TH' BASICS _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ELEMENTS [LMNT] _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Elements are the meat and potatoes of this game, being the method of non- -physical attacking. Some general basics about elements: • THEY ARE THINGS! You can find them in your inventory or on characters. • They are aligned with six types: Red, Yellow, Blue, Black, Green, White • They can be bought, found, given, or dropped after winning a battle • They have to be equipped on an 'element grid' before they can be used in battle. • Elements can be curative, offensive, defensive, or have miscellaneous effects. • Some elements called "consumables" can be equipped in battle or used on the field (where you walk around in non-battle) in multiple quantities. Each of the six elements has an 'opposite' which it is naturally opposed to. Greater damage is dealt against those 'opposites' and when the field effect is filled with a certain color, it means the 'opposite' is thereby weakened in all its capacity (attacks, elements). The colors and their opposites are: Green <-> Yellow Black <-> White Red <-> Blue So, Red is strong against blue and vice versa, etc. An all red field effect will noticeably power down blue characters and elements and vice versa, etc. More on field effects in a bit. _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ELEMENT TYPES [LMTP] _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Most elements have different characteristics inherently, but they can all be grouped into certain piles or categories. They are: • TECHS --------> These are special abilities inherent to the character, and can be learned or found/recovered through various methods. All characters have one tech that goes into the LV3, LV5, and LV7 slots (except Sprigg who's only a LV5). Techs cannot be removed from a character, and once they're allocated to the grid (if they're found) the same thing applies. Certain characters can link their techs together and form a '2x Tech' or 'double tech' to do a special maneuver on the enemy. • TRAPS --------> Traps can only be set in one certain level of the grid and are non-offensive. However, they do have a special purpose: stealing the enemy's elements! If you use a trap and the enemy casts the element you're gunning to steal, your set trap will disappear and one (x1) type of the element you stole will be in the inventory. For an example, if you set an Earthquake trap, nothing'll happen until an enemy casts Earthquake. At that time, the attack will be nullified (no damage/effect taken), the trap you set will disappear, and one 'Earthquake' element appears in the inventory. Apply this to all trappable elements. • OFFENSIVE ----> This designation encapsulates any element used for weakening the enemy position. Dealing damage, casting status effects, using debuffers (lowers enemy stats), or modifying the field to your advantage. • DEFENSIVE ----> This designation sums up those elements used for the purpose of helping your comrades out. This can be any element/consumable that heals, alleviates statuses, buffs your party (raises their stats temporarily), or modifies the field effect, such as Diminish/Magnify. • FIELD EFFECT -> These specifically deal with the field effect marker in the upper-left corner. Mostly, these are elements such as 'RedField' that change the effect to a single color. Some techs like Van's 'WetPaint' can mimic this effect, also. • MODIFY FIELD -> These modify the playing field itself, rather than the field effect marker. This is mostly the job for a Diminish (halves elemental damage), Magnify (ups the elemental damage done by 150%) or SealAll (stops any elements from being used). _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ELEMENT GRID [LMGD] _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― The element grid is the 'thing' one equips the different elements to for battle use. To find it, enter the main menu, go to 'Elements' and then to 'Allocate.' Allocate means 'to place,' which is what you do with the elements in your inventory (duh?). Characters you receive early on will have small element grids, meaning they can't perform a bunch of hard-hitting maneuvers right off the bat. At max, there are eight 'level's with multiple slots on each; but, for now, an example of a small element grid would be: LV1 LV2 LV3 LV4 LV5 LV6 LV7 LV8 [ ][ ] [ ][ ][ ][ ] [ ] At this time, only seven elements can be equipped with elements that can be placed up to a LV 4 slot. When you inspect an element before it's equipped, it will display something like "1 ± 7". What does this mean? 1 ± 7 / | '------ How far up or down the grid this Default LV of -' | element can fluctate placement | '- A symbol meaning 'plus' or 'minus'. This relates to the second number The above example meanins that it can be placed in any slot from LV1 to LV 1+7 (LV8). If you equip this element (say, a GravityBlow) in its default placement level (LV1) it will read 'GravityBlow'. If you were to put it at its highest, it would read 'GravityBlow +7'. This '+7' means that the attack is placed higher than normal and will then do better damage. But this example only shows a horrible element placed at a high rate...what about elements that start good and have their effects dulled by poor placement? Let's use 'BlackHole,' a 6 ± 2 element as an example. We already know that this has a default position of LV6 and can be put as high as "LV8". But what if it's stuck at its lowest, LV4? When any element is placed below its default, it will get a negative marking. For the above example, at its lowest, it will read "BlackHole -2". This goes to display that it's placed two lower than where it should be, and it'll have a flattened/worse effect because of it. --- For the last short example, there are some elements that simply cannot be moved. An example would be an Earthquake Trap element (LV 6 ± 0). It HAS to be in the LV6 slot to be used. Some other elements you'll come across that have this same property are special 'techs'. These are found or learned and once they're on a character, they cannot be removed or changed at all. --- TUTORIAL FINISH! --- At this point, I'll add that some elements have a set effect that is NOT tarnished by their placement. For instance, Purify (LV 4 ± 4 element) is used to remove status effects. It really doesn't matter if you place it at LV8 or LV1, because it only does that one task. This goes for a few other elements (like Diminish, Magnify, Revenge, field modify elements). You'll probably notice that those will fall into the 'miscellaneous' category, yeah? Try out the effects yourself and see what gives better results. _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― FIELD EFFECT [FLDF] _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― One can technically play the game without worrying about this portion, but any smart player will learn to use this to their advantage. Find this thing in the upper-left corner of a battle, looking like: ___________ This ASCII drawing to the left is pretty / _______ \ crappy, but it's meant to illustrate that / / _/\/\ there are three colors represented there OUTSIDE / / _/ | at all times. There is an 'inside', middle, '- | | /INSIDE| and 'outside' to the oval. As elements are \ \ \_ | used, they start at the 'inside' and move \ \ \_ | to the 'outside' until they disappear from \ \_____\/\| the display altogether. The three NEWEST \__________/ colors used are displayed, the oldest is kicked off. Comprende? Yeah? :p ___________ / _______ \ For example, let's say that the battle is / /BLACK_/\/\ started. There will _ALWAYS_ be three /RED/ _/ | colors there when you start, random in a | | /GREEN | certain way. Let's say they're red, black \ \ \_ | and green. \ \ \_ | \ \_____\/\| The three colors represented power up \__________/ characters/elements of the same color by temporarily raising their stats, while ___________ simultaneously POWERING DOWN any ally or /B _______ \ enemy of the opposite color. For here, /L /GREEN_/\/\ Blue, White, and Yellow persons would be / A / _/ | in a slightly weaker state. | C| / RED | \ K \ \_ | Now, let's say someone uses a Tablet, a \ \ \_ | red-innate consumable. The field effect \ \_____\/\| will have changed to look like the third \__________/ diagram. The oldest color -- Red -- was removed from the outside as the colors shifted, but the newest color -- Red -- replaced it so it stuck to the grid. The ___________ flow is easy to get down once you see it / _______ \ in action. /B /BLUE _/\/\ / L/ _/ | Pretend that someone uses a 'BlueField' | U| / BLUE | element. This is a field modifier that \ E \ \_ | can tweak the field effect itself. This \ \ \_ | will make the fourth diagram. It will \ \_____\/\| heavily power-up ONLY blue characters, \__________/ while heavily powering-down ONLY red characters. This will be a noticeable change in physical damage, their stats will have weakened considerably, and they won't pose a threat as much. This type of upper-hand situation is what one should try to capitalize on. Summons can only be used when the field effect is a pure color. Salamander can only be used if the field all red, and so on. ___________ / _______ \ Someone then uses a 'red' element to /B /BLUE _/\/\ try and even the situation, leading up / L / _/ | to the fifth diagram. The field now has | U| / RED | two opposing elements in it -- how will \ E \ \_ | the effect go? The manual doesn't even \ \ \_ | touch base on this subject, but it's \ \_____\/\| from my experience that one 'red' will \__________/ cancel out one 'blue', making this field effect slightly in favor of blue. That's all for field effects; hope the visuals helped a bit. Blue & red were used a lot, but they can stand for any opposed element types, to be clear. If you don't understand, just jump into battle and experience it for yourself. Text diagrams are no substitution for observations you can make on your own. _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ATTACKING [ATKG] _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― "Didn't we just go over this!?" you may be asking, but using elements is only the half of a skirmish. Physical attacks rely on the user's STR and ATK stats, as well as their weapon attack. When you select 'Attack' and pick a target, a little box with percentages comes up like so: .-----------. Here, the "1" is a weak attack while the "3" is a fierce | 1 - (93%) | attack. Weak attacks will probably succeed but will raise | 2 - (80%) | the other attacks' percentages only a small amount; on the | 3 - (70%) | flipside, a "3" attack has a better probability of missing | Element | but will instantly raise all types' attack percentages to '-----------' a high amount. This is where a character's Stamina comes into play, as well as their element grid. A weak (1) attack will take only one point from the initial stamina of 7.0, while a fierce attack (3) will take 3 from the stamina. Attacks that land will raise a character's element grid level by the type of slice it was. .-----------. For example, let's say Lynx landed a fierce attack. His | 1 - (99%) | attack percentages are all raised to a very high success | 2 - (98%) | rate. He will have 4.0 of 7.0 stamina and, since his stab | 3 - (95%) | at the enemy was successful, he can any elements in his '-----------' grid at LV3 or below. If he lands another fierce attack, his percentages will raise even higher and his stamina will be at 1.0 of 7.0. The 'Element' option comes into play here. The above example used two fierce (3) attacks twice which hit. That means Lynx can use elements up to the LV6 allocation (why? 3 + 3). If he picks an element to use, it'll drop his Stamina by 7.0 points and drop him into the negative range. The display will be 'Out. -6.0' because 1.0 - 7.0 = -6.0. Simple math, yeah? After this, Lynx will not be able to select actions again until his Stamina is above 1.0. His stamina gradually comes back depending on how high his 'STAMINA RECOVERY' is. Go under 'Status' on the main menu and check. My Lynx has an amount of '12'. How does this translate? Well, he will recover '1.0' each time he defends, '1.2' if someone else in his team defends, and a lot more if he defends right before an enemy uses an attack (sorry, don't know how much that is). Choosing to 'DEFEND' _always_ recovers 1.0 to the Stamina, while anyone else defending will recover the amount in the 'STAMINA RECOVERY' amount. Hard to follow? Don't like math? Don't worry -- knowing the game's stamina system in-depth is not required. It's just good to know if you want to have some extra knowledge. Just note that 'Defend' can reduce damage by over 50%, so it's useful to defend when you can. _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― STATUS EFFECTS [STTS] _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Like many RPGs, status effects are positive/negative conditions that inhibit the characters' abilities to do "stuff." In Chrono Cross, there are positive buffs, technically, but only negative ones are displayed. These conditions are associated with certain elements, because there are consumable elements that can take off those of the same kind, and also because some equipment is set up that it prevents some/all abnormalities of a certain element. Hard to understand? It's not really. Besides those subdivisions, there are four that DO NOT wear off after battle; all the others do. Here are the big four: .--------.-----------.-------------------------.-----------------------. | STATUS | ALIGNMENT | EFFECT (In-battle) | EFFECT (On the field) | |--------+-----------+-------------------------+-----------------------| | Flu | Blue | Stamina rate decreases | Movement is zig-zaggy | | Burns | Red | Defense power decreases | Double dmg from traps | | Poison | Green | HP gradually decreases | Moving decreases HP | | Sprain | Yellow | Attack power decreases | Running is impossible | '--------'-----------'-------------------------'-----------------------' If even one person is affected, after-battle the effect will take place. As for those various consumables that take off the status effects of the color: Medicine takes off blue abnormalities, Ointment takes off the red, Antidote takes off green'uns, and a Brace can alleviate yellow statuses. For the other elements that only can be found in battle: .----------.-----------.-----------------------------------------------. | STATUS | ALIGNMENT | EFFECT (In-battle) | |----------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------| | Dizzy | Yellow | EVD% (evasion capabilities) decreased | |----------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------| | 'Anti' | Any Color | Character becomes unable to use certain color | | | | elements. For instance, 'AntiWhite' (a black- | | | | -type element) prevents white-innate elements | | | | from being used if it works. | |----------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------| | Afraid | Green | Ally is more susceptible to critical hits | |----------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------| | Asleep | White | Character cannot act + defense power lowered. | |----------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------| | Cursed | Black | Stamina decreases as character is damaged... | |----------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------| | Frozen | Blue | Character cannot act. If all allies are under | | | | this condition, it's an automatic Game Over. | |----------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------| | Confused | Red | Indiscriminantly attacks foe and ally alike, | | | | with weapon damage or equipped elements. | |----------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------| | Darkness | Black | HIT% (physical accuracy abilities) decreases | |----------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------| | Fatigued | White | All actions' stamina consumption is increased | '----------'-----------'-----------------------------------------------' Consumable elements can be used in battle to remove the normal colors, but WhiteOut/BlackOuts are needed to remove black/white elements. As an alternative, some elements are especially made with inherent status- -restoring properties. They are HolyHealing, Purify, Panacea, Saints, and Revenge. The latter shifts all of them off him/herself and onto the enemy; even if it fails, the user's cleaned. Staying at an inn will also restore status. _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― STAT OVERVIEW [STVV] _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Playing the game, you'll have to know what some of the abbreviations mean, and how they relate to your allies. I'll just riff the manual a bit here, since they've got it covered pretty well. You can find your characters' current values at the 'status' and 'equipment' screen. HP = Hit Points: How much 'life' your character has INNATE= The character's inherent elemental affiliation STR = Strength: determines base physical attack power. DEF = Defense: determines base defense against physical attacks ACC = Accuracy: determines base HIT% (chance to hit) in battle AGI = Agility: determines base ability to evade attacks MAG = Magic Power: determines base magical attack power M.DEF = Magic Defense: determines base defense against magical attacks G = Often seen behind a number (900g), it regards player's currency There's a few more: • STAMINA RECOVERY: This is the rate at which your character recovers stamina in-battle when you _DO NOT_ use the 'Defend' option (that will always recover 1.0 Stamina). Check your character's status to see his or her value. If you find a '12,' that means s/he will recover '1.2' on a normal basis. • STAR LEVELS: This is indicated by a 'star' icon, which everyone should know visually by now. This represents how many times a character can summon, and if it gets low, find a place to sleep (an inn, a bed, etc.) and recover them all as they don't recover on their own. _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― MENU OVERVIEW [MNVW] _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Here you can find some of the menu options explained. --------- MAIN MENU --------- Status ----> View a character's stats, equipped elements, and profile.

NG+) or a Continue Plus game. They're two different things, so I'll break 'em down. ---------- NEW GAME + ---------- This allows the player to start the entire game over with the added bonus of having the previous save (the one you load before this getting this option) transfer some things, being: • Gold • Star (summon) levels • All character stats • All window frames • All elements (besides ChronoCross and summons). • All raw materials, including Rainbow Shells/Shiny items • All special techs learned AUTOMATICALLY (ones you have to earn/find are not carried over, i.e. MaidenFaith, Unleashed, etc.) • All equipment (besides Mastermune, Einlanzer, Hero's Medal, Blue Brooch, Hero's Shield, Hero's Sword, Master Hammer...) • All enemies 'learned' for Sprigg's Doppelgang ability Things like key items do not carry over. In addition to the above things, Serge also starts with a 'Time Egg' and 'Time Shifter.' The former allows him to do battle with the very end boss at any time he wishes, while the latter can fast-forward or make time go in slo-mo for field animations and dialogue (but not for FMVs). Also worth noting is some elements that were equipped when the game ended do not carry over into New Game Pluses. OTHER THINGS THAT DIFFER ON NG+: • On Pierre's path, Acacia SGT boss fight comes without Acacia PVTs 1st • If you skip the Ice Breath quest, the Dragoon still does not show up at Fort Dragonia's entrance when it normally would. • At Fort Dragonia, in the 'Blue Room,' the Sea Chest/Dragoon locations have been switched. ------------- CONTINUE PLUS ------------- This allows the player to carry over some things into another save file. It cannot be a finished game (one saved at the end prompt), but any other regular save. Items that normally aren't transferable on a NG+ also apply here. _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― TIPS AND TRICKS [TPTR] _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― • When you first get to Termina, components for upgrading are scarce. There is one quick way to get what you need for instant killing tools: destroy that Profiteer Purse! By disassembling the item (which can be found in Van's House, underneath the stairway), one can obtain three @Copper and @Iron components before they're readily available. • When in Viper Manor, there are enemies that are disguised as treasure boxes and will give Serge items/$$ if he attacks the correct one in battle. If he gets it wrong a fight begins...or does it? If you happen to attack a chest that doesn't contain a treasure, simply flee battle and try again. Simple as! • When fighting a battle, if one steals something and flees, that item gets dropped behind. This prevents stacking up on rare items too quickly. What one may not know is that any trapped elements are retained even in defeat! Some battles, like against Bunyip, can produce many hard-to-find elements like Inferno/Volcano. And, after awhile, one can simply use those elements against their former master! Don't forget this! • People may forget how useful Diminish is. When fighting enemies that have innate colors directly opposed to your strongest fighters, use this skill and simply pound away. As long as one isn't offensive-element-dependant, this is a great strategy for battle use. And remember: it only halves the damage done, not the potency of healing elements. It's really quite grand if y'think about it. :p _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― WALKTHROUGH NOTATION [WLKT] _____________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― If you get confused on boss strategies and what stuff means, here's the news on the subject. I'll go by example, but it may be hard to understand just by reading explanations. Go look at the actual strategies to get a good idea on how they work! ------------------------------------------------------------ • -> Indicates the pattern flow from segments to segments ------------------------------------------------------------ EX: PoisonGas -> Attack Χ?? The PoisonGas attack will always precede the Attack, which is repeated an indefinite amount of time (infinitely, most likely). An arrow shows the directivity of the skills/techniques. ----------------------------------------------------------- • Χ?? One attack or segment is repeated indefinitely -or- the attack has a trigger that is currently unknown. ----------------------------------------------------------- EX: Attack Χ?? EX: PoisonGas -> Attack Χ?? -> AcidicGas EX: PoisonGas to AcidicGas (Χ??) -> AeroBlaster The first example has an enemy that only uses physical attacks; the second has a segment where the enemy attacks physically an unknown # of times. It may have a specific trigger or is randomized before moving to the following step. If the 'Χ??' is parenthesized, it only indicates a segment is repeated, not a single move. In the third example, PoisonGas and AcidicGas are used over and over in the order displayed until eventually going into AeroBlaster. It sounds complicated, but it's really not. >__> Sometimes things like 'Χ1-2' appear, meaning the enemy may attack once or twice. Don't be surprised to see things like 'Χ4-5' or something, too. This does NOT mean the enemy attacks four times per turn, or four times in a row mind you -- it just means an enemy uses its turn to attack physically in a # of times that's not completely definite. ----------------------------------------------------------- • () The attack may be dropped entirely from the pattern -or- it may show up only once in the entire pattern ----------------------------------------------------------- EX: AcidicGas -> (PoisonGas) -> AeroBlaster In this example, PoisonGas may or may not be used during a turn. If that is the case during the battle, AcidicGas will skip it completely and launch into AeroBlaster instead. It's worth noting since in some cases losing a step can spell disaster for planning (such as the Wingapede being able to use Tornado a turn early). ----------------------------------------------------------- • to Indicates a repeated portion of attacks ----------------------------------------------------------- EX: Attack to AeroBlaster to Tornado (Χ??) 'To' really functions the same as '->' in a way; this way is just easier because it allows the 'Χ??' part to indicate a string of attacks is done in a planned order. Here, there will always be an Attack leading into an AeroBlaster leading into a Tornado -- the entire string is repeated some unknown # of times. The only time 'to' appears is when strings of attacks are involved. ----------------------------------------------------------- • + Indicates attacks/skills used consecutively ----------------------------------------------------------- EX: Attack -> IceBlast + IceBlast -> Attack Here, IceBlast is used twice in a row. This means that the player does not have a chance to do anything in between; the enemy uses the attack without giving the allies any chance to prepare. ----------------------------------------------------------- [1] Indicates a different strategy altogether ----------------------------------------------------------- EX: Attack -> AeroBlaster -> Attack Χ?? EX: [2] Attack Χ?? -> Tornado -> Attack Χ?? In this case, after 'something' happens to the first attack pattern, the enemy operates on the '[2]' pattern for some duration. The number inside the brackets indicates the different strategies, basically. Sometimes the strategy will change back (such as healing out of critical condition) but sometimes it doesn't. --- One more thing. I wrote the strategies using a new level and then went back over it with a 99-star level to adjust the strategies and make 'em sync up. Some enemies may act differently to stronger allies, I don't know. For one example, during the Solt/Peppor/Ketchop fight, at low levels I never once saw an ElectroBolt used but one was in the strategy when the Lv. 99 guys came through. If a strategy seems off, this may be why. Sorry. :3 _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 00) Dream Sequence "Chasing phantoms in one's dreams..."

The character you named [default: Serge] will be accompanied by a girl named Kid and one randomized character. I always found it easier to change the controller scheme a bit so that holding the O-button is walking instead of running (go to 'Customize' under main menu). Turn on analog mode if you want, also. --- At the fork, head SW on the screen to find a glowing blue exit. A robot foe (Cybot) and a bat () walk the floor here, and touching one means engaging a battle. Since experience doesn't matter in this portion, and no items'll be dropped, you can avoid battles by outmaneuvering the enemy (usually). Fight here to get initiated, if you aren't already -- everyone starts out buffed more than they usually are (element-wise, too). The area is straightforward, so I'll spare the small details. Exiting that first room with enemies eventually wraps back around to itself on a higher ledge. Ignore the stairway by the entrance and use the catwalk to advance to a NW door that has a red symbol on it. Enter inside and shut down the black pillar.die In the previous room, a teleport pad with six circles on it resonates with energy. Make your way onto it, confirm with the x-button, and ride all the way up. See what's happenin' with the door nearby to exit this 'level' and be lulled back into reality... _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 01) Arni Village [Home World] "Where the tides start to turn..."

Down by the item shop [SH01], search the woman's cart to find a [SHELLFISH FRAME]. This allows the player to change the textbox 'frame' under the main menu's Customize option. Near Serge's house, talk to the large man standing 'neath a swordfish; agree with him ("You're probably right!") to receive a key item [KOMODO SCALE]. If you show the Komodo Scale to the kid standing around (w/ Square) he'll want it for his crush; give it to him to receive an [UPLIFT] element. And, no, it isn't possible to hawk it for 1000G. He'll also spit out some information on Poshul... Hmm. Go inside the house next door to Serge's when done. This place gives a good view of the pier. Search the teapot near Poshul's doghouse to find a [PHOTONRAY] element. Yeah, nothing else to do here. Back outside, exit left of Serge's house to find the chief's house. A bucket near the steps contains an [AQUABEAM] element. Inside said house is a save point (record of fate) but you can't use it 'cause people are hogging the line. Let off some anger by robbing the place -- there is a [CURE] element behind one of the pictures to swipe. Chief Radius (outside) will teach you element basics in a battle setting, so try it out if you have to. Back at the town square, enter the house nearest the town exit. It's a cafe to explore. Talk to the waitress if ya want, and check out the "barrel" three times to get another [UPLIFT] element. In the back room, search the unmade bed for a key item [HECKRAN BONE]! There's also an [IVORY HELMET] chest against a wall. ____________________ ________________ | INVITATION: POSHUL | Innate: Yellow | |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | Poshul is the town's wunderdog, pink and fluffy.

Downstairs, talk to the king of the castle to receive a [SHARK TOOTH] key item. With all the extra shenanigans done, go to the pier 'n talk to Leena. She orders Serge to fetch her three komodo scales from Lizard Rock, then wait at Opassa Beach for her. >__> Exit town! --- If you go around the world map, you can 'explore' places by pressing the x- -button.

The first 'secret technique' is demonstrated in the first screen. First, push the rock barring entrance outta the way and get the [FIREBALL] element. Spook the komodo pup to the left so it runs through a wee tunnel, which Serge can then block with the boulder nearby. Go around the side and lure it into the tunnel, where you can then beat it to death for the first komodo scale! In the southern screen, find a beach bum standing by a rock. Destroy it and push the rock into the pond, making a [SILVER LOUPE] chest surface. See where that beach bum is walking on a log? Jump to there and enter the screen past. Kill the Beach Bum and re-enter the screen where the komodo pup fled, at a higher outlook point this time. When the target passes under the cliff, jump down onto it, initiating battle. Komodo Scale #2 obtained! Leave to the NW to find the third screen. This is the one where the fisherman alluded to "playing tag." The Komodo Pup will make Serge chase it around in circles, starting at the bridge back to its initial position. When Serge catches it and kills it, mommy dearest shows up to avenge her extinct brood (make sure not to waste all your good elements on the minions!) .-------------------.--------------.---------.------------------------------. | BOSS: Mama Komodo | INNATE: Blue | HP: 160 | SPOILS: @Fang, Tablet | |-------------------'--------------'---------'------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: AquaBeam | | TO STEAL: --- | | SPECIALS: Breath (blue-innate damage to all allies) | | SquirtGun (blue-innate damage to single target) | | PATTERNS: Attack to AquaBeam/Attack to SquirtGun to Breath (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This momma only uses blue elements, meaning any red elements you can insert into the field effect will help reduce blue elements' damage (or just make sure you don't get a full blue field). It's attacks can do quite a lot of damage when powered up, usually 30+, so use Tablets to heal since that'll help decrease fire damage. The "attack -> attack -> defend" strategy works well here, especially against the Breath tech, which always follows Mama's SquirtGun. Fierce physical attacks may be a bit more useful here than any elements, but that's just me. Make sure both allies survive so they get the full effect of their 'level-up.' 264G received upon defeat and the first level-up star. With the last Komodo Scale in tow, get the rest of the goodies 'round here. There is a [TABLET] chest under the bridge to get, and if you enter a hole by the exit, it shoots everyone towards the pond's higher part. Get the [@BONE] component and walk under the northern 'tunnel' to get another [IVORY HELMET] chest. Backtrack to the exit and leave. Save if ya want, it doesn't matter too much. Watch the events at Opassa Beach with Leena. If you want to get her final technique "MaidenFaith" later in the game, answer that Serge does "remember the day" and "we'll never forget this day!!" after that. This will be enough to get the tech, although there's a 3rd one later in case y'screw this part up. After some awesome scenes, listen to the best line in the game ("Do you think Leena thpontaneouthry combuthted?") before re-entering Lizard Rock. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 03) Lizard Rock [Another World] "Nothing has changed but everything!"

This is actually part of a character named Skelly, who 'joins' the party if you find all his errant pieces. For now, the [HEAVY SKULL] key item's the only part to get by agreeing to help him. There's also a key item [BELLFLOWER] on a cliff, 'guarded' by a weird plant monster that's a non-issue.

The foes haven't changed much from the previous encounter (i.e. romp), besides being able to use their own techs. Pepporbox is used in conjunction with LoRes to have a more powerful attack, and the dual attack 'CrossCut' (red-innate) is used to x-strike one target...too bad it can only be used when both of them is alive. Pay attention to the field effect 'cause any blue characters (Leena) can take serious damage in this battle. Most people write this battle off as child's play, and it is kinda, but don't get sloppy. Summersolt (blue-innate) is used when Peppor is put outta commission, and is expectedly weak like its user. As I wrote the battle patterns, it seems that Peppor only uses attacks once Solt is knocked out, so that's the way to go for an easy victory. Third level-up star gotten after winning. Congrats! Serge, Kid/Leena, and Poshul should know have their first tech set in a Lv. 3 slot of the element grid. It can't be removed, but why would you wanna do that anyway? Serge, Poshul, and Leena get a purely offensive attack, while Kid gets the ability to steal. Hooray for you! Termina is right around the corner. Exit onto the world map and go there. Any other location open right now (Viper Manor, Shadow Forest) will get ya thrown back onto the curb, bro. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 07) Termina [Another World] [D-07] _______________________________________________________________________________ ―| ITEMS / ELEMENTS ―――――――――――――――――――――――――| CHARACTERS TO INVITE ―――――――――|― | | | | • Tea for Three Frame • Profiteer Purse | • Nikki -. | | • Hero's Medal • Tele-Porter | • Guile |- CAN ONLY GET ONE | |___________________________________________| • Pierre -' | | • Kid | |_______________________________| _____ ___ /E 2/ | \ /\ /_ __/ [LEGEND] \ / /D \ // \/\_/ /\ \// A - Inn ______ ___ ____ / 3 ) ) / B - Bar + Guile |__ _||1 |_| | \ \/ / C - Element Shop TO _| |__| H _ | \/\ / D - Smithy FESTIVAL |______ _| |____| / / Pierre SHIP ____ | | ______ / / E - Van's House | | |__B | | | | C___| / / F - Greco's House ___| |_________| |_| |__| |___ ___|G|__________ G - Korcha |___________________ ________|______________ | H - Kid | | ______ DOCK AREA |_|_____ 1 - Tea for Three |H| | A___| | |_ _F_| Frame ___| |__| |_ __| |_| | 2 - Profiteer |___ ______| |G | ___| Purse |_| ――| | ) 3 - Hero's Medal ENTER | |__| | |______| Kid will be here waiting for Serge's team to arrive.

If you still don't accept, she can be missed (pending choices | | made) at a later date. | |___________________________________________________________________________| Kid talks about infiltrating Viper Manor, which sets off the next course of events: finding a guide. There are three possible guides to get; whichever is picked, the two others cannot be obtained in the same playthrough. The people are: • Nikki [Blue ] -> I like him, but he's only 'decent' for the most part. • Guile [Black] -> Pretty dang good, but you may have a black-innate already • Pierre [Blue ] -> A complete faux-hero wuss, who sucks. A lot. I hate him. Well, while you mull over the first of the two "big" decisions in the game, let's search stuff around town: • [TEA FOR THREE FRAME] - There is a man standing in the shade of the house to the left of the General Viper statue. He's not visible, but when you approach he talks and eventually asks if you 'get his drift.' Answer yes to receive the item. • [PROFITEER PURSE] - In Van's house, check beneath the mansion's foyer's stairway to find a hidden chest containing this item. Although this item increases gained gold by ~123%, it's far better off being disassembled because it gives three @Copper and @Iron from it. This allows a party to be instantly suited for Viper Manor and is really just a great idea. Make some Iron Mail and an Iron Swallow to be good to go, yo! After picking which guide you want, read their sections below! NOTE: You _cannot_ change party members while inside Viper Manor, so make sure to bring those who won't completely slight you (i.e. don't bring Poshul if you want a furious element-caster). _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― NIKKI'S ROUTE (Shadow Forest) "Where lies the key to the past..."

BEGIN: Enter the festival boat at anchor in Termina's port and talk to the manager. Miki, a dancer in the show, will come in and ask you to help find their missing singer (Nikki) who's been seen in a daze around Shadow Forest. Agree to her request and let's go...rockin'! Shadow Forest can be accessed from the world map, east of Termina. Miki will have chased off the dragoons guarding the entrance, so let's boogie!

Follow him to find a bunch of Cassowary enemies going in for the kill. And, yes, they are indeed bosses... .------------------------------. | SPOILS (Common -> Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.---------+------------------------------| | BOSS: Cassowary | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 100 | Uplift -> @Feather | |-----------------'----------------'---------'------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: --- | | TO STEAL: Ivory Mail / ElectroJolt | | SPECIALS: --- | | PATTERNS: Attack Χ?? | |___________________________________________________________________________| Uh...alright. Because all three paths have to have one boss fight, this one ends up being a crappy stall battle. There are three Cassowary enemies that are pestering Nikki -- who shows up as an uncontrollable ally in this fight by the way -- but they're really nothing more than regular enemies. Things like AeroSaucer will rip 'em a new one, so if you picked up any in Termina, it's smooth sailing. 249G awarded for victory + the 4th level-up star. Nikki retreats into the cave nearby, so follow him in. ___________________ ______________ | INVITATION: Nikki | INNATE: Blue | |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | The rockin' bard who is to play the Termina Festival joins up if Serge'll | | let him.

He gives up some 'valuable' | | information on clearing the large monster (Quadffid) out of the way, even | | if you don't invite him. Hooray for gender-neutral allies! | |___________________________________________________________________________| After some dialogue, re-enter the cave and get the [AROMA POUCH] from the chest and the [ANGRY SCAPULA] piece of Skelly's body by searching the tablet near the blob-monster. There are are three monsters around, and they have different effects on the monster. Once you find a pollen that matches the monster's color, lure it towards the quadffid monster... • RED ----> Quadffid flees and leaves a [SKULLDUGGERY FRAME] behind! • BLUE ---> Fight with Quadffid! • GREEN --> Fight with Quadffid! The fight's optional and doesn't give any level-up stars, but I'll list it anyway for posterity: .-------------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common > Rare) | .-----------------.---------------.---------+-------------------------------| | BOSS: Quadffid | INNATE: Green | HP: 200 | @Seed, Bushbasher | |-----------------'---------------'---------'-------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Bushbasher, Bushwhacker, Heal | | TO STEAL: Antidote, BatEye | | SPECIALS: Devour (green-innate attack on 1 ally + Poison status) | | PATTERNS: Attack Χ1-4 to Bushwhacker/Bushbasher/Devour Χ1-5 (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| After much trying, I couldn't seem to get a decent strategy down for this one -- it just seems way too randomized. Plus, since there's no starting point that I can identify, it's hard to form any decent counterstrategy besides throwing yellow elements and powered-up physical attacks with the Steel Swallow. It absorbs green elements, too. 314G received for winning Past there, however, an actual boss trio shows up. Sort of. Well, not really. Zoah is the guy who TALKS IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS that was guarding the forest entrance before. You should know the other two. >_> .---------------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common -> Rare) | .--------------.----------------.---------+---------------------------------| | BOSS: Solt | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 80 | Ivory Vest -> @Copper | | BOSS: Zoah | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 200 | Ivory Mail -> Bronze Glove | | BOSS: Peppor | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 90 | Ivory Helmet -> @Copper | |--------------'----------------'---------'---------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Strengthen, LoRes, HiRes, EagleEye | | TO STEAL: (Solt ) Ivory Helm, TurnBlack | | (Zoah ) Knee Pad | | (Peppor) Tablet, Knee Pad | | SPECIALS: DragonRider (Yellow-innate attack on 1 trgt ; used by Zoah) | | : Pepporbox (Red-innate attack on single target; used by Peppor) | | : Summersolt (Blue-innate attack on single target; used by Solt) | | : CrossCut (Red-innate dual attack on 1 target; Solt/Peppor only) | | PATTERNS: (Solt ) Golem -> LoRes + HiRes -> Summersolt/Upheaval to | | Attack to CrossCut to Attack (Χ??) | | [2] (Solt ) Upheaval Χ1-3 to Summersolt Χ1-2 to Upheaval to Attack | | (Χ??)

(Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| Laughably, Solt tries to use a Golem summon which, of course, can't be used unless the field is all yellow. It's basically the same schtick as last time except Solt and Peppor will use two elements consecutively (non-offensive) to buff themselves before using their special techs. Take out Solt to prevent any trouble from Peppor, and try to take Zoah out because he uses DragonRider every third turn. If you take out Peppor or Zoah first, Solt's more likely to use Upheaval (inflicts Sprain, attack decreases), which may come quite a few times. He can still use it if his allies are alive, but not as much...bombard him with green elements ASAP and have fun. 460G received for winning and the 5th level-up star, too. Collect the [HEAL] element from the chest and head into the large cave 'neath the massive tree. Get the [MAGMABOMB] element chest in the short waterway passage beyond, watching out for annoying Gloops/Gerridae that attack in the claustrophobic place. Right after, get up on land and destroy a Wraith (will be easy with Serge); move that boulder behind it in front of the Gerridaes' hole to proceed upriver easier. --- NOTE: There is no free healing inside the manor, so bring curative items and antidotes to prepare for all obstacles within. Seriously, go do it! --- There's a well basin beyond, meaning Viper Manor's right above. This ends the Nikki route, since things beyond will all be the same. ^__~ Go to [D-11] to continue. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― PIERRE'S ROUTE (Viper Manor Gate) "Where lies the key to the past..."

His Hero's Medal boosts his evasion by 24%, so he may not be merely a meat shield. To enter Viper Manor, simply stroll in there from the world map! It's no wonder this one's the shortest route. =) --- STOCK UP ON HEALING ITEMS AND ANTIDOTES, because once you enter the gates, it's impossible to leave. There's no free healing inside, so don't say I didn't warn ya. --- Approach the gate guards and pick your decision ("Think up a plan" is the funniest). Defeat the two Acacia PVTs and face the SGTs! For some reason, they're set up as an actual boss fight. Well, gotta make do with what's doled out... >__> .------------------------------. | SPOILS (Common -> Rare) | .------------------.----------------.--------+------------------------------| | BOSS: Acacia SGT | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 84 | @Copper, Meteorite | |------------------'----------------'--------'------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: --- | | TO STEAL: Bronze Helmet / Capsule | | SPECIALS: AcaciaBlade (Yellow-innate attack on one target) | | PATTERNS: Attack Χ?? -> AcaciaBlade (when one left) | |___________________________________________________________________________| There are two of 'em, but they're not much more than PVTs with some stock options and lame armor. Acacia Blade hurts if the field effect's a nice, pure yellow, but not that much. I've noticed that they only seem to use it when on SGT is downed, so if you weaken 'em both at once, it's magnifique. Try to steal a Bronze Helmet! Winning nets one the 4th level-up star. The bad thing about this level-up is that you can't retreat to get those extra stat gains. Oh, well...sacrifices have to be made... Head north to find our favorite bumbling buffoons... .--------------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common -> Rare) | .---------------.----------------.---------+--------------------------------| | BOSS: Solt | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 150 | @Copper, @Copper | | BOSS: Peppor | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 180 | Brace, Magic Ring | | BOSS: Ketchop | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 260 | Silver Earring (100%) | |---------------'----------------'---------'--------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: LoRes, Strengthen, FirePillar, ElectroJolt, ElectroBolt | | TO STEAL: (Solt ) = Bronze Vest / Dancing Shoes | | (Peppor ) = Plaster Cap / Power Glove | | (Ketchop) = Tablet / Power Glove | | : Pepporbox (Red-innate attack on single target; used by Peppor) | | SPECIALS: (Ketchop) FlameKnock - red-innate attack on target, Solt/Peppor | | PATTERNS: (Solt ) Revive/CurePlus -> Attack to LoRes/ElectroJolt to | | (ElectroBolt) (Χ??) | | (Solt ) LoRes [if Peppor attacked by Serge; Lv2 atks cumultiv?] | (Peppor ) Attack to Strengthen/FirePillar/Pepporbox (Χ??) | | (Peppor ) Strengthen [if Solt attacked by Serge; Lv2+ atk cmltv?] | (Ketchop) Attack Χ?? -> (ElectroJolt) -> Attack Χ?? | | [2] (Ketchop) FlameKnock -> Attack Χ?? | |___________________________________________________________________________| Wow, what a fun fight. Ketchop will OHKO Serge for about 400dmg and Solt'll use a Revive element on him to display their fierceness...? Huh? Well, this doesn't matter -- immediately heal Serge. When Solt/Peppor is put into critical condition, Ketchop uses FlameKnock to KO both of them, so if you keep your HP high until then, Ketchop's the only dunce that has to be sent packing. Use Pilfer if Kid's with before that time, if you wanna steal any of their good items. Luckily, tomato-boy is extremly dumb and snail-paced, meaning one can get in about five attacks to his one. Not much more to do 'sides shoving a swallow into its ugly mug. FlameKnock, even though it's only used once, can still kill a target if the field effect has any red, so shove some blue in there and defend if possible. PS - FlameKnock seems to hit whatever target gets LoRes'd by Solt. 500G received for the win. (NOTE - If Ketchop doesn't kill someone that first turn, Solt will use CurePlus instead of Revive). The 5th level-up star comes at this time, too. Get the [TURNYELLOW] element behind the gate before heading into the mansion proper. This ends the incredibly fun/crappy adventures with Pierre, I hope. Go to [D-11] to get a move on. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― GUILE'S ROUTE (Viper Bluffs) "Where lies the key to the past..."

He's the demi-human kid who talks like thisCHA, and can be seen at the bridge east of the element shop. After talking to him, he'll go down by the shrines. You can see a scene with Glenn and Riddel here (give'm the Bellflower you got at Fossil Valley for free, if you have it), and once they leave, follow the path they took to find Korcha. He'll say he can take the party to the bluffs but a guide is needed first. If not Pierre / Nikki, then whom? Well, well... ___________________ _______________ | INVITATION: Guile | INNATE: Black | |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | Guile is full of guile, and is in fact a magician by trade.

He's pretty good but his element | | grid blows, as it's inverted (starts out bad, gets better later). Don't | | expect him to function as great backup early on, folks. | |___________________________________________________________________________| This is the route I recommend going, not only because you get a character who doesn't suck completely, but because you can level up inbetween getting the stars (unlike that dingaling Pierre's shenanigans). It's just a shame Guile's element grid is a PIECE OF CRAP! Don't expect him to pull you out of too many jams. Note that once you use him as a guide to the bluffs, you can return and switch him out for someone else. I prefer a Serge/Kid/Poshul party, m'self... --- Korcha will take everyone to the bluffs automatically, and we can begin the uphill climb. Note that the map's perspective is purely 2-D to fit the field POV. As soon as you start, an Acacia knight will start dropping boulders down the cliffside; should the party leader be hit by one, that's -10 HP right there!

Go west along the cliff and try to climb up. There's a waterjet there that can knock Serge and co. back into the previous screen near a [PHOTONRAY] chest. Climb down, repeat the steps, and get back to that waterjet. Time your climb correctly to evade it to find a [HEAL] atop the ladder. [Dreamistt writes that, apparently, one can steal an entire Copper Swallow from the Gobledygook appearing near here -- could be useful.] Use the waterjet to reset Serge's position to the rock bottom again, and take the regular ladder by the dock. Follow up to a waterjet and use it to get the [TABLET] on a small ledge right below. Up past it, where a lone Gobledygook flies, there are three paths. The leftmost leads to a [METEORITE] element chest while the rightmost's a dead-end path. Take the middle! Once in the new screen, continue straight up and take the first left to a VERY long ladder (watch for rocks!) that leads to your first [FREEFALL TRAP] element. Descend back to the current screen's bottom, taking the righthand ladder. This leads up to the top, eventually, where the stone-thrower will do battle...to the death! .-----------------------------. | SPOILS (Common -> Rare) | .------------------.----------------.---------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Acacia PVT | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 70 | Tablet, PhotonRay | |------------------'----------------'---------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: --- | | TO STEAL: Ivory Helmet / Capsule | | SPECIALS: StormBlow (yellow-innate atk on one ally) | | PATTERNS: Attack Χ?? to StormBlow (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This is nearly the same skirmish that can be fought on the Pierre path, so it follows the same strategy (as if mindless violence didn't work well). A little boost of HP is all these two have, although unlike most enemies 'til now, they'll attack multiple times on their turns. They still suck, don't get me wrong, but can pick off characters who've been damaged beforehand by the rocks and/or Poison. Don't drop your guard for StormBlow! The real ones to fight are comin' right up. 320G received for winning + 4th level-up star Immediately after, in fact! A gigantic eagle-person flies in afterwards and blocks progression into the mansion. Since that is also a boss, it's highly recommended you go and fight battles with your other characters to get those level-up bonuses. Yeah, I talk about them a lot -- they seriously add up, though! Get out your shotguns when ready, 'cause it's open season on these turkeys.

They also have techniques that match their element, and use them in annoying fashion. They can inflict burn/freeze on occasion, making them even more annoying. Can they get more annoying than that? Why yes -- if both are alive, King Moaman can use his own special technique TwinTurbo to deal heavy damage to one target. He'll use it as much as possible, so take out one of the lackeys to stop it. Dash&Slash + Meteorite will help destroy the king easier, but even better is if Serge has upgraded to a Steel Swallow (see: Profiteer Purse trick) which will dig into it like Thanksgiving dinner. When both lackeys are dead, the King starts to use a bunch of Gravitonnes, so hurry it up to make sure everyone survives intact! The 5th level-up star's received for winning. Everyone waits 'til nightfall to invade the manor.

There will be spotlights out to catch predators, but it's only a short walk north to the barn. This one is used to house the Acacia Dragoons' famous dragons. Talk to the handler around here and pose as the new trainers; he'll talk about feeding the dragons. Serge will be placed in front of the stables and have to feed hay bales to the dragons (with x-button) by moving in front of 'em.

To the east is the gate where one enters with Pierre's team; get the [TURNYELLOW] element in the half-hidden chest behind the front gate (may not be able to see well in the darkness). Enter the mansion proper by defeating the SGTs guarding the door. The Manor Key'll open that thing right up. New map approaching! NOTE: You will not be able to change party members once you fall through the trapdoor! |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | 5 - Dragoon's Honor 14 - IceLance | | 6 - TurnGreen 15 - Silver Pendant | | 7 - Revive 16 - TurnBlack | | 8 - 100G 17 - 100G | | 9 - AeroSaucer 18 - IceLance | | 10 - Hero's Shield 19 - Decor Shield | | 11 - Bronze Sword 20 - Bronze Helmet | | 12 - Bronze Mail 21 - Dragoon Gauntlet | | 13 - 100G 22 - TurnWhite | | 23 - TurnRed | |_________________________________________________________________| _____ Locked |LYNX | \_ |_ _ _| ____ | |___| |_______| | |_____ _______ | |_| |____| ___| |_ _______ | | / 22 \________|_ _|__ | MARCY ____________ ____| \_______/ | | _____ | | KARSH ZOAH | 17 | | | _____ _____ |16 18| Locked |_| | 21 | | | |_ _| _/ __| |__ |_ _| |_ _| __| |_____| |_____________| SNAKE |_______| |_______| |_____ .-|__________________________ STATUE _________________________|--. | |__ __| | | | | | | |_| <-ENTER | | | | BARRACKS DINING HALL --- BASEMENT --- 23 LAB | | ________ ___________ __\___ _____ _____ | | | 7 SAVE| 6 5| TREASURE VAULT -> |10 11 |NEO-N| 19| | | |____ _|_ ___ _| |13 12|BULBS| 20| | | _| |___| |___| |_ _____________ |14 15|_ _|_ _| | | _| |_ _| |_ ―| |―― | |___| |_ | '--|_ _|_ _|―― ―――― |--' |_________________| |______ ____|__――――――――――――――――――― |______|_ |_ | 8 9| <- JAIL AREA ―――― In the foyer, inspect the coiled-snake statue and input a random rotation # to fall through the floor (it's randomized each time you play) into the lower basement floor (B1). After falling into a collection cage, some soldiers pick a fight with the allies after Kid taunts 'em or Serge bangs on the door a bit (reminiscent of CTrigger much?). Achieve victory in battle to snag their lame knight outfits...except Poshul whose roly-poly frame can't fit. ^_________^ Head downstairs into the jail area and inspect the treasure chest. It'll be a monster duo, actually -- attack the right one and win a prize; attack the wrong one and prepare to fight. Actually it doesn't matter since you can run from battle and start the whole process over. Win [100G] and an [AEROSAUCER] (not sure if that's always received) for the correct pick. [NOTE: Some people have said they've won different elements here, so it may be random.] Go back to the cage y'all fell in and enter the left hallway. Word of advice: don't walk on the red carpet unless you want to fight patrol enemies that drop down from the ceiling. It's a waste of time; don't bother with 'em if you don't need to. Head into the dining hall and talk to Glenn (or eavesdrop on his convo) to hear something about...a password combination? Glenn leaves for the barracks afterwards. Get the [DRAGOON'S HONOR] chest in the corner, and a [TURNGREEN] element in the cabinet near Orcha; then, follow Glenn out. _______________________ | OPTIONAL: Guile's Bet | |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | In case you haven't been paying much attention to Guile's plight, he and | | Termina's fortune-teller have a bet that he can't claim an item from the | | manse's dining room. That item, of course, is a Dragoon's Honor (not the | | Revive element, if you've heard that) -- simply pick it up, get a reward | | later on. | |___________________________________________________________________________| He'll go to the barracks, and if you're fast enough, you'll catch him writing the foyer's password on the wall next to his bed; if you're slow, he'll just be standing there and the player won't get the vital clue (the writing will still be done, though). The password is # right, # left -- it's randomized in every playthrough. Remember this because you'll have to do the input later. Get the incredible [REVIVE] element in the barracks before exiting. For now, head upstairs through the 'case near the quarters. One door up here leads to chestwith a [TURNBLACK] element in it and another 'boxer' duo. It's possible to earn a [100G] and an [ICELANCE] element. The corridor is blocked by a roborg here, though; exit downstairs and head east to the opposite basement section. There will be two guards and a Roborg here. Talk to the guards twice to be asked for a password. When the options come up, don't pick any -- eventually 'silence' will be revealed as the password. Enter the vault to find Kid (if she's not with you) and some goodies on pedestals: [BRONZE SWORD], a suit of [BRONZE MAIL], and the key item [HERO'S SHIELD]. The latter can be used only with Pierre, if that wuss is along. Also, inspect that little chest to fight for your treasure -- [100G] and an [ICELANCE] element -- with the Big Boxer and Li'l Boxer. Remember that one can flee battle to have a clean slate at guessing which it is. If you inspect a vase here, you'll find it's actuallly a monster called 'Potty'. Defeat it for a [TURNRED] element. When you take the [SILVER PENDANT] hanging on the wall, the party is sent into Luccia's lab. A boss fresh from the operating table is served up! .------------------------------. | SPOILS (Common -> Rare) | .------------------.---------------.---------+------------------------------| | BOSS: Neo-N-Bulb | INNATE: Green | HP: 160 | AeroSaucer, EagleEye | |------------------'---------------'---------'------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Bushwhacker, Bushbasher | | TO STEAL: @Seed / Heal | | SPECIALS: --- | | PATTERNS: Attack -> Bushwhacker/Bushbasher (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| Two of these guys to turn into mulch. Poshul'll rock many casbahs here, if she's with. Regardless, attacks like ElectroJolt are the way to go here. Simply pound 'em with elements and use RecoverAll when the damage gets sent around enough. Bushbasher can inflict poison status as well, and when one bulb's dead, green elements really start to fly. If you got TurnBlack, use that to inflict extra damage with Serge's swallow. 400G and the 6th lvl-up star awarded for winning. Afterwards, talk to the caged monster in the room's corner (Pip) and unlock it for him. He can't be recruited now, but at a later date, if you perform this small favor for him. Luccia also says she's willing to help if Serge's team needs it...just not right now. Enter into the hallway and bust up that roborg if you want to get back to the barracks' save point. Anyway, next door to the lab is a storage room -- enter by sneaking past the portalgheist when its eye's closed. Inside, get the [DECOR SHIELD] and stick it on the armor set that's missing one. This'll let you fight some Man-O-War (x5) enemies if y'want, but more importantly, they drop Capsules one can use to heal (since there isn't one in the manor). There's a [BRONZE HELMET] in here, too, but nothing else worth noting. Head upstairs via the hallway. The portalgheist-guarded room leads to Zoah's chambers, and the other leads to Karsh's -- and the only one that matters. Inspect the chest within twenty (20) times to finally exhaust Karsh's patience and get a [DRAGOON GAUNTLET]! The main lobby is now available once again, so input the password you learned from Glenn and head north. There will be a large hall with three exits, but only the left way's free for travel. Past the outdoor catwalk, enter the library tower and talk to a li'l girl. Some scenes with the prophet of time will play, and then it turns out, well, that li'l girl has some not-so-li'l abilities. Giddyup! .-----------------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common -> Rare) | .--------------.--------------.---------+-----------------------------------| | BOSS: Marcy | INNATE: Blue | HP: 525 | IceBlast, @Iron | |--------------'--------------'---------'-----------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: IceBlast, IceLance, CurePlus | | TO STEAL: Silver Loupe / Dancing Shoes | | SPECIALS: Cat'sCradle (blue-innate dmg to one ally) | | PATTERNS: Attack Χ?? | | [2] Cat'sCradle -> IceBlast + IceBlast -> Attack to IceLance (Χ??) | | [3] CurePlus -> Attack Χ4-5 to IceLance (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This battle can be a major annoyance if anyone's inflicted with Frozen, but there's always fleeing battle for that. The main thing is that Marcy won't use any elements until she's put in critical condition (slouching posture); it's at this time her attack strategy changes and she starts using ice-type attacks. However, it's easy to get a jump on her by painting the field red or white with elements before then, depending on who you want to buff. Any reader to this walkthrough knows I suggested dismantling that Profiteer Purse to get a Steel Swallow right off the bat, and that can do 70+ damage to her with fierce attacks. S'pose the only thing to watch out for here is that double whammy of IceBlast, which she uses twice in a row when her HP's reduced to about 50%. RecoverAll can undo the damage if Serge (who it's best on) isn't frozen. She won't use it (IceBlast) again after that anyway, so you can sneak in a bunch of Tablets to change the field effect faster. This helps reduce CurePlus' effect when her HP's in critical condition. A win nets the player 780G + 7th level-up star. Marcy leaves and the prophet divulges the way to get further in the mansion. Two screens back, in the large hall, there's a switch behind the lefthand side's second-from-last pillar. Get the [TURNWHITE] element on the third floor by using the bookshelf ladder-dropping switch. Return to the main hall, meet Harle, press the button, and destroy the SGT/PVTs that attack. Now the way upwards is completely clear. In the small hallway beyond, save the game and enter the door the blue carpet leads toward. After some searchin' around the office, inspect the glowing blue orb to view some scenes. Culminating in, of course, a DEATHMATCH! .---------------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common -> Rare) | .--------------.----------------.---------+---------------------------------| | BOSS: Lynx | INNATE: Black | HP: 820 | Pendragon Sigil C, Gravitonne | |--------------'----------------'---------'---------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Imbecile, Gravitonne, AntiWhite, Imbecile, HellSoul | | TO STEAL: Magic Ring, Power Glove | | SPECIALS: --- | | PATTERNS: Attack Χ?? to Gravitonne (Χ??) | | HellSoul (can be used when in critical condition) | | AntiWhite (used turn after being hit with white element) | | Imbecile (used turn after being hit with non-white element) | |___________________________________________________________________________| To start, whoever has the RecoverAll or Revive should not use a white element on Lynx since he'll counter with AntiWhite on his next turn, making all white types unusuable for a while. Luckily, most of the time he just straight attacks, doing 'decent' damage to Serge but not-so-decent damage to everyone else. After incurring skill damage, he'll pick a target and use Imbecile, decreasing someone's MGC stat for awhile. When finally brought to critical condition, he will use HellSoul to try and OHKO people. In a way, Lynx's movements are controlled by the player, in that he doesn't /counter/ elements, but wastes his next turn with his retaliation. 500G won for a clean-cut victory + 8th level-up star. Watch the scenes and it's off to Guldove... Save when the menu opens, if you want to. There's a big path split coming up, the second of two...be prepared! ############################################################################ Take off Kid's elements and such because you won't get them back for awhile! ############################################################################ _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 09) Guldove [Another World] "Where ripples become waves..."

Kid ends up falling ill, though... After checking into the town clinic, she gives our protagonist her [ASTRAL AMULET] to hold on to. Now, this is where the path splits. Serge can choose to look for a way to save Kid, or give in to the situation's futility. The choice changes some of the characters that can be recruited. When Korcha asks what Serge is going to do, "...I don't know" and "...There's nothing we can do" go towards leaving her and "Find a way to save her" goes toward the hunt for Hydra Humour. I'll break down the characters specific to the paths: OPTION #1: Korcha, Mel, Razzly Korcha isn't terribly awesome, but Mel has a double-tech with Kid if she's recruited. Razzly is very decent, though...her last tech RazFlower is just pretty difficult to get. Two outta three ain't bad. People with a conscience will choose this path. >=p Saving Kid is probably the easier route, as one obtains the Astral Amulet earlier and can steal Moonglasses from an upcoming optional boss (rather than her dropping them). OPTION #2: Doc, Macha, Glenn Most people choose this path because of the last character, Glenn. Not only is he one of the most powerful people in the game, but he has a double-tech with Serge called X-Strike (like in CTrigger). The other two probably won't be used, but man, Glenn's a catch if you pick this path. Definitely worthwhile to go this path, moreso than the other if you don't have any pangs of guilt for not saving Kid. >__> Also, since you're not required to go to Hydra Marshes yet, y'can wait until the 16th star and get trap Tornadoes from the Wingapede boss (thanks to Guillaume Audet for this tip.) YOU CAN STILL RECRUIT KID LATER IF YOU CHOOSE THIS PATH. Choosing this path means that Kid won't join the party until very late in the game. She's not missable per se (unless one purposely doesn't try to invite her or do any sidequests pertaining to it), but it's an awful long time to wait nonetheless. Before going on with the path-splitting, I'll give the items that're able to be found on either path: • [PELVIC BONE] - Obtain from the element trader standing by the town dock by choosing 'Trade'. When you quit talking to her, she'll want you to dispose of the weird bone she has. Accept to get the dang thing. • [GREEN TINKLER] - After talking with the shaman, go inside the bar and talk with the drunken dwarf twice. He'll hand it over. Apparently, this thing'll control some plants in the Hydra Marsh in order to get further into the swamp... • [FEATHERY DRESS] - Check behind Macha's house to find a 'secret' entrance that leads to a storage room. This is done by going around the blindspot on the midlevel walkway (tower is three stories tall). Stealing Mel's stuff ain't nice... The walkthrough for this section splits slightly on proceeding with the story so read the column according to your choice. ---------------------------------------.--------------------------------------.

And just for the heck of it, you can find a secret entrance in the library tower. Search behind the desk to find a downward ladder. There's a BeachBum that hands over the [PORRE'S FURNACE FRAME], and can change party members' names after that. A throwback to the Nus of yore? Hmm. There is also a single [SILVER EARRING] on the desk in Luccia's Lab. REMINDER: All areas on El Nido can be explored now, so if you haven't been to the bluffs/Shadow Forest yet, do so now. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― PATH A: Hydra Marshes [Home World] [D-14] _______________________________________________________________________________ ―| ITEMS / ELEMENTS ―――――――――――――――――――――――――| ENEMIES ――――――――――――――――――――――|― | | | | • @Feather • @Bone | • Swarmp Bug | | • Brace • Beeba Flute | • Potpourri | | • Bushbasher • Cure | • Beeba | | • RecoverAll • AeroSaucer | • DaggyDwarf | | • Ointment • Medicine | • Quadffid | | • Hydra Humour | • DaffyDwarf | |___________________________________________|_______________________________| Talk to the guy at the entrance to be permitted through.

The enemies use no elements and simply attack a few times a turn on occasion, so dominating the field effect is a cakewalk. If Serge has a Steel Swallow, the battle is expedited a bit. For those who have trouble, try packing one character (Leena/Greco) with healing items of their element and simply using them as the 'white mage' of the group. Serge can use RecoverAll if he needs to, also. Don't forget how useful defending can be! 640G awarded for killing five Beebas, but no star is awarded for this demi-boss fight. The trounced Beeba forks over a [BEEBA FLUTE] chest behind, saying it should be used in a wide-open space to call a Wingapede. Sounds kinda fishy, but meh... Save the game and continue along the road. You can fight another Beeba for a [BUSHBASHER]...just know it's the same as the last fight, pretty much. In the dead-end screen past there, blow the flute to summon a 'boss' of some sort... .-------------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common > Rare) | .-----------------.---------------.---------+-------------------------------| | BOSS: Wingapede | INNATE: Green | HP: 430 | AeroSaucer, @Leather | |-----------------'---------------'---------'-------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: AeroSaucer, AeroBlaster, Tornado | | TO STEAL: --- | | SPECIALS: AcidicGas (Green-innate attack on allies + Poison status) | | PoisonGas (Green-innate; tries to inflict 'Poison' on allies) | | PATTERNS: AcidicGas -> Attack -> AeroSaucer -> AcidicGas to Attack to | | Aeroblaster (Χ??) | | [2] PoisonGas to Attack Χ2 to PoisonGas to Attack to Tornado (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| If you equipped Antitoxinal Caps on everyone as a precautionary measure, it makes this battle twenty times less trying...PoisonGas will also miss every time its cast. This battle isn't so hard for the most part but Wingapede's fast, no doubt about it. Unleash the most powerful attacks you have at the moment (IceBlast, FirePillar, etc.) and try to defeat it in doubletime. The reason for the fast killing is that it can use Tornado when in in critical condition, on its sixth turn. It will be slumping in midair so one knows it's near death. Take it out fast to prevent any unnecessary mishaps, since Tornado can do 100+ with minimal field effect boosting. Hopefully you have the RecoverAll from the Viper Manor dragon-feeding game, 'cause it's made for this battle. AeroBlaster's the only other nuisance, doing 70+ to any yellow-innate character. 164G awarded for the victory, but no level-up star to show for it... (PS - Make sure you're prepared to fight because running away to train isn't possible...you can only access the menu and heal!!!). After defeating the Wingapede, it cracks the ground below it. Save and step on it, even after a party member warns you about its feeble state. Everyone plummets below, landing on a gigantic monster... Get the [RECOVERALL] behind the caged fairy before you do anything unwise. You can leave without fighting the boss, but if you talk to the fairy, you'll have to do battle before she's saved.

Its 'Whop' attack is pretty powerful and can do 70+ damage, but it gets into a flow where it only uses it every 5th turn. This gives plenty of time to turn the field effect a different color than blue. BEWARE using red offensive elements -- it randomly picks an ally to be attacked with Hexahitter, which is more powerful than Whop. Using Tablets or something to change the field effect's perfectly alright, though. 606G awarded for winning, but still no level-up star! =( ____________________ _______________ | INVITATION: Razzly | INNATE: Green | |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | After defeating Pentapus, simply open the fairy's cage.

Razzly | | has bronze equipment on her already, so she's readymade for the battles! | |___________________________________________________________________________| Climb up the ladder to appear in a swamp screen, the one just north of the entrance. You can use the Green Tinkler to get back to the save point again, if you have it; otherwise it's the long way around for ya. Just don't jump down the pit again or everyone'll get Sprains! Continue north from the room that uses the Green Tinklers to get through to find two quadffids laying around. Try to defeat 'em and win some Bushbashers, since they'll be useful for the coming boss fights. Their rare drops're AeroBlasters, and are even better! There are only three quadffids in the forest, but re-entering the area will make them respawn. Past there, save. Notice the dwarves standing around nearby? Don't approach them yet, since they're the bosses of sorts. Get the [ANTIDOTE] on the lower path and exit that way. There'll be a little pond here with a Quadffid in it and a small tunnel in the east where a dwarf's wandering around. Get the [OINTMENT] chest hidden in there and head back to the dwarves I told you to avoid. You'll probably want Razzly for these ones 'cause (1) she rocks many casbahs (2) is a green-innate (3) uses AeroBlaster and RazStar to a great degree! She's, like, the kewlest? Yeah. If you want to farm AeroBlasters, you'll need to reload from a save to make 'em reappear. Anyway, approach the dawdling dwarves for battle! .------------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common, Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.---------+------------------------------| | Dwarf | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 150 | Uplift, Bronze Mail | | DaggyDwarf x 2 | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 100 | @Fur, Bronze Vest | | DaffyDwarf x 3 | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 90 | Tablet, Bronze Vest | |-----------------'----------------'---------'------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: ElectroJolt, ElectroBolt | | TO STEAL: --- | | SPECIALS: Hi-HoChorus (Yellow-innate attack on all allies) | | Hi-HoWarCry (Yellow-innate attack on one ally) | | PATTERNS: Hi-HoChorus to Attack/Hi-HoWarCry/ElectroJolt/ElectroBolt (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This can actually be quite hard for any green-innate characters. Razzly is good here because she's powerful against yellow types, but also because her fierce (lv3) attacks can hit up to six dwarves; even if she misses, she'll still probably hit a few. Hi-HoChorus is the battle opener and really digs into Razzly, probably doing about 70+. Much worse, it's used quite a lot in the battle...but it one dwarf of all three types to use. Serge's Steel Swallow can take two out if he uses Dash&Slash, so it's a non-issue. The demi-version of the attack, Hi-HoWarCry, is basically the same attack but is used by one dwarf to hit one target. With two RecoverAlls, though, this battle's a little easier. Just be sure to take out one type of dwarf as quickly as possible ("Dwarf" is easiest) or it'll cause lots of grief down the line. And, for god's sake, don't let the field go all yellow! ElectroBolt eventually gets used down the line, when Hi-HoChorus can't be (I think). Beware of that. 650G awarded for a win, plus a 9th level-up star. The chieftain retreats towards the hydra's spot, so save and get that chest below the water -- a [MEDICINE] -- by finding a hidden tunnel leading south towards it. Anyway, approach the Hydra when ready. NOTE: If Razzly is with, she CANNOT get her Lv. 7 technique on this playthrough. It's a shame...but Aaron of Hydros writes in to say that you can get NeoFio at this point if you desperately need a green character. See the section immediately following for intel. NOTE: If you haven't gotten Razzly yet, she becomes permanently missable after fighting the Hydra. _____________________________ | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Hydra | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 700 | Upheaval, @Copper | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: --- | | TO STEAL: --- | | SPECIALS: PutridOdor (Yellow-innate atk on all allies + Dizzy) | | WaveOfFear (Yellow-innate; decreases all allies' DEF) | | SpiritsUp (Yellow-innate; raises Hydra's own DEF) | | PATTERNS: Attack Χ?? to PutridOdor (Χ??) | | [2] WaveOfFear + Spirits Up -> Attack Χ?? to PutridOdor Χ?? (Χ??) | | PutridOdor (used turn after offensive green element, if possbl) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This battle's not that difficult, really, as long as you pack lots of heal elements and decent weapon upgrades. Green elements are the fast track to getting hit with PutridOdor, though; luckily, if you use one right after it's used the skill, it doesn't seem to 'counter' it at all. This is the perfect chance to get in AeroBlaster or Bushbasher attacks, as both Poison/Afraid statuses'll be passive helpers here. In the meantime, try to do the attack-and-defend tactic and pre-empt Hydra's physical attacks when possible (it's attacks can do 20+). If you rely on weapon strikes and non- -offensive elements, however, it's quite possible not to see a SINGLE PutridOdor until the last leg of the battle. That might just be my luck, but I had to prolong the fight just to get a couple. Try it because it'll conserve your elements, too. ^__~ If you didn't get an Upheaval element, you may want to retry and get it. 10th level-up star received! Hoo-hah! After some berating from the dwarf chieftain, claim the [HYDRA HUMOUR] as a reward from the boss' corpse. [NOTE: If for some reason Razzly is with, she will also notice the Hydra is with child.] On your way outta the marshes, an ally notices that there are no more dwarves roaming the forest... Anyway, that's it. Let's return to Guldove to check up on Kid's condition! ...You remember how to get there, right? Use the Astral Amulet at Opassa Beach and go back to Termina, where you'll take Korcha's boat back to the demi-human village. Yay. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― PATH A: Guldove [Another World] [D-15] _______________________________________________________________________________ ―| ITEMS / ELEMENTS ―――――――――――――――――――――――――| CHARACTERS TO INVITE ―――――――――|― | | | | • Guldovian Stitch Frame | • Kid | |___________________________________________| • Korcha | | • Mel | |_______________________________| Once in town, visit the clinic and show (w/ Square) the Hydra Humour to Doc.

Pick "You need those elements" and "No, let's go after Mel" to begin the chase. (NOTE: If you choose not to, it's still possible to get the elements back, don't worry - more on that in a sec). To catch this brat: • Talk to Orhla at the town bar • Talk to the shaman shrine guard • Spot Mel en route to residential tower • Catch Mel at the residential tower • KILL THE BRAT! ...Well, that'd be cool. >___> Mel is caught, Kid's elements are handed over ASAP. That's all! Nothing to see at town, really, since all the shops are the same. You've checked out the element shop that sells rare(r) elements, like Meteorite and such, ya? --- When you're ready to go, Korcha will leave the party and take everyone back to Termina. Watch the scenes with Glenn at the town entrance to learn Viper and his men have holed up in Fort Dragonia.

But, you may end up resetting this skirmish for quite awhile regardless. This is the only chance in the game to get 'Moonglasses,' an accessory that reduces all damage by 25%. Needless to say, it rocks incredibly hard. Bring Kid along and try to steal it, and then defeat Harle and see if you won it; if not, reset and try again. Shouldn't be too hard since Harle aims to make the field effect completely white. =/ I couldn't find a pattern she has; it just seems to be random white elements up her sleeve. She also has a special 'MoonBeams' which she only seems to use when the field effect's mostly black; and, it only affects one, not all like it should (dumbed-down like Gravitonne). [NOTE: You cannot steal the Moonglasses if you're on Path B...obviously.] Afterwards, the old man Harle was searching for (Radius) shows up. Talk to him underground and hear his warning about ghost ships... And, that's all! If you inspect the front yard, you'll find a 'hot patch' of ground. This is related to getting a character also, but there's nothing to do about it now. Speaking of the ghost ship, that's the next destination. Get in the boat and head toward that fog mass breaking over the east edge of El Nido's main isle. You'll get the option to delve into it or run away. Once entering, it'll be impossible to leave until the events are done, so make sure you: • have iron equipment on everyone • Got some great elements from monsters and Marbule [SH05] NOTE: Harle cannot be fought if you did S.S. Invincible events first! NOTE: If you're on Path B (not saving Kid), you also go to the Invincible at this time.

The captain (Fargo) Serge is a messenger for Lynx, but he's straightened out soon enough. To test the party's capabilities, Fargo sics three Man-O-Wars on the party; the second battle is against his pretty parrot princess......Polly! NOTE: On Path A, these two fights are 'normal' and can be skipped completely by fleeing; on Path B (not saving Kid), they're boss fights that can't be avoided (giving 9/10th stars) .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Polly | INNATE: Red | HP: 540 | MagmaBurst (100%) | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: --- | | TO STEAL: Sight Scope / Inferno | | SPECIALS: Flap (Red-innate dmg on one ally) | | PATTERNS: Flap Χ2 to Attack (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| Polly mostly relies on her 'Flap' technique to do the damage, quickly reddening the field effect. IceBlast and AquaBall're the ways to go here, with any other powerful attacks -- such as Earthquake, AeroBlaster, ElectroBolt -- backing them up. As long as the field effect's not blushing bright red, Flap's easier to stomach. And, Polly's DEF isn't a big factor when iron wpns are involved. Try to keep your HP high at the very end, because it'll carry over into the next battle. 145G for winning.

Kick out the jams with AeroBlaster/ElectroBolt/Earthquake, and try to stop him before he gets to Carnivore/IceBlast/ElectroBolt. His MGC isn't powerful enough to kill a character in one hit, but it's still a source of utter annoyance (Carnivore particularly). Dizzy and Afraid both work on Fargo (and probably more), if you were wondering. Don't let its strategy intimidate you...Fargo follows it to a 't', so you can prepare easier. 551G awarded for the win. Fargo knocks everyone out with jellyfish-stinger tranquilizers, and kicks 'em into the brig... Meanwhile, outside, an ACTUAL ghost ship pulls up alongside the Invincible. A Skeleton opens the door, and after fighting it, Serge and company can explore the ship in full. .-----. .-----------------.

As you go along, you'll have to rescue pirates getting jostled by skeletons to talk to 'em about the key. Luckily, Serge should be able to KO most of these black innates in a single turn...if you got iron weapons. >=p Crossbones are good sources of Iron, incidentally. The room right next door to the save point has an [AQUABALL] element, while the passage's far west end contains a [FIREPILLAR] element. You'll have to mangle a few wraiths to claim it, though. Head up the ladder to the next room when ready. Head towards the first room on the right to find the passage's blocked by fire. Enter the room to find a [PANACEA] chest guarded by wraiths. So where to go? The room has an air vent that leads to the room next door. Get the [CAPSULE] chest and saunter into the hallway again. Talk to the fatty pirate to learn who's on key duty before getting the key from that person. As soon as you get the key, go belowdecks and unlock that pesky door (note: no other locked doors can be opened). This leads towards the ship's exterior. [NOTE: Sometimes the man upstairs does not have the key, and you'll have to search the mateys downstairs (or whatever directions the keyperson gives).] There's a pirate out here who will let you test his vitamin drink. Avoid this since it poisons everyone more often than it heals HP. What'd that guy put in there, arsenic?

Death'sOdor can inflict 'cursed,' which runs down an ally's stamina as s/he's damaged; Darkness is, as you may've guessed, decreased physical accuracy. Serge's Steel Swallow can still carve Dead Beat like potroast, so as long as you're not completely (offensive) element-dependant, it won't be such a hard time. The boss's physical attacks aren't that damaging -- heck, no elements/skills really are with Diminish in effect -- so this's nearly a battle of attrition, seeing who can hold out the longest. One funny thing is that both of its special attacks can MISS, and often do. 425G awarded at the end, with an 11th level-up star! The sea returns to normal after vanquishing the Dead Head. Fargo suggests a pitstop at Water Dragon Isle before entering Mt. Pyre, so that the dragon can give his protection against the scorchin' flames. This is optional, but it'll make everything 23423432 times easier. Of course, if you already visited said island, you'd know there's a sheet of ice protecting the inner sanctum. So... it's off to the Home World for it! --- Marbule's got a new shop now. It sells trap elements! Meaning, if you use one of these 'elements' in battle, and an enemy uses the element you've set a trap for, you evade all damage and get that element for yourself! Magnify and Diminish are sold, too. If you feel the spender's urge, don't bother with any of the LVL 7±0 elements since you can't even place those yet. The LVL5±0 and LVL 6±0 are the only ones you need to get, albeit not immediately... _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― PATH B: Guldove [D-17] _______________________________________________________________________________ ―| ITEMS / ELEMENTS ―――――――――――――――――――――――――| CHARACTERS TO INVITE ―――――――――|― | | | | • Astral Amulet | • Kid | |___________________________________________| • Doc | |_______________________________| If you chose not to save Kid, return to Guldove at this time.

Approach the beardfaces to start the Hi-Ho Battle Redux Mini Jr. .------------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common, Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.---------+------------------------------| | Dwarf | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 150 | Upheaval, @Copper | | DaggyDwarf x 2 | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 140 | ElectroJolt, @Copper | | DaffyDwarf x 3 | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 130 | ElectroBolt, @Leather | |-----------------'----------------'---------'------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: ElectroJolt, ElectroBolt | | TO STEAL: Dwarf = @Iron, Capsule | | DaggyDwarf = Tablet, @Iron | | DaffyDwarf = @Iron, Capsule | | SPECIALS: Hi-HoChorus (Yellow-innate attack on all allies; need 5 Dwarfs) | | Hi-HoWarCry (Yellow-innate attack on one ally) | | PATTERNS: Hi-HoChorus to Attack/Hi-HoWarCry/ElectroJolt/ElectroBolt (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| The hi-ho dwarves are back, but this battle's basically the same as last time. In fact, it's about twice as easy with your upgraded equipment and the stats you've gained. For reference, my Razzly is taking less than 40 damage. Remember, killing two of the dwarves stops Hi-HoChorus! Razzly is good for mass destruction because her lv. 3 (fierce) attack can attack all dwarves at once. In reality, there's not much strategy to be had...these munchkins simply don't have the oomph to put up a decent fight against the protagonist's bunch. Stuff like Inferno/Earthquake is overkill, simply. :p 650G awarded for the win, plus a 12th level-up star for no apparent reason. After the battle, check out the highest leftmost exit to find a [MAGIC RING]. Descend deeper into the island by following the dwarves path towards the waterfall's end. There's a save point there (NOTE: If you save, you cannot leave until defeating the next boss) and under the waterfall there, a simple [SCALEY DRESS]. Don't worry about bolting straight for the boss; you can get any items you miss after obtaining a boat in the Home World. At the bottom of the cavern, let's shove some dwarfs to extinction... .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .------------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Dwarf x2 | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 150 | Upheaval, @Copper | | BOSS: Hi-Ho Tank | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 1000 | Knee Pad, @Iron | |------------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: HiRes | | TO STEAL: Hi-Ho Tank = @Screw, Knee Pad | | Dwarf = @Iron, Capsule | | SPECIALS: ElementShot (?????-innate dmg on one ally) | | PATTERNS: ElementShot/Attack/Attack Χ2/HiRes (Χ??) | |____________________________________________________________________________| Take out the dwarves first of all, or they'll end up healing the boss later. The tank has great physical defense, but not too great -- Serge's physical attacks can probably do around 70 per fierce hit. Because of this, it might play into your favor to use Diminish at the start of battle and make all of the tank's elements do worse damage while you concentrate on weapon attacks. Of course, powerful elements (AeroBlaster in particular) are decent here as well. Its ElementShot seems to pick its color from the current allies' OPPOSITE attributes; however, it doesn't always pick the ally it'd do the most damage to. When it does, though, immediately heal. Use HiRes to create some sort of shield for your team, while simulatenously slinging BatEye and LoRes at the tank. AeroBlaster/Bushbasher will lead you to victory! Anyone who isn't Poshul should be decent with those elements. You'll know the tank is weakened when its frame starts to tremor a bit and its front grill rocks back and forth while it waits. Just be persistant with those green elements and harness the power that is...RecoverAll. ^___^ 800G for defeating it, and a thirteen level-up star. Bring Razzly over to Rosetta and change your party lines for awhile. Enter the room beyond to find the Water Dragon, who gives the [ICE BREATH] and a [FROGPRINCE] summon as well. Later on, everyone's mad at the humans who've run the dwarves out of their homes. Razzly will receive a [WISP CAPE] from her big sis Rosetta if she's alive. ============================================================================ I've been asked to note that there is a scene about Kid's past that plays as the team tries to leave here. It occurs if the events here were done but Razzly wasn't invited and Kid's in the party (not necessarily fight team). It can be done on either Path A or B, and can always be seen on Path B since Razzly can't be invited. ============================================================================ Anyway, one can't go back to fairyville for now, and it'll be a long time to the point where one can. Talk to the fisherman waiting at the isle's entrance and catch a ride home to Arni. Time to infiltrate...Mt. Doom! Err...Pyre. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 12) Mt.

You can still get plenty of MagmaBursts from those Lava-boys, though, so... CatBurglars also have Poultice Caps that prevent burns, so you may want to get one of those; the status reduces defense power in battle. There's a [TABLET] chest near where that kittie-cat enemy stands, right before the ladder leading up...to Solt and Peppor! Ahaha. This is too much laughter to bear. .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Solt | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 500 | Iron Vest, Sky Djinn Ring | | BOSS: Peppor | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 483 | Iron Mail, Dragoon Gauntlet | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: BlackHole, BlackHole Trap | | TO STEAL: Solt = Nostrum / Kung Fu Shoes | | : Peppor = Pendragon Sigil B / Nostrum | | SPECIALS: --- | | PATTERNS: (Solt ) BlackHole Trap -> Attack Χ?? | | (Peppor) BlackHole -> Attack Χ?? | |___________________________________________________________________________| As usual, the pair mangles an attempt at killing the party by messing up in royal fashion again... Peppor will attack Solt a few times to shake common sense into him, so that wastes a few turns. Besides the normal routine, they attack a few times physically compared to their single blows before. Uh...I don't know why they only use elements when they're weakened, but that's how it goes. Besides that, they've got buffed physical/magical defenses, but are still the same crappy soldiers at heart. I haven't seen 'em use elements in normal play, so there's a reason this is a 1/10-difficulty battle. An easy 1045G earned. [NOTE: A 12th level-up star is only awarded if you skipped Water Dragon Isle's 'Ice Breath' quest completely.] Exit east afterwards and freeze the lava for safe walking. Slide down the flow pointing 'south' towards the foreground and get the [MAGMABOMB] chest as you do. This shoots one back into the first screen, so it's only a short hop to the second one. Exit north this time. In the left corner is a [INFERNO TRAP] element, but if you freeze the lava you won't be able to get it. After getting it, freeze the stuff and hit up the [TABLET] in the east corner. There's a [CAPSULE] chest above a ladder by there, too (don't get dizzy from the sulphur fumes). Take the main route up the ladder to the save point. Press on to the large bridge overlook point and play with a cute li'l helpless draggy. ^___^ .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .------------------.---------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: FireDragon | INNATE: Red | HP: 850 | Weaken, Magic Ring | |------------------'---------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: --- | | TO STEAL: Magic Ring / Wisp Cape | | SPECIALS: FieryBreath (red-innate dmg on one ally + Burns) | | PATTERNS: Attack to FieryBreath to Attack (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This little teapot's about to blow hot lava all over your party! Despite its size, it can really break out the damage...if the field effect gets red. Casting Diminish can help against its natural red-innate attacks, while Ointments/Poultice Caps will prevent burns. Burning, as you're aware, lowers attack damage, so avoiding that will be wise. Luckily, at this point in the game, RecoverAlls, Weakens, and most other useful attacks are a dime a dozen; burden a character with a bunch of RecoverAlls if you're having trouble. Use its two attacks in a row to keep the field effect away from red (also the time you'd want to use blue attacks in order to use the FrogPrince summon, if you're going that route). One odd thing is that you CANNOT run from battle to heal up...at all; he immediately challenges you again. 730G awarded for winning + a 14th level-up star. [NOTE: This will only give the 13th level-up star if you skipped the Ice Breath sidequest.] The dragon retreats, commending your power.

This is a perfect chance to break out any attack-all elements: Earthquake, Inferno, MeteorShower...it's a riot, literally. Been a long time since we've seen these guys and the old dogs have learned a few new tricks. Karsh's now got an 'Axial Axe' maneuver that hits all allies; Zoah's Gyronimo hits one ally; StringPhone attacks all allies, too. Even with these new attacks, they really shouldn't be more than pushovers, provided you've got decent equips and have been getting those extra inbetween-level bonuses. As for order of operations, I'd take out Karsh first since he's the weakest, and leave Zoah for last since his single-target moves make him a big chump. 2330G awarded upon victory, plus your fifteenth level-up star. [NOTE: This only gives the 14th level-up star if you refrained from the Ice Breath sidequest.] When Harle appears, tell her you'll keep going and exit onto the world map. Fort Dragonia's in sight... Congratulations: Serge, Razzly, Kid, Guile, Korcha /Macha, Poshul, Leena, NeoFio, Skelly, Pierre, and Pip all should have their second (Lv. 5) tech coming into this fight. Onward, brave soldiers. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 13) Fort Dragonia [Another World] "Ancient dragons' dream in ruins..."

These will not be available for awhile following this dungeon, so make sure you have some extras to use on future bosses (and they will come in handy!). NOTE: You'll fight a 'Dragoon' at the entrance if you missed Water Dragon Isle's events and did not get the FrogPrince summon. This enemy will drop said summon and give the 15th level-up star. (He won't appear on New Game Plus, though... o_O) This gigantor 'impenetrable' fortress may look like a cakewalk since one can walk into it without opposition...but there's still a lot of things to clean up 'round here. For one, there are numerous bosses in different rooms, and they represent most of the elements. You may want to change your lineup to deal with them better, but for me, I'm sticking with my main three: Serge, Kid, Razzly. The main object for this first stretch is to deactivate colored pillars that look like obelisks of sort. You'll know 'em when they're found. ############################################################################ # FORT DRAGONIA - RED ROOM! # ############################################################################ ________________________________ | | All paths on this first floor lead to a | Blue Green | boss, except the Red one and the Yellow. | \_ _/ | Red'll be the first destination we go | | |_| | | to.

Head towards the Yellow Room, now. ############################################################################ # FORT DRAGONIA - YELLOW ROOM! # ############################################################################ I won't draw a map for this one, since the room itself changes. Overview: it is a maze with moving parts! How it moves depends on the party formation, as it goes. Make your way through the maze to the western entrance and inspect the pedestal. "We Dragonians are comprised of a head, body, and tail. Thou must change the order of the head, body, and tail to unveil a new path," it says. "B" stands for Body; "T" stands for Tail; "H" stands for head. After the speech, your party order is registered as T-H-B. So, if you have Razzly/Serge/Kid, Razzly's the 'Tail,' and so on. To proceed we'll have to change the order to H-B-T, which makes up how the Dragonians were. Outside the door, there's a glowing blue pad that can change the formation slightly. Use the Select button to switch party leaders and experiment with the pad (you should only have to use it once to get the end HBT formation) until you have the correct lineup. Using the above example, I've changed from Razzly/Serge/Kid -to- Serge/Kid/Razzly. Inspect the pedestal once again to change the maze room. [REMEMBER - The combination for solving this puzzle may be different than the example presented!] --- After the correct combination is done, enter the maze and use the switched- -around walkways to get the blue switch. This will lower some stairs by the maze's entrance across the room. A B-T-H formation get the [EARTH CHARM] in a chest, while a T-H-B order can get the [ELECTROBOLT] chest via the stairs that were opened. Use the T-B-H order to make some headway into leaving this place. After confirming it, use the stairs near the maze entrance to reach a control panel that lowers that yellow obelisk. Switch it off, mission is accomplished! Save at the main room and dive in, yo. ############################################################################ # FORT DRAGONIA - GREEN ROOM! # ############################################################################ ____|―|-PILLAR/BOSS | ____| ______________ | | _____________ | __________ | | | | _________ | _| |_ | | [LEGEND] | | | |_ _____ | | | _ | | | | | | |6| _ |_| | | | | | | | 5 - Bushbasher | | | | | >| |> | | | | | ____ | | 6 - HealAll | | | | '---| |- | | | | | | _ |_| | 7 - Antidote | | | | <| |< | | | | | | >| |> | 8 - AeroBlaster | | | | |―――| |――― |8| | | ――| |―| | 9 - Tornado Trap | | | |5| _| |_____|_|_| |____| | | | | | | |_| |>| |> >| |> | | | | |_| 7|_| | |―――――――――| |―――――― | | |___ ―――| | | | | ______| | |_ |___ | ___| | | __ | | Once mapped out, this place | | | | | ___| | |9 | | isn't so frightening.

It's Enter Cybot territory, ma'am! As you enter, continue straight along the path to the next stairwell'd area. Bend under the bridge you used to enter and get the [HEALALL] + [BUSHBASHER] elements that are next to each other. You can continue arcing around the left to get an [ANTIDOTE] in the next screen if you want, but it's out-of-the-way a bit. Back where y'started, make your way east into the next screen. In the south cul-de-sac area is a [TORNADO TRAP], while the real exit comes in a bit. Take the northern walkway until it splits into a new screen with two exits. The lower one leads to a [AEROBLASTER] element; the higher-up will lead to the pillar and the very first part of the maze. As you go, make sure to trigger the blue switch to lower a stair and create a handy shortcut. Save with your loot and continue along until the emerald color of a pillar (and boss) shimmers in yo' face. .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Taurusoid | INNATE: Green | HP: 1600 | @Carapace, Iron Vest | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: HealAll | | TO STEAL: Tornado Trap / Sonja Trap | | SPECIALS: BackDrop (green-innate damage to one ally) | | BodyPress (green-innate damage to one ally) | | Chokeslam (green-innate damage to one ally) | | PATTERNS: BodyPress -> BackDrop -> ChokeSlam -> [TO RANDOM STRATEGY] | | HealAll (self; offensive yellow element counter) | | [2] (Attack) -> [Tech] -> [Tech] -> Attack Χ2 -> [Tech] -> Attack ->| | [Tech] -> [Tech+Tech] (Χ??) | | [3] [Tech+Tech] -> [Tech+Tech] -> Attack to [Tech+Tech] to [Tech] | | to Attack Χ1-8 to [Tech+Tech] (Χ??) | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | NOTE: Patterns shown are only excerpts (vague) to show harshness one may | | face. They'll probably vary a bit in name, but this isn't far off. | |___________________________________________________________________________| He'll use HealAll on himself if damaged by yellow elements, so stick with the normal routine and those new techs you'll have. The main thing about this battle is that all his techs (and he does use them a lot) are single- -target and he's rather slow; it's not too hard to cleanse the field of any green traces. With decent equipment and no boosts -- you'll want to cast a Weaken on him if you have it -- all his attacks do around ~70. However, once the first three turns are done, he seems to randomly pick an attack avenue to go down; one is lenient and the other is very hectic w/ tech + tech runs very often. Hope for the '[2]' since it's easier to deal with the consecutive attacks. Make sure that field effect isn't fully green, either; this seems to beckon those tech+tech instances. 1200G awarded, as well as the sixteenth level-up star! (PS - Tornado is never cast. Don't believe the guides' hype!) Deactivate the green obelisk and let's move on to the last corridor...BLUE! ############################################################################ # FORT DRAGONIA - BLUE ROOM! # ############################################################################ This is fairly straightforward, with only three rooms to go into. There are three 'deposits' of treasure chests, but instead of having them give items, they control how movable paths work. The lit-up door near the entrance is the real destination, but the leftmost room leads to a [SEA CHARM]; the third room (eastmost) leads to a Dragoon enemy, which you may want to skip. [NOTE: On a NG+, the Dragoon and Sea Charm rooms are switched.] To make the path get to the destination entrance, use the 2nd cluster of chests to make the walkway turn SE; then, use the 3rd cluster to get a NW- -shooting path. Hit the button at the doorstep to create a shortcut to the main road. Return and save before approaching the blue obelisk, which is of course guarded by a fun plaything... .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .------------------.---------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: GiantGloop | INNATE: Blue | HP: 840 | AquaBall, IceBlast | |------------------'---------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: BlueField, IceLance, Iceberg, IceBlast | | TO STEAL: Antiviral Cap | | SPECIALS: TakeIn (blue-innate damage to one ally + Flu) | | GooeyGoo (targets all allies; lowers EVD% if it hits) | | PATTERNS: GooeyGoo to TakeIn to Attack to BlueField to IceLance to | | IceBlast to Attack (Χ??) | | Iceberg (when weakend, counters offnsive red elmnt if HP<12.5%) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This thing will use the trappable Iceberg attack when weakened, so you'll probably want to steal it. The thing is, only someone with a Lv. 6 slot can get it. You'll have to use someone like Luccia, Greco, Mojo...they've all got said slot at 16 Stars. The reason I recommend this is because it's (1) an awesome attack (2) said characters can be obtained on any path (3) it's possible to trap the element, flee, and still retain it. Just a head's up since if you're a big fan of, say, Leena, you'll want this great element. It's very damaging if it hits you, especially after BlueField; make sure to trap it each time you want to use a red element in its weakened state! This shouldn't be too hard of a battle if you've got any great red elements such as MagmaBurst, RedPin, FirePillar, Inferno... For those with 20 MGC, it'll be easy to do over 200+ with MagmaBurst, fr'instance, and even more should the person be red-innate. This battle should be a cinch to win, but you'll have to play it safe in the last stage if you're not trapping the element. 800G and the 17th level-up star awarded for a win here. [Some people have reported the boss using CureAll on the allies, but this doesn't fit in w/ any attack pattern...seemingly.] Deactivate the blue obelisk here and return to the main 4-way branch room to find the floor's created a large elevator to the higher parts. Save 'fore you enter it, of course, 'cause things are never as easy as touch and go w/ this game... Make sure to equip that Iceberg to your characters if you're using a blue innate, because it can go as far as -2 (Lv4) in the grid! Don't come into battle without a HolyLight trap! .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: SunOfAGun | INNATE: White | HP: 365 | @Iron | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: AntiBlack, HolyLight, WeakMinded, StrongMinded, MeteorShower, | | PhotonBeam | | TO STEAL: @Screw | | SPECIALS: Kissy-Wissy (white-innate dmg on an ally + Asleep) | | ModeChange (white-innate; randomly changes faces, atk patterns) | | PATTERNS: The boss strategy changes depending on its facial expressions. | |-------------------.-------------------------------------------------------| | [1] (Happy) | Attack -> Kissy-Wissy + ModeChange | | [2] (Blank) | AntiBlack -> HolyLight + ModeChange | | [3] (Frown) | WeakMinded -> StrongMinded + ModeChange | | [4] (Angry) | Attack -> PhotonBeam + MeteorShower + ModeChange | '-------------------'-------------------------------------------------------' The boss may have un-phenomenal HP, but it's defense is more than up to the task of buffeting your attacks. Someone with 20+ MGC can still do ~20 dmg with a Lv. 5 element! That doesn't mean it's attacks are particularly hard, but it's still rather annoying. It uses 'ModeChange' to change its attack patterns; its blank mode has the trappable HolyLight attack which is great for damaging black-innates and automatically killing undead enemies. Should you get the 'angry' face (frown + teeth bared), heal up because it'll use three attacks in a row on its second turn! Imbecile helps in this case, as its damage increases as the field effect whitens. Try to trap multiple HolyLights since anyone can use 'em. Remember that you can trap it, flee the battle, and return to get more! This will be very useful against the upcoming black-type boss... Anyway, black attacks or powerful physical damage (Serge can do 35+ probably) are the way to go here; if you're big on Guile, WandaSwords is a boss massacrefest. 840G awarded for winning, as well as the 18th level-up star. Save and deactivate the white pillar before getting on the elevator. Take it down to see some broken incubators; take it up to get to the real destination we're looking for. If you haven't gotten any Inferno/Volcano traps in Marbule yet, go get some before heading up. You'll be quick to notice that this second floor of Ft. Dragonia's the same one that was played in the game's dream sequence. Get the [CAPSULE] by the central teleport and make your way down the stairs into the next screen. Do away with the dragoon patrolling the area and curve back into the previous screen, taking the next stairway, too. There is a [METEORSHOWER] element and an [ANGEL CHARM] past the small doorway nearby. We all know where we need to go, though -- the black obelisk! Take the [DAEMON CHARM] guarded by a single Acacia SGT before entering. There's a fun, fun boss beyond... .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Bunyip | INNATE: Red | HP: 400 | --------------------------- | | | INNATE: Black | HP: 1000 | Gravitonne, HellBound | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: MagmaBomb, Inferno, FirePillar, Volcano, FreeFall, Gravitonne, | | GravityBlow | | TO STEAL: FreeFall / BlackHole Trap | | SPECIALS: DevilThunda (black-innate dmg to all allies) | | PATTERNS: MagmaBomb -> Inferno -> Attack Χ2 -> FirePillar -> Volcano -> | | Attack Χ2 -> MagmaBomb -> Inferno -> [Changes to 2nd pattern] | | [2] Attack to Gravitonne to FreeFall to DevilThunda to Attack to | | GravityBlow to DevilThunda (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This is one of the best fights in the game, not only because it's a two- -parter, but because it's an easy source of Inferno and Volcano elements. They're only used in the first part of the fight, however, so you'll have to get 'em and flee for more. Bunyip's first pattern ends with him changing to his second form, which is a black-innate and uses the trappable FreeFall element. That's the reason I suggest trapping his red elements; not only does it help evade a bunch of damage, but you save useful elements for the real fight. MeteorShower, HolyLight, and Luminaire will quickly carve down its HP, so all that really has to be done is healing every 2-3 turns with HealAll [etc.] after DevilThunda is used. Trap a few FreeFalls if you can, because they'll be very useful down the line after some...twists and turns. As long as you keep the field away from an all-black lineup, this battle'll be more than managable. 1300G awarded for winning, plus the 19th level-up star. I hope you got a bunch of trappable elements, because you won't ever regret it. <3 The teleporter in the main room now works, following the unfurl'd path as the dream sequence did. Go back and save, get those level-up bonuses on all your fave characters -- you won't be able to use 'em for awhile after some upcoming events. ############################################################################ NOTE: In quite awhile there will be a boss that has lots of elements that're able to be trapped. Traps won't be able to be purchased, though, so if you want any Inferno, Deluge, ThundaStorm, HolyLight, FreeFall, or Carnivore traps, buy them now to prepare! You won't regret it. Really! ############################################################################ Use the teleporter when ready to reach the boss...well, one of them. It's just inside that door... .------------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .------------------.----------------.---------+------------------------------| | BOSS: Gen.

Use this time to test out all those fancy elements that got trapped...Volcano, Inferno, Freefall. All will work nicely, because his attack pattern allows much breathing room for healing. You won't even need to use BatEye/Weaken probably. No currency awarded for winning, but a 20th level-up star'll suffice. Immediately afterwards, it's time to engage battle with our long-awaited rival! .----------------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common -> Rare) | .------------.----------------.----------+----------------------------------| | BOSS: Lynx | INNATE: Black | HP: 1000 | Pendragon Sigil B/Sky Djinn Ring | |------------'----------------'----------'----------------------------------| | ELEMENTS: (Various, since they depend on Serge's grid) | | TO STEAL: Pendragon Sigil B / Sky Djinn Ring | | SPECIALS: GlideHook (black-innate damage to one ally) | | PATTERNS: GlideHook -> Attack -> [Serge's Element] -> Attack Χ2 (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This strategy's kinda weird, since Lynx can use one of Serge's elements against him. Whatever he picks is then unusable on our protagonist's grid, making this sorta of annoying (he won't pick anything too useful, though). His only black-type attack is Glidehook, and'll often inflict 100+ damage, and even more if that's Serge. Bombard him with your trapped element lineup while casting HiRes/BatEye because his fierce attacks can easily KO Serge (there are times when he attacks three/four times in one go!). Thus, keep his HP above 150 at all times and over 100 for everyone else. Without any of his annoying counterattacks like he had in the previous battle, it ain't the same. Winning nets the player 666G (!) and the twenty-first level-up star. Things won't be the same after this battle... After some shocking events, there's another battle. Since it's impossible to win in normal gameplay and is full of spoilers, I won't bother covering it in-depth (although if you do happen to win on a NG+ or something, the outcome will be the same). This ends the Fort Dragonia chapter, and boy was it a doozy.

To lure the person out, run to the overhanging tree branch and search it with the x-button; this will drop a fig onto the ground. The thing inside the treehouse will scamper to claim it, and Lynx should infiltrate the place before it runs back. Yay, it's someone with a Cockney accent... SPRIGGUMZ! Funny how she knows words like "superlative'. O____O Resting'll take place automatically.

It's attack pattern changes depending on if it's in critical condition or not, and that's where the UltraNova is cast. Lynx can really rip into this guy with a Silver Swallow, doing about 140 per fierce attack; Harle'll be close behind if you've been upgrading her stuff, too. Because any black innate character will be at a large disadvantage, consider using Diminish at once (buy in Guldove) and relying mainly on physical attacks + Imbecile to get by. Remember that Diminish only reduces damage, not the potency of any curative elements. Be sure to set any traps before Raydiation, since it can inflict AntiWhite! Seriously, with Diminish, this fight is twenty times easier. 1000G awarded for winning. Afterwards, Starky -- who's really pint-sized -- will steal the fragment and lead you on a chase around the area.

See the janitor here. • Watch the janitor gain entrance to the locked door in the hallway • That Pirate comments that the janitor's the Sage of Marbule, and that one needs permission from Fargo to enter behind there (where Grand Slam is). • Talk to Fargo in room marked...'FARGO.' He says he'll let them into the Grand Slam if they can beat him at the roulette game downstairs. If they lose, Lynx forfeits his boat. • Enter the casino, play the game. Fargo will always beat Lynx (eventually). • Enter the inn and see the innkeeper come down from the room above... • Go to the entertainment room marked 'SNEFF' and see his show. • Re-enter, watch the show; everyone's turned into cats. Flee the room. • OPTIONAL: Head upstairs to the kitchen and get the [FRYPAN AG47] weapon. • OPTIONAL: Talk to the kitchen cat to get the [MONSTER MOUTH FRAME]. • Infiltrate the inn's upstairs region as a cat and get the machine [HANDLE]. • Once you've got the handle, talk to Sneff in the stage's sideroom to be returned to normal (enter through a cat-hole in the wall). • Challenge Fargo to a roulette game again; this time he'll go bust (LOL) Beating Fargo gives access to the Grand Slam downstairs and also repossession of the Porre boat. Save the game at the inn and head past the once-guarded door. The janitor, a.k.a. the former Sage of Marbule, will be moppin' floors in this area and exits onto the balcony when seen. Keep following him, in and out of the ways he goes for awhile until Lynx catches up with him. Inquire about the Dead Sea's whereabouts and say that you'll use brute force to get the information if necessary.

You can't buy them anymore in HW Marbule ! This battle can be hard or easy(er), depending on your attack routine. For the easier path, I suggest going a strict physical route since this will avoid ALL elements. The harder route is /maybe/ the quicker route, but also the most dangerous. Using elements on the Sage cues up a different attack pattern that usually involves a bumrush of xtreme proportions. 'Course, if you play it safe, you can't trap his awesome elements. Because there is no sense of unknown here, feel free to bait him into using those trappables... provided you can handle it. Either way, Diminish'll help. Carnivore, Deluge, and ThundaStorm are all great ones that've been missed so far -- try for a few. With Lynx' Silver Swallow, he can take off 200+ a round; Diminish makes this a pitiful fight. (PS - Using a trap element counts as 'offensive,' so if you want to trap Deluge, say, just use the trap to cue the atk pattern.) Remember that you can trap as many elements as you want, flee, and still be able to keep 'em! 634G received for winning + the 23rd level-up star! The Sage relents and gives Lynx the [FIDDLER CRAB] key item as a reward for his persistance. There is an area near the Dead Sea where the tides differ, says the Sage; that's where to use the item. Nikki shows up and wants to talk inside his ship. This leads to an sidequest about saving Marbule from all of the dream monsters. Let's call it...THE SAVE MARBULE QUEST!!! >____> You can also enter Grand Slam (via the ladder by the wall) where one can pit monsters against one another. This is how to get the character Janice, and while you can win with the default monsters, it's a lot easier to collect a bunch of powerful ones and blaze through. One needs a Forget-Me-Not Pot to retain (some) defeated monsters for the Grand Slam, so now that I've mentioned it, let's move on. _____________________ ________________ | INVITATION: Janice | INNATE: Red | | INVITATION: Sneff | INNATE: Yellow | |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | As said, the bunnygirl joins up after being trounced thrice.

On the cruise ship's topdeck, take the mast's lift to the Magical Dreamers boat, entering inside the lower door.

It will make the poisonous reef recede and open the way to a new area...Death's Door. Luckily, this place is pretty short -- there's another impedement to sort through. Radius notes that the infamous sword of evil, the Masamune, is stationed right nearby. Only the holy sword Einlanzer can defeat its aural assault. To do that, we'll have to visit the grave of Garai... --- Radius wants to be taken to his house, so head to Hermit's Hideaway. He'll go in for a short moment and return with a [GARAI KEEPSAKE], a key item needed to navigate the destination. And what may that be? The Isle of the Damned, of course...

This item allows passage through those mirror-like doorways. There are a few mirrors around, but the real way to go is under the huge spinal column, which brings Lynx' party to the left part of the mirror room (denoted on map). Use the mirror to proceed into the next room. Down by the bubblin' mire, there is a covered cave and a suit of armor. Lure the WillO'Wisp down to the ladder (have fun with that -__-) and blow up the covered cave to find an [INFERNO] element. When it regenerates, lure it down to that suit of armor to fight a WightKnight enemy. Once defeated, it leaves a [GOLDEN TIARA] accessory. [NOTE: There is only one WightKnight to find in normal gameplay, so you may want to wait until you have a Forget-Me-Not Pot or just 'store' it in Sprigg's Doppleganger ability for the Grand Slam.] WightKnight can drop a @Rainbow Shell as well, so you may want to restart the battle a few times to see if you can get it. Either way, when ready, take up arms and enter the evil, red-looking door nearby... Read the headstone (LOL!) and watch some scenes from Radius' past. Then it's go time, chumps! .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Garai | INNATE: White | HP: 1987 | Dragoon's Honor (100%) | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: --- | | TO STEAL: --- | | SPECIALS: TripleCut (white-innate damage on one ally + Fatigued) | | WillBreaker (white-innate damage on one ally) | | PATTERNS: Attack to TripleCut to Attack Χ2 to WillBreaker (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| Quite frankly, Garai can cut off your head and then stuff it in your throat in a very humiliating manner...he's good. But, there are two things that'll make this battle way, way easier. The first is Diminish -- we've been using it a bit -- and pulls the rug out from under his powerful techs in a way. The second way is using MagNegate. This of course plays into his favor of making the field effect white, but when you can get off scot-free from one of his WillBreakers, especially if you're a black-innate, that's certainly something to be proud of. Starky's the only character who can use MagNegate at this time, so if you pack him full of 'em, that can be his main function for now. A combination of both strategies will heavily raise the chance of success, guaranteed. As for the actual battling portion, Lynx can slice up Garai with a Silver Swallow, even better if LoRes/Weaken/BatEye is used -- none of these are affected by Diminish . Despite the useful strategies, Garai's techs can still be poison for any black-innates, so coming into the battle with a load of CurePlus/HealAlls will be a telltale sign of a wise person. Lynx is only really needed for attacking, so the third person can be the main healer (if the second is the MagNegate-r). But anyway, you already have the tools to get by now -- put them to good use. Nothing acts as a substitute for upgraded equipment and decent elements, all of which you should have in spades (Airframes drop Mythril, if you haven't been in the mood to get some). Play it safe with Diminish and this battle will be in the history books soon enough. 1358G awarded for winning, earning also that 24th level-up star. After Garai's spirit is laid to rest, the [EINLANZER] is finally obtained. --- Return to Death's Door and Radius will wield the Einlanzer, destroying the Masamune (or does it?). The way to the Dead Sea now lies open. After picking up your jaw at what this place looks like, get the [ANTIRED] element chest sitting on the world map. Then, it's to the Highway Ruins. NOTE: You can return to the world map, but the more you proceed, the more places you'll have to backtrack through. Prepare as well as you can (Capsules and other consumables, for instance) before making a commitment. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 23) Highway Ruins [Home World] "A place forsaken by the gods..."

By where you came in, there is a large tower against the highway and a ladder; it leads up to a large outlook point with a [@SCREW] inside.

Go up the dual stairway to the second 'rim' of the mall, getting the [@FEATHER] chest by working counterclockwise. This same second floor has an exit on the east; take it to a subway station. By the disused rail system, there is a 'friendly' Geos. Talk to it and it will move towards a stuffed-up stairway. When it disappears, pick up the [STATION PASS] that's been left behind. There's a [PURIFY] by the rail system, and north of there, past a gate (opened by the pass), a [HOLYLIGHT]. Past there, a [MEDICAL BOOK] key item can be found. This is used to teach Doc his Lv. 7 Tech; if you don't have him, finding it's not important. Return to the mall area. Up on the third floor, a [@MYTHRIL] component can be found in a clockwise motion before going to the other side. By the next exit, check the elevator and lower it to the 1F. Return back to the ground floor and get the treasure inside, being a [TRASHY TIARA]. Exit to the west on the 3F, this time. Lynx will sense something sitting nearby, but it will leave. This is an area filled with 'Tragediennes'. They're like beauty pageant contestants and have a 'special ambition' which is a certain attack. A player can trap Volcano, Tornado, and BlackHole from 'em (BlackHole's helpful since the upcoming boss is a white-innate). They usually go first, though, so don't come into battle with crappy HP values. After getting/skipping the [@FEATHER] in the SW corner, head north to the theater stage and get the [PROP SWORD] key item. It teaches Pierre his final tech, so if you didn't get him, skipping it is alright. There's also a [HEALALL] and [CUREPLUS] nearby, too. Exit west when done. In the next room, full of mangled metal machinery, Lynx again thinks he sees a child running around. From the large, broken fan-thing, head to the left and get up on the catwalk. Loop around to an [SEALALL] chest and double-back a bit to another ladder, leading to a [@MYTHRIL] in a blindspot. Climb up the large sheet of metal to exit into the blue light... Witness what's happened to the HW Acacia Dragoons before getting a [DIMINISH] near the left side of the broken pavement. Approach the scary-lookin' portal and go inside. Save! ############################################################################# NOTE: After defeating the upcoming boss, you will not be have another chance to get all the items in the Dead Sea, being this tower and the highway/ city ruins, AND the world map items. Go back and get 'em while you can! ############################################################################# There is an Energizer nearby which will restore HP and status abnormalities, but as a Chrono Trigger in-joke, "you're still hungry." Continue towards the circular plaza and find a [SCREWY DRESS] by cutting through the middle. Watch the scenes that play by going the other way and raid the fifteenth chest, a [HELLBOUND] element. Signify anything, much? Regardless, head north and read the inscription on the fallen bell. This'll set the dialogue in motion, with a climactic finish... Equip Daemon Charms if you have any (and you should have up to two.) .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Miguel | INNATE: White | HP: 1950 | Dreamer's Scarf (100%) | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: AntiBlack, StrongMinded, WeakMinded, TurnBlack, PhotonBeam, | | MeteorShower, HolyLight | | TO STEAL: --- | | SPECIALS: HolyDragSwd (white-innate damage to one ally) | | PATTERNS: AntiBlack to StrongMinded to WeakMinded + HolyDragSwd to Attack | | to TurnBlack + PhotonBeam (Χ??) | | [2] MeteorShower -> HolyLight -> [Restarts above strategy] | |___________________________________________________________________________| Don't let his tourguide-meets-fisherman appearance fool you; Miguel may be the hardest boss yet fought. His defense isn't immense, so the Diminish strategy does work. BlackHole can do almost 500, so the more of those y'pack in, the better. The much-dreaded HolyDragSwd lives up to its reputation, and can often OHKO the target if Miguel's left to his own devices. Diminish can make it do ~125-175 depending on weaknesses. Physical attacks are definitely the way to go once Diminish has been used, and are quite effective paired w/ LoRes/Strengthen. Just keep everyone's HP up with HealAll because when he's put in critical condition, he does a vicious combo of MeteorShower/HolyLight that will probably inflict 'fatigued' on your characters. Try to trap the latter if you can; if you can't, just know that he only uses it once in the entire battle. 1540G awarded for the win, and the 26th level-up star, too. Miguel did say that the dimensional distortion would restore itself if he was defeated. After some sweet FMVs, everyone ends back up at Marbule. The dragon says that the destination should be the Sea of Eden, and there's only one way to get there, y'know...DIMENSIONAL ROAD TRIPPIN'...well, after getting relics from the dragon gods. There are six dragons, and six relics need to be gotten. --- For now, hit up Opassa Beach. The wormhole's back, so we can time-hop to the Another World once again.

With him in the party, go up the ladder to where the exorcisms had to be performed, in the dragon boneyard. After some scenes with his mother, he'll receive the 'BigBreath' tech. It attacks all enemies with the spirit of his mommy! ...Of course, if you don't even have the Big Egg Draggy hatches from, you can get it here as well (I think).

They tell their sad tale of how they found General Viper, and how Lady Riddel's been captured. The player can pick one of them to join the party since the next league of the game will involve infiltrating Viper Manor...again. Either is fine, but if you might as well pick Zoah because his Lv. 7 Tech is there. The Dragon Tear's shards are also given over as the [TEAR OF HATE]. --- You can still roam around town, seeing a few other party members that have 'forgotten' Serge in only a short while. There are some scenes to view at the element shop, and another at the smithy. A scene can play if you bring Zappa to meet himself (w/ a @Rainbow Shell in the inventory), but it turns out that no rainbow equipment can be made yet because the hammer's too weak! Once the Save Marbule Quest is over, we'll be able to make some... See [SH03] for an updated list of the wares. After the bar events, head to the entrance to find Norris. An urgent security message arrives to say that Grobyc has arrived at the manor, whoever that guy is. Norris still wants Lynx to come meet him at the manor later.

Go to the parlor (ground floor, left side) to find Norris, who's eager to help rescue Viper's daughter. The [PRISON KEY] is received, since she's being held in the basement. Using the sewage system beneath the prison's the best course of action, Norris thinks. If you have Zoah, make sure to stop by his room (ground floor, right side) and open that chest with him in the lead -- it contains his Lv. 7 Toss&Spike tech. To get into the sewers, open one of the grates in the hallway outside the barracks, in the kitchen, or in the jail stairway. However, at this time, you can't really do anything from those positions; just let the rapids here (denoted with 'W's for water) lead into the cistern area. _ Kitchen _________|3| (1-way) | __________| _|_ _ || Third | |_| |_|| _______ Valve |___ __| ___________ | ____ |/ EXIT |W| | _______ |____ _|| |-| / Barrcks |W|_ | | |VALVE| |<- _|->-|__| _| | |_____||_ Hallway |W | | | |―――――| |―||_ |WWWWW| |WWWWWWWW|4| | |W | | | |WW->W| | || |->-|WWWWW| |WWWWWWWW| | _|_ |W | | | | |―――| ― ―|->-|― |――| ―――― ――― | | | |W _| | | | ―――――― |― ―― ―――――――――――― | |___|W|___| | ―――――――――― |___ |W _____| | W|______ [LEGEND] | W|VALVE |---.

There's also a [@HUMOUR] chest nearby, no longer guarded by a soldier. The player will now be able to head to the sluiceway control; tighten the valve to make the flow go far slower. It will still carry one to the cistern, though, but now it's possible to get to any of the side areas. Return to the cistern area and go towards where the 'Viper Manor Well Area' on the map. You should scare a gerridae on a chest, and it'll fall into the water (It's a Delute element). Remember to get it later on. For now, collect the [@DENADORITE] chest and climb the ladder, returning to the manor's jail area. With the sluicegate shut some, it's now possible to navigate the water in a small way. Enter the kitchen's floor grate to get the furthest upstream. Get in the water and walk right into the first sheltered area. Go up the passage to find a [MAGIC SEAL]. If you're wondering what that little blob is, when Luccia inspects it, she'll get her Lv. 7 tech. More on that later on. For now, head back into the water and get into the small passage just south of the Magic Seal passageway. Use this to get to the second sluicegate valve which will open the way to enter the larger waterway on foot. Don't go in yet, though -- it won't do anything. Head to the third valve in the right screen. You'll notice it can be accessed from two sides... Open it to switch the sluicegate and stop the heavy flow of water. Remember that gate we opened with the 2nd valve? The one that opened a small gate so Lynx could enter the water? Enter that now and wade downstream to a small stairway near the 3rd valve. Follow the walkway to the dead end where a [NIMBLE] is. That's the last treasure down in the soggy sewer. Use the tiny stairway near the Nimble chest to enter the channel near the exit ladder. Go to the 3rd valve, open it, and try to exit.

Use Weaken/BatEye to help prevent some of his increasingly vicious physical attacks and go to town with Lynx and his swallow. That'll deflate that enormous HP amount pretty dang fast. I've heard people say that he uses Volcano, but I haven't been able to see it used, even when in critical condition, all-red field effect, etc. Pull out a win and get 1490G as well as the 28th level-up star. ____________________ ________________ | INVITATION: Orcha | INNATE: Red | |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | Orcha joins up automatically to make amends for his wrongdoings.

His attacks won't bother Lynx or Harle, but they're still bothersome. Diminish the field and BatEye/Weaken him to keep his damaging physical assault in a more timid degree. He'll use HealAll to recover ~200 HP, which shouldn't make much of a difference. White attacks are very effective; even at -1 on the grid, HolyLight can inflict almost 300, and that's a telltale sign of how poor his M.DEF is. The only element you've never seen here is 'Vigora,' which helps reduce his stamina consumption...meaning he can attack far more in one turn than he has (up to 7 times). Get a HealAll ready because he'll most certainly do a lot over 120+ dmg. This effect usually wears off before he uses Strengthen, luckily. 1250G awarded for victory, and the 29th level-up star. Immediately afterwards, there is another boss! .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Guillot | INNATE: Yellow | HP: 1001 | @Mythril, @Screw | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: --- | | TO STEAL: --- | | SPECIALS: HotEdge (yellow-innate damage on one ally) | | PATTERNS: Attack Χ3-5 -> Hot Edge -> (HotEdge) (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| It's got laughable defense, weakling attacks, and horrible HP. Only HotEdge is anything to pay attention to, which does less than 100 to neutral-innate characters under the influence of Diminish. There doesn't seem to be much of a pattern Guillot uses besides a random amount of attacks interspersed with a Hot Edge now and then. Sometimes he uses it two times in a row, so beware if you don't like Diminish. Bombard it with physical attacks while Weaken-ing it, or use your best green elements (Tornado, AeroBlaster, etc.) while someone has HealAll on standby. 0G received, mostly because this dork ain't a boss...of course it leaves no level-up star, either. After some enjoyable events, everyone escapes into the library tower. Guillot has to be fought once again but it follows the same pattern as above. Defeat it and climb up the ladder the prophet tells you about. Once in the dragon stables, pick either option to see some crazy stampeding over those poor, Porre soldiers. ____________________ ________________ | INVITATION: Grobyc | INNATE: Black | |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | Grobyc is designed to follow the orders of those stronger than him, so he | | naturally wants to be Lynx' acolyte.

Enter the basement level and go into the storage room, being the one nearest the righthand staircase. This is where there are traps and such. Luckily, you can bypass most of 'em. First off, remember how there was a soldier in here at all times, standing by the pillar in the corner? He's gone now. Inspect that pillar to find a secret button, which deactivates 'something.' Push the snake statue into place by the door and enter the secret passage. There are two chests here, and with the button pressed, the acidic spray won't prevent access to 'em. The first is a [VIPER'S VENOM] special sword, tripled-bladed and only usable by Viper. The other is a [@RAINBOW SHELL]! That's all for this part, but a few more things need to be taken care of. Take Norris up to the ground-floor parlor to meet himself. He'll get his Lv. 7 tech 'TopShot'! One more thing...remember in the room with the pillars and armchair elevator? There's always been a east wing passage guarded by a robot, but after all of the Guillot events, it's gone. The room beyond has four snake statues and a plaque that says "Respect my behind." When all are put in the floor grooves, a chest appears; approach it from behind to open it. If you approach from the front, you'll fall through a hole. =/ The chest's empty but has a note left by whoever took the contents. S/he has gone to the Isle of the Damned and wants 'Sir Karsh' to accompany one there. This leads to the another sidequest that can be done at the moment, and will earn Karsh his Lv. 7 tech.

Their attacks'll be able to rip into Karsh pretty easily for 50+ a pop, plus they usually attack two or three times in their turn. Diminish the field and have Earthquake traps on standby, since the last thing one wants is 'Sprain' on every ally. CrossCut can still do 200+ with Diminish, but everything else is rather timid. Still, don't count 'em out -- when only one of them is left they can still bring the pain by doing consecutive element attacks. Should you find yourself getting beaten -- and this isn't very far-fetched -- think about coming back here once you've defeated the Earth Dragon and got its Yellow Plate, which will absorb all offensive yellow elements. 1103G awarded for winning, but no level-up star. [NOTE: CrossCut is only used on the first run through the strategy, and then is omitted from then on. There's also a glitch where CrossCut can be used even if one brother is KO'd.

If you did not, simply go to Another World Marbule and inspect the sleeping Black Dragon to receive the [BLACK RELIC]! ############################################################################ Make sure you're in Home World, now... This last stretch of the Marbule quest relates to fighting the Black Dragon, actually. To kickstart the events, put Fargo into the party and take him to see his other self in the Home World's luxury craft, the S.S. Zelbess. The non-wuss Fargo will berate his counterpart and force the newly-rechristened Invincible to Marbule's coast. Now the violent part comes, as the song makes the dream spirits tangible... Fargo will receive his Lv. 7 Tech 'Invincible' automatically! Now, the second leg begins -- enter the boat to make for the demi-human town... (You have to use Fargo, by the way). --- The enemies around are Lagoonates and usually come in pairs. They're blue innate, so any powerful red attacks (Inferno, Volcano, red techs) will do nicely. With Mythril[+] equipment, their special 'Just4Kicks' attack should be doing in the very low double-digits range. Mantarreys' 'FlyLow' is more damaging, but still not by much. In total, there are 9 Lagoonates loitering around the field, with the eighth & ninth inside the town's large cave. When all are defeated, a dragon's cry will be heard in the far-off distance. What's the meaning of this? The Black Dragon has awoken in the opposite dimension, and can now be fought.

Fargo can also use the best healing ability at the moment, CureAll, so that's one more reason to have him. Use Diminish and Weaken at the start of the battle to destroy most difficulty it has. Its Genius/GravityBomb combo can still do 100+ even with elemental damage halved, which be indicative of its strength at full power. HealAlls or CureAlls are a necessity here, no matter the route one takes. You'd be wise to pack a few Imbeciles to counter its Genius elements, and Angel Charms for any people who will be casting offensive white elements. Don't bother with black elements, though, 'cause it'll just heal the draggy (this goes for all dragons, by the way). Either way, the skirmish'll be long and hard if you take the Diminish path, and even harder if you don't. Consider trapping FreeFall if you can't take the heat, and upgrading your equipment to Denadorite caliber if the Dragon buries you each time...Or MagNegate ;) 2154G awarded for winning, plus the thirtieth level-up star. DO NOT LEAVE HERE WITHOUT THAT BLACK PLATE! This will help in a sidequest later on... [SealAll may not be used, but it helps to be in good health when the boss turns sluggish, just in case. Allen Zeng writes that the boss is susceptible to AntiBlack, which can block out a couple of its elements.] The GrimReaper element is a black-innate summon, which you'll want to stick on Lynx when he gets his first Lv. 8 slot.

You'll have to re-enter a few times to get all the chests, since one can only pick a singular path once inside. If you want to escape at any time, there is a sand boil to the east side that'll shoot everyone back into the first screen. Both chests are [@MYTHRIL], by the way. When ready, shoot up the sand boil and have an (automatic) talk with the site foreman, who'll want to prepare explosives to help clear the way. Re-enter the island to find the thing's been cleared of the path. Speak with the foreman a second time to get a [@RAINBOW SHELL] as a reward. Down in the sandpit, the adventurer will hand over an [EXPLOSIVE] if you ask for 'em. They can move rockroaches, but only ones that are inert. In the next room, find the rockroach sitting on a cliff and use the Explosive on it, blowing it into a sandboil. Down the way a little, there's a guy who's observing a rockroach's behavior. Ask him for his finds to learn the summary: "attack it by the cliff." When it stops on the bluff right above the sandboil, that's when you ambush it. After winning, choose to push it into the hole. There's a last [@DENADORITE] chest nearby, so pick it up. The ladder near the sandfalls allows access to the lowest part of the cavern. Fight the third rockroach and push it into the last (3rd) sandboil. The only sandboil left should be the one in the middle, and it can now function to blow Lynx up to the higher-up walkway.

Unlike the Black Dragon, this one doesn't have a lot of elements to spam, so Diminish really isn't needed here. Weaken, because its physical attacks increase in length as the pattern wears on. Green elements work wonders as usual, but even moreso because it doesn't have any sort of instant counter like Black Dragon did. It's attack changes when put in critical condition, but sometimes it skips parts of it (like Catastrophe) by starting midway through the pattern. I'm not sure why it happens, but I suspect it depends on the turn when it's placed in critical. If you do it right after GiddyBreath, it might begin at Catastrophe; if not, it may skip a NaturalGas or something. Either way, it only uses its low HP pattern once, before returning to its normal mediocre stuff. Changing the field effect to the color of your choice with its [Attack Χ3] turn. You'll be lucky to see the dragon's Catastrophe technique, since it rarely uses it, even with optimum conditions (critical HP). The Earth Dragon hands over the [YELLOW RELIC] once it's smoked, so exit the island the same way you came in.

Watch out for those double IceBlasts, since you lose the battle if everyone gets frozen. It's not quite as slow as the Earth Dragon, so you won't get cut much slack. Certain dmg amounts seem to instantly change the pattern to #2/3, which is really just picking a different poison -- Frozen can make you lose faster, while Flu does not wear off in-battle. As the battle wears on, the boss cuts the fat off its attacks and mainly concentrates on its techs and better elements. Break out some HealAlls and pound away with red elements to wrestle the field effect back towards red. One cool thing is that it's possible to burn the boss w/ certain red elements/techs (not MagmaBurst!), which reduces its defensive abilities. You may want to use Diminish in the latter half of the fight if you've got any red-innate characters. 2036G awarded for the win, plus the 32nd level-up star!

You'll also have to re-enter the room to find it again. .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .------------------.---------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: FireDragon | INNATE: Red | HP: 3400 | Salamander (100%) | |------------------'---------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Inferno, Strengthen | | TO STEAL: Magic Ring (1st Form) / Red Plate (2nd Form) | | SPECIALS: FieryBreath (Red-innate damage to an ally + Burns) | | FireBreath (Red-innate damage to all allies + Burns) | | Brimstone (Red-innate damage to all allies + Burns) | | PATTERNS: Attack to FieryBreath to Attack (Χ??) | | [2] FireBreath to Attack Χ2 to FireBreath to Inferno to Strengthen | | to Attack Χ3 -> Brimstone (Χ??) | | FieryBreath (counters any blue element use on it; Form #2 only) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This boss has two forms. It starts off with a fairly basic strategy and a dumbed-down tech which only tops 100 damage. Its physical attack is a piece of crap, too. It does absorb red elements, though, but that's to be expected at this point. Of course, this ain't all the battle amounts to -- after apx. 1000 damage, it transforms into the ACTUAL Fire Dragon. This cues up the 2nd attack pattern it has, and is the form that you can steal a Red Plate from. FireBreath is a real, well, burner -- it can do 200+ to Fargo or any other blue innates. Luckily, there's usually two or three turns in between that tech's use, giving plenty of time to heal up and/or set the field to blue if you want to use BlueWhale/FrogPrince. It uses the trappable Inferno as well; might want to trap it to avoid any undue damage/burns. Brimstone's a pretty crappy attack, luckily, and usually does single digits if the field effect goes your way. If you're having trouble, the reliable Diminish-and- -MagNegate strategy will never lead you astray. Either way, it's kinda nice to have a boss whose attack patterns are always 100% correct. 1800G awarded for winning, plus the 33rd level-up star. The tiny chap gives over the [RED RELIC] and its pet Salamander summon. Time to hit up the Green Dragon...but wait. There's no Green Dragon Isle...! _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 33) Gaea's Navel [Home World] [D-39] _______________________________________________________________________________ ―| ITEMS / ELEMENTS ―――――――――――――――――――――――――| ENEMIES ――――――――――――――――――――――|― | | | | • Ancient Fruit • Green Brooch | • Pterodact | | • @Denadorite • @Denadorite | • PreyMantis | | • @Denadorite • @Denadorite | • Prehysteric | | • @Denadorite • @Denadorite |_______________________________| | • @Denadorite • Green Relic | |___________________________________________| I haven't really mentioned this place because it's been inaccessible for most of the game. But, now...now's the time to come and defeat that dragon. Head to the Home World and go to the Hydra Marshes region. We'll need two items to proceed: the Beeba Flute and an Ancient Fruit. If you missed the former, and you shouldn't have if you took the 'Save Kid' route, simply go to the western part of the marsh and defeat the Beeba there to win it. The fight was rather annoying back then, but now we've got mass-attack elements to do our dirty work. For the [ANCIENT FRUIT], defeat the Beeba team again (same craptacular battle) to win the thing. From now on, this Beeba will give you Ancient Fruit key items when necessary. Head towards the region where you fought Wingapede and talk to the Beeba on the branch. It says to blow the flute here -- do so -- to ride the Wingapede to Gaea's Navel. It uses up the Ancient Fruit for the round trip, which is why one needs to get more from the 'friendly' Beeba. Now it's off to Green Dragon's domain! --- This virgin jungle is the perfect place to find our quarry...too bad there's a stupid stipulation for completing it -- defeat a bunch of enemies here!!! If you leave at any time, the enemies reset. You'll have to do this all in one run! ____________________ ________________ | INVITATION: Leah | INNATE: Yellow | |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | This wild child joins the party temporarily while they're here, and then | | officially when the Green Dragon's defeated.

Tyrano's is a sort of throwback to the ol' C. Trigger days of reptites. Luckily, it brings neither the furor or potential damage that its ancient brethren can. Deluge can deal 200+ on its own, while any better blue-innate (BlueWhale, FrogPrince, etc.) can deal twice that in a single hit. It's pretty crappy from the get-go, but you may want to Diminish when it's HP is in critical 'cause CrunchOut can do mucho damage to any blue character (200+) and inflict Sprain. The Red Plate will make this match even easier, though, not that it's needed. 1718G awarded and the 34th lvl-up star as well. Leah will lead everyone to the Green Dragon's den automatically, but one can still go back and safely save. Approach Green Dragon and...it'll want to have you for lunch! .----------------------------. | SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-------------------.---------------.----------+----------------------------| | BOSS: GreenDragon | INNATE: Green | HP: 3700 | Genie (100%) | |-------------------'---------------'----------'----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: GreenField, Carnivore, HealPlus | | TO STEAL: Green Plate | | SPECIALS: BadBreath (green-innate + Darkness/AntiYellow/Fatigued) | | ToxicBreath (green-innate damage to one ally + Poison) | | PATTERNS: BadBreath/GreenField (Χ??) -> (ToxicBreath) | | [2] Carnivore (Χ??) | | HealPlus (used when in critical condition; heals about 430 HP) | |___________________________________________________________________________| As before, don't use green-innate elements; it'll absorbs 'em + some techs. This battle can be annoying for yellow types because of 'GreenField,' which turns the field innate all green. This leads into the second pattern, being a bunch of Carnivores. BadBreath does no damage whatsoever but can inflict a random status effect, such as AntiYellow, Fatigued, etc...not too much to worry on; ToxicBreath can inflict poison and small damage, and is also not a problem. It rarely uses physical attacks due to its...uh, slothy nature, so as long as you keep the field away from a full green, it'll often waste its attack turn with support attacks. Its physical attacks are pretty bad, anyway -- no spin put on that. Unless you have trouble keeping Carnivores out of your face, there's really no need to Diminish here. You'll know it's almost defeated because it will bob its head up and down, mouth open. Take it down quickly or HealPlus may erase some of your damage. It uses so many non-offensive tactics that one might not even have to heal! 1110G awarded for winning, plus the 35th level-up star. The dragon bestows the [GREEN RELIC], and Leah will join permanently whether you want her to or not. She's such a cutie-pie, how could you resist, you... horrible monster! To leave, return to the first area where the large rock is and blow the Beeba Flute. --- If you followed this walkthrough, the only relic-holder left is Sky Dragon. Lynx should now have his Lv. 7 tech 'ForeverZero', so let's get on it! _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 34) Sky Dragon Isle [Another World] [D-40] _______________________________________________________________________________ ―| ITEMS / ELEMENTS ―――――――――――――――――――――――――| ENEMIES ――――――――――――――――――――――|― | | | | • White Relic | There ain't any! | |___________________________________________|_______________________________| Whatever order you fight the six dragons in, the Sky Dragon'll always be the last one to be taken down. .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .------------------.---------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Sky Dragon | INNATE: White | HP: 3800 | Saints (100%) | |------------------'---------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Magnify, MagNegate, WeakMinded, HolyHealing, UltraNova | | TO STEAL: White Plate | | SPECIALS: NullState (raises Sky Dragon's M.DEF) | | HolyBreath (white-innate damage to all allies) | | WhiteBreath (white-innate damage to one ally + Fatigued) | | PATTERNS: Attack to WhiteBreath to NullState to Attack to Magnify to | | HolyBreath to HolyHealing/MagNegate/WeakMinded+WeakMinded to | | Attack to UltraNova (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| As usual, it absorbs white elements and most techs. Cast an UltraNova trap at the beginning, to ensure it's caught later on. If Lynx has the Stone Swallow and decent ATK, he should be doing 180+ per fierce hit, so use this as an outlet to do lots of damage. In a neutral field effect, WhiteBreath completely SUCKS; it did 7 damage to Lynx! For once, you can use Diminish as a counter card -- do it right after Magnify to cancel it out and stop its HolyBreath from mowing anyone down (it can do 200+ normally to black types!). Its HolyHealing element can restore up to 500+ HP, but it only seems to use it once. I prefer to use Leah here so she can use PhysNegates and help keep Lynx's HP up, 'cause the boss seems to single him out quite a lot. UltraNova is only used when near critical state, but unlike what you may have heard, it can be used more than once per battle. As long as one packs a few Diminish elements to offset the Magnify, this battle's not quite as hard as one would imagine it being. 2150G awarded for victory, plus the 36th lvl-up star. The [WHITE RELIC] is handed over, finishing the quest. Now all that's left before entering the Sea of Eden is taking off this...uh, 'Lynx costume' Serge has on. Home World Fort Dragonia, here we come! ...or you can do some sidequests before then.

Cast Weaken and use your best red elements (BigBreath, Volcano, RedWolf). Sling out a Diminish if you somehow find yourself in danger, because she attacks up to three times per onslaught, and will eventually use Iceberg. After the PunchDrunk tech, only physical attacks are used (random amt. per turn). 1520G awarded for winning, but no level-up star. After dismissing the troops from the island, Orlha's rescued and the story's told. She'll give Lynx the [SAPPHIREBROOCH], which will prove he's Serge when his body's changed back. Orlha's wants him to visit her at that time, also. (Talk to her in the bar to see another scene). When the ruckus dies down, go to the shaman's tower and show the Tear of Hate to Direa. She'll dispense some wisdom and give the [DRAGON EMBLEM] to Serge, which will allow him entrance into the other dimension's shaman tower.

(only when the field effect is all black) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This fight's pathetically easy, but everyone will have 'sprain' status from the fall, so if you want to be funny, use Revenge and put it on the enemy. Besides that, all its attacks suck -- only BlackHole can do anything worth noting, and that's because its % of instant death! It's easy to trap since it's only used when the field effect's pure black. Note that if you flee from this enemy, you'll have to go all the way back to the hole above and jump in again. But, hey, easy BlackHole elements to trap. Pretty good tradeoff. When you're finished farming BlackHoles, use HolyLight to defeat it instantly. 780G awarded for winning. [Simon Wells wrote in to say that sometimes De-Hydrate packs two GravityBlows in one turn; this is perhaps due to usage of white elements.] After defeating the enemy, you'll get Steena's Lv. 5 Tech 'HydraShadow' and can get the [PENDRAGON SIGIL B] chest.

In case you don't know -- and you may not since I haven't mentioned it up until now -- there is a small island that can be landed on, northeast of the central El Nido island. It's really tiny and has little puffs of smoke coming out of it. It won't give a name if you sidle up next to it, but you can still confirm (w/ x-button) and enter into it. Put Riddel in the party at this time (and give her the Black Plate, if you want her to have a good chance of surviving). Talk to the man inside the house to have some incredible scenes revealed! Time for the x-treme showdown with... .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Dario | INNATE: Black | HP: 3500 | Dreamer's Scarf (100%) | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Numble, Weaken, Recoverall, LoRes, BatEye, IceBlast, Upheaval, | | AeroBlaster, FreeFall, PhotonBeam, FirePillar | | TO STEAL: Nostrum / Pendragon Sigil A | | SPECIALS: ConductaRod (black-innate dmg on one ally + Cursed) | | Dash&Gash (black-innate damage on one ally) | | SonicSword (black-innate damage on one ally) | | PATTERNS: Attack -> Dash&Gash -> Attack -> SonicSword -> PhotonBeam/ | | IceBlast/FreeFall/Upheaval/AeroBlaster/FirePillar (Χ??) | |-----------.---------------------------------------------------------------| | v.

Yellow | BatEye (reduces HIT% on element caster) | '-----------'---------------------------------------------------------------' This battle can be VERY hard if you blindly attack. He counterattacks all elements, but his fatal flaw is that it's not instantaneous; he uses up his next turn to do so. Plus, the elements he counters with are mostly de-buffs and aren't damaging. Riddel HAS to be in the party, but if you just want to get through it, give the Black Plate to Lynx so he can coerce Dario into a bunch of ConductaRods while everyone else focuses on red elements. Dario's backed by strong DEF so Diminish-ing the field isn't a smart idea. There's also one reason that red elements are the way to go: burning! Dario can be inflicted with 'burns' which reduces his DEF power (he can also be slapped with Sprain if you can stand the BatEye elements). The way he picks the attack to use at the end of his pattern is simply the opposite color of the last element used; this gets done on the last person to attack him, so with red elements being used, the Blue Plate'll help (but won't prevent Frozen). No matter how you slice it, the possibility of only the Black Plated ally surviving is still high. Because there's no level-up star awarded, don't fret about people being KO'd here. 2500G awarded for victory. Afterwards, the Masamune will be de-cursed and will find a new owner: Serge! This time, it transforms into the [MASTERMUNE], replacing his Sea Swallow. NOTE: Since the Sea Swallow _is_ the Mastermune, it cannot be carried over into a New Game Plus. If you want a great weapon to start with, forge the 'Spectral Swallow' from a @Rainbow Shell. As a kicker, Riddel's Level 7 Tech 'SnakeFangs' will be earned here as well. You'll be amazed to see just how often your new weapon criticals. ^_____^ There's another quest that stems off of this one's completion, but it cannot be done yet...we need a different setup.

Since his queries ask for a certain color, attacking him with the color he expects counts as an 'answer.' Don't attack him, though, to fill your grids up -- they fill up themselves. Defend until the question is asked! Here is how to go about defeating him in this timid manner: QUESTION 1: Yellow (Silence is golden, pyrite is fool's gold, etc.) QUESTION 2: Red (See red, red matador rag, stop sign, blushing red, etc.) QUESTION 3: Green (Nature = green, green with envy, green light = go...) QUESTION 4: Blue ('the blues,' blue ribbon, blue-blooded royal...) QUESTION 5: Black (black pirate flag, karate black belt, black plague...) QUESTION 6: White (white-knuckled, white-haired, white heat...) This lets you 'win', but there are no spoils and you don't get anything. 2) Defeat it by your sword! Equip someone with the Yellow Plate, Diminish the battlefield, equip Sprain-preventing items, and spam Imbecile and Weaken. It may be a bit hard if you take it on right now, but later it's a cinch to defeat with this strategy. Try to steal its @Rainbow Shell! Killing it by force is the __ONLY__ way to get its Sunglasses accessory, of which there is only one in the game. 2500G also received for winning. If you have trouble defeating it, try after completing Terra Tower -- it isn't so hard then. This skirmish'll still take quite awhile, though, so make sure you're prepared going in. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 35) Guldove [Home World] [D-41] _______________________________________________________________________________ ―| ITEMS / ELEMENTS ―――――――――――――――――――――――――| CHARACTERS TO INVITE ―――――――――|― | | | | • Dragon Emblem • Dragon Tear | • Steena | |___________________________________________|_______________________________| You won't be able to do much in this section if you didn't get the Dragon Emblem that's needed to enter the shaman tower.

Set a trap for that, because that's the one you want to avoid like the plague. Physical attacks work fine, and since he's got a penchant for using elements, feel free to use Diminish while you work him over (which is INCREDIBLY easy with the Mastermune). His normal attacks are alright, but as long as you lack a white innate player, they're easy to tolerate. Still, you'll want to use BatEye/Weaken/Imbecile since not all his bite is taken outta the fight. Dark Serge's flexible elemental-wise so equip the _____ Plates for a bit of free healing (besides White Plate). And if you looked over the attack pattern, you'll notice he uses no white-type elements; the more black innates you bring, the easier this battle will be! Try to end it before he uses Ninety-Nine/Vigora since the following attack will be very brutal. If you can steal that @Rainbow Shell, more power to you; if you can't, oh well. This isn't a very good battle to trap elements in, so I say just Diminish and roll with the punches, healing when needed. 1234G awarded for winning, plus the 37th level-up star. Dark Serge leaves after this battle, and the elevator's now able to be used. ____________________ ________________ | INVITATION: Draggy | INNATE: Red | |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | If you didn't get him when I first mentioned him, you can get him now.

At the bottom of the side-stairway, get the [ANTIBLACK] and [NOSTRUM] chests; then, the [ANTIWHITE] and [NOSTRUM] in and around the resonating teleporter. Take a trip up there, enter the door, and after using the Dragon Tear on the pedestal, Serge will be back in his ol', white-innate form once again! He's also naked, but Lynx seemed to have left a spare outfit lying around. o_O The [TEAR OF LOVE] is received from the D Tear's shards. Steena also says something about the legendary 'Chrono Cross' that can be made, supposedly, in Divine Dragon Falls... Hmm. His Lv. 7 Tech is now 'FlyingArrow' instead of 'ForeverZero.' Re-equip his accessories and elements, and it's time to head for the Sea of Eden! ____________________ ________________ | INVITATION: Orlha | INNATE: Blue | | INVITATION: Turnip | INNATE: Green | |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | Head to Another World Guldove and show Orlha the SapphireBrooch she gave | | to Lynx as proof of his...Serge-ness.

Inspect the weird plant in the same spot to get Turnip...! | | Oddly enough, he automatically joins but the player can't rename him (at | | least without using the BeachBum in Viper Manor's [AW] library). | |___________________________________________________________________________| By the way, all characters you got as Serge and all gotten as Lynx are now merged together, so you can use any combination. But, wait...there's one lass missing from use at the moment. Where is she...? The answers will be revealed soon enough... ___________________________ | OPTIONAL: Twin Einlanzers | |―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――| | If you chose the 'Leave Kid' route way back at Guldove and obtained Glenn | | in your party, this 'miniquest' can be accomplished.

And now so is Marbule, if you watched Nikki's concert and cleared the crappy monsters from here during the Save Marbule sidequest. The shop is the same as the other dimension's [SH08] but there is no support element shop to be found. If Irenes is with, talk to the witch doctor in the house nearest the entrance twice to get her Lv. 7 Tech 'SirenSong'. Talk to Toma in the Black Dragon cave to receive a [QUILL AND PAPYRUS FRAME] (do this twice), and talk to the other guy there to get an offer on a Master Hammer! It costs 10000G, but if you buy it, you can make equipment from those dang @Rainbow Shells. AND, to top it all off, talk to the blue demihuman in the brown jacket (you know, the guy who throws rocks at humans?) to get the [FULLREVIVAL] element, the only one in the game. If he doesn't give it up, re-enter the screen and try again. --- Before you can make spectral equipment, make sure Zappa is in your party and talk to the other Zappa in Another World Termina. They'll talk about making the "you-know-what" but won't be able to...unless you have the Master Hammer and a @Rainbow Shell. From now on, the 'Smith Spirit' will be able to forge rainbow equipment! You don't get that Rainbow Axe, though... >__> Congrats, you can now make rainbow equipment! See [SH09] for what can be made and such. Go have fun, you whippersnappers. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 38) Sea of Eden [Home World] "On whom the three Fates smile..."

There are actually three bosses to fight here; the one Serge fights depends on the other he visits the three islands. Whichever is the last one he steps foot on, that's the variation he'll get. Before you take 'em on, I'll mention that you can use the Fate Distortions to exit this Eden and get back onto the regular world map. _ / | Inspect the Records of Fate at the / | PAST islands, in your preferred order, and / | the boss will appear on the last one. / | It's recommended you fight 'Present's FUTURE /_____| boss since it's the only place in the PRESENT entire game to get the Vigora element. Here's how the next boss is decided: Vita Duo = Future is last island visited Vita Unus = Present is last island visited <-- RECOMMENDED Vita Tres = Past is last island visited I'll go from easiest to hardest in the order. .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Vita Tres | INNATE: Blue | HP: 2500 | Diva Dress, Gold Tiara | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Cure, Fireball, EagleEye, MagmaBomb, InfoScope, FirePillar, | | Volcano, CurePlus | | TO STEAL: White Brooch, HolyHealing | | SPECIALS: --- | | PATTERNS: Attack to Cure + Fireball + EagleEye to Attack to Cure + | | MagmaBomb + InfoScope to Attack (Χ??) | | [2] Attack to Cure + FirePillar to Attack to Cure + FirePillar to | | Attack (Χ??) | | [3] Attack to CurePlus to Attack to CurePlus to Attack (Χ??) | | GreenField (used automatically before Lachesis is disabled) | | Volcano (used automatically before Clotho ceases to function) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This is by far the easiest of the three possible bosses. Like its 'older siblings,' it changes its strategy as its pieces are disabled. The pattern changes to '[2]' after Lachesis quits working, and '[3]' after Clotho stops functioning. If you have a green innate like Karsh along, you can pop off a Genie/Sonja summon right after it uses GreenField. Laff! It gets off one Volcano, but that's about all it has up its sleeve besides physical things. Use BatEye/Weaken and your best red elements to destroy it during its third phase, or CurePlus'll make a chump out of you. 1200G and a 38th lvl-up star awarded for winning. .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Vita Duo | INNATE: Green | HP: 2500 | Earring of Light, Diva Dress| |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: EagleEye, Cure, Fireball, InfoScope, Cure, MagmaBomb, Volcano, | | AntiYellow, BatEye, CurePlus, GreenField | | TO STEAL: White Brooch / HolyHealing | | SPECIALS: --- | | PATTERNS: Attack to EagleEye + Cure + Fireball to Attack to Infoscope + | | Cure + Magmabomb to Attack (Χ??) | | [2] Attack to AntiYellow + Cure to Attack to BatEye + Cure to Attack| | (Χ??) | | [3] Attack to GreenField to Attack to Greenfield to Attack (Χ??) | | Volcano (automatically used before Clotho stops functioning) | | CurePlus (automatically used before Atropos stops functioning) | |___________________________________________________________________________| The 'middle' child of the three potential bosses. Weaken/BatEye after it uses EagleEye on itself and wait for its pattern change. It goes to '[2]' after Clotho breaks down, and '[3]' after Lachesis stops working. Weaken and BatEye the thing as you attack, because it's pattern is pretty pitiful as far as its associates' are concerned. Its third phase is not too good, but it attacks three times per turn, so use PhysNegate or something to help keep yellow innates alive and kickin'. 1190G and the 38th level-up star awarded for the win. .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Vita Unus | INNATE: Red | HP: 2500 | Vigora | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Fireball, EagleEye, Cure, MagmaBomb, InfoScope, FirePillar, | | AntiYellow, FirePillar, BatEye, CurePlus, GreenField, Inferno, | | Volcano | | TO STEAL: White Brooch / Diva Dress | | SPECIALS: --- | | PATTERNS: Attack to Fireball + EagleEye + Cure to Attack to MagmaBomb + | | InfoScope + Cure to Attack (Χ??) | | [2] Attack to FirePillar + AntiYellow to Attack to FirePillar + | | BatEye to Attack (Χ??) | | [3] Attack to Inferno to Attack to Volcano to Attack (Χ??) | | CurePlus (automatically used before Atropos quits functioning) | | GreenField (automatclly used before Lachesis quits functioning) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This is the 'hardest' of all the potential boss fights, but not by much. If you got the Mastermune, you can probably do 300+ per fierce hit, and with Diminish, its fire attacks are reduced to crappy status. As you fight it, it changes it strategy as parts 'stop functioning,' a notification that'll follow an element use automatically. For the above, the strategy changes to '[2]' after Atropos quits functioning, then '[3]' after Lachesis ceases to function. Its third form is where some great red trappable elements can be found, but you should have plenty already. Its physical attacks get less fierce as its pieces stop functioning, which should be a welcome change of pace...hopefully. 1180G awarded for winning, plus the 38th level-up star. Too bad Vigora is a blue-only element. =( After defeating whichever boss, the large waterfall just outside will descend and reveal the Time Fortress, Chronopolis. That's the next destination. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 39) Time Fortress Chronopolis [Another World] [D-45] _______________________________________________________________________________ ―| ITEMS / ELEMENTS ―――――――――――――――――――――――――| ENEMIES ――――――――――――――――――――――|― | | | | • Yellow Brooch • Recharge [x5] | • Gizmotoid | | • Nostrum • @Rainbow Shell | • Gyroblade | | • White Brooch • HellBound | • Aero-Guard | | • CureAll • Magnify | • Combot | | • Forget-me-not Pot • Card Key |_______________________________| |___________________________________________| Just inside the place, try to advance and you'll fight...a BOSS!

This can be an awfully tough battle since it's got great ATK and uses hard- -hitting techs that stem off that stat. The best course of action is to use Diminish pronto to reduce damage to about 175 per tech. Your main 3 party members SHOULD have 400+ HP if you've been collectin after-battle bonuses with some manner of diligence, so OHKO'ing shouldn't be in the picture here (unless you're a black innate, which will be kissed goodbye). Doing surgery with the Mastermune is easy and Serge can still strike for 200+ normally, but keep an eye on that field innate. When it's all white, the boss is at his strongest; but, you can also use the Saints summon to inflict great dmg and heal all your allies, too. In the meantime, Weaken/BatEye/Imbecile to help reduce the load you'll have to place on CureAll or HealAll. Should you have went against my advice in fighting Vita Unus, you may have received a HolyHealing element which will also work very well here. Don't forget that MagNegate is useful anytime you can pull it off! After dealing some damage its fist will explode and cue its '[2]' pattern, which is just as hectic and prepared to send some characters into the afterlife. The White Plate makes this battle not too hard to win given its patterns, but having everyone come out of it alive can be a challenge. Steal that missable Rainbow Shell if you can as well. He will have bodily spasms when in critical HP, although this doesn't seem to surface until he's REALLY low on HP (thanks -> Adam)! 1000G awarded for winning, plus the 39th level-up star! And a crappy element! And now for a map...

The room beyond has a lock, so check the adjacent one's cupboard for a [NOSTRUM] before using a floor panel to get to a water facility. Operate the 'Robo-Sewer-Wash' via a control panel here and move the robot (quit with Triangle) to maneuver through the flow to the opposite bank. There's a [WHITE BROOCH] chest to get and a [CUREALL], too, if you can brave the current. There's infinite retries, so don't worry. Once the robot's across, move it to the glowing red button by a ladder to extend a catwalk; Serge's team can use the one on their side to get to said ladder. This enters the room just past the locked one, with a computer that can open the route easier. Northward to the elevator room! Here on the ground (1st) floor, there is an elevator a left exit leading to a dock, and a right exit leading to a stairway. The lift has a Lv. 2 lock on so it can't be used yet. Enter the east stairway and claim a superb treasure of a [FORGET-ME-NOT POT]! Take the stairs up to the second floor, now. Past the red-laser gate, exit south to the elevator room and find the doorway to its left. By one of the large control panels in this...cartographer room, the Lv. 2 lock can be released. This lets the elevator be used, and also unlocks the door by the red-laser field. Beyond said door, if Grobyc is along, inspect the coffin to get his Lv. 7 Tech 'StrongArm.' There are also a safe on the the wall, whose password changes depending on which of the smaller safe doors are open (x5) next to it. Avoid the hassle of manually inputting all 100 combinations by shutting all doors and putting '00' in as the password -- works every time! There are five [RECHARGE]s in the thing. To leave this floor, use the elevator and go to the one directly above -- 3F. [Valerio Cannone writes: I think I've found out something interesting you might want to add to your FAQ. The safe that is on the second floor at Chronopolis actually seems to be using binary coding for its password. Each of the five small doors to its left represent binary digits, with the least significant one being the rightmost one. Closed=0 and Open=1. The initial combination I've found here is 00100 = 4. You can close the safe and try again with another code. 00001 = 1, 11100 = 28 and so on. I hope that will be useful!] Back in the elevator lobby for this floor, take the left door. Read up on some of the game's info if you want, and score a [@RAINBOW SHELL] chest in an antechamber. The room east of the elevator, get a [HELLBOUND] element being guarded by a Combot. Nothing else to do on this floor, so head up to 4F. In yet another lobby, take the east door. A scene will play where some weird shadow-people are waiting for their chief. Exit into the hallway connected to here (not the one you came through) to find the stairway with a [MAGNIFY] chest. A ghost here says the chief was probably by the docks...and that is exactly where he is! Return to the 1F docks area and talk to the ghost; he will leave back to 4F. Enter the room left of the elevator this time. Trash a Combot and get a [CARD KEY] from the chest behind it. With this, the B1 floor can be accessed. Make sure to save in the dock area before entering! Past some Combots patrolling the grounds, go up to the retinal scan machine by the locked door. Enter inside the door, watch some delicious scenes, and let's wreck fate itself! Err, FATE itself! .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Fate | INNATE: Black | HP: 5000 | Magic Seal (100%) | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Diminish, Gravitonne, FreeFall, GravityBlow | | TO STEAL: HolyHealing / Earring of Light | | SPECIALS: DarkEnergy (black-innate damage to all allies) | | HeatRay (black-innate damage to one ally + Cursed, Darkness, or | | AntiBlack) | | PATTERNS: Diminish/Attack to Gravitonne to HeatRay to FreeFall to | | GravityBlow Χ2 to DarkEnergy (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| First order of business is stealing that HolyHealing element, which restores all HP to your comrades and cures status. This is the first chance you have to get one without sacrificing something way better. Yay @ you! Fate uses Diminish on its first turn (after that it's regular attacks) so counter with Magnify if that ain't up your alley. As for its attack pattern, it's a five- -step pattern that repeats over and over in a countdown fashion. Fate really has no damaging attacks besides DarkEnergy, which suffers from Diminish and a (hopefully) non-black field effect. MagNegate works well before that's used, and the Black Plate ensures that it's impossible to lose. Try to kick out a Saints summon if you can make the field effect white, which is easiest to do after DarkEnergy. It can do 1000+ even with Diminish. As long as its best move doesn't get off under the best circumstances, this battle won't be too hard. 2457G awarded as well as the 40th level-up star. Watch some awesome FMVs afterwards, and everyone automatically heads back to the S.S. Invincible. So how to get into that floating tower? And how'll Kid wake up from her slumber at Radius' place? Well, let's take care of Kid's plight first... _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 40) Divine Dragon Falls [Another World] "Caught in an echo of time..."

After that, put the Tear of Love and Hate in their holders to create the legendary lost element [CHRONOCROSS]! This item can be used in battle to recharge all used elements _besides_ the one who uses it. Now for the next part of helping Kid revive.

Some scenes will play where Masa and Mune (Mastermune's spirits) will try to help her by sending Serge back in time. As said before, either the ChronoCross or Mastermune can be used to enter the orphanage. However, using the element alone sends Serge back without his allies, making it a lot harder than the alternative. Giving him lots of healing elements and the Red Plate makes things easier, though. --- Just a head's up: Serge's team will gradually 'fade' back to reality until he's the only one left to navigate this dungeon. The Red Plate helps, even if the enemies aren't too hard (around 800 HP apiece).

If you're close enough, you'll hear 'ding!' sounds; if you do it right, the 'HotShot' tech will be revealed. Check the burning clock to find a kid; tell him it'll be okay to get a [@RAINBOW SHELL]! Under the table in that same room, rescue a kid and learn about Lucca's Ice Gun upstairs. In the adjacent room, defeat the Lava-boys and fish a kid out from behind the planter. He'll give a [NOSTRUM] to the party. Take the left staircase up to Lucca's lab and get the [ICE GUN] off the wall. A party member disappears at this point. Exit south of this room and get a [DIVA DRESS] before heading back into the two-stair room. The kitchen's straight north. Rob a chest of a [STARDUST CAPE] and fight your way back out. Take the right staircase this time and check under one of the beds after defeating the monster; a kid'll bestow another [@RAINBOW SHELL]! The girl points to a floor panel (obvious to the naked eye) that can be removed to find a secret passage. Before you enter, get the [NOSTRUM] the kid on the balcony'll give. Now, use the secret passage! The second ally will disappear after going through the corridor. Use the Ice Gun to extinguish the flames and go north into the children's bedroom area.

But who's had any experience with that? ......Starky? _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 42) El Nido Triangle [Another World] [D-48] _______________________________________________________________________________ ―| ITEMS / ELEMENTS ―――――――――――――――――――――――――| ENEMIES ――――――――――――――――――――――|― | | | | • @Rainbow Shell • @Rainbow Shell | • Puffy | |___________________________________________| • JellyBlubba | | • SideSteppa | |_______________________________| Before you can do this, you'll need to have Starky in the party. If he's not invited yet, check out the [OP08] and [OP09] sections on getting him into yer ranks. Once he's in, it's time to rock! --- As was suggested when Starky joined, his ship might've been intact in the other dimension...and it is! Up until now, this Triangle has flown under the radar by having nothing there, but it glows white at this time. Make sure to bring someone with a lot of red elements because those are the only kind that will work on the boss! In the first screen of this two-part dungeon, get a [@RAINBOW SHELL] in a dead-end alley before taking the road downwards. A 2nd [@RAINBOW SHELL]'s to be had in another dead-end alley down here, a south road from ladder. Follow towards the sunken UFO (un-floating object? :p) to find the boss waiting to eat your brains! .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .------------------.---------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: RoyalJelly | INNATE: Blue | HP: 1657 | Resistance Belt (100%) | |------------------'---------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Numble, IceBlast, Iceberg | | TO STEAL: Earring of Light / Sky Djinn Ring | | SPECIALS: Vortex (blue-innate damage on all allies + Flu) | | PATTERNS: Attack Χ2 to Numble to Attack to Vortex to IceBlast to Attack | | to Iceberg (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| As said before, only red elements will work -- physical attacks end up being ineffectual. Set an Iceberg trap at the beginning as a contingency of sorts, and try to spring a Salamander summon at the very beginning which may OHKO it. It's uber-weak to red innates, and even an Inferno -1 can do 300+. It's not uncommon for someone to X-Strike and finish it in 1-2 turns, either. 900G awarded for defeating it, plus the 41st level-up star. One of the more easy fights, yeah? If Starky's with, the party will be able to gain entrance into the UFO. The tiny spaceman will dig up an anti-gravity device. Back at Chronopolis, he'll attach the special motor to Korcha's crappy boat and make it able to fly! Terra Tower, here we come! (NOTE: You can get Starky's Lv. 7 tech 'StarStruck' by revisiting the UFO w/ him in the party and searching in that floor hatch again.) _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 43) Terra Tower [Another World] "The point where destinies meet..."

Kickstart the battle with a BatEye/Weaken while using anything steer the field effect with anything besides yellow types. S/he who has the Yellow Plate will be good to go (and in fact, will be mostly invincible here) but those without it can suffer 250+ damage when OmegaYellow's used...and that's with a mostly green field. It uses two capsules when placed in critical which helps build the field effect its way, so watch out. The Mastermune slices-'n'-dices just fine here and its rather low HP shouldn't pose a problem. Just make sure not to get murdered by its physical attack which can do 70+ per hit, non-defend! HealAll will of course work very well here, not only as its normal capacity but that it's a green attack. If you want to go the physical attack route, which is safer, don't be afraid to rely on Diminish/MagNegate! 1000G and the 42nd level-up star received for those who finish this alive. [NOTE: If you somehow coax this into using Golem, please e-mail me!] You can now use that YellowField element to kick off easy Golem summons, so make sure to put it on someone other than the person doing those summons. In the third multi-layered room, where Serge's team starts off on lowest tier, go counterclockwise to a [NOSTRUM] chest; then, push the gray pillar near the entrance to find the southern exit. Down the large staircase, there're two ladders and a waterfall. Take the left one to get a [NOSTRUM] and also the easier way towards the exit in the SW corner. Past there, follow the tangled ladder/passageway (straightforward) to where a chest is. Only thing is, Serge and company will fall into a new screen as they pass over the log leading to it. Watch a voice talk to the party below and head into another tangled web of ugly-colored coral. When it wraps around to a doorway, enter and get a [PACK OF LIES] for Sneff. Double-back a screen and continue the upward trek. There's a [DEFENDER PLUS] chest nearby, and up even further, the exit. Now there's a multi-tier path to climb. On the second one, a [@RAINBOW SHELL] is behind a waterfall. From there, it's just a repetitious climb to the top. However, on the fourth floor, slide down the right side to a new doorway. On the other side is Janice's only other weapon upgrade, the [BETTA CAROTENE]! This leads back to the first octagonal room (after Terrator). Push the two pillars down to form a new path from the lower balcony and a way to connect to the second one. Go back and save at this point, if you want. Up the new path in the octagonal room, it leads to a semi-maze with Cupoids all around it. Get the game's only [HEALPLUS] chest nearby before approaching the large red blob that is... .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Pyrotor | INNATE: Red | HP: 2400 | RedField (100%) | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Fireball, FirePillar, RedWolf, Ninety-Nine, Volcano | | TO STEAL: Red Brooch / Flame Charm | | SPECIALS: SadnessWave (red-innate; lowers all allies' ATK) | | OmegaRed (red-innate damage on one ally) | | Rage (red-innate; raises own ATK) | | PATTERNS: SadnessWave to Attack to OmegaRed to Fireball + FirePillar to | | Rage/RedWolf + Ninety-Nine to Attack to Volcano to OmegaRed + | | OmegaRed (Χ??) | | Tablet + Tablet + Tablet (used once; may use v. blue element) | | [2] SadnessWave to OmegaRed to Inferno + MagmaBomb to Rage/RedWolf+ | | Ninety-Nine to Volcano to Omega Red + OmegaRed (Χ??) | |___________________________________________________________________________| Set a RedWolf trap because it's easy to bait it, plus it's also a strategic move. Diminish is a good idea here since it's more element-oriented than Terrator, and is far more brutal. Physical attacks work well here, and make good use of that YellowField element, even if it's just to change the field effect away from pure red. Speaking of which, it uses three Tablets as a offensive blue element counterattack, and that spells bad news if it comes right after Volcano or Ninety-Nine (its attack hits six times!) -- it will only make the oncoming attack twice as hard to stomach! Again, Diminish and use physical attacks -- otherwise anyone without a Red Plate is going to be eating damage like it's on a two-dollar buffet! Its attack changes slightly when in low HP, and it's cut the fat off -- hurry and defeat it before it uses Rage to boost its ATK! [NOTE: Sometimes it doesn't seem to switch to its second attack pattern.] If you're having trouble with this and do not have the Mastermune, you should definitely go get it. 1000G and a 43rd level-up star awarded for the glorious win. After Pyrotor's heavy fall into a dirtnap, simply go up the path it blocked. In the short ladder maze beyond, find the [@RAINBOW SHELL] and a [SPECTRAL GLOVE]! The next room (up the pink coral exit) is a broken waterway. In the midst is a [HOLYHEALING] element, and up the right side is yet another one of those [@RAINBOW SHELL]s! Proceed to what seems to be Viper Manor's library tower and talk to the Prophet. After talking, hit the button in the bookshelf that lowers the ladder -- up there's a [BLACKHOLE] element. Double-back two screens to the broken waterway, finding that a new door in the north has now opened, while the one you just left's closed. Beyond is a room with multi-colored spires. Towards the exit, go left around the rim of the room and work your way down to an [ULTRANOVA] chest on the eastern side. Heal up/save, 'cause there's a boss beyond... .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Anemotor | INNATE: Green | HP: 2500 | GreenField (100%) | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: InfoScope, Bushwhacker, Bushbasher, AeroSaucer, AeroBlaster, | | Sonja, GreenField, BatEye, Carnivore, Tornado | | TO STEAL: Green Brooch / Forest Charm | | SPECIALS: OmegaGreen (green-innate damage on one ally) | | PATTERNS: InfoScope + InfoScope + InfoScope to Bushwhacker + Bushbasher + | | AeroSaucer + AeroBlaster to OmegaGreen to Attack to Sonja/ | | GreenField/BatEye to Carnivore to Tornado to Attack to | | OmegaGreen + OmegaGreen (Χ??) | | HealPlus (used once automatically when HP is >50%) | |___________________________________________________________________________| Set a Sonja trap if you plan on catching it on Turn #5. A good plan for quickly taking this guy down is YellowField -> ThundaSnake/Golem, which is quite easy to setup. Otherwise, just Diminish the field and rely on normal attacks which helps soften the blow of its numerous green elements. BatEye and Weaken will help, as will Imbecile, if you don't have Diminish. As long as someone has a Green Plate equipped, it's near-impossible to lose. 1000G and the 44th level-up star awarded for winning. Use the teleporter Anemotor was sitting on to get up to a save point room. This room has three passages to go down, but the middle's locked. As an ally will mention, the summit seems to be protected by beams stemming from where the passages lead... Take the right passage first, going across the windswept outdoor corridor. Use the teleporter to approach the next boss... .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Luxator | INNATE: White | HP: 3000 | UltraNova (100%) | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Magnify, MeteorShower, MeteorShower, PhotonRay, Unicorn, | | HolyHealing, Meteorite, PhotonBeam, HolyLight, UltraNova, | | AntiBlack, MagNegate, StrongMinded | | TO STEAL: White Brooch / Angel Charm | | SPECIALS: OmegaWhite (white-innate damage to one ally) | | CrashPulse (white-innate; reduces all allies' M.DEF) | | NullState (white-innate; raises own M.DEF) | | PATTERNS: Attack to Magnify/PhotonRay + OmegaWhite to MeteorShower to | | PhotonRay + PhotonRay + PhotonRay to StrongMinded/NullState/ | | Unicorn to Meteorite + PhotonBeam to HolyLight to UltraNova to | | AntiBlack + AntiBlack + OmegaWhite to MagNegate to CrashPulse | | (Χ??) | | HolyHealing (used once automatically when HP drops below 50%) | |___________________________________________________________________________| Diminish the field to start, 'cause it will Magnify on its second turned followed by OmegaWhite -- you'll want another Diminish on standby. This way, you can get right back on the horse after Magnify cancels itself out with its opposite (and Magnify is only used once). BatEye/Weaken/Imbecile when possible, and set a Unicorn trap if you're baiting it to be used; those 3 PhotonRays give you all the setup needed. If you Diminish, there's little need to trap HolyLight or UltraNova (although you'll have to fend off the Fatigued status somehow, if you don't have White Brooches). Later on in the strategy, it will use MagNegate, which only makes physical attacks an even better idea. HolyHealing will only return ~700 HP, and it's only used once, luckily. Keep up with the Mastermune attacks and, if by chance you've got a Pendragon Sigil A or something on, be sure that's off to maximize the damage you're doing. Anyone who can use BlackHole will have a great time in this battle, if you'll hazard the chance they'll stay alive for long. 1100G awarded for winning, plus the 45th level-up star in your pocket. A WhiteField does not exist, though, so you'll have to make do with an UltraNova... After it's defeated, the beam generator behind it is trashed. Return to the save point by the locked door and take the left way this time. .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Gravitor | INNATE: Black | HP: 3000 | BlackHole (100%) | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: HellBound, GravityBlow, Gravitonne, HellSoul, Genius, MotherShip| | FreeFall, BlackHole, Imbecile, Revenge | | TO STEAL: Black Brooch / Daemon Charm | | SPECIALS: OmegaBlack (black-innate damage to one ally) | | PATTERNS: OmegaBlack to Attack to HellBound to GravityBlow + Gravitonne + | | HellSoul to Genius/MotherShip to FreeFall + FreeFall to | | BlackHole to OmegaBlack to Imbecile + Imbecile + Imbecile to | | Revenge (Χ??) | | Nostrum (used once automatically when HP >50%) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This'll probably the most annoying of the normal bosses you fight here, if only because equipping a Black Plate does not mean invincibility. BlackHole elements, as you (should) know, can inflict instant KO even with a Black Plate, so trapping that should be a top priority. There's also the rare MotherShip summon to trap, and this is an easy place to get it at. Diminish the field and let Serge's fierce physical attacks take center stage, while the other two allies concentrate on healing/trapping (Serge can do 600+ w/ Mastermune, so this shouldn't take too long if you have it). Luckily, this boss is sorta slow, and there should be ample time for reviving. Speaking, of which, HellBound may be used twice if it misses the first time. To be honest, this battle can be over by Turn #3 if you keep at it with Serge's Lv. 3 attacks, but if you want MotherShip, you'll have to wait a bit longer to get it. Keep Revives on-hand when possible, or the ReviveAll if you got it way back when. If you need some help, use one of the ___Field elements and pop a summon off. And, don't forget about MagNegate in these "dark" times -- it'll help with the field effect, too. [NOTE: Most of Gravitor's attack targets seem to be the last ally to damage it. It may pick random allies if no one's targeted it since the last attack. This is a good way -- but not foolproof -- way to draw its attention slightly.] 1100G awarded and the 46th level-up star! Defeating Gravitor disables the beam generator on the left side of the tower and allows passage through that locked door near the save point. Just inside is the last normal boss you'll fight here... .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Aquator | INNATE: Blue | HP: 2800 | BlueField (100%) | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Nimble, Vigora, Numble, IceLance, AquaBall, CureAll, BlueField, | | FrogPrince, IceBlast, Iceberg, Deluge | | TO STEAL: Sea Charm | | SPECIALS: OmegaBlue (blue-innate damage to one ally) | | PATTERNS: Nimble + Vigora + Numble to Attack to OmegaBlue to IceLance/ | | Deluge + AquaBall/Iceberg to BlueField/FrogPrince to IceBlast + | | IceBlast to Iceberg to Attack to Deluge to OmegaBlue + OmegaBlue| | (Χ??) | | CureAll (used automatically when HP >50%) | |___________________________________________________________________________| This bad boy's not so bad, especially since one can pop a RedWolf/Salamander summon on it immediately (preferably after first turn). Just make sure that the field gets Diminished afterwards because a Deluge/Iceberg combo will no doubt murder red-innates and inflict frozen/flu. You should have a couple HolyHealing elements, so make good use of 'em. It'll use FrogPrince on its fifth turn if possible, so trap it (although you will already have one) or mess up its requisite all-blue field to prevent its usage. As usual, rely on Serge's muscular physical attacks to do much of the damage; MagNegate can also be used to great effect here. Although this is the last boss of the six that're fought, it's obviously not the strongest. Still, don't let the battle lurch on too long or you may find many characters frozen or in poor shape. Imbecile works well here, too -- its physical attacks aren't that strong. A heapin' helpin' of 1000G is awarded upon victory, plus a 47th level-up star. [The boss does not carry a Blue Brooch, if you're wondering] Save and take the last teleporter up, towards the top of the once-glorious Sky Dragon Isle. Equipping a Pendragon Sigil A on Serge may be a good idea here, as well as elemental Plate armors for your three chosen allies opposed elements. I use Serge, Leah, and Draggy, so I'd put a Black, Green, and Blue Plate on, thus. Get ready to rumble, folks... ############################################################################ REMINDER: Make sure you get all the items in this tower because after this boss is defeated, you will not be able to re-enter this place ever again!!! ############################################################################ .----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS | .--------------------.-------------.-----------+----------------------------| | BOSS: TimeDevourer | INNATE: ??? | HP: 15000 | Earring of Hope (100%) | |--------------------'-------------'-----------'----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Uplift, Fireball, Bushwhacker, AquaBeam, GravityBlow, PhotonRay | | ThundaStorm, MagmaBomb, AeroSaucer, IceLance, HellSoul, | | Meteorite, Volcano, Tornado, AeroBlaster, IceBlast, Gravitonne, | | PhotonBeam, Deluge, AquaBall, HellBound, MeteorShower, FreeFall | | HolyLight, Genius, Imbecile, BlackHole, UltraNova, WeakMinded, | | Purify | | TO STEAL: HolyLight | | SPECIALS: OmegaYellow (yellow-innate damage to one ally) | | OmegaRed (red-innate damage to one ally) | | OmegaBlue (blue-innate damage to one ally) | | OmegaBlack (black-innate damage to one ally) | | OmegaGreen (green-innate damage to one ally) | | PATTERNS: It's pattern changes depending on its form and innate color. | | Note that most patterns won't be fully realized because the TD | | will change the field after a certain amt. of attacks/attempts? | |--------.------------------------------------------------------------------| | White | Attack Χ?? | | Yellow | Uplift + Fireball + Bushwhacker to AquaBeam + GravityBlow + | | | PhotonRay to Attack to ThundaStorm/OmegaYellow (Χ??) | | Red | MagmaBomb + AeroSaucer + IceLance to HellSoul + Meteorite to | | | Attack to Volcano/OmegaRed to Attack (Χ??) | | Green | Tornado/OmegaGreen to Attack to AeroBlaster + IceBlast to | | | Gravitonne + PhotonBeam to Attack (Χ??) | | Blue | Attack to Deluge/OmegaBlue to AquaBall + HellBound to | | | MeteorShower to Attack (Χ??) | | Black | FreeFall to HolyLight to OmegaBlack/Genius + Imbecile + BlackHole| | | to Attack Χ2 (Χ??) | | White | Attack to UltraNova to Attack to WeakMinded + Purify + HolyLight | | | to Attack Χ2 (Χ??) | '--------'------------------------------------------------------------------' NOTE: It absorbs whatever innate color it is/changes to! Summoners beware! NOTE: All allies take damage whenever the boss changes scenery + innates, usually. Sometimes it does 50-70, sometimes it does 0. NOTE: Traps you set on one form will carry over onto the next one! Whoo, this battle will be a doozy, what with all the trappable elements and the very deluge of elements of every sort and color. Luckily, when it shifts forms, it shifts elemental lineups as well, meaning you can prepare a bit easier. However, the best way is always...Diminish! Yeah, it gets boring after awhile, but with 15,000 HP to chop through, it's no small task to make your own elements stand up. Physical attacks are good on all occasions! Here is the breakdown a bit: - WHITE : Not much to say on this initial form, since it only uses physical attacks itself. It can attack all party members much like a user of a Rod/Boomerang could, so watch out. They're sorta weak, but it'll add up over time. Try to conserve your elements during this portion by doing the attack-attack-defend pattern. Feel free to set down Diminish, though. The field also starts out mostly black which means you can get by without too much damage. [You can steal a HolyHealing from it in this form.] - YELLOW : It deliberately keeps the field effect randomized here, by using three crappy elements that have no status effects (whew!). It'll still use ThundaStorm and OmegaYellow eventually, so try and get through this before then (GreenField + Sonja?). It only uses the ThundaStorm once before replacing it with OmegaYellow from then on...meaning it only gets worse from then on. Serge should be able to do a bit more damage since its innate isn't yellow. One cool thing is that if you have a Pendragon Sigil equipped, the Bushwhacker will 'TurnGreen' Serge and he can do even more dmg with his physical attacks, usually twice as much! - RED : Like before, if Serge has a Pendragon Sigil A on, the boss may hit him with the three-element combo and 'TurnBlue' him, making all physical attacks do about twice as much. He'll use Volcano and OmegaRed also, but I don't suggest trapping either. Save up for later HolyHealings by Diminishing the field to get through, and using HealAlls when needed (or CureAlls if you have a blue character with). - GREEN : He gets a little down and dirty here with harder-hitting elements and no yellow ones, making the Pendragon Sigil 'helper' outta the picture. Shoot for a ____Field and try to pop a summon on it, while Serge slices-'n'-dices it. Not too difficult, but the party WILL take some damage, as opposed to the rest where you can get off without too much trouble. - BLUE : Keep your Revives on-guard because it uses the always-annoying HellBound elements mixed in with some blue and white ones. Its physical attacks will damage everyone here, also. Although this form is annoying, the next will be even moreso -- attempt to set a BlackHole trap here to prepare for the next form. - BLACK : This attack pattern is only five turns long, meaning it's very possible you'll get a BlackHole...and that is the LAST thing you want to experience. Set a trap for it and get ready to replace it if it gets used, while Serge bombards the TD with physical damage. As long as a BlackHole is not used (it can inflict instant KO, duh guys) this will be a smidgin easier. Hopefully Serge has a Black Plate regardless -- it helps immensely if he can draw its fire. This form shouldn't last too long if your hits connect; feel free to use an EagleEye to expedite the form. - WHITE : An UltraNova trap will do you good here, making HolyLight its main force of attack. Either way, expect to be inflicted with a few 'Fatigued' statuses. This form is more physical-oriented than the middle ones, so Weaken/BatEye while Serge (surprise!) slaps the fool with his swallow. I didn't see OmegaWhite used here, oddly enough...but I only played through twice to make sure the strategies were right, so... =/ Keep HealAlls coming when you know UltraNova's near, and that'll help keep its damage in the low hundreds range (hopefully). Defeat this sucka with some tried-and-true strategies you've been using thus far and it'll be gravy. Sure Diminishing the battlefield all the time is a bit cheap, but when the world's at stake, who cares? 2000G awarded for your great victory, plus the 48th level-up star. The Frozen Flame tells Serge to go to the place where time became divided and weave the threads back together again. "Angelus Errare," anybody? The Prophet bestows a [TIME EGG] with Serge and leaves again... Watch the sweet FMV regarding Terra Tower and it's off to the final boss.

As Marle said on the beach, this battle decides how Lavos evolves later on -- meaning? There are two ways to fight, two different outcomes. 1) Simply beat the crap out of it. Cast Diminish to reduce damage from its inordinate amount of green-type attacks and simply defeat it with normal attacks. Or, if you want to give it a fighting chance, just bring a lot of HealAlls [etc.] and fight it on both fronts. In all actuality, it's not much of a hard boss; it just flaunts a high HP value, probably in line with the one it had previously (15,000). Defeating the TimeDevourer this way gives the 'bad ending.' 2) The real way to defeat this beast is to harmonize all the sounds of the world with the Chrono Cross. You've been given small clues as to the order you need to do so, but they're subtle and hard to figure out. When one has the Chrono Cross equipped, you'll see elements' colors that, once used, show up on the top of the screen with their own 'ding!' noise. The correct order that must be displayed, from left to right is: Yellow -> Red -> Green -> Blue -> Black -> White -> ChronoCross Setting this up so that the TD plays into the pattern is hard work as it may change its elemental attack and mess it up. If you can get it to use a Yellow type, simply do crappy Lv. 1 attacks of all the other types and use the Chrono Cross afterwards. Sometimes the enemy will play right into the pattern, sometimes not -- it's luck of the draw. I find the foe uses yellow elements as soon as I try to make its initial green elements a part of the pattern, but that's just my observations... Make sure this is done in one run, 'cause it doesn't seem to work any other way. Who said it would be a cakewalk? If you do it, though, and do it right, the battle'll end no matter the damage done. NOTE: The Chrono Cross can be placed anywhere on the grid, mind you. For those who want layman's terms: 0) Raise everyone's stamina to Lv. 7 1) Use Lv. 1 Yellow element 2) Use Lv. 2 Yellow element -> Everyone defend 3) TimeDevourer uses yellow element 4) Use crappy Lv. 1 elements; Red -> Green -> Blue -> Black -> White 5) Serge uses ChronoCross element and wins And, yes, it is Blue/Black/White, not Blue/White/Black. Defeating TD in this way will ―――――――――――――――― give the 'good ending'.

If you return to this room and inspect the bare wall, you can get ANOTHER tech and Dragoon's Glory. This can be repeated as many times as you want, making Viper one of the best characters in the game because of it.

Rescue Razzly from her captor but DO NOT include her in the boss battle with the Hydra (or this will screw up the next part). Later on, after events aboard the S.S. Invincible, return to Water Dragon Isle and see that it's overrun by dwarvenkind. Razzly _SHOULD_ be in the current party lineup for these events. Waste enough time so that at the very bottom of the falls, the fairy Rosetta ends up perishing. If all this is done, return to Home World Water Dragon Isle after finishing up the Chronopolis events. The place will be revitalized via Rosetta's wish, and if Razzly's with, she'll obtain the [FLORAL ROD] as well as the final tech. (Only Razzly can equip the Floral Rod, by the way.

Later, after you do the events at Fort Dragonia [Home World] and get the Serge-recruited characters back, talk to Pierre at Termina [Another World]. The prop sword becomes the 'Hero's Blade' and he'll learn the tech. In-battle, it will ALWAYS miss...that is, unless all three pieces of the Hero's equipment are collected and equipped. They are: • Hero's Sword • Hero's Shield • Hero's Medal Consult the walkthrough on how to obtain 'em. .-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. | ORLHA / '----------------------------------------------------------------------------' [ 19 ][ 20 ] [ 12 ][ 14 ][ 16 ][ 23 ] [ 07 ][ 08 ][ 09 ][ 13 ][ 21 ] [ 00 ][ 00 ][ 00 ][ 05 ][ 11 ][ 18 ][ 26 ] [ 01 ][ 02 ][ 03 ][ 10 ][ 15 ][ 29 ][ 35 ][ 41 ] [ 04 ][ 06 ][ 25 ] [ 17 ] Orlha's one half of a set of twins, and tends bar in Guldove.

I highly recommend reading up on his FAQ (http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/chrono_cross_tumalu.txt) to learn about evolving him. He can be quite formidable, but always grows CUTER!

Also, the current Lv. 7 tech becomes 'Pounce+4' on a New Game Plus, where you'll have to evolve Pip again. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― WEAPONS [WPNS] _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Weapons are, naturally, the tools for stabbin' and attacking the enemy. One's ATK stat helps deal damage here, and upgrading is also part of the process of doing that. Note that _ALL_ equipment that includes a Rainbow Shell will also include a Shiny Soot/Ember/Dew/Sand/Salt/Leaf as well; it's represented as 'Shiny Items' to help keep the tables in order. WEAPON NAME = Name of the weapon (dur!) USED BY = Characters who can equip these weapons ATK = Attack increases per upgrade HIT% = Accuracy upgrades, if any COMPONENTS = Raw materials needed to create one (when applicable) Listed weapons that don't show their components CANNOT be disassembled, as they are either storyline items or just plain special. :p .------------------. | Swallows | USED BY: Serge, Lynx |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Sea Swallow | --- | --- | ------------------------------------------ | | Copper Swallow | + 2 | + 1 | Copper, Humour | | Steel Swallow | + 5 | + 2 | Iron, Humour, Feather | | Silver Swallow | + 8 | + 2 | Mythril, Eyeball, Humour, Feather | | Stone Swallow | +12 | + 3 | Denadorite, Humour, 2 Feather, 2 Scale | | Mastermune | +15 | + 4 | ------------------------------------------ | | Spectra Swallow | +17 | + 4 | Rainbow Shell, Feather, Scale, Shiny Items | '------------------'-----'------'--------------------------------------------' The Mastermune can also recover HP slightly, not that it makes much of a difference. Be aware that the Mastermune is, in fact, the Sea Swallow with a twist and will not carry over onto a NG+. Get a Spectra Swallow to ensure you start with the best stuff available! .------------------. | Swords | USED BY: Glenn, Viper, Fargo, Turnip, Steena, Pierre |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Bone Sword | --- | --- | ------------------------------------------ | | Bronze Sword | + 2 | + 1 | Copper, Humour, Leather | | Hero's Blade | + 3 | + 4 | ------------------------------------------ | | Steel Sword | + 5 | + 2 | Iron, Humour, Leather | | Silver Sword | + 8 | + 2 | Mythril, Humour, Leather | | Stone Sword | +12 | + 3 | Denadorite, Screw, 2 Humour, 2 Leather | | Einlanzer | +13 | + 4 | ------------------------------------------ | | Viper's Venom | +15 | + 0 | ------------------------------------------ | | Slasher | +15 | + 4 | ------------------------------------------ | | Spectral Sword | +17 | + 4 | Rainbow Shell, Leather, Screw, Humour, | |------------------+-----+------| Shiny Items | | Einlanzer | +18 | + 4 | ------------------------------------------ | '------------------'-----'------'--------------------------------------------' The Hero's Blade can only be obtained if you have Pierre. Show him the Prop Sword found at the Tower of Geddon and he'll be able to use it. Viper's Venom is Viper's special sword, found in the basement of his manor [Another World]. As for the two Einlanzers, Glenn is the only one who can equip it. The first is obtained during the storyline at Isle of the Damned (Another), and the 2nd can be obtained after defeating Dario (take Glenn to see Einlanzer in Termina Another World). He can double-wield both at once, but only one is 'equipped'; this means that the second Einlanzer stat above is an upgrade of sorts. And last but not least, the Slasher is the common drop from the enemy 'Slash,' accessible at the Bend of Time in a NG+ (only!). Anyone can equip a Slasher, but those other special weapons are only available for said people! Remember this. .------------------. | Daggers | USED BY: Kid |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Ivory Dagger | --- | --- | Bone, Fang | | Bronze Dagger | + 2 | + 1 | Copper, Humour, Fang | | Iron Dagger | + 5 | + 2 | Iron, Humour, Fang | | Mythril Dagger | + 8 | + 2 | Mythril, Humour, Fang | | Denadorite Dagger| +12 | + 3 | Denadorite, Feather, 2 Humour, 2 Fang | | Prism Dagger | +17 | + 4 | Rainbow Shell, Fang, Feather, Shiny Items | '------------------'-----'------'--------------------------------------------' .------------------. | Gloves | USED BY: Poshul, Draggy, Mojo, Zoah, Marcy, Miki, Orlha, | | Grobyc, Pip, Greco, Skelly, NeoFio |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Bone Glove | --- | --- | Bone, Leather | | Bronze Glove | + 2 | + 1 | Copper, Humour, Leather | | Iron Glove | + 5 | + 2 | Iron, Humour, Leather | | Mythril Glove | + 8 | + 2 | Mythril, Humour, Leather, Fang | | Granite Glove | +12 | + 3 | Denadorite, Humour, 2 Leather, 2 Fang | | Spectral Glove | +17 | + 4 | Rainbow Shell, Humour, Leather, Fang, | '------------------'-----'------| Shiny Items | '--------------------------------------------' Besides the Betta Carotene, the Spectral Glove is the only rainbow weapon to appear as a regular treasure. It's found in Terra Tower, though, meaning it only comes into play in the late-late game and is missable. Still, better to reap it when you find it than to make on yourself. .------------------. | Axes / Hammers | USED BY: Leah, Funguy, Karsh, Zappa |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Bone Axe | --- | --- | Bone, Copper, Fang | | Bronze Axe | + 2 | + 1 | Copper, Fang, Humour | | Iron Axe | + 5 | + 2 | Copper, Iron, Humour, Fang | | Silver Axe | + 8 | + 2 | Copper, Mythril, Screw, Humour, Fang | | Great Hammer | + 9 | + 5 | Copper, Iron, Mythril, Fang, Screw, Eyeball| | Stone Axe | +12 | + 3 | Copper, Denadorite, Humour, 2 Fang, 2 Screw| | Master Hammer | +15 | + 5 | Bone, Copper, Iron, Mythril, Denadorite, | | | | | Fang, Screw, Eyeball | | Rainbow Axe | +17 | + 4 | Rainbow Shell, Copper, Fang, Humour, Shiny | '------------------'-----'------| Items | '--------------------------------------------' Oddly enough, there's no way to buy any Bronze Axes. The only way to get one is by stealing it off of the Dead Head boss during S.S. Invincible events. Also, Zappa and Funguy can equip hammers AND axes; Leah and Karsh can only equip axes. [NOTE: Hammers cannot be created. See the walkthrough for getting the Master Hammer.] .------------------. | Staffs | USED BY: Sprigg, Radius |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Silver Staff | --- | --- | Mythril, Humour, Eyeball | | Stone Staff | + 4 | + 1 | Denadorite, Eyeball | | Spectral Staff | + 9 | + 2 | Rainbow Shell, Eyeball, Shiny Items | '------------------'-----'------'--------------------------------------------' Copper/Iron staffs do not exist because there are no staff-wielders early in the game; however, this does not mean the Silver Staff and its kin are any less powerful than other items of similar metals. But who'd want to waste a Rainbow Shell on these two guys, anyway? :p .------------------. | Shot / Decks | USED BY: Sneff, Harle, Luccia, Doc |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Bronze Shot | --- | --- | Copper, Humour, Feather | | Steel Shot | + 3 | + 1 | Iron, Humour, Feather | | Silver Shot | + 6 | + 1 | Mythril, Scale, Humour, Feather | | Stone Shot | +10 | + 2 | Denadorite, Humour, 2 Feather, 2 Scale | | Private Deck | +10 | + 2 | Mythril, 3 Fur, 3 Eyeball | | Pack of Lies | +15 | + 3 | Denadorite, 6 Fur, 6 Eyeball | | Prism Pellets | +15 | + 3 | Rainbow Shell, Humour, Feather, Scale, | '------------------'-----'------| Shiny Items | '--------------------------------------------' There is no 'rainbow' pack of cards to get, and there's no way to create any decks either. The Private Deck is initially equipped on Sneff, while the Pack of Lies is found in Terra Tower (making it missable, of course). Unlike the axes/hammers thing, everyone who can equip shot can also equip cards. It's a nice, easy feelin' this way. .------------------. | Utensils / Pans | USED BY: Macha, Orcha, Leena |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Spatula Ca20 | --- | --- | Bone, Carapace | | Besom Cu29 | + 2 | + 1 | Copper, Humour, Carapace | | Ladle Fe26 | + 5 | + 2 | Iron, Humour, Carapace | | Frypan Ag47 | + 8 | + 2 | Mythril, Humour, Fur, Carapace | | Saucepan Si02 | +12 | + 3 | Denadorite, Fur, 2 Humour, 2 Carapace | | Crystalpan C6 | +17 | + 4 | Rainbow Shell, Humour, Fur, Carapace, | '------------------'-----'------| Shiny Items | '--------------------------------------------' In the walkthrough, if I mention them, they're called 'utensils' rather than pots and pans and such...even if a besom isn't cooking-friendly. >___> .------------------. | Guns | USED BY: Starky, Norris |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Ferrous Gun | --- | --- | Copper, Iron, Humour, Screw | | Argent Gun | + 3 | --- | Copper, Mythril, Eyeball, Humour, Screw | | Denadorite Gun | + 7 | + 1 | Copper, Denadorite, 2 Scale, 2 Screw | | Shockwave Gun | + 8 | + 2 | ------------------------------------------ | | Plasma Gun | +11 | + 2 | ------------------------------------------ | | Spectral Gun | +12 | + 2 | Rainbow Shell, Copper, Scale, Screw, Shiny | '------------------'-----'------| Items | '--------------------------------------------' There are three guns that cannot be made. The Ferrous Gun comes equipped on Norris initially; the Shockwave Gun comes equipped on Starky initially. Find the Plasma Gun by taking Starky to Home World Arni Village and inspecting the large sawfish. If you're wondering why there are no copper and bone guns... it's probably because they had a high fatality rate for the user. >___> .------------------. | Lures | USED BY: Korcha |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Iron Lure | --- | --- | Iron, Bone, Scale, Seed | | Mythril Lure | + 3 | --- | Mythril, Bone, Scale, Seed | | Stone Lure | + 7 | + 1 | Denadorite, Bone, 2 Scale, 2 Seed | | Prism Lure | +12 | + 2 | Rainbow Shell, Bone, Scale, Seed, Shiny | '------------------'-----'------| Items | '--------------------------------------------' Lures aren't just for fishing gags anymore! Luckily, they're only found on one of the worst characters in the game and you can avoid him completely. .------------------. | Boomerangs | USED BY: Van, Mel |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Steelerang | --- | --- | Iron, Feather, Scale | | Silverang | + 3 | --- | Mythril, Fur, Feather, Scale | | Rockerang | + 7 | + 1 | Denadorite, Fur, 2 Feather, 2 Scale | | Prismarang | +12 | + 2 | Rainbow SHell, Fur, Feather, Scale, Shiny | '------------------'-----'------| Items | '--------------------------------------------' Boomerangs' fierce attacks can hit all enemies (sometimes), so if you're a fan of these two characters, they'll pay off. They're the only other weapons besides rods which have this property. .------------------. | Rods | USED BY: Razzly, Riddel, Guile |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Porcelain Rod | --- | --- | Bone, Eyeball | | Brass Rod | + 2 | - 1 | Copper, Humour, Eyeball | | Iron Rod | + 5 | --- | Iron, Humour, Eyeball | | Mythril Rod | + 8 | --- | Mythril, Screw, Humour, Eyeball | | Denadorite Rod | +12 | + 1 | Denadorite, Screw, Feather, Humour, Eyeball| | Floral Rod | +16 | --- | ------------------------------------------ | | Rainbow Rod | +17 | + 2 | Rainbow Shell, Screw, Eyeball, Shiny Items | '------------------'-----'------'--------------------------------------------' These weapons are odd for a number of reasons. One, the Brass Rod actually decreases HIT%; secondly, its fierce attack has an attack-all property that can damage all enemies. Even if it misses on the target, it may still damage the others! The Floral Rod can only be equipped by Razzly and is received if you complete the very specific steps to get her Lv. 7 Tech RazFlower. This'll be received automatically at that time. .------------------. | Picks | USED BY: Nikki, Irenes |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Porcelain Pick | --- | --- | Bone, Fur | | Brass Pick | + 2 | + 1 | Copper, Feather, Fur | | Iron Pick | + 5 | + 2 | Iron, Feather, Fur | | Mythril Pick | + 8 | + 2 | Mythril, Feather, Eyeball, Fur | | Pebble Pick | +12 | + 3 | Denadorite, Eyeball, 2 Feather, 2 Fur | | Prism Pick | +17 | + 4 | Rainbow Shell, Fur, 2 Feather, Shiny Items | '------------------'-----'------'--------------------------------------------' Picks are actually used for playing instruments, which are the two allies' main weapons. NOW YOU KNOW-know-know-know-know. .------------------. | Carrots | USED BY: Janice |------------------+-----.------.--------------------------------------------. | WEAPON NAME | ATK | HIT% | COMPONENTS | |------------------+-----+------+--------------------------------------------| | Carrot | --- | --- | ------------------------------------------ | | Betta Carotene | + 6 | --- | Rainbow Shell, 4 Seed, Shiny Items | '------------------'-----'------'--------------------------------------------' We can all understand how stupid cooking utensil items are, but vegetables? Yeah, that's far out there, man. One notable thing is that the Betta Carotene is the only rainbow-shell weapon (besides Spectral Glove) that can just be found lying around. It's in Terra Tower and is missable -- one because the place becomes inaccessible later on, and two because you have to be paying attention to find it. Consult the appropriate section to find it, 'cause if you don't want to use Janice, you can at least disassemble it for a Rainbow Shell and a complete set of Shiny components. =) _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― ARMOR [ARMR] _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Armor...well, is something you equip to boost your defense.

A chest has this item inside. • Screwy Dress ----> In the Tower of Geddon, in the screen right before you fight Miguel. • Carapace Dress --> It's in a chest at Home World Viper Manor's underground cistern/sewer area. • Energizer Suit --> In Home World Hermit's Hideaway. Up in Radius' treehouse you can find it in the rafters...if you wanna call 'em that. • Stardust Cape ---> During the Kid flashback scene at Lucca's Orphanage, it can be found within a chest at the kitchen area. • Diva Dress ------> During the Kid flashback scene at Lucca's Orphanage, it can be found sitting by its lonesome up on the leftmost part of the balcony. • Scaley Dress ----> At Water Dragon Isle [Home World], you can find it in a cave behind a waterfall (screen right before you find Water Dragon). • Wisp Cape -------> Given to Razzly at Water Dragon Isle, if you fought the Hydra with her in the party, allowing her to see there was some baby Hydras on the way. This is an optional event, though, so make sure you stop by to get this. Or, steal it from the FireDragon boss at Mt.

They can only be used once per battle (unless they're consumables) but most have something to bring to the table. If you want to see which ones can be bought, check the shop list.

On a normal playthrough, only #1 and 2 can be done; on a New Game Plus, all the rest have the potential to be unlocked. Obviously, things concerning the endings will be SPOILERS-rific, so I'll not reveal anythin' but the crucial details. If you DO want the nitty-gritty on what goes down, consult: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/chrono_cross_ending_a.txt Well, here's the minor rundown. #01 - Defeat the TimeDevourer at Opassa Beach by simply attacking it blindly and not using the ChronoCross method. #02 - Defeat the TimeDevourer at Opassa Beach by _NOT_ attacking it blindlym but by using the ChronoCross method. #03 - Defeat the TimeDevourer at Opassa Beach [Home World] before you do any of Leena's scale-hunting. He has to be alone, so don't bring Poshul with or anything. #04 - Destroy the TimeDevourer before picking a guide for Viper Manor. #05 - Trash the TimeDevourer after post-Viper Manor events in Guldove, when you find out Kid's been poisoned with hydra venom. Choose the option to save Kid but defeat the TD before doing so. #06 - Finish the TimeDevourer after Kid recovers from her poison (this can be done on either path, although if you chose not to save her, you may have to visit Guldove again to get her in the party) but before you storm Ft. Dragonia. [NOTE: There's a variance in this ending if Korcha was able to propose to Kid at Termina -- she had to have been in the party after she recovered from the poison, and Korcha rowed everyone back to town.] #07 - Finish the TimeDevourer after Kid recovers from her poison, but before you enter Ft. Dragonia. Nikki and Razzly must both have been invited (you need to pick Nikki as a guide in the Termina events, and choose to save Kid to get Razzly) and Kid must have been invited back into the party -- she can be missed, y'know! #08 - Defeat the TimeDevourer after escaping the Temporal Vortex but before you go to Viper Manor to rescue Riddel. #09 - Defeat the TimeDevourer ___RIGHT___ after rescuing Riddel. #10 - Defeat the TimeDevourer after Harle leaves the party, which is once you have visited the 'Pearly Gates'. #11 - Defeat the TD after (1) events at Home Fort Dragonia that allow Serge to repossess his original body (2) defeating Dario & getting a Mastermune; but, do this before finishing the Chronopolis events in the Sea of Eden. This is a funny ending. :p #12 - Defeat the TD after Terra Tower has risen (post-Chronopolis) but before the tower sinks back into the ocean (defeating the TD at the top). _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― DOUBLE/TRIPLE TECHS [DBLT] _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Double/Triple techniques call back the days of Chrono Trigger when one could essentially 'combine' forces into a new, special attack. Chrono Cross gets it basically the same, only they can be used once per battle and use up 2~3 of the character's special techs as well. To set up a tech, get the requisite people with their techs available for use. Set up their grid so each has their tech available -AND- they have the Stamina (1.0+) available to use them. .-----------------------.-----------------------.------------.----------. | CHARACTER #1 | CHARACTER #2 | ATTACK | INNATE | '-----------------------'-----------------------'------------'----------' Serge (Dash&Slash) Glenn (Dash&Gash) X-Strike Red Nikki (Limelight) Miki (DanceOnAir) Flamenco Red Kid (Pilfer) Mel (Snatch) DoubleTake Red Guile (WandaSwords) Sneff (SwordTrick) SwordStorm Black Grobyc (StrongArm) Norris (TopShot) PitchBlack Black Zoah (Toss&Spike) Karsh (DragonRider) DragonSpike Green NeoFio (BamBamBam) Turnip (VegOut) TossedSalad Green Radius (VitalEnergy) Viper (AirForce) VitalEnergy White Draggy (BigBreath) Leah (TripleKick) DraggyRider Yellow • All do damage except for Flamenco which augments all stats .------------------.--------------------.---------------------.--------------. | CHARACTER #1 | CHARACTER #2 | CHARACTER #3 | TECH | '------------------'--------------------'---------------------'--------------' Serge (FlyingArrow) Sprigg (---------) Kid (RedPin) Z-Slash Serge (Luminaire) Razzly (RazFlower) Leena (MaidenFaith) DeltaAttack • DeltaAttack is white-innate • Z-Slash is blue-innate and has a weird stipulation for Sprigg. She has to have Doppelgang's the enemy 'Slash' (available only on NG+), transformed into him, and have a Lv4 element grid -- the latter is necessary because the tech DashSlash is used to finish off this triple tech. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― STAR LIST [STRL] _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Stars, or level-up stars as I call them, are obtained after defeating certain storyline bosses. By defeating them, all allies gain some extra stats and the window of opportunity to get more by defeating regular/minor enemies for a while. When the next star is gained, the bonuses that could have been gotten before are lost, so make sure you get as many of those piddly li'l bonuses as they really stack up. Over time, you can miss out on 100s of HP and 10s of STR, MGC, etc. bonuses! This list is just designed to show you the bosses that drop these 'stars.' For boss strategies, consult the walkthrough, 'cause I ain't copy-and-pasting them just to inflate this guide. Numbers that look like "13/14" or something means which # star you get varies depending on (1) the routes you have or have not taken in the game (2) the order in which you choose to fight bosses, if there is a choice. Bosses left out of the following chart DO NOT give level-up stars, ever.

On the 'Leave Kid' route, they DO give level-up stars and cannot be avoided. NOTE: Solt and Peppor only give a level-up star at Mt. Pyre if you completely skip the Water Dragon Isle 'Ice Breath' sidequest. NOTE: A Dragoon appears at Fort Dragonia's entrance with the #15 star only if you completely skip the Water Dragon Isle 'Ice Breath' sidequest. It'll also drop the FrogPrince summon. This will not appear on a New Game Plus, however, so if you want the maximum stars, make sure you do the Ice Breath sidequest! NOTE: The BlackDragon can only be fought as part of the 'Save Marbule!' quest that's started after defeating the Sage onboard the Zelbess (consult walkthrough for details). If you do not initiate this, it cannot be fought in your current playthrough!

(THESE ARE NOT LISTED ABOVE BUT YOU STILL NEED THEM ARGH OKAY GUYS!?!?!?) These items are acquired by defeating an enemy with an elemental summon, at which time the items are received as battle spoils; OR, by disassembling certain equipment which have them as components (like Antitoxinal Caps, Poultice Caps, etc). A few notes about such things: 1) Enemies have to be killed by the summon to leave a drop 2) Shiny material replaces the regular drops the enemy has 3) Thus, if the enemy has no drops, no shiny stuffs can drop either. 4) Each elemental summon produces a different type of the shiny material ############################################################################# _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― FRAME LIST [FRML] _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― What's a frame, you ask? Why, it's the border around the text box! Unlike the other games you may find, this game has them as 'items' you can earn or get through various fashions. To select window frames, simply go into the main menu's Customize tab and select them from there. Note these have absolutely no bearing on the game WHATSOEVER, but they're still fun to collect if you wanna change-up how the text boxes look. • Arnian Wood - Available at the start of the game • Simple Line - Available at the start of the game • Iron Plate - Available at the start of the game • Shellfish - In Home World Arni, search the salesgirl's cart to get • Tea for Three - In Another World Termina, run up the stairs by where the statue polisher is. There is a person standing in the shade (player can't see him) and if you talk to him and say you understand him, he'll give this over. • Porre's Furnace - After the events at Viper Manor [Another World], when you return to Termina after visiting Guldove, go back to Viper Manor. In the library tower, search behind a desk to find a trapdoor that leads to a secret room. Talk with the BeachBum to get this rusty frame. • Skullduggery - In Another World Shadow Forest, use the Aroma Pouch to attract the red blob-thing located near the entrance, making it follow you. Bring it to the 3rd screen where the Quadffid is blocking the path and feed it to it. It shrinks and gives the frame before it runs away... • Tropical Paradise - If you tell Korcha that you can't save Kid during the mandatory Guldove events, Macha will end up helping our protagonist out, giving him this automatically. • Guldovian Stitch - When Korcha asks Serge if he'll save Kid, say he will and proceed with the game's course. Later on, after she is revived, Mel will steal her elements. Choose to find her, even if Kid protests, and continue to Termina once again. When Korcha lends his boat over, talk to Mel and get this (as well as her in the party!) • Infrared Vision - At Home World Fossil Valley, go 'upstairs' to where the large dragon skeleton is and search behind the skull to find the frame in a neat, li'l chest. • Valencian Cloth - In Another World Marbule, form a party consisting only of demi-humans and talk to the guy in blue near the town entrance to get this. You can only get this item as Lynx when he has two other demihumans in the party, and only before awakening the Black Dragon during the 2nd part of the "Save Marbule" sidequest. • Monster's Mouth - On the S.S. Zelbess, after Sneff turns everyone into a cat, go upstairs to the kitchen and use the cat door to get inside. Talk to the cat in there and it will give this as a gift, meow. >__> • Our Favorite - After defeating Starky at Home World Sky Dragon Isle, Martian re-enter the screen and talk to the man in green. He's in the mood to give you this generous gift. • Snakes & Orbs - At Another World Gaea's Navel, find the Prehysteric (small humanoid monster) that is standing alone up in a tree. Defeat it and this will be received afterward. • Quill and Papyrus - After completing the 'Save Marbule!' sidequest, return to the village after the Chronopolis events to find it settled again. Talk to Toma in the Black Dragon's Cave (x2) and he'll give it over _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― KEY ITEMS [KYTM] _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Key items, or items that can't be disassembled or thrown away, have storyline significance or have specific functions.

Thx! .---------------------.------------------------------------------------------. | ANCIENT FRUIT | The fruit of an ancient plant that the Beeba tribe | | | grows in order to tame Wingapedes. After being sent | | | on the quest to defeat the six dragons, return to | | | Hydra Marshes (either world) and go to where the | | | Beeba tribe usually is. Either defeat some Beebas or | | | help rescue one; either way, Ancient Fruits will be | | | given to you. Unlike other key items, these get used | | | up in the round trip to Gaea's Navel, so stop by the | | | Beeba to get more. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | ANGRY SCAPULA | These shoulder blades obviously bore a lot of hatred | | | Perhaps the owner hated himself...while alive. This | | | can be found in Another World Shadow Forest, inside | | | the cave where the Aroma Pouch is found. Search the | | | tablet on the ground to find it. This bone fragment | | | is used to recruit Skelly later on. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | AROMA POUCH | When worn, it has the power to make seeds and fruit | | | cling to you upon examining plants. This is found in | | | Another World Shadow Forest, inside a cave, and used | | | if you are looking for Nikki. It has to be used if a | | | person wants the 'Skullduggery' textbox frame. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | ASTRAL AMULET | A small, star-colored talisman. With this, Serge can | | | use the dimensional vortex as Opassa Beach to travel | | | between worlds. It will always be received, but it's | | | used earlier if you choose to help Kid recover from | | | the Hydra Poison. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | BEEBA FLUTE | A mysterious flute handed down in the Beeba tribe. | | | It allows you to tame the wildest of Wingapedes! If | | | Serge has an Ancient Fruit key item as well, he can | | | blow this flute in the screen east of the H. Marshes | | | savepoint (1st) and ride an insect to Gaea's Navel. | | | Obtain it by defeating the Beeba 'tribe' in Home | | | World Hydra Marshes. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | BELLFLOWER | A blue blossom that only blooms in Fossil Valley. It | | | can be obtained in the upper region of the valley by | | | taking the ladder. This can be given to Glenn/Riddel | | | at Another World Termina later on if you choose, but | | | there seems to be no other effects. Hmm... | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | BIG EGG | A huge egg found in Fossil Valley. What kind of egg | | | it is remains yet unknown! Find this in the Another | | | World Fossil Valley by raiding a Dodo's nest. Later, | | | when you get to Home World Fort Dragonia, you can | | | use the incubators below the elevator to hatch the | | | character Draggy. ^_____________________________^ | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | BLACK RELIC | A special treasure received from the Black Dragon | | | God at Marbule. Defeat the Black Dragon (or if you | | | did not assist in the 'Save Marbule' quest, you can | | | simply pick it up without a fight) to get this item. | | | When all six relics are obtained, one can enter the | | | Sea of Eden. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | BOOK OF POEMS | Untitled. Looks like a cheap, hand-made book with a | | | simple decoration of grassy patterns. Later in the | | | game, this can be obtained from the waitress in Arni | | | [HW]. If you show it to her counterpart in the other | | | dimension, you can obtain a @Rainbow Shell component | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | CARD KEY | A security pass bulit with futuristic technology | | | that makes it impossible to duplicate. The 'chief' | | | ghost at Chronopolis drops this. Use it to proceed | | | to the B1 level of the elevator. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | CHRONO CROSS | The ultimate, long-lost Element of the seventh color | | | attribute. After obtaining the Tear of Hate and the | | | Tear of Love, as well as having completed the events | | | at the Sea of Eden, go to Divine Dragon Falls [AW]. | | | Put them on the two pedestals to create this item, | | | to refill used elements in battle as well as receive | | | the 'good ending' against the last boss. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | DRAGON EMBLEM | A traditional crest passed down the generations at | | | the Dragon Shrine. The design looks familiar... Show | | | the Tear of Hate to Shaman Direa at Guldove [AW] to | | | obtain. It's used to enter the other dimension's | | | tower, which will later allow one to recruit Steena | | | and get a fully-formed Dragon Tear. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | EINLANZER | The legendary sword Garai once wielded. It is the | | | only sword able to beat Masamune's evil power. This | | | is received at Garai's gravestone on Isle of the | | | Damned (Home World). Glenn can also equip it! | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | EXPLOSIVE | An explosive deviced used by excavation teams. | | | Handle with care! At Earth Dragon Isle [Home World], | | | jump into the quicksand and leap back out again via | | | the sandboil. The foreman will be amazed at how you | | | have aided their excavation and'll have a guy make a | | | batch of explosives for you. Re-enter the island and | | | go down the quicksand again; there'll be a guy who | | | will give some to you. Use them to blast rockroaches | | | into sandboils, which will help you get to the Earth | | | Dragon boss fight. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | DECOR SHIELD | A beautiful shield made completley for ornamental | | | purposes. Not of any use in real battle. This item's | | | found in the room next to Luccia's, the room that is | | | just full of traps...it seems. Pick it off the wall | | | and stick it in the shieldless suit of armor to do | | | battle with some Man-Of-Wars. This also disables the | | | annoying Gloops-fall-from-ceiling trap, too, IIRC. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | FIDDLER CRAB | A sculpture of a fiddler crab with a claw that | | | shines like a blue jewel. Said to be able to control | | | the tides. Obtained after defeating the Sage aboard | | | the S.S. Zelbess, and used to enter Death's Door at | | | the coast off Marbule's island. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | GARAI KEEPSAKE | Just an old mirror. Why it is said to be a memento | | | of Garai will never be known. Radius gives this to | | | the party after finding the Masamune at Death's Door | | | which prevents the party from passing. Use it to get | | | to Garai's grave on Isle of the Damned [Home World]. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | GOOD BACKBONE | A spine with good posture that must have come from a | | | grandma's loving training in another life. Pick this | | | item up at Hydra Marshes [Another World]. Past the | | | area's second savepoint is a large pond area with a | | | small cave. Search in there to find it, which helps | | | you along the road to recruiting Skelly. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | GREEN RELIC | A special treasure received from the Green Dragon | | | God at Gaea's Navel. Defeat the Green Dragon to snag | | | this item. When all six are collected, the way into | | | the Sea of Eden can be taken by Serge. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | GREEN TINKLER | Marsh plants react to the sound of this bell, | | | bending to open the way without you having to touch | | | them. When used by green, single-vine plants in the | | | Hydra Marshes, Serge can go deeper into the swamp... | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | HANDLE | A detachable crank-handle that serves as good proof | | | that the casino table is rigged. On the Zelbess, go | | | have Sneff turn everyone into cats. Above the inn, | | | take the magnetic handle. This will stop Fargo from | | | cheating and win your boat back, plus allow access | | | to the Grand Slam. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | HEAVY SKULL | A human skull painted with clown's makeup. It says | | | it searching for its body and lost memories. Picking | | | this item up is as simple as going to Another World | | | Fossil Valley and telling the guard you're the hired | | | exorcists. Talk to the skull and take it into your | | | fold when it asks. It's used to recruit Skelly later | | | on. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | HECKRAN BONE | The leg bone of a wild heckran. Perfect for making | | | stock to be used in soups and stews! At Home World | | | Arni Village, check below the bed in the cafe to get | | | this. Show it to Poshul and she'll join you. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | HYDRA HUMOUR | Refined from the body fluids of a hydra, this liquid | | | is the only known antidote for hydra poison. This is | | | obtained only if you choose to help Kid recover from | | | her poison, and defeat the Hydra. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | ICE BREATH | The cold breath of the Water Dragon has the power to | | | freeze even piping-hot magma. This _can_ be received | | | at Water Dragon Isle [Another World] after doing the | | | events on the S.S. Invincible but before arriving at | | | Ft. Dragonia. If used in Mt. Pyre, it can freeze the | | | lava and prevent field damage; if used at Hermit's | | | Hideaway [Another World] to cool the burned patch of | | | vegetation, Poshul can dig up Turnip in the opposite | | | dimension. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | ICE GUN | A quick-freeze gun Lucca made so baby-sitters could | | | fight fires. =Keep out of reach of children!= This | | | is found in Lucca's Orphanage when Serge infiltrates | | | w/ the Mastermune/ChronoCross. It can put out fires, | | | and can double as the Ice Breath key item, if you do | | | not have the means to get Turnip. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | KOMODO SCALE | The colorful scale of a large lizard used to make | | | the necklaces that are all the rage in Arni Village. | | | In Home World Arni Village, talk to the fisherman by | | | the sawfish and agree to whatever he says. He'll put | | | this in Serge's pocket, who can in turn trade it to | | | a kid standing nearby for an Uplift element. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | LIFE SPARKLE | A botanical energy that will give life to NeoFio -- | | | a man-made, half-human, half-plant lifeform. Pick it | | | up at Hydra Marshes [Another] in the pond where the | | | Hydra would normally be. You'll have to defeat some | | | grunts to get it. Later, go up to the Viper Manor | | | [Another] rooftop terrace and use it on the plant in | | | the pond to recruit NeoFio. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | MANOR KEY | The key to the front door of Viper Manor borrowed | | | from the old stableman. Bears Viper's insignia. This | | | has to be obtained in the stables by completing a | | | round of the feed-the-dragons minigame. Use it to go | | | into the manor's front door. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | MEDICAL BOOK | ="Cray's Anatomy"= Revealing the wonders of the | | | human body. (Rated R.) Find this book past the Tower | | | of Geddon's subway station. It can be used to teach | | | Doc his Lv. 7 Tech. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | MEMENTOPENDANT | A beautiful, intricately-made pendant that once | | | belonged to Dario's mother. This is obtained via the | | | Isle of the Damned sidequest regarding Karsh. It'll | | | also be needed to get the Mastermune in _its_ quest. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | MIXED BONES | It is impossible to tell which bone is which. You'll | | | just have to try putting them together in some sort | | | of order. Visit Isle of the Damned [Another] and go | | | raid the NW cave in the first screen to find these | | | things. They're used to recruit Skelly later on, or | | | as soon as you get 'em, since they're the last ones | | | needed if you've been diligent. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | MUSHROOM | An expensive delicacy found only in the Guardia | | | region. It's sort of like truffles without the | | | chocolate. At Shadow Forest [Home World], go up the | | | river until you find a Wraith in front of a hole. Do | | | battle and defeat it; a man will come out of a hole | | | and give you the item. Give it to the man camping in | | | the cave three screens back to recruit Funguy! | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | PARLOR KEY | A key to the parlor of Viper Manor that was found in | | | the manor prison. Probably hidden by a lazy guard. | | | After completing the Viper Manor infiltration events | | | and returning to the mainland, go to the jail block | | | and search a bucket for this key. It allows one to | | | enter the ground-floor parlor to get a Daemon Charm. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | PELVIC BONE | Even from the pelvis, you can see this person had | | | good posture. It is important to have good posture! | | | When you first get to Guldove [Another World], talk | | | with the element trader person near the dock; she'll | | | want to unload this on you. This is part of Skelly's | | | quest to get his body back. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | PRISON KEY | A key that opens the dungeon-like prison beneath | | | Viper Manor. Given to Lynx's team by Norris, who is | | | eager to help them 'behind the scenes.' | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | PROP SWORD | A sword stage-prop found in the ruins of a theater. | | | In the Tower of Geddon, simply pluck it from a stage | | | on the highest floor. It's will change to the Hero's | | | Sword if you show it to Pierre, who will also learn | | | his Lv. 7 Tech. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | RED RELIC | A special treasure received from the Red Dragon God | | | at Mount Pyre. Defeat the Red Dragon to obtain this | | | item. When all six relics've been collected, entry's | | | given to the Sea of Eden. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | RELIEF CHARM | No need to participate in battle when friends can | | | fight for you! This allows someone to take Serge's | | | place in fighting battles. Automatically obtained on | | | a New Game Plus. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | SAFETY GEAR | Poison-resistant clothing that an exploration party | | | had spare to lend to amateur adventurers. This will | | | prevent poisonous field damage at the Hydra Marshes | | | [Another World] when you walk around. Obtain it from | | | an explorer past the western save point. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | SAPPHIREBROOCH | A brooch that has a blue stone, which appears to | | | have been broken in two, set inside of it. As Lynx, | | | go to Guldove [Another World] and fight Orlha. She | | | will give you this brooch as proof he's really Serge | | | on the inside. After events at Fort Dragonia [Home | | | World], show it to her and get her to join. This is | | | also used to get a Blue Brooch later on. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | SHARK TOOTH | An amulet Kiki's father made from a lion shark tooth | | | ten years ago, when he decided to be a fisherman. It | | | allows Serge to recruit Mojo in Another World Arni. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | SMITH SPIRIT | Wherever there's a customer, a blacksmith will be | | | there! Just summon the master smith's spirit... This | | | allows one to 'visit a forge' at save points and on | | | the world map. It's obtained automatically if Zappa | | | invited. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | STAR FRAGMENT | It looks just like an ordinary starfish, but is said | | | to have a secret power. This can be found in El Nido | | | Triangle [Home World]. Equipping it will prevent all | | | of the following: flu, sprain, burns, poison. It is | | | also used as a way to invite Starky into the party. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | STATION PASS | At Tower of Geddon, enter the subway system on the | | | 2nd level of the mall. Talk to one of the 'ghosts' | | | until it goes up through the turnstiles. It leaves a | | | pass behind on the ground. Use it to get a few other | | | items up the screen, including the Medical Book that | | | teaches Doc his Lv. 7 Tech. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | TEAR OF HATE | A shard of the shattered Dragon Tear. Karsh'll give | | | it over when you talk to him in the Termina Bar [HW] | | | secret room. Later, show this to Oracle Direa at the | | | shaman tower in Guldove [HW] to obtain the Dragon | | | Emblem. Even LATER, this can be used to obtain the | | | ChronoCross element. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | TEAR OF LOVE | A shard of the shattered Dragon Tear. This will be | | | received automatically after events at Fort Dragonia | | | [Home World]. Use it with the Tear of Hate later on | | | at Divine Dragon Falls [AW] to get the ChronoCross | | | element. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | TELE-PORTER | Lets you change party members on the world map or | | | when standing in reach of Records of Fate. Kid will | | | give this to the party when she joins. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | TIME EGG | A legendary item that is a complete enigma. It is | | | believed to break the bonds of time. Obtain this at | | | Terra Tower after defeating the..."TD". Use it when | | | at Opassa Beach [Home World] to fight the very last | | | boss in the game. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | TIME SHIFTER | Controls the flow of time. R2 = Fast Forward, L2 = | | | Slow Motion. Automatically received on a New Game | | | Plus. You can use it to speed up battle animations, | | | walking around the field; but no FMV cutscenes. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | WHITE RELIC | A special treasure received from the White Dragon | | | God at Sky Dragon Isle. Defeat the Sky Dragon at the | | | said isle [Another World] to obtain. When all six of | | | the relics are completed, entry to the Sea of Eden's | | | possible. | |---------------------+------------------------------------------------------| | YELLOW RELIC | A special treasure received from the Yellow Dragon | | | God at Earth Dragon Isle. Defeat the Earth Dragon to | | | obtain this item. When all six relics have been | | | collected, Serge can enter the Sea of Eden. | '---------------------|___________________________________________-----------' E-mail me if I've forgotten any! _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― THE BEND OF TIME [TBOT] _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― End of Time with a twist? Hmm... The Bend of Time first becomes available after getting the Porre boat in Home World Termina. It's a small unmarked island between the main human-populated El Nido island and Marbule. Once you enter with the x-button, it will show up as such (in both worlds). --- As the jelly-blob octopus monster standing inside will say, this is an arena where monsters from across dimensions can gather to fight...meaning it's the place to be for collecting Sprigg's Dopplegangs, getting rare drops and such, as well as an easy outlet to using summons. Monsters show up inside the light pillars infinitely, and they all come from different regions of the game. At first there is only a few pillars of light to represent the areas Serge has traveled, but eventually, all eight will be represented. There's not much to say on the subject, besides enemies that are missed can still show up here. To Special Battle /\ Now, for the special battle info. '-/\/ 4\ There is a backdoor to this place \ 3\ that will always be locked on the 1st / 2\ runthrough of the game. Try to enter / 1\ it, and the octopus-thing will say it \8 / isn't time 'yet.' What's he refering \7 /'- Save to, then? \6 \_ \5 /\/ '-Enter The answer is that it only unlocks on \/ a 'New Game Plus,' and allows access to three of the game's special foes that can be Doppleganged, as well as one of the best accessories in the game, the "Dreamer's Sarong." When the time comes to open the door (which is anytime on a NG+), enter inside. The orange octopus-monster wants everyone to do three laps around the room. Start at the entrance and run around the railing as well as you can; do it right and a 'ding!' sound will play. After three, the octo- -blob disappears and is replaced by the three goons from Chrono Trigger. Heya, fellas! .-----------------------------. | BATTLE SPOILS (Common/Rare) | .-----------------.----------------.----------+-----------------------------| | BOSS: Flea | INNATE: Red | HP: 1200 | Dreamer's Sash (100%) | | BOSS: Ozzie | INNATE: Green | HP: 2000 | Ozzie Pants (100%) | | BOSS: Slash | INNATE: Blue | HP: 1900 | Slasher, Third Eye | |-----------------'----------------'----------'-----------------------------| | ELEMENTS: Volcano, Tornado, Iceberg | | TO STEAL: Flea = Winged Shoes / Flea Vest | | Ozzie = Antidote / Tornado | | Slash = Iceberg | | SPECIALS: OmegaRed (red-innate damage to one ally) | | WindSlash (blue-innate damage on one ally) | | DashSlash (blue-innate damage to one ally) | | OmegaBlue (blue-innate damage to one ally) | | OmegaBlack (black-innate damage on one ally) | | OmegaGreen (green-innate damage to one ally) | | OmegaWhite (white-innate damage to one ally) | | OmegaYellow (yellow-innate damage to one ally) | | TheStare (red-innate damage on all allies + Confused) | | MaxDefense (green-innate; bosses're 'Asleep', can't be damaged) | | PATTERNS: (Flea ) TheStare to Attack Χ2 to Volcano to Attack Χ2 to | | OmegaRed to OmegaYellow (Χ??) | | [2] (Flea ) (TheStare) -> (Attack) -> (Volcano) -> (Attack) -> | | (OmegaRed) -> OmegaYellow -> [To Pattern #1] | | (Ozzie) Attack to MaxDefense to Attack to OmegaGreen to Tornado | | to Attack to OmegaBlack (Χ??) | | [2] (Ozzie) [Pattern #1] -> MaxDefense -> Attack -> MaxDefense -> | | Attack -> [To Patterh #1] | | (Slash) Attack to WindSlash to Attack to DashSlash to OmegaBlue | | to Iceberg to OmegaWhite to Attack (Χ??) | | [2] (Slash) (WindSlash) -> (DashSlash) -> (OmegaBlue) -> (Iceberg) | | -> OmegaWhite -> [To Pattern #1] | |___________________________________________________________________________| First things first: use Fargo to steal the Flea Vest, since it's the only one in the game. After that, dig into the actual fighting. Flea should bite the big one first since he (yes, 'he') uses TheStare to confuse everyone. Powerful physical attacks slice him up pretty well, especially with everyone having bolstered ATK on a NG+. Ozzie's next up if you want, mostly because 'MaxDefense' prevents all damage and puts his allies to sleep as well. It's vexing, but only wears off after repeated (failed) attacking. He's also VERY slow, getting in one attack to his friends' three, so it's not much of a challenge to be honest. Slash's physical attacks and techs will suck...it doesn't get much simpler than that. Still, use Diminish if you're having a difficult time -- it's a lifesaver wherever you go! Most can be inflicted with status effects (Fatigued, etc.) but they'll absorb their own element, so don't be too reckless and heal 'em in the meantime. When each is in critical, they'll finish out the rest of their attack pattern with a bit of streamlining -- Slash quits using regular attacks, Flea bumps his Attack Χ2's down to singulars, and Ozzie uses an extra MaxDefense (although the effects do not overlap). Note that each time you flee battle, you will have to run the three laps again. That would seem very annoying, but with the Time Shifter, it's not a problem. Make sure you don't defeat any with summons, or you'll miss the drops and get shiny items; and, make sure you've got a Forget-me-not Pot to get these guys Dopplegang'd, dude! It's also a good idea to restart if you don't get the Ozzie Pants and Slasher drops -- they're unique accessories. After defeating the 'Mystic Knights,' the orange octopus-thing will want you to run some more laps. If you run the exact number of times it has in its head, it will give the [DREAMER'S SARONG] over. It'll give three hints as to the right amount (in a hot/cold way) and the fourth time will the be the do- -or-die moment. If you get it wrong, no biggie; just re-enter and try once again. The number it thinks of will be less than 20 each time and randomized, but when it says "Whoa! Almost!" it means you're very close, within 2~3 about. The Dreamer's Sarong starts a character off with a full element grid when the battle begins, meaning any element is immediately usable. Very nice for the last battle's ChronoCross input method. _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― DOPPLEGANGS [DPPL] _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Dopplegangs are transformations that Sprigg can do with her Lv. 5 technique 'Dopplegang.' This allows her to transform into enemies that have (1) been set as default ones (2) been killed by her personally (3) been killed by any ally with a Forget-me-not Pot equipped. Dopplegangs will always take on the HP of Sprigg's current state and her Lv. 5 Tech will become a Lv. 1 tech on the monster's grid. Because this always happens, it's not noted on the grid structures below. Note that some enemies cannot be 'memorized,' like bosses and some specialty enemies, and that not all their attacks translate 100%. For instance, normal BeachBums can use the 'Surf'sUp' tech to summon other similar allies into the battle; Doppleganged ones cannot. Anyway, here are all of the enemies that can be transformed and where one can find them. A few notes about the following: • Grid levels that have no elements in it are omitted • The order of element listing per level is top -> bottom (if you care) • [H] stands for Home World; [A] stands for Another World. • Most of these monsters can be found at the Bend of Time, just so y'know. .----------. | BeachBum |--------------------------------------.---------------------------.

Finding them isn't usually as easy as opening a treasure chest, and most are missable if you're not keepin' your eyes peeled. Here's a list of where to get them (chronological order). [HW] stands for Home World and [AW] stands for Another World. #01 - This is the first event you can do, but it becomes unavailable later in the game (post-Tower of Geddon). After finishing the mandatory events in Guldove [AW], return to Arni and talk with the waitress at the cafe. Go ahead and use the Astral Amulet at Opassa Beach to find the Home World again, and visit the Arni cafe there. Talk to the waitress here and receive a [BOOK OF POEMS] to show the waitress in the other world. Get back to Arni [AW] and show the book to the un-idealistic waitress and receive a Rainbow Shell in the end...! #02 - Dropped rarely by WightKnight enemy on Isle of the Damned [HW]. Find this enemy in the screen before Garai's grave by luring a WillO'Wisp down to the old suit of armor, then killing said enemy. The flame'll possess the equipment and the enemy will appear. #03 - A @Rainbow Shell can be won as the best prize from the spinner game in the Zelbess' casino [AW]. There is a foolproof trick to getting through, however. Pause the game until the spinner's tip falls in between the south and west markers; unpause and quickly stop the spinner to hit north each time. #04 - There's one in the itemseller's cart in Arni Village [AW]. When you first try to dig into her stash early in the game, she rebuffs Serge and says it's not for sale. Later, after events at Tower of Geddon, everyone will be hiding at the chief's pad. Pocket it at this point. #05 - At Termina's bridge [AW], there's a viper churro salesman. When you first get to town, he hasn't set up; after the Viper Manor events, he'll want some feedback on his wares' price. Set the bar lower to about the 60-50g range. Later in the game, after events at the Tower of Geddon, he'll give you one for free...and it will have a Rainbow Shell inside! How 'bout that? This can be obtained after Tower of Geddon events. #06 - At Earth Dragon Isle [HW], after you jump into the quicksand pit and leave via the sandboil, talk with the foreman once again to be given a Rainbow Shell. #07 - Steal one from Criosphinx, a boss located at Earth Dragon Isle [AW]. It's the only item that can be stolen. #08 - Steal one from Dark Serge, a boss located at Fort Dragonia [HW]. Rack this one up as a rare steal, which will probably annoy you quite a lot if you absolutely gotta have it. =/ #09 - Water Dragon Isle [HW]. The researcher who gave a piece of Skelly can give this over, assuming Serge has completed events at Fort Dragonia [HW]. #10 - PolisPolice, a boss located at Time Fortress Chronopolis [HW], carries a shell as a rare steal. #11 - On Chronopolis' third floor, take the left door from the elevator's lobby. In a small backroom there's a chest containing the prize. #12 - After obtaining the ChronoCross (or Mastermune), find Kid at Hermit's Hideaway [AW] and be sent back in time to her orphanage. In the first room, rescue the kid behind the clock and talk to him again to receive this gift. #13 - In the same orphanage as #10, find the girl hiding under the bed on the second floor, in the same room as the removable floor panel. She bestows the 'shell on Serge after the room's cleared of Lava-boys. #14 - Once the orphanage flashback is completed, Radius tells Kid Luccia at Viper Manor [AW] wanted to talk to her. Go there with Kid in the party to read a letter "Sis" left her, containing a Rainbow Shell! #15 - After events at Time Fortress Chronopolis, El Nido Triangle [AW] will be accessible. One's in a first-screen chest. #16 - In the same location as #15, just in the 2nd screen with the UFO. #17 - After winding through Terra Tower [AW] a bit, a multi-ledge area with waterfalls and TerraTerrors will have to be climbed. In a niche here, there's a shell. #18 - Further on in Terra Tower [AW], defeat Pyrotor and continue into the next area where some Cupoids roam. There's a chest with a shell to be found here. #19 - The screen right after #16 has TerraTerrors walking along a broken sluiceway/canal area. Along the eastern wall, at the very northern point, is a shell. You can also find two spectral weapons per playthrough that have a Rainbow Shell inside, being the Betta Carotene for Janice, and a Spectral Glove for fist-fighters. Both are missable as they're found in Terra Tower. Many people like to disassemble the carrot weapon for the raw elements because they also come with one of each shiny material! That makes a total of 20 possible ways to get @Rainbow Shell components that I can see. E-mail me if I've forgotten anything! _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― VI. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [FAQZ] _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― [Q] - Guile = Magus? [A] - No. [Q] - Glenn = Frog? [A] - No. [Q] - Do I need to play Chrono Trigger / Radical Dreamers first? [A] - No, but if you can, you should. It'll help some references unravel a bit better. That said, Cross functions pretty well as a standalone game; you can learn some things from those others but it ain't mandatory. There is a translated Radical Dreamers rom around that you can use (don't ask me for it or I'll make Poshul eat your face). [Q] - I ran away from Mama Komodo and now I can't find her again! [Q] - I ran away from the FireDragon and now I can't find him again! [A] - Re-enter the screen. [Q] - One of your strategies is wrong! [A] - Probably, since I can't see the battle mechanics. They're just reference material, though -- don't expect 'em to be 100% correct all the time. If you found a crucial detail that I missed, and it can be substantiated, I will definitely include it in the strategy. Just match it to my format & such. Remember: strategies that come from NG+ saves won't be accepted, as they may be inherently different! [Q] - Does Taurusoid use Tornado? [A] - No, it doesn't ever use it. [Q] - I got my Lv7 tech but it disappeared!? Where is it? [A] - Final techs received by means other than leveling-up have to be EQUIPPED manually. Some people, like Steena, have this apply to their others as well. When in doubt, search the inventory. [Q] - I'm playing this game on a PSP emulator. Is there a save prompt at the end of Disc 1? [A] - Nope. [Q] - When can I enter The Bend of Time? [A] - After getting the Porre boat in Home World. [Q] - I'm on the S.S. Invincible and my boat is gone! I can't leave! [A] - Talk to a pirate on the topdeck to automatically leave on the boat. [Q] - When I use FlyingArrow, there's a big pig that appears. What is it? [A] - Its Masa and Mune's combined form, which only shows if the Mastermune is equipped. You need to play Chrono Trigger to get the reference. If you use the skill with any other swallow upgrade, it won't show it. [Q] - What does enemy gender signify? [A] - Mostly attack pattern changes and different HP values. [Q] - If a ____ Plate absorbs an attack, are any status inflictions nulled? [A] - No. Even if an attack heals a character, s/he may still suffer after effects if there are any. [Q] - What's the name of the ending song if you fight the T.D. correctly? [A] - Radical Dreamers -Le Trιsor Interdit-, although you may find it labeled as "Radical Dreamers ~ The Unstolen Jewel." [Q] - Hey, why don't I start with the Mastermune!? [A] - Because the Mastermune is the upgraded Sea Swallow, and is part of the storyline to boot. [Q] - How do I get Glenn's twin Einlanzers? [A] - After defeating Dario and getting the Mastermune, take Glenn to Another World Termina and go down to the shrines. Inspect the Einlanzer stuck in the dirt and Glenn will succeed the Einlanzer and be able to double-wield the things. He can only do this with the Einlanzer, which, when equipped, will show two swords on the status screen. You can do this any time after getting Serge's real form back at Fort Dragonia [Home World]. [Q] - I got into the secret room at The Bend of Time but when I do a full circle, he tells me I'm doing it incorrectly! [A] - You're either cutting across or going counterclockwise, both of which're wrong. [Q] - What do the Pendragon Sigils do? [A] - They give an automatic 'Turn_____' effect when hit by an enemy's element, thus strengthening them from those types temporarily, and a damage boost of sorts. The Pendragon Sigil C seems to work just as well as the Sigil A here for some reason (screwup?). _______________________________________________________________________________ ――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― VII.
