o===============================================================================o

 
Ok so this my very first guide that i've ever wrote. So please be patient with it
and tell me if there's anything wrong with it, except from spelling mistakes that
is.

Due to the fact that I can't update the guide on Lionheart2, and the account is 
really old and has stuff that I'm never gonna work on again, I created 
Drummingblitz135.  So this guide is my own work.  Contact me on [email protected] and You'll get a reply from the one in the title 
box.

Since I'm Writing this as my brother sits next to me play the game things that 
I'm unsure about will be checked at a later date, when I Play through it again.
I'm Unsure about certain things because he skipped it before I told him to go 
on.

Any big Final Fantasy fan should go out and buy this game, simply because it has
the best characters in from FFI through to FFXII.  It will settle arguements 
between people who think that they have the best character ever on it.

o===============================================================================o

Dissidia has multiple game modes, such as Duel Coliseum and quickplay, but the
one that we are most interested in at the moment is the story mode.  At the
beginning of the game there is only one option that you pick to play, while at 
the end of the game there are 12+ to choose from.

o===============================================================================o
|                           	      Prologue			          [PROL]|
o===============================================================================o


			o===============================o
			|Character: The Warrior of Light|
			|Stages:                       5|
			|Difficulty:            Tutorial|
			o===============================o



The Prologue is the only form of tutorial you will get after starting a new game.
Like the rest of the story the Prologue can  be played over and over again,
gaining you more PP.

o=======o
|Stage 1|
o=======o

[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[A][ ][ ][ ][ ][B]
[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]

[A] - Starting Point
[B] - Chaos Stigma

Ok this First stage is a fairly easy one.  All you have to do here is move The
warrior of Light from the starting point[A] to the Chaos Stigma[B] and press
X on it.  This destroys the Stigma and is the aim of stages.

o=======o
|Stage 2|
o=======o

   [ ][ ]   [ ][ ]
[A][ ][B][ ][C][ ][D]
   [ ][ ]   [ ][ ]

[A] - Starting point
[B] - Enemy
[C] - Item
[D] - Chaos Stigma

Ok so this is the first time that you will have seen an enemy piece.  To pass
this stage you must engage the enemy.  To do this you go up to its piece on 
the board and press X, just like with the Chaos Stigma.  Then the battle will
begin.  On the Loading screen check the enemies equipment to see what 
stratergies you will need to use.  Get in the habbit of this.  After defeating
the enemy pick up the potion.  Potions fully heal your HP and fill you EX 
gauge to the full.  Once you have the potion destroy the Chaos Stigma again.

o=======o
|Stage 3|
o=======o

      [ ][ ][ ]
[A][ ][B][ ][C][ ][D]
      [ ][ ][ ]

[A] - Starting Point
[B] - DP Enemy
[C] - Chest - Broadsword
[D] - Chaos Stigma

When you begin this stage you will be told about skills, which are abbilities
that can only be used in on the board.  The Stage also introduces DP enemies,
which if the condtions are met in the battle then you are rewarded with DP as
stated on the battle information.

From the starting point[A] you should fight the enemy in the way.  The DP 
condition for this battle is to win within 10 seconds.  To do this I suggest
that instead of using EX mode you should break them as fast as you can and
then attack it.  After defeating the piece move on to [C].  This chest
contains a Broadsword, which you should equip straight away.  Upon opening
the chest the shop on the custamization menu is unlocked, however you'll be
lacking the needed gil to upgrade your character. After opening the chest go
to the Chaos Stigma[D] and carry on to the forth stage of the tutorial.

o=======o
|Stage 4|
o=======o

      [B][ ][ ]
[A][ ][ ]   [D]
      [C][ ][ ]

[A] - Starting Point
[B] - DP Enemy
[C] - DP Enemy
[D] - Chaos Stigma

Here there are two enemies that will give you DP for doing the tasks.  These both
have really easy tasks to complete. One is get critical hit in 10 seconds  while 
the other is EX burst in 10 seconds.  Stand between both [B] and [C] and engage one
of them.  Once you have defeated one of them the other will go beserk and challenge 
you, which you can't escape from, unless you flee in battle (And lose 2DP) After 
defeating both of the enemies engage the Chaos Stigma[D] to beat the stage. If you 
did both DP tasks you will win more PP and a better prize.

o=======o
|Stage 5|
o=======o

[ ][ ][ ]   [ ][ ]
[A][ ][B][ ][ ][C]
[ ][ ][ ]   [ ][ ]

[A] - Starting poinnt
[B] - Chest - Power Ring
[C] - Boss Stigma

So this stage has a 'manner of fiend' according to to the Warrior of light does
it?  I call it a Boss Stigma.  But to tell you the truth, its really a boss, its
just a different characters Maniquin.

From The Starting point[A] Head fowards to open the chest[B] and get the Power 
ring that lies within.  Equip it as you did with the Broadsword, but on the 
Accessories Menu instead.  After equipping the new item head forth to the Boss
Stigma[C].  Agian defeat the enemy to advance, but doing so this time will 
complete the Stage and the Prologue.

So thats the Tutorial done, give yourself a pat on the back!  Upon completion
you've unlock a couple of new things: The PP Shop and A new Tale in the Story
Mode.

			|Character: The Warrior of Light|

			|Difficulty:                   5|
			o===============================o

Before you start this DO you should note its difficulty.   Its a 5/10. Which 
means that its one of the most difficult DOs in the game.  If this is your first
play of Dissidia then I suggest you play Cecil's or Cloud's DO until you get used
to the game and some more equipment.

I should also point out that all characters start in Lvl 1.  This means that every
time you start a new characters DO for the first time they will be Lvl 1.

Ok so before Starting this Destiny odyssey, if you follow the guide in the order
that i've wrote, you should make sure that the following is equipped:

Broadsword - Prologue

I'll let you chose you own accessories on each DO, but you should refer to the 
characeter notes before chosing them.

o=======o
|Stage 1|
o=======o

      [F][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][E][ ][ ]
[A][ ][B][ ][ ][1][G]
[ ][ ][ ][C][ ][ ]
      [D][ ]

[A] - Starting Point
[B] - Enemy
[C] - Enemy (Opens [1])
[D] - Chest - Power Ring
[E] - DP Enemy
[F] - DP enemy (Spawns after [B])
[G] - Boss Stigma
[1] - Normal Lock

Ok now this is where you start to get choices abouth wheter you want to maxium DP
on the stage or whether you want to get all the enemies and chests on the stage.
Beacause of this I will start to make suggetions  below the key on what I did for
that Stage.  

Suggestion: Defeat all and gather chests!

Ok First stage of the first DO!  This is a pretty simple stage to do to be 
honest.  First thing first head to the space between [B], [C] and[D].  The chest
on space 4 contains a Power Ring.  After defeating the maniquins and obtaining
the Power Ring you should equip it.  Next head to the space between [E] and [F].
Even though their is nothinG on space[G] at the moment, trust me.  Both of these 
are DP enemies.  [E] gives you one DP for getting a critical within 10 seconds 
and spawns enemy[F].  Enemy[F] gives you one DP for getting a victory within 10 
seconds.  After that you should head to the Boss Stigma[G] and defeat the boss
there.  Again this boss isn't very hard if your not a beginner.  

o=========o
|Stratergy|
o=========o

As I said above this battle isn't really a tough one, if you know how to fight
that is.  All you need to do against Garland is to use your normal stratergies
as if it was a normal fight, but only longer.  The way that I dealt with him
was to BRV break him and unleash one really powerful attack upon him.

o=======o
|Stage 2|
o=======o

      [G]   [D][ ][B][ ]
[%][1][2][ ][ ][ ]   [ ]
[*][I]   [F]   [ ]   [A]
[%][4][3][ ][ ][ ]   [ ]
      [H]   [E][ ][C][ ]

[A] - Starting Point
[B] - DP Enemy (opens [4])
[C] - Enemy
[D] - Gold DP Enemy (Opens [1])
[E] - DP Enemy (Opens [3])
[F] - DP enemy (Opens [2])
[G] - Potion
[H] - Chest - Bronze Armour
[I] - Boss Stigma
[1]-[4] - Normal locks
[*] - Summon - Ifrit
[%] - Golden locks

I want to take a moment to tell you about Gold Enemies.  These Enemies are
really tough.  They have on 1HP but have high attack.  They are also hard to hit
with any attack.

Suggestion - Kill all enemies and gather items

Ok so this one has a clear path.  From the starting point go to [c].  Go this way
beacuase the piece behind it is not a DP enemy.  To get this pieces DP bonus you
have to win the battle within 10 secinds.  Next defeat you should defeat 
enemy[E].  You need to defeat this if you want to get the chest[H].  After this
battle head right to the top of the stage into the space between [B] and [D]. 
Both of these are DP enemies.  [B] has a condition of winning without damage
while [D] has one of hit a critical in 10 seconds.  Now that only leaves enemy[F]
left to defeat.  After defeating it go to [H] for Bronze armour and [G] for a
potion.  Equip the Bronze Armour and go the Boss Stigma [I].  

o=========o
|Stratergy|
o=========o

Again another easy battle, but a tougher one.  A good way to defeat it is to 
Break it BRV and then use your EX Mode, gained from the potion.  Other than 
this you should use your usual battle tactics against Sephrioth.

o=======o
|Stage 3|
o=======o

[ ][C][ ][E]      [J]
[ ]   [D]   [ ][H][ ]
[A]   [ ][1][F][ ][2][L]
[ ]   [ ]   [G][ ]
[B][ ][*]      [I][K]

[A] - Starting Point
[B] - Enemy  
[c] - DP enemy (Opens [1])
[D] - DP enemy
[E] - Rare enemy
[F] - Boss Stigma
[G] - Rare Chest - Rosemary
[H] - DP Enemy
[I] - DP enemy (opens [2])
[J] - Chest - In Midair
[K] - Ether
[L] - Chaos Stigma
[*] - Summon - Ifrit:Auto

Suggestions: Kill all enemies and gather items

OK thrid stage, doing well.  So you need to unlock two locks here before you can
progress onto the next Stage.  So the first thing that you will need to do is to
go down to the Enemy [B] and defeat it.  Then head to the right to pick up the
first obtainable summon of the game.  Its Ifirt. Equip it as soon as you get it.
Then go up to defeat enemy[D].  To get its DP bonus you can't take any damage.
Then head up and defeat the next enemy[C].  This also a DP bonus in which you
have to get a critical hit within 10 seconds.  Defeating this piece also unlocks 
the first lock.  Now theres a boss battle, buts its not the end of the Stage.

o=========o
|Stratergy|
o=========o

Ok, Ultimecia is a witch, so common sense would suggest that you get in close to 
kill her.  Don't.  Once she has you in a corner her BRV stealing moves will keep 
you there until she has enough to do a lot of HP damage.  Since you have 
Mid-range techniques, use them!  Also don't forget to use your EX Mode to make 
the battle easier.

Ok so after defeating her its back to the board.  Next thing that you should do
is head down to the enemy[I].  This enemy has a DP bonus that is obtained
by performing a wall rush in 10 seconds.  Defeating this also allows you to go 
straight to the Chaos Stigma[L] by opening lock[2].  Instead head to the top of
the board and open chest to get a new accessory, In Midair.  Equip it if you 
really want to, but I don't use it.  After obtaining the accessory you will have
to fight the Enemy[H], who has a nice DP bonus for you, which is given by 
stopping the enemy getting EX cores.  After this go to the Chaos stigma and 
destroy it.

o=======o
|Stage 4|
o=======o

[B][ ][ ][ ][G][H]   [L]
[ ][ ]   [E][ ]   [ ][ ]
[A]   [D][%][ ][1][ ][ ]
[ ]      [ ][ ]   [J][ ]
[C][ ][ ][F][ ][I][ ][K]

[A] - Starting Point
[B] - DP Enemy
[C] - Enemy
[D] - Rare Chest - Rosetta Stone
[E] - Potion (Spawns after [J])
[F] - DP enemy (Unlocks [1])
[G] - DP enemy
[H] - Chest - Slasher
[I] - Chest - Rosetta Stone
[J] - DP enemy
[K] - DP enemy
[L] - Boss Stigma
[1] - Lock
[%] - Gold Lock

Ok so heres the penultimate Stage of the first DO. Again its another stage with
plenty of chances to get DP Bonuses.  To get the first head to the Enemy[B]
there.  To get this bonus all you need to do is to win the battle in ten seconds
or less. Next head to the bottom of the Stage and defeat the enemy[C].  After the
battle head to the right to defeat enemy[F], which has a DO bonus which is given
if you can win the battle without losing any HP. Carry in to the right so that
you can pick up the chest, which contains either A Rosetta Stone or 50PP.  Then 
carry on right and defeat both enemimes[J] and [K].  Both of these pieces give 
you a DP bonus, [J] if you get a critcal hit within ten seconds and [K] if you
win without taking any damage. 

After defeating [J] a potion will spawn.  So head up to where the potion is and 
defeat the enemy[G] first, gaining a DP point if you can win the battle.  Why do
get a DP for winning?  Because its a Level 19, and its a tough 'un to beat, so 
be careful. After getting winning and getting the potion and winning the battle, 
go and open the chest[H] to gain Slasher, a nice axe for you.  I suggest that 
you equip it.  However, it takes down your Def, so it does have a disadvantage.

Now its time to go to the Boss Stigma [L].  But before you do I suggest going to 
the shop and getting a better helmet so that you have a higher starting BRV.

o=========o
|Stratergy|
o=========o

Now the bosses are getting hard.  BUt by now you should have enough equipment
to make this battle easier, you should already have at least an extra 4atk and
an extra 428 HP.  Not to mention you should be at least Lv 5.  Hopefully 
you've taken my advice about getting the Slasher and a Helmet.

There's no way that he should be dealt with apart from the usual battle 
stratergies that you use and Jumping a lot to avoid his thrust attack.

The Best way to do this in my opinion is to break him so that he can't do any
damage for a while.  When he's been broke enter your EX mode (Thanks to the 
potion I told you to get) and EX burst all over his face.  Simple when you 
think about it.

o=======o
|Stage 5|
o=======o

         [H]   [C]
      [K][ ][F][ ][ ]
[M][1][ ][I][ ][D][ ][A]
      [L][ ][G][ ][B]
         [J]   [E]

[A] - Starting Point
[B] - Gold DP enemy (Spawn after [D])
[C] - Chest - ??? (Need to check this)
[D] - DP Enemy
[E] - Potion (spawn after [L])
[F] - Enemy (Spawn after [C])
[G] - Rare Enemy
[H] - Chest - Guard Ring (Spawn after [B])
[I] - DP enemy (Unlocks [1])
[J] - Rare Chest - Mythril
[L] - DP Enemy (Spawn after [I])
[K] - Enemy (Spawn from [H])
[M] - Boss Stigma
[1] - Lock

Final Stage of the first DO.  LEts get this done and start on the next DO.  Ok so
as usual, the starting point is [A].  This time there is a lot to do on the
Stage, even though it may not look it to start with, as there are lots of spawns
on this stage.

From the Starting point of the stage [A]  head up to the first chest [C].  After
opening the chest a new piece will spawn, enemy[F].  So now choose between that
and enemy[D] to fight.  Enemy[D] is a DP enemy, which to gain its bonus you need
to break your opponent within 10 seconds of starting the fight.  After defeating
these two pieces go and to the left and engage enemy[I].  Again this is another 
DP bonus fight, aquired by stopping the opponent from getting the EX cores.  This
also opens up Lock[1].  Next open the chest[H] for a guard ring and a spawn of a
normal enemy[K].  Then head down and and defeat enemy[L] which spawned after you
defeated enemy[I].  You can get a DP bonus here by defeating it without taking
any damage.  So now go defeat enemy[B].  This is a golden enemy with a FP bonus
which is gained by EX bursting in 10 secs.  Finally get the potion[E] and go to
the Boss Stigma[M].

o=========o
|Stratergy|
o=========o

Ok so here's the final boss of the first DO.  Its Garland, the very first boss
od this DO, remember him?  Since he has a higher level he's a tougher fight than
he was before.

Apart from the extra stats, he's still an easy fight.  BRV break him as per usual
and then unleash a deadly EX burst on him.  This should kill him, especailly if
you have some good equipment.  If it doesn't keep on hammering him with the BRV
attacks and then a HP one again.

Yeah! You just completed the first DO!  In my opinion it was one of the hardest
ones in the whole game.
