Onyx Cave mission Guide

Dear Patrons,
the Onyx Cave mission can be challenging and what you require is the right preparation and a battle plan.

If you can figure it out yourselves, I think it is more fun. Maybe after beating the mission you can come back here for some extra insight... or to tell me how you got it done better ;)

Anyway, if you require assistance or for whatever reason, below is what I like to call... the guide to POWA!

So here we go with some tips on how to beat the Onyx Cave mission. (attached is also an image with some screenshots)

1 - PREPARATION.
Once you use the Enter Code "Sun", you will have full lust energy, a bunch of items and attribute points that will help you in you mission.
Attribute points.
Apply the attribute points. Remember, every 4 points give a character a bonus (Eg. END 4 gives your character +1 to HP), so you want to aim for multiples of 4 (4 8 12 16 20 24 28 etc).
The most valuable attributes are, arguably, STR for warriors and POW for magic users. (Eg. for Demonica focus on STR and for Maria focus on POW). Take Maria's Regeneration skill, it heals all party members for 3 turns. Now with POW at 12 for example, that means 3 extra HP being healed for each member of the party for 3 times/turns. That is a total boost of 27.
The only exception is Micia as she focuses on DEX (+ crit rate / - miss / + dodge) instead of brute strength, so keep your focus on that for Micia.
Ramset, you will notice that he has no attribute points to apply, but if you go to the Guest Rooms in the Sun Palace after you have acquired him of course, you will find him next to Lust and Hottie. If you click on him a sex scene will start that will give him +1 attribute each time. Once fatigue is at max, you have a bedroom next door to sleep and recover.
Lust Energy.
It is recommended to upgrade Lust and Hottie's skills using lust energy. Most important of all is the basic AOE (hits multiple targets at once) flame skill Hottie has. To gain for lust energy you can simply play any sex scene that involves Lust and/or Hottie.
Items.
Firstly, remember to use the HP elixir (permanent +5 max HP) and to equip Lust's armor for some extra defense.
Secondly, you will notice a bunch of items that can be used to craft potions. You will be able to use these potions during the mission. So head out to the Monastery's Brewing Shack and have Maria craft you some healing potions (there are 2 kinds you can craft).

2 - BATTLE PLAN
Be sure everyone is fresh so take a nap just to be sure and once you start the mission, the first thing you need to is divide your forces into 2 parties. Both will engage in the mission. 1 will be lead by Lust and 1 by Hottie.
Party Selection.
In Lust's party I would put Demonica and Micia. All 3 are good single target fighters.
In Hottie's party, since Hottie has AOE skills and actually ends up facing more enemies then Lust's party, I would put Ramset who has a very cool and cheap AOE special attack and Maria for some healing support as well as the occasional whip attack.
Battle Tactics.
Overall, remember not to go wasting special attacks, not to get your Fatigue at max. You will have to face the Hell Lord at the end of the mission. Also, remember that you can use potions during the mission (both during battle and out of battle by clicking on the "backpack" icon, although I do recommend to use your potions out of battle when possible).
While doing the above keep in mind the following, only one party will face the Hell Lord and 2 slots will be reserved for Lust and Hottie, you will have to select the 3rd member (I recommend Demonica or Micia depending on their status HP wise etc).
The nmies you will face are of 3 kinds: Demon Whore (single target fighter with high HP), Demon Slut (single target magic user), Demon Bitch (has some armor for extra defense and performs an AOE spear attack). The Demon Whore and Slut also have some very nasty special attacks, but they do require 1 turn to charge (the charging animations is quite clear so you will know that they are coming).
For Lust's party, focus on 1 enemy at the time when facing multiple opponents, just keep attacking.
For Hottie's party I recommend using Hottie's AOE flame skill and Ramset's special AOE skill. Maria will heal as needed and can use her whip attack when HP is at max or when you see a chance to finish an enemy off. Regarding Ramset, if there is only one enemy left, switch to his normal attack. Lastly, if you know you only need 1 hit to finish the battle and you still have to use all your characters, if needed, this could be a good chance to use one of Maria's healing skill one last time before finishing off your remaining foe or foes.
Boss Battle.
Before the final battle, you might want to use some potions (before clicking on the red animated teleport "bubble"). The battle with the Hell Lord will see Lust, Hottie and a 3rd character of your choice (as written above I recommend either Demonica or Micia) engaged in battle. So make your choice and start the battle by clicking on the Hell Lord.
Initially the Hell Lord will be underestimating you (he doesn't even stop doing what he is doing to 2 girls... you will see) and he will only do a relatively soft attack targeting either Lust or Hottie (he focuses on the challenging Demons). During this part of the battle, a vert good skill you can use is Hottie's Immolation (if you have enough MP left), which is a very powerful single target skill. The Hell Lord also has the ability to call Demon Whores to assist him in battle and will continue to do so until he realizes that you are no joke (aka his HP is around 50%). At this point he will get angry, get rid of the 2 girls and do a special attack that will destroy any Demon Whore (they have failed him in killing you and he is just angry as...). From this point onward things get real and the best approach is to finish him off quick before he has a chance to kill you. here is where you should be popping the special skills you have been conserving.

That is pretty much it, if you follow the above you should have no issues in completing the mission successfully. We wanted to create a mission that upped the challenge level a bit and make the whole battle part of the game a bit more entertaining.

I hope that this guide was useful and that you enjoy the mission ;)

Cheers ^^
