Hey your guide sucks. A. Well, this is my first time making one so I expect to get this kind of feedbacks. Q. How can I start the Futon Dog Quest? A. To start the quest, you need a special item <Futonslator> from Irving inside the PMB Headquarters. In order to get it, make sure that you ALWAYS speak with him every time you spotted a futon dog during your journey. When the above requirement is fulfilled, you will get the Futonslator from him after Mission 23 is completed. Once you have the Futonslator, you can start the Futon Dog Quest. To start the Futon Dog Quest you need to speak with the Futon Dog in Totuwa by using the Futonslator. The quest requires you to gather all six Futon Dogs and drag them back to Totuwa. To gather a futon dog, you have to approach it and use the Futonslator. You can only carry one futon dog at a time and you have to drag it all the way back Totuwa by walking. According to paul holzman, Gmaverick03 and KFCrispy, you can use the Steed Express for the futon dogs. Also, make sure that you show at least one futon dog to Irving (Credit goes to Mystery_Origin for telling me this) before you dump them to Totuwa to get another outfit for Korin later. Three futon dogs can be acquired now, so start gathering. Each futon dog is located in... 1. Liana - Felmentia. Second screen above the stairs to the west. 2. Santos - Juwaina Jungle 3. Tarran - Toadhenge (the one with the Frogshaped rock in it) Once you reach Toadhenge, zoom your camera northwest until you see the futon dog. Exit this place and head all the way to the west and then go north to the next screen. In this area, go east and approach the futon dog. After the scene, go back to the previous screen and head north to the next screen. Go southeast and enter the Underground Ruins. You�ve been here before, so go to where the save point is located to find him. 4. Kyr - After mission 25 is completed, go southeast from Zerdok entrance. 5. Masonite - After mission 28 is completed, go to Zaramba and search south behind the bushes. 6. Soleil - Jaergen Village, Fanille�s house. Q. How do I know that I spotted every futon dog during my journey? A. You can spot the first dog by going southeast from Zerdok entrance. The second dog can be spotted in Felmentia at the first screen, you just need to see it, and then report it back to Irving. Later after your quest in Totuwa, that dog will move to the second screen where you can talk to it. The third dog can be spotted in Totuwa by talking to it. The fourth dog can be spotted outside Totuwa. The Fifth dog can be spotted south of Zaramba hiding behind the bushes after your quest in Totuwa, and the sixth dog can be spotted in Juwaina Jungle by going southwest twice from the entrance. You don't need to search every dog I mentioned, spotting three dogs is enough to get you the Futonslator from Irving. Q. Do I really need to do the Ultimate Weapons/Armors quest to finish the game? A. Not really, you can finish the game without them. Q. How do I score the highest dmg in both Hard Hitter Match and Spell Slinger Match in the Colosseum? A. There�s a lot of ways to score the highest dmg in Hard Hitter Match. Here is my strategy... 704 ATK + Lv9 Attack Up + Lv9 Atrophy + Lv9 Berserk + Lv9 Inferno + Lv9 Critical Rate Up + Adamant Lance + M2 Amulet + M2 Amulet = 999dmg My advise to you is to get the two M2 Amulets first before you do this. The M2 amulet can be won in the colosseum. I also recommend to raise your attack by using Life Apples. Life Apples can be dropped by enemies, can be bought in the secret dungeon, and can be won as a price in the colosseum. Lv9 Inferno can be gotten to other characters if they have their ultimate weapon (Fanille has one). You need to use a Transfer Charm (can be bought at the item shop in the PMB Headquarters) to transfer it to Haschen. If you don�t have one, then you can change Inferno for Fierce Strike. However, you need to raise your attack stat more. nonamyforme�s Strategy: well first thing I did was get my attack to 540 using life apples(may or may not matter)next I bought two 25% increase to attack accessorys (wisdom blade effect weapon)Casted attack up on my self before entering hard hitter and used fierce strike and hit any where between 850-970 There�s a lot of ways to score the highest dmg in Spell Slinger Match. Here is my strategy... 542 INT + Lv9 Cycle Up (already casted before entering the match)+ Lv9 Spirit Aid + Lv9 Quick Cast + Lv9 Magic Up + Lv9 Thunderstorm + M2 Amulet + M2 Amulet = 636 dmg Use the same strategy for beating Hard Hitter. Some of these skills can be gotten from your party members. nonamyforme�s Strategy: required 2x m2 amulets and magic up knack I did this with the spell super sonic or what ever its called and magic up level 5 waited till it reached cast level 5 and let it go for 604 Damage KFCrispy's Strategy: I was able to complete it with only 310 INT, along with 2 Intelligent Up EX, Cycle Up lvl 9, and Super Sonic lvl 9. Cast Cycle Up lvl 9 before you enter then just get in range for Super Sonic lvl 9. You might want Quick Cast lvl 9 to finish in time, as I had it and there was some time left when I finished....this method requires no M2 Amulets whatsoever. I have yet to acquire an M2 :) This let me do 644 dmg. Q. How come I can't get the ultimate armor for Haschen? I won the Fairy Contest. A. If you can�t get it, then you need to change your personality by talking to the Juju lady in Warslee Village using Incenses that can be bought in Zerdok or Oils that can be bought in Juwaina Village. Morals (Grapefruit Incence) - Make it better - Make it worse Self Confidence (Clary Sage Incense) - Be more confident - Be less confident General Attitude (Rosemary Incense) - Be more intelligent - Be less intelligent Kindness (Mint Oil) - Be kinder to people - Be colder to people Meekness (Sweet Orange Oil) - Be more good hearted - Be more calculating Composure (Lavender Incense) - Be more collected - Be more emotional Initiative (Tarragon Incense) - Be more aggressive - Be less aggressive Attitude towards men (Cedarwood Incense) - Be attracted to men - Dislike men Attitude towards women (Rose Geranium Oil) - Be attracted to women - Dislike women Q.
