Crystal Project 38: Dummy and the Old World

There's two things we take care of here. The stupid dummy in the main city and exploring the Old World thanks to our gardening via Gabriel.

The Dummy is another AoE physical attacker, so slap on that Rogue secondary for the dodge stance and blinds and an Assassin's Cape on the third non-tank character. I put a Quintar Pelt on Muriel, who would have to eat the Bloodspiller, so she swapped to Beatmaster to wear the Quintar Pelt to null the bleed. The Training Sword is nice, but it comes pretty late in the fight. Like the Master Materia, it goes well on a Mimic sporting a secondary you haven't invested in.

In the Old World, the Periculum is dangerous because of Hazard Stance and Mist Stance primarily, killing you on a counter and shutting down Magic damage. Unreactable, Effigies and Hope's Cross can negate the Hazard Stance. Stone and Mist Stance you can just get around by timing when to use abilities, and I got around Stone Stance just by relying on DoTs to put in work. Pain Spreader is another AoE physical, so get some immunity gear on and Rogue Secondary, which is also helpful to stop Dark Overtures. You can't dispel the stance, despite me thinking we'll be smart and try that at one point. So, combine the two common strategies we've been employing for bosses (Instant Kill avoidance and AoE minimization) and defeat the Periculum (make sure to magic down or Shell up)!

I may have swore at one point when I made a mistake. All that's left is the tree, the labyrinth, the castle and breeding a Golden Quintar.
