Duet of Rime

I finally beat this optional quest....feels like I just beat the game. Anyone have the same experience with this fun quest... (sarcasm added)

When I captured a Legiana in MHS2, I named it Karen.

I think this is the only mission whenever I go help I’ll seriously consider earplugs :)

Earplugs and ice resistance.

Or you can invest in evasion skills and just evade all roars. That's also an option if you can't fit in Earplugs. We even have a mantle for it, if you literally have no space for more decorations.

Then I have to think.

Earplug decorations are crazy "expensive" I just use earplug charm since offensive decorations are cheap.

Yeah. That's why I was suggesting it. The charm slot is also wasted if you slot in comfort skills in there. There are way better options like Agitator, Critical Eye or even Attack Boost. That's my take, though. The charm slot is a good way to get any skill at a reasonable high (or max) level, and it works for Earplugs due to how costly it is to slot it in (and have any kind of return).

Really makes me wonder why the level is so high (max 5) while there are, like, 2 breakpoints. I wish it was a % reduction of "roar stun" animation instead of the current system, with the max level giving you full immunity.

I get it but those take up 1 slot or can be bundled with other effects in higher gems.

I agree that earplugs is a weird all or nothing deal and kind of only worth it at max and that's why I use the charm for it, if I can squeeze in extra offensive gems else where they'll still help me even if its one or two. Too bad maxing it out is at the literal end of the game requiring AT Velkana.
