Guided Fate Paradox - how to grind on shop guards (part 2 of 2: the main process)
- 9 years ago
The fastest way to get GP in Guided Fate Paradox is a method you've likely overlooked or never knew existed - destroying shop guards. Sure floor 100 and beyond of EX advanced are excellent for GP, it takes so long to get that far in that it's not worth it, let alone dangerous enemies (medusa or triceramunch anyone?). Shop guards are more dependable (though chance-based, the odds are good) and it only takes 20 minutes to obtain 20+ million GP... or 300+ million GP once you find a qualifying shop. Shop guards may be too strong at first, but you can start with even just level 1 equipment (level 4 for advanced). It won't be through advanced martial arts like I can (needing 3 million DEF, 3.16 million for invincibility), it'll be with intermediate (needing 379K DEF, 400K for invincibility). Be sure to max the enemy boosting - you gain more GP and level up faster.
Toss the angel in a corner and be sure it doesn't move. Swap out any long range attacks or skills that would cause the angel to move as needed. The grind can now start!
Grab a piece of sale equipment (so you don't accidentally choose "eat" or "use") and get 2 panels away from the shop guard farthest from the owner. Use fire to attack the shop guard then the regular attack until defeated. Place the sale item on the floor and pick it up again without moving (you may have to destroy a trap). Keep going until accuracy on the side is 100% (90% minimum) or 84% on the front (75% minimum).
For stage 2, throw the angel at the other entrance where a shop guard would appear. Stay away from the shop owner. Equip the flowing cape on Renya and use it twice to push the shop guard from a diagonal into the hallway then use it again in the same direction to get it to attack. Equip the original item and attack the shop guard normally. If you don't defeat it, place the sale item on the floor to stop new shop guards from spawning and get rid of the ones you have now. When gone, repeat the flowing cape use. If defeated, defeat the new ones that appear, continuing until level is 20% higher.
In stage 3, have Renya 2 panels in a line from a shop guard. Activate god mode (to help charge the grounded mod) and attack the one that's chasing you. The new ones that follow will always be frontal attacks, one defeated rhythmically every 3/4 second. When 2 turns remain, defeat the 3 shop guards (then the owner).
If you find another shop afterward, start with stage 3.
Intermediate shop guards give 20,492.97 GP each with all 6 energy sources at demon soul for floors 1 to 20 (it's 50% more for floors 21 to 40). Advanced shop guards give 162,160.797 GP each for floors 1 to 20 (4x multiplier) and 202,700.996 for floors 21 to 40 (5x multiplier). Add 40,540.199 more GP each for every set of 20 floors after that (41 to 60 is 6x, 61 to 80 is 7x, 81 to 100 is 8x, and so on). I show the 7x giving me over 370 million GP on a single floor. I haven't seen any shops beyond floor 100 though.
