Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (Video Game)	comment	Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (ä¸–ç•Œæ¨¹ã�®è¿·å®®II è«¸çŽ‹ã�®è�–æ�¯, Labyrinth of Yggdrasil II: Holy Grail of Kings) is the second installment in the Etrian Odyssey series, following up the first game. It was released in 2008, slightly one year after its predecessor.The game's premise is very similar to that of its predecessor, but now taken to a new setting. A new Yggdrasil with its own labyrinth is awaiting to be explored, and is located next to the idyllic, wealthy city of High Lagaard. The city's governing body, the Grand Duchy of High Lagaard, invites adventurers to come and explore the labyrinth within the tree, while reminding them of the numerous dangers that lie there in the form of vicious monsters and environmental hazards. The main difference this labyrinth has in relation to that of Etria's Yggdrasil is that its main path goes upward instead of downward. How high, though? So far nobody has dared (or survived for long enough) to find out, so it's up to the player's character party to be the first to do so.In 2014, a remake of this game called Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight was released in Japan, being available later in 2015 for the Americas and early 2016 in Europe and Australia. Much like the remake of the first game, it adds a Story Mode with pre-existing characters and a more elaborate narrative, as well as a brand-new dungeon to explore; notably, it also adds the Highlander class (which, in the first game's remake, only existed for the Story Mode's protagonist and didn't exist for Classic Mode). It was also the first game in the series to have Downloadable Content.In the story mode, fellow Midgard Library childhood friends the Fafnir Knight (the protagonist) and Flavio are sent to High Lagaard to escort Princess Arianna to the Ginnugagap for an important ritual, while the little group is also tasked in exploring the Yggdrasil labyrinth. During their ritual trip, they happen to stumble upon an old knight Bertrand and her quiet companion Chloe within the mysterious dungeon. Together, the five become an exploration team and decide to uncover the secrets for both the Yggdrasil labyrinth and Ginnugagap. However, what relations does Arianna have with the Fafnir Knight, and is there a reason Bertrand is interested in tagging along?Many of the gameplay mechanics, features and perks from the first game are retained in this sequel, without much being altered or replaced. However, it does present some novelties to keep the formula fresh. For example, in addition to retaining the original nine classes, the game adds three to raise the total of twelve: Beasts (animals loyal to their human companions), Gunners (hunters who use firearms), and War Magi (sorcerers capable of performing magical actions during battle). Secondly, some frustrating elements from the first game have been alleviated here: The level penalty for resting a character was reduced from 10 to 5, the number of unlockable shortcuts in the strata's floors has increased, the difficulty progression is slightly more forgiving, a more effective Limit Break mechanic is implemented, a Suspend Save option is added, and the UI and graphics have been polished for a prettier presentation. It also introduces the option to retire a character to replace it with another who, despite not sharing the other's level, does inherit their stats and has the default level cap of 70 increased by one. It's theoretically possible to repeat the process to raise the cap to 99, but it's extremely time-consuming.The game received another remaster in 2023 for Windows PC via Steam and for Nintendo Switch, along with remasters of the first game and Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City; it can be bought by itself or with the other two games as well as part of the Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection. It is based on the DS original, lacking 2 Untold's Story Mode content, and some — but not all — of the quality-of-life touches from 2 Untold and other newer games are kept, such as skill flowcharts, multiple difficulty levels, the option to choose character portraits other than ones specific to their class, and the upgraded map interface. Both versions of the game modify the cartography interface to accommodate a single 16:9 screen, and mapping can be done with keyboard, game controller, or mouse controls on PC, the touchscreen on Switch when in Handheld or Tabletop Mode (with options to accommodate both stylus and finger touches), or a controller on Switch in any mode (including TV Mode, which does not allow use of the Switch's touchscreen).

None of your characters transfer over; you're still going to be training up a new team of heroes, but you'll still be viewed as old pros. And while this lets you access some special encounters down the line, it also means that, because you're such experts, the guards at the start of the labyrinth won't bother giving you some Medicas to help you get started.

It's a highly advanced building run by the Overlord (the game's Big Bad), and has features like conveyor belts, food dispensers and (in the remake) remote bombs that are harmful to the explorers but can be lured into F.O.E. to kill them. What makes this dungeon stand out, besides its Schizo Tech nature, is that all other strata in the game are The Lost Woods in different seasons.

In comparison, the subsequent installments would present changes and/or additions that were more impactful and significant (like a subclassing and Multiple Endings in the third game, an overworld in the third and fourth, or Prestige Class and stratum events in the fifth).

Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf	comment	Unwinnable by Design: There's a floor in its second dungeon - Ginunngagap - that tells you beforehand that you can't leave, and any attempts to do so will do nothing. What it doesn't tell you, however, is that the area is also full of moving walls that are actually overpowered F.O.E.s. Considering that they're able to trap you between walls where your only way out is through them, and that F.O.E.s are already extremely overpowered to begin with, your only choice is death if you take a wrong turn. However, the game does place three treasure chests in the first room of this floor, each with an item that allows the player to escape from almost any battle - including F.O.E.s - to the entry point of the floor. There are also one-way shortcuts that can aid a player in escaping a situation before it becomes hopeless, and the F.O.E.s will walk back to their neutral positions when the player leaves the room, allowing the player to make a different attempt at passing through the rooms.

Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (Video Game) / int_2804d516	comment	War Magi in the second game were a Master of None due to their Situational Sword attacks and their healing and support not quite matching up to those of the specialists. On top of that, their inability to inflict ailments themselves made them very team-dependent. The Fafnir Knight greatly revamped their skill set, making their War Edge skills trigger off any ailment and giving an Action Initiative factor to their healing skills to set them apart from the Medic. Their new Force Boost also allows them to maintain function in case ailments are unavailable or impractical.

The Ancient Forest and Petal Bridge return in Etrian Odyssey Nexus as Nostalgia Levels, but the other two don't, so their association with this trope is lost.

The event is so obscure that the English version of game (and no others) has some bits of improper color formatting present in the narration. This is just a funny oversight in the DS original... but it wasn't fixed in the Origins Collection remaster, and talking to the guard in that version causes the game to hang and forces a restart.

He's level 16, about equal level with the recommended level to fight the boss. Marion also serves as a guest party member for the first fight against the Great Dragon in the postgame, but unlike the former two examples, by this point it's already likely your party is on par with, or even stronger than her.

Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (Video Game) / int_410c28e9	comment	Incredibly Durable Enemies: The remake massively inflates everything's HP to offset the absurd damage the MC of story mode — the titular Fafnir Knight — deals while in his install form. This ultimately causes a few issues: first, the install requires a full meter bar to enter, meaning it's not a matter of keeping his MP high and can only be used every so often instead of constantly. Second, none of the other classes can keep up with him at all outside of Picnic difficulty, making most battles a slog in story mode, or all battles in classic mode.

Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (Video Game) / int_4c709317	comment	Useless Useful Spell: The Beast class suffers from a severe case of this trope with their Loyalty skill, which makes a Beast take a blow for any other available party member. The problem? Loyalty makes Beasts take damage depending on the Defense stat of the character they're defending, as opposed to their own Defense (so if your Beast is defending, say, an Alchemist, they'll take more damage than if they were blocking a Protector from the same attack). The most damning thing is that Loyalty is a passive, causing the Beast to uncontrollably take damage defending party members that don't need it, and putting points into it raises the chance of this happening. This ends up damaging the Beast class as a whole, as some of the Beast skills require mastery of Loyalty to some degree. The War Magi have various sword skills that have effects on their target, provided that the target is afflicted with a specific ailment. So not only are they very situational, they also demand the use of other ailment-inflicting classes to make the most out of these skills.

Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (Video Game) / int_538273bd	comment	Adaptational Superpower Change: A few classes behave remarkably differently in The Fafnir Knight compared to the base game. Some of these examples overlap with Balance Buff. The Force Limit Break system has been reworked — each class now has a unique Force Boost and Force Break, accessible when their Force Gauge is full. A Force Boost is a 3-turn buff that can enhance their performance while active, while a Force Break is a powerful skill that can be used during Force Boost, but using a Force Break prevents further use of Force Boost or Break until the party returns to town. Instead of casting spells corresponding to physical elements, Alchemists gain a line of Palm skills which offer cost-efficient elemental damage, but these spells are only available in the front line. Taking cues from Slantwise Cut in The Millennium Girl, the Ronin in this game now enable their stances with attack skills so that they can maintain their usual role in battle without spending turns not dealing damage. Their stances also no longer take up a buff slot so they don't interfere with the three-buffs cap and are not rendered powerless by a Status-Buff Dispel. Gunners go from Glass Cannon to Fragile Speedster, with a different stat spread that focuses on Agility and their attack skills now calculating off Agility. Survivalist damage skills also now calculate off their Agility stat to make them a competent damage dealer. War Magi in the second game were a Master of None due to their Situational Sword attacks and their healing and support not quite matching up to those of the specialists. On top of that, their inability to inflict ailments themselves made them very team-dependent. The Fafnir Knight greatly revamped their skill set, making their War Edge skills trigger off any ailment and giving an Action Initiative factor to their healing skills to set them apart from the Medic. Their new Force Boost also allows them to maintain function in case ailments are unavailable or impractical. Beasts were built around Taking the Bullet for the party, but there were a few pitfalls in the programming: First, their Loyalty made them tank hits automatically, and second, they would take the damage the defended member would have taken, without taking into account the Beast's own defense. This meant that instead of a party surviving a non-lethal Herd-Hitting Attack, the Beast could take all hits that are destined for its allies and die as a consequence. Also, when it moves to defend a Glass Cannon or Squishy Wizard, the Beast would take damage higher than it would if it were attacked directly. The Fafnir Knight reworked the Loyalty skill tree — Loyalty Mastery passively gives a chance for the Beast to halve incoming damage so that they can tank effectively, damage calculation during tanking now correctly uses the Beasts's own defense stats, and any tanking actions from the Beast are player-controlled rather than automatic.

For instance, if a 30% defense debuff is applied on an enemy while the party has a 30% attack buff, the net increase in damage is remarkably lower than the expected 69%. That said, there are workarounds, especially with the large variety of buffs on a Troubadour.

Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (Video Game) / int_6b7c9f96	comment	The Lost Woods: The first four strata in this game and the remake The Fafnir Knight (each based on a season, thus carrying over a Seasonal Baggage), as well as the Bonus Dungeon, are of this kind: Ancient Forest is Summer, and is rife with stone ruins of which only some pillars and walls have survived the test of time; there's a bat-like species of F.O.E capable of flying over those stone ruins, which makes escaping from them more difficult (especially since, this way, they can move through different rooms freely whereas explorers can only use the doors); lastly, the remake Fafnir Knight adds a second gimmick in the forms of thin floors the explorers can use to temporarily trap monsters. Auburn Thicket is a Forest of Perpetual Autumn, and has many floor tiles that are harmful to the player's characters, though it's possible to mitigate the damage with skills. Among the F.O.E. present are Baby Salamanders which spew fire as soon as someone enters their line of sight, and they're the children of a larger Salamander which is a Skippable Boss. Frozen Grounds is Winter, thus being a Slippy-Slidey Ice World with slippery frozen water and ice blocks used for puzzle solving. Petal Bridge is Spring, blessed by cherry blossom trees and inhabited by the Birdfolk; this stratum's earlier floors bring back the damaging tiles, and these are even more harmful than in Auburn Thicket. The latter floors, meanwhile, have hovering platforms that allow players to pass through large chasms and reach distant areas. The Forbidden Wood, only accessible after the game has been cleared for the first time, has the looks of a serene, beautiful forest. However, it houses the deadliest creatures gathered by the Overlord, and as you progress you'll find some harmful obstacles like damaging floors and fog. Also, since the forest consists of floating islands, the teleport spots will take you to different islands depending on the time of day (the islands have their own orbits, after all).

The main issue is that they also summon a core that casts an elemental attack that grows stronger for every turn the core is alive, so you can't just ignore it or it will become too strong to handle. The cores have a non-trivial amount of HP, so you're going to need to take time off the main body to fight it, and the dragon can regenerate it periodically during the fight. All this, while the dragon continues to harass you with deadly attacks. The Great Dragon is the worst of them all, sporting 72,000 HP and a core with 13,000, on top of sky-high Strength that can one-shot your more fragile party members. You have a Guest-Star Party Member to help you out, but she's so poorly optimized she might as well be a meat shield.

Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (Video Game) / int_7b7965dd	comment	Boss in Mook Clothing: A specific random encounter in the final floor has 10,000 hit points, more than five times the number of hit points of the next strongest random encounter, and 3000 more than the strongest FOE the game has to offer. Said random encounter also has a multihit attack on your entire party what will usually OHKO any of the non-tank classes, as well as a skill that prevents you from using any of YOUR skills. Said random encounter also holds the dubious distinction of being the only FOE or random encounter in the game that is immune to Instadeath Skills (most Bosses are immune), and the ONLY enemy in the ENTIRE game that is immune to Stun. If you're particularly unlucky, this also appears as an ambush while harvesting. In pairs. The Fafnir Knight remake retains this random encounter in all its overpowered glory, and made it stronger, with over 30,000 HP, and a Desperation Attack that can destroy the party when it approaches death. A quest needs you to hunt one. One of the guaranteed ways to get it to spawn also gives that enemy ridiculous Action Initiative. And there's a conditional drop to boot.

It can be increased by retiring those characters which resets their levels but ultimately increases their level cap by 1 per retiring. Yes, you need to retire your characters 29 times plus one last time to give a maximum stat bonus to finally reach their level cap.note If you want to do the math, that means you need to raise your character to 69 + (29 x 55) + 69 levels... that's 1733 levels. The Fafnir Knight eschews this complication by simply having the Elemental Dragons raise the party's cap upon their defeat, like in all games from III onward.

Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (Video Game) / int_9ce6492a	comment	Beasts were built around Taking the Bullet for the party, but there were a few pitfalls in the programming: First, their Loyalty made them tank hits automatically, and second, they would take the damage the defended member would have taken, without taking into account the Beast's own defense. This meant that instead of a party surviving a non-lethal Herd-Hitting Attack, the Beast could take all hits that are destined for its allies and die as a consequence. Also, when it moves to defend a Glass Cannon or Squishy Wizard, the Beast would take damage higher than it would if it were attacked directly. The Fafnir Knight reworked the Loyalty skill tree — Loyalty Mastery passively gives a chance for the Beast to halve incoming damage so that they can tank effectively, damage calculation during tanking now correctly uses the Beasts's own defense stats, and any tanking actions from the Beast are player-controlled rather than automatic.

The last question asks if the monster's name is Briareus; the answer is actually "No", because the boss's name is misspelled in the Japanese-language prompt. However, the question didn't have a failure state due to an error, so when the puzzle was translated, the misspelling was assumed to be accidental and got "fixed". While The Fafnir Knight gives Briareus (now Hecatoncheires) a different puzzle, the Origins Collection remaster of the original fixes the question and also misspells Briareus's name in English.

However, compared to V and Nexus, The Fafnir Knight went a little further by also adding DLC quests that feature Legacy Boss Battles against bosses from the previous Untold, new postgame-strength boss fights, and an extra floor to the Bonus Dungeon featuring a new Superboss called Ur-Devil.

Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard (Video Game) / int_f2227354	comment	Powers as Programs: Like in the first game's remake, Grimoire Stones allow the equipping characters to access skills outside their normal skill set. These stones are normally generated in combat and each stone only carries one skill, which is usually drawn from the one generating the Stone or may contain an enemy skill. They also can be equipped and swapped around your party outside the dungeon, and Grimoire Stones can even enhance a party member's innate skills beyond the usual cap of 10.
