There are three kinds of menus, Main Menu, Battle Menu, Shop Menu. In each type of menu there are submenus as well. ========= Main Menu ========= The Main Menu is accessed by pressing triangle on the field, within you will see 9 submenus. The current active battle party is displayed at the center of the main menu, next to that is the current party's SP acquired and total VP each character has. Below that is the Total Play Time, Total amount of TB, Current Location, and Objective. To the left you will see these submenus: Edit Party Character Parameter Skills Item Information Save Load System ========== Edit Party ========== This allows you to change the active battle party ========= Character ========= Selecting character will pull up another submenu, which will allow you to view each character's Status, Weapon, and Bio. The submenu looks like this: Status Weapon Character Bio ============== Status Submenu ============== This will show you character details I will use Atsuma as an example, its set up like this: Weapon (F)Atsuma Bone Knuckle HP 71 EP 85 Until Next Level Status Exp 78 LV 3 SP 533 FP 238 VP 100/100 Type Main Party Support Skill EX O DR Blow PP: 40 EP: 8 F DR Flare Rush PP: 60 EP: 35 If you hit confirm more information will show up: Total Battles Total Wins Direct 92 Ranged 58 Support 59 Agility 78 Size 1 Move Range 2 Status Submenu Descriptions: Element: Character's elemental affinity, [F]Fire, [WT]Water, [WI]Wind, [E]Earth, [LI]Light, [D]Dark, [O]None Exp: Amount of EXP points left before the character levels up. SP: Total SP character has accrued. SP is used to increase parameters and learn new skills. HP: Total amount of Hit Points character has, when HP is depleted to zero in battle the character becomes unconscious. HP can be restored via Skills and Items. EP: Total amount Ether Points character has, EP is consumed when a character uses Skills, if they have no EP they cannot perform any actions. EP is restored via Items. LV: Character's current level. FP: Total amount Friend Points the character has, affects the Combo Gauge. FP is increased by participating in battle and using certain items. Max amount is 999. VP: Vitality Points these are essentially the endurance of the character. When the character depletes their VP to 0 their HP and EP is reduced to 1. VP is depleted several different ways: -Number of times attacked -Number of times three turns has elapsed -Number of times a character was damaged with an Overbreak-upper -Number of times the character has fled from battle -Also slowly decreases over the course of the battle There are several ways to restore VP: -Examine the Recharge Stations that are placed around the dungeons and towns -Place the character in your reserve -Use the item God's Vigor Type: Whether the character is in the main party or in reserve. Total Battles: The total amount of battles the character has participated. Total Wins: The total amount of battles the character has killed an enemy. Direct: Affects how much damages is inflicted when using a Direct Skill. Ranged: Affects how much damage is inflicted when using a Ranged Skill. Support: Affects how effective healing and supports used by the character are. Agility: Affects how easy a character is surprised by the enemy and reduces the amount of VP lost during battle. Size: How many grids a character occupies on the battle field, sizes are 1, 4, and 12. Move Range: Distance the character is able to move on the battlefield. ============== Weapon Submenu ============== Selecting this will show current weapon equipped on the character and any equip able weapons available, it is set up like this: Atsuma Name HP 71 EP 85 Bone Knuckle Equip Bone Knuckle Current After change HP 71------>71 EP 85------>85 Direct 92------>92 Ranged 58------>58 Support 59------>59 Agility 78------>78 ============= Character Bio ============= Selecting this will just give the player more background information on the character. ========= Parameter ========= This submenu allows the player to expend SP to increase the characters parameters, it is set up like this: Required SP HP +15 30 EP +15 30 Status Direct +5 30 HP 71 Ranged +5 30 EP 85 Support +5 30 Direct 92 Agility +5 30 Ranged 58 Support 59 Agility 78 Total SP: 533 ====== Skills ====== This Submenu allows the player to view what skills a character has available note that Golems can not equip skills. Selecting the character name pulls up these submenus: Learn Skill Equip Skill In the case of a Golem: Learn Skill(Grayed Out) Check Skill =========== Learn Skill =========== Pulls up a submenu that shows what skills the character has available to learn, you learn skills by expending SP. You can choose from Skill or Support. =========== Equip Skill =========== Pulls up a submenu where you can equip the learned skill, same thing as Learn Skill you can choose Skill or Support. =========== Check Skill =========== This is only on a Golem's sub page, it just allows you to see what skills the Golem has equipped and their effects. ===== Items ===== You have these submenus: Use Item Sort Items ======== Use Item ======== Self-explanatory, has a list of all available Items in your inventory. Hit L1/R1 to view your Items in separate categories. Press triangle here to sort your items. ========= Sort Item ========= Pulls up your Battle Items and lets you sort them. =========== Information =========== This sub menu lets you access a database of sorts there are three submenus in this one: Map Completion Help === Map === This pulls up all the maps you've been to with current one showing, it shows what percent of the map has been completed. By hitting confirm you can view which enemies were encountered on the map. ========== Completion ========== Shows you the stats kept track of within the game, these being Total Map Coverage, Golems Obtained, Golems With Max FP, Skills Obtained, Supports Obtained, Total Play Time, Total TB Obtained and Wins. You can also view how much of the story is completed, Battle statistics, and Mini-Game Statistics. ==== Help ==== Allows you to access the descriptions of the Terminology used in the menus and the Tutorial you go through in the beginning of the game. =========== Save =========== Self-explanatory, allows you to save the game, you can save anywhere on the field. =========== Load =========== Load your saved game. =========== System =========== You can access the Game Options from here and change them. ============================================ SP Usage [SPU] ============================================ This section will go over what SP is used for and how to best spend it when increasing parameters. Keep in mind this is only a general guideline so you do not have to follow the tips placed here. ==================== What is it used for? ==================== SP is used for two things, Skills and increasing Parameters. ==================== How do I acquire SP? ==================== You can acquire SP two ways: -Participate in battle -Use a Skill Gem or a Mega Skill Gem. The Skill Gem costs 1200 TB and is available in the Shop Crystal when you are at the Castle Dam, the Mega Skill Gem costs 5600 TB and is not available in the Shop Crystal until Post-Earth Temple. ====================== How should I spend SP? ====================== For your characters you need to save some for learning any new skills, for Golems all you need to do is use it to increase their Parameters so there is no need to save any. ====== Skills ====== This only applies to characters, the most expensive skill to learn is the Encounter Evade support skill you need to expend 50,000 SP to learn it! ========== Parameters ========== This applies to both characters and Golems. If you go to the Parameter Submenu you can increase your HP, EP, Direct, Ranged, Support, and Agility. Increases are as follows: HP, EP: +15 Direct, Ranged, Support, Agility: +5 HP: Important for everyone to increase so do it consistently throughout the game, though some characters won't need an immediate boost to HP because they have a high amount to begin with. I would say make this a priority or a secondary depending on who you are looking at. If you have low level Golem then increase their HP early. Keep in mind that with a high amount of HP a character can take more hits and that's important because there is no defense parameter and no armor a character can equip. EP: Like HP this is an important increase for everyone, some characters won't even be able to use any of their skills until they have a sufficient amount EP so when you get one of those immediately increase EP, other characters won't need it until they get a certain skill that requires a large amount of EP to use so it can be a secondary instead. It's still advisable to increase EP consistently throughout the game. Direct: This is really only important for characters and Golems that primarily have Direct Skills. Ranged: Same as Direct only important for characters that mainly rely on Ether based skills and Ranged skills. Support: Make it a priority for characters that have Cover skills. Skills that don't have a number next to the PP won't be affected so look to see if it does or not before you increase it. In the event the character does have a lot of Cover skills with a number next to the PP then make it a priority because it effects how much HP is restored when a character heals or revives. Note that there are also Cover attack skills in this case you should also make it a priority for a character who has a lot of those, some examples are No-Barrier Shot, HP Drain Dance etc. Agility: Agility in my opinion is important as it helps determine if you are caught off guard in a battle, who goes first, and lowers the amount of VP lost when you run away from battle. This should be raised periodically throughout the game, also keep in mind that some Golems have a high amount of Agility to start with so they may not need it increased right away. =============================================== How should I distribute my Parameter increases? =============================================== Golems: Golems are by far the easiest to figure out what you should increase and depends on whether they mainly have Direct, Ranged, or Support skills. If they have a lot of one type (Direct, Ranged, Support) then increase the parameter that corresponds to it. In some cases you will find a Golem that has mixed skills when that occurs try and increase the corresponding parameters evenly or just increase the parameter of the one type you use the most. Characters: Characters are relatively simple also. Remember to save some SP to increase their HP, EP, and Agility. Atsuma: 90% of his skills are Direct so you should mostly increase Direct for him. If you use his Recover Body or High Recover frequently then increase support every so often, you can increase Ranged but it really isn't worthwhile as he only has access to one Ranged skill until Kyoto City anyways. Touya: He has a mix of Direct and Ranged increase both evenly but with a little bit more in the Direct because it has a higher PP. Makoto: He is a Ranged and Support character. I would raise his support first because he is the only way to heal your party in battle in the beginning of the game, put some into Ranged as well so he can do more damage but I would mainly focus on his Support until you are satisfied. Karin: Karin is definitely a mixed type character, she has Ranged attacks that deal Medium damage and are all Water attribute, her Direct attacks also do medium damage and have no attribute, plus she has Support skills. I would increase her Support first because she is the only one who can revive unconscious party members for awhile, then raise her Ranged. Direct can be raised as well but don't put too much into it. Raiga: Very easy to figure out, he has mainly Direct attacks so increase Direct, he gets one Ranged skill but it does the same amount of damage as his Direct. His Agility is low to so increase that as well. Yuki: She has Direct, Ranged and a couple Cover skills. Her Direct skills target more than one enemy and some have the Wind attribute, but her Ranged is stronger even though it only targets one enemy at a time so increase both Direct and Ranged. The only thing her Cover skills are good for is negating Barriers and Parameter increases so Support really isn't a priority. ============================================ Battle [BTL] ============================================ A lot of what is being put in this section can be looked up in the Main Menu by selecting Information---->Help and either viewing the tutorial or reading the terminology. ============= Battle Basics ============= Just a few things to keep in mind about battles: -All battles take place on grid field divided into two sections, Enemy section Ally Section -An Ally can move and perform an action in one turn. -All Skills except EX Skills consume EP. -Both sides can move anywhere their movement allows them except onto the opposing field's side and another occupied square. -Characters who are not in the Main Party still gain EXP, however no SP is gained. -A character will remain unconscious for three turns, after three turns have passed that unconscious character will withdraw from the battle, so you should revive a character before three turns have passed so they do not withdraw and so they gain experience. -A battle is won when all opposing enemies are defeated, likewise if all your characters are defeated you lose. However you can select retry battle if you lose. -At the end of a battle you will receive Tablets, Exp, SP, and Items. HP and EP are also restored. ============== Battle Display ============== In the lower left part of the screen you will see the characters information this looks something like this: EX-----MAX<----EX Skill Gauge [F]Atsuma<----Attribute, Character Name HP 58 EP 72<----Current HP/EP Combo-----0<----Combination Attack Gauge When you have selected a character a new command menu replaces the initial menu: Item Skill EX<-----Commands character has available. [F]Atsuma HP 58 EP 72 O DR Blow PP 42 EP 8<----Attribute, Type, Skill Name, PP, EP Cost F DR Flare Rush PP 63 EP 35 Standby EX Skill Gauge: Allows character to perform EX Skills when full, see EX Skills subsection for more details. Attribute: What attribute the character or skill is aligned with, see opposing attribute subsection for more details. Combination Attack Gauge: Enable the use of combination attacks when full, see Combination Attack subsection for more details. Type: The type of attack the skill is, see Attack Type subsection for more details. PP: The strength of the skill. The higher the strength, the more effective the skill is. EP: Amount of EP consumed to execute the skill. Standby: Passes a character's turn and restores EP. ================== Opposing Attribute ================== Like any other RPG Enchant Arm also has Attributes which enemies or characters are strong or weak against. Skills will have these attributes as part of their attack and if an enemy or character is attacked with the same attribute they are aligned with the damage will be halved, likewise if they are weak against the attribute damage will be doubled. There are six Attributes: Fire Water Wind Earth Light Dark Opposites are: Fire/Water Wind/Earth Light/Dark Abbreviations I will use when listing skills in Skills and Golems sections: F: Fire WT: Water WI: Wind E: Earth LI: Light D: Dark O: No Attribute Try to utilize the enemies weakness as much as possible, it will make battles quicker and easier. =================== Combination Attacks =================== Some things you should know about Combination Attacks: -To perform these attacks each character who you want to be involved with the combination attack must have their Combination Gauge full. -To actually initiate a Combination Attack the characters must attack the same Enemy directly after each other. -The more characters involved in a Combination Attack, the more powerful the attack will be. -After executing the Combination Attack the gauges are reset back to zero. -If you have a high amount of Friend Points (FP) there is a chance for the gauge to not completely be reset to zero. -To increase FP participate in battle as an ally or use items. -The gauge replenishes if the allies attack the same enemy in one turn or are attacked by a strong skill. =========== Attack Type =========== When you look at skills you will see icons that represent the type of attack the skill is I am not very good at depicting icons but I will list the four types and try to describe them as best I can: Fist: Direct Attack - Punch or weapon based skills for close combat Fist w/ Arrow: Ranged Attack - Ether, Flame, or Ice based Indirect attacks S: Support - Passive Skills Sphere w/Cross: Cover - Restore HP or EP, also includes any stat boost skills. Abbreviations used in Skills and Golems sections: DR: Direct RG: Ranged S: Support CV: Cover ============================================ Battle Status [BTLS] ============================================ There are both positive and negative statuses you will see when engaged in a battle. This is a list of what can statuses can occur. =============== Positive Status =============== Parameter +%: Increase your parameters by a certain percentage. Damage -%: Decrease damage by a certain percentage. Blurred: Makes a character or Golem harder to hit. =============== Negative Status =============== Poison: Lose a percentage of HP each turn Gravity: Disables movement Rage: Doubles VP Consumption (confirmation please) Anger: Causes Enemy to attack you Reverse: Changes Attribute to the opposite one e.g. Karin's would become Fire Unconscious: Character's HP has been depleted to zero so no commands can be given. An unconscious character remains on the battle field for three turns before they are removed unless they are unconscious because of an Overbreak Upper attack. Character will still gain EXP if unconscious but no SP is earned. The exception to this is If the character withdraws from battle they gain no EXP or SP. ============= Miscellaneous ============= Overbreak: Kill an enemy with a single attack or Combination Attack that causes more damage than its Max HP. You receive approximately 120% more SP from the enemy for killing them this way. Overbreak Upper: Kill an enemy with a single attack or Combination Attack that deals twice as much damage as its Max HP, this causes the enemy to be immediately removed from the battle field making them unable to be revived. You acquire approximately 200% more SP from the enemy for killing them this way. Note: Overbreak and Overbreak Upper can occur from enemy attacks as well. Getting an Overbreak and Overbreak Upper on the enemy increases your EX Gauge by approximately 3-4% each time it happens. ============================================ Skills [SKL] ============================================ This section will focus on the skills your characters can acquire. I will list every characters skills here. This section will contain Attribute of the Skill, if it is Direct, Ranged, Support or Healing, Power, Cost, SP expended to acquire and where you can learn the skill from. ============== Regular Skills ============== Some things you should know about Regular Skills: -Regular Skills are essentially the commands that can be given to a character if you have no skills equipped your character cannot do anything. -Each character can only equip five Regular Skills and five Support Skills. -Regular Skills consume SP to acquire. -THEY MUST BE EQUIPPED FIRST in order for the character to be able to use them. -You can buy new skills at the Shop Crystals scattered throughout the game. The Skills will remain in the shop inventory until you buy it so if you cannot afford one you can still buy it later on when you find another Shop Crystal. -Skills can also be obtained from bosses or found in chests. ======= Atsuma ======= -Skill- O DR Blow PP: 40 EP: 8 SP: 0 Learn: Initial Equip F DR Flare Rush PP: 60 EP: 35 SP: 0 Learn: Initial Equip O DR Stampede PP: 32 EP: 10 SP: 250 Learn:

and sound options to your liking, these can be readjusted once inside the game from the main menu. ============================================ Enchant University Yokohama City ============================================ Enemies: [WI]AAA Info Officer, [E]AAA Leader, [E]AAA Member, [WT]Counselor Coach, [WT]Plant Guardian, [WI]TFC Member 007, [WI]TFC Member 035, [WI]TFC Member 801, [E]YEC Executive, [E]YEC Leader, [E]YEC Rookie Boss Battle: None Golem Battle: None Items: Speed Gem, Power Gem, Mind Gem Skills: None Key Items: None Chests: 0 ============================================ Lecture Hall ============================================ After some scenes Atsuma will be given a choice, pick whatever you want. Professor Kou will ask Atsuma if he needs an explanation about battle, I suggest that if this is your first time playing by all means take him up on his offer, note that you can see the same battle tutorial by accessing the main menu. A battle will ensue: BATTLE =========================== Plant Guardian =========================== HP: 60 |Skills: EP: 54 |Aqua Blow TB: 25 | EXP: 5 | SP: 24 | Attribute: Water | Item: Power Gem | =========================== Party Atsuma LV 1 =========================== Strategy: Do not really need to give a strategy. Just use Flare Rush to kill it off with an Over Break. Easy. =========================== After some more scenes leave the Lecture Hall by the exit on either end to find yourself in ============================================ Central Tower Corridor ============================================ Here you will get a scene, when in control talk to everyone in the hallway after you're done head down the stairs to the left. ============================================ Cafeteria ============================================ When you arrive you will get another scene. When done, talk to all the people around if you want and then get your lunch. You can get your lunch from a couple different places and it doesn't really matter where you get it from but you can get different dialogue depending on what you buy: -Buy a chocolate bar from the vending machine by where Touya and Makoto are standing. -Buy Lunch at the counter, there are three options to pick from. When you have gotten your lunch go back and talk to Touya and Makoto and watch the scene. After go out into the courtyard and head east. If you don't know open up the map with Start and move towards the red blip. Once you arrive before you talk with the dog speak with the three YEC students and pick the second option, now go and talk with Atsuma's dog Cota and you will get another scene, just before you get there a mini tutorial about breaking enchanted boxes plays. Break the boxes open to get a Speed Gem and Power Gem, about Gems you use them to synthesize weapons and create Golems. After some scenes you are back inside the cafeteria, another mini tutorial will play here telling you how to add characters into your active party, place Touya and Makoto into your active party. There are two paths to get to the South Hall a quick path and then the long path which goes through the East Hall, East Corridor, Faculty Ward, and South Corridor. If you take the long path you can actually avoid two battles you would otherwise have to fight if you had gone directly to the South Hall entrance. I suggest you defeat the YEC in front of the East Hall for extra experience and then go to the South Hall entrance. Quick Path: Just head to the entrance of the South Hall which is the red blip on your map talk to the students in front of the door to engage in a battle. BATTLE ========================= AAA Info Officer ========================= HP: 40 |Skills: EP: 54 |Aero Sight Attribute: Wind | ========================= AAA Leader ========================= HP: 60 |Skills: EP: 54 |High Blow Attribute: Earth | ========================= AAA Member ========================= HP: 40 |Skills: EP: 54 |Blow Attribute: Earth | ========================= Party: Atsuma LV 1 Touya LV 4 Makoto LV 1 ========================== Strategy: One of the members will mention EP in the beginning, the battle is pretty much a normal fight, just attack until they are all unconscious. Use Flare Rush or High Spear on the AAA Info Officer and the AAA Member if you want to get a couple of Over Breaks in. Heal with Makoto's Cure Ballad if necessary. ========================== Enter the South Hall to proceed. Long Path: Head to the East Hall Entrance which is right next to where you found Cota, talk to the YEC and you will be in a battle. BATTLE ========================= YEC Leader ========================= HP: 60 |Skills: EP: 54 |High Blow Attribute: Earth | ========================= YEC Executive ========================= HP: 40 |Skills: EP: 54 |Blow Attribute: Earth | ========================= YEC Rookie ========================= HP: 40 |Skills: EP: 54 |Blow Attribute: Earth | ========================= Party: Atsuma LV 1 Touya LV 4 Makoto LV 1 ========================== Strategy: The YEC Leader mentions EX Skills in the beginning of the battle this is pretty much a normal fight and is no harder than the AAA battle, just attack until they are all unconscious. Use Flare Rush High Spear to finish them off quickly, heal with Makoto's Cure Ballad if necessary. ========================== Enter the East Hall. ============================================ East Hall ============================================ In this hall there is an orange console which just tells you what years and how many students Enchant University currently has, you need to go to the right side of the room and take the hallway down to another door into the East Corridor. ============================================ East Corridor ============================================ There's nothing to do here so just walk down the corridor to the next door and enter it. ============================================ Faculty Ward ============================================ In this room you can examine the pictures hanging up on either side of the hall, that's about it take the opposite door to exit. ============================================ South Corridor ============================================ Nothing of interest here just follow the corridor to the South Hall. ============================================ South Hall ============================================ There are two battles that take place in here, even if you went the East Hall way you can still fight the TFC if you talk with them. BATTLE ========================= TFC Member 007 ========================= HP: 40 |Skills: EP: 136 | Aero Energy Attribute: Wind | ========================= TFC Member 035 ========================= HP: 40 |Skills: EP: 136 |Aero Energy Attribute: Wind | ========================= TFC Member 801 ========================= HP: 40 |Skills: EP: 46 |Blow Attribute: Wind | ========================= Party: Atsuma LV 1 Touya LV 4 Makoto LV 1 ========================== Strategy: Same as the last fight, just attack until they are all unconscious. Both Touya's High Spear and Atsuma's Flare Rush will cause Over Break on all the members. Heal with Makoto's Cure Ballad if necessary. ========================== When the battle is finished, head upstairs and take the Sky Corridor exit to find another enchanted box on the right side containing a Mind Gem. Return and proceed south. Examine the yellow console to learn a little bit about Yokohama City if you want then walk towards the Blue Crystal, this is called a Recharge Station and when you examine it your VP is restored to max. When done attempt to exit South Hall only to be stopped. BATTLE ================================ Counselor Coach ================================ HP: 100 |Skills: EP: 54 |Shoot Attribute: Water |Aqua Shoot Skill: None | Item: Curing Powder | =============================== Plant Guardian =============================== HP: 54 |Skills: EP: 60 |Aqua Blow Attribute: Water | Item: Power Gem | =============================== Party: Atsuma LV 2 Touya LV 4 Makoto LV 2 ================================ Strategy: Attack the Plant Guardian first using Flare Rush. Once its gone have Touya and Atsuma focus on the Counselor while Makoto uses Cure Ballad. If she is in range of Flare Rush use it otherwise just use Blow and High Spear, watch Atsuma's HP though. Overall a rather easy fight. ================================ Once the battle is done exit to Yokohama City Trade District. ============================================ Yokohama City ============================================ Enemies: [F]Angelina, [WT]Crawford the Annihilator Enchanter of Shadows, [LI]Primrose, [E]Taigalion, [WI]Tiem-Tops, [WI]Yuki Boss: None Golem Battle: None Items: 100 TB, Primrose Core, Power Gem x2, Mind Gem x2, Speed Gem x2, Skills: None Key Items: Golem Ticket x4 Chests: 0 ============================================ Trade District ============================================ Watch the cut scene and conversation you will be given options it doesn't matter which one you choose Atsuma will go through all of them anyways heh. Explore Yokohama City if you want, you won't be able to do it later. Anyway if you want to get all the items I'll tell you where to get them if not just skip the next paragraph. Head north until you get by the pizza stand on your left are some barrels break them open to get Power Gem, a little further down on your left next to the second pizza stand are some more barrels break them open to obtain nothing (>_<). Moving on, across from the empty barrels to the left of Seagull Bar are breakable boxes that contain a Mind Gem, near the Bayside Hotel are boxes which contain a Power Gem. Go south down the stairs between the Juice sisters. At the fountain go left under the bridge to a large circular platform and break open the boxes there to obtain a Speed Gem. Return back to the Fountain Plaza. To the left of the large tent there are a bunch of boxes break them and continue following the path around until you get to lone box containing a Speed Gem. Back the way we came, continue to head south. On your right side there is a golem go up the small set of stairs on either side and break open the boxes for a Mind Gem. That's all the items that can be found. Not that we're done item hunting proceed to the large tent at Fountain Plaza and talk to the person standing in front. Afterwards go to the right of the tent and speak to the man at the Golem Ticket Tour Reception stand. Now it's time to go find the Golem Tickets, there are for total locations are as follows: -Speak with the Funny Clown in the Fountain Plaza. You will then have to answer four questions, it doesn't matter what answer you choose because they are all wrong and you will still receive the 1st Golem Ticket. -Speak to the Salesgirl at the Tropical Juice Shop in the Fountain Plaza. You will get some options to choose, pick whichever because they're all wrong again and you still receive the 2nd Golem Ticket. -Speak to the Crazy Pizza at Fiesta Pizzeria in the Fountain Plaza. You will then a start a mini-game of sorts ==================== Pizza Eating Contest ==================== You have 25 seconds which is plenty of time to eat 50 slices of pizza, tap the X or O depending on which version you are playing or shake the six-axis controller. The faster you tap the button or shake the controller the faster Atsuma eats the pizza. You receive the 3rd Golem Ticket at the end. == -Finally speak with the Juice Girl located just south of the Fountain Plaza, she is standing across from the stairs to the bridge. You will receive the 4th and last Golem Ticket. Now return to the Golem Ticket Tour Reception stand and speak with the man again and you will get options to choose from three Golems, here are the general stats of each: ========================================================== Tiem-Tops ========================================================== LV: 1 |Direct: 30 |Support: |Skills: HP: 30 |Ranged: 30 |Negate Rage |Clear Aid EP: 72 |Support: 50 | |Aero Bolt FP: 0 |Agility: 40 | |Body Attack VP: 30 |Size: 1 | |Barrier Attribute: Wind |Move Range: 2 | | ========================================================== ========================================================== Taigalion ========================================================== LV: 1 |Direct: 50 |Support: |Skills: HP: 38 |Ranged: 30 |Negate Rage |Blow EP: 80 |Support: 30 | |Mighty Blow FP: 0 |Agility: 50 | |Power Charge VP: 30 |Size: 1 | | Attribute: Earth |Move Range: 2 | | ========================================================== ========================================================== Angelina ========================================================== LV: 1 |Direct: 30 |Support: |Skills: HP: 30 |Ranged: 40 |Negate Rage |No-Barrier Sonic EP: 72 |Support: 50 | |Protection Link FP: 0 |Agility: 40 | |Reverse Sonic VP: 30 |Size: 1 | |Cure Voice Attribute: Fire |Move Range: 2 | | ========================================================== Pick whichever one you want now because you can get the other two later on. Now proceed to talk with the person in front of the large tent again and he will allow you inside. After the conversation go ahead pick your ring name I don't think it affects anything so pick whatever. When you have control you can examine the Recharge Station and if you want, talk to the people around, the Friendly Hoodlum (the person in the middle) will give you some advice if you speak with him, save your game if you want and when ready speak with the Hoodlum Official to begin. ============================================ Golem Tournament ============================================ Your first opponent is: ================================ Crawford the Annihilator, Enchanter of the Shadows ================================ HP: 60 |Skills: EP: 54 |Impulse Attribute: Water |Bad Edge Cut Item: None | =============================== Primrose =============================== HP: 50 |Skills: EP: 64 |Burst Attribute: Light |Shot Item: Speed Gem |Cure Loop =============================== Party: Atsuma LV 2 Tiem-Tops/Taigalion/Angelina LV 1 ================================ Strategy: If you chose Tiem-Tops as your Golem start the battle out with it casting Barrier on itself and Atsuma, and have Atsuma just attack. Focus your attacks on Crawford's Golem then focus on Crawford, if you need to heal use items. Try to keep Tiem-Tops in the back due to its low HP. If you chose Taigalion just have both Taigalion and Atsuma focus on one enemy at a time. If you chose Angelina just have Angelina focus on healing ally damage with Cure Voice and casting Protection Link while Atsuma attacks, if nobody needs to be healed then you can have her attack if you choose, just keep her in the back row because she has little HP. ================================ After the battle you receive 100 TB and a Primrose Core. After the cut scene and conversation battle commences Note: I am not sure if she has Taigalion all the time it may change depending on which Golem you chose, if someone can confirm this please let me know. Note 2: Thanks to Will Wiencek for sending me an e-mail stating that Yuki's Golem does indeed change depending on which one you choose as your initial Golem. ================================ Yuki ================================ HP: 48 |Skills: EP: 72 |Shot Attribute: Wind | Item: Power Gem | =============================== Taigalion/Angelina/Tiem-Tops =============================== HP: XX |Skills: EP: XX |Varies Attribute: Varies | Item: None | ============================= Party: Atsuma LV 2 Tiem-Tops/Angelina/Taigalion LV 1 ================================ Strategy: You don't necessarily need to win this battle as in a few turns the battle ends automatically. Yuki has an attack range of four so move to the back row to get her into Atsuma's attack range. With Tiem-Tops: Taigalion is weak against Wind so after Tiem-Tops has cast Barrier have it use Aero Bolt while Atsuma uses Flare Rush or Blow. With Angelina: Just have her act as the support throughout the fight she won't be able to do much damage anyways. With Taigalion: Have Taigalion use Power Charge if he has the EP to do so, otherwise focus on attacking, healing with items if needed. ================================ After the battle watch the scenes and you will find yourself outside. ============================================ Yokohama City ============================================ Enemies: [F]Crazy Pizza, [WI]Funny Clown, [WI]Vandog Boss: [WI]Yokohama Guard Golem Battle: None Items: None Skills: None Key Items: None Chests: 0 ============================================ Trade District ============================================ First thing to note is that there are now random battles. Examine the Recharge Station to your left to replenish VP and then examine the black floating crystal, this crystal is a shop where you can buy items, skills, Core Materials, sell items, and synthesize Golems and Weapons. Do some shopping if you'd like otherwise head south from the shop crystal. Here you will see a Vandog attacking one of the City Force Soldiers, defeat it and watch the conversation after then head north to the Fountain Plaza where you will see a Crazy Pizza and Funny Clown attacking a boy defeat them both after some scenes and conversation you will be told to go the school, if you want to spend a little time to level do so now, I'd say around Level 5 for the human characters and Level 4 or 5 for the Golems. Also try to get enough TB to buy these Skills: -Stampede -Negate Rage And these cores: -Plant Core -Rio Mimoza Core Yes I know it's a lot but you acquire TB a lot faster than EXP. Synthesize Primrose, Plant, and Rio Mimoza if you have the materials to do so, when finished proceed north to Enchant University and after the conversation and scenes you will be engaged in BOSS BATTLE ================================ Yokohama Guard ================================ HP: 250 |Skills: EP: 150 |High Aero Shot Attribute: Wind |Shot TB: 55 |Burst EXP: 20 | SP: 70 | Skill: Wave | Item: Power Gem | =============================== Party: Atsuma LV 5 Touya LV 5 Makoto LV 5 Primrose LV 4 ================================ Strategy: The battle shouldn't be too difficult if you leveled up to 5 like I suggested. When the battle starts if you have any of your EX Gauge filled then use Heaven Squall and Concerto, those two attacks should take off good chunk of damage and maybe possibly kill it off. If not make sure you have a golem with healing spells, like Primrose or Rio Mimoza. Have your characters use their skills while the Golem casts any support spells or heal any hurt party members. ================================ Once the battle is over and you are in control of Atsuma again proceed north to the University South Hall. ============================================ Enchant University ============================================ Enemies: [WI]Evil Eye, [WI] Funny Clown, [WT]Plant Guardian, [WI]Vandog, [WI]Yokohama Guard Boss: None Golem Battle: None Items: None Skills: None Key Items: None Chests: 0 ============================================ South Hall ============================================ When you are in control of Atsuma again the first thing that is obvious is that the earthquake has caused a huge mess and has blocked off pretty much everywhere, you now also fight random battles. If you want examine the Recharge Station then follow the only path available to you. ============================================ Cafeteria ============================================ Watch the scene and conversation and then follow Cota, you will find yourself at the entrance of the Sealed Ward. ============================================ Sealed Ward ============================================ Enemies: [F]Blaze Imp, [D]Evil Eye, [WT]Knight Servant, [WT]Plant Guardian, [LI]Mage Guardian, [WT]Plant Guardian, [LI]Seraphim, [WI]Vandog Boss: [F]Fire Guardian, [WT]Queen of Ice Golem Battle: [WT]Knight Servant Items: 500 TB x2, 1000 TB, Hammer Fist Core, Servant Core Skills: None Key Items: None Chests: 3 ============================================ Entrance Hall ============================================ Once you have control of Atsuma keep proceeding forward until some scenes play *gasp* ============================================ Depths ============================================ Once the conversation is finished and you have control examine the Recharge Station and Shop Crystal if you want, when finished proceed forward down the hall to arrive at an Enchant Cube Touya will give a brief explanation on how the Enchant Cube works. Take it across to arrive in the Stair Room. ============================================ Stair Room ============================================ When you go through move forward and another explanation plays, this time about Enchant Item Boxes, when done open the chest to obtain 500 TB. Now who would just leave a chest with money lying around? Anyways take either staircase down to the bottom move forward to trigger another explanation about Enchant Cube Elevators. When finished take the Cube up to the door and enter. ============================================ Power Room ============================================ Take the small set of stairs to your right and move forward until a conversation ensues. When done take the Enchant Cube across to the other side, then take the next Cube back across to the right side of the room and open the Enchant Box to receive another 500 TB, back track and go forward this time, take the door. ============================================ Upper Corridor ============================================ Proceed forward down the hall to about halfway and look to the left, down the hall you will see Knight Servant Golem, this guy is optional but if you don't beat him now then you won't be able to synthesize him later on. Edit your party to have Rio Mimoza in it and proceed down the hall to fight him. GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Knight Servant ================================ HP: 156 |Skills: EP: 275 |High Blade Attribute: Water |X Cutter Item: Power Gem x2 |Aqua Impulse |Protection Accel ================================ Mage Guardian x2 ================================ HP: 48 |Skills: EP: 155 |High Light Sight Attribute: Light |High Light Force Item: Mind Gem |Body Attack =============================== Party: Atsuma LV 5 Touya LV 6 Makoto LV 5 Rio Mimoza LV 6 ================================ Strategy: If you brought Rio Mimoza then she can act as the primary healer in this battle. The Mage Guardians that show up with the Knight Servant aren't terribly hard to kill off so focus on them first, try to use multi-target skills to hit the Mage Guardian and the Knight Servant at the same time. Atsuma will be able to deal double damage to the Knight Servant and if it's in range of Flare Rush use it. Keep an eye on Atsuma's HP however because the Knight Servant will also deal double damage to Atsuma and be especially careful of Aqua Impulse, it could very well kill off Atsuma in one shot if his HP isn't high enough. ================================ After the battle you receive Servant Core, this will allow you to synthesize Knight Servant Golem. You will now encounter Knight Servants as regular enemies. Backtrack and proceed south. ============================================ Guardian Room ============================================ When you regain control continue moving south until you get a conversation. You now have to find a way to activate the Golems to move them out of the way of the Sealed Ward Lock Room. Proceed south and take the Cube up to the area above, here is where you find the switch. After the mini explanation activate the switch you can now enter, before you can go through the door Touya mentions the Enchant Dance that will replenish the EX Gauge. After he's done you can choose to do the Enchant Dance to get your EX Gauge to max, when finished enter. ============================================ Lock Room ============================================ Inside this room there is a Shop Crystal is directly in front of you use it and synthesize that Knight Servant Golem. Approach the device in the middle of the room to get a scene. You will now need to look for Ether to fix the device, backtrack and take a right you will get an explanation on Enchant Wire. After walk onto the glowing target and grapple across until you get to the other side of where you entered from. Approach blue glowing sphere and get another explanation. Absorb the Ether, bring it back to the device, approach it and then examine the Ether Port to place the Ether inside. Watch the cut scene. Once at the bottom the Ether Port changes to red again. Turn around and examine the Recharge Station if you want and then move left towards a ladder. When in control again climb up the ladder and follow the path and climb down another ladder where a chest containing 1000 TB sits. Work your way back to the Recharge Station go past it until you get to another Enchant Cube, take it and the Cube will malfunction. Once you get to the other side go up the ladder and use the Enchant Wire to get across to another Ether Sphere. Go back to the Recharge Station examine it. If you want attain Level 7, if not proceed towards the device and use the Ether to get down to the bottom. Once you arrive, shop if you want, save and then move forward....GAH a Golem! BOSS BATTLE ================================ Fire Guardian ================================ HP: 1002 |Skills: EP: 602 |Flare Giga Gasp Attribute: Fire |Giga Hammer TB: 200 | EXP: 85 | SP: 190 | Skill: None | Item: Power Gem | =============================== Party: Atsuma LV 7 Touya LV 7 Makoto LV 7 Knight Servant LV 7 ================================ Strategy: Do you want a real easy way to smite him? Before the battle make sure at least three of the characters have a maxed out Combo Gauge and the EX Gauge is either maxed or is filled to any point where you can use Touya's and Makoto's EX Skill. When the battle begins immediately have Atsuma, and whatever Golem you brought attack while Makoto uses Concerto and Touya uses Heaven Squall. Heh, this should make short work of the Fire Guardian. If it doesn't die on the first turn just use Concerto again in conjunction with Aqua Spike and Knight Servant's Aqua Impulse if you have him in your party. ================================ After the battle watch the cut scene and you receive the Hammer Fist Core. Go back to the Shop Crystal and synthesize the Hammer Knuckle Weapon. Before you proceed take a moment and use all of Touya's and Makoto's SP to increase their parameters you will see why in a few minutes.

Watch the scene and you will be given some options pick the third option and a long conversation will ensue. Examine the cell door. Watch the scene, after examine the window then the cell door again. Watch another cut scene and you will find yourself in the hallway. When you gain control be sure to add Karin and Raiga into your Main Party and head left to a chest containing 5000 TB. Go past your cell and up the stairs to some boxes and a Recharge Station. Continue following the path up the stairs and move down the hall. The second cell on your left has a Golem Battle in it. GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Crazy Pizza ================================ HP: 283 |Skills: EP: 363 |Flare Blow Attribute: Fire |Mega Charge TB: 30 | EXP: 180 | SP: 20 | Item: Power Gem | =============================== Party: Atsuma LV 7 Karin LV 7 Raiga LV 7 Rio Mimoza LV 7 ================================ Strategy: Yeah, its crazy all right. The Crazy Pizza is all by his lonesome so you don't really need a strategy, just be sure to keep Karin out of the range of Flare Blow, have her use Aqua Mist and heal when necessary. ================================ After the battle you receive the Crazy Pizza Core that allows you to synthesize the Crazy Pizza Golem. Continue following the path, break the boxes on the first landing to obtain a Mind Gem and continue on your merry way. When you get to the top there is a Shop Crystal on your right side in the Northeast corner of the room break the boxes open to obtain a Speed Gem. Shop if you want because the Shop Crystal has added new items to its inventory: Castle Dam Items: Curing Powder 80 TB Liquid Ether 70 TB Recovery Powder 450 TB Return Powder 650 TB Release Ether 400 TB Skill Gem 1200 TB Power Gem 150 TB Mind Gem 150 TB Speed Gem 150 TB Skills: Gray-Force 2700 TB High Charge 2400 TB High Shoot 2100 TB Wide Shoot 680 TB High Earth Shake 3900 TB Speed +20% 1200 TB Core Material: Rouge Fist Core 3600 TB Blue Leg Core 3800 TB Amber Sword Core 5500 TB Sasquatch Core 3200 TB Daisy Blue Core 1770 TB Guardian Core 920 TB Items of interest are: -Gems -High Charge -High Shoot -Wide Shoot -High Earth Shake -Speed +20% -Rouge Fist Core -Blue Leg Core -Amber Sword Core Try to at least buy the three weapon cores because the weapons synthesized from them will be useful for a while, for all three it will cost 12,900 TB, it also wouldn't hurt you to buy the Wide Shoot Skill for Karin. So fight some battles to try and get at least that much. Before you leave synthesize that Crazy Pizza Golem. When finished proceed through the door. ============================================ West Water Tower ============================================ When you have control again go left up the small ladder and go straight because the first offshoot only leads to a locked gate. If you take the second offshoot before the ladder to climb down you can find a chest containing 1000 TB. Go back to the main path and climb down the ladder and move forward until you come to a seemingly dead end. If you rotate your camera you will see that there are ladders on either side going up top. Climb the ladder on the left side and when you get to the very top you will see a chest in front of you open it for 2000 TB. Go back down and climb up the opposite side, at the top go in the only direction you can go left where you will face LONDON CITY KNIGHTS =============================== Green Lancer =============================== HP: 192 |Skills: EP: 126 |High Spear Attribute: Earth | Item: None | Skill: Slash | =============================== Green Knight =============================== HP: 128 |Skills: EP: 101 |High Blade Attribute: Earth | Item: None | =============================== Green Knight =============================== HP: 164 |Skills: EP: 110 |High Blade Attribute: Earth | Item: None | =============================== Party: Atsuma LV 9 Karin LV 8 Raiga LV 8 Rio Mimoza LV 9 =============================== Strategy: It's not really a tough fight, just focus your attacks on one enemy at a time and if your EX Gauge is full use both Atsuma's and Karin's EX ability. Make sure to keep both Karin and Rio Mimoza out of range of the Knight's attacks because they hurt those two more than Atsuma and Raiga. Heal with either Karin or Rio Mimoza when needed. =============================== After the battle you get some choices pick the second choice, when in control again make sure to teach Raiga the new Skill Slash you obtained and then move forward and a explanation on how to swim will occur. After break open the boxes for a Speed Gem and shop if you so desire otherwise swim your way across. On the other side break open the barrels to obtain a Power Gem. Walk south and hit the switch on the wall and hit the switch on the platform across from the wall. A small scene will play. Climb down the ladder and exit. ============================================ Exterior Path ============================================ Directly in front of you is a target to use the Enchant Wire do so to get across to the other side of the broken walkway and enter the door. ============================================ Southwest Water Tower ============================================ To Atsuma's Right is a chest containing 3000 TB behind him is target for the Enchant Wire use to get across. You can't go right so go left and climb the ladder. ============================================ Exterior Path ============================================ Up here break the boxes in the northwest corner for a Speed Gem, follow the only path to a Shop Crystal, across from the Shop Crystal off screen there is a Golem Battle save before you engage just in case. GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Lord Onyx ================================ HP: 248 |Skills: EP: 115 |High Blade Attribute: Dark |Impulse Item: Power Gem | ================================ Royal Bone x2 ================================ HP: 95 |Skills: EP: 85 |Spear Attribute: Earth |Soldier's Shield Item: Power Gem | ================================ Dariaslez ================================ HP: 68 |Skills: EP: 188 |High Shot Attribute: Wind |Strong Gain Item: Mind Gem |Mega Link Gain =============================== Party: Atsuma LV 9 Karin LV 9 Raiga LV 9 Rio Mimoza LV 9 ================================ Strategy: Attack Lord Onyx once or twice with two other characters, make sure they attack before Atsuma. Then use Atsuma's Phoenix Summon to kill everyone else except the single Royal Bone on the left side of the field. Then just finish off the Royal Bone with a couple of Skills. ================================ After the battle you receive the Lord Onyx Core. Behind where the Lord Onyx was standing break open the boxes to obtain a Power Gem go to the Shop Crystal behind and synthesize Lord Onyx. When finished continue down the path and climb down the ladder. ============================================ Sewer ============================================ Follow the path and climb down the first ladder you see, follow path in front of Atsuma to a dead end with a chest containing a Blade Leg Core for Karin. Backtrack and continue following the path to the next ladder on your right. Climb down and follow the path to another dead end where you can do another Golem Battle save beforehand if you wish. GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Dariaslez ================================ HP: 160 |Skills: EP: 307 |High Shot Attribute: Wind |Strong Gain Item: Mind Gem |Mega Link Gain ================================ Royal Bone x3 ================================ HP: 95 |Skills: EP: 85 |Spear Attribute: Earth |Soldier's Shield Item: Power Gem | =============================== Party: Atsuma LV 9 Karin LV 9 Raiga LV 9 Rio Mimoza LV 9 ================================ Strategy: This should be real easy if your EX Gauge is around 65% full. Just have Atsuma and Karin use their EX Ability. There, now that wasn't so hard was it? ================================ After the laughably easy Golem Battle you receive the Dariaslez Core. Backtrack and climb back up and continue following the path when you come across a lone box break it to obtain a Mind Gem. When you get to a ladder on your left ignore it because there's nothing of interest down there and break the barrels on your right open to obtain a Power Gem, continue along and break the boxes in front of you to obtain a Mind Gem, continue along the path and take the ladder you come across down to chest containing 3000 TB. Continue back and just remain on the path and break the boxes to obtain yet another Power Gem and continue until you get a scene and some options pick whatever, I chose the second one just for the hell of it.(>_<)d Before you climb up the ladder break the barrels behind the shelves on your right side to get a final Mind Gem. Exit here. ============================================ London City ============================================ Enemies: None Golem Battle: None Items: Power Gem, Mind Gem x2, Speed Gem x3 Skills: Negate Poison Key Items: None Chests: 1 ============================================ Bar ============================================ During some scenes when you are given a choice pick yes, when you have control again leave the Bar. ============================================ Inner City ============================================ All right time to go item hunting: Break the barrels on both sides of the bar's entrance to obtain a Mind Gem and a Power Gem, head north from the square at the curve break open the boxes to obtain a Mind Gem and continue following the path. Across from the Job Center break open the boxes to obtain a Speed Gem. Follow the path all the way to the northeast corner break all the boxes for another Speed Gem and open the chest for a Negate Poison. That's all the items you can find here in London City. Now to go and check out the Casino, if you don't want to skip the next section. ============================================ London City Casino ============================================ The following is available to play inside the Casino: Bingo Slot Machine Roulette Before you begin messing around in the casino try to have enough TB to buy at the bare minimum 100 chips that way you can bet in some of the games or participate in the Golem Battles. To get 100 chips, exchange 2000 TB. Just make sure to save before betting or doing anything in the Casino so as not to lose any Chips. If you want to make a whole lot of TB the easiest way to do that is to play Roulette. Refer to the Hints section for details. You can also participate in Golem Battles, at this point in time if you have been following my FAQ you should be strong enough to be able to complete up to the 8th Golem Battle, refer to Side Quests for more information on Casino Golem Battles. You can exchange chips for prizes, the following prizes are available now: Smokey Fire Core 10000 Chips Recovery Powder 120 Chips Floresia Core 4000 Chips Clown Core 250 Chips Devilin Core 500 Chips Vandog Core 200 Chips Marlin Glave Core 8000 Chips Taunt Skill 800 Chips EP Drain Dance Skill 1500 Chips Try to win enough chips to get the Marlin Glave Core and the two Skills. ============================================ I spent some time doing the easy TB trick and used SP to increase my characters and Golem's parameters until the SP to raise a stat cost 1350 SP, mainly because the I could just restore any used SP by buying the Skill Gem from the Shop Crystal. I also bought all available Skills, Items and Cores before I decided to stop. ============================================ When you are done messing around in the Casino talk to any of the people in the crowd in front of the soldier to advance the game, after go up the stairs in front of the casino. ============================================= Grand Steps ============================================= Go right and exit London City. ============================================ Londinus Plains ============================================ Enemies: [E]Daisy Blue, [D]Devilin, [F]Hobgoblin, [E]Lenialis, [E]Royal Bone, [WT]Sahagin, [D]Silent Assassin, [E]Taigalion, [E]Woodian Boss: [E]Amazonia Golem Battle: [WI]Bulldog, [F]House Guardian Items: 1000 TB, Amazonia Core, Bulldog Core, House Core, Max Sword Core, Zombie Core, Power Gem, Mind Gem x2, Speed Gem Skills: Cancel Gravity Key Items: None Chests: 3 ============================================ Wilds ============================================ Just follow the road until you are foiled by a landslide. When you regain control head left to the forest you will also find a Golem Battle GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Bulldog x4 ================================ HP: 330 |Skills: EP: 369 |Reverse Bite Attribute: Wind |EP Drain Bite Item: Mind Gem |Unlink Bite |Grav Roar ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 10 Karin LV 10 Raiga LV 10 Lord Onyx LV 10 ================================ Strategy: Okay there's four of these guys the three in front are weaker versions of the one in the very back. If Raiga has High Earth Shake use it because the Bulldogs are weak against Earth. Of course to make it really simple you can perform an Enchant Dance before the battle and max out your EX Gauge and just have Atsuma and Karin use their EX Ability. ================================ When finished mopping the floor with these guys you obtain Bulldog Core. Continue forward and enter ============================================ North Forest ============================================ Follow the path south until you come across a ruined building by some water on your left, climb up the steps and open the chest containing a Zombie Core. Continue south, after some scenes continue until you reach a fork. The right path leads to White Tiger, Holy Guardian Beast #1. I suggest you ignore him for now because at your current level fighting him is suicide. Just make note of his location. If you want to try and fight him save before you speak with him, but don't say I didn't warn you. The left path is actually where you need to go so take that path and follow until a scene plays, climb down the ladder to exit. ============================================ Military Path ============================================ There is a Shop Crystal directly in front of you, shop and Synthesize if you want then proceed. There is a room to the left where you emerge which houses a chest which contains Cancel Gravity Support Skill. Across from the room with the chest next to the weapons rack are some boxes that contain a Mind Gem. When finished here proceed down the only path available. Plant killing time! BOSS BATTLE ================================ Amazonia ================================ HP: 1020 |Skills: EP: 444 |Giga Breath Attribute: Earth |Drain Bark TB: 1400 |Poison Ball EXP: 400 | SP: 350 | Skill: None | Item: Mind Gem | ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 11 Karin LV 11 Raiga LV 11 Lord Onyx LV 11 ================================ Strategy: This is one overgrown plant. The attack you should watch out for is Drain Bark, don't have your more than two characters grouped together. Raiga shouldn't get damaged too much because he is the same attribute. Start the battle out with Atsuma using High Blow or Flare Rush and Raiga attacking with either Slash or Blade. Karin and your Golem should try to remain outside of Amazonia's attack range and use skills like Aqua Mist. If you have Lord Onyx use Impulse. Make sure that your characters have Negate Poison as an equipped skill and if your Golem gets poisoned cure it with a Release Ether. The Amazonia should only be able to survive for 3 or 4 turns because it is a size 4 and easily hit. Have Karin or if you brought a Golem with Healing skills act as the healer when needed. If you have a EX Gauge around 80% full when the battle begins then use the character's EX. Raiga's Levatane which he learns at level 10 is good because it can boost his parameters anywhere from 100%-120%. When all three character's EX has been used the gauge will be depleted and then you can follow the strategy above. With this method the Amazonia will probably only last 2 turns. ================================ After the battle a scene plays. You will receive Max Sword Core for Raiga and Amazonia Core. Go back to the shop and Synthesize if wish, otherwise just head down the hallway. When you come to a Recharge Station, examine it and break the boxes around to obtain a Speed Gem and a Power Gem. Continue on up the stairs until you get to a ladder, before you leave destroy the boxes to the right of the ladder to obtain a Mind Gem. Climb on up the ladder. ============================================ South Forest ============================================ When you get up here rotate the camera to spot a chest to the left of the ladder behind you, loot it to receive 1000 TB. When done just follow the path on the way you can fight a Golem Battle GOLEM BATTLE ================================ House Guardian x4 ================================ HP: 364 |Skills: EP: 181 |Flare Shot Attribute: Fire |EP Drain Dance Item: Mind Gem |Poison Shoot ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 11 Karin LV 11 Raiga LV 11 Lord Onyx LV 11 ================================ Strategy: Karin will be really effective here, use her EX Lohengrin if you can, otherwise she can just use Aqua Mist. You can have your other three characters do whatever because either way, this is a really easy Golem Battle. ================================ After the battle you receive House Core. Continue following the path. ============================================ Ragau Coast ============================================ Enemies: [WI]Bulldog, [E]Daisy Blue, [WT]Mermaid, [WI]Prill Cotton, [F]Saber Tiger, [WT]Unabongo, [WI]Vandog, [WI]Werewolf Boss: [WT]Aqua Jelly Golem Battle: [WT]Mermaid, [F]Saber Tiger Items: 1000 TB x3, 3500 TB, Mermaid Core, Saber Tiger Core, Speed Gem Skills: Hi-Return Dance Key Items: None Chests: 5 ============================================ Fork ============================================ Just follow road south and when you come to a lone man on your right speak with him. After the scene you can check out the Shop Crystal though it has nothing new and Synthesize if you want, when done proceed and examine the Recharge Station if you so desire (you know you want to...) you can't go right Towards Kyoto City so just go left to Yokohama City. Watch the scene. When in control head right from where you are standing and follow the path down to the coast. If you follow the coast all the way to end you will find Black Dragon in an alcove. You are unable to fight him at the present time because he requires you to bring a certain item to him, refer to Side Quests for more information. Go to one of the dirt patches along the shore and get in the water and swim down the river to another dirt patch and get out on the other side and go uphill. In an area to the left of the bridge is a chest hidden by the grass that contains 1000 TB, once claimed head down the road. ============================================ Cape ============================================ Follow the path straight because there's nothing of interest, at the end of the tunnel are boxes just break them to get them out of your way, there's no items in them though. Before going into the next tunnel, go left all the way to the end of the path to find a chest containing 1000 TB sitting all by its lonesome. Once claimed head back and proceed forward. Speak with the man standing to the left of the tunnel if you want, then head across. Keep moving forward and as you near the statue you will be able to do a Golem Battle GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Saber Tiger x3 ================================ HP: 390 |Skills: EP: 150 |Sabertooth Attribute: Fire |Flare Bite Item: Power Gem |HP Drain Bite ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 12 Karin LV 12 Raiga LV 12 Lord Onyx LV 13 ================================ Strategy: You fight two weak and one strong Saber Tiger. Karin will be effective here as well, use her EX Lohengrin if you can and try to kill off at least two of them with it, otherwise she can just use Aqua Mist. You can have your other three characters attack the Saber Tiger not being targeted by Lohengrin. This is another really easy Golem Battle. ================================ After the battle you obtain Saber Tiger Core. Continue on through the tunnel and you will get a scene. When in control again keep following the road through the next tunnel (as if you really had a choice) and end up in ============================================ Wharf ============================================ Watch the scene. When in control head forward until you reach a path diverging to the left, there is also a Recharge Station and a Shop Crystal here as well. Go down the slope and watch the scene, move forward and watch another scene. Go left from the Patrol Vessel and follow the tunnel to an Ether Sphere, back track and use the Enchant Wire to get on top go left and examine the power supply. Watch the scene and examine the gun. Watch the scene and proceed down the now unblocked path. Keep moving forward on the other side of the very large debris you can fight a Golem Battle GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Mermaid ================================ HP: 325 |Skills: EP: 197 |High Cure Voice Attribute: Water |No-Power Sonic Item: Mind Gem |Cure Melody |HP Drain Voice ================================ Werewolf x2 ================================ HP: 143 |Skills: EP: 114 |High Air Blow Attribute: Wind |Recover Body Item: Speed Gem |Air Force ================================ Unabongo ================================ HP: 303 |Skills: EP: 106 |Aqua Crush Attribute: Water |Aqua Quake Item: Speed Gem | ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 13 Karin LV 13 Raiga LV 13 Lord Onyx LV 13 ================================ Strategy: Have Atsuma start the battle off using Summon Phoenix boosted to at least 15% or higher, that should take care of three out of four enemies, have Raiga use High Earth Shake, Karin can be healer. Have the Golem you brought with you do whatever. Be wary of the Mermaid's HP Drain Voice skill because she can heal herself to full HP if your characters are too close to each other. ================================ After the battle you obtain Mermaid Core. Continue on down the frozen path watch the scene and you will be engaged. BOSS BATTLE ================================ Aqua Jelly ================================ HP: 2000 |Skills: EP: 600 |Aqua Giga Blow Attribute: Water |Aqua Giga Wave TB: 1800 |Recover Body EXP: 900 | SP: 770 | Skill: Hi-Return Dance | Item: Power Gem | ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 13 Karin LV 13 Raiga LV 13 Lord Onyx LV 13 ================================ Strategy: I came into this battle with a full EX Gauge and Max Combo meter on all characters. Keep an eye Atsuma's HP throughout this fight. All of Aqua Jelly's skills have the potential to hit all characters so line your characters up across the grid that way his skills will only hit two people at a time. Start the battle off with Atsuma using Summon Phoenix try to get up to 20% boost. Have your other character's use skills on Aqua Jelly and if you had what I had you will initiate a combination attack which should take off a good chunk of its HP. Make sure to keep up the damage because Aqua Jelly has Recover Body skill which will restore both his lost HP and EP. Have your characters use their most powerful skills and he should choke before long. Have Karin heal when needed. ================================ After the battle watch the scene. You will receive Hi-Return Dance for Karin, expend SP to learn this skill as soon as possible and equip it. Moving on, proceed forward and follow the path to the ramp to the right because straight ahead is blocked. When you get up top go down the alley to the left of the building with the seven on it to find a chest containing 1000 TB, backtrack and head left destroying the boxes in your way. Go left and follow the path to a split, go straight instead of right to a chest containing 1000 TB, backtrack and take the other path. Continue moving forward until you get a scene. Ignore the door for now and go straight to the Shop Crystal, Synthesize any golems you might want and then head left down an alley to another chest containing 3500 TB. Break the boxes next to the chest to obtain a Speed Gem, when finished enter the door. ============================================ Yokohama City ============================================ Enemies: [D]Duende, [WI]Funny Clown, [WT]Lady Azlight, [WT]Palace Gunner, [WT]Unabongo, [WI]Vandog, [WI]Yokohama Guard, [D]Zombie Boss: [WT]Lady Azlight Golem Battle: [D]Evil Eye, [WT]Palace Gunner, [WI]Yokohama Guard Items: 500 TB x3, 1000 TB x3, Evil Eye Core, Guard Core, Palace Gun Core, Speed Gem Skills: High Blade, Poison Mist Key Items: None Chests: 7 ============================================ Warehouse ============================================ Watch the scene. When in control open the map and then head to the southwest corner for a chest containing 1000 TB, head back towards the entrance and look on your left side and climb the ladder to the second level. Watch the scene and push the switch, you now have a way to get across to the other side. Climb the nearby ladder and cross the crane, ignore the switch because it's broken. Push the switch on the left side to raise the elevator and take it down, open the chest down here to obtain High Blade skill for Raiga, learn it and equip it, go back up top. Now proceed to where the other crane is and press the switch, the crane will knock down the shelving creating a path for you to go through, keep going until you get another scene. Hit the switch here to lower the lift you passed while getting the first chest and go all the way back and take the lift up you can do a Golem Battle here as well GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Evil Eye ================================ HP: 398 |Skills: EP: 154 |Aero Bolt Attribute: Wind |Body Attack Item: Mind Gem |Gravity |Poison ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 14 Karin LV 14 Raiga LV 14 Mage Guardian LV 12 ================================ Strategy: You will most likely get caught off guard when you engage in this Golem Battle. If your characters are equipped with Negate Poison and Negate Gravity then you are protected from half of its skills. You might even get lucky and they will never use Aero Bolt and keep trying to inflict Poison/Gravity on your characters. When it's your character's turn have Atsuma use Summon Phoenix this will take off about half their HP. Raiga can use High Earth Shake, Karin and whatever Golem you brought can do whatever. ================================ After the battle you obtain Evil Eye Core. Now go back and push the button to activate the crane clearing a path to the exit. Leave, you are now in ============================================ Port Customs ============================================ Before you head down the stairs go left and open the chest that contains 500 TB, now proceed down the stairs, at the bottom look left for another chest which contains 500 TB. Proceed down the tunnel and exit. ============================================ Port City ============================================ A Shop Crystal and Recharge Station lay to the right, use both then go down the steps to the right and travel north of the building to a corner with some boxes, break them open to obtain a Speed Gem. Now make your way to the square moving forward until you get a scene. Ambush! BOSS BATTLE ================================ Lady Azlight x4 ================================ HP: 380 |Skills: EP: 142 |Ice Sonic Attribute: Water |Cure Voice TB: 360 |Protection Link EXP: 632 | SP: 552 | Skill: Poison Mist | Item: Mind Gem | ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 14 Karin LV 14 Raiga LV 14 Lord Onyx LV 14 ================================ Strategy: This battle is a joke if you have the EX Gauge filled. As soon as the battle starts move Atsuma so that when he summons Phoenix he targets three of the Lady Azlight, one Phoenix should do the job. Have the other three characters attack the one who wasn't hit by Phoenix. This fight should only take one turn to win. Hah! Eat that Queen of Ice! ================================ After the battle a scene plays, you will obtain Poison Mist skill for Karin, expend the necessary SP and replace Aqua Mist with it. Go up the steps and rotate your camera to see a small pathway, follow this to a Golem Battle GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Yokohama Guard x3 ================================ HP: 407 |Skills: EP: 126 |High Aero Shot Attribute: Wind |Shot Item: Power Gem |Burst |No-Protect Shot | ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 14 Karin LV 14 Raiga LV 14 Lord Onyx LV 15 ================================ Strategy: The one with 407 HP is the actual Yokohama Guard, the other two won't have the same complement of skills. Have Raiga use High Earth Shake, Atsuma use any skill. Karin can use Poison Mist because the Yokohama Guards are susceptible to Poison. If anyone needs to be healed use Karin's Cure Dance, overall not very hard to win. ================================ After the battle you receive Guard Core. Go back where you came from and continue forward. Ascend the stairs where you can fight another Golem Battle GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Palace Gunner x3 ================================ HP: 840 |Skills: EP: 240 |High Aqua Shot Attribute: Water |High Burst Item: Power Gem | ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 15 Karin LV 15 Raiga LV 15 Crazy Pizza LV 19 ================================ Strategy: Geez I am getting tired of seeing copycat. The two in the back are the weaker versions of the Palace Gunner. Focus on the on the Palace Guard that has the highest HP first. Use Atsuma's Phoenix EX to make this battle a lot simpler. Afterwards have him use Flare Rush if the Palace Guard is in range, have Crazy Pizza use Flare Blow also. Keep an eye on the HP of both and if they get low have Karin heal them when she's not using Poison Mist to poison the Palace Gunner. Raiga can use whatever attack you feel is stronger. ================================ After the battle you obtain Palace Gun core. Descend the stairs and take a right, follow the path and you will see stairs leading down to a chest containing 1000 TB, go back up and enter the door to ============================================ Port Station ============================================ Just go up the stairs to the second floor and go left. When you see the monorail go to the right and snag at the end a chest containing 1000 TB. Go back and follow the monorail along its left side to exit back to ============================================ Port City ============================================ Nothing of interest here, just go straight and enter the door to ============================================ School Area ============================================ Follow the tracks straight ignoring the path on your right, grab the 500 TB from chest at the end, then head back and follow the path north to ============================================ Enchant University ============================================ Enemies: [WT]Knight Servant, [WT]Lady Azlight, [LI] Mage Guardian, [WT]Plant Guardian, [WI]Sleepnil, [D]Spooky Boo Boss: None Golem Battle: [WT]Lady Azlight, [WI]Sleepnil, [D]Spooky Boo Items: 1000TB, Azlight Core, Plione Core, Sleepnil Core, Spooky Boo Core Key Items: None Chests: 1 ============================================ South Hall ============================================ The University is still a mess, just follow the same path as before from way back. Exit to find yourself back once more in the ============================================ Cafeteria ============================================ When in control head straight along the outer area until you find small garden surrounded by fence, examine it and obtain Plione Core, now head to the Shop Crystal and do some Synthesis if you want. Follow the southern wall of the actual cafeteria building west, at the end of the path you will find a Golem Battle GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Lady Azlight ================================ HP: 1050 |Skills: EP: 190 |Ice Sonic Attribute: Water |Cure Voice Item: Mind Gem |Protection Link ================================ Knight Servant x3 ================================ HP: 250 |Skills: EP: 116 |High Blade Attribute: Water |X Cutter Item: Power Gem | ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 16 Karin LV 16 Raiga LV 16 Rio Mimoza LV 16 ================================ Strategy: The Lady Azlight has a ton of HP, she also comes with three Knight Servants to back her up. Before the battle try to have enough of your EX Gauge filled so Atsuma can use Phoenix several times. Start the battle off with using Phoenix with Atsuma hopefully this will kill off all the Knight Servants and take a nice big chunk of HP off Lady Azlight. Once they are out of the way start working on the Lady Azlight, remember she has a large amount of HP, almost as much as some earlier bosses. Have Raiga and Karin use their most powerful skills while Rio Mimoza acts as the primary healer for this fight. Keep an eye on Atsuma's HP because her Ice Sonic skill did around 205 damage to him. ================================ After the battle you obtain Azlight Core, work your way back to the Shop Crystal. Once there if you check out the other side of the fallen bridge debris you will find another Golem Battle GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Spooky Boo x4 ================================ HP: 354 |Skills: EP: 201 |Gravity Attribute: Dark |EP Drain Item: Mind Gem |Body Attack ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 16 Karin LV 16 Raiga LV 16 Rio Mimoza LV 16 ================================ Strategy: This guy will come with three weaker versions of himself. If you have anything left in the EX Gauge have Karin use Lohengrin and try to kill off the three weaker ones first they have 184 HP so it shouldn't be too hard to kill them with it boosted. Once the three weaker ones are out of the way focus your attacks on the last one until he chokes healing when needed if at all. ================================ After the battle you obtain Spooky Boo Core. Synthesize the two Golem Cores if you want, when finished head into the cafeteria building and up the stairs. ============================================ Tower Corridor ============================================ Just follow the hallway to the next set of stairs because there's nothing of interest here. ============================================ Library ============================================ Head forward down the hall and through the only doors in this hallway to get a scene. Navigate down the path until you get another scene, move forward down the path for another scene, save up but before you enter the magic circle look along the west wall for ladder which is still intact and take it up to find two more ladders that lead down into dead end areas. One area has a chest for 1000TB and the other leads to a Golem Battle. ================================ Sleepnil x4 ================================ HP: 360 |Skills: EP: | Attribute: Wind | Item: | ================================ Party: ================================ Strategy: ================================ You receive the Sleepnil core upon defeating, now that you are finished here go back to the magic circle. ============================================ Magic Laboratory ============================================ Enemies: [D]Existence, [D]Knight Grenadier, [WI]NB Destroyer, [D]Rat the Ripper, [D]Spooky Boo Boss: [D]Cerberus, [D]Knight Avei, [D]Kou Golem Battle: None Items: 3000 TB, Cerberus Core Skills: EX Stun Bead Flare, High Power Accel, Ranged +20% Key Items: None Chests: 2 ============================================ Transporter Block ============================================ Just proceed north to the next area. ============================================ Central Block ============================================ Go north and open the two chests directly in front of you to get 3000 TB and High Power Accel for Raiga. Examine the Recharge Station and Shop Crystal if you want. The Central Block is a good area to level your characters and gain SP to increase their parameters. Gain levels until you're main party are at least 20. When done proceed north to ============================================ Clinic Block ============================================ When in control move north and watch the scenes and be prepared for a very tough fight. EN GARDE! BOSS BATTLE ================================ Cerberus ================================ HP: 1600 |Skills: EP: 300 |Mega Hell Fang Attribute: Dark |High Hell Fang TB: 500 |Hell Fang EXP: 1800 | SP: 1525 | Skill: EX Stun Bead Flare | Ranged +20% | Item: Power Gem | Speed Gem | ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 20 Karin LV 20 Raiga LV 20 Mage Guardian LV 19 ================================ Strategy: Cerberus's skills all target across so try not to have more than two characters together, all the skills do around 125-300+ damage to any character they hit. If you brought the Mage Guardian or some other Light attribute Golem then this battle will be easier, just keep an eye on the Golem's HP at all times. I suggest placing Atsuma and Raiga in the front row while Karin is in the middle and the Golem is in the very back. I said Karin in the middle because she has the healing skills. I suggest only using the EX Gauge to execute Levatane, you're going to want have some of the Gauge left because you will be fighting another Boss shortly. Raiga should use Levatane or High Power Accel on himself and Atsuma should use High Charge, these skills will boost their Parameters up making it easier for them to deal more damage. Cerberus has a lot of HP to go through. Use combination attacks when they become available and make use of Karin's EP Drain Dance. Finally be sure to keep everyone's HP up especially any Light attribute Golem. ================================ Watch some scenes. You obtain EX Stun Bead Flare for Atsuma, Cerberus Core, and Ranged +20% skill. PREPARE YOURSELF! BOSS BATTLE ============================================= Kou ============================================= HP: 2150 |Skills: |EX: EP: 1000 |Servant Call |Pandemonium Attribute: Dark |High Dark Bolt | TB: 5580 | | EXP: 2480 | | SP: 2690 | | Skill: None | | Item: Mind Gem | | ============================================= Knight Avei ============================================= HP: 300 |Skills: EP: 161 |Protection Attribute: Dark |HP Drain TB: 0 |High Barrier EXP: 0 | SP: 0 | Skill: None | Item: None | ============================================== Party: Atsuma LV 20 Karin LV 20 Raiga LV 20 Mage Guardian LV 19 =============================================== Strategy: Kou can summon up to three golems on the field. When he does he will sacrifice them to execute Pandemonium so I suggest killing off any Knight Avei he summons to prevent him from using that move. This also prevents the Knights from casting any buffs. When the battle begins move your Golem to the back and have it use it's Light based attack skill. Have Atsuma use High Charge on himself first before any attacking and Raiga can use Levatane or High Power Accel. EP Drain Dance is going to be a lifesaver in this battle, have Karin use it and drain Kou's EP. Have her heal when someone needs it. Remember to kill off any Knight Avei that are summoned and the battle should be fairly easy. It took me 13 Turns to beat Kou and his cronies. ================================ After the battle watch some more scenes. Afterwards you will be back in ============================================ London City ============================================ Enemies: None Golem Battle: None Items: None Skills: Recover Body Key Items: None Chests: 0 ============================================ Bar ============================================ When the scenes are finished you will obtain Recover Body for Atsuma. Leave the bar. ============================================ Inner City ============================================ Some scenes play. Check out the Shop Crystal it has a new inventory: London City (Revisit) Items: Curing Powder 80 TB God's Nectar 800 TB Liquid Ether 70 TB God's Liquid 680 TB Recovery Powder 450 TB Return Powder 650 TB Release Ether 400 TB God's Vigor 1000 TB Skill Gem 1200 TB Power Gem 150 TB Mind Gem 150 TB Speed Gem 150 TB Skills: Mega Blow 7900 TB Mega Flare Wave 8800 TB High Shot 2500 TB No-Barrier Shot 2100 TB Mega Shoot 9500 TB High Cure Dance 4600 TB High Earth Cloud 5200 TB Support +20% 4500 TB Core Material: Silver Gun Core 4200 TB Assassin Core 2900 TB Belladonna Core 6900 TB Ripper Core 3500 TB Raging Core 12000 TB Dianotitus Core 5800 TB Sahagin Core 2800 TB Hobgoblin Core 3000 TB Duende Core 2500 TB London City Casino has new prizes to exchange for as well. ============================================ London City Casino (Revisit) ============================================ Rodeo Leg Core 10000 Chips Smash Sword Core 10000 Chips Recovery Powder 120 Chips Ice Guardian Core 2000 Chips Protection Accel 1200 Chips Participate some more in the Golem Tournament if you want, you should be able to complete up to the 19th battle. Leave the 20th for later. Remember the Easy TB trick. ============================================ If you did the easy TB trick then you should have enough to buy everything that's new in the Shop Crystal, you should also have enough Chips in the casino to get everything there as well. Some of the new stuff will have a ??? next to Equipped/Used By, don't ignore when buying because you will be using them soon enough. At this point in time I increased the parameters of Atsuma, Karin, and Raiga until the next increase cost 3600 SP. If you have been following the FAQ you should have 42 Golems Synthesized. I did the same thing as what I did to Atsuma, Karin, and Raiga to the Golems that I thought I would use the most. If you tried to increase the parameters of all 42 to 3600 SP, it would cost 100,800 TB total per a Golem assuming you haven't increased their parameters prior, to buy the 84 Skill Gems you need to get the required SP. Your total expenses would be 4,233,600 TB. Go ahead and do it if you want, I won't stop you. When finished head up the stairs. ============================================ London City Grand Steps ============================================ Go left this time towards the castle and speak with the any of the two guards standing in front for a scene. When in control go all the way up the long flight of stairs and enter ============================================ London Castle ============================================ Enemies: None Boss: None Golem Battle: None Items: 1000 TB Skills: None Key Items: None Chests: 1 ============================================ Grand Hall ============================================ Once inside watch the scene. When in control again move to the right of the Grand Staircase and snag the chest tucked away in the corner for 1000 TB. Now proceed west and push the switch to open a hidden path to the ============================================ Mechanics Area ============================================ Follow the path and examine the Recharge Station if you so desire and continue along climbing up the ladder and using the Enchant Wire to get across to the other side, at the end of the path open the door to arrive at ============================================ Nordnia Mines ============================================ Enemies: [E]Adaplant, [D]Azriel, [E]Amazonia, [F]Berserker, [E]Earth Guardian, [D]Existence, [D]Garnet Kitty, [LI]Plione, [D]Silent Assassin Boss: [F]Minotaur Golem Battle: [D]Azriel, [F]Jure Crimson, [WI]NB Destroyer Items: 2000 TB, 4000 TB, Azriel Core, Crimson Core, Destroyer Core, Power Gem x5, Mind Gem x5, Speed Gem x4 Skills: Clear Dance, Negate Knockback, Poison Blade Key Items: None Chests: 4 ============================================ Gorge ============================================ When you arrive a scene will play. Afterwards go up stairs and ignore the exit and follow the right edge of the stairs to some boxes that contain a Power Gem go back and through the exit you ignored before. Just follow the path until you get a scene. There's a Shop Crystal here so buy from it if you didn't get everything when you were still in London City. Enter the building in front of the Shop Crystal and break all the boxes in here for Mind Gem x5, Power Gem x4, and Speed Gem x4. Exit the building and go down the path along its left side and enter another room. In this room you will find a chest containing Poison Blade for Raiga and a Golem Battle GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Jure Crimson ================================ HP: 1050 |Skills: EP: 223 |Flare Bolt Attribute: Fire |No Barrier Touch Item: Mind Gem |No Protect Touch ================================ Existence x3 ================================ HP: 320 |Skills: EP: 172 |Gravity Breath Attribute: Dark |Dark Breath Item: Mind Gem | ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 20 Karin LV 20 Raiga LV 20 Mage Guardian LV 19 ================================ Strategy: Jure Crimson is a Fire attribute so Karin should be able to deal good damage to it. Take care of the three Existences using the Mage Guardian's Light skills. Have Karin only focus on the Jure Crimson and keep her HP up, Jure Crimson's Flare Bolt did 258 damage to Karin. Atsuma and Raiga can help either of the other two. It should be an easy fight. ================================ After the battle you obtain Crimson Core. Now it's time to head into the mines, go back to the Shop Crystal, synthesize that Jure Crimson and enter the tunnel across into ============================================ Abandoned Mine ============================================ Proceed forward for a scene. Take the mine cart down and get an amusing scene. Head west for another scene. Afterwards go east to Enchant Wire target and go across, follow the tracks down to a chest containing 2000 TB, head back and go down the slope to the right. At the bottom you will see two entrances the one on the right is a dead end and has a Golem Battle GOLEM BATTLE ================================ NB Destroyer x4 ================================ HP: 500 |Skills: EP: 236 |Burst Attribute: Wind |Aero Burst Item: Power Gem |Shot ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 20 Karin LV 20 Raiga LV 20 Amazonia LV 20 ================================ Strategy: Bring Amazonia or some other Earth attribute Golem with Earth based skills. Have Raiga use High Earth Shake or High Earth Cloud, whichever skill you have equipped. Have your Earth Golem use its strongest skills. Atsuma and Karin can do whatever, though if any characters HP gets low heal them. Between Raiga and the Golem you should be able to make short work of these fools. ================================ After the battle you obtain Destroyer Core. Now go through the other entrance and the follow the path down and go through the wooden gate where you will find another Golem Battle GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Azriel ================================ HP: 510 |Skills: EP: 234 |Dark Sonic Attribute: Dark |No-Protect Sonic Item: Mind Gem |HP Drain Voice Speed Gem |Cure Voice ================================ Lord Onyx x3 ================================ HP: 392 |Skills: EP: 157 |High Blade Attribute: Dark |Impulse Item: Power Gem | ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 20 Karin LV 20 Raiga LV 20 Seraphim LV 40 ================================ Strategy: Bring in a Light attribute Golem with Light Based skills I suggest either Mage Guardian or Seraphim if you bought him. Every enemy in this battle has an attribute of Dark. Have Seraphim use its Light based skills while your characters use skills that target multiple enemies at once. If you have any of the EX Gauge filled then you can Atsuma's or Karin's EX Skill. Seeing as how Seraphim is at level 40, double my character's levels, this fight was extremely easy. ================================ After the battle you obtain Azriel Core. Head back up the slope and go right for a scene. When you gain control again move forward to the mine cart but ignore it for now and follow the tracks down to loot a chest for Negate Knockback skill. Now head back and take the mine cart. Down here if you follow the tracks east you will come across Divine Turtle, Holy Beast Guardian #2. You aren't strong enough to bet him so make a note of his location and come back later. Head back west and then go south and open a chest for 4000 TB. Proceed north and climb up the ladder and take mine cart back to where you first rode down, flip the switch and take the mine cart. Use the Shop Crystal if want then save your game and head down west from the Shop Crystal watch the scene. Battle time! BOSS BATTLE ================================ Minotaur ================================ HP: 1800 |Skills: EP: 444 |High Quake Attribute: Fire |Flare Crush TB: 600 | EXP: 2500 | SP: 1650 | Skill: Clear Dance | Item: Power Gem | ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 22 Karin LV 22 Raiga LV 22 Silent Assassin LV 21 ================================ Strategy: Minotaur only has two Skills at his disposal. I recommend bringing Silent Assassin with you only because he has Aqua Impulse and will be able to inflict double damage on the Minotaur without receiving double in return. Place Karin in the very back so she can't be hit by Flare Crush. Atsuma should be placed up front with Karin behind him the in the back row and Silent Assassin in the middle row, Raiga can be placed anywhere in the middle row provided that his High Earth Cloud or Slash can still hit the Minotaur. Keep in mind that if you do this all your characters will be hit by High Quake, but that shouldn't be too big of a deal. Have Karin use her EX Skill Lohengrin if you can otherwise use Poison Mist, Atsuma should use High Charge then Mega Blow, Raiga should use Levatane then either High Earth Cloud or Slash, while the Silent Assassin should use Aqua Impulse. Heal your characters when necessary and this should be an easy boss. ================================ After the battle you obtain Clear Dance skill for Karin, follow the small tunnel to the end and enter the door. ============================================ Dolmen Ruins ============================================ Enemies: [E]Green Knight, [E]Green Lancer, [WT]Knight Servant, [LI]Mage Guardian, [E]Royal Bone, [D]Silent Assassin Boss: [WI]Ouka, [WI]Yuki Golem Battle: [E]Royal Bone Items: 500 TB, 1000 TB x2, 2000 TB, Assault Core, Beat Fist Core, God's Nectar, Royal Bone Core, Power Gem x5, Mind Gem x5, Speed Gem x3, Skills: Potshot Key Items: None Chests: 5 ============================================ Exterior ============================================ By the left side of the right building there is a chest open it and you receive 500 TB. Talk to the guy standing in front of the ladder for a scene, afterwards climb up the ladders to the top. Keep moving forward and cross the bridge and climb down, item hunting time. Break the boxes in front of you for a Mind Gem, from here open your map and head east to see two tents, break the boxes here for a Power Gem and search behind the tents at the edge for a chest containing 1000 TB. Head north from here to the ruins edge and break another set of boxes for a Speed Gem. Finally head south and behind the Gondola break open more boxes for another Mind Gem. Take the gondola down to the ============================================ Main Chamber ============================================ Speak with the two men by the gondola for a scene. Break the boxes along the south wall for a Mind Gem. Examine the Recharge Station and Shop Crystal by the red Magicore in the center. Break open the boxes by the staircase on the north wall for a Power Gem. Go up the stairs or use the Enchant Wire and head east breaking boxes and barrels along the way for a Power Gem and Speed Gem, and open the chest at the end containing 2000 TB. Go back the stairs and take the door along the north wall ============================================ Dormitory ============================================ Along the north wall in an alcove break some boxes for a Power Gem, climb up the ladder along the west side, and open the chest to obtain Potshot skill for Yuki, break all the barrels for a Speed Gem, now use the Enchant Wire to get across to the east side where a Golem Battle waits. Note: To make this battle easier you can wait until Yuki is in the party and have her equip No-Barrier Shot, which will negate the Royal Bone's Soldier's Shield effect when she uses it. GOLEM BATTLE ================================ Royal Bone x3 ================================ HP: 820 |Skills: EP: 320 |Spear Attribute: Earth |Soldier's Shield Item: Power Gem |Earth Spike ================================ Party: Atsuma LV 2
