Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City: Difference between revisions

- Around the end of the 3rd floor you're going to get the ability to multiclass.  

- Don't worry about defeating FOEs before you move to the next floor--they are intentionally hard.

- Most bosses have a 'gimmick'--figuring it out makes them much easier. Someone will usually tell you/hint at it when you are on your way down.

- Keep an alt party of farmers for farming. They are gonna get wiped for a bit; I ran my group with a hoplite for a bit until they were entirely self-sufficient. They're the main source of income for you.  

- If you do the ship stuff (it's really pretty optional), you'll usually get some cool stuff that will help make bosses much easier.  

- Also, the sea quest battles can be repeated as many times as you like, allowing you to gain experience points very quickly early in the game without having to walk around in the dungeon waiting for enemy encounters.

- Map well!! Nothing is more frustrating than wandering around a dungeon wondering where to go because you accidentally drew a wall where there isn't one.  

- Princes are pretty much the best party healer for the first part of the game.

- Zodiacs are useful at first, but things start losing elemental weaknesses as the game goes on and they get less useful.

- There are two special classes you can unlock. If you want the shogun (sword wielder), select the Senatus' mission. If you want the yggdroid (robots), select the Abyssal King's.
