Welcome to Gaia! ::

Any strategies out there...I finally got my team to level 55. i am wandering (not too far) into the deadlands. any hints, what should i be expecting, seems like a scary place and that damn fog!! I get all turned around.

thanks heart

So you're in the low 20's.... and from what I gather with the turtle and the storm elemental I'd say you're at the part of the game where it's the rains in giza for the first time?

If that's true, then I'd say your safest bet on leveling would be the entrance, not the depths, to Zertinan Caverns. Kill slimes and frogs til you level up a pretty fair amount. If you want something a bit harder but a lot faster you can go to the nomad village near Nalbina in the Eastersand cross the river and fight the worgen there. Stay away from the Saurians, in those screens because they will attack. The higher level you get the further you can move in. After the Eastersand you'll get to the Mosphoran Highwaste, then after that the Salikawood. When I was at that part of the storyline, I leveled in those places til I was around level 40 then I tried my hand at leveling in the Necrohol of Nabudis til I was strong enough to get far enough in to get the Zodiac Spear. If you do that, the game seems like cake when you finally get back to the storyline.

Arikaihart...
I'm slowly doing the hunts...on the way to the caves I bumped into the Wyvern Lord (thank goodness for magic & bows) HEY - magic bows! that would be cool!
I'm at the part where I need to go to Giza & fight the Boss guy. I am hanging around Rabanastre...now I realize for good reason...my levels are too low to make any head way.
Speaking of the caves...have either of you beat the demon wall?...the first wall. I ended up running like a chicken to the door! I had been back, but that guy keeps whooping my butt.
What level were you when you beat him?

My first time through... no I didn't beat it... I died trying. But my second time through I was very well prepared. (I think I was someone in the mid-40s as far as my level goes) and everyone of my characters had 3 quickenings. It was pretty sad how quickly that thing went down.

Demon Wall....I believe I was level 28, but I'd suggest somewhere around 32, when I fought it, and had level 2 and 3 quickenings. You could beat it at 28 if you have good weapons and quickenings. I used Ashe, Vaan, and....um......the knight guy....sorry, forgot his name. After the died, used lvl three quickenings with the other 3 people. I had a Steel Battleaxe(?, it's one point stronger than the Katana[see below]) on the knight guy, a Heavy Lance on Ashe, and the only Katana available at that time on Vaan (sry, can't remember the name).

lol yeah...like going to the waterway before i was even level 20. That was a mistake! *running...screaming like a freak**

blaugh I'm repurposing this thread...hope that is alright.

wanna get feedback on the deadlands...i have such precious little time to play...when i do, i want to make the most of every second!!!

thanks...you are the only ones who understand....*sigh*
