  1. Breath of Fire II
  2.  
  3. Platform: Snes
  4. Released (d.m.y):
  5. 02.12.1994 (Japan)
  6. 12.1995 (NA)
  7. 25.04.1996 (PAL)
  8.  
  9. Based on: PAL-version (SNSP-AF2P-EUR)
  10.

  12.  
  13. - The game does not show you your play time, although it does track it.
  14. Consider tracking it manually or, if you're on emulator, checking it in
  15. the RAM.
  16. - Check the BoF2 guide by Ben Siron for information on the mechanics of
  17. the game. Do note, however, that it's got numerous typos in the numbers.
  18. Over the years, corrections have been made and additional information
  19. 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. Strength | Base ATP
  27. Stamina | Base DFP
  28. Agility | Base Vigor, chance to flee
  29. Wisdom | Magical damage and defense, debuff hit rate / resistance
  30. Luck | Chance to flee, Cond. changes
  31. Guts | Special abilities
  32. 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 has
  37. 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 (Poor / OK / Good / Super) that changes every 64 points.
  40. Condition increases (or possibly decreases) as you spend time on the
  41. field (with Luck playing a minor role as well).
  42. - Super Condition gives you a base crit rate of 37,5%, a counterattack
  43. 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.

  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 | Cond 0
  106.  
  107. - Enemies generally inflict ailments using either a single target or a
  108. multi-target attack. The single target one also deals damage, while the
  109. multi-target one does not. Both have what seems like a 50% success rate.
  110. - Many spells produce visual effects that you shouldn't look at.
  111. - The game gives you the option of turning the music off (one of the
  112. very few RPGs on the Snes that lets you do that). While I'm certainly
  113. very fond of the soundtrack, I do turn the music off at times (such as
  114. in SimaFort, when cooking and possibly when grinding).
  115. - Save data is actually compatible between the different Snes versions
  116. of the game, although going between English and Japanese will mess up
  117. the character names. I don't know if the messed up names might actually
  118. cause some issues somewhere. I haven't done a full playthrough like that.

  174. - You can rest for free in your apartment on the second floor of the
  175. building near the front gate (not the inn).
  176. - You can't explore the northern part of the town at this time.
  177. - Some buildings are locked at night, and there are also fewer NPCs
  178. around at night. Aside from that, the day and night cycle only really
  179. has a cosmetic effect.
  180. - You can exit the menu instantly by pressing X.
  181. - Don't forget to save your game at the dragon god statue.
  182. - Use L and R to switch the lead character on the field.
  183.  
  184. - Don't forget to make use of the handy Auto-Battle command.
  185. - Using L and R during battle gives you the Switch and Defend commands.
  186. - You should buy a Bronze Sword and a SteelAR (370 Z).
  187. - I recommend against updating Bow's equipment. He'll soon end up MIA
  188. and will stay that way for quite a long time.
  189. - Ryu's special skill, Guts, allows him to heal some of his HP.
  190. - Bow's default special skill, Shot, has him attempting an instant kill
  191. (success rate goes down for higher level enemies). His field ability is
  192. hunting.
  193. - Press Select on the overworld to view the world map. It employs map
  194. section-based fog.
  195. - The encounter rate in the HomeTown map section drops from high to low
  196. once Ryuu hits Lv5. The neighboring map sections (that have the same
  197. encounters) will still have a medium encounter rate at that point, and
  198. it doesn't drop until you hit Lv8.
  199. - After every battle on the overworld, there's a chance that a fishing
  200. spot or hunting spot will become available. Fishing spots have fixed
  201. locations, whereas hunting spots appear in a random tile. After getting
  202. a kill while hunting, pick up the item as quickly as possible or the
  203. item will degrade in quality or even disappear. When an animal is in
  204. a bush, it can't see you, but you can't damage it.
  205. - If you feel that accumulating money from fighting battles is too slow,
  206. you can sell fish and items obtained through hunting. Hunting in particular
  207. can be a significant source of income at the earlier stages of the game.
  208. A full batch of Roast will net you 1800 Z, although you should probably
  209. hoard up on it as well, seeing as it fully heals a single character's HP.
  210. - Don't bother traveling east across the bridge yet. Not only are the
  211. enemies tough, but there's nowhere to go, as there's a guy blocking
  212. your way north, and the Exp isn't much better than what you get in the
  213. mountain.

  222. - You can probably survive here at Lv3. Stay by the healing spring and
  223. level up to at least Lv5. Leveling up on the overworld will get you more
  224. money, though (assuming you're okay at hunting).
  225. - You'll stop getting encounters in the outside areas once you've fought
  226. 15 battles there.
  227. - You'll fight the boss after passing through the first cave area.

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

  296. later. It's not even possible to sell it, so...

  310. - Go deposit all your money at the bank. Heal up and save while you're
  311. at it.
  312. - Check back with Rand at the pub. After that, you're free to enter the
  313. Coliseum.
  314. - After fighting Dir. HR (160 HP, 169 xp) and getting the key, head for
  315. the dress room, but do NOT open the chest (the one in the right room. The
  316. left one is a dummy, but feel free to try to get it). Ignore it for now
  317. and just try to open the door beside it to make Rand appear. Once he's
  318. taken all your money, it's okay to grab the chest.
  319.  
  320. [Boss: Katt]
  321. - 220 HP, 26 DFP, 42 ATP, 50% Crit, 200 Exp, 80 Z
  322. - After the battle, you're supposed to cover Katt, so she doesn't get hit
  323. by the needles (simply hold up on the d-pad). If you succeed, she'll join
  324. you right away. If you screw up, she'll join you after Augus.

  326. [PC: Katt]
  327.  
  328. - Get new gear (690 Z) and 2 levels for Katt. You can also get a BronzeHT
  329. for Rand.
  330. - Katt's default special skill, Dare, tries to force enemies to attack her.
  331. I've never gotten any use out of it. On the field, she can hunt and smash
  332. things with her staff.
  333. - You're going to need the money, so you should learn how to hunt properly
  334. with Katt. Don't approach the animals directly and time your attacks well.
  335. - Katt learns three powerful spells early in the game, but won't have
  336. enough AP to cast them for a long time (Hail (17) at Lv39, Fireball (20)
  337. at Lv61, Bolt-X (30) at Lv74).

  343. - He gets two turns per round and hits really hard when he uses his
  344. charge attack. With a little luck and prompt healing, you should be okay.

  423. - Stay away from the well for now.
  424. - The Tokens / Tolens will have no use, so you don't really need to pick
  425. them up. No big deal if you do. They stack, so, at most, they'll take
  426. 2 slots of your storage.

  428. next boss. Lv10 is enough, but I would recommend a little higher than that.

  436. There are 6 people in total and four of them have been attacked by

  438. to Ray and tell him you're done.
  439. - Whatever you do, do *not* save more than 4 villagers.
  440. - If you use a multitarget spell, the villager will get hit first and
  441. inevitably die, forcing the battle to end before the Chiroru is even
  442. hit by the spell. In any case, these battles are always worth 0 xp and
  443. Zenny.
  444. - Afterwards, Ray asks you to take him to your hideout (henceforth
  445. referred to as TownShip). Better not save your game in case you get
  446. the wrong spell.

  451. PC: Special:

  453.  
  454. - Ray will offer to teach one of your characters either Cure2 (0-4
  455. villagers saved) or Renew (5 or 6 villagers saved). I'd say it's a
  456. choice between Sten and Nina, so go with whoever you're planning on
  457. using more often.
  458. - Rand can now join the party again.
  459. - Rand's field ability allows you to move more quickly, although hitting
  460. something will force you into a random encounter.
  461. - Rand's special skill, Wake, has a chance of reviving a dead character
  462. with 1 HP. You can also use it to wake up a sleeping party member.
  463. - From now on, you can change party members at dragon statues.

  474. next to the inn to get warped back to TownShip, where Granny asks you
  475. to go and find a carpenter in Capitan.
  476. - The three new spells you received are quite powerful, but they will
  477. always drain all of Ryu's AP when used.
  478.  
  479. -- Capitan --
  480.  
  481. - The carpenter you want is definitely the guy in the east-most
  482. building (the regular-looking house). Do *NOT* choose any other
  483. carpenter!
  484. - Choosing the guy who makes normal houses allows you to create
  485. stat-boost items by cooking.
  486. - Afterwards, you can finally catch a boat to access the western
  487. continent.

  497. - Watch out for those Stone Idols. ColdBrth tends to hurt (~50 pod \all).
  498.  
  499. - From now on, you're more likely to run into Beaks and Grizzlies while
  500. hunting. Coming into contact with them will initiate a battle (and thus
  501. end the hunting session). Beaks will actively pursue you, take 6 hits
  502. to kill, leave no items, and to top it all off, they respawn after 10
  503. seconds. They're not common yet at this point in the game, but eventually
  504. they will be. If you hit them at the bottom of the screen, you can
  505. basically take them out with a single hit (they'll move off-screen and,
  506. thus, despawn, but they'll still respawn).

  514.  
  515. - This one shows up very close to the Wild Cat Restaurant. You need to
  516. stay within three vertical tiles from the restaurant. Otherwise, you're
  517. in the wrong map section.
  518. - You'll find Maniros in certain fishing spots. When you catch one, you
  519. can access their shop. The only bait that works is Gold. It takes 18
  520. seconds for Maniro to show up (15 in NTSC). Keep your lure close, and
  521. you should be able to catch him with little effort.
  522. - You can get a free Wise Robe at the Witch's Tower, so don't buy one.
  523. - You'll find a SokletAR in the cave behind the waterfall (available
  524. after the Witch's Tower). It's one point higher than the NationHT,
  525. and everyone can equip it (except for Rand, of course).
  526. - 1 BusterSD, 2 NationHT = 5800 Z.
  527.  
  528. - There's a hidden tech you can get at the WildCat Restaurant, but it's
  529. a lot easier once you have Jean. Keep in mind, you won't be able to get
  530. it anymore once you've been to SimaFort.

  542. - You can force yourself a random encounter by stepping on the platform
  543. with a character other than Ryu. Stepping on the switch thingie with
  544. Ryu will also trigger encounters, and once you do it a bunch of times
  545. in a row, the gate will open, and the switch won't do anything anymore.
  546. If you leave the tower, the gate will reset, forcing you to repeat the
  547. process.
  548. - You can ignore the chest (it's empty) and the NPC in the first room.
  549. - If you go east in the area with the last two chests, you'll jump out

  556. the right-most platform in the Amidakuji room). If you're planning on
  557. using Jean, you should go get him first, so he can start gaining
  558. experience as soon as possible.

  569. - As you exit the woods, you'll be notified that TownShip has reached
  570. phase 2. This means you can start inviting people to come live in your
  571. village. Before you do that, though, you should go pick up the WiseBL
  572. from house #2. Once (or if) you sign up Leminton, you can no longer
  573. reach the cupboard in question.
  574. - This is where I (somewhat briefly) get to use my usual party:
  575. Ryu, Katt, Jean, Sten.
  576. - Jean's field ability allows you to move in inland waters and hop over
  577. small obstacles. At Level 14, he'll also learn the spell Warp, which
  578. *may* come in handy.
  579. - Jean's default special skill, Jab, is an attack that targets all
  580. enemies (low damage).
  581. - STAY AWAY FROM SIMAFORT! You'll lose Jean very quickly upon entering

  590. - The level 2 Dragon spells are all non-elemental and will deal 512 pod
  591. to all enemies so long as Ryu has max AP (or close). (*Technically*,
  592. the Dragon spells have the indicated elements, but at the same time,

  597.  
  598. Special: Boss:
  599. Chopchop / mHP +16 Wildcat
  600.  
  601. - We're now going to pick up a hidden technique called Chopchop from
  602. one of the friendly chefs at the Wild Cat Restaurant. The process is
  603. a little tricky, though, as you'll have to fight a difficult boss with
  604. a number of penalties (such as no items), and even if you survive, you
  605. might end up getting the HP boost instead. The HP boost is certainly
  606. worth considering as well, though (unless you're planning on using a
  607. party with Bow, Spar and Bleu). Using something like the Fire Ring as
  608. an item gives you essentially the same effect as Chopchop, and anyone can
  609. use it. The only cost is that it'll take up one slot in your inventory.
  610.  
  611. - First off, you'll have to leave your items, no exceptions. Then, you'll
  612. be asked to take off your equipment (numbers 2 - 4) and replace them
  613. with items that have virtually no power whatsoever. This really isn't
  614. going to help you take out the boss, so this is where we're going to
  615. refuse to follow the instructions and fight our way through the Bouncer
  616. (I'm sure you can handle him). HOWEVER, you can only afford to do this
  617. twice, otherwise you'll get the HP boost. I suggest you skip numbers
  618. 3 and 4 (you don't even have to read the sign, you can just ignore it),
  619. so you'll only lose your accessories and headwear. If you want the HP
  620. boost instead, ignore the signs from 2-5.
  621. - The salt and pepper thing doesn't do anything.
  622. - Number 6 defines how much HP you'll lose before the boss. Go with Rare,
  623. and you'll only lose 25%. If you ignore the sign, you'll start the boss
  624. with only 1 HP.
  625.  
  626. 1. Items (forced, includes accessories)
  627. 2. Hats
  628. 3. Jackets [armor] (napkins)
  629. 4. Weapons & shields (plate + fork)
  630. 5. Salt & pepper
  631. 6. Rare / Medium / Well-done
  632.  
  633. [Boss]
  634. - 610 HP, 42 DFP, 60 ATP, 64 Agi, 700 Exp, 400 Z
  635. - With the new Dragon spells, you should be fine. Without them, your odds
  636. aren't great. Try hitting him with Pwr.Down and Def-Down in that case.
  637.  
  638. - After the battle, go talk to the chef in the kitchen and choose the
  639. following dialog options:
  640. 7. Are you mad that I tried to turn you into steaks? ---> No
  641. 8. You are soft-hearted aren't you? ---> Yes
  642.  
  643. - And that's it. I gave the skill to Katt.
  644. - The HP boost increases the max HP of all active party members by 16.
  645. It's not much, but it's something.
  646. - Talk to the bouncer on your way out to get your items back.
  647. - Note that Jean can jump over the terrain around Cursed Woods, so you
  648. don't have to walk through it.

  655. WiseBL (H2) DivideBL (Unique)(c)
  656. F.Spice (H3)
  657.  
  658. - The Dinker is on the bookshelf in Granny's house.
  659. - Unite Sanamo with Sten for a 50% increase in base ATP.
  660. - Keep in mind, you'll lose the bonding if the character's HP drops
  661. below 25% or if the character is Zombiefied. There are a few events
  662. that will cancel them as well (such as when you first visit SimaFort).
  663. - Nowhere in the camp menu does it specifically tell you what (if any)
  664. Soul Union a character has.
  665. - The DivideBL can be used infinitely to unbond from a Shaman. I don't
  666. pick it up myself, since I don't really need it.
  667. - Note that you are fully healed by simply visiting the Union menu.
  668. - Time to go get some tenants. Here's what I strongly recommend:
  669. House 1: Hekkeller (HomeTown)
  670. House 2: Leminton (Capitan)
  671. House 3: Baretta (Windia)

  673. House 5: Yozo (Windia Castle)
  674. House 6: Daiye (Windia)

  698. - BronzeST, MagmaAR, FlameSH = 10 320 Z
  699. + FlameSD, HeatST, KingSD = 8180 Z
  700.  
  701. - This stuff is pretty expensive, so I suggest you compromise and only
  702. buy a Magma Armor and Flame Shield for Ryuu, as he takes most of the
  703. hits. If Sten is your third character, he should be fine with an Iron
  704. Armor (from Sima) and a Demon Shield. You'll want to hang on to the
  705. Demon Shield, as it casts Drain when used during battle.
  706. - If you can only afford one of the elemental weapons, go with the Heat
  707. Staff.
  708. - No need to buy anything for Jean. He can use hand-me-downs and the
  709. stuff you obtain in Sima Castle.
  710. - Place the elemental weapons (or the non-elemental ones) at the top
  711. of your inventory to make mid-battle switching as quick as possible.
  712. - If you didn't get Chopchop, you should pick up a Fire Ring for defense-
  713. ignoring damage (use it as an item during battle).
  714. - Go talk to your carpenter, and he'll offer to expand the village
  715. for 1000 Z (assuming you already have residents in the first three
  716. houses). Once you agree, exit and re-enter TownShip 7 times, and it
  717. will reach phase 3.

  764. - Return to Tata to receive the keys needed to open the two doors there.
  765. - Examine the little wall in front of the buckets (top floor) to find the
  766. hidden stash of cash Tata was talking about. There are three spots in total,
  767. all next to each other (You'll get the usual "Isn't there anything here...?"

  790. - Definitely bring some LifePls for this one. He can deal around 100
  791. pod at worst, which could easily take out a character in a single hit.
  792.  
  793. - Head down to the kitchen storage to pick up Yua / Patty (and don't
  794. forget to loot the treasure room).
  795. - The Sol Blade is one of five weapons that can inflict instant death
  796. ("Toasty"). The odds are only about 5-10%, so it's nothing reliable, but
  797. it does work on all non-event enemies (Death spell resistance is not a
  798. factor at all). It doesn't work, though, if the enemy is at a higher
  799. level than the character. (The enemy's level is what Siron's guide
  800. refers to as the enemy's Luck.)
  801. - Hang on to the Short Rapier for a while. You'll want Ryuu using the
  802. Solblade on the boss after the next boss.
  803. - Note that you can trigger Jean's field ability at the entrance of the
  804. castle, so you don't have to use the boat every time.
  805. - If you want to return to the dungeon (to get Coins), you need to ride
  806. the buckets down, take the elevator up, so it's not blocking your path,
  807. then go and ride the buckets down again. Eventually, you'll need to get
  808. a couple of extra Coins, but there are other places where you can encounter
  809. Mimics later as well.

  853. want to deposit all your money first. (Your next main objective is getting
  854. Spar from the carnival near Tunlan.)
  855. - At this point, I suggest you stop hunting if you already have a good

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

  893.  
  894. - This place is south of Tunlan / southeast of Whale Cape.
  895. - There's a bunch of gear you need pick up. Better find a nice place to
  896. grind.
  897. - I strongly recommend you sign up Kalashnikov to House #4. It's either
  898. him, or Barose. Barose can teach you some high level spells, but as I
  899. tend to rely on normal physical attacks, this wasn't a hard choice for me.
  900. - Go down the hidden staircase behind the bookshelves in Kalashnikov's
  901. house to find Eichichi. You can invite her to your town as well (if
  902. you've seen the machine in the well).

  925.  
  926. - This one's west of the Thieves' Tomb. Just go down the river near
  927. Highland Castle until it reaches the ocean. With Ice weapons and a Lv30+
  928. party, you should be able to survive long enough for the spot to appear.
  929. You could also just use a dragon spell or run away and hope it appears
  930. quickly.
  931. - (BrassST), ThndrRP, 4 MystryHT = 20 800 Z (29 000 Z)
  932. - You should only buy the BrassST if you're not keeping track of enemy

  946. This fishing spot appears a bit east from the house.
  947. - Really the only thing of interest here is the Holy Scarf, which is
  948. supposed to lower the encounter rate a little (when equipped on the

  985. - Fire-elemental weapons make this a good place to grind until you can
  986. survive elsewhere. You might even get lucky and score a Shiny Bracelet
  987. (prevents all status ailments). If you don't get any, that's fine. It's

  998. - The outside areas of the mountain have the same encounters as on the
  999. overworld, but the Champion Sludge encounter seems more common. That,
  1000. combined with the healing spring in the first cave, makes this a little
  1001. better for grinding (unless you still have some hunting to do).
  1002. - There's nothing particularly important here, so you could get the
  1003. items later, when you're actually supposed to do the dungeon.
  1004. - You'll need to jump off a cliff at one point in order to reach the

  1015. - Once you get closer to Level 40, you should be able to survive in

  1017. - There are some nice drops here, but nothing you can't manage without.
  1018. I always get at least one Love Bracelet at some point. Also, the Earth
  1019. Armor is a good one for Sten. The GlassDR is a nice weapon for Katt,
  1020. but it's easier to get in the Fog Valley.
  1021. - I get one drop from the Cancers before HighFort. If it's a Love
  1022. Bracelet, then I'm done here. If it's an Earth Armor, I'll come back
  1023. after HighFort. Then, if I don't get the bracelet within a few drops,
  1024. I'll just come back with Sweh.

  1029. Lost & Found:
  1030. ElmoreSD / DemonDR (Sheef \ 1)
  1031. HolySH (Anubus \ 1)
  1032.  
  1033. - You'll find it easier to survive here than out in the desert, as
  1034. the enemies are mostly undead, so you can easily do double damage
  1035. with every character (the enemies also have less HP and DFP). You can
  1036. survive even a little below Lv30, but I'd recommend closer to Lv35.
  1037. You should also get Spar first, so Ryuu can have the Life Armor. It
  1038. helps a lot. You'll still likely get some game overs, but it's not a
  1039. big deal.
  1040. - You're likely looking at enemies doing 50 pod per hit, double with
  1041. criticals (less for Ryuu). You'll mostly be fighting Undead Thieves
  1042. and Anubis Mummies. The former have a high critical hit rate, and the
  1043. latter can cast Freeze (100 pod).
  1044. - Although you can't actually explore the dungeon yet, there's a very
  1045. good reason we're here, and that is the Demon Dagger, Sten's ultimate
  1046. weapon. So, if you're using Sten, you might as well get it now. You
  1047. won't even need Sweh, as Thieves are fairly common.
  1048. - The ElmoreSD (usable by Ryu and Jean) is the strongest Holy-elemental
  1049. weapon you can find at this point in the game.
  1050. - And let's not forget the Holy Shield, the third strongest shield in
  1051. the game, which can be used by everyone except Rand. It's the strongest
  1052. shield for Nina, Bleu and Spar. You can buy these later in the game,
  1053. but I suggest you get at least one of them now (for Katt).

  1056. ¤~~~~~~¤ Giant's Island ¤~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~¤
  1057.  
  1058. Lost & Found:
  1059. Extract / Van.Ext (A.Sludge, Gonghead b)
  1060. Charm / ShinyBR (Chorking \ 3)
  1061. SacredSH / ArmyGL (K.Sludge \ 3)
  1062.  
  1063. - Better deposit all your money into the bank before coming here. If
  1064. you have too much trouble with the enemies, just come back a little
  1065. later. Lv40 should be good.
  1066. - Rounding up the world tour is the infamous Giant's Island (or whatever
  1067. you want to call it), found by sailing south from Guntz. Let's have a
  1068. look at the four enemies you can find here, and how to deal with them:
  1069. 1. Chorking | 25 HP, 500 DFP, 265 ATP, 500 Agi
  1070. - Use Chopchop. If you don't have that, use a Fire Ring (you know,
  1071. as an item). Bring some Antidotes to counter Poison Breath.
  1072. - Your second source for Shiny Bracelets.
  1073. 2. Gonghead | 1000 HP, 0 DFP, 252 ATP, 172 Agi
  1074. - Likes to use Cure 4 but only has enough AP to cast it twice.
  1075. 3. A.Sludge | 900 HP, 55 DFP, 270 ATP, 190 Agi
  1076. - These guys have absolutely no resistance to Death (the other ones
  1077. are immune)(might still fail at lower levels), so cast that if you
  1078. can. When needed, you can also use the DemonSH to drain their AP.
  1079. They're really not that hard to beat up either, and I always go with
  1080. melee whenever Jean's refilling his AP.
  1081. 4. K.Sludge | 1000 HP, 150 DFP, 300 ATP, 500 Agi
  1082. - The encounter has three of them by default, The encounter chance is
  1083. maybe 1/32.
  1084. - They only have two moves: their normal attack and Death, which has
  1085. a 100% hit rate (unless you're wearing a certain elusive accessory).
  1086. The odds of Death being cast is low at first, but increase as their
  1087. HP goes down. Get them below 500 HP with other attacks before you hit
  1088. them with a Dragon spell.
  1089. - The Sacred Shield is pretty much the best body armor in the game.
  1090. Aside from boasting very high DFP, it also gives you a 25% chance of
  1091. nullifying magical damage (the SilverHT and DreamBR have the same
  1092. ability). It can be equipped by Ryu, Jean, Sten and Bow.
  1093. - Using Sweh, you can typically get a Gummy Ou encounter in about 5
  1094. minutes.
  1095.  
  1096. - None of the enemies here have elemental affinities, so that's one
  1097. thing you don't have to worry about.
  1098. - Sell, drop, or use the Extracts, but whatever you do, don't start
  1099. hoarding up on them, as Roast is so much more space-efficient.
  1100. - Hoarding up on some Van.Ext, on the other hand, is a pretty good
  1101. idea, especially if you don't have Bow or Rand in your standard party.
  1102. In any case, don't let them fill up your inventory. If your inventory
  1103. is full, enemies won't drop anything.
  1104. - This is the place where you'll want to build up to Lv99 (assuming
  1105. you're a bad enough dude to do so). You can get one level in about 20
  1106. minutes. You should of course do it after getting all the rare drops
  1107. you want. The SacredSH is indeed one of them, but I wouldn't bother
  1108. trying to get those without Sweh. As always, grinding will feel less
  1109. tedious if you have something playing in the background, such as kawaii
  1110. vtubers from Japan.
  1111.  
  1112. -- Fishing Spot --
  1113.  
  1114. Fish: LoveBR
  1115.  
  1116. - This one's on Giant's Island.
  1117. - Love Bracelet gives you regen, which can keep you healed up quite well.
  1118. Until you get more of them, you can just pass along this one as needed.
  1119.  
  1120.  
  1121. - As soon as you have the money, you should start cooking stat-boost
  1122. items. If you're already at Lv50, you can go ahead and max out anything
  1123. you want. If not, you should take the upcoming stat gains at least up
  1124. until Lv50 into consideration (your stat gains are very minimal after
  1125. Lv50). Hopefully, you've already decided on your final party.
  1126. - No need to max everything out. Here's what I recommend:
  1127. × Str: Max (255).
  1128. × Stm: At least 200.
  1129. × Agi: 250. Agility maxes out at 511, but few enemies have more than 200.
  1130. × Wisdom: 207.
  1131. × Luck: Pass.
  1132. × Guts: Pass.
  1133.  
  1134. - Maxing your Agility not only has few benefits, but it also makes it
  1135. a little harder to run away from enemies (except the super fast ones).
  1136. This is likely due to a programming error.
  1137. - In any case, start by depositing all your items, then fill your
  1138. inventory with the stuff you can buy at Guntz depending on which stat
  1139. boost items you want to create. See the recipes below.
  1140. × Stamina's a little tricky, as the recipe involves Tuna, so if you
  1141. didn't sign up Daiye, you're out of luck (and I *did* tell you to pick
  1142. him up). Plus, you have to manage the quantities so as to ensure a
  1143. smooth cooking process. I myself went with 39 F.Spice + 78 Tunas
  1144. (8 × 9 + 6).
  1145. - By no means do you need to get all of this done right now. If you can
  1146. at least take care of your Strength (you'll need about 100k or so),
  1147. that's good enough for now.
  1148.  
  1149. Strength | PwrFood | 3× ShaveIce (300 Z)
  1150. Stamina | Stamina | F.Spice + 2× Tuna (700 Z)

  1163. - In case you're wondering, yes, it's possible to give him the money
  1164. instead. However, the result would be the same, so you'd just be throwing
  1165. away 900 000 Z. I don't need to tell you what a bad idea that is.

  1176. - 1549 HP, 51 DFP, 115 ATP, 51 Agi, 1980 Exp, 1200 Z
  1177. - Easily the hardest boss in the game. Danielle will constantly cast
  1178. Cure 2 (on random targets), while Suiki bombs you with Thunder (~35 pod).
  1179. These two only have 100 HP, but they're revived so quickly, attacking
  1180. them is a waste of time. Al itself uses a normal attack (nothing to
  1181. worry about) and Cold Breath (~40 pod). The odds of him using the latter
  1182. are only 1/16 at first, but the odds double when he goes below the HP
  1183. thresholds of 50%, 25%, and 12,5%. Bring plenty of HelpBLs.

  1221. [PC: Spar]
  1222.  
  1223. - Spar's field ability allows you to walk through forests.
  1224. - The effect of Spar's special skill, Ntre, depends on the terrain.
  1225. - Strangely enough, although Spar starts off with a RistBand, he can't
  1226. actually equip one.

  1233. DemonDR / ElmoreSD (Kimaira \ 2)
  1234. IronSH / StarSH (Cyclops \ 2)
  1235.  
  1236. - You won't be able to handle the enemies well until you're closer to
  1237. Lv50, but you should probably try to get the fishing spot to appear
  1238. once you're about Lv30. You can take out G.Idols with a dragon spell
  1239. and you can probably just beat up Marble Golems. The Mamots have 736
  1240. HP, so a dragon spell alone won't cut it. If there's only one, you
  1241. should be able to finish it off. You can also use Death. If there's
  1242. two of them, you might want to try to run away. You certainly want to
  1243. run away from the Chimera. So, yeah, you need to get fairly lucky, but
  1244. the armor is well worth it.
  1245. - Also, if you haven't fished a treasure chest before, go practice with
  1246. the one near TownShip. Any input when Ryu is pulling the chest up will
  1247. be ignored, so you need to get a hang of the rhythm. If you fail too
  1248. many times, the chest will end up too close to you, and you can't really
  1249. hook it anymore.
  1250. - Yet another high profile rare drop: the MamothCL, Rand's best armor.
  1251. If you're using Rand, you definitely want to get it. It can wait until
  1252. you get Sweh, though.

  1282. - In case you haven't been here before, you can find the castle on the
  1283. outskirts of the desert southeast from TownShip.
  1284. - You will no longer have access to this area once you complete the
  1285. events here.
  1286. - Sten is mandatory here plus he has to go solo for a while, so if you
  1287. haven't been using him at all, you might want to warm him up first.
  1288. - Also keep in mind, you won't be able to change your party members,
  1289. and you'll be stuck in the castle until you finish all the events.
  1290. - Make your way to the throne room, and you'll soon find yourself in
  1291. control of Sten, while the rest of your party is unavailable.
  1292. - The first three items are downstairs from where Sten begins. You can't
  1293. get those later (not that they're anything important).
  1294. - Although you can't leave the castle, you'll have access to basic
  1295. town services for a while. Make sure you're thoroughly prepared before
  1296. you challenge Trubo (Holy weapons, enough free space for treasure).
  1297.  
  1298. [Boss: Torubo]
  1299. - 110 HP, 1750 Exp, 1000 Z
  1300. - Simply defend during the first phase (or heal if needed), as you
  1301. can't win. It ends after 3 rounds.
  1302. - In the second phase (when the bridge is falling), you have 4 rounds
  1303. to kill him.
  1304.  
  1305. - You'll find a healing spring (first of two) and a save point at the
  1306. bottom of the eastern tower, but you can't get back to the item shop
  1307. or storage since the bridge is out.
  1308. - The next six items are found in Sten's solo section. After passing
  1309. behind the throne room, there are three paths. The left and right ones
  1310. have treasure. Next, there are two paths. The left one has treasure.
  1311. - After being reunited with your three other characters, you can finally
  1312. start encountering Soulflickers (common in the areas after the Portal).
  1313. These guys drop the elusive Dream Bracelet, which gives you magic evade.
  1314. There's one of these in the final dungeon, but aside from that, this
  1315. is your only chance to actually get more of them. I get one myself (for
  1316. Katt). Rand is the only character who can only get magic evade off a
  1317. DreamBR. If you want him to get magic evade before the final dungeon,
  1318. your only choice is to score one here. Then again, with his HP, he doesn't
  1319. really need it as much as, say, Katt or Nina.
  1320. - The SkullBR makes the wearer slightly more susceptible to Death.
  1321. - Eventually, you'll find a room with three teleporters
  1322. × The left one will take you back to the second healing spring (near
  1323. the MoonMask).
  1324. × The right one is the emergency exit. Although you still can't leave
  1325. the castle, you can use it to return to the save point or revisit Sten's
  1326. solo section in case you missed any items. When you want back, go
  1327. examine the switch in the throne room.
  1328. × Both the left and right teleporters are one-way only.
  1329. × The middle one will take you to the Portal.

  1395. - Once inside, you'll find three slightly different versions of the

  1447. guy there (if you've already done that at some point earlier, you don't

  1462. "second" to pass. The timer halts when in the menu. Some areas are
  1463. not submerged.
  1464. - There are no chests hidden in the seaweed.
  1465. - Once you have Spoo(r), you not only can pass through Fog Valley,
  1466. but also have access to Sten's Djinni form. This form has the special
  1467. ability Sweh, which ends the current battle and rolls another one.
  1468. × To recap, Sweh is useful when trying to get: ShinyBR, LoveBR, GlassDR,
  1469. MamothCL, SacredSH (plus more to come).

  1486. SpiritRB 7500 Z
  1487. ThndrGL 9000 Z
  1488.  
  1489. - This one's on an island SW of CotLnd. However, due to the way the
  1490. map sections are laid out, the spot will never appear when you're
  1491. actually *on* the island. Instead, stay on the mainland, east of the
  1492. island. Once you know where the fishing spot is, re-trigger it while
  1493. you're directly south of it. This way you're as close to it as possible,
  1494. at the very edge of the map section. Anyway, once the fish appears,
  1495. have Jean morph, and start moving along the coastline. Once you hit the
  1496. two little mountains, unmorph so you can walk past the little gap, then
  1497. morph back and hope for the best. Using Ryu's Smoke spell should help.
  1498. - Either way, you'll be needing a fair amount of cash here. The MedusaSH
  1499. is the strongest shield in the game, so better get those for your
  1500. standard PCs (also available through other sources later in the game).
  1501. Brave Armor is good, but you can soon buy a slightly better one.
  1502. - 3-5 Medusa Shields + 1-2 Brave Armor (Katt, Sten) = 160 000+ Z

  1507. Lost & Found:
  1508. PwrFood / MamothCL (Mamot \ 1)
  1509.  
  1510. - Right, so, the Mamots are here too. As I already said, if you're
  1511. using Rand in your standard party, you *definitely* want the MamothCL.
  1512. When fighting them, use proper elemental weapons and / or Death. There
  1513. are Ganets here, but they're not common, so they won't slow you down
  1514. much. You could also fight Mamots in the Gate region, but you can't
  1515. rest there, so this place is preferred.

  1523. - I choose not to pick up the Plate, as I don't want to waste a storage
  1524. slot for it.
  1525. - You'll need Rand during a couple of events here. He also has to take
  1526. care of a fixed encounter on his own, so better level him up a little
  1527. if you haven't been using him.
  1528. - Anyway, have Rand in your party, and go visit Daisy. She'll ask you
  1529. to clean up the backyard.
  1530. - Note that one of the rocks will turn out to be the S.Golem, and that
  1531. guy will actually fight back a little (might as well call it a boss).
  1532.

  1535.  
  1536. - Go check back with Rand's mom once you're done (Rand has to be in the
  1537. lead). After that, head to Namanda Temple. You won't need Rand there,
  1538. but he still has one thing to do once you get back.

  1546. Solo trigger
  1547.  
  1548. - A good place to get Coins.
  1549. - You can pick up the Tiger Sword here (you'll need Sweh, once again).
  1550. While it's probably weaker than what you're currently using (Goblin
  1551. Sword), you can use it to cast Cure 2 in battle, which is pretty neat.
  1552. It's easier to get in the Sky Cave, though.
  1553. - ATTENTION!

  1561.  
  1562. - You *did* donate more than 2000 Z to Namanda, didn't you?
  1563. - Go talk to the soldier at Daisy's field with Rand in the lead, and
  1564. he'll engage in a one-on-one battle with him. The other characters
  1565. can't help here, and if you die, you *will* get a game over. If you
  1566. haven't used him at all, you'll need to level him up a little. Lv19
  1567. is barely enough. Have him borrow a MedusaSH from someone and get some
  1568. ShaveIce (you'll need 6). You can only afford to attack when you're
  1569. at max HP, so use Roast to heal yourself.

  1579. such, the second part is the hardest (A_B_A__). If it's giving you too
  1580. much trouble, that's okay. You can manage without it.

  1622. - You will no longer have access to this area once you complete the
  1623. events in the castle.
  1624. - You can explore most of the dungeon with any party, but you won't
  1625. be able to finish it without Nina.
  1626. - Technically, the first chest is in the castle, but you have to go
  1627. through the basement to get it.
  1628. - The Barucudas are common here, especially in the area with the statue
  1629. that takes you to Nina's solo section. There are no Gargoyles there,
  1630. though, so I'd recommend the earlier areas (I get at least one ShinyBR
  1631. here myself).
  1632. - If you die in Nina's solo section (highly likely if she doesn't have
  1633. Typhoon (Lv22)), you'll end up back at the first statue. This doesn't
  1634. count as a game over, so you won't lose any money. Nina is fully healed

  1651. - You've finally gained the ability to fly (allowing you to obtain a
  1652. couple of more delicious magic items). Just keep in mind that only Nina
  1653. can call the Great Bird.
  1654. - The Silver Helmet is the best helmet for Katt, Nina, Bleu, and Spar.
  1655. The Sun Mask may be 3 points higher in Defense, but the SilverHT also
  1656. grants partial immunity to spells. Most useful considering none of these
  1657. characters can wear the SacredSH (plus then you can replace the DreamBR).
  1658. Of course, SunMasks are a little easier to come by.

  1698. - The Wisdom Robe is fairly light,
  1699. - I grabbed two MotherRBs; one for Nina and one for Bleu (more if I
  1700. didn't get lucky with the Sacred Shields). Spar would be getting one
  1701. eventually as well (you can find one in the final dungeon). It's the
  1702. strongest armor he can wear.
  1703. - I got two Sun Masks for Ryu and Sten. Jean would get the one found
  1704. in the Thieves' Tomb.
  1705. - You might already have a bunch of Holy Shields, but, yeah, either
  1706. way, you'll want at least three of them (for Nina, Bleu and Spar). Katt
  1707. should also use one until you manage to score an ArmyGL (which you may
  1708. already have).
  1709. - AmberRG, WisdomRB, 2 MotherRBs, 2 SunMasks = 78 900 Z

  1714. WorthRG 9500 Z
  1715. SlicerDR 20 000 Z
  1716.  
  1717. - This one's on the island northwest of Guntz, but you have to stay on
  1718. the very eastern end of the island (the last 3 horizontal tiles).
  1719. - I suggest you buy 4 Waasu Rings.
  1720. - If you're using Sten in your standard party but still haven't gotten
  1721. the DemonDR, you can just go with the Slicer instead, as it's still
  1722. powerful enough to get his ATP to max when using Djinni.
  1723.

  1725.  
  1726. Fish: Tolen
  1727.  
  1728. - On the north side of the Show Cave, west of Gate. This one doesn't
  1729. require flight, but I decided not to list it earlier.

  1739.  
  1740. Lost & Found:
  1741. MedusaSH / NoTwinRP (N.Rider \ 3)
  1742.  
  1743. - You can get Jean's ultimate weapon, Notung, on the island where the
  1744. armory is. Even if you don't use Jean, you might still want to pick it
  1745. up for Ryu, as it's the strongest Holy-elemental weapon in the game.
  1746. - N.Riders are arguably more dangerous than King Sludges. They have
  1747. higher ATP and DFP, and can heavily damage your entire party with Hail,
  1748. Fireball and Typhoon (~100 pod to all). If there's only one of them,
  1749. you don't have too much to worry about, but if there are two, you'll
  1750. want to use a dragon spell and maybe try to hit them with Boombada
  1751. (tends to works).

  1759. - You'll have to go through a short dungeon here (for now), so if Nina
  1760. isn't part of your standard party, don't forget to drop her off at the
  1761. inn first.
  1762. - Talk to the NPC in the building with two entrances, then try to leave to
  1763. find that you're stuck. Go talk to the NPC again and jump into the toilet.

  1812. - You'll soon find two arrow panels that you can use to move the door
  1813. and thus access different rooms. To push the door beyond room 5, you
  1814. need to stand on the right arrow panel for 3 minutes and 21 seconds
  1815. (2:48 in NTSC). If you don't feel like fighting that many battles
  1816. here, check the secret areas after the boss, when the encounters are
  1817. temporarily disabled. Do note, however, that the panels stop working

  1838.  
  1839. - You will no longer have access to this area once you complete the
  1840. events here.
  1841. - Go talk to Tiga in Claris's house to begin the infiltration.
  1842. - The monk at the gate will ask you what Eva's real name is. If you
  1843. get it wrong, you'll have to beat him up.
  1844. - Katt will rejoin the party after the initial event inside the church.
  1845. This is the point where Seini becomes available if you didn't find the
  1846. secret areas in Bando.
  1847.  
  1848. [Boss: Ray]
  1849. - The battle ends once Ryu uses G.Drgn (learnt after dealing some damage).
  1850.  
  1851. - G.Drgn deals 999 pod to all enemies.
  1852. - This is the point where Beretta's last set of wares becomes available.
  1853. - You'll need Rand's field ability to take down a couple of walls after
  1854. finding Daisy. Solo becomes available after taking down the second one.
  1855. - After taking out the two Archers, jump down from where the first
  1856. Archer was to reach the SkullBR. This takes you all the way back to the
  1857. beginning, so feel free to leave (you won't need Rand anymore). While
  1858. you're at it, go pick up Solo (and Seny) and get some gear from Beretta
  1859. (listed below).
  1860.  
  1861. [Boss: Oldman]
  1862. - DO NOT ATTACK THE OLD MAN if you want the best ending (and the flying
  1863. TownShip). I usually don't get it myself. However, even if you save the
  1864. old man, you still need to trigger the scene where TownShip gains the
  1865. ability to fly to get the best ending. As such, you could save the old
  1866. man, but not trigger the flying TownShip scene, and thus still have both
  1867. endings available.
  1868. - There are four targets:
  1869.  
  1870. A C A: 538 HP, 169 DFP, 504 AP, W:F, R:I D: 312 HP
  1871. D B: 538 HP, 169 DFP, 64 AP, W:I, R:F
  1872. B C: 538 HP, 169 DFP, 504 AP
  1873.  
  1874. - Each eye only has one spell it'll use:
  1875. - A: Freeze (~100 pod) (10 AP)
  1876. - B: Flame (~50 pod \ all) (12 AP)
  1877. - C: Cure 3 (heal 120 HP \ all) (20 AP)
  1878. - If low on AP, the eyes will drain AP from Ganer. This is considered
  1879. Ganer's action, so the eye still gets to act that round.
  1880. - Like all enemies, the eyes may rarely defend.
  1881. - The machine has an increasing probability to force Ganer to cast a
  1882. spell on you. This can only happen when all four targets are alive.
  1883. Whenever Ganer casts a spell, the eyes don't get to act. He can cast
  1884. Hail (~100), Fireball (~120) and Bolt-X (~180).
  1885. - It's easy to hit Ganer unintentionally due to automatic target switching.
  1886. If you accidentally kill him, there's no need to reset. Just get a game
  1887. over instead (you can just attack your own characters if the eyes aren't
  1888. doing it). You should kill one or two of the eyes before that, as this
  1889. allows you to see their health bars the next time you fight them. A and
  1890. C use the same kill flag (despite their differences), so killing one of
  1891. them gives you both of their health bars.
  1892.  
  1893.  
  1894. ¤~~~~~~¤ TownShip ¤~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~¤
  1895.  
  1896. Shop:
  1897. BreakSD 16 000 Z HeroAR 25 000 Z
  1898. DeathBW 23 000 Z MotherRB 28 000 Z
  1899. KaiserKN 25 000 Z HolySH 18 000 Z
  1900. AmberRG 11 000 Z ShinyHT 16 000 Z
  1901.  
  1902. - Baretta's last set of wares is quite impressive. The Shiny Helmet
  1903. is the strongest headwear for Jean, Sten and Bow, the Kaiser Knuckle
  1904. is Rand's ultimate weapon, and the Death Bow is Bow's ultimate weapon
  1905. (kind of).
  1906. × I bought only one ShinyHT, and that was for Bow. Sten would get a
  1907. free one soon, and Ryu and Jean would receive updates not long after
  1908. that as well.
  1909. × The BreakSD is Ryu's strongest non-elemental weapon, but there's
  1910. really no need for it. Only Spirits resist Thunder, and you should
  1911. use a Holy-elemental weapon for those.
  1912. × The Hero Armor is the strongest armor you can buy (usable by Ryu,
  1913. Jean and Sten). If you've failed to procure any Sacred Shields, you
  1914. may want to grab one of those.
  1915. - ShinyHT, KaiserKN, DeathBW = 64 000 Z.
  1916. - If you saved Ganer and told Eichichi about the machine under your
  1917. town, head into the well and your town will be able to fly. It's quite
  1918. slow, though, and it's too big to land on the area where the Empire
  1919. Sword is, but it's still something (especially since you lose the
  1920. ability to call Mina soon).
  1921.  
  1922. -- Bando --
  1923.  
  1924. Shaman: (Seny) (Holy)
  1925.  
  1926. - Revisit Bando for Seny (if you missed her the first time around).
  1927.  
  1928. -- FarmTown --
  1929.  
  1930. Shaman: Solo (Earth)
  1931.  
  1932. - Pick up Solo at Daisy's backyard. Solo is the best shaman for Rand
  1933. and Spar. The Sproutling form's Bud allows Spar to deal great damage
  1934. (albeit uncontrollably and with a slight delay).
  1935.  
  1936. - WARNING: You will lose the ability to fly on the Great Bird once you
  1937. trigger the next event at Gate! If you saved Ganer and got TownShip
  1938. to fly, this isn't that big of a deal (assuming you got the EmpireSD).
  1939. However, if you killed him, make *absolutely* sure you have nothing
  1940. left to do in the areas that require the ability to fly. Here's a recap
  1941. just in case:
  1942. × Evrai island (CharmRod)
  1943. × Fishing spot east of TownShip (EmpireSD)
  1944. × Island armory / N.Rider Island
  1945. × Maniro H

  1950. Shaman: Boss: Lost & Found:
  1951. Shin (Devil) Habalq SilverHT / WisdomRB (Babaruku \ 5)
  1952.  
  1953. - When you're ready, go talk to Father Hulk at the dragon.
  1954. - Explore the little areas of the final dungeon available to you now
  1955. to find the last remaining shaman, Shin.
  1956. - At this point, you're supposed to go chasing after Patty (CotLnd,
  1957. WildCat, ThvsTomd, TownShip), but it's not strictly necessary to talk
  1958. to all the NPCs who give you clues on her whereabouts. Simply talking
  1959. to the first one at CotLnd should be enough. After that, you'll find
  1960. her on the second floor at Niro's place.
  1961. - After locating Patty, return to Hulk, but make sure you save your
  1962. game first. (Well, actually, the game lets you walk away and leave
  1963. right before you fight Babaruku.)
  1964.  
  1965. [Boss: Babaruku / Habaruku]
  1966. - 2500 HP, 131 DFP, 300 ATP, 100 Agi, 3800 Exp, 5000 Z
  1967. - He can cast the most powerful spells, including Bolt-X, but he may
  1968. start off wasting turns spamming Drain. Better bring some Van.Ext just
  1969. in case, though.
  1970. - I recommend you get your second SilverHT here, as Habaruku has a
  1971. decent enough chance of dropping one.
  1972.  
  1973. - After the battle, you're looking at a fairly important dialog option.
  1974. If you choose 'Wait,' you'll get the bad ending. Might as well check
  1975. it out. However, in order to receive closure...

  1997.  
  1998. - You probably can't get all the items in a single trip. I need 2 myself.
  1999. - All the items up to the Final Knuckle are found in "upper" Infinity.
  2000. - You'll have plenty of use for your Holy weapons, especially in upper
  2001. Infinity.
  2002. - About halfway through, you'll reach Dologany. This is where you'll
  2003. find the first save point (there are two more in lower Infinity). You
  2004. can also rest and shop, but you don't have access to your storage.
  2005. - Before you go learn Anfini in the shrine below Dologany, I suggest
  2006. you pick up a Meow Staff. I do it in the area where you find the RiotST.
  2007. - When you get Anfini, your soul unions will be undone.
  2008. - If you use Exit in lower Infinity, you'll be taken to the save point
  2009. in Dologany.
  2010. - There are two paths you can take in the final area. You should take
  2011. the southern ladder first and get the two items on that path (Dragon
  2012. Helm and Holy Shield), then return to B1 and take the northern path.
  2013. - If you still need SilverHTs, you can encounter Magic Masters in pairs
  2014. in most areas in lower Infinity.
  2015. - Once you reach an area that's completely dark, you're about to encounter
  2016. Barubary. Do not proceed without a good supply (~10) of Van.Ext (if you're
  2017. not using Bow or Rand).

  2056. - At first, you'll fight him with your full party. However, the battle
  2057. ends after inflicting some damage. You then have the choice of fighting
  2058. him with Ryu alone (not recommended).
  2059. - Bolt X: ~130-180. Fire Breath / Cold Breath: ~100.
  2060. - Even his normal attack hits all your characters, so expect heavy
  2061. damage every turn. His ATP increases when below 50% and 25% HP.
  2062.  
  2063. - In the next area, you'll find the final save point. The final boss
  2064. is just around the corner (straight north after using the teleporter).
  2065. - The little rooms you can reach from the area with the King's Helmet
  2066. are the only places in the game where you can encounter Pendragon and
  2067. Zodiac (not in the same rooms, though). They have a low encounter rate
  2068. and the items have low drop rates. I suggest you forget about them.
  2069. - Return to the area where you fought Barubary with Katt and Sten in
  2070. their basic forms. Look for a rock you can smash on the right side.
  2071. After taking care of that, you'll have to cross a gap with Sten in
  2072. order to reach the Life Bracelet.
  2073.  
  2074. [Boss]
  2075. - 10 000 HP, 140 DFP, 400 ATP, 138 Agi
  2076. - You'll have to use Anfini in order to end the first phase.
  2077. - ColdBrth: ~100 pod \all
  2078. - One of his attacks drains 60 HP and 25% of cAP from all your characters.
