  63. This is the tutorial, where you will be asked (in order) to:
  64. - Move using the Left and Right buttons and strike once with Square.
  65. - Make a 4-move combo by repeatedly tapping Square.
  66. - Jump using X.
  67. - Double Jump and glide by pressing X twice.
  68. - Mid-air strike by using Square while gliding.
  69. - Kill mobs to collect phozons.
  70. - Use Cyclone on these mobs with Triangle.
  71. - Collect Items and use them with the O button.
  72. - Kill more enemies.
  73.  
  74. The strats are fairly simple: group everything you can so it consumes less time
  75. in the tutorial. Ideally, you would carry on the momentum of the first strike
  76. to resume the combo right when the text appears. I also advise using the time
  77. you're gliding to wait for the mid-air strike text to appear, so you just need
  78. to press Square and win a few seconds.
  79. Note: You will need the text to appear for your actions to be validated, thus
  80. going too fast will only make you lose time.
  81.  
  82. With optimal movement, you can have it wrapped up under 4 min RTA (if you're
  83. on PS3) or 4:15 (if on PS2, like me.)

  129. Only 3 soldiers will try to come for your life. Ideally kill them without
  130. taking any damage to get a Titanian Coin (best way is to use Cyclone.)
  131.  
  132. Take everything but the scroll.

  144. 2 waves: 1 Soldier and 1 Fairy Archer, then 1 Soldier and 2 Fairy Archers.
  145. Plant your Mulberry Seed to nourish it with this room's phozons. Don't use
  146. Cyclone as you might not get any phozon for your Psypher.
  147.  
  148. Once you're done, get your Mulberries, the Napalm and the coins.

  159. Phozon Butterfly tutorial time, yay! Absorb all the Phozons from the butterfly
  160. to get to max Psypher Power (3), then several soldiers will appear. Use Cyclone
  161. to get rid of them. Absorb the phozons then go for the kill again, for the
  162. second and last wave.
  163.  
  164. Take the Hot Cross Bun and the Toxin... and any healing item/coin if there are.
  165.  
  166. Note: From now on, if you need to heal, hold onto the Hot Cross Buns, and not
  167. the Mulberries, as you'll need to keep them.

  179. As told in the map above, this room is a Shop. This is perfect since we need
  180. to buy the best item of the game: the Spirit Stone. What's more, it even costs
  181. only 15G, which you've already had from the tutorial.
  182.  
  183. Equip the Spirit Stone and proceed to the South-Eastern path.

  195. The game will give you a Napalm bottle at the start of this battle. Take it and
  196. keep it for later, you will need it.
  197.  
  198. The mid-boss of this chapter is the Unicorn Knight. He's very easy and only has
  199. a few attacks, which are:
  200.  
  201. - Jumps into the air and skewers you (high damage, avoid getting hit by it.)
  202. - Thrusts his lance in front of him (low damage, you can damage boost.)
  203. - Similar to the previous one, only that he'll do it several times and up and
  204. down (medium damage, only damage boost if you are high in HP |> 60|.)
  205. - Charges at you, which is his most powerful and dangerous attack (easily
  206. avoidable, though.)
  207. - Summons reinforcements (2 Fairy Archers.)
  208.  
  209. Absorb all the phozons into the Psypher and take the loot.
  210. Keep going South.

  223.

  225. any.)

  237. Now, this is getting interesting. Raging Dragon Belial is a very easy boss but
  238. we're playing with low HP right now (if everything went right, you should only
  239. have 99 max HP, being at Food Level 2.)
  240.  
  241. Belial has several attacks, and many of them can hurt you several times, which
  242. makes him annoying:
  243.  
  244. - Lunges and tackles you (low damage but may Knock you out.)
  245. - Pukes garbage that falls from the top (medium damage.)
  246. - Pukes out a ball of garbage that bounces around the area, dropping trash that
  247. hurts you (medium damage, Knockout.)
  248. - Breathes heavily trying to swallow you (high damage, might kill you easily.)
  249. - Summons reinforcements (1 Archer Fairy.)
  250.  
  251. The strat is still very easy: stay behind him to avoid most of his attacks (the
  252. second one can reach you even when you're facing his back.) If you see him
  253. going for the lunge, immediately spam Cyclone so you can hit him a LOT.
  254. Otherwise, I suggest you wait until a Fairy's between you and him so you can
  255. kill her in the process. Heal with Hot Cross Buns if needed.
  256.  
  257. The battle should be over in a minute, and hopefully you should have a few free
  258. spots in your inventory.

  301. Alchemy Tutorial time, yay... wait a f***ing minute! Immediately plant your
  302. Rosemile before it's too late!!!!!
  303.  
  304. NOW, onto the tutorial: Grab the Material 0 that drops in front of you, as well
  305. as the Alchemy Mix A Text. Now mix the Material 0, then the Onionne. Once
  306. you're done, 3 Frogs and a Goblin will appear: kill them all.
  307.  
  308. Note: When you kill the Goblin, his knife will hover a bit in the air before
  309. falling. If you get hit by it, you might get poisoned.
  310.  
  311. BUT WE'RE NOT DONE YET! Now, onto the realy interesting part: Ideally, you will
  312. get 2 Material 0, 2 Rosemiles and 4 Seeds (and still have your 6 Mulberries.)
  313.  
  314. So, what you need to do is:
  315. - Get at least 4 empty slots (just drop the items to make place, no need to
  316. actually use them.)
  317. - Take 2 seeds and the 2 Material 0.
  318. - Make 2 Material 1 from the Material 0 and the seeds.
  319. - Take the 2 Material 1 and the other 2 seeds.
  320. - Make 2 Material 2 from the Material 1 and the seeds.
  321. - Take the 2 Material 2 and make 2 Material 4 by fusing one with the Toxin,
  322. and the other with the Antidote granted from the tutorial.
  323. - Now, take both Material 4 and fuse them with Mulberries to get the two much
  324. needed Material 9.
  325.  
  326. Now you should have much more space than before, which is ideal since you'll
  327. also need those Rosemiles in the future. Take them and go to the next mission.

  340. More Alchemy, yaaaaaay... How to get Mandragoras 101, yaaaaaay... At least, you
  341. get the Napalm recipe. Just do the tutorial and kill the bears (I suggest using
  342. the jab to stagger them, so you won't need to use Cyclone.)
  343.  
  344. Take the spoils and make a Material 2, then go East.

  357. The Manticore only has 3 attacks, thankfully:
  358.  
  359. - Bite attack (2x17 damage.)
  360. - Jumps and tries to land on you (high damage and Knockout/Dizzy effect.)
  361. - Shoots balls of poison from the tail (low damage but high chance to poison.)
  362.  
  363. The strat is basically to hit it from behind and Cyclone through it if a frog
  364. comes near it.
  365.  
  366. After taking the loot, if you actually hold 2 useless seeds, transform your
  367. Material 2 into a Material 4, then into a Material 9 with a Mulberry.

  412. Okay, here we go for Velvet. Don't be fooled by her hot sexy appearance: she's
  413. more than capable to handle you alone (especially at Food Level 2, still.)
  414.  
  415. Here is about what she uses:
  416.  
  417. - Alchemy Potions. She throws Alchemy Potions at you from afar or she can swing
  418. across the area dropping tons of Alchemy Potions. These can be Blizzard, Toxin,
  419. Napalms or Cyclones (very high damage, may cause several ailments.)
  420. - Chain attack 1: she stands still on a tree branch and use her chains to
  421. follow you. These only go up the screen and down it (high damage.)
  422. - Chain attack 2: just like the previous attack, she stands still on a tree
  423. branch and the chains will attack the nearby area (high damage, but can be
  424. damage-boosted.)
  425. - Combo attack: when you're near her, she'll attack you normally (high damage,
  426. make sure to avoid that.)
  427.  
  428. Okay, let's brush the "Velvet's a run-killer" myth right here, right now: she's
  429. NOT a run-killer. I would even dare say she's free when you know how to handle
  430. her patterns.
  431.  
  432. The strat is as follows: Start by drinking a Painkiller, then go right into
  433. contact with her (preferably from behind... to avoid her chains, that is.)
  434. She will soon enough perch herself on a tree: that's when you try to damage
  435. boost as much as you can while she's using her attacks.
  436. When you're in a pinch (because you WILL run low on HP), use 2 Mulberry seeds
  437. to proceed to Food Level 3 and then tank some more.
  438. If you have more trouble then expected, you can still use your leftover Hot
  439. Cross Buns. Ideally, keep the last Mulberry for Chapter 3.
  440.  
  441. The battle should be over in under one minute and a half, and you should be
  442. well-enough prepared for Chapter 3.

  499. Not much to say about it: as your Max HP is low, the freezing is less effective
  500. than in a casual run (1% every 2-3 seconds.) Try to kill as many of the Ice

  546. WARNING: Worst non-boss room of the run!
  547.  
  548. It's time to introduce you the sturdiest non-boss monster of the game: the
  549. Troll. Not only that, but he's accompanied by fricking Gryphons and Ice
  550. Spirits.
  551.  
  552. First wave: Try to get as far as you can from the Gryphons (they'll catch up,
  553. anyway) and try to get all Trolls in a single line (as if you wanted to Cyclone
  554. them.) Now, remember the Napalms we saved? It's time to use them. Throw one
  555. bottle to instakill the Trolls and hurt the Gryphons (with some luck, even burn
  556. them, to make dealing the finishing blow easier for you.)
  557.  
  558. Second wave: Things start to get interesting as a butterfly will spot itself
  559. near you. tru to get ALL ENEMIES in line and SPAM THE HECK OUTTA CYCLONE!!!
  560. (4 should suffice to sweep the entirety of the wave, Gryphons included.)
  561. Absorb phozons while the mobs are getting killed by the Cyclones.
  562.  
  563. Third wave: Trolls are back, but it won't prevent you from doing the same
  564. thing: 4 Cyclones while every mob lines perfectly so you can sweep them.
  565. (No Napalm this time, you'll see why.)
  566.  
  567. As usual, once it's done, absorb phozons and-- nope: no loot this time.
  568. Head straight to the North-Eastern path.

  599. The Revenant is a very annoying mid-boss, to the point I don't even have a
  600. fast strat to offer you. All you can do is hit him from the flanks without
  601. ever getting into contact with him.
  602.  
  603. Attacks:
  604. - Usual attack: He raises his body and damage you (high damage and breaks
  605. momentum.)
  606. - Absorb: He summons a cursed field (absorbs some HP if you get hit by that.)
  607. - Ice Breath: Creates 3 Ice Spirits.
  608. - Summon reinforcements: 2 Mini Trolls.
  609.  
  610. A Cyclone can damage it pretty badly if done right (also helps repulsing the
  611. Mini Trolls.) Once he summons his cursed field, he stops moving. It's the best
  612. moment to attack him mid-air, but don't let yourself get in his operation
  613. range, or you'll lose time.
  614.  
  615. Once you're done with him, take the Napple Seed(s, if you're lucky), the
  616. Rosemile and the Material 10 you will use to make another Material 90 with one
  617. of the remaining Material 9.
  618.  
  619. Note 1: Keep the Napple Seed(s.) You'll need them soon enough.
  620. Note 2: You should be at Psypher Level 16. If you're under it, then you might
  621. get into big trouble.
  622.

  635. Okay, so this fight is:
  636. - Free if you're at Psypher Level 16.
  637. - A hot pile of run-killer garbage if you're under that Psypher Level.
  638.  
  639. I'll explain myself: At level 16, you get the ability Phozon Burst, which
  640. allows you to bring down the General Brigan way more easily than with your
  641. puny Cyclones. This boss isn't a hard-hitter but has an insanely high
  642. Defense; good luck getting rid of it without the Phozon Burst.
  643.  
  644. Okay, let's go with his patterns first:
  645.  
  646. - Fire Breath: He drinks something from his horn and starts walking while
  647. breathing fire (low damage, can cause Fire.)
  648. - Charges at you (moderate damage, can Knock you out.)
  649. - He tosses his hammer in front of him (moderate damage.)
  650. - Stomps the ground making a little quake around himself (low-moderate
  651. damage, Knockout?)
  652. - He starts jumping around while trying to hit you (I suggest you just avoid
  653. this attack.)
  654.  
  655. At the start of the fight, get as far away as you can from him, and plant your
  656. 4 (ideally 5) Rosemiles. Now you have Photon Burst (if you haven't... rip),
  657. go near him and spam it: it will at least take two of his plates off
  658. (considering you have 5 charges at the beginning.) Then, the Rosemiles should
  659. be able to bring the remaining Psypher charges to get at least 3 other Photon
  660. Bursts in. Get two other Phozon Bursts in to completely get rid of his armor.
  661.  
  662. Now, that's when the fun part begins. You can now hit him with normal damage,
  663. but keep your Psypher charges for later, when he'll summon 4 Valkyries who'll
  664. hold a plate each: kill them before they reach him, or he'll regain his armor.
  665.  
  666. The battle is just that, and avoid him (though I suggest to damage boost and
  667. use the Regen potion when your HP get halfway depleted.) The only attack I
  668. would avoid at all costs is the charge attack. No need to waste a Painkiller
  669. on him, as he doesn't hit really hard.
  670.  
  671. I expect the battle to take between two and four minutes (if he gets his
  672. shields back.)
  673.

  721.  
  722. - Jump into the air and smash you (very high damage, avoid it.)
  723. - Slash with his axe in front of him (pretty high damage.)

  814. I hope you have at least 4 levels of Psypher charge left. Begin by planting
  815. the Rosemile on the ground, then once the mobs are positioned, use Phozon
  816. Burst on them and hunt for the remaining enemies.
  817. On the second wave, you will want to regain your phozons and let the Laughing
  818. Specters approach you before you also bang them with a Phozon Burst.
  819. Last wave has lurking tentacles and quite a lot of specters: try to gather near
  820. one side of the the tentacles and Phozon Burst one more time to get rid of
  821. every annoying mob, then Cyclone through the rest.
  822. You should now be at 0 (or 2 after recharging) Psypher bars loaded, but that's
  823. alright: everything can be cooked now.
  824.  
  825. When you open the chest, only take the Material 10 to make your last needed
  826. Material 90.
  827.  
  828. Now, it is time to use your four Material 90 to make a lot of phozons and
  829. ascend a few levels. After making 3 Heals and collecting their 90 phozons
  830. (each 9X potion releases 30 phozons), you should be at level 23;
  831. - if not, use the last Material 90 to make another Heal potion and collect its
  832. phozons.
  833. - if yes, plant a Napple Seed and use most of the last Heal potion's phozons to
  834. make it grow into two fine Napples.
  835.  
  836. Afterwards, fuse the Material 2 you own with other Carroteers to make 2
  837. Painkillers, because you'll need them. Now, onto Odin...
  838.  
  839. Note: You need to be at Psypher Level 23 to learn Overload, an ability which
  840. will allow the player to kill bosses way faster than ever before.

  852. Odin is basically the Offensive version of Brigan (without a Painkiller, almost
  853. every hit can kill you):
  854.  
  855. - Shoots lasers (low damage.)
  856. - He punches several times in front of him while walking (high damage, can OHK
  857. you even with a Painkiller.)
  858. - Jumps and tries to land on you, pretty much like the Berserkers (rarely
  859. does damage, but be careful.)
  860. - Charges towards you (high damage.)
  861. - Stomps the ground making a little quake around himself (moderate damage.)
  862. - He starts jumping around while trying to hit you (moderate damage.)
  863. - Balor's Eye: Odin's Psypher attack. He can absorb Phozons (and get a little
  864. heal), and he either bounces it around or put a frontal attack (both hurt
  865. extremely badly.)
  866.  
  867. As aforementioned, you will need a Painkiller to get through this fight easily
  868. (since Odin is the first real run-killer.) This is also why the fight will be
  869. so much easier by accompanying the Painkiller by an Overload before pummeling
  870. him.
  871.  
  872. So, aside from killing everything, there's also the matter of how to avoid his
  873. onslaught. You can damage boost through his lasers (visual cue is when he
  874. looks in pain, his hand on the head.) However, I suggest to avoid everything
  875. else, pretty much. If he's preparing to swing his fists (visual cue: stance;
  876. audio cue: hurling), either glide behind him, or if you can afford it (and/or
  877. a Valkyrie is besides him), use a Phozon Burst: it will stagger him and
  878. prevent him from attacking.
  879. When he's absorbing phozons with Balor's Eye, you have two choices on how to
  880. handle the situation:
  881. - You flee after hitting him a couple times and avoid anything that can kill
  882. you until he does his attack.
  883. - You damage boost through it using Napples (the Level Up animation will make
  884. you damage boost through his attack, but you need good timing not to die.)
  885. For the other attacks, you can just do likewith the Berserker and the Unicorn.
  886.  
  887. The fight takes two minutes at worst. The rest of the run will be much faster.

  957. The Vulcan isn't a difficul mid-boss, but she has a few attacks that can kill
  958. you fairly easily thanks to the low HP you have:
  959.  
  960. - Thrust: thrusts her sword in front of her (moderately high damage.)
  961. - Summon: summons 5 Fire Spirits around her (you can easily get around that.)
  962. - Lava Pillars: sticks her sword in the ground and 3 sets of fire pillars
  963. appear from the ground (very high damage, to avoid.)
  964.  
  965. Use a Painkiller and Overload and try to kill her as quickly as possible.

  1020. Leventhan is free... if not for this hecking Molten Rock dude.
  1021. He doesn't have that many attacks:
  1022.  
  1023. - He charges in front of him (like most bosses and mid-bosses, very high damage
  1024. output, but easily avoidable since he's small.)
  1025. - Attacks with his tail (moderate damage.)
  1026. - Small beam: He emits a small beam from his mouth. You can block this of jump
  1027. over it (high damage, easily avoidable.)
  1028. - Large beam: He charges and emits a very large beam, damaging you several
  1029. times (unblockable and insta-death material.)
  1030.  
  1031. Use Overload and stay behind him. If you're afraid of the Molten Rock, you can
  1032. use a Photon Burst on them so they get hit both. Also, keep your POW at bay,
  1033. because if you kill a Rock and you can't move, you're dead.
  1034.

  1170. shoot around and summons reinforcements. Alone, she isn't that much of a
  1171. threat, but her aides are what makes this battle annoying.
  1172.  
  1173. The strategy is using the combo Painkiller + Overload, as always, and try to
  1174. assault her as much as you can. If you see all fairies in range of your Phozon
  1175. Burst, use it and recover your POW from the phozons, then assault her again.
  1176.  
  1177. If you haven't used your Napples yet, perfect: this is the perfect time to get
  1178. a few Level Up damage boosts.

  1253. speedrun and we have enough preps to get him to die quickly. he was a few

  1311.  
  1312. Here are her attacks:
  1313.  
  1314. - Dual Scythe: She backflips and creates a double scythe (very high damage but
  1315. easily avoidable.)
  1316. - Spikes: She creates spikes in front of her. She uses this attack when you're
  1317. attacking her from the front, which will be a lot in a speedrun.
  1318. - Spider Grip: She turns into an orb, disappears and appears on top of you,
  1319. grabbing you with spider legs (very high damage, but easily avoidable if you
  1320. stick away from her.)
  1321. - Spider: She makes a head and legs of a spider appear under her. Make sure to
  1322. be in-between her and her legs so you can attack her. During this move, she
  1323. heals herself.
  1324.  
  1325. Same old strat: Painkiller + Overload, then CQC and Phozon Burst if there are
  1326. too many enemies swarming you.
  1327. Heal while necessary, and use damage-boosting moves (Napple Level Up) if you
  1328. still can.
  1329.  
  1330. Other than that, she's a pretty free boss. The battle should be done in a
