【HQ】Floor 40 Discussion Thread, Floor 200【Strategy】
1:Anonymous Adventurer
This thread is for discussing strategies for the Floor 40 boss of HQ, the Manticore, and for the boss floor itself.

Continuing on from the last thread—we, or rather the Association, call it the Manticore, but nobody actually knows whether that thing really IS a Manticore
11:Anonymous Adventurer
>>10
What do you mean?
12:Anonymous Adventurer
>>11
The Manticore we know is not a Manticore.
13:Anonymous Adventurer
>>11
Go read the last thread
The legend says a Manticore's tail is a scorpion's tail
But the one in the dungeon has a snake's tail, that's the thing
And for that matter, a Manticore shouldn't have wings either
14:Anonymous Adventurer
>>13
I love how he says that and then explains it anyway
15:Anonymous Adventurer
>>13
So Earth-made and dungeon-made are different?
16:Anonymous Adventurer
>>15
It's about the name.
We just started calling it a Manticore on our own, but isn't that thing more of a chimera, or something like that?
And that raises the question—how do monster names even get decided?
17:Anonymous Adventurer
Once it turns into a name discussion it's completely off-topic, you know
The "experts" (lol) decide them, don't they
18:Anonymous Adventurer
I'd rather not hear "off-topic" from the guy spamming the thread, though......
There's a monster skill among the special skills, right?
Couldn't that settle it?
19:Anonymous Adventurer
>>18
How are you even supposed to match a name to its monster?
Even the wolves that show up in Aomori—there are white ones, black ones, and greyish ones. Which one's the 【Grey Wolf】? That's the question.
20:Anonymous Adventurer
>>19
The grey one, obviously......
21:Anonymous Adventurer
>>19>>20
lol
22:Anonymous Adventurer
>>19>>20
First time in ages I actually laughed out loud (AA omitted
23:Anonymous Adventurer
>>20
Wrong! There's a grey one among the bosses too!
The color is random!

Sorry to pile off-topic on top of off-topic, but is the Manticore's tail-snake venom available anywhere?
42:Anonymous Adventurer
>>41
No chance.
Your only bet is asking Blue Ocean, I'd say.
The Queen's 【Storage】 could probably keep even nasty poison safe.
43:Anonymous Adventurer
>>41
File a request with the Association and the SDF might fetch it for you?
No telling what that would cost, though (*´Д｀)
44:Anonymous Adventurer
>>43
I hear the SDF hasn't gone to Floor 40 yet in the dungeon where the Manticore appears.
And Blue Ocean only just returned from Floor 40, so their next trip won't be for at least a month, apparently.
Is there any information on someone who might have some already?
45:Anonymous Adventurer
>>41
What do you need it for......
Don't tell me you're......
46:Anonymous Adventurer
>>44
We're not discussing strategy here, but this IS the strategy board, y'know
Nobody's going to have any
I'd say your only option is asking around at universities and such
47:Anonymous Adventurer
>>45
For research, plain and simple.
>>46
I have been asking there too, but it seems they don't have enough left to hand any over.
I'll ask around in another thread as well.
Sorry for the commotion.

100:Anonymous Adventurer
I'm thinking of taking on Floor 40. Is the strategy in the videos Blue Ocean puts out the only mainstream approach these days?
Is clearing it impossible without a 【Wide-Area Shielder】 in the party?
If there are any recommended strategies in this thread, I'd be grateful for your guidance.
101:Anonymous Adventurer
An idiot has arrived for the first time in a while—＼(^o^)／
102:Anonymous Adventurer
Was the guy who came here asking for advice last time actually the real deal?
He crashed and burned so spectacularly that posting in this thread might be a death flag?
103:Anonymous Adventurer
>>100
H-hold on, I ran an ID search on this one and it's 'the spear guy'......
Huh?
104:Anonymous Adventurer
>>103
For real?
Lemme go check the spear board (*´Д｀)
Though it could be an impersonator?
105:Anonymous Adventurer
>>104
I did come from the spear board, that much is certain.
I've made Triple-Rank, so I'm gathering information to aim for Floor 40.
106:Anonymous Adventurer
It really is 'the spear guy'!
Challenging Floor 40 is the same as suicide, ya know?
But he was just talking about making Triple the other day, so Floor 40's still a ways off for him, right?
107:Anonymous Adventurer
>>105
Shubabababa... (the sound of someone sprinting over)
Don't-Do-It-Old-Timer: "Don't try Floor 40."
108:Anonymous Adventurer
>>107
Aren't you just the Don't-Try-Floor-30 Old-Timer lol
108:Anonymous Adventurer
>>100
Leaving aside whether that strategy is right or not, a 【Wide-Area Shielder】 is essential
I mean, you could probably bring a big shield and block it with 【Magic Shield】, but that'd be a bit nerve-wracking
At the very least, a shield job is a must
109:Anonymous Adventurer
Awww, so no shield job in your party, huh
Knight jobs can't learn 【Magic Shield】, right?
Then the Manticore looks out of reach
110:Anonymous Adventurer
>>108>>109
Thank you.
We do have a shield-job holder, so I'll try proposing 【Magic Shield】.
What about our means of attack?
Would 【Javelin】 make for effective hits?
111:Anonymous Adventurer
>>109
That "the Manticore" phrasing of yours bugs me
What are the bosses in the other dungeons like, anyway?
112:Anonymous Adventurer
>>110
Once it comes down, it would count as an effective hit, but it won't be the decisive one
It sticks in my craw, but the right answer is throwing the anchors Blue Ocean used, with 【Javelin】, to freeze it in place
Still, 'the spear guy' can learn 【Javelin】? Must be nice
After that, it's how to lure it down and how to weather the magic attacks—that's the crux
>>111
Osaka: Griffon
Yokohama: Wyvern ×3
Aomori: Garuda
Pick whichever ya like
113:Anonymous Adventurer
>>112
The US military's in Yokohama, you can't get in there lol
What was the Kanagawa Dungeon's boss again?
114:Anonymous Adventurer
Wait, is >>112 an Osaka clan guy?
Wind attribute's no good, they say, and Griffon sounds rough (_;
I've seen the SDF's Wyvern video—the wind-magic barrier deflected their rocket launchers......
Garuda seems weak too, but its entourage is Rock Birds, so melee just turns into a scarecrow
115:Anonymous Adventurer
>>114
Where can you watch that video?
116:Anonymous Adventurer
>>115
At HQ
It has SDF equipment and such on it, so you can't watch it unless you're Triple-Rank, and you can't take it out either
117:Anonymous Adventurer
>>114>>115
Osaka's got an SDF Griffon video too
If you tell them you're going to clear the dungeon there, I reckon they'll show it to ya
118:Anonymous Adventurer
【Sad News】 Nobody Knows the Kanagawa Dungeon's Boss
119:Anonymous Adventurer
>>118
The Kanagawa Dungeon's boss is two Pegasuses.
With Battle Horses as the entourage.
120:Anonymous Adventurer
>>119
Thanks, spear guy m(_ _)m
121:Anonymous Adventurer
Are there any parties right now that could actually break through Floor 40?
122:Anonymous Adventurer
>>121
Level-wise, the Osaka clan leader's party should be all past 40
At HQ, Bear Ossan's lot? But they're all melee there
>>117
Do you know the leader's party composition?
123:Anonymous Adventurer
>>122
The top team's spear and bow, plus a motorcycle
But same as 'the spear guy's' party, they've got a knight but no shield job
124:Anonymous Adventurer
A motorcycle lol
125:Anonymous Adventurer
A motorcycle lololol
126:Anonymous Adventurer
>>124>>125
Just marry each other lol
It's actually pretty handy—fast to move on, and if you've got a riding-type skill, attacking's easy too
Best of all, you don't need a license inside a dungeon
126:Anonymous Adventurer
Licenseless, lol
127:Anonymous Adventurer
Other famous adventurers... there's 'Sword Saint of the North' and 'Red Shadow'... anyone else?
Aren't they both around 35?
128:Anonymous Adventurer
'Sword Saint of the North' is hopeless
His disciples are too weak, and they're all swords, every one of them
Floor 40 demands balance among the party of five
129:Anonymous Adventurer
Couldn't the Association staff manage it?
Iwata's probably past 40 by now
And with Akutsu the 【Bow Knight】, all they'd need is a good shield job to run Blue Ocean's strategy, no?
They've even got 'Her Majesty the Spear King,' stronger than a 【Berserker】—knock it to the ground and it should be doable
130:Anonymous Adventurer
So everywhere's short a shield job and it's hopeless, huh......
Thinking about it that way, Ao-san hit the jackpot with his party
I'd rather have Ao-kyun in my party than 'Sword Saint-chan' (´ω｀)
131:Anonymous Adventurer
Hear me out, it's 【Princess Knight】!
She'd never lose to some orc!
132:Anonymous Adventurer
It's 【Bow Knight】
Eh, close enough
She's an upper-rank knight job—I figure she'd punch an orc to death bare-handed
133:Anonymous Adventurer
But what if there's a hostage?
134:Anonymous Adventurer
Just kill 'em.
Orcs ain't got brains like that lol
