Trying to find ways to sneakily kill my targets in the weird BDSM meat party. You start in a van with the body of a butcher, so his disguise is the obvious way to get into the building itself.

What the game doesn't reveal is that the butcher isn't dead- he's just unconscious, even though the cutscene shows you beating him on the head with a sharp metal object. Guards will be alerted within minutes, not just to the butcher disguise but to you specifically.

At least guards won't shoot you for running too fast or standing in the wrong place or smelling funny, like in Silent Assassin.

Whyyyy do red dragons shoot LASERS!

Crypt of the Necrodancer.

[Iceblaster]

Because it's awesome? I mean. If you were a red dragon, you'd probably be 'daw i probably only spit fire' then you go to attack a hapless adventurer and 'WHAAAZOOOWA' 'HOLY SHIT LASERS'

or something

[Culise]

Could be worse.  Who makes a fire dragon demon not vulnerable to ice in a series where the traditional oppositional elements include fire/ice?  Where all your past dealings with him had him vulnerable to ice?  Worse, who now reflects ice attacks right back at you?  And mocks you if you make the attempt, just for good measure.

Spoiler: Actually, that's not just a joke.  This one really was a (really old) death for me (click to show/hide)

Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2

[Akura]

The Battle Tree is just as bullshit as the Battle Royal it seems. I sent out Wishiwashi, they sent out Typhlosion. Typhlosion used Sunny Day, which nerfed Wishiwashi's Surf to be less than a OHKO. Typhlosion used Solar Beam, bringing Wishiwashi to critical HP, the fell to the next Surf(Wishiwashi's ability shuts off at the end of the turn). Next is Charizard. Wishiwashi is immediately fried. Raichu comes out, and one-shots Charizard with Stoked Sparksurfer. Next is Salazzle. Raichu can't hit first, and goes down in one hit. Metagross is last, and also goes down in one hit because Sunny Day was still in effect.


Next attempt, Wishiwashi goes up against Sharpedo, loses, but then Sharpedo loses to Raichu. Next out, Hydreigon. Cue ragequit.

Pokemon Sun. This is really starting to piss me off. ORAS postgame stuff was a bit more fair - opponents were mostly randomized except for some(like Wally). Here, you go up against a constant wall of stuff specifically tailored to counter whatever you use. I have a number of possible breeding stock, but I can't breed effectively until I get the IV-inheriting items, which requires BP, which I can't get because I can't even win a single round.

You can get BP from the Dome whether you win or lose.

Or you could hyper train if you can stand grinding to level 100, and it's not too hard to get bottle caps if you know where to look.

If it helps any battle tree (and maison and all the other postgame lv 50 battle arenas) have trouble with pokes that can change their typing.  I've destroyed battle maison with a zoroark* easily, and in Moon I've been doing quite a bit of damage so far with an Arcanine that knows burn up*  It seems the AI just can't figure out how to deal with opponents that's typing it can't figure out.

Also if you do doubles you can bring 4 pokes instead of 3, increasing your odds of having something the opponent can't deal with easily.  The opponents teams also are not built with doubles in mind, so you can get farther with a dedicated doubles team designed to work well with eachother.

Mind
Null Element

The frig kind of Pokémon game are you playing?

[Greiger]

I have trouble spelling psychic without spellcheck, and I don't know what it's called when a pokemon doesn't have a type.  A friend called it null element before.

Checking bulbpedia it appears to be called 'typeless'.

[Akura]

I believe he means Psychic - which Zoroark is immune to. And it is in fact possible for Typhlosion/Arcanine/Smeargle* to have no type at all, a pure Fire-type Pokemon can learn Burn Out, which hits hard*, but is only usable if the user is Fire-type, and using it removes the Fire-typing, which in the case of the two Pokemon(besides Smeargle) who can learn it, is a typeless Pokemon.


PRE-EDIT:Dammit, took too long typing that.

[Greiger]

Eh I got everything wrong.  I don't know where I got Burn Up from.   It is indeed Burn out.

Found the uniform for the opium waiter. I turn a corner and walk into the real opium waiter. The game helpfully reminds me that there should only be one of us.

That doesn't make sense, it's a pretty big party. Can't keep the gimps waiting. At your BDSM opium orgy. In a meat factory. Which seems to actually be a working meat plant, even during party hours. Doesn't mean you can't have blood and meat all over the dance/sex/drugs floor.

Man, the first game must have been weird if that's where this level came from.

A ghost maestro/poltergeist threw tons of chairs at me until I used my last beef jerky to heal myself, then it powered up its attack, nullifying my debuff I put on it.  3 more turns of being hit by chairs finally killed me.

Mother 3

[Rolan7]

I was hounded by scandal after spending a couple of days bumping elbows at the Shuttered Palace (really, just elbows!  They find the oddest things scandalous, like trying to write a book!  Okay, maybe I tried to include some subtly seditious ideas...  By accident...)

Anyway, I visited a church service to show everyone what a good citizen I am.  I got unlucky and only made things worse, causing me to be chased out of town and exiled to the tomb colonies.
Well fine.  I LIKE the tomb colonies.  Your stupid parties were dumb anyway.

Fallen London

I also got killed in the Demons The Possessed campaign but turns out we misread the first aid rules again.  So I got better.

This particular level was not in the first game.

The game you're playing is the darkest of the series, though.
