MONSTER LOCATIONS:
"Where Do I Find the Monster I'm Looking For?"

This section is easy to use: just look up the monster you want to find, and
you will see all of the locations it can be found in. To figure out which
specific encounters it appears in and which groups you should battle, refer to
the "Monster Encounter List" section.

Note that nearly all monsters can be found in A-Rank Quests; because of this,
it is not identified on the list as a location. Monsters that can only be
found on A-Rank Quests or S-Rank Quests (or are found in Building Number Two)
have their location identified as the alpha groups they appear in.

Likewise, because almost every monster can be found in Gladsheim, the only
monsters who will have it marked as a location are those who can either only
be found there or whose only other location is in alpha groups. Incidentally,
most monsters exclusive to Gladsheim cannot be spellbound, but Gunna and
Jormungandr CAN be spellbound.

If a location is marked "Ginnungagap Seal," this is referring to the hidden
seal encounters in Ginnungagap; look up "Ginnungagap Seal Guardians" in the
"Monster Encounter List" section. Note that since these two encounters can
only be triggered once per playthrough, you probably shouldn't bother trying
to befriend monsters from them, as these monsters can all be found more easily
in other locations.

Note that this section does not indicate items carried by anyone who does not
appear in the Monster Book, such as humans and special monsters. The item data

BOSS AND HUMAN LOCATIONS:
"Where Do I Find Dudes who aren't in the Monster Book?"

This section is like the "Monster Locations" section, but lists fellows who
aren't found in the Monster Book. Most of these can only be battled once, but
a few can be battled multiple times; I'll note next to their entries if they
can be battled an unlimited amount of times in that location.

Note that nothing in this list can be spellbound. Some of the humans are
already playable anyway, though.

This section contains some pretty major spoilers, so be warned!

ITEMS OF BOSSES AND HUMANS:
"Does a Boss Carry an Item I Need?"

This is just like the "Items of Monsters" section, but it includes item data
for things that aren't in the monster book. Look here for items that can be
obtained from things like humans and boss-only monsters. Most drop items are
guaranteed to be obtained, except for the ones dropped by giant versions of
normal monsters; I think that Kismet is the only other one that has less than
a 100% chance of dropping. Don't forget that you can steal from several of
these guys, though!

Most of these fellows can only be challenged once per playthrough, but a few,
such as most giant versions of ordinary monsters, can be battled repeatedly in
places like Gladsheim.

It should go without saying that this list contains some spoilers. Be alert!

Iselia Ranch Poison Leech Group

Note: This is not a habitat; rather, it is the Poison Leech: Alpha Group that
appears in a well-hidden part of Iselia Human Ranch. It is listed here for
ease of reference and can also be found on A-Rank Quests. Note that the
monsters in this group, like all alpha group monsters, have sharply randomized
levels, so the monsters in this group may be significantly stronger than
other monsters in the area.

Triet Oasis (does not appear on quests)

Note: This habitat consists of one unorthodox group comprised of the five
encounters that can show up if a monster is fished up during the Triet
ice-fishing mini-game. Because the only unifying factor between these five
encounters is that they all occur during the same mini-game, this group
cannot be identified by a leading monster like most other groups can.
Note that, despite the fact that these encounters are triggered by unusual
means (randomly upon fishing successfully), they are not classified as event
encounters, and thus you can spellbind monsters in these encounters.

Circuit Puzzle (does not appear on quests)

Note: This is not a habitat; this category denotes the three encounters
that can be triggered by "messing up" at the Temple of Lightning electrical
circuit puzzle (where you break certain yellow blocks to send electrical
charges up certain paths). Two of these encounters are identical to those
found in Temple of Lightning groups, and one is an event encounter. Also,
Circuit Puzzle Elaphebolion: Event is an event encounter, which means
you cannot escape and no monsters within can be befriended. However,
Elaphebolion cannot be befriended anyway, so the second aspect makes
little difference.

Monsters: Embryo, Jelly, Graeae, Goliath

Enemy-only Monsters: Elaphebolion

Toize Valley Mine (B-Rank Quests)

Note: Toize Valley Mine contains monster groups from the Temple of Earth
habitat; thus, the above Temple of Earth section is also applicable to
monster groups found in Toize Valley Mine.

* * * * *

Alpha Groups (A-Rank Quests, S-Rank Quests)
(section very close to being complete)

Note: These groups, known as alpha groups, show up in A-Rank Quests and
S-Rank Quests and contain different encounters than their normal variants
found in other places. Also, the levels of the monsters vary wildly, ranging
from about Lv.2 to about Lv.70 on normal mode.

Note: Although the game refers to all Vanguard members as simply "Vanguard,"
this guide refers to their fighting style and element for clarification
purposes. Vanguard Rogue and Vanguard Pugilist are male, while
Vanguard Archer and Vanguard Witch are female.

Note: Vanguard Witch, Vanguard Rogue, Vanguard Archer, and Vanguard Pugilist
cannot be befriended because they are not monsters. For obvious reasons,
they are not listed in the Monster Book.

Building Number Two (S-Rank Quests)

Note: Although the game refers to all Vanguard members as simply "Vanguard,"
this guide refers to their fighting style and element for clarification
purposes. Top Vanguard Rogue and Top Vanguard Pugilist are male, while
Top Vanguard Archer and Top Vanguard Witch are female.

Note: Top Vanguard Rogue, Top Vanguard Archer, Top Vanguard Pugilist,
and Top Vanguard Witch cannot be befriended because they are not monsters.
For obvious reasons, they are not listed in the Monster Book.

Note: Groups headed by monsters will only appear in a certain few S-Rank
Quest destinations, such as Cape Fortress, not in Building Number Two itself.
These elusive groups were probably intended to appear in Ymir Forest before
the developers decided against including the forest as a location in the game.

Ginnungagap Root Guardians

Note: This is not a habitat; rather, it lists the encounters that guard roots
in Ginnungagap. Aside from certain alpha groups, these encounters are the
only sources for befriending the artificial summon spirits. Be sure to
befriend each artificial summon spirit before you burn the root its encounter
is guarding, or you will be unable to befriend one until your next
playthrough.

Ginnungagap Seal Guardians

Note: This is not a habitat; rather, it lists the two very well hidden
encounters in Ginnungagap that can only be triggered by burning the
roots in a certain way. In order to get one of these encounters to
appear, first defeat both two guardian encounters guarding a root and
then burn the corresponding root. If done correctly, a spectral image
of a monster will appear on the central elevator. Repeat with the other
three roots on the floor, and there should be four spectral monster
images on the elevator. Stand on the elevator and press the A Button,
and the four monsters will fully materialize and engage you in battle.
Note that these two encounters are NOT event encounters, so escaping
and spellbinding are possible, but remember that Bakunawa and Hippogryph
cannot be spellbound no matter what. Strangely, there does not appear
to be any reward for battling these two very well hidden encounters,
aside from the items that the monsters may relinquish and any monster
you may befriend from these encounters. Note that these two encounters
can only be triggered once per playthrough; if you want to befriend one
of the monsters and it doesn't join, you should reset and try again.

Guardians of the Seal of Darkness

Gladsheim Seal Guardians

Note: This section lists the groups that guard seals in Gladsheim.
Most seals are guarded by the Archdemon group, which must be
defeated in order for you to open that room's treasure chest. The
seal at each corner of a floor, however, contains a different group
comprised mostly of monsters you have encountered in previous areas
on your journey. These groups also guard treasure, but in order to
advance to the next floor, you must defeat all four of these corner
seal guardian groups. The guardian groups on the ninth floor of
Gladsheim have two possible encounters instead of one, with one of
these encounters featuring a special giant monster that cannot be
befriended.

QUEST MONSTER ENCOUNTER LIST:
"What Monsters Will I See on This Quest I Accepted?"

*NOTE: THIS SECTION WILL BE EXPANDED AND CLEANED UP IN A LATER UPDATE.*

This is a listing of the monster groups found in quests, grouped according to
location. This list contains the normal monster groups found on quests; for
quest event encounters, see the "Quest Event Encounter List" section. The only
factors affecting which monsters are found on which quests are location and
quest rank, so all D-Rank Quests at Dwarves' Ore Mine will have the same
monster groups, for instance; the quest type (such as Medicine is Benevolence
and Curse of the Monster) only affect quest event encounters.

+-+D-Rank+-+

Note: D-Rank Quests contain monster groups from Lake Sinoa Cave, Tower of Mana,
Hima, Underground Ruins, and Dynasty Ruins.

*NOTE: THIS SECTION WILL BE EXPANDED AND CLEANED UP IN A LATER UPDATE.*

This is a listing of all of the game's event encounters, grouped according to

once I collect some more data on them.

QUEST EVENT ENCOUNTER LIST:
"What Dudes Must I Fight on This Quest I Accepted?"

This is a listing of all of the event encounters that appear in quests. With
few exceptions, every single-battle quest (like Monster Forest and Avenge Us)
has one event encounter, and every exploration quest (like Legend of Spiritua
and Dinner Delivery) has four event encounters. Note that event encounters
are not reliant on the location of the quest but depend on the quest itself and
the quest's rank; some quests can occur at multiple locations, but the event
encounters will not change. Defeating the fourth event encounter will end a
quest, even if you creatively managed to skip battling some of the other
event encounters. If you manage to battle some of the event encounters in an
unintended order, you can sometimes get some pretty strange dialogue.

Note that several single-battle quests randomly select one of two possible
event encounters for you to face; you will not battle both. Likewise, the
quest type "Happy Birthday" randomly selects either a monster battle or a
battle against Neighbird the neighborly nabber as the fourth event encounter
you face.

The first monster or human in each entry is what the event encounter looks
like before you battle it, so for instance, "Tarantula, Ghost, Gamat" will
look like a Tarantula outside of battle and contain those three monsters when
you battle it. The only exceptions are event encounters 3 and 4 of
"Annoying Vanguard," in which the out-of-battle enemy is completely different
than the ones you face in battle. I guess the programmers messed up, since
those Vanguard members do look a lot alike. Whoops.

COMPREHENSIVE MONSTER ENCYCLOPEDIA:
"What is There to Know about my Favorite Monster?"

*NOTE: THIS SECTION WILL BE EXPANDED AND CLEANED UP IN A LATER UPDATE.*

This section is like the game's monster book, but goes into more detail,
including base stats, learned artes and skills, evolution options, and other
handy bits of information. I am filling this section in as I play, so it won't
always be this short and incomplete.

"Build" describes the body shape and composition of the monster. Monsters who
share a build will fight in similar ways and use similar strike artes.

"Weakness" indicates the attack element that does 125% of its normal damage to
the monster. "Resistance" indicates the attack element that does 75% of its
normal damage to the monster. "High Resistance" indicates the attack element
that does 50% of its normal damage to the monster.

"Base Stats" indicates the stats that the monster has at Lv.1 after being
befriended from the wild or received through an event. These stats do not
apply to monsters who have evolved or de-evolved, as cooking will have altered
their stat ratios. The monster's stats will stay in the approximate ratio
indicated by its base stats as it levels up (allowing for random variance)
unless cooking or equipped stat-boosting skills (except LUCK Increase) affect
the ratio. Note that LUCK is not mentioned because a monster's LUCK value is
randomly set between 0 and 100 every time the party rests at an inn or green
memory circle, and the initial LUCK value is equally random.

"Base Exp. Level" denotes the lowest level the monster can have when appearing
in the wild. For "Exp. Level in Wild" and Exp. Level in Alpha Groups,"
"(N)" denotes its level in Normal difficulty, "(H)" stands for Hard, "(M)"
stands for Mania, and "(U)" stands for Unknown. These abbreviations are also
used in other places in this section.

"Base HP in Wild" denotes the HP that the monster has at the lowest possible
level it can appear at in the wild. This value is used as a base for
calculating the wild monster's HP at other levels. Note that wild monsters do
not have the same stats as those in your party: the HP values and growth rates
are completely different, and wild monsters have unlimited TP. "Wild HP
Additive" is the value added to a wild monster's HP for every level it is
above the base level. For instance, if a monster is two levels above its
base level, the Wild HP Additive will be added twice to its base HP amount
to determine its final HP amount.

Artes marked with "Strike" are those denoted on the game's artes menu by
the symbol of a sword; they do not carry over when the monster evolves. Artes
marked with "Magic" are those denoted on the game's artes menu by the symbol
of a staff; they carry over when the monster evolves and will never be
forgotten by the monster no matter how often it evolves.

Note that all skills are carried over when a monster evolves; a monster never
forgets its learned skills.

The listed foods under each monster's food preferences reflect the monster's
preferences at its maximum level. Monsters become less picky eaters as
their level nears the maximum; when I get a chance, I'll figure out exactly
how and when the monsters' tastes change.

"Base EXP" refers to the value used in calculating the experience the monster
gives based on its level. "EXP Given in Wild" indicates how much experience
the monster actually gives at the level it has in the wild. "EXP Given in
Alpha Groups" indicates the range of experience the monster gives at the
range of levels it can have in alpha groups found in A-Rank and S-Rank Quests
(and the Poison Leech alpha group in Iselia Human Ranch). (Because most
formulas for determining Base EXP are very complicated, this data may be
slightly incorrect right now.)

Note that only monsters with opposable thumbs drop gald when defeated.

The monster descriptions have been gathered by examining and forming
inferences based on the monsters' battle styles, artes, victory poses, items,
plot descriptions, and Monster Book entries. I also had a little creative
fun with my descriptions. XD

I decided to go above and beyond on the descriptions for artes and skills,
detailing exactly how they look and work. I used a bit of creative license on
figuring out exactly how some of the skills work. XD

Note that I will be unable to obtain the base stats for monsters unable to be
spellbound (except Imp and Kitty Kat) unless someone able to access
the debug room is willing to help.

Description: A small bulb-like monster with a round dark green body and two
large leaves protruding from its head. It is a naive and curious
monster that wanders about exploring and searching for shiny objects;
it uses its two fronds to unearth buried objects from the ground and
then uses them to decorate its den. It makes a good pet because of its
affectionate nature but its curiosity can get it into all sorts of
trouble if not carefully supervised. In battle, it ambles cheerfully
toward its opponent and bludgeons them with its leaves, sometimes hurling
them into the air. It has a short attention span, so it sometimes gets
distracted and begins digging for treasure in the middle of a battle.

Description: A fairly small wolf-like monster with fluffy bluish-gray
fur and yellow eyes. It is social and prefers to travel in packs,
although it is not picky about the species of its pack members; it
especially enjoys the company of humans and makes an excellent pet.
It is a bit gluttonous when it comes to food and has a distinctly yappy
bark. In battle, it quickly rushes its foes and attacks rapidly and
doggedly by biting with its sharp jaws and delivering powerful kicks
from its hind legs.

but slightly smaller, possessing a fluffy coat of dark brown fur despite
its name. It is a close relative and evolved form of the Wolf and enjoys
its company, but it is much rarer and more aggressive. It is fiercely
loyal to its friends and an unrelenting fighter, but is surprisingly
laid-back when not riled and is very docile around those it trusts. It
is among the rarest species of monsters, spotted very seldom traveling
with Wolves. In battle, it fights using a similar fighting style to the
Wolf, unleashing quick strikes with its jaws and hind legs, but attacks
a bit more aggressively and also slashes with its sharp fore-claws.

-Bear leaps toward the foe and lands on top of it with a massive
belly flop, flattening the foe beneath its ponderous bulk.
Skills: Lure 1 (SP:6) Learned at Lv.3

Description: A very large bipedal bear-like monster with a thick coat of
fluffy brown fur and a powerful, densely muscled body. Its huge size
can appear intimidating, but it is actually calm, laid-back, and patient
and gets along well with a variety of much smaller monsters. Although
gentle, it is incredibly powerful, with muscular arms that allow it to
shake fruits down from trees and shatter boulders and a thick body
capable of withstanding the harshest of attacks. In battle, it patiently
waits for its foe to draw near before pummeling it with punishing strikes
from its powerful arms, occasionally pinning the foe beneath its massive
body. It tries to appear more aggressive than it actually is to draw its
foes' attention away from its friends.

It also layers with the Item Getter skills of Wild Rabbit's
friends.

-Wild Rabbit learns to anchor itself in the face of fierce winds,
slightly reducing the damage it takes from wind-elemental
attacks.

Description: A small rabbit-like monster with fluffy pink and white fur,
big ears, and a long cottony tail. It looks very cute but has a bit
of a temper and will kick anyone that gets on its nerves, although it
is not aggressive by nature. It is easily tamed and tends to be
introspective and moody, although carrots are guaranteed to cheer it up
when it is upset. In battle, it fearlessly hops up to its opponents and
unleashes a relentless barrage of powerful kicks, occasionally kicking
sand into the foe's face to reduce its reflexes.

Description: A large orange and brown spider with thick, powerful legs.
It lays traps of sticky webbing for unsuspecting low-leveled prey and
defeats them with its fangs when they become ensnared; it does not bother
humans, however. It spends most of its time ambling about at a
leisurely pace while calmly day-dreaming yet is surprisingly passionate
and feels extremes of emotions. It has a very whimsical personality.
In battle, it slowly but steadily approaches its foes before striking
with its powerful forelegs and sharp fangs and blowing a venomous liquid
from its mouth. It also entangles foes by forcefully launching nets of
sticky webbing from its mouth.

Description: A small bird-like monster with mostly brown plumage and a thick
beak ideal for cracking seeds. It is very sociable and often travels in
flocks, although it also enjoys the company of a wide variety of other
monsters; it adores rice and frequently stashes rice kernels in various
hiding places, although its hiding places aren't very good and are
often found by other Chirpees. When it molts, the downy feathers it
drops are often used for pillows and linings for garments. In battle, it
grows very excited, whistling to boost its movement speed and launching a
surprisingly aggressive barrage of pecks and divebombs. Sometimes, it
gets so excited during a battle that it loses control and crashes onto
the ground after an especially passionate divebomb, although it seems to
enjoy the thrill and quickly dusts itself off.

unclouded so that it almost never has its artes sealed.
Shock Attack 1 (SP:6) Learned at Lv.8

out a sudden ear-piercing chirp to startle the opponent, causing
Peepit's normal attacks to have a slight chance of startling the
foe so badly that it goes into a state of shock.

Description: A small bird-like monster similar in build to a Chirpee, but
covered in downy white feathers and crowned with a long red crest. It is
much more skittish than its outgoing relative the Chirpee and never
strays far from the side of its friends, often hiding the instant it
hears an unfamiliar sound. It is very fond of cold, snowy weather, in
which it becomes almost invisible against the snowy backdrop except for
its bright red crest, which seems to act as a sort of status symbol. It
is among the rarest species of monsters, spotted very seldom among a
flock of Chirpees. In battle, it grows very nervous and tries its best
to frighten its foes away, shocking them with sudden divebombs and
assaulting them with a barrage of icy snowballs launched from its beak.

It is cheerful and easily excited and gets along well with other
monsters, chatting noisily through ultrasonic waves. It delights in
dark places, although it doesn't mind flying outside in broad daylight.
In battle, it tends to cautiously approach foes before suddenly
charging forward with blinding speed to attack with aerial tackles
and kicks; it can also induce headaches in foes by emitting piercing
sound-waves.

Description: A round tadpole-like monster with an azure body and cream
belly and a plump tail. It is timid, docile, and easily frightened,
preferring to lazily nap in damp places rather than battle; it has the
surprising ability to instantly humidify any area by using its unique
Prayer arte, making even the driest areas moist enough for its liking.
In battle, it tends to nervously hang back away from the fray but pummels
anyone who approaches it with tackles and tail slaps. It can also
humidify the surrounding environment so that the moist air replenishes
its energy over time.

inflicting full damage even if the opponent guards it.
Wing Beat (Strike) TP:24 Learned at Lv.21

Description: A small sprite-like monster with a light coat of fuzzy purple
and white fur, two distinctive large pointy ears, a pair of burgundy
wings, and a tiny forked tail. It is very cheerful and mischievous and
delights in playing tricks on others; it gravitates toward people who
have a good sense of humor. When it is having fun, its wings flap
excitedly. While it bears a striking resemblance to the Gremlin and</pre><pre id="faqspan-5">
enjoys its company, the two are not directly related. The Imp grows
and develops much more slowly than most monsters and requires a lot of
care and attention if raised, but has the potential to become
unbelievably powerful in terms of both physical attacks and magic. It is
an exceptionally rare monster that appears once in a blue moon and will
only become friends with a human with whom it feels a very close bond.
In battle, it hovers toward the foe and attacks with a barrage of potent
strikes from its head, hands, and knife. If a human has taught it
how to use magic, it can relax its mind so that it can cast spells
exceptionally quickly.

and a tiny forked tail. It gets along very well with its rarer cousin
the Imp and enjoys hiding in houses and playing mischievous pranks on the
occupants. Despite its playful demeanor, it is a very powerful magic
user. In battle, it prefers to hover just out of reach of the foes
while pounding them with lightning magic and restoring the TP of its
allies with its Charge spell, but it can unleash powerful strikes with
its head and knife if necessary.

COMPREHENSIVE BOSS AND HUMAN ENCYCLOPEDIA:
"What is There to Know about Stylish Bosses and Wacky Humans?"

*NOTE: THIS SECTION WILL BE EXPANDED AND CLEANED UP IN A LATER UPDATE.*

This section is basically a continuation of the "Comprehensive Monster
Encyclopedia" section, except that this section covers enemy-only
monsters and human enemies; as such, see the above section if you don't
understand one of the category headings. Basically everything that is not a
recruitable monster is detailed here, although because they are unobtainable,
several sections will be impossible to fill in unless it is possible to view
the corresponding data through the debug room.

Note that no monsters listed here can be befriended...unfortunately. T_T

The levels that these monsters (and humans) learn artes and skills have been
inferred from which difficulty settings the monsters know the artes and skills
in question. Because of this, any minor error regarding the level at which an
arte or skill is learned won't actually bear any effect in terms of
referencing this list for gameplay purposes.

Description: A rare medium-sized chimera monster resembling a tiger and a
wolf, with a thick coat of striped purple fur, a shaggy mane around
its neck, and a large tuft of fur at the end of its large and powerful
tail. It is unknown how such an unusual chimera came into being, but it
is currently under the mind control of Alice via an Exsphere-powered
mechanism attached to the ribbon Alice tied around its tail. Perhaps
you can free it if you manage to break the machine. One of Alice's
three favorite "pets," it is primarily used for fast land transport, as
its powerful body enables it to carry large weights upon its back with
little trouble, and for punishing Alice's foes with powerful claw swipes
and tail slaps. It also holds immense magical power of darkness, which
it can release to trap foes in a dark spatial void or to lull them into
ensorceled slumber. When not under mind control, it enjoys traveling
with its other two chimera friends, Porthos and Aramis.

Description: A large bear-like monster with spiky burgundy and black fur
which is a rare mutation of the Bear. It lives near Lake Sinoa
Cave and avoids conflict, living peacefully in the nearby forests and
subsisting almost entirely on apples, its favorite food. Because it is
timid around humans and docile except when its habitat is disturbed, it
is seldom seen and relatively little is known about it. Because of its
tendency to avoid conflict, it is not very strong in battle and has a
rather clumsy fighting style which resembles an unskilled version of the
Bear's combat style. Overall, despite its imposing appearance, it is not
threatening in the least.

resembles the spell "Enhance Cast," but has no charge time. This
arte changes one minor element to Light.

Description: A rare small chimera monster resembling a rabbit and a
squirrel, with a downy coat of black fur, two long ears, a large fluffy
tail, and small feet adapted to gripping sheer surfaces. It is unknown
how such an unusual chimera came into being, but it is currently under
the mind control of Alice via an Exsphere-powered mechanism attached to
the cotton vest Alice adorned it with. Perhaps you can free it if you
manage to break the machine. One of Alice's three favorite "pets," she
keeps it primarily for its cuteness and, when no one is looking, to
lovingly pet to relieve her anxieties, but it is also very formidable in
a fight, striking foes with kicks and ear slaps and releasing its latent
magical power to invigorate its friends and blast its enemies with
blinding light. When not under mind control, it enjoys traveling with
its other two chimera friends, Athos and Aramis.

Description: An unusual magical construct resembling deep blue viscous
water forming the shape of a reclining girl. It is a rare
mutation of a Thinker that acts as a servant of Aqua, Centurion of Water,
and is often summoned to help at Aqua's bequest; it has a calm and
easy-going personality and prefers not to fight, so it typically conducts
non-combat tasks when summoned. It spends most of its time lounging in
the shallows near the ocean, casually humming surprisingly beautiful
melodies. While it prefers not to fight, it will readily battle when
necessary, flailing its liquid hair in the form of a whip and thrusting
with its pointed end. It can also use its pleasant singing voice to
replenish its own HP or that of its friends.

Description: A rather unremarkable thief who enjoys snatching things when
no one is looking. He isn't much of a battler, although he enjoys
taunting; in battle, he slashes and thrusts with his knife and hurls
throwing knives at distant foes. One Thief, who never reveals his name,
works for a group of bandits often found in Sandy Wind Cave, and another
Thief, Neighbird, enjoys announcing to people that he is about to steal
their treasure, inadvertently giving them enough time to get away.
Thieves are a pretty nutty bunch.

Description: A middle-aged, bearded swordfighter who looks like he may need
to cut down on the chips. Despite his bravado, he isn't a very skilled
battler, although he enjoys taunting; in battle, he swings his broadsword
in an unremarkable fashion and doesn't do much else except taunt. One
Swordsman, Musashi, runs a martial arts school that is often challenged
by his archrival, Sasaki, and occasionally wanders around in the guise
of the Unnamed Swordsman; another swordsman, Froos, works for a group
of bandits often found in Sandy Wind Cave and has a not-so-secret crush
on the sorceress Melissa. Swordsmen are pretty quirky guys.

Description: An extremely eccentric axefighter with no distinguishing
features other than his unnerving perpetually-angry stare. He makes a
big show of every fight but doesn't know a single advanced combat arte,
although he does enjoy taunting; in battle, he swings his axe and takes
frequent breaks to taunt profusely. The only Mercenary is Sasaki, a
very quirky fellow who repeatedly issues challenges to the martial arts
school of his rival Musashi, even though he never wins; he is a stickler
for tradition and fair play but is a sore loser and will never admit that
he has lost and never gives up his dream of one day winning a battle.
He has no need for additional courage and has tenacity to spare, but
he noticeably needs to get a life.

Event Location: "Quest: From the City Watch"
Description: An ordinary townsperson with high aspirations of being a hero
in his colleagues' eyes. He is pretty lousy at combat and doesn't even
know how to use his spear correctly, but at least he tries hard. He also
taunts a lot, so he may have a bit of an overconfidence problem. In
battle, he fights with a spear in ways that no spear has ever been used
before and taunts whenever the opportunity presents itself. It is
unknown what city watch these guys belong to, but judging by how inept
they are, they probably don't do a very good job of protecting the town.
Maybe the town wishes to remain anonymous so rumors of its horrible
city watch don't affect its tourism industry. Also, the state of this
city watch may be the reason why the "Protect Our Town" quests exist.

Description: A rather bedraggled and unassuming guy with ill-fitting
clothes. He was a member of the fake chosen group that traveled
Sylvarant two years ago, impersonating Colette's traveling group
and taking "donations" from townspeople. Christopher's role was to
impersonate Genis, although the two couldn't be less alike, and Genis
took Christopher's impersonation as a personal insult. He and the others
turned over a new leaf after being shown kindness by Lloyd and Colette
and now live in Hima. But what is Christopher doing in a band of
thieves with Melissa, and where are Jude and Colleena? In battle,
Christopher executes basic attacks with his knife and occasionally
taunts; he probably isn't very used to battling. To solve the epic
mystery of Christopher's tale, accept any "Defeat the Bandits" quest.

Event Location: "Quest: Defeat the Bandits"
Description: A blonde-haired sorceress with a snazzy sky-blue mage uniform.
She is friends with Christopher, but the two obviously don't share a
common fashion sense. She was a member of the fake chosen group that
traveled Sylvarant two years ago, impersonating Colette's traveling group
and taking "donations" from townspeople. Melissa's role was to
impersonate Raine, although she noticeably lacked Raine's patience and
depth of knowledge, and she can't heal to save her life. She and the
others turned over a new leaf after being shown kindness by Lloyd and
Colette and now live in Hima. But what is Melissa doing in a band of
thieves with Christopher, and where are Jude and Colleena? In battle,
Melissa launches magic blasts from her staff, bombards foes with
offensive spells, and, of course, taunts. She is a bit better at
combat than Christopher, but she seems to be pretty indecisive and often
can't make up her mind as to whether she wants to attack with her staff
or cast a spell. To solve the epic mystery of Melissa's tale, accept any
"Defeat the Bandits" quest.

Description: A well-armored spear-wielding knight of the Church of Martel.
It is impossible to see his face through that bulky helmet, but his
voice shows that he is either a nerd or a City Watch guy in disguise.
It's rather strange, though, because a Martel Knight is supposed to be
trained to handle a spear, yet this guy acts like he's never held one in
his life; I wonder what that could mean... Maybe you'll find out later.
In battle, he swings his spear in a rather awkward fashion and taunts
whenever the opportunity presents itself. There just seems to be
something strangely inept about this guy... Well, at least he doesn't
have that goofy southern accent that one Martel Knight has in the first
Symphonia.

Description: A low-ranking Vanguard member with blond hair, a powerful metal
claw worn over one hand, and a signature mask. He holds high aspirations
toward the revival of Sylvarant's ancient glory, but he is among the
gruntiest of grunts and isn't terribly powerful in battle. Most Vanguard
Pugilists serve under the orders of Hawk, the Vanguard lieutenant who
is a master at dual-wielding metal claws. In battle, a Vanguard
Pugilist punches with his metal claw and slashes with the blades at
the tip of each finger. He doesn't have any exceptional abilities,
although he loves to taunt.

Hawk Element: Wind Level Cap: 200

Event Location: Asgard
Description: A rather sullen-looking guy with bushy brown hair and a
mostly monochromatic suit; he wields a a pair of metal claws with sharp
blades attached when in battle. He was once commander of the Vanguard's
combat unit until Alice challenged him for the title and gave him a
humiliating defeat; he still highly resents her for it, and she never
ceases to rub the loss in his face, referring to him as "her pet" along
with her chimeras. Few realize it, but Hawk has an intense rivalry with
Magnar, a person who claims to be commandant of the Martel Knights but
has suspicious ties with the Vanguard, and the two are constantly
trying to show each other up and prove who is the best once and for all.
He hates the nickname "Hawkie" that Alice has given to him, even though
it is a term of slight endearment. In battle, Hawk uses his natural
agility to confound the foe before slashing with his metal claws and
using powerful claw techniques infused with explosive mental energy.

Magnar Element: Earth Level Cap: 200
Quirk: Magnar's element is Earth in the battle at Luin and Lightning in
the battle at Altessa's House. He must love cheating devices.
According to the game data, though, each version of Magnar is
counted as a different enemy. This is the version battled at Luin.

-Magnar proclaims, "Come, you fools!" Not much happens,
although Magnar is immune to staggering while taunting.
Dragon Fang (Strike, Base) TP:?? Learned at Lv.1
-Magnar swings his spear in a devastating horizontal arc to strike
foes in front and to his sides and then pulls his spear back to
slash foes in front with the bladed edge of the spear point.
If Magnar holds "B" while using this arte, he follows the arte
with the arte extension "Dragon Fang Tempest" which finishes the
attack by flinging the spear back over Magnar's head and launching
foes into the air.
Roaring Spear (Earth, Strike, Base) TP:?? Learned at Lv.12
-Magnar leaps high into the air and plunges his spear into the
ground in front of him, sending a shower of rock and earth energy
pouring out from the ground to pummel enemies. Note that the
spear hit is physical, while the rocks and earth energy are based
on the arte stats. This arte changes one minor element to Earth.

Event Location: Luin
Description: A rather portly mustachioed fellow with black hair, a bulky
suit of gold armor, and a disproportionately large spear with bladed
edges. He claims to be commandant of the Martel Knights, but he seems
to know a lot about the Vanguard and is on personal terms with many of
its high-ranking members... How mysterious. Maybe you'll discover more
later. Few realize it, but Magnar has an intense rivalry with Hawk,
one of the Vanguard's top combat lieutenants, and the two are constantly
trying to show each other up and prove who is the best once and for all.
Magnar also has a secret crush on Alice, commander of the Vanguard's
combat unit, and secretly wishes that she would call him by a nickname.
In battle, he compensates for his slow running speed with his phenomenal
skill with a spear, swinging it to knock his foes over and slash them
with the blades at the spear's tip and thrusting to inflict massive
damage; his blows are so powerful that he can even use his spear to
rend the earth itself, pummeling foes with slag and earth energy.

~ Don't Get Drowned in Basic Info! ~

===============================================================================

[s-sum1]
SUMMARY OF MONSTER GROUPS, ENCOUNTERS, AND HABITATS:
"What the Heck are the Basics to this Confusing Monster System?"

If you are a monster enthusiast who scours the frontiers of the world in
the hopes of finding a new monster friend, you are probably very eager to
learn more about where to search for each particular monster, how to befriend
them, and which useful items you can accumulate along the way. Before we
dive into the somewhat exciting world of monsters, however, we should first
establish a few key terms that I will mention again and again. Don't worry;
they're pretty simple and easy to understand, and are certainly not dreaded
Latin cognates.

First, let's establish the terms "monster group" and "encounter." Let's say,
for instance, you are taking a leisurely stroll through Lake Sinoa Cave when
a happy-looking bundle of gray fluffy fur known as a Wolf ambles by you. That
Wolf which you can see wandering about when you are not in a battle represents
a monster group. So does the Spider pacing back and forth a ways behind you.
We would refer to the group represented by the Wolf as a Wolf Group, and the
group represented by the Spider as a Spider Group. Now, let's say you find
that Wolf representing the Wolf Group so irresistably cute that you decide to
run over and pet it, forgetting for a moment that you are in a video game.
The instant you make contact with the Wolf Group, you are sucked into a battle.
Let's say that your opponents are a Wolf and a Gremlin. This combination of a
Wolf and a Gremlin is one of the Wolf Group's encounters. So is the team of a
Wolf and a Black Bat that you probably battled the other day. Basically, any
combination of monsters that you battle is known as an encounter, and every
time you touch a monster group, you are transported into one of its encounters.
Be sure to pay attention, now, and don't allow your unrequited desire to pet
something cute interfere with your ability to listen. (You can always pet the
Wolf you befriended in that pact-making tutorial, you know.)

Now, you have probably noticed that every monster group does not have the same
encounters. As you think about it, you realize that you have never touched
a Gremlin group only to find yourself battling two Mandragoras and two
Chimeras. Likewise, you realize that every time you touch a particular group,
you always run into one of a small handful of encounters, although they appear
at different probabilities. This is because every group has a total of five
possible encounters that can appear. The most common encounter appears 60% of
the time, the second encounter appears 15% of the time, the third appears 10%
of the time, the fourth also appears 10% of the time, and the fifth only
appears 5% of the time. Usually, a group has five distinct encounters, but
there are exceptions. For instance, as you think about that Wolf group, you
definitely cannot remember having seen as many as five different encounters
appear within it. This is because some groups contain "duplicate encounters,"
or two encounters containing the same combination of monsters. To illustrate,
let's take a look at all of the possible encounters that can appear in a
Wolf group.

Wolf Group:
60%: Wolf, Gremlin
15%: Wolf, Black Bat
10%: Wolf, Spider
10%: Wolf, Black Bat
5%: Wolf, Black Wolf

Ah, that Black Wolf caught your eye, didn't it? But hold on for a second and
take a closer look at the encounter list. Do you notice how there are five
encounters, but that the second and fourth encounter both contain a Wolf and
a Black Bat? This is an example of a "duplicate encounter." While there
really are five encounters, two are identical, so there are effectively four
different encounters that can show up. The "Wolf, Black Bat" encounter would
appear 25% of the time, since 15% plus 10% equals 25%. Also, do you notice
that every encounter contains a Wolf? Every encounter in a group contains at
least one of the monster that represents the group, which makes sense, if you
think about it. This obviously means that a Polwigle group is the best group
to face if you want to befriend a Polwigle, for instance, since every encounter
within that group is guaranteed to contain a Polwigle.

Now that the "Wolf, Black Bat" encounter is fresh in your mind, you may recall
having seen that encounter in a Black Bat group as well. This is because an
encounter is shared between every group represented by a monster that shows up
in that encounter. Let's say, for instance, you forget to fill up the bird
feeders one morning and get a Jabber group angry at you. When it challenges
you to a battle, you notice that the encounter that popped up contains two
Jabbers, a Light Wing, and an Automaton. Ignoring why a Light Wing and an
Automaton would be coming to a bird feeder in the first place, you remember
that you have seen that "Jabber X2, Light Wing, Automaton" encounter show up
in both a Light Wing group and an Automaton group as well. This information
can come in handy, since shared encounters do not share their percent chance
of appearing. A shared encounter may be common in one group but rare in
another, so if you have trouble triggering an encounter you are interested in,
just go to a different group represented by a monster in that encounter. Note
that there are very rare exceptions to this rule, but it almost always applies;
you should always double-check that a group is shared by looking in the
encounter list of this guide.

Have you also noticed how monsters that appear together in an encounter tend
to be found representing monster groups in the same area? This is because
monsters have specific "habitats" in which they live. A monster habitat
does not just tell you where a monster can be found: monsters sharing a habitat
will often appear together in encounters and be at around the same experience
level, regardless of where you actually find them. For instance, the habitat
of a Polwigle group is Lake Sinoa Cave. No matter where you find a Polwigle
group, whether in Lake Sinoa Cave, a D-Rank Quest, or your local library,
it will contain the same encounters with a select few monsters found in Lake
Sinoa Cave, and the monsters' levels will be around Lv.2 to Lv.5 if you are
playing on Normal difficulty. This means that quests containing monster groups
from different habitats will have a pretty significant level discrepancy
between monster groups; if, for instance, you battle a Black Bat group
containing monsters around Lv.2 and then battle a Gamat group containing
monsters around Lv.8, you can determine that those two groups are from
different habitats and that you will not find monsters from the Black Bat
group and the Gamat group in the same encounter.

Before we move on to the next section, know that there are some weird monster
groups, such as alpha groups, which defy some of the common rules I've
mentioned. Don't worry; I'll let you know about them later on in the guide.

SUMMARY OF BEFRIENDING MONSTERS:
"You Mean the Power of Friendship Really Exists?"

Well, now that you know all about monster groups, encounters, and habitats, I'm
sure you're eager to dash out there and put your newfound knowledge to use as
you try to make lots of new monster friends, but do you really know all of the
intricacies of befriending a monster? Tenebrae's explanation on the
pact-making system at the beginning of the game is very helpful if you listened
to him (you did listen, didn't you?), but I'll go into a little more detail and
also provide some other helpful information he left out.

First, in order to befriend a monster, the first obvious step is to find a
monster to befriend. You'll run into all sorts of monsters as you progress in
the game, but if you would like to know all of the monsters you can find in an
area, check the "Monster Encounter List Grouped by Habitat" section. If you
are looking for a particular monster, check the "Where to Find Each Monster"
section. Ah, but finish reading this section before you run off, or you won't
know what to do when you find the monster!

First things first, make sure that Emil is in your active party. He is
essential to befriending monsters, so he must be in battle. You probably
have him in the active party already, but check just to be sure he's there.

You're still thinking about that Black Wolf from the previous section, aren't
you? As you run off to Lake Sinoa Cave with your standard party of Emil,
Marta, your Imp, and your Wolf, hoping to nab that elusive Black Wolf, you
eagerly run into the Wolf group, and... Whoops. It's a Wolf and a Gremlin.
After a quick battle in which Marta says, "You're amazing!" at least three
times, you wonder how you can quickly battle the Wolf group again and again
so you can find that elusive Black Wolf. There are two ways you can go about
this. One way is to battle each encounter you face; after a battle, walk a
short distance away for a few seconds and then come back. If you walked far
enough away and waited just long enough, you should see the Wolf group
slowly fading back into reality like in "Close Encounters of the Thirty-Fifth
Kind"; as soon as it is solid, you can touch it to trigger another battle.
If it is not there, you either did not walk far enough away or did not wait
long enough; if it is already solid and walking around when you return, you
can save time by not waiting quite as long before returning. The advantage of
this method is that you can gain experience and items while you search, but it
takes longer than the second way. The second way is to set everyone to
"Hold Position" in the Strategy Menu and escape at the beginning of each
encounter, and then stand perfectly still until you are thrust into another
battle. This way is much faster than the first method IF at least one of your
active party members knows Run Away; otherwise, the escape speed will be so
slow that you'll be pulverized before you escape. Ah, and the more characters
know Run Away, the faster you will escape. In your case, let's say that Marta
and your Wolf both know Run Away, and your Imp will learn it once she reaches a
higher level, so the escape method will work well for you. If you want to use
the Run Away method, I highly recommend synthesizing four pairs of Feather
Boots and equipping them to Emil and Marta to phenomenally boost your escape
speed.

After escaping from battle several times, you suddenly find yourself</pre><pre id="faqspan-6">
face-to-face with a Wolf and a Black Wolf. Yippee! Ah, but the fun's just
about to start! First, press (+) to bring up the battle menu and set everyone,
including the character you are controlling, to "Hold Position," if they aren't
already; this will prevent your friends from messing you up when you're trying
to befriend a monster. By this time, you have probably noticed that the Black
Wolf actually has brown fur and is not black in color at all, rendering its
species name effectively meaningless. Weird, huh? Don't get distracted,
though!

Now, do you notice that strange assortment of colored circles at the lower-left
corner of the screen? If you paid attention to Tenebrae's explanation, you'd
know that it is the elemental grid, which affects many things in battle. In
order to befriend a monster, you must spellbind it; in order to spellbind it,
you must defeat it when the elemental grid's major element (the large circle)
is the same as at least four of its minor elements (the five small circles).
At the start of a battle, the major element is determined by what area you are
battling in, while the minor elements are randomly determined. Every time you
use an elemental arte (such as First Aid, which is of the Water element), the
element of that arte will appear in one of the small circles. When three of
the small circles are of the same element, they will empty and cause the large
circle to change to that element.

Now, how do we apply this information? Let's look at the elemental grid now:
the major element is Water, like it always is at the start of a battle in
Lake Sinoa Cave, and the randomly determined minor elements are Wind, Fire,
Wind, Darkness, and Water. Since at least four of the minor elements are not
the same as the major element, defeating monsters now will not spellbind them.
This is actually a good thing: if you spellbind more than one monster in the
same battle, the game will randomly pick which would offer to join. Thus, you
do NOT want to spellbind the Wolf, or it might offer to join instead of the
Black Wolf. That would be terrible! Since defeating monsters now will not
spellbind them, go ahead and quickly defeat the Wolf while your friends sit
back and watch. They will guard any attacks that come toward them, since
"Hold Position" tells them to focus completely on protecting themselves, and
they will not attack and mess you up. They also will not heal, however, so
keep an eye on their HP and use an item or a healing arte if you need to.

Now that the Wolf has been defeated and has fled the battle, you can focus on
the only monster left, which is the one you want to befriend. Now is the time
to fill the elemental grid! If you spellbind a monster when the elemental grid
is filled with that monster's element, it will have a higher chance of joining,
so let's look at the Black Wolf's element. Hold (-); now, you can see the
Black Wolf's HP (Wow! That's a lot of HP!) and its element, which is Darkness.
Er, whoops. You don't have any Darkness-elemental artes yet, do you? Don't
worry; you don't need to match the elemental grid to the monster's element,
although it does slightly raise the odds of the monster joining, so you should
match the elemental grid to the monster's element when possible and not worry
about it when not possible. At this point, your only elemental arte may be
Marta's First Aid, so switch control to Marta if you're not already controlling
her. If Emil suddenly starts attacking like a maniac, this means that you
were controlling Emil and forgot to set him to "Hold Position" anyway, so
quickly set him to "Hold Position" before he does anything stupid.

Now that you are controlling Marta, figure out whom the Black Wolf is
attacking. If it is focusing on anyone other than Marta, you're good to go.
If it is chasing Marta, you won't have time to pull off a First Aid before it
attacks and interrupts the spell. To solve this problem, free-run around a
bit, trying to lure the Black Wolf into switching targets to one of your other
friends. If this doesn't work, guard some of its attacks while standing near
your friends, and the Black Wolf may change targets after a while. If this
doesn't work, switch control to Emil and try to run in the Black Wolf's way
and get its attention. If all else fails and it STILL is obsessed with Marta,
hit the Black Wolf once with a single weak attack from Emil; this should
definitely get its attention.

Now that the Black Wolf is leaving Marta alone, have her free-run to a corner
and cast First Aid again and again. You'll notice the elemental grid slowly
fill up with water. You can also do this with any other elemental arte: just
free-run to a corner and use it again and again to fill the elemental grid.
You can even open up the artes menu and order one of your monsters to use one
of its own elemental artes again and again, like the Polwigle's Prayer arte.
Once the elemental grid's major element is the same as at least four of the
minor elements, defeating a monster will spellbind it. Now, defeat the Black
Wolf with whomever you are most comfortable controlling, and be sure to NOT
use any elemental artes, or you may undo all of your hard work.

Now, the battle is won, and everyone does their little victory pose, and you
may hear an amusing quote or two ("You're SOOOO amazing!"). After the battle
results, you will see that the Black Wolf is offering to join! Say "Join"
since you obviously want it to join. That handy explanation window will now
ask you if you want to use a monster to strengthen the pact; you can choose
your Imp, your Wolf, or no one at all, and you notice your Imp has a small star
next to it. No, that doesn't mean that your Imp is now a movie star; I'll
explain below.

Basically, if you choose a monster to strengthen the pact, it may increase the
odds that the monster you want to befriend will join instead of turning up its
nose and wandering off somewhere, leaving you wallowing in self-pity. The more
stars next to a monster (up to a maximum of three), the more it will increase
the odds of your potential friend joining if you choose it to strengthen the
pact. Your Imp has one star, so it will slightly raise the odds that the Black
Wolf will join. Right now, I know of a few rules that determine how many pact
stars a monster will have, although there are more that I haven't figured out
yet. Follow these rules step-by-step to determine the pact star total.

1. If your monster is the same element as the potential recruit, add one to its
pact star number.

2. If your monster has an elemental weakness to the potential recruit, add two
to its pact star number. Remember, Earth beats Lightning beats Water beats Fire
beats Ice beats Wind beats Earth. For Light and Darkness, see rule seven, as
they have special properties.

3. If your monster has a family weakness to the potential recruit, add three
to its pact star number. Remember, Plant beats Aquatic beats Beast beats Bird
beats Insect beats Plant, and Free Form beats Magical Being beats Ghost beats
Demon beats Dragon beats Free Form.

4. If your monster is a certain number of levels higher than the potential
recruit (I'm not sure of the exact number of levels yet), add one to its pact
star number. If it is MUCH higher-leveled than the potential recruit, add two
to its pact star number. (I will confirm the exact number of levels to
determine when additional pact stars are added when I can.)

5. If your monster has an elemental strength to the potential recruit, subtract
one from its pact star number.

6. If your monster has a family strength to the potential recruit, subtract
two from its pact star number.

7. If your monster is Darkness-elemental and you are trying to befriend a
Light-elemental monster, or if your monster is Light-elemental and you are
trying to befriend a Darkness-elemental monster, subtract three from its pact
star number.

8. If your monster is a certain number of levels lower than the potential
recruit (I'm not sure of the exact number of levels yet), subtract one from
its pact star number. If it is MUCH lower-leveled than the potential recruit,
subtract two from its pact star number. (I will confirm the exact number of
levels to determine when additional pact stars are subtracted when I can.)

9. If the resulting number is zero or a negative number, your monster will
have a zero-star pact with the potential recruit. If the resulting number is
one, your monster will have a one-star pact with the potential recruit. If the
resulting number is two, your monster will have a two-star pact with the
potential recruit. If the resulting number is three or above, your monster
will have a three-star pact with the potential recruit.

Well, that was a mouthful. Anyway, it doesn't seem that different monsters are
more difficult to befriend than others, so you ought to always have a good
chance of having the monster join as long as you plan ahead and bring a monster
that will have a three-star pact with it. Even with a three-star pact,
however, there is a good chance that the monster will not join, so just be
patient and it shouldn't be long before the monster joins.

After impatiently skipping the pact scene by pressing A, you succeed in getting
the Black Wolf to join! Yippee! It has a female name, so maybe your Wolf
(which is male) and it can be boyfriend and girlfriend; that is, if your Black
Wolf doesn't start bragging about how she's evolved and how your Wolf isn't.
Let's hope she's modest. XD

SUMMARY OF OBTAINING ITEMS FROM MONSTERS:
"You Mean I Can Take Their Stuff?"

Well, you have your Black Wolf, and you're happy. However, you noticed that
your Black Wolf dropped a Wolf Fur before she joined. "How can I get more
neat stuff like this?" you ask yourself. Well, it's actually really simple,
so this section should be shorter than the previous two. Lucky you!

Let's open our Monster Book and look at the entry for "Treant." Now that you
know that Treants are more knowledgeable than they look and you decide to have
your Treant write your English essay for you, look at the Treant entry's item
section while your Treant slaves away with pencil and paper in the background.
Do you notice how there are two entries that say "(Drop)," one entry that says
"(Leave)," and one entry that says "(Steal)"? This is the same for every other
monster's entry, so it means that each monster has up to two items that it can
drop, no more than one item that it can leave, and no more than one item that
you can steal from it. Note, however, that not all monsters have an item for
every entry; for instance, many monsters don't have anything that you can steal
from them, so their "(Steal)" entry will always be blank. You don't really
know whether they have any drop, leave, or steal items until you get them, at
which point they will be automatically filled in in the Monster Book.
Conveniently, the Treant does not have any blank item entries, so it drops two
items, leaves one item, and can have one item stolen from it.

If an item can be dropped, that means that you may find the item after
defeating the monster in battle. I don't know WHY monsters drop such nice
things as a reward for defeating them, but hey; I'm not complaining! Anyway,
some drop items will drop more frequently than others. For instance, a Treant
will drop Lumber much more often than it will drop Tree Sap, but it can drop
both at once if you're lucky (or neither if you're unlucky). If you want to
increase the odds of finding dropped items, have lots of characters with the
Item Finder skill in your active party. Raging_Time's Monster Breeding Guide
is a nice source for determining all of the monsters that learn Item Finder
skills. Remember, Item Finder stacks, so try to cram as many Item Finder
skills into your active party as possible.

If an item can be left, that means that if a monster offers to join and you
decline its offer, it will leave the item as a present in recognition of your
strength. Left items usually consist of gels, but some rarer monsters leave
medicinal herbs that permanently raise stats by a bit, while others leave
manuscripts that give monsters free experience. You never know what a monster
will leave until you test it out yourself, so go ahead and try: you might find
a monster leaves something really neat that you'll want to get again and again!
To get a leave item, just do the process of befriending a monster described in
the previous section, but decline its offer to join; it becomes really easy to
do once Emil learns his first elemental arte.

If an item can be stolen, that means that you have a chance of snatching the
item every time one of your characters uses an arte that can steal. Marta's
Roaring Phoenix and Colette's Item Thief are easy to pull off yourself, and you
can have monsters help as well with artes like Desperate Charge, Leg Sweep,
Overgrowth, Hunt Down, and Thievery. Raging_Time's guide is a nice resource to
use to determine which monsters learn stealing artes. Remember, however, that
you have a CHANCE to steal the item; you may have to try again and again until
you see a handy message pop up notifying that you successfully stole an item.
You can't steal an item more than once per battle from the same monster, by the
way, but you can steal from it in successive battles. A monster will never
truly run out of steal items, so don't feel guilty or anything. Having lots
of characters with the Item Getter skill will increase the odds that you will
successfully steal an item (again, see Raging_Time's guide), and stealing from
different monsters will have different chances of success. Overall, though,
just keep trying until you snatch your desired item, and above all else, make
sure that the monster actually has something to steal!

By the way, if you are looking for a particular item that can be obtained from
a monster, check the "Where to Search for Items Obtained from Monsters"
section of this guide.

VERSION HISTORY:
"What was Updated Since the Last Time I Looked at This?"

Version 0.01: At the moment, the guide is an utter work in progress,
incomplete in essentially every area, although the three summaries are done.
There should still be some helpful information here, though, and the guide is
constantly being updated.

Version 0.5: Most primary sections are overall done. There is still a lot of
work to do with the event encounter lists and the comprehensive information
lists, however. Also, most parts of the monster encounter list will later be
overhauled for ease of use and to insert added information. This is the
version that first showed up on GameFAQs. Nostalgia wave!

Version 0.8: The guide now has every normal encounter recorded (to my
knowledge), including all of the corner seal groups in Gladsheim. New sections
were added involving characters not included in the Monster Book, and a lot of
reformatting was done, although further reformatting will still be done in the
future. Hopefully, the guide should now be a lot easier to use and look at.

IMPORTANT PEOPLE WHO MADE THIS GUIDE POSSIBLE:
"Who Deserves Some Seriously Huge Thanks?"

Remember, this guide would not be possible without the many people who have
helped and who are currently helping to collect data, work out algorithms,
and aid with formatting, among other important tasks.

Very Major Contributors:

Raging_Time, for providing lots of encounter data, testing and proposing
theories, helping with the formatting of this guide, supplying his Monster
Breeding Guide as an essential resource, and recommending that I create this
guide in the first place. Also, he figured out how to get this guide up
on Google Docs, which was a lot harder than it sounds.

finding the two hidden Ginnungagap seal guardian encounters, for
providing information from the player's guide, and for generally
doing a lot of other very helpful research on the game.

AkaneJones, for determining all of the normal encounters and event
encounters that can be found on quests and for figuring out a lot of
information on quests in general. This was of MAJOR help, because there
were several quest types that I was long unable to trigger myself.

information.

Slurffle, for providing 7 quests worth of incomplete groups.

Burningsock, for providing encounter data for Ginnungagap groups.

I_miss_Narga, for determining how to trigger the good quest selection.

MartelYggdrasil, for writing an amazing cooking guide that is a terrific
resource for raising monsters. I'd never have had the patience to gather
that much data. >_>
