Soon, I may do a run-through Miasmon and record notes as I play. Here's a list of things I'll be writing down:
- Trainers (name, "type" [Average Girl, Flower Girl etc.], arsenal, monster names + levels)
- Treasure (this will be just a list of what is in each area; there are no maps for me to add treasure locations)
- Areas (what NPCs, trainers, monsters and treasures are there)
- Monsters (starting stats [from blue Mias-machine], body types, skills [from Mias-machine "swap skill" list], evolution families, elemental resistances from Miasmon stat screen)
Is there anything else I should be noting?
Also, does anyone know how exactly these things works:
- Totems: In my playthrough, I got the Water Totem and turned a Cyannymph into a Sirennymph and a Protonculus into a Hydrosimos. I'm guessing certain monsters can be activated by certain totems and the totemnal evolutions follow a path separate from the normal Essent-Transient evolution routes. Can anyone verify this?
- Skills: In the Bestiary, if you select a monster, you can press the left and right arrowkeys to switch between four tabs. The first contains the usual image + description, the second and third contain a list of skills, and the fourth is unreachable. I assume that the list of skills on tab 2 is for the Tier-1 options and the list of skills on tab 3 is Tier-2 options. The first gauntlet you get only lets you go up to level 10 so you can't access the Tier-3 options but if you were able to, the fourth tab would contain its skill list. Am I correct here?
