How Do I Join/Play?

Co-Op Tips from evnamisha.

Kraken: Get the small fry out of the way, and when the boss appears, throw a healing bomb to the boss so any weak party members chaining don't get 2-hit.



Cocoon: Leave the green bombs for when the boss transforms. Do your best to make sure all the small fry (especially the mages who cast the field-wide anti-regen thing) are out of the way. Throw the green bombs in the path of the stampeding transformed boss, and when he runs over them, he gets dazed and his shields go down, making for easy chains until he regains composure and knocks everyone out of the way. When he's not transformed, he'll periodically start a projectile animation. If you're being targeted, start somersaulting out of the way, as this devastating attack can be avoided.



Nibirous: You have to pick up the Silver Arrows from around the field, and use them on the boss to weaken its shield. When its shield is down, you can chain. Not complicated.



If you're inexperienced, you're not useless. Wait until opportune moments to chain. Your chain bonuses greatly increase the damage output of higher level players, so it's critical you get in there and start stacking chains. Also, for these three stages ^^^ don't diffuse magic unless someone is incessantly dropping circles and lagging players. The later dragon boss map is fairly large and diffusing healing circles there isn't uncommon. Click to expand...

I figured we should start a NeoGAF call out to get online with The Last Story before GameSpy shuts down the Nintendo WFC servers.NINTENDO WI-FI CONNECTION SHUT DOWN:Try to get as many of the online exclusive items before servers shut down on May 20th.There are five weapons in co-op (one per boss) which are acquired for beating a boss, each weapon can be upgraded to +5 with materials procured from repeating the specific boss. There are four weapons and three (?) exclusive materials in deathmatch, these are awarded randomly by winning first place (weapons first, then materials). There are thirty-one exclusive effect dyes which are awarded by not getting first or last place in deathmatch, although a small number are given for last place initially. There are two more weapons which are rare drops by getting first place in either co-op or deathmatch mode.Everybody plays with equal stats on deathmatch mode and your equipped weapon is just for looks.For co-op, levels don't count but equipment does. You may be able to get most of the weapons if you join a group with one or two later game players and follow the tips I'll post later in the FAQ. Small groups and groups with all early players probably won't accomplish much here, unfortunately.If you haven't started yet at all, just start a new game and play the first chapter or two. You'll get the basic controls down and you can at least jump into deathmatch and get effect dyes.Post you Last Story fried code (you can get this from the Friend Roster option in the main multiplayer menu)Add everybody from your game's region in the OP.Once the set time begins, connect to Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, then select Friends and select the match type (we will probably focus on deathmatch).If there are no active lobbies after a little bit, you may try to host one. Communicate here if you are hosting. Let's try to keep lobbies as full as possible, if there are three hosts sitting with two player lobbies, back out and fill up another room.The host may opt to back out and restart the clock if the lobby needs more players. If this happens, just try to join again.Keep an eye on this thread, refresh after a match or two on a laptop/mobile if possible for communication.For Muruk, you'll need one fire magic dude and one Ice Magic dude, should be simple enough to figure out from there.There doesn't seem to be a specific strategy for Atar (at least in the match I had), just wallop, dodge and pray (haha).PixyJunket: 2065-6331-6069.alanias: 2066-3884-3061.meow: 1764-9831-4151.i-Jest: 1808-6904-0293.Soul Beat: 4901-0668-7160.Fancykong: 5029-9159-1705.Fandangox: 2710-1062-2538.Penguin: 4599-6655-7704.cj_iwakura: 1851-6401-5449.evanmisha: 5115-1639-0836.The Crimson Kid: 1808-6904-4600.creid: 3440-0552-8252.Yukiari: 2367-0362-4748.astrogamer: 3569-6271-2311.foxuzamaki: 2667-6839-7977.Esque7: 3354-5745-3269.Eusis: 1292-5288-4546.Miroku129: 4858-0245-2316.Northeastmonk: 2753-5834-8576.EdLin: 4127-9731-5757.Hibiki Kurosawa: 4170-9226-8099.Varshes: 3097-1809-1129.Toad.T: 1593-9406-4700.Jane Mansfield: 3999-0482-0734.Ruhe69 (offsite): 2367-0273-7070.TunaLover: 5372-8600-9155.I am Christina Aguilera: 2023-3534-7810.IceIpor: 3826-7265-7466.neto: 2151-6527-4735.SatoAilDarko: 3655-5275-5680.HungOverOnATues: 1379-1949-1826.Aexact: 4256-1793-0273.Terrible_Majesty: 4213-8732-2498.oni_saru: 4557-4699-3736.BTA: 0820-8496-3016.Jomjom: 4600-4209-5871.Samurai_Heart: 1765-7407-0888.kunonabi: 2494-9974-5567.1337: 0563-1492-0327.Dee Dee: 0949-6971-6709.Chris_IWS: 4600-4196-2102.Andrin: 4900-0752-8517.
