Beating the Lost Odyssey 1st Boss - Grilgan

While my husband is still exploring the world of Lost Odyssey in Disk 4, he asked me if I could make a video of my fight with the first two bosses of the game: Grilgan and Bogimoray. The video shows that I didn't really grind/power-level in order to beat Grilgan. Practically all the items that I have are items I obtained from exploring the map. And last I checked, exploring the map for the first time doesn't exactly count as grinding. Note that my characters levels are the following: Kaim (13), Seth (13) and Jansen (12). The video also contains the skill and equipment that I have equipped.

Please note that our video capture card doesn't belong to the high end variety. The text may be unreadable.




I started the offense with Grilgan by throwing a Flare Bomb at his direction. The Flare Bomb was obtained while walking through the world and not through an NPC. Other than that I made sure that Jansen had 'Shield' cast on him. The 'Shield' spell should increase your defense against Grilgan's attacks are mostly physical but he also has a very strong magical wind attack.

Notice that he didn't exactly use his super attack on my party. Perhaps he was too busy trying to stop the offense since I made sure that I get to hit him with every turn. But if he did use the super attack, I put the item which gave Jansen the enhancement 'Crisis Attack Boost', which should help him once his HP goes below favorable levels. Both Kaim and Seth have learned 'Crisis Attack Boost' and that skill is present in their skill slot. Kaim and Seth also have White Magic Lvl 1, just in case I actually run out of potions.

Basically, the fight is very strong on defense but I made sure that I keep the offensive going. That's how most of the fights go in Lost Odyssey. And don't forget to use your items, they might just save your characters. In the fight with Grilgan the essential items are the Flare Bomb (you only get 1 but that's ok), Healing Potions and the Antidote.

While both Kaim and Seth are capable to cast the magic 'Heal', note that they are both very slow spell casters. By the time they would have finished casting 'Heal', Grilgan would have taken an offensive strike against the team. It's better for them to throw items around than cast it. And just in case there may be some 'people' from the game industry who will complain that there was no prior knowledge with regarding to the casting abilities of Kaim and Seth...well remember those super long and absolutely horrible (just horrible! *sarcasm*) loading screens? Well the character attributes are displayed there and shows the strength of each character. Of course, prior knowledge of the English Alphabet is necessary.

More on PS3 Hardware Failures: AICN's Moriarty Hit By BDL

Earlier I posted about how the PS3 is no less susceptible to hardware problems. The issue was dubbed the 'BDL' (Blu-Ray Disc Laser problem) over on Pinoyxbox by the multi-console users in the community. You'd find a lot more information about this by searching for error 80010514 and 80029906. That said, I saw this post on AICN from Moriarty ....apparently he also got hit by the BDL problem. He had the console repaired by Sony, and when he got his replacement, he was hit by another problem: he encountered an issue while updating his PS3, causing his system to get bricked. So now he's had two broken PS3s in a row, and the system has lost his recommendation as a blu-ray player system of choice for consumers: "Regarding Moriarty’s Awesome Non-Stop Blu-Ray Coverage... Or Lack Thereof! Dear Sony... Y’know, some days it doesn’t pay to be a movie fan. I’ve done tons of DVD coverage over the years here at AICN, and it’s funny... I’ve heard some people actually say, “But yo

Lost Odyssey Theme Song - "What You Are" by Sheena Easton

I've uploaded the theme song for Lost Odyssey in YouTube. Check out the video below: At first, I wasn't so into the song but when I heard it in full it grows on you. The song is actually quite beautiful. It was sung by Sheena Easton. With the lyrics from Hironobu Sakaguchi and the composition by Nobuo Uematsu. Very moving song, specially once you understand the lyrics. Below are the lyrics for the song "What You Are" by Sheena Easton When you touch me It feels just like a dream With the warmth that's in your eyes When you look at me I hear your voice beside me It whispers to me I can't hide how it makes me feel The shyness you see I may never Understand how deep it goes But I know how I feel What I hold deep in my heart There's just no way to stop this It's hopeless but true I feel this love More than anything So what more can I do You know I thought I would be much stronger than I am But then I feel the boldness that's inside my heart Just melt aw

Gamers based in the Philippines: How to get in Xbox Live

NOTE: This article has recently been updated (as of August 12, 2006). Singapore no longer lets you input '00000' as your zip code. Please see below for alternate zip codes. So you're a Filipino living in the Philippines with a brand-spanking new Xbox 360. You've heard about all the wonderful stories on Xbox Live. You happen to have a pretty good broadband connection. One day, you try out the Xbox Live sign-up options on your 360, and you find out to your dismay that your country is NOT listed. What do you do? Now, you can probably enjoy your 360 without live at all, but I have to tell you: YOU ARE MISSING OUT. As Peter Moore said in the recent MS Press Conference: "Having your 360 connected to Xbox Live is as vital as having your computer connected to the Internet". He is so damned right. I've been playing on Xbox Live for almost a year now (both on my original Xbox and the Xbox 360). Essentially I found out all of this with a little bit of research, a lit
