To navigate much easier through this guide, I added the search system, which
works just by following these simple steps:
- Highlight the "Section Code" of the section which you wish to go and copy it
(CTRL+C).
- Press CTRL+F to bring up the search sub-menu.
- Paste (CTRL+V) the "Section Code" and press ENTER twice to be where you
wanted to be. Just like magic!
My Section Codes were made as precise as possible, and I also prefer this
method instead of having you scroll 30 min through this huge guide looking for
the section you want to go.

Yo, what's up y'all?! Well, this is my Tales of the Abyss FAQ and it was
starred by the recommendation of you guys. This means a lot to me. This guide
was written because of the love I have for the characters, the story, the
gameplay, well, the game itself. It's a masterpiece of the PS2, one of the best
games ever and well, it needed a new layout, since this one is kinda old and
boring and, well, 2 other awesome writers are doing the same thing (DBM11085 &
Zylicide).
I also made it into the Prolific List, being one of the Top 50 in
Contributions KB-wise. Yep, over 8,000 KB and counting. You might be wondering
why I haven't updated the guide and finished the things that need to be done.
Well, the truth is, my PS2 still doesn't work. I've been saving money to buy a
new one but stuff happens in my life and I need to use the money, but I DO plan
on finishing the sections that need to be done.
Alrighty, I'll stop writing the Intro here and let you guys read on the guide.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I wrote it some years back. Cheers.
- I'm writing this for free and because I like this game (just like I mentioned
above). If you are looking for tons of eloquent ways for me to say "move here,
grab x item and go N to the next area", you are going to be so disappointed.
This guide is way, way too big to begin with, and lofty language does not help.
- If you take a quick scan thru my guide, you won't find the explanations for
battle basics, main menu, saving-loading, etc. Why, you ask? Well, because the
game manual and in-game tutorials do a perfect job explaining the battle
system.
- The usage of abbreviations. When you're in my place or any who writes for
GameFAQ's or any other page, writing a guide for any game of such proportions,
people complain about using too many abbreviations. You have no idea how
helpful abbreviations are. It also looks better in every aspect you think.
- My guide is not the only one out there. I'm not forcing you to use mine, but
if you use others, then you better be prepared for lots of spoilers, which will
ruin the element of surprise for you, as well as to get you lost in the
walkthrough (like what happened to me when I tried to use some of the FAQ's in
the site). Also, people that have problems with how I write my guide are from
slim to none.
- The spoilers are great issues in making guides. I am a player of the game,
just like you are. The first time I played through this game was completely
by myself. I didn't read any spoilers, therefore nothing was spoiled for me.
All the story's ups and downs that were supposed to surprise me had such
effect. And I really think it's not fair spoiling such story elements to you.
Even if I want to spoil it to you, I'll bite my fingers so you can get the most
spoiler-free walkthrough here.
With all this said, let's start with the guide! Enjoy this guide and remember
that it is a spoiler-free, so you don't have to worry about important info of
the game being spoiled.

This is a little experiment of mine and I just wanna see how it goes. Well, if
you found this guide to be at least somewhat useful, think about donating some
money. I mean, I'm a student who pays his own school, and it's gastronomy and
it consumes all the money I get at home. I'm not asking for 10-20 bucks.
Whatever your heart wants to give is fine, be it 1 buck, 50 cents.
Whatever the amount you can donate, I'd truly, TRULY appreciate it and your
help would be greatly appreciated. Well, you can only donate through PayPal at
the moment, which the account is: vinheim@gmail.com

Instead of buying the official guides which cost around 20 dls., better donate
half or a quarter or whatever amount to yours truly.

~-~ ~-~ ~-~ 2.1] Story ~-~ ~-~ ~-~
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-.sx201.-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
'-----'
Fonons - essential components of all matter on the planet Auldrant. Ages ago,
a new type of fonon was discovered--the Seventh Fonon. Its discovery threw
humanity into chaos, for if one could use Seventh Fonon, one could learn the
future. Wars over the Seventh Fonon raged across the lands, ending only when
the miasma - a poison from within the planet - covered the entire world. This
is when Yulia appeared.
A fonist skilled in prophecy, Yulia saw thousands of years into the future and
foresaw a way to seal away the miasma. With the guidance of her prophecies,
humanity sealed the miasma deep within the planet.
The world is ruled by Yulia's prophecy, known as the score. People believed in
the coming "unprecedented prosperity" promised in the Score, never straying
from the path set forth in the Score which will lead them to that prosperity.
they look to the Score as revealed by the Order of Lorelei, the religion Yulia
founded, and hold that the greatest virtue is to follow the Score faithfully.

certain incident leads to her joining with Luke on his adventure.

Author notes:
This is how it works:
- Enemies: I'll be displaying the enemies that you will be encountering in that
area. Note that when I write "(B)" next to an Enemy's name, it means that that
Enemy is a Boss, "(SB)" means Sub-Boss and "(OB)" stands for Optional Boss.
Those that have an (R) next to them, mean that are Rare. These are very hard to
come by. Most of the times they only are a variation of an enemy that's already
there.
- Item Checklist: The Items that you'll be picking up from the various treasure
chests, items that are a MUST for the game to proceed or hidden among the area
will be displayed here. Note that I won't be putting the items sold from
stores, nor the items random enemies' drop, so please just remember that. Also
notice that next to the items you've obtained, it's the quantity of that item
throughout the whole area.

Well, please insert your Tales of the Abyss in your PlayStation 2 and turn the
power ON. You'll be enjoying 90+ hours this game, so your purchase is worth it,
but even if it only lasted 40+ hours, the story and characters are, to put it
simple, beautiful.
After watching the beautiful intro to this beautiful game, you'll have three
options at the Title Menu, which are: New Game, Continue and Configuration.
Choose New Game and let the magic begin.
After the animated opening and the beautiful narration (which you may not
understand 90%+ of what is said), the game starts with a scene with our main
hero.

"What's a Fon Master Ion?" -- Luke fon Fabre
After the initial scene, you'll be in control of Luke in his bedroom (you'll
be in control of him 95% or so of the game). Try exiting and Luke has a mini
headache. Whatever. Once outside at the courtyard, talk to Pere right next to
the stairs and he'll let you know about Luke's condition (about not being able
to leave the manor). Anyway, go to the E side of the courtyard and enter the
door there.
You now need to go to the Drawing Room. To get there, go to the courtyard and
instead of going in the E door, go in the W one and in the hall, go S and enter
the Drawing Room to trigger yet another scene in which you're introduced to
Van, Luke's teacher. After the scene, return to the hall (enter the NW door)
and go all the way N and enter Duke and Madam Fabre's Chamber.
In here, check the cabinet to the E and get '100 Gald'. Return now to the
courtyard to trigger another scene in which you see somebody attacking the
manor. Anyway, follow the instructions in battle and the scene continues.
you'll be transported automatically to a valley called Tataroo Valley.

"It's about time. I'm sick of this place." -- Luke fon Fabre
The scene from Baticul continues here and at the end, Tear joins the party.
When you regain control, just walk S a bit to trigger yet another scene in
which you'll be attacked by monsters. Finish them off and proceed, save your
game and continue until you get to the river. From the fork here, go SW and at
the next fork, go NW and get 'Apple Gel'. Now go SW from the previous fork to
get 'Orange Gel'. Return to the riverside and proceed S to reach another area.
Afterwards, save the game and get '400 Gald' from the chest on top of the Save
Point. Anyway, when you're ready, talk to the Coachman and depart. After the
scene and Luke's funny faces, and when you're asked to whether walk to Engeve
and have the Coachman take you there, pick to walk there so that we can gain
some more XP.
_____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____
At the World Map, simply follow the path E and when you come to a fork, go E
across a bridge to trigger a scene in which you receive your first recipe, the
"Rice Ball". Keep following the path E and when you come to another fork (with
a sign), follow the path NE to reach Engeve. Enter it.

"Are you calling me a thief?" -- Luke fon Fabre
Exit the house and go S, then E and when you reach a Save Point, then enter
the house with pigs right next to it. Inside, talk to the old lady to your
right. She'll give you some miso, so return to the cooking woman and give her
the miso. As thanks, she'll give you the recipe "Spaghetti", 'Engeve Noodles'
and 'Milk'.
Exit this house, go to where the Save Point is and go E across the bridge to
get to the first area. Here, approach the multitude outside the Inn to trigger
a scene (Tear is mean to Luke, isn't she?) in which you're introduced to
Colonel Jade Curtiss and Fon Master Ion (remember Luke's phrase at Baticul
What's a Fon Master Ion? Well, he IS that Ion).
When you regain control, return to the Inn (where the people start accusing
Luke). There's another scene in here. Afterwards, talk to the guy in blue and
buy any upgrade you need. For Luke buy: 1 Cutlass, 1 Leather Mail and 1
Bracelet. For Tear buy: 1 Wand and 1 Iron Guard. Sell all old equipment. Talk
to Kelly, the Inn's owner and spend the night.
Afterwards, you need to go to the Cheagle Woods, so exit the Inn, and talk to
the person Luke was going to steal an apple from. He'll ask you a favor that
you need to do at the Cheagle Woods. Ok, from this fork, go N and enter the
house at the end. In here, get 'Life Bottle'. Now exit Engeve.
_____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____
At the World Map, go directly N to find rings of light coming out of the
ground. These places are known as Search Points (SP), which give random items
to you. From here, go directly W, up a small hill and at the top, look directly
N to see a huge tree. Go there, that's Cheagle Woods.

"Oh, shut up! It's fine for this little freak!" -- Luke fon Fabre
As you enter, a scene triggers in which Ion is being attacked by some monsters
and he ends up killing them in such an awesome way. During the scene, Tear
receives the title "Van's Sister". Ok now, you start at a fork. Go N and open
the chest (actually a rock box, but who cares) to find that person's 'Secret
Box'.
Return to the fork and go E this time, cross the river just to reach another
fork. Go S and then S again and follow that path to get 'Apple Gel'. Return to
the fork just across the river and go N this time to reach yet another fork,
which you should take N to reach another area. There's a scene as you enter.
Follow the path to reach another fork. Go W to reach another area and a scene
triggers.
Now go up the path and instead of going W and inside the Cheagle's Nesting
Area, go E, follow the path behind the tree to get to the first area. Follow
the path and when you get to a fork, go E to get 'Orange Gel' and then W to get
'500 Gald'. Return to the fork in the previous screen and go W this time. Now
check the apples on the floor to trigger a scene with a lot of Cheagles. You'll
obtain the 'Sorcerer's Ring' at the end of the scene.
<vin> Christopher Alarcon wrote: inside of the tree where you meet the
Cheagle Elder, if you stay to the right of the tree when you enter,
there's a ramp that takes you to a fork with exits to the east and
west. The east exit leads to a treasure chest with 200 Gald .
... talk to the Cheagle Elder and rest. Now save your game and exit the tree.
Another scene triggers outside. Now, return to the first area (where the river
is) and from the first fork you come across, go E then E at the next fork to
get
to another area. Once here, burn up all the ivy blocking your path and get 'S
Flag' (you can change the displayed party member with this). Now is a good time
to return to Engeve to give that man his Secret Box to receive 'Collector's
Book'.
Return to the first area of Cheagle Woods and go all the way N to reach the
second area. From the first fork, go E to trigger a scene. Burn up the ivy
surrounding the tree to have the scene continue. Afterwards, cross the fallen
tree and follow the path to the next area.
A scene triggers as soon as you start walking and you'll receive your first
Capacity Core, and from here on, (CC). Anyway, continue to get to a fork, which
you should follow N, burning the ivy from the tree to make a bridge. Cross it
to reach another fork. Go W and get 'Magic Lens', then go N and enter the
cavern.
In here, follow the path and before turning left to go down, check for a chest
stuck in between tree roots. Use Mieu Fire to burn the roots, keep going down
and at the fork go W to get 'Orange Gel'. Now keep following the path and
you'll be shown a green Save Point, which heals completely you HP and TP. Save
your game and proceed N getting 'Life Bottle' in the way to trigger a scene and
then your very first Boss Battle.
-----------------
BOSS: LIGER QUEEN
-----------------
- Strategy: There really isn't much to say about this battle. She may have a
lot of HP, but you don't need to damage her that much. Just attack her normally
(3 attacks + Fang Blade) and you'll be dealing 190+ dmg. plus Tear's Nightmare
will deal some more dmg. After every combo, start Free Running around, avoiding
her attacks, then attacking again. After taking 25-50% of its HP, the amazingly
strong Jade Curtiss shows in the battlefield to kick the Queen's ass. He has
Blessed Drops, which rocks and might kill her with just one of those.
-----------------
After the battle, there's a scene introducing the little girl you met at the
Inn in Engeve, Anise. Just to let you know, Jade is the clown in the group and
you'll be laughing your ass off almost every time he opens his mouth. Have you
noticed Luke being a son of a b**** with Mieu? Well, get used to it, because
he's gonna treat Mieu like this the whole chapter >3. Also Jade joins the
party, but just for a short while.
From where you regain control, get 'Life Bottle' and 'Cutlass' from the
chests. Now, try leaving and Luke finds 'Technical Ring', very neat. Now use
the Save Point and go to the Cheagle's Nesting Area. A scene triggers as you
enter, and the Cheagle Elder "gives you" Mieu for 1 year (1 cycle of seasons is
1 year, right?). After the scene, try leaving the forest to have Jade capture
you and be his prisoners, god dammit!

"I... I stabbed him... I... killed him..." -- Luke fon Fabre
After the scene (is Anise really falling in love with Luke? Or his money?),
save your game. Speak to Anise and she'll join your party. Now exit this room,
go N, enter the second door to your left and get 'Apple Gel'. Now exit this
room and go N and up the stairs. Once outside, talk to Ion and Jade. Now return
to the room where Luke and Tear were held captive and talk to the soldier there
to trigger a scene.
After the scene, speak to Ion twice and then ex it the room. At the hall, speak
to Jade just N of you to trigger yet another scene. Was Jade a Necromancer?
Cool... ahm, anyway, you're introduced to 1 of the Six God-Generals; Largo, the
Black Lion (he's one of the 7 main enemies). Jade also receives the title
"Necromancer". Pretty nice scene, by the way.
When you regain control, go up the stairs and then up the next set of stairs.
Up here, go to the other side to trigger a scene in which Luke is left behind.
Now you have to kill an Oracle Knight. Piece of cake. Just attack him 3 times
to have the scene continue. You'll be introduced to 3 other members of the Six
God- Generals, Asch the Bloody (the red-haired guy), Legretta the Quick (the
blonde chick) and Arietta the Wild (the pink-haired girl).
When you regain control, go S all the way to the end to find 2 doors. Go in
the left one and you'll see 3 chests behind some crates. Move the crates (it's
fairly easy and you shouldn't need any help) to get 'Styl', '1,200 Gald' and
'Life Bottle'. Now exit this room and enter the middle right one. Open the
chest in here to get your equipment back. Now equip Luke that Capacity Core,
Styl, we found a while ago.
Return to the hall and enter the lower right door to trigger a scene. Now move
the 2 middle boxes N, then move the SE one N to trigger a scene. Now, before
leaving, get 'Long Sword' from the chest, then exit the room. Once outside, go
up the ladders to reach the Tartarus' Deck. From here, go to the E (where the
huge ladder is) and enter the door to trigger yet another scene. Remember Guy
at Baticul? Luke's friend? Well, he's here to the rescue (isn't he cool?). We
now need to head to St. Binah.
=~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~=
You'll be at the World Map when you regain control, so, to get to St. Binah,
remember this fork? The one we took to get to Engeve? You'll be left at that
fork. So just follow the road SE to trigger a hilarious scene in which you're
shown Guy's phobia, women. You'll have to fight Oracle Knights (3 total), then
the scene continues. Luke receives the title "Frightful One".
You'll be at a Camping Spot afterwards. Here, speak to everyone, but let Tear
for last. Now speak to Mieu and go to sleep. The scene continues and you'll
regain control. Now just go SE and enter St. Binah.

"Hmm? She's already got you whipped, huh, Luke?
Princess Natalia's going to be jealous." -- Guy Cecil
A scene triggers as soon as you enter. Once you enter St. Binah, talk to the
man near the stores to buy some equipment. Buy a Rapier for both Luke and Guy,
a Mace for Tear and a Glaive for Jade. Also buy any Armor you can afford. Now
talk to the little kid at the E side just to know a little more about Jade. Now
go E and on to the next area of town.
Follow the brick road and enter the first house to your left. In here, check
the green notebook on the floor to get the recipe "Sandwich". Now return to
where you spoke to the little kid and try entering the building just N of him
(with 2 guards outside). A scene triggers in here and your next destination is
Kaitzur. You'll also obtain 'World Map'.
With all this done, exit this building and try leaving town to trigger a scene
with the God-Generals, introducing this time Sync the Tempest (green-haired
dude) and Dist the Reaper or "the Rose" (the most "manly" of all six).
Afterwards, head to the Inn and spend the night there. Before anything, spend
the night again to trigger a scene between Luke and Guy, in which you learn
"Sonic Thrust". Now just exit St. Binah.
=~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~=
We have to cross Fubras River in order to get to Kaitzur. So, to get there,
simply follow the road S and when you see that it starts curving SE, ignore the
path and start going SW to reach Fubras River (it's in-between 2 mountain
ranges and the entrance looks like a lot of stone pillars sticking out of the
ground).

"H-hey, don't treat me like an idiot." -- Luke fon Fabre
At the entrance, go W and use Mieu Fire on the vines covering the chest to get
'Apple Gel'. Now go S to trigger a scene in which you're thought how to use
Field of Fonons (FoF). See my special section to know more about that. Pretty
cool, huh?! Thought so. Anyway, from where you're left, go E and burn the vines
covering the chest to get 'Magic Lens'. Now go S and get '500 Gald' from the
chest you come across. Now proceed W a little bit, then go S to get to another
area.
From the entrance, move S to reach a fork. Take the W path to get 'Apple Gel'
from the chest. Now go down the E path to reach a large grassy area with a save
point. Save your game and proceed N from the save point and then to another
area to get 'Iron Mail' from the W chest. Return to the save point and follow
the SE rocky path all the way to the E to find a chest with '800 Gald'.
There are 2 exits out of this area, the SE one and the SW one. Exit through
the SW one just to find a chest with 'Bracelet' in it. Return to the save
point, save your game and exit through the SE exit. Walk a little bit S to
trigger a scene with Arietta ambushing you. We just killed her mommy, the Liger
Queen. Yep, that's right, the Liger Queen. And now she wants revenge. Tear also
learns the Fonic Hymn "Force Field".
Now from here, go E and burn the vines covering the chest to get 'Orange Gel'.
Now just hug to the wall S of the chest to get to another chest covered with
vines. Open it to get 'Life Bottle'. Now go N, following the path, getting
'1,600 Gald' in the way and at the end, exit Fubras River.
=~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~=
At the World Map, go directly SW. A scene triggers before reaching Kaitzur.
Afterwards, enter Kaitzur.

of the scene, Anise joins the party. When ready, go to the Inn and talk to Van.

cross the border.
Exit now the Inn and go S to use the Passports. At the other side of the
border (Kimlasca area), a scene triggers. Afterwards, go E and enter the Inn.

"My, my. There they go. Impetuous little things, aren't they?" -- Jade Curtiss
After the initial scene, approach the entrance, but before entering, go E and
follow the path until you get to a chest with 'Sage' in it, now enter the
castle. Walk a little bit to trigger a scene that teaches you about surprise
encounters (when enemies touch you from behind and the shattered screen turn
red instead of white), that's pretty f***ed up, don't you think?
Afterwards, you'll see a puppet-like enemy with a glowing red orb cross in
front of you. We'll get to him later. Now go up the stairs to the E (if you go
in the door next to the save point, you'll only find a door with a purple-
colored orb, but we'll get to that) and go all the way S to exit this room.
Outside, keep following the path until you see two statues. Move them so that
the monster with the red orb doesn't run away (yes, one next to another).
Now enter the left door and come back out to have the ghost trapped. Dispose
of it to obtain a red orb. Now return to the room to the left and go down the
stairs to get 'Life Bottle'. Now go up 1 set of stairs (where the door you used
to come in is) and go S. Ignore at all cost the monster with the yellow orb,
and if you come in battle with it, escape. YES! Escape, why? Because I say so.
In this tiny room, check the NE corner (behind the crates) to find 'Life
Bottle'. Now go S out of this room to find a lone chest with 'Apple Gel' in it.
Return to the room with the stairs and go up 1 set of stairs, use Mieu Fire on
the monster with the blue orb to freeze it. Now engage him and obtain a blue
orb.
Now go up another set of stairs and enter the E door to get '1,000 Gald'
from the chest. Return to the previous room and go up another set of stairs to
find a W door. Enter it to get 'Chain Mail'. Equip it to the character with the
lowest P. DEF (probably Guy). Return to the stairs room and finally go to the
top.
Once outside, enter the room a little further ahead and get 'Silk Robe' and
once again, ignore the monster with the green orb. Finally return to the save
point and enter the door I mentioned previously (where the door with the purple
orb is). Examine the door to have the red and blue orbs you got turn purple
ending with the door open.
On the other room, go down the stairs and approach the machine to the N to
trigger a scene. OMG, what the f*** happened to Guy? You must continue to find
out. Exit this room through the E exit (there's nothing down the stairs) and
enter another tower, just like the previous one we were in. Go up the stairs to
find a healing save point. Save your game, go up the stairs and enter a door to
the W when have a chance. Now get 'Shakujo' and equip it to Tear. Return to the
tower, go up 1 set of stairs and enter the E door to get '1,600 Gald'.
Return to the tower and approach the stairs going up to trigger a scene. Luke
has been captured by the God-Generals. Damn them. They indeed did something to
Luke. By the way, isn't Guy awesome? You'll obtain 'Fonic Disc' at the end. Now
return to the roof, saving before coming, to trigger a scene and then a Boss
Battle with Arietta.

until her Overlimit wears off. She has spells like Limited and Negative Gale.
If these leave a FoF, use them, you can use Water FoF and Earth FoF when you
see a Darkness FoF; just like Fire FoF and Wind FoF with a Light FoF. Once
she's down, I really recommend taking Liger out, since he's the fastest of the
group and has an attack similar to Lightning Tiger Blade. Once Liger is down,
take down that bird (what a strange name).It may be a tough battle, but I did
just fine with a party of Luke 12, Tear 12, Jade 12 and Guy 12.
You'll receive 760 XP, 1,300 Gald and, Savory and Apple Gel.
-----------------------------
Watch the scene after the battle and choose the walk back. Return now to the
main hall to see a sword in middle of the room. Save your game and enter a
battle with Sword Dancer #1, although he's optional.
------------------------------
OPTIONAL BOSS: SWORD DANCER #1
------------------------------
- Strategy: Ok now, a lot of people say that Sword Dancer #1 is hard, and they
may be right. Each of his attacks will deal 150-230 dmg. but can easily be
healed with an Apple Gel. Also turn off Jade's Strike Artes and only leave him
with Splash. Approach him as much as you can and guard until you see an
opportunity to attack. Your attacks, along with Guy's and Jade's magic will
take him down in no time. Also use all the Apple Gels and Life Bottles you need
(I only used 3 Apple Gels and 5 Life Bottles). Each of your attacks will deal
150-200 dmg. to him, so he'll go down fairly quickly (my battle lasted 1 minute
and 50 seconds).
------------------------------
If you just can't beat him, leave and I'll tell you when to come again.
Anyway, now leave Choral Castle and head to Kaitzur Naval Port.

"Right now, I'm still a kid, but... I love you, Luke!" -- Anise Tatlin
After the initial scene, enter the Kimlasca Base which is the building to the
far SE. In here, speak to Van to trigger a scene. Now head to the dock (to the
S) and speak to the soldier there. Leave and board the Katsbert Ferry.
I'll put both areas in the same section, because there's no case in separating
them. Once you regain control, try exiting the room to trigger a scene in which
Luke gets a headache (just like the beginning of the game). Once at the
hallway, enter the door above you and speak to Guy just for fun. Return to the
hallway and go up the stairs to the N.
In this little room, check the NE corner for a hidden chest with 'Orange Gel'
in it. Go up the stairs to the W and get 'Iron Bracelet' from the chest. Now
speak to Jade. Return downstairs, enter the N door and speak to Ion and Anise
there. Afterwards, go E and speak with Tear. Now continue along the way and
Luke will get another headache. After the scene, you'll arrive at Chesedonia.

"With my ultra super hyper high-grade fonic technology,
I'll flay that conniving, long-haired, four-eyed--" -- Dist the Reaper
When you gain control (the building to the W is Din's Shop, for more info,
check Hikari62's in-depth FAQ), go S to trigger a scene with Noir, a female
bandit and member of the Dark Wings, York and Urushi are also members. After
the scene, go W and speak to the man by the medicine shop. He's the Coachman
that gave you a ride back at Tataroo Valley. He sold Tear's Jewel, and we want
it back.
After that, go S and go to the next area. There's nothing to do here right
now, so just go S to another area. At the entrance, locate the Armor Merchant
sitting on a white carpet right next to you. The building in front of him is
the Inn. Now go IN-BETWEEN them to find a rare looking fellow known by the name
of "Ant Lion Man". Give him an Apple Gel and he'll give you the "Fried
Chicken" recipe.
Now locate the Weapon Merchant sitting on a red carpet just S of the merchant
sitting on the white carpet. Next to this shop (in a wooden structure) is
another merchant. Speak to him and he'll give you either Food or Items. Select
items (which are better) and he'll give you 2 Apple Gels and 2 Poison Bottles
(he'll give you 3 beef, 3 chicken and 3 rice if you chose Food). Neat. To the E
is an Armor Shop called Bellicoso. Buy any upgrades you need and return to the
area where I told you before that there was nothing to do.
Once here, go W and enter Astor's Mansion. Once inside, a scene triggers
(Astor is kinda creepy...). When you regain control, enter Astor's Mansion
again then head N and in this hallway, enter the W door. Open the first drawer
on the right to get 'Time Traveling Hero' (you can equip these dolls to Anise
to change stats, critical rates, Anise learns new Artes, etc, and also change
how Tokunaga looks). Now exit the mansion and try going to the S area to
trigger a scene where Sync attacks Guy and marks him with something (I can't
tell you what it is, sorry). After the scene, you'll board the ferry.

"Why, if it isn't Dist the Runny." -- Jade Curtiss
After the scene, you'll have to fight 3 oracle Knights. Piece of cake. Now
exit your room and go N and up the stairs. Here, exit through the N exit and
watch a scene with a little robot called Barrelow X. We need to catch it. Read
the instructions and catch it (that was pathetic). If you catch Barrelow X,
you'll get 'Nobile' and 'Winged Boots' (which makes you move faster around
towns and dungeons). If you didn't catch it, reload and try again.
If you want, go save again. Anyway, proceed to the deck to trigger a scene and
then a Boss Battle.
-------------------
BOSS: Kaiser Dist R
-------------------
- Strategy: Although he has 19,000 HP, it goes down in an eye blink. Deactivate
everything on Jade, except for Splash. Put Jade's Splash in a shortcut and make
him cast it over and over. Tear will be healing all the battle, so we don't
have to worry about that. Guy and Luke will physically attack Kaiser. Whenever
you can, use the FoF, especially Water FoF, so that Luke can use Frigid Blast,
dealing massive dmg.
-------------------
After the battle, watch the scene. Afterwards, you'll reach Baticul.

"You're so strange. Look how pathetic you are.
I don't know what the maids see in you." -- Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear
After the initial scene between the party, General Goldberg and General
Cecille, go S and take the aircar to the main city. After the little scene, go
N to trigger another scene with the Dark Wings. When you regain control, go up
the stairs to the N in the middle and take the elevator to the E. Proceed up
the next set of stairs and go up another elevator to reach the castle and
Luke's Manor.
From this third level, go all the way N and enter the castle (Luke's Manor is
to the left). In here, go up the stairs to the N to trigger a scene. Now exit
the castle and go to Luke's Manor (at the W side of this area). After the
scene, enter the W room (Drawing Room) to meet Natalia, the princess of
Kimlasca. So exit through the N door and go N at the hallway to enter the room
of Luke's parents. Another scene triggers in here.
After the scene ends, go to the courtyard and talk to Pere twice. The first
mini scene will involve Jade, while the second time involves Guy. We now need
to look for a guy named Gee near the Zao Desert. Now go to the entrance to
trigger yet another scene between Luke, Guy and Tear. Now approach Ramdas and
the maids to trigger a scene. We also need to get back the 4 books that'll
teach Luke new artes. You also receive '20,000 Gald'. You can buy the book, or
you can just spend it in everything you want.
dito
With that said and done, go to the N part of the docks to trigger a scene. Buy
the remaining text book from the merchant and you'll receive 'Arcana Albertis'
and Luke will learn Demon Fist (same as Senel's from Tales of Legendia),
similar to Demon Fang from previous games. Return to the manor and speak to
Pere, who is at the entrance. This is the first step of three to receive the
Jewel of Gardios (the weapon on the wall), which is a sword for Guy. Now go to
Luke's room and go to sleep.
Exit the castle to trigger another scene. Go to the elevator and go down to
the second level. Try going to the first level to trigger a scene where Anise
rejoins the group. Great, now Ion was abducted by the Dark Wings. Now go to the
first level to trigger a scene. You'll obtain 'Carmine Chamber' and 'Moon
Selector'. Now go and stay at the Inn, which is above the Coliseum and the
Shops. The next morning, you'll receive the recipe "Fried Rice". Nice.
Now on to the Abandoned Factory. The aircar is at the SE part of the first
level. So go there to trigger a scene. A young lady just went in there. Can you
guess who that was?

"Anybody else think I should rip daddy's little girl a new
hole?" -- Anise Tatlin
Go down this ladder and go down the next one as well. Follow the path and at
the fork, there's a 'Feather Cloak' to the E. Return to the ladder, go up and
proceed to the next area.
After another funny scene, go down the ladder in front of you to get 'Orange
Gel' from a chest. Now go up the stairs, press the switch and board the lift.
At the top, there are two ladders, one going up and the other going down. Take
the ladder going up to get 'Scimitar'. Equip it to Luke or Guy if any of them
don't have it equipped. Return and take the ladder going down this time. you'll
reach a 4-way fork. Go S first to get 'Cobalt Chamber' (your very first, but
almost all of these Cobalt suck anyway). Return to the fork and go N this time
to find a ladder. Go up and light the barrel there with Mieu Fire, now press
the switch next to the barrel. Now proceed E to the next area.
There's an aircar next to you and S of the aircar is a ladder in the metallic
platform. Take it down and follow the path to find a chest. Approach it and the
pipe will break, but only halfway and will pour some oil. Anyway, get 'Apple
Gel' from the chest return upstairs and return to the previous room. Use the
lift S of you, walk a little bit and the pipe will break, creating a path. Go
down this path and enter the door to the E. In this next room, walk a little
bit to trigger a little scene which lets you know that you can set fire on
barrels with oil dripping in them. Anyway, lit the barrel and return to the
room with the aircar. Once here, press the switch and board the aircar.
On the other side, you'll find a machine that controls the flow of oil. Use it
so the oil starts going to the left. Use the aircar once more and go down the
ladder to the far E. Lit the barrel and return to where the machine that
controls the oil is. Change now the flow of oil to the right, proceed E and
press the switch. Save your game and you'll see a lift N of you. To the E is a
ladder going down. Take down the ladder to find a chest with '3,000 Gald'.
Return upstairs and enter the next area (to the N).
In here, lit the barrel at the corner and go down the ladder near the entrance
and cross all the way to the W, go up the ladder and get 'Life Bottle' from the
chest. Now go N a bit to find some oil dripping. Try setting it up on fire to
trigger a scene. Now go N, up the ladder and take that empty barrel to where
the oil is dripping. Return to where the lift is, take it upwards and enter the
next area.
Go down the ladder and at this fork, lower the ladder first, then go W to
knock the pipe down and fill the barrel. Now go to where the barrel is, lit it
up and return up the ladder. Now go N at the fork to get 'Panacea Bottle', then
go W, lower the mini ladder and go up the next one to find a healing Save
Point. Save your game, proceed W, press the switch and hop on the aircar to
trigger a scene and afterwards, a Boss Battle!

BOSS: ABADDON

- Gald: 2,000
- Items dropped: Lavender
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: This monster is nasty. Jade is very good here, using Splash all the
battle, because of Abaddon's lower F. DEF. Have Tear or Natalia cure during the
whole while Luke and Guy attack him physically. Abaddon's Negative Gale and
Jade's Splash will create several FoF. Use them well as they deal some extra
and pretty dmg. He also has an attack in which you takes out some little
spiders out of his ass to attack you, but these run in a straight line, and
Free Run is your friend here. There may be a few casualties, but nothing that a
Life Bottle can't handle, eh?
-------------
After the battle, watch the scene exit the abandoned factory to trigger an
animated cutscene. Pretty nice.
=~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~=
Anyway, at the World Map, start going E towards the desert and when you
finally get to it, enter the Desert Oasis, which is in middle of the desert,
and trust me, you will find it, since it has trees and all stuff sticking out
of it.

"You really like to be a jerk, don't you?" -- Luke fon Fabre
After the initial scene, you're told to go to the Zao Ruins, so that's our
next destination. Now talk to the woman dressed in brown next to the well and
pay her 100 Gald to have a little sip from it (it's just like an Inn). Remember
Gee? The guy Pere told you to talk to? Well he's in the Grocery.
Enter the Grocery (the N building, actually it's the only building) and speak
to him. He's the upper-left guy dressed in white and orange. Afterwards, we
need to find someone in Kaitzur. Dammit. You need to go to the Zao Ruins now,
but you could go to Chesedonia, which is to the NW and getting scolded by
Anise, but who cares.
You can buy some Steel Swords for Luke and Guy, a Gothic Mace for Tear and
maybe another one for Anise, a Scythe for Jade and a Steel Bow for Natalia. You
may also stop at Din's place to give her all the stuff you've gotten from
enemies and SP. Anyway, after all this, the Zao Ruins are directly E from the
Desert Oasis. See ya there!

"Mieuuuuuu. I can feel the power!... Well, a little. Kind of. I think." -- Mieu
After the initial mini scene, proceed forward to trigger a scene. After it,
enter the ruins. Inside, start going down the long spiral path towards the
bottom and once you reach it, get 'Apple Gel' from the chest in middle of the
room. Now go S from the chest to get to another area.
At the fork here, follow the path S until you see a cluster of the Second
Fonon (Earth). Mieu learns Mieu Attack. Pretty useful. Return to the fork and
go W this time. At the next area, follow the path and you'll find some boulders
blocking the path. Before going down where the boulders are, go to the path to
the SE to find a chest with '2,400 Gald' in it.
Now break the boulders to trigger a scene. Luke and Natalia are alike, huh? At
the other side of the boulders, break another set of boulders S of you to find
a chest with 'Breast Guard' in it. Equip to Tear or Natalia and now follow the
path E across the bridge and at the open area, break the boulders at the E side
to find a chest with 'Orange Gel' in it. Now save your game and proceed N to
another area.
Follow the path and get 'Panacea Bottle' from the chest. Keep going and some
debris falls in front of a chest. Use Mieu Attack here and get 'Stre Forte'
(pretty nice P. ATK bonus), now keep going until you get to another area.
Follow the path and when you get to a fork, go W to find a chest (it's pretty
hard to notice) with 'Life Bottle' in it.
Return to the fork and go E this time and when you come to another fork (which
is right at the bottom of the stairs), break your way N to find a chest with
'Carmine Chamber' in it. Keep going down the path and when you get to another
fork, to the N behind some debris is 'Cobalt Chamber' in a chest. Now simply
follow the path S until you get to a healing Save Point.
Save your game and proceed further in to see Asch, Sync and Largo doing
something to Ion. After the scene, you'll have to fight Sync and Largo.
----------------
BOSS: SYNC/LARGO

a) Sync

b) Largo
- Location: Zao Ruins
- HP: 17,000 / 25,500 / 34,000 / 59,500
- P.ATK: 265 / 397 / 530 / 927
- P.DEF: 210 / 315 / 420 / 735
- F.ATK: 161 / 241 / 322 / 563
- F.DEF: 100 / 150 / 200 / 350
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Ok, go after Sync first, because he's the quick (and I mean QUICK)
and has the lowest HP. Beware of his Arcane Arte, Stone Dragon Ascent. Before
you even know it, he'll be gone. As for Largo, he is a stronger fellow, and
with his Arcane Arte, Raving Thunder, it deals 500+ dmg. Have Tear heal all the
time, while Jade is casting during the whole battle. Use any FoF that appear on
battle, specially use this because Sync's Artes Thunder Blade and Turbulence
will create several FoF. Luke and Guy will be good distraction for Sync and
Largo, while Jade and Tear are casting.
You'll receive 1,600 XP, 2,400 Gald and, Grass Chamber, Verbana and Garnet.
----------------
Watch the scene at the end of the battle. When you regain control, you should
see some particles coming out of the Save Point. These Save Points are to
return to the entrance of the dungeon, but only using a Wing Bottle. Anyway,
approach it to trigger a scene. You'll obtain 'Wing Bottle' and use the Escape-
route to exit Zao Ruins. Another scene triggers as you exit. Whatever... just
head to Chesedonia.

"Oh, I'm sorry. It's up to Luke to decide, isn't it?" -- Jade Curtiss
After the initial scene, proceed a little bit further to trigger yet another
scene in which Luke has another headache and then he just passes out. Anyway,
when you regain control, remember where the Ant Lion Man was? Go to where he is
and give him a Scimitar and a Magic Lens to receive an 'Orange Gel'. What a
punk! But you need to do it to a future something.
Anyway, restock your item supply and buy any upgrades you need or can afford.
Now, the Malkuth Consulate is the building next to Din's Shop (to the right),
so go there, enter the door in front of you and at the end, speak to the person
there to trigger a scene where Sync is doing something to Guy (I hate that
little bastard). Anyway, you'll board a ferry to Kaitzur Naval Port.

far N. Once here, go to the N area (on the Malkuth side) and speak to the guy
next to the Inn, which is the Artes Council Gee told you to look for. After the
scene, Guy learns "Tempest". Nice. This is step number 3, there's only 4 more.
Now, if you haven't taken care of the Sword Dancer #1, now's your last chance
in doing so.
Remember where he is? He's at Choral Castle. Once the events at Akzeriuth are
done, Sword Dancer #1 is going to be gone forever, so think about it... anyway,
to reach Deo Pass from Kaitzur, simply leave through the S exit (Kimlasca side)
and follow the dirt path until you reach a fork, which you should take SE until
you reach Deo Pass.

"Colonel... You're actually really angry..." -- Anise Tatlin
There's a scene as you enter. After it, hit the tree right next to you (with
Mieu Attack) to drop a chest with 'Apple Gel' in it. Now proceed to find
yourself in a fork. Go W, break the boulder and follow the path to get yet to
another fork. Hit the tree at the fork to trigger a battle with a Treant. Why
did we do this? I don't know... maybe just for fun. Anyway, follow the SE path
and break the boulder at the end using Mieu Attack to reveal a chest with
'1,600 Gald' in it. Return to the fork and go NE to reach another area.
Run up to the next area and at the fork, hit the tree at the N to make a chest
fall down, and contains 'Panacea Bottle'. Now follow the path NW to reach the
first area, on an upper level. Follow the path, past a Treant to find a chest
with 'Gothic Mace' in it. Return to the fork and follow the NE path to reach
another area. Run through this little area and at the next one, follow the path
until you reach a fork, follow the path E and you'll see a tree at the end. Use
Mieu Attack on it to reveal a chest with '1,800 Gald'. Return to the fork and
follow the S path across a bridge until you trigger a scene.
After the scene, save your game and proceed E and when you come to a fork, go
NW and break the boulder there to reveal a chest with 'Cobalt Chamber' in it.
Return to the fork and follow it SW to reach another area. Follow the path to
reach an open area with tons of forking paths. First of all, go SE, hit the
tree to reveal a chest with 'Apple Gel'. Now follow the S path to reach a lone
tree. Hit it to make a chest fly off somewhere. Return to the fork and follow
the path NE to reach another area.
Follow the path, save your game and proceed to reach a fork (I'm getting tired
of these). Follow it W to reach yet another fork, hit the tree to reveal a
chest with 'Apple Gel'. Now go NW at this fork to reach a small area with
'Orange Gel' in the W chest. The tree is a Treant if you want to fight it.
Return to the previous fork and go S now, break the boulder and follow a little
the path and you'll come to a boulder to the N with '1,500 Gald'.

- Strategy: This chick is hard as f***. And I mean it. Watch out for her
combos, which can do 300+ dmg. She also has spells like Eclair de Larmes and
Holy Lance which can do 700+ dmg. A good thing is to have Jade and make him
cast Artes all the battle, since she has less F.DEF than P.DEF. Also, like all
battles, make Tear heal during the whole battle, turning off all of her Artes,
except for Healing Circle and First Aid. Luke and Guy are good distractions,
but not only that, but she's easy to stagger, so go ahead and attack her with
all you've got. Also when she has her Overlimit on, just Free Run through the
whole battlefield until it's gone. Heal yourself if your HP is below 400.
--------------
Watch the scene after the battle and then exit Deo Pass to the right.

Rest here and buy what you need. The tunnel next to the Inn is Tunnel 7, which
has nothing inside. We need to go to Tunnel 14, so take the lift left of the
Inn and down here, enter the tunnel to the right just to trigger a scene and
dammit, Tear leaves the party.

"Wh-why?! Why are you all blaming me?!" -- Luke fon Fabre
Right as you enter, try putting Natalia in the party so you have someone to
cure the party, then go to the right then down to exit the tunnel and get the
chest that contains 'Archery Gloves'. Return inside and proceed further in to
reach a fork, which you should take left for 'Panacea Bottle'. Return to the
fork and proceed. At the next fork, take the forking path N to find a chest
with 'Steel Circlet'. Return to the fork and proceed to the next area.
At the fork in front of you, go N to get to a chest with 'Life Bottle'. Keep
going until you come yet to another fork, which you should take N to find
'Carmine Chamber' and '5,500 Gald'. Return once again to the fork and proceed
and when you're at the bottom, go N to get 'Nocer Forte', which is a Capacity
Core well suited for Jade. Return to the fork and go S this time to reach yet
another fork. Go N for 'Cobalt Chamber', now return to the fork and go S but
instead of going W down here, go E for a chest with 'Halberd'. Now go all the
way W to reach another area.
Walk a little bit here to trigger a scene. After it, save your game and go N
to trigger another scene. When you regain control, talk to Van to trigger yet
another scene. This doesn't look good... once inside the Sephiroth, simply
follow the linear path to the bottom of the Sephiroth and enter the door there.
Another scene triggers on here and when you regain control, simply move forward
to trigger yet another scene. Then an Animated Cutscene... Akzeriuth is
destroyed, and all thanks to Luke. Yep, it's Luke's fault completely.
When you regain control, save your game and speak to you party members and
Tear lastly to trigger a scene. You're now in the Qliphoth and in Fallen
Akzeriuth. OMG... a kid drowns and dies! This must be the cruelest scene in the
game. Poor kid... Anyway, keep watching the scene and you now need to go to a
place called Yulia City, which is to the W. So just point W and some scenes
trigger and watch how everybody verbally kill Luke. But it is his fault,
though. Anyway, keep going W to trigger another mini scene. Then keep going W
until you come to Yulia City. Another scene triggers before arriving.

"What's wrong? You look like you just swallowed a bug...
Oh, wait, you always look like that." -- Jade Curtiss
After the initial scene with Asch, you'll trigger a battle with him.
----------
BOSS: ASCH
----------
- Name: Asch
- Location: Yulia City
- HP: 10,000 / 15,000 / /
- XP: 1,250
- P.ATK: 380 / 570 / /
- P.DEF: 340 / 510 / /
- F.ATK: 250 / 375 / /
- F.DEF: 100 / 150 / /
- Gald: 1,200
- Items dropped: None
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Ok, this battle doesn't have to be won, but if you want, keep
reading (hey, this battle keeps reminding me of the battle with Kratos at the
Tower of Salvation in ToS). I'll make this fast. There's a good strategy to use
here, which is run and hit. Yes, you heard me right. Start Free Running around
and when Asch comes near you, and he'll start attacking you from behind, but
since you keep Free Running, he won't touch you (I hope so). If he uses Havoc
Strike or Raging Blast, return to him and unleash (this is what I used) a 3 hit
combo + Demon Fist + Fang Blade Rage. You'll deal 1,400+ dmg by doing so. Rinse
and repeat. But read this, try at all cost to avoid his attacks, since they'll
be dealing 350+ dmg. each hit. Yes, and he'll attack you 3 times (just like
Luke). Ok, that's how you can defeat him. As a side note, if you're above Lv.
30 and use a Mystic Arte on him, he'll just counter it with his own, Rending
Saber.
----------
After the battle, Luke receives the title "Replica Model". Keep watching the
scene and now you'll be controlling Asch for some time. Neat. Now check the
closet behind Luke to get 'Deck Brush', then go down the stairs and check the
green book on the table to learn the recipe "Ramen". Now exit this house.
Follow the path a little bit to find yourselves in a fork.
You can go S and speak to Guy, but otherwise, go W and speak to the guy at the
end. Give him 3 Apple Gels (this is like the Ant Lion Man event). After doing
this, return to the fork, go N and enter the large building there. In here, go
up the white ramp and speak to Jade up here. Now enter the Conference Room next
to Jade and speak to Teodoro, Tear's Grandfather here.
Tell him that you're ready and a scene triggers, then an Animated Cutscene.
You've come back to the Outer Lands. There's something to do right now. Go to
Baticul and to the shops. Here, buy at least 5 Rices since we'll need them once
we reappear as Luke and give them to the guy you just gave 3 Apple Gels and so
you don't have to come here then returning to Yulia City again.

As you enter, examine the panel to your right (right side of the street) to
activate a Fon Machine and break a box. Go to the chest and open it to get
'Orange Gel'. Now follow the brick road then go up a second set of stairs to be
at a fork. Go S and follow the road E to find a metal platform and some stairs
to get up the platform. Instead of taking the stairs, go under the metal
platform and approach the furnace. A mini scene triggers here and you'll
receive the recipe "Soba Noodles" if you help him. Return to the fork up the
stairs and go W to reach a second area.
Now, Ortion Cave is on the Radessia continent, the brownish one that looks
like a crab (it's the SW most continent). It's at the S most part of the
continent, with a little bit to the W. Enter it.

As you start, go E to an open area to find a chest to the N with 'Ruby Wand'.
Then keep following the path E to reach another area. Now go E some more to
trigger a scene. Proceed further a little bit to spot a chest with 'Life
Bottle' in it. Now continue SE to reach yet another area.
Proceed further in to see another chest, this time it has 'Grass Chamber'.
Continue E and on to another area. In this open area, go S to find a chest with
'Nimble Rapier'. Return to the open area and go E this time to reach again
another scene. Proceed N, save your game and proceed N to another area.
In this room, go W a little bit to trigger a scene. Return to the save point,
save again if you want (there's a Boss Battle coming up) and return all the way
to the entrance (well, to where you got the Life Bottle) to trigger a scene and
a Boss Battle!

BOSS: ANCYLOPOLYP/POLYP

b) Polyp

- HP: 1,000 / 1,500 / 2,000 / 3,500
- XP: 100
- P.ATK: 164 / 246 / 328 / 574
- P.DEF: 350 / 525 / 700 / 1,225
- F.ATK: 283 / 424 / 566 / 990

- Gald: 100
- Items dropped: None
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: This battle is not that hard (compared to the one we just had with
Asch a while ago). He has an attack of bubbles. Each bubble that explodes in
your face leaves a small Water FoF. Use these to your advantage using Raging
Blast and converting it in Frigid Blast. The Polyps are weak and give an extra
XP and Gald. When the calamari goes in its shell, use this time to heal or do
whatever you need to do. Anyway, easy fight. And as you could see, there's
really nothing more to say about this fight...
-----------------------
After the battle, return to the entrance to trigger a scene and be Luke again.

"If my dying could bring back Akzeriuth, then... I'd be scared,
but... I'd die." -- Luke fon Fabre
This now, to me, are the best and favorite scenes of the whole game. The scene
from Ortion Cavern continues and Luke is finally nice to Mieu. At least he
didn't call him "Thing". Well, after one of my favorite scenes in the entire
game, equip Luke with the Nimble Rapier you found at Ortion Cavern and Tear
with the Ruby Wand.
Anyway, go down the stairs and go in the door in this floor. A little scene
triggers and you'll receive 'Character Disc'. You may check characters by
checking the book on the desk. Left of the desk is a chest with 'Scild Forte'.
Now exit Tear's house and go to the W side and speak to the guy you gave as
Asch 3 Apple Gels. He'll ask for 5 Rices. Give them to him and then enter the
main building.
Try entering the Conference Room where you spoke with Teodoro (on the second
floor) to trigger a scene. Layla tells you to stop by her place, so let's go
there. It's the room underneath the Conference Room. Speak to Layla there and
Tear learns "Holy Song". Nice. Now go to the Conference Room.

"Luke said thanks?!" -- Guy Cecil
As you regain control, start by following the E path and get 'Carmine
Chamber'. Proceed W a little more and enter the cave. Proceed further in to
trigger a scene with Guy, who joins the party and receives the title "Friend
for Life". You'll be at a fork now. Go S to find a chest with '6,000 Gald',
then keep going to find yourself in a 4-way fork.
Going NE takes you to the start, same as going SE, so go NW, save your game
then proceed SW and engage battle with the Water Spirit, just to hear the
awesome new Battle Theme. Nice, huh? Anyway, you'll reach another area. A scene
triggers, then continue onwards to have an enemy drop behind you. After the
battle, proceed a little and get 'Silver Mail'.
Now continue your way and enter the next area. Same here, continue through the
path and a scene between Luke and Guy triggers. Now go to the far N, where a
chest is and get 'Panacea Bottle' from it. Continue, burn the roots with Mieu
Fire and enter the next area, which is outdoors.
A scene triggers as you walk a little. After it, just enter the next area.
Burn up the roots and continue to trigger another scene. At the fork, go W,
burn up the roots and follow the path to find 'Nimble Rapier', which you should
equip to Guy. Return to the fork and go S this time to reach the last area of
Aramis Spring, and to trigger a scene. Now Jade rejoins the party, sweet!
Now go E, and use the healing save point. From here, before leaving, go all
the
way W to get 'Yellow Ribbon' from a chest. Return to the save point and go E
this time to get 'Pineapple Gel' from another chest. Now go S from the save
point to exit Aramis Spring.
=~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~=
At the World Map, simply start following the dirt road towards the SE and
enter Hill of the Firth Stela. It's a hill a little before Daath, so just cross
it and enter Daath, which is just a few steps ahead.

"Wait, what? Why's the spoiled brat here?" -- Anise Tatlin
As you enter, go up the stairs to your left and examine the crates there to
receive 'Prelude' (that's 1 out of 7). Now go N from the entrance and you'll
see a chef at your right. Talk to him to have him teach you how to make
"Pizza". Keep going N and you'll find a chest lying there in the open (before
going to the next area) with 'Esprit Forte'. Now go rest at the Inn, which is
at
the E part of this first area. A scene triggers and Tear teaches Luke how to
control hyperresonance. There's also a flashback with Legretta teaching Tear
the same stuff.
Anyway, go to the Weapon shop, which is directly in front of the Inn. There
are some good things to buy here. I had 36,000+ Gald at this point, so there's
no excuse that you don't have money. You should buy a Great Sword for each Luke
and Guy, a Silver Rod for each Tear and Anise, a Partisan for Jade and a Great
Bow for Natalia.
As for Armor, buy a Silver Mail for either Luke or Guy (you should already
have one from Aramis Spring), a Silver Guard for each Tear and Natalia, a Magic
Cloak for Anise, a Silver Robe for Jade, a Silver Bracelet for each Luke, Guy
and Jade, Silver Gloves for each Tear, Anise and Natalia and a pair of Silver
Boots for Luke, Tear, Guy and Natalia (Jade has the Sephira equipped and Anise
has her Doll equipped). I spent, exactly, 33,885 Gald. Yep, all that. And if
you sell everything you don't need, you should get 20,000+ Gald.
Anyway, after all that shopping, go to the N area and try going up the stairs
go trigger a scene. Time to break in the Oracle's HQ. Enter the Cathedral,
which is at the end of the stairs. In here, go up the stairs to the N and enter
the Chapel. Go up the stairs at the end of the Chapel and speak to Tritheim. A
scene triggers here. You receive 'Permit' from Tritheim. Now speak to the man
below the stairs, which happens to be Anise's father. Now exit the Chapel and
enter the SW most door to reach the library. Go N and check the green book on
the table to learn the recipe "Sushi".
To get to the Oracle's HQ now, return to the main hall and enter the SE most
door. In this room with colored circles on the floor, go E and enter the door.
Follow the path until you come to a hall with two doors. Enter the first door,
speak to the guy in blue, show him the Permit and follow the path until you
enter Oracle Headquarters.

"Whoa! Luke said thank you?" -- Anise Tatlin
Watch the scene as you enter. Then follow the path S all the way to the W side
of HQ. There's a scene as you get to this side. You'll see that Anise starts
checking on a gong. Hit it with Mieu Attack and an Oracle Knight will attack
you, leaving the door open. Stupid... now enter the door the Oracle left open
and check the NW part of this room to find 2 chests with '5,500 Gald' and
'Lemon Gel'.
Exit this room and go N to find 2 ways to go, up the stairs, or follow the
path. Go up the stairs and check the chest at the end to get 'Miracle Gel'. Now
use the gong and a soldier will come out of the door below. Return down the
stairs and follow the path you previously ignored, dispose of the Oracle Knight
and enter the door. Check the NE side of the room to find a chest with 'Carmine
Chamber'. Exit the room and go down the stairs just a bit S of your current
position.
At the next area, go all the way to the E side, ignoring the stairs you come
across and going up the stairs there to return to the area above. Now let's
check the room above. Start by going up the lift and beating the crap out of
the Oracle Knight there. Return down the lift and use the gong to have another
Oracle Knight come out and unlock the door. Go up and enter the door. Inside,
grab 'Green Ribbon' and return down the lift. Go W, down the stairs to reach
another area.
Do you notice the golden bars right next to you? Remember them well... go down
the first set of stairs and save your game. Return up the stairs and go all the
way E and hit the gong. Dispose of the enemy and go in the door. In this hall,
there are 7 doors to go in to. The N, the NE, the NW, the E, the W, the SE and
the SW. The NE has nothing, the NW has 'Partisan'. The E has 'Silver Cloak',
the W has 'Balla Forte'. The SE has nothing and the SW has 'Cobalt Chamber'.
The N room has '6,500 Gald' and 'Life Bottle'.
Return to the huge main room. Remember the golden bars I told you to remember?
Go there and stand next to them (on the E side of the bars) and freeze the
Oracle Knight that's walking on the other side of the bars using the Sorcerer's
Ring and Mieu Fire. Time it well. Now go down the stairs to where the save
point is, go up the stairs to the W and dispose of the Oracle Knight while it's
still frozen. Return to where the save point is and use the gong. A soldier
comes out of the room. Same deal, dispose of the soldier and enter the room.
Same deal as before, there are 7 doors, but leave the NW door for last. The E
has 'Melange Gel'. The NE has 'Silver Guard' and 'Syrup Bottle'. Now go in the
N door to find another door. Go in to reach a greenish room. Follow the path,
go down the stairs, but instead of going down a second set of stairs, go W and
get 'Noble Thief' (that's 2 out of 7). Now go down the stairs and follow the
path E until you get to a chest with 'Carmine Chamber'. Return to the hall and
go in the NW door to find Ion and Natalia. Remember the hill we passed before
getting to Daath? We have to go there, and thanks to Namco, we're outside the
Cathedral.
Before anything, at the middle of the stairs are 2 paths to be taken. Go E and
speak to the old guy there. He's another one of Guy's "teachers". He'll tell
you a town near the sea... whatever, we'll be going there shortly, so three
more guys and Guy will learn a new Arcane Arte, which is, by the way, very
nice. Anyway, equip Natalia with the stuff you bought her, if you haven't. Now
exit Daath and go to the hill, the Fourth Stone Monument.
Walk a little bit to trigger a scene. Then leave this hill and go to Daath
Harbor (it should already be marked on the map), which is near Aramis Spring
(you can simply follow the dirt path). Once you arrive, a scene triggers. Now,
Grand Chokmah is at the NW side of the E continent, so start going W and a
scene triggers, where the Tartarus breaks down on us and needs to be repaired.
We now go to Keterburg Bay automatically.

'~._____________|___________________________________________________________,~'
Before even moving, talk to the guy N of you. Agree to help him organize the
warehouse to start a minigame. The crate to your right push it right ONCE.
There's another crate NE of the one you just pushed, so push it right TWICE.
Now push the crate N of the one you just pushed up into the hole. Ok now, from
the one you just pushed into the hole, there's another crate to the NW of it.
Push it right all the way into the hole.
The crate that you pushed right twice (it was the second crate you pushed),
take it to the corner N of its current position then left into the hole. Once
it's in the hole, go left to find another crate. Push it down until it fits in
a hole. The there should be a crate right of you. Push it right ONCE then
return to the first crate you moved. Pull it down ONCE, then to the right
TWICE, then up TWICE.
Go around the maze and push this crate (the one we've been moving around) up
ONCE and then left into the hole. The crate that's left there, push it to the
far left, go around the maze and push it down to fit it in a hole, then grab
the
chests, which are: 'Pineapple Gel', 'Stun Bracelet' and 'Rebirth Doll'. You
also
receive '5,000 Gald' in doing this. I hope you got everything, if you didn't
just e-mail me about it.
Anyway, go in the house to the W and check the green book that's lying on the
bench to receive the useless recipe "Salad". Now exit Keterburg Bay.
=~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~=
Once at the World Map, start going W to find Keterburg, but I recommend
leveling up to at least 30. Why is this? So that everybody learns the AD Skill
Special, which lets you use Mystic Artes during the Overlimit, but beware of
the enemies, and more of the Snow Treant, because it has 31,500 HP, but gives
you 780 XP.

"Papa! Can I please get my allowance? Pretty please?" -- Anise Tatlin
From where you start, go E and enter the Inn. Spend the night here (you may
need it, thanks to all that fighting) and then head to the Weapon Shop, which
is to the W of the entrance. There's almost nothing new but the Silver Plate,
so buy 2 of them. Now go N to reach the casino. Enter it to trigger a scene,
and Anise receives the title "Grown-up Child". You can play in here, but the
prizes aren't really worth the amount of chips. So exit the Casino and go NW to
reach another area.
From here, to the NE is the Hotel, to the NW is a little area with two roofs
and a chest on top and to the N is the N area. Go there and you'll see that in
the middle of the park are you snow throwing machines. Use Mieu Attack on the
right one and a ball with go somewhere else. Return to the little area with the
two roofs and the snowball hit the chest. Open it to get 'Hourglass', then go E
and onto another area.
Talk to the man that's at the E, outside his house. He wants to rebuild his
mansion. Now enter the Hotel, which is at the middle of the city, then use the
elevator to go to the second floor. Go E and enter the door. Talk to the guy
near the entrance to trigger a scene, then you'll have to play the Waitress
minigame. Kinda boring... (yawn). You'll get paid according to the amount of
people you serve. At the end of this event, Tear receives the title "Easygoing
Waitress".
Now exit the Hotel through the W exit (you came in through the E entrance) and
go W to reach another area. At the fork, go W and enter the Governor's
Residence. Once inside, before going in the next room, check the drawer to the
left of the upper door to find 'Alca Forte' (I equipped it to Luke, since I
already had his ENH over 20). Now enter the upper door to trigger a scene with
Nephry, Jade's sister. Nephry wants to talk with Luke alone, later. Now go to
the Hotel to trigger yet another scene. Now go to Nephry's place, speak to
Nephry to trigger another scene, and a very interesting one, by the way...
Now exit Keterburg, level up to Lv. 30 (at least with the characters you
mostly use) and head to Keterburg Bay.
Once here, talk to the man at the pier and depart towards Rotelro Bridge.
=~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~=
Once you're onboard the Tartarus, open your map (pressing R3), zoom in and
look at the bridge connecting the continent where Tataroo Valley is and the E
continent. Have you seen it? If it's broken, it's there.
Once you land, you'll be almost where the Coachman left you at the beginning
of the game. Start heading E and when you get to a fork before a bridge, start
following it N until you see the entrance to Theor Forest. Before going in, do
you feel like taking down Sword Dancer #2? You'll see that there's a SP
directly S of Theor Forest. Examine it to enter battle with Sword Dancer #2!
------------------------------
OPTIONAL BOSS: SWORD DANCER #2
------------------------------
- Strategy: For being the Second Sword Dancer, he's not that hard, although he
doubled all his stats. His attacks will deal 250-320 dmg. He also has his
Overlimit. When goes in Overlimit mode, open the battle menu and press L1 until
the 'On your guard!' Strat appears. This way, you characters will be away from
Sword Dancer while he's in Overlimit. When his Overlimit is over, just return
to your normal Strat. Just like the previous battle with him, deactivate all of
Jade's Artes and leave him with Splash. Also with Tear, deactivate everything
she has, except for Healing Circle and Resurrection. If you're Lv. 32 with
Luke, you should have learned already Guardian Field. When a Water FoF appears,
use Guardian Field to make a Guardian Frost. This will deal tons of dmg. on
Sword Dancer. Also there's your Overlimit. Use your Mystic Artes; Luke's
Radiant Howl (and if you're on your second playthrough, also use Ion) which
will deal 4,500+, Guy's Rising Phoenix dealing near the same dmg. and Radiant
Howl. I only used 3 Life Bottles and 1 Lemon Gel this time.
------------------------------
Now, go to Engeve if you want or need to restock on your basic item supply and
rest (which I totally forgot to do). While you're here, I think you can sell
the Rebirth Doll for 50,000 Gald at any shop (I think). Do so if you want to (I
recommend you do it, since the Rebirth Doll is almost useless and the money is
needed). Now return to Theor Forest.

"Hide and seek, huh? Ion, please don't screw it up." -- Anise Tatlin
As you enter, a scene triggers and Jade leaves the party. Then try entering
the forest to trigger another scene where the Malkuth soldiers were injured by
Oracle Knights. When you regain control, just enter the forest. In here, you
don't have to let the Malkuth soldiers see you, but it's such a pain in the ass
doing it like this.
Instead of "playing hide and seek", let the guard see you 5 times and then you
can just beat the s*** out of them. With that done, go E to reach another area.
In this new area, go all the way E and get '4,800 Gald' from the chest.
Then go N up a little hill to find a save point. From here, go NE and get
'Life Bottle' from the chest next to the tree. Return to the save point and go
W and return to the main area. Go N now to find a chest with 'Magic Lens'.
Return from whence you came and go N to find a Malkuth soldier. He's guarding 2
chests. Open them to get 'Silver Bracelet' and 'Half Guard'. From here, go NE
to reach another area.
In this long area, stick to the right side and start going down to find a
chest with 'Lemon Gel'. Keep going N and before you exit, check the left side
of the area to find '5,500 Gald'. Now exit Theor Forest. There's a SP out here.
Examine it to find 'All-Purpose Knife'. Return to Theor Forest, go S in this
long area to reach the other area. Now go W to reach the main area. Here, go
down the little hill W of you and down here, go E to reach the E area. Check
the E chest to find 'Life Bottle'.
Return to the main area and return to the entrance (all the way S). From here,
go all the way W to reach a mini area with a chest with 'Panacea Bottle'.
Return to the main area and go N up the little hill right next to you and up
here, go N to find a chest on your left side containing 'Silver Sword'. Return
to the little hill to the S and go W on to the W area.
From the entrance of this area, check the 3 trees near you and hide between
them. The Watcher Wolf will approach you and then it'll leave. When it leaves,
shoot Mieu Fire at him to make him run away and enter a cave-like hole. Follow
him and at the top, go E to the next area and grab 'Battle Guard'.
Now return to the entrance of the previous area and go NW to reach another
save point. NW of the save point is a Malkuth soldier, so dispose of him and go
up the little hill behind him to find a chest with 'Sage'. Go down the little
hill and go all the way E to find another chest containing 'Grass Chamber'. Now
go NW from the chest to trigger a scene with Largo and Sync. We're now arrested
and taken to Grand Chokmah.

"It's not your fault that I hated you so much I wanted to kill you."
-- Guy Cecil
After the scene from Theor Forest, go W to reach the port. A scene triggers as
you get here. Then go W and save your game. Now enter the building N of the
save point and go up to the second floor. Go to the bar (W side) and speak to
Jade. He'll join the team. Return to the first floor and speak to the
bartender. He'll give you the recipe for "Curry". Exit the building and go S
from the save point and speak to Natalia. Now go W to reach another area.
Follow the path and get to the next area. Speak to General Frings, who's at the
middle of the area. A scene triggers where you're explained the current
situation.
We are now off to save St. Binah, but we need to go get Guy, Anise and Ion
first. Exit the Palace and go to the Inn. Where is it? It's the E most building
in the shopping area (the first area you where at). Speak to the soldier
outside and he'll tell you that the curse slot has been removed. Watch the
scene and you'll see how Guy explains a lot of interesting things about the Hod
War and how his family was massacred. Also Guy receives the title "Malkuth
Nobleman".
When you're asked to go directly to St. Binah, SAY NO!!! There are some rather
important things to do now. Exit the Inn and go to the second floor of the bar
(where you found Jade). Speak to the guy dressed in cyan to trigger a scene.
He's another Artes Council that help Guy train. There are still two more
teachers. The next is in front of a machine that turns. That's at the first
area of Belkend. Return to the first floor and speak to the guy standing in
front of the door. Time to organize another warehouse.
Start by pulling N the barrel to your left ONCE, then push it N TWICE. There's
another barrel to the NE part of the room. This one pull it S 5 TIMES, 3 TIMES
W, 1 TIME N and 1 TIME W so that it's next to the first barrel you dropped. Now
open the chest that has 'Lollipop' (I'm astonished). The barrel to the NW push
it N all the way into the hole. Now open the chest to get 'Lemon Gel'. The S
most barrel pull it 4 TIMES N, go around the maze and go get the chest that
contains 'Strange Mark'. Just like before, you'll receive '5,000 Gald'.
Now, head to the Shopping Center, since there's some shopping we need to do.
Speak to the W most guy and buy a Silver Sword for either Luke or Guy, a
Bardiche for Jade and a Composite Bow for Natalia; and for armor, buy a Half
guard for either Tear or Natalia (you should already have one), a Misty Robe
for Jade and a Gold Bracelet for each Luke, Jade and Guy.
Now, if you want to go find the remaining teachers of the Guy's Sigmund-style,
keep reading. If you don't, just skip the next paragraph and head to St. Binah.
Exit Grand Chokmah, cross Theor Forest and go to the Tartarus. Now go to
Belkend and speak to the guy to the S who's looking at the central moving
thing. He's the fourth of the Artes Council. The next one is in a small, cold
room. Know where that is? It's in Keterburg. Go there and go to the N most area
(where the igloos are). Enter the left one and speak to the last Artes Council.
After that, Guy learns Soaring Light Spear. Sweet. Now go to Rotelro Bridge and
then go to St. Binah.

Once you've entered, head to the Malkuth Base, then enter the next door to
trigger a scene with the McGoverns. Exit the base to trigger another scene. Oh
no... it's Dist again. Time to take care of his little toy.
--------------------
BOSS: KAISER DIST RX
--------------------
- Strategy: Before anything, deactivate every arte on Jade except for Splash.
He'll be using it quite a bit, so a lot of Water FoF will appear. Use these to
perform Guardian Frosts. One of these should deal 1,300+ dmg. Also use your
Mystic Artes anytime you can, dealing even massive dmg. to Kaiser. Also, his
main attacks are directed in front of him, so, if you can, go to its back and
start combo-ing him from the back. There's really not much to say, he's the
same as in the Ferry, only much stronger, so just use the previous strategy you
used on him and you'll win.
--------------------
Watch the scene as the battle ends. Now we need to find a way to fly, so it's
time to go to Sheridan. Remember the continent where Ortion Cavern is? The one
that looks like a crab? Well, Sheridan is at the E side of that continent and
directly N of Belkend. Well, you need to get to Port Sheridan first.

First of all, push the crate to your right E 1 TIME, then the crate N of that
one push it N into the hole, now grab 'Apple Gel' from the chest. NE of the
chest is another crate. Push it N into the hole. Now go left to find another
crate. PUSH it left ONCE, then PUSH it right ONCE and then S into the hole.
Open the chest to get 'All-Divide'. S of the second chest is another crate (on
the other side of the gap and left at the entrance). Push it ONCE S, PULL it
ONCE to the right and PUSH it THRICE to the right. Now PULL it ONCE N, PUSH it
to the N TWICE and PUSH it E ONCE and into the hole. Now the first crate you
moved (right from the entrance), PULL it left ONCE, PULL it N ONCE, PUSH it N
TWICE, PULL it right ONCE, PUSH it N THRICE, PULL right ONCE and PUSH N into
the hole. Now open the chest to get 'Holy Ring'. As like previous times, you
receive '5,000 Gald'.

"Hmm, yeah, and unlike your fake muscles, I actually have some strength."
-- Guy Cecil
When you enter Sheridan, go up the dirt path to the NW and enter the shop. At
the Armor Shop but a Battlesuit for each Luke and Guy, a Battle Guard for each
Tear and Natalia, a Mystic Cloak for Anise, a Cerulean Robe for Jade, a
Platinum Bracelet for each Luke, Jade and Guy and a pair of Mystic Gloves for
each Tear, Anise and Natalia.
Equip and sell your leftovers. Now, at the Weapon Shop, only buy 1 Wasier
Rapier for Luke, since you'll find another one for Guy in like 30 min. from
now; a Sword Mace for each Tear and Anise and a Heavy Halberd for Jade. Return
down the dirt path, go E, past the large building, go N then up the stairs to
find the Inn. Sleep here to trigger another scene of Luke's training.
When it's finished, enter the left room of this Inn. Check the cabinet at the
NW corner of the room to obtain 'Savory'. Now enter the right room and check
the cage-like thing at the base of the lower bed to find '3,000 Gald'. Exit the
room and enter the Item Shop, which is beneath the Inn. In here, check the
green book on the NE table to learn the recipe "Udon Noodles". Now go to the NW
area of Sheridan (it's the path next to the dirt path that leads to the Shops).
Once here, use Mieu Attack on the W side of the see-saw, that's on the E side
of the area. A chest will be blown away, so go to the stairs that lead to the
Inn, but instead of going up, keep going N to reach the NE area of Sheridan.
Check the W side of this area to find the chest with 'Demon's Seal'. Now go N
and E at the fork. Enter the N house you come across. This is the Music Box
House. Remember the Noble Thief we found at the Oracle's HQ? And Prelude? Well,
these are music discs. Now exit this house and return to the area where the
see-saw is. Go to the N side and approach the 3 old guys to trigger a scene.
Return to the main area and enter the large middle building which is the
Meeting Hall. Talk to Iemon, the old guy with a Mohawk. A scene triggers and
you'll receive 'Launcher'. Now exit Sheridan and head to Meggiora Highlands,
which is, like Iemon said, SW of Sheridan. Just hug the W mountain and follow
it S until you reach it.

"Well, I suppose it's better to have you lose control somewhere I can see you"
-- Jade Curtiss
Okay now, this part is a bit different, because you'll still be on the World
Map, so all the directions will be based on the Compass.
Walk a little bit and a scene triggers. You need to divide in two teams. Take
Luke or Guy, whoever you're playing as (I'm playing as Luke). I recommend
taking Jade and Tear, because there's a "Boss Battle". Also please note that
you have 12 min. to get to Ginji, so let's hurry. Don't enter battles either,
because the timer won't stop; it'll only stop when you access the Main Menu and
Battle Menu.
Start by heading W and at the fork, go W and keep following the path until you
reach an open area with a chest on the W side containing 'Weak Bottle'. Return
to the fork and go E this time to find a chest with 'Wasier Rapier'. Keep
following the path and when you get to another fork, go N and at the next fork,
go E to find another chest with 'Battlesuit'.
Return to the previous fork, go W, up the hill to return to the main path (the
one you just were on). Keep going W up here and at the fork, go S this time and
follow the spiral hill up the hill to trigger a scene and a Boss Battle.
I won't put a strategy for this pussycat, because he's as strong as the Snow
Treant near Keterburg, and I bet you've already killed a lot of them. I'll just
tell you he's weak against Fire, so use Jade's Flame Burst to get out of
trouble and make the battle quick, because the timer is still ticking. You'll
receive the Nebilim and Laurel.
After the scene, you'll be in control of Guy's team. Equip Guy with the Wasier
Rapier you found earlier, then start going N, then W at the fork to find a
chest with 'Mystic Cloak'. Return to the fork and go N just to find another
fork. Take the W one (the lower one) and follow the path to get to a chest with
'6,800 Gald'. Return to the fork and take the upper path now to reach ANOTHER
fork. The N paths are dead ends, so go W to trigger a scene where the party
secures the Albiore, saves Ginji and receives 'Hover Drive'.
You'll be back at the main World Map, so just head NE to reach Sheridan, but
before entering, go and examine the SP N of Sheridan to find Estima Seeds. Now
enter Sheridan.

"I'm the one who destroyed Akzeriuth!
That's why I have to do something now" -- Luke fon Fabre
A scene triggers as you enter. Remember where the see-saw is? At the NW area?
Go there and enter the large building at the W side, but a scene triggers
before entering. Now the Albiore II is operational and you're introduced to the
pilot of your ride, Noelle, Ginji's sister.
He wants now 5 Maces, but we can't give them to him now, since we don't have.
Now go E at the fork and talk to the other merchant dressed in white and
yellow. He has another book for Luke, and wants 40,000 Gald. I had 112,219 Gald
at this point, but I don't want to spend my money, so we'll have to wait until
later (I think you can't pay for it right now, even if you have the money).

"I don't see any problem with that. I like him better this way." -- Guy Cecil
Once you enter, move up to a fork to trigger a little scene. Then go E to find
a chest with 'Lemon Gel'. Return a little bit to see a red stone S of you. Go
up the step-like stones and hit the red stone with Mieu Fire. That's 1 of 3.
Return to the fork near the entrance, go W and at the fork, you'll see another
step-like stones. Go up and shoot at the second red stone. Now go N, get
'Pineapple Gel', go up the little hill and shoot at the last red stone to have
the entrance open at the fork of the entrance. Now go to the fork at the
entrance and enter the Sephiroth to the N.
In here, go N into the next room. Keep going N to trigger a scene. Go to the N
part of the room to find 3 fonic glyphs. Follow the NW one and enter the next
room. You'll see a concentration of the Third Fonon (green). Touch it to obtain
green fonons. You'll see a concentration of the Fifth Fonon (red) to the NE.
Use Mieu Fire to obtain them. There's also a concentration of the Second Fonon
(yellow) at the SW side of the room. Use Mieu Attack to break the glass and
obtain the yellow fonons. Now go NW and go to the next room.
You'll see an enemy with a concentration of the Fourth Fonon (blue) in its
stomach. Defeat it to obtain the blue fonons (from now on, I'll just call them
x-color fonons). Open the chest to find 'Cure Bottle', now go SW and exit this
room. You'll reach a large room, so start going down the stairs until you reach
the bottom. Examine the pentagram (is that what this is called?) and put the
fonons in the following order: red, green and blue. Now a bridge will create S
of you. Cross it to trigger a little scene, then break the floating stone with
Mieu Attack.
You'll be at the main room (thank goodness!). Now the NE path is unblocked, so
go that way and enter the next room. Check the NE side of the room to find a
chest with 'Light Plate'. Now dispose of the enemy with the blue fonons in its
body to obtain them. Now follow the path E to reach another room. Behind the
stairs N of you is a chest with '12,000 Gald'. Now go up the stairs and get the
red fonons to the W (using Mieu Fire) and the yellow fonons to the E (using
Mieu Attack).
Return to the previous room and go N this time and in the next room, get the
green fonons in middle of the room and get 'Dinei Bottle' from the chest to the
NE. Follow the path W to reach another room. Follow the upper path to find a
chest with 'Scild Maggiore'. There are also a yellow fonon if you didn't grab
the one where the red fonon was. Return to the previous room and head E to the
next room.
Follow the path E, go up the stairs and at the top, you'll see 2 reflectors-
like things. Push S the E one until it hits the light. The W reflector push it
S THRICE and E THRICE (this reminded me of the Tower of Mana in Tales of
Symphonia, but much, much shorter). Return to the entrance and follow the W
path until you reach the bottom. Examine the pentagram in the following order:
red, yellow, blue and green. Another bridge will appear, so cross it and break
the floating stone at the end.
You'll be taken to the main room again and the N path unblocks. Nice... we're
about to finish this damn Sephiroth! Save your game if you want and follow the
N path. Open the W chest to find 'Panacea Bottle'. Also get the yellow fonons
in middle of the room as well as the blue fonons inside the Fonic Golem. There
are three ways to go from here (without counting the path you came from). Go N
just to find a Fonic Golem with a blue fonon, but you only need 1 blue, so
ignore it. There's also a red fonon to the N. Grab it with Mieu Fire, check
behind that stone in middle of the room to find a hidden chest with 'Hunting
Cap' and return to the previous room.
Go NW this time and check under the stairs for a green fonon. Follow the upper
path until you get to a red fonon. Grab it and go S to find a chest with
'Carmine Chamber'. Return to the previous room and go NE this time. Open the
chest at the far E on the lower level to find 'Battle Guard'. Now go up the
stairs and then S to find another chest containing 'Specific'. Now go N and
into the door. In this room, go N and on to the next room.
You'll see three set of stairs. Go up the E stairs and a little scene shows
you the thingy in middle of the room. Hit it with Mieu Attack ONCE in
counterclockwise sense. Now go to the top and hit it TWICE in either direction.
Now go to the bottom, go up the middle stairs and put the fonons in the
pentagram in the correct order (from left to right). A last bridge appears, so
cross it and break the stone. You'll be at the main room, so save your game and
go S to trigger a scene. I love Tear's face when Luke hugs her. Also Luke
receives the title "Passage Commander". Now exit Shurrey Hill completely.
=~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~=
Once at the World Map (Qliphoth), ride the Albiore and open your map. You
should notice a black spot NE of Yulia City. Go there (where the sea water is
coming down) and return to the Outer Lands. Move in any direction to trigger an
animated cutscene. Pretty cool and sad... and you're party has to split, Jade
is going to Engeve and Natalia to Kaitzur. I went to Engeve, so let's go there.
Take anyone, since we DON'T want to fight. I brought Tear, just in case.

"Let's leave the Albiore to Noelle, so we can escort those who are

Once you regain control, go to Rose's House to trigger a scene. We now need to
go to Chesedonia on foot. SAVE your game and exit Engeve. Remember where
Rotelro Bridge is? We need to go there first. Please evade ALL battles until
you reach Chesedonia, so we can get some goodies from the villagers. There will
be some scenes during the trip. Just watch them and keep going.
Once you reach Rotelro Bridge, cross it and keep following the dirt path
(ignore Tataroo Forest) until you get to Chesedonia (it's ok to enter battles
now on the Ispanian continent). If you avoided all battles at the Rugnica
continent, you'll receive 'Hourglass', 'Magical Pouch', 'Ether Slash', and
'Life Bottle'. Now it's time to play as Natalia and the others.

"You idiot! Your big mouth just cost us another thousand Gald!"
-- Luke fon Fabre
After the initial scene, the group is finally reunited. Now go S to trigger a
scene and you'll be surprised to what Mohs has to say. Natalia receives the
title "False Princess". Also Anise receives the title "Former Attendant". So
the border is closed now... enter the building to your right and speak to the
man standing in front of the door to trigger a scene. Refuse to pay and you'll
pass anyway. Exit this building and go S to the next area.
Remember where the Ant Lion Man was? Go to him and give him a Miracle Gel,
Panacea Bottle and an Apple this time. He'll give you 'Thief's Cape' (WOW...).
Now go to the S most Weapon Shop and buy the 5 Maces the guy at Yulia City
asked for. That's 32,980 Gald. you can also sell Anise's Doll Time Traveling
Hero, Laurel, Strange Mark and Dark Seal for 25,000 Gald each.
Also the Demon's Seal for 100,000 Gald. I sold them all and got 212,500 Gald.
Now I have 332,560 Gald. Cool. Now try leaving Chesedonia through the S exit
and a little scene triggers. Time to go see Astor. Go to his mansion and enter
the W door, then the lower W door and speak to Astor. A scene triggers and now
Chesedonia is sinking.
Try leaving Chesedonia again and Luke gets another headache. After the scene,
exit Chesedonia.
=~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~=
At the World Map, head to the Desert Oasis. Go to where the huge fonstone is
and speak to Asch to trigger a scene. After it, just head to Zao Desert.

"There's not an ounce of concern in her body." -- Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear
Enter the ruins to trigger a scene. As a side note, fight Earth Spirits and
Lesser Pans until you get a Rock. Also Steal (by equipping a Grass Chamber on
Luke's Raging Blast) a Gold Dust from the Lesser Pans. This is we need to do
something extra at Sheridan. Once you got them, go to the room where you fought
Sync and Largo. use the green save point before entering this area. Walk up a
little bit to trigger a scene and a Boss Battle!
-----------------
BOSS: Tyrannopion
-----------------
- Name: Tyrannopion
- Location: Zao Ruins
- HP: 48,000
- XP: 6,750
- P.ATK: 381
- P.DEF: 682
- F.ATK: 304
- F.DEF: 523
- Gald: 10,000
- Items dropped: Resist Ring
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: The last enemy was Dist's toy, and that was long ago. I recommend
bringing Anise instead of guy, because of her magic. Deactivate all her Fonic
Artes, except for Negative Gate and Limited. Have her use that all the battle,
and Jade use Ground Dasher. Every time Jade uses Ground Dasher, a complete
Earth FoF appears, so use Rending Thrust to make go use to it. Also, whenever
you can, use your Overlimit, as well as your allies. To perform Jade's Mystic
Arte, you need to cast a High Level Fonic Arte (Ground Dasher) to unleash his
Mystic Arte, Mystic Cage. As for Tear, while in Overlimit, you need to sing a
Hymn. Anyway, since its P.DEF is higher than its F.DEF, Jade and Anise are the
main damagers, while Luke is for support, as well as attacking.
-----------------
After the battle, watch the scene and enter the Sephiroth itself. Follow the
path until you reach the bottom and get 'Pineapple Gel' along the way. In the
next room, walk E a bit to trigger a scene. Go E and enter the next room. When
you see a forking path going N, follow it to find two chests with 'Lemon Gel'
and '7,650 Gald'. Return to the fork and follow the path E and at the next
fork, follow the path W until you reach the next room.
Save your game and follow the path to the passage ring. A scene triggers, then
an animated cutscene. After the scene, before leaving the passage ring, check
the W side of it to find a chest that's almost invisible. Open it to get 'Wing
Bottle'. Now return to the save point and use the Wing Bottle to trigger
another scene. Now exit the Zao Ruins and before heading to Chesedonia, go to
the SP6 and examine it until you get an Iron Sand (items reappear every time
you enter and exit a town). Now head to Chesedonia.

"His tail's so fluffy..." -- Tear 'Mystearica' Grants
A scene triggers as you enter. Now go to the N part of Chesedonia (where Din's
shop is), and speak to the Coachman that gave you a ride (he's near the Inn).
He'll tell you that he sold Tear's pendant to a man named Raiz, who is in Grand
Chokmah. Now exit Chesedonia and board the Albiore. Move a little bit in any
direction to trigger a scene in the Albiore. After the scene, head to Yulia
City and give the man the 5 maces he asked for. There are some things I want to
do before going to Daath. Now go to the Outer Lands and move around a bit to
trigger another scene. Now head to Grand Chokmah.
At Grand Chokmah, go to the Shopping Center and talk to Raiz, who is near the
stairs. Buy him Tear's Pendant for 100,000 Gald. I think Tear is falling for
Luke, so anyway, with this, we can wrap up this event. Exit and enter the
hidden door that's on the E side of the Shopping Center. Open the chest to get
'Purity' (that's 3 out of 7).
The next long paragraph is about some scenes with General Cecille and General
Frings. If you just don't want to this event, then skip where you see this
<~~~>. Enter Engeve to trigger a scene between Cecille and Frings. Afterwards,
go to the Inn to trigger another scene. Now go to Kaitzur (South) and enter the
W building to trigger a scene with Count Almandine. Return to Engeve and go to
Rose's house to trigger yet another scene. Exit Engeve, return to Kaitzur
(North) to trigger yet another scene. Afterwards, speak to Frings then exit
Kaitzur to go to Kaitzur naval Port. Once here, go the Kimlasca Base (S most
building) and a scene with Cecille triggers. You then obtain 'Cecille's Sword'
(the meaning of this is f***ed up, poor Frings). Exit, go to Engeve and enter
Rose's house to trigger a scene. You'll obtain 'Frings' Letter'. Return to
Kaitzur Naval Port and speak to Cecille. Exit, go to Chesedonia and then to
Astor's Mansion. Another scene triggers in here and you'll receive 'Memento
Ring'. Dammit... 2 more trips, I promise. Exit Chesedonia, go to Kaitzur
(North) and speak to Frings to trigger yet another scene. Final trip, finally.
Go to Kaitzur Naval Port and speak to Cecille to end this damn event.
<~~~>
After this long event (we have to do something like this between these 2 four
more times). Now go to Choral Castle, go up the E stairs and cross all the way
to the W side of this main room. Go N and E at the end to reach the King's and
Queen's thrones. A scene triggers as you approach them. A door opens. Go inside
and grab 'Requiem' from the chest (that's 4 out of 7). Return to the Outer
Lands and go to Daath.

"Booo. Fine, "former," but I still know the incantation
to activate the fonic glyph!" -- Anise Tatlin
Start by going to the Inn and a scene kicks in where Luke's training
continues. As before, a flashback with Tear and Legretta starts. When it's
over, go to the Cathedral to trigger a scene. Enter the Cathedral and after the
scene, go in the E room and approach the glyph on the floor to trigger yet
another scene. Now enter the E room and go in Ion's Chamber.
Another scene triggers in here. Try leaving Daath to trigger yet another
scene. You'll arrive at Baticul automatically and there's so little to do here
so I'll just write about it here and for the record, I love this part of the
game.
Once you gain control, talk to Natalia to trigger another scene. Run down the
hall, then down the stairs, then go W and at the main hall, go up the stairs
and enter the Audience Hall to trigger another scene. Asch comes to the rescue.
Exit Baticul, but there will be some scenes showing you how everybody helps you
escape. Time to go to Inista Marsh.
=~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~=
At the World Map, open your map and you'll see a mountain range going from the
W of Baticul all the way to the SE. Go to the S part of the mountain range to
see a bridge going W. Save before entering.

"... I'm... sorry... I... I didn't mean to start crying..."
-- Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear
This place is similar to Meggiora Highlands; you'll still be on the World Map.
Start by going S of your current position to find 'Talwar'. There are 3 paths
to follow from here. The NE, the NW and the W. Now follow the NW path to get to
a chest with 'Knight Helm'. Return to the entrance and go W this time to
trigger a scene where the NASTY monster appears. Return through the W path and
when you get to a bridge, before crossing, go NE to find two chests containing
'5,600 Gald' and 'Mystic Rod'. Now cross the bridge (remember where it's
located) and save your game.
Walk further in the marsh to trigger another scene. Now go NE to find a chest
with 'Drain Ward'. From here go NW, up a little hill to find another chest with
'Knight Guard'. Return to the save point and start going NW until you see a
bridge. Cross it to trigger another scene. Finish crossing the bridge and save
your game. Now go W towards the last bridge to trigger another scene and then
you'll fight Behemoth. Just run away, since it won't give you XP nor Gald (and
trust me, I did and after the battle, I was so pissed off). The scene continues
afterwards. Now we need to go to Belkend, but instead, save your game, reenter
the marsh.
Once inside, start going SE and you'll see a chest, but as soon as you
approach it, Behemoth will pop out of nowhere. Kill him and another 2 monsters
later on to get a title for Tear, so it's worth it. Engage him!
-----------------------
OPTIONAL BOSS: BEHEMOTH
-----------------------
- Name: Behemoth
- Location: Inista Marsh
- HP: 90,000
- XP: 19,000
- P.ATK: 822
- P.DEF: 419
- F.ATK: 560
- F.DEF: 475
- Gald: 22,000
- Items dropped: Golden Helm, Red Basil
- Steal: Red Basil
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: OMG, this enemy has a lot of HP, and it won't go down easily.
Physical attacks are your best bets here, so bringing Luke and Guy in this
fight is good. Also bring Tear for the healing, and Jade to help you with his
magic. Beware of its attacks, though. He has an attacks that guard breaks you
if it hits (looks like a stampede) and a flame breath that deals 4 hits of 700+
dmg. each.
Same as the other battles, when Behemoth goes in Overlimit, put the "On your
guard!" Strat until the Overlimit wears off. Also Free Run to keep your other
characters safe from danger. Also your Mystic Arte work really good here. He's
like most previous bosses, but only with higher P.ATK. Also use some Lemon Gels
and Pineapple Gels that you should have. Also, if you have Specifics, don't be
afraid to use them.
-----------------------
After the battle, go S to find a chest with 'Mirage Robe'. Remember the bridge
I told you to remember? Go there, on the other side from the save point and go
SW to find another chest with '3,200 Gald'. Leave Inista Marsh.
=~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~=
Once at the World Map, go SW, down a little hill, then go W to reach Port
Belkend. From here, just go to Belkend.

"... And sooner or later, your face is going to freeze into that sneer."

After the little scene, head to the W area (where Fon Research Lab is) and
before approaching the entrance, start breaking all the wooden crates on the E
side to find 'Poison Ward'. Now approach the entrance to trigger a scene with
Van and Legretta. Now leave Fon Research Lab (by going S, W, S, S, S). Once
outside, the scene continues. Asch is waiting for us at the Inn. Go there and
speak to Asch and Noelle. Asch will give you 'Genesis of the World'.
Exit the room when you can, speak to everybody and Jade at the end to have the
game proceed. After the scene, rest at the Inn again and when you're asked to
whether follow Guy or not, follow him to see a little scene with him and Van.
Return to Van's room in the Fon Research Lab, but before arriving, a scene
triggers. Before going to the Governor, enter Van's room and check the green
book on the NW side of the room to learn the recipe "Egg Bowl". Leave this
place and go to the Governor's building, which is next to the Inn.

"I took a ship, stupid. How else?." -- Asch the Bloody
Once at Daath, exit town and head to the Fourth Stone Monument, only if you
want to catch Spinoza, if not, then skip this paragraph. A scene triggers with
Asch and Noir, from the Black Wings. Now go to Keterburg to trigger another
scene with Asch and another member of the Dark Wings, Urushi. Next stop, Grand
Chokmah.
Go there to trigger one last scene and receive from the Dark Wing York, 'Dark
Wings Badge'. Do you want another Capacity Core? Then keep reading. Go inside
the palace and enter the door right in front of you (Peony's Chamber). Check
the left drawer to find 'Stre Maggiore'. Finally, return to Daath.
First of all, go to the Weapon Shop. Buy a Killer Sword for each Luke and Guy,
a Mystic Rod for either Tear or Anise (you should already have one), a Crescent
for Jade and a Clay Arrow for Natalia; a Knight Armor for each Luke and Guy, a
Knight Guard for either Tear or Natalia (you should already have one), a Mirage
Cloak for Anise, a Knight Robe for Jade and a Diamond Bracelet for each Luke,
Jade and Guy. All this will cost (it cost me) 89,860 Gald, so don't be greedy.
Now go to the Cathedral to trigger a scene. Once again, Ion joins the party
(I'm cheering on the inside... really). Go to the main hall of the Cathedral to
trigger a scene. Time to go to Sheridan, so try to leave Daath to trigger
another scene. Now go to the chapel, but since this place looks like a maze,
I'll guide you there. Follow the linear path and when you reach the main hall
(you'll be on an upper floor), enter the E door, go down the stairs, then go to
the Chapel (it's the place on the back). Talk to Guy to trigger a scene and
learn more about Guy's past.
Exit Keterburg and go to Tataroo Valley, which you can get to by going to the
beach SW of the valley, go onto land, disembark the Albiore and run to the
valley.

"Ohh? Night? In a place like this? Just the two of you?" -- Anise Tatlin
After the initial scene, go N to the chest and get 'Purple Ribbon' from it.
Follow the path until you reach the open area. Follow the hidden path SE to
find a chest with 'Carmine Chamber'. Also follow the E path to find two chests
containing 'Pineapple Gel' and '7,500 Gald'. Return to the fork and go N to
reach the first area you where the first time were here.
At the fork, go W and get 'Silk Hat' and 'Lemon Gel'. Go N at the previous
fork to trigger a little scene. Now follow the W path towards the flower field
just to trigger a scene between Luke and Tear. Return to the fork where the
little scene triggered and go E across the river to reach a new area.
Go S from the entrance, then the path curves W, then S again. Before going S,
look for a boulder on the N mountain (it's very hard to see, but it's in middle
of the two set of bushes). Go inside the cave and you'll be inside the
Sephiroth, but another entrance. Go all the way to the E side to find a
concentration of Fonons (like the one at Zao Ruins). After the scene, Mieu
learns the very useful "Mieu Wings". After it, go W to trigger another scene.
Now use Mieu Wings under the button to have a door open. Now go in the door
that just opened to find a chest with 'Knight Mace'. Return to the previous
room and use Mieu Wings under another button, then go in. You'll find two
chests in here, containing 'Life Bottle' and 'Wing Bottle'. Return outside (of
the Sephiroth), go S and follow the path to reach another area.
Follow the path E to trigger a pretty nice scene. Now use the healing save
point and hit the tree to find 'Panacea Bottle'. Now go up the hill behind the
save point and go N to find chest on top of a tree. Use Mieu Wings to get
'Knight Robe'. Go down and go all the way W to see another chest on a tree. Go
up there to get '6,000 Gald'. Now go S to trigger another scene and then a Boss
Battle!

BOSS: UNICEROS

- XP: 8,150
- P.ATK: 422

- F.ATK: 328
- F.DEF: 724
- Gald: 15,000
- Items dropped: Protect Ring, Saffron
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: Darkness
- Strong: Wind, Light
- Strategy: To start, deactivate all Light and Wind-based Artes. Bringing Anise
instead of Guy is a very good idea, so you can use her Negative Gate and take
chunks of HP. Using Mystic Artes is one of the best things you can do. They all
deal very good dmg. There really isn't much to say. If you beat Behemoth
before, then you'll have no problems at all against this majestic monster.
--------------
Watch the scene after the battle. Now examine the door so Ion can release the
Daathic Seal. Now enter the Sephiroth. Go N and before entering the door, go W
to find 'Alca Maggiore'. Now go in the door to the N. A scene triggers as you
walk a little bit. Now, see the 2 blue orbs next to the fork-like thing in
middle of the room? You need to hit the fork with Mieu Attack to activate both
orbs at the same time. Follow the path to reach the passage ring.
Another scene triggers in here. Save your game and follow the NE path to reach
another area. You'll see 3 forks and 5 orbs in this room. Hit the forks in the
following order: left, middle, right and middle. The E path opens, so follow
it. In this room, go E, up the stairs and follow the path to the end to find a
chest with 'Mirage Gloves'. Now enter the door you previously passed. Hit the
fork in middle of the room, then head to the W room.
In this large room, go to the bottom floor and hit the left fork, then the
right one. Now go to the top floor and do the same thing you did at the bottom
floor. Return to the previous room and hit the fork again to combine both air
currents. Now go to the SE corner of the room and use Mieu Wings to have the
air current take you to a chest containing 'Aqua Cape'. Now exit this room and
return to the passage ring to trigger a scene. Finally all of the Sephiroth are
connected and ready to lower the Outer Lands.
Don't use a Wing Bottle, since there's a recipe we need to get. Exit the
passage ring and go to the flower field to trigger a scene. You'll learn
"Cake" during the scene. Now exit Tataroo Valley and go to Sheridan.
Once at Sheridan, go to the Meeting Hall to trigger a scene. Once it's over,
exit to trigger another scene. Now go to the E side and speak to Natalia. Time
to go to the Inn and rest to trigger a scene. When you regain control, exit the
Inn to trigger another scene. Now go to the Inn and rest again to have Tear
give Luke his final lesson. Once it's over, Tear receives her title "Big
Sister". Now go to Theor Forest.

"*Sigh*... I guess royalty can't just sit around in pretty clothes

Enter Theor Forest from Grand Chokmah's side and go S until you get to the
Save Point. From here, go S with a little bit of W to find a chest on top of a
tree. Use Mieu Wings underneath it to get 'Cators Bow'. Now exit Theor Forest
and go to Baticul.
As you start, go to the castle. Once in here, go in the left door, go upstairs
and left again to enter King Ingobert's room. After the scene, exit the castle
and go to the Inn and spend the night (the Inn in on top of the Arena). After
the scene, Natalia receives the title "Child of Lanvaldear". When you regain
control, exit the Audience Chamber and enter the right door. Go upstairs and
right again to enter Natalia's Chambers. Speak to the maid at the right side to
trigger a scene and Tear receives the change costume title "Proud Maid".
Now exit the castle and enter Luke's house. Talk to his mom to get the money
to buy the book from the guy at Yulia City. Once this it done, go to the bottom
area (the area where the Arena is) and from the lift, go right to trigger a
scene. Now exit Baticul and go to Grand Chokmah.
Once here, go to the palace. Once inside, go up the stairs and enter the
Audience Hall. A scene triggers in here, then exit Grand Chokmah and go to
Daath.

"Shut up. Don't beg. I'll puke." -- Emperor Peony the Ninth
As you arrive, go to the Cathedral to see a scene before you enter. Dist said
he'll wait for us at the point of the Covenant, Keterburg. Let him die there...
I wish we could. Anyway, we need to go and "meet" Cantor Reiner, who is at the
Oracle HQ. So, exit the Cathedral and at the entrance (outside), go NE, tell
the Oracle Knight to move and enter Oracle HQ. A scene triggers in here, where
some Oracle Knights ambushes the party, giving a damn about Ion.
After the fight and when you regain control, go up the NE stairs and follow
the path until you reach the top floor. At the E side of the room, there's a
ladder that was inaccessible. Use Mieu Wings to grab on and on top, enter the
room in front of you to find 'Melange Gel'. Exit this room and follow the N
path to find a chest containing 'Red Savory' (I recommend using it on the
character you use more). Return to the previous floor and go to the SW side of
the room to find a ladder similar to the previous one. There are two chests on
top, containing 'Killer Bow' and 'Epee'. Equip them and return to the entrance.
Now go up the NW stairs, then the W ones and enter the door. In here, go in
the N door and follow the path to the bottom (you remember this place?) to
trigger a scene with Reiner and receive 'Flightstone'. Exit Oracle HQ and Ion
will suggest going to Chesedonia... thank you, Ion, but before going, there's a
little something we need to do (optional, so if you don't want to do it, skip
the next paragraph).
Enter the Cathedral and speak to Tritheim. He'll give you some valuable info
regarding Luke's Sword, Nebilim, as being one of the Catalyst Weapons (they're
like the Devil's Arms in ToS). So board the Albiore and go to Keterburg. Once
here, go and speak to Nephry. Afterwards, go to Grand Chokmah and speak to
Peony. One of the scenes that made me almost wet my pants... Hahaha. You'll
receive 'Lost Celesti'. Now, on to Jade's office. Where is it? Exit the palace,
go W and enter the Malkuth Military HQ. In here, go S, S again and enter Jade's
office for another scene. So, basically, we need to find the Catalyst Weapons
the hard way.
Now return to the Conference Room and speak to Teodoro. He'll tell you to go
to Sheridan, but, remember we were playing cupid for Cecille and Frings? Let's
keep helping them, so go to Kaitzur Naval Port, enter the Kimlasca Base and a
scene with Cecille triggers. She finally accepts Frings ring, but there's
something really important to do next. Enter Grand Chokmah via the port and go
W to trigger a scene with the Dark Wings and you'll receive 'Key of Darkness'.

"I know that! Hencken, Cathy, Aston... I'm sorry!" -- Luke fon Fabre
The scene continues and afterwards, exit the Meeting Hall to have yet another
scene start. After it, try exiting Sheridan the normal way to have some Oracle
Knights block your way. So go to the NE area and exit through the NW exit. Once
at the World Map, run to Sheridan Port. Save before entering.
Another scene triggers in here, but poor of the elderly... ooo, an animated
cutscene, nice! But Sync is here, dammit! Time to take care of him once again!
----------
BOSS: SYNC
----------
- Name: Sync
- Location: The Core
- HP: 83,500
- XP: 9,300
- P.ATK: 543
- P.DEF: 537
- F.ATK: 261
- F.DEF: 462
- Gald: 16,000
- Items dropped: Spirit Ring
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Ok, Sync is harder this time, but manageable. He has some powerful
attacks, and a lot of HP. His Arcane Artes are something to be afraid of. Both
Cyclone Blaze and Stone Dragon Ascent are so powerful that might put in
critical any character it hits. He uses these a lot when his HP gets below 50%,
so save your Mystic Artes when the tough part begins. Once at this point, he'll
start using his Arcane Artes, as well as his Mystic Arte, the Akashic Torment.
At this point, start using all your Mystic Artes like crazy until he dies.
Bringing Tear with you, as well as Jade is, maybe, the best decision you could
do. Tear, well, what she does best, heal the party and Jade, for his Ground
Dasher and Blessed Drops, creating FoF of Earth and Water, so you can use
Guardian Frost and Rending Quake.
----------
Watch the scene after the battle to see Sync's true identity, he's *****
(haha, not telling). You'll be, afterwards, in some sort of minigame. What you
need to do is use Mieu Fire to hit the ball of light in the direction Tear
tells you. If you run out of time, or hit it wrong, you'll have to start all
over again.
Once you're done, (if you did it without having Tear do it for you) Tear
receives the title "Singer of the Verse". Watch the little scene, then time to
go to Belkend.
Once here, enter the Governor's Residence to trigger a scene. We now need to
go see Shu at the Lab, but you'll come here automatically. When you regain
control, speak to Jade and Ion if you want, then speak to Tear, who is in the
room right next to you. During the nice scene with Tear, she receives the title
"Strong of Heart". When you regain control again, exit the Medical Room and go
N, then W to trigger yet another scene. He tells you that you'll need a boat or
something to reach Meggiora Highland's Sephiroth.
Ok, so exit Belkend and head to the SE side of the Radessia continent (where
Sheridan is). You'll find the entrance to the river you were told about. Follow
the river until you can enter the Meggiora Highlands.

"Why the hell do you sound so happy...?" -- Luke fon Fabre
Start by going W and hug the wall until you get to a lone chest containing
'4,800 Gald'. From here, go W, under an arch and you'll eventually reach a save
point. Save and go N to find the fifth entrance...
Run up the stairs to find a strange platform with 2 stone pillars, 4 green
pillars and 2 red squares. The objective is to put both stone pillars on top of
the red squares. So, start hitting with Mieu Attack the top pillar twice, then
the right pillar once, then the bottom pillar five times, the top pillar once
again, the bottom pillar again and the left pillar twice. Once you finish, a
ray of light comes out of the center of the platform. Now exit this entrance.
(This disables Rock Break)
Back at the save point, go W, under the arch (the one you previously passed)
and go N to find the fourth entrance...
In here, your objective is to put the four blue pedestals on top of the red
squares. Quite easy, but, let's grab some treasure before doing it, savvy?
You'll see 2 fans at the left and right sides of the middle pedestal. Use Mieu
Wings in front of the left fan to have it blow you to the W. Open the chest to
get 'Katana'. Equip it, go down and do the same thing with the right fan, this
time you'll get 'Melange Gel'. Now just put the blue pedestals in the red
squares. This time, you'll disable Turbulence.
Return to the entrance of Meggiora Highlands. Ok, I'll help you out a bit, but
first, let's go get a treasure. Go SW as you exit the fourth entrance to find a
chest containing 'Royal Guard'. Now, from the fourth entrance, go E and after
the second arch, go SE to reach the entrance. Once here, go E, hugging the wall
and when you see a save point, ignore it and keep following that wall until you
see a lone chest with 'Hamayumi' in it. Now return to the save point and enter
the third entrance...
Like the previous entrances, we need to put the pillars on top of the red
squared (these pillars are made of ice), so... start by pushing the middle
pillar (the one S of the yellow middle pedestal) right, down and left twice.
That's the first one. For the second one... push the lone SE pillar up thrice,
and leave it there. You'll see two more pillars at the NW corner. Push the top
one up once and the bottom one twice. Now, this last pillar push it right until
it fits on the red square. That's it, this will disable Splash.
I totally agree with "Gbness" in this one, the second entrance is ridiculously
hard. I spent almost 2 hours to figure out how the hell to do this. I'll skip
how to do it, besides, you have already done the three entrances, and the
fourth entrance is a plus... so sorry, I'll skip it.
Before returning to the entrance, from the third entrance, go NW and after
you've crossed the two arches, go W to see two paths. Follow the lower one to
find a save point and the second entrance. Ignore them and go pass them to find
two chests containing 'Duel Helm' and 'Battle Axe'. Return to the entrance and
go N from here to find 2 chests containing 'Full Plate' and '7,200 Gald'.
Return to the entrance, return N a bit and go E and follow the circular path to
reach the Daathic Seal, but there's a scene before you reach it. Once it's
over, approach the Daathic Seal to trigger yet another scene. Once it's over,
save your game and enter the Sephiroth (finally).
-------------------
BOSS: REPAIR FONBOT
-------------------
- Strategy: This enemy is rather easy. He has a very wide normal attack that
hits several times. Also, if you completed the entrances, then he'll only have
his Flame Burst and Explosion Fonic Arte. Not much to say for this battle. You
might as well put the game a little harder just to have some challenge from it.
Also use your Mystic Artes as soon as you can.
-------------------
After the battle, a scene triggers and you'll receive 'Robot's Generator'. Now
go to the elevator, take it down to get to the Passage Ring. Another scene
triggers. Now exit the Sephiroth and walk a bit to trigger another scene. Once
it's over, try exiting the Highlands to trigger yet another scene. Now hop on
the Albiore to have the scene continue. Now enter Belkend and the scene
continues. We need to go to Daath now, so hop on the Albiore and go there.
Once here, buy any upgrades you need, and restock your item supply. Now enter
the Cathedral to trigger a scene with Mohs. Once it's over, enter the E door,
go up the stairs and at the top, enter the W door. At the main hall again, go W
(ignore the room Mohs showed you) and enter the NW door (the top one). When you
reach a fork, go S and at the next fork, ignore the door and go E until pass a
room with a chest.
After that room, go N and at the next fork, go W, then S. At the open room,
enter the NW door and follow the path until you reach the same open room. Do
you see the circle in middle of the room? Use Mieu Wings on top of it to fall
in front of the chest you saw earlier. Open it to get 'Sunlight Chamber', now
go down the stairs, fall once more and enter the W door. Now enter the NE door
and follow the path until you enter the Library. A scene triggers in here as
you enter. Once it's over, enter the door Anise found to trigger a scene and go
to Mt. Zaleho.
Allow me to explain a little bit about the Sunlight Chamber you just found.
Remember the FoF? Well, there are two classes of these, complete and
incomplete. The complete FoF are the ones full of color and the incomplete,
well, the FoF that lack color. The incomplete FoF are useless, unless you equip
the Sunlight Chamber on that Arte. So that's what it does, it lets you use
incomplete FoF, except for Darkness or Light FoF.

"... He's playing tag with you in his dreams, Colonel." -- Anise Tatlin
When you regain control, go S to find a save point. At the W side of the save
point is 'Arc Wand' and to the E is 'Strecido'. Save your game and go S to
reach another area. Follow the path and when you get to a fork, go NW to find a
chest with 'Wing Bottle' in it. Now go S to reach another fork. GO S to find a
chest with 'Cobalt Chamber'. Now return to the previous fork and go W to find
the Daathic Seal.
Once inside, go all the way N to find a chest with 'Druid Cloak' in it. Now
return to the previous fork and go SE this time and approach the bridge to
trigger a scene. Once it's over, go N to find a little "key hole" floating in
midair. Use Mieu Fire to hit it and have a bridge appear. Keep following the
path and kill the enemy at the end. It'll transform in a block. Push it to the
E into the hole and shoot Mieu Fire at the "key hole" and keep going until
you're off the bridge. Now go E and enter the cavern.
Follow the path to the bottom and kill the enemy down there so it can turn
into a block. Now push the block all the way to the E. Now exit the cavern and
go N to find another cavern. Enter it and kill the enemy. Now drop the block
right on top of the previous block. Now return to the first cavern and make
your way E to reach another area.
Walk a bit to find a normal save point with particles. Ignore it for now and
enter the Passage Ring. After the scene, exit Mt. Zaleho via Wing Bottle (if
you want) and go to Belkend.
Once at Ortion Cavern, watch the scene and proceed further in to trigger yet
another scene. Now move to the end of the cavern to trigger a scene with Tear
and Asch. At Sheridan, enter the Meeting Hall to trigger another scene. We need
to go to Keterburg and talk to Nephry. So go there and talk to her. Saphir was
waiting for Jade. So time to go to the Inn (Hotel) to trigger a scene, very,
very funny, by the way... Hahaha!!! Jade's kinky... Hahaha!!!
Now go to the first floor and speak to the man with a red bandana. He's
selling Van's book, so, you now the deal.. exit, watch the scene and go speak
to Luke's mom for the money (damn you Natalia...). Return to Keterburg and buy
the book. Luke will learn Slag Assault, nice... Upgrade your equipment and
restock your item supply, then exit Keterburg through the N exit.
=~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~=
At the World Map, follow the N mountain range W until you reach Mt. Roneal.

"No. That part of you is something I lack. I...
still can't really grasp what it means for people to die." -- Jade Curtiss
From where you start, go W and hit the tree using Mieu Attack to have a chest
fall. Open it to get 'Lemon Gel'. Now go NE and hit the NE most tree to reveal
another chest. Open it to get 'Wing Bottle', now go E into a hidden crack to
find a chest with 'Pineapple Gel'. Now go W to find a fork just on top of a
little slope. Go E and E again to find a chest with 'Aquamarine'. Return to the
previous fork and go W this time to reach another area.
After the scene, go E and get 'Panacea Bottle'. Keep going N and the next
fork, go W, but beware, because the floor is slippery. There's also 'Dinei
Bottle' on the left side, so make sure you get it. Return to the fork previous
to the ice floor and go N this time.
In here, you'll see a little mountain in front of you. Use Mieu Fire to melt
it and get 'Mythril Guard'. Keep going and before exiting, melt the ice
mountain to the NW to find a chest with 'Nocercido', now exit.
Follow the path NE to trigger a scene. Afterwards, follow the path, open the
chest next to the save point to get 'Battle Bow'. Now save the game with the
healing save point (yay...) and follow the path until a scene kicks in, getting
'Treat' near the Yeti enemy. Make sure you have an Arte with which you can
steal.

- F.DEF: 348
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: Earth, Fire
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Ok, maybe the hardest battle in the game (at least for me it was).
Disable all of Tear's Artes, except for Revitalize. As for Jade, everything
except for Blessing Drops. First of all, focus your attacks on Legretta, since
she's the hardest, the quickest, the everything. Once she's gone, the rest of
the battle is a hell lot easier. Take Arietta next, because of her magic, and
just because she's annoying. And last but not least, take Largo down. Largo
alone isn't hard at all. What makes this battle hard are, mainly Legretta and
Arietta. Don't forget to steal Arietta's Time Traveling Girl, which is a doll
for Anise. In hard mode, these three use their Mystic Artes, giving you a lot
more difficulty. But don't worry, in normal, they don't use them.
You'll receive after the battle... 13,500 XP, 24,000 Gald and Sapphire ring,
Red Sage, Mystic Mark, Red Lavender and Reflect Ring.
------------------------------
Watch the scene after the battle. When you regain control, enter the Sephiroth
and check the S side of this room to find a chest with 'Pineapple Gel', now go
W and enter the next area. Follow the circular path and use the elevator at the
end to reach the Passage Ring. After the scene, go S and exit Mt. Roneal using
the save point. Now return to Keterburg.
Once you've spoken to everyone, go to the Inn and spend the night to trigger
some scenes. When you regain control, exit the hotel to trigger a scene. Now
exit Keterburg and head for the Absorption Gate, which is the small island NE
of Keterburg. Remember to restock your item supply, you may need it after the
battle with the God-Generals.

"Then just kill me and make a replica." -- Tear 'Mystearica' Grants
Prepare for the second largest dungeon in the entire game, and probably my
most hated one. So, proceed N to trigger a scene. Afterwards, go inside and
proceed further inside to trigger another scene. Once it's over, check the
central score in middle of the room. Remember the previous Sephiroths? We need
to bring a blue, red and yellow fonons. You'll also notice that there are 4
available paths in this room (without counting the path we used to get in
here).
Follow the NW path to find some blue fonons at the end. Grab them and return
to the score. Now take the SE path and get the yellow fonons at the end, same
here, return to the score. Finally take the NE path and grab the red fonons at
the end. Return to the score and put the fonons in the right order to make a
lift appear where the score is.
Once at the bottom of the lift, an earthquake occurs. Big deal. Follow the
path and enter the huge white gate you encounter. Now go, N, E, S down the ramp
and keep going S until you see another gate on your right. Take it. At the fork
outside, follow it downwards to find a chest with 'Tartan Ribbon' just before
the flame wall. Now follow the path upwards and enter the white gate when you
come to it.
Follow the path NW and at the end go S down the ramp, then go E, S at the
fork, down the ramp and W at the next fork. Before entering the gate, get
'Pineapple Gel' from the chest NW of the gate itself.
Once outside the gate, take the upper path and enter the white gate at the end
of the path (ignore the first gate). His one should be easy, so head to the
bottom to find a fish-like enemy with red fire in it. When you kill it, a the
red fire walls will disappear. Nice... so return from whence you came and at
the fork, go W and open the chest containing 'Red Basil'. Now enter the white
gate we skipped before.
Go S in here, then down the ramp, then follow the path N and down the ramp, go
E and open the chest to find 'Mythril Cloak', then go S to find another chest
containing 'Ancient Ribbon'. Return to the previous chest and go N to find the
exit. Use the lift at the end of the path.
Down here, make sure you use the healing save point. Move S a bit to trigger a
scene where the party splits. You'll now be in control of Luke and Tear. There
are three teams now: Luke and Tear, Guy and Natalia; and Jade and Anise. So
let's start with Luke. Follow the SW path, lit the first "key hole" and proceed
further down, but just a bit to see another "key hole" N of you. BE SURE TO HIT
IT! You'll see another one along the way, so lit that one up as well. When you
reach a fork, go E for 'Mighty Saber' and continue until you reach the bottom.
Once down here, hit the yellow orb under the fork to make the purple gate
disappear. Proceed and use the warp to go down. At the second fork, go W and
lit the "key hole"; and go E and hit the yellow orb under the fork to make a
purple gate disappear. Use the warp down and examine the white glyph on the
floor to change to Guy's team.
Start following the path and enter the white gate. This is way too easy for me
to explain, so just get 'Treat' and at the bottom, watch the scene and save
your game. Now go through the white portal and follow the path until you reach
a fork, which you should take W for a 'Grass Chamber'. Return to the fork and
go S to reach a white portal... enter it.
In here, follow the S warp path to find 'War Hammer'. Now go down once again
and exit this area. Kill the enemy walking around here to have turn into a
block. You'll also see two gaps, one on the left and one on the upper right.
There are also two openings per gap, so push it down the left opening of the
left gap. Now step on the white glyph and change to Jade's team.
From where you appear, go E to find 'Rare Protector', now go W and enter the
white gate. Simply follow the warp path, get 'Carmine Chamber', go S and save
your game. Now exit through the portal.
Follow the path (ignore the white gate for now) and at the fork, go W and kill
the enemy there to have it turn into a block. Now push down on the left side of
the seesaw. Return to the previous fork and go S this time to find yet another
fork. Follow it S to find a chest with 'Pineapple Gel'. Return to the fork and
enter the white gate E of you.
From here, follow the S warp path for 'Strike Eagle'. Return to the entrance
and take the N warp path. Down here, use the first warp you come across to find
'Special Gel'. Return down the warp and use the S most warp and follow the warp
paths until you reach the bottom.
Once outside, get '20,000 Gald' from the chest in front of you. Keep following
the path W to find 'Rare Bracelet'. Return and push the block Guy dropped over
the gap to the W. Now use the white glyph and change to Luke's team. Go N, the
E going up the seesaw and hit the fork to make another purple gate disappear.
Return to the middle point of the seesaw to trigger a little scene. Now go to
where the block is and break it using Mieu Attack. Return to the white glyph,
but go up the warp, go to the second fork is (where the seesaw is), and follow
it E to find '12,000 Gald'. Return down the warp and now use the white glyph
and change to Guy's team.
Kill another golem enemy and now push it over the gap to the upper right and
return to Luke's team. Go N to the seesaw, go W from here and hit the fork at
the end. Now switch to Guy's team and follow the path until you switch
automatically to Jade's team. Follow the W path until you arrive to where guy's
team is. Both teams have joined, so run through the save point and kill the
enemy there so Luke can enter (this eliminates the blue fire walls). Now with
Luke, just run N to rejoin the team.
After all the lines, regroup, save your game and warp down. Watch the scenes
and prepare for the third best fight so far...

BOSS: VAN
---------
- Name: Van
- Location: Absorption Gate
- HP: 132,000 / 198,000
- XP: 15,000
- P.ATK: 682 / 1023
- P.DEF: 700 / 1050
- F.ATK: 386 / 579
- F.DEF: 561 / 841
- Gald: 30,000
- Items dropped: Force Ring
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Ok, the third best fight in the game. Make sure you bring Jade and
Tear in this fight, as we'll be needing healing like never before and Jade's
magic every second. Since Van was Luke's sensei, he has a lot of Luke's
attacks. Base artes, like Raging Blast; Arcane artes like Lightning Tiger
Blade, Guardian Frost, Shining Blade and Radiant Dragon. He also has high level
Fonic Artes, like Jade's Ground Dasher and Infernal Prison. He also has his
damn Mystic Arte, Imperial Slaughter, which will kill anyone who receives the
attack, even with high HP.
Put everyone's TP usage to 100%, and make them use the Overlimit whenever they
can. Also, disable all of Tear's artes, except for Healing Circle, Revitalize
and Resurrection; as for Jade, disable all of his artes except for Ground
Dasher, Blessed Drops, Infernal Prison and Thunder Blade. And for Guy, if
you're bringing him (I really recommend you bring him), don't disable anything.
When Van reaches 75,000 HP, he'll start using Arcane artes like if there would
be no tomorrow. He'll also going in Overlimit and start using his Imperial
Slaughter at the end of the Overlimit. When he goes in Overlimit, open the menu
(/\ button) and press L1 until the "On your guard!" strategy appears. This will
make your character to get out of Van's way, so make him follow you and only
you, and try to escape his Mystic arte, because it'll kill you.
Have Jade use his artes during all the battle and Tear using Revitalize and
Healing Circle. If anyone dies, try reviving him/her with a Life Bottle, so
Tear doesn't spend her TP. This is one of the toughest battles in the game, you
may have to reset a couple times, but it's a while since I wanted to kick Van's
ass.
---------
After the fight, watch a scene, and an animated cutscene. And see you back at
home.

"I'm sorry... But I don't even really have a name.
Or a family. I'm empty." -- Luke fon Fabre
Once you regain control, go to the Drawing Room and speak to anybody to
trigger a scene. Also, Luke receives the title "Lost Child". Exit the Drawing
Room through the E exit and talk to Ramdas to trigger another scene. You'll
receive 'A Letter from Friends'. Once you regain control, go to the shopping
room and buy: 2 Holy Judgments (one for Guy because he's going to rejoin
shortly), a Rare Plate and I really recommend you buying the Rare Boots,
because they'll give Luke 120 more AGL.
Now head to the port and speak to General Cecille. Wow... it's official then.
They're getting married. Now talk to either soldier to board the ferry. Once on
board just read the letters. Then exit Port Sheridan and go to Sheridan itself.
Enter the Meeting Hall to trigger a scene with Aston. When you finally have the
Albiore, you may notice the Auto-pilot function. That's pretty nice and
efficient, so use it to go to Yulia City.
Once here, walk N a bit to trigger a scene with Teodoro. Time to talk to Tear.
Go to her house, up to the second floor and in the flower garden to trigger a
scene with her. After the scene, exit Yulia City, go to Daath to trigger a
scene with Anise. Afterwards, go to the Cathedral to trigger yet another scene.
Then go to Ion's room to have another scene kick in. At the end of the scene,
Guy rejoins the party (yay... ^_^). Now exit Daath and go to Fallen St. Binah.
Once at Fallen St. Binah, go N to trigger a scene with Field Marshal McGovern.
Once it's over, go to Shurrey Hill.

"Mohs is such a bastard!" -- Luke fon Fabre
Once here, a scene triggers as you enter (I hate that music...). Then enter
the Sephiroth to trigger another scene. Now go N to have a scene with Asch kick
in. So... the God-Generals are alive... that's not good at all. Now exit
Shurrey Hill and go to Fallen St. Binah.
A scene triggers as you arrive. Looks like Jade's having problems with his
men. Jade rejoins the team and you're taken to Grand Chokmah automatically.
Poor Frings... and he was about to get married to General Cecille. Now go to
the Palace and speak to Peony. Afterwards, go to the entrance to trigger
another scene. Time to go to Baticul.
Enter the Inn and check the green book at the NW side of the Inn to learn the
recipe "Onion Soup". Exit, go NE and speak to the Elder McGovern to trigger a
scene. Return to the Inn and speak to Glenn McGovern to trigger another scene
and afterwards, we need to find his Rappig. Not a problem at all, just exit
town and you should see it in front of you. Now return to Glenn and obtain the
Catalyst Weapon 'Blood Pain'.
Now head to Daath. I bet you anything you're just plain happy with the Auto-
pilot feature. Hahaha... me too.
Enter Daath to trigger a scene. Once you regain control, head to the bottom of
the Cathedral to trigger another scene with Arietta and Legretta (their names
are so similar ;p). Who would have though Arietta would...? Just watch the
scene. Remember the entrance to Mt. Zaleho? Go there to trigger yet another
scene, but with Mohs this time. Anise receives also the title of 'Spy'. Now try
exiting Daath to trigger a scene (rather shocking, by the way!). Once on board
the Albiore, use the Auto-pilot feature to reach Mt. Zaleho.

"Thank you... for everything... My most... cherished..." -- Ion
After the initial scene, go E and at the first fork, follow the lower path to
find 'Flare Cape'. Return to the fork and keep following the path until you
reach yet another fork. Follow the upper path for 'Melange Gel'. Return to the
previous fork and follow the path until you reach another scene.
A scene triggers as you move further in. At the first fork you get to, go W
(be careful of the magma jumping around) and get 'Life Bottle' from the chest.
At the next fork, go W to reach another area. At the fork down the ramp, follow
it E to find two chests containing 'Cobalt Chamber' and 'Pineapple Gel'. Now
return to the fork and go SW this time, but beware, because the lava will cover
the path every now and then.
At this next area, a scene triggers where a dragon attacks the party. Once
it's over, the dragon will keep attacking you, so try and avoid the fireballs.
Before running W, go NE to find a hidden chest with 'Sunlight Chamber' in it.
As you run W (remember about the lava covering the path? It'll happen here
too), you'll see a chest S of you. Run W, wait until the lava goes down and run
E to open the chest that contains 'Carmine Chamber'. Now follow the path W,
ignore the fork you come across and enter the next area.
At the first fork, go W to find 'Rare Circlet' and continue onwards. When you
reach a fork, enter the cave NW to get 'Lunar Guard'. Now go S from the
previous fork and at the bottom, the lava here also comes up and covers the
path... what a pain (one of Luke's past quotes). So follow the path and get
'Life Bottle', BUT DO NOT PRESS X. Wait until the lava goes down, press X to
exit the "You've obtained..." dialog globe and keep following the path.
Save the game at the healing sparkling save point (these are my favorite type
of save points, can you guess why?!). Continue onwards and prepare for a super
huge room where lava covers all the path. At the first fork, go E and get 'Do
Sanga'. Return to the fork and go N this time. At the next fork, go S (yes,
you'll burn, but who cares... you have Tear and Natalia to cure the party) and
get 'Silver and White' from the chest.
Now return to the save point, save and heal, and return to the previous area.
Go N at the first fork and W at the second... Boss Battle.
---------------
BOSS: FYR BRONC
---------------
- Strategy: Ok, it may be a dragon, but he's easy. Turn off all of Jade's artes
except for Blessed Drops. Since Fyr is weak to Water, Blessed Drops is going to
be devastating. Also, start spamming Guardian Frosts like crazy, or if you're
using Guy, Frigid Moons like if there's no tomorrow. Have Tear heal all the
battle and replenish her TP with Pineapple Gels when needed. It has lower F.DEF
than P.DEF, so Jade's Blessed Drops will be the main source of dmg. As for his
attacks, they may be dealing 400-550 dmg. That's pretty high, but he's slow, so
an Apple/Lemon Gel can fix it.
---------------
Watch the small scene after the battle. Afterwards, go E, enter a purplish
cave (it blends with the surroundings) and follow the path until a scene kicks
in... OMG! The second saddest scene in the game is starting... *sniff* *sob*
*sniff*.
When you regain control, enter the Chapel to find Anise. Talk to her to
trigger a scene. You'll obtain 'Ion's Fonstone'. When you regain control, GO TO
DAATH BAY!!! A scene triggers as you enter and Natalia will learn "Healing
Force". Now leave and go to Belkend.

"... If you look up "villain" in the dictionary,
I bet you'll see Jade's face next to it." -- Guy Cecil
After the initial scene. Time to find and speak to Spinoza. Go to Fon Machine
Lab 1, then go N and W to find Spinoza there. After the scene, exit Belkend and
time to do a lot of stuff before continuing with the story. Please skip to
where you see the >~~~<.
The 1st paragraph is for Mieu, the 2nd for Natalia, the 3rd for Luke and his
mom, as well as for the Albiore (I don't think I should call this a paragraph,
but whatever), the 4th through the 9th for the Albiore, the 10th and 11th for
Jade, the 13th, 14th and 15th for Mieu's Family and the 16th and 17th something
random.
Start by going to Keterburg and go to the W side of the Hotel (where the
benches are) and a scene with Shiba and Peko (only triggers if you saved Shiba
at Aramis Spring). When you regain control, instead of exiting Mt. Zaleho,
enter the next area, and at the second fork, go SE and get 'Stun Talisman'. Now
go to where Dragon was spitting fire at you. Remember the path that I told you
was unavailable to the SW? Follow it and you'll find a cluster of the Fifth
Fonon (Fire). This is an upgrade to Mieu Fire, to become "Mieu Fire 2". You may
think: "Wow... that it?", but it's really efficient. Now go to the E, light the
"key hole" after the scene to trigger another scene. Cross the bridge, enter
the cave and examine the red thing next to the chest to get 'Flamberge'. Now
open the chest to get 'Special Gel'. Return to where you threw the freezing
thing to exit Mt. Roneal. Now go to Baticul.
Enter the Abandoned Factory, go up the second ladder you come across, go up
the next one, then use Mieu Wings to fly up to a broken ladder. At the end of
the path, lit the yellow lantern with Mieu Fire 2. An air cab will go outside,
so return to town and use the air cab N of you. Follow the path (ignore the
ladder) and at the end of it, open the chests to get 'Holy Quelquatl' and
'Sunlight Chamber'.
Remember the side quest about harvesting some Death Caps for Luke's mom? Just
complete it (we need this for the Greater Flightstone).
With the Greater Flightstone, we need to get the Refined Flightstone. Now,
from Keterburg, go W across the river and land over the ice. Now enter Mt.
Roneal from the N entrance. In here, go N and after the ice arch, start
following the upper riverside until the ground goes down. From here, go SE and
get 'Vorpal Sword' from the ground. Return to the top, go E to find three
trees. Use Mieu Wings on the middle one to get on top and get 'Mythril
Circlet' and 'Special Gel'.
Return below and go up the bottom one and get '15,000 Gald'. Then lit up the
thingy next to the chest to have a gate open. Proceed. Go S from the entrance
to get 'Wind Cape'. Keep following the path until you see two thingies in
middle of the room. Lit them up at the same time, get 'Red Lavender', melt the
iceberg blocking the way and go N to reach another area with thingies.
You'll notice that a wall is blocking the thingies, so use the mirror on top
to reflect Mieu Fire. Proceed. Follow the path until you're on the other side
of the room. Push the pillar on top of the white circle, now return to the
first area (where the blizzard is) and go N.
In this weird room, you'll see nine pillars throughout the room; 3 on top, 3
in middle and 3 at the bottom. Also, there's a white circle near each set. What
you have to do, is reorder the pillars so that the top ones form "/", the
middle set "\" and the bottom set "/", but the middle pillar has to be on top
of the white circle. Got it? Now exit all the way to the World Map.
Once out here, board the Albiore and go E a little bit to reach the E entrance
of Mt. Roneal. In here, Mieu Fire the pile of ice to get '7,800 Gald'. Keep
following the path until you reach the next area (ignore the fork). Get 'Grass
Chamber' from the lone chest and go NW, break the iceberg with Mieu Attack and
at the next fork, go S, push the pillar to the W, return to the fork and go N.
You have to lit every torch, which is kinda hard, but use R1 and L1 to make
things a bit easier.
Return to the room with the nine pillars and enter the door you previously
opened. Once at the snow field, start going NE, but watch out for the enemies,
because they are hard, but not as those of Mushroom Road. Follow the path until
you get to a SP and obtain 'Refined Flightstone'. With this Flightstone, you
can now pass through bad weather. Return to the Albiore and let's keep doing
the things that we need to do.
Stone 2: Go to the N side of Chesedonia and enter the Inn there. Go up to the
second floor and enter the second door. Examine the right desk to retrieve it.
Stone 3: Go to Keterburg from the S entrance and examine the statue in the
middle, now go to the N area and examine the statue from behind to get the
stone.
Stone 4: Head to Sheridan and go to the NW area to trigger a scene and receive
the stone. Jade will learn how to cast "Absolute"... pretty damn nice ;p. Also,
before leaving, go to the Meeting Hall, talk to the yellow Cheagle , named
Star, to trigger a little scene. Another thing, go to the right top-most room
and speak to the girl in yellow dress to trigger another scene. Jade's one of
the best characters ever.
Stone 5: Go to Fon Machine Lab I at Belkend and in here, go N, N and E. In
this room, go down to the floor and check the NE side of the room. Check the SW
cabinet of the NE side to receive the stone.
Stone 6: At Kaitzur Naval Port. Just enter to trigger a scene and receive the
stone.
That's it for Jade right now, because the next stone is at the Radiation Gate,
and there's still more to play before we get that. But now, let's proceed with
what we were doing.
Proceed to trigger a little scene. Once it's over, open the chests to get
'Nectar Bottle' and 'Wing Bottle'. Now use Mieu Fire 2 to free the blue
Cheagle, then use the mirror to reflect Mieu Fire 2 and rescue the yellow
Cheagle. Continue your way and you'll see a mirror to your right. Use it to
bounce Mieu Fire 2 and release the Cheagle behind you. Proceed. You'll see two
mirrors at the entrance of this room. Use them to bounce Mieu Fire 2 and
release the Cheagle. Proceed.
At the fork, go N, release the Cheagle on the other side and continue to find
two chests containing 'Cowboy Hat' and 'Red Chamomile'. Save you game, return
to the fork and go W this time. After the little scene, you'll see three
mirrors and three power sources. You have to lit all three at the same time. So
start with the right most and lit it in such way that it bounces on the mirror,
lit the next one, bounce until it ends. Once it's done, the Cheagle will escape
and six Ogre Replicas will come out of the machine. Kill them if you want and
go to Cheagle Woods, speak to the Cheagle Elder to trigger a scene and receive
'Holy Seal' and 'Dark Seal'. Nice.
After all this, go to Engeve and speak to Rose to trigger a scene. Agree to
help her and speak to the guy Luke tried to steal from. He'll give you 'Gourmet
Apple', then speak to Rose again to trigger a scene and 7 consecutive fights.
They'll get from easy to easy. You'll receive afterwards 'Rose's Charm'.
>~~~<
Finally, when you're done with all those 17 paragraphs, let's continue with
the story, shall we? So just go to Mt. Roneal.

"Oh, I assure you. I'm crying on the inside.
Racked with guilt." -- Jade Curtiss
Once here, a scene triggers as you enter. Time to search for Mohs. Now's a
great time to start doing the Coliseum (for more info, check the respective
section). Anyway, whether you do it or not, that's up to you. Go to the port to
trigger a scene where Mohs escapes. Isn't the new Mohs disgusting? Now leave
the port and go to the Castle.
A scene triggers before you enter. OMG, Guy and Jade are awesome... hahaha ;).
Natalia also receives the title "Popular Princess". Time to go to Chesedonia,
so exit the castle to trigger another scene, where maybe the best line of the
game has place, which is the quote of this area. Now go to Chesedonia.
Go to Astor's Mansion to trigger a scene with the traveling Scorer. Fon Master
Mohs? Hahaha, don't make me laugh. Once he's gone, to speak to Astor to trigger
another scene. She mention Badaq, Largo's true name. I HATE Astor's laugh, Eh
hee hee hee (OMG... hahaha). Now go to the Inn at the N area of Chesedonia to
meet with Anise and Natalia. So anyway, leave Chesedonia and go to Yulia City.
Enter, watch the scene then exit Yulia City. We need to find an island moving
through the ocean. It may be directly S of you once you're at the World Map.
That's the Isle of Feres.

"Isn't that Natalia's job?... All right, whatever." -- Guy Cecil
I hate this dungeon. At the open area, open the chest N to get 'Pineapple
Gel'. Go W from here (ignore the stairs) and get 'Wing Bottle' and 'Rare
Guard' from the chests at the end. Return to the entrance and go E this time.
At the next area, go E, down the sloppy path and get 'Pineapple Gel' from the
chest. Return and go N to find two doors. Go through the upper door to be
locked inside. Kill the enemy to unlock the door.
Enter the N door, then go W to get 'Schwarzvogel'. Now go E, up the stairs and
go up the ladder to the W. Go down the rope ladder E of you and use Mieu Fire
to hit the lever. Cross the bridge and get 'Mythril Circlet' from the chest.
Return up the rope ladder, go W and activate the lever and form another bridge.
Get on the elevator at the end and go to the fifth floor to get 'Melange Gel'
from the lone chest.
Now go to the second floor, hit the switch to activate the bridge and enter
the door at the end. The door is locked again, so you know what to do. Kill
both set of enemies, the door unlocks and a ladder drops. Take it up and follow
the path until you get to a ladder. Take it down to trigger a scene. Once it's
over, feel free to save the game (it heals too).
Once you're ready, go W and instead of entering the door, use Mieu Wings to
reach the ladder, go up and follow the wooden bridge to the next area. Just
enter the door here, go up the stairs and enter the door to the left. Exit
through the S door and use Mieu Fire 2 on the statue to have it reflect the
Fire to the lever and make the bridge appear. Cross it to get 'Lebhaft',
reenter and return to the save point.
Enter the W house and open the chest on the right side to get 'Apple Gel'. Now
step on the middle and use Mieu Attack on the floor to make it break and drop
to the room below. Open the chest N of you to get 'Apple Gel', then open the
chest to the SW to get 'Rebirth Doll'. Use Mieu Attack on the floor again and
follow the S path, ignore the door and go up the stairs at the end.
Enter the first door S to get 'Magic Lens'. Return inside, go W and enter a
second door going S, hit the lever and cross the bridge to get 'Red Lavender'.
Return inside and take the NE door, then take the E door outside again. Follow
the path, go down the ladder and enter the E door, then exit through the S
exit. Use Mieu Fire 2 to reflect the Fire on the mirror and hit the lever.
Return inside, go down the stairs and go through the E door. Kill all the
enemies and exit through the S exit. Once outside, go SE to trigger a scene.
Once it's over, go E until you reach an area with some stairs to the W. Take
them up and enter the door, just to be locked again. You know the drill.
Afterwards, take the E exit, save your game and go upstairs to trigger a scene
with Arietta. Don't worry, you don't have to fight her.
Now enter the door Arietta was staring at and go up the stairs to trigger a
scene and then, an animated cutscene. When you regain control, reenter the
house , go up two sets of stairs, then go up the ladder at the E side and get
'Persian Boots' from the W side and 'Hourglass' from the top of the ladder. Now
go out the building. You'll see a sword stuck in the floor in middle of the
area. That's Sword Dancer #3. I recommend saving before going at him.
------------------------------
OPTIONAL BOSS: SWORD DANCER #3
------------------------------
- Strategy: OMG... he's pathetic. Really. If you compare him with the Sword
Dancer #3 of Tales of Symphonia, he's just a breeze. He has the same attacks,
same everything, so I'll just copy and paste the previous strategy. Please,
don't forget to steal the Sunlight Chamber from him, as it's extremely rare.
He has his Overlimit. When goes in Overlimit mode, open the battle menu and
press L1 until the 'On your guard!' Strat appears. This way, you characters
will be away from Sword Dancer while he's in Overlimit. When his Overlimit is
over, just return to your normal Strat. Just like the previous battle with him,
deactivate all of Jade's Artes and leave him with his high level artes. Also
with Tear, deactivate everything she has, except for Healing Circle, Revitalize
and Resurrection. Use your Mystic Artes; Luke's Radiant Howl, Guy's Rising
Phoenix.
------------------------------
After the battle, you'll receive 'Ultimatus', which is inferior to Soul Crush
(weapon won at the Coliseum). Return to the save point and use a Wing Bottle to
get the hell out of Feres. Before leaving, from the entrance go W, up the
stairs, then up the ladder and across the bridge to get 'Sunlight Chamber' from
the chest. Now finally exit the Isle of Feres.
Now try entering Eldrant (The New Hod) to trigger a scene. Afterwards, go to
Grand Chokmah. Go to the room where you spoke to Sesemann (when we started the
side quest for Jade's Fonic Artes and you received the Ancient Scroll), but
you'll be greeted by Nordheim at the entrance. Once the scene is over, go talk
to Peony, but a scene kicks in before arriving at the palace.
Once the crazy ass scene is over, go speak to Peony. Now exit the palace to
trigger a scene with Largo, telling you that the fight with Arietta will take
place in Cheagle Woods (how the hell did he get from Eldrant to Grand Chokmah
in such a short time?) So go there... save before entering, and make sure
someone has the ability to steal.

- F.DEF: 853 / 1,279 / 1,706 / 2,985
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: Fire
- Strong: Water
- Strategy: Like the new outfit Arietta is wearing? She looks cutter that way,
don't you think? Anyway, start by stealing Arietta's Rare Genius, an accessory
for Anise. Once you've done that, start by killing Arietta, because her support
artes, as well as her Negative Gate are annoying. She's just like the battle at
Choral Castle, the same strategy. Once she's out, go for Liger, because he's
fast as ****, maybe being more annoying than Arietta. Once he's gone, remember
to take the bird out (just who came with the idea for its name?). This is an
easy battle, remember to use you're Mystic Artes as soon as the bar fills.
She also uses her Mystic Arte, Big Bang, in every difficulty, and a good way
to defend against it is using Guardian.
-----------------------------
Watch the very sad scene after the battle. Anise receives the title "Last Fon
Master Guardian"; use the healing save point before leaving Cheagle Woods. Now
go to Yulia City.
Asch joins the party, like for 2 minutes... hahaha. When you regain control,
go to Susanne's room to trigger a scene. Just what is Luke thinking? Asch
leaves the party after the scene. Told ya! Now exit Baticul to trigger a scene
before you're able to exit. Asch plans to commit suicide with all the replicas.
Time to go to the Tower of Rem, which is the large island at the SE of the
World Map. You'll see a large tower on the W side of the island. Save before
entering.

"... I suppose this is my fault for having let you live this long.
Goodbye, Saphir." -- Jade Curtiss
Go N and enter the tower itself to trigger a scene with the Dark Wings. Since
the elevator is a nope, we need to go up the stairs. When you regain control,
start going up the stairs to the W. Get 'Melange Gel' when you get to the
chest. Keep going up until a scene kicks in with the remaining members of the
Dark Wings, York and Urushi. Now get 'Schwarzloewe' from the chest behind the
Dark Wings.
As you proceed to the top, get 'Scildecido' and 'Elder Robe'. A scene triggers
as you approach the end of the stairs. Now go W, get 'Grass Chamber' and enter
the lift.
You'll see all enemies with blue orbs in their body. Activate the handle to
the left to open the doors at the sides. Now go up the ladder to the right,
then go E and go down the last ladder. Get 'Lottery Gel' and use the handle to
the E to open the doors at both sides. From here, go all the way E, try
operating the handle, go up the ladder and get 'Red Chamomile'. Go down again,
go to where the lift is, go W from there and operate the handle. This will open
barrier 3.
Now use Mieu Wings on the ladder left of you, go up and get 'Pineapple Gel',
'Ancient Ribbon' and 'Rebirth Doll'. Go down, then W and ride the lift up. Move
along the path and a scene will kick in. Afterwards, examine the thingy moving
around to get 'Rem Capacitor'. What we need to do is to is use it in battle,
finish it to receive the energy. There's also an enemy with a red core. If you
kill only this one, you're ready to go. But it's tricky, because he moves so
fast.
From where you are, go E and use the handle to close Barrier 3. The only thing
left to do it to chase down the red-core enemy, kill it, use the Barrier 3
handle and go to where you get the Rem Capacitor, BUT save before doing
anything because there's a Boss Battle in like 3 min.
Watch the scene, get 'Longinus' stuck in the floor and jump on the elevator.
Watch another scene and then time to fight Dist.
--------------------
BOSS: KAISER DIST XX
--------------------
- Strategy: Same old Dist. Use the same tactics as before. The only difference
is that it's not weak against Water anymore, but anything more, no.

"You bastard! You're going to tell Luke to die in Asch's place?!" -- Guy Cecil
Once here, go to the Chapel to trigger a scene with Peony, Ingobert and
Teodoro. Once it's done, enter the main room and speak to Natalia and Guy who
are at the S side of the room, if you want. Now enter the SW room and talk to
Tear at the N side of the room. This scene just shows how much Tear loves Luke.
Also, Guy receives the title "Best Friend". Now exit Daath and go to the Tower
of Rem.
Take the lift to the top to trigger the scene I've been waiting for for the
whole game. One of my favorite scenes in all the game. You'll obtain 'Jewel of
Lorelei' at the end. You'll be at Belkend automatically. Poor Luke... he
thought that he survived and now... this. That's pretty f***ed up, don't you
think? Jade also receives the title "Insightful One".
Before going to Baticul, let's do some things first. Start by going to Daath
and to Ion's room to trigger a scene. What the...? I'm just like Luke. Tear
then learns "Judgment". Now go to the Tower of Rem. Go inside to find Cecille
(she'll only be here if you've been doing the Cecille and Frings event). Guy
will receive the costume title "Dashing Gent" (nice ;).

You'll be here after doing the event of Cecille. From here, go to the castle
to trigger a scene. Poor Tear... Anyway, go to the Drawing Room to trigger a
rather long scene. When you regain control, go to the port to trigger yet
another scene. Now go to the Fabre Manor and speak to Ramdas to trigger a scene
and Luke will receive the costume title "Viscount".
Return to Teodoro to trigger yet another scene. Now go to the Absorption Gate
(where you fought Van decades ago).

"Farewell... Meryl..." -- Largo the Black Lion
As you enter the main room, go NE (this is where the red flame was the first
time we were here)and check the score. We'll need a Red, Blue and Yellow
Fonons. So follow the W path for the Blue Fonon, the E path for the Red Fonon
and the SE path for the Yellow Fonon. Return to the NE score and place the
fonons in the correct order. Now take the lift downwards and get 'Red Savory'
and 'Ballacido'. Also get the Green Fonons and return to the central score.
Now go NW (this is where the blue flame was the first time we were here) and
check the score at the end. We'll need a Green Fonon, as well as a Blue and Red
one. Follow the W path for the Blue Fonon and the E path for the Red Fonon.
Return to the NW score and place the fonons in the correct order. Now take the
lift downwards and get 'Carmine Chamber' and 'Cobalt Chamber'.
Return and go all the way to where you fought Van (ignore all the white
gates). Enter the second last gate, follow it to the exit and continue
downwards. Use the healing save point and continue all the way to the bottom.
Save before going to the place where you fought Van.
There's a scene as you enter this room. Remember Arietta's new white outfit?
Well, everyone has a new one, befitting the New Order of Lorelei. And someone
very dear to everyone (uh huh...) returns... guess who that is.

Artes and Mystic Artes like there's no tomorrow. Just make sure either Tear or
Natalia (or both) heal all the time, while Jade is casting high level Fonic
Artes.
-----------
Watch the scene after the battle. When you regain control, go W and go down
the spiral path to the bottom to trigger a scene. I think Luke's high... hahaha
;p. Thank goodness, you get out automatically. Now exit the Absorption Gate to
trigger a scene with Mohs, Van and the rest of the God-Generals. Time to go to
Daath, so go there.
Once here, go to the Cathedral to trigger a scene where the replica of Ion is
named Florian by Anise. Now exit Daath and go to the Radiation Gate, which is N
of the Absorption gate.

"Let's end it. Even he doesn't deserve this!" -- Luke fon Fabre
Once you enter, go W and go down the large bone path. On the next area, Go W
when possible and enter the hole. Open the chest to get 'Red Saffron'. Keep
going down, just a little bit and go W to find another path. Get 'Star Rod' and
break the N wall with Mieu Attack, then enter. Go E out here, then S and use
Mieu Wings at the end of the path. On the top, go W and get 'Lunatito' (one of
the best CC out there, raising all stats at the same time). Go down and return
to the main path.
When you get to a fork, go S, break the wall and go outside. From here, go all
the way E and get 'Treat' from the chest. You'll also see two air currents in
between the entrance and the chest. Use Mieu Wings on the left air current and
get 'Sunlight Chamber'. Now return to the main area and go E at the fork to get
to the Passage Ring and trigger a scene.
When you regain control, go to the back of the Passage Ring to get 'Elder
Cloak' and 'Cobalt Chamber'. Now follow the spiral path downwards until a scene
kicks in. Afterwards, save your game, go to the bottom and prepare for a Boss
Battle!

BOSS: GIGANT MOHS
-----------------
- Strategy: OMG, Mohs is pathetic. Just take a look at his P.DEF. It's under
500. Just attack him with Luke and Guy until you've discharged all your anger
you have towards him. Jade will make a good support, casting his high level
Fonic Artes and creating complete FoF. He really isn't that hard. Tear, as
always, must heal the party, but she may be attacking Mohs more that healing
the party. He also is weak to light, so many of Tear's artes are very
effective, especially Grand Cross.
-----------------
Watch the scene and it's finally time to go to Eldrant. Time to go to Grand
Chokmah.
Once here at Grand Chokmah, a scene kicks in as you enter. Finally, this guide
is coming to an end, so go to Chesedonia.

"Okay. Everyone, we're going to protect our world!" -- Luke fon Fabre
Go to the third area (where all the shops are) and buy a Striped Ribbon from
the guy at the E (where the entrance to Ant Lion Man is), then go to Ant Lion
Man and give him the Striped Ribbon, Beef and Chicken. You'll receive 'Holy
Ring' and 'Spirit Ring'. Speak to him again to trigger a scene him and Astor.
You'll learn the recipe "Gratin".
Time to do a lot of stuff before continuing with the last bit of the story.
Please skip to where you see the >~~~< if you don't want to do this.
Stone 7: Go to the Radiation Gate to trigger a scene and get the stone. Jade
will learn how to cast "Prism Sword"... pretty damn nice ;).
*Stone 8: Go to Daath and then to Ion's Chambers. You'll see Florian running
through the Cathedral, holding a Catalyst Weapon. So go to where the five
glyphs are and use the SE one and speak to Florian to trigger another scene and
receive 'Heart of Chaos'. Now go to the main hall of the Cathedral to trigger
yet another scene where Anise gets her costume title "Little Devil". Now go to
Ion's room and speak to Florian to get the recipe "Stew". Return to Ion's room
and speak to Florian again to trigger another scene and finally get that damned
stone.
Stone 9: Go to Yulia City, at the main building. Check the NE side of the
first floor to find the stone.
Stone 10: The last stone is at Fubras River. Enter from the N entrance to
trigger a scene and Jade will learn the most powerful fonic arte in the game,
"Meteor Storm".
* As a side note, getting the Catalyst Weapon, Anise's title, the recipe and
the stone are 4 different events.
Return to Daath and go to the library area that is just before the entrance to
Mt. Zaleho. Speak to the person in green at the N side of the room. He has
another of Van's books. You know what to do. Go to Luke's manor and speak to
Ramdas to trigger a scene and Luke receives the costume title "Viscount". Go to
the manor and speak to Ramdas again to trigger another scene and learn the
recipe "Miso Stew". Now go see Luke's mom, she'll give you the money, return to
Daath and buy the book for Luke to learn "Sonic Blast".
>~~~<
Now go to the middle section of Chesedonia and speak to either General and
tell him that you're prepared.
After some scenes and animated cut scenes, you'll arrive at Eldrant

"Humph... No time left... I'm going to disappear soon..." -- Asch the Bloody
--------------
BOSS: LEGRETTA
--------------
- Name: Legretta
- Location: Eldrant
- HP: 143,000 / 214,500 / 286,000 / 500,500
- XP: 28,000
- P.ATK: 738 / 1,107 / 1,476 / 2,583
- P.DEF: 1,081 / 1,621 / 2,162 / 3,783
- F.ATK: 424 / 636 / 848 / 1,484
- F.DEF: 782 / 1,173 / 1,564 / 2,737
- Gald: 36,000
- Items dropped: Spirit Symbol
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: Light
- Strategy: She has some attacks Tear has; like Eclair de Larmes, Holy Lance,
etc. She's not as hard as she looks. She also has some Arcane Arts, as well as
her Mystic Arte. She also has Blessed Drops, which is weird to me. Have Tear
heal during the whole battle as for Jade, make him cast Absolute and Meteor
Storm. She has lower F.DEF than P.DEF (like most bosses), so Jade is a YES to
bring, as well as Guy, Luke and Tear. You need speed in this battle, because
Legretta is quick, so you need to be stepping her toes during the whole battle.
--------------
Watch the scene where Legretta dies (yep, that's the fifth God-General... only
one more). When you regain control, go down the stairs, then W to see a chest
with 'Fonic Lance'. Now go E, down the next set of stairs and get 'Cobalt
Chamber'. Return upstairs and go E to reach the next area.
Follow the long walkway until you get to the next area, getting 'Fonic Robe'
in the way. Once here, go down the stairs and get 'Fonic Rod', return upstairs,
save your game, and proceed to the next area. Follow the path and go down the
stairs to trigger a scene. Afterwards, time to fight Asch.
----------
BOSS: ASCH
----------
- Name: Asch
- Location: Eldrant
- HP: 60,000 / 90,000 / 120,000 / 210,000
- XP: 31,000
- P.ATK: 584 / 876 / 1,168 / 2,044
- P.DEF: 697 / 1,045 / 1,394 / 2,439
- F.ATK: 353 / 529 / 706 / 1,235
- F.DEF: 429 / 643 / 858 / 1,501
- Gald: 2,500
- Items dropped: Wonder Symbol
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Remember the past battle with Asch? Remember the strategy? It's
really quite simple. Start Free Running through the field, having Asch follow
you. When he uses an Arte (he has Havoc Strike, Raging Blast, Rending Thrust
for Base Artes; and Fang Blade Rage, Light Spear Cannon, Swallow Fury, for
Arcane Artes), he'll miss, so return and combo him with physical attacks +
Rending Thrust + Light Spear Cannon (these are so you don't miss, and you'll be
able to move right after Light Spear Cannon). Keep following this strategy
until the battle is over. If you need to heal, use either an Apple Gel and/or a
Lemon Gel. Same goes for TP, which I doubt you'll finish it.
----------
Watch the scene after the battle. You'll receive during the scene 'Incomplete
Key of Lorelei'. When you regain control, before going further, take the path
the rest of the team used to get here and get 'Fonic Mace' from the upper W
side of the area and 'Fonic Mail' from the bottom E side.
Return to the room where you regained control, go up the W stairs, then go E
at the top to find 'Fonic Guard'. Now go W to reach another outer area. Get
'Fonic Blade' and go up half million stairs to the top. Get 'Fonic Helm' and go
E to reach another area.
Watch the little scene, keep going until you get to some houses in ruin. When
you get to the floor, get 'Fonic Arrow' from the chest. Now go W to find a
healing save point. Use it and from the save point, go N and at the middle of
the road, go E to find a hidden chest with 'Fonic Bracelet' in it. Now go N a
bit more to trigger a scene and Tear receives the title "Fonic Hymn Master".
Now go to the remains of Guy's manor and get 'Fonic Hat' from the chest there.
Return to the road and go up the stairs to the N. Once on top, go SE and follow
the bridge-like path and at the blue room, before going up, go E for 'Fonic
Crest'. Now go up and follow the path to find 'Special Gel', then return to the
save point.
Save your game, make preparations for a Boss Battle and go all the way N to
trigger a really sad scene and an animated cutscene; and then fight Sync.
----------
BOSS: SYNC
----------
- Name: Sync
- Location: Eldrant
- HP: 120,000 / 180,000 / 240,000 / 420,000
- XP: 29,800
- P.ATK: 999 / 1,498 / 1,998 / 3,496
- P.DEF: 885 / 1,327 / 1,770 / 3,097
- F.ATK: 500 / 750 / 1,000 / 1,750
- F.DEF: 620 / 930 / 1,240 / 2,150
- Gald: 15,000
- Items dropped: Mystic Symbol
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: Wind, Light
- Strategy: What to do... these God General battles are all the same.
Seriously, this battle with Sync is the same as the battle with him at the
Core. Really... he has the same attacks, plus Thunder Blade, Frigid Coffin.
Flare Tornado and Ground Dasher. Also his Mystic Arte is as deadly as ever.
----------
After the battle, watch the scene. His death was the most stupid one. It's
about time someone slapped Natalia... you'll also receive 'Key of Lorelei' and
Luke receives the title "Swordsman of Lorelei". When you regain control, go
down the SW stairs and follow the path to get 'Red Sage'.
Return to where you fought Sync, go N and enter the building. Follow the path,
go up the stairs and use Mieu Fire 2 on the blue orb to the S. This will reveal
a chest. Go open it to get 'Grandioz' (another great Capacity Core). Return
upstairs, go to the NE corner, turn the block to reveal a mirror-like thing
under a blue orb. Reflect Mieu Fire 2 on the mirror and hit the blue orb to
turn it red. Now go W (not up the stairs) and get 'Fonic Cloak' from the chest
guarded by the High Knight Replica. Now go up the stairs and enter the next
area.
At the bottom, you'll see two pillars with a glyph in the centre of it. Hit
the lower one from the bottom and the top one from the right. Now climb the
ladder at the N side of the room. Once at the top, use Mieu Wings under the orb
to make a chest appear, containing 'Special Gel'. Return downstairs and go in
the door.
Now please... the following is totally optional (just like Vinheim in Tales of
Symphonia). So if you don't want to do it, skip to where you see <~~~>.
There are two enemies here called Guardian. What you need to do if kill one
with a Light-based Arte (like Eclair de Larmes, Grand Cross, Holy Lance, Prism
Sword) and another one with a Darkness-based Arte (Negative Gate, Bloody
Howling, Nightmare). You'll receive 'Light Fonstone' and 'Shadow Fonstone'
respectively.
Now examine what looks like a Passage Ring and use the Light Fonstone. The
room will turn... great. Now go S and go to the next area. Ignore the switch
you're shown in the scene and go E to find two ladders. Take the left one up
and hit the orb with Mieu Wings to open a door. Return downstairs and take the
long ladder on the right and step on the switch, then go S.
Out here, get 'Fonic Sword' from the lone chest. Return inside and step on the
switch to make the palace turn around once again. Return to where we got in
here the first time and step on the switch I told you not to step on a little
while ago. This will make the room go to normal, so go up the N ladder and
enter the door.
You'll be at the Passage Ring room, but on a second level. Follow the path to
the SE, enter the door and get 'Fonic Gloves'. Return to the previous room and
go to the Passage Ring on this floor (it has a light crystal). Use the Shadow
Fonstone to make to room turn again. Now exit through the S exit.
There are two mirrors at the W side of the room. Turn both of them so they're
facing each other. Now step on the switch to return the room to normal. Go up
the stairs to the top and step on the purple glyph, then use Mieu Fire 2
towards the mirrors, BUT, you only need to hit one... what to do? Well, use
Mieu Fire 2, quickly change to Mieu Wings and start floating so that Mieu Fire
2 hits the first orb and hits the character's face.
Now go to the door that opened at the bottom to find a beautiful garden.
You'll find the grave of *****. When you regain control, examine the grave to
receive 'Unicorn Horn'. We finally have all the Catalyst Weapons, so just watch
the scene afterwards. Then, check the left side of the garden to find a chest
with 'Treat'. Return to the room where the Passage Rings are and go up either
the W or E stairs to find a healing save point.
Beyond the large staircase is Van waiting for you... approach it to trigger a
scene, then save your game.
--> Now you may return to Auldrant and do, from the Sidequest section of the
Guide [s100-0] (without the "-"), the following stuff:
- Return to Baticul and obtain the weapons and titles for everyone. Also, you
might participate in the Cameo battle against Reid (ToE), Mint (ToP), Nanaly
(ToD2) and Philia (ToD).
- Obtain some costumes.
- Finish the Catalyst Weapons and obtain the best weapons in the game.
- Once finished with the Catalyst Weapons Sidequest, obtain the last scene of
the Contamination Effect.
- If you still haven't killed Sword Dancer #3 back at Isle of Feres, now is
your time to do it.
- Complete the Collector's Book (only if on 2nd playthrough or further)
- Obtain some titles.
- Obtain the Jewel of Gardios back at Baticul.
- Do the Replica Lab secret dungeon (only if on 2nd playthrough or further)
- Buy Van's books if you haven't already.
- Etc., Etc., Etc...
<~~~>
Now go up the large staircase to enter the final area of the game.

- Strategy: He has Arcane Arts, such as Guardian Front, Radiant Dragon, Shining
Blade. He also has Fonic Artes like Ground Dasher, Negative Gate, Holy Lance.
He's pretty much like the previous battle with him at the Absorption Gate, only
a bit stronger this time. Combo him normally like you would to any other boss
and after you've taken 50% of his HP, a scene will trigger and the battle will
continue. This time, he'll be spamming Arcane Artes, as well as Mystic Artes
like crazy. He uses his new Mystic Arte, Celestial Elegy, as well as his well
known Imperial Slaughter.

- Strategy: He has a new Mystic Arte in this new form, Ancient Requiem... which
is an instant KO to anyone who receives it. He also changed his Radiant Dragon
with Shining Dragon. He also has Judgment, which may kill more than 1 party
members. Try to keep your distance and attack whenever you see a chance. It's
pretty much the same battle as before, only a bit stronger. After you've taken
all of his HP away, a scene triggers, and you'll be fighting Van again, only
that you nor him nor any party members will receive any dmg. You only have to
wait until Tear finishes singing all seven Fonic Hymns and Luke uses Radiant
Howl to finish the battle.

This is the end of this wonderful game. So, go make some popcorn (I went and go
grab milk and cereal ;p) and enjoy the ending!

own, unique Mystic Artes, but I won't list them here, just because there's not
much info out there.

=-=-=-=- 7.2] FSC Changes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----- -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
All FSC Changes to Artes are listed here, included the Secret Artes, so have
fun. Also, you'll that under each Arte is a chain-like with circles...
something like this:
Fang Blade
(=-O-+-O-+-O-+-O-+-O-=)
Each circle has a percentage for the FSC effect to trigger its effect, and the
number of times you have to use the Arte in order to fill the circle are the

Looking for a particular Boss? You'll find all the bosses of the game here,
except for the Sword Dancers, Nebilim and the bosses at The Replica Lab the
Abyss, because each of them have their own section (well, a subsection in the
Sidequest section). This is rather convenient in case you just opened this
guide looking for a Boss, you don't have to scroll down looking in the whole
guide for that Boss.
-----------------
BOSS: LIGER QUEEN
-----------------
- Strategy: There really isn't much to say about this battle. She may have a
lot of HP, but you don't need to damage her that much. Just attack her normally
(3 attacks + Fang Blade) and you'll be dealing 190+ dmg. plus Tear's Nightmare
will deal some more dmg. After every combo, start Free Running around, avoiding
her attacks, then attacking again. After taking 25-50% of its HP, the amazingly
strong Jade Curtiss shows in the battlefield to kick the Queen's ass. He has
Blessed Drops, which rocks and might kill her with just one of those.
-----------------
-----------------------------
BOSS: ARIETTA/LIGER/HRESVELGR
-----------------------------
a) Arietta
- Location: Choral Castle
- HP: 3,000 / 4,500 / 6,000 / 10,500
- P.ATK: 98 / 147 / 196 / 343
- P.DEF: 263 / 394 / 526 / 920
- F.ATK: 111 / 166 / 222 / 388
- F.DEF: 235 / 352 / 470 / 822
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
b) Liger
- Location: Choral Castle
- HP: 3,700 / 5,550 / 7,400 / 12,950
- P.ATK: 148 / 222 / 296 / 518
- P.DEF: 228 / 342 / 456 / 798
- F.ATK: 101 / 151 / 202 / 353
- F.DEF: 167 / 250 / 334 / 584
- Items dropped: None
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: Wind
c) Hresvelgr
- Location: Choral Castle
- HP: 3,500 / 5,250 / 7,000 / 12,250
- P.ATK: 135 / 202 / 270 / 472
- P.DEF: 236 / 354 / 472 / 826
- F.ATK: 99 / 148 / 198 / 346
- F.DEF: 172 / 258 / 344 / 602
- Items dropped: None
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: Fire
- Strong: Water
- Strategy: First of all, focus all of your attacks on Arietta, because she's
the magic user of the group. Beware, though that she and Liger can enter
Overlimit. When she does that, Free Run around the field or try attacking Liger
until her Overlimit wears off. She has spells like Limited and Negative Gale.
If these leave a FoF, use them, you can use Water FoF and Earth FoF when you
see a Darkness FoF; just like Fire FoF and Wind FoF with a Light FoF. Once
she's down, I really recommend taking Liger out, since he's the fastest of the
group and has an attack similar to Lightning Tiger Blade. Once Liger is down,
take down that bird (what a strange name).It may be a tough battle, but I did
just fine with a party of Luke 12, Tear 12, Jade 12 and Guy 12.
You'll receive 760 XP, 1,300 Gald and, Savory and Apple Gel.
-----------------------------
-------------------
BOSS: Kaiser Dist R
-------------------
- Strategy: Although he has 19,000 HP, it goes down in an eye blink. Deactivate
everything on Jade, except for Splash. Put Jade's Splash in a shortcut and make
him cast it over and over. Tear will be healing all the battle, so we don't
have to worry about that. Guy and Luke will physically attack Kaiser. Whenever
you can, use the FoF, especially Water FoF, so that Luke can use Frigid Blast,
dealing massive dmg.
-------------------

BOSS: ABADDON

- Strategy: This monster is nasty. Jade is very good here, using Splash all the
battle, because of Abaddon's lower F. DEF. Have Tear or Natalia cure during the
whole while Luke and Guy attack him physically. Abaddon's Negative Gale and
Jade's Splash will create several FoF. Use them well as they deal some extra
and pretty dmg. He also has an attack in which you takes out some little
spiders out of his ass to attack you, but these run in a straight line, and
Free Run is your friend here. There may be a few casualties, but nothing that a
Life Bottle can't handle, eh?

- F.DEF: 100 / 150 / 200 / 350
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Ok, go after Sync first, because he's the quick (and I mean QUICK)
and has the lowest HP. Beware of his Arcane Arte, Stone Dragon Ascent. Before
you even know it, he'll be gone. As for Largo, he is a stronger fellow, and
with his Arcane Arte, Raving Thunder, it deals 500+ dmg. Have Tear heal all the
time, while Jade is casting during the whole battle. Use any FoF that appear on
battle, specially use this because Sync's Artes Thunder Blade and Turbulence
will create several FoF. Luke and Guy will be good distraction for Sync and
Largo, while Jade and Tear are casting.
You'll receive 1,600 XP, 2,400 Gald and, Grass Chamber, Verbana and Garnet.

- Elemental Info.:

- Strategy: This chick is hard as f***. And I mean it. Watch out for her
combos, which can do 300+ dmg. She also has spells like Eclair de Larmes and
Holy Lance which can do 700+ dmg. A good thing is to have Jade and make him
cast Artes all the battle, since she has less F.DEF than P.DEF. Also, like all
battles, make Tear heal during the whole battle, turning off all of her Artes,
except for Healing Circle and First Aid. Luke and Guy are good distractions,
but not only that, but she's easy to stagger, so go ahead and attack her with
all you've got. Also when she has her Overlimit on, just Free Run through the
whole battlefield until it's gone. Heal yourself if your HP is below 400.

- Strategy: Ok, this battle doesn't have to be won, but if you want, keep
reading (hey, this battle keeps reminding me of the battle with Kratos at the
Tower of Salvation in ToS). I'll make this fast. There's a good strategy to use
here, which is run and hit. Yes, you heard me right. Start Free Running around
and when Asch comes near you, and he'll start attacking you from behind, but
since you keep Free Running, he won't touch you (I hope so). If he uses Havoc
Strike or Raging Blast, return to him and unleash (this is what I used) a 3 hit
combo + Demon Fist + Fang Blade Rage. You'll deal 1,400+ dmg by doing so. Rinse
and repeat. But read this, try at all cost to avoid his attacks, since they'll
be dealing 350+ dmg. each hit. Yes, and he'll attack you 3 times (just like
Luke). Ok, that's how you can defeat him. As a side note, if you're above Lv.
30 and use a Mystic Arte on him, he'll just counter it with his own.

- Gald: 100
- Items dropped: None
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: This battle is not that hard (compared to the one we just had with
Asch a while ago). He has an attack of bubbles. Each bubble that explodes in
your face leaves a small Water FoF. Use these to your advantage using Raging
Blast and converting it in Frigid Blast. The Polyps are weak and give an extra
XP and Gald. When the calamari goes in its shell, use this time to heal or do
whatever you need to do. Anyway, easy fight. And as you could see, there's
really nothing more to say about this fight...
-----------------------
--------------------
BOSS: KAISER DIST RX
--------------------
- Strategy: Before anything, deactivate every arte on Jade except for Splash.
He'll be using it quite a bit, so a lot of Water FoF will appear. Use these to
perform Guardian Frosts. One of these should deal 1,300+ dmg. Also use your
Mystic Artes anytime you can, dealing even massive dmg. to Kaiser. Also, his
main attacks are directed in front of him, so, if you can, go to its back and
start combo-ing him from the back. There's really not much to say, he's the
same as in the Ferry, only much stronger, so just use the previous strategy you
used on him and you'll win.

- Gald: 10,000
- Items dropped: Resist Ring
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: The last enemy was Dist's toy, and that was long ago. I recommend
bringing Anise instead of guy, because of her magic. Deactivate all her Fonic
Artes, except for Negative Gate and Limited. Have her use that all the battle,
and Jade use Ground Dasher. Every time Jade uses Ground Dasher, a complete
Earth FoF appears, so use Rending Thrust to make go use to it. Also, whenever
you can, use your Overlimit, as well as your allies. To perform Jade's Mystic
Arte, you need to cast a High Level Fonic Arte (Ground Dasher) to unleash his
Mystic Arte, Mystic Cage. As for Tear, while in Overlimit, you need to sing a
Hymn. Anyway, since its P.DEF is higher than its F.DEF, Jade and Anise are the
main damagers, while Luke is for support, as well as attacking.

OPTIONAL BOSS: BEHEMOTH

- F.DEF: 475
- Gald: 22,000
- Items dropped: Golden Helm, Red Basil
- Steal: Red Basil
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: OMG, this enemy has a lot of HP, and it won't go down easily.
Physical attacks are your best bets here, so bringing Luke and Guy in this
fight is good. Also bring Tear for the healing, and Jade to help you with his
magic. Beware of its attacks, though. He has an attacks that guard breaks you
if it hits (looks like a stampede) and a flame breath that deals 4 hits of 700+
dmg. each.
Same as the other battles, when Behemoth goes in Overlimit, put the "On your
guard!" Strat until the Overlimit wears off. Also Free Run to keep your other
characters safe from danger. Also your Mystic Arte work really good here. He's
like most previous bosses, but only with higher P.ATK. Also use some Lemon Gels
and Pineapple Gels that you should have. Also, if you have Specifics, don't be
afraid to use them.

- Gald: 15,000
- Items dropped: Protect Ring, Saffron
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: Darkness
- Strong: Wind, Light
- Strategy: To start, deactivate all Light and Wind-based Artes. Bringing Anise
instead of Guy is a very good idea, so you can use her Negative Gate and take
chunks of HP. Using Mystic Artes is one of the best things you can do. They all
deal very good dmg. There really isn't much to say. If you beat Behemoth
before, then you'll have no problems at all against this majestic monster.

BOSS: SYNC

- F.DEF: 462
- Gald: 16,000
- Items dropped: Spirit Ring
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Ok, Sync is harder this time, but manageable. He has some powerful
attacks, and a lot of HP. His Arcane Artes are something to be afraid of. Both
Cyclone Blaze and Stone Dragon Ascent are so powerful that might put in
critical any character it hits. He uses these a lot when his HP gets below 50%,
so save your Mystic Artes when the tough part begins. Once at this point, he'll
start using his Arcane Artes, as well as his Mystic Arte, the Akashic Torment.
At this point, start using all your Mystic Artes like crazy until he dies.
Bringing Tear with you, as well as Jade is, maybe, the best decision you could
do. Tear, well, what she does best, heal the party and Jade, for his Ground
Dasher and Blessed Drops, creating FoF of Earth and Water, so you can use
Guardian Frost and Rending Quake.
----------
-------------------
BOSS: REPAIR FONBOT
-------------------
- Strategy: This enemy is rather easy. He has a very wide normal attack that
hits several times. Also, if you completed the entrances, then he'll only have
his Flame Burst and Explosion Fonic Arte. Not much to say for this battle. You
might as well put the game a little harder just to have some challenge from it.
Also use your Mystic Artes as soon as you can.

- F.ATK: 336
- F.DEF: 348
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: Earth, Fire
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Ok, maybe the hardest battle in the game (at least for me it was).
Disable all of Tear's Artes, except for Revitalize. As for Jade, everything
except for Blessing Drops. First of all, focus your attacks on Legretta, since
she's the hardest, the quickest, the everything. Once she's gone, the rest of
the battle is a hell lot easier. Take Arietta next, because of her magic, and
just because she's annoying. And last but not least, take Largo down. Largo
alone isn't hard at all. What makes this battle hard are, mainly Legretta and
Arietta. Don't forget to steal Arietta's Time Traveling Girl, which is a doll
for Anise. In hard mode, these three use their Mystic Artes, giving you a lot
more difficulty. But don't worry, in normal, they don't use them.
You'll receive after the battle... 13,500 XP, 24,000 Gald and Sapphire ring,
Red Sage, Mystic Mark, Red Lavender and Reflect Ring.

BOSS: VAN

- Name: Van
- Location: Absorption Gate
- HP: 132,000 / 198,000

- P.DEF: 700 / 1050
- F.ATK: 386 / 579
- F.DEF: 561 / 841
- Gald: 30,000
- Items dropped: Force Ring
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Ok, the third best fight in the game. Make sure you bring Jade and
Tear in this fight, as we'll be needing healing like never before and Jade's
magic every second. Since Van was Luke's sensei, he has a lot of Luke's
attacks. Base artes, like Raging Blast; Arcane artes like Lightning Tiger
Blade, Guardian Frost and Radiant Dragon. He also has high level Fonic Artes,
like Jade's Ground Dasher and Infernal Prison. He also has his damn Mystic
Arte, Imperial Slaughter, which will kill anyone who receives the attack, even
with high HP.
Put everyone's TP usage to 100%, and make them use the Overlimit whenever they
can. Also, disable all of Tear's artes, except for Healing Circle, Revitalize
and Resurrection; as for Jade, disable all of his artes except for Ground
Dasher, Blessed Drops, Infernal Prison and Thunder Blade. And for Guy, if
you're bringing him (I really recommend you bring him), don't disable anything.
When Van reaches 75,000 HP, he'll start using Arcane artes like if there would
be no tomorrow. He'll also going in Overlimit and start using his Imperial
Slaughter at the end of the Overlimit. When he goes in Overlimit, open the menu
(/\ button) and press L1 until the "On your guard!" strategy appears. This will
make your character to get out of Van's way, so make him follow you and only
you, and try to escape his Mystic arte, because it'll kill you.
Have Jade use his artes during all the battle and Tear using Revitalize and
Healing Circle. If anyone dies, try reviving him/her with a Life Bottle, so
Tear doesn't spend her TP. This is one of the toughest battles in the game, you
may have to reset a couple times, but it's a while since I want to kick Van's
ass. He has an attack called Shining Blade... if anybody knows whether it's a
base arte or an arcane arte, please let me know.
---------
---------------
BOSS: FYR BRONC
---------------
- Strategy: Ok, it may be a dragon, but he's easy. Turn off all of Jade's artes
except for Blessed Drops. Since Fyr is weak to Water, Blessed Drops is going to
be devastating. Also, start spamming Guardian Frosts like crazy, or if you're
using Guy, Frigid Moons like if there's no tomorrow. Have Tear heal all the
battle and replenish her TP with Pineapple Gels when needed. It has lower F.DEF
than P.DEF, so Jade's Blessed Drops will be the main source of dmg. As for his
attacks, they may be dealing 400-550 dmg. That's pretty high, but he's slow, so
an Apple/Lemon Gel can fix it.

- F.DEF: 853 / 1,279 / 1,706 / 2,985
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: Fire
- Strong: Water
- Strategy: Like the new outfit Arietta is wearing? She looks cutter that way,
don't you think? Anyway, start by stealing Arietta's Rare Genius, an accessory
for Anise. Once you've done that, start by killing Arietta, because her support
artes, as well as her Negative Gate are annoying. She's just like the battle at
Choral Castle, the same strategy. Once she's out, go for Liger, because he's
fast as ****, maybe being more annoying than Arietta. Once he's gone, remember
to take the bird out (just who came with the idea for its name?). This is an
easy battle, remember to use you're Mystic Artes as soon as the bar fills.
She also uses her Mystic Arte, Big Bang, in every difficulty, and a good way
to defend against it is using Guardian.

BOSS: KAISER DIST XX

is that it's not weak against Water anymore, but anything more, no.

- Gald: 35,000
- Items dropped: Black Onyx
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: Earth, Fire
- Strategy: What can I say? He's the same as the old Largo. He's slow, so it's
easy to stagger him. When his HP drops below 50%, he'll start using Arcane
Artes and Mystic Artes like there's no tomorrow. Just make sure either Tear or
Natalia (or both) heal all the time, while Jade is casting high level Fonic
Artes.
-----------
-----------------
BOSS: GIGANT MOHS
-----------------
- Strategy: OMG, Mohs is pathetic. Just take a look at his P.DEF. It's under
500. Just attack him with Luke and Guy until you've discharged all your anger
you have towards him. Jade will make a good support, casting his high level
Fonic Artes and creating complete FoF. He really isn't that hard. Tear, as
always, must heal the party, but she may be attacking Mohs more that healing
the party. He also is weak to light, so many of Tear's artes are very
effective, especially Grand Cross.

- Strategy: She has some attacks Tear has; like Eclair de Larmes, Holy Lance,
etc. She's not as hard as she looks. She also has some Arcane Arts, as well as
her Mystic Arte. She also has Blessed Drops, which is weird to me. Have Tear
heal during the whole battle as for Jade, make him cast Absolute and Meteor
Storm. She has lower F.DEF than P.DEF (like most bosses), so Jade is a YES to
bring, as well as Guy, Luke and Tear. You need speed in this battle, because
Legretta is quick, so you need to be stepping her toes during the whole battle.

- Strategy: Remember the past battle with Asch? Remember the strategy? It's
really quite simple. Start Free Running through the field, having Asch follow
you. When he uses an Arte (he has Havoc Strike, Raging Blast, Rending Thrust
for Base Artes; and Fang Blade Rage, Light Spear Cannon, Swallow Fury, for
Arcane Artes), he'll miss, so return and combo him with physical attacks +
Rending Thrust + Light Spear Cannon (these are so you don't miss, and you'll be
able to move right after Light Spear Cannon). Keep following this strategy
until the battle is over. If you need to heal, use either an Apple Gel and/or a
Lemon Gel. Same goes for TP, which I doubt you'll finish it.

- Items dropped: None
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: He has Arcane Arts, such as Guardian Front, Radiant Dragon, Shining
Blade. He also has Fonic Artes like Ground Dasher, Negative Gate, Holy Lance.
He's pretty much like the previous battle with him at the Absorption Gate, only
a bit stronger this time. Combo him normally like you would to any other boss
and after you've taken 50% of his HP, a scene will trigger and the battle will
continue. This time, he'll be spamming Arcane Artes, as well as Mystic Artes
like crazy. He uses his new Mystic Arte, Celestial Elegy, as well as his well
known Imperial Slaughter.

BOSS: VAN

- Gald: 0
- Items dropped: None
- Steal: All-Divide
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: He has a new Mystic Arte in this new form, Ancient Requiem... which
is an instant KO to anyone who receives it. He also changed his Radiant Dragon
with Shining Dragon. He also has Judgment, which may kill more than 1 party
members. Try to keep your distance and attack whenever you see a chance. It's
pretty much the same battle as before, only a bit stronger. After you've taken
all of his HP away, a scene triggers, and you'll be fighting Van again, only
that you nor him nor any party members will receive any dmg. You only have to
wait until Tear finishes singing all seven Fonic Hymns and Luke uses Radiant
Howl to finish the battle.

The list of side quests is the following: Recipes, Costumes, side quests

areas.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 9.1] Keterburg Spa Costumes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx901 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Ok, these costumes are cool and a bit different of other costumes you'll see.
After Natalia rejoins you after the Absorption Gate (section 3 of the
walkthrough), go to Grand Chokmah and speak to Peony, who is in his room. He
want you to find his Rappigs.
1 (Jade) - At the main hall, check the W side to find the Rappig.
2 (Nephry) - At the Throne Room, check behind the Throne.
3 (Gelda) - Exit the Throne Room and enter the E door on the second floor, then
enter the next door.
4 (Aslan) - Exit the room, go down the stairs and enter the door at the E side.
The sucker is hiding behind the pile of books.
5 (Saphir) - Exit the room to find it there.
Once here, go to the Hotel and speak to the receptionist. A little and rather
hilarious scene triggers. You'll receive the following titles:
After the scene, return to the receptionist and use the spa once more to
trigger one of the most hilarious scenes in the game. Also Guy receives the
title "Naughty Devil". That's it for this side quest.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 9.2] Final Battle Costumes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx902 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
More costumes... yay! You must have seen the scene after approaching the
stairs before the last battle. Once done that, return to Grand Chokmah and
speak to Peony to trigger a little scene and receive the following titles:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 9.3] Abyss Man Costumes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx903 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You can do this side quest at the same time you do the Keterburg Spa side
quest. Natalia must have rejoined after clearing the Absorption Gate, and you
must be on second or further playthrough.
Go talk to Peony to trigger a little scene and receive titles, even for Asch,
but beware, if you equip Asch with the title when he's in your party, then
leaves with the title equipped, he'll remain that way for the rest of the game.
Every time I use these costumes, they remind me in some sick way of the Power
Rangers.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 9.5] Cecille and Frings ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx905 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This Sidequest is to obtain one of Guy's costumes. There are five events in
this Sidequest, so let's get started.
First event - After Chesedonia sinks, enter Engeve to trigger a scene between
Cecille and Frings. Afterwards, go to the Inn to trigger another scene. Now go
to Kaitzur (South) and enter the W building to trigger a scene with Count
Almandine. Return to Engeve and go to Rose's house to trigger yet another
scene. Exit Engeve, return to Kaitzur (North) to trigger yet another scene.
Afterwards, speak to Frings then exit Kaitzur to go to Kaitzur naval Port. Once
here, go the Kimlasca Base (S most building) and a scene with Cecille triggers.
You then obtain 'Cecille's Sword' (the meaning of this is f***ed up, poor
Frings). Exit, go to Engeve and enter Rose's house to trigger a scene. You'll
obtain 'Frings' Letter'. Return to Kaitzur Naval Port and speak to Cecille.
Exit, go to Chesedonia and then to Astor's Mansion. Another scene triggers in
here and you'll receive 'Memento Ring'. Dammit... 2 more trips, I promise. Exit
Chesedonia, go to Kaitzur (North) and speak to Frings to trigger yet another
scene. Final trip, finally. Go to Kaitzur Naval Port and speak to Cecille to
end this damn event.
Second event - After the Peace Treaty is signed, go to Kaitzur Naval Port and
enter the Kimlasca Base.
Third event - After the Absorption Gate, go to Baticul Port to trigger a scene
with Cecille (this is before Jade joins).
Fourth event - After Natalia rejoins after the Absorption Gate, go to Baticul
Port to trigger another scene.
Fifth event - After the Tower of Rem, return here and enter the tower itself
to trigger the last scene. Guy will receive the title "Dashing Gent" at the end
of the scene.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 9.6] Ant Lion Man ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx906 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
First event - When you enter Chesedonia for the first time, go to the S area
and go in the hallway between the Inn and the dude over the white rug. Give him
Apple Gel to end this event.
Second event - After you end the Zao Ruins for the first time, same place.
Give him Scimitar and Magic Lens.
Third event - After returning from the Qliphoth. Give him Miracle Gel, Panacea
Bottle, and Apple.
Fourth event - After you recover the Flightstone. Give him Stripped Ribbon,
Beef and Chicken.
Now go to Nam Cobanda and speak to Ant Lion Man. Pay him what he wants to
receive Ant Lion Man Doll.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 9.7] Catalyst Weapons ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx907 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
OK, the best Sidequest in the game. You need to get all 6 Catalyst Weapons, so
here we go:
Nebilim - This is Luke's Weapon. You get this after killing Blade Rex in
Meggiora Highlands.
Blood Pain - After Shurrey Hill, go to St. Binah and speak to McGovern. Now
speak to his son Glenn. The rappig is just outside St. Binah. Get
it and return to Glenn to receive the weapon.
Heart of Chaos - After the Radiation Gate, go to Daath and then to Ion's
Chambers. You'll see Florian running through the Cathedral,
holding a Catalyst Weapon. So go to where the five glyphs are
and use the SE one and speak to Florian to trigger another
scene and receive the weapon.
Unicorn Horn - Look for it in the main guide. [sx57-0](without the "-")
After you have all 6, it's time to go fight the hardest boss in the game. To
find Nebilim's Crag, go all the way to the NW corner of the continent where
Keterburg is. It's like a mountain slashed by half. Inside, a scene triggers
and then THE fight!
-------------------
BOSS: GELDA NEBILIM
-------------------
- Name: Gelda Nebilim
- Location: Nebilim's Crag
- HP: 320,000 / 480,000 / 640,000 / 1,120,000

- Gald: 50,000
- Items dropped: Red Verbana, Blue Dice

* Although Soul Crush has +20 P. ATK more than Key of Lorelei, it's a
cool looking sword plus you need it if you want to use Luke's Lost Fon
Drive.
** These are a huge plus adding Luke 300 more AGL. We need to get away
quickly from Nebilim whenever needed.
*** Same as the weapon, we need it to use Luke's Lost Fon Drive.
**** This is to cut in half all of Tear's Artes MP usage. We need this to
save a lot of Gels.
***** We can forget about Anise almost all the battle with this equipped. It
recovers 8% of both HP and MP at a fixed rate, which is quite cool.
****** Same as with Tear, Jade's Fonic Artes consume quite a lot of MP. With
this equipped, I never used an Orange nor Pineapple Gel on him, IIRC.
******* This increases the OL after 15 seconds of standing still. This is good
because Jade's Mystic Artes are the second more powerful against
Nebilim (first ones are Tear's).
I'm going to make this strategy a bit different. As you can see, I'm going to
do this one for Very Hard Difficulty. Why?! You may ask. Well, this is because
by defeating her in Very Hard or Unknown nets you the best costume title for
Luke, IMO. Tactical Leader is a samurai-like costume for Luke. Note that all
above were my stats for defeating her and you MUST be on second or further
playthrough in order to play against her in this difficulty.
Let's start out with the attacks. For Strike Artes, she has (these count Base
Artes, Arcane Artes and FoF Change Artes): Beast, Banishing Sorrow, Sovereign
Gale, Light Spear Cannon, Surge Breaker, Star Stroke, Searing Sorrow, Thunder
Beast, Gungnir, Mighty Deluge, Quake Stroke and Light Blast.
For Fonic Artes, she has (these count Fonic Artes and FoF Fonic Artes): Ground
Dasher, Frigid Coffin, Thunder Blade, Infernal Prison, Meteor Storm, Gravity
Well, Blessed Drops, Prism Sword, Divine Saber, Absolute, Raging Mist and Time
Stop.
People say that she can use all the Mystic Artes, but I've only seen her use
these: Mystic Cage, Big Bang, Rending Saber, Fortune's Arc, Innocent Shine,
Fragmented End and Indignation.
If you feel you just can't beat her, try using an All-Divide. This battle is
long, and really mean LONG! It took me 52+ min. fighting her. I used 12 Life
Bottles, 3 Pineapple Gels, 1 Treat and 2 Specifics. Turn off all of Tear's
Artes, except for Revitalize, Resurrection and Force Field. As for Anise, turn
off everything, but leave on Bloody Howling, Miracle Hammer and Guardian. And
for Jade, turn everything off, except for Ground Dasher, Thunder Blade, Blessed
Drops, Infernal Prison, Prism Sword and Absolute.
Nebilim has an incredible DEF. I was doing between 30 and 180 dmg. per hit
with Luke. The other characters did 1 dmg. to her. Anyway, you MUST control
Luke while the others use their Fonic Artes. Nebilim's Strike Artes deal over
1,300 dmg. so be prepared to die quite a bit. BUT, do not use a Life Bottle,
instead wait until Tear revives the party member. During this time, it's so
common that Nebilim will use a Fonic Arte against someone. How to know who the
targeted character is? Well, Nebilim will both face and approach that
character, so switch quickly to that character and run far away from the other
characters, while avoiding the Arte.
The good thing about her is that she doesn't chain her attacks, so they go 1
on 1. Also the Mystic Artes; whenever you see her going into Overlimit, go into
Overlimit yourself and use your Mystic Arte. This is used (well, at least I use
it for) for making time for her Overlimit to fade away. This way, it's easier
to stagger her. Use Tear's Fortune's Arc Extension only when you really need
it, because it heals all the party completely. Also remember to use Jade Mystic
Artes every time it fills. Also make sure to use all or most FoF that appear,
to deal extra dmg.
-------------------
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 9.8] Sword Dancer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx908 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Like in several Tales games, there is a special monster called Sword Dancer.
This enemy is one of the hardest bosses in every game, so let's start doing
this.
The first Sword Dancer is at Choral Castle. After defeating Arietta on the
roof, go to the main hall to find a huge sword. Examine it to fight Sword
Dancer 1. NOTE however, that Sword Dancer 1 will only be there until the events
at Akzeriuth.
------------------------------
OPTIONAL BOSS: SWORD DANCER #1
------------------------------
- Strategy: Ok now, a lot of people say that Sword Dancer #1 is hard, and they
may be right. Each of his attacks will deal 150-230 dmg. but can easily be
healed with an Apple Gel. Also turn off Jade's Strike Artes and only leave him
with Splash. Approach him as much as you can and guard until you see an
opportunity to attack. Your attacks, along with Guy's and Jade's magic will
take him down in no time. Also use all the Apple Gels and Life Bottles you need
(I only used 3 Apple Gels and 5 Life Bottles). Each of your attacks will deal
150-200 dmg. to him, so he'll go down fairly quickly (my battle lasted 1 minute
and 50 seconds).
------------------------------
Just before entering Theor Forest, go S to find a SP. Examine it and enter a
battle with Sword Dancer 2. NOTE however, that Sword Dancer 2 will only be
there if you defeated Sword Dancer 1 and you have just before clearing the
Absorption Gate to defeat him.
------------------------------
OPTIONAL BOSS: SWORD DANCER #2
------------------------------
- Strategy: For being the Second Sword Dancer, he's not that hard, although he
doubled all his stats. His attacks will deal 250-320 dmg. He also has his
Overlimit. When goes in Overlimit mode, open the battle menu and press L1 until
the 'On your guard!' Strat appears. This way, you characters will be away from
Sword Dancer while he's in Overlimit. When his Overlimit is over, just return
to your normal Strat. Just like the previous battle with him, deactivate all of
Jade's Artes and leave him with Splash. Also with Tear, deactivate everything
she has, except for Healing Circle and Resurrection. If you're Lv. 32 with
Luke, you should have learned already Guardian Field. When a Water FoF appears,
use Guardian Field to make a Guardian Frost. This will deal tons of dmg. on
Sword Dancer. Also there's your Overlimit. Use your Mystic Artes; Luke's
Radiant Howl (and if you're on your second playthrough, also use Ion) which
will deal 4,500+, Guy's Rising Phoenix dealing near the same dmg. and Radiant
Howl. I only used 3 Life Bottles and 1 Lemon Gel this time.
------------------------------
All right, good so far? The third and last Sword Dancer is in the Isle of
Feres. After clearing it (after the scene with the Replicas), enter the
building and exit it to find the sword stuck in the floor. NOTE that you must
have defeated the previous Sword Dancers in order to fight this one.
------------------------------
OPTIONAL BOSS: SWORD DANCER #3
------------------------------
- Strategy: OMG... he's pathetic. Really. If you compare him with the Sword
Dancer #3 of Tales of Symphonia, he's just a breeze. He has the same attacks,
same everything, so I'll just copy and paste the previous strategy. Please,
don't forget to steal the Sunlight Chamber from his, as it's extremely rare.
He has his Overlimit. When goes in Overlimit mode, open the battle menu and
press L1 until the 'On your guard!' Strat appears. This way, you characters
will be away from Sword Dancer while he's in Overlimit. When his Overlimit is
over, just return to your normal Strat. Just like the previous battle with him,
deactivate all of Jade's Artes and leave him with his high level Artes. Also
with Tear, deactivate everything she has, except for Healing Circle, Revitalize
and Resurrection. Use your Mystic Artes; Luke's Radiant Howl, Guy's Rising
Phoenix.
------------------------------
You'll receive the Ultimatus. The third most powerful sword of the game, IIRC.
Can be used by either Luke or Guy.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 9.9] Albert Style Books ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx909 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This side quest consists of four events, in which in each one you'll receive
an Arte for Luke. This side quest starts when you meet with Natalia for the
first time. Go to the Fabre's Manor and speak to Ramdas, who is chit chatting
with two maids. You need to get back the four books the maid sold, so, on top
it.
Go to the port and speak to the guy in middle of the tunnel to trigger a
scene. You'll need to buy the book back for 20,000 Gald. Buy it with the money
you received from Ramdas. You'll learn Demon Fist from this book, which is the
equivalent to Guy's Demon Fang.
The second book can be obtained after St. Binah sinks into the Qliphoth. Go to
Yulia City and speak to the man dressed in white and orange who is just outside
of Tear's house. He'll sell you the book, but you need the money, so, when
you're able to, go speak to Susanne (Luke's mother, for those who didn't know),
receive the money and buy back the book to learn Lightning Blade.
The third book can be bought after you talk to Nephry (Jade's sister) about
Dist. Go to the Hotel and speak to the guy talking to the receptionist. Just
like before, he'll ask for a certain amount of money, so you know what to do.
Go to Susanne, get the money and return here to buy the book, which lets Luke
learn Slag Assault.
The last book can be bought right after you clear the Radiation Gate. Go to
Daath and go to the room just before the warp portal that leads to Mt. Zaleho.
There's a person at the N side of the library and same as before. Go get the
money and buy the book, which lets Luke learn the Arte Sonic Blast.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 9.10] Tear's Pendant ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx910 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Tear's Pendant is an Accessory that increases F.ATK and F.DEF by 20% each.
Pretty damn nice, if you ask me. Anyway, it's the same pendant she uses to pay
the Coachman to get out of Tataroo Valley at the beginning of the game.
There are 2 events in this side quest. The first event can be done once you
enter Chesedonia for the first time. BUT HEED MY WORDS... (OMG, that looked
cool :P), this side quest ends as soon as you speak to Astor for the first
time, so you MUST do this once you enter Chesedonia.
At the N area (where Din's Shop is), talk to a man at the W side of the area
just to hear that he sold it to some random guy. This guy is in Grand Chokmah,
so there's the second event.
Once Chesedonia sinks to the Qliphoth, go to Grand Chokmah and enter the
Shopping Center to find a guy at the base of the stairs that lead to the
Capacity Core shop. He'll ask for a whooping 100,000 Gald. When you have the
Gald, talk to him and buy the amazing accessory. A funny scene triggers after
buying it.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 9.11] Jewel of Gardios ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx911 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
This side quest consists of 3 events, which you must do throughout the game in
order to get one of Guy's coolest weapons (and one of my favorites in the whole
Tales series).
Ok, the first event can be done since the first time you return to Baticul,
until before the Peace Treaty is made. Go to the Fabre's Manor and speak to
Pere to trigger a scene and clear the first step of this side quest.
Now, for the second event, you have to wait until Natalia rejoins you after
clearing the Absorption Gate for the first time. Same as before, go to the
Fabre's Manor and speak to Pere. Another scene triggers, clearing the second
event.
The last event can be done after you enter Eldrant for the first time. Return
to the Fabre's Manor one last time to find Duke Fabre at the entrance (inside).
Speak to him to trigger the last scene and finally receive the 'Jewel of
Gardios'.
Note that this weapon is needed in order to use Guy's secret Mystic Arte,
Brilliant Overlord, which can only be used if you're on your second playthrough
or further.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=- 9.12] Refined Flightstone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sx912 -=-=-=-=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
With the Greater Flightstone (which you get by doing the Mushroom Road side
quest), we need to get the Refined Flightstone. Now, from Keterburg, go W
across the river and land over the ice. Now enter Mt. Roneal from the N
entrance. In here, go N and after the ice arch, start following the upper
riverside until the ground goes down. From here, go SE and get 'Vorpal Sword'
from the ground. Return to the top, go E to find three trees. Use Mieu Wings on
the middle one to get on top and get 'Mythril Circlet' and 'Special Gel'.
Return below and go up the bottom one and get '15,000 Gald'. Then lit up the
thingy next to the chest to have a gate open. Proceed. Go S from the entrance
to get 'Wind Cape'. Keep following the path until you see two thingies in
middle of the room. Lit them up at the same time, get 'Red Lavender', melt the
iceberg blocking the way and go N to reach another area with thingies.
You'll notice that a wall is blocking the thingies, so use the mirror on top
to reflect Mieu Fire. Proceed. Follow the path until you're on the other side
of the room. Push the pillar on top of the white circle, now return to the
first area (where the blizzard is) and go N.
In this weird room, you'll see nine pillars throughout the room; 3 on top, 3
in middle and 3 at the bottom. Also, there's a white circle near each set. What
you have to do, is reorder the pillars so that the top ones form "/", the
middle set "\" and the bottom set "/", but the middle pillar has to be on top
of the white circle. Got it? Now exit all the way to the World Map.
Once out here, board the Albiore and go E a little bit to reach the E entrance
of Mt. Roneal. In here, Mieu Fire the pile of ice to get '7,800 Gald'. Keep
following the path until you reach the next area (ignore the fork). Get 'Grass
Chamber' from the lone chest and go NW, break the iceberg with Mieu Attack and
at the next fork, go S, push the pillar to the W, return to the fork and go N.
You have to lit every torch, which is kinda hard, but use R1 and L1 to make
things a bit easier.
Return to the room with the nine pillars and enter the door you previously
opened. Once at the snow field, start going NE, but watch out for the enemies,
because they are hard, but not as those of Mushroom Road. Follow the path until
you get to a SP and obtain 'Refined Flightstone'. With this Flightstone, you
can now pass through bad weather, like the mist SE of Grand Chokmah, the
fireworks at the NW side of Radessia Continent (where Sheridan is), he
lightning storm over the Hod Islands, etc.

Oo~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~oO
To start this event, Natalia must have rejoined your party after the
Absorption Gate (sx55-8 [without the "-"]). Enter the Fabre Mansion to trigger
a scene. Once it's over, we're off to Mushroom Road. To find it, locate the
river that runs through the E continent. You'll see that the river connects to
a lake to the far N. Go there (you need to start at the SW entrance, and from
the water, not flying) and enter Mushroom Road, which is at the N part of the
lake.
Once here, a scene with Asch triggers, where you'll use him instead of Luke,
he also receives the title "Loving Son". He's crappy as hell, having the same
armor he had at Ortion Cave. He'll die rather quickly and besides, you can't
use Mieu. Fight a few battles with him if you want and change to Luke just by
talking to him. Bye-bye, Asch... that's the last time you'll be able to play
with him.
Reenter Mushroom Road and please notice the small round thing spitting yellow
gas. If you use Mieu Fire, either a monster or a chest will appear. I'll tell
you which ones have what. The one near the entrance has a monster, now go N to
find two more spore mushrooms. The left one has a monster, while the right one
has 'Sage'. Return to the entrance and go E this time and use Mieu Fire on the
spore mushroom to get 'Saffron'. Now, at the fork further ahead, follow it N to
find a chest with 'Holy Bottle' (didn't even remembered these existed ;p).
Return to the fork and go SE to reach the next area.
Go ahead, get 'Special Gel' and the spore mushroom has a monster. Return to
the previous fork of the previous area, go N, then E and enter the next area.
Past the next area you'll find two spore mushrooms. The left one has a monster,
while the right one has 'Basil'. Now go S until you find two more spore
mushrooms. The top one has 'Lavender', and the bottom... well, a monster. Now
go W to find two more spores. Mieu Fire the left one for 'Red Basil'. For the
record, this place in Hard or higher difficulty is... OMG. You'll be using Life
Bottles like there's no tomorrow. All these enemies have more ATK than Fyr
Bronco back at Mt. Zaleho.
Keep following the W path to reach another area. Mieu Fire the lone spore to
get 'Savory'. Return to where you got the Basil and follow the SE path for two
spores. Mieu Fire the top one for 'Basil', now return to the previous fork.
Follow the NE path and when you get to two spores (ignore the lone spore you'll
pass) and Mieu Fire the top spore for 'Verbana'. Now proceed through the SW
mushroom path until you get to a fork, which you should take S, Mieu Fire the
top spore to get 'Sage'.
Return to the fork and go N this time, Mieu Fire the spore you come across to
find 'Chamomile'. Now go NE, Mieu Fire the spore and get 'Miracle Gel', return
to the fork and go E this time to reach another area. Go N at the fork, BUT DO
SO to reach the World Map. From here, go NW and get 'Greater Flightstone' from
the SP. Now return to the previous fork at Mushroom Road, go SE, Mieu Fire the
spore to get 'Chamomile'. Now examine the purple spore mushroom to trigger a
scene and get 'Rugnican Death Cap'.

- You must already have obtained both Flightstones. Check the Mushroom Road
and Refined Flightstone side quests for info on how to get them.
First of all, you need to locate Nam Cobanda. It's on the NE corner of
Radessia, the continent that looks like a crab. If you approach by air,
fireworks will appear, blocking your path. And by water, there are three
whirlpools blocking the entrance.
Position yourself directly in front of the entrance and start going in reverse
until you reach the E continent. Once that done, go to full speed and go
through the whirlpools.
Once inside, go up the stairs (the elevator doesn't work) and at the next
room, go through the SE door to trigger a scene with York. From where you're
left, go E until you see a light blue building to the N. Enter it to find a
room filled with costumes. You can find Lloyd's costume, Tales of Symphonia's
main character. You can also find here Klonoa's costume.
Anyway, go through the N door and a scene triggers with Urushi. Now the
elevator is activated. Now go all the way W and examine the corner to find a
Katz and you'll receive 'Comedy' Music Disc. You'll see three doors in this
room at the S side of it. Enter the middle one, only if you have the Key of
Darkness.
After the scene with Noir, Luke receives the title "Noble Rogue". Exit through
the S door and go E until you reach the next area. Enter the first room to find
two Ant Lion Men. Answer whoever you like the most and then pay Ant Lion Man
76,500 Gald to get your character back. You also get Anise Costume title "Cat
Cat Kitty Cat".
Return to where these dudes are and speak to the one behind the counter (only
appears if you did all the Ant Lion Man events at Chesedonia) to trigger a
scene. Pay 150,000 Gald to receive 'Ant Lion Grab Bag'. Once you open it,
you'll receive 'Apple Gel', 'Magic Lens', 'Apple', 'Beef', 'Chicken'... all the
items we gave him. But, as a bonus, we get 'Ant Lion Doll' for Anise.
Exit this room and enter the last one to the E and talk to the Cow-boy. Time
to go look for the brothers. So exit Nam Cobanda and go

When you're ready, go to the NW area of Sheridan and approach the persons at
the NW corner to trigger a scene. Now go to the Meeting Hall and speak to
Shiba, who's just left of you. When ready, speak to him to go to Ortion Cavern.
Save the game, and proceed through the hole.
NOTE: There are Bird-like enemies in here that give a huge amount of Gald
(over 5,000 per bird) and they're usually sleeping on top of the machines we
need to break. Use Mieu Fire 2 on a nearby mirrorstone to wake them up and
fight them. I also recommend using a Blue Sephira to earn over 46,000 Gald per
battle.
After the scene where Mieu destroys the first machine (there are 18 machines
total), then go NW twice, then W once and grab 'Sunlight Chamber' up the rope
ladder. Return to the previous room and go NE once, E once, then use Mieu Wings
under the ripped rope ladder to get 'Carmine Chamber'. Return to Shiba and go N
once, NW once and W once. In here, break the machine just like Mieu did [2/18].
Now go W and get 'Miracle Gel' from the top of the rope ladder. Now go SW,
then W and destroy the machine [3/18], also kill the bird. Now go S, up the
rope ladder and get '10,000 Gald', then return to the previous room and go N,
check the W side of the room for 'Cobalt Chamber'. This time, go N twice
(you'll be in a trap room, where lightning will come out of the machine there
every now and then), but go E twice, then N twice and destroy the machine
[4/18] as well as the bird.
We need to return to the trap room, which is by going S twice and W twice.
Once here, go W and destroy the machine [5/18]. From here, go N twice and NW
once to reach another machine. Destroy it [6/18]. Now go N, then NE to find
'Shooting Star' up the ripped rope ladder. Return SW, then go NW to reach a
room with a lake in the middle.
Return to the entrance and go NW twice, NE once and E once (this is the room
where you got the Carmine Chamber). Go SE and destroy the machine [7/18]. Now
go E once, NE once and N once to find another machine [8/18]. Destroy it and go
SE and get 'Miracle Gel' from the N chest. From here, go NE once then N once to
find another machine [9/18].
Now go E once, SE once, then S and get 'Specific' from the top of the rope
ladder. Return to the previous room and go E to find yet another machine
[10/18]. Destroy it and go NE to find 'Kaiser Bracelet', now return to the
previous room and go SE to find another healing point-like lake. Now go NW, W,
NW and N. From this room, go NE, get 'Life Bottle' from the top of the rope
ladder and go NE twice and destroy the machine [11/18].
Now return SW three times, then go NW, W, NW and W again. Destroy the machine
here [12/18]. Now go SW, then S to find yet another machine [13/18]. Return to
the previous room and go NW to find another machine [14/18]. Go SW for a very
helpful 'Red Basil'. Return to the previous room and go N to trigger a scene.
Afterwards, go N once more to find another machine [15/18] (just three more for
the first boss and 14 more for the second boss).
Now go N twice, and NW to find a machine [16/18]. Return to the previous room
and go NE twice to find another machine [17/18]. Go NW now and get 'Grass
Chamber'. Now go NW to find the last machine [18/18]. I really, REALLY
recommend you returning all the way to the beginning and save your game, in
case you get killed in the next battle. If you decided to do so, return to the
last room and go N to trigger a scene and then a Boss Battle!

d) Legretta
- Location: The Replica Lab the Abyss
- HP: 50,000 / 75,000 / 100,000 / 175,000
- P.ATK: 550 / 825 / 1,100 / 1,925
- P.DEF: 981 / 1,472 / 1,962 / 3,434
- F.ATK: 374 / 561 / 748 / 1,309
- F.DEF: 782 / 1,173 / 1,564 / 2,737
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Ok, this is a really fun and yet challenging battle. These guys are
the same as before, just with a little less HP. You'll start with Arietta,
Largo and Sync, but once you kill one of them, Legretta shows out of nowhere to
start attacking. I recommend taking Sync out first, as he's quick as hell, plus
he has a good P.ATK. Next is Arietta, who is a pain in the ass with her support
artes. Next is Legretta, because she's the hardest of all God-Generals (for me
at least) and last but not least, Largo, who has the same P.ATK that Sync.
After the battle, you'll receive 60,000 XP and 40,000 Gald; as well as Garnet,
Sephira, Chamomile, Mystic Symbol. I also got 93.71 Grade, so, you can see how
easy this fight is.
------------------------------------
You'll receive 'Gald Detector', which is a useless piece of crap that finds
money on the ground. Now from the room where you fought the God-Generals, you
may return to the healing save point at the entrance, but go N thrice, then go
NW to find the first machine of this area [19/29]. Now go NW twice to find
another machine [20/29]. This time go SW once for 'Holy Bottle' and go W to
find a healing lake (cool). You might as well level up a bit, if you want (I
recommend it if you think the God-Generals were hard).
Return to the previous room and go NE once, NW once and W once and get
'Gungnir' from the top of the ripped rope ladder; Jade's best weapon in P.ATK,
while the Dunamis at the Arena is his best weapon in F.ATK. Return to the
previous room and go NE to find yet another machine [21/29]. Now go E for 'Red
Saffron'. This time go N twice to find another machine [22/29]. Return S twice
and go E. Once in this room, go SE to find once more machine [23/29]. Now go SE
for 'Treat' and SE once again to find another machine [24/29] (how come the
sleeping birds never wake up?).
Now go SW, up the rope ladder and get '20,000 Gald'. Ok now, this is getting
repetitive... sorry, but return to the previous room and go E twice, up the
ripped rope ladder and get 'Miracle Gel'. From here, go N to find a machine
[25/29]. Now go N again then NW to reach a trap room. Quickly move NE to find
yet another machine [26/29]. Return now to the previous room and go W quickly
and get 'Elemental Ribbon' from the W chest.
From here, go N once and NW once to trigger a scene and find another machine
[27/29]. Just two more, don't worry. Now go NW once and N twice to find yet
another machine [28/29]. You might as well go E from here to find a chest on
top of the rope ladder with 'Elemental Circlet' in it. Now go NW once and N
once to find the last machine [29/29]. This is the last room (finally...), so,
if you want, return to the save point, save, return to this last room, go
through the door and prepare for a Boss Battle!
-----------------
BOSS: REPLICANTIS
-----------------
- Name: Replicantis
- Location: The Replica Lab the Abyss
- HP: 250,000 / 375,000 / 500,000 / 875,000
- XP: 32,000
- P.ATK: 817 / 1,225 / 1,634 / 2,860
- P.DEF: 1,374 / 2,061 / 2,748 / 4,809
- F.ATK: 801 / 1,201 / 1,602 / 2,804
- F.DEF: 1,320 / 1,980 / 2,640 / 4,620
- Gald: 38,000
- Items dropped: Sunlight Chamber
- Steal: None
- Elemental Info.:
- Weak: None
- Strong: None
- Strategy: Ok, he's slightly strong. He has Fonic Artes like Splash, Meteor
Storm, Absolute, Thunder Blade, Holy Lance, Icicle Rain, Bloody Howling and
Divine Saber. He's not that hard as you may think. He's pretty much like Fyr
Bronc at Mt. Zaleho. Slow, yet powerful (not that much, really). Anyway, stick
to your normal strategy and you'll beat his chimera ass in no time.
-----------------
Watch the scene after the battle (you're taken out automatically, so that's a
relief). This wraps up this side quest, but if you've killed both the Behemoth
at Inista Marsh and the Sand Worm at the desert, go talk to the Katz at the
Keterburg Hotel on the third floor to receive Tear's 'Monster Collector'
costume, her best IMO (I just love Neko girls).

Monster list of all monsters in the game. The list is still in progress,
though. This list is the same as my Enemy Database In-depth walkthrough. Have
fun with it and help me out finish it.
Before getting started with the good stuff, LET ME ADDRESS SOMETHING. There
are enemies that will appear in several locations. I'll write for it in every
area it appears, so bear with me. ALSO, I'll write down the enemy parties, as
well as the enemy avatar of them all. Ready?! Here we go!!!

I dropped a marble
When I chased after it, I dropped another
Only one remains in a single sunny spot
I dropped a marble
When it fell, something split open
It bathed in light where I plundered it

I just added this section because there are a lot of questions asked at the
boards, and they get so damn repetitive. I really hope this little section
really helps people out.
Q: My game freezes at Choral Castle. I'm using a 80GB PS3. How can I get pass
Here?
A: There's still not a way to fix this. It looks like the 80GB PS3 had this
problem with this game and several others. I personally don't own a PS3, so
I really don't know how it works. You can try to send your data to a PS2
Memory Card, play your game, get past Choral Castle and transfer your data
once again to the PS3.
-------------
Q: How can I transfer my saved data from my PS3 to the PS2 Memory Card?
A: If you have a Codebreaker, there are saves you can download to get around
the problem somewhere on their site.
Ideally, you should see if you can find a PS3 to PS2 memory card adapter.
It's an external memory card slot with a male USB connector for
transferring your data. If you can't find one, but you're *really* crafty,
you might be able to make one.
-------------
-------------
A: The Second Mystic Artes are only usable on your second or further
playthrough and you must meet certain requirements.
Tear - 1. Fortune's Ark: Once you have used all Fonic Hymns at least 50
Times, cast Judgment while in Overlimit.
2. Fortune's Ark Extension: Keep pressed X during Fortune's Ark.
Jade - Indignation: After you have used Thunder Blade at least 200 times,
keep pressed R2 Button (Overlimit Button) while in
Overlimit.
Guy - Brilliant Overlord: You must have used Final Cross at least 150
times, Jewel of Gardios equipped and 50% or
less HP. While in Overlimit, use Final Cross.
-------------
A: For 2 Players, you only need an extra controller. If you want to play with
either 3 or 4 characters, you'll need a Multi Tap connected to the PS2.
-------------
A: Yes it is
-------------
-------------
A: The best place is the Replica Lab, but this is only after you have beaten
the game at least once. If not, the best is Eldrant and/or World Map just
outside Nebilim's Crag.

One of my favorite guides has come to an end. This was an epic journey, from
the start of the guide in 2009 up to right now in 2014. Almost 1,000,000 views
which is my most viewed guide, my favorite one and for one of my favorite
games. Thank you so much guys and gals for the support. Remember to contact me
via Facebook/Twitter, which is faster than email ;).
