1. Purpose                                                              | BF_1P
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

The purpose or intention of writing this FAQ (okay, I think it's already
obvious) is to help people and gamers in beating those bosses or enemies that
was found hard by them. This will likely solve common problems that give you
headaches on how to defeat them; by level, by tactics, or by your weapons and
armors?

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
2. Bosses                                                              | BF_2BS
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

This section will tackle on how to beat enemies and bosses which most players
having problems pounding them. You could also ask me to add enemies or AI in
the game into this FAQ and create a tactics like how to beat them :) An
example of this is Elwen. She's not a boss but you need to beat her to be able
to use her as your friend.

2.1. Using the FAQ                                                 | BF_2BS_1UF
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

In this section, I would explain to you on how it would look alike and how you
would use it. Below is an example, look and be amazed!!! Muwahahaha, *choke*...
ahem...

The Boss section was split into 3 sub-sections, human side, non-human side and
the bonus dungeon I made this because things would be different after you
choose on which side you joined.

*Notes*
- I will not include enemies in the Boss FAQ that cannot be defeated.
- ASAP, buy a Training Device which gives you 25% exp up. Trust me it will
 help you. It costs 50,000 dagols and can be bought at the General store
 near the Heliforde Gate, in Olacion.
- As for the party, accessories and skills it's really up to you which you
 like to have with as it's completely in your hands on how to beat them.

2.2. Things to Remember                                            | BF_2BS_2TR
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Here are some tips to use while fighting a tough opponent just in front of YOU:

1) Okay, this is the MOST IMPORTANT THING in the game so keep this in your
  mind. DON'T LET JACK DIE!!! If Jack dies, you're game over!!!
2) Always be ready all the time! The game doesn't show some save points as a
  safety measure that there is an upcoming boss. You will just know it when
  you're GAME OVER already. So be ready all the time.
3) Stock up items! You don't know what will happen in the future. In the
  beginning, it would be not too bad if you have at least 20 Herb Extract and
  some Celestial Nectar. Curing items would be good as well.
3) To avoid getting hit by a volty blast (except when you're only alone), let
  your teammates handle the rest. Just run away the rumble and you'll be fine.
  The Volty Blast would only affect the target not the whole party, so if you
  keep away from the boss you will never get hit by the attack but instead
  your teammate does.
4) Use command sometimes. It would be good to use command such as Cure Friend
  or Life Song to save the party. It can cost a lot of volty points but using
  Save Volty will really SAVE your volty :) It can be learn from Curtis in
  human side and Gobrey or Golly (not sure) in the non-human side.
5) If you can't defeat an enemy you might lack level ups. It's easy to level
  up in this game and in less than 45 minutes you can be level 50 or more!!!
  Here's the trick (it's widely known), use the dummy in Theater Vancoor on
  the 2F. Equip either spear or axe. Beat everything up to the Training No.19.
  With this, equip a training device or 2 then fight as much as your desired
  level.
6) According to NeonTwilight:

-Cool. Well this is a pretty good strategy that should work on most enemies.
It's basically a knockdown and quick attack strategy. It won't allow the enemy
to attack you and it's a slow and simple way to defeat the enemy. 1 Handed-
sword - Upper Slash, Right Slash. Knock the opponent in the air and then slash
immediately to do extra damage. Slow but effective.

-I found it a nice strategy. It would be better if you attack from behind with
the weapon skill (better if you have chained other combo before the Upper
Slash) to deal more damage on the enemy.
-Another good technique is to attack from your enemy's side or back then run
around delivering attacks. This works especially on monsters or opponents that
use magic as their main attack.

7) Defend and counter. It is one of the efficient ways to beat down a hard
  opponent. Take note that a little time after you counter), you will NOT take
  damage from any attacks. Good, huh?

8) Here's the NEW thing I've discover lately. The more hits you've done before
you use Volty Blast, the more damage you take execute. Proof: When I fought
the water dragon in the Dragon Lair Cave, I used attack link and kept attacking
I got 99 hits with Gil, JJ and Ganz with my party having my Arbitrator. Then
I used a Volty Blast giving Kelvin around 3600 damage!!! Larger than the
Ancient Axe which only deals 2800 damage without high hit combo.

So the tip is...try getting a high combo before you Volty Blast to deal more
damage to the enemy.

According to some people in the board, 1 hit gives you 1% increase in attack.
Just remember that when you get knockdown or the attack is idle for a long time
the hit meter will go back to 0.

9) I will add more in future updates. :)

This section covers everything in human side including before the split. So
let's get rocking and show them who rally rules the world of Radiata o_O Hope
we don't get a black eye :)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Goblin Trio -----> BF_2BS_3BHS_1GT
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Description: This is the first boss you'll ever meet and they are the easiest
            boss I've ever met in my life. They are Aesop, Monki and Gob if
            I'm not mistaken. They will start with a box link right away.
            Don't worry, someone will teach it to you later.

--------
Strategy
--------
Level: 10+
Weapon: Air Blade/Knight Edge
Armor: Trainee's Wear
Tactics: It's an easy one. Just break the box link by killing one of them and
        the rest would be in a jiffy goblin noodles?

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Crocogator -----> BF_2BS_3BHS_2C
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Description: This boss can be fought during the Crocogator mission. The first
            mission assigned to the Hecton Squad.

-----

HP:                                         EXP:
Resist: water                               Dagol:
Specialties: none                           Level:

--------
Strategy
--------
Level: 20+
Weapon: Brionac (can be bought at the Dead End Armory)/Medusa's Spear
Armor: Wind Garb (same as Brionac)
Tactics: It's not that really hard. Just stay and attack on its side to avoid
        taking damages. Let Jarvis take the beast as he were stronger than you
        or maybe you are stronger. Just keep attacking and heal if you have
        low life. This will not take long.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Mud Ponbabar -----> BF_2BS_3BHS_3MP
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Description: This boss battle happens during the creatures of the sewer mission
            . You will fight the Mud Ponbabar along with some mouse around 6,
            I guess.

-----

HP: 3150                                    EXP:

--------
Strategy
--------
Level: 30+
Weapon: Brionac/Medusa's Spear
Armor: Wind Garb
Tactics: Keep away from it as much as possible. Having some items or armors
        that nullify confuse or petrify would be appreciated. Kill the rats
        first as they will interfere your fight with the ponbabar. Run around
        its side or back and keep attacking. Let your teammates attack its
        front because it's too dangerous if you attack its front. Why? Cause
        some of its attack can confuse you or even worse, petrify you.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Gobbleshope IX -----> BF_2BS_3BHS_4GIX
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Description: This is during the Goblin Cemetery mission. Go to the Vareth
            Institute Library at the 3F of the building to know the password,
            Then go to Dorse Region. Run down the dungeon to fight this boss.

--------
Strategy
--------
Level: 30+
Weapon: Medusa's Spear/Rune Saber
Armor: Wind Garb
Tactics: He has some skeleton friends and they will not disappear until you
        kill GobbleHope X. It's quite annoying because he teleport a lot of
        time. Focus attacking him while your party is attacking those
        skeletons.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Melissa -----> BF_2BS_3BHS_5M
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Description: This is during the Ultimate Battle mission. Take the job and go to
            Echidna Gate in Vareth Institute.

-----

HP:                                         EXP:

Volty Blast: none                           Item:

--------
Strategy
--------
Level: 35+
Weapon: Medusa's Spear/Rune Saber
Armor: Wind Garb
Tactics: You will fight this one alone. The best way to beat this guy is to
        attack him while he's walking away, then run back away to avoid
        damage. It's called "hit-and-run." If he jumps, start running away
        so you will not get knockdown unless you have 100t body.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Rock Diggers -----> BF_2BS_3BHS_6RD
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Description: This boss is during the mission Gonovitch's Dilemma. Go to the
            tunnel that is blocked when you first came in Earth Valley. Run
            through everything and enter the final room. This initiates the
            boss battle. There are 2 of them so be ready. It's not easy as you
            think.

Specialties: none                           Level: 32
Volty Blast: none                           Item: Life Berry x2

--------
Strategy
--------
Level: 32+
Weapon: Rune Saber/Medusa's Spear
Armor: Wind Garb
Tactics: This one is hard so prepare. If you found yourself dead try to level
        up first then come back. They usually use the spin move that deals
        80+ damage so ouch if you're hp is low and they have descent hp. You
        are now a sergeant by this time so you've already learned some links.
        Probably, you need to learn the 100t body or complete defense. 100t
        body can be learned by linking with Jill and the complete defense by
        Grant. It helps you not to get knockdown. Just guard when you see
        their attacking stance to avoid getting killer damages. Heal often!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Trap Octopus -----> BF_2BS_3BHS_7TO
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Description: This boss is during the Stone of Miracles Mission. Follow the path

Armor: Wind Garb

        Later, he will show up his ugly face. This time you can damage the
        real enemy. Nothing is important in this fight only the blind effect
        it can give to you. This one's easy.

        you don't have them, use Cement Powder. Hit Natalie first until she
        turns into a stone then kill Leonard. Afterwards, kill Natalie before
        she uses her Volty Blast or if you have max volty take the chance and
        be the first one to use volty. Anyway, it's not that deadly since you
        have almost 900 hp while her volty takes only 600 damage.

        level, level up before going there. Level 55+ would not be bad. Since
        you have JJ/Galvados, Gil and Ganz in your party, let them attack her.

        If you see a fire starting to burn around her, run as far as you can.
        This signals she will use her Volty Blast, which deals 1900. Let
        someone in your friends take it. Then just heal him or restore his

        volty blast that means your dead (not game over I mean) even you have
        2000+ hp!!!

        If you want to win read this, he's a little pushover and will use his
        volty blast early in the battle. But he will lock the target on you
        so there's no escape. The best way to avoid it is to keep using
        volty attacks (SQUARE) to repel his volty.

Level: 70+
Weapon: Arbitrator/Falvern
Armor: Demon Mail/Alefstrain
Tactics: Well, this is a hard battle. Of course, it's the final boss or else...
        He has some sort of powerful attacks. His evasion rate is high so
        you will miss most of the time. He also has the skill auto-cure that
        adds his hp by 10/sec. so idling too long is not a good thing.

        Start the battle using Volty Blast or keep attacking until you got.
        The best way not to take damages is to run around his back and punish
        him there. His damage would range from 100-250+ so keep away from it!
        Whenever he flip/cover his wings on his body, run around to its back
        to prevent being hit by its (break parry, 200+ dam.) attack. If you
        guard it, as noted, you will get a break parry causing around 50 dam.
        It's better to take no damage.

        Some people are asking how to beat this guy; often you're under level
        that's why you had a hard time kicking his butt. Try leveling up first
        before fighting him. Around 60 should be fine.

Hooray!!! You've finished the game and beat all those bosses. Happy New Year to
Everyone!

2.5. Dragon Lair Cave                                             | BF_2BS_5DLC
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Okay, this time after beating the game, wait until the credits end then when
asked to overwrite your save, choose yes. Load and choose continue. Then go
onto any Journey Pig Statue and examine. This reveals the Dragon lair Cave
located on the upper-right part of the map.

After entering, Jack will introduce the dungeon or maybe someone else. Killing
and going back to Jack's House to save is one way to be sure that you wouldn't
lose any of your progress in it. I know that's very bad to backtrack all the
way but that's the truth.

Being on human side or non-human side is not a problem, you know. I prefer
using Elwen, Nyx, Valkyrie or Kain in your party. For the non-humans, Galvados,
JJ, Gil or Valkyrie in your party. I suggest after getting Valkyrie put her
right away in your party. Her attacks are good, affliction attacks and his high
formidable hp.

Level: 70+
Weapon: Arbitrator/Falvern/Ancient Axe

Tactics: This is the easiest boss I've ever met in my life. You could finish
        this battle without getting hit. Just use attack link as the battle
        start. Don't use volty blast keep it until you reach 99 hits in the
        combo counter. Keep attacking and attacking. Kelvin can't move or
        attack anymore. And when you reach 99 hits, break the line and use
        your volty blast with full power to deal around 4000! A great
        alternative is to use save volty before using a volty to avoid your
        VP reaching zero and then create an attack link again. The battle will
        end after using the tactic 3-5 times. Eventually, the battle takes
        faster or slower depending the overall attack of your party.

Tactics: Maybe you want to question why I don't recommend Ancient Axe? Because
        it's slow and its attacking range is very short so it's not an ideal
        weapon when fighting Cepheid.

        Like in Wind Valley (Human Side), you need to beat him 2 times. Same
        Hp and stats in both forms but different skills.

        1st form - he's outreach with your attacks and same with your
        teammates. Start by using Volty Blast equip with Ancient Axe and Full
        Power skill to bring his Hp somewhere at 5000. Now, all you have to do
        is to follow him around and keep attacking with your Falvern or
        Arbitrator. Arbitrator would be better because of its swift strikes.
        Guard when you see he moves his arms because he will use a tornado or
        a wind breathe to blow you away. The good thing is that his attacks
        rounds from 50-100 only.

        2nd form - well you can reach him now. Just use attack link and line
        break when your hp is around 800 to heal and then link again. Use
        volty blast whenever you reach 100 VP.

        accident. Don't small flat things or Jack will get flat! Guard and
        attack is useful here. Except blaze and bind, you should fear confuse.
        It was the thing that...oooopps, almost slip!!! Equipping Prevent
        Confuse as your skill will save your life. Bringing Cleansing Stone
        or Sage is a very good thing.

        Start by using Volty Blast right away with ancient axe. His attacks
        are unpredictable and when you get hit, take 150-300 dam. From it!
        He starts to jump and cause status affect to everyone it hits.
        Guarding would prevent you from knocking down and less damage but
        would not prevent getting affected by the affliction. It's either
        blaze, bind or confuse. If you get blaze, use sage or cooling spray.
        If you get bind, just shake the left analog stick to repel it. If
        you get confuse, it's either you get hit, wait until it's gone or
        you get die. Pressing double X (back step) would be good to evade.
        Just remember: Volty, Attack, Heal Often, and Guard (VAHOG).

Tactics: After the return of the champ, it's now to take the championship belt.
        You have your party with you and he's kind of alone. Like other bosses
        use volty blast. He will guard almost every time. If you attack him
        and he counters (break parry), he will do a straight plunge breaking
        your parry. Avoid that by running on his side. He also has a combo
        attack and it's unstoppable! It deals 1000+ damage to anyone it
        touches. It's not a volty of course. Instead of looking in its
        wonderful-swift-good-looking-majestic blows, you want to pummel him
        now because the other 3 (one maybe you) are open to attack Cairn.
        He's vulnerable to any attack that time.

        Nothing is special here only the son meets his daddy.

        :) Who agrees!?

        Ahem...let's continue. Even she's a nice girl, she will not be very
        nice to you if you're not ready what she will do to you. Be ready to
        have plenty flexibility lotion or sage for the petrify or paralyze
        stuff. You will know if she will use it if she charges up her bow.
        Yeah, only her bow can inflict status effect and the other 3 are just
        normal. It takes 2-3 seconds before she unleash so you have a chance

        First of all, he's using ling range attacks. Second, he can inflict
        blaze which you don't want. Scale armor would help and bring along
        some cooling spray or sage for your pals. He will be guarding almost

below, get to the edge of screen, and DO NOT attack her, she uses the
Armageddon attack around 4 times a minute that can kill you easily. Once you
get your Volty up, use you're volty. DO NOT GO TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ARENA!
That's where most of the huge spots where Armageddon appear. Bring lots of
Herb Extract MAX's with you, and a few revival stone. Get your characters
to level 85+.

Own explanation:
-I'm not sure about "TOO HOT FOR YOU" cause I know if she says that, she will
start to cast flaming stones around her which explodes around 3 meters from
her. It deals 300+ (she throws around 20) but only 30+ when guarded. For the
Armageddon or the white explosions, it cause 700-1000+ that can easily kill
your character with just 2-3 hits. Guarding would give you 100+ damage but
your friends are too stupid to guard. Even Valkyrie can die in just 30 seconds
with this attack *sobs*. I suggest using guard link with Fierce Defense to
replenish its damages and to avoid getting your party killed. Staying on the
edge of the screen would be the best strategy to avoid this attack if you
don't have enough VP to use guard link. If your party gets killed, revive them
with Celestial Nectars and use Revival Stone or Herb Extract Max.
-Whenever you reach 1500hp or less, heal it immediately.
-Here's a very nice strategy too posted by an unknown person (I forgot sorry),
it's not that too expensive, not painful and less item to use. I tried it
myself and it work but I still met some problem. Here it goes:

+Having Elwen/Nyx/Kain/Valkyrie/Curtis for human side
+Having Gruel/Galvados/JJ/Valkyrie/Gil for the non-human side
+I prefer Elwen (day)/ Nyx (night), Kain for Auto-Cure, Valkyrie for Absorb HP
+I prefer Galvados/JJ for high HP, Valkyrie (she's pretty, lucky charm :)) and
Gil for good attacks
+Having Fierce Defense or Complete Defense and Save Volty/Full Power/Fighting
Spirit
+Having Guard Link
+Having Tri-Emblem (New Game+)
+All skills are max out
+Strongest weapon, probably Ancient Axe

-Start by using Volty with either Save Volty or Full Power. Full power for
maximum damage (Ancient Axe), or Save Volty for safeties.
-Next use Guard Link with your remaining 10 VP. If you don't have enough VP,
attack her first and guard if necessary.
