Are you fucking kidding me

You can't name your character

Erdrick

In the US release of Dragon Quest 11. Is it the same for other regions.
Reminds me of Chrono Cross not allowing you to name Serge Crono. Maybe Erdrick is placed as an Easter Egg somewhere in the game, or just one of those things they didn't want because of the timeline / universe implications.

Yeah, you wouldn’t want to deal with the implications of two separate individuals sharing the same name in the same universe.

I want to ditch Serena but dazzle is so good for crippling heavy hitters. Anyone knows if Veronica or Sylvando learn it later?

Some DQ games forbid you from using Loto/Erdrick as a name. Usually because it's mentioned somewhere and it can lead to dialogue like "Ah so Erdrick is the descendant of Erdrick. I should have known". I think in one of them the game will mock you for lacking creativity, but I might be confusing it with another series. :M

I'm not gonna go back and find the posts...

But my take on camp fires would be...

If I run reasonably close to one, it should trigger in the zoom-file list. reasonably close is up to...whatever.

Why else would I bother to stop, rest, or save when I am fully healed?

Again, I don't mind having to stop when I need to, but otherwise the camp-site mechanic as far as saving it in your zoom list is fully retarded.

I'm wasting so much time now stopping and saving when I don't need it, that it is a ridiculous waste of time of clicks and/or pause loading screens.

So about the difficulty, after the boss I had such a hard time on, I one shooted the next boss, then wiped once on the 2 next bosses (with I think a lot of luck on the second boss who kept throwing debuffs and other non damaging spells instead of hitting me). It seems the difficulty is decreasing 50 hours into the game. It could be due to some special circumstances related to the plot tho
the party is just one or two characters
, so it's to be confirmed.

About the names I think there are names that make you start lvl15 with a lot of money or something (if google translate is accurate enough, tho it seems that "character name" is "rebirth spell" in the translation which is why I'm not 100% sure it's about the name of your character, but what else could it be)

Yeah, DQ has always had hidden name bonuses. You can actually shape your "class" in DQ1 on NES by using different hidden names which spawn your character with different attribute spreads. Pretty cool of them to still be using such things almost 30+ years later.

This painting lady boss is kicking my ass. I almost had her last time (orange HP) but then Jade's thunder strike failed to connect and she one-shotted MC with her finger of death and the rest with laser beam.

Another Stupid Design Decision (beside the stupid campfire thing...)

You can't buy (or make) a mana potion? WHAT???

So I am stuck with using the stupid camp-fire methodology to regain mana?

Yes, another stupid design decision.

Just retarded and a waste of my time.

It's called resource management. This game is even lax about it since most of the time you can just recover hp/sp and save right before the boss.

Haha finally somebody sharing my despair against this boss. It's also the first one who has 3 actions instead of 2.

I first met her at level 26, it was impossible, I got it at level 29 (hard mode). Lineup Hero Jade Sylvando Serena.
Veronica has too few HP at this point and will die in round 1 or 2 very often, Sylvando is useless for damage I used him only because of his multiheal ability. You'll need mana pots on Sylvando.
pre pep hero and Serena (and Jade for and even better effect) for a round 1 care prayer (or the other one with Jade) then just defend with Serena until you have to renew kabuff and/or cast accelerate. At level 29 you should end up killing her.
The last pack of mobs before the save point (not the big mob but the 2 small ones) can have liquid metal slimes with them.

Grab the Codex by the pussy
I really want to play but steam regional pricing is p. screwed in this title. This is around 3500 INR (~ 49 USD ) and is way too much considering that 3500 INR is enough to enjoy a decent hooker and booze for a night in this shithole.

Guise can someone gib me a key for this please?
Check you're PM

Yeah, I'm feeling the pain here as well.

I've grinded (ground?) my way up to lvl 33 with MC so hopeful after reading your post and making a few of the 'anti-mesmerise' pendants up to +3 that I can take her. I just had a go and she mezzed MC first go and Jade the second, while wiping Veronica and getting Serena down to the red, so I 'noped' out of there and quit. Might go and do the bird boss in the eyrie first, as I left him while I explored Pnom Penh. On the plus side, 'The Other Side' is a great place to grind. Free MP/HP at the statue and the little snail things and Mannequins are very easy to kill.

Serena is surprisingly tanky, with a shield and the shield accessory, her green "set" she has ok HP and same defense as hero who was in full plate at this point haha.

The charm is also why Sylvando is so good against this boss, he can dispel it.I also did the Eyrie boss first, he was easy compared. At lvl33 you should destroy him.

I just hit the jackpot for 1 million in the second casino, I bought everything \o/

Don't click if you're not past Phnom nonh or whatever it's called.

Yeah, managed to take Dora-in Gray (nice pun) finally. My guys were all 34-35 by the end as I ran into two of the liquid metal slimes on the way back to her after destroying the bird boss who went down like tissue paper now.

She still wasn't easy, took two attempts and it was touch and go at times. The 'Protection pendants +3' that were meant to give +25% mesmerise protection were a complete waste as all chars were mesmerised at some points and I even wonder if that was the right thing to gain protection in. Sylvando was the real MVP in this fight, both for his 'Sobering Slap' and the 'That's Amoré' ability that did 120+ damage each cast. Sap wouldn't land reliably at all so I had MC doing Falcon Slash and backup healing, Sylvando slapping and Amore-ing, Serena recasting buffs and healing and Rab casting Right as Rain and Multiheal as required. I'd have loved to have got Veronica in there to try debuffs a bit but I tried to swap Rab out for her in the first try and ended up wiping. Used a Sage's Elixir and +30MP potion in the fight, but was worth it.

I doubt I've got an optimal party, but it gave me great satisfaction to finally defeat that bitch. Really didn't like that she said she'd return when Modregon remade the world, makes me think we'll fight her again post-game!

Pretty sure you can leave her and come back to her later though, I don't think she's totally necessary to beat at the time you open it up.
