Contrary to popular belief, it is actually possible to retrieve one
of the two treasure boxes destroyed by the Kyau in Lacrymas second battle.
But be warned, it is very difficult! (You probably will have to do it
from a previously beat clear game file)
What's in the box, you ask? Oh... not much. Just a few silk, mythril, and
world tree Kartia. The actual number? For each... um... 99!!! Its really
worth the trouble, yeah?
There are three vital factors to this trick: placement, Kyau, and LUCK!
First of all, you're going to need a fast phantom to reach it. The Kyau
is the obvious choice, but a normal one will never make it. I always mix
it with Sharp and Fast text. Make at least two other Kyau, or even make
all six of your phantoms Kyau, they should be fast as well. They will be
used as fodder. ^_^
Here's the one setup I got to work:
Place the fast Phantom in the far-most upper right corner. To its left
put Lacryma, and below her put Troy. Place all other characters and
phantoms as far to the top-right as possible, except maybe one on the
bottom to collect the treasure there.
When the battle begins, place Lacryma as far to the top right as possible
and hit the Behead directly to the right of the thief with your strongest
fire attack. Next, have Troy come behind her and do the same. The should
both mix their fire spells for strength, but Troy MUST mix to increase
range far enough to reach.
This should have destroyed the Behead. If your spells were not strong
enough or one missed, retry the battle. Place the fast Kyau from the
corner into the place the Behead was standing.
Now here is where it gets tricky. The reason for that is because simply
getting the Kyau there isn't enough, he will get nailed by the other
phantoms. This is where the other Kyau come in. They will act as decoys,
hopefully taking the hits for the more important one. Unfortunately, no
one strategy is a sure thing, just try to keep them between the enemies and
your important Kyau.
After the enemy phase, the thief may or may not have gotten in your way.
If he has, you can still go around through the second enemy Behead blocking
the way (Blockhead?) but he is harder to beat in one turn than the first.
That is what happened to me: after using Lacryma and Troy against him he
still had 4HP and I had to use one of my injured Kyau, doing only 4HP of
damage, of course, to beat him!
If you do all of this in the first turn, your Kyau should be just within
reach of the lower chest, the one above it having already been destroyed.
Just go ahead and have him collect your MASSIVE prize.
Good Luck!!!
