So... you may recognize me by the fact I did a Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings
guide in addition to this one. Or you may recognize me by the fact I've wasted
like, weeks and months of my life writing guides for this awesome site. Or
you might recognize me by the fact I'm a moron. Or... you may not recognize me
at all. Yeah, some people don't, so for those of you who don't... the name's
Richard "Gbness" Beast, and I'm just a normal guy who likes making the
experience with these games better for others through guide writing, since,
you know, I love almost all the games I write for myself.
Let me diverge and talk about this game... it's great, especially when you
get into the second disc. Seriously, I don't know if it surpasses Origins or
not, but I'd check it out and get far into it. Yeah, the beginning's slow,
but RPGs these days are not capable of starting fast, so you can forgive
that. But anyway, the layout for this guide is simple enough, especially if
you've seen my other stuff. Introduction and stuff, basics which are split up,
characters which includes special technique descriptions, walkthrough split
into two for discs, then side quests, then magnus in general, which will
include a list, upgrade list, and a list of technique combos for battle.
Then the bestiary is bosses listed at the back for your convenience, the
field guide for enemies, frequently asked questions, and conclusion. So enjoy
this game. I know I did.

You are NOT permitted to put this FAQ on your site without my permission first.
All you have to do is email me or IM me saying you want this FAQ on your site,
then you can tell me your site and the chance is high that I'll let you. But if
you put this FAQ on your site without my permission I swear you will regret it.
If I let you, not ONE word should be changed from this FAQ! NOT ONE! Got it?
Good. Also, make sure that no money is involved. If you want this FAQ to be sold
on eBay, then just forget about it, man. And don't sell this guide either, or
pay people to use it, or you'll be in such big trouble you don't want to think.
Another little note is that I will not have this guide hosted on many other web
sites besides GameNotOver, GameFAQs, IGN, and Neoseeker. You need full-on
permission if it's not one of the four above sites. I am sick of people ripping
me off (I have been ripped off three times in the past), so if I don't like your
site, I won't let my guide be posted on it. I am sorry, but this is how it has
to be. If you ask politely and I like your site, you will definitely have the

First of all, feel free to check out the stuff I've written on GameFAQs. Those
include a guide for Baten Kaitos, a few other sorted RPGs, and tons of random
PSX games. Honor to the PSX, yanno? Hopefully, that'll be added with awesome
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and Disgaea 2 guides. As you might be able to
guess, I'm a large RPG fan and writer.
Alright, enough shameless advertisement about me. You can e-mail me if there is
a question you wish to ask that hasn't been answered in the guide, but I REALLY
don't want to bother answering questions that have already been done, answered,
and done again in the guide, if it isn't too much trouble. Feel free to tell me
if there's something I've forgotten, however.
My e-mail address is richard_power1000 [at] yahoo [dot] com. Except, replace the
[at] and spaces with a "@" symbol and the [dot] and spaces with a period; I have
to write like that so I don't get a dozen spam bots e-mailing me and getting me
viruses. Just be polite in the e-mail, don't talk like "omg wtf rich ur gides r
t3h su><0rz & how du i go frm dsq", and don't ask something that's already been
answered in the guide, and I'll respond.
And don't bother sending things like:
"You friggin' idiot. Your guides suck, you suck, and everything about you
sucks. DIE DIE DIE!"
"BURN IN THE FLAMES OF HELL, YOU STUPID RETARD!!!"
"What the hell did you think you were doing writing all that garbage, you piece
of crap?
"I hope you fall down the stairs and break every bone in your body!"
"u su><0rz, eVrYtInG BoUt u sUx, dIe ass!!!!!!1"
I will laugh at such e-mails and delete them. So... if you're not just playing
a friendly joke on me or something, don't bother with that crap cos I've been
through with it too much.
Okay, that's enough for that. My AIM name is rbeast288; sorry, I don't have MSN

like chatting with people, but try not to overdo it on AIM if I add you to my

~-~ ~-~ ~-~ IV. Basics ~-~ ~-~ ~-~
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Yeah, this game is such a beast that I even separated the game basics section
into outside battle... and inside battle. Worship moi. But it's coming soon, I
assure you.
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
IVa. Inside Battle
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
I can and will attempt to explain this as simply yet as precisely as possible,
m'kay? Okay, so the battle is played out with cards, just like Eternal Wings,
gotcha? It's a lot different though. For one thing, you do not use weapons to
attack and such -- you just have weak attack, medium attack, and strong attack.
There are five kinds of cards: normal attacks, special skills for the three
characters, stratagems (functions like escaping), armor, and items such as
Potions which will heal your HP.
Everything depends on your class, though. See, we have a place called the
Endmost Bethel where you can increase your class level, and that will allow
you to hold more cards at a time (up to a maximum of 60 in a deck), carry more
decks, and discard more cards in a turn. That's right, we've got 60 max and
you can use any of seven displayed up front, and discard anywhere from 1-8 if
you don't want to use them... it all depends on your class. Plus you can see
but not use the eighth card, get something good depending on Sagi's relation
with his guardian spirit, and rearrange them with the + Control Pad.
As you use more cards, you will gain MP, and you need MP to use specials for
characters, as well as artifact items with exceptionally good effects. The
MP simply gets charged in levels from 1 to 5, and if your class level is high
enough, then at level 5 you can press the Y Button to enter MP Burst, which
allows you to use cards freely without delay for one turn, and can be quite,
quite useful, even if afterwards MP will charge more slowly. And speaking of
which, we also have TP, which you basically get more of, depending on how long
your card combos are (i.e., how many you use in one combo). The more TP you
have, the higher your class level can go.
Which brings me to spirit numbers. There are weak attacks (level 1), medium
attacks (level 2), strong attacks (level 3), finishers with a level depending
on strength (level 4-6), and two finishers that are particularly powerful
(level 7). And there's also armor and weapons which can be used before to
increase defense or attack power (absolutely essential, level 0). Anything that
doesn't have a spirit number takes an entire turn to use, such as potions and
other such items. And you have to increase the spirit number of the cards in
the combo that you use as you go. Example, you can't go from level one to
another level one, or a level three to a level two. Making sense?
However, we have "relay combos", because we have three characters. Let's say
you have one character do a spirit number combo going from 1 and finally
ending at 6, and you have a level one card in there. That will allow another
character to continue the combo if you're quick enough. Throw in a weapon or
armor really fast and then get that level 1 card on, and it can keep going,
up to what I believe is a maximum of 25 cards in one combo, and what converts
to major kickassery. And that's part of how you're going to have to win later
boss fights which get crazy hard.
Finally another note. I mentioned how you get special skills for characters
earlier, dig? However, if you use certain ones which might include a certain
combination beforehand in the same combo, you will create what is called an
EX Combo. Example: use Sagi's Scension and Ascension together and you'll get
Scension Blitz, which is 150% stronger than just the two alone. Not only that,
but use a Weak Attack B or Strong Attack B in a full combo, and you get
Anti-Scension Blitz or True Scension Blitz, which is I think 200% stronger.
And let's not even get into the ultimate combos, you can discover those for
yourself. ;] That's pretty much it. Get used to it and you'll probably like
this combat system.
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
IVb. Outside Battle
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-
Well to be honest I'm not sure exactly what there is to say about out of battle
basics. You control Sagi, and move from one place to another interacting with
people like any other RPG. Only big difference from anything else is that you
can press 'B' in this case and use what's called the heartwing dash to move a
lot faster, except a bar appears at the top, and when it fills all the way up,
Sagi will be stunned and walk very slowly for a short while, plus if you run
into battles along the way, you're going to be delayed.
As I've already told you about, this game uses what's called the magnus system,
in that to do basic functions and side quests and whatnot, you need to "draw
the essence of something". Basically you press A to examine stuff, and Sagi
will prompt you to draw the magna essence of it. You do that into one of your
blank magnus, and then you can release it by pressing X and using the C-stick
to scroll through it. A lot of stuff reacts in weird ways with others, so play
around with it. That's about all there is to say. Battles are not random, if
that makes you happy to know.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
~-~ ~-~ ~-~ V. Characters ~-~ ~-~ ~-~
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Yep, this is a listing of each and every single one of the trio in this game.
Should be fairly self explanatory.
~-~ SAGI ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Sagi is a spiriter and for the early parts of the game a member of the Dark
Service of the Alfard Empire who eventually finds his way working under the
Quaestor Verus. While I'm not going to give him the coolness factor of Kalas,
he's fairly intimidating when he gets mad enough (happens a lot in Disc 2),
but he'll do pretty much anything for his mom, Gena. Besides being a spiriter,
he's a swordsman and seems to have a very strong connection to Malpercio and
his afterlings, and is prone to headaches and weird dreams. And believe it or
not, Sagi is actually 15. You read that right.
-> Scension - Sagi's default attack and the level one necessary for his
ultimate finisher anyway; is basically just a spiral attack
-> Cliffsunder - found in the Emperor's Residence; consists of a sword slash
followed by the descent of a beam, only has one EX Combo
-> Heavenfall - found in the Botein Lake; is basically just a jump in the
air and landing with an explosion, and leads to probably the
first nice EX Combo
-> Icebloom - dropped by the Sandfeeder, Sagi's first level two finisher;
creates a large icicle which then shatters; can be combined with
Heavenfall for the first good EX Combo, Heavenly Bloom
-> Red Padma - found in Azha second trip, charges Sagi's fist with fires and
pummels
-> Ascension - found in the Cloud Passage and creates two whirlwinds instead
of one, nice
-> Rime Blade - dropped by Valara/Nasca/Hueghes, Sagi's first level three
finisher which is a sweet series of frigid attacks
-> Transcension - dropped by the Afterling in the Veinroots, basically makes
one whirlwind stronger
-> Blast Tooth - dropped by the Hearteater, makes Sagi jump in the air and
land... while ablaze
-> Godling's Rapture - automatically received in the Vega Building Site when
the Guardian Spirit merges; one of two level four
finishers, consisting of a series of thrusts which can
be chained with the Scension attacks for the game's
strongest EX Combo
~-~ GUILLO ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Guillo is a puppet who Sagi found once, buried in the Nusakan Thornwood. First
of all I refer to Guillo as a "he", but he's actually the most androgynous
character I've ever seen... two voices, anyone? Whatever, you'll learn about
that later. He looks like a paramachina but can talk and think for himself,
and attacks with powerful magic. He's by far the most interesting of the trio
in my opinion, and is also by far the most hilarious character in the entire
game. "I've seen braver fantails guarding their ducklings!"
-> Firewheel - Guillo's default attack; sends a large sphere of fire hurling
at the enemy
-> Fulgadrum - dropped by Giacomo in Mintaka; sends a large sphere of
lightning straight at the enemy
-> Icefan - found in the Thornwood; basically shoots a wave of ice into the
air to hit all enemies
-> Ghostarrow - found really late, in the Cloud Passage, and yes it is a
level one finisher; sends a holy arrow packing at the enemy
-> Levinsnake's Rise - dropped by Valara in Sheratan; Guillo's and the game's
first level two finisher, sends a bunch of beams flying
-> Twin Ice Auger - found in the Lava Caves, shoots forward two large icebergs
at a target
-> Wickedwing Revels - dropped by the Afterling in Nunki Valley; Guillo's
coolest level two because he goes all nuts and demonic
with dark waves of energy
-> Spirilight Quiver - found in the Zaurak Keep and is indeed a level two
finisher and another cool one actually; sends a large
holy javelin flying at the enemy
-> Sigil Cry - found in the Zaurak Keep and is indeed a level two finisher
because Guillo SURE needed a lot more of those; slides a cold
blue sigil to slice through an enemy party
-> Empyreal Wildfire - yes, this is seriously a level three finisher and is
obviously the first one by beating the Lord of Lava
Caves, and just sends a beam of fire at the enemy
-> Heavenlapse - for the second you seriously do have to beat the Holoholo
Bird... what a margin, but whatever... hail! bah, it's just
some balls of fire falling from the sky
-> Lightendrake's Drop - dropped by the Afterling in the Veinroots; just
drops some lightning from the sky, nothing special
-> Shadowflame Engine - dropped by Rudra in the Zaurak Keep, creates a big
circle of dark ghoulish energy
-> Zeniver Cascade - dropped by... the spoilerific boss in Greater Mintaka's
craze cycle out to the Battlefields of Atria, breaks up
an iceberg and sends cold winds packing
-> Fellstar Gleam - dropped by Seginus, sends a lance down, followed by some
shots off of fire, and an explosion and I just love
Guillo's voice acting on it
-> Aphelion Dustwake - dropped by Wiseman and sends forth a comet which
results in a new ice age; my recommendation is since
it is a level four special, get it going with Icefan,
Sigil Cry, and Zeniver Cascade, for another incredible
EX Combo
~-~ MILLY ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Milliarde, who is more commonly referred to as Milly, is a girl who crashes the
party at Mintaka to find Sagi and Guillo within inches of their lives, yet
despite having formidable strength, portrays herself as just an innocent,
formerly sheltered girl who ran away from home and wants to see the outside
world. She can be a bit rambunctious but is actually very sweet, plus she has
a crush on Sagi, obviously. Her fighting style is quick and fierce, allowing
her to link one weapon, six attacks, and three specials.
-> Swallowtail - Milly's default attack, which is basically an uppercut, then
a lower kick
-> Sevenstar Dust - dropped by the Hideous Beast in the Botein Like, hits
about seven times with pure electricity
-> Emerald Thrush - found in the Sandfeeder's Nest, creates two large icicle
kicks
-> Diamond Drop - Milly's first level two finisher, found in the Lava Caves,
sends a huge icicle down
-> Arabesque - dropped by the Lord of the Lava Caves, sends Milly's club
flying at all enemies
-> Rising Condor - found in Nunki Valley, as the name suggests, Milly just
sends an enemy into the air for lightning damage
-> Phoenix Dive - dropped by Shanath as is really Milly's first level three
special, in an opposite of Rising Condor, jumps into the
air and sends a large explosion down
-> Open Your Eyes - dropped by Mange-Roches in Nekkar, building up power and
sending electricity in all directions; and no, Milly does
not have a level four finisher
-> Pegasus Jump - found in Greater Mintaka, throwing in a jump head kick right
after a level one physical
-> Mirage Turn - found in the Holoholo Jungle, throws a 100% accuracy attack
after a level one physical
-> Canyon Wind - found in Nashira, sends a flurry of attacks in after a level
two physical
-> Rabbit Dash - found in Pherkad, charges and knocks an enemy down after a
level three physical

Okay, time to get started on the story that unfolded twenty years before the
original Baten Kaitos. Yes, this game rocks. But anyway, a few notes as par
usual:
-> For boss strategies, the exact HP is an estimate. This game is a biotch and
refuses to give exact totals. It won't be off by like 20,000, but I can't
guarantee exact precision.
-> As usual, there are spoilers to be found here, so don't read ahead of where
you are and then approach me on the street with a shotgun... cuz that would
be bad.
-> I'm a clown. I joke.
And with that, let's go.
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
VIa. Dark Service HQ
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
- Magnus: Will, Leather Vest, Herb, Magnus Pack Coupon
As the game begins, the main character, Sagi, wakes up from a nightmare. And
although this is spelled out frequently, the person who's really "you" is
Sagi's Guardian Spirit, whom I just call Rich because I'm biased and think it's
an awesome name (mainly because it's my name), but hey, the first thing you get
to do is pick your name, so whatever. You'll also notice your ability to do
the "heartwing" dash, i.e. hold the B button down and run faster plus scale
cliffs, but that's another matter entirely. Turns out there's a meeting going
on in the middle of the night, so no sleep for you.
When you get up, grab the WILL Magnus on the left and head outside, and all
you really need to do now is head up the stairs, and once you're there go in
the room just to the right, and get the LEATHER VEST that's there. Just a word
about those: you've currently got the Punk Knife and two Leather Vests for
Sagi (and the whole party because everybody uses the same deck), which are "0"
cards that can be used before a combo for added offense/defense. Rather useful
I'd say.
Now head to the room to the right of that where the meeting is taking place.
Turns out the mission is an assassination on Emperor Olgan. Agree with Sagi
when he talks to you, and notice that the woman there is eyeing him. Hmmm.
Anyway, try to head out and you'll get eight blank magnus, but right after
that, the control panel lights itself on fire. That's a problem; get some
Stale Water in the barrel to the right and talk to the guard nearby to douse
it. You'll receive a HERB for your lack of troubles.
Head outside to find that woman from earlier, telling Sagi to keep a low
profile, and as it turns out some Dark Servicemen run out of the room behind
and start a fight. This is the first battle in the game, and as you can
imagine it's relatively easy. Just get some combos going and use Scension for
some nice damage here and there, and you're fine. Of course, the captain will
break the fight up when you're done, so now it's time to get your paramachina
and go.
Go downstairs and then to the left, and examine the locker on the right that
seems to be a bit blueish/aquaish, and meet Sagi's paramachina, Guillo, who
is one of the most hilarious characters ever, but we'll get to that all in
good time. Just head upstairs from there and you'll get attacked by some more
Dark Servicemen, and Guillo will help out in the background, but they're no
harder than everyone else. When you're done there, head to the right and try to
leave.
A guy will stop you and ask you to light the torches on the way, which is a
rather easy task. Just go into any room you see and get four eesences of Flame
from the lights, then head out and you'll find two torches on the upper floor
(one is really hard to see because it's near the guy) and two on the lower.
When you're done lighting 'em up, you'll get a MAGNUS PACK COUPON which can be
used at a shop. Nothing here, so now head up and out to the mission.
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
VIb. Emperor's Residence
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
- Magnus: Toxic Dumpling, Flash Dagger, Cliffsunder
So basically that woman who has eyeing Sagi is named Valara, and seems to
dislike spiriters. Speaking of which, Sagi is placed in command because of
that. After Valara gets done badmouthing you, talk to the Dark Servicemen
right behind, and then Sagi cuts through the trees to enter into the back
entrance of the Emperor's Residence. Fight off the guards, which is no
problem since you have Guillo, who both can heal you and is much stronger
than Sagi. Life is good like that.
And with that, Sagi charges in just ignoring the Magnus there. You'll get used
to that. *sigh* Whatever, head back out and get it for a TOXIC DUMPLING which
I suggest passing up from your deck, and then head in to find you need to
sneak past the cook. Like hell you do, you can just fight him and then get
the Meat Fit For An Emperor Quest Magnus in the center to raise your physical
defense a tiny bit, but oh well, whatever. Head south from that room to enter
the foyer.
With that, head up the stairs on the right and enter the door just there to
find some soldiers over a wounded mechanic. Beat them up to get the valuable
Key to Olgan's Residence, and also get the FLASH DAGGER there which can most
certainly join the Punk Knife. The mechanic is out cold, so just go outside
and get some Stale Water, but while you're at it, enter the room on the left
by using the key, and just go ahead and wake the soldiers up and fight... it
is worth it.
Inside that room, draw the essence of one Chunk of Rubber, and then get as
many Fruits Fit For An Emperor as you can from where the soldiers were, as
they raise your HP by 5, which is nice. When you're done, go back to the
foyer and examine the crestwall to the north, and then head to the right and
pour the Stale Water on the mechanic. Talk to him a bit and then examine the
crestwall outside again, taking out all the soldiers. And with that, douse
some more water on him, and give him the Chunk of Rubber.
He'll gum the crestwall up, so head upstairs and get the CLIFFSUNDER on the
left, which is a special for Sagi. Add it in your deck, save, and barge through
the double doors up front to hear a man inside talking to Olgan. Head inside
to find Olgan is already dead, plus the guy just leaves. And none other than
the Dark Service captain comes in and tells his men to grab Sagi for the death
of the emperor. Yeah, even though he gave the orders right under Lord Baelheit
as the guy's name is. So now... you run.
You'll go outside from there, so now head through the door on the right of the
save point, and you'll go through some sewer-type passage. Feel free to fight
some baddies behind, but be ready to fight a boss right up ahead. Just head
forward one screen, and a large monster will come out and head right for Sagi.
Ready for your first boss?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Hideous Beast
HP : ~600
EXP : 250
Baten Kaitos Origins has some tough bosses, and even this first boss is no
exception to that maxim. First of all, Sagi should have about 250 HP if you
are as I was, but be ready to face this creature's Mountainmaker, which does
about 80 damage to both Sagi and Guillo, the latter of which fights for
himself and is also very useful in throwing out Low Potions to heal a bit of
HP back to you. While the Hideous Beast is indeed slower than you, its combos
are a good 60-80 damage in themselves, so watch it.
Whenever you can, draw the Flash Dagger or even the Punk Knife, and chain
together a combo which ends in Scension or Cliffsunder, even if you have to
discard a bunch of cards beforehand to do so. It'll definitely pay off when
you do about 70-90 damage with your combos themselves, and let's not even
get into Guillo, who is well in his ability to use his Firewheel and
Fulgadrum, which are stronger than Sagi's stuff anyway. Don't hesitate to
use Low Potions when your HP dwindles below 100, and you should be fine.
Eventually, this thing knocks both Sagi and Guillo out anyway.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And after that, Guillo goes berserk and starts ripping this beast to shreds,
but for whatever reason this makes Sagi get a headache and collapse. You'll
get the EXP, TP, and Gald from that battle, as well as a Flame Sword for Sagi
when you're done, but after Sagi gets a few weird visions, you'll awaken in...
somewhere else.
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
VIc. Albali Sandhollow
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
- Magnus: Purple Beans, Flame Mail
Indeed, some strange area of sorts. Sagi sees two guys named Seph and Thoran
there, but he has about as much idea who they are as you, the player, do. So
there's nothing you can do about that, though Guillo's missing which is bad.
Save at the red flower nearby, and let's head up to the right. Do fight both
monsters here though, because they give some nifty EXP. With that, head to the
upper right at last and let me explain something, starting with those giant
red stones.
Most of those have a magnetic pull to them, and if you draw out the Magnetite
Waves the bridges around them will disappear, but if you put the waves in one
that isn't, a bridge will indeed appear. Simple enough, right? Just head up
the path and down the first cliff you can. Gotta love how the heartwings let
you do that instantly. Examine the ravine there and then head back up and over
down to the right to examine the red stone. Inspect and draw the essence of
the waves, and you fall. But you don't break a leg, cuz you have wings.
Head down the cliff and up over to the left and examine the red stone there,
drawing out the Magnetite Waves. Turns out you need to weaken the other side
too, so head back up towards that blue bridge that formed, only for a bird to
swipe the Magnus there! Gah, head up and beat the crap outta that biotch, and
then get the PURPLE BEANS withheld. Now, with that red stone nearby, just
draw out the Magnetite Waves to weaken everything, but before anything else,
head up the ladder there to get the FLAME MAIL.
You're pretty much done now; just head down the path to the right and push
the boulder into the giant red stone nearby, and then head around and up the
path to the left to get to the first screen again. From there, make your way
to the upper right and then to the path to the left, where Sagi refused to
cross earlier. Pour some Magnetite Waves there to form a bridge, and then you
will find the whole of that group from earlier: Seph, Thoran, Pieda, and Ven.
And apparently, a tragedy has occurred.

- Magnus: Fate's Cordial
A truly melancholy and depressing place, this village, huh... no joking, the
music is great for the location, even if in the background I'm sure I'm hearing
the Chesedonia theme from Tales of the Abyss. But that's beside the point.
Right above you is a blue flower which will take you to the Endmost Bethel,
aka this game's church. There you can raise a class, which I STRONGLY suggest
doing if at all possible. Personally, I was able to rise two classes, allowing
me 50 cards and 2 discards, but that's just me. Coincidentally, I had 1337 TP.
I'm hardcore like that.
But on a more serious note, enter the shop which is to the north. You can't
redeem coupons here, but do buy one more of each kind of attack cards. You can
pass on everything else though and move on to your actual mission, which is
to talk to everyone here and see if there are any survivors. As you can see,
they're all disembodied ghosts. But anyway, there are two people right by the
entrance, not to mention Seph. Now head into the house. There's two people at
the table, one standing nearby, and one in the room on the right. Plus Pieda.
Leave that house and head to the left a bit, talking to the person there and
then entering the building. Turns out this family had a baby... talk to Ven,
plus there's two people in the first room, plus to the left are two people,
one of which is the baby. Head out of that house and head a bit north to find
one person right near the center as well as Thoran, plus two people near the
store, and one coming in from the right. After Sagi senses people's... hearts
from the lights, he gets a headache and wakes up in the "real world".
You will now be back in the Emperor's Residence, instantly treated to a tasty
line from Guillo. With that, the group runs, and Valara appears to grab the
beast you killed earlier for some strange reason. But anyway, a man will signal
you to go into a nearby passage, and if you didn't already recognize him, that
is Geldoblame from Baten Kaitos. As shady as ever. But whatever the case, hear
him out, and get the INCREDIBLY important FATE'S CORDIAL nearby, which revives
an incapacitated charactr. Very useful indeed. With that, save and head down
the passage.

- Magnus: Mattress, Taunt, Fate's Cordial, Firewheel, Magna Mix Recipe, Ice
Roue, Herb
Okay, so to start us off you're in a sewer, which in most RPG cases is the
worst possible place you could enter under any circumstance or time of a game,
but this game is merciful and makes it two screens: just head along the path
not bothering with the locked cells, because you lack a key, and then climb
up the ladder to enter the grand and glorious city of Mintaka, which just so
happens to be sunlit. Looks like you're going to have to get your way through
to a skyliner and go to the continent of Hassaleh. No, it wasn't in BK:EW.
Just head a bit to the right, and Guillo will become an active party member,
which is a rather nice thing to have now, since relay combos are now available.
All he adds to do your deck, however, is his finisher Firewheel, a Heat Robe,
and a Sorcery Sophia, which believe it or not is a weapon. But from here, don't
even bother going northeast, as that leads to Lord Baelheit's residence, where
there is nothing, and no, you can't get the Magnus on the roof either. Guess
you gotta head west.
Slash your way past the soldier in front of that house. Recognize it? It's
Lyude's place from Eternal Wings. Talk to the housekeeper on the right twice,
and draw the essence of two Yesterday's News, and she'll give you a MATTRESS
for that. But more importantly, examine the chest on the right after you do
that, and draw the essence of the Machina Oil, which you do need. Now head
south of there until you find a house with a machina parked right in front so
you can't get in. Get the solution?
That's right, give the guy the Machina Oil and he'll zoom off, giving you a
TAUNT Magnus. There's nothing to see by going to the right, so just enter the
house and go up the stairs to find yourself on the upper sections of Mintaka.
From there, head up and across the northeast pathway to come to a FATE'S
CORDIAL on the top of Baelheit's house. That's right, you need a lot of those
if you can get 'em. Now head back to the left and down the path, then heading
to the right to get a FIREWHEEL. Yeah, you'll get a ton of every special, trust
me.
Talk to the kid there, and you can trade some Magnus with him, which isn't a
bad idea. Personally, for my Toxic Dumpling, Mattress, and Herb, I got a
Thunder Roue for Guillo (18 attack power compared to the Sorcery Sophia's 10)
and two Full Plates (22 defense compared to a Leather Vest's 12). Good idea,
am I right? Whatever, now enter the building nearby and examine the chests to
the right for a MAGNA MIX RECIPE. You might also consider drawing the essence
of the Spark Shroom there.
Now head back north, and it's time to cross the rooftops again to get out of
this place. Just head back up north and to the right across Baelheit's roof
again, and then south across the structures. In the next screen, head down and
then go north there to get the ICE ROUE for Guillo... and a save point. Guess
what that means. Head down and you will have to fight four battles, the fourth
of which some chick will come in and help. And then you've got a fifth... which
is a rather challenging boss.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Giacomo
HP : ~1600
EXP : 500
Okay, let me cue you in for this one. If you are unprepared or don't know
what the hell you're doing in combat yet, Giacomo will kick your ass. And
not just a gentle kick; he will pummel your rear end into the ground swiftly
and decisively, spit on its decayed remnants, and laugh at your funeral. Get
the point? I absolutely guarantee if you still aren't used to battles, then
despite only being 13 (and being voiced by the same guy who did Luke and
Asch in Tales of the Abyss!), you will reduce him to critical every time, and
then one of his combos will one hit you.
First of all, I was Level 6 and 5, with Sagi at 400 HP and Guillo at 270. No
idea how much the scantily clad chick has, but she can take care of herself
with Low Potions. Just some notes on Giacomo's attacks. He has one special,
called Thrashingale, which will do a good 160 damage to you, no joke. His
combos can do any range of damage from 30 (a welcome to relief) to the upper
100s, and if he links Thrashingale to the end, his whole combo will do about
350 damage. No joke. And yes, he's a little on the fastish side. Not quicker
than you, but quicker than you'd think for that kind of strength.
Luckily, the chick is there to take hits, and she seems to have quite a bit
of HP on her, which is a good thing. Giacomo himself has a lot of HP for a
boss of his time, but note that he is NOT strong against fire, like he was in
Eternal Wings. So just punish him with any combo you can rank up, beginning
with weapon cards. If you can get a Flame Sword or something, then weak,
medium, strong, and a Cliffsunder at the end, that will do a ton of damage,
and Guillo can do even more as his physical strength is greater. Plus the
girl has Swallowtail and Emerald Thrush for extra damage, but I'll have you
know now, that you want to keep Low Potions and Fate's Cordials around for as
long as you can, because if he's going to knock you out, you might as well be
ready for it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your rewards are a second special for Guillo, Fulgadrum... and an Escape
stratagem magnus. Get 'em both in your deck when you can. The girl introduces
herself as Milliarde who will henceforth be known as Milly, and thus begins
the mutual dislike between her and Guillo. Go figure. But anyway there's a
magnus shop right nearby, so enter. I'd personally get another of each type of
attack card and throw it into the deck, plus replace Sagi's Punk Knife with a
Longsword.
Now head to the east and talk to Milly to get on the skyliner, and then you'll
see a cryptic scene of Baelheit talk to the man who killed Olgan, whose name is
Shanath... and he denies it. There's Verus's name again too. But with that,
Milly tells her rather expected life story to Sagi and Guillo, and as usual
the latter is awesome, especially when you actually do land in Hassaleh Port.
"You could drop a ton of bricks on her and the bricks would be helpless". LMAO.
But anyway, get the HERB and make sure you talk to the guy near the barrel for
a Mountain Apple... you need it in Sheratan. With that, leave and go east.

- Magnus: Fate's Cordial, Icefan, Whitecap Shield, Power Helmet, Scension
Not bad, another easy dungeon in the likes of the Albali Sandhollow. Just enter
to learn a bit about Guillo, and make sure you get the FATE'S CORDIAL by the
entrance. Now head one screen north to get attacked by one of those giant bats
again, and after that Milly will officially be in the party. She comes with a
few items, notably two Swallowtails aka her specials, although I don't know if
you need two of them. Speaking of which, open the Magnus chest right by to get
the ICEFAN special for Guillo. Awesomeness.
On the next screen, just head north to find a Yesterbean over to the left, and
then approach the vine just by the right and use it there to create a bridge to
let you go south. Rather convenient and simple, wouldn't you say? Cross it and
on that next screen you come to, head to the east for a WHITECAP SHIELD, and
then try to go north and over the boulder, but the herder stops you because he
himself needs a Yesterbean. As it turns out you can't get one from that place
you did earlier, so that presents a small puzzle of sorts.
Head back up the path and scale the cliff to the far northeast, and then take
either path to the east, and you'll find a gator there which just eats the
Yesterbean. Examine the thing on the right where it was and then chase the
gator around a bit, and as it turns out, it's impossible to catch. Geez, a wild
goose chase has never been a more accurate term. Time to find a roadblock; so
just head to the screen on the east where the Yesterbean was growed, and scale
the cliff to the left, right in the middle.
Push the block of thorns on the left down into the path, and then chase the
gator up into it... and it just does itself in. Poor creature, you really are
a terrible human being. But whatever, draw the Yesterbean from it and then
return up, to the left, and down to find that herder again. Use the Yesterbean
on the boulder, and the herder gives you not only a POWER HELMET, but a Speed
Charm for the Endmost Bethel. That is good stuff there; now just keep going
north, and you'll find where Guillo was originally... buried. Sucks to be him.
Anyway, get another SCENSION and then head east to get to Sheratan.

Magna Mix Recipe, Magna Mix Recipe, Fulgadrum, Rose Shill, Magna
Mix Recipe, Toy Sword, Adhesive Bandages, Blue Beans, Magnus Mixer,
Will, Nixie Garb
This place is in my opinion the most boring place in the entire game. You'll
be quite happy to hear that when you're out of here the game really starts
picking up though, so that's at least a good thing. Enter, and after Sagi and
Guillo sort of introduce the place, immediately take a right to enter the
magnus shop. I would definitely recommend buying some stuff, most notably the
Thunderfish for Sagi, which if you have that Spark Shroom from Mintaka can be
made the slightly superior Thunder Edge.
Now head north to see Sagi's mom Gena and some annoying little brat kid who
wants to see her wings. This is me mashing the A button to get off of Tik's
dialogue. But once that scene is over, head north and talk to the kids on the
left, and then enter the house right up front, and get the Magnus over to the
right which contains a QUICKFREEZE CAP. Then with that done, head east in the
main screen and enter the first building there to find a FIRE ELEMENT sitting
there. Plus the lower right cabinets contain a MAGNA MIX RECIPE.
With that, head a little over to the right to find Gena, and then the trio
will go in the orphanage she's running. Watch Guillo in the background, it
really is a riot. With that, Sagi's going to give Milly the quote on quote
grand tour, but before anything, examine the bunk beds on the left for a
MAGNUS PACK COUPON, and the one above that for a MAGNA MIX RECIPE. Plus there's
another MAGNA MIX RECIPE on the table. With that, leave and walk by that huge
tower again, supposedly built in the age of the gods, and yeah, some more
Guillo and Milly squabbling.
Head south and get another FULGADRUM, and a ROSE SHILL for Milly. Then enter
the house on the right of the orphanage and examine the stuff on the left for
a third MAGNA MIX RECIPE. Now I'd suggest returning to the entrance and talking
to the kids on the upper left, and after a ridiculous scene you'll get the
TOY SWORD quest magnus which raises everybody's offense by 3. See, talking to
annoying kids paying off 1 in a 100 times. Then redeem your coupon at the magnus
shop. Plus if you got a Blaze from a fireplace you can upgrade Sagi's Flame
Sword into a Blaze Sword.
Said Blaze Sword has 30 attack power compared to the Flame Sword's 20, and trust
me you need that extra firepower (no pun intended) for the very next dungeon.
Speaking of which, now talk to the woman right outside the orphanage, who just
so happens to be a trader. I personally managed to squeeze a Flametongue out of
my Taunt, and the Flametongue has 25 attack power, so replace it with that old
crappy Crystal Edge if you've got that going. ;] That's right, next dungeon is
watery.
Now return to the orphanage and talk to Tik and Wacho. Yeah, you seriously have
to get Tik's hat now. Just return to the first screen and talk to the vault
guard on the left, and the "password" is a Mountain Apple, which you can get
from Hassaleh Port, just don't let it rot. Give it to him and examine the stuff
at back and you'll find Tik's hat, so now return to the orphanage and the brats
will make up, plus you get some ADHESIVE BANDAGES out of the deal. After Sagi
manages to get himself out of bed... it's a new day with more new tedious stuff
in this village. Don't worry, it gets better reaaal soon.
Head back to the entrance and talk to the caplin herder, who's missing a black
caplin. The black caplin is on the second screen from the eastern entrance of
the Nusakan Thornwood, right near the rock you pushed. Inspect it and then talk
to the guy again for some BLUE BEANS. How really not worth it that was. But
anyway, now head back to the house near the Brierclock, and talk to the elder's
granddaughter by the altar, who's of course worried about a guy. So with that,
head over to Lake Botein, which is to the south.
There is nothing you can do here, but just examine the shining object on the
ground and then go back and give it to the elder's granddaughter, who just lets
you keep it as a MAGNUS MIXER, and throws in a WILL on top of it. Okay, back
to the orphanage again. *yawn* Talk to sis in the lower right corner, who wants
some Thornflower Nectar from the next door house. Said house is the one on the
right of the orphanage, so talk to the woman there for it and then go back to
the orphanage. Talk to sis for a NIXIE GARB and Element Charm.
So after that, Tik and Wacho come running in telling you a story about the
monster in Lake Botein which everyone is so worried about. As it turns out,
it's exactly like the beast from the Emperor's Residence, so you'd better check
it out. Before anything, though, enter the house straight north of the entrance
and talk to the Doc sitting in the chair there for the FIELD GUIDE. You will
want to have that for your own archives, trust me. But anyway, for the second
time, Lake Botein is to the south.

- Magnus: Heavenfall, Magnus Pack Coupon, Potion, Lightning Club, Ice Fruit,
Magnus Pack Coupon, Mattress, Saber
Okay, so for maximum preparation for another nice dungeon, you'll want to have
some fire magnus. Sagi can have the Flame/Blaze Sword and a Flametongue, Milly
can have a Fire Club, and Guillo can have a Mars Sophia from trading, and a
Flame Sophia from upgrading. That's more than enough. Plus I was class level 5,
meaning I could discard three cards at a time which is a huge advantage, but
whatever. Enter, and it's time to go exploring this place. Tik and Wacho will
come in and explain some stuff, but then you're on your own.
Before anything, examine the stuff on the right, and draw as many Photosynth
Lilies as you can, since you need them to breathe underwater. There are two
sides of this place, so jump in through the side on the right first. The
spirit monsters here can be rather challenging though, just giving you a little
heads up. But either way, head down the ladder when you're done, and then push
the giant wall in front. How Sagi can do that I don't know, but once you do
that the room starts glowing red.
You're done there, so head out of that side and now start jumping across the
pillars to the left. Do the same process by heading down the ladder and pushing
the wall in, and the lake will be completely drained. So with that, return to
the first area, and go over to the right and down for Sagi's HEAVENFALL special,
which is quite nice! I'd replace it with Scension myself for now (although
Cliffsunder is even more obsolete later), and then head down the elevator in
the center. It's... the hideous beast again.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Hideous Beast
HP : ~1450
EXP : 800
Okay, as usual I'll give you a bit of an idea as to my HP and levels. I was
on average Level 8, with Sagi having 495 HP, Guillo at 355, and Milly at 415.
As usual, this thing is a bit strong-ish. Its main special is an attack
called Icy Death which does about 200 damage to one character and knocks him
or her out, plus it has an attack here and there which pummels the whole
party at a little over 100 or so. Apart from that, the maximum the combos can
do is about 160, and this thing is the slowest boss yet... much better than
Giacomo was.
The strategy isn't really going to differ here, except keep an eye on your
HP whenever it gets below 200, as this guy can probably knock it out with
about that much. It's not weak against fire, but that being said, if you get
Sagi with a Blaze Sword and a combo ending with Heavenfall, you can and will
do massive damage. Just regulate your stuff so that it's not all equipment,
making use of the fact you can discard three cards at once, and you shouldn't
have a problem. It just ends with it knocking you out anyway.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Guillo ends this battle by going crazy again and blasting this thing to shreds,
but it doesn't die afterwards. You'll get the Sevenstar Dust special for Milly,
to boot. But anyway, now you'd better search for the villagers. There's two in
this room alone; get some Pristine Water from the lake nearby if you don't have
any, and splash the elder for a MAGNUS PACK COUPON, and just talk to his
secretary, for a POTION. With that, take the elevator back up; we have four
more villagers to find.
On that screen, there are two villagers on the left and right respectively, with
Wacho and Tik jumping around as easy indication, and they need Pristine Water
and a Photosynth Lily respectively. And in similar pattern, they give you a
LIGHTNING CLUB and an ICE FRUIT. Now head into the left and right rooms
respectively, which contain one and three monsters in said pattern you need to
rid the place of. In the right room, that is, you have to clear the room and
then examine the... crate.
The villagers will give you a MAGNUS PACK COUPON and a MATTRESS (that explains
things). Now take the elevator in the center back down to the place where you
fought the Hideous Beast, and speak with the elder. He gives you a SABER on top
of all that, so that's another addition to Sagi's library of swords. Now leave
Lake Botein and go back to Sheratan to find the inevitable has happened... the
place is under Empire control, led by none other than Valara and her machina
arma.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Valara [Machina Arma]
HP : ~175
EXP : 1040
The first instinct you'll probably have is to laugh at Valara's HP count, but
let me spell it out for you: you can't technically win this battle; Valara
and her machina arma are just far too powerful for that. You just have to
draw that much HP out of her, and believe me that while this battle isn't
one of those stay alive for a certain number of turns type, she's strong;
her Arma Cannon attack is about 280 damage to one character, and her combos
combos can be anywhere between about 40 damage... and 300.
Sagi is nigh on useless in this battle aside from a Thunderfish chained with
some extra attacks and a Cliffsunder. Valara has a very slight weakness to
lightning, so the number one attack in this fight is Milly's Sevenstar Dust,
which can do up to 20 damage. Yeah, I know, the damage you do is pathetic.
Guillo is great with a Mars/Fire Sophia finishing off with a Fulgadrum, but
you mainly need to focus on healing, since Valara's attacks are, well...
powerful. Always keep at least one Fate's Cordial and one Potion ready, and
end the fight with everyone alive, since 1040 EXP for everyone isn't bad.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After Valara blasts the group down, none other than "Malpercio's afterling"
from Lake Botein shows up and slashes Valara and her soldiers down, but quite
sadly, Valara charges up a large beam and blasts the life out of not only part
of the continent of Hassaleh (geez how did you survive for a second against
that), and the life of the afterling, and just as before Sagi gets a headache
and lapses out. You're back in Rasalas and the guys call you... Marno. Well,
guess you have to follow them back to their hometown of Naos. Exit northeast.

VIi. Sandfeeder's Nest
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
- Magnus: Ice Element, Emerald Thrush, Crystal Edge
This place looks very much like the Albali Sandhollow, doesn't it? Yeah... but
yes, you're Sagi, not Marno. I might also point out that after "beating" Valara
in the other world, you got Levinsnake's Rise, which is the game's first level
two special, and it's for Guillo... and it also sucks. There's no EX Combos you
can get with it unless you have Lightendrake's Drop, which is a level three
finisher, so equip it instead of Icefan if you want (or chain them together for
whole enemy party wipeouts), but either way let's go.
Jump down the cliff and go to the left and on that path is an ICE ELEMENT. Not
to mention if you go all the way down on the left path from there you can pick
up Milly's other level one special... EMERALD THRUSH. I know, it's rather good
stuff. Make sure you draw some Balmsand from the "sandfall" on the right, and
then head back up and over to the red stone, drawing out the Magnetite Waves
from them so that the sand bridge appears over on the right. That is our way
of destination now.
Head up and over to the right and down past the sandfall, and you'll find a
large creature called the Sandfeeder on the right which won't let you past. So
just use that Balmsand you got right near it, and it'll go right to sleep like
a good, large overgrown caterpillar. But ignoring that for a second, head down
the path that was formerly blocked off, going to the next screen. Now head back
up and you'll find... it's gone. Enter the hole it was in and examine the back
to get some Magnetite Waves. Good, you need those.
Return back down that path, and take a left. You'll need to use some Magnetite
Waves on the path to the left to make it, well, exist, and then just keep
going further down to another red stone, and use the second pair of Magnetite
Waves there to seal the hole below. Okay, that works; now head back up and to
the right around, past where that hole was sealed... and save. Head down to
find a Sandfeeder just waiting for you, meaning you have to fight, plus Seph
and Pieda's magic is ineffective. You know what that means.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Sandfeeder
HP : ~2750
EXP : 1250
Whoo, now that's a whooping high HP count, plus this thing is the first of
many bosses that actually drain a little HP every now and then, but believe
me, this beast isn't that bad even if it has close to twice the life of the
second highest boss aka Giacomo... mainly due to your speed and its lack of
defense. Let me just say the usual. If your levels are as mine, Sagi will
have 630 HP, Guillo about 480, and Milly about 500. The Sandfeeder's main
attack is Paralysis Quills, which does about 150 damage. Bad? No.
However, this attack will usually put you to sleep, and if you're asleep on
its next turn, it'll not only do about 250 damage to the character it gets,
but it'll heal itself for about 30 HP, which isn't pleasant. But okay, that
isn't as bad as you might think; Valara was much worse. Speaking of which,
Sagi can make up for his lack of usefulness in the previous fight here, cuz
the Sandfeeder's weakest element is pure physical attacks. So just whip out
that Saber and do three attacks ending with any finisher, and that's about
300 damage right there. This fight is only a little longish, not hard, trust
me.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your rewards for that battle are the second level two finisher in the game,
Icebloom for Sagi (a perfect complement to Heavenfall because of the EX Combo
Heavenly Bloom you can make from that!), and the Sedna Bridge, which I'll get
into in a bit. You can now take the Sandfeeder's Silk from the dead remains of
that boss if you want (that allows you to fight it again in the end game) but
it's not necessary. Head up the cliffs right above, and you'll get a CRYSTAL
EDGE out of it. Try and exit, and... Sagi wakes up.
True, the dream is getting interesting, but you have to play it in parts. Back
in the "awake world", Valara runs away because of the ruined machina, and Sagi
collapses again. Apparently Milly really likes that guy. But anyway, after
some planning the trio decides to go to Alfard again and see Quaestor Verus,
because he likely knows something about all that's going on. But before that,
go to the blue flower by the entrance and it'll just grab you and take you to
the Magnus Town of Sedna.
Yeah, that Sedna Bridge you got from the Sandfeeder is one of 26 parts of this
town, and for every five you bring in, you get a reward. Alright, we'll look
for them as we go. Use the Endmost Bethel to level up your class if you want
(I got to level 7 which allows you to get to MP Level 5 and use MP Burst, whoo
hoo, plus 4 discards a turn), but if you can't that's perfectly fine. Leave the
church and go redeem at least one of the coupons from Lake Botein at the
Sheratan magnus shop while you're here.
You might also want to turn a Crystal Edge into a Crystal Saber with some
Pristine Water, but what do I know. Leave Sheratan, so that Sagi can witness
Hassaleh's destruction, and then go up northwest to the Hassaleh Port. After
Gena has a quick word with Milly about Sagi's lack of a social life, you're
back in Alfard. "It's time to go home to mommy and daddy's bomb shelter". I
love Guillo so much, I swear. But once that scene is done, head to the left,
and a guy will force his Coliseum Dog Tags on you. Nice.
Now you can use the blue flowers to go to the Coliseum as well as the Endmost
Bethel and Sedna. Head through the door to the left and talk to some people,
and then start a battle. And here, the second greatest battle theme ever
composed starts playing... the guitar version of The Valedictory Elegy. Geez,
this theme kicks so much ass it's not even funny. But anyway, win a battle
here and there and then go back to Mintaka. Stop by the shop if you want, but
have fun affording the Middle Potion... seriously. Either way, your destination
Greater Mintaka is to the west of, well, Mintaka.

Mix Recipe, Magnus Pack Coupon, Hermit's Cane, Scension
Where this place went in Eternal Wings I have no clue, but anyway it appears
an election is shortly being held to celebrate Olgan's successor. Cool. When
you gain control, be very glad that the crowd dies off a bit, and enter the
house on the right. Examine the stuff on the lower left for a MAGNUS PACK
COUPON before anything, and then leave to enter the house on the left. Over and
up to the left is an addition for Milly called the PEGASUS JUMP, and the
alternative WEAK ATTACK B.
Okay, head up into the house on the upper right, but don't bother going right
from there... that's the Emperor's Residence. No comment on that. Just go in
the house, and to the lower left is a CHAIN MAIL, and to the upper right is a
MAGNA MIX RECIPE. I might also add that the Machina Gas you see everywhere can
be taken to Mintaka and upgrade various stuff, such as a Solid Plate from the
Full Plate, a Blazetongue from the Flametongue, a Thunderslash from the
Thunderfish... you get the point.
That's all you can get now, so head up to the plaza to hear the speeches of the
two candidates: Lord Baelheit and Quaestor Verus, the latter of who has high
hopes and zero talent for winning over a crowd. But moments after that happens,
a bomb goes off in the plaza... and you're stuck helping. There are three
people injured, one who needs Pristine Water, one who needs a Medic Kit, and
one who needs Fruit Fit For an Emperor. All of those are relatively easy to
find.
Head back to the main screen and enter the upper right building for the
Pristine Water, the upper left building which is Geldoblame's room and not as
creepy as it gets in Eternal Wings, for a crate on the upper right which has
the Medic Kit, and as for the last bit... talk to the maid on the right in
Geldoblame's room and examine the fake fruit on the table, and then go outside
and talk to the maid by the stairs, and she'll fork the stuff over. Now go to
the plaza again.
The girl on fire needs the water, the young wounded girl on the left needs the
medic kit, and the guy at the very top needs the fruit. Now you have to douse
the pod with... three Pristine Waters. Get all of it from the upper right room,
and then go back to the plaza and use it all on the airpod. The boy from a bit
before gives you a MAGNUS PACK COUPON for your troubles, so now it's time to go
see Verus. His residence is to the far left of the main screen... you can't
miss it.
Tell the guards Geldoblame sent you, and he's his usual fruity self. Enter
Verus's place and enter the first room on the left to find a HERMIT'S CANE and
another SCENSION. There's nothing else to see, so head northeast to talk to
Verus, who for some suspicious reason seems to know everything about what's
going on, and requests your help to stop Baelheit and his promachination
efforts. In Sagi's room, he's unsure, so Milly's suggestion is to walk through
the desert and think of it. What a fantastic idea. Head south of Greater Mintaka
to enter Nihal Desert.

- Magnus: Hell-Purged Casque, Black Beans
Now if there is one place in Origins that's less long or annoying than its
counterpart in Eternal Wings, it's Nihal Desert. This place is short and sweet,
but when you come in you really... cannot move. Speak to the guy right by the
entrance and pay him 400 Gald for some Sparkling Snow, and then you can walk...
you need it. But in any case, let me explain something. You'll otherwise move
slow and need to press A to use some magnus to douse yourself to keep cool,
much like Michigan's weather at the time of my writing this (8/3/2007).
But that was really off topic. There's three quest magnus: Drinking Water, which
can be found at oasises and let's you run but not heartwing dash for a limited
time; Sparkling Snow, which for a limited time let's you move freely; and Flame
Ice which can't be found until the end, but permanently lets you run around.
You just need one Sparkling Snow; head south to the next screen, talk to the
guy if you want, and then head southeast to find an oasis. Make sure you get at
least two Drinking Waters.
Now head south again and just follow the path further south, and you'll run
into some pathetic guy who wants some rock salt to the east but is scared of
the monsters. He gives you some Sparkling Snow though, so gladly oblige, and
go over to the east slightly and draw the essence. Bring it back to the guy,
and you'll get a HELL-PURGED CASQUE. At least he's a HELPFUL dirty swindler.
Now head southwest from there. On this very screen you can get some Rock Salt
from the northwest, but anyway. Just keep going south.
This is the exit, and there happens to be a snow saleswoman here. Talk to her,
and she'll have a little errand for you; she wants you to take some Flame Ice
all the way from the exit, along with some Mother Sunshine at the center, to
the guy at the entrance. Now I'd suggest just getting the Flame Ice and going,
but otherwise, make sure you LEAVE Nihal Desert first, then go in through the
north entrance, hit two screens south and draw the Mother Sunshine, and then
talk to the first guy for some BLACK BEANS. How not worth it. Head to Azha.

When you get here, you'll find it's certainly... different than it was in
Eternal Wings. But anyway, you're free to wander around and make up your
already made mind. Talk to Guillo first of all, who's being manslaughtered, and
then enter the shop on right and redeem your coupon if you have any. SERIOUSLY
hope you get a Crystal Cudgel to replace your Fire Club for Milly, since the
next dungeon is... you guessed it, fire oriented and requires heavy icepower.
An Aqua Truth for Sagi wouldn't hurt either.
I could also add if you upgrade a Full Plate with a Stone, you'll get the very
very good Heavy-Duty Plate. But yeah, what do I know, I'm just a guide writer
who makes recommendations in the form of statements. ;] After you're done at
the store, head one building north of there and then one screen to the east,
and examine the large pipe there for a MAGNA MIX RECIPE. That's all for that,
so head out and into the building directly north of there, which is by far the
largest.
Head to the far northwest and through the invisible path there for a MAGNUS
PACK COUPON which I'd actually suggest gambling and using in Azha's shop right
here, and then head through the door one bit east. In that area, head
northwest through that invisible path for a second ICEBLOOM for Sagi, and
through the far, far east for a FLAME HOOD. Alright, that's all for that
building; leave it and enter the massive one on the left.
Inside you'll find Almarde, a familiar person from Eternal Wings, and Milly.
Yes, apparently Sagi/Milly are BF/GF already, whooda thunkit. Anyway, Sagi
still has more thinking to do, so head north from there, and Sagi will start
babbling to his Guardian Spirit saying he's made up his mind, and then a miner
named Bein will come in and unfold his life story. Hmmm, wonder who that is,
eh? Anyway, Sagi's apparently made up his mind now, but there's still stuff to
get. Like that Magnus right near where Bein was, which contains a FIREWHEEL.
Head north to the next room, and make absolutely sure you get the MEDIUM ATTACK
B and FATE'S CORDIAL here, as you'll have a bit of trouble getting them later,
I assure you. Also examine the laundry up towards the north for another MAGNA
MIX RECIPE. But anyway, that's all for treasure now. Talk to Milly in the
place with the flame ice above the shop, and then leave the village, and it's
off to Greater Mintaka with you to accept Verus's proposal.
When you get to Verus's residence in Greater Mintaka, just head straight to
your guest room so you can take that long deserved nap, and then Sagi will
agree to Verus's proposal in his room, and in the process receive eight blank
magnus (YES!) and the Machina Communicator to talk with Verus. Anyway, your
first mission under him is to go to Azha and investigate the terrorist attacks,
as that is where they originated. Might as well; just leave and go straight
back to Azha to find it's a bit... different.
That's right, the Empire is now occupying it. Enter the upper left building
to meet Lyuvann (wow where I have seen him before), and you'll need to look
for proof that the terrorist, known as the Mourning Mistral, is in Azhani. To
start with, talk to people. There's five people you need to speak with - Mallo
who is in that first room over to the right; Almarde, who is to the left at the
table; Juwar, who is right in the next room by the stairs; Bein, who is to the
far right of the second room; and Nollin, who is actually near the lava caves.
For Nollin, just leave the upper left building and enter the direct right one,
and he's the guy near the flame ice. That's all, but enter the room straight
north of him, and get the RED PADMA finisher for Sagi there, although I think
you can tell by the background of the screen that it's a little useless right
now. Alright, go outside and talk to Lyuvann again, and suggest checking at the
bomb site, and you'll get permission to leave the town. Go back to Greater
Mintaka, and to the plaza.
Talk to the kid there, who will give you a suspicious Metal Device. Now return
to Azha and talk to Lyuvann about it, and then to Mallo in the first room,
who will tell you that that is none other than an Azha exclusive detonator.
That's enough evidence; talk to Lyuvann to assemble the villagers, and have
Sagi present the Detonator, and then Nollin and Juwar will both claim that
they are the Mourning Mistral, meaning you need to pick up which one is lying.
Lyuvann tells you that you can trap the essence of testimony, to boot.
Speak to Nollin first, and ask him about the bomb, saying that it sounds
suspicious. Which it does, because his work isn't supposed to make him deal
with bombs. After talking to him, speak to Mallo and ask about that, only to
be told Nollin has never handled explosive. Well, that takes care of that.
Trap Mallo's testimony and talk to Lyuvann about it, and when he assembles the
villagers again, say that Nollin is lying and present Mallo's testimony, and
now there are three possible culprits: Juwar, Mallo, and Bein. Take a wild
guess.
Either way, start by speaking to Almarde, who says that you don't know all
three were in Mintaka that day. Yeah, sure, speak to Lyuvann about that, and
then talk to Juwar, and ask him until you get his testimony, saying he hit a
building. Right... talk to Lyuvann again and assemble the villagers to present
that, and the culprit is finally revealed to be Bein. Break your way through
the villagers and then head to the Lava Caves on the right where Bein broke
through, getting the three essences of Eau de Mouche offered, and when the
guards don't let you through, use the Machina Communicator. Time for some fun.

- Magnus: Crystal Cudgel, Sedna Toadstones 1, Diamond Drop, Middle Potion,
Twin Ice Auger
Things you'll need going through here: the Eau de Mouche as well as some blank
Magnus for Rockfly Corpses later, a lot of ice based weapons, and some Flame
Ice, which strengths ice offense. That'll have you good to go. Notice this place
is not the same Lava Caves from Eternal Wings, but whatever. Head to the left
first of all, and open the chest for a CRYSTAL CUDGEL. Having two of those for
Milly is awesome. Make SURE you fight the monster there, because it drops the
SEDNA TOADSTONES 1.
With that, head to the right and down, clogging up the blue vent there with
the Eau de Mouche, and some bugs will come in and commit suicide so you can
pass. Yay! Draw two essences of Rockfly Corpse, and then go back to the man
who gave you the stuff in the first place, and get two more Eau de Mouche
essences for that. Alright, now you're good to go. Go beyond that point now,
and at the fork in the next screen, head north to find another vent. Clog it
up, I say.
Right beyond that vent is Milly's first level two finisher, DIAMOND DROP,
which is particularly good here, because it with Emerald Thrush makes the
Double Frost EX Combo. How perfect for these Lava Caves. Anyway, head south
of that point now. There are two ways to go from here: southwest and southeast;
head southwest first, and use a Eau de Mouche on the vent there to make a
bunch of flies travel to you, but kill themselves in the fire surrounding you
first. Hah, owned.
Get the MIDDLE POTION while you're there, and then head back southeast and
down the path of flies (I'd sure hate to walk on that...), and then use yet
another Eau de Mouche on the vent near the flies there to suck them into a
nice, gentle two thousand degree Fahrenheit atmosphere, and then get a second
special for Guillo, the TWIN ICE AUGER, which with Firewheel can make an EX
Combo for him called Wheel of Fire and Ice, which is better than nothing. That
assures everyone can have at least one EX Combo.
Now head just a little bit up from there to the next screen, and you'll find
the fifth and last vent. Put that last Eau de Mouche in there and then proceed
to the left, and it's just a straight path to the very end, where Bein awaits
you. And after an unintentionally funny quote, he transforms into an umbra. I
WAS wondering what the dark flame was for, but I hope your ice magnus is all
ready. Boss time.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Umbra
HP : ~2350
EXP : 1250
This thing is a bit on the powerful side, so I hope that you've got your ice
magnus ready, prepared for quite the battle. For me as usual, Sagi had 715 HP
while Guillo had 595 and Milly 615. That's enough; you need to worry about
the offensive. Sure, you may be slightly faster as usual, but this thing's
extremely rare Mountainmaker attack will do almost 300 damage to the entire
party, plus there's Hellion Eye, which blasts one character off the ground
at about 350-360 damage. Apart from that, the combos are just in the 200
range or so, nothing extremely special.
As you can see, those numbers are a little high, and not one of its attacks
can be considered nothing to worry about. Because of that, your interest is
in finishing this thing off, but making sure a Middle Potion (which should be
replacing if not done replacing all the regular Potions), and stacking up
those EX Combos. Even if you're just constantly discarding four cards every
turn, make sure you get any of them, order of preference: Double Frost (up to
mid 700s if done right), Wheel of Fire and Ice (about 600 damage), Heavenly
Bloom (mid 500s). But all of them are good. It all ends with you being blown
off your feet anyway.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As usual, Guillo gets enveloped in blue light, but this time Sagi does want to
kill the umbra, not because it's Bein, but he has... a feeling, of sorts. Of
course, Valara manages to come in and shoot the umbra to bits, and guess what
happens now? Of course, you're in the dream world.

Taunt, Magnus Pack Coupon
Geez, this village couldn't be any more depressing if it tried. I'm not joking,
this is Seph and everyone else's home? Apparently, a village called Cujam has
sided with Wiseman, the person who's turning everyone into magnus, so you'll
have to go there soon and take matters into your own hand. But whatever, you're
here in Naos right now. Head out of the room you're in, and in the hall you'll
find Thoran, who insists on knowing Marno, aka Sagi, but the latter just talks
like he doesn't know him. And for rather good reason if you know what I mean.
Back in the room you were in earlier, on the table is the SEDNA MAILBOX. You
might just want to draw the essence of the Freezing Rain, but seriously, you
see what I was talking about? Freezing rain. Depressing. In the room on the
right across the hall is Pieda, so talk to her. Afterwards head upstairs to
hear Seph arguing with his girlfriend Quis, and then head in the room to the
left which is the magnus shop. The only thing worth buying, in my opinion, is
the Breath Jacket.
In the room just across is Ven who will tell you a bit about Wiseman, so after
you hear that, head upstairs to find the place gets even more saddening. What
is this, a ship? Whatever, get the SEVENSTAR DUST to the lower left, and do
please go to Sedna to restore the pieces, and to the Endmost Bethel. Then go
south to find that you're... under the sky. A foreign concept, eh? But moments
after Sagi sees this, he wakes up back to the Lava Caves, and the trio gets
attacked.
I'm not going to write a strategy for this thing (don't ask why, I have a
reason), but just make your way through the battle and let it fall into the
lava. There's no EXP by the way. Head south from there and back to the save
point for obvious reasons, and just at the lava to the right, the Lord of the
Lava Caves attacks again! Oh well, it's the same exact fight. Finish it off
and go one screen southeast, and it attacks for a third time. This is the real
deal.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Lord of the Lava Caves
HP : ~4300
EXP : 1510
Okay, that HP total there is not a joke, or a lie. It's also not a figment of
my imagination, although you can give or take a hit point here and there.
But that's beside the point; I can understand the point of having higher HP
bosses, but this thing just went WAY, WAY too far. 4300 HP, seriously... and
I'll add one point, that it hangs to one side that almost looks like it's
critical. It's not. It's just mocking you. You may have thought this thing
was easy before, but the fact this thing has 4300 HP makes it several
exponents more difficult.
You're probably used to this thing's attacks by now, added in with the fact
it's a lot faster than the Umbra or other things, plus it has the strongest
attack you've seen yet, called Molten Blast or something like that, and it
does 450 damage. Not to mention this thing absolutely loves to chain it to
the end of a combo and do in excess of 800 damage... pretty hard to live
through even at full HP, people. As such, focus on taking as much HP as you
can off of this thing. If you get an opportunity, use MP Burst, but don't
make a specific attempt for it. You want to chain and relay a lot of ice
related stuff, because huge 1500 damage combos which add in causing freeze
are by far your best bet. This battle will last a while and is the hardest
battle since Giacomo, believe me, but this thing will go down eventually.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And thus, the Lord of the Lava Caves is finally dead... seriously, it is.
Draw the magna essence from it if you want, but otherwise get out into Azha
and you'll contact Verus, who wants to see you. Go back to Greater Mintaka and
see Verus, and he'll tell you that Baelheit wants to see you personally to
take care of Sagi's criminal charge. Okay, so leave for regular Mintaka and
head for Baelheit's place, which is if you forgot in the northeast corner of
the city.
Inside, Milly goes off to "see a friend". Yeah, sure. Just enter and you'll
find Shanath, who is the biggest bastard in the whole game, but let's not get
into that. He'll direct you to the upper left where Baelheit, but first, go
into the lower right room, and you'll find a FULGADRUM for Guillo. In the
upper right room you can examine the bookshelf at right for a MAGNA MIX RECIPE
and the lower right magnus contains an ICEFAN. Plus the librarian here is a
trader, but that's really not worth bothering with.
The lower left room has a TAUNT in it, that's it. Head into the upper left
room to meet the one and only Lord Baelheit for the first time, and he just
removes the criminal charge without a problem. Suspicious much? But yeah, just
to mock you even more, you CANNOT get the magnus on either side. Bastards. Oh
well, leave, Shanath is a jackass again, and meet Milly outside. That's it,
time to go back to Greater Mintaka.
Return to Verus's residence and he'll send you off to Diadem to further try to
prevent promachination there. Okay, good, he's also arranged a private vessel
for you. And after that, Baelheit talks to Shanath a bit, and then you hear a
voice speaking to his guardian spirit. Whoa... whose voice is that, I wonder.
I'm getting ahead of myself. Back in Mintaka, run back to the shop to get a
letter from Gena there, a MAGNUS PACK COUPON, and 500G. Go ahead and use the
coupon here in Mintaka, and then take the private vessel, the Sfida, to Diadem.

You'll be instantly greeted by a female knight named Celsica. Remember Baelheit
mentioning her, that can't be good. There's a large building straight north of
you with two doors, so take the right one first and examine the stuff on the
right for a MAGNUS PACK COUPON, then enter the left side and grab a HEAVENFALL
in the magnus and a MAGNA MIX RECIPE towards the lower left. Now head into the
house just to the left of that and examine the left stuff for a second MAGNUS
PACK COUPON.
I'll put out that if you've done rank 1 at the Coliseum yet, which you should
by all means do, you can enter this house and talk to the doctor and the girl
named Elle as your task to advance to rank 2. So put that in mind. Also, the
magnus shop is right ahead and I'd say just cash in both coupons just for the
Light Sophias for Guillo and the Grappler's Gi for Milly, as well as the Battle
Suit for Sagi with 80 defense power, but it's your say. Go in with some Blazes
though, first of all!
Yeah, Blazes, they're in the house with the three items we went in earlier.
The Sword of Thirst from the Umbra can become the Parched Sword, which drains
MP. The Mars Sophia can be raised 28 attack points into the Meteor Sophia. You
get the point. Finally enter the house to the left of the shop to find a lone
MIDDLE POTION inside. Alright, time to see King Ladekahn in Castle Elnath. Head
to the upper right portion of Sheliak and talk to Celsica, and she'll walk
you through the castle, up to some stairs.
Go up the upper left stairs and then through the door at left, and you'll see
Ladekahn is a LOT different than in Eternal Wings... Gibari is no different at
all. Got to love those two, huh? You meet Gibari's father Rambari though, who
rambles a bit about those two, and now you need to go to Nashira and chase the
two of them. Before that, though, let's raid the castle. First of all, examine
the throne in the room where Rambari was to get the SEDNA MONUMENT. Now to make
things easier, start from the entrance.
There are two sets of stairs right at the entrance. Go in the upper left room
and all the way to the left to get a BATTLE SHIELD there. With that, leave the
room and head up the stairs and to the right up some more stairs, then up the
central stairs and up the stairs to the right, then up some more stairs and to
the left. Geez, that's a lot. In the training arena is a WILL and a SWALLOWTAIL
so get those and head out. Go back down those central stairs, and to boot there
is a guy doing push ups on the left who happens to be a trader.
Probably the best items you can get are the Cancerite Booze (restores 900 HP
though causes knockdown), and the Sword of Tears, which is a good ice based
weapon for Sagi. There's some other difficult stuff in there, but moving on.
Head over to the right, and in that room take the upper right door for a
MATTRESS, and the lower right door for a GRAPPLER'S GI. You're done here now
though, so leave Sheliak and you have two destinations: the Cloud Passage and
Lesser Celestial River. Hit the latter.

The music here rocks, but come the hell on, this place is so long and confusing
it makes me psycho. But whatever, you'll find Gibari and Ladekahn right at
the entrance, and the trio just stands there watching them... seriously. But
whatever, the duo jumps into the clouds, so you need to follow. Examine the
cloud machine towards the south, and when you appear in the clouds, you'll
find imperial soldiers. Uh oh, that's not good. Everything else here is just
for decoration now, so take the northwest vortex down.
Once again, the trio just stares at the duo, the latter two of which are so
moronic they can't even tell they're there. Ugh, infuriating, especially the
last reaction Milly gives. But anyway, let me explain this. Examine the light
above, and you can use the Royal Mirror to melt rainbows which block the path
in the Cloud Passage. Gibari does one of them for you (forgetting the Royal
Mirror of course), but there's one more, to the northwest. Melt them all and
then use the machine to go back to the clouds.
Now head down the path and to the west, jumping in the first vortex there,
and then heading just a tad to the west to find another sun spot, where you
can use the Royal Mirror to burn down two rainbows: one to the south and one to
the north. Do that, rainbows are bad. With the both of them melted, now head
back and up to the clouds, and at the fork there go all the way north, and a
little to the east is a FROZEN SUIT. I can settle for that; go to the west
when you're done.
Just follow the path there until you land in another part of the Lesser
Celestial River, where there is, believe it or not, another level one special
for Guillo there, called GHOSTARROW. And it's actually good later, but not at
the moment. Keep going west and into the cloud machine, and then keep taking
that path until you run into another machine with a star thing near it that
you can't use right now, and you'll find Ladekahn and Gibari running amuck
without a Royal Mirror. Poor guys.
From where you land, head east through the two creatures there to pick up a
second ARABESQUE, and then down and to the left to reach some more typical
clouds. Okay, head south at the fork... and you'll find Ladekahn and Gibari
jumping over a monster to get out, but now the monster's dead, so you need to
find your own damn way to get through. I hate this place. Return to the last
screen and go east, ignoring the rainbow and following the path until you find
the ASCENSION second tier technique for Sagi.
Yeah, you're done with level two techniques for Sagi now, and if you want
Scension plus Ascension to replace Heavenfall plus Icebloom you can do that,
though my recommendation is stick with the latter for now. Now head to the
west and down that vortex for now, and then go to the east to grab the AQUA
HOOD that's there, then you'll see a monster head south. Guess you can do the
same thing. Once there, use the Royal Mirror to find... you can't break the
rainbow below! BLAST IT ALL TO OBLIVION AND BACK!
Just kidding. True, it doesn't reach, but just point it north at the star
symbol to have it reflect down at the rainbow to burn it, then head back and
use the cloud machine to go up, and then head back to the southwest and down
the vortex there to come to... the exit of the Lesser Celestial River! Yay,
but too bad you can't effing use it. Get the BANDAGES to the left which at this
point should have completely replaced the Adhesive Bandages, and speak to the
"cloud instructor" there.
That's right, you need to use synthesis for the first time to get out of this
horrid dungeon. The instructor will give you some Salt, plus there's Pristine
Water and Blaze behind you, so mix the latter two together and then fight
three battles above (yeah, seriously... doesn't matter what against though),
and after that's done, add the Salt to create a Diadem Cloud. Now go back to
the guy and show it to him for some FIRE-BREWED TEA, then finally take the
path Ladekahn and Gibari did to the south to at LAST get out of that hellhole.
Nashira is to the west.

- Magnus: Light Element, Strong Attack B, Magna Mix Recipe, Dark Element,
Sword of Tears, Canyon Wind
Ouch, the town is under complete empire jurisdiction at the moment, not to
mention Ladekahn and Gibari get kidnapped. That's not good. But since you're
here in any case, the magnus shop is the building with the orange light coming
from it, and you can buy a Strong Attack B while you're here. Otherwise, check
out the blue flower and make sure you use the Endmost Bethel and Sedna for their
purposes. By now you should get the Migraine Mirror from the latter, but okay,
whatever. Just get caught where Ladekahn and Gibari did (northwest).
Inside that ship, the trio will unite with the duo and think about how to
escape, when one of the badass characters in the game comes in: enter Palolo
II, who's infinitely cooler than Palolo III if you know what I'm sayin'. Well
in any case, now you need to remember how many soldiers were in the storehouse,
and for exact numbers, there are three on the second floor, five on the first
floor, and two machines. Tell all that to Ladekahn, and you'll be ready to go.
How Ladekahn planned this whole operation I have no clue, but Gibari and Palolo
manage to lay waste to the whole room of Empire soldiers. On the first floor
is a bag on the table which contains all your magnus which they swiped, and the
two chests contain a LIGHT ELEMENT and a STRONG ATTACK B. Cool, but just head
outside to find the whole place is blocked with armored cars. No, neither
Gibari nor Guillo can destroy all of them, so you just need to find your way to
the pub somehow.
Enter the nearby house and examine the chest on the right for a MAGNA MIX
RECIPE, then climb up the ladder to find Reblys there, heh. There's also a
DARK ELEMENT waiting for you at the top. Now get down there for a SWORD OF
TEARS, plus up the ladder for Milly's 2+ special CANYON WIND, then through the
east passage. Hah, screw doors. After the scene, talk to Anna for a Basic
Medical Primer which is for Gibari, and then jump through the door and go into
the Cloud Passage. Onto Elnath, then. Go one screen north and then a bit east
to find... Giacomo is back. And he's angry, too.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Giacomo
HP : ~3600
EXP : 1660
That's right, Giacomo is back and just to add insult to injury, he's brought
two imperial soldiers with him. It is absolutely REQUIRED that you roast the
soldiers before you do Giacomo in, because they can do up and past 200 damage
per hit, so if you're like me with Sagi at 920 HP, Guillo at 745 and Milly at
765, you'll run into a bit of a problem. So when you finish the first soldier
off with some heavy duty combos, move right on to the third target aka the
other soldier, and lay him to waste. If you leave all three alive, you will
die, and very quickly.
Giacomo himself attacks with combos which can be anywhere from 70 to 350
damage, and a new technique called Thrashingale Redux, which hits one
character for about 450 damage and always, ALWAYS knocks that character down.
That is quite a pain and should certainly be treated with a Middle Potion
after it strikes. As usual, keep a few Fate's Cordials handy and don't let
up on the offensive even after the soldiers are gone, and this fight should
probably not be quite as bad as the last one, plus if you do a well executed
MP Burst you can do perhaps mid thousands worth of damage; as Giacomo in the
life department is far more merciful than that last little nuisance.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well... it's up to you to guess whether or not Giacomo learned his lesson after
that little stomping. Rambari will show up with Celsica to chase Gibari and
Ladekahn, but they manage to retreat to Elnath. You'll automatically be taken
out of the Cloud Passage, so enter Sheliak and then Elnath to find Rambari
scolding the two in the audience chamber, and you'll hear that Baelheit's troops
have made it into the Cloudvents which are to the northeast, where the Shrine
of the Winds was in Eternal Wings. Eastern passage, ya.

- Magnus: High Potion, Levinsnake's Rise, Sedna Peach Tree, Empyreal Wildfire,
Fire Element
Sagi will contact Verus as soon as you enter, just commenting about how the
Machina Vanguard is here, but seriously, look at this place. Taken a glance?
Yeah, I need not say anything. Start by moving slightly to the right and
waiting for the current to die down, and when you get a good opportunity, just
storming through the wind and getting the HIGH POTION there. Excellent, even
if it's 680 HP compared to the Middle Potion's 500 (wow big transition),
replace it with your weakest healing item.
Now go north... and yes, this place is pretty inpenetrable, but get the
LEVINSNAKE'S RISE right to your left, at left. Then break through to the west
when you get an opportunity, getting the SEDNA PEACH TREE there. South from
this place will take you to the entrance again, but to get through this place,
it is absolutely required that you get the essence of the Gust Boulder on the
left. Got that? Great. Now break through to the far northwest, where at the
very end you get a second EMPYREAL WILDFIRE for Guillo. Yeah, how about
something new, kthx?
I digress, now take the northeast path and you'll come to this strong as all
hell current, and this constitutes for all the frustration in this place. Get
as close to it as you possibly can without being blown in any direction, and
then fuel your heartwings up as much as humanly possible to get to the
northeast, and with a little luck you'll make it. In the next screen use the
Gust Boulder in the center to stop the winds right there (thank god), then at
the fork go south for a FIRE ELEMENT. East is a save point, and you'll run
into Shanath, Valara, and two newcomers. More assery from Shanath, and then...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Valara & Nasca & Heughes
HP : ~3100 & ~1800 & ~1800
EXP : 1567
Okay, you remember the trio battle from Eternal Wings? If not, let me spell
it out for you again: it was arguably the hardest fight in the game. So is
this freaking one! I'm not joking; this fight is ridiculously hard and even
if you aced everything up to this point this battle will annihilate you. For
one thing, these three can team up and do by far the strongest attack up to
this point: Machina Formation, which is roughly about 700 damage to one
character, though this is honestly the least of your worries as it only hits
one character and slows all three of them down, plus they obviously can't
chain it to a combo.
I was Level 19 for everyone, Sagi had 960 HP, Guillo 840, and Milly 860. That
probably will be enough to get you through this. However, more bad news; you
absolutely cannot win this battle without EX Combos, preferably really good
ones like True Heavenly Bloom instead of Heavenly Bloom (Weak Attack + Medium
Attack + Strong Attack B + Heavenfall + Icebloom). But let's get straight to
the point. You should take these three out in the order they're presented:
Nasca, then Valara, then Heughes. Why Nasca first? Because despite the fact
his attacks are pathetic (200 damage is his max with Stun Grenade plus blind)
he uses Gashprin Salve to HEAL these bastards for about 650-750 HP. That, my
friend, is absolutely unforgivable.
Nasca is actually kind of strong against elements, so plain out brutality is
best against him, with the strongest stuff you can manage. Do not hold back
one single thing no matter what state you're at if he's critical and isn't
going to go for awhile, since his AI is a bit smart. When you're done with
him, make sure you heal yourself as much as possible, because Valara is the
strongest of the three, with her Deathdealer attack doing about 450 damage,
though there's no Machina Formation anymore, thank god. She's a little
strong against lightning, but that's really it. She does have a hell of a lot
of HP, though.
Don't let up for one second, like I said. Use Bandages like there's no
tomorrow. I'd say keep absolutely no less than one Fate's Cordial and one
Middle Potion ready at all times. Ditch those crappy beans and Low Potions
and stuff. And use advanced weaponry and stuff like Circuit of Fire and Ice
instead of the wheel. With a little luck Valara will go down while you're
still alive, and if you can get only Heughes still alive then you're pretty
much in the clear, as his Machina Fist, which is rarely used, is only about
330 damage or so, and his attacks are (usually) pitiful, plus he's slow.
He's weak against elements, making him a very quick finish. In fact, kill him
before Valara if you're paranoid, but just heal, heal, heal. Try not to let
your HP sink below 400 if you can help it. If you can do that, you'll emerge
victorious.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And with the fight's conclusion, Guillo starts to attack Nasca, but Shanath
like the jackass he is grabs Ladekahn and is about to kill "His Royal
Prepubescence", haha, when Rambari dashes in only to be shot to death by
Shanath, and Celsica totally loses it and turns into an umbra, just like Bein.
However, Nasca manages to kill it with his machina arma, and guess what? Dream
world time.
You'll emerge as Marno as usual in Ven's room, but called off by Thoran. Yeah,
Sagi wants to go back but that's impossible, so might as well go to Cujam to
see Wiseman. Head to the lower-left room on the first floor which is the
meeting room of sorts, and after everyone's little speeches, MAKE SURE YOU GET
THREE UNITS OF FREEZING RAIN! That's extremely important. Supposing you do
manage it, head outside so that Seph can see Quis off, and then leave to the
overworld for the first time. Cool place; Cujam is to the east and there is
nothing in the Matar Highlands right now, trust me.

Hat, Magnus Mixer, Sword of Tears, Battle Suit, Sister's Habit,
Mephistopheles Cloak
Holy crap, where have I seen this place before? It's so familiar, yet... it's
in that dream world. What makes it even more creepy is the music, as well as
people flying around everywhere. Creepy! Anyway, time to go loot the town and
then find Wiseman. Head in the building to the east first of all to get the
STRONG ATTACK B, and then head up, and just for fun, enter the building at the
top. No comment. Seriously, none.
With that, head to the east and you'll find the... Brierclock. Nah, not really,
but seriously, this place does look so much like Sheratan. With that, enter
the Brierclock and get the FATE IDOL on the left, which resurrects the whole
party for one MP, sweet. Now head up the stairs for two screens to come to the
very top of the Brierclock. And from there, stand over the edge, and as the
guardian spirit tell Sagi to jump off it without his wings. It makes three
confirmations, but if you're brave enough (damn that looks painful...), you'll
get a HERMIT'S CANE.
There are three houses towards the east. Enter the upper one to find a MEDIUM
ATTACK B towards the left. The middle one has nothing, and neither does the
lower one. Suck ass. Well, head down and you'll meet Wiseman for the first
time, who just turns some guy into magnus and then enters his manor. While
you're here, get the WILL at the shore to the lower right, and then enter the
shop if you want, perhaps getting some Foul Air to the left. Enter Wiseman's
manor, and after Seph is about to fight, you flash out back to Diadem. Right,
you didn't want to come or go. Plus Nasca wants you dead.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Nasca [Machina Arma]
HP : ~200
EXP : 1833
As you can tell by the HP count, this is one of those battles in which you
do almost no damage but are forced to stay alive for a period of time. And
yes, you do even less damage to the Marauder that Nasca is piloting than
Valara's thing back in Sheratan, plus Nasca has an attack called the Machina
Cannon which does 450 or so damage to the party, and his physicals do about
600 to one character, but what's the catch? He's EXTREMELY slow. You'll
seriously get about three turns to one of his, plus he's weak against ice.
Making this a great opportunity to test out Sagi's Rime Blade technique. Get
a Heaven's Glacier off, and that's almost the whole battle right there. He
knocks you out eventually though, obviously.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well... after that battle, you'll be back in Castle Elnath, and Rambari dies.
That was bound to happen, sad to say. But anyway, before you leave, you have
to head all the way back to the end of the Cloudvents. Sorry, but it has to be
done. You'll find a magnus there containing the THUNDER HAT, Nasca is still
there if you want to fight him again and lose, and there's also something
called the Bloodstained Crest. That's what you came here for, so pick it up
and leave.
Out in the path leading to Elnath, give the knight that talks to you the
Bloodstained Crest, which you must do to leave Diadem. Oh well, he gives you
a MAGNUS MIXER which is superior to the last one, id est faster, and a SWORD
OF TEARS. Also while you're here, give the Royal Mirror back to either Gibari
or Ladekahn so you can clear that space back up. Going into Sadal Suud which is
the next stop, will take up a lot of magnus spaces. And I hope you have three
Freezing Rains on you still? Yeah, good.
Talk to the Sfida Attendant and after some last words about Celsica, return to
Greater Mintaka in Alfard and speak to Verus. The next stop is to talk to
Rodolfo in Sadal Suud, but first Sagi wants to know about the umbras. Verus
unfolds the story of the war of the gods and Malpercio, also telling you that
the umbras are discarded pieces of Malpercio, and he gives you a BATTLE SUIT,
SISTER'S HABIT, and MEPHISTOPHELES CLOAK. In other words, armor for everyone.
With that, you're done, so go back to the Sfida in Mintaka and take it away to
Sadal Suud.

- Magnus: Rabbit Dash, Sevenstar Dust, Brawn Fruit, Sedna Fence, Magna Mix
Recipe
Familiarity from Eternal Wings all over the place, eh? When you get off the
Sfida, immediately head up and over to the left to find a wanted poster for
none other than Guillo, declaring him to be a masked maneater. Bahaha, just
take it down, but note you can't enter the shop because of the crowd, yet.
Milly will also leave, saying she has to go somewhere. Hmmm... yeah. Now just
head out into the street and go north to find Milly running in there. At least
you're reunited now.
There's a Sagi Wanted Poster right by the east house, declaring him a wedding
con. Hah, Milly has no faith. Draw the essence in any case, and then enter the
house to get the 3+ special for Milly there, called the RABBIT DASH. You can
also draw the Blaze from the fireplace there, and I would suggest getting three
and then mixing two with two of the Freezing Rain you got from Naos... trust
me. You may recognize this as Quzman's house, by the way, and of course in the
north chest is a Naughty Novel which increases Sagi's HP by 100... really.
Leave that place and enter the northeast alley (the one above the straight
east one where you came in from), and get the SEVENSTAR DUST over to the right.
And at the top happens to be a wanted poster for Milly, heh. After she and
Guillo start squawking, you'll get her's. Now, a word on these wanted posters.
After no less than 35 hours (I think) they will age into Local Hero posters,
which you need to get if you want to complete the magnus gathering. Otherwise
they lower your HP by 5%. Choose wisely.
Now go back out to find the crowd at the bottom has moved on. Take down the
Guillo wanted poster before he really does... explode... and then enter the
bar. Now, here's why I wanted you to get the Freezing Rain. Talk to the
bartender there, and he'll want you to draw Chronic Fatigue from him... three
times. That's right, the greedy asshole doesn't mind decreasing your HP and not
being able to get rid of it as long as he's happy (which later he isn't and
wants you take more but you refuse).
Bah. Take it from him even though it does lower your HP, and you'll get a
BRAWN FRUIT and the SEDNA FENCE. Now, to get rid of the Chronic Fatigue, you
have to mix it with the synthesis of a Blaze and Freezing Rain. See where I
was coming from now? Yeah... hope you're on your way. Inspect the east crates
for a MAGNA MIX RECIPE, and also take down the Milly poster on the right. Then
head out and back the way you came in, and it turns out the gossip has died
enough so that you can enter the shop. As usual, upgrades are good.
But anyway, go to the north now to find more people are leaving, and in that
next area you'll find none other than Giacomo complaining about how he was
beaten by Sagi. Yeah, the Dark Service is guarding Rodolfo's lordless mansion,
the man of whom which is in Cebalrai. What's more, you can enter the house the
kids were in front of and examine the posters inside, then after Guillo and
Milly attack the artist, you'll get some PURPLE BEANS. Lastly, try to head out
and a woman will request you take care of the lightbugs in Nunki Valley, and
will give you a Sacred Leaf for that. Okay, south to Nunki Valley.

- Magnus: Force, Arabesque, Rising Condor
Great, another short and rather easy place, and the enemies in my opinion are
not as bad as the ones in the Cloudvents, although fighting five Unuks at once
is a fairly nasty exception to that, though. But in any case when you enter,
head to the right down that path, and please do ignore the magnus on the left;
you can't get it from here. Just head one screen south, and you'll find some
blue glittering thing nearby, and that's why you got that Sacred Leaf... so you
can trap those Holy Droplets.
When you carry the Holy Droplets with you, the lightbugs will run away, so
chase the ones right below out of your path, and since there's nothing to see
to the south because some animals are in your way cuz they're making out (that
is rather disturbing), head around and jump across to the other side of the
river. From there go north to reach the magnus behind the waterfall that we
were unable to nail earlier... it contains a FORCE which is pretty much a
stronger version of Will. Replace it.
Now with that in your hands, head south back to the previous screen and go on
to the southwest, grabbing another Holy Droplet to chase away the lightbugs.
And no, don't head west because there is nothing to see on that cliff at the
moment. When you do reach the next screen, however, you'll notice an old man
there who's waiting to be escorted, but just ignore him for now. Now we do
arrive at the forest's hardest place.
Grab a Holy Droplet, and then IMMEDIATELY jump down to the right and across
the waterfall again; you can't head south because of the sex crazed animals,
once again. Now you need to go south past that waterfall when the water isn't
gushing down, so just time that and then scare off the lightbugs with whatever
is left of that Holy Droplet which turns into Pristine Water in about fifteen
seconds. Head northeast through the water to get an ARABESQUE you don't need
behind the animals, and if you hop across the water to the left, you can get a
RISING CONDOR special for Milly. That's it, just head south to Cebalrai.

- Magnus: Magna Mix Recipe, Magnus Pack Coupon, Sedna Weathervane, Sedna Fern,
Heavenbolt Wrap, Thunder Element
Well it certainly did take a while for us to arrive at the first town of
Baten Kaitos, Cebalrai. But either way, when you enter you can find the magnus
shop to the left, which does not feature upgrades as Pherkad already nailed
that, so whatever. Enter the northernmost house and find a MAGNA MIX RECIPE
towards the upper end, and a MAGNUS PACK COUPON over to the right. Might as
well redeem it at the shop here, as it will be awhile until we get to the next
town.
Now enter the stable which is on the right side of this screen, and talk to one
of the ducks to get a SEDNA WEATHERVANE for our favorite little town of
discarded magnus. Talk to the kid as well and he'll tell you to venture into
Moonguile Forest. Remember that rather nice place from Eternal Wings? Turns out
there's absolutely nothing special there now, there's not even any enemies.
However, if you head north, then over to the west and south, across the river
and to the west, you can find a SEDNA FERN. Good, two pieces at once.
Return to Cebalrai and talk to the kid for a HEAVENBOLT WRAP, and then go one
screen east to find Rodolfo (remember him?) speaking to Heughes. Looks like
he's actually going along with promachination, making the coolness level of all
this suffer. Looks like you're going to have to follow him to his estate aka
the Lord's Mansion from Eternal Wings. Also enter the house which belongs to
Larikush twenty years later for a THUNDER ELEMENT, and now return to Pherkad to
follow Rodolfo. Two screens north, break in.

2, Ascalon
You didn't think it would be that easy, did you? Nah, as soon as you walk in
Guillo suggests you take care of the guards at the entrance, which the trio
promptly does and then hides cuz they're too loud. Okay, there's two doors at
the entrance you can go through (actually four but two apiece on each side lead
to the same area), and the left gives a save point, the right gives a FATE
IDOL. Now return to the foyer with the well up front, and head north to reach
the infamous hall.
Head to the far left and make sure you examine those statues which are blocking
the way. You could get past if you had smokescreen, so... enter the second
door on the right, and examine the bed for a MAGNUS PACK COUPON. The door to
the left is locked, however, so to remedy that examine the window to the north
and take the ivy to that room to find two soldiers asleep. Beat the ass out of
the one that attacks, and pick up the CANYON WIND that's right there. That's the
2+ for Milly if you forgot.
Now return to the last room and just head to the first door to the right of the
central thing for a DRAGON CLAW inside. That's all so just leave and head up to
the right, and enter the kitchen right above the guard, who won't even do a
thing if you go around him. In here you can find some Salty Water which I
suggest you get a little of, plus there's Pow Meat if you want it. Just leave
and head east to the roof, where at the very far end you can collect the SEDNA
HOUSE 2.
Talk to the guy by the Blaze there and he'll tell you that you might be able to
get some smoke in the kitchen. With that, go back to the kitchen and take to
the cook, who lets you rip the hearth on the left out. After Guillo does
something that Namco doesn't even let us see, you're in the guest room right
below. You'll notice three women at the bottom left, and the one on the right
is a trader. The only really new thing I could get was the Murderous Joker
myself, but whatever floats your boat.
The man at the top will tell you that the room on the far left has a crate
that contains Billowsmoke, so head in that room with the ivy on the second one
on the left, and draw some from the crate. Now return to the entrance and enter
the room on the left, putting the smoke in the ventilation shaft, and now you
can just run straight to the left of the statues. =) Over there, however, you
will run into Giacomo for the third time, who really believes he can beat you
this time. Well, let's see!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Giacomo
HP : ~5000
EXP : 2173
Just as a note before I begin, I did age my Wanted Posters to turn them into
Local Hero Posters... but then I ditched the latter, if only for the purpose
of this guide and giving my proper HP totals, plus they take up too much
magnus space. Anyway, just like before you'll want to take out both of the
imperial soldiers first. And as for my HPs, Sagi had 1105, Guillo had 945,
and Milly had 975. That's more than enough, plus if you got Mountain Apples
in Cebalrai then you will cremate this.
Giacomo's attacks are roughly exactly the same as last time, except now he
has a new thingy called Liquid Mettle which increases defense, plus some
thing which he rarely ever uses which raises his attack power, but that's it.
He does, however, have a lot of HP and finally someone has surpassed that
damn Lord of the Lava Caves. However, you're just getting stronger and
stronger, while his Thrashingale Redux still rests at about 500+ damage and
his combos anywhere from 100-400 damage, so if you have a Fate's Cordial or
Fate Idol handy you should definitely be okay. Meanwhile Sagi with Rime Blade
is devastating enough for your purposes.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your reward for that battle is a Marvelous Sword for Sagi, which has 50 attack
power and is thus superior to the Glimmer. Giacomo lies on the floor moaning
about how he wants power... so that's all for him. Enter the door behind to
find Rodolfo inside, who turns out to have been tricking the empire all along.
However, Heughes eavesdrops and tells Sagi to meet him in Nunki Valley to
settle it all. Okay, deal. Get the ASCALON nearby (for Sagi again)... and you
will find you can only enter northern Nunki Valley... that can't be good.

- Magnus: Icefan, Kusanagi, Twin Ice Auger, Emerald Thrush, Heavenfall
Told you. The forest is on fire. After Sagi has a quick word with Verus, head
over to the right and down the cliff, and pick up the ironic ICEFAN that lies
nearby. Now head south and get some Flame Ice; three should definitely suffice
for this place. Now go back up and you'll find there's a bridge installed
across the waterfall, making things quick and efficient the promachination way.
Now examine the crane there with your Flame Ice, and it'll get out of the way...
but you can't move through.
Yeah, that's right, you need to head back up to the top of the cliff and use
the crane as a bridge and then jump down. Whatever. When you reach the next
screen, just continue along the path straight down southwest, and use some
more Flame Ice on the crane you run across, and it'll just fly down and bridge
another gap. Whoa, that's cool. Make sure you still have another Flame Ice
ready, and then cross the crane to get a KUSANAGI for Sagi, as if we needed
more stuff for him, but oh well, it's better than the Sword of Thirst or the
Parched Sword.
Head south and use some more Flame Ice on the crane to bridge a path to the
left, where you can get another TWIN ICE AUGER for Guillo. Towards the northwest
you can find an EMERALD THRUSH, but otherwise take the crane and head north to
reach the other part of the second screen. Continue north for yet another
HEAVENFALL for Sagi, and then go to the west to reach that cliff I mentioned
earlier... and Heughes is waiting for you there. All pimped out in a machina
arma, I might add.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Heughes [Machina Arma]
HP : ~385
EXP : 2100
Ugh. This may be a strange looking arma, but did you seriously think that
you could actually beat him? When Heughes starts charging his attack, you
know he's about to unleash Burning Harken, one killer ass attack that does
about 900+ damage to one character, and if he chains it to the end of a combo
expect 1700 damage or so... ugh. Just nasty. Plus he even has a huge ton of
HP, but he's a little more damageable than the others. You want to set up a
large combo starting with an elemental weapon, and if you keep going all the
way you'll slay him off eventually. Just be ready with Fate's Cordials
constantly. Also, Cebalrai Mountain Apples are good if you're stuck from
Burning Harken.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It's not even over yet. After Heughes gets done wiping the floor with you,
Shanath comes in and decides to break some orders, by dropping an umbra aka
afterling aka hideous beast on Nunki Valley. I hope you're ready for one hell
of a battle...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Malpercio's Afterling
HP : ~6250
EXP : 2167
The last boss of Disc 1 is also the hardest boss of Disc 1. Figures. That HP
count is the most iffy one yet, because the Afterling likes to suck enormous
amounts of HP from you (its signature attack, Feral Death, draws anywhere
from about 120 to 250 from you per use, but it's impossible to estimate), and
its physical attacks usually end in it drawing 100 HP or so from you. Topping
that off with the fact it's the highest total yet, you have a problem on your
hands, and what you need to rely on more than ever is ginormous amounts of
damage done at a time. You can't win with series' of 300 damage attacks, but
with a few 1600+ damage combos, that's the way to go.
An MP Burst will probably be your friend here even though you'll want to have
a Fate Idol handy if at all possible. The number one attack, once again, is
Sagi's True Heavenly Glacier, so if you've got a Strong Attack B ready, keep
it there and pummel this thing with it, but be ready for a long ass fight
especially when you get to the later stages when this thing likes to draw
massive amounts of health every single turn. Again, keep your HP up and cuss
at this thing in bits and pieces for Feral Death, and note that this thing
has a slight weakness to light. Plus Mountain Apples, if you're stuck, will
do a lot to help you.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So assuming you got past that nightmare of a battle, the afterling picks up
Milly, but Sagi manages to strike it down only to go back to the dream world,
as usual. You're in Cujam now, so leave for Naos only to find everyone is
dead... Wiseman is one step ahead of you. Quis too... never thought I'd hear
Seph emit a howl of anger. Anyway, he has a plan to go to a place called Zaurak.
Pieda knows why... but Thoran and we don't. I like the suspense. The place in
question is to the southeast of the overworld.

- Magnus: Ascension, Evil Mail, Plasma Blade, Spirilight Quiver, Cross Sophia,
Sigil Cry, Saber Dragon Horn
And here we arrive at the last dungeon of Disc 1, but before I begin... does
this place look at all familiar to you, Eternal Wings players? Yes? No? Maybe
so? Whatever. Head to the northeast on the first screen, and then go east, and
no, you cannot go north there through that darkness. Not that you would want
to past those two ghouls anyway, but whatever. Keep going east, and before
scaling that massive jump, head to the far east to get the ASCENSION round up
top.
Now make that jump, and Ven will state he can't climb that high. He doesn't
contribute much anyway so leave him, and then head north until you reach the
top of a cliff, where you'll find an EVIL MAIL at the top. There's a rather
hard to see shining dark ladder (they're all like that here) on the right, so
use that to get down, and then head up and a bit to the west, jumping up when
you can, and then making a second jump to find a PLASMA BLADE there because
Sagi still needs more weapons of course.
At the fork to the west, take the upper path first and go down the ladder to
find a level two SPIRILIGHT QUIVER there for Guillo because he still needs more
finishers... but whatever that one's pretty good. As is Wickedwing Revels,
which you got from the boss battle. You get the point. Head back up and then
right to the south, where you can follow all the way down for a CROSS SOPHIA
for Guillo. Once that's in your inventory, proceed west.
Here you will find a machine in the center that shines a beam of light to the
east, which was why you were able to enter. You see... every four directions of
this thing, there is darkness. There's something that is currently on the
southern side of this machine that you can turn so that you can move the light
and head in the direction the beam is pointed at. Make sense? Well, start by
turning it to the left, so that the beam is pointing to the south. Now take
that path back to virtually the entrance.
On the horizontal screen you come to, head east to find Ven there waiting for
you by that cliff, so once he's back, head west and north a couple times over
to reach that machine again, and now point the beam to the west. Before
anything, though, make sure that you take at least about six Light Powders
from the machine. You'll need two to clear this place, and you'll want to have
some because of upgrading purposes, plus when they age they become Dark Powder
which is also a very handy upgrading ingredient.
Go to the west now, and on that screen you can climb up and find yet another
finisher for Guillo, this one titled SIGIL CRY, but believe me when I say you
will need that very soon. There's a boulder to the northeast, which only Ven
can take care of. Come on, a strong man like Thoran can't handle that? What
the hell ever, when you come to the end you'll find a path to the north which
is blocked by darkness. Put some Light Powder on the bridge ruins right below
before you do anything else.
Now return all the way around and when you're back at the machine, use some
more Light Powder right a bit above it to form a complete bridge across. Now
all you need to do is turn the machine so that the beam is pointed to the
north, and then when you try and enter, Pieda and Thoran have a quick word...
and guess what Sagi does? That's right, has a relapse and goes back to Sadal
Suud. As Heughes is about to finish everyone off, Palolo II just randomly comes
in and stays a badass.
Now you'll be taken back to the northern entrance of Nunki Valley, but if you
go back to the cliff where Heughes is, you can find a SABER DRAGON HORN to the
north, so might as well pick that up and then go back to Pherkad and do some
magnus upgrades. I might also hope that Milly gets out of that mess alive. But
anyways, just go back to the Sfida and take it back to Greater Mintaka so you
can report to Verus.

Go straight in to Verus's residence and talk to him to report stuff, and he'll
tell you that Anuenue is the next target, to gain Queen Corellia's favor. And
in the process, Geldoblame will also give you eight new blank magnus, which is
a very good thing. Now, Disc 1 is coming to a close and as soon as you take
the Sfida to Anuenue, Disc 2 will begin. HOWEVER! I have an extremely important
notice to make here. Disc 2 instantly begins with a boss fight that many people
think is extremely hard. I disagree, but you might not.
So in preparation, you may wish to go to Cebalrai and stock yourself full of
Mountain Apples. And you may want to get your level and class rank as high as
you can before making the transition. Plus, you should by all means have at
least ten Sedna magnus restored, and be past Rank 2 of the coliseum, escorting
the man in Nunki Valley to Cebalrai by selecting closer, down, and then closer.
Then Rank 3 can begin, which will be an ongoing thing. When you're ready, go
to Mintaka and take the Sfida to Anuenue. Change discs, and...

Disc 2 is by far my preferred of the two even though it starts out slow just
like the last one did, but that's okay. It's Anuenue from Eternal Wings which
was by far my least favorite continent, but it's in your best interest to keep
playing and see all the loose ends wrapped up, lemme tell ya. But either way,
after Milly is done annotating, a Dark Service ship shoots down the Sfida and
it crashes into Holoholo Jungle of Anuenue.

Turns out Sagi emerged from that, and just like any other cliche has it, Guillo
and Milly are lying down wounded. If you're brave enough, save right now but
have a separate slot ready, because like I've said before, the boss you're about
to fight is a bastard. When you're ready, talk to Guillo, Milly, and the Sfida
attendant. And wow, Milly is living proof that Origins's voice acting is better
than Eternal Wings'. Of course, with that, an enormous bird swoops down from
the skies and attacks. Stupid feathered ****ing bird bitch [(C) the AVGN...].
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Holoholo Bird
HP : ~6600
EXP : 2360
Oh my god. This is the grand champion of most annoying bosses ever created.
And I know, most people hate this boss too, but I personally don't think it
is that difficult... it's LONG and freaking ANNOYING. I've never once lost to
this thing, though, just to give you an idea, but if you want to take out
some of the misery that this may bring, you might want to take along some
Mountain Apples from Cebalrai. My Sagi had about 1250 HP for this battle, but
if you have about 2000+ instead... that's at least one thing you don't have
to worry about.
Now let me describe this the way it is. The Holoholo Bird is accompanied by
two Holoholo Chicks, which are weak doing combos for about 200 damage at the
most, but the problem with them is that they can and WILL heal the bird boss
for about 1200 HP every now and then. No joke. 1200 HP. Don't know what you
think, but I for one sure hate to take that much life out with anything
period all over again, especially considering the HP count is already high
albeit slightly inaccurate. The chicks themselves have roughly 1000 HP apiece
if I'm not mistaken, but when they die, the Holoholo Bird will crap out an
egg, and after a turn it'll hatch into a Holoholo Chick. What an ass.
This basically means that all battle along you will be fighting against the
chicks whenever possible, and then landing spare hits on the Holoholo Bird.
Which also means your characters need to come prepared. Sagi, for me, is the
one to do a little bit of anything, because he's always got Heavenfall and
Rime Blade, with either Icebloom or Red Padma in between. Guillo is the
primary character here, because with Icefan + Sigil Cry + Empyreal Wildfire
he can pull out Fiery Ice Queen (that's an oxymoron) and do absolutely
massive damage to the whole enemy party... instantly wiping the Holoholo
Chicks out, and plus if the first three attacks are all "B" style, then he'll
use... Blazing Glacial Queen, which is even better. You know what to do. As
for Milly, if you do a large combo with her that ends in Sevenstar Dust and
then Rising Condor, her Thunder Seriatim is GREAT here for doing damage to
the Holoholo Bird, which is weak against lightning.
Everyone takes an extremely long time with this battle, and for some it might
take longer than an hour. I'm awesome and it took me 16 minutes, so... yeah.
;] You want at any cost to be able to damage those eggs as quickly as you can
when they come out of the master bird's ass, meaning weapons and combos on
them. I think the damage you do to them carries on to the chicks themselves,
though I could be wrong. But either way, conserve combos. And don't even
bother with trying to kill the main Holoholo Bird as fast as you can, because
no matter what you will fail, and 1200 or maybe even 2400 restored HP later
your TV may no longer exist. Just a warning. Focus on the bird whenever you
can, but when something else comes, use L or R and hit the egg around. If you
play this out smartly, you WILL win. That I promise you.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And hey, you get rewarded with Guillo's second level three finisher, called
Heavenlapse. But now you have to navigate your way out of the Holoholo Jungle,
which thankfully is not as bad as it was in the first game. I might also note
it's the first place in the game where you can actually get some really high
quality treasure from, but that's another story. Spit on the bird corpse that
is right above, and at the north-west fork, head west. Certainly a different
place, eh?
Jump across the gap and jump up the platform to get a MIRAGE TURN extra 1+
special for Milly there, and then continue to the west to collect a WHITE CLUB.
Go the extra mile to the very far west to get an ICEBLOOM, and then on the
next screen jump across the stones to the left to get to the far northwest where
an AQUA CAMOFLAUGE awaits, and then jump the stones down and head west there,
climbing up the stuff nearby to come to another RED PADMA at the top. That's a
lot of stuff.
Go to the west here, and you'll come to a rather... large fork. You came in
from northeast; don't bother going straight east, there's nothing to see there
right now. Start by going north-northeast (the path just left of the one you
entered from), and make sure you fight the monster straight ahead for a SEDNA
EBONSTONE SCULPTURE, and grab the HOT SPRING that lies right behind. That, I
might add, is a very good healing item for the moment.
Now return and head west and examine the olifant lying there. Now head west
to find yourself on the exact same screen... and Milly comes up with the
bright idea of clearing a path south to Komo Mai. Okay, go north-northwest on
that large fork screen and draw some Holoflower Nectar, and then use it on the
olifant to send it on a rampage, clearing a path to Komo Mai. That was nice and
efficient, right? Yeah. Leave the jungle and go there now, it's right over to
the west.

What a breath of fresh air from that god awful music in the jungle. Not that I
like this theme either, but meh. You may want to stop by the Library of Magic
before anything and get some Extreme Stress from the librarian, as believe it
or not it's an upgrade material... which you can't do here, you have to wait
until you reach Opu. In fact, I do recommend going to the Anuenue Port before
Komo Mai itself. I have my reasons, ya know.
Once there, talk to the guy that's selling cookies just a bit to the left and
at the back of the crowd, and he'll want you to get him 10 traditional cookies,
and yes, it is mandatory that you do that, but right now, you can move on.
Climb up the ladder nearby and go through the passage over to the left, taking
the path all the way over to a FORCE at the end, and while you're there, trust
me and draw one Chronic Fatigue from the guy there. Yeah, I told you to do it.
I know the consequences.
Now go back and enter Komo Mai for good. Enter the house just to the right of
the one with the orange light coming out, and supposing you've been to Sedna
and talked with the mayor at the entrance, you'll have the Immigration Papers.
If not, do that now and show the guy sitting down on the left them (props for
using the word 'feh'), and give the terrible singer the Chronic Fatigue for an
Election Ballot, which is part of one side quest that really sucks ass. Now
that you're done, enter the magnus shop.
Make sure you buy the SEDNA MILL HOUSE there, and then go to Sedna itself and
restore whatever you can. With that, enter the actual mill house on the east
part of Sedna, and talk to the man inside. Play his stupid game to get the
SEDNA WATERWHEEL, and then restore that as well. When you're done, return to
Komo Mai and head up the stairs in the center. Head straight up into Corellia's
room, and she'll refuse to help, although she does oppose promachination. I
know, she's really annoying.
Back out, Verus gives the order for the group to return to Alfard. That's all
well and good, but first enter the bedroom on the right side of Corellia's
palace to get a MAGNA MIX RECIPE and a MAGNUS PACK COUPON over to the left
side. With that, Milly wants to visit the School of Magic though, so head to
the left building first, and in the first door you'll see a typical boring
class. You can draw Dull Times from the students here to slow down magnus aging,
plus there's a MAGNA MIX RECIPE in the back.
Enter the room on the left of that and learn from the two professors over to
the left, and then enter the right side building. The first room there is
basically a teacher making her students... disappear... plus there's two MAGNA
MIX RECIPES on the sides, and on the far right is two more professors to learn
from. That's enough for now, so now you can leave and go back to the god awful
Holoholo Jungle.

Ugh. This music makes me want to throw up. What's worse, it's titled "Holoholo
Bird", just to pour further salt on open wounds. Whatever. You'll notice it's
raining now, making it dark and a lot harder to see, but that's okay. Just go
east one screen and then to the northeast, and jump across the water to head
to the east, and you'll find the Sfida there. Apparently the attendant can't
fix it, so Sagi has the idea of dialing up Verus... who isn't there. Meaning
you're screwed.
Guess the only alternative is to go back and ask Corellia, but the following
morning, the rain increases the depth of the water in that large fork, meaning
you can't use your wings to jump across. Well, god damn. Take the southeast
path there, and the alternative is to take a Stone there, and then time it to
hit the fruit in the tree above without hitting the Holoholo Chick (wtf...).
I just cut off Sagi's message when the bird runs below, and then throw. With
the fruit in your essence, use it by the pond to lure the whale, then jump
across for some WHITE NIGHT BEANS. And with that, exit to Komo Mai.

I think you can probably guess how this will turn out. Enter the palace and
go to Corellia's room to talk with her guard, who turns out not to be able to
help you to repair the Sfida. However, he recommends you to the School of
Magic. Head outside to find there happens to be someone in Anuenue named Lolo
who is really good with machina, so that seems to be your target now. However,
you need to cross the Holoholo Jungle to get to Opu, where she is, meaning you
arrive at a bit of a pickle.
You need a Landmark Stone from the School of Magic's headmaster to go through
there, but you can't get that until you get credits in Magic, Chemistry, and
Classics. Guess we have no choice. Make sure you speak with the headmaster in
the leftmost room in the left building of the School of Magic, and then enter
the right building and enter the first classroom there. Pass this quiz that you
are thrust into, and you will get credit in magics. The answers are as follows:
Malpercio, the End Magnus, the Bell Which Tolls Time, Children of the Earth,
Flight of Time, the Dark Brethren, Beatrix, 5.
With those easy answers all correct you have one of three credits, and a
PEGASUS ANKLET. As for chemistry, said professor is in the rightmost room and
wants Rotten Food. You can get it from the salesman by the river in the first
screen of Komo Mai. When you have it, take it to the professor for the credit
and an ironic TOXIC DUMPLING. Now, the classics is a bit of a pain in the ass.
Remember that guy in the Anuenue Port who wants ten traditional Komo Mai
cookies? You need to appease him.
However, if you carry more traditional than original cookies to the exit of
Anuenue, you won't be let out. So to remedy that, I'd say clear up 11 magnus
spaces, and get 6 original cookies from the salesman at the northwest. The guy
right towards the south, you can get 5 from and then deliver them to the guy in
the Anuenue Port. Then repeat the process again for an Election Ballot, and
then draw three Good Times from him. Give them to the classics professor and
you get credit and a TOWER SHIELD. Now you can get the landmark stone from the
headmaster and return to that hideous jungle.

Don't worry, this is the LAST time you will come to this putrid jungle and
this awful music. I might add that Vatas, which are the birds you find alongside
Lesser Cordials (that is, that small monster on the screen with the two pads
to jump on in the center, not with water), rarely drop the Siren Sword for
Sagi. Check it out if you want, but otherwise continue north of the Sfida
attendant, assuming you do of course have that landmark stone.
Whether you do or not, a monkey steals it as soon as you enter the next screen.
You HAVE to be joking. Either way, you need to hunt the monkey down, which is
harder than it needs to be because it blends into the background. However, you
have no choice but to look for that little trace of blue amidst the green,
yellow, and orange contrast of this piece of crap screen, so find it in random
locations about six times and you'll get the stone. Now head northwest and
you will finally get to Opu, with a Speed Amulet on top of things.

Time to find this Lolo chick, eh? Well, you'll be taken right into the house
just on the left of the bridge, and it turns out she's really energetic and
develops an instant liking to Sagi, which pisses Milly off obviously... as well
as Guillo. That's creepy. After a rather awkward scene that follows, head
right into the house on the left to find a MAGNA MIX RECIPE to the left and a
MAGNUS PACK COUPON right above. As much as the stuff that the magnus shop gives
you for the coupon sucks, might as well cash it in here, right by the entrance.
Feel free to finally make those upgrades, and then head down the stairs. Talk
to the guy on the left of the waterfall for a MAGNA MIX RECIPE, and at the
bottom you will see the olifant that Sagi chased out of Holoholo Jungle...
really depressed. Give it a Holoholo Fruit (yeah sorry but I lied, you might
indeed have to return to that awful jungle) and it will give you a CLASSIC
CUDGEL and SEDNA POW HOUSE in return. Lastly, enter the house at the bottom for
a RABBIT DASH, and then be on your way to the Celestial Tree.
Once there, the keepers refuse to let you take branches for Lolo, and suggest
you talk to Corellia. Hah, like that bitch will help you. Once again there are
magnus sitting around to tantalize you, which you can't get, but we'll be back.
Head back to the palace in Komo Mai, and you'll hear that the Veinroots of the
Celestial Tree are already being attacked. After that scene, return to the
Celestial Tree yourself, and go to the right of the tree itself.

Guess the attacker this time is going to be Valara. That'll be cool. In any
case, take the lower left path down when you come in, past the red save flower,
and you'll find that the Dark Service has already burned down the roots up
front. So the answer is to talk to Lolo to build a way across, right Milly?
Haha. Just leave the Veinroots and you'll find her right there, and she'll
give you something called the Woodfellah that will let you grab hold of the
five elemental dagroots that she needs.
With that in mind, take the furthest upper right path on the first screen of
the Veinroots, and get the CLIFFSUNDER at the top. There's nothing more you
can do there, so just look at the amount of territory cut off of this place
now! But speaking of which, the paths here are very narrow, making monsters
hard to dodge. I remedied that by mixing five Mounds of Soot from Lolo's place
in the process to give them a point, but okay, I'm getting off topic. Take
the path that's right below that one next.
When you reach that screen, head north at the fork there and then take an
immediate left to find an APSU SOPHIA for Guillo. Now you'll get your first
opportunity to use the Woodfellah to get stuff. Deploy it by the branch on the
right, and you will have to navigate it down first, avoiding the two monsters
there, to get the Lightning Dagroot, and then drag it back. It's a pain, I'll
agree, but at least the monsters go back with you and disappear when fought.
So give it a few tries, and that's 1/5 dagroots.
Now go ahead and try for the Fire Dagroot which is the one above. That one's
easy too; when you get it, return to the first screen, and this time take the
root path straight below, which splits into three. Take the lower right path
and follow it to the right for a PYRE FROCK, then head back down the path
below, and deploy the Woodfellah in the gap there so it can walk to the upper
right and grab the Holy Dagroot, which is a little harder, but certainly
doable.
With that, return and take the path in the center of that root down to the
next area, where you can deploy the Woodfellah below and have it move down
below to grab the Ice Dagroot. However, the Dark Dagroot is just a little bit
different. Make an attempt to move the Woodfellah to the upper right, only for
it to run away because as every cliche has it, darkness attracts monsters. So
decide to try again, and this time have the Woodfellah go to the left and knock
the torch down to burn the root down. Hahaha.
I feel so good now. I don't know why. In any case, use Sagi to just manually
go through and get the SIGIL CRY which is below, and then go up and grab the
Dark Dagroot which is to the northeast past the monsters. With that, return to
the entrance of the Celestial Tree itself, and give all the dagroots to Lolo,
who then creates a cable car. Get the SCARLET CROWN from her and go all the
way to the left for a HIGH POTION and SEDNA WINDMILL, then enter the passage in
between on the previous screen. Turns out I was right, Valara is here with
Shanath. And an afterling shows up, which Sagi refuses to kill, but...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Malpercio's Afterling
HP : ~5500
EXP : 2500
This is certainly one of the more interesting battles in the game. This, the
last umbra in the game, is much different, in that you're trying to attack
the roots that surround it. Let me explain -- this thing has two forms that
it will frequently shift between. When its head is drawn out in front, do NOT
attack it. You don't want it to die, but Valara will hit it with all she's
got, be it her 500 damage combos or her 700 damage Arma Cannon. You don't
want to hit that. However, when it's standing up and behind the roots, you
have about 5500 HP you need to wear thin.
This thing isn't very powerful, plus it's quite slow as well especially
compared to its counterpart back in Nunki Valley; its Veinroot Pulse attack
will do about 500 damage and drain some HP when it's in the form Valara
attacks, and it has another attack that drains about 100 HP to what you need
to hit (naturally...) and does about 800 damage, but that's about it. Main
attacks are 200 damage, so basically hit it with ALL you have when it's out,
and when it's Valara's turn, make sure you heal if necessary and use Force
cards so that you can get a massive combo going when you come back. Remember,
2000+ damage combos will win you this battle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As it turns out, the effort to save the afterling was all in vain, as Valara
blasts it to shreds, and Ssgi gets the usual flashbacks and goes right back to
the dream world.

VIIh. Zaurak Keep
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
- Magnus: Spirilight Quiver, Force, Negative Hat, Efreeti Saber, Wickedwing
Revels, Diamond Drop, Hidden Sophia, Weak Attack B
Yeah, I'm not joking, you're only halfway through the Zaurak Keep, which
Milly also remarks that it seems familiar. Ignore the ladder right to your
left when you come in, and just head over to the left. That screen there is
littered with enormous spiders. I was wondering when they were going to do
that. But either way, one of them will move eventually, so sneak past them
then, and the next screen is another large ghoul dance. Head north past them
and then climb up for another SPIRILIGHT QUIVER and FORCE.
Don't bother going down the ladder now; just return to the ghoul dancing room
and head east, where you will find another hub beam machine. This one's a tad
bit more complex of a puzzle than the last one, but we'll manage. Start by
turning the beam to the south to break past that darkness, and then beat that
enormous demon dog off for a NEGATIVE HAT that was revealed in the darkness.
Yeah, that's all you can get from doing that, but grab the EFREETI SABER right
above while you're here, since it's better than the Kusanagi Blade.
Also since you're around, get a little Light Powder. But otherwise turn the
beam to the right, and at the north-south fork you then come to, go south and...
god damn. That is the most intimidating thing you've ever seen, don't deny it.
Only the ghoul in the center gives a damn, though, so get the WICKEDWING
REVELS everyone is dancing around, and then go up the ladder on the right and
use some Light Powder on the broken bridge. The other end is the cliff about
four screens into the very entrance of this place, if you're wondering.
Now return to that fork and go north, and there you will find two more spiders
and a DIAMOND DROP waiting for you. Plus if you climb up the ladder there you
can find a not so hidden HIDDEN SOPHIA. Now go to the northwest of there, and
you will find a path shrouded in darkness with... two save flowers, one on
either end, one red and one blue. Suspicious, much? Either way, use the
Endmost Bethel to level up and receive auras as you wish, and now let's work on
a way to get in there.
With the beam still pointed to the right, go around past the north exit, and
leave Ven at the ladder just to the left of it. Now you need to return to where
you came in and go up the ladder just to the left, and from there point the
beam to the north. Now go to the right and all the way around back to Ven, and
now you can save and go north. Seph then reveals who he was searching for...
the Dark Brethren. Seph, Thoran, Pieda, Ven, and... Sagi's Guardian Spirit all
agree to give their lives, but of course you need to be tested first.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Rudra
HP : ~8500
EXP : 2733
Many people consider this fight rather difficult, I do not. In fact, I would
even consider it to be easy were it not for its dreaded Heathen Melody attack
which blasts the whole group at about 700 damage. I will say one thing before
we start though, and that is that the Rudra is slow. You can very easily pull
off perhaps four or five turns from the party before this thing gets a chance
to pull off one. Its attacks besides that are combos for 300-500 damage and
draining 100 HP (yeah that HP count wasn't high enough as was), and Feral
Proof, which is roughly 900 damage... not something you want to run into.
Thankfully, the Rudra uses Heathen Melody very scarcely, so you'll be in
good hands. Meanwhile, it's weak against light, so your best option is Guillo
with Ghostarrow, then Spirilight Quiver, then Heavenlapse, even though the
latter has no EX Combos, but Spirit Ward/Enchantment will blast this thing to
nirvana. Meanwhile, Sagi with the Apostolos and Milly with her White Club
will absolutely kick ass with the typical Flame Ice Flurry/Heaven's Glacier
and Thunder Seriatim. Pray that your guardian spirit will bring you healing
cards when necessary, because stuff like Cancerite Booze and Hot Springs will
go a long way here. Eventually you'll win.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And with that, the Dark Brethren give the five siblings the power of darkness.
Back in Naos, a name is suggested for them, and Pieda comes up with the death
defying, SPOILERS name. It's Malpercio. END SPOILERS! That means that this
unknown world you keep entering is the age of the gods. Why you're here, we
still do not know, though. In any case, rest up and go to Cujam. Everyone is
gone, so time to fight the War of the Gods in the east, which is called the
Battlefields of Atria. Get the WEAK ATTACK B before you go though.

- Magnus: Sedna Orange Tree, Sublime Garb, Fulgadrum, Hot Spring, Twelve
Layered Kimono, Lightendrake's Drop, Fair Guardian, Chalice of
Freedom, Warrior's Scarf, Empyreal Wildfire
Wiseman is in here somewhere, so we have to find him. Too bad there's dragons
flying everywhere and the people of Cujam are also encountered here, looking
like angels. But that's beside the point. Get the SEDNA ORANGE TREE when you
enter, and then proceed to the next screen to find a SUBLIME GARB immediately.
Speaking of which, the angels will shoot blue fire at you that stuns you and
leaves you quite vulnerable to enemy attack, so try and avoid that. The dragons
you fight are particularly unfriendly.
At the top is a FULGADRUM; get that if you wish and then continue northeast.
Right to the east is a HOT SPRING, and over to the west which is your
destination anyway is a TWELVE LAYERED KIMONO. So yeah, head west while
avoiding that huge scourge around you, and to the south is a LIGHTENDRAKE'S
DROP for Guillo, and a FAIR GUARDIAN for Guillo. Speaking of which, the Rudra
dropped yet another finisher for him, called Shadowflame Engine, which is
great with Ghostarrow and Wickedwing Revels.
Now make one last detour over to the left, dodging Cujam citizens on every
corner for a CHALICE OF FREEDOM. And with that, go north, and Malpercio will
face Cujam's citizens as a whole, only for Marno to get another headache, and
you're back as Sagi in the Veinroots, surrounded by Valara and Dark Service
men. The former wants to handle you with her machina arma... herself.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Valara [Machina Arma]
HP : ~525
EXP : 2666
A typical machina arma battle that you can't win, but this one's a bit
easier than the one against Heughes. For one thing, Valara's Arma Cannon
attack is about 700 damage to the group, but hey... that's old news. Her
combos are about the same to one character, but hey, the damage you're doing
to the arma is a little higher this time. For one thing, the aforementioned
combo I talked about with Guillo does about 200 damage, so that's a good
start. Make sure you use elemental damage as always, and watch out when she
starts the Hurricane Stance; the attack will be about 900+ damage. But apart
from that she's still weak against ice and lightning, so you're good.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As usual, Valara blasts the group to shreds but actually gives them some mercy
this time around, continuing with promachination. And here, Sagi does the first
of several angry rants that ensue for the rest of the game. It's hilarious when
he does it, believe me. But anyway, we need to retreat from here, so go back
to the surface to collect those two chests from earlier: a WARRIOR'S SCARF and
an EMPYREAL WILDFIRE. Now just return to Komo Mai.

VIIj. Komo Mai
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
- Magnus: Citrine Arc
Once here, go straight up to the palace to talk to Corellia, who will hint that
she'll leave the fell branches in the Veinroots unexposed so you can take
them for yourself. Not bad. However, she still refuses to join the battle
against promachination, so that's that. While you're here, you may want to
sell your junkpile and stock up on things here and in Opu, because very soon
you will fight an EXTREMELY hard battle, so you'll need preparation in every
way imaginable.
Since we're wrapping up Anuenue anyway, take the Poor Excuse for a Joke on
the leftside room of the palace from the minister, and then go down the
stairs of upper Komo Mai. Milly will say she needs to do something, so leave
briefly and she'll come out all depressed. Hmmm, I wonder. Well in any case,
head for Opu now and give the Poor Excuse for a Joke to the man near the
waterfall at the bottom for a CITRINE ARC. Might as well restore Sedna a bit
while you're here... I was up to the Rainbow Fruit myself.
Anyway, back to the Veinroots now. Enter and head to the southeast where the
fell-branches were, and just draw the essence of one. Now return to Opu and
talk to Lolo... who gets happy and Milly gets angry. Guess why. Now enter
Holoholo Jungle from the east and just go one screen west to the Sfida, and
then it gets repaired, and once in the skies, the funniest Guillo and Milly
interaction yet takes place. Enjoy.

VIIk. Greater Mintaka
-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
- Magnus: High Potion, Magna Mix Recipe
Need I remind you that the hardest boss in the entire game is about to be done
battle with... very soon? With that in mind, make sure your stuff is ready to
go, and you certainly want to have Level 2 Attack Auras going into it. Assuming
you have that, head into Greater Mintaka and note the election is about to
begin with everyone in favor of Baelheit, and then go to Verus's room to see
Geldoblame. Supposedly Verus isn't back yet, so Geldoblame will treat you to
his own room.
If you forgot where Geldoblame's room is, just leave Verus's residence and
enter the first door that you see on the main screen of Greater Mintaka. When
you get there, the group discusses various things, such as Shanath murdering
Olgan, promachination... the whole nine yards. After a rest, get the HIGH
POTION at left and a MAGNA MIX RECIPE in the crate on the upper right, and now
let's go see Verus. Take note, this is the last opportunity you'll get. Make
sure you're ready.
But okay, let's get on with it. The election speeches are soon to begin, and
with that, they really do start. Geldoblame's for Verus is boring, but when
you get up to Shanath's for Baelheit... he brings Gena in to demonstrate his
policies. And with that, he cuts her wings off, which sends Sagi into a total
rage. Milly also calls Baelheit by a strange name, hmmm... still, Sagi is
the problem. After screaming at the soldiers... he turns into an afterling.
With that, Shanath shoots Sagi down, and you're back in Atria. Whoa, look at
Seph's and everyone else's full names, though... see something? But anyway,
the sorcerers are going to kill Marno just like anyone else, but what is...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Guillo
HP : ~4200
EXP : 2833
Yeah, you read that name right... he himself is fighting you. And god damn,
this fight is HARD. In my opinion, the most difficult battle in the game
without a shadow of a doubt, and just to properly begin to describe how hard
this fight is, let me note that Guillo (hereafter to be referred to as Dark
Guillo to avoid confusion with the real Guillo, who is for some reason
fighting alongside you with Milly) does indeed have only about 4000 HP, but
defense from hell. A normal combo will only do about 40-70 damage, depending
on who it's coming for. I'm dead serious, and that's with Level 2 Attack
Auras on everyone. If that wasn't enough, his attacks drain HP, be it 130 or
250.
But let's get into Dark Guillo's attacks. You have physical attacks, which
do either about 300, 650, or 1100 damage, and drain about 120 HP. Then you
have Fellstar Gleam, and I guarantee you that by the end of this battle you
will have "FLY, FLAIL, AND SLAUGHTER!" burned into your earlobes. But either
way that attack does about 1200 damage and can indeed be chained to the end
of a combo for pure devastation, and now you have the most evil thing that
will ever strike you in this entire game: Heavenlapse. Oh god, that attack is
deadly... it randomly hits the group for about 2700 damage in total, meaning
on average about 900 damage to everyone. Just to give you a hint, I was at
Level 30, Sagi had 1530 HP, Guillo had 1300, and Milly had 1350. And I could
discard six cards per turn.
Speaking of discarding cards, that's absolutely essential here. Unless you
are either overleveled or using Mountain Apples cheaply, the only character
here who is worth a damn for anything is Guillo. That's right, if you get a
finisher for Sagi and Milly up, just toss it. You want Guillo to be able to
use Blackest Yang as frequently as possible -- that's Weak Attack B, Medium
Attack, Strong Attack, Ghostarrow, Wickedwing Revels, Shadowflame Engine.
Dark Guillo ironically has a weakness to darkness (and S defense to anything
else), so the darkness will help a ton. Blackest Yang will do 2000+ damage,
and everyone else attacking is only meant to build up the MP and to nullify
the HP Dark Guillo will drain from you. Nothing more, nothing less. Speaking
of which, I'd also equip all the Weak Attack B's you have in your inventory.
Good luck, because this fight may very well take you in the double digits
with attempts it'll take to finally win aka get blasted with Heavenlapse.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Guess what happens next. That's right, Guillo walks up to Marno and stabs him
to death. The screen goes red, and the game gets super merciful and lets you
save so you don't have to go through that monster of a battle again. Thank you,
Namco. Thank you. And you emerge in...

- Magnus: The Godling's Rapture, Magnus Pack Coupon, Magnus Mixer, Zelos
Kune, First Aid Kit, Thunderer's Shield, Efreeti Horn, Ghostarrow,
Rising Condor, Rime Blade, Golden Helm, Golden Armor
You're back as Sagi, about to be crucified. What an image; guess he survived
Shanath's onslaught. But anyway, after he starts ranting on and on, you have a
very important decision: to have Marno become part of Sagi, or Sagi part of
Marno. What a joke. If Sagi becomes part of Marno, then the game is over. If
you do indeed choose to have his Guardian Spirit become one with him, then
Sagi is engulfed in white light with power's enhanced, plus Guillo and Milly
come running in to join you again. Now... to escape.
After that scene you will receive THE GODLING'S RAPTURE, which is one of two
level four specials in the game, this one for Sagi and being absolutely great,
but there's one thing to note. If you use Weak Attack -> Medium Attack ->
Strong Attack -> Scension -> Ascension -> Transcension -> Godling's Rapture,
then you will get The Apotheosis, which is the Orlandu/Beatrix of this game in
a way, in the sense that it is cheap and way too powerful for its own good.
Feel free to equip Godling's Rapture, but not the others unless you're a cheap
ass. You also have Zeniver Cascade from that battle, by the way. Rewards, yo!
Now examine the block that Sagi was pinned to for a MAGNUS PACK COUPON, and
then get the chests on either side for a MAGNUS MIXER and a ZELOS KUNE. Now
head outside and you will find the first of two opportunities in the game to
get a lot of Spark Shrooms, and trust me I'd say load up all your magnus slots
with them, because two Spark Shrooms make a Jolt Shroom. Two Jolt Shrooms make
a Lightning Shroom, and those three items are great for upgrades, but you need
them in the first place. Four Sparks = Lightning.
But anyway, I digress. You need one Spark Shroom to get on the cab that's
behind the soldier, so do that and go to the walkway on the left, get the FIRST
AID KIT, and grab another Spark Shroom on the left if you need one, then take
the lower of the two cabs to the southern path. On the next screen, veer right
when you come in for a THUNDERER'S SHIELD, and left for another Spark Shroom
to take the cab to where you finally get a bit of a fork in ways.
If you take the cab to the left, you will come to a machine that will turn
Spark Shrooms into Jolt Shrooms instantly. I'd suggest doing that for a good
majority, because the cab on the right will require a Jolt Shroom to power it
and go down. But once you do go down using it, the right will take you to
another one of the same machines plus an EFREETI HORN nearby, and the left
will take you up into a new area. You know what to do.
You come to a three way fork here; left, up, and the elevator in the center.
Left takes you to a GHOSTARROW and RISING CONDOR, up takes you to a RIME
BLADE... and the center takes you to none other than Shanath, who shows up to
stop you. "Go to hell, you son of a bitch! You hurt my mother!" (C) Sagi. I
have no idea why that quote is hilarious, it just is. But anyway, the battle
with Shanath begins, and naturally he's in an arma. Do about 400 damage and
then Sagi will give up, but Marno manages to help him and thus begins the real
fight.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Shanath
HP : ~8200
EXP : 933
Shanath is easy as hell. By far the boss that poses the least difficult, ever
since at the very least Disc 2. Sure, the HP is highish but he has the least
defense of any boss you've fought since perhaps the beginning of the game,
which is a really nice breath of fresh air compared to Guillo. Sure, his
Machina Sweep attack may be a fairly brutal delivery of about 1000+ damage,
but he can't hit more than one character at a time, and meanwhile, take a
look at Sagi. Use The Godling's Rapture and every hit will be critical,
amounting in 2000+ damage and also knockdown. Seriously, just beat him up
and heal a bit if needed; even the EXP given afterward blows.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Shanath will then go into detail about the whole malideiter project that Sagi
was involved in, and also hints that Olgan was his father. But after he's done,
he just runs away, so get a Spark Shroom and take the cab to the west, and then
just follow the path to the west to find him there, but make sure you get the
GOLDEN HELM and GOLDEN ARMOR there first! After that, just tell Sagi that it's
enough, and his spirit will just give in. Too bad Savyna (remember her?) comes
in and witnesses that spectacle.
So back in the Vega Building Site. Take the cab back to that elevator and head
south to find yourself back in Mintaka, Alfard. I will add now that Milly has
FINALLY gotten her first level three finisher, Phoenix Dive, which is good
with Emerald Thrush and Diamond Drop, plus you have the Ravensbrood now, which
is a nice sword for Sagi. But speaking of Sagi, he only wants to go one place
now though, and that's to the orphanage in Sheratan to see Gena. So head for
Hassaleh; you can't go anywhere else anyway.

- Magnus: Hermit's Cane, Fate Idol, Harp of Slumber, Poison Ashes, Berserker
Drink
Head right into the orphanage on the second screen of Sheratan and you'll
find Gena there, rather unheartful, no pun intended. But in any case, Sagi
wants to find some way to help her, and here opens up three character quests
of sorts that need to be done before you can progress with the battle against
Baelheit and promachination -- Sagi and his trip to Matar Highlands for Gena,
Milly in Nekkar Quietlands, and Guillo in Duhr. Since Sagi's is pretty much
right here, let's do that one first.
Go to the entrance of Sheratan and the doctor will run in telling you that
there's an herb called heartenbrace from ancient times that would help Gena,
but to get to ancient times... you need Marno's help. You can now go to the
age of the gods whenever you want by just examining the Brierclock, but there
are of course, side quests all over the place. First of all, the Coliseum. You
should be at Rank 4 by now. All you need to do for the transition is talk to
Panie in the first house of Komo Mai.
Also, while you're here in Sheratan, head to the doctor's house (first screen)
and talk to him with a bit of a filled up field guide. You might not have it
that filled up, but that's okay, you can come back later. Probably what you'll
get is a HERMIT'S CANE, a FATE IDOL, a HARP OF SLUMBER, POISON ASHES, and a
BERSERKER DRINK. There's also someone in there to show the Immigration Papers
to for Sedna's purposes. But anyway, examine the Brierclock to appear in Cujam,
and then leave and head for the northernmost location: Matar.

- Magnus: Crown of Bubbles, Sedna Well, Armor Alma, Elixir, Ascalon,
Laevateinn the Flameking
Another nice, quick, easy place, except there's just one thing you are going
to have to watch out for: the rain. That's right, this place has a special
kind called heartfall rain, that will knock you out and pit you right back at
the entrance should you be out in it. So to avoid it, use save flowers,
tunnels, or lotus flowers. And when you come in, take a quick left and get the
CROWN OF BUBBLES there, and then the place of destination is straight east.
There, fight one of the large stalking monsters to get a SEDNA WELL. Always a
good thing to do.
To the lower left here is the ARMOR ALMA, which has a whooping 168 defense
that virtually guarantees Sagi to be well defended. If you're looking to get
out of the rain, there's a lotus flower on the right. Not to mention your
destination is straight north of that, climbing up and pushing the boulder off
the cliff. After you do that, jump across to the left to get the ELIXIR, which
I fully recommend switching the Hot Spring(s) out for. Now just return to the
entrance, or let the rain do it for you.
After that, take the path that's directly under the one you went, aka in the
sand and through the water. This tunnel, if you get under the paths above, is
also free from the rain, so keep that in mind. Follow the path up for an
ASCALON, which is altogether better than the Apostolos and even the Efreeti
Saber and Ravensbrood. Don't worry, you'll get something even better by the
time you're out of this place. Now once again return to the entrance; this
time we're going west. That means under the path.
Just follow it up, to the left, down and up. There's not much else to see.
At the set of lotus flowers, grab a Lotus Leaf or two, and then return to the
entrance for the last time. Now head north, and on the new screen, plant a
lotus flower there, and then you wait for it to rain... twice. The boulder
prevents the water from leaving, so the level just keeps rising. When it's
finally high enough to fly across, and you'll find a save point plus the
heartenbrace... but naturally it's guarded. Heartwing dash!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Hearteater
HP : ~9100
EXP : 3167
This thing isn't bad. It's particularly easy if you just heartwing dash
around in circles before fighting so that when you run into it, your MP is
already at Level 2. Its main attack is Ovulate, which does a fair bit of
damage and makes a counter appear that when it reaches 0, will hatch and
eliminate you in one shot. Its main attacks are about 600 damage, nothing you
haven't seen before. Don't bother using Fate's Cordials all over the place,
you're better off timing a Fate Idol along with Hatch and the Hearteater's
attacks. And as for damaging it, it's strong against physical attacks, so
the best bet is elemental weapons everywhere, plus The Godling's Rapture will
eliminate it as always. Just keep your MP up and you'll be fine.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After that, a bunch of them show up, but none other than the White Dragon of
Wazn shows up and burns them all to oblivion. Then you will receive your EXP
and Sagi's final finisher, Blast Tooth, and after that, your reward for this
entire thing is LAEVATEINN THE FLAMEKING, which is likely the best weapon you
will come across (110 attack power compared to the Ascalon's 80). Pick some
heartenbrace and then return to Cujam and ride the Brierclock back to Sheratan.
Now give it to Gena.
Some flashbacks will occur of young Sagi, and now it's all well and good. That
settles Sagi's quest, so now we have Milly's, Guillo's, two others that will
turn up a bit later, plus we still need to settle the score with Valara, Nasca,
and Heughes. Let's take care of Milly's first, so start by leaving Hassaleh
and spinning the dial around on the map until you get to Nekkar, which is only
a dungeon to the west of Alfard.

- Magnus: First Aid Kit, Sedna Main Gate, Anubis Shield, Jiraiya's Robe
This place is retarded. I have no idea why we're even here. But since you are,
just go straight northwest to that magnus there, and... whoa! We fell through
the ground. Yeah, you'll get used to that. You'll fall into a cave with naught
more than some monsters, ladders, and Fire Moss, but head all the way to the
west and go up the ladder there for a FIRST AID KIT, but going anywhere beyond
will just pit you back in the cave. That's fine though, it was the only way to
get that. Head back to the east and take that ladder back up.
Now take the upper path here and go around to the west, and from there just
go north and down the first ladder there. In this cave you will see the rather
famous Sabre Dragon from Eternal Wings, which is a rather menacing opponent.
You can get around it though, so there's a SEDNA MAIN GATE at west, and if you
go up the ladder you can get an ANUBIS SHIELD there. But enough, go back around
the Sabre Dragon and head east.
From here, go northeast and get that chest that taunted you from the first
screen, which contains a JIRAIYA'S ROBE, and then it's just one more screen
northeast. After a rather emotional scene with Milly finally telling the truth,
that Baelheit sent her to observe Sagi, she'll want you to see something else.
There just so happens to be a save point at east, I wonder why. But in any
case, head northeast to the actual summit, and your opponent is a Holoholo Bird
lookalike.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Mange-Roches
HP : ~9600
EXP : 3000
This thing is certainly no Holoholo Bird, despite the fact it uses Wingflail
and has about 3000 more HP. Indeed, Wingflail is about 650 damage to the
party, plus Mange-Roches also has an attack called Trample that does about
900+ damage to one character, but that's pretty much it. The field guide says
that said bird has a weakness to lightning, but I don't find it to be any
more efficient. Sure, Milly can pull off Thunder Seriatim as usual, adding on
Phoenix Dive for more damage, but I certainly wouldn't opt for Guillo to use
Goddrake's Thunderclap, for instance. =) Face it, you've beaten bosses before,
you can do the same to this one.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And your reward for that one is Milly's last level three finisher, which is
rather inappropriately called Open Your Eyes. Okay, I don't get it, but you
can get an even better EX Combo by attaching it to the end of Thunder Seriatim,
plus it hits all enemies, which is a good thing. Now you get the definition of
retardation in this next side quest, to push the statues located around Nekkar
up to the summit. How about no. Head to Duhr (Guillo rocks) and you will land in
Duhr Port. Go west to Algorab.

As soon as you enter Algorab, the Children of the Earth will get all psyched,
but they get calmed down by none other than Krumly. Remember him, from Eternal
Wings mucho? In any case, there's another godcraft here similar to Guillo,
and it's in Gemma. And fortunately, there's none of that awful Labyrinth of
Duhr, Garden of Death, or Zosma Tower in this game's incarnation of Duhr, just
a little bit of treasure to be found. Start by getting the MAGNUS PACK COUPON
just on the left of this house.
When you do that, exit and enter the upper left house, just to examine the
stuff at upper left for a MAGNA MIX RECIPE. Return out and enter the upper
right house, examining stuff at north for a second MAGNUS PACK COUPON. And how
convenient it is that there happens to be a magnus shop just below you and to
the right, though I'd save one coupon for later myself. Plus there's good
upgrades to be done in Algorab, plus SEDNA TOADSTONES 2 to buy, but supposing
you're done, head west to Gemma.

Not much to say about this place, it's the same old Duhr type depressing place.
And speaking of depressing, go up to the very top of this place and to the
right, and you'll find a guy on the right to show the Immigration Papers to.
And with that, enter the westmost house. Head to the far left here, and the guy
will want Mountain Apple Wine. To make it, you need to mix two Mountain Apples
and then a Holy Droplet, which can be found in the barrels of Nunki Valley. If
you do that, you will get an Ancient Mask and a SEDNA PIER.
You can also find a MAGNA MIX RECIPE to the left of there. Afterwards, enter
the house that's on the right, and get the FROZEN GOWN over to the left. Also,
straight in front of you when you enter is a man named Garm, who is a rather
good trader. I'd say invest some time in that. But when you're done, enter the
manor at the top, and after speaking with Kamroh and The Great Kamroh (geez,
creative), enter the door on the left to find a clone of Guillo there, called
Seginus. After Guillo touches it, you're in...

- Magnus: Holy Shroud, Zeniver Cascade, Book of Mana, Deluge The Seabane
...Yeah, I bet you didn't see that coming. Time to find out who Guillo really
is, then, but at least you get one good quote from Guillo upon entrance. Head
north, and on that slightly larger screen north again, to reach what is
essentially the top of this place. When the whole crest in the center lights
up, you're done here. To start us off, though, head south and examine the
red sphere there, and automatically one part of the crest will light up. That
means progress.
Head south there, and yes, you can walk through the squirming stuff and it'll
disappear. Just follow the path and you will come across another red sphere,
but this one will show you some of Seginus's memories. Turns out Guillo and
Seginus were two of four puppets created by the Children of the Earth to stop
Malpercio, aka Seph and the others. With that, return to the center of this
place, where the crest was, and head southwest now. Pick up the HOLY SHROUD on
the way, and continue to another red sphere.
With those two memories and things lit in the center, you can now return to
the normal southern path again, and just follow it further down past some
squirming stuff. You'll find another ZENIVER CASCADE for Guillo there, then if
you head east, another memory. You can now go north of the crest, so return
there, and you'd better save. Just saying. Also, MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU GET
THE BOOK OF MANA TO THE NORTHEAST! Get the BOOK OF MANA. Do it. After that,
examine the north memory for all to come lose about Guillo slaughtered Marno
and his family, then go south... somehow Seginus is responding.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Seginus
HP : ~8000
EXP : 3159
Ugh. This battle is really rough, although some may disagree I don't think
it's a fraction as difficult as Seginus's counterpart from Atria, let me
tell you. He's got Heavenlapse, which is almost the exact same damage, maybe
very slightly more, and Shadowflame Engine, which is about 900 damage, weaker
than Fellstar Gleam. Which is great, considering you have more HP then than
now. The key thing is to knock Seginus down as much as you can, since you
waste way too much time healing, due to his speed. For example, Thunder
Seriatim, The Godling's Rapture... you get the point. Also, abuse Guillo
with a Book of Mana and/or Ghostarrow + Spirilight Quiver, and maybe some
Heavenlapse here and there, since Seginus is weak against light. Really, this
battle does come down to luck more than anything.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And now you finally have Fellstar Gleam, which is Guillo's last level three
finisher. What's to say he doesn't have a level four though? ;] Anyway, with
that Seginus's mission to kill Malpercio (heh, Marno) was "fulfilled", and
he's sealed away. Plus The Great Kamroh steps down and gives the title of "the
great" Kamroh, to our very own Kamroh. There we go. And your final gift is
DELUGE THE SEABANE, a marvelous weapon for Guillo.
Okay, now you're done with three of three character quests. There's still the
three machina arma to settle the score with, and plus, believe it or not, if
you go back to the Battlefields of Atria, you will initiate combat with two
other bosses. I would suggest gathering up some Sedna magnus at this point,
that is finishing out those Immigration Papers plus finding others here and
there, but there's one other little quest to do now. Go to any town where you
get mail, and read Geldoblame's newest letter. Off to the Dark Service HQ.

- Magnus: Ravensbrood, Jupiter Sword, Magnus Pack Coupon, Pegasus Anklet,
Sigil Cry
So as it seems, the paramachina are going on a rampage, and there are dead or
wounded soldiers all over the place. Just as soon as you enter, you'll get
into a battle with some soldiers being ordered around by a paramachina. For
this place, get some lightning weapons, because the paramachina for one are
quite weak against it. Milly is great for that, obviously. So when you come
in, you'd better save first of all, and then enter the room just to the left.
Choose to save the soldiers, of course.
When the paramachina are finished, get the RAVENSBROOD and JUPITER SWORD (oh
yeah for the second one) on either side. Take note that those elusive second
and third spaces in your field guide should now be filled in. With that, talk
to the wounded but not dead soldier right above, and he'll tell you that the
paramachina are being assembled in their usual locker room, but to get in you
need to override the authorization code to open it. Before anything, though,
examine the blueprint in the center for a MAGNUS PACK COUPON.
Override Code A is in the room just to the left of the strategy room, over to
the left. Override Code C is in the next door room to the left, over on the
right. Go downstairs to find Savyna there for some reason, and enter the first
room on the right to find Override Code B inside, at the far upper side, and
as for Override Code D, that's in the room on the very far right, where you'll
also find Savyna, who gets saved by Guillo in a slightly ironic fashion. Grab
it from the table, and let's go back to the strategy room.
Input the digits corresponding from A to D in the green panel just to the
right of the front board, then go to the paramachina locker room. You'll have
to fight four battles which just consist of three paramachina, and then it
looks like you're done. Get the PEGASUS ANKLET and SIGIL CRY, then talk to
the soldier at the foot of Verus's residence, back in Greater Mintaka. Your
reward is the Attack Talisman... OH YEAH! How convenient that the next stop is
to take down the three machina armas! Starting with Nasca. Head to Diadem.

- Magnus: Sedna Flower Bed
There's a lot less going in Diadem in Origins than in Eternal Wings, but when
you enter Sheliak, just go through Elnath and go straight into the Cloudvents.
You might want to pick up a Gust Boulder when you come in, plus Sheliak has
one of the immigrants that you're looking for, not to mention if you first go
to Azha for some Eau de Mouche and give it to the woman on the westmost screen,
you will get the SEDNA FLOWER BED. But enough talk. Return to the room where
you fought the trio back so many moons ago. Nasca mentions Tarazed, but Sagi
doesn't really... you know. Care.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Nasca [Machina Arma]
HP : ~7500
EXP : 4807
This is a rather interesting fight. Nasca's Machina Arma, the Marauder, comes
in four parts: the body, which has somewhere around 7500 HP, two cannons,
which I think have about 2000 HP each, and a cockpit which opens occasionally
to heal any of the three, be it restoring the cannons to full HP when they're
already destroyed, or healing the body for about 1200 HP, which is annoying
as all hell. Ultimately though, your target is going to be the body though,
so change targets immediately and head for it.
Remember, if you're going to hit the cannons, then the cockpit will open and
just bring them back to full. There is a point where Nasca just stops, but
it's really not worth going up to that, since the cannons do 250 or 500
respectively (hint, one's faster than the other), but that's not the problem.
It's the body shooting that evil Plasma Cannon for about 800 damage to the
group, with shock, AND knockdown. That's despicable. However, Guillo is just
awesome here because with his Subzero Festival (Icefan + Sigil Cry + Zeniver
Cascade), you can hit all three targets for mass damage, and if you're going
for one hit wonders, remember that Sagi hits critical with every strike done
by The Godling's Rapture.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Marauder is gone, and only Nasca is left. And now you have a choice: let
him live and get a better ending, or kill him off to start a battle. He's easy
as hell, has about 4000 HP, heals himself which is annoying... and your reward
is a Hades Sophia for Guillo (far inferior to Deluge the Seabane), and about
1800 EXP. Your choice. Either way, you'll arrive back at the entrance to the
Cloudvents. Nothing more to do in Diadem, so why don't we check up on Sadal
Suud and settle the score with Heughes, hrm?

- Magnus: Sedna Odd Sculpture
The final person to give the Immigration Papers to is in the laundry area of
Pherkad. That is, northeast of the first screen from the entrance, not where
you come in from the Sfida. Get it mucho? After you're done there, go back to
Sedna and speak to the mayor for a SEDNA ODD SCULTPURE, plus that's one more
free spot on your magnus. As for the score to settle, just enter Nunki Valley
and go west of the middle screen. There, just speak with Heughes and let's
finish that bad boy off.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Heughes [Machina Arma]
HP : ~9900
EXP : 4635
Despite the rather large HP count, Heughes is quite a bit easier than Nasca.
And here's why: as usual, he can only hit one character at a time. I'll admit,
when he uses Charge you should be quite alert, because the next turn he will
use Burning Harken, an attack that does 1800+ damage to one character and can
quite easily knock Guillo or even Milly out at full HP. But that being said,
Heughes himself is weak against fire, so if you have Sagi pull out Crimson
Skytooth (Heavenfall + Red Padma + Blast Tooth), or better yet, The Godling's
Rapture which is still critical with every strike, you'll have Heughes on his
knees very shortly. Plus too much fire and his machina will take about 400
damage naturally. He's strong and a little fast, but quite beatable.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Once again, you can kill off Heughes for that extra field guide space, some
EXP, a rather easy fight (he has about 6000 HP I think), and a Cold God for
Milly. As for Sadal Suud, there are indeed asserted side quests here, such as
guys in Rodolfo's estate who want, for instance, Mountain Apple Wine or Warm
Cheers (talk to the guy in Greater Mintaka at the entrance to Verus's manor).
Now we only have one machina arma left to break, so let's do it.

-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
- Magnus: Twelve-Layered Kimono, Thor Sophia, Heavenlapse, Herb Flower
There's one notable thing to do here, and that is get that Gust Boulder I told
you to get in Diadem's Cloudvents, and give it to Lolo in Opu. After you do
that, the waterwheel will work again, and you get a TWELVE-LAYERED KIMONO out
of the deal. But anyway, time to tackle the Veinroots. Restore your auras if
need be, and head for the Celestial Tree and then the Veinroots. It's the
same usual place to get to Valara, but while you're there pick up the THOR
SOPHIA and HEAVENLAPSE at left, and the HERB FLOWER at right. Now let's finish
this with Valara.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Valara [Machina Arma]
HP : ~11500
EXP : 5150
Uh... huh. Valara is by far the hardest of the three machina armas, because
of her Arma Cannon attack, which blasts the whole group down at about 1050
damage. That's right, to the whole party, plus knockdown. And you thought
Nasca's special was nasty. However, the easiest part of this battle is by
far when Valara goes into Hurricane Stance, and just uses her slightly strong
(1200 or so) damage Hurricane Punch attack, which only hits one character so
isn't much to worry about. The same strategy with armas applies: have Sagi
use his usual combos, because yet again, every strike of The Godling's
Rapture is critical. Milly with Lightning Turkey is devastating because of
Valara's weakness to lightning, and as for Guillo, you'll want to have a Book
of Mana ready whenever Valara uses Arma Cannon. Keep your HP well above 1000
and/or have a Fate Idol ready, and you should emerge victorious.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And with final use of The Godling's Rapture, Sagi burns Valara's arma, the
Razer, to the ground. Obviously, Valara will want to settle the score with
Sagi, and if you fight her she's really easy like all the others, plus she
drops the Arondite which is a fantastic sword for Sagi, but you CAN get it
later, so I say no, just let her live and get the better ending. But anyway,
while you're here in Anuenue, talk to the woman on the left of the Celestial
Tree entrance for a MAGNA MIX RECIPE.
Well... now we have only one major side quest besides the Coliseum and Sedna
to do now... and it takes place back in the age of the gods, because it seems
Wiseman is still alive. So go back to Hassaleh, ride the Brierclock to Cujam,
and why don't we go over to Atria, supposing you're ready. I was Level 40, and
who knows, if you're higher you're probably better off.

- Magnus: Transcension, Heavenlapse, Spirilight Quiver, Golden Helm, Magnus
Mixer
As it seems, there is a much greater power within Atria, as can be sensed by
the music and the dark clouds. Time to finish what Malpercio started, then.
Atria is much easier to traverse now, as the shamans from Cujam are much less
in number, although there are dragons swooping down from the skies. Head three
screens north, that's it, then northeast of where the War of Gods was fought.
There you'll find a save point, a TRANSCENSION, HEAVENLAPSE, and SPIRILIGHT
QUIVER. Keep going, and you'll find Wiseman, who sics his "pet" on you.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Black Dragon
HP : ~11000
EXP : 3433
This fight is a total nightmare... totally unlike his white counterpart. The
Black Dragon has only one special, and it's devastating -- Crimson Catharsis
is about 3200 damage randomly spread throughout the group, which is a lot
better comparatively than Guillo's Heavenlapse on everyone, for instance.
However, the Black Dragon does have quite a bit of a weakness to light,
despite its rather great defense in general. So before you enter this fight,
I'd suggest everyone have Level 3 Attack Auras on them.
So, back to the battle. Crimson Catharsis has a nice tendency to leave one
character or more alive, as usual, so if anything you may just want to take
some cards out of your arsenal and just have a Book of Mana and Fate Idol
ready to go, so that they have a greater chance of showing up. Just, as
usual, have The Godling's Rapture ready to go, and take this fight slowly,
just doing smaller combos at a time, because if you get on the offensive for
too long, Crimson Catharsis will burn you. Feel free to enter with a few
Mountain Apples to raise your HP, and with a little effort you should win.
Enter round two.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Your reward for that battle, before anything else, is the Apocalypse Sword,
which is of course inferior to Laevateinn the Flameking, but you can get a
lot of different upgrades with it, so use it wisely. But I digress, let's move
on. Wiseman, of course, wants to feed on your hearts, and without anything
really in between, the second battle begins.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Wiseman
HP : ~10500
EXP : 4120
And here we have a fight that's extremely annoying. Wiseman is a real pain in
the ass, and here's the lowdown on him. At any time he can use Illusory Chaos
which does about 1200 damage to the whole party... almost as bad if not
worse than Crimson Catharsis. He also has one technique that is seriously
called Cast Away Your Carnal Robes, which blasts the whole party for about...
300 damage, but unequips them. Which is all well and good because usually I
have nothing equipped when he uses it anyway. And as for his physical attacks,
they drain MP AND HP, and each one is about 400 damage. As you can see, you
have a royal pain in the ass fighting you.
Wiseman is weak against light, making Guillo awesome with his typical Fellstar
Quiver/Trebuchet, plus I say this every battle and will say it again: Sagi
with The Godling's Rapture is decimating, as long as you aren't being cheap
and using The Apotheosis. However, let me point out that Wiseman can use
Illusory Chaos over and over again, and because of that, you need to be on
your toes and have a Book of Mana constantly ready to be thrown out for
absolute recovery. Really, if you have less than 1000 HP for one or two
character, have a Fate's Cordial or Fate Idol ready to use, and if you end up
losing this battle, really, start removing some cards. You don't need 60; if
you have 54, well, that's six less that might get in your way when you
desperately need to heal. With that in mind, go out and slay Wiseman.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
And then the darkness over Atria clears, and the only remains of both the
Black Dragon and Wiseman are their corpses. Speaking of which, if you want to
fight the Black Dragon later at the Coliseum, draw the essence of its horn.
It's in your best interest to do so if you want extra Apocalypse Swords. But
above all of that, you now have Guillo's level four finisher, which is called
Aphelion Dustwake, and if you use it at the end of what you already have in
Icefan, Sigil Cry, and Zeniver Cascade, plus alternate attacks at the start
of the combo, you then have Frigid Queen's Festival. Pure destruction.
Now we really are ready to make some progress towards the game's conclusion.
So now that you've gone from curing Sagi's mom in Matar to killing a godlike
being in Atria, ride the Brierclock in Cujam back to Sheratan, and go right
to the orphanage, and you'll be informed that the Empire has a fortress called
Tarazed that's creating a problem. Go back to Greater Mintaka, and let's grab
a word with Verus about that.
After you talk to Verus, a rumbling is heard, darkness is cast across Alfard,
and the island leaders look on as Tarazed is launched into the skies, as big
as a continent. Now the only thing left to do is storm Tarazed via the Sfida,
and settle it with Baelheit once and for all. So with that, go back to Mintaka,
and go to Baelheit's residence. No one's there anymore, so enter the second
room for those two chests: a GOLDEN HELM and MAGNUS MIXER. Target Tarazed on
the map via the Sfida... we aren't there quite yet.

And here we are at last... just head one screen east and you can just gape at
this place in its entirety. Huge, isn't it. Time to get going through it,
however. On the hi-tech area, just go to the east to find an elevator that
doesn't happen to be working. Talk to the mechanic standing right by the
switch in the center, and he'll ask you to go talk to the old mechanic in the
cafe about it. Alright... head north to find a blue save flower already. Huh,
I wonder why. First: the east door for a MAGNUS PACK COUPON. Alright, back.
Go through the straight north exit, and at the northwest-northeast fork, just
go northwest to enter the cafe. Get the PYRE FROCK at the upper right and
speak with the third guy on the second floor up, and he'll tell you that you
need to take the blue wire and attach it to the green. Simple enough. Return
to the fork and then head northeast, and through the northern door for a
TRIGON BAND; in the southeast, open up the bath stalls there for a SEDNA HOUSE
3. Hellz yeah! Plus, go back to the elevator and reiterate the scheme to the
mechanic.
Not only does he lower it, but he gives you a BOOK OF MANA too! Wow, how nice!
But anyway, when you're on that floor, there's nothing to see to the east
except some Fresh Air from the vents. If you head west, however, you'll come
to another elevator, and if you go north you'll find the magnus shop. SWEET,
this... cash in all your coupons that you have left over, the fantastic magnus
will pay off. Hint: Elixirs and Fate's Kisses are awesome. Plus the upgrades,
don't forget those.
But alright, back to the elevator right below that magnus shop. Take that up
and you come to a three-way fork: south gives nothing, northwest goes to a
very good magnus trader by the name of Lalune whom I'd definitely recommend
checking out, and east leads to Tarazed, but on the way you'll find three guys
there with machina who will transport you anywhere in Vega, plus give you a
FATE'S KISS, all for just a Lightning Shroom. But anyway, if you're going east,
get the FREEZING GOWN along the way and enter Tarazed. However...

- Magnus: Sedna's Light, Sword-Shaped Earrings
There's not a whole lot to say in the transition between Vega and Tarazed,
except now really is the time to wrap up both the Coliseum and Sedna. Starting
with the Coliseum, assuming you haven't been small talking the registration
lady too much, after a certain amount of time lapsed, you should be able to
progress from Level 4 to Level 5, simply by going to Vega and talking to Panie
in his residence once more. That's easy enough for a promotion. Do that... and
then get the necessary RP to move on to a qualifier.
The champion round in the Coliseum is five battles, with only the fifth being
really difficult. I recommend setting up a special deck of about 35-40 cards,
only consisting of the major combos for everyone (if you want, go ahead and
use The Apotheosis and Frigid Queen's Festival), and you should be able to win
that. And when Sagi becomes champion, go back to Diadem if you want and talk to
Lance and Elle, and now you can also fight several old bosses (Sandfeeder, Lord
of the Lava Caves, Black Dragon, etc.) if you have their carcasses. Plus the
Wicked Gawd, but save that for... later.
As for Sedna, you should be moving on to getting every last piece, but the
twenty-fifth one is in Vega's bath stalls. There are 26, however; talk to the
girl in Sedna by the tree and she'll tell you that there's one final piece.
The SEDNA'S LIGHT is located in The Endmost Bethel just to the left. You will
also find a note saying that none other than Wiseman was the one to destroy
Sedna, and when you give it to the chick, she'll tell you her life story and
fork over the SWORD-SHAPED EARRINGS.

So! You actually have the GALL to set forth in the final dungeon of a game
that is legitimately harder than almost all of the RPGs released in today's
day and age? Excellent, so do I! Start by just mowing through the defenses by
going one screen north, and there you'll find yourself in the Main Block of
Tarazed. Let me explain this: you've got the Main Block, Blocks A-D which can
be accessed through trolleys and must all be completed to continue past the
Main Block... and what lies beyond. Let's do this.
Just for the record, I also happened to be at Level 43 at this point, with my
class level at 19 although it doesn't matter at 16+. The Coliseum does that
for you. At the two save points, you have three ways to go: east, which goes
nowhere at the moment, northeast which leads to an escalator that you need to
walk up but it goes down and is thus useless, and northwest. Go there, examine
the paper on the floor which starts you off on the recipe for the Celestial
Tree, an IDIOS PYR, and a control panel at left.
Fiddle with it to make the trolley work, and then take it to Block A. When you
get there, you'll find it's rather... similar to the Imperial Fortress of
Eternal Wings, in a way. Start by heading one screen west, and go north from
there to find three things, besides a soldier: two more continuations of the
Celestial Tree mix report, and a WILD GOD, which is a rather good weapon for
Milly. Gather all of those up and then go back to the hall from whence you
entered, and keep on going east.
Two screens east of where you came in, head north because it's the only way,
go up the escalator and out of that room, then west. Three screens in said
west direction, go north up the escalator to the third floor, and then go two
more screens west back out in the hall, then north, and you will come to the
Hassaleh Control, or whatever. Well, not bad, this is the end of Block A! Just
get the Elite Imperial Crest at west, and you'll find you can't open the door
there... without it. Wow, this game has mercy.
Take the conveyor belt to the left and you'll find yourself at a bit of a
puzzle of sorts. Well, not really, but basically, navy blocks that are in your
way can be moved through using your heartwing dash, blue blocks are just places
for you to rest, and red blocks are bad; run into those and you start back.
Just for landmark purposes reading through these mountains of text, and to save
me the frustration of guiding you through these, I'll handle this ASCII style.
Dig? Just follow the numbers and rest on them. Don't bother with zeros, or hit
the x's. The "E" is the exit.

And when you finally do arrive at the northern end, you'll find one of
Malpercio's afterlings there. After Marno frees it, the room collapses, which
sends a quarter of soldiers in a large room running. Better head south and
go back to the halls of the third floor and go back to the Main Block now, so
that means in the halls, three screens east to get down to the second floor,
three west to get to the first, and then two to the east to return to the Main
Block.
Remember that screen with the save flowers on each side? Go back there and head
east this time, and fiddle with the control panel the same usual way, and in
the process you'll reverse the Main Block escalators. Good, head northeast on
that screen now and up to the second floor. Just head to the west to get up
to the third, and over to the east in the center you'll see a screen where
on the other side you can see Baelheit and his men. We're coming, I promise
ya. Right after we make a big distraction. East for an ELIXIR.
Go up to the fourth floor, and go through the door just to your left to find
some SAINT'S ARMOR there, and after some more crappy monotonous identification
the elevator will activate to take you down to the first floor if you want,
but who wants to do that. Keep going west, and in that room you'll find the
fourth piece of research for the Celestial Tree mixer, plus the trolley which
can take you to any of the remaining three blocks. I opt for Block B.
When you do arrive in Block B, go to the halls and head east as far as you can;
I think it's four screens, and then go north to find you're ALREADY at the
Diadem controls... or in other words, the end. However, take the northeast door
and head out on the conveyor belt to find puzzle two out of four. ASCII,
peoples? This one's different, though. I'm not going to outline the whole
thing as that's pointless... because this consists of some teleports. Simple,
though... 4 connects to 4, etc.

F for theory, A for execution? Whatever. Enter the room up ahead and free the
afterling to have the place collapse, then head all the way back east to the
beginning of Block B. From here, you can either go to the Main Block, heading
all the way back to the first floor and entering Block B through there, then
treking your way up to the third floor just for the fifth piece of the recipe
if you want, but otherwise, let's go straight to Block C from Block B, shall
we? Completion is of the essence.
Once on Block C, go one screen west and ride the escalator to the third floor,
then head two screens to the west to find a room with a hologram of Tarazed
there. Not to mention two more entries on the Celestial Tree report. That
makes seven, but let's keep going. Head one more screen west and let's return
to the fourth floor. Just one screen east, and we're on the fifth floor. Go
twice to the east and you will find... Tarazed's bathroom. In the fifth stall,
oddly, you'll find a BLAST TOOTH.
Equally unusual is, in the first stall, an eighth report on the Celestial Tree
mixture. That's enough already, but oh well, leave, and head as far as you can
to the west to find Sadal Suud's control area. Just keep going past the same
old conveyor belts until you come to the usual puzzle room before the
afterling. ASCII, as par usual. Oh yeah, fail enough because half of these are
camoflauged, and Guillo and Milly will help you out so that you can go for
about three times as long.

Release the afterling, part of this man made world collapses, and go back to
the halls. East twice, down to the fourth floor, then east all the way back to
get back to the control area. Now we're on to Block D, which just so happens to
be the last block. Just go four screens over to the east and enter that room
to find a SHADOWFLAME ENGINE inside, as well as the ninth and very final piece
of the report on the Celestial Tree recipe. Good, if you mix the Celestial
Tree itself with the Arondite, you'll get none other than the Excalibur.
Return three screens to the west, and then ride up to the fifth floor again.
In fact, you can just go three more screens to the east and you're already at
the Anuenue controls. That was rather fast, once again. Just head up, and you
come to another one of those funky teleport rooms. Don't worry, it's the last
puzzle and last diagram. Oh yeah, and the A is a 10. Just saying.

So when you get done with all that, release the afterling there, and then the
room preceding Baelheit's chambers has only the captain left. So with that in
mind, we've gotta leave Block D. On the fifth floor, go west twice to reach
the fourth floor, and then go west three more times to return to the trolley.
And now, if you go to the Main Block, you'll have to start from the first
floor, make your way up to the third and crash the window, then head through
the door and save. Baelheit is in that room, and after some talking, shoots
Milly (that's a nice thing to do to your daughter)... and only Sagi remains.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Baelheit
HP : ~1000 / ~10750
EXP : 6180
This is my favorite battle of the entire game. It's epic and climactic in
every way, from the fact it's two fights with one being solo, two swordsmen
spiriters in style, from the music. The True Mirror, the orchestral version,
is nothing short of stunning. But anyway, like I said, the first part of the
battle is just Sagi vs. Baelheit, and you only need to do about 1000 damage
to him before it fades back into the cutscenes. And you can pretty much win
this based on speed alone; Sagi can get about 1.5 hits for every one of
Baelheit's, so if you use an Apocalypse Sword, Ascalon, or anything better,
plus a finisher or two with an EX Combo, you can win.
Watch for Seraphim Soul, however, which is quite reminiscence of Eternal
Wings, so if you don't want to rush this or build that MP up to the point of
being able to use Blast Tooth or the like, you can go defensive and succeed.
So then Baelheit reveals his life story to the party, and then round two of
the battle begins. Once again, Baelheit is neither too easy nor too hard,
just a perfect medium. Ironically, the character that Baelheit will most
frequently target is Milly, so you might want to have your eyes kept on her.
Baelheit's attacks are as follows: his combos will do about 300, 700, or 1200
damage, usually leaning toward the first two.
His Hellfire attack, once again Eternal Wings stuff, is about 1200 to the
party, plus knockdown and flames, but he doesn't use it too often, making a
Book of Mana generally adequate. Plus he still has Seraphim Soul for about
1400. Although Baelheit is weak against darkness, there really is no need to
use it instead of anything else Guillo has, such as Aphelion Dustwake for
instance. There's no real need to still rely on High Potions either, because
if Guillo is equipped with one or especially two Books of Mana, Baelheit
really can't touch you. He doesn't have a whole lot of HP, but do enjoy this
battle and DON'T ruin it by just overkilling him with The Apotheosis.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Besides the tremendous EXP amount, your gift for that victory is a Prominence
Sword for Sagi and a Fate's Kiss. However, you won't have time to notice it,
because Verus manages to walk in, kills Milly's father himself, laughs evilly,
and says that basically he used Shanath, the group, and everyone else in
accordance of his plans, and after ditching Geldoblame and stating that he
had the "whore" Gena's wings pulled out, he goes into Tarazed to rule the
world. The bastard. Now the real villain is out.
Talk to Baelheit one more time... you'd never think that his death would be as
tragic as this. Oh well, time to chase Verus into Tarazed's core. Interestingly
enough, however, if right now you leave Tarazed (yes you can get out by
defeating the captain, which will disable the crestwall), Verus's manor is now
deserted... too bad there's nothing there. Oh well, when you get to the floor
just below, Verus sends some machina after you and just retreats further down.
Trample them underfoot, and let's chase him.
Jump down the pipe right below, get the PHOENIX HELM, then jump down. Head up
that pipe and then jump down for a PHOENIX DIVE (hey that works). Keep hopping
down and then head west. In the next room, follow the path east, and at that
fork, get the OPEN YOUR EYES at north. No, you can't avoid getting attacked;
don't try. In any case, the north and west paths will meet up at the end and
net you a LIGHTENDRAKE'S DROP. Keep going west from there, past the shutter.
You'll find a TRANSCENSION at the end of the path. Jump down again to find the
game's final save point. Nice, might as well use it. One more time, jump down
the pipe and get a third BOOK OF MANA to the right, which is rather excessive
but hey, it's the best accessory in the game. Now jump down into the pit below,
and if you want, climb up the pipes on the left for a FELLSTAR GLEAM. That's
it, though... head one screen north past the dragon, and you'll find Verus
there, now manipulating the machina. With that, he throws his staff down and
takes you on himself.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Verus & Machinaguis B x4
HP : ~4000 & ~1500
EXP : ~14077
You read those HP totals correctly. However, there's a lot more to this
fight than that. For one thing, the battle begins with two battles against
two Machinaguis A's. They're easy as hell, so just strike them down. As for
the third battle, you're faced with Verus and the Machinaguis's, and your
targets are the machina. Hear me out: if you attack Verus while the machina
are alive, you can't damage him. Either it'll do 0 damage, or one will swoop
in and defend him. So don't even try that. Instead, switch over to the
fourth target; that way, it'll go from 4 to 5 to 1 to 2 to 3, which is Verus.
Verus himself isn't really that bad, although he is slightly stronger than
Baelheit. He's got combos anywhere from 300 to 1200 damage, plus he has a
special called Death By Stomping, which does roughly around 1500 damage. But
trust me, most of the time you'll just be cursing at him because he's using
Tentacle Recharge to bring the machina back to life, which annoys anyone to
no end. You have options though, ESPECIALLY if you beat Wiseman back in Atria
which you definitely should have. Then Guillo will have Aphelion Dustwake,
which is the number one skill in this battle. If you use Frigid Queen's
Festival or even Parade, all of the machina will be wiped out, and Verus will
only really bring back one at a time if he's left alone at one point, so you
can hit that, and then Verus with his puny 4000 HP will die VERY fast. Also,
Sagi with The Godling's Rapture will hit critical every time, meaning it'll
instantly eliminate any target of the five. Easy battle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
What an epic battle that could have been, challenging the likes of Baelheit,
but instead it was annoying but easy. Damn. Well, I hate to say it, but if you
were an idiot (sorry) and didn't go back into the past and fight Wiseman, then
that really was the final battle. Hey, if you're disappointed, you deserve it
for not fighting him. But if you DID beat Wiseman... then you'll hear his voice
cue in right now after the machina devour Verus... and then they merge into a
godlike being. And then the final battle is staged within the stars.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Verus-Wiseman
HP : ~16000
EXP : 6666
The god in nature is rather more similar to Wiseman than Verus, but that's to
be expected because the latter is so much more developed in the battle
department. What you have before you is a far more worthy final boss than the
last one, although two Books of Mana still does make it cheap, as do things
like The Apotheosis and other such crap that no one valuing the beauty of
this game's combat will use. But that's beside the point. Verus-Wiseman's
attacks each do about 400 damage, and there are up to three of them, as par
usual. But to end the dull silence, just use anything and do somewhere around
2000 damage, and it's a fade out.
With that, the god attacks the whole party, but guess what? Malpercio comes
to your aide, and Le Ali de Principio, which really is an incredible theme,
is your BGM. But now, let's focus on some more attacks. The god can use
Cast Away Your Carnal Robes, which still drains about 700 HP and does about
300 to the group; but much worse is its ultimate Magnus Of Life, which also
drains an amount I can't calculate because of the speed of the green numbers
that show up, but overall does 1000+ to the group, knocks them down, and
causes freeze. Always bad. But anyway, as always, a Book of Mana will get you
out of this, and although the battle may very well drag out rather long,
all you need to do is use what's worked well for you in the past, and you
shouldn't have a problem.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now enjoy the ending. I know, it's not technically the ending yet, because
Tarazed will start collapsing, and you actually do have to backtrack your way
out of Tarazed and Vega all over again, but there's plenty of cutscenes along
the way, some tragic, some happy, some caught right in between. And no, I do
not get it either, but that's not entirely a bad thing. Hope you enjoyed Baten
Kaitos Origins, and here's to a new entry on the DS.

you do this your prize is an Elemental Talisman.
51. Citizens wanted!
-> Sedna, Mayor
Here's basically what you have to do. Get ten of the Sedna magnus, then the
mayor will show up near the entrance. Talk to him, and he'll want you to show

them down, so here they are:

- Sadal Suud: the girl in the laundry room in Pherkad

Your reward for all that is simply another piece of Sedna, the Sedna Odd
Sculpture.

And with that, you see before you a list of all the enemies in the game (at
least whatever's in the field guide)... and a separate section for the boss

quantity.

Xb. Bosses
-~-~-~-~-~-~
You could look in the walkthrough at the appropriate section... but who wants
to do that. Here are them bosses. ;]
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Hideous Beast
HP : ~600
EXP : 250
Baten Kaitos Origins has some tough bosses, and even this first boss is no
exception to that maxim. First of all, Sagi should have about 250 HP if you
are as I was, but be ready to face this creature's Mountainmaker, which does
about 80 damage to both Sagi and Guillo, the latter of which fights for
himself and is also very useful in throwing out Low Potions to heal a bit of
HP back to you. While the Hideous Beast is indeed slower than you, its combos
are a good 60-80 damage in themselves, so watch it.
Whenever you can, draw the Flash Dagger or even the Punk Knife, and chain
together a combo which ends in Scension or Cliffsunder, even if you have to
discard a bunch of cards beforehand to do so. It'll definitely pay off when
you do about 70-90 damage with your combos themselves, and let's not even
get into Guillo, who is well in his ability to use his Firewheel and
Fulgadrum, which are stronger than Sagi's stuff anyway. Don't hesitate to
use Low Potions when your HP dwindles below 100, and you should be fine.
Eventually, this thing knocks both Sagi and Guillo out anyway.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Giacomo
HP : ~1600
EXP : 500
Okay, let me cue you in for this one. If you are unprepared or don't know
what the hell you're doing in combat yet, Giacomo will kick your ass. And
not just a gentle kick; he will pummel your rear end into the ground swiftly
and decisively, spit on its decayed remnants, and laugh at your funeral. Get
the point? I absolutely guarantee if you still aren't used to battles, then
despite only being 13 (and being voiced by the same guy who did Luke and
Asch in Tales of the Abyss!), you will reduce him to critical every time, and
then one of his combos will one hit you.
First of all, I was Level 6 and 5, with Sagi at 400 HP and Guillo at 270. No
idea how much the scantily clad chick has, but she can take care of herself
with Low Potions. Just some notes on Giacomo's attacks. He has one special,
called Thrashingale, which will do a good 160 damage to you, no joke. His
combos can do any range of damage from 30 (a welcome to relief) to the upper
100s, and if he links Thrashingale to the end, his whole combo will do about
350 damage. No joke. And yes, he's a little on the fastish side. Not quicker
than you, but quicker than you'd think for that kind of strength.
Luckily, the chick is there to take hits, and she seems to have quite a bit
of HP on her, which is a good thing. Giacomo himself has a lot of HP for a
boss of his time, but note that he is NOT strong against fire, like he was in
Eternal Wings. So just punish him with any combo you can rank up, beginning
with weapon cards. If you can get a Flame Sword or something, then weak,
medium, strong, and a Cliffsunder at the end, that will do a ton of damage,
and Guillo can do even more as his physical strength is greater. Plus the
girl has Swallowtail and Emerald Thrush for extra damage, but I'll have you
know now, that you want to keep Low Potions and Fate's Cordials around for as
long as you can, because if he's going to knock you out, you might as well be
ready for it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Hideous Beast
HP : ~1450
EXP : 800
Okay, as usual I'll give you a bit of an idea as to my HP and levels. I was
on average Level 8, with Sagi having 495 HP, Guillo at 355, and Milly at 415.
As usual, this thing is a bit strong-ish. Its main special is an attack
called Icy Death which does about 200 damage to one character and knocks him
or her out, plus it has an attack here and there which pummels the whole
party at a little over 100 or so. Apart from that, the maximum the combos can
do is about 160, and this thing is the slowest boss yet... much better than
Giacomo was.
The strategy isn't really going to differ here, except keep an eye on your
HP whenever it gets below 200, as this guy can probably knock it out with
about that much. It's not weak against fire, but that being said, if you get
Sagi with a Blaze Sword and a combo ending with Heavenfall, you can and will
do massive damage. Just regulate your stuff so that it's not all equipment,
making use of the fact you can discard three cards at once, and you shouldn't
have a problem. It just ends with it knocking you out anyway.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Valara [Machina Arma]
HP : ~175
EXP : 1040
The first instinct you'll probably have is to laugh at Valara's HP count, but
let me spell it out for you: you can't technically win this battle; Valara
and her machina arma are just far too powerful for that. You just have to
draw that much HP out of her, and believe me that while this battle isn't
one of those stay alive for a certain number of turns type, she's strong;
her Arma Cannon attack is about 280 damage to one character, and her combos
combos can be anywhere between about 40 damage... and 300.
Sagi is nigh on useless in this battle aside from a Thunderfish chained with
some extra attacks and a Cliffsunder. Valara has a very slight weakness to
lightning, so the number one attack in this fight is Milly's Sevenstar Dust,
which can do up to 20 damage. Yeah, I know, the damage you do is pathetic.
Guillo is great with a Mars/Fire Sophia finishing off with a Fulgadrum, but
you mainly need to focus on healing, since Valara's attacks are, well...
powerful. Always keep at least one Fate's Cordial and one Potion ready, and
end the fight with everyone alive, since 1040 EXP for everyone isn't bad.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Sandfeeder
HP : ~2750
EXP : 1250
Whoo, now that's a whooping high HP count, plus this thing is the first of
many bosses that actually drain a little HP every now and then, but believe
me, this beast isn't that bad even if it has close to twice the life of the
second highest boss aka Giacomo... mainly due to your speed and its lack of
defense. Let me just say the usual. If your levels are as mine, Sagi will
have 630 HP, Guillo about 480, and Milly about 500. The Sandfeeder's main
attack is Paralysis Quills, which does about 150 damage. Bad? No.
However, this attack will usually put you to sleep, and if you're asleep on
its next turn, it'll not only do about 250 damage to the character it gets,
but it'll heal itself for about 30 HP, which isn't pleasant. But okay, that
isn't as bad as you might think; Valara was much worse. Speaking of which,
Sagi can make up for his lack of usefulness in the previous fight here, cuz
the Sandfeeder's weakest element is pure physical attacks. So just whip out
that Saber and do three attacks ending with any finisher, and that's about
300 damage right there. This fight is only a little longish, not hard, trust
me.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Umbra
HP : ~2350
EXP : 1250
This thing is a bit on the powerful side, so I hope that you've got your ice
magnus ready, prepared for quite the battle. For me as usual, Sagi had 715 HP
while Guillo had 595 and Milly 615. That's enough; you need to worry about
the offensive. Sure, you may be slightly faster as usual, but this thing's
extremely rare Mountainmaker attack will do almost 300 damage to the entire
party, plus there's Hellion Eye, which blasts one character off the ground
at about 350-360 damage. Apart from that, the combos are just in the 200
range or so, nothing extremely special.
As you can see, those numbers are a little high, and not one of its attacks
can be considered nothing to worry about. Because of that, your interest is
in finishing this thing off, but making sure a Middle Potion (which should be
replacing if not done replacing all the regular Potions), and stacking up
those EX Combos. Even if you're just constantly discarding four cards every
turn, make sure you get any of them, order of preference: Double Frost (up to
mid 700s if done right), Wheel of Fire and Ice (about 600 damage), Heavenly
Bloom (mid 500s). But all of them are good. It all ends with you being blown
off your feet anyway.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Lord of the Lava Caves
HP : ~4300
EXP : 1510
Okay, that HP total there is not a joke, or a lie. It's also not a figment of
my imagination, although you can give or take a hit point here and there.
But that's beside the point; I can understand the point of having higher HP
bosses, but this thing just went WAY, WAY too far. 4300 HP, seriously... and
I'll add one point, that it hangs to one side that almost looks like it's
critical. It's not. It's just mocking you. You may have thought this thing
was easy before, but the fact this thing has 4300 HP makes it several
exponents more difficult.
You're probably used to this thing's attacks by now, added in with the fact
it's a lot faster than the Umbra or other things, plus it has the strongest
attack you've seen yet, called Molten Blast or something like that, and it
does 450 damage. Not to mention this thing absolutely loves to chain it to
the end of a combo and do in excess of 800 damage... pretty hard to live
through even at full HP, people. As such, focus on taking as much HP as you
can off of this thing. If you get an opportunity, use MP Burst, but don't
make a specific attempt for it. You want to chain and relay a lot of ice
related stuff, because huge 1500 damage combos which add in causing freeze
are by far your best bet. This battle will last a while and is the hardest
battle since Giacomo, believe me, but this thing will go down eventually.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Giacomo
HP : ~3600
EXP : 1660
That's right, Giacomo is back and just to add insult to injury, he's brought
two imperial soldiers with him. It is absolutely REQUIRED that you roast the
soldiers before you do Giacomo in, because they can do up and past 200 damage
per hit, so if you're like me with Sagi at 920 HP, Guillo at 745 and Milly at
765, you'll run into a bit of a problem. So when you finish the first soldier
off with some heavy duty combos, move right on to the third target aka the
other soldier, and lay him to waste. If you leave all three alive, you will
die, and very quickly.
Giacomo himself attacks with combos which can be anywhere from 70 to 350
damage, and a new technique called Thrashingale Redux, which hits one
character for about 450 damage and always, ALWAYS knocks that character down.
That is quite a pain and should certainly be treated with a Middle Potion
after it strikes. As usual, keep a few Fate's Cordials handy and don't let
up on the offensive even after the soldiers are gone, and this fight should
probably not be quite as bad as the last one, plus if you do a well executed
MP Burst you can do perhaps mid thousands worth of damage; as Giacomo in the
life department is far more merciful than that last little nuisance.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Valara & Nasca & Heughes
HP : ~3100 & ~1800 & ~1800
EXP : 1567
Okay, you remember the trio battle from Eternal Wings? If not, let me spell
it out for you again: it was arguably the hardest fight in the game. So is
this freaking one! I'm not joking; this fight is ridiculously hard and even
if you aced everything up to this point this battle will annihilate you. For
one thing, these three can team up and do by far the strongest attack up to
this point: Machina Formation, which is roughly about 700 damage to one
character, though this is honestly the least of your worries as it only hits
one character and slows all three of them down, plus they obviously can't
chain it to a combo.
I was Level 19 for everyone, Sagi had 960 HP, Guillo 840, and Milly 860. That
probably will be enough to get you through this. However, more bad news; you
absolutely cannot win this battle without EX Combos, preferably really good
ones like True Heavenly Bloom instead of Heavenly Bloom (Weak Attack + Medium
Attack + Strong Attack B + Heavenfall + Icebloom). But let's get straight to
the point. You should take these three out in the order they're presented:
Nasca, then Valara, then Heughes. Why Nasca first? Because despite the fact
his attacks are pathetic (200 damage is his max with Stun Grenade plus blind)
he uses Gashprin Salve to HEAL these bastards for about 650-750 HP. That, my
friend, is absolutely unforgivable.
Nasca is actually kind of strong against elements, so plain out brutality is
best against him, with the strongest stuff you can manage. Do not hold back
one single thing no matter what state you're at if he's critical and isn't
going to go for awhile, since his AI is a bit smart. When you're done with
him, make sure you heal yourself as much as possible, because Valara is the
strongest of the three, with her Deathdealer attack doing about 450 damage,
though there's no Machina Formation anymore, thank god. She's a little
strong against lightning, but that's really it. She does have a hell of a lot
of HP, though.
Don't let up for one second, like I said. Use Bandages like there's no
tomorrow. I'd say keep absolutely no less than one Fate's Cordial and one
Middle Potion ready at all times. Ditch those crappy beans and Low Potions
and stuff. And use advanced weaponry and stuff like Circuit of Fire and Ice
instead of the wheel. With a little luck Valara will go down while you're
still alive, and if you can get only Heughes still alive then you're pretty
much in the clear, as his Machina Fist, which is rarely used, is only about
330 damage or so, and his attacks are (usually) pitiful, plus he's slow.
He's weak against elements, making him a very quick finish. In fact, kill him
before Valara if you're paranoid, but just heal, heal, heal. Try not to let
your HP sink below 400 if you can help it. If you can do that, you'll emerge
victorious.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Nasca [Machina Arma]
HP : ~200
EXP : 1833
As you can tell by the HP count, this is one of those battles in which you
do almost no damage but are forced to stay alive for a period of time. And
yes, you do even less damage to the Marauder that Nasca is piloting than
Valara's thing back in Sheratan, plus Nasca has an attack called the Machina
Cannon which does 450 or so damage to the party, and his physicals do about
600 to one character, but what's the catch? He's EXTREMELY slow. You'll
seriously get about three turns to one of his, plus he's weak against ice.
Making this a great opportunity to test out Sagi's Rime Blade technique. Get
a Heaven's Glacier off, and that's almost the whole battle right there. He
knocks you out eventually though, obviously.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Giacomo
HP : ~5000
EXP : 2173
Just as a note before I begin, I did age my Wanted Posters to turn them into
Local Hero Posters... but then I ditched the latter, if only for the purpose
of this guide and giving my proper HP totals, plus they take up too much
magnus space. Anyway, just like before you'll want to take out both of the
imperial soldiers first. And as for my HPs, Sagi had 1105, Guillo had 945,
and Milly had 975. That's more than enough, plus if you got Mountain Apples
in Cebalrai then you will cremate this.
Giacomo's attacks are roughly exactly the same as last time, except now he
has a new thingy called Liquid Mettle which increases defense, plus some
thing which he rarely ever uses which raises his attack power, but that's it.
He does, however, have a lot of HP and finally someone has surpassed that
damn Lord of the Lava Caves. However, you're just getting stronger and
stronger, while his Thrashingale Redux still rests at about 500+ damage and
his combos anywhere from 100-400 damage, so if you have a Fate's Cordial or
Fate Idol handy you should definitely be okay. Meanwhile Sagi with Rime Blade
is devastating enough for your purposes.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Heughes [Machina Arma]
HP : ~385
EXP : 2100
Ugh. This may be a strange looking arma, but did you seriously think that
you could actually beat him? When Heughes starts charging his attack, you
know he's about to unleash Burning Harken, one killer ass attack that does
about 900+ damage to one character, and if he chains it to the end of a combo
expect 1700 damage or so... ugh. Just nasty. Plus he even has a huge ton of
HP, but he's a little more damageable than the others. You want to set up a
large combo starting with an elemental weapon, and if you keep going all the
way you'll slay him off eventually. Just be ready with Fate's Cordials
constantly. Also, Cebalrai Mountain Apples are good if you're stuck from
Burning Harken.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Malpercio's Afterling
HP : ~6250
EXP : 2167
The last boss of Disc 1 is also the hardest boss of Disc 1. Figures. That HP
count is the most iffy one yet, because the Afterling likes to suck enormous
amounts of HP from you (its signature attack, Feral Death, draws anywhere
from about 120 to 250 from you per use, but it's impossible to estimate), and
its physical attacks usually end in it drawing 100 HP or so from you. Topping
that off with the fact it's the highest total yet, you have a problem on your
hands, and what you need to rely on more than ever is ginormous amounts of
damage done at a time. You can't win with series' of 300 damage attacks, but
with a few 1600+ damage combos, that's the way to go.
An MP Burst will probably be your friend here even though you'll want to have
a Fate Idol handy if at all possible. The number one attack, once again, is
Sagi's True Heavenly Glacier, so if you've got a Strong Attack B ready, keep
it there and pummel this thing with it, but be ready for a long ass fight
especially when you get to the later stages when this thing likes to draw
massive amounts of health every single turn. Again, keep your HP up and cuss
at this thing in bits and pieces for Feral Death, and note that this thing
has a slight weakness to light. Plus Mountain Apples, if you're stuck, will
do a lot to help you.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Holoholo Bird
HP : ~6600
EXP : 2360
Oh my god. This is the grand champion of most annoying bosses ever created.
And I know, most people hate this boss too, but I personally don't think it
is that difficult... it's LONG and freaking ANNOYING. I've never once lost to
this thing, though, just to give you an idea, but if you want to take out
some of the misery that this may bring, you might want to take along some
Mountain Apples from Cebalrai. My Sagi had about 1250 HP for this battle, but
if you have about 2000+ instead... that's at least one thing you don't have
to worry about.
Now let me describe this the way it is. The Holoholo Bird is accompanied by
two Holoholo Chicks, which are weak doing combos for about 200 damage at the
most, but the problem with them is that they can and WILL heal the bird boss
for about 1200 HP every now and then. No joke. 1200 HP. Don't know what you
think, but I for one sure hate to take that much life out with anything
period all over again, especially considering the HP count is already high
albeit slightly inaccurate. The chicks themselves have roughly 1000 HP apiece
if I'm not mistaken, but when they die, the Holoholo Bird will crap out an
egg, and after a turn it'll hatch into a Holoholo Chick. What an ass.
This basically means that all battle along you will be fighting against the
chicks whenever possible, and then landing spare hits on the Holoholo Bird.
Which also means your characters need to come prepared. Sagi, for me, is the
one to do a little bit of anything, because he's always got Heavenfall and
Rime Blade, with either Icebloom or Red Padma in between. Guillo is the
primary character here, because with Icefan + Sigil Cry + Empyreal Wildfire
he can pull out Fiery Ice Queen (that's an oxymoron) and do absolutely
massive damage to the whole enemy party... instantly wiping the Holoholo
Chicks out, and plus if the first three attacks are all "B" style, then he'll
use... Blazing Glacial Queen, which is even better. You know what to do. As
for Milly, if you do a large combo with her that ends in Sevenstar Dust and
then Rising Condor, her Thunder Seriatim is GREAT here for doing damage to
the Holoholo Bird, which is weak against lightning.
Everyone takes an extremely long time with this battle, and for some it might
take longer than an hour. I'm awesome and it took me 16 minutes, so... yeah.
;] You want at any cost to be able to damage those eggs as quickly as you can
when they come out of the master bird's ass, meaning weapons and combos on
them. I think the damage you do to them carries on to the chicks themselves,
though I could be wrong. But either way, conserve combos. And don't even
bother with trying to kill the main Holoholo Bird as fast as you can, because
no matter what you will fail, and 1200 or maybe even 2400 restored HP later
your TV may no longer exist. Just a warning. Focus on the bird whenever you
can, but when something else comes, use L or R and hit the egg around. If you
play this out smartly, you WILL win. That I promise you.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Malpercio's Afterling
HP : ~5500
EXP : 2500
This is certainly one of the more interesting battles in the game. This, the
last umbra in the game, is much different, in that you're trying to attack
the roots that surround it. Let me explain -- this thing has two forms that
it will frequently shift between. When its head is drawn out in front, do NOT
attack it. You don't want it to die, but Valara will hit it with all she's
got, be it her 500 damage combos or her 700 damage Arma Cannon. You don't
want to hit that. However, when it's standing up and behind the roots, you
have about 5500 HP you need to wear thin.
This thing isn't very powerful, plus it's quite slow as well especially
compared to its counterpart back in Nunki Valley; its Veinroot Pulse attack
will do about 500 damage and drain some HP when it's in the form Valara
attacks, and it has another attack that drains about 100 HP to what you need
to hit (naturally...) and does about 800 damage, but that's about it. Main
attacks are 200 damage, so basically hit it with ALL you have when it's out,
and when it's Valara's turn, make sure you heal if necessary and use Force
cards so that you can get a massive combo going when you come back. Remember,
2000+ damage combos will win you this battle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Rudra
HP : ~8500
EXP : 2733
Many people consider this fight rather difficult, I do not. In fact, I would
even consider it to be easy were it not for its dreaded Heathen Melody attack
which blasts the whole group at about 700 damage. I will say one thing before
we start though, and that is that the Rudra is slow. You can very easily pull
off perhaps four or five turns from the party before this thing gets a chance
to pull off one. Its attacks besides that are combos for 300-500 damage and
draining 100 HP (yeah that HP count wasn't high enough as was), and Feral
Proof, which is roughly 900 damage... not something you want to run into.
Thankfully, the Rudra uses Heathen Melody very scarcely, so you'll be in
good hands. Meanwhile, it's weak against light, so your best option is Guillo
with Ghostarrow, then Spirilight Quiver, then Heavenlapse, even though the
latter has no EX Combos, but Spirit Ward/Enchantment will blast this thing to
nirvana. Meanwhile, Sagi with the Apostolos and Milly with her White Club
will absolutely kick ass with the typical Flame Ice Flurry/Heaven's Glacier
and Thunder Seriatim. Pray that your guardian spirit will bring you healing
cards when necessary, because stuff like Cancerite Booze and Hot Springs will
go a long way here. Eventually you'll win.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Valara [Machina Arma]
HP : ~525
EXP : 2666
A typical machina arma battle that you can't win, but this one's a bit
easier than the one against Heughes. For one thing, Valara's Arma Cannon
attack is about 700 damage to the group, but hey... that's old news. Her
combos are about the same to one character, but hey, the damage you're doing
to the arma is a little higher this time. For one thing, the aforementioned
combo I talked about with Guillo does about 200 damage, so that's a good
start. Make sure you use elemental damage as always, and watch out when she
starts the Hurricane Stance; the attack will be about 900+ damage. But apart
from that she's still weak against ice and lightning, so you're good.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Atria Boss
HP : ~4200
EXP : 2833
Yeah, you read that name right... he himself is fighting you. And god damn,
this fight is HARD. In my opinion, the most difficult battle in the game
without a shadow of a doubt, and just to properly begin to describe how hard
this fight is, let me note that Guillo (hereafter to be referred to as Dark
Guillo to avoid confusion with the real Guillo, who is for some reason
fighting alongside you with Milly) does indeed have only about 4000 HP, but
defense from hell. A normal combo will only do about 40-70 damage, depending
on who it's coming for. I'm dead serious, and that's with Level 2 Attack
Auras on everyone. If that wasn't enough, his attacks drain HP, be it 130 or
250.
But let's get into Dark Guillo's attacks. You have physical attacks, which
do either about 300, 650, or 1100 damage, and drain about 120 HP. Then you
have Fellstar Gleam, and I guarantee you that by the end of this battle you
will have "FLY, FLAIL, AND SLAUGHTER!" burned into your earlobes. But either
way that attack does about 1200 damage and can indeed be chained to the end
of a combo for pure devastation, and now you have the most evil thing that
will ever strike you in this entire game: Heavenlapse. Oh god, that attack is
deadly... it randomly hits the group for about 2700 damage in total, meaning
on average about 900 damage to everyone. Just to give you a hint, I was at
Level 30, Sagi had 1530 HP, Guillo had 1300, and Milly had 1350. And I could
discard six cards per turn.
Speaking of discarding cards, that's absolutely essential here. Unless you
are either overleveled or using Mountain Apples cheaply, the only character
here who is worth a damn for anything is Guillo. That's right, if you get a
finisher for Sagi and Milly up, just toss it. You want Guillo to be able to
use Blackest Yang as frequently as possible -- that's Weak Attack B, Medium
Attack, Strong Attack, Ghostarrow, Wickedwing Revels, Shadowflame Engine.
Dark Guillo ironically has a weakness to darkness (and S defense to anything
else), so the darkness will help a ton. Blackest Yang will do 2000+ damage,
and everyone else attacking is only meant to build up the MP and to nullify
the HP Dark Guillo will drain from you. Nothing more, nothing less. Speaking
of which, I'd also equip all the Weak Attack B's you have in your inventory.
Good luck, because this fight may very well take you in the double digits
with attempts it'll take to finally win aka get blasted with Heavenlapse.

Boss: Shanath
HP : ~8200
EXP : 933
Shanath is easy as hell. By far the boss that poses the least difficult, ever
since at the very least Disc 2. Sure, the HP is highish but he has the least
defense of any boss you've fought since perhaps the beginning of the game,
which is a really nice breath of fresh air compared to Guillo. Sure, his
Machina Sweep attack may be a fairly brutal delivery of about 1000+ damage,
but he can't hit more than one character at a time, and meanwhile, take a
look at Sagi. Use The Godling's Rapture and every hit will be critical,
amounting in 2000+ damage and also knockdown. Seriously, just beat him up
and heal a bit if needed; even the EXP given afterward blows.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Hearteater
HP : ~9100
EXP : 3167
This thing isn't bad. It's particularly easy if you just heartwing dash
around in circles before fighting so that when you run into it, your MP is
already at Level 2. Its main attack is Ovulate, which does a fair bit of
damage and makes a counter appear that when it reaches 0, will hatch and
eliminate you in one shot. Its main attacks are about 600 damage, nothing you
haven't seen before. Don't bother using Fate's Cordials all over the place,
you're better off timing a Fate Idol along with Hatch and the Hearteater's
attacks. And as for damaging it, it's strong against physical attacks, so
the best bet is elemental weapons everywhere, plus The Godling's Rapture will
eliminate it as always. Just keep your MP up and you'll be fine.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Mange-Roches
HP : ~9600
EXP : 3000
This thing is certainly no Holoholo Bird, despite the fact it uses Wingflail
and has about 3000 more HP. Indeed, Wingflail is about 650 damage to the
party, plus Mange-Roches also has an attack called Trample that does about
900+ damage to one character, but that's pretty much it. The field guide says
that said bird has a weakness to lightning, but I don't find it to be any
more efficient. Sure, Milly can pull off Thunder Seriatim as usual, adding on
Phoenix Dive for more damage, but I certainly wouldn't opt for Guillo to use
Goddrake's Thunderclap, for instance. =) Face it, you've beaten bosses before,
you can do the same to this one.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Seginus
HP : ~8000
EXP : 3159
Ugh. This battle is really rough, although some may disagree I don't think
it's a fraction as difficult as Seginus's counterpart from Atria, let me
tell you. He's got Heavenlapse, which is almost the exact same damage, maybe
very slightly more, and Shadowflame Engine, which is about 900 damage, weaker
than Fellstar Gleam. Which is great, considering you have more HP then than
now. The key thing is to knock Seginus down as much as you can, since you
waste way too much time healing, due to his speed. For example, Thunder
Seriatim, The Godling's Rapture... you get the point. Also, abuse Guillo
with a Book of Mana and/or Ghostarrow + Spirilight Quiver, and maybe some
Heavenlapse here and there, since Seginus is weak against light. Really, this
battle does come down to luck more than anything.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Nasca [Machina Arma]
HP : ~7500
EXP : 4807
This is a rather interesting fight. Nasca's Machina Arma, the Marauder, comes
in four parts: the body, which has somewhere around 7500 HP, two cannons,
which I think have about 2000 HP each, and a cockpit which opens occasionally
to heal any of the three, be it restoring the cannons to full HP when they're
already destroyed, or healing the body for about 1200 HP, which is annoying
as all hell. Ultimately though, your target is going to be the body though,
so change targets immediately and head for it.
Remember, if you're going to hit the cannons, then the cockpit will open and
just bring them back to full. There is a point where Nasca just stops, but
it's really not worth going up to that, since the cannons do 250 or 500
respectively (hint, one's faster than the other), but that's not the problem.
It's the body shooting that evil Plasma Cannon for about 800 damage to the
group, with shock, AND knockdown. That's despicable. However, Guillo is just
awesome here because with his Subzero Festival (Icefan + Sigil Cry + Zeniver
Cascade), you can hit all three targets for mass damage, and if you're going
for one hit wonders, remember that Sagi hits critical with every strike done
by The Godling's Rapture.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Heughes [Machina Arma]
HP : ~9900
EXP : 4635
Despite the rather large HP count, Heughes is quite a bit easier than Nasca.
And here's why: as usual, he can only hit one character at a time. I'll admit,
when he uses Charge you should be quite alert, because the next turn he will
use Burning Harken, an attack that does 1800+ damage to one character and can
quite easily knock Guillo or even Milly out at full HP. But that being said,
Heughes himself is weak against fire, so if you have Sagi pull out Crimson
Skytooth (Heavenfall + Red Padma + Blast Tooth), or better yet, The Godling's
Rapture which is still critical with every strike, you'll have Heughes on his
knees very shortly. Plus too much fire and his machina will take about 400
damage naturally. He's strong and a little fast, but quite beatable.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Valara [Machina Arma]
HP : ~11500
EXP : 5150
Uh... huh. Valara is by far the hardest of the three machina armas, because
of her Arma Cannon attack, which blasts the whole group down at about 1050
damage. That's right, to the whole party, plus knockdown. And you thought
Nasca's special was nasty. However, the easiest part of this battle is by
far when Valara goes into Hurricane Stance, and just uses her slightly strong
(1200 or so) damage Hurricane Punch attack, which only hits one character so
isn't much to worry about. The same strategy with armas applies: have Sagi
use his usual combos, because yet again, every strike of The Godling's
Rapture is critical. Milly with Lightning Turkey is devastating because of
Valara's weakness to lightning, and as for Guillo, you'll want to have a Book
of Mana ready whenever Valara uses Arma Cannon. Keep your HP well above 1000
and/or have a Fate Idol ready, and you should emerge victorious.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Black Dragon
HP : ~11000
EXP : 3433
This fight is a total nightmare... totally unlike his white counterpart. The
Black Dragon has only one special, and it's devastating -- Crimson Catharsis
is about 3200 damage randomly spread throughout the group, which is a lot
better comparatively than Guillo's Heavenlapse on everyone, for instance.
However, the Black Dragon does have quite a bit of a weakness to light,
despite its rather great defense in general. So before you enter this fight,
I'd suggest everyone have Level 3 Attack Auras on them.
So, back to the battle. Crimson Catharsis has a nice tendency to leave one
character or more alive, as usual, so if anything you may just want to take
some cards out of your arsenal and just have a Book of Mana and Fate Idol
ready to go, so that they have a greater chance of showing up. Just, as
usual, have The Godling's Rapture ready to go, and take this fight slowly,
just doing smaller combos at a time, because if you get on the offensive for
too long, Crimson Catharsis will burn you. Feel free to enter with a few
Mountain Apples to raise your HP, and with a little effort you should win.
Enter round two.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Wiseman
HP : ~10500
EXP : 4120
And here we have a fight that's extremely annoying. Wiseman is a real pain in
the ass, and here's the lowdown on him. At any time he can use Illusory Chaos
which does about 1200 damage to the whole party... almost as bad if not
worse than Crimson Catharsis. He also has one technique that is seriously
called Cast Away Your Carnal Robes, which blasts the whole party for about...
300 damage, but unequips them. Which is all well and good because usually I
have nothing equipped when he uses it anyway. And as for his physical attacks,
they drain MP AND HP, and each one is about 400 damage. As you can see, you
have a royal pain in the ass fighting you.
Wiseman is weak against light, making Guillo awesome with his typical Fellstar
Quiver/Trebuchet, plus I say this every battle and will say it again: Sagi
with The Godling's Rapture is decimating, as long as you aren't being cheap
and using The Apotheosis. However, let me point out that Wiseman can use
Illusory Chaos over and over again, and because of that, you need to be on
your toes and have a Book of Mana constantly ready to be thrown out for
absolute recovery. Really, if you have less than 1000 HP for one or two
character, have a Fate's Cordial or Fate Idol ready to use, and if you end up
losing this battle, really, start removing some cards. You don't need 60; if
you have 54, well, that's six less that might get in your way when you
desperately need to heal. With that in mind, go out and slay Wiseman.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Baelheit
HP : ~1000 / ~10750
EXP : 6180
This is my favorite battle of the entire game. It's epic and climactic in
every way, from the fact it's two fights with one being solo, two swordsmen
spiriters in style, from the music. The True Mirror, the orchestral version,
is nothing short of stunning. But anyway, like I said, the first part of the
battle is just Sagi vs. Baelheit, and you only need to do about 1000 damage
to him before it fades back into the cutscenes. And you can pretty much win
this based on speed alone; Sagi can get about 1.5 hits for every one of
Baelheit's, so if you use an Apocalypse Sword, Ascalon, or anything better,
plus a finisher or two with an EX Combo, you can win.
Watch for Seraphim Soul, however, which is quite reminiscence of Eternal
Wings, so if you don't want to rush this or build that MP up to the point of
being able to use Blast Tooth or the like, you can go defensive and succeed.
So then Baelheit reveals his life story to the party, and then round two of
the battle begins. Once again, Baelheit is neither too easy nor too hard,
just a perfect medium. Ironically, the character that Baelheit will most
frequently target is Milly, so you might want to have your eyes kept on her.
Baelheit's attacks are as follows: his combos will do about 300, 700, or 1200
damage, usually leaning toward the first two.
His Hellfire attack, once again Eternal Wings stuff, is about 1200 to the
party, plus knockdown and flames, but he doesn't use it too often, making a
Book of Mana generally adequate. Plus he still has Seraphim Soul for about
1400. Although Baelheit is weak against darkness, there really is no need to
use it instead of anything else Guillo has, such as Aphelion Dustwake for
instance. There's no real need to still rely on High Potions either, because
if Guillo is equipped with one or especially two Books of Mana, Baelheit
really can't touch you. He doesn't have a whole lot of HP, but do enjoy this
battle and DON'T ruin it by just overkilling him with The Apotheosis.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Tarazed Boss & Machinaguis B x4
HP : ~4000 & ~1500
EXP : ~14077
You read those HP totals correctly. However, there's a lot more to this
fight than that. For one thing, the battle begins with two battles against
two Machinaguis A's. They're easy as hell, so just strike them down. As for
the third battle, you're faced with Verus and the Machinaguis's, and your
targets are the machina. Hear me out: if you attack Verus while the machina
are alive, you can't damage him. Either it'll do 0 damage, or one will swoop
in and defend him. So don't even try that. Instead, switch over to the
fourth target; that way, it'll go from 4 to 5 to 1 to 2 to 3, which is Verus.
Verus himself isn't really that bad, although he is slightly stronger than
Baelheit. He's got combos anywhere from 300 to 1200 damage, plus he has a
special called Death By Stomping, which does roughly around 1500 damage. But
trust me, most of the time you'll just be cursing at him because he's using
Tentacle Recharge to bring the machina back to life, which annoys anyone to
no end. You have options though, ESPECIALLY if you beat Wiseman back in Atria
which you definitely should have. Then Guillo will have Aphelion Dustwake,
which is the number one skill in this battle. If you use Frigid Queen's
Festival or even Parade, all of the machina will be wiped out, and Verus will
only really bring back one at a time if he's left alone at one point, so you
can hit that, and then Verus with his puny 4000 HP will die VERY fast. Also,
Sagi with The Godling's Rapture will hit critical every time, meaning it'll
instantly eliminate any target of the five. Easy battle.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Boss: Final Boss
HP : ~16000
EXP : 6666
The god in nature is rather more similar to Wiseman than Verus, but that's to
be expected because the latter is so much more developed in the battle
department. What you have before you is a far more worthy final boss than the
last one, although two Books of Mana still does make it cheap, as do things
like The Apotheosis and other such crap that no one valuing the beauty of
this game's combat will use. But that's beside the point. Verus-Wiseman's
attacks each do about 400 damage, and there are up to three of them, as par
usual. But to end the dull silence, just use anything and do somewhere around
2000 damage, and it's a fade out.
With that, the god attacks the whole party, but guess what? Malpercio comes
to your aide, and Le Ali de Principio, which really is an incredible theme,
is your BGM. But now, let's focus on some more attacks. The god can use
Cast Away Your Carnal Robes, which still drains about 700 HP and does about
300 to the group; but much worse is its ultimate Magnus Of Life, which also
drains an amount I can't calculate because of the speed of the green numbers
that show up, but overall does 1000+ to the group, knocks them down, and
causes freeze. Always bad. But anyway, as always, a Book of Mana will get you
out of this, and although the battle may very well drag out rather long,
all you need to do is use what's worked well for you in the past, and you
shouldn't have a problem.

~-~ ~-~ ~-~ XI. FAQ ~-~ ~-~ ~-~
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
This will come soon, just like everything else, I assure you. These things do
indeed take my life out of me...
[Q] HELP I CAN'T BEAT THE HOLOHOLO BIRD UGH I'VE BEEN STUCK ON IT FOR 6 MONTHS
HOW DO I BEAT IT UGH UGH UGH HELP ME HELP ME!!!1
[A] Dude. Calm the hell down. It's not that hard as long as you configure your
magnus appropriately and take care of the small chicks appropriately. Check
my boss strategy for it, seriously... and if that doesn't help, others.
~-~
[Q] How do I beat the Holoholo Bird? Nah, just kidding. When did this game come
out, how good is it, and does it require knowledge of Eternal Wings?
[A] Phew. Well, the game came out in Japan on February 23, 2006, and it entered
North America on September 25, 2006. The game is great and I highly suggest
playing it, and as for Eternal Wings knowledge, I would recommend it just
because you will gain much more appreciation seeing characters in the first
game and then the prequel, than vice versa. But apart from that, it really
doesn't matter. If you're comparing them, I personally enjoy this game's
plot slightly more, but Eternal Wings's gameplay/combat more. Play both, I
say.
~-~
[Q] Help me. Why can't I unlock Rank 5 in the Coliseum?
[A] Okay, let me say what I can. You need to go see Panie in Vega as your
task, but for some reason, for some people this doesn't advance you to
Rank 5. What I understand it as is this: if you make small talk to the
registration lady after Tarazed has appeared but before unlocking Rank 5,
a glitch occurs and you absolutely cannot unlock Rank 5. So for all you
people reading this who aren't at that point yet: DON'T MAKE SMALL TALK TO
THE REGISTRATION LADY!
~-~
[Q] Please explain the ending. I don't get it.
[A] Not here. If you're curious though, please do e-mail me and I'll give you
whatever my theory is.
