Section 8, Copyright and liability. -------------------------------- Section 1 ---------------------------------- Opening Comments > Hello, This guide is was created for entertainment, I felt obligated to use the knowledge and my experence to create a guide for others. Most of the work was already done by me anyway, so I decided to put it into this guide for everyone who wishs to use it's contents. I do apolidgize if there are grammer or spelling errors in advance. I hope this information is useful to you as there are no game spoilers in this guide except what's under "Other Tricks." Also you won't find any written boss stratagies here this guide is about fusion and farming the DLC. The only exception to this is in section 7 closing comments and other tricks. -------------------------------- Section 2 ---------------------------------- Pre DLC Suggestions & herb farming. Before starting the DLC it's my suggestion that a decent set of gear is made that for alisha Alisha, and herbs are farmed in advance. This is important because the elemies in the DLC are high level like those late in the main story. For gear unless it's the second playthrough most gear options for 2x and 3x, skills easy stacking etc. will be unavalible. Below is as a list of end game herb farming locations and how to get an good estimant on their respawn time. Herbs respawn every 10 hours from when they are picked. Because farming takes a little over 2 hours going through all areas It's a safe bet to start farming from Hexen Isle again after 8 hours. For 100% assurance respawn consider that when the Red Rosemary herb is at longhorn monolith its safe to start farming at #1 point onward. Also, don't pick up the Red Rosemary herb at the Lohgrin monolith until after last area Zaphgott Moor in step #9 of this herb farming section is completed. 1.

PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION FIRST BEFORE DOING ANY DLC FUSIONS !! ~ This guide, assist in fusions for all skill types using mostly the DLC joke gear. It's useful for Unlocking santified 100% double skills for hard difficalty or higher. When trading a +99 Sactified Nameless Spears or Ribbons the skill in the first slot counts for 100% Double. This is best done by creating a +90 sanctified item that is sealed and a seperate joke item with the wanted skill unsealed in it. Sealed means that the first slot is blue and inactive. When you fuse items with sealed slots they don't combine with another skill. This way you can fuse a an unsealed skill directly into that slot without the unsealed skill being altered. It's very important to fusion if a skill is unsealed or sealed remember this! Some items may need the ordering talent in the main game. Buy out the shop in Ladylake then fight 3-6 battles. Then repeating to restock the shop. The items that should be ordered in the main game include. > Amber Spear Shabby Spear Amber Ribbon Tie The Anthem Ribbon Tie is uneeded because, a Ribbon of Cosmos also has the same skill in it's first slot. 4.1 Skill fusion list help First chosse the skill you're interested in. Let's for example say you want to have a +99 sactified item with Acqua. Looking down the list you'll see the fusion for Acqua is as follows. (see list below) Acqua #44 Nameless/Coarse Ribbon (sealed) + Coarse Ribbon (Urth) + Coarse Ribbon (Voyd) Unfortunatly, because there aren't any simple fusions to get this skill multiple playthroughs of the DLC are needed. As you can see in the second fusion of the ribbon isn't the default skill. To get this skill you'll need to work in backtrack fuseions and unseal it with five fights/battles each time. To do this first you'll need to look at the secound item in the fusion. As you can see it's a Coarse Ribbon (Urth). Normally a coarse ribbon is Voyd. To get this skill in the first slot you'll need to perform multiple fusions and fight a few battles with it equipped on Alisha. Urth #43 Nameless/Coarse Ribbon (sealed) + Coarse Ribbon (Blarb) + Adamant Ribbon (Scowtt) Again, this skill isn't an items default skill! You'll need a Coarse Ribbon (Blarb) with the skill Blarb unsealed. This is done looking down the list again for this fusion. At this point there are default skills for the items with the exception of the Coarse Ribbon (sealed). Blarb Nameless/Coarse Ribbon (sealed) + Adamant Ribbon (Scowtt) + Calcite Ribbon Tie (Plezur) What will need done is for the Coarse Ribbon to have it's first slot sealed. To do this fuse it with any ribbon other than another Coarse Ribbon (Voyd). This will make the first slot blue and sealed it. WARNING!, Don't fight any battles with this item equiped at this time or it'll unseal whatever skill is in the first slot! This will ruin the first step in the fusion process. It needs to stay sealed until it's fused with the Adamant Ribbon (Scowtt) and the Celcite Ribbon Tie (Plezer) first. Now that the Coarse Ribbon is sealed we can fuse it with the Adamant Ribbon (Scowtt) then follow up with fusing it to the Calcite Ribbon Tie (Plezur) to create a Coarse Ribbon with the 1st slot as blarb sealed. With it being sealed as blarb you'd need to go fight five quick battles with it equipped to unseal the skill. This is is very important to unseal the skill here or the next step won't work. After the skill blarb is unsealed you'll go to the second next stage in it's fusion to create Urth. This can be done by fusing the unsealed Coarse Ribbon (Blarb) that was just unlocked with an Adamant Ribbon (Scowtt). Again after this fusion (Urth) you'll need to unseal the ribbon again with five battles. Awesome, after unsealing Urth the first item for fusion as a Coarse Ribbon is done! The second part of the fusion can is simple, you'll just need another fresh Coarse Ribbon (Voyd) fused to the unsealed Coarse Ribbon (Urth). Coarse Ribbon (Urth) + Coarse Ribbon (Voyd) = Acqua Finally you have the skill Acqua but, It'll still need unlocked with five battles. Once that is done you'll save this item for the final fusion with a +96 to +98 nameless ribbon (sealed). Now that you have the skill you want get a seperate coarse ribbon and fuse it with any 9 ribbons until it's +10. After it's +10 sanctify it with a Lord of the lands NPC to make it into a Nameless Ribbon. Fuse this with any other ribbon with the exeption of the one you just made until it's +90. After the Nameless Ribbon is +90 *SAVE THE GAME!! This way if you mess up you can load and try again to get it sealed at 96-98. It's very important that in the final fusion the Nameless Ribbon is sealed or when it's fused with the Coarse Ribbon (Acqua), will be the skill you wanted and not something else. Lastly You'll also want the skill with the item maxed out at +99. If you fuse the Coarse Ribbon (Acqua) to early you'll end up with a unmaxed Nameless Ribbon. At +90 fuse multiple ribbons of any type to the nameless ribbon until it's +96 to +97 Just make sure the 98th fusion seals the first slot. The other slots 2-4 DON'T matter ignore them! When the Nameless Ribbon (sealed) is +98 fuse it with the Coarse Ribbon (Acqua) that you made earlier. If done right you should have a sanctified nameless ribbon +99 with the first slot as (Acqua). Why do all this work? By offering this item to the lord of the land you'll have 100% double 2x Acqua for drops when hard mode or better difficulty was used for the majority of the battles faught in the main and dlc games playthrough. Keep in mind if you've been playing on any setting other then hard mode or less the game bases these multipliers on majority. It counts every battle you fight. If you have 700 simple fights and 30 fights in hard mode the skill won't double because the migority of your battles were done in simple mode. To get x2 you'd need 701 battles in hard mode+. There are also 3x triple skills that are rare, but these can only drop when the mijority of battles are on chaos mode and *earned* in chaos mode at the time of drop/chest loot. Here are some fusions for Spears and Ribbons to make all 50 skills in order. 4.2 Spear & Ribbon fusion List: Atakk #1 Nameless/Wrathing Spear (sealed) + Wrathing Spear (Tempescht) + Spear of Impending

The setup above makes such easily acheavible. When I started my second playthrough with this Setup, and having her stats all 999 from the first playthrough carried over on chaos mode. With the nameless spear, ribbon, a few elixers and some drop bottles I was able to solo all the shadow fight enemies! Literally everyone in the party was dead and she was able to spam artes picking off one shadow at a time with sometimes four on one. The armor she had was the basic default armor from the start of the NG+. When I exited the fight the party level was only level 18 and this fight took place before unlocking the lord of the land. I consider this quite a trick to get the last playthroughs gear with ease. All these herbs are worth farming. Like I said, OBLITERATED the shadows. That spear and ribbon, with her herb boost made all the difference. She's just that tough early in the game with those two nameless items and boosted stats. last mention. Every piece of gear from the last playthrough was +2 to +10 Gear sanctified with sick skills and stats for all allies. The shadows were all level 88 to 91, with the exception of Alisha being level 61. The gear was insanely powerful enough in the 1st playthrough that without extension it was able to get the PSN trophy "Bested the Wrost" on Chaos mode with some effert in the final battle. I hope this is useful and mas the NG+ less painful. I know that getting the last games gear early on made it less annoying on the NG+. I've since updated her with a full set of nameless gear with chages to the boots and the nameless spear. On the spear I made all voyds x3 and on the boots I changed the Blasst x2 in the first slot in to Releeph x2. -------------------------------- Section 7 ---------------------------------- Section 5, Closing Comments and Other Tricks. > All in all if you do a few playthroughs of the DLC, to get the Nameless Spear and Ribbon using all the herbs on Alisha after a few playthroughs will make her extreamly powerful at level 200 even with the joke gear. This way you can spam the Malvolent Crucible: Naraka with rose for bulk gear drops on chaos mode. The reason why I choose the nameless spear and ribbon is because it's easier to get the skills for them fused by setting normins in the areas. The skills will appear on both dropped gear and items in chest. For example setting Marlind area to Voyd normin. When opening the chest in that area that contains a Spear of Impending Death In front of church at least one of the slots will be Voyd. The reason for this setup is to spam mystic artes increasing drop rate massively. If an enemy can be killed with one mystic arte using this setup she will automatically have enough BG to instantly preform another mystic arte because the Axell x2 will reduce it to 1 BG, while Tempescht +40% BG and Wundor 64% BG will add another +1 BG for the next mystic arte. If the battle action (Frindly Link) is used the arte to arte will transition directly to a new enemy if they're in melee range without even needing to start a new combo chain. Getting Alishia's title to profencency 20 needs a bit of work if you're raising it in the DLC only. The trick is after each playthrough just before you start another DLC NG+ to carry over the game save. Go to the Eephon Inn of Lohgrin, and order Onion Soup. This food increases title experence greatly if the combo damage in battle exceeds 10000 or more for 16 battles. When this food isn't on the list rest at the Inn eating the most exspensive foods on the menu until it becomes unlocked. Once you rest at the inn with that food save the game. Then quit to main title and start the save using Alisha DLC with the NG+ option. The food effect carries over into the NG+ for the Alisha playthrough. If you have the boon (Prolonged Satiety) on the lords the land Rohan, Sindra and Lost Katz the effect of food is enhanced and may last a lot longer then the 16 battles. This way you can build up title proficency for Alisha and allies while farming the DLC for herbs, items etc. My comments about the joke gear skill fusions: Although some of these aren't the most effecent they cover making every skill using mostly the DLC. This took A lot of work on my end. I didn't just use a skill calulater or chart. I farmed and created each of these fusions to completion of the basic skills. I didn't get them to +99 but I did create all the skills on either Wrathing Spears or Coarse Ribbons. This took over a hundred playthroughs of the DLC to acheave the complete fusion list. It's done in a way that allows the same joke items to be back tracked into other skills on the list. The example for an making a Coarse Ribbon (Acqua) in this guide details this in depth. ------- ALISHA DLC Gald Rush Trick By Ladysoalluring of Gamefaqs.com -------- ALERT BOSS SPOILERS!!! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0-L-Wk7FQUoLinL1JSlzka9Xp6mOa4bN Gald from Boss Rush - Boss 1 - 15,167,460 Boss 2 - 28,787,220 Boss 3 - 33,264,000 Boss 4 - 32,456,760 Total Gald - 109,675,440 (over 100 million gald per run of Alisha DLC) Requirements - *Alisha DLC *Increase Inventory DLC/NG+ option (item limit increase from 15 to 30) *Double Gald DLC/NG+ battle act *Gald Bonus - Lord of the Land Boon *30 Drop Bottles *Food; Deep Fried Prawns - Increase Gald by 75% when damage is 10'000 or more Notes - *Proof of concept is showcased on Normal mode (item delay after item use is increased on higher difficulties. *Skip to end of videos if you just want to see the amount of gald gained from each fight. *As a bonus Alisha DLC is also useful for exp, levels, title exp, title levels, herbs, and equipment, Alisha "treasure chest" simulator will be plentiful on female armours like Adamantite armour, Uprising Veils, etc, Rose daggers, Alisha spears, ribbons, etc. *Herbs and treasures respawn each time you do the Alisha DLC over.
