Necropolis of Nostalgia! (Spoilers...) Question I have?

[BlueDragonXD]

See this map here? https://goo.gl/ZKG4Ff

Well is it only really important that I visit the Dark Green (Special Rooms?)
I don't care about finding rewards I can get all over the game? Do only the dark green
special rooms contain new or really good rewards?

The other chest rooms are more or less random? Or do they contain special rewards as well? Basically should I aim to go to all Treasure rooms no matter what? Or only dark green?

Thanks...

Oh and so far I like how save spots are scattered thoughout the dungeon I hope that keeps up.

Update
The answer is yes you need to go to all the Dark Green Spots if you want possible exclusive items. The light green are mainly gels and such from what I can tell in the information given.

Dunno didnt check map You using since it ain't needed each floor shows You entry to next lvl. But if You're asking if there are treasures.Yes there are 2 fell arms for patty n flynn. some weapons etc. So it's worth checking extra rooms.

If you want specific details on what rooms contain what, I've ripped the exact data over here: http://hyouta.com/vesperia/?version=pc&locale=eng&compare=2&section=necropolis

Dark green rooms only, though at least two of the dark green rooms on that map are actually light green rooms.

Actually all the dark green rooms will turn into light green rooms if you already recieved the item from the dlc or picked it up from the room already.

It was my first run through so DLC items may have accounted for that but I was fairly sure I still received attachments that I already had from the DLC from see of the rooms.

Come to think of it there where issues with some of the available paths not matching up as well.

I thought so too but its actually only 2 or 3 items that you should already have from the dlc. The most notorious one I thought I had already but didn't (made me go back to get them again) was Karol's Overdrive attachment. He has 2 more big versions that has a very similar naming scheme but actually 2 different items. Big Overdrive Kid and Super Overdrive kid.

Well normally you would like to get the 2 Fell arms first, (first 2 layers).
I usually ignore the rooms with the default items. As it already is very long to get to the special items, youll eventually get bored of the repetition. But afaik you can always get them. Necropolis is a damn huge place and takes around 4-8h to finish (depends on your strength)

Yeah the dungeon is a love/hate situation. I'm on the second last floor. Now... very repetative. I'm play it on HARD and refuse to lower or raise the difficulty. Playing on hard so far it's easy even the bosses but I'm level 200. However... I think the final floor/boss will be difficult even at level 200 on hard. But it depends on how many skills and what equipment you have. As well as your skill as a player.

But repetative is an understatement. I kind of enjoy it though. And it's very original how you stay in battle the entire time. You cant even run from the battles either as it cancels the entire floor progress if you run. lol So your really bored you can put it on easy and blow though it. But I want challenge. But Unknown is to much challenge for my skills. lol So I'm playing on hard only. I had 99 of all the healing items and I ran out of some of them after completing the 3rd floor. That is how many battles I went though. Talking about 200 or so battles. And taken me at least three hours so far. I still have 2-3 hours to go.

[coffeediction]

I went there with < lvl 100 on normal for fel arms and with 100~ next floor on hard, then gave up due to boredom. But I also dont have NG+ yet on this save, so its far more challenging atm as with it (Im trying to learn all the skills I can get my hands on, additionally all costumes).
Farming grade is boring too so im doing LoM over and over for grade, gives mats and good grade.
But yeah I dont know what they thought about NoN, its a good idea but 3 floors would be enough or break repetition ffs.
Reminds me of SO3, the tower.. although there you have 100+ floors and repetition is a little less. Also you could skip some.

[BlueDragonXD]

So Coffeediction and anyone else who cares.... I just beat.... this dungeon. I agree three floors would have been perfect! And around level 100 on hard would be nearly impossible on the last two floors and last two bosses. On normal you may make it to Spiral Draco. The final boss and hardest boss in the game I think. Hardest for me at least.

I was level 200 with New Game Plus features unlocked. With loot from Final Dungeon, and all three EX dungeons, all side quests completed, decent gamer skills at this game but I'm far from a pro! But I'm above average Tales player that's all I can say. All of that... and Spiral Draco on HARD difficulty was the hardest thing I have accomplished in all of Tales of Vesperia. I beat Duke 3rd Form, Traitor to Heaven both on Hard and never lost a party member.

Spiral Draco got me down to one party member alive once or twice and killed an average of 2-3 party members per minute and took about 20 minutes to beat! I went into the battle with 8 overlimit stocks.... and used about 5+ Limit Bottles and with the Overlimit gauge New Game Plus option I was popping off level 1-4 over limits nearly half the fight non-stop... Used several Mystic arts and tons of burst arts. I had nearly if all skills learnt and of course I disabled the skills that do more harm than good. All of this and it was extremely hard. On normal difficulty with the setup I had it would have been no problem. On unknown with my skills it would have been impossible and I mean that! No way I take down this boss on Unknown....

And if you don't already know Spiral Draco disables your Fell Arms... Or at least the powered up forms. Meaning either way unless your a pro this fight is going to be very difficult on Hard or higher. And if your 1st playthough only.... Even on Easy/Normal it may be near impossible. Normal for sure it would be tough! One reason 1st playthough would be very hard is your not likly going to be level 200 when you face him without signifiant grinding... lol And your also not likely going to have as many side quest rewards etc. And without cheating you won't have grade unlocks.

So yeah even END game with pretty much best loot and proper A.I setup and Artes bound to hotkeys etc.... It was a fight to win! I still won 1st try on Hard! But I almost lost like 4-5 times were I was nearly down to 1-2 chars alive. And I used many limit bottles and a few hourglasses to boot.

P.S I was following a very good guide. And the guide writer said that Duke 3rd Form was debateable to be stronger? I faught Duke 3rd form after Spiral Draco because of that comment in the guide. And because Fell Arms don't work anyhow vs Spiral Draco so pointless to do Duke first I thought.... But I should have done Duke 3rd form first even if it was for the few skills I could pickup from the powered up Fell Arms. But I assumed Duke was stronger based on the guide but on Hard difficulty I beat Duke 3rd form without losing a single party member once.
