============================================================================= GETTING ZIRCON ============================================================================= Monsters: Items/Treasure: Misc: -Zircon (E) -Go to the Lezareno Company building in Altamira. Talk to George in the President's Office and go to 2F. There will be a scene. -Leave Altamira and go to Sybak. -Go into the university and into the hallway to the right. The treasure in the first door is Zircon. ============================================================================= SE ABBEY - TOWER OF SALVATION (2) [Getting Mana Fragment] ============================================================================= Monsters: Items/Treasure: Misc: -Southeast Abbey is where its name would suggest. Go upstairs and talk to Seles. If the guards don't let you in, it's because you forgot one of the other ingredients for the cure. Like the characters said, the Mana Fragment should be last. Scroll up to see what you're missing. [seabbey01.jpg] -Now that Zelos has his Cruxis Crystal, you can go to the Tower of Salvation. You should have no trouble finding it. Walk into it. -Boss: Kratos (Spoiler)[color=#34B3DC][b][u]Boss:[/u] Celsius[/b][/color] [b]HP:[/b] / [b]TP:[/b] [b]Item Drop:[/b] / [b]Steal:[/b] [b]Strength:[/b] / [b]Weakness:[/b] [color=#34B3DC]Bowman[/color] [b]HP:[/b] / [b]TP:[/b] [b]Drop:[/b] / [b]Steal:[/b] [b]Strength:[/b] / [b]Weakness:[/b] [b]Gald:[/b] / [b]EXP:[/b] [b]Suggested Level:[/b] [b]Suggested Strategy:[/b] HP: / TP: Gald: / EXP: Drop: / Steal: Suggested Level: Suggested Strategy: Again, you don't have to beat him, but he's easier than the first time. I just had one fighter, equipped with good defense stuff (especially for lightning), stand in front of him and guard to distract him while two others beat on him and Raine healed. ============================================================================= WELGAIA (1) ============================================================================= Monsters: Items/Treasure: Misc: (none) -Apocalypse -Mana Fragment (E) -After escaping from jail, use the warp to the left. Have Colette move the boxes. -Once you're wandering Welgaia freely, you can go to the big building in front of you, where there is a Devil's Arm in a first floor room. (If you haven't started the Devil's Arms quest, don't worry. You can come back to this city.) There's nothing in the rest of the building except NPCs to speak to. -Go in the building on the right and talk to the armored angel within for a Mana Fragment. -Outside, go up the conveyor belt tunnel on the left. You can go look at the giant warp if you want. Go to the right. -You can buy stuff and rest in this area, but you need to examine the computer at the far end and read its info to continue. -After doing that, exit with the warp south of that. -Now you have to WALK all the way down the Tower of Salvation. :D ============================================================================= TOWER OF SALVATION: WELGAIA ESCAPE ROUTE ============================================================================= Monsters: Items/Treasure: Misc: -Hammer Knuckle -EX Gem Lv3 (none) -Murder -EX Gem Lv3 -Perfect Murder -Holy Robe -Cybit -Nagazuki -YGGDRASILL (E) -Laser Blade -Ex Gem Lv4 -Rare Guard -Energy Tablets -Holy Circlet -Ex Gem Lv2 -Elevator Key (E) -Every enemy here except the Cybits have some rare customization materials to steal. You won't be able to get back in this area after you leave, so don't miss any treasures. Treasures look like this, by the way: [welgaiaescape01.jpg] -Here's a map. Sorry about the unconnected hallways; just follow the letters. [welgaiaescape02.gif] -After going down down the stairs, go left until you can go down. Turn right when you can and go in the door. You're now in an annoying slide puzzle. The hardest part about this is realizing where the door is so you know where the heck you're supposed to be going! Look for the orange lights along the wall. Here's a map: [welgaiaescape03.gif] -Once you're through, examine the red thing to disengage the Red Gate Lock, which opens the... green... gates [insert sweatdrop here]. -Go back through the Anti-Gravity Room. Once you're in a normal room again, you can go down for a Rare Guard. -Go back up, left, up, and right so that you're back near the entrance. Now go up and left all the way to the left (there are nice treasures along the way). Go up and you will see the switch to get rid of the blue gates. -Go back to the Anti-Gravity Area. You'll now take a different route. Use the lift marked "G". Then in door "H". [welgaiaescape04.gif] -There's Energy Tablets in this hallway. Go around to take the other exit back into the Anti-Gravity Area. [welgaiaescape05.gif] -Now you can get the Elevator Key (and a Holy Circlet). It looks less fancy than some of the other useless decorations in this place, so don't miss it. -Now go back out ad use the elevator. From the exit of the Anti-Gravity Area, the elevator is left, up, right (near the entrance), up, right. -Follow the path from the elevator to warp back to the Final Seal. -Boss: Yggdrasill You can't win, but you can't lose either. You need to survive until the battle cuts off automatically. ============================================================================= ALTESSA's HOUSE (?) - FLANOIR (2) ============================================================================= Monsters: Items/Treasure: Misc: -Angel Swordian (E) -Angel Commander (E) -You're taken straight to Altessa's, so save if you want and go inside. There will be a big scene. Afterwards, you'll fight some angels. -Talk to everyone to continue. -In Flanoir, go find Zelos, and the doctor is in the building nearby. -The four characters with the lowest Affection (besides Kratos) will leave with the doctor. The other three and Kratos will come to Lloyd's room in the order that they like you most. Who you go outside with affects some major scenes for the rest of the game. -If you want Kratos to rejoin your party later, go outside with him. (This will make Zelos leave the party.) -After this big scene, there are a few more sidequests open. When you're ready, go to the Tower of Salvation. ============================================================================= TOWER OF SALVATION UNDERGROUND ============================================================================= Monsters: Items/Treasure: Misc: -Angel Swordian (E) 1.

Star Shield *Depends on scene in Flanoir (E) Mandatory Event CAP Boss # Area in which you'll find the item -Remember you can't reenter this dungeon after you leave. -Zelos and Colette will leave your party for a while. Which boss fight you have here depends on who you went outside with in Flanoir. -If you went outside with anyone but Kratos.... -Boss: Gatekeeper Angel Swordian x2 Gald: 9640[color=#34B3DC][b][u]Boss:[/u] Celsius[/b][/color] [b]HP:[/b] / [b]TP:[/b] [b]Item Drop:[/b] / [b]Steal:[/b] [b]Strength:[/b] / [b]Weakness:[/b] [color=#34B3DC]Bowman[/color] [b]HP:[/b] / [b]TP:[/b] [b]Drop:[/b] / [b]Steal:[/b] [b]Strength:[/b] / [b]Weakness:[/b] [b]Gald:[/b] / [b]EXP:[/b] [b]Suggested Level:[/b] [b]Suggested Strategy:[/b] -They're really easy.

[towerofsalvation01.gif] -After you warp to the plant-filled area, go up/right. Use the Sorcerer's Ring on the tree branch in your way. -Jump onto the seesaw-like chunk of floor. There will be a quick scene explaining that you have to drop that big rock on the seesaw. Grab the treasure and take the stairs back up. Jump on the seesaw and instead of jumping down, walk across it to get down the other side. -Go through the door and go down (south). Follow the path until you can go to the right by burning a branch thrice. Get treasures with Hanumann's Staff, Ogre Axe, and Southern Cross. -Go out of that room and continue along the path until you go up some stairs. You will find more stairs nearby; go up them. When you come to a larger room, go to the lower left for a Heavanly Robe. Go to the right to continue. -Go down (south) and continue until you can go left for Star Mail and EX Gem Lv4. Go back and left to continue. Follow the path, and you'll be in the room with the seesaw and rock. Burn the branches on the rock thrice and it'll fall. -After that's done, backtrack (out, right, up, left, up, left, down the stairs). Go to the lower left where you can push the switch to open the door. Follow the path and you'll end up near the entrance again. -Take the upper-right path to get back to the room with the seesaw. Go down the stairs and jump up near the rock. Go right, and the rock will allow you to get off at the middle level. Go up the stairs to the warp. [towerofsalvation02.gif] -There will be a scene, and you will end up in Area 2, pictured above. You can just go straight to the next area or go to either side for treasure and a vending machine. Shaman's Dress is Sheena's best armor (arguably), so I wouldn't miss it. :3 -Scene. [towerofsalvation03.gif] -They start hiding treasures behind rubble where you can't see them. >:( -Follow the path to the next warp. You'll have a scene and some event battles with Evil Orchids. [towerofsalvation04.gif] -Follow the map. There's a save point (red star) if you want to take a detour. [towerofsalvation05.gif] -Follow the map. After you warp, there are two chests (EX Gem Lv2 and Star Bracelet) which aren't mapped. Don't go up the middle path until you're ready to continue. [towerofsalvation06.gif] -Again, follow the map. -When you get to the next area, just go foward. Save if you want, and examine the sword in the wall. It's time for two boss fights in a row! Fun! -Boss: Pronyma Idun x2 Strategy: If Genis has Prism Sword, you might consider using him here, but I wouldn't otherwise. Sheena's handy because she can use S. Seal: Light and Summon: Light. Definately use Raine for her Light spells if not her healing. Equip one of your front line fighters with Topaz. Equip Raine with Amethyst, and equip the other characters with stuff that gives defense to Dark, Water, or Light too. Cook before battle. :) Pronyma uses a lot of the same spells as before. Instead of Aqua Laser, she uses Spread, which is easier to dodge. ^_^ She also has Prism Sword, which isn't too hard to dodge either. Take out the dumb flunkies first and then just beat on her. If you're low on items and having a hard time, use both Raine and Sheena to make up for a lack of Life Bottles. -Boss: Yggdrasill Gald: 4800 You actually have to win this time. :p If you want to use Kratos/Zelos, make sure he's not using the Laser Blade he comes back with unless you want to give him the Amethyst. Either way, someone should have the Amethyst, and Raine should have Topaz. Give the other characters Light defense if possible. As said above, if you're low on items and having a hard time, use both Raine and Sheena to make up for a lack of Life Bottles, plus Kratos/Zelos for healing. Sheena is good anyway, for T. Seal: Darkness and because the Shaman's Dress you got for her earlier in this dungeon has great Light defense. If you don't want to use her, remember that you probably have tons of Black Quartz. Death Eater is like a mini-insta-Judgment. There's not much you can do to effect whether or not it hits you, so just endure. Ground Dasher is easy enough to dodge. You might have to jump to get away from the edge if it was aimed at your character. You can dodge Thunder Arrow. Push X when he uses Outburst so you can land on your feet. ============================================================================= HEIMDALL (2) - TORENT FOREST - DIRK'S HOUSE (?) ============================================================================= Monsters: Items/Treasure: Misc: -Man-eater -Material Blade (E) -Torent -Eternal Ring (E) -Alraune -Sheldra -Carnivorous Plant -SPOILER BOSS (E) -ORIGIN (E) -Your characters will split up when you get into Heimdall. When you're ready, go to the inn. After the scene, go talk to the Elf Elder to the left of the inn. -When you enter the forest, you'll see a bushbaby. The object of this forest is to burn the bushbaby so that it'll run off, and then you can follow it to the correct path. If you go the wrong way, you end up on the other side of the same screen. -Instead of a headache of directions, here's a map: [torentforest01.gif] Click to enlarge. -You have two boss fights in a row again, but they're easier this time. -Boss: Kratos (Spoiler)[color=#34B3DC][b][u]Boss:[/u] Celsius[/b][/color] [b]HP:[/b] / [b]TP:[/b] [b]Item Drop:[/b] / [b]Steal:[/b] [b]Strength:[/b] / [b]Weakness:[/b] [color=#34B3DC]Bowman[/color] [b]HP:[/b] / [b]TP:[/b] [b]Drop:[/b] / [b]Steal:[/b] [b]Strength:[/b] / [b]Weakness:[/b] [b]Gald:[/b] / [b]EXP:[/b] [b]Suggested Level:[/b] [b]Suggested Strategy:[/b] -Strategy: Wear a Thunder Cape so you have defense against Lightning and Wind, but you should be able to dodge Thunder Blade and Air Thrust (and Grave) easily anyway. -Boss: Origin[color=#34B3DC][b][u]Boss:[/u] Celsius[/b][/color] [b]HP:[/b] / [b]TP:[/b] [b]Item Drop:[/b] / [b]Steal:[/b] [b]Strength:[/b] / [b]Weakness:[/b] [color=#34B3DC]Bowman[/color] [b]HP:[/b] / [b]TP:[/b] [b]Drop:[/b] / [b]Steal:[/b] [b]Strength:[/b] / [b]Weakness:[/b] [b]Gald:[/b] / [b]EXP:[/b] [b]Suggested Level:[/b] [b]Suggested Strategy:[/b] -Gald 9870 -Get three (or four) fighters and just beat on him till he's down. He casts spells so fast that you can't really prepare for them, so they're hard to dodge. :/ Watch out for Rameesh. -You'll temporarily lose a party member after the fight. -You have to save two elves and the Elf Elder to leave.
