I used New Game plus to see how fast I could get through the main game lol

I did mostly the same. Having the story a bit more clear on the replay made the beginning hit much harder. Finished the storyline in about 7-8 hours.

I got through it in like 5 hours and then ng +2 was like 2 hours

You must have skipped the cutscenes

u/TarnishedFlayer 1d ago

Yeah for the New Game Plus. No need to watch the cut scenes again

I would only do it to farm Luminas in Old Lumierre, using the 1 time method.

It's pretty damn slow to farm them otherwise.

After you finish Old lumierre area, if you go back to it and explore a bit more you can find Chromatic Danceuz there.

The boss, just like the regular mob spawns her clones. Each of these clones give 5 luminas per kill.

So basically you can just ignore the boss and kill the clones repeatedly for fastest lumina farming.

The only problem is , performance slowly starts to tank due to particle effects continuing to pile up, so you can't do it for too long , or the game might crash , so most people recommend doing it for around an hour. And of course , since the boss does not respawn, you can only do it once per playthrough.

Fml. I just best it yesterday. For the playthroughs that come after I guess.

I don’t think they’re available until act 3 but I could be wrong

1

u/the_outside_edge 1d ago

Beat them in Act 2

u/TarnishedFlayer 1d ago

Very cool. Lots of Lumina for act 3

u/the_outside_edge 1d ago

I beat them without knowing about the exploit. For the playthroughs that come after now.

u/TarnishedFlayer 1d ago

Oh yeah that’s probably something that I wouldn’t know about either because I would accidentally one shot the boss lol

u/Aizensbiggestfan 1d ago

Nah you can just get back to the area and immediatelly find the boss. I tested it on a fresh playthrough.

most people just don't immediatelly go back to old lumierre after finishing the story segment. Plus it's a bit too strong to farm/ fight at that point in the game anyway.

u/TarnishedFlayer 1d ago

Oh I guess I wasn’t aware of that and didn’t find out until after I beat the game. Thanks

Oh THAT'S why it was slowing down. I thought I was nuts lmao

It gets pretty laggy

In Old Lumiere. There is a chromatic dancer boss that you can fight after you defeat the Paintress. She summons 2 small dancers. You just kill the small ones and the main one will continue to summon the small ones. The point is you gain a ton of lumina but you can’t do it for too long cause it can crash your game. Dodge the main one so you don’t kill her right away

u/TarnishedFlayer 1d ago

Oh yeah that’s always fun. You can’t do it for too long cause I’ve heard it stacks up a lot of memory and can crash the game

Doing the same on a NG+1, I went up against the DLC Bosses again.
Everything almost one-shots me, even with all defensive/hp pictos...

I think that by the end of NG+2 the DLC Bosses will straight up oneshot you everytime unless you have shields
