So like. You can only have the player character on this mission, no reinforcements. Normally you can take up to 7 people with you. First phase is a shit load of enemies. A majority of those inflict paralysis (which makes the 2 attacks the character usually does go down to 1). You have 7 NPCs who you have to talk to who will not talk to you when there are enemies near them. I foolishly assumed I could talk to them after I defeated the enemies. I could not. You have to have all the keys gathered from them (which u get by talking to them) before you defeat every enemy or the quest fails and you only get 150g instead of 2000g. I did not realize this until I was 52 turns into the battle. After you finally get that done, the guy who put you in this heinous saw trap of a quest will be like actually 😁 you still have the final boss left. You're like ok cool. I can do that. But you see. The final boss multiplies to have 4 MORE of him and all of them are far stronger than him. This already objectively sucks but then I remembered that um. He inflicts poison when he attacks. Which w how Volfoss handles status effects ALSO damages how well you attack and move. All of these beasts pretty much have the same name minus ONE minor kanji change at the end of the name and good luck if you didn't write the kanji down that makes up the real bosses name. I am in agony
