  • pull the lever after the boss
  • then head back around to the hauler beast puzzle:

Hauler Beasts

    • Full speed ahead for the first straightaway, up until right after the stop notification.
    • LEFT TURN
    • 'STRAIGHT' (i.e. no need to slow down for this turn)

Arias

  • grab the chest near the entrace for berries (ripe berries)
  • grab the chest near the lord's house for multi-flask (to sell)
  • Lord's house, in the usual room, then to the blue room to rest, then back to the usual room
  • Head away to kirlsa, to the right
  • Get the jewel of refuge in the chest in the bushes here (remember, its farther than you think it would be, just past where you turn west to kirsla).
  • as soon as you enter kirsla, when heading down, take the lower path (kind of a backwards L shaped one), there is a ripe berries in a small alcove above the lower part of it
  • ADDITION: There's also a chest of blackberries near the south exit, to the west, in an alcove
  • then go south to the kirlsa training facility

  • Floor two: head up, then right, then down, then rightish down, then right, then up, then up the stairs
  • Floor three: head up, then left, then down, then through the door in the middle.

? There's an 8000 fol chest in the farthest cell

  • otherwise go to the big door in the middle of this new hallway. Talk to the young girl (top one).
  • Then head ALL the way back down to the main outer hallway on the 1st floor

  • after the first fight, remove nel from the party
  • Enemies:
    • MP kill with blazing sword

Boss: Shelby

  • likewise (be careful if you still have a 300% chain going).
  • Shelby will likely fall to HP rather than MP, so one the subs are down, maybe turn Cliff back onto Auto
  • Now, head back down to elevator
  • Then, when you exit the elevator, go down two rooms, then left, and then up through the door here
    • this is a shortcut back to the entranceway
  • Now head all the way back to arias, go to the usual room in the lord's house, then off to perterny (pick up the jewel of refuge in the chest along the way)

  • buy:
    • the status recovery items from the retail rabbit outside of the armoury
    • sell the multi-flask in the weapon shop,
    • and buy a fine gauntlet,
    • and two heavy armours

  • head out to the forest

    • Seriously, I cannot describe how many triple chains I have lost because of the stupid bandit enemy here
    • and it doesn't help to use it later anyways because you need to wait for the rocks later on

Boss: Mudman

    • Blazing sword
    • have him AAA'd by cliff
    • then a single OOXX combo should kill him
  • Cliff will have Hammer of Might after this battle no matter what
  • After this, save Ameena,
  • restock on items, in peterny, and head out to aquios

!README! !!!!!! -> N.B. DO NOT GET THE BLAZE GUN FROM THE RETAIL RABBIT! It does not help at all, and causes the rabbit to leave! !README!

Aquios

  • n.b. I've had trouble with the scene skip at the castle entrance (bad disc maybe?), give it a second before you skip it just to be safe
  • scene at the throne room (talk to nel twice on each floor to skip)
  • from your room, first, go up to the top room on 1F right side, take the second chest (jewel of refuge)
  • cross the hall & talk to cliff at the bottom of the temple
  • go down & talk to nel near the entrance
  • return to your room (scene)
  • then go to the runelogical reasearch room, scene (its in a weird spot), get the 4,700 money in the room directly above it
  • go south to exit Aquios, choose 'yes' at the scene, and exit the city
  • head all the bloody way back to arias

Bequrel Mine

N.B. From here to Demetro, it is possible to build up a triple EXP chain from nothing. Doing so guarantees Fayt will have Side kick for Albel, even if working off of minimal levels so far, 

which is pretty huge, so go for it if possible

QQQQQQQQQQ

  • In the other room off of this room, there is a 3 dragon door, with a damask plate (armour for Cliff): its not quite as neccessary, and risks getting into an unneccessary dragon fight: for now, I'd say its not worth the trouble

Battle: Security Guards

  • This battle can be dangerous because it is possible for them to stunlock you with no chance of escape
  • The battle formation and removing beserk helps a little, but basically you need to just go for it and kill them
  • Note: Fayt's long major makes him immune to attacks while running, so a strategy might be to target the farthest enemy, then long major him
  • I don't know what else to do other than to set everyone to manual and hope fayt can pull it off solo...

Arkives

  • Grab the 35,000 fol chest in the house
  • Then head west towards the transporter
  • Then south-west towards the other transporter

Battle: Basic guys

  • Power up and win, end it healed

Boss: Azazer

  • He hits for heavy MP damage, which is why I suggest the safer Hammer of Might
  • Otherwise, power up cliff and have at it

Sphere

  • follow the maps
  • In the room with the programmers:

"Speak to Shar, the person on the West side of the room and she'll tell you to get items from her sister." "Go to the girl sitting in the seat at the Northeast and she'll give you Blueberries, Blackberries, Fruity Potion, Vendurous Potion, Resurrection Elixir, and AI Program. Talk to her again to open a shop"

  • This shop is helpful because its your last chance to shop for good items

Boss: Whip Guy and Rocket Dude (hell if I know their actual names)

  • The rocket guy is your main priority, as if you leave him, he will demolish you
  • Power up cliff, and go directly for him (from now on, using power up first is implicit)
  • Alt: use fayt, since he can long major to get in close faster/safer
  • One the rocket guy is down (~67,000 HP), the other guy is cake, especially with Hammer of Might (Aerial Assault is a little risky because it gets too close)
  • Then, after this shop up (as mentioned before), and finish following the maps
  • Fayt: (beserk)

    • L-minor : Side Kick
    • S-major : Side Kick

  • Sequence of 3 boss battles:

Boss: Proclaimer

  • Same as before, except now you should have Aerial assault
  • otherwise, about the same, be careful to try ending the battle off healed

Boss: Enforcer

  • This guy has a crazy-ass 'spider' spell that can demolish you if you're trying to hit him from above
    • i.e. using Aerial assault
  • Therefore, if you see him casting, RUN AWAY, don't try to break it, as he _will_ get it off, and it _will_ hurt
  • Using Maria or Fayt instead of Cliff might be a better idea as they are safer attackers

Boss: Convictor

  • He has a 'black-hole'-ish spell that can wipe you out if you're not careful,
  • He also has a lot of attacks that hit out in front
  • Getting behind him might help..., needs experimenting in any case

Styx

  • Just head back following the map
  • N.B. By now, your Attack on everyone should be ~5, and Hp should be ~7


Diplo

  • TODO: I can't remember the scene trigger,

Back on Elicore II

  • Head to Aquios, to the throne room for a scene (Do not forget to do this first)
  • Then, head to Kaddahn:
  • Fayt: (beserk)
    • S-minor : Side Kick
    • L-minor : Side Kick
    • S-major : Side Kick
    • L-major : Side Kick
    • Supp  : First Aid
    • Supp  : No guard
  • Cliff: (beserk)
    • S-minor : Aerial Assault -> or Sphere of Might according to DrkHades
    • L-minor : (None)
    • S-major : Aerial Assault
    • L-major : (None)
    • Supp  : No guard
  • Maria: (beserk)
    • S-minor : Scatter Beam
    • L-minor : Scatter Beam
    • S-major : Scatter Beam
    • L-major : Scatter Beam
    • Supp  : Common support symbols

Boss: Lesser Eye

  • Fuck me, this is a dumb fight, he has twice as much HP as anyone before him, and he can heal himself partway through
  • Basically, if you see 'Fear Circle' begin cast, Scatter, and get ready for the fight to take much longer
  • Scatter beam is a very good time, but Aerial Assault is faster

...TODO...
