Breath of Fire I WT (J)

Breath of Fire

Platform: Snes / SFC
Released (d.m.y):
 03.04.1993 (J)
 10.08.1994 (NA)

Based on: NTSC-J-version (SHVC-BF)



- The game doesn't track your play time. Consider tracking it manually.
- Technically, physical damage is (ATP/(target DFP*x/100))r, where x
depends on how far you are into the game (10 initially, 8 after crossing
the Windia bridge, 6 after fighting Muscle, 4 after fighting Tentacles,
2 after obtaining the Shounindama, and 1 after Nina rejoins).
- A more practical formula (for damage dealt) would be ATP*Def/xr.
 - Def is 100/DFP.
 - r is the random variable: 0,8; 0,9; 1,0; 1,1; or 1,2.
- Critical hits deal double damage.
- A subject deals 1,3125x physical damage when below 1/8 HP.
- Three characters are able to counter physical attacks: Ryuu (1/16),
Danku (1/8) and Mogu (5/32). Counters can occur even if an attack is
evaded.
- Defending reduces physical damage by 22% in the front row and 30% in
the back row. Enemies can't defend.
- Being in the back row reduces physical damage received by an amount
that varies depending on the attack (such as 16% or 4%). Physical damage
dealt is also reduced by making the 1,1 and 1,2 random variables less
likely to be used, thus reducing damage output by roughly 10%. Ranged
weapons, such as bows and boomerangs, are unaffected. Enemies don't have
rows.

- Stats:
   Tsuyosa    | Base ATP (Kougekiryoku)
   Stamina    | Base DFP (Bougyoryoku)
   Subayasa   | Base Act (Koudouryoku), Magic Defense
   Kashikosa  | Base Wisdom (Chiryoku), Magic Defense
   Un no Yosa | Base Fate (Unsei) (critical hit rate)

- The above five stats max out at 255.
- ATP and DFP max out at 511.
- ACT = Agility - Equipment weight. Act determines turn order (with no
random variation), evade rate, and chance to escape. When escaping, the
game only checks the Act of the first character (alive or not).
- Wisdom affects the hit rate of status ailments.
- Magic Defense (Tokubouryoku) = Act/4+Wisdom*0,75. Magic Defense only
comes into play when defending. Specifically, it multiplies magical damage
by (515-MDF)/600.

- Magic deals fixed base damage. When magic is used during battle, it
doesn't actually display the name of the spell, but rather it describes
the effect.
- Characters casting healing or support magic will act first during a
given round.
- Hitting an elemental weakness increases damage by 50%. The elements
are: Fire (F), Ice (I), Thunder (T), Light (L), Dark (D), Anti-Air (A),
and 'Crush' (C).
- I've only listed elemental weaknesses (W:) for bosses.
- Most enemies indeed have an elemental affinity, in which case their
physical attacks and special attacks carry that element.
- Equipment that provides elemental resistance will reduce damage from
the element by 25%. However, different pieces of equipment cannot provide
protection to multiple elements simultaneously, as the element check
processes equipment in order of shield, body armor, and helmet, and the
first element detected is the only one that counts.
 × Equipment can only provide resistance to Fire, Ice, Thunder, and Light.
- Inventory: 48 (later 63) slots | Storage: 126 slots.
- You can carry at most 999 999 Zenny. This is also the max amount you
can deposit to storage.
- 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.
- Level up gains are randomized to an extent.
- The game doesn't tell you how much Exp is needed for the next level.
- Exp is equally divided among all living party members, including the
ones in the reserve.
- You receive an Experience and Zenny bonus if you finish a battle in
fewer than 7 rounds (at most a 50% bonus for a single round victory).
- Enemies in BoF1 have no equipment drops whatsoever.

Item: 300 Z					\\\ Draguniiru ||
Item (nc): Stamina no Moto (Artifact)
Default (Ryuu Lv1): Tanken, Ki no Tate, Nuno no Manto (Unique),
 Mugiwaraboushi (Unique)
Shop:
 Tanken			  50 Z		Mamorikemuri		   9 Z
 Yamagatana		 400 Z		Yakusou			   9 Z
 Boro			  10 Z		Dokukeshi		  13 Z
 Kawa no Manto		 240 Z		Bemu no Namida		  18 Z

 Ki no Tate		 300 Z		Kitsukeyaku		 450 Z
 Hairband		1000 Z		Rifuru Ekisu		1800 Z
 Silk no Fuku		2800 Z

- Grab the Stamina no Moto from the drawer as soon as you gain control.
You can't get it later.
- There's only a small, limited number of stat boosters to be found, and
they only increase a stat by 1.
- Buy a Kawa no Kata-ate. You'll get a good weapon in the first dungeon,
so no need to buy one.
- Buy a bunch of Herbs and a few Antidotes and level up before you head
north to Kantabel.
 × A Ringo heals 60 HP vs. the 50 HP of a Yakusou, but it costs so much
 more, making it a terrible waste of your money.
- You can rest by talking to the old woman.
- In the settings, you can change the Confirm and Cancel buttons (I use
Y for Confirm) as well as set hotkeys for different sub-menus (or just
the main menu). I set Menu to X, Inventory to L, Magic to R and Switch
to A.
- You can leave the menu instantly by pressing the Menu button.

Enemies:           HP   Def     Exp    Z        \\\ Kantabel Region ||
 Slime          |  12 | 833% |    1 |   3 |

 Billbull       |  20 | 833% |    3 |   4 |

- After a battle, there's a chance that animals will spawn in the over-
world. You'll soon be able to hunt them for healing items. Even before
that, it's possible to kill deers if you get them cornered and just wait
(I guess they die from a heart attack or something). Boars can also be
killed in a similar way, but you need to trap them in a dead end, which
you often won't even have a chance to do.
- Ryu's field ability is fishing (which is mostly done in wells found
on the overworld), but it's not very useful until later in the game.

down the boss.

Shop:
 Iron Rapier (Artifact)	1800 Z
 Long Sword		2250 Z
 Kawa no Tate (Artifact) 135 Z
 Hairband		 900 Z
 Silk no Fuku		2520 Z

- You will no longer have access to this area once you complete the
events here.
- You can only enter Nanai at night and, even then, you'll have to
keep a distance to the guards.
- You get 10% off all items in the armory, but you also get 10% less
for any items you sell.
- Iron Rapier, Long Sword, Hairband = 4950 Z
- The three seemingly elemental stones can be used during battle to
deal fixed, non-elemental damage.
 Fire Stone    | 40
 Tsumetai Ishi | 60
 Thunder Stone | 80

[Boss]
- 342+48 HP, 333% Def, 700 xp, 500 Z

- After the battle, remove the key from the pedestal and use the
teleporter. If you wait for a while after getting the key, you'll get
a message saying that you'll get a game over if you hang around for
too long, so don't do that.
- You can use the Daichi no Kagi in battle to damage all enemies for
30 pod.

						\\\ Windia ||
Items: Yakusou, Yakusou, Dokukeshi, Yakusou, Kawa no Tate (Artifact),
 Kawa no Boushi, Yakusou, Dokukeshi
Item (nc): Stamina no Moto (Artifact)
PC: Nina Lv5
Default (Nina): Short Rapier, Oujo no Fuku
Shop:
 Seidou no Ken		 700 Z		Chiryoku no Mi		 30 Z
 Bronze Rapier		 800 Z		Ofuda			150 Z
 Kawa no Boushi		 200 Z
 Kawa no Fuku		 500 Z
 Hachigane		 800 Z
 Kusarikatabira		2000 Z

- Kudamono: 40 HP  | Sakana: 10 HP
- This is the first time you have access to the storage (azukariya).
Drop off any money and items you won't need immediately.
- You probably won't have the money to buy the Kusarikatabira, but you
can fairly easily fix that by heading to the cave west. The guards
won't let you farther into the cave, but you still have enough room to
get into encounters. You can easily end the battles in one round with
the Earth Key. Make sure you sort your inventory, so that it's easily
available at the top of the list.
- De-equip your Kote for Nina. If you already sold your Ki no Tate,
she'll have to make do with the Kawa no Tate (and, later, Bandage).
- Once you're prepared, head inside the castle, and talk to the queen.
After some dialog, you'll find yourself in control of Nina while Ryuu
is taking a break.
- Her default equipment is quite modest (get used to that), which is
exactly why I told you to buy that stuff from Nanai (Iron Rapier,
Hairband), although it's not that big a deal if you missed it.
- Her initial spells include: Ririfu, Katekuto, Yakuri.
- Note that Nina starts off in the back row.
- Nina levels up much faster than other characters between Lv29-46.

						\\\ Kantabel ||
Items (nc): Kaishintan, Parotein (Artifact), Subayakusou (Artifact),
 Datenshi no Kiss, Miso no Moto (Artifact)
- You can pick up some new items here now.
- The item shop here give you a 20% discount, so feel free to pick
up some Chiryoku no Mis. Just don't sell anything here.
- Plus, resting at the inn will only cost you 1 Zenny.

						\\\ Aura no Doukutsu ||
Items: Rifuru Ekisu, Tekkouseki (Unique, Temp), 70 Z, Kawa no Fuku,
 150 Z, Yakusou, Yakusou, Thunder Stone, Tsumetai Ishi
TPCs: Heishi 1 Lv8, Heishi 2 Lv8
Default (Heishi 1 / 2): Yari, Kawa no Tate, Kawa no Fuku, Kawa no Boushi
- Two nameless Windia soldiers will join your party here. They are only
temporary, so don't bother getting them any new equipment or anything.
They won't even gain any levels.
- Heishi 2 is the fastest of the three characters (at least until Nina
gets a level and a new armor), so he's the one who should be using the
Earth Key initially.
- You'll need the Tekkouseki to obtain another key item a little later
in the game.

						\\\ Romero ||
Items (nc): Rakki no Eda (Artifact), Mahou no Chizu (Unique), Abunai Kusuri
Shop:
 Short Rapier		 400 Z
 Seidou no Tate		 500 Z
 Seidou no Kabuto	1200 Z
 Tight Mini		2000 Z
 Silk no Fuku		2800 Z

- Jump into the hole in one of the houses, and examine the area under
the barrel to find the Mahou no Chizu, which allows you to display the
world map by pressing Start (only usable on the overworld).
- Seidou no Kabuto + Tight Mini = 3200 Z.
- Keep in mind, if Nina's the lead character and she's equipped with the
Tight Mini, you'll attract encounters more frequently (I wonder why).

						\\\ Karma Forest ||
Items: Bushin no Tamashii (Artifact), Yakusou, Bandage (Unique),
 Yakusou, 150 Z, Miso no Moto (Artifact), Yakusou, Subayakusou (Artifact)
Lost & Found: Datenshi no Kiss / Kitsukeyaku (Spider)
Enemies:           HP   Def     Exp    Z
 Spider         |  40 | 500% |   20 |  24 |

- Note that you can eat the mushrooms here. Red ones are good (+10 HP),
yellow ones are bad (-10 HP). They won't even despawn; you can use them
as many times as you want.
- The Bushin no Tamashii is completely hidden behind the very first tree.
- One of the Herbs is also completely hidden behind a tree (near the Bandage).
- Next up is the Miso no Moto (again completely hidden), which unfortunately
isn't close to anything in particular other than one of the crossroads.
- And, finally, the Subayakusou is hidden behind one of the trees near the
exit.
- The Datenshi no Kiss can be used during battle and has a chance of
causing instant death. You should probably just sell them for 100 Z each.

						\\\ Karma no Tou ||
Items: Yakusou, Yakusou, Tsuki no Shizuku, Tsuki no Shizuku, Ofuda,
 Rifuru Ekisu, Ofuda, Yakusou, Bannouyaku, Rifuru Ekisu, Saber (Unique)
TPC: Heishi 3 Lv8
Default (Heishi 3): Yari, Kawa no Tate, Kawa no Fuku, Kawa no Boushi
Bosses: Teshita Uzoo, Teshita Muzoo, Mahoutsukai
- You'll find two healing springs on the first floor.
- You'll fight Uzoo on the first floor and Muzoo on the third.
- On the second floor, go clockwise (to find two items), then counter-
clockwise. On the third, go counter-clockwise, then clockwise. Get the
last item on the third floor (by the four holes), then jump down the
right hole on the second floor.
- The Bannouyaku fully restores a single character (dead or alive).
These are ideal for healing AP, but if you're in a sticky situation,
you can certainly use one for reviving as well (Nina can start reviving
characters with full HP once she hits Lv34). You'll never be able to
buy these, but you'll find a bunch of them on the field, and there are
a few enemies that can drop them.

[Boss: Uzoo]
- 113+ 7 HP,  185% Def, 280 xp, 200 Z
- Casting Giigan on the soldiers helps speed things up.

[Boss: Muzoo]
- 202+28 HP,  156% Def, 280 xp, 200 Z

- There's no way you can win the first or second battle with the wizard.
Once the event is over, you'll switch back to Ryuu, who will get a ride
to the top of the tower. You'll also be briefly assisted by Heishi 3.
- The Saber is in the same room as the wizard. Grab it before fighting him.
The Saber hits all targets, so it's a good choice for normal battles. For
bosses, you should switch to a single-target weapon, as they're usually
stronger.

[Boss: Mahoutsukai]
- 169+11 HP, 417% Def, 1000 xp, 700 Z

- The Gedokuyaku doesn't actually show up in your inventory.

- After the event in Windia, you're free to travel east across the bridge
(accessed through the basement of the castle). Go pick up another
Kusarikatabira for Bo first, though.

Items: Yakusou, Seidou no Kabuto		\\\ Kyojin ||
- Find the Stone Robot in the northeast.
- Nothing else you can do here yet aside from getting these two chests.
The Killer Helms hit pretty hard, so keep your HP at full.

Shop:
 Short Bow		1000 Z
 Sorimi no Ken		1200 Z
 Bandana		 400 Z
 Kawa no Yoroi		 750 Z

- You'll find two little villages by the dried river. The western one
is Tataar, and the eastern one is Totoor.
- Buy a Short Bow.
- Give the Tekkouseki to the blacksmith here to receive the Nokogiri.
You'll need it to access the Nageki no Mori northwest from here. Within
the forest, you'll find a fortress belonging to the Dark Dragon Clan
(Kokuryuu-zoku).

Items (nc): Rifuru Ekisu, Yakusou		\\\ Totoor ||
- Buy some Bemu no Namidas.

Party: Ryuu Lv12, Nina Lv10			\\\ Nageki no Mori ||

Item (nc): Shiroshika no Tsuno
PC: Gilliam Lv8 (Bo)
Default (Bo): Bronze Bow (Unique), Kawa no Kata'ate, Kawa no Boushi
Bosses: Pochi, Shougun b
Enemies:           HP   Def     Exp    Z
 Lizardman      |  35 | 250% |   60 |  45 |
 Orc            |  50 | 417% |  160 |  80 |
 Killer Helm    |  55 | 333% |   80 |  40 |

- The Inugami no Kabuto increases the damage you receive from certain
attacks, so I don't recommend using it.
- Check your equipment before you fight the three guards, as you won't
have the chance to go to the menu between that and the two bosses.

[Boss]
- 229+51 HP, 250% Def, 1400 xp, 800 Z
- It's possible to skip this battle by repeatedly saying no to the chief.
 |
[Boss]
- 160+90 HP, 250% Def, 1200 xp, 300 Z
- Gilliam, aka Bo, joins here.

- Bo's spells: Padamu, Baru, Rei, Barura, Padaama, Reiga, Ririfu (Lv15).
- Most of Gilliam's weapons are two-handed (ryouteyou).
- Gilliam has two field abilities: hunting and walking through forests.
His bow shot has four tiles of range.
- The items you can obtain by hunting can be quite useful. You should
keep Gilliam in the lead when moving in the overworld. Your lead character
is in the middle of a 3x3 tile zone, and if an animal gets within that
zone, they'll be startled.
 × Deer: Shika no Tsuno - Cures poison (same as Dokukeshi, but sells
  for 50 Z)
 × Boar: Genshiniku - Heals 70 HP (all)
 × Bird: Yakitori - Heals 150 HP (all)
 × White Deer: Shiroshika no Tsuno - Heals 100 AP (can't be stacked,
  sells for 1500 Z)
- Check the floor in the northeast corner in the area after the boss
for a hidden item (just move around while holding Confirm - it doesn't
matter which direction you're facing). You'll need one Shiroshika no
Tsuno for a story event later, so better put it in storage.

						\\\ Totoor ||
- Talk to the elder / chief / whatever.

Items: Klein no Tsubo (Unique), Yakusou		\\\ Romero ||
- Enter Romero at night, and go talk to the elder (sonchou). Then
talk to the old woman at the graveyard to gain access to the jar.
- Find the Cleansing Water Cave southwest from Romero. Don't go too far
west, though, or you'll start running into some pretty tough enemies.

						\\\ Cleansing Water Cave ||
Items: Yakusou, Yakusou, Kirei na Boushi, Fire Stone, Yakusou,
 Bemu no Namida, Seidou no Kabuto, Ringo
Item (nc): n× Klein no Tsubo! [Yasuragi no Mizu]
Enemies:           HP   Def     Exp    Z
 Slug           |  50 | 714% |   40 |  20 |
 Magician       |  85 | 625% |  140 |  70 |
 Green Blob     |  75 | 250% |   60 |  45 |

- Fill your tsubo with water on the bottom level to receive the Yasuragi
no Mizu. When used, it fully restores your entire party, and you can
come back and refill it as many times as you want. The first shot goes
to Romero, though, so you can help them out with their zombie situation.

						\\\ Romero ||
Items: Nazo no Sekiban (Unique), Yakusou, Dokukeshi, 900 Z, Rifuru Ekisu
- With the help of the Nazo no Sekiban, you can now enter Agua, the
structure on the nearby floating island.

Boss: Guardian
- The Steel Bow is inside an undetectable hole in the wall on the
fifth floor.

[Boss]
- 730 HP, 167% Def, 1200 xp, 300 Z

- Examine the pillar after the battle to obtain the Ou no Kagi.

- There will be no more encounters once you start the heart.
- Find the giant's main control room by going through the teleporters.

Items: Yakusou, Hokora no Kagi (Unique)		\\\ Tataar ||

- 600+600 HP, 125% Def, 1400 xp, 800 Z
- His defense is so high Giigan doesn't really help much, but it's still
something.

- Overworld theme 2

Item: Max Melon (Artifact)			\\\ Ryuu no Shinden ||
Special: Snow Puppy, Fire Puppy, Thunder Puppy
Boss: Saint Mail
- As you travel south past the river, you'll come across the first
dragon shrine. Complete the trial within to obtain the first set of
Ryuu's transformation spells. Although this is completely optional,
and you can hold it off for as long as you want, keep in mind that
you'll get the bad ending if you don't clear all four of them.
- The Max Melon heals 100% HP.

[Boss]
- 700 HP, 100% Def, 400 xp, 190 Z
- Solo with Ryuu.

- When transformed, Ryuu deals fixed damage (100 (I) / 115 (F) / 130
(T) with the first three, double with critical). Particularly useful
when a boss has high DFP.

- South of the shrine, you'll find a little area with a man running
around in a circle (well, technically, square). Make sure you talk to
him, as this will initiate a little side quest.

 Gorgeous Mail (Artif.) 3300 Z

- Examine the northeast corner of the cell to find the Shuujin Fuku.
- You'll have to avoid the guards once again (or at least one of them).
- Make sure you sell your unwanted items (the Kin no Tiara in particular)
in the item shop, so you'll get 30% extra.
- Broad Sword, (Longbow) = 5500 Z
 × You'll save about 800 Z if you get the new weapons from Yami instead.
- The equipment shop will become unavailable soon, and some of the gear
can't be bought anywhere else.
- A guy in the bar asks for a Futsukayoigusuri. Give him one, and he'll
give you 5000 Z.
- Talk to the ship captain at the docks.
- There's an old man on the second floor of the house with a chest you
can't open. Talk to him with Nina and you'll receive 20 000 Z.
- In the house across the street, you'll find the mother of the guy
who'd been cutting trees in the forest north (you know, the one who
couldn't stop running around). Here's how to finish the quest:
 × Talk to the mother
 × Go talk to the fairies in the forest (better use Nina's Hyuuru to
  make traveling easier)
 × Go talk to the fairies and the man in the clearing
 × Return to the mother for your reward (20k)
- Talk to Rozuoota in his manor. At this point, you should be able to
travel through the cave east. Before you leave, though, you'll have to
pick up a Kin no Nobebou. You *will* need this item in order to progress
(you'll actually need two of them, but you can pick up the second one
for free).
- Don't miss the two chests on the second floor of Rozuoota's place.
- One more time: BUYING A GOLD BAR IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.
- If you still have some money left after that, feel free to get a
Himotsuki Saifu as well. It'll pay itself back once you get to the
next town.

- Jagaimo: -5 HP
- The innkeeper will let you rest for free. If you have the Himotsuki
Saifu, you'll catch him trying to steal from you during the night. He'll
then give you 5000 Z to forget about it. He won't try it again, so you
can sell the Saifu afterwards.
- Hagane no Tate + Keori no Robe = 6400 Z
- Trade the Kin no Nobebou for the Koori no Sensu with the old man in
the north-most building. Without it, you won't be able to reach Dune
through the southwest cave (you'll be stopped at the exit).

 × Black Mist: -50 MP
 × Bikkubon: Death

[Boss]
- 1400+200 HP, 143% Def, 2800 xp, 2800 Z

- Danku / Karn will join your party soon after the boss. His (current)
field abilities allow him to open locked doors, disarm traps on chests
and detect trap floors.
- The Skull Face increases the damage you receive from certain attacks,
so better not use it.
- Once you get the Hiden no Sho, you're supposed to head for the tower
near Yami, but you should go claim some new items in previous areas
first.

						\\\ Windia ||
Items: Burning Rapier (Unique), Hade na Bandana (Artifact),

- You can use the Burning Rapier during battle to deal 90 pod to a
single target. Despite what the name suggests, the weapon is actually
non-elemental.

Item: Yougan no Tate (Unique)			\\\ Pasura no Ukishima ||
Items (nc): Inochi no Yoroi (Unique), Ice Dagger (Unique)
- You can find the Inochi no Yoroi and Ice Dagger in front of the

gear to Gobi later.

[Boss]

- Again, examine the pillar after the battle to obtain the key.

again. Once you have the Light Key, head to the docks.

[Boss]
- 450 HP, 167% Def. 3360 xp, 2180 Z in total.

- After the battle, trade the Gold Bar with the maniro for the Bakudan.
Use it in the cave north of Hikari to access the Dark Dragon Ship.

Deposit all your money and prepare some gear for Gobi (Tsunokabuto,
Yougan no Tate).

						\\\ Hikari no Machi ||
- Once prepared, return to Auria and talk to the captain to set sail
for... something. Doesn't matter. Suffice to say, you never reach your
destination.

Boss: Tentacles					\\\ Dark Dragon Ship ||

Default (Maniro): Yari (Unique), Seidou no Yoroi, Seidou no Kabuto

- You'll find yourself in control of Maniro / Gobi, who has to go solo
for a while.
- Maniro's spells: Iwashi, Iwashitaigun, Katsuo (Lv16), Katsuotaigun (Lv17).
These can only be used underwater.
- Maniro's field ability allows him to travel underwater. He can also
set up his own shop in Makka and Tunlan, which allows you to obtain some
rare and powerful items you won't find anywhere else.
- Your next destination is Makka / Prima due west underwater. You can
easily get there by getting a game over.
- Battle theme 2

- The Tsunami no Kabuto can be found in front of the dresser on the
second floor of the inn closest to the entrance.
 × While the TideHT has 0 DFP, it grants you immunity to instant death
 spells.
- There are quite a few shops here, as you can see. You can even
rename your characters here.
- Yoroikui no Ken, Buster Rapier, Ranger Vest, Harisenbon,
3x Ice Shields (Danku, Maniro, Ox), 3x Tsunokabutos (Danku, Maniro, Ox),
= 79 800 Z
 × Feel free to save the Buster Rapier for later. You can pick it up
 for about half the price in phase 2 of the free market.
- Once you're done shopping (I'll talk about the free market a little
later), go talk to the guild master, then head south to dry land, and
follow the path to Guntz. (If you try to go there without consulting
the guild master first, you will be denied entrance)

 Barracuda      | 140 |  83% |  560 | 150 |

- Gobi can only really handle the enemies by using Iwashi Taigun (50 pod
to all) and/or the Burning Rapier. Even so, forget about leveling him
up. Just push through and get your party back. At least the enemies on
land don't pose a threat.

						\\\ Guntz ||
Item: Shouhin (Unique, Temp)

 Tsunotsuno Hammer	27 000 Z
 Hagane no Uroko	  2700 Z
 Tetsukabuto		  6300 Z
 Hagane no Yoroi	  8100 Z

- The Sunadokei allows you to switch between day and night (infinite uses).
- Senshi no Yari + Tsunotsuno Hammer = 33 750 Z
- Ox could use a Hagane no Yoroi, but I suggest you try and pick it up in
the free market.

Items (nc): Tsukeera, 5000 / 5500 / 6000 Z	\\\ Makka ||
- Return to the guild master with the Goods, and he'll present you
with the Gills (Tsukeera). Gobi will then ask him for some money.

						\\\ Deserted Island ||
- Now that you have the Gills, your entire party can travel underwater.
- You can't warp to or from underwater.
- Before taking care of the boss, you might want to go pick up the
Snipe Bow from the Submarine Volcano (it's the closest chest to the
entrance).

PC: Builder Lv16 [Birudaa] (Ox)			\\\ Makka ||
Default (Ox): Kizuchi, Seidou no Yoroi, Kawa no Tate
Special: Inventory upgrade (+15)
Boss: Shinigami

[Boss]
- 756+744 HP, 185% Def, W:FL, 3200 xp, 3000 Z
- Use Nina's Desupu or Hadesu for Light-elemental damage.

- Ox ("Builder?") will join the party after the battle. His field
ability allows him to take out weakened walls and boulders, and he
can also punch trees to make Pokemon fall off (or something). He's
not strong enough to push heavy objects, though.
 × Ringo, Wadayashi no Mi
- Ox also knows a couple of spells: Topurifu, Yakuri
- At this point, you will also receive the inventory upgrade, which
boosts the number of slots from 48 to 63 (3x21).

						\\\ Pasura no Ukishima ||
Items: 3000 Z, Kitsukeyaku, Bannouyaku, Gin no Udewa (Artifact)
- Apparently, the Gin no Udewa lowers the encounter rate, but only if
it's worn by the lead character.
- We won't be having any more business in Pasura for a while, so feel
free to store the Nazo no Sekiban.

Items: Subayakusou, Rakki no Eda		\\\ Yami Cave ||

Item (nc): Furui Boomerang (Unique, Temp)	\\\ Nusubito no Haka ||
- This is probably the last time you need to visit the tomb, so feel
free to store the Touzoku no Fue at this point.

Special: Cheyenne				\\\ Guntz ||
- The old man in the hidden room will teach Danku a union ability
(gattai no uryoku). Being fused prevents Danku from using his native
field abilities, while the other characters involved are completely
unavailable.
 × Cheyenne: fuses Dan with Gilliam and Maniro. In this form, he / they
 (?) can use Gilliam's field abilities with an improved hunting ability
 (shot is faster and covers 5 tiles). Oh, and his HP is tripled and the
 damage he deals is multiplied by 1,7. Danku also takes more physical
 damage when fused (+30-70%, depending on the form), but the HP boost
 more than makes up for it.

						\\\ Submarine Volcano ||
Items: Snipe Bow (Unique), 3000 Z, Tsuki no Shizuku, 2000 Z,
 Bakuretsu Knife, Yakusou
- (North of Makka)
- If you already got the Snipe Bow earlier, you don't really need to
come back for the rest of the items. You can just get them when you're
actually supposed to come here.
- The Sea Blobs can get rather dangerous, what with their Ikazuchi dealing
95 pod. It can hit your entire party if the lead character is targeted.
- The Snipe Bow is the first of the two single-handed (katateyou)
weapons Gilliam can use.

						\\\ Makka ||
- And now would be a good time to have a look at the Free / Flea Market,
which is currently at Phase 1 (you only have to go through a few more
dungeons to reach Phase 2).
- Go to the largest building in Makka, the one with the empty counter.
With Maniro in the lead, approach the counter from behind, press Confirm,
and you're in action. You will then be approached by random fish dudes,
who will offer to either buy or sell an item (or items). When you refuse
an offer, there's a chance they'll give you a better offer. At best, this
can happen twice per customer.
- The starting price is always 60% of what it would cost in a regular
store (although, as I've mentioned, very few of these items are available
in stores). You can haggle it to as low as 35%, but this rarely happens.
- When selling an item, the initial offer is always 50% of what it would
sell for in a regular store. In other words, don't bother selling anything
here. It's not a good idea.
- It will take quite a while to get everything you need. In order to speed
things up, go deposit all your items into the storage (or at least the ones
that can be sold).
- You can use the Thunder Rapier during battle to deal 80 pod to a single
target. Again, the weapon is actually non-elemental.
- The Tenshi no Muneate is close to the best armor for Nina and Bleu.
In addition to having great stats (76/3), it also reflects 50% of any magical
damage the character receives. There are a couple of stronger and lighter
ones which you won't be picking up anytime soon, but once you do, feel
free to use those instead if you feel that you have no need for reflect.

 Magician Mummy | 200 | 333% |  600 | 200 |

- Travel west from Makka to reach this place.
- The Kodama no Boushi reflects some (1/8) of the magical damage the
wearer receives. Give it to Nina.
- You'll fight the boss as soon as you go down the stairs at the other end.

[Boss]
- 1871+429 HP, 100% Def, 6000 xp, 1500 Z

Item (nc): Boomerang (Unique)			\\\ Guntz ||
- Talk to the elder, and he'll fix your Boomerang for you (you know,
the Furui Boomerang you picked up in the Thieves' Tomb?).
- Now, head east to the Boomerang guy and show it to him.

Item (nc): Ooki na Tamago			\\\ Cockatrice Forest ||
Boss: Cockatrice
- This is north from the fortress.

[Boss]
- 1250+750 HP, 200% Def, W:I, 4200 xp, 4800 Z

- After getting the egg, slowly lead one of the birds out of the forest.
If it's no longer with you when you get to the overworld, you have to
go back and try again. Assuming one of them follows you out of the
forest, you'll be able to enter the castle now.

						\\\ Nabal no Shiro ||
Items: Magic Ring (Unique), Rifuru Ekisu
Items (nc): Bannouyaku, Dokuro no Yubiwa (Unique), Sokkou no Kutsu (Artifact)
- Search under the pots for the first two nc-items.
 × The Dokuro no Yubiwa gives you +10 DFP, but it might also make you
 more vulnerable to Instant Death.
- Unfortunately, you'll be teleported back to Makka after the fixed
encounter with the Slime Devil(s), so you'll have to walk all the way
back to get the two chests and the Sokkou no Kutsu, which is hidden at
the end of the pier.

Item (nc): Shugoshinzou (Unique, Temp)		\\\ Makka ||
- Talk to the sleeping guy on the second floor of the guild, then
check his bed to find the Shugoshinzou, which allows you to enter the
floating town near Dune.

						\\\ Samayoeru ||
Items: Kurabu Shield (Artifact), Yakusou, Kitsukeyaku, Bannouyaku,
 Oyaji no Yari, Kitsukeyaku, Gin no Udewa (Artifact), Yakusou,
 Koorerutonkachi (Unique), Kusarikatabira, Yakusou, Yakusou, Kurabu Shield
Item (nc): Furui Tamago (Unique, Temp)
Bosses: Guardian (Blue), Guardian (Red), Guardian (Blue)

- You can use the Koorerutonkachi in battle to deal 60 pod to a single
target.

 Sea Blob       | 400 | 250% |  640 | 240 |

- Throw the egg into the lava.
- Bleu's initial spells: Derudan, Padamu, Baru, Rei, Buure, Baisu, Mega,
Rekuta, Hyuuru, Waasu, Padaama, Barura, Reiga, Bureda, Maga.
- Deis has no field abilities.
- Bleu levels up faster than other characters (except Nina) up to Lv41.

Boss: Death Crab				\\\ Makka Region ||

[Boss]
- 380+620 HP, 50% Def, W:T, 4800 xp, 4800 Z

						\\\ Makka ||
Items: Seinaru Scarf (Unique), Shounindama (Unique)
- Go talk to the guild master to obtain the Seinaru Scarf and Shounindama.
The Shounindama gives Maniro a new field ability that allows him to turn
into giant fish. In this form, you can move more freely underwater.
- Having the Sphere also means that the flea market has reached Phase 2
(although you have to leave and re-enter Makka before it actually takes
effect).
- You should try to get two Ankoku no Knives; one for Danku (his ultimate
weapon), one for Ryu (it'll take quite a while before he finds anything
stronger).
- The Beast Lance is Gobi's ultimate weapon.
- I recommend getting three Speed no Kabutos. You can find two more
throughout the rest of the game.
- Oh, and if you still don't have two Tenshi no Muneates, they're still
there.

 Oujo no Fuku		   900 Z
 Soosaru Coat		  5400 Z
 Doushi no Coat		18 000 Z
 Kote			   880 Z

- Maniro can set up his shop here too (makes no difference in the end).
- You can't get any of the chests in the castle treasure room yet.
Make sure you pick up the Takumi no Sao, though. It's hidden under
the crate near the bed (after falling from the left side).
 × The Takumi no Sao is the only rod that allows you to obtain the
 Dragon gear.

Fish: Kokemusu Sekiban (Unique)			\\\ Tataar Region ||
- (NW of Tataar)
- In case you've never tried fishing before, simply equip the rod and
a bait, and you're good to go.
- The Kokemusu Sekiban doesn't actually have any real use.

Fish: Dragon Blade (Unique)			\\\ Romero Region ||
- (West of Romero)

Fish: Dragon Helm (Unique)			\\\ Dune Region ||
- (SW of Dune)

Item: Kaishinseki (Unique)			\\\ Ryuu no Shinden ||
Special: Snow Dragon, Fire Dragon, Thunder Dragon, Holy Dragon
Boss: Saint Elmo
- This shrine is west of Guntz.
- Requirements: Shrine 1 complete + Dragon Blade

[Boss]
- 1800 HP, 33% Def, 1020 xp, 360 Z
- Solo with Ryuu.

- Four new dragons: Snow (190, I), Fire (210, L), Thunder (225, T), Holy
(250, L, undead only). These and the subsequent dragon transformations
hit all enemies at once.

Enemies:           HP   Def     Exp    Z        \\\ Kaze Region ||

 Oyaji no Yari		  6000 Z
 Gaia no Men		  8000 Z
 Flame Shield		12 000 Z
 Earth Mail		22 000 Z

- Get an Earth Mail for Ox. Flame Shields for active party members
are good too, but you should stick to the Ice Shields for now, since
you'll be taking a lot of fire damage in the next few dungeons.
- Fall through a hole in one of the houses to obtain Dan's second
fusion ability, Debo.
 × Fuses Dan with Maniro and Ox (triple HP, double damage). This form
 can only be used underwater.

						\\\ Kaze no Tani Dungeon ||
Items: Yakusou, Rifuraru Ekisu (Artifact), Rakki no Eda,
 Sugoi Sao (Unique), Yakusou
Enemies:           HP   Def     Exp    Z

 Housekibako    | 300 |  71% |  800 |3000 |
 Burning Eye    | 400 |  50% |  860 | 360 |

- The two chests in the mouse hole hold the Nezumi no Kusuri (left one)
and an herb (right one). The Nezumi no Kusuri will be used immediately,
so if you don't get the herb first, you're going to miss it (tragic).
- Bleu will leave the party for a while after fighting Kaizou Nikoru.

Item (nc): Kinbae (Unique, Temp)		\\\ Kaze no Mura ||
- Enter the cave on the west side and beat up the Gold Fly.

Item (nc): Kaeru no Shiru (Unique, Temp)	\\\ Kaeru no Doukutsu ||
- This place is east from Tunlan.
- Trade the Kinbae for the Kaeru no Shiru.

Item (nc): Meijin no Fue (Unique)		\\\ Kaze ||

- Take the Kaeru no Shiru to Bleu. After that, you can go beat up the
flower in the valley.

[Boss]
- 2538+ 362 HP, 100% Def, W:D, 3200 xp, 3000 Z

- Go check back with Bleu, and you'll have to beat up Kaizou Nikoru
again. Afterwards, Bleu will rejoin the party, and the bridge in the
valley will be fixed. As you try to cross it, however, you will be
attacked by Kyura.
- Check the bed in one of the houses to find the Meijin no Fue.

[Boss]

 Mage Reaper    | 200 | 167% |  280 |  90 |
 Kuromudende    | 200 | 125% |  700 | 300 |

- Mage Reapers can cast Waasu (Instant Death). You'll also encounter
them in the two dungeons after Mogu's dream.

Enemies:           HP   Def     Exp    Z        \\\ Haru Region ||
 Hell Lancer    | 320 | 143% |  480 | 240 |
 Sarracenia     | 700 |  83% | 1800 | 600 |

						\\\ Haru no Mura ||
Items (nc): Sokkou no Kutsu (Artifact), Yakusou
Shop: Bakuretsu Knife - 5500 Z, Quartz Chest - 10 000 Z
- The Quartz Chest seems to be the strongest body armor Danku can wear.
Hey, at least it gives you Thunder and Light resistance (with a non-
elemental shield).

						\\\ Ongaku no Kuni ||
Items: Tsuki no Shizuku, Max Melon, Max Melon, Therapy no Makura (Unique)
- We have some time specific events to take care of here (you still
have your Sunadokei, don't you?).
- Talk to the old woman in green (day / night).
- Talk to the princess (day).
- Spy on the princess through the plants while she's taking her evening
swim (night).
- And, finally, open the door to the treasure room.

						\\\ Gramor ||
- Be warned: once inside Mogu's Dream, you won't be able to leave
until you're finished.

						\\\ Kita no Tou ||
- All you need to do is go talk to the little kid hanging out by the
staircase (you can try and fight him, but you can't beat him yet). This
can be rather difficult, however, thanks to the invisible walls. If you
go counter-clockwise at the beginning, it will likely be much easier.
- Head back to the village and talk to the mole (Anima) waiting for you
outside. In town, talk to the other mole in the house where Anima is.
- You should now be able to reach the Poison Field.

						\\\ Poison Field ||
Items: Light Shield, Kitsukeyaku, Headgear (Artifact)
PC: Mogu Lv22
Default: Anahori no Tsume (Unique), Seidou no Yoroi
Enemies:           HP   Def     Exp    Z
 Death Rider    | 220 | 125% |  600 | 300 |
 Orc Master     | 280 | 100% | 1360 | 480 |

- Mogu will join the party after passing through the field. If you don't
really have any good gear for him, that's fine. He starts off with less
than 100 HP, so you shouldn't bother using him yet anyway.
- Most of Mogu's weapons are two-handed (ryouteyou).
- Mogu's field ability is digging.

Boss: Dreamer					\\\ Kita no Tou ||
- You'll have to make it all the way to the top this time (four floors).

[Boss]
- 3500 HP, 83% Def, 6000 xp, 8000 Z

- The dream will end after the battle.

Dig: Hori no Nekko (Unique, Temp)		\\\ Gramor Region ||
- Have Mogu dig in front of one of the strange plants near Gramor to
obtain the Hori no Nekko. You'll need this for a story event later.
You can't even get rid of it.

						\\\ Underground Chamber ||
Items: Rakki no Eda, Sokkou no Kutsu (Artifact), Stamina no Moto,
 Subayakusou
- This "dig mark" is east of where the Stone Robot originally was.

Special: Rankuru				\\\ Underground Chamber ||
- This one is north of Nanai.
- Here, you will receive Karn's third fusion spell, Rankuru.
 × Fuses Dan with Gilliam and Ox (triple HP, 2,5x dmg). In this form, you
 can push large, heavy objects (such as the ones found in Kaze and Yami).

Item (nc): Hahanaru Yoroi (Unique)		\\\ Kaze ||
- The Hahanaru Yoroi blocks seemingly all magical damage, while healing
the character slightly whenever hit by a spell. I'd actually recommend
against using it.

Item (nc): Niji no Hagoromo (Unique)		\\\ Yami ||
Special: Pukagyuru
- The Niji no Hagoromo is the strongest armor Nina and Bleu can wear
with 100 DFP and 0 WGT. Although these stats are impressive, the Tenshi
no Muneate is still a good choice because of the reflect auto-ability.
- Danku's final union spell, Pukagyuru, fuses him with Gilliam, Maniro
and Ox. In this form, he gets 4x HP, 2,5x dmg and has a chance of doing
a special rolling attack that does double dmg (and can still do criticals).
On the field, he can open the sealed doors with dragon symbols on them.
- Note that you can walk through the wall next to the old man's bed.
This will take you outside the house, whereas taking the stairs takes
you to the world map.
- If you use Puka, you'll have to choose between Mogu and Bleu as your
fourth party member. Until Mogu gets his HP up (say, above 200), you
should go with Bleu.

Item (nc): Koisuru Boushi (Artifact)		\\\ Ongaku no Kuni ||
- Talk to the woman with red hair as Puka, then check between the plants.

Item: Yoru no Udewa (Unique)			\\\ Sealed Chamber ||
- This one's near Hikari.

Item: Ai no Udewa (Unique)			\\\ Sealed Chamber ||
- This one is southwest of Kaze.
- The Ai no Udewa regenerates 1 HP per step on the field. Only female
characters can equip it, however.

						\\\ Ten no Tou ||
Items: Rifuraru Ekisu (Artifact), Sazae, Subayakusou, Daichi no Yoroi,
 Magma no Yoroi (Unique)
Item (nc): Bushin no Tamashii, Rifuraru Ekisu
Enemies:           HP    Def     Exp    Z
 Phoenix        |  240 | 167% |  720 | 360 |
 Jelly Golem    | 3000 | 143% | 1290 | 540 |
 Devil Ghost    | 2400 | 125% |  840 | 200 |

- Note that you can run into some pretty tough enemies in the first
area (Jelly Golem, Devil Ghost). Devil Ghost in particular is quite
dangerous, as it can deal 400 pod to a single target with Baruharaa.
Unfortunately, they don't give you exceptional amounts of Xp or anything.
You'll start running into them again at the end of the next dungeon as
well.
- The Magma no Yoroi is Mogu's strongest armor (outside of the Hahanaru
Yoroi).
- The hidden items are behind two of the pillars near the other staircase
on the bottom level.
- Once you're inside the actual tower, you'll find that each floor is
a large, open area with nothing there other than the two staircases.
Below you can see where the ascending staircases are.
 1F (grass)  | NE
 2F (rain)   | SW
 3F (desert) | SE
 4F (snow)   | NE
 5F (sky)    | SW
 6F (space)  | North
- If you want to leave, there are some openings on the second and fourth
floors that you can jump off of.
- As you try to pick up the key on the 6th floor, you'll be dragged into
Jigumuto's dream.

						\\\ Jigumuto's Tower ||
Items: Rifuruekisu, Crystal Bow (Unique), Rakki no Eda, Trident (Unique),
 Enmaku, Noroi no Kabuto (Unique), Full Face
Boss: Jigumuto
Enemies:           HP   Def     Exp    Z
 Metal Reaper   | 100 |  25% | 1680 | 400 |

- You'll start off in a town where you have access to basic town services
(no storage).
- You can use the Trident in battle to deal 95 pod to all enemies.
- The pot by the healing springs is actually a save point.
- In the next area, you'll be walking on a narrow path with some panels
that rotate the camera when you step on them. You can easily tell which
way you were coming from, since you'll still be facing in the same
direction after the rotation. However, there are many split paths, so
you'll still likely end up struggling. There are no items in this area.
 × Here's where you need to go in each intersection (from the character's
 point of view): straight, left, straight, left, straight, left.
- There's a hidden hole on the ground near the damaging yellow tiles
in one of the rooms. You'll have to find it in order to proceed (simply
stepping on it is enough).
- And, finally, there's a room with five staircases leading up, but
only one of them is real. Take the one on the bottom-right to reach
the boss.
- The remaining dungeons are nowhere near as hard, in case you're
wondering.

[Boss]
- 5628+3372 HP, 125% / 31% Def, W:A, 5400 xp, 6000 Z
- Physical attacks decrease his blurriness, whereas magical attacks
increase it. Magic does very limited damage initially. If you attack
him enough physically to the point where he's no longer blurred, his
defense will increase, but at the same time, magic will start doing
normal damage (at least for one attack, that is).

Item (nc): Ten no Kagi (Unique, Temp)		\\\ Ten no Tou ||
- Grab the key and use it on the pedestal.

Fish: Dragon Armor (Unique)			\\\ Haru ||
- Go fishing in the duck pond to receive the Dragon Armor. You need to
use the Takumi no Sao, in case you forgot.
- With the weather back to normal, you can now travel through the cave
behind the waterfall.

						\\\ Chamu ||
Items (nc): Daiya no Yubiwa (Unique), Shiroshika no Tsuno
- Time has stopped in the village, so you can't talk to any of the
NPCs (except for one).

Item (nc): Horidi no Mi (Unique, Temp)		\\\ Chamu Region ||
Enemies:           HP   Def     Exp    Z
 Tobiuo         | 300 |  83% |  560 | 180 |  DogFishX

- South of Chamu, you'll find a suspicious, large tree. Have Ox knock
it gently to receive the Horidi no Mi.

Item: Kaze no Udewa (Unique)			\\\ Sealed Chamber ||
- Another dragon door east from Chamu.

Item: Eiyuu no Yumi (Unique)			\\\ Underground Chamber ||
- Head a little northwest from the sealed door to find a dig mark.
- The Eiyuu no Yumi is Gilliam's ultimate weapon (220 ATP, 8 WGT).

Party: Ryu Lv34, Nina Lv46, Danku Lv33, Gilliam Lv35, Bleu Lv41,
 Ox Lv34, Maniro Lv34, Mogu Lv29

						\\\ Jikuu no Tou ||
Items: Kitsukeyaku, Evil Stick (Unique), Hyouga no Yoroi (Unique),
 Rifuru Ekisu, Kin no Tiara, Mamori no Tate (Unique), Bannouyaku,
 Speed no Kabuto (Artifact), Wolf Skin (Unique), Ashura no Ken (Unique)
Boss: Kaara
Enemies:           HP   Def     Exp    Z
 Death Rider    | 220 | 125% |  600 | 300 |  Wraith
 Firehead       | 240 |  50% | 1400 |1000 |  FireHead
 Devil Horse    |  44 | 333% |   50 |  30 |  D.Rider
 Tarantula      | 300 | 100% | 1400 | 450 |  Widow

- The Evil Stick restores Bleu's AP by 3 whenever she attacks.
- The Hyouga no Yoroi is pretty much the best armor for Ox. The Daichi
no Yoroi may be 1 point lighter, but this one also give him some
elemental resistance. You might want to hang on to Ox's old Earth Mail,
so Mogu can use it for Thunder resistance (provided he has a non-elemental
shield). Without it, he'll get killed by a single Baruharaa, although
it's nothing a quick reviving spell or item can't fix, so it's really
not a big deal. You can encounter Devil Ghosts again in the first half
of the final dungeon, but no other (normal) enemy uses it.
- After the event at the top of the tower, you'll find yourself on
the world map, separated from the rest of your party. You'll have to
make it back to Chamu with Ryu alone (getting hit with a death spell
does the job).
- Return to the tower.

[Boss]
- The battle ends before you get the chance to finish her off.

- You'll be separated from your party again, except this time Nina's
with you as well, so you can just use Warp if you want.
- The Ashura no Ken is on the top floor of the tower, so you'll have
to make one more trip there if you want it.

						\\\ Chamu ||
- Go see Elan in one of the houses, then return to the fortress southeast.
- Oh, and, you'll soon enter the third and final phase of the flea market.
If there are any Phase 2 items that you still want (Speed no Kabuto,
Ankoku no Knife, Beast Lance), better get them now.

Item: Toki no Kagi (Unique, Temp)		\\\ Kaara's Castle ||
- Assuming you have the Horidi no Mi, you should be able to proceed.
Nina will go MIA for a while.

						\\\ Ongaku no Kuni ||
- Hit the palm trees on the island to get a coconut.
- Go talk to Nina in one of the apartments.
- Now, go pick up some fishing gear, and explore the area south of
where Kaara's castle used to be.

Fish: Dofugu					\\\ Teito Region ||
- You'll eventually find a ruined bridge that used to allow people to
cross the poison lake. Either that, or it was just built that way. Either
way, whip out your rod and get the fish.

- And that's the last of the four items needed to cure Nina's amnesia.
In case you haven't been paying attention, here's a recap:
 1. Shiroshika no Tsuno
   × Hunting white deer. You could also find four of them in fixed
   locations (Forest Fortress, Hikari, Yami, Chamu)
 2. Wadayashi no Mi
   × Punch palm trees
 3. Hori no Nekko
   × Dig in front of the strange plant near Gramor.
 4. Dofugu

						\\\ Chamu ||
Items (nc): Orizanin (Unique, Temp), Tsuukoushou (Unique)
Shop:
 Kaen no Tsurugi	20 000 Z
 Kairaku Rapier		25 000 Z
 Trident Bow		12 000 Z
 Ice Nail		15 000 Z
 Daichi no Yoroi	12 000 Z
 Sukashi no Fuku	30 000 Z
 Holy Shield		20 000 Z
 Fuhai no Kabuto	20 000 Z

- The Kairaku Rapier restores Nina's AP by 3 whenever she attacks.
- You can use the Ice Nail in battle to deal 60 pod to a single target.
- The Fuhai no Kabuto increases the damage you receive from certain
attacks. Not recommended.

- Go pick up the Orizanin from the medicine man.
- When you leave the building, you'll see a suspicious character hanging
out by the trees and that water thing. Talk to him and examine the area
where he was standing to find the Tsuukoushou.

						\\\ Ongaku no Kuni ||
- Nina will rejoin the party.
- She now has a new field ability that allows her to turn into a bird.
Shockingly, in this form, you can fly around and reach a few new places
(not too many left).
- At this point, the flea market / free market has reached Phase 3.
I'll get back to that later.

Item (nc): Slicer (Unique)			\\\ Pagoda Region ||
Enemies:           HP    Def     Xp     Z
 Golden King    | 2000 | 100% | 9999 | 9999 |  M.Slime

- North of Pasura no Ukishima is a little island with some weird
structures you can't enter. Search the area behind them to find the
Slicer.
- This island is also home to the Golden King Slime, who's worth pretty
good xp and Zenny. They're a bit uncommon, though, and I'd say you're
better off leveling up in the Teito region.

Fish: Dragon Shield (Unique)			\\\ Kaze Region ||
- West of Kaze is the last well you'll find.

						\\\ Underground Chamber ||
Items: Stamina no Moto, Bushin no Tamashii, Yuuki no Belt (Artifact)
- Northeast of Romero is an island with a dig mark.

						\\\ Underground Chamber ||
Items: Bushin no Tamashii, Stamina no Moto, Rakki no Eda, Bannouyaku,
 Speed no Kabuto (Artifact), Koisuru Boushi (Artifact),
 Hoshi no Tate (Unique), Nazo no Tsume (Unique)
- One last dig mark southeast of Teito.
- The Hoshi no Tate is the second strongest shield in the game (70\2).
It's also Light-elemental and, additionally, provides some resistance
to Instant Death.
- The Nazo no Tsume (120 ATP, 1 WGT) is not only Mogu's ultimate weapon
but also one-handed.

Item: Max Melon					\\\ Ryuu no Shinden ||
Special: Kaiser Dragon
Boss: Saint Kuina
- North of Kaze, you'll find the third dragon shrine.
- Prerequisites: Shrines 1 & 2 complete, Dragon Blade & Dragon Armor.

[Boss]
- 3000 HP, 20% Def, W:L, 1400 xp, 1600 Z
- Solo with Ryuu.
- Okay, this guy's actually pretty tough.

- Kaiser deals 320 pod (T).

Special: Saigo no Chikara			\\\ Cleansing Water Cave ||
- Once you've completed the three shrines and found all the Dragon
equipment, you can pick up Saigo no Chikara in the hidden area at the
bottom of the cave.
- This transformation multiplies Ryuu's HP and allows him to deal 999 pod
to all enemies every round, although other characters are removed during
the transformation. It can only be used if all other characters are alive
and available (ie. not fused).

						\\\ Teito Region ||
Enemies:           HP   Def     Exp    Z
 Orc Master     | 280 | 100% | 1360 | 480 |
 Firehead       | 240 |  50% | 1400 |1000 |

- This is the best place to level up, not that there's any particular
need to do so. Either way, using encounter rate increasing equipment
doesn't make much of a difference, since the encounter rate is already
pretty high. If you do use it, don't forget that the character has to
be the lead character.

Item (nc): Yakusou				\\\ Teito ||
- Examine the control panel for the elevator.

Item (nc): Kowareta Buhin (Unique, Temp)	\\\ Haru ||
- Talk to the man lying in the bed in one of the houses to receive the
Kowareta Buhin.

Item (nc): Souchi no Buhin (Unique, Temp)	\\\ Guntz ||
- Talk to the NPCs on the second floor of the elder's house.

						\\\ Teito ||
- Ride the elevator up to find a man blocking your path. Talk to him,
then head out to Tunlan.

Item (nc): Dragon Soul (Unique)			\\\ Ongaku no Kuni ||
- Talk to the NPC in the first regular apartment to obtain the Dragon Soul.

						\\\ Makka / Ongaku ||
- As I already mentioned, the flea market has now reached the final phase.
- The Ryuuguu Maguro fully heals the HP of a single character along with
curing any status ailments (can't be stacked).
- The Kamen no Tate (65/8) is the strongest shield for most characters
(everyone except Ryuu and whoever is using the Hoshi no Tate). It's non-
elemental and also has the reflect ability, just like the Tenshi no Muneate,
but unfortunately this one has a limited activation rate. Even so, it's still
one of the best shields in the game. It's also pretty easy to get (about as
common as the Gold Tiara).
- The Makai no Robe is for Nina and Bleu (90/1). Easily their best choice,
since it halves damage from the common elements (Fire, Ice, Thunder).
- The Kobito no Yumi (150/1) is Gilliam's second strongest weapon. One-handed.
- The Chou no Rapier (82/0) is Nina's ultimate weapon, but don't forget
about the Kairaku Rapier.
- The Nirami no Tsue (100/8) is Bleu's ultimate weapon.
- The Pico Pico Hammer (255/1) is Ox's ultimate weapon.

 Ryuuguu Maguro		  1200 Z
 Makai no Robe		  5994 Z
 Kamen no Tate		12 000 Z
 Chou no Rapier		18 000 Z
 Kobito no Yumi		12 000 Z

 Magic Armor    | 700 |  66% | 1680 | 800 |
 Armor Eater    |2500 |  70% | 1200 | 400 |

- There are three sets of stairs on the first floor. Take the eastern one
first, then the western one.
- You can use the Hyouga no Tsue in battle to deal 100 pod to all enemies.

[Boss]
- 6000+10 000 HP, 50% Def, W:all, 7000 xp, 7000 Z

- You'll finally get rid of the six Goddess keys in the following event.
- Don't bother returning to where you fought Zog now that he's gone.
There aren't any secret items there.
- Head to the shrine on top of Pasura no Ukishima.

 Ghoul          |  280 | 125% |  700 | 300 |  Ghoul
 Magic Armor    |  700 |  66% | 1680 | 800 |  Entity
 Undead Crab    | 1700 |  59% | 1800 | 600 |  PincherX
 Oomedama       | 2500 |  83% | 1290 | 540 |  ICU

- You can use the Fire Dart in battle to deal 90 pod to a single target.
- Your entire party's HP will be dropped to 1 after you encounter Seira
in the room with the candles. Fortunately, you'll get the chance to heal
yourself before the ensuing boss fight.

[Boss]
- 15 000 HP, 45% Def, W:all, 8000 xp, 8000 Z

- Next, you'll find a recovery point and soon thereafter a hole on the
ground that takes you back to the beginning. Probably not where you want
to go.
- The last section of the dungeon is similar to Kita no Tou, with switches
on the ground that turn the floor either visible or invisible. You don't
have to deal with any of that if you just go counter-clockwise.

- Overworld theme 1
- If you head to Teito, you'll notice that the whole place is now missing.
In its stead, you'll find this... floating castle thing (the final dungeon).
Before you can explore it, though, you'll need a certain key item.

						\\\ Weapon Lady's Hut ||
- This place is on a little island west from Tataar (directly north from
the weapon guy's place).
- Talk to the NPC here.
						\\\ Weapon Guy's Hut ||
Items: Ichiranhyou (Unique, Temp), Yakusou, Yakusou
- You'll have to deliver some messages between the two old weapon collectors.

Item: Hen na Mono (Unique, Temp)		\\\ Weapon Lady's Hut ||

Item (nc): Ojiji no Tegami (Unique, Temp)	\\\ Weapon Guy's Hut ||

Item (nc): Obaba no Tegami (Unique, Temp)	\\\ Weapon Lady's Hut ||

Item (nc): Hagan no Tsume (Unique, Temp)	\\\ Weapon Guy's Hut ||
- The Hagan no Tsume can't be equipped; it's just a key item. Also,
before you can actually use it, you'll have to talk to one of the NPCs
(Anahorimeijin) in Gramor with Mogu.

Party: Ryu Lv38, Nina Lv46, Danku Lv36, Gilliam Lv37, Ox Lv38,
 Mogu Lv34, Maniro Lv37, Bleu Lv42

						\\\ Fuyuu Yousai ||
Item: Honoo no Tonkachi (Unique)
Items (nc): Koutei no Tsurugi (Unique), Hoshikudaki no Tsuchi (Unique)
Bosses: Goda, Judas, Miria A/B/C

Enemies:           HP    Def     Exp    Z
 Devil Ghost    | 2400 | 125% |  840 | 200 |
 Gargoyle       | 2200 | 100% | 1200 | 400 |
 Homunculus     | 3500 | 294% | 2520 |1200 |
 Jelly Golem    | 3000 | 143% | 1290 | 540 |

- Again, the Devil Ghost can cast Baruharaa (400 pod).
- There are no save points in the final dungeon, I'm afraid. Then again,
it's not that long or difficult. Although, there is that big room after
Goda that's cloned three times for a total of 4 'instances.' They're
basically identical. They all lead to the same place, and there doesn't
seem to be any items, so don't bother going through each of them.

[Boss: Goda]
-   5504 + 5496 HP, 45% Def, W:C, 6000 xp, 6000 Z
- Goda doesn't use any magic at all.

- When you finally reach Judas, he'll ask if you'd be interested in
joining him. If you accept his offer, you can serve as his goon for a
while, which means you'll be fighting a bunch of fixed encounters for
his entertainment.

[Boss: Judas]
- 21 876 + 3124 HP, 42% Def, W:D, 8000 xp, 8000 Z
- His two most dangerous attacks are BoltX (400 pod, always used on the
first character) and Rub. He doesn't use either one often, though.
- I wouldn't bother with Nina's magic resisting spells (Makato, Mainama,
Katomana), since they wear off after just one spell.

- Once the battle is over, check behind the right pillar to find the
Hoshikudaki no Tsuchi, and the area left of Judas's throne for the
Koutei no Tsurugi, Ryuu's ultimate weapon (255/1)(although the Ankoku
no Knife can still deal a little more damage thanks to the elemental
variable).
- You can use the hammer in battle to deal 400 pod to all enemies.
- You can use the Koutei no Tsurugi in battle to deal 180 pod to all
enemies.

- At this point, it is a *very* good idea to leave and save your game.
Only the final boss remains (unless you still have Dragon Shrines left
that you haven't done).
- And, yeah, if you want levels, fighting Fireheads and Orc Masters in
the Teito region is probably your best option. The encounter rate is
pretty high by default, so using the Tight Mini or Gorgeous Mail won't
make a big difference. Either way, you can get about 50k in 30 minutes.
After Lv50, each level requires 50-70k xp.
- When you first talk to the Goddess, you can get your party fully healed.

[Boss: Miria]
- B: 28 000 HP, 40%   Def, W:D
- C: 31 000 HP, 19,6% Def, W:D
- In order to see the good ending, you'll have to use Saigo no Chikara,
so that you can fight her true form (C). Don't forget that Saigo can
only be used when all characters are alive, and Danku isn't fused.
- B: She only uses normal attacks and Suurei (100 pod to all).
- C: She only uses normal attacks and Soru c (70 pod to all). Her ATP
is 510, so her physical attacks are a concern to characters with lower
HP and DFP. Eg. with 300 DFP, you take 170 pod.
- Saigo no Chikara will indeed trivialize the battle, so I suggest you
try to beat her without it. If you do use it, you should have Ryu equip
the Oreta Ken, as it triggers a special guest appearance during the
ending.
