I. Introduction
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Welcome to my unofficial guide to Phantom Kingdom/Makai Kingdom, Nippon
Ichi's (NIS) latest Strategy RPG offering for the PlayStation 2. For those
of you who were wondering, Makai means Netherworld. Phantom Kingdom is not
a direct sequel to any of NIS's previous offerings, but like Disgaea and
Phantom Brave, there ARE links to previous games created by NIS.
As I complete major sections of this guide, they will be added. Future
plans include adding a thorough explanation of the Transmigration system,
how to get all the Endings, just how things are calculated in the Free
Dungeons, and a guide on how to make your characters as uber as possible.
I have tried to organize the explanation of systems to roughly parallel with
when the Tutorials should teach you information. Most of my explanation of
the battle system is integrated into the first chapter of the walkthrough.
Any areas that I felt warranted further attention got (or will get) their
own sections.
All translations are my own, though I have done my best to try to match up
item and class names with what some were in Disgaea and Phantom Brave. I
know that most of them will be changed drastically for the US release.
(Correction - they HAVE been changed drastically.) If you can think of a
better translation for some of these items, send them on by to the above
address. Otherwise, if you have the U.S. copy in your hands and see name
differences, please be patient; this guide WILL be updated to reflect those
changes. Don't e-mail me stupid stuff like "its not a Ronin, its a
Samurai!!!!!!" or suchlike. I don't care yet, even if it may be listed as
such in the Official Guide. Stuff can still change at the last minute.
In the walkthrough itself, all level information is configured as follows:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage 2.1 Clear Condition - 300/Variable
Known as: Pram's Ceremonial Stage (プラムの儀式台), Micky's Twilight
(ミッキーの黄昏), Babylon's Place of Respite (バビロン憩いの場)
Semi-Stable - Demo Beforehand
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Gauge | Initial Region - Variable PTs
1-3 Level 3 | Lv 3 Station x 1
4-7 Level 4 | Lv 3 Bomberhead x 2
8-10 Level 5 | Lv 2 Catman x 3
Items: Small Flower
Stage lists the stage number. Clear condition is listed as Minimum Points
to Clear the Stage/Maximum Possible Points. In truth, you may get a final
score higher than the max I have listed if you combo your attacks. "Known
as" lists all possible titles for the stage. From chapter 2 on, most of the
stages get different names depending on which Overlord you select at the
beginning of the chapter to reconstruct your Makai.
The final line in the upper section notes whether or not the stage set-up is
stable or not. I put Stable if there's only one possible physical
configuration for the stage, Semi-stable if there are stable elements in the
stage, Random if there's no rhyme or reason to the stage, and Stable or
Semi-Stable--->Random if the stage layout changes after you beat it once.
This line has NO bearing on whether or not the enemies vary when you start a
stage.
The Bonus Gauge lists out what prizes you can get from the Bonus Gauge. You
get better rewards for beating a stage depending on your final score for a
stage. Once you get past 1000 points, you get no more prizes, so unless
you're building experience, you might as well ask Zetta to end the stage.
For full details on how that little chart works, refer to the Bonus Gauge
and Point System section of this guide.
Initial Region discusses what enemies, buildings, and items you'll see on
the initial map on your screen. In our above example, the stage mentioned
has no set point value for its initial region, but most do, and I note how
many points that region has.
Additional Regions, or Extensions, may or may not exist for a given stage.
I will describe these in as much detail as possible if the extensions are
stable, but usually their number, size, enemy types, and items will vary
drastically between playthroughs.
Levels for monsters can and WILL vary from what I've listed, but no more
than 1 or two levels in either direction. I have yet to pin down any one
factor that determines what an enemy's level will be in these cases; my
guess is that there is a randomizer stuck in there and there's nothing I can
do to give out a definitive answer.

finally buildings. Square allows you to toggle between HP display and
possession display. Confirm allows you to look at an individual unit.
After you confirm on a unit, you can see their equipment. Pressing Square
will change you to a listing of that unit's skills. Finally, one last press
will take you to that unit's full stat listing. You can press L1/R1 to
cycle through characters while on this screen as well.

Once you get past the initial cutscene, you'll be presented with two options
asking whether or not you wish to see the first of many tutorials. Choose
the first option (もちろん見る - Definitely wanna see it! - Yes in the US) if
you wish to watch it. If you know what you're doing, and if you've played
both Phantom Brave and Disgaea, you will, choose the second option (見たくない
- Don't wanna see it - Hell no for US version) to just skip straight to the
first battle.
To control any one of your characters, select that character and press the
Confirm button. If for some reason there are multiple characters in one
spot, press the Select button to cycle through them. Once you select a
character, you'll see a red circle extend around them. That display is the
range which your character can move. You will also see a listing of
possible moves. In the tutorial, you'll see four options:
移動 - Move
攻撃 - Attack
アイテム - Item
ステータス - Status
Choose Move. You'll see another window open up on the right side of your
screen:
Move: 50 dm
○ 移動決定 - Movement Confirm (will be X in US version)
△ 攻撃選択 - Attack Selection
X キャンセル - Cancel (will be circle in US version)
As you move around, the little number next to Move (which I'll refer to as
Move dm) will decrease the further you move away from your original
position. If it drops to 0, you can no longer move that character on that
particular combat turn. As long as it STAYS above 0, however, you are free
to continue moving that character.
To attack, reopen that first menu, and you'll see a list of your attack
moves. Zetta's moves are:
Select your favorite move. Reposition Zetta so that he attacks whatever
characters you want dead first. For the move the tutorial demonstrates,
Zodiac, holding the Square button while you move the left analog stick
allows you to focus your aim at the cost of some Move dm.
Once you've done that, your character will not immediately attack as they
would have in Phantom Brave. Instead, they will be on standby to attack
like they would have been in Disgaea. Press the Triangle button, select the
first option 『戦闘開始』 (Begin Battle), and watch the mayhem.
Attack can ONLY be used once per turn, no matter what, so be careful. When
you've done all the damage you can one turn, select the second option from
the Triangle menu 『ターン終了』 (Turn End) to finish up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage 0 - Prologue Clear Condition - Defeat all Enemies
Known as: Nothing in particular. It's the PROLOGUE.
Stable
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Gauge | Initial Region:
N/A | Level 100 Incubus x 4
| Level 1000 Raiden x 1
Enjoy the absolute ridiculousness of Zetta's HP and SP - you'll wave bye-bye
to them momentarily. Start off the battle with one of his Zodiac moves to
target all the enemies ahead of him, then hack and slash at Raiden with
whatever moves you like to end the fight. You are in utterly no danger of
dying unless you just keep ending your turns without attacking. Raiden will
NOT attack unless you attack him first.
After this battle you'll be given the option to be sucked into a goodly
length CS, witnessing Zeta's...transformation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Starting From Scratch
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you're done with that, you'll find yourself at Zetta's castle, where
Zetta will explain the basics of the Confine system. What Confining does is
allow you to affix the soul of one of Zetta's former slaves into some
object, taking on its characteristics. For instance, if you confine an ally
in something like a rock, you'll raise that character's defense. Putting an
ally's soul into a flower will make them smarter, but lower their initial
basic attack, and so forth. In general, any natural-type item like trees
and flowers will keep your stats higher than stuffing your allies' souls
into weaponry and armor, though there are exceptions. Zetta will
demonstrate Confining with one of these exceptions, glancing at a stray
Allied Symbol (Covenant Pendant - 盟約のペンダント) south of him.
The first thing you'll create is your leader character. You have seven
possible options for class type - Healer, Male/Female Magician, Male/Female
Warrior, Thief, and finally Merchant. Don't fret TOO much about what class
you choose to make him/her, since you can change your leader at any time
after this, but I would highly recommend making your leader a Warrior. This
character will get a 20% stat boost, which will add up big time later in
your leader character's initial incarnation.
After you're done with that, you'll get to choose your name. For Japanese
players, you can flip through kana/English characters as usual. English
players will be stuck with English character names only, which I'm sure will
suit most of you just fine. You will get to conclude with distributing 3
bonus points onto your stats. Go for lopsided or balanced - it doesn't
matter. For you lopsided folks who want your characters to do as much
damage as possible, Healers should focus on Resistance, Magicians on
Intelligence, Merchants and Thieves on Tech, and Warriors on Attack.
Below your base stats, you will also see Fire/Wind/Ice listed, with some
random percentage next to each. This is your starting resistance to each of
those elements. Note that these percentages add up to 0. You can alter
that by +10% for each bonus point you siphon off into those resistances.
After you're done with that, Zetta charges you with creating MORE hapless
minions for him to order around. Make at least two. Make more if you like.
When you're done, Zetta will summon a store. Buy stuff from the store.
When you talk to Zetta again, he will throw you into another cutscene.
Finish that up, save your game by pressing the Triangle button and choosing
the last option, then walk to the Gateway that appears.
To overlord dungeon - 魔王ダンジョンへ出撃
To free dungeon - フリーダンジョンへ出撃
Select the first option, then the first (and only option) again, which looks
like this:
初心の冒険者 - Beginner's Lounge
Then press confirm one FINAL time to get on with the reason you're really
playing this game, the fighting!
=============================================================================
Chapter 1: Pages of Tragedy - Demon Lord Zetta's Calamity 魔王ゼタの災難
=============================================================================
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage 1.1 Clear Condition - 200/400
Known as: Meet Micky (Beloved Micky - 親愛なるミッキー)
Stable - Demo Beforehand
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Gauge | Initial Region - 400 PTs
1 Level 1 | Lv 1 M. Apprentice x 2
2-5 Level 2 | Lv 1 M. Ronin x 1
6-9 Level 3 |
10 Level 4 |
Hurray for slaves! If you move your cursor on Zetta and press Confirm, you
will see two commands:
Invite - インバイト
End Action - 攻略終了 Finish Plunder (grayed out at the start of the battle)
Choose Invite, and watch your leader character come hurtling out of the sky.
In the corner of your screen, you will see a listing - 'POP', which should
read 1/8. As you've surely surmised, this stands for population, so now you
have one character out, and your max number of characters you can have on
screen running around at any given time is 8.
"Okay," you think, "Kill all enemies, win stage." Almost. Each enemy on
screen has a point value, a preassigned score, which you can see by moving
your cursor on top of that enemy and clicking to see that enemy's status.
On your screen at all times is your present score followed by a hash and
another number. If your score exceeds that last number, you can quit the
stage. If you kill all the enemies in a stage, also, you will automatically
end the stage.
Also, if you hover your cursor above the ground, you can see the point value
for the enemies on that section of land. Note that this does not count
weapons.
Keep the death count rising. - まだまだ屍を築き上がる
I think I'm done for now. - この辺にしておいてやる
Upon finishing the battle, you will get items, experience, and some HL, and
Zetta will plop down a Hospital where you can heal your wounds. If you go
to the Gateway, you will also see the Happy Dungeon areas are now
accessible. To read about those, refer to the bottom of this guide.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage 1.2 Clear Condition - 200/400 PTs
Known as: Micky's Celebration (Micky's Blessings - ミッキーの祝福)
Stable - Demo Beforehand and Afterwards
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Gauge | Initial Region - 100 PTs
1 Level 1 | Lv 1 M. Apprentice x 2
2-5 Level 2 | Lv 1 M. Ronin x 1 KEY
6-9 Level 3 | Flat Rock, Weed, Flower
10 Level 4 |
Additional Regions: 1
Region A: 300 PTs, Stable
Lv 1 Errant Pumpkin x 3
Rock
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you choose to view the cutscene, you'll get a full explanation behind
throwing and lifting things, as well as the Extension System.
First off, now you have access to another command - Throw (持ち上がる). You
can pick up anything that isn't nailed down to the scenery or someone
holding something else. If you pick up an item, two things happen. First,
items have point values as well, so as long as you hold that item, or if you
put that item into your inventory, you have those points added to your
score. Second, if you keep hold of that item until you leave the map, you
get to bring that item back to the castle with you. Superb! (Too bad you
can't do that with enemies...)
After that, the game will introduce to you the concept of Extensions. For
most stages of the game, part of the area will be hidden away, visible only
if you move your cursor out of bounds, and then only in grid form. The
enemies and items there remain dormant, unless you trigger them and spawn
the extensions into existence.
There are two ways to do so. One is by killing a Key Unit, identified by
the word KEY ominously floating above said unit's head. It could be a
character, an item, a vehicle, or a building. The death/destruction of the
Key Unit will automatically trigger an Extension appearing.
The other method is far more direct: throw a unit out of bounds. If an item
thrown out of bounds triggers an Extension, it's lost forever. Characters,
however, are only gone for the remainder of the map. Be careful about what
units you throw out of bounds, though. If you throw an enemy unit out, your
enemies will get a sudden level boost.
Okay, to the fighting. First, kill off the Squires. When they're dead,
kill the Ronin, the Key Unit on that region. Head over and kill the
Pumpkinheads, taking an extra turn or two to grab the topiary for sale at
the store or for character creation.
Upon finishing this stage, Pumpkinheads will be available for recruitment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage 1.3 Clear Condition - 300/Variable
Known as: Micky's Anthem (ミッキーの讃美歌)
Random - No Demo
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Gauge | Initial Region - 300 PTs
1 Level 1 | RANDOM LAYOUT
2-5 Level 2 |
6-9 Level 3 |
10 Level 4 |
I love stages like this. You want to know why? I don't have to write
ANYTHING about strategy, because the layout is RANDOM!!!
For the remainder of this guide, any time there's a pure random stage, there
will be no notes. Just exercise common sense when going through that
particular stage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage 1.4 Clear Condition - 300/700
Known as: Micky's Blessing (Amaterasu Micky - 天照すミッキー)
Stable-->Random - Demo Afterwards
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Gauge | Initial Region - 300 PTs
1-2 Level 2 | Lv 1 Evil Carrots x 4
3-6 Level 3 | Items: Rock x 2
7-10 Level 4 |
Additional Regions: Two
Region A: 100 PTs
Layout/Enemies/Items Variable
Region B: 300 PTs
Lv 1 Errant Pumpkin x 3
Lv 2 Station x 1
Lv 2 M. Working Samurai x 1
Items: Skinny Weed, Flat Rock, Weed
Kill off whatever Carrots are not Keys in your initial region. If none of
them are, more the better. Circle around the map and see where the key
region is, then try to move your units there before you kill off the Key
unit.
Plow through Region A, trigger that region's key. Once you open up Region
B, the Pumpkinheads have a bad habit of heading straight for the topiary to
pick them up. As if those items would do anything...
The Male Ronin will come straight for you, and he's the only thing you have
even to remotely worry about. Finish him off, lay into the Pumpkins, and
celebrate; you've finished chapter 1.
After you view the initial cutscene for this chapter, the other Overlords
will volunteer to help you rebuild more of your Makai/Netherworld, in
exchange for some amusement watching you clear out the area with your
minions. Depending on which one you choose to have help you, you'll see
some variation in the size and enemy composition of your Extension areas.
Choose whoever you so desire; it won't have an effect on what ending you get.
In order of appearance, this is what each Overlord's effect is on your
Extension areas:
Pram Micky Babylon
Scale Small Normal Large
Enemy Type Mages HP Heavy Mystery
Enemy Number Few Normal Many
Also, at this time Zetta will explain about the wonders of buildings and how
you can invite them down into the battlefield. To stick a character in one,
press the Triangle button and select Equip/Organization. 『装備・編制』
When you're ready, go to the magic gate, select Stage 2: The World in Ruins
(荒廃する世界), and good luck!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage 2.1 Clear Condition - 300/Variable
Known as: Pram's Ceremonial Stage (プラムの儀式台), Micky's Twilight
(ミッキーの黄昏), Babylon's Place of Respite (バビロン憩いの場)
Semi-Stable - Demo Beforehand
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Gauge | Initial Region - Variable PTs
1-3 Level 3 | Lv 3 Station x 1
4-7 Level 4 | Lv 3 Bomberhead x 2
8-10 Level 5 | Lv 2 Catman x 3
Items: Small Flower
This is a fairly straightforward stage. Send up a few units to take out the
bomberheads in the top region, then pick off the Catmen and whatever unit is
the key before continuing on into the random areas. What enemies will be in
those random areas will depend on which Overlord you chose to have help
Zetta rebuild his Makai in this chapter.
After this stage, Bomberheads and Catmans will be unlocked for character
creation.
Region A: 100 PTs
Enemies Random
Region B: 400 PTs
Enemies Random
Region C: 100 PTs
Enemies Random
Region D: 400 PTs
Enemies Random
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This stage is rather cute. The initial region has two Catmen with Key
indicators above them. If you kill one of them, an area identical in layout
with the initial region worth 100 points, will appear adjacent to it, with
another Key enemy/item somewhere within it. Kill THAT enemy/item and yet
another identical region will appear next to the main land mass, worth 400
points.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage 2.3 Clear Condition - 300/Variable
Known as: Pram's Mountain of Corpses (プラムの屍山), Micky Corps
(ミッキー部隊), Sleeping Babylon (眠れるバビロン)
Random - No Demo
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Gauge | Initial Region - 300 PTs

Region D: 200 PTs
Enemies Random
Do NOT kill off all the boxes at once; unless you get close to them, they
will not move towards you. After you kill one box, clear out the extension
triggered from it. If you kill all four at once and trigger all four
extensions, expect a monster fest at your feet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stage 2.5 Clear Condition - 300/1000
Known as: Pram's Storm (プラムの嵐) Micky's Rampart Ruins (ミッキー城壁跡)
Ancient Babylon (老いたるバビロン)
Random - No Demo
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Gauge | Initial Region - Variable
1 Level 4 | RANDOM LAYOUT
2-5 Level 5 |
6-9 Level 6 |
10 Level 7 |
Additional Regions:
Region A: Pure Random, Point Value 0
Region B: FIXED, Point Value 900
Lv 7 F. Shiganhei (Reservist) x 1
Lv 7 M. Shiganhei x 1
Lv 7 Orderly x 1
Rubbles x 3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Similar to as you did in stage 1.4, you'll want to hold off on killing the
Key Unit in your Initial Region until last, and preferably at the start of a
turn so that you can maximize your unit movement. Press on through region A
as quick as possible, again holding off on killing off the final Key Unit
until you move your characters over by where Region B will appear.
This stage also has the introduction of your Infantry units - gun-toting
modern soldiers. You will have to charge at them, or otherwise they'll have
fun shooting your characters to death one by one at a distance.
=============================================================================
Chapter 3: The Mysterious Girl, Trenia 謎の少女トレニア
=============================================================================
Following the introductory cutscene, you will get the opportunity to again
choose an Overlord to help you create this chapter's Makai. In addition to
the three for chapter 2, the Demon Overlord Seedle will offer his services
for area creation. He creates normal-sized, normal populated areas, with an
emphasis on High Attack enemies. Choose who you wish.
At this time, you can now create three more types of characters: male
Infantry, female Infantry, and Orderlies, which are male versions of
Healers. Also, guns are unlocked for sale at both the Shop and/or from your
friendly neighborhood Merchant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is the first of two or three stages in the entire game where the
Extensions appear on their own after a certain number of turns elapse (see
above). Try to avoid killing any of the key enemies - you will have your
hands very full just handling the enemies at the rate they pop from the
auto-pops. Keep your party members on the center region to maximize your
maneuverability.

Lv. 11 Steel Titan x 1
Other Enemies - Variable
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Before you begin this stage, unequip the weapons off of two of your weak
characters. Once you enter the stage, all of the extensions will be
immediately visible - Zetta will be plopped on top of a small island, and
there will be a cross-shaped island immediately adjacent to that. Off in
either direction from that will be two additional islands, each sporting a
Control Tower with a very strong Steel Titan. Each of those Titans will
give you 400 PTs - the trick is to actually get your units to them!
This is where your weaponless characters come into play. Invite them, then
have them toss your strongest characters onto one of the other islands after
defeating the Surprise Boxes. Since the enemies besides the Titan are
variable, it is highly advised you throw your characters onto whichever
island has the fewest units. Kill your Steel Titan, talk to Zetta, and get
out of this stage - it's not worth dallying in for experience.

1-3 Level 6 | Level 119 Stronghold
4-7 Level 7 | Lv. 10 M. Trooper, Lv. 9 Watchman, 2 Lv. 8 F. Infantry
8-10 Level 8 |
This stage requires you to jump right into the fray with the enemy -
literally! The Stronghold itself is WAY too high level, unless you're going
through a New Game +, to take out normally - it has around 3000 HP and has a
ridiculously high defense. So, you may ask, how do you win? You have to
send your four highest troops (the Stronghold can only hold eight people
total) in to fight. If your characters are level 8-10, they should manage
to prevail.
This is an excellent stage to level up on, if you're a bit behind on your
levels. You can also win a lot of good items from the Bonus Gauge. Later,
when you're strong enough to destroy the Stronghold, you can rack up mana on
this stage very very quickly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you start this section, try to get your buildings as close to the
staircase as possible in the initial region. If you do, when you invite
your characters out of the buildings, it's then possible to get the
characters to pop out at the second level of the initial zone.
Work your way slowly through the random section, trying as much as possible
to get all of your allies fully into it before triggering the fixed
Extension. Overtake the Lookout Tents before attempting to kill the
Rozengarten vehicle carrying a Female Trooper. If the Iron Guards get
loose, let them and save them towards the end. While they have a lot of HP,
they don't do all that much damage. The Professor, having only a few hit
points, will drop quickly. Don't let the Professor linger alive - her bombs
do heavy damage to your troops.
Any machine provides total protection for its occupant - if you destroy the
machine, its operator pops out with full HP, no status ailments, ready to
go. Save the Rozengarten for after the Professor - while it does a lot of
damage, at its present level it can only do single attacks - and then
finally take out the Female Trooper.
At the start of this stage, Dark King Royal will make his services
available. His extensions are normal-sized and have normal populations.
They focus on enemies with lots of special techniques.
After having defeated 3-6, you will unlock two new classes - Mechanics and
Professors. Mechanics have the abilities to buy and sell parts and to
repair Mechs, and Professors have the ability to level up Mechs if those
Mechs have enough experience. You will get a Mechanic created for you by
Zetta, but you'll need to create a Professor to level up your vehicles on
your own. You will receive your first Mech, a level 10 Rozengarten.
Henceforth, you will see a new type of currency, known as MT. Even if you
replay the game from the beginning, you will continue to get MT from the
Bonus Gauge. This, plus selling items to your Mechanic, are the only ways
you can get MT.

The main enemies that you'll want to head for in this stage are the F.
Fencer and the two Catmen next to her, since the Fencer does a lot of damage
with her Katana. The two hills will require you to shove your allies
against the wall to create a mini-staircase if you wish to reach them for
most classes, as the jump is simply too high otherwise.

This stage is very long geographically - the large point-worthy reasons are
connected by a series of small segments. Try to move your units all
together as one group and avoid the temptation of sending only a couple
ahead as a demolition squad for the rest of your troops. If you sent a
soloer or a pair, by the time you get to region F, the enemies there will
have made sushi out of them.

Unlike most maps, all three of the regions are displayed at the start of
this stage. You will see two enemies: a Master Fencer and a Shanpatu. The
Master Fencer's level is not an exaggeration; she really IS that high.
Luckily, she can only attack one of your units at once. Send out whatever
units you have with ridiculously high movement around her as quickly as
possible, and leave a couple of units behind for the Fencer to pick off
instead of your prime killing units. Kill the Shanpatu and you should have
enough points to talk to Zetta and clear the stage.
When you've completed this stage, it transforms into a random region.

The first region is fairly simple - a well-placed trio of Kitties, which can
be felled in one swoop with the help of your mages. Generally one or more
of the Pine Trees in this area will be starred. Continue through - slowly -
through Region 1.
Once you open Region 2, do a charge straight for Raiden, who is worth a
massive 900 PTs. Do not pass Go, do not bother collecting Bomberhead
corpses. Set up multiple special hit chains on Raiden and he should go down
within two-three rounds of sustained attacks. When he's down, feel free to
exit the area.

Whatever the Key is in this initial area, try to hold off a round or two to
try to eliminate all the enemies that pop out of the buildings first before
moving on to the Extensions. Ideally, you'll want to try to destroy the
buildings with the enemies in them; you should be able to do that with the
Shed easily, if not with the Fortress. Another prime target for careful
elimination is the Kaiserberg - take your time in destroying that if it's
not the key, but be sure to get rid of the Lucky Doll fast, as its
mallet-based techniques will lower your characters' levels.
This stage is unusual in that you start off with more than 0 points - 300,
to be precise. Why, I have no idea, but you do. You will see one Gourmet
Ogre lounging around on the ground, and one big factory at the top of one
huge column. You COULD make a pile of buildings and climb up to the enemy
factory that way, but that's more trouble than it's worth. The enemies tend
to pop out at a slow rate from the factory; kill them all, rack up all the
points you can, and rejoice.

There are two ways to finish this stage:
1) Take the cheap and easy way out and attack Zetta. If you do this,
EVERYTHING on screen will be attacked, and the Wooden Puppets will generally
die instantly. However, IF you do this, you will lose some of the treasure
you would have gotten from a clean kill.
2) Kill like crazy. Whip out a few mages and have them go wild with the
Wide series of spells. Try to kill them all off in one turn, or else
they'll use their hammers to do a Level Down attack.

At the start of this stage, kill the Energy Balls within the first turn if
at all possible. Your best bet will be to put a building at the top of the
hill where the Energy balls are at, and then deploy your allies from there.
If you hit the Blood-stained Flower, so be it. The Energy Balls' Balloon
attacks throw the Energy Balls out of bounds into death, thus boosting the
levels of the remaining enemies. This is definitely a Bad Thing, and to add
insult to injury, you can't get points from the Energy Balls if they
self-destruct.
Once you work your way through the random area, try to let the enemies come
to you. The Trokkens have an annoying HP-stealing technique, so try to take
them out one at a time. The Iron Giant from the School levels up one level
each turn, though if you take over the School, he no longer does so. No, if
you enter the School, it reverts to a standard School that offers a 50% exp
boost Protection.

Lv. 33 Brigand
Lv. 23 Dreitronbet with Lv. 23 Floatmind
This stage is one of the longest layouts in the entire game. All of the
regions are visible from the very beginning. For this stage, you may be
best off simply waiting one or two turns to let the enemies come towards
you. If the enemies prove to be difficult, return back to stage 5.3 or 5.4
and level up a couple of levels, then try this stage again.
The only enemies worth any points at all are the enemies that start off in
Region D: the two Hunters, the Brigand, and the Floatmind in the
Dreitronbet. It seems that you need to work your way towards them (Region B
or so) before they start to move in your general direction.
The danger in this stage derives chiefly from how almost every character
starts off from inside a building, with the exception of the Captain. At
the start of the stage, try your best to destroy the two Lookout Tents, then
proceed very slowly forward. Do your best not to bunch all of your
characters up, lest they be offed in one attack.

None of the enemies are worth any points with the exception of Raiden.
Adding injury to this insulting bit are the Rozengartens splattered across
the map - they fire a lot, and they fire hard. They don't have a lot of MP,
so after a few turns they'll run out of ammunition, but this is scarce
comfort given that if you aren't careful to keep everyone healed, your
allies will be transformed into dust in no time flat.
The easy way to finish this stage is to pile all of your favorite attackers
into one building, deploy a Thief and that building, have the Thief pick up
the building, move that Thief as far towards Raiden as you can, then have
the Thief hurl the building towards Raiden. Have them all attack Raiden at
once, and you should be able to defeat him in a turn. One throw should
suffice to get them in range if you deploy the thief straight from Zetta.

At the beginning of this chapter, Alec will make his Makai rebuilding

feature "Tricky" enemies.
Your first objective at the beginning of this stage is to head straight to
the Food Plant and destroy it before the end of the first turn. If you
don't, it will mass produce Wriggling Carrots. When that's out of the way,
clear out the remaining vegetables, leaving whatever the Key is for last as
usual. The remainder of the stage is random.
Standard strategies here. Killing the enemies around the Schubartzsilt is
highly recommended, as the enemies have a bad habit of hopping inside of it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The good thing about this soccer-themed stage is that the Yellow enemies and
the Red enemies will fight one another. The bad thing is that if you kill
too many of the Red opponents (who are more disposed to killing you first),
the Yellow opponents will kill you instead. Your initial inclination will
be a balanced approach, to weaken as many of your opponents in the first
round as you can. Ignore that. Slaughter all the Red enemies you can in
the last round. Don't fret if you kill the Red Key early- his attack is the
worst of the bunch, so you're probably doing yourself a favor anyways.
Once the Extensions are triggered, you'll want to focus your attentions upon
slaughtering more of the Reds first - if all the Red enemies are gone, you
win by default even if your point total doesn't exceed 700.
Finally - try and STAY AWAY from ZETTA as much as possible. The enemies
have an annoying habit of doing area attacks that put Zetta in the
crossfire, and thus cause fullscreen mass slaughter when Zetta's pages even
get ruffled. The Yellow enemies attack Zetta with their syringes, as well.
Try not to dally - after three stages you'll have several more enemies and
food plants on either side. At least one of the Red enemies in the
extensions wields a hammer, so kill him off first if you don't want your
characters to drop in levels like a submarine.

The easiest thing to do here is to attempt to destroy the Lighthouses before
the Deathsabers pop out of them, as their attacks are far worse with their
little Katanas than what the Shadows will be dishing out with their spells.

Mystery Box
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All you need to do to clear this stage is to kill off the Bushwacker on your
island to have sufficient points to clear the stage. It's not impossible to
get the Mystery Box, but it's not worth it at all, given the insane amount
of jump you'd need on two of your characters to get past Region B, a
gigantic wall in front of Region C; it's much easier to just wait and obtain
it in the Bonus Dungeons.
When this stage goes to random, the Clear Condition again becomes the
standard chapter 8 700 PT threshhold.
This is TRULY an interesting stage. Unlike normal, where your objective
would be to destroy everything in the area, your sole objective is to stay
alive as Salome and Alexander blow everything in their respective paths to
smithereens as they attempt to kill one another. Your natural inclination
on this stage is to invite no one and let them duke it out and pray. I
would heartily advise against this.
Left to her own devices, Salome can slaughter Alexander easily, but one or
the other of them has a nasty habit of attacking Zetta by accident. If one
of them does that, Zetta becomes unable to Invite, and if you have no
characters out, it's game over, start over from your last save point.
So, divide and conquer. Spread your characters out all over this teeny map
as much as possible. Usually I advise against using Vehicles - I consider
them a waste of time - but here they give your units a guarranteed one-hit
protection versus whatever attacks the two of them dish out, so having one
or two tanks go to the hard-to-reach corners will be worth your while.
Once you spread your units out in the first round, it's all about luck.
Keep moving your units away from those two and you should be able to come
out of this battle unscathed (mostly). If Salome defeats Alex, you will not
get anything out of the bonus gauge, but after seeing the amount of damage
the two of them banty around, I don't think you'll be too worried about such
a trifling thing.
Later on, if you have hyper-leveled characters via a New Game +, if you kill
Alec and Salome both, you will activate Event Dungeon # 14, and head
straight to one of two alternative endings. Event Dungeons will be listed
in full detail for the next update. Winning Event Dungeon #14 will garner
you one the dozen or so bonus characters.
=============================================================================
Chapter 9: Overlord vs. Overlord! 魔王VS魔王
=============================================================================
Just the same as Chapter 1, you cannot choose who will handle Extension
creation at the start of the chapter. The reason will be obvious.
A fairly straightforward stage. The Priests are well within range to drop a
building on a couple of them. If at all possible, try to kill all the
priests off in the first round, as their healing is a genuine pain in the
rear. After that, follow up by killing the Rogue, leaving the vehicles for
last.
This stage, similar to 7-5, is all about catpuring the flag...or rather,
enemy bases. You will want to deploy all of your allies that you can via
facilities and have them invade the two tents on the far side to start off
the battle. Stuff as many of your lower level allies in the Lookout Tents
as you can, and deploy your top eight units to lay waste to the remainder of
the field.

Tricky stage - be sure everyone is inside of a building so they can move
through this large stage rapidly post-deployment. The Neverwind and the
Flosch Vehicles are lethal, have high defense, and are, in short, a royal
pain in the keister. Focus on destroying as many of the characters as you
can, starting with the Neverwind piloted by the Colonel. Your initial
inclination will probably be kill the machines, then leave the Professors
inside for easy killin', since they have such low defense. RESIST that
urge; their Remote Control based area attacks are very deadly. If you can't
destroy a Flosch in the same turn that you destroy its pilot, don't. Their
kick attacks are far more preferable than wacky professors.

3-6 Level 24 | Lv. 80 Night Ghost
7-10 Level 25 | Lv 72 Clocktower, both with
4 Lv. 64 Energy Balls
Ideally, when you get to this stage, you should have strong enough mages to
strike down at least one of the clocktowers (preferably the one to your left
as you enter the stage) without ever having to deal with the enemies inside.
The final test before the final boss. If you are struggling on this stage,
go back to one of the other stages in this chapter and level up. If you
can't survive this, you will have no prayer of doing any damage to Salome.
By now your mages should have gotten Mega Wide<fire/ice/wind>; spam it on
the closeknit clump of Shanpuras and clerics on the staircase. Set your
remaining units to the task of clearing out the enemies before the stairwell
arch.
The enemy to be most wary about is the Swamp Devil at the top of the stairs;
he has Zodiac on his sword, which will wipe your units out if they're too
close together in a heartbeat. Thankfully, he is terrifically lazy and
typically won't move the first couple of rounds.

Stage 9.10 Clear Condition - 800/1000
Known as: The Sanctum of Death (死の礼拝堂)
Stable - Demo Before and After
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Gauge | Initial Region - 1000 PTs
1-3 Level 24 | Lv. 85 Salome - 1000 PTs
4-7 Level 25 | 3 Lv. 51 Hellbouncers, 3 Lv. 51 Liches, 2 Lv. 51 Royal
8-10 Level 26 | Guard, 2 Lv. 51 Bishops, 1 Lv. 51 Wizard
The Good: Salome won't attack you the first five or so turns.
The Bad: She has 45% + elemental defense, making it hard to land spells on
her; physical attacks are the way to go.
The Ugly: Her bodyguards, which have no compunctions in attacking you ASAP.
If your characters have an average level 50 or so, you should be able to
manage this fight. The first thing you want to do is attack each of her
lines; whatever you do, try to slaughter the row of Hellbouncers within the
first round. A lot of the enemies will stand still for a turn or two, so
take advantage of this fact.
When you get all of the other enemies eliminated, go for a barrage round of
attacks on Salome. Do your magic attacks first, as they are weakest, then
follow up by physical attacks. If you set it up as a chain, going in order
of increasing attack power, she ought to fall within 2-3 rounds.
Enjoy the ending after you win! Hopefully your first time through the game
you'll end up with the Good Ending! If you, however, decided to kill 50 or
more of your own allies for such a petty thing as mana, you will find
yourself in an alternative ending versus one of your 'allies'...

A. Happy Dungeons
=============================================================================
The Happy Dungeons reset upon each New Game +. Happy Dungeons are
considered Free Dungeons - they vanish upon completion, so if you don't get
all the items in one go, you are out of luck. All of them are one floor
each with four enemies, with the enemies located in the north third of the
map, Zetta in the center third, and then the items in the final third.
The strategy for all three is the same - send your units with spare item
slots straight for the items. The Owls will follow, but their attacks are
very weak - even at lower levels, you should be able to take them out
easily. The Owls have a habit of suiciding by leaping into your unit-filled
buildings, so I'd advise against putting your allies in one - or rather,
leaving them in one.

V. Bonus Gauge and Point Systems
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The Bonus Gauge System in Makai Kingdom is, as mentioned earlier in this
guide, directly stolen from Disgaea. After the completion of each stage,
depending on how many points you have earned from whacking enemies,
buildings, items, and mechs, you will get rewards of XP, HL, and delectable
items. After you begin chapter 4 in your initial playthrough, MT, guns, and
mechs will be unlocked. For all subsequent New Game +'s, you will have
those three things available from chapter 1.
Getting points is simple. All you have to do is kill enemies/break
items/buildings/mechs. For boss stages in the Free Dungeons, Bosses are
always excluded from this base point total. Note that if an enemy,
building, or item is thrown out of bounds, the points associated with it
disappear forever.
If you do a combination attack on a given opponent, you can rack up a lot of
points really fast. A combination attack is where you set all of your
allies to attack one opponent before selecting the Begin Battle command in
the Triangle Menu. If at any time during the combo you have even one
character target a different enemy, that will end the chain. If and only if
you kill the enemy during the course of an attack, you will get bonus
points.
The first extra person in an attack will give you a 10% bonus on your attack
ability; the second extra person will give you an extra 20% bonus on top of
that, adding up to a 30% bonus, and so forth. Thus, if you have seven extra
people in an attack (the most possible), you can get an additional point
value of 280% if the final person is the one that makes the kill. If you
set up an eight person combo and the fourth extra person (person #5) makes
the kill, then you only get credit for those four people for your point
bonus giving you a 100% (10% + 20% + 30% + 40%) bonus. The other three
people, thankfully, will be able to retarget their attacks elsewhere.
For any given stage, you can get ten possible 'things'. If you get 100
points or more, you will get whatever is listed in the first slot on the
Bonus Gauge list. Getting 200 points will get you the first two, 300 points
the first three, all the way up to ten things after getting 1000 points. If
you get above 1000 points, you get nothing special.
If Zetta is attacked (healing is okay, however), half of the items on the
Bonus Gauge listing will vanish. Your enemies generally won't attack Zetta
directly, but they will often use area attacks on allies near Zetta and hit
him on accident. Your points will not be reduced, however.
For any given stage of the game, the bonus gauge will follow one of four
patterns:
-------------------
Pattern 1:
-------------------
100 Points = Level X
200-500 Points = Level X + 1
600-900 Points = Level X + 2
1000 Points = Level X + 3
-------------------
Pattern 2:
-------------------
100-200 Points = Level X
300-600 Points = Level X + 1
700-1000 Points = Level X + 2
-------------------
Pattern 3:
-------------------
100-300 Points = Level X
400-700 Points = Level X + 1
800-1000 Points = Level X + 2
-------------------
Pattern 4:
-------------------
100-400 Points = Level X
500-800 Points = Level X + 1
900-1000 Points = Level X + 2
For instance, on stage 2.1, I listed the following information:
This stage follows pattern 3. The first three slots, for 100, 200, and 300
points respectively, will yield 'level 3' experience, cash, and items.
Glancing at the chart below, that would equate to 10 XP, 12 MT, or 50 HL.
What items would pop out will be included later once I've completed the item
listings. 400, 500, 600, and 700 point slots will produce 'level 4' exp,
cash, and items, and the 800, 900, and 1000 point slots will yield 'level 5'
rewards.
Play through a few levels if this isn't making sense. It will dawn on you
how this works, I promise.
Again, items and their ranks will be included in a later update. Without
further ado, here are the XP, MT, and HL listings to the highest known
level, level 55 (reasonably sure that this is the highest possible level.)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
VI. Facilities
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Facilities: those handy little areas that you can jump in and out of to get
spiffy protections in Makai Kingdom.
All Facility types can be created from level 1, as long as you have the
proper class associated with it and sufficient mana. The tricky part, as
I'm sure some have you have noticed, is having enough mana. Some of you may
have gotten weird error messages whenever you've tried. No worries - I am
here to ail your pain.
The actual process of making a character into a facility is fairly simple.
First, you must make sure that your chosen character matches the given
conditions:
1) The character cannot be equipped with anything.
2) The charact cannot be stationed inside of a facility or a mech.
3) The character cannot be holding anything in Zetta's Castle area.
4) The character cannot be your designated leader character. (As you can
change your leader via wishing, this is easy enough to get around.)
5) Finally, you can only have a maximum of four facilities on the Castle
area map at any given time. Unsummon them or throw them out of the Castle
bounds - throwing them doesn't destroy them, but it does allow you to create
new ones.
Once this things are all done, press the Confirm button next to Zetta and
choose the fifth option, "Write Down a Wish" "願いことを書き込む". You should
see as your first message "新しい建物がほしい", or "I want a new facility!".
Confirm that selection. If for some reason it's not working - you didn't
fulfill one of the above conditions! Double and triple check that. Choose
your favorite facility from the list below (the Japanese has been provided
for easy identification purposes), press confirm again if you have enough
mana, then wave bye-bye to your character, for he is going off to a better
place - his death happened from your callous construction-crazed tendencies!
Okay, seriously, once you do that, your character CAN be brought back at
level 1 as another job. When you kill a character to create a facility, he
is automatically sent on the road transmutated with all of his previous
skills, minus the mana he had from being transformed into a facility. Move
your leader character up to an item in Zetta's Castle, and you will now see
three options - Character Make, the character you just got rid of, and
Cancel.
The only other factors that determine whether you can build a facility are
your character's level and your character's present class. The formula for
determining HOW much mana you need to create a certain facility is extremely
nasty.
The facility I'll use as the base for our calculations this is the School,
since the School is the only unit that every character can make that won't
suffer from rounding error.
Ready for the formula I derived? Here it is:
Base = 150x^2 + 345x + 30xy + z
where:
x = Character Level / 10, dropping the remainder.
y = Character Level modulus 10 (or the remainder after dividing by 10)
z = Iteration factor for y value (see below table)
^ = square the following value (so x^2 is x squared)
Let me show you with an example. Say you have a level 81 Female Warrior who
you want to use to create a School. Your x value here would be 8 (81/10),
your y value would be 1 (remainder from previous division problem), and your
z value, according to the above table, would be 215.
To determine the creation costs for any other facility, all you would have
to do is take this above base and multiply it by the creation multiplier
listed, then round down.
The Storehouse, for instance, costs .08 the base to create. For our
aforementioned Level 81 Female Warrior, it would cost her .08(12815) mana,
or 1025 mana.

VII. Item List
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The following is a listing for basic, non-starred items in the game. Unlike
previous NIS offerings in the SRPG genre, items cannot be powered up at all;
what you buy or what you pick up is what you get.
Stars affect all of the seven base statistics of an item, as well as the
buying/sale price, as follows:
Single Star - 1.2 multiplier on all stats, 1.5 multiplier on sale price
Two Stars - 1.4 multiplier on all stats, 2.0 multiplier on sale price
Three Stars - 1.6 multiplier on all stats, 2.5 multiplier on sale price
Four Stars - 1.8 multiplier on all stats, 3.0 multiplier on sale price
Crown - 2.0 multiplier on all stats, 3.5 multiplier on sale price
Movement, Jump, Elemental protection, and status protections are NOT
increased by stars nor by your character's level. They stay constant
regardless.
Once a character is higher than level 102, they start slowly accumulating
bonuses from their equipment. The new stats for your equipment are
calculated using the following formula:
New Stat = Base Stat * (1 + Level Mod)
where Level Mod = (((Character Level - 100)/200), rounded to the nearest
hundredths place.
All items are listed in the following format:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name | HP| SP| ATK| DEF| INT| RES| TEC|MVT|JMP| Price
Bonus Gauge Lvl |Fire|Wind| Ice| Psn| Sle|Para| Amn|Gam|Daz| Japanese Name
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP = HP Added Fire = Fire Resistance
SP = SP Added Wind = Wind Resistance
ATK = Attack Ice = Ice Resistance
DEF = Defense Psn = Poison Resistance
INT = Intelligence Sle = Sleep Resistance
RES = Resist Para = Paralysis Resistance
TEC = Tech Amn = Amnesia Resistance
MVT = Movement Gam = Gamble Resistance
JMP = Jump Daz = Dazed Resistance
For the below price listings, an * indicates what this item would cost if it
was buyable. Such items are never actually available for sale, and are only
obtainable from the Bonus Gauge or by picking them up in dungeons. The item
classes Lightsabers, Frypans, Mallets, Syringes
Topiary and Mech items are considered special sale cases. They take an
additional 90% hit in sale price at a Merchant or store in comparison to
other items. They do sell, however, at a relatively full value in MT to a
Mechanic.
Special note - the Iron Man Wrench is oddly enough sold for 250000 as well
as 200000 from a standard Merchant in the Japanese version. The sale value
indicates that 200000 is the real value of the item. Even if you buy it for
250000, that Wrench will sell back for the same value as one bought at
200000.

C. ARMOR

Removed for temporary renovation.

D. VEHICLE PARTS
=============================================================================
Vehicle parts, as the words suggest, are for vehicle usage only. If you
equip anything here on a normal character instead on a vehicle, you will get
no positive or negative stat adjustments.
=============================================================================
E. CONSUMEABLE ITEMS
=============================================================================
Unlike other items, these give you a restorative boost to the following
stats when used in battle. These items are one-time use only. To be used,
they must be in the target player's inventory.

item you confine them in upon character creation/transmigration. All values
listed are in percentages. Thus, if you were to create or transmigrate a
character into a non-starred version of the first item in our list below, a
Boulder, its base SP, ATK, and RES would stay the same (100 = normal). Its
HP and DEF would be boosted by 20% (120-100 = 20) and its initial TEC and
RES would be lowered by 20% to 80% of its initial value.
A quick glance at the list below will reveal that the best items to
transmigrate into are any in the Topiary category. Everything else provides
limited boosts in comparison, with the exception of the Treasure, OS, and
HP&MP food classes of items.

IX. Class Guide
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
All initial statistics below are derived from confining a non-transmigrated
character into a regular Imperial, the only basic item I know of right off
hand that has 100% in all confine stats. If you confine a character into a
different item, you will definitely get different stats than listed below.
In the Japanese version of the game, there is no difference in name between
the Male and Female versions of the Warrior, Infantry, Swordsman, and
Magician classes.
The requisite mana for your Leader character to create each class, or for a
given character to transmigrate into a given class, depends on what 'level'
or subclass of that class you wish to transmigrate into. Those amounts are
as follows:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | Level 5 | Level 6 |
0 Mana | 50 Mana | 200 Mana | 800 Mana | 2000 Mana | 5000 Mana |
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The sole exception to this are the Prinnies who require 3000 mana to create
their level 5 class and XXX mana for their level 6 class.
Resistance or weakness to Fire, Wind, or Ice is totally random, and varies
from -90 to +90. A given character will always have their resistance
numbers add up to 0, and you can put up to +30 when you're distributing
their initial statistics. All Bonus character classes have no variability
in their Fire/Wind/Ice resistances; they will always start off totally
neutral (0/0/0).
The levels that individual subjobs within a class are unlocked at will be
included in a later update.

This is a complete list of all the wishes you can get in Makai Kingdom. To
make a wish, all you have to do is move your leader character to Zeta, talk
to him, and select the "Make a Wish" option. Note, however, that some
wishes are only available if a character has fulfilled certain prerequisites.
Note that the below list contains some spoilers. If you're going through
the game for the first time, I highly recommend not looking at the below
list.

To create a free dungeon, you need the following amount of mana:
Mana required = 20x^2 + 61x + 4xy + z
where:
x = Character Level / 10, dropping the remainder.
y = Character Level modulus 10 (or the remainder after dividing by 10)
z = Iteration factor for y value (see below table)
^ = square the following value (so x^2 is x squared)
The requisite level to do the self-Transmigrate wish is determined by the
number of stored stars from previous Transmigrations:
Stored Stars (2) = new required level.
The requisite amount of mana is:
Mana = 50 * ( Total Stored Stars + Previous Confined Item # of Stars)
All bonus characters start with an assumed stored star total of 1.

IX. Miscellany Section
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Welcome to the Miscellany Section, the place where I put miscellaneous notes
on stuff that I haven't devoted full sections to yet. Some of this may join
these other sections at a later date, while other bits may be forced to
languish here in obscurity.
-----------
1) Deletion
-----------
If you delete your characters, they're gone. If you delete a mech, your
leader character at the time of deletion will get 1 mana back. If you
delete a building, your leader character will get some set amount of mana
back based on how much mana it cost to build the building (presumably).
---------------
2) Business 101
---------------
As you sell stuff to your merchant (and presumably to a Store Building as
well), you should notice your worth at your local Merchant generally
increasing. So much, in fact, that the Merchant feels safe in giving you
MORE money for goods that you sell. The price will be some integer % value,
or some integer % - 1 of the base price. This goes upward up to an apparent
cap of 80% of the item's original purchase price.
Also, note that buying (NOT SELLING) things from your Merchant will cause
your Merchant's level to rise. See, there is a good reason you should buy
from the Merchant instead of the Store, which does offer a 10% discount off
of the Merchant's Prices.
Mechanics work similarly with regards to Part selling prices. I have yet to
verify if Mechanics work on a separate table than Merchants.
If you hit the R2 button on the castle screen next to a character, you will
hit them for some amount of damage. If you continue to do this, the
character will die. In exchange, you will get some amount of mana (fixed by
the defeated character's level). You can bring back the deceased character
by talking to a Healer or a Hospital, then talking to Zetta to resummon it.
This is an excellent way of getting some spare mana on a character who
hasn't gotten to kill many enemies.
Be careful, though. If your kill count gets too high (the Japanese websites
are bantying around the number 60, though I haven't independently confirmed
that number), you will force yourself into a bonus battle for one of two of
the secret endings after beating the final boss. If you win, you're fine,
but if you lose, you will not be able to get a New Game+ at all, and you'll
get told off by the game for your reckless behavior.
Oh, and for those of you going through the game normally the first time
through, you won't win. The boss on that stage is level 1000ish.
1) Do NOT put all of your characters into Buildings and Mechs. Certain
floors have built-in blocks against inviting Buildings and Mechs. Whenever
you go into a Free Dungeon, be sure to have some characters (preferably your
strongest) OUTSIDE of either.
2) Using a Dale allows you to exit the dungeon instantly. Using a Mogul
allows you to advance 30 floors in the dungeon. If the dungeon has less
than 30 floors remaining, a Mogul will automatically exit you from the
dungeon as well. Moguls are almost always available on every other tenth
floor of a Free Dungeon; Dales pop up randomly as the first item on the
Bonus Gauge on one of those floors with about 30% frequency.
3) Every ten floors you have a "Boss" level. Normally, you need 100 PTs to
advance to the next floor in a Free Dungeon. On a Boss level, you need 500
PTs. In addition, this Boss level has an actual Boss character worth 500
PTs.
4) Your leader character will resurrect with 1 HP at the beginning of the
next floor if he/she is defeated on a floor. It is a very good idea to make
your leader character carry a Dale or a Mogul to escape the dungeon if the
floors get really rough.
1) There seems to be no difference in bonus points if you transmigrate via
the Transmigrate wish or via the Create a Building wish.
2) Transmigration DOES NOT AFFECT your character's base statistics when you
change jobs. A character that has transmigrated 8 times will have the same
base stats as one who has transmigrated 100 times.
3) Bonus characters can transmigrate, but you cannot transmigrate them by
turning them into a Building.
------------------
6) Maximums
------------------
The greatest number of items you can have in your possession is 1200.
The greatest number of total buildings and vehicles you can make is 60.
The greatest number of created characters you can have is 115. (The other
12 slots are reserved for bonus characters.)
The greatest possible movement and jump ratings are 127.
--------------------------------
7) Fun with Bugs.
--------------------------------
One time through a Free Dungeon on a Boss Floor in the Japanese version, I'd
wiped down an Unclean God down to a sliver of its health, then destroyed the
next Key item, triggering the Extension. Unfortunately, the side effect of
this Extension was to drop your characters down to half of their life. So,
the character was left on screen at 0 HP. I tried healing it to see if that
would have any effect, but nope; it seems like a spell like Carol from
Phantom Brave would be necessary to kick that sucker up again.
Also, curiously enough, the Boss's quick-view health meter reflected the
health drop, but her actual health when you looked at her picture showed her
health at full. Unfortunately, my mage's spell overkilled her anyways, so I
never did find out which meter the game was actually going by.

XII. Frequently Asked Questions
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
These questions are actual questions posed to me in e-mail. In the event of
the questioner's poor grasp of the English language, I have modified the
original question to make it readable. The questions that follow will NOT
be answered in e-mail again. I will either ignore your e-mail or point you
to here. I'm not even touching the various message boards right now to see
what questions pop up there every ten seconds. Too many posts to read when
I can devote my time here and help more people faster that way. ;>
The sole exception to my self-imposed e-mail only rule is for question #1,
which is what the local GameStop guy asked me as I picked my copy of the
game. It was a moderately amusing exchange, so I figured I'd share it here.
Clerk: So, have you played Disgaea?
Me: Yeah, that, La Pucelle...
Clerk: Yeah, this game is awesome.
Me: Yeah, I know, I've played it already.
Clerk: ...(to himself: wtf is this person doing...)
Me: ...in Japanese.
Clerk: Oh... <long pause as he glances at the credit verification screen>
Q1. Clerk - So, can you ever get to where you level weapons like in Disgaea?
I loved leveling weapons in Disgaea
A1. Me - No, unfortunately not. (I hated leveling weapons in Disgaea, for
the record.)
And now, on to the actual questions I've received so far via e-mail that I
figure would have popped up frequently:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q2. OK, I'm going to sound stupid, but how can you get more items in your
castle to make more characters? Do they have to be on the ground like the
items at the beginning of the game....what do I do?
A2. This is very easy! What you have to do is talk to Zetta on your castle
screen and choose "Summon". Tap right once, then choose an item - I
recommend a piece of topiary. Choose where to invite it, then walk your
leader character over to it. Press confirm (x) and choose 'Create a
Character'.
Q3. I have yet to be able to buy the following items (in chapter 9):
Magnets, Magic Cannons, Fishing Poles, Rods, Fans, Drums, Pies, Bombs,
Remotes, Boxes, Mallets, Syringes, Lightsabers, or Frypans. Sorry, thats a
lot... I'm just wondering, is there a point in the game where you acquire
these, or does your merchant have to be a certain level, or do you need a
combination of character classes?
A3. All of these items are NEVER available for sale. They can only be
obtained by picking them up or stealing them in dungeons, and are unlocked
in the Bonus Gauge after you beat the game for the first time and are in the
middle of a New Game +.
Q4. Is there any way to have characters learn weapon skills faster? My
swordsman guy is like level 55 and he still only knows "The Shadow", and
he's been using a katana through 3 transmigrations. Am I missing something?
A4. For a lot of weapons, not really. Katanas learn weaponskills as slow as
molasses; the second skill, The Shadow, is learned at Katana Level 2, but
the next skill isn't learned until Katana Level 7. I recommend creating a
Library with the remains of one of your Magicians and sticking your
characters inside of it, as that increases Weapon Mastery learn rates by
50%. Beyond that, keep transmigrating your character. If other NIS games
are any indication, higher class characters usually fill their Weapon
mastery meters quicker.
