Notes[]
- ↑ Whenever a Jellyfish is killed, all unopened slates are contaminated for 5 rounds and get a greenish color. If you open a contaminated slate by tapping on it, you get poisoned for 3 rounds. One round of the poison is applied immediately which is why you'll see the counter on the effect set to 2 rounds.
- ↑ Ghost Ally actually flees after 6 rounds, not 5 but depending on how the Ghost was created, a round may have been consumed immediately
Tips[]
DP Tips[]
- Only using Ghost Ship...: Means that only the Ghost Ship can do damage. You can still use spells like Disrupting Ray or Hex (but not Icicle)
- When reaching floor 50, Ghost Ship kills 5 enemies within 1 round: One easy way to do this is to max the Golden Caisson, use a Backtrack power if you need to buff your Ghost Ship and start use the caisson's "Golden Bomb" from floor 51 onward. If your ship is strong enough, it will work as soon as you get a floor that has no Sea Monster's Tentacle
- Reach floor 50 without using a scroll: Remember that you can use spells as long as they doen't require a scroll. So you can use dragon spells, Fire Ball cast by Hand of Balrog, Fire Elemental Ball from Fire Elemental etc...
- A team Justice Herald, Fire Elemental, Parasite with Dragon skill and Hand of Balrog can be used to relatively easily reach floor 30 without using EP, reach floor 40 within 20 minutes (take a break then to spend your EP), reach floor 50 without using a scroll and reach floor 70 without installing equipment.
Other Tips[]
- Get multiple Magic Carpet by getting voyagers's compass to level 20 and resetting it in commanders cabin. each time it gets to level 20 it gives Barbosa treasure which contains a Magic Carpet. (My best run i got 4 carpets)
- Where to find the eight ship pieces:
- Dragon Carronade: from the shop, can take a long time to appear.
- Goblin's Device: Search a Sailor's remains
- Golden Caisson: Found on corpse
- Siren Figurehead: Use 3 or 4 Ghost Crystals in a cave with a ship wreck, and defeat the ghost that appears
- Kraken's Tusk: Have the Ghost ship finish off a boss
- Voyagers's Compass: Cave with a shipwreck
- Siren's horn: Smelt a level 6 item
- Royal Telescope: Pay the Ghost Captain at least 12 Ghost Crystals (He takes all, I had 12 at the time)
- Cactus' damage reflection is deactivated when Timestill is ongoing (getting an Eternal Suit with the help of Ares' Note and the furnace can help)
- Steal on the boss (e.g. Magician Hand) provides Recovering Spell Scrolls (1-2)
