Your Chronicle – Demon Lord Guide

Farm seeds, XP and research with ease (Requires Demon Lord).

Summon Types

To start, there are essentially four kinds of party members.

• Unsummonable – Includes Norn, Chaotic Brain, Brutal Right Arm, etc. Basically the Summon attack that the demon lord has no effect on these characters. They won’t help you for this strategy. Though there are a few who are perfect for non-combat slots. For example Norn with her double XP. Or sludge slime for extra research drops.
• Regular Summons – Any normal creature you have unlocked fits in this category. As far as I can tell they have the same drop table as their normal dungeon counter parts. So any item they can drop will drop from their summons. They also drop research and seeds as per normal.
• Rare Summons – These behave largely the same as regular summons with one caveat. Most rare summons have exaggerated drop tables. Which makes farming those items a lot easier.
• Boss Summons – Boss summons have a unique distinction, they will never drop research or items. But they DO have a unique advantage that more than makes up for this. Bosses have both a guaranteed seed drop rate and the highest XP drop per kill of any creatures. The stronger the boss, the more XP & Seeds you get.

The Basic

This guide assumes you can beat the demon lord, preferably in two hits or less. After my 4th game, I can beat the Demon King in one hit with [You]. The trick is to finish your attack just after he casts summon. As a Warrior with about 12.7% faster attack speed, my total casting time is over 3.8 seconds. You want your attack time to be longer than his summon cast time.

Next, fill all combat party slots with creatures you want summoned. You’ll want different setups at different times. I’ll list three common ones later. Remember, the Demon Lord can only have 5 in his party. If you take [You] out of combat, you won’t get a 5th summon. I’m not sure if it’s random which one is left out. But you lose at least 1 summon if you bring 5 summonable party members.

As for your non-combat party slots, choose supporting members that help you. If you need an Attack boost then grab an all status member. If you are farming research then grab either drop chance or drop amount members like Sludge Slime or Queen Bee. If you are farming seeds you’ll want drop amount from members like Wyvern and Soldier Bee (not drop chance as you’ll see later).

Again the whole goal here is to kill the demon lord right after he casts summon. And if he doesn’t cast summon, who cares. He casts it right away most of the time.

Three Common Party Setups

Research Farming:

Most creatures can be used for research farming. Items that increase research drop amount and chance are helpful. Tamer has good abilities for this. Use extra party slots to improve drops.

Item Farming:

Check the Bestiary to find creatures that drop items you want. Put them in your party to farm those items. You can farm any item you need this way.

Seed and Experience Farming:

Boss creatures always drop seeds. You can increase the amount of seeds dropped. Using certain boss creatures, you can gain about 4 million experience points per hour.

Mixed Farming:

You can combine different farming types. Use your four party slots to farm multiple things at once.

Useful Tips & Tricks

This is a good way to get early sin in your first or second game. I played before on the web, but had to start over. I spent extra time to increase my gluttony to 1000 for the third eat slot. I think it was worth it. While doing this, I used the demon lord to improve my research and max out my available summons. I also got many of my summons to their seed limit.

I didn’t know how good bosses were for getting seeds then. This gave me a big advantage for my second game. I barely got 2 sins for my first game when I reached 1000 gluttony and got the third slot. Most of my research came from Supernova party losses. This method needs active play and many 1-hour dark rituals for gluttony. You might want to stop at 500 gluttony instead. Another benefit is that you get a lot of Inspiration this way.

XP Persists through Reincarnation

Getting a lot of experience early helps in later games. In my first game, I got 2 sins after raising Gluttony to 1000 and getting about 30 million XP. I knew from before that I wanted to unlock Greed and Sloth.

In my second game, I didn’t do as many dark rituals or raise Gluttony as much. But I still got 3 sins by farming the demon lord overnight. Today, I finished two games (mostly catching anchovies while at work). I got 4 sins in this game. Each new game is faster than the last and gives me more sins.

Easy attack boost

After your first reincarnation you have the option to stay in the Village and farm anchovy sandwiches + pork. With 2 eat slots just farm & pork away.

Sloth

If you slot your current dungeon (Demon Lord, Dim Cave, etc) into your sloth loop your will get a much faster restart. Roughly 2-3x faster by my observation.

HotKeys

Alternatively you “can” hotkey two dungeons and then hit the two numbers in rapid succession to near instantly restart the fight. So say I hotkey Dim Cave to 1 and Demon Kingdom Fort to 2. As soon as you defeat the Demon King hit 1 –> 2 as fast as you can. The fight will start over. This is also a great way to get the Norn wolf kills in the beginning.

Evil Eye

I… severely underestimated how powerful this one is. At 5k levels I was at 550% dark ritual bonus. Get this quickly and sink some seeds into it.

Spending Sins

Best time to spend your sins is right before you reincarnate. You get a +10% boost to Dark Ritual & Sacred Ritual per unspent sin. Obviously spend them where they are useful. On my second reincarnation I snapped up the 50% multiplier to Instant, Loop & Dungeon rewards. They are just too powerful. And I grabbed the 50% to greed after my 3rd reincarnation once I was done farming anchovy sandwiches.

Power Boost

Defeating “The Destroyer” guardian gave a huge boost to [You]’s level. Makes farming the Demon Lord that much easier. Was weirdly way easier than the Vast Dessert too. Which I won’t claim to understand.

Dark Ritual Often

Come up with some easy party setups for doing a dark ritual. I have a party for the dark ritual itself and then my current dark lord party. Queue up the highest boss dungeon you can 1 shot with Sharp Spike for a minute for some easy levels in Miracle Stone & Lucky Rabbit’s Foot. I usually update the routines after about 15 minutes to setup will & warrior routines. This will yield a constant flow of Inspiration while you grind the demon lord.

What should I buy first with Sins?

• Your first priority should be buying Sloth and Greed in this order. Sloth first because it will help you getting your second reincarnation faster.
• After you buy Greed you should use you next sin to buy Dungeon+, Loop+, Instant+ and Gluttony+ in this order.
• Now that you have the most important Sin purchases you can now wait until the end of your reincarnation to buy anything on Akashic Records, this way you will get more inspiration since holding on tho Sin gives you inspiration gain.
• Your priority should be buying Class inheritance asap so, you should hold 7/7 then buy the extension, hold 14/14 sin and buy Class Inheritance by the end of that reincarnation.
• Now just finish up buying Habit+ and Stat+ and you’re ready to tackle the second Guardian.

How do facilities & movement work?

There are several Facilities that require “Movement” to enter. Movement can be obtained by clearing arena rounds (also increases movement max), progressing through an unlocked facility, by reporting back to the guild after clearing a request, and certain actions when you “Go deeper” into or “Steer clear” of the slums.

These become available when you defeat certain opponent in the arena and talk to them, but each class has one available by default.

Municipal Library: Clear Tournament 1, talk to Egil (Sorcerer default)

• Requires lots of Destiny to clear. Rewards: Destiny max and regen.

Cooking Workshop: Clear Tournament 2, talk to Nali

• Requires gold, ingredients, & elemental energy to clear. Rewards: Cooking recipes.

Monster’s Laboratory: Clear Tournament 4, talk to Lofarr (Tamer default)

• Requires boss research to clear. Rewards: Increase to research drop amount.

Knights Training Area: Clear Tournament 6, talk to Iari (Warrior default)

• [Note: You should not expect to clear Tournament 6 as a new player]
• Requires stamina, destiny, stone statues, & statues of muscle to clear. Rewards: Stats, Destiny, Exp.

Orphanage: Clear “Enter the Slums” and “White-haired girl 5/5”

• [Note: Avoid the Orphanage until last. It is the most difficult to clear and gives back the least amount of movement.]
• Requires various foods, manure and Destiny to clear. Rewards: Destiny max and Regen
