While I can get to 0:44 in the video above and sell garbage data for thousands of gold, when I try to go up to the next page, my game locks up. Does this glitch have anything to do with saved game data?
Inventory placement is important.
- Ensure a Wind card and Earth Card
- Buy a Whip, exit the shop and equip the whip to Teefa
- Buy 4 medecine then glitch the menu.
It should do the trick to scroll up :)
Yeah, it sounds like you're getting stuck on the top of the card inventory. Maybe you haven't bought any cards?
By the way, I found another glitch. Not the game-breaking kind, though!
In the fight after Darah & Barah, if you get an encounter with a single enemy, it'll be unrunnable. That's because the game only overwrote the first enemy slot, so the second slot (Barah) still says there's a boss present.
Unrelated, I recently finished a Low Level Game in my mod Arcana: Seal of Rimsala. Anyway, instead of spending all my money on Intelligence, I spent most of it on Alertness. On the trip up in Chapter 5, Rooks got many first turns which made running much easier. And in the fight against Rimsala, he got crits and extra turns that helped out a lot too.
Final fight is unchanged from vanilla (besides the translation), same final equipment and same final boss stats, I'm just showing off how many turns I got. This is one of the reasons I was suggesting to raise Alertness too.
Sorry I got carried away, so you did not buy any Intelligence Honey at all ?
The speedrun route makes it to Rimsala around lvl 17 which would get Rooks max HP barely under 400HP. Are the stats per level the same in the mod ?
Yep, that's my mod! I'm that Autumn.
I did get some intelligence honey, but it wasn't enough so I went back and sold Darwin and Teefa's equipment for agility honey. The level ups are the same, but there's other differences that make SOR a lot easier. There's EXP rollover so you can gain multiple levels in one fight, honeys raise 4 points instead of 3, Fog cards are 30 instead of 100... it's a more accessible experience. Although, the shield bug is fixed so you'll actually need a shield or you'll have 0 magic defense.
I was rewatching the Rimsala fight video. Although you enter the fight with 160+ Alertness, Rimsala manages on a few occasion to attack 3 times in a row. I definitely notice that Rooks gets more turn. I would be curious to fiddle with this and apply it to the run. The Rimsala fight seems faster that way.
I wonder how I could get to 90+ INT and 160+ Alertness
I mean, you had like 32,000 GP left over in that run.
You're right, I could move the honey grind to Chapter 4 where Agility Honey is first available. At lvl 12 and with 40 Agility Honey Rooks makes it to 160 Alertness.
The extra money at the beginning of chapter 5 could be used for a couple of Intelligence Honey (8-10) and it might be enough. My PB skips the Golden Sword in Stavery Tower 10th but could be a nice safety to get that money to ensure 3 more honeys.
With 40 Agility Honey at Chapter 4 and 14 Intelligence Honey on Chapter 5 I get those stats. Still manage to have 23K Gold to refill on Fog Cards and Medicines!
Yeah, the cards and medicine should only be a few thousand though. You could still blow the rest on more Intelligence. No idea what the optimal stats would be, though.
That's really weird, not sure why it's doing that for you. I'd like to help troubleshoot it when I'm off work, in the meantime you should save before the shopping so you don't have to wait through the intro. Might wanna try other card combinations, maybe Wind 1/Earth 1/Water 1, or Wind 1. The values bugging out look to be around max MP/max HP which shouldn't be any different, so I'm a bit puzzled.
I really doubt there's a separate release of the game, though...
If I counted right, it looks like it's getting hung up on Sylph's 100 max HP. Could you recall Sylph and see if that works for you?
You're on console, right Iceplug? I wonder if a different release of the SNES could cause it. I've seen it work on emulator and the SNES mini.
Out of curiosity, does it still freeze if you haven't recruited Teefa and if Sylph isn't present?
