Ota-kun's Rune Factory Archive S2 Sequel to the 1st page, I just decided that I should make myself an archive while I play these games to trigger future nostalgia

11/06/2024

Rune Factory 3 Hell Episode 10
- Raven was actually a half-human, half-monster like me with her being a phoenix
- Cleared the scripted enemy encounters so that I can keep beelining to the boss (knowing that I'll die a lot for this boss battle)
- Thanks to upgrading my gear, damage is high enough to start defeating enemies in the Winter Dungeon

11/06/2024

Rune Factory 3 Hell Episode 9
- I now get to do the Fall Dungeon (lorewise), just beelined to the boss room to get to the part about cooking a salted char
- De-Fluffing Festival ez 1st place again, just back the beeg woolie into a wall and thrash them
- My monster identity gradually getting exposed to the bachelorettes

11/06/2024

Rune Factory 3 Hell Episode 8
- I'm still collecting lumber to fully max out the number of barns and furniture, the barn upgrade ramps up iirc until the last upgrade with 200 lumber
- I started fighting Skelefang (Summer Boss) at 9:30pm and lasted 10hrs (10mins irl), my god I didn't expect that fight to be that long
- I'm mass producing turnips not for money but for the random skill lvls and stats I gain from the runeys and blue orbs that appear when I harvest something

11/06/2024

Rune Factory 3 Hell Episode 7
- Pia continuing her quest for vengeance against squidkind, a normal tuesday for the town
- Still wondering if my current stats and gear is enough to pwn the Summer Dungeon Boss
- Won the Fishing Frenzy Contest by a landslide, a whopping 42 against Shara's 12

11/06/2024

Rune Factory 3 Hell Episode 6
- I actually like the detail that when shopping the characters even have lines when you don't buy anything, especially Karina since it's Karina
- The Fall Dungeon is nice because it has ores to mine from at the very first room, giving us access to silver early on
- Also started getting woolies not because of more earnings (It's actually not great for many reasons), I just wanted a complete set of cows, sheep, and chickens in these farming games

11/06/2024

Rune Factory 3 Hell Episode 5
- I hit so hard I can defeat the first enemies of the Fall Dungeon, skipping an entire level curve, still not enough for Winter Dungeon enemies though
- I'm using different types of weapons because each has their own skill lvl, with each giving me raw stats
- It doesn't hurt to pass out if you're broke anyway, free revives

11/06/2024

Rune Factory 3 Hell Episode 4
- Started this a week before ep3 came out, shocked that I already beaten the Spring Dungeon in 3 hours
- Got myself a barn, forge, and crafting table to start grinding the skill lvls and get good gear too
- Same as the normal playthrough, getting 4 cows is a great strat for making money fast and good consumables too (Ice cream, eventually Flan)

18/05/2024

Rune Factory 3 Hell Episode 3
- With the early income I got from my foraging, I bought some early gear and a fireball to be more formidable to the spring dungeon monsters
- Marjorie doesn't charge you if you haven't beaten the Spring dungeon boss yet, so you can die as much as you want before advancing
- I actually won the Bean Throwing Festival on the first try, I thought I had to save scum for this one
- I remember now why I take Shino early in my old playthroughs, She hits so hard at the start and it's hell mode even, compared to my chip damage against the boss

18/05/2024

Rune Factory 3 Hell Episode 2
- If you charge the seeds tool but only plant 1 tile, only 1 seed is consumed but it still awards the skill xp of worth of 9, a great exploit that I'll be using for awhile
- It's important to raise as much skills as you can as they are also a source of stat boosts, as levels will matter less at the endgame
- The sleep skill xp is awarded when you don't sleep past 1am, but the full recovery is granted as long as you sleep before 6am. The stats from the sleep skill help a lot in the early game so I'll stick to staying up before 1am

Rune Factory 3 Hell Episode 1
+ Start of RF3H playthrough, Difficulty: Hell, Goal: 100% Completion (all 38 steam achievements)
+ Don't include openings in video cuz copyright
+ Duration of vids is 1 hour, 1200 Kbps video bitrate, 160 audio bitrate
+ RF3H means no holding back, I'll be using all the tips and tricks that I know to achieve this playthrough's goal

- Once I am able, I'll change the difficulty to Hell mode and never changing it back, The Mystery Maze is gonna kill me
- The tutorial itself has many things to exploit, one it pauses time and, two it doesn't deplete RP, meaning I can pretty much ship the entire field and get early lumber
- My first strat to earning money is to forage for hidden items around the 4 seasonal caves as the found items sell for an average of about 1k-2k each, which is a lot.

This Archive S2's current progress:

̶•̶ ̶R̶̶u̶̶n̶̶e̶̶ ̶F̶̶a̶̶c̶̶t̶̶o̶̶r̶̶y̶̶ ̶3̶̶ ̶S̶̶p̶̶e̶̶c̶̶i̶̶a̶̶l̶̶
• Rune Factory 3 Special (Hell Mode)
• Rune Factory 4 Special - Frey
• Rune Factory 4 Special (Hell Mode)
• Rune Factory 5 - Alice
• Rune Factory 5 (Hell Mode)

The PC port of Rune Factory 3 is easier to record compared to the switch so I'll probably be playing the steam version (as well as RF4S and RF5). Steam also have achievements so I have bragging rights

01/05/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 30 [FINAL]
- I like the contrast of the village enjoying the Eating Contest and me rushing a cave to save my fiancé
- Reminder to prepare the vegetables of the 4 statues before the Dragon Cave opens in the next playthrough so that I can possibly beeline to the boss
- Yup, overestimated myself, Aquaticus didn't stand a chance
===========================================
*Rune Factory 3 Special Playthrough Completed (the end goal was to get married), time to play it all again but permanently in Hell Difficulty
*Sofia is my second favorite of the bachelorettes, I'll marry my favorite in the Hell playthrough
*I'll be switching from the switch version to the pc version of RF3S as it's less taxing on my pc (which might also be the same for RF4S and RF5)

30/04/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 29
*Ngl, forgot whatever I was doing last ep, the time difference between playing 28 and 29 was too long
- Proposed to Sofia, she disappears just before marriage, chaos ensues
- Completely forgot the 2nd opening plays after proposal, don't want to be struck down by copyright
- Not really sure if I'm prepared or not, knowing that this is normal difficulty and I breeze through enemies easily

29/04/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 28
- Unity Festival takes place in this ep, wherein I run around town with Kuruna to introduce her to everyone, accompanied by their own unique quirks
- With that finished, the main plot goes forward as Wells and Marjorie hands me the recipe for an engagement ring
- I decided to propose on the next ep (whenever that will be) to create dramatic effect and its easier to explain stuff that way

21/04/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 27
- No wonder I don't like Shara's fetch requests
- Another easy 1st place for the Summer Harvest Festival for the literal farmer in the town

20/04/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 26
- I'm just doing whatever I can before Autumn 1 because the main storyline is locked to the Amity Fair
- Right now I just upgraded to the gold tier of farm tools, it's still not the highest (plat tier that is lv80) but it pretty much trivializes the farming process
- Reminder to give 5 cheese bread to Collette in the next ep, I canceled the request so you have to take it again

19/04/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 25
- As every bachelorette's final mission is to reveal your wooly secret, after the town reveal, those events are altered that makes it less memorable. this is why I like finishing every bachelorette's routes before confessing to the town (I'll definitely be doing this in the HELL playthrough of RF3S)
- Kuruna happy, the townspeople happy, the settlement happy. The Amity Fair will be held on Autumn 1 which is pretty much introducing Kuruna to everyone.
- With that out of the way, iirc, you also now have access to Kuruna's route if you choose to be with her.

18/04/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 24
- Maxed the affinity of 6 of the townspeople, suprisingly Sherman is one of them considering his loved gifts are sandfish/rockfish dishes
- Collecting some ores and other materials to use for upgrading my forging skill, you'll be hearing the forging sfx a lot for the next few eps
- Shara finally assembling the bouquet to win over the settlement elder, Kuruna. I'll hand it over first thing next time once I get it

15/03/2024

- It is time to butter up Kuruna to let that festival happen

14/03/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 22
- I kinda stopped giving presents to all of the villagers, majority of them are LV9 affinity anyway, talking would suffice
- And with that, I have completed all of Sofia's requests, completing all of a bachelorette's request means that you've revealed to them your half-monster secret, and also love duh
- Reminder to continue the main storyline next ep

13/03/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 21
- Man as much as how tedious grinding forging/crafting is, enemies are getting tougher to beat without proper equipment
- Won the Big Catch Festival by a landslide, bet the game didn't expect players to be able to catch fish weighing at 3 digits

08/03/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 17
- I can still manage the Winter dungeon enemies but I guess I should do some leveling and upgrading gear first before I continue
- Forgot about Carlos' Snapper request, I'll probably have the fish beforehand if I wanna take that request again

07/03/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 16
- Carlos being overprotective of his sister, truly one of the brothers of all time
- Defeated the 3rd Boss, lore expands yada yada, on the way towards the Winter Dungeon

04/03/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 14
- I haven't mentioned this but Miss Rutpin (see ep2 description) in RF1 and RFF likes turnips, even Rutpin is just a mixed spelling of Turnip
- Didn't expect the Magic-centered boss (the blue lion) to hit so hard, I need to ramp up my magic defense
- I took Shino with me because she's LV25 from the start, which really did not help at the fight at all (she fainted immediately)

03/03/2024

Rune Factory 3 Special Episode 13
- If it's not that clear, Raven is a half-monster like me as well
