Introduction 2.) Legal Stuff 3.) Telepath Tower Info 4.) Tower Locations 5.) Telepath Towers 6.) Credits/Thanks =================== 1.) Introduction =================== Howdy and welcome to my Telepath Tower FAQ for Wild ARMs 3. While playing through the game, and while doing the Telepath Tower sidequest, I figured why not make a guide for them since there isn't one already up, and I figure it'll help anyone looking for the towers, so here I am. =================== 2.)

Telepath Tower Info ======================= The Telepath Towers in Wild ARMs 3 are a sidequest just like the Millenium Puzzles, only the Towers aren't puzzles, but rather fights. You'll fight three towers at a time and each tower comes with a different status effect for each fight. For example, the first set of Towers use Amnesia, whereas the second batch of Towers use Disease and so on. The later towers use multiple status effects. In order to start this sidequest, you need to talk with Roswell in Laxisland after getting Lombardia. ASK him about the towers when the green text pops up and he'll give you the location of the first tower. After that, you can kill them in any order as you wish. =================== 4.) Tower Locations =================== Obviously, this section will point out which directions all the Towers are in. # Location - -------- 1 Southwest of Laxisland 2 South of Yggdrasil 3 Northeast of World's Footprint 4 West of Unclean Mark 5 Northwest of Yggdrasil (on a nearby continent) 6 Northwest of Ka Dingel 7 South of Humphrey's Peak 8 East of Ballack Rise 9 South of Little Rock 10 Southwest of Demondar Pillar-Rear 11 West of Boot Hill (Must use Lombardia to destroy a rock) 12 Across a rift on the same continent as Gunner's Heaven 13 South of the Dim Root Path 14 Fly over the nearby cliff with Lombardia near Jolly Roger and destroy the rock 15 Northwest of Sunset Peak across a rift 00 Dune across Boot Hill (All other towers must be defeated first) =================== 5.) Telepath Towers =================== This section will list the towers themselves and what status effects they carry. Each battle contains three towers. I won't give indepth strategies as all you really need is the appropriate Wards for these fights. Of course, you CAN use Extension + Status Lock, then Extension + Permanance, but that's no fun and you miss out on some extra experience. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #1 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Amnesia | *--------*------------* You'll want Memo Pens for this fight, but at this point of the game you should have plenty of them. However, if you need them, use Pickpocket on Marids at the Lunatic Garden. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #2 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Disease | *--------*------------* Disease isn't really that deadly and since their Hyperion rays don't do a lot of damage, it isn't a threat at all. If you need Hazel Sprigs, you can steal some from Axe Beaks around Little Twister. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #3 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Poison | *--------*------------* This is the first pain in the ass tower since Poison has the capability of killing you off real fast if you're not careful. However, you should have plenty of Moonstones by this point of the game. If you need any, you can steal some from Rat Monkeys in the Decaying Labyrinth if you've done that sidequest. If not, you can steal them from Gorgs at the Caging Tower. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #4 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Sleep | *--------*------------* Sleep isn't too dangerous, but it can get nasty if no one has protection against sleep, which shouldn't be possible since the Moon Spark Medium comes with a Sleep Ward. If you need Alarm Clocks, you can steal them from Mushussu in the Nidhogg Pass. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #5 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Misery | *--------*------------* Misery isn't all that deadly since it only locks your Arcana and special skills, and since their Hyperions don't do much damage, it shouldn't be a threat. If you need Heart Leaves, you can get them as an item drop from Twin Tails around Humphrey's Peak. After you destroy five towers, you'll get into a different kind of battle. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Creeping Chaos | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | 30000 | Several | *--------*------------* The Creeping Chaos is a nasty little bugger. He's weak in general, but his ability to cast several status effects on you may wind up killing you if you don't have the correct wards on. Here are the status effects he'll cast upon you if he uses Arc-en-Ciel: -Poison -Disease -Misery -Confusion -Paralysis -Sleep -Amnesia As you can tell, Poison and Confusion are the real killers here. However, the bright spot in this fight is that if you have a few wards equipped, you can get 9.9x extra experience in this battle. He has two other attacks as well. Direct Voice causes Confusion on one target, and Human Experimentation does little damage but causes Poison, Disease, and Paralysis. As long as you can shield yourself from at least Poison, Confusion, Paralysis, and Amnesia, this fight is rather easy. After defeating him, Creeping Chaos will appear as random encounters on the world map only. I'd suggest fighting them on horseback since you can't be inflicted with Paralysis and Sleep while on them. You can also fight three at once, which give 30,000 Exp total, and if you can rack up Chains with your status wards, you can get up to nearly 300,000 Exp, meaning a guaranteed level up if you're below level 80. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #6 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Paralysis | *--------*------------* Paralysis is more annoying than deadly, but it usually wears off in about 3-5 turns. If you need any Blue Bracers, you can steal some from Cockatrices in Yggdrasil. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #7 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Glass | *--------*------------* Glass is no fun at all. If a character turns into Glass, they're out of the fight until you cure it with a restoration item. If someone gets hit while they have Glass inflicted upon them, they'll be instantly KO'd. If you need any Soul Feathers, you can steal some from Nybbas in the Caging Tower. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #8 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Confusion | *--------*------------* This is probably one of the worst towers you'll encounter first if you're doing them in order. Confusion is a nasty status effect and you'll want to cure it ASAP, even if it means using Mystic with a Pinwheel with Virginia. If you need any Clear Chimes, you can steal them from Myconids in the Ruins of Dreams. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #9 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Bronze | *--------*------------* Bronze is more annoying than it is deadly. If someone is inflicted with Bronze, they'll ALWAYS act last until it's cured. There's a timer above the character inflicted with Bronze, but since you have 5 turns to get rid of it, it shouldn't pose as a problem. If you need any Holy Ankhs, you can get them as an item drop from Unknowns in the Faraway Lands. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #10 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Death | *--------*------------* This is the worst batch of towers with only a single status effect. As the name says, Death will inflict instant death upon a character. Thankfully it's only one character and it doesn't seem to hit that much, but you'll need a bunch of Revive Fruits if you don't have that many Fallen Wards. If you need Holy Grails, you can get one from Millenium Puzzle #5 or steal them from Masa Gnomes around Laxisland. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #11 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Amnesia | | ---- | Disease | *--------*------------* This is the first set of multi effect towers. Luckily for you, the status effects they use aren't deadly at all, but since they give decent exp, Amnesia might pose as a problem. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #12 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Sleep | | ---- | Poison | *--------*------------* A deadly combination. If you're unprotected by both of these, you may find yourself in a huge amount of trouble real fast. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #13 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Misery | | ---- | Paralysis | *--------*------------* Nothing too bad here, but the Paralysis can prove to be an annoyance, so try to have as many Blue Bracers equipped as possible. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #14 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Amnesia | | ---- | Poison | | ---- | Misery | | ---- | Disease | *--------*------------* The only real dangerous part of this fight is the Poison status effect. As long as you have at least Poison wards, this fight should be no problem. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #15 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | Death | | ---- | Confusion | | ---- | Bronze | | ---- | Sleep | | ---- | Paralysis | *--------*------------* The second deadliest tower there is. For this one, I'd recommend using Extension + Status Lock/Permanance as all those stats are a pain in the ass. Sadly, Status Lock doesn't block out Fallen, so you'll need to have a few Holy Grails equipped. ______ / BOSS \ +------+--------------+ | Telepath Tower #00 | +--------*------------* | HP | Status | +--------+------------* | ???? | All | *--------*------------* You read that right. This Telepath Tower has ALL the status effects in the game to throw at you, so Extension + Status Lock is pretty much your best option, but make sure to have a few Holy Grails equipped for Fallen. After you destroy all the towers, you need to fight some UFOs in the dunes in your sandcraft. After you defeat enough of them, use Lombardia and blow the rest out of the sky. You'll then be able to fight the mothership. IF YOU WISH TO GAIN QUICK LEVELS, DO NOT DESTROY THE MOTHERSHIP. If you do, you won't be able to encounter any Creeping Chaos's anymore. =================== 6.)
