Perpetua 08: The Flames of Burzin Pt. 4

Perpetua 08: The Flames of Burzin Pt. 4

Why has Burzin been burning? All the clues point back to one place: Lady Teribald's House of Chance. If they're going to solve this mystery—and find out if it's connected to the greater afflictions of the continent—the investigation team must find their way past the gambling hall's many distractions and to Teribald's office in search of answers. And then there will simply be the matter of a final confrontation…

This week on Perpetua: The Flames of Burzin Pt. 4

Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.02] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Kalsi's Lantern [NMKLN]

Typical Traits: Glowing, Inconspicuous, Magical

Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 6, WLP 10

Attacks: Flicker Shot

Special Abilities: Burn Out

In-Game Description: Paper lamps filled with the lively fire of a forgotten god.

Also known as "Mysterious Lanterns" before you get deep into the main quest in Burzin, these are super easy to grind against . Sure, Burn Out means that your whole party takes 10 damage every time you kill one, but that's still way less damage than you'd potentially get in a longer fight against some other low level monsters.

Starter Tip: They're one of the only enemies that are straight up WEAK to regular physical damage! Kind of obvious, but this IS labeled "starter tip" after all.

Mr. Crumb [NMCRM]

Traits: Loyal, Gullible

Stats: DEX 10, INS 8, MIG 6, WLP 8

Attacks: Jab, Revolver Blast, Quickshot (Reaction),

Special Abilities: Elemental Bullet, Deadeye

In-Game Description: Lady Teribald's loyal henchman. A crackshot with his elemental revolver.

Mr. Crumb and Mr. Crust (below) are obviously designed to complement one another. Crust is the close up combatant, which makes Crumb the long ranged sniper. (Can you be a sniper if you just have a revolver?) That said, if you do get into his face, his counterattacks will make you pay for it… unless you've got a high defense score! My advice: Send Antistrophe in there and count on his ability to avoid incoming damage!

Starter Tip: Don't worry too much about his Elemental Bullet attack. It's so unlikely that the magical damage he happens to hit is going to be important to you. But it might be worth grabbing his gun after the fight before you leave the scene and it despawns!

Mr. Crust [NMCRU]

Traits: Cocky, Brutal, Great Smile

Stats: DEX 8, INS 6, MIG 12, WLP 6

Attacks: Wide Swing, Croupier's Rake

Special Abilities: Bodyguard (Reaction), Improved Defenses, Improved HP

In-Game Description: Lady Teribald's personal bodyguard. He's died for her before.

Crust is the designed to look like the heavy hitter in the fight, but mostly he's the "hard to hit"-er. He's got better physical defense than an Embear and the same magical defense as a Flarie, so if you get a stroke of bad luck, you might end up missing him a bunch. But, because of his bodyguard ability, you're gonna just have to power through, because it's not like you can ignore him!

Starter Tip: If you give him the Slow status effect, it drops his defense score by 2, which makes this fight so much easier!

Kalsi, Lantern's Flame [NMKLF]

Traits: Furious, Bright, Lonely

Stats: DEX 6, INS 6, MIG 10, WLP 10

Attacks: Flaming Smash, Flameburst

Special Abilities: Lantern's Light, Lantern's Heat, Flying

In-Game Description: Forgotten God who once called Burzin his home. Led astray.

Okay, the way I beat this fight means I only briefly had to contend with Kalsi directly. But if you try to fight him straight up, it's gonna be tough! He's a Champion class enemy, so he's got a TON of HP, and not only is he immune to Fire and Poison, but by default he has no elemental weaknesses, and he's flying, so you can't melee attack him. Yowch! Talk about a GOD.

Starter Tip: The best way to beat Kalsi is to not have to fight him directly in the first place! The "Objective" move is SO powerful in this game, I wish more Roleplaying Games had something like it!

Lady Teribald [NMLTB]

Traits: ???

Stats: DEX ??, INS ??, MIG ??, WLP ??

Attacks: ???

Special Abilities: Mysterious Necklace

In-Game Description: Drawn into a tragic fate by an alluring, otherworldly power.

Teribald sucks so bad! I hate her so much, and what's worse is I can't figure out how to ACTUALLY FIGHT HER. Every time I run the fight, I have to either take too long to beat Crust and Crumb (so Kalsi emerges, and the fight is with him instead) OR I win via Objective and the fight with her never happens! If I could take Crust and Crumb out quicker, maybe I could get to go against her? Does anyone know if she has any unique loot?

Starter Tip: No idea!
