Hey. i'm Blue. This tutorial will be covering how to get to Ultimate Mode using a solo method. i will be going in-depth on what can be used, that most players may have glossed over. in this tutorial, i'll be using a Hunter. They're usually hard to level & gear when starting out, so this will be perfect for teaching you how to overcome that. All classes stats have been reworked. HUcaseal's Max ATP is very close to HUcast's. HUmar can now use Shifta/Deband. HUnewearl's MST is close to max on lvl 200, while having solid overall stats. This leaves me with HUcast. While definitely not a bad class, he can be difficult to get around when starting out. His high DFP doesn't seem to get much use, since you need to sacrifice one of your major stats to get it high enough. Having the highest ATA of the hunters, HUcaseal does his job much better when she's your first pick. This is why i consider him a 'Late-Game' class, because his strengths wont come into play until you manage to find gear for him that compensates for his flaws. So let's pick HUcast to make it harder on ourselves. Neat. First thing we wanna do is create a room and start Mag-Feeding. Most players will just tell you to create a high POW mag or something like that. i would recommend you to create 2 Mags. How do we do that? Just make another character and deposit their Mag & Meseta into the "Common" bank, by typing '/bank' once your in Pioneer. (Tip: Characters outfits determine Mag color). Remember that Mag feeding is instant on here. Unfortunately, i'm too lazy to go over how to feed your Mag and whatnot, so just search online the recipes, or ask someone in-game or the Discord on what to do. Press F4 to spam Mag-feeding. it takes around 40 minutes to feed 1 Mag. So for our HUcast, we'll create 1 POW & 1 DEX Mag. Which might seem overkill, but having 2 different Mags will help out later when you want to create your second Character (The DEX Mag will be great for your Ranger). Now that we have our Mag, let's start. We'll start with a quest called "Max Attack S", in Episode 1. (Don't forget to Customize your Action Menu & Palette. Choose the Action you want & press a number between 0-9 on the keyboard to add it to the Palette). We can just spam traps. We don't even need a weapon! (Not because i forgot to bring one or anything >_>) Keep in mind that traps take much longer to explode on it's own on lower difficulties, so you may have to shoot them yourself. Destiny's EXP rate is high, x5 rate on average. But at this point in time, i was playing during an event. So the EXP rate became x10 instead, allowing us to gain levels really fast Thanks to Destiny's high EXP rate, we managed to ALMOST get to level 20. i think i could've gotten to level 20 if some of the confused monsters didn't take my kill. Oh well. Now lets do something else in the meantime. We're going to hunt 'Addslots'. They drop from the Rare Lily & Hildeblues on the 'Redria' Section ID in Episode 2 on 'Normal Mode'. You can change Section ID's by typing "/sectionid #" in the lobby only. (# - Refers to the sectionid number) Number '6' is for Redria. Usually, this option is available when an event is on. A text will show up on the right side of the screen indicating it's still on. if nothing happens, then you can assume the /sectionid command is off. So let's try a Quest called "Dolmolm Research" in Episode 2, under the 'Destiny' tab. The Quest shouldn't be too hard for you. Especially since you're a high level like me right now. After Hunting like 3 or 4 Addslots, i want to go over a few things. Did you know, Hunters can now use 'Divine Punishment'? This can accelerate your levels for early game by a landslide. All you need is a "HELL STRIKER" & Striker Unit Mag. Just make sure your in-game 'Internet Time' is on an even number by opening your menu and looking at the bottom right. (Ex. 000, 200, 400) Destiny also allows for higher tier common weapons with really strong specials, to drop much earlier than they originally should. These two were just found in Mines Area in Hard mode. After doing some more Max Attack S, we can do a Quest called "Phantasmal World #3" (PW3 for short). Recommend to reach level 30, so you can do this quest in Hard Mode, for the high grade weapons. Kill everything here, then take a left. The Morfos are going to be pretty tough. My HUcast can't do enough damage to them, so i'm using a "Storm Repeater". A single-target weapon with 'Hell' special can work too. i recommend you switch to your DEX Mag for more accuracy. Make sure your Camera isn't facing them, or they start BLASTIN. A few light enemies down the hallway, and we made it to our reward. Can even get some 'Photon Drops' from these boxes. After finding some more weapons, i decided to try a Quest called "Harmony of Despair II" (HOD2 for short). This Quest normally requires you to have an item called "Weapons Crystal Badge" in your inventory before starting. But that only applies in 'Ultimate mode', so it's completely free in 'Hard/Very Hard' difficulty. it's inaccessible in 'Normal Mode'. Also i found one of the event crates too. Neat. That Quest can kick you in the teeth if you don't abuse everything you got in your arsenal, especially this early. if you manage to kill everything in sight, including splitting the 'Bulclaws', you can get to level 50 just by playing halfway. On 'Very Hard Mode', you can get to level 90 in just one session, if you managed to take advantage of all the kills, with x10 EXP on. Our next goal is to get to Episode 4. We need to make it to Level 70, so we can start hunting some good units for once. The level requirements for difficulties are just 10 levels lower than the usual. So for Ultimate Mode, it's just 90 instead of 100. Gear that you'd want to go for are the 'God/Series' units. Since i don't feel like listing where to find them, the drops for these are here: Destiny PSOBB - Drop Tables Just press 'CTRL + F' and type whichever unit you need to find. So after leveling some in 'Very Hard Mode', i managed to get to level 73. This is what my gear looks like: We will start an Episode 4 Quest called "MA4DMD" (or something like that...). The goal is to kill the 'Dorphon Eclair' that's guaranteed to spawn at the last of the starting area waves of enemies. First, we will deal with the 'Zu's'. They're a pain in the [REDACTED]. But we can deal with them. Using the Rock as cover, the other 'Zu's' will just slowly strafe around to get a clear shot, so just focus on one. i'm using a 'Demon's Raygun', since my HUcast isn't doing alot of damage on his own. (Note: Casts only suffer a Demon's penalty in 'Ultimate Mode') Now we can use this rock to eliminate the pressure from most that spawn here. [ignore the Striker Unit. Has almost same stats as Varaha, and i'm too lazy to switch it] You could try to use confuse on them, but the 'Dorphons' have way too much HP for it to even matter. Beware, the 'Astark' can hit you through the rock. All the big enemies can be Hell'd, but it's about a 3%-5% chance for it to work. So the strategy is to use a weapon with an Arrest special on the 'Dorphons' (Since they're immune to freeze traps), and use Demon's special after. Use a weapon with the Burning special or equivalent to do damage, if your ATP is too low against a monster. Gush special can heal you and do the same amount of damage stolen from an enemy. Don't worry about dying. This can be tough to deal with, so just expect it. A few waves later, and we reach our target. The 'Dorphon Eclair'. Use either Demon's or Hell, as this thing is pretty weak to the Hell special. After killing him (Assuming you didn't run into an actual rare 'Dorphon' before now), just reset. This is what he drops in 'Very Hard Mode' if this was too hard for you, then you can always try an easier method. Create a room and change the "Play Mode" option to 'One Person'. This will change the game to Singleplayer, allowing you access to the original story quests and make the monsters weaker. But it will change the droprate to x1 at all times, even when Happy Hour is on, while also giving you much less EXP from enemies. After that, goto Episode 4 and start a Quest called "Pioneer Spirit" or "Warriors Pride" (Pioneer Spirit gets to the point a little faster). When the Quest starts, look for these characters, a guy in an orange wet suit named 'ASH', a gremlin named 'RUPIKA' and a Ranger named 'BERNIE'. You can only take 2 of them on each Quest. Unlike the other useless NPC's, they will help out alot, since ASH deals around 150 damage with both physical & techs, and RUPIKA can spam techs and heal you whenever you're low. Once ASH leaves the team, reset the Quest. Because by that time, RUPIKA most likely is low on Star Atomizers and TP for her Techs. So she becomes dead-weight and you'll have to pretty much carry her till then. After a couple of runs hunting units, and some more levels, we reached 'Ultimate Mode'. Our final goal, is to see if we can fend off & farm the monsters in Forest Ultimate. What we want is that 'SMARTLINK', 'Centurion/Battle', and maybe the 'Centurion/Arms'. There's not much reason to hunt in 'Very Hard Mode' at this point, since 'Ultimate Mode' Grants us a x2 droprate boost. So lets see what we can do: it may have been slow, but we did it.
