I am fairly new to the game (started in late April), and I have been trying to do the iria quest. I am stuck on episode 0 find shamala.
It seems like I can't do any damage at all to the ascended Python, and it one hits KO me. shamala as the black panther was supposed to assist me, but she Just stands there and does nothing.
I tried it more than 10 times and still can't get more than 10% of its HP bar down, does anyone have any tips q.q
I thought ep 0 was introductory and not supported to be this hard
Thanks!!

The difficulty of each episode varies wildly. Some are short and easy, some are long and annoying, some are just difficult.
In fact, Episode 1 is the longest, and Episode 10 is the shortest and one of the easiest. Episode 7 is the second shortest, taking only about 5 minutes (+cutscenes), and does not require the player to fight anything, making it easy enough to complete even with a brand new character. So, you don't have to worry about things getting progressively more difficult.
Now, if you want to move forward, there's no downside to skipping Episode 0. It isn't required to receive the "Watch Entire Saga" reward box, and doesn't contribute much at all to the story. I think you'd be fine starting with Episode 1.
Thank you so much!! Do you know how to skip the episode?
I think It's fair to note that Episode 0 was originally classified as THE Generation 17, which meant if you had gotten through Generation 16 just fine, it was assumed that you should probably be able to handle 17. If you're fairly new and your character is not very developed, you may have a bit of difficulty handling this, however it's not impossible. I survived it years ago when I was still a little new and completed it using archery and hit and run tactics. I wouldn't recommend that.
I guess that brings me to the question of where you are currently in the game. Have you worked to build up your character?
Lastly, in terms of story, Ep 0 introduces you to some of the cast, themes, and general setting present in the episodes following, so in that sense, it does contribute. The manner in which it was handled was inconsistent in certain aspects, though, but that's another topic.
My highest rank is still expert chain slash, and somehow windmill barely does any damage to it q.q
I just really want the Pegasus that's why I jumped in first
Ah, just a note: Your total level determines the difficulty of missions. The categories are: Under 100, 100-300, 300-1000, and Over 1000. If you level up to 1000 to quickly, the Saga Missions can become very difficult for you, until your skill ranks catch up with your level.
Getting a good pet with a decent A.I. might also work to deal with that giant python. Although it has been a while since I've last done that mission, I do remember it being a bit of a struggle, even for all of my «game-master» accomplishments, and I can most-certainly load up one of my newer characters in order to video-record that particular mission in order to make a tutorial out of how it can be most-easily completed, but I will need a few days before I can get one produced (probably). Meanwhile... depending on what other pet(s) you may already have... feel free to use one of the A.I. linked in the following spoiler.
Just go to This Thread About Pet A.I.s and follow its instructions in order to obtain A.I. that may be right for your pet !
It sounds like you might have trouble dealing with some of the enemies present in certain instances that require combat, however, therefore you'll wanna develop tactics that'll help you survive and/or take up more skill sets than just Chain Slash.
EDIT: Oops, I forgot to link to this page on solo battle tactics if that also helps.
