  3.  
  4. Platform: Snes / SFC
  5. Released (d.m.y):
  6. 02.12.1994 (Japan)
  7. 12.1995 (NA)
  8. 25.04.1996 (PAL)
  9.  
  10. Based on: NTSC-J-version (SHVC-AF2J-JPN)
  11.

  13.  
  14. - The game does not show you your play time. Consider tracking it
  15. manually.
  16. - Check the BoF2 guide by Ben Siron for information on the mechanics
  17. of the game. Do note, however, that it's got numerous typos in the
  18. numbers. Over the years, corrections have been made and additional
  19. information has been uncovered by others, mainly Nitrodon.
  20. - The game's game over policy is the "golden parachute;" when you die,
  21. you lose half of the money you're carrying and end up at the last save
  22. point you used. If you can't return to that save point, you'll end up
  23. at some other location.
  24. - Inventory slots: 48 | Storage slots: 126
  25. - Stats
  26. Tsuyosa (Str) | Base ATP
  27. Stamina | Base DFP
  28. Subayasa (Agi) | Base Koudouryoku ("ability to act"), chance to flee
  29. Kashikosa (Int) | Magical damage and defense, debuff hit rate / resistance
  30. Un no Yosa (Luck) | Chance to flee, Cond. changes
  31. Konjou (Guts) | Special abilities
  32. Choushi (Cond) | Critical hit rate, Counterattack rate, Evade rate
  33.  
  34. - Vigor = Agi - armor weight. Vigor determines acting order during battle.
  35. - The actual Guts value is not visible. Instead, the game shows flames,
  36. with each flame representing 32 points. Guts is the only stat that
  37. features some random variation in how it increases on leveling up.
  38. - The actual Condition value is not visible. Instead, the game shows a
  39. description (Futsuu / Mazumazu / Eekanji / Baribari) that changes every
  40. 64 points. Condition increases (or possibly decreases) as you spend time
  41. on the field.
  42. - Baribari Condition gives you a base critical hit rate of 37,5%, a
  43. counterattack rate of 50% and an evade rate of 18,75%.
  44. - A counterattack will be a critical hit if the character has landed a
  45. critical hit earlier that round.
  46. - Counterattacks ignore elemental variables.
  47. - Defending decreases damage by either 50%, 36%, 25%, or 19% and affects
  48. both physical and magical damage.
  49. - When a character dies, they have a small chance of being revived with
  50. 12,5% HP.
  51. - Depending on your formation, the game applies additional multipliers
  52. to damage dealt (Dmg a), damage received (Dmg b) and critical hit rate.

  69.  
  70. - A few enemies are highly resistant to magic, but they'll still take
  71. normal damage from spells that are triggered by using items.
  72. - The Exp figure you see at the end of battle is the combined total
  73. amount of Exp all characters gained. Exp is not divided.
  74. - You can surprise the enemy, but the enemy can't surprise you.
  75. - There are three different encounter rates: low, medium and high, as
  76. indicated by the goblin in the menu.
  77. - The overworld consists of 256 (16x16) map sections. By default, each
  78. map section on the overworld has a medium encounter rate (K7 being the
  79. one exception), but it drops to low if Ryuu has reached a certain level.
  80. - Encounters have a fixed set of enemies, but a random variable often
  81. removes one enemy or more from the set.
  82. - Elemental resistance provided by equipment is often quite insignificant.
  83. - Spells can deal critical hits (1,5x damage).
  84. - Equipping two items that grant regen will not increase the effect.
  85. Regeneration will not occur when moving as a frog, rolling, surfing,
  86. flying or when in Huntsvil.
  87. - If you want to stack items without messing up your custom item
  88. arrangement, put them into storage.
  89.  
  90. - Common healing items Uncommon healing items

  98. Bannouyaku s| Heal status s: stackable
  99.  
  100. - Status ailments:
  101. Poison | -1 HP per step (nothing in battle).
  102. Sleep | Unable to act until hit with a physical.
  103. Rotting | Turn into a Zombie at the end of the next round.
  104. Zombie | Character attacks own party members.
  105. Curse | Choushi 0
  106.  
  107. - Enemies generally inflict ailments using either a single target or
  108. a multi-target attack. The single target one also deals damage, while
  109. the multi-target one does not. Both have what seems like a 50% success
  110. rate.
  111. - Many spells produce visual effects that you shouldn't look at.
  112. - If you want to translate any of the Japanese words, just punch it
  113. into jisho.org.
  114. - The game gives you the option of turning the music off (one of the
  115. very few RPGs on the Snes that lets you do that). While I'm certainly
  116. very fond of the soundtrack, I do turn the music off at times (such as
  117. in SimaFort, when cooking and possibly when grinding).

  151. - The path to the mountain will be blocked until you speak to one
  152. of the women in front of the second house (the right one).
  153. - After the scene at the mountain, go talk to the preacher.

  166.  
  167. - You can rest for free in your apartment on the second floor of the
  168. building near the front gate (not the inn).
  169. - You can't explore the northern part of the town at this time.
  170. - Some buildings are locked at night, and there are also fewer NPCs
  171. around at night. Aside from that, the day and night cycle only really
  172. has a cosmetic effect.
  173. - You can exit the menu instantly by pressing X.
  174. - Don't forget to save your game at the dragon god statue.
  175. - Use L and R to switch the lead character on the field.
  176.  
  177. - Don't forget to make use of the handy Auto-Battle (Totsugeki) command.
  178. - Using L and R during battle gives you the Switch and Defend commands.
  179. - You should buy a Dou no Ken and a Tetsu no Kou (370 Z).
  180. - I recommend against updating Bow's equipment. He'll soon end up MIA
  181. and will stay that way for quite a long time.
  182. - Ryu's special skill, Kiai, allows him to heal some of his HP.
  183. - Bow's default special skill, Nerau, has him attempting an instant kill.
  184. (success rate goes down for higher level enemies). His field ability is
  185. hunting.
  186. - Press Select on the overworld to view the world map. It employs map
  187. section based fog.
  188. - The encounter rate in the HomeTown map section drops from high to low
  189. once Ryuu hits Lv5. The neighboring map sections (that have the same
  190. encounters) will still have a medium encounter rate at that point, and
  191. it doesn't drop until you hit Lv8.
  192. - After every battle on the overworld, there's a chance that a fishing
  193. spot or hunting spot will become available. Fishing spots have fixed
  194. locations, whereas hunting spots appear in a random tile. After getting
  195. a kill while hunting, pick up the item as quickly as possible or the
  196. item will degrade in quality or even disappear. When an animal is in
  197. a bush, it can't see you, but you can't damage it.
  198. - If you feel that accumulating money from fighting battles is too slow,
  199. you can sell fish and items obtained through hunting. Hunting in particular
  200. can be a significant source of income at the earlier stages of the game.
  201. A full batch of Roosu will net you 1800 Z, although you should probably
  202. hoard up on it as well, seeing as it fully heals a single character's HP.
  203. - Don't bother traveling east across the bridge yet. Not only are the
  204. enemies tough, but there's nowhere to go, as there's a guy blocking
  205. your way north, and the Exp isn't much better than what you get in the
  206. mountain.
  207.  
  208. Items: Hachigane, Hissatsu no Honoo \\\ Futabi Yama ||
  209. Lost & Found: Tetsu no Kou (Corpse), Omamori (Chibi Goblin)
  210. Boss(es): Paaro, Pijo & Putti
  211. - You can probably survive here at Lv3. Stay by the healing spring and
  212. level up to at least Lv5. Leveling up on the overworld will get you
  213. more money, though (assuming you're okay at hunting).
  214. - You'll stop getting encounters in the outside areas once you've fought
  215. 15 battles there.
  216. - You'll fight the boss after passing through the first cave area.
  217.  
  218. [Boss]
  219. - 80 / 40 / 40 HP, 150 Exp, 27 Zenny in total
  220.  
  221. - Make sure you find both chests before you jump down the hole.
  222.  
  223. Item (nc): Suzy (Special, Temp) \\\ Haikyo ||
  224. Boss: Gokiburi b
  225. - There's a fishing spot with a treasure chest (Tetsu no Udewa) nearby,
  226. but you don't have a rod that can pull it up yet.
  227.  
  228. [Boss]
  229. - 100 HP, 64 Exp, 15 Z
  230. - There's a good chance it'll regenerate its health upon hitting 0 HP.
  231.  
  232. Item (nc): 500 Z \\\ Moto no Machi ||
  233. - As I mentioned, Bow will soon leave the party and remain off the
  234. grid for a good amount of time. Better stock up on those Yakusous.
  235. - Report to the guild master.
  236. |
  237. [PC: - Bow]
  238.  
  239. - Go talk to Kilgore, then return to your apartment to find Bow.
  240.  
  241. \\\ Haikyo ||
  242. - After the event, head northeast.
  243.  
  244. \\\ Coursair ||
  245. Items (nc): Mamorikemuri, Yakusou, Nuno no Fuku, Yakusou, (Eva no Sho)
  246. Shop:
  247. Rokkakubou 250 Z Genkidama 50 Z
  248. Kawa no Leotard 320 Z Chiryoku no Mi 200 Z
  249. Ranger Suit 510 Z Kiyome no Tsuyu 200 Z
  250. Seidou no Kabuto 390 Z Bemu no Namida 100 Z
  251.  
  252. - There's no dragon statue here. You'll have to save at the church.
  253. - Ranger Suit, Seidou no Kabuto = 900 Z.
  254. - Maniro A can be caught at the fishing spot outside of Coursair, but
  255. you really shouldn't use a Coin on that. You can't afford the stuff anyway.
  256. - If you donate to the church 20 times (2000 Z) either here or in Moto
  257. no Machi, you'll obtain the elusive, yet ultimately useless, key item
  258. Eva no Sho.
  259. - Talk to Rand at the pub at night (if it's day, you can talk to the
  260. barkeep to wait), then head north.
  261.  
  262. \\\ Taguji no Mori ||
  263. Items: Yakusou, 100 Z, Yakusou, Coin, Mamorikemuri, 100 Z
  264. Item (nc): Babaderu no Ono (Special)
  265. Boss: Babaderu
  266. - Do *not* travel west or north from the woods!
  267. - Lv7 is enough to survive here, but you need to stay near or at max HP
  268. at all times.
  269. - Make sure you hang on to that Coin. We'll need it for fishing later.
  270. It's not even possible to sell it, so...
  271.  
  272. [Boss]
  273. - 169 HP, 150 Exp, 100 Z
  274.  
  275. Item: 1000 Z \\\ Coursair ||
  276. Item (nc): Hikaeshitsu no Kagi (Special, Temp)
  277. PCs: Katt (Rinpuu) Lv6, Rand Lv6
  278. Default (Katt): Ki no Bou (Artifact), Nuno no Fuku, Wristband, Bandana
  279. Default (Rand): Hand Knuckle (Unique), Kawa no Yoroi, Wristband, Bandana
  280. Bosses: Katt, Augus
  281. - Go deposit all your money at the bank. Heal up and save while you're
  282. at it.
  283. - Check back with Rand at the pub. After that, you're free to enter
  284. the Coliseum.
  285. - After fighting Jinjibuchou (169 xp) and getting the key, head for the
  286. dress room, but do NOT open the chest (the one in the right room. The
  287. left one is a dummy, but feel free to try and get it). Ignore it for
  288. now and just try to open the door beside it to make Rand appear. Once
  289. he's taken all your money, it's okay to grab the chest.
  290.  
  291. [Boss]
  292. - 220 HP, 200 Exp, 80 Z
  293. - After the battle, you're supposed to cover Katt, so she doesn't get
  294. hit by the needles (simply hold up on the d-pad). If you succeed, she'll
  295. join you right away. If you screw up, she'll join you after Augus.
  296. |
  297. [PC: Katt]
  298.  
  299. - Get new gear (690 Z) and 2 levels for Katt. You can also get a Seidou
  300. no Kabuto for Rand.
  301. - Katt's default special skill, Sasou, tries to force enemies to attack
  302. her. I've never gotten any use out of it. On the field, she can hunt and
  303. smash things with her staff.
  304. - You're going to need the money, so you should learn how to hunt properly
  305. with Katt. Don't approach the animals directly and time your attacks well.
  306. - Katt learns three powerful spells early in the game, but won't have
  307. enough AP to cast them for a long time (Gureigoru (17) at Lv39, Padoraamu
  308. (20) at Lv61, Baruharaa (30) at Lv74).
  309.  
  310. [PC: Rand]
  311. |
  312. [Boss]
  313. - 680 HP, 150 Exp, 300 Z
  314. - He gets two turns per round and hits really hard when he uses his
  315. charge attack. With a little luck and prompt healing, you should be okay.
  316. |
  317. [PC: (Katt)]
  318.  
  319. - Go pick up a Kawa no Leotard and a Tetsu no Kou for Nina before you
  320. head back to Niro's place.
  321.  
  322. \\\ Haikyo ||
  323. [PC: - Rand]
  324. - Rand leaves the party here and will remain MIA for the next two dungeons.
  325.  
  326. Item (nc): Yakusou \\\ Moto no Machi ||
  327. - Go see Nina at the magic school, then head for Mt. Rocko.
  328.  
  329. \\\ Rocko Yama ||
  330. Items: Lucky Bonbon, Gin no Knife, 100 Z, 1000 Z
  331. Lost & Found: Yakusou / Gin no Knife (Trickster)
  332. PC: Nina Lv8
  333. Default (Nina): Ring (Unique), Nuno no Fuku, Wristband, Bandana
  334. Boss: Joker-sama
  335. - There's a little puzzle here involving the name of the boss's nephew,
  336. but you can easily just ignore it. Getting it right allows you to skip
  337. one of the event battles.
  338.  
  339. [PC: Nina]
  340. |
  341. [Boss]
  342. - 580 HP, 300 Exp, 200 Z, W:I, R:F
  343. - Have Nina switch her equipment from the item menu (ie. during the battle).
  344.  
  345. - Nina's default special skill, Kiryoku, allows her to restore some of her AP.
  346. - Grab a Seidou no Kabuto for Sten on your way to Windia (NW of Coursair).
  347.  
  348. Items (nc): Ki no Bou (Artifact), 100 Z \\\ Windia ||
  349. PC: Sten Lv8
  350. Default (Sten): Boy Knife, Nuno no Fuku, Wristband, Hachigane
  351. Shop:
  352. Long Sword 620 Z Kusarikatabira 720 Z
  353. Dagger 290 Z Madoushi no Robe 530 Z
  354. Magician Ring 530 Z Seidou no Tate 510 Z
  355. Revet Knuckle 460 Z Glass no Domino 380 Z
  356.  
  357. [PC: Sten]
  358. - Dagger, 3 Kusarikatabira, Madoushi no Robe, 2 Seidou no Tate,
  359. 2 Glass no Domino = 4760 Z
  360. - Stock up on Antidotes.
  361. - You can use Sten's field ability to cross small gaps like the one
  362. found south of Windia.
  363. - Sten's default special skill, Shinimane, is, er... not worth using.
  364.  
  365. \\\ Windia / Capitan Region ||
  366. Lost & Found: Coin (Killer Goblin), Dou no Ken / Lamellar Armor (Lizardman),
  367. Omamori (Hitode Kinoko)

  369. Item (nc): Genkidama \\\ Hunter Goya ||
  370. Item (nc): Kitsukeyaku \\\ Keha no Mori ||
  371.  
  372. Items: Rifuraru Ekisu, Omamori \\\ Capitan ||
  373. Items (nc): Kawa no Yoroi, Biru Medal (Artifact), Chiryoku no Mi, Konjoudama
  374. Boss: Goncharov
  375. - Stay away from the well for now.
  376. - The Biru Medals will have no use, so you don't really need to pick
  377. them up. No big deal if you do. They stack, so, at most, they'll take
  378. 2 slots of your storage.
  379. - You'll likely have to level up for a while before you can take out the
  380. next boss. Lv10 is enough, but I would recommend a little higher than that.
  381.  
  382. [Boss]
  383. - 1300 HP, 300 Exp, 500 Z
  384. - Honoo no Iki: 30 pod to all. Quake: ~20 pod to all.
  385. - Seishinha will force one of your characters to attack your own party.
  386.  
  387. - After the battle, Ray asks you to rescue the villagers in the well.
  388. There are 6 people in total and four of them have been attacked by
  389. facehuggers. You don't actually have to rescue any of them. Just talk
  390. to Ray and tell him you're done.
  391. - Whatever you do, do *not* save more than 4 villagers.
  392. - If you use a multitarget spell, the villager will get hit first and
  393. inevitably die, forcing the battle to end before the Chiroru is even
  394. hit by the spell. In any case, these battles are always worth 0 xp and
  395. Zenny.
  396. - Afterwards, Ray asks you to take him to your hideout (henceforth
  397. referred to as Kyoudoutai). Better not save your game in case you get
  398. the wrong spell.
  399.  
  400. PC: Rand \\\ Kyoudoutai ||
  401. Special: Apurifu / Ribaru
  402. - Ray will offer to teach one of your characters either Apurifu (0-4
  403. villagers saved) or Ribaru (5 or 6 villagers saved). I'd say it's a
  404. choice between Sten and Nina, so go with whoever you're planning on
  405. using more often.
  406. - Rand can now join the party again.
  407. - Rand's field ability allows you to move more quickly, although hitting
  408. something will force you into a random encounter.
  409. - Rand's special skill, Kitsuke, has a chance of reviving a dead character
  410. with 1 HP. You can also use it to wake up a sleeping party member.
  411. - From now on, you can change party members at dragon statues.
  412.  
  413. \\\ Capitan ||
  414. - Talk to the girl in red with Ryu in the lead.
  415.  
  416. \\\ Keha no Mori ||
  417. Special: Fire Puppy, Ice Puppy, Thunder Puppy, Sanamo (Fire Shaman)
  418. - After the Union experiment, head back to Capitan. Talk to the guy
  419. next to the inn to get warped back to Kyoudoutai, where Granny asks
  420. you to go and find a carpenter in Capitan.
  421. - The three new spells you received are quite powerful, but they will
  422. always drain all of Ryu's AP when used.
  423.  
  424. \\\ Capitan ||
  425. - The carpenter you want is definitely the guy in the east-most
  426. building (the regular-looking house). Do *NOT* choose any other
  427. carpenter!
  428. - Choosing the guy who makes normal houses allows you to create
  429. stat-boost items by cooking.
  430. - Afterwards, you can finally catch a boat to access the western
  431. continent.
  432.  
  433. Party Level: ~15
  434.  
  435. \\\ Swimmer Region ||
  436. Lost & Found: Ishiyoroi / Daichi no Yoroi (Ganmen Iwa \ 1),
  437. Namazu no Ikari (Hadashi Namazu)
  438. - You can rest for free at the camp site near the lake.
  439. - Watch out for those Ganmen Iwas. Itetsuku Iki tends to hurt (~50 pod
  440. to all).
  441.  
  442. - From now on, you're more likely to run into Beaks and Grizzlies while
  443. hunting. Coming into contact with them will initiate a battle (and thus
  444. end the hunting session). Beaks will actively pursue you, take 6 hits
  445. to kill, leave no items, and to top it all off, they respawn after 10
  446. seconds. They're not common yet at this point in the game, but eventually
  447. they will be. If you hit them at the bottom of the screen, you can
  448. basically take them out with a single hit (they'll move off-screen and,
  449. thus, despawn, but they'll still respawn).
  450.  
  451. Maniro B: \\\ Fishing Spot ||
  452. Buster Sword 2200 Z
  453. Kenja no Robe 3000 Z
  454. Kokuyou no Kabuto 1800 Z
  455.  
  456. - This one shows up very close to the Yamaneko Restaurant. You need to
  457. stay within three vertical tiles from the restaurant. Otherwise, you're
  458. in the wrong map section.
  459. - You'll find Maniros in certain fishing spots. When you catch one, you
  460. can access their shop. The only bait that works is the Coin. It takes
  461. 15 seconds for Maniro to show up. Keep your lure close and you should
  462. be able to catch them with little effort.
  463. - You can get a free Kenja no Robe at Majo no Tou, so don't buy one.
  464. - You'll find a Circlet in the cave behind the waterfall (available
  465. after Majo no Tou). It's one point higher than the Kokuyou no Kabuto,
  466. and everyone can equip it (except for Rand, of course).
  467. - Buster Sword, 2 Kokuyou no Kabuto = 5800 Z.
  468.  
  469. - There's a hidden tech you can get at the WildCat Restaurant, but it's
  470. a lot easier once you have Jean. Keep in mind, you won't be able to get
  471. it anymore once you've been to SimaFort.
  472.  
  473. \\\ Majo no Tou ||
  474. Items: Bannouyaku, 5× 100 Z, 3× 1 Z, 1000 Z, Yakusou, Silk no Tebukuro,
  475. Sorceror Ring, Kenja no Robe, Chie no Wa, Chie no Tama
  476. Lost & Found: Tokkouyaku / Fire Ring (Fachan),
  477. Seidou no Kabuto / Tetsu no Tate (Orc), Sorceror Ring / Fire Ring (Nymph)
  478. Special: Seso (Water Shaman)
  479. Boss: Majo Nymph
  480. - You can force yourself a random encounter by stepping on the platform
  481. with a character other than Ryu. Stepping on the switch thingie with
  482. Ryu will also trigger encounters, and once you do it a bunch of times
  483. in a row, the gate will open, and the switch won't do anything anymore.
  484. If you leave the tower, the gate will reset, forcing you to repeat the
  485. process.
  486. - You can ignore the chest (it's empty) and the NPC in the first room.
  487. - If you go east in the area with the last two chests, you'll jump out
  488. of the tower.
  489.  
  490. [Boss]
  491. - 550 HP, 400 Exp, 400 Z
  492.  
  493. - You can now get the Water Shaman, Seso, on the fourth floor (ride
  494. the right-most platform in the Amidakuji room). If you're planning on
  495. using Jean, you should go get him first, so he can start gaining
  496. experience as soon as possible.
  497. - If you're not feeling too obsessive, you should keep your fusion list
  498. short by only doing the fusions that are the most useful.
  499.  
  500. PC: Jean (Tapeta) Lv10 \\\ Sharon no Mori ||
  501. Default (Jean): Short Rapier (Unique), Kawa no Yoroi, Seidou no Tate,
  502. Hachigane
  503. - As you exit the woods, you'll be notified that TownShip has reached
  504. phase 2. This means you can start inviting people to come live in your
  505. village. Before you do that, though, you should go pick up the Chie no
  506. Tama from house #2. Once (or if) you sign up Remington, you can no longer
  507. reach the cupboard in question.
  508. - This is where I (somewhat briefly) get to use my usual party:
  509. Ryu, Katt, Jean, Sten.
  510. - Jean's field ability allows you move in inland waters and hop over
  511. small obstacles. At Level 14, he'll also learn the spell Hyuuru, which
  512. *may* come in handy.
  513. - Jean's default special skill, Tsukitsuki, is an attack that targets
  514. all enemies (low damage).
  515. - STAY AWAY FROM SIMAFORT! You'll lose Jean very quickly upon entering
  516. the place, and we don't want that.
  517.  
  518. Items: Circlet, Kamikazedama \\\ Taki no Heya ||
  519. Special: Fire Dragon, Ice Dragon, Thunder Dragon
  520. - Swim down the waterfall to get here.
  521. - The level 2 Dragon spells are all non-elemental and will deal 512 pod
  522. to all enemies so long as Ryu has max AP (or close). (*Technically*,
  523. the Dragon spells have the indicated elements, but at the same time,
  524. the damage is simply unaffected by elemental resistance.)
  525.  
  526. Special: Sengiri / HP +16 (party) \\\ Yamaneko Tei ||
  527. Boss: Yamaneko
  528. - We're now going to pick up a hidden technique called Sengiri from
  529. one of the friendly chefs at the Yamaneko Restaurant. The process is
  530. a little tricky, though, as you'll have to fight a difficult boss with
  531. a number of penalties (such as no items), and even if you survive, you
  532. might end up getting the HP boost instead. The HP boost is certainly
  533. worth considering as well, though (unless you're planning on using a
  534. party with Bow, Spar and Bleu). Using something like the Fire Ring as
  535. an item gives you essentially the same effect as Sengiri, and anyone can
  536. use it. The only cost is that it'll take up one slot in your inventory.
  537.  
  538. - First off, you'll have to leave your items, no exceptions. Then, you'll
  539. be asked to take off your equipment (numbers 2 - 4) and replace them
  540. with items that have virtually no power whatsoever. This really isn't
  541. going to help you take out the boss, so this is where we're going to
  542. refuse to follow the instructions and fight our way through the Guardman
  543. (I'm sure you can handle him). HOWEVER, you can only afford to do this
  544. twice, otherwise you'll get the HP boost. I suggest you skip numbers
  545. 3 and 4 (you don't even have to read the sign, you can just ignore it),
  546. so you'll only lose your accessories and headwear. If you want the HP
  547. boost instead, ignore the signs from 2-5.
  548. - The salt and pepper thing doesn't do anything.
  549. - Number 6 defines how much HP you'll lose before the boss. Go with Rare,
  550. and you'll only lose 25%. If you ignore the sign, you'll start the boss
  551. with only 1 HP.
  552.  
  553. 1. Items (forced, includes accessories)
  554. 2. Hats
  555. 3. Jackets [armor] (napkins)
  556. 4. Weapons & shields (plate + fork)
  557. 5. Salt & pepper
  558. 6. Rare / Medium / Well-done
  559.  
  560. [Boss]
  561. - 610 HP, 700 Exp, 400 Z
  562. - With the new Dragon spells, you should be fine. Without them, your
  563. odds aren't great. Try hitting him with Sutooru and Deiru in that case.
  564.  
  565. - After the battle, go talk to the chef in the kitchen and choose the
  566. following dialog options:
  567. 7. Omaetachi, steak ni shiyou to shita koto okoteruka? ---> No
  568. 8. Ohitoyoshi da na? ---> Yes
  569.  
  570. - And that's it. I gave the skill to Katt.
  571. - The HP boost increases the max HP of all active party members by 16.
  572. It's not much, but it's something.
  573. - Talk to the bouncer on your way out to get your items back.
  574. - Note that Jean can jump over the terrain around Sharon no Mori, so
  575. you don't have to walk through it.
  576.  
  577. Item: Kaijodama (Unique) \\\ Kyoudoutai ||
  578. Items (nc): Okoge (H1), Chie no Tama (H2), Fire Spice (H3), Hayameshi
  579. - The Hayameshi is on the bookshelf in Granny's house.
  580. - Unite Sanamo with Sten for a 50% increase in base ATP.
  581. - Keep in mind, you'll lose the bonding if the character's HP drops
  582. below 25% or if the character is Zombiefied. There are a few events
  583. that will cancel them as well (such as when you first visit SimaFort).
  584. - Nowhere in the camp menu does it specifically tell you what (if any)
  585. Soul Union a character has.
  586. - The Kaijodama can be used infinitely to unbond from a Shaman. I don't
  587. pick it up myself, since I don't really need it.
  588. - Note that you are fully healed by simply visiting the Union (Gattai) menu.
  589. - Time to go get some tenants. Here's what I strongly recommend:
  590. House 1: Heckler (Moto no Machi)
  591. House 2: Remington (Capitan)
  592. House 3: Beretta (Windia)
  593. House 4: Kalashnikov (Guntz) / Barose (Inheart)
  594. House 5: Youzou (Windia Castle)
  595. House 6: Daiye (Windia)
  596.  
  597. - Do try to avoid signing up people you don't want. There's no way to
  598. get rid of them.
  599.  
  600. Tenant: Heckler (H1) \\\ Moto no Machi ||
  601. - The house next to the Ranger's Guild
  602. Tenant: Beretta (H3) \\\ Windia ||
  603. - Armory
  604. Tenant: Remington (H2) \\\ Capitan ||
  605. - Inn
  606.  
  607. Item (nc): (nothing - H4 & H5), 1 Z (H6) \\\ TownShip ||
  608. Heckler: Remington:
  609. Flame Sword 3200 Z Rasetsu Haouken 1980 Z
  610. Heat Staff 3000 Z Muteki no Rapier 1980 Z
  611. Fire Ring 2600 Z Yaburezu no Yoroi 2980 Z
  612. Fire Bow 3600 Z Mashou no Tate 980 Z
  613. Burn Knuckle 2500 Z
  614. Magma no Yoroi 4700 Z Beretta:
  615. Flame Shield 3700 Z Dou no Baton 940 Z
  616.  
  617. - Dou no Baton, Magma no Yoroi, Flame Shield, Mashou no Tate = 10 320 Z
  618. + Flame Sword, Heat Staff, Rasetsu Haouken = 8180 Z
  619.  
  620. - This stuff is pretty expensive, so I suggest you compromise and only
  621. buy a Magma no Yoroi and Flame Shield for Ryuu, as he takes most of the
  622. hits. If Sten is your third character, he should be fine with a Tetsu
  623. no Yoroi (from Swimmer) and a Mashou no Tate. You'll want to hang on to
  624. the Mashou no Tate, as it casts Marekuta when used during battle.
  625. - If you can only afford one of the elemental weapons, go with the Heat
  626. Staff.
  627. - No need to buy anything for Jean. He can use hand-me-downs and the
  628. stuff you obtain in Swimmer Castle.
  629. - Place the elemental weapons (or the non-elemental ones) at the top
  630. of your inventory to make mid-battle switching as quick as possible.
  631. - If you didn't get Sengiri, you should pick up a Fire Ring for defense-
  632. ignoring damage (use it as an item during battle).
  633. - Go talk to your carpenter, and he'll offer to expand the village
  634. for 1000 Z (assuming you already have residents in the first three
  635. houses). Once you agree, exit and re-enter TownShip 7 times, and it
  636. will reach phase 3.
  637. - Oh, and, yeah, cooking is also available now. Not much you can do
  638. yet, though.
  639.  
  640. Tenant: Daiye (H6) \\\ Windia ||
  641. - Inn
  642.  
  643. - If you still haven't gotten Sengiri (or HP boost), get it *now*.
  644.  
  645. Party Level: ~18
  646.  
  647. \\\ Swimmer Jou ||
  648. Items (nc): Sao Deluxe (Unique), Tsuke Era (Special)
  649. Shop:
  650. Saber 1200 Z Tetsu no Yoroi 1350 Z
  651. Dou no Baton 940 Z Tetsu no Muneate 1400 Z
  652. Iron Knuckle 1000 Z Buckler 990 Z
  653. Crossbow 780 Z Kishi no Kabuto 790 Z
  654. Bannouyaku 400 Z
  655.  
  656. [PC: - Jean]
  657. - As I mentioned earlier, Jean will get busted as soon as you enter
  658. the castle. Once you catch up with him in his cell, it's time to head
  659. back to the Wild Cat.
  660. - Tetsu no Muneate (Katt), Tetsu no Yoroi (Sten),= 2750 Z
  661. - The Sao Deluxe is strong enough to reel in those underwater treasure
  662. chests, but you need to be very good with the rhythm. However, there's
  663. nothing really interesting available at the moment, so I suggest you
  664. save your efforts for later.
  665.  
  666. Item (nc): Ouke no Yubiwa (Special) \\\ Yamaneko Tei ||
  667.  
  668. \\\ Swimmer Jou ||
  669. Items: 1000 Z, Genkidama, Guts Belt, Stamina no Moto,
  670. Tetsu no Tate, Royal Crown (Unique), Breath Armor
  671. Items (nc): 1 Z, 2× Okujou no Kagi (Special, Temp), 1000 Z, 1000 Z,
  672. 1000 Z, Gokiburi no Niku; Mimizu no Niku; Kinbae (Special, Temp),
  673. Sol Blade (Unique)
  674. Lost & Found: Coin (Mimic \ 3)
  675. PC: Jean
  676. Bosses: Oogokiburi, Oomimizu, Kinbae, Quadra
  677.  
  678. - Return the ring to Jean for some more scenes.
  679. - Head to the Prince's room and hit the switch on the wall.
  680. - After you find Tata, go talk to his girlfriend, Fiolina, in the courtyard.
  681. - Return to Tata to receive the keys needed to open the two doors there.
  682. - Examine the little wall in front of the buckets (top floor) to find the
  683. hidden stash of cash Tata was talking about. There are three spots in total,
  684. all next to each other (you'll get the usual "Nani ka nai ka na...?" message
  685. when you hit the right spot).
  686. - After riding the buckets, you'll soon bump into Kinbae, who attacks
  687. you right away. You can't win this fight, however, and the battle ends
  688. automatically after 4 rounds (go with Defend).
  689. - Mimics use Zombie Attack.
  690. - There's a guy blocking your path to the Stamina no Moto until you beat
  691. Oomimizu.
  692.  
  693. [Boss: Oomimizu]
  694. - 1103 HP, 440 Exp, 200 Z
  695. - This guy's fairly tough. He's got a 50% counter rate and uses fixed
  696. critical hits and Sweet Breath.
  697.  
  698. [Boss: Oogokiburi]
  699. - 990 HP, 500 Exp, 0 Z, W:F, R:I
  700.  
  701. [Boss: Kinbae]
  702. - 580 HP, 520 Exp, 400 Z, W:W
  703.  
  704. - Once the kitchen battle is finished, head to the kitchen bathroom.
  705.  
  706. [Boss: Quadra]
  707. - 1650 HP, 1600 Exp, 800 Z, W:I, R:F
  708. - Definitely bring some Kitsukeyakus for this one. He can deal around
  709. 100 pod at worst, which could easily take out a character in a single
  710. hit.
  711.  
  712. - Head down to the kitchen storage to pick up Yua / Patty (and don't
  713. forget to loot the treasure room).
  714. - The Sol Blade is one of five weapons that can inflict instant death
  715. (Sokushi). The odds are only about 5-10%, so it's nothing reliable, but
  716. it does work on all non-event enemies (Waasu resistance is not a factor
  717. at all). It doesn't work, though, if the enemy is at a higher level than
  718. the character. (The enemy's level is what Siron's guide refers to as
  719. the enemy's Luck.)
  720. - Hang on to the Short Rapier for a while. You'll want Ryuu using the
  721. Solblade on the boss after the next boss.
  722. - Note that you can trigger Jean's field ability at the entrance of the
  723. castle, so you don't have to use the boat every time.
  724. - If you want to return to the dungeon (to get Coins), you need to ride
  725. the buckets down, take the elevator up, so it's not blocking your path,
  726. then go and ride the buckets down again. Eventually, you'll need to get
  727. a couple of extra Coins, but there are other places where you can encounter
  728. Mimics later as well.
  729. - Overworld theme 2
  730.  
  731. Item: Kujira Manjuu \\\ Moto no Machi ||
  732. Items (nc): Dokukeshi, Kikimimizukin (Special)
  733. Boss: Trout
  734. - Go see Trout and visit the basement. After that, Bow can finally get
  735. back on the field again.
  736. - Go talk to Kilgore with Bow in the lead. Choose to help Bow, otherwise
  737. he'll go in solo.
  738.  
  739. [Boss]
  740. - 550 HP, 1600 Exp, 1000 Z
  741.  
  742. \\\ Kujira Misaki ||
  743. Items: Tetsu no Kou, 100 Z, Power Food, Ougon no Yoroi (Unique)
  744. Items (nc): Yakusou, Kujira Bell (Special)
  745. Boss: Munmar
  746. - This place is south from SimaFort (in case you haven't been there yet).
  747. - You will no longer have access to the dungeon once you complete the
  748. events here.
  749. - You'll need Katt's field ability here.
  750. - Hustle Jijiis can cast Babaru (~60 pod to all).
  751. - If you see any Gummy Champions (found in areas where you don't encounter
  752. Earth Shakers, ie. the middle areas), hit them with Sengiri (or magic).
  753. They have a good chance of running away, though.
  754.  
  755. [Boss]
  756. - 800 HP, 1150 Exp, 2000 Z, Spirit
  757.  
  758. - Now, go back and hit that thing near the beginning.
  759. - As you might guess, with Grandpa's help, you can reach a number of
  760. new places. You'll have trouble surviving in some areas, however, so
  761. you'll want to deposit all your money first. (Your next main objective
  762. is getting Spar from the carnival near Tunlan.)
  763. - At this point, I suggest you stop hunting if you already have a good
  764. amount of Roosu (50 or so). With enemies now giving comparable amounts
  765. of money and the increasing frequency of Beaks, it's really not that
  766. appealing anymore, even if you like doing it for the fun of it.
  767.  
  768. Item: Biru Medal (Artifact) \\\ Bleu's Place ||
  769. Item (nc): Bia
  770. - Travel far southeast to the desert. This place is a little hard to
  771. detect, but it's really close to one of the beaches. Once you do find
  772. it, talk to one of the spirits, then head to Moto no Machi (better use
  773. Hyuuru, as you really don't want to get into any encounters in this area).
  774. - Bia increases a character's Choushi to Baribari da ze, but you can
  775. easily reach it organically (you probably already have).
  776.  
  777. PC: Bleu (Deis) Lv35 \\\ Moto no Machi ||
  778. Default (Bleu): Sorceror Ring, Kenja no Robe, Silk no Tebukuro, Circlet
  779. - You can find Bleu disguised as one of the students on the second
  780. floor of the Magic School.
  781. - Bleu's special skill, Dappi, allows her to regenerate her AP.
  782. - Bleu can't bond with any Shamans.

  790. Kongou no Tate 8000 Z
  791.  
  792. - There's a bunch of gear you need pick up. Better find a nice place to
  793. grind.
  794. - I strongly recommend you sign up Kalashnikov to House #4. It's either
  795. him, or Barose. Barose can teach you some high level spells, but as I
  796. tend to rely on normal physical attacks, this wasn't a hard choice for me.
  797. - Go down the hidden staircase behind the bookshelves in Kalashnikov's
  798. house to find Eichichi. You can invite her to your town as well (if
  799. you've seen the machine in the well).
  800. - Kongou no Ken, Kongou no Yoroi, Kongou no Tate, Kongou no Kou = 35 300 Z

  806. Gladius 5100 Z Kirisaki no Kote 4100 Z
  807. King of Dagger 6200 Z
  808.  
  809. - The Hakugin no Tate is 2 points lower than the Kongou no Kou and 7
  810. points lower than the Kongou no Tate, but I'd say it's a good choice
  811. for characters who are less likely to be targeted.
  812. - Shirakaba no Tsue (Ice), 2 Hakugin no Tate (Sten, Jean) = 14 100 Z

  816. Raidenmaru 8400 Z Shinpi no Kabuto 3100 Z
  817. Kubikari no Muchi 2000 Z
  818.  
  819. - This one's west of the Thieves' Tomb. Just go down the river near
  820. Highland Castle until it reaches the ocean. With Ice weapons and a Lv30+
  821. party, you should be able to survive long enough for the spot to appear.
  822. You could also just use a dragon spell or run away and hope it appears
  823. quickly.
  824. - (Kongoubou), Raidenmaru, 4 Shinpi no Kabuto = 20 800 Z (29 000 Z)
  825. - You should only buy the Kongoubou if you're not keeping track of
  826. enemy elemental resistance. Otherwise, you can just use the Shirakaba
  827. no Tsue and switch when needed.

  833. Romero no Udewa 2000 Z
  834.  
  835. - West of Whale Cape, on the other side of the continent (beyond the
  836. Sea of Trees) is a cape with a lone house at the end of it (Akky's
  837. house). This fishing spot appears a bit east from the house.
  838. - Really the only thing of interest here is the Seinaru Scarf, which is
  839. supposed to lower the encounter rate a little (when equipped on the
  840. lead character), but I'm not sure if I can really notice much of a
  841. difference.

  853. enemy twice.

  864. driving you insane.
  865.  
  866. \\\ Maori Island ||
  867. Lost & Found: Omamori / Hikari no Udewa (Manekidake \ 2)
  868. - Northwest of Moto no Machi.
  869. - Fire-elemental weapons make this a good place to grind until you can
  870. survive elsewhere. You might even get lucky and score a Hikari no Udewa
  871. (prevents all status ailments). If you don't get any, that's fine. It's
  872. easier once you have Surikae.
  873.  
  874. \\\ Maori Yama ||
  875. Items: Tsuki no Shizuku, Ibara no Muchi, Bannouyaku, Flame Sword,
  876. Shikkoku no Yubiwa (Unique), Flame Shield, Magma no Yoroi
  877. Lost & Found: Ishiyoroi / Daichi no Yoroi (Ganga)
  878. - The outside areas of the mountain have the same encounters as on the
  879. overworld, but the Gummy Champion encounter seems more common. That,
  880. combined with the healing spring in the first cave, makes this a little
  881. better for grinding (unless you still have some hunting to do).
  882. - There's nothing particularly important here, so you could get the
  883. items later, when you're actually supposed to do the dungeon.
  884. - You'll need to jump off a cliff at one point in order to reach the
  885. Shikkoku no Yubiwa.
  886.  
  887. \\\ South Desert ||
  888. Lost & Found: Ibara no Muchi / Shikomi Dosu (Titan \ 1),
  889. Daichi no Yoroi / Ai no Udewa (Amudo Cancer \ 1)
  890. Hissatsu no Honoo / Brave Armor (Vulcan Rock \ 2)
  891. - Once you get closer to Level 40, you should be able to survive in
  892. this neighborhood.
  893. - There are some nice drops here, but nothing you can't manage without.
  894. I always get at least one Ai no Udewa at some point. Also, the Daichi
  895. no Yoroi is a good one for Sten. The Shikomidosu is a nice weapon for
  896. Katt, but it's easier to get in the Fog Valley.
  897. - I get one drop from the Cancers before HighFort. If it's an Ai no
  898. Udewa, then I'm done here. If it's a Daichi no Yoroi, I'll come back
  899. after HighFort. Then, if I don't get the bracelet within a few drops,
  900. I'll just come back with Surikae.
  901.  
  902. \\\ Nusubito no Haka ||
  903. Lost & Found: Elmore no Ken / Demonic Knife (Undead Thief \ 1),
  904. Seirei no Tate (Anubis Mummy \ 1)
  905. - You'll find it easier to survive here than out in the desert, as
  906. the enemies are mostly undead, so you can easily do double damage
  907. with every character (the enemies also have less HP and DFP). You can
  908. survive even a little below Lv30, but I'd recommend closer to Lv35.
  909. You should also get Spar first, so Ryuu can have the Life Armor. It
  910. helps a lot. You'll still likely get some game overs, but it's not a
  911. big deal.
  912. - You're likely looking at enemies doing 50 pod per hit, double with
  913. criticals (less for Ryuu). You'll mostly be fighting Undead Thieves
  914. and Anubis Mummies. The former have a high critical hit rate, and the
  915. latter can cast Reigiru (100 pod).
  916. - Although you can't actually explore the dungeon yet, there's a very
  917. good reason we're here, and that is the Demonic Knife, Sten's ultimate
  918. weapon. So, if you're using Sten, you might as well get it now. You
  919. won't even need Sweh, as "Sheefs" are quite common.
  920. - The Elmore no Ken (usable by Ryu and Jean) is the strongest Holy-
  921. elemental weapon you can find at this point in the game.
  922. - And let's not forget the Seirei no Tate, the fourth strongest shield in
  923. the game, which can be used by everyone except Rand. It's the strongest
  924. shield for Nina, Bleu and Spar. You can buy these later in the game,
  925. but I suggest you get at least one of them now (for Katt).
  926.  
  927. \\\ Giant's Island ||
  928. Lost & Found: Topurifu Ekisu / Rifuraru Ekisu (Atomic Gummy, Gangan Head),
  929. Omamori / Hikari no Udewa (Choorukin \ 3),
  930. Holy Plate / Bushin no Kote (Gummy Ou \ 3)
  931. - Better deposit all your money into the bank before coming here. If
  932. you have too much trouble with the enemies, just come back a little
  933. later. Lv40 should be good.
  934. - Rounding up the world tour is the infamous Giant's Island (or whatever
  935. you want to call it), found by sailing south from Guntz. Let's have a
  936. look at the four enemies you can find here, and how to deal with them:
  937. 1. Choorukin | 25 HP
  938. - Use Sengiri. If you don't have that, use a Fire Ring (you know,
  939. as an item). Bring some antidotes to counter Poison Breath.
  940. - Your second source for Hikari no Udewas.
  941. 2. Ganganhead | 1000 HP
  942. - Likes to use Topurifu but only has enough AP to cast it twice.
  943. 3. Atomic Gummy | 900 HP
  944. - These guys have absolutely no resistance to Waasu (the other ones
  945. are immune)(might still fail at lower levels), so cast that if you
  946. can. When needed, you can also use the Mashou no Tate to drain their
  947. AP. They're really not that hard to beat up either, and I always go
  948. with melee whenever Jean's refilling his AP.
  949. 4. Gummy Ou | 1000 HP
  950. - The encounter has three of them by default, The encounter chance is
  951. probably 1/32.
  952. - They only have two moves: their normal attack and Waasu, which has
  953. a 100% hit rate (unless you're wearing a certain elusive accessory).
  954. The odds of Waasu being cast is low at first, but increase as their
  955. HP goes down. Get them below 500 HP with other attacks before you hit
  956. them with a Dragon spell.
  957. - The Holy Plate is pretty much the best body armor in the game. Aside
  958. from boasting very high DFP, it also gives you a 25% chance of nullifying
  959. magical damage (the Gin no Tiara and Yomi no Udewa have the same
  960. ability). It can be equipped by Ryu, Jean, Sten and Bow.
  961. - Using Surikae, you can typically get a Gummy Ou encounter in about
  962. 5 minutes.
  963.  
  964. - None of the enemies here have elemental affinities, so that's one
  965. thing you don't have to worry about.
  966. - Sell, drop, or use the Topurifu Ekisus, but whatever you do, don't
  967. start hoarding up on them, as Roosu is so much more space-efficient.
  968. - Hoarding up on some Rifuraru Ekisus, on the other hand, is a pretty
  969. good idea, especially if you don't have Bow or Rand in your standard
  970. party. In any case, don't let them fill up your inventory. If your
  971. inventory is full, enemies won't drop anything.
  972. - This is the place where you'll want to build up to Lv99 (assuming
  973. you're a bad enough dude to do so). You can get one level in about 20
  974. minutes. You should of course do it after getting all the rare drops
  975. you want. The Holy Plate is indeed one of them, but I wouldn't bother
  976. trying to get those without Surikae.
  977.  
  978. Fish: Ai no Udewa \\\ Fishing Spot ||
  979. - This one's on Giant's Island.
  980. - Ai no Udewa gives you regen, which can keep you healed up quite well.
  981. Until you get more of them, you can just pass along this one as needed.
  982.  
  983.  
  984. - As soon as you have the money, you should start cooking stat-boost
  985. items. If you're already at Lv50, you can go ahead and max out anything
  986. you want. If not, you should take the upcoming stat gains at least up
  987. until Lv50 into consideration (your stat gains are very minimal after
  988. Lv50). Hopefully, you've already decided on your final party.
  989. - No need to max everything out. Here's what I recommend:
  990. × Str: Max (255).
  991. × Stm: At least 200.
  992. × Agi: 250. Agility maxes out at 511, but few enemies have more than 200.
  993. × Wisdom: 207.
  994. × Luck: Pass.
  995. × Guts: Pass.
  996.  
  997. - Maxing your Agility not only has few benefits, but it also makes it
  998. a little harder to run away from enemies (except the super fast ones).
  999. This is likely due to a programming error.
  1000. - In any case, start by depositing all your items, then fill your
  1001. inventory with the stuff you can buy at Guntz depending on which stat
  1002. boost items you want to create. See the recipes below.
  1003. × Stamina's a little tricky, as the recipe involves Bera, so if you
  1004. didn't sign up Daiye, you're out of luck (and I *did* tell you to pick
  1005. him up). Plus, you have to manage the quantities so as to ensure a
  1006. smooth cooking process. I myself went with 39 F.Spice + 78 Beras
  1007. (8 × 9 + 6).
  1008. - By no means do you need to get all of this done right now. If you can
  1009. at least take care of your Strength (you'll need about 100k or so),
  1010. that's good enough for now.
  1011.  
  1012. Strength | Power Food | 3× Kakigoori (300 Z)
  1013. Stamina | Stamina no Moto| Fire Spice + 2× Bera (700 Z)
  1014. Agility | Hayameshi | 2× Kaminariokoshi (200 Z)
  1015. Luck | Lucky Bonbon | mix (eg. Fire Spice + Kakigoori) (200 Z)
  1016. Wisdom | Misonikomi | 2× Fire Spice (200 Z)
  1017. Guts | Konjoudama | 2× Kakigoori (200 Z)
  1018.  
  1019. \\\ Carnival ||
  1020. - You'll find the carnival near Ongaku no Kuni.
  1021. - Speak to the chief and agree to find an Uparupa for him.
  1022. - In case you're wondering, yes, it's possible to give him the money
  1023. instead. However, the result would be the same, so you'd just be throwing
  1024. away 900 000 Z. I don't need to tell you what a bad idea that is.
  1025.  
  1026. Items (nc): 5x Aru no Mi (Artifact) \\\ Aru no Mori ||
  1027. Boss(es): Algernon, Daeruni & Suiki
  1028. - This place is near the hunting lodge, west of Windia, remember?
  1029.  
  1030. [Boss]
  1031. - 1549 HP, 1980 Exp, 1200 Z
  1032. - Easily the hardest boss in the game. Daeruni will constantly cast
  1033. Apurifu (on random targets), while Suiki spams you with Baru (~35 pod).
  1034. These two only have 100 HP, but they're revived so quickly, attacking
  1035. them is a waste of time. Al itself mostly just uses its normal attack
  1036. (which is nothing to worry about), but occasionally uses Itetsuku Iki
  1037. (~40 pod). Bring plenty of Genkidamas.
  1038. - It's possible to skip this boss entirely if you manage to capture
  1039. an Uparupa with the one fruit you can buy at the cave.
  1040.  
  1041. \\\ Upa no Doukutsu ||
  1042. Items: Quarterstaff (Artifact), Coin, Uminari no Robe (Unique),
  1043. Buster Sword, Mamori no Tate
  1044. Items (nc): Aru no Mi (Artifact) - 1000 Z, Uparupa (Special)
  1045. Lost & Found: Shinpi no Kabuto (Dekkuaaruba)
  1046. Bosses: Uparupa ×n
  1047. - This place is next to the bridge south of Coursair.
  1048. - Only two of the eight Uparupas are "real" (such as the last one on
  1049. the top level). If you fight the wrong one, it'll simply disappear.
  1050. - If you run out of Owl Fruits, you'll have to run back to the Owl
  1051. Woods to get more.
  1052.  
  1053. [Boss]
  1054. - 520 HP, 1200 Exp, 800 Z, W:T, R:F
  1055. - Counterattack only. Sengiri and Tsukitsuki can't be countered.
  1056.  
  1057. - Once you catch a real one, choose to let it go, and you'll get a
  1058. Buster Sword and a Mamori no Tate. The Mamori no Tate will appear
  1059. once you refresh the area and will replace the Buster Sword even if
  1060. you don't pick it up.
  1061.  
  1062. PC: Spar [Aspara] Lv12 \\\ Carnivàle ||
  1063. Default (Spar): Muchi (Unique), Nuno no Fuku, Wristband, Bandana
  1064. Boss: Danchou
  1065.  
  1066. [Boss]
  1067. - 1520 HP, 2700 Exp, 1300 Z, W:F, R:I
  1068. |
  1069. [PC: Spar]
  1070.  
  1071. - Spar's field ability allows you to walk through forests.
  1072. - The effect of Spar's special skill, Shizen, depends on the terrain.
  1073. - Strangely enough, although Spar starts off with a Wristband, he can't
  1074. actually equip one.
  1075.  
  1076. \\\ Gate Region ||
  1077. Lost & Found: Power Food / Mammo no Kegawa (Mammo \ 1),
  1078. Demonic Knife / Elmore no Ken (Chimera \ 2)
  1079. - You won't be able to handle the enemies well until you're closer to
  1080. Lv50, but you should probably try and get the fishing spot to appear
  1081. once you're about Lv30. You can take out Vulcan Rocks with a dragon
  1082. spell and you can probably just beat up Marble Golems. The Mammos
  1083. have 736 HP, so a dragon spell alone won't cut it. If there's only
  1084. one, you should be able to finish it off. You can also use Waasu. If
  1085. there's two of them, you might want to try and run away. You certainly
  1086. want to run away from the Chimera. So, yeah, you need to get fairly
  1087. lucky, but the armor is well worth it.
  1088. - Also, if you haven't fished a treasure chest before, go practice with
  1089. the one near TownShip. Any input when Ryu is pulling the chest up will
  1090. be ignored, so you need to get a hang of the rhythm. If you fail too
  1091. many times, the chest will end up too close to you, and you can't really
  1092. hook it anymore.
  1093. - Yet another high profile rare drop: the Mammo no Kegawa, Rand's best
  1094. armor. If you're using Rand, you definitely want to get it. It can wait
  1095. until you get Surikae, though.
  1096.  
  1097. Fish: Inochi no Yoroi (Unique) \\\ Fishing Spot ||
  1098. - This is the one that appears a little west from Gate. There are no
  1099. fish here, just a treasure chest that contains the Life Armor, the
  1100. strongest armor in the game (Ryu, Jean, Sten). In addition to high
  1101. defense, it also grants the wearer regeneration (1 HP per step). It's
  1102. a little heavy, though.
  1103.  
  1104. - Put Spar in the lead and pay a visit to the Elder Tree in the Sea
  1105. of Trees on the western continent.
  1106. - Battle theme 2
  1107. - Next, head to Ongaku and talk to the guy near the beginning.
  1108.  
  1109. Party Level: 35-50
  1110.  
  1111. \\\ Highland Jou ||
  1112. Items: Topurifu Ekisu, Butterfly Knife, Hayate no Fuku, Biru Medal,
  1113. Yume no Earring, 1000 Z, Assassin Dagger (Unique), Hawk Claw, 1000 Z,
  1114. Tsuki no Mask (Unique), Suzu no Kubiwa (Unique), Biru Medal
  1115. Item (nc): Meijin no Fue (Special)
  1116. Lost & Found: Yomi no Udewa (Artifact) (Soulflicker \ 2),
  1117. Dokuro no Udewa (Pharaoh Mage, Larva Crawler \ 2)
  1118. Bosses: Turuboo, Mahou no Tobira, Shupukee
  1119. - In case you haven't been here before, you can find the castle on the
  1120. outskirts of the desert southeast from TownShip.
  1121. - You will no longer have access to this area once you complete the
  1122. events here.
  1123. - Sten is mandatory here plus he has to go solo for a while, so if
  1124. you haven't been using him at all, you might want to warm him up first.
  1125. - Also keep in mind, you won't be able to change any of your party
  1126. members, and you'll be stuck in the castle until you finish all the events.
  1127. - Make your way to the throne room, and you'll soon find yourself in
  1128. control of Sten, while the rest of your party is unavailable.
  1129. - The first three items are downstairs from where Sten begins. You can't
  1130. get those later (not that they're anything important).
  1131. - Although you can't leave the castle, you'll have access to basic
  1132. town services for a while. Make sure you're thoroughly prepared before
  1133. you challenge Turuboo (Holy weapons, enough free space for treasure).
  1134.  
  1135. [Boss: Turuboo]
  1136. - 110 HP, 1750 Exp, 1000 Z
  1137. - Simply defend during the first phase (or heal if needed), as you
  1138. can't win. It ends after 3 rounds.
  1139. - In the second phase (when the bridge is falling), you have 4 rounds
  1140. to kill him.
  1141.  
  1142. - You'll find a healing spring (first of two) and a save point at the
  1143. bottom of the eastern tower, but you can't get back to the item shop
  1144. or storage since the bridge is out.
  1145. - The next six items are found in Sten's solo section. After passing
  1146. behind the throne room, there are three paths. The left and right ones
  1147. have treasure. Next, there are two paths. The left one has treasure.
  1148. - After being reunited with your three other characters, you can finally
  1149. start encountering Soulflickers (common in the areas after the Mahou
  1150. no Tobira). These guys drop the elusive Yomi no Udewa, which gives you
  1151. magic evade. There's one of these in the final dungeon, but aside from
  1152. that, this is your only chance to actually get more of them. I get one
  1153. myself (for Katt). Rand is the only character who can only get magic
  1154. evade off a Yomi no Udewa. If you want him to get magic evade before
  1155. the final dungeon, your only choice is to score one here. Then again,
  1156. with his HP, he doesn't really need it as much as, say, Katt or Nina.
  1157. - The Dokuro no Udewa makes the wearer slightly more susceptible to Waasu.
  1158. - Eventually, you'll find a room with three teleporters
  1159. × The left one will take you back to the second healing spring (near
  1160. the MoonMask).
  1161. × The right one is the emergency exit. Although you still can't leave
  1162. the castle, you can use it to return to the save point or revisit Sten's
  1163. solo section in case you missed any items. When you want back, go
  1164. examine the switch in the throne room.
  1165. × Both the left and right teleporters are one-way only.
  1166. × The middle one will take you to the Mahou no Tobira.
  1167.  
  1168. [Boss: Mahou no Tobira]
  1169. - 1530 HP, 2400 Exp, 1250 Z
  1170. - Honoo no Iki: 50 pod to all.
  1171. - Healed by spells.
  1172.  
  1173. - Don't miss the last two chests (one of which has the Suzu no Kubiwa).
  1174. - One more time: Hang around the areas after the Mahou no Tobira, so
  1175. you can score a Yomi no Udewa.

  1180. Shop: \\\ Kyoudoutai ||

  1183. Quarterstaff (Artif.) 2100 Z
  1184. Kokuyou no Kabuto 1800 Z
  1185.  
  1186. - Beretta has now updated her wares for the first time. Nothing really
  1187. interesting yet, though.
  1188.  
  1189. \\\ Ongaku no Kuni ||
  1190. - Go talk to the witch-like character to learn about the queen, then
  1191. head for Maori Island.
  1192.  
  1193. \\\ Maori Yama ||
  1194. - Talk to Gedd with either Katt or Nina. After he joins, return to Tunlan.
  1195.  
  1196. Item (nc): Tegami (Special, Temp) \\\ Ongaku no Kuni ||
  1197. - Go check on the queen.
  1198.  
  1199. Item: Jiji no Kagami (Unique, Temp) \\\ Maori Yama ||
  1200. Item (nc): Kinoko (Special, Temp)
  1201. - Talk to Gedd's assistant and climb up to get some mushrooms.
  1202. - Once you find the right one, the assistant will let you take the mirror.
  1203.  
  1204. Item (nc): Therapy no Makura (Special) \\\ Ongaku no Kuni ||
  1205. - Gedd will now shrink you and send you inside the queen's body.
  1206. Your objective is to fight demons in each area until the encounter
  1207. rate drops to zero.
  1208. - Once you're done, go pick up the Therapy no Makura at the vault.
  1209.  
  1210. - Now, you're ready to enter Gandaroof's mind. Keep in mind, Spar
  1211. will be a mandatory party member during this event. Also, bring
  1212. some money with you.
  1213. - Once inside, you'll find three slightly different versions of the
  1214. same town.
  1215. - You will not have access to any of these areas once you complete
  1216. the events here.
  1217.  
  1218. Shop: \\\ Kokoro no Naka no Machi (Elderly) ||
  1219. Double Whip (Artifact) 8000 Z
  1220. Chakram (Artifact) 5800 Z
  1221. Wristband (Artifact) 10 Z
  1222. Silver Armor 5800 Z
  1223.  
  1224. - This is your first of only two limited opportunities to buy a Chakram.
  1225. - This is your only opportunity to buy a Double Whip (Spar's third best
  1226. weapon). You'll also find one in a dungeon later in the game.
  1227.  
  1228. \\\ Kokoro no Naka (Adult) ||
  1229. - Nothing here, really.
  1230.  
  1231. \\\ Kokoro no Naka (Child) ||
  1232. - This is where Barose is hanging out. You can sign him up to house #4
  1233. if you didn't get Kalashnikov.
  1234. - If you need to get out, talk to the kid in the item shop.
  1235. - Talk to the kid in the southeast corner, and the elderly Inheart
  1236. will be replaced by the Kioku no Tou.
  1237.  
  1238. \\\ Kioku no Tou ||
  1239. Items: Autobow (Unique), Daichi no Yoroi, Misonikomi, 1000 Z,
  1240. Yuuki no Belt, Kongou no Kou
  1241. Boss: Arhamel
  1242. - Your vision will be slightly obstructed (you can see far, but you
  1243. can't see close).
  1244. - Talk to the other old man on the 1st floor, and pay him 100 Z twice
  1245. to get the first two chests.
  1246. - The third chest is on the 3rd floor (the guy on the 2nd floor will
  1247. warp you to the 4th floor).
  1248. - The last three chests are on the 5th floor.
  1249.  
  1250. [Boss]
  1251. - 1600 HP, 3200 Exp, 1000 Z
  1252.  
  1253. - Return to the kiddy Inheart, and have the boy in the item shop throw
  1254. you out.
  1255. - Next, head south to Kiri no Tani. Try to pass through or talk to the
  1256. guy there (if you've already done that at some point earlier, you don't
  1257. have to do it again), then head to Ten no Tou just north of Kujira Misaki.
  1258.  
  1259. \\\ Ten no Tou ||
  1260. Items: Ashura no Ken (Unique), Seishin no Koromo, 1000 Z, Konjoudama,
  1261. Ice Shield (Unique), Hyouga no Yoroi, Northern Dagger (Unique)
  1262. Shaman: Spoona (Wind Shaman)
  1263. Shop:
  1264. Ice Barrel 9800 Z
  1265. Raidenmaru 8400 Z
  1266. Daichi no Yoroi 6100 Z
  1267. Circlet 3600 Z
  1268. Migawari no Tate 5300 Z
  1269.  
  1270. - You have 3 minutes before you run out of oxygen. When that happens,
  1271. it's game over. During battle, however, it takes 5 seconds for one
  1272. "second" to pass. The timer halts when in the menu. Some areas are
  1273. not submerged.
  1274. - I'm pretty sure there are no chests hidden in the seaweed.
  1275. - Once you have Spoona, you not only can pass through Kiri no Tani,
  1276. but also have access to Sten's Djinni form. This form has the special
  1277. ability Surikae, which ends the current battle and rolls another one.
  1278. × To recap, Surikae is useful when trying to get: Hikari no Udewa,
  1279. Ai no Udewa, Shikomi Dosu, Mammo no Kegawa, Holy Plate (plus more to
  1280. come).
  1281.  
  1282. \\\ Kiri no Tani ||
  1283. Lost & Found: Ibara no Muchi / Shikomi Dosu (Burner Orc \ 2),
  1284. Tetsu no Tate / Hoshi no Tate (Cyclops \ 2)
  1285. - This is where I get the Shikomi Dosu (unless I got lucky and already
  1286. got it at the desert).
  1287.  
  1288. Maniro G: \\\ Fishing Spot ||
  1289. Brave Armor 10 000 Z (Ryu, Katt, Jean, Sten, Bow)
  1290. Mars no Tate 50 000 Z (Ryu, Jean, Sten, Bow, Rand)
  1291. Seishin no Koromo 7500 Z
  1292. Ikazuchi no Kote 9000 Z
  1293.  
  1294. - This one's on an island SW of Kotto no Toride. However, due to the way
  1295. the map sections are laid out, the spot will never appear when you're
  1296. actually *on* the island. Instead, stay on the mainland, east of the
  1297. island. Once you know where the fishing spot is, re-trigger it while
  1298. you're directly south of it. This way you're as close to it as possible,
  1299. at the very edge of the map section. Anyway, once the fish appears,
  1300. have Jean morph, and start moving along the coastline. Once you hit the
  1301. two little mountains, unmorph so you can walk past the little gap, then
  1302. morph back and hope for the best. Using Ryu's Raaku spell should help.
  1303. - Either way, you'll be needing a fair amount of cash here. The Mars no
  1304. Tate is the strongest shield in the game, so better get those for your
  1305. standard PCs (also available through other sources later in the game).
  1306. Brave Armor is good, but you can soon buy a slightly better one.
  1307. - 3-5 Mars no Tate + 1-2 Brave Armor (Katt, Sten) = 160 000+ Z
  1308.  
  1309. \\\ Bandou Region ||
  1310. Lost & Found: Power Food / Mammo no Kegawa (Mammo \ 1)
  1311. - Right, so, the Mammos are here too. As I already said, if you're
  1312. using Rand in your standard party, you *definitely* want the Mammo no
  1313. Kegawa. When fighting them, use proper elemental weapons and / or Waasu.
  1314. There are Ganymedes here, but they're not common, so they won't slow
  1315. you down much. You could also fight Mammos in the Gate region, but you
  1316. can't rest there, so this place is preferred.
  1317.  
  1318. Items (nc): Genkidama, Coin, Osara (Unique) \\\ Fama Mura ||
  1319. Boss: Iwaokain
  1320. - I choose not to pick up the Osara, as I don't want to waste a storage
  1321. slot for it.
  1322. - You'll need Rand during a couple of events here. He also has to take
  1323. care of a fixed encounter on his own, so better level him up a little
  1324. if you haven't been using him.
  1325. - Anyway, have Rand in your party, and go visit Daisy. She'll ask you
  1326. to clean up the backyard.
  1327. - Note that one of the rocks will turn out to be the Iwaokain, and that
  1328. guy will actually fight back a little (might as well call it a boss).
  1329.  
  1330. [Boss]
  1331. - 1600 HP, 1624 Exp, 415 Z, W:I, R:F
  1332.  
  1333. - Go check back with Rand's mom once you're done (Rand has to be in the
  1334. lead). After that, head to Namanda Temple. You won't need Rand there,
  1335. but he still has one thing to do once you get back.
  1336.  
  1337. Item (nc): Biru Medal (Artifact) \\\ Namanda Jiin ||
  1338. Lost & Found: Topurifu Ekisu / Vigor Sword (Valkyria \ 2),
  1339. Coin (Mimic, Paawaa Eater)
  1340. Special: Solo trigger
  1341. - A good place to get Coins.
  1342. - You can pick up the Vigor Sword here (you'll need Sweh, once again).
  1343. While it's probably weaker than what you're currently using (Ashura no
  1344. Ken), you can use it to cast Cure 2 in battle, which is pretty neat.
  1345. It's easier to get in the Sky Cave, though.
  1346. - ATTENTION!
  1347. - You need to donate at least 20 times in order to get the Earth Shaman,
  1348. Solo. She's the only Shaman you can miss permanently.
  1349.  
  1350. Boss: Eva no Shisha \\\ Fama Mura ||
  1351. - You *did* donate more than 2000 Z to Namanda, didn't you?
  1352. - Go talk to the soldier at Daisy's field with Rand in the lead, and
  1353. he'll engage in a one-on-one battle with him. The other characters
  1354. can't help here, and if you die, you *will* get a game over. If you
  1355. haven't used him at all, you'll need to level him up a little. Lv19
  1356. is barely enough. Have him borrow a Mars no Tate from someone and get
  1357. some Kakigoori (you'll need 6). You can only afford to attack when
  1358. you're at max HP, so use Roosu to heal yourself.
  1359. - Overworld theme 3
  1360.  
  1361. Special: Do-Bunba-Ra \\\ Namanda Jiin ||
  1362. - Help the guy out with his bells, and he'll teach you the secret spell
  1363. Do-Bunba-Ra. Your inputs are not supposed to overlap with his bells. As
  1364. such, the second part is the hardest (A_B_A__). If it's giving you too
  1365. much trouble, that's okay. You can manage without it.
  1366.  
  1367. -A-B-- A_B_A__ B___B _-AB _-_-AA
  1368.  
  1369. - Do-Bunba-Ra: 20 AP, halves targets' HP (may miss). (Katt was my choice
  1370. here)
  1371.  
  1372. Shop: \\\ Kyoudoutai ||
  1373. Raida Tonfa (Artifact) 7800 Z
  1374. Chakram (Artifact) 5800 Z
  1375. Piercing 4600 Z
  1376.  
  1377. - Beretta's second last set of wares is now available.
  1378. - This is the only time in the game you have the opportunity to buy
  1379. a Raida Tonfa.
  1380. - If you didn't buy a Chakram in the Dream, this is your last chance
  1381. to ever get one.
  1382. - If you didn't get Kalashnikov (house #4), this is your only chance
  1383. to ever buy a Piercing.
  1384.  
  1385. \\\ Windia Jou ||
  1386. Items (nc): Biru Medal (Artifact), Genkidama, Nuno no Fuku,
  1387. Tsuki no Shizuku
  1388. Tenant: Youzou (House #5)
  1389. - Talk to the soldier at the front gate with Nina, and you should be
  1390. able to get inside.
  1391. - Find Youzou.
  1392. - Go talk to the king, then head for the basement.
  1393.  
  1394. \\\ Sora no Doukutsu ||
  1395. Items: Storm Ring (Unique), Kaze no Koromo (Unique), Kaze no Udewa (Unique)
  1396. Item (nc): Tsubasa no Akashi (Special, Temp)
  1397. Lost & Found: Topurifu Ekisu / Vigor Sword (Valkyria \ 2),
  1398. Omamori / Hikari no Udewa (Gargoyle \ 2)
  1399. Boss: Guardian
  1400. - You will no longer have access to this area once you complete the
  1401. events in the castle.
  1402. - You can explore most of the dungeon with any party, but you won't
  1403. be able to finish it without Nina.
  1404. - Technically, the first chest is in the castle, but you have to go
  1405. through the basement to get it.
  1406. - The Valkyrias are common here, especially in the area with the statue
  1407. that takes you to Nina's solo section. There are no Gargoyles there,
  1408. though, so I'd recommend the earlier areas (I get at least one Hikari
  1409. no Udewa here myself).
  1410. - If you die in Nina's solo section (highly likely if she doesn't have
  1411. Shezaaga (Lv22)), you'll end up back at the first statue. This doesn't
  1412. count as a game over, so you won't lose any money. Nina is fully healed
  1413. whenever you go in. Make sure you get the two chests before you proceed
  1414. to the boss.
  1415.  
  1416. [Boss]
  1417. - x HP (same as Nina), 2400 Exp, 700 Z
  1418. - Lv19 is, once again, barely enough.
  1419.  
  1420. \\\ Windia Jou ||
  1421. Items: Rifuraru Ekisu, Gin no Tiara, Tsuki no Shizuku
  1422. - Return to the king with the Tsubasa no Akashi. Once you're in control
  1423. of Nina again, head for the ceremonial tower.
  1424. - You've finally gained the ability to fly (allowing you to obtain a
  1425. couple of more delicious magic items). Just keep in mind that only Nina
  1426. can call the Great Bird (Ootori).
  1427. - The Gin no Tiara is the best helmet for Katt, Nina, Bleu, and Spar.
  1428. The Taiyou no Kamen may be 3 points higher in Defense, but the Gin no
  1429. Tiara also grants partial immunity to spells. Most useful considering
  1430. none of these characters can wear the Holy Plate (plus then you can
  1431. replace the Yomi no Udewa). Of course, Taiyou no Kamens are a little
  1432. easier to come by.
  1433.  
  1434. Special: AP +16 \\\ Kyoudoutai ||
  1435. - Talk to Youzou 57 times, and he'll offer to boost the AP of one
  1436. character by 16 points. Again, I chose Katt.
  1437.  
  1438. Item (nc): Takumi no Sao (Unique) \\\ Inori no Yado ||
  1439. - Loot the inn near St. Eva's church (stay away from the church itself
  1440. for now though) to find the Takumi no Sao, the best rod in the game.
  1441. This one can easily reel in all those underwater treasure chests.
  1442.  
  1443. Fish: Koutei no Ken (Unique) \\\ Fishing Spot ||
  1444. - This one's east of TownShip and requires Mina's flying abilities.
  1445. - The Koutei no Ken is, indeed, the most powerful weapon in the game,
  1446. with an ATP of 160 (bringing you to a total of 415). You can use it as
  1447. an item to cast Babaru. Use that to take out groups of Ganymedes.
  1448.  
  1449. Shop: \\\ Island Armory ||
  1450. Damakasu Blade 12 000 Z Chishiki no Gown 8200 Z
  1451. Penetrator 12 000 Z Hahanaru Koromo 28 000 Z
  1452. Amber Ring 11 000 Z Taiyou no Kamen 6800 Z
  1453. Brave Armor 10 000 Z Seirei no Tate 18 000 Z
  1454.  
  1455. - East of St. Eva's Church, you'll find an island with some palm trees
  1456. and a single building that happens to be one of the greatest armories
  1457. in the game. Bring some cash with you.
  1458. - The Amber Ring is the second strongest ring in the game. You'll need
  1459. at least one of these, as the strongest ring is unique.
  1460. - The Wisdom Robe is fairly light,
  1461. - I grabbed two Hahanaru Koromos; one for Nina and one for Bleu (more
  1462. if I didn't get lucky with the Holy Plates). Spar would be getting one
  1463. eventually as well (you can find one in the final dungeon). It's the
  1464. strongest armor he can wear.
  1465. - I got two Taiyou no Kamens for Ryu and Sten. Jean would get the one
  1466. found in the Thieves' Tomb.
  1467. - You might already have a bunch of Seirei no Tates, but, yeah, either
  1468. way, you'll want at least three of them (for Nina, Bleu and Spar). Katt
  1469. should also use one until you manage to score a Bushin no Kote (which
  1470. you may already have).
  1471. - Amber Ring, Chishiki no Gown, 2 Hahanaru Koromo, 2 Taiyou = 78 900 Z
  1472.  
  1473. Maniro H: \\\ Fishing Spot ||
  1474. Waasu Ring 9500 Z
  1475. Slicer 20 000 Z
  1476.  
  1477. - This one's on the island northwest of Guntz, but you have to stay on
  1478. the very eastern end of the island (the last 3 horizontal tiles).
  1479. - I suggest you buy 4 Waasu Rings.
  1480. - If you're using Sten in your standard party but still haven't gotten
  1481. the Demonic Knife, you can just go with the Slicer instead, as it's
  1482. still powerful enough to get his ATP to max when using Djinni.
  1483.  
  1484. Fish: Biru Medal (Artifact) \\\ Fishing Spot ||
  1485. - On the north side of the Show Cave, west of Gate. This one doesn't
  1486. require flight, but I decided not to list it earlier.
  1487.  
  1488. Fish: Biru Medal (Artifact) \\\ Fishing Spot ||
  1489. - This one's on the island south of TownShip.
  1490.  
  1491. \\\ Ragnarider Island ||
  1492. Lost & Found: Mars no Tate / Notung (Ragnarider \ 3)
  1493. - You can get Jean's ultimate weapon, Notung, on the island where the
  1494. armory is. Even if you don't use Jean, you might still want to pick it
  1495. up for Ryu, as it's the strongest Holy-elemental weapon in the game.
  1496. - Ragnariders are arguably more dangerous than Gummy Ous. They have
  1497. higher ATP and DFP, and can heavily damage your entire party with
  1498. Gureigoru, Padoraamu and Shezaaga (~100 pod to all). If there's only
  1499. one of them, you don't have too much to worry about, but if there are
  1500. two, you'll want to use a dragon spell and maybe try to hit them with
  1501. Do-Bunba-Ra (tends to works).
  1502.  
  1503. Party Level: 50-75
  1504.  
  1505. Items (nc): Biru Medal, Chie no Tama \\\ Evrai ||
  1506. - You'll have to go through a short dungeon here (for now), so if Nina
  1507. isn't part of your standard party, don't forget to drop her off at the
  1508. inn first.
  1509. - Talk to the NPC in the building with two entrances, then try to leave to
  1510. find that you're stuck. Go talk to the NPC again and jump into the toilet.
  1511.  
  1512. \\\ Eva no Nukemichi ||
  1513. - You will no longer have access to this dungeon once you complete the
  1514. Daikyoukai.
  1515. - If you jump into the hole at the beginning, you'll land almost right
  1516. next to the exit.
  1517.  
  1518. Item (nc): Biru Medal \\\ Inori no Yado ||
  1519. - Loot the cabinet as soon as you emerge. You'll find yourself at the
  1520. inn near the church.
  1521. - If you try to enter Evrai again, you'll notice that you can't.
  1522.  
  1523. \\\ Kotto no Toride ||
  1524. - Go have a chat with Tiga (Katt required) to find out your next destination.
  1525.

  1527. Items: Double Whip (Artifact), Guren no Knife (Unique),
  1528. Ikazuchi no Kote, Taiyou no Kamen, Romero no Udewa
  1529. Items (nc): Starbringer (blue tiles), Nusubito no Akashi (Special, Temp)
  1530. - If you want the elusive Starbringer, just keep doing battles on a blue face.
  1531. - Examine the empty chest at the end to reach the chest with the key item.
  1532.  
  1533. \\\ Kotto no Toride ||
  1534. - Check back with Tiga, but do note that Katt will go MIA for a while
  1535. once you do. If you end up fighting Tiga, note that you can't win.

  1542. Shaman: Seini (Holy)
  1543. Boss: Necromancer
  1544. - Lots of Spirits here, so better whip out your Holy weapons.
  1545. - You'll soon find two arrow panels that you can use to move the door
  1546. and thus access different rooms. To push the door beyond room 5, you
  1547. need to stand on the right arrow switch for 2 minutes and 48 seconds.
  1548. If you don't feel like fighting that many battles here, check the secret
  1549. areas after the boss, when the encounters are temporarily disabled.
  1550. Do note, however, that the panels stop working once you leave (but you
  1551. can still get Seini later, though).

  1561. - Watch out for Rotting (in case you're not immune). He's also got Waasu.
  1562.  
  1563. \\\ Eva Daikyoukai ||
  1564. Items: Fuuma no Kou, 1000 Z, Brass Knuckle (Unique), Dokuro no Udewa,
  1565. Daia no Udewa (Unique), Niji no Hagoromo (Unique), Crimson Garb
  1566. Lost & Found: Hard Senbei / Slicer (Assassin)
  1567. Special: Kaiser Dragon
  1568. Bosses: Ray, Roujin & 3× Guard Eyes
  1569. - You will no longer have access to this area once you complete the
  1570. events here.
  1571. - Go talk to Tiga in Claris's house to begin the infiltration.
  1572. - The monk at the gate will ask you what Eva's real name is. If you
  1573. get it wrong, you'll have to beat him up.
  1574. - Katt will rejoin the party after the initial event inside the church.
  1575. This is the point where Seini becomes available if you didn't find the
  1576. secret areas in Bando.
  1577.  
  1578. [Boss]
  1579. - The battle ends once Ryu uses Kaiser Dragon (learnt after dealing
  1580. some damage).
  1581.  
  1582. - Kaiser Dragon deals 999 pod to all enemies.
  1583. - This is the point where Beretta's last set of wares becomes available.
  1584. - You'll need Rand's field ability to take down a couple of walls after
  1585. finding Daisy. Solo becomes available after taking down the second one.
  1586. - After taking out the two Yumiheis, jump down from where the first
  1587. Yumihei was to reach the Dokuro no Udewa. This takes you all the way back
  1588. to the beginning, so feel free to leave (you won't need Rand anymore).
  1589. While you're at it, go pick up Solo (and Seini) and get some gear from
  1590. Beretta (listed below).
  1591.  
  1592. [Boss]
  1593. - DO NOT ATTACK THE OLD MAN if you want the best ending (and the flying
  1594. TownShip). I usually don't get it myself. However, even if you save the
  1595. old man, you still need to trigger the scene where TownShip gains the
  1596. ability to fly to get the best ending. As such, you could save the old
  1597. man, but not trigger the flying TownShip scene, and thus still have both
  1598. endings available.
  1599. - There are four targets:
  1600.  
  1601. A C A: 538 HP, 504 AP, W:F, R:I D: 312 HP
  1602. D B: 538 HP, 64 AP, W:I, R:F
  1603. B C: 538 HP, 504 AP
  1604.  
  1605. - Each eye only has one spell it'll use:
  1606. - A: Reigiru (~100 pod) (10 AP)
  1607. - B: Padaama (~50 pod \ all) (12 AP)
  1608. - C: Rifuraru (heal 120 HP \ all) (20 AP)
  1609. - If low on AP, the eyes will drain AP from Ganer. This is considered
  1610. Ganer's action, so the eye still gets to act that round.
  1611. - The eyes may rarely defend.
  1612. - The machine has an increasing probability to force Ganer to cast a
  1613. spell on you. This can only happen when all four targets are alive.
  1614. Whenever Ganer casts a spell, the eyes don't get to act. He can cast
  1615. Gureigoru (~100), Padoraamu (~120) and Baruharaa (~180).
  1616. - It's easy to hit Ganer unintentionally due to automatic target switching.
  1617. If you accidentally kill him, there's no need to reset. Just get a game
  1618. over instead (you can just attack your own characters if the eyes aren't
  1619. doing it). You should kill one or two of the eyes before that, as this
  1620. allows you to see their health bars the next time you fight them. A and
  1621. C are considered the same type of enemy (despite their differences), so
  1622. killing one of them gives you both of their health bars.
  1623.  
  1624. Shop: \\\ Kyoudoutai ||
  1625. Armor Pain 16 000 Z Haou no Yoroi 25 000 Z
  1626. Dokyuu 23 000 Z Hahanaru Koromo 28 000 Z
  1627. Kaiser Knuckle 25 000 Z Seirei no Tate 18 000 Z
  1628. Amber Ring 11 000 Z Kagayaki no Kabuto 16 000 Z
  1629.  
  1630. - Baretta's last set of wares is quite impressive. The Kagayaki no
  1631. Kabuto is the strongest headwear for Jean, Sten and Bow, the Kaiser
  1632. Knuckle is Rand's ultimate weapon, and the Dokyuu is Bow's ultimate
  1633. weapon (kind of).
  1634. × I bought only one ShinyHT, and that was for Bow. Sten would get a
  1635. free one soon, and Ryu and Jean would receive updates not long after
  1636. that as well.
  1637. × The Armor Pain is Ryu's strongest non-elemental weapon, but there's
  1638. really no need for it. Only Spirits resist Thunder, and you should
  1639. use a Holy-elemental weapon for those.
  1640. × The Haou no Yoroi is the strongest armor you can buy (usable by Ryu,
  1641. Jean and Sten). If you've failed to procure any Holy Plates, you may
  1642. want to grab one of those.
  1643. - Kagayaki no Kabuto, Kaiser Knuckle, Dokyuu = 64 000 Z.
  1644. - If you saved Ganer and told Eichichi about the machine under your
  1645. town, head into the well and your town will be able to fly. It's quite
  1646. slow, though, and it's too big to land on the area where the Koutei no
  1647. Ken is, but it's still something (especially since you're about to lose
  1648. the ability to call Mina).
  1649.  
  1650. Shaman: (Seini) (Holy) \\\ Bandou Kyoukai ||
  1651. - Revisit Bando for Seini (if you missed her the first time around).
  1652.  
  1653. Shaman: Solo (Earth) \\\ Fama Mura ||
  1654. - Pick up Solo at Daisy's backyard. Solo is the best shaman for Rand
  1655. and Spar. The Sproutling form's Hana allows Spar to deal great damage
  1656. (albeit uncontrollably and with a slight delay).
  1657.  
  1658. - WARNING: You will lose the ability to fly on the Great Bird once you
  1659. trigger the next event at Gate! If you saved Ganer and got TownShip
  1660. to fly, this isn't that big of a deal (assuming you got the Koutei no
  1661. Ken). However, if you killed him, make *absolutely* sure you have
  1662. nothing left to do in the areas that require the ability to fly. Here's
  1663. a recap just in case:
  1664. × Evrai island (Takumi no Sao)
  1665. × Fishing spot east of TownShip (Koutei no Ken)
  1666. × Island armory / Ragnarider Island
  1667. × Maniro H
  1668.  
  1669. Shaman: Shin (Devil) \\\ Gate ||
  1670. Lost & Found: Gin no Tiara / Chishiki no Gown (Habalq \ 5)
  1671. Boss: Habalq
  1672. - When you're ready, go talk to Father Hulk at the dragon.
  1673. - Explore the little areas of the final dungeon available to you now
  1674. to find the last remaining shaman, Shin.
  1675. - At this point, you're supposed to go chasing after Patty (CotLnd,
  1676. WildCat, ThvsTomd, TownShip), but it's not strictly necessary to talk
  1677. to all the NPCs who give you clues on her whereabouts. Simply talking
  1678. to the first one at Kotto no Toride is enough. After that, you'll find
  1679. her on the second floor at Niro's place.
  1680. - After locating Patty, return to Hulk, but make sure you save your
  1681. game first. (Well, actually, the game lets you walk away and leave
  1682. right before you fight Babaruku.)
  1683.  
  1684. [Boss]
  1685. - 2500 HP, 3800 Exp, 5000 Z
  1686. - He can cast the most powerful spells, including Baruharaa, but he
  1687. tends to go for something harmless like Marekuta. Better bring some
  1688. Rifuraru Extracts just in case, though.
  1689. - I recommend you get your second Gin no Tiara here, as Habalq has a
  1690. decent enough chance of dropping one.
  1691.  
  1692. - After the battle, you're looking at a fairly important dialog option.
  1693. If you choose the first one, you'll get the bad ending. Might as well
  1694. check it out. However, in order to receive closure...
  1695.

  1721.  
  1722. Bosses: Barbario, Deathevan
  1723.  
  1724. - You probably can't get all the items in a single trip. I need 2 myself.
  1725. - All the items up to the Final Blow are found in "upper" Infinity.
  1726. - You'll have plenty of use for your Holy weapons, especially in upper
  1727. Infinity.
  1728. - About halfway through, you'll reach Doraguniiru. This is where you'll
  1729. find the first save point (there are two more in lower Infinity). You
  1730. can also rest and shop, but you don't have access to your storage.
  1731. - Before you go learn Anfini in the shrine below Doraguniiru, I suggest
  1732. you pick up a Nyan Nyan Bou. I do it in the area where you find the
  1733. Abarenbou.
  1734. - When you get Anfini, your soul unions will be undone.
  1735. - If you use Derudan in lower Infinity, you'll be taken to the save point
  1736. in Doraguniiru.
  1737. - There are two paths you can take in the final area. You should take
  1738. the southern ladder first and get the two items on that path (Dragon
  1739. Helm and Seirei no Tate), then return to B1 and take the northern path.
  1740. - If you still want Gin no Tiaras, you can encounter Magic Masters in
  1741. pairs in most areas in lower Infinity. The B2 level is ideal.
  1742. - Once you reach an area that's completely dark, you're about to encounter
  1743. Barbario. Do not proceed without a good supply (~10) of Rifuraru Ekisu
  1744. (if you're not using Bow or Rand).

  1780.  
  1781. [Boss]
  1782. - 5000 HP, 4000 Exp, 5000 Z
  1783. - At first you'll fight him with your full party. However, the battle
  1784. ends after inflicting some damage. You then have the choice of fighting
  1785. him with Ryu alone (not recommended).
  1786. - Baruharaa: ~130-180. Honoo no Iki / Itetsuku Iki: ~100.
  1787. - Even his normal attack hits all your characters, so expect heavy
  1788. damage every turn.
  1789.  
  1790. - In the next area, you'll find the final save point. The final boss
  1791. is just around the corner (straight north after using the teleporter).
  1792. - The little rooms you can reach from the area with the Haja no Kanmuri
  1793. are the only places in the game where you can encounter Pendragon and
  1794. Zodiac (not in the same rooms, though). They have a low encounter rate
  1795. and the items have low drop rates. I suggest you forget about them.
  1796. - Return to the area where you fought Barbario with Katt and Sten in
  1797. their basic forms. Look for a rock you can smash on the right side.
  1798. After taking care of that, you'll have to cross a gap with Sten in
  1799. order to reach the Inochi no Udewa.
  1800.  
  1801. [Boss]
  1802. - 10 000 HP
  1803. - You'll have to use Anfini in order to end the first phase.
  1804. - Itetsuku Iki: ~100 pod \all
  1805. - One of his attacks drains 60 HP and 25% of cAP from all your characters.
  1806. - Bone Laser: ~110 pod \all
  1807. - Again, bring a good amount of Rifuraru Ekisu for healing.
