[WDGN] Who is Divinegon?
Divinegon is the godly Dragon that awaits you at the summit of Zenith.
He can only be accessed after you beat the game and receive the title
"Loto" for your Hero. You can get to Zenith by going to the Dragon
Queen's castle and walking into the light at the northern part of the
castle. Once you reach the summit, Divinegon challenges you to a fight
to test your strength and he promises to grant you a wish if you can
beat him in a certain amount of turns. The wishes that are available
are: a new Pachisi track in Zipangu, a revival, and the Naughty Book.
The Naughty Book gives a male character the Lewd Personality and a
female character the Sexy Personality. These are probably the best
Personalities in the game. The Pachisi track and revival can only be
wished for once but you can get multiple Naughty Books if you continue
to beat Divinegon. You must beat him in 35 turns or less in your first
fight against him to qualify for a wish. After you get your wish and
decide to fight him again, the turn limit becomes restricted to 25 turns
or less and for the third time, if you are successful, it becomes
restricted to 15 turns or less. The turn limit does not get restricted
any further if you continue to beat him. This FAQ will act as a guide to
prepare your party for the battle. My suggested strategy can beat
Divinegon in 15 turns or less on a consistent basis.
***********************************************************************
***********************************************************************
[YPRT] Your Party.
The Hero is highly recommended for this battle since Lightning and
HealUsAll are very useful spells against Divinegon. Since the Hero is
probably the highest level character you have, you don't need to do much
prep work for him or her.
Your other three characters can be anyone except for the Jester class
because they will not listen to all your commands. I prefer Thieves but
you can make these three characters almost anyone you want since Seed
farming is pretty easy in this game. The requirements for your three
characters are as follows: 500 HP, over 200 MP, Awaken, HealAll, and
Blazemost. Create a Jester at Ruida's Tavern and change that Jester
into a Sage once he or she reaches level 20, then once you learn
Revive (just in case someone dies) you can change into your final
class at Dharma Temple. This is the quickest way to meet the spell
requirements. Please be aware that if you plan on using characters that
have no natural MP growth like a Warrior or Fighter, then you will need
to max out someone’s Wisdom stat before your final class change so you
can have over 200 MP as your base. Choose good Personalities for your
characters so you won't have to farm as many Seeds to make up for their
weak points. If you haven't been collecting the Personality books,
don't worry as you can buy Brave Books at Domdora. This will give you a
pretty good Personality: Fearless.
***********************************************************************
***********************************************************************
[PSAN] Purpose of the Seeds and Nuts.
Max out the Stamina stat for everyone so you'll have the benefit of
having high HP for each character.
Life Nuts should be farmed after you have maxed out the Stamina stat for
everyone. Give yourself a little over 510 HP for each character.
Do not bother farming for Mystic Nuts as only BaraEvils drop them in the
bonus dungeon. Instead, farm Wisdom Seeds so that you can boost your
Wisdom stat. With every Wisdom stat increase, you gain extra MP on the
next level up. 255 Wisdom will net you 500 MP. Farming Wisdom Seeds can
take a very long time because many characters have a relatively low Wisdom
stat. However, some characters that have MP growth will have a sufficient
amount of MP for Divinegon by the time they reach level 40 but the Hero
is different. He has a pitiful Wisdom stat and his MP will be too low
which will put you at a disadvantage because you won't be able to
utilize Lightning and HealUsAll to their fullest extent. You don't have
to max out everyone's Wisdom stat but you should max out the Hero's so
you don't have to worry about running out of MP. A high Wisdom stat does
not make your spells stronger.
Strength Seeds are not necessary to farm if you have maxed out your Hero's
Wisdom stat.
If your party consists of Thieves, then they will max out their Agility
stat naturally. If you have a Starry Ring equipped on your Hero, then you
do not need to farm Agility Seeds for him either.
Luck Seeds are another stat that you do not need to worry about much. If
you are farming Life Nuts, you will most likely inadvertently farm some
Luck Seeds.
The bare minimum:
1) Max out everyone's Stamina stat.
2) Max out the Hero's Wisdom stat.
3) Max out the Hero's Agility stat if you gave the spirit the wrong answer
and did not get the Starry Ring at Isis Castle.
***********************************************************************
***********************************************************************
[SFRM] Seed Farming Locations.
When you are farming for Seeds, bring three Thieves along with you.
Even if you don't plan to bring any Thieves into your final party, create
three of them and get them to decent levels so they can at least survive
most battles. Equip your Hero with a boomerang so he can end most of the
battles quickly. Having three Thieves in your party will greatly increase
your chances of enemy drops.
Life Nuts and Luck Seeds: Go to the forests a little north of Samanosa
Castle. Kongs appear here frequently and will drop them. If you go a little
further north in the grassy plains area you can farm Luck Seeds from the
Shamen and you'll also be able to find some Kongs here.
Mystic Nuts: BaraEvils on the last levels before fighting Divinegon. Don't
bother with this as these battles take too long, work on farming Wisdom
Seeds instead.
Strength Seeds: The shrine that is located across from Zipangu. Bruins are
a very common enemy around the shrine and they drop Strength Seeds.
Stamina Seeds: In the swamp lands near Zoma's Castle. When making your
way towards Zoma's castle from Rimuldar, cast Stepguard before you reach
the first poison swamp on the new continent. Green Dragons are fairly
common in the swamp area and they drop Stamina Seeds.
Agility Seeds: Darth Bears drop them. You can encounter them in the
Rimuldar area or on the 5th floor of Rubiss Tower near Kol. Most people
do their levelling up around these areas because Metababbles are common
in both places.
Wisdom Seeds: First floor of Garuda Tower near Dharma Temple. Great Beak
drops them and the north western spot next to the stairs on the first
floor of the tower is a great place to farm them.
***********************************************************************
***********************************************************************
[EQPT] Equipment.
The weapons for your party don't matter at all since they will be
casting spells for the whole fight.
Armours are pretty important, especially the ones that reduce the damage
from breath attacks like the Dragon Robe, Dragon Mail, and Dragon Shield.
The Dragon Mail can be bought in Domdora, the Dragon Shield can be bought
in Rimuldar, and the Dragon Robe can be bought in the shop on Kol's
Pachisi track. The Fighter, Dealer, and Jester cannot equip the Dragon
equipment so they will take more damage in the Divinegon fight. If your
Hero has the Light Armour (or Mystery Bolero), Hero Shield, and Great Helm,
then he will take reduced damage from breath attacks and won't require any
Dragon equipment. The Warrior should only equip the Dragon Shield because
there are stronger armours than the Dragon Armour available like the Blade
Armour in Kol. I must also caution against using a male Dealer as your
final class since his defensive gear isn't great. If you must use a Dealer,
then make sure she is a female so she can atleast equip the Magic or
Sacred Bikini.
Another farming tip: The female only equipment is pretty powerful and
certain armours like the Bikinis can be equipped by any class. The Magic
Bikini is a great armour to have even at the end of the game but it cannot
be bought. However, you can farm Magic Bikinis from the Merkings in the
ocean. A good place to find them is by warping to Ludatorm and sailing
around the water to the west of the town.
If your Hero doesn't have max Agility, then equip him with the Starry
Ring. The accessories for everybody else aren't important.
If for some reason you are finding that your Hero is running out of MP
even with max Wisdom, then wish for the final Pachisi track from
Divinegon as your first wish. Beat this Pachisi track and claim the
grand prizes: the Mystery Bolero and Goddess Ring. Equip the Mystery
Bolero onto the Hero and his MP consumption will be halved. Now you
won't run out of MP during the Divinegon fight.
***********************************************************************
***********************************************************************
[TUPM] The Ultimate Party Member.
If you want to create the ultimate character with every single ability
in the game, then begin with a Dealer and class change at level 20 into
a Jester. Then level the Jester to 20 and class change into a Sage. Now,
learn all of the Sage's spells (check your Info to make sure there are
no spaces missing) and once you have everything do the final class change
into a Thief. Around level 20, you will have every skill learned and
since you are a Thief you will be able to steal items after some battles.
This is a better exclusive skill than the Dealer's skill that gives you
some extra money after some battles. The Thief has a good assortment of
weapons (light Swords and Claws) and Defensive gear (Dragon Shield and
Dark Outfit). You can also max out all of your stats if you want to make
him or her the perfect character.
***********************************************************************
***********************************************************************
[SDGN] The Strategy for Divinegon.
1) Have the Hero use HealUsAll everytime the majority of your party's
HP drops below 270. Cast Lightning when you aren't healing with the Hero.
If only one character's HP is below 270, have that character cast HealAll
on himself or herself instead of wasting a HealUsAll. If the Hero has max
Wisdom, then he shouldn't run out of MP for this battle, even without the
Mystery Bolero.
2) Keep casting Blazemost with your remaining three party members. Have
one person cast Awaken as soon as Divinegon puts someone to sleep. Your
other three characters will not run out of magic for this battle if they
at least have 200 MP.
3) Do not cast stat boosting spells like Increase, Barrier, or Speed Up
since Divinegon will nullify their effects every now and then and you'll
have to recast them. If your three other party members have Dragon
equipment then Divinegon's breath attacks won't do a lot of damage. Even
if some of your characters cannot equip the Dragon equipment, like the
Dealer and Fighter, then farm a some more Life Nuts for them to offset
the damage they will take during breath attacks.
4) If Divinegon doesn't put too many people to sleep during this battle
and if he doesn't put the Hero to sleep during a crucial moment when you
need to use HealUsAll, then you should be able to beat him in 15 turns or
less every time.
