Forest of Pain

How do you get the combos? you have to bring one of your allys into it, that is an issue for me, I give them a lvl 1 store bought weapon and set them to healing AND THEY STILL ATTACK EVERYTHING, jerks kill everything within a couple freaking hits and it's♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥me off. I need to get a 40 hit combo for this and with guns I can eaisly, IF I didnt' have to bright any of these ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ in with me.

I put them on tenacity, with a LEVEL ONE weapon they do over 600 damage on lower levels they kill everything within 4-5 hits, I dont' have the time to gun them down 40 times with that crap, setting them to heal and they decide instead of healing they'll use special moves, set them to rage and they use same special moves, set them free will and THEY USE THE SAME SPECIAL MOVES.

How, I can't get them a weapon any weaker than the level 1 store bought garbage I made them switch to. What do I do? I've had everyone learn every scroll so they have offensive magic and healing magic ALL of them, and they all have their stupid arts that they won't stop using on top of that. No matter what I set them on they still bloody attack. For some reason even though Haseo cannonly went through this forest before SOLO he refuses to do it now, if he would just tell them all to ♥♥♥♥ off, and would let me go in solo this wouldn't be an issue at all.

Also it doesn't help that there's a stupid auto-aim that won't ♥♥♥♥ off too. if somthing gets within 50 feet of my character he switches who he shoots at because the system decides why bother with a combo you obviously need when there's this creature that can attack you within the next like 20 seconds, who can do ZERO damnage to you, let's focus on that and when you switch focus let's just keep putting it back on this instead HAHA you cant' get a combo.

The game is trolling me, how do I kick it in the balls and make it do what I want it to do. I am losing my damn mind.

the trick is to have allies who don't really fight. such as atoli or shino.

I've had everyone learn all the possible scrolls including those for the elemental attacks wouldn't they just wreck everything with that crap instead?

nope. becuase if you turn off skills they can't do anything but whack them with their staff. which does laughable damage.

or if you wan't them to continue using skills set both to life.

wait... how do you turn off skills? setting people to life doesn't stop them from using their skills for me, so what are you doing that turns them outright off?

You don't need those area objectives. All they do is give a few healing items at the boss fight.

To turn off skills select strategy "tenacity".

[ShinkuTear]

It can help to use your guns for the combo checks, since enemies get lifted into the air out of the range of normal swings, and you only do 1 damage. Also helps to bring a team like Atoli and Shino for the first 30~40 floors, when enemies are frail, and keep them on heal duty, which should keep them from using attack spells.

Even then, there are only 2 objectives worth doing before Floor 51, to get the Pure Medalion and the Fairy Queen Orb.

Oh yeah, those are important I forgot about that.

But which floors are those?

[ShinkuTear]

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps4/211383-hack-gu-last-recode/faqs/53390 has all of the Forest of Pain objective rewards. The Medal is, to my mistake, actually from a Boss you kill part way, and the Orb is from 36~39, 15 Skill Triggers.

Also, supposedly Double Trigger counts as a Skill Trigger for the objectives.

Every floor set starting with 51 actually has unique items available, like the customize mats for the Doppleganger weapons, and another Dual Gun.

New Question about this place for you smart people.
If I clear a part of the forest, like 51-54 which gives you the guns, can I go back and reclear that section and get the rewards all over again. I ask because there's a few materials that are only available in the forest of pain as a reward for beating a section, can I just go in and beat that section over and over to get more of them or is it 1 and done?

[ShinkuTear]

That I know of: All Forest of Pain objective rewards are infinite. You could go and get 99 of each Nil if you wanted.

[darkmikasonfire]

thhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnk you.

The real question here is: how the ♥♥♥♥ did Tabby get to level 50 by herself?

She couldn't even kill the chicken egg monsters by herself before she quit the game wtf

probably just wandered around. Haseo pretty much did the same solo himself originally.

Haseo was killing the monsters and he was level 130 or something.

Tabby is level 118.

Besides you need to kill the bosses to progress.
