| Introduction |
o--------------o
The Maze of Tribulations (formally Cave of Trials to Star Ocean fans) is an
optional dungeon only available after defeating the boss of the game. Once
defeated, after the credits your game data is marked as 'clear' data and the
Maze of Tribulations becomes available.
To find the Maze of Tribulations, head to the Mining Town of Kirlsa. Head to
the Southwest corner to find a door that was once blocked to be open. When you
go inside you'll find an easy to navigate path to a transporter, all you need
is your ring fo disintegration once. This trasnporter leads to the Maze of
Tribulations.
o-------------o
| Preparation |
o-------------o
First off start with your equipment, you're going to want it as powerful as
possible. If you haven't done any item creation at this point it's definitely
time to start.
Orichalcum - This metal can be created with the help of the Alchemist's Stone,
and the use of Maria, Misty Lear and Mackwell.
Once you have some Orichalcum, you can use Specify Plan on it to increase it's
power, or synthesize it immediately. Choose synthesize in your item creation
menu and select you strongest weapon for each character, beging synthesizing
these weapons with the Orichalcum to move the Atk+500 (or Atk+1000) bonuses
onto your weapon. Once you have at least one on there you can begin to use
Specify Plan to double them up until you have many. This is a very expensive
process but you need to do it in order to survive.
Another thing to do since defense is important, is recruit the inventor
Chilico. She is capable of creating the Boots of Prowess. Once you havea
couple pair start using Specify Plan to change the Atk/Def +5% bonuses into
Atk/Def +30% bonuses.
At this point you should be ready to take on the Maze of Tribulations.

A scene introducing the maze occurs when you enter. Similar to Valkyrie
Profile the 'game voice' comes on directly telling you that this has nothing to
do with the story, and it's just for those who want to find an even greater
challenge. Sounds pretty good. Soon you will have control (music sound
familiar to SO2 players?)

---Level 1:
Items: Synthesis Materials (2), Perfect Berries, Compounding Elixirs (2),
Blackberries (2), Shadow Phase Gun, Alchemy Materials, Cooking
Ingredients, Aquaberries, 60,000 Fol, Smithery Materials, Ripse Berries,
Helm of the Dark Eye
Begin by heading North. Of the two exits in the next room take the Northwest
one. In the next room there are boxes on your left, destory them with your
ring to uncover two chests. They contain Synthesis Materials and Perfect
Berries. Now take the East path (none of the other boxes you go by contain
treasure) and follow it to the very end. In the next room are more boxes to
destroy, hiding a chest with Compounding Elixirs. Go out the door North, then
exit North again.
In this room there is a chest sitting on the boxes. Shoot the ones below it
and allow the ones above it to knock it down. If you shoot the top ones as
they fall they won't knock the chest and it will just float in mid air with a
glitch (or maybe this is what you want.) Open it to find a Shadow Phase Gun
and exit East, then into the next East room.
Here are three chests containing Blackberries, Alchemy Materials and Cooking
Ingredients. Go out and head North, then North again.
This room is kind of a maze. Take your first right then go up and follow the
path to the end, you'll find a chest containing Synthesis Materials. Go back
to the entrance, this time go up at the first fork. Don't take any branching
paths and it'll lead you to a chest containing Blackberries. Head back ot the
East and take the first path South. At the bottom is a chest with Compounding
Elixirs. Just above you, take the path leading East (not all the way up, it's
just a couple steps from the chest.) Follow it around and it'll lead you to a
chest with Aquaberries.
Head back to the 'main' path and go North. If you have trouble finding it,
from the entrance all you need to do is go straight up, follow the path around
the corner and take the first branch North. Keep going up and you'll find a
chest containing 60,000 Fol. On your way up there was a path leading East, go
back and take it. Destory the blocks and go North into the next room. Grab
the two chests here containing Smithery Materials and Ripe Berries. Go back to
the path where you destoryed the boxes and continue East to a door leading
South.
Exit this room to the East to find a long hallway. Follow it to the end. Just
before you go into the door there is a chest contianing Helm of the Dark Eye.
Enter the door and watch the event:
Miniboss:
Name: Render Weak: Fire
Hp: 350,000 Half: N/A
Mp: 50,000 Immune: N/A
Level: 74 Drain: Water
Exp: 90,000
Fol: 16,900
Drop: N/A
The bosses of the floors aren't really bosses, just strong normal enemies, thus
'minibosses.' There are no special tactics to use for these particular ones
any different than you would a normal battle, so if you're having trouble on
the boss it's likely an indication you are either underlevelled or need
stronger equipment, not a different strategy for the boss, it's only going to
get harder.
After the battle and another scene, open the two chests to find a Pumpkin
Wraith Rod and Synthesis Materials. Descend to the next floor.
---Level 2 & 3:
Items: Cooking Ingredients (2), Dark Faerie Claw, Magical Berries, Perfect
Berries, Smithery Materials, Enigmatic Scroll, Synthesis Materials (2),
Compounding Elixirs, Reflecting Plate (2), Mystic Chain, Blueberries (2),
Abstruse Scroll, Blueberries, Cooking Ingredients, Blackberries (3),
40,000 Fol, Elemental Ticklers, 74,000 Fol, Trading Card EX13, 58,000 Fol,
Aquaberries (3), Experimental Remedy, Complicated Scroll, Robe of
Deception
Head East into the next room. Fight the enemy right in front of you, all you
have to do is win the battle to get a free Battle Trophy. Take the first path
North to a room with a chest contianing Cooking Ingredients. Go back down and
exit East, then East again. The room North has a chest containing Dark Faerie
Claw. Take the path in this room leading West, along the way you'll find an
empty chest. Destroy the two blocks here to make a huge pile of chests! They
contain an empty chest, Experimental Remedy, Complicated Scroll, Aquaberries
and Blackberries. Try and destroy the boxes and still havea path to get by
them, it's hard to do but on the other side are two chests containing Perfect
Berries and Robe of Deception.
Leave the room and head South, you will reach a switch. Activate it. Now
return all the way to the first room of this floor.
Head North, then North again. In this room grab the chest containing Magical
Berries. Head West. Go up the the top of this hallway, a bit to the right,
then enter the door leading South. A scene occurs here.
Miniboss:

Mp: 50,000 Immune: N/A
Level: 79 Drain: N/A
Exp: 95,000
Fol: 25,000
Drop: Jewel of Alertness (4%)
After the battle watch the scene. Enter the East door and it's puzzle time.
First it is important to understand that while this is a 4x4 grid, the bottom
right panel is a section where you can jump down. This section can be moved
around, and that's where the puzzle comes into play.
Think of the room as a grid. 4x4. So now, 1-1 is the top left block, 4-4 is
the bottom right, 4-1 is the top right (it goes across-down.)
If you have no interest in treasure, scroll down to the three asterisk marker
(***).
First, go the the open section and jump down.
Go one room East and you'll find a whole lot of boxes. Hidden among these
boxes are two chests containing Perfect Berries and Smithery Materials. Now
take the lower left exit. Grab the chest containing Cooking Ingredients and go
back one room. Exit South now, then West. Take the transporter. You are now
back on 2F, and you need to go East, then into the South room to return to the
sliding puzzle, you will find yourself in this room more than once so be sure
you know how to get back to the puzzle.
- Go to 3-4 and move it East
- Jump down
Head South and grab the Enigmatic Scroll. Keep going to reach the transporter
again. Return to the puzzle.
- Go to 4-3 and move it South
- Go to 4-2 and move it South
- Jump down
Head East twice, break the boxes to reveal a chest containing Synthesis
Materials. Keep going up and take the transporter. Return to the room sliding
area.
(I feel obligated to tell you beforehand, this next one only leads to one
chest... with Blueberries)
- Go to 4-3 and move it South
- Go to 4-2 and move it South
- Go to 3-2 and move it East
- Go to 2-2 and move it East
- Jump down
Go up, grab the chest containing Blueberries along the way and take the
transporter. Return to the sliding puzzle.

When you land you will find three chests containing Compounding Elixirs,
Reflecting Plate and Mystic Chain. Head West twice and destory to blocks to
uncover a chest containing Raven Gauntlets. Past the blocks, take the East
path and follow it to another switch, activate it. Go back and exit West for a
scene.
Miniboss:
Name: Basilisk King Weak: N/A
Hp: 79,365 Half: N/A
Mp: 3607 Immune: Earth, Wind

After the (painfull easy) fight, go up the stairs to a room with a total of
NINE chests. They contain in no particular order: Abstruse Scroll,
Blueberries, Cooking Ingredients, Aquaberries, Blackberries, Blackberries,
40,000 Fol, Synthesis Materials and Reflecting Plate. Exit East and you'll be
in the first room of the maze. You can exit and save your game if you wish.
From the entrance head North, the take the Northeast door. There door in this
room is now open leading to an elevator. Go to to level 2. Head up, the East.
There is a floating chest here, knock down the block closest to the door to
make it fall. It contains Elemental Ticklers. Keep going East to find a chest
containing 74,000 Fol. Go back to just North of the elevator.
Head West this time, at the end you'll find a room with two chests containing
Compounding Elixirs and Cooking Ingredients. Now take the elevator to level 3.
Head West twice for a scene. It's the famous Santa for Star Ocean 2, however
instead of a man in robes... I don't even know what he is, but just like old
Santa he's sells some of the best items in the game.

As for the chest high up in this room, it's very hard to knock down. Here's
the only way I was able to do it: Destory the Northwest block then as QUICKly
as possible destroy the one directly below it. The three should tumble at
about the same time and if you're lucky knock down the chest, if not, keep
trying. It contains Trading Card EX13. Enter the upper left room to find
58,000 Fol and Aquaberries. Go back to the elevator and go to level 4.
---Level 4
Items: Efreet Cape, Ripe Berries (2), Magical Berries (3), 61,000 Fol
Head West and open the chest to find an Efreet Cape. Exit the room West.
There are two chests here, head Southwest from the door to find one just above
the bottom corner containing Ripe Berries, then go up and aroudn to the left to
find another atop a box containing Magical Berries. Exit to the North.
Go up and head West first chance you get and head to the end. After head South
then East to find a chest containing Ripe Berries. Return to the entrance and
go North at the fork.
On this floor you will be seeking out a whole lot (about ten) of those
colourful glowing orbs, whe nyou've defeated enough they will stop spawning and
you will be able to proceed.
After going North at the first fork, take the East path a bit and North at the
other magic circle. Destory the blocks in your path and head West at the fork.
Take the first path North, then East at the top and it'll lead to three boxes
blocking a chest, the chest contains Magical Berries.
Go back to the North wall of the room, there is a chest at the very Northwest
corner, so head West, you'll have to go down a bit to get around the wall, when
you reach the chest it contains 61,000 Fol. Head South, then East again. Go
all the way to the East-most side of the room. Navigate through the darkness
to the Northeastern corner behind some boxes to find Magical Berries.
If there are no more wisps around then head back to the entrance, go up and
head East at the first fork. Break the boxes at the East end and you should
reach a staircase guarded by a monster. Approach it and watch the scene.

---Level 5
Items: Blueberries (2), Blackberries, Synthesis Materials (2), Perfect Berries,
Burdensome Folio, Ripe Berries (2), Hefty Folio, Magical Berries (2),
Obscure Scroll, 122,000 Fol
Follow the path until you reach a door leading East. Enter it anf follow the
path to a room with two chests, open them to receive Blueberries and
Blackberries. Go back to where you entered the door leading East and head
North. As you go up, destroy the top block of the four in a row to reveal a
chest with Blueberries. Keep going North to trigger a scene.
Her name is Puffy, but choose whatever you want. She summons a creature for
you to promptly beat the crap out of. Continue the event afterward. Grab the
chest on your right for some Synthesis Materials. Head West and follow that
path until you reach a Southward branch, follow it to a room with some boxes in
the lower right corner. Break them to find a chest containing an Obscure
Scroll. Leave the room, head up and continue West along the path until you
reach a door leading East. Before you go into it, destory the box right beside
it to find a chest containing Perfect Berries. Enter the room, then go North.
The chests here contain Burdensome Folio, Ripe Berries and Hefty Folio. Go
back South and West.
Head down a couple steps and enter the door leading West. Get the three chests
in this room to receive Magical Berries, Synthesis Materials and Ripe Berries.
Leave the room and follow the path North, and as it turns left. Enter the door
you come to leading North. Go North again and break the boxes on the right
side fo the room to find a chest containing Magical Berries. Head South twice,
then continue West along the path. Exit South then East. At the top of this
hall break the boxes to uncover a chest containing 122,000 Fol. Head South to
the bottom and into the door. In this room there's a scene.
Puffy's in trouble, you can choose to help her or ignore her (she's an inventor
you can revruit, choose to help her.)

The similarities are just so prominent... watch the scene. Grab the Secret
Room Key she dropped and head back to where you first met her. You can now
unlock the North door. Head up North and speak to Puffy. If you got the
Experimental Remedy on Level 2, give it to her now. Sign her up as an inventor
wherever you wish. Now go down the stairs.

this room are three chests containing Blackberries, Blueberries and

enter go a bit to the right and go South, you'll find a chest with Unwieldy
Folio. Exit North, then North again. At the Southwest corner of this room are
two chests containing Smithery Materials and Blueberries. Before reading on I
suggest reading the boss strategy because there's an important preparation to
make. Take the West exit, then West again and you'll trigger a scene. Fans of
Valkyrie Profile will enjoy this one.

Boss Strategies:
This is an interesting fight indeed, this part is actually less about the
strategies and more about the trophies. There are two reasons I saw this,
first, if you are using a character capable of equipping heavy armour like Fayt
and Cliff, equip those two Reflecting Plates you found and you will be
virtually invulnerable for the whole fight, since 99% of the time all he uses
is fire breath, and Reflecting Plate makes you 100% immune to fire. The second
reason is the fact that you can get five Battle Trophies for this fight, and
easy ones at that! Here are all the trophies you can earn:
Defeat Mighty Vox
Get item from Mighty Vox
Guard against Mighty Vox
Emit Anti-Attack Aura against Mighty Vox
Break Mighty Vox's guard
- First One: Simple, you'll get it automatically
- Second One: He has a 100% drop rate, you get it automatically
- Third One: A bit annoying because he refuses to do anything other than fire
breath. Turn your teammates to manual to keep them from attacking and just
stand under him waiting for him to swoop at you.
- Fourth One: Easy, once you do number three, with the stun AAA on, you'll
pretty much automatically get this one too
- Fifth One: While he's stunned his fury meter should fill to about full, tap
circle and boom... instant battle trophy
Now turn your party back on, and beat the snot out of him. Five trophies right
there.
***
I just love the way the characters talk about the main story... talk about
projecting out of the game. Anyway finish the scene, then head West and
activate the switch. Now return all the way to the stairs you came down on.
One important thing to note here is the reason you're moving at a snail's pace
in battle now. The '1/1 Scale Bunny' slows your movement by 50% and has no
good effects besides selling for a lot of money. Since you aren't near a shop
I recommend going to the menu and dropping it with the square button.
From the first room head North. The boxes at the upper right conceal a chest
containing Perfect Berries. From here it's a linear path to the second room
sliding puzzle.
If you don't want the treasure, scroll down to the three asterisk marker (***).
- Go to 3-4 and move it East
- Go to 2-4 and move it East
- Jump down
Head South, open the chest to find Magical Berries and go back up the
transporter. Return to the puzzle room.
- Go to 3-4 and move it East

Proceed South, then again and again. Grab the Magical Berries and go North.
Go East to the transporter, and retu nto the puzzle room.
- Jump down

Boss Strategies:
This thing is very odd, you even get a battle trophy just for encountering it
(and another for defeating it.) For such a little guy he has a lot of life
(and some damn powerful attacks, both Hp and Mp kill) so watch out. His other
advantage is his small size which gives he the ability to evade many of your
attacks, so use big area encompassing skills like Air Raid to not only damage
him a lot, but keep him juggled and not attacking you. His Hp and Mp totals
are high, but nothing higher than you've already seen up to now.
***
Watch the scene, then enter the door and take the transporter.
Before starting the section of level 8 there's one thing to note. Take the
emergency exit, as the sliding puzzle on level 6 now has the blocked walls
removed and there's more treasure to get. It will take you two rooms away from
the sliding puzzle, so go there.
- Go to 4-3 and move it South
- Go to 4-2 and move it South
- Go to 4-1 and move it South
- Jump down
Go North, grab the chest from behind the transporter containing a Mystic Chain
and go back to the puzzle.
- Go to 4-3 and move it South
- Go to 4-2 and move it South
- Go to 4-1 and move it South
- Go to 3-1 and move it East
- Jump down
Head North. Destroy the boxes and knock down the chest containing the Divine
Avenger. Head back up.
Now before you move the empty spot to the top left and return ot level 8 (which
is easy since the walls are gone) be SURE you go all the way back up and save,
a super hard boss is on floor 8 and with all the stuff you've done, there's no
way you should possibly risk losing it. After saving, return here, move the
empty spot to the top left corner and follow the path ot Level 8.

Boss Strategies:
Gabriel is extremely hard no matter how you look at it. First lets deal with
how you are going to kill him, Hp kill is probably the preferred way. With
1,000,000 Hp that will take some time, but it's obviously possible, in fact his
Hp total is that last thing you should be worry about. His attacks, his basic
attacks is a swing of his holy spear in a circular motion that will damage
anyone around it, so you'll have to be very careful of this and make sure your
attacks are constantly hitting him to keep him from knocking you away.
Second is his primary powerful attack, Lightning Feather. This attack deals
massive Hp damage, massive Mp damage, hits numerous times and to top it all
off, paralyzes you. Before the fight you may want to create some Amulets of
Freedom and synthesize the effect onto your weapon (since you don't want to
waste an accessory slot.) This attack goes out from Gabriel for a certain
range so if you want to dodge it you'll have to get as far away from him as
possible, but be warned, you aren't given much time to dodge at all.
Thirdly is his Dragon attack he does later which again does lots of Hp/Mp
damage and cannot be guarded. It doesn't centre at Gabriel either, in centres
on the map so your best chance at avoiding this is to head to the outside
areas.
Fayt's simple Side Kick works great because it makes you temporarily
invincible, so his spear swing misses and it's easy to cancel bonus, if you
want something more powerful you can use Air Raid, but he easily interrupts
you. Maria from a distance with Energy Burst (found in a scroll in this
dungeon) works incredibly, and Cliff's Infinity Kick also racks up the damage.
Choose your best battle skills for any other characters you happen to be using,
it doesn't make a particularly big difference.
And another seperate paragraph dedicated to how well Side Kick works, not only
does it make his most powerful attacks miss you, but it also stops them
entirely once it connects.
Overall what you want out of this fight is protection from paralysis, a
constant wave of damaging attacks, and a good supply of Perfect Berries. If
you can get a good system going, you can bring Gabriel down.

After the fight watch the scene. The doors are now open at the Southwest and
Southeast. The Southwest has a chest containing a Fire Faerie, the SOutheast
has a chest containing a Star Guard.
You have completed the Maze of Tribulations, leave and save your game.
Some things to note, the broken seal Gabriel spoke of referred to the seal on
floors 101-211 of the Sphere corporation. You can now access all 211 floors,
the ones above 100 containg enemies that dwarf the Maze fo Tribulations in
diffuculty, as to the bosses at the top.
You can fight Gabriel whenever you want, so don't worry about resetting to get
the rest of the Battle Trophies, save!
Congratulations.
