC asks if it's related to the illusion she saw in his other painting. Rafayel is surprised, asking what she saw, so she explains. He agrees that it's related, and that the paint used for that was special because it was from Lemuria and can cause dreams. He refuses to help MC get into N109 Zone, saying she would be like a lamb to slaughter. She prepares to leave but he stops her, saying they're being followed. They escape the Cafe and trap the man, learning he is a reporter investigating Rafayel's connection to Raymond's death. He died the night before, drowned in his bathtub after carving fish scales into his arms and legs. The painting he had bought from Rafayel had vanished. After threatening Joe the reporter, he tells him to look into who is trying to cover up Raymond's death. After they leave, they walk through a district with a holographic sea event, designed by Rafayel. MC notices an ad for Rafayel's art exhibit next month. Rafayel agrees that if MC helps him find replacement materials, he will help her establish herself as bait for Onychinus. 

Day 7:

MC meets Rafayel at the docks of Whitesand Bay. They take a small rowboat, procured by Thomas, to Hat Island. MC tells Rafayel she came to Hat Island on a field trip over a decade ago. When they can't find anything with the Hunter Watch, Rafayel says that since the coral is from this water, she can resonate with it to try to call the Wanderer to them. He teaches her how to resonate with it, explaining that everything has its own unique frequency. MC resonates with the coral. After a moment's delay, a Wanderer appears. After defeating the Wanderer, Rafayel gives her the protocore. They find an injured kitten, and MC learns Rafayel is afraid of cats. The cat runs off and after they find it, they are confronted by a Deluge Wyrmlord. After they fight it, they get pulled into the ocean. Rafayel is interacting with a glowing ball under the water and tells MC to stay back. When she starts to drown, Rafayel turns to go, but she calls out to him and a mark on his chest glows. He remembers a pinkie promise from when they were children, where he promised he would chase her to the ends of the earth if she disappeared. Adult Rafayel goes back to save her,  transforming into his Lemurian form, but MC is unconscious and unaware of this. He says this is her choice. Later, when MC wakes up on shore, they are sitting at a fire on the beach that Rafayel set up. The kitten returns and looks well. Rafayel shows her the protocore he retrieved and says he'll keep it. Instead, he gives MC an invitation to The Nest. Then a ship arrives to rescue them.

The radio announces that the planet detectable through the Deepspace Tunnel is dead. In a dark Linkon alley, someone confronts Xavier about Isaiah's death. The mystery person has turned into a monster and says it will eventually happen to Xavier too. The man says “only she can save us” and “that thing is with her”. Xavier says, “Until that day comes, no one should even think about getting close to her. The same goes for me.” Xavier calls the man a traitor. The man asks if Xavier has forgotten their home and says that Xavier is the traitor. Xavier kills him and the body dissolves. He picks up an item the dead man dropped and leaves. Xavier goes to The Nest, where the TV is talking about the dead planet. The bartender asks if Xavier will join Hunting Day. Xavier declines, saying he could be on the bounty list as well. The bartender hands him a black envelope. Xavier is being watched by 3 people. Just as Xavier begins to pull his sword, MC walks in. Xavier meets her and pulls her outside. Xavier takes her to Azure Square, where she asks if something happened, to which he says not yet. Xavier tells MC that Onychinus is holding a protocore auction to repay their debts to their “partners”. An Aether core will likely be on auction. MC realizes they are being spied on by patrol bots. She suggests that they are sent by those trying to capture Xavier. Xavier combines their Evol's to create a distraction and destroy the bots. Xavier takes MC to a flower shop named Philo that has been there longer than the locals can remember. It is run by Jeremiah, a friend of Xavier’s, who recognizes MC, but then acts as though they are meeting for the first time. Xavier says Jeremiah is not young anymore. Jeremiah helps her set up a fake identity to make herself good bait in the N109 Zone, someone who can negotiate with Onychinus.

Continue to Part 4.

Whenever I see this thing, every time without fail, I'm like:

"Gah! Deluge Wyrmlord!"

Even though this thing hasn't given me as much grief as the fucking Myst or Ignitus Wyrmlord.

No real advice in this stage except to get enough oath recovery for a second oath to make your life easier. You'll need a good deal more damage boost if you want to do this fight comfortably with one oath

2024-08-31 5:32 PM

This was back in the day where I still didn't have Oath Recovery beta protocores because I stubbornly didn't want to farm them until I unlocked core hunt 10 LOL! To expand on what I said about a second oath. Ideally, you want oath recovery at least 12% so you can use the first Ardent Oath around the 1:00 mark, and use a second oath close to the end.
