First, a note: This guide was originally - partially - written by
soulxedgexkoji, but he had to stop due to college. I, however, am not stopping
for any reason, and shall see this to completion. I can prove that we've been
working together for a while now, and I was mentioned in his original version.
We had planned to be coauthors, but he decided to just give it all to me,
meaning that you're mine, suckers! I'd been working behind him for a while,
editing what he had to say (meaning there are a good deal of changes from the
old version to mine), then I started writing a rather large chunk of it. Now
I've written most of it and I've heavily edited the rest.
Anyways, hay gaiz. I never really imagined myself writing a full blown FAQ
until quite recently. I'm a huge fan of the tales series - this insanity was
started by Symphonia. Vesperia is my ninth game. It means that I catch a lot of
references to older titles, I know a lot of themes, and I'm very familiar with
the battle system (especially since I've played Team Symphonia games the most).
I find it hilarious that I can write a guide and every single time the parents
come in they ask me if I'm cheating. Technically, yes, I do cheap things every
so often. Rita is my favorite thing to cheat with for grade and item farming.
And on second playthroughs I let the difficulty go to hell by using uber
weapons (Blazor Edge Abyssion pwns after a full game of mainly killing with
Yuri).

+------------------------------------------------------------------------ +
Beyond the controls, there are quite a few layers to the actual battle system.
I'll go through the basic to the not-so-basic.
_______________________________________________________________________________
-- Attacking and Defending --
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Firstly, the basics (hi n00bs ^_^). Depending on how you move the control
stick, your default attack will change, meaning that you can hit different
ranges - for instance, you can attack more downwards to hit small enemies. You
execute different artes (special attacks, techs, whatever you wanna call 'em)
by moving the control stick with the A button (keep in mind that for artes and
normal attacks, there is an option of *not* moving the control stick). Every
character differs in how they attack, some more obvious than others. Also, as
you attack a non-guarding enemy, your TP - what allows you to use artes - will
refill.
When you defend, there are actually a few quirks about it. You can jump (not
overly useful), backstep (if you use up skill points for it - more about that
later), or use a defense arte (takes up TP - and skill points). When you're
flung into the air, you can use it to land on two feet, rather than your back
(again, skill points).
_______________________________________________________________________________
-- Fatal Strike --
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You can include these in a combo for a grade bonus, or do them separately. They
instantly kill non-boss enemies, regardless of HP. All you have to do is attack
in a certain way for one of three bars to go down (they have directional values
- attacking down will make the bar corresponding to the down arrow deplete)
Artes also have the same effect - each is assigned a direction to deplete one
of the bars. Once the bar is depleted, a glyph with a direction will appear.
Hit RT. A way to make the glyph appear (when you missed your chance) is to use
an arte with the corresponding direction against the enemy when a direction is
depleted.
When you use them, the EXP, LP, and item drop rates can increase depending on
the fatal strike type and enemy type.
Here's a list of what each type of fatal strike will increase on each type of
enemy:
+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Enemy Type | Blue FS | Red FS | Green FS |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Human | EXP^ | LP^ | Drop Rate^ |
| Beast/Magic | EXP | LP* | Drop Rate |
| Bird/Insect | LP* | Drop Rate^ | EXP |
| Plant/Aquatic | Drop Rate^ | EXP | LP* |
| Inorganic/Scale | EXP* | LP* | Drop Rate* |
+--------------------------------------------------------+
* Indicates that it's more difficult to trigger.
^ Indicates that it's easier to trigger.
One more thing to note is a FS chain. Basically, if you get them in a combo, a
chain is the amount of times you activate the ability to use a FS - you can
activate it several times in one combo by using artes of the same direction, or
the infinite combo using one arte. These INCREASE the effect of the FS color.
In other words, you can get rare items very easily if you get about four of the
right color in one combo.
You'll love this when you try to synthesize stuff with rare materials later on
in the game.
_______________________________________________________________________________
-- Skills --
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
I keep on mentioning skills over and over. Basically, they affect a wide range
of things, and can be accessed from the main menu (out of battle). They take up
points to use, however. A very nice one to have early on (and till the end of
the game) is Item Thrower, which allows you to use items on everyone. Also, if
you have certain skills equipped, your selected artes will be an Altered Arte
(meaning, frankly, the arte changes). You learn those separately after 100
uses (50 for spells).
Anyways, they come from weapons. You learn the skills off the weapons with LP.
You can always use the skills on weapons without equipping them or using any
skill points (which go up one per level), but otherwise, you need them points.
In a second playthrough, you can buy the ability to have each skill only cost
one point in the grade shop.
If you don't use skills, expect the game to be a lot harder than it needs to
be. Serously.
_______________________________________________________________________________
-- Overlimit --
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
So now I'll backtrack to the subject of attacking. As you attack, a
bar fills up - the overlimit guage. There are four levels, but they're not all
initially accessible. You activate it by pressing the D-Pad. This isn't
attached to any one character, meaning that anyone in the party can use it - it
depends on how you set your strategies whether the computer will use it or
not. It also means that everyone contributes to it. Each level comes with
different effects:
Level 1 - Burst Artes, attack infinitely and without restriction, instant
casting
Level 2 - If two people are in overlimit, they can have each other's skill
symbol (such as Fleck and Strihm), additional damage on fallen
enemies.
Level 3 - Mystic Artes, no TP drainage
Level 4 - Invincible.
Regardless of level, you can use your artes (including spells!) till you run
out of TP without fear of losing your combo, lags, or anything really. You can
even normally attack forever if you're low on TP.
Also, if you have a bunch of one type of skill, you'll get a little boost
depending on what type of skill they are. For instance, if you give Yuri a lot
of attack skills, he will get Fleck, which increases his attack during OL.
Fleck - Increase Attack during OL. (Attack skills)
Rockra - Increase P. Def during OL. (Guard Skills)
Strihm - Increase Mobility during OL. (Move Skills)
Laytos - Recover HP during OL. (Support Skills)
Chrocs - Extends Over Limit.
Kaon - Recover TP during OL.
Twory - Increrases EXP if battle is won during OL.
Nhosing - Nothing ;P (Various skills)
Goldos - Increases Gald if battle is won during OL. (Guard and Attack Skills)
Ailus - Increase M. Def during OL.
(There's more, but I haven't toyed enough with the system to list them all.)
_______________________________________________________________________________
-- Burst and Mystic Artes --
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
While in overlimit, use a skill change or an arcane arte and hold the arte
button. It costs no TP, and it's basically just a stronger attack. Sorta like a
cross between a Mystic Arte and an FOF change (Abyss). Anyhow, they change when
you have certain skills equipped, much like a skill change. Hold A to use them.
Mystic Artes, the big kahuna of artes. Also known as Hi-Ougis. These are your
uber attacks, only used at overlimit level 3 and above. Hold B to unleash the
beast! However, the last hit of your arcane arte MUST hit in order to trigger
an MA.
_______________________________________________________________________________
-- Combo --
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
What's a game without having the ability to chain your attacks together?
Firstly, spell casters aren't really that great here, though it's possible for
them to create killer chains. They act as a supplement to your main attack -
adding more hits to a combo. Your melee characters, on the other hand, are very
able to string together a combination of normal attacks, base artes, arcane
artes, and more. Skills add to this madness, giving you things such as more
normal attacks. In other words, you aren't just bound to one type of attack at
a time. You can only do so much at once, however, and afterwards you'll have a
lag. Keep in mind that it doesn't quite work so well on enemies in overlimit -
you need to be able to stagger the enemy to make a combo.
And when you're in overlimit yourself, you can keep comboing till the OL bar
runs empty. Or even infinitely with a bit of exploitation...
_______________________________________________________________________________
-- Infinite Combo: Breaking the System --
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
METHOD ONE:
This only works if you have two controllers.
Basically, you need one player to be in overlimit. Trap an enemy against the
edge of the battlefield with your infinite attacking capabilities. Have the
second player taunt nonstop. Yes, nonstop. Your overlimit gauge will fill more
than it's being depleted. When you are about to get out of overlimit, trigger
it again and continue attacking. Nothing can stand against you. If you have a
weak weapon, this is how you can get the highest possible combo.
METHOD TWO:
One controller, one Rita, one overlimit gauge. If you have a full battlefield,
just have her spam wide area attacks (like Tidal Wave), and the gauge will
fill itself forever. Or until they die.
Skills: Minimum Damage, Spell End, OL Boost. Maybe Light Magic.
Equipment: Wonder Symbol
Artes: Meteor Storm or Tidal Wave.
Overlimit: Level 3
Items: Pineapple Gel/Orange Gel (if you screw up), Limit Bottle (also if
you screw up)
_______________________________________________________________________________
-- Free Run --
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
If you played Abyss (or Innocence and Radiant Mythology, apparently), then you
already know the wonders of Free Run. If not, then I tell you right now: ABUSE
ABUSE! It allows you to run all over the battlefield to raise hell, rather
than bind you to one line. It's your ticket to dodging big attacks and getting
away from the enemy, though it's nowhere near as handy as it was in Abyss.
However, DO NOT ATTACK WHILE FREE RUNNING. You only get one stab, and the lag
time is the worst in the game. It's easy to let go of a button before mashing
down the rest of them ;)
There is one exception to the no attacking rule: when the enemy is down. But
my own timing is generally off, so I find it worthless.
_______________________________________________________________________________
-- Semi-Auto or Manual --
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In the menu, if you hit the back button, you can change modes. There are three
to choose from, but I'll focus on the two I just mentioned - Auto is just
letting the AI do all the work for you.
The main difference between the two modes is that Semi-Auto takes you directly
to the enemy when you press an attacking button. It's also considerably harder
and more useless to jump.
Manual lets you control yourself completely. If you hit the attack button, it
doesn't matter if there's an enemy nearby or not - you attack. It's also
slightly less useless to jump. You get a small grade bonus for using it.
_______________________________________________________________________________
-- Menu --
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Bringing up the menu supplies you with all sorts of options. You'll probably
find yourself using items a lot, but there is a small catch to using them - you
have to wait a little while before being able to use another, and you can't use
items on allies without a skill. You can also change strategies, equipment, run
away, manage artes (including forcing others to use the artes), and change the
camera. If you craft the Moon Selector, you can even change characters.
_______________________________________________________________________________
-- Strategy --
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
In the menu, you'll notice that you can change your AI settings. Highly
recommended, because they're stupid without your guidance. Hitting Y sets the
formation - which you can choose to have your allies stay in formation or to
move around as they please. The X button lets you edit the settings. You'll
notice all sorts of options - for instance, if you don't like Repede attacking
the same enemy as you, then simply change his Target setting to "Different
Enemy". You can edit all of the premade ones in this way, or you can even
create your own. Each character also has their own, unique strategy, so read
the description before using!

This is sorta long-winded, but also somewhat important. At least read sidequest
stuff >_>
Sidequests, blah!
-----------------
I put sidequests in a certain order. Sometimes it's important, sometimes it
doesn't matter. I suggest doing the sidequests in my order without much
deviation. Otherwise you'll be wondering why a few sidequests didn't trigger
and then you'll be backtracking all over the world, which gets annoying.
Also, NEVER EVER EVER SKIP SIDEQUESTS. THERE ARE TIME LIMITS. Follow my guide
to the letter and I guarantee success. Even if you don't see a reward, you will
probably miss something if you skip even one sidequest.
Be careful. You'll yank your own hair out otherwise. Take it from me. I missed
one sidequest and started my third playthrough because of it.
Bosses, blah!
-------------
My boss segments have recommended levels. Those are really *my* levels, give or
take a few. Meaning my level is generally somewhere in the middle. I get to
these levels by fighting every enemy in my way except on the world map and in
certain dungeons with an abundance of enemies (Kogorh comes to mind). Are
these recommendations necessary? Honestly, no. So long as YOU have no trouble
beating bosses, your level doesn't matter. My levels are a guideline, nothing
more.
Also, you'll notice that my boss strategies get more and more general. I
honestly cannot make you a better player, nor can I tell you how to play. And
then there's the fact that I'm a Yuri user for the most part, while you may
like Judith's (who I suck terribly with) aerial combos more. Basically, I tell
you what to watch out for and how to get the secret mission by the end. Tales
games have too many playstyles for me to tell you much more.
To make the game easier for bosses, get as many weapons as you can and aquire
the skills on them. It opens up a lot of the fun features in the gameplay to
boot. And that's really all I can tell you in that regard.
Items, blah!
------------
Most sections have an item checklist. However, these items aren't necessarily
in order (I discover new things on each playthrough, I swear!) and I combine
items when more than one instance occurs (especially Gel items).
Speaking of items, as far as I'm aware, there is only one missable
non-sidequest item, which you can buy in Heliord. But if you come across
another, by all means, email me. I don't want to screw people out of 100%
completion >_>
Speedrun, blah!
---------------
Finally, I have low level speedrun times, in which I bought 1/2 exp from the
grade shop. If you're following these times, don't panic if you're behind. I beat the game about 3.5 hours before the time limit, so you have a bit of
wiggle room. Besides, it's very possible to *beat* my time; I hear of some
beating it within 10 hours.
As for how I calculated my time, I just used a simple formula in Excel. I put
my third playthrough time in cell A1, then my current speedrun time in cell A2.
Cell A3 had "=A2-A1" in it, thus forcing it to display my current time. I like
precision >.>
(And yes, I realize that's one of the most basic things Excel does, but I still
feel the need to explain it.)
And so, the guide begins.

| `----------´ |
| You'll notice me telling you to save. I mean it. You get a Trophy |
| for saving at all of the points, and a couple disappear. |
`-------------------------------------------------------------------------´
You start the game outside Yuri's room. After the cutscene, you appear outside.
If you wait just a couple seconds after you get control, you can see your first
skit. Go up the stairs to the left and search Yuri's room (the other door is
locked) for an Apple Gel. Oustide, then up the other stairs for another scene
about the blastia. After the scene ends, run up the ramp and go left to the
stairs to be introduced to the synopsis function (Wonder Log).
There should be a shop right next to you. It is wise to buy some Magic Lens,
which you'll notice you already have a few of. Then run up the stairs.
Watch the scene, get a skit, and then take the first left you come to. Approach
the house, watch yet another scene, and examine the plant to the right for a
Magic Lens. Then check the second window on the left side of the house. Check
the candles for gald and Magic Lens. Go up the stairs and check the door on the
left. After you watch the scene, go out the front door and prepare for the
battle tutorial. Don't forget to use magic lenses on them if you are trying to
get 100% completion!
<Drache> Hay gaiz I'll be chipping in a lot, so watch out :D Also, I think
it's totally awesome how Yuri draws his sword/ax.
========
Castle
========
Now, point and laugh at Cumore. What the...? Anyway, after you regain control,
get the Apple Gel in the back of the cell, save and go to the left. Check the
chest in the background to get your equipment and then leave. Also, there is a
Magic Lens behind the guard in the cellar. Don't forget it. You get sucked into
a battle when you go in the next room. Don't forget to magic lens them. From
here on, I don't think I'm going to remind you guys anymore because for one, it
would probably be annoying on both ends and two, it should be automatic if
you're going for 100%.
After the battle, run up the stairs and check the boxes on the right for an
Orange Gel. Also, if you go to the left side on the bottom floor you can find a
Holy Bottle in the boxes. Go down the middle passage, check the chests for a
Life Bottle and a Cape, then head out.
Go up the stairs to the left and head out the passage. Watch the scene, battle,
then go through the top exit. Keep going north, watch the scene, run into the
room on the right and head to the right where you can eat some curry to restore
your HP/TP. Don't forget to check the fireplace on the way out for an Egg. Go
to the north exit and grab the Life Bottle from behind the guard. Once you are
through, get the Apple Gel from the chest and save. Take the first left exit
and get the chest that has 200 Gald. Keep heading south until a scene kicks in,
go through the door, and prepare for your first boss fight.

| NOTE: Lens the man twice. There are two parts to this battle. |
| |
| Strategy: The main thing you have to remember is to block often before |
| you make your move. Zagi has a 2 to 5 second delay between his attacks. |
| (this is only an estimate). Don't try to make unnecessary movements |
| during this battle, it will only cause you to have to use items or heal |
| more. What you should do is make ONLY forward jab combo's followed by |
| Azure Edge. After you complete your combo, prepare to block his attacks |
| Following this pattern, his health goes down rather quickly. |
| |
| About halfway through this fight (so when his health is at 2350), you'll |
| be able to use your mystery girl noble who has followed you thus far. |
| She will be able to heal you if you have taken lots of damage. Use this |
| to your advantage. Continue the forward jabs followed by the Azure Edge |
| then a block until Zagi is defeated. |

.----------------------------( NOTE )-------------------------------. | `----------´ | | 1. To get a title for Yuri, you must do all secret missions in ONE | | playthrough. You've been warned. It sucks. I know. | | | | 2. Oh, and some item drops are unique to bosses. Just a couple, but still | | still enough. And Secret Missions give you different items. So you | | completionists, prepare to pull your hair out. | `-------------------------------------------------------------------------´ Estellise Sidos Heaurassein (Estelle) joins your party! After defeating Zagi, head back inside Flynn's room. If you check the closet immediately above where you entered, there is a Pineapple Gel and an Orange Gel. Check the trunk at the end of his bed too and you'll find an Apple Gel. Go towards the door to the table with the bowl on top to find a Holy Bottle. Run south and then go left to see another scene. Go through the left door. After
the scene, go through the right door to enter another one of those weird halls.
Press the switch and grab the chest if you didn't get it before. Go back out to
the main hall, head north, and take the left exit. If you don't feel like fighting,
you can sneak past that first guard and then keep running down the hall. Take the
first right to another gate hall and pick up a Life Bottle out of the chest. Defeat
the guard, open the gate, and then since there isn't anything there except another
guard, go back from where you came. Head south here through the door.
Pick up the Apple Gel and Orange Gel from the chests, then move the statue.
========
Sewers
========
Once you are down the ladder, watch the scene, then run around following the
path and killing the mice. Don't forget to pick up all the chests that are out
in the open for a Life Bottle, Magic Lens, an Apple Gel, a Holy Bottle, some
gald, an Orange Gel. Go up the ladder to exit the dungeon. Watch the scene then
head south. Keep going to the right and save, then go directly south again.
<Drache> Those of you on your second playthrough, did you notice that Dein
Nomos is depicted in the statue? :D
Head to the right across the bridge, then down back into the lower sector.
After the scene, go to the right side of the lower sector. During the scene you
get Melange Gel x 4, Apple Gel x 4, Orange Gel x 4, Life Bottle x 4, Bread x 4,
and Egg x 2. You also get the World Map and 500 Gald. YAY! Now we are off to
Deidon Hold.
Repede joins your party!
Hehe, Estelle's such a dork.
When you appear on the map, just run straight forward, following the dirt path

northwest, and a caravan to the south (and north) that you can rest at.

When you exit the forest, just run up/right a little but until you see the

of Halure, however (up the cliff area), is a search point.
If you go to the cave area and to the left as you enter, you can find the
Wonder Chef (he's the moving object you see - bright white, can't miss it).
Salisbury Steak is now yours to cook. You can get this later if you like.
To the east of Halure, you might have noticed a blocked road leading up a
cliff. It leads up to a search point. You can get there by going up the cliff
next to the cave place.

Most of the beginning of this place is just one big scene that you need to
watch. Once you regain control, go to the mayor's house - the first one you
see. Check the tree for a Magic Lens, and the right part of the house for an
Orange Gel. Outside, head up the path, across the bridge, and into the nearest
house (er, inn) to get an Apple Gel from a room and a Lloyd (Symphonia)
reference on one of the papers on the wall. Continue on the path outside to
find Estelle. Get control and run up the path again to the tree (after a scene
with Karol), then go through another scene. Now head back down the ramp you
went up and go across the bridge and to the back where the item shop is. Ask
for a Panacea Bottle but get rejected. Talk to Karol and then head out of town.
Time to go to Quoi Woods again.
Go back to the woods that you just came from a couple minutes ago.

| Recommended Level: 8-9 |
| |
| STRATEGY: This boss is not very hard at all. Basically, just get rid of |
| his companions in the beginning and then have everyone focus on |
| attacking him while you have Estelle healing from the back. |
| |
| Although this boss is not terribly hard, he does have a couple moves |
| that can catch you off guard. The main one you have to watch for is his |
| multi-swing attack because along with dragging you into his range, it |
| also racks up damage rather quickly. |
| |
| He shouldn't be too hard, but like I said, he can deal some decent |
| damage near the end of the battle. Use items if you need to. A good |
| strategy against bosses is to surround them. Try to run around the boss |
| using free run to get to his backside, then pummel him. |

After you finish him off and claim your Eggbear Claw, head out of the forest
from the way you came and go back to Halure.
It's scenes like those that really make me like Yuri. "Raaaagh!"
Also, on your way out, as you pass the area where the save point is, notice the
huge monster in the background. That area's blocked off for the time being ;)

When you get into Halure, go talk to the old man on the right in front of the
mayor's house. Get the Luluria Petal and then go talk to the item shop owner.
Get the Synthesis "tutorial" and then go up to the tree. Watch the scene that
follows. I do recommend synthing obsessively.
Head up to the tree to get a Life Bottle, the nearby chests contain a Holy
Bottle and a Nectar Bottle. Run down the ramp and then talk with the Mayor. Go
back to his house and talk to him again, then leave the town..----------.
.----------------------------( NOTE )-------------------------------. | `----------´ | | 1. Make the Karolian Hammer +1 before making the Karolian Sword, | | completionists.

You only get one Hammer, but the Karolian Sword | | can be made with BOTH the Hammer and Hammer +1. That sword could very | | easily screw you. | | | | 2. Your availible synthesis items will disappear based upon the | | ingredients you have. It's really dumb. Check out the equipment | | sections for the stuff you end up missing. | | | | So if something disappears, don't panic. Just get the items you need | | when you can.

When you are done restocking, Save, get the Apple Gel next to the Inn, and then go up the rest of the stairs. When you get to the small platform in the town's center, take a right down the path there and go into the hut. After the scene, run around to the back of the room and check all the junk.

You should find a chest with Magic Lens inside. Continue along that path, hugging the left side, till you find a hidden chest for an Orange Gel. Continue along the same path to find a chest of 800 gald behind a pillar. Go back to the central path and take the left turn for a Life Bottle. Continuing along the main road, you'll come to a short scene. Talk about strong o_0 Ignore the hole for the time being and climb the stairs for a Half Guard. Now enter your hole for a scene. Go south, cross a bridge, and open the chest for an Amber Cloak. Now go down the left stairs, and be sure to grab the Leather Boots on your way across. On the other side, you'll have a scene. Follow the path south to find another blastia. The scene gives you the recurring (throughout the Tales series) Sorcerer's Ring. You can also use the ring to stun enemies, meaning you don't have to fight the Golems if you use it. Go to the little platform for a forced battle to demonstrate how surprise encounters work. Anyways, head north to get that Apple Gel. Keep following the path for another screen. Get as far north as you can. There's a blastia you can hit to the left. Go back and to the left to claim the Ohka and hit the blastia. Go to the opened up path, claim your Chain from the chest, head south, hit the blastia, fetch the last chest of the area for a Long Sword, and leave to the north. Go all the way to the left to open a hidden chest for a Great Axe. To the right is a healing saving point (blue is the color that indicates this). Follow the path, and under the first pillar is a blastia. Hit it, and follow the path all the way around to hit the other blastia. Kill all the golems (if one is trying to hide by being a block, just mess around with the Sorcerer's Ring or stick by it) to make a path to a chest appear. Claim your Stiletto. Finally, to the left of the big baddie, get the Orange Gel outta the chest and hit the blastia, and hit the blastia on the right side.

hard to see, I guess, so bear with me here...
Soon you'll come at a fork in the road. Go straight. You'll run across a
billybally flower and a cutscene will ensue. Poor kid. If you continue
following the path, you come across a chest with a Francisca. There's another
fork to the south. Take it to get a Poison Bottle. Now, go back to the first
fork and take the east path. You'll find more billybally. From here, continue
to go east for a Melange Gel.
Go back and take the northern path. You'll find...le gasp...another fork. Go
west for a Scarf. Going back to the east leads you straight to two Life

| Strategy: Remember, those flowers stun you! |
| |
| Woo, boy. Lots of people who tried the demo couldn't take this guy on. |
| For starters, take out the little guys. They're nuisances and fairly |
| weak. It shouldn't be hard if all your melee people are hacking away at |
| them. I'd suggest turning off or not using any wind artes. |
| |
| When you finally kill the two lackeys, abuse every fire arte you have. |
| Often. I don't suggest attacking from the front, if possible, because |
| that's where the attack seems to be the most...vicious. In particular, |
| if you see the big guy charging up for a poison attack, free run it |
| outta there. You don't exactly want status effects ;) On that note, all |
| his big attacks take a while to charge up, so *watch* him and Free Run |
| away as necessary. If possible, lure the big guy into the billybally |
| flowers to stun him (attack to make the flowers release the stuff - |
| then run out the pollen's range), staying just out of range so that you |
| don't get stunned yourself. |
| |
| Keep in mind that it has lower M. DEF than P. DEF, so use Yuri and |
| Repede as distractions for Rita - you may even want to keep Fire Ball |
| on a shortcut. |
| |
| Of course, the most mindless strategy would be to overlimit then |
| infinite combo his ass whenever you have the chance. It's pretty nice. |

leather whip and gel from the chests. Head back to the previous room. Head left
for a ... Scene? if you even call those 2 seconds a scene. Anywho, takeout the enemies for a real scene. Go through the north door for another scene.
You'll be back outside. If you go to the tree back by the front entrance, you can get a Poison Bottle. The chest by the save point has a Mat in it. Go on for a scene...and a fight. What. A. Creep. There are mutliple instances of Bandido. Like Rhybgaro, and a few others. You'll need to lens them all for your Monster Book. +===========================================================================+ | -- BOSS BATTLE -- | +===========================================================================+ | Enemy | HP | TP | P.ATK | P.DEF | M.ATK | M.DEF | AGL | Weak |Resist | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Zagi | 31000 | 600 | 312 | 255 | 129 | 95 | 133 | Fire | Water | |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| | Recommended Level: 17-21 | | | | Strategy: Zagi has some hard hitting attacks, but as long as you manage | | keep yourself healed up, it's really, really easy.

So you get to go to the Inn. But first, head straight. You'll find a fish next
to a Lighthouse. Examine it to get the recipe Fried Chicken and Fries. Inside
the Lighthouse is another person lovestruck by Aifread - being a reference to
older Tales games, of course. On top, you can get a Holy Bottle. Outside, run
up the stairs and to the boxes for a Lottery Gel. On the left side of the
building is a Poison Bottle. Go to the far west building to see Flynn.
Afterwards, you'll see Raven not far away - pretty close to the shop. Check out
the Inn for a Life Bottle, Magic Lens, and a Mat.

Anyways, just follow the road. It'll split off in the forest to a patch of
of trees - a "town". Go there. It's dark, so keep your eyes peeled.

After the scene, go straight until you find an odd, cylinder object. Examine it
for a scene, then go right for a Paralysis Bottle. Ignore the door for now. Go
left now for an Epee and a Straw Hat. Eventually you will come to a rectangle
door in the ground. Watch the scene and get down there for another one. Go to
the top left corner and use the Sorcerer's Ring. Go back up and enter the first
house you come across for a Mat. Now go to the house I told you to ignore for
Password Clue 1 and an Orange Gel.
Back to the warp thingy. Watch the scene, and hit it with the Sorcerer's Ring.
Move forward in it. Go left and enter the house on the end. Claim the Limit
Bottle and check the side of the house for three Magic Lens. You can save
downstairs if you want, but skip the spiral staircase. Go upstairs for an
Apple Gel, Cocktail Dress, and a King Sized Belt. Go through the door and hit
the warp outside. Go left on it to be brought higher up.
Head in the building to your right for a Holy Raven and an Orange Gel. Up the
ladder and hit the warp thing. Go right, get your Tsurugi, then go down until
you can check the edge and go to a lower level. Go back to the warp and go
forward this time. Enter the building, go up the stairs, and get Password Clue
3 and a Lamellar Leather. Go back to the edge of the cliff you were at and
check it to go down.
<Drache> I am ashamed to admit it, but I was being a tard and a regular
enemy killed me here D:
Now go all the way right for an Apple Gel and enter the door. Snoop around for
1000 gald and go downstairs. Check for Password Clue 2, and a Purple Ribbon.
Go outside, then all the way to the left for a scene about Fatal Strikes.
You'll be forced in a battle to do one. Keep going until you find a Seed - a
chest, I should say. It's an interesting enemy XD You'll get 3000 gald for the
trouble. Head up the stairs and enter the building for a Life Bottle and a
Paralysis Bottle.
.----------.
.----------------------------( NOTE )-------------------------------.
| `----------´ |
| 1. Do 100 Fatal Strikes with all your party members for titles. Including |
| the people you don't even have yet. Don't worry, you have the whole |
| game to get around to it. |
| |
| 2. This is where the second method of getting items easily is. I first |
| told you how to steal effectively, so now I'm going to tell you how to |
| get any drop you want. Go into overlimit with Rita and spam an attack |
| with the FS direction (look in the artes menu!) that makes the enemy |
| likely to drop items. |
| |
| It changes depending on the monster, and I have a table under the |
| controls section detailing this. Afterwards, you'll notice the FS |
| symbol pop up. Keep hitting with that arte and it'll pop up over and |
| over again. These are known as FS Chains. Build up a few and you're |
| almost guaranteed any item you need. |
| |
`-------------------------------------------------------------------------´
Head back until you see a warp.
Go forward and enter the first building for a Mat and a Magic Mist. Outside,
you'll find a War Axe just next to the ruined stairs. Head down the cliff now
- remember this area? =P Well, I want you to go back to the save point now,
which means to go forward on the first warp and enter the house to the left.
Make sure you're healed up and stuff. Down the annoying stairs. Scene.
Password: た い よ う. Click here for clearer image. (It means Sun)You need three Magic Lenses. Don't go in if you have less. <Drache> It certainly isn't like the PSX Tales of Destiny translation error horrors. I forgot what they hinted at, mainly because I used a guide...

Fatal Strikes do massive damage, so remember that! | | | | Wait for him to stand on his hind legs and slash at him to for the secret | | mission. However, he does it just before a strong attack. Ouch. Have fun | | trying though. Oh, and it doesn't quite work in overlimit. I found that | | out the hard way. Combo artes, such as Dragon Swarm, work best.

All that and you don't even get to see the monster dead. No Karol for you. So
go outside now to a scene. Leave (go down the cliff to get there) to find yet
another scene.
<Drache> Cumore sounds familiar. Dist anyone? =P Liam Amazing O'Brien.
lol, expected "plot twist". You knew it, I knew it, we all knew it. Good that
it's finally out in the open, eh? Estelle gets the Royal Successor title and

`-------------------------------------------------------------------------´
Lucky Yuri, he got pardoned. Guess Estelle thinks he's hawt too. And Ioder...
Er, let's not go there ^_^;
Anyways, check the back of the room for the Fish with Miso Sauce recipe. Leave
and keep going south for a scene. Go all the way to the left and talk to Flynn
for another one. Keep going towards the nearby building for *another* one.
Battle. Oh dear. But at least you get to see a bit about Burst Artes.
"I say raaaaaagh!" - Adecor (the "I say" guy, AKA Tweedle A)
<Drache> Why is Tweedle B so much less memorable? Not that Tweedle A is
exactly memorable by himself... Except for being so incompetent <3 Every
game needs the typical lousy knight!
Honestly. That fight took a bit longer than I'd like to admit though, haha.
Alright, now go back to the building and stay there - Estelle is "resting" so
you can't see her. Afterwards, leave and go to the tall, spiral thingy. The
blastia. You get Estelle back. Go to the building you were first in and talk to
Flynn in the interrogation room. Cue dramatic music. Outside. Curious scene,
don't ya think?
Well, you'll find Karol in the hallway. Go back to the room for another scene.
Haha, it kinda sorta sounds like Rita has a girly crush on Estelle, if y'know
what I mean ;) You get to sleep nao, and continue the scene. Towards the
blastia for a scene. Honestly, they should just walk there for one huge scene.
What a way to weasel Estelle back in the party. XD

Enter to a scene. The building to your right is an item shop, the one across
the street is an inn and a store. Go north for a scene. Back to the area you
were in. Honestly, they should seriously just run there in the previous scene.
Take 'em out.
Check out the tavern to the left for what I think are random items (you have
to continue hitting A to get all your treasures). Exit and take the north
path. Check the right side of the room for the Minestrone Soup recipe. Haha,
with that little diversion outta the way, go back to where the tavern was and
continue to the left until you get to a scene and fight.
Afterwards, take the northern path again. Scene. You can now enter the BistroBlack Hole. It is the Building right before the west exit but there isn't anything to do there yet. Leave town through the left exit.
Just keep going through the forsested area until you see a dark green patch
of trees in the area.

Scene, which should be a given by now.
Raven joined the party!
Huh, he was a whole level higher than my party. Anyways, walk along the path
and go up the tree for a scene. Step on the mushrooms/giant conks to the south
path for another one. Karol will learn the Bug Breath arte. If you have done both the King of Adventure side quests so far, Go down farther to fight the Giganto Green Menace. May want to SAVE before!! Yes that means walking all the
way back out to the field. Go north for a Bastard Sword and a Chain Whip. Go
back and take a left for another scene. A chest with an Estoc is to the south
of there. To the left is an Orange Gel. Go to the north and take a left.
You will come to a fork (it's by a light). Go left until you get to a lower area. You'll eventually get two Weak Bottles. Keep going till you find a dead end. Now, head up the tree root - it's a bit hidden to the north - to get a Rabbit's Foot. Back to the fork. Go south to another lower area, in the area is two Poison Bottles. There's a save point in the next screen.
In this second area, you will get a scene with Patty Just before the save point is a tree root to the right that you can go up. You'll see a light to guide you. Follow it to a Lemon Gel. You can't do anything further down, so return to the save point. Up the path is a Seed chest. You get a Limit Bottle for winning. Go up the tree. Yet another fork plauges us. However, the lower path is blocked off. Three Mind Bottles are a long the path. Now keep going until you see a blue save point. Guess what's coming? <Drache> You have no idea how hard this area is to write for.

| Just use the first overlimit and keep pounding him with regular attacks |

I love Raven for some reason. He's so melodramatic. XD Intorducing the Fell Arms sidequest. But let's set that aside for now. Or for a second playthrough. So, um, out of the forest. You'll eventually come to a scene. Now keep going out. <Drache> Oh hay gaiz I'm actually not writing the next couple sections. Though I have written over it as time passed. Quite a bit, in fact. As for the destination...! =========== Dahngrest =========== When you get back to Dahngrest, head North to the Guild Union HQ. If you didn't get it before, in the back right corner is a floating rubber ducky. Talk to it and discover the Wonder Chef guy. He'll teach you Minestrone Soup. After that, head to the back middle into Don's Chamber. Watch the scene, then run back outside to the town square and watch the next scene. Go back to the Guild Union HQ, take the left door, and watch the scene. After you gain control, go back upstairs and head back to the town square. Scene and skit. Go rest, stock up if needed, and save. Once you are finished, run outside and head to the northeast until you find Rita.
Once Rita and Repede join the party, head to the western tavern. Watch the
scene and Raven Joins your party. Go through the wooden door behind the desk
in this room.

And then another scene. JESUS CHRIST ON A CRUTCH! So many scenes...then a
semi-boss battle. I won't even make a box for it because its not important.
You fight Bandido x 8. Just wait until they all gather around you and do
Dragon Swarm or Crushing Eagle a couple times to wipe out over half of them.
By the way, be sure to lens those Bandidos. I'm pretty sure they're different
from the other monster also known as Bandido. (Yes, two monsters with the same
name.) So be careful.
Watch the scenes. I got a kick out of this one.
<Drache> You'll find that Yuri and Judy work well together. Flirting~!
Judith joins your party! Crappy AI and all. Control her yourself, she's
terrible on her own! Like Estelle. Raven and Karol both surpass her as a healer
anyway. Raven's AI strikes me as pretty smart when it comes to Love Shot,
whereas Karol's TP drains a bit too quickly for my liking.
Where you were is a blue save point.
After you regain control, watch the skit and then run to the top right to pick
up a Life Bottle and a Melange Gel from the chests. Through the door there is a
Specific and three Magic Lens. Head over to the left and you get an upgrade,
Sorcerer's Ring lv. 2. After you get the ring, go into the door and watch the
scene. Pick up the Pineapple Gel in the chest and the Life Bottle on the table
and leave. With this, head back to where you started and hit that switch to
lower a staircase. The soldier on the right sells some items, if you need any.
Once up the stairs, you learn about Limit Duo. After you get control, head to
the north part of the room to pick up a Battle Suit. Head through the door on
the left. Check the armor on the top of the screen to get a Leather Coat.
Leave and head south to grab the chest with the Crescent Axe in it. Check the
barrels nearby for an Orange Gel. Go out any door to the south for a scene.Flynn joins your party temporarily!
You can leave if you want by going down the ladder. Climb up the ladder and you
can find a Rivet Belt for our lovely mage. On the left is three Holy Bottles.
Head down the middle passage to the big gear thing in the back.
When you get inside watch the scene and then shoot the gear with your ring.
Head upstairs and grab the chest containing a Kurama for the puppy. Shoot the
nearby gear with your ring to make the green aer go up higher. Go up the
stairs and shoot the golden gear on the right with your ring. On the next
level, the gear is to the left. You'll find an Orange Gel at the top of the
area.
Once in the next area go up the stairs and to the right where the golem is.
Grab the Blue Dragon out of the chest and then fight or stun the golem and
shoot the golden cog behind him. Up the stairs, then grab the Wizard Horn out
of the chest. Go to the back right, shoot the cog, then run all the way BACK
down to the first area with the pinwheel. Talk to the pinwheel for the Salad
recipe and then shoot the gear so you can make the aer go higher.
Run up to the second floor and shoot the first golden gear to extend a walkway,
then shoot the second one to raise the aer. Go all the way to the top one now
and activate the two gears on the left and go upstairs.
Grab the Holy Cloak and head up two flights of stairs. You'll see a small gear.
Hit it, and go down a flight, taking the right path to the next gear. Now head
to the bottom and shoot the gear. This extends a walkway on the left side of
the next floor. Hit the next gear there, and head upstairs. There, hit the gear
to the left and continue up.
Grab the Spike Hammer and hit the gear to the left both of the gears on the
right. Finally, hit the last one on the right part of the floor below and go up
the stairs.
Pick up the Lemon Gel and Smash Bow. Save, then head up the stairs. Here, you
can get a Halberd, Thief's Cape, and a Warrior Symbol. Head to the left and
ride the elevator up. Watch the scene and prepare for a boss battle.

| Rita, this will be more difficult to do and you have to go as fast as |
| you can. Along with making the battle easier, it also nets you the |
| Secret Mission for this fight. Now focus on the regular enemies until |
| they are all gone. |
| |
| The tricky thing about this boss is that most of his moves either hit |
| for a wide range area or the pull your characters into his range. |
| This makes dodging and blocking a little hard, but not impossible. |
| |
| Stay away from him while he is in overlimit because his combos do a |
| big amount of damage and to more than one person. Use items as needed |
| and force Estelle to use Nurse as often as possible to make sure your |
| allies have enough health to withstand his attacks. If you can get |
| the timing right, unleashing a combo on him will stop his attack and |
| net you more time to heal, especially if you can keep the combo up. |
| |
| Try to focus on getting your OL and unleashing it as soon as possible |
| and also go for Fatal Strikes if they become available. If you can |
| keep up the damage without getting wiped out, you should be fine. |

<Drache> If you recognize the normal battle music now... Haha, it's Felix's
Theme, from Golden Sun: The Lost Age. One of Sakuraba's guilty pleasures is
remixing old music, it seems. Fine by me. Sometimes.

Scene. Walk ahead to all the knights. If you go to the tavern on the right side
you'll see a reference to Sakuraba, the composer. lol. Stay at the inn for a
scene :) Awesome.
Yuri earns the Vigilante title, and Repede the Sinful Sidekick title.
<Drache> Repede's title is a mistranslation. It's really more like the "one
who knows of the sin". I guess that was too long...?
The interaction between Estelle and Rita in the morning is so cute. Cute is
my Achilles' Heel >_> It surpasses everything and turns me to mush.
When you gain control, go south for another scene.
Estelle gets the Seeker of the Truth title. Leave.

You really don't have anywhere to go but back to where you came from. You'll
get to a cutscene soon after you start moving. Go back to Heliord. On the way,
there'll be another cutscene. Talk to everyone, go to sleep, and continue on.
<Drache> lol, I love how Estelle hates the name.
Karol gets the Brave Vesperia Leader title.

You heard the boy. To the inn! Scene. I love how no one uses blankets. Out with
you, and to the left exit. In the morning, head to the blastia. Talk to the
guard by the lift. Pick one to distract the guard. Pick Karol ;D You don't have
to, but I think it's funny. Go to the item shop now. If you don't have the
items, fight till you do. I had them =P Very very cute you are, Karol. Run up
to the guard now. Don't be shy ^_^ Go to the building on the right afterwards
as a knight. (Or watch Karol get his ass handed to him.)
<Drache> Judith's outfit... no, just no. They could've made her way sexy if

There's really only one way to go. Back to Capua Torim. Head east, btw. You'll
eventually come to a cutscene. Notice that everything happens at the Inn? XD

Head for the Inn. Scene. Raven gets the Old Spy title. You can wander around
now. Talk to Karol, and then Rita is in the other room. Head towards the exit of townfor Judith, btw. Raven is in the opposite direction, on the end of the first dock.
Everyone else is easy to find. In the morning, run towards the boats for a scene. Afterwards, keep walking to the docks for another scene with Kaufman. Now head off to the dock where she is. Talk to her again to leave. The man Kaufman introduced is named Tokunaga. Lol, I love Anise's doll. That dude in Symphonia... not so much.
Head south and come to a scene with the fish. Now head west until you come to
a scene about the fog. Cue creepy music. Also, don't expect me to tell you
where any more of the search points are - they're everywhere, and you can get
to a lot of them now. Some appear as a pile of bones, others as a bump in the
sand. Later on you'll be able to access some from your boat!

When you split up, be sure to leave behind someone that you can control
reasonably well. You can buy crap from Kaufman if you're out.
So enter the next area and head up the stairs for an Ogre Sword. Go back down
and claim a Trident, then head downstairs. Be wary of these rooms - the enemies
can only be seen through the mirrors (well, the ghosts). They also have shadows
but they're hard to see. Follow the path, grabbing a Lemon Gel along the way,
till you get to a different looking room. Take your Orange Gel and enter the
door on the far side of the room. Snoop around for three Magic Lens and a Seal
Bottle. Go back to the other room and march up those stairs.
In the east door, get a Takemikazuchi. Outside, claim the Snipe Xiphos and go
in the door on the far side. Fight the Fake for a Specific, and check around
for Rice, Dried Seaweed, and Salmon. Must be rotten as hell, given that it's a
ghost ship. Yuri must have a gut of steel. Anyways, back in the other room and
up the stairs you go.
To the right! Grab the Limit Bottle and head through the door for a Holy
Bottle. In the door to the left, you'll come to a cutscene.Yay Patty! :) She joins temporarily.
Time for the other party to take over. Climb up the mast, grab the chest with
a Seal Bottle, Limit Bottle, Specific, and a Treat in it, and go down the
broken part of the mast. Keep going and enter the first door you see for a
Pineapple Gel and a Melange Gel. Exit and keep following the path to the next
door. Follow the hall for a Mat, and keep going till you reunite with everyone.
Save, circle all the way around for an Orange Gel, and enter the door to the
left for a Limit Bottle. Head back and upstairs. Check around for 4000 Gald and
a Seal Bottle. A cutscene will ensue when you go too far to the right. Snoop for a Pirate Hat and the box (for a cutscene). +=========================================================================+

going to the dark part of the floor. A ladder will be dropped. Go down like
this till you're out.
Rita gets the Anti Nonsense title.

If you're up for sidequests, make sure to LOOK for Nordopolica so that you
don't get lost, but don't enter it quite yet. Get only close enough to see it
because the cutscene that comes when you get within certain distance will pull
you into Nordopolica proper for a long time.
Otherwise, Nordopolica time! Head in a slightly southewest direction. It'll
be at the very tip of a continent. It honestly shouldn't take more than five
seconds to see it.

| Strategy: Ugh, a floater. Packs a bit of a punch too. Repede's a bad |
| option here, but Rita should damn well be a god. He's surprisingly easy |
| to simply beat up, but there's a slight problem with him - the secret |
| mission. One of the most annoying in the game. I suggest using Judith for |
| this, as her aerials kick ass. Basically, the boss will occasionally send |
| a core outside itself. You have to break it. Very difficult. He sends it |
| out when he changes the time. It's possible to do it with Yuri if you go |
| jump for it each time he brings the core out, but you'll be cutting it |
| fairly close. |
| |
| The easiest method is to use Rita. Use Splash during the day, Fireball at |
| night to trigger the core being spat out, then overlimit, wait a second, |
| TRACTOR BEAM! Should be gone real easy with that. |

You wake up in Yormgen. Next to your bed is the Wonder Chef, who teaches you to
make a Croquette. Check the area that you can't see in the inn for an
Hourglass and an All-Divide. A wonderful Abyss reference is on the wall =)
<Drache> May the folks at Namco Tales Studio never devise such a terrible
sidequest ever again. I don't mind shipping NPCs, but that was nuts!
Exit the inn for a scene. Time to walk around! Next to the inn is a Limit
Bottle. Head up north and hook to the right when you can, to get a Simple Tent.
Talk to the random NPC nearby for a scene about the box. Head all the way north to the Sage's place. Hello Duke. You're left to do as you please. Go talk to patty at the inn for her 泣かない少女 "Girl who doesn't cry"
title. Go back in the Sage's to see Duke again. Check the west side for a
Strange Mark. Talk to everyone else now. Once done, rest at the inn and head to
the exit.
Head back to the desert, but this time, stick to the field. It makes things
easy. Remember that ugly thing you pass by. You'll be going there soon enough.
There is a search point in the area (the bones), but you have to go up a slope
to get to it. Now march back to Mantaic.

Cutscene time. Go by the oasis and speak to the two kids. Go in the inn and
stay there for a scene. Cue more awesome cutscene. When you regain control,
speak with Flynn.
<Drache> Am I...punny?! (Pun wasn't intended before, but here it sure is!)

Head south for a Sinclair Saber. Now keep going back to the Aer Krene for a

already. Otherwise, just get outta here and take the road to Noropolica.

| She's just a tad hard to combo, but nothing you haven't seen before. When |
| she goes into overlimit, just stay back. She looks like she's throwing a |
| temper tantrum. Her combos are a tad brutal, so don't be shy about |
| guarding. She gets particularly nasty when she brings out the ice. When |
| you get her HP down about halfway, she splits into two. Instead of taking |
| both on, get the secret mission and put the lights back on. Just take |
| Yuri to all four lamps and light them with Destruction Field. Afterwards, |
| just pound her to submission. |

Mr. Always There. Oh wait, that's Zagi, sorry. Anyways, Flynn lets you walk by.
Now you're as good as gone. Bye Judy. I'll miss you(r hawtness).
You end up at sea. Be sure to save! Walk outside the cabin and talk to
everyone.

Basically, head north from Nordopolica till you reach the beach then hoof it to Dahngrest. =========== Dahngrest =========== Karol and Raven split. There isn't much to do now, so head to the inn, as told. You can keep going around as Yuri if you want, but it's rather pointless. When you wake up, head outside. After the scene, take the western exit. Go west past Keiv Moc and head across the bridge.

The enemies in this area are a pain. When you gain control, go on inside to another scene and battle. Afterwards, head west and check the miscellaneous junk for 7000 gald. Check the armor to the north for a Gothic Plate. Right next to the guard is a Lemon Gel. Head to the first door to the east. Check the weapons for a Grim Cardian. Exit and continue to the eastern hall. Take the first door for an Orange Gel. The second leads to an Apple Gel. In the 3rd door is a シャークステイル "Shark's Tail".
Back to the hallway and head to the end. You get a Panacea Bottle and a Holy
Bottle. Now head all the way back and up the stairs.
Check the junk to the west for Gothic Guard, and grab the Ruby Wand just past
the save point. Get the Magic Lens at the plant. Skip the first door and enter
the next one. Check the weapons for a Crimson Axe. Door number two leads to a
Limit Bottle. Three gives you a Stone Slasher. The one at the end gives you a
scene...
...No boss fight. How anticlimatic. Kill off what's there...
...And head back to Dahngrest.
Go back later for a Quick Trigger, Life Bottle, Syrup Bottle, and Nectar
Bottle.

Dahngrest

Once here, go to the center of town for a scene. You eventually get to wander
around. Head outside and to the west. You'll find Karol by the tavern, he gets
the Troubled One title. Estelle will appear by the inn afterwards. Head to the
exit now for Rita. You'll be brought to the ship.

for Red Sage and Saffron. Come back later for a Giganto in this very spot. Now
head back and take the upper trail.Hug the edge till you go right. Get the Deadly Horn at the end and return to the main trail. Keep going, ignoring the paths you can't take yet. You'll eventually go uphill. More chests you can't reach, unfortunately. A ways up is a Lemon Gel that you can reach. Soon after is a small scene. Keep going, grabbing the Crimson Phoenix +1 along the way. By the bridge is a chest with Treat and Specific in it. A bit hidden at that. The bridge leads to another screen and scene. Backtrack a little and get the Melange Gel next to the bridge, then head to the next one and grab the Grand Scepter. In the next screen, take the eastern path for a Transform Bow. On the northern path, take the Aries before heading to the next screen. Here, keep going till you nab the Tribal Guard. Take the upper western path for a Pandor with a Limit Bottle inside.

Keep going for a Feather Coat. You're done here, so go in the cave now. Scene...! <Drache> YES! YES! Finally, a real method of transportation. Talk to everyone, then watch the scene. Now test out your new ride... In the middle of the desert is a spiky rock thingy. Go there. Afterwards, go to Aspio. Feel free to uncover most of the map on the way ;) There, speak to a Krityan in the center area as you enter. You need to walk as Judith for this (the Special Flag you got from Nan and Tison, if you didn't synthesise it earlier, lets you do this). Then go to Rita's hut.
Head back to the center of town and talk to patty.
After you're done, go to the middle continent to the south. Roughly southwest
of Aspio. You'll see a stone thingy in a foresty area. And you can see
Nordopolica from there (they're terribly close to each other).
Or you can do moar sidequests first. I recommend this one.

Kill.
After the scene, go back to the fork where the first knights were. Cross to the
right now. Before you enter the cave, get the Limit Bottle and the Queen's Whip

Bottle and the slightly uphill one for 3000 gald. Go straight now and you'll
come to a save point. So, head right then north for Turquoise and a Fake full
of 9000 gald. Now go for the south path, then left for a Mythril Circlet. Pass
by the Giganto on the right path for Mythril Boots.
That Giganto is horribly hard at this point. So I *mean* PASS by. Run away for
a skit though ;P

(Magic Lantern). Go back and navigate to the end of the room.
Grab ユーデクス "Eudex" Down the stairs. Up, save point.
Up, grab Panacea Bottle, Lemon Gel, 6000 gald, and a Heal Bracelet. Up. Congratz.

| Strategy: Karol is a nice healer, if you haven't used him. Not as good as |
| Raven or Estelle in some regards, but nice. Anyways, he's pretty strong, |
| but nothing you can't handle, assuming you have a good supply of items |
| for the extreme cases. Just gang up on him and hammer him with spells. |
| It's one against four - he's easy to stagger. Just nail him on the wall |
| and attack attack attack! All you have to watch out for his his hard |
| hitting attacks and extreme speed. Don't be afraid to use nice items. |
| |
| One thing you do want is a decent amount of health until he uses his |
| Mystic Arte. Afterwards, hit X to backflip up (if you have the right |
| skill), run at him, and attack. You'd better be swift, or else you won't |
| get the secret mission! Attacks like Moonbeam, Azure Storm, and Gale Dog |
| are lovely. You probably want to be close to him for most methods. If you |
| end up that close, you'll want to use something like Destruction Field, |
| as your attack MUST be strong enough to break his barrier. |
| |
| Oh, and hourglass. That item ring any bells? I've heard it helps. |

Zaphias is where you need to be. It's actually in the sea right next to the

to take this opportunity to get the Moon Selector if you haven't.

Immortal Old Man, eh? Well, he comes with an Eleven Bow which teaches him
Special, so be sure to see his Mystic Arte!
Well, crap. Drache forgot items. But that's okay! The losers sell items. If
you got at least one Air and Geo stone, you can make the Limit Quartet, which
is nice for overlimit level 4. You will be a god at that level. Srsly. Right
next to that Tweedle is a walkway that leads to Naginata.
Anyways, continue along that path and go down the stairs. You'll come to a
level with a Life Bottle. Keep goin'. Get the Limit Bottle and head in the
door. Head forward for a scene. Bigger and better Sorcerer's Ring. Hit the door
with it for a Holy Bottle and a Reflex. The two doors to the left have a
Wonder Symbol and a Melange Gel. Down the stairs, use the machine to the left.
Down the ladder for a Pineapple Gel. The right ladder leads to a Lemon Gel.
Go through the big door. Scene.
Head to the right door on the same level. Grab the Panacea Bottle, and go up.
After a few levels, you'll come to a Treat. Enter the door up the stairs.
Follow the path until you reach a ladder. Push the block to the next screen,
destroy the wall with the Socerer's Ring, and push the block over the edge.
Hit the yellow contraption at the south with the Sorcerer's Ring. Head down
the ladder next to the stairs, then up another ladder for a Guardian Stamp.
Head to the south end of that platform and hit the blocks as they come along.
Your aim is to destroy the machine below.
Head down the ladder, then down the one to the left. There's a little metal
thing heading down to a lower level. Stand right next to it and fire the ring
to make another block fall on a machine. Go back to the main bridge where you
have broken some barriers, and hit the machine at the very end. Now go back
to where you were, and down the last ladder. Move the lift to the upper level
and push the block on top the last machine. Kiss this puzzle goodbye. Go to the
bridge and save.

Check the area for five Magic Lens and scram. In the puzzle room, head down the
ladders till you reach the south exit. Go through the big door again.
There's a door to your left leading to a Dark Bottle. Down the stairs and in
the door, you'll get a Rose Whip. Down to the save point for a scene. Grab the
Specific and head up the stairs for a Tent and the next room. There, go north
and destroy the wall for a Capiora chest full of 10000 gald. On the other end,
destroy the wall for a Vagabond. Enter the elevator. The northeast stairs lead
to a Pineapple Gel, and the left to a Lemon Gel. Go up the stairs to the
blastia now.
Sweet, cutscene. Leave for the southeast exit. Holy crap.
Yuri's awesome points increased exponentially!
Out the Inn for a scene. Then go back and speak with everyone. Leave town after
restocking on items and such.
You'll see a road that leads to the north. Follow it. You'll come to the ruins
of Ehmead Hill. Keep going north. You'll eventually come to a dungeon...

<Drache> I come from Alaska. How in the bloody hell do these people survive

only I had such strength.
Grab the Tabar and move forward. In that area is a Panacea Bottle. Keep movin'
for a Melange Gel. The beast will keep you from progressing. Go back to the
area where the ice sank to claim your Lemon Gel. Eventually you'll come to a
Limit Bottle, and the monster will destroy the path there. Go south for a
Pineapple Gel, then east, then north. You'll come to Hades, you sinner.
Keep going till you get to a Cure Bottle, a Falcon Needle, and to the end of
the road.
Head all the way back till you can go east. Grab the Life Bottle, save, then
get your Diamond Guard. A Tent is to the north.

Karol gets the Brave One title.
No more using Karol. Haha. Grab the Body Paint. To the east is a Bloody Coat.
The southeast holds a Seal Bottle, Pineapple Gel, and Psychedelica.
Go all the way back and head north. You'll come to a fork that goes a bit
south. Take it for a Limit Bottle. The other path takes you to five Magic Lens
and a fork. Go left for a Lottery Gel. Once you get it, take the southern fork.
Now get the hell outta here.

Halure is your destination. Shouldn't be hard to get to. Just make sure you go
west at the fork. Head to the inn, then to the Mayor's place, then back to the
inn. Now leave.
Go southwest to Quoi Woods. Through it. You'll eventually rest and find

Just keep going on. The path is painfully obvious. Once in the castle, take a
right, then right, then right. Go to the back of a cell for Transform Bow
+1alpha and a Moon Guard. Go back to the second room, then north. The losers
come out ^_^ You can buy stuff. Do it.
<Drache> And you can eat year-old curry to restore your HP/TP. Yum.
Head to the southern most west exit in that room. Then north. Save point's
there.
Remember this place, you're coming back. Behind the Sword thingy is a Lapis
Lazuli. Go north. Scene. Grab the Elder Cloak and the Spirit Bangle then check
the throne for a Mystic Mark. Check the door at the end, then leave. In the
center room, go east then north. Grab the Limit Bottle and the Breaker Bow. Hit
the statue with your ring.
Go to the center room, then exit to the south. Go west, south, then west. Hit
it. Back to the center room. Head up the stairs and to the west. North from
there. Get the Vagabond +1 and 15000 gald, and hit the thing.
Now, back to the center room, exit to the south. Go east till you get to the
prison area, but take the north exit instead. Hit it.
<Drache> D-don't give me that look! There's an order to hit them in, and
unfortunately for you (and me), that requires me to fling you all over.
You solved the bastard. I hate puzzles sometimes. Head back to the throne room.
Hit the door with the ring and ASCEND TO THE HEAVENS! If you're worried about
health, go back for the curry.

That was pretty cute. When you regain control, go to the prison to find Raven.
Rita and Estelle will be by the wings in the same area. Karol and Repede are in
the curry room. Judith is by the evil room you've been to 1000 times before ;)
From there, head right, down. Talk to the man in yellow. You'll find your party
next to an exit the next day. Estelle is a Determined Princess.
You can call Ba'ul now. Zaude is the middle of the sea, south of Dahngrest.

Yuri and Flynn though? Oh yeah, always hawt. He says Wunderbar at the end, meaning "Wonderful". Also, you notice how he says stuff like "symphony", "abyss" and "legend"? Lololol. He's totally referring to other tales games. I suggest going back and healing before you go on. In the next room is a Giganto. Holy crap. He's very much defeatable though - just make sure to bring Rita, and perhaps Estelle. He's weak to light and dark. Estelle spares you from using up your life bottles and gels. You'll get a Rod, Mjolnir, and Shiden for your trouble. <Drache> The easiest answer to the Giganto is "Blah blah blah Violent Pain!" and a few pineapple gels, maybe. With enough of them you can get MASSIVE LP. Just think - normally he gives 30. I ended up with 75.
At this area with the Giganto, go up near the main gate for the 麗しの星 "Maris Stella". This is needed for Secret Mission 20!Head to the right. You'll eventually come to a room with the water switches.
Head up the stairs and push the block off the south end of the platform
- you need to push it on top the square at the south end of the screen. Now
hit the blue thing to raise the water. Notice that the block rose with it? Go
push it to make a path across, then hit the red thing - BUT FROM THE LEFT SIDE
OF THE CRACK IN THE FLOOR. You'll sink to a different level from there.
Through the doors, you'll pass a pedestal on the way. Keep goin'. At the bottom
of the stairs, you can push the block to make a path to the Melange Gel and
World Charm. Anyways, push the left most block all the way to the right and
into the water. Then, push the one with the orb all the way to the left and
down. Stand on the one you pushed in the water and hit the orb with the ring.
Claim your Red Orb and Lemon Gel, hit the red thing with the ring, and leave.
Place the orb in the pedestal you passed before, hit it with the ring, and go
all the way back down (you can leave from the left room).
Now go through the center door. Claim your Asura and Death Contrast and head
through the door for some knights. Fight, scene, save. Yes, save. Through the
last door, and...
Make sure you got the skills off Dein Nomos. You're gonna lose it.

| Strategy: He has some hard hitting attacks, but he's just another, normal |
| case of four on one. He does have some techs to watch out for, such as |
| his ice attack, and many of his attacks hit behind him. He's slightly |
| difficult to get staggered, but just keep hacking away with all you have |
| and he'll crack eventually. |
| |
| After a while, he'll use Brilliant Cataclysm, his MA. IT HURTS. Hope you |
| are behind him when he uses it - only my Yuri was alive at the end of it. |
| Knock him down right after he uses it while he's still recovering |
| afterwards. No, I don't care if no one else is alive, just do it. |
| Overlimit level 4 can help you survive easier. Much, much easier. |
| |
| Do note that you *may* have to wait for him to nail you with said MA more |
| than once. Some have to wait as many as six. So when he goes into |
| overlimit, have him attack someone else, but always be behind him. The |
| he uses his MA, the more time you have to whack him because he's tired. |

+===========================================================================+
Yeah, this is officially a lot more annoying than Yeager. Three MAs hit me :(
Oh, and he uses words like "reborn" and "destiny". rofl.
Sit back, relax, and...watch.
Reminds me of Legendia. Sorta. And Eternia. Sorta. It's the falling thing.
Oh, and if you thought that was seriously going to be the end of the game, you
obviously haven't played a Tales game before. False endings are abundant.
<Drache> Adephagia is the Greek goddess of gluttony. They sure like to use
obsure references in this game.

You should have enough titles to start this sidequest by now, but it's possible to have started it earlier. You get Girly Bunny Ears and Bunny Guild Badge. • Go to the left tavern and talk to one of the guys behind the bar. You'll get Ghasfarost, Basement Key. Then go to the left machine at the tower to get to the basement. False Dein Nomos and a Limit bottle are waiting for you. • Toys ¯¯¯¯ - Go to item shop and talk to the (...) guy. You get (C) F Statue, a Poison Ward, a Stun Bracelet, and a funny skit about the Statue XD • Marking Map ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Talk to the cat on the bridge. You may need a lot of the dog map marked. Not sure. • Guild Quest ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ - Talk to the man by the east entrance, then go to the western exit of
Torim to talk to Nobis. Back to the Dahngrest Inn and talk to the girl.Now to the top of Mt. Temza! To the right of the warp is the Everlight
Ore (it's a small red dot in a crater). Report to the man in Capua Torim
for your cash.
- With that out of the way, return to the guy behind the bar, then run off
to Zaphias to speak with Leblanc near the fountain (he may be on a bench
in another area if you didn't do that sidequest). Now wander off to the
Inn and talk to the lady. To the Manor of the Wicked, then speak with the
man near the entrance in Dahngrest. Back to the Manor, then Zaphias' inn.
Pick "I'll pass" and find Leblanc, then back to Dahngrest for money.
- Speak to the bartender. Again. Then speak with the two people in the
corner of HQ. Now to Baction. Once down the ladder, head north and break
the wall (if you haven't already) and navigate down to BF2. In this new
part, there's little wiggle room, so you'll find the shovel to the south
without a problem. If you followed my instructions earlier, it's the
unexplored room. Back to HQ for money.

The dreadful icy place. Yes, there. You have to approach it from the east side,
however... So, just head back to that huge spiky thing where the boss battle
was a while back. There are new enemies in the area to boot. You can hit the
icebergs with the ring for new items. See the checklist for what they are.
Anyways, before you check the thingy, be sure to save. You'll go through a
minigame thing. Huh, it's a reoccurring tales theme (after the minigame, that
is).
You'll get the Death Contrast +2alpha, Dark Avenger +1, and the Moonstone. You
can miss a couple to get all items, but the less you hit, the less items you're
rewarded with.
Rita gets the Spirit Hunter title. Leave for a scene.
<Drache> Trivia. Apatheia is a state of mind free from emotional
disturbance. Entelexeia is a state of being complete/perfect/fully

difficult, but generally, there's one in every region of the world. This
one should be done in order of the circles. If you skipped a circle, you

complete the dog map.

Continue till you burn a plant. Ahead you can burn another one for Savory. Return to the light from a while back and go down this time.

You have a lot of work to do.
Need gald for sidequests? No problem! Just go to Nam Cobanda Isle, save
outside, and play for just 10 chips in poker. When you win the chance to double
just keep doing it for a while until you make lots of chips. Eventually you
can win big time. This is where saving comes in. When you win a good amount
of chips, save and go back. After a while, you'll have a ton of chips...and
you can buy all the gels to make loads of cash (takes a while though). Sell
them at Yumanju for it to go a bit faster.

| The dog map can end now. Be sure to go to the areas you couldn't land on |
| before. Lakes have been dried up, rough terrain has been flattened. And |
| all monsters on the world map should be availible to you now. Tents are a |
| wonderful way to change the weather, so I suggest monster hunting as you |
| finish up the dog map. |
`-------------------------------------------------------------------------´
Do yourself a favor. Save.
And do not save over it till you have Brionac in your inventory.

Head north and hit the pile of rubble with the ring. Keep following the path
north and you will eventually come to a chest with the berserk heart in it.
Return to where you defeated Zagi.
Walk out the west way, taking the Effecti Ring and a Limit Bottle with ya. On
the outside, get the Caladbolg and head down the stairs. You'll eventually
start going upstairs. Get the Energy Wand and enter the door to the right at
the top. Moar new enemies ftw.
Run to the west and hit the blue thing with the ring. Grab the Limit Bottle and
hit the next one. Beat up the monster and hit the switch. Hit the next thing.
Head back and hit the switch to the right to claim your Special Gel. Now back
to the initial fork. Grab the three Pineapple Gels and Lemon Gels and hit the
switch to the east.
Eventually you'll come to five Panacea Bottles and another switch. Hit it and
keep following the path. Yup, another one. Grab you a Rune Jacket and keep
going. Eventually you'll get to the last one.
Go all the way back to the other side now. There's a shortcut. There will be a
new path to the west. Grab your three Miracle Gels, hit the switch, and return
to the east. A new path has opened up, leading to a switch and an Empress
Dress. Roll your eyes at the game (and Drache). It's okay. Go back to the path
between the two paths to find a path to the north (yay).
HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME! I hope I reminded you of awful things. ;)
Go forward for a scene. Save. Before you go to his Final Bossiness, however,
you may want to do a few final things.
If you suck, you might as well finish the game now, or at least avoid the Fell
Arms.
============
Optional 2
============
As for the rest of you, there are two more Fell Arms to go fetch. Among other
items. If the final boss pwns you, you might want to go get some of this stuff.

.----------------------------( NOTE )-------------------------------.
| `----------´ |
| THIS WILL MAKE THE FINAL BOSS EVEN HARDER. Though you *could* defeat him |
| the cheap way, which I will explain later on. |
`-------------------------------------------------------------------------´
If you need something from outside, go up the stairs and right to get to the
elevator. Too far foward and you'll trigger the final battle, so be careful.

• Schwann Brigade
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Walk as Raven. Equip the Shining Star title. Remain this way till you hit
a scene (it'll be after getting the Kritya Coat, which is very soon).
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Go all the way to the east in that switch-hitting area and you'll find that a
new path has been opened.
You end up outside. Go down the stairs for a Glorious Guard. Before you enter
the door that you pass, go down more stairs for a Mumbane. You'll eventually
make it to the room you beat Zagi in for a Red Chamomile. Leave through the
east exit. Yes, you are looking at more stairs to go down.
Take the left stairs first to get the Milky Way, then chip away at the other
side. Grab the Kritya Coat before you get to the next area. If you walked as
Raven, you get a scene here. Head south, then go to the west after the bend
(through the crystals) to get a Terra Crest. Continue south to a new area. Moar
stairs. They lead to a Laurel. Through the door to the awesome room.
Head west till you find a small platform. When you stand on it, a bridge
forms. Cross it, get the two Pineapple Gels and Lemon Gels, and use the lift.
zomg a lift. The two chests hold a Miracle Gel and a Golden Hammer. Stand
on the circle thing to make a bridge. Puzzle time. This is where the
Sorcerer's Ring comes in.
Start by burning the rope to the left. down the left ladder and down again.Burn the rope to the right and go up to claim your Prism Protector. Backtrackdown and then up. Take the left ladder and go up again. Burn the rope and continueup. Burn the rope to the right. Up another ladder and then take the left ladder. Head down the opposite ladder and burn the rope. Go back up, down right ladder, down, down left ladder. Burnthe rope and open the chest for a special gel. Back up two ladders. Now takethe right ladder and down the next. Burn the rope. Back up, down left ladder, down, down right ladder. You can now head to the right. Go up the ladder and all the way right until you see a rope. Burn it. Go up the ladder you passed. Burn the rope with the chest to the left (We'll come back for it). Continue up the ladder and burn the rope to the right. Now go up the left ladder and burn the rope. Head back down, left and down for a limit bottle. Go up, down right ladder, and up the next. Burn the rope. Go back down twice andgrab the All-Divide. Now go down the first ladder to the left. Burn the rope.Now step on the round glowing circle in the middle to make a bridge. Cross it.
Head downstairs. Stand on the black thing in the floor to activate a bridge.
There's another to the west.
This is where you grab Uroborus and Susanoh, the final two Fell Arms.
.----------.
.----------------------------( NOTE )-------------------------------.
| `----------´ |
| YOU'VE BEEN WARNED. Pick up at your own risk and potential frustration. || |
| Also If you didn't do the Telescopic Graveyard dungeon earlier, you still |
| have two more Fell Arms to get! I'll remind you later when to get them if |
| you haven't. | `-------------------------------------------------------------------------´
Go up the west stairs. Head down two ladders, and up the next. Grab the RedTake the southeast platform to level 7 to get straight to the final boss. Level 6 takes you to the save point. If you want to unlock the left lift, go to level seven, walk *straight* across to the left, and use it. Too far up and you'll trigger the final boss fight, so be careful. =============== Sidequesting! =============== Oh no she didn't! That's right. Leave for moar sidequests. As you get to Ba'ul, you should get a scene about the Fell Arms, and having all of them (If you got Patty and Flynn's). I'm mainly putting this here because you probably didn't have Great Leo Fangs for a certain sidequest in Aurnion. But by the time you cleared Tarqaron to this point, you likely have a few from the lion enemies.Verbena and burn the rope. Backtrack down, up, up and out the new walkway.Hit the correct switch (I believe it is the right one) that makes the stairsextend. We have to go back to those stairs so go back across the walkway.Backtrack again using the other walkway. Go downstairs and back up the otherset of stairs then out the walkaway.Head up, down to the left, and down two more ladders. Go up the next ladder anddown the other side. Pass the stairs and go up the first ladder. Burn the ropeand then take the stairs. Get the three Special Gels. Head up the other stairsnow for a Meteorite Blade. A lift is now active.

- If you have not yet gotten Patty and Flynn's Fell Arms, head to this
dungeon to get them. Guide for the Telescopic Graveyard is all the way
at the bottom of this walk-through. But as you were warned before, this
makes the final boss harder to defeat!

• If you haven't already, give the knight next to HQ what he wants till he's
satisfied. Go out of town or sleep in an inn. If that doesn't trigger the
scene, just let a day or so pass. Return for a scene. You get the King's
Cape.
• When it's rebuilt, go in the inn and speak with the doctor. Go right back in
after the scene.
• Speak to the man near the inn's owner.
• Go out then back in Aurnion. Go towards the inn. If no scene occurs, do a

Flynn has to have used Majinken and SHugo Houjin (Demon Fang & Guardian Field) 200 times each. Both Yuri and Flynn must be in OVL 4. Either Flynn or Yuri holds "Attack", "Arte", and "Guard" buttons at once during an arcane, altered, or burst arte. A couple ways to get both in OVL 4 are... - Limits Octet (Clear Merciless Rank of Team Battle) which gives OVL 8 - Activate OVL 4 with Yuri then Hope Flynn does the same if Flynn has theSkill ライバルエナジー2 Rival Energy 2 (from the weapon レイディアントスター Radiant

| Ah, here we go. Round two, fight! This time, however, you have to watch |

| who didn't collect all the Fell Arms. If you did, you may want to hold on |
| to many of your items and such for a bit longer. |
| |
| This guy is a heavy hitter. That much is certain. He's also harder to |
| stagger. MUCH harder. Krona's Symbol is lovely. And anything along those |
| lines. You want lots of items otherwise. But honestly, whack this guy |

| You should be 75 or higher for this. Well, the non-cheap way. |
| |
| If you feel like you fail at life, use an All-Divide. This guy is brutal. |
| He's entirely optional. Also, if you don't have Glory or something like |
| it, have fun. I'm not crazy enough to do that on my first playthrough at |
| level 69 and lower! On higher difficulties, this guy is plain cheap, but |
| on normal, he's basically a stronger - much stronger! - version of the |
| same thing. And make sure you can cure every status ailment under the |
| sun! Way too cheap. Be very happy that Big Bang doesn't kill. |
| |
| However, he may use an MA that will once his health is low: Brave |
| Vesperia. I've personally never seen the MA on normal difficulty, but |
| I've been informed that it happens sometimes. So the way to avoid being |
| killed by it is by spamming Gale Dog or Force Field with the Eternal |
| Support skill on. |
| |
| The Cheap Way: Rita. O.L. Boost + Light Magic + Spell End. Meteor Storm. |

Unlike other Tales games (at least the ones I played), you can continue from
where you left off. You'll be back at Tarqaron. So first, for you
completionists, the most monsters you can have right now is:
89 Humans (assuming you ran through the 100 man melee with Karol and Yuri)
47 Beasts
31 Birds
37 Magic
23 Plants
28 Aquatic
26 Insects
18 Inorganics

Drake ~ Final
¯¯¯¯¯
But before you do anything, go to the west side of Aurnion to find Ioder for
Estelle's BC Rod, which is her best weapon. Then go speak with Flynn if you
completed all the secret missions for Yuri's True Knight costume. You may have
to leave town and reenter to see it (I did!).
<Drache> *snort* I prefer Dark Enforcer, but I guess it isn't bad._______________________________________________________________________________ Dahngrest ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ • If you have Yuri's "True Knight" and "Tank Top Lover" titles, talk to thewoman in Dahngrest's bar for Yuri's "Ponytail After a Bath" costume.You can do certain other sidequests if you missed them, mainly those in Aurnion. ============ Ex Dungeon ============ Ex Dungeon ~ Final ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Now, for the Ex Dungeon... well, go to Phaeroh's Crag, then to the sage at Yormgen. To Dahngrest! Once you see the scene, fly to the west (to Yurzorea) for a scene on Ba'ul. You'll now see a little black warp thingy below you. Be sure that you're prepared! To get through to the end, you need 15 fake gald. You may have to pass through multiple times. You get them randomly from bosses and from chests. Be sure to lens the new enemies and all bosses ;) Refer to the map by NakarG from GameFAQs. It'll get you through better than I can.
To open chests, fight enemies. This also makes the warps appear. Once you make
it to Yeager or Schwann, or Alexei or Duke later on, you can leave. The warps
are a more gold color. I find that fighting more bosses gets you more Fake
Gald, though you still have to be lucky. So fight them all at least once for
the Monster Book, and if you still need gald, go for the routes with Giganto
monsters. I can't tell you anything that will increase your chances of getting
gald. Sorry.
Additionally, you don't have to take every path to complete the book, you just
gotta fight all the bosses.
This place is good for grinding to boot. And the gald you get is tremendous!
Put Sephira on everyone (and as many Blue Sephira as you can) and watch the
money climb to 10 mil for the trophy. Personally, I got 5 mil on a few
runs. On 10x exp, this area makes grinding to 200 a breeze =P
But the echo and blur effect are obnoxious.
So, once you get 15 gald... Here comes Kratos! Though he doesn't go "Hee hee
hee", normally. His official name is Traitor to Heaven, but the box is going to
call him Kratos.

| Strategy: Wow, he has all his obnoxious combos still. Yes, you'll find |

| likes to simply jump outta them. However, he's fairly easy. Shining Bind |
| is the only real thing to look out for, as it can kill you if you aren't |
| high enough in level (I was nearing 100). |
| |
| He has the ability to stun you. If that happens, expect him to completely |

| His ability to heal himself is annoying, but keep trying to smack him and |

If you've been everywhere on the map, including all four Aer Krenes and the EX

==========
Coliseum
==========
Now be sure that you beat the 100 Man Melee with three people. It's absolute
cake near level 100 ;P I even did it with *Estelle* with four minutes to spare.
I hate using Estelle. She's the worst character battle-wise, even with her
uber shield.
You might want to synth some Rebirth Dolls for the big one. You'll want to be
very careful. I can't come up with strategies for all the characters. But I can
give very general tips. I'm frankly not good with everyone.
So things to know about each character:
Yuri: Destruction Field, Dragon Swarm, and Azure Edge are three of my
favorite moves. And they're fairly good for spamming to boot. You'll
want any skills that increase your combo size (Yuri has a bunch). Oh,
and Glory is the most amazing skill. For healing, you can use Guardian
Field (an altered arte). Dhaos Blast is also great for enemies, if you
beat the 200 man fight with someone else before Yuri.
Repede: Gale Dog makes you invincible for a little while, but I find it's
useless when not dealing with Mystic Artes. I can't say that you can
spam just a single move with Repede, especially when the enemies fly.
For those, there is Victory Light Spear and Shining Fang. Hell Hound
is probably another one I very much like. For healing, Repede has a
skill that heals his HP and another for his TP during Free Run. If
mages give you trouble, Repede is fast enough to run right up to them.
Estelle: Ew. She's terrible, but it's very doable. You probably want Holy Rain
or Angel Ring. But first, utilize the Eternal Support skill. At the
beginning of the battle, go into overlimit and spam Force Field.
Hopefully you'll be invincible for the remainder of the battle due to
the skill. If not, try again? Then you can do the whole OL magic spam
again with Holy Rain. Taunting helps refill the guage. Alternatively,
you can also spam Dividing Edge and occasionally Delight Roll. Oh, but
whatever you do, don't have Anti-Magic on her.
Karol: He seems difficult, but he really isn't. Nice Curing Smash is amazing
for healing. Roaring Revolution will sort of make up for Karol's
terrible speed, and Reaper Knock is seriously awesome. Especially with
his skills that allow for the charging of his attacks (you can have
three baseballs coming out of Reaper Knock by charging it). Just come
up with a few short-range, non-rolling attacks to fill in the gaps for
bosses.
Rita: BLAH BLAH BLAH TIDAL WAVE. Or Meteor Storm, depending on the enemy's
weakness.
Raven: Change Skill 2 helped me so, so much. I spammed The Wind's Howl the
entire time. I suck at ranged >_>
Judith: I spammed Moonbeam so much it isn't even funny, but you gotta be
strong enough to one-shot a lot of enemies.
General: Be very careful with Barbatos. NO ITEMS EVER! You'll definitely want a
Rebirth Doll to lens him. Miracle Bangle is great for characters who
eat through TP quickly (KAROL). You'll also want a Krona's Symbol for
the parts where enemies pop up that can petrify you.
So, obviously some of my strats may not do it for you. So I have a solution!
I refer you to the Coliseum Guide or to the sticky:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/xbox360/file/945075/58930
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/genmessage.php?board=945075&topic=50753071
It's because I suck terribly. Sorry XD
And if these two links don't help you, take it to the boards.
If you wanna know who you're fighting, that's Dhaos (Phantasia), Shizel
(Eternia), Kratos (Symphonia), and Barbatos (Destiny 2).
Coincidentally, my very last monster was the second occurence of Nan.
For 100% completion, you must do the 100 man with everyone but Rita, and the
200 man with *everyone*.

Head to the last area in Zaude. You will be able to enter this dungeon.
Some notes about this place...- This dungeon has 6 layers to it. Each of the layers is made up of 10 different
floors with warps connecting them. And each warp is kind of like a maze.
- There is a colorful map on the floor before each warp to guide you. Each square
of the map has a battle and when you complete the battle the paths open up to
the other map squares.
- Blue square is where you begin.
- Red square is where you leave the warp.
- Grey squares have nothing. You fight and move on.
- Green squares contain chests. Attack the pyramid chests to open them. - Special = Special item chest. - Blue chests: 8,000HP (Contain recover-type items only)
- Red chests: 80,000HP
- Yellow chests: 40,000HP and only open with Light attacks
- Purple chests: 40,000HP and only open with Dark attacks- Save points are on Floors 3, 6, and 9. Except Layer 2 where the save points are
on floors 2, 5, and 8.
Layer 1 (蒼天層 "Azure Sky Layer") -
Head north for a scene. Go right and then south. Continue on for a scene. Notice
the map on the floor. Now use the warp. The map below will guide you through the

Once on L6 F1, use leavethe dungeon (For those who can't read japanese... Use the warp again and pickthe middle option. Then when you reach the next warp pick the first option).You're thrown into a scene in Zaude. When the scene is over Feel free to gostock up somewhere if needed. You're going to need lots of magic lenses (forthose trying to get 100% monster book). When ready, go back to the dungeon anddown to layer 6.
Layer 6 (Dark Depths Layer)-
The boss is accessed from the 6F. Look for the Japanese symbols.
The fastest path through this layer is
1F -> 4F -> 2F -> 8F -> 10F -> 6F -> Boss

Unfortunately it's not that easy to deal || damage to it while he's not downed (Body destroyed). And he doesn't go long || without reviving his body. To add to the fun, that middle head is immune to || all magic spells. So you have to physically hit it. || || Try BLAH BLAH BLAH Meteor Storm! and skills for speed casting and increasing || overlimit time help. This will damage the other body parts while occasionally || downing him. For those playing solo, take off all Rita's artes except meteor || storm and let her use overlimit 1. Then hack away at the middle head during || all the chaos. || ||¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ || Experience: 1,800,000 | | Gald: 180,000 |+===============================================================================+
