-----------------------------------------------------------------------------******************************************************************************
1. Battle System [BSY]
******************************************************************************
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This game is your classical turn-based action game...with a twist. The Legend
of Heroes (Eiyuu Densetsu in japanese) franchise is sort-of a hybrid between
a Turn-based RPG like Final Fantasy, using a "Turn Bar" where you can see
who's turn is coming, friend and foe alike; and a TRPG like Final Fantasy
Tactics (yes, I'm one of those FF fans) where the battlefield is composed by
a square grid.
What this means in practice is that, upon engaging the enemy, your party will
be located in a square grid where the battle takes place, and your characters
will actually have to Walk towards the enemy to attack them.
Let's see what is going on when you engage an enemy in battle. For practical
purposes, I'll discribe all the screen.
+Left side - Turn Bar
This blue bar is filled with small, square portraits of your 4 party members
and all the enemies in the battlefield. The portrait at the top (surrounded
by a yellow square) is the "current turn".
Next to the protraits will often appear small rectangles with simbols in them,
which are "special bonus" that will occur to whoever falls on such turn
(friend and foe alike).
Normally, the turn order cannot be changed, but this game's battle system has
a way for you to mess with it in your favor. For more referrence, check the
Hijack Command a few paragraphs below.
This are the bonus you'll encounter:
[! Mark]: Critical Strike - Effectiveness of Physical Attack, Attack and
Recovery arts increases by 1.5.
[Yellow heart 10%] and Yellow heart 50%]: Hp heal - Recover 10% or 50% of
total Hp
[Blue heart 10%] and [Blue heart 50%]: Ep Charge - Recover 10% or 50% of
total Ep
[Green heart 10] and [Green heart 50]: Cp Up - Gain 10 or 50 Cp

[Sword 10%] and [Sword 50%]: Strengh Up - Str and Ats stats increase by 10%
or 50%
[Red Cristal]: Sepith Up - Each hit given on this turn will make more sepiths
fall.
+Right side - Party Commands
The actions available for your party, on some situations (mostly due to
status effects) one or more can be blacked out, which means that you cannot
use those commands.
Your battle commands are:
1. [Sword]: Attack - Choose this one and a small area around your selected
character will light up in blue squares, indicating how far the character can
move (the Mov stat will determine how big this area is). Also, there is, at
the edge of the blue-square area a red, transparent circle that indicates the
range of the weapon of choice the character uses (indicated by the Rng stat).
Guns, obviously, have the biggest Rng value.
You cannot attack anything beyond the red circle, meaning that if you choose
and confirm a target, your character will move to the edge of his blue-square
move area.
There are items and equipment that can increase both Mov and Rng stats,
resulting in more blue square you can traverse, and a bigger red circle to
target your enemy.
* Attack Command is blocked by the Seal status effect.
2. [Red Arrow]: Move - Summons the blue-square grid for you to move. You just
change position, not attack. Useful to get away from enemy area and line
attacks. You can also pass a turn if you choose move and select the square
where your character is standing.
3. [Strange Clockwork]: Arts - This game's magic. Select this command, and
a menu will open allowing you to choose which art to use. First you'll find
the supportive types (healing, buffing), then the offensive ones (debuffing
and attacks).
After you select the desired one, you have to choose a target. A blue circle
will surround one or several characters if it is a supportive art. The more
people inside the blue circle, the more allies benefit from its effects, and
if you move the target, so does the a-o-e, which can result in someone not
being healed/buffed, if s/he moves/is moved in some way before the art takes
effect.
Offensive arts work in a similar fashion, with the difference that some arts
are "unfocused". When you choose these arts/this art (Aerial, Lost Moebius,
for example), a red-square grid will appear over the battlefield and you get
to choose the "epicenter" or point of origin of the art where all enemies
inside will be affected by. If targets move before the art is cast, they can
avoid it entirety. This principle applies to line attacks.
Arts are generic, and depend solely on the Quartz equipped to the character.
Also, Arts take Ep to use. So, if you don't have enough for, say Air Strike
(10 Ep), the art will be blacked out and unusable.
* Art Command is blocked by the Mute Status effect
4. [Sun]: Craft - A character's unique abilities. They take Cp to work, and
are generally of the physical atribute. Crafts work in the same fashion as
arts, some are target-fixed, with an a-o-e, and/or a targeting grid.
Likewise, they range from offensive to supportive.
Each character has also access to one or two S-crafts, which are special
attacks that consume all CP and generally do great damage/heal more than
any other art or craft. You can only use them when you haveCp ranging from
100 to 200,with 200 making the crafts do a lot more damage. However, using
S-craft with 101 to 199 CP does not yield damage increase and thus, wasting
the extra Cp you have.
For those who played Trails in the Sky, things remain mostly the same except
for one thing: in this game the programmers added a nice new attack called
Chain Craft. All playable characters have it in their Craft menus (at the
top) the ability to use Chain Crafts, which are essentially combo attacks
using 2 Party members. At certain levels, your characters will gain the
ability to include more people in the combo until all party members can
participate in the beating. When you choose to use Chain crafts, you'll be
prompted to select 2 or more characters within range (ther golden circle
around the characters), and once you are satisfied with how many allies you
want to deploy, select the enemy and do a lynch attempt. You should know
that Each Character participating will be spending Cp. For a 2-people combo,
it is 20Cp, for 3-people combo 30Cp and for a whole party gang-up 40Cp Each,
so every one involved has to be able to afford the Chain Craft. Also, their
next turns will be used, so you could as well be sending everyone to the
bottom of the line in exchange of a good rush on the enemy. Chain crafts are
rather good way to deliver good ammounts of damage to tough enemies, even
with the cost involved.
* Craft Command is blocked by the Seal status effect.
5. [Brown Bag]: Items - Classical RPG item menu where your tools, such as
healing medicine and status removal stuff is found. If you are using an item
on a party member, s/he has to be within the Move area of the character
using the item for you to be able to use it.
6. [Round Blue Arrow]: Run - Battle not going your way? The enemy is too
tough? Trying to go for a first strike but missed the enemy's back? Hit Run
and...well run away, and live to fight another day.
+Bottom side - Party Status
The four portraits of the current party members.
Character protrait - Self explanatory. The expression will change according
to how much Hp the character has.
Flashing Red Light - S-craft indicator. When you hit 100Cp it will light up
and start flashing, meaning that you can use your S-craft or hijack a turn.
At 200Cp it will have flames around, indicating that you are at "max power",
making your S-craft do Critical damage (it is stackable with the Critical
Strike turn bonus).
Also, anytime you press the Left or Right buttons without selecting a command
first, you can choose to use the Trails in the Sky S-break hijacking system
to gain an immediate chance to fire the S-craft at the enemy, regardless of
the turn order.
You can also use the shortcut, by holding the Triangle button, and pressing
one of the four directions on the D-pad corresponding to the available
characters to use the S-break.
Yellow Bar - Hp counter. If it empties, the character is knocked unconsious.
Blue Bar - Ep counter. The fuel for your Arts. Empty bar equals no-cigar.
Green Bar - Cp counter. It is recharged by the hits you make and receive. If
the enemy is on a lower level than you, you will only get 3Cp per hit. Use
accessories like the Gladiator's Belt and Gladiator's Headband to gain more
Cp per hit given/taken.

2. Character Overview [CHO]
******************************************************************************
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unlike its predecessor, Snk Second Chapter allows for you to change party
members almost any time from chapter 2 onwards (save special events that lump
you with a story-specific party). Stands to reason that you should take the
chance to both level them up and pick whoever is the most appropiate for
what's ahead.
Now, there are several things to consider when building a party in Snk SC:
+What the stats of a character mean:
-Str: Physical Offensive power. How hard you hit with the character's weapon
of choice
-Def: How well you resist the enemies' claws, tongues, swords, guns, etc.
-Ats: Art raw power. How damaging an art is in the hands of its caster
-Atd: How much is a character affected when the enemy "arts back" at you
-Spd: How frequently a character gets his/her turn
-Dex: If he can hit a nail in the head, or can't get the broad end of an
elephant
Agi: Enemy attacking you? Have high Agi and dodge him, have low Agi and get
hit
-Mov: Can you walk to the end of the battlefield? With a high value in this
stat, you just might

-Rng: How close you must be to present your lovin' caress to the enemy
Having this in mind, we shall set a rank for each stat
1 = B. A. D. This stat is a MAYOR weak point/source of frustration.
2 = Passable. However, don't count on this character for circunstances
that require this stat.
3 = Average. Useful but will be relegated to a lesser role when more
capable people are around.
4 = Proficient. One of the things that make a character good. (DUH!)
5 = GOLD!!! You'll want this character for this particular stat.
Also for better choice of an efficient party, the characters will be noted
as a specific type like fighter, art-user, etc. Be aware that many characters
fall under several types, thus enabling you to help you build a good party
that can cover most areas. Next to the name will come the Types, in order of
Specialty, Proficiency and Optional (1st, 2nd and 3rd most proficient) types.
Thse are the types:
-Balance: A character with no particular strengths nor weaknesses that can
cover all tasks in battle, though never excel in any.
-Fighter: Offensive characters whose best atribute is brute strength. They are
usually bad at arts and have poor defense against them.
-Art-user: A Fighter's opposite. Most damage is done with arts, and are weak
to physicals.
-Gunner: Long-ranged characters whose weapons can hit far away in the
battlefield. They have, in exchange, poor Mov values.
-Tank: Defense specialists (a classical in many games), who are generally
slow, but can take a good beating. They offten have the highest Hp and Def
values.
-Speed: Obvious. They are the best at...well speed. They are the ones who will
get the most turns in battle, and their Mov values are the best.
-Healer: In this game, characters that have a water-oriented quartz array,
hence making them have all the water arts (which are where the heal arts are
found).
-Power: Someone who excels at crafts, meaning his/her crafts are the reason to
include said person in the party.
-[Special]: Characters that only join your party at specific points in the
game and only for a short time. With the exception of Anelace Elfread, who
joins and stays with you on [Ch0 A Maiden's Determination], the names of the
other special characters fall under the realm of spoilers, so instead they
will be reffered to by nicknames of my giving.
Lastly, you'll notice that all the old FC characters will get a new S-Craft
around Lv 71-85. Why don't I share some useful insights about those murder
pieces? Well, simply because they come late in the game (with a few
exceptions) and, unless you spend some time powerleveling with the Shining
Poms during Chapter 7, it is highly unlikely you'll be learning them
before hitting the Final Dungeon...especially if you tend to favor a
certain party. So they are only considered for Final Dungeon-purposes.
On TC (when it comes out) I'll be sure to make some suggestions about them.
That said, Phantom Raid and Dragon Dive will become favorites...when they
become available.
Thus, these are the playable characters of Sora no Kiseki Second Chapter:
*Note: Last but not least, both Estelle and Anelace will start with a
different LV depending on what level you had on your FC Clear Data.
This is the run down of the level Transition:
- LV 35 (or lower): You start at LV 35.
- From LV 36 to LV 40: Your LV carries over!
- LV 41 or Higher: You begin with LV 41 (so don't stress yourself trying to
get a higher level at FC's final dungeon, for sanity's sake!).
Mind you, there is not that great a difference, since the Prolouge's boss
will still overpower you.
I leave you with the stats you get by begining with LV 40, since that was
my level when I finished FC. Good luck.
Lastly, Schera and Agate will begin at the level you had when you complete
the Prolouge, so if you did it at LV 42 and chose Agate, it means you get
Wild Rage 2 from the start!! (mwahahaha!)

Wheel of Time (Learned at Lv 81)
-Pros: Good physical offense and defense, average Ep, Ats, Atd, speed and
range, superb move value. Her forte is fronrline physical attack, though
she can stand her ground with arts too.
-Cons: Average speed, Ep, range and Atd. She won't be your fastest
character, and of times she won't do full damage with arts (due to some
randomizer). Also, her range will depend largely on the specs of her weapon,
so a staff with more range is recomended.
-Overview: The heroine of the game is your typical jack-of-all-trades; able
to fill any role from pounding the enemy silly to using arts for both
offense and support. She is better at attack, so if she has the backup of a
dedicated arts user she will be very effective in quick rushes (particularly
with some speed-related quartz equiped).Her crafts are mostly offensive,
with only one being elemental. She has one of the area buffs that increases
attack power, very useful in boss battles. She may have two S-crafts at her
disposition, though both are single target, so it is best to use them to
finish of bosses. Overall, a good character, and since she is the only one
you cannot change, you better learn to use her fast.

Phantom Rain (Learned at Lv 85)
-Pros: Average power, defense and agility, better Ats and Atd. The best speed
and move in the game.
-Cons: Hp, power and defense, his range is the second worst of the game...at
first.
-Overview: Joshua is a speed demon and Estelle's offensive opposite, being
better with arts than with his dirks. Though he cannot reach with his weapon,
he can get there with his feet and his speed ensures that his turn will come
up soon enough to make it worth it. However, since his power is average,
there is a high chance he won't finish the enemy in one hit without the help
of his Dual Strike craft. In boss battles, he is extremely good at shooting
fast and hard with arts, though. And he has the Ep to sustain his assault.
Craftwise, he is purely offensive, with only Taunt for support. With enough
CP, he can shoot craft after craft, ranging from single target, instant
death, to line and area effects, and as an added bonus, almost all his crafts
will leave some bad status on his victims. His S-crafts shine through the
game, and can be life savers, particularly Black Fang, since it hits all
enemies and cancause instant death. Too bad he is absent from your party
through most of the first half of the game, unlike in FC. He joins back at
[Ch6 The Whereabouts of Bonds], and by then his Lv, Str and Ats have
undergone a significant growth. By the end of the game, he has the potential
to be the best Fighter/Art-user combo. A true jewel of a character in this
game.

Piercing Wave
-Pros: Good offense and defense, good move. Dex and Agi are high, so she will
hit frecuently and won't be hit that much...while you have her with you.
-Cons: Average. Average Hp, Ep, Ats, Atd, speed...poor range.
-Overview: Think of a middle point between Estelle and Joshua. She can ditch
good damage at a reasonable speed, and her arts ain't that bad. Sadly, she
doesn't excel in any department worth noticing. One could argue about her
Agi and Dex, but since you only have her during the Prologue, when the
enemies are no big deal, she really doesn't shine.
On the craft department, however, she compensates, and it is here that her
Dex really helps. Nothing is worse than firing a 30 Cp craft and missing,
Anelace won't make that mistake.
Her S-craft is good, though unlike Joshua, it only hits a specific area. Oh,
after her debut on the Prologue, she will be away from most of the game,
resurfacing only on a quest at Ch8, so write her of your mind afterwards.

Dragon Dive (Learned at Lv 80)
-Pros:High Hp, high defense, nice move value. The second strongest physical
attacker.
-Cons: Poor in everything else. Speed on par with Anelace. Dex is not that
good.
-Overview: His stats are a clue. Go there and pound them something fierce.
Agate has both the power and the leg work to seriously blitz. And in case he
is not there yet, he has the brauns to make his stand. He may not be the best
art user, but he can help squeeze that extra damage when his big bad blade
can't. His problems are the lack in speed department, where he barely makes
it. And despite the fact that he is carring a big bad blade, said blade
proves that a huge, mean-looking sword is hard to handle, for he has a higher
tendencie to miss (2 for each one of Estelle's). He is also very slow, so he
won't be getting that many turns.
However, his crafts more than compensate for his poor performance in the arts
dept. He can hit hard and send the enemy flying, literally. That can be
either good or bad, for he can push away a hard hitting, slow enemy that
treatens frail characters like Kloe or Tita. He can also delay enemy attacks,
which is useful. He is also the only other character besides Kevin who can
recover Cp on his own, though at the cost of 70% of his Hp (ouch), useful
with some dedicated healer to back him up and keep the onslaught.
His S-crafts are the cream of the cake, one being a serious bang on one
enemy, and the other a literal bang on an area.
Use him well, he can be an impressive killing machine, often taking down weak
enemies in one blow. Buff him up, and he is murder.
*On this game, Agate can be near unstopable when combined with a healer. To
know more, see the Shining Pom Obliteration Strategy.

Judgement Card (Learned at Lv 74)
-Pros: Very good Ep. Ats and Atd are on par with it to make it count. She is
gold in arts.
-Cons: Silver elsewhere.
-Overview: Miss Silver Streak is, in a cinch, a good art user with average
physical power, meaning that she can also be of use on a head-on ol' style
beating on the enemy party. She is the Agate of the arts department, she will
be blasting left and right, and she won't be caught napping if the enemy
manages to get to her before she can put her whip to good use.
Sadly though, if you plan on sending her to do some physical labor on the
enemy, she is a dissapointment. Like Kevin and Kloe, she won't be dealing
many killing blows without some form of enhancement.
Her crafts are a mixture of offensive and buffs. She is also the one to use
if you want to boost the party's speed on the spot.
Madam SD (she Is carring a whip) can dish a good ammount of punishment with
her S-craft, and if you use it on Shinning Poms on a Sepith Up turn, you'll
see them fall like a fountain.
Use her to cover Agate, and provide support, and she will make boss battles
easier.

Requiem Hearts (Learned at Lv 73)
-Pros: He carries a gun. Period. And he has the highest Ats and Ep of the
game, making him your main gun (seriously). Equip a Long Barrel accesory and
range goes from gold to platinum.
-Cons: Second worst in movement and defense department, also his speed is
right in the middle. And he doesn't have that many Hp to take punishment.
-Overview: The group's queer clown is meant for two things, to snipe and
smite. Magic is his forte, and only Klose comes close (silly rhyme) to him
when it is time to pull the fire, earth, or your favorite element on the
enemy. Get him some Ats-enhancement quartz and nothing will stand in his way.
Also, movement is pointless with the Long Barrel, for when equiped, he can
hit most of the field, and may waste only a turn if the enemy is too far.
Later weapons make him capable of using his orbal gun on anything on the
field. Only keep him away of the enemy and its attacks and he will live.
Craftwise he is only more useful. With his range, he can simply cover all the
spots.
His S-craft is not so good, though, for it only hits one enemy for slightly
above-the-average damage. But this is fixed when it is upgraded in later
levels, it becomes area-of-effect.
So put him in the back row, and watch him fire.

-Pros: Excelent Ep, Ats, Atd combo. More than decent move and speed.
-Cons: Weak and frail. Even buffed.
Crafts
-Overview: Klose (or Kloe for americans, I like that name better) is a full
time mage. Arts are what she is ment to do. She is Oliver's shadow, and can
perfom almost as well as him...with arts. She can't harm much with that thin
sword of hers, and she also often misses. And her range is the lowest of the
party. Even with buffs, our lovely, mandatory school girl won't be taking the
hearts of many enemies with her rapier.
Yet not all is lost, she has some very useful crafts, particularly what is
maybe the only way to cast a guarantied debuff on the enemy with the help of
her gyrafalcon, Sieg (Impose).
Her S-craft -Radiant Splash- is essencially the panic button. If the battle
is going bad for you, just fire it, don't think. As an added bonus, if she
has 200 Cp, it will also raise your defense power, buying time to buff the
party and charge some Cp on those boss battles that twist a gamer's liver.
She can be Oliver's replacement where arts are concerned. But don't think for
a moment on sending her to the front lines. That would be just cruel.
And lastly, they changed the names of her crafts (don't ask me why).

Satellite Beam (Learned at Lv 71)
-Pros: Good offense, good defense, exellent range and agility. Can match
Agate in damage dealing at the end of the game.
-Cons: Slow and laking on Ats and Atd. Also has low Hp.
-Overview: If Klose is Oliver's replacement with arts, Tita is the ranged
physical attacker. She may be only slightly better than Agate with arts, but
she makes it up with that bazooka of hers. Add the Long Barrel and she will
hit far and wide, helping mow down your foes. And if the fight comes closer,
she can wistand it. Her only problem is that she is slow, can't move very
far, and she has below-the-average Hp; probably why she has better defense.
She is easy to corner, and if hit hard enough, she is toast.
But get her some Cp, and her crafts can turn tables. She can expand her
range, and hit and blind her enemies, and if things get tough, she can fire
a healing capsule with an area of effect more than decent for some last
minute healing.
Her S-craft is not that strong, so when not needed, she can put that Cp to
good use.
If you want both ranged attacks and good arts, she is Klose's designated
partner. Together, they can put forward some good girl power. And by the end
of the game, with the right quartz equipped, she can match Agate in physical
damage.

Wrath of Genbu (Learned at Lv 85)
-Pros: Best Hp, best Pow, best Def. Near best Mov and Dex. He can be there
where he counts.
-Cons: Sucks in arts, and he is weak to arts. Also has to be close to the
enemy (he is a fist fighter, remember?).
-Overview: One word. Tank. Take him up close to the enemy and watch him soak
the damage like the oversized bear he looks like. That is, if the enemy can
survive his punches. Seriously, the guy looks like a bear and punches like a
wreaking ball. Buff him and he can steamroll the enemy with his bare
hand...or gloves.
Zane (or Jin in the japanese version) is Agate 2.0. He does everything Agate
does, only meaner, and bigger. Likewise, he fails at all Agate does, only
worse. Arts are his bane, and his meager Atd barely covers him. Since he
doesn't have the Ep or the Ats to pull out some of the meaner arts properly,
you can (and must) put on him a good Atd quartz to maximize his potential.
If you up his Atd, then his Taunt craft is the way to go with those large and
tough parties by the end of the game. Buff him, Taunt them, and watch them
converge on your own movable meat shield while you pummel them with faster
characters and Oliver's or Klose's arts. He even has a healing craft to make
sure he lasts through such onslaughts.
And if you want to put the cherry in the knuckle sandwich, he has a powerful
S-craft that brings out his martial arts prowess.
I personally preferr Agate over Zane, since I'm better with blitz tactics,
but when it is time to bring the biggest, baddest, toughest bruiser, Zane
does the trick.

-Pros: Has a bow, good speed, Ats and Atd. Nice Rng.
-Cons: Has average Hp, Def, and Mov on par with Tita.
-Overview: This cool, easygoing Padre is a curious mixture. He fires like
Oliver and moves like Tita, and his arts are like Schera's. He can be the the
perfect combination of the three...but only if you upgrade him in that
direction, and he will never be the equals of Oliver and Tita, yet he can do
almost all they can.
Craftwise he is strange. He has as many crafs as Klose, one offensive and one
support. His offensive craft is good, though not the best in range, but his
support craft is the reason you will include him in your party, for he is the
only one who can recover Cp to party members.
His S-Craft, Holy Grail, when used in the right circumstances, can make
hard and nightmarish battles more winnable without power-leveling or other
tedious methods. You'll see. :)

Trinity Crisis
-Pros: Average Str, Def, Spd and Ats can fullfil any role. Since Knight is
a natural space quartz in the arts dept, this character can have access very
early to the supperb Lost Moebius space art, which is a real damage dealer.
-Cons: For someone having Lost Moebius, Knight has very little Ep to use it,
is not that fast, and has as poor range as Kloe (for obvious reasons you'll
see when Knight joins). Also, unlike our Estelle, Knight 'average-ness'
can get in the way if you want this character to covert every possible
aspect.
-Overview: The second [Special] type character you'll meet. Knight is at
first only available on two fights at the end of [Ch3: A Mad Tea Party].
Knight may not have that much of a strong physical offesive, which is on par
with that of Estelle's at that point of the game, but makes it over by being
the only one with access to the Lost Moebius space art, which is incredibly
costly but also quite powerful.
On the craft department, Knight has the first full-battlefield S-craft, which
is also powerful.
My advise with Knight: choose a task and assign this warriot it.
Don't spread this one's talents too much.

-Cons: Rather poor Ats and Adf, also average Str and Def.
-Overview: This extra pistol may be used as a cusiosity, and for certain
story segments...in the final dungeon, where Gunner will join. Up until then,
this character is of no concern to you.
Gunner is mostly an offensive...gun, with the tipical range of all gun-users,
but due to some programmer sense of wickedness, Gunner is not that good at
hurting enemies when joining the party. After a few levels up though,
Gunner picks up the pace and can hold agains the stuff that appears in the
final dungeon.
Craftwise, Gunner is soley offensive, and after a certain spot in the final
dungeon is cleared, this character will get one of those usefull
Area (All) S-crafts.
Not my favorite long range character, but hey, can be of help.

-Pros: A good Fighter with a better hand at arts than Estelle.
-Cons: He is Estelle 2.0, really not that different from her.
-Overview: Kurtz joins together with Anelace for one small (hidden) quest in
[Ch8 Land of Chaos], and never again is seen in your vicinity afterwards.
He is more like a curiosity than an actual party member. He is a better
version of Estelle, in all except Def, where he can take some punishment from
some of the enemies in that quest where he joins...if you are not careful.
Since he is so little with you, you get no chance at all to see him shine,
and his crafts are not that good, even his S-craft.
Guess the programmers needed a filler and were out of ideas.

-Pros: The perfet Fighter/Tank/Power character. Use Swordsman as the tip
of the formation and watch the carnage ensue!
-Cons: Stupid as sack of bricks. Has no resistance to arts or any skill
whatsoever save for support. Also, you'll need to do something with those
low Dex, Agi and Move. It does not help our murder machine if it cannot
get there and do its business (and hit everything at all).
-Overview: By the time this one becomes a part of your death squad, it is
a sort of programmer cruelty (Falcom loves Irony) to make a Fighter, Tank
and Power combo of a character AND GIVE IT Water-oriented slots! With the
Fighter's orbment lines, which tend to be very short, does not a Healer
make.
Aside from the wickedness of programmers (or maybe a joke at the player
expense), this blade is meant for business. Improve those stats that
need so, add a Ruby Gem (by then a common fixture on you party) and send
the Swordsman to do some damage.
All the Crafts this one has will hurt something good. Plus, since our
friend here has also the HP and Def for Tank-ing...
The one and only S-Craft this character has is a sort-of physical Lost
Moebius. It will do as the aforementioned art and cluster its victims,
BUT (*cracks nuckles*) since it is a Phyisical Attack, it can benefit
from Morale/Forte and Str Up turns, thus turning it into a serious thing.
Want to use those Water Slots for something useful? Install Water Gem
(HP 5) and Freeze 2...or leave the Ying-Yang that comes with the product.
Just make use (and abuse) of those Crafts, and this one is a useful weapon
indeed.

******************************************************************************
3. Status Effects [SEF]
******************************************************************************
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like any good RPG, Snk SC has some status effects to make things more
interesting in battle. Bad status are often equally inflicted by enemies to
allies and vicecersa. To check if an enemy is resitant to a status effect,
select the enemy with the Attack command and hold down Square button, any
icon that appears on the enemy's status screen means it is resisitant. Good
status are more often used by the party, though some enemies can use them
on themselves too.
The Bad:
[Skull]: Poison - Gradually takes away health. Cure with Curia water
art/Baamu Medicine
[Yellow Stars]: Knock-Out - Ally is incapacitated. Rise him/her with Seru
water art/Celestial Balm

art/Insulating Tape
[Spiral simbol]: Confuse - Ally will attack other allies or foes. Curia
water art/Riibe Medicine

[Yellow Arrow Down + Letters]: Stat Down - Str, Def, Ats, Atd, Spd, Dex, Agi
and Move values go down. Remove with S-Tablet (character only)

dissappears when KO.
[Black Body Siloutte]: Vanish - Target is removed from the battlefield.

the Taunt craft.
[2 white circles]: Barrier - Next attack is blocked, then barrier
dissappears.
[Li'l Bird Flying]: Deathblow - Target is instantly killed.
[Blue Dot]: Arts Guard - Arts are blocked for one turn, then barrier
dissappears.
[Red Dot]: Craft Guard - Crafts are blocked for one tunr, then barrier

4. General Strategies [GST]
******************************************************************************
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First lets clear something: ALL this strategies are Guidelines, meaning that
they can be completly disregarded if they don't suit your particular
playstyle. They are meant to make a quick and efficient advance through the
game, and nothing more.
*Contributions are welcome, if it hasn't been covered here
Town strategies:
+ Speak to every person before going/speaking/activating the next story
objective, you can find books, hidden quests, or story related clues.
+ Speak to every person AT LEAST TWICE, on many occations, npcs can give
requests or items when spoken two times in a row before leaving the current
screen.
+ If possible, try to leave town and speak with the people of other locations
before proceeding with the story.
+ When buying new items, prioritize on weapons.
+ When opening slots, begin with the cheapest (goes without saying).
+ Always open all the cheapest slots for your current characters at the same
time, if you open one cheap and one expensive, you may not have enough
sepiths to open slots for the other characters.
+ When buying new quartz try to buy (if possible) 4 of EACH quartz to
maximaze the chance of making a flexible party.
+ When upgrading quartz, sell the previous version (ex: you buy Attack2 and
sell Attack1).
+ When trading sepiths, try to keep always a minimum ammount of every kind.
+ Always try trading the best-valued sepith and/or the type you have the
most (mostly earth and water sepiths).
Field/Dungeon Strategies:
+ Always approach enemies from behind. This game rewards backstabbers...I
mean, stealth with preemtive strikes.
+ Fight all the enemies in the field the first time you enter a new area,
that way you can close lv gaps of your characters and take advantage of
increased CP recovery.
+ When enemies start to give experience in 1-digit quantities, feel free to
run from every battle unless you want to earn sepiths.
+ Wood chestes always contain miscelaneous items.
+ Red chests contain higher quality items (high%), quartz and all-type sepith
caches (med%), and equipment (low%).
+ Be careful with the red chests, they can contain monsters, specialy in
later chapters/dungeons.
+ Heal and save always before opening a red chest or changing a screen.
+ Check the field thoroughtly before proceeding to the next screen once you
have eliminated all the enemies available.
+ Always save before changing screens, in case you reach a story point. That
way you can restart if missed somthing, need to level up, or perform a quest.
+ Take the enemies' level as the "minimum level cap" for your characters,
since as a rule, when you are on the same level as the enemy, it will give
very little exp.
Battle strategies:
+ If you did not get a preemtive strike, immediatly run with the first
character available, except when facing enemies you absolutly know you can
finish in the turns you have.
+ Don't be overconfident, if you need to heal, do so, for any character that
is knocked unconsious loses all CP accumulated.
+ When leveling up, or visiting an area for the first time, use crafts
often.
+ Only hijack turns when ABSOLUTLY necessary.
+ When using magic, try to always use it first with the characters that have
a naturally high EP count (Oliver, Sherezard, etc.).
+ When using offensive arts, try to target as many enemies/weakesses as
possible.
+ If an enemy has 100 in all four weaknesses, any art is useful.
+ When an enemy has less than 100 in all weaknesses, use Time, Space and
Mirage arts + Use buffs with care, thinking always on the turn order.
+ When using buffs, craft buffs often have area effects and activate on the
same turn you choose them.
+ Arts that grant more than one buff take priority.
+ Avoid using art debuffs, for aside of a few particular cases, they are a
waste of time.
+ When using area arts, try to include as many enemies in it as possible,
even if they are not vulnerable to it, since for every hit you give, your CP
will rise, regardless of damage done.
+ When healing during boss battles, try to use items first, unless the art
activates before the enemy's turn.
+ Enemies that heal, or that cancel art execution take priority in boss
battles.
+ Physically weak characters like Kloe won't often finish an enemy, so
plan ahead in case it happens.
Other strategies:
+ Shinning Poms are found randomly as partners of specific enemies on the
field.
+ When fighting Shining Poms, they are the most vulnerable to Dark Matter and
Lost Moebius Space arts, as well as Time arts.
# Shinig Pom Obliteration Strategy (or the Truly El-Cheapo Tactic): If you
are having trouble killing these obnoxious but valuable critters, there is a
sure-fire way to slaughter them in this game, namely Agate's Final Breaker
S-craft. As you know, the SPs are only vulnerable to space and time arts and
S-crafts. The second is quiet a costly method of killing them, but as it
happens, Agate has one craft -Wild Rage- that can recharge 100 Cp (150 when
it becomes type 2 around levels 50 to 55, n/c) at the cost of 70% of his hp.
At first glance, it seems quiet an unreliable way to recover Cp, but with the
help of the Tiaral water art, Tita's Vital Cannon craft and Kloe's Radiant
Splash S-craft, you can cirunvent this trait. All you got to do is:
1. Have Agate in your team.
2. Find a Shining Pom.
3. Hijack a turn with Agate and blast them with his Final Breaker S-craft.
4. Go engage in another fight and use his Wild Rage craft. You should get
100-150 Cp in exchange for your 70% hp.
5. Immediatly heal Agate back to full health with a character that has the
art/crafts mentioned before (Tiaral is your best bet).
6. Repeat from step 2. until the SPs give single-digit experience.
This is the best way to power-level in the game, and once you got the method
down, the little fellas will be falling like flies.
Obviously, this tactic is a game-cracker, for no enemy can wistand a constant
stream of FBs.
And for single-enemy boss battles, switch Final Breaker for Beat Down.
Coupled with Estelle's Morale/Ra Forte fire art and Kloe's Impose, even tough
crackers like the Ancient Dragon on [Ch5 That Which One Must Protected]
can be brought down in a couple of minutes with this strategy.

5. The Walkthrough [WKT]
******************************************************************************
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trying to make this a less staggering effort for both the gamer and me who
writes this thing, I've come up with a new format on this Ver. 2.0 of the
guide.
Chapter Overview:
The Main objective of the Chapter / A simple no-spoiler description of the
tasks you must accomplish, the areas you visit, if one is a Spoiler it will
be marked "Area X/Y/Z". Obviously, for the Final Chapter I'll be using a
special format so as to reveal as little as possible. Same thing goes to
Chapters 6 and 7. Even mentioning this may be criticized... :(
Chapter X (where X = Chapter number) Quest List:
Self-explanatory.
Listed IN THE ORDER THEY APPEAR IN THE BRACER NOTEBOOK.
MAX BP TOTALs can be found here, with [X (+Y) = Z] meaning X = normal
points if you do nothing, Y = how many you get for completing the
Optinonal conditions, and Z = total overall Bracer Points.
*Note: This info is take from
http://homepage2.nifty.com/pspgameavenue/sorano_sc/index.html
They deserve the credit.
Point(s) of No-Return:
If you find yourself stuck inside a dungeon after certain scenes,
here I'll be mentioning it.
Quest Flowchart:
A suggested order in which to complete the quests.
I must stress the fact that some quests are better left for later when
certain conditions are available, or have to be completed on the next
Chapter.
Pay special attention to the last point. If you don't find a quest with
the <COMPLETED> tag in one Chapter, it means that one overlaps with the next.
Chapter X (where X = Chapter number) Monsters:

Where and what
you'll find, divided by area.
Chest Monsters will have a (TR) next to their names. Quarries will have a
(QST) next to their names. Lastly, Bosses that are Spoilers will be simply

General Information
The first 3 areas, Royal Capital Grancel, Airliner and
Rolent Region are only story-related. There will be no treasures,
enemies, items or quests. All quest-related stuff will occur at
the Le Locle Valley area. There are no Optional Quests in this
Chapter, so all BP is obtained from Story Quests.
Now, even if they happen to have different names in the Bracer
Notebook, all 3 Story Quests are one single mission, so
everything you do in them counts for your total grading at the
end of the Chapter.
And I know that the quest [CH0S2] actually begins at the same
time as [CH0S1]. The reason for my separation is intended to
avoid confusion, since this quest really does not matter
to the overall BP of the chapter. Think of it as a way to keep
a somewhat orderly progression on my part.
In many ways (and as prooven by the Trails SC board) this is one
of the harder Chapters. Why? Well, you only have two party members
at all time, have only basic quartz, and there are a lot of
(hidden) mission objectives, some obvious, some not so much, so
expect to redo the Bosses several times.

Recommendation [CH0RCP]
-When making your first set of quartz skip the Impede 1 and EP Cut 1,
and don't make them until after Balstar Channel. Action 1 is of capital
importance to fight the boss since Estelle has Hard Break to cancel Arts,
making Impede a bit redundant.
-Assign roles, choose who is to be your Attacker and who your healer
for the first dungeon. As a suggestion, I choose Estelle as healer since
she has more EP than Anelace.
-Try to always fill a line of quartz first before going for the others,
this way you'll have access to more Arts from the get go.
-The Chapter Boss has been known to make newcomers suffer, one good way to
make the fight less of a chore is to make 3 Surprise Cookies. They are
your first Attack Food Item (ATI from now on) with a power total of
500 Str. Let me put it in perspective: the 1st Cookie you find in
Balstar Channel can chop 1/3rd of the first Boss of the game...
You do the math. :)
The ingredients for this Ballistic Biscuit (who cooks this thing?) have to
be bought on the Lodge before the Raid, and obtained as a drop from the
enemies in Grimsel Fortress.
-Shining Pom Locations: They will accompany the Rolling Thorn enemies in
St. Croix Forest.
Quest Strategies [CH0QST]
The Chapter "officialy" starts right after the Anime intro (I love the
opening song -Silver Will, Golden Wings-). You have a chance to do some
shopping and to make some quartz. Refrain from Upgrading slots for now.
The quartz are more important and there is only one quartz in the
entire Chapter that requires an Upgraded slot (Heaven's Eye).
To proceed with the story, you have to examine the "!" mark at the
table where Kurtz and Anelace are sitting. During this scene, and
assuming you loaded a Clear Data from FC, Kurtz will give you a
reward based on your Junior Bracer Level.
- LV 3: Gear Gloves
- LV 2: Gear Gloves and Celestial Balm
- LV 1: Gear Gloves, Celestial Balm and Emergency Puppet
- MAX BP: Gear Gloves, Celestial Balm, Emergency Puppet and
Fortune (Time Quartz)
How well did you performed, I wonder...
(I missed some BP 'cause I Killed Dunan...couldn't resist)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For all intents and purposes I'll be assuming you never loaded a
Clear File, since at the time I began this guide I had no file from
the Japanese verison of FC. Also, I always kill every enemy on a
screen/floor the first time I visit the place, and some times a bit
more if I'm going back and fore when investigating places.
Last, but not least, always, ALWAYS take the Chapter Boss' LV
as the level cap for your party. Doing so ensures that all mobs
are killed without problem, plus nets you a fair ammount of sepith.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Once you are ready, head out and talk to Kurtz by the exit on the
South West part of the Map.
S1.- General Training [CH0S1]

-BossKurt
LV - 40
HP - 3750
Elemental Weakness: Normal (All =100)
Attacks
- Fangshu: Steel. Def Up
- Triple blow. Knock back.
Normal Strategy:
Right of the bat, use Morale with Estelle, then run with both characters to
the closest corner of the battle field of your choice. This will negate the
knock back effect of the boss' Triple Blow attack. Next, use Anelace's
Fallen Leaves craft (35 CP) every one of her turns, preferrably with Attack 1
and Morale. Careful though, since she may miss even with Hit 1 (you bimbo!).
Estelle should use arts on the boss. Heal with Balms.
When he is under 1000 HP, use an S-craft, S-Break if necessary. With this
strategy the boss will take very little turns. :)
*Note: you might want to hold onto the Surprise Cookie. It will be more
useful on the Forest boss (Jaeger Gunner).
-BossYou get Heaven's Eye space quartz after the battle.
S2.- Preparatrions for Practice [CH0S2]
A short scene later, you'll be back at the lodge. Do as Estelle suggests
and get some quartz.
First though, upgrade Estelle's orbment central slot and install the
Heaven's Eye there. Get an Impede 1 for Anelace if you got the sepith and
if you can, make also a EP Cut 1.
Next, buy enough ingredients to make at least 3 Surprise Cookies (not
counting the one you have...if you still have it). Don't worry about
the 2 monster ingredients required for the recipe, you'll get them
later, the point is that this is your only chance to buy ingredients for
the rest of the Chapter.
If you need mira, trade some Earth and Water sepiths after you create your
quartz.
You have to make all your preparations before going to bed.
S3.- Midnight Assault [CH0S3]

This quest begins as soon as you go to sleep in your room. Also,
install new quartz on Anelace's Orbment before going down. Make sure
that Estell has both Heaven's Eye and Attack 1 installed on the same
Orbment line, this will give you Flare Arrow, which will be necessary
for the Forest Boss. When ready go down the stairs to the 1st floor
for a scene + boss fight.
When the options appear, choose:
1st - Wake Up (+BP)
2nd - Don't Care. SLUMBER! (nothing)
Before going down, install HP 1 and Hit 1 on both characters.
-BossJaeger
LV 40
HP 4058
Attacks:
- Charge. Knocks back, can cause Faint.
- Circle Slash.
- Smoke bomb. Chance of blind (Didn't got to use it on me...hehehe).
Normal Strategy:
One character heals, the other attacks. When one runs our of EP switch
roles.
Heal when having half HP.
All the boss' attacks hit only one target except for Smoke bomb.
Defeat him to earn extra BP.
Do not use the Surprise Cookie.
-BossYou wake up in St. Croix Forest. When Anelace asks you a question pick:
1st - Kurt.
2nd - The Attacking Jaegers. (+BP)
3rd - Some Third Party.
Now, when you regain control, check your quartz. Make sure both characters
have Attack 1, Defense 1, Action 1 and HP 1. You'll notice as soon as
you check you equipment that you are Unarmed (only practice weapons).
Your first goal will be therefore to get your gear back.
Screen 1 - Tent and Lake.

Treasures: None.
As soon as you reach the clearing you'll fight the boss.
Be sure you have all your gear back. There are six pieces in total, all
spread evenly throughout the forest.
*Note: you can choose to retreat before fighting the next boss. Kinda
like some programmer mercy in case you haven't recoverd all your
equipment.
-BossJaeger Woman
LV - 40
HP - 3455
Attacks:
- Snipe. Normal shot.
- Arts.
Normal Strategy
Cast Clock Up on Anelace immediatly and have her approach the boss and
use her Fallen Leaves craft. Estelle will act as art user employing
Flare Arrow on the boss. This will make it easier to knock the Gunner.
*Note: If for whatever reason the boss is still kicking your tushies,
This is the time to use that sweet projectile you've been keeping around.
It will chop 1/3rd of the boss' HP, making the battle shorter.
-BossAfterwards, proceed to the North exit and head back to the Guild Lodge.
When returning to the Lodge, examine all "!" marks:
+
+
+
+
+
+
blood on the floor

spear next to the blood stain
telephone behind lower counter
broken window in the back
torn map on the back
barrel behind upper counter
A scene will begin.

When asked a question pick:
1st - Retreat from Le Locle.
2nd - Seal the Canyon Entrance.
3rd - Move to a New Base. (+BP)
Before going to Grimsel Fortress, there are to things you need to do:
1. Take the chance to upgrade slots from your orbments and buy any quartz
you think will be useful. Make sure Anelace has both Evade 1 and Impede 1.
2. Go to the 2nd floor and enter the room on the bottom that was
previously locked. Check the book on the bed. You'll get the
Gambler Jack Vol. 1.
Grimsel Fortress
*Note: On the 2nd Floor Dark Room, you'll be automatically inflicted with
the Blind status on the character that DOES NOT have the Night Goggles
equipped when engaging in battle. Get them ASAP.
Regarding the ID Unit (Usable Event Item, UEI for short) you have to
use it when you reach a square room with pillars in each of the corners.
If you don't want to examine the computer (and be told by Estell what to
do) just approach it, Hold Triangel and press the R button. Voila!
Door opens. Carry on.
1st Floor - Blast Door floor.
Brown Chest 1: EP 1.
2nd Floor - The Dark Room floor.
Head immediatly to the East.
Red Chest: Night Goggles (Red Chest).
Brown Chest: EP Charge.
3rd Floor - ID Door floor
Brown Chest: ID Unit (Usable Event Item).
4th Floor - Chapter Boss.
Rest Point is here to ease your troubles.
Before entering the door to the north of the Rest Point,
I advise to cook 3 Surprise Cookies. By now, you should
have the necessary ingredients. Mind you, they are not
really necessary on Normal Difficulty, but they are ESSENTIAL
for Hard and Nightmare (not confirmed).
No matter the difficulty, Defense 1, Attack 1, HP 1 and
Action 1 are a MUST. Evade is optional, though it sure can
help...if you get lucky. _
Right before the Boss battle, there will be another choice:
1st - Smoke Signals.
2nd - Don't NEED To Contact. (+BP)
3rd - Trainees Coming.
-BossJaeger
LV - 40
HP - 3750
Attacks
- Str and Spd Up.
- Triple blow. His normal attack. Knocks back.
- Flurry.
- Charge. Can cause Faint.
- Shadow Spear. 50% chance of Deathblow. Instant Cast!!
- Tearal.
Normal Strategy:
Like before, cast Morale then go to one of the corners to negate the
knock back effect of the Triple Blow.
Next, cast Clock Up on both characters. NOW you can begin to attack
the boss with Fallen Leaves and Flare Arrow. When the buffs expire,
take your next turns to cast them back. This way you'll be able to
keep up with him (thus making the Jaeger captain eat his words).
If the boss knocks you away from your chosen corner, return there
IMMEDIATLY. Stay too far away from him and he will use Shadow Spear.
This is an instant attack that works the same as the Art, only it
has a higher chance of inflicting a Deathblow...and he does not have
to charge it!
Sweet Strategy:
If this sweet jerk is giving you a headache (as in you choose to do
your 1st playthrough on Hard). You should also sweeten the give and
take with 3 nice, rock-hard Surprise Cookies. They should do the
trick, but if they don't give sweet dreams to our spearman here
(ok, enough with the sugary stuff), 2 Moraled S-crafts from our
gal-powers will end the show. HA!

V2: In Ruan, earn 100 medals in the casino and exchange them for the
book AS SOON AS you get off the Linde. There may be some leeway on
this one. Also, not confirmed if you can get it on Chapters 2 and 8.
Still, better get it ASAP before we get caught up in all the Quests.
If you are not good at the casino, just exchange 500 mira for 100
medals and get the book with ease. :)
First of, you have to talk to Lloyd Twice, one on the Linde's
observation deck, one when you go to Ruan's South Block at the
wharehouses. You'll get Progressive Rod and Fishing Book (at the
Linde) and Polychaete X5 (Warehouses). With this, you'll be able to
fish. Lloyd even takes you to the first spot. All this steps are
automatic, so you don't need to worry about missing them.
One last thing: I haven't dedicated myself to fishing yet. Since it
is more of an optional thing (with a few situational/quest-related
uses) I won't be covering the Fishes you get at each spot...yet.
Maybe by Chapter 8 when I have all the Fishing Rods and Baits and
access to the whole of Liberl.
Ruan City
-North Block. The lower terrace west of the northent entrance of the city
(navigate the paths under the bridge to get here).
Fishes:

-All Monster quests can be completed at the start of Chapter 2, if you
want to have an easier time when you get a full, Lv 45 party.
-Sasapandas (Vista Forest Road, Aurian Causeway and Sapphirl Tower)
drop the Laundry Pole+, the best current weapon for Estelle.
-If you are not good at the Casino, just buy the medals to exchange
for the prices you desire. Aside from the Book, the Long Barrel
accessory is the most important...just a bit price. If you have the mira
get at least 1...thought it is not that necessary yet.
-Shining Pom Locations:

Gull Seaside Way - Introllmuumuu and Hyurstamper
Sapphirl Tower - Seahorse Demon
Underground Ruins - Wrap Spider
When choosing characters, Agate will make the next 3 Chapters easier,
since he's crafts are really usefull.
Choosing Scherazard will make it harder, since you will have more
Art Users than Fighters, placing more work on Estelle and Tita.
Kevin and "Knight" are situational characters, so they matter little
to the overall strategies.
Also, during the scene at the Grancel Guild, you'll be awarded with your
BP and mira from the Prolouge...so, if you got less than you wanted you'll
have to really go back to try again. :(
Lastly, if you are worried about the Fishing items, there is no way to
miss them since you have to talk to Lloyd both times to progress with the
story, both at the Linde and at Ruan's South Block.
S1.- Ruan Branch Assistance [CH1S1]
Simple. Board the Airship bound to Ruan. You will have to make a choice on
who will go with you: Scherazard or Agate. Whoever you choose will be your
partner for long, and the other will join you on the last mission from [Ch3:
The Mad Tea Party].
The choice affects the dialogs you will get, some scenes and your battle
strategy will differ greatly, since Schera is more arts oriented, and Agate
more of a physical fighter. So choose well.
Anelace is of no concer for the rest of the disc, though.
Airliner Linde
Talk to Lloyd on the upper passanger lounge. He will give you the
Fishing Book and a Progressive Rod. Talk to everyone and then change
screens to proceed with the story. This will be repeated each time you
find yourself riding an Airliner up until your arrival to Bose on
Chapter 5.
So I will not mention it again. Not that I need to.
TOTAL BP - None.
S2.- White Shadow Case [CH1S2]
You'll be prompted to speak with 3 people about the "White Shadow".
*Note: The 2nd and 3rd witnesses can be interrogated in any order,
however, the best way to do it is to go to Air-Letten first. This is
because you need to get the ingredients for quest [CH1O1], and this way
you'll be getting half of them on your journey here. Save yourself some
time.
First one is in the warehouse on South Block. You have to go to the
Ravens' place and hear their account before you are allowed out of the
city.
Save before entering the Warehouse though.

Second is in Air Letten Checkpoint. Talk first to CWO Hahn in his office at
the end of the hall, next go and talk to Nix who is guarding the gate
on the 2nd floor that leads to Kaldia Tunnel.
Third is in Mercia Orphanage. As soon as you enter the scenes play
automatically. After the scenes, go to Manoria Village and check the
"!" mark in the door to enter the windmill.
More scenes, then Father Kevin will join you on your way back to Ruan.
Take this chance to get to know his style, but don't waste your time
equipping anything on him, since he leaves as soon as you enter Ruan.
Back on the guild a scene. Next go to the Langland Bridge for another
scene to proceed with the story. During the scene that follows, when
Oliver asks a question, pick:
1st - Where the White Shadow Appeared.
2nd - Where the White Shadow Went. (+BP)
3rd - What the White Shadow Did.
You will have to go to Jenis Royal Academy (duh!). Oliver...is back,
so deck him with some quartz. Also, you might want to upgrade some
of his slots and install an EP Cut 1 so you can have more uses of the
Dark Matter space art, one hell of a usefull thingy!
*Note: Dorothy will join as an NPC in battle, so be careful she is not
knocked down in battle, for you will get an automatic Game Over.
This is your only chance to complete quest [CH1O2] with Max BP now that
our airhead photographer is around to make herself useful.
-----------------ATTENTION!!! POINT OF NO RETURN!!!----------------Be sure to finish everything you intend to before opening the gates
of Jenis Royal Academy. Once you do there is no going back outside
until Chapter 2. The quests that will be failed if you don't
complete them now are:
[CH1O1], [CH1O2], [CH1O6]
-----------------ATTENTION!!! POINT OF NO RETURN!!!----------------Once in the Royal Academy, speak to everyone. There are some scenes you
have to look for specificly:
-Hans in the Materials Archives.
-Reina and Felicity in the grils' dormitory.
-A scene in the Auditorium. Climb to the stage and it plays automatically.
-Mickey in the Humanities Classroom on the 1st floor of the Schoolhouse.
-Patrick on the Schoolhouse's 2nd floor, right by the message boards.
Once you've seen all evening will come.
Go to the Student Council Room and speak with Jill.
Go to the Old School House. Follow the hints:
1st - in an unlit brazier in the upper right part of the main room.
2nd - on a desk in the 1st floor left wing, inside the first classroom
as soon as you change screens.

3rd - on the knocked-down pot in the eastern rooftop garden. You will
get a key to open the iron door on the right side 1st floor classrooms.
Treasures
Floor 1: Sepith Cache
Floor 2: Tear Balm
Underground Ruins
There is a Rest Point right at the entrance, if you need it.
As soon as you go through the 1st door there will be a mandatory
battle. Protect Dorothy and keep her fully healed at all times.
After the battle, our clueless photographer will finally leave
the party. Heal and proceed through the dungeon.
All the treasure chests will be found inside the small rooms along
the paths.
Teasures
Floor 1: Teara Balm, Stinger II (Red Chest), Jenis Blazer (Red Chest),
Teara Balm, EP Charge, Feather Brooch (Red Chest - Monster),
Shield 1 (Red Chest), Reviving Balm, Attack 2 (Red Chest)
Floor 2: Cast 2 (Red Chest - Monster), Hard Loafers (Red Chest), S-Tablet,
EP Charge, Teara Balm, Zeram Powder, Reviving Balm, EP Charge.
Take the time to bring Kloe (and Oliver, if you rushed here as soon
as he joined you) to Lv 44 or 45. The enemies that give the better
ammount of experience are the Puppet Fraggers (for obvious reasons
you'll see soon). Once you reach the 2nd Rest point at the end of
the 2nd floor (such redundancy!) save and prepare for the boss.
Be sure to have as many Faint protections as possible (Feather Brooch).
Also, equip the Sapphire Talisman on your strongest fighter. If you
got Cast 2, equip it on Oliver to gain access to Hell Gate.
The scenes before the boss will clue you as to my addition to the
title of the Chapter. >(
-BossStorm Bringer
LV - 45
HP - 13777
Elemental Weakness: E =120, W =120, F =50, A =0
Attacks:
1. Call Allies. Summons 1 Puppet Fragger.
2. Cursed Blade. Area attack, Def Down.
3. Orbal Hurricane. Wide Line attack, knock back.
4. All-hitter art. Can be canceled (the reason I don't know
what it is...hehehe).
Puppet Fraggers
LV - 44
HP - 1144
Attacks:
1. Normal attack. Can cause Faint.

2. Death Throes. Str and Spd Up to Allies.
It may seem intimidating at first when you see the Puppets know Death
Throes, but in reality this is not that hard a battle.
Start by erradicating the Puppets. You heard right. Just kill all of
them and don't worry about the Death Throes.
Estelle uses True Hurricane on the Puppets, or Fire Bolt EX, whichever is
fine.
Oliver uses Hell Gate, or any other area art he has available.
Kloe helps with healing, especially when the boss' Cursed Blade mixes
with the Puppets' Death Throes.
Agate just uses that big blade of his on the boss, or any of his crafts
that can hit many opponents at once.
Schera rellies on area arts.
Once all Puppets are down, spread your party around the boss so his
Orbal Hurricane can hit only one person at a time. Then Morale/Forte
Estelle and Agate and begin hitting the boss. Oliver and Schera will
use their most powerful arts on the boss, while Kloe keeps him
Def Downed, heals any damage the fighters have incurred and uses Blue
Impact if no healing is required.
If at any time the boss summons another Puppet (he can only call one
at a time) remove it from the battle immediatly and resume your
assault.
Whenever the boss begins charging his all-hitting art, cancel it
immediatly with the first character available. All have the means to
do so.
#Boss succeptible to the El-Cheapo Tactic if you have Agate with you.
-BossScenes, Chapter end. I so want to fight Blueblanc! (and be cruel to
him!)

O1.- Come, Ingredient Hunters! [CH1O1]
- Available: From the moment you arrive in Ruan.
- Expires: When you enter Jenis Royal Academy (PNR).
You need to deliver Monster type ingredients to Mr Orvid in the 2nd floor
of the inn at Manoria Village. He is in the room with the balcony.
He asks only for 6 types of ingredients. Do not be fooled by the first
list he gives you. That part is meant to missled you. The actual
ingredients he wants are something else not mentioned in the
list (see below).
-Juicy Bone X2
-Lucky Fang X2
-Curative Horn X2
-Tender Poultry X2
-Fish Egg X2
-Bird Egg X2
You get them by fighting the following mobs in the Ruan Region.
-Aurian Causeway and Sapphirl Tower

Gourd Boar (Lucky Fang), Helmet Crab (Curative Horn), Roadrunner
(Tender Poultry and Bird Egg), Seahorse Demon (Juicy Bone)
-Gull Seaside Way
Shark Gator (Fish Egg)
-Vista Forest Road
Gourd Boar (Lucky Fang), Roadrunner (Tender Poultry and Bird Egg)
Give him all the ingredients requested to get the extra BP.
>Credit to Terry Gunawan for finding out which ingredients and in what
ammount.
Thanks mate.
Orvid gives you Savory Pinion X5 for your troubles.
TOTAL BP - 2 (+1)
O2.- Sapphirl Tower Photo [CH1O2]
- Available: From the moment you arrive in Ruan.
- Expires: When you enter Jenis Royal Academy (PNR).
Go to Hotel Blanche and enter the room to the left of the entrance.
inside you'll meet a guy from the Museum of History who wants
you to go to Sapphirl Tower's 6th Floor terrace and photograph
the glowing altar. He even gives you an Orbal Camera (UEI, use it
with Triangle + R).
At the top of the tower, and after the small scene, walk to the spot
right in the middle of the 4 columns and use the Camera to take the
picture. You could use any other spot, but this one is the easiest
to point out. _
HOWEVER
Just having Estell take the picture will not be enough to get Max BP
from this quest, no matter where you stand to take it.
So HOW in Aidios' name do you get a perfect picture?!
It's so simple really, and it makes me applause Falcom's ability to
make you ignore the obvious:
Just wait until Dorothy joins your party as an NPC and then take her to
the top of Sapphirl Tower. Estelle is like my near-sighted aunt, Dorothy
is a pro.
Choose any good spot you like (where Estelle says so too) and take the
picture. Then, after the short dialogue, you get the option to ask
Dorothy to take the photo and Bingo! Extra BP.
Make sure you protect her during the battles. Or better yet: avoid
fighting entirely.
As a perk, you'll be asked if you want to continue exploring the tower
or if you want to go back to town. Choosing to go back will take you
automaticaly to Ruan's southern entrance. Cool.

As a bonus, you get the Moonglasses accessory.
> Credit to randomweirdo for being patient and discovering that Dorothy
has her uses after all...
TOTAL BP - 1 (+2)
HO3.- Lighthouse Test Run [CH1O3]
- Available: as soon as you reach Ruan.
- Expires: when you return to Ruan after you finish questioning the
witnesses of the White Shadow.
As soon as you talk to old man Vogt at Varenne Lighthouse, there will
be a scene, and some options will appear.
1. Is there something you need?
2. Well, whatever it is, you need to take care of yourself.
Choose 1 to begin this Hidden Quest.
Mr. Vogt the Lighthouse keeper wants you to fix the machine by hiting
the 4 switches in the right order. The trick is to rise the power
little by little. First you can check the manual on the bookshelves
("!" mark) to get an idea...or you can read on:
The switches are the 4 "!" marks on the right side of the room.
The switches.
1. Black metal Cylinder - Activation Switch.
2. Small Console RIGHT next to 1 - Orbal Amplitude.
3. Console with a small metal drum on the rightmost wall Stabilizer Strength.
4. Big Black Metal Boxes next to the door - Connection Quartz.
The procedure:
1st set
Orbal Amplitude - Low
Stabilizer Strength - Low
Then flip the Activation Switch to ON. The machines will begin to
make noise.
2nd set
Orbal Amplitude - Mid
Stabilizer Strength - Mid
3rd set
Orbal Amplitude - High
Stabilizer Strength - High
4th set
If you followed the order correctly, flip the Connection Quartz to ON
and voila! Quest completed. If you mess up, the noise will stop and you
have to begin from 1st set.
Vogt will give you:

Shrimplet X5
Polychaete X5
Lastly, when the choice pups up:
1. Take care, old man!
2. Let us know if you need anything else. (+BP)
*Note: Vogt mentions there is a fishing spot right outside the
Lighthouse along the cliffs. It is on the western side, FYI.

O4.- Vista Forest Road Monster [CH1O4]
- Available: as soon as you arrive at Ruan.
- Expires: when you board the Airliner bound for Zeiss at te start of
Chapter 2.
Preparations: Have Silver Earring/Chain equipped to prevent poison.
Where to find: Vista Forest Road, the screen right before Jenis Royal
Academy. Southernmost part of the map (on the part where the road splits,
the wider road). The really big grey mushroom/snake.
-BossMercury Viper X2
Lv - 43
HP - 3766
Elemental Weakness: E = 80, W = 80, F = 120, A =120
Attacks:
1. Venom. Poisons target.
Strategy:
Careful, they spit. Silver Earrings/Chain should prevent the added poison
effect. Just Morale and begin attacking with both characters.
If using Agate, use Spiral Edge to delay one of the snakes.
If using Schera, use your strongest single target Fire or Air Arts.
Rely on Heaven's Kiss craft to hijack turns to get most of the bonuses.
Overall, an easy battle.
-BossTOTAL BP - 2
O5.- Gull Seaside Way Monster [CH1O5]
- Available: as soon as you arrive at Ruan.
Chapter 2.
Preparations: Have Flare Arrow. configure EVERYONE's quartz so all party
members have it.
Where to find: Gull Seaside Way Screen 2, blocking the small path right in
the middle of the screen. It is the big grey wolf with long wiskers.
-BossCobalt Saber X3
Lv - 44
HP - 2250
Attacks:
1. Bite. Normal attack.
2. Death Throes. Def and Agl up for Allies.
Strategy:
Three on two (if you do this one early) can be a bit of a problem...unless
you know what to do. The key to winning this battle without much trouble
is to alternate targets. No matter who you have with you, you'll need
to attack using a Flare Arrow/Fire Bolt combo. One character uses one
FA on target 1, then the other uses another FA. However, in case you are
using Schera, 2 FAs will kill one target, so in this case, Estelle will
have to settle with FB. The key is to leave the Cobalt Sabers within an
inch of the grave, so that you can use True Hurricane, Flame Smash,
Draguna Edge or Comet (all Moraled) to kill all three in one go, since
it is when they use Death Throes when physicals will do minimal damage.
If done correctly, you only need 6 arts and one craft to finish the job.
As for Agate using FA, even with his...innadecuate capabilities, he can
still squeeze the necessary ammount of damage, so no sweat there. :)
Ah! I l.o.v.e. fire!

Chapter 2.
Preparations: Sliver Chain/Earrings are a must if you wanna avoid the
poison.
Where to find: Almost at the Krone Pass, you'll see againt scorpion-like
thing blocking the way. That's your target.

Edges, Schera Heaven Kisses and Oliver Dark Matters.
Focus on one at a time.

- Available: After the Incident at Langland Bridge.
Chapter 2.
Preparations: Equip on Estelle the Sapphire Talisman. Every one must
have their CP gauges full.
Where to find: At the fork on second screen on the road that continues to
Air-Letten Checkpoint. A big wolf with long wiskers.
-BossAsh Saber X3
LV - 45
HP - 3440
Attacks:
- Bite. Normal Attack
- Death Throes. Str and Spd Up to Allies.
Strategy:
Similar to those found on Gull Seaside Way, only this time they are
resistant to arts, so Oliver (and Kloe if you wait to complete the
quest) will do little damage. Still, there is nothing to worry about.
Estelle Morales everyone, then becomes the main attacker using True
Hurricane. Have the others support her with healing. Make sure she is
hitting the three enemies (equip Hit 1 if you think it'll help)
Schera uses Heaven's Kiss to give Estelle turns.
Agate uses Flame Smash 2 or Draguna Edge, which ever can hit more
enemies.
Oliver uses Quick Draw or heals.
Kloe uses Impose or Heals.
Should you fail to kill them all in one fell swoop, they will use
Death Throes, in which case you have to kill the remaining ones
ASAP or they can easily kill Oliver and Kloe...and Dorothy if she is
with you.

HO9.- Election Office Assault [CH1O9]
- Available: At the start of Chapter 2.

This quest is available at the begining of Ch2, before you go to the
airport.
You have to talk to Nial in his room on the hotel and then return to the
reception to start this quest. A man named Herio will approach to you.
Answer yes and let us start the show.
You have to investigate an assault on one of the guys involved with the
election.
After hearing the explanation of the facts its Q and A time:
This is what you have to do: every time you ask the correct option
to the correct person, a new option will be added.
1. About 'Kuper'. Asking both Kuper and Belden will add 'Sounds' and 'Angry'.
2. About 'Angry'. Ask Kuper to add the 'Herio' option.
3. About 'Herio'. Ask Ernest (the receptionist). Then walk back to the stairs.
Your other party members will show up. Go back and ask Ernest about
'Herio' one more time to add 'Lunch'.
4. ask Murray to add the 'Bell toll' option.
5. Ask about 'Bell toll'. Ask Ernest to add 'Cleaned up'.
Now everything splits into two: Kuper's innocence and the culprit.
To find the culprit:
1. Ask Murray about 'Sound', then about 'Bell toll'.
2. Ask Kuper about 'Sounds'.
3. Ask Norman and Kuper about 'Bell toll'.
Kuper's innocence has been proven,
1. About 'Lunch'. ask Belden, then Norman.
2. Ask Norman about again about 'Lunch' then about 'Cleaned up'.
3. Ask Belden once more about 'Lunch' and 'bell toll'.
4. Ask Murray about 'Lunch' one more time.
5. Ask Belden about 'Bell toll' one more time. 'Belden' option added!
6. Now you must interrogate everyone about 'Belden'.
Once you've done all this, go talk to Agate/Schera and choose to Report.
The answers to their questions are:
1: He has a solid alibi.
2. He has no alibi.
3. He knew about the special paella.
And that's that. Sure wanna do something nasty to that prick... >(

2 casts of Dark Matter will kill it...and if not, there is always the
S-Craft approach! 3 battle will bring her up to Lv 50!

She will give you the key to the village's northen gate, giving you access to
the Hot Springs Fountainhead.

Hot Springs Fountainhead
This place si composed of four screens, all madde up of narrow tunnels
sporting som geysers. You have to time the geysers to avoid the boiling
dwater they spew bor it will hurt yoou for as long as you are on its area of
effect.
That said, this is not a complicated place, and would serve to close
level gaps since everything is in Lv 52.
Once you reach a small, crater-like boiling spring right in the middle of a
"T" junction, the boss is ahead.
First, head South to find a spring that recovers HP. Then equip Blind
protection and head North while dodging the last geysers. Reach the fourth
screen and automatically...Chapter Boss!
Screen 1: Reviving Balm, Teara Balm,
Screen 2: Smelling Salts, Gemini Boots (Red Chest),
Rainbow Surprise -recipe-, Blue Cashmere (Red Chest)
Screen 3: Sepith Cache (Red Chest), Machine Planker (Red Chest),
Softening Balm
Screen 4: Boss.
-BossAbyss Worm X5
LV - 52
HP - 4408
Attacks:
1. Lighting Fall. Single, can inflict Blind.
2. Earth Shaker. All-hitter.
Parasite Prima X3
LV - 52
HP - 911
Attacks:
1. X Absorb. Can absorb HP, EP of CP (huh?!)
Strategy:
You are outnumbered, so begin killing the Primas with Aerial and/or Tita's
Smoke Cannon. Next begin focusing on the Worms.
They are slow, and often waste a turn geting close. To deal with them, it is
better if you use Air arts, namely Aerial with as many characters as possible
and trying to hit all worms. This is an easy chapter boss, so there will be
no real trouble taking them down, so long as you keep yourself healed above
half HP and prevent them from using Critical turns or things could get messy.

O1.- The Stolen Sign [CH2O1]
- Available: as soon as you arrive at Zeiss.

- Expires: When you enter Wolf Fort during quest [CH2S1].
Kilika will explain.
The phantom thief strikes back...
Go seek the clue-cards scattered around the city.
1st: behind the Clock on the east exit of the city. Check the "!" mark on
its south side (acording to the compass).
2nd: in the Capel, on the 5th floor of the factory, check the
second option (Universal Tech), then the last (Bracer Guild Sign, he is
trully earning a Dragon Dive for this one!).
3rd: on the back of the restaurant building, below the 3 long
chimenies on the south wall.
The Sign is obtained by speaking with Faye at the Factory's B1.
TOTAL BP - 4
O2.- Training Assistance [CH2O2]
- Expires: When you enter Wolf Fort during quest [CH2S1].
Go to Leiston Fortress and speak with the guard by the door.
After the scenes talk to him again and choose the first answer.
Fight 3 consecutive battles against the soldiers in the fort.
You must win them all to get the most BP.
For strategy's sake, I'll be treating the three battles as sub bosses.
Fight 1 is against 4 riflemen.
-Sub BossRoyal Soldier X4
LV - 46
HP - 1550
Attacks:
1. Paint Round. can inflict Blind.
2. Freeze Round. Can inflict Freeze (duh!)
3. Bayonette. Normal attack.
Strategy:
A simple battle. The status effects are not that common, so unless you are
uunlucky don't worry about them. The point is to knock them with arts.
Favor both Hell Gate, Flare Arrow, Blue Impact, Earth Lance and Dark Matter.
If you are sure the art will activate before the soldiers take their turn,
throw an area art. At all time you most conserve your CP.
-Sub BossFight 2 against 1 sword soldier and 3 riflemen.
-Sub BossWarrant Officer Belc

LV - 48
HP - 3111
Attacks:
1. Sword Slash.
Royal Soldier X3
LV - 46
HP - 1550
Attacks:
3. Shock Round. Can inflict Faint.
Strategy:
Same as last one, only be sure to first remove from the picture the Warrant
Officer with your strongest arts.
-Sub BossFight 3 is against Cid, a sword soldier and 2 riflemen.
-Sub BossLt. Colonel Cid
LV - 55
HP - 9745
Attacks:
1. Flash Strike. Line attack, will move to the end of the line. Can inflict
AT Delay (bad).
2. Arc Prominence. Fire art, all hitter.
3. Spiral Flash Strike. Single target multistrike.
Warrant Officer Belc
LV - 48
HP - 3111
Attacks:
1. Sword Slash.
Royal Soldier X2
LV - 46
HP - 1550
Attacks:
3. Shock Round. Can inflict Faint.
Strategy:
Now we are talking! Cid is your main concern, since one Dark Matter per
Royal Soldier will remove them from the battle. Next kill Belc ASAP.
Cid's attacks are quite damaging if you have to worry about other targets,
so take care of his lakeys first. At all time, if you see Cid preparing an
art, cancel it immediatly. One Arc Prominence will knocn 2/3rds of your
HP! If there is another enemy to double tap you...
Once it is between you and the Lt. Colonel, show no mercy!
...I love this mock battle quests! (hehehe)
-Sub BossYou get a Gladiator Headband for your troubles. Le yay!

O3.- New Model Orbal Gun Test [CH2O3]
-Available: as soon as you arrive at Zeiss.
-Expires: when you report to Prof. Russel after setting the 3 transmitters.
Talk to Karl at the testing room on the 3rd floor of the factory, he is
the man wearing a lab coat.
He'll give you a gun for Oliver to test.
Equip the gun and go to Tratt Plains (and only there will the battles count
for your total) on the south and fight 15 to 20 battles with the gun equipped.
It doesn't matter if Oliver fires or not, you only need to win them.
If you fight 15 battles or more with the pistol, you earn extra BP
TOTAL BP - 2 (+1)
O4.- Tratt Plains monster [CH2O4]
- Expires: when you board the Airliner bound for Grancel at the start of
Chapter 3.
Preparations: Try to cover both Faint, Blind and Poison. Cook at leats
5 Royal Gelatos.
Where to find: Screen 2, a little south of the NE exit (the one with no
name tag). Giant carnivore plant.
-BossMantrap X3
LV - 49
HP - 3451
Attacks:
1. Devour. Normal attack, absorbs a little HP.
2. Corruption of the Earth. Area attack (M), inflicts random status.
Strategy:
Right of the bat, start firing Fire Bolt EX and Spiral Flare if you have
it with all your art users. Agate's Spiral Edge will help prevent too many
turns from the enemies and give you breathing room, while Schera's Heaven
Kiss will make the fire arts come faster. Every time the enemies inflict
either Sleep or Faint cure immediatly with items (preferrably food).
Be ready to use a La Teara to keep everyone above 1/2 of HP.
Never stop casting the fire arts, you need to make sure at least one of
them connects.
-BossTOTAL BP - 3
O5.- Kaldia Tunnel monster [CH2O5]
Chapter 3.
Preparations: Equip Silver Chain/Earrings, have full Craft gauges.
Where to find: Screen 3, on the Eastern part (the closest to the exit to
Air-Letten Checkpoint). The gaint toad-thing is on the main road, can't
miss it.
-BossWhale Frog (Female)
LV - 48
HP - 4300
Attacks:
1. Call for backup. Can call both Whale Frogs (Male).
Whale Frog (Male) X4
LV - 48
HP - 2450
Attacks:
1. Tounge. Has a 25% of inflicting poison.
2. Call for backup. Can call Fly Skippers.
Strategy:
Get rid of the Female ASAP, since it will call a new Male every turn.
The Males will mostly stick to using their tounges on you. If there are
several targeting one character thay can kill him/her rather quickly.
Every once in a while they will summon a Fly Skipper. They are just a
nuisance and will day to any non-air art you fling at them.
To kill them without much trouble, Morale and then proceed to focus your
attention on the Female. Agate should of course use Spiral Edge to prevent
the appearance of more Males, while all your art users pelt her with
Hell Gate, Flare Arrow, Blue Impact, Earth Lance or Dark Matter. She
should fall rather quickly to a concentrated assault. Estelle can join in
with Comet and Spiral Flare (if you have it).
Once the Female is gone, use non-air area arts (Stone Impact, Spiral Flare,
Fire Bolt EX and Hell Gate) to get rid of as many males as you can target
as well as any stray Fly Skippers.
With the Silver Chain/Earrings equipped this fight is slow but easy.

-Sub Boss-
Pink Sheep
LV - 48
HP - 14202
Attacks:
1. Sheep Asura Form. Myghty morphing power sheep combination!
Black Sheep X2
LV - 48
HP - 10002
Attacks:
1. Kick. Normal attack.
2. Baaaad Touch. Single traget Combo. Can casue Faint.
3. Gone Loco! Target Str Up and Def Down.

LV - 48
HP - 8386
Attacks:
1. Kick. Normal attack. Can inflict AT Delay.
2. Baaaad Touch. Single traget Combo. Can casue Faint.
3. Gone Loco! Target Str Up and Def Down.
Big Sheep
LV - 50
HP - 9218
Attacks:
1. Sheep Whirlwind Spiral Kick. Line attack.
2. Super Star Sheep Punch. Combo attack. Single.
Strategy:
Spend as many turns buffing yourself until the Pink Sheep uses its one
attack. THEN you can begin the assault. Until then, your attacks, crafts and
arts won't hurt them.
Once combined, the Big Sheep is rather easy. Wheather arts or crafts, just
keep pummeling it. Agate's Spiral Edge will give you more turns, and Schera's
Heaven's Kiss will make the arts fire faster.
Heal with La Teara whenever you are under half HP.
-Sub Boss*Note: You may want to save before talking to Mrs. Mao so you can switch
Oliver and Kloe if you want to see their specific dialogues. As for Agate
and Schera, 'till the 2nd playthrough (just you wait Oliver...mwahahaha!)
TOTAL BP - 3
O8.- Tratt Plains monster 2 [CH2O8]

joins your party.
Chapter 3.
Preparations: If you want an even easier time, equip your physical attacker
with the Ruby Talisman.
Where to find: Tratt Plains Screen 3 on the western edge at the widest area
(opposite the small lake).
-BossYa-Kah X6
LV - 52
HP - 1668
Attacks:
1. HP Absorb.
Strategy:
Easy as pie! These pests are weak to fire, so Spiral Flare/Fire Bolt EX
will chop large chunks of their HP. So would Agate's Draguna Edge and
Flame Smash crafts and Estelle's True Hurricane. Tita's Smoke cannon will
also add Blind to them, making their HP Absorb a laughing matter.
-BossTOTAL BP - 4
O9.- Soldat Road monster [CH2O9]
joins your party.
Chapter 3.
Preparations: Have a full craft gauge.
Where to find: You have to kill this red wolf to proceed to Leiston
Fortress.
-BossBloody Saber
LV - 48
HP - 6854
Attacks:
1. Bite. Normal attack. Abosrbs HP.

2. Death Throes. Str and Spd Up to allies.
Pink Sheep, War Mantis X2, Creepy Sheep X2
Strategy:
First, kill the other mobs with arts and such. You've fought them all
over the place so killing them is a synch.
Once gone, killing the Bloody Saber shouln't take to much time, and
the fact he is alone negates the purpose of his Death Throes, hehehe!
-BossTOTAL BP - 5
O10.- Missing Guest [CH2O10]
- Available: at the start of Chapter 3.
Chapter 3.
You must go to Kaldia Tunnel and then to the Limestone Cave.
At the end of the cave (where you found the antidote ingredient in Trails FC)
you'll find the client...and the boss.
-BossDivine Penguin
LV - 52
HP - 12009
Attacks:
1. Catfish Shock. Single, can inflict Seal.
2. Swordfish Dart. Single, Str Down.
3. Samba de Penguin. All-hitter. Random status effects.
4. Final Halo. Line attack, takes 1 turn to charge. inflict Sleep.
5. Teleport. Randomly changes place in the battlefield.
6. Snacktime!. Recover HP.
7. Swordfish Storm. Area attack. Can inflict Confuse.
Pink Penguin X2, Green Penguin X2, Baby Penguin X2
Strategy:
The penguin gang won't let you escape with their treasure. Start by killing
the small penguins with Aerial and other wide area arts. Then it's time to go
for the head penguin. He is one annoying bird, that teleports around the
battlefield every so often, fires a gust of wind in a line that puts you to
sleep, and uses a disco-light attack that casts many different status
effects.
As for Final Halo, you cannot cancel it, so try to get at least one
character away from the line of fire.
The one you must be sure to protect your party from is Confuse, for it can
mess you up.
This is also one of those battles where there is an NPC, and if he dies...
that's it. One annoying fight indeed.
To deal with this pest, spread your casters so they aren't together to avoid
the canceling wind attack and fire single target arts. If you have the Ep2
and EpCut2 quartz consider pelting the boss with Dark Matter Space art.
Estelle and Agate (if he is with you) and/or whoever else you brought for
close-quarter fighting should be using either crafts that hit from afar if
they can't get close to the penguin boss, or hard hitting ones if they can.
Heal with items.
So long as the boss doesn't inflict too many cripling status, you can end
this quickly.
Make sure Kloe can use both Kaempfer 2 and Lichtkreis (her S-Craft)
to expedite things for your fighters and save the day if things just go
south...

V4: Talk to Nathan in the Erebonian Embassy's Library Room after meeting
Ambassador Crainagh. Careful though, once you leave you loose the chance
to get the book until 2nd Playthrough.
V5: Talk to Connor in the Coffee during [S3.- Search for Renne] anytime
before you go to the Airport.
Talk to Norche, the green hat lady who is on the 2nd floor of the house
directly west from the road to Grancel Castle (North Block). She will
give you the Bamboo Fishing Rod. You can get it as soon as you arrive
to Grancel.
*Note: Getting this rod is essencial to completing one quest:
Powerfull medicine [CH4O9], for without it, you cannot fish the required
ingredient.
>Credit to Dieuw for catching this gross oversight! (my bad)
Many thanks to him for pointing the location of this rod.
-Grancel Port 2: Look for the "!" mark on the stern (the rear) of the
moored ship.
-Grancel Castle entrance: left/west side.
-Grancel Sewers West: As soon as you come down from the entrance stairs
you'll see this spot.
-Erbe Scenic Route - Romal Pond: almost at the northern tip.
-Erbe Royal Villa: on the north western side of the first screen (the
entrance).
-Grancel Sewers East: When reaching the first big room right at the
begining just go a little west and you'll see it.
-Grancel Sewers North: Just as you come down from the stairs connecting
to GS East, on the corner of the narrow path.
-Regarding levels and quartz, the only character you must worry about
is Estelle. That said, you can't really change her, so no sweat. As for
the other characters joining you on the last story quest, buy some
good quartz to help ease the three consecutive Chapter Boss Fights.
Grancel Sewers - Mad Snail
Erbe Scenic Route - Dinedile
-The optional quests in this chapter are mostly Monster exterminations,
with the sole exception of Blueblanc's Grancel escapade, so all can be
left for later. That said, I still recomend finishing them as you visit
the required areas for plundering purposes. If you have completed all
quests up 'till now, you should be on rank E+ and have the valuable
Machine Power quartz. This one will really help during quest [CH3S5]
if you equip it on Kevin.
-Of important notice are the 2 Gambler Jack books, both can only be
obtained during short periods of time during the story quests [CH3S2]
and [CH3S3]. I'll mention the exact times you can get them on both
quests strategies.
S1.- Lost Child [CH3S1]

Go to Erbe Royal Villa and talk to the butler (Raymond) on the main hall.
*Note: Make a separate file right before entering the Royal Villa in case
you have to redo this quest.
Now, a lot of people have been having problems getting Max BP in this quest.
after investigating on the japanese guide at nifty, and correlating it
with my own research, in the end it seems that there are 4 conditions to
get the extra BP:
1. Go to the courtyard and visit the southwesternmost room for a scene with
an ol'pal o'yours! (who hasn't learned any manners yet, wish I could have
another go at him). Doing this will make the Lounge accessible.
2. Find Renne behind the counter next to Raymond at the lounge. A "!" mark
should appear near the wine bottles.
Our purple-haired brat is there.
*CAUTION: you can talk to Raymond ONCE for some dialogue, What you must not
do is Choose the option "Ask for Help". Doing so will shave those
all-important BP. So Do-It-Yourself.
3. Go to report to Elnan. There will be a scene. At this point, this quest
will overlap with [CH3S2], so if you messed up, you'll have to back track
quite a bit. (Ah! the Falcom cruelty...)
4. When you return to the Bracer Guild with Renne in tow, you'll be asked a
question. Answer:
1st - She must have.
2nd - Wait a minute... (+BP)
If you did everything right, you'll earn the full 7 BP.
>Credit to Huy D. <kholdstare88@gmail.com> who confirms that all you
really need to do at the Villa is:
'This is regarding the Lost Child quest in chapter 3. I can confirm
that I get full BP for getting the quest, talking to the duke, and
then going straight to the bar, ignore Raymond, and find Renne. I
notably did not check any of the other (!) for bench, table, jar,
and podium. Hope this helps. Just do not talk to Raymond. For TitS
players, it may be a reflex to talk to everyone, therefore
accidentally talking to Raymond when entering the bar.'
...Falcom, I applaude you (for the uptenth time). That is some
serious Applied Psycology!!!
TOTAL BP - 2 (+5)
S2.- Threat Letter Case [CH3S2]
This places can be visited in any order you want
1. Start from the bracer guild and go to Calvard Embassy, speak with
Ambassador Cochrane.
-Take te time to visit the library and check the Doll Knight Vol. 15 to
earn the 3rd clue from quest [CH3O1].
2. Next is Erebonia Embassy, again speak with Ambassador Crainagh.
-After speaking with the ambassador and while you are still in the embassy,
talk to Nathan in the embassy's library to get the Gambler Jack Vol. 4.
This is your only chance to do so, even if you can enter the embassy later
if Oliver is in your party.
3. Go to Grancel Castle, speak with Mistress Hilda and Queen Alicia.
-----------------ATTENTION!!! POINT OF NO RETURN!!!----------------When you come out from your 3rd inquiry it will be evening. At this
point you cannot leave the city anymore until quest [CH3S4].
-----------------ATTENTION!!! POINT OF NO RETURN!!!----------------4. Finally, go to the Liberl News Corp. and talk to Nial.
Return to the Bracer's Guild, but save before entering.
After the scene, you will control the other bracer party with Anelace and
either Schera or Agate (depending who you choose to go with Estelle on
Chapter 1) and fight a boss blattle.

to hit them all, if using Agate, take them down one by one using the craft
Spiral Edge. Anelace sticks to Eight-Leaf Blitz.
They are easy.
-BossTOTAL BP - 3
S3.- Search for Renne [CH3S3]

The next day, after the scene with Cid at the Villa, go back to the
Bracer's Guild.
*Note: Not sure, but you can take the time to try and kill the Erbe
Scenic Route monster while you are here, though be careful since you
have Renne as an NPC and only 3 party members.
-During this quest, talk to Connor, the guy inside the Coffee
House on the right side, he will give you the Gambler Jack Vol. 5!
After the scene at the Guild go to the following places in this order:
1. Edel department store.
2. Museum, 2F and then to the 1F.
3. Fisherman's Guild next to the Bracer's Guild and check the glass
counters on the left wall ("!" mark, whichever is good).
4. Baral Coffee House on the West district, speak to the manager.
5. Ice Cream lady on East district.
6. Airport.
*Note 1: In order to earn Max BP you have to find Renne without ever asking
Elnan for hint.
*Note 2: Actually, you can talk to Elnan ONCE, What you must not do
is Choose the option "Ask for Help". Doing so will shave those
all-important BP. So Do-It-Yourself.
-----------------ATTENTION!!! POINT OF NO RETURN!!!----------------It is highly recomended you save before entering the Airport, for once you
approach the landing platform, a series of Story quests will take place
one after the other, and you won't have a chance to do quests/level up for
a while.
Make sure you have a good supply of HP, EP and CP recovery items and all
quests are completed before proceeding.
When ready, enter the Airport and head to the landig platform for a scene.
TOTAL BP - 2 (+3)
S4.- The Calling Letter [CH3S4]
-----------------ATTENTION!!! POINT OF NO RETURN!!!----------------This quest begins right after S3, with no time to report in between.
When you regain control of Estelle, you'll be outside Grancel, your goal is
Gurune Gate.
Don't worry about enemies, since there will be none.
When you arrive at Gurune Gate, go to the second floor to the long walkway
over the wall (the first door). Go to the next screen and walk to the 2nd
round platform in the wall. You'll find our green-haired, insentive jerk
of a Padre: Kevin.
Scenes, then...
He will ask you a question. Answer:
1st - Really Just A Coincidence
2nd - A trap. (+BP)
3rd - The Middle-aged Guy Was Joshua's Disguise!

Some scenes will occur and you will fight a mandatory fight...which is easy.
TOTAL BP - None
S5.- Attending the Tea Party [CH3S5]
Kevin Graham joins your party.
The two of you must return to Grancel's Bracer Guild. Again, no enemy
encounters on the road. Take time to rest at Gurune Gate before proceeding,
though.
Once you arrive at Grancel, more scenes will happen, and you will get a third
party member.
Who you get depends on who has been with you since Ch1. If you chose Agate on
Chapter 1, you get Scherazard, and viceversa.
Once out of the Guild, Seig will point you in the direction of the West
District. Before you go, it is highly advisable to buy weapons for Kevin and
your other partner, as well as upgrade their quartz/solts. You can't,
however, go to the North District to heal, so you'll have to use some of
those Teara Balms and Ep Chargers to bring the party to full health. Once
ready, go to the harbor.
There is a mandtory fight with three war dogs (nothing complicated).
After the battle, go to the warehouse next to the northern exist. Fight the
Special Ops (easy).
After the scene proceed to the next screen. In here, you must go to the
easternmost warehouse (on a pier at the right of the map) where the boss
battles will take place.
Save in a separate file before engaging, since there are three consecutive
battles without pause to rest/recharge. If you have another, equip Kevin with
a Long Barrel and the Gladiator's Headband, and if you have Schera, make
sure she and the Padre have access to Dark Matter.
Ok, lets look at tonight's menu:
-BossSpecial Ops Soldier (Gunner) X2
LV - 55
HP - 1811
Attacks:
LV - 55
HP - 2281
Attacks:
1. Knife thrust.
2. Shadow Weaving. Single, inflicts AT Delay. Can inflict Deathblow.
Strategy:
Use Estelle's True Hurricane to chop a good chunk of their Hp. If you
have Schera, use Aerial (Air art); if you have Agate, fire
Draguna Edge. Kevin heals with items and Tomatrio Sandwiches/Ep
Chargers.
You must ensure you are well healed (almost full) before you kill the last
Special Ops guy. These guys are the appetizer, hope you are still hungry.
-BossA scene, then...
-BossOrgueille
LV - 60
HP - 19850
Attacks:
1. Machine gun. Area (S).
2. Hellfire. Area (M/right in front of the tank)
3. Charge. Rams anything in front.
4. Maximum Output. Str and Spd Up to self.
5. Orbal Cannon. Line, very powerful.
Strategy:
Main course is this humungus Tank.
First, the bad:
It may be big, but not slow.
The good is:
You get Knight to help you (Yay!). Make it count.
This is a battle of attrition. The tank is as big as it is tough, and you
will always be dealing 3-digit figures with Estelle's and Kinght's physicals,
so the only real way to damage him is to fire a constant stream of arts. Dark
Matter, despite the cost in Ep, is the best way to go about this battle, so
if Schera is with you, that is her primary duty. If you have Agate though,
send him to hammer the boss with Flame Smash 2. Estelle must use Morale every
time it banishes, the rest is physicals and crafts. Knight has access to Lost
Moebius Space art, a real killer move that can do 1100 to 1400 (buffed) at
100 Ep cost, so you can use that to help damage the boss too...
...though better save those for the next battle if Schera is with you.
Kevin should be on healing and speed buffing duty, feeding Ep Chargers and
Tomatrio Sandwiches when needed, the rest of the time is Dark Matter.
To avoid having all your party trampled, and to reduce the uses of Hellfire
spread your party so you kinda sorround the tank. When it pulls out the main
gun, you have a turn to move anyone on its line of fire to avoid the attack,
but if you can't, S-Break with Kevin and use Grail Sphere. Keep your Str up
at all times, make sure you don't run out of Ep/Cp and you will prevail.
-BossAlmost there...
-BossKanone
LV - 55
HP - 10760
Attacks:
1. Orbal Pistol. Single.
2. CP Absorb. Absorbs 50 CP (you perra!).
3. Mine Set. Places a mine on somewhere on the battlefield.
4. Dancing Gunner. Single, combo attack for high damage.
Special Ops Soldier (Gunner)
LV - 55
HP - 1811
Attacks:
LV - 55
HP - 2281
Strategy:
And for dessert we have the pleasure of spanking the bitch herself. She comes
with 3 Special Ops (2 knifes and 1 gun) that can be take care of in one shot
with Lost Moebius and/or a few Aerials/Agate's crafts. She has CP drain
attack, her normal attack poisons you, moves fast and lays mines around, but
if you have enough Hp, you can wistand all this. Estelle and Knight should
lay on her with Moraled crafts, while Schera keeps the Dark Matters coming,
Agate delays her attack with crafts, and Kevin heals/recovers Ep & Cp.
Should you be sure she will fall to them, feel free to give her a taste of
all the S-Crafts you can shoot. Compared to the tank this lass is weak.
-BossMore scenes (give thanks you don't have to fight that pink thing...yet) and
the quest finally ends.
*After this quest, when you board the Airship to Bose, the chapter will end,
and the game will prompt you to change discs.
TOTAL BP - 4 (+3)
O1.- The Missing Exhibit [CH3O1]
- Available: After you report to Elnan with Renne in tow.
- Expires: When you go to report to Cid at Erbe Royal Villa.
Talk to the curator of the Royal Museum.
Another of Blueblanc's thefts.
1st - The wall clock on General Morgan's mansion on West Distric (the house
next to the Grand Cathedral). Check "!" mark on the second floor's
granfather clock.
2nd - On the fountain on South District. The "!" mark is on the opposite side
where the kids are hanging around.
3rd - In the Calvard Embassy on the library, so you'll have to wait for the
Story quest [S2.- Threat Letter Case] to be able to enter. To find the card,
examine the middle bookshelf on the left side, read the book titled "Doll
Knight Vol. 15" (-Song of the Ocean- reference).
The treasure chest with the painting is in the Royal Arena, and you have to
fight some easy enemies to get it. Just equip something that prevents Freeze
status and use Fire arts.
TOTAL BP - 4
O2.- Grancel Sewer monster [CH3O2]
- Available: as soon as you arrive to Grancel.
- Expires: Before you board the Cecilia at the end of the Chapter.
Preparations: Bring Lily Necklaces. Equip Ruby Talisman on your
physical attacker. Lastly, bring Zane equiped with a Feather Brooch and
a Lily Necklace and make sure he has Defense 3 installed.
Where to find: At the very end of the West Sewers in the room with the 2
unreachable Red Chests.
-BossMad Tree X4
LV - 55
HP - 8829
Attacks:
1. Mad Splash. Area attack, can inflict confuse.
2. Chomp. Single, absorbs HP.
3. Call for Allies. Randomly call a Scissor Hands or Great Moth
Scissor Hands, Great Moth
Strategy:
Normally they would be annoying as hell, what with their tendency to
summon allies, absorb your HP and do their area attack. But if you have
Zane with you (equipped with the stuff I mentioned), you jut have to use
his Distend craft to up his Str and Def, then Taunt the enemies and voila!
Instant meat shield. He can help Estelle and Agate with the physical stuff
while your art user(s) unleash an endless barrage of Spiral Flare.
With this strategy you only have to heal when your weakest member is at
Half HP due to the a-o-e attack. Just be sure to re-cast Distend every time
it wears off, with the ammount of punishment Zane will be shrugging of
you'll have no shortage of CP.
Enjoy!
-BossTOTAL BP - 4
O3.- Erbe Scenic Route monster [CH3O3]

- Available: As soon as you reach Grancel.
- Expires: Before you board the Cecilia at the end of the Chapter. Also
not sure it it becomes unavailable after you report to Elnan at the
end of quest [CH3S2] when the army does its monster cleaning.
Preparations: Equip Feather Brooches.
Where to find: Erbe Scenic Route, Screen 2, a little east of the entrance
to the Royal Villa.
-BossCronocider X5
LV - 55
HP - 4888
Attacks:
1. Ram. Single, knocks back a Huge distance. Can inflict Faint.
2. Golden Armor. Str and Def up to self. Bad news.
Strategy:
These are some tough nuts to crack...if you come unprepared.
The key to this battle is to exploit the knock back effect of the enemies'
normal attack. How? Simple.
Use arts. Dark Matter, Hell Gate, Spiral Flare, Stone Impact...any art
that can hit hard and/or has a wide FIXED a-o-e. Since the enemies are
big, and they push you real far, they will take some turns to reach you
again. Take that time to recover the damage incurred/pelt them with some
arts. If you hit more than one, even better!
Your fighters should be Moraled/Forted before unleashing long-range crafts
on the Cronociders (True Comet, Draguna Edge, Smoke Cannon 2).
The battle is just a bit long...but not particularlly difficult.
-BossTOTAL BP - 4
O4.- Grancel Sewer monster 2 [CH3O4]
- Available: When quest [CH3S3] starts.
- Expires: When you board the Cecilia bound for Rolent at the end of
of Chapter 3.
Preparations: Bring Agate, make sure you have access to Earth Lance.
Where to find: The screen with the 2 Red Chests (the same one where you found
the Grancel Sewer monster 1).
-BossGundoll X3
LV - 55
HP - 6866
Attacks:
1. Machine Gun. Single (Combo)
2. Control Function Irregularity. Inflicts damage and Confuse to self.
3. Call for allies.
4. Execute Repair Function. Small heal to self.
Boil Egger 0 X2
Strategy:
Remove the Eggers first with Aqua Bleed/Blue Impact, then focuse on the
Gunndolls One At A Time. The trick is to target the one who uses Control
Function Irregularity firsts and sitck to it until it dies. Use only
Single Target Earth Lance/Air Strike/Hard Break/Smite. If you avoid hitting
the un-Confused Gundolls they will not summon allies. Take advantage of
Agate's Spiral Edge to AT Delay your current target so it does not shoot
his comrades and triggers the summoning of allies.
Take your time with them and the battle is a synch.
-BossTOTAL BP - 4
O5.- Royal Avenue monster [CH3O5]
- Available: At the end of the Chapter.
- Expires: When you board the Cecilia bound for Rolent at the begining
of Chapter 4.
Preparations: Wear Feather Brooches. You might want to bring Kloe for
this one, since if you have her decked with the water quartz from
Grancel she will have access to Diamond Dust, which will make the
following fight easier.
Where to find: Just of the northern exit of the Scenic Route (Royal Avenue
Screen 3), the giant red bird (the only enemy around now).
-BossFlame Velgr X4
LV - 57
HP - 4140
Attacks:
1. Feather Shower. All-hitter.
2. Rolling Dive. Single.
3. Call for Allies. Summons a Hell Mars.
Hell Mars X2
Strategy:
These birdies (the Flame Velgrs) are seriously weak to water, and having
Diamond Dust means you can hit several in one go. However, the first thing
to do is getting rid of the Hell Mars for they can cause faint with their
attacks and are generally annoying. One good Aerial from either Kloe, Schera
or Oliver will remove them from the picture, as will Moraled/Forted Smoke
Cannon 2, True Hurricane or Draguna Edge. You should assign your fighter
to getting rid of any new Hell Mars the Velgrs happen to summon. The rest
should help Kloe kill the Velgrs with Blue Impact by focusing on one at a
time. Should you be eating many Feather Showers, Agate's Spiral Edge and
Scheras Heaven's Kiss can give you breathiing room/speed up the Diamond
Dusts.

Now, the next paragraph
Skip this paragraphs if
I only cover it for the
to be ambiguous in this
and strategy contain unavoidable spoilers.

you don't need the strategy.
sake of completition, but there is no way
particular case, hence the warning.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This chapter starts with a small mini-quest. You'll be taking Joshua
(finally!) and his allies into the old Sky Bandits lair in Bose Region.
You'll also notice that Mr. Astray is Lv 72!
There is a reason for this: he will be the only character you can control
for the duration of the mission. It is imperative thus that you kill as
many enemies as possible on your way to the airship hangar to fill his Cp
to max. This is of utmost importance.
Of secondary importance are the necessity of looting the place empty so as
you have access to all the items in this joint, and of getting Mr. Astray
to Lv 73 AT LEAST; this is of particular importance to those playing on
Hard...Nightmare players on a 'clean' (No NG+) game MUST try for Lv 74 or
they won't stand a chance against the boss.
Once you get to the airship you must save, for the moment you check
the "!" mark by the airship wing, a boss battle will ensue.
You must have Joshua equipped with that Feather Brooch you got or any
attack from the boss will inflict Faint...wich equals Game Over. Those
playing on Hard and Nightmare have to switch the Information quartz for
the Attack 3 you get in this place.
Once ready, check the "!" mark...and good luck.
-BossMaster Swordsman
LV - 75
HP - 20850
Attacks:
1. Hold Still!. Tracktor beam. Pulls one character near him.
2. Hound Gale. Area (S). Can inflict Faint.
3. Swordslash combo. Single.
4. Blade Dancer. Combo, Huge damage.
5. Impede. Every time your art goes off after his turn, he will use this.
Strategy:
Holy crap! he is Lv 75 and has 20 000+ Hp! Just those two facts will clue
you as to why Joshua is so strong too. This master swordsman will hack at
you with both speed and deadly power, and if you do not keep Mr. Astray's
Hp above 3/4 he is very likely you will die.
So, to defeat him, you must focus in speed. That's the key. Let Ms "support"
be killed, she can only take 2 hits anyway, and this is one battle where
letting the NPC die won't yield Game Over. While the boss is killing her,
Joshua must up his speed and lower the boss' with arts, then proceed to
hack at him with Double Slash and Dark Matter. When you need to cure, use
items. Just be aware that if you don't manage to cast the art before the
boss' turn, he will cancel it and add the Art Block status. In that case
there is nothing to be done save wait 'till it wears of while you fire
DS one after another, healing in-between.
So long as you don't get careless or overconfident, this fight will be
over soon.
-Boss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After watching all three scenes, you go back to Rolent and arrive at sunset.
When you enter the Guild, the quest ends and a series of scenes take place.

S2.- Unexplained Desease Investigation [CH4S2]
Follows immediatly after reporting to Aina.
You have to interrogate 4 people around Rolent:

TOTAL BP - 3 (+6)
S3.- Secure the Peltzer Farm [CH4S3]
The next morning, after geting back to the Guild, you must go to Peltzer
Farm.
Your party will be all-girls, so arrange your tactics accordingly, and
equip Tita with the Long Barrel II accesory.
Once you arrive at the farm, you will have to fight a mandatory battle
against 3 gas enemies.
Use Earth arts, for physicals will miss.
After the scenes, go back to report at the Guild.
TOTAL BP - 1
S4.- Woman in Black Pursuit [CH4S4]
A simple matter of going to Mistwald to settle this issue...or not so
simple, for once you reach the end, where previously you couldn't enter,
as you change screens a scene will take place and your party will be in an
open field that repeats itself. You'll have no choice but to wander sort-of
aimlessly. Welcome to
The Mistmaze:
Time Limit - Change screens 20 times.
Chest: Range (Space quartz)
What this place is about: you have to navigate a maze composed of
repeating screens. Sounds simple? Well, yes and no.
There is a catch (I can here you saying 'saw that coming a mile
away').
Every time you change screens, a HIDDEN COUNTER will increase by 1.
If it reaches 20, you loose your extra BP (time for some mexican
groserias).
Since there is NO WAY to check that HIDDEN COUNTER and there is a
chest you might want to snatch, you can either:
a) keep count of the screen changes and reset if you change screens
more than 20 times (a pain in the trasero).
or b)
The fastest way:
1.

Total Screen Changes: 8
In order to facilitate navigation, Every Time you change a Screen make sure
you are Facing NORTH. Also, when you follow the right secuence, you'll
be able to hear the sound of a bell ringing. If you stop hearing it you
made a wrong turn.
-Credit to majesticmystic and Guruda from the Board (they cracked the most
apt routes) and gamers Dieuw and stryd3r (for testing and confirming
the method). All you four have made it easier an annoying quest.
When a second scene plays, it means you are out. Save immediatly. As you
cross the log bridge, a scene will happen and then the boss of the chapter.
Before the battle, equip everyone with Confuse and Sleep prevention
accesories.
-BossZaqqum
LV - 60
HP - 8858
Attacks:
1. Mist Punch. Inflicts confuse.
3. Summon Alraune.
Jubokko
LV - 60
HP - 7219
Attacks:
1. Wave Charge. Unleashes art on next turn.
2. Mist Storm. Area (All), can cause Sleep.
3. Summon Alraune.
Alraune X4
1. Dream Smoke. Single, cancels arts and can inflict Confuse.
2. Strike. Single.
Strategy:
All are weak to Earth, but there is a catch. Zaqqum absorbs arts (and
recovers) and Jubokko absorbs physicals. So after casting Morale with
Estelle, or La Forte fire art with Schera/Oliver Estelle should focus on
hitting Zaqqum 'till it falls. If Kloe is with you, use Impose craft to
expedite the process. Meanwhile, Schera should be using Heaven's Kiss
to skip the bosses' turns. Kloe and Oliver must first cast Clock Up
on everyone and then bombard the Alraunes with Earth arts. Once Zaqqum
is down, focus everyone's Earth arts on Jubokko. However, Jubokko will be
casting his charged attack every turn, so anyone available must cancel it
before it fires. As long as you are protected from Confuse and Sleep, this
fight is not that hard, just long.
-BossAfter the battle, there will be another scene, then you will be controling
Estelle. You can't leave the Bright's House, so when the scenes are over,
go to the second floor, and check the second door (Joshua's), then go talk
to the woman in blue. Go to the bedroom in the first floor and examine
the "!" mark next to the bed. With the item, go to Joshua's room and enter.
Examine the "!" mark and get the item. Speak with Cassius and the woman in
blue, then go to the terrace in the second floor (next to Joshua's room)
then hold triangle and hit R. Some scenes and the Chapter is over.

As always, erradicate the allies before concentrating on the targets.
They will promptly approach your characters and begin syphoning their
HP. Just spam an endless barrage of Spiral Flares, fo they will be close
enough to be caught in them. Have Kloe use Kaempfer 2 on one and Estelle
(or whoever is your fighter) focus on the one debuffed. This way, you will
negate the recovery effect of their attack and expedite their demise.
Heal whenever you are under half HP. With the Skull Pendants, you have
nothing to worry about Shadow Spears.

Red Insectos X2
Flying Feline X2
Strategy:
Divide the tasks: Fighters (with Ruby Talisman) attacks one Gaintfoot at
a time (in all likelyhood is Estelle). Your art-users resort to Spiral
Flare to really hurt these guys. Try to include their allies so as to
get rid of them quickly. Whenever the Gaintfoots begin charging, cancel
them immediatly, for even if you are protected against the status effects,
the attacks can be quite damaging. Especially if they land on the art-users.
Heal when under Half HP.

Get rid of the Coral Shells asap with physicals. Do Not Use arts on them for

the Shells are gone switch to Stone Impacts. Heal under Half HP.

it is Not before entering the Ancient Dragon's Dwelling.
The point I'm talking about (strange phylosophical-grammatical
moment) is triggered as soon as you choose the option to
'Talk' to Lugran after killing the 3 required monsters, which
is, incidentally, the moment the highly-emotive quest [CH5S2]

V6: In Bose, sold on the store at Bose Market just after arriving
if you missed it at Rolent.
V7: Speak to Private Mikey on the Krone Pass check point WHILE
HUNTING for the 3 monsters in Quest [S1.- Wanted Monster Bounty].
You can get this one with ease while you are there to find
Ms Felicity during optional quest [CH5O6].
-West Bose Highway: Second Screen, by the bridge on the eastern side.
-Valleria Shore: By the southeastern pier.
-Ravennue Village: By the pier in the small lake.
-Surprisingly enough, this Chapter is not that hard, thus proving
appearances can be deceiving. Try to rotate your party around if
you are planning to take the story-related characters during
Chapter 7.
-Take advantage of Orvid's Ingredient Shop, both for the purpose of
saving mira for Chapter 8's Sepith shop as well as to carry enough
ingredients for battle food. This last one is crucial if you are doing
a Max BP run.
-Don't bother with the Shining Poms in Amberl Tower. Granted, they are
always the best way to powerlevel and you should kill them while on the
treasure hunt, but don't waste your time looking for them speci ically
since the enemies at the Ancient Dragon's Dwelling give good Exp and
are a lot easier to kill (especially the Octobones).
Nebel Valley - Giantfoot
Amberl Tower - Violet Pom and Amber Turtle
-If you loaded a Clear Data from FC, talk to Spence inside the Bose Market
by the eastern exit to get a free Zeram Powder.
S1.- Wanted Monster Bounty [CH5S1]
This time you'll have to haunt 3 monsters in 3 different areas of the Bose
Region:
1st is in East Krone Pass. [CH5O1]
2nd is on Amberl Tower. [CH5O2]
3rd is in the mountains to the east of Bose, where the Sky Bandits lair
is located. [CH5O3]
All three count as separate optional quest.
After you finish the last monster, you will be asked a question:
1st - The Monsters Were Strong.
2nd - The Monsters Were Afraid. (+BP)
3rd - The Monsters Were Agitated.
Return to the Guild to report.
TOTAL BP - 6(+3)
S2.- Dragon Assault Case [CH5S2]
This quest starts as soon as you speak with Lugran at the Guild's front
desk.
-----------------ATTENTION!!! POINT OF NO RETURN!!!----------------Be sure to finish all optional quests before talking to Lugran,
you can still report, but if they are incomplete, they will be
marked as Failed the moment you choose the 'Talk' option.
You've been warned.
-----------------ATTENTION!!! POINT OF NO RETURN!!!----------------After the scenes, Agate will leave your party and you'll proceed to the
Market.
When asked a question, pick:
1st - Start Rescuing People Immediately
2nd - Organize First (+BP)
Once the scenes are over, you can only go to Ravennue Village.
When you get to the village, talk to the mayor, the old man in blue by the
burned fields.
You will have to go to the Abandoned Mine to the north of the village.
As you enter the mine a scene occurs.
To reach the end of the mine go east. You can't get lost since there is
only one possible exit to this place. Also, no enemies around.
Once you get out, more scenes.
You'll regain control on Ravennue by the afternoon.
Go to the house west of the Mayor's. More scenes. Next head to the southern
exit and choose the 1st option to return to Bose.
Next day in Bose, go to the Airport for more scenes. After the debrieffing
scenes, go talk to all party members, plus Nial and Dorothy at the bow of
the ship. Some really cool scenes will take place, and you will be back
at Bose.
TOTAL BP - 3 (+3)
S3.- Dragon Pursuit [CH5S3]

It is time to go dragon hunting in Nebel Valley.
When you enter the valley, go to the right at the fork, the all the way to
the cottage.
Speak with Whemler who is inside and head back to the entrance.
This time, go to the left at the fork and follow the road until you reach
the point where the monster from the [O3.- Nfebel Valley Monster] quest was.
Cross the bridge and enter the cave. Welcome to
-Ancient Dragon's Dwelling
Screen 1: EP Charge, Buster Gear (Red Chest)
Screen 3: Teara Balm, Ebony Shoes (Red Chest)
Screen 4: EP Charge, Aerondight (Red Chest)
Screen 7: Sepith Cache (Red Chest)
Screen 9: Reviving Balm, Tearal Balm, Misty Veil (Red Chest)
The layout works like this: You start inside a cave, then go out to a
mountain path, then back to a cave. Only the first and last Mountain
Paths have a Small cave entrance. There are no Rest Points in this place,
so you must use arts, Balms, Food and EP Charges to recover. Have a full
Craft Gauge, the whole party equipped with Feather Brooches or better,
and save before entering the big opening at the very top of Mountain
Path 3. Proceed and meet
-BossThe Ancient
LV - 70
HP - 25777
Attacks:
1. Bite. Chops 1/4 of 1 character.
2. Flying. Changes place. Can damage anyone who is close to his landing
spot.
3. Tail swing. Line (M), affects the area in front of him and knocks back.
4. Claw swipe. Single, halves HP.
5. Fire breath. Area (M).
6. Preparing to use arts. Takes one turn to unleash...
...7. Magical energy. His S-Craft, all-hitter. You cannot cancel it.
Strategy:
This boss is a bit tricky to hit, for he is located at the very edge
of the battlefield, and every so often he will fly to another edge of the
battlefield, thus forcing you to chase him.
Now on your side, you are forced to bring both Agate and Tita to this fight,
thus you have a good long-range attack, since at this point Tita will be
hitting almost as hard as Agate with her physical. Position her right in
the middle of the battlefield to avoid the claw and tail attacks and keep
a constan bombardment, she will be your main healer during the battle with
her Vital Cannon 2 since the boss is rather fast. It is only wiser that
you should bring Oliver or other powerful art-user for this fight, put
him/her next to Tita and start firing Dark Matters every turn available.
Lost Moebius, though stronger, takes a little longer to fire, thus
only use it if the dragon has changed places the previous turn. Estelle
should keep using Morale whenever it fades, Clock Up, using Tearal and
La Teara, as well as feeding Agate and Tita the occational Tomatrio
Sandwiches and EP Chargers to your art user. Should you have the chance,
fire some Comets to help squeeze some extra damage. Agate will be your
main physical force firing Dragna Edges. When the boss starts to charge
his attack, it is a signal that he will be firing his purple-energy blast.
It is unblockable, so you must be near full health to soak the damage.
Or use Earth Guard/Wall if you can pull it off before the boss' S-Craft.
This is another battle of attrition like the one with the Tank in Grancel,
so hang in there and don't be overconfident.

O1.- Krone Pass Monster [CH5O1]

Fang seems scared of something. Passes turn.
Strategy:

away. They are also suceptible to Agate's Spiral Edge.
Most of the time they'll use either attack 2, 3 or 4.
Easy.

Preparations:
Where to find: Octobone is located at the top of the tower next to the

3. Meteo Storm. Area (S), can inflict Faint.
4. Space Jam. Single, Def Down.
5. Split. Creates a copy of itself with half his current HP.
Strategy:
Focus on one at a time, taking care of AT Delaying your target with Spiral
Edge. This way you avoid their splitting, which can make this into a hard
fight if it happens too often. Just buff your party and debuff your current
target and hack away.
O3.- Nebel Valley Monster [CH5O3]
Preparations: Equip Lighters. Equip Agate with the Ruby Talisman.
Where to find: Upon arriving to the valley there is a fork, take the left
path aaaaall the way to the end. (Screen 1)
The enemy is that stone statue thing by the cliff.
-BossGhost Epithaph X3
LV - 64
HP - 6854
Attacks:
1. Stalactite Drop. Single, can inflict Freeze.
2. Behaving oddly. Small damage to self.
Ice Pecker X5
Strategy:
They are easy if you bombard them with Spiral Flare, Estelle's True
Hurricane, Tita's Smoke Cannon 2 and Agate's Draguna Edge. If Oliver
has Meteo Fall, they will be decimated even faster...
Once again: I. Love. Fire!!

*Note: I'd like to take this here space to offer a sincere take-off-the-hat
to the Falcom programmers and the XSEED translation/localization team.
This quest was the reason I went and sought a guide 3 years ago (2012) when
I played the game in japanese. It's not so hard in english, but when you
have to decipher the kanji...it was beyond me.
That said, just you wait Blueblanc! I have an Abyss Fall with your name!!

O5.- The Rarest Flavor [CH5O5]
- Expires: When you go to Valleria Lakeshore at the start of Chapter 6.
You have to take six different monster-type ingredients to Gwen in the
kitchen of Anterose restaurant. If you've been fighting constanly up 'till
now you should have more than enough.
The ingredients she seeks are:
-Juicy Bone X5
-Lucky Fang X5
-Curative Horn X5
-Tender Poultry X10
-Bird Egg X10

-Gummy Eyeball X10
-------------------------------MAX BP ALERT------------------------------Now, this quest is one I recomend you finish with Max BP. For that, you
need to go and talk to Orvid, who is standing at the southern entrance of
the Bose Market. Doing so will trigger a scene with Gwen at the Anterose
where our good man will repay those other fetch quests he lumped on us
across two games by helping us deliver the rarer ingredients, which are
-Juicy Bone X5
-Lucky Fang X5
-Curative Horn X5
This cuts the ammount of ingredients you need to hunt down. Once you
have the others, return to the Anterose and talk to Gwen to finish the
quest with Max BP.
-------------------------------MAX BP ALERT------------------------------>Credit to ManaBlast and haykalgundamn for pointing out the need
to talk to Orvid to get the first 3 required ingredient types.
*Note: Now, I promised it was worth your while. How? If you talk to Orvid
from now on right there at the Anterose kitchen, he will be kind enough
to SELL to you ALL TYPES OF INGREDIENTS!!!!
From Monster Drops to the normal stuff you get at the local general
goods...
This opens up the chance to make TWO niffy little tricks that will be
discussed in detail at the Q and A [QAA] section of the guide.
Read in there for the tricks. >:D

2. Leap-Upon. Cancel art execution.
Roly-Poly X3
Strategy:
4 horned things and 3 of the brown mushroom-like enemies...with tentacles.
They are most vulnerable to Water arts and physicals. Cast Morale first,
then use Agate's Spiral Edge craft and Blue Impact water art. Chain crafts
are also a good way to go at them if they are packed together.

O8.- Merchant Escort [CH5O8]
- Available: at the begining of Chapter 6.
- Expires: when you check in at the Kingfisher Inn at Valleria Shore.
The client is Mirano, who lives in the 1st house entering Bose's South
Block from the center.
She wants you to escort her to Ravennue Village. After you speak with her,
meet her on the city's west exit.
Get Max BP by reaching Ravennue Village WITHOUT FIGHTING.
To accomplish this, use the Haze Mirage Quartz (or better) so the
monsters ignore you. The hardest part is in the mountain trail
before Ravennue, since it is rather narrow.
Once you reach Ravennue Village, the quest is done.
TOTAL BP - 3 (+2)
O9.- Memory of Distant Days [CH5O9]

Talk to madam Corna at the Kirsche bar next to the Hotel in Bose. She
wants you to find her relative.
She will give you a photo. From looking at the photo, you'll get a clear
idea of who you should show it to. ;)
Go to the Mayor's house, and show the picture (hold Triangle and press R)
to the maid Lila on the 2nd floor.
Then show the picture to Mayor Maibelle.
After the scenes, the quest is over.
TOTAL BP - 5
HO10.- Mine Extermination [CH5O10]
Go to the entrance of the Abandoned Mine and talk to the soldier in green to
iniciate this quest.
You have to enliminate all the robots inside the mine. They are paticularly
vulnerable to the Aero Storm air art.
There are 5 Robots inside the mine. One to the right from the entrance, and
two to the left on the road to the open space where many story-related
scenes have taken place.
Upon reaching the open sky room, to your right you will find three entrances
(rotate the camera to see them). Inside the first there is a treasure, on
the second the fourth robot.
The fifth and last robot is inside the upper left entrance of the open sky
room. This one is of the blue variety, so it will take a few more hits,
depending on your level.
After eliminating all, the game will give you a message. Go back then to the
entrance and the soldiers to report.
*Note: If you are plannig to take the arts approach to the optional fight
in the next chapter, you must collect the Crimson Eye accessory in this
place. You've been warned.

-If you managed to reach rank C+ (which you should if you are using this
guide), you'll be awarded with the Grail Locket accessory. And I don't need
to tell you why that is so good...
S1.- Break at the Lakeside [CH6S1]
You have to go to the Hotel at Valeria Lakeshore. It is recommended that you

save before entering the hotel in case you need to backtrack for quests or
items. It is advisable to buy a set of the best quatrz available (all the
lv4 quartz from the seven types), as well as buying from Orvid enough
ingredients to make battle food (you might want to grind for mira with the
scam).
Once you enter and talk with your party members who are sitting at the table
they would offer 3 choices:
-----------------ATTENTION!!! POINT OF NO RETURN!!!----------------1st - Still have something to do.
2nd - Lets Party
3rd - Change companions
Choose 2nd. A series of scenes will take place. When you regain control
of Estelle, go to westernmost pier for more scenes. Afterwards you'll be
promted to choose 2 partners for Estelle and Kevin. You should equip Kevin
with a set of lv4 quartz and the Long Barrel II acc.
Once ready, choose the third option to continue.
-----------------ATTENTION!!! POINT OF NO RETURN!!!----------------TOTAL BP - None
S2.- Facility Infiltration [CH6S2]
This is a long mission, and you cannot change teammates, so choose wisely at th
e Lakeshore Hotel. After the scenes that link the quests, you'll be on a
shore before a building. Go to the rightmost entrance, and a mandatory battle wi
ll take place against the robots from hidden quest [HO10.- Ravennue Abandoned M
ine Monsters]. They are the common enemies in this building, so the same strateg
y that you used in the mine will work. Navigate the first floor (ignore the doo
rs with the red and green locks for now) until you reach a rest spot. You shou
ld know what comes next. The boss is behind the door with the red light above.
-BossSwordsman
LV - 66
HP - 10856
Attacks:
1. Whirlwind Blade. Area (S). Works exactly as Estelles Hurricane.
2. Technique - Nightmare. Singe. Powerful combo, knocks back a huge distance.
3. Jumping slash. Cancel's arts.
Vogel 235 X2
Strategy:
A swordsman accompanied by two red robots. The red robots should fall
quickly, so no issues there. Use Moraled crafts (Kaempfer 2 if Kloe
is around). Despite attack #3, Kevin (and any other art-user equipped
with Cast 2) will be able to blast some good ol'Dark Matters.
-BossAfterwards, there is a computer at the back of the room, check it to get
the Red Cardkey.
Investigate all the red-locked doors on this floor before riding the
elevator to the 2nd.
On the second floor, when you reach the dark room, immediatly equip the
Night Goggles. The next boss' door is to through the room's north
exit.
-BossGunner
LV - 66
HP - 12892
Attacks:
1. Grenade Shot. Area (S).
2. Assault Combo Alpha. Single, inflicts Blind.
3. Gunshot. Single, can inflict Mov Down.
4. Shock Spider. Single, cancel's arts.
Vogel 570 X2
Strategy:
A gunswoman and 2 blue robots.
Attack #2 will make her move a fair distance. Because of the boss'
characteristics, this is an arts battle. After casting Morale, bombard the
boss with wide-area arts such as Spiral Flare, Aerial, Aero Storm, etc.
Chain crafts also do respectable damage to her.
-BossYou get the Green Cardkey from the computer. Raid the green-lock rooms then
backtrack to the elevator and open the green lock to ride the elevator to
the 3rd floor. This one is smaller than the others. Once again, when you
get to the door with the red light, a boss awaits.
-BossAmazon

Attacks:
1. Flurry. Single, Combo attack.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Air Slash. Area (S).

Jump Slash. Single, AT Delay.
Empower. Str Up, Def Down to self.
Wave Slash. S-Craft. Area (L)
Vogel 570 X2
Vogel 235 X2
Strategy:
One look at the boss will tell you what is coming your way...
Morale your party and get rid of the robots, they are only a nuisance.
Once alone Kaempfer 2 and give the boss a taste of Chain crafts/Time-space
and it will be over quickly.
Heal yourself whenever you are hit with the S-craft.
-BossBlue Cradkey is yours, so raid the blue-lock rooms. Once ready, ride the
blue-lock elevator to the last floor of this place. Don't worry about your
Hp and Ep, there is a rest point just outside of the last door with the
red light. Before entering, equip tour party with Skull Pendants.
-----------------ATTENTION!!! POINT OF NO RETURN!!!----------------Should you intend to use the arts method with the Sub-Boss at
Facility Two, change the quartz from your party members so that
Estelle has available as many Time quartz as possible, as well as
unequipping/switching any accessories you think she might need
(mostly the Grail Locket if you became rank C+, and the Crimson
Eye).
You don't have to install them know, but it would suck to forget...
-----------------ATTENTION!!! POINT OF NO RETURN!!!-----------------BossDoppelganger X3
LV - 70
HP - 9555
Attacks:
1. Dagger Slash.
2. Dual Strike.
3. Flicker.
4. Cloak&Dagger.
5. Black Fang.
Strategy:
Need I explain what those attacks do?...
It may seem a bit harsh, but if your party is lv 67-68 and equipped with
Skull Pendants, you shouldn't have much trouble. Morale the team and attack
them with area arts and crafts. That means True Hurricane, Flame Smash,
Aero Storm, Volcanic Blast, etc. These guys may be fast and annoying, but
they are weak and will fall quickly if they can't exploit their Deathblow
effect.
Talk about CPCs (Cheap Pirate Copies).
-BossSome scenes will take place, and Estelle will wake up in a new place...
Facility Two
Enjoy one of the game's few FMVs (cool!) and then proceed down the hall to
the south door.
Go to the elevator and then to the end of the wide corridor to see more
scenes and reaquaint with the situation. After the scenes, you must leave
the room and go the other elvator (the one you took before is unavailable).
This is a straighforward area with not-so hard to beat enemies, which is
good, since you only have Estelle for this part. Save when you go through
the big door at the end of the wide corridor.
-------------------------------MAX BP ALERT------------------------------You might want to cook some exploding food, the more powerful the better,
or tinker with the quartz array to get either Abyss Fall, Death Scream or
Silver Thorn arts, this fight has a time limit and you have to win it
to get Max BP.
You've been warned.
Once you get out, walk south and there will be a scene and a sub-boss.
Choose whatever answer you like (maybe even the 3rd if you are feeling
nice...)
-Sub-BossFirst, the cast'n crew of this trademark Falcom cruelty:
Ennhanced Jaeger Captain
LV - 52
HP - 3408
Attacks:
1. Point blank shot. Combo.
2. Pondering. Wastes a turn.
3. Mine set. Plants a mine that selfdestructs after one turn.
Ennhanced Jaeger X4
LV - 69
HP - 3008
Attacks:
1. Impact Rage. Cancel arts.
2. Accel Charge. Knocks back.
3. Heavy Smash. Can inflict Faint.
4. Slash. (normal attack)
5. Grenade. Can inflict Blind.
Strategy:
You'll fight 5 guys - 1 gunner and 4 heavy swordsmen. They hit hard, so
you'll need to heal often. Also, their attacks can inflict Blind and
Faint, so equip the addequate accessories (or just lump in the Grail
Locket).
Now, this fight has only 2 possible outcomes:
1. Either you get ganged-up (que rollo brain?! Don't go hentai with me
here...) or the turn limit expires (around 20 turns give or take, not
confrimed, if someone can confirm it You Get Credit). You get 0 extra
BP (no way Jose!).
2. You manage to win. +5 BP (trust me: you want them).
Likewise, there are only 2 feasible ways in which you can win this fight,
and let me be straight with you: Crafts and physical attacks are out of
the question on a 1st playthrough since the max level you can reach at
this point (if you value your sanity) is 68. So here are the methods.
Arts (Slow, hard, luck-reliant method)
Preparations: Equip Estelle with any accessory that prevents Faint AND
gives a boost in Ats/Spd/Agl as well as the Crimson Eye. These are
Essential. Next, your best possible armor in terms of Def (or second
best if it reduces Ats or Spd a little to much), then your best
(fastest) shoes. If you still have a Staff that can Increase Ats...by
all means!
Next is the offensive. There are only 4 arts that will serve you well
in this case:
Death Scream, Abyss Fall, Silver Thorn and White Gehenna.
Obviously, you want to go for Death Scream...however you might find
yourself preferring to go for the other 2, since you need Action 4,
Deathblow 1, and Fortune together with any other quartz that can give
you the necessary ammount to be able to do so. And there is also the
problem of Estelle's orbment slots. You have to install all the
required quartz in just 4 slots! Obviously, Cast 2 is A MUST, without
it...forget it. My advise is to use the central slot to install the
other miscellaneous quartz (EP 4, EP Cut 4...). Mind 4, EP 4 and
EP Cut 4 and Defense 4 are also A MUST. In case of those of you
going for the Silver Thorn approach, throw in a Hit 4 too.
Execution: You'll be cutting it uncomfortably close to the time limit
NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. This is one of those fights where you are
relying on luck (actual, real-life randomatics) to win. If you
have Death Scream (and Deathblow 1) you have a 50-50 chance of
cutting down their numbers in one fell swoop. Abyss Fall and White
Gehena can inflict Faint, which will help too by removing one or 2
of our opponents. And Silver Thorn can inflict Confuse, thus gaining
you an ally/allies.
The trick with the non-Death Scream approaches is that you are
relying on the placement of the enemies..and them bastards like to
move or use attack #2 which will probably put them out of harms way,
especially in the case of Silver Thorn and White Gehenna.
FINALLY (I can hear you angryly saying 'wait, you mean there's
more?!') there is always a chance that the Jaegers will just use
attack #1 and thus force you to recast (and heal in-between).
THIS is the part that relies on luck...well, your chances DO get
better the more enemies fall.
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if you just go and do the
Battle Food (Mr Cheap method)
I will have to retract myself in the General Strategies section:
Battle Food is the Truly El-Cheapo Method. Period.
There is no point in going into detail since it is a pretty simple

and straightforward thing, really.
I'll just leave you with a...speed chart.
1. Surprise Cookie - The 'slowest' one. Single target, no added status.
2. Perilous Meatballs - Line (S), Faint 50% chance.
3. Rainbow Surprise - Area (S), Random Status 50% chance.
4. Naptime Cookie - Area (S), 100% chance of Sleep (like granma's).
5. Knockout Meatballs - Line (S), 100% chance of Faint (again, like
granma's, SHE knew how to make flamin' food...the memories!)
If they line up/get close, even faster. So feed'em well!
-Sub-Boss-------------------------------MAX BP ALERT------------------------------After some scenes, FINALLY Joshua joins back. And he makes it up by being
in lv75!
For obvious reasons, he will be 1-hitting most enemies in this place. Now,
to get out of this joint, you need to go down 3 more floors. There is no
real way to get lost, since there is always a map next to the elevators,
and the path is mostly straight with only minor deviations if you want the
treasures (one contains a new weapon for Estelle). Once you reach the
Boss floor, use the rest point and save. After you reach the third big
room, you will meet the Chapter Boss.
-BossPale Apache
LV - 75
HP - 14480
Attacks:
1. Call allies. Summons a random archaism (Vogels and Port Seekers).
3. Missile voley. Area (S) can inflict Blind.
4. Charging energy. Prepares to fire '5', takes one turn.
5. Energy beam. Line.
Vogel 235 X4
Strategy:
One big robot accompanied by 4 red robots.
First, Morale with Estelle, then just Evil Eye with Joshua on the boss.
Bye-bye the first two Vogels. Estelle then proceeds to clean up the other
2 with True Comet/Hurrincane. Afterwards, it is a straight deal of
Flicker-ing the boss with Joshua while Estelle feeds her bitter half
those poor, neglected Tomatrio Sandwiches that you couldn't use on the
previus boss (there there, my lovelies, mama taught me never to waste
food).
Death easy. The Apache truly 'pales' in comparison to the Sub-boss
hahahaha! (ok...bad joke...*apologises*).
-BossAfterwards, some cool scenes, and then the quest, and the chapter come to
an end.
*Note: If you've been consistent and have gotten all possible BP, at this
point you'll reach rank B...and earn the valuable Gladiator Belt!
Just lump it on J and watch them enemies run at a glance!
(...seriously, what is wrong with me and this bad jokes?! Must be
stress...)

Esmelas Tower - M-J Series Doom
Amberl Tower - Guard Minion A
This chapter is composed of 4 quests that take place in each of the 4
towers: Esmelas, Amberl, Sapphirl and Carnelia. You get the chance to change
your party and buy things while onboard the Arseille. Of special notice, are
the EP Charge II and Tearal Balms. Stock on them, as well as on ingredients
for Tomatrio Sandwiches if you didn't take the chance back in Bose.
Also, you loose Olvier (noooo! My portable arts cannon!) for the duration of
this chapter...and the next. He is getting to stick by Aina for a week as
punishment for this!
*Note 1: Even if this is only one quest, I'll split it in 4 parts for
easier navigation.
*Note 2: Location of the treasures in these dungeons is only APROXIMATE.
Due to the nature of the places, it is somewhat hard to tell the exact
Screen where you are. This holds especially true for Amberl Tower.
I did make sure I went up and down these teleport-mazes, but since you
can't turn ther camera, there are instances you won't be able to see
reference points. As far as the count of treasures, they are all there.
You've been warned.
S1.- Tetracyclic Towers
Esmelas Tower: [CH7S1]
Boy is this place impresive!! As you may notice once you enter, the tower
has changed dramaticaly, and so have the enemies. They are the same that
appeared in the Sealed Area (FC's final dungeon). You might want to spend
some time prowling this place searching for treasures and gaining Exp until
you reach lv71-72. You may even luck out and encunter a Shining Pom! One
of those buggers will raise several levels in one kill, so be ready to blast
it with an S-Craft/Battle Food. Watch out though, the enemies in this place
will only respawn if you leave and re-enter the tower.

-Boss-
Kaito Shinshi
LV - 75
HP - 17770
Attacks:
1. Shadow Cast. Teleports and creates a clone. The clones dies when the
true Moron (I like the sound of that) gets hit.
2. Wild Carf. Area (M), can inflict Mute.
3. Demonappear. Summons a new Bouncing Clown.
4. Red Rain. Area (All).
5. Death Magic. Single, S-Craft.
Bouuncing Clown X2
Attacks:
1. Marionette. Single, inflicts seal.
2. Floor breack. Single.
Strategy:
Its payback time for all the grief that Phantom Thief bastard has put us
through.
This fight is not that hard...
How so? Well, our Thief has a sort-of pattern you can exploit. What you
have to do to take advantage of it is to
A) Put Joshua and Agate in charge of AT Delaying the BCs with True Flicker
and Spiral Edge.
B) While the boys keep the staff occupied, Estelle and Kloe (if you decided
to take her with you...), should focus on our friend in white. Obviously,
Estelle has to use Morale before assisting Kloe with Time or Space arts.
Stuff like Dark Matter and Hell Gate are good enough to chop 1000+ HP per
art from our Thief. Soon, you'll strip half his HP, at which point he
will start using his S-Craft, make sure your party is above 3/4ths of
their total so as too ensure whoever takes the hit can survive. By the time
Joshua finishes with his Clown, the Phantom Thief will be close to the
last 1/4th of his HP, so at that point have Mr Fang join in with
Abyss Fall. Soon enough, Agate will also finish with his Clown, which will
prompt the Moron to waste a turn summoning another. However, by this point
he is on his last leg, so keep Agate on Clown-delaying detail while you
finish that a-ho. Then, turn your arts on the remaining Clown(s).
You are bound to reap some heafty reward if B summons several
Bouncing Clowns.
-BossCarnelia Tower [CH7S2]
You are stuck with Zane for this mission, so pick Schera or Kloe to balance
your party, or Agate to dispense some murder. The suggested extra should be
Kevin, since there is weapon for him in the tower.
Also, from this point onward, you'll be able to upgrade your orbment slots
to Level 3 with Payton in the Arseille's workshop. Hope you have the
sepiths. Be sure to do so since you'll soon begin to Gems, the Level 5
quartz, and those can only be installed on a Level 3 Slot.

permanent fixture on our ex-super assasin).
-BossYase Okami
LV - 76
HP - 15870
Attacks:
1. One-Two. Single, normal attack.
2. Sonic Shot. Area (M), can inflict Faint.
3. Infinity Combo. Single, knock back, can inflict Faint.
4. Ultimate Blow. Area (L), S-Craft, can inflict Faint.
Steel Cougar X3
LV - 72
HP - 7240
Attacks:
1. Wind Blade. Line, will change position to the end of the line.
Strategy:
Wolfie the Wall-crusher comes together with 3 Steel Cougars. They have only
one attack, but when they move they can hurt you. As for Wolfie, he is mainly
a physical fighter, so his attacks will be hitting 1 person each time, except
for #2. Also, all his attacks have the chance of inflicting Faint, so wear
the relevant protection. The only attack you should concern yourself is
his S-craft, which is an area (L) attack.
To deal with these people, you need to use area attacks, whether arts or
crafts it doesn't matter, so long as you can hit more than one enemy at a
time. Joshua's crafts Evil Eye and Flicker are invaluable in this fight,
since the Steel Cougars are vulnerable to At Delay. As always, keep yourself
well healed, especially after Wolfie fires his S-craft, and you should
beat him without problem.
-BossSapphirl Tower [CH7S3]
*Note: Be sure to put Kloe in your party for a bit and talk to Antoine
at the stern (the rear) of the Arseille. He'll give you the Gambler Jack
Vol. 10.
For this tower, Scherazard is mandatory, so pick more muscle work to balance
your party (Agate or Zane). In this place you will find weapons for Joshua
and Schera. Also, unlike the other towers, Sapphirl Tower is one straight
path from begining to end.

Alraune X2
2. Strike. Single.
Strategy:
You know how to deal with the gaseous fellas, since they are the same
as in Chapter 4.
Ms Bell is mostly vulnerable to physicals, so lay on her with Moraled
crafts (Dual Strike, Hard Break, any of Agate's and Zane's attack
crafts, Kaempfer 2 will make all of them murder).
She is rather weak, and won't hold up for long to a constant assault.
-BossAmberl Tower [CH7S4]
The last set of weapons, those for Estelle and Tita are located here, so
you should make the bazooka girl a member of your team. The last slot can
be filled with whoever you want, since no one is mandatory for this place.
Treasures
Screen 1: EP Charge III, Reviving Balm,
Screen 2: Tearal Balm, EP Charge II, Sepith Cache (Red Chest),
Zeram Capsule, Taiji Garb (Red Chest), S-Tablet,

When you reach the rest point, save and equip your party with Deathblow
and Petrify protection...or protection against as many status as you
can, since what you get is a bit random.
-BossZenmetsu Tenshi
LV - 78
HP - 13579
Attacks:
1. Slash. Single, Normal attack.
2. Blood Cricle. Area (M), Hurricane-like attack, can inflict Deathblow.
Huge knock back.
3. Blade throw. Line (M), can inflict Deathblow.
4. Rennades. Area (L), S-Craft, can inflict Deathblow.
Vogel 911 EX X6
Attacks:
1. Spin. Normal attack, Single.
2. Status beam. Line (S), inflicts random status.
Strategy:
This little...angel may be small, but those attacks can inflic instant
death. And the 6 little robots can inflict random status on you with their
lasers. The robots should be attacked with Dark Matter, Lost Moebius, Abyss Fall
and Death Scream to expedite their demise. Despite the boss' strengh, this one
doesn't have the defense to back it, so rely on Moraled physicals or Dark Matter
. Joshua's Double Slash and Agate's/Zane's crafts (whichever is fine) will be re
moving good chunks of HP. However, keep an eye on your CP, for there is another
boss after you teach this runt a good lesson.
-BossA scene, then...
-BossPater-Mater
LV - 80
HP - 20000
Attacks:
1. Robo Punch. Single, 'normal' attack.
2. Flying Charge. Line (L), tramples all in its path.
3. Buster Cannon. Line (M), S-Craft.
Strategy:
Our big fella from Chapter 3 is back. And this time you get to
fight him (oh joy).
This is a battle of attrition, where you only deal around 1000-1200 dmg.
So prepare for a long battle. Keep your health always above 1/2 and you
should prevail. If you want your arts to wear down all that HP faster,
you may consider approiate to equip on your designated art-user the
Crimson Eye accessory. Otherwise, Morale, then go at him with crafts.
Either way, it's a slow beat. Not hard, just slow.
-BossSome scenes will take place, as well as a kick-ass FMV!
The theme that plays is called: The Greatest Treasure Released
Boy! do I love that them. It is huevo destilado (distiled Balls,
meaning 'BADASS').
And the chapter will end...

1. Liberl Kingdom Express Tour available!!! Book your place with
our professional guides...sorry, had to be sarcastic. You know:
stress.
-General Information
In short: Trails FC Redux.
As explained in the game, in this chapter you cannot use arts...unless
you wear the special accesory provided by Prof. Russel called the Zero
Field Generator (ZFG from now on). It is located at the very top of the
accesory list when accessing the equip character screen. This accesory
will re-enable you to use arts, and in Tita's case, it is imperative that
she has it equiped if she wants to use her physicals and crafts at all!!
Furthermore, your main quest is to deliver said accesories to the Guild
offices in Rolent, Ruan and Zeiss; and every time you make the delivery,
you will be one accesory short! So to sum it up:
1.You can only use arts (and attack normally with Tita) if you equip your
characters with the special, story-related accesory.
2. You only get 4 of said accesories.
3. Your primary mission is to deliver them to the Guild branches in Rolent,
Ruan and Zeiss.
4. You will loose one accesory when you make the delivery.
and most important
5. You will have to WALK all the way to the Guild branches...
Just like in FC, no airship riding. Add to that the fact that every
branch has several optional quest for you to complete, and this is, without
a doubt, the longest, hardest chapter of the game (maybe from the entire
series). You have the advantage that you can proceed to the other regions
in any order you want.
It would be recommended though, that you follow the same order as you did
during the first disc of the game, that is Bose-Ruan-Zeiss-Grancel and
Rolent.
Also, you will get some really good accesories if you manage to climb again
to the top of the four towers (Amberl, Sapphirl, Carnelia, Esmelas) and
defeat the enemies.
*Note: You'll be promted to change discs whenever you cross from Bose to
Ruan and Rolent to Grancel and back again, so have them discs ready.

who can be located at the Bracer Guild 3F at the end of chapter 8 during
quest [S2.- The Danger in the Capital].
--------------------------!!!REWARD TIME!!!-------------------------Fishing Spots [CH8FSH]
-The whole Kingdom is your fishing spot. Pluck it like an Oyster.
-The most optimal companions for the Brights are Agate and Schera (hate me
again you Agate-haters!). Why? Do the math: Morale + Evil Eye EX +
Spiral Edge 2/Wild Rage 2 + Heaven's Kiss =Ownage to pretty much every
poor soul that dares cross your path.
-Kill the Shining Poms for the quartz, at this point they won't be able to
provide you with decent experience...*sniff*
-Completing the quests and speaking with the populace will also net you a
fair bit of useful quartz/accessories/recipes. So do as ol'man Vogt from
Ruan says and 'care'.
-Might want to consider using the Mira Trick to improve your finances
to buy those sepiths you want at the Grancel Sepith store if you want to
deck your party with the Lv 5 quartz from the Final Dungeon. Also quite
useful if you plan on stocking on the Bose recipes, wheather buying them
directly or accruing ingredients with our pal' Orvid at Anterose's

kitchen.
-Shining Pom Locations: All the previous places you've found them
throughout the Liberl Kingdom (Check the other Chapters)
S1.- Distribution of the ZFGs [CH8S1]
Easy, but it will take a looooong time. You just have to visit the Ruan,
Zeiss and Rolent Guild branches in any order you want. Once you finish, you
will receive a request from Queen Alicia in Grancel, where you must head to
wrap this chapter up. As a recomendation though, visit Bose once more before
going to Grancel and raid the stores. Aside from some very useful recipies,
there is also a weapon for Joshua sold in the market which is his best thus
far.
TOTAL BP - 8
S2.- The Danger in the Capital [CH8S2]
*Note: Elnan gives you a Zeram Powder as soon as the battle at the entrance
of Grancel is over.
This is it, the final quest of the chapter, and also the final one of the
game per se. Before we proceed with the details of the quest, there are a
few check list things to be done:
1. Once you reach the first crossroad on the Royal Avenue coming either
from Sanktheim or Gurune gates, a scene will take place, and from then on
you'll be stucked on the quest until the end, thus preventing you from going
elsewere to buy/upgrade stuff you may have missed.
2. Whoever you got in your party will stay with you for the duration of the
quest (meaning: no changing party members for the rest of the chapter).
and 3. If you still have some unfinished optional quests, too bad, you'll
have to wait until the 2nd playthrough.
So to sum it up: once you witness the scene at the Royal Avenue, there is
no going back.
As for the quest itself, it is surprisingly straighforward. Once you reach
Grancel you must proceed to Grancel Castle. You could take the time to level
up your characters a bit with all the lv80 enemies lurking around, though
keep in mind you won't be able to rest Anywhere, so you'll have to resort
to items for healing. In case you got all 15 Gambler Jack books,
it is advisable to take them to Baral from the cafeteria in Grancel's west
block to get the Zemurian Ore, he is with the rest of the inhabitants
of the capital inside the Bracer's Guild.
Once you fill the need to finish this quest and move to the final chapter
of the game, go to the castle gates, where the boss battle will take place.
Before you take them on, a note on party member choices:
Agate and Schera are perhaps your best choices (even if you don't use the
El Cheapo Tactic).
Since you only have one remaining ZFG it is best to keep it on Schera so
she can use La Tearal, Titanic Roar, Meteo Fall, Aero Storm, Ragna Blast,
and Abyss Fall if possible.
Tita is a hindrance in this fight for obvious reasons (sorry Tita-fans),
for with her in the team you'll be relaying too much on items to heal, since
she needs the ZFG to fire her bazooka.
And our tank-man, Zane doen't have an AT Delay inflicting craft, so Joshua
would be hiting 2 BCRs with Ficker/Evil Eye most of the time.
But it is your choice who to take if you want extra challenge.
So on to the boss...
-BossPale Apache X3
LV - 80
HP - 14480
Attacks:
1. Call allies. Summons a random archaism (Vogels and Port Seekers).
3. Missile voley. Area (S) can inflict Blind.
4. Charging energy. Prepares to fire '5', takes one turn.
5. Break Cannon. Line, inflicts Def Down.
6. Fuel Energy Fuse. Area (M), self-destruct.
Vogel 235 X3
Strategy:
The key to winning this battle without much frustration is to relay on AT
Delay crafts (Joshua and Agate), for the Apaches are vulnerable to them.
So you must position Mr. Black Fang so his Flicker craft can hit 2 of
the BCRs, Agate will take on the other with Spiral Edge 2. Estelle and
Scherazard (if she is your healer, and she should) will deal first with
the Vogels, then Morale/La Forte Joshua and Agate, and proceed to help with
the beating, Estelle with Hard Break/Comet, Schera with area arts. You must
also keep Agate and Joshua fed with Tomatrio Sandwiches and other CP
regeneration items you can afford to use (mostly food items) anytime they
get to low on CP. If you can, cast some Spd up art on Agate, so he can use
his Wild Rage to recover CP and save on the CP recovery items. With this
strategy, the bosses won't be getting even one attack, essencialy turnning
this fight into a cynch.
Should you choose to bring Tita and/or Zane to this fight for some twisted
reason, Estelle and Joshua will keep the same strategy, but Tita will be
your healer with Vital Cannon 2 and Zane will have to do a similar role to
Estelle. With them involved though, there are higher chances that at least
one Apache will begin to move, thus preventing Joshua from Delaying them.
Either way, it is up to you.
-BossAfter the battle, enter the castle and proceed to the royal chambers in the
upper floors, where the stream of scenes that mark the end of the chapter
will take place.

IMPORTANT: To be able to access this quest, first you have to deliver
the ZFG to the Guild.
In Rolent, you have to go to Malga Mine and talk to Landan next to the
elevator in 1F. After the scene, check the "!" mark in the elevator. You
will descend to B1. Your mission is to rescuxe the 5 persons trapped in
the mine.

Armored Crab X5
Attacks:

2. Call Allies. Summons one Armored Crab.
Strategy:
The boss is inmune to AT Delay.
The red crab thingys' boss is here. Since by this point only one ZFG will
remain in your inventory, it is recommended to put Schera in healing duty.
Pelt the boss with your strongest physical crafts while Joshua makes short
work of the lil' crabs with Evil Eye and Double Slash.
Be careful when the boss starts to shine blue, for its attack will steal a
good chunk of CP and Ep as well as the fact that it will summon more red
crabs to help. You can sort-fo circumvent this with Heaven's Kiss.
-BossKilling them will get you a Topaz Gem earth quartz.

HO2.- The Occupation of Jenis [CH8O2]
IMPORTANT: To be able to access this quest, first you have to deliver

After the scenes, Joshua will be alone in the school grounds. Your job is
to check every window with a "!" mark. On the second to last on the main
school building, you'll get a scene and Mr. Black Fang will get a
list of the hostages. After you checked all "!" marks, go to the back gate
(the one that leads to the Old School House) and check the "!" mark.
Joshua will return to the team, and you'll get reinforcements. Take the
chance to use Anelace and Kurt if you want, they are on fairly high level
but will suffer from the restrictions of this chapter, so equip them with
the ZFGs (well, maybe just Kurt).
Once you've chosen your party, the action will begin.
You'll start in the Old School House.

this quest. You need her to finish this quest.
Go to Elmo Village and talk twice with Mrs. Mao. She gives you the Pump

Preparations: Wear Faint protection.
Where to find: From Bose Guild. Just before the first bridge, coming from
Bose. The grey T-rex.
-BossRed Fang X4
LV - 80

Attacks:
1. Bite. Single, normal attack.
Boiler Egger R X2
Boiler Egger G X2
Strategy:
They are like the normal enemies you fought on the dungeon at the end of
[Ch5 That Which One Must Protect], only higher lv and more HP. Easy, since
they are more or less clustered together, and all can be AT Delayed.
Even easier if you equip both Emerald Talismans on your fighters.
The quarry drops a Mute 2 earth quartz.

O5.- New Ansel Path Monster [CH8O5]

-BossS-Series Doom X3
LV - 80
HP - 4921
Attacks:
1. Axe Throw. Single, can inflict Deathblow.
Guard Minion
Broken Piece
Strategy:
The Doom's attacks can cause instant death. Fire at them with Moraled
crafts and wide area arts like Abyss Fall, Lost Moebius, etc.
An easier way of dealing with them is the good combo of Joshua with
Gladiator Belt + Evil Eye. Try to hit as many as possible.
The quarry drops a Strike 2 space quartz.

Amberl Tower Special Monster
If Schera is with you (she should), install the Emerald Gem on her orbment
to have access to Grand Stream, which will be chopping good chunks of their
HP. Also, this is not a 'monster quarry', so you can get a Preemptive
Strike and all the advantages that implies... :)
-BossDimension Bug X3
LV - 80
HP - 13998
Attacks:
Weather Seed X3
Strategy:
Fist, a disclaimer: the following strategy is based on the suggested
party in the Recommendations part (points up). There will be slight
variations in it depending on who is with you. That said, Zane is
probably the only one that will actually have a chance to mess up
the strategy if you are not careful. Consider yourself informed.
Requirements
1st - You MUST get a Preemptive Strike.
2nd - Depending on the tower, one of the Bugs will be vulnerable to
the opposite element (Amberl's to Air, Sapphirl's to Fire...).
Circunvent this by using Time and Space (you know which ones).
3rd - Joushua has to be equipped with the Gladiator's Belt. You
should have it if you have followed the guide.
4th - Estelle and your other fighter must place themselves at the
end of the 'line' made by the Bugs. This is so you do not knock
them back, thus breaking the formation and possibly preventing J
from Evil Eying them.
Everyone's tasks
Estelle - Morale, then MOVE (not attack) to the end of the line
made by the Bugs. Then, use True Comet every turn. If you bring
Zane (what? are u inZANE, get it?! ...don't stare at me...) she
will first help him kill the Weatherseeds before taking her place.
Joshua - Evil Eye EX on the 3 Bugs on the turn that comes before
the enemies'. Meaning: he can squeeze an Abyss Fall before having

to use EE.
Agate - Same as Estelle, sans Morale and uses Draguna Edge instead.
Schera - Uses Time and Space arts, first on the Weatherseeds, then
on the Bugs. Heaven's Kiss if you mess up the turns.
Tita - Smoke Cannon. Firsts on the Weatherseeds, then on the Bugs.
Zane - Don't bring him, PLEASE! ...if you do, place him at the
bottom of the Bug line and have him hit that one to slowly push
it up. Can help Estelle dispose of the Weatherseeds first.
Alternatively, you can have him use Thunder God Kick, though I
don't know if it can knock back the Bugs (haven't really used
him much, 'sept for story purposes).
Killing them gives you the Shield Orb accessory.
-BossRuan Optional Quests
O6.- Gull Seaside Way Monster [CH8O6]
- Expires: you have to fight it to enter/leave Ruan City.
Preparations:
Where to find: It is the weird robot (Bouncing Clown) blocking the way
from to Ruan-Vista Forest. If you come from Bose, you have to fight it
in order to get to Ruan.
-BossBouncing Clown X3
LV - 80
HP - 8745
Attacks:
1. Marionette. Single, damages CP, can inflict seal.
2. Pit Trap. Single.
3. Slash. Single, normal attack.
Vogel 911 EX X3
Strategy:
3 Bouncing Clowns and three small black robots. You fough this robots
before with the Phantom Freak, the strategy is the same, only more Hp.
Killing them will earn you a Sleep 2 air quartz.

-BossZeiss Optional Quests
Take particular care when going through Kaldia Tunnel, for anyone not
equipped with the Night Goggles (you should have at least 2 pairs, you can
buy more at O'Neal's Duty Free Shop right outside Ruan's Airport)
will be inflicted with Blind. Also, there is a special monster in the
tunnel: 2 Divine Penguins. You can find them at Screen 3 right before
reaching Zeiss. Just enter the small tunnel. It is the south easternmost
part of the map.
-Sub BossDivine Penguin X2

Teleport. Randomly changes place in the battlefield.
Snacktime!. Recover HP.
Swordfish Storm. Area attack. Can inflict Confuse.
Strategy:
Be sure to get a Preemptive Strike when engaging them.
This pair of bastards is particularly complicated if you don't have the
NGs equipped. They are the same as the boss from quest [CH2O10]
on Ch2, including the fact that their attacks will inflict vasious status
to you. This is an arts battle, just be sure you have at least 2 ZFGs
equipped on Schera and whoever you deem adecuate (probably Joshua).
Killing them gets you a Divine Cross accessory.
-Sub BossO8.- Ritter Roadway Monster [CH8O8]

Preparations: Wear Deathblow protection.
Where to find: Blade Cougar is just outside of Zeiss' eastern exit.
-BossBlade Cougar X5
LV - 80
HP - 5866
Attacks:
1. Wind Blade. Line, can inflict Deathblow.

trouble.

Stream, Arc Prominence, Titanic Roar...).
Killing them gets you Blind 2 time quartz.
-BossTOTAL BP - 5
O9.- Tratt Plains Mosnter [CH8O9]

Preparations:
Where to find: The gaint worm on the screen just before Wolf Fort
(on the road).
-BossAbyss Worm X8
LV - 80
HP - 12805
Attacks:
1. Lightning Fall. Single, can cause Blind.
2. Earth-Shaker. Area (All), earth, only used when injured.
3. Absorb Nutrients. Steals some HP from target.
Strategy:
Many people at the boards have stated that this fellas are a pain.
And they can be, if you don't know the trick: namely the condition
for them to use Earth-Shaker (*urges you to re-read attack 2
description).
What you have to do is simple: either make sure the Worms you are
targeting with Aerial/Aero Storm are always AT Delayed by Joshua
(and Agate if one of them should escape un-Delayed), or go at one
at a time with Single-target crafts.
Whichever method you choose, always have Joshua ready to AT Delay
as many Worms as you can fit in Evil Eye EX's Area (M). DO NOT
use area crafts/arts with fixed targeting (i.e. that you can't
place where you want), or that will knock back the Worms. Keep
them as close to one-another as you can. Properly done, you can
deal with 4 of them at a time while the others use the less
dangerous attack 1. Attack 3 is only a nuisance.
And please: leave Tita out of this. Smoke Cannon 2 is strong, but
might fail, and the Worms are immune to Blind, plus arts will
do more damage, which are not Tita's forte, mind you.
This should make the battle easier.
Killing them gets you the Poison 2 earth quartz.

the usual Evil Eying on the Vanguards to take them away from your

assaulting them with the long-range stuff.

use either Area (All) arts (Titanic Roar is a good one here)

That really saved me some time...

Most of the Chapter/Final Dungeon is not complicated. Except for
the Tunnels connecting Areas, you can move the camera at will, so
finding chests is not that hard. Regarding the bosses, if you have
trouble with them (mostly in Area 4), there is a place inside the
passage connecting to Area 3 and Area 4 where you will find a battle
with 6 Lv 90 Shining Poms accompanying the squid (Kailash Gray). Use
the El-Cheapo method with Agate or the time art Death Scream (the one
that targets all the battlefield) to kill as many as possible; you may
consider equiping the Deathblow 1 and Deathblow 2 quartz you may have.
Don't hestitate to use all-battlefield S-crafts to ensure all Poms die
(Black Fang, anyone?).
While you try again to fight the Poms, recover your Cp using Tomatrio
Sandwiches or fighting other enemies rotating the Gladiator Belts you
have between characters. With this method, it should only take 2 fights
with the Poms per pair of characters to make them reach lv90-91. Once
you have the minimum required level, make sure you have enough Tomatrio
Sandwiches, Tear All Balms, Power Meat Stew, Aseru Tonics (those that
revive to 100% of your Hp) for you'll be doing all your healing with
items from this battle onward, and your main attackers equipped with
Def5, Spd5 and Att5 quartz gotten from the online shops at the train
sations of each sector.
This should put you on par with the Final Boss, making more bearable
the fights in Area 4.
Tunnel 2 (Cradle to Factoria) - Weather Seed
Tunnel 3 (Factoria to Axis Pillar) - Kailash Gray, Ebony Scale

The game's final chapter opens up with the coolest scenes so far, after
which you'll be prompted to choose your party members. Oliver, Kloe and
Kevin rejoin at this point, though Oliver will be at a very low level,
around lv67-68, while Kloe and Kevin will be at the level they were at
the end of [Ch7 The Tetracyclic Towers]. Buy/upgrade their equipment and
quartz, which from now on will be done mostly within the Arseile. The ship
has all the necessary shops, just like on Ch7. When you are ready to
leave, go to the lowest deck of the ship, where the lift is, and exit
through the door.
You'll be on the final dungeon.
S1.- +!!!!!SPOILER!!!!!+ [CH9S1]
Area 1 Calmare:
The 1st sector where you'll find the Arseile on the fist screen, and a
floating platform and a strange shack on the second screen. Take the
platform to Calmare Station . There is a computer in the center
that can unlock the shack in Area 1 Calmare, as well as activating a
train, and perfoming online Quartz upgrade, buy at least 1 of each of the
quartz (for Oliver mostly), they are the lv5 water and fire quartz, though
be careful, for they cost 1000 sepiths a piece. When ready, return to the
platform and enter the now-opened shack. The path inside is rather straight
forward, with the deviations leading only to chests. The one containing an
enemy encounter has a weapon for Kevin. When you reach the exit, you'll be
on the 2nd sector.
Tunnel 1 Treasures: Dominion (White Chest/monster), Silver Gem (White Chest),
Sepith Cache, Reviving Balm, EP Charge II, Tearal Balm, Onyx Gem
(White Chest), Zeram Powder, Curia Balm
Area 2 Cradle:
Here you will find some houses with strange computers that offer
information on the final dungeon. For the moment, you won't be able to
do more than that with them, so raid the chests and proceed to the next
screen to the east, here you'll fight an easy battle and encounter an
old face. After the scenes, you can choose a new party to accomodate Gunner.
If you enter the green ship nearby, you can use the rest point inside.
Search the red buildning for more chest and a computer at the back that
will confuse you a bit. You must now return to Area 1 Calmare. Go to
the floating platform you will find at the south west end of this place
together with a door to the undeground paths. The lift will take you to
Cradle Station, where you can upgrade Gunner's slots and buy lv5 earth
and wind quartz. After you activate the train with the computer, you
can finally use it to move quickly between the Calmare and Cradle areas.
Cradle Treasures:
Screen 1: Smelling Salts, Sepith Cache, Sepith Cache, EP Charge II,
Resurrect Jelly -recipe- (Terminal inside House), Ingredient Cache,
Ingredient Cache, Ingredient Cache, Data Cristal Z (Terminal in Bar
Building, only if you got the Zemurian Ore), Tear All Balm
Screen 2: Gold Gem, S-Tablet
Area 1 Calmare:
For now, enter the Arseile and talk with Prof. Russel. He will tell you
to check the Capel for clues. The name you'll have to input in the machine
in Area 2 Cradle is located in the file #0. After checking the Data
Crystal file #0, put Kloe in your party and return to Cradle.
Area 2 Cradle:
Go back to the red building and approach the computer in the back, there
choose the 2nd option. When prompted, choose 'Kloe', then 'Celeste' 'D'
'Auslese'. You'll get an Original Gospel UEI (you can use it with Triangle).
With this, go to Station 35 Cradle and use the Gospel by holding
Triangle and pressing the R button in front of the computer. The gate
below the lift will open. Navigate the new underground path (there are
weapons for Zane and Agate in here) until you come out in a new sector.
Tunnel 2 Treasures:
Celestial Balm, Sepith Cache, Briarios (White Chest), Hermes Gear (White
Chest/monster), Wind Gem (White Chest), Celestial Balm, Lion King's Sword
(White Chest), Persetear (White Chest)
Area 3 Factoria:
Factoria is a large place compossed of roads mostly. On section 1 you'll
find a chest with a new bazooka for Tita (yay!). On part 2 you can find
the lift to the train station and the shack that leads underground. Take
this time to level up a bit any character you think will need it and that
you plan to use, as well as buy the lv5 EpHalver, EpUp and SpeedUp space,
mirage and time quartz respectively that you may need. To open the shack
you'll need a password, so you know what you need now.
Proceed to Factoria section 3. In here you'll find an old sight. During
the scenes, Estelle will suggest to bring Gunner along (since this place
concerns the character). I don't know if you have to do so, but in case it
is, all strategies for this place will be involving Gunner.
Once you have the afformentioned character in your party, approach the
guards (easy battle).
Factoria Treasures:
Screen 1: Omega Craft (White Chest), Mirage Gem (White Chest), Sepith Cache
'The Place' (No spoilers allowed):
Treasures
Floor 1: Tear Balm, Smelling Salts, EP Charge II, Sepith Cache,

Floor 4: Security Card.
Cells: Sepith Cache, Jagd Guarders
You've been in this place before, so it is easy to navigate, plus all
enemies in the route you took before are wimps (you've gain some levels
since then...) and any treasure you got then is gone now. So only concern
yourself with the stuff on the rooms on the main corridors, which will now
be traversable, where you'll find a gun for Oliver/Gunner, a brand new whip
for Schera and a rapier for Kloe. Also, the enemies you find here will be
very good to bring Gunner's level if you haven't use that character. On
the last door on the first corridor, you'll find some stairs going down
to where your objective is, but as Joshua says in the cutscene, you'll
need a cardkey. So backtrack to the entrance and enter the elevator, and
pass the next corridor to get to the upper exit. There is here a rest
point you should use if you are hurt, for next is a sub boss.
-BossPale Apache X3
LV - 82
HP - 18800
Attacks:
Strategy:
ou know the drill with them, so fire Flicker and Evil Eye to give youtself
more advantage. When the last Apache explodes, it will leave one smaller
robot with a big rifle. He is a pushover that can fall quickly, for it
shares the Apaches weakness to AT Delay.
-BossEnter the door and pass this last corridor into one final elevator. You'll
be back in a familiar place. Search the rooms on the lower hallway, the
cardkey is in the last door. Once you got it backtrack to the cells.
On the second corridor (after a rest point at the base of the big red
stairs) you'll encounter a scene and a boss.
-BossRiot Arms
LV - 82
HP - 18207
Attacks:
1. Claw Swipe. Single, normal attack.
2. Riot Wave. Line.
New Jaeger Captain
LV - 78
HP - 9132
Attacks:
Strategy:
I'm tired of kicking yer arse, boy. The blue-haired wimp comes now with
a big dog/lion robot thingy, which is the main issue in this battle.
The wimp can be taken down rather fast with Joshua's Flicker/Double
Slash combo and Agate's Spiral Edge, as well as your favorite area arts.
His pet robot is easier to bring down with Dark Matter (save yourself
some EP Chargers).
-BossOnce the wimp is kissing the floor in his dreams, proceed to the entrance
level and the stairs to the cell block. Here use the cardkey on the
console, open first cells number 2 and 4, for once you open cell #1
(your target), some scene will play automatically and you won't ever
return to this place or hear this kick ass theme.
Area 2 Cradle:
You'll be back on the house next to the green ship, "Gunner" will become
a permanent team member and will get the S-craft Wild Cat (about time!).
Once you regain control, go into the green ship and talk to Kile
(blue-haired guy by on the first screen when you enter). When prompted,
choose 3rd otion and he will tell you the password for the computer on
the Factoria station.
Area 3 Factoria:
Back in the Factoria station, go to the computer, use the Gospel with
Triangle + R and choose the second option when prompted (the password
is Orpheus, but that third option means someone is a fan of LOTR, for that
one is a referrence to Gandalf's true name...FYI). The shack to the
underground in Factoria's 2nd sector will be open for you. There are no
weapons for your party here, but the white squids can come accompanied by
Snining Poms! If you find them, you can get about 9999 exp in one shot if
you manage to beat them all, so good luck.
Tunnel 3 Treasures:
Sepith Cache, Curia Balm, EP Charge II, Celestial Balm, EP Charge III,
Spiegel Shoes (White Chest/monstere), Sepith Cache, Curia Balm, Wood Gem
(White Chest), S-Tablet, Curia Balm, Emergency Puppet, EP Charge II, Tear
All Balm, Water Gem (White Chest), Parthenon Gear (White Chest/monster)
Area 4 Axis Pillar:
You'll come out of
and another shack,
suggest to repport
the train, then go
the tunnels in this quiet empty place. There is a lift

though this one will be locked for some time. Joshua
back to the Arseille so ride the lift and activate
back to Calmare.
Area 1 Calmare:
On the Arseille, speak to Kloe/Julia on the bridge. A scene after, both
"Knight" and "Swordsman" will join your party (yeah baby!). They use
the same weapons as Kloe and Agate, so switch them whenever you include
them in the party. Back to Axis Pillar.
Area 4 Axis Pillar:
Ok, the final dungeon's final treck. At the entrance (the second screen)
you'll fight another one of those lion-like robots.

Solid Seeker X2
Strategy:
The exact same thing you fought back in Factoria's "Place" together with
the wimp. Strategy is the same.
-BossThe door guard eliminated, enter the building. This place is one straight
road, where you have to "go around" until you reach a yellow platform,
which is the elevator. You will notice a strange platform at the entrance
too, which will be important later, but for now remains offline. So get
to the elevator and ride it to the 2nd level of this place. Here you'll
find a door locked by a red light barrier, and another of those strange
platforms. Save here, and go to the only other available exit. Some
secenes, and your friend the Phantom Thief will appear for one last
shine in the stage.

Attacks:
1. Magic A Little. Area (M), shrinks targets and halves status parameters.
2. Shadow Cast. Creates 1 copy of himself.
3. Akashik Rain. Area (All).
4. Death Magic. Single, S-Craft.
5. Magic Knife. Single, normal attack.
6. Wild Card. Area (M), inflicts mute.
7. Demonappear. Summons a Bouncing Clown.
Bouncing Clown X2
Strategy:
It is time to put an end to his act. Things are similar to your last
encounter in Esmelas Tower, even his allies.
The Thief has gotten a new card up his sleeve, namely attack no. 1.
This attack will almost always be his opening move, so if you did not
spread your party at the begining, chances are most (or all) will be
affected by it. With your status halved it will be easy to loose party
members easily, so right of the bat start using La Crest or (better yet)
Zodiac to soften the blows. Then proceed as you did way back at Esmelas
Tower and have J Evil Eye/Flicker the Bouncing Clowns.
However, this time the Thief will be using Akashik Rain a lot more
often so be ready to heal. Ensure you never fall below the Half HP
mark, or 2 consecutive 5s or 6s from the Boss and your characer is
toast. There is little you can do about the 'reduced' (and it is
meant to be a pun) status except for weathering down the effect,
which takes about six or seven turns/a characer is KOed.
Still, even with this to his favor, the Thief is rather weak, and a
constant stream of Hard Breaks, Dual Strikes, Spiral/Draguna Edges,
Smites and all other offensive crafts will put him on his knees quite
quickly, dimnished size and all (talk about humiliating.
And remember: when he clones himself, attack the real one, which is
on lv88; AND can be Debuffed. Once the real one is hit, the clones
go puff and all.

2 levels up, you'll come to another locked door and off line teleporter.

Shadow Cougar X2

2. Wind Blade. Line, switches places.
3. Seal Blade. Single, can inflict Seal.
Strategy:
Turns out that a-ho was only the appetizer. The Direwolf will give you
a good pounding.
Wolfie comes together with 2 Shadow Cougars, which are succeptible to AT
Delay, so Joshua's main task in this fight is ensuring those two get no
chance to act (pray their Wind Blade puts them on an Evil Eye situation).
Now, what you have to look for are attacks number 2, 4 and 5. The first
is his most dangerous one, and the sick bastard will often use it on
characters that use more arts (offensive or othewise, as far as my
experience for this battle goes, it may be different for you, dear
reader). Numbers 4 and 5 are area attacks and the last will decrease
Str! Which you might want to remedy with a valuable S-Tablet/null it
with a Buff.
Other than that, focus first on the kitties while you move your
art-user as far away as possible from him. Once alone, thise glorified
dog will be easy to dispatch.
-BossYou know the drill, after the scenes, back to the Arseile to heal/change
party members. This time, it is Schera's turn. Keep climbing the tower to
the fifth floor, with another exit to a terrace. Save, equip protection
against Confusion and Sleep, then go to the terrace.

Alraune X2
2. Strike. Single.
Strategy:
Madam Mist is back with her pests Zaqqum and Jubokko, and their Alraunes.
They behave exactly as in the previous encounters. The one who has new
aces under her wide sleeves is the Bewitching Bell herself.
From those four, the one you'll have to be careful is the teleport/clonig.
You see, if you target one of her clones by accident, it will switch for
a random party member, and you'll end up hurting a commarade. The clones
themselves can only attack one character, and are on a lower lever than
the Bittchin' Bell, and will dissapear when the real one is hit.
For this battle, it is better if you deal with Zaqqum, the Alraunes and
Ms Bell first, for any physical that hits Jubokko will heal him. Use only
single-target crafts and spells until only Jubokko remains. Same goes
for S-crafts, so configure them before the battle. Once Jubokko is alone,
pelt him with Earth Lance earth art.
-BossOne more Enforcer to deal with. For the next fight, Tita and Kloe are a
good...scratch it, more than adecuate choices. It is also imperative that
you equip your party with Deathblow protection before proceeding to the
last terrace. Faint is optional.

3. Blood Circle. Area (M), knocks back.
4. Rennede. S-craft, Area (M).
And all her attacks can cause Deathblow if unprotected against it.
Pater-Mater
LV - 90
HP - 45000
Attacks:
1. A robo-punch that can cause faint and take half of a character's Hp.
2. Flying charge. Line (as wide as he is). Changes places.
3. Gaint Press. Graving and squeezing a character like a grape, causing
Deathblow unless protected against it.
4. Double Buster Cannon. S-Craft, Line (as wide as he is).
5. Revival Beam. Reviving the damn brat with 10000 Hp!

Strategy:
Now things start to get more interesting. The Angel of Slaughter, that
little brat with the scythe will go at you with the help of her giant pink
robot, Pater-Mater at full power.
You can see then that the objective of this battle is Pater-Mater, not
the Enforcer brat.
Like before, this is a battle of attrition. Pater-Mater has 45000 Hp,
and if you don't use Morale/La Forte, you won't do much damage to him.
Try also to use area crafts to hit the brat in the process, for any time
she falls, Pater-Mater will waste a turn reviving her.
Keep well healed and you shall prevail.

The roof is close, an so is the last treck of the game. If you thought
the last two battles were hard, the next one is a nightmare. Not only
will the next bosses are the last ones, they are incredibly hard. To
begin with, the first 3 are on level 95! They happen to have an insane
ammount of Hp and have allies. Your party can only get as high as lv92-93,
and it is imperative that you are AT LEAST on lv90 to stand a chance
against them. Also, whoever two characters you choose to bring with you
to will have to stick to the end of the game, so choose wisely.
So, to begin the preparations for the last bosses, you need to level up
your 2 companions.
The fastest way to do so is to go to Factoria, enter the tunnels connecting
to Axis Pllar and finding the first possible white squid enemy, which
should be 4 screens inside entering from Factoria. Make contact with it
from behind and escape until you get into a fight with 6 lv90 Shining Poms
accompanying the squid. Use the El-Cheapo method with Agate or the time
art Dis Scream (the one that targets all the battlefield) to kill as many
as possible; you may consider equiping the Deathblow1 and Deathblow2
quartz you may have. Don't hestitate to use all-battlefield S-crafts to
ensure all Poms die (Black Fang, anyone?). While you try again to
fight the Poms, recover your Cp using Tomato Sandwiches or fighting other
enemies rotating the Gladiator Belts you have between characters. With
this method, it should only take 2 fights with the Poms per pair of
characters to make them reach lv90-91. Once you have the minimum required level,
make sure you have enough (at leas 15 of each) Tomatrio Sandwiches, Tear All Ba
lms, Worldly Stew, Celestial Balms, Mighty Essence and anything else you think w
ill do. All this 'cause you'll be doing all your healing with items from this ba
ttle onward, and your main attackers equipped with Defense 5, Action 5 and Attac
k 5 quartz (the Topaz, Onyx and Ruby Gems) gotten from the online shops at the t
rain sations of each sector.
For the last fights of the game, high Str, Def and Spd are Imperative. Make
sure you also come with a full CP bars. They will make your life easier for
the first 'phase'.
Once you've chosen your final party, proceed to the top of the tower, which
is after the only rest point in the building.
Some short, cool introductory scenes, and the fun begins!
-BossThe Bladelord
LV - 95

Attacks:
1. A normal slash (quite powerful).
2. A wave slash that will cancel arts.
3. Preparing art. Charges for one turn (basically, a freebie since
you can cancel it, thanks Aidios for small mercies!).
4. Silver Thorn. Area (M), can inflict Confuse with 90% probability.
4. Body Split. Creates one Lv 95, 15960 HP clone (oh joy).
5. Demon Flames. Area (All), can inflict Faint.
6. Dead Emperor's Sword. S-craft, Area (All), can inflict Freeze.

2. Riot Star. Area (M).
3. Riot Wave. Line (M).
4. Riot Press. Single, can inflict Faint.
5. Plasma Ball. Single, can inflict Seal.
Strategy:
He was the hardest boss in FC, he is the hardest in this game too. The
Bladelord deserves his title, for he is the other four Enforcers
combined. Seriously. He comes together with two lion-bots like the wimp's, and t
hough they ain't that strong or fast, they can get in your way. I
don't wanna see what he can do on Hard or Nightmare difficulties!!
Also, the clones are near-perfect copies of himself! They come with his
15960 Hp, they hit as hard as him and cannot be Debuffed; plus they will
only go away when you either kill them as normal enemies or if he (the
original) is killed.
So, how to deal with this guy?
I'll be splitting this fight into 3 phases, which I'll clarify are mostly
independant from his HP (old strategy goes bye-bye). First, let us go
through the DEFENSIVE part of the fight.
1 - Riot Saber Phase
First a warning: his opening move has a 50-50 chance of being an S-Craft,
EITHER one (5 or 6, he 'did' say he was getting serious). So we'll take
TWO approaches: If S-Craft, begin healing your charcaters (prioritize on
those who are in the red) using Mighty Essence food items. Aside from
healing, they provide an added Str-Def bonus! Which is good. At this
point, while your party is in danger of being slaughtered (especially
the art-users) don't hoard that CP, just use the S-Crafts. For one
thing, they will chop good chunks of the Sabers' HP and will put some
useful dents on the Bladelord's, thus ensuring you get the best for your
buck if you end up loosing half your party.
Now If he DOESN'T use an S-Craft, OR when you manage to weather those
first 2 rounds of his and healed-buffed your party, we can move to the
second approach: Have one of your characters cast Clock Down on him
ASAP. You might want to have another characer WHO IS NOT CLOSE to the
first Clock Down caster prepare another one too; this in case he chooses
to use attack #2. Once his Spd has been halved, you are through the
hardest part (take deep breath, relax controller/PSP/PSVita death grip).
His two allies will mess up things a bit, especially with their Charge
and Star attacks. They can be Debuffed, though it won't really matter
that much unless you have 2 art-users that can cast Clock Down on them
to give your party more turns.
As for the Bladelord, once the sheer terror of the opening moves is
over, you can be sure there is a chance to exploit his attack #3,
which queues in your chances for Buffing/Debuffing. Make the best of
this time so you have a better footing during the later part of the
fight. Remeber to heal-buff with Mighty Essence Once per Character
and cast Clock Up EX and all party members.
Once the Sabers are below 4800 HP, our white-haired Ubber-boss will
begin the
2 - Clone Phase
You might want to throw 2 S-Crafts (make Phantom Raid one of them) to
finish any remaining Riot Sabers, and hurt them clones a bit. He can
summon a max of 4 clones (that I've seen). Now, unlike that first
time 3 years ago, I can say with a good measure of confidence that
the clone-Bladelords only use the normal attack (1), this translates
into a less stressfull thing than I remembered, since they tend to
gather around the larger bulk of your party, and though they can't
be Debuffed (use that fact to pinpoint the original) they can get
in the way of the True One. This is especially useful if you kill
them, for they can act as a shield of sorts. Silver Thorn is still
used, though it will be less often, plus the Bladelord will clone
himself some more every time you kill one of his copies. Properly
Debuffed, you're chances of ending this brutal fiesta without
spending too many items improve.
NOW we know what we are against, it's time to move onto the Offensive
Phase. Let's assign roles:
-Fighters use their strongest crafts to hurt him and the Sabers. Split
the task, preferrably having Estelle using True Hard Break on as many
targets as possible, especially if the BladeLord is foolish enough to
begin casting Silver Thorn.
-Art-users are on Clock Up EX and healing duty, throwing an occasional
Abyss Fall/Dark Matter to help destroy the Sabers/clones.
-Agate alternates between Wild Rage 2 and Dragon Dive. He can be called
the Fast-But-Costly method, since he has good chances of being killed
often, thus having you spend some Celestial Balms on him, since you
can't risk bringing him back with less than Half his HP.
-Kloe is on full-time healing with Tearal and Tear All (and their Area
versions), and maintaining Buffs-Debuffs on the party. Keep her well
away from the center of the battle. Make sure she uses the occasional
Kaempfer 2 on our Bladelord. It will make life So. Much. Easier!
And please DO NOT forget she has Lichtkreis 2 (panic button, use if
True Bladelord has a Critical/Str Up turn coming).
-Kevin adheres to the art-user task, but throws in the mix his Grail
Sphere as S-Breaking the Bladelord's Critical and Str Up turns.
Through the whole fight, ensure you can S-Break him whenever possible
(Critical and Str Up turns). You see, on those turns he has a higher
chance of using his two S-Crafts...and at this point explanations
about the outcome are moot. This fight involves a bit of luck, since he is a lit
tle unpredictable and I haven't (and most likely won't) sat down to learn his pa
tterns. Just keep him Debuffed and under constant onslaught, and he should fall.
..
-----------------------------!DISCOVERY!---------------------------This came as a surprise since I'm sure, as everyone that has ever
fought this guy here would NEVER do, but if you got the Bladelord
to 10000 HP or less before he kills your party (and trust me:
HE can do it thus proving that he is somewhat unpredictable), choose
the Continue option...
I won't spoil the surprise! ;) (and I will never, ever stop being
amazed at Falcom's wickedness!!! Bless you lads! U R SOOOO COOL!)
*Note: This is not 100% sure. Confirmation is required.
-----------------------------!DISCOVERY!----------------------------BossOur mighty one will 'reward' you (as in droping) a Gladiator Belt!
If you have the one from the MAX BP reward equipped on Joshua,
this one is for Estelle...or for your other favorite craft machine.
*Note: You can save between fights. Do so on a SEPARATE FILE, please.
After more, very cool scenes, Joshua will leave your party, and Estelle
and your other 2 companions will proceed to the last area of the game...
...but not before another boss appears in your way.
-BossT.M. Dragion
LV - 90
HP - 20000
Attacks:
1. Robo-punch. Normal attack, knocks back.
2. Hyper Laser. Line (M).
3. Flying Charge. Line, changes possision.
4. Energy Charging. Prepares a powerful Area (All) blast.
5. Powerful Area (All) blast. I'm sorry, I killed him too fast to
learn the name...hehehehe :)
Strategy:
Compared to the previous battle, this one is easy. He may be big, but he
is slower and weaker than the Bladelord.
None of his attacks are that damaging. Moraled crafts and Dark Matters
are enough to deal with him.
You may even choose to go at him with Moraled/Forted normal attacks
if your Level is high enough (Lv 93+). *yawn*.
-BossArea 5 Themelios Zone:
This is it, the anteroom of the final boss. Use that well needed rest
point, fill your Cp with Tomatrio Sandwiches, and proceed down the hall.
There are some enemies, but they can, and should be avoided since they
are there only to hinder you and make you waste resources.
After the 3rd enemy is left behind there will be a screen change, and
you'll come face to face with the final boss.
I clarify for those who have complains about our final boss: he was
INTENTIONALLY made to be considered a truly disgusting and repelent
excuse of a carbon-based life-form. Estelle sums it up n.i.c.e.l.y.
Also, Joshua will rejoin your party after some scenes.
-BossThe Faceless
LV - 95
HP - 19549
Attacks:
1. Thunder of Justice. Area (All), can inflict Seal.
2. Casting Art Guard on himself and his beam pods.
3. Another Dimension. S-craft, inflicts Confuse.
4. Banish. Expels ONE character from the battle (WHUT?!).
5. Dark Matter EX. Instant cast, Area (M), clusters targets, inflicts Mov
Down.
6. True Evil. Area (M), inflicts Confuse.
Combat Shell X4
Strategy:
The Prof. has 4 beam pods to help him, all of which are succeptible to
Evil Eye and other AT Delay crafts (J, Agate, you know what to do).
Attack #4 is the one to worry about, for it will reduse your fighting
power. As for the offensive, Joshua should try to take as many beam pods
with his Evil Eye, while your main fighter uses strong, Moraled/Forted
area crafts. The art-users alternate between healing and Abyss Fall,
Lost Moebius and the like.
Try not to prolong the battle to much, for he will make more characters
dissappear, and they will loose all CP/EP when they reappear on the next
battle.
Fortunely, he doesn't have much Hp.
-BossA short scene, then it's round 2...or not, for you cannot harm the final
boss, and after one attack the fight will end. Before that happens, take
the chance to recover Hp/EP/Cp with items, so as to begin on better
footing the next round.
Some badass scene later, sh** gets real.
-BossThe Faceless Angel - Form 1
LV - 95
HP - 69000
Attacks:
1. Lightning. Line.
2. Godly Lance Inanna. Area (M) inclicts Def down.

3. Casting a curative light on one character and inflicting Confuse.
4. Preparing to use arts. Charges for one turn. Cannot be canceled.
Def and Adf will go Down while he is charging.
5. Use an upper tier art (arts seen: Abyss Fall, Geo Catastrophe,
Arc Prominence).
6. Summon Ally. Calls a new Greed Looper.
Greed Looper X4
Lv - 90
HP - 9050
Attacks:
1. Regenerate. Cures a small (negligible) ammount of HP.
2. Life Steal. Sucks a GOOD ammount of HP/EP/CP from one target.
(you bi...!)
Strategy:
The Prof. has experienced a serious growth, both in size and HP total
(69000). His pods too, but they remain succeptible to AT Delay, so Evil
Eye/Spiral Edge/Flicker them again.
First of all, take a look at this HD model of the battle field.

...close enough. The point is giving an idea. Place your characters
like this:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Estelle, Other Fighter, or Agate.

Estelle, Other Fighter, or Agate.
Joshua.
Regular Art-User.
With this placement, HE WILL NOT USE ATTACK #2. The FA (dare you to
think a more fitting name for him using those initials, and yes: we
mexicans, especially those from the center of the Republica, like to
use A LOT of profanities) only uses said attack when 2 or more
characters are close enough. The other advantage, especially if you
are using Agate is that you have a good enough range from those points
to use your AT Delay crafts on the Greeds.
So, lets go into the tasks:
Estelle - Pick a side. True Hard Break on the FA.
Joshua - He is tasked In Perpetua with Evil Eying/Flickering the
Greeds. Period.
Agate - Pick a side. Alternates between Spiral Edge 2 (the closest
Greed) and Flame Smash 2 (FA).
Zane - Smite.
Mueller - Lanzenreiter.
Julia - Mirage Edge.
Tita (Fighter) - Smoke Cannon 2. Can emergency-heal with Vital

Cannon.
Olivier - Rellies on Abyss Fall and Lost Moebius. Happy Trigger for
emergency healling.
Kloe - La Tearal/La Tear All on Joshua on emergencies, uses
Abyss Fall.
Schera - Heaven's Kiss on Joshua. Abyss Fall and Lost Moebius.
Kevin - Sacred Breath on Joshua. Abyss Fall and Lost Moebius.
If in a pinch, Grail Sphere.
Tita (Art-User) - Vital Cannon for healing. Can still help with
Smoke Cannon 2.
Josette - Atlas Hammer. Any Tear art you manage to squeeze in that
Orbment. Better yet: Don't bother with this one.
If I missed someone, be sure to tell me.
All party members use a Mighty Essence on their 1st turn, then
Clock Up EX/self on the 2nd. Then proceed with their tasks.
Afterwards, Buffs are the task of your Regular Art-User.
Keep your buffs, CP and HP up at all time and his 69000 HP will be
drained faster than you think.
-BossAlmost there...
*Note: You can save between fights. Do so on a SEPARATE FILE, please.
-BossThe Faceless Angel - Final Form
LV - 99
HP - 99999
Attacks:
1. Change Atribute. Def Up. Self.
2. Claw Swipe. Area (L), knocks way back.
3. Goldy Lance Inanna. Area (M), inflicts Def and Adf Down.
3. Lightning. Single.
4. Summon more Alpha Omegas to replace those that fall.
5. Drain all Cp from All party members (annoying as hell).
6. Begin a charge attack (his Def & Atd go down, that is actually good).
You can actually cancel it!
7. Upping his Str & Spd (bad).
8. Angel Beam. S-craft, Area (All). Follows on next turn after #7.
9. Ruined World Noaba. Banish Area (S/a 'cross' of tiles). Begins using
it after crossing the 25000 HP mark. Takes the longest to cast.
10. Seprent Tail (sorry, name was too long and could not read it fast
enough...next time). Single, cancels art-execution and inflicts Def Down.
Alpha Omega X4
LV - 99
HP - 12000
Attacks:
1. Starlight. Self, Str and Spd Up

2. Blink. Single, normal attack.
3. Break Floor. Shatters ONE tile from the battle field! Won't work if
a character is occupying it.
Strategy:
This is it, the final round, and boy will it be long. He has 99999 HP, 4
allies called Alpha Omegas with 12000 HP and high defense, as well as many power
ful attacks, most of which are as cheap as him...
OK, three years after=new strategy. It goes like this:
Don't bother changing positions for now. Instead, make sure your Art-User
has access to most arts of all elements. Then (copy-pasted from above
strategy) all party members use a Mighty Essence on their 1rst turn, then
Clock Up EX on the 2nd.
FA should be changing atribute, and bringing his Def Down. Unless you are
above Lv 95, which is highly unlikely, even with Shining Poms (only beating
the Bladelord and T.M. Dragion give meaningful experience after that), your Str
won't be enough to do more than 3-digit damage to him, so don't bother. Better t
o use those crafts from our less art-gifted troops on the AOs.
Anyone who can (and has the Cast 2 quartz installed) must help exploit the
FA's current weakness. This part is slow, but if you have enough Tearal and Tear
All items you, there won't be much issue.
Somewhere around the 70-60 thousand HP mark, FA will pop attack #6. You
will identify it by the red halo/sphere sorrounding him. That is your queue
to address him with the Tasks mentioned in the previous battle. Just make
sure to use crafts that inflict Impede (with those that can). This will
ensure he enters a loop, where he begins casting, you Impede him...etc.
This part will go incredibly quick. Even Lv 93 Fighters will be chopping
AT LEAST 2000 HP per hit (and Joshua's Dual Strike can 'almost' double
that).
Don't rush things though. Take some time to remove any remaining Alpha
Omegas before you drop his HP below the final mark.
And then, when he FINALLY crosses the 25000 HP mark, our cheap bastard
will pull out attack 9! You cannot cancel it. Period. Immediatly move
any character in close proximity from the target, which cannot be saved
AND won't return Ever. Again.
It matters little, though. Just keep the onslaught ignoring any surviving
AOs you might have neglected to kill. It won't take long to chop 15000 HP
and then pulling some S-Crafts on him. Just make sure the target of the
Ruined World Noaba gets to have first go...
...and that's all she plotted!
-BossThere will be some scenes, and you will regain control of Joshua and Estelle for
the last time in the game. Follow the path back to the exit of Sector 4, and he
ad to the other shack, the one that was previously unaccessible. Enter the now o
pen door, and follow the path until a scene occurs (don't worry, you can take as
much as you want to get there), then sit back, and enjoy the well deserved endi
ng of such an awesome game.
...Don't forget to save your Clear Data after the "Fin" screen, it will
allow you to carry all you worked so hard to get.
See you in a year (or less, keep them fingers crossed and pray to Aidios and
XSEED) when Trails in the Sky The 3rd comes out in English!
Now, as Tita would say: Mwahahaha! We Did It! (Maniacal Laugh! yeah!
Seriously, coming from a techno-wizz kid with a bazooka...makes me worry).

On Chapter 8, during the last story quest The Danger in the Capital [CH8S2],
go to the Grancel Bracer Guild's 3rd floor. There you'll find Mr. Baral, who
owns Baral Coffee House in West Block. He will trade all 14 Gambler Jack
Volumes for ONE Zemurian Ore. If you loaded a Clear Data from FC he will
also remind Estelle and Joshua that he had previously traded books for
weapons with you (FC's Final Weapons for our bracer couple).
Keep the Zemurian Ore (you CAN sell it, but who in their right mind would do so?
!). When you reach Area 2 Cradle's Screen 1 in the Final Dungeon, go to the Bar
(biggest damn building in the screen were you emerge from Tunnel 1). Check the c
omputer to the left of the counter to obtain the Data Crystal Z. Take it to Dr.
Russell to make 1 (yes just O.N.E.) Final Weapon from out of 9 different types.
And remember that Pistol, Greatsword and Rapier are Shared between certain chara
cters, so if you want EVERYONE with one of these babies you must get...12 Zemuri
an Ores (you gotta be a regular bowl of nuts, as Agate puts it...or a True Compl
etitionist).

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Q. Are there any cheats and/or exploits in this monster of a game?
A. But of course!! These are the ones I've been able to COMPILE. Except for
the El-Cheapo Tactic/Method coveres in the general strategies section (which
is rather obvious IMO), the others are the product of some Pro-gaming Colmillo
(skill, know-how, etc.) from THESE fellow gamers:
And now, some strategies from the pros at the Trails SC Board.
PLEASE, if you want tho enjoy the game as it deserves, DO NOT use these
strategies. Pretty much, they are meant for a No NG+ Nightmare run
(H.O.L.Y. S.*.*.*.!). Challenge Anyone? ;)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Announcement<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
My congratulations to <asdf11784> for completing the game on a No
NG+ Nightmare run.
Anyone else for the challenge?

Easy sepith trick - CREDIT TO nonexistinghero from the Trails SC Board.
+ This obvious feature of the Aerial Wind Art is something I overlooked
the first time I played this game. Not surprised, since this is one
game that has a way of sapping your attention if you are not following
a guide whenever you play it.
nonexistinghero is a humble gamer who condensed from random comments on
the Steamcommunity board from Trails FC this neat little trick that will
make your quartz and mira issues less stressing.
Here it is, verbatim:
"Well, this game's pretty stingy in giving sepith. Even compared to the
1st game (IMO), but there's an easy way to earn it. I'm playing the Steam
version, but I imagine it's the same for the PSP version. Anyway, you'll
probably never be hurting for sepith again. It's easy and you can do it as
soon as you get Aerial (if you can get it in the prologue, then that means
you can probably do this trick in the prologue).
- Get Aerial. Preferably on all characters.
- Find an enemy that gives at least 1 water sepith. Yes, 1 is enough,
though more is preferred
- Enter a battle with that enemy (go for preemptive, obviously)
- Check to see if there's any bonus sepith on the turn bar. If there
isn't, run from battle and keep doing so until it's there.
- Try to time your Aerial cast so that it will be cast on the turn
that you get bonus sepith. All enemies you hit with this will drop bonus
sepith for every single hit (so that's 10 hits per enemy). I think you
get even more if you kill the enemies with it during this same turn as well.
You'll gain a ton of sepith this way. Even in a battle with a few enemies
that drop 1 water sepith, you can get over 50+ of that type of sepith
(and just as many of whatever other types of sepith they drop). And if
there's a single enemy you'll still easily get 20+. I think 70 sepith of
a type is the max you can get in a battle though."
Thanks nonexistinghero for your skill in analisys and information
condensing.
The Money Trick - CREDIT TO Aerodynamisch, here is the video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbiYZuS0M38
+Apparently it is a pretty well known trick up to this point, and the only
reason I didn't ever consider looking for a money-making scam...er, trick
is because I always kill everything that moves whenever I enter an area
for the first time/I'm trying to close level gaps between characters...and
that always nets me enough Sepith to fund my army and then some. Also,
except for a few areas where you HAVE to take some specific character with
you for story purposes (and even that *may* be optional, pending
confirmation), you won't need to hoard both Sepith and Mira. Mostly, you
only need 4 of each kind of the Quartz more adecuate for your play-style.
The same goes for equipment, so I mostly never sweat for mira/sepith issues.
+Still, if you must (and BELIEVE ME: in a No NG+ Nightmare you WILL need them)
there is one neat little trick that can be done to acrue some serious douigh
for funding your troops ese.
This is what you need:
-Turnin' Tempura recipe (Red Pepper, Olive Oil, Kibbled Salt, Ironbone Fish, Mil
led Flour)
You get it at Gurune Gate mess hall (bought, Chapters 3 and 4).
-10,000 mira starting investment capital
Get them from Quests or exchange some of the least-used Sepith at the moment (ma
ybe Mirage or Earth).
-1/2 General Stores that sell ALL ingredients.
The method:
E.a.s.y. Just make 99 Turnin' Tempuras and sell them. You recover
your investment, plus some profit margin (basic economics).
Repeat until fed up or you get enough to buy what you want/need.
The mechanics for this trick follow the same steps/requirements that those
of a similar trick for FC, only use a different recipe, and I'm told
(have to confirm) that the profit margin is less than the one you got
back in FC.
UPDATE: If you completed Chapter 5's optional quest [The Rarest Flavor]
with Max BP (as in you enlisted Orvid's help), our greatful gourmet
ingredient merchant will provide you with Monster Ingredients as well as
the ENTIRE STOCK of the regular, store-bought fare.
With his little store available, you can make ALL recipes...and perhaps
find a better mira-making recipe that gives better returns than the
Turnin' Tempura.
--------------------------!!!IMPORTANT!!!-------------------------I myself hadn't had the chance to experiment with this, since I'm
missing the recipes of the later Chapters which I haven't yet played.
If anyone knows of a recipe that gives better returns than the
Turnin' Tempura, please, Please share it!
If you do this is what you get:
I will make an In-Dept Faq just for this trick and Credit the Best
Strategy, as in It Will Be CO-AUTHORED, by both me and the one who
finds the answer to this trick.
It could be YOU...
--------------------------!!!IMPORTANT!!!-------------------------The Sepith Farm trick.
This is something you may overlook on a 1st playthrough, but on Chapter 8,
you have access to the whole of Liberl you'll have the chance to visit the
ONLY STORE THAT SELLS SEPITHS...
...yes, you read correctly: there is a store that sells sepiths.
Where is this unique place? Just visit Grancel city anytime before completing
the ZFG deliveries, go to the West Block, walk into the alley behind Baral
Coffee House and enter the house that was previously locked. You'll find
and old face (whose identity will not be revealed to protect the parties
involved) who is engaged in the dubious activity of selling (deep breath)
S.E.P.I.T.H.S. They are sadistically expensive, so now you know WHY an easy-mira
scam is necessary.
With the above trick in hand, some time at Edel Dept Store grinding for mira, yo
u can amass some copious amounts of sepiths you can burn at the final dungeon's
Orbal Factories.
