57 minutes in and I already cleared tanzer

I actually had to reload about 15 minutes when I realized that just picking up Roufas in Shrike after starting the Rune quest in Devin would railroad me into doing Tanzer, I had run back to Koorong to grab him a DefendWear before raiding Sei's tomb and got stuck without the Magatama, leaving me with TotalShot as my only multitarget.

This turned out to be for the best however, as when I reloaded back to the save that was still in Shrike and did the 3 DeadKnight encounters, one of them dropped a TwiggyRod(!) and with the Magatama in hand I was able to blow through HugeSlimes without any trouble.

Of course, I juked through the entirety of Mu's Tomb and Tanzer without any encounters other than one stupid bird that camped the drop point from one of the sphincters.

I'm sort of a little tiny bit upset every time Slime forces his way into my party, since Riki is typically my favorite go to monster guy, but I think it should work out, since my final teams will end up being
A-Team:
>Emelia, Annie, Liza, Asellus, White Rose
B-Team:
>Fuse, Roufas, Zozma, Riki, Slime

Now I just need to figure out the best way to push Berga's shit in before I start the next part of the quest.

I'm thinking AngelArmor+JetShoes should let me blitz all the encounters leading up to him if I can get my hands on a quick and dirty sword tech like Headwind or TripleThrust, but the fight itself requires that you bring a variety of attack options, so I might have to figure out something a little extra like GlassShield or SoulRune, though I don't think you can actually get to Fascinataru without doing it as part of the Time quest, and I'm not gonna deprive any of my swordsman of the chance to learn LightSword.

Still,
>Emelia starting her quest with 50 HP
