| | Intro to Post Game Content - [ITPGCNT] | |
|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
Once you beat the game and watch the credits, you are given the chance to save
"Clear Data" to your gamer profile. This doesn't erase any of your save files,
it sends an 'unlock' command to all of your save files.
You can access the Post Game Content with any of your save files, but the best
choice is to use the save file right before you faced the final boss. The game
will load up where you were when you saved the file, so you can defeat the
final boss again if you choose, the only difference is that all Post Game
Content will be unlocked.
Post Game Content:
-Allows you to play as Faize in place of Arumat in subsequent playthroughs.
-Allows you to enter the doors in the hallway right before the Final Boss.
(Left Door = Boss, Right Door = Portal back to the Calnus)
-Defeating the Boss in the left door grants you the "Darkness Ring".
-The "Darkness Ring" allows entry into the Cave of the Seven Stars.
-Defeating the Seven Star Dungeon's Boss allows entry to the Wandering Dungeon.
-Defeating the Wandering Dungeon's Boss is the final challenge.

| | Faize & Arumat - [ARUFAZE] | |
|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
Faize & Arumat
The Phantom Ambush is a turning point once you have Clear Data saved to your
gamer profile. After the Ambush, Arumat would normally join your party.
Instead, you are given the following text-menu with the option to keep Faize:
-----------------------------------------------------------
|Clear data detected. You may now keep Faize in your |
|party in place of Arumat, if you prefer. [This does not |
|affect the story; Arumat will still appear in cutscenes.]|
| |
|Would you like to keep Faize in your party |
|in place of Arumat? |
| -Keep Faize |
| -Keep Aruamt |
-----------------------------------------------------------
If you want all 100 of Faize's Battle Trophies, you will have to keep Faize
during at least one playthrough. Once you choose, you can not change your
choice for the rest of your current playthrough.

| | The Undying Dragon - [DEDDRAG] | |
|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
The Undying Dragon
In the final hall of the Palace of Creation are two doors. The right leads to
a Portal which transports you back to the Calnus. The left door contains a
vicious dragon! You must defeat it in order to proceed to further Post Game
Content.
...............................................................................
BOSS: Undying Dragon
Race-----------: Demon
Hit Points-----: 1,896,572
EXP Given------: 41,365
FOL Given------: 31,189
Resistant To---: Fire
Weak Against---: Water
Drops----------: Darkness Ring
Details: A dragon that has thrashed and twisted on the floor of a room in the
Palace of Creation for an extended period of time. Believed to be the
embodiment of a certain man's evil ambition, it decided of its own volition to
hide itself away.
Strategy: This dragon has a huge amount of hitpoints and will take quite a
while to kill, but is much easier than Satanail was. He is able to
be juggled and tossed into the air, so take advantage of this and try
to Critical Hit him whenever you can. Rush Combos work great, just
be careful when he goes into Rush Mode. He can fly into the air and
drop down creating serious knockdown effects for your party. All in
all, this boss is easy but time consuming. Make sure to keep at
least one healer, and always try to keep the dragon juggled in the
air with Combos; Avoid him when he goes into Rush Mode, and he will
eventually fall. Once you defeat him, he drops the "Darkness Ring".
Get ready for the Bonus Dungeons!

Post Game Dungeon Equipment Suggestion/Preparation
Now that you are in Post Game areas, you're going to want to start abusing the
Synthesis ability on your ship, the Calnus. Before you begin, please hop on
over to my Synthesis FAQ to learn about the basics of Synthesis and how to use
the "Overflow Trick".
My Synthesis FAQ:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/file/946860/56861
For any help creating items from your Item Creation terminal, please use my
Item Creation Ingredient FAQ:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/file/946860/57159
There are many different pieces of equipment you can use; Typically, you'll
want to buy your equipment from EN II or create it in your Item Creation
terminal. For Item Creation recipes, check the bottom of my Ingredient FAQ.
Here are some of my suggested equipment choices:
SUGGESTED BEST WEAPONS:
Edge : Imperial Sword : 10 Synth Limit Slots
Reimi : Mediumistic Bow : 10 Synth Limit Slots
Lymle : Laser Weapon : 16 Synth Limit Slots
Bacchus : Symbol Cannon "Tempest" : 12 Synth Limit Slots
Meracle : Laser Weapon : 16 Synth Limit Slots
Myuria : Wizard's Staff : 09 Synth Limit Slots
Sarah : Trident Harpoon : 10 Synth Limit Slots
Arumat : Laser Weapon : 16 Synth Limit Slots
Anyone : Laser Weapon : 16 Synth Limit Slots
SUGGESTED BEST ARMORS:
Edge, Faize, Arumat : Universal Armor : 10 Synth Limit Slots
Reimi, Meracle : Absolute Protector : 12 Synth Limit Slots
Myuria, Lymle, Sarah : Seven Star Cloak : 10 Synth Limit Slots
Bacchus : Plate of the Lost Monarch : 08 Synth Limit Slots
Anyone : Laser Suit : 16 Synth Limit Slots
WHERE TO FIND:
Imperial Sword - Item Creation
Mediumistic Bow - Item Creation
Symbol Cannon "Tempest" - Item Creation
Wizard's Staff - Item Creation
Trident Harpoon - Chest; Wandering Dungeon F09, F13,
Laser Weapon - Complete quest "Trial of Might" in the Sanctuary
Absolute Protector - Chest; Wandering Dungeon F11, F13, F16
Universal Armor - Item Creation
Seven Star Cloak - Chest; Cave of the Seven Stars; Floor 7, West Room
Plate of the Lost Monarch - Chest; Wandering Dungeon F03, F05
Laser Suit - Item Creation
If you don't have access to certain items, simply create the best item you can
via your Item Synthesis terminal. The equipment listed above are the best
pieces of equipment that have multiple empty Factor Slots and extremely high
stats. Factors can be much more effective than stats.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Customizing Synthesis Items
First of all, if you have not done so yet, go read about the Overflow Trick in
my Synthe FAQ.
---
For customising Weapons, you'll want to buy some Observer's Swords over at the
weapon shop(s) on EN II in Centropolis.
For customising Armors, you'll want to get a few Alchemist's Cloaks as drops
from the Cursed Horrors in the Sanctuary and the Old Road to Sanctuary.
There are both Empty Factor pieces of equipment.
Here are a few options/ways to prepare each of them for Customization via the
Overflow Trick:
WEAPON:
Suggestion 1) Warning Brooch with 1 Aquaberry Synthed onto it.
Suggestion 2) Warning Brooch with 1 Sacrificial Doll Synthed onto it.
Suggestion 3) Sacrificial Doll with 2 Aquaberries Synthed onto it.
Suggestion 4) Sacrificial Doll with 2 more Sacrificial Dolls Synthed onto it.
ARMOR:
1) Sacrificial Doll with 2 Blueberries Synthed onto it.
2) Sacrificial Doll with 2 more Sacrificial Dolls Synthed onto it.
Using any of these suggestions, you are given an accessory that has 3 Factors
which are not transferable to the Weapon or Armor, leaving the 4th Factor Slot
open for Customization. See the "Overflow Trick" section of my Synthesis FAQ.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Side Section; tri-Emblem stat maxing:
Please read the [SUPAPWR] section of this FAQ to understand the
tri-Emblem before you read this section. Control +F is your friend.
Some of the better weapons and armors have a much higher ATK, INT, and DEF stat
than the Laser Eqiupment, but a lower number of Synth Limit Slots. When you
use them without stat maxing them with tri-Emblems, the other pieces of
equipment are usually better, but when you stat-max them, the amount of Synth
Limit Slots gives every other stat a much higher boost.
For example, the Universal Armor VS the Laser Suit.
-Both using 1 Synth Limit Slot for choosing Factors, then maxing the stats with
tri-Emblems. The stats are compared as follows:
Original Laser Suit-----: DEF = 900
Original Universal Armor: DEF = 3,300
In this case, the universal armor would be the obvious choice. But when you
max the Synth Limit out with tri-Emblems, the stats become this:
-------------- -------------------
| Laser Suit | | Universal Armor |
| ATK: 3,000 | | ATK: 1,800 |
| INT: 3,000 | | INT: 1,800 |
| DEF: 2,400 | | DEF: 4,200 |
| HIT: 3,000 | | HIT: 900 |
| GRD: 1,500 | | GRD: 900 |
-------------- -------------------
Notice that while the DEF stat is still much higher, every other stat on the
Laser Suit outdoes the Unviersal Armor. Every Weapon and Armor is the same;
Weapons with the ATK or INT stat, and Armors with the DEF stat. The tradeoff
is worth it if your other stats are lacking, but the choice is ultimately
yours and boils down to the question, "Which stats are more important to you?"
(If you don't have access to tri-Emblems, then Ashlay Bernbeldt Jewels have
very nice stats for Synth Stat Maxing.)
The following sections are some Factors and Combinations that I believe to be
the best.

| | Explanation of the Cave of the Seven Stars - [EOTCOSS] | |
|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
In the back of Tatroi's Colosseum is a Holy Light Barrier. If you use your
Darkness Ring on it, the way to the Cave of the Seven Stars is opened.
I will refer to this area as the "Seven Star Dungeon" from now forward.
The Seven Star Dungeon has 7 floors, plus an Inner Sanctum.
Each floor in the dungeon has:
- A (broken) elevator that can take you down to the next level
- A symbol that can take you to the surface
- Treasures to collect (including Stone Fragments)
- A boss to defeat [One floor has 2 bosses, one floor has none]
- A mystical Star
Every floor's elevator is, conveniently, broken. To fix them, you need to
collect "Stone Fragments" on each floor. These are typically scattered
everywhere on the level in random chests. Once you have all of the Stone
Fragments on your current floor, you take them back to the walls around the
elevator in the center of the area, place them where they go, and watch the
elevator activate. Take the elevator down and do it all over again.
Once you get to the 7th floor, the boss will drop a "Star Dipper". This
allows you to pick up the mystical Stars that you'll be seeing on every floor.
Each floor has one and only 1; You will need to collect all 7 to open the way
to the Inner Sanctum. The path to the Inner Sanctum is in the South Room of
the 7th Floor. Beware the Sanctum's Celestial Guardian, Gabriel Celeste.

If you can handle yourself in the Palace of Creation, you can handle yourself
in the Seven Star Dungeon. The enemies are a bit tougher, but they aren't
anything you can't handle. For Equipment Preparation, make sure to focus on
Factors that buff your active stats, like DEF (everyone) and ATK (fighters).
Potent Defense & Attack seeds are great for this. By the time you reach the
next dungeon, you're going to want to get as close to 9,999ing your stats as
possible. If you find yourself getting slaughtered in here, go back to your
Item Creation terminal and craft something stronger, and take a look through
the equipment suggestion/preparation section for some Factor ideas. You're
going to want to be around level 60 or 70 for this dungeon, and around level
100 for the final boss of it.

|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
First of all, a reminder: Ignore the ethereal/mystical stars that you can't
even grab. You will be able to get these much later.
This floor, as well as the next 2 floor, have a very annoying, and very deadly
enemy roaming around; The Gust Hornet. Avoid this bee-creature, as it is
capable of decimating even a Lv100 party with ease. If you choose to tackle
them, just make sure they don't surprise you. This enemy is designed to fool
you into thinking that the rest of the dungeon's enemies are hard; Do not be
fooled.
So onto the hunt for this floor's Stone Fragments; It looks as though the only
one is in a chest in the south room. You'll rarely find a Stone Fragment alone
without a guard or boss, and this one is no exception either. You'll be facing
the "Temple Guardian".
...............................................................................
BOSS: Temple Guardian
Race-----------: Mech
Hit Points-----: 958,949
EXP Given------: 110,000
FOL Given------: 3,270
Resistant To---: Water
Weak Against---: Thunder
Drops----------: Basil
Void Recovery Unit
Poison Relief Unit
Details: An ancient robot discovered inside the Cave of the Seven Stars. The
Cave Guardian was apparently a work in progress after all; this Temple Guardian
is believed to be the final, completed product. However, parts of it seem to
remain incomplete, leading some to theorize that this is actually a test model.
Strategy: As with every Boss, make sure you stock up on anti-ailment items,
healing items, and resurrection items. This guy is a beefed up
version of the Cave Guardian. Being Lv60+ is recommended. Critical
Hits will keep him knocked down for a good portion of the battle, so
be sure to use the Critical Hit Skill or Weapon Factor. His close
range attacks are much less dangerous than his ranged attacks, so get
your fighters up close and personal, and dish out your strongest
attacks. Having a healer stand in a corner away from the action can
also save your butt if you get in a pickle. This boss is basically
a boss to test your survival ability for the following bosses in the
Cave. If you can beat this boss easily, you'll do fine the rest of
the way down. If you are having trouble, simply beef up your ATK and
DEF, then add some good Factors to your equipment that can help you.
Every boss in the Cave of the Seven Stars is in one of the side rooms
to the North, South, East, or West, so it's easy to exit the dungeon
and save before each battle; Take your time, learn the tactics, and
try, try again.
...............................................................................
Once you defeat him, claim your prize chest, and return to the center room to
place the Stone Fragment in the wall around the elevator. You can now take the
elevator down a level. This elevator will always stay active and always grant
you entry to any floor that you've already been to, so don't worry about not
being able to get back in a heartbeat, because you can!

Red Eagle Ranger:
Details: The leader of the Mighty Multi-Colored Bald Eagle Rangers, and the
oldest of the four brothers. His eagle tattoo is red. A genius when it comes
to thievery, he prepares intricate plans to steal the treasure he wants and
executes them with a mix of brilliance and flair. Also know as "Red the
Elusive".
Black Eagle Ranger
Details: The youngest of the Mighty Multi-Colored Bald Eagle Rangers. His
eagle tattoo is black. When it's time to make a clean getaway, he takes up the
rear, diverting attention with his bombastic behavior. Out of the four
brothers, he is the one seen most often. Since they all look alike, many
people believe all of the group's crimes are committed by the Black Eagle.
Also known as "Black the Baiter."
White Eagle Ranger
Details: The second-youngest of the Mighty Multi-Colored Bald Eagle Rangers.
His eagle tattoo is white. The massive cache of large props and small gadgets
he has created has been invaluable in the brothers thieving work. Also known
as "White the Sly."
Blue Eagle Ranger
Details: The second-oldest of the Mighty Multi-Colored Bald Eagle Rangers.
His eagle tattoo is blue. A master of disguise, he infiltrates locations
before heists and opens the path for the rest of his brothers. Also known as
"Blue the Hidden."
Strategy: As with every Boss, make sure you stock up on anti-ailment items,
healing items, and resurrection items. The key to this battle is to
focus on one Ranger at a time; It doesn't matter which one you focus
on, just kill them one at a time. Blindsides are your key to winning
this battle. Critical Hits from Blindsides will keep them on the
defensive. They will gang up on you, so try switching between each
character to lead them away from your main attacker; Switch back to
your attacker, blindside one of them, then attack like there's no
tomorrow. The battle becomes easier once you start killing them each
off; Make sure you have a good ATK and DEF stat before this battle.
I recommend being Lv80+ for this battle.

truly need one fighter, so feel free to use 3 support characters like
healers or casters. Sahariel's weak point is exposed when he leans
back on his hind legs, so make sure to stand in front of him, and
just keep wailing on him until he rears his ugly shiny-spot. All in
all, this is not a difficult battle; Just keep your distance until
you have an opening to inflict serious damage on him. I recommend
being Lv90+ for this battle.

care of with a close-range attacker; Shadow Arumat is a beast and
should be taken care of with a ranged attacked; Shadow Sarah can be
taken out with any type of character. Focus on Sarah first, as her
Symbology can really hurt, and she has zero casting time; That makes
her a very big thread. Reimi is the next easiest target, though
Arumat is the biggest threat. Take your pick, and focus on one
character at a time; They are merely copies of your characters, so
their abilities should come as no surprise.

at a time. They aren't very difficult so long as you keep your
distance, constantly blindside, and keep a healer in the corner to
help you stay alive. Make sure you have a high DEF stat for this
fight, as they can potentially hit you very hard. I recommend being
Lv95+ for this battle.

tough battle compared to the other bosses on the other levels.
Always make sure to take of the Sydonaists that he spawns first.
Battling him 4 on 1 is much easier than having a swarm of minions
coming after you while you try to focus. Beware of his Rage
Reflection, and always keep a healer or two in each of the corners of
the battlefield. Resurrection items will save your butt if you're
having trouble. Keep the heat on him, and use Rush Combos at any
chance you get. I recommend being Lv95+ for this battle.

Strategy: As with every Boss, make sure you stock up on anti-ailment items,
healing items, and resurrection items. This boss is simple, but he
can hit hard, so keep a healer or two in the corners of the battle
area. Spam your Rush Combos at every chance, and nail his weak point
when he reveals it. Blindsiding this Boss is also very effective. I
recommended being Lv100+ for this battle.

Once you defeat the boss and have your Star Dipper, raid the area of it's
chests to find the (arguably) best skill in the game "Duplication". For the
cost of 1 - 11 magical clay (at Lv10 maxed), you can Duplicate any item in the
entire game except for Skill Manuals, Celestial Feathers, and Living Creatures.
You can farm Magical Clay in the Sanctuary by taking the teleporter there;
Simply return to the Calnus on Nox when you need to respawn the Nodes. Now
that you can duplicate, you can abuse the Item Creation to it's fullest extent.
Once you have at least 1 of every Ingredient, you effectively have infinite
Item Creation Ingredients. Make sure to look over the Ingredient FAQ to find
them all:

EXP Given------: 400,000
FOL Given------: 3,776
Resistant To---: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Light, Dark
Weak Against---: No Element
Drops----------: Gabriel Celeste's Feather
Details: A divine messenger waiting deep inside the Cave of the Seven Stars,
charged with punishing and destroying the proud and boastful. He uses his
spear and variety of hand-to-hand moves to attack. When he sees his opponent
is among the strongest in the land, he bathes himself in the lightning of the
gods, making himself all the more powerful. After that, all that remains is
for him to thrust his spear until his adversary is defeated.
Estimated Hit Points:
2 Wing 4,800,000 HP (Galaxy), 6,240,000 HP (Universe), 8,160,000 HP (Chaos)
4 Wing 9,600,000 HP (Galaxy), 12,480,000 HP (Universe), 16,320,000 HP (Chaos)
6 Wing 14,400,000 HP (Galaxy), 18,720,000 HP (Universe), 24,480,000 HP (Chaos)
Strategy: This guy is one tough cookie; He is the second hardest Boss in the
entire game. First of all, go stock up on healing and resurrection
items. Resurrection Units are of great use here, as they have a
party-revive effect. Duplicate them if you don't have enough base
materials to create 20. You're going to want to Synth some nice gear
to defeat him, but heed my warning, do not use any weapon that has
an elemental attack; Gabriel is immune to elements and your weapon
will do 0(zero) damage if you bring one like that. Gabriel can be
defeated without Synthed equipment, but it makes him so much easier.
Here is my list of equipment suggestions:
WEAPON:
Increases critical hit chance
HP Damage +35%
Adds Stun Effect to Weapon
MP cost -25% in battle (or ATK +18% if ATK is not maxed)
ARMOR:
Nullifies HP Damage 25% of the time
Increases chance of surviving incap via fury
Restores 3% of HP periodically in battle (or DEF +20% if DEF is not maxed)
Restores 3% of HP periodically in battle (or HP +20% if HP is not maxed)
NECK ACCESSORY:
Grants immunity to paralysis [Base Item: Anti-Paralysis Amulet]
Grants immunity to stun status
Increases chance of surviving incap via fury (or DEF +20% if DEF is not maxed)
Increases critical hit chance (or HP +20% if HP is not maxed)
WRIST ACCESSORY:
Adds one hit chance per attack [Base Item: Slayer's Bangle]
Restores 2% of HP periodically in battle
MP cost -15% in battle (or DEF +20% if DEF is not maxed)
Increases critical hit chance (or HP +20% if HP is not maxed)
Strategy: (Continued)
Gabriel is vulnerable to Stun status; He inflicts Paralysis and Stun.
Make sure to bring a weapon that inflicts his weakness, and also be
sure to grant yourself immunity to his ailment attacks. Make a few
Otherworldly Cuisines (food), which have the "anti-targeting" effect;
This prevents Gabriel from targeting you, and is a great thing to
feed to your healers. Bring two healers; In their spell menu, use
the X button to turn off all offensive spells/symbology except for
the effective healing spells; This prevents the healers from dashing
into combat; They instead hang back and just heal you.
Stick your healers in the corners of the battlefield, in opposite
corners; This way, if most of your party dies, at least one healer
will survive, allowing you to resurrect everyone.
There are two effective ways of killing Gabriel. The first is just
spamming Rush Combos and avoiding his attacks. During a Rush Combo,
the enemy can not attack, and you are capable of dishing out damage
in the millions. If you're using this strategy, set everyone to
BEAT:B to keep your rush gauge filling fast.
The other way is using Blindsides and then mercilessly attacking him.
Meracle is most effective against him, as her blindside animation
makes her nearly invincible; Her X-claws chained together dish out
ungodly amounts of damage. Because he is vulnerable to Stun and
Knockdown, getting Critical Hits and Blindsiding him is extremely
effective, as he is always taking double damage, being flung around
in the air, or standing there being stunned. One player has even
solo-ed Gabriel with Meracle at Lv60 with the blindsiding tactic, so
consider using it during your encounter. If you are using this
tactic, set your blindsiding character to BEAT:S and everyone else to
BEAT:B.
When he gets down to critical HP, he goes all out against you, so
expect to die; Have your healers ready with resurrection items and
just keep dishing out the damage as quickly as you can. Because you
can save right before this battle by exiting the dungeon and
returning, this battle is easy to learn from. Try out a strategy,
and if it doesn't work like you would like, try another. Fiddle
around with your equipment and use what works best for you.
Beat him in his 2-winged form, and he becomes a 4-winged Gabriel.
Beat him in his 4-winged form, and he becomes a 6-winged Gabriel.
He remains in 6-winged form for the rest of your playthrough.

| | FOL/EXP Trick - [LOTOF$$] | |
|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
On Floors 6 and 7 of the Seven Star Dungeon roam an enemy called the Metal
Scumbag. These enemies offer insane amount of experience if you can defeat
them, and can be used to trick the game into maxing your fol at 99,999,999 in
under 10 minutes. You'll want to read the Synth FAQ to understand the Overflow
Trick and how to create customized gear with multiple EXP and/or FOL Factors.
The EXP trick:
This one isn't really a trick; It's merely creating the right Equipment, and
slaughtering Metal Scumbags over and over using Meracle's Ocarina to respawn
them. You'll want Weapons for everyone with 4 Factors, all being +20% EXP,
and you'll want to same Factors on both of your Accessories (only 3 Factors
are choosable on ACCs). This brings a total of 10 Factors granting extra EXP
per character. Use those on all 4 characters in your party for a total of 40
Factors granting extra EXP. Go out into an area with weak enemies and get
Critical Hits (Critical Hit Skill or Blindsides) to get extra Blue Tiles on
your Bonus Board, which also grant extra EXP. Once you have these insane
modifiers, go slaughter the Metal Scumbags for around 5 levels per fight. Use
Bacchus' "Black Hole Sphere" to keep them from fleeing.
The FOL trick:
This requires gear that grants everyone +40% Fol on all of their Weapon's
Factors, as well as their Accessories' Factors. Maxing out the bonus board
with Yellow Tiles (Get Multi-Kills) also helps greatly.
This trick requires a bit of setup. You will need:
-To set everyone in your party to "Don't do anything" via the Tactics menu.
-Make sure Bacchus' Black Hole Sphere is set to one of the triggers.
-Wear FOL gear on everyone.
-Have very protective armor on everyone
The basic idea behind this trick is this: Metal Scumbags have 2 unique skills
that other enemies do not; "Steal" and "Escape". "Steal" allows them to steal
a certain percentage of your FOL and "Escape" allows them to flee battle with
it. If you manage to kill a Metal Scumbag after it steals FOL from you, you
get all of the FOL back, but here's the catch- You get it all back, but any
multipliers you have add to the amount you get back. The more they steal, the
more you get back.
For this to work, we need to allow the Scumbags to steal from you, we need to
keep them alive to do so, we need to survive their attacks, and we need to
prevent them from ever escaping.
Survival is easily accomplished by wearing your best armor. Since Armor can
not have any +FOL Factors, feel free to Synth anything you want to it. +DEF
Factors are suggested.
The easiest way to prevent the Scumbags from fleeing battle is to use Bacchus'
Black Hole Sphere skill. This keeps the Scumbags in a constant attack state
until they hit rush mode. Since you're using a weak weapon with only +FOL
Factors on it, you shouldn't be able to kill them very fast, and that is good.
Have Bacchus continue to spam Black Hole Sphere during the entire battle. Once
a Scumbag reaches Rush Mode, they will be immune to the knockback of the skill,
and will start attacking and/or stealing FOL from you. They will not try to
escape during Rush Mode. Whether they steal from you or not is up to pure
luck, so put your hands together and pray. Once they exit Rush Mode, keep
spamming Black Hole Sphere until they enter Rush Mode again. Keep this up
until they have stolen a huge amount of money from you. Once you're ready to
kill them, switch everyone's tactics to "Fight freestyle!" so they'll begin
the slaughter. Since you have weak weapons, it may take a few minutes, but
you will prevail.
The Scumbags steal FOL based on a percentage of your total, so you will need
to fight around 5 battles, 10 minutes each, to get your FOL up in increments,
enough that they will eventually be stealing 99,999 FOL each attempt. Once it
reaches that point, a single 10 minute battle will net you around 50 million
FOL. 99,999,999 FOL is the max, so have fun and enjoy!

The backside of the platform that Gabriel Celeste resides on in the Inner
Sanctum of the Cave of the Seven Stars is a chest that contains the Water Ring.
This ring is capable of dousing the Fire Chests so you can claim their prizes.
You do not need to defeat Gabriel to claim this ring; You can simply grab it
and leave if you choose.
There are only 4 Fire Chests in the game, and here they are:
Fire Chest #01: Palace of Creation (Area 6)
Contains *2 Intelligence Seeds
Fire Chest #02: Top floor of the Purgatorium in the room sealed with the
Darkness Barrier.

Once you defeat Gabriel Celeste, Bargo will appear in the Old Road to Sanctuary
right next to the elevator.
Speak to him and he will send you in to the dungeon.
The Wandering Dungeon has a few unique features that set it apart from any
other dungeon.
- Every floor in the dungeon is randomly generated from a pre-selected group
of room types
- There are no Save Points in the dungeon
- You can exit the dungeon from any floor, but you can not return to previous
floors
- All treasure chests are randomly placed and contain random items
- Bosses/Santa can spawn in one of five types of rooms;

- Every odd numbered floor has a quest to complete
- Every even numbered floor has a boss to defeat

================================================================
Even Numbered Floors after Floor 20 repeat Floor 20 exactly, indefinitely.
Odd Numbered Floors after Floor 20 repeat Floor 19 exactly, indefinitely.
Each floor has an obelisk; This obelisk is the entrance to the next floor.
On Even Numbered floors, the obelisk will give you one only one quest:
"Show us a Seraphic Doll"
-For this quest, you must defeat the Boss of the floor. The Boss will always
drop a Seraphic Doll. Simply defeat the Boss, bring it back to the obelisk,
and it will transform into the entrance to the next floor.
On Odd Numbered floors, the obelisk will give you one of three quests:
Obelisk Quest #1: "Defeat our assassins"
-As soon as the obelisk gives you this quest, you are sent into a battle with
multiple ambushes. You must survive and defeat all of the enemies to be
allowed to move on. Once you win, the obelisk will transform into the
entrance to the next floor.
Obelisk Quest #2: "Destroy the abhorrent crystals"
-For this task, you must go around destroying elemental crystals with your
Disintegration Rings until there are none remaining. You will know that this
is your quest before you even get to the obelisk because these crystals will
be in every room. Lymle's "Charge" skill can recharge your Rings at the cost
of Disintegration Stones. Once you destroy every crystal, the obelisk will
transform into the entrance to the next floor. If you run out of Stones to
recharge your Rings, you can always find them from certain enemies as drops.
Here is a list of those drops:
===============================================================================
Floors Number-: Monster Race Type of drop
--------------- ------------------ ------ ---------------------
Floors 01 - 05: Jade Golem - Demon - Regular Drop (Common)
Floors 06 - 10: Ghostkeeper - Undead - Regular Drop (Rare)
Floros 11 - 15: Damascus Fort - Demon - Regular Drop (Common)
Floors 16 - 20: Bloodtail - Insect - Regular Drop (Common)
Floors 16 - 20: Dominator Dragon - Demon - Regular Drop (Rare)
===============================================================================
Obelisk Quest #3: "Bring us (8-18) Geostones"
-The task here is to bring back a random number of Geostones (8 through 18) to
the obelisk. Every enemy in the Wandering Dungeon (except Hell Clowns) drop
them as an -ology drop (with the Dominator Dragon being the exception,
dropping it as a normal drop). Every character has a special skill that
allows enemies of certain types to drop their rarest drop. Once you bring
back the required number of Geostones, the obelisk will transform into the
entrance to the next floor. Here is a list of every enemy that drops
Geostones, and which character/skill you need to obtain that Geostone drop.
===============================================================================
Floors Number-: Monster Race Type of drop Character

===============================================================================
Do keep in kind that all monsters appear as dark ghosts on the main map, so you
never know what you'll be facing. If you find a group/mob of monsters that you
want to fight again, simply use Meracle's Ocarina skill to respawn them.

| | Santa - [PRSNTS!] | |
|~|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|~|
Once you get to Floor 08 of the Wandering Dungeon, Santa has a random chance of
appearing in the same types of rooms that the bosses appear in. Here is the
map again: http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/file/946860/57168
He is always floating on a sled in the middle of the room, and is a character
you can interact with. When you talk to him, he offers items for sale.
Here is his shop information:

Most of his equipment pieces have incredible stats in one area, but have other
stats that go very far into the negative, so the trade-off is something to
ponder on. The two items that he sells that are of note are the Disintegration
Stones, which can charge your Disintegration Rings, and the tri-Emblem, the
strongest accessory in the entire game.

...............................................................................
The tri-Emblem is an accessory that is best used as a Synthesis item, as the
stats can copy over, in full, to any piece of equipment. At the price of
2-million FOL, this accessory is the most expensive in the entire game. It is;
however, worth it. For FOL maxing, see the FOL/EXP Trick section, so you can
buy 20 of these during every trip into the Wandering Dungeon. The unfortunate
reason that you must buy them everytime is because the tri-Emblem is one of the
few items in the game that can not be Duplicated via the Duplication skill.
When you have a piece of equipment that already has all four Factor Slots full,
but still has Synth Limit Slots remaining, you can use tri-Emblems to fill the
remaining Synth Slots, as the stats from the Emblems will copy over, and with
the stats being in the hundreds, it makes the Emblem the absolute best piece of
equipment in the entire game to use as a Synth item.
For Weapons, only ATK, INT, and HIT stats copy over;
For Armor and Accessories, all five stats copy over.
(If you don't have access to tri-Emblems, then Ashlay Bernbeldt Jewels have
very nice stats for Synth Stat Maxing.)
There is another item that can be used for creating an ultimate wrist accessory
that has insane amounts of stats, even greater than the tri-Emblem; It is the
tri-Emblum (with a "U", not an "E"). The tri-Emblum is an Anthropology Drop
from the Thieving Scumbags on Roak. You must have Edge in the party to get
this drop.
Here are it's stats:

Synth Limit: 8
...............................................................................
The stats and factors on this accessory are absolutely horrible; It is a truly
cheap immitation of the real tri-Emblem, but it has one special trait that no
other accessories in the game; It has a Synth Limit of 8, instead of the
normal limit of 3 or 4 that every other accessory in the game has.
If you Synth 8 of the regular tri-Emblems onto a tri-Emblum, you create what I
like to call a "Super-tri-Emblum".
Here are it's stats:
...............................................................................
Super-tri-Emblum
(tri-Emblum-RXX)
STATS RESISTANCES FACTORS
................ .................. ...................................
. ATK: + 1,602 . . EARTH----: +00 . . HIT +2 .
. INT: + 1,602 . . WATER----: +00 . . Rush Gauge charge rate +3 .

. GRD: + 801 . . THUNDER--: +00 . ...................................
................ . LIGHT----: +00 .
. DARKNESS-: +00 .
..................
...............................................................................
Notice the stats in the thousands. Normal accessories have a Synth Limit of
only 3 or 4, so no other accessory has the ability to gain stats this high;
Even the normal tri-Emblem has a Synth Limit of only 3, so Synthing together
regular tri-Emblems wouldn't bring the stats as high as this accessory can.
When synthing this accessory, you even get the first three factors of the
original tri-Emblem copied over.
This accessory can be duplicated for only 1 magical clay for every single
character in your game. For Ultimate Equipment, this item should definitly be
included in your checklist.
Don't even think about trying to use this Ultimate Accessory as a Synth item
for other items; As the Synth FAQ points out, you can not use Synthed items as
a Synth item. If you do, only the base stats would copy over to the new item.
Example: If you were to use a Super-tri-Emblum as a Synth item onto another
item, only the original stats of the tri-Emblum, before you synthed
it, would copy over. ATK 2, INT 2, DEF 1, HIT 1, GRD 1, and the
HIT +2 Factor. That is all.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Here's another little trick you can do with with Synthesis;
"Adding +20 to all resistances on your Super-tri-Emblum"
This is completely optional, but makes your Super-tri-Emblum truly "Super".
(Side Note- If you are looking to put +20 Resists to other types of Equipment,
check out my Synthesis FAQ's section about Resistance Maxing.)
Before you Synth your 8 tri-Emblems onto the tri-Emblum, you can 'prepare' them
by adding high resistances to them before you Synth. Remember, Resistances are
the only thing that can travel down through multiple Synths; Stats can not. If
you Synth high enough resistances onto your tri-Emblems for you Synth those to
your tri-Emblum, then your final Super-tri-Emblum will have +20 to all resists.
Preparation:
Duplication Skill - Found on Floor 7 of the Cave of the Seven Stars
(max out at Lv10)
Magical Clay - To use the Duplication Spell (Farm in the Sanctuary)
Alchemist's Cloak - Cursed Horrors in the Sanctuary drop them very commonly.
Duel Armor - Sold on EN II in Centropolis' Armor Shop.
Darkness Charm - Item Creation; Crafting Section
8 tri-Emblems - Buy from Santa
1 tri-Emblum - Drop from Thieving Scumbags (Edge's -ology drop)
Note- The following strategy can be applied to any Armor or Accessory to bump
up it's resistances, and you can use any accessory besides the tri-Emblem
that has no negative resistances. This strategy is explained using
specific examples for simplification purposes.
Step 01) Creating an Armor with +20 to all Resistances that can be duplicated
with only 1 magical clay.
The Duel Armor has +2 to all Resistances except Darkness. The Darkness
element has -8 (Negative Eight). We need to bump this up to +2 to match the
other Resistances. This is where the Darkness Charm comes into play; It has a
+4 to Darkness, and because the Duel Armor and the Darkness Charm both only
have 4 Synth Limit Slots, we'll need to abuse the Duplication Skill.
-Take a Darkness Charm, Duplicate it, and Synth it onto the original Darkness
Charm. You now have a Darkness Charm with +6 to Darkness.
-Duplicate this new charm 4 times. You now have 4 Darkness Charms with +6 to
Darkness.
-Synth all four of these charms onto your Duel Armor. You now have a Duel
Armor with +2 to all Resistances.
-Duplicate your Duel Armor (the one with +2 to all Resistances) so you have
two of them.
-Synth both of those Duel Armors onto your Alchemist's Cloak. The reasons we
do this instead of using the Duel Armor is because the Duel Armor takes 3
Magical Clay to Duplicate, while the Alchemist's Cloak only takes 1. Once you
do this, you'll have an Alchemist's Cloak with +2 to all Resistances.
-Duplicate your Alchemist's Cloak (the one with +2 to all Resistances) TWICE.
You now have 3 Alchemist's Cloaks with +2 to all Resistances.
-Synth two of those Alchemist's Cloaks onto the third Alchemist's Cloak. You
now have an Alchemist's Cloak with +4 to all Resistances.
-Duplicate the +4 Cloak, and Synth it back onto the original +4 Cloak. You now
have a Cloak with +6 to all Resistances.
-Duplicate the +6 Cloak, and Synth it back onto the original +6 Cloak. You now
have a Cloak with +9 to all Resistances.
-Duplicate the +9 Cloak, and Synth it back onto the original +9 Cloak. You now
have a Cloak with +13 to all Resistances.
-Duplicate the +13 Cloak, and Synth it back onto the original +13 Cloak. You
now have a Cloak with +19 to all Resistances.
-Duplicate the +19 Cloak, and Synth it back onto the original +19 Cloak. You
now have a Cloak with +20 to all Resistances. Make absolutely sure to create
a duplicate of this Cloak, as it will be used quite often in this strategy.
Step 02) Synth a bunch of the "+20 Cloak"s to your tri-Emblems.
The 8 tri-Emblems will be used to power up your tri-Emblum, and since we can
use this to add resistances, we need to change the resistances of them. Since
Resistances are always cut in half through every Synth, we need to make the 8
tri-Emblems hold a total of +40 to all Resistances; This is because when they
are Synthed onto the tri-Emblum, the Resistances are cut in half, down to +20,
which is the maximum Resistance you can have. For this, we will need 4 (four)
of the "+20 Cloak"s. So...
-Duplicate the "+20 Cloak" 4 times.
-Synth one of them onto tri-Emblem #1. You now have a tri-Emblem with +10 to
all Resistances.
-Synth one of them onto tri-Emblem #2. You now have two tri-Emblems with +10
to all Resistances.
-Synth one of them onto tri-Emblem #3. You now have three tri-Emblems with +10
to all Resistances.
-Synth one of them onto tri-Emblem #4. You now have four tri-Emblems with +10
to all Resistances.
You now have 8 tri-Emblems to be used as Synth items for your Super-tri-Emblum,
and they all have a combined total of +40 to all Resistances.
Step 03) Finalize your tri-Emblum
- Synth all 8 tri-Emblems to your tri-Emblum; This includes the four with +10
to all Resistances.
You now have this:
...............................................................................

...............................................................................
Congrats; You now have a Super-tri-Emblum with insane stats and +20 to every
Resistance in the game. There is much usefulness in this. Having +20 to
all Resistances grants you immunity to elements. Not only do you take zero
damage from elemental attacks; Any normal attack with an added elemental to it
will also do zero damage. In addition to this, the 'mini-knockback-effect'
that spells usually have on your characters is nullified. You can be in the
middle of a huge explosion or elemental attack, and it will be like there is
nothing there; You can just keep on walking or attacking without being hampered
in battle. This isn't just limited to a Super-tri-Emblum either; You can use
any accessory with a positive Resistance value as your base, and put it on any
Armor or Accessory in the game to max your Resistance. Neat, eh?
For information on how to apply Max Resistances to any piece of equipment, see
my Synthesis FAQ.

the entire game is capable of appearing in any chest on any floor. Some items,
like items from the "Usable Item" and "Other Item" sections, are much more
common to find, while "Food" items are less common, and Equipment is extremely
rare to find.
Each floor has a specific item that can only be found in the Wandering Dungeon,

BOSS: Prehistoric Psynard
Race-----------: Bird
Location Found-: Wandering Dungeon; Floor 02
Hit Points-----: 1,504,988
EXP Given------: 230,000
FOL Given------: 20,047
Resistant To---: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Light, Dark
Weak Against---: No Element
Drops----------: Seraphic Doll
Details: An ancestor of the Early Psynard with tremendous fighting power.
Legends tell of heroes flying through the air on the back of one; many would-be
riders have tried it since, but the Psynard has reduced them to had-beens,
tearing limb from limb those who would usurp its master's place. Seeking a
more tractable variant, scientists performed symbological analysis and
duplication to create the Early Psynard.
Strategy: As with every Boss, make sure you stock up on anti-ailment items,
healing items, and resurrection items. After you've beaten Gabriel,
this Boss should pose almost no threat to you. The Psynard has a
couple of deadly attacks, but keep a healer in the corner and you'll
be good to go. Dragon Roar him to the great beyond. I recommend
being Lv110+ for this battle.

BOSS: Ring Beast
Race-----------: Demon
Location Found-: Wandering Dungeon; Floor 04
Hit Points-----: 1,582,849
EXP Given------: 260,000
FOL Given------: 12,164
Resistant To---: Light
Weak Against---: Dark
Drops----------: Seraphic Doll
Details: A beast that guards the Wandering Dungeon and crushes invaders with
its superior strength. Its gleaming metal body and overwhelming skill in
battle suggest that it guards a great treasure, and many adventurers have met
an untimely fate attempting to challenge it. Over the years, it came to be
called the "Ring Beast" -people believed that defeating it would grant the
victor the splendor of the ring. Until a certain band of intrepid adventurers
discovered the truth...
Strategy: As with every Boss, make sure you stock up on anti-ailment items,
healing items, and resurrection items. This battle is ridiculously
easy. The Lizard Tyrants are easy support enemies to kill, and the
Ring Beast himself enjoys jumping around for half the battle. Like
the Ring Guardian in the Purgatorium, this Boss is a cake-walk.
Avoid the jumps, use ranged attackers and Rush Combos to deliver the
killing blow to this silly beast. I recommend being Lv115+ for this
battle.

whose lifespans were deliberately set to be very short, the Chimera Beast has a
fairly long life expectancy. Believed to be part of the first wave of
experimental creatures created.
Strategy: As with every Boss, make sure you stock up on anti-ailment items,
healing items, and resurrection items. This Boss has a couple of
Arch Spellmasters (normal enemies) supporting him, so taking them out
first is a good idea. Keep the Chimera busy by blindsiding him with
your main fighter, and have your other support characters wailing on
him from a distance. Keep a healer in the corner to keep yourself
alive and this battle shouldn't give you too much trouble. I
recommend being Lv120+ for this battle.

BOSS: Imperfect Armaros
Race-----------: Other
Location Found-: Wandering Dungeon; Floor 08
Hit Points-----: ??????
EXP Given------: 330,000
FOL Given------: 8,276
Resistant To---: Water, Wind
Weak Against---: Earth
Drops----------: Seraphic Doll
Details: A stronger version of Armaros.
Strategy: As with every Boss, make sure you stock up on anti-ailment items,
healing items, and resurrection items. This Boss can hit hard with
some nasty effects, and he has some serious armor protecting him.
You'll want to hit hard and fast with Rush Combos and Chain Combos to
break open his armored shell; Once his shell is opened, his weak
point becomes exposed and he will fall extremely quick. Having some
elemental resistances will help in this battle. Keep a healer in the
corner and keep your HP topped off so you don't fall prey to the
nasty attacks. I recommend being Lv125+ for this battle.

BOSS: Armaros Manifest II
Race-----------: Other
Location Found-: Wandering Dungeon; Floor 10
Hit Points-----: ??????
EXP Given------: 340,000
FOL Given------: 12,529
Resistant To---: Earth
Weak Against---: Wind
Drops----------: Seraphic Doll
Details: A stronger version of Armaros Manifest.
Strategy: As with every Boss, make sure you stock up on anti-ailment items,
healing items, and resurrection items. This Boss is the second
hardest Boss next to the Ethereal Queen. He hits hard and fast and
can kill your party very quickly. Having maxed out DEF and ATK stats
will help you immensely. This boss uses mainly Earth Elemental
attacks and abilities, so maxing out your Earth Resistance will help
you immensely by granting you immunity to 90% of the attacks. The
Bloodtail Minions that he summons are also very deadly, but Earth
Resistance/Immunity will also protect you from them. The trick to
defeating this nasty spider is having a high ATK stat, and constantly
blindsiding him; His tail is his weak point, and attacking it will
inflict huge damage on him. Consider leaving the dungeon if you are
not at least Lv130+, because this boss really can kill you, and you
could potentially loose many hours worth of gameplay by dying down
here. Keep the minions under control by slaughtering them, as they
are more dangerous than the actual boss himself. Make sure you have
one or two healers in the corners with resurrection items on hand for
critical moments. As stated before, Lv130+ is my recommendation for
this Boss. Be ready for a hard battle.

BOSS: Runaway Dragon
Race-----------: Demon
Location Found-: Wandering Dungeon; Floor 12
Hit Points-----: 3,836,566
EXP Given------: 16,852
FOL Given------: 390,000
Resistant To---: Fire, Wind, Thunder
Weak Against---: Earth, Water
Drops----------: Seraphic Doll
Details: A stronger version of a Dragon.
Strategy: As with every Boss, make sure you stock up on anti-ailment items,
healing items, and resurrection items. The Runaway Dragon is simply
a beefed up version of the Undying Dragon, so expect a long, drawn
out battle. This guy has a lot of life, but isn't too threatening.
Keep healers in the corners, Critical Hit him at every chance, and
spam your Rush Combos like there's no tomorrow. Avoid him when he
goes into rush mode or when he flies into the air for his earthquake
attack. I recommend being Lv135+ for this battle.

BOSS: Kokabiel Risen
Race-----------: Other
Location Found-: Wandering Dungeon; Floor 14
Hit Points-----: ??????
EXP Given------: 439,972
FOL Given------: 42,480
Resistant To---: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Light
Weak Against---: Dark
Drops----------: Seraphic Doll
Details: A stronger version of Kokabiel.
Strategy: As with every Boss, make sure you stock up on anti-ailment items,
healing items, and resurrection items. This Boss is child's-play.
Other than a few boosted stats, this boss is exactly the same as the
Kokabiel you fought in the Sanctuary. Use Area-of-Effect spells to
take out the Kokabiel Spawns, then focus on Blindsiding Kokabiel and
Critical Hitting him until he falls. There aren't very many horribly
damaging attacks that he can use on you, so don't worry too much.
Keep a healer in the corner if you need the extra support. I suggest
being Lv140+ for this battle.

Details: Shadow doppelgangers of your party...
Strategy: As with every Boss, make sure you stock up on anti-ailment items,
healing items, and resurrection items. This is a pretty easy battle;
Your characters should be at a high enough level that these Shadow
Clones will barely damage you. They have very low Hit Points, and
Arumat's Dragon Roar can wipe them out in just over a minute. If
you're having trouble, make sure to kill Shadow Myuria first; Her
symbology can be dangerous. Keep a healer on the sidelines; I
recommend being Lv145+ for this battle.

Details: Shadow doppelgangers of your party...
Strategy: As with every Boss, make sure you stock up on anti-ailment items,
healing items, and resurrection items. As with the previous Shadow
Clones, these ones are very easy to kill. These three are the
weakest of the bunch, and you should have absolutely no trouble here.
Rush Combos will typically take out each character as soon as you
use them. Blindside them if you need to, just be careful of Lymle's
symbology; She can be dangerous. I recommend being Lv150+ for this
battle.

BOSS: Ethereal Queen
Race-----------: Other
Location Found-: Wandering Dungeon; Floor 20
Hit Points-----: ??????
EXP Given------: 900,000
FOL Given------: 4,449
Resistant To---: Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, Thunder, Light, Darkness
Weak Against---: No Element
Drops----------: Seraphic Doll
Details: The ultimate angel of destruction, granted absolute, overwhelming
strength. The blistering scythe she wields is just the beginning; If she deems
her opponent worthy, she wreaths herself in the flames of destruction and
begins a devastating run of carnage. She often unleashes her emotions, making
her destruction all the more complete. Those explosions of emotion become more
frequent over time, until at last they become permanent...
Estimated Hit Points:
2 Wing 13,000,000 HP (Galaxy), 16,900,000 HP (Universe), 22,100,000 HP (Chaos)
4 Wing 26,000,000 HP (Galaxy), 33,800,000 HP (Universe), 44,200,000 HP (Chaos)
6 Wing 39,000,000 HP (Galaxy), 50,700,000 HP (Universe), 66,300,000 HP (Chaos)
Strategy: This is the hardest battle in the game; and it plays out much the
same way as the battle with Gabriel does. She is much more
vulnerable to Stun status, and that's a good thing. Like Gabriel,
she is immune to elements, so don't use Weapons with elemental
Factors. Bring some Otherworldly Cuisines (food) for your healers
to keep the Queen away from them; Stick your healers in opposite
corners so at least one character will always be alive. Disable all
offensive spells that your healers have with the X button in your
menu; You do not want them rushing in to fight with you instead of
healing you when you need it. Keep a very healthy supply of healing
and resurrection items on hand, specifically the Resurrection Units.
As with Gabriel, there are two effective ways of killing her;
Spamming rush combos and blindside/attack spamming.
For rush combo spamming, you'll want to make sure that your healers
do not have any skills set to their triggers, as that will move them
into the line of fire when they use them. Using rush combos stops
the Queen from attacking, and allows you to dish out serious damage.
For blindsiding, you'll want to use the great and mighty Meracle, as
her invincible blindside animation allows for wonderful Queen-kabob.
Using the blindsiding tactic, set your main character to BEAT:S.
Using the rush combo tactic, set your characters to BEAT:B.
The Queen's abilities can mostly be nullified with maxed out DEF and
protective equipment Factors; however, she has a spell called
"Supernova" which will kill everyone within a huge radius around her.
The area of effect is nearly half the battlefield, so make darn sure
to have 2 healers, one in each opposite corner. Many times during
the battle, 3 of your characters will die, so having a fourth
character in an opposite corner able to throw in a Resurrection Unit
to revive your party is a must. When she gets down to 50% health,
she will start spamming it quite frequently, so be prepared.
I suggest the following Battle Skills: Critical Hit, Survive Incap
via Fury, No Guard, Auto-Healing. Any combination of those are great
to use, but I recommend that everyone have Auto-Healing.
When the Queen gets to 5% health, she goes into Perma-Rush mode, and
unleashes her most deadly attacks constantly, so try to keep her in
a Rush Combo until she dies. This battle will take a long while to
finish, so be prepared for a battle that will last, because it won't
be easy without a lot of practice, and with a 5 hour trip down to
just face her, preparation is just as valuable as practice, so Synth
your best equipment and prepare for the battle of all battles.
Here are my suggestions for equipment versus the Queen; take note,
that if you aren't using the tri-Emblem stat-maxing method to max
out your stats, then replace some of my Factors with ATK +18% or
DEF +20%. I very much recommend finding Santa, buying tri-Emblems,
and maxing your stats before trying to face the Queen.
My Suggestions:
WEAPON:
Increases critical hit chance
HP Damage +35%
Adds Stun Effect to Weapon
MP cost -25% in battle
ARMOR:
Nullifies HP Damage 25% of the time
Increases chance of surviving incap via fury
Restores 3% of HP periodically in battle
Restores 3% of MP periodically in battle
NECK ACCESSORY:
Grants immunity to paralysis [Anti-Paralysis Amulet]
Increases chance of surviving incap via fury
Grants immunity to stun status
Rush Gauge charge rate +2
WRIST ACCESSORY:
Restores 2% of HP periodically in battle [Base Item: Healing Band]
Increases chance of surviving incap via fury
MP cost -15% in battle
Increases critical hit chance
...............................................................................
Once you beat the Queen, congratulations! You've truly finished the game! Now
come back and face her again for an even harder challenge; The second time you
face her, she will have 4 wings instead of 2, and comes buffed up with stronger
attacks and much more life. Defeat the 4-winged form, and she will grow yet
another 2 wings, for a total of 6. This is the ultimate form of the Queen, and
will take a lot more to kill than the 2-winged form. Try defeating the Queen
on Universe and Chaos difficulty as well for some extra challenge.
