Hope you find it useful and by all means, read on ahead. - I'm writing this for free and because I'm falling in love with this game. - The usage of abbreviations. When you're in my place or any who writes for GameFAQ's or any other page, writing a guide for any game of such proportions, people complain about using too many abbreviations. You have no idea how helpful abbreviations are. It also looks better in every aspect you think. - The spoilers are great issues in making guides. This FAQ HAS spoilers, due to the fact that I add the names of the bosses, so please DO NOT read ahead of the boss you're stuck at. With all this said, let's start with the guide! Enjoy this guide and remember that it is a spoiler-free, so you don't have to worry about important info of the game being spoiled. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ 1.1] Contact Rules ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-.sx101.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= '-----' Any critics, suggestions, spelling mistakes, contributions are welcome, so please send them at the following e-mail: --> vinheim@gmail.com <-- I always reply to all the mails I get, since feedback is the best reward of all. o Important ----------- The only sites allowed to host my FAQ's from here on out are the following: - www.gamefaqs.com - www.supercheats.com - www.neoseeker.com This is because many sites either steal my guides or they don't update them, making it really hard on me because many readers from other sites often ask me question from an incomplete guide, so this is a better way to keep track of my FAQ's and my readers. Please, if you're not on the list above, don't even bother asking about hosting them because the answer will be NO. Thanks. ----------- I also have MSN and AIM, but please, if you add me, do NOT start bombing me with IM. If I have the time, I'll chat to you, since I'm always busy writing FAQ's and making some research for my job and school, but please keep it polite, 'k? Anyway, here they are: MSN: xander_may_cry@hotmail.com AIM: vinh3im Ask politely and I'll add you. I don't have YIM, so start mailing me to make one just so you can chat with me. Also, I created a Facebook page for you to check it out here: o http://www.facebook.com/pages/Vinheim/127120257336550 This was made because several people like to add me on Facebook and since I'm not accepting people I don't know, and I removed the people that added me (sorry for that), I created this page, so enjoy. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ 1.2] Donations ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-.sx102.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= '-----' This is a little experiment of mine and I just wanna see how it goes. Well, if you found this guide to be at least somewhat useful, think about donating some money. I mean, I'm a student who pays his own school, and it's gastronomy and it consumes all the money I get at home. I'm not asking for 10-20 bucks. Whatever your heart wants to give is fine, be it 1 buck, 50 cents. Whatever the amount you can donate, I'd truly, TRULY appreciate it and your help would be greatly appreciated. Well, you can only donate through PayPal at the moment, which the account is: vinheim@gmail.com ----------------- Instead of buying the official guides which cost around 20 dls., better donate half or a quarter or whatever amount to yours truly. To those who support me, thanks. - Alexander Paul Kleinheider aka vinheim __ __ ___ ____ __ __ ___ ____ | \/ |_ _/ ___| .=======================================. | \/ |_ _/ ___| | |\/| || | | | 2] Boss List | | |\/| || | | | | | || | |___ | [sx200] | | | | || | |___ |_| |_|___\____| '=======================================' |_| |_|___\____| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ --=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===----- ~-~ BOSS: MISS COCONUT CRAB ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ~ XP: 1182 ~ Golda: 540 ~ Item: Imitation Crab, Blau Stone - Strategy: Make sure you're around Lv.8-9 so that this boss is easy, because at low levels, it'll wipe the floor with your ass in 1-2 minutes. He (she probably?) only has 2 attacks and are really simply to predict. I was at Lv.8 in this battle, and let me tell you, make sure you bring some Panacea Medicines with you because this crab can hit, and hard. Her first attack is a simple claw attack that causes from 200 to 280 dmg. to Crais and probably around 350 dmg. to Sophie. Her second attack is a charge attack. When she stays still, she'll most probably use this attack, which can deal a whopping 450 dmg. to Crais, so you can imagine the dmg. caused to Sophie. The best thing you can do here is to use Crais as a bait so that the crab doesn't get near Sophie, because in 1 or 2 hits she's dead. If you have Spils, use it to make yourself a little bit quicker. If you need to use items, do it. Don't wait for Sophie to heal you, since she'll sometimes heal herself before you. Keep attacking her, once or twice, and try never to attack her trice because she'll counterattack you. Attack twice and quickly block so you can lessen the dmg. by a lot. ==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---===== --=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===----- ~-~ BOSS: COUNTER HAMMER ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ~ XP: 2163 ~ Golda: 740 ~ Item: Lobster, Waterstone - Strategy: Mmm... this is the stupidest idea of a Boss Battle. This enemy only has 1 attack, a claw attack the same as the previous Boss. The only thing this one has is that it blocks. When it blocks, it can counter you very quickly, without giving you any chance of blocking. If you wanna play it safe, use Magnus from afar. It the boss is blocking, your Magnus spell will bounce towards you (I killed Sophie this way XD), so yeah, easy boss. ==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---===== --=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===----- ~-~ BOSS: SAI MASTER ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ~ XP: Around 2000 ~ Golda: 1024 ~ Items: Arcanum of Dark, Darkstone - Strategy: Ok, this boss is lame. I was lv.22 when I fought it and it was easy. Just hit him twice. If you touch him, you'll get hurt, so only attack him 2 times. You're attacks will be doing around 250-280 dmg. per hit with Stone of Fire III equipped, so hit him around 10-12 times and he's good to go. The thing here is that he's also very powerful, dealing around 200-250 dmg. per hit and he likes to hit 2 or 3 times in a row. Leave the healing to Sophie and remember not to let it get anywhere near her, ok? ==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---===== --=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===----- ~-~ BOSS: CLUSTER BOMB ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ~ XP: Around 10,000 ~ Golda: 1296 ~ Items: Arcanum of Fire, Firestone - Strategy: Ok, this boss is tough. When this boss receives certain amount of dmg. it'll start self-exploding. If you die by the explosion, you won't get the game over screen, but you won't get the XP either. If you die prior to the self-explosion, you'll GET the game over. The best thing you can use it Steel Edge. This will keep you at bay while you damage it. If Cluster Bomb touches you, it'll damage you for around 150 dmg. and it can stagger you. Use the Guard Seal II to protect against that. There's not much more to say about this fight. Just attack it nonstop and have Sophie heal you over and over, while Mel uses her magic (DO NOT use fire magic, ok?) ==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---===== --=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===----- ~-~ BOSS: TRENTOS ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ~ XP: 15,864 ~ Golda: 1456 ~ Items: Arcanum of Earth, Earthstone - Strategy: Pretty pathetic boss, if you ask me. It stays still. It also only has 3 attacks. The first one, he attacks with a branch, which looks like a spire falling down. The second attack, he drops an apple and explodes causing Fire dmg. The third and most dangerous one, it spits poison, damaging you for 450-550 dmg. to all those in range. Just keep attacking nonstop and heal when needed. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. ==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---===== --=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===----- ~-~ BOSS: LEIGH CRYSTAL ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ~ XP: 14352 ~ Golda: 1616 ~ Items: Lightstone, Holy Stone - Strategy: Are-you-kidding-me?! Sorry, no strategy for this boss. I defeated it so quickly I didn't know what happened. Seriously, I don't know if it attacks, but just jump to it and attack it nonstop. It'll go down easily in 30 seconds. IF ANYONE WANTS ME TO ADD SOMETHING, JUST EMAIL ME AND I'LL DO IT, ALRIGHT?! ==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---===== --=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===----- ~-~ BOSS: FEIDE ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ~ XP: 24000 ~ Golda: 0 ~ Items: Royal Pudding, Bunny Ears - Strategy: Now this battle is real, so don't let your guard down. She hits hard, for almost 350-400 dmg. per hit. Have Patty healing nonstop and if you want, have Tinon help her heal, while Mel uses magic nonstop. You attack her, make a combo or 3 and guard until she hits you. Once done that, combo her again and so on until you defeat her. ==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---===== --=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===----- ~-~ BOSS: DIVINE BEAST SCYLLA/SCYLLA'S THRALL x4 ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ~ XP: 32,426 ~ Golda: 1712 ~ Items: Arcanum of Water, Blau Stone - Strategy: Yay, he's hard as ****. Besides, he's kinda strange because he doesn't have that much HP, but it's impossible to reach him. Hmm... what to do. Here's what I did. Disable all of Mel's spells, except for High-Magnus. Have Tinon and Patty heal and HEAL only. In the attack subscreen, increase all of Mel's Magic and lower all the recovery. For Tinon, do the exact opposite; lower all the Magic bar and increase the Recovery bar. Do the same thing for Patty. Remember to disable all of Tinon's spells, except for the healing ones. Now, as the battle starts, ignore the Scylla's Thralls for now and put yourself in front of Scylla. Start using Steel Edge over and OVER nonstop so you're able to at least reach him. Manually have Mel use Magnus spell on Scylla to inflict great dmg. on him. Scylla likes to use Tidal Wave, which is a devastating water spell that will leave your characters with around 200 HP (yeah, it deals around 1800 dmg.) If it cures itself, keep on attacking until he's dead. ==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---===== --=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===----- ~-~ BOSS: HEIDAR ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ~ XP: 32148 ~ Golda: 0 ~ Items: Royal Pudding - Strategy: Mmm... for the second to last boss, he really isn't that tough. He only has 2 attacks, well, that's all the attacks I saw him use on me. He can summon some minions, which go down in like 4-5 hits. Also, between you and Tinon, you can easily attack over and over and stagger him. Serious. Keep on attacking with Tinon while Mel uses Gran-Magnus and Patty heals, which I don't think you'll need to. His physical attack really hurts, dealing over 1000 dmg. per hit, but he only hits once, so you can easily heal that, right? ==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---===== --=======------=======----=-=----===-----===-----------====----=-------===----- ~-~ BOSS: DRAGON GOD MIMANA ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ ~ XP: 1 ~ Golda: 0 ~ Items: Water Spirit Stone - Strategy: Ok, final boss, and a really nice -- kickass song for the battle. Make sure to set Mel's Magic to 5 and lower the other ones to 0. For Patty, raise her Recovery to 5 and lower the rest to 0. Tinon should have her Attack to 5 and the rest to 2 or 3. Have Mel cast Gran-Magnus over and over and over. Do it manually because the AI in this game is strange and she won't cast it after she finished. Deactivate all of Patty's spells, except for Heal Sphere, Hi-Heal Sphere, Mana Heal Sphere and Rebirth. As for Mimana's attacks, he can normally attack with its claw twice for like 1600 dmg. per hit. This is instant kill to anyone in range, so make sure to revive the downed characters. He also has a ray attack, which deals around 2200 dmg. This is survivable with Crais, so heal up immediately. He can also summon a large ray that attacks all party members for around 2100 dmg. which is a lot and can kill multiple targets. Heal and revive right away. ==-------======-------====-=-====---=====---===========----====-=======---===== __ __ ___ ____ __ __ ___ ____ | \/ |_ _/ ___| .=======================================. | \/ |_ _/ ___| | |\/| || | | | 3] Latest Update | | |\/| || | | | | | || | |___ | [sx300] | | | | || | |___ |_| |_|___\____| '=======================================' |_| |_|___\____| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ = Version Sophie (August 16th, 2010) - Finished the FAQ. __ __ ___ ____ __ __ ___ ____ | \/ |_ _/ ___| .=======================================. | \/ |_ _/ ___| | |\/| || | | | 8] Closing | | |\/| || | | | | | || | |___ | [sx800] | | | | || | |___ |_| |_|___\____| '=======================================' |_| |_|___\____| ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ 8.1] Credits ~-~ ~-~ ~-~ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-.sx801.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= '-----' 1.
