Final journey sounds completely useless

[Zachshock]

heals me completely but I die anyways like wtf?!

The duration of it used to be long enough for you to be able to have it be active during a boss fight. They changed a lot since it first started. But trust me, it's extremely powerful

[Felial]

You're not suppose to use it for exploration. You use it in a boss fight to hopefully kill them before they kill you.

Killing the boss before Final Journey runs out of time will negate the death timer that was on you. It's a buff to use only on bosses hence the Blood Code name Queen Slayer. It also not just heal you completely it buffs all your stats for around 50% ish multiplier.

it's a last resort option against boss battles or when you're close enough to a mistle to the point it does not matter. it's what we call a situational skill.

Final Journey is pretty much "that technique that my old master taught me but warned me to not use because it would kill me, but I have no choice, my enemy is too strong!"

The goal of Final Journey isn't just to heal yourself. It buffs your stats(so, your damage) and gives you fast dash. Also, the timer(unless it has been nerfed since then) is pretty long with 3 minutes and 4 1/2 minutes with Gift Extension.

This gift is meant to be used against a boss(and is pretty amazing for that), not really to explore a zone.

The recent patch nerfed the duration from 3 minutes to 1 minute (1 min 30 seconds with gift extension).

well sounds useless to me I doubt I could kill a boss in a minute

[Zachshock]

Does the 1 hp atlas skill at least negate the negative?

It's a last resort gift when you are out of healing but about to finish the boss, it's pretty overpowered even after the nerf since an AI/Coop partner can just revive you.

With the right setups, you can drop bosses before they have a chance to do much anything at all, long before this expires.

Some silly noggin put a distress beacon up that i joined, thinking I was going to help them defeat a boss, only to have them use like 6 buffs at the start of the battle (including this one, and running in there and eliminating it before it even got a single hit off either of us.. Then they danced and waved, and i poofed....

no it doesn't, nothing can except when either you kill a boss or rest a mistle but imagine this, when you kill the boss in many game (especially JRPG), the boss would change form or revive for round two and stronger than before but now it's you instead. That is Final Journey effects:
-Complete heal
-Increase damage
-Enable Quick dodge on all weapons regardless of the weight

The Final Journey nerf also the Quick mobility. It only increases mobility stage by 1 now. You can still reach quick if your setup is at normal mobility before the buff.

This buff does not disperse you, so unless you're going solo, it's not really a problem.


If you don't like this skill, then simply don't use it. It's just one of the things like many others that when utilized right, can be a boon, but if used inappropriately is worthless.
