Legend cheese made even easier

[sSGuiSs]

[MAJOR SPOILERS HERE]

Haven't seen anyone online talking about this, tested it myself and worked, doubt it'll ever be patched. So I found a way to make the Legend difficulty cheese even easier, for people - like me - who from certain point of the story on just couldn't help but continuing playing the story, not leveling up enough and getting yourself ready to be able to pass through the last dungeon on the hardest difficulty.
You're probably aware of the cheese of switching to legend difficulty at the "point of no return" - the moment you have to talk to Okita in the barracks to depart to Tosa. Now I've found a way to only "switch" it before the actual final boss, and the trick is: you still have to change into legend before the point of no return, but now you're going to take advantage of the automatic feature of the game of switching to easy everytime you die twice to the same encounter; when you say 'yes' when the game asks you if you want it to change to easy, it only changes temporarily - and this 'temporary' is until that very fight is over. All you'll have to do is each time a new encounter starts, you die twice, accept changing the game to easy, kill the boss and the next time a cutscene triggers it'll automatically switch to the difficulty you originally started the encounter - Legend. This way you can go through the entire dungeon on easy, keep your entire inventory of healing items to fight only Takechi himself on Legend (which, if you ask me, is not the hardest encounter).

Hope this helps!

Wait, so you can "Try Again" even when you're on Legendary? Man, I thought after dying you go back to the main menu. Cool, thanks for the tip!

 

Edit: Yep, works like a charm! Legendary isn't that difficult itself but it can be quite annoying. Works on patch 1.06

Yeah I can confirm it still works, I just used this cheese method today (5th June 2023).

 

Takechi was not a hard fight on Legend difficulty but it was nice to have a full inventory of healing items for the fight.

 

Thanks for the tip!

Glad it still worked for you guys!
