Everything else will be updated sparingly whenever the time arises, don't hold your breath ;) O============================================================================O | (00000) Full Walkthrough (000Q0) | O============================================================================O Opening note: At virtually all points at which you fight a boss enemy who can be defeated simply by critically wounding (but not killing) him/her you should do everything in your power to bring this enemy down to 0 HP rather than taking this route. Doing so will allow you to recruit a special character at the end of the game. Along these same lines whenever you fight a battle with an ally or other character whom you are assigned to protect, even if you don't get game over when they die, you should do everything you can to keep them alive. Often in such cases, they will join you afterward. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Porta | (00001) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Soldier | | Level.............1 | | Level.............1 | | Level.............1 | | HP..........128/128 | | HP..........123/123 | | HP..........120/120 | | MP............40/40 | | MP............40/40 | | MP............40/40 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o In this battle you start out with the two default characters. You should keep in mind that Viser is of a much higher level and therefore he is the one who should be placed in danger before the main character. He can not only take more punishment but can easily dish out more damage. If you can get both the main character and Viser beside an enemy you can hover your cursor over the attack button and press right to execute a double attack between them, the damage from this attack will surely be enough to take down any enemy you are facing here. Also keep in mind that your actions are determined by AP. If you move too far you cannot attack, however if you don't move at all you can attack more than once each turn. Once the three enemies have been defeated and you have not, then the battle is over and the mission is complete. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o \____________________________________________________________________________/ <== CHAPTER 1 - The Fading World ============================================> /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ On the world map press triangle to bring up the menu and select the town option. Head to the Guild and ask about quests once, then again. On the second time you'll talk to a person, invite him to come and Mercator joins your party. Next you ask and accept the traveling merchant quest. Other than that everything else is basically a tutorial of the game you pay for. At level one you aren't likely going to get a reward out of arm wrestling or helping with the landslide since you aren't strong enough. o-- Shop --------------------------------------------------------------------o | | | Short Sword......................750 Bokutoh..........................720 | | Mumei...........................1450 Dagger...........................680 | | Short Bow.......................1430 Stone Axe.......................1220 | | Spear...........................1090 Javelin.........................1890 | | Leather Glove....................720 Rivet Knuckle...................1090 | | Oak Staff........................670 Stone Rod.......................1110 | | Lead.............................630 Copper..........................1100 | | Cap..............................460 Pointed Hat......................590 | | Cloth............................590 Toga.............................540 | | Charm............................650 Power Mittens....................750 | | Oak Shoes........................670 Antidote.........................520 | | Eyedrop..........................520 Vigor Seed.......................550 | | Badge of Courage.................780 Whistle..........................780 | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o When you're ready to proceed with the game selet the Eumaneia icon. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Eumaneia | (00002) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank...........Soul | | Rank...........Soul | | Rank...........Soul | | Level.............1 | | Level.............1 | | Level.............1 | | HP..........110/110 | | HP..........110/110 | | HP..........112/112 | | MP............60/60 | | MP............60/60 | | MP............60/60 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank...........Soul | | Rank...........Soul | | Rank...........Soul | | Level.............1 | | Level.............1 | | Level.............1 | | HP..........110/110 | | HP..........115/115 | | HP..........124/124 | | MP............61/61 | | MP............60/60 | | MP............64/64 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o There are six spirit enemies to battle here, all six of them are pretty much the same. Fortunately you won't have to take them all on by yourself. Soon after the battle starts two more party members join the fray, Grey and Adara. Grey is a spear user which means you can position him two panels away from the enemy and still attack, this is good to keep in mind. Rather than having Adara attack normally, have her use the Shock Blast skill as it is much more powerful than her physical attack. Spero should be strong enough normally to take out almost any enemy on his own, especially if you upgraded to the Mumei blades at the shop. With all your party members you shouldn't have trouble. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o Once you're back on the world map there is a new location you can visit. Note that if you are approximately level three, you should now be able to successfully do the Landslide quest without failing miserably. Also be sure to do the arm wrestling competition as well. When you do you'll make some money and Cody will join your party. Just for the sake of completion you might want to just listen to all the other quest lectures as well, they're not very expensive at all. When you're ready to go then head to Saxum. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Saxum | (00003) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Axeman | | Rank.........Axeman | | Rank........Soldier | | Level.............2 | | Level.............1 | | Level.............2 | | HP..........150/150 | | HP..........150/150 | | HP..........135/135 | | MP............43/43 | | MP............43/43 | | MP............43/43 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........Fighter | | Rank........Fighter | | Rank..........Thief | | Level.............2 | | Level.............1 | | Level.............1 | | HP..........135/135 | | HP..........135/135 | | HP..........110/110 | | MP............43/43 | | MP............43/43 | | MP............43/43 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o If you've done everything right up to this point you should have a full party including five characters. Mercator the Cleric will act as your healer while Cody is a decent physical attacker. Like in the previous battle Adara is great when using her Shock Blast, Grey the Spearman can effectively attack from two panels away and Spero is just a really really good physical attacker. At the beginning of the battle the three nearest enemies should come running at you while the other three at the top will remain stationary. Let them come at you without moving or anything so they're the ones with no AP left when the fighting starts. The best thing to do like in most tactical RPGs is not to spread your party about but move virtually all five members as one focusing on killing the enemies one person at a time, you'll be able to really thin out their numbers quickly. One thing to watch out for is that you don't use Grey to attack when you have a party member between him and the enemy, you party member will not move out of the way! Finish this battle and another starts. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Saxum | (00004) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name..........Viper Rank.................Axeman Item.......Talisman | | Level.............2 Weapon...........Chaos Edge Item.........ID Tag | | HP..........150/150 Armor..........Leather Mail Item............N/A | | MP............43/43 Headgear.......Cloth Helmet Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o Just a single enemy here, but it's a boss enemy! And your very first one. After the first turn a girl will join the battle up near the boss, she is equipped with a bow. Her normal attack only does a pathetic amount of damage but using her Quick Snap skill you can actually hurt the boss for a decent amount. It's still not enough for her to finish him off herself of course so get your party up the hill and move them toward the boss. Viper is a difficult enemy. First of all you aren't going to want to position anyone around the diagonal panels that surround him, he has the Fear zone skill in effect where anyone standing in those panels will have the Fear status inflicted upon them. His attack is also quite brutal but costs a lot of HP so what you're going to want to avoid is having anyone standing directly beside him as well, this way it will force him to move before attacking and he'll only be able to get off one hit. Make sure you have your Cleric ready to heal at all times and also feel free to use items when you need them. You don't actually have to kill Viper, just get him down to about 200 hit points. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o Be sure to check out all the new quests available at Saxum. There are two quests that actually involve battles, the punks one and the thieves one. After choosing both of them leave the town and head back to Eumaneia. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Punks | (000Q1) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank....................Fighter | | Rank.....................Fighter | | Level.........................2 | | Level..........................2 | | HP......................135/135 | | HP.......................135/135 | | MP........................43/43 | | MP.........................43/43 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o Here you will be fighting against two simple Fighter type enemies and you'll even have an extra Fighter on your side the only downside is that you are only allowed three party members. No big deal though, just bring them into battle and waste those two simple enemies. Defeating them allows Hewitt to join your party and also nets you a cool 500 bucks for finishing the quest. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o When you return to Saxum, the thieves quest comes into effect right away. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Thieves | (000Q2) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank......................Thief | | Rank.......................Thief | | Level.........................2 | | Level..........................2 | | HP......................110/110 | | HP.......................130/130 | | MP........................43/43 | | MP.........................43/43 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank......................Thief | | Rank.....................Fighter | | Level.........................2 | | Level..........................3 | | HP......................110/110 | | HP.......................160/160 | | MP........................43/43 | | MP.........................46/46 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o Once again you're only given three party members to use for this battle but that's okay, just take Spero, Grey and Adara. The most dangerous enemy in this battle is the Fighter as it is at level three. I would say to just ignore the Fighter at the start, don't send anyone after him but instead send all three of your party members down the path, you don't want to split them up. When Orius gets a turn attack once and then have him run from the enemies toward your party. The three thieves should chase after him which is good as it gets them closer to your party. The Fighter will jump down, have Spero take care of the Fighter by himself at this point, he should be able to do it assuming he too is at level three. Actually if you're feeling confident maybe you'll want one of your lesser leveled party members to finish him off since killing an enemy at a higher level than you nets quite a bit of experience. Adara's Shock Blast as always will play an important part in the battle, it's an extremely powerful attack that can be used from a distance, take advantage of this fact. Spero also makes great choice for taking out the thieves. Since I won a Leather Mail from that lottery quest, all the thieves couldn't deal more than one damage to him even with criticals, so it made finishing off the battle quite easy. However you do it, just pick off those thieves. Win the battle and that archer named Orius will join your party. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Montano | (00005) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank...........Soul | | Rank...........Soul | | Rank.......Spearman | | Level.............3 | | Level.............3 | | Level.............3 | | HP..........160/160 | | HP..........160/160 | | HP..........150/150 | | MP............70/70 | | MP............70/70 | | MP............56/56 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank......Elementor | | Rank......Elementor | | Rank......Swordsman | | Level.............4 | | Level.............4 | | Level.............4 | | HP..........160/160 | | HP..........160/160 | | HP..........175/175 | | MP............75/75 | | MP............75/75 | | MP............59/59 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name............???

You're allowed to use six characters which is nice and since you should have recruited at least seven by now then you'll be set. I used everyone except Cody for this battle and it went over pretty well with most of my party around level two or three, though by the end pretty much all of them were dead. Remember the golden rule of focusing on one enemy at a time. Keep your ranged attackers at a distance and have your close-up fighters like swordsmen head in and start slashing at all the enemies. Adara's Shock Blast is effective of enemies like Spearmen but not so effective and magic enemies like the Elementors. Watch out for enemies who use team attacks that's where you'll really get hurt. Never all yourself to have any characters surrounded by two enemies. On the same subject using team attacks of your own, especially against the boss can really come in handy and should help to speed up the battle and give yourself the advantage you need. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o There's a couple of quests available in Saxum, choose the Thieves 2 and Lancer quests then head back to Eumaneia once again to find the thieves. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Thieves 2 | (000Q3) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Soldier | | Level.............3 | | Level.............3 | | Level.............3 | | HP..........160/160 | | HP..........160/160 | | HP..........160/160 | | MP............46/46 | | MP............46/46 | | MP............46/46 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank....................Soldier | | Rank......................Axeman | | Level.........................3 | | Level..........................3 | | HP......................160/160 | | HP.......................166/166 | | MP........................46/46 | | MP.........................46/46 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o Basically this fight consists of you taking out the four soldiers, note there are less enemies and they are at lower levels than the battle you fought at Montano so how you could possibly manage to lose this battle I don't have any idea. The main idea is that you do not attack the Axeman, if you notice he won't chase you at all during the battle, so offer him the same courtesy. Once the four soldiers have been defeated, the Axeman Borque, will join you. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o When the battle is over go to Eumaneia once again to find the Lancer. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Lancer | (000Q4) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name..........Kruse Rank...............Spearman Item............N/A | | Level.............3 Weapon................Cloth Item............N/A | | HP..........140/140 Armor...................N/A Item............N/A | | MP............56/56 Headgear................N/A Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o This is about the easiest battle ever, note it's only against one person and his level isn't even very high. Sure you're only allowed to have two people on the field but just take Spero and Adara. Given the right circumstances Spero will move on the first turn and just kill him right off, Adara won't even get to move. When you defeat Kruse then he will join your party. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Montano | (00006) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Soldier | | Level.............4 | | Level.............4 | | Level.............4 | | HP..........185/185 | | HP..........185/185 | | HP..........185/185 | | MP............49/49 | | MP............49/49 | | MP............49/49 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Cleric | | Rank......Alchemist | | Rank.........Archer | | Level.............4 | | Level.............4 | | Level.............4 | | HP..........150/150 | | HP..........150/150 | | HP..........150/150 | | MP............75/75 | | MP............75/75 | | MP............62/62 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank....................Fighter | | Rank.....................Fighter | | Level.........................5 | | Level..........................5 | | HP......................210/210 | | HP.......................210/210 | | MP........................52/52 | | MP.........................52/52 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name..........Viper Rank.................Axeman Item..Power Mittens | | Level.............6 Weapon...........Chaos Edge Item......Oak Shoes | | HP..........920/920 Armor..........Leather Mail Item.......Talisman | | MP............74/74 Headgear................Cap Item.........ID Tag | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o Another battle with Viper here, although this one is going to be much much harder since he's brought his army with him. You're going to want an average level of five minimum for everyone in your party before starting this battle. Begin by focusing on those Soldiers at the front and then once they've been taken care of go after the Cleric. With the first three enemies out of the way you can see another wave of three ahead of you. Of those enemies the one you want to focus on is the Alchemist as he can inflict negative status ailments on your party like Dark to everyone. Also the Archer can inflict Dark with each of his hits so those two are going t be primary targets. After them you have the boss and two Fighters alongside him which are at a higher level than the rest of the enemies. Try to stand far enough back so you lure the Fighters toward you but not Viper, it is indeed possible to do this. Try to eliminate them so that you can take your entire party and send them after Viper. There are a couple of things to keep in mind when fighting this boss. First of all he can kill just about any party member in a single turn if they are standing beside him. What I mean is that when he uses his special attack he will have exactly enough AP to follow it with a normal attack as long as he hasn't moved, if he has to move even one panel he won't have enough AP to attack twice. For this reason it's always a good idea to attack but then leave yourself with enough AP to retreat one panel away just to be safe. Also note that he still has the Fear Zone Effect in play so never place anyone on a diagonal to him unless you're ready with the Badge of Courage item or Adara's Recovery ability. Adara's Shock Blast does great damage to the boss as does Spero's Wolf Fang skill. The best damage you can get of course is from combination attacks, the combo attack between Grey and Adara is brutally powerful. Even better though is if you can get your whole party in on the attacks. Finally you should know that when the boss' HP gets below 400 the battle will end automatically similar to how it did for the first one. If you can actually KILL him rather than having the battle end while he's still alive (note this means dealing more than 400 damage in a single turn, Team Attacks are needed) then it will contribute to a special bonus later in the game. It has to do with recruiting a new party member, there are other ways to get him that I will cover, so don't worry too much, but if you can, it helps. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o Quite a few scenes follow this battle, so many that it gives you the option to save in between them. After it's all over you'll be placed on the world map again. The first thing to note is that the shop has been upgraded, be sure to go there and pick up some new equipment. After that head to the guild. Choose the Wanted Man and Alchemist Hunters quests. Head to Montano, make sure you have at least one Vigor Seed with you. When it asks if you wish to give the man a Vigor Seed choose yes and Zol will join your party. Same idea for Saxum, head there and choose to intervene. You don't even have to fight and Clemente will join your party. When you go back to the quests menu you should be able to play the lottery, do it and see what you can win. All you really need to do before going to the next area is make sure your equipment is upgraded with all the new stuff you can buy, some fusion wouldn't hurt either. o-- Shop --------------------------------------------------------------------o | | | Short Sword......................750 Broad Sword.....................1500 | | Bokutoh..........................720 Mumei...........................1450 | | Dagger...........................680 Ceramic Knife...................1020 | | Short Bow.......................1430 Long Bow........................2210 | | Stone Axe.......................1220 Hand Axe........................2100 | | Spear...........................1090 Javelin.........................1890 | | Leather Glove....................720 Rivet Knuckle...................1090 | | Oak Staff........................670 Stone Rod.......................1110 | | Lead.............................630 Copper..........................1100 | | Cap..............................460 Pointed Hat......................590 | | Cloth............................590 Leather Mail.....................850 | | Toga.............................540 Clergy Robe......................800 | | Charm............................650 Power Mittens....................750 | | Oak Shoes........................670 Antidote.........................520 | | Eyedrop..........................520 Vigor Seed.......................550 | | Badge of Courage.................780 Whistle..........................780 | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Swamp of Loss | (00007) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name...Experimantal Rank...........Golem: Alpha Item............N/A | | Level.............7 Weapon............Golem Arm Item............N/A | | HP..........815/815 Armor.......... Golem Armor Item............N/A | | MP..........180/180 Headgear................N/A Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o This battle isn't going to be too tough, you'll have control of Avis in this battle. Move Avis away from the large Golem to start. You'll need to move your party across the water, and you should note that your AP drains faster while moving through the water so get to the other side as fast as possible. The Golem is extremely weak against magic and extremely strong against physical attacks. Basically what this means is that Adara's Shock blast will deal more than 200 damage, Linea's Storm ability will also deal nearly that much and these will be your two main offensive sources in the battle. Other than that, when they are attacking simply work to keep people alive. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o After the battle there's some more Guild Quests to do. Let's start by going to the shop and making sure you have one Lead in your inventory then accept the Aspiring Fusionist 1 quest and head to the Resistance Camp. You should get a nice reward. Next take on the Lab Cleaning quest and head for Montano. Tell him you like or dislike alchemy or whatever, either way you get the money. After that you should see a traveling merchant quest pop up. Select it and start running back and forth between all the cities, it seems he will find you randomly (I found him in Eumaneia about ten days or so into the quest.)

Really the only thing you need to watch out for is the fact that the Fighter positioned like the leader has a Zone skill in effect that damages everyone who stands near him... but all you have to do is kill him, and suddenly, that stupid effect is gone for good. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o Next up is the Night Stalker quest, head now to Montano for it. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Night Stalker | (000Q6) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name..Night Stalker Rank..............Swordsman Item............N/A | | Level.............4 Weapon..............Bokutoh Item............N/A | | HP..........340/340 Armor.......... ........N/A Item............N/A | | MP............59/59 Headgear................N/A Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o OH NO! A battle against a single enemy at a level significantly lower than yours! If you're expecting some kind of surprise during this battle don't get your hope up. All you need to do is grab Spero and Grey, have them pound this guy into submission. About the only thing that separates him fro ma normal enemy of his level if the HP total, perhaps twice as high but he will still inevitably fall. Perhaps the only "suprise" could be his HP Absorbs Zone Skill which will syphon the HP out of anyone standing near him on his turn however it just doesn't syphon very much and really won't help him at all. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Quatra | (00008) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Soldier | | Level.............6 | | Level.............6 | | Level.............6 | | HP..........235/235 | | HP..........235/235 | | HP..........235/235 | | MP............55/55 | | MP............55/55 | | MP............55/55 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........Soldier | | Rank......Alchemist | | Rank......Alchemist | | Level.............7 | | Level.............7 | | Level.............6 | | HP..........260/260 | | HP..........190/190 | | HP..........170/170 | | MP............58/58 | | MP............85/85 | | MP............80/80 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank...................Spearman | | Rank....................Spearman | | Level.........................7 | | Level..........................6 | | HP......................225/225 | | HP.......................200/200 | | MP........................65/65 | | MP.........................62/62 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o Just kind of a normal battle set in here to keep things moving, personally I find it best to try and stay on the same side of the river you start for the entire battle. As you slowly pick off guys on your side, enemies from the other side will begin to cross but by the time they get through the water there's no way they'll have enough AP left to attack and it's easy pickin' from there. Be sure to bring Linea and Adara, both of them have powerful ranged attacks so if you run out of enemies on your side of the river you can take aim at enemies on the other side. As usual try to focus on the Alchemists first lest you want to have your entire party inflicted with the Dark status. Just eliminate all the enemies here to claim the win. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Quatra | (00009) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank......Iron Fist | | Rank......Iron Fist | | Rank.........Cleric | | Level.............7 | | Level.............7 | | Level.............8 | | HP..........260/260 | | HP..........260/260 | | HP..........230/230 | | MP............58/58 | | MP............58/58 | | MP............95/95 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Cleric | | Rank.........Archer | | Rank.........Archer | | Level.............7 | | Level.............7 | | Level.............8 | | HP..........210/210 | | HP..........210/210 | | HP..........230/230 | | MP............90/90 | | MP............74/74 | | MP............78/78 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Soldier | | Level.............7 | | Level.............8 | | Level.............8 | | HP..........260/260 | | HP..........285/285 | | HP..........285/285 | | MP............58/58 | | MP............61/61 | | MP............61/61 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name..........Viper Rank.................Axeman Item..Power Mittens | | Level.............8 Weapon...........Chaos Edge Item.......Talisman | | HP........1150/1150 Armor.......... ..Ring Mail Item.........ID Tag | | MP..........160/160 Headgear........Pointed Hat Item.....Vigor Seed | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o Definitely the most difficult battle you've faced so far, you don't even get a chance to save after the previous one so if you lose this fight then you have to fight both of them again. Let's take it easy and leave your party where they start, the enemies will come to you which gives you a good advantage in terms of AP. You should focus on killing the Iron Fist enemies first and then, no matter what it takes, no matter what you do, kill those damn Clerics! Their healing spells will be more annoying in this battle than ever before and you can often find a lot of your hard work erased in seconds if they are left alive to heal the enemies. Even if they aren't conveniently in range, get to them and eliminate them. By the time you have eliminated all the enemies it's time to go after Viper. Unlike previous battles where you had to get him down to a certain amount of HP, this battle it's a matter of you kill him, or you don't. There is no repeat value. Now this battle would be entirely easy if it wasn't for one simple fact, Viper has a Fear inducing Zone effect that surrounds every single panel around him, meaning anyone standing beside him whether it be directly or diagonally is going to be effected by this Fear status. For this reason you need to come into the battle with a hefty supply of the Badge of Courage and also you need to attack defensively. Attack and then retreat at least one panel, also try to spread out your party so when he goes to attack one person, everyone won't get caught by the fear status. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o \____________________________________________________________________________/ <== CHAPTER 2 - Priestess of the Aeque ======================================> /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ Once again there are new items available at the shops so it's definitely something you're going to want to check out. Be sure to upgrade the equipment on all your party members. You should have received the Hero's Emblem from the previous battle which allows your main character to rank up however in order to do so you first need STR 45 and TEC 40 which will likely require a few more increased levels. Be sure to accept the fusionist exam quest and check out the two cheap ones. I'm not even sure how much money you need for the traveling merchant, when I found him he said 25,000 wasn't enough ,so it's more than that. After you've got all the basic ones out of the way select the Imperial Reconnaissance which triggers a battle at the Swamp of Loss. o-- Shop --------------------------------------------------------------------o | | | Short Sword......................750 Broad Sword.....................1500 | | Long Sword......................2260 Bokutoh..........................720 | | Mumei...........................1450 Rakuyo..........................2180 | | Dagger...........................680 Ceramic Knife...................1020 | | Assassin Knife..................1360 Short Bow.......................1430 | | Long Bow........................2210 Composite Bow...................2990 | | Stone Axe.......................1220 Hand Axe........................2100 | | Heavy Axe.......................2990 Spear...........................1090 | | Javelin.........................1890 Halberd.........................2700 | | Leather Glove....................720 Rivet Knuckle...................1090 | | Iron Fang.......................1500 Oak Staff........................670 | | Stone Rod.......................1110 Iron Rod........................1560 | | Lead.............................630 Copper..........................1100 | | Bronze..........................1570 Cap..............................460 | | Pointed Hat......................590 Cloth............................590 | | Leather Mail.....................850 Ring Mail.......................1170 | | Toga.............................540 Clergy Robe......................800 | | Mithril Coat....................1090 Charm............................650 | | Power Mittens....................750 Oak Shoes........................670 | | Antidote.........................520 Eyedrop..........................520 | | Vigor Seed.......................550 Badge of Courage.................780 | | Whistle..........................780 Vigor Nut.......................1830 | | | o----------------------------------------------------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Imperial Reconnaissance | (000Q7) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank....................Soldier | | Rank.....................Soldier | | Level.........................8 | | Level..........................8 | | HP......................285/185 | | HP.......................285/285 | | MP........................61/61 | | MP.........................61/61 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank..................Alchemist | | Rank...................Alchemist | | Level.........................8 | | Level..........................8 | | HP......................230/230 | | HP.......................230/230 | | MP........................95/95 | | MP.........................95/95 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank....................Soldier | | Rank.....................Soldier | | Level.........................8 | | Level..........................8 | | HP......................285/185 | | HP.......................285/285 | | MP........................61/61 | | MP.........................61/61 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank..................Alchemist | | Rank...................Alchemist | | Level.........................8 | | Level..........................8 | | HP......................230/230 | | HP.......................230/230 | | MP........................95/95 | | MP.........................95/95 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o And the streak of relatively simple quest battles continues, coincedentally after one of the hardest battles thus far. All you have to do is defeat these four mediocre enemies. Start by attacking the soldiers and once the two of them have been killed suddenly four new enemies will enter the battle, it's basically just another wave of identical enemies to the ones you're already fighting, so if you didn't have any trouble against these ones it shouldn't take too long to cross the river and pick off the new enemies one by one. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o Now after you've got all quests done you're ready to proceed. Before going onto the next map I've got a couple of tips for you. Normally I figure you can just use the fusion list for yourself however if you're lazy, here's an easy way to upgrade your katanas for Spero and your sword for Avis. For the Katanas go to the store and buy Whistles and two Stone Rods. Fuse the two Whistles with the Stone Rods to get two Talismans. Now go to the store and buy two Iron Rods. Combine the two Talismans with the two Iron Rods to get two Ashuras for Spero which you can't buy at the store yet. For the sword it's even easier. Simply buy an Assassin Knife and Ring Mail then fuse them together to get a Rapier which is better than any sword you can buy. Hopefully this will help for the coming battle. Oh what the hell... one more. Head to the shop and buy a couple Assassin Knives and Badges of Courage, fuse them with each other to make yourself a couple Life Jackets and equip them on your more magically inclined party members. This will really help out. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Hydor | (0000A) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Axeman | | Rank.........Axeman | | Rank.........Archer | | Level.............8 | | Level.............8 | | Level.............8 | | HP..........330/330 | | HP..........330/330 | | HP..........230/230 | | MP............61/61 | | MP............61/61 | | MP............78/78 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Archer | | Rank.........Cleric | | Rank.........Cleric | | Level.............8 | | Level.............8 | | Level.............8 | | HP..........230/230 | | HP..........230/230 | | HP..........230/230 | | MP............78/78 | | MP............95/95 | | MP............95/95 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.......Spearman | | Rank.......Spearman | | Rank.......Spearman | | Level.............8 | | Level.............8 | | Level.............8 | | HP..........275/275 | | HP..........275/275 | | HP..........275/275 | | MP............71/71 | | MP............71/71 | | MP............71/71 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank......................Thief | | Rank.......................Thief | | Level.........................8 | | Level..........................8 | | HP......................230/230 | | HP.......................230/230 | | MP........................61/61 | | MP.........................61/61 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name...........Jade Rank..................Thief Item......Fur Boots | | Level.............9 Weapon..........Main Gauche Item.........ID Tag | | HP........1320/1320 Armor.......... ..Ring Mail Item.....Vigor Seed | | MP............86/86 Headgear.......Cloth Helmet Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o The second chapter starts you right away into a difficult battle. Unlike previous battles there are more conditions here than just keeping your main character alive, you've also got to keep that axe guy in the upper corner alive as well. When you first get control of the guy you must absolutely not in any way try to engage the enemy, the safest thing you can do is jump down directly into the water and start running. This battle isn't going to be as difficult as you think, here's how to win. Totally ignore the boss and the three enemies surrounding him. The Archer near the boss will continue to pick on your new axe wielding friend however his defenses are great so he'll be able to withstand upwards of fifteen hits from the bows. Move him gradually to the opposite side of the screen from where he started but not in the direction of the boss. By the time he reaches the stairs leading up your party should be there and ready to heal him. Speaking of your party they should start by taking out the nearby Spearmen and gradually work back toward the end. As you do this you'll eventually end up with just the one sole Archer up top shooting down on the axe guy and probably another Archer following him. You should have defeated two Spearmen, two Axemen and a Cleric. Split your party into two, climb the stairs and take ou the Archer on top then have the other group go down and eliminate the Archer who is following axe-guy. When this is accomplished, the battle just ends. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Evarate | (0000B) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Soldier | | Level.............9 | | Level.............9 | | Level.............9 | | HP..........310/310 | | HP..........310/310 | | HP..........310/310 | | MP............64/64 | | MP............64/64 | | MP............64/64 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........Soldier | | Rank........Fighter | | Rank......Swordsman | | Level.............9 | | Level.............9 | | Level.............9 | | HP..........310/310 | | HP..........000/000 | | HP..........300/300 | | MP............64/64 | | MP............00/00 | | MP............74/74 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank......................Thief | | Rank...................Alchemist | | Level.........................9 | | Level..........................9 | | HP......................250/250 | | HP.......................250/250 | | MP........................64/64 | | MP.......................100/100 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o This is a pretty straightforward battle here. No boss enemies, just a number of normal enemies coming at you here. You'll probably find the Soldiers are the most dangerous of all of them in terms of offense so it may be wise to focus on them, as well as the Alchemist. Have one person from your party branch off to kill the fighter on your right and have everyone else slowly approach the soldiers, but only a couple panels at a time until the soldiers move themselves. On the next turn you'll be able to attack them freely while their AP is low. Magic spells work great, as does Spero's normal attakc if you've upgraded your katanas. Your new character, Gallant, is also effective. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o Once again the shop has been upgraded so it's a good idea to go there and see what new pieces of equipment you can purchase for your party.

Choosing to rest will trigger a battle while "keep moving" will not. It's up to you. If you do choose to stay you've got a difficult battle ahead of you, that's for sure. You have to face off against seven of these evil dog spirits from hell. Each one of them is equipped with a spear meaning they can attack from a distance and not only that, if you get surrounded by two of them they will use powerful Team Attacks. Here's what I recommend: since you automatically start with Linea and Adara at the bottom, take Spero and choose Grey for his partner at the top. Spero and Grey should do pretty well on hteir own and Adara and Linea should be able to hold their weight for awhile, but likely they'll be overwhelmed eventually. Have Adada and Linea focus on the nearest enemy to them, Adara should still be using Shock Blast while Linea's normal attack is best. The reason for this is she can attack twice and two normal attacks will be more powerful than either of her specials. Have Spero and Grey move slowly so that the enemies approach them rather than Vice Versa. In my case I had upgraded Spero's weapons to rank four like I described earlier so his normal attack dealth over 150 damage. This really came in handy when they walked up next to him, he could kill one of them in a single turn. Even if this isn't the case and he has to move, that's why Grey is there, to help clean up the leftovers. Eventually you should have both parties try to come together, but by that time there probably won't be much left of Adara's group, and most of the enemies will be dead anyway. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o By this point your party should be at, or near level eleven and it will only take a short while to get to level eleven via the catacombs if you are not. The reason I mention this is because ata level eleven your characters' stats are high enough to finally rank up, and the power gained from an increased rank is totally fantasterific. You'll definietely want to do it here. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Barrage Sewers | (0000D) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Fiend | | Rank..........Fiend | | Rank..........Fiend | | Level............11 | | Level............11 | | Level............11 | | HP..........440/440 | | HP..........440/440 | | HP..........440/440 | | MP............96/96 | | MP............96/96 | | MP............96/96 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank......................Fiend | | Rank.......................Fiend | | Level........................11 | | Level.........................11 | | HP......................440/440 | | HP.......................440/440 | | MP........................96/96 | | MP.........................96/96 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank......................Fiend | | Rank.......................Fiend | | Level........................11 | | Level.........................11 | | HP......................440/440 | | HP.......................440/440 | | MP........................96/96 | | MP.........................96/96 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o If you ranked up your characters beforehand like I suggested then you should have no problem with this battle, if you didn't then it may be a bit harder. You're fighting seven of these enemies once again just like you did in the rpevious battle however there are a couple of differences. On the advantage side you are able to use more than four people. On the disadvantage side you have to protect the little cat person and also given the enemies are more grouped together they are more likely to attack as a group. Basically what you need to do is try to take them on one at a time, picking off each one individually, however that should not keep you from using group spells. Skills like Linea's new Cluster Ray can easily hit three or more enemies at once in this battle and that really helps out. Don't let the cat person get killed, have it run toward you as your party protects it. You don't lose the battle if she dies, but if you want the chance to recruit later you'll have to keep her alive. Remember that once the perso is safe you can move back to the old routine of playing defensively and letting the enemy come to you. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o After this battle there should be quite a few new quests available so before heading to the cathedral you should probably check those out. For the Aspiring Fusionist 2 questr the person wants some Silver. Go to the shop and buy Bronze and an Amulet. Fuse them together to get the Main Gauche and then fuse the Main Gauche with a Long Sword you can buy at the store to get a Silver. Now when you bring the Feather Hat to the woman she'll give you a Blue Beret. Soon enough the Fusionist Exam 1 will become available and the item you need is a Blue Beret so just leave it in your inventory and don't equip it, you'll be ready for the exam when it comes around. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Mock Battle | (000Q8) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........Fighter | | Rank.........Archer | | Rank.........Cleric | | Level............16 | | Level............16 | | Level............16 | | HP..........520/520 | | HP..........430/430 | | HP..........430/430 | | MP............89/89 | | MP..........114/114 | | MP..........139/139 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank......................Thief | | Rank.......................Thief | | Level........................16 | | Level.........................16 | | HP......................430/430 | | HP.......................430/430 | | MP........................89/89 | | MP.........................89/89 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank...................Spearman | | Rank....................Spearman | | Level........................16 | | Level.........................16 | | HP......................510/510 | | HP.......................510/510 | | MP........................99/99 | | MP.........................99/99 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o I'd like to meet the man who said quest battles are easy. I don't know where this came from but at this point in the game there's about a 200% chance of being overwhelmed in this battle. If you want to win this fight there's not going to be any easy way of doing it, obviously the catacombs would be the best bet since they allow you to level up gradually as you go further down. The enemies have high attack power, high defense, high evade etc but keep in mind they are indeed just normal enemies and without the crazy level advantage, you can easily wipe the floor with all of them, no problem. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Cathedral Bridge | (0000E) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank....Golem:Alpha | | Rank....Golem:Alpha | | Rank....Golem:Alpha | | Level............12 | | Level............12 | | Level............12 | | HP..........555/555 | | HP..........555/555 | | HP..........555/555 | | MP..........107/107 | | MP..........107/107 | | MP..........107/107 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank....Golem:Alpha | | Rank....Golem:Alpha | | Rank....Golem:Alpha | | Level............12 | | Level............12 | | Level............12 | | HP..........555/555 | | HP..........555/555 | | HP..........555/555 | | MP..........107/107 | | MP..........107/107 | | MP..........107/107 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o Time to take on six of these ferocious golems, each one has quite a bit of HP and is capable of using attacks that not only hit multiple members of your party, but powerful team attacks as well. For this reason you're going to want to do everything you can to take on one golem at a time. Start by moving your party to the right rather than going up the middle, you'll find a single golem there. Have everyone in your party focus their attacks on it, you should be able to defeat the golem without problem. After this you'll be attacked by two golems, there isn't a lot you can do about that. Try to keep your distance and use Linea and Adara to perform ranged attacks, with any luck you'll be able to thin them out so two approach you, but only one reaches you. At that point your physical fighters like Spero and finish the job. Finally it's time to climb the stairs and take on the three at the top. You can try moving slowly so you only lure them toward you one at a time however I find they seem to be much more eager to attack as a group. This is where it gets dangerous. Try to keep you party on the flat part at the top of the stairs as opposed to the side of the stairs. If you're close to the side the golems will jump down on the lower platforms and attacking, the height differences will just make it more difficult for you to keep up. Also watch out for golems with Fear zones, you don't want to find yourself caught in one. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Cathedral 2F | (0000F) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank....Golem:Alpha | | Rank....Golem:Alpha | | Rank....Golem:Alpha | | Level............12 | | Level............12 | | Level............12 | | HP..........600/600 | | HP..........600/600 | | HP..........600/600 | | MP..........107/107 | | MP..........107/107 | | MP..........107/107 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank................Golem:Alpha | | Rank.................Golem:Alpha | | Level........................13 | | Level.........................13 | | HP......................600/600 | | HP.......................600/600 | | MP......................112/112 | | MP.......................112/112 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name..........Viser Rank.......Master Alchemist Item......Fur Boots | | Level............16 Weapon...............Rapier Item....Counterlets | | HP........1150/1150 Armor.......... .Chain Mail Item.........ID Tag | | MP..........160/160 Headgear..........Hachigane Item.....Vigor Seed | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o The goal of this battle is to defeat Viser, however that goal can be a little misdirective. If you don't wish to you don't actually have to defeat Viser, there's a reason you should however. Basically, if you wish to recruit Viser later as a permanent character, you must defeat him in this battle. Before you go ahead with this knowledge you should also know there is another win condition here, defeating four Golems will also end this battle. For those who have no interest in recruiting him you can simply got for this goal as it is much easier and can be attained at level eleven or twelve or so. In order to defeat Viser you will be required to be at level fifteen or sixteen or so because you need to engage him, but while doing so you need to be able to weather the Golems' attacks since if you defeat too many the battle will end. On top of all this you will have to be able to deal more than 500 damage with a team attack since Viser will run from the battle when his HP starts to get below 500, and having him run from battle is unacceptable if you wish to recruit him into your party. You need to get up there and totally drain his HP, it's quite difficult, but that's life I guess. Either way this battle isn't going to be easy. For those looking to just defeat the Goelms run every member of you party to the right at the very beginning of battle, the three Golems at the top of the stairs will fire beams from a far distance unless you get everyone out of the way. When you do you should be able to use that side area like a safe haven to avoid most of the attacks, and slowly move outward. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Cathedral 3F | (0000G) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.....Axe Knight | | Rank.....Axe Knight | | Rank.........Cleric | | Level............14 | | Level............14 | | Level............14 | | HP..........535/535 | | HP..........535/535 | | HP..........380/380 | | MP............82/82 | | MP............82/82 | | MP..........128/128 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank................Swordmaster | | Rank.................Swordmaster | | Level........................14 | | Level.........................14 | | HP......................450/450 | | HP.......................450/450 | | MP........................92/92 | | MP.........................92/92 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Level............14 | | Level............14 | | Level............14 | | HP..........560/560 | | HP..........560/560 | | HP..........560/560 | | MP..........108/108 | | MP..........108/108 | | MP..........108/108 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank......................Devil | | Rank.......................Devil | | Level........................14 | | Level.........................14 | | HP......................560/560 | | HP.......................560/560 | | MP......................108/108 | | MP.......................108/108 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name...........Jade Rank.................Bandit Item......Fur Boots | | Level............15 Weapon..............Gladius Item.........ID Tag | | HP........1835/1835 Armor.......... .Chain Mail Item............N/A | | MP............95/95 Headgear..........Hachigane Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o Holy baloney this battle can get REALLY hard, even if you know what you're doing. Admittedly I was probably underleveled with an average level of thirteen, but still, even a ocuple of levels still wouldn't have made it easy. If your equipment is outdated I highly suggest checking the fusion charts and getting yourself some upgraded weapons for your party. First of all you are given four slots for people here rather than the normal six. I would take Spero, Grey, Adara and Linea for this one, they'll come in handy most. If you think you'll need to subsitute one of those for a healer than think again, your two guests in this battle and both proficient healers. The following is the best way to approach this fight without getting your ass handed to you: first of all your should note that you should NOT move the two healers at all. If they do not move they will not be attacked and you don't have to worry about protecting them, at least for now. When they turns comes up just have them empty their AP to 0 each time. Now what you want to do is move grey slightly to the left, Spero right to the bottom of the stairs and have Adara and Linea stay around the middle. The two Swordmasters and Aze Knights will descend the stairs to attack you. Grey and Spero should tak eon the enemies at their respective sides with the support of Adara and Linea in the middle. Try to focus more on one side so you can eliminate them faster and then send everyone over to the other side. After they are dead gather all four of your party members together and begin to climb either staircase. When you get close enough to the Devil enemies they will move toward you. This is your cue to finally take control of the Prist and Priestess. Move them toward your party. While it is true that your goal is to protect them, you'll want to have them with you at all times, just keep them at the rear. There are two reasons for this, one is because they are great healers, and in Lumena's case, she has a huge HP Restore zone skill radius, have her end her turn at 0 AP with your party nearby and they'll all be substantially healed for no MP cost. When the two Devils and the Cleric that comes down have been defeated, Jade and the enemies who surround him will start moving, this is where it gets really dangerous. I'm going to warn you right here, right now, because the follow circumstance gave me a total of four gameovers in this battle before I finally won: if Jade and one Devil enemy get close to you, they WILL use a Team Attack guaranteed, it WILL deal over 400 damage, and in my case they WILL target your main character despite the fact that there are weaker characters nearby. Spero dies and it's game over. Very frustrating, but as far as I can tell he can only use this Team Attack once so you may want to keep him in the back until it occurs. You can go about this however you want but I chose to eliminate the Devils rather than focusing an offensive on Jade. Jade is a very difficult enemy to defeat. Most of the reason for this is his very high Evade stat, attacking him from the front will almost always yield a miss. You need to use Magic spells as much as possible, Adara's Bullet Spray and Linea's Storm. Along with these you'll need Team Attacks. Skills come after but he seems to have a high chance of guarding them. The one lucky thing for you however is that you only need to get him down to 700 HP before he escapes from the battle. The last thing I want to mention is that his three attacks-in-a- row can easily take down even your strongest member. If he has to move even a single panel then he can only use two attacks, this can mean the difference bewteen life and death so whatever you do, don't leave anyone next to him. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o \____________________________________________________________________________/ <== CHAPTER 3 - The Secret Sect =============================================> /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ The beginning of the third chapter is here, there ar e afew new quests to undertake as well as a whole new set of items available at the shop for you to peruse and upgrade.

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o Before this battle begins be sure to choose "Ready? You're going to find out!" It will help you recruit an additional character later. I'm going to have a personal bias here that probably isn't going to help out much since after that last battle, I got frustrated and went to level up my party in the catacombs up to level sixteen average, giving a decent advantage here, especially given I fused rank seven weapons. Either way it's still going to proceed in mostly the same matter. Have your party begin jumping one at a time up the boxes piled up beside where you start. When you defeat the enemies at the top after climbing the boxes, given your only real goal is to defeat Echidna I figure you might as well jsut cross the bridge and start right at it. You'll definietely want to defeat the two Swordmasters beside her first since one of them has HP Recovery and the other has HP Absorb. Echidna herself has a Zone skill as well called Sans Skills. Basically it means anyone within a coupleof panels of her cannot use skills, but for someone like Spero that's note going to make a difference anyway since he can deal more damage with three attacks in a row than with any skill. The Priest from the top will come up and begin to heal Echidna, you might want to dispatch a party member to take out the priest, but being healed for about 200 every time six of your characters attack really isn't going to make much difference in the long run, just be offensive with this one and when you manage to get her HP down to around 800, the battle is automatically won. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Asheville | (0000I) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Level............16 | | Level............16 | | Level............16 | | HP..........370/370 | | HP..........370/370 | | HP..........370/370 | | MP..........105/105 | | MP..........105/105 | | MP..........105/105 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Level............16 | | Level............16 | | Level............16 | | HP..........370/370 | | HP..........370/370 | | HP..........370/370 | | MP..........105/105 | | MP..........105/105 | | MP..........105/105 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Level............16 | | Level............16 | | Level............16 | | HP..........370/370 | | HP..........370/370 | | HP..........370/370 | | MP..........105/105 | | MP..........105/105 | | MP..........105/105 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o You'll be facing nine devils here, perhaps it's just me but I find that with their 300 range HP levels, they go down really easy compared to most other enemies you've been fighting up to this point. Also given that they are spread out so much you should really only have to fight them one at a time. Be sure to take advantage of the terrain as well, an enemy at the top of the stairs can easily be picked at with magic and nearly defeated before he even gets to the bottom. Just make your way around the map gradually eliminating all the devils you find until finally, there are no more of them reamining. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o Check out the guild and you should find a quest called Letter from Sagil.

Here's not too much more difficult than other alchemists so you need not worry too much. Alchemists are strong against magic, weak against physical attacks, they have the ability to heal, inflict magic damage and inflict status effects. YOu can see that having quite a lot of alchemists on the field can get annoying but forrtunately like usual you should be able to just focus on one at a time. Make sure to avoid most things that would damage a little but not kill, mostly because you'll find then they'll just keep healing each other. Hit hard and hit fast to make sure you eliminate them, don't leave them weak. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Sublea | (0000J) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Level............17 | | Level............17 | | Level............17 | | HP..........455/455 | | HP..........455/455 | | HP..........455/455 | | MP..........109/109 | | MP..........109/109 | | MP..........109/109 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Level............17 | | Level............17 | | Level............17 | | HP..........455/455 | | HP..........455/455 | | HP..........455/455 | | MP..........109/109 | | MP..........109/109 | | MP..........109/109 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Rank..........Devil | | Level............17 | | Level............17 | | Level............17 | | HP..........455/455 | | HP..........455/455 | | HP..........455/455 | | MP..........109/109 | | MP..........109/109 | | MP..........109/109 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o Well, it's another generic battle against some Devils again, you must be getting used to this.

There's really nothing too dangerous here, level sixteen or so, even below their average level should get you through without problem. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o It's that time again!

A single hit from one of the three golems is going to kill them no matter what. The ones beside the golem near you are fairly easy to protect however the one at the bottom will likely be killed, try and have the Elementor escape up a staircase. I'm not quite sure what difference it makes if you save all three of them, perhaps you get a better reward I don't know. The fact is regardless, this battle is extremely easy if you do the following: Bring Spero, Linea and Adara. All three of them should focus on the Golem near you at the start. After defeating that Golem you still have the one at the top and the bottom. If you're party is still basically centred near where you started, the Golem at the bottom is too stupid to climb the stairs and will just stand against the wall, Linea can shoot arrows down and kill it. The one at the top also is too stupid to figure out where the stairs work, Adara's Bullet Rays is extremely effective. That's all you need. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Tesca | (0000K) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.....Axe Knight | | Rank.....Axe Knight | | Rank.........Priest | | Level............18 | | Level............18 | | Level............18 | | HP..........675/675 | | HP..........675/675 | | HP..........480/480 | | MP............96/96 | | MP............96/96 | | MP..........150/150 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Priest | | Rank.........Hunter | | Rank.........Hunter | | Level............18 | | Level............18 | | Level............18 | | HP..........480/480 | | HP..........480/480 | | HP..........480/480 | | MP..........150/150 | | MP..........123/123 | | MP..........123/123 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank....................Warrior | | Rank.....................Warrior | | Level........................18 | | Level.........................18 | | HP......................520/520 | | HP.......................520/520 | | MP........................89/89 | | MP.........................89/89 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name...........Jade Rank.................Bandit Item.Survival Boots | | Level............17 Weapon.............Falchion Item.........ID Tag | | HP........2520/2520 Armor............Plate Mail Item............N/A | | MP..........109/109 Headgear..........Hachigane Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o Jeez I hate this battle, just like all the other ones against this guy. I swear you cannot hit this bastard, it's impossible. Any kind fo special accessories, Zone skills, whatever it takes to boost your accuracy you had better equip it before battle, I'm warning you now. The battle itself apart from the boss is anything but easy as well. What you want to do I find is to try and stay as far away from the boss as possible until the last minute. Basically take a couple people from your party and position them at the bottom of the hill at the start so that can fight with the Warrior and the Priest when they come down the hill. Linea should focus on eliminating the archer up top as well so you can get these three enemies out of the way at the beginning. From here note the side of the screen that Jade is on, you'll want to stay on the opposite side as much as possible. Avoid moving your party toward the middle of all these enemies, instead try to approach from the side the second archer is on and move gradually toward Jade. When you get close it will be difficult to kill the Axe Knights without triggering his movement, but it can be done, with ranged attacks. As for Jade, like I said, if you actually want to hit this guy you're going to need accuracy boosts up the wazoo. Even special skills don't help much since he guards them, do everything you can to attack from the sides and from behind. Try to gather your party around him and prepare for a lare Team Attack, but afer that spread them out so he has to move to attack, it's the only way to stay alive. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o A couple of new quests are available. For the one which requires the Blessed Fruit do the following: Buy a Chain Mail and Gladius then fuse them to get Light Alchemy. Next purchase Akujiki and Aged Gauntlets then fuse them to get Burn Knuckle. Now fuse the Burn Knuckle with the Light Alchemy to get the Blessed Fruit. Now you can bring that to Sublea.

Regardless you should just live with what you get, If you consider yourself a patient person here's what I would recommend. Set up all three of your party members up top, don'tplace anyone on the lower level. Have them all move toward the upper area where the one Hunter and two Armored Knights are. The three of them should work together to take out all those enemies. Once they are eliminated you can easily make your way down to the laster Hunter. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o After this there should be yet another Mock Battle now available. Actually if you were unable to defeat those high level neemies last time, it seems like it's the same battle, because these enemies are around the same level. Whatever the circumstance is for you, the basic stategy likely remains. After this one is taken care of, yet another group of quests should appear. Choose the Solum Battle Tournament and head off. I'm not quite positive what activates it, it has to be the beginning of the month (from the first to the fifth) and I think it takes place at the resistance camp. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Solum Battle Tournament | (000QC) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name........Warrior Rank................Warrior Item............N/A | | Level............12 Weapon...........Long Sword Item............N/A | | HP..........400/400 Armor..........Leather Mail Item............N/A | | MP............75/75 Headgear................Cap Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name.........Squire Rank.................Squire Item............N/A | | Level............14 Weapon..............Halberd Item............N/A | | HP..........450/450 Armor.............Ring Mail Item............N/A | | MP............92/92 Headgear................Cap Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name....Swordmaster Rank............Swordmaster Item............N/A | | Level............16 Weapon...............Ashura Item............N/A | | HP..........510/510 Armor...........Bronze Mail Item............N/A | | MP............99/99 Headgear.......Cloth Helmet Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name..MstrAlchemist Rank..........MstrAlchemist Item............N/A | | Level............20 Weapon............Palladium Item............N/A | | HP..........530/530 Armor.........Darkness Robe Item............N/A | | MP..........161/161 Headgear........Feather Hat Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name.....Axe Knight Rank.............Axe Knight Item............N/A | | Level............23 Weapon...........Battle Axe Item............N/A | | HP..........850/850 Armor............Chain Mail Item............N/A | | MP..........113/113 Headgear.......Cloth Helmet Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o Well, basically you just choose one character and start trying to fight your way thorugh a number of matches.

The Goelms aren't going to be easy and the difficulty of this battle will really depend on how well you can group your party together to fight the Golems one at a time. If they are allowed to team up on your party and fire one of their large death beams in a straight line and hit your party, obviously things could get a little ugly. Focus on the four Golems that start out near you, utilizing powerful magic like Adara's Bullet Rays. You'll also need a healer capable of casting magic on more than one party member since those death beams can really do a number on your entire party. Once the first four Golems are defeated don't go on an offensive against the next four but rather stay close to the start and take advantage of the time it takes for the other Golems to reach you, to heal your party. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o At this point, I'm not sure how critical the timing is, but you might want to check for another Mock Battle available.

If you don't want to be frustrated and overwhelmed by the second one and have to finish this one again (and maybe again) I suggest you prepare well in advance for this one, and perhaps read ahead a little. This is an interesting level here, both by design and by thew way it plays out. First and foremost you are facing off against a number of difficult Golems and one single boss enemy, however you are not to harm this boss at all during the course of the battle. The victory condition of this battle requires only that you defeat all the Golems and Tia can be recruited later provided you can do this without harming her. As for the level itself, like I said it can get rather difficult. You'll begin near two Golems who will undoubtedly massacre your aprty with their giant death rays, since it will be very difficult to eliminate both or even one of them in the first turn I would recommend you focus your effecorts on spreading out your party so that no one is positioned in a straight line, that way the attack can only hit one person at most. Have an adequate healer ready for the person it does hit. After the first two are eliminated use the ramp to get up on that diagonal path in the middle. Believe it or not the awkward terrain actually gives you the advantage, atleast against the Golems near the boss. Since it's diagonal and the Golems can only fire in a straight line, they won't be able to hit you until they get really close. For this reason you should ignore those ones for now and focus on using Adara's Bullet Rays and Linea's normal attack to pick off the Golems located down on the other side of the walkway. Once this is done you should have no trouble against the ones coming at you. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Tallis | (0000N) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name........AGP-FDX Rank.............Golem:Beta Item.Aged Gauntlets | | Level............24 Weapon............Golem Arm Item......Full Moon | | HP........4160/4160 Armor...........Golem Armor Item......Vigor Nut | | MP..........240/240 Headgear................N/A Item......Vigor Nut | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o Now here is a difficult battle. If you've been thinking "man I could go for a difficult battle right about now" then your wish is certainly granted. One single enemy, nothing more, but it's a hell of an enemy. A pink Golem with approximately 400% more hit points than a normal Golem of its level, I guess that's what pink does for you in this game. There are obviously more than a coupleof things you're going to want to keep in mind for this battle. First of all Tia, Tia can't die here if you're still looking for the whole "recruitment" thing so have her on the very first turn run as far away from the Golem as possible, preferably in the opposite direction of the party. I can almost guarantee the Golem won't follow. Secondly, physical attacks aren't exactly the Golem's weak point, not that they are totally ineffective but not nearly as effective as a magic attack. You'll need a healer with a spell capable of hitting multiple members of your party, and enough Potions to ensure their MP does not drain completely. As usual, Adara and Linea will be important players in this fight, in fact the majority of the damage should come from them. They should remain set apart (not in a straight line) and basically not moved at all from the start position, it gives the height advantage which always helps, especially for Linea. You might find that eventually, once your main attackers have been inflicted with Fear (or even if they haven't) they might end up more useful as decoy characters, used to lure the boss around and waste its AP while Linea and Adara continue to attack from above. Two characters that do NOT make good decoy characters are Spero and Tia since both of them must live to the end of the battle. Remember you're not trying to get your decoy character killed, but if you have to, they will be the expendable one. Eventually the Golem's HP will drain to zero. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o \____________________________________________________________________________/ <== CHAPTER 4 - Doorway to Antother Realm ===================================> /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Aphan | (0000O) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Spirit | | Rank.........Spirit | | Rank.........Spirit | | Level............23 | | Level............23 | | Level............23 | | HP..........800/800 | | HP..........800/800 | | HP..........800/800 | | MP..........177/177 | | MP..........177/177 | | MP..........177/177 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank.....................Spirit | | Rank......................Spirit | | Level........................23 | | Level.........................23 | | HP......................800/800 | | HP.......................800/800 | | MP......................177/177 | | MP.......................177/177 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank.....................Spirit | | Rank......................Spirit | | Level........................23 | | Level.........................23 | | HP......................800/800 | | HP.......................800/800 | | MP......................177/177 | | MP.......................177/177 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank...Elementalist | | Rank...Elementalist | | Rank...Elementalist | | Level............23 | | Level............23 | | Level............23 | | HP..........615/615 | | HP..........615/615 | | HP..........615/615 | | MP..........177/177 | | MP..........177/177 | | MP..........177/177 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank...............Elementalist | | Rank................Elementalist | | Level........................23 | | Level.........................23 | | HP......................615/615 | | HP.......................615/615 | | MP......................177/177 | | MP.......................177/177 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o This battle takes place on an odd terrain against a fair number of enemies however they are spread out quite a bit so you should be able to pace it and avoid any large confrontations. Focus your enery mostly on the Elementalists when they're close, and aim for the Spirits with ranged attacks. Neither the Elementalists nor the Spirits have a weakness against magic, in fact it's quite weak against them, so Linea is a far more effective character. This isn't exactly the easiest map to navigate so the battle may take a fair bit of time before you can complete it. The Spirits have a very dangerous kind of lightning bolt attack, the range isn't too bad so basically what you're trying to do is keep your distance until you're ready to attack them and then run forward on a hard offensive. Be sure to have a healer at your side always. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Boreas | (0000P) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Hunter | | Rank.........Hunter | | Rank.........Hunter | | Level............24 | | Level............24 | | Level............24 | | HP..........630/630 | | HP..........630/630 | | HP..........630/630 | | MP..........150/150 | | MP..........150/150 | | MP..........150/150 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank....Swordmaster | | Rank....Swordmaster | | Rank....Swordmaster | | Level............24 | | Level............24 | | Level............24 | | HP..........750/750 | | HP..........750/750 | | HP..........750/750 | | MP..........127/127 | | MP..........127/127 | | MP..........127/127 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.....Axe Knight | | Rank.....Axe Knight | | Rank.........Priest | | Level............24 | | Level............24 | | Level............24 | | HP..........885/885 | | HP..........885/885 | | HP..........630/630 | | MP..........117/117 | | MP..........117/117 | | MP..........183/183 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Priest | | Rank.......Grappler | | Rank.......Grappler | | Level............24 | | Level............24 | | Level............24 | | HP..........630/630 | | HP..........760/760 | | HP..........760/760 | | MP..........183/183 | | MP..........117/117 | | MP..........117/117 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o you will automatically have to use Gallant for this battle, however he starts on the other side and is surrounded by enemies. If he's at a decent level he will probably be able to survive but more likely they'll totally rape him. It's all right though, it's not part of the victory condition to keep him alive so dont' worry too much about it. Focus on the enemies near your party when you start. Much of this battle's difficulty is basically just based on your level since it's your army against theirs, on basic terrain. A number of enemies will come at you all at once, you can take aim and fire at the archers so they're out of the way and you can focus your melee fighters on those damn Axe Knights and Grapplers. Use whatever magic you have at your disposal. At this point in the game you may be approaching the point where you can rank up further to the next stage, so if you happen to have any third rank action skills, those should be able to totally wipe the floor with them. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o Time again for new shop inventory.

Similar to previous battles the Spirits has a powerful lightning type attack they will use if you get too close so ranged combat works best against them while melee fighting works well agains the Elementalist SPirits (especially since they have a weakness to physical damage.) The main thing I find you need to watch out for in this battle si team attacks, some of them can get quite brutal and hit one person for quite a bit of damage. Make sure, at the very least that your main character never gets surrounded by enemies, you wouldn't want to get to the end of the fight then a cheap game over. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Ventus Shrine | (0000R) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name.........Ventus Rank......Great Spirit:Wind Item............N/A | | Level............27 Weapon..........Wind Cutter Item............N/A | | HP........6060/6060 Armor............Great Aura Item............N/A | | MP..........500/500 Headgear................N/A Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o Looko out for the giant green sphere! This massive monster isn't just a beast to look at, it is capabale of insane damage and also carries with it an HP total that is off the scales. In fact, if you want to defeat this monster you're going to need to have a bit of luck on your side. First of all I think it's about time your entire party was upgraded to the third rank upgrade. Each of them should be able to use their primary skill for the third rank, these skills will be able to deal damage that exceeds 1000 with little trouble. The reason I say there's a luck element is because you will usually only have enough MP to use these skills once per battle and since the boss' evasion is so high, if it guards against most of them you aren't going to be left with a lot of ways to kill it. The boss' main attack is a large blast of energy that hits everyone within a good five panels or so in each direction for about 200 damage. What you're going to want to do at the start is move everyone back a couple capes so the boss jumps down off that starting area, then while it's on the same level as you, you can go back up and begin pounding the crap out of it. Like I said, the most important thing n this battle isn't your ability to deal a lot of damage, it's how accurate you are. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Porta | (0000S) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.Armored Knight | | Rank.Armored Knight | | Rank.Armored Knight | | Level............26 | | Level............26 | | Level............26 | | HP..........925/925 | | HP..........925/925 | | HP..........925/925 | | MP..........125/125 | | MP..........125/125 | | MP..........125/125 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.Armored Knight | | Rank.Armored Knight | | Rank.........Priest | | Level............26 | | Level............26 | | Level............26 | | HP..........925/925 | | HP..........925/925 | | HP..........700/700 | | MP..........125/125 | | MP..........125/125 | | MP..........195/195 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank..............MstrAlchemist | | Rank...............MstrAclhemist | | Level........................26 | | Level.........................26 | | HP......................700/700 | | HP.......................700/700 | | MP......................195/195 | | MP.......................195/195 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank.................Golem:Beta | | Rank..................Golem:Beta | | Level.........................1 | | Level..........................1 | | HP....................1205/1205 | | HP.....................1205/1205 | | MP......................185/185 | | MP.......................185/185 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o Back where it all started once agian.

Once again Linea will come in handy, have her stand on top of the large wall and fire arrows down on unsuspecting enemies below you. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Altiplano | (0000U) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........General | | Rank........General | | Rank........General | | Level............28 | | Level............28 | | Level............28 | | HP........1015/1015 | | HP........1015/1015 | | HP........1015/1015 | | MP..........133/133 | | MP..........133/133 | | MP..........133/133 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........General | | Rank........General | | Rank...........Sage | | Level............28 | | Level............28 | | Level............28 | | HP........1015/1015 | | HP........1015/1015 | | HP..........770/770 | | MP..........133/133 | | MP..........133/133 | | MP..........207/207 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank...........Sage | | Rank.........Sniper | | Rank.........Sniper | | Level............28 | | Level............28 | | Level............28 | | HP..........770/770 | | HP..........770/770 | | HP..........770/770 | | MP..........207/207 | | MP..........170/170 | | MP..........170/170 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o This will be your first battle against enemies of the third rank, so while their level has only increased by one keep in mind that their power has increased more than that. It still isn't going to be a particularly difficult fight though. What I would do is take Linea and leave her in the broken area where you start, she can snipe enemies coming at you from the front. All other characters with the exception of your healer should begin moving up the hill gradually taking on and defeating enemies at the top. From there enemies on the lower parts of the hill will begin to move toward you, but assuming Adara is equipped with some powerful magic she should be able to defeat them before they get to close. This battle is immediately followed by another. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Altiplano | (0000V) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Wight | | Rank..........Wight | | Rank..........Wight | | Level............29 | | Level............29 | | Level............29 | | HP........1060/1060 | | HP........1060/1060 | | HP........1060/1060 | | MP..........213/213 | | MP..........213/213 | | MP..........213/213 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Wight | | Rank..........Wight | | Rank..........Wight | | Level............29 | | Level............29 | | Level............29 | | HP........1060/1060 | | HP........1060/1060 | | HP........1060/1060 | | MP..........213/213 | | MP..........213/213 | | MP..........213/213 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank...............Grand Master | | Rank................Grand Master | | Level........................29 | | Level.........................29 | | HP......................815/815 | | HP.......................815/815 | | MP......................213/213 | | MP.......................213/213 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank...............Grand Master | | Rank................Grand Master | | Level........................29 | | Level.........................29 | | HP......................815/815 | | HP.......................815/815 | | MP......................213/213 | | MP.......................213/213 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o Without having a chance to save after the last battle you will be thrust into this one. Fortunately it isn't a boss battle or anything like that, but it is marginally more difficult than the previous battle. The main reason this is true is because all enemies possess ranged attacks and because you start at the bottom of the hill, not that top, which gives you a disadvantage. You'll have to gradually and slowly make your way up the hill while the Spirits approach and fire those damn lightning blasts down on you. It deals a fair bit of damage but as long as you have a decent healer you'll be okay. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Humus Shrine | (0000W) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name.........Ventus Rank.....Great Spirit:Earth Item............N/A | | Level............27 Weapon..........Rock Shards Item............N/A | | HP........6250/6250 Armor............Great Aura Item............N/A | | MP..........642/642 Headgear................N/A Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o This time your opponent is a giant yellow orb and the power and HP of this orb really isn't too much more than the previous one you fought, since your party has leveled up this fight should be easier right? Wrong! There's one single unifying reason this battle is excrutiatingly harder than the last one, the lare area attack the boss uses inflicts the Stone status on your characters, making it so they cannot more an inch until cured. The attack also happens to be powerful. You'll need two healers for this battle likely, not one. Both Prier and Lumena will suffice. Equip the Anti-Stone ability if you have it and be sure your healers are ready with status curing magic. I find that this boss has extremely high defense against just about every skill, even the most powerful skills you have are only marginally more powerful than normal attacks, and since you can use more than one normal attack per turn it makes skills (with the exception of cure magic) virtually useless in this battle. The enemy has high defense and a lot of HP, so keep hacking and hacking. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o After this battle you should be able to find another new quest in the guild leading to a battle, the quest is called Legendary Weapon? 1. / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Legendary Weapon? 1 | (000QD) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.Armored Knight | | Rank.Armored Knight | | Rank.Armored Knight | | Level............30 | | Level............30 | | Level............30 | | HP........1105/1105 | | HP........1105/1105 | | HP........1105/1105 | | MP..........141/141 | | MP..........141/141 | | MP..........141/141 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.Armored Knight | | Rank....Royal Guard | | Rank....Royal Guard | | Level............30 | | Level............30 | | Level............30 | | HP........1105/1105 | | HP........1260/1260 | | HP........1260/1260 | | MP..........141/141 | | MP..........161/161 | | MP..........161/161 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o Nothing much to do here, all you really need is an archer at the top of the cliff to fire arrows down on the enemies below, send the rest of your party toward the broken down shack area and have them fend off the other enemies with melee attacks.

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o Another difficult battle awaits you here, you'll need to fight your way through a horde of enemies before finally reaching the boss who can easily set up and deliver a fatal blow to your entire party after all the hard work. When coming into this battle be sure to have a good stock of ranged attackers, they will make or break you here. Since the terrain is odd with bridges and stairs all over you'll have more than a couple chances to snipe enemies as they move either above or below you. As for the boss himself, Croire has a special skills that hits everyone around him for nearly 300 damage, it can get quite dangerous so if you plan to group your party make sure to do so in a way you can easily heal them after. Fortunately this attack doesn't take too much MP to use. Compared to the large orb obsses, Croire has less HP, lower defense, lower evade and skills do nearly full damage so offensively you should find him far easier to defeat than previous bosses. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Scylla's Breath | (0000Y) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Wight | | Rank..........Wight | | Rank..........Wight | | Level............31 | | Level............31 | | Level............31 | | HP........1150/1150 | | HP........1150/1150 | | HP........1150/1150 | | MP..........240/240 | | MP..........240/240 | | MP..........240/240 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Wight | | Rank..........Wight | | Rank..........Wight | | Level............31 | | Level............31 | | Level............31 | | HP........1150/1150 | | HP........1150/1150 | | HP........1150/1150 | | MP..........240/240 | | MP..........240/240 | | MP..........240/240 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Wight | | Rank...Grand Master | | Rank...Grand Master | | Level............31 | | Level............31 | | Level............31 | | HP........1150/1150 | | HP..........885/885 | | HP..........885/885 | | MP..........240/240 | | MP..........225/225 | | MP..........225/225 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank...............Grand Master | | Rank................Grand Master | | Level........................31 | | Level.........................31 | | HP......................885/885 | | HP.......................885/885 | | MP......................225/225 | | MP.......................225/225 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o You know the drill, face off against the Spirits and show them you are worthy to pass. The difference bwteen these Spirits and ones you fought earlier is that these ones have a somewhat powerful fire based area attack similar to Adara's Meltdown. If you let too many spirits get in range you may find that not just one person, but your entire party is at risk. Focus on one Spirit at a time, make killing them a priority over the Grand Masters. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Aqua Shrine | (0000Z) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name...........Aqua Rank.....Great Spirit:Water Item............N/A | | Level............33 Weapon...........Water Whip Item............N/A | | HP........6260/6260 Armor............Great Aura Item............N/A | | MP..........686/686 Headgear................N/A Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o The third battle against a giant orb monster thing. This one similar to the previous battle relies mostly on inflicting negative status ailments to make the battle difficult. In this case it's the Sleep status. Its attack isn't really any more powerful than the last one and you will note that not only does the Sleep status wear off quickly, you can also simply attack a party member to cure it. For these two reasons the battle is actually easier. There are two things that add to the challenge but in the end it doesn't quite meet the difficulty of the last one. First of all your starting position forced you to place two characters down on the lower level, second of all the boss not only inflicts Sleep with its attack but also has a large Zone skill that inflicts in on your party. Keep these things in mind while fighting. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o You'll want to check out all the quests after this point including the Aspiriing Fusionist quests.

Have someone stay behind to take care of the Shadow and the Berserker who come through the water then leave the rest of your party to head up. The Sages I find are among the most dangerous mainly because they have magic capable of hitting all six of your party members. Given their weakness to physical attacks however, Linea should have no problem simply picking them off. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Grave of Spirits | (000W1) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank...Grand Master | | Rank...Grand Master | | Rank...Grand Master | | Level............33 | | Level............33 | | Level............33 | | HP..........955/955 | | HP..........955/955 | | HP..........955/955 | | MP..........237/237 | | MP..........237/237 | | MP..........237/237 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Wight | | Rank..........Wight | | Rank..........Wight | | Level............33 | | Level............33 | | Level............33 | | HP........1240/1240 | | HP........1240/1240 | | HP........1240/1240 | | MP..........237/237 | | MP..........237/237 | | MP..........237/237 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank..........Wight | | Rank..........Wight | | Rank..........Wight | | Level............33 | | Level............33 | | Level............33 | | HP........1240/1240 | | HP........1240/1240 | | HP........1240/1240 | | MP..........237/237 | | MP..........237/237 | | MP..........237/237 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank......................Wight | | Rank.......................Wight | | Level........................33 | | Level.........................33 | | HP....................1240/1240 | | HP.....................1240/1240 | | MP......................237/237 | | MP.......................237/237 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o Take on the Spirits as you fight your way through this difficult terrain, that's the only thing that makes the battle hard. Since the enemies have magic attacks they can hit you from across the magma gaps. Your melee fights won't be too effective in this battle unless you lure the enemies toward you and fight in a large wide open area where they have no room to escape. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Flamma Shrine | (000W2) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name.........Flamma Rank......Great Spirit:Fire Item............N/A | | Level............35 Weapon...........Fire Sword Item............N/A | | HP........7240/7240 Armor............Great Aura Item............N/A | | MP..........650/650 Headgear................N/A Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o The fourth and (thankfully) final battle against one of these stupid elemental Spirits. It's back to the classics again with Fear-inducing attacks that will drive you mad. The boss uses the following tactics to try and piss you off as much as possible: physical and magic attacks will inflict Fear on your party, there is a "no skills" zone effect going on around the boss, and lastly it has a very nasty countterattack that you will likely see quite a bit because you won't be able to use skills all the time. The counterattack can be one of the most dangerous things he does. I had Spero and Grey attacking periodically but about 90% of the damage to this boss was done by Linea. Since the boss has low evasion, Linea's attack from any direction was 100% and the sphere can't counterattack from that far away. Give this tactic a try yourself. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Resistance Camp | (000W3) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.Ovrlord'sGuard | | Rank.Ovrlord'sGuard | | Rank.Ovrlord'sGuard | | Level............34 | | Level............34 | | Level............34 | | HP........1460/1460 | | HP........1460/1460 | | HP........1460/1460 | | MP..........167/167 | | MP..........167/167 | | MP..........167/167 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.Ovrlord'sGuard | | Rank.Ovrlord'sGuard | | Rank.Ovrlord'sGuard | | Level............34 | | Level............34 | | Level............34 | | HP........1460/1460 | | HP........1460/1460 | | HP........1460/1460 | | MP..........167/167 | | MP..........167/167 | | MP..........167/167 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank....Golem:Gamma | | Rank....Golem:Gamma | | Rank....Golem:Gamma | | Level............34 | | Level............34 | | Level............34 | | HP........1645/1645 | | HP........1645/1645 | | HP........1645/1645 | | MP..........233/233 | | MP..........233/233 | | MP..........233/233 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Sniper | | Rank.........Sniper | | Rank.........Sniper | | Level............34 | | Level............34 | | Level............34 | | HP..........980/980 | | HP..........980/980 | | HP..........980/980 | | MP..........200/200 | | MP..........200/200 | | MP..........200/200 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o I think this battle is just plain ridiculous to be honest, it's certainly beatable, but everything is just so... stacked against you. I ended up having to totally revamp my strategy in order to win. Basically here's what to do Defeat all the enemies that start near you and regroup your party. Now have Grey (or someone else with a decent jump stat) go over to the left side and jump up to the bottom of the stairs. Have him defeat the enemies around there, in doing so he should lure Croire to start moving toward him. At this point have him run back and rejoin your party, Croice should continue to move. Croire himself is extremely difficult to defeat, he has a Zone skill that turns your characters to Stone, a high evade stat and a counterattack he uses frequently. In order to defeat him i have to do the following: equip Grey and Spero with Anti-Stone skill, as well as the Arrow Dodge skill (learned from Scroll of Archery.) I also fused some Bright Mushrooms to raise their evasion stat, then I had Prier cast Bless on them and Adara can Physical Shield on them, with this done they were able to go in by themselves and defeat Croire. Doing this without Linea I find is what really solidifies the difficulty. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Mt.

One (or two) melee fighters should drop down the side toward the Brandish and Berserker enemies, that's all you really need. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Floating Bridge | (000W5) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.Devout Fanatic | | Rank.Devout Fanatic | | Rank.Devout Fanatic | | Level............36 | | Level............36 | | Level............36 | | HP........1415/1415 | | HP........1415/1415 | | HP........1415/1415 | | MP..........165/165 | | MP..........165/165 | | MP..........165/165 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank....High Priest | | Rank....High Priest | | Rank....High Priest | | Level............36 | | Level............36 | | Level............36 | | HP..........960/960 | | HP..........960/960 | | HP..........960/960 | | MP..........265/265 | | MP..........265/265 | | MP..........265/265 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Sniper | | Rank.........Sniper | | Rank......Gladiator | | Level............36 | | Level............36 | | Level............36 | | HP........1050/1050 | | HP........1050/1050 | | HP........1240/1240 | | MP..........210/210 | | MP..........210/210 | | MP..........210/210 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank......Gladiator | | Rank.........Diablo | | Rank.........Diablo | | Level............35 | | Level............35 | | Level............35 | | HP........1240/1240 | | HP........1560/1560 | | HP........1560/1560 | | MP..........165/165 | | MP..........202/202 | | MP..........202/202 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name.........Nebula Rank................Apostle Item.........ID Tag | | Level............37 Weapon............Rose Whip Item......Music Box | | HP........5820/5820 Armor...........Beast Armor Item.........Potion | | MP..........397/397 Headgear......Viking Helmet Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o Compared to the battle against Croire this one should be quite a bit easier. All you have to do is cross this bridge with your party, fighting off simple enemies until you reach the boss on the other side. The boss is reasonably weak, she has an attack which targets only one party member for moderate damage, it also puts them to sleep. This attack uses up most of her AP as well. The next real danger is her Stone zone skill, but given you just dealt with a similar one in the Croire battle I imagine you should have some way to counter it. Her evasion is high but attacking her from the sides and from the back should allow you to succeed with most attacks and skills. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Lacuna Ruins | (000W6) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank....High Priest | | Rank....High Priest | | Rank....High Priest | | Level............37 | | Level............37 | | Level............37 | | HP........1095/1095 | | HP........1095/1095 | | HP........1095/1095 | | MP..........265/265 | | MP..........265/265 | | MP..........265/265 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Diablo | | Rank.........Diablo | | Rank.........Diablo | | Level............37 | | Level............37 | | Level............37 | | HP........1610/1610 | | HP........1610/1610 | | HP........1610/1610 | | MP..........207/207 | | MP..........207/207 | | MP..........207/207 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.Devout Fanatic | | Rank.Devout Fanatic | | Rank.Devout Fanatic | | Level............37 | | Level............37 | | Level............37 | | HP........1460/1460 | | HP........1460/1460 | | HP........1460/1460 | | MP..........169/169 | | MP..........169/169 | | MP..........169/169 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank...................Brandish | | Rank....................Brandish | | Level........................37 | | Level.........................37 | | HP....................1270/1270 | | HP.....................1270/1270 | | MP......................179/179 | | MP.......................179/179 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o This battle is actually deceptively difficult. At first you don't notice, the enemies are scattered around quite far apart and while you are doing an uphill climb, it's not hard to pick them off as you go. Don't get too cocky by the time you reach the top though, every Diablo at the top has the Dark zone skill in place and there's a healer there to restore all of them if they take any damage. They go absolutely nuts with team attacks, from virtually any distance, and that's how they're going to get you. You NEED to have Linea stay low at the bottom sniping the enemies rather than sending people up, that's just suicide. Have a healer ready to support her and you'll be fine. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Lacuna Shrine | (000W7) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Diablo | | Rank.........Diablo | | Rank....High Priest | | Level............38 | | Level............38 | | Level............38 | | HP........1520/1520 | | HP........1520/1520 | | HP........1130/1130 | | MP..........211/211 | | MP..........211/211 | | MP..........355/355 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank....High Priest | | Rank.........Sniper | | Rank.........Sniper | | Level............38 | | Level............38 | | Level............38 | | HP........1130/1130 | | HP........1080/1080 | | HP........1080/1080 | | MP..........355/355 | | MP..........220/220 | | MP..........220/220 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank.............Devout Fanatic | | Rank..............Devout Fanatic | | Level........................38 | | Level.........................38 | | HP....................1505/1505 | | HP.....................1505/1505 | | MP......................173/173 | | MP.......................173/173 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank.....................Shadow | | Rank......................Shadow | | Level........................38 | | Level.........................38 | | HP....................1120/1120 | | HP.....................1120/1120 | | MP......................173/173 | | MP.......................173/173 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name.........Nebula Rank................Apostle Item.Survival Boots | | Level............39 Weapon............Rose Whip Item.....Magic Lamp | | HP........5790/5790 Armor...........Beast Armor Item.........ID Tag | | MP..........331/331 Headgear......Viking Helmet Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name.........Lumena Rank................Apostle Item.Survival Boots | | Level............39 Weapon..........Sonic Staff Item.........Potion | | HP........5190/5190 Armor...........Silver Robe Item............N/A | | MP..........527/527 Headgear.............Turban Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o You might be a little intimidated by the fact that you have to fight two bosses here, but don't be, it won't be much of an issue I assure you. What you want to do first is focus on taking down the enemies on either side of you when you start, followed by the easy foes straight up the path. You'll be confronted by the two bosses at this point, fortunately Nebula's Stone zone skill has been replaced by a less devastating HP/MP Absorb. Lumena's evasion is about as high as you've ever seen, but she seems to focus on healing so don't worry about attacking her at all at this point. Focus all your energy on Nebula. Despite being two bosses, damage Nebula critically and it's over. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Lacuna Shrine | (000W8) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank....High Priest | | Rank....High Priest | | Rank....High Priest | | Level............39 | | Level............39 | | Level............39 | | HP........1165/1165 | | HP........1165/1165 | | HP........1165/1165 | | MP..........355/355 | | MP..........355/355 | | MP..........355/355 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Sniper | | Rank.........Sniper | | Rank.........Sniper | | Level............39 | | Level............39 | | Level............39 | | HP........1155/1155 | | HP........1155/1155 | | HP........1155/1155 | | MP..........225/225 | | MP..........225/225 | | MP..........225/225 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Diablo | | Rank.........Diablo | | Rank.........Diablo | | Level............39 | | Level............39 | | Level............39 | | HP........1710/1710 | | HP........1710/1710 | | HP........1710/1710 | | MP..........216/216 | | MP..........216/216 | | MP..........216/216 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Diablo | | Rank.Devout Fanatic | | Rank.Devout Fanatic | | Level............39 | | Level............39 | | Level............39 | | HP........1710/1710 | | HP........1550/1550 | | HP........1550/1550 | | MP..........216/216 | | MP..........216/216 | | MP..........216/216 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name.........Nebula Rank................Apostle Item..Counter Guard | | Level............40 Weapon............Rose Whip Item.........ID Tag | | HP........6240/6240 Armor...........Beast Armor Item.........Potion | | MP..........433/433 Headgear.............Turban Item............N/A | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o Another battle follows the previous one immediately after, a fight once again versus Nebula. Fortunately Lumena is fighting for you side now so there's only one boss to focus all of your energy on. There are a couple ways to fight this battle, obviously you can move around fighting with every enemy you encounter, or you can be lazy and do it the way I did it. Have your party move forward and then as Linea, aim up and begin to snipe the enemies on that large platform way above you where the boss stands. The boss will use her abilities for awhile but you should be able to withstand it no problem. Eventually when she runs out of MP she will jump down from her position and come directly to your party. Not only will this make it so you don't have to fight all the enemies on the map, it'll also make it so the boss has absolutely no MP when she reaches you. It's pretty easy from there. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o \____________________________________________________________________________/ <== CHAPTER 5 - The Overlord's Ambition =====================================> /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ There's quite a few new quests available and tons of new merchandise to be found at the shop.

o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o You're faced with quite a few enemies here at the gate, but Echidna is your main target. You'll notice quite a few of the enemies are placed up in the far corners and on top, well for this reason it's not too difficult to make a mad rush for Echidna and defeat her before the other enemies really have time to do anything. I would recommend taking the time to waste the enemies directly in front of you at first, but after that it's fair game. Run up to Echidna and begin attacking, when it comes to boss difficulty she fits somewhere right in the middle. The most annoying part is her counterattack which activates roughly 75% of the time. For this reason Linea helps a lot. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Courtyard | (000WA) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.Ovrlord'sGuard | | Rank.Ovrlord'sGuard | | Rank.Ovrlord'sGuard | | Level............41 | | Level............41 | | Level............41 | | HP........1810/1810 | | HP........1810/1810 | | HP........1810/1810 | | MP..........195/195 | | MP..........195/195 | | MP..........195/195 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank...........Sage | | Rank...........Sage | | Rank...........Sage | | Level............41 | | Level............41 | | Level............41 | | HP........1225/1225 | | HP........1225/1225 | | HP........1225/1225 | | MP..........285/285 | | MP..........285/285 | | MP..........285/285 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........General | | Rank........General | | Rank........General | | Level............41 | | Level............41 | | Level............41 | | HP........1600/1600 | | HP........1600/1600 | | HP........1600/1600 | | MP..........185/185 | | MP..........185/185 | | MP..........185/185 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........General | | Rank.........Sniper | | Rank.........Sniper | | Level............41 | | Level............41 | | Level............41 | | HP........1600/1600 | | HP........1225/1225 | | HP........1225/1225 | | MP..........185/185 | | MP..........235/235 | | MP..........235/235 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o What you will want to do in preparation for this battle is equip as many Anti- Sleep skills on your characters as you possibly can. Croire has a Sleep type Zone skill that reaches pretty far, it will be almost impossible for you to dodge it. One thing you should make note of however is Lumena's incredible ability which cures the status of everyone on the field, regardless of range. It may really come in handy for this battle. Make your way around the water area to reach Croire, be sure to eliminate the enemies on the way so they don't distract you while you fight. Once you reach Croire pump every last offensive attack you have into him, remember the effectiveness of Arrow Dodge. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Grand Hall | (000WB) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank...........Sage | | Rank...........Sage | | Rank...........Sage | | Level............42 | | Level............42 | | Level............42 | | HP........1260/1260 | | HP........1260/1260 | | HP........1260/1260 | | MP..........291/291 | | MP..........291/291 | | MP..........291/291 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank................Golem:Gamma | | Rank.................Golem:Gamma | | Level........................42 | | Level.........................42 | | HP....................2085/2085 | | HP.....................2085/2085 | | MP......................281/281 | | MP.......................281/281 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank................Golem:Gamma | | Rank.................Golem:Gamma | | Level........................42 | | Level.........................42 | | HP....................2085/2085 | | HP.....................2085/2085 | | MP......................281/281 | | MP.......................281/281 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name..........Viser Rank...................Sage Item.Aged Gauntlets | | Level............43 Weapon........Dancing Blade Item.Survival Boots | | HP........6960/6960 Armor..........Dragon Scale Item......Wyrm Fang | | MP..........460/460 Headgear......Viking Helmet Item.........ID Tag | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o There are a couple ways to go about fighting this battle. For me the preferable way is to eliminate the enemies near the start and then allow Viser to run down toward you. He'll bring the other enemies with him. At this point you should have Linea attack and then with the rest of your party RETREAT toward the back of the area. Viser will almost always begin with a devastating team attack which deals about 1000 damage to any member of your party, don't let it be Spero. Once the team attack is out of the way you can go in with swords flailing. Keeping the golems alive is an option I would not recommend, it will take some time to defeat Viser and their beams will really hurt. I recommend Spero's Cosmic Nova, it works extremely well. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Barrage (Throne Room) | (000WC) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank........General | | Rank........General | | Rank........General | | Level............43 | | Level............43 | | Level............43 | | HP........1690/1690 | | HP........1690/1690 | | HP........1690/1690 | | MP..........193/193 | | MP..........193/193 | | MP..........193/193 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.Ovrlord'sGuard | | Rank.Ovrlord'sGuard | | Rank.Ovrlord'sGuard | | Level............43 | | Level............43 | | Level............43 | | HP........1910/1910 | | HP........1910/1910 | | HP........1910/1910 | | MP..........203/203 | | MP..........203/203 | | MP..........203/203 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank.....................Sniper | | Rank......................Sniper | | Level........................43 | | Level.........................43 | | HP....................1295/1295 | | HP.....................1295/1295 | | MP......................245/245 | | MP.......................245/245 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name.........??????

That is indeed what this is though, the final stretch of the game, and they're not going to make it easy. Now for this battle I would recommend a different approach from other recent ones, rather than going directly for the boss if I were you I would do everything I can to try and eliminate ALL enemies before you have to face this guy, he can be a real bitch. His skills and physical attacks inflict the Stone and Sleep ailments respectively so you have to be prepared to protect against both. THe enemies have Zone skills and such that will really get in the way when you're trying to fight the boss which is why I suggest killing them off. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Cathedral 2nd Floor | (000WD) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o | Rank.........Diablo | | Rank.........Diablo | | Rank.........Diablo | | Level............43 | | Level............43 | | Level............43 | | HP........1972/1972 | | HP........1972/1972 | | HP........1972/1972 | | MP..........244/244 | | MP..........244/244 | | MP..........244/244 | o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------o o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o | Rank................High Priest | | Rank.................High Priest | | Level........................43 | | Level.........................43 | | HP....................1381/1381 | | HP.....................1381/1381 | | MP......................376/376 | | MP.......................376/376 | o---------------------------------o o----------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name.........??????

The one thing you should note is that after you kill the boss, she doesn't actually die but instead remains alive with a single hit point. If you don't expect this you might find her taking you out right as you think you win the battle, so prepare for this in advance and be ready to attack with another character directly after the one striking the final blow. o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o / \ tella Deus /--------------------------------------------------------------o / -----o-----\ Wreckage of the Cathedral | (000WE) \-------------------------------------------------------------o o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o | Name.........??????

Item.........?????? | o-----------------------------------------------------------------------o It's time to face the final battle, which really is surprisingly non-difficult (at least compared to fights you've been facing recently.) This boss indeed has quite a bit of HP, somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000, but assuming you've got your healers with you capable of healing the party (and casting support magic) you should be just fine. It's up to you from here ;) o---------------------------- MISSION COMPLETE ------------------------------o You beat the game. Good job!
