With his dying words, the dark lord left a curse upon the land of Europe that enshrouded its inhabitants with desires of cruelty and has been the cause of many deaths over the past three years. The people's hearts are now influenced by darkness as they gave in to the curse. Formely in league with Lord Dracula, the Devil Forgemaster, Hector, who previously gave up his dark powers, now seeks revenge upon a fellow Devil Forgemaster known as Isaac for falsely accusing his beloved of being a witch, and thereby orchestrating her death. Hector sets out for Dracula's Abandoned Castle in the land of Valachia to seek revenge for this tragedy. There he will find Isaac and confront him. But in order to face Isaac he must first reawaken his dark powers that he gave up long ago. This guide will give you a full walkthrough for the main game, revealing every item contained within and all secret areas to help you gain 100% completion. The walkthrough section has maps of each area outlining the paths that I am describing. The maps are sometimes a little off here and there, so be sure to use your in-game map as well. As in my other walkthroughs, I have stayed away from anything dealing with the plot, but if you consider boss names a spoiler, then tread carefully. Please enjoy this FAQ and give me an email if you have any questions, comments, or if you find anything that I missed. Any comments, suggestions, questions, etc. are always welcome. Email me at berserker_kev@yahoo.com. Also, if you find any errors in this FAQ (I don't care how little of an error), then please email me about it. + + + ++++++++++++++++ ~~ "Then this is the hour of your death!" ~~ +++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++ - Curse of Darkness (2005) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ___ Se/ __\tion II [BS00] ~/ /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ / /___ ++ BASICS ++ \____/urse of Darkness ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ + Controls ~~~~~~~~~~ ++ Default Control Setup X: Jump Square ([]): Attack Triangle (/\): Innocent Devil Action Circle (O): Final Attack/Steal (Lock-on)/Examine L1: Reset Camera L2: Change Lock-on Target R1: Guard R2: Enable/Disable Lock-on Left Analog: Move Character Right Analog: Move Camera Start: Display Character Menu Select: Display Map R1 + []: Launcher [] + X: Flying Uppercut Launcher D-pad Up: Cycle through Innocent Devil settings D-pad Down: Cycle through Innocent Devil settings D-pad Left: Cycle through Innocent Devil commands D-pad Right: Cycle through Innocent Devil commands ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + Hector's Skills ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hector will gain many skills throughout his journey that will improve his combat and allow access to new items. Please note that all of these skills must found in a stage before you can execute them. Quick Step ---------- Location: Abandoned Castle Hold the Guard button, then press any direction and tap the Jump button to quick step in that direction. Hector will roll or flip in the direction pressed. Please note that I will sometimes refer to this as "roll" or "sidestep". Double Quick Step ----------------- Location: Abandoned Castle This is another variation of the Quick Step, but will allow Hector to add another flip behind the first quick step. His first quick step will also have no lag after gaining the Double Quick Step, which one should take advantage of. Perfect Guard ------------- Location: Baljhet Mountains Perfect Guarding can be intiated by blocking the second right before an enemy attack connects. Hearts will be gained for each successful perfect guard. Every move in the game can be perfect guarded against whether it is blockable or not. Steal ----- Location: Baljhet Mountains To steal from an enemy, use the use the Lock-On button to target an enemy then wait for the cursor to turn purple then press the Final Attack button while standing next to the enemy in order to steal from him. Most enemies' window of steal will only open while they are perfoming a specific animation. See the enemy section to find these specific animations. Marker Mode ----------- Location: Garibaldi Temple The Marker will allow you to open the map and place an "X" in an important area. I will use this frequently in the guide and will ask you to place a certain color mark on your map so there are no questions as to the location when I go back over it in the backtrack section of each stage. Here are the controls for the Marker: X: Place mark /\: Erase mark []: Change color Left analog stick: Move map Right analog stick: Tilt/Rotate map R1, R2: Zoom Out/Zoom In L1, L2: Cycle to mark O: Info ON/OFF Start: Enter/Exit marker mode ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + Innocent Devils ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Similar to the Familiar feature in previous Castlevanias, Innocent Devils are summoned creatures that will help the main character in battle. Innocent Devils can be found in Devil Forges throughout the game and will assist Hector in a variety of ways. Hearts are the main power source for Innocent Devils. Their current life is displayed in hearts and each time you use an ability that consumes hearts or the Innocent Devil is hit, it will lose life. When an Innocent Devil's life gauge is fully gone it will revert back to soul form and will only be able to follow Hector by his side. Collect hearts to replenish their life gauge and revert them back to material form if they sustain too much damage. Finding Innocent Devils ----------------------- Innocent Devils are found in certain stages behind a green door, which represents a Devil Forge. Enter the Devil Forge and Hector will use his powers to awaken the Innocent Devil contained within. Using Innocent Devils --------------------- On the character menu (pause menu), choose "Summon" to display your current Innocent Devils, then choose one to summon that Innocent Devil. While the Innocent Devil is summoned, change his settings from "Auto", "Command", or "Guard" using up of down on the D-pad. Auto = Innocent Devil will act on its own and attack the enemy using any abilities that it wants. Command = Innocent Devil will still attack randomly, but will not use an ability unless ordered by the player. Guard = Innocent Devil will defend itself and will not attack. Cycle through the Innocent Devil's current abilities using left or right on the D-pad and press /\ to issue a command. Chain Attacks ------------- Some Innocent Devils will add an attack to the end of any of your attack combinations by performing a single press of the final attack button when the "Chain" word bubble appears during the final attack. Leveling Up Innocent Devils --------------------------- A summoned Innocent Devil will level up along with Hector as he defeats enemies in battle. The Innocent Devil's heart capacity will increase per level, stats will increase, and it will learn new abilities depending on the number of enemies defeated. Some restrictions apply on the abilities for some Innocent Devils (see ID section). Innocent Devil's Status Enhancements for Hector ----------------------------------------------- Each Innocent Evil that Hector summons will affect his status depending on the Innocent Devil that he chooses. Pause the game and press the right shoulder button for a display of the current ID's statues enhancements for Hector. Look toward the bottom for a blue box with a Hector sillouette similar to the below diagram. +--------------------+ | +STR ??? -> | | +CON ??? -> HECTOR | | +LCK ??? -> | +--------------------+ The extra stats are also displayed under Hector's stats near the middle. Evolving Innocent Devils ------------------------ An Innocent Devil will be given the opportunity to evolve into another form with new abilities once enough evolution crystals have been collected from defeated enemies. The crystals will be available in five different colors and will determine the path that the Innocent Devil will evolve. The evolution crystals collected from enemies will depend on the current weapon that Hector equips. Red = Sword Green = Spear Blue = Axe Yellow = Knuckles White = Special The evolution path for each Innocent Devil will vary depending on the type. Eventually an Innocent Devil will reach a point to which it cannot evolve anymore. To turn off an Innocent Devil's evolution, choose "Summon" under the character menu and press right or left while an Innocent Devil is selected to enable or disable the evolution of that particular Innocent Devil (Crystal selected = Evolve, Crystal not selected = Do not Evolve). Breeding New Innocent Devils ---------------------------- After gaining a certain amount of levels and fighting a certain amount of enemies, each Innocent Devil type will produce a Devil Shard that can be used to incubate a new Innocent Devil. The new Innocent Devil will start from the beginning of its evolution cycle. Breed new Innocent Devils from the Devil Shards at Julia's Shop in the Bahjhet Mountains. Storing Innocent Devils ----------------------- Hector can only hold a certain amount of Innocent Devils at a time, so Julia will allow you to store Innocent Devils at her shop. She will keep them for you until you decide to take them with you. Extra ID pockets will allow Hector to carry more Innocent Devils and finding a new Innocent Devil will allow him to carry more as well. Innocent Devil Chart -------------------- Location: Baljhet Mountains Once this item is gained, you will be able to view the various Innocent Devil charts for each Innocent Devil type in the main menu by pausing the game, pressing one of the shoulder buttons, and choosing "Chart". This will show you the different paths that an Innocent Devil can evolve and what weapons and how many crystals are needed to evolve it along said path. An Innocent Devil's chart will be filled out as you evolve each type. Some Innocent Devils require a certain weapon in order to evolve them to a specific evolution. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + Hector's Move List ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Normal Sword and Axe -------------------- Stepping Slashes (A) Energy Wave (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Jump Slash (A) Spinning Overhead (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Stab (A) Spinning Slash (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Upward Slash 2 (A) Sword/Axe Throw (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Upward Slash (A) Handle Strike (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Horizontal Slash (A) Large Sword ----------- Thrust (A) Ground Stab (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Side Slash (A) Blade Twirl (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Upward Slash (A) Spinning Ground Smash (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Horizontal Slash 2 (A) Force Stab (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Overhead Slash 2 (A) Blade Ram (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Overhead Slash (A) Fencing Sword ------------- Overhead Combo (A) Stepping Mega Thrust (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Hopping Slash (A) Rapid Thrusts (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Side Slash (A) Needle Ground Stab (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Thrust 2 (A) Sliding Stabs (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Thrust (A) Low Slash Combo (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Overhead Slash (A) Large Axe --------- Overhead Smash 3 (A) Axe Spin (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Side Slash 2 (A) Uppercutting Ground Pound (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Overhead Smash 2 (A) Axe Plow (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Side Slash (A) Upward Strike (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Overhead Smash (A) Knuckles -------- Overhead Kick (A) Burning Ground Smash (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Backhand (A) Ground Spin (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Roundhouse (A) Rapid Jabs (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Overhead Punch (A) Spinning Jump Kick (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Straight Punch (A) Sliding Punch (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Backhand Roundhouse Combo (A) Hammer Punch (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / Jab (A) Special ------- The special weapons all have unique moves that can be performed by by tapping the Attack (A) button. Most of them are single attacks. ++ Gatling Gun Rapid Fire (Hold A) Hector will fire a stream of bullets at the area directly in front of him. You can turn him to the sides slowly as he fires by holding to the left or right. ++ Bomb Bomb Blast (A) Hector will leave behind a bomb in midair. Three of these can be left at a time. A bomb will go off after a few seconds or when an enemy touches a bomb. ++ Boomerang Boomerang Throw (A) Hector will throw the boomerang and it will fly either upwards, downwards, or straight toward the left side. The boomerang will not return. ++ Fire Flask Fire Bomb (A) Hector will throw a fire flask and the flask will break apart engulfing that area in flames. The flask can also be broken on a wall and the flames will fall to the ground. ++ Shuriken Shuriken Throw (A) Hector will throw three shurikens at the enemy. The range is not that great, but you can keep rapidly throwing shurikens without stopping. All three shurikens thrown will take damage from the enemy. ++ Hien Punch Combo (A, A, A) Hector will do a three hit punch combo with the tonfa-like weapon. ++ Spike Shield Shield Smack (A) Hector will swipe the area in front of him with an upward strike. ++ Bat Homerun Swing (A) Hector will rear back and deliver a powerful bat swing to the enemy. This will almost always knock down a standing enemy. The delay before the swing is quite long. ++ Electric Guitar Play Stance (A) Hector will jam on the guitar and enter a play stance. From the Play Stance, you can do the following... Guitar Jam (A, A, A) The first attack will actually send Hector into play stance if he is not already there. Hector will jam on the guitar a total of three times. Once while standing, once while bent over, and one while holding the guiatar behind him. Guitar Bash (FA) This can ONLY be done while in Play Stance. Hector will lean the guitar back and bash it over the enemy's head.

I have also noted certain enemies that you should steal from while on your journey through the stages. If you intend to make some of the best items in the game, then I would suggest that you steal from each enemy that has an important material the first chance you get. With that said, now onto the walkthrough! [WT01] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Stage 1 ~ Abandoned Castle ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And so the curtain opens on a new installment of the Castlevania series... ++ Abandoned Castle - First Floor When the beginning cutscene ends, head to the _____ ____ north to collect a few items.

Follow the I I / \ narrow path along the mountainside and at the I^I / \ end you will find a ++POTION++ and possibly I I ( ! ) another item. If you have a Castlevania: I^I \___/ Lament of Innocence save on your PS2 memory I I card then you will find the ++MOAI++ stone at I^I the end of the path as well.

Konami purists | | should recognize the statue head from Gradius | | since it appears in a number of Konami games. | | Head back to the south and reenter the \____ ____/ Abandoned Castle. I I Walk up the steps to where Isaac was standing earlier and open the door. The door behind you will block off and, as you step forward, an Executioner will knock down the wall up ahead and attack. Use combos with the attack button to finish him off quickly. You can only chain four button presses at the moment, but that will change later. During the normal attack combo, press the Final Attack button to end the combination with a hard-hitting attack. The animation will differ based on how many normal attacks you chain. Use the Block button to guard his attacks if he leans back and tries to hit you. Once he is disposed of, the door in the area will be unbarred and a ++MEMORIAL TICKET++ will fall from the ceiling up ahead. Enter the blue door up ahead to save your game. Throughout your quest the blue doors will be a sign of a save room. They will appear as red rooms on your map. Choose to "Register Memorial Ticket" to designate that room as your save room to warp to if you use a Memorial Ticket. You will need to constantly reregister your Memorial Tickets throughout your journey if you choose to use them. ~~ 10.09% ~~ (map continued from above map) __________________I I___________________ I ___________ _>__>__>__>__>__>- I I I |S| IvI I ~~~~~~~~~~/ (_) I I I ~~/_____ _____ IvI I I I I____________________I I I I I I = ____________________ I IvI I I I_____I I__ __I I I I I I I IvI I I I I I I ___I I _____ _I I_ -v-___ I I I I____________________I I I I B1F< I >B1F ____________________ I I !

Fight them off and grab the ++QUICK STEP++ skill from the middle of the room. This will allow you to quickly roll or flip out of the way of an attack while guarding. Press a direction and the jump button while guarding to have Hector quickly move in the corresponding direction to avoid an oncoming attack. Walk up the stairs on the south side.

Fenrirs will teleport in front of you and attack. Use normal strikes and you should be able to knock them down with the final hit of the combination. While they lie on the ground helplessly, beat them down with constant attacks. Some Skeletons will attack near the end by the west door. Head to the west to find some more Skeletons and a save room on the south side of the wall. Keep heading west and go through the door at the end. On the other side, grab the ++ABANDONED CASTLE MAP++ from the middle of the area. Now most of the map will be filled out for you. Head down the path to the south while fighting Fenrirs and Skeletons then enter the door. (next map continued from above map [west side]) You will be sealed inside of an area with Skeletons and a Cyclops. _IvI Focus most of your attacks on the Cyclops and take him out quickly / I__ since he poses the biggest threat. Be sure to block when he leans ( v | his club back. After the Cyclops has been defeated the doors will \__ __/ unseal. Enter the door to the south. The treasure chest to the _IvI_ right side cannot be opened just yet. Head into the greenish door I I to the south for a cutscene. This is one of many Devil Forges and I v I they will always be behind a green door. After the cutscene, you I_ _I will gain the ~~FAIRY-TYPE INNOCENT DEVIL (ID)~~. The IDs IvI throughout the game are fueled by hearts. Their life gauges are I I composed of hearts and many of their abilities will drain their IvI life gauge so you must always collect hearts to replenish their / \ life. Now you will be able to collect hearts from some candles as ( ! ) well as enemies to give your current ID energy. An ID cannot die, \___/ but they will revert to soul form if they take too much damage. While in soul form, they will merely follow Hector and will not be able to perform abilities. Collect hearts to restore them to their material form. They will gain experience as you do. The Fairy-type can be set to "Auto" or "Command". Auto will allow her to act on her own, while Command will give you control over her. Use the D-pad to select between the different settings and commands. Press the Innocent Devil Action button to issue a command to your ID. For more info, see the Innocent Devil section under the Basics section. Go ahead and name your ID then go back to the area with the treasure chest. When you go back outside, press the Action button near the treasure chest with the Fairy-type ID equipped, to have her open the chest and reveal the ++DRAGON CREST++. Now you need to go all the way back to the very first save point at the beginning of the Abandoned Castle. ~~ 23.85% ~~ When you get back to the first save room, take the west path this time. In the water, Mermen will attack. Once you start to hit them, it will completely stun them, so attack frequently to keep them from rolling or clawing at you. Walk through the water and head south to the door at the end. Grab the ++POTION++ and place the Dragon Crest on the door to unlock it. The doors will bar off in the next room and you will be forced to face an Executioner with his posse of Skeletons. Defeat the Executioner first while remembering to block his attacks then go for the Skeletons. After the battle, grab the ++BESTIARY++ from the middle of the room. This will open up the "Bestiary" menu under the main pause menu. There you can view all the enemies you have faced thus far along with information about each of them.

Fenrirs will try to gang up on you in the next area. Take the path to your right as you enter (west path). Fight through the Skeletons and Fenrirs and enter the door off to the left side. Barrels of wine will cover the entrance to the room up ahead. Attack the barrels to find some ++WINE++ (maybe two) and ultimately reveal a room containing a ++POTION++ and a treasure chest containing an ++ALUMINUM++ material. These materials will be helpful soon. Exit the room and continue moving south. Keep moving through the doorways until you reach an area where you must defeat some Ghosts to unbar the door ahead. You might want to head through the path that you didn't take earlier on the north side if you want more map completion. Enter the doorway to the east after you have defeated the ghosts. ~~ 47.70% ~~ Enter the first door on the right on the south _____ _____ side.

Go to "Combine" below the "Equip" menu to be able to combine materials to make weapons and armor. You should have enough materials to make a leather armor and helmet. Walk up the newly formed ramp to find a treasure chest up ahead. Open the treasure chest to find an ++I.D. EVOLUTION CRYSTAL++. This will allow your ID to evolve based on what weapon you have equipped. For a full explanation on this visit the Basics section. Walk around the side and enter the door on the east side. A few Zombies will attack in the next room. Watch for their sudden unblockable grabs. Enter the corridor up ahead then continue to the next room. You will run into more Zombies eventually. Head to the west. In the third room, Wizards will attack. Hit them before they have a chance to cast their spells. Continue to the south and you will be trapped in a room with Zombies and Skeletons.

This is when the Zombies will start their yellow vomit attack. If you touch the vomit pool then you will take damage. Chain two normal hits then use the sword throw finisher to hit them while they stand in their vomit. In the second big room, the doors will seal off and you will fight a swarm of Zombies and Skeleton Blazes. The Skeleton Blazes have some tough defense so you will have to hit them quite a few times. Once you defeat the enemies, don't go up the stairs to 2F just yet, continue to the north and go through the next few rooms until you reach the next set of stairs at the west end. In the third room you'll find a ++POTION++ along with some Zombies and a Wizard. The fourth room has a bunch of Zombies inside along with a chair to the right of the 2F stairs. Different chairs can be found throughout the game and sat in in order to collect them all in one room later in the game. Go ahead and take a seat in the **THERAPEUTIC CHAIR** to gain credit for finding it. Don't worry, it's not killing you, I promise. Go up the stairs to 2F when you're done. ~~ 70.64 ~~ ++ Abandoned Castle - Second Floor In the first room, you'll run into _____ _____ one of the more common enemies in / \_________________________/ \ every Castlevania - the Armor Knight ( __-____________ __________- ) (most call them Axe Knight).

Grab the ++DOUBLE STEP++ skill from near the 3F stairs. Don't go up to 3F just yet. Enter the corridor to the south and save your game in the save room. Enter the next room to the south if you want to boost your map completion. The stairs in the south room will only take you back down to the first floor. Remember that room where I told you not to go up the stairs in earlier on 1F? Well, it will lead you to that room. Go back to the stairs that lead to 3F and go up them. ~~ 80.73% ~~ ++ Abandoned Castle - Third Floor This floor is pretty straightforward _____ _____ since there are no extra rooms.

Stay away from the White Dragons and defeat the Skeleton Blazes first then use some air combos on the White Dragons. Enter the next area to find a familiar looking staircase covered with red carpet that leads to the top floor of the castle complete with a full moon view in the background once you reach the top. This sight will make any Castlevania fan's blood boil. Ah, time to fight Dracula already my friend! Just kidding...or am I?

Boss doors (O_ Boss __<__<__<__<__<__>3F will always have a red door complete with a I_____I |S| skull on the front to let you know that you (_) had best save before you enter, since there is big battle ahead. Save your game in the save room and walk through the door. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss 1 - Crazy Armor + Level 9 + HP: 1330 + Weakness: Thunder + Tolerance: N/A + Steal: Galtite (Boss Rush Mode ONLY) ++ When to steal: When he drills his head into the ground, you have to steal from his back. He does this attack rarely. (Boss Rush Mode ONLY) First fight: Try to have some sort of armor and helmet equipped and this battle will be a breeze, even if he hits you a bunch. Use your Fairy-type to heal yourself if you start to suffer a bunch of damage. With the way this battle starts out, you better be ready to move or block. The boss will almost instantly try to hit you with a weapon strike. He will do a mix of overhead and horizontal strikes throughout the battle (sometimes in a row). Thankfully all of his attacks can be guarded against for the first battle. Strike him after each attack and watch his arms for the next swing. With his vertical strikes it is better to guard rather than dodge them, since they clear an entire section of the room. He also has an attack in which rotating gears shoot out of his mouth, which can be easily blocked as well - he usually does this attack up close and will pause before the attack. Second fight: During the second fight, all of his attacks can still be guarded against, but some of them will eventually break your guard if you block too much. He will spew flames from each head that is connected with a gear - it is best to get away from him when he starts this attack since it has a bad habit of breaking your guard. As the battle progresses he will start to get more flame-happy and will nearly fill the whole room with flames. He may eventually shoot fireballs, which can be easily avoided by running around or you can block them. Hit him whenever he is not attacking and you can take him down the second time even faster than the first. Crazy Mode: On Crazy Mode, this boss is much more difficult the first time you fight him, mainly because he hardly ever staggers and he will mix up his attacks to where you will never know if he is about to do a one, two, or three hit combo. Be sure to equip a small sword or knuckles for this fight so you can recover quickly after an attack. Block his side attack and roll to the side then attack during his overheads. Attack sparingly because you can't afford to get hit that much at all. When he reaches his second bar he will start to do the move where he will bury his head gears into the floor thankfully, so you can dodge this and get some hits while he recovers. The second fight is not that bad at all as long as you stay away when he flames the area around him and block or quick step away from the fireballs. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ When the fight is over, heal yourself by stepping into the blue glow that appears on the floor next to the Gondola that rises from the floor below. Go back and save your game and then come back and enter the Gondola to ride down to the next stage. Sitting in the Gondola will also credit you with the **GONDOLA** chair, which you will find later in the game in the chair room. ~~ 99.08% ~~ ++ Backtrack to Abandoned Castle [ ] The rest of Abandoned Castle will not be complete until after Stage 8.

A cutscene will play then you will receive the ~~ATTACK-TYPE INNOCENT DEVIL~~. This ID will be a lot more active in battle when an enemy is encountered compared to the rest of the IDs. He also has a setting called "Guard" that will set up a small force field allowing him to deflect any oncoming attacks. You can also get in the force field and allow the ID to protect you. The force field will fade in time. This is also the first ID that will allow you to chain attacks. Press the Final Attack button at the end of a combo when a bubble with the word "Chain" pops up to have the ID attack the enemy with a special attack. Leave the Devil Forge and head across the bridge, ___ then to the south. Defeat the Lizardmen along the ___ / \ path and if they drop a Jet Black material, combine / \ I !

We will need the Bird- type ID with the "Glide" ability in order the get that chest. You don't have a marker just yet, but you will want to mark this area with a --GREEN MARK (Bird- type)-- for backtracking purposes once you get the marker. Approach the door at the bottom of the hill and it will seal off as you approach it. You'll be forced to fight a Cyclops. Defeat him while avoiding or blocking his attack then enter the area through the door. Grab the ++PERFECT GUARD++ skill on the pedestal inside. If you played Lament of Innocence then you will know that a perfect guard is achieved by blocking shortly before an enemy attacks. This is a timing issue and will require you to know an enemy attack well. Perfect guarding will give your ID hearts for each successful perfect guard. If you can learn to use it, it will assist you greatly. Please note that ANY move can be perfect guarded, even unblockable attacks. ~~ 25.26% ~~ Head back to the path that you were just at and head further to the west by taking the third path. You'll come to another split path that will be guarded by Lizardmen and an Orc. Travel on the northeast path if you want to complete your map (it will lead you back to the beginning) and enter the west path to advance further into the mountains and to watch a cutscene. Grab the ++POTION++ near the large iron door (that cannot be opened just yet) then open the yellow door to enter the first of many warp rooms. The warp is not active yet, but you can sit in the chair to gain the **WARP ROOM CHAIR** for later. Warp rooms will always be labeled as as a green room on your map. Exit the warp room and head to the north. The east room is a save room and the door on the west will lead you to Julia's Shop. Grab the ++MAGICAL TICKET++ next to the door of Julia's Shop and walk inside. You will be returning to this shop quite a bit on your journey. Grab the ++BALJHET MOUNTAINS MAP++ to the right near the counter and see what Julia has to offer. Stock up on Magical Tickets and Memorial Tickets since these will help you out greatly for teleporting to different areas quickly. Julia will allow you to store, take, remove, and create new types of Innocent Devils as well. See the Basics section for more info on this.

Press the Final Attack button while locked on to an enemy in order to steal from them when the cursor turns purple. You will have to wait until certain animations in order to steal from most enemies. Check the Enemies section for a complete rundown of all the items that you can steal from every enemy. Don't forget to always try to steal from bosses, since they carry some exclusive items most of the time. When you reach the path ahead, you will need to fight through a few Axe Armors and Wizards in order to open up the doorway at the end. Defeat the Wizards first so they will not heal the Axe Armors just like in the last stage. In the next area, run toward the gun that is firing at you. When the target turns purple roll or run out of the way of the gunfire. Chop through the Orc in your way and attack the skeleton on the gunnery seat. Hop onto the chair and fire at the cannons on the sides of the castle wall ahead. After enough damage, they will eventually explode. Turn your attention to the barricade on the castle bridge next. Fire at the barricade and the orcs behind it. A group of Axe Armors will appear after the Orcs have been defeated. For sitting down in the gunnery chair, you will gain the **GUNNERY SEAT** later in the game. Enter the castle. Inside the castle walls, a group of Axe Armors and Orcs will attack as the doors seal off. Save your game at the save room along the path ahead. Fight off the Orcs to open the doorway at the top of path. Skeleton Blazes will appear but you don't have to fight them.

Efreets will sometimes try to grab you as they I^) die and explode with you in their hands. Rotate the analog to get away from them. You'll come across a save room as you battle Skeletons up the side of the mountain. Save your game then enter the next path. A single Efreet will try to stop you. Walk up the side of the mountain while battling the Lizardmen to find a boss door at the top. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss 2 - Wyvern + Level 14 + HP: 1900 + Weakness: N/A + Tolerance: Fire + Steal: Shortcake + When to steal: When the Wyvern sticks his head in the dirt, jump on his back. He will start to fly and carry you extremely far up in the air. The purple marker will appear after about 7 seconds while in the air. Steal from his neck and you will fall back down to the ground to continue the battle. Be sure to equip the boiling ring if you have it, so the boss's fire attacks take less from you. This boss can only be hit in his head. Air attacks and ground attacks both work well for damaging him. He has a variety of attacks, but will only pull some of them off after his life gauge has been taken down halfway. At the start of the battle, he will mainly use his tail swipe and ground pound, both of which can be avoided by blocking. He does an occasional bite every now and then as well (he will rear back much like the tail swipe before he does this). When he buries his head in the dirt, rush up to him and attack his neck. After you steal from him, he will no longer bury his head into the dirt. When his life has been taken down halfway, he will become more aggressive and start to fly. When he flies around in the air he will swoop by and breathe a trail of fire twice in a row and then land - keep running to dodge the flames. When he lands he will send out a slight shockwave in that area that will hit you if you are close. While on the ground, he will sometimes rear his head back, which means he is about to breathe fire in the area around him. To avoid the ground fire, be sure to run away from him (toward the screen) once he rears his head back. His fire attacks can be blocked but they will break your guard with the first hit allowing the rest of the attack to hit you so it is best to avoid them. Crazy Mode: Other than the fact that the Wyvern will have tons of life, he is not any harder if you block his attacks. Be sure to take advantage of when he buries his head into the ground. Get on his back and attack him the whole time he flies in the air. You can do this quite a few times up until he reaches his second bar; then he will stop. Stay away from the flames as usual and you shouldn't have any problems. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After the fight, step in the blue glow to refresh yourself then go through the exit boss door. ~~ 86.31% ~~ Backtrack Checklist for Baljhet Mountains [ ] GREEN MARK 1 (Bird-type) - Right before the area where you got the Perfect Guard ability, jump to the top of the two platforms then use your Bird-type's "Glide" ability to reach the treasure chest on the other side.

Behind the door, you will find an ++HP MAX UP++ on the pedestal in the back of the room. ~~ 87.36% ~~ [ ] BLUE MARK 1 (Water Drain) - Go to the area with the bridge in the Baljhet Mountains to find that the water has drained and you can now gain access to the cave in the back of the drained lake.

As you enter the next tunnel, open the door to the right to find an ++XS POTION++ on a pedestal inside. Fight through the Thiefs and enter the next door down the tunnel to find a ++DARK CRYSTAL++ on the pedestal inside. In the very back of the tunnel, go through the doorway and then the door on the left as you walk into the next tunnel to find the **PANCHINKO** chair inside, along with a ++DRAGON SCALE++ on the pedestal.

Don't enter Garibaldi Temple just yet. Go around the south side then jump and break the cracked wall on the side of Garibaldi Temple to reveal an ++HP MAX UP++. Run around the north side to find a ++MAGICAL TICKET++. Enter Garabaldi Temple afterwards. As you walk into Garabaldi Temple, Bone Soldiers and a Cyclops will crash through the windows and the doors will seal off. Fight them off then enter the north hall. Flea Men will attack as you walk into the hall. Make sure to guard when they leap toward you to block their jumping attack. Use your Attack-type's Aura Blast to quickly clear your current area of Flea Men. They can get quite vicious so watch your life bar closely if you get hit a bunch and heal appropriately. Start with the northwestern path once the hall splits. Fight through the next swarm of Flea Men and enter the north most room to find some Armor Knights and Flea Men guarding a chest. Equip your Attack-type ID and use Aura Blast to keep the Flea Men off of you while you deal with the Armor Knights. Use the Fairy-type ID to open the chest and reveal the ++MARKER MODE++.

Don't go in the first door just yet - enter the second door on the right. Flea Men and an Armor Knight will attack. Fight them off and grab the ++GARABALDI TEMPLE MAP++ from the back of the room. As you exit, please note that the door to the right will lead you back to the beginning, so you will want to go through the door on the left. An Armor Knight will be waiting in the middle of the corridor. To the west you will find a save room. Head to the south and enter the corridor then enter the room on the north side. Fight off the three Armor Knights then grab the ++POTION++ from the back of the room. Head back outside and enter the door to the east. Travel down the hall while fighting or avoiding the Flea Men and go down the south corridor. Ghosts will appear in the next corrdor. Enter the first door on the south side to find a room full of Ghosts and Flea Men. Grab the ++MEMORIAL TICKET++ in the back then exit the room. Travel to the end of the hall to find an ++UNCURSE++ potion. Head back to the save room and save your game and then climb the second floor stairs to the east of the save room.

Enter the room on the far southwest side. Defeat the Dead Fencer and Armor Knights first of all. Notice the cracked wall with a hole underneath it. In order to get back there you will need a Devil-type ID with "Magic Circle". You can't access this area yet, so place a --RED MARK (Devil-type)-- on your map in this area. Leave the room and enter the next corridor through the door to the northwest. In this corridor, you will run into the first few Blaze Master enemies. These are much like the Skeleton Blazes, but they are more aggressive and tougher. You should note that you steal a valuable material from the Blaze Master, but it is hard to steal and you will have a chance to steal this material much more easily in Stage 5 from Vassagos. To steal from a Blaze Master, you must perfect guard their flip kick and steal from them as they fly back from the perfect guard. They must have their back to a wall so that you steal from them as they fly back. They will give you Ceremonial Tools if you can withstand the tight steal window. Enter the room on the left (west) side to fight some more Blaze Masters and Fenrirs. The second wave of enemies will be Dead Fencers. Use your Fairy-type to open the treasure chest in the back to receive a ++CEREMONIAL TOOL++. You can most likely use this to make an Ada sword by now if you want. Fight through the enemies and enter the next hall to the northeast. Attack or run by the Blaze Masters and the Wizard and enter the next hall to the east. More Blaze Masters will be in the next hall. Stop by the save room on the way down the hall and save your game. ~~ 57.89% ~~ Go back in the hall, and head to the east. In the next corridor some Wizards and a Lesser Demon will block off the doors and attack. Take some time to steal some Spirit of Fuji materials from the Lesser Demons since this is the only place that you can steal it - steal as they spin toward you. Enter either hall up ahead and fight through the Lesser Demons and Wizards as you head toward the split hall then enter the far east hall. Spectral Swords and Phantom Swords will litter the next few halls. They can take damage rather quickly so look out for their sword swings. Save your game in the save room right before the boss door then enter the boss room for a cutscene. Try to have the best helmet (Gallic) and armor (Brigandine) that you can possibly get this early in the game and this battle will be easy since the boss won't be able to take off that much at all. ~~ 70.17% ~~ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss 3 - Trevor Belmont + Level N/A + HP: N/A + Weakness: N/A + Tolerance: N/A + Steal: N/A + When to steal: N/A For this boss you must learn how to dodge his attacks well. Trevor loves to run up and pressure you with combos and holy water. He will do a holy water attack from far, which will send a stream of white fire toward you that can be blocked. When he rushes in, he will do one of two combos. For his first combo he will start with his green whip and do three strikes and might end the combo with a circle of holy water. It is best to roll out of the way before the second or (for sure) third whip attack strikes you since you, sometimes, cannot guard it because his hits will make you stagger. For his second combo, he will start out with a few punches and then move into a series of kicks. The kicks can be guarded against, but not the entire combo, so you must roll out of the way as he starts the kick portion. All of the hits of each combo can be guarded, but NOT the entire combo as Hector will start to stagger after the third hit. Even the circle of holy water can be guarded against at the end of the whip combo if it is not in a series of blocked hits. He will be left open to your attack after each of these combos unless he finishes with the holy water. His fiery charge punch cannot be guarded - you will have to time a roll or jump so that you move out of the way right before he does this move. Like his combos, he will be left wide open to attacks after the charge punch. It will seem as if you are underleveled by the little amount of life that you take from him while attacking, but that is the way the battle is set up. After you have learned his moves, he is not hard at all. He will cease his attack after you have taken about 25% of his life. Extra tips: 1) If you have a Fairy-type with the "Poison Powder" ability, she will hit Trevor and try to poison him. The poison won't affect Trevor, but he will turn his attention on the Fairy-type, who cannot be hit, which will allow you the chance to get in some free hits. 2) If you can time your blocking so that you perfect guard any of Trevor's physical attacks then he will stagger and you will be able to attack him immediately afterward. To perfect guard the charge punch while close, wait until right after the "Haaaa!" and tap block when he yells "Uh!" and you will perfect guard the hit every time. The third hit of his whip combo is not too hard to perfect guard either. Block the first two hits and wait until right before the overhead swing of the third hit connects then tap guard. Crazy Mode: Trevor's whip attacks don't take off as much as you think they would. His holy water attacks are the main attacks that you will have to look out for. Make sure to watch for the holy water at the end of his whip combos when you go to hit him. Make use of perfect guarding during his combos and you should be able to take him down quickly. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ As usual, enter the glowing blue light to refresh yourself after the battle then continue ahead. Grab the ++MAGICAL TICKET++ and enter the door beside it. Summon your Battle-type ID and have him stand in the glowing red circle for him to learn the ++BRUTE FORCE++ skill. The Brute Force skill will automatically be bestowed upon any Battle-type that you incubate from now on as well. Leave the room and head to the right. Stand in front of the big iron door with your Battle-type equipped and have him use Brute Force to slide the door open. In the next room, a warp room will be on your right, but we don't want to enter there just yet since there's still a few items in Garibaldi that we need. You might want to run back and save your game before you go down to B1 since there are some tough enemies down there. Open the door across from the warp room and go down the stairs at the end to reach B1F. A few Slogras will attack along the way. Be sure to watch your life when fighting a Slogra since they can take it down quickly with some of their attacks. ++ Garabaldi Temple B1F Plenty of Skeletons and a few Thiefs will teleport _____________ into the area once you're in the first corridor I <__<__<__<__>1F of B1.

Enter the area beyond the door to find the next stage. ++ Backtrack Checklist for Garabaldi Temple [ ] RED MARK 1 (Devil-type) - When you have your Devil-type ID with you, return to the southwest most point of Garibaldi Temple and use "Magic Circle" to go under the crack in the wall. Enter the door off to the right to find a room filled with Armor Knights and the **COFFEE CUP** chair in the middle. Dead Barons will swarm the room after the Armor Knights are defeated and Thiefs will constantly pop up as well. Exit the room when you're done and head to the southeast door of the outside corridor. Walk to the back of the area overlooking the staircase and grab the ++ETHER++ material from next to the altar. Downstairs, Skeletons will constantly teleport into the area as you run down the ramp of B1. The door at the bottom will lead you to a corridor full of nothing but Blood Skeletons. Summon your Mage-type that has the "Purify" ability if you want to defeat some. These are level 75 Blood Skeletons, however, so they can kill you in seconds if you are low-leveled. You'll find a save room at the bottom area along one of the best places in the game to level up! Be sure to steal from these Evil Cores - target, hit them, then steal - since this is the only way to get some extra Dark Matter material. The Evil Cores will also randomly (VERY RANDOMLY) drop a Miracle Egg material, which you will definitely need if you plan to get the Pumpkin-type Innocent Devil later in the game. A Miracle Egg can easily take you over an hour to get from these Evil Cores, but there are other ways to obtain one (see Frequently Asked Questions). Be sure to save your game before you enter the boss door at the bottom. Inside the next room, you will fight the optional bosses - Legion and Nuculais. Good luck! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss (optional) - Legion + Level 52 + HP: 6900 + Weakness: Light + Tolerance: Dark + Steal: Pizza + When to steal: When you have knocked away all the dead bodies and the core is revealed, target the core, jump toward it, and steal from it. I would recommend that you be near level 50 before attempting this boss fight. For the first part of the boss fight you will need to destroy the mound of dead bodies that are covering the core. Go up the stairs (knock the zombies out of your way) until you reach the boss and hack away at the sides of him until the core is totally revealed. Zombies will be after you the entire time. They will race toward you while their head swells. You must not let them explode on you or it will take quite a bit of damage. As more of the core is revealed, the zombies will get faster and explode sooner. Have an Innocent Devil help you out on exposing the core to make the first part of this fight faster. Once the core is revealed, jump and hit it (or steal from it), to reveal the next boss. Don't stand below the core as it falls or it will damage you. Extra Tips: (Please note that not all of the list below is used in the first battle. Skip down to the Nuculais battle to see the uses of everything else) First, you need to bring a few things with you, - A Mage Type ID with the Floating B skill - Megingelos (accessory that increases damage as your health is lowered) - Sacrifice Brooch (accesory that sends any damage you take to your ID) - A Fairy Type ID for healing emergencies - and as many Battle Type IDs you can bring Get a Mage type ID with the Floating B skill and keep it on you. About 95% of the time, it'll keep any of the exploding zombies from reaching you while you pound away at Legion. Simple and efficient. Don't keep the Mage-type equipped while climbing the stairs however, or the zombies will hit it. (thanks to Biscuit) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss (optional) - Nuculais + Level 53 + HP: 8875 + Weakness: Dark + Tolerance: Light + Steal: Napoletana (this is a food item) + When to steal: As he begins to perform his grab attack, you must perfect guard his hand at the moment he hits you and then run up and steal while he is dizzy. For the second battle he will actually be in human form (somewhat) and will no longer be immobile. It's a good idea to use an Innocent Devil as bait for this battle. Set one of your battle-type Innocent Devil's to "Guard" and the boss will, most of the time, go after the Innocent Devil allowing you to attack him from behind. This boss has several attacks, most of which can be blocked. He will teleport around the room constantly. He teleports by jumping into lava and then rising out of the lava at another part of the room. The lava is blockable, but the irritating part about this move is the fact that it will sometimes catch you in the middle of an attack if you are not cautious while attacking him. If he jumps at any time, then get ready to guard or dodge. His other moves are a blade strike (blockable), a grab in which his arm will stretch out toward you (this must be avoided by rolling), several punches (he usually chains about 4 punches together, they can be blocked) and a move in which he will summon a bunch of dead bodies and hurl them at you. When he summons the dead bodies, block the first set that he throws at you, roll and quickstep from the second set and, for the third set, block the first few bodies, then roll and quickstep to avoid the move completely. He also has a purple beam that must be avoided as well (roll or run...A LOT). If you have your battle-type Innocent Devil in guard mode, step into his shield and it will protect you from the entire beam attack. Hit him sparingly throughout the battle and watch for his attacks. The only time that you can usually get a full combo in safely is when he recovers from a physical attack (punch, blade strike). Once he is down to his second bar, he will start to dig at the ground. Run up to him and combo the hell out of him while he searches through the floor. He will pull a dead body out of the ground and absorb it, causing him to grow to giant size. When he is like this, he will have very few attacks, but he can be extremely hard to hit without getting damaged. Each step he takes creates a shockwave on the ground (these can be blocked). When he jumps he will create a gigantic shockwave that will reach further than usual (jump to avoid it). Summon an Innocent Devil with a strong projectile move and have him fire upon the boss. Eventually he will shrink back down to normal size and the fight will continue as it was until you beat him. Extra Tips: 1) A bird-type Innocent Devil with "carpet bombs" can be extremely useful for this fight. 2) A Corpsey (battle-type) Innocent Devil will literally win the battle for you if you allow him to. His bone storm is especially useful. Set him to auto, or have him use his bone storm often. Hit the boss from the back as he tries to attack Corpsey. Don't forget to use Corpsey's guard if the boss does his beam attack. 3) Set your first Battle Type ID to guard and let him get you a little low on HP. This will give you a much greater damage rate on him thanks to the megingelos (I chose force glove as my weapon). Also, when you get sufficiently low on HP, equip the sacrifice brooch so you don't take any more damage as long as you have an ID out. Usually, he will be attacking the ID, but even if not, his attacks are fairly easy to dodge. When he gets big, the only strategy change you need is to start doing air combos to his kneecaps (another good reason to use force gloves for a big air combo). This part is incredibly easy if you make sure not to get caught by his jump attack. Keep at it, and he'll be dead in no time.

Walk to the edge of the bridge to start a cutscene that will lead into the boss fight. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss 4 - Skeleton Diver + Level 24 + HP: 3422 + Weakness: Fire + Tolerance: N/A + Steal: Sushi + When to steal: When the fish dashes toward you while up on the platform (and the skeleton is on the fish's back), double jump toward the fish at comes near and steal from the skeleton on top. This is a team boss fight. The skeleton and the fish will both attack you separately at some point. Usually the skeleton will start out by throwing spears at you. Guard against the spears or dodge them, both kinds of spears can be blocked (normal and fire). It is possible to hit the fish while he is in the water, but watch for the spears! If the fish comes up on the platform that you are on and races toward you, be sure to guard or roll to avoid its dashing attack. If you roll you can get a few hits in from the fish's side before he gets to the other side of the platform. The fish will eventually jump over the platform that you are on and do one of two things - either the skeleton will jump off and try to hit you with his spear or the skeleton will throw down spears at you. Immediately run up and combo the skeleton from behind when he jumps off for some free hits. The skeleton's attacks can be easily guarded but his combo attacks will cause you to stagger if you block them in a row, and might result in a hit. The skeleton's weak point is his back - if you can hit him in the back he will be stunned and open to a combo. The best opportunity to hit him is right after his spear lunge when he hits the ground. The fish may try to interrupt the fight by lunging out of the water directly at you - avoid him or block the attack. When the fish surfaces on the platform, he will either spray water around the platform or stagger around the platform while on his side and move toward you. The water attack can be avoided by rolling or jumping. If the fish moves toward you while on his side, only the mouth will be able to hit you, so stay on either side of him and hit him. Once the boss is down to only half of his life the skeleton will stay on the fish more often and throw spears so you will be forced to attack the fish. Extra Tips: 1) If you have a Battle-type ID summoned, especially an aggressive one (Speed Mail, Corpsey, or Liquid Golem with Magma Mode), it is possible to nearly trap the skeleton on the platform when he jumps off. If you can hit him in the back and knock him down, run over to him and keep attacking as your Battle- type attacks to double team him. Try to attack him from the opposite side of the Battle-type and he will not be able to do a thing. (Boss Rush Mode only) 2) The Bird ID Crimson's Ignition Blow will actually KNOCKDOWN Skeleton Diver if he is on the platform. Plus, it does double damage to him, as SkeleDive is weak against fire. As the fireballs are hitting him, you can get in combos. Fun. The fireballs will hit him as long as he is above water, but at one point after he takes enough damage on the platform, he will become invulnerable. Wait for him to get back on the fish, then resume fireballing, although he won't be knocked down. (thanks to whythecynic) Crazy Mode: Watch out for the fish's attacks! The fish can deal nearly 100 damage with each attack, but the Skeleton doesn't take near as much. Summon a Battle-type (especially Liquid Golem with Magma Mode) when the skeleton jumps on the platform and try to trap him on the platform for some heavy damage. Always be on the lookout for the fish's attacks while you attack the Skeleton however. Set your ID to "Guard" when the Skeleton is on the fish and wait for him to get off again. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ When the fight is over, run up the ramp that rises out of the water and head for the Devil Forge at the top. All the water in this area will drain toward the end of the game as well, so open your map and place a --BLUE MARK (Water Drain)-- in this area. Grab the ++SPIRIT OF FUJI++ material from near the wall and enter the Devil Forge for a cutscene. You will gain the ++BIRD-TYPE INNOCENT DEVIL++ after the cutscene. Go back outside and walk to the broken middle portion of the bridge with your Bird-type equipped then use "Glide" to fly back to the other side. Save your game at the save room once again then turn your attention toward the area to the left side of the boss' door (south area). You can now glide over to that area and enter the next stage through the doorway on the other side. If you want to, you can now go back to that save room that I told you to register your Memorial Ticket at and pick up an extra item from the other side of that cannon area. You can also go back to the Baljhet Mountains and pick up two extra items with the "Glide" ability. Use a Magical Ticket to go to Julia's shop to get back to the Baljhet Mountains quickly. If you want to make a later boss in Stage 6 much, much easier then go ahead and start evolving a Phoenix Bird-type and have him learn "Big Bang" starting now. ~~ 81.81% ~~ Backtrack Checklist for Mortvia Aqueduct [ ] GREEN MARK 1 (Bird-type) - In the area where you knocked down the tower to get to the other side, go to the side with the Bone Soldiers and use your Bird- type to glide over to platform on the east end. Use your Fairy-type to open the chest on the other side to reveal the ++BROOCH OF BONDS++. ~~ 82.72% ~~ [ ] BLUE MARK 1 (Water Drain) - Only try this after the Stage 9 boss fight. In the area with the standing water, as shown in the walkthrough, a door will now be in the east end. Enter the door and fight off the two Fishmen inside to open the next dooway at the end of the hall. You'll eventually enter an area with more Fishmen and some White Dragons. Defeat the Fishmen to unseal the doors then head south. The next room will seal off and tons of Fishmen will attack, so defeat them and be sure to make plenty of blood stains in the area. Fight off the White Dragons on each side to unseal the doors then enter the east side first. Run down the corridor ahead and defeat the two Fishmen to unseal the door at the end. Summon your Fairy-type in the next room then open the chest to find a ++DARK MATTER++ material. Go back to the area with two doors and enter the west end. Walk down the long corridor then enter the room at the end to find an ++AQUAMARINE++. Sit in the **TWO-SEATER SOFA** to the left side to get credit for that seat in the Chair Room. ~~ 96.36% ~~ [ ] BLUE MARK 2 (Water Drain) - Enter the area where you fought the Skeleton Diver boss behind the boss door in Mortvia Aqueduct. Jump into the area below, where the water was standing earlier, and walk around to the northeast side of this area. You'll find a chest next to the inner wall. Use your Fairy-type to open the chest and get an ++ANGEL HALO++. Jump along the steps in the west section of the middle area to get out. ~~ 97.27% ~~ You can gain the last bit of percentage after the Stage 9 boss fight.

The Forest of Jigramunt is not as linear as the other stages and has plenty of split paths that will lead you to items and other extra areas. When the cutscene ends, Vassagos will come after you and Sniper Orcs will attack from the back of the path. Steal some Ceremonial Tools from the Vassagos since you will need that material later - target them, uppercut them (guard + attack), and steal from them in the air. Take either path since they both lead you to the same area. More Sniper Orcs and Vassagos will attack down the south path and some Bone Soldiers with Vassago will be waiting further ahead. On the east path, Vassagos and Bone Soldiers will attack. Eventually you will reach an area where the door ahead will seal off and a Red Ogre will attack. Try to steal a Galtite from him if you can - stand close and wait until he jumps then jump and steal from him in the air. He's basically just like the Cyclops except he has a bit more life. In the big area with the lake to the side, plenty of Bone Soldiers and Vassagos will attack. Since there is water to the side, this area as well will drain later in the game, so place a --BLUE MARK (Water Drain) in this area on your map. Enter the save room to take a break then head through the northeast doorway. ~~ 21.21% ~~ You'll arrive at another split path. Take the south path. The first area has plenty of Bone Soldiers and a few Dark Warlocks. The second area will have three Assassin Zombies. These enemies are very aggressive and annoying at times. They will burrow under the ground and either try to hit you with their claws or hit you with an attack as they jump out. Be sure to sit on the **STUMP STOOL** in the area with the Assassin Zombies to get credit for that chair. Use the Indigo Steel material that you'll get from many of the upcoming enemies (item drop) to make you a better helmet, armor, and sword. If you took the north path, you'll run into the same enemy types. Either way, you'll wind up in an area where the doorway in the middle will seal off and Bone Soldiers, Warlocks, and a Thief will attack. Defeat them all then enter the doorway that opens. Fight through the Wolf Skeletons and Dark Warlocks in the next area then keep heading northeast. In the next area, the doors will seal off and you will have to fight some Dark Warlocks and Red Ogres. Make sure to defeat the Dark Warlocks first since they will stand back and heal the Red Ogres continuously if you don't. Watch your life carefully when fighting the Ogres. Pick up the ++FOREST OF JIGRAMUNT MAP++ from near the middle doorway. Take the east path in the middle once it opens. Wolf Skeletons will attack in great numbers along the next path. Follow the path all the way north and enter the next area at the end. The doorway ahead will seal off and you will be forced to fight a Basilisk. Another will attack once the door is unsealed. These are just like the Cockatrice from ealier in the Baljhet Mountains except they are a bit more powerful. Run up the stairs to find another Basilisk along with some Thunder Dragons and a very obvious ~~CRACKED WALL~~ at the end of the path. Attack the cracked wall and enter the cave. An Ectoplasm will float down from above as you enter. In the next tunnel, use your Fairy-type to open the chest and collect the ++AQUAMARINE++ material from the chest. There is another ~~CRACKED WALL~~ behind the chest so attack it to reveal an exit. This will lead you back to the Abandoned Castle. Enter the exit, however, to have it labeled on your map. Go back to the area with the Wolf Skeletons and enter the east path. Like clockwork, the doors will seal off and enemies will appear. Fight your way through the Wolf Skeletons and Thunder Dragons to open both paths. Walk past the two columns to the north to find a save point around the corner. Enter the northeast path to find The Tower of Eternity along with plenty of Thunder Dragons and Flame Demons around it. Try to steal some Phlogiston from the Flame Demons - wait until they try to claw you and block the attack then hit them with a jumping uppercut (Attack + Jump) while they recover, double jump while in the air from the uppercut, and steal. It sounds tougher than it really is. You'll need this material later. You only have to defeat the Thunder Dragons to unseal the tower door. The Tower of Eternity has 50 floors of nothing but enemies in each room and there is no way to exit the tower unless you have a Magical or Memorial Ticket. Make sure to register your Memorial Ticket at the outside save point if you decide to enter the tower. It's an excellent source for leveling up at the moment. If you're trying to evolve a Phoenix Bird-type, like I hinted at earlier, use the enemies in this area around the Tower of Eternity (the Flame Demons) to have your Bird-type learn "Big Bang" very quickly. If you can get this ability before the Stage 6 boss fight, you will have that boss eating out of the palm of your hand. Head back to the west path with the Wolf Skeletons and Thunder Dragons and enter the southeast path. ~~ 48.48% ~~ Along the southeast path, Dark Warlocks and Bone Soldiers will attack as the doorway seals off. Defeat them and continue to the south. At the very end, you'll find a dead end. Notice that the ground is cracked. You will need to hit the ground with a Golemn Battle-type's "Hip Press" ability. If you don't have that ability yet then open your map and place a --BLACK MARK (Battle- type)-- in the space at the dead end. If you have the ability then check the backtrack section for a list of items that you can get from below. Return to the area where you fought the two Red Ogres earlier and take the south path. As you fight through the Wolf Skeletons at the south path, you'll pass by a warp room. Enter the cave up ahead. ~~ 55.55% ~~ ++ Forest of Jigramunt (South) __________ ( __- I I ( \ I - - - - I I I I _____ I I I I I I I I / \ ________/ / I \___I I \ I ____/\/ \ __( _______/ _____ I______ I I I ( ____ Boss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nside the cave, Lizardmen will attack as you run down the hill. Enter the save room at the bottom to save your game then continue to the south. In the next tunnel, the path will split so fight through the Wolf Skeletons and Lizardmen then move down the west path. As you reach the door on the west side, look off to the left to see two candles off to the side. Jump and hit the ~~CRACKED WALL~~ in between the two candles to find an ++XS POTION++ behind the wall. Continue through the door on the west side. Some Great Armors will appear on the other side. As their name suggest, they are heavily armored so do not fight these enemies while they are grouped or they will gang around you quickly. Steal a few Carbon Steels from them - steal as they do their ram attack. Use the Carbon Steel to make you some better armor. Defeat the first wave of Great Armors to remove the seal from the doors. Open the first door you come across on the left side. Grab the ++ABSOLUTE ZERO RING++ from the pedestal in the small room then exit the room and enter the next tunnel to the southwest. Defeat the Lizardmen and Great Armors to open the door to the west. Enter the door then fight off the Lizardmen and Sniper Orcs to remove the seals on the door. Enter the door to the first tunnel in the north. Run down the hill to find several statues grouped together like bowling pins. In order to get past these statues you will need to have an Iytei Battle-type with the "Shoulder Ride" ability. Put a --BLACK MARK (Battle-type) on your map in this area for now if you don't have an Iytei yet. Leave the room and enter the next tunnel to the North. Fight through the Lizardmen and Sniper Orcs to remove the seal from the doorway up ahead then enter the door in the northeast. The doors in the tunnel ahead will seal off and Sniper Orcs and a few Assassin Zombies will attack. Rush ahead and defeat the Sniper Orcs first since they will constantly try to shoot you from the background if you don't. Run up to the save room on the right and save your game then enter the boss door up ahead. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss 5 - Minotaurus + Level 30 + HP: 4200 + Weakness: Wind + Tolerance: Earth + Steal: Devil Iron + When to steal: As he comes down from his jump attack, do a jumping backflip, then a jumping forward flip and steal from his head. Make sure to do the first jump extremely late in order to steal. If you jump toward his left side, you will have a much greater chance since the pillar usually covers the right side of his head. You will need to press the Steal button almost as soon as you do the second jump in the air or else you will miss. He will only do this attack when he has the final pillar in his hands. He's one of the harder bosses to steal from, but hang in there - there is a much worse steal window later for a particular boss. Make sure to get his steal item! Dodging is the key to beating the Minotaur since he takes quite a bit of health every time he hits you. Throughout the battle he will tear out rock pillars from the sidewalls and try to hit you with them. For the first pillar that he starts out with, he will strike you with it until it crumbles. For the remaining pillars he will either try to hit you horizontally with them (if you're close) or will throw the pillar at you. The only move of the Minotaur's that can be guarded against is his horizontal pillar strike. After you guard the first hit, I would strongly recommend rolling just in case he follows up with a second hit, because if he combos any of his moves then Hector will be hit since the first move will always stagger him. If you get far away from the Minotaur he will throw his rock pillar at you - roll quickly to the side to avoid this. After he throws his rock pillar, run up to him and combo away. He will walk over and get another rock pillar from the side of the wall. Hit him until he turns around, then get ready to dodge. He has very few moves for the first few rock pillars, so take advantage of this and hit him as much as you can. When he gets down to the last rock pillar or when he only has half of his last bar of life, he will not throw the pillar in his hands at you, nor will it break. He will have an almost entirely new set of moves for this rock pillar (he still has the horizontal swing). If he holds the pillar downward and starts to spin in a circle GET AWAY from him. He will spin toward you and try to smack you - be sure to get a few hits in when he starts to recover from this move. When he jumps into the air, jump or roll away from him. He can hurt you with the actual jump if you physically touch him, and he can also hit you with the shockwave on the ground afterward (the shockwave can be blocked). The Fairy-type ID will be your best ID to use for this battle because of her healing. The Bird-type is good for distracting him, but the Minotaur will kill the Bird-type off quickly. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Restore yourself after the battle then open the exit boss door to enter the next stage. ~~ 78.78% ~~ ++ Backtrack to Forest of Jigramunt [ ] BLUE MARK 1 (Water Drain) - Near the first save point, after the Stage 9 boss battle, the lake will be drained and you will be able to find a ++DEVIL'S VEIN++ in the treasure chest and you will find a **WESTERN TOILET** chair in the very back. ~~ 80.80% ~~ [ ] BLACK MARK 1 (Battle-type) - When you have a Battle-type ID with "Hip Press", go back to the valley on the east side of the Forest of Jigramunt and have your Battle-type use the ability on the cracked ground at the end. The ground will bust open and reveal a doorway below. Go into the cave and head through the first doorway to your right. Dark Warlocks and Red Ogres will attack as the doorway ahead seals off. Once they are defeated you will find a door at the end of this tunnel. Grab the ++ETHER++ on the pedestal inside the next room. You'll have to fight the same enemy line-up as before to exit the tunnel outside. Once you are back in the first tunnel, head to the northeast, through all the Bone Soldiers and Dark Warlocks, to find another door. The doorway in the distance will seal as usual and that same group of Red Ogres and Dark Warlocks will attack once again! When you open the door at the end of the tunnel, plant Hectors rear in the **RATTAN CHAIR** then grab the ++CARBON STEEL++ on the pedestal. That all-too familiar group of enemies will block off the path in the tunnel outside as you try to leave. ~~ 91.91% ~~ [ ] BLACK MARK 2 (Battle-type) - Stand at the top of the hill in the cave section of the Forest of Jigramunt once you have a Iytei with the "Shoulder Ride" ability and use that ability to barrel down the hill and destroy the statues at the bottom and reveal a door. You MUST stand at the top of the hill when you use this ability in order to gain speed to break the statues. Two groups of Final Guards will attack as you make your way to the door in the back. Sniper Orcs and more Final Guards will be waiting in the next tunnel. Enter the first door off to the left as you enter the second tunnel. Inside the room, sit in the **WOODMAN'S CHAIR** (yes, that is a chair) and grab the ++RARE RING++ from the pedestal. Defeat the Final Guards and Red Orgres in the next tunnel to unseal the door at the end and find a ++DRAGON SCALE++ on the pedestal inside. ~~ 100.00 COMPLETE (Forest of Jigramunt) ~~ [WT06] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Stage 6 - Cordova Town ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ++ Cordova Town (South) I I _____/ \_____ I ___________ I - - - - I I I I _______I I _________I I I _______I I _______- I - - I I I I I I I I I I I I_________I I I I I___________- I I I ___ I I I I _ / \ I I I I / \ ( CR ) ______- -_______- -______ ( W ) \_ _/ I _______ ___________ I ____\ /___I I - - - - - - I __________I I I I I I I I I _______I I I I I I - - I _______I - - - - I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I____/ \______________- -___________- - I_____- ! -_________ ___________ ___I \___/ - - - - I I I I I I I I I I I I_____ ______I I I I I FOJ <<_____ I I ? ! * I - - I I_____I I I I I I I I I I I___________- - I_______________I Like the Forest of Jigramunt, Cordova Town has a bunch of split paths as well, mainly for the southern portion. As you exit the boss room, you'll start out on the west side of the southern portion of Cordova Town. Zombies will rise up from the ground as you walk toward the split path ahead. Open the door off to the right (south) and move around to the east side of the town. While working your way north on the east side, you'll notice a barred door to the east with a HP Max Up behind it. For now, you can't do anything here, but be sure to open your map and place a --RED MARK (Devil-type)-- in that area. You'll need a Devil-type with "Magic Circle" in order to get under the bars. Head through the doorway in the north of the current area, then move west down the Zombie infested street and go through the dooway at the far end. Grab the ++CORDOVA TOWN MAP++ from near the fountain then enter the doorway to the west. Steal some more Carbon Steels from the Great Armors on the other side if you need any more then head through the north doorway to find a warp room along with another room at the very end of the street. The room behind the north door has a chair emblem on the door and will most likely shock you as you enter the room behind it for the first time. Go ahead and open the door. Well now, this is different, isn't it? This room is the Chair Room, which will house every seat that Hector has placed his rear into during the game. You should already have a few chairs if you have been following the main walkthrough closely: Gunnery Seat, Therapeutic Chair, Save Room Chair, Stump Stool, Teleporter Seat, Gondola, and the Rocking Chair. There are a total of 23 chairs in the game that you will need to find. Go ahead and sit in the Gunnery Seat and blast some bird and bat targets then head back to the fountain and meet me in the next paragraph below when you're ready. ~~ 16.83% ~~ Head north from the fountain area or take any of the other two paths on the street to the east to reach the middle street in the north. The west street will have some Vassagos and the other two streets will have Ghouls (stronger Zombies). Steal some more Ceremonial Tools from the Vassagos so you don't have to backtrack for some later when you need them. The middle street will have some more Vassagos along it. Walk down either of the streets to the north of the Vassago infested middle street. No matter which street you take to the topmost street, there will be either a Dead Fencer or a Dead Baron along the path. Steal some more Holy Man's Veins from them along the way. Open the door in the north to enter the north section of Cordova Town. ~~ 37.62% ~~ ++ Cordova Town (North) _______________________ EMT <<_____________________ I I I - - _ I I / \ I I____ ( ) I____ I __\ /______ I I I ______- I I I _________ I I I I I I I _____ I I I I I_____I I I I I I _I I_ I______-__I _ ____ I I - - I I / \ I __>> AR _I I_ I I _____ IBoss I ( W ) I!I I I I I ( \ I_ _I _____________\ /___I?I I *I I I I ) I I ( ________________- ! \ I _I I I I I I I _ I ( __________I I I _/ I I I __ I I I ( ) - - I ________-___/ Iv/ I I - - - - I I_|S|_I I I I V I I I I I I (_________) _I I_ B1F I I_____I I I I _______________________I I _ I_________) I I I ____________-_________ I ( ) I I - - I_____I ______|S|__ I I I I _______ I __-____ I I I____I I I ___ I I I I I I_____- I I I I I _____________I I I I I I I I I I I -_____-______I - - I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I___I I I I___I I I___-___I I___-___I On the other side of the door, all of the doors in the area will seal off and White Gravials will attack. These are much like the Lizardmen, but they are tougher and will spit poison at you. If you're poisoned then use a Serum or wait until it wears off. A save room is on the north side, so save your game after fighting the Gravials. Continue to the west when you're ready. More White Gravials will run up to you from behind the corner in the next area. You'll eventually enter a street where the doors will seal off and some more White Gravials will attack. Head west to fight some Ghouls as you go up some stairs then enter the next path to find some more Ghouls and a Lizard Shaman up the stairs ahead. Steal from the Lizard Shaman as he shoots a flame from his rod (long-range attack) to get an Ether material. Go ahead and steal as many Ethers as you can from the Lizard Shamans in the next few areas so you won't have to come back later. Plenty of Assassin Zombies will rise from the ground along the next staircase. The staircase after that will have many more Assassin Zombies along with two Lizard Shamans. When you have a choice of doorways to pick from, choose the west door for now. Remember where this area is on your map because you will be coming back here in a bit to take the other path. Defeat the Ghouls to open the door at the top of the stairs then head to the open area ahead to fight some more Lizard Shamans and a Skeleton Rider. The Rider shouldn't be much of a problem - you'll face much worse Riders later on. Try to steal from the Dragon Rider if you can to get a Dragon Scale material - jump and attack the rider until he falls then steal from the dragon. Defeat them to open the door to the south then enter that area. Rush up the staircases while fighting the Lizard Shamans and enter the west doorway. More Lizard Shamans will appear in the following area - make sure to keep stealing those Ethers from them while you can. The next area is totally empty, but the final area will seal you in with Executioners and Lizard Shamans. Defeat the enemies then sit in the **BENCH** to the left side to get credit for that chair. Head down the stairs to B1. ++ Cordova Town B1F 1F I^I Tons of Thiefs will be in the first part of the cave. They will keep I I teleporting in as you defeat them so watch your items. Use your I I Fairy-type to open the chest in the next area and reveal the I I ++WIND RING++. Head up the stairs to wind up back in Mortvia - - Aqueduct. We don't want to be here though, so head all the way back I I to the staircase with the two doorways to choose from in Cordova I!I Town. I I IvI v MA ~~ 71.28% ~~ ++ Cordova Town 1F (look at the Cordova Town (North) map) Take the north path this time while in the area with the stairs. The doorways will seal off down the street ahead and Lizard Shamans will attack. In the open area to the east, you'll fight a bunch of Skeleton Riders. Steal some more Dragon Scales from them as you defeat them then enter the north area. More Skeleton Riders will attack. Defeat them and enter the area to the east. Three Executioners will attack in the open area on the east side. Grab the ++ETHER++ next to the barred doorway. Speaking of that barred door, go ahead and open your map and place a --RED MARK (Devil-type)-- in that area since you will need a Devil-type with "Magic Circle" to get up under that door. Head through the west doorway to find a warp room to the right along with plenty of Dead Fencers. Fight through the Dead Fencers and head to the south street. Save your game in the save room along the next street then head to the boss door for a dual boss fight. If you have that Phoenix Bird-type along with the "Big Bang" ability that I told you to breed earlier then you will be able to severly limit this boss' attacks. ~~ 88.11% ~~ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss 6 - Isaac w/Innocent Devil (Abel) + Level 34 + HP: 5850 + Weakness: Ice + Tolerance: Dark + Steal: Devil's Vein + When to steal: At the end of his dashing uppercut move. He usually begins the battle with this move. Block the uppercut and steal from him as he falls. The move is a long distance attack so he will only do it when you are far away. Just like the last boss, be sure to steal his item from him! For this boss, you will need to roll constantly. Both Isaac and his Innocent Devil will attack you at the same time. He will shout out various commands for moves that you should watch out for. Whenever he shouts out "Kill!" this means that his Innocent Devil will go under the ground and try to hit you from underneath. Run, roll, and jump around the area to get away from the Innocent Devil while it is under the ground - this move is unblockable. Isaac will begin to laugh whenever the Innocent Devil is underground. If you have enough space between the Innocent Devil and Isaac then try to hit Isaac while he is laughing. Whenever Isaac shouts out "Go!", this means that the Innocent Devil is about to perform a drilling attack. If you are close enough when Isaac shouts out "Go!" you may be able to combo him out of the Innocent Devil's path or hit the Innocent Devil during the combo. Whatever you do, DO NOT target the Innocent Devil during this fight. You take only one hit point per hit when you hit him, and the camera will go crazy trying to keep up with him. Isaac's other moves include a ground pound (he laughs before he does this), flame uppercut, twister (he interrupts combos with this sometimes), and a long combo with his spear, all of which are blockable. Watch for him to do a combo and get in close as he goes for the final hit then hit him when he goes to recover. His Innocent Devil will be attacking you the entire battle so roll a bunch. The Innocent Devil's normal moves are blockable, but make sure that Isaac does not hit you at the same time as the Innocent Devil. Isaac will sometimes taunt you during the middle of the battle, leaving himself wide open to an attack. Use your Innocent Devils to the fullest extent during this battle. Your attack and bird-type Innocent Devils can keep his Innocent Devil busy during the fight for a while until they are worn down. Extra Tips: 1) If you use Corpsey (Battle-type) during this fight, he may do an attack that will stun Abel. If Isaac shouts out commands while Abel is stunned, Abel will not be able to do anything. 2) If you use Phoenix's (Bird-type) Big Bang attack on Abel it will remove Abel from the fight completely. This will kill off Phoenix as well, but Isaac will be Hector's bitch for the remainder of the battle. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After the battle, restore yourself then run over to the green Devil Forge door. A cutscene will play inside then you will receive the ++MAGE-TYPE INNOCENT DEVIL++. Now you can go back to the Baljhet Mountains once you have evolved a Nautilus Rod Mage-type with "Purify" and defeat the Blood Skeletons that need to be killed to get past that one doorway (see backtrack checklist for Baljhet Mountains). Run back outside then enter the door to the west. Fight through the Zombies and run through the north doorway. Even more Zombies lie in the next section. You'll eventually enter an area with a row of candles on each side. As you run to the back, the candles will start to go out one by one until they all go out then the door at the end will seal off. You will need to enter the room with your Mage-type ID summoned then use his "Time Stop" to stop the candles from unlighting. Run toward the door in the back while time is stopped. You may have to stop time twice to reach the door. Open the door at the end to enter the next stage. ~~ 98.01% ~~ ++ Backtrack to Cordova Town [ ] Red Mark 1 (Devil-type) - In the first area with the barred door, use your Devil-type's Magic Circle to move under the door and collect the ++HP MAX UP++ from the other side. Sit in the **PARK SWING** to get credit for that chair in the Chair Room. There is also a permanent refresher off to the side of the barred door. ~~ 99.00% ~~ [ ] Red Mark 2 (Devil-type) - When you have your Devil-type, use Magic Circle to go under the bars on the north side of the area with the three Executioners. Use your Fairy-type to open the chest on the other side to find a ++DAMASCUS STEEL++ material. The staircase will lead you to the Aiolin Ruins stage. ~~ 100.00% COMPLETE (Cordova Town) ~~ [WT07] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Stage 7 - Eneomaos Machine Tower ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ++ Eneomaos Machine Tower 1F _ _____ _____ ( ) _____ _____ I I_________I I___|S|___I !I_________I I I _________ _________ _________ I I_ _I I_____I I_ _I I_ _I I I ___ I I I I I I__________/ \ I I I I I____________ ) I I I I _______ \___/ _I I_ _I I_ _____I I______________________I I_________I I I ___ ___________-__________ _________ I I I I_______I I_____I I_____I I I I I _I I_ _____ I I I I______ I I I _____>> CT I I I I I_ _I I_ _I I I I I I I I I I I _I I_ I I____I I I______ I I I I_____I Run up ahead and defeat the three Sniper Orcs to unseal the door to the left (south). In the next area, the doors will seal off again and Sniper Orcs will attack. Continue to the west to fight some more Sniper Orcs and some Vassagos. Fight through the Sniper Orcs to the north and continue through the next door to the east. In the next room, you'll find a lever to the right side. Attack the lever to make a staircase rise out of the ground that will lead you to the door above. A timer will appear on the left hand side of the screen and the staircase will lower back into the ground when the timer reaches zero. The object here is to use your Mage-type's Time Stop after attacking the lever to stop the timer while you run up the stairs to the door. Run up the stairs in the area ahead and fight the White Gravials to remove the seals from the doors. More White Gravials will appear in the corridor ahead. In the room past the corridor, some Iron Gladiators and some more White Gravials will attack as the doors seal off. The Iron Gladiators can take you down quickly if they manage to stun you with their ball and chain so be careful when they fire it at you. Try to steal some Damascus Steel from the Iron Gladiators - roll away as they spin their ball and chain and jump or run toward them and steal as they perform their overhead attack at the end of the chain spin. Go through either of the doors and make your way to the corridor in the northwest from the north room. Taking the north path would be the shortest way. You'll fight a mixture of White Gravials, Iron Gladiators, and Flame Demons throughout these rooms. In room to the north of your current location, be sure to grab the ++MACHINE TOWER MAP++ from the west side of the room after fighting the Flame Demons. Enter the corridor in the west to find a save room to the side. ~~ 28.86% ~~ Head to the west room and some Undead Lords will attack as the doors seal off. These Undead Lords are just like the Bone Soldiers that you have been fighting, only they are slightly more aggressive and take a few more hits. Plow through the Undead Lords in the next corridor then fight off the Flame Demons mixed with more Undead Lords in the next room. Steal some more Phlogistons from those Flame Demons while you can! Your usual pair of Undead Lords will meet you in the next corridor as you enter the elevator of 1F. Inside the elevator room a Great Armor will attack. Steal his Carbon Steel as he dashes then beat him down with hacks and slashes. When the Great Armor is gone, walk over to any of the four screwlike objects around the elevator platform and begin attacking one of them. As you attack it, it will spin and cause the platform to rise. Keep attacking it until you reach 2F. The elevator will stop on 2F and the elevator exit door will be visible. ~~ 38.14 ~~ ++ Eneomaos Machine Tower 2F ___ / \ ( ) \ / I I I I I I ______________________________________________I I__ I I I _____ _____ _____ ___ __I I I I_______I I_______I I_____ _I / \ I I _______ _______ _______I ( W ) I I____vI I_____I I_ _I \_/ I I I3F I I I I ___ I I I__I !I__________/ \ I I I______________ ) I I \___/ _I I_ _____ I I_______I I I _______ !I I_____I I_____I As you exit the elevator, fight through the Undead Lords then hurry down the corridor ahead. Don't go through the door just yet though. When you reach the door, turn around and look behind you to the east wall to see a ~~CRACKED WALL~~ to the left of a torch. Hit the cracked wall a few times to reveal the ++PURITY RING++. This will come in handy for later. Open the door to reach the outside edge of the Machine Tower. You will meet your first Harpy out here. These enemies can be vicious if you let them get away from you since they will constantly swoop down at you and attack. If one of them grabs you, keep tapping the Jump button while you target the Harpy, then, the moment that you start to fall, do a double jump then steal from them to get an Orichalcum. Don't target the Harpy until one of them grabs you. You will need this item later so it is best to steal it now! In the next outside area, a few more Harpies will appear followed by Lizard Shamans mixed with Harpies, then finally more Lizard Shamans with Harpies in the final outside area. There will be a warp room in the final area. Across from the warp room you will find another elevator. Stock up on hearts from the surrounding candles then summon your Battle-type ID before entering the elevator. While inside the elevator, Death Rippers will attack the entire time. Use your Battle-type's Aura Blast to keep them off of you as you run over to one of the screwlike objects and begin to attack it. Keep using Aura Blast to keep the Death Rippers from getting to you then exit to 3F when you reach the top. ~~ 54.63% ~~ ++ Eneomaos Machine Tower 3F ___ / \ ( ) \ / I I I I I I I I _____ _I I_ _____ _____ _____I I_______I I I I_______I I I ___ _______ I I! _______ >4F I I I_____I I_____I I____vI I_____I I I 2F I I I I I I___I I I _____I _ I_ _I ( ) I I _|S|_ I I____________I I I______________ >4F I_____I Walk outside the elevator and the doors will seal off. Head to the room down the corridor ahead and an Iron Gladiator with two Harpies will appear. This can be a dangerous combination if the Gladiator manages to stun you so be careful. In the area ahead, four Iron Gladiators will appear followed by a group of Dead Fencers in the corridor further ahead. Enter the next room and jump to the top of the tall structure with gears on it. Hit the pair of rotating gears closest to you at the top until you knock one loose. Like some sort of trap out of a Scooby-Doo cartoon, this will start a chain reaction of gears popping out of the sockets and rolling to different directions ultimately hitting a pole and slamming it into the wall to the south, which will create another doorway for you. Wow IGA, you are such a kidder! Anyway, head through the newly formed doorway and fight through the Dead Barons in the corridor ahead. In the room to the east, you'll find a much deserved save room along with stairs leading to 4F. ~~ 70.10% ~~ ++ Eneomaos Machine Tower 4F ___ / \ ( ! ) \ / I I ____/ \ 3F<____ ) \ / ___I I___ I I I Boss I I I I___ ___I I I / \_______ ( _______>3F \___/ Head up the stairs to find the boss door for the Machine Tower. Equip the Purity Ring if you got it earlier, since it will help a bit for this fight. Open the boss door for a cutscene. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss 7 - Saint Germain + Level 37 + HP: 4250 + Weakness: Thunder, Dark + Tolerance: Earth, Light + Steal: Immortal Fragment + When to steal: Use the Mage-type Innocent Devil to freeze time as the boss stops time, and run up to him then steal. It is best to intentionally wait for him to do this move, then quickly run up to him as he stops time, that way when you freeze time, you will be right next to him. Make sure to steal this bosses item since it is one of a kind, just like Isaac's and Minotaurus' items. This boss is not that hard at all since most of his moves can be guarded against though he will hit aggressively at times - if you yourself are aggressive, however, you can take him out rather quickly. He will teleport around the area and try to hit you with quick sword strikes. He will usually do a two hit teleport combo or another short combo with a green glowing sword slash at the end. Hit him while he recovers from each combo. If the green sword slash hits you then it will poison you. If he poisons you then he will most likely teleport up to the clock and speed up time, causing the poison effect to be unbearable - use serum or stop time yourself to counter this. Equip the Purity Ring and Hector will not be poisoned as easily. St. Germain's poison hit will usually poison you every other time instead of ever time when it is equipped. If he starts to teleport you may still be able to hit him while he is invisible. When he stops time and freezes you in place, you can counter this by by using the time stop magic while your mage-type Innocent Devil is summoned. If you don't have the correct Innocent Devil equipped, then you better be ready to roll the instant that his time stop move is over. He will either do a sword slash or use magic after the time stop. When he is on his last bar of life he will teleport up to the clock tower and speed up time. A thorn vine will burrow around the area while he is attacking you. The vine can be blocked but it is best to wait until it goes away before attacking him. One time stop with your Mage-type ID will get rid of the thorn vine. He will constantly teleport up to the clock and speed up time. Remember to heal yourself instantly if he poisons you during this phase. After he is defeated the first time, he will teleport up to the clock and reverse time. If you still have some hearts left for your Mage-type, then quickly stop time when he teleports to keep him from gaining his life back; if not, he will once again get another bar of life and you must take him down again. He has just about the same attacks as the second fight except he will try to shoot you with his gun during this fight. You will have to roll out of the way of the gunshots since they are unblockable. He will start the gun attack by saying "Here we go!" - if you are close enough, then hit him right when says this for a few free hits. Extra Tips: 1) If you have "Poison Powder" for your fairy-type Innocent Devil then summon her and she will most likely be able to poison Germain. The poison will cause him to stagger during some of his moves, allowing you some free hits. 2) Learn to dodge his teleport attack with a quick step (not a double step) and you will be able to hit him after his attacks almost all the time. 3) If you are far away when he shoots his gun, quick step or perfect guard during each of three gun blast to avoid taking damage. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After the fight, heal yourself then exit via the other boss door. You'll notice a green Devil Forge door up ahead. Open the door for a cutscene. At the end of the cutscene, you will receive the ++DEVIL-TYPE INNOCENT DEVIL++. Now you can use the "Magic Circle" ability when this ID is equipped. This ability will allow you to move under the cracks in walls or doors. There are two places in Cordova Town where this can be used and one place back at Garibaldi Temple (see backtrack section for Cordova and Garibaldi). You must go back to Cordova Town to reach the next area. Run down the stairs to the west and fight off the Necromancers in the room ahead. (look at the 3F map) Go straight until you reach the wall with the crack at the bottom then use "Magic Circle" to move underneath the wall. Destroy the candles to regain your hearts then open the next door. The doors will seal off and several Necromancers will attack in the next area. Grab the ++EARTH RING++ from the back of the room after the battle then go down the stairs to the south to enter 2F again. (look at the 2F map once again) In the first room a few Dead Barons will attack. Enter the next area and use Magic Circle once again to go under the cracked wall. More Dead Barons will attack in the next room followed by Necromancers in the corridor ahead. When you reach the room after the Necromancers, ignore the door to the east for now and use Magic Circle to go under the crack in the wall to your right (south). Run down the corridor and enter the next room to find several Necromancers. Use Magic Circle once again to go under the wall to the east. Fight off the Necromancers and Wights in the room ahead then grab the ++SACRIFICE BROOCH++ from the back of the room. Head back to the room with the door that you didn't enter before and open the door. Use Magic Circle to go under the wall then use it once again to go under the crack in the north wall behind the first cracked wall. You'll emerge near the warp room of Eneomaos Machine Tower. Enter the warp room and go to Cordova Town - Center to get to the next stage. ~~ 100.00% COMPLETE (Eneomaos Machine Tower) ~~ ++ Back to Cordova Town (North) Walk through the doorway to your left (east) upon exiting the warp room and use Magic Circle to go under the bars on the north side of the next area. Use your Fairy-type to open the chest on the other side to find a ++DAMASCUS STEEL++ material.

As you enter the first area, tons of Bone Soldiers followed by Undead Lords will teleport in and attack. Fight them off and head north. The next area has the same enemy line- up and still doesn't require you to fight so run or attack them and head to the next room. The doors will seal off and Undead Lords followed by Necromancers will attack in the room ahead. Further north, a group of Necromancers will start to summon Undead Lords as they attack. Fight them off and head north some more and prepare for some more Undead Lords along with some Assassin Zombies as you turn your attention to the east. Assassin Zombies along with a horde of Undead Lords will be waiting as you continue to press north - fight or run. The same basic enemy line-up will be in the next area as you press on further to the northeast. Please take note that it is a good idea to fight all the Assassin Zombies in the hope that they drop a Jade material that you will need later if you want some of the extras in the game. As you go north in the next area, everything will seem quiet until you pass through the two stones in the middle then all hell will break lose as the doors seal off and two Jins attack. These enemies can get aggressive in groups with their constant punching so watch your life. Try to steal a Frenzy of Wind material from them - target them and wait until they start to float backward. A trio of Jins will pop up after the first pair. In the next room, a dangerous group of Thunder Demons and a Jin will attack. Steal a Lightning Stone from the Thunder Demons - hit them in the air until they guard then steal from them while in the air (equip your worst knuckles weapon so you'll have a better chance). Undead Lords will follow after the more dangerous enemies have been taken care of. Head west to find a few more Thunder Demons along with some Armored Sprinters. Along the next path, the doors will seal off and you will have to fight another group of Thunder Demons mixed with Amored Sprinters. In the room to the west, a Rapid Sniper will start to fire on you as you enter then some Undead Lords will join the battle. The Rapid Snipers are the most annoying type of Orcs since they will shoot multiple arrows rapidly - quick step to the sides as you run up to one to avoid the arrows. The Ceramics material that these enemies will drop will help you to make some better weapons and armor. The north will have more Rapid Snipers and Undead Lords along with a save room to the side. Save your game and continue to the north. ~~ 26.74% ~~ A gun cannon will start to fire upon you as you enter the next area. You know the drill - defeat the skeleton controlling the cannon and jump inside. Fire upon the cannons on the side of the castle walls ahead then turn your attention to the barricade in front of the castle doors. After removing the barricade, look to the left of the side of the castle to find a ~~CRACKED WALL~~ along the side. Blast at the cracked wall and an item will fall from it. Run over to it and collect the ++INNOCENT SUPPORTER++. You will definitely need this as the game progresses so equip it now. Return to the area below the right side of the gun cannon and use your Fairy-type to open the chest to find the ++AIOLON RUINS MAP++. Vassagos and Undead Lord will most likely continue to attack along with Skeleton Troppers if you stay too long. Continue to the north and the doors will seal while a group of Undead Lords along with a Skeleton Trooper teleport into the area. These Skeleton Troopers can get extremely annoying with their constant dashing so use an ID with a heavy attack to defeat them if you can't catch them. Further north, the doors will seal off once again and two more Skeleton Troopers will attack. Three more will enter the areas as the seals are removed - it's your choice if you want to stay and deal with them or not. Fight through the Wights in the next area and go through the engraving's mouth forming a cave entrance up ahead. The doors will seal off and Flames Demons followed by Wights will attack. Open the door up ahead to the north. ~~ 34.88% ~~ _____________________ ( ____- ____ ____ ) I ( I I I * I I I I I I I I_!_I I I _____ I I - - I I I *I I I___ I I I I I !

In the next corridor, barrel down the hill while fighting (and stealing Aquamarines) from the Fishmen. Wights and more Fishmen will attack near the bottom. Enter the next corridor for some more Fishmen action along with a Slogra and some Wights. Make use of the save room then continue to head north. ~~ 47.67% ~~ Wights and a Slogra will attack as you enter the next room. Head to the north, through the mouth engraving doorway. Head down the winding corridor ahead then you will enter a room with four Great Armors. Fight them off to remove the seals from the door. You may notice that the door on the east side is covered with vines. You will need a Mage-type Innocent Devil with a fire spell in order to remove the vines from the door. I will cover this in the backtrack section, so for now, put a --WHITE MARK (Mage-type)-- on your map in this area. The door to the north will lead you to the warp room for the Aiolin Ruins. Head back through the mouth engraving and enter the door to the west. Fight or run by the White Dragons and the Slogra then head north. When you enter the corridor to the north, tilt your camera up as you enter the room and look toward the top of the north wall to see a button on the wall - you may have to jump to see it. You will need a Proboscis Fairy-type ID in order to press that button to reveal a secret passage. Place a --YELLOW MARK (Fairy- type)-- in the area with the button and continue through the door on the southeast end of the corridor. White Dragons and Fishmen will litter the next corridor. Open the door to the south. Two Gaibons will attack as you rush down the next corridor. Use your Fairy-type ID to open the treasure chest at the end for a ++SPIRIT OF FUJI++. Hit the ~~CRACKED WALL~~ behind the treasure chest to reveal a doorway. This will take you back to the Abandoned Castle. Go back to the corridor with the White Dragons and enter the room on the northwest side. Fishmen and a Skeleton Trooper will attack as you get near the save room door. Be sure to save your game and finish up any loose ends for this stage before you enter the next door. A cutscene will play once you enter the door to the west and you will be transported back to the Abandoned Castle. ~~ 74.41% ~~ ++ (Back to) Abandoned Castle 3F You will start at the bottom of the stairs that lead to 4F of the Abandoned Castle. Head to the top of the stairs and enter the door to 4F. Be sure to save your game at the save room then open the boss door. Go up the new set of stairs inside the boss room to the left. This will lead you to 5F and also to a boss fight. Consider this the boss fight to make up for no boss at the Aiolin Ruins. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss 8 - Trevor Belmont + Level 40 + HP: 4700 + Weakness: Dark + Tolerance: Light + Steal: Curry + When to steal: During his holy cross move, when he lands there is a small window of opportunity to steal from him. To steal from him, stand right next to him during his Holy Cross move (just about where it hits you) then steal the moment he lands. Hector will automatically lunge forward because of the steal move, which should allow you to grab Trevor's Curry. He has basically the same moves from the first time you fought him (except for the holy water), but all of them have been upgraded. He will generate a light shield around him, which makes him unstoppable. You will have to hit him repetitively after a combo to get rid of the shield. He will constantly make another light shield throughout the battle. Like the first battle, the only time that you can hit him is after one of his combos or after a move. All of his hits are blockable with the exception of the Holy Cross super move and the charge first. He has added a second hit for the charge fist in this battle, so you will have to dodge twice in order to fully avoid it. The first hit of his charge fist can be blocked, but you are more likely to hit him afterwards if you dodge both hits. He will now do a spinning whip move at the end of his whip combo that you will need to roll or run to avoid. His other new moves include a spinning lunge attack and he will sometimes throw his cross at you, both of which can be blocked. Stay away from him and only attack him after his combos and you should take him down quickly. If he has his shield, you will only be able to get a few hits in after his attacks, but if his shield is gone he will stagger for an entire combo. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ~~ 100.00% COMPLETE (Abandoned Castle) ~~ ++ Backtrack to Aiolin Ruins WHITE MARK 1 (Mage-type) - Return to the room outside the warp point of the Aiolin Ruins when you have a Mage-type with a fire spell and you will be able to burn the vines covering the west door. Run down the corridor while fighting the Great Armors and enter the door at the end. At the end of the next tunnel, you'll find a split path. The west room contains the **LEATHER CHAIR** along with a ++FRENZY OF WIND++ material. The east door will lead you to another tunnel filled with Great Armors and a Rapid Sniper. At the end of the east route, you will find a room containing ++DAMASCUS STEEL++, a chest containing an ++HP MAX UP++ and the **HILARIOUS CUSHION** chair in the back corner. ~~ 88.37% ~~ YELLOW MARK 1 (Fairy-type) - Enter the corridor with the button (near the ceiling) in the middle north section of the Aiolin Ruins while you have a Proboscis Fairy-type with the "Press it and see" ability and a cutscene will start where he will push the button. A bomb will fall and a most interesting sequence will show the walls in the area falling to reveal a whole other section of the room and a door. On the other side of the door, Spirits will attack as you make your way toward the split path up ahead. Turn right (east) and enter the door at the very end of that path to find the **DIRECTOR'S CHAIR** and the ++MEGINGELOS++ on the pedestal inside. Back outside, go through the first doorway that leads to the north. Follow the tunnel until you see a door on the south side then open it to plant Hector's rear in the **COMEDIAN'S CHAIR** and to grab the ++ORICHALCUM++ material from the pedestal in the back. Enter the tunnel again and head to the west, through the doorway to find a room at the very end with an ++XS POTION++ on the pedestal inside.

Refresh yourself then open the door up ahead. You'll fight tons of Spirits as you run up the ramp to the top floor of 1F. In the room at the top, three Final Guards will seal off the doors and challenge you. A few Spirits will float around the room as well. The only time you can truly hit a Final Guard is when he attacks, otherwise he will block your attacks with his force field shield. Try to get behind them with quick steps and attack them as they perform a combo. If you steal from them as they perform their flame shield attack, you'll get $500 - something you may want to consider.

Go either way since they both end at the same area. The left (north) path will have Bone Soldiers and Blaze Phantoms and the right (south) path will seal you in with Spirits and Blaze Phantoms. Enter the door on the east end and fight through the Spirits outside then enter the room up ahead to find a Unicorn with a few more Spirits. You only need to defeat the Unicorn to unseal the doors. Unicorns can mainly be staggered to death with attacks, but watch for their spiked book ram. In the room at the bottom, you'll fight two more Unicorns mixed with Spirits.

Only the Wights need to be defeated to unseal the doors. In the outside corridor, Thunder Dragons will be strapped on the surrounding walls of the ramp and the usual Ectoplasms will attack. In the next room, you'll find a warp room over to the right and a strange chair in the middle of the room. Sit in the chair to get credit for the **EMPORER'S CHAIR** and to move up to the top floor with plenty of treasure chest. Summon your Fairy-type, and from north clockwise to west, you'll find an ++ADAMANTINE++, a ++CEREMONIAL TOOL++, an ++ETHER++, a ++CARBON STEEL++, a ++SPIRIR OF FUJI++, a ++DARK CRYSTAL++, a ++HOLY MAN'S VEIN++, and a ++FORGOTTEN MEMORY++. If you have been following this walkthrough, you should have a few of each of these materials, or at least you should know where to get them. Sit back down in the chair to return to the bottom room. Thunder Dragons and Wights will attack in the next area as the doors seal off. The area after that will have four split paths, counting the one you just came from. Enter the door at the end of the north path to find a room where you will need a Bird-type with the "Long Glide" ability in order to make it to the door on the other side. Place a --GREEN MARK (Bird-type)-- on your map in this area. Head over to the south portion of that same split path to find a room with a giant iron door. You will need a Battle-type with the "Brute Force Lv.2" ability in order to lift that door, so place a --BLACK MARK (Battle-type) in that area on your map. Go back outside and take the west path. Defeat the Thunder Dragons to open the door. Spectral Swords and Ectoplasms will attack in the corridor ahead. As you enter the next room and summon your Mage-type ID. See that wall of skulls? You will need to freeze time with "Time Stop" and attack the skulls then go under them to reach the door at the bottom. The surrounding candles have plenty of hearts just in case you mess up. More Spectral Swords and some Thunder Dragons will attack in the next area - you only need to defeat the Spectral Swords to pass.

You must be ready for him to do this attack, which means you have to stay right next to him. As he jumps, do a normal jump and steal from him as he reaches the ground. Once you have stolen the item, do another jump in the air and you might be able to avoid the shockwave attack on the ground. He does his jump attack right at the beginning of each battle, so you can steal from him at the start of the boss fight. When stealing at the beginning of the fight, wait about one second as you move forward at the beginning, then jump and steal just before he hits the ground. The most important rule about this boss is whenever he jumps, you jump! He will create an unblockable shockwave on the ground every time he lands. He usually starts the battle off with this attack so be ready for it. Try to prolong your jump as much as you can by doing the double jump portion only after a full jump. You can hit him quite a bit while he recovers from his jump attack. This boss is very slow, but his attacks are quite damaging. He mainly attacks with three hit combos, either ending with a sword slash or a ram - if you avoid the ram, he will be left wide open to your attacks. All of his physical attacks are blockable, but avoid his combos. He will sometimes perform one of his unblockable moves at the end of his combos, be sure to watch for his jump at the end of a combo. If he ever holds his sword up into the air upside down, then he is about to perform his shockwave attack where he hits the ground and a bluish glow surrounds him. All you have to do is get away from him when you see the attack coming. Whenever he holds his sword into the air and points it upward then he is about to do his beam attack. He will shoot out a beam and then spin around, causing the beam to reach through the entire room. Jump in place or roll through the beam to avoid this. If it hits you, it will curse you. If you watch his movements you should be able to get plenty of hits in on this boss when he recovers from attacks. Extra Tips: 1) If you start to run low on hearts, try to perfect guard his spinning beam attack as he spins around. It's not that hard to perfect guard this attack once you get the timing down. 2) Quick step away from his moves and you will be able to sneak a few hits in often because of his long recovery. 3) When he jumps, try to wait until the second right before he hits the ground to jump and you will avoid the full shockwave if you double jump. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ~~ 83.56% ~~ ++ Mortvia Aqueduct 1F After defeating Dullahan, you will start in Morvia Aqueduct, right outside the warp room. You will notice that the stairs in front of you that were once covered by water are now open to your exploration. Walk along the stairs and run down the bridge for another cutscene. The water in all areas has now drained, so you can go back to all of the prior areas where water once stood and collect some extra items. When the cutscene and all your other errands are complete, use a Battle-type's "Brute Force" ability to lift the iron door entrance of Dracula's Castle. It would be best to be above level 50 before entering the castle, since you will fight some difficult enemies and bosses inside. Skip down to Stage 10 for the rest of the main walkthrough. ~~ 100.00% COMPLETE (Mortvia Aqueduct) ~~ ++ Bactrack List for Infinite Corridor [ ] GREEN MARK 1 (Bird-type) - After evolving a Wingosaurus with "Long Glide" go to the right side of the stairs in 3F of the north end of Infinite Corridor and use Long Glide to reach the other side. You'll find a save room on the other side of the door. As you walk to the middle of the room a big group of Blaze Phantoms will attack. Defeat all of them to open the two doors. Behind the east door, you'll find a lone Gi-Lee along with the ++VOID RING++ in the back of the corridor. As you grab the Void Ring, the door that you came through will seal off and you will be forced to fight another group of Blaze Phantoms. A Gi-Lee will teleport into the area every now and then so don't let one of your rare items get stolen. Behind the west door, Gi-Lees and Ectoplasms will attack then in the next corridor Blaze Phantoms mixed with Gi-Lees will challenge you. In the final corridor, rush to the end and grab the ++$1000++. You'll notice an inscription on the wall that will give you a hint for evolving the third Devil-type. When you have a Tiramisu Fairy-type with "Decipher" you will be able to read it. For now, place a --YELLOW MARK (Fairy-type) on your map for this area. [ ] YELLOW MARK 1 (Fairy-type) - This is nothing special, but if you read the inscription on the wall at the end of the area described above it will say, "There is only one correct path to the ultimate devil-type evolution. Find 'Shyovasli' or the path will never open. ...Excerpt from Sage Eneomaos." "What the hell does that mean?", you may ask. The inscription is hinting to the Chauve-Souris spear being the key to gaining the final Devil-type evolution. Find "Chauve-Souris" or the path will never open. In other words, you must make the Chauve-Souris and defeat enemies with it while collecting green crystals while your Devil-type is summoned and is in the second stage of evolution to make him evolve into his final form. Check the Combineable items section for a list of materials to make the Chauve-Souris. ~~ 91.78% ~~ [ ] BLACK MARK 1 (Battle-type) - Once you have a Battle-type Juggernaut with the "Brute Force Lv.2" ability, have him push open the large iron gate on the south side of Infinite Corridor 3F. In the area ahead, you will find a save room. As you approach the middle, tons of Undead Lords and Bone Soldiers will teleport into the area and attack you as all the doors seal off. This is one of the best places to level up Hector and your ID in the game along with the Evil Cores before Legion in Garibaldi Temple. When you unseal the door by defeating the enemies, enter the west door. A group of Thunder Dragons will attack in the middle as you make your way to the end of the corridor to collect a ++LIGHTNING STONE++. Enter the east door and fight through the Undead Lords and Thunder Dragons until you reach the door at the end of the corridor. Amdusciases along with Ectoplasms will attack you in the corridor. If you haven't been to the final stage yet then this will be your first encounter with Amdusciases. They are invincible when the pages of their book spin around them. You must defeat them to leave this area. At the end of the final corridor, collect the ++PHLOGISTON++. The door will seal off as you approach the item and more Amdusciases and Undead Lords will attack. ~~ 100.00% COMPLETE (Infinite Corridor) ~~ [WT10] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Stage 10 - Dracula's Castle ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ++ Dracula's Castle Entrance 1F MA ___ I^I ______ / *!| I^I / ____ \ / / I I / / \ \ / / I I _____- - \ \ ( ( I I I _____I ) ) \ \ _ _ I I / / \ \__ / \_____I I ____/ / \_ | ( _______I I ___/ | | \___/ I I | | I I - - - - / / \ \ _/ /_ ___ ___ \ \____ / \______/ \_________/ \_______ I____ \ ( -_____ -________ _____ I \ \ \_ _/ \_ _/ \___/ I I ) ) I | I I I I I ____/ / I |_I I I I I I ___/ I _I I I___________________/ \ I I I | I I____________________- ) - - I | I \ / I I / ____| I I I I___ / / I I I____ \ ( ( ___________________________I I \ \ \ \____ I _______-________________- I ) ) \___ | I I I I ____/ / I I I I I I I ___/ I I _ _ I I I I - - / \_______________________/ \ - - I I B1<< -_____________________- ) I I I I_ \___/ ______ \___/ _I I I \ / ____ \ / I \ \_________/ / \ \______________/ / \____-________/ \_________-________/ Welcome to the final stage. Dracula's Castle is pretty straightforward for the most part and will mainly consist of quite a few rooms and corridors that will seal off while enemies appear. There are a few extra areas though so read on. There are three separate maps that need to be completed 100% in order to get the full completion rate for this stage (1F Entrance, 1F-7F, 7F Outside). While walking up the stairs a Slogra will teleport into the floor above and attack. Enter the door to the left and you'll have to battle through two more Slogras as you run down the corridor. While walking around the side of the castle you will face off against two more Slogras as you reach the door at the end. Two Gaibons will attack along the next path. Once you've gone through another door, the doors at each end in the next area will seal off and a pair of Gaibons and Slogras will attack. Beware this combination, since the Gaibons can stun you to set you up for a major pouncing from the other enemies. Plow through the Rapid Snipers in the area ahead then get ready for a trio of Red Ogres as the doors seal off in the area ahead while they attack. Use some very strong attacks with a strong Battle or Bird-type ID (Aura Blast, Bone Storm, Carpet Bombs) to quickly chip away at their life. Two more Rapid Snipers will appear in the next area. You will eventually reach an area where the doors will seal off and you will have to use a Bird-type ID with "Glide" to float over a gap to the door ahead. The only problem is that Rapid Snipers will be waiting on the other side for you. Target the Rapid Snipers and use a long-range ID attack (Mage-type) to get rid of them before gliding to the other side. Spirits will pour into the area as well from the bottom gap. There is nothing below, so open the door on the other side once you defeat the Rapid Snipers. The doors will seal off and another pair of Rapid Snipers will attack in the area ahead. Enter the door to the north instead of the one to the east. A few Spirits will attack you as you move toward the end of the next area. Sit in the **HIGHBROW CHAIR** and jump then attack the ~~CRACKED WALL~~ in the back of the chair to reveal the ++MEDUSA RING++. Go back the way you came and enter the east door. Enter the door to the south or to the east - they both connect to the same room. The south door will take you to a long corridor with Spirits while the east door will take you to a group of Frost Demons. Whichever way you go, a group of Frost Demons and Spirits will attack as the doors seal off in the big room ahead. In the next long corridor, open the door to the west and fight through the Armored Splinters and Frost Demons in the next few corridors or enter the door to the south and face a group of Frost Demons, Armored Sprinters, and a Final Guard. Either way, you will eventually enter a room with Final Guards and Armored Sprinters along with some stairs to the side. Get rid of the Sprinters first then deal with the Final Guards. Go down the stairs to B1 afterwards. ~~ 100.00% COMPLETE (Dracula's Castle Entrance 1F) ++ Dracula's Castle B1F ___ ___ / \_________________________/ \ ( -_______________________- ) \ / \ / I I I I I I I I I I I I / / \ \ / / \ \ / / \ \ / \ / \ ( ) ( ) \ / \ / I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I / \ / \ ( ) ( ) \ / \ / I I I I I I ___ ___ I I I I / \_______________/ \____I I I I 1F< ______ _____- ______I I I \___/ | | \___/ I I (_) / \ ___ ___ 1F< ) / \_____________/ \ \___/ ( ! -____________ >1F \___/ \___/ Enter the corridor through the door to the east to find a save room in the middle of the hall.

Continue to the north and you'll eventually be sealed off in a room with White Dragons and Flame Demons. The room to the northwest will have the same Undead Lords only this time mixed with Frost Dragons. After fighting through more Undead Lords, along the corridor to the west, you'll enter a room with Frost Demons and Frost Dragons as the doors seal off. Three Executioners, Undead Lords, along with a mix of both will haunt the next three following rooms respectively.

Step into the blue glow to refresh yourself then continue on - this refresher is permanent, much like the one in Cordova Town. A Rapid Sniper will be waiting by the door to the room in the southeast. Two Iron Gladiators and three Rapid Snipers will be in the next room as turn to the north corridor. In the northeast room, two Rapid Snipers will attack. Notice the blue glow at the bottom of the wall to the north of the room with the Rapid Snipers? That is a crack that you can use the Devil- type's Magic Circle to go under. Place a --RED MARK (Devil-type)-- in that place on your map for the time being and check the backtrack section if you are curious. You must have a special item, which you likely don't have, in order to awaken the special ID in the back of that area. A pair of Slogras will bounce up out of the floor and attack in the hall to the west. Rapid Snipers, Slogras, and Gaibons will be in the next two rooms and corridors ahead. Be very careful while fighting the Slogras and Gaibons in the final room of 6F since the Gaibons can stun you and the Slogras can take off quite a bit with their attacks.

The corridor behind the wall will lead you to a Devil Forge containing the Pumpkin- type ID. The Pumpkin-type will not awaken until you make a special weapon and then smack him with it. You will need to combine the following items in order to make the Pumpkin Mace then come back and strike him with it to awaken him. To make the Pumpkin Mace combine the following two items: 1) Pumpkin Head - Iron Mask (Face Guard [Stone Mask [Jade + Sun Tears] + Gano] + 1 Red Steel) + Miracle Egg (found from Evil Cores) + 2) Piko Piko Hammer - Mace (Gano + Steel) + Miracle Egg (found from Evil Cores) If there is any confusion, please see the item list near the bottom of this guide. See the enemy section for a list of items that you can steal from each enemy or the items that each enemy will drop. For the more rare items you will need to steal from Efreets, and find rare items dropped from Assassin Zombies and Evil Cores. Golden Bones will drop a Miracle Egg every time, but you will only find him at the end of the Tower of Evermore or randomly in areas with only Skeletons (outside final save room in Baljhet Mountains). ~~ 100.00% COMPLETE (Dracula's Castle) ~~ ++ Dracula's Castle 7F Outside _ ___ ( ) ___ / \__________|S|___/ \______ (Boss -______________-Boss -____ \ \___/ \___/ \ \ \ \ ( ) \ \ \ \ ___ | | S<<_ \__/ / \____/ Yes, the familiar red carpet with steps that leads up to the boss door is right in front of you now.

Try to hit him with a Square, X combo while he is next to the wall and then steal. Your battle-type Innocent Devil can also knock him up into the air, which will allow you to steal. This battle is pretty different from the first. He has a whole different set of moves and a new weapon. He will constantly try to hit you with one of many combos. Dodge the combos and hit him while he recovers. If his fists ever glow blue, then be sure to dodge the dash attack that he will do shortly afterwards. If he catches you then he will drain some of your life. Hit him when he pauses at the end of any combos or moves. Do not hit him after the blue grab attack, since he remains invincible for a while afterwards and may be able to hit you before it wears off. As he gets lower in life, he will do this move more often. Eventually he will stand still and summon an Innocent Devil. While the Innocent Devil is hovering about, Isaac will have a whitish glow around him meaning he is invincible to physical attacks - you can still hit him with energy attacks however. When he does this it is best to target the Innocent Devil and defeat it or pressure Isaac with constant projectile attacks from your Innocent Devil in order to finish the rest of the battle. Isaac will be doing the same combos from earlier and the Innocent Devil will attack as well. The first Innocent Devil is a bird-type. It will mainly breathe fireballs at you, which can be easily dodged. When it spews flames from it's mouth, get away from it - the ID will breathe fire all around its immediate area. I have found it best to have a mage-type Innocent Devil equipped for this portion of the battle so it will constantly shoot fireballs at Isaac's Innocent Devil if targeted. Try to work the bird-type Innocent Devil away from Isaac so you can attack it without him interfering - stay on one side of the screen and let it come to you. The second Innocent Devil is a battle-type. You can pretty much hit it any time, but be on the lookout for its teleport splash - it will teleport into the air and try to land on you. It will be left extremely wide open to your attacks after the splash move. Isaac will shout out "Go!" right before it does the splash attack. Listen for the command and hit the battle-type while it recovers. It will sometimes perform a three hit combo that will leave it open to a few attacks as well. When the Battle-type does its Ultra Scream move, be sure to get away from it since it will generate a distortion around it that will stun you if you manage to touch it. Hit it sparingly with a battle-type equipped and you can take it down pretty quickly. The third Innocent Devil is a knight. During the third Innocent Devil fight, Isaac will have a purple shield around him and will be no longer invincible. The best way to beat the knight is to do a combo that knocks him down quickly. He will remain on the ground for a while and you will be able to attack him the whole time. The best time to hit him is when he recovers after doing an attack. Roll around the area and you will eventually see him pause after doing his teleport attacks. If you have a battle-type or bird-type Innocent Devil with you, then now would be a good time to use them, since both types usually knock the enemy to the floor often. Be on the lookout for his blue fireballs that appear around him - once they start to shoot out, he will fire them all at you. They can be blocked, but they will cause you to stagger so you can't block more than one in a row. Roll or run out of the way when he starts his dagger rain attack in which daggers fall from the ceiling. After each of Isaac's Innocent Devils have been defeated, he will always taunt Hector. If you are next to him, then you can get some free hits while he taunts. Extra Tips 1) Use an Indigo Bird-type's "Blizzard Breath" to freeze his Crimson ID in place. Isaac will no longer be able to give it commands for a short while. 2) The bird-type Innocent Devil's "carpet bombs" will be extremely useful against Isaac's knight Innocent Devil. Not only will it knock it down for the first hit, but the bird will continue to rain bombs down upon him. 3) A Corpsey Battle-type ID can actually stun Isaac's Battle-type Knight when Corpsey uses his normal attacks. 4) Use a Crimson bird-type Innocent Devil and fireball him to death, even if he has his Innocent Devil equipped and has a white shield around him. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ A cutscene will play after the boss battle with Isaac, and then a new boss battle will start! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss 11 - Death + Level 51 + HP: 6700 + Weakness: N/A + Tolerance: Dark + Steal: Death's Pulse + When to steal: At the end of his Big Bang attack, there will be a small (and I mean tiny!) window of opportunity for you to steal from him - timing is the key. Stealing from Death is incredibly tough, and may require you to perfect guard some of his attacks in order to get hearts to stay alive for more chances. Thankfully, many of his moves can be perfect guarded if you get the timing down. Use the fairy-type Innocent Devil to heal yourself while trying. Below are four ways that I know of to steal from him successfully: 1) If you have the "Invincibility Vase" skill from the Tiramisu Fairy-type ID, you should be able to stand in front of him while encased in the fire provided that you do the ability at the right time. In order for his window of steal to still be open while trying this method, you must do the Invincibility Jar as he holds the ball of fire in his hand. It must wear off as soon as the fire starts to go away. Jump and steal from him if you see the purple cursor. 2) Stand in front of Death as he unleashes his big bang attack. Guard the first hit, perfect guard the next ten attacks from it, then jump toward him and steal. For a more descriptive version, stand in front of him as the explosion starts and block the first hit of the attack. As Hector starts to stagger backward, press the block button to perfect guard the first hit, then press the guard button every second after that nine times (for a total of ten times) - jump and steal after the tenth perfect guard. If you accidentally block one of the hits after the first perfect guard then subtract one perfect guard for each normal block (ex. If you accidentally block the attack twice after the first block then subtract 2 perfect guards for a total of 8 perfect guards before jumping). This is the way IGA intended for you to get it since the final perfect guard is timed perfectly with Death's window of steal. 3) If you can mix the above two methods, you may be able to steal from him as well. Have your Invincibility Jar purposely wear off right before the final hit of the big bang, perfect guard the hit, then jump toward Death and steal. A perfect guard right before the steal will increase your chances greatly since the final hit is right before his window of steal opens. 4) Use a Devil-type's "Magic Circle" to move up on Death as the explosion is about to end then quickly end the ability and steal. This will consume many more hearts than the other methods however. This boss is fought immediately after Isaac so you may need to heal before going up to him. You can hit any part of his body to damage him. When you're up close to him, be sure to watch his hands or the area above him. If he rears his hands back to one of the side, then he will try to hit you with his scythe. When he swipes at you, stay right next to him and double jump into the air and keep hitting him - you will fall shortly after his scythe swing, avoiding it completely. Sometimes he chains the first scythe swing into another so be sure to watch, and avoid it the same way. The scythe swing will be his main move for a good portion of the battle so take advantage of it and air combo him. It can be easily jumped over, if you time each jump. The scythe swing can be blocked, but the third hit will cause you to stagger, which may leave you open to the second swing if you are not careful. DO NOT get too combo-happy on the ground or you might accidentally get hit with his scythe swing. If sickles appear above him, roll backwards a bit. Block the first sickle, then roll, block another, then roll...rinse and repeat until all are gone. Perfect guard a few of the sickles for some extra hearts if you need them. When he creates a fire sickle you must back off and roll or run around it. Start out by rolling or running away, then roll or run to a side, and make a complete circle around it by rolling or running straight ahead and then the opposite way. An alternate way to avoid this attack is to block or perfect guard the sickle just as it's about to hit you, and then roll through it - roll to avoid it if it comes back. If he starts to charge a fireball attack, get to the one of the far sides of the screen. He will throw down a fireball that will make a huge explosion covering most of the area for a few seconds. When he turns a transparent red, look out for the transparent red hand that will appear to the left side (can be blocked). He likes to chain this move with his others, so it might be best to move away from him when you see the transparent hand. When he raises both hands in the air, that means that flames are about to rise up from the ground. As fire appears below you, roll. If you can time it right to where you roll as each fire circle appears below you, then you can dodge this move easily. Be sure to roll in different directions. Extra Tips 1) If you have a Proboscis Fairy-type with "Skull Bomb", then have him perform this attack to take about 25% of Death's life bar. Don't forget to block the blast yourself! +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ~~ 40.00% ~~ When the battle is over you can go through the exit boss door and will find a save room off to the right as you enter the next area. You'll notice the familiar staircase with red carpet up ahead. This will lead you to the final boss of the game - for real this time! Make sure that you are above level 50 so you will stand a chance for this fight. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss 12 - Dracula + HP: 2920 + Weakness: Light + Tolerance: Dark + Steal: Tomato Juice + When to steal: Right after dodging his grab attack. Jump and steal from the upper portion of his body. Be sure to sit in **DRACULA'S THRONE** during this battle to get credit for that chair in the chair room. His throne is up the steps, in the back of the room. Naturally, you will want to wait until Dracula moves away from the chair. He usually starts out by hitting the ground with an orange beam. The line that is formed on the ground will burst into flames after the beam is gone. Dracula will then teleport around the room while unleasing attacks. He can only be hit from his backside most of the time. If you try to hit him from the front he will throw his cape up toward your attacks avoiding them completely. If he yells out "I'll reduce you to ashes!" this means he is about to teleport next to you and try to grab and bite you. Right after he teleports, wait a second, then roll and do a sidestep to avoid the grab. For his other attacks, he may unleash a row of purple spikes from the ground. He will hold up his right hand and yell out "Go!" before doing this attack. The spikes will continue to pop up out of the ground for a few seconds and will leave a trail of spikes that will stay in place until they stop emerging. During this move, run around Dracula and time it so that the spikes stop just before you reach his back and you can get a full combo out on him. The red fireballs that he shoots out can be blocked even if they explode next to you. He will eventually turn into a bunch of bats and go back up to his throne to do the beam attack again. Once he is down to his second bar, he will start to do a new attack when you get close to him, in which he will unleash a giant explosion starting from the ground below him. Once the orange light appears below Dracula, roll and sidestep backwards as fast as you can. The important thing to remember while fighting Dracula is to hit him sparingly and be sure to watch his every move. The only time you can get a full combo in safely is after his spike attack. Extra Tips: 1) If you want to make this battle insanely short, have a Twinkle Rod Mage-type ID with "Twinkle Star" and hit him with it twice. 2) Have your Battle-type summoned and set him to "Guard" so it will boost your attack for the fight. The ID will not be hit unless Dracula showers him with attacks. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Boss 13 - Dracula (Demon Form) + HP: 7500 + Weakness: N/A + Tolerance: Dark + Steal: Vampire Blood + When to steal: As he flies toward the platform with a dashing punch, you can steal from him the second he stops. Try to roll out of the way and then immediately steal from him. Another way is to do a double jump as he dashes toward the platform and steal from him as you're landing. For this battle, you can only hit Dracula whenever he is right next to the platform that you are standing on. He will start out in the background. His background moves include a beam attack where he will shoot out a beam and circle the platform that you are on. Get to the one of the sides and double jump over the beam as he passes by on the right and left side. For one of his other attacks, he will shoot greenish fireballs at you. When the background turns green that is a sign that is about to perform this attack. Run around the platform into the foreground and background making a circle to avoid this. He may also send a wave of electricity toward you. You will need to time a jump carefully to avoid it. He may eventually do a dashing punch toward the platform that you are on - you must roll to avoid this. Sometimes he will fly to the back of the platform causing you to have to adjust the camera. When he is next to you, hit him until he starts to do an attack, then quickly dodge to one of the sides or block it. Most of his physical attacks will leave blood trails that will damage you if you touch them. The only attack that does not leave a blood trail is his sideswipe move. He will yell out "I'll crush you!" before doing this swipe. Dodge in the direction of his arm to avoid this attack or block it. If he hits you with this attack, he will hold you up and start to crush you with his hand. Most of his physical attacks (including the blood trails) can be blocked, but the overhead attack and most of his background attacks must be dodged. -- Extra Tips If you have any Innocent Devils left then now is good time to use them. If their attacks are useless, then summon them and set them to "Guard" to at least use their stat bonuses for a while. If you have a strong battle-type Innocent Devil this will definitely help you take down this form faster. 1) If your bird-type Innocent Devil has "Carpet Bombs" (Skull Wing ability from red gems), then use it whenever Dracula gets close to the platform for some extremely good results. 1) If you have a Corpsey (battle-type) Innocent Devil, then have him use his bone storm or set him to auto and he will really be able to help you out quite a bit for this battle depending on his current level. Corpsey is invincible during his bone storm, so if Dracula tries to hit him, it will pass right through him. Level 50+ Corpseys will yield the best results. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ~~ 100.00 COMPLETE (Dracula's Castle 7F Outside) ~~ And that is it!

You will need to make Isaac's Chauve-Souris spear in order to evolve the final type. Here is a broken down list of everthing that you will need for the Chauve- Souris: CHAUVE-SOURIS = Trident x1 + Versatile Spear x1 + Devil's Vein x1 + Dark Crystal x1 Versatile Spear = Trident x1 + Naginata x1 + Ether x1 + Pholgiston x1 Trident = Sasumata x1 + Ether x1 + Aquamarine x1 Sasumata = Ceremonial Tool x1 + Spirit of Fuji x1 Naginata = Sasumata x1 + Steel x1 Material Locations: Devil's Vein - steal from Isaac 1 (boss in Cordova Town) or open the treasure chest once the lake drains to the side of the first save point in the Forest of Jigramunt Dark Crystal - steal from Evil Core (before Legion boss door) Ether - steal from Mage Shaman Aquamarine - steal from Fishman Pholgiston - steal from Flame Demon Steel - item drop from Bone Soldier, Dark Warlock, Great Armor Ceremonial Tool - steal from Vassago or Blaze Master Spirit of Fuji - steal from Lesser Demon After you have made the Chauve-Souris, you must summon your Devil-type while in his second evolution and use your Chauve-Souris spear to defeat enemies. He will evolve into the third form known as "The End" after you have collected enough green crystals. ++ The Pumpkin-type Innocent Devil The Devil Forge for the Pumpkin-type ID is found on 6F of Dracula's Castle. In the northeast room with two orcs, use your Devil-type's Magic Circle ability to go under the crack on the north wall and you will enter a corridor with Devil Forge door at the end. Once you enter, you will find the Pumpkin-type lying in the forge, but he will not move. In order to awaken the sleeping Pumpkin-type, you will need to make the Pumpkin Mace and strike him with it after you make it. Here is a broken down list of everthing that you will need for the Pumpkin Mace: PUMPKIN MACE = Piko Piko Hammer x1 + Pumpkin Head x1 Piko Piko Hammer = Mace x1 + Miracle Egg x1 Mace = Gano x1 + Steel x1 Pumpkin Head = Iron Mask x1 + Miracle Egg x1 Iron Mask = Face Guard x1 + Red Steel x1 Face Guard = Stone Mask x1 + Gano x1 Stone Mask = Jade x1 + Sun Tears x1 Gano = Short Sword x1 + Wild Memory x1 Short Sword = Bronze x2 Material Locations: Miracle Egg - rare item drop from Evil Core, item drop from Golden Bones Red Steel - item drop from Armored Sprinter, Harpy, Necromancer, Undead Lord Jade - rare item drop from Assassin Zombie Sun Tears - steal from Efreet Wild Memory - item drop from Fenrir, Skeleton Blaze, Zombie ++ Unlocking the Final Three Evolutions for the Pumpkin-type Much like the Devil-type ID, you will have to use a special weapon to evolve the Axe, Sword, and Special final evolutions for the Pumpkin Type. After you have made the required weapon, summon the Pumpkin-type and defeat enemies with the proper weapon to have him evolve into his final form. For the Axe evolution, you will need to make Death's Scythe: DEATH'S SCYTHE = 7 Bladed Sword x1 + Battle Axe x1 + Chauve-souris x1 + Death's Pulse x1 7 Bladed Sword = Damascus Sword x1 + Short Sword x6 + Beelzebub's Seal x1 + Dark Crystal x1 Damascus Sword = Kris Naga x1 + Damascus Steel x1 Kris Naga = Ada x1 + Dragon Scale x1 + Ether x1 + Ancient Memory x1 Ada = Short Sword x1 + Gano x1 + Ceremonial Tool x1 + Wild Memory x1 Short Sword = Bronze x2 Gano = Short Sword x1 + Wild Memory x1 Battle Axe = Bardiche x1 + Dragon Killer x1 + Forgotten Memory x1 Bardiche = Bullova x1 + Morgenstern x1 Bullova = Gano x1 + Ancient Memory x1 Gano = Short Sword x1 + Wild Memory x1 Morgenstern = Mace x1 + Carbon Steel x1 + Holy Man's Vein x1 Mace = Gano x1 + Steel x1 Dragon Killer = Nodachi x1 + Claymore x1 + Ceramics x1 Nodachi = Bamboo Sword x1 + Steel x1 + Spirit of Fuji x1 Bamboo Sword = Ancient Memory x1 + Wild Memory x1 Claymore = Zweihander x1 + White Steel x1 Zweihander = Short Sword x2 + Knight's Vein x1 Chauve-Souris = See Unlocking Third Devil-type For the Sword evolution, you will need to make the Short Sword: SHORT SWORD = Bronze x2 For the Special evolution, you will need to make the Frying Pan: FRYING PAN = Phlogiston x1 + Ether x1 + Steel x1 Material Locations: Death's Pulse - steal from Death Beelzebub's Seal - rare item drop from Unicorns Dark Crystal - steal from Evil Core Damascus Steel - steal from Iron Gladiator Dragon Scale - steal from Skeleton Rider Ether - steal from Mage Shaman Ancient Memory - item drop from Blaze Master, Fishman, and Sniper Orc Ceremonial Tool - steal from Vassago or Blaze Master Wild Memory - item drop from Fenrir, Skeleton Blaze, Zombie Bronze - item drop from Skeleton Ceramics - item drop from Rapid Sniper and Skeleton Trooper Forgotten Memory - item drop from Amduscias and Unicorn Carbon Steel - steal from Great Armor; rare item drop from Sniper Orc Holy Man's Vein - steal from Dead Fencer or Dead Baron Steel - item drop from Bone Soldier, Dark Warlock, Great Armor White Steel - item drop from Ghoul and White Gravial Spirit of Fuji - steal from Lesser Demon Knight's Vein - item drop from Bone Soldier (rare), Dead Baron, Dead Fencer, Phantom Sword, Spectral Sword Phlogiston - steal from Flame Demon ++ Tower of Eternity/Tower of Evermore The Tower of Eternity is located in the northeast point of the Forest of Jigramunt. This tower consists of 50 floors of enemies. Once you reach the top, summon a Bird-type ID with the "Long Glide" ability and stand in between the two torches on top and glide directly ahead to reach the Tower of Evermore. The Tower of Evermore is yet another tower consisting of 50 floors except this tower has much harder enemies. At the very bottom of the Tower of Evermore, you will face the Golden Bones. He has 10,000 HP and will drop a Miracle Egg once you defeat him. (more info coming soon on this) ++ The Extra Bosses (Legion and Nuculais) In order to find the extra bosses, you will need to have your Devil-type with you and go to the southwest most corner of Garibaldi Temple and use the "Magic Circle" ability to under the crack in the wall in that room. Head down the stairs to B1 at the end of the corridor and follow that path until you reach a save room and the boss door for these two bosses.

Requirement : Default ability. What I think: Well, she does open chests for you and there are quite a bit of them, so "A winner is you!" ** 5/5 ** Heal Lv.1 (MP: 10) Description : The Fairy-type will heal 20 HP of your life. Requirement : Default ability. What I think: This is only good for the very beginning of the game. Time Heal owns it though unless you're not a patient person. ** 3/5 ** ++ Herbest Antidote (MP: 5) Description : With the wave of her wand, the Fairy-type will automatically cure Hector if he is poisoned. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Poison is one of the more annoying status effects and a few enemies will use this status effect, including a boss, so it is rather useful in some instances. ** 3/5 ** Heal Lv.2 (MP: 20) Description : The Fairy-type will restore 50 HP to Hector. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: You get a little bit more of an HP replenish here for your hearts when compared to Heal Lv.1. Not too bad. ** 4/5 ** ++ Leaffle Time Heal (MP: 6) Description : The Fairy-type will cast a spell that will heal you a little over a period of time. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This is one of my favorite abilities early in the game since it will heal a descent amount for a low MP cost and it works well to heal you just a little while battling. ** 4/5 ** Poison Powder (MP: 0) Description : The Fairy-type will attack the enemy and possibly poison them. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: While the poison statue does not take off much, this ability is rather good since it can help to weaken the enemy as you attack them. It even works on the boss in the Machine Tower. ** 3/5 ** ++ Hornet Stone Breaker (MP: 5) Description : The Fairy-type will take out a hammer when Hector has been stoned and will break him out. She will automatically do this when the "Stone" status is applied to Hector. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Stone is one of the worst status effect when surrounded by a group of enemies, but not that enemies use it, so this ability isn't all that useful except for in certain areas. ** 3/5 ** Lucky Slot (MP: 10) Description : A bubble will pop up on the side of the screen and the amount of healing that the fairy will do will depend on the results of the slot. Tap the Innocent Devil Action button to stop the slots. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Unless you're a gambling man that depends on healing through chance, this is basically useless. ** 1/5 ** ++ Killer Bee Heal Lv.3 (MP: 30) Description : The Fairy-type will restore 100 HP to Hector. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This restores a pretty good amount for Hector later in the game and the MP used isn't all that bad. ** 4/5 ** Curse Breaker (MP: 5) Description : The Fairy-type will cure Hector automatically when he is Cursed. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This is useful while fighting a bunch of Ectoplasms or during the Dullahan battle if cursed. ** 3/5 ** ++ Honey Bee Healing Field (MP:10) Description : The Fairy-type will set up a small blue field that Hector can step into in order to heal himself. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This can heal about a good 150-200 HP if you stay in it the maximum amount of time but it is sometimes hard to keep Hector positioned inside the healing field during an intense fight. This is quite a good healing ability, however, for such a low MP cost. ++ Comet Star Twinkle Shot (MP: 0) Description : The Fairy-type will make a glowing star with her wand then fire out a burst of stars at the enemy. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Aggressive fairy-type attacks are very rare and this ability will deal some decent damage, plus it's free! The fairy will do this randomly. ** 3/5 ** Lullaby (MP: 0) Description : The fairy-type will hum some tunes that will put the surrounding enemies asleep. This ability is random and very rare. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: If this had more distance it would be much better, but the fairy will only put enemies asleep in her immediate area, not too mention this ability is very rare - you'll most likely see dozens of Twinkle Shots before one Lullaby. ** 2/5 ** Heal Lv.4 (MP: 50) Description : The Fairy-type will restore 200 HP. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This is the best normal heal spell that you will get, but it takes quite a bit of hearts to use. Still, this will give you quite a chunk of your life back at once and will be useful for many of the later boss battles. ** 4/5 ** ++ Tiara Healing Drop (MP: 6) Description : The Fairy-type will cast a spell on Hector in which whatever enemy he hits will drop several small green droplets that will restore his life by 2 HP each. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: If this ability would last a bit longer if wouldn't be so much more helpful, but with a full room of enemies you can really rack up the droplets regardless and for only 6 HP as well! There must be enemies present in order to heal yourself however. ** 3/5 ** Crystal Skull (MP: 20) Description : The Fairy-type will throw a crystal skull at Hector causing him to turn invisible for a few seconds. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The enemies will not be able to see Hector during his invisibility so they will not attack him, however this will not work on bosses. ** 3/5 ** ++ Tiramisu Gold Heal (MP: 6) Description : For a fee of 5,000 gold, the Fairy-type will restore all of Hector's life. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: 5,000 gold is a pretty steep fee, but this is useful in the final battle if you need to go all out. ** 3/5 ** Decipher (MP: 0) Description : The Fairy-type will translate any visible text that you find. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This is supposed to be helpful in revealing the third Devil-type, but has really only added a separate question to the game as well. Who is Shyovasli anyway? Check the Frequently Asked Questions section to find out. ** 1/5 ** Invincible Vase (MP: 30) Description : The Fairy-type will throw the famous Invincible Jar that will shield you from any enemy attacks for a few seconds. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This will last you for about 10 seconds and Hector will be totally impervious to harm once the jar it thrown. This will also give you a cheezey alternative for Boss 11's steal window. ** 5/5 ** ++ Proboscis Fairy Press It and See (MP: 0) Description : The Fairy-type will search to find buttons along walls... Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Well, there is only one purpose, and that is for that button in the Aiolin Ruins... ** 1/5 ** Just a Little (MP: 0) Description : The Fairy-type will start to dance then heal you either greatly or restore 1 HP. He will shout, "Whatever you want!" when he heals you a bunch. This ability will only appear from time to time. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This is totally useless unless you enjoy gambling with how much is healed. The fairy will very rarely ever restore you to full health. ** 1/5 ** Skull Bomb (MP: 10) Description : The Fairy-type will tell you to get away then plant a bomb in the area, which will explode and damage all nearby enemies. Hold the block button to avoid getting hit by the bomb. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This ability will only minimally damage surrounding enemies, plus you have to guard in order to not get hit yourself. A novelty ability at best for the most part. The explosion looks cool though and it is useful for boss 11! ** 2/5 ** Refresh (MP: 5) Description : The Fairy-type will heal you of any abnormal status that you may have. Notice that he hits Hector with the Piko-piko hammer. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This is by far his most useful ability since he will instantly heal any status abnormalities that you get. ** 4/5 ** =============================================================================== = Battle Type = =============================================================================== ______ ______ ______ ______ / \ / \ / \ /Liquid\ ( Rasetz ) (-Corpsey) (Ironside) ( Golem ) \______/ \______/ \______/ \______/ \\ || \\ // \\ || A/Spc Spr/K/Sw \\ || ______ \\____// \\ || / \ /Jugger\ A/Spc Sw/K ( -Iytei ) ( naut ) \\ || \______/ \______/ \\ || \\ // \\ || Spc A/Spr/K/Sw \\ __||__ \\____// \/-Speed\ / \ ( Mail ) ( -Golem ) \______/ \______/ \\ // Spr/K/A Sw/Spc \\____// / \ (-Magmard) \______/ ++ All Battle-types Brute Force (MP: 4) Description : The Battle-type will uppercut whatever is in front of it. Requirement : This ability is gained in Garibaldi Temple in a room right after the boss fight. Equip the Battle-type ID and have him stand in the glowing circle. All Battle-types will be born with this from that moment on. What I think: The uses for this ability are very minimal outside of opening doors. It can be used to uppercut an enemy whose steal window is activated by such, but other than that, it only takes off descent damage and is usually too short range to hit anything. ** 2/5 ** ++ Magmard Aura Blast (MP: 15) Description : The Battle-type will hold out it's hands and create a wave of energy that will hit any enemies around it. Requirement : Default ability. What I think: At high levels, this ability is very destructive, but it would be ultimate if it had more distance. ** 4/5 ** ++ Golem Hip Press (MP: 12) Description : The Battle-type will jump into the air and cannonball down to the ground sending a shockwave attack throughout its current area. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This move lacks distance, but it take off a heavy amount and will sometimes even paralyze an enemy. The attack also has a slow startup. ** 3/5 ** Hip Press Lv.2 (MP: 12) Description : This is the exact same as the Hip Press except this time rocks will fall from the ceiling when the Battle-type hits the ground. Requirement : Successfully perform 100 chain combos with current I.D. form. Please note that the ID MUST hit the enemy during the chain for it to count toward this ability. What I think: It's basically the same but thanks to the falling rocks it will have a bit more distance, and this help you reach a secret area in the Forest of Jigramunt (see walkthrough). ** 4/5 ** ++ Speed Mail Heavenly Sword (MP: 10) Description : The Battle-type will hold up his sword as Daggers rain down upon his foes. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The daggers are good for constant damage to an enemy, but they don't hit as often as you think they would and the damage is minimal. Still this is a decent ability for early in the game. ** 4/5 ** ++ Juggernaut Homing Eye (MP: 15) Description : The Battle-type will generate a group of floating eyeballs that will seek out enemies and hit them. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This could be such a good ability if there wasn't such a delay at the beginning. The homing eyes will float in the air for quite a while before they actually fly toward an enemy. The homing eyes take descent damage, however, and there are quite a few, but the delay kills the potential here. ** 2/5 ** Brute Force Lv.2 (MP: 4) Description : The Battle-type will uppercut the area in front of him. This will allow you to open that big iron door in Infinte Corridor. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Just like the normal Brute Force, this is basically just a waste of hearts unless you're trying to use it to steal. ** 2/5 ** ++ Iytei Shoulder Ride (MP: 1) Description : Hector will get on the Battle-type's shoulder and you will basically be able to control the battle type. Tap the attack button three times to do a basic combo, or charge into the enemy and ram them. If they Battle-type is hit then Hector will fall off. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: It's an interesting ability, and fun to use if you can avoid being hit, but the Battle-type moves rather slow. ** 3/5 ** Ultra Scream (MP: 8) Description : The Battle-type will scream producing a transparent void around It that will sometimes paralyze an enemy. The void will hit enemies in the front and the back of the Battle-type. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: To be such a novelty-looking Battle-type, this is a rather good ability since it will basically shield the battle-type as he screams. The paralyzing effect will actually paralyze some high level enemies as well. ** 5/5 ** ++ Liquid Golem Mercury Sphere (MP: 20) Description : The Batte-type will form a blob of mercury and begin to move around the area and hit foes in his invincible liquid form. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The Battle-type will hit the enemies sparingly and will only take off normal damage, but he will remain invincible the entire time. As already mentioned, the hit rate is lacking a bunch with this ability. ** 2/5 ** Magma Mode (MP: 30) Description : The Battle-type will heat himself up, turning him an orange color, and will attack continuously on his foes while in this mode. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The Battle-type will go on a berserk frenzy while this ability is activated and attack continuously, which he normally doesn't do. The ability last for quite a while as well. ** 3/5 ** ++ Ironside Chain Punch (MP: 10) Description : The Battle-type will hold up both of his fist and launch them in the direction of the enemy. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The Batte-type will only hit what is directly in front of him and a bit to the side. This will take off mid to high damage as well. The only flaw is that any attack will interrupt this ability and cause the battle-type to stagger. It's still a great ability for a cheap MP costs though. ** 4/5 ** Machine Gun Shot (MP: 15) Description : The Battle-type will blast the immediate area around his front side with his arm machine gun. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This will only take off mid damage but the shots will spray the whole area in front of the Battle-type hitting enemies multiple times in the process. Just like the other ability, he can be knocked out of this one as well. ** 4/5 ** ++ Corpsey Grand Wave (MP: 8) Description : The Battle-type will leap into the air and hit the ground with his sword creating a wave of yellow energy that will shoot out in front of him. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: His other ability totally overshadows this one, but Grand Wave does have some descent range though it's not too useful. ** 2/5 ** Bone Storm (MP: 12) Description : The Battle Type will shower the enemy in front of him with a stream of several bones. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This is one of the best Battle-type abilities that you will come across. Corpsey provides a great spread of bones that will knock away or put a constant hurt on any enemy that is in front of him. Abuse it! ** 5/5 ** ++ Rasetz Grand Wave (MP 8) Description : See Corpsey Grand Wave. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Same thing as Corpsey's Grand Wave. ** 2/5 ** Glow Soul (MP :20) Description : The Battle-type will let lose blue souls one by one that will attack the surrounding enemies in the area. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The souls will hit hard and knock down any enemy that it comes into contact with, but the souls will only take medium damage and will not last that long. It's still a good ability for an ok heart cost. ** 4/5 ** =============================================================================== = Bird Type = =============================================================================== ______ ______ ______ ______ /-Blags\ / \ / \ / \ ( death ) (Gargoyle) ( Indigo ) (-Crimson) \______/ \______/ \______/ \______/ \\ // \\ // Sw/Spr/K A/Spc Spr/K Sw/A/Spc \\____// ______ \\____// / \ / \ /-Wingo\ ( -Khaos ) (-Phoenix) ( saurus) \______/ \______/ \______/ \\ \\ // Sw/K/Spr/Spc/A Spr/K/Spc Sw/A \\_____ \\____// / Gold \ /-Skull\ ( finch ) ( Wing ) \______/ \______/ \\ // Spr/K/Spc Sw/A \\____// / \ ( Crow ) \______/ ++ Crow Glide (MP: 0) Description : Hector will grab onto the feet of the Bird-type and glide a short distance. Requirement : Default ability. What I think: This ability is needed for a few areas, though the fact the fact that there is a better glide is what keep me from going any higher than a... ** 4/5 ** ++ Goldfinch Caltrops (MP: 10) Description : The Bird-type will drop bombs around the area below him and they will explode to damage the surrounding enemies. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Carpet Bombs is much better than this ability, but Caltrops has slightly more range though it does not hit near as well. ** 2/5 ** ++ Skull Wing Carpet Bombs (MP: 15) Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. Description : The Bird-type will fly around the area and bomb any enemy below him. What I think: This is one of the best early abilities that you will get and it last for quite a while. The ability will eat a big enemy for breakfast and will instantly knock down smaller enemies. It works good against most bosses as well. ** 5/5 ** Bone Shot (MP: 10) Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. Description : The Bird-type will shoot out a small spray of bones at the enemy. What I think: This will work good until you get Corpsey's Bone Storm since it is like a weaker version of that ability. It will pin enemies down a bit more than Bone Storm, but it doesn't last near as long. ** 3/5 ** ++ Khaos Sphere of Darkness (MP: 15) Description : The Bird-type will unleash four fireballs that will explodes upon contact with the enemy. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The fireballs that are unleashed by the Bird-type will explose upon contact taking medium damage from any enemy that they touch. The fireballs travel very slow and the fireballs are all gone after one hit. ** 3/5 ** ++ Phoenix Fire Bird (MP: 12) Description : The Bird-type will surround itself with fire and randomly swoop around the area and attack enemies. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Each hit takes off medium damage from the enemy. As the description says however, the Bird-type will hit randomly and will not target an enemy making this ability very unreliable. ** 2/5 ** Big Bang (MP: 49) Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies Lv. 25 or above with current I.D. form. Description : Phoenix will sacrifice itself and cause major damage to all enemies on the screen. This will not work against most bosses, however other evil ID's that you encounter will really hate it (see Stage 6 boss fight). What I think: Against the Stage 6 boss this is an immediate 5/5, but against a group of enemies this is pretty useless since it costs the ID his life. ** 2/5 ** ++ Wingosaurus Long Glide (MP: 0) Description : This is the ultimate form of "Glide" and will let you float a greater distance than the original ability. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Just because you can reach one extra place in Infinite Corridor with this ability, I will give it one point higher than normal glide. ** 5/5 ** Deadly Absorb (MP: 30) Description : The Bird-type will drain an enemy of its life force and give it to Hector. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Target the enemy for the best results. This ability will only drain a slight amount from the enemy and sometimes it doesn't want to hit that well. The high MP cost isn't a plus either. ** 2/5 ** ++ Blagsdeath Beat Progress (MP: 6) Description : The Bird-type will swoop down to the nearest enemy and unleash a flurry of kicks upon him. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This can be highly damaging on any big enemy since every kick in the rapid kick combination will take off a fair amount of damage. If the Bird-type kills an enemy it will move on to the next closest enemy. This is a real good deal for such a low MP cost. ** 5/5 ** ++ Gargoyle Conflict Fall (MP: 10) Description : The Bird-type will rear its legs back and kick the enemy with a powerful kick. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This ability is highly damaging and the fact that it only takes 10 MP makes it even better. The charge for the kick is slightly slow, but the damage more than makes up for it. ** 5/5 ** Force Cannon (MP: 15) Description : The Bird-type will fire a laser three times at the enemy. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: It takes about mid damage and the fact that he does it three times makes it fairly useful. He will always aim for the nearest enemy per laser shot. Conflict Fall still overshadows this however. ** 3/5 ** ++ Indigo (MP: 8) Icicle Shot Description : The Bird-type will fire three ice shots at the enemy. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The delay before the first ice shot is not good and the shots do not hit fast at all. One good thing about this ability is the fact that it might freeze the enemy, though not too often. ** 3/5 ** Blizzard Breath (MP: 30) Description : The Bird-type will breathe an ice breath around the area. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This is an extremely good ability for a group of enemies since it has a high probability of freezing them in place. The damage is not the best, but the fact that it almost always freezes the enemy really makes this ability good. ** 5/5 ** ++ Crimson Ignition Blow (MP: 10) Description : The Bird-type will breathe out three fireballs toward an enemy. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The fireballs hit hard, knocking down any normal enemy, and will take off medium damage. He will only breathe out three fireballs but these come out much faster than the Indigo's icicles. ** 4/5 ** Flame Breath (MP: 15) Description : The Bird-type will breathe out a stream of flames around the surrounding area. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The flame will take off medium damage as it moves around the area. Unlike the Indigo's Blizzard Breath, there is no extra status effect sadly. ** 4/5 ** =============================================================================== = Mage Type = =============================================================================== ______ ______ ______ ______ / \ / \ / \ / \ (-Eyeball) ( Embryo ) (-Crystal) (-Twinkle) \______/ \______/ \______/ \______/ \\ // \\ // \\ // Spr/A Sw/K/Spc Sw/Spr A/K/Spc Sw/A/Spr Spc \\____// \\____// \\____// / Naut \ / \ / Goat \ ( ilus ) ( Ogre ) ( Head ) \______/ \______/ \______/ \\ // \\ // Spr/K/Spc Sw/A Sw/A/Spc Spr/K \\____// \\____// / \ / \ (-Scissor) ( -Talon ) \______/ \______/ \\ // Sw/K A/Spr/Spc \\____// / \ ( Wood ) \______/ ++ Wood Rod Time Stop (MP: 40) Description : The Mage-type will stop time for a certain amount of time. Requirement : Default skill. What I think: You'll have to have this for a few of the puzzles in the game and in order to activate the steal window for boss 7. Overall the move is only moderately useful in normal enemy fights since you'll only have a few seconds to hit enemies while they are frozen in place. ** 3/5 ** Lightning Strike (MP: 8) Description : The Mage-type will hold up its staff and summon a single lightning bolt from the sky. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This ability is good for a quick hit on the enemy, especially when they are weak against thunder, but against a normal enemy, it will only do moderate damage. ** 3/5 ** ++ Scissor Rod Floating B (MP: 20) Description : Three glowing red fireballs will appear around Hector and damage any enemy that he comes into contact with. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The hit rate should be a lot better than what it is with these. The fireballs will only hit every few seconds while in close contacts and will not hit quickly as you would expect. For the price of 20 hearts this is not worth it. ** 2/5 ** Sorcery Flame (MP: 20) Description : The Mage-type will spew a steady stream of flames from its staff in whatever direction Hector is facing. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This will put a constant hurt on any enemy leaving them helpless while they stagger from the constant fire. It's very useful against any enemy that is weak against fire. If only this lasted as long and had the distance of Bone Storm, it would be just as ultimate. ** 4/5 ** ++ Talon Rod Circle Scissors (MP: 20) Description : The Mage-type will create an energy blade that will spin around Hector and hit anything that he is next to. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This ability will only take off minimal damage from anything that it hits, but it will last for quite a while and keep some of the enemies around you away (the ones that stagger after one hit). The minimal damage sends this ability to its grave, however, complete with the moderately high MP cost. ** 1/5 ** Freeze (MP: 20) Description : The Mage-type will summon shards of ice near the enemy and will most likely freeze the enemy in place. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Like the name suggest, the ability will unsually freeze an enemy in place with ice, but it does not always work properly. The freeze hit will take off moderate damage and it if it actually freezes then Hector will be able to hit the enemy while it is frozen in place. The Mage-type can only freeze one enemy at a time. ** 3/5 ** ++ Nautilus Rod Purify (MP: 0) Description : The Mage-type will enshroud the enemy in a pillar of light, which will instantly kill an undead enemy. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The fact that it instantly kills any undead enemy makes it fairly useful, but the Mage-type will only do this spell randomly so you will have to wait on him. Usually he will do it automatically when fighting an undead enemy though. ** 4/5 ** Satellite B (MP: 20) Description : Three pods will appear around Hector and they will each fire at any enemy that Hector is facing. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: All the shots will take minor to moderate damage from the enemy and the pods will stay for a good amount of time, though you have to face the enemy in order for these to work. ** 3/5 ** ++ Ogre Rod Agnea (MP: 20) Description : The Mage-type will let loose several currents of electricity that will fry any enemy in his way. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Even though this ability only takes moderate damage it will hit rapidly causing it to take off quite a bit of damage from any enemy in front of the Mage-type. The Mage-type will pick the closest enemy and let loose the electricity currents in that area. Quite a good ability. ** 5/5 ** Synchron Saucer B (MP: 20) Description : Three flying spiked discs will revolve around Hector and attack any enemy that comes into contact with him. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The hit rate for this ability is horrible. You would think with three spinning disc that this would hit rapidly but that is not the case at all here. Combine that with the moderate damage and you have an ability that is a waste of MP. ** 1/5 ** ++ Goat Head Argent B (MP 20) Description : Three shurikens will surround Hector and attack any enemy that gets near him. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This ability has one major downside - you see, the shurikens all come together when they attack an enemy. Combine this with a very small damage rate and you have one incredibly useless ability for a high MP cost. Brilliant! ** 1/5 ** Salamander (MP: 30) Description : The Mage-type will let lose a flame dragon that will fly around the area and randomly attack enemies. Requirement : Run around non-stop with Hector for about an hour. Find a big room so that Hector can run in a complete circle then place a rubber band around both analogs so that they face each other. Return to the game in about an hour and you will have gained this skill. This is no joke! What I think: The flame dragon will take off medium damage and this will really work well for big enemies. If it wouldn't hit smaller enemies so randomly this wouldn't have any flaws other than the moderately high MP cost. ** 4/5 ** ++ Eyeball Rod Tension Boost (MP: 20) Description : Three crystal-shaped objects circle Hector allowing him to take a little more damage than what he usually does - about half more. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The ability last for about a good 10 seconds and the cost isn't too bad, but you really don't take off that more damage than usual. ** 3/5 ** Homing (MP: 20) Description : The Mage-type fires several laser shots that will seek out the nearest enemy. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This will not take that much damage per shot, but all the shots will hit together for a higher damage rate. The shots will spread out when the enemies are in groups. If the MP cost was a bit lower this would be more useful. ** 4/5 ** ++ Embryo Rod Explosion B (MP: 20) Description : Three orbs will float around Hector and explode upon contact with any enemy. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The explosion produced from the orbs has a much better range than you would think and these things take off a pretty good bit when they hit. Each orb will disappear after exploding. ** 4/5 ** Demonic Disaster (MP: 35) Description : The Mage-type will create a vortex of light next to the closest enemy that will eventually explode and take off major damage from any enemy near it. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: The only flaw with this ability is the delay before the explosion, but everything else is great. The Mage-type will plant the vortex in front of the nearest enemy. The range is about the same as the Battle-type's Aura Blast. ** 5/5 ** ++ Crystal Rod Shield (MP: 20) Description : The Mage-type will make a shield around Hector that will protect him from any one-hit attack. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This will only protect you from ONE enemy attack, so it will be gone if an enemy does a chain attack that hits twice and you will have to block the second hit. The shield will stay until Hector is hit once. ** 3/5 ** Meteo (MP: 40) Description : A large meteor will rain down from the sky and take off major damage from an enemy in its path. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This is going to drain that MP gauge fast with its high MP cost, but it does take off quite a bit and will hit multiple enemies. ** 4/5 ** ++ Twinkle Rod Twinkle Star (MP: 40) Description : A giant star will fall from the sky and cause holy damage against the surrounding enemies. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: Against an enemy that is weak against holy this attack will pulverize them. It can easily kill boss 12 in two hits. ** 4/5 ** Dancing Star (MP: 20) Description : Three stars will appear and float around Hector and hit any enemies near him. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: This is much like Circle Scissors, but the ability actually has a pretty high damage rate this time. Enemies that are weak against holy will feel the burn with this ability. ** 3/5 ** =============================================================================== = Devil Type = =============================================================================== ______ / -The \ ( End ) \______/ || || Collect crystals with Chauve-Souris || __||__ / \ ( Brow ) \______/ || || Sw/Spr/Spc/K/A || __||__ / \ ( Gale ) \______/ ++ Gale Magic Circle (MP: 10) Description : The Devil-type will open a portal and Hector will sink down into it and you will be able to move under walls or just move around freely without having to worry about getting hit. Requirement : Default ability. What I think: Other than using this to go under walls there is little reason to activate this ability. Hector is invincible while under the floor, but he can be hit during the recovery time while leaping out of the portal. ** 2/5 ** ++ Brow M. Circle Scissors (MP: 15) Description : While in the Magic Circle portal, blades will move out from the edges as you press the attack button and the portal will move directly toward whatever direction you hold. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: It takes off a decent amount of damage and you are totally invincible while using it, but it really doesn't take off damage quick enough to be too effective. ** 3/5 ** Needle Magic Circle (MP: 15) Description : While in the Magic Circle portal, tap the attack button to make needles stick out from all side of the portal. Requirement : Defeat a certain number of enemies with current I.D. form. What I think: You would think this ability would be ultimate, but the hit rate should be much better than what it is. The needles only take off minor damage and they do not hit as fast as you would expect. This move will drain hearts quickly as well. ** 3/5 ** ++ The End Exploding M. Circle (MP: 20) Description : The portal will glow red and an explosion will surface from the portal. Charge the attack button to make the explosion bigger and more damaging. Requirement : Defeat 20 enemies Lv. 30 or higher without damaging player. What I think: This is an extremely damaging move and you are totally invincible while performing it. The only flaw is that it consumes hearts rather fast. ** 5/5 ** =============================================================================== = Pumpkin Type = =============================================================================== ______ ________ ______ /Cursed\ / Whimsi-\ /Genius\ ( Pumpkin)( cal Angel)( Chef ) \______/ \________/ \______/ || || || || || || Death's Scythe Short Sword Frying Pan || || || ______ __||__ __||__ __||__ ______ / \ / \ / Tiny \ /-Clown\ / New \ ( -Queen ) ( Bloody ) ( King ) ( Nose ) ( Delhi ) \______/ \______/ \______/ \______/ \______/ || || || || || \\ \\ || // // \\ \\ || // // \\ \\ || // // \\ \\ || // // K A Sw Spc Spr \\ \\ || // // \\ \\ || // // \\ \\_||_// // \\________/ \________// \________-Pumpkin________/ \______/ All Evolutions Pose (MP: 0) Description : This skill is totally random when you use it.

This whole ID is just basically a novelty and with the radomness of this ability I have to dub thee a... ** 1/5 ** + + + ++++++++++++++ ~~ "Answer me!

Stealing from Death is incredibly tough, and may require you to perfect guard some of his attacks in order to get hearts to stay alive for more chances. Thankfully, many of his moves can be perfect guarded if you get the timing down. Use the fairy-type Innocent Devil to heal yourself while trying. Below are four ways that I know of to steal from him successfully: 1) If you have the "Invincibility Vase" skill from the Tiramisu Fairy-type ID, you should be able to stand in front of him while encased in the fire provided that you do the ability at the right time. In order for his window of steal to still be open while trying this method, you must do the Invincibility Jar as he holds the ball of fire in his hand. It must wear off as soon as the fire starts to go away. Jump and steal from him if you see the purple cursor. 2) Stand in front of Death as he unleashes his big bang attack. Guard the first hit, perfect guard the next ten attacks from it, then jump toward him and steal. For a more descriptive version, stand in front of him as the explosion starts and block the first hit of the attack. As Hector starts to stagger backward, press the block button to perfect guard the first hit, then press the guard button every second after that nine times (for a total of ten times) - jump and steal after the tenth perfect guard. If you accidentally block one of the hits after the first perfect guard then subtract one perfect guard for each normal block (ex. If you accidentally block the attack twice after the first block then subtract 2 perfect guards for a total of 8 perfect guards before jumping). This is the way IGA intended for you to get it since the final perfect guard is timed perfectly with Death's window of steal. 3) If you can mix the above two methods, you may be able to steal from him as well. Have your Invincibility Jar purposely wear off right before the final hit of the big bang, perfect guard the hit, then jump toward Death and steal. A perfect guard right before the steal will increase your chances greatly since the final hit is right before his window of steal opens. 4) Use a Devil-type's "Magic Circle" to move up on Death as the explosion is about to end then quickly end the ability and steal. This will consume many more hearts than the other methods however. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Death Ripper -- > Location: Eneomaos Machine Tower, Dracula's Castle, Tower of Evermore (10F) > Dropped item(s): Ice Cream (rare) > Stolen item: 100 Gold > When to steal: As they land from each jump, and while they recover from their jump attack. You can also steal from him shortly before and after his slide attack. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dracula (boss) -- > Location: Dracula's Castle, Boss Rush Mode > Dropped item(s): N/A > Stolen item: Tomato Juice > When to steal: Right after dodging his grab attack. Jump and steal from the upper portion of his body. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dracula (Demon Form) (boss) -- > Location: Dracula's Castle, Boss Rush Mode > Dropped item(s): N/A > Stolen item: Vampire Blood > When to steal: As he flies toward the platform with a dashing punch, you can steal from him the second he stops. Try to roll out of the way and then immediately steal from him. Another way is to do a double jump as he dashes toward the platform and steal from him as you're landing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Duke Mirage -- > Location: Tower of Evermore (16F, 15F) > Dropped item(s): Light Ring > Stolen item: 500 Gold > When to steal: When he does his dashing thrust attack (many thrusts).

You must be ready for him to do this attack, which means you have to stay right next to him. As he jumps, do a normal jump and steal from him as he reaches the ground. Once you have stolen the item, do another jump in the air and you might be able to avoid the shockwave attack on the ground. He does his jump attack right at the beginning of each battle, so you can steal from him at the start of the boss fight. When stealing at the beginning of the fight, wait about one second as you move forward at the beginning, then jump and steal just before he hits the ground. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Ectoplasm -- > Location: Garibaldi Temple, Mortvia Aqueduct, Infinite Corridor, Tower of Evermore (23F) > Dropped item(s): Uncurse, Curse Sealing Ring (rare) > Stolen item: 50 Gold > When to steal: When it moves towards you and tries to curse you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Efreet -- > Location: Garibaldi Temple (outside), Dracula's Castle, Tower of Eternity (19F), Tower of Evermore (33F) > Dropped item(s): Jet Black, Sunnyside Up Egg (rare) > Stolen item: Sun Tears > When to steal: Attack him until he is extremely low in health and wait for him to grab you and attempt his suicide move.

This will only work on the PS2 version! + + + +++++++ ~~ The ancestors of the Belmont Family are doomed to confront ~~ ++++++ ++++++++++++++++ ~~ the power of evil incarnate...Dracula! ~~ +++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++ - Castlevania: Bloodlines (1994) ++++++++++++++++++++++ ___ Se/ __\tion X [TM00] ~/ /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ / /___ ++ TREVOR MODE MINI GUIDE ++ \____/urse of Darkness ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In Trevor Mode, you will play Hector's game with Trevor and will be able to go anywhere that Hector can go. Trevor can gain 100% on each map as well as find all the chairs in the game. He will automatically start out with some of the abilities that Hector normally has to find (Quick Step, Double Step, Marker). There are no cutscenes or hints so you will have to know what to do when it comes time to do it. Trevor cannot gain any money in any way so whipping candles is basically useless unless you find an occasional meat in a candle. Julia appears to be scared of Trevor so you can't buy any items for him - go to her shop to see what I mean. Potions are always used when you pick them up. Trevor cannot keep a potion like Hector. Trevor cannot carry any items besides the various whips found throughout the game. Trevor will not have to worry about suffering from any status ailments, since he has no way to cure them. Perfect guarding will increase Trevor's HP and Heart count by 1 for each successful perfect guard. Trevor uses the all-great whip for his main weapon and he can find many other whips scattered throughout the game in certain locations, which are described in the mini-walkthrough. To equip a whip, pause the game and select "Equip" then choose your whip. The Vampire Killer will be available from the start. +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Trevor's Special Weapons ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Trevor has his special weapons in place of Innocent Devils: the Dagger, the Axe, the Holy Water, the Boomerang, and the Watch. Cycle thought the different special weapons using the D-pad. All of his special weapons will drain hearts every time you use one. Collect hearts to replenish Trevor's heart gauge just as you would an ID. Trevor has two different styles of attacks with each special weapon: Normal (ID Attack button) and Alternate (Guard + ID Attack button) ++ Dagger Normal: Trevor will throw three daggers toward the enemy. Hearts: 1 Alternate: Trevor will throw a wave of daggers toward the enemy and they will revolve around him while hitting him the entire time. Hearts: 10 ++ Axe Normal: Trevor will throw two axes toward the enemy. Hearts: 5 Alternate: Trevor will hit the ground with a large axe and plow the ground up around him Hearts: 10 ++ Holy Water Normal: Trevor will throw the Holy Water creating a Holy Flame that will circle him for a second. Hearts: 3 Alternate: Trevor will throw the Holy Water creating a Holy Flame that will move along the ground and target the closest enemy. Hearts: 8 ++ Boomerang Normal: Trevor will throw the boomerange in front of him and the boomerange will return shortly. This will hit the enemy when he throws it and as it returns. Hearts: 5 Alternate: Trevor will jump into the air and float creating an aura of Holy energy around him that will damage anything that touches it. Hearts: 15 ++ Watch Normal: Trevor will stop time for a short period. Hearts: 20 Alternate: Trevor will stop time for a longer period. Hearts: 30 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Stat Increases ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Trevor cannot gain experience from defeating enemies, though he can find special items placed in each stage that will allow him to gain stat bonuses. ++ HP Max Up: Increases Trevor's HP.

For this section please note: A = Attack FA = Final Attack G = Guard J = Jump Displayed in the chart below is a rundown of the different ways that Trevor's attacks can connect: *Power Slam (FA) / / / / *Whip Spin (A) *Jumping Uppercut (A) *Rapid Kicks (FA) \ \ / \ \ / \ \ / \ \ / *Whip Strike 3 (A) *Whip Lunge (A) *Double Roundhouse (FA) \ \ / \ \ / \ \ / \ \ / *Whip Strike 2 (A) *Punch (FA) \ / \ / \ / \ / *Whip Strike 1 (A) Trevor's combos with normal attacks can link into the Final Attack combos, but it is a little hard to show in the chart above without it being confusing, so turn your attention to the descriptions below. This is a list of all of Trevor's attack combinations with a description of each. The descriptions are for each single move that is listed and not the entire combination. -- Normal Attack button combos: ++ Whip Strike 1 (A) Trevor will strike his whip to the left. ++ Whip Strike 2 (A - A) Trevor will strike his whip to the right. ++ Whip Strike 3 (A - A - A) Trevor will perform an overhead whip strike. ++ Whip Spin (A - A - A - A) Trevor will spin while moving forward with his whip. -- Final Attack button combos: ++ Punch (A - FA) Trevor will lunge forward with a punch. ++ Double Roundhouse (A - FA - FA) or (A - A - FA) Trevor will perform two stepping roundhouse kicks forward. ++ Rapid Kicks (A - FA - FA - FA) or (A - A - A - FA) Trevor will stand on one leg and deliver a series of kicks finally ending the move with a powerful overhead kick. ++ Whip Lunge (A - FA - A) Trevor will jump and spin directly toward the area in front of him. ++ Jumping Uppercut (A - FA - FA) Trevor will quickly uppercut the enemy and jump into the air with him. ++ Power Slam (A - FA - FA - A) Trevor will dive directly into the ground with a heavy dive attack that will plow up the dirt around him. -- Extra Moves/Combinations ++ Air Whip Spin ([In the air] A - A - A - FA) Trevor will do three normal whip strikes then end the combination with a spinning whip attack while falling. You can also do this move after one or two presses of the Attack button (A - FA, A - A - FA). ++ Whip Uppercut (G + A) Trevor will uppercut the area in front of him with his whip. ++ Somersault Kick Uppercut (A + J) Trevor will perform a somersault kick diaganolly upwards. This is much like the Blaze Master's upward kick. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Special Whip Effects +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + Ice Whip - Sometimes freezes enemies, including two of Isaac's Ids (Abel and Crimson). + Thunder Whip - Sometimes paralyzes enemies. + Holy Whip - Kill all undead enemies in one hit, most of the time. This is the only way to kill a Blood Skeleton with Trevor. See the list below for the location of each whip. ++++++++++ Item Locations/Whip Locations/Boss Tips/Mini-Walkthrough +++++++++++ ++ Stage 1 - Abandoned Castle Trevor's beginning stats: HP 100 Hearts 060 ATK 030 DEF 010 HP Max Up - In the Fairy Devil Forge. DEF Max Up - On B1, in the room with the wine crates. Whip through the wine crates. ATK Up - In the large circular room of B1 where Hector would normally find $100. * In the quiet middle room of B1, whip the third cracked pillar to continue. Crazy Armor Boss - Trevor can literally mop the floor with this boss if you use the alternate dagger special weapon along with his whip spin combo. Use the Thunder Whip in Boss Rush Mode to totally rape him. Crest - Defeat Crazy Armor. Trevor's stats upon leaving Abandoned Castle: HP 180 Hearts 065 ATK 040 DEF 020 ++ Stage 2 - Baljhet Mountains MP Max Up - In the Battle-type Devil Forge. ATK Up - In the southeastern area where Hector normally receives the Perfect Guard Skill. * WHITE MARK (Holy Whip) - In the northern area with the Blood Skeletons, place a White Mark on your map, so you'll know to come back once you have obtained the Holy Whip. * BLUE MARK (Water Drain) - In the southwestern area with the bridge and waterfall, place a Blue Mark on your map, so you'll know to come back after Stage 9. Flame Whip - In the western area where Hector normally gets the Boiling Ring, there is a teleporter that will teleport you up to the Flame Whip. The Flame Whip is on the same platform where Hector would normally find an HP Max Up. Wyvern - You can basically murder this boss just like the Crazy Armor boss as long as you keep the Vampire Killer equipped - the Flame Whip will take less. Take advantage of when he buries his head into the sand and you can basically rape him with constant whip combos ending with the whip spin while he is in the air. The Wyvern will take much more off than Crazy Armor when he hits you so be sure to block his attacks and avoid the flames. Use the Square Tip Whip on this boss in Boss Rush Mode. Surprisingly, he is not weak against the Ice Whip. Crest - Defeat the Wyvern. Trevor's stats upon leaving the Baljhet Mountains: HP 230 Hearts 080 ATK 050 DEF 025 ++ Stage 3 - Garibaldi Temple ATK Up - Break the wall on the west side of Garibaldi Temple before you enter. Wind Whip - On 2F of Garibaldi Temple, this will be on the northwest balcony. RED MARK (later) - Place a red mark in the room that leads you to Legion in the southwestern most point of Garibaldi Temple so you can come back to him later once you get some better whips and stats. You can try him now, but his second form will be able to kill Trevor in about two hits for the moment. Trevor Doppleganger - Arguably, Trevor will fight a different boss from Hector. The Trevor Boss is now weak against light and has a dark attribute. Use your Wind Whip while fighting him and always mix in some physical attack with the Final Attack button since they will take off more than your whip. The Alternate attack of Holy Water will work well against him also. In Boss Rush Mode, use the Holy Whip against the Trevor Doppleganger. Crest - Defeat the Trevor Doppleganger. HP Max Up - On the pedestal in the room where you normally get Brute Force for your Battle-type ID with Hector. This is the room directly after the Trevor fight. DEF Up - At the very bottom of B1 after fighting Trevor. This is the same room where the Sixth Sense Brooch is located with Hector. Trevor's stats upon leaving Garibaldi Temple: HP 310 Hearts 085 ATK 060 DEF 035 ++ Stage 4 - Mortvia Aqueduct Circle Tip Whip - This is found in the room where Hector normally finds the Mortvia Aqueduct map. This room is in the west part of the northern waterway area. DEF Up - Bust through the cracked wall shortly before exiting the waterway area and follow that path all the way to the end to find this in the final room. * Blast the damaged cannon tower to make a bridge over to the next door in the cannon area. BLUE MARK (Water Drain) - In the area with the standing water on 1F, place a Blue Mark in that area on your map so you'll know to come back after Stage 9. * Attack the staff with the glowing top piece in the room at the end of 2F for a staircase to rise out of the floor in front of you. ATK Up - In the drained pool right before the boss door where Hector only gets a potion, Trevor will find an ATK Up. Skeleton Diver - For this boss, you actually have the correct whip to use against him, so equip your flame whip and attack for maximum damage. Attack with the flame whip and this boss will be torn through in a matter of seconds! Crest - Defeat the Skeleton Diver. MP Max Up - In the Bird-type Devil Forge. * A teleporter will appear outside the boss door after the Skeleton Diver has been defeated that will allow you to reach the Forest of Jigramunt. Trevor's stats upon leaving Mortvia Aqueduct: HP 360 Hearts 100 ATK 070 DEF 045 ++ Stage 5 - The Forest of Jigramunt BLUE MARK (Water Drain) - Near the first save room of the Forest of Jigramunt, place a Blue Mark on your map so you'll know to come back to the lake after Stage 9. HP Max Up - When you first enter the cave portion of the Forest of Jigramunt, make a right (head west) and break the cracked wall near the door at the end of the first tunnel to find this upgrade. Hector finds an XS Potion here. DEF Up - In the tunnel after the above tunnel containing the HP Max Up, enter the room to the side to find this on a pedestal. Hector finds the Absolute Zero Ring here. Ice Whip - In the room at the end of area behind the statues, you will find this whip. Hector finds a Dragon Scale here. Minotaurus - Once again, you have the best whip to use on him! Use the Wind Whip mixed with Alternate Boomerang attacks to quickly tear through him before he even has a chance to grab a final pillar. Be sure to get underneath him while he is standing when you do the Alternate Boomergang attack. Crest - Beat Minotaurus. Trevor's stats upon leaving the Forest of Jigramunt: HP 440 Hearts 105 ATK 075 DEF 055 ++ Stage 6 - Cordova Town DEF Up - Use the teleporter to teleport past the bars in the southeastern area of Cordova Town to find this in front of the Park Swing. Hector finds an HP Max Up here. ATK Up - In the B1 area of Cordova Town, you will find this in the middle tunnel. This is in the area past the Bench that leads to Mortvia Aqueduct. Isaac - You have the best weapon for this fight as well! Use the Ice Whip on Isaac. Only use Whip attacks while you attack Isaac - the Whip Spin may be able to hit Abel and freeze him in place. The Alternate Dagger attack is good for keeping Abel occupied also. Crest - Defeat Isaac. MP Max Up - In the Mage-type Devil Forge. * In the long area with the candles, use the Alternate Watch attack to stop time so that you can run up to the door in the back. Trevor's stats upon leaving Cordova Town: HP 490 Hearts 120 ATK 085 DEF 065 ++ Stage 7 - Eneomaos Machine Tower * Hit the lever and use the Alternate Watch attack to stop the timer while you go up the stairs to reach the entrance to the Machine Tower. Thunder Whip - In the first hallway of 2F, break the cracked wall across from the door. This is where Hector finds the Purity Ring. * Hit one of the screw-like objects in the elevator room to make the elevator rise. * Next to the warp room, you will see a teleporter next to the wall with the crack. If you go that way and fight Saint Germain, you will not find a save room before him. You're basically entering his boss room from the back by taking that route. * Use the alternate dagger attack to keep the Death Rippers away while you hit the screw-like object to go up the second elevator. * In the room with the machine structure, attack the pair of gears on the very top to continue to the next area. Saint Germain - Use the Thunder Whip while fighting him to take the most damage from him. He cannot poison you during this fight thanks to Trevor's immunity to all status ailments. The Watch weapon will cancel any of his time moves, but be sure to only use the normal watch attack and not the alternate to save hearts. The normal Holy Water attack works well for stunning him so you can attack. He is also weak against the Abyss Whip in boss rush mode, but the Thunder Whip is still his major weakness. Crest - Beat Saint Germain. HP Max Up - Inside of the Devil-type Devil Forge. * Trevor will have to use a teleporter (pink portals) to move in between walls. ATK Up - Trevor will find this in the Southeast corner room of 2F. This is in the same room where Hector finds the Sacrifice Brooch. Trevor stats upon completing Eneomaos Machine Tower: HP 570 Hearts 125 ATK 095 DEF 070 (It is possible to go and fight the boss at the Abandoned Castle now if you wish) * Warp back to Cordova Town (Center) and use the teleporter to move to the other side of the gate in the area off to the east of the warp room. ++ Stage 8 - Aiolin Ruins DEF Up - Blast the cracked wall on the side of the mountain, to the left of the gate, while inside the Gunnery Seat to have this upgrade fall from the side of the mountain. MP Max Up - In the room with the Leather Chair, in the southwest section of the tunnel past the warp room. Hector receives a Frenzy of Wind from this room. Abyss Whip - In the room with the Hilarious Cushion, in the southeast section of the tunnel past the warp room. Hector receives a HP Max Up in a chest and a Damascus Steel material from this room. ATK Up - On a pedestal in the room with the Comedian's Chair. This is in the middle area past the wall with the button in Hector's game. Hector finds an Orichalcum material in this room. Crest - In the middle of the room in the far west of the Aiolin Ruins. The doors will seal off and Fishmen followed by Jins and Skeleton Troopers will attack. Equip your Abyss Whip and fight them off with that whip mixed with Alternate Holy Water attacks. Try to save most of your special attacks for the Jins and Skeleton Troopers. * Go back to the warp room of the Ailon Ruins then warp back to the Baljhet Mountains and run all the way back to the boss room of the Abandoned Castle and climb the stairs inside to 5F. Trevor Doppleganger 2 - Based off of your current range of whips, use the Circle Tip whip and mix up the attacks with the Alternate attack of Holy Water to quickly dispel his shield. Use the Holy Whip once again in Boss Rush mode. Crest - Defeat Trevor Doppleganger 2. Trevor's stats upon leaving the Aiolin Ruins and fighting Trevor 2: HP 670 Hearts 145 ATK 110 DEF 085 Enter the teleporter after the Trevor 2 fight to enter the next stage. ++ Stage 9 - Infinite Corridor HP Max Up - Directly in front of the door to the warp room on 3F. Holy Whip - Check in the area past the part where Hector normally has to use the long glide ability to reach on 3F. Use the Teleporter below the stairs to get Trevor to the other side. The Holy Whip will be found at the end of the west path past the save point. This is where the Shyovasli insription is. * Use the Watch Normal or Alternate attack to get under the skeleton heads that block the door. Stop time and attack them just like you did with Hector. Dullahan - Equip the Holy Whip and use Holy Water for this fight. When he recovers you can murder him with a Whip combo if you have the Holy Whip. Crest - Defeat Dullahan. * Now for the fun part. After you have beaten Dullahan, you will have to backtrack ALL the way to warp room of Infinite Corridor and teleport to the Mortvia Aqueduct to reach the final stage. Now would be a good time to go back and get any extra items in the areas where the water has drained, where the Blood Skeletons once blocked the way, or you can go fight Legion. Hector's stats upon leaving Infinite Corridor: HP 750 Hearts 150 ATK 115 DEF 090 ++ Backtracking + Baljhet Mountains Backtrack DEF Up - Whip through the Blood Skeletons with your Holy Whip and you'll find this on the pedestal in the next room. DEF Up - In the tunnels to the side of the bridge with the drained water, enter the north room to find this on a pedestal in the back of the Panchinko chair. + Garibaldi Temple Backtrack Legion and Nuculais - Use the Holy Whip mixed with Alternate Dagger attacks (to keep the zombies away) on Legion then use the Abyss Whip on Nuculais. You may be able to beat Nuculais before he even gets big if you pound on him when he reaches up under the floor. Crest - Beat Legion and Nuculais. + Mortvia Aqueduct Backtrack DEF Up - You'll find this past the area with the drained water at the end of the east path when the path splits. + Forest of Jigramunt Backtrack ATK Up - In the drained lake next to the first save point. ATK Up - At the very top of the Tower of Eternity. ATK Up - At the very bottom of the Tower of Evermore. Trevor's stats upon backtracking to all areas: HP 800 Hearts 155 ATK 135 DEF 110 ++ Stage 10 - Dracula's Castle DEF Up - Break the cracked wall behind the Highbrow Chair on Dracula's Castle 1F. Square Tip Whip - When B1 divides into two paths, take the north path and this whip will be in the final room that you come to on 1F. This is where the Throne of Bones chair is and where Hector finds a Miracle Egg. MP Max Up - In the Pumpkin-type Devil Forge on 6F of Dracula's Castle. A teleporter will allow Trevor to move past the wall that leads to the Devil Forge. Isaac - Use the Ice Whip on Isaac and his Bird-type - it will actually freeze the Bird-type just like it did with Abel. Use the Flame Whip against the Iytei Battle-type and the Thunder Whip against the second Battle-type (Rasetz). Death - Use the Square Tip Whip for the most damage. Unleash the Boomerang Alternate Attack (Holy Cross) while right next to him for some incredible damage. Crest - Defeat both Isaac and Death then this will be found near the save room outside. Trevor's Total Max Stats (with Vampire Killer): HP 850 Hearts 170 ATK 140 DEF 120 Dracula: Use the Holy Whip to quickly defeat him. Dracula (Demon Form): Use the Square Tip Whip to take off the most damage since he has no weakness. Use the Boomerang Alternate Attack to dodge his horizontal attacks - Trevor will leap into the air and Dracula's arm will go under him while the attack continually hits Dracula. So, what do you get for beating Trevor mode? Well, you get a few pics of Trevor as the endings credits roll. Don't you feel special? You can also play the Boss Rush mode with Trevor if you defeat all the bosses. + + + +++ "The curse of Dracula has begun.

A: Evolve a Mage-type Nautilus Rod Innocent Devil and have him learn the "Purify" ability. This ability is not a command ability, so you will have to wait for the Mage-type to cast the spell randomly. For Trevor, you will need to grab the Holy Whip, found in Infinite Corridor. [2] Q: How do I reach the other side of the northern area in Infinite Corridor 3F and how do I open the big iron door on the south side on 3F? A: For the north, you need a Bird-type with the "Long Glide" ability. For the south, you need a Battle-type Juggernaut with the "Brute Force Lv.2" ability. [3] Q: Who is Shyovasli? A: Isn't that the million dollar question? That inscription is actually a reference to the Chauve-Souris spear, which is needed to evolve the third Devil-type. Some users on GameFAQs explained this inscription in full detail with a great theory complete with pronunciations. "Chau pronounced in English : show Ve pronounced in English : ve, can't really translate the sound better Sou : Sue ris : ree 'Showve Sueree'" - Seijuro Hiko 13th "If someone pronounced it correctly while telling a japanese person what it was and then that japanese person made a castlevania game, with a hint about it-- but didn't change the spelling; he would pronounce and spell it 'Shyovasli'." - fathedred The inscription is found at the very end of the southeast end of Infinite Corridor where you must use the Bird-type's Long Glide in order to reach the floor on the other side. Have a Tiramisu Fairy-type with "Decipher" and she will automatically read the inscription when you approach it. This inscription is found in Infinite Corridor. Here is the full decipher for the inscription in question: There is only one correct path to the ultimate devil-type evolution. Find "Shyovasli" or the path will never open. ...Excerpt from Sage Eneomaos. [4] Q: Where is this secret boss that you speak of? A: In the Southwest most room of Garibaldi Temple, there is a room that you will need to use the Devil-types's Magic Circle in in order to move under a wall and gain accesst to the corridor behind the room. Follow that path and head to the B1 section of Garibaldi. You'll find his boss door in a long hallway complete with a save point. Make sure to save before attempting him. The secret boss is Legion, better known as one of the coolest boss fights from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. He has two forms, so it is basically two boss fights. [5] Q: Why can't I get to this doorway in the Mortvia Aqueduct and this other doorway across from the bridge in the Baljhet Mountains? There is water blocking my path. A: After you have finished the boss fight in Infinite Corridor, all the water in the areas will drain and you will be able to go back and reach those areas in question. [6] Q: How do I destroy the group of statues in the Forest of Jigramunt? A: You need an Iytei Battle-type Innocent Devil with the "Shoulder Ride" ability. Once you have one, summon him and stand at the top of the hill overlooking the statues and use the Shoulder Ride ability to barrel down the hill with the Batte-type and break through the statues at the bottom. [7] Q: How do I remove the vines from the doorway in the Aiolin Ruins? A: A Mage-Type with any type of fire spell should do the job. Have the Mage- type cast the spell in front of the vines to burn them and reveal the doorway behind them. [8] Q: Why can I not get 100% in the Aiolon Ruins? A: This is most likely because you have not noticed the secret button in the hall of the northwest corridor of the Aiolon Ruins. Evolve a Probiscus Fairy- type and have him/her learn the "Press It and See" Ability. Summon him/her while in the corridor in the northwest corner and he/she will automatically press the button for you. The wall will fall and reveal a secret entrance behind it. [9] Q: Where is that Pumpkin Innocent Devil? A: He is on the sixth floor of Dracula's Castle. Look on the map and you should see a doorway where there is just a plain wall. Go to that room on the sixth floor and use the Devil-type's Magic Circle ability to move under the crack near the bottom of the wall. At the end of the corridor, you'll find the door for his forge. [10] Q: Ok, so I'm in the Devil Forge, but how do I awaken the Pumpkin-type? He just sits there... A: Create a Pumpkin Mace from your materials (see Combineable Items Checklist) then go back to the forge and strike him on the head with it. This will awaken the small hero... [11] Q: Where are the Miracle Eggs located? A: Go to the Southwest section of Garibaldi Temple, right outside the Legion boss door to find a whole slew of Evil Core enemies. Defeat them and they will eventually drop a Miracle Egg. You can also get a Miracle Egg after you defeat the Golden Bones skeleton at the very bottom floor of the Tower of Evermore. He will always leave you with a Miracle Egg after you defeat him. There is also a chance of finding the Golden Bones in the location outside the final save room in the Baljhet Mountains. The Golden Bones may be likely to appear in any area that contains only Skeletons. This is very rare however. [12] Q: These Evil Cores are never going to drop a Miracle Egg...you LIE!!! A: Yes they will...eventually. The item drop for a Miracle Egg is very very rare and will sometimes take you about an hour or two of defeating Evil Cores to get one. You can summon the Pumpkin Type Innocent Devil or Fairy Type and equip the Rare Ring to boost your luck, but you will still have many battles ahead of you. [13] Q: How do I evolve the Pumpkin-type to his final form for the middle three evolutions on the I.D. chart? A: You'll need to collect crystals with a certain weapon for each of those evolutions. Bloody >>> Cursed Pumpkin = Death's Scythe, Tiny King >>> Whimsical Angel = Short Sword, Clown Nose >>> Genius Chef = Frying Pan. [14] Q: Where is the Tower of Eternity? A: Go to the far east section of the Forest of Jigramunt to find it. Make sure to take some Magical Tickets with you just in case things get too hectic so you can warp out of the tower - warping out and completing the tower is the only way to leave. [15] Q: Where is the Tower of Evermore? A: Once you have reached the very top of the Tower of Eternity, you will need to have a Bird-type ID with the "Long Glide" ability to reach the top of the Tower of Evermore. Stand in between the two candles near the edge then jump and Long Glide toward the moon to reach the Tower of Evermore. [16] Q: I have read your description, but I still cannot steal from Death...WTF, I am so frustrated with this...controller meet screen! A: Stealing from Death is a matter of skill and/or luck. Perfect guarding all the hits of his big bang attack while in front of him then jumping after the tenth hit will take much skill, timing, and a little bit of luck. Using a Tiramisu's Invincible Vase ability or any other way is just basically all luck. I've done it both ways (Invincible Vase and Perfect Guarding) and they are both very hard and will take you quite a while to master. Make sure to perfect guard Death's attacks to boost your heart meter for your current Innocent Devil (have a healing Fairy-type) to live longer. Keep trying, and remember that IGA loves you. [17] Q: How do I activate Boss Rush mode? A: You must defeat every boss in the game (Dracula's both forms and the two optional Legion fights) then go to a warp room and "[Boss Rush Mode]" will appear as the first option. All the bosses must be beaten on the same save file. When you beat Dracula, save your clear file to get credit for beating him. [18] Q: Can I steal from bosses in Boss Rush? A: Most definitely. You can actually steal from the first boss (Crazy Armor) who you couldn't steal from beforehand. The sad part is that you have to beat all the bosses in order to exit Boss Rush, so if you steal that Death's Pulse from Death, you better make damn sure that you don't die on the rest of the battles. [19] Q: What do I get for beating Boss Rush Mode? A: You will unlock the Music Box, which will open up the Sound Select option on the title screen main menu once collected. The item will appear to the side of the warp room that you appear in after Boss Rush. [20] Q: Where is the best place to level up Hector and my ID? A: Go to Infinite Corridor, in the area where you have to use Brute Force LV2 on the large iron door and there is a room past that door with nothing but tons Undead Lords and Bone Soldiers. You can gain tons of experiece for Hector and your ID by hacking away at all these enemies. They will drop three evolution crystals most of the time so you can evolve your ID rather easily here. Better yet, there is a save room in the same area, so you can constantly enter and exit the save room to make the enemies respawn again. Register your Memorial Ticket at that save room and you can constantly use Magical Tickets to return to Julia's shop when you grab another ID. Use your Memorial Ticket to go back to the save room. Another good place is the area right outside of the boss door where you fight Legion in B1 of Garibaldi Temple. The Evil Cores in this area will give you a bunch of experience just like the enemies in the area above. The best part about leveling up in this area is that you might be able to find an extremely rare Miracle Egg by constantly fighting the Evil Cores in this area. Be sure to equip the Rare Ring to boost your chances. There is also a save room in this area as well. [21] Q: Why is Hector so damn slow!? This game needs a run button VERY badly. A: Tell me about it. Most of the time I forward flip through rooms to make Hector move a bit faster. Hold the right shoulder button then hold forward and tap Jump, pause, tap Jump, pause, tap Jump, pause, repeat. In other words, I do continuous quick steps (not the double quick step). [22] Q: Is there any way to get a rare item back if a Gi-Lee steals it? A: Yes. Go to Julia's Shop and she should have it for sale.

I meant to do that. ;p Version 0.95 - (June 19, 2006) - Hmmm, yes...well, I originally planned for this to be complete upon the next update, but I still have a few more areas to add (Hector Move List, Tower of Eternity and Evermore, finish up the ID section, etc.) and I still haven't proofread the guide. So sorry to those of you that are reading through all those typos. I'll fix them by next update, I promise! Also, the Ctrl + F system is now actually working since I added the codes throughout the walkthrough this time. Version 1.0 - (June 23, 2006) - Most of the document has been proofread, but there are still some sections near the end that have errors I'm sure and I'll try to fix that in the next update. The main walkthrough should read well though. Trevor's Move List has been redone and cleaned up. Added another question to the Frequently Asked Questions section. I still have a bunch of other stuff to add after the proofreading is totally finished. Version 1.1 - (July 7, 2006) - Added an Extra Quest section to tie up the loose ends that aren't detailed enough in the walkthrough. Started on a Hector Move List. Also added some more details to the Innocent Devil section and corrected a few errors here and there. Version 1.2 - (July 25, 2006) - Finished up the diagrams for Hector's move list and started on the Special Weapons. I'll describe each of his moves for the Sword, Large Axe, Large Sword, etc, on another update. Added a bit more to Innocent Devil section as well. Version 1.3 - (July 31, 2006) - The Hector move list, the Innocent Devil section are now completed. All sections are now complete for the most part. I might still go back and add a few things at a later date. Version 1.4 - (December 11, 2006) - Corrected an error regarding Beelzebub's Seal. Numbered the Questions in the Frequently Asked Questions section and added a new one on how to get an item back if a Gi-Lee steals it. Version 1.5 - (May 3, 2007) - Corrected the requirements for the Salamander ability under the Goat Head Mage-type. A few other minor errors were corrected as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ++ Copyright This document Copyright 2006 Kevin Hall (Berserker) Castlevania: Curse of Darkness Copyright Konami 2005.

All I ask is for you to try to make the email decent. I realize that some people do not speak perfect English or cannot type that well, so that doesn't really matter to me, but all that I ask is that you try to make it readable. I would prefer you not to add me to your messenger, but if you do, at least tell me a bit about yourself and why, or if I know you, tell me who you are. One of my pet peeves is when people just add me to their messenger without saying anything. I usually just deny their request. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ++ About Me Well, my name is Kevin, I'm 26 years old and reside in the US (Mississippi). I've been an avid player of video games ever since I first got an Atari 2600 back when I was 6 years old. I've tried to escape into many other hobbies but always wind up back to square one with video games. My favorite gaming series is Resident Evil by far, then second would be Castlevania. Playing just about any survival horror is a major high point in my gaming experience. A few of my other interests include horror movies, anime, and I'm a complete message board junkie. You can find me at Artic Nightfall (Berserker) or the Resident Evil, Castlevania, or Dead Rising IGN message boards (berserker_kev). I'm also a big fan of viewing artwork, though I can't draw myself. Even though I can't draw, I try to be a creative person through writing, and hopefully that reflects in my guides. My dream is to be a professional walkthrough writer, but until then I will continue to publish guides for free on GameFAQs and the various other gaming sites.
