///////////1)INTRODUCTION/////////////
//////////////////////////////////////

Hey there GameFAQ-people! You are now reading my very first Guide
that concerns itself with the Stealing Ability of the RPG Radiant
Historia for the NDS made by Atlus. I wrote this guide because I
think stealing is a very handy ability to get you smoothly through
the game and adds a nice twist to it and since i did not see any-
one do it before me, there you go.
Radiant Histora is a RPG with Turn-Based-Combat action and a very
unique way of fighting battles.
A FAIR WARNING HERE: THIS GUIDE CONTAINS MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS ASWELL
AS GAMEPLAY SPOILERS SO IF YOU DONT WANT TO READ ABOUT THAT, DONT
READ ON OR YOU WILL BE SORRY.
I hope you enjoy my Guide and find it somewhat useful for yourself.

//////////////////////////////////////
////////2)GENERAL INFORMATION/////////
//////////////////////////////////////

In this guide i will use some abbreviations and stuff like that
which save some space. Also i won't go into detail about the battle
system since you already bought the game and played through the
tutorial RIGHT? (IF NOT DO SO, YOU WILL BE HAPPY FOR AT LEAST A WEEK)
The little table following up is concerning the abbreviations i am
going to use in this guide:

St. = Standard History
Al. = Alternate History
St  = Stocke
Ra  = Rayne
Ma  = Marco
Ro  = Rosch
Ah  = Aht
Ga  = Gafka
Er  = Eruca
ATK = Attack Power
DEF = Defense
MAG = Magic Power
MDF = Magic Defense
SPD = Speed Rating
LUC = Luck Rating
HP  = Hit Points
MP  = Magic Points

//////////////////////////////////////
///////////3)HOW TO STEAL?////////////
//////////////////////////////////////

Stealing is a very delicate matter in this game. If you know what
you are doing, it CAN be very useful, though it is not mandatory
in any way to complete this game.
Two Characters will have the "Steal" Ability, namely Stocke
(learned at Level 23) and Aht(Initate Ability).
To Steal an item, just use that ability, and you get a chance on
stealing an item, if the enemy possesses one that is.
(Refer to the complete monster list below to know if an enemy has
an item or not). Stealing is most useful if you actually don't fight
much battles, because mostly you can get restorative items or buffing
items from most enemies and this is a really fast way to stock up
on them. Otherwise very few enemies got Equipment, mostly not that
useful, but i will refer to that in Section 5) of this guide.


//////////////////////////////////////
///////4)HOW TO IMPROVE SUCCESS///////
//////////////////////////////////////

Basically, if you want a higher probability of the stealing ability
to work, you have to ways to do so.

4a) Comboabilities and Combocounter

In battle you have a combocounter when you do a chain of attacks.
The steal ability has a higher success rate if you get that counter
up before you use it. One way to do so is of course get consecutive
turns for your characters and switching between physical and magical
abilities. There are some Comboabilities that are very useful using
for stealing for every character, the most useful you will learn by
doing the sidequest which will enable them to learn the ability.
Here is a list for every character and their abilities that are
useful for stealing:

////////////
///STOCKE///
////////////

Mostly i would focus on using Steal with him, but when you have Aht
in the party or a spare turn here are some Abilities you might wanna
consider to use:

-Double Slash(Level 21, Attack 2 Times, 10 MP)
Well i think this is selfexplanatory.

-Dead Fencer(2nd Mana Burst, Attack several Times)
If you like using it, do it but consider it does
high damage aswell.

////////////
///RAYNIE///
////////////

Not too useful a character when it comes to get your combocounter up
other than for her spells she can use. There are some that you might
wanna consider using:

-Rush (Level 25, Front Row, 12 MP)
She will attack the front row twice, which can be quite nice, but not
very often.

-Frozen Hell(2nd Mana Burst, Attack several Times)
Here goes the same as for Stocke's Mana Burst.

/////////////
////MARCO////
/////////////

Marco can actually be quite useful when it comes to get your
combocounter higher. He not only has all abilities to move the enemy
but some other nifty stuff up his sleeve:

-Trans-turn(Level 26, Choose ally to take over Turn Panel, 3 MP)
VERY VERY VERY VERY USEFUL! You can get in turns from members like
Gafka and Aht and whack them upside the hat with their massive combo
skills!

-Spin Slash(Sidequest, Attack 4 Times, 10 MP)
Very useful as a physical Attack in some situations.

/////////////
/////AHT/////
/////////////

Aht is probably the most useful, she can steal, use magical traps
which highly increase the combo counter if you move the enemy onto
them and has another very useful ability:

-Dancing Death(Sidequest, Attack 7 Times, 15 MP)
Well do the math and you know what this is doing to your enemy.

/////////////
////ROSCH////
/////////////

Rosch can be useful for moving enemies but not so much getting the
counter higher. He has one ability that is rather useful:

-Haste Mode(Sidequest, Attack Multiple Times, 15 MP)
You can learn this very late in the game, still you might consider
using it for your need.

/////////////
////GAFKA////
/////////////

He has a couple of good moves you can use and THE BEST Comboattack
IN THE GAME:

-Triple Strike(Sidequest, Attack 3 Times, 6 MP)
Well yeah....

-Musou(Sidequest, Attack Center Enemy, 10 MP)
THE BEST COMBOATTACK IN THE GAME! Only flaw: it just hits the center
of the battlefield. But we got something that will help us with
that...

-Wind God Strike(Sidequest, Attack 3 Times;Move to Center, 20 MP)
Well here you are! You can exploit "Musou" by using Wind God Strike
before and move all enemies in the Center of the battlefield! Geez!

/////////////
////ERUCA////
/////////////

Despite the fact that you can't use her most of the game she also
has some nice skills for getting your combo up and she can use magic.

-Chain Rave(Level 54, Attack 3 Times, 15 MP)
This is particulary useful because it's a magical combo attack, so
you can use it with skills like "Dancing Death" and "Musou" in order
to get the counter even higher.

-Trans-turn(Level 29, Choose ally to take over Turn Panel, 3 MP)
The same applies as with Marco.

4b) LUC-Stat Component

Also the LUC-Stat increases the probability of the enemy
dropping/stealing an item successfully. Therefore Aht is better for
stealing than Stocke since she has a high LUC-Stat to begin with,
but there are a few items for every Character that increase their
LUC-Stat, so if they participate in a combo the success-rate will
increase. I will list them here with their location-to-get:

//////6)USEFUL THINGS TO STEAL////////
//////////////////////////////////////

Across your journey and travel through time, you often want to buy
new equipment in stores, which is completly enough to complete the
game. However, there are some things and tricks on how to get good
or powerful equipment in certrain situations by stealing it form
an enemy or a boss. I will list the most useful cases right below
here, hopefully this will help along your journey. I will give you
an example on how i will be doing this:

======================================================================
REGION(History.Chapter X) ============================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:         Mr.X
Item you Want: Item X(1st or 2nd Item/What the Item does)
Description:   How to improve the chances to get it, why to get this
              item and how to use it.

Well here goes the chronological list:
(AND BY THE WAY THIS IS JUST WHAT I THINK IS USEFUL)

======================================================================
UNDERGROUND WATERWAY(St.Chapter 2) ===================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:         Blue Leech
Item you want: Celestial Tea(2nd Item/Recovers 50 MP on Party)
Description:   This is hard to get but well worth it because if you
              are fighting a lot this will help out GREATLY,
              especially in the early stages of the game.
              However, it is REALLY hard to get, I had to at LEAST
              get a combo of 15 to steal it, if you have the time,
              bother with it though, because you wont ever need to
              go rest up at an inn anymore.

======================================================================
GRANORG PALACE(St.Chapter 2) =========================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:(BOSS)   GRANORG DEFENDER
Item you want: Mail Vest(1st Item;Armor(St/Ra/Ma/Ro);DEF+22,MDF+17)
Description:   These are FAIRLY hard to get but well worth it since
              it definatley is an upgrade for everyone. You might
              skip these though because you can buy them 1 chapter
              later.

======================================================================
ALISTEL(Al.Chapter 2) ================================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:(BOSS)   SPECIAL FORCES
Item you want: Halberd(1st Item;Spear(Ro/Ra); ATK+25,DEF+5)
Description:   First item that is fairly easy to get! Just take care
              of one of them, and you should be able to get 4-5
              consecutive turns in order to steal it. It's not a huge
              upgrade for Rosch, but hey!

======================================================================
JUDGEMENT CLIFF(St.Chapter 3) ========================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:         Poison Crab
Item you want: Feather Guard(1st Item;Armor(Ga);DEF+15)
Description:   Well again, not a HUGE upgrade, but we take what we can
              get. But i would actually equip the Rabbit's Foot for
              this one, it was a pain in the ass for me to get. Also
              a combo of 20+ wouldn't be bad. But totally skipable.

======================================================================
ITOLIA WASTELANDS(St.Chapter 5) ======================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:         Ballista(Solo or the left one in the fight)
Item you want: Freikugel Kreuz(1st Item;Gun(Er);ATK+4,MAG+35,DEF-3)
Description:   This one is a toughie. Equip the Gospel Armor(+20 LUC)
              and Rabbit's Foot on Stocke and PRAY that you can pull
              this off with a combo that is 20+ (it would be best to
              use Stocke, Eruca and Marco in this fight since the
              latter can use Trans-turn so you can give Party Members
              that need it a turn). Well worth it and the Solo
              Ballista is not the only that has it.

======================================================================

ENEMY:         PALOMIDES
Item you want: Giant Armor(1st Item;Armor(St/Ra/Ma/Ro);DEF+30,MDF+40,
                         MP+30)
Description:   This one is not hard to steal but WELL worth it if you
              are using Raynie frequently, because it provides a huge
              MP Boost which she lacks in, otherwise you could also
              skip this one. Just get a combo with 15+ and you should
              be able to get this but take care of the Gardner first
              if you want this.

======================================================================
HOLFF RUINS(St.Chapter 6) ============================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:         Iron Shell
Item you want: Skull Cape(1st Item;Robe(St/Ah);DEF+32,MDF+26,SPD-2)
Description:   Here goes basically the same as with the Poison Crab
              earlier. The Skull Cape though provides great Defense,
              especially for Aht.

======================================================================
GRANORG PALACE(St.Chapter 6) =========================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:         PROTEA GUARD(Red) + PROTEA GUARD(Blue)
Item you want: Fortune Gown(1st Item;Gown(Er);DEF+15,MDF+30,LUC+20)
              Rook Stud(1st Item;Accesory(Ev);DEF+10,MDF+10)
Description:   Well since these are in the same fight you can go ahead
              and steal both at the same time! You should use Stocke
              Aht and Eruca for this fight. First get rid of the
              Heavy Granorgites, then get 10 consecutive turns, use
              Dancing Death and Mana Shot and let Stocke steal from
              both of them. You should easily get this, the Fortune
              Gown is a cool addition if you are going to farm for
              Ultimate Equipment later on since LUC also influences
              the droprate of certain items. The Rook Stud is the
              next Stud upgrade, which will be purchasable later on
              so you are missing out on nothing.

======================================================================
ABYSSIA FOREST(Al.Chapter 4) =========================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:         Grand Bear
Item you want: Master Fist(2nd Item;Fist(Ga);ATK+50,MP+30,LUC+15)
Description:   The Master Fist is a decent upgrade for Gafka at this
              point in the game although the Kenpo Masters in HOLFF
              RUINS couldve dropped this already. In any case you can
              try to steal this with 2 methods.
              1) Try to use a sleep wing/sleep skill(Ra/Ma) on it, it
              may stick and get 10 consecutive turns in order to get
              a rather high combo with whatever you want.
              2) Put Aht and Marco in your party, use Turn Break once
              after you stole his 1st Item.That should give you
              6 turns. It is very possible to get it if you go
              3x Dancing Death and 3x Steal with LUC boosting
              equipment(Gospel Armor&Rabbits Foot).

======================================================================
SAND FORTRESS(Al.Chapter 5) ==========================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:         SHADOW(Mage)
Item you want: Emperor Fist(1st Item;Fist(Ga);ATK+56,MP+40,LUC+20)
Description:   This is a slight upgrade for the Master Fist, so you
              might wanna get this, although man i gotta warn you:
              This dude is holding on to his item! You have to fight
              this battle with Stocke, Aht and Eruca and the first
              thing you wanna do is get rid of the Archer and Knight.
              You should cast Polaris at the start of the battle
              because the Mage can put you to sleep. After you got
              rid of the first two, you can whale on the Mage. I
              would recommend Transturn all of Eruca's turns to Aht
              and go with 7x Dancing Death and 3x Steal from Stocke,
              even with this I failed TWICE to get this item. If you
              dont get this though, as I said, its a slight upgrade
              so if you just want to continue with the plot,
              one nice thing though is that this boss fight is
              directly accessible through the Etherion node, no
              questions asked so you can instantly repeat this fight
              anytime. Well all I can say now is good luck!

======================================================================
GRANORG PALACE(Al.Chapter 6) =========================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:         Alistel Officer
Item you want: Glaux Dagger(2nd Item;Dagger(Ah);ATK+31,MAG+85,HP-30)
Description:   Ok this area holds ALOT of good equipment, starting
              with this enemy here. You gotta steal the first item
              (Panacea) directly and kill any other enemy off so that
              there is just 1 enemy left. Your best bet here is a
              party of Aht and Marco/Eruca (which i would recommend
              for ANY future steal) because of Aht's awesome Dancing
              Death and Marco/Eruca's Trans-turn.Regardless, you
              wanna get 10 turns as usual, combo your way up (best
              bet would be 7 Dancing Death's of course) and dont
              forget the LUC boosting stuff! If you dont get it on
              your first try, it's ok an Inn is directly around the
              corner so you shouldn't worry about your MP at all,
              just try again.

======================================================================

ENEMY:         Cannon(Always the left one)
Item you want: Freikugel Zamiel(1st Item;Gun(Er);ATK+18,MAG+75,DEF-12)
Description:   You definatley dont want to pass on this one, I can
              tell ya! The good thing is, there is an Inn next to
              Cannons you can fight here in Granorg so you should be
              to go all out at all times. Anyways, go with Stocke Aht
              and Eruca for this and start the battle by killing off
              everything except the designated Cannon(the left one).
              Now since all 3 of your characters have high MDF, the
              Cannon won't be able to hurt you much, just change
              until you get 10 consecutive turns and then get 7 for
              Aht and 3 for Stocke. Use Dancing Death 7 Times and go
              for Steal and you got yourself an overpowered Gun,
              congratulations. :)

======================================================================

ENEMY:         HEAVY THAUTOMATON
Item you want: La Tormenta(1st Item;Spear(Ra);ATK+30,MAG+60,LUC+8)
Description:   Well, best Magic Boosting Spear in the game, you wanna
              grab this one for Raynie! Though it is REALLY hard to
              do, your best bet is to use Eruca and Gafka here.
              The goal is to get a high combo on this guy and we are
              going to use the Change command for that of course.
              But this guy can summon 2 Floating Stones that will
              break your chained turns. Kill these with Heat Blade/
              Blizzard. Now you wanna have at least 8 turns in a row
              and use a turn break to get 10, because if you dont he
              is gonna screw you with his stones again.
              After you got 10 turns, use 7 turns for gafka going
              Musou and after that 3 for Stocke's Steal and you
              should be able to get this piece of equipment. If you
              do not however, which is quite possible, you will have
              to redo the Boss Battle from the "Flux War" Node, which
              is really annoying to do.

======================================================================

ENEMY:         SAPPHIRE
Item you want: Beast Claw(2nd Item;Claw(Ga);ATK+80,HP-50)
Description:   This Boss Fight has 4 Enemies, and you want to get rid
              of the GOLD and DIAS GUARDS first by getting 4 turns,
              pushing them on 1 tile(Push -> Left) and go G-Fire and
              G-Frost(this should actually be enough to kill them).
              After that, you should first steal his Guard Down Plus,
              then you should get 10 turns.
              Transturn Eruca's turns to Aht, get 3 Steals at the end
              and there you go, you should get the Beast Claw.

======================================================================

ENEMY:         VIOLA
Item you want: Vesper Ring(1st Item;Accesory(Ev);HP+30,MP+60)
Description:   Here it's best to use Stocke, Gafka and Eruca again.
              First, get rid of the Defender by using Will'o'Wisp and
              Blizzard to kill them. After that, get 10 turns in a</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
              row and well... you should know the rest but here goes:
              Trans-turn with Eruca, get 7 Musou's and 3 Steals and
              it should be yours.

======================================================================
UNDERGROUND LAB(Al.Chapter 6) ========================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:         HUGO
Item you want: Venus Ring(1st Item;Accesory(Ev);HP+70,MP+50)
Description:   For this Battle i would recommend using Aht and Gafka.
              Right off the bat cast Polaris since he can paralyse
              you with one of his abilities. Try to get ten
              consecutive turns with your party, when he summons
              reinforcements, just kill them nice and quickly. Heal
              up if you need to! When you have 10 turns, well go all
              out (Musou/Dancing Death) and 3 times Steal in the end
              and the Venus Ring is yours! Nice thing about this is
              there is a node DIRECTLY linked to this battle so its
              easy to repeat the fight if you need to.

======================================================================
IMPERIAL RUINS(Al.Final Chapter) =====================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:         HEISS
Item you want: King Stud(1st Item;Accesory(Ev);DEF+20,MDF+20)
              Shield Seed Plus(2nd Item;protects party for 2 Hits)
Description:   Well first things first, we want to have this piece of
              accesory! Use Aht and Gafka for this fight, you should
              have access to Wind God Strike by now, if not you might
              consider using Marco instead of Gafka. You should first
              kill of the Knight with traps, get 10 turns (Turn Break
              or change) and combo up with Dancing Death and Musou or
              Spin Strike. If you steal 3 times at the end of the
              combo, then you should get both items.
              The Shield Seed Plus will come in really handy at the
              final boss fight so you might want to get this aswell,
              if not I would recommend using Eruca in the final boss-
              fight.

======================================================================
ROYAL HALL(St.Final Chapter) =========================================
======================================================================

ENEMY:         VIOLA
Item you want: Shield Seed Plus(1st Item;protects party for 2 Hits)
Description:   This is the second Shield Seed Plus you can steal
              which will come in really hand at the final boss. Well
              it's easy enough to steal this item. Just do a 20+
              combo and you will be fine, you will be all set for
              the final bossfight!
