How long does it take to beat the true final dungeon?

[Tsurumi]

Is it boring? If so i would rather there was an opportunity to make a clear save after that bit in crossbell with lloyd, cbf fighting through 20 floors of the same environments over and over

takes lil while my first playthrough i ran through it so didnt take me long but there are some good quarts to pick up for your next playthrough its your call

Is it something you can repeat? I never realized. I just went through it in a couple of hours and watched the ending.

The takeaway: "a couple of hours".

It's quite long if you want to fight everything but I feel like AO final dungeon is way bigger. Also final dungeon in cs2 changes, you can leave it and repeat some parts. Once you're there check phantasmal mirrors. These are unique items which are available only in this Trails game and they add some fun replayability of final dungeon.

Or you can just leave dungeon before finishing it, which will reset it (chests with quartz etc as well).

Oh! I think I remember now. They tell you at the beginning that it can reset or somesuch, but I had so much fun with the story in general that I got to the end of the dungeon pretty quick and couldn't be bothered to go back and farm.

So like I said, I got through it in a couple of hours and watched the ending.

I sure could have used some more top-end quartz for that final boss though. He was scary.

I was the same way on my 1st playthorugh. On my 2nd playthrough I "discovered" phantasmal mirrors (which add some really funny party dialogues like between Rean and Lloyd ), then made a party with Elise Alfin and Towa kicking everybody's a$$ and I realized that this final dungeon, which had annoyed me 1st time I was there, has so much potential for fun gameplay that I ended up loving that place.

I think it's better to make a save at the bottom in case you want to play it later, and then speed through it as fast as possible to see the ending. But I was just fatigued at the prospect of a second Very Definitely Final Dungeon in the game.

It doesn't take all that long. Yes it is kind of boring. Yes the environments are all the same, which is pretty crappy.

If you just want to run through it several times for the loot, make sure to defeat all 4 bosses first (as the last quarter of the dungeon is what you want to farm, that's where the best loot drops afaik), then reset the dungeon and equip to one of your non fighting character the master quartz that reduce the detection radius for monsters on the field. Then just run pass them to loot any chest with interesting loot in those last 4 floors, teleport back at the beginning to go outside and reset it, teleport on top again, do the last 4 floors the same way, rince and repeat.

it'll probably won't take that long before you get whatever you're searching for if yo udo it that way.
