Optional Content (Chapter 8)

[LeoSiegfried]

i'm in chapter 8 Before the Shaft is there a particular order to the optional content for difficulty (some of it just Straight out one shots me 3 Dragons) i can just about do the enemies at the area outside Sand shroud Ruins ( Started Default 1st play-through currently lvl 70)

It might be worth lowering the difficulty to the easiest because the difficulty-based achievements only apply to the difficultly of the final boss fight.

also when handing Side quests in with auto title switcher does SP get wasted when a Side quest gets handed in eg reward is 6000 sp title left to master has 5500 sp does that 500 sp go to the next title or vanish.

Pretty sure extra SP is wasted.

I'd say just beat the game at this point. I want to elaborate but I am afraid I'd spoil you.
Let me say it like this: You won't need to do New Game+ to beat the dragons, for example, but you can still beat them after you "finish" the game.

In fact, some of the side quests you get you can't even do before you finish the game and... There's just a lot more content than you think, basically.

And don't worry, you'll get into a longer stretch of gameplay and thinkyou got locked out of content at that point, but just keep playing and you'll get back to the point where you can do the side content.

It's real confusing, I wish I could be more clear. Basically, don't worry about it, "beat" the game. That's my advice as a first time player who's further into the game than you, so not expert advice... but yeah, it's working out pretty well.

Oh, I am sorry.
Then yeah, let me be more clear.
What confused me for example was I got the Dark Turtlez side quest in Chapter 8 but I found out that you can't even do it until you finish Chapter 8, then Chapter 9, and then get to Zhonecage Floor 4.
So really, doing side quests in Chapter 8 is a waste, just do them after you're done with Chapter 9 which sends you back to Chapter 8 but with everything carried over from 9, and then you can do all side quests properly. Zhonecage is also the best place to level to 200 if you want to.
