The Tactics Guide is intended solely for use as a "Companion
Edition" to the two existing walkthroughs on the Game FAQ Site.
2. Introduction
Please note that the Tactics Guide does not recap the game story
or provide a full walkthrough for Wizardry. It is a support tool,
and by no means exhaustive, as there are many ways in which to play
Wizardry. The methods outlined here are simply designed to
maximize players' chances of survival and their enjoyment of the
game.
3. Beginner Tips
While there are two walkthroughs that offer technical directions,
the following Guide offers hints on HOW to survive the journey.
Movement & Combat
-----------------
Always begin as a Warrior for greater HP and use of better
armour + weapons.
Always place the strongest character on the left of the front row
as the monsters have a general tendency to attack that character.
Occasionally the Party will be stopped to converse with an NPC
and advance the story. Be ready to move quickly when the cut scene
ends as a monster may now be behind the Party.
If several party members are only a small amount of XP away from
their next level, expend any remaining spells in the final fight
as they are replenished after resting at the Lodgings.
Stamina will always be at full at the start of a level. A Party
can therefore expend all Stamina fleeing a foe such as the Reaper
in order to reach a Level exit, and have it instantly replenished
at the beginning of the next Level.
Try and equip the Party's Back Row with projectile weapons as
soon as is possible. Michele provides a Magic Crossbow on B2.
Together with 2 Throwing Knives this can make a considerable
difference.
The key to survival is constant use of the Allied Actions. The Party
must become adept at using the Primary AA's quickly:
Offensive -
DOUBLE SLASH
END SLASH
RUSH
WARP ATTACK
Defensive -
DEPLOY
RESTRICT SHOT
SPELL CANCEL
NOTE!
STUN ATTACK is very effective against Giants, with the Spell ASH being
almost 100% effective against Poison Giants.
Experimentation with the Secondary AA's is risky, as combat on all
levels usually requires an element of both attacking and defending -
hence the reliance on the Primary set. Also note that once the Party
reaches the advanced stage - Level 40 + - most AA's become unnecessary
as Individual Attacks are usually strong enough to kill most monsters.
Where possible always target the humanoid monster icons as the
Class-based monsters (e.g. Ninjas) yield the most varied
equipment.
Status Weapons - equip as many as possible. While not necessarily the
strongest weapons in the game, they will incapacitate monsters and
prevent attacks.
The Invisible Flail (PARALYSIS) and the Elf Crossbow (SLEEP) have a
high success rate and are effective against even the stronger monsters.
Once a monster is incapacitated, target ANOTHER monster rather than
finishing the first monster off. Status Effects - unlike the AA STUN
ATTACK - last for the duration of combat, so it is advantageous
to limit the potential number of monster attacks on the following round.
The Reaper cannot pursue the Party across levels.
A Party member possessed by the Reaper can effect Undead with any
weapon.
Although extremely rare, Greater Demons ARE susceptible to an
Instant Kill.
Even though the Party may clear a room of monsters, the Labyrinth
will eventually generate more, with it being possible a monster to
materialize behind the Party.
Spells
------
Learn and level up FEAL (Priest Spell) and TEAL (Sorcerer Spell)
as quickly as possible. These two spells are essential for
low-level parties.
Recommended Materials:
FEAL -
Slime's Goo x Slime's Goo
Slime's Goo x Broken Sword
Broken Sword x Bogey Cat's Fur
TEAL -
Frog Tongue x Frog Tongue
Bogey Bird's Claw x Frog Tongue
Frog Tongue x Pixie's Wing
All are easily obtainable.
TEAL is invaluable if needing to eliminate rows of monsters
(eg. Giant Spiders, Stone Flies) quickly. Kyo's high agility will
allow a first attack.
When making materials, focus on developing offensive spells. When
finding Magical Stones for defensive spells, have them separated as
this can yield useful ingredients.
Once completing the "Help My Boyfriend" Quest, starting selling and
the purchasing in bulk those materials needed to level up useful\
spells such as TEAL.
If returning to Town and several Quests have been completed, go to
the Tavern BEFORE the Lodgings as the reward XP from Quests may level
up Party members and save an extra trip back.
ALWAYS save after any lengthy sessions in Town fulfilling Quests,
buying + selling and dealing in magic stones BEFORE going back into
the Labyrinth.
NOTE!
Always save before trying to resurrect a character as there is a
chance the spell will fail and the character will turn to ash. If the
spell fails a second time, the character is gone
forever. By saving, this can be avoided.
NOTE!
Materials:
While the primary purpose of monster materials is the creation of
Magic Stones, each material can also be used individually to cast a
spell during combat.
It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to have 2-3 materials that
cast the strongest spells equipped as Items (e.g. Dragon's Tail),
as even if a non-spellcaster they will be able to attack with the
Item.
Group 1
-------
Rotten Meat - casts YAIBA on one character
Skull - casts CONAIRU on Party
Devil's Horn - casts CONKOWT on front/back row of Party
Vampire Claw - casts ZAKULD on one row of monsters
Undead Dragon Wing - casts FORCE on one monster
Pied Piper's Flute - casts STIGMA
Group 2
-------
Giant's Tooth - casts JISCORT on Party
Giant's Guts - casts DAIBA on Party
Giant's Blood - casts AMOK on one row of monsters
Dragon Heart - casts FEALDS on front/back row on Party
Dragon Scale - casts SABARRETS on one monster
Dragon Tail - casts JAKULD
Group 3
-------
Bogey Cat's Fur - casts BLESS on one character
Bogey Bird's Claw - casts BARRETS on one monster
Frog Tongue - casts TEAL on one row of monsters
Wyvern Eyeball - casts KULD on one row of monsters
Hound's Ear - casts JAKRETA on one row on monsters
Chimera's Head - casts STIPYL on one row of monsters
Group 4
-------
Slime's Goo - casts FEAL on one character
Pixie Wing - casts HARDY on one character
Demon's Egg - casts ZAIBA on front/back row of Party
Cocoon - casts DELPUS on one row of monsters
Slime Jelly - casts LAFEAL on one character
Fairy's Wing - casts DIPPS
Group 5
-------
Broken Sword - casts CRETA on one monster
Thief's Blood - casts KOWT on one character
Ninja's Hood - casts CONAIR on front/back row of Party
Priest's Hair - casts SAFEAL on one character
Sorcerer's Earring - casts ZATEAL on one row of monsters
Samurai's Beard - casts ZAKRETA on one row of monsters
Bishop's Bracelet - casts JATEAL
Special Items
-------------
Incubus Wing - casts LEAP
Golem's Flesh - casts NIRVANA
Sword Fragment - casts CATHEDRAL
Red Moon:
A Red Moon is not only the ideal time to combine materials but to also
SEPARATE materials. Combining two lower order materials and then
separating them may cause the materials to split and morph into higher
order materials from one or both of the original materials' groups, OR
into materials from another group entirely.
Example 1:
---------
ROTTEN MEAT + SKULL (both from Group 1) = CONAIRU Stone
Separating could = SKULL + PIED PIER'S FLUTE
(both still from Group 1)
Separating could = SLIME JELLY + FAIRY'S WING (both from Group 4)
By using this strategy during a Red Moon the Party can acquire
several rare materials very early on in the game. These can be used
in two ways:
i) Combat Items
At least 2 of each is recommended:
Pied Piper's Flute - STIGMA
Giant's Guts - DAIBA
Dragon's Tail - JAKULD
ii) Saved for "Change My Boyfriend" Quest
By immediately selling the rare materials to the Merchant, the Party
can then have an unlimited supply at an earlier stage of the game.
Once the Party have completed the "Change My Boyfriend" Quest, spend
several sessions going from the Materials Shop to Vigger's in Town
to level up all spells via the stones.
NOTE!
While a complete set of materials will allow the Party to make a
Stone for any spell, the strongest spells - Level 6-7 - will be
unavailable until at least one spellcaster is at an appropriate level
to use the Stone.
Another method for obtaining some rare materials is to successfully
disarm Gotz's traps at Level 5 - which yields five mutated stones.
Separating these into individual materials will provide an Undead
Dragon's Wing and Pied Piper's Flute.
General
-------
i) When ready to recruit extra Party Members, return to Bar Luna Light
and access the Recruit option. Pressing R1 will reveal the next page.
Note that if there are already six in the Party (the maximum) then a
Party member must be dismissed before recruiting
another.
Characters can be created as once the Party learn AA’s.
ii) Redo Gotz's Level One trap to collect free Transfer Potions
(3 per successful attempt)
NOTE!
An easy way to obtain all items from Gotz is to when possible have
three Thieves in the party (which is possible via Class Orbs, with
a reversion to original classes after) and simply make repeated
trips to Gotz, then Town and return. Each Thief present reduces
the number of buttons on screen by 2, making even the last level
easy to bypass.
iii) Boost Trust:
To boost Trust faster, use equipment with a Special Power to change a
character's alignment so it matches the rest of the Party. It may be
necessary to use an Orb to change the character's class to use an item
allowng an alignment change. After the change has been effected, use an
Orb again to have the character revert to their original class.
Since the Party Leader doesn't have a Trust rating, they can carry many
of the more powerful Cursed items and not have Trust reduced.
CORRECTION: Stone mutations - while very rare - are possible during a
normal phase of the Moon.
iv) Bad LucK:
From the outset the game pits intelligent foes against the Party, and
as such the beginner may find character deaths are commonplace - hence
the presence of Salem Temple. While this Guide does offer constructive
advice about gameplay and maximising a Party's chances of survival,
there is no guarantee in actual combat. The game can generate
scenarios over which the player has no control, such as:
The Party being automatically surprised despite walking into a
monster icon.
A monster targeting a Front Row character not protected by a Defensive
AA such as RESTRICT SHOT.
Two or more monsters using Spells (the Party can only use SPELL CANCEL
once per round until attaining Trust at Level 8).
A monster scoring an Instant Kill or Status Effect then Critical Hit
on a character.
4. Tactical Walkthrough
Levels B1-B3:
------------
B1
Initially place Kyo on Front Row Right as he can support the
Team Leader and Ricardo's attacks with spells. This becomes
vital later when the AA DOUBLE SLASH has been learnt.
Immediately return to Town after fighting the Kobolds to level
up for the first time.
Avoid the Bogey Cat (large Cat icon) until at least Level 3 as
the attacks are quite damaging.
Collect Sara from the Imperial Quarters and be at least Level 3
BEFORE visiting the room opposite (has a skeleton against the far
wall) for the first time as the two Thieves hiding there have a
Surprise Attack on the Party. This is essentially two free rounds
of attacks before the Party may retaliate.
Visit the large segmented chamber where Pei Pei's Books are and
meet another Party for the Betrayal Sword. Have the Party Leader
equip this weapon as while cursed - Faith is reduced - it does
a significant amount of damage against monsters on the B1 level.
The 2,000 GP required to Lift Curse at Vigger's Shop is easily
affordable after more exploration. Have Kyo equip the Party Leader's
Long Sword.
Be at least Level 5-6 before reaching the Sword Master - after
learning the first two AA's a fight with Virgo follows. Levelling
ensures that party members can survive Virgo's CRETA spell.
As the Sword Master restores all HP + MP after each AA Trial, Kyo can
use the spell TEAL to great effect. TEAL is particularly effective
against the Orcs as the spell will kill a row of Orcs and reduce
their numbers by half. A successful attack by the Team Leader and
Ricardo respectively will then deplete Orc ranks further and
reduce the damage incurred by a RUSH.
As a Level 3 Samurai (Large Humanoid icon) can be found in the Main
Chamber (source of the Reaper in B1) be sure to use RESTRICT SHOT.
Appropriate sequence of events after defeating Virgo:
Climb the stairs and trigger the first encounter with the Hobbit.
Return to Town and recover.
PARTY CHANGE:
Recruit Cerazyn (Priest) and either Creo (Sorcerer) or Calo (Thief)
from the Bar Luna Light. Cerazyn is essential at this point as another
Priest means extra healing, while the remainig choice is between extra
Spellpower (Creo) or a very fast attack turn (Calo).
Obtain Pass to B2 from LeDua Almsay.
Accrue enough XP to level up Cerazyn and Creo at least once.
Return to the Main Chamber and trigger a Reaper encounter. Let it
possess a Party member.
Return to the Hobbit's location and trigger the second encounter to
unlock the top door at entry level.
Meet Rui and defeat Undead Kobold. Show the Elven Soldier the Pass.
Enter B2 and access the Reaper Door to obtain the Healing Vellum.
If the Possessed Party member is one of the strongest characters,
move through and trigger the first encounter with Rui on the second
floor of B2, then return and visit Salem's Temple. If the Possessed
character is one of the weakest characters (e.g. Sara), return to
Town as soon as the Healing Vellum has been obtained.
B2
Be VERY careful in moving around B2 as from this level onwards the
Party cannot afford to be attacked from behind. Always listen for the
presence of monsters before exiting doorways and rounding corners.
Note that in B2 the Party may hide and recover in cavities accessed by
smashing through false walls. Monsters will not enter.
Ensure the Party have learnt the AA SPELL CANCEL BEFORE activating
the Elevator and returning the bridge to access the new area. This
AA is ESSENTIAL when fighting the first Boss - the Reaper.
When speaking with LeDua Almsay regarding the Missing Unit, ask for
the Magic Stone and receive the Sabarrets Stone, a powerful Level 4
Priest spell.
PARTY CHANGE:
Replace Creo or Calo with Rui (Thief). Recruiting characters with a
higher Trust rating will allow the Party to learn new AA's.
B3
Once Daniel the Thief has given the Party the Guiding Vellum, obtain the
materials for the Maps spell on B1-B2. The MAPS spell will be needed to
navigate B3.
If the Maps Spell does not reveal the exit to B4, then the Party must
enter one of the rooms and find the path leading up/down to another level.
The Priest encounter: if choosing an Unlucky Card, immediately use a
Transfer Potion to Town or ascend the stairs to B2 if nearby and
it will render the imminent bad luck null and void.
Anne-Marie's Party: they will ask the Party to enter into a competition
to see which party can kill the most monsters. Agree and kill at least
8 monsters. Stay away from the stairs to B4 until completed, and then
as a reward ask for a CARCASS Stone. This can then be given to the Pixie
on B5 for a Crimson Ring.
Breath Weapons: B3 is the first level with a monster - the Gas Dragon -
with this ability. The strength of the Breath Weapon is always a good
indication of the monster's remaining HP. To counter a monster with a
Breath Weapon use the AA STUN ATTACK + DOUBLE SLASH. Kyo should initiate
the STUN ATTACK as due to his high Agility he will attack first.
Levels B4-B6:
------------
B4
Using the Forsetti map, have the Party fall through some pitfalls to access
all chests and Quest areas. There is a pitfall with a timer that must be
used at least once on the far side of the Cemetery (just outside the
enclosed court yard where you meet Daniel and fight the three Thieves).
In the underground room are two skeletons. Next to the skeletons is a sack
containing Gustav’s Shield.
Where possible always move into visible pitfalls backwards, as this way the
Party will always land with their backs to a wall and will not be surprised
and attacked from behind.
The initial priorities on B4 are:
a) Completion of the Palo, Rose and Gustav Quests.
The Party should return to Town to level up as the XP for Quest completion
are considerable. Finding Gustav's Shield is the cue for returning to Town.
Complete the Quests BEFORE fighting Kulgan.
b) Find the B4 Key.
Complete this AFTER returning from Town and BEFORE fighting Kulgan in
case a trip to Salem Temple is needed.
SAVE the ASH CHARM obtained after completing Palo’s Quest as it will
needed on B5.
Look for the Insect icon on B4 and practice fighting the Huge Spiders
as they will be major foes on B5.
If looking for Dragon Hearts, the Dragon icon can almost always be
found in the underground area with the locked door to B2 and the room
where Kulgan is first encountered.
The Party must all be at least Level 10-11 before attempting B5.
CORRECTION
The Forsetti map of B4 has an incorrect listing. The B4 Key for the
locked door leading to B2 is not found at A14. As per the Forsetti
map, the correct location is east of A4 and four squares down. Using
Forsetti’s map it is possible to plot a safe course from the first
door the Party exit from when emerging from the lower levels.
The Giorgio encounter is north of this door.
B5
Accessing B5 will create the Materials Shop in the Merchant Room.
Start collecting materials immediately as once sold to the Merchant
each material will always be available.
Before going to B5, be sure to have at least 4 Antidotes in case the
Party are poisoned in an encounter with the Huge/Giant Spiders.
Use the Material Shop to level up Rui's spell ZAIBA to maximum
(Level 10). This will be invaluable when fighting the Lesser Demon and
Virgo for the second time.
Initially stay on the First Floor and spend time levelling up the Party.
Complete Helga’s second Quest (Hound's Ear) as soon as is possible and
return to Town.
NOTE!
As per Forsetti’s map, the following areas should be explored carefully,
as it is possible to land on a monster or worse yet have a monster drop
on the Party for a surprise attack.
a) Floor 3 - the ring shaped room off 14. A chute leads to a room with
two doors on the same level.
b) Floor 6 - the room to the side of the stairs leading to B6. There is
a pit in the centre of the room leading to an open area and passage up
to the other side of Floor 6.
c) The Gondola - once it has been sent to Floor 1, there is a small drop
down to Floor 6.
The initial priorities on B5 are:
a) Purchase a Bishop Orb to change Sara from a Priest to Bishop. The use
of additional Sorcerer Spells and instant Appraisals will be invaluable.
Change the Party Leader's class from Warrior to Knight when able to
afford a Knight's Orb.
b) Activate the Magic Fountain - battles on B5 are wearing and a rest
point to completely recover is needed. The Fountain will also cure an
Abnormal Status such as Poison.
c) Take Stairs to B1 - depress the block to open the altar on B1 and
create a short cut to B5.
NOTE!
The Geese Quest.
BE SURE to have the CARCASS Stone obtained from Ann-Marie's party on B3,
beforeapproaching the Pixie's door on Floor 2 (location 8 on Forsetti's
map).
The Party can then trade the Carcass Stone and receive a Crimson Ring
(has power of Regeneration) from the Pixie BEFORE fighting the Lesser
Demon.
If the Party access B6 then return to B5 and approach the Pixie, it will
have already found a Stone and offer nothing. The materials for the
Carcass Stone can also all be found on B3
(Bishop's Bracelet + Dragon's Heart + Priest's Hair).
There are several materials scattered throughout the Water Fall:
a) Floor One: Demon’s Egg - in bucket in Kasta’s Room.
b) Floor Three: Ninja's Hood - on crate in room with drop chute.
c) Floor Four: Cocoon - on mound of dirt in the open area where stairs
to B1 are located.
d) Floor Five: Priest’s Hair - on crate in room with the Black Chest.
The second set of rail tracks lead out of this room.
Use the Osafune found in the Yellow Chest on Floor 5 to change Ricardo
to a Samurai. Like Kyo, Ricardo will now be able to effect an occasional
“instant kill.”
Omission from Forsetti's Map: there is a Red Chest in the square room on
Floor 4.
Reaper possession: try for this on the bottom of B5 and reach the Reaper
Door on B6. The Spirited Shuriken is invaluable when equipped on Kyo.
PARTY CHANGE: Replace Cerazyn with MICHELE (Sorcerer) & Rui with Hina
(Samurai).
B6
Entering B6 activates Helga’s last Quest. An easy way to deal with this
is to backtrack to earlier levels and search for more monster materials.
The required 30 battles will expire very quickly.
The Party MUST level up two spells before progressing through this level:
DAIBA - at least one character must have Mastery. Hina is recommended.
FEALDS - at least one character must possess Rank 30. Sara is recomended.
These spells are imperatives as the Party must fight both an Incubus and
a Greater Demon on B6.
When fighting Bosses on B6 and down, each character MUST have a Curing
Potion equipped. This will be invaluable when the Back Row are occupied
with an AA such as Restrict Shot or Spell Cancel.
The priorities on B6 are:
a) Access the Reaper Door then return to Salem Temple to cure.
b) Defeat the Incubus then return to Town to recover.
c) Defeat the Greater Demon.*
* NOTE!
The Greater Demon is significantly stronger than the other monsters on
this level. It is therefore recommended that the Party NOT include Hina
when about to descend to B7. By doing this, the encounter can be
bypassed temporarily and returned to once the Party is stronger -
ideally the end of B8.
Note that the Party will need to have levelled up several times before
being strong enough to push all the way through to the end of B6.
Omissions from Forsetti's Map:
a) Behind the entry stairs there will almost always be a Chest containing
a random item.
b) The U-shaped passage behind and opposite the entry stairs has a
cutscene. The Party assist Arabella + Taiga in defeating a group of Ogres
(the Party will fight 3). Arabella will then restore all HP/cure any
Abnormal Status and give the Party a Mana Quartz.
c) A cutscene will be triggered just outside 2, where the Party encounter
Orphe and Aoba again. There is also a second cutscene with the two NPC's
and a fight with four Fairies.
It takes places in a square room to the south of the one-way door (the
Party must travel through) opposite the room where Kaza is encountered.
The Light-Up Vellum is also found here.
d) Black Chests - there are 2. The first is at the end of the small
L-shaped corridor, and the second is in the room behind the northernmost
door.
There are several materials scattered throughout the Moldy Fort:
a) Bishop’s Bracelet - on the Barrels at the end of the U-shaped
passage.
b) Demon's Egg - in the Reaper room.
c) Priest's Hair - in the Reaper room.
At least two characters need to have mastered POIZKEA before exploring
the poisoned corridors at the end of B6.
Open the chests in the large room with poisoned squares and then move down
the end of the ramp and open the chests at the base of the stairs BEFORE
using an Antidote, Curing Potion or POIZKEA so the Party will only have to
cure the Poison Status once.
As per Forsetti’s map if at 8 wait at the opposing end of the corridor for
the portal to open. This prevents monsters dropping down from the opening
above the corridor and surprising the Party.
After B6, the game become rushed and it is possible for the Party
to descend several levels quickly. It is recommended that the Party stay on
B6 and continue levelling up before moving to B7. Find the Spider icons as
the Giant Spiders and Red Slimes yield the most experience.
Levels B7-B10:
------------
B7
Once the Party have reached B7, access B8 immediately as this will open a
portal on B1 directly to B8 and save unnecessary transit time.
Once the Party is strong enough be sure to explore all rooms on levels B7
as valuable items can be found in Chests.
B8
When using the B1 teleporter to B8, be prepared to move immediately to the
far end of the hall as there may be a monster right behind the Party.
When on B8 use Forsetti’s map and make constant use of the Crystals to
restore HP + MP and cure any Abnormal Status.
When in the final Hall of B8, move down the sides of the room to avoid the
rotating squares.
Walking into the final Hall of B8 almost always triggers a Reaper
appearance.
PARTY CHANGE: Replace Ricardo with Kulgan (Ninja).
CORRECTION
The Resurrection Vellum is found on this level, with the proper ingredients
needed for a CATHEDRAL Stone being Bishop's Bracelet + Slime Jelly +
FAIRY'S WINGS - not Pixie's Wings as listed in the Forsetti walkthrough.
B9
Find the exit to B10 quickly as a portal will again be opened on B1 leading
to B10. It is strongly recommended that the Party continue levelling on B8
and B9 before entering B10 proper.
Many of the rooms on this level can contain Chests with highly useful items
(eg. Megadeath Stone)
CORRECTION
The Party can encounter Gimrey the Sorcerer during any phase of the Moon.
It does not have to be Red.
B10
At this stage the Party should be making trips back and forth from the
Materials Shop to Vigger’s Shop to level up spells. The following spells
MUST be levelled and ideally mastered to boost the Party's attack
strength. Many of the monsters on B10 have very damaging attacks and if
at all possible should be killed on the first round.
Priest Spells:
AMOK (Party Leader + Sara)
FEALDS (Party Leader + Sara)
STIGMA (Sara)
Sorcerer Spells:
DAIBA (Hina + Michele)DIPPS (Hina + Michele)
JAKULD (Hina + Michele)
As a Chest almost always appears in the entry room of B10, the Party should
move between B9 and B10 several times to accrue useful items such as Curing
Potions and Magic Stones.
Once B10 is opened up, the Party can backtrack for new discoveries:
Complete B4 again to meet Orphe and Aoba and gain the AA Warp Attack.
Visit Floor 6 of B5 to access the now drained stairs and portal to B8,
where the Party will meet Grace and Wolfe and fight a Raver Lord.
Once the Party have found the Blazing Vellum, the spell MEGADEATH should be
raised to Mastery level by at least two characters.
If the Party proceed any further than the second Red Chest in the final
Hall,
the Reaper encounter is triggered.
Dimension World
---------------
As per Forsetti’s map, the final Vellum - Conversion - can be found on
Floor 2 of Dimension World.
Make return visits as new Chests will appear. Multiple Katannas - such as
the Osafune and Kikuichmonji - can be a common find.
The Abyss
---------
Use the Zombie Pharmacist. This NPC will always appear soon after the party
arrive on an Abyss level. If depleted of Potions/Antidotes soon after
arriving, simply exit then reenter the level and the NPC will reappear.
Corpsa Lodge is randomly located in a room on each level. It may take
some exploration to find it.
Maximum HP and Spell Mastery are necessary for exploration of the Abyss.
Although the Jerrold Ng walkthrough does overrate many of the monsters,
the party must guard against the unexpected. While strong characters can
with tactical use of the AA's defeat most monsters quickly, there is
always the possibility of a surprise attack. A surprise attack by Greater
monsters can make maximum HP vital as they may score two free attacks
before the party recovers.
These monsters require particular attention and should not be
underestimated:
Equip as many Cursed Items as is possible on one character, preferably
a Warrior, Knight or Samurai for maximum effect. By completing Gotz's
traps at the 10th and final level, the Party can receive all Cursed
items as a reward.
b) The Reaper-Possessed Party
Best attempted from B9 by entering and exiting the final Hall in B8.
Once the entire Party are possessed the entire screen will be blood
red and visibility will be reduced. All normal AA's are lost in
favour of the Reaper AA's as listed in the Jerrold Ng walkthrough.
If attempting this feat journey to and from the point of Reaper
activation on B8 down the sides of the Hall. Once successful it is
recommended that the Party do not journey any lower than B6 as a
character death will be permanent.
c) Acquire the Special Spells
Once the Moon is Red, immediately return to Town and sell all
unnecessary items then save. Go straight to the Materials Shop and
purchase the following combinations, then apply at Vigger's Shop:
Rotten Meat x Priest's Hair - attempt to make a BARRETS Stone for
ASH (Mastered Level 1) Level 5: Sorcerer Spell
Skull x Priest's Hair - attempt to make a TEAL Stone for ASH
Devil's Horn x Priest's Hair - attempt to make a TEAL Stone for
SHULARD (Maximum Rank 20) Level 5: Priest Spell
Vampire Claw x Priest's Hair - attempt to make a KULD Stone for
PUNISH (Mastered Level 1) Level 6: Sorcerer Spell
Undead Dragon Wing x Priest's Hair - attempt to make a KULD Stone for
MERCIFUL (Mastered Level 1) Level 6: Priest Spell
Pied Piper's Flute x Priest's Hair - attempt to make a JAKRETA Stone
for DEADLY (Maximum Rank 10) Level 6: Priest Spell
Note that these material combinations under a Red Moon will always
yield the Special Spells - there is no need to purchase multiple
quantities in case an attempt fails.
d) Find Gimrey the Sorcerer
A rare but possible encounter on B9. Gimrey will offer a magical item
if the Party will sacrifice a character, who is then lost forever. If
the Party refuse, Gimrey will summon two Fire Dragons to attack the
Party. If the Party win Gimrey will raise all HP by 20 permanently.
e) Steal from Smiley's Shop
Once the Party are all Level 30+, shed all GP (constantly buying and
using Revival/Curing Potions can assist here) and attempt to steal
from Smiley's Shop by purchasing an item the Party can't afford.
This will summon 4 Maelifics, who if killed will yield:
120,113 XP
20,000 GP
If the Party win, the two pouches and boxes will disappear. The sign
will remain but change and now read:
"Due to an unexpected raid by heartless adventurers, the Smiley Shop
has been forced to close. Excuse us for the inconvenience."
Note the Party MUST have Trust at Rank 8 so as to be able to perform
two SPELL CANCEL per round as the Maelifics in the rear will attempt
to cast MEGADEATH.
f) Defeat an Elder Demon (Abyss encounter)
Elder Demons are greenish-yellow but otherwise similar in appearance
to the Greater Demon and Maelific. These Demons, however, have three
times the HP and attacking power of a Greater Demon.
g) Defeat Nine Tail (Abyss encounter)
The strongest individual monster in the game. Nine Tail can be found
on Floor B10 of the Abyss and then on every 10th floor that follows.
There will always be a room with a long entrance corridor lined with
candles that ends at an Oriental altar. Nine Tail is encased in the
glowing ball of energy on the altar and will emerge once the Party
arrive.
Note that Nine Tail will respawn once the party leave the floor.
Once the party is strong enough, it is possible keep returning to
the floor and after recovering in Corpsa Lodge battle Nine Tail for
the XP.
5. Boss Tactics
There are 7 Bosses in the game, two of which are Side Quest
related.
Reaper - Minor form + 2 Undead (Zombies)
-----
Boss Abilities: Physical (Sword)
Spells
Underworld Cry (causes FEAR)
Recommended Party level: 6-7
Recommended Configuration:
1. Team Leader 2. Ricardo 3. Kyo
4. Sara 5. NPC** 6. Rui
To win this battle decisively, the Party must first recruit Rui,
as an AA she brings with her higher Trust is SPELL CANCEL.
Suggested tactics:
1st Round:
---------
Team Leader - Ricardo : DOUBLE SLASH
Kyo : Cast TEAL to kill Undead
Sara/NPC : SPELL CANCEL
Rui: Cast ZAIBA on Front Row
2nd Round:
---------
Team Leader - Ricardo : Repeat Tactic
Kyo: Cast TEAL again if Undead still
standing or physical attack on
Reaper
Sara: Heal Spells + Aids
NPC/Rui: SPELL CANCEL
Repeat and the Reaper should be defeated by Round 4. If the
Reaper uses its special weapon - Underworld Cry - then it may
take longer as effected characters may try to flee.
2. Incubus + 2 Undead (Spirits) or Priests/Priestesses
-------
Boss Abilities: Physical Attacks
Spells
Poison Breath
Recommended Party level: 14-15
Recommended Configuration:
1. Hina 2. Team Leader 3. Ricardo
4. Sara 5. Kyo 6. Michele
1st Round:
---------
Hina: Cast DAIBA on Front Row
Team Leader - Ricardo : DOUBLE SLASH
Sara/Kyo : SPELL CANCEL
Michele: Use material such as Dragon's Tail
(casts JAKULD) to kill Undead or
Priests/Priestesses
2nd Round:
---------
Hina: Physical attack or use Curing
Potion on Party member if needed
Team Leader/Ricardo: DOUBLE SLASH
Sara/Kyo : SPELL CANCEL
Michele : Cast DAIBA on Front Row
OR...
Sara : Cast FEALDS on one Row
Kyo/Michele: SPELL CANCEL
With two castings of DAIBA and an occasional CRITICAL HIT it is possible
to defeat the Incubus by Round 4. If the Incubus attempts Spells first
this will work to the Party's advantage.
Note that while possible to defeat the Incubus at a slightly lower level,
the Party need to be strong enough to withstand the Incubus' Poison
Breath should it be used.
3. Greater Demon *
-------------
Boss Abilities: Physical Attacks (can cause Paralysis)
Spells
Recommended Party level: 14-15
Recommended Configuration:
1. Hina 2. Team Leader 3. Ricardo
4. Sara 5. Kyo 6. Michele
1st Round:
---------
Hina: Cast DAIBA on Front Row
Team Leader - Ricardo : DOUBLE SLASH
Sara/Kyo : SPELL CANCEL
Michele: Cast DAIBA on Front Row
2nd Round:
---------
Hina: Physical attack or use Curing Potion
on Party member if needed
Team Leader/Ricardo: DOUBLE SLASH on Greater Demon
Sara/Kyo : SPELL CANCEL
Michele : Cast DAIBA on Front Row OR
Curing Potion on Party member if
needed
With two castings of DAIBA and an occasional CRITICAL HIT it is
possible to defeat the Greater Demon by Round 4-5. If the Greater
Demon attempts Spells first this will work to the Party's advantage.
Note that Curing Potions are a MUST as the Greater Demon does large
physical damage.
Michele : Use material such as Dragon's Tail
(casts JAKULD) to kill Undead or
Ninja
2nd Round:
---------
Hina : Physical attack or use Curing Potion
on Party member if needed
Team Leader/Ricardo : DOUBLE SLASH on Golem
Sara/Kyo : SPELL CANCEL
Michele : Use material if necessary OR
Cast DAIBA OR
Curing Potion on a Party member if
needed
With two castings of DAIBA and an occasional CRITICAL HIT it is
possible to defeat the Golem by Round 4-5. Again, any attempts by the
Golem to utilize a Spell works to the Party's advantage.
Note that if the two minor monsters are Ninja, the use of a material
to cast a Spell becomes essential as they must NOT be allowed to attack
the Party. The Back Row will not have RESTRICT SHOT in use and
high-level Ninja can score an Instant Kill in every 1-3 strokes.
5. Vampire Lord * + 2 Undead (Vampires)
------------
Boss Abilities: Physical
Spells
Level Drain
Recommended Party level: 18-19
Recommended Configuration:
1. Hina 2. Party Leader 3. Ricardo
4. Sara 5. Kyo 6. Michele
Suggested tactics:
1st Round:
---------
Hina : Physical attack on Vampire
Team Leader/Ricardo : DOUBLE SLASH on Vampire
Sara/Kyo : SPELL CANCEL
Michele : Cast DAIBA on Front Row OR
Material such as Dragon's Tail
(casts JAKULD) to kill any
remaining Vampires
2nd Round:
---------
Hina : Physical attack or use Curing
Potion on Party member if needed
Team Leader/Ricardo : DOUBLE SLASH on Vampire Lord
Sara/Kyo : SPELL CANCEL
Michele : Cast DAIBA on Front Row OR
Curing Potion on a Party member
if needed
Repeat and with two castings of DAIBA and an occasional CRITICAL
HIT it is possible to defeat the Golem by Round 4. Again, any
attempts by the Vampire Lord to utilise a Spell works to the Party's
advantage.
Note that the two minor Vampires MUST be killed on the first round
if at all possible as one of them may cast a Spell and waste the
Party's attempt at SPELL CANCEL, leaving the Vampire Lord free to
cast JAKULD.
6. Reaper - Major form + 4 Undead (Ghosts)
------
Boss Abilities: Physical
Spells
Instant Kill
Recommended Party level: 24-25
Recommended Configuration:
1. Hina 2. Party Leader 3. Kulgan
4. Sara 5. Kyo 6. Michele
Suggested tactics:
1st Round:
---------
Hina : Cast DAIBA on Front Row
Team Leader/Kukgan : DOUBLE SLASH on Reaper
Sara/Kyo : SPELL CANCEL
Michele : Cast MEGADEATH to kill all
Ghosts
2nd Round:
---------
Hina : Physical attack on Reaper
Team Leader/Kulgan : DOUBLE SLASH on Reaper
Sara/Kyo : SPELL CANCEL
Michele : Cast MEGADEATH if any Ghosts are
remaining OR
DAIBA on Front Row OR
Revival/Curing Potion on
a Party member if needed
If the Party have suffered no real casualties, the Front Row should
continue to attack while Michele keeps casting DAIBA and Sara/Kyo
maintain SPELL CANCEL.
7. Bu Shin
-------
Boss Abilities: Physical
Spells
Underworld Cry
Recommended Party level: 30
Recommended Configuration:
1. Hina 2. Party Leader 3. Kulgan
4. Sara 5. Kyo 6. Michele
Suggested tactics:
Target Bu Shin itself when wearing the male face.
1st Round:
---------
Hina : Cast DAIBA on Front Row
Team Leader/Kukgan : DOUBLE SLASH on Bu Shin
Sara/Kyo : SPELL CANCEL
Michele : Cast DAIBA on Front Row
2nd Round:
---------
Hina : Cast DAIBA on Front Row
Team Leader/Kukgan : DOUBLE SLASH on Bu Shin
Sara/Kyo : SPELL CANCEL
Michele : Cast DAIBA OR
Curing Potion on
a Party member if needed
3rd Round:
---------
Front Row + Sara : WARP ATTACK
Kyo/Michele : SPELL CANCEL
OR
Hina/Team Leader: DOUBLE SLASH
Kulgan: Physical Attack
Sara: Healing Spells + Aids
Kyo/Michele: SPELL CANCEL
Halfway through the battle, Bu Shin will shift from a male to a
female face. At this time target the smaller female face on Bu Shin's
chest. When Bu Shin has sustained too much damage to this area, it
will shift to a male face again. The Party should then attack Bu Shin
itself again.
Note that this battle requires a surplus of healing aids as it can take
10 rounds or more to kill Bu Shin.
* Side Quest Boss

------------------------------
6. Ideal Party
While there is no perfect combination, it is possible to create a
strong and varied combination that will cope in all circumstances.
Therefore:
Front Row:
Party Leader - Knight (former Warrior)
i) The strongest class, and will reach maximum HP first
ii) Access to some of the best personalised items
iii) Priest Spells - secondary healer
iv) The story suggests that the Party Leader is a Knight
Samurai - Hina (joins B6)
i) High HP + Abilities on joining
ii) Occasional Instant Kill
iii) Sorcerer Spells
iv) Very effective attacking partner when coupled with the Party
Leader for AA's such as DOUBLE SLASH and END LASH
Ninja - Kulgan (joins B8)
i) High Agility = 1st attack
ii) High Instant Kill probability
iii) Use of low-level Sorcerer spells*
Back Row:
Bishop - Sara (former Priest - joins B1)
i) Primary Healer
ii) Use of Priest + Sorcerer spells
iii) Identify Items
Ninja - Kyo (joins B1)
i) High Agility = 1st attack (2nd once Kulgan in party)
ii) High Instant Kill probability
iii) Use of low-level Sorcerer spells*
Sorcerer - Michele (joins B5)
i) High Wisdom = more Spell use
ii) Use of rare Sorcerer Spells
The other original characters should be considered as lesser
options due to factors such as the stage of the game they are
available to join the party, alignment (eg. some are evil),
average equipment and/or low spell levels.
------------------------------
7. Equipment Suggestions For Party
Recommended equipment for Party as listed under Ideal Party:
i) Party Leader - Knight (allowed 6 items)
- QUEEN'S GUARD SWORD
- PHEROMONE SHIELD
- SHIELDED CHEST PLATE
- OGRE POWER WRIST
- KNIGHT'S HELMET
- 1 Trinket*
ii) Samurai - Hina (allowed 4 items)
- MASAMUNE
- SHIELDED CHEST PLATE
- OGRE POWER WRIST
- 1 Trinket*
iii) Ninja - Kulgan (allowed 4 items)
- INVISIBLE FLAIL
- NINJA ARMOUR
- 2 Trinkets*
iv) Bishop - Sara (allowed 3 items)
- ELF'S CROSSBOW
- FAITH ARMOUR
- STAMINA BOOTS
v) Ninja - Kyo (allowed 4 items)
- SHINOBI SHURIKEN
- NINJA ARMOUR
- 2 Trinkets*
vi) Sorcerer - Michele (allowed 3 items)
- ELF'S CROSSBOW
- PASHMINA ROBE
- DEVILISH CHARM
* Trinkets
Invaluable if used wisely. Four inventory items in particular should
be equipped immediately if found:
a) ASH CHARM -
* Casts spell ASH for Instant Kills on any lesser monster (2-4 charges)
Very effective against groups that need to be eliminated quickly, such as
Huge Spiders who attack en masse with Poisonous Breath or Boss minions so
the party can target the main threat.
b) DEVILISH CHARM -
* Casts NIRVANA at no cost to the character. A guaranteed out for the Party
if losing a fight (2-4 charges)
c) VALIANT HELMET -
Evade: 2
Defence: 4
* Resist Abnormal Status
* RESTORES ALL CHARACTER HP (1 charge)
d) ANTI-EVIL CLOAK -
* Prevents Direct Damage, Cold, Flame, Thunder
* RESTORES ALL CHARACTER MP (1-3 charges)
Please note that expending all charges will destroy the item, so in
the case of the ANTI-EVIL CLOAK and VALIANT HELMET it is best to have
replacement items ready to equip.
NOTE!
Orbs = Superior Equipment
It is possible to change a character's class via Orb, equip the character
with different equipment and then change the class back. Providing the
equipment is not removed, the character can retain their original class AND
use items they normally would not be able to equip.
For example:
Kulgan - a Ninja - uses an Orb and becomes a Samurai.
Kulgan then equips a Masamune (Samurai only) and Shielded Chest Plate
(Warriors, Knights and Samurai only) and then uses another Orb to change
back
into a Ninja.
Kulgan now possesses a Katanna with high attacking power and superior
armour,
both of which allow the regeneration of HP.

9. Maximum Levelling
Once the Party is strong enough to perform the AA RUSH for 140 + damage,
they should remain on B9 and watch for the Spider and Bird icons.
The Spider icon will ALWAYS be Silver Slime while the Bird icon will
occasionally be Will O'Wisps. Each can yield 40,000 + XP. It is possible
for parties to jump multiple levels by repeatedly engaging these monsters.
Until the Party is strong enough, use RESTRICT SHOT against the Silver
Slimes as a single Slime can do 70 HP + damage in one attack.
How much is enough?
In real terms, a party will peak at around Level 50. Once 999HP and spell
mastery are achieved, acquiring elusive items or confronting rare monsters
(eg. Gold Dragon) become the priorities. It is still possible, however, to
advance in numerical levels and raise each characters personal attributes
to a maximum of 99, which takes place at these levels:
Kulgan Level 71
Hina Level 76
Sara Level 74
Kyo Level 95
Michele Level 124
It should noted that this task is for the completist. Kulgan doesn't
require 99 FAITH, Sara 99 AGILITY or Michele 99 POWER as they are not
pivotal attributes for those characters.
At Level 50 + a character's prime attributes (eg. Agility for a Ninja)
will be at maximum levels and it is these that largely determine the
outcome of combat.
