INTRODUCTION - G0400 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Hello! I am Damir Kolar and I welcome you to my new project. Shadow Hearts series is one of my favorite game series, and I've been waiting a fair while for the next game to come. Finally, there it was - Shadow Hearts: From the New World (SHFTNW for short). Since I did the guide for Shadow Hearta 2, I said to myself "Why not do a guide for this one as well?" and nwow the result of that thought is before you. Now allow me to address some things: - Picture coverage - I have a TV Tuner, which enables playing games directly onto my PC. Meaning? A precise pictures being taken, as you can see thru the guide. With those pics I shall be able to assist players in understanding the battle engine, menu navigation and more. Most important helpful aspect these pics will have is providing visual reference to solving the puzzles and the like. I will upload the pics on webspace for you to view and successfully complete the task at hand. No more confusing ways of navigating the dungeon or looking for particular item. - Basics section - oh boy. This is one part I hate doing the most when creating a guide. And fortunately... no, a BIG fortunately for me, SHFTNW has a very comprehensive Help file inside main menu, accessed with Triangle button. Anything you wish to know about battle engine, button config, status effects, Karin (oops) - it's in the Help file. - Spoiler issue - I'm the player of the game, just like you (who is reading this guide) are. First time I've played through the game was completely by myself - therefore nothing was spoiled for me. All the story elements that were supposed to surprise me had such effect. Therefore, in this guide there will be no spoilers. Have a problem with that? Let me ask you this then: What exactly was it you wanted to find out by clicking on this guide? How to advance the game or have the game spoiled for you storywise? Regarding this, a small change will be made... once you beat the game, Theater option is unlocked on starting screen. Based on that feature, the game is broken up in 8 chapters. I would enjoy it very much if I could name the chapters the way they are listed in Theater menu, but because of several massive spoilers contained in chapter titles I can't do that for every title. I changed the name of second chapter only by shortening someone's name. - Usage of abbreviations. They really help me in cutting down stupid words I hate typing over and over, so again there's gonna be a plenty of them throughout the guide. Are you ready? Power up your PS2, open the disc tray, pop in SHFTNW, close the disc tray, wait for Start Menu, then select New Game... =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 05.)

WALKTHROUGH - G0800 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== For beginning snack I advise you to take a bite into this scene: kolardamir.com/shftnw/01-prologue.avi -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -------------------- CHAPTER 01 - NEW YORK'S BOY DETECTIVE -------------- CHP01 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- NEW YORK -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Items info: Mana Leaf, Tera Leaf, Pure Leaf, Talisman of Luck, Mana Leaf, Tera Leaf, Point Card, Cancer stellar chart, Hail Dust stellar, Earth Edge stellar, Black Card, Tent, Coral Lariat ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HINT: The game has two endings, bad one and good one. If you complete only the storyline events from start to end of game, you'll obtain bad ending. To get the good ending, you have to find all of Shania's fusion souls - then you need to collect all statues for fusion souls (four statues per fusion) and level them up to lv5. kolardamir.com/shftnw/02-intro.avi Rawr! Shania is an absolute win, no? After feasting your eyes on her and having the camera point out busting specifics, sit back for few more minutes and watch the scenes unfold. Eventually you'll gain control of Johnny and be outside his detective office. Immediately step into the blue circle on the floor and save your game. Triangle menu has following options at the moment: - ITEM - EQUIP - PERSONAL - ABILITY - SNAP CARDS (Johnny's exclusive) - HANDY TOOLS (Johnny's exclusive) - PROFILE - PROPERTY - INVENTORY - KEY ITEMS - ITEMS - WEAPONS - ARMOR - ACCESSORIES - SNAP CARDS - SKILL LIST - HANDY TOOLS - LIBRARY - MONSTERS - CHARACTERS - SCORE - HELP (explanation of various game's aspects, gets updated very often) - OPTION - DATA - SAVE (only when standing on SPN) - LOAD As far as your inventory goes, you have the following items: KEY ITEMS: - K.ITEMS: PHOTO.OF.MARLOW ITEMS: - ITEMS: 8x THERA LEAF - ITEMS: 5x MANA LEAF - ITEMS: 3x PURE LEAF - ITEMS: 2x TENT WEAPONS: - WEAPONS: CLIP POINT ARMOR: - ARMOR: COTTON SHIRT CASH: - 300 cash John's special abilities are called HANDY TOOLS, and currently you have: - 1ST.HANDY.TOOLS: SNAP (take photo of a foe and get its info, 1 MP) By taking photos of the enemies you will get SNAP CARDS, which are used in trading them for various items, stellars, other snap cards, etc. In short, Snap is one of the most important abilities in the game Walk back into the office and collect ITEM: MANA LEAF & ITEM: TERA LEAF from two chests, then go up the stairs and nab ITEM: PURE LEAF near the guitar. You can use the bed to sleep and recover all HP and MP. Leave the office and examine potted flower for ITEM: TALISMAN OF LUCK, then walk out of the building. kolardamir.com/shftnw/03-johnny-past.avi First you'll need to gather some information about the man you're looking for. Start by talking to Cheeky Joshua on the street corner - by doing so Times Square will appear on world map when you leave this screen. Check the side of car opposite to Joshua and nab ITEM: MANA LEAF. Now leave the screen to enter world map (see the tutorial). Right now only two locations are displayed: - WORLD.MAP.POINT.#1: NEW YORK - UPPER WEST SIDE - WORLD.MAP.POINT.#2: NEW YORK - TIMES SQUARE Pick Times Square, the location that just appeared and continue your search. Keep walking up and when you come to black car with chubby guy next to it, examine the back of "TIMES" sign for ITEM: THERA LEAF. Keep going up for a scene and a familiar face will pull over - you'll receive K.ITEMS: POINT.CARD and 1ST.STELLAR.CHART: CANCER stellar chart (comes with 1ST.STELLARS: HAIL DUST & 2ND.STELLARS: EARTH EDGE). HINT: By buying things from shop guys you will accumulate points in order to raise your rank (maximum amount of points is 9999). Depending on amount of points you will have following benefits: a) Rank E - 100 points needed to reach rank D - 10% Discount - 5% Markup b) Rank D - 400 more points needed to reach rank C - 20% Discount - 10% Markup c) Rank C - 500 more points needed to reach rank B - 30% Discount - 15% Markup d) Rank B - 2000 more points needed to reach rank A - 40% Discount - 20% Markup e) Rank A - second highest rank, no more points needed to reach next rank - 50% Discount - 25% Markup f) Rank S - obtain Black Card - exempt from penalty for unsuccessful discounts and markups - receive twice as many points - 60% Discount - 30% Markup Whenever you want a discount or a markup, you will have to be successful with judgment ring. After you reach Rank A, Gerard will give you a bonus - KEY.ITEMS: BLACK.CARD. From now on, whenever you see Gerard and Buigen, you can do several things with them (Buigen's services are available later): - GERARD: - BUY (buy items, weapons, accessories, etc.) - SELL (sell items, weapons, accessories, etc.) - EQUIP (equip chrs on the spot without needing Triangle menu) - LEAVE (leave the shop) HINT: If you buy a lot at once, you may be randomly awarded with some items. So far I've been getting Lottery Tickets. Triangle menu has been updated: - ITEM - STELLAR CHART [!] - CUSTOMIZE [!] - EQUIP CHART [!] - EQUIP - PERSONAL - ABILITY - SNAP CARDS (Johnny's exclusive) - HANDY TOOLS (Johnny's exclusive) - PROFILE - PROPERTY - INVENTORY - KEY ITEMS - ITEMS - STELLARS [!] - STELLAR CHART [!] - WEAPONS - ARMOR - ACCESSORIES - SNAP CARDS - SKILL LIST - STELLAR MAGIC [!] - HANDY TOOLS - LIBRARY - MONSTERS - CHARACTERS - SCORE - HELP - OPTION - DATA - SAVE - LOAD Look for a chest below the sign "Geppetto & Cornelia" - it contains ITEM: TENT. There is Strolling Hassel walking around in the back of the screen - when you talk to him, you'll get next clue. The man you seek is probably in Chelsea. Leave the screen back to world map. New map location appears: - WORLD.MAP.POINT.#3: NEW YORK - CHELSEA Choose Chelsea - stand next to upper right side of the car and open the chest for ACCESSORIES: CORAL LARIAT (make sure to equip it on John), then approach Erick Theater. McCoy the Reporter is standing in front of it, and he may have some juicy info... Walk into SPN to the right of theater and save your progress, then enter the theater. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- DUNGEON 001 ERICK THEATER -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Enemy info: No.001 Thug (2 Snaps, 1 Mackerel) No.002 Fat Thug (2 Snaps, 1 Mackerel) No.003 Deep One (can't Snap, 1 Mackerel) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Items info: Mana Leaf, Cure stellar, Thera Leaf, Leather Belt, Seal of Luck, Aqua Edge stellar, Thera Leaf, Pure Leaf, Tent, Heat Edge stellar ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HINT: Whenever you walk into new dungeon, make sure you use Johnny's Snap to take pictures of enemies, especially bosses! There are some enemies where you won't be able to do so, but worry not - pics for those foes are obtained by trading. HINT: For some nostalgia allow John to be KOed in one of the battles. You won't get Game Over, but something else... Navigation Map hints will be displayed - walk around the corner and collect ITEM: MANA LEAF on the floor in '1F Entrance', then go thru the door for a scene. An event battle will take place and you can choose to go thru tutorial or duke it out on your own. Take the stairs to second floor's '2F Aisle'. You'll run into Nancy, who came here along with Tom to play (how'd she ever get past two dudes down below?). Johnny will promise to look for Tom - start the search by going E for another event battle. This battle will teach you about stock gauge and double attacks. Collect 3RD.STELLARS: CURE from the ground and check the explanation for Stellar Charts. Triangle menu has been updated: - ITEM - HEALING [!] - STELLAR CHART - CUSTOMIZE - EQUIP CHART - EQUIP - PERSONAL - ABILITY - SNAP CARDS (Johnny's exclusive) - HANDY TOOLS (Johnny's exclusive) - PROFILE - PROPERTY - INVENTORY - KEY ITEMS - ITEMS - STELLARS - STELLAR CHART - WEAPONS - ARMOR - ACCESSORIES - SNAP CARDS - SKILL LIST - STELLAR MAGIC - HANDY TOOLS - LIBRARY - MONSTERS - CHARACTERS - SCORE - HELP - OPTION - DATA - SAVE - LOAD Don't go to 3rd floor yet - walk down the W corridor and nab ITEM: THERA LEAF from chest, then enter nearby door to '2F Audience Seats' (west part). Defeat the thugs and collect ACCESSORIES: LEATHER BELT from chest. Leave the room and back to Nancy - now waltz all the way E (ignore the door for now) and check dead end downstairs for a battle. After you win, collect ITEM: SEAL OF LUCK from the ground. HINT: Seal items permanently raise a statistic. Always use them in battle and try to hit "strike area" to get the best result. There's nothing to be found down E corridor - enter the door we ignored before into '2F Audience Seats' (south part) and defeat the thugs on right side. Chest hides 4TH.STELLARS: AQUA EDGE. That's everything for second floor, so go back to Nancy and take the stairs to 3rd floor's '3F Aisle'. Check SE corner for a chest with ITEM: THERA LEAF, then walk down east corridor to defeat more thugs, enter the door to '3F Audience Seats' (east part). Now examine S portion of this seat section for ITEM: PURE LEAF, and you'll also find Tom here. During the convo an event battle against thugs will take place. After victory take Tom back to Nancy, but not before checking into '3F Audience Seats' (south part) - there's a chest with ITEM: TENT on right side. Now go back to 2nd floor and reunite Nancy with Tom so they can finally get the hell outta here. Take heed of fire escape door hint Tom will tell you about - if you tried opening that door earlier, it did no good. Back to 3rd floor, down W corridor, kick thugs' asses, save your game at SPN and open fire escape door to enter 'Emergency Stairs'. Open the door on the top to find your man in 'Marlowe's Room', but not all goes well... kolardamir.com/shftnw/04-thundelicious.avi ******************************************************************************* BOSS BATTLE BOSS01 DEEP ONE -------------------------------- STATISTICS 1 --------------------------------- HP | MP | PATK | PDEF | SATK | SDEF | AGL | LUCK | EXP | CASH 160 | 82 | 42 | 9 | 21 | 19 | 13 | 10 | 50 | 1000 -------------------------------- STATISTICS 2 --------------------------------- SOUL | CALORIE | COIN | ATTRIBUTE | WEIGHT 0 | +3 | 1 Mackerel | water | ????? ----------------- ITEM ------------------------------ RARE ITEM --------------- none | none ---------------------------------- MOVELIST ----------------------------------- 1.

Outside Worn-Out Giraffe will talk to you and give you ITEMS: LOTTERY TICKET, then immediately invite you to play lottery with him - he is LOTTERY.MEMBER.#12. You need to stop the bar on one of colored areas of judgment ring in order to win a prize. Judgment rings will differ between members: some rings will have no special effects, some may have bars that spin faster than usual, some may have colored areas that are visible for split second and then disappear etc. Red area award can be won only once. Also, equipment you wear has no effect on speed of ring's bar. And finally, game will let you recognize lottery members only if you have at least one Lottery Ticket on you. LOTTERY Ring : Normal Judgment Ring MEMBER Red : 9TH.STELLARS: GALE ROD #12 Yellow: ACCESSORIES: LEATHER CAP Blue : ITEMS: DAPHNE FRUIT Green : ITEMS: PURE LEAF Miss : ITEMS: TISSUES If you don't succeed in getting Gale Rod, reload and try again.

After you bag Gale Rod, leave the screen for world map. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ------------------------ CHAPTER 01 IS NOW CONCLUDED! ------------------------- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- --------------------------- CHAPTER 02 - G'S SCHEME --------------------- CHP02 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- New map location appears: - WORLD.MAP.POINT.#4: ARKHAM UNIVERSITY -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- ARKHAM UNIVERSITY -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Items info: Talisman of Luck, Mirage stellar, Pure Leaf, Pedometer, Thera Leaf, Cure stellar, Seal of Life, Tent, Soul Benediction, Lantern ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walk N for a scene. Why does John wonder about walking around with a crazy guy? Yet he can walk around with a hot sexy lady that wears almost nothing? Afterwards check the monument's base for ITEMS: TALISMAN OF LUCK, then walk W to NESC. Loot the chest in SW corner for 10TH.STELLARS: MIRAGE, and try to open the door. Return to monument screen - before the uni's entrance is a chest with ITEMS: PURE LEAF. E of the monument is SPN. Save your game, then walk E to NESC. After the scene Foley will give you ACCESSORIES: PEDOMETER. HINT: Wearing Pedometer while you're in dungeon will slowly accumulate steps. After you've acquired specific amount of steps, return to Foley and exchange step amount for these prizes: 500 steps - ITEMS: THERA EXTRACT 1000 steps - ITEMS: MANA EXTRACT 2000 steps - ITEMS: PURE EXTRACT 4000 steps - R.ITEM: HIT AREA EXPAND 8000 steps - R.ITEM: STRIKE AREA EXPAND 9000 steps - ACCESSORIES: ULTRA BELT 10000 steps - ARMORS: CHARRO PASSION Except for Charro Passion, none of the rewards are worth your time. So keep walking until you have 10K steps, then return to Foley to get the armor for Ricardo - Foley will auto-give you the armor after he's seen that you have more than 10K steps on Pedometer. If you try to open the wooden door with 'CAUTION' word on it, you'll be stopped by pitch black darkness. We'll return here in due time, for now enter the uni at last. On 1st floor go thru E door to enter the lab, then search the bookcases on N side for ITEMS: THERA LEAF. Entering W door will take you to the library - search the bookcases for 11TH.STELLARS: CURE, and then head out for 2nd floor of the uni. On 2nd floor enter the W classroom and talk to Curious Harris (sits in first row) to ask about Gilbert's location. Door we tried opening outside the uni is the door leading to Gilbert's study room, so let's go examine it again. Before you elave the classroom check SW corner for ITEMS: SEAL OF LIFE, and SE corner for ITEMS: TENT. Leave the uni and go check that silly door - still won't budge. Return to uni's 2nd floor, but this time enter E classroom. Check prof's desk for ITEMS: SOUL BENEDICTION, and talk to Knowledgeable Jefferson to learn of another entrance into Gil's room. Go back to the lab on 1st floor and steal KEY.ITEMS: LANTERN on top of prof's desk. Leave the uni and you'll be greeted by shop guys again. Buigen will now offer Stellar Chart Realigning... What? Just check the tutorial. When you have loads of cash, make Buigen visits a frequent habit because you can make some pretty powerful magic setups that way. Buy any provisions you may need from Gerard, esp some Shell Bracelets to ward off poison.

You begin in 'Corridor' - save at SPN, then go N, W... You'll fall into event battle with a tutorial on Combos. After battle carry on W, then S, W, open the door, NESC. You'll come to a small room with locked N door - this shall be 1stcross. Yes, I'm sure the key will just be laying around... search NE corner for ITEMS: TALISMAN OF LUCK, then take W door to NESC. Go W, then N, operate the lever, go N, W, NESC. Go W, scene, John will flip a lever at 2ndcross, event battle against 3x Gagu.

In order to get past the totems, you will have to answer a question - but before you do that, you need to search the valley for mural/s which contain/s hints for totems' questions. Go W from 1stcross, open chest for ITEMS: TALISMAN OF LUCK, then examine the 1st mural - it shows sun, 2 hares, 2 deer, 1 hunter and 1 frog on the picture. Return to the totems and say "We saw it already.", then answer the question pertaining to the mural you saw (you will get different question each time, that is the question I got may not be the question you get). If you asnwer wrongly, you'll be returned to the start of current valley you're in. Once you give the correct answer, totems will allow you to pass on to 'Second Valley'. Go N, open chest for ITEMS: PURE LEAF, N, see a scene, N, see another scene with Hisakitiamisi totems - another question will be presented after you have seen the murals in 'Second Valley'.

Walk N to run into Nayenezgami totems, 5thcross, walk W to 6thcross, N, get the chest for 19TH.STELLARS: RED NOVA. If you walk along the right side of this part of the area, you'll see a speech bubble with meat appear above John's head. This denotes a place where you can put down one of the baits Nvwoti gave you for UMA hunts. We'll return to UMA hunt in the moment, for now let's gather all the items there are. Back to 6thcross, SW, 7thcross, W, 8thcross, check 9th mural with fish, bird, fish, cattle, bird animals (in this order), then more W to find a dead end. Examine the right side for ITEMS: THIRD KEY. HINT: Third, Fifth, Seventh and Eternal Keys are very potent items, allowing you to dish out some serious damage if you manage to strike all hit areas. As such they're very rare to find, so you should save them for sticky situations. Back to 8thcross, go S - if you walk along left edge, another bubble with meat icon appears above John's head (ignore it for now as well) - 9thcross, S, open chest for ITEMS: SOUL BENEDICTION, see 10th mural with fish, fish, hare, cattle animals (in this order).

Press X, then Natan comments about huge footprints and asks if he should lay the trap here. Confirm, then put down Honey trap (as per Nvwoti's hints). BTW, either of the two meat-bubble-areas work.

Check the closets on right side for ITEMS: PURE LEAF, and then examine the breaker board. What does all that stuff mean, anyway? Let's find someone who has a clue about these things - hmm, Smith might know something about it. In exchange for information Smith asks you to deliver a message to Murdock, then he tells you clues about breakers. "To the right of the breaker switches there should be numbers on each line. Those indicate the correct amount of amps. So each of the breaker switches is set for 1 to 6 amps of electricity. In short... The total amps designated by the switches should be the same as the numbers written on the right." Go see Murdock and relay the message. Murdock know the amps of the switches on first row: "From the left, they should be assigned 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 amps." You'll need to relay same message to Peck. Peck's knowledge about breakers is: "I know the second row of breakers. From the left, they went something like 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1." More message delivering needs to be done - this time you need to see Baracus (he's in cells where you ran into Prison Guard foes). Baracus has this info for you: "...Third row. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 from the left. That's it." Now return to 'Control Room' and let's take care of breakers. When you examine the board, choose "All right, let's give it a shot!". Depending on amount of tips you heard, you can review them while examining the board. There's multiple possible solutions, and I have provided three solutions per row. Just choose one and you'll be on your way. - 1st row: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th 4th, 5th, and 6th 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th - 2nd row: 1st, and 6th 3rd, 5th, and 6th 3rd, and 4th - 3rd row: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th 4th, and 6th 2nd, 3rd, and 5th After you set the correct amount of amps, the N steel door in 'Before Front Gate' opens. By the way, if you missed getting snaps of Prison Guards, now's your chance - mess up in setting up the amperage to fall into event battle against Prison Guards. Afterwards make use of SPN in 'Before Front Gate', and check that your water stellars are equipped, as well as Bell Bracelets to guard against Seal. Open the door and face off against next boss. ******************************************************************************* BOSS BATTLE BOSS04 RONWEI -------------------------------- STATISTICS 1 --------------------------------- HP | MP | PATK | PDEF | SATK | SDEF | AGL | LUCK | EXP | CASH 700 | 256 | 82 | 20 | 39 | 25 | 17 | 15 | 600 | 2800 -------------------------------- STATISTICS 2 --------------------------------- SOUL | CALORIE | COIN | ATTRIBUTE | WEIGHT 45 | -10 | 1 Mackerel | fire | ????? ----------------- ITEM ------------------------------ RARE ITEM --------------- P-Attack Down 1 - 100% | Strike Expand - 100% ---------------------------------- MOVELIST ----------------------------------- 1.

Cast Aqua Edge to chrs who don't have water magic, and have them attack Ronwei with physicals. Have Shania change into Thunderbird and cast Arc Gale, or switch into Tatan'ka and cast Arc Rage / Arc Surge to give yourself fighting edge.

In SE corner you can find ITEMS: TENT, and make sure to check out the vending machine, where you can buy new weapons for everyone. Exit the hotel, take E exit and you'll be at Roswell base. Get close to the gate for a scene - aren't getting in that easy, are we? Back to previous screen and find Neuro near the gas pump sign. There's a truck that comes by weekly into the base, and at just this moment this very truck is coming around... go back to base's entrance, choose "OK, let's get on!" and voila - you're inside Roswell base! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- DUNGEON 005 ROSWELL RESEARCH BASE -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Enemy info: No.018 Sirius (3 Snaps, 1 Mackerel) No.019 Betelgeuse (3 Snaps, 1 Mackerel) No.020 Acteon (3 Snaps, 1 Mackerel) No.021 Procyon (1 Snap, 1 Mackerel) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items info: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HINT: Pocket Watches are very good to have for this dungeon.

Begin in 'Service Entrance' - climb small incline next to N door and loot the chest for 40TH.STELLARS: RAISE UP, then enter N door into 'Service Corridor'. Use SPN, and take another N door into 'Research Room 1'. Here you'll meet Morrison, who gives you KEY.ITEMS: KEYCARD.NO.1. Check NE corner of the room for ITEMS: THERA SEED. If at any time you forget how doors work, talk to Morrison for a refreshing update. Take W exit and a scene occurs. At the moment you're in 'Central Laboratory'.

Take N exit into 'Corridor'. You will now be encountering enemies. Go right, and loot the chest on end for ITEMS: DAPHNE FRUIT. Enter nearby door into 'Research Room 2'. In SE corner you can find RING ITEMS: HIT AREA EXPAND, and then talk to Nebra and (Chuck) Norris (NW corner) to obtain KEY.ITEMS: KEYCARD.NO.2. Don't skip talking to Zett for a vague clue - a word "GRAY" seems to be of some value to us. Take W exit back into 'Corridor' and leg it for W exit into one more 'Corridor' section. Check N door to enter 'Culture Plant' and see a scene with Britney... #10 WAY OF THE NINJA QUEST, pt.1 You'll get KEY.ITEMS: SECRET.MESSAGE. Britney wants Frank to look for an item *she's* supposed to look for. That is all you can do at the moment, carry on. ITEMS: SEAL OF WISDOM is yours when you poke around the tubes, and you can find KEY.ITEMS: KEYCARD.NO.3 laying on the floor in NE corner. Enter N door into 'Research Room 3'. On left side is a chest with 56TH.STELLARS: SURGE. If you talk to Kelback, he complains about losing his keycard (which we already picked up) in 'Culture Plant' (were you to return there now, you would see a sparkle in NE corner). Talk to Musset to learn the word "MEN". Open the E door to enter 'Corridor'. Walk S, E, pass the T-junction and when corridor curves S again, check the corner for ITEMS: MANA SEED. Return to T-junction and go N. You can't use the N-most elevator yet, so enter the other door - welcome to 'Control Room'. Loot SW chest for ITEMS: LOTTERY TICKET, and check with shop guys - same stuff as vending machine in the town. There's a hangar in NE corner - check the right side of catwalk for chest with ITEMS: 5TH.RING.FRAGMENT. Take the stairs to upper floor for a scene and meet Morrison's bro. In order to release the sealed elevator, you have to know a 3-part-password. You've already learned of two words, and somewhere in the base is a person that knows the third. BTW, the hint for today's password is "Alien". In far W end of the room is a chest with 57TH.STELLARS: HEAL, and check between two empty seats to the right of this chest for ITEMS: TALISMAN OF LUCK. Now you'll have to backtrack all the way to the 'Central Laboratory' - it was where Hilda was locked up. Take S exit into yet another 'Corridor' and hike W. Open the door to enter 'Storage'. #10 WAY OF THE NINJA QUEST, pt.1, continued The Secret Message from Britney was writing about storage room, three colored tanks, and X marking the spot. Along N wall you can see three drums - blue, red and yellow. Blue one has an 'X' on it... so that must be the place where THE thing is hiding... BTW, there is no '?' bubble that pops up, you must be at correct location and press X. You will obtain SUPER.SECRET.ITEM: ATOMIC BOMB, which you lose just as quickly. Instead Frank learns new special ability: - 2ND.NINJA.ART: SEISMIC WAVE (light phd, line-med, ground, 7hit, kd, 36 MP) There's a chest in SW corner with ITEMS: TENT, and by checking middle stack of crates you can win RING ITEMS: SLOW 1. Talk to Zurich to obtain third and final word "LITTLE". Back to 'Control Room'... Examine the largest monitor and you're prompted to enter the password - pick "Try and enter the password" and enter the correct password. These are the choices you're offered by computer: - 1st part: "LITTLE", "FAT", "THIN", "TALL", "ROUND" - 2nd part: "BLUE", "GREEN", "GRAY", "PINK", "GOLD" - 3rd part: "FISH", "CATS", "WOMEN", "DOGS", "MEN" - Morrison's bro tells you that the clue to correct password is "Alien". - Clues you obtained by talking to people are: "GREY", "MEN", & "LITTLE - Therefore, the correct password order is: "LITTLE", "GREY", "MEN" Tadaah - you've unsealed the elevator! Exit 'Control Room' into 'Corridor' and enter the elevator to be taken to "Weapon Dev. Dock'. Finally SPN! Heal yourself and make sure everyone that will fight has Pocket Watch equipped, as well as earth stellars (boss' weakness).

And Hilda's in for a surprise - you've gained command of her special skills, Magic Arts. Thorn Whip ability is just what Shania ordered for this battle! Earth spd with knock down effect - combo it together with other powerful spells from your repertoire (Rock Bump is a good choice) for some big damage, and be sure to end the streak with Red Nova so you remove the stock boss gained while assaulted. Don't allow it to double on you as it can KO a member easily.

Enter your 'prison' and open the chest for reward from your torture shenanigans (in my case I got Third Key). Be sure to check the small bowl for 62ND.STELLARS: SHIELD. From SPN go S to pass under 'Pirate Island' arch and you'll get to the beach. *imagines things* If you slowly walk S, you'll see a chest on left side of screen, which would otherwise be obstructed from view by the big barrel - open the chest for RING ITEMS: PARALYSIS 1. You can't go further S cos pirate Rivera is blocking your path, so return to previous area and go upstairs. Ship is off-limits for now, so enter the cabin thru blue door and you'll scare the ass out of Soriano. Poke around the left lockers for ITEMS: LOTTERY TICKET, then exit the shack and walk around it - check the ye-olde-washing-machine for ITEMS: PURE SEED and waltz N to next area. Walk along the path for a scene (path is blocked by two pirates), then turn around and head for the big barrel at the beach. It appears somebody is sleeping inside - check the barrel for a scene with pirate Galbez. Now Shania has the info she needs, and you can take care of the two guards. As you're walking past the shack, a scene occurs - path to the sunken ship is free.

'Bow of the Boat' has SPN, and if you ever wanna go back on land, check the nearby boat - but at the moment you're stuck here. Climb the stairs and enter the door to 'Deck'. Climb another set of stairs and on W-most end of ship loot the chest for ITEMS: THERA SEED, then examine the strange thing nearby to obtain WEAPONS: MARLIN SABER. Go back dowh the stairs and try going E over the deck. A scene kicks in, and Shania notices a boat up in the air which needs to be lowered to cross the gap. Nearby capstan will do the trick, but you need a pole of some kind. Open the hatch to the left of capstan to enter 'Fore Hold'. Directly S from the ladder is a chest with 63RD.STELLARS: RAGE, then walk left into other part of the hold and open the chest (against N wall) for ACCESSORIES: MIRROR BRACELET. Take E door into 'Mid Hold'. Nothing to find here, so carry on E into 'Aft Hold'. Here you'll bump into shop guys - they sell new armors for everyone, and buy at least three more Mirror Bracelets. In addition you can buy Seed items now, which provide better results than Leaves you've been using so far. Continue E still for a scene... why look, it's the sacred area you need to get to. You need to find the ship's helm in order to turn the rudder, who won't cooperate at the moment. When you regain control - there is a chest just below the opening with 64TH.STELLARS: HAIL SOLID. Along N wall is a chest with RING ITEMS: APATHY 1. Enter nearby door and walk up the plank, then examine the tools to obtain KEY.ITEMS: DECK.BRUSH. Prod into shelves to find ITEMS: MANA SEED. Now go back to that capstan on 'Deck' and use Deck Brush to lower the boat. Cross the gap and enter E door into 'Upper Aft Deck'. In SE corner is a chest with ITEMS: DAPHNE FRUIT. Walk along S edge and screen will shift to show a hole in the wall. Walk thru to enter another portion of 'Deck', then climb the ladder and you can turn the helm at last. Let's go examine the rudder - go down the ladder, into the hole of 'Upper Aft Deck', and take W exit. When you return to 'Deck', event battle against 3x Heinz takes place. Afterwards go below deck and all the way W to enter 'Deep Interior'. Save your game at SPN and I advise reaching lv17 for your main party. When you're ready, equip Shania with Poison 1, and Pocket Watch. Approach the huge blue door, and then open it for next boss. ******************************************************************************* BOSS BATTLE BOSS06 LA SIRENE -------------------------------- STATISTICS 1 --------------------------------- HP | MP | PATK | PDEF | SATK | SDEF | AGL | LUCK | EXP | CASH 300 | 168 | 102 | 25 | 50 | 34 | 20 | 20 | 2000 | 4200 -------------------------------- STATISTICS 2 --------------------------------- SOUL | CALORIE | COIN | ATTRIBUTE | WEIGHT 75 | +10 | 1 Octopus | ????? | ????? ----------------- ITEM ------------------------------ RARE ITEM --------------- Strike Expand - 100% | Orca Statue - 100% ------------------------------------ NOTES ------------------------------------ - Enemy Action Number: 4 turns -> Lottery Ticket - Enemy Action Number: 5 turns -> Tent - Perfect Ring Rate 100% -> Whirlwind ---------------------------------- MOVELIST ----------------------------------- 1.

Boss will likely cast Barrier to reduce spd taken which we shall counter by casting Arc Surge on Tatan'ka. Sirene is susceptible to Poison so if you manage to stick it onto her, more power to you. Battle is essentially trading blows between Shania and her opponent - you'll need to heal after taking 2~3 hits and don't forget to remove boss' stock once it accumulates. kolardamir.com/shftnw/10-lasirene-battle.avi ************************** VICTORY!

It makes a home out of sunken ships in the ocean. It supposedly lays eggs that look like red moss. It hates sour things, and if you put sour things in its nest, it will get angry and attack you."

Read UMA Info in Natan's Personal menu for more on Tiho - the moss should be red, yet Natan doesn't say anything about color of the moss which makes this a wrong spot.

Feather Bracelets will shield you from Mental Breakdown. Because Ric comes installed with Arc Cure, you can have him tossing healing every round or when it's needed - be careful as boss has lots of area spells. When battle draws to a close, foe buffs itself up with Surge, so make sure you maintain Arc Barrier. Now's also a good time to combo together some attacks and finish it with Flame Mine CM (or end it with Red Nova). If you slip up and let boss use double on you, expect to see about 75% HP drained from targeted members, so be sure to keep enemy's stock in check. Pound on the boss with fire spells (Ric's especially useful), or give physical combatants Heat Edge status in order to quickly bring down Malice's HP for another boss victory. ************************** VICTORY!

Check SE pillar for ACCESSORIES: VINE BRACELET, then approach the circular slab on N wall for a scene. There's a depression for something to be inserted. Take E stairs to run into shop guys - Gerard sells new armors, and do buy some Vine Bracelets as well. Opposite to shop guys is a corner where meat bubble icon appears, but that is the wrong location cos there are bird feathers left next to hooked nails prints, meaning this was a place where UMA has dined already. Take W stairs and an explanatory scene rolls - game explains how to progress in this dungeon by using pyramid's features. When the floor lights up, the corresponding door opens - however, you have to move quickly once the floor is activated cos the door closes otherwise and you have to try again.

Bell Bracelets will shield you from Seal. Do bring two chrs that can cast Arc Cure and healing probs are taken care of. It's hard to combo on this boss since it likes to launch hard hit attacks against party. Anyway - since it's light based, cast Evil Eye / Evil Shade magics for some quick mincemeat. In second half boss buffs itself with Barrier, but Arc Surge will ensure that damage cut becomes insignificant. ************************** VICTORY!

HINT: Make sure someone wears Warning Device to keep your chrs from getting ambushed too often. In addition, equip Leonardo's Bears on everyone. 'Outside' - when you enter Machu, watch few scenes. Afterwards don't enter the ruins yet - turn around and examine SW corner for ACCESSORIES: LEONARDO'S BEAR, then walk around N wall to find the chest with 103RD.STELLARS: ARC GALE. Enter the ruins into 'B1 Three Windows'. Like with Chichen, first room will be a tutorial on how to navigate thru the dungeon. Walk past SPN and a scene occurs - you'll come to a door which is half blue and half red. There is a blue altar on left side, and red altar on right side of the door. When John presses blue switch, blue light on the door will go out, so that mean that the light with same color as the switch will be turned off when the switch is pressed. Walk to red switch and press it to turn off red color - again, the light responds to the color of the switch, and the same colored door then opens. Walk N into another section of the area. Walk W and Johnny will notice a big mask on the wall - you'll obtain KEY.ITEMS: GOLDEN.MASK from the chest. Notice how a mask icon with red left eye and blue right eye appeared in upper right corner of the screen? Going thru middle N door bears no fruit, instead mess with yellow switch. Pay attention - mask icon's eyes will change color once yellow switch is pressed. You now have yellow left eye and red right eye - in short, mask's eyes are of same color as the last two switches you flipped. Also, one of the switches (in this case blue) has been reset - in these ruins you can only have two of them flipped at once. Natan recaps: "The three doors in this room cannot be opened all at once." Enter right N door and collect ITEMS: ANGEL SOUFFLE from the chest. Return to three switches and flip blue one, then take left N door and enter another part of ruin's outdoor sceneries. There is SPN here, so save your game - W from SPN, hidden from view and behind the wall, is a chest with ITEMS: SEAL OF LIFE. Examine the plants near SPN for 104TH.STELLARS: RAISE UP. Walk along N wall, and when you come to ruined part of wall (just above shop guys' motorbike), sniff around here for ITEMS: 9TH.RING.FRAGMENT. Next, examine the NW corner (nearby you'll find entrance to 'Hall of Condor', but you don't need to go there just yet) and loot the chest for ITEMS: THERA ROOT. Head back to SPN and descend nearby stairs to find shop guys - they don't offer anything new. SE from their position is a chest with ITEMS: SEAL OF AURA, and SW from their position check the rocks for ITEMS: LOTTERY TICKET. Take the stairs S from shop guys and say hi to 'B1 Hall of Condor - right area'. S, 1stcross, W, flip green switch, E, 1stcross, S, W, flip red switch, E, N, 1stcross, W, S, W, thru red/green door, screen switch to 'B1 Hall of Condor - center area'. W, S around the corner, E around the corner, screen switch to 'B1 Hall of Condor - right area'. E, loot the chest for ITEMS: MANA ROOT, W, screen switch to 'B1 Hall of Condor - center area'. S around the corner, E around the corner, flip purple switch, turn around, N around the corner, walk all the way N, W around the corner, N around the corner, thru red/purple door, loot three chests for ITEMS: PURE ROOT, RING ITEMS: SP-DEFEND DOWN 2, & 105TH.STELLARS: ENTRANCE. Turn around, thru red/purple door, W around the corner, S around the corner, walk all the way S, W around the corner, flip yellow switch. Turn around, E, E, N around the corner, take next E corridor, screen switch to 'B1 Hall of Condor - right area'. E, N, thru yellow/purple door, E, flip red switch, E, N, 1stcross, E, flip green switch, S, W, thru red/green door, screen switch to 'B1 Hall of Condor - middle area'. E, S around the corner, walk all the way S, at the bottom turn W and keep walking until you bump into yellow switch - flip it. Turn around and keep walking E, then flip purple switch. Turn around, W, N around the corner, E around the corner, screen switch to 'B1 Hall of Condor - right area'. E, N, thru yellow/purple door, E, N, 1stcross, N, upstairs, you're outside. Walk to NW corner and enter 'B1 Hall of Condor - middle area' (more specifically, SW entrance into it), E, flip blue switch, thru blue/purple door, S around the corner, W around the corner, flip yellow switch, turn around, N around the corner, walk all the way N (past blue/purple door), turn W, N, W, thru blue/yellow door, screen switch to 'B1 Hall of Condor - left area'. S, E, open the chest for ACCESSORIES: SMALL JUG, W, N, downstairs into 'B2 Hall of Sun'. Save at SPN, then try walking into N-most green flame gushing out of the wall. From your position go to NW end and flip red switch there. The red flames went out, while green and blue flames still remain. Leg it for NE end and loot the chest for 106TH.STELLARS: GALE BLAST, then pay a visit to E end and flip blue switch - blue flames will get extinguished, but red flames come back. In other words, the flames of the same color as the switch you flip become extinguished, but you can only extinguish one color at a time. So by flipping green switch, you'll make it to the exit. Make your way to W end and nail the chest with ITEMS: THERA ROOT. To reach green switch, you have to go to SW end - once flipped, blue flames come back, but green flames say buh-bye. Before making a smashing exit, visit SE end for a chest with 107TH.STELLARS: ROCK BURST. Return to SPN to save your game, then walk N, and go downstairs to 'B3 Stair Landing'. HINT: Due to storyline reasons, you won't be able to use Shania for next boss battle, so take off her cloth... I mean accessories. Walk N for a scene and event battle against 4x Xi Dazun and Xantak. After the battle Shania leaves (NOOOO!), so you'll need to pick a replacement. One more event battle against same enemies will erupt. Afterwards check SW corner for ITEMS: FRUITY FIBER and walk N into 'B4 Corridor'. Follow the path, then go right at T-junction, collect the chest for ITEMS: DAPHNE FRUIT, return to T-junction and go left for a scene. Make sure you use SPN to save your game, equip Shell Bracelets on everyone, then descend into 'B5 Altar'. ******************************************************************************* BOSS BATTLE BOSS09 KERUFE -------------------------------- STATISTICS 1 --------------------------------- HP | MP | PATK | PDEF | SATK | SDEF | AGL | LUCK | EXP | CASH 2380 | 474 | 209 | 48 | 89 | 52 | 32 | 33 | 10000 | 6300 -------------------------------- STATISTICS 2 --------------------------------- SOUL | CALORIE | COIN | ATTRIBUTE | WEIGHT 130 | +10 | 5 Scallop | wind | ????? ----------------- ITEM ------------------------------ RARE ITEM --------------- Strike Expand - 100% | Shark Statue - 100% ------------------------------------ NOTES ------------------------------------ - Enemy Action Number: 8 turns -> Dancing Samba ---------------------------------- MOVELIST ----------------------------------- 1.

Afterwards get to center of the lift to be auto-taken down in front of pyramid's entrance. Enter the structure for a scene, and you'll find yourself into '1F Maze'. Walk up for a tutorial scene on how to navigate the dungeon. John will step on elevator in attempt to get it to move, but no Shania - then Ric notices a switch nearby and activates it. Doing that will also lit up one quarter of the elevator - in other words, just one switch isn't enough. You need to find four of them per level to fully activate the elevator. Press R1 to bring up Navigation map - 4 red dots denote the 4 switches you need to activate. Use SPN if you need to. Other three switches are in NW end, NE end, and SE end - all together will fully power up the elevator. Before taking it, examine SW end for a chest with 110TH.STELLARS: HEAT RESIST, and E-most end for a chest with ITEMS: TALISMAN OF MERCY. Hop on elevator to reach '2F Maze'.

When John steps onto it, it will form a bridge leading you to N part of this room. Cross the bridge, then turn E immediately - step onto another pattern to activate a portion of the bridge, then collect ITEMS: ANGEL SOUFFLE from a chest to the N of this pattern. Return to first bridge you activated and walk W to loop around the room along N side. On the way check out the chest for RING ITEMS: SEAL 2. You'll reach another pattern which you need to step onto.

Vine Bracelets will shield you from apathy, and bring two chrs that have Poison ring items equipped. Keep attacking Daoros until it suffers from deadly poison and it'll eventually kill it. Don't forget two chrs that can cast Arc Cure, so healing probs are taken care of. Daoros has a repertoire of Arc spells which it will use like no tomorrow to buff it and [??????] up. [??????] himself will frequently lower your PATK and SATK, so counteract it with Arc Rage and Arc Surge, respectively. Use combos of Red Bounce (or physical with high angle), followed with Red Nova (or similar) against Daoros, and combine physicals with high angle, followed with Hail Solid against [??????]. When you do it correctly, [??????] will fall in about 2~3 such attacks. [??????] has brutal physical strength, so don't let it double on you or perform a combo with Daoros (same goes for it).

To gather some info, you'll need to look for Mia's father first - he can be found in Times Square. Go there, then talk to Leon (man wearing a hat) - one day he left the shop to go home and left the cleaning to three of his workers (Wells, Randy and Taffy). Next morning the cat was gone... since Leon claims the cat is a coward and won't go out by itself, that means one of three workers must have taken it. Wells can be found somewhere in Times Square, Randy in Chelsea and Taffy in Harlem. Keep going N until you bump in Luchella (woman in black skirt) - talk to her and she reveals that she's LOTTERY.MEMBER.#05. LOTTERY Ring : Up Judgment Ring MEMBER Red : 122ND.STELLARS: CURE PLUS #05 Yellow: ACCESSORIES: FORCE BROW Blue : RING ITEMS: STRIKE EXPAND Green : ITEMS: PURE ROOT Miss : ITEMS: TISSUES Be sure to win Cure Plus from her. Leave for world map and come back immediately. Another person appears just below "SPARKS" shop sign and that is Ramirez - he just saw Wells standing further down the street. Leg it there and talk to Wells - John will interrogate him about the cat and this is what Wells says: "First off, I can tell you for certain it wasn't me. I was the last one to leave that day, but the cat was already gone, you see. Have you talked to Randy and Taffy yet? They're both liars, so watch out." Okay, go to Chelsea. Past the black car, near the lamppost, you'll see Olga. Talk to her and inquire about Randy, who enters the scene. When interrogated, this is what he says: "I was the last one to leave that day. But I don't remember whether the cat was there or not when I left... Even I think that sounds suspicious. Guess that means I must be the culprit. Hahahahah! You're gonna go talk to the other two, right? Wells is a lying dog, but Taffy, he's an honest guy. Remember that." And now for Harlem. At the street corner you'll bump into Deson. Talk to him to ask about Taffy's whereabouts - enter the alley and you'll now find Taffy here. Interrogate him and this is what he says: "There's no way I could be the culprit. See, I was the second one to leave, and when I did, the cat was still there. Wells is the suspicious one. Randy's honest, so... It has to be Wells, right? Return to HQ. Talk to Lenny and choose "I'm going to go over my info." At next prompt go over all three stories you heard until John says he can't figure it out. Lenny advises to go talk to Leon again. Back to Times Square. Talk to Leon and ask about workers' personalities. All three have a strange thing in common - even though they all normally tell the truth, when they do lie, they all only tell out-and-out lies. In other words, when they lie, they tell complete lies, otherwise it's the complete truth. Return to HQ, talk to Lenny and choose "I'll name the culprit!" for a series of questions: - Q: How many of them are telling the truth? A: Only one. - Q: Who was the last one in the shop? A: Wells. - Q: Who's the guilty one? A: Taffy. Go to Harlem once more and look for Taffy in the alley. Talk to him and he'll confess about being guilty.

Feather Bracelets will shield you from panic, and Will Powers prevent loss of SP from boss rephys. Bring two chrs that have P-Attack Down and Sp-Attack Down ring items equipped - doing so will help you lower the damage boss can dish out. Don't forget two chrs that can cast Arc Cure, so healing probs are taken care of. Combine physicals with knock down, followed with Bright Decide against [???????]. Evil Crest lowers PATK by 30%, so stick it to the boss with magic attacks. Don't let boss double on you, or face Gathering and then some serious punishment from boss. Help yourself by using John's newly acquired special ability. ************************** VICTORY!

HINT: Buy a healthy supply of Extract items, and acquire all four Crucifixes. 'Study' - examine the W painting and choose "Sprinkle it with holy water." -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- OPTIONAL DUNGEON 005 PURGATORY -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Enemy info: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Items info: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Hall of Selection' - John finds himself alone in a big room. There are six doors to choose from, and each door has a unique color - colors correspond to elemental affinities of the six missing chrs. So purple color denotes Shania, white color denotes Frank and so on. HINT: Behind each door you'll find 3 unique random enemies and a boss. Once you beat the boss, you cannot return to that part of dungeon, so make sure you snap everything before challenging the boss. Naturally I'll go and rescue Shania first - her Sanlittobell skill is invaluable. So choose purple door first and let's dive.

Tempest -------------------------------- BOSS STRATEGY -------------------- party: lv65 A few tips and pointers... - have a decently leveled party, at least lv65+ - include Curvy Hilda cos she has Full Bloom skill, the only way to completely heal everyone (Tirawa's Shining Zephyr and Arc Cure just don't suffice) - have Crucifixes equipped (failing that, at least Pocket Watches) - Jealousy begins with full stock, so remove it ASAP - never let it gain any stock, or its double attack will reduce your numbers and you may even face a defeat in battle - never cast any buff spells (not even during combos), or Jealousy counters with Lost Progress; this is bad for two reasons - one is that your buffs are void, and other is that boss gains some stock - equip stellars with hard hit property - once boss loses 75% HP, it'll cast Spirit Ward to remove one chr from battle - before it can cast Spirit Ward, start a big chain to reduce as much of its HP as possible - don't forget to shoot the boss for its snap card ************************** VICTORY! CONGRATULATIONS! ************************** Once boss croaks, you'll acquire ETHER PURGE skill. HINT: If you get KOed during battle with Jealousy, you will not receive Game Over - instead you're returned to Garland Residence. If you want to, you can retry the boss battle... but you have to do entire Purgatory again from scratch. You keep the stuff you acquired during first trip, though. That was the final subquest of the game. All that remains is to enter The Gate and defeat the final storyline boss duo. Make sure you take their snaps so that your Snap collection becomes complete.
