RETURN TO MOUNTAIN WILDERNESS
25th Level Lord and Samurai
Ryu casts Return to Portal so that the party returns to the Southeast Wilderness.
I arrive near the entrance to the Rapax Away Camp. I travel west and then north so that I enter the Mountain Wilderness.
Now I travel west through the Mountain Wilderness and up the mountain trail, fighting plenty of monsters along the way. The intention is to grind until everyone reaches 26th level. There is a specific reason why.
I make progress when Rothgar and Ryu reach their 25th levels of experience. Rothgar takes Superman, while Ryu takes Concussion.
Ryu sets up a new portal at the top of the mountain trail.
27th Level Fighter and Bard
Another run and Zarax and Errol advance to their 27th levels of experience.
25th Level Valkyrie
Another cycle starts off with killing six Bitter Wings along the trail.
The next fight amounts to fighting three Bitter Wings and eight Blistering Scorchers. Two of the Bitter Wings are on the near side, while the other one is on the far side of the Blistering Scorchers. I kill off the first two Bitter Wings with melee attacks.
But I take on a different strategy after that. It might actually be dangerous to try and cut down the Blistering Scorchers one at a time with physical attacks, because the Bitter Wing on the other side could periodically breath poison at me without my part being able to reach it. So I have Chun-Li blast the Scorchers with spells like Mind Flay and Tsunami. Terra chips in a coupe of Tsunami spells as well. I get a sense that the Scorchers are nearing death, so Ryu adds a Blizzard to the mix as well to finish them off. This approach had the benefit of keeping the Bitter Wing out of range. I charge the remaining two Bitter Wings after I've cleared out the Scorchers.
Vi Domina advances to her 25th level, and she takes the Falling Stars spell. I continue hunting down monsters as I travel east.
25th Level Monk
I rest and go back the way I came, west through the Mountain Wilderness. RFS-81 reaches his 25th level of experience after I fight enough monsters.
25th Level Ninja and Bishop
Another cycle leads to both Terra and Chun-Li advancing to their 25th levels. Terra takes Earthquake, while Chun-Li takes Concussion.
26th Level Lord and Samurai
A few more cycles leads to Rothgar and Samurai advancing to their 26th levels. Rothgar takes Instant Death, while Ryu takes Dehyrdate.
Conqueror and Muse
A couple more cycles and Zarax and Errol reach their 28th levels. Zarax attains the rank of Conqueror, while Errol attains the rank of Muse.
26th Level Valkyrie
A few cycles later and I'm fighting Bitter Wings and Blistering Scorchers bunched together on the mountain trail. Since they're in a bottleneck together, I use spells to wear them down collectively. Fire is a relative weakness for Bitter Wings, so that it includes Prismic Chaos from Chun-Li and Nuclear Blast from Ryu. Since there's the Scorchers as well, the spells also include Tsunamis and Blizzards.
Vi Domina advances to her 26th level. She takes Instant Death.
26th Level Monk
Sometimes there's periods where monsters won't spawn for a while in the Mountain Wilderness, so I fill those killing Savant Androids in Arnika instead.
One such cycle leads to RFS-81 advancing to his 26th level.
26th Level Ninja
Another such cycle has Terra advancing to her 26th level after I kill some Savant Slashers and Savant Gunners near the Savant Tower. She takes Quicksand.
26th Level Bishop
Ryu casts Return to Portal to return to the Mountain Wilderness. And sure enough I have fresh waves of monsters to slaughter.
Chun-Li advances to her 26th level as a Bishop. She takes the Death Wish spell.
I have now reached my objective of everyone being of 26th level or higher. Errol changes his arrows over to the high end stuff, Armor Piercers. Vi Domina casts Return to Portal, which returns the party to near the portal to Ascension Peak. I rest up and buff up, now including a Chameleon spell from Terra.
It is now time to tackle Ascension Peak.
