Hi all,
Yes I actually reached Redhorn Isle, and completed it yesterday. I know many are saying that it’s like a maze but in fact it can be fairly straightforward. Having said that, it can be easy to get lost or miss an area too.
I found that by keeping an eye on your map, especially after quite a bit of fighting, you can methodically work your way around without missing anything, especially if your like me and want every chest.
What I did was to work my way left, taking out every enemy, which actually netted me some cool stuff along the way, especially with the gigas. Then work my way back towards the elevator in the center and then work my way right. The parts where you can get messed up are the little ledges that sometimes you don’t notice exactly where they are unless you scrutinize the map.
Always double check the map as you can easily step off a ledge at the wrong point and miss a chest, also try and complete a whole section before moving on, and make sure you have completed a whole side before crossing over to the other side as this will result in some missed loot.
Anyway, after completing the 3 crystal things, I got the moon maiden bow by the way, and do not miss this bow, it is located in a chest at F5 on your map. This bow will save you a whole bunch of trouble and make boss fights, especially Brimmflamme, a breeze. This bow has all four elemental attacks and they are awesome. Even this early on Yulie’s ice attack was taking off over 1200 from Brimmflamme, he didn’t stand a chance, lol.
I spent the rest of the day hunting bounties which eventually got me to GR 16 and level 64 so I was pleased with my progress. Once some of my other party members reach level 60 I will finish story mode, as I only have the Madoras battle to complete. After completing it once already I don’t need a difficult battle there, just want it out the way so I can get Vell opened up. At level 60 and myself at level 65 the fight shouldn’t be too much trouble.
It’s strange as I asked quite a few people for help last night and didn’t get any which was disappointing, usually players will help in a second, must have just been one of those nights, they either totally ignored my request, left the room or gave me a vague answer which basically meant not right now.
Eventually I found a room with some helpful guys and ran Jungle Jailbreak about 3 times which gave me another bunch of useful items.
My next step is to finish up some more bounties for my level, try and get the last 15 or 20 errands done, then level up my guild rank to around 21 or 22 so I can hit level 80 after completing story, sounds like a plan.
If anyone wants to run with me, help me, or wants help themselves just let me know or send me a friend request, online ID Tony-T-Leaf, in game ID Assassin.
