  1. NI NO KUNI NOTES v2
  2. By: Kae Lynne
  3.  
  4. This note is routed for Easy.
  5. All the lines with a minus or hypen mark (-) in the beginning of the line means it's the action.
  6. For example:
  7. -Do this
  8. -Get that
  9. I might put a asterisk on some lines, but it's just a note or reminder.
  10. I will put the word "NOTE" if I want to note something.
  11. The rest will be information or just notes.
  12.  
  13. This run is the "avoid all encounters" run. I will have something in the notes if you do need to kill a familiar or two.
  14.  
  15. AVOID ALL ENCOUNTERS! Unless I say something. EACH encounter can waste 15-30 seconds and they can even kill you and even waste more time. There will be A LOT in the game. So do your best to avoid them. There will be a couple of tricks to avoid encounters (;
  16. COUNTER ATTACKING:
  17. This is a mechanic in the game that can be used on most enemies in the game. This is mainly useful for bosses which would be so helpful for speed running since counterattacking (if done right) avoids damage and stuns the boss for ~5 seconds.
  18. I will have Short/Medium/Long counter attacks for most of the bosses because that will be the timing to counter attack. Counter attacking in this game is so crucial. The timing is just there to guide you when you should counter. You will need to get the feel for the boss' attack animation and types in order to counter consistently.
  19.  
  20.  
  21.  
  22. There are several fighting styles when up against a boss
  23. Oliver focused
  24. Mitey focused
  25. Switching familiars back and forth
  26. AI cast trick
  27.  
  28. These styles will be explained later on in the guide.
  29.  
  30. !Dying is bad in this game since you lose 10% guilders and MONEY IS IMPORTANT in real life and in this game. If you die, that means you get less items and that means you have to play more conservatively and carefully which would result in much smaller room for further mistakes.
  31.  
  32. ENOUGH INTRODUCTION. LET'S GET TO THE NOTES!

  140. ***Mitey will do more damage so don't worry about mana so much since Mitey's damage is reliable at the least.**
  141. No Mana situation: The first counter attack will be with Oliver. When the boss is stunned, send out Mitey and command attack once. After the command is finished. The boss should be back and attack you. Counter that with Mitey.
  142.  
  143. When the boss charges, keep a medium distance, so he will hit you with the max range.
  144. -Stay very close to the boss after the charge. This will trigger the drippy cutscene and will stun the boss for a long time.

  161. Rusty‘s Nightmare: Medium Counter attack
  162. This fight is also straight forward. Use the same strategy as you did with gladiataur.
  163. -Cast frostbite

  187.  
  188. BOSS: BASHURA
  189. This fight, you just spam thunderspark On Drongo, switch to Sid and spam waterbomb.
  190. You can also frostbite (Oliver) and switch to sid (waterbomb)
  191. UP TO YOU. Esther is kind of dumb. Doesn't make too much use of Drongo. I believe both strategies have the same kill speed. Using Drongo is much more Mana efficient, and can cast more.
  192.  
  193. This is where you use most or all your iced coffee.
  194.  
  195. Make sure to defend DEVASTATION. It's very fast. Need to defend quickly.
  196.  
  197. SHOULD BE LEVEL 10 AFTER BOSS FIGHT.
  198.

  211.  
  212. BOSS: MOLTAAN
  213.  
  214. This fight will be up to Oliver and Sid. Switch them back and forth after casting each of their spell.
  215. This is where you use all your strong coffee or even iced coffee.
  216.  
  217. STAY AS FAR AWAY AS YOU CAN OR FAR ENOUGH TO NOT GET HIT WITH THE TAIL.
  218.  
  219. The first 50% hp will be easy. Expect esther to die because she's dumb and likes to give the boss hugs.
  220. The second half of this fight will be dealing with VOLCANIC ROAR.
  221. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Defending this move and especially if you have Sid on the field.
  222. Sid has evade so you will need to wait 2-3 seconds before evading.
  223. FORTUNATELY, you will ADAMANT BADGE on Sid so it prevents Sid from getting 1 hit by the move, BUT MAKE SURE HE'S ALWAYS HIGH HP! THE BADGE WILL ONLY WORK IF THE USER IS HIGH HP.
  224.  
  225. Overall, this fight is easy. The only thing you need to watch for is VOLCANIC ROAR.
  226.

  238. **Esther shouldn't have a familiar but should have adamant badge equipped**
  239.  
  240. BOSS: AL-KHEMI
  241.  
  242. -Use PULSE AND SWITCH TO DRONGO WHILE PULSE ON COOLDOWN. USE THUNDERSPARK. REPEAT THIS.
  243. -MUST DEFEND HUBBLE BUBBLE (1 HIT KO)

  255. SWITCH DRONGO BACK TO ESTHER.
  256. WARNING: WHEN FIGHTING SWAINE`S NIGHTMARE. CAREFUL TO NOT CONSUME SPRITE DEW.
  257. Swaine’s Nightmare: fast/Medium counter attack (depends on attack)
  258. This boss can be on lockdown easily meaning you can make him do much more attacks than what he usually will do simply by counterattacking continously.
  259. Opening: put out Lemur first and use sharpener on Oliver. Switch back to Oliver and cast pulse. Wait for the boss to come to you and counter attack. Send out mitey for one attack command, and after wait until he attacks then counter that. Rinse and repeat.
  260. The priority damage here is Mitey. Also keep Mitey buffed.
  261. TANK HIS HITS!! He doesn't hit too often, the cooldown for his attacks for kinda long, so if you fail a counter attack, you'll have a good chance after.
  262. GRUDGE: when he casts his move, it takes a while and you have plenty of time to interrupt it. Defend this move though but defend right before he casts the move.
  263. *After boss
  264. Before sailing, equip adamant badge on Swaine.
  265.  
  266. BOSS: SHADAR
  267. This boss is easy. Should have no problem here at all and it's a short fight too. I don't choose to counter attack here considering he mostly uses magic.
  268. Opening: Cast sharpener with Lemur and switch back to Mitey, use mitey to deal damage.
  269. He will cast BLEAK MID WINTER early on (maybe 2nd spell) so prepare to defend that.
  270. DO NOT make Mitey chase Shadar. It will waste his duration. If he teleports away, switch to oliver, cast pulse and chase him down.
  271. Wind move (sorry I don't remember the name): If he does this move, move to his back and attack him. This is a good move for him to use.
  272. Your party doesn't matter too much here, you can 1v1 him no problem.
  273. -Go right up to Shadar so you make him cast the wind move which is really easy to dodge.
  274. You can choose to keep buffing mitey. Up to you.
  275.  
  276. *AFTER TALKING TO MUMMY FAIRY
  277. --METAMORPH DRONGO AND SID AFTER GETTING STONE FROM MUMMY.
  278. -GET POISON PINCH FROM GREEN CHEST.
  279.  
  280. MUMMY'S TUMMY:
  281.  
  282. -EQUIP BURNING BLADE ON MITEY
  283. -Have sid on Oliver so he/she stays safe.
  284.  
  285. This is my route in this area. If you would like to see this in action watch my run at 2hr 7 min mark.
  286. Pieces of Art
  287. Burden (THEN SELL SPRITE DEW AND BUY 2 GALE SPEAR [2400g] and equip on Drongo/Sid)
  288. Spring lock
  289. Rejuvenate
  290. Secret ingredient
  291. Fireball
  292. (go to bird to get levitate)
  293. Levitate
  294. Quicken growth (walking fairy)
  295. Broom Broom
  296.  
  297. MUMMY'S TUMMY
  298. (MUST HAVE BURNING BLADE EQUIPPED!)
  299. DEFEND WHEN THEY USE MOVES!!! ESPECIALLY BELLY BUSTER FROM STING RAYS
  300. 1st room: Use sharpener on Oliver, and cut loose with mitey. Kill with melee.
  301. 2nd room: Use sharpener on Oliver and kill the seals, and pulse on long hair familiar, and switch to mitey right after when knocked down.
  302. HEAL
  303. 3rd room: Use sharpener on Oliver and kill with mitey. Use Cutloose. Try to defend BELLY BUSTER.

  308. HEAL
  309. EQUIP BURNING BLADE!!
  310. ROYAL JELLY: Medium counter attack.
  311. ***Don't bother about your party. it's better to 1v1 the boss since it can be manipulated by forcing it to do the same attack (spin) and get locked stun in counters. BUT try to keep the party alive until they used all their mana which won't be hard to do**
  312. This is a mitey focused fight. counter attacking with mitey and dealing damage.
  313. IF YOU DO:
  314. Counterhit with Oliver-> Use sharpener-> put out mitey for one attack command and counter after. (You should have enough time to do all this before the jelly attacks again)
  315. Counterhit with Mitey-> 2 attack commands and wait for the jelly to counter.
  316. (watch 1:00 mark of this video to know what to do with mitey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XXcbaZjfiA) *The strategy is similar*
  317. -make sure mitey is buffed with sharpener every time he attacks.
  318. -Have the jelly aggro you by casting fireballs with Oliver and running to its side for the boss to do the spin attack. Easiest attack to counter.
  319. BABY SHOWER: Ignore babies, hit boss. Should get more than one gold glim. Let mitey or drongo pick it up since they have good aoe miracles. 1 gold should bring the jellies to really low hp, you can use cutloose to kill the rest, or cast fireballs. depending on how many is left.
  320. *AFTER BOSS*
  321.  
  322. BEFORE GOING TO HAMELIN
  323. -GET RAW STEEL OUTSIDE OF HAMELIN

  377. This is a good amount of inventory. You can choose to run with lower and maybe even a bit more than half (I managed to do it), but you will need to play strategically and carefully which is slower, but it's better than playing platoon again.

  416. - 2 flame weapon (Mitey and Boo).
  417. *Boo's is optional but I recommend it. Only reason why you shouldn't buy it is if you are tight on money.
  418. - 1 tundra shield (OPTIONAL)
  419. TELEPORT TO CASTAWAY COVE RIGHT AWAY AND FLY TO VAULT OF TEARS.
  420. Q: Why do you want me to go to Vault of tears and not Gliterring Grotto? It's closer to yule!
  421. A: The reason why I don't go to Glittering Grotto is that the boss is fairly strong for my level, and I wanna be doing as much damage to him as possible. They way to do that is getting 2 levels and then fight him so I get the other 2 stones first. That makes a difference. Not a whole lot but enough to make the fight go faster. I also do not lose any time doing this.
  422. I feel this is a good and easy route bu It is up to you how you want to get the 3 stones. I just recommend this one since it makes the doge fight a bit faster.
