Etrian 1:Development Oversights

Development Oversights entails spelling errors, translation errors, bugs, glitches, and other aspects of unintended gameplay. This page covers Etrian Mystery Dungeon 1 for the Nintendo 3DS.

Beneficial Glitches

• Have a Sovereign that knows Fire Arms, Freeze Arms, or Shock Arms. When you use one of these buffs on a party member, it increases their ATK by 3 each time it is used on them. However, when the buff wears off, their attack is only reduced by 3, regardless of how many times you applied the buff to the party member. As a result, if you repeatedly use one of these skills on a character without allowing the buff to wear off between uses, you can permanently increase their ATK.

Harmful Glitches

• In the final dungeon that is part of the Post-credits story, Champion's Hall, there is a dangerous glitch that can crash the game mid-dungeon. If you fight a DOE in this dungeon on B10F or lower, the skill they use called Golden Lure can crash the game, counting as a party wipe.
• The Sovereign class can miss when applying Order buffs to themselves, even though they never miss other party members.
