Anybody else agree with me, or am I alone in this? I'm at the start of chapter 9 now, amd this is the second or third time that I can't progress because 'my kingdom needs to be upgraded'. This really, really takes me out of it. Maybe I'm overlooking something simple, but as far as I understand, I'm obligated once again to grind the extremely boring side quests, collect a shit ton of guilders and collect a couple more citizens (wich are the least annoying sidequest imo, because the reward feels worth it) 🫂
Why does it take me out of it so much? "The world is in chaos, and we need to act quickly!", is what my companions keep telling me. Yet I'm all over the world collecting, fighting, listening, and solving, all the while the enemy is just patiently waiting? Shut up Bracken! I love you, but just make me the sword and let's punch this baddie in the nose please 😫
I really wanted to love this game, because WotWW is seriously one of my favourite games ever. Who doesn't want to be part of a Ghibli movie? ♥️
Anyway, sorry for my rant. Just curious if I'm alone in this, and if I'm maybe overlooking something obvious that will ease the grind significantly. Thanks y'all 🤙🏻
I’m afraid I’ve stumbled upon a game breaking bug - I went to Goldpaw to update a quest and the town is completely empty. Not a single NPC in sight. So I can’t turn in my quest or continue any others…I reloaded the game, went back to an earlier save, restarted my console, etc etc….anyone encounter this before? Am I screwed?
I want to beat the game but I was getting the bare minimum of citezens that I needed but the game makes me go back for the 100 and that means getting... EVERY SINGLE ONE! And I am not wasting my time with this because the side quests suck and I don't even know where most of them are outside of the main kingdoms. Yeah I'm not gonna ever beat this game I'm not wasting my time!
Where can I find hush-be-gones? The game says Chandlery but I can’t find it. Please help!
Hey! I just beat the witch… question is, what do you guys think is the fun in the aftergame? I’m thinking of moving on, after a nice time. But maybe there’s something I don’t see
I know you can somehow double the amount of your "last obtained item". I think it's by using up an item that you only had one of in your inventory during a battle. Then you have to flee??? And then die the next fight??? I never fully understood it tbh.
Also you can sell items and then get them back somehow by dying and reloading, but you keep the money you got from selling them?
Speedrunners use this with the Great Sage's Secrets you get from Solomon at the Temple Trials. I've seen it on a speedrun by Palmer at RPG Limit Break 2018. They kinda explain it, but my brain can't fully grasp all aspects of it 😅 And they use it kinda speedrun-specific, just at certain points in the run. But I as a casual player have no problem playing slow and doing it differently.
Anyone here who knows this glitch well and can explain it so that even I can fully understand it 100%? 😁 Also interested to know if it only works for certain ports, since I'll start replaying NNK1 on the Nintendo Switch tonight.
Since I can't find a proper list on the internet – does anyone have any information about the DLC side quests? Every list I found only goes up to quest 175, but I've already unlocked quests 176 to 188, although quest 187 is missing. Are there even more quests, or is that it?
Howdy. It's been a while since I posted anything. I stopped playing for a while, and only now I'm back.
I'm stuck in the city of armored pigs. I even struggle against common enemies.
Currently, the protagonists are at level 20 to 30.
What level should I be to get past this?"
So I incorrectly read the Robinson island bounty as russet island so I was up around there and ran into an encounter. Happened to have a planet sign familiar, an Acee. I unfortunately saw it just as I… well died as I’m super under leveled for this area. I’ve played probably around 5 playthroughs of the game In total and have never seen one. I definitely could have run into one before but never noticed. Kinda cool!
His Attack is 28. Yet when I hit enemies it only does 1-4 damage. Explain?
When i find him ima strangle him
The story is simple and I think it goes on more than it should.
The chance of capture even with the bonus is very low, makes you waste many hours unnecessarily.
I don't know why voice acting only happens sometimes, the rest is just reading subtitles.
Swain is unnecessary, his pistol is only good for opening green chests.
The Shadar battle is very easy in the third part, just stay in the extreme corners and you don't take damage, Cassiopeia is not very challenging, The last Boss keeps repeating the strongest attack many times, it gets boring and repetitive.
When I went to attack, the orbs kept attacking and I couldn't undo the command, only after I was thrown far away was I able to continue fighting.
You release an attack if someone does a combat animation your attack is interrupted and even without being released it uses energy, this is annoying because it happens a lot.
The game is long, it takes a while to get to the end and for what? Watch two cutscenes that are too short.
Some creatures take too long to level up, when you manage to get strong enough the game becomes too easy.
Friend told me about the game i think the game took around 40 hour to beat but how about you
title really says it all
I've heard there's story differences and combat differences but idk if there's enough differences in total for it to be too similar to "replay"
I don't know what the last three items are. And can you teleport between every 10 or 20 floors between the dreamer maze. And if so how? Do you have to beat the first 40 floors, do a sidequest or what?
So I just beat the dark djin and balled my eyes out and all that good stuff but I was wondering if it'll be possible to return to his castle? I'm back in ding dong dell and all but before I save I just want make sure I'll be able to go back cus there was a staircase I activated after touching one of those crystals🔮 but I didn't look for it before beating shadar and don't wanna miss out on anything!! Thanks in advance!!
The King's Trial ruleset is as follows:
If you have the DLC then that also includes:

What's the best way to get overpowered gear after you beat the game in the Prince edition to do the post game stuff? Last time I played the regular ps4 edition a few years ago. With this being the best way to get old gear. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=G7ojRYIJQEo what's the bestbmethod to get stronger year now in the prince edition with the new dungeons and areas added?
Blackhart, level 110. Faraway Forest Cave, Lv. 40. You need to beat him on hard difficulty to earn the Plumbing the Depths trophy (silver). Blackhart is able to summon the other bosses – Jelly Queen (Rotwobbler) lvl.102, Golem (Necryptolis) lvl. 102 and simultaneously flood you (while being airborne) with Dark magic projectiles. Distance is key.
-if you rush through the Dreamer's Maze and use the Statues (spend orbs), it's possible to fight Blackhart on Danger Level 1, thus making this battle easier,
-I suggest picking Tani as your main character for this battle,
-use the Light magic (Dark magic will work too) – bring Evan (and/or Leander) and equip Zeta weapons (if you have them),
-boss is weak to both Freeze and Poison statuses (this is important) – you can poison his Golem summon too – be sure to arm your teammates with Poison based weapons,
-if you keep the distance, Blackhart won't be able to reach you – except for his forward charge you need to timely dodge,
-every enemy in this fight is susceptible to lower defense debuffs,
-Unbreakable Necklaces will help a lot and prevent getting OHKO'd,
-Ring of Rancor for more status chance,
-Blackhart's second summon is dangerous, especially his OHKO potential attack – you can interrupt Necryptolis's AoE deadly attack with a powerful spell (e.g. Tani's Spark Shower) or simply run away (preferred and less risky),
-dragon type, so it's recommended to set max damage to dragons and level up the Untouchability (to prolong the invincibility frames) in the Tactic Tweaker. For resistances I suggest the Dark magic one,
-try to level up before the fight (I recommend at least level 99), Blackhart is not to be underestimated.
Best of luck!
Hope you like it 😺
I recently tried out Ni No Kuni remastered since it has been on my bucket list for years.
Initially I really liked the game with its nice cutscenes, dubbing and animated video cutscenes. However, it seems like dubbing gets reduced a lot after the first few chapters and same goes for videos. At this point I am almost entirely clicking through text boxes only which is a big disappointment and shows the game is made to grab someone fast but then they reduced the budget...
Also I feel like once you hit the middle of the game, you pretty much have seen all there is of the world and I expected the story to conclude soon just that I actually checked a guide for something now and noticed I am ONLY in the middle and the game is like 40 hours long. Jesus... Talk about games being too long and dragging on for too much nowadays.
Gameplay is kinda fun but repetitive. Also the fact that the mobs go back to level 1 when they evolve is just pointless and makes it sometimes hard to progress like when you just evolved one and there is a boss battle a cutscene later and you might have low level mobs. Also the healing system is kinda dumb where enemies can still hurt you and the length it takes to heal usually means its wasted anyway since by the time you are done using spell/item you already lost the same amount of health.
The worldmap is ok but there isnt really much to see or explore but then again it is one of "these" worldmaps where you are just walking on a overworld map. Sidequests are also mostly repetitive and boring like all these "fix peoples heart" quests. But I do admit some were a bit more interesting but they are far in between of grind work. Speaking of grind, actually its not as bad as with our JRPGs but might still need grinding depending on difficulty and mob evolution.
Lastly the difficulty is all over the place and its hard to see where are certain level areas but even bosses. Some I beaten without any challenge whatsoever and others almost kill my entire team in two hits with poison and dark spells. (Yeah, damn you Xulans Nightmare...)
So yeah, currently reached the Xulan plot point and I have already been dragging these past 5 hours and might just put the game down since I feel like Im done. Just doesnt have enough to captivate me any longer and seeing how there are still at least 15 hours ahead of me even without sidequests, then I guess I will just spend time playing something I enjoy more. I would have liked to see the story concluded but yeah, guess its not gonna happen.
Thought I put this here. Also because its really rare I spent so much time on a game just to then put it down and not finish it. This happens really rarely.
What are they? Since they can help out a lot. Are they just a single gravity higgledie with three higgledies with the me too, me too skill. Or two higgledies with the Higgledy Sirrah ability and two me too, me too skills? Since this is too help with some post game stuff.
When you research everything for a particular building in Evermore. Like with the hubble-bubblery is there any reason to keep people in that building or can you move them somewhere else to work on? Outside of ones where you need certain people or at least one person working at a building to have it stay up like with the general store or the tasty cookshop.
I'd love a copy of the OST from Ni No Kuni 1 on Vinyl, but im getting mixed results on if it exists or not. Has it ever been sold/produced? Im not too worried on Price, I'd just really love to add it to my collection if possible. Any help is appreciated :)
I've been playing Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch on Switch recently, and I just beat the rat in the well of the cat city (I'm playing the Japanese version so I don't know the names of places or characters, sorry!). After receiving the new wand and leaving the castle, the game was playing a song other than the normal "Ding Dong Dell" theme, and it sounded so good, but I can't find it anywhere!
Does anybody know if there's some kind of victory theme that plays after battles or something like that?
So i’m playing through Ni No Kuni:Wrath of the White Witch on Switch and i’ve just beaten the boss in Golden Grove and I can’t restore the Spring of Life because I used up all my MP on the fight, I also don’t have any items at all…what do I do?
Hi all,
Just come back to this game after going off it for a few years. I'm at the part of the game where you've just got swaine and are heading across the sea (you have a boss battle with shadar when your ship gets too close to the next town). But I have some questions on how to approach the game.
Thanks.
