Rumble in the Jungle

Just a routine day in Etrian Odyssey Nexus. No quests to be had yet, so just exploration, map making and gathering resources for new weapons and potions. I mapped out the Small Orchard and then entered the Jungle where I mapped level 1 and fought some new monsters.

Moa in the Jungle The Moa are giant flightless birds with a bad attitude. I guess it’s revenge for making them extinct in the real world. They are pissed and want to peck your eyes out. I was told how to harvest them for the best parts in the bar. Paralyze them first and you get something special.

I really don’t like Picnic difficulty. I figured it would be easy, but gods is it easy. I just roll over everything barely getting scratched. The only thing I run out of is TP on occasion and only because I want to use spells to end these encounters as quickly as possible. And also to harvest monster parts by using specific skills.

I level up every three levels. Allocating one point at a time is unproductive. 3 at once is nice.

Yeah... regular difficulty is pretty tough but it’s pretty rewarding when you beat enemies and survive to return to the town. I like the challenge, honestly.

I usually do the default difficulty and do fine but usually run out of time to finish the game. They've really added some easier difficulty settings in recent years. I never tried them until now and I didn't expect them to be this easy. I want to start over but I want to get far in the game. Maybe it'll get more challenging later.
