Vanguard III

Get 100% completion in pesotto forest
Get the 600 fol chest in whipple, and the jewel of refuge in norton's hideout

In the ruins of coffir, get into and win a single battle to build up the triple exp gauge
- Be aware of the gauge at all times, and only use minor attacks when it is close to filling

Norton's Goons

- If all goes to plan, you'll get triple EXP in this fight
  - make sure you get it, and DO NOT LOSE IT
- Also, make sure you kill all 3 of them
  - they tend to have a higher probability of running away if their HP is low, so focus on killing 1 at a time before moving onto another

Be careful not to lose the triple chain between here and norton

Boss: Norton

- You will need to keep triple EXP through this battle to get blazing sword, be careful
- Immediately set both fayt and cliff to manual
- Have cliff stunbait him, and then toss him w/ fayt's long major
- Then, try to alternate fayt short major and cliff short minor to juggle him
  - trick: do not use cliff's short minor too early, hit it as late as possible, otherwise it won't hit norton at all

get the -30% hp usage item from the mayor when you're ready to leave Whipple (to sell)

Stun-bait with Cliff
Blazing sword w/ Holy Sword requires 1 minor hit to kill

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

Hauler Beasts

take a 'steady' one, and here's the basic route:
- 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)
- Slow down for a turn just after the stop notification
- LEFT TURN
- Slow down for a turn just after the warning notification
- LEFT TURN
- Full speed ahead, slow down just as you break the second set of barricades
- LEFT TURN
- Then speed up to the end

Bequerel Mountains

Mountain path: the route to arias is farther north than you'd think, just not as north as barr

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
Change party formation to loose line

Kirlsa training center

as soon as you enter, there's a fight
Floor one: go all the way around the outside until the red door place.

 ? Pick up the dagger for nel in that room --> if using nel

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
Then go north up to the elevator (scene+fight)

Fayt: (Manual, controlled)

- L-major : (none)
Nel: (Manual)
- S-minor : (none)
- L-minor : (none)
- S-major : (none)
- L-major : (none)

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)

Peterny

scene by the church, then head to the hotel, then head to ameena's (its the lower house on the right side)

Get the ripe berries in Ameena's
Buy recovery items at the stand in the middle of town
return to sleep in hotel, skip scene in morning
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

Equip then on Fayt and Cliff
head out to the forest

Dugus

The forest: follow the map
talk to the fairy, then get glittering water, then talk to her again
change party formation to spear (if not already)

- S-major : (none)
- L-major : (none)

NB: After the _3rd_ falling rock section (the 2nd one that has a chest partway through it), !USE A JEWEL OF REFUGE!
- 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

go to the top left of the town to get to the scene

Battle: Dragon riders
- They can be tricky if you let them hit you with their major fire attack
- They go down in about 7 blazing sword hits, so focus on 1 at a time
- Use cliff to distract the other as best you can
- Using nel's Aerial might be worth it (currently testing...)

Bequerel Mine: follow the map

3 dragon's head puzzle (turn off all but the _top_ light, exit by the top)
head left-north, very very north

There's a 26000 fol chest in this open area here, its on the far left
There's also some magical berries you can grab by exiting the house to the west

Talk to the woman on the left at the carts to get healed (its an 'inn jingle' thing, so don't use it if you don't need it).

Battle:
- This battle can actually be dangerous if you let them hit you
- You may have to use cliff to major Hammer of Might them while you get blazing sword out,
- and then keep both of your guys out of harm's way

Boss: Demetro (dragon riders)

His subordinates go down in 3 Blazing sword hits each, so be sure to focus on them first

MP kill his minions with Fayt
Then switch over to Cliff
Keeping both of them on manual may not be a bad idea, since stunning him works fairly well, and its a pretty dangerous battle if things start getting out of hand

after the scenes, head back to aquios (stock up in Peterny if need be)

After the Ameena event, head to the castle runeological lab (walk to the people for a scene).
Head back to the hotel for another Ameena scene, then head all the way back to arias

go to the usual room for a scene, then rest up

- If Fayt doesn't have Side kick, it may be worth putting him on manual for stunning
- nel?

after the return trip, go to dion's room (the one on the left side of floor 1, bottom right of that hallway)
then go to the hotel to ameena's room for a scene, then back to dion's room, scene

Now go to the throne room, then go to the center part of the temple

Because we removed the other party members, she'll grow to lvl 21 and get Power Up Magic now

then head south from there, to the south right of this room
this is the earthquake room (you're safe if you stand right next to the breakable wall btw)
forge the Saint's Stone

then head all the way back to the room where you first headed south, and then this time head right

Boss: Crystal Cerberus

(strategy courtesy of DrkHades)
First, immediately use Power up on cliff
Then, try to stun-bait the boss
If he minors, he'll stun and that's good, hit him with a major attack from cliff
If he majors, side-step with whoever is in the way, then hit him with a major attack from cliff while he's attacking
If he tri-spikes, let him as it'll get him stunned
It should take about 10-15 combos to kill him, but this is the safest way

continue to follow the map
be sure to get the 46,000 fol chest in the second 'pacman devil blocks room'

Switch formation back to loose line
Equip Hammer of Might back on Cliff

and open up the secret door for easy access later

go to the throne room

Suferio

keep going, all the way to mosel dunes

Mosel Dunes

Going through mosel dunes: its further to the right that you'd think, and rightish is the way to go to survive via water (you only need to use the 'middle' oasis in order to survive).

watch the rock-paper-scissors scene. then we begin
head along the right side first, to the very upper right room (2 wizard beats warrior).
head left along the top
head to the top left room (3 warrior beats theif)
Get the chest in this room (40,000 fol)
head to the middle room (its just barely south of where you are now)

Boss: dragon zombie

power up maria, and use scatter beam
Alt, use Fayt with side kick, slightly more dangerous, but faster, especially if you have beserk too
he is immune to fire attacks, and getting too close to him causes damage, so leave cliff out of it

head back to the workshop, and windpipe it up

head back into the cave,

at the second room from the bottom entrace, head east
keep going, until you get to the happy dragon (short light)

head north, happy dragon (short light)

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

QQQQQQQQQQ

head back to the center area, and head north, angry dragon (long hard)
keep going north, playful dragon (long light)
hit the last block, then head back all the way south to the lab, angry dragon (long hard)

Power up fayt, then use side kick

then exit the moonbase
once you get back to the aquaelie, go to the bridge for a scene

Styx

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
North to gemity
In gemity, talk to the free heal lady
buy the better healing items in the shop

enter a planet and return
Exit back out, then its onto sphere company
Set party formation to Spear (cliff in front)

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
More useful _after_ this battle

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)

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

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
