C. Boss Strategies
******************
The layout of the strategies will be as follows:
*Boss: Name of Boss.
*Location: Location of Boss.
*Difficulty: Ranging from 1 to 10. 1 easiest, 10 hardest.
*Recommendations: A list of items you should have, as well as what
level you should be.
*Strategy: The most effective way to defeat the boss.
*Receive after battle: Not always included. A list of what items you
receive after you defeat the boss.
*BOSSES*
1. *Boss: Vampire
*Location: Sealed Cave (North of Leaf)
*Difficulty: 2.5
*Recommendations: Use Refresh as needed. Have Tanned Hide and
Carapace Shield. Medical Herb not required but helpful. Level 2
or 3.
*Strategy: This boss disappears and reappears frequently, so be on
your guard. He also occasionally sends out bats, so be careful
of them. Charge your Sword of Wind to Level 2 (have the ball of
wind equipped, and hold down the B button) and release the charge
when you have a straight-forward shot at the Vampire. Keep re-
leasing Level 2 shots at the Vampire, and he will soon parish.
*Receive after Battle: Rabbit Boots (when equipped, you can jump).
2. *Boss: Insect
*Location: Swamp east of Brynmaer
*Difficulty: 2.3
*Recommendations: Use Refresh as needed. Have Leather Armor and
Bronze Shield. Medical Herb and Fruit of Power no required but
helpful. Level 4 or 5.
*Strategy: Use the Insect Flute when you locate the area of the
swamp that's black and open (near the top). Using the Flute will
summon the Insect. This boss moves across the screen and shoots
blobs at you. Use the Fire Sword and charge it to Level 1. Re-
lease the Level 1 shots on the Insect when it's not firing at you.
Also, remember to keep the Gas Mask equipped through the entire
battle. Since you must use the Fire Sword, you will only be able
to attack with Level 1 shots.
*Receive after Battle: Ball of Fire
3. *Boss: General Kelbesque
*Location: Mr. Sabre (North Peak)
*Difficulty: 4.0
*Recommendations: Use Refresh as needed. Have Leather Armor and
Bronze Shield. Be at least level 7.
*Strategy: Use the Sword of Fire (have the Ball of Fire equipped).
During the battle he stomps his foot which in turn sends out ob-
jects in sets of three. Don't get near these objects or you will
get hurt by a shockwave. Avoid him when he stomps, and charge
up your Fire Sword to Level 2. Release the charge when you have
a chance to. After enough Level 2 shots, he will leave..for now.
*Receive after Battle: Flame Bracelet.
4. *Boss: Vampire 2
*Location: Island of the Fates (Sabera's Castle). When you go
inside the castle, you will meet up with the Vampire, no matter
which path you take, left or right.
*Difficulty: 3.5
*Recommendations: Use Refresh as necessary. Have Platinum Armor
and Platinum Shield. Have the Iron Necklace, and the Water
Sword. You MUST be at least Level 10, or you will not be able
to damage this boss.
*Strategy: He's basically the same as before, except he moves
faster, and he releases bats more often. Charge you water sword
to Level 2, and release it when you have a clear shot, which is
not easy to do. Dont stand in one spot to long, or he will run
into you. After enough hits from your water sword, he will
perish.
*Receive after battle: Nothing
5. *Boss: Sabera
*Location: Island of the Fates (Sabera's Castle)
*Difficulty: 6.0
*Recommendations: Use Refresh and needed. Have Platinum Armor
and Platinum Shield. Have the Fire Sword and Shield Ring. Be
Level 10 or 11.
*Strategy: When you come to the woman, talk to her and she'll
say that Sabera is in the next room, but she is lying. Hit her
with your sword 1 time, then hit her with a Level 2 shot from
your Fire Sword, and she will turn into Sabera. She'll move
around the room and release shots (which are circles), in a 90
degree formation around her. Avoid these shots, and hit her
with a level 2 or 3 shot from your Fire Sword when you have the
chance. Sabera is not that easy, and you will easily die if you
aren't careful enough. After many Level 2 or 3 shots, Sabera
will be gone.
*Receive after battle: Broken Statue
6. *Boss: Mado
*Location: Shyron (While under attack)
*Difficulty: 8.5
*Recommendations: Use Refresh, Barrier, and Medical Herb as
necessary. Have Ceramic Suite and Battle Shield. Be at least
Level 12. Use Fire Sword (with Flame Bracelet), Water Sword
(with Blizzard Bracelet), or Thunder Sword.
*Strategy: Wow, he's difficult! What makes it even harder is
that there is not much room for moving around. During the hard
fight, he will throw spike objects at you, in rows of two which
curve opposite of each other. Try and avoid these. The other
thing he does is curl up into a ball and roll around the room.
It's very hard to avoid him when he's rolling around the room.
When you have a chance, charge up your sword to level 2 or 3,
(or just to level 1 if you're using the Thunder Sword), and then
release it when you have a chance. If you are using the Thunder
Sword, keep yourself protected by constantly having the Barrier
Spell activated during the battle (only if you have enough magic
points left). After a long fight, and many attacks, he will be
gone. This was the first battle time I died while in a boss
fight. Be careful!
*Receive after battle: Ball of Thunder
7. *Boss: General Kelbesque 2
*Location: Fortress of Goa
*Difficulty: 6.0
*Recommendations: Use Refresh, Barrier, and Medical Her as you
see necessary. Have the Ceramic Suite and Battle Shield. Use
the Fire or Water Sword. Be at Level 13 or 14.
*Strategy: In this battle, he sends out object in a circular
formation around him. He also moves around the room moderately
fast. Avoid him and his shots and then blast him with level 1
shots from your sword (with warrior ring equipped). He will be
gone in no time at all.
*Receive after battle: Opal Statue, and your HP/MP are refilled.
8. *Boss: Sabera 2
*Location: Fortress of Goa
*Difficulty: 7.5
*Recommendations: Use Refresh, Barrier, and Medical Herb as you
see necessary. Have Warrior Ring, Ceramic Suite, Battle Shield,
and Wind or Fire Sword. Be at Level 14.
*Strategy: She is somewhat harder than the last time you fought
her. During battle, she sends out objects in a circular form-
ation around her, and she also has a ring of fire that protects
her. I found it easier to just use Barrier for the entire battle
and then blast her with level 1 shots from my Fire sword (you
can use the Water sword if you want). After you pummel her with
level 1 shots (with Warrior Ring equipped) she will be gone for
good.
*Receive after battle: Fruit of RePun, and your HP/MP is refilled.
9. *Boss: Mado 2
*Location: Fortress of Goa
*Difficulty: 9.2
*Recommendations: Use Refresh, Barrier, and Medical Herb as you
see necessary. Have Warrior Ring, Ceramic Suite, Battle Shield,
and Thunder or Water Sword. Be at Level 14.
*Strategy: He will throw objects at you in rows of two. Try and
avoid these. Next, he will roll around the room. He will roll
around a bit faster than he did the last time you fought with
him. Once again, I just used Barrier the whole battle and then
blasted him with level 1 shots from my Water sword. You can
also use the Thunder sword. If you decide to not use Barrier
the entire battle, good luck. This battle is_not_easy.
*Receive after battle: Sacred Shield
10. *Boss: Karmine
*Location: Fortress of Goa
*Difficulty: 9.4
*Recommendations: Use Refresh, Barrier, and Medical Herb as you
see necessary. Have Warrior Ring, Ceramic Suite, Battle Shield
or Sacred Shield, and Wind or Water Sword. Be at Level 14.
*Strategy: He will send out objects that bounce around the room
for a moderate amount of time. He will move around the room
while the objects are bouncing around, so it is very hard to
avoid getting hit. I used the Barrier Spell the whole battle
and shot him with tons of level one shots from my Water sword.
You can also use the Wind sword, or any other sword you would
like to use.
*Receive after battle: Kensu's Body (use it on Kensu in the room
above where you defeated Karmine. You learn the Spell of Flight.
If you exit the way you got to Karmine (over the three moving
platforms), and keep heading right from the platforms, you will
come to sets of stairs. Go down all of them and then fly over
the pink stuff, and you will come to the Storm Bracelet. The
Storm Bracelet is probably the_best_item in the game!
11. *Boss: Dragonia
*Location: Pyramid (East of Sahara)
*Difficulty: 9.4
*Recommendations: Use Refresh and Barrier as necessary. Have
Ceramic Suite, Psycho Shield, Warrior Ring, and any sword that
you want. Be at Level 15.
*Strategy: He shoots out bunches of lightning at you. He also
walks and/or flies around the room. You can use Barrier the
entire battle, but you don't have to. When ever he's on the
ground and not firing at you, blast him away with some level
one shots from your sword (I used Thunder Sword). Don't try
to hit him while he is in the air because he will land on you
and then you will get hit by his lightning.
*Receive after battle: Psycho Armor and Bow of Truth
12. *Boss: Sun and Moon Statues
*Location: Portal Entrance (Pyramid north of the pyramid where
you defeated Dragonia and got the Bow of Truth)
*Difficulty: 1.5
*Recommendations: None, really. Just have the Sun and Moon Bows.
It doesn't really matter what level you are, because this isn't
a very hard fight (it's not even hard at all).
*Strategy: The easiest battle in the game. Use the Bow of Sun on
the statue on the right, and use the Bow of Moon on the statue
on the left. It's as simple as that.
*Receive after battle: Nothing
13. *Boss: DYNA
*Location: Flying Tower
*Difficulty: 9.8
*Recommendations: Use Refresh, Barrier, and Medical Herb as you
see necessary. Have Psycho Armor, Psycho Shield, and Warrior
Ring. Use your Water Sword. Be at Level 15 or 16.
*Strategy: This is not an easy battle! From the left and right
sides of the room, round objects come flying out and go in all
directions. DYNA will also shoot lasers out of its eye. It
will also shoot bracket-like objects out at you. Attempt to
avoid all of these objects to the best of your ability, and hit
DYNA with either the Fire or Water Sword. Make sure you have
the Warrior Ring equipped, and quickly fire level 1 shots. You
can use Barrier if you want (I did). If you don't have a fun
battle, and good luck!
*Receive after battle: Sword of Crystalis
14. *Boss: Dragonia 2
*Location: Dragonia's Tower (Final floor of Flying Tower)
*Difficulty: 10
*Recommendations: Use Refresh, Barrier, and Medical Herb as you
see necessary. Have Psycho Armor, Psycho Shield, and Warrior
Ring. Use the Sword of Crystalis (duh!). Be at Level 16. The
Opal Statue is not required, but it's helpful.
*Strategy: When you try to attack him, you will not be able to.
You must use the Bow of Truth and shoot it at the wall behind
Dragonia. He will then change into his final form. He will
shoot round objects out at you, and they will bounce around the
room. He will also fire lasers in a 180 degree formation around
the room. While avoiding the circular objects and the lasers,
fire at him with your Sword of Crystalis. You can only fire at
him when the orange thing is open on him. When it is open,
avoid the objects, and fire at him as fast as you can! It would
be a good idea to use Barrier during some parts of the battle,
like when all of the objects are flying around. If you decide
not to use Barrier, be sure to have the Opal Statue equipped.
Also remember to have the Warrior Ring equipped. If you don't
have the Opal Statute, and you decide not to use Barrier, than
good luck, and have a_great_battle!
*Receive after battle: The ending to the Game! ENJOY!!
