Rf4 has such a rich story and interactions, I was surprised! Especially because I played it after Rf5. I'd be happier if it had same sex marriage and I couldn't finish one of the main quests because the place they sent me was too hard to pass through, so I stopped playing. But the latter could be my problem, maybe I didn't grind enough. In any case, it's a really fun game and I'm considering starting again!

You can get a mod off nexus that lets you have same sex marriage off of nexus it’s just the bath houses aren’t switched but outside of that it’s good

and if Runa Prana was the place you were struggling with it’s just designed for you to kill enemies— get their gear and then use the crafting to progress

I don't know how to respond here ^^"" I hope tagging works.
@Amir Omg thank you so much for telling me about the mod, I owe you my life!!!

I don't remember the name but from the pics I'm seeing it was probably Rune Prana, yes. I think I was on the second level. My problem wasn't even the enemies, there were stuff that damage you on the floor and I couldn't avoid them at all, as if there was a wind that push me towards them, and they did a lot of damage, I kept dying no matter what. I couldn't find what to do online, some people were using amazing armors so they didn't hurt them but I couldn't get the materials for those armors because I didn't finish that part or the other maze (which was also quite hard). It became frustrating so I stopped playing...

@megicchan

it’s fine but LMAOOO ik what you’re on about with the wind stuff or the things that pop out the floor that basically insta-killed you

What I did for that is I recommend crafting that accessory that makes it so no enemies spawn on screen so you can take your time getting through that

Also there is a request which you’ll get from Eliza that gives you a Rune Crystal— if you don’t have one already. When you get that Rune Crystal you can Craft a diamond brooch which gives you resistances to everything and would last the entire game. If you’re impatient there are other brooches with single resistances that could mitigate that as well, but the diamond one is good enough to get you through all of Runa Prana.

Also you could try summon a typhoon with your Prince/Princess points and go to the bridge south east of Secrezeo Hill’s entrance and grind the typhoon boss fight with the escape exploit to get a decent amount of mealy apples.

Then just put those into your armour when you’re crafting with object X to get a load of resistant bonuses to make you survive more lmao.

It’s true tho I was replaying it literally last week and had to go from Hard to Normal mode because I needed to finish Replaying 4 before 3 Special just came out and that dungeon is unforgivable in the difficulty spike😭😭

I don’t know if you’re that aware of how the crafting in Rune Factory works but if you aren’t i rec this 8 minute video since it’s insanely deep but this goes through it rather quickly, but if you know how it works then you’re good
