Anti-Lao-Shan Lung Weapon: Crafting the Eternal Strangulation (Super Exquisite) and Claiming Victory
AdminNext up is G-Rank Lao-Shan Lung. Last time, the Dual Blades' Demon Dance was super effective against Lao-Shan Lung, so without hesitation, I decided to craft the Eternal Strangulation (Super Exquisite)—the strongest Dragon-element weapon available in G-Rank.
The material needed is an Ancient Lump. I had mined a few in the volcano area previously while farming for Onikiri, so I tried using those and somehow managed to get it.
Huge thanks to this website.
By checking how many items to craft before a "Very Weathered ~" appears, and figuring out which slot in the list of "?????" weapons corresponds to the Dual Blades, you can reset the game and craft the exact weapon you want.
I saved the game... and when I went to the weapons shop, I had 4 of them. To be precise, it seems I had 4 different types of weapons.
The very first one turned out to be a Very Weathered Great Sword. What a great start! This gives me useful information: right now, if I craft an item on the first try, a "Very Weathered ~" appears. The "~" corresponds to each weapon type. Also, out of the four "??????", the top one is the Great Sword.
*Note: If a "Very Weathered ~" doesn't appear here, you apparently have to progress through quests equal to the number of "?????" remaining.
The fourth "??????" was the "Dual Blades"! Luckily, this means I can craft it now. I quickly reset the game (i.e., quit without saving) and headed back to the weapons shop.
*Note: If the Dual Blades hadn't appeared here, it would mean I didn't have the Ancient Lump for Dual Blades, so I assume I'd have to go back to the volcano to mine and collect more. Ancient Lumps already have their weapon type determined the moment you acquire them.
I've figured it out! Reset, and right on the first try, craft the 4th item, which is the Dual Blades "??????"!
Hell yeah! I instantly got the Very Weathered Dual Blades.
After that, I had to upgrade it a few times to finish it, which required a total of 120 Earth Crystals. So it was back to volcano mining, which was quite a hassle. In the end, I'm left with a huge pile of leftover "?????".
I・D・I・D・I・T！
You're going down, Lao-Shan Lung!!
...And so, the next day, I repelled him so easily that I have almost nothing to write about. I just spammed Demon Dance. The real hunt starts from the weapon crafting phase.
