Was playing Crimson Shroud on the #3DS but there's one part of the game where you need to grind for a random drop and after like 6 identical battles I'm willing to drop the game entirely.

@mvu I think I only played for like 2 hours as well.

The only mandatory grind I remember was in a cave? I stumbled around for far too long and gave up, looked around in the net.

@mvu

Why on earth did they make this mandatory item only drop from one enemy, only have that enemy be a reinforcement, and only have it reinforce in that battle if you defeat the enemies in a specific order?

I of course always focused down the archers, which prevented me from ever seeing that enemy.

@tudsamfa I figured I softlocked the game somehow and looked up a guide too, and then proceeded to fail to find the item even with a guide.

Neat game otherwise, but yeah not worth this repetition.
