So I'm at the end of the game now, and I'm wondering, where do I even begin for post game? Which optional thing should I do first?

Passing Cave of Ordeals is a good start. If you can pass it (generally needs to be passed by force), you are probably ready to start there.

You may also want to collect Staticians and Armmasters. They're important for leveling and boosting your powers.

If you don't have em already, get Majins now....Powerhouses with S ranking in all weapons, beasts, they are

Call me dumb, but how does this work? In a shop I buy items with these two specialists on them, and then transfer them to my good weapons?

You need to subdue them (this also doubles their level), then you can move them. And you can move them to weapons or armor (any equip with room to fit them).

They max out at level 300 (which is 300% boost) for each.

BTW: Not sure if this game has the Foresight glitch (subdued specialists in the store appearing often, in Foresight glasses).

Nope, all glitches were gone I'm pretty sure.

And alright, I'll just buy tons of cheap items with Staticians for now, go to the item world, kill them, run and move them and train until I can start tackling the Cave of Ordeals. Can't wait for Rozalin and Adell. :3

Oh, and the staticins only give the extra EXP to the wielder of the item with them on, right? Or is it everyone?

Only the wielder, same as Armmasters.

BTW: Just at tip, once you have a strong enough weapon (sword, with armmasters and staticians too), give it to your thief and just let him level on CoO3 until he's around level 5100+ Don't bother transmigrating, not worth the time IMO.

Bleh. I leveled everyone to level 130 and up and it still wasn't even close to enough to beating the level. Any ideas? It's annoying. Should I just item world everything? :\

You should only focus on a few main attackers.

DId you check my Cave of Ordeals 3 guide eh? Or are you talking about the first level? The first two require a fair bit less power than CoO3 TBH (On account of the Galactic Demons having high defense and res).

Yeah, sounds like you need better equips. Try to have at least a couple characters with a good 3x3 grid of attack (Sword master @ level 10, Fist Master @ 20, or a 3x3 grid of magic).

What attack should I have to defeat them? (Not all at once, but like, a decent attack to kill them fairly easily.)

Should I reincarnate everyone? I have 4 people with 3x3 attacks, btw. Should I restart?

Unless you have an awesome mage, I'd recommend either Winged Slayer, or Big Bang. Have the person you want to level (with the 3x3 attack) attack last, as outlined in my guide and you should do alright.

Focus on characters you actually want to get strongest now (Sword or Fist preferably, just my recommendation). Don't cycle over until you're strong enough to do Etna mode IMO. Don't reincarnate until you've got a powerful character and weapons. Basically, you want at least one strong attacker in reserve, and a weapon powerful enough so that a level 1 character can beat the enemies in CoO. Well, a couple transmigrations at a moderate level might not be a bad idea, at least once you get a half decent equip, since the first couple of transmigrations result in a big boost.

TBH, I didn't do etna mode until I was strong enough to beat Prinny Baal I think >_> But that makes it rather easy....

Hm. Don't know atm. Might restart and go from there. Focus on specialists and weapon mastery. I rushed through, and I don't like waiting for so long.

I think I will actually. Get some Brokers, Armmasters and Staticians, go through properly, stuff like that. Thanks so much for the advice.

No prob.

IMO, don't waste time just hunting down brokers, if an item you're getting specialists off of happens to include one, cool, but Brokers are a waste of time. Managers too, though less of a waste.

Just powerleveling nets you a lot of cash.

Oh yeah, BTW. If you're strong enough, you can combine enemies that didn't get finished off, and combo them to death for an EXP and HL gain.
