Blue Dragon Disk 1%

General
I recommend Copying this into a word processor of your choice and formatting it for readability (like color coding characters)

Center the camera behind your party with LT.
Switch characters with RB & LB in the menu.
Hold LB or RB in battle to see your parties status / buffs /debuffs.
You can skip the 'area intro' cutscenes with start.
You can skip the 'inn sleeping' cutscenes with start.
Throwing Stumbomb into walls will cause it to explode faster.
If you lose track of your gold you can check it in the top right when menuing / shopping

See runs for more specific details on item locations and enemy dodges
Money route here is probably overkill as its based off the any% and I haven't bothered to fix it that much.

Optional / Safety - Under Drill Machine Chest: Mega MP Up Elixir
	Only if you get the Mega MP Up Elixir: *Thorn Vines - Pick up from Drill Machine Treads, if you get this you don't need the Thorn Vine pick up from the empty pot

Explanation: In the old route you would give the Mega MP Up Elixir to Marumaro so he would have 33Mp for King Ghost, enough for 2 Flara's. Without the Mega MP Up Elixir MM would only have 23Mp, one off being able to cast 2 Flara's. However you can skip picking up the Mega MP Up Elixir and instead pick up 15mp restore for the party from the glowing red plant next to the chest with the Elder Tree's soul. This does cost some Hp but you don't care about / fix Jiro's Hp until the next full heal.

Your goal is to let no more than 1 Full Flara hit KG before his 2nd turn, 2 Full Flara's after KG's second turn, then hit him with 3 more Full Flaras to kill him before he summons, for a total of 6 Flara's.

If KG does summon use Grand Ruby to clear the Summoned Shooter Ghosts and Thief Ghosts, BUT make sure you have Flara's charged up for when KG rejoins the battle as KG will use Earthshock on it's next turn, wiping the party.

No checkpoint for this fight, begin the 'stun lock' for the boss before reviving Jiro if the boss crit's.

Half way Down first bridge then turn back

Wait for Ruby Halbird to despawn, then go across bridge from right side and climb down.
If the Ruby Halbird isn't immediately heading towards the cliff face then you can get past it without waiting for it to despawn. But it's random based off its spawn / pathing.

Runners Decision: On the bottom level the first chest contains Sleep Powder which can be used during the 4 Steel-Eating Tiger fight at the end of Wagon Defence to minimise attacks from Tigers. But this strategy is dependant on turn order as you need to use a Grand Ruby on the Tigers before the Sleep Powder in order to kill the Tigers with a full charged Ground (as any damage will wake the Tigers up and return them to their original turn order).

Optional: the second chest has a Broken Eternal Engine that can be sold for 1000G if you're short on Gold.

<<DULLAHAN>>
Hp 1200
Exp 570
SP 8

Jiro = Phoenix Talon, Ground when nobody is dead
Kluke = Wall
Shu + MM = Ground

50% ground does ~55 damage before defence/magic defence down & ~110 after defence/magic defence down
100% ground does ~70 Damage before defence/magic defence down & ~160 after defence/magic defence down

Dullahan will use Sonic Blade (will always go first), Charge, Charge, Defend, Sonic Blade, Charge, charge, defend, etc until it's Hp triggers Steel Prayer or Last Resort.

Dullahan ALWAYS Charges the character with the lowest HP relative to their max HP

Dullahan will use Steel Prayer (heal + invincible until it's next turn) between 50% and 40% Hp (or 600 and 720 damage done)
Dullahan will use Last resort when under 30% Hp (840 damage done)

The goal is to skip both Steel Prayer (Priority) and Last Resort (bonus), Recommend counting Dullahan's Hp (or damage done) and adjusting depending on how the fight is going

Simplified Dullahan
3 100% Grounds (~360 damage done including the reduced damage before defence/magic defence down)
2 50% Grounds (or 1 uncharged and 1 70% if a character would die before getting a 50% charge ground off) (~580 damage done)
Give Dullahan a turn
2 70% (or a 100% and a 40%) Grounds (~770 damage done)
Give Dullahan a turn
Kluke use the Flawless Amethyst (920 damage done)
2 100% Grounds (~1190 damage done)
1 uncharged Ground

It's possible to do enough damage the the uncharged last ground isn't needed for the kill, but the damage ranges needed could push you into steel prayer / last resort range.


100% Charge Ground to trigger Dullahan's defence/magic defence down
Two 50% charges
One 100% charge (this should bring Dullahan to just above 50% Hp)
Make sure Dullahan gets a turn here to not trigger Steel Prayer
Two 100% charge's Should put Dullahan at just over 30% Hp
Make sure Dullahan gets a turn here to not trigger Last Resort
Highest charge you can get without giving Dullahan a turn and have Kluke use the Flawless Amethyst

If a 50% charge triggered Dullahan's first defence/magic defence down then you will need to to three 50% charges to avoid over damaging Dullahan and triggering Steel Prayer.

Do not heal with Light Crystals, as someone surviving a Charge and being in the back row is very bad (starts using Blast)

If Dullahan does use Last Resort have Kluke use Flawless Amethyst

Try to time Walls for after Sonic Blade (turn after he defends)
Make sure you have a Wall on everyone before he uses last resort (Unless you can get the kill)

Defend with Zola and/or at the start if you can to possibly save a Phoenix Talon
Revive Kluke and any 2 of MM/Shu/Jiro. (Remember this is just a disk 1 run)
Full Charge Ground and 50% Water

If two characters (usually Zola and Jiro) would get turns before the Steel-Eating Tigers attack you can have the first character use a Grand Ruby and the second use Sleep Powder. This will put all the Tigers to sleep avoiding bite / revive animations and allowing you to kill them with a full charge Ground. You have to use the Grand Ruby first as the Tigers will return to their original turn order once they wake up.

Take note of who is dead at the end of the fight, as the lost exp/sp will effect who to give the Fire Necklace to for the Sai fight.
If everyone is alive for the tigers fight, the Ku fight and the Mai fight then give the Fire Necklace to Zola.
If everyone lived on the tigers fight, then just Zola died on Ku give the Fire Necklace to Jiro
If some other combination you're just going to have to compare % Hp on the characters after the Double Axe fight or just play super safe and give the Fire Necklace to Kluke.
Note: If you didn't get summon skip on King Ghost exp will be different and as such the above may not be accurate.

<<SILENT KU>>
HP 2420
Exp 410
Sp 6

Recommend Counting Hp (or damage done)

Ku will start the fight with the following pattern:
Double Shot (targeting highest HP% going from left to right if there is a tie), Double Shot, Gunman Mode, Gunman Mode Release, Double Shot / Multi-shot,  Double Shot / Multi-shot, Gunman Mode, Gunman Mode Release. You should be able to kill Ku before Ku can use a second Gunman Mode.

In general charge Flara's for before each of his turns, except when Ku uses Gunman Mode then charge for after his turn if possible (especially with Jiro)

Advanced: If Jiro goes first (Immediately after Ku's first Double Shot) and Ku is in or over the red spot on the charge bar, Jiro can get a full charge Flara off, otherwise aim for Red spot.
If Ku hasn't taken his second turn yet you can charge the other characters for red spot.
If Ku is under ~40% of the turn bar when it's going to use Gunman Mode you can full charge Flara's and they will hit after Ku exits Gunman Mode.

Kluke + MM + Zola: Flara, Phoenix Talons if / when needed
Shu + Jiro: Flara

<<HEAT-WAVE SAI>>
HP 3700
Exp 410
Sp 9

Recommend counting Hp (or damage done)
Kluke has a good chance of living one throw bomb, if you want, for safety you can guarantee Kluke lives by giving her the Fire Necklace.
If Zola is Level 17 she has a good chance of living one throw bomb.

Kluke: Wall, only Shadowa when Wall is good or you can get the kill, Talon in emergency
Shu + Jiro + MM + Zola: Shadowa, Phoenix Talons when needed
Light Crystal if Superheated Breath (you shouldn't need to)

Sai's Throw Bomb has a preference for targeting the lowest % Hp character. Assuming I've done the math right it's either 71% to target the lowest % hp character or 63% (depending on how the targeting checks work).

Sai will not use Superheated breath if it's been hit by 5 attacks before it's 5th turn.
Sai will use 'double punch' on it's next turn if it is hit by 5 attacks before Sai's 5th turn, then on the turn after Sai will start juggling a bomb and then will use Throw Bomb's on the turn after.

Before Wall goes up time Shadowa's before Sai's turn. (Instant Shadowa's are fine)
After Wall Goes up you can charge Shadowa as high as you can (unless the character is at risk of being hit without wall up on Sai's next turn)

Don't attack his bomb and make sure Wall is ready for Throw Bombs (or kill before throw bombs if possible)
Sai will use Rolling Punch on the 3rd turn after it goes below 40% hp (1480 Hp or 2220 damage done), So make sure Wall is up! (Or kill before Sai uses it)

If you are confident in the fight, you don't need to revive Zola if she dies on or after Sai's third turn.

Use Heal Machine

Sp 8

Shu: Instant Slow, then High Charge Shadowa
Jiro + Kluke + MM + Zola: High Charge Shadowa

Use a Cure-All if someone is Paralyzed or Silenced

Kesu will use Chop up on its 5th turn, Chop up tends to target the character with the lowest HP relative to their max HP and does ~90 damage
Kesu will only and just use Knife Storm when under 20% Hp (440 Hp or 1760 damage done)

Play Mechat in Easy Mode
No to tutorial

Fire missiles one at a time. Make sure you get a refresh (by destroying Nene's missiles) before Nene moves to another side. (Nene will go: front, back, left, right)

In phase 2 debris from Nene's Mechat can block your Missiles so you need to wait for it to stop shedding debris before using missiles

Optimally you can do the below.
However Mechat Chase isn't completely understood, so the safer route is to wait for a missile refresh when Nene is to the right of you before going into phase 2 with full missiles (So shoot Nene's missile down, and then fire a missile before your missiles are fully restocked.)

Hit Nene with 4 missile's when he's at the front (with a missile refresh)
4 missile's when Nene is behind you
1 missile to the left
1 missile to the right

Phase 2
2 missiles to end the minigame
