Mad Princess: The Great Gladiators – 초보자 가이드 및 팁

A guide that may help as a reference for learning how to get the most out of Mad Princess: The Great Gladiators.

소개

Mad Princess: The Great Gladiators is a “Gladiator Training RPG” set in a fantasy world that appears to be loosely based on Roman-occupied Europe. The player takes control of a convict whose punishment is to be enslaved and forced to fight in gladiatorial matches against beasts and other gladiators but is soon given a measure of freedom after being taken into the training camp of a noble in the empire. 여기에서, the player can explore the land and participate in gladiatorial combat to raise the money to pay off their debts, eventually earning their freedom.

While there are many story events, some of which are mandatory, the game becomes much more open after the first few in-game days. This guide is meant to be more of a reference than a walkthrough, as many events can be done in various orders as long as the requirements are met.

초기 게임

During the first few days of the game, the player is slowly introduced to game mechanics and the setting through a linear chain of story events. The player starts with only a sword and basic armor (방패, 갑옷, helmet) and must fight at least once per day. It’s best to always do the easier fights first to gain XP, then make use of skills to survive the harder fights. 며칠 후, more options are added to the available fights, but these more difficult options are not mandatory as long as you fight at least once or twice a day.

In addition to fights, it is possible to spend money to upgrade equipment. On a first playthrough, this may help greatly in surviving the early game and unlocking the other weapon types.

On the final day of this section, the player is forced to perform a team deathmatch with one of the other convicts. (Refusing will just delay this event and prevent friendship gain.)

At the end of this section, Lutharia will recruit the player to her camp. The player is taken to Lutharia’s base, which becomes a home base for the player for the rest of the game. The debt of 1,000,000 gold is introduced and the player is given a level of freedom to go out and seek work to raise these funds.

Notes on the Main Story and Coliseum

The main story of the game often takes place in cut-away events that depict the leadership of the local branch of the empire. These events take place automatically as time passes, potentially locking off certain event chains if not started early.

게다가, some characters and events will not begin until a certain amount of time has passed since the start of the game or other events are seen.

The coliseum always has the option of fights against beasts (either solo or as a team), but themed tournaments are timed events. Aside from the final tournament at the end of the main story, tournaments are missable.

통계, 수업, and Equipment

The basic stats for the player are:

• HP, amount of damage a character can take
• 활기, a percentage value that affects attack damage and is used for skills
• 힘, the base damage of the character
• 지구력, the base defense of the character

All stats except vigor raise with level, which is raised by gaining experience. Vigor is always capped at 100%.

The player’s class is determined by their current weapon. The player starts with a sword but can gain other weapons throughout the game. Each weapon/class has its own skill set.

• 검: 전사 (can use shields)
• 창: Velite
• Spatha: 해커
• Saber: Saberist
• Large Ax: Axer
• 삼지창: Retiarius
• 절하다: Archer
• Mace: Samnite (can use shields)
• 건틀릿: 싸움꾼

In addition to weapons, the player can equip armor. This includes the main armor piece, a helmet, and potentially a shield (based on class). Each armor piece has its own skill from a set tied to that armor slot.

When a new piece of equipment is obtained for a slot that is already filled, the player gets several options on what to do with the new equipment:

• Trade the old equipment for the new equipment
• Use the equipment to boost the attack/defense of the equipment being kept by 1 (up to a limit per equipment tier)
• Sell the equipment for gold based on the equipment tier

Aside from the attack/defense, 기능, and potential special effects on a piece of equipment, there is also a tier based on the player level. Each tier sells for more gold, costs more gold to buy, and has a higher maximum attack/defense.

New equipment can be purchased from a specific store in the city, but the cost becomes high very quickly. The best way to acquire new equipment is by using keys to unlock chests in dungeons.

Partners also have the equipment, but cannot change their main weapon. Their gear can be upgraded when acquiring new equipment. If their friendship reaches ~900 or higher, they may also allow the player to freely swap equipment with them.

Time and Resting

Time passes as the player moves and with certain actions. Some characters will change locations based on the time of day, and some services are only open during certain hours.

Resting at an inn is the main way to recover vigor, and it also passes time. Most inn rooms have an hourly rate based on the quality of rest, but not all rooms are available in every town. The player’s room at Lutharia’s base is always free.

Items and Stores

Each town usually has a trader (lets the player sell items) and a number of specific merchants. Each merchant has a set list of goods that will refresh after time has passed. Some towns also have special merchants or activities that grant items.

There are many types of items, though most can be consumed for healing or thrown in the battle for damage. Using items in battle does not end the turn.

There are some items that are special to exploring dungeons, many of which can be found at “장비” merchants. 이들은:

• 열쇠, which unlock chests with equipment in them. Better keys are needed for better chests.
• 폭탄, which are used for mining.
• Hammers, which are used to make new paths in certain dungeons.
• Shovels, which are used to dig up fields and gardens.
• Torches and Herbs, which are used to light up dark areas or reduce vigor damage from dungeon effects.

There are also some special versions of dungeon items that have stronger effects, as well as unique items that grant specific bonuses when in the inventory.

Taverns and Requests

Many towns have a tavern or equivalent, which usually has a food merchant (“주문하다”) and the option to “Buy Food/Alcohol”. Buying food/alcohol will spend some time and grant some friendship to all characters in the tavern.

Taverns and some other locations also have a list of requests. These are optional missions that have a time limit but grant gold and popularity for completing.

• 탐구: Reach the specified area of the specified dungeon.
• Elimination: Defeat the specified enemies in the specified dungeon.
• Delivery: Collect the specified items. May collect some or all items before accepting the request.

After the objective is complete, the request can be completed from the request menu, even without returning to town. Any delivery items will be removed. Failing to complete a request in time will lower popularity.

Debt and Training

Paying off the debt is a major aspect of the game, with a number of benefits early on. The debt can be paid in 10,000 gold increments or to the next threshold in Lutharia’s office.

The first few payment thresholds will reduce travel time between nodes on the world map, while the second-to-last payment will upgrade the bed in Lutharia’s base. The final payment unlocks “Initialize”, the option to reset all training points.

Training points are gained from leveling up and completing “tasks” listed in the character and training screens. They can be used at Lutharia’s camp to upgrade certain stats or gain specific bonuses to things like weapon skill damage or item damage.

Travel and Dungeons

To reach other locations, the player must travel on the world map. Left-clicking will set a waypoint (allowing for complex paths with multiple clicks), while right-clicking will clear the waypoints. Some locations are locked by story events, but land travel past these locations is still possible.

Every node that does not have a town or dungeon will trigger a battle against beasts unless the player has a specific item, but these battles can be run from at the cost of vigor.

Within a dungeon, the player’s goal is to reach area 10. Each area has an infinite number of randomly generated rooms, with each room linking to 1-2 other rooms. Each room has certain features or effects, each with a star rating. Every interaction with these features increases the progress through an area, which spawns the exit to the next area once a threshold is met. Some features always trigger (beasts or ailments) while others must be interacted with (가슴).

After reaching area 10, filling the completion meter will clear the dungeon and the “보호자” will appear in rooms. Fighting and defeating the guardian will mark the dungeon with a checkmark on the world map. Returning to a dungeon will reduce the threshold for progress between areas for all previously-finished areas, making repeat trips quicker.

Friends and Partners

The player can befriend most named characters, including some not involved in the story. (Some major characters do not appear in places where you may speak to them.) 하지만, some characters’ friendship meters will lock at certain thresholds until certain events are seen.

The main ways to befriend characters are to talk to them and give them items as gifts. 첫 번째, the player must find them in town (available characters in the top right corner) or a sub-area in town. The player may also duel characters and buy items from them.

Once characters reach a certain friendship level [unconfirmed level] or join through story events, they may be taken on as a partner, replacing any current partner.

Some characters can become “comrades” through story events. These characters will appear in most towns or inns, allowing quick swapping between these characters as partners.
