I. INTRODUCTION [INTRO]
---------------
=============================================================================
Baroque is an incredibly unique game for the Playstation 2 and Wii. Not many
games literally thrust you into action with a minimal amount of instruction
and force you to deduce for yourself what the next step is and how to advance
the story. By design, there is a lot of ambiguity in the game, and there are
also many things involved in achieving 100% completion of Baroque that go
beyond the storyline and gameplay.
I decided to create this guide after noticing through my experiences with
the game that a large amount of information available through existing guides
and websites is either partially or wholly incorrect. Also, no existing guide
is complete or even close in terms of the Database. Please be aware that, for
the most part, this guide will NOT contain gameplay basics. This is what the
instruction manual that comes with the game is for. The purpose of this FAQ
is to provide a 100% definitive guide which will instruct its readers on how
to complete everything in Baroque, from the main storyline to post-storyline
events to the Database.
The process is complicated and will take time. I began working on this guide
in early November, expecting to have it finished by Christmas. However, more
and more things became revealed, questions kept arising about how exactly to
trigger certain events and conditions, and some of the elements of the Data-
base are very hard to achieve. This guide ended up taking around five months
to complete, so I hope you find the information it contains to be useful, and
it aids you in enjoying this great game!
* This guide was updated on 3/29/10 to include some extra information and a
few minor revisions.
* This guide was updated on 4/13/10 to make a major correction in section
V.4: Baroque List.

II. WALKTHROUGH [WALK]
---------------
=============================================================================
Throughout this Walkthrough, whenever you encounter a new enemy on a level of
the Neuro Tower, there will be a description box giving all the information
you need about that enemy, including their HP, what items they drop, their
attacks, etc. The "Position" description has to do with whether they move
around the level at will or stay in place until you approach them.
When you first begin playing the game, you will see a brief cutscene and then
will find yourself exploring what is known as the "Outer World". It is here
where your journey through the mysterious world of Baroque begins.
____________________ _______
1. The Outer World \________________________________________________/ [OUT]
The Outer World of Baroque is essentially your home base. There are 7 NPCs
here who you can interact with. You will later be able to purify some of
them, and their Idea Sephirah crystals will become obtainable. So as to not
spoil your fun, I won't reveal how to do this at this time. The Outer World
is a relatively small, open area and you should become familiar with its
layout very quickly.
The 7 NPCs found in the Outer World are:
1. Longneck: He will mostly whine a lot and ask for Heart Seeds. He is
filled with remorse over something from his past. He is not fond of
the Coffin Man.
2. Horned Girl: She reads the Protagonist�s mind and says out loud what
he is thinking.
3. Bagged One: She seems to be confused about who and what she is, and
she sometimes speaks in third person.
4. Sentry Angel: His job is to guard the entrance to the Research Lab.
He is very committed to keeping you out...
5. Baroquemonger: He can read the information contained within the Idea
Sephirah crystals that you pick up by purifying Meta-Beings or NPCs.
6. Collector: He can store items for you in the bag on his head, which
will help you fill in the Item List. Hit him to access his inventory
and retrieve items you have given to him.
7. Coffin Man: He wants to create the world�s greatest dungeon. He will
offer you some training early in the game. He isn't fond of Longneck.
There are two glowing Consciousness Orbs in the Outer World, just north of
where you find the Collector. Throw an item into one and see what happens.
You will encounter your first Meta-Being, Moon, in two areas of the Outer
World. The first location is just east of the entrance to Coffin Man's dun-
geons. The other is to the west on the map of the Consciousness Orbs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Moon (Outer World) |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 15 |
| | EXP: 3 |
| | Inflicted status: None |
| | Knockback attack: Yes |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 3 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: Fire, Lightning |
| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Moon |
| | |
| Drops: | Port Bones |
| | Experience Bones |
| | Guryu Flesh |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Bite: Moon will bite at you. [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Lunge: This is Moon's knockback attack. You know this |
| | attack is coming when Moon recoils back from you, and |
| | thus is relatively easy to dodge. [Close] |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can see the Neuro Tower off in the distance to the north. Head that way
to enter it. Before each time you go to the Tower, you will be greeted by
an apparition representing the Archangel. He speak to you, sometimes with
useful advice and sometimes with disdain for your failures, and then give
you the Angelic Rifle.
There is a Recovery Disk just beyond where the Archangel appears, along the
rock wall to your left. Stand on this to replenish any lost HP/VT.
Now you are ready to enter the Neuro Tower! Just move forward past the Disk
and the game will ask you if you want to proceed.
____________________ _________
2. The Neuro Tower \______________________________________________/ [TOWER]
There are seven different types of levels in the Neuro Tower. Each type has
its own distinctive background music, all of which can be listened to by
finding them in the "Music List" of the Database. The entries in this list
fill as you hear each song for the first time. You should be able to become
familiar with each type pretty quickly, and prepare for the various hazards
and nuances of each level.
No matter what phase of the Neuro Tower you are currently on in your game,
the first floor (denoted as 0 cubits) will always be identical. This level
consists of one room with a port. You will find 3 Moons here, along with a
few random items. Any items which you marked with a Me Brand during your
previous Tower run will also be found on this level. Early in the game, you
will sometimes hear the voices of the Littles as you enter the main room.
------------------------------------
| 2a. The Consciousness Simulation | [CON]
------------------------------------
The Consciousness Simulation will be referenced throughout this guide for a
number of reasons. This name refers to your very first trip through the Neuro
Tower, regardless of the outcome (death/success). There are only four floors,
plus the Absolute God's -99999 level, and there are several differences in
what you will find on these floors on this run compared to subsequent trips
through the Neuro Tower. Also, REMEMBER to pick up the Angelic Rifle that is
left for you by the Archangel. Do not throw it away or throw it at any Meta-
Beings, and do not fire all 5 bullets during this run either. You will need
it at the bottom.
[-100 cubits]
Size: Small
Meta-Beings: Moon, Glue
Music: "Crazy Prayer"
NPCs: Phantom Brother
Consciousness Orbs: None
Cursebringer Angel: No
Notes: Beware of the steam burst traps on many of the walls on this type
of level, as they can do significant damage if you stand in the stream
for too long.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Moon (Neuro Tower) |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 15 |
| | EXP: 3 |
| | Inflicted status: None |
| | Knockback attack: Yes |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 1 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: Fire, Lightning |
| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Moon |
| | |
| Drops: | Port Bones |
| | Experience Bones |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | This Moon has the same attacks as the Outer World Moon. |
| | The only differences are that, in the Neuro Tower, Moon |
| | will not drop flesh and its red crystal replenishes only |
| | 1 VT instead of 3 VT. |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| New Enemy: | Glue |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 7 |
| | EXP: 4 |
| | Inflicted status: None |
| | Knockback attack: No |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 1 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: Fire |
| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Filth |
| | |
| Drops: | Antidote Fluid |
| | Guryu Flesh |
| | |
| Attacks: | Jump: Glue jumps at you. [Close] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Glue can be squashed by walking on them, but you will not |
| | receive any experience points and they will not surrender |
| | a red VT crystal if you do this. The easiest way to kill |
| | them is to simply hit them with a sword when they are on |
| | the ground. They are harder to hit in mid-jump, which |
| | makes killing them a difficult task when unarmed. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[-200 cubits]
Size: Small
Meta-Beings: Kato, Moon, Glue
Music: "Groan of Metal"
NPCs: None
Consciousness Orbs: None
Cursebringer Angel: No
Notes: When you begin on this level, the Archangel will tell you that
the current version of the Neuro Tower is just -400 cubits deep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Kato |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 38 |
| | EXP: 15 |
| | Inflicted status: Poison |
| | Knockback attack: Yes |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 6 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: Ice |
| | Position: Mobile |
| | Idea Sephirah: Fortune |
| | |
| Drops: | Antidote Fluid |
| | Indefinite Box |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Tongue Lash: Kato will lash you with its long tongue. |
| | This attack will sometimes cause you to be Poisoned. |
| | [Both Forms, Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Dash: Kato will propel itself toward you at a high |
| | speed. When Kato makes a hissing sound and its body |
| | starts spinning at a fast rate, get out of the way. |
| | This is a knockback attack. [Wheel form only, Long |
| | Range] |
| | |
| | 3. Glue Spit: Kato will spit a Glue out of its rear mouth |
| | when in Turtle form. |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | You will always first encounter Kato in its wheel form, |
| | but it will sometimes change to a turtle-like form where |
| | it has two heads and walks on four leges. When in wheel |
| | form, it is more vulnerable to attacks from the side. |
| | When in turtle form, its defense is stronger. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[-300 cubits]
Size: Small
Meta-Beings: Small Bullger, Kato, Glue
Music: "Groan of Metal"
NPCs: Urim and Thummin
Consciousness Orbs: None

| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Empress |
| | |
| Drops: | Aprsl Parasite |
| | Flame Disk |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Lunge: Bullger spreads its arms out from its body and |
| | jumps at you. [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Roll: Bullger balls itself up and rolls at you. [Long |
| | [Range] |
| | |
| | 3. Blinding Gas: If you stand behind a Bullger, it will |
| | sometimes fart purple gas on you, causing Blindness. |
| | [Close] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Bullgers will aggressively attack you when you approach |
| | them, but they are easy to dispatch. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[-400 cubits]
Size: Medium
Meta-Beings: Small Bullger, Kato, Seventeen
Music: "Stagnating Flow"
NPCs: Doctor Angelicus
Consciousness Orbs: None
Cursebringer Angel: No
Notes: Beware the green puddles on the ground, which will cause you to
be poisoned.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Seventeen |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 75 |
| | EXP: 53 |
| | Inflicted status: None |
| | Knockback attack: Yes |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 2 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: Lightning |
| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Star |
| | |
| Drops: | Summon Torturer |
| | Lethargy Bones |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Rolling Headbutt: Seventeen will roll toward you and |
| | headbutt you. It always initiates this attack when it |
| | first sees you, and it will use this attack regularly |
| | when you're at a distance. This is a knockback attack. |
| | [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Headbutt: Seventeen will headbutt you. [Close] |
| | |
| | 3. Wheel Gun: Seventeen will lean back and fire a string |
| | of projectile bullets with blue trailers at you. It |
| | will often follow up a headbutt with this attack. |
| | [Long Range] |
| | |
| | 4. Backward Punch: If you stand behind Seventeen, it will |
| | sometimes hit you with its arms. This is also a knock- |
| | back attack. [Close] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Seventeens are very aggressive, but their attacks are |
| | weak. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After finishing the -400 cubits level, you are taken to the Absolute God at
-99999. This is why I told you above to make sure to bring the Angelic Rifle
and to make sure it isn't empty. You must equip the Rifle and shoot the Abso-
lute God to complete your first run through the Neuro Tower. If you do not
have the Rifle in your inventory for whatever reason or it is empty, you will
be stuck here and your only choice will be to slowly let your VT and HP drain
to 0. However, dying does still suffice in completing the Consciousness Sim-
ulation, so don't panic and think you have to start the game over. After
completing this run, the Neuro Tower is automatically extended to the next
phase.
-----------------------
| 2b. The -1600 Phase | [160]
-----------------------
[-100 cubits]
Size: Small
Meta-Beings: Moon, Glue
Music: "Crazy Prayer"
NPCs: Phantom Brother (will eventually stop appearing)
Consciousness Orbs: None
Cursebringer Angel: No
Notes: Again, watch out for the steam traps. You can talk to the Phantom
Brother in his chamber until he runs out of things to say (12-15 times),
then he will stop appearing. His "Let's play chess again..." line
[-200 cubits]
Size: Small
Meta-Beings: Kato, Moon, Glue
Music: "Groan of Metal"
NPCs: Eliza
Consciousness Orbs: 2
Cursebringer Angel: No
Notes: In the room where Eliza fades away from the Protagonist, you can
walk through the wall to reach a chamber where she waits for you with
2 small blue Consciousness Orbs floating up above her on the ceiling.
When approached, she will speak and then disappear.
There will often be a room on this level that is divided in two, and if
you flip a switch part of the dividing wall will lower.
Also, there will occasionally be walls that look like they are made of
stone separating rooms. These walls can be destroyed if attacked a few
times.
[-300 cubits]
Size: Small
Meta-Beings: Small Bullger, Kato, Glue
Music: "Groan of Metal"
NPCs: Urim and Thummin
Consciousness Orbs: None
Cursebringer Angel: Yes
Notes: There is a switch in a large room here (which does not appear on
every Tower run) that functions as a heat switch for certain levels in
the Neuro Tower. If flipped up, this room will appear normal and later
levels will be in a frozen state. If flipped down, the heat coils along
the walls of this room will turn on (they will appear red hot) and said
later levels will be thawed. The setting is retained from one Tower run
to the next. Beware the hot coils, as they will damage you if you touch
them.
This level also contains fireball traps, which will shoot fireballs
from the wall if you step on the green floor panels. Later levels of
this type will also contain these traps.
Urim and Thummin will sometimes ask you for food. If you give a piece of
flesh or a heart to them on several consecutive trips through the Tower,
they will reward you with a Growth Sword.
[-400 cubits]
Size: Medium
Meta-Beings: Small Bullger, Kato, Seventeen
Music: "Stagnating Flow"
NPCs: Alice
Consciousness Orbs: 1
Cursebringer Angel: No
Notes: Again, watch out for the toxic puddles. In Alice's chamber, there
is a large green Consciousness Orb floating over where she hovers.
[-500 cubits]
Size: Small
Meta-Beings: Small Bullger, Large Bullger, Kato, Gliro, Glue
Music: "Mysterious Forming"
NPCs: None
Consciousness Orbs: None
Cursebringer Angel: Yes
Notes: Beware of the fire grates on the floor. Flames will often shoot
up from underneath them, and anything standing on top of the grate will
take damage. Also, the flames from the fire grates can be used to cook
flesh or hearts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Large Bullger |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 53 |
| | EXP: 38 |
| | Inflicted status: Blind |
| | Knockback attack: No |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 6 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: Fire |
| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Fortune |
| | |
| Drops: | Sight Fluid |
| | Churyu Flesh |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | The large version of Bullger's attacks are stronger than |
| | those of its smaller counterpart. Also, it is far more |
| | vulnerable to attacks from behind. |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| New Enemy: | Gliro |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 98 |
| | EXP: 51 |
| | Inflicted status: None |
| | Knockback attack: No |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 6 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: Fire |
| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Devil |
| | |
| Drops: | Heart Seed |
| | Whatever item it steals from you |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Slap: Gliro will swipe at you with its hand. [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Mug: Gliro will attempt to pick your pocket, which |
| | takes about two seconds. If successful, Gliro will |
| | steal one item from your inventory. [Close] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | If a Gliro steals an item you want back, it will drop it |
| | when defeated. Any time one steals from you, it will try |
| | to avoid you for around 30 seconds then return to normal. |
| | If approached or attacked, the Gliro may throw the item |
| | it stole at you. If you are hit, the item inflicts the |
| | same damage and/or status effects it would if you threw |
| | it at a Meta-Being. If it misses, you can then pick the |
| | item up off the floor. Use Special Attacks to interrupt |
| | Gliro's Mug attack, or move away from it so it can not |
| | steal an item. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[-600 cubits]
Size: Medium
Meta-Beings: Small Bullger, Small Jerryrom, Gliro [FLOODED]
Large Bullger, Seventeen [DRAINED]
Music: "The Wriggling One"
NPCs: None
Consciousness Orbs: None
Cursebringer Angel: No
Notes: This level has two versions, a "Flooded" and "Drained" version.
The Meta-Beings encountered are the difference between the two.
There are gas valve hazards on this type of level, similar to the steam
burst traps in the "Crazy Prayer" levels.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Small Jerryrom |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 28 |
| | EXP: 63 |

| | Elemental Weakness: Fire, Lightning |
| | Position: Mobile |
| | Idea Sephirah: Hermit |
| | |
| Drops: | Heart Seed |
| | No Name Torturer |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Headbutt: Jerryrom will headbutt you. [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Spinkick: Jerryrom's body will spin around and its |
| | legs will kick you repeatedly as it makes a circle |
| | around you. [Close] |
| | |
| | 3. Confusion Flash: Jerryrom will emit a flash of light |
| | which will inflict Confusion on you. It will make a |
| | jittery, high pitched noise and perform what looks |
| | like a dance as a warning when it is about to unleash |
| | this attack. [Close] |
| | |
| | 4. Self-Destruct: Jerryrom will swell up, turn red, and |
| | explode, damaging you and any Meta-Beings in its blast |
| | radius. [Close] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | If you allow Jerryrom to self-destruct, it will not leave |
| | behind a red VT crystal and you will receive no EXP. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[-700 cubits]
Size: Small
Meta-Beings: Small Bullger, Large Bullger, Small Jerryrom, Seventeen
Music: "Groan of Metal"
NPCs: Boxbearer, Mind Reader
Consciousness Orbs: None
Cursebringer Angel: No
Notes: Boxbearer and/or Mind Reader do not always both appear on every
run through the Tower. If you give Mind Reader an item, she will throw
out a number of random disks and/or bones in all directions. If you give
Boxbearer a box, he will give you a random box in return.
Beginning on this floor, there are spike traps in this level type that
are activated by stepping on the green floor panels. The spikes shoot
out from the wall.
* HINT: Listen carefully to what you are told by the Mind Reader. She will
often provide you with cryptic hints about what you need to do next. If
you have certain items in your inventory, she will be basically spoon-
feed you essential information. If you can not figure out how to advance
the story but do not yet want to resort to looking through this guide for
spoilers, try talking to her a few times first.
[-800 cubits]
Size: Small
Meta-Beings: Large Bullger, Soconpo, Gliro [FROZEN]
Small Jerryrom, Soconpo, Seventeen [THAWED]
Music: "Frenzy and Noise"
NPCs: Koriel Member (until all 11 have been found)
Consciousness Orbs: None
Cursebringer Angel: No
Notes: Like -600, this level also has two versions. They are a "Frozen"
and "Thawed" version. The Meta-Beings encountered are different, but
there are also several other differences. Beware of ice hazards on the
walls of the Frozen version, and also falling icicles where there are
round shadows on the floor. On the Thawed version, all flesh and hearts
you find will be rotten.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Soconpo |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |

| | Position: Mobile |
| | Idea Sephirah: Justice |
| | |
| Drops: | Double Edge Box |
| | Food Disk |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Spin: Soconpo will spin around rapidly and its arms |
| | will hit you repeatedly. [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Flame Shot: Soconpo will turn to its left and emit a |
| | flaming ball from its right shoulder. [Close] |
| | |
| | 3. Rot/Rust Shot: Soconpo will turn to its right and emit |
| | a ball that looks like mud from its left shoulder. If |
| | it hits you, it will either cause a sword or coat in |
| | your inventory to deteriorate one level, or rot one |
| | piece of flesh or heart on hand. [Close] |
| | |
| | 4. Jump: Soconpo will jump forward into the air, and any- |
| | thing in its vicinity when it lands will be knocked |
| | back and damaged, including other Meta-Beings. As a |
| | warning, Soconpo will make a creaking sound prior to |
| | launching this attack. [Long Range] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Beware the Food Disk drop, as you can easily lose a valu- |
| | able item from your inventory if you accidentally step on |
| | one. |

Notes: The drainage switch for level -600 and several later levels is

| | blueish mist. If you are close to it, you will be dam- |
| | aged and inflicted with Lethargy. [Close] |
| | |
| | 3. Lust Shiver: Similar to #2, this time the mist will be |
| | pink and you will find yourself in Lust. [Close] |
| | |
| | 4. Tunneling Blades: Liar will stick its arms into the |
| | ground. They will tunnel to where you stand, and rise |
| | up out of the floor, causing damage if they hit you. |
| | [Long Range] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Liar's Swipe attack is extremely quick and it uses its |
| | Shiver attacks on a frequent basis, so it is helpful to |
| | use the Special Attack to interrupt it when you can. The |
| | red crystals left behind when Liar is purified heal HP |
| | instead of replenishing VT. |

| | 2. Jab: Death will jab you with its left arm. [Close] |
| | |
| | 3. Slash: Death will rear back with its blade protrusion |
| | (coming off of its right shoulder) and then slash at |
| | you with it. This is a knockback attack. [Close] |
| | |
| | 4. Ghost Inhale: Death will open up its coffin-shaped |
| | body, and you will see the faces of ghosts inside. |
| | They will inhale, and a whirlwind will suck you in to- |

| | |
| | 5. Coffin Nails: Death will turn its back to you and fire |
| | a burst of projectiles at you. [Long Range] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Use the Special Attack to break Death's hold over you if |

| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Tower |
| | |
| Drops: | Lightning Torturer |
| | Rez Parasite |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Spin: Bubugel will spin its body, which knocks back |
| | and damages anything nearby. It will always use this |
| | attack at first if you get to close to it in your |
| | approach. [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Lightning Spit: Bubugel will spit a ball of electric |
| | energy at you. As a warning, it will motion with its |
| | mouth as if it is collecting saliva. [Long Range] |
| | |
| | 3. Face Thrust: Bubugel will thrust its entire face into |
| | you when you stand close to its front side. This is a |
| | knockback attack. [Close] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Bubugel will always appear as a wall panel at first, but |
| | if you get too close, it will initiate its Spin attack. |
| | When not armed with a sword with a high ATK power, your |
| | best bet is to hit it from behind with repeated Special |
| | Attacks. When you have defeated it, Bubugel will rock |
| | backward and then collapse face-down. This will knock |
| | back and cause damage to anything in its immediate vicin- |
| | ity. Bubugels will not be summoned by a Summon Torturer |
| | and it is very difficult to run past them in a corridor. |

| | 2. Triple Electric Blast: This attack is identical to #1 |
| | except that this time Or-huganous will fire a string |
| | of 3 projectiles. [Long Range] |
| | |
| | 3. Confusion Orbs: Two floating electric orbs will appear |
| | and circle around Or-huganous, and it will move around |
| | erratically. If you come into contact with it, you |
| | will be inflicted with Confusion. [Close] |
| | |
| | 4. Self-Destruct: After its HP becomes low, Or-huganous |
| | will often self-destruct, damaging everything in its |
| | vicinity with a larger blast radius than that of a |
| | Jerryrom. [Long Range] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Like Jerryrom, you will receive no experience points and |

Once the "Confession of Sin" cutscene has been viewed, Angelicus will
step away from the Consciousness Orb. This will allow you to use it,

| | |
| Attacks: | 1. HP Drain: Sin-Monis uses its snout to suck like a vac- |
| | uum. You will see green balls of light moving into its |
| | body from yours, and your HP will deplete. [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. VT Drain: Like #1, only the balls of light will be |
| | yellow and your VT will deplete instead [Close] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Sin-Monis has strong defense and can withstand a beating, |
| | so try not to get cornered by several of them, as they |
| | can chip away at your HP/VT very quickly with the Drain |
| | attacks. If you're not equipped with a strong sword, re- |
| | peatedly use the Special Attack to interrupt Sin-Monis. |
| | |
| | Another useful note, courtesy of ZedPower: If you inflict |

few seconds. Each choice triggers a different cutscene (see section V.1).
An item can be thrown into the Consciousness Orb on which the Archangel
is impaled to be sent back to the Collector.
Find the Cherub if you do not have an Angelic Rifle and it will give
you one.

Lab to obtain the "Your" crystal.
- On -200, Eliza now waits inside her chamber, and you can talk to her
repeatedly as she will not disappear after you approach her.
after being approached by the Protagonist.
- New dialogue from almost all characters will be available.
- Eliza no longer appears on -1500, and the Consciousness Orb that she
revived can now be used to send items back to the Collector.

| | |

| | Replenishment by crystal: 6 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: Ice |
| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Sun |
| | |
| Drops: | Port Bones |
| | Revolution Torturer |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Laser Blast: When Sun is attached to its web, it will |
| | shoot out a yellow laser beam out of one eye that will |
| | interrupt your movements and cause damage. The laser |
| | moves through anything in its path, so Meta-Beings can |
| | not be used as shields. [Web, Long Range] |
| | |
| | 2. Spit: Sun will spit a wad of green goo at you, which |
| | will cause Lethargy if it hits you. [Web, Close] |
| | |
| | 3. Gas Release: This will happen both when Sun initially |
| | drops from its web after taking damage, and also when |
| | it is defeated. It will release a green gas that will |
| | cause Lethargy. |
| | |
| | 4. Blinding Gas: When on the ground, Sun will spray you |
| | with a gas that causes Blindness. [Free, Close] |
| | |
| | 5. Jumping Attack: Sun will jump and latch onto your face |
| | with its legs. This attack causes Lethargy and is also |
| | a knockback attack. |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Sun's Laser Blast is easy to avoid if you pay attention |
| | to which eye it is shooting from. Hug the opposite wall |
| | of the corridor. When its HP gets low, Sun will drop from |
| | its web and emit a green gas that will inflict Lethargy |
| | on you. The best way to avoid the gas when it drops is to |
| | hit it once or twice and back away. If it doesn't drop, |
| | hit it again and repeat. After dropping, Sun will quickly |
| | flee unless you hit it with an attack. Suns can be very |
| | difficult to hit, so act quickly. It is very difficult to |
| | avoid its Gas Release when purifying it. Also, when Sun |
| | is still attached to its web, it can not be summoned by a |
| | Summon Torturer. |

| Attacks: | 1. Red Gas: Nicl & Nicr will lift up the tentacle-like |
| | appendages around its body and spray out a red gas, |
| | causing damage. [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Bite: Nicl & Nicr will bite at you with the large, |
| | gaping maw in the center of its body. This attack will |
| | sometimes cause Paralysis. [Close] |
| | |
| | 3. Torpedo: Nicl & Nicr will propel itself at you at a |
| | high speed, which is a knockback attack. [Long Range] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Nicl & Nicr is another Meta-Being who can wreak havoc on |
| | you if you don't have strong equipment and you try to |
| | fight it head-on. Get behind it and use the Special Attack|
| | to interrupt its movements. Because of the Paralysis at- |
| | tack, it can be very dangerous to take on several of them |
| | at once. |
| | |
| | According to Malek86 and the Japanese guidebook, the Red |
| | Gas attack is the one that is supposed to cause Paralysis.|
| | However, this is not the case in the International PS2 |
| | version. |

Notes: The Littles' Cultivation Chamber is on this level. Find the yellow
path leading to a gate to enter it. Enter the chamber to view a cutscene
and extend the Tower to the -3000 phase. If you can't gain access, see
the FAQ section for more information.
The Neophyte will eventually begin moving up the Neuro Tower, and once
he does you will no longer find him on this level. He will progress from
level to level in the following order: -1400, -1100, -800, -600, -200.
Once you find him on -200, he will give you a Triple E Sword the first
time you speak with him.
This level introduces blast furnace traps that can be activated by use
of the green floor panels.

| | |
| | 3. Divide: After taking a certain amount of damage, Magi- |
| | cian will spin around and spawn a copy of itself. |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Magician's Stab attack is very quick and will interrupt |
| | your actions, so the Special Attack is your friend when |
| | you encounter it. Also, it will sometimes teleport to |
| | another part of the room when attacked. |

| Attacks: | 1. Slash: Aries will slash you with either of its claws. |
| | [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Blinding Breath: As a warning this attack is coming, |
| | Aries will extend its arms outward and inhale deeply. |
| | it will then exhale a stream of purple gas that causes |
| | Blindness. [Long Range] |
| | |
| | 3. Jump: This is similar to Soconpo's jump attack, except |
| | that Aries is much more agile and can jump higher and |
| | a longer distance. Look for its shadow on the ground |
| | to know where it will land to avoid this knockback |
| | attack. [Long Range] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Aries is another Meta-Being that will leave you alone un- |
| | less disturbed, but it is extremely aggressive once it has|
| | its sights set on you. Its attacks are extremely quick |
| | and pack quite a punch, so if you are equipped with weak |
| | quipment, the best tactic may be to stick and move and try|
| | to hit it from behind whenever possible. Aries will pursue|
| | you aggressively if you attempt to run away. |

| Attacks: | 1. Bubble Toss: Cocteauhead will blow up a bubble with |

| | you. It bounces in a straight line until it hits some- |
| | thing, which can be either you or a Meta-Being. [Long |
| | Range] |
| | |
| | 2. Bursting Bubble: Cocteauhead slowly blows up a massive |
| | bubble which then bursts, inflicting Lethargy on any- |
| | thing nearby. [Close] |
| | |
| | 3. Bubble Slap: Cocteauhead will take its bubble and hit |
| | you with it twice, first in an upward motion and then |
| | onto your head in a downward motion. The downward 2nd |
| | strike will Poison you. [Close] |
| | |
| | 4. Bubble Shields: After taking damage, Cocteauhead will |
| | sometimes create a string of four small bubbles that |
| | will orbit around it and shield it from direct damage. |
| | You must hit it with your sword or fist four separate |
| | times to destroy each of the bubbles before you can |
| | again damage it with regular physical attacks. |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | If you find yourself in a room with a number of enemies, |
| | you can use Cocteauhead's Bubble Toss attack to your ad- |
| | vantage. Keep yourself at a distance from Cocteauhead, |
| | keep other Meta-Beings between it and you, and let it |
| | damage to them with the attack. Cocteauhead also will |
| | occasionally warp to another part of the room when it |
| | takes damage. |

| | to either side of its body and then slam them together |
| | on you. This is its knockback attack. [Close] |
| | |
| | 3. Soundwave: Johanna Kyon emits a soundwave that causes |
| | damage and inflicts Confusion. The heads of the two |
| | bodies bound to it will begin to shake just before it |
| | uses this attack. [Close] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Johanna Kyon will not attack you unless it is disturbed, |
| | and it moves very slowly around the room. It occasionally |
| | "blasts off" like a rocket, warping to another room on the|
| | level (this seems to occur randomly). It is more vulner- |
| | able to attacks that directly hit the two bound female |
| | forms draped in green. |

| 2e. The -3900 Phase | [390]
-----------------------
Note: all levels up to and including -2900 essentially remain the same in
this phase, with the following minor changes:
- Alice no longer appears anywhere in the Neuro Tower.
- New dialogue from certain characters will be available.
[-3000 cubits]
Size: Medium
Meta-Beings: Hana-nip, Gold Moon, Cocteauhead
Music: "Mysterious Forming"
NPCs: None
Consciousness Orbs: 1
Cursebringer Angel: No
Notes: This level often contains a room with an empty hole in the floor
where you would expect a Consciousness Orb would be. Don't let yourself
be tricked into wasting an item by trying to throw it in this hole, as
you will lose it. The Consciousness Orb will be found somewhere else on
the level.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Hana-nip |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 430 |
| | EXP: 1396 |
| | Inflicted status: Confusion |
| | Knockback attack: Yes |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 6 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: Ice, Lightning |
| | Position: Mobile |
| | Idea Sephirah: Temperance |
| | |
| Drops: | Homing Bones |
| | Marrow Fluid |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Cymbal Crash: Hana-nip will crash the two cymbal-like |
| | appendages above its head together on you. [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Sound Blast: Hana-nip will shoot out a blast of sound |
| | energy from its cymbals. [Long Range] |
| | |
| | 3. Peel Out: Hana-nip will put its cymbals on the ground |
| | in front of it like a third wheel, which will give it |
| | the look of a drag race vehicle. It will "rev" up for |
| | about three seconds and then race toward you at a high |
| | speed. If it hits you, it will knock you back. [Long |
| | Range] |
| | |
| | 4. Soundwave: Hana-nip will emit a soundwave very similar |
| | to Johanna Kyon's Soundwave attack. It will warn you |
| | by lightly tapping its cymbals together a few times as |
| | it prepares to attack. This attack will knock you back |
| | and cause Confusion. [Close] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Hana-nip's attacks can be nasty if you're not wearing a |
| | fairly strong coat, and even then you need to watch your |
| | HP. Hana-nip regularly moves around within the level and |
| | is also extremely aggressive in its pursuit of you if you |
| | attempt to run away from it, so be aware of that. Also, it|
| | will travel a LONG distance on its Peel Out attack, so if |
| | you find yourself trapped in a corridor and it goes into |
| | its revving phase, quickly hit it with a Special Attack, |
| | because you will not be able to get away from it. |

Music: "The Wriggling One"
NPCs: None
Consciousness Orbs: 1 / 0
Cursebringer Angel: No
Notes: The Consciousness Orb on this level is NOT present when the level
is in its drained state. You must leave the drainage switch on -1000
flipped up if you want this Consciousness Orb to be here on every Tower
run.
Unlike -600 and -2800, you will find the same Meta-Beings present on
this level no matter which version you are on.
[-3200 cubits]
Size: Large
Meta-Beings: Galgal-Tank-Joe, Hana-nip, Gold Moon
Music: "The Wriggling One"
NPCs: None
Consciousness Orbs: None

Notes: This level also has Flooded and Drained versions, with the single
difference being that the Drained version has water burst environmental
traps that can be activated by green floor panels (similar to the blast
furnace traps in later "Mysterious Forming" type levels). Like -3100,
the same Meta-Beings are encountered on both versions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Galgal-Tank-Joe |

| | |
| Stats: | HP: 605 |
| | EXP: 688 |
| | Inflicted status: None |
| | Knockback attack: Yes |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 8 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: Ice, Lightning |
| | Position: Mobile |
| | Idea Sephirah: Chariot |
| | |
| Drops: | Fire Torturer |
| | Fire Disk |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Cannon Blast: Galgal-Tank-Joe will shoot a blast of |
| | fire energy out of its cannon. The blast will explode |
| | when it hits something (you/Meta-Being/wall) and can |
| | cause splash damage if you are close to its point of |
| | impact. [Long Range] |
| | |
| | 2. Bum Rush: Galgal-Tank-Joe will propel itself toward |
| | you in a similar manner to Nicl & Nicr's Torpedo at- |
| | tack, except that this attack has a much shorter range |
| | in which it will hit you. This is a knockback attack, |
| | it will also hit you if you are directly behind Galgal-|
| | Tank-Joe when it performs this attack, as it leaves a |
| | trail of energy behind it. [Close] |
| | |
| | 3. Laser Sweep: Galgal-Tank-Joe will ready its cannon just|
| | like it does for the Cannon Blast attack, except this |
| | time it will turn to its side and sweep the area in |
| | front of it with a red laser beam that causes fire |
| | damage. [Long Range] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | It is never a good idea to engage Galgal-Tank-Joe in a |
| | corridor or close space, as it will be very difficult to |
| | avoid its attacks. A good tactic to use is to stay just |
| | outside of the range of its Bum Rush attack and wait for |
| | it to ready its cannon, then run up and attack from the |
| | side. |

Notes: If you have the heat turned on via the switch on -300, watch out
for the heat coils here. Many of the Meta-Beings you will encounter on
this level like to use knockback attacks, which can propel you into the
coils and cause significant damage.

| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Hierophant |
| | |
| Drops: | Warp Bones |
| | Ice Disk |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Arm Stretch: Festum will extend one of its arms out at |
| | you, which will cause lightning-elemental damage and |
| | has a long reach. [Long Range] |
| | |
| | 2. Poison Breath: This attack is similar to Aries' Blind- |
| | ing Breath attack except the stream will be green and |
| | will cause Poison. [Long Range] |
| | |
| | 3. Ice Sword: Festum will lift its arms into the air and |
| | summon a sword-like object made out of ice. It will |
| | fire it through the air toward you which causes ice |
| | damage. [Long Range] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Due to the long range of Festum's Arm Stretch attack, it |
| | can be tough to avoid. On the other hand, all you need to |
| | do to avoid the Ice Sword attack is move from the place |
| | where you were standing when it hurled the sword at you. |

------------------------
| 2f. Post -3900 Phase | [POST]
------------------------
Note: all levels up to and including -3900 essentially remain the same in
this phase, but there are some significant changes:
- The Angelic Rifle can no longer be acquired in any manner. The Archangel
will not give you one before entering the Tower, you can no longer trade
the Littles' crystal to the Cursebringer Angel for one, and you can not
get one from Cherub on -3900.
- Alice and Eliza no longer appear anywhere in the Neuro Tower.
- New dialogue from almost all characters will be available.
- The Littles' Idea Sephirah crystal will no longer be found on -2000.
- After entering the Consciousness Orb on -3900, you will no longer be
taken to -99999. The credits will roll and you will return to the Outer
World.
At this point, your experience is not truly over. You can continue to do runs
through the Neuro Tower to fill the Item List, collect Idea Sephirah crystals
to show the Baroquemonger and complete the Character List, achieve more Ba-
roques, etc. Also, the Coffin Man's Bonus Dungeons are now available. See
Chapter IV for more information.
But wait, there's more... after you have shown approximately 160-170 crystals
to the Baroquemonger for him to read, things start to get interesting. You
will know you have shown enough crystals to the Baroquemonger once you hear
Voice List entry #205 from the Archangel on level -3900. See section V.3a
for more information.
Once you hear this comment from the Archangel, the "final" challenges of the
Neuro Tower commence. On your next Tower run, fully explore level -2700 and
you will make a strange discovery. You'll find a chamber with an odd glowing
yellow panel on the floor as you approach its entrance. The panel resembles
the green panels you have used to activate various environmental traps on
other levels.
Step on this yellow panel. You will be warped to a closed-off chamber within
the room where you will face-off against a new Meta-Being you have never en-
countered before (or at least in the Neuro Tower).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Manas |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 811 |
| | EXP: 777 |
| | Inflicted status: Confusion |
| | Knockback attack: No |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 4 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: None |
| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Wands |
| | |
| Drops: | Gold Bone |
| | AD Fluid |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Elemental Shower: Manas will spin around rapidly and |
| | spray balls of fire, ice, and electric energy into the |
| | air in all directions. [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Laser Shot: Manas will shoot a blue laser blast at you |
| | from its face. Its face will begin to glow blue when |
| | it is about to use this attack. [Long Range] |
| | |
| | 3. Fire/Ice/Lightning Blast: Manas will bend forward, re- |
| | vealing the top of its head, and fire a blast of ele- |
| | mental energy at you. [Long Range] |
| | |
| | 4. Confusion Gas: Manas will spray yellow gas on you from |
| | its mouth, causing you to be Confused. [Close] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Manas will frequently teleport around the room. It is im- |
| | mune to all status effects except for Stomachache. Once |
| | its face begins to glow to initiate the Laser Shot attack,|
| | Manas will not move or turn, making the attack very easy |
| | to dodge. Protection Bones can also be very helpful in |
| | dealing with Manas, as the majority of its attacks are |
| | elemental. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Manas is the first of the four "Deadly Meta-Beings", which are the strongest
foes you will meet in Baroque. There are three of them here in this chamber,
and you will not be released from the room until you have vanquished all of
them. Once you do, the door will open and you may again move freely about the
level.
You will fight all four of the Deadly Meta-Beings in the Neuro Tower one at a
time, with each victory serving a specific purpose. Defeating Manas on -2700
"revives" the Absolute God. The next time you reach -3900, you will find that
you can once again descend to level -99999 and speak to her. As you near her,
she will tell you that she "wishes for everything that was once inside" her.
Since you have no Angelic Rifle, fuse with her to return to the Outer World.
Note that you are not required to fight Manas on level -2700. Unlike in the
Bonus Dungeons, you will never be forced to go through their chamber to pro-
ceed through a level and find the Port (see Chapter IV for information about
this). You can pass up fighting Manas as long as you wish, though you will
not be able to proceed further in the Post -3900 phase until you do.
After defeating Manas, the next time you fully explore -2700 you will find
that the odd chamber has appeared again. Step on the yellow panel again to do
battle with another of the Deadly Meta-Beings, Perisomata.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Perisomata |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 812 |
| | EXP: 777 |
| | Inflicted status: Poison |
| | Knockback attack: Yes |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 4 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: None |
| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Cups |
| | |
| Drops: | Gold Bone |
| | AD Fluid |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Spin: Perisomata will spin around rapidly and propel |
| | itself toward you at a high speed. [Cup form, Long |
| | Range] |
| | |
| | 2. Jump: This attack is virtually identical to Aries's |
| | Jump attack, and like Aries it will knock you back. |
| | [Cup form, Long Range] |
| | |
| | 3. Sting: Perisomata will jab you with its stinger, which |
| | will Poison you. [Wasp form, Close] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Perisomata will first appear in its "Cup" form, where the |
| | shape of its body resembles a large blue chalice. Give it |
| | time and it will flip over and change to its "Wasp" form, |
| | where the sides of the cup become wings, its clown-like |
| | face is exposed, and it has a large stinger at its base. |
| | Perisomata can only be damaged when in its wasp form, and |
| | is immune to all status effects except for Stomachache |
| | and Poison. Perisomata almost always changes to its wasp |
| | form immediately after performing a Jump attack. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once again, defeat three of these enemies to be released from their chamber
and carry on as before. Once Perisomata has been defeated on -2700, on the
next time you descend to -99999 the Absolute God will tell you that she can
bring back the Littles. Fuse with her again.
Defeating Perisomata triggers the return of the Littles to the Cultivation
Chamber on -2000. From now on, any time you enter that room you will be
greeted by the Littles and their Idea Sephirah crystal will be found in the
center of the room once again.
Note: The following can be done on the same Tower run as when you defeat
Perisomata, but is not required to be.
After defeating Perisomata on -2700, the dreaded room with the yellow floor
panels will no longer be found on this level. However, such a room will now
be found on -3700. Fully explore this floor and again step on the yellow
square. Get ready to fight a third new breed of Meta-Being.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Tabula Smaragdina |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 999 |
| | EXP: 1000 |
| | Inflicted status: Lust |
| | Knockback attack: No |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 4 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: None |
| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Coins |
| | |
| Drops: | Gold Bone |
| | AD Fluid |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Item Spit: Tabula Smaragdina will spit a random item |
| | out at you. The item will damage you and/or cause re- |
| | lated status effects if it hits you. [Happy face, Long |
| | Range] |
| | |
| | 2. Coin Spit: Tabula Smaragdina will spit a gold coin at |
| | you that will cause damage. [Angry face, Long Range] |
| | |
| | 3. Lust Flare: Tabula Smaragdina will emit a pink light |
| | that moves around in various directions like a spot- |
| | light. If you are in range of it, it will inflict Lust |
| | on you. [Angry face, Close] |
| | |
| | 4. Spin: Tabula Smaragdina will stand on its tail and spin|
| | toward you like a top, similar to the Spin attack of |
| | Perisomata. [Angry face, Long Range] |
| | |
| | 5. Smash: Tabula Smaragdina will smash you by bringing |
| | the two sides of its circular-shaped exterior together |
| | on top of you. [Angry face, Close] |
| | |
| | 6. Drill: Tabula Smaragdina will extend its tail toward |
| | you and dart forward as if trying to drill into you |
| | with it. [Angry face, Long Range] |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Tabula Smaragdina is immune to all status effects except |
| | for Stomachache. Its "face", or the center of its body, |
| | is essentially made of a two-sided coin which it often |
| | flips during battle. If the "happy" yellow and blue side |
| | is showing, Tabula Smaragdina will use its Item Spit. If |
| | the "angry" purple and red side is showing, it will use |
| | its attacks. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point, you know the drill. After defeating the three Tabula Smarag-
dinas, continue onward. Defeating Tabula Smaragdina will trigger the return
of Eliza to the chamber with the two Consciousness Orbs on -200.
You have one last task to carry out. Collect the Littles' crystal from -2000
and proceed down to -3900 as usual. If you have defeated all three of Manas,
Perisomata and Tabula Smaragdina, you will not find any Deadly Meta-Being
chambers on any levels.
Enter the Consciousness Orb on -3900 and this time you will find yourself on
a new -4000 level instead of traveling to -99999 and the Absolute God. This
level will consist of a room with the dreaded yellow panels on the floor and
no exit. Step on one of the panels and prepare for a showdown with the last
and toughest of the Deadly Meta-Beings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| New Enemy: | Maleficia |
|--------------- -----------------------------------------------------------|
| | |
| Stats: | HP: 999 |
| | EXP: 1000 |
| | Inflicted status: None |
| | Knockback attack: Yes |
| | Replenishment by crystal: 4 VT |
| | Elemental Weakness: None |
| | Position: Stationary |
| | Idea Sephirah: Swords |
| | |
| Drops: | Gold Bone |
| | AD Fluid |
| | |
| Attacks: | 1. Double Slash: Maleficia will slash you once with each |
| | of its arms in quick succession. [Close] |
| | |
| | 2. Spinning Slash: Maleficia's body will spin rapidly and |
| | its arms will slash you repeatedly. [Close] |
| | |
| | 3. Flaming Plunge: Maleficia will raise up into the air, |
| | and then make a slashing motion into the ground, which |
| | causes an explosion and will knockback anything nearby.|
| | [Close] |
| | |
| | 4. Shockwave: Maleficia will twist to the side, and then |
| | make a sweeping motion with its body in the shape of a |
| | sword. This will send out a shockwave/arc that will |
| | damage and knock back anything it hits. [Long Range] |
| | |
| | 5. Omnislash: Maleficia will spin around and slash at you |
| | repeatedly for an extended length of time. [Close] |
| | - Yes, I stole this name from Final Fantasy VII |
| | |
| Notes/Tips: | Maleficia is immune to all status effects except for |
| | Stomachache and Lethargy. Due to the extremely fast speed |
| | of its movements and attacks, inflicting it with Lethargy |
| | can be a very useful tactic. Note that both the Shockwave |
| | and Flaming Plunge attacks can effectively hit you twice |
| | if you are very close to Maleficia when it performs them. |
| | Both of the attacks have a slashing motion that will cause|
| | damage along with the knockback effect. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once you have taken care of all three of these enemies, the door to the con-
finement chamber will open and a port will appear in the center of the main
room. Use it to descend to -99999. The Absolute God will ask you to let her
"hear the voice of the Littles again". Give the Littles' crystal to her. She
will thank you. Now fuse with her.
Giving the Idea Sephirah of the Littles to the Absolute God will trigger the
return of Alice to her chamber on -400.
A final note: These steps do not necessarily need to be completed in the de-
scribed order. While Manas MUST be defeated on -2700 to revive the Absolute
God and begin the process, the other steps can be done however you choose.
Perisomata (-2700) and Tabula Smaragdina (-3700) can be defeated on the same
Tower run, or if you wish you can leave Periosmata for later and take out
Tabula Smaragdina. You can also defeat Perisomata, obtain the Littles' crys-
tal, defeat Maleficia and give the crystal to the Absolute God without ever
ever fighting Tabula Smaragdina. In fact, if you wish to complete the Voice
List, you might want to do this for several Tower runs as two voices from
Alice require her to be brought back before Eliza (see section V.3a).
CONGRATULATIONS!
You have now successfully completed everything that can be done within the
Neuro Tower!

3. Step-by-Step Guide to Advancing the Storyline \_________________/ [STEP]
Step 1: Complete the Consciousness Simulation or die trying. On your next
attempt, the Neuro Tower will now be extended to the -1600 phase.
Step 2: Make Longneck bury himself by giving him Cultivating Fluid or fusing
with the Absolute God on -99999. If you choose the fluid method, Longneck
will bury himself on your next life. If you perform one of these steps and
he does not bury himself, purify more Koriel Members in the Neuro Tower and
try again.
Step 3: Purify Longneck by attacking him twice or giving him a Heart Seed.
Collect his Idea Sephirah.
Step 4: Show Longneck's Idea Sephirah to the Sentry Angel.
Step 5: On your next life, the Sentry Angel will have buried himself, leaving
the entrance to the Research Lab unguarded. Go inside and retrieve the Pro-
tagonist's ("Your") Idea Sephirah.
Step 6: Give the Protagonist's crystal to Eliza on -1500 to revive the Con-
sciousness Orb on this level and extend the Tower to the -2200 phase.
Step 7: Enter the Littles' Cultivation Chamber on -2000 to purify the Lit-
tles and extend the Tower to the -3000 phase. See the FAQ section if the
chamber won't open.
Step 8: Obtain the Littles' Idea Sephirah from the Cultivation Chamber.
Step 9: Give the Littles' crystal to Alice on -2800. This will extend the
Neuro Tower to the -3900 phase.
Step 10: Fuse with the Absolute God to finish the -3900 phase and view the
credits.
Step 11: Continue to complete the Neuro Tower/Bonus Dungeons and show Idea
Sephirah crystals to the Baroquemonger. After giving him around 160-170
crystals, you will receive voice #205 from the Archangel on -3900.
Step 12: Find and defeat Manas on -2700. This revives the Absolute God. Enter
the Consciousness Orb on -3900 and you will descend to -99999 again.
Step 13: Find and defeat Perisomata on -2700. Once this is done, the Absolute
God will bring back the Littles and ask for their crystal.
Step 14: Find and defeat Tabula Smaragdina on -3700. This will cause Eliza to
return to level -200. Note: Steps 13 and 14 may be completed on the same
Tower run.
Step 15: Get the Littles' crystal from the Cultivation Chamber. Defeat Male-
ficia on -4000, then descend to -99999 and give the crystal to the Absolute
God. This will cause Alice to return to level -400.

nip, but this does not work. This could possibly be a glitch in the
PS2 version, or it may be an element from the Japanese version of
the game that somehow failed to make its way into the International

I can not speak on its effectiveness in the Wii port.

2. The Cursebringer Angel \_________________________________________/ [CBA]
The Cursebringer Angel appears on various floors throughout the Neuro Tower
and serves multiple purposes.
1. If you have a sword or coat that has detereorated below its standard ATK
or DEF power (as noted in its item description), give it to the Cursebringer
and it will be restored. For example, if you find a Lucky Sword with an ATK
rating of 1, you will see its item description reads [ATK +3/TH 80]. This
means a normal Lucky Sword has an attack rating of 3 and the one you found
has deteriorated.
2. It will restore any rotten flesh or hearts you have. Rotten items give you
a Stomachache if you do not have an Ache Parasite fused with you or your coat
(see section 1 above). You can avoid this by having the Cursebringer Angel
restore these items. It will also "cook" any normal flesh/hearts to make them
Burnt. Burnt flesh or hearts will completely replenish your HP or VT, but at
the expense of the other stat.
3. It can combine two items to create a new one. You can try this if you want
to farm flesh/hearts, or if you're looking for a particular item you haven't
found in the Neuro Tower.
For the most part, this is not a consistent process. If you give the Curse-
bringer Angel a Puny Coat and a Port Bone to combine over and over again, it
is very likely you will receive a different item each time. However, there
are a select few item combinations that will yield consistent results. These
are as follows:
- Burnt Flesh x2 ---> Random flesh
- Burnt Heart x2 ---> Random heart
- Recovery A Fluid + Recovery D Fluid ---> Recovery AD Fluid
- Recovery AD Fluid x2 ---> Recovery DX Fluid
- Attack Fluid + Defense Fluid ---> AD Fluid
- Fire/Ice/Elec Parasite + any sword ---> Cremation/Frost/Thunder Sword
- Fire/Ice/Elec Parasite + any coat ---> Asbestos/Fleece/Rubber Coat
- Rusty Sword + any item ---> Random sword
- Old Coat + any item ---> Random coat
- Empty Box + any equippable item ---> Naked Box
- Empty Box + any box ---> Box Box
- Empty Box + any disk ---> Disk Box
All other item combinations will yield a random item from among those that
can be found on the current level. The odds are 15% the item will be a flesh
or heart, 10% it will be a sword, coat, wings or bones, and 5% it will be a
box, fluid, brand, torturer, disk or parasite.
4. It will give you a Toy Box in exchange for one Gold Bone or three Silver
Bones. Note: Anything you throw to the Cursebringer Angel will stay with it
from floor to floor and from Tower run to Tower run. You do not have to keep
Silver Bones until you have three, or store them with the Collector. When you
find one, give it to the Cursebringer Angel whenever you find it. It keeps
track of how many Silver Bones you have given it.
5. The Idea Sephirahs of certain NPCs can be given to the Cursebringer Angel
in exchange for a specific item. Here are the crystals it will accept and the
item you will be given for each:
- Longneck Crystal ---> Heart Seed
- Koriel Crystal ---> Revolution Fluid
- Bagged One Crystal ---> Vampire Torturer
- Littles Crystal ---> Angelic Rifle
- Horned Girl Crystal ---> Identifying Bones
- Boxbearer Crystal ---> A random box

5. Item Farming \__________________________________________________/ [FARM]
Item Farming can be a very useful tactic, especially for help in completing
some of the Bonus Dungeons or completing the Database's Character List. The
core items for the Item Farming process are a Split Brand and two Addition
Boxes. And of course you will want to store at least one of whatever item you
wish to farm.
Here is the step-by-step process:
1. Remove the two Addition Boxes from the Collector's inventory.
2. Remove the Split Brand.
3. Open one of the Addition Boxes, creating a second Split Brand. Give one
to the Collector so you will have another one for use at a later time.
4. Mark the Split Brand on yourself BEFORE entering the Neuro Tower. This
will ensure that you receive a second Addition Box on the 0 cubits first
level.
- Thanks to forum user Draconi_2 for this tip: If you currently have
access to the Research Lab, you can enter it to spawn an item, and
then another item will spawn when you return to the Outer World.
This trick gives you two quick Addition Boxes you can store with
the Collector.
5. Throw away any non-essential items you pick up on a given level before
using the Port to go down to the next. Remember, the Split Brand splits
one item at random from your inventory. As the variety of items in your
inventory goes up, the likelihood that the item you want to duplicate
will be split goes down.
6. Use the Consciousness Orbs throughout the Tower to send Addition Boxes
back to the Collector. See the Walkthrough for Orb locations.
7. After completing the Tower run, take all but two of the Addition Boxes
from the Collector, then take the item you want to farm. Now open all
the boxes and voila... you now have a stash of the desired item! Leave
two Addition Boxes so that you can start the process over again if you
need to.
Here are a few other tips about item farming that you might find useful:
- If you have extended the Tower to -3900, be sure to keep the drainage
switch on -1000 flipped to the up position. The Consciousness Orb on
-3100 only appears on the flooded version of the level.
- Look for Me Brands to use on your equipment (if you want to keep it). If
you can brand these items with a Me, that will free up more Consciousness
Orbs to send back Addition Boxes.
- If the free space in the Collector's inventory is down to only 2-3 slots
remaining, wait until the bottom of the Tower to send items back. This
is recommended in case you happen to find a rare item you need to add to
the Item List or you don't find any Me Brands for beefed up equipment.
- If you are trying to farm Idea Sephirah crystals for the Baroquemonger,
remember that you MUST farm an unread crystal! The Addition Box spawns an
exact duplicate of the last item acquired. So, if you use one to copy a
crystal that has already been read, you will not be able to have it read.
You may be asking why I don't suggest just using the item you want to farm
with the Split Brand instead of the round-about Addition Box method. In my
opinion is it better to use Addition Boxes because you will always be able to
create another Split Brand to store with the Collector before you start the
Tower run.

6. Additional Item Notes \________________________________________/ [NOTES]
Note: Some of the information in this section comes from the Japanese guide-
book for the Japanese version of the game.
- The Shockwave Sword will not be destroyed if it hits a Meta-Being, so you
can throw it at them over and over again.
- Be patient with the Vampire Sword (see FAQ section).
- The Twisted Sword has a 6% chance of quadrupling your total attack power.
- The Exposure Coat will be taken off every time a Meta-Being sees you.
- The Stubborn Coat/Wings combo does not double your overall DEF, just the
DEF power of the Coat.
- An Empty Box will explode the vast majority of times it is opened.
- If you allow a Hungry Box to eat an item, it has a roughly 60% chance of
exploding if you attempt to open it.
- If you throw a fluid that heals status effects at a Meta-Being, it will
inflict one of the effects that it heals on that Meta-Being.
- If you throw a Devolution Fluid at a Meta-Being, it will decrease its ATK
and DEF by 1.
- If you throw an Appraisal Fluid or Identifying Bone at a wall in the Neuro
Tower, you will receive a message telling you how deep the current phase
goes. However, this does not work with Aprsl Parasites.
- There is a trick you can use for easy healing if you have a Disarm Brand
and an Addition Box. Disarm Brands do not actually prevent boxes from ex-
ploding, rather they heal your HP and VT when it happens instead of you
taking damage. You will still lose the item eaten if opening a Hungry Box,
or will not receive an item with other box types. Disarm Brands will heal
a small amount of HP and VT every time you open a box of any kind, so if
you are low on health and have an Addition Box in your inventory, drop it
and pick it up then just open it repeatedly.
- DO NOT throw an Invincible Brand or Bone at a Meta-Being. This will cause
it to become Invincible for 15 seconds.
- If you throw a Torturer at a Meta-Being, it will have the same effect as
if you used it. This is normally a good thing, but be careful of the Revo-
lution Torturer. It reverses the HP and VT of not only all Meta-Beings in
the room, but you as well.
- Aside from needing it to receive the "I Am the World" Baroque, the Earplug
Bone is worthless (see "Status Effects" section above).
- Two parasites can be fused together to create a composite parasite. This
process allows you to fuse two parasites to your sword, coat or self.
- There is no set amount of time required for a Larva to become a parasite.
This can happen when descending to the next level after finding it, or it
may take ten levels. There is no way to know.
- Fusing two ATK or DEF parasites together will not result in an ATK/ATK or
DEF/DEF Parasite. If you fuse two ATK parasites together, you will receive
a single ATK Parasite that will give you a +2 boost to ATK rather than +1,
and the same goes for the DEF Parasite. You can use these with the Item
Farming tips above to create some wicked boosts. The ATK and DEF Parasites
can be fused together up to a strength of +99.
- Make sure you read the description of a parasite before fusing it. For
example, the description for the Conf Parasite reads: "Fuse with you or
your coat to prevent Confusion." This parasite will not enable you to Con-
fuse Meta-Beings by hitting them if fused to your sword. Rather, it will
be rendered useless. There are similar parasites that serve no purpose
when fused to your coat.
- Meta-Beings will activate the normal effects of an upside-down disk when
stepping on it. Don't make the mistake of thinking you're safe from damage
when a Small Bullger drops a Flame Disk upside-down and a Kato comes roll-
ing toward it.
=============================================================================
IV. THE COFFIN MAN'S DUNGEONS [COF]
-----------------------------
=============================================================================
The Coffin Man provides extra dungeons you can try at two different points in
the game. The Training Dungeons are accessible immediately after completing
the Consciousness Simulation. The Bonus Dungeons can be attempted after fin-
ishing the -3900 phase (see Walkthrough). Coffin Man's dungeons introduce an
8th level type with the "Echo of Infinity" background music.
You can complete one of these dungeons per life. This means that after you
successfully finish a Training or Bonus Dungeon, you must either complete a
Tower run or die before the Coffin Man will let you enter again.
______________________ _________
1. Training Dungeons \____________________________________________/ [TRAIN]
The Coffin Man provides three Training Dungeons where you can learn about
the ins and outs of Baroque and put your dungeon-busting skills to work.
The first of these, the Beginner Dungeon, is available immediately after
completing the Consciousness Simulation.
You will not be able to save between levels in the Training Dungeons. All
of the floors are the "Echo of Infinity" type. He will give you gameplay
tips throughout the levels, so if you're a newcomer to Baroque, you should
take it slow and listen to what he has to say. All three dungeons are seven
levels deep, and all items you find inside will automatically be identified
when you pick them up. You will keep all items you find and do not use in
the Training Dungeons when you return to the Outer World as long as you do
not die.
- The Beginner Dungeon: Moon is the only Meta-Being you will encounter in
this dungeon. You'll pick up a few simple items and get some tips on how to
use them.
- The Intermediate Dungeon: You will primarily encounter Moons, but there
is one floor in which you'll find some Large Bullgers. You'll pick up a lot
of bones in this Dungeon, which can be very helpful if you're looking to
achieve the "Cursebringing" or "Skeleton Man" Baroque on your next trip to
the Neuro Tower.
- The Advanced Dungeon: You will only find Moons in this dungeon. There is
a Cursebringer Angel on the first level. You can use it to transform two
items in your inventory that are already in your Item List to items you
haven't recorded yet, if you wish. You will find a number of fluids on this
level, as the Coffin Man uses this dungeon to teach you about statuses. On
-200 you will be Poisoned, on -300 you'll find yourself both Lethargic and
in Lust, and on -400 your HP will be cut in half. Once you reach the lowest
level here, you have completed the Training Dungeons.
___________________ _________
2. Bonus Dungeons \_______________________________________________/ [BONUS]
-------------------
| 2a. Information | [INFO]
-------------------
The Coffin Man provides seven more Dungeons for you to try your hand at after
you have completed the -3900 phase of the Neuro Tower. Unlike the Training
Dungeons, you can attempt these dungeons in any order and can save between
levels. Each one is 100 floors of pure dungeon-busting, with no Consciousness
Orbs, no NPcs, and no Cursebringer Angel. Like your training, any items you
find in the Bonus Dungeons and do not use will be retained in your inventory
after you make it through. In the lower levels of these Bonus Dungeons, you
will find advanced blue and red forms of all the Meta-Beings (like the Gold
Moons and Large Blue Bullgers in the Neuro Tower). These Meta-Being versions
have much higher HP totals and attack power. Here is a brief explanation of
each Bonus Dungeon:
- Hell Dungeon: No gimmicks here, just a straight shot through 100 levels
of "the world's greatest goddamn dungeon!"
- Defenseless Dungeon: There are no equippable items to be found in this
dungeon, and you will not be allowed to enter if you have a Sword, Coat
or Wings in your inventory.
- Hunger Dungeon: No flesh or hearts will be found in this Dungeon, which
includes Meta-Being item drops. You will have to rely on Bones, Fluids
and Torturers to heal.
- Trap Dungeon: In this dungeon, the only items you will find lying around
on the floor will be torturers and disks. The only item drops you will
get from Meta-Beings are the ones which are one of these two item types,
although they will occasionally still drop their respective Idea Seph-
irah crystals.
- Rotten Dungeon: In this dungeon, all flesh and hearts you find will be
rotten. This is easily countered with a Ache Parasite.
- Frugal Dungeon: There are no items at all in this dungeon, including any
item drops. What you enter with is what you get.
- Reverse Disk Dungeon: In this dungeon, all disks will be upside down.
Here are some other hints and tips to help you through:
- All Bonus Dungeons follow the same Floor Chart (see next section). The
level type and Meta-Beings encountered are the same on each level every
time.
- The Idea Sephirah drop rate of all Meta-Beings is doubled in the Bonus
Dungeons.
- Strong, beefed up equipment is a MUST and Invincible Bones are strongly
advised. The advanced blue/red forms of many of the Meta-Beings can do
quite a bit of damage. These advanced forms are detailed in section 3
below. Also, there will be occasions where you will be forced through
the rooms housing the Deadly Meta-Beings in order to find the Port and
proceed down to the next level.
- Environmental hazards are more dangerous than in the Neuro Tower. Also,
the "Voice From Abyss" style levels have a new hazard: moving electric
beams found in a few new room designs.
- An Appraisal Brand is also recommended, as many of the items you find
will be unidentified, including many of the drops from advanced forms of
Meta-Beings.
- Be very wary of using fluids and bones that you find unidentified in the
Bonus Dungeons. Harmful ones such as Death Bones/Revolution Fluids/Moldy
Fluids are commonly dropped.
- Also, be very careful of disks dropped by the advanced Meta-Beings, as
almost all of them have negative effects. This can be a nuisance in some
later levels when you meet blue/red Festums and Galgal-Tank-Joes in the
same level.
- When you come across a room with glowing yellow floor panels at the en-
trance, beware, as these will teleport you to the confinement chambers
of the Deadly Meta-Beings. To find out what Deadly Meta-Being awaits
you, check the Floor Chart to find out.
- On certain early "Crazy Prayer", "Mysterious Forming" or thawed "Frenzy
and Noise" type levels, you may find rooms with yellow panels that tele-
port you to an empty chamber.
- If you have not yet defeated all four of the Deadly Meta-Beings in the
Neuro Tower and received the �Deadly Meta-Beings� Baroque, you will only
find them in their confinement chambers. However, after receiving this
Baroque, they will appear throughout the level as a normal Meta-Being.
- See the FAQ section for a way to circumvent the Defenseless Dungeon and
sneak equipment in.
- In the Trap and Hunger Dungeons, try to make use of the Food Disks that
are dropped by Soconpo and the advanced forms of Festum and Liar to turn
unwanted items into flesh and hearts. Also, using Summon Torturers in
conjunction with Heart or Spoiled Torturers is a good way to manufacture
these items and increase your HP/VT. You also may want to farm Kenryu
Flesh and Heart Fruits to boost your MAX HP/VT before attempting them. A
Healing Brand and/or Stamina Wings are also very useful here, especially
if you have not yet achieved many Baroques.

Tip: Do some AD Fluid farming here in the Gliro�s nest. Both the Blue and
Red versions drop AD Fluids at a decent frequency, so you should be able
to boost your Sword/Coat several levels. If you don't find yourself re-
ceiving as many fluids as you want on this level, I recommend starting
over until you do.

| Method: | Heard before entering the Neuro Tower at +45* |
| | |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Eighteenth Row Completion Bonus: Koriel XIII concept art |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Note: Voices from the Archangel that are heard upon approaching the Neuro
Tower at certain times (+XX lives) are not necessarily guaranteed. These
can be offset/pushed back a few lives by either dying repeatedly without
completing the Tower, or entering repeatedly without talking to any of
the Outer World NPCs. Also, what the Archangel says changes after com-
pleting the -3900 phase, so any of these voices you have not received at
that time will be bypassed until the start of a new game.
----------------------------
| 3b. The "Elusive" Voices | [ELU]
----------------------------
These are some of the most difficult voices in the Voice List to obtain, most
often due to a very defined set of criteria or a very limited time window in
which they can be received. Here are detailed descriptions on how to get all
of them.
53. To receive this voice, you must first complete the Hell Dungeon, and then
ON THE SAME LIFE descend to -3900 in the Neuro Tower. When you approach
the Archangel, you will find that you have bored him to sleep. Throw an
item into his Consciousness Orb to wake him up and produce this voice.
Note: If you do not do this, he will remain asleep on subsequent trips to
-3900 until you do.
55. This voice can only be obtained before attempting the Consciousness Sim-
ulation. Purify Moons in the Outer World until one of them drops Bones,
then talk to Bagged One with said bones in your inventory.
62. To get this voice, you MUST view �Confession of Sin� before completing
ANY Tower runs, meaning you have to make Longneck bury himself by showing
him Cultivating Fluid. After viewing the cutscene, fire the Angelic Rifle
in Angelicus�s chamber BEFORE talking to her at all. Now talk to her 3
times, and the third voice you receive will be this one.
76. To get this voice, start a new game. Do not talk to any NPCs in the Outer
World except for the Archangel. Die three consecutive times in the Tower
(including the Consciousness Simulation). On your fourth time approaching
the Tower, the Archangel will say something about throwing items at the
�twisted ones�. After this comment, he does not fade away as usual. Move
away from him and then toward him again and you will receive this voice
and the Angelic Rifle.
77. This is a tricky voice to obtain as most players will completely miss the
window in which you can get it without planning ahead of time. You must
extend the Tower to -2200 and talk to Scythe on -1900 BEFORE talking to
Boxbearer four times. After dying/completing the run, talk to Bagged One
in the Outer World. Note, you can not get this voice until after you have
received voices #24 and #106, so she may not say it immediately after you
first talk to Scythe.
90/163/214. To get these three voices, you must bring Alice back in the Post
-3900 phase WITHOUT bringing back Eliza. Refer to section II.2f and do
everything described EXCEPT for fighting Tabula Smaragdina on -3700 (skip
their chamber). Alice will return to -400. To get voices #90 and #163,
exhaust all dialogue with her on two separate Tower runs (neither voice
will be the first thing she says). To get #214, you must then bring back
Eliza by defeating Tabula Smaragdina. However, DO NOT talk to her on -200
on your next Tower run. Speak to Alice on -400 and voice #214 will be
the first thing she says.
101/192. Once you are able to break Boxbearer�s box, attack him once to do
so. Then, when he does not have a box, show him Bagged One�s Idea Seph-
irah to get voice #192. After he speaks, attack him again and you will
get voice #101. (Side note: you will not be able to purify Boxbearer
during your current game until you give him a replacement box and then
break it)
169. A few players will come across this entry by pure chance, but otherwise
this is without a doubt the single trickiest voice in the game to obtain.
It can only be received on the -1600 phase of the Tower, before viewing
�Confession of Sin�. It requires the following criteria to be met on four
consecutive Tower runs.
- 1st run: Purify the Absolute God on -99999
- 2nd run: Fuse with the Absolute God on -99999
- 3rd run: Die before ever reaching Alice in the Neuro Tower (let the
Moons on the first level kill you, or kill yourself with a steam
vent on -100).
- 4th run: Talk to Alice on -1400 while carrying an unused Angelic
Rifle.
NOTE: This has not been tested, but it is possible that this will not
work if you are the �alternate� self on the 4th run. Start this process
as the alternate self so that when you fuse at the end of the second run,
you will change back to the normal self.
170. If you have not yet completed ANY training dungeons, the Coffin Man
makes a variety of comments to you if you die in the Hell Dungeon. What
he says will change based on how far you went down on your last attempt.
Talk to the him after dying in the Hell Dungeon between levels -1000
and -1400 and you will receive this voice.
178. This voice can only be obtained after viewing �Confession of Sin� and
before purifying the Littles to extend the Tower to -3000. You also must
have given Angelicus an unused rifle in a previous Tower run. Before
reaching her chamber on your current Tower run, fire all 5 bullets out of
the rifle and then discard it. Speak to her and you will get this voice.
183. On your first attempt at the -1600 phase, die after discovering a Con-
sciousness Orb chamber, but without having used any Orbs. The Archangel
will say this as you approach the Neuro Tower on your next �life�.
198. This voice can only be obtained before the Consciousness Simulation. To
get it, you must agitate the Sentry Angel into killing you in the Outer
World by attacking him repeatedly (for about one minute). Eventually he
will say this voice and strike you down. Note: this is also the only way
to get Event cutscene #4.
227. To get this voice, you must complete two consecutive Tower runs on the
Post -3900 phase after having brought back Eliza but NOT Alice. After de-
feating Manas on -2700 on one Tower run, just avoid Perisomata on -2700
on the next, defeat Tabula Smaragdina on -3700 to revive Eliza, and do
two more runs all the way down to the Absolute God. Avoid Perisomata both
times. You should receive this voice from the Archangel at the end of the
second run.
--------------------------------
| 3c. Other Interesting Voices | [OTHER]
--------------------------------
This is a brief listing of interesting, informative or amusing voices that
can be found in Baroque that are not entries in the database Voice List.
Enjoy!
Absolute God:
- Listen to what she has to say each time you reach her during the Post
-3900 phase. Skip various steps a few times to hear different comments.
Alice:
- Give her a Me Brand
- Give her a parasite
- Give her rotten flesh
- Attack her with a sword
- Attack her with your fists as both your �normal� and �alternate� self
- After seeing �Confession of Sin�, either shoot her on -1400 with the
Angelic Rifle or talk to her after using it to purify several Meta-
Beings on your current Tower run.
Archangel:
- He gets very angry with you if you repeatedly die in the Neuro Tower
without completing it, and will express his displeasure as you enter
the Tower again and again.
Bagged One:
- Give all types of items to her
- Talk to her as you repeatedly die in the Neuro Tower. She will make some
cryptic comments, including something about a Professor Noda. To get the
majority of these voices, I recommend not purifying her until long after
you complete the main part of the story.
Baroquemonger:
- Talk to him with a Stomachache
Boxbearer:
- Give him flesh or a heart
- Give him a Laughing Box
- Give him a Revolution Fluid
- Give him a Resurrect Brand
Coffin Man:
- Give him Longneck�s crystal
- Talk to him after dying on various levels of the Hell Dungeon
Collector:
- Die on 3 straight trips through the Neuro Tower without hitting him,
then talk to him. This must be done before there are 20 items filled on
the Item List.
* EXTRA NOTE: Thanks to Malek86 for information about this voice.
This is the infamous "missable" voice entry from the original version
of the game. Owners of the original found that they would not be able
to complete the database without starting over again from scratch if
they missed this voice during the early stages of the game.
Cursebringer Angel:
- Repeatedly attack it with both swords and fists
- Try to give it a sword/coat that is beefed up to +30 or higher
Doctor Angelicus:
- Shoot her with the Angelic Rifle before purifying the Littles
- Talk to her on -400 during the Consciousness Simulation without ever pick-
ing up the Angelic Rifle in the Outer World
- Talk to her on -1200 after purifying Longneck but before giving his Idea
Sephirah to the Sentry Angel
Eliza:
- Shoot her with the Angelic Rifle on -1500
- Attack her with a sword and with your fists
Fist:
- Talk to him while in Lust
Horned Girl:
- Talk to her after dying in a Training Dungeon
Longneck:
- Talk to him while wearing imitation wings
- Talk to him after throwing a Heart Seed next to him
The Mind Reader:
- Talk to her when fused with a parasite
- Talk to her with Longneck's Idea Sephirah in your inventory
- Talk to her with an Identifying Bone in your inventory
- Talk to her at level 15 or higher
The Sentry Angel:
- Give him a Wing Parasite
Urim and Thummin:
- Give all types of items to them
- Hit them with each type of elemental sword
- Talk to them before meeting Eliza on -200
- Talk to them with a Stomachache
- Talk to them with a Me Brand in your inventory
- Talk to them with a parasite in your inventory
Aside from the specific instructions in this list, you can also get a number
of interesting or funny voices by giving all characters the Angelic Rifle and
the Idea Sephirah crystals of the Protagonist, the Littles, and the Koriel.
Also, the NPCs that you aren't required to purify (Bagged One, Horned Girl,
and Boxbearer) will have some interesting things to say if you don't purify
them at all and continue to talk to them as you complete everything there is
to do in the game.

4. Baroque List \___________________________________________________/ [BAR]
Here are a few things you will want to remember about the Baroques you can
receive throughout the game:
- You can only receive one Baroque per life. If you meet the requirements for
multiple Baroques in one Tower run, you will receive the highest ranking of
those Baroques. This means you must plan ahead for some of the ones that
are harder to acquire.
- Each Baroque gives the Protagonist a small boost in strength, luck, speed
or ability (in some cases multiple categories). As you collect Baroques
over time, you will notice yourself moving faster, taking less damage, re-
gaining more HP/VT from hearts and flesh than the standard amount, etc. You
also may have noticed that the Baroquemonger always says "Baroques have an
effect on its holder", and he sometimes praises you after achieving a new
Baroque.
- Some Baroques are "landmark" Baroques, which are marked in the list with an
(L) after their name and description. These Baroques carry over from life
to life, so if you don't receive that Baroque on a particular life, you can
receive it on a future life when it is the highest-ranking one you achieve.
For example: If you complete the final Training Dungeon in the Outer World
(meeting the requirements for "Vacant Coffin") but die on the following
Tower run by eating a Boom Bone, you'll receive "Explosive End". But die on
the next Tower Run without doing anything significant and you'll receive
"Vacant Coffin" for that life.
- Some of these Baroques are fairly self-explanatory and/or very easy to come
by. But when appropriate, I have included tips or information that should
help you when attempting to achieve some other Baroques.
- The Baroque List is arranged from highest-to-lowest priority.
1. Hell Champ � Conquer the Hell Dungeon
*Tips: With this and all other Bonus Dungeon Baroques, keep in mind
that you will not achieve this until the next life. Do not enter the
Neuro Tower planning to chase another Baroque or you will put in a
lot of work for nothing.
2. Defenseless Champ - Conquer the Defenseless Dungeon
3. Hunger Champ - Conquer the Hunger Dungeon
4. Trap Champ � Conquer the Trap Dungeon
5. Rotten Champ � Conquer the Rotten Dungeon
6. Frugal Champ - Conquer the Frugal Dungeon
7. Reverse Disk Champ - Conquer the Reverse Disk Dungeon
8. Sword�s Miracle � Land 5 consecutive critical hits with a sword attack
*Tips: Lucky equipment and high levels are a big help here.
9. Unfortunate Death � Die from the damage caused by a Meta-Being stepping
on a disk
10. Bomber � Purify 50+ Meta-Beings with the Exploding Brand
11. Powerhouse � Beat the Neuro Tower without a weapon and attack above 50
*Tips: The easiest way to do this is to farm Recovery DX Fluids
(see section III.5)
12. Wasted Effort � Lose either a sword or a coat with 30+
*Tips: This description is tricky and somewhat misleading. You can't
get this one from dying or completing a Tower run while holding the
equipment. The easiest way to achieve this is to let a Gliro steal
the item or to lose it to a Food Disk, proceed to the next level
(this MUST be done), and then die.
13. Unstoppable � Conquer the Neuro Tower after taking 5,000+ damage from
Meta-Beings
*Tips: Tackle the -3900 phase of the Tower with an Unlucky Coat/Sword
and a Healing Brand. Fully explore every floor and fight all Meta-
Beings you encounter. Your biggest threat here is Sword's Miracle,
which is why I recommend Unlucky equipment. You may also want to
stay away from elemental equipment and parasites.
14. Executioner � Beat the Neuro Tower after purifying 100+ Meta-Beings with
Torturers
*Information: You do not actually have to beat the Neuro Tower to get
this Baroque.
15. Hurling Dervish � Beat the Neuro Tower after purifying 100+ Meta-Beings
by throwing items
16. Appraiser (L) � Identify 50+ items
17. Deadly Meta-Beings (L) - Purify Manas, Perisomata, Maleficia, and Tabula
Smaragdina
*Information: You will not receive this Baroque from defeating the
Deadly Meta-Beings in the Bonus Dungeons. You'll receive this after
you have found and cleared out all four of their chambers in the
Neuro Tower (see Section II.2f).
18. Screaming Tower (L) � Enter the Neuro Tower 100+ times
*Information: This must be done in a single game.
19. Fragments of Truth (L) � Hear 200+ messages about the crystals from the
Baroquemonger
20. Broken Doll � Get killed by the Sentry Angel before the Consciousness
Simulation
*Information: See the FAQs if you do not know how to achieve this.
21. Promise of Peace � Beat the Neuro Tower without purifying any Meta-Beings
*Tips: Be careful not to step on disks here, as you can inadvertently
kill Meta-Beings by doing this and may not even notice.
22. Friendly Fire (L) � Shoot all Koriel Members with the Angelic Rifle
*Information: You can not purify the Koriel with the Angelic Rifle.
You will still have to strike them, so don't waste multiple bullets
from the Rifle thinking you did something wrong.
23. Unrewarded Effort � Beat the Neuro Tower without opening a Trials Box for
2,000 cubits
24. Orb Seeker � Beat the Neuro Tower after using every Consciousness Orb
25. Mugged � Let Gliro steal an item 20+ times
26. Shadow Boxer � Swing your weapon without hitting anything 100+ times in
a row
27. Hunger Strike � Die by losing HP from 0 VT (Only when your VT MAX > 499)
*Tips: The easiest way to achieve this is to use a Revolution Fluid.
Alternatively, place a Recovery Disk upside down and stand on it,
but only if MAX HP > MAX VT.
28. Special Hunter � Beat the Neuro Tower after purifying 300+ Meta-Beings
by sword
*Information: Like Executioner, you do not actually have to beat the
Neuro Tower to get this Baroque.
29. Fasting Penance � Beat the Neuro Tower without consuming Flesh, Hearts
or Bones
*Information: This includes eating anything in the Outer World before
entering the Neuro Tower, so don't attempt to boost your HP/VT by
eating items stored with the Collector beforehand. Get this Baroque
on the -1600 phase once you have some good equipment.
30. Perfectionist � Beat the top ranking after finishing the main episode
once
*Tips: See the FAQ section to learn how the rankings are determined.
I HIGHLY recommend going after this Baroque before attempting any
of the Bonus Dungeons, as it becomes MUCH more difficult to get it
once you have completed one.
31. The World�s Tears (L) � Find all Idea Sephirah that are in the Item List
32. Cursebringing � Combine items 30+ times using Cursebringer Angel on one
floor
*Tips: Stocking up on bones is a very easy way to achieve this one.
33. Bug Nurturer � Raise 10+ Larvae until they mature into another Parasite
*Information: This must be done in a single Tower run.
34. Serial Thrower � Throw items 100+ times
35. Close to God � Die at the lowest level
*Information: You have to die on -99999, and this Baroque can only be
achieved on the -3900 phase. Use a Revolution Fluid, eat Boom Bones,
or place a Recovery Disk upside down.
36. Obsessed � Fill up the item window with the same item
*Tips: A Parasite Box is a very easy and quick way to get this one.
37. Self-Reliant � Reach the lowest level without using any Consciousness
Orbs
*Information: This Baroque can only be achieved on the -3900 phase
38. Fragile Splendor � Beat the Neuro Tower while wearing Glass Sword, Glass
Cape and Glass Wings
39. Wasted Core � Beat the Neuro Tower or die while holding 15+ types of
Crystals
*Tips: With this Baroque, and all other item collection Baroques, it
will not suffice to have just 15 items of the required type. All 15
items must be different.
40. Parasite Museum � Beat the Neuro Tower or die while holding 15+ types of
Parasites
41. Disk Collector � Beat the Neuro Tower or die while holding 15+ types of
Disks
42. Masochist � Beat the Neuro Tower or die while holding 15+ types of Brands
43. Box bOx boX BOX � Beat the Neuro Tower or die while holding 15+ types of
Boxes
44. Warrior Spirit � Beat the Neuro Tower or die while holding 15+ types of
Swords
45. Fashion Plate � Beat the Neuro Tower or die while holding 15+ types of
Coats
46. Icarus�s Student � Beat the Neuro Tower or die while holding 10+ types of
Imitation Wings
47. Torture Master � Beat the Neuro Tower or die while holding 15+ types of
Torturers
48. Medical Partner � Beat the Neuro Tower or die while holding 15+ types of
Fluids
49. Skeleton Man � Beat the Neuro Tower or die while holding 15+ types of
Bones
50. Irony � Die while invincible
*Tips: There 2 easy ways to get this one: (1) Eat an Invincible Bone,
then stand on a Recovery Disk placed upside down. (2) Mark yourself
with an Invincible Brand and then allow your VT to deplete to 0 and
your HP to deplete to < 5. Then step on a port and proceed to the
next level.
51. Explosive End � Die by consuming a Boom Bone
52. March On � Change floor level 10+ times with a Meta-Being in the same
room
53. Confused World � Beat the Neuro Tower while you�re Confused
54. I am the World � Fuse with the Absolute God while Blind and Deaf
*Information: The only way to become "deaf" is to eat an Earplug Bone
55. Arrow of Eros � Beat the Neuro Tower while in Lust mode
56. Collector (L) � Get items from Urim and Thummin, Mind Reader, Doctor
Angelicus and the Neophyte.
*Tips: See the Walkthrough to find out how to receive items from
each of these characters
57. Vacant Coffin (L) � Conquer all training dungeons
58. Cat Lover � Use the Cat Torturer 6+ times on a single floor
59. Cat Fan � Use the Cat Torturer 3+ times on a single floor
60. Liberator (L) � Once buried, purify Longneck, Horned Girl and Bagged One
*Tips: See the FAQs for more information
61. Unforgettable (L) � Have a conversation with a specific phantom brother
*Information: "Phantom brother" refers to the spectre you meet on
level -100.
62. Useless - Die without doing anything in the Outer World
*Tips: To get this Baroque, just begin a new life and immediately set
the controller down and do absolutely nothing with it until you die.
Note: You can not get "Useless" on the Consciousness Simulation life.
*Additional Information: GameFAQs forum user ACasser has brought to my
attention that owners of some older PS2 units can not achieve Useless
on their system due to a firmware glitch that causes a "drift" issue
where the controller never centers properly. This problem can not be
corrected by disconnecting the controller. If you are seeking 100%
completion and you are unable to achieve this Baroque, the solution
we suggest is trying on a friend's system.
63. Careless Death � Be killed by a Meta-Being outside the Neuro Tower while
level 2+
64. Distant Spirit � You currently haven�t met the requirement for any other
Baroque

5. Character List \________________________________________________/ [CHAR]
- Yourself
#1: A sense of loss... Slumber... Neuro Tower.
#2: A fragment of mind... and... a lost half of a body.
#3: This crystal... It's got a strange feeling that's different from the
Baroques I've seen before. What is this?
#4: I have a feeling I know someone that looks like him...
#5: I see many human figures, but... All of them have the same face. This
memory... I've seen it somewhere...
#6: ...A shadow of a close person remains strong. Its volatile shape is
almost as if it is a mix of delusion and reality, but whether or not
that�s the result of a Baroque is...
#7: An inhuman entity... Something surrounded by light so strong one can
not look directly at it...
#8: A piece of the world that threw the world into confusion... That's
you.
- Koriel Member
#1: Knowledge... Protection... ...A sanctuary.
#2: Worship and inquisition... And... the distortion of the world.
#3: An alarm that wouldn�t stop ringing... Hope that was terminated be-
fore their eyes and... A white light... that covered the world.
#4: ...How very interesting. Perhaps they tried to touch the entity that
is also known as the root of the world? Like, for instance... The one
at the bottom of the Neuro Tower...
#5: From the shape of this crystal, I can almost see through to their
passion for the pursuit of truth... Whether or not they were able to
reach it is...
#6: Continuously offered prayer. Miracles are not things that occur
simply because one wishes for them. Yet, they did not mind that.
#7: The source of distortion... A word called the World� This core is not
exactly distortion. I think we could say... that this is not simply a
Baroque.
#8: They just wanted to know. They probably didn�t imagine that it would
bring about these results. ...The best laid plans of mice and men...
#9: Souls that accepted their fate... At times they are pure, and at
times they are foolish.
#10: I have heard that there was a writer that had ruined himself in his
pursuit of truth. Though in his case, it wasn�t like he offended God
to find the truth...
#11: Humans that tried to trespass onto God�s domain and a god that simply
appeared in the realm of man... Which of these is more sinful...?
- Boxbearer
#1: Compassion... Separation... An empty box.
#2: A sway of delusion... What he wanted and what he couldn't grasp...
#3: A girl that had started to distort before his very eyes. Something
kept in a box. What was it that he killed...?
#4: ...A giant research facility... He seemed to have worked frantically
as some sort of technician. To escape something that was haunting his
mind...
#5: He could not live without clinging onto his delusions... Yet, unable
to completely become his Baroque, he probably suffered in the gap be-
tween delusion and reality.
#6: I�m accustomed to Baroques of immortality but, this must be a Baroque
of rebirth. It�s not like I haven�t come across one before, but it is
an incomplete delusion...
#7: A daughter that was transferred through the Consciousness Orb, huh...
Whatever the case, this was something that had already happened.
#8: What was inside his box? It�s said that disaster and hope were inside
Pandora�s box. But in this world, there are also empty boxes.
- Longneck
#1: ...What is this? All I hear is a monotonous repetition of words...
I�ve nothing else to say other than that it is a superb Baroque.
#2: The only things I can hear are... a strong remorse and a fixation on
life. A repetition of the two.
#3: It seems he was conducting some sort of research, but reading the de-
tails will be no small feat. The distortion is hindering my ability
to discern it...
#4: It must have been tough carrying this Baroque even after the dis-
tortion... It�s quite impressive... in many different aspects.
#5: His neck grew as if to avert his eyes from his own sin... And his
body grew corpulent as he desired death. Quite a troublesome person,
indeed.
#6: What is... the red... queen? I cannot see... the distortion is too
great.
#7: You�ve taken this distortion, yet you remain unchanged. In other
words, perhaps it means that you are already carrying a Baroque that
is far heavier than this...
#8: Baroque... It is a sickness unto death, but it can also be an answer.
Do you not understand? I suppose not. I don�t truly understand it
myself.
- Horned Girl
#1: A sense of occlusion and... Assimilation... No, can it be that this
Baroque is... This girl, I�ve seen her somewhere...
#2: It all began as childish fun... Teasing, pranks... Inaudible murmurs
#3: On the way home from school... A girl with empty eyes, standing in
the corner of the ruins...
#4: ...It's hard to read distinct words from this crystal. Its form as a
Baroque is unwavering, but...
#5: An imaginary reality held in the girl�s palms. A comfortable world
detached from the pain that stood before her eyes...
#6: Faceless friends... That�s why the young girl was able to become
tractable. The person standing there was a blank somebody, a nobody
that was capable of becoming anybody.
#7: Fading, disappearing self... Eventually, she had stopped being her-
self... She could not be harmed, so long as she was someone else...
#8: A girl that abandoned herself in an attempt to protect herself... I
see... So this was the girl from that time... To think that my Ba-
roque would grow so... huh.
- Bagged One
#1: Information... Father... A boisterously whirling torrent of memories
#2: Concealment and restraint... The pain of separation...
#3: A dark, swaying shadow... She knew that this was something that would
remain unforgiven.
#4: Unable to forget none of the information that flowed in through her
five senses. Pain and happiness still vivid.
#5: A swelling bag of memories. All in an attempt to leave a singular
thought behind somewhere...
#6: Endlessly accumulating information... But no matter how much know-
ledge she stuffed in, she could not escape that thought...
#7: The confusion and despair never faded inside her. It would be vividly
replayed repeatedly. Every time it did, she...
#8: There are 2 Baroques inside this crystal... But now nothing more will
be etched inside her thoughts.
- Little
#1: ...! ...Pain? Is this not a Baroque? Exactly what crystal is this?
#2: This foreign presence... This cannot be a human Baroque. Can it pos-
sibly be... a part of God?
#3: If I were to liken this to a human, then this would probably be...
The embodiment of pain itself. I apologize, but that is the most fit-
ting description I can think of at this moment.
#4: ...Extraordinarily pure pain. For it to exist in this world in this
form is unimaginable, but... Ignoring that, this core... it is not a
Baroque.
#5: There�s no mistaking that this crystal is pain of incredible purity.
But, have its thoughts been purified...? Its influential power on
those that touch it isn�t that strong.
#6: I cannot read what�s in the background from this crystal... Actually,
whether or not there is a background is uncertain...
#7: I see... A gateway that leads to something... to an existence that�s
not human... But I�m afraid I cannot get any closer... Sorry to dis-
appoint you, I apologize.
#8: Pain. I can feel no other element from this crystal. ...Horribly pure
pain.
- Magician
#1: Despair... Prayer... ...Merciless reality.
#2: Those who adore him... Those he is to protect... And... an unavoid-
able distortion.
#3: He had... Tried to live honestly even in this distorted world.
#4: ...His beliefs. ...Those he could not save. His heart was as fragile
as he was kind, and was unable to bear that weight.
#5: A reality seen for the first time by he who only chased after ideals.
A desolate world soiled by distortion. That is why he shed no tears.
#6: When he discovered the same distortion found in the world was within
himself, he willingly ventured into its abyss... And fell... Just as
the winged girl had guided him to...
#7: An incarnation of the nightmare he saw as a child... His past and
future fused together... And returned as a symbol of the distorted
world.
#8: The last spell that drove himself to the Baroque. But... He is re-
gretting it a little. ...Maybe he should have cried that one time.
- Johanna Kyon
#1: Neuro Tower... A distorted room... 2 girls.
#2: Miracle... Sealed power... And a small hope...
#3: The bottom of the Neuro Tower... An image of sisters lying down in a
closed room...
#4: ...They reached out in this room with no windows. Tiny hands that
wandered, cutting the empty air... A silently smiling winged girl
took their hands...
#5: Distortion came a little at a time. Not to them, but rather to the
world around them. To them... it must have felt like they had stum-
bled out of a dizzy spell.
#6: The sisters who were supposed to make a miracle happen... But con-
trary to their intentions, they had become a foreign entity that in-
duced Baroques...
#7: The great power that they couldn�t fully control had sped up the dis-
tortion of this world. Had they just held back...
#8: The two did not give up even at the very end. But, the effects from
that moderate dizzy spell enveloped them at some point... They dis-
appeared without a trace.
- Bullger
#1: Consciousness Orb... Small wings... ...Mutation.
#2: Vague sense of anxiety... Trust and... Suffering that could never be
told to anyone... The questioning words of a youth...
#3: Rejection... Twisted information that flowed directly into the brain.
#4: The sensation of having your very being rewritten... Without having
the time to feel fear.
#5: It seems her inability to throw away the tiny suspicion left inside
the bottom of her heart was what became the seed of her distortion...
#6: An unpredictable experiment... In the twisted vision, a body that
transforms as if it�s melting... Fading commotion... Black out.
#7: A Baroque that was cast off from the world, and eats away at all
things... This was the path she had chosen.
#8: Love in a flask that was defeated by distortion. But, if she had
believed then, there might have been a different ending.
- Aries
#1: Social status... The distortion of society... Violence.
#2: Resentment... A lost place of belonging... And... a social death.
#3: It took but a second to destroy what took him a lifetime to build.
His small happiness disappeared with a sound.
#4: Before long, the last day approached... He was probably unable to
accept that fact...
#5: When everything was wrapped in light, he took the hand that was ex-
tended to him. A girl... with big, white wings.
#6: He was forsaken by the world, and liberated. At least... within him-
self.
#7: He obtained a world he could control. And in it... There was neither
reason, nor irrationality, nor hope.
#8: Carrying his world, he tries to rebuild what he lost. But there is
no end to the suffering for this miniature garden�s ruler. It�s like
a moebius strip.
- Festum
#1: A pile of books... Secret experiment... ...A disorderly laboratory.
#2: Memories and the past... Concentration on the future...
#3: Heretic... Words that would never reach him. Even the shadows in
front of his eyes would go unseen by him...
#4: In his head, a great deal of knowledge stored during his long life
of research... Though now, it�s impossible for me to read. How un-
fortunate.
#5: Forbidden... knowledge. At the time, there was no way he would have
known that he was losing his outer shell in exchange for it.
#6: An extreme spirit of inquiry... It would become a delusion, ulti-
mately throwing his life off track. Behind his back, I can see wings
that are not his...
#7: Punishment by expulsion. Only worthless pieces of paper left to this
man who had now lost his place...
#8: Clockwork time that had slowly come to a stop. And then, he was re-
born. A silent machine that stored encoded knowledge...
- Nicl & Nicr
#1: Hope... Happiness... Young lovers.
#2: An ever-changing world and... An unchanging world...
#3: ...The couple's field of vision distorted in the same way. There is
no sense of fear there.
#4: A faintly wavering view... Though unnoticed, when it came time to
pledge their unchanging devotion, their eyes were... floating in air.
#5: Angel�s feathers and... a consciousness orb. Someone�s shadow flick-
ering on the outer world... What is this foreign atmosphere...
#6: Their own world was gradually starting to close up... The distortion
had eaten away at them both equally, but one day, a certain change
arrived...
#7: Their Baroque was completed by holding each other... And waiting
there for them... Was a gentle, quiet smile.
#8: Lovers that wished for eternity. In exchange for their human appear-
ance, they gained a thousand years of solitude... And thus their wish
was granted.
- Galgal-Tank-Joe
#1: A library... Obsession... ...A key.
#2: A personification of the Apocalypse... And the words of an angel...
#3: A step towards destruction... In front of the muzzle, I see the
figure of his motionless friend...
#4: A key... that was implanted in his brain. That seems to be the origin
of his Baroque.
#5: ...Just staying still. That was one of the chains this youth, afraid
of the key�s awakening, had imposed upon himself. To protect the
world from destruction.
#6: A winged girl... The sole existence that knows of the youth�s key...
But... The deep murmurs are not her voice...
#7: ...The Blaze that approached from behind him. The youth that was
swallowed amidst the confusion. Never even realizing that he was no
longer in his human form.
#8: Just as the end didn�t come to his world... The youth�s Baroque does
not know the end. Even now, the key to the Apocalypse is waiting for
the time of its awakening within him.
- Liar
#1: Passion... Loneliness.. Repressed feelings...
#2: A double-edged blade... I catch a glimpse of... a fragment of a lost
heart.
#3: Frustration... A degenerating, distorting whirl of emotions...
#4: She did not mean to cause pain... It was just that it was the only
way she knew...
#5: A cry that was misplaced... The only thing she could do was hurt her-
self... In front of her blurred view... a smiling, winged girl.
#6: She hated her emotions, herself... And as if to abandon who she
was... Her emotions and her body temperature had started to vanish.
#7: In the light of the Blaze, her insides and outsides had been
switched... Now she pointed those claws at someone other than herself
#8: A doll�s scratch left inside her heart... Humans are as fragile and
breakable as they are passionate. At times, it�s almost easier to
live if one is broken.
- Jerryrom
#1: Fireworks... Rocket... Bomb... An association he cannot quit.
#2: A child who is innocent, yet cruel... A dream that one can never wake
up from...
#3: To the youth, everything was mere fun and games... The concept of
living... And of dying, as well.
#4: He was just being amused... Wondering about the scattering fragments
and falling embers of the fireworks.
#5: An outside world shown through the television is what the youth
sees... For him, reality was something vague, something in the back-
ground that did not represent reality to him.
#6: Delusion that ate away at reality... The continuation of a dream that
spread as far as his eye can see was everything to the youth. He
never noticed the winged girl gazing at him...
#7: The border between reality and fantasy was a trivial thing to the
youth... Even now, I can almost hear innocent laughter coming from
within the crystal...
#8: In a world where reality and fantasy melded together, the youth met
the day of the Blaze... The racing carousel will not stop. Even now,
he continues to live in his delusions.
- Kato
#1: Discontentment... Stress... This never-ending mundane cycle is suf-
focating...
#2: Overtime... Complaints... Dozing off... Every day, a repetition of
this cycle.
#3: In the numerous windows... A wriggling group of grey...
#4: Monotonous days... The same old scenery, the same old lecture, every
day a repetition of the one before... An angel just passed, nothing
more than part of the landscape...
#5: The many fragments of consciousness scattered inside the crystal...
This is not just one person�s Baroque.
#6: The daily routines met their end through an unfortunate coincidence.
Every reason was rewritten, and had become distorted. They were no
exception.
#7: A small, bubble-like distortion... Born in all sorts of places, only
to burst and disappear... To pick one up was nothing more than a co-
incidence.
#8: The counterturning gears keep turning noisily... Indeed... it�s
endless...
- Soconpo
#1: Cheers... Expectations... ...A future with no end in sight.
#2: A clown's mask... And someone's true face...
#3: Time that cannot be stopped... Sceneries he ran through and the
things he left behind...
#4: I can see a dazzling figure on the stage... But, it seems not a
single person knew what his true face looked like.
#5: Even in dreams, he hears the distant applause and cheers... The out-
line of a winged girl who sits alone in the seats, burnt into the
back of his eyes, the image never leaving...
#6: A mask he used to meet others� expectations... That is how he had
lived all his life. Yet he doesn�t know when the face underneath his
mask disappeared.
#7: I wonder what he saw there when he glanced into the mirror. What re-
flected back in place of the thing he lost...?
#8: Before he realized it, his mask had become his true face. A Baroque
obtained by denying the future and stopping time. A mask of his true
face, called the Wandering Pierrot.
- Hungones
#1: Suffering... Hatred... A permanent scar...
#2: White wings... The power to protect God... And ideals... And reality.
#3: In the darkness... Fake wings were a glimmer of hope.
#4: White, imitation wings on his back and an entwining chain of flesh.
A dream of the sky seen while chained to the ground. It�s a conflict-
ing dilemma. They are fake wings after all...
#5: A suffering that was equal to the suffering before... No, perhaps
even greater... Soaking his small hands red, unable to take flight,
he fell through the sky...
#6: A Baroque that rejects death... Reflected in this unbreathing youth�s
vision... A winged girl... with red eyes.
#7: He�s slightly trembling, frightened even now, after he�s turned into
a crystal.
#8: Neverending agony... For him, his Baroque was not a soothing relief.
It was a spiraling hook meant as self-torment.
- Death
#1: A casket buried empty... A vessel that can never be filled... A
measuring rod of cold iron.
#2: An unmoving heart. Only there to erase distortion, quietly, like soft
breathing. Ah... I remember there were those who made that their job.
#3: Subconscious conflicts... Fragments of numerous consciousnesses...
#4: What's this strange feeling...? It seems there is nothing inside this
shell.
#5: A void that wasn�t supposed to contain anything... An envoy from the
unconsciousness filling up the crystal... a winged girl reaches out
her hand...
#6: Obliteration, annihilation, elimination. Eliminate. Eliminate. I
wonder if he saw his twisting figure when the world was engulfed
by the Blaze.
#7: On that day... He gained something the moment he lost something.
Though, whether he ever accepted that is a completely different
story.
#8: He is no longer anywhere. Only a hard vessel remains here. That is
the only thing he had left behind... A burial of the void is his
Baroque.
- Hana-nip
#1: A strict household... Freedom... Fellow members in a motorcycle gang.
#2: Discontent... Anxiety of departing and... anticipation.
#3: With no purpose or aspirations... Just empty days that pass by un-
eventfully...
#4: He left for a trip... in the pursuit of freedom. But... He was wel-
comed with a very deep, overwhelming freedom...
#5: Dawn that never breaks... In an obscure corner of the completely
quiet city, an angel�s feather lay on the floor...
#6: If he just disappeared, nobody would remember him. The world would
forget about him... A faint fear that clung to the bottom of his
heart...
#7: His existence as seen through the eyes of others... The lonely town
and others had caused him to distort...
#8: A prisoner in a thunderous ring... Though... to be honest, he just
wanted to go home. A gauche fellow... indeed.
- Gliro
#1: A large house... Alone in a room... An impulsive inclination to
steal.
#2: Lost vision and... A Consciousness Orb implanted into the fundus
oculi.
#3: An eye that can see things that cannot be seen... The world he saw
was different from others...
#4: It wasn't that the youth was poor. It's just that... He couldn't
resist the urge... There is no sense of malice present.
#5: A divergence of the borders of things... It can be assumed that the
foundation of this youth�s Baroque lies here...
#6: A single image is left inside the crystal... It�s hazy, but it seems
to be a winged girl. What is this odd feeling that lingers about her?
#7: This youth... He touched something he was not meant to. Angel feath-
ers disappearing as if it were but an illusion... A swirl of infor-
mation took his consciousness...
#8: A prism collector that had reached for the distortion. Nothing had
changed for him. He does not realize that he is no longer in his
human form. Even now... and forever more.
- Bubugel
#1: Pictures... Mirrors... A slightly misaligned world...
#2: Time that had been cut away... A mirror that reflects reality...
#3: The world seen through a lens... He simply looked at the world he was
looking at.
#4: A white feather that got mixed into the heap of photos... Yet, he had
never noticed its existence...
#5: A photograph that doesn�t project reality... It was right around this
time when the disaster started to occur to him.
#6: Before he realized, he had disappeared from his world. Even mirrors
couldn't reflect his image...
#7: Carelessly strewn photos... Reflected in them are unchanged scener-
ies. That was because it was his Baroque.
#8: Too obsessed with the outside world to see himself. There is no way
he can see himself in his own viewfinder.
- Seventeen
#1: Unstable emotions... Tears... ...Awkward words...
#2: A soul that's happily astir... but at the same time, somewhat cool.
#3: I see an image of a girl, running hard, as if she was trying to run
from something, as if to wipe away the tears.
#4: A heart that couldn�t quite become an adult, and her eagerness to
become an adult. From this imbalance, she had claimed her Baroque.
#5: In front of her gaze, the view of a girl from the back... and on her
back are... wings. I feel uneasy...
#6: Where was she going to go, with nothing more than the nice words
given her? Though it seems anywhere was fine as long as she could
keep on running.
#7: A heart that obediently accepted distortion... huh. It seems there�s
no change to her persona even now after she�s turned into a crystal.
#8: You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it... A
childish dream of chasing after something unreachable. The infinite
blue sky spreading far above her head.
- Moon
#1: ...Light... Murmured prayer... ...People looking for salvation.
#2: Anticipation... Premonition... Dizziness... Words that pour forth
without one knowing...
#3: A lone girl surrounded by believers... The embodiment of a miracle...
#4: Strange patterns that appear on the palms. Stigmata. A Baroque of
stigma... ...It�s a fairly common story.
#5: A tongue that spoke of miracles, growing more vivid as days went
past. The people were convinced that the time had come. She was the
only one that knew of her truth.
#6: Her own words, unreachable to her, drowned out by fanatic voices...
A single figure, a winged girl gazing at her... With cold eyes that
seemed to see through all...
#7: Words have left the girl, and even her sighs were now viewed as pro-
phetic.
#8: She listened to the fading prayer as she dove deeper into the dark
waters... The mermaid�s truth would never be spoken again.
- Sun
#1: A strong sense of dread... This crystal is full of an abnormal sense
of fear...
#2: A peaceful life... An encroaching Baroque... And a friend's death.
#3: A shut room... An image of a single, crouching youth...
#4: The tumultuousness of the outer world and... a chaotic mind. It seems
he could find no peace in the distorted world.
#5: The youth... sought refuge. He protected himself by running from
those who tried to hurt him, and hurting them when needed.
#6: His fear of distorting was what would cause him to adversely dis-
tort... A voice that seemed to resound directly in his head... An
angelic girl spoke to him...
#7: To escape the Baroques� terror, he himself should become a Baroque.
...That is the conclusion the youth reached.
#8: A youth that wished for a gentle world... A wire nest protects him.
- Sin-Monis
#1: Dependence... A sense of loss... Times past.
#2: Colorful memories... Monochromatic future...
#3: A vivid, red solitary afterimage is left at the bottom of the cry-
stal... That is where her time stopped.
#4: Her former appearance, captured by her past... As if to reflect hap-
pier memories... Though this can happen to anyone, even if it is only
within their mind.
#5: An attachment to the past and hatred toward her own life... Incompat-
ible thoughts. A lone girl liberated this twisting being... On her
back were... huge wings.
#6: A body that had slowly started to lose its shape... What she gained
in exchange for time was not at all what she had wished for.
#7: She was afraid of losing her precious memories... Of losing her
thoughts that they were engraved in... But it was too late.
#8: Even now, many colorless sceneries are reflected in this crystal...
A Baroque that�s like a broken clock.
- Or-huganous
#1: ...This is an extremely quiet crystal. I cannot tell if it�s satis-
fied... or if it�s just docile. Perhaps there is nothing inside.
#2: This crystal is... missing something important... What can this mean?
#3: A girl... Pure white wings... Surrounding her, an odd distortion...
#4: I feel someone looking at me... Even at this very moment, it feels as
if someone is watching... What is this odd sensation?
#5: A winged girl and... A completely separate entity that lurks in her
shadow... But I cannot read what it�s supposed to signify.
#6: As I look at this crystal... The Baroques start to stir, almost like
a feeling of uneasiness. Perhaps this was where it all started...
That�s what I feel.
#7: A single clue left within this crystal... But the more you follow it,
the more intense the noise becomes... I cannot see what lies beyond
the noise. What could be there?
#8: A bird cage, containing the world, its master absent... What does
that hollow shape, neither god nor human, signify...?
- Cocteauhead
#1: Silence... A soft, warm green... A glass greenhouse.
#2: An inverted world... A string that ties the two together...
#3: Knowledge called ignorance... In some sense, he was innocent, in an-
other sense, he was foolish.
#4: He became distorted without knowing about the outer world... Just...
silently, without any fear or doubts.
#5: A Baroque that cannot be tied down by anyone... Wrapped comfortably
in his world there was just one... foreign entity.
#6: From beyond the tightly shut door, I hear a voice calling him... Past
the gaze, with its back to the door... A shadow of a winged being
flickered and disappeared...
#7: At one point... his insides and his outsides reversed. Caging up the
disorderly world overflowing with useless information... He had dis-
appeared into his delusion.
#8: He had turned into a citizen of paradise, a secret distortion... But,
a story that hasn�t been recorded is the same as one that never ex-
isted... Although that may have been his wish...
- Glue
#1: Oh, this is quite an unusual Baroque... These aren�t the words of a
single entity... It seems to be the Baroque of a collective. I sup-
pose since you�ve brought it, I should read it for you. My boss won�t
shut up and my subordinates are useless... What the hell do you want
me to do?
#2: Overtime yesterday, today and tomorrow, expected to report to work on
the weekends. My future is looking pretty bleak...
#3: Now management is complaining that I�m not training the new employees
enough. But when I focused on that, my work fell behind, and I was
reprimanded for that! What am I supposed to do?
#4: I can't tolerate the stupidity at this workplace anymore! Give me
back my youth!
#5: If I have to see the sunrise from my cubicle again, I'm going to kill
myself...
#6: Please give me a bonus... It's not like I get paid a real salary...
#7: Please give me a day off...
#8: I�ve had it! Today, for sure, I�m going to slap the shiny head of our
penny-pinching manager! I�ll send his glasses flying! I�ve been
dreaming about it for three years...
#9: Yesterday, I covered for my subordinates. Today, I sucked up to the
general manager. I get paid just to do this... Well, it makes things
a little easier to take if I think about it that way... If anything,
I would think that made things seem rather empty...
#10: �Get this done by tomorrow!�... Sure, it�s easy to say but... There�s
no way in hell that�s possible! So this must be one of the problems
of middle management...
#11: Can you do this and that and that for me? *sigh*... Since when have I
become the manager�s ghost...
#12: I saw it... My manager had dozed off and was drooling while he slept
yesterday...
#13: My subordinates� mistakes are my mistakes, and my mistakes are also
my mistakes. I understand that, of course. But... Why is it that my
manager�s mistakes are also my mistakes...?
#14: Poor me... I got reprimanded by my boss again today. Come on guys,
just keep up with me �til morning!
#15: I�d quit this worthless job in a heartbeat, but my salary�s so low,
I don�t have any money saved up... Did I end up a loser in life?
#16: I�m the first in the door, and I�m the last to leave... I�m a go-
getter, but... Nobody seems to appreciate my efforts...
#17: Not a single thing�s gone smoothly since that manager�s been here.
All he does is get paid a ton, that corporate parasite!
#18: This crystal again...? Meetings, meetings, meetings... Nothing ever
gets decided, we just meet again tomorrow. These things are killing
productivity...
#19: I'm going to speak my mind... But not in front of the manager!
#20: I can see the future... A future where us underlings die from being
overworked...
#21: I can see the future... A future where us underlings get a pay cut...
#22: I can see the future... A future where our penny-pinching manager
gets a raise... Damn it...
#23: Don�t you hate rainy days? Just drizzling or pouring rain... The
water makes getting to work a pain.
#24: Cloudy days are like dim and kinda melancholic. I wonder how you say
�melancholic� in German?
#25: Aren�t windy days bothersome? You can�t get anything done because you
just keep wishing everything would get blown away.
#26: You know, on snowy days, don�t you just want to stay inside, curled
up by the heater because it�s so cold?
#27: Aren't sunny days-- and et cetera.
#28: Aren't sunny days great? You like, totally feel like you can work all
energetically and whatever.
- Manas
#1: Strength flowing in... Indifference... Only the sound of a scribbling
pen breaks the silence.
#2: Something that isn't meant to be there... Something that cannot be
seen...
#3: An unnaturally controlled isolated void, where they do not even know
each others' names...
#4: Many hours spent inside the tiny miniature garden... Not a single
person stops there.
#5: They are unaware of each other, and yet they all have the same ex-
pression. They simply fulfill the duties given to them.
#6: It�s as if the others didn�t exist... Complete indifference. Perhaps
they are not interested in themselves as well.
#7: Stopped time... A long blank. An entity that couldn�t fully become a
Meta-Being... Is this information that flowed from the dead...?
#8: ...A dreadfully quiet labyrinth of mirrors. But even if there doesn�t
seem to be anything wrong, there is something about it that�s twisted
somewhere.
- Perisomata
#1: Crossroads... A repetition of red, yellow and green... A capricious
heart.
#2: A weak relationship... A vague borderline...
#3: A shadow of a girl left behind in an uninhabited town...
#4: Transforming residents... Yet, the apathetic girl dispassionately
walks about the night town once again...
#5: A vision seen sometime... Some place. Things were secretly altered
over time. Before she noticed, it was entirely different.
#6: A girl with wings is looking this way... But whether I can look at
this girl is... No, I am unable to perceive it well...
#7: Fragments of consciousness of the town�s residents... Seen in the
background, a view that had once been shut... A cold town that had
lost its colors.
#8: A stranded girl who disappeared... Her stolen shadow never to return.
Or perhaps... Everything is her Baroque...?
- Maleficia
#1: Increasing entropy... Catastrophe... Feelings left behind.
#2: A gathering of countless numbers... Information scattered about the
world...
#3: Fine fragments of distortion, that's what we can call it. Each in-
dividual's consciousness and existence have been long lost.
#4: To think that information this fragmented could actually attain one
form... Well, with the world in its current state...
#5: This crystal does not have a definite shape... It reflects the image
of its viewer.
#6: A collective mass of the residual thoughts of those dying... I sup-

more than a small fluctuation.
#7: They were born within the Blaze. Under normal circumstances, they are
an existence that would have been erased... But they obtained a form
and appeared.

have fallen within that gap.
#6: ...A soul that had the gift to guide people, but couldn�t resist

#8: A distortion that will not disappear, even if the flesh has per-

Baroque of chiming bells blesses that future�s demise.

VI. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [FAQ]
-------------------------------
=============================================================================
----------------------
| Gameplay Questions |
----------------------
Q: What is the difference between the four levels of difficulty?
A: The difficulty levels are based on attack damage. On Easy, your attack
damage is multiplied by 1.5, while damage you take from all sources is
halved. On both Normal and Hard, your attack damage is as normal. However,
on Hard, damage taken is multiplied by 1.5. Very Hard is the opposite of
Easy... the damage you take is multiplied by 1.5 and the damage you deal
is halved.
Q: At what point do HP and VT max out?
A: Both max out at 999. Boosting these throughout your Tower runs is a good
idea, especially on the -3000 and -3900 phases. It is imperative in the
Bonus Dungeons, where the Meta-Beings' advanced forms are much more diffi-
cult than what you're accustomed to in the Tower. Remember that most bones
and fluids are an easy way to give you 10 HP and 10 VT, so do not be shy
about using them max out your stats before eating flesh or hearts. It is
also helpful to fuse an Ache Parasite to you or your equipped coat so you
can eat rotten items at will.
Q: Does your level actually matter as you progress through the Neuro Tower or
Bonus Dungeons?
A: Absolutely yes. According to the Japanese guidebook, beyond the standard
ATK and DEF stats that are seen on the inventory screen and can be mani-
pulated by items, there are also hidden ATK/DEF levels which increase as
you level up. You will deal more damage and take less damage the higher
your level is. Also, your MAX HP will increase by a random amount (2-8)
every time you level up.
Q: What is the highest level I can advance to?
A: You stop leveling up at Lv99, which is 985,047 EXP.
Q: Is there a max to attack/defense power for leveling up swords/coats?
A: Yes, swords and coats max out when they reach +99, which also applies to
the evolution of the Vampire Sword. If you try to use an Attack, Defense,
or AD Fluid on a maxed out sword or coat, you will simply receive a "No
effect" message.
Q: Do the Meta-Beings respawn?
A: Yes, although some seem to do this at a much faster rate than others. In
my opinion, Bullger, Death and Cocteauhead seem to be a few of the most
rapidly respawning Meta-Beings.
Q: How do I alternate between the "normal" and "alternate" selves?
A: Each time you fuse with the Absolute God, you will alternate selves. This
alternating stops once you give the Protagonist's Idea Sephirah to Eliza
on -1500. Note: If you are the alternate self when you do this, you will
switch back to the normal self the next time you fuse, then it will cease.
Q: How do I know which version of myself I am?
A: Look at your stats when you begin a new "life" in the Outer World. The
normal version starts with 99 HP and VT, and an ATK of 16 and DEF of 12.
The alternate version starts with 100/98 and 17/11.
Q: What does the switch on level -300 do?
A: This switch turns the heat in the Neuro Tower on or off, which determines
whether you encounter the frozen or thawed versions of certain levels (see
the Walkthrough). You can read the setting of the switch based on whether
the heat coils on this floor are hot. This setting is carried over from
one Tower run to the next and the room with the heat switch may not appear
during every Tower run.
Q: What is the difference between the frozen and thawed levels?
A: The Meta-Beings you will encounter are different. Two of these, Bubugel
and Hungones, are ONLY encountered in some of the "thawed" versions. Also,
all flesh and hearts found on thawed levels will be rotten.
Q: What about the switch on level -1000? Is this also a heat switch?
A: No. Contrary to popular belief, the switch on -1000 is NOT a heat switch.
It is a drainage switch that affects four other levels, causing them to be
"flooded" or "drained". If the switch is up, those levels are flooded, and
if it is down they're drained. Like the heat switch, it does not appear on
every Tower run and the setting is retained on future trips.
Q: What is the difference between the flooded and drained levels?
A: Unlike the frozen/thawed levels, where every floor has different Meta-
Beings based on the setting, the differences here change from level to
level. See the Walkthrough for details.
Q: How exactly do Consciousness Orbs work?
A: These are used to send items from the Neuro Tower back to the Outer World.
Anything you send back through a Consciousness Orb will be stored with the
Collector. Each Consciousness Orb can be used one time per Tower run. Re-
member that the Collector has a limited inventory, which you can monitor
via the "Bag" stat in the game data when you save between floors. Also re-
member that you can not send the Angelic Rifle back to the Outer World.
Q: How do I catch the items the Mind Reader spews out?
A: These bones and disks will fly out in all different directions and there
is no particular place to stand to catch them. The best method to use is
to just run around the Mind Reader in a tight circle after giving her an
item. You will normally catch 2-3 items each time doing this.
Q: Is there any way to get equipment into the Defenseless Dungeon, or am I
really going to have to tough it out bare-handed?
A: Yes there is, but it will require some time and patience. The key is the
Hungry Box. You will want to store a few of them with the Collector, and
this is the easiest way to do so.
Acquire a Toy Box. Descend to -2200 in the Tower (be sure to save at the
end of -2100). Stand in front of the Consciousness Orb here and open the
Toy Box until it breaks. If you don't get a Hungry Box, reload until you
do. You are safe from the Hungry Box eating an item as long as you're on
the menu screen. Once one appears, use the "Throw" command to toss it into
the Consciousness Orb.
You need Addition Boxes stored with the Collector (see section III.5 for
tips on Item Farming). Take an Addition Box and the Hungry Box from him,
in that order. Open the Addition Box and you will now have two Hungry
Boxes. Use the "Give" command in the inventory screen to give one of them
to the Collector so there is nothing left for the other to eat. Give the
second box to the Collector. Repeat this process until you have one box
for each piece of equipment you plan to take. It will also be a great help
if you can store a few Disrm Parasites as well (see below).
Now go to the Neuro Tower and die on the first level so you can save. Talk
to the Collector and ONE AT A TIME take from him a Hungry Box and a piece
of equipment. If you take them all at once you risk a Hungry Box eating
another Hungry Box. After the piece of equipment is eaten, place the box
on the ground, and repeat this process until all the equipment is safely
stored. Pick all the boxes up and you're ready to try the Defenseless Dun-
geon. Enter and open all the boxes. A Hungry Box has a roughly 60% chance
of exploding after eating an item, which is why I recommended having a few
Disrm Parasites. If you fuse them to the boxes, they can not explode and
you are guaranteed to retrieve your equipment the first time. If any of
the boxes do explode, die/quit, reload, and try again. I did say this will
require time and patience! Hope that helps.
---------------------------------
| Storyline/Character Questions |
---------------------------------
Q: I can't get the Sentry Angel to kill me so I can view the "Consciousness
Simulation End - -" cutscene. What am I doing wrong?
A: The Sentry Angel will only kill you during the opening part of the game,
before you attempt the Consciousness Simulation (the -400 phase run). Hit
him 100 times (just repeatedly attack for about a minute) and he will take
care of you.
Q: How many times will the Phantom Brother appear on -100?
A: This is a tricky question... I only recently discovered that the Phantom
Brother actually has quite a few different things he will appear and say
over time. If you want to view them all, keep attempting the Neuro Tower
BEFORE retrieving the Protagonist's Idea Sephirah crystal until he stops
appearing. It is also possible that there are certain scenes with him that
you can only receive as the alternate self. Once you get the Protagonist's
Idea Sephirah from the Research Lab, it will trigger him to appear again,
but only once.
Q: What causes Urim and Thummin's to fuse into the wall and for their chamber
on -300 to distort?
A: This is the only element of the game for which I absolutely can not come
up with an answer. Due to the fact that the Japanese guidebook does not
address this at all and that it does not happen consistently from game to
game, myself and several others have come to the conclusion that the pro-
cess is likely random. I've seen it occur as early as +20 and on the -2200
phase of the Neuro Tower, and I've also seen it not occur until long after
completing the -3900 phase.
Q: How do I make Longneck bury himself?
A: There are two ways to induce Longneck to plant himself in the ground. You
can show him the Cultivating Fluid found on level -1200 in the chamber of
Doctor Angelicus and her Consciousness Orb, or fuse with the Absolute God.
It generally requires a couple Tower runs and the purification of at least
a few Koriel members before it is possible to get Longneck buried.
Q: Which NPCs are able to be purified, and how do I do it?
A: First off, Longneck, Horned Girl, Bagged One and Boxbearer are the only
NPCs who can be purified. Here is how to purify each of them:
1. Longneck: Once Longneck has buried himself, you can give him a Heart
Seed and he'll die on his own, or you can hit him to purify him and
get his Idea Sephirah. This is necessary to advance the story.
2. Horned Girl: Show her Longneck's Idea Sephirah. The next time you re-
turn to the Outer World (either by completing the Tower or dying),
she will have buried herself. Now attack her to purify her. If you
want to collect all her Voice List entries, wait until after you have
completed Step 10 in section II.3.
3. Bagged One: Bagged One becomes purifiable after you have talked to
Boxbearer four times on -700. You will know you can purify her when
she says "To my father, who was strangling me..." when you talk with
her. Attack her to purify her. Bagged One will also bury herself if
you show her Longneck's crystal, but you won't be able to purify her
this way until speaking with Boxbearer enough times.
4. Boxbearer: Once Boxbearer tells you about having a dream in which his
daughter is being strangled, you can also purify him. Attack him to
break his box, then attack him again to purify him. Alternatively,
you can give him another box and he will be back to his old self.
Note: NPCs can only be purifed with physical attacks. The Angelic Rifle
has no effect on them.
Q: I accidentally took Longneck's Idea Sephirah crystal into the Neuro Tower
with me instead of giving it to the Sentry Angel. Do I need to start over?
A: No, that is not necessary. The Idea Sephirah crystals of the Outer World
NPCs who can be purified will appear every time you return to the Outer
World, so you have an unlimited supply of their crystals for the Baroque-
monger, for using in achieving the "Wasted Core" Baroque or fusing with
the Crystal Sword.
Q: I tried to go back to the Research Lab to get the Your crystal again but
nothing happens. Why?
A: After you have given the Protagonist's Idea Sephirah to Eliza on -1500,
you can no longer enter the Research Lab. If you're trying to complete
the Character List and have not received all 8 messages from this crystal
yet, you will have to wait until you have started a new game.
Q: How do I trigger the "Confession of Sin" cutscene?
A: There are two requirements for this. First, you must have obtained the
Protagonist's Idea Sephirah from the Research Lab (it does not have to be
in your inventory). Second, you must not fire the Angelic Rifle on your
current Tower run. This cutscene can be viewed either before or after you
give the Protagonist's Idea Sephirah to Eliza.
Q: I've seen "Confession of Sin", but the Cultivation Chamber on level -2000
still won't open. Why?
A: Along with viewing "Confession of Sin", there are two other criteria that
must be met before the Littles will grant you access to the Cultivation
Chamber. First, you must have given an unused Angelic Rifle to Doctor An-
gelicus on -1200 at least one time (having done this on a previous run
will satisfy this requirement). Second, you must not have fired the An-
gelic Rifle on your current Tower run.
Q: What cues the Neophyte to start moving around the Neuro Tower?
A: The Neophyte will begin his ascent up the Tower after you have viewed the
"Confession of Sin" cutscene and talked to him on -2000 enough for him to
tell you he plans to find and catch Doctor Angelicus.
Q: When does Alice appear on -3100?
A: She does not. Yes, the background music does change to her theme music in
the room with the green Consciousness Orb (flooded version only), but this
is likely a by-product of the developers copying the programming code from
the Consciousness Orb room on -2800. You will never find Alice on -3100.
Q: Are there any scenes from the storyline that can not be revisited in the
Event List in the Database?
A: The only scenes you can not see from the Database are the brief meetings
the Protagonist has with his "Phantom Brother" on -200.
Q: On my last Tower run, I defeated Manas on -2700 to bring back the Absolute
God. I fused with her at the end of the run, and on my next one Eliza had
returned to -200 when she wasn't supposed to be there yet. What happened?
A: This happened to me the first time I played through the game and reached
this point. However, it has not happened since in several separate games.
Based on information from the guidebook about the process to bring back
the Absolute God, Eliza, Alice and the Littles, I have come to the con-
clusion that this was caused by a glitch. From what I can recall from
that game and others, I suspect it is linked either to completing several
Tower runs without finding and defeating Manas after receiving Voice #205
from the Archangel, or having conquered a Bonus Dungeon (Hell?) on the
same life in which you fuse with the Absolute God for the first time after
bringing her back. No one knows for certain.
------------------
| Item Questions |
------------------
Q: How many items can be found on a particular level?
A: The 0 cubits first level will have 3 items, and the number of items that
appear on subsequent levels slowly increases as you go down. This number
maxes out at 10 in the lower levels of both the Neuro Tower and the Bonus
Dungeons.
Q: What are all the ways to cook flesh and hearts?
A: Here is a list of proven methods:
1. Give them to the Cursebringer Angel.
2. Place them on a fire grate ("Mysterious Forming" levels).
3. Use a fire-based Disk or Torturer when they're on the ground within
that item's range of effect.
4. Eat a Boom Bone to cook all flesh or hearts on hand.
Q: I've equipped an item, why can't I remove it?
A: Either you have equipped the Stubborn Coat or Wings, or the item is marked
with a Glue Brand. To remove a Stubborn item, you will have to fuse a Wing
Parasite to it (you lose the item if you do this). You can also do this to
an item marked with a Glue Brand, or you can use an Unbrand to get rid of
the Glue Brand while retaining the item in your inventory.
Q: How can I remove a parasite from myself or my equipment if I find a better
one?
A: This is easy. Simply fuse the new parasite with yourself or with the piece
of equipment you want to enhance, automatically killing the one that was
already in place. You will receive a Dead Parasite in your inventory in
place of the new parasite you just used. This is also an easy way to fill
in the Dead Parasite in the Item List, as they're not found very often in
the Neuro Tower.
Q: Why can't I brand one of my items?
A: That item already has a brand on it. It may be a Glue Brand if it is an
equippable item you've recently picked up. Also, keep in mind that items
which you marked with a Me Brand on your previous Tower run will begin
the next run with a depleted No Brand on them, which must be removed with
an Unbrand before you can mark them again.
Q: After marking an item with a Me Brand, can I discard it to free up space
in my inventory?
A: No. In order to appear on your next run, an item marked with a Me Brand
must be in your possession when you complete the Tower or die.
Q: I marked an item with a Me Brand, but it isn't on the first level of the
Tower. What happened to it?
A: Remember: Items you have marked with a Me Brand will only appear on the 0
cubits floor on your NEXT LIFE. You will lose the item if you die in the
Outer World or in one of the Coffin Man's dungeons before returning to the
Neuro Tower.
Q: There are some disks that cannot be picked up even when lying face down.
How do I get them to record them in the Item List?
A: There are nine disks that can not be picked up from the floor of the Neuro
Tower because their "reverse" side also has a function. These disks are:
Recovery, Rot, Storm, Rust, Food, Drop, Vaporize, Flip and HPVT. There are
multiple ways to obtain these disks.
1. Give an item to the Mind Reader. She will spew out random bones and
disks in all directions. This can be a tedious process, but you can
acquire all of these disks in this manner.
2. When you complete a Bonus Dungeon, Coffin Man will give you an item
that you have not yet recorded in the Item List.
3. All of these disks can be obtained from at least one item box (see
section III.3).
Q: How exactly does the Toy Box work?
A: The Toy Box can contain any item in the game, excluding those mentioned in
section III.3. The Toy Box can be opened a maximum of 12 separate times
for 12 items, and there is a chance it will break each time it is opened.
It will always break on the 12th opening. According to the Japanese guide-
book, the odds are roughly 35% that a Toy Box will break after each use.
However, in my own experience with the International version of the game,
I believe those odds are somewhat lower.
Note that there are some qualifiers in terms of items received from a Toy
Box. On any given floor, you can only receive items that can be found on
that particular floor. The Outer World is considered the same as a level
between 0 and -400, which excludes a large number of items because many of
the more powerful or uncommon items can't be found on these early floors.
Also, all parasites and disks have a 0% spawn rate on those levels. In
general, it is best to wait to use a Toy Box until -2200 and beyond.
Q: Why doesn't a Split Brand give me an identical Coat/Sword to what I have?
A: The Split Brand spawns a default version of any item it "splits". Pieces
of equipment appear with their base values, with no brands or parasites
attached. Also, if the Split Brand replicates bones in your inventory, you
will receive a typical number of bones (2-4) rather than however many you
have. Also, items spawned by the Split Brand are not always identified.
Q: So is there any way to actually duplicate an item in my inventory?
A: Yes, with an Addition Box. When you find one, toss the item you want to
duplicate to the ground, pick it up, then open the box. It will contain
an identical item to what you picked up, or an equal number of bones.
Q: I've finished several levels of the Neuro Tower using the Vampire Sword,
but it isn't gaining strength. Am I doing something wrong?
A: Be patient early on when using the Vampire Sword, as its evolution process
is somewhat random. On my first Tower run using it, it did not evolve for
the first time until I was on level -1000. By level -1400, it had evolved
5 more times to ATK +8. Give it time. Due to the ease and rapid nature of
its evolution, and also the lack of AD Fluids in the Neuro Tower, a beefed
up Vampire Sword fused with good Parasites is arguably the best weapon to
use in conquering the Tower itself and should be at +99 after two Tower
runs on the -3900 phase.
Q: What exactly does the Cannibal (Canbl) Parasite do?
A: The extremely rare Canbl Parasite is an odd animal. You can't fuse it with
yourself, or to any of your items except for another parasite. Reading the
item description will tell you that it eats other parasites to grow and
become stronger. Each time you feed it a new parasite, you will receive a
message that reads "Cannibal Parasite +XX" with XX being the total number
of parasites it has eaten. Once it has consumed 11 of them, you will re-
ceive a message stating that Canbl has grown into a "Guardian Parasite",
which is a composite ATK/DEF parasite that gives you more than the stan-
dard +1 ATK and +1 DEF boost you get from fusing two of these Parasites
together. The Guardian Parasite will either give you +2/+9 (75% chance) or
+1/+10 (25% chance).
Q: Can I keep my boosted equipment for future games?
A: Yes. Store any items or equipment you want to carry over to your new game
with the Collector. You will be able to retrieve them from him AFTER the
Consciousness Simulation. Remember, you can't access his inventory until
after that, so don't panic when you can't immediately get an item from him
at the beginning of a new game.
Q: What are the rarest items in the game?
A: Here is a list of the ten rarest items in the Neuro Tower. I have excluded
disks since some of the harder ones to find can not be picked up off the
floor anyway. The majority of these items can not be found before -2200,
and all have a less than 1% chance of appearing on any given level.
1. Canbl Parasite
2. Special Wings
3. Vampire Sword
4. Moldy Fluid
5. Invigorating Fluid
6. Growth Sword
- Note: This item can be obtained by giving Urim and Thummin a piece
of flesh or heart on several consecutive Tower runs
7. Twisted Coat
8. Cat Torturer
- Note: This is the secondary drop of the advanced versions of Coc-
teauhead found in the Bonus Dungeons
9. Paralysis Bones
10. Recovery DX Fluid
- Note: This can be obtained from Doctor Angelicus in exchange for an
unused Angelic Rifle after viewing "Confession of Sin" and until
purifying the Littles
----------------------
| Database Questions |
----------------------
Q: Is it possible to complete the Database in one game?
A: No. It is 100% impossible to complete either the Event List or Voice List
in a single game, based on entries that require conflicting criteria.
Q: Is anything in the database permanently "missable"?
A: The answer is a conditional "No". If you've read around on the internet,
you may have heard this concern voiced on various message boards. This is
an infamous issue from the original PSX/Saturn version of the game, where
a voice from the Collector was very easy to miss based on filling up the
Item List too quickly (see section V.3c). That entry is not a Voice List
entry in the PS2/Wii remake. There are many Database items that can be
missed in a single game, but anything and everything can be obtained by
starting a new game with the Database intact.
* NOTE: The answer to this question is conditional because of a firmware
problem with certain PS2 units that makes it impossible to achieve the
"Useless" Baroque. See section V.4a for more information.
Q: I fulfilled the requirements for a Voice List entry, but the character did
not say it. What did I do wrong?
A: As I mentioned at the very beginning of section V.3a, be sure to exhaust
ALL dialogue with NPCs every time you talk to them. There are a number of
Voice List entries that may not be the first thing the character says when
you approach them, even if you did fulfill the criteria to get the voice.
Also, did you miss the time window for the voice? Go back and re-read the
description. Some voices, especially the Elusive Voices, have a specific
window in which you can get them. Make sure that you aren't too early, or
that you haven't already done something else that has caused the game to
progress past the stage where the voice can be obtained.
Q: Does damage taken from Meta-Beings stepping on Disks or from environmental
hazards count toward the "Unstoppable" Baroque?
A: No. All 5,000 points of damage must come from Meta-Being attacks.
Q: What are the Deadly Meta-Beings?
A: Manas, Perisomata, Maleficia and Tabula Smaragdina are the four toughest
enemies in the game. You will only encounter each one a single time in the
Neuro Tower, which comes in the Post -3900 phase (see section II.2f for
details). However, these enemies and their extremely deadly advanced forms
appear regularly in the Bonus Dungeons.
Q: How are the rankings determined?
A: If you intend to complete the Database, it is important to understand how
the Ranking system works. This knowledge will make it much easier for you
to get the "Perfectionist" Baroque. The Ranking section of the Database
essentially scores and stores your 50 best runs through the Neuro Tower.
This is how scoring breaks down:
1. EXP: The more EXP points you earn, the higher your ranking. In the
case of multiple Tower runs with the same amount of EXP earned (un-
likely unless you achieved Lv 99), the following tie-breaking system
is implemented:
2. Status: The first tie-breaker... did you clear the Neuro Tower or
did you die during the run? Cleared runs are valued higher.
3. Time: The second, final tie-breaker... the Tower run that took the
least amount of time to complete is scored the highest.
Q: I screwed up and completed a Bonus Dungeon before getting Perfectionist,
and now my top-ranking Tower run is at Lv 99. What can I do?
A: All is not lost, but be prepared to put in some work. After beating the
Bonus Dungeon, did you complete the Tower or die? If you died, getting
Perfectionist will be less complicated as you just need to reach Lv 99 and
complete the run. If you did complete the Tower, you will have to reach
Lv 99 *AND* beat the clear time. Write down that clear time (hopefully no
no less than 3-4 hours). Now you need to acquire the following things: a
Split Brand, Experience Wings, a beefed up Coat, at least 50-60 Experience
Bones, and approximately 20 Evolution Fluids (see section III.5).
Equip the Experience Wings, eat an Experience Bone, and kill Moons in the
Outer World. You should be able to reach Lv 6 or 7 easily, consuming 2-3
bones. After killing the Moons on each side of the map, wait 30 seconds or
so, then return and kill them again. Next, mark yourself with the Split
Brand. You need the wings, bones, coat, and an open space for the brand to
(hopefully) create a new Evolution Fluid when you enter the Tower. If you
plan to take a sword (not recommended), take 15 fluids. If not, take 16.
Use the leftover fluids in the Outer World. You should be at no less than
Lv 10 when you enter the Tower.
The rest is simple... kill everything, regularly using the bones to maxi-
mize EXP. I recommend doing this run unarmed to ensure you avoid Special
Hunter. Do not use fluids recklessly. You want to have one open slot in
your inventory each time you go down a level so the Split Brand can create
another fluid. Always save between levels, and if one of your other items
is split, quit and reload. DO NOT use a fluid after starting a level, in-
stead wait until right after leveling up. Evolution Fluids raise your EXP
to the exact amount required to level up, so if you have already gained
half the EXP required for the next level when you begin a floor, you will
waste EXP by using a fluid. Once you reach Lv 83 or 84, use the remaining\
fluids to boost yourself to Lv 99 and then proceed to -99999.
Also, remember to keep track of your time. Time each floor and make sure
you're on track not to go over the clear time from the top-ranking Tower
run. Good luck!
Q: Is it true that some Baroques were changed from the Japanese version?
A: Yes, in a sense. In the International port, several Baroques are easier to
achieve due to much more reasonable requirements. Here is a list:
- Unstoppable: The required amount of damage taken was reduced from
10,000 (!!!) to 5,000
- Appraiser: Required amount of items identified reduced from 100 to 50
- Deadly Meta-Beings: In the Japanese version, you must defeat Manas,
Perisomata, Tabula Smaragdina and Maleficia in the Neuro Tower while
playing on Hard or Very Hard mode. The International Version has no
difficulty requirement.
- Shadow Boxer: Number of required slashes reduced from 500 (!!!) to 100
- Cursebringing: Number of times combining items reduced from 100 to 30
- Serial Thrower: The number of times you are required to throw an item
was reduced from 1000 to 100. I personally wish they had kept this
one the way it was. Serial Thrower is a frequent offender when it
comes to interfering with achieving other Baroques.
- Cat Lover: Number of uses of the Cat Torturer reduced from 10 to 6
--------------------------------------
| General Questions about this Guide |
--------------------------------------
Q: What are your favorite equipment and combos?
A: I have two specific equipment sets which I believe are the best. For the
Neuro Tower:
- Vampire Sword fused with Fire/Elec or Fire/Ice parasites
Twisted Coat fused with Conf/Ache
Stamina or Lucky Wings
I choose the Vampire Sword for the Neuro Tower because it will evolve on
its own to the maximum attack power, and Attack or AD Fluids are fairly
uncommon in the Tower. More Meta-Beings have a weakness to fire than the
other two elements. A Twisted Coat fused with Conf/Ache will nullify any
negative status effect in the game.
And for the Bonus Dungeons:
- Triple E Sword fused with Comet/Comet parasites
Twisted Coat fused with Conf/Ache
Lucky Wings
I choose this equipment set for the Bonus Dungeons due to the high fre-
quency of AD Fluids, making it very easy to boost equipment. As noted in
section IV.2c, the elemental weaknessess of the standard versions and blue
and red advanced forms of the Meta-Beings are often different. The Triple
E Sword covers all bases here. Also, it has been confirmed by the Japanese
guidebook that using two Comet Parasites together does give a higher boost
to attack speed than using just one. It is likely that by the time you are
attempting Bonus Dungeons, the speed at which your VT depletes has been
slowed by achieving Baroques. You probably won't have a need for Stamina
Wings.
For either the Neuro Tower or Bonus Dungeons I prefer to use a Lucky Para-
site and either Appraisal or Fire Breath Brand. And be sure to use a Pre-
servative Fluid on your favorite equipment so that it can not suffer from
deterioration by any of the causes listed in section III.1.
Note that the Attack/Defense Wings are a waste of time and inventory space
when you are wielding equipment that is fully beefed up to +99, as boosts
from these items are added to the ATK/DEF power of the equipment, not to
your base stats.
Q: How did you determine the HP value for the Meta-Beings?
A: By hitting an undamaged Meta-Being with an Appraisal item, Identifying
Bone or Revolution Fluid. Hitting a Meta-Being with an Appraisal item or
Identifying Bone will give you its remaining HP total. When any entity in
Baroque is at full HP, a Revolution Fluid will reduce their HP to 1 (this
includes you). So if you throw one at a Meta-Being that hasn't taken dam-
age, just add 1 to the damage done and you have its HP total.
Q: Why did you not include the basics of the game such as controls and other
gameplay information?
A: Because that is what the instruction manual is for.
Q: Do you plan to update this FAQ in the future?
A: Not really... this guide contains virtually everything that needs to be in
it, except for the cause of the distortion of Urim and Thummin's chamber
if there even is one (see above). However, I will update the FAQ section
of the guide if I receive any submissions from readers about information
that is vague or that I did not adequately cover. I also will be willing
to update the Item Tips sections if I receive any reader submissions feel
warrant inclusion.
Q: How do I show my appreciation for your awesome work with this guide?!
A: Email me and let me know! Or if this guide has really been helpful to you,
you are welcome to make a donation via Paypal to my email address. You can
also feel free to let me know if you're aware of any similar games that I
may enjoy (PS2 or PS3 only, please).

First and foremost I'd like to thank GameFAQs forum user Malek86, who was
extremely helpful in providing useful information about the original version
of the game, and also in translating information from the Baroque Japanese
Wiki site and Guidebook. I definitely would not have been able to complete
this guide without his support and putting up with my unending stream of
emails.
I would also like to send out a very appreciative round of thanks to a few
other forum users: ReinbachIII, tannycatkimi, TuxedoFenrir, namethatno1uses,
ACasser, and Draconi_2. They each provided information that aided in the
completion of this guide.
Thanks to my proofreaders: ZedPower, ACasser, Noxnema and Malek86.
I also want to give credit to the Japanese Wiki site for this game, which can
be found at http://baroque.gkwiki2.com/. This site, though in some ways out-
dated and incorrect in the same fashion as earlier FAQs, was very helpful in
determining the exact method to get a few Voice List entries.
I'd like to think Sting for making such an awesome game, and also Atlus for
bringing it to the United States so that I could enjoy it.
And last but not least, I'd like to thank you, the readers and users of this
guide. I'm glad that my hard work and the hard work of others will be able to
answer questions about a game which prompts so many. I hope you have enjoyed
Baroque as much as I have, and that my guide has contributed to that in some
small fashion. Thank you!
