Snake him away, toys.
Rules:
- This is a low level run of zombero's hardtype mod: romhacking.net/hacks/3299
- The aim is to keep XP gain as low as possible without affecting my sanity.
- Hard mode, obviously
- No stat boosting items
- All other game mechanics are fair game!
Hardtype changes:
- HP: 4800 → 6600
Mizuchi is one of the least affected bosses in hardtype. Even his HP is barely buffed! So why the long wait then? Well, real life intrusions aside, this was a truly tedious grind point as I was adamant that I should get early access to Debilitate. In the vanilla game it would be possible to morph Void Force in the Naga encounter at the start of this dungeon, but thanks to the janked skill changes this doesn't seem to be possible (or if it is, it's astronomically unlikely). After several hours of attempts I eventually gave up on this and elected to try upgrading Megido instead, with much more success.
Getting Debilitate here isn't exactly necessary, I only persisted because I'd already sunk so much time into trying. Now I know how the skill changes are busted I'd probably hold off here and maybe get it from Recarm later on (the 2nd Specter battle would be a good candidate). Anyway, what's done is done, and it will definitely be a big help against some upcoming bosses as it looks like this mod is about to get pretty wild.
As for Mizuchi, Mind and Ice immunity are king as usual. Unicorn acts first and comes with Patra in case MC gets panicked. I ingested Hifumi here so he can learn Tornado and Force Boost before taking on Kin-Ki. The resulting roast is pitiful to behold, he doesn't even get to say all his dialogue.
