    Just a random thought. Another great way to get some Shiny materials is from the three different Status Effect preventing caps that you can either steal or have dropped from specific enemies, some of which are actually encountered VERY early on! The notable ones are the pink gloops you find in some of the early areas near viper manor, the bats on the climb up the side of the manor aka where the falling rocks were, and the bugs in the well of viper manor.
    The easiest to get is the Poultice Caps which are a common steal from the Mama Dogs in the Fossil Road place in Home World aka the road that connects the area between the starting village & Viper Manor. This is the same cap that is a rare drop from the pink gloop thingies that you can face far earlier. These are all the easiest ones that I know of. You can also get antiviral caps as a common steal from the Spearfisher enemies that you encounter way later.

    Once you get the yellow plate you can fight the Chrisosphynx(sp) on Earth Dragon Isle and stock up on Earthquake and Thunda Storm. He uses multiple spells in a row so he will heal you too. Dont worry about your other two party members dying but if you really want the best chance make the other two yellow innates. Great video! Thanks for consistent and in depth guides and information. My completionist/OCD brain really enjoys them.

      This Is a great tip!

    • @veghesther3204
      @veghesther3204 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Or steal the Yellow plate first and do the FIRST step to fight Dario since Salt and Pepper CAN use Earthquake and Thunda storm as well WITHOUT triple using it.
      IF you MISS Frog Prince and are on a NG + run I had NOTHING ever use it not even Aquator itself at the end of the game before killing it without Owning Frog Prince on a NG+ run.
      I HAD a SOLO Shadow cat use Mother Ship but I still had to have it at low HP before I had it ever use it same with fighting 2 Shadow Cats I had to have 1 of them at low HP and the 2nd one either at low HP or already killed before its used.

    • @skins4thewin
      @skins4thewin ปีที่แล้ว

      You can also get Earthquakes pretty easily & VERY early by stealing them from the centipede enemies in the Home world Hydra Marshes. You can get them before you're even able to buy any Trap elements.

  • @tantacles
    @tantacles  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Corrections/Additions:
    1. Cuscus DOES copy summon elements. So I suppose if you want two copies, that's the way to get them. Good luck getting Cuscus to cast them, though!
    2. Criosphinx is a good source of earthquake and thundastorm; just equip the yellow plate to make the fight a little more comfortable.
    3. Totalchaos in the dimensional vortex is a great source for blackhole for sprigg.
    4. Gerridae in shadow forest is a great source for deluge for Sprigg.

    • @skins4thewin
      @skins4thewin ปีที่แล้ว

      Has anyone confirmed that Cuscus will in fact cast a Summon that you cast? How do you get it to cast it? Like what is it about it that makes it so unlikely for Cuscus to cast it?

    • @skins4thewin
      @skins4thewin ปีที่แล้ว

      Lol is there any way at all to get Gerridae to actually cast it without needing Sprigg?

    You can also just steal Earthquakes from the Centaurpede enemies via their rare steal. Takes some patience to get them that way but can be gotten SUPER early! Earlier than literally any other Level 5 element as far as I'm aware.

  • @skins4thewin
    @skins4thewin ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I assume these rules only apply later in the game, as Centaurpedes definitely didn't cast Golem early on in the game, as you can most definitely fight them very early well before you even turn into Lynx. They actually make for a really good source of money early on and of Earthquakes which happens to be their rare steal. Not the trap but the actual Earthquake element is stealable from them, and early!

    That's actually not QUITE true that everything above Level 4 must be trapped, as most of the Level 5 Elements can actually be stolen from certain enemies. A good example of this is Earthquake which can be gotten quite early from the Centipede enemies at Home Hydra Marshall via their rare steal. Level 6 and above though must be trapped.

  • @skins4thewin
    @skins4thewin ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Am pretty sure CusCus cannot be found in Another World's Shadow Forest, unless I'm missing something. I've fully explored it & there's no such enemy as far as I'm aware, unless it starts spawning there later in the game or something.

    Question. Once an Element has been trapped in a battle, can the trap be set a 2nd time and cast by the enemy a 2nd time in the same battle? Meaning can you actually trap the same spell multiple times in a single fight?

    • @tantacles
      @tantacles  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes! As long as the enemy casts it again. Summons, however, will not be cast by an enemy if you already have a copy from what I’ve seen in my playthroughs. It might be possible to manipulate it otherwise.
