Welcome to my FAQ for Riviera: The Promised Land. This is my first FAQ since
making a Global Account. I have not had much lucky in the past with making FAQs,
but I hope this one will be a great help

Below is how each boss will be displayed
Name: Chapter:
HP: STR: MGC: AGL: VIT:
Resist: +/- (+means a high resistance, and - means a high weakness)
Item: (If any. S-Ranked items are listed next to them.)
Class: (Dragon, Undead, etc.)
Tactics: (This will be EXACTALY what the game tells you.)
Members: (This will list good members for the battle.)
Weapons: (This will list good weapons for the battle. There may be 1-3 listed)
OverSkill: (This will list good OverSkills to use. The letter next to it tells
which character can use that OverSkill. The OS list is always for
one of the listed weapons.)
---------------------------------------------------------

|Hits: |Hits: |Hits: |Hits: |
|Eff: |Eff: |Eff: |Eff: |
|Range: |Range: |Range: |Range: |
---------------------------------------------------------
(Boxe sizes will accomodate all info)
**For the number of hits, it will be displayed by a letter in brackets followed
by a number (ie. [D]4). That is what property the attack is and the number of
hits. If the attack has an effect, that will be clearly stated too.
[D]=Darkness, [H]=Holy, [L]=Lighting, [I]=Ice, [F]=Fire, [P]=Physical
There will also be a strategy telling you who is a good member for your team,
and some good weapons and OverSkills to use.
NOTE: If HP is listed as '????', that means it is over 9999. The exact HP will
be put in parentheses next to it though.
NOTE2: On the effect where it says "Uses previous property," they will use the
property the where last hit with. If you hit them with a HLY property
attack, the property they use will be DRK.
2.a.-Accursed
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Accursed are the 5 bosses you face during the game; Aghart, Isher, Lindwurm,
Arch Angel, and Death
Aghart Chapter 1 (thanks to LoveBug2489 for this)
HP:6000 STR:44 MGC:76 AGL:10 VIT:0
Resist: All +/-0
Item: None(S-rank for Ignis Spear)
Class: Flying
Tactics: Aghart uses primarily fire attacks. If you have one, you should use a
Fire Orb to raise your fire resistance.
Members: Ledah (your onyl option)
Weapons: Einherjar, Loreli, Fire Orb, Potion, Spider Web
Overskill: Lost Seraph, Double Slash
----------------------------------------------------------------
|Normal Attack |Rage Attack |MAX Attack |
|Reap/Attack |Raid Burner/Magic |Flare Tempest/Magic |
|Hits: [F]3 |Hits: [F]4 |Hits: [F]3 |
|Eff: HEAT |Eff: HEAT |Eff: HEAT, Unavoidable |
|Range: Enemy/Near |Range: Enemy/Front |Range: All enemies |
----------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy: Meet your first Accursed. He's pretty strong, but you should have
no problems. Like the game says, a Fire Orb will be useful here. And
it's better if you have the Rosier from a crack earlier. It'll be the
Longinus if this is your second time through. It can end this
battle in one turn. And the Rosier is just really strong physically.
Ledah won't be as useful here, since his only attack is with Loreli,
and is magic. But, since Aghart has no weakness or resistance, you
should have no problem.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Isher(form 1) Chapter 2
HP: 1000 STR:64 MGC:16 AGL:5 VIT:10
Resist: All (void)
Item: None
Class: Human
Tactics: Protected by a special barrier, all attacks will be voided. What can
you do...?
Members: Anyone
Weapons: Einherjar (must have)
Overskill: None
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|Normal Attack |Rage Attack |MAX Attack |
|Cleave/Attack |Blade Ripper/Attack |Fallen Crest/Attack|
|Hits: [P]1 |Hits: [P]4 |Hits: [P]7 |
|Eff: Low%, XGuard |Eff: Inverts WT bar|Eff: XAV+GD, F1ALL |
|Range: Enemy/Near |Range: Enemy/Front |Range: ENemy/Near |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy: Well, this is the first half of the battle. YOu cannot hurt him. Do
the same thing you did with Malice; just attack. I advise only using
weapons you don't really need, or just have everyone use the Einherjar
since it has unlimited uses. He never uses his Rage attack in this
form. Just wait until Ursula comes...
*Thanks to Lovebug2489 for the Blade Ripper Effect*
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Isher(form 2) Chapter 2
HP:1000 STR:59 MGC:16 AGL:5 VIT:10
Resist: PHY+3, ELE-4, HLY-4
Item: None (Excalibur for an S-rank)
Class: Human?
Tactics: The knight can easily resist all physical attacks. He has low MGC, so
magic attacks can deal major damage.
Members: Fia (High MGC)
Weapons: Einherjar (must use), Hell Scythe, Lightning Bow, Flamberg
Overskills: Disaresta (your newest one!), Flame Slash, Serene Combo,
Trinity Spark
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|Normal Attack |Rage Attack |MAX Attack |
|Cleave/Attack |Blade Ripper/Attack |Fallen Crest/Attack|
|Hits: [P]1 |Hits: [P]4 |Hits: [P]7 |
|Eff: Low%, XGuard |Eff: Inverts WT bar|Eff: XAV+GD, F1ALL |
|Range: Enemy/Near |Range: Enemy/Front |Range: ENemy/Near |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|ETC Attack |
|Force Shield |
|Hits: None |
|Eff: GUARDUP |
|Range: Self |
---------------
Strategy: Thank you Ursula! She just gave you an Overskill for the Einherjar.
Disaresta, and Execution Level Over Skill, is your most powerful one
now. You can use it at any time, but it gets better the fuller the ODG
is. So, pummel him with attacks until he is around 50-400HP, then have
Ein use Disaresta. If he doesn't block every freakin' hit, you can
deal 800+Dmg! You'll get a higher rank if you finish him off with an
EXL, rather than a LV. 3 or even a Lv. 0 finish. He will also guard.
ALOT! So weapons/overskills with the 'XGUARD' ability are helpful.
NOTE: Disaresta shatters the OverDrive Bar, so you best use it when you know
you are going to win for the best score.

Lindwurm Chapter 3
HP:2000 STR:54 MGC:38 AGL:15 VIT:20
Resist: ICE+3, PHY+2, HLY+1, FIR-2, LIT-3
Item: None (Tempest Bow if S-ranked)
Class: Flying/Dragon
Tactics: In Rage mode, it will use a powerful ice or dark attack. Raise
resistance to those properties and heal often.
Members: Lina (LIT OS), Cierra (High MGC, FIR attacks)
Weapons: Flamberg, Lightning Bow, Ruby Staff, Dragon Killer, Book of Laura,
Harpie Talon, Ribbon
Overskill: Flameslash, Cinder Squall, Trinity Spark, Disaster, High Claw,
Pretty Dance
----------------------------------------------------------------
|Normal Attack |Rage Attack |MAX Attack |
|Tear Up/Attack |Blizzard /Magic |Crystal Breath/Magic|
|Hits: [P]2 |Hits: [I]3 |Hits: [I]7 |
|Eff: None |Eff: FREEZE |Eff: FREEZE, Not-VIT|
|Range: Enemy/Near |Range: Enemy/Front |Range: All Enemies |
----------------------------------------------------------------
|ETC Attack (Rage mode Only)|
|Poison Wind/Attack |
|Hits: [D]5 |
|Eff: POSION |
|Range: Enemy/Back |
-----------------------------
Strategy: If you still have that Dragon Killer from back in Chapter 1, now
is the perfect time to use it. Lindwurm is part flying too, so Lina's
Overskills are perfect. And since he has low resistance to lightning,
Trinity Spark will deal good damage (around 600). The Dragon Killer
will do between 300-400 damage, so that's pretty good too. If Lina is
getting hurt, her High Claw OverSkill can deal 4 hits of LIT damage,
along with the REVENGE effect. And since Lindwurm can FREEZE you,
Pretty Dance is useful, since it raises your resistance to being
frozen and stuff. Just pummle him with LIT and FIR property attacks.
And the Dragon Killer.
*Thanks to Lovebug2489 for the ETC attack*
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Arch Angel Chapter 4 (thanks to Vixen1977 for this info.)
HP:4000 STR:28 MGC:76 AGL:15 VIT:32
Resist: HLY+4, PHY-2
Item: None (S-Rank for Sacrament)
Class: Flying
Tactics: (Incomplete)
Members: Fia, Lina, Serene
Weapons: Zantetsu, Black Scythe, Iria's Bow, Blood Fangs
Overskills: (incompelte)
------------------------------------------------------------------
|Normal Attack |Rage Attack |MAX Attack |
|Downward Slash/Attack |Plasma Spark/Magic |Angelic Thunder/Magic |
|Hits: [P]3 |Hits: [L]3 |Hits: [L]5 |
|Eff: Use PREV Property|Eff: PURIFY |Eff: PURIFY |
|Range: Enemy/Near |Range: Enemy/Front |Range: All Enemies |
------------------------------------------------------------------
|ETC Attack |
|Mighty Guard/Support |
|Hits: None |
|Eff: Guard+35 |
| PHY Resist+50 |
|Range: Self |
-----------------------
Strategy: The ArchAngel his a high HLY resistance, so don't even bother bringing
Einherjar into this battle. Bring alot of strong PHY property weapons
though. That'll help. Alot. Not much more for right now...
*Thanks to Lovebug2489 for the Downward Slash Effect*
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Death Chapter 5
HP:4200 STR:60/76 MGC:56/72 AGL:10/15 VIT:20/40
Resist: ICE+4, LIT+2, HLY-3, PHY-2, FIR-2/ELE+3, HLY-2
Item: None (Night Scythe for S-rank)
Class: ??? (Unknown)
Tactics: Death is strong both physically and magically, so be prepared. Holy
attacks will be most effective against him.
Members: Fia (Healer, and good HLY attacks), Cierra (FIR Magic)
Weapons: Einherjar, Holy Sabre, Moon Wand
Overskills: Disaresta, Holy Blast, Vivace
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|Normal Attack |Rage Attack |MAX Attack |
|Downward Slash/Attack |Dark Shockwave/Magic |Onslaught of Doom/Attack|
|Hits: [P]3 |Hits: [I]4 |Hits: [D]8 |
|Eff: Low Acc. |Eff: Freeze, XAV+GD |Eff: HP ABSORB |
|Range: Enemy/Near |Range: All enemies |Range: Enemy/Near |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|ETC Attack |
|Cardinal/Other |
|Hits: None |
|Eff: Death changes modes |
|Range: --- |
---------------------------
|MAX Attack |
|Dark Sabre/Magic |
|Hits: [D]5 |
|Eff: POISON |
|Range: Random Enemy A |
---------------------------
Strategy: Death has 2 S. Elementals on his side, each with 400HP. Take them out
fast, preferably with the Einherjar (it hits them both). Now, he'll
use an attack that will make him more immune to your attacks. Those
are after the slashes next to his regular stats. You also won't have
your MaxHP because of the Venoma in the last few screens. If you still
have the Sacrament from the Arch Angel, you can deal an easy 999Dmg.
And all those HLY attacks and Overskills will seriously hurt him.
Lovebug2489's Strategy: It should also be noted that killing the Elementals
triggers Death to use Cardinal, and therefore, to make
the battle easier, Death and his sidekicks should be
taken out with one attack. Use Rear-Targeting items to
lower Death's HP and then and all-targeting attack (such
as Cierras Stave Over Skills) to finish them all. It
should also be noted that you seem to be allotted
much more time to kill Death with an S rank.
*Thanks to Lovebug2489 for her (her, right?) strategy and Cardinal attacks*
2.b.-Dark Progenitor
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
These guys are just the Accursed again. But they have some better skills. You
fight them in Chapter 7.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Dark Aghart Chapter 7
HP: 3000 STR:48 MGC:84 AGL:10 VIT:65
Resist: All+2
Item: Leyte Claw
Class: Flying
Tactics: It has high MGC, so use physical attacks rather than magic. The enemy
is flying, so try an anti-air move...
Members: Lina (for BowOS), Serene (for high STR), Fia(secondary BowOS)
Weapons: Diana's Bow, Spiral Arc
OverSkill: Stardust, Radiant Arrow, Divine Wind, Slayer Arrow
--------------------
|Normal Attack |
|Reap/Atttack |
|[F]3 |
|Eff: HEAT |
|Range: Enemy/Near |
--------------------
Strategy: Diana's Bow is the best bow you can have now, followed by the Spiral
Arc. All of Lina's and Fia's bow OverSkills are effective against
flying foes. Use them well. Serene just has really high STR, so she
can take advantage of Dark Aghart's low STR. He should be easy.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Dark Isher Chapter 7
HP:3500 STR:96 MGC:36 AGL:5 VIT:65
Resist: PHY+4, ELE-3
Item: Gran Sabre
Class: (Unknown)
Tactics: He has high STR, and physical resistance, so use magic with other
properties. He guards sometimes too.
Members: Cierra (High MGC)
Weapons: Einherjar, Skadi/Loreli(if you have it and want to use it),
Staves (for Cierra's OS)
Overskills: Disaresta, anything that is Unguardable
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|Normal Attack |Rage Attack |MAX Attack |
|Cleave/Attack |Blade Ripper/Attack |Fallen Crest/Attack|
|Hits: [P]1 |Hits: [P]4 |Hits: [P]7 |
|Eff: Low%, XGuard |Eff: |Eff: XAV+GD, F1ALL |
|Range: Enemy/Near |Range: Enemy/Front |Range: ENemy/Near |
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy: If you still have Skadi from a fight with Malice, and you don't mind
using it now, do so. Not only is it unguardable and unavoidable
(meaning that it'll always hit), but it may also freeze him. Cierra's
high MGC can deal superurb damage. Calamity Flare is her best one,
and you need the Southern Cross for it. If you have Ein's OverSkill
with the Fire Emblem, Burning Rose, it is perfect for now. 8 hits of
Fire damage!!! He's only going to be a real problem if he blocks all
your best hits.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Dark Lindwurm Chapter 7
HP:4500 STR:76 MGC:56 AGL:15 VIT:65
Resist: ICE+4, PHY+3, HLY+2, FIR-2, LIT-3
Item: Healing Herb
Class: Flying/Dragon
Tactics: Utilize the fact that it's a flying dragon to deal damaga efficietly.
It's also weak against lightning.
Members: Lina (BowOS), Cierra (High MGC), Serene (LIT OS)
Weapons: Diana's Bow (for a LIT and OAir OS), Leyete Claw (For LIT OS),
Dragon Slayer (ODrg)
Overskills: Stardust, Mimic Ray
----------------------------------------------------------------
|Normal Attack |Rage Attack |MAX Attack |
|Tear Up/Attack |Blizzard /Magic |Crystal Breath/Magic|
|Hits: [P]2 |Hits: [I]3 |Hits: [I]7 |
|Eff: None |Eff: FREEZE |Eff: FREEZE, Not-VIT|
|Range: Enemy/Near |Range: Enemy/Front |Range: All Enemies |
----------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy: This thing is crazy. A flying dragon that is weak to lighning? It's
just asking to be beat with the Dragon Slayer and Stardust. The
Stardust OS is LIT property, so that will utterly PWN him. If you
have the Book of Gelt, use Cierra's Thunder Storm OS for some good
damage. And Serene...if she gets hit alot, her No Mercy OS will
hit him 5 times with the LIT property. And it gets stronger as she
gets weaker. Have a field day with this sucker! He's just asking
for death.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Darkangel Chapter 7
HP:4600 STR:54 MGC:86 AGL:15 VIT:65
Resist: HLY+4, LIT+4, FIR+2, ICE+2, PHY-2
Item: Southern Cross
Class: Flying
Tactics: She has high MGC and an ultra-powerful lightning attack, so watch those
with low MGC or low lightning resistance.
Members: Cierra (High MGC), Lina (High LIT Resist, BowOS)
Weapons: Iria's Bow, Gran Sabre
OVerSkills: Divine Ascension, Barrage
---------------------------------------------
|Normal Attack |MAX Attack |
|Downward Slash/Attack|Angelic Thunder/Magic|
|Hits: [P]3 |Hits: [L]5 |
|Eff: Element Change |Eff: PURIFY |
|Range: ENemy/Front |Range: All enemies |
---------------------------------------------
Strategy: This fight just screams NO HOLYNESS! She's a freakin' dark angel!
So, use strong attacks. Barrage may not be the strongest attack for
Lina, but it is still PHY property and has the OAir effect. Divine
Ascension is always a good OS. In fact, next to Disaresta, it is most
likely Ein's best one. She's easy with the right equipment.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Dark Death Chapter 7
HP:7000 STR:78 MGC:92 AGL:10 VIT:40
Resist: ICE+4, LIT+2, FIR-2, HLY-3
Item: Infinite Arc
Class: Undead
Tactics: Dark Death's Max move, Onslaught of Doom, can absorb HP. Keep dealing
damage with holy-property attacks.
Members: Serene (High STR), Fia (Good HLY Support), Cierra (High MGC)
Weapons: Einherjar, Rosier, Spiral Arc (Its OS is HLY property.)
Overskills: Disaresta, Cadenza
----------------------------------------------
|Rage Attack |MAX Attack |
|Dark Sabre/Magic |OnSlaught of Doom/Attack|
|Hits: [D]5 |Hits: [D]8 |
|Eff: POISON |Eff: HP ABSORB |
|Range: Rndm Enemy A|Range: Enemy/Near |
----------------------------------------------
Strategy: Well, he's a Dark Grim Reaper. If that doesn't scream evil, beat me.
So, pummle him with HLY property attacks! Cadenza is Fia's strongest
Overskill, and luckily is HLY property. He'll be easy as long as you
don't let up on the assualts.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
2.c.-Grim Angels
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
You may only fight two Grim Angels throughtout the whole game, but there are
4 battles. 3 with Malic, and one with Ledah. And at the begining of the game,
you get to control Ledah. So, I will cover them in the order you fight them.
That means Malice, Ledah, then 2 Malices.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Malice(?????) Chapter 2
HP:???? STR:40 MGC:48 AGL:15 VIT:6
Resist: Ice(void), HLY+4, FIR-4
Item: None
Class: Angel/Human?
Tactics: HP is unknown. She is powerful, but you can deal damage with fire
attacks. Ice attacks deal no damage whatsoever.
Members: Lina and Fia (your only choices)
Weapons: Einherjar (must use), Flamberg (if you have it), Longbow, Rapier
Overskills: Flameslash, Arrow Rain, Risoluto
---------------------------------------------------------
|Normal Attack |Rage Attack |MAX Attack |
|Mow/Attack |Guilty Edge/Magic|Blue Sophia/Magic |
|Hits: [P]2 |Hits: [I]4 |Hits: [I]5 |
|Eff: FREEZE |Eff: FREEZE |Eff: F1ALL, PURIFY|
|Range: Enemy/Front|Range: Enemy/Far |Range: Enemy/Far |
---------------------------------------------------------
Strategy: Well, this battle isn't much. It is impossible to win, and you never
actually finish. Just pummle her with multi-hit attacks to get her
Rage Meter to MAX. Then, when she uses Blue Sophia, Ein will pull out
his Diviner on the last strike, and the battle ends. After this, she
leaves and you get Serene to join your party. Malice guards from time
to time, too.
NOTE: Thanks to Lovebug2489 for this info: Only use
Einherjar in this battle, since it will automatically fo MAX on her
fourth turn. This will save item uses.
/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Ledah Chapter 6
HP:5500 STR:98/128 MGC:30/45 AGL:10/15 VIT:70/80
Resist: FIR(void), HLY+3, PHY+1, ICE-4/FIR (void), HLY+4, PHY+2, ICE-2, LIT-2
Item: None (S-rank for Lorelei, his Diviner)
Class: Angel/Human?
Tactics: He attacks with powerful fire moves. Attack with ice while increasing
your fire resistance.
Members: Serene (good ICE), Fia (healer), CIerra (High FIR resist)
Weapons: Blue Stinger, Zephyr
Overskills: Appasionto
--------------------------------------------------------------------

|Eff: Add FIR |Eff: XGuard, HEAT |Eff: PURIFY, F3ALL |
|Range: Enemy/Near |Range: Enemy/Near |Range: ENemy/Near |
------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy: Time to crush your best friend. Use powerful ICE Magic on him. Serene
is good if your using ICE, as well as the Blue Stinger. His normal
attack is his most powerful before he uses Angel Awakening. But once
you et him down to 1000HP, he will transform. SO, take him out fast
before that.

Malice Chapter 7
HP:6500 STR:68/98 MGC:76/106 AGL:15/20 VIT:62/72
Resist: ICE(void), HLY+3, FIR-4/ICE(void), HLY+4, PHY+2, FIR-3
Item: Black Choker (S-rank to get Hair Ornament)
Class: Angel/Human?
Tactics: She attacks with powerful ice skills. Attack with fire while increasing
your resistance to ice.
Members: Cierra (FIR Magic), Serene (High ICE resist)

---------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy: If you use the Ice Emblem on Serene, all of Malice's attacks on her
become invalid! That means Serene is invincible. Cierra though...she
needs help. Though Prominence and her Pheonix Wand may help out alot,
she has a real low resistance to ICE. So keep her safe by switching
around your positions before Malice attacks to keep her out of range.
Blazing Rose is an LV.3 OS for Ein, and he needs the Fire Emblem to
do so. If you got lucky, in one of the previous screens, you got it.
Prominence did around 2000 damage for me, and Blazing Rose did around
1200. This shouldn't be too hard...

Malice Chapter 7
HP:3250 STR:98 MGC:106 AGL:20 VIT:72
Resist: ICE(void), HLY+4, PHY+2, FIR-3
Item: Black Choker(S-rank to get Skadi, her Diviner)
Class: Angel/Human?
Tactics: Her ice attacks are incredibly powerful. Ice and holy won't scathe
her, so plan around her only weakness: fire
Members: Cierra (FIR Magic), Serene (High ICE resist)
Weapons: Fire Emblem, Ice Emblem, Pheonix Wand

Strategy: She only has half her Max HP! Take her out! Fast! She's already
"awakened" from last battle, but she's still a push over. Oh, and she
starts the battle in MAX mode. But since she starts out so weak, and
you've had almost a whole chapter to train, you should be able to
crush her! Finish with a Lv.3+ Overskill to get Skadi. I beat her in
84 turns, so you should do better.
2.d.-Sub Bosses
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
These bosses are not final ones, but they are stull strong and get the bonuses
bosses get (as in, weapons that deal damage based on a percentage are invalid).
They are no push-overs, and should be fought with caution. They do give some
good items for S-ranks though
Thanks to LoveBug2489 for two of the three Sub-bosses here
(Red Fool and Zombie Dragon).
Fool Chapter 4
HP:2200 STR:45 MGC:35 AGL:25 VIT:20
Resist: ICE+4, HLY+3, LIT-2, FIR-3
Item: None (S-rank for Blue Bomber)
Class: Human
Tactics: The Fool normally attacks with physical attacks, but his Rage move is
an ice attack, and his Max move is a dark attack.
Members: Cierra (High ICE resist), Lina (LIT attacks)
Weapons: Flamberg, Lightning Bow, Harpie Talon, Ribbon
Overskills: Flame Slash, Trinity Spark, High Claw, Pretty Dance
-------------------------------------------------------------------
|Normal Attack |Rage Attack |MAX Attack |

-------------------------------------------------------------------
|ETC Attack |
|Guard FOrce/Support |
|Hits: None |
|Eff: Raise GUARD by 50 |
|Range: Self |
-------------------------
Strategy: Fool aslo fights with two Hobogoblins, each with 540HP. They have low
PHY resistance, so take them down fast! Now just pummle Fool with
FIR and LIT attacks. But they are useful: By the time you take them
down, you'll most likely have a full ODG, so you can unleash a strong
attack on Fool. Pretty Dance will stop Fool from freezing you, so use
it.

Take them down with the Einherjar to quickly get to Red Sage.

| | POISON | UnAvoidable/Unguardable|
|Range: Enemy/Near |Range: Enemy/All |Range: Enemy/All |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strategy: He's really slow, so Lina may also be a good idea. Take him out with
some good HLY attacks. Don't use items that alter your stats, since
his Rage move makes them useless. You get the Key to Hell after you
beat him.

3. Final Bosses //// [FINAL]|
================================================================================
The final two bosses of the game are Hector and Seth-Rah. They are getting their
own sections because they have the 'Element Transition' ability, and thus their
attacks and resistance's change. Hector's is worse, because he can become ANY
property. Seth-Rah just changes once. So, here is that section devoted to the
two worst.
3.a.-Hector
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
INCOMPLETE AT THE TIME. SORRY FOR INCONVEINCE!
3.b.-Seth-Rah
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Seth-Rah is a fusion of Seth and Hector. Seth was summoned by scarificing the
girl that is closets to Ein. Then Hector rants on about how Seth is a child
and stuff, and he fuses with her to become Seth-Rah, The Holy Demon. Seth-Rah
has two forms; Attack and Magic. Magic is the first one while she is red.
The Attack form is blackish-blue. Below, the stats for Magic form are on the
left, seperated by a slash (/). The Attack mode attacks are below Metamorphosis.
Seth-Rah Chapter 7
HP:????(12500) STR:80/99 MGC:99/80 AGL:15/15 VIT:78/78
Resist: ELE+3, HLY-4/HLY (absorb), PHY+4, ELE-3
Item: None (Get Longinus for S-rank)
Class: (Uknown)
Tactics: Seth-Rah uses Metamorphosis to change her abilities. Her weakness
changes as well, so keep your attacks varied.
Members: Anyone
Weapons: Einherjar, Southern Cross, Diana's Bow, Infinite Arc, Rosier,
Fanelia
OverSkills: Disaresta, Calamity Flare, Stardust, Cadenza

| | Inflict ??? status*| |
|Range: Enemy/Near |Range: Enemy/Front |Range: Rndm Enmy A |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
*The status it inflicts depends on the property. ICE=freeze, DRK=Poison,
FIR=Heat, LIT=Dazzle, and PHY=Purify
Strategy: Bring Einherjar and 3 powerful weapons, preferably the best in their
class. If Fia wasn't sacrificed, bring her and the Southern Cross.
She can heal 55% of your MaxHP, which will keep you alive. Make sure
the ONLY HLY property weapon you have is Einherjar, because Attack
mode can absorb it. I say bring one thing of each element. Southern
Cross covers FIR, Diana's Bow covers LIT, Infinite Arc covers ICE,
and Einherjar covers HLY. And hopefully by the time she is almost
dead, she'll be in her Magic form, so you can destroy her with
Disaresta. She's not too hard if you bring a good assortment of
weapons and have high stats. Fanelia, while it is the game's strongest
weapon, is not needed here. In fact, not at all. Alot of people beat
her without using or even knowing about it.

4. Chapter 8 //// [CPTR8]|
================================================================================
Chapter 8 is actually a secret Chapter. In order to access it, you must have the
Key Item, "Key to Hell," which can be found in Chapter 6. After receiveing this
item, you must complete the main storyline. Then, in the Extra Contents menu,
you will be able to access this Chapter. In here, all your character's stats are
different. They all have 1000HP and 75 VIT as a staple. And, all the weapons you
have are preset too. But luckily, not only are they the best of that weapon, but
all your characters have mastered them if possible. In this chapter, you only
get to do one thing: Fight Hades. His HP is '????', signaling it is over 9999.
But it is more like double or triple that! It is extremely hard to beat him. But
it is possible. NOTE: You do not get a retry on this battle.

-----------------------------------
Strategy: Well, you're really on your own here. I only listed good members and
stuff because it may be helpful. But just pummle him with strong holy
and elemental attacks. His MGC is lower, so that is preferable. And
healing and raising your DRK resistance is a good idea too. I'd say
have 2 support items and two offensive ones. Curse of Chaos is
unguardable, so in order to weaken it, you MUST raise you DRK
resistance. Good luck here! ~.^
Lovebug2489 Add-ons: His CRAP speed should be noted, as should (because of his
Rage Attack) that status altering items are completely
useless in this battle. Lina and Serene are nearly useless
in this battle. Rosier, and Southern Cross are most useful
weapons. Disaresta (EXL) can do around 3000 damage.
*Thanks to Lovebug2489 for exact HP. And her strategy.*

Well, this is the end of the FAQ. Hope it helped you out. And please, to save
trees and stuff, don't print this whole guide out. It'll be alot of pages, and
the poor trees cannot sustain it. With that said, NEVER print out a FAQ. Wasting
paper is bad...unless you're gonna plant a tree or two after you print out a FAQ
I still say don't do it.

*I will offer deeper help on Bosses, as on what items to use and such, but
rarely will I tell you how to get to the boss and where to get the proper
weapons. I may be writting another FAQ for that.
