Topic: Bravely Default II (Nintendo Switch)

@Balta666 again with the great advice! Body slam proved to be a solid technique. Between that and what @BruceCM recommended( sword of stone), I got the job done rather quickly. Of course I did have to grind a little bit and level up freelance and vanguard, but it made it much easier using those abilities.

Glad we could help, @NintendoByNature .... What with being busy over the weekend, I only managed to play the prologue so far

@BruceCM I really appreciate it. The prologue is long enough that I actually believe you 😅

Well, if I hadn't had other stuff to do & Baldur's Gate 3 to finish, I'd have managed Chapter 1 by now, at least, @NintendoByNature ....

@BruceCM off topic but how is BG3.
Thanks

Great, thanks, @jello64 ..... Finished the replay with the latest patch & will probably wait for a fair amount of more content before playing again

Just got the bard job, @NintendoByNature .... Got to go into that underground waterway now

@BruceCM good luck!

Well, I successfully snagged the defender by avoiding the mini-boss there, @NintendoByNature .... My vanguard already has the ability I recommended for you & my monk is also well levelled, to go with my mages both having both black & white magic, so I'm confident I'll manage

@BruceCM don't you have to beat that boss to get defender though? I read up about it but I'm too scared to attempt it lol

Nah, you can sneak around him, @NintendoByNature .... Save just in case & if you get slaughtered, reload & the monster should have gone for long enough Anyway, I just about managed the boss now so onto the next part

@BruceCM looks like you've almost caught up to me. I'm at the mansion now!

Which, the Abandoned one, @NintendoByNature ....? Either way, I just got the thief job! Should be able to finish chapter 1 before FFIV PR releases & I obviously have to play that

@BruceCM I just got the thief job too. So we're at the same spot! I saw that twist coming a mile away!

Yeah, I don't think it was supposed to be a shock, @NintendoByNature .... Just tidying up side stuff now

@BruceCM well I felt smart for nothing then! Lol. Side note, for taming, I've caught two monsters, what do I do with them?
@X-Slayer good stuff I'll have to use it then.

@X-Slayer ahh! That makes total sense and thank you. Guess I need to unlock that then.

Yeah, the next beastmaster ability is 'off the leash', @NintendoByNature .... So it won't be long before you can start using your monsters! I finished Chapter 1 just in time to start FFIV PR, then I'll have to play Life is Strange: True Colors followed by Tales of Arise, so you might have finished this by the time I can resume it

Really struggling with the boss helio/Gladys. I'll be going on my fourth Try at this point and as I'm sure you can imagine, each one takes a good while so it kind of burns me out. I've done my best to put Gladys to sleep but it barely works. 1 out of every 15 times I'd say it works. Any pointers on why that would be. Secondly, Any tips on this battle? I'd love to move past it. Thank you in advance.

Hmm, that seems a bit weird, @NintendoByNature ..... It shouldn't be too difficult to do put him to sleep! What levels are your team & what jobs/ sub-jobs? Did you do the various side-quests earlier?
It seems you have checked a guide already, so I'm not sure what's going wrong particularly yet
