----------------------------- What's this about? -----------------------------
This guide is a walkthrough and a couple of tips for anyone wishing to beat
Star Ocean First Departure with using only Roddick Farrence (Ratix). Also,
proving that you only need Ratix to win. First off, beating the game with
only one character is almost an impossible feat, but I've done it and I'm
willing to pass on my knowledge to how I accomplished this. I've beaten
Star Ocean the Second Story with only Claude and that was hard, this will
be harder because Ratix doesn't have a move like Energy Sword and Ripper
Blast. I'd like to give a big thanks, tri-Ace for creating such a great game
It's one of my favorites as well as Star Ocean 1 (Original), Star Ocean the
Second Story, Star Ocean till the end of time, Radiata Stories and Star
Ocean EX. Thank you tri-Ace for the Star Ocean Series. And Localization,
I hate you for changing all the names and giving Ratix the stupidest name in
the world.
------------------------------ Major Tips -------------------------------
Here's some tips and suggestions to make your Ratix Solo game a much
easier experience. Pay careful attention to everything I list, it will be
crucial
when you go try it for yourself. Also, When I first name a character. I'll
use their in game name. Example: "Roddick (Ratix)" And then after that
I'll use the name that is in the bracket. So I will be calling Roddick, Ratix
for rest of the walkthrough
------------------ Characters and Recruiting ------------------
First of all, your obviously only going to use Ratix in this game. There are
four core characters total that you will have in your party.
Ratix Farrence
Millie Chilette (Milly)
Ronyx J. Kenny (Ronixis)
Ilia (Iria Silverstole)
Also the character Dorne Murtough (Dorn Marto) will be there, but only for
a short time. I also suggest that you do not recruit anyone, for obvious
reason your can only hold one character on your reserves since you will
always have Milly, Ronixis and Iria in your party. If you recruit more than
one, someone will end up in your battles. A good reason not to recruit
anyone is because there are a lot of scenes where you are forced to travel
with people like Ioshua (Joshua), Cyuss (Cuis). In order for you to create a
successful Ratix solo, you must put all of your characters in your reserves.
- How do I switch out my characters?
Press triangle to bring up your status menu, go to Tactics, click on Replace,
and put Milly and Dorn in the last slots. The last slots are in the bottom
right corner.
------------------ Save Often ------------------
I can't stress enough how important that is. If you've headed really far in
the game, it's a good hint that you should go ahead and save. I save before
and after every dungeon and long conversation with scenes. It can get very
frustrating because with only one character, as soon as he's dead the game's
over.
------------------ Item Creation and Special Items ------------------
Item Creation is necessary for you to beat the game since there are certain
armors that are required for fighting certain enemy's and bosses and they
will save your butt more than once.
----------- Item Creation -----------
(Ctrl + F: Inventing In Ionis)
------------ Special Items------------
Force Sword - An unaugemented blade
Silvance - Augmented blade for those bosses that don't have strengths
Reflecting Plate - Cancels out all magic and heals Light Damage
Mithril Shield - Cancels out Paralysis
Sylvan Boots - Best boots
Sylvan Helmet - Best Helment
Sylvan Mail - Cancels out Petrification
tri-Emblem - Provides excellent stats
Berserker Ring - Doubles Attack Power
Ring of Flexibility - Prevents Petrification
------------------- Suggested Skills and Hidden Talents -------------------
You shouldn't start putting out points to skills until you get Sensibility
level 2. Which allows you to get Determination that lowers the requires SP
per skill.
------------ Sensibility level 2 ------------
At level 15 get your Determination to level 4. And then check your Status
and see what Talents you don't have. For the ones you don't have, follow
the advice to unlock more skill points.
[Taste]
Recipe 1
Knife 1
Keen Eye 1
- Now cook eggs and dairy randomly until the talent gets unlocked.
[Design Sense]
Sketching 1
Aesthetics 1
- Now use Magic Canvis's randomly until the talent gets unlocked, if you
have enough money.. .. I didn't. If you're having trouble getting this. Save
before hand. And raise your sketching and aesthetics to level 5 and try
again.
If you had one of these talents or both. Then you probably won't have
enough skill points, so just distribute to the important ones which are
Determination and Herbology.
Everything Should have 1 Skill level except for Purity, and your combat
skills
If you get 100 extra points:
Raise your Determination to level 6
Raise your Herbology to level 6
Raise Knife to level 4
Raise Power Burst to level 3
Raise Qigoug to level 2
If you got 200 extra points
Raise your Determination to level 8
------------ Knowledge 2 and Technical 2 ------------
Get all your skills, except for combat, to level 1.
Now unlock three other hidden talents
[Composition]
Penmanship 1
- You can't unlock this unless you have Fountain Pens. You probably won't
find any till later in the game
[Nimble Fingers]
Mineralogy 1
Eye for Detail 1
Aesthetics 1
- Use your crafting to craft anything randomly until it unlocks
[Love of Animals]
Whistling 1
Animal Training 1
- Buy Pet food at the store and then use Familiar in the field over and over
again until it unlocks.
At level 25 and Some of these unlocked you should
Raise your Determination to level 10
Raise your Herbalogy to level 8
Raise your Power Burst to level 5
Raise your Body Control to level 7
Raise your Qigong to level 4
Raise your Godspeed to level 6
Save the Rest of your SP until you purchase more skills.
------------ Sense 3 and Technical 3 ------------
You should first make sure every skill has at least a level 1. That should
unlock things like Music, Train and Customization
Although customizing is a big thing, there's no way you're going to have
enough skill points at this low of a level unless you visited the purgatorium
already. Your main focus is to train and make sure to level up (effort) at
least once before leveling up. It will lower your Exp needed, making leveling
up that much quicker.
Always train.. ALWAYS TRAIN. Unless you're fighting major bosses,
You'll always need that extra exp.
[Listening]
Ratix cannot learn this.. ;[
[Blessing of Mana]
Ratix can't learn this either. >;[
[Rhythm Sense]
Performance 1
Music Knowledge
- Compose a song and randomly play it with the conductors baton until you
unlock it.
[Animal Instinct]
Danger Radar 1
- Constantly change the Scouting section making sure you exit the menu
screen every time you change it. May take a long friggen time.
Now level up fast by Raising your effort twice after every time you level up.
One you get an Effort of 10. Just make your whole Train Skill a level 10 by
leveling your Resilience to 10
Now you shouldn't have much skill points to work with now. But you
should Focus on Raising your Customization to get yourself more powerful
weapons.
That means Raise your Aestethetic Design each time you level up or get
skill points until it reaches 10 and finish off your Smiting to level 10, that
shouldn't be too hard.
------------ Knowledge 3 ------------
Nothing really special here besides Compounding, Oracle and Alchemy. I
mean if you're feeling lucky you can use those things, but they really don't
help a whole great deal in a Ratix solo. Mainly now since we have all the
skills we will be focusing on what you should level up by what level you are
on. Make sure you get Customization to level 10 before you do anything
else.
------------ Customization level 10 ------------
Once you get Customization level 10. Assuming you're around level 45.
You should work on improving your Mental Science. Technology and if
you wanna pickpocket. Now's a good time to build up your courage and
pokerface. Other than that you can pretty much level up your skills to what
you want to do. There's nothing really important to level up next. Just
make sure you keep putting those points down
------------------- Suggested Killer Moves -------------------
The amount of good killer moves Ratix has is very limited. There's no real
move that does wonders for you. You basically have to rely on items to heal
yourself and your skills to protect you from enemies. I will list the killer
moves and their functions and what level you get them.
I also suggest that you use Firestorm Blade and Dragon Roar as your two
main techs
------------ Roddick's (Ratix's) Killer Moves ------------
Shockwave Swirl
Level: 3
MP cost: 3
Description: It creates a shockwave in 360 degrees.
My Description: A useless attack, it's delivering time is slow and it's not
that powerful
Firestorm Blade
Level: 7
MP cost: 5
Description: Deliver fiery attacks with a burning sword
My Description: Probably Ratix's best attack, it's a great follow up after
striking an enemy three times, It allows you to chain your moves together
and create combos that keep bosses stunned.
Lightray Blade
Level: 11
MP cost: 5
Description: Fire off a barrage of glowing orbs
My Description: Might be good against a lot of weak enemies, but
completely pointless against bosses. Unless you got a lot of MP and you
wanna focus on long range as much as possible
Thunderclap Blade
Level: 13
MP cost: 5
Description: Slash a sword charged with lightning
My Description: VERY SLOW. It hits pretty hard, but I'd only use it if my
enemy was stunned cause they have a large window to hit me while I'm
charging
Air Slash
Level: 17
MP cost: 8
Description: Send a Shockwave racing across the ground
My Description: More powerful than Lightray blade, but less accurate. I'd
say it's a good long range move to have.
Double Slash
Level: 19
MP cost: 13
Description: Deliver two attacks in rapid succession
My Description: It's like a unaugemented firestorm blade. And costs a lot
more, It's worthless unless you plan on getting Omega Double Slash
Spirit Strike
Level: 25
MP cost: 10
Description: Fire off a burst of inner energy
My Description: Not a bad long range attack. I'd use it more than Air slash
Dragon Roar
Level: 29
MP cost: 15
Description: Deliver a burst of inner energy in the shape of a dragon
My Description: One of my favorite attacks, mainly cause it reminds me of
Claude's Dragon Howl. Or it's exactly like it.
Omega Thunder Clap Blade
Use: Thunderclap Blade with Omega SFT skill
MP cost: 25
Description: Throw a sword at the enemy, directing lightning towards it.
My Description: Just as sucky as the first one
Omega Lightray Blade
Use: Lightray Blade with Omega SFT skill

My Description: It's an ok attack
Dragon Slash
Use: Spirit Strike with Four Beasts SFT skill
MP cost: 25

My Description: Better than Dragon Roar, a great attack
Phoenix Blast
Use: Shockwave Swirl with Four Beasts SFT skill
MP cost: 32
Description: Summon the Crimson Phoenix
My Description: Good with a lot of normal enemies.
Black, Red, and Bluewyrm thundersurges, cannot be learned in a solo
without Ashlay.
------------------------------ Roak (Present) -------------------------------
Okay. This is where the main part of the walkthrough begins. I won't
discuss the events that happen in the game because it will create spoilers as
well more typing for me. I will tell you how to advance the story and how
to get rid of characters so you don't have to recruit them. I will also go
into depth on how to defeat bosses and common enemies with Ratix only.
------------------- Kratus (Clatos) -------------------
Welcome to Roak. This is the beginning of your fantastic space adventure.
Allow me to guide you to success. First of all. Switch out Dorn and Milly,
since they automatically decide to randomly appear next to you in a form of
a party. Stick em to the reserves, cause you'll soon be attacked by bandits.
Now run out of the house and over to the left screen. Climb the double
stair case towards the weapon shop and Ratix's house. There you'll find a
talisman in a chest. Equip it to Ratix as fast as you can before it melts.
(lol, not really) This will improve your defense a lil bit. Your goal is to
want to see zeros when enemies attack you.
Now you can go around town and talk to people. But in order to advance
the thingy. You must talk to Milly's dad who hides in his home to the right
of the item shop. Then after talking to him go back up the stairs to the
defense force headquarters. Fight the bandits. This shouldn't be too
difficult. Even tho the bandits strike faster than you, just keep pressing X
until you break through and strike them. Then go to the left screenie and
finish off the bandits by the weapon shop. Be careful tho. The next battle
with the boss of the bandits starts automatically. So you might have to heal
yourself in battle. I have no idea how much HP these guys have since I
can't get spectacles till I'm out on the field. The boss is a toughie, but if
you take out his two minions first, there's a little ace in the hole. Go to
your items menu and select the Flare bomb. Target him for 400 damage that
kills him instantly. Cheap or not, it's three against one, all is fair in war
After the scenes end. Dorn will find his way back into your party. Throw
him back to the back with Milly again.
Now the game gives you a little window to go out and explore.
Go out of the village and cross the Metorx (Metox) bridge. And head for
that town in the distance. As soon as you reach the town of Coule. Raid the
first house to find a Necklace in a chest. Equip to Ratix as quick as you can
You can go around getting other stuff like 200 fol and blueberries. After
that exit the town where you came from and go out and train until level 9.
Level 9 is when the Thieving Scums do ZERO damage to you. Which is
beautiful. I love to see Zeros. Don't you love Zeros?
Name: Thieving Scum
Hp: 80
Mp: 0
Strengths: None
Weaknesses: None
Drop: Spectacles
My Description: They are very quick strikers, and not easily avoided. If you
have a defense of at least 41. They can't hurt you
Name: Horned Wolf
Hp: 160
Mp: 0
Strengths: Earth
Weaknesses: None
My Description: These things are a little bit stronger than thieving scums
but they are rare. They provide a good amount of exp. Run the opposite
direction if you see them glow.
Name: Little Bunny
Hp: 60
Mp: 0
Strengths: None
Weaknesses: None
Drop: Rose Hip
My Description: Why are these things even my enemies. They are so cute
and rare.. and weak. They do a little bit more damage than Scums and give
more exp, but they are just so easy to kill
After reaching level 9 or so. Go back to Ratix's house and take a nap in his
bed. It's always good to be rested and try not to waste items as much as
possible. In fact, just remove Milly and Dorn's weapons and try to sell them
if you can.
Now go back to the Defense HQ for another longerific scene with
something about "my hair" and "is a bird".
Doesn't the Captain's voice just sound so awesome.. HE SOUNDS LIKE A
DUDE TRYING HIS BEST TO SOUND LIKE AN OLD MAN. LOL
Dorn and Noel must be related.. No really. The eyes.. They never open..
who's Noel you ask? Well you better play Star Ocean 2 if you don't know
Dorn's hair is a bird
Milly's gonna run off and Dorn will join your party again. Time to throw
him back in the back. Since he keeps wanting to get close to you for god
knows what reason.
------------------- Coule (Cool) -------------------
Follow Milly all the way to Coule. You'll need to cross the Metorx bridge
and watch Dorn fall to his knees. After getting to Coule you'll see Milly run
into the second house. Now watch the scenes that are about to take place.
Dorn: "Milly, I want you to know something. I...I... I LOVE YOU.
*Croaks* (LOL MAJOR SPOILERS, SORRY >.< )
Someone's banging on your door, but it's more like Milly is banging on
Dorn's heart by always going to Ratix for help XD
I know it looks like Milly joined your party, but she stay's put in the
reserves like a good girl
Now go up and find Dorn to continue the story.. He's uhh.. yeah.. If you
miss him you're blind XD
------------------- Metorx Mountain (Metox) -------------------
You'll need to head through Coule to get to it. Watch out for Fellworms,
they make babies on you.. lmao XD
As soon as you enter Metorx Mountain, You'll be warned again about the
mysterious worm of sexuality. And if you continue a little ways you'll fight
two of them.
Name: Fellworm
Hp: 200
Mp: 0
Strengths: Earth
Weaknesses: Wind
Drop: Iron
My Description: They shouldn't pose any problem at your level. 3 strikes
and they are dead. And they don't even strike fast enough to hit you, so I
don't know if they can damage you a lot or not.
Killing them shouldn't be too big of a deal. When you finish, you'll go a
little ways through a winding path and under a ledge dealy. When you reach
the water spring. Two more will come to meet their doom at the end of your
blade.
"DON'T TOUCH ME, MY HAIR IS A BIRD TRANSMITTED
DISEASE!"
After the scenes. Press X on the water to restore your health.. (If you even
lost any)
Herb's won't stop anyone from turning into stone? Has anyone tried Stone
Cure yet? I mean, that would have been the first thing I done. Or maybe a
medicine bottle. Maybe Milly can level up a bit and try condition cure XD.
Oh well, Maybe this biological disease is more than even Milly, Rena and
Sophia combined can handle.
------------------- Calnus -------------------
Once you regain control. Put Milly back in her place. Then save the game
at the save point. Now it's time to walk around the ship and act like you've
never been there before. FIRST. RUN down the moving walkway in the
opposite direction. Cause it's funnnn and it's like a treadmill. And it
annoys people when you do it in airports.
Now travel to the 1st, 2nd, and 4th floors talking to everyone just cause I
Have no clue what advances the story. Talking to Ronixis and Visiting the Air
lock is all that I needed. Now head back to the elevator and go back to the
3rd floor to trigger a scene with the Fellwormies Babies
------------------------------ Roak (Past) -------------------------------
Congratulations. You made it through a bunch of long scenes to get here.
Looks like the people from 4D space granted you permission to visit the
past. Lol.. I can see Luther laughing right now. Data should behave as
such!
------------------- Kraat -------------------
First off. They butchered the name of the village. WHY...
WHYYYY????!!?
Second off, you need to find Iria some clothes. You can either go to the
shop owner and ask them for some. I'm sure that will be the best choice
since you're a man shopping for women's clothing. OR.. you can do the
funny thing and pull the wet clothes off the clothes line. Is this the right
thing to do? Sure why not, nobodies looking XD.. Either way, I don't
think Iria will like the clothes you give her. I can't be too sure tho, I
only know two ways to get clothes
Push your level 5 Iria to the reserve spot.
If you've got the Resurrection Elixir. Go sell it, you won't be needed it for
this walkthrough, or any reviving items. Since NO one will die. Heheheh..
cause if they do.. you lose >_<
Once you exit the town. Save zee game. We wouldn't want to have to go
through all those cut scenes again. It's annoying to have to keep pressing x
over and over again. But it's good practice for Metal Gear Solid 1's torture
scenes. "Just don't press select Snake.. Or Meryl will die"
You: "For some reason the thieving scum are a little bit tougher?"
Me: "NO! You just have no equipment. You're beating the baddies with
your other other sword. Hurry up and get to Haute (Hot)"
------------------- Haute (Hot) -------------------
"That ain't true and you know it.. Stop screwing with me you bastard!"
Ohhhh kayyy.. Now run over there and get your Sweet Syrup. YAY Sweet
Syrup!!!!
-__-..
Tell Ruddle "North of Here" Maybe he'll meet up with Rumina. NO!
Seriously, he gives you something good I think. In Portmith (Portmis)
Buy 20 eggs and dairy at the vendor cause it's cheap and smelly. No really,
you'll need it later I promise.
Now Go see Badam and go through all the scenes in the tool shop.
Make sure you head left in the tool shop and see the Skill guild and buy
everything. You should have enough money unless you buy too much crap.
Consult my skill section to see how to distribute skills.
(Ctrl + F: Suggested Skills) But you shouldn't distribute any until you have
attained Sensibility level 2
Go see that sword smith that Cyuss (Cuis) was yelling at earlier
Master: "HOW DOES THAT GRAB YOU, Eh?"
Ratix: "Ewwwwwwwwww"
Now head back to the tool shop. After Cuis joins. Steal all his armor and
throw it on Ratix, cause it's fun. And then throw him to the back of the
pack. Now we are ready to see if we are tough enough to solo onto the
Metox Mountain.
------------------- Metox Mountian -------------------
What ever you do, Don't enter the secret cave, cause you'll die. I'm not
kidding.. I SAID DON'T GO.. Okay okay. Anyway the secret cave is at
the first part behind a rock. And you need to be at least level 50 to handle
the monsters in their.. Much less solo.. ;[ So I'm guessing like level 60
for solo.

My Description: Probably the tough's enemy here. And that's not saying
much. If you see them getting a certain distance from you, they are about to
shoot an orb.
After you make it out of the mountain pass, You'll end up in a field that
connects towards Portsmith. Now would be a great time to save, even tho
there's probably nothing that can kill you out there. It's never bad to be
safe.
Name: Bushwhacker
Hp: 200

Strengths: None
Weaknesses: None
Drop:
My Description: Annoyingly strong.. And they don't give out much exp.
It's not worthwhile to fight them. If you get caught between them, they'll
bush whack you to death.. They brought my Hp down halfway.
HOWEVER.. Long range Lightray Blade does come in handy. They seem
to stop doing damage around defense of 80
Name: Horned Wolf

My Description: If these things can hit you.. You're just playing around..
They do no damage around this level
------------------- Portmith -------------------
I was about level 15 when I entered the town. I'd say it's a good level to be
around this time for this solo.
You meet Ruddle in the town square at the top right. You get a Faerie Elixir
Yay! I told you it'd turn out great.
To the top left is the skill guild. Be sure to purchase Sense 2. If you
don't have enough Fol, Go fight till you do. Now you should have
Determination, And you'll be able to finally read my skill guide.
(Ctrl + F: Suggested Skills)
The weapon shop you need to visit, "Just like papa's," is in the upper part of
town to the right. It's easy to miss, but once you get there the shop owner
will give you Bunny. A giant bunny that's cute and cuddly and fubsy and
whumsy, like two scoops of ice cream. Talk to the shop owner again and
buy yourself a Saber, Padded Armor and Round Shield. You can then sell
the extra stuff you don't need, except, keep the long sword Now run back to
Haute and go see Badam again.
After receiving your reward tell Cuis the third option in order to get him to
leave for good. That's the last thing you need is more people in your party
xD. Now check your party and throw Iria back to the pack. Also, all the
armor you stole from Cuis is still on you. HAHAHAHH. SUCCESS. You
are teh thief!!
Go to the Harbor, Which is way to the left and at the northern docks talk to
the sailor about destroying the thieves.
------------------- Velkhent Cave -------------------
Take the ship to the Pirates cave

Hp: 540

Strengths: Fire
Weaknesses: Water
Drop:
My Description: They will always get the first hit in like usual if you attack
them head on. But that first hit is enough for you to get in there and hit
them three times till they die. They shouldn't pose you too much trouble

you anyway. You'll make short work of them
There isn't much of anything to the right when you enter the cave. Take the
path to the left. Then hold circle over the slippery part to walk north and
into the next room. Take the staircase down. Then go down a screenie
again and take a right down the hallway and get your blueberries,
blackberries, sapphire and lavender. Make you way back and go down.
Head to the right and grab the necklace and flip the switch. Make your way
back and go through the door way and down stairs to our lovely save point.
Go up and right and slide you way across to the ressurection elixir. Make
you way back and press circle to walk north through the door and onto our

Drop:
My Description: Quickly take out the blue Robber Axman cause he can
cause you damage. Then just strike him and use Firestorm blade to produce
combos. Should pose no problem.
Leave. And go save the game. Go back the way you came where you saw
the smoke thingys near the stair case. Equip the flint to Iria and press X
near them. Run through and go down and down. Don't use the flint on
those smoke things.. Instead go to the right and collect sacrificial doll and
the syrup. Go back up and to the left. Grab the blueberries and continue
down.
The path is pretty linear from here on. You can follow a path to get a sweet
syrup or just go through the door and get a resurrection elixir. Magic
Canvis in the bottom right and save point on the top left.

My Description: Make sure you target the weaker one first, or you'll have a
problem getting stuck between their attacks. After finishing off the small
one it shouldn't be hard at all to get the big one down as long as you keep
chaining your regular attacks and firestorm blade.
"You're gonna wrap that rope all over me again, aren't you"
Me: "YES LOL, RAEP"
After meeting Pericci (Perisie) Go ahead and pick up the ocarina she
dropped. It's not like it will hurt. You can only get perisie if you do a
special PA with Milly and lots of people in your party in Kraat.
Go to the Inn and rest, and then come back and tell the guy you wanna go to
Astral.
------------------- Autanim -------------------
There you'll meet Phia Melle (Fear Mell). If you say thanks but.. She'll
walk away leaving you alone!
Go Across the ways to the left and buy 10 Iron and 20 Feather pens at the
shop. Then make you way left through the town square and left again and
purchase Knowledge 2 at the skill guild. You might wanna raise your Item
Knowledge a lil bit, since it will help you sell things for more money.
If you can find your way to the Weapons shop you can buy a Padded Helmet
and Iron Greaves. SELL THE RAINBOW DIAMOND. You don't need it
now, I promise you.
Now leave the village and follow the road

------------------- Tatori (Tatory) -------------------
First order of business is to go down the stairs and purchase Technical 2 and
Combat 2. And visit my (Ctrl + F: Suggested Skills) Guide for info on
which skills to upgrade next.
Go to the Weapons shop and by the Sinclair. A much stronger sword. Now
you can go to the Arena and test out your skills. There's no bad recourses
for losing except 1 hp lol. So try to get as far as you can through the Arena
Most of the Enemies in H rank are ones you've fought before.. G rank has
some new ones, but nothing powerful enough to stop you. F's boss is just a
bit stronger but still nothing worthy of the word challenge. E's boss is a
lil bit scary cause she blocks your moves a lot and if you don't stop her,
she'll cast a spell. D's boss is a bit tricky.. You might have to back off
and use a few Syrups. In fact, every time you land two successful hits, back
off and come back at him. You don't wanna get struck by him two much.
C is where I died at the third monster, and I think you should wait till your
higher to beat it.
Now go to the Docks. Ashlay might confront you and try to join. Of course
all you have to do is tell him you wanna go by yourself
You can also go to Astral Cave instead of taking a ship. I'll write that part
for you as well
------------------- Astral Cave-------------------
The cave is pretty much straight forward. For the switch part just keep
hitting the switch till the middle door opens up. There's not much good
treasure in Astral Cave at all, Just some stuff you can sell. Make sure you
keep all of Ratix's weapons, they will prove useful for customization later

------------------- Astral -------------------
Go ahead and tell Iria you don't mind walking around town. The weapon
shop has a new Ring Mail for some added defense.
There really isn't much else of importance. Just go sleep at the Inn and
follow the scenes.
Buy a lot of ruby's and then raise your crafting to level 9. Try as hard as
you can to make a berserker ring out of them. You only need one, and it
will allow you to double your attack power in battle.
------------------- Tropp -------------------
Make your way back via Ship in Astral and then head towards the town
between the mountain ranges and across the bridge. You'll meet this new
enemy over there.

My Description: Not hard at all
When you enter the town Iria will tell you to go all the way back to the crash
site near Kraat. Try finding a ship in Tropp to take you there. But first
Go to the right and find an unidentified Cinderella glass in a chest.
Buy a Knight Shield at the Weapon's shop. And then go to the pier and take
the boat back to Portmith.
------------------- Celestial Ship -------------------
Just head the usual way towards Kraat and visit the Celestial ship.. It's way
out of your way I know. But it's necessary I guess. Also make sure you
talk to a little boy in Portmith Pier's.. He'll give you an item that heals
from
water attacks
Don't even think about taking on the monsters in the secret cave on Mt.
Metox yet.. They will tear you to shreds D;.. Especially if you're level 30
To 45 or less.
Head back to Portmith and take a ship to Tropp.
Once at Tropp you should be able to take a ship directly to Eckdart. "Lmao,
You skipped having to visit the Purgatorium ( Parj Temple) Don't worry,
you'll get your chance to visit it later.
------------------- Eckdart -------------------
As soon as you get to Eckdart you'll see Milly take off in a random
direction.. Seems she doesn't appear in Silvrant if you don't have a lot of
characters.
You'll get Sense 3 and Technical 3 at the Item shop. Now's another one of
those times to read my skill guide. Please visit (Ctrl + F: Suggested Skills)
Go to the Inn to find Milly and have her join your party. Like all girls,
she's once again attracted to stand by Ratix's side.. Put her back in her
place.
Make Sure you have Train on. If you're paying attention to my Suggested
Skills you should know what I'm talking about. Then Raise your Effort 2x
and Exit to the Field and fight as many monsters as it takes to level up.
Then raise your Effort 2x again, until you've increased Five levels.

Once you've reached around level 38 and your Train skill is all the way at
level 10. You can stop your mad training mission and just go about the rest
of the story.
------------------- Mount Eckdart -------------------
There's a little spot in the mountain that allows you to find the place where
Joshua spent his time with Foster. If you have Joshua in your party you are
to exterminate the monsters here as a side quest. Hopefully you don't have
Joshua and you can pass through here and visit the woods.. In the woods
you'll find a lot of goodies, but Fine Shield is what you're looking for. You
can sell any other items you find there
Travel to the next town thingy.. It's hard to miss it.
------------------- Ionis -------------------
"Strawberry shake anyone?"
"THIS IS MANGO.. I ASKED FOR STRAWBERRY XD"
What does Rain Check mean anyway. I have no clue.. :/
PLEASE SAY: "Watch and see what happens"
More than anything, I can't stand Mavelle.. I like Erys a whole lot more.
Even tho they are the same person. Mavelle is just plain annoying argh!
Well that's my opinion, someone might actually like dead people. Not me..
Now you don't have Marvel in your party and you have all your core
members. BRILLANT. THIS ACTUALLY WORKS.. (*hasn't tested this
theory until just now*)
I honestly didn't believe it was possible to go through the game without
Mavelle joining you (Joshua and Ashlay not being in the party of course).
Once you regain control. Don't forget to put Ronixis back in his place.
Seems he's pretty happy to be beside you.
Now go to the tool shop and buy a bunch of fountain pens and unlock the
composition talent via writing. Also buy a magical camera and some film.
You'll need it later
"What the heck is that!?"
In the town's skill guild there's Knowledge 3. You can visit (Ctrl + F:
Suggested Skills) but all it will tell you is to get Customization maxed out
first. If you're ahead of me in the game as far as leveling. Just look to
what you should level up by level 45
Now you should head across the bridge and around the bend of the continent
to get to Van

battle field with two of them and enemies that keep you pinned. You're
screwed. So either run or target them first or flare bomb them. DO SOMETHING
------------------- Van -------------------
The Skill guild and Weapon shop in Van is kinda hidden from view. Just
take a path to the left of the food stand and up a winding staircase. Buy
Combat 3 and Plate Greaves
Go to the King and face your trial of doom
------------------- Trial Chamber -------------------
Go to the right immediately and pick up the Amulet of Flexibility. It's a key
necessary item for completing this solo quest.
Do me a favor and go ahead and equip it, I don't feel like testing which
monsters in here cause stone. Cause I know there are some in here that
does, and there's no save points around here.

Keep going healing yourself along the way. There's a save point if you
keep heading up. Then you'll come to an annoying room of a strange puzzle
that I'll never understand.
Okay.. After staring at this for centuries. I figured out that you don't need
a specific order to opening this.. If you read the tablet. Just imagine
everything reversed. Where dark is light. Light is dark And then Flip
switches in doors number 1, 3, 5, and 6
Now go back in save cause there's a boss coming up.
You might have to fight this one several times cause he causes Paralysis.

the Four Beasts SFT. Level that up to level 10 and use
Spirit Strike a lot to get - Dragon Slash
Shockwave Swirl a lot to get - Phoenix Blast
You'll have to travel to Silvalant. Just keep circling around the continent.
Cross a bridge, and through a cave.
You can stop by Durss and build snowmen to your hearts content.. *sniffle*
I love you Remia
I also reached level 45 around this time and completed my customization
skill venture. If you want you. You should by a bunch of longswords in

Go to the item shop and buy some Witch Powder, it might come in handy.
Customize with Longswords and Irons until you get something like Sword
of Stealth and Make sure you keep a Sword of Marvels so you can have an
unaugemented weapon.
Now it's time to train in the Ruins of the Old Race. YAY! It's really a
good thing to do this cause it'll level you up a lot. And maybe we'll find
some good items in there, maybe.. I'm writing this walkthrough as I go, so I
have no friggen idea what's in there. So lets go find out. Shall we? Yay!
The Ruins of the Old Race is pretty much a hidden cave way on the end of
the ice peninsula. Just go East of Silvalant. Press Start to look at your
world map. Keep pressing start until you see the big picture. If your Red
Arrow is pointing east (Right) you're going the right direction. At some
point it'll look like you're heading North Eastish.. It's at the edge of the
ice.
On the left side. Make sure you hug the left side of the mountains. Once
you find the last mountain, go around the back of it and find an indented
portion near the end you'll be there.
If you can't find it.. Skip this next portion, it's not really that important
that
we go there
------------------- Old Race Ruins -------------------
Except for a Steel Helmet. I haven't found any impressive items yet. There
is some good training in here tho, just make sure you keep the amulet of
flexibility on at all costs. There's also some Silver Greaves. I've taken
the path to the right of the Save point and come up with some good armor
Also if you take the path to the left of the save point.. If you see a room
with like four doors.. TURN AROUND AND DON'T COME BACK. There's a
boss in that room, and he's hard enough with four characters. I wouldn't
recommend challenging him unless you use the save point on the floor
above.
There is Steel Armor to the left of the save point. Another good thing to
pick up.
Make sure to Scout for enemies when you're training

My Description: If you're about level 70 or so. And you have an

The battle shouldn't last long. If you're hp gets below half point use a
blueberry. In the end he isn't as tough as I thought he would be, but at
least you're leveled way up.
There's not much for treasure as far as for Ratix. So once you're done
looting the place just leave and Head back to Silvalant.
------------------- Astral Emblem -------------------
Head to Silvalant
Once there, go to the pier and take a ship to any port in Astral. Make your
way towards Astral city which is of course behind Tatori
Once there speak to the king
Go back to Tatroi and Try beating the Arena Rank C. Once you do you'll
collect the Omega SFT. With that you should keep using the following
skills to unlock
First get Omega SFT to level 10 and use
Lightray Blade until you get Omega Lightray Blade
Thunderclap Blade until you get Omega Thunderclap Blade
Double Slash until you get Omega Double Slash
------------------- Muah Emblem -------------------
Take a ship to Portmith and go visit the king.. He'll have a task for you to
take care of.. NO NOT BUNNY XD
If you fought in the Old Ruins like I asked you to. None of the monsters
should be able to harm you at all
If not. Here's what you're up against

My Description: The battle starts off with a bunch of Shadow Beasts. IF the
shadow beasts can damage you, I suggest you target them first. If they
can't. Go ahead and focus on the boss. Holy sword works well here. And
so does Omega Lightray Blade Strangely enough at level 72, she couldn't
damage me either
In the room ahead there's a Ring of Mental Power. It's a brilliant item to
have if you keep being low on MP. You might not need it in a solo quest
since your attacks are so powerful you don't need to spam killer moves to
win.
After you leave you'll get 200 Skill points. Yay! Pretty soon you'll be
going to the purgatorium and be getting 300 more skill points Yay!
You can either go to the Purgatorium now or head to Mt. Metox Secret Cave
I'd also like for you to go to Ionis and pick up a bunch of supplies so after
the Secret Cave go to the Van Continent and head for Ionis
------------------- Mt. Metox Secret Cave -------------------
As soon as you enter you'll go down a path and you'll find some dwarven
boots in a chest if you go up. Then head back to the right. And go down.
Then go left and up to find a Ankh shield
Then head back down and to the right. There's a secret hole in the wall that
leads to a blue area.

to Ionis
------------------- Returning To Van -------------------
Go to Portmith and take a ship to Eckdart. Go up the stairs and go to the
item shop Gem in her eye and buy
5 Ruby's
5 Sapphires
5 Green Beryl's
20 Crystal's
10 Diamonds
20 Silver
20 Gold
20 Iron
Take a ship to Silvalant. And behind a tree in the house that has a cat.
There's Santa. Best time to use a Cinderella glass. Buy a Magical Rasp and
Music Editor from him. And if you have enough get a tri-Emblem
Head to Van from here and speak to the king. You'll learn about the
Purgatorium to advance the quest.
------------------- Inventing In Ionis -------------------
Now go to Ionis. Once you get to Ionis. Go to the Inventors workshop and
buy
20 Toolboxes
1 Lezard Flask
Now it's time to INVENT. Welch would be proud of you. Go outside and
save. And use Machinist to try your best at inventing
[Machinist]
Soldering Iron - Increases Crafting
Ririca - Increases Replication
Triangle Flask - Increases Alchemy
Survival Kit - Increases Survival (Not necessary)
Magician's Glove - Increases Pickpocket
Graphic Tool - Increases Art
Sterile Glove - Increases Compounding
When you run out of Tool boxes' Sell the Extra stuff you don't need that
you've invented more than one of. That should more than pay for you to
buy more toolboxes until you get everything
[Alchemy]
You will cry if you try to use Alchemy with Ratix. You need a character
that has blessing of Mana. Luckily for me Ronixis had it and I just gave him
the SP needed to get a level 9 Alchemy Skill (This maybe a solo, but who
said you couldn't use characters for item creation. You're just not allowed
to let them participate in battle ;) )
Once you get the Lezard Flask and Triangle Flask. Use up your Irons to
create as many Philosopher's as you can. I created like 15 in one shot
You can create as many Philosopher's Stones as you want and sell them so
you'll have enough money to buy a couple tri-Emblems from Santa. But in
the end you should have
20 Mithrils
10 Philosopher's Stones
20 Meterorites
10 Orichalcums
10 Damascus
6 Rainbow Diamonds
[Customization]
When you have the Magical Rasp.
Use a Mithril and a Sword of Marvels or a Sword of Stealth and try getting a
Moon Falx
Once you do save the game again and Use another Mithril to try getting a
Mithril Sword
This will be your strongest non elemental weapon until you get the Force
Sword and create the Silvance
[Crafting]
Craft on Crystal to try making a lot of
Ring of Resistance
Ring of Fusion
Since these items break a lot. It's good to have a lot of them.. You can also
try replicating them
[Blacksmithing]
If you created Rainbow Diamonds like I said earlier you can increase your
blacksmithing skill by two if you don't already have it at 10.. Due to
inexperienced characters this is absolutely necessary. Equip two Rainbow
Diamonds on all 3 sub core characters and leave it like that
Use Hammers to Blacksmith on Meteorite to create
Sylvan Boots
Sylvan Helmet
And try your best to create a Sylvan Mail for back up, since it prevents
petrification for a sacrifice of 50 def
Use Hammers to Blacksmith on Oricalcum to create
Reflecting Plate (Strongest Mail)
Use Hammers to Blacksmith on Mithril to create
Mithril Shield (PREVENTS PARALYSIS: DAMN RIGHT SUCKA!)
[Your Armor]
Right now you should have this if you've done pretty much everything I
said
Weapon: Mithril Sword or Duel Sword
Armor: Reflecting Plate or Sylvan Mail
Shield: Mithril Shield
Helmet: Sylvan Helmet
Greaves: Sylvan Boots
Accessory 1: tri-Emblem or Ring of Resistance
Accessory 2: Berserker Ring or Amulet of Flexibility
Alright. Now we are almost set to our perfect Equipment Selection. We are
gonna head to the Purgatorium and show them that there is nothing this
world has to offer that is able to destroy the devastating moving weapon you
have become. Even Decus would kiss your feet, As for Claude he's already
gone due to his game having bunny shoes -_-
Just pray you have amulet of flexibility on when I tell you there are stoning
monsters or all my praise will go to waste xD
Now take a ship to Tropp.
------------------- Purgatorium -------------------
Head east across Astral's wastelands and North as the crow flies to the
Highland Caves. Once you cross through you'll see the Purgatorium.
Unfortunately you can't get right in through the front entrance, but you can
get 50 SP.
The back entrance is back on the field map but more North east of it. So
basically hug the mountains and go towards the coast and then behind it
You'll see a little scene and Ratix and Ronixis should move the boulder
entering the way into the Purgatorium.
If you've done the inventing I've asked, and you're around level 80. None
of the monsters here can harm you. So I'm not even going to bother
mentioning their names. Head left through the door and flip the switch.
Then head right through the other door. You'll find a hallway with a little
hallway to the right that will get you 100 SP
Then go back and head up.
Red - Enemy
Blue - Door
Orange - Back to Start
Green - Chest (Froghead)
Once you touch the blue thing and get the froghead or skip it. Go through
the door and head left. Go down and left for 100 more SP
Go back up and through this new door
Red - Enemy
Blue - Door
Orange Back to Star
Green - Chests (Ring of resistance and resurrection elixir)
Head through the left door and up a lot to get a switch. Then go back and
head through the right door and flip the switch.. Then touch the blue thing to
escape to the save point
The next room is a mind fuck
Just screw all the chests here. There's nothing good.
Touch the Orange one
Touch the Orange one again
Touch the Orange on the left
Escape
Win
To the left is healing thingy and to the right is 100 sp.
Ahead is the boss called Wolf Spirit. Make sure you don't have a light
equipped weapon or attack. Other than that they are too low level to do you
damage
------------------- Purgatorium Inner Sanctum -------------------
In this part. If your Defense is as high as mine was. The enemies can do
you no damage which is pathetic. Well my Defense is around 825. I can't
blame them for sucking so bad. I was actually hoping for these things to be
stronger than that. Oh well. Just keep Omega Lightray Blade and Dragon
Slash equipped.
First go up the stairs Get your ?item (Sweet Syrup) and go to the left. Once
you go around a linear path you'll come across a save point to the left
Go up and to the right and pull the first two switches but save the last.
No go back and left and collect your Sour Syrup and ?Mineral
Go up and to the right. Down the stairs.. Then collect your sour syrup. Go
up the stairs and to the left and Hit the switch.
Go back the way we came towards the save point..
Collect your ?herb and go up the stairs.
Go back through a linear path. Where you opened the chest earlier to get
the (Sweet Syrup)
Go underneath the bridge this time and go to a linear path that leads to a
flare ring.
Avoid all the red doors and go up towards a closed grey door. Press up
against it and it will open up revealing a red room
After the fight, talk to the computer to get an R-Card. Now all the red
Doors open.
Collect your useless treasure along the way, but make your way to the save
point. And go back to that room with the three switches.. Pull the last one
and go through the red door that closes
Now go through the newly opened door to see a room full of blue. Fight the
useless monster and talk to the computer getting the B-Card
Now go up.. and down the blue stairs.
Pull the switch and I have no idea what that just did... errr... OHHH
Go back up the stairs. And to the right.. Down those stairs.. Unless you
want a ring of lunacy don't go up the stairs. Instead go underneath the
bridge and through a newly opened door. And collect uhh and Angel Statuette.
Now go up for a scene
Talk to the green switch..
Land of Searing Heat - Astral
Land of the Falling Leaves - Van
Land of the Frozen Wastes - Silvalant
Land of Lush Greenry - Muah
After a long scene and intense anger in your heart as you see Remia and all
your precious snow men burn to a crisp. Take your rage and double it with
a Berserker Ring and tri-Emblem go to Silvalant and take a boat to the
Deserted Island
------------------- Demon World -------------------
It's time to kick some ass. Asmodeus has tread across the wrong heart.

Take care tho.. The silvance does have an augment to three different
elements. It might be wise only to use it for bosses that you know don't
have strength to Light Dark and Wind

The whole thing is pretty linear. There are chests along the way but nothing
really useful for Ratix. As soon as you get to the save point. The time
space laboratory will be up ahead. This is where it will become more like a
maze.

My Description: BE CAREFUL. These things cause Petrification
Go to the left underneath the bridge and follow the linear path to the left.
Once you find the stairs again keep going left and pick up an amulet of
Freedom. You may need this if you didn't get the Reflecting plate. Go up
and up again to get a rainbow diamond.. Go back down and to the right.
Keep going right and down until you're back where you started. Now go
up the stairs and right the only place you can go
Follow the linear path back down the stairs. Then go right down the walk
way
Go up for a Mithril.
Here's where it gets tricky. Go back outside the door. And keep heading
down. You'll end up in a secret path underneath the bridge
Follow the linear path until it becomes divided. Then head up and to the
right
Now go up the stairs and through the door.. As you keep going make your

Now go up. And go Right up the stairs. Take the path down.. and to the
left.. And up.. towards the door
Before you enter the door.. Equip the Silvance and the Berserker Ring and
tri-Emblem.
Asmodeus has no strengths or weaknesses to elements and he doesn't
petrify, so you're all set to spam attacks till he dies
Name: Asmodeus
Hp: 57000
Mp: 200
Strengths: None
Weaknesses: None
Drop: Faerie Tear
My Description: If you're wearing the Reflecting Plate I don't think any of
his magic attacks do jack squat for damage.
But he does have a regular attack that knocks you back rather far. I'd stick
with a long range Dragon Slash and try getting 7000 in each time..
In the end.. He doesn't stand a f*cking chance against your solo resolve
------------------------------ Fargett -------------------------------
As soon as you land on the planet head right.. You'll be attacked right
away..
I say:
"Let them come"
Milly gets captured, Which I think is funny cause you don't have anyone in
your party barely XD
------------------- Safe House -------------------
There's a guy near a door that will let you buy a bunch of items from him.
You can buy a Silver Trumpet here too
------------------- Fargett Field -------------------
You can use the Silver Trumpet to learn the Devil's Aria
And if you want to be reminded of how weak you are you can try fighting
Gabriella solo
What? You don't believe me? You think you're a god XD Just go ahead
and play The Devil's Aria with someone who has Listening and Rhythm
Sense with a Music of Level 10. She'll eat you for dinner D;... Trust me, I
tried fighting her five times using different Tactics. Not only does she
petrify you. Her regular attacks do 5000 damage each. It will be our goal to
beat her Solo
For now.. We have to Rescue Milly
Go down towards that black looking Temple.
------------------- Army Camp -------------------
Don't even bother with the blue Switches. Head through the doorway
Once through go through the bottom two doors and hit the green switch on
both..
Once the done, go back to the center room and head up through the new
doorway to find Milly
Milly will Automatically join your party afterwards.. So be sure to throw her
back
------------------- Bio Lab -------------------
As soon as everyone is done talking go down the Ladder. There's a linear
path up ahead.
Go up the ladder again and you'll be in Revorse Tower. You're final resting
place to beat your solo
------------------- Revorse Tower -------------------
Name: Star Seraphim
Hp: 14500
Mp: 230
Strengths: None
Weaknesses: Dark
Drop: Resurrection Mist
My Description: Petrification watch out
None of the other enemies should cause you any damage.
Go down through the door way and head right
1F - Go up through the first door, keep going left around the bend.
Once you're in a room with Five Doors. Go in the bottom right
2F - Left.. Left. Down around the bend.. Right.. Right Second door and go
up around the bend. Left.. Down around the bend. Left
3F - Right through the last door. Right again. Up and around the bend to
the left. Left
4F - Right and down around the bend. Left to a save point. Left again 2nd
door and up and around the bend to the right. And Up
3F - Go Right and down and around the bend. Right
4F - Up and first door on your right
5F - Up and around the bend to the left. Left. Down and around the bend.
Left
6F - Up and around the bend to the right. Right. Down and around the
bend. First door on the left. Up and around the bend to the left. Left.
5F - Right and Down and around the bend. Left Left. Up
6F - Right
7F - Up and Up and Save..
Up ahead is your final boss. The one man that stands between you and a
complete Ratix Solo. Don't let your guard down, this isn't over until Neo
Revorse falls.
First lets equip the Force Sword. Since Revorse has Strengths to all
elements. Using the Silvance is not a good idea. Now Make sure you have
your tri-Emblem and Berserk Ring equipped. He doesn't have petrification,
so you can go all out on him.
Name: Jie Revorse
Hp: 55500
Mp: 250
Strengths: Earth Water Fire Wind Light Dark
Weaknesses: None
Drop: None
My Description: He should be no problem at all. Just dodge his light ball
attacks. Other than that his magic attacks do no damage to you.
Name: Neo Revorse
Hp: 94500
Mp: 300
Strengths: Earth Water Fire Wind Light Dark
Weaknesses: None
Drop: None
My Description: What a freaking joke. If you're wearing the Armor I
mentioned All his best magic attacks heal you.
Seraphic Storm. - It will heal you a lot
Sacred Law - It will heal you a lot
So after he hits you a lot with his horn, he go ahead and restores you to full
strength with a magic attack.
So you best hope to dealing him damage is to wait until he casts a magic
attack and jump in for three regular strikes. You can also try parrying his
horn attacks and moving in, but the chance of success is about 30% In the
end. I had more trouble fighting Asmodeus than him. What a joke XD The
hardest boss in the game has to be Gabriella.
---------------------------- The Seven-Star Ruins ----------------------------
I was level 100 when I entered the Seven Star Ruins and the first monsters I
fought gave me so much experience I leveled up to level 103. In fact I kept
leveling three times all the way to level 109. and My best suggestion here
Is to keep train on and LOOK FOR ENEMIES. Keep the amulet of Flexibility on.
They aren't that strong fighting them but they give so much great exp. First
go down the stairs and you'll be in a room with four doors each with a chest
in them. Close the chest in doors 2, 3 and 4. Then the door will open. Go
down the stairs and go down and down the stairs again.
Now go right.. Up and then up throught the door to get the backstab skill
Go left and down the stairs and you'll be at b7
At b9, this is very scary. You have to put all the ladies in the front of
your party. But as soon as you reach b10. Rearrange them back to the pack
and pray you didn't have a battle.
Now go down and to the right. And down again down the stairs. Until you
reach b12.
Then if you go around the bend at the bottom. You'll find another stair case
that leads you to b14. On this floor basically just move both sets of
statues so the boy looks at the girl and the girl looks at the boy
B15 is really tough cause you can barely find your way through the hidden
holes in the walls. You'll find the first hole going down. And then the
second hole on the left side of the new room. Don't try to go up. Instead
keep going left until you reach a whole new room. Then go left again until
you reach a room where you can go down. Get some treasure. Then go back to
that room which was the second new room and go down to find a hidden path and
head right to reach a room with stairs again. Go down
You'll be at B16. Keep going down until you reach B18
Head to the right and ignore the man's warning and go up.
Name: Demonic Eye
Hp: 54750
Mp: 130
Strengths: Fire Wind Dark
Weaknesses: None
Drop: Ring of Lightspeed
My Description: You start off the battle with 1 hp. So it would be a wise
idea to start using two blueberries till you're healed up again. Then these
fight just like regular monsters. Make sure you have Ring of Flexibility
cause they do stone a lot.
On B19. What one is the next one does not want to be. The first one is
closed. So the second one should be open. Then the third one should be
closed and the last one should be open
B20 Head left through a hole in the wall. Then you'll see a room with a
stair case leading down to treasure. You can get the treasure then go back
up to the same room and head left through another hole in the wall. Then
you'll see a treasure chest up and you can get it if you work your way up a
bit. (It's the ring of infinity. You can level up people that are not in
your party with it. Thus making it so you can level up people in a solo.
I'm not sure if it levels them up or stops at 1exp. I'll have to test this
theory.) Then go back in the whole and go left to the next room and head down
the stairs.
Keep going down until you reach B23. B24 is harder to master. I'll give
you the right code.
First Chest
Fourth Chest
Second Chest
First Chest
Third Chest
Fourth Chest
B25 is down through that hole in the wall. Then left in the next room. Then
keep going left through the darkness and downt the stairs until you reach B27
Head Right to get Ratix's strongest weapon the Aurora Blade. Good thing that
none of the bosses in the Seven Star Ruins are Strong against Light
On b28 There's another two sets of Demonic Eye bosses. Don't worry they
aren't strong against light damage.
On b29 as long as two statues aren't looking at each other directly in the
eyes then the door opens.
B30 is where the boss is.. I was at level 167 when I beat it the first time
and I had training mode on. Lmao.
Name: Resphina
Hp: 35300
Mp: N/A
Strengths: None
Weaknesses: Dark
Drop: Resurrection Mist
My Description: TAKE HER OUT FIRST. If you focus your damage on her instead
of the slow bandit guys, then you'll stop her from using all her strong
attacks like what Gabriella does, except her HP isn't that high so taking
her out is only a few quick Omega Lightray blades. Then you can focus on
the bandit kings who are deadly, but slow. She also causes stone
Name: Bandit Kings 2x
Hp: 117750
Mp: N/A
Strengths: None
Weaknesses: None
Drop: Velvet Tear
My Description: They are a pain in the butt when fighting them. But they are
very slow and therefore if you have a good long ranged attack you can do
damage to them from a distance without them causing you any pain and misery
Collect your treasure but don't equip the ring of aborbtion yet. Also when
you're getting out of the place you might start running out of blueberries.
It would be a great idea to use Familiar with Love of Animals talent to go
shopping for you.
---------------------------- Gabriella ----------------------------
I beat her solo like ages ago. I just hadn't gotten the chance to update
my guide yet. I'll give you guys some suggestions on how to do it so you
all stop sending me email suggestions. Rofl.
Yeah the Ring of Absorbtion is a good bet. But it doesn't always work 100%
of the time. Infact you have about a 40% chance of defeating Gabriella
solo even at level 255. Here's my suggestion. Eqiup the Sylvan Mail and
Mithril Shield since she can cause petrification and paralysis. You must
use the Aurora Blade as your weapon. And your two accessories should be
tri-Emblem and Archangel's Bracelet. The Archangel's Bracelet is the best
Accessory in the game. It creates a shooting star effect when you hit an
enemy so you keep them pinned down.
Now for Fighting Gabriella. First you must use a sub character that has
Listening and Rythm Sense. Not Ratix. And then get their Music up to
Level 10. Play The Devil's Aria with the Silver Trumpet.
Name: Gabriella
Hp: 108500
Mp: N/A
Strengths: None
Weaknesses: Dark
Drop: Archangels Bracelet and Resurrection Mist
My Description:
Basically her only attacks are this huge wheel she shoots and spins around
Air Slash, Her body moving around like a magician, and Meteor Swarm and
Something else that doesn't damage me. But other than that all her
attacks do at least 4000 damage at level 255. Your best bet is to keep
retrying until you can get in their and keep attacking her non stop with
combos until she explodes. It's worth a try and a few body controls might
save you. Other than that you're gonna have to keep healing yourself.
