Endurance Run: Persona 4 - Part 89

100Internet $ on the fact they will fight the boss without enough royal jelly and get pwnd

Where are the whiners who kept capsulating Tentarafoo now??  I believe the evidence suggests that letting them play their own way wins this time.

I can't wait for the boss battle.  The only heads up I can give is don't let the boss rebuild its first form!  Lay down the pain when you notice it rebuilding and it will break the process.  Otherwise, the fight really drags on and consumes many of your items.

I haven't heard that Kokamo song in forever.  Nice one Vinny, memories of this old Muppets tape I used to watch as a kid.

a new low.  You guys are making voices for the out of battle monsters.

I think Tentarafoo is actually a good skill, but don't just use it in every battle. It would have worked good on the tank, they tend to be weak to that. You don't need anymore grinding, just go straight through the door and fight the boss, you should be fine. Remember that you still have a lot of items (healing, SP and damage) that you never used. 

Next Endurance Run candidate: Postal 2

Loved the personality you made up for the ghost-thing guarding the chest!

A suggestion for you guys: if you only have two support skills for the fight, make sure you have Tarunda (lower attack) and Rakunda (lower defense).  And maybe for a fun bonus, have Chie use Tarukaja on Charlie, then hit the boss with a Mind Charge + Agidyne.

Mind Charge actually does 2.5 times normal damage; the tooltip just doesn't say it.  Also, the MC effect will stay with you until you cast a damaging spell, which means you can MC and then heal the next turn if you need to without losing the effect. (I'm pretty sure.)

So Jeff, Vinny... genuine question here.

If you dislike Yosuke so much, why have him? You can easily get some wind spells going on a Persona and take that role over for him. Kanji, were he anywhere near being leveled to the point of usefulness at this point, would help a LOT on Shadow Mitsuo. Mostly because Kill Shot is fantastic. You really do want Mediarama for the boss fight because Shadow Mitsuo is PROBABLY the second/third hardest boss in the whole game. Right behind the boss at the 'normal' ending path and the one at the 'true' ending path. Mitsuo is a BEAST, guys.

I wish you luck. And that you won't have to repeat the week because that would just be tragic.

A great episode and I hope you go to fight the big boss soon because I really want to see what this next person's evil side looks like.

go investigation team!

phew made it to that save point! keep it up guys! WE ARE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY!

It's kinda funny.  When the endurance run started a while ago the grinding episodes almost seemed to drag on.  However, ever since you guys had that little streak of wiping out I am constantly on edge thinking you guys are going to wipe out whenever anything new appears...or the babies.  The babies have traumatized me.

Dang them i have that song stuck in my head now

I love how they're making fun of the people who were completely acting like assholes in the comments yesterday.

Bermuda mahama , Cooome on pretty mama. Mabufu and zio, Baaaaby why don't we go

Wow, I'm so glad that you guys suggesting Tentarafoo. It's sooooo useful!

Actually, that was sarcasm. You people need to shut the hell up.

PAZUZU!!!!

futurama anyone?

Tentarafoo is indeed garbage. But use them if you see it fitting.

Best weapon in RPG is and will always be high Level. Ideally, always level up until your and your cohorts level is 10 level higher than the strongest shadow (Scarlet Turret has Level 46, so grind until level 56). Charlie should actually already have all Heavy elemental spells in this dungeon with the corresponding boost. With that, the shadows have smaller stature, so it is easier to hit them from behind and gain advantage, then just cast the heavy spells, with 100 - 200 ish damage,easy. Screw status ailments , apart from Fear + Ghastly Wail.

You guys should really try getting Yukiko to 43 or switch in Teddie for Chie before fighting the boss, because you are definitely going to need someone with Mediarama for Mitsuo.

They probably should bring in Teddie anyway since they could use 2 healers.  Yosuke at this point won't be that helpful.  Chie at least has no weakness and can buff up Charlie.

As mentioned before, Tentarafoo is only truly useful against strong enemies that lack a weakness. For example that Scarlet Turret you fought would have been the perfect opportunity to use it, as it would had a near 100% chance to hit, and it would have wasted it's turns either killing off other enemies or doing nothing. In those situations skills like Tentarafoo are immensely helpful. Against enemies that have easily exploitable weaknesses however it still has a low probability of working, so unless you have an ability to raise the chance of inflicting status effects it's usually not worth using.

Don't dismiss the skill just because it's not working against every enemy. Just like any other skill in the game, they're only effective if used under the right circumstances.

@endaround: 2 primary healers is really overkill, especially since Charlie has access to healing spells as well.

@RampageEndsHere:  I'm sorry, but that's really terrible advice. Leveling up that much is completely unnecessary in this game if you fight strategically, not to mention it would take forever and would be tedious as all hell to watch. There's absolutely no reason whatsoever to level up to the point where everything is immensely lower level than you just to proceed with the game.

Nice job on getting to the save point. Can't wait to see you guys fight the boss in the next episdoe(Mitsuo can be a real SOB).

Lol you guys are awesome for keeping this endurance run going.

So first they fought Hulk Hogan look a likes, this time they fought Jushin Liger look a likes, so i guess the next dungeon contains some sort of mexican wrestler look a like.

Don't get discouraged by the crappy tentarafoo run you had there.  Babies don't seem to be good for it.  That tank fight you had though, would have been a lot smoother with tentarafoo.  Tanks are easily confused and then usually attack their own party and do massive damage (great fun to watch).

In short, confusion against tanks and knights = awesome.

Did they pick up the Orb of Darkness? I don't know because the last video keeps ending for me about halfway through.

damn, why does tentarafoo suck so much for them? I've never had a miss rate that bad when playing.

Anyways I hope they make it to the boss tomorrow, it's a really good one.

Leela: "Professor, this ship is capable of going 99% lightspeed. Why, then, are we going 30 miles an hour?"

Proffesor Farnsworth: "Because we are in a hurry, damnit!"
