Anyone going for 100% completion?
Just wanted to ask if anyone else is going for 100% currently. I just beat Endless Eclipse with Griffith and only need Wyald, Schierke and Serpico. But man, it gets more and more annoying/boring. Especially that Femto fight. Everytime I fight him, I want to sacrifice the entire Omega Force staff to the God Hand. Anyways, how's your road to 100% going? Are you as annoyed with Femto as I am? Feel free to discuss anything about the game.

I am still working on it, but before doing endless eclipse I go for all missions on Berserk mode first (even DLC missions). Because berserk mode is the most fun imo, normal seems kinda... boring

I did, i'm not the only one with this problem. I've got 100% on the story mode, watched all cutscenes/events, and I've finished Endless Eclipse with Guts, Griffith, Casca, Judeau, and Zodd.
That sucks :(

I'm thinking about going through the game again on Berserk difficulty as well. Though I'm gonna have to take a break first because grinding the eclipse kinda bored me. Btw would you recommend the dlc? Is it any good?

My struggle is finally over. Good luck to anyone else going for 100% :)

I actually have a question, trying to fill out my accessory sheet while I clear up the endless eclipse, does the idol of the hawk upgrade? If so what material does it?

The DLC has some fun missions, I just wanted to have the full game. However maybe wait for sale if u don't think it's worth it.

You can upgrade Idol of the Hawk+9 to "Idol of the White Hawk" but only with high tier stones (fire ruby, water aquamarine, wind topaz, earth amber, light crystal, black crystal)

I'm still struggling, not so much with playing the game, but with the random level end crashes that are happening every so often. At least I found out that 5 layers are counted as one level in Endless Eclipse. Still doesn't help much if, for example, you just beat Ganishka and the game crashes. This means you have to do layer 81-95 again.

Anyway, at least the level end crashes are the only factor still stopping me a bit, aside from my stuipidity at times, like not paying attention and missing one of the War Demons on layer 96-100 with Schierke. Means I have to do that entire segment again, hopefully without crashes.

If you are having crash issues, try manually saving the game from the pause menu. If you crash you can just continue from that save instead of starting from the last checkpoint.

Problem with that is, that the crashes are happening at the end of a level (either game or after 5 layers which load in and are handled by the game as a single level) and the Quicksave ends the mission right then and there. I might try it, but on loading the level the Quicksave made from the battle menu will be deleted. So if it crashes after the results screens I'm screwed either way, as the game does not save that state as a level end state.

The most annoying thing about this bug is I can't predict when it will be happening. Yesterday I played 30 layers (i.e. six levels) just fine with Judeau. Then I took a break and came back later and I got the crash after one 5 layer (i.e. one level) game with Judeau, then I tried again to get the last Behelith I forgot with Schierke on layers 81-100 and got the crash on 85, again, after the results screen.

The game seems to crash while trying to load up the menu again.

I certainly would wish that KT would have a better support for their games. Many problems like this just seem to remain unfixed. You also don't see any devs or even support staff on the forums that could relay these problems. There also isn't any Bugs or Technical Problems section on this forum, not even a sticky with a support webpage address. A publisher of the size of KT should be able to scrounge out the money for at least one support staff member that monitors all of the PC published games and relays back problems, especially considering the asking price for their games.

I just need to finish getting all the accessories and my struggle will be complete.

i've been working at it for a while on and off, but i'm in the 100% hunt as well.

I'm glad someone else asked about the idol of the hawk upgrade...I very stupidly got rid of mine before I knew what I was supposed to be doing. If anyone has run into a good spot to find the idols, please let me know! Aside from that upgrade, I have some red ones to complete, but those should come with the eclipse runs.

Got all warhorses and consumable items last night...only about 12 Behelits left, but if my math is right (and they follow the pattern), the rest should also come with the eclipse runs. Haven't tried BERSERK mode bosses yet, but I assume with berserk armor/perma-Femto/perma-Apostle it'll be easy.

Thankfully I've gotten through the 100 levels with Guts, Griffith, Shierke, and Zodd. Wyald, Judeau, Casca, and Serpico are at 80 or higher.

**Anyone have tips for playing Serpico? I find him to be the weakest of the set (Wyald and Casca, imo, are pretty close to him) and struggled very hard in the 81-100 range.

Thanks for the help in advance!

As far as I know Idol of the Hawk is a guaranteed drop from the last mission (Ganishka). As for Serpico, be sure to use his tornado sub-weapon to build your frenzy quickly. When in frenzy you earn your death blow very fast with Serpico. I remember getting at least 3-4 death blows in one frenzy. If you're struggling with staying alive, be sure to equip maxed resurgence on at least one item (they stack so it's even better if you can get two or there items with resurgence) and equip Skull Knight's horse. It's a good idea to not engage enemies outside of frenzy. Just ride your horse around till frenzy charges then attack them.

I'm sure the idol will drop or be in shop somewhere...less worried about that. But I'll definitely start with Ganishka farming :)

I think the major issue with Serpico was indeed the ramp up...once I was getting Max Frenzy I was fine. I had the unicorn on for luck but yeah, skull knight is what I should be running. I'll try and build him with frenzy, maybe some dexterity items. I think I was just trying to ramrod through the levels like I had just done with Zodd, and the two obviously play differently. Thanks for the suggestions!
