85% completion rate in the MAD encyclopedia?

[Luffy III]

After doing some looking up, it seems that if you have the DLC enabled, the MAD encyclopedia says 85% instead of 100%, is that a glitch?

Does this mean there are hidden monsters that are very tough that can only be accessed on advanced mode only? I know its crazy, but I would like a master save file with the full 100% MAD encyclopedia completed (with the DLC about some weird war or such, all entries that has the ????? filled... lol) that way I can analyse how tough and unforgiving this can be, currently in delay from playing this game!

Edit: if the Idol war DLC is disabled, the MAD encyclopedia completion rate goes back to 100%! This is weird!

If you have a good answer it would be great! Thanks!

It could be a bug but this happens on PS4 as well.

I know you'd rather see for yourself, but the final boss of South Plains has 44,375,000 HP for reference, with Shampuru adds with 138,888 HP and Shampuru Loner adds with 1,249,998 HP

And yes, you require Advanced Difficulty to access the really tough bosses. You also need Advanced difficulty to create and loot the ultimate Equipment (better than the DLC equips) and the ultimate Amps. The difficulty determines how much post-game content you can access and the easiest difficulty provides next to nothing after finishing the story.

Thanks for the reply. Even though the board is pretty empty... lol

They should have adjusted the order break mechanic better. Make the battle challenging but not requiring luck. It’s either balance the system to make it fair to the audience or don’t add it all so other players will give up in frustration and delete the game.

Hard to find a master save file with the DLC areas unlock so I can have a test simulation. If anyone has a master DLC file for study it would be great! (As a last resort)

I suppose some MAD dlc designs do look like the ones in Neptune’s... well, time for plan b, training time!

can the difficulty be changed in NG+ to advanced mode ?

[dizzydiana]

in NG+ you pick the difficulty again and can also have many ng+ runs on same save file. for some of the equips it can take various complete runs if you want enough copies to fully equip ur team. If you pick NG+ and want to be able to craft dlc equip u have to pick the option to keep all designs each run or you will lose this option for good. the "missing" MAD are i think from the dlc areas and these open up in post game for the most part.

Oh yeah, that part... Does anyone has a full master file with 100% MAD encyclopedia cleared so I can have a peek of what is there? Its just for experimental purposes only...
