Tip #1: FUCK SAKUYA! She's as useless as shit in this game. Drop her and replace her with China for now. Try to be around level 7 before facing Chen. And be sure to get Rumia later on.

Tip #2: focus on China's ATK and DEF

Tip 3: ???
Tip 4: Walkthroughs here: http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Labyrinth_of_Touhou:_1F

Chen should be around 6-7. Don't listen to >>3974134
Sakuya's power to boost everyone's speed is INVALUABLE. Speed up and make attacks much faster than your opponent.

If you're having trouble with Chen, continue with main quest and get Cirno first, then come back and freeze dat cat.

Also, don't bother with EVA, it's broken.

Also, use Princess Undine on Chen for massive damage due to CLD effect.

the art is fucking horrible, do not fucking want

>>3974115

What the fuck is wrong with her face?!

Anyone got a download link?

I found some on Doujinstyle but after downloading them it still keeps asking for the next .rar part

>>3974238
yeah man, noone can equal ZUN's art

I mainly used China as a support tank and debuffer. Her attacks suck pretty hard later, so forget about her atk.

I'd also recommend to always take Reimu with you. Mass PAR attack, okay damage, awesome buffs, group heal and not too bad defensive stats make her a great party member.

Thanks

>>3974254
It's moe!

With China you can spam Remi's tier two spell and not have to worry about getting jewed with Paralysis, should make the fight easier.

>>3974270
Pic related.

>>3974346

Damnit, powerachiver still keeps asking for the next volume even though i downloaded all 3 parts

>>3974527
Just get the torrent.

>>3974346
I did all of that, then launched the game with applocale, and it crashed about 5 second in, i just get a glimpse of the intro screen and the beginning of the music. help?

halp

>>3974670
Did you install the fonts?

I like ZUN's art. It's like little girl's drawings.

>>3974728
actually i didnt, i just did what was in >>3974346.
Could you give me additionnal details concerning those fonts if you please?

>>3974738
Yes.

Read the fucking readme file included in the English patch.
Also, you should read the translated game manual, because that'll answer a large number of questions you'll later have.

>>3974733
Hmm...

ZUN is the little girl?

>>3974738
Yeah, sorry, I forgot to say install the fonts. They're in the folder after you've installed everything else, just open up your font folder in your Control Panel and shove them in there.

Should work fine after that.

Unless you're running Vista or something, that might screw it up a bit.

>>3974759
そ～なのか～

>>3974754
Thanks

>>3974785
I see you, Rumia, and raise Zork.

>>3974783
It works now, thanks OP.

>>3974797
Oh, I'm not OP, just passing by.

Merry Christmas!

>>3974759
He's a little girl at hearth, just like all of us.

>>3974973
I wish ;_;

>>3974783
>Yeah, sorry, I forgot to say install the fonts
Oh so that's all I'm missing

>Run the game, still freezes.
Huh?

>Unless you're running Vista
FUUUUUU-

>>3975067
Same problem here, freezes right here at title screen.

Any Vistafags fix this?

>>3975091
>It works fine on vista, make sure you set your computer to japanese region. If you did, you need to grab the font files. It should be listed on the troubleshooting page on the wiki.
>According to 3peso's blog, there's some weird error if you try running the game from C:\Program Files in Vista. The stopgap solution is to run it from another drive that's not C: supposedly.

Try those.

>>3975103
Locale and font were fine, tried running from another drive, no dice :(

On the Floor 10-12 bullshit now. I hate stuff like this. Floor 7 warp maze and floor 8 dark mile was bad enough.

eye haet dungeon crawlers but eye loev killer lolis xD

I've installed the english patch fine but I can't get the game running correctly. The program starts with a blank black screen with random pixellated shit appearing for a few seconds and eventually my video driver malfunctions and crashes.

bump

So, are they fixing EVA or what?

Anyone have tips on beating Yuka? Its like she has infinite HP. Either that or one of her moves keeps healing her without actually showing it on the screen.

I removed the sound files so I can listen to other music. Is there an in game way to turn off sound/music?

>>3977049
Wish I could help you, but I'm back on the 5th floor fighting Alice.

Marisa's Master Spark is amusingly strong - focus for her on SP until she can use it at least. I find Cirno and Reimu to be the best characters so far (just finished 4th floor). Chen is also amazing in boss battles, especially if you buff her speed. Rumia also seems strong against single-targets, and Alice seems useful for being able to attack either physical or magical defenses, and also debuffs.

I tend to play until I mess up and accidentally the attack button instead of a spellcard and end up game overing and losing an hour of play time, then rage for about a day, then continue where I left off.

My entire strategy right now is pump Patchy's magic and rape with her then staying alive when she runs out of mana.

You can rename the folder to without japanese characters in it, if it helps.

ZUN should do the art

If you're having difficulties, run through all these ideas first:

http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Labyrinth_of_Touhou:_Troubleshooting

Enough bullshit, here's a ready to go english patched version:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/1o5r8f
http://www.sendspace.com/file/49dqyt

Copy font files in your [x]:/WINDOWS/Fonts and you're ready to go.

>>3977078
She's always the first character of mine targeted, no matter which row she's in. INSTANT DEATH. Unless of course the enemy uses magic.

I haven't seen any strategies that really shine anywhere, except of course for bumping up the speed of Cirno or Marisa a bit (or Patchy, Reimu, or Alice a lot) and spamming AoE attacks and killing everything before they get a chance to attack. That only works for random encounters, though, and bosses have a depressing tendency to one-shot my back-rankers and ignore my tanks until the tanks are softened up enough with mult-target attacks that single-targets can one-shot them.

Does this game contain any danmaku?

>>3977137
No, just dungeons to crawl, levels to grind, and Touhous to collect.

>>3977137
Pure turn based GRINDAN SIMULATOR

>>3977110
Doesn't seem to work...

For Win7 users you need to uninstall your video drivers or have them rollback to an earlier date. At least, that's what worked for me.

Ehh, I think I'll pass until they release a patch or something. I'm getting the impression this thing is buggy as shit.

Are there options to make this game not so loud? Can't seem to find any yet.

>>3978869
Volume control is only available in the unstable 2.06 patch, which the English patch won't work with.

>>3978861
>According to the blog, 3peso seems to be working on a non-Touhou related game first, then is planning to do Labyrinth of Touhou 2 after. When he'd start on that is anyone's guess though. He stated in his second-most-recent blog post that he's still working on bug fixes for Labyrinth of Touhou, especially with regards to the changes made in 2.06

>2.05 changes according to the blog:
>-Able to carry over characters, skill levels and items to a new game after defeating the last boss of the plus disk
>-Change to Nitori's Megawatt Linear Gun
>-Cursor memory when doing level ups (probably)
>-Other bug fixes
>There's no exact details for bug fixes because 3peso forgot what he changed.

>v2.06 "just" added a function to skip spell effects in battle, and a volume control for music.

>>3978907
Now that's a developer I can't trust.

>>3974134
> Tip #1: FUCK SAKUYA! She's as useless as shit in this game.

HAHAHAHA
AHAHA...HAHA....
...Oh, you were serious? Hold on, let me laugh even harder.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Sakuya is one of the must play chars. with a cast of 40, some choices are debatable, but some chars are 100% essential and should always be in your party. Sakuya is not just one of them, she should be near the top of that list.
Dump all her level up bonuses into her speed. That's all she is, a speed battery. Boss fight starts, load up that lunar dial (or The World then Lunar Dial), then switch her out once she's out of sp. Back in to re-dial once she's full, etc.

I'm trying to skill up speed and the stat levels up but the number doesn't increase. Is this normal?

>>3978929
see also:
evasion stat does nothing, due to a bug
standard attacks do almost no damage, due to a bug

>>3979045
Apparently skill ups are a percentage bonus so you might just not have enough speed to begin with to modify noticeably.

>>3979050
>standard attacks do almost no damage, due to a bug
Pretty sure that's completely intentional

>>3979080
>>3979050
Remilia's physical attacks usually do noticeable damage. Maybe not enough to one-shot enemies, but good enough to finish off enemies that survived a row attack usually, and if she's lunar dialed and curse of tepes'd she can do fine in a boss fight even without SP.

>>3979045
Re: speed, it still makes a difference, if a slight one, even if the numbers don't change. Let your touhou level up a few times and it'll make even more of a difference.

>>3979050
Yeah, Evasion should be the most important thing to fix, shit is stupid that only the player can miss, makes characters like Chen even worse.

>>3978907
>>3979050
>>3979123

Oh. Sounds like a lost cause. Downloading anyway.

>>3979346
The only people who'll be attacking physically SP-less are Remilia, and maybe Yuugi. Wriggle has a good ATK stat and pointless (and unpredictable status effect), so she serves as a good SP-less attacking meatshield while others strikers (i.e. Chen, Sakuya) recover.

Once EVA gets fixed, Chen will become the fucking BEAST to everything that doesn't have sky-high DEF.

>>3979346
It's still kinda fun to waste time in, but it feels really shoddy. Like this box.

what are the buttons mapped to? I'm slapping my keyboard to try to start.

>>3979447
z does everything, x backs out of menus, a opens the map in dungeon.

>>3979050
>standard attacks do almost no damage, due to a bug
>implying you would use standard attacks anyways with so many characters with full SP pools to chose from.

>>3979458
I know you would because you are an SP miser.

Standard attacks are useful. When you don't want to waste SP killing the last enemy, or have a buffed character out of SP, but would only get one shot off if you Focused. You could get 3 regular attacks off in the time it takes to Focus and use a spell.

>>3979453
Mine do nothing.

>>3979492
Compact keyboard?

>>3979513
normal white windows keyboard.

Game works fine, but for some reason, The stats don't show up and i get an error when i try to save

any fixes?

>>3979958
Nevermind i fixed this myself, sorry anon

Ah god damn it, cant this to work, the menu shows up, but after that is just black screen.

>>3980188
http://touhou.wikia.com/wiki/Labyrinth_of_Touhou:_Troubleshooting

Does this not run on vista at all? I've done everything from the previous posts, including trying to run it in a place that's not C: but whenever I run it, it's just a black screen with my video card flashing rapidly. After that my video card crashes and gives me a message saying that it broke.

Is there any solution to this? I don't get my new windows 7 computer for a few weeks and I don't feel like waiting.

WHAT

I didn't even realize there was an English patch, I've been playing this with ATLAS all this time (at 19/20F now). How fucking long has this been out? After the initial release, /jp/ hadn't been talking about the game until the last couple days, so I'm guessing it must have just come out?

Looks like I still need to stick with the Japanese wiki though for the point in the game I'm at.

The game is a pain in the ass near the start in regards to boss fights, frequently grinding is all you can do; you just don't have enough characters to swap in and out, adequate equipment choices, or SP totals, to do much in the way of strategy.

Of course later in the game you still have to grind just to make the boss fights remotely possible (even with good strategy) and massive grinding is required if you suck and want to just steamroll the boss

>>3980394
The translation has been out for over a month now.

How did you manage the Rinnosuke fight on floor 18? Does he change into rape mode after a set of rounds or is it bound to damage?
I find myself unable to survive once he enters his final form.

>>3980339
I'm playing it on Vista without any problems. Try updating your video card drivers or running it under Japanese locale.

I just started this. What level should i be at when fighting China. Tried it when most characters were at level 3 and i got my ass kicked

Playing on Windows 7, no problem whatsoever.

Should I bother getting Suika, or does she suck?

WTF IS THIS SHIT FUCK

REMILIA IS UGLY AS HELL WTFUCK CANT UNSEE
FUCK THIS GAME RIGHT TO HELL FUCK

>>3980451
Look at China. Besides, still better than ZUN.

>>3980457
Yet even ganster Remi from the original is better than that.

>>3980454
Meiling and Remilia were in a game that was released over seven years ago

>>3980449
She's like Yuugi except lower damage and health. She can power herself up a lot though.
I already had all the parts when I got to her so it shouldn't take much time.

>>3980457
Yet even gangster Remi from the original is better than that

>>3980451
argh FUCK, patchouli is uglier. must resist... must try the game... must not puke..

>>3980473
Might as well go back to Yggdrasil Labyrinth. At least the character designs are cute.

>>3980451

Too poofy. But in general, the art uses very sharp, defined shapes where they probably shouldn't be.

Mokou is tough... Should I just try to stunlock and nuke her? After her rebirth thing she wipes me out. Or am I supposed to kill her before then?

I can honestly say I've never seen art like this before. That's surprising.

>>3980518

Fire resistance. You need it. Give some bomb rings to Reimu.

>>3980405
After you finish the 6 elemental forms and he goes back to his (final) non-attribute form, he only has 200k HP left, just burn him down. Starbow Break, Master Spark, and Gugnir finished him off for me. The Japanese wiki scared me into thinking he'd one-shot my characters like Mokou does in her final form, but I guess he just spams that one attack and it eventually overwhelms you; I took one hit from it and it didn't even kill Marisa (who had already Sparked anyway) and barely scratched a heavily buffed Remi.

The wiki reccomends level 90-110 for the fight, I grinded until Remi was 90 before trying it (I've kept her in my party nearly 100% of the time for max XP). During the fight the main key is keeping buffs up as much as possible (Reimu/Yukari) and burning down each elemental form pretty fast (they have around 230k or so HP I believe). It might have just been luck, but he never used that nasty non-attribute all-target attack during the elemental forms on my successful attempt (on a previous attempt I lost too many of my offensive characters early, each form dragged on a long time, and he kept mixing in that nasty attack). Don't even try debuffing him, I dumped Komachi from my party after the first attempt; also defensive stats are quite valuable, you can seriously reduce his damage with defense, Komachi sucks here.

Stick with durable characters, except for Marisa and maybe Chen, who won't be staying in play very long. Patchy or Suwako will get destroyed by the all-target physical attacks. I used Tenshi (virtually invincible) and Meiling for tanks; Remi, Suika, Flan, Chen, Marisa as my only attackers; Sakuya, Yukari, Reimu, Ran for support (tossed an attack or two with some of them also), and Minoriko (+Reimu and Meiling) for healing. He bullshit one-shotted Minoriko and Chen with single-target attacks when they were in the back, but they were the only characters I lost.

>>3980449
Suika is one of the rare characters who's a physical attacker with higher magic defense than physical. I really don't even use Yuugi anymore (been a long time since I fought a boss that's weak to fire), she dies too easily to magic, and is much slower than Suika.

Suika is garbage against random enemies, but she's one of the more useful physical attackers against bosses (and there aren't many characters out there with *powerful* wind attacks, Aya's attacks are prettty crappy)

>>3980518
I spent an entire afternoon trying to beat Mokou, she's bullshit. The majority of the fight is just tedious, not even hard, then she obliterates you if you don't do 80k damage to her immediately after she enters her final form (which doesn't even deplete her gauge that much, and wipes all your debuffs on her). I had to pull out a calculator and keep track of her HP total (and remember she auto-heals for 16k EVERY TURN she gets) and prepare to burn her down (Master Spark + a couple more attacks) when she reached her final form. The problem is, swapping in Marisa too soon would result in her getting one-shotted by Mokou's normal attacks, so I had to be ultra-careful. One time I swapped her in too late and Mokou blew me away before Marisa's turn. Another time I did it too early and Marisa got a turn right before Mokou, had her focus (BAD MOVE) depleting her gauge too much so Mokou again blew me away before Marisa could Spark.

>>3980429
Make sure Sakuya has enough SP to use Lunar Dial. Have your starting group be Remilia, Sakuya, Marisa, and Patchy in that order. After Sakuya Dials, switch her out for Reimu, then use Reimu's buff and use Reimu for healing. And have Marisa use her MAG buff, switch her back out for Sakuya when she's out of SP (magic missile is good enough if you don't have enough for Master Spark). Patchy should use the one that says you shouldn't expect to OHKO enemies with high magic defense, and you should have Reimu focus on healing, since Meiling has a good physical defense but poor magic defense. Remilia is mostly there for soaking up hits, so if you feel lucky or are sure Reimu will be able to heal her fast enough before Meiling can attack again, use the curse.

For level, don't worry about it too much, as long as Sakuya can use Lunar Dial.

>>3980454
>Still better than ZUN

I like ZUN better than this. But still I continue. Why?!

>>3980545
Thanks. Looks like I have to grind a little more.
His elemental attacks still onehit most of my damage dealers and those who survive have to be switched out right after because the next one will kill them. I did most of the fight with Remilia and Reimu only because I lost the other characters in the middle. At the end, Reimu couldn't keep up with healing, buffs ran out and SP was too low to keep going.

I didn't use Marisa since lvl 20 or something, I hope master spark is worth it.

>>3980658
actually Master Spark didn't do very impressive damage against his final form, even with full SP and a big magic buff, I almost thought he was still in his MYS form (which was annoyingly the last elemental form he used, it was the most dangerous to me) which looks similar. Spark did like 100k, Starbow Break did 65k, Gugnir did 45k. I sparked several times during the fight though so it was definitely useful (used Marisa right at the start so she could get a speed buff, then also sparked two of the elemental forms... did 200k damage to his SPI form).

Marisa was one of my most useful characters for random battles, until 15F, where everything started being resistant to her; Spark is handy for nearly every boss fight though (except resistant bosses like Yukari)
