- The game does not show you your play time. Consider tracking it
manually.
- Check the BoF2 guide by Ben Siron for information on the mechanics
of the game. Do note, however, that it's got numerous typos in the
numbers. Over the years, corrections have been made and additional
information has been uncovered by others, mainly Nitrodon.
- The game's game over policy is the "golden parachute;" when you die,
you lose half of the money you're carrying and end up at the last save
point you used. If you can't return to that save point, you'll end up
at some other location.
- Inventory slots: 48 | Storage slots: 126
- Stats
 Strength    | Base ATP
 Stamina     | Base DFP
 Agility     | Base Vigor, chance to flee
 Wisdom      | Magical damage and defense, debuff hit rate / resistance
 Luck        | Chance to flee, Cond. changes
 Guts        | Special abilities
 Cond.       | Critical hit rate, Counterattack rate, Evade rate

- Vigor = Agi - armor weight. Vigor determines acting order during battle.
- The actual Guts value is not visible. Instead, the game shows flames,
with each flame representing 32 points. Guts is the only stat that
features some random variation in how it increases on leveling up.
- The actual Condition value is not visible. Instead, the game shows a
description (Poor / OK / Good / Super) that changes every 64 points.
Condition increases (or possibly decreases) as you spend time on the
field (with Luck playing a minor role as well).
- Super Condition gives you a base critical hit rate of 37,5%, a
counterattack rate of 50% and an evade rate of 18,75%.
- A counterattack will be a critical hit if the character has landed a
critical hit earlier that round.
- Counterattacks ignore elemental variables.
- Defending decreases damage by either 50%, 36%, 25%, or 19% and affects
both physical and magical damage.
- When a character dies, they have a small chance of being revived with
12,5% HP.
- Depending on your formation, the game applies additional multipliers
to damage dealt (Dmg a), damage received (Dmg b) and critical hit rate.

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

- Status ailments:
 Poison     | -1 HP per step (nothing in battle).
 Sleep      | Unable to act until hit with a physical.
 Rotting    | Turn into a Zombie at the end of the next round.
 Zombie     | Character attacks own party members.
 Curse      | Cond 0

- Enemies generally inflict ailments using either a single target or
a multi-target attack. The single target one also deals damage, while
the multi-target one does not. Both have what seems like a 50% success
rate.
- Many spells produce visual effects that you shouldn't look at.
- The game gives you the option of turning the music off (one of the
very few RPGs on the Snes that lets you do that). While I'm certainly
very fond of the soundtrack, I do turn the music off during longer
grinding sessions. The field music restarts after a battle, so you
might want to turn it off because of that as well.

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

Items (nc): LifePl, Antdt			\\\ HomeTown ||

- You can rest for free in your apartment on the second floor of the
building near the front gate (not the inn).
- You can't explore the northern part of the town at this time.
- Some buildings are locked at night, and there are also fewer NPCs
around at night. Aside from that, the day and night cycle only really
has a cosmetic effect.
- You can exit the menu instantly by pressing X.
- Don't forget to save your game at the dragon god statue.
- Use L and R to switch the lead character on the field.

- Don't forget to make use of the handy Auto-Battle command.
- Using L and R during battle gives you the Switch and Defend commands.
- You should buy a Bronze Sword and a SteelAR (370 Z).
- I recommend against updating Bow's equipment. He'll soon end up MIA
and will stay that way for quite a long time.
- Ryu's special skill, Guts, allows him to heal some of his HP.
- Bow's default special skill, Shot, has him attempting an instant kill
(success rate goes down for higher level enemies). His field ability is
hunting.
- Press Select on the overworld to view the world map. It employs map
section-based fog.
- The encounter rate in the HomeTown map section drops from high to low
once Ryuu hits Lv5. The neighboring map sections (that have the same
encounters) will still have a medium encounter rate at that point, and
it doesn't drop until you hit Lv8.
- After every battle on the overworld, there's a chance that a fishing
spot or hunting spot will become available. Fishing spots have fixed
locations, whereas hunting spots appear in a random tile. After getting
a kill while hunting, pick up the item as quickly as possible or the
item will degrade in quality or even disappear. When an animal is in
a bush, it can't see you, but you can't damage it.
- If you feel that accumulating money from fighting battles is too slow,
you can sell fish and items obtained through hunting. Hunting in particular
can be a significant source of income at the earlier stages of the game.
A full batch of Roast will net you 1800 Z, although you should probably
hoard up on it as well, seeing as it fully heals a single character's HP.
- Don't bother traveling east across the bridge yet. Not only are the
enemies tough, but there's nowhere to go, as there's a guy blocking
your way north, and the Exp isn't much better than what you get in the
mountain.

Items: SaladBwl, FireRock			\\\ Mt. Fubi ||
Lost & Found: SteelAR (Corpse), Charm (S Goblin)
Boss(es): Palo, Peach & Puti
- You can probably survive here at Lv3. Stay by the healing spring and
level up to at least Lv5. Leveling up on the overworld will get you
more money, though (assuming you're okay at hunting).
- You'll stop getting encounters in the outside areas once you've fought
15 battles there.
- You'll fight the boss after passing through the first cave area.

[Boss]
- 80 / 40 / 40 HP, 150 Exp, 27 Zenny in total

- Make sure you find both chests before you jump down the hole.

Item (nc): Suzy (Special, Temp)			\\\ Ruins ||
Boss: Roach b
- There's a fishing spot with a treasure chest (IronBR) nearby, but you
don't have a rod that can pull it up yet.

[Boss]
- 100 HP, 64 Exp, 15 Z
- There's a good chance it'll regenerate its health upon hitting 0 HP.

Item (nc): 500 Z				\\\ HomeTown ||
- As I mentioned, Bow will soon leave the party and remain off the
grid for a good amount of time. Better stock up on those Herbs.
- Report to the guild master.
 |
[PC: - Bow]

- Go talk to Kilgore, then return to your apartment to find Bow.

						\\\ Ruins ||
- After the event, head northeast.

 LeotrdCL	320 Z		WFruit		200 Z
 RangerCL	510 Z		Vtmn		200 Z
 BronzeHT	390 Z		TearDr		100 Z

- There's no dragon statue here. You'll have to save at the church.
- RangerCL + BronzeHT = 900 Z
- Maniro A can be caught at the fishing spot outside of Coursair, but
you really shouldn't use a Coin on that. You can't afford the stuff anyway.
- If you donate to the church 20 times (2000 Z) either here or in
HomeTown, you'll obtain the elusive, yet ultimately useless, key item
EvansBib.
- Talk to Rand at the pub at night (if it's day, you can talk to the
barkeep to wait), then head north.

						\\\ TagWoods ||
Items: Herb, 100 Z, Herb, Gold, Smoke, 100 Z
Item (nc): BabaAxe (Special)
Boss: Baba
- Do *not* travel west or north from the woods!
- Lv7 is enough to survive here, but you need to stay near or at max HP
at all times.
- Make sure you hang on to that piece of Gold. We'll need it for fishing
later. It's not even possible to sell it, so...

[Boss]
- 169 HP, 150 Exp, 100 Z

Item: 1000 Z					\\\ Coursair ||
Item (nc): D.R.Key (Special, Temp)
PCs: Katt Lv6, Rand Lv6
Default (Katt): TreeST (Artifact), Bum'sCL, RistBand, Bandana
Default (Rand): HandKN (Unique), SuedeAR, RistBand, Bandana
Bosses: Katt, Augus
- Go deposit all your money at the bank. Heal up and save while you're
at it.
- Check back with Rand at the pub. After that, you're free to enter
the Coliseum.
- After fighting Dir. HR (169 xp) and getting the key, head for the
dress room, but do NOT open the chest (the one in the right room. The
left one is a dummy, but feel free to try and get it). Ignore it for
now and just try to open the door beside it to make Rand appear. Once
he's taken all your money, it's okay to grab the chest.

[Boss]
- 220 HP, 200 Exp, 80 Z
- After the battle, you're supposed to cover Katt, so she doesn't get
hit by the needles (simply hold up on the d-pad). If you succeed, she'll
join you right away. If you screw up, she'll join you after Augus.
 |
[PC: Katt]

- Get new gear (690 Z) and 2 levels for Katt. You can also get a BronzeHT
for Rand.
- Katt's default special skill, Dare, tries to force enemies to attack her.
I've never gotten any use out of it. On the field, she can hunt and smash
things with her staff.
- You're going to need the money, so you should learn how to hunt properly
with Katt. Don't approach the animals directly and time your attacks well.
- Katt learns three powerful spells early in the game, but won't have
enough AP to cast them for a long time (Hail (17) at Lv39, Fireball (20)
at Lv61, Bolt-X (30) at Lv74).

[PC: Rand]
 |
[Boss]
- 680 HP, 150 Exp, 300 Z
- He gets two turns per round and hits really hard when he uses his
charge attack. With a little luck and prompt healing, you should be okay.
 |
[PC: (Katt)]

- Go pick up a Leotard and a SteelAR for Nina before you head back to
Niro's place.

						\\\ Ruins ||
[PC: - Rand]
- Rand leaves the party here and will remain MIA for the next two dungeons.

Item (nc): Herb					\\\ HomeTown ||
- Go see Nina at the Magic School, then head for Mt. Rocko.

Items: LuckCndy, SilverDR, 100 Z, 1000 Z	\\\ Mt.Rocko ||
Lost & Found: Herb / SilverDR (Trikster)
PC: Nina Lv8
Default (Nina): FalseRG (Unique), Bum'sCL, RistBand, Bandana
Boss: Joker
- There's a little puzzle here involving the name of the boss's nephew,
but you can easily just ignore it. Getting it right allows you to skip
one of the event battles.

[PC: Nina]
 |
[Boss]
- 580 HP, 300 Exp, 200 Z, W:I, R:F
- Have Nina switch her equipment from the item menu (ie. during the battle).

- Nina's default special skill, Will, allows her to restore some of her AP.
- Grab a Bronze Helmet for Sten on your way to Windia (NW of Coursair).

Items (nc): TreeST (Artifact), 100 Z		\\\ Windia ||
PC: Sten Lv8
Default (Sten): BoyDR, Bum'sCL, RistBand, SaladBwl
Shop:
 LongSD		620 Z		ChainML		720 Z
 WoodenDR	290 Z		HolyRB		530 Z
 MagicRG	530 Z		BronzeSH	510 Z
 RevetKN	460 Z		GlassRG		380 Z

[PC: Sten]
- WoodenDR, 3 ChainML, HolyRB, 2 BronzeSH, 2 GlassRG = 4760 Z
- Stock up on Antidotes.
- You can use Sten's field ability to cross small gaps like the one
found south of Windia.
- Sten's default special skill, RIP, is, er... not worth using.

					\\\ Windia / Capitan Region ||
Lost & Found: Gold (K.Goblin), BronzeSD / JahAR (Kimoto), Charm (Stooly)

Item (nc): HelpBL				\\\ Huntldge ||
Item (nc): LifePl				\\\ JahWoods ||

Items: Van.Ext, Charm				\\\ Capitan ||
Items (nc): GutsBL, WFruit, SuedeAR, Tolen [sic] (Artifact)
Boss: Terapin
- Stay away from the well for now.
- The Tokens / Tolens will have no use, so you don't really need to pick
them up. No big deal if you do. They stack, so, at most, they'll take
2 slots of your storage.
- You'll likely have to level up for a while before you can take out the
next boss. Lv10 is enough, but I would recommend a little higher than that.

[Boss]
- 1300 HP, 300 Exp, 500 Z
- Fire Breath: 30 pod to all. Quake: ~20 pod to all.
- Brainwav will force one of your characters to attack your own party.

- After the battle, Ray asks you to rescue the villagers in the well.
There are 6 people in total and four of them have been attacked by
facehuggers. You don't actually have to rescue any of them. Just talk
to Ray and tell him you're done.
- Whatever you do, do *not* save more than 4 villagers.
- If you use a multitarget spell, the villager will get hit first and
inevitably die, forcing the battle to end before the Chiroru is even
hit by the spell. In any case, these battles are always worth 0 xp and
Zenny.
- Afterwards, Ray asks you to take him to your hideout (henceforth
referred to as TownShip). Better not save your game in case you get
the wrong spell.

PC: Rand					\\\ TownShip ||
Special: Cure 2 / Renew
- Ray will offer to teach one of your characters either Cure2 (0-4
villagers saved) or Renew (5 or 6 villagers saved). I'd say it's a
choice between Sten and Nina, so go with whoever you're planning on
using more often.
- Rand can now join the party again.
- Rand's field ability allows you to move more quickly, although hitting
something will force you into a random encounter.
- Rand's special skill, Wake, has a chance of reviving a dead character
with 1 HP. You can also use it to wake up a sleeping party member.
- From now on, you can change party members at dragon statues.

						\\\ Capitan ||
- Talk to the girl in red with Ryu in the lead.

						\\\ JahWoods ||
Special: FirPuppy, IcePuppy, T.Puppy + Sana (Fire Shaman)
- After the Union experiment, head back to Capitan. Talk to the guy
next to the inn to get warped back to TownShip, where Granny asks you
to go and find a carpenter in Capitan.
- The three new spells you received are quite powerful, but they will
always drain all of Ryu's AP when used.

						\\\ Capitan ||
- The carpenter you want is definitely the guy in the east-most
building (the regular-looking house). Do *NOT* choose any other
carpenter!
- Choosing the guy who makes normal houses allows you to create
stat-boost items by cooking.
- Afterwards, you can finally catch a boat to access the western
continent.

Party Level: ~15

						\\\ SimaFort Region ||
Lost & Found: StoneAR / EarthAR (S.Idol), Shaker (Catfish)
- You can rest for free at the camp site near the lake.
- Watch out for those Stone Idols. ColdBrth tends to hurt (~50 pod to
all).

- From now on, you're more likely to run into Beaks and Grizzlies while
hunting. Coming into contact with them will initiate a battle (and thus
end the hunting session). Beaks will actively pursue you, take 6 hits
to kill, leave no items, and to top it all off, they respawn after 10
seconds. They're not common yet at this point in the game, but eventually
they will be. If you hit them at the bottom of the screen, you can
basically take them out with a single hit (they'll move off-screen and,
thus, despawn, but they'll still respawn).

Maniro B:					\\\ Fishing Spot ||
 BusterSD	2200 Z
 WiseRB		3000 Z
 NationHT	1800 Z

- This one shows up very close to the Wild Cat Restaurant. You need to
stay within three vertical tiles from the restaurant. Otherwise, you're
in the wrong map section.
- You'll find Maniros in certain fishing spots. When you catch one, you
can access their shop. The only bait that works is Gold. It takes 18
seconds for Maniro to show up. Keep your lure close, and you should be
able to catch him with little effort.
- You can get a free Wise Robe at the Witch's Tower, so don't buy one.
- You'll find a SokletAR in the cave behind the waterfall (available
after the Witch's Tower). It's one point higher than the NationHT,
and everyone can equip it (except for Rand, of course).
- 1 BusterSD, 2 NationHT = 5800 Z.

- There's a hidden tech you can get at the WildCat Restaurant, but it's
a lot easier once you have Jean. Keep in mind, you won't be able to get
it anymore once you've been to SimaFort.

						\\\ WitchTwr ||
Items: CureAL, 5× 100 Z, 3× 1 Z, 1000 Z, Herb, SilkGL, WizardRG,
 WiseRB, WiseHoop, WiseBL
Lost & Found: Medicate / FireRG (Monoped), BronzeHT / IronSH (Ogre),
 WizardRG / FireRG (Nimufu)
Shaman: Seso (Water)
Boss: Nimufu
- You can force yourself a random encounter by stepping on the platform
with a character other than Ryu. Stepping on the switch thingie with
Ryu will also trigger encounters, and once you do it a bunch of times
in a row, the gate will open, and the switch won't do anything anymore.
If you leave the tower, the gate will reset, forcing you to repeat the
process.
- You can ignore the chest (it's empty) and the NPC in the first room.
- If you go east in the area with the last two chests, you'll jump out
of the tower.

[Boss]
- 550 HP, 400 Exp, 400 Z

- You can now get the Water Shaman, Seso, on the fourth floor (ride
the right-most platform in the Amidakuji room). If you're planning on
using Jean, you should go get him first, so he can start gaining
experience as soon as possible.
- If you're not feeling too obsessive, you should keep your fusion list
short by only doing the fusions that are the most useful.

PC: Jean Lv10					\\\ Cursed Woods ||
Default (Jean): ShortRP (Unique), SuedeAR, BronzeSH, SaladBwl
- As you exit the woods, you'll be notified that TownShip has reached
phase 2. This means you can start inviting people to come live in your
village. Before you do that, though, you should go pick up the WiseBL
from house #2. Once (or if) you sign up Leminton, you can no longer
reach the cupboard in question.
- This is where I (somewhat briefly) get to use my usual party:
Ryu, Katt, Jean, Sten.
- Jean's field ability allows you move in inland waters and hop over
small obstacles. At Level 14, he'll also learn the spell Warp, which
*may* come in handy.
- Jean's default special skill, Jab, is an attack that targets all
enemies (low damage).
- STAY AWAY FROM SIMAFORT! You'll lose Jean very quickly upon entering
the place, and we don't want that.

Items: SokletAR, KmikzeBL			\\\ WaterFal ||
Special: FireDrgn, IceDrgn, T.Drgn
- Swim down the waterfall to get here.
- The level 2 Dragon spells are all non-elemental and will deal 512 pod
to all enemies so long as Ryu has max AP (or close). (*Technically*,
the Dragon spells have the indicated elements, but at the same time,
the damage is simply unaffected by elemental resistance.)

Special: Chopchop / mHP +16			\\\ WildCat ||
Boss: Wildcat
- We're now going to pick up a hidden technique called Chopchop from
one of the friendly chefs at the Wild Cat Restaurant. The process is
a little tricky, though, as you'll have to fight a difficult boss with
a number of penalties (such as no items), and even if you survive, you
might end up getting the HP boost instead. The HP boost is certainly
worth considering as well, though (unless you're planning on using a
party with Bow, Spar and Bleu). Using something like the Fire Ring as
an item gives you essentially the same effect as Chopchop, and anyone can
use it. The only cost is that it'll take up one slot in your inventory.

- First off, you'll have to leave your items, no exceptions. Then, you'll
be asked to take off your equipment (numbers 2 - 4) and replace them
with items that have virtually no power whatsoever. This really isn't
going to help you take out the boss, so this is where we're going to
refuse to follow the instructions and fight our way through the Bouncer
(I'm sure you can handle him). HOWEVER, you can only afford to do this
twice, otherwise you'll get the HP boost. I suggest you skip numbers
3 and 4 (you don't even have to read the sign, you can just ignore it),
so you'll only lose your accessories and headwear. If you want the HP
boost instead, ignore the signs from 2-5.
- The salt and pepper thing doesn't do anything.
- Number 6 defines how much HP you'll lose before the boss. Go with Rare,
and you'll only lose 25%. If you ignore the sign, you'll start the boss
with only 1 HP.

 1. Items (forced, includes accessories)
 2. Hats
 3. Jackets [armor] (napkins)
 4. Weapons & shields (plate + fork)
 5. Salt & pepper
 6. Rare / Medium / Well-done

[Boss]
- 610 HP, 700 Exp, 400 Z
- With the new Dragon spells, you should be fine. Without them, your odds
aren't great. Try hitting him with Pwr.Down and Def-Down in that case.

- After the battle, go talk to the chef in the kitchen and choose the
following dialog options:
 7. Are you mad that I tried to turn you into steaks? ---> No
 8. You are soft-hearted aren't you? ---> Yes

- And that's it. I gave the skill to Katt.
- The HP boost increases the max HP of all active party members by 16.
It's not much, but it's something.
- Talk to the bouncer on your way out to get your items back.
- Note that Jean can jump over the terrain around Cursed Woods, so you
don't have to walk through it.

Item: DivideBL (Unique)				\\\ TownShip ||
Items (nc): Charcoal (H1), WiseBL (H2), F.Spice (H3), Dinker
- The Dinker is on the bookshelf in Granny's house.
- Unite Sana with Sten for a fairly decent boost in ATP.
- Keep in mind, you'll lose the bonding if the character's HP drops
below 25% or if the character is Zombiefied. There are a few events
that will cancel them as well (such as when you first visit SimaFort).
- Nowhere in the camp menu does it specifically tell you what (if any)
Soul Union a character has.
- The DivideBL can be used infinitely to unbond from a Shaman. I don't
pick it up myself, since I don't really need it.
- Note that you are fully healed by simply visiting the Union menu.
- Time to go get some tenants. Here's what I strongly recommend:
 House 1: Hekkeller (HomeTown)
 House 2: Leminton (Capitan)
 House 3: Baretta (Windia)
 House 4: Karashinikofu (Guntz) / Barose (Inheart)
 House 5: Yozo (Windia Castle)
 House 6: Daiye (Windia)

- Do try to avoid signing up people you don't want. There's no way to
get rid of them.

 MagmaAR	4700 Z         Beretta:
 FlameSH	3700 Z		BronzeST	 940 Z

- BronzeST, MagmaAR, FlameSH = 10 320 Z
 + FlameSD, HeatST, KingSD = 8180 Z

- This stuff is pretty expensive, so I suggest you compromise and only
buy a Magma Armor and Flame Shield for Ryuu, as he takes most of the
hits. If Sten is your third character, he should be fine with an Iron
Armor (from Sima) and a Demon Shield. You'll want to hang on to the
Demon Shield, as it casts Drain when used during battle.
- If you can only afford one of the elemental weapons, go with the Heat
Staff.
- No need to buy anything for Jean. He can use hand-me-downs and the
stuff you obtain in Sima Castle.
- Place the elemental weapons (or the non-elemental ones) at the top
of your inventory to make mid-battle switching as quick as possible.
- If you didn't get Chopchop, you should pick up a Fire Ring for defense-
ignoring damage (use it as an item during battle).
- Go talk to your carpenter, and he'll offer to expand the village
for 1000 Z (assuming you already have residents in the first three
houses). Once you agree, exit and re-enter TownShip 7 times, and it
will reach phase 3.
- Oh, and, yeah, cooking is also available now. Not much you can do
yet, though.

back to the Wild Cat.

- The DluxPole is strong enough to reel in those underwater treasure
chests, but you need to be very good with the rhythm. However, there's
nothing really interesting available at the moment, so I suggest you
save your efforts for later.

PC: Jean
Bosses: G.Roach, J.Worm, GoldFly, Kuwadora

- Return the ring to Jean for some more scenes.
- Head to the Prince's room and hit the switch on the wall.
- After you find Tata, go talk to his girlfriend, Fiolina, in the courtyard.
- Return to Tata to receive the keys needed to open the two doors there.
- Examine the little wall in front of the buckets (top floor) to find the
hidden stash of cash Tata was talking about. There are three spots in total,
all next to each other (You'll get the usual "Isn't there anything here...?"
message when you hit the right spot).
- After riding the buckets, you'll soon bump into the Gold Fly, who attacks
you right away. You can't win this fight, however, and the battle ends
automatically after 4 rounds (go with Defend).
- Mimics use Zombie Attack.
- There's a guy blocking your path to the Stamina until you beat J.Worm.

[Boss: J.Worm]
- 1103 HP, 440 Exp, 200 Z
- This guy's fairly tough. He's got a 50% counter rate and uses fixed
critical hits and Sweet Breath.

[Boss: G.Roach]
- 990 HP, 500 Exp, 0 Z, W:F, R:I

[Boss: GoldFly]
- 580 HP, 520 Exp, 400 Z, W:W

- Once the kitchen battle is finished, head to the kitchen bathroom.

[Boss: Kuwadora]
- 1650 HP, 1600 Exp, 800 Z, W:I, R:F
- Definitely bring some LifePls for this one. He can deal around 100
pod at worst, which could easily take out a character in a single hit.

- Head down to the kitchen storage to pick up Yua / Patty (and don't
forget to loot the treasure room).
 - The Sol Blade is one of five weapons that can inflict instant death
 ("Toasty"). The odds are only about 5-10%, so it's nothing reliable, but
 it does work on all non-event enemies (Death spell resistance is not a
 factor at all). It doesn't work, though, if the enemy is at a higher
 level than the character. (The enemy's level is what Siron's guide
 refers to as the enemy's Luck.)
 - Hang on to the Short Rapier for a while. You'll want Ryuu using the
 Solblade on the boss after the next boss.
- Note that you can trigger Jean's field ability at the entrance of the
castle, so you don't have to use the boat every time.
- If you want to return to the dungeon (to get Coins), you need to ride
the buckets down, take the elevator up, so it's not blocking your path,
then go and ride the buckets down again. Eventually, you'll need to get
a couple of extra Coins, but there are other places where you can encounter
Mimics later as well.

Item: Cake					\\\ HomeTown ||
Items (nc): Antdt, M.Hood (Special)

- Go see Trout and visit the basement. After that, Bow can finally get
back on the field again.
- Go talk to Kilgore with Bow in the lead. Choose to help Bow, otherwise
he'll go in solo.

						\\\ W.Cape ||
Items: SteelAR, 100 Z, PwrFood, GoldAR (Unique)
Items (nc): Herb, W.Bell (Special)
Boss: Munmar
- This place is south from SimaFort (in case you haven't been there yet).
- You will no longer have access to the dungeon once you complete the
events here.
- You'll need Katt's field ability here.
- Fastman can cast S.Boom (~60 pod to all).
- If you see any C.Sludges (found in areas where you don't encounter
G.Shakers, ie. the middle areas), hit them with Chopchop (or magic).
They have a good chance of running away, though.

[Boss]
- 800 HP, 1150 Exp, 2000 Z, Spirit
- Use your Holy weapons (SoleSD and WonderRP).

- Now, go back and hit that thing near the beginning.
- As you might guess, with Grandpa's help, you can reach a number of
new places. You'll have trouble surviving in some areas, however, so
you'll want to deposit all your money first. (Your next main objective
is getting Spar from the carnival near Tunlan.)
- At this point, I suggest you stop hunting if you already have a good
amount of Roast (50 or so). With enemies now giving comparable amounts
of money and the increasing frequency of Beaks, it's really not that
appealing anymore, even if you like doing it for the fun of it.

Item: Tolen (Artifact)				\\\ Bleu's Place ||
Item (nc): Cond.Up
- Follow the coastline south from HomeTown / TownShip. This will take
you to the Great Desert. In the southeast corner of the desert is a
beach and near this beach you'll find Bleu's dwelling. It's partially
camouflaged with the desert, but shouldn't be too hard to detect.
- Inside, talk to one of the spirits, then head to HomeTown (better use
Warp, as you really don't want to get into any encounters in this area).
- Cond.Up increases a character's Cond to Super, but you can easily
reach it organically (you probably already have).

PC: Bleu Lv35					\\\ HomeTown ||
Default (Bleu): WizardRG, SilkGL, WiseRB, SokletAR
- You can find Bleu disguised as one of the students on the second
floor of the Magic School.
- Bleu's special skill, Shed, allows her to regenerate her AP.
- Bleu can't bond with any Shamans.

 BlndedML         6800 Z     Frizbee         100 Z
 BlndedSH         8000 Z

- This place is south of Tunlan / southeast of Whale Cape.
- There's a bunch of gear you need pick up. Better find a nice place to
grind.
- I strongly recommend you sign up Kalashnikov to House #4. It's either
him, or Barose. Barose can teach you some high level spells, but as I
tend to rely on normal physical attacks, this wasn't a hard choice for me.
- Go down the hidden staircase behind the bookshelves in Kalashnikov's
house to find Eichichi. You can invite her to your town as well (if
you've seen the machine in the well).
- BrassSD, BlndedAR (Ryu), BlndedSH (Ryu), BlndedML (Katt) = 35 300 Z

 KingOfDR       6200 Z

- The White Shield is 2 points lower than the BlndedML and 7 points
lower than the BlndedSH, but I'd say it's a good choice for characters
who are less likely to be targeted.
- BirchST (Ice), 2 WhiteSH (Sten, Jean) = 14 100 Z

 ThndrRP        8400 Z       MystryHT        3100 Z
 LopOffWP       2000 Z

- This one's west of the Thieves' Tomb. Just go down the river near
Highland Castle until it reaches the ocean. With Ice weapons and a Lv30+
party, you should be able to survive long enough for the spot to appear.
You could also just use a dragon spell or run away and hope it appears
quickly.
- (BrassST), ThndrRP, 4 MystryHT = 20 800 Z (29 000 Z)
 - You should only buy the BrassST if you're not keeping track of enemy
 elemental resistance. Otherwise, you can just use the BirchST and switch
 when needed.

- West of Whale Cape, on the other side of the continent (beyond the
Sea of Trees) is a cape with a lone house at the end of it (Akky's
house). This fishing spot appears a bit east from the house.
- Really the only thing of interest here is the Holy Scarf, which is
supposed to lower the encounter rate a little (when equipped on the
lead character), but I'm not sure if I can really notice much of a
difference.

enemy twice.

- On the island where Tunlan is.
- I would recommend against using a Coin here unless Sweet Breath is
driving you insane.

						\\\ Maori Island ||
Lost & Found: Charm / ShinyBR (Banbhand \ 2)
- Northwest of HomeTown.
- Fire-elemental weapons make this a good place to grind until you can
survive elsewhere. You might even get lucky and score a Shiny Bracelet
(prevents all status ailments). If you don't get any, that's fine. It's
easier once you have Sweh.

						\\\ Mt.Maori ||
Items: MoonDrop, ThornWP, CureAL, FlameSD, HushRG (Unique), FlameSH,
 MagmaAR
- The outside areas of the mountain have the same encounters as on the
overworld, but the Champion Sludge encounter seems more common. That,
combined with the healing spring in the first cave, makes this a little
better for grinding (unless you still have some hunting to do).
- There's nothing particularly important here, so you could get the
items later, when you're actually supposed to do the dungeon.
- You'll need to jump off the cliff at one point in order to reach
the HushRG.

						\\\ South Desert ||
Lost & Found: ThornWP / GlassDR (Titong \ 1), EarthAR / LoveBR (Cancer \ 1)
 FireRock / BraveAR (G.Idol \ 2)
- Once you get closer to Level 40, you should be able to survive in
this neighborhood.
- There are some nice drops here, but nothing you can't manage without.
I always get at least one Love Bracelet at some point. Also, the Earth
Armor is a good one for Sten. The GlassDR is a nice weapon for Katt,
but it's easier to get in the Fog Valley.
 - I get one drop from the Cancers before HighFort. If it's a Love
 Bracelet, then I'm done here. If it's an Earth Armor, I'll come back
 after HighFort. Then, if I don't get the bracelet within a few drops,
 I'll just come back with Sweh.

						\\\ Thieves' Tomb ||
Lost & Found: ElmoreSD / DemonDR (Sheef \ 1), HolySH (Anubus \ 1)
- You'll find it easier to survive here than out in the desert, as
the enemies are mostly undead, so you can easily do double damage
with every character (the enemies also have less HP and DFP). You can
survive even a little below Lv30, but I'd recommend closer to Lv35.
You should also get Spar first, so Ryuu can have the Life Armor. It
helps a lot. You'll still likely get some game overs, but it's not a
big deal.
- You're likely looking at enemies doing 50 pod per hit, double with
criticals (less for Ryuu). You'll mostly be fighting Undead Thieves
and Anubis Mummies. The former have a high critical hit rate, and the
latter can cast Freeze (100 pod).
- Although you can't actually explore the dungeon yet, there's a very
good reason we're here, and that is the Demon Dagger, Sten's ultimate
weapon. So, if you're using Sten, you might as well get it now. You
won't even need Sweh, as Thieves are fairly common.
- The ElmoreSD (usable by Ryu and Jean) is the strongest Holy-elemental
weapon you can find at this point in the game.
- And let's not forget the Holy Shield, the third strongest shield in
the game, which can be used by everyone except Rand. It's the strongest
shield for Nina, Bleu and Spar. You can buy these later in the game,
but I suggest you get at least one of them now (for Katt).

						\\\ Giant's Island ||
Lost & Found: Extract / Van.Ext (A.Sludge, Gonghead b),
 Charm / ShinyBR (Chorking \ 3), SacredSH / ArmyGL (K.Sludge \ 3)
- Better deposit all your money into the bank before coming here. If
you have too much trouble with the enemies, just come back a little
later. Lv40 should be good.
- Rounding up the world tour is the infamous Giant's Island (or whatever
you want to call it), found by sailing south from Guntz. Let's have a
look at the four enemies you can find here, and how to deal with them:
1. Chorking | 25 HP
 - Use Chopchop. If you don't have that, use a Fire Ring (you know,
 as an item). Bring some Antidotes to counter Poison Breath.
 - Your second source for Shiny Bracelets.
2. Gonghead | 1000 HP
 - Likes to use Cure 4 but only has enough AP to cast it twice.
3. A.Sludge | 900 HP
 - These guys have absolutely no resistance to Death (the other ones
 are immune)(might still fail at lower levels), so cast that if you
 can. When needed, you can also use the DemonSH to drain their AP.
 They're really not that hard to beat up either, and I always go with
 melee whenever Jean's refilling his AP.
4. K.Sludge | 1000 HP
 - The encounter has three of them by default, The encounter chance is
 probably 1/32.
 - They only have two moves: their normal attack and Death, which has
 a 100% hit rate (unless you're wearing a certain elusive accessory).
 The odds of Death being cast is low at first, but increase as their
 HP goes down. Get them below 500 HP with other attacks before you hit
 them with a Dragon spell.
 - The Sacred Shield is pretty much the best body armor in the game.
 Aside from boasting very high DFP, it also gives you a 25% chance of
 nullifying magical damage (the SilverHT and DreamBR have the same
 ability). It can be equipped by Ryu, Jean, Sten and Bow.
 - Using Sweh, you can typically get a Gummy Ou encounter in about 5
 minutes.

- None of the enemies here have elemental affinities, so that's one
thing you don't have to worry about.
- Sell, drop, or use the Extracts, but whatever you do, don't start
hoarding up on them, as Roast is so much more space-efficient.
- Hoarding up on some Van.Ext, on the other hand, is a pretty good
idea, especially if you don't have Bow or Rand in your standard party.
In any case, don't let them fill up your inventory. If your inventory
is full, enemies won't drop anything.
- This is the place where you'll want to build up to Lv99 (assuming
you're a bad enough dude to do so). You can get one level in about 20
minutes. You should of course do it after getting all the rare drops
you want. The SacredSH is indeed one of them, but I wouldn't bother
trying to get those without Sweh.

Fish: LoveBR					\\\ Fishing Spot ||
- This one's on Giant's Island.
- Love Bracelet gives you regen, which can keep you healed up quite well.
Until you get more of them, you can just pass along this one as needed.

- As soon as you have the money, you should start cooking stat-boost
items. If you're already at Lv50, you can go ahead and max out anything
you want. If not, you should take the upcoming stat gains at least up
until Lv50 into consideration (your stat gains are very minimal after
Lv50). Hopefully, you've already decided on your final party.
- No need to max everything out. Here's what I recommend:
 × Str: Max (255).
 × Stm: At least 200.
 × Agi: 250. Agility maxes out at 511, but few enemies have more than 200 Agi.
 × Luck: Max.
 × Wisdom: 207.
 × Guts: Pass.

- Maxing your Agility not only has few benefits, but it also makes it
a little harder to run away from enemies (except the super fast ones).
This is likely due to a programming error.
- In any case, start by depositing all your items, then fill your
inventory with the stuff you can buy at Guntz depending on which stat
boost items you want to create. See the recipes below.
 × Stamina's a little tricky, as the recipe involves Tuna, so if you
 didn't sign up Daiye, you're out of luck (and I *did* tell you to pick
 him up). Plus, you have to manage the quantities so as to ensure a
 smooth cooking process. I myself went with 39 F.Spice + 78 Tunas
 (8 × 9 + 6).
- By no means do you need to get all of this done right now. If you can
at least take care of your Strength (you'll need about 100k or so),
that's good enough for now.

 Strength  | PwrFood    | 3× ShaveIce  (300 Z)
 Stamina   | Stamina    | F.Spice + 2× Tuna  (700 Z)
 Agility   | Dinker     | 2× Frizbee  (200 Z)
 Luck      | LuckCndy   | mix (eg. F.Spice + ShaveIce)  (200 Z)
 Wisdom    | MisoSoup   | 2× F.Spice  (200 Z)
 Guts      | GutsBL     | 2× ShaveIce  (200 Z)

						\\\ Carnivale ||
- Returning to the main quest.
- You'll find the carnival near Tunlan.
- Speak to the chief and agree to find an Uparupa for him.
- In case you're wondering, yes, it's possible to give him the money
instead. However, the result would be the same, so you'd just be throwing
away 900 000 Z. I don't need to tell you what a bad idea that is.

Items (nc): 5x OwlFruit (Artifact)		\\\ OwlWoods ||
Boss(es): Algernon, Danielle & Suiki
- This place is near the hunting lodge, west of Windia, remember?

[Boss]
- 1549 HP, 1980 Exp, 1200 Z
- Easily the hardest boss in the game. Danielle will constantly cast
Cure 2 (on random targets), while Suiki bombs you with Thunder (~35 pod).
These two only have 100 HP, but they're revived so quickly, attacking
them is a waste of time. Al itself mostly just uses its normal attack
(which is nothing to worry about), but occasionally uses Cold Breath
(~40 pod). Bring plenty of HelpBLs.
- It's possible to skip this boss entirely if you manage to capture
an Uparupa with the one fruit you can buy at the cave.

						\\\ UpaCave ||
Items: QuartrST (Artifact), Gold, OceanRB (Unique), BusterSD, CharmSH
Items (nc): OwlFruit (Artifact) - 1000 Z, Uparupa (Special)
Lost & Found: MystryHT (Aruban)
Bosses: Uparupa ×n
- This place is next to the bridge south of Coursair.
- Only two of the eight Uparupas are "real" (such as the last one on
the top level). If you fight the wrong one, it'll simply disappear.
- If you run out of Owl Fruits, you'll have to run back to the Owl
Woods to get more.

[Boss]
- 520 HP, 1200 Exp, 800 Z, W:T, R:F
- Counterattack only. Chopchop and Jab can't be countered.

- Once you catch a real one, choose to let it go, and you'll get a
Buster Sword and a Charm Shield. The Charm Shield will appear once
you refresh the area and will replace the Buster Sword even if you
don't pick it up.

PC: Spar Lv12					\\\ Carnival ||
Default (Spar): WacWP (Unique), Bum'sCL, RistBand, Bandana
Boss: M.C.Tusk

[Boss]
- 1520 HP, 2700 Exp, 1300 Z, W:F, R:I
 |
[PC: Spar]

- Spar's field ability allows you to walk through forests.
- The effect of Spar's special skill, Ntre, depends on the terrain.
- Strangely enough, although Spar starts off with a RistBand, he can't
actually equip one.

						\\\ Gate Region ||
Lost & Found: PwrFood / MamothCL (Mamot \ 1),
 DemonDR / ElmoreSD (Kimaira \ 2), IronSH / StarSH (Cyclops)
- You won't be able to handle the enemies well until you're closer to
Lv50, but you should probably try and get the fishing spot to appear
once you're about Lv30. You can take out G.Idols with a dragon spell
and you can probably just beat up Marble Golems. The Mamots have 736
HP, so a dragon spell alone won't cut it. If there's only one, you
should be able to finish it off. You can also use Death. If there's
two of them, you might want to try and run away. You certainly want
to run away from the Chimera. So, yeah, you need to get fairly lucky,
but the armor is well worth it.
- Also, if you haven't fished a treasure chest before, go practice with
the one near TownShip. Any input when Ryu is pulling the chest up will
be ignored, so you need to get a hang of the rhythm. If you fail too
many times, the chest will end up too close to you, and you can't really
hook it anymore.
- Yet another high profile rare drop: the MamothCL, Rand's best armor.
If you're using Rand, you definitely want to get it. It can wait until
you get Sweh, though.

Fish: LifeAR (Unique)				\\\ Fishing Spot ||
- This is the one that appears a little west from Gate. There are no
fish here, just a treasure chest that contains the Life Armor, the
strongest armor in the game (Ryu, Jean, Sten). In addition to high
defense, it also grants the wearer regeneration (1 HP per step). It's
a little heavy, though.

- Put Spar in the lead and pay a visit to the Elder Tree in the Sea
of Trees on the western continent.
- Battle theme 2
- Next, head to Tunlan and talk to the guy near the beginning.

Party Level: 35-50

Lost & Found: DreamBR (Artifact) (Soulflik \ 2), SkullBR (Pharaoh, Ralooba \2)
Bosses: Trubo (Torubo), Portal, Shupkay (Shupukay)

- In case you haven't been here before, you can find the castle on the
outskirts of the desert southeast from TownShip.
- You will no longer have access to this area once you complete the
events here.
- Sten is mandatory here plus he has to go solo for a while, so if
you haven't been using him at all, you might want to warm him up first.
- Also keep in mind, you won't be able to change any of your party
members, and you'll be stuck in the castle until you finish all the events.
- Make your way to the throne room, and you'll soon find yourself in
control of Sten, while the rest of your party is unavailable.
- The first three items are downstairs from where Sten begins. You can't
get those later (not that they're anything important).
- Although you can't leave the castle, you'll have access to basic
town services for a while. Make sure you're thoroughly prepared before
you challenge Trubo (Holy weapons, enough free space for treasure).

[Boss: Torubo]
- 110 HP, 1750 Exp, 1000 Z
- Simply defend during the first phase (or heal if needed), as you
can't win. It ends after 3 rounds.
- In the second phase (when the bridge is falling), you have 4 rounds
to kill him.

- You'll find a healing spring (first of two) and a save point at the
bottom of the eastern tower, but you can't get back to the item shop
or storage since the bridge is out.
- The next six items are found in Sten's solo section. After passing
behind the throne room, there are three paths. The left and right ones
have treasure. Next, there are two paths. The left one has treasure.
- After being reunited with your three other characters, you can finally
start encountering Soulflickers (common in the areas after the Portal).
These guys drop the elusive Dream Bracelet, which gives you magic evade.
There's one of these in the final dungeon, but aside from that, this
is your only chance to actually get more of them. I get one myself (for
Katt). Rand is the only character who can only get magic evade off a
DreamBR. If you want him to get magic evade before the final dungeon,
your only choice is to score one here. Then again, with his HP, he doesn't
really need it as much as, say, Katt or Nina.
- The SkullBR makes the wearer slightly more susceptible to Death.
- Eventually, you'll find a room with three teleporters
 × The left one will take you back to the second healing spring (near
 the MoonMask).
 × The right one is the emergency exit. Although you still can't leave
 the castle, you can use it to return to the save point or revisit Sten's
 solo section in case you missed any items. When you want back, go
 examine the switch in the throne room.
 × Both the left and right teleporters are one-way only.
 × The middle one will take you to the Portal.

[Boss: Portal]
- 1530 HP, 2400 Exp, 1250 Z
- Fire Breath: 50 pod to all.
- Healed by spells.

- Don't miss the last two chests! (one of which has the Collar)
- One more time: Hang around the areas after the Portal, so you can
score a DreamBR.

interesting yet, though.

						\\\ Tunlan ||
- Go talk to the witch-like character to learn about the queen, then
head for Maori Island.

						\\\ Mt. Maori ||
- Talk to Gedd with either Katt or Nina. After he joins, return to Tunlan.

Item (nc): Letter (Special, Temp)		\\\ Tunlan ||
- Go check on the queen.

Item: Mirror (Unique, Temp)			\\\ Mt. Maori ||
Item (nc): Mushroom (Special, Temp)
- Talk to Gedd's assistant and climb up to get some mushrooms.
- Once you find the right one, the assistant will let you take the Mirror.

Item (nc): T.Pillow (Special)			\\\ Tunlan ||
- Gedd will now shrink you and send you inside the queen's body.
Your objective is to fight demons in each area until the encounter
rate drops to zero.
- Once you're done, go pick up the Therapy Pillow at the vault.

- Now, you're ready to enter Gandaroof's mind. Keep in mind, Spar
will be a mandatory party member during this event. Also, bring
some money with you.
- Once inside, you'll find three slightly different versions of the
same town.
- You will not have access to any of these areas once you complete
the events here.

- This is your first of only two limited opportunities to buy a ChuckDR.
- This is your only opportunity to buy a Double Whip (Spar's third best
weapon). You'll also find one in a dungeon later in the game.

						\\\ Inheart (Adult) ||
- Nothing here, really.

						\\\ Inheart (Child) ||
- This is where Barose is hanging out. You can sign him up to house #4
if you didn't get Kalashnikov.
- If you need to get out, talk to the kid in the item shop.
- Talk to the kid in the southeast corner, and the elderly Inheart
will be replaced by the Memory Tower.

						\\\ Memory ||
Items: AutoBW (Unique), EarthAR, MisoSoup, 1000 Z, HeroBT, BlndedML
Boss: Aruhamel (Aruhameru)
- Your vision will be slightly obstructed (you can see far, but you
can't see close).
- Talk to the other old man on the 1st floor, and pay him 100 Z twice
to get the first two chests.
- The third chest is on the 3rd floor (the guy on the 2nd floor will
warp you to the 4th floor).
- The last three chests are on the 5th floor.

[Boss]
- 1600 HP, 3200 Exp, 1000 Z

- Return to the kiddy Inheart, and have the boy in the item shop throw
you out.
- Next, head south to Fog Valley. Try to pass through or talk to the
guy there (if you've already done that at some point earlier, you don't
have to do it again), then head to the Sky Tower just north of Whale Cape.

- You have 3 minutes before you run out of oxygen. When that happens,
it's game over. During battle, however, it takes 5 seconds for one
"second" to pass. The timer halts when in the menu. Some areas are
not submerged.
- I'm pretty sure there are no chests hidden in the seaweed.
- Once you have Spoo(r), you not only can pass through Fog Valley,
but also have access to Sten's Djinni form. This form has the special
ability Sweh, which ends the current battle and rolls another one.
 × To recap, Sweh is useful when trying to get: ShinyBR, LoveBR, GlassDR,
 MamothCL, SacredSH (plus more to come).

						\\\ FogValy ||
Lost & Found: ThornWP / GlassDR (B.Ogre \ 2), IronSH / StarSH (Cyclops)
- This is where I get the GlassDR (unless I got lucky and already
got it at the desert).

Maniro G:					\\\ Fishing Spot ||
 BraveAR	10 000 Z (Ryu, Katt, Jean, Sten, Bow)
 MedusaSH	50 000 Z (Ryu, Jean, Sten, Bow, Rand)
 SpiritRB	  7500 Z
 ThndrGL	  9000 Z

- This one's on an island SW of CotLnd. However, due to the way the
map sections are laid out, the spot will never appear when you're
actually *on* the island. Instead, stay on the mainland, east of the
island. Once you know where the fishing spot is, re-trigger it while
you're directly south of it. This way you're as close to it as possible,
at the very edge of the map section. Anyway, once the fish appears,
have Jean morph, and start moving along the coastline. Once you hit the
two little mountains, unmorph so you can walk past the little gap, then
morph back and hope for the best. Using Ryu's Smoke spell should help.
- Either way, you'll be needing a fair amount of cash here. The MedusaSH
is the strongest shield in the game, so better get those for your
standard PCs (also available through other sources later in the game).
Brave Armor is good, but you can soon buy a slightly better one.
- 3-5 Medusa Shields + 1-2 Brave Armor (Katt, Sten) = 160 000+ Z

Lost & Found: PwrFood / MamothCL (Mamot \ 1)	\\\ Bando Region ||
- Right, so, the Mamots are here too. As I already said, if you're
using Rand in your standard party, you *definitely* want the MamothCL.
When fighting them, use proper elemental weapons and / or Death. There
are Ganets here, but they're not common, so they won't slow you down
much. You could also fight Mamots in the Gate region, but you can't
rest there, so this place is preferred.

Items (nc): HelpBL, Gold, Plate (Unique)	\\\ FarmTown ||
Boss: S.Golem B
- I choose not to pick up the Plate, as I don't want to waste a storage
slot for it.
- You'll need Rand during a couple of events here. He also has to take
care of a fixed encounter on his own, so better level him up a little
if you haven't been using him.
- Anyway, have Rand in your party, and go visit Daisy. She'll ask you
to clean up the backyard.
- Note that one of the rocks will turn out to be the S.Golem, and that
guy will actually fight back a little (might as well call it a boss).

[Boss]
- 1600 HP, 1624 Exp, 415 Z, W:I, R:F

- Go check back with Rand's mom once you're done (Rand has to be in the
lead). After that, head to Namanda Temple. You won't need Rand there,
but he still has one thing to do once you get back.

Item (nc): Tolen (Artifact)			\\\ Namanda Temple ||
Lost & Found: Extract / TigerSD (Barucuda \ 2), Gold (Mimic, P.Eater)
Special: Solo trigger
- A good place to get Coins.
- You can pick up the Tiger Sword here (you'll need Sweh, once again).
While it's probably weaker than what you're currently using (Goblin
Sword), you can use it to cast Cure 2 in battle, which is pretty neat.
It's easier to get in the Sky Cave, though.
- ATTENTION!
- You need to donate at least 20 times in order to get the Earth Shaman,
Solo. She's the only Shaman you can miss permanently.

Boss: Paladin					\\\ FarmTown ||
- You *did* donate more than 2000 Z to Namanda, didn't you?
- Go talk to the soldier at Daisy's field with Rand in the lead, and
he'll engage in a one-on-one battle with him. The other characters
can't help here, and if you die, you *will* get a game over. If you
haven't used him at all, you'll need to level him up a little. Lv19
is barely enough. Have him borrow a MedusaSH from someone and get some
ShaveIce (you'll need 6). You can only afford to attack when you're
at max HP, so use Roast to heal yourself.
- Overworld theme 3

Special: Boombada				\\\ Namanda ||
- Help the guy out with his bells, and he'll teach you the secret spell
Boombada. Your inputs are not supposed to overlap with his bells. As
such, the second part is the hardest (A_B_A__). If it's giving you too
much trouble, that's okay. You can manage without it.

   -A-B-- A_B_A__ B___B _-AB _-_-AA

- Boombada: 20 AP, halves targets' HP (may miss). (Katt was my choice
here)

Shop:						\\\ TownShip ||
 ThndrST	7800 Z (Artifact)
 ChuckDR	5800 Z (Artifact)
 PierceRP	4600 Z

- Baretta's second last set of wares is now available.
- This is the only time in the game you have the opportunity to buy
a Thunder Staff.
- If you didn't buy a ChuckDR in the Dream, this is your last chance
to ever get one.
- If you didn't get Kalashnikov (house #4), this is your only chance
to ever buy a PierceRP.

						\\\ WindiaFt ||
Items (nc): Tolen (Artifact), HelpBL, Bum'sCL (Artifact), MoonDrop
Tenant: Yozo (House #5)
- Talk to the soldier at the front gate with Nina, and you should be
able to get inside.
- Find Youzou.
- Go talk to the king, then head for the basement.

						\\\ SkyCave ||
Items: StormRG (Unique), WindRB (Unique), WindBR (Unique)
Item (nc): MarkWing (Special, Temp)
Lost & Found: Extract / TigerSD (Barucuda \ 2), Charm / ShinyBR (Gargoyle \ 2)
Boss: Guardian
- You will no longer have access to this area once you complete the
events in the castle.
- You can explore most of the dungeon with any party, but you won't
be able to finish it without Nina.
- Technically, the first chest is in the castle, but you have to go
through the basement to get it.
- The Barucudas are common here, especially in the area with the statue
that takes you to Nina's solo section. There are no Gargoyles there,
though, so I'd recommend the earlier areas (I get at least one ShinyBR
here myself).
- If you die in Nina's solo section (highly likely if she doesn't have
Typhoon (Lv22)), you'll end up back at the first statue. This doesn't
count as a game over, so you won't lose any money. Nina is fully healed
whenever you go in. Make sure you get the two chests before you proceed
to the boss.

[Boss]
- x HP (same as Nina), 2400 Exp, 700 Z
- Lv19 is, once again, barely enough.

						\\\ WindiaFt ||
Items: Van.Ext, SilverHT, MoonDrop
- Return to the king with the Mark of the Wing. Once you're in control
of Nina again, head for the ceremonial tower.
- You've finally gained the ability to fly (allowing you to obtain a
couple of more delicious magic items). Just keep in mind that only Nina
can call the Great Bird.
- The Silver Helmet is the best helmet for Katt, Nina, Bleu, and Spar.
The Sun Mask may be 3 points higher in Defense, but the SilverHT also
grants partial immunity to spells. Most useful considering none of these
characters can wear the SacredSH (plus then you can replace the DreamBR).
Of course, SunMasks are a little easier to come by.

Special: mAP +16				\\\ TownShip ||
- Talk to Yozo 57 times, and he'll offer to boost the AP of one
character by 16 points. Again, I chose Katt.

Item (nc): CharmRod (Unique)			\\\ Shrine ||
- Loot the inn near St. Eva's Church (stay away from the church itself
for now though) to find the Charm Rod, the best rod in the game. This
one can easily reel in all those underwater treasure chests.

Fish: EmpireSD (Unique)				\\\ Fishing Spot ||
- This one's east of TownShip and requires Mina's flying abilities.
- The Emperor's Sword is, indeed, the most powerful weapon in the game,
with an ATP of 160 (bringing you to a total of 415). You can also use
it during battle to cast S.Boom. Use that to take out groups of Ganets.

Shop:						\\\ Island Armory ||
 DamageSD	12 000 Z	WisdomRB	  8200 Z
 EmblemRP	12 000 Z	MotherRB	28 000 Z
 AmberRG	11 000 Z	SunMask		  6800 Z
 BraveAR	10 000 Z	HolySH		18 000 Z

- East of St. Eva's Church, you'll find an island with some palm trees
and a single building that happens to be one of the greatest armories
in the game. Bring some cash with you.
- The Amber Ring is the second strongest ring in the game. You'll need
at least one of these, as the strongest ring is unique.
- The Wisdom Robe is fairly light,
- I grabbed two MotherRBs; one for Nina and one for Bleu (more if I
didn't get lucky with the Sacred Shields). Spar would be getting one
eventually as well (you can find one in the final dungeon). It's the
strongest armor he can wear.
- I got two Sun Masks for Ryu and Sten. Jean would get the one found
in the Thieves' Tomb.
- You might already have a bunch of Holy Shields, but, yeah, either
way, you'll want at least three of them (for Nina, Bleu and Spar). Katt
should also use one until you manage to score an ArmyGL (which you may
already have).
- AmberRG, WisdomRB, 2 MotherRBs, 2 SunMasks = 78 900 Z

Maniro H:					\\\ Fishing Spot ||
 WorthRG	  9500 Z
 SlicerDR	20 000 Z

- This one's on the island northwest of Guntz, but you have to stay on
the very eastern end of the island (the last 3 horizontal tiles).
- I suggest you buy 4 Waasu Rings.
- If you're using Sten in your standard party but still haven't gotten
the DemonDR, you can just go with the Slicer instead, as it's still
powerful enough to get his ATP to max when using Djinni.

Fish: Tolen (Artifact)				\\\ Fishing Spot ||
- On the north side of the Show Cave, west of Gate. This one doesn't
require flight, but I decided not to list it earlier.

Fish: Tolen (Artifact)				\\\ Fishing Spot ||
- This one's on the island south of TownShip.

						\\\ N.Rider Island ||
Lost & Found: MedusaSH / NoTwinRP (N.Rider \ 3)
- You can get Jean's ultimate weapon, Notung, on the island where the
armory is. Even if you don't use Jean, you might still want to pick it
up for Ryu, as it's the strongest Holy-elemental weapon in the game.
- N.Riders are arguably more dangerous than King Sludges. They have
higher ATP and DFP, and can heavily damage your entire party with Hail,
Fireball and Typhoon (~100 pod to all). If there's only one of them,
you don't have too much to worry about, but if there are two, you'll
want to use a dragon spell and maybe try to hit them with Boombada
(tends to works).

Party Level: 50-75

Items (nc): Tolen (Artifact), WiseBL		\\\ Evrai ||
- You'll have to go through a short dungeon here (for now), so if Nina
isn't part of your standard party, don't forget to drop her off at the
inn first.
- Talk to the NPC in the building with two entrances, then try to leave to
find that you're stuck. Go talk to the NPC again and jump into the toilet.

						\\\ JackDoor ||
- You will no longer have access to this dungeon once you complete the
Grand Church.
- If you jump into the hole at the beginning, you'll land almost right
next to the exit.

Item (nc): Tolen (Artifact)			\\\ Shrine ||
- Loot the cabinet as soon as you emerge. You'll find yourself at the
inn near the church.
- If you try to enter Evrai again, you'll notice that you can't.

						\\\ CotLnd ||
- Go have a chat with Tiga (Katt required) to find out your next destination.

						\\\ ThvsTomd [sic] ||
Items: DoubleWP (Artifact), BananaDR (Unique), ThndrGL, SunMask, KramerBR
Items (nc): StarrSD (blue tiles), Evidence (Special, Temp)
- If you want the elusive Starbringer, just keep doing battles on a blue face.
- Examine the empty chest at the end to reach the chest with the Evidence.

						\\\ CotLnd ||
- Check back with Tiga, but do note that Katt will go MIA for a while
once you do. If you end up fighting Tiga, note that you can't win.

						\\\ Bando Church ||
Items: SnakeST (Unique), StarSH, CrmsnCL, 1000 Z, EvraiRD (Special, Temp)
Lost & Found: DemonDR / ElmoreSD (D.Spirit), SkullBR / CrsntSD (Lyverma \ 3)
Shaman: Seny (Holy)
Boss: Necroman
- Lots of Spirits here, so better whip out your Holy weapons.
- You'll soon find two arrow panels that you can use to move the door
and thus access different rooms. To push the door beyond room 5, you
need to stand on the right arrow panel for 3 minutes and 21 seconds
(2:48 in NTSC). If you don't feel like fighting that many battles
here, check the secret areas after the boss, when the encounters are
temporarily disabled. Do note, however, that the panels stop working
once you leave (but you can still get Seini later, though).
  1. Nothing              6. Fixed encounter
  2. Snake Staff          7. Star Shield
  3. Cell                 8. Crimson Garb

- Watch out for Rotting (in case you're not immune). He's also got Death.

 RainbwRB (Unique), CrmsnCL
Lost & Found: Biscuit / SlicerDR (Assassin)
Special: G.Drgn
Bosses: Ray, Oldman & 3× Guardeyes
- You will no longer have access to this area once you complete the
events here.
- Go talk to Tiga in Claris's house to begin the infiltration.
- The monk at the gate will ask you what Eva's real name is. If you
get it wrong, you'll have to beat him up.
- Katt will rejoin the party after the initial event inside the church.
This is the point where Seini becomes available if you didn't find the
secret areas in Bando.

[Boss]
- The battle ends once Ryu uses G.Drgn (learnt after dealing some damage).

- G.Drgn deals 999 pod to all enemies.
- This is the point where Beretta's last set of wares becomes available.
- You'll need Rand's field ability to take down a couple of walls after
finding Daisy. Solo becomes available after taking down the second one.
- After taking out the two Archers, jump down from where the first
Archer was to reach the SkullBR. This takes you all the way back to the
beginning, so feel free to leave (you won't need Rand anymore). While
you're at it, go pick up Solo (and Seny) and get some gear from Beretta
(listed below).

[Boss]
- DO NOT ATTACK THE OLD MAN if you want the best ending (and the flying
TownShip). I usually don't get it myself. However, even if you save the
old man, you still need to trigger the scene where TownShip gains the
ability to fly to get the best ending. As such, you could save the old
man, but not trigger the flying TownShip scene, and thus still have both
endings available.
- There are four targets:

     A   C        A: 538 HP, 504 AP, W:F, R:I        D: 312 HP
       D          B: 538 HP,  64 AP, W:I, R:F
       B          C: 538 HP, 504 AP

- Each eye only has one spell it'll use:
 - A: Freeze (~100 pod) (10 AP)
 - B: Flame (~50 pod \ all) (12 AP)
 - C: Cure 3 (heal 120 HP \ all) (20 AP)
- If low on AP, the eyes will drain AP from Ganer. This is considered
Ganer's action, so the eye still gets to act that round.
- The eyes may rarely defend.
- The machine has an increasing probability to force Ganer to cast a
spell on you. This can only happen when all four targets are alive.
Whenever Ganer casts a spell, the eyes don't get to act. He can cast
Hail (~100), Fireball (~120) and Bolt-X (~180).
- It's easy to hit Ganer unintentionally due to automatic target switching.
If you accidentally kill him, there's no need to reset. Just get a game
over instead (you can just attack your own characters if the eyes aren't
doing it). You should kill one or two of the eyes before that, as this
allows you to see their health bars the next time you fight them. A and
C are considered the same type of enemy (despite their differences), so
killing one of them gives you both of their health bars.

 KaiserKN	25 000 Z	HolySH		18 000 Z
 AmberRG	11 000 Z	ShinyHT		16 000 Z

- Baretta's last set of wares is quite impressive. The Shiny Helmet
is the strongest headwear for Jean, Sten and Bow, the Kaiser Knuckle
is Rand's ultimate weapon, and the Death Bow is Bow's ultimate weapon
(kind of).
 × I bought only one ShinyHT, and that was for Bow. Sten would get a
 free one soon, and Ryu and Jean would receive updates not long after
 that as well.
 × The BreakSD is Ryu's strongest non-elemental weapon, but there's
 really no need for it. Only Spirits resist Thunder, and you should
 use a Holy-elemental weapon for those.
 × The Hero Armor is the strongest armor you can buy (usable by Ryu,
 Jean and Sten). If you've failed to procure any Sacred Shields, you
 may want to grab one of those.
- ShinyHT, KaiserKN, DeathBW = 64 000 Z.
- If you saved Ganer and told Eichichi about the machine under your
town, head into the well and your town will be able to fly. It's quite
slow, though, and it's too big to land on the area where the Empire
Sword is, but it's still something (especially since you lose the
ability to call Mina soon).

Shaman: (Seny) (Holy)				\\\ Bando ||
- Revisit Bando for Seny (if you missed her the first time around).

Shaman: Solo (Earth)				\\\ FarmTown ||
- Pick up Solo at Daisy's backyard. Solo is the best shaman for Rand
and Spar. The Sproutling form's Bud allows Spar to deal great damage
(albeit uncontrollably and with a slight delay).

- WARNING: You will lose the ability to fly on the Great Bird once you
trigger the next event at Gate! If you saved Ganer and got TownShip
to fly, this isn't that big of a deal (assuming you got the EmpireSD).
However, if you killed him, make *absolutely* sure you have nothing
left to do in the areas that require the ability to fly. Here's a recap
just in case:
 × Evrai island (CharmRod)
 × Fishing spot east of TownShip (EmpireSD)
 × Island armory / N.Rider Island
 × Maniro H

Shaman: Shin (Devil)				\\\ Gate ||
Lost & Found: SilverHT / WisdomRB (Babaruku \ 5)
Boss: Babaruku / Habaruku
- When you're ready, go talk to Father Hulk at the dragon.
- Explore the little areas of the final dungeon available to you now
to find the last remaining shaman, Shin.
- At this point, you're supposed to go chasing after Patty (CotLnd,
WildCat, ThvsTomd, TownShip), but it's not strictly necessary to talk
to all the NPCs who give you clues on her whereabouts. Simply talking
to the first one at CotLnd should be enough. After that, you'll find
her on the second floor at Niro's place.
- After locating Patty, return to Hulk, but make sure you save your
game first. (Well, actually, the game lets you walk away and leave
right before you fight Babaruku.)

[Boss]
- 2500 HP, 3800 Exp, 5000 Z
- He can cast the most powerful spells, including Bolt-X, but he tends
to go for something harmless like Drain. Better bring some Van.Ext just
in case, though.
- I recommend you get your second SilverHT here, as Habaruku has a
decent enough chance of dropping one.

- After the battle, you're looking at a fairly important dialog option.
If you choose 'Wait,' you'll get the bad ending. Might as well check
it out. However, in order to receive closure...

Bosses: Barubary, Deathevn

- You probably can't get all the items in a single trip. I need 2 myself.
- All the items up to the Final Knuckle are found in "upper" Infinity.
- You'll have plenty of use for your Holy weapons, especially in upper
Infinity.
- About halfway through, you'll reach Dologany. This is where you'll
find the first save point (there are two more in lower Infinity). You
can also rest and shop, but you don't have access to your storage.
- Before you go learn Anfini in the shrine below Dologany, I suggest
you pick up a Meow Staff. I do it in the area where you find the RiotST.
- When you get Anfini, your soul unions will be undone.
- If you use Exit in lower Infinity, you'll be taken to the save point
in Dologany.
- There are two paths you can take in the final area. You should take
the southern ladder first and get the two items on that path (Dragon
Helm and Holy Shield), then return to B1 and take the northern path.
- If you still need SilverHTs, you can encounter Magic Masters in pairs
in most areas in lower Infinity.
- Once you reach an area that's completely dark, you're about to encounter
Barubary. Do not proceed without a good supply (~10) of Van.Ext (if you're
not using Bow or Rand).

[Boss]
- 5000 HP, 4000 Exp, 5000 Z
- At first you'll fight him with your full party. However, the battle
ends after inflicting some damage. You then have the choice of fighting
him with Ryu alone (not recommended).
- Bolt X: ~130-180. Fire Breath / Cold Breath: ~100.
- Even his normal attack hits all your characters, so expect heavy
damage every turn.

- In the next area, you'll find the final save point. The final boss
is just around the corner (straight north after using the teleporter).
- The little rooms you can reach from the area with the King's Helmet
are the only places in the game where you can encounter Pendragon and
Zodiac (not in the same rooms, though). They have a low encounter rate
and the items have low drop rates. I suggest you forget about them.
- Return to the area where you fought Barubary with Katt and Sten in
their basic forms. Look for a rock you can smash on the right side.
After taking care of that, you'll have to cross a gap with Sten in
order to reach the Life Bracelet.

[Boss]
- 10 000 HP
- You'll have to use Anfini in order to end the first phase.
- ColdBrth: ~100 pod \all
- One of his attacks drains 60 HP and 25% of cAP from all your characters.
- Bone Laser: ~110 pod \all
- Again, bring a good amount of Van.Ext for healing.
