Just when Sunraku starts implementing his totally-legit-not-at-all-cheese crystal scorpion destruction strategy, something new shows up.

@rikka@ani.social

The new rare monster is insanely OP! Offense, defense, and regeneration all in one package. It looks like the devs really, REALLY don't want you farming crystal scorpion materials.

In the middle of all this, we get a sneak peak into some SLF lore. The Gold Scorpion uses the moon to regenerate. The moon was also a major part of the Wethermon lore. It makes me wonder about other Colossi, like how Lycagon only appears at night.

During the battle, Sunraku finally gets his prized crystal scorpion stinger from the new rare Golden Scorpion! Huzzah!

Even with that lore epiphany, this is mostly just a combat episode. The whole, "I can only travel to the inventoria a limited number of times" seemed like a pretty dumb and unnecessary limitation added just to increase the tension a bit. But I'll let it slide because the "oh no, now I have no weapon" actual limitation was both a surprising twist and a really good climax tension builder.

Can't wait to see Bilac's face when he shows up with the Gold Crystal Scorpion parts!

Can’t wait to see Bilac’s face when he shows up with the Gold Crystal Scorpion parts!

It does make me wonder. Usually in a game like this, loot shows up as small items with neat labels saying it's loot, but we'll have to stay tuned to find out if the game can actually do any crafting with random monster parts...

[–] Mercuri@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Well, Bilac specifically requested Crystal Scorpion parts. And we saw Vysache use monster parts Sunraku had to make his moon blades. OH SNAPS! Another moon reference!

Plus this is SLF not some TRASH GAME where the monsters don't drop the quest items unless you pick up the quest first!

Done!
