What is your spot to farm lacrima (experience) in late game?

[Baron01]

I about to finish the game so I want to craft few sets and min-max them, for which I need a lot of lacrima. What are you favorite spots to farm lacrima (experience) in late game?

My spot that I currently use is: Strange Melody mission in Rovelion Imperial Theater, Grand Central Theater nexus just before the boss.
You just run down the stairs from the nexus and there are 2 Soulbound Knights, one slightly ahead to the right and the other is below the stairs in the back. These enemies give almost 16k lacrima per kill. When I timed it I could regularly kill both 10 times in about 11 minutes. I got 320k lacrima and additional 140k+ when I extract lacrima from the drops, which I do not need, in the crevice. All in all, you get around 460k experience for 11 minutes farming.

There were some suggestion on Reddit or elsewhere to farm some bosses but those are not worth it as far as I can tell. The succubus boss in late game side mission gives 130k lacrima for first kill but consequent kills only give 60k. This also requires to restart the mission every time, run from human side to demon side of the crevice and load in. The time needed is much more than 2 minutes per kill.

No, you dont. You get experience proportional of how long you stay in the fight and how much damage you deal. Stop spreading BS.

I know how game works, I am not the one asking questions here. The best farm is the boss. You learn to fight and gain XP at the same time. Use your brain a little and stop taking everything literally.

Objectively, the best spot to farm Lacrima in NG 0 is second to last Nexus on the final area, Celestial Tower.

You just turn around and there is a Souldbound Kinght standing next to a chaos stone, you shoot the stone with the Javelin and by the time you run over to it, it will explode and stun the Knight. You do any normal combo (from behind since you do more damage that way) and then execute to kill the Knight while he is still stunned.

With full Bard set it gives you roughly 47k Lacrima and in 1 min you can kill 3 of them by going back and forth. So more than 150k per minute if you count all the rare and unique gear that you can destroy for Lacrima as well.

You are a dimwit here. I asked specific question because I'm done with bosses. I need to farm lacrima, I do not need to learn the bosses. Use your brain a little.

This is the winner, and to make it even better, on your run back to the Nexus you can charged javelin headshot a sitting Behemoth dude for an extra 20k. With Bard and max Lacrima bonus from the stones, I would get ~80k every 20sec.

Where are you getting those lacrima numbers from? The behemot gives around 3.5k lacrima on kill.

-Bard Set
25% Lacrima Gain
- Daphrona SoulStone Upgrades (Lacrima Gain +2.0% or Health Recover Increase +2.0%) x 17 Total upgrades = 34% total lacrima Gain as well

25% + 34% = 59% Extra lacrima from kills.

For what its worth.........I didnt take a single Lacrima upgrade and I DONT HAVE BARD SET EQUIPPED and I'm getting 38087 lacrima on Kill. You probably are getting the 3.5 k number from the GOLD gain which looks like its adding to Lacrima but its not. Lacrima is calculated with a floating number UNDER and AFTER the gold appears.
