Recording my trek through Galleria's post-game.
Rue
Labyrinth of Galleria! Where the post-game asks several questions:
+ What are you willing to give up?
+ How badly do you want this for her?
Rue
+ How do you feel about a nearly four-thousand floor randomized dungeon?
+ With entirely new debuffs?
+ So if an empty room came to life and started gunning for your ass would that be fucked up or what.
+ Betton's here too.
+ By the way whole segments of the floor you're on can randomly just vanish into nothing suddenly. Start running.
Rue
This is apparently post-patch, too.
Ghost Scientist
four...thousand?!?
Rue
The original game at launch didn't have elevators (to skip chunks of floors) or indicators to tell you where a wardrobe is.
Ghost Scientist
NIS I know you're fond of The Grind but yowza.
Rue
Apparently it took 40 to 60 hours while speedrunning.
Rue
They're really making me work for this happy ending.
Rue
It's truly the "Do It For Her" dungeon.
Rue
I've ground out a lot of soul clarity (stat build), but reaching the post-game brought up the level cap to 999...
Rue
... and also that previous grinding doesn't mean a thing if you end up on a floor that reduces 95% of your stats down.
Rue
i'm
Rue
i'm just

Rue
oh, i also didn't mention
Rue
if you don't find a wardrobe, leaving the dungeon means your progress is reset
Rue
MAY LUCK REALLY AND TRULY BE IN YOUR FAVOR
Rue
('wait, do you really have to reach the end?' oh absolutely)

I gotta hand it to the devs for really making you earn the happy ending and being self-aware enough to tie a major emotional payoff to all that effort.

Four thousand, you say?
Rue
3651 floors, to be precise.
Rue
But considering the number of inevitable retries and what a specific number that is, may as well round up!
Gray
Ah, well.
Gray
Good luck.
Gray
Rue
Haha, thank you. I've made it to floor 1210 so far at least, though I'm worried my strategy is going to bite me in the ass about it later...
Rue
(I'm trying to imagine a version of this that didn't have elevators and clutching my head in despair.)
Rue
ok ok ok yeah, this strategy's got juice to it
Rue
(it will probably bite me in the ass later)
Rue
"what's the strategy?"
Rue
so, ok
Rue
hear me out
Rue
the spoon items picked up throughout the game will prevent enemies from spawning in
Rue
you can't do anything about the ones when you spawn in fresh
Rue
but the effect seems to carry over when you proceed a floor
Rue
so no enemies will be present on the following floor and you can safely explore as long as it is up
Rue
(the catch is, of course, there will be no enemies)
Rue
(but to be fair, if the floors continue to slam me with -95% stat reduction and healing down, I'm not sure how much fighting I should be doing anyway)
Rue
i picked up the max amount of these suckers playing through the game naturally babeeey taps the walls with the remaining 73 silver spoons as i run through

Rue
WAHAHAH
Rue
... okay but I should grind though, lmao. I made. A dent into the final boss, but then they wiped the floor with me.
Rue
Note to self: The final boss cannot be stunned, so remove any skills pertaining to that nonsense to free up points.
Rue
The nice thing is that there's two wardrobes: one at the final chunk of the labyrinth (for grinding/items), and one on the final boss layer.
Rue
So you don't need to push all the way back up each time.
Rue
BETTON NO I JUST FOUND A TREASURE ROOM
Rue
ok ok ok, upgrading gear is doing a lot for me just getting through the labyrinth itself as is
Rue
so ideally I shhhouldn't have to do too many soul transfers or anything
Rue
and just focus on alchemizing my gear
Rue
I am working on supports at least, but my main guys... I'll see how they fare after just upgrading gear and leveling some new pacts.
Rue
"I feel like you're going to beat this game before we go on vacation."
"... that's the plan!!"
"But then what will you do on the plane???"
Rue
I
Rue
I did it

Rue
(I'm not posting the post-credit art, because spoilers, spoilers.)
Rue
But god, what a wild ride that final boss was lmao.
Rue
I grinded enough that I could clear the first two phases easy
Rue
but the third phase...
Rue
... largely came down to luck. Because they had attacks that would just regularly take out most of the brigade.
Rue
I basically wiped like
Rue
six times.
Rue
I got them down to low health several times!! I saw the red flash!!!
Rue
BUT WHAT WON IN THE END
Rue
WAS,

Rue
CRITICAL THRUST KICKED IN ON MY LAST ATTEMPT
Rue
I got to the third phase and then it... blacked out to the victory screen.
Rue
And Angie and I went, wait, what?
Rue
So I recorded video
Rue
and lo and behold
Rue
truly a win for gender all around
Rue
(that's the facet that is intersex)
Gray
Gray
Nice!!!!
Gray
Good work, intersex thief with a knife.
