II. Gameplay Mechanics
=-=-=
Star Ocean 2 is unlike almost any other RPG released in the US before it.
The system derives heavily from the original Star Ocean's gameplay, but has
been markedly improved in many areas. This area is a sort of adaptation
guide for those who have never played any Tri-Ace games before, and don't
understand their Item Creation and battle systems.
Status Ailments:
There are 9 status ailments in SO2: Poison, Paralyze, Stone, Silence,
Slow, Blockstun, Stop, Peeped, and of course, Death. Silence, Slow,
Blockstun, Stop, and Peeped can't be cured by items or spells, and always
wear off by the end of the battle. The other conditions can be cured by
items or spells, however, and last until cured by these means.
Poison - The usual effect: HP is lost in 5% increments every 2 seconds in
battle, and a bit is lost with every step taken out of battle.
Paralyze -The afflicted character can't act, and if all party members fall
under this status, Stone, or Death, the game is over.
Stone - For all intents and purposes, the same thing as paralyze.
Silence - Causes magic users to be unable to use spells, which is annoying.
Slow - Makes characters move and attack slower than usual. Fortunately,
not many enemies cause this status.
Blockstun - Causes the afflicted character to freeze in place for a while,
depending on the AVD of the enemy that blockstuns them. Blockstun is
broken out of automatically if the afflicted character takes damage.
Stop - Caused by the Dream Peace skill, and can be very dangerous if you
don't know how to prevent it from taking any effect (open the ring menu
when it's used on you).
Peeped - This is when your characters take a critical hit and stars appear
over their heads. They can't act until peeped status recovers, and they
can be kept peeped by repeated critical hits from the enemies. Of course,
you can do the same thing to enemies.
Death - Really obvious, and primarily caused by HP running out.
There are other status effects as well, but they can only be caused by
your own characters (such as lowering enemy AVD and HIT). There are also
positive status effects, but these are also just stat-affecting (raising
elemental resistances, AVD, HIT, battle speed, etc.).
Key for KMs:
(KM Name): Description of KM effect and its range.
Second: Second form of KM and its range.
Level: ## MP Cost: ##
Start Delay: See below Duration: See below Recovery: See below
Proficiency: Points where skills level up Blockstun: See below
Effect Change: The changes to appearance and power from proficiency levels
Notes: Any notes about a skill, such as how to learn it.
Range is rated either Short, Mid-Short, Medium, Long, or Unirange.
Unirange skills can be used anywhere, and will execute immediately. As
well, Unirange KMs can usually be executed again even before they've caused
damage with their previous use. All other types require the user to move
in towards their target.
Start delay is rated either Instant, Very Low, Low, Mid-Low, Medium,
Mid-Long, Long, or Very Long. Start delay measures the time from executing
the move to actually doing damage. If a start delay is listed as "Varies",
this means that the delay is dependent on distance to the enemy when it's
being used. This mostly applies to Unirange KMs.
Duration is rated the same as start delay, and determines the time that
the KM takes to execute once it's started to do damage, but before it stops
doing damage.
Recovery is rated either Instant, Very Fast, Fast, Mid-Fast, Medium,
Mid-Slow, Slow, or Very Slow. This is how long it takes for the KM to end
once damage has stopped being dealt, up until the player can act again.
If Blockstun is listed as Yes, that means that if a character uses the KM
and the enemy blocks it, they can be put into "blockstun" status if the
enemy's AVD is high enough. Basically, it means that the KM follows the
same rule as weapons do about blocking. Skills that affect the user only
do not have a listing for this, for obvious reasons.
NOTES ON LINK COMBOS: Link Combos are most effective when you use a fast
hitting and fast recovering attack to start the combo, then move on to a
slower but more effective KM for the follow-up. The closer the two are in
range, the better. Another good way to use KMs is to use a large-effect
KM, then follow up with an intense single-target KM. Some of the link
combos I've found to be useful are listed after each fighter's KM list.
Character Roster [GMROSTER]
===--
The cast of Star Ocean 2 is certainly not small. Each character has
critical data pertaining to them that can really help in the long run.
NOTE ON RELATIONSHIPS: Relationships have two scores. The first is the
character's friendship level, the second their romantic level.
Relationship levels of both types go up by 1 every 75 battles that any two
characters participate in together. Books set relationship levels to 8.
Which relationship level is set depends on the book. The common books
affect friendship, the rare books affect romance. Both relationship levels
max out at 15. A level of 10 is required for a shared ending, friendship
for same gender and romance for opposite gender.

Crawd (or Claude, if you like the English translation name) is definitely
the party's heaviest hitter. He can equip the best swords and has the most

How to Recruit: Automatic; you have to have her.
Rena will be, for the first half of the game, your only dependable healer.
She has fairly poor physical attack skills, pitiful range, and is more
suited to healing than using attack spells. Taking her out of your party
is generally suicidal, unless you're replacing her with a very high-Magic
Noel.

How to Recruit: Allow her to stay in the party after Cross Cave.
Celine is one of the few mages in Star Ocean 2. Her spells hit heavy, and
do plenty of damage. But later on, she quickly becomes outdated by the
fighters in the party. They can do multiple hits in less time than it takes
her to cast one spell, and their damage starts being on par with her spell
attack power.
Key Strengths: Excellent magic power, exceptionally powerful spells
Key Weaknesses: Pitiful attack and defense, tediously long casting times
for her best spells

How to Recruit: Before traveling to Lacour, talk to the two men near the
entrance of Herlie. Then, go back to Salva and enter the Drift. You'll
find Ashton fighting a two-headed dragon further in. After the fight, he
will join you if you accept responsibility.
Like most sword fighters in this game, Ashton is an excellent heavy
fighter to use during tough battles. His regular attack has a bit too much
delay to it, and most of his killer moves have delays as well, but he has
plenty of multi-hitting attacks, and his attack power more than makes up
for his occasional missing the target.
Key Strengths: Powerful attacker, fairly fast, has some useful Killer Moves
Key Weaknesses: Fairly long delay before attacking regularly, has some
utterly useless Killer Moves, Luck maxes out at 100

How to Recruit: Do a Private Action in Linga after you first arrive there.
If you're playing as Claude, you'll find Precis in the northern area of
town; as Rena, go to the house on the lower left side of town. After a
sequence of events, you'll be given the option to recruit Precis.
One could term Precis a KM-oriented fighter, since her regular attack
against monsters is far too slow. She has a fantastic number of spammable
killer moves that are very fast, and has one of the most powerful "best"
weapons in the game. She can't equip any decent armor for around half of
the adventure, unfortunately.
Key Strengths: Many hit-and-run Killer Moves, one of the best weapons in
the game equippable, fairly fast
Key Weaknesses: Low defense, can't equip many of the better armors, has
some extremely long delays for some Killer Moves, slow regular attacks

How to Recruit: Do a Private Action in Cross before the Lacour Tournament
of Arms, and see the three-eyed man run past. After the tournament, go
back to Hilton, and into the bar. After meeting Opera there and telling
her about the three-eyed man, head back to Cross and ask the king about
the three-eyed woman. He'll let you go into the Mountain Palace, where
Opera went. She's a bit further in, and will join if you let her.
One of the few long-range fighters, Opera is by far the best fighter you
can get early on. She becomes slightly outdated later as other characters
get more and more powerful weapons and skills. Even so, her Alpha on One
skill never stops being useful, and her regular attack is both fast and
well ranged. She's also the only fighter character with the ability to
heal all allies with one of her KMs.
Key Strengths: Capable of very long-ranged attacks, fast, quick to recover
with regular attacks, can hit flying enemies without jumping, has the only
all-healing KM in the game
Key Weaknesses: Low defense and stamina, somewhat low attack power later on

Bowman is often called the worst of the fighters, and for good reason.
His range for non-killer move attacks is horrid. Most of his killer moves
are next to useless, his best weapon is a joke, and his range is horridly
short. He can still be a useful addition to a team, though, as his Poison
Pills skill can wreak havoc on enemies.

How to Recruit: First, get Opera. Then, go to Arlia Village, and through
it to Shingo Forest. From here, head northwards to where Opera's ship
crashed. Then, once you finish the Hoffmann Ruins, you'll find Ernest.
You'll have to fight a boss battle to recruit him (and not a very difficult
one, either). Note that if you refuse to recruit him at this point, you
lose Opera as well.
Until he's level 41 and has Thousand Whips, Ernest isn't very useful in
battle. Even then, he doesn't become really handy until he's level 58 and
gets Broken Heart. Once he DOES have Broken Heart, he's one of the best
characters to use for keeping enemies at bay while the powerhouses (Claude,
Dias, Chisato, etc.) close in and use their techs. Since you can steal two
Battle Suits from him, he still at least provides for the party (in a
sense) before he becomes competent.
Key Strengths: Decent range in his attacks, has some impossible-to-dodge
Killer Moves, moves quickly, has two Battle Suits to steal
Key Weaknesses: Long recover time from attacks, doesn't gain most of his
better Killer Moves until much later

Lacour Front Lines and Rena runs after him on her own, go and talk to him.
Tell him to fight with Rena and company, and he'll join you.
Dias takes second as the best heavy fighter. Why? Because his physical
attack power is lower than Claude's, and his regular attack has a slight
delay before he actually attacks. His killer moves are also mostly single-
or double-hit skills that do more damage as he uses them (instead of
getting more hits). Despite this, he's a valuable addition to any team.
Key Strengths: High attack and defense power, moves very fast

twice

the elder to take care of Leon for them, say that you've changed your mind
(the second option).
Leon is the other heavy spellcaster of Star Ocean 2. By the time you get

that power isn't fully realized until Leon is almost level 255.

How to Recruit: Tell him he can come along after getting the Synard.
Noel tries to be the equivalent of a Red Mage from the Final Fantasy
series, and fails badly in all areas as a result. His weapons do more
damage than any other spellcasters' weapons, but they still cannot match up
to regular fighters (and his range is absolutely horrid). His spells are
only half as powerful as other characters' spells, and this really shows
later. The only way you can possibly redeem him and make him useful is to
give him a Million Staff, and make him into a supporting healer. I highly
advise you do this.

How to Recruit: Spot her in Central City by heading left from the main
administrative building towards the inn. Then, once you reach the Cave of
Red Crystal, grab her Job ID that she drops. Once you get back to Central
City, give it back to her (she's on the third floor of the admin building).
Chisato is much loved by many, despite her inability to equip highly
powerful weapons, because of her Killer Moves. Her attacks are capable of
doing the most hits overall. I personally don't use her much, as her
overall damage with these multi-hit skills is less than those of heavy
fighters, and because her multi-hit attacks take so long to execute.
Key Strengths: Killer Moves almost all hit many times, has a fairly fast
regular attack, Killer Moves all take very little proficiency to master
Key Weaknesses: Most of her Killer Moves take a long time to execute, lacks
powerful weapons

Level: 76 MP Cost: 25
Start Delay: Very Long Duration: Long Recovery: Fast
Proficiency: 120, 240 Blockstun: No
Effect Change: Missiles take less time to arrive, more are launched.
Skill Dossier [GMSKILLS]
===--
Unlike most RPGs, your characters won't just turn into living gods with no
guidance. You can upgrade characters' abilities via Skills, special
abilities that enhance combat ability and some field actions. Skills are
also the key to Item Creation abilities, which let you make new items from
existing items.
Skills require SP, or Skill Points, to level up. To get SP, you can
either level up, open up talents, or win Bullying Battles in Fun City's
Battling Stadium. You can hold a maximum of 999 SP at any given time for
each character.
Each character starts out with either a few skills learned, or a lot of SP
allocated for you to distribute. You can gain new skills for them to learn
by buying them at Skill Guilds in most towns.

Item Creation
===--
Item Creation is the ability to devise new items out of old ones, the new
items frequently being more useful than the old ones. The system is fairly
simple in concept, but each skill has its own functionality and usage.
Regular Skills [GMREGSKIL]
---==
These are the regular Item Creation skills, which can be learned from the
basic skillset which you can purchase from Skill Guilds throughout the
game.
SKILL: Art
SUB-SKILLS: Esthetic Sense, Sketching
DESCRIPTION: Allows you to make artwork and specialty items that aid in
both battle and field options
MATERIALS NEEDED: Magic Canvas or Magical Clay
SUPPORT TALENTS: Sense of Design

Victorial Card, Mortalial Card, Fountain Card, Fairies Card, 'The Scream',
'The Last Supper', 'Spring', Portraits A-L (depends on your party)
Magical Clay - Magic Rock, Super Ball, Tri-ball, Silence Card, Dummy Doll,
Hexagram Card, Hyper Ball, Skanda, Bubble Lotion, Mirror of Wisdom,
Jack-in-the-Box, Treasure Chest
NOTES: Art items tend to help in and out of battle, but their overall
usefulness is easily outmatched by other items (with the exception of the
Extension and Discovery Cards)
SKILL: Oracle
SUB-SKILLS: Radar, Peity, Playfulness
DESCRIPTION: Gives you various information, hints, etc.
MATERIALS NEEDED: None
SUPPORT TALENTS: None
SUPPORT ITEMS: None
OUTPUT: None
NOTES: This skill is completely useless, particularly if you're using a
walkthrough
SKILL: Musical Talent
SUB-SKILLS: Musical Notation, Musical Instrument
DESCRIPTION: Allows you to play songs which enhance your party temporarily
MATERIALS NEEDED: Conductor's Baton or Feather Pen
SUPPORT TALENTS: Sense of Rythm, Pitch

OUTPUT:
Compose Music - Can make a new song for an instrument, or simply fail to
come up with anything good; each instrument has two songs

songs
Instrument Song Effect
Piano Song of Salvation Recovers HP and MP with every step
Piano Song of Blessing Increases all stats for the party
Cembalo The Ghost Dance Hit% is improved
Cembalo The Fairy Dance Evade% is improved
Shamisen The Green Gale Agility is improved
Shamisen The Secret Power Maximum HP and MP are improved

Silver Trumpet The Melody of the Gods Works just like Orchestra
Harmonica Strains of Battle Increase encounter rate
Harmonica Strains of Lonliness Decrease encounter rate

Lyre The Eternal Song Defense is improved
Violin Enter the Hero Start a random encounter
Violin Hail the Goddess Raises output quality of I.C.
Organ The Song of Healing Restores HP with every step
Organ The Song of Hope Restores MP with every step
NOTES: Musical Talent is probably the most important skill in the game, as
well as the hardest to master; you can never successfully play songs with
characters who lack Pitch and Sense of Rythm, they'll always fail (though
you should have them play instruments repeatedly to unlock those talents)
* - The effects of The Evil Melody vary depending on your Musical Talent
level. Here's what you can summon at each Musical Talent level (assuming
you have Sense of Rythm and Pitch, or Orchestra playing):
Lv. 1 - Nothing

MATERIALS NEEDED: Spectacles, a ? item

SUB-SKILLS: Mineralogy, Craft, Esthetic Sense
DESCRIPTION: Make new accessories out of metals
MATERIALS NEEDED: A mineral
SUPPORT TALENTS: Sense of Design, Dexterity

SUB-SKILLS: Writing

MATERIALS NEEDED: Fountain Pen
SUPPORT TALENTS: Writing Ability

SKILL: Scout
SUB-SKILLS: Danger Sense
DESCRIPTION: Sense enemies and either avoid or seek them
MATERIALS NEEDED: None
SUPPORT TALENTS: Sixth Sense
SUPPORT ITEMS: None
OUTPUT: Increase or decrease in encounter rate
NOTES: This skill rarely works even WITH Sixth Sense mastered; best to have
all allies working on whatever encounter method you prefer

SUB-SKILLS: Biology, Herbal Medicine, Mental Science
DESCRIPTION: Attempt to make new medicine out of two herbs
MATERIALS NEEDED: 2 herbs
SUPPORT TALENTS: Dexterity
SUPPORT ITEMS: Antiseptic Gloves

vary; check the Compounding guide at the end of this walkthrough for more
details on this skill

MATERIALS NEEDED: Uncooked food
SUPPORT TALENTS: Sense of Taste
SUPPORT ITEMS: All-Purpose Knife (must be equipped)

helpful

MATERIALS NEEDED: Pet Food
SUPPORT TALENTS: Love of Animals
SUPPORT ITEMS: None

fail
NOTES: I never use this skill at all; too proud, I guess

SUB-SKILLS: Scientific Ability, Mineralogy, Fairyology
DESCRIPTION: Change iron into various metals
MATERIALS NEEDED: Iron
SUPPORT TALENTS: Blessing of Mana
SUPPORT ITEMS: Lezard's Flask, Erlenmeyer Flask
OUTPUT: Chosen mineral, or a rock (failure; success rate sucks without the
Lezard and Erlenmeyer Flasks, still hard without Blessing of Mana)
NOTES: This has to be the single best skill in the game; you don't even
have to TRY to hunt down rare minerals, just buy some Iron and convert it
SKILL: Survival
SUB-SKILLS: Herbal Medicine, Patience
DESCRIPTION: Find items of various types in the field
MATERIALS NEEDED: None; must have at least 4MP to use
SUPPORT TALENTS: Sixth Sense?
SUPPORT ITEMS: Survival Kit

found
SKILL: Pickpocketing
SUB-SKILLS: Courage, Poker Face
DESCRIPTION: Steal items from passers-by
MATERIALS NEEDED: Bandit's Gloves (equipped)
SUPPORT TALENTS: Dexterity
SUPPORT ITEMS: Magician's Hand (equipped)
OUTPUT: Steal an item, or fail to steal; cannot steal twice, sadly
NOTES: This skill is handy (no pun intended), but has a disturbingly high
failure rate for useful items; don't use it while the entire party is
assembled, as it lowers affection and friendship ratings towards the
pickpocketer
SKILL: Reproduction
SUB-SKILLS: Copying
DESCRIPTION: Turn Magic Film into duplicate items
MATERIALS NEEDED: Magic Camera, Magic Film
SUPPORT TALENTS: None
SUPPORT ITEMS: Ririca (better camera; use instead of Magic Camera)
OUTPUT: Replica item or blurry photo (failure; frequent with rarer items)
NOTES: This skill is sweet, even if it won't work on super-rare items
SKILL: Machinery
SUB-SKILLS: Mech Knowledge, Mech operation
DESCRIPTION: Make special tools and abilities using machinery
MATERIALS NEEDED: Materials Kit
SUPPORT TALENTS: Dexterity, Sense of Design
SUPPORT ITEMS: None

NOTES: Very useful with Precis and Opera, who can make new deathblows and
weapons with it; also great for getting talent-support items
The key skills in this game that you'll end up using most are Alchemy,
Reproduction, Metalwork, Machinery, Pickpocketing, Customize, and Musical
Talent, so leveling the skills for those abilities up would be a good idea.
Super Specialty Skills [GMSUPERSK]
---==
Super Specialty Skills are like regular Item Creation skills on crack.
You can make insanely effective items, do amazingly helpful things, and
even enhance all Item Creation skills for a short period of time. The only
catch is, you need basic Item Creation skills learned for all party members
for the Super Specialty Skills to be any good.
SKILL: Master Chef
SUB-SKILLS: Cooking, Compounding
DESCRIPTION: Make super-powerful dishes with the entire party's help
MATERIALS NEEDED: Two uncooked food items
SUPPORT TALENTS: Sense of Taste
SUPPORT ITEMS: All-Purpose Knife
OUTPUT: Healthy dish or junk food (failure)
NOTES: Much like Cooking, I almost never use this
SKILL: Orchestra
SUB-SKILLS: Musical Talent, Art
DESCRIPTION: Play an orchestra for about 30 seconds, and up the success
rate of talents opening up (as well as success rates of Item Creation)
MATERIALS NEEDED: Conductor's Baton, at least 6 instruments, 6 party
members, and 8 songs
SUPPORT TALENTS: None needed
SUPPORT ITEMS: None needed
OUTPUT: The orchestra plays (never fails!)
NOTES: This is the single most important Super Specialty you can use, as it
increases success for about 30 seconds on all Item Creation abilities and
Super Specialty abilities by an almost obscene amount (success rate is
upped to 75-90%, no matter the actual skill level of the character); the
fact that talents open up more frequently during Orchestra is an added
bonus
SKILL: Comprehenshion
SUB-SKILLS: Practice, Survival
DESCRIPTION: The party tries to increase the SP gained at level up
MATERIALS NEEDED: None
SUPPORT TALENTS: None
SUPPORT ITEMS: None
OUTPUT: Increased SP after level up, highly lowered speed
NOTES: I dislike this ability, and prefer to take what I get
SKILL: Come On Bunny
SUB-SKILLS: Familiar, Scout
DESCRIPTION: Call a bunny to ride on
MATERIALS NEEDED: None
SUPPORT TALENTS: None
SUPPORT ITEMS: None
OUTPUT: Summon a bunny, or don't summon one (failure)
NOTES: Handy early on, highly outdated on disc 2
SKILL: Publishing
SUB-SKILLS: Authoring, Machinery
DESCRIPTION: Write character-specific books with the help of the entire
party
MATERIALS NEEDED: Fountain Pen
SUPPORT TALENTS: Writing Ability
SUPPORT ITEMS: Text Software
OUTPUT: Character-specific novel, or crumpled paper (failure)
NOTES: The books published can be sold to publishers in Lacour and Central
City, and you can get a healthy profit off of royalties by returning every
hour or two; books sold in Lacour can be purchased, as well
SKILL: Identify All!
SUB-SKILLS: Identify, Metalwork
DESCRIPTION: Raise or lower prices in shops by up to 30%
MATERIALS NEEDED: Spectacles
SUPPORT TALENTS: None
SUPPORT ITEMS: None
OUTPUT: Raise or lower the price in shops (cannot fail!)
NOTES: Never shop without it; a 30% discount adds up quick when buying an
item that costs 5,000,000 Fol
SKILL: Blacksmith
SUB-SKILLS: Customize, Alchemy
DESCRIPTION: Forge powerful armor from minerals
MATERIALS NEEDED: Smith's Hammer, ore
SUPPORT TALENTS: Dexterity, Sense of Design
SUPPORT ITEMS: Magical Rasp (changes what you make entirely, for the
better)
OUTPUT: New armor, or Perforated Armor (failure)
NOTES: This is a good way to get fairly powerful armor, but the Cave of
Trial armor outdates almost anything you make really quick
SKILL: Reverse Side
SUB-SKILLS: Pickpocketing, Reproduction
DESCRIPTION: Make illegal documents to enhance the party
MATERIALS NEEDED: Vellum Paper
SUPPORT TALENTS: Writing Ability?
SUPPORT ITEMS: None
OUTPUT: Fake documents of some sort, or a Bounced Check (failure)
Possible documents: Forged Bills, Forged Checks, Forged Documents,
Contract, Fill-up, Forged Medals, Life Insurance, Second Ledger,
Stock Certificates, Lien, Bounced Check
NOTES: This skill makes items that are very useful. The penalty for using
it is that you lose a point of relationship between two random characters
if you fail. I never bother with it, myself.
There are a few key skills you'll want to master here, as well. These are
Identify All!, Blacksmith, and especially Orchestra.
Combat System [GMCOMBAT]
===--
Star Ocean 2 has a very unique combat system, one that takes a bit of
adjusting to. This is a basic overview of how the system works.
BATTLE MODES: There are three battle modes: Manual, Semi-Active, and
Full-Active. Manual is the original Star Ocean attack method, but it's
very slow to use (as you have to manually select a target from the list of
enemies). Semi-Active is similar to this, but time passes while selecting
a target, so it's a very bad idea to use it. Full-Active is probably the
best method, in which enemy targetting is automatically set to the nearest
enemy, and you can actually move your character of choice around with the
D-pad without having to hit a button.
ATTACKING: There are several different ways to attack in battle. The first
and easiest is just to swing your weapon, by hitting X. This causes a
character to run up to the target enemy and use their weapon on them.
You can also assign two Killer Moves to each fighting character, one for L1
and one for R1. Simply hitting L1 or R1 will activate the Killer Move in
those positions on the nearest enemy. You can sequence Killer Moves after
a regular attack, but it's best to wait until you have the Cancel ability
before you try to do this.
USING MAGIC: Fortunately, the magic system isn't hard to adapt to at all.
Simply hit Triangle to open the ring menu, and select Heraldry. Select a
spell, and (if necessary) select a target. Spells can take some time to
cast, so it's best to have a spell caster stay away from the enemies when
using magic.
LEVELING UP: Leveling up in Star Ocean 2 is much the same as most RPGs.
Once you gain enough experience, you gain a level, and your characters gain
SP (usually equal to their level, give or take 10%). They also gain new
skills at level up.
Frequently Asked Questions [GMFAQ]
===--
These are questions that get asked repeatedly in just about every Star
Ocean 2 forum, message board, and chatroom. Note that there are spoilers
within.
Q: How to I get the Eternal Sphere sword?
A: First, you must get to second place in the Lacour Tournament of Arms
(that is, get up to the fight with Dias). Then, go back to Gamgee's house
(in the rear of Lacour) and talk to Gamgee, BEFORE you leave Lacour at the
end of the tournament. He'll give you the Sharp Edge. Customize the Sharp
Edge with a Mithril to get the Minus Sword. Customize the Minus Sword with
another Mithril to get the Eternal Sphere. Saving before each
customization is highly recommended, as it's hard to get the Eternal Sphere
without Orchestra, and hard even with a decent Customize level.
Q: Where can I find Mithril?
A: Mithril can be made with Alchemy (level 8+), as long as you have a
Lezard's Flask. You can also get it from the Trickster bracelet (found in
Eluria Tower, in a room on the left-hand side of the second floor), from
the Survival skill (very rarely), by stealing a piece from a man at L'Aqua,
and from defeating various monsters in the Field of Intelligence. The only
other methods to get Mithril are via a Treasure Chest (very rare), or by
leveling up the Radar skill (the best method for getting Mithril early on).
Q: How do I make or find Atlas Rings?
A: Atlas Rings can be made with Metalwork, via Rainbow Diamonds. Only
Claude, Ashton, Opera, Bowman, Ernest, Dias, and Chisato can make them.
You can find one in the Field of Power on Nede.
Q: How do I make or find Berserk Rings?
A: Berserk Rings can also be made with Metalwork, via Rubies. Only Claude,
Precis, and Chisato can make them.
Q: Which is better, Atlas or Berserk Rings?
A: That depends on your tactics. Berserk Rings double all attack power,
but since you're in berserk mode, your characters won't get the bonus to
their attack if they see an ally fall. Atlas Rings only double your base
strength, and give you elemental weaknesses, but characters become far more
powerful if they go berserk that way.
Q: What is the highest level you can reach?
A: The highest level is 255.
Q: How do I beat Gabrie Celesta and/or Iselia-Queen?
A: There are many methods to do this, several of which are listed in this
guide. Check below in the Cave of Trials and Immortality sections for more
details.
Q: How do I get the Flare Gun?
A: You can't, unless you use a cheat device.
Q: How can I get Precis' and Opera's special Machinery skills faster?
A: Have them wear Secret Boots and a Crown, and play Violin 2 while working
on Machinery with them (not Orchestra). The equipment isn't confirmed to
make it go faster, but there's really no reason not to.
Q: What is the best weapon in the game for <character>?
A: Generally speaking, the highest attack power weapon is the best (listed
below), with a few exceptions. Rena is best off with the Fallen Hope, as
it raises her magic power (which is more important, seeing as she's a magic
user). For Chisato, her best weapon is definitely the Wierd Slayer, as her
next best weapon that you can obtain drains MP when you use it. Dias'
Crimson Diablos is easily his best sword, since it doubles all damage he
deals, regardless of Berserk status. And Claude, naturally, is best with
the star-shooting Eternal Sphere.
Q: What do the Salamander's and Sacknoth Helmets do?
A: If both helmets are equipped on Ashton, his Dragon Breath skill will
automatically be at maximum proficiency. This only stays true if both
helmets are equipped, though.
Q: How do I take Indalecio's Limiter off?
A: You must first get in a PA very early in the game (to be exact, at Clik,
before the flood). After meeting Filia there, you can meet her later in
Central City, during a Private Action. This PA takes place only after you
have come to the point where you have to return to Fienal, and you cannot
turn the limiter back on once it's off. Filia is in the Central City
administrative office, on the first floor. Entering the building and
moving forward starts the event, and turns off the limiter.
Q: How do you access the secret files in North City?
A: This is actually a quest unto itself. The first bit to do is try to
access the Secret Files, and discover that they're locked. From there,
once you can get to Giveaway, talk to the dean of the university to find
out about Reyfus and his research. Find Reyfus in his lab, and he'll tell
you about his research. From there, go to Central City and talk to Chisato
(you may have to do a PA if she's in your party). She'll begin searching
for the password for you. Then, go back into Central City again (or do
another PA if Chisato's in your party) to get the password to the database.
Go back to North City, and check the terminal again. The data is unlocked,
but the computer can't decode the information. From here, you must get up
to the point where the sealed Heraldry laboratory is unsealed, and the
passcode is found. Go back and talk to Reyfus again, and he'll use the
passcode to hack into the files and decode them. Read through the files,
and you'll see that the third and fourth are locked. Go talk to Reyfus
again, and then go talk to the dean of Giveaway. He'll give you Pandora's
Box, which you should go and give to Reyfus. From here, you should start a
PA in Giveaway, and talk to everybody in the university, then return to the
town normally. Talk to Reyfus, and he'll have finished decoding the final
two files, which you'll now be able to read. Behold for yourself the true
history of Nede...

III. Walkthrough

Disc 1
===--
PART I: Arlia Village [D1ARLIA]
---==
NOTE: If you plan to do any pickpocketing early on, you may need to restart
the game several times to do so! Be sure that your character has the
Dexterity talent on their status screen (go to Status, then hit Triangle)
before moving on! You may ignore this if you're not planning to do any
stealing before reaching the Lacour continent. Just be aware that many
useful items will be unattainable as a result.
The introduction to both scenarios is different, so read the one that
pertains to you. Either way, you'll be in Arlia Village for a bit.
Location: Arlia Village
Items: Leather Armor, Ressurection Bottle, 200 FOL, Blueberry, Rose Hips,
Strawberry Jam, Blackberry
~ Claude's Scenario ~
You start at the entrance of a dome on Milocinia. Once you can, go up to
the sparking control box, and activate it. When you're inside, run up to
the equipment in the northern half of the screen. Upon regaining control,
you will be in battle. Simply attack the enemy with L1 repeatedly (like
you were told to), and it will die quickly enough.
After a short sequence, you'll be allowed to explore Arlia Village a bit.
Once you're satisfied, go to Rena's house (on the eastern end of town, down
in the western corner of that side of town). Take Rena to see the newlywed
couple, then return to Rena's house. Once you're back in control, go to
Salva and talk to the people in the mansion on the north side of town.
Return to Arlia briefly, then go back to the mansion in Salva.
~ Rena's Scenario ~
You start outside Rena's house. From there, go west to the other end of
town, then south, and enter the Shingo Forest. Once you go far enough in,
you will encounter Claude, who kindly dispatches an enemy for you. The
game takes over at this point, and you eventually you'll be back in Arlia.
Go to Rena's house, and then go talk to the people in town (particularly
the newlyweds). Once you've found Claude, go back to Rena's house.
Afterwards, go to the house directly right of Rena's. Once you have
control again, go to the Shingo Forest, watch the scene with Claude, and
then try to return to Arlia.
Regardless of scenario, you should now be in Alen's mansion. Enter the
room on the right of the first floor, and check the little lantern in the
right corner of the room. Go into the area that this reveals to reach the
Salva Drift.
Location: Salva
Items: Heavy Ring, Portrait B
Location: Salva Drift Suggested Level: 1-5
Items: Blackberry x2, Rose Hips, Blueberry x2, Silver, Iron, Gold x2,
Spectacles
Enemies: Funnythief, Kobold, Vopalbunny, Lizardaxe
The drift is easy to navigate, and the items are all pretty close to the
path you need to take. It's pretty obvious where the boss room is, there's
a save point right outside it. Be sure to use said save point before you
enter. Once you do, a story sequence will take place, and you'll have to
fight a monster.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Alen-Tax Exp: 150 Fol: 500
HP: 1,000 Resistances: Dark Difficulty: Easy
Recommended Party: Claude & Rena Suggested Level: 3-6
You don't have many options for this fight. If you're playing as Claude,
use Air Slash a lot, then close in to finish Alen. If you're playing as
Rena, control Claude and attack, while backing off when his HP is too low
so Rena can heal him. It's not a hard fight, really, unless you're playing
as Rena on Universe mode.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After Alen's down, a whole lot more story unfolds, most of it mind-
numbingly boring. Once you're given control again, run down to the bridge
in Arlia. If you're playing as Rena, you'll also have to try and enter
Shingo Forest before you can continue. More story sequence will take place
after this, and the opening chapter of SO2 will come to a close.
PART II: Cross Kingdom [D1CROSS]
---==
NOTE: At this point, you have the entirety of the Cross continent open to
you. There are a number of unofficial side-quests you can do at this point
if you wish (listed in the next section), or you can move on with the plot.
Location: Cross
Items: Wooden Shield, Leather Helm, 500 Fol, 600 Fol, Passport*,
Treasure Map*
As you enter Cross, you'll notice that it's night there (although it's
daytime everywhere else). Head on into the inn, and you'll be allowed to
stay for free. After that's over, you might want to browse around town,
and buy new equipment (if you haven't already done so in other towns).
Once you're ready, head to the north end of town, and enter the castle. Go
ahead and sign up for an audience, and then loot the castle. Be sure to
talk to as many people as you can. Eventually, one of the guards will
inform you that it's time for your audience.
Head back to the main stairway of the castle, and head up to have your
audience. Ask all three questions you're given, and then head out of the
castle (with a measly 600 Fol gift and a Passport). As you walk into the
town square, you'll see a woman panicking over something. Moving forward
even further, you'll see two mages in a shoutfest. After a few barbs are
exchanged, the party leader will try to intervene, but not be much help.
The white-cloaked mage manages to win, and suggests that you come with her
on an adventure. Since you have no choice at this point, just say yes.
She'll introduce herself as Celine, and show you her map. Then, it's off
to Cross Cave!
OPTIONAL: If you plan to recruit Opera, do a Private Action in Cross, and
go towards the castle. After seeing the three-eyed man run past, you'll
open the possibility of recruiting Opera later. You have until you leave
this continent to do so.
Location: Cross Cave Suggested Level: 5-10
Items: Blueberry, Artemis Leaf, Sweet Syrup x2, Cure Poison x2, ?MINERAL,
Lavender x2, ?JEWELRY, Tri-ball, Magic Canvas, Stink Gel, ?ITEM,
Blackberry, Feather Pen, 600 Fol, Resurrection Mist, 700 Fol,
Heart Barriers, Green Beryl, Ancient Writings*
Enemies: Armedknight, Slime, Landworm, Alraune, Gargoyle
The cave is very straightforward, with only one hidden path (remember: all
entrances have green light pouring from them). Your goal is on the far
north end of the cave, a room with a very big rock that's glowing green.
Celine will panic when she sees that it's a dead end, but Claude will point
out that the map mentions that a spell needs to be cast. The path will
open, and you'll be able to enter the treasue room.
The treasure you're looking for is on the upper lefthand side of the big
star, the Ancient Writings. Unfortunately, Celine can't understand them.
A warning: if you open the chest on the upper right part of the glowing
star, you'll have to fight two Gargoyles (who are a bit tough for a level
10 party, but not impossible). Anyway, once you've nabbed everything, head
back to the entrance. Celine will then give you the choice to take her
along or ditch her. Do as you see fit, and then it's off to Clik!
SUBQUEST: Miscellaneous Things [D1MISC]
--=
At this point, you can perform a number of actions to make the game a lot
easier for you: leveling up, getting more skills from the two port towns of
the Cross continent, and even netting yourself a nice accessory that gives
you items as you walk.
Leveling Up: There are a few good places to do this at this point. The
first is Cross Cave (northeast of Cross), then the Heraldry Forest (the
entrance of which is in Mars village, which is along the eastern arm of the
Cross continent), and the final location for leveling up is Lassguss
Mountain (on the western side of the continent, behind Cross). You can
easily reach level 30-40 before even entering Cross.
Getting the Mischief: There's a rare accessory that you can get at this
early point, called Mischief. There is a catch, though: you have to take
it from somebody via Pickpocketing, during a Private Action. This means
that your main character needs the Dexterity talent, and that they need to
get their Pickpocketing skill up to a reasonable level (8 or above). Also,
you need to get a pair of Bandit's Gloves (which cost 40,000 Fol) to
pickpocket. Once you've met these requirements, equip the Bandit's Glove
on your main character, save outside of Clik, and perform a Private Action.
Head to the town square, and watch the scene with Filia. Pickpocket her,
and if you succeed, you'll get the Mischief! The Mischief gives you random
items and small FOL amounts, and even gives you Forged Medals at times
(which are like a free level up for whomever you use them on).
Getting a Marvel Sword: You can also get a VERY powerful sword for Claude
at this point, which will make the game a lot easier. As above, develop
your Pickpocket skill (level 4 or 5 should be sufficient in this case).
Save near the eastern exit to Mars, do a PA, and steal from the old man
next to the inn. You'll get a Treasure Chest once you succeed. Leave
town, sort items according to how new they are, save, and use the Treasure
Chest; sort your items according to how new they are again afterwards. If
you get a Marvel Sword, equip it and save. If not, load and try again.
Keep in mind that this can take hundreds of attempts, so you need to be
patient. That patience will pay off in spades.
Getting Money: It's tough to get a lot of money early on, but if you level
up the Playfulness skill for an ally, you'll get quite a healthy dose of
money for it. If you plan to steal Mischief, have the non-leader ally
(either Rena or Claude at this point) master it, so you can afford the
Bandit's Gloves, and have the leader focus on Courage and Poker Face. Of
course, you should first master Perseverance for both of them.
PART III: Clik [D1CLIK]
---==
Clik is on the northern end of the Cross continent, on the north "spoke"
of the land. Go ahead and go there.
Location: Clik Suggested Level: 8-12
Items: Lyre, Grain, Seafood, Vegetables
Start off by visiting the house on the hilltop, and getting the Lyre. If
you miss it now, you won't be able to get another one for a very long time.
Once that's done, go ahead and buy any new equipment you may need, and
visit the docks. Talk to the captain of the ship, and then head back up to
the town square. After this, return to the port and talk to the two kids
running around, and then return to the first area of Clik. Talk to the
little blue-haired boy to get things moving again.
At this point, you can visit many locations and hear Ketil say (often
amusing) things about the locales. Feel free to visit around, and answer
Ketil however you like; it doesn't affect anything, after all. Once you've
had your fill of Ketil's tour, go visit the kids at the docks again. After
that, visit the captain of the ship, and then head back up to the town
square. It seems that fate doesn't agree with your plans to leave port.
Talk to the captain again to get your passport back, and then head up the
steps and see Ketil again. Then, leave Clik. It's off to Mars!
PART IV: Mars Village [D1MARS]
---==
Back on the world map, head south to the central area of the continent,
and then head east along the path to Mars Village.
Location: Mars Village Suggested Level: 8-12
Items: Silk Robe, Purple Mist, Silence Card, Sour Syrup
Unfortunately, you can't skip this segment (which is kind of silly, seeing
as nothing is preventing you from going to Herlie, but the ship there
refuses to leave port until this part is done). Go visit the house on the
far right end of town for the Silk Robe in the upstairs bedroom, and buy
any other supplies you may be needing at the general store. When all is in
order, visit the elder's house (located in the upper left area of town).
~ Claude's Scenario ~
The story sequence here is fairly long, so bear with it. When you're back
in control, buy any supplies you may be needing, and then tell Celine that
you're ready. Once you've got control again, equip Claude with the Mud
Boots, and enter the Heraldry Forest.
~ Rena's Scenario ~
After the sequence in the elder's house, you will automatically go visit
Dias. After this, just go back to your party and talk to them. Now, buy
any last-minute supplies you may need, and then tell Dias that you're
ready. When you're back in control, equip the Mud Boots on Rena, and head
into the Heraldry Forest. NOTE: you should use Dias' SP, but don't give
him any abilities that raise base stats; when/if he permanently joins you
later, those boosts will not be in effect. Also, feel free to unequip Dias
entirely and give his stuff to your other party members.
Location: Heraldry Forest Suggested Level: 8-12
Items: ?HERB, Amber Robe, Smelling Salts, Dummy Doll, Flame Blade, Mandrake
Monsters: Carlaeagle, Robberaxe, Magius, Bugbear, Bloodworm, Stingray
From the entrance of the Heraldry Forest, head left and grab the ?HERB.
After that, take advantage of the save point, and head into the forest
proper. The path is entirely straightforward at first, so don't worry; you
can't get lost. You'll have to fight bandits along the way, but they're
really not too tough at all (especially in Rena's scenario, since Dias is
level 35). Once you reach any intersection, be sure to explore both of
the possible paths, so you can get any items that may be down the dead
ends. Also, if you didn't before, be sure to equip the Mud Boots (but not
on Dias; trust me on this one). Before long, you'll reach the final
intersection of the forest. Head off to the left.
~ Claude's Scenario ~
The master of Heraldry from the elder's house will wander into the area,
and reveal that he's the boss of the bandits. Now you have to defeat him.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Varmillion Exp: 1000 Fol: 1000
HP: 3,000 Resistances: Dark Difficulty: Easy
Recommended Party: Claude & Celine Suggested Level: 10-13
This boss will only attack physically. If you can keep your distance and
use attacks that keep him at bay or let you dodge him (Head Splitter in
particular), then you shouldn't have a problem.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the fight, the plot will continue automatically.
~ Rena's Scenario ~
A little girl will run into the scene, and you'll have to fight a lone
bandit; no challenge. Now, continue left. Soon, you'll be in a boss fight
with Azamgil.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Azamgil Exp: 1840 Fol: 3750
HP: 2,000 Resistances: None Difficulty: Average
Recommended Party: Rena & Dias Suggested Level: 10-13
Azamgil comes with 4 Shielders (1,400 HP each), who are really annoying.
Have Rena spam a full-screen attack like Ray or (if you have it) Light
Cross, while Dias protects her from any incoming Shielders or Azamgil
himself. Once the Shielders are down, Azamgil is easy as pie; just spam
Air Slash and/or Chaos Sword.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the fight, you'll get the hut key. Take it to the cabin door, and
unlock it. You can talk to the kids if you want, or you can leave the area
and continue the plot.
With that out of the way, you'll be in Celine's house. After a short chat
with the elder, try to leave town. Some more story sequences will take
place, and you'll (finally) be able to leave for Herlie.
PART V: Herlie and Hilton [D1HERLIE]
---==
From Mars, it's a short walk east to Herlie. Go ahead and go there.
Location: Herlie Suggested Level: 11-15
Items: 1200 FOL, Leather Boots, Ring of Sadness, Ringed Mail,
Sinclair Saber
You're not obligated to, but you may want to buy some supplies before you
cross over to the next continent (I certainly suggest it). Also, if you
plan to recruit Ashton, this is your first (and almost last) chance to.
See the next section for details. Once you're ready, board the ship, and
head on over to the continent of Lacour, and the town of Hilton.
Location: Hilton
There's literally nothing here but shops and NPCs. Stock up on anything
you're running short on, then head to the world map. Note that enemies on
the Lacour continent are much stronger than most everything on the Cross
continent, so if you haven't been leveling up, you may be in for a bit of
a surprise. Anyway, your next goal is the town of Lacour, in the middle of
the continent. Naturally you can go visit the Lacour Front Lines and Linga
now if you want, but the plot won't continue until you visit Lacour.
SUBQUEST: Getting Ashton [SQASHTON]
--=
NOTICE: If you want to get Opera in your party, do not finish this
subquest! Getting Ashton will prevent you from getting Opera. If you plan
to get Opera, and want to do the Salva Drift sequence, do not agree to take
Ashton along and do not return to the room you meet Ashton in until after
you've left Salva and re-entered the town!
Location: Salva Drift Dragon's Nest
Items: Maple Syrup, Brigandine, Iron, Aquaberry, Golden Earring,
Cinderella Glass, Diamond, Star Ruby
Monsters: Gerel, Sandglass, Beastmaster, Werewolf, Scewer
To get Ashton, you need to complete the Mars Village sequence. Go to
Herlie, and talk to the two sailors near the entrance of town to find out
about the dragon in Salva. Leave Herlie, and return to Salva. Enter the
drift, and make your way into the dragon's domain. You'll see a mysterious
fighter in there as you make your way through the area. Follow the path
to the end, and you'll find Ashton there, fighting a two-headed dragon.
After the fight, say you'll take responsibility, and he'll join your party.
If you tell him no, returning to the room where he was fighting the dragon
in will force him to join your party. Note that you can go as far as
meeting Ashton and turning him down and still be able to recruit Opera.
If you want to get the Diamond and Star Ruby, but don't want Ashton, leave
Salva and re-enter; Ashton will no longer be in the mines.
Ashton has his own sub-quest that you can do at almost any time, starting
now. Head to Mars Village, and check the bookshelf there. After this,
go back to Cross, and ask for permission to enter the Mountain Palace.
Head there (it's north of cross, on a side-path from the road that leads
to Clik).
Location: Mountain Palace Suggested Level: 12-15
Items: Luna Tablet, Crystal, Fairy's Statue, Emerald Ring, ?MINERAL,
Amber Robe, Crest Rod, Damascus, Fairy's Cologne, Wolfsbane, ?HERB,
Ressurection Bottle, ?JEWELERY, Cure Stone, Sweet Syrup, ?MINERAL, Cestus
Monsters: Archer, Slimepool, Petrogerell, Hounddog, Hood, Sandglass
Yikes, well-stuffed dungeon! The path through is far from straightforward
or easy, but there's a lot you can find to make up for the maze-like
structure of the place. Once you get to the room with the goblet, you'll
have to fight a boss.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Nightmare Exp: 4000 Fol: 9000
HP: 9,000 Resistances: None Difficulty: Average
Recommended Party: Claude, Rena, Celine, Ashton Suggested Level: 19-21
As with all enemies of this type, Nightmare can and does completely evade
physical attacks about 90% of the time. Meaning you need to spam spells
and KMs like Ripper Blast to even hit her. She's annoyingly fast, but not
that powerful overall.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the fight, get the heck out of the dungeon, and head to the Lassguss
Mountains behind Cross.
Location: Lassguss Mountains Suggested Level: 21-23
Monsters: Pilesherry, Koboldking, Sargwen, Shout, Simurgh, Flyingray
As if to make up for the previous dungeon, this one is short and entirely
bereft of items. Note that this is a good place to level up. Anyway, just
make your way to the top, save at the bird nest, and battle XINE.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: XINE Exp: 8300 Fol: 3200
HP: 20,000 Resistances: None Difficulty: Average
Recommended Party: Claude, Rena, Celine, Ashton Suggested Level: 23-26
Clever name (read it backwards). Anyway, XINE is a flying enemy, meaning
you need to either use KMs that can reach that high (like Head Splitter, or
if you've leveled up quite a bit, Ripper Blast), or use physical attacks
and let your spellcasters do the main damage for you. XINE has a lot of
annoying moves, but he tends to focus on your fighters, so Rena should be
able to keep everybody alive while you rip XINE a new one.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After this, return to the Salva Drift where you found Ashton, and the
subquest will complete. Note that, though this subquest IS entirely
optional and Ashton will never leave the party even if you ignore it, you
get enough goodies from doing it that it's worth it.
PART VI: Lacuor Castle [D1LACOUR]
---==
Location: Lacour
Items: Star Ruby
After a brief chat at the entrance, you're free to explore the town and
buy stuff. If you're feeling particularly ambitious, see the next section
for details on how you can power up and get another ally here on the Lacour
continent. If you're playing Rena's scenario, I suggest you level Claude
up quite a bit before continuing.
When you're satisfied that you're ready, visit the castle and talk to the
upper receptionist. Enter the Lacour Tournament of Arms, and then head to
the item shop area of town. Any shop you want is fine as a sponsor, so
pick one according to how much you think you'll need to focus on defense or
attack power. Once that's done, stay at the inn.
~ Rena's Scenario ~
Rena will run off after staying at the inn. Lead her to the far left side
of town, and talk to the little girl there, then go to the bar and talk to
the fighting men there. After a bit, Dias will show up. Head back to the
forge, then head back to the inn.
Go on up to the castle, and into the left wing, then upstairs into the
arena proper. Talk to the receptionist.
~ Claude's Scenario ~
Head into the waiting room, and you'll soon be in a battle. The fight is
not too hard, so you should prevail without trouble. Afterwards, go to the
stands and talk to your allies, then fight another battle. This time, keep
your distance and use long-range moves like Head Splitter, Air Slash, and
Ripper Blast. Once more, return to the stands and talk to your allies, and
then you'll be back in battle. You cannot win against Dias, so don't
bother trying.
~ Rena's Scenario ~
Follow Dias, then head to Gamgee's. After that, try to enter the tavern.
One easy fight later, you'll get the Sharpness. Go into the tavern and
talk to Gamgee, then head back to the arena. Note that, if you didn't
equip Dias' stuff on your party members but did remove it prior to this,
Dias will reclaim all of his equipment from you. Go to the upper end of
the arena, and down into the central viewing area. Then go around to the
far side and talk to Gamgee. Return to the viewing area and talk to
Claude. To trigger the rest of this area's story scenes, just keep exiting
the upper seating area and re-entering it, then walking into the upper part
of the central staircase.
After the tournament, go first to see Gamgee (the swordsmith living on the
far left side of town). If you got to the fight with Dias, he will give
you the Sharp Edge. Afterwards, go back to the item shop that sponsored
you and get your consolidation prize. After that, you're free to head to
Linga.
IMPORTANT! If you got up to Dias in the tournament, visit Gamgee and get
the Sharp Edge BEFORE you leave Lacour! You cannot come back to get it
later! This is your only chance!
SUBQUESTS: Lacour Detours [SQLACOUR]
--=
Once again, there's a lot of stuff you can do at any point as soon as you
get to the new continent. Here's the big tasks...
Finishing the Skill Dossier: You can buy the remaining skillsets you lack
from Hilton, Lacour, and Linga. This will net you a number of useful
abilities, and open the path to learning any Item Creation skill. I
suggest you level up Claude's Metalworking ability to 10, so you can take
advantage of a sword you'll be able to get soon.
Recruiting Precis: You can also recruit Precis at this point if you visit
Linga, so it may be worth a visit unless you plan to skip getting her. If
you do plan to get Precis, go to Linga, exit, do a PA, and go either to the
north side of town (Claude's scenario) or to the house in the lower left
corner of town (Rena's scenario) to initiate the sequence to recruit her.
Making Money: If you got a Marvel Sword from the Treasure Chest earlier,
then you have a chance to make a lot of money off of it now. Linga sells
Magical Film and a Magical Camera, or you can train up an ally (I suggest
Precis if you got her) in Mechanical skill and have them build a Ririca
instead. Either way, you can duplicate the Marvel Sword and sell it for
an insanely high price (even higher if you use Identify All! to raise the
price beforehand).
Leveling Up: Lacour's hotspot leveling area is the forests outside of the
Lacour Front Lines. You can find Salamanders there, who are very dangerous
and very valuable. If you're feeling less than enthusiastic about manually
leveling up by now, then you may want to try your hand at Reverse Side and
see if you can't make a Forged Medals item (if you haven't already gotten
one from the Mischief, that is). Use the Reproduction skill to duplicate
the Forged Medals as much as needed, and you'll be able to level up all of
your characters to level 100 if you so desire. This does, of course, break
the game's difficulty.
Eternal Sphere: This can only be done after the Tournament of Arms. Save
after you get the Sharp Edge from Gamgee, then level up Radar twice for an
ally. If you don't get at least 1 Mithril, reload and level Radar again.
Once you do get Mithril, save and (if you only got 1) repeat the process
for a different ally. Save after you have 2 Mithrils, then have Claude do
Metalworking on the Sharp Edge with Mithril. Once he successfully makes
the Minus Sword, save again. Then, Metalwork the Minus Sword with Mithril.
This will almost definitely take several tries, but it's worth it: it will
net you Eternal Sphere, the best sword in the game.
SUBQUEST: Getting Opera [SQOPERA]
--=
NOTICE: To do this subquest, you must not have Ashton! If you got Ashton
earlier, or if you missed the scene involving the three-eyed man in Cross,
you won't be able to recruit her. You can still recruit Opera if you went
as far as meeting Ashton and turning him down; the game only cares if he
actually joins the party or not for recruiting Opera.
After you complete the Tournament of Arms, head to Hilton's pub and watch
the scene there. Head back to Cross and ask the king about the three-eyed
woman, then head to the Mountain Palace.
Location: Mountain Palace Suggested Level: 12-15
Items: Luna Tablet, Crystal, Fairy's Statue, Emerald Ring, ?MINERAL,
Amber Robe, Crest Rod, Damascus, Fairy's Cologne, Wolfsbane, ?HERB,
Ressurection Bottle, ?JEWELERY, Cure Stone, Sweet Syrup, ?MINERAL, Cestus
Monsters: Archer, Slimepool, Petrogerell, Hounddog, Hood, Sandglass
Same items as in Ashton's scenario, as you can see. Make your way in, and
recruit Opera as soon as you find her. You can technically quit at this
point, but since you're here, you may as well continue and get the items in
this dungeon. There's a boss fight of sorts partway in against some
Salamander lookalikes. They're not too hard, they're just like Salamanders
are. Once you find Ernest's lab, you can leave.
NOTE: If you plan to recruit Ernest, return to Arlia now and enter Shingo
Forest. Go to the upper right corner of the clearing in the forest, and
watch the scene there. If you have Precis recruited, Opera will get the
Seventh Ray as well. This is required for getting Ernest, but if you don't
plan to get him, DO NOT WATCH THIS SCENE! Opera will leave your party upon
finding Ernest if you refuse to take him along.
PART VII: Linga [D1LINGA]
---==
Once you get to Linga, visit the house furthest to the right in the middle
of town. Then go visit the pharmacy on the north end of town, and talk to
the shopkeep from the wrong side of the counter. After that, it's off to
the Linga Sanctuary.
Location: Sanctuary of Linga
Items: Lavender x3, Wolfsbane, Mandrake, Artemis Leaf, Aceras x2,
Rose Hips, Ruby, Mixed Syrup, Might Chain, Rainbow Diamond, Bubble Lotion,
Straight Punch, Twin-Edge, ?GUARD, Spring Water, Cinderella Glass
Monsters:
I suggest you avoid collecting herbs until you've found the rare one
you're after. There are two ways to go about this dungeon: you can either
collect every herb in sight until you find Clarisage, or you can hold off
until you reach the back of the cave and get a Dill Whip. Both of them
will work, but Bowman will be more impressed by a Dill Whip. If you visit
the very back of the cave, you'll find the last of the treasures, and a
pack of 3 Visseyers. These enemies can eat your allies when they attack,
but attacking them after they swallow an ally will force them to release
whomever they ate. Regardless, you can return to Linga once you have
either a Clarisage or a Dill Whip.
Show Bowman the herb you got, then head to Kieth's again. If you didn't
recruit Precis, Bowman will offer to go along with you; it's your call if
you want to take him up on that. Anyway, after all's said and done, return
to Lacour, and head to the basement of the castle.
PART VIII: The Hoffman Ruins [D1HOFFMAN]
---==
Now you have Bratrat... er, Leon in the party (for now). Head to Hilton
and take the ship to the Hoffman Ruins, and head on inside.
Location: Hoffman Ruins
Items: Cure Stone, Recoil Bracelet, Angel Hair, Light Box, Aquaberry,
Dictionary, Cure Paralysis, Holy Mist, Green Beryl x2, Zephyr Earring,
Orichalcum, 1-Up Pudding, Gold, Hyperball, Diamond, Spring Water,
Fruit Syrup, Hot Syrup, Peep Half, Material Kit, Peep-Peep Bomb,
Blackberry, Sturm Ring, 'Spring', ?HERB, Sour Syrup, Paralysis Check
Monsters:
This place is big, long, and annoying. Along the way, you'll occasionally
find explosives which you can detonate. A few of these reveal items, but
most just damage you and accomplish nothing. That said, you may as well
activate all of them, seeing as healing is not difficult at all. Once you
reach the lowest part of the ruins, save and head in for a boss fight.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Harfainx x2 Exp: 40000 Fol: 10000
HP: 36,700 Resistances: Light, Dark, Difficulty: Average
Thunder
Recommended Party: 3 fighters + Rena Suggested Level: 32-35
The Harfainx enemies love to cast lightning spells, so try and focus on
whatever one your allies are not focusing on at the moment. If you keep
them busy with your fighters, they won't be able to cast their spells, and
thus won't be hard at all. Just be sure to heal if they do somehow slip
past your defenses and cast a spell, and do not under any circumstances let
them spell-combine: combined Thunderstorm can easily do over 2000 damage to
all allies.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the fight, exit the Hoffman Ruins. Note that, if you recruited
Opera and saw her downed ship in Shingo Forest, you will have an additional
sequence here and have to fight another boss.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Ghost Exp: 52000 Fol: 85000
HP: 8,200 Resistances: None Difficulty: Very Easy
Recommended Party: 3 fighters + Rena Suggested Level: 32-35
Ahahahaha, you're kidding me, right? This guy is pathetically easy. The
best move he has is Black Saber. I cannot see how he will be anything
resembling a problem for you if you could handle the Harfainxes.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the fight, you get the option to either ditch Opera, or recruit both
her and Ernest; I suggest you recruit him. If you do recruit him, go to
both Mars and Linga and save outside them, then do a PA and find Ernest.
Pickpocket him in both places to get 2 Battle Suits, ridiculously powerful
armor that has 500 defense.
Regardless, head back to Lacour, and visit Lacour Castle's throne room.
PART IX: The Lacuor Front Line [D1FRONT]
---==
NOTE: This is the point of no return for disc 1. As soon as you go to the
Lacour Front Line and join up, you will not be able to return to the world
map. Be sure to prepare sufficiently before continuing.
Head to the Lacour Front Line now, which is in the opposite direction from
Linga, following a different road than the one to Hilton. Once you're
there, visit the commander's office on the top level, right-most room.
Leave the room for some story scenes.
~ Rena's Scenario ~
Go follow Dias and talk to him. If you want him in your party, ask him
to join up with you. Then go out on the balcony.
The next day, talk to everybody at the front, then enter the main hallway.
Go up to the pavillion. You'll be thrown automatically into a battle.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Shin Exp: N/A Fol: N/A
HP: 21,000 Resistances: All Difficulty: Impossible
Recommended Party: 3 fighters + Rena Suggested Level: 32-35
This is one of the most annoying battles in the game: you have to survive
for 1 minute, but you cannot damage the boss, and the boss ignores your
defenses entirely. There's nothing to indicate that you need to stay alive
in this fight, either. Anyway, just avoid the boss as best you can, and
draw it away from Rena so she can heal as necessary. After the minute's
up, Shin will leave.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the fight, talk to the commander in his office, then go back to the
infirmary and try to exit it. More story scenes commence (and if you have
Precis, you'll get a Thunder Punch). Exit the pavillion once you can, and
head into the main part of the hall. Next time you have control, you'll be
in yet another fight (an easy one against some Stonestatues), then a boss
fight.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Shin Exp: N/A Fol: N/A
HP: 21,000 Resistances: All Difficulty: Impossible
Recommended Party: 3 fighters + Rena Suggested Level: 32-35
Nice FMV Elvis 'do, Shin. Anyway, this time there's no time limit on the
battle, so feel free to get your arse handed to you as fast as you please.
This battle is a good chance to raise skill for Healing Star and/or Secret
Medicine, at least. Don't you just hate must-lose battles?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
PART X: Eluria [D1ELURIA]
---==
After all that, you'll be on the continent of El. The story here varies
ever so slightly depending on who you chose as your main character, but not
enough to warrant special notes. Make your way up to the Eluria Colony.
Location: Eluria Colony
Items: Plate Mail x2, Rune Cap, Giant Fists, Silver Greaves x2,
Metal Fangs, Silver Robe x2, Shield Sword, Veil Piercer, Fine Shield,
ID Card*
After some brief (sappy) story scenes, you'll be back in control.
~ Claude's Scenario ~
If you want to recruit Leon, be sure to tell the Elder that you'll take
Leon along instead of leaving him there.
Visit the armory, and raid the barrels. As you try to leave, the shop
owner will give you the ID Card. Make your way to Eluria Tower, in the
center of the continent.
Location: Eluria Tower Suggested Level: 35-38
Items: Meteor Ring, Holy Mist, Stone Check, Steel Helm, X Box,
Crestier Guard x2, Musical Software, Trickster, Cure Paralysis, Sapphire,
Aquaberry, Ultra Punch, Fresh Syrup, ?GUARD, Card Key, Murasame Sword,
Giant Fists, Gale Earring, Splinter, Spring Water
Monsters: Eldermagius, Goathead, Defender, Coldlizard, Darthwidow,
Gelatinfloat
Go up to the door and use the ID Card to get inside. I love the music in
this place... Anyway, raid the rooms for their treasures (there's a hidden
room off to the left in the second section of the tower that has the
Trickster), and make your way up. Note that, if you haven't been leveling,
this place is a great spot to do so. Anyway, as you make your way towards
the top, you'll eventually find a statue of a priest. Talk to it and input
A P O C A. By doing so, you'll gain the Access Card, which lets you reach
the last part of the dungeon. Once you reach where you can use the Card
Key, if you go to the left, you can get a scene involving Claude. It's a
bit more verbose in Claude's scenario, so if you're playing his, look
below.
~ Claude's Scenario ~
Upon being beamed up to the Calnus, make your way to the bridge, and then
pickpocket the cadet to the right of the door for a Battle Suit. If you
fail to steal this, you may want to reload, as Battle Suits are rare and
very powerful. Most of the rest of the ship's staff has useful stuff too,
so feel free to rob them all blind. Once you're ready, talk to Ronixis to
resume the plot.
Take the right path, be sure to use the save point, then go face Shin
again.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Shin Exp: 45,400 Fol: 52,100
HP: 21,000 Resistances: All Difficulty: Average
Recommended Party: 3 fighters + Rena Suggested Level: 38-41
Items: Emerald Ring
Now he can be beaten, and he's actually not that hard. He comes with two
Stonestatues (2,200 HP each), but they're barely even minor annoyances.
Use your best flying KMs, and avoid letting Shin get too close, since he
can absorb HP and MP via his Spoiling attack. Ripper Blast, Head Splitter,
and other such aerial attacks will see you through.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the battle, head upstairs. Feel free to eplore the side rooms, but
do not enter the right-hand door in the area that the middle door leads to
until you're ready to finish disc 1. Doing so will trigger the final boss
fight of this disc, as well as a lot of exposition.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Berle Exp: N/A Fol: N/A
HP: 100,000 Resistances: All Difficulty: Impossible
Recommended Party: 3 fighters + Rena Suggested Level: 42-45
Just like the first Shin fight, you have to survive for 1 minute without
having everybody die. To make this easier to do, set all of your allies'
AI to Do Nothing, then use your controlled character to kite Berl around
the battlefield for the whole minute.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the fight, the disc ends. Prease insult disc 2.
Disc 2 Walkthrough
===--
PART XI: Energy Nede [D2NEDE]
---==
As the second half of Star Ocean 2 opens, you witness a confusing and
almost nonsensical conversation between the Ten Wise Men. The party will
wake up, and Rena will inform them that they're at the Outer Wall Paradise.
Before long, the party will find a transporter, and you'll take control of
the party again in a much more high-tech facility. Leave the Transporter
Room, and watch as a short conversation ensues between the party and the
mayor of Central City, Narl.
~ Rena's Scenario ~
Narl will ask to speak with Rena alone. It's just a brief little chat,
and not that important.
Once your party is assembled, look around town. Be sure to visit every
location in Central City, and upgrade your equipment.
RECRUITMENT NOTICE: Make sure you see the strange red-haired woman near
the inn in Central City before you leave the city! This is critical for
recruiting a character later.
Once your party is equipped and ready, leave Central City, and go
northwards, to North City. There's a lot of stuff available in North City
that can't be found anywhere else, so you may want to get as much as
possible here, as well. When you feel you're ready, go to the building on
the far upper right side of town, the Synard home.
Talk to the receptionist, and visit the director's office on the first
floor. A boss fight will commence shortly.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Synard Exp: 80000 Fol: 20000
HP: 43,000 Resistances: None Difficulty: Average
Recommended Party: 3 ranged fighters + Rena Suggested Level: 50-55
The Synard is a flying boss, meaning that sword-users and ground-based
attackers will have a hard time against it. Your team for fighting the
Synard should include Opera w/Alpha on One, Ernest w/Broken Heart, Precis
w/Ally-Oop!, and/or Bowman w/Poison Pills. As long as they use their
Killer Moves as much as possible, the Synard will be done for in no time.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
With that accident over, the director will inform you that you'll have to
get a Synard another way, and sends you through yet another transporter.
PART XII: The Synard [D2SYNARD]
---==
Location: Noel's House
Items: Nature's Life Force, Pet Food, 50,000 FOL
You'll find yourself deposited in yet another transporter room (which you
should leave, obviously). Upon exiting the teleporter, you'll see that
the building you're in is little more than a log cabin, and that it's
inhabitant is back. The owner introduces himself as Noel, and informs you
that you're at an endangered species preserve. After a short conversation,
he joins you to guide you through the Cave of Red Crystals to find a wild
Synard. Leave his house (after grabbing the stuff in it), and head towards
the large cave on the island.
Location: Cave of Red Crystal Suggested Level: 55-60
Items: Dream Bracelet, Heraldry, ?MINERAL, Resurrection Bottle,
Cinderella Glass, Flying Hawk Robes, Fruit Syrup, ?MINERAL, Link Combo,
Fairy Glass, Chisato's Job ID*
Enemies: Hellhound, Bang, Raystinger, Periton
The Cave of Red Crystal isn't hard, and there's no time limit (despite
Noel's comment), so take your time and get all of the treasures. About
halfway through, when going to grab a chest below the main path, you should
see the red-haired reporter trip and drop her job ID. If you don't, then
you forgot to see her earlier in Central City, and that means that you
won't be able to recruit her. After seeing her trip, grab her Job ID, and
continue through the cave to the Synard. The Synard is being attacked,
though (of course), so you have to fight it's attackers.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Arcmene x2 Exp: 78,000 Fol: 52,000
HP: 40,000 Weak Points: Thunder Difficulty: Average
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 60-65
Items: Reverse Doll, Steel Armor
These spider-ladies aren't really all that tough, they're just resillient.
Thrash them constantly so that they stay peeped, and they won't pose any
threat at all. They can teleport and throw sickles, just like their non-
boss selves can, but they're hardly difficult to corner.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
With the threat taken care of, the plot will continue, and you will get
the Synard. Head back to Central City now.
Back in Central City, go up to the third floor, and visit the Nede
Chronicle. Talk to the red-haired reporter you kept running into, and you
can choose to recruit her (assuming she did follow you around). From here,
just head up to the mayor's office, and he'll tell you what to do next. To
sum it up, you need to collect the four powers of Nede from the Fields of
Power, Intelligence, Courage, and Love. He gives you the keys to these
Fields (the Rune Codes), and sends you on your way.
PART XIII: The Four Fields
---==
The entire world of Nede is open to you now, so let's have an overview of
the locations and options available at this point.
Giveaway: This town has some unique items for sale, and you can start the
quest to find out the information in the North City secret files here, as
well. On one of the smaller islands north of Giveaway, there is a hidden
shop (called Fake Gallery), which sells fairly high-quality items at very
high prices.
Location: Giveaway
Items: Fairy Glass
Armlock: For now, this is simply the best place to buy weapons at (although
you should be able to outmatch what you can buy here via Customize).
Fun City: A good place to go if you want to level up specific characters in
the Battle Arena, or if you want to collect prizes from the battling
tournament. The Bunny Races are very hard to win, as is Master Chef, and
the rewards from each are minimal, so stick with the battling tournament.
L'Aqua: There's not much you can really do here at this point, save some
pickpocketing.
Now then, you have four Fields you can pick and choose from. Each Field
has a section dedicated to it, and you can actually take them on in any
order you want.
The Field of Intelligence [D2FINTEL]
--=
Location: Field of Intelligence
Items: Fairy Glass, Jeanne's Helm, Alpha Box, Mirror of Wisdom, Rune Metal,
Great Punch, Fruit Syrup
Monsters: Ricki, Wizard, Controller, Reflectguard
This dungeon is a bit irksome. Progress is made by checking the mirrors,
and your goal is to flag all the switches in the central hub. You can
easily do this by visiting every mirror, so a guide to doing this should
not be even remotely necessary. After the switches are hit, the path to
the boss will be open.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Magichand Exp: 161,600 Fol: 82,200
HP: 130,000 Weak Points: None Difficulty: Average
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 60-65
Items: Ressurection Mist, Cinderella Glass, Rare Gauntlets, Reverse Doll
This boss is annoying for many reasons, most notable being that it has 4
sub-bosses with it (2 Magicboxes, a Guardbox, and a Workbox, all with
30,000 HP each). Focus on the "box" enemies first, but beware: the Workbox
and Guardbox will absorb star attacks, so Eternal Sphere will heal those
two enemies. That aside, the fight is mostly annoying, and is easiest when
done with allies who have good aerial KMs.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The fight over, you get the Jewel of Intelligence. Leave the Field
afterwards.
The Field of Power [D2FPOWER]
--=
Location: Field of Power
Items: Marvel Sword, Blackberry, Rune Full Moon, Assault Bomb,
Melting Lotion, Jeanne's Armor, ?GUARD (Mithril Helm), Atlas Ring
Monsters: Insaneload, Darkcrusader, Atulatul, Ghast, Yety*
This Field is almost notorious, due to a few ape monsters that can turn
off switches and block side paths in the process (which lead to treasures),
called Yety (sic). Many a player has quit in frustration at this point due
to those apes... Anyway, the dungeon itself is actually fairly
straightforward, with quite a few side-paths for you to take and collect
treasures from. Once you've cleaned the place out (it takes a bit of time,
and there are about 5 of those switch-flicking Yety groups), make your way
to the summit. Before long, you'll be fighting the Guardian of this Field.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Guardian Exp: 150,000 Fol: 64,000
HP: 130,000 Weak Points: Earth, Fire, Water Difficulty: Average
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 60-65
Items: Protection Ring
Gee, what an original boss name... Anyway, Guardian's a pushover if you
have good fighting techniques like Ripper Blast and Alpha on One. He's a
heavy hitter, but if you get him peeped, he'll never hit you even once.
Just don't rely on spellcasters for him, or you're right screwed.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the fight, grab the jewel, then high-tail it off the mountain (yes,
you have to walk all the way back...).
The Field of Courage [D2FCOURAG]
--=
Location: Field of Courage
Items: Sour Syrup, Spring Water, Jeanne's Shield, Mithril Greaves,
Stone Check, Warrior Statue*
Monsters: Darkcrusader, Insaneload, Rikilo, Otif, Fenrilbeast
The trick to this place is to find the Warrior Statue, then make your way
up to the second floor and use it. Though the encounter rate is high, and
most fights are side attacks, you shouldn't have too much trouble if you
managed to get this far. Place the Warrior Statue on the pedestal on the
second floor to initiate the boss fight.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Guardian Exp: 150,000 Fol: 64,000
HP: 130,000 Weak Points: Earth, Fire, Water Difficulty: Average
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 60-65
Items: Protection Ring
This is the exact same boss as the previous Field had. Same tactics apply
here as did there.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the fight, grab the jewel and go.
The Field of Love [D2FLOVE]
--=
Location: Field of Love
Items: Serpent's Tooth, Ressurection Mist, Holy Robe, Hot Syrup
Monsters: Reflectguard, Masterwizard, NiquiaHG, Controlkey, Rikiha
This one is flying in the sky. It's annoying as hell, but not very hard
to finish, since it's so tiny. There are switches on some of the platforms
that cause them to rotate, which you'll need to hit to reach the boss and
to get all the treasures. Once you get to the end, you'll fight (surprise
surprise!) another boss.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Lover Exp: 55,200 Fol: 38,040
HP: 60,000 Weak Points: Light Difficulty: Average
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 60-65
Lover comes with 2 Breakwings (30,000 HP each) who should be taken out
first, since they use nasty magic like Star Flare. Once you've got the
Breakwings down, Lover's a total joke.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Grab the jewel and leave.
PART XIV: The Ten Wise Men
---==
Assault on Feinal [D2FEINAL]
--=
Once you have all 4 Jewels, return to Central City and talk to Mayor Narl
to begin the campaign to take down the 10 Wise Men. When you get control
again, head out to the world map, save (if you want to), and enter Feinal.
After some story, you'll fight a bunch of robots, and then a "boss".
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Marsillio Exp: N/A Fol: N/A
HP: 150,000 Resistances: None Difficulty: Impossible
Recommended Party: 3 fighters + Rena Suggested Level: 65-70
Getting sick of can't-win battles? This is the last of them, and it's
also (pleasantly enough) NOT a time-limited battle. Let Marsillio rip you
a new one, so the fight ends fast. Note that, if an ally has an Algol
equipped, you can sometimes insta-kill Marsillio when he hits them. This
has zero impact on the plot, however; it will always act like you lost.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Afterwards, you'll be back in Central City, and be told to head to Armlock
next.
Anti-Matter Weapons [D2WEAPONS]
--=
In Armlock, go to the far north side of town, and talk to Narl. He will
lead you to the Heraldry Weapons Laboratory.
Location: Heraldry Weapons Laboratory
Items: Mind Ring
The Mind Ring is in a side area off to the right. Anyway, make your way
to the central data banks in the north part of the laboratory, then go back
outside and into the forest below the transporter back to Armlock.
Afterwards, go to Mirage's house (she lives in the center of town), and
after you see her about the data, go to the Minhe Cavern in the south of
Energy Nede.
Location: Minhe Cavern
Items: Fruit Syrup, ?MINERAL, Encyclopedia, Fresh Syrup, Smelling Salts,
Mithril Mesh, Smith's Hammer, Spring Water, Meteorite, Wonder Drug,
Lightning Gun, Dummy Doll, Aceras, LEA Metal*
Monsters:
This dungeon is unique: the walls are basically monsters, and monsters are
all over the place. The encounter rate is truly ridiculous. BUT, when you
beat the boss, the random encounters all go away. So it's in your best
interest to make it to the back of the cave and face the boss first thing.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Bark Exp: 59,800 Fol: 55,000
HP: 150,000 Weak Points: None Difficulty: Easy
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 65-70
Bark does not move, or attack, or do anything... at first. But once the
fight has lasted long enough, Bark uses Lost Patience, which does pretty
good damage to all allies. He'll keep doing Lost Patience at regular (and
very slow) intervals. Seeing as he NEVER attacks you, you'd have to be
very low-leveled to lose this fight.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the fight, you can take the LEA metal to Mirage in Armlock. After
that, equip your new antimatter weapons (if you'd like), then tell the
assistant you want to see Mayor Narl, then prepare to fight another boss.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Marsillio Exp: 72,000 Fol: 50,000
HP: 150,000 Weak Points: None Difficulty: Fairly Easy
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 65-70
Not so badass now that he can't ignore defense, and doesn't take 0 damage,
huh? Marsillio's a pushover who only does close-range attacks. Hit him
with a long-range delaying attack like Alpha on One while your close-range
allies move in for the kill while he's stunned. Easy easy.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Afterwards, leave the arena to fight ANOTHER boss.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Shiego Exp: 83,000 Fol: 54,000
HP: 160,000 Weak Points: None Difficulty: Easy
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 65-70
Shiego's a fast bastard, but that's all he has going for him. His attacks
barely do anything, so just corner and pummel him like the ass he is.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After that, head to Armlock and go towards Mirage's house for ANOTHER
boss. Sick of these yet?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Berle Exp: 99,000 Fol: 58,000
HP: 170,000 Weak Points: None Difficulty: Easy
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 65-70
Items: Merlin Drink
Berle can use a move called Meta-Guard, which puts him in immune state
briefly, but that's his only advantage in this fight. Once his blue
barrier wears off (and it doesn't last long), move in and pummel him good.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Once that's over, you're finally able to move about on your own again.
The Final Strike [D2FINAL]
--=
When you're good and ready, head to L'Aqua. After a story scene with your
lead character and whomever likes them best, you'll be back onto the Herush
and on your way to Feinal once more.
Location: Feinal
Items: Mithril Shield, Heraldry Book, Spark Whip, Nuclear Bomb, Left Cross,
?ITEM, Ressurection Mist, Lotus Eater, Beta Box, Atomic Punch,
Sylvan Boots, Mithril, Titan's Fists, Rune Shoes, Pleiad Sword,
Fresh Syrup, Spring Water, Spark, Clap Rod, Duel Helm, Sage's Stone,
Flash Pot, Aceras, Duel Suit, Goddess Statue, Cure Stone
Monsters:
Big, long, hard. Feinal. The biggest phallus in the world. *bong* Start
again...
Big, long, hard. Feinal. The last dungeon of the game. This place will
take a while to complete, rest assured. As you enter, you'll have to fight
not one, not two, but THREE of the Ten Wise Men at once.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Three Wise Men Exp: 72,000 Fol: 70,000
HP: See below Weak Points: None Difficulty: Somewhat Hard
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 70-75
Items: Reverse Doll
You're fighting against Ruprecht (105,800 HP), Nicolus (45,500 HP), and
Jibril (85,200). Nicolus is the one you want to get rid of first, both
because he has the least HP and because he uses the nastiest magic. Jibril
comes next, since he's also pretty nasty, and Ruprecht can wait for last.
This fight is utterly insane, so be prepared for some unexpected twists.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After the fight, head in and head up. The dungeon has two different paths
at first, one of which leads to some items, and the other of which leads up
to the next boss pair. On the fifth floor, use the save point and go face
the next batch of Wise Men.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Vesper & Decus Exp: 197,000 Fol: 65,000
HP: See below Weak Points: None Difficulty: Somewhat Hard
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 75-80
Vesper has 140,000 HP, Decus has 180,000 HP. Vesper is the spellcaster in
this fight, while Decus does brute force attacks. Focus on Vesper first,
then let Decus have it. The fight will only be slightly less crazy than
the previous boss was, but it's quite doable.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
More dungeon follows after this, in the form of a puzzle floor. You need
to hit all 4 of the hidden switches to progress. It's not a particularly
hard puzzle, just time-consuming to find and hit every switch. Once you
get them all, continue onwards to the next save point and face Cyril.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Cyril Exp: 460,000 Fol: 80,000
HP: 300,000 Weak Points: None Difficulty: Somewhat Hard
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 80-85
Now it's getting serious. Cyril is a hell of an attacker AND a hell of a
mage, so you've got your work cut out for you. Keep your HP up as you wail
on him with your best attacks. This fight will take some time (as his high
HP count no doubt suggests), but he's quite beatable. Just don't use any
elemental KMs on him, and no mages; he's immune to all elemental damage.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Continue onwards, and save at the last save point. You can now return to
Fun City and access Expel again, if you so desire. The remainder of this
guide will tell you how to beat the last boss.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Indalecio Exp: 600,000 Fol: 90,000
HP: 500,000 Weak Points: None Difficulty: Hard
Recommended Party: 3 fighters & Rena Suggested Level: 85+
Indalecio is fast, furious, and deadly. Do not underestimate him, or he
will kick your ass. If you have Opera, her Alpha on One will be a true
lifesaver, since Indalecio can be hitstunned from attacks. Pound on him
with your fastest and best KMs and attacks, and do not let up on healing or
attacking. After a bit, Indalecio will attempt to break his Limiter, but
unless you've returned to Central City and seen Filia's end, he'll fail to
do so. If he does break his Limiter, DO NOT LET HIM CAST SPELLS! His
magic power becomes obscenely high without the limiter, meaning that his
magic will almost definitely do 9999 damage to your whole party if he pulls
any spell off. Should you remove his Limiter, consider yourself fairly
warned...
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Congratulations, you've won Star Ocean 2!
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Side-quests and Secrets
===--
Cave of Trials [SQCOT]
---==
After you've reached the final save point in Feinal and used it, you open
up a very special feature: the ability to return to Expel. Leave Feinal (I
know, it's a hell of a trip), and go back to Fun City. From there, talk to
the old man standing on the far side of the Battling Arena (he's wearing a
green hat), and tell him to revive your memories. Leave Arlia, and you'll
see that you have a Synard in Expel now! This means that you can go to the
far island off in the southwest corner of the world map that you couldn't
reach before! Go there, and you'll find the bonus dungeon, lovingly called
the Cave of Trials.
Floor 1 - Heraldic Ruins
Items: Fruit Nectar, Blueberry, Tri-emplem, Juicy Beef, Wonder Drug,
Nuclear Bomb, Link Stock
Monsters: Livingarmor, Warlock, Weirdknight, Gloomwing
The easiest of all of the floors, this area's mainly just to get you up to
par with the cave. There are no secrets or hidden items on this floor, and
everything is in plain sight (including the path to the exit), so feel free
to explore. The boss of the first floor is Darkfeather, a succubus boss
who can petrify your party members, and who dodges physical attacks quite
frequently. She's not too tough, fortunately. Victory against her nets
you a pair of Bunny Shoes, and access to the second floor.
Floor 2 - Lover's Alley
Items: Purity Leaf, Link Combo, Reflective Armor, Resurrection Mist
Monsters: Giant, Huntinggel, Cavesting, Weirdaxe
This floor is rather annoying. Because of the horrid translation, it's
all but impossible to understand the plaque at the entrance that tells you
the solution. The basic idea is to make each statue face the statue that
they "love" (according to what the plaque says). Here's a quick guide to
what direction each statue has to face:
Yufie - South
Lloyd - East
Cistina - South
Feria - East
Luke - North
Milene - South
Sharon - West
That will open the door to the boss of the second floor, Bloodgrell. Note
that the Link Combo is on the ground between Luke and Milene. The boss of
this floor is really just a regular monster on later floors, but he has the
same ability as all monsters of his type: to split in two. Be wary, and
use your best combos to kill him quick.
Floor 3 - Single Path Cave
Items: Slayer's Ring, Fruit Nectar (x2), Sylvan Mail, Wonder Drug,
Dream Crown, Juicy Beef
Monsters: Bloodgerell, Weirdgoat, Lesserdemon, Warlock
This floor is fairly easy, but you have to keep an eye on what you're
doing so that you don't backtrack. I've outlined a fairly good path below.
___________________

KEY:

|____|
The boss of this floor is a group of Dreamshades (hourglass monsters).
They can use a rather annoying skill called Dream Peace, which stops all
allies for about five seconds. To avoid this pesky state, control Rena and
have her cast Ray every chance possible. Alternately, open the circle
command menu and wait until your characters resume their normal "standing
in place" poses when Dream Peace is activated. Victory nets you some
Magical Drops.
Floor 4 - Dancing God's Altar
Items: Fruit Nectar, Black Earring, Peep Non, Resurrection Mist,
Purity Leaf, Seraphic Garb, Illusive Shamisen, Extinction spell
Monsters: Huntinggel, Punkponk
This floor has two hidden walls right off the bat, with Leon's best spell
hidden in a chest behind one of them. The area is still very simple,
requiring little thought (flip both levers, and go into the center room to
meet the Dancing God; play her a song with a high-skill musician, and you
will net yourself the Illusive Shamisen).
The boss is behind a hidden wall along the left path, and is called
Miel128. He's a real pain in the arse, and can shoot his rockets in three
directions. He also blocks attacks quite a bit. Even so, he can be
peeped, so once he is, you'll have no trouble at all. Once he's finished,
you can reach the next level.
Floor 5 - Lady's Revenge
Items: Fresh Syrup, Slayer's Ring, Wonder Drug, Juicy Beef, Fruit Nectar,
Fairy Ring, Seraphic Garb, Weird Slayer
Monsters: Dragonaxe, Ladyquimira, Atlus, Gloomsting, Greatergoat
A deceptively easy floor. As soon as you enter the second area, you'll
encounter none other than Puffy, the princess of the Fun City arena! Tell
her whatever you want, it doesn't matter. Soon enough, you'll be in an
utterly hopeless battle with a Weird Beast. Just run away (it takes a good
five or six hours to beat it at this point, since you don't have a Weird
Slayer), and explore the floor a bit. You'll see Puffy being harassed by
some Dreamshades a bit further in, so go ahead and save her. She'll drop a
Weird Slayer, possibly the most useful weapon in the game, which you should
equip on Rena. Now, go find her Weird Beast, and slay it. Take the Red
Lotus Gem you get from it, open the previously sealed door, and go on down
to the sixth floor.
Floor 6 - Burglar's Nest
Items: Cure Poison, Dream Crown
Monsters: FunnyThief, MetalFunny, Dreamshade
This floor's a real breather compared to the previous floors. The only
enemies down here are FunnyThieves (the first enemies in the game),
FunnyMetals (which can only be killed by a Funny Slayer), and Dreamshades
(which are really quite rare). If you nabbed a Funny Slayer on disc 1,
equip it on Rena now. Make your way into the area, and you'll find
yourself in a room full of statues. Sometimes, you can meet a fellow here
called Santa (he looks like a regular merchant, though). He sells lots of
useful stuff, including Tri-Emblems and most of the high-level rocks.
Anyway, the puzzle on this floor involves finding the statue with a switch
behind it, so just check the back of each statue until you find it. It
should be the one in the lower right corner.
The boss of the area is a FunnyThief Level 99, accompanied by a few
Dreamshades, a regular FunnyThief and a Dragonaxe. I don't think the Funny
Slayer works on him, so you'll have to beat him up the old-fashioned way.
Be wary, he's extremely fast, and hits hard; gang up on him with KMs like
Alpha on One and Ripper Blast, so he can't nail somebody in a corner and
rip them apart. Once he's down, you may want to take the portal in the
side room back up to the first floor, so you can go outside and save.
Floor 7 - Goddess's Altar
Items: Tri-emplem, Fresh Syrup, Resurrection Mist, Ganze Sea Urchin,
Purity Leaf, Peep Non, Weird Slayer, Bunny Shoes, 'Ishidaya' Tea,
Yukiyachu Tea, Cracked Gem
Monsters: F-thiefL99, Orbiterbeast, Lastavenger, Meigus, Robinfake
This floor can be a real pain. The item you're looking for to get to the
next floor is the Cracked Gem, which is in a chest somewhere on the floor.
Once you get it, you need to repair it with Metalwork (don't worry, I don't
think you can fail, and if you do, you'll probably just get the Cracked Gem
right back).
The boss of the seventh floor is the Mithril Eater, a clone of the Barker
from the Mihne Cave that makes the Barker look weak. He can't move, but he
can be peeped, so the fight should be relatively uneventful. Victory will
also net you a Million Staff, the best rod for Celine, Noel, and Leon. Get
the treasures in the side room, then head on down to the next floor.
Floor 8 - Food God
Items: Lavender, Funny Slayer, Seraphic Garb, Amoeba Soup, Slime Jelly,
Soda Pop, Million Staff, Wonder Drug, Fresh Syrup, Ganze Sea Urchin,
Special Tuna, Peep Non
Monsters: Killergigant, Foriger, Weirddevil, Starguarder
This floor is cute, if somewhat annoying. Make sure you have about 10 or
15 non-failure foods in your inventory, as well as a Mandrake or Wolfsbane
(or both). The floor is essentially 90% optional, so go ahead and run up
to the face on the far wall and start feeding it. Eventually, you'll be
given the option to feed Mandrake and/or Wolfsbane, do so. Who should
appear but everybody's favorite little queen of Fun City's arena, Puffy?
The door to the exit opens, though, so no harm done.
The boss of this floor is a slug monster, called Erysin Beast, and not
very difficult at all. Be wary, it can eat party members (although only
one at a time). Like most monsters at this point, it can be peeped, so
feel free to give it a nice big dose of Eternal Sphere + Slayer's Ring.
Upon defeating it, you get a fairly useless Gelatin Steak.
Floor 9 - Sealed Coffin
Items: Artemis Leaf, Valiant Boots, Resurrection Mist, Wonder Drug
Monsters: Cockatricking, Brigandogre, Weirdmalesk, Robinmaster
A straightforward floor, with no boss (yet). Get whatever treasures you
happen to fancy, then head for the exit to the 10th floor.
Floor 10 - Decision Point
Items: Funny Slayer, Bunny Shoes, Fresh Syrup, Valkyrie Boots x2,
Rainbow Diamond, Sage's Stone, Valiant Boots, Million Staff, Purity Leaf,
Meteor Swarm spell (Celine), tri-Ace technique (Ashton), Valiant Guard
Monsters: Liveflayer, Mindflayer, Miel128, Clubgunner
This floor is similar to the 3rd floor, but now you get to pick the path
you take. Here's a layout of the map:
x 1 2 3 4
y ___ ___ ___ ___
1 | R | G | G | & |
|___|___|___|___|
2 | Y | G | R | R |
|___|___|___|___|
3 | G | G | Y | Y |
|___|___|___|___|
4 | * | Y | R | R |

Key:
* - You start here
& - The stairs to the next floor
G - Green; safe to pass through
Y - Yellow; damages you as you walk through
R - Red; damages you as you walk through
Take note that the enemies down here are ruthless. Clubgunners can do a
lot of damage (they're the walking mechs), MindFlayers can suck your entire
MP store away in a hit or two, and LiveFlayers (which look exactly like
MindFlayers, save that their casing is all white) can turn even level 255
heroes into corpses in seconds. There are also weak Miel128's, which are
utterly impossible to tell apart from LiveFlayers. Hitting first is of
critical importance on this floor. Bloody Armor may be required for any
hope of survival.
There are some chests in some of the rooms, listed below in (x,y) format
corresponding to the numbers on the above chart.
(1,1) Bunny Shoes
(1,2) Funny Slayer
(2,4) Fresh Syrup
(3,2) Valkyrie Boots
(3,4) Rainbow Diamond, Sage's Stone, Valkyrie Boots
(4,1) Tri-Ace (Ashton's last KM)
(4,2) Million Staff, Meteor Swarm (Celine's last spell)
(4,3) Purity Leaf
(4,4) Valiant Boots
The boss of this floor is a very large mech called Geo Guardian, that
(like all bosses in the cave so far) is peepable. He shouldn't cause you
any trouble, so long as you keep him peeped and unable to perform his nasty
attacks.
Floor 11 - Dragon's Nest
Items: None whatsoever
Monsters: Mindflayer, Miel128, Dreamshade, Ghastricgel, Weird-mage,
Hellmaster, Owlbear
A very short floor, with a boss just a few steps in. The boss is a copy
of the Synard, and significantly harder. Give Claude his best aerial
skills (Dragon Howl and Ripper Blast, essentially), and give everybody else
their best air-based skills, and thrash it. Although the boss can be
peeped, it hardly matters. The fight will take a while, but not that long.
Victory nets you Float, the last combat Skill. You can't access the 12th
floor as of yet, though. You have to split up first, and go with only two
party members (I suggest Claude and Rena).
Floor 12 - Hall of Warriors
Items: Battle Suit x2, Valkyrie Guard, Bunny Shoes
Monsters: Mindflayer, Miel128, Dreamshade, Weird-mage, Hellmaster, Owlbear,
Ghastricgel
An exceptionally short floor, this one ends with the Phoenix boss. Since
you have to face it off with only two allies (hopefully Claude and Rena),
the fight could be a bit difficult. Give Claude Dragon Howl or Ripper
Blast (or both), and set Rena to Aid Allies. Use Dragon Howl/Ripper Blast
to keep the boss at bay, and restore MP as necessary. The fight is long,
but not difficult at all. Once you win, you get the Holy Sword Farwell,
the second-best sword in the game. Head on back up to the 11th floor and
use the escape panel to reunite with the party and save. Even though you
have the option to re-enter the cave with only two party members from now
on, you'll never have to again.
NOTE: Now you have to go back to Sealed Coffin (9th floor), and get the
Levantine Sword from the Wisesorcerer. He has a lot of HP, but can be
peeped, so he won't be tough at all. Once you have the Levantine Sword
(which is, by the way, the best weapon in the game), equip it on Dias or
Ashton and go down to the door behind Phoenix on the 12th floor. You may
have to fight Phoenix again, so be wary.
Final Floor - Holy Nest of Angels
Items: Valiant Guard, Valiant Mail, Angel Armband
Monsters: Soulmaster, Hell-servant, Rock-demon
This floor is quite small, but the random encounters are basically all
boss monsters that no other boss monster can possibly match up to. Keep
your party well equipped and ready, and be sure to grab the Valiant Guard
and Valiant Mail from the chests on this floor. There are two switches to
hit, so be sure you smack them both (one on either side of the main hall)
before you try to open the central door. Once you enter, you'll be
face-to-face with the second-hardest optional boss in the game, Gabrie
Celeste.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
BOSS: Gabrie Celeste Exp.: 10,000,000 Fol: 5,000,000
HP: 1,000,000 Resistance: All elements Difficulty: Insane
Items: Holy Sword Farwell
Special Reward: Silver Trumpet
Reccomended Party: 3 heavy fighters and Rena Suggested Level: 170-255
Strategy: Gabrie is the fastest spell-caster in the game, and never fails
to pull off Motormouth. She can't be peeped, and she moves faster than
Bunny Shoes make you move (when she does move). Her attacks can do
anywhere from a few hundred to 9999 damage (depending on type and target's
defense). Have Rena set to aid allies, and have your two fighters
(preferrably Dias/Ashton for close range and Precis/Opera for long range)
set to use all of their MP. Control Claude, and slash the boss with the
Levantine Sword. Don't bother with killer moves, the boss blocks most of
them; just focus on striking her hard and fast. I found her to be quite
easy, myself, but I DID beat her in Earth Mode, so that may be why.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
After defeating the boss, go claim your prize (an Angel Armband), and give
it to Claude. Don't use a Go Home Frog to escape, though. Now you can go
to any floor in the dungeon without random encounters! The damage effect
on the 10th floor is also gone. The two escape points also don't function
during this period. These bonuses only last until you leave, though, so
pick up every treasure you might have missed on your previous trips down.
Fun City [SQFUNCITY]
---==
Fun City is what you might call an easter egg. There are an amazing
number of things you can do here, from leveling up party members to getting
rare cooking ingredients. You can also get back to Expel from here, once
you save your game at the last save point in Feinal. Just talk to the old
man standing on the far side of the Battle Stadium (he's wearing a green
hat), and tell him that you do want him to revive your memories.
Now, for an overview of your options here...
BATTLE STADIUM: This place rules. You can level up your characters quick
here, and even win valuable items and Fol. I highly recommend you beat the
Survival Challenge when you can survive it, as it will net you the Fortune
(an accessory that gives you items while walking when worn).
BUNNY RACES: The bunny races are a great way to get more Bunny Shoes, and
possibly other prizes as well. I found that it's best to constantly bet on
the item you want, and not worry about betting on what seems to be the most
likely winning combo. Winning something you want eventually is better than
not standing a chance of ever winning at all, if you get my drift.
COOKING MASTER: This is tough, to say the least. If you start failing even
a little bit, you're basically screwed. But if you DO win, you can get
very rare cooking ingredients. The Beret and All-Purpose Knife seem to
help in this contest. The best strategy for this contest is to cook up
some dishes with common ingredients first, and then switch to the rarer
ingredients once your Press(ure) is down to about 10 or lower.
Making Quick Money [SQMONEY]
---==
Money is tough to come by in Star Ocean 2, there's no question about that.
Near the end of the game, you can get some great items for prices that go
up to about 10 million Fol. Given that there are probably all of five
monsters that drop more than 50,000 Fol during the course of the game
(not counting boss monsters and Cave of Trial monsters), you're pretty much
left struggling with other means to get cash. Here are a few methods I've
figured out to make big bucks for small investments. Using Orchestra for
any of these is optional, but recommended for the first three.
METHOD #1: Marvel Swords
ITEMS NEEDED: Marvel Sword x1, Magical Film x20, Spectacles x2,
Magical Camera (or Ririca) x1
SKILLS NEEDED: Reproduction
SUPER SPECIALTIES NEEDED: Identify All!
WHAT TO DO: Simple, simple, simple. Organize items according to value,
then choose to perform Reproduction. The Marvel Sword should be at the top
of the list. Just attempt to reproduce it 20 times. Even if you fail 19
out of 20 times, it will still be a profitable effort. Since you can get a
Marvel Sword early on from a Treasure Chest item, this can be a great way
to make large quantities of FOL early in the game. Of course, if you don't
have a Marvel Sword, you're out of luck. Obviously, you should use
Identify All! to raise the price while selling the swords, and lower the
price while buying more film (and more Spectacles).
METHOD #2: Sage's Stones
ITEMS NEEDED: Iron x20, Spectacles x20, Conductor's Baton x20,
Lezard's Flask x1, Erlenmeyer Flask x1 (optional)
SKILLS NEEDED: Alchemy (Lv 8+), Identify
SUPER SPECIALTIES NEEDED: Identify All!
WHAT TO DO: Start up the orchestra, and quickly go into the Alchemy option.
Have your budding alchemist try to make Sage's Stones, and they should be
succeeding 75-100% of the time (depending on level and talents present).
The stones can be sold for a hefty 80,000 Fol with Identify All! used to
raise prices in shops. All that for a few 100 Fol pieces of iron. Not
bad, huh?
METHOD #3: Pallas Athenas
ITEMS NEEDED: Iron x20, Spectacles x20, Conductor's Baton x20,
Lezard's Flask x1, Erlenmeyer Flask x1 (optional), Smith's Hammer x20,
Magical Rasp x1
SKILLS NEEDED: Alchemy (Lv 10), Identify
SUPER SPECIALTIES NEEDED: Blacksmith (Lv 10), Identify All!
WHAT TO DO: This method requires more effort, but nets you far more cash.
Using Orchestra and Alchemy, make yourself a large amount of Mithril.
Then, use Orchestra and Blacksmith to turn that Mithril into Pallas Athena
shields (with the help of the Magical Rasp, of course). These shields are
the most valuable piece of armor you can forge outside of Ishtar's Robe,
and sell for 416,000 Fol with Identify All!'s raise price function. The
initial price of this method is higher, but the end result is far more
valuable than the first two methods.
METHOD #4: Valiant Guards
ITEMS NEEDED: Silver Trumpet, Conductor's Baton x20
SKILLS NEEDED: Musical Talent (Lv 7 exactly)
WHAT TO DO: Have an ally with level 7 Musical Talent summon a monster via
The Evil Melody. You'll face off the 10th floor boss of the Cave of
Trials, Geo Guardian. Defeating this mech always nets you a Valiant Guard,
worth 7,840,000 Fol with prices increased. You can summon him as many
times as you want (so long as Musical Talent remains at 7), so you can make
a lot of money very fast with this method. You DO have to defeat Gabrie
Celesta to be able to even do this, though, so it's not very helpful.
Immortality Methods [SQIMMORTAL]
---==
The one thing everybody wants: the ability to be undefeatable! There are
three methods I know of to do this, and all three have their drawbacks.
METHOD #1: Lunatic Ring + Peep Non on all
ADVANTAGES: Nothing hurts you, and you can't be peeped (unable to move or
act for 3 seconds).
DISADVANTAGES: Lunatic Rings break randomly when you get hit, so this is a
very unreliable method in a long boss fight. I'd go with the second
method, myself.
METHOD #2: Bloody Armor on all + Noel w/ a Million Staff
ADVANTAGES: You are literally completely immortal while wearing Bloody
Armor, but the downside is that you lose 1 HP per millisecond, meaning that
you'll die after about 10 seconds with 9999 HP. That's where Noel comes
in. He can equip Bloody Armor (as can most male characters), so you can
control him, and have him use Fairy Light whenever your party is getting
down there in the HP department. Be sure to turn of Parry for Noel, or he
may inadvertantly doom the party by blocking an attack while trying to heal
everybody.
DISADVANTAGES: Fairy Light costs a lot of MP. You can alleviate this
problem with a Fairy Ring and Mental Ring equipped on your healer (highly
recommended). Also, be sure to have 20 Blackberries handy at all times.
This method is superbly effective for facing off Gabrie Celesta and Iselia-
Queen. I've beaten the harder of the two (Iselia-Queen, that is) dozens
times with this method, and had swimmingly good results every time. One
final disadvantage: only fighter-type characters can take advantage of this
method (sorry, Rena!). Even so, three allies in Bloody Armor take the
brunt of Iselia-Queen's attacks, so you can still pull it off with Rena in
the party as your healer.
METHOD #3: Bloody Armor on all + Opera w/ max proficiency Healing Star
ADVANTAGES: Same as method #2, along with the fact that Healing Star uses
only 9MP per shot. Throw in a Fairy Ring on Opera, and you practically
have infinite healing (a maximum of 249 shots of Healing Star before your
MP runs out; far more than you'll need for any given fight).
DISADVANTAGES: Again, only certain characters can equip Bloody Armor. The
ones who cannot will have a harder time. Also, getting 999 proficiency for
Healing Star can take a while, though it's well worth it. Obviously, you
cannot use this method if you pick Ashton instead of Opera.

IV. Special Guides
=-=-=
There are a lot of options and functions in Star Ocean 2. The number of
possible combinations and effects that you can achieve can almost be
overwhelming at times. But this section is here to set things right for
you, and tell you just what you can get while making things with Item
Creation.
Item List [SGITEMS]
===--
While not all items can be made custom, some are a bit obscure in their
function, given the unhelpful nature of the item descriptions. This is a
rather nice guide for those seeking knowledge of what items do.
Item Types
There's several types of items in SO2, each with varying functions. Here
is your obligatory overview.
Healing - Items used for healing allies' HP, MP, and status in or out of
battle. This also includes some ally-damaging items. They're all one-time
items.
Food - Items made with cooking skills. These are mostly HP/MP-restoring
items, and none work in battle. All one-time.
Book - Books used to teach skills or modify relationships. All one-time.
Special - Items which have special effects, but can't be used in battle.
All one-time.
Support - Items in this category are used to aid with item creation, or
are one-time item creation materials.
Other - Items that have no function whatsoever on thier own, and can't be
used for anything (save being sold).
Junk - Failed item creation items, these serve no purpose whatsoever.
Battle - Items used in battle to cause damage or effects to the enemy. As
well, this includes ally-aiding items that only work in battle. All
one-time.
Card - Special items, several of which have special effects. All one-time.
Weapon - Weapons are what characters can equip to attack enemies.
Shield - Shields raise defense and avoidance ratings.
Armor - Armor raises character defense (which should be obvious).
Helm - Helmets add to character defense, as well.
Greaves - Greaves raise defense, and sometimes other stats.
Mineral - Minerals can be worn as accessories, or made into items.
Accs. - Accessories have a multitude of special effects.
Story - These items are the ones listed under Precious Items. They can't
be used, but may have an effect nonetheless.

Customizing Guide [SGCUSTOM]
===--
The ability to modify weapons and make new weapons is quite handy, seeing
as many of the most powerful equippable items are impossible to purchase.
A NOTE ON NON-LISTED COMBOS: Most weapons, when customized in a manner that
doesn't have a pre-determined output, will produce one of about five
weapons (all pre-determined) that the character can wield (or a failure
weapon, of course). With the orchestra playing, you'll most likely get a
fairly powerful weapon for the character doing this (listed as "All invalid
combinations (rare)" below).
A * indicates that you practicaly need a Magical Rasp for this to succeed.

Compounding Guide [SGCOMPND]
===--
Compounding is probably one of the more simple abilities that still
requires a bit of guidance. The basic idea is that you can mix two regular
herbs (Aceras, Mandrake, Wolfsbane, etc.) to gain a new medicine, usually
more helpful than the herbs themselves were.
Below is a chart of the various combinations possible, and their effects.
Note that reversing their order has no effect.

Blacksmithing Guide [SGBLACKSM]
===--
Blacksmithing is a good way to make lots of decent armor without having to
pay obscene prices for it in shops. Later on, it becomes a good source of
profit, as you can turn fairly inexpensive pieces of metal into very
valuable pieces of armor.
The Magical Rasp is a very special item when using the Blacksmith Super
Specialty, as it gives you the ability to forge an entirely new set of
armor for each ore.
Without Magical Rasp:
Metal Ore Armors
Iron Knight Shield, Plate Greaves, Ring Mail, Plate Helm,
Banded Helm
Orichalcum Neo Greaves, Barrier Shield, Barrier Armor, Hermit's Hat,
Rare Gauntlets
Damascus Chaos Mail, Bloody Armor, Bloody Helm, Core Plate
Moonite Jeanne's Helm, Witch Boots, Jeanne's Shield, Jeanne's Armor
Mithril Mithril Coat, Mithril Dress, Mithril Shield, Mithril Mesh
Meteorite Star Greaves, Star Guard, Star Cloak, Star Necklace
Rune Metal Rune Shoes, Wizard Hat, Wizard Mail, Rune Buckler
With Magical Rasp:
Metal Ore Armors
Iron All-Purpose Knife, Plate Mail
Orichalcum Odin's Helm, Reflective Armor
Damascus Duel Suit, Algol, Duel Helm
Moonite Ishtar's Robe, Isis Tiara, The Armband of Kali
Mithril Pallas Athena
Meteorite Sylvan Helm, Sylvan Boots, Sylvan Mail
Rune Metal Mirage Robe, Flying Hawk Robes
Metalwork Guide [SGMETALWK]
===--
Metalwork is a very special ability, as not all characters can make all
items possible in Metalwork. This list tells what each metal ore can be
turned into, as well as who can make each item type. Each character can
make four items per material, with some exceptions (Sapphire, especially).

* Trystan: For helping me out in remembering all of the monsters summoned
