Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is a game produced by Square-Enix to celebrate
the partnership between Square and Nintendo for the Nintendo GBA. Although
it bears the same name as the original PlayStation version (with 'Advance'
tacked on at the end), FFTA is a different game. The only real characteristic
that FFTA has in common with FFT is the whole strategic, tactical aspect of
the battle.
Like all RPGs, Final Fantasy Tactics is full of complications in which new
players might get tangled with. This guide is designed to be both a reference
for veteran players, and a strategy guide for those newer players.

| |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2. FAQ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[2000]~| |
|_|=========================================================================|_|
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] How long is this game?
[A] This game is really pretty long. The game itself is 300 missions
long.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] I failed a mission which had an item I needed to do another mission!
What do I do?!
[A] Don't get all panicky just yet! Most of the time, the game will allow
you to redo dispatch missions so you can get that item even though
you failed the first time. However, at times, the mission once
failed won't appear ever again. Try not to fail too many to avoid
this.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Why is there no "Controls" section in this FAQ?
[A] I felt it wasn't needed. In it's place, I put my "Basics to Battling"
section.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] What does it mean when it says, "[Insert name] has mastered [Insert
Ability]?"
[A] Your member has mastered that particular ability. If you needed an
item to use that ability, you can now use that ability whenever you
want without the item. I would suggest immediately learning a new
ability after mastering one so you don't waste experience.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] How many missions are there in all? I need help finding them and
completing them!
[A] There are 300 missions in all which you can undergo and accomplish.
Keep in mind that there are also three or four "Reserve" missions
which don't count to your mission count. Don't worry, I'll list them
as well as provide strategy to completing them.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Does it really matter which missions you do first?
[A] You can do the missions in any order you would like. Although
sometimes, doing one mission ahead of the other might help you out
quite a bit. However, there will always be this one objective that
you must complete to advance through the game. Read the walkthrough
for more information.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] What does the [Insert number here]+[h] icon in the upper right corner
mean?
[A] It's the land unit height. For example, say that a piece of land is
1 unit high. Then it would be 3h. Certain characters can only jump
a few units high while others can jump higher. Experiment around with
them.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] How do I complete Mission [Insert mission here]?
[A] The walkthrough holds the required missions to advance through the
game. Apart from that, you can just read the Missions list for the
remaining ones.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] What do the Move, Jump, and Evade stats mean?
[A] Move is the amount of steps your character can take in one turn. Jump
is the amount of tiles a character can jump (Read above). And Evade
is how evasive the clanner is in avoiding attacks and status ailments
against.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] What exactly are: Atk., Def., Pow., Res., and Speed stats?
[A] Atk. stands for Weapon Attack; how much damage your character can do
with the equipped weapon. Def. stands for Weapon Defense. This stat
is how much punishment from another weapon your clanner can take. Pow.
stands for Magic Power, which is how powerful your character's magic
is, and finally, Res. stands for Magic Resistance, which is the same
as Weapon Defense except it shows your characters resistance to magic.
Speed is obviously, how fast your character is. Faster characters move
first.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] What is a Totema?
[A] Totemas are the protector of the five crystals. Each one represents
each race. During the game, you will be fighting all five to destroy
all five crystals. Upon defeating a Totema, you will be able to use
its power in battle with 10 JP.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] There is a way to predict how much damage your attack will inflict and
the accuracy of it, somewhere. Right?
[A] This question is kind of stupid as those figures are in plain sight.
Right before you initiate a move, the estimated damage and accuracy
is shown right above your character's HP count. You can see this for
any move, even your enemys'.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Can any unit learn an Ultima attack?
[A] The answer to that is no. Only a select few jobs can learn the Ultima
attacks. However, while powerful, they are incredibly pricy. AP is
999 and MP cost is a whopping 60!
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Okay, how do you learn moves like White Wind or Mighty Guard if the
enemy monster won't use it on you?
[A] This is one of the many hardships for getting a Blue Mage. If you ever
want to see your Blue Mage learn an ability like that, you are going
to need a Beastmaster. Tell your Beastmaster to control the monster
that holds the ability, and then force the monster to use it on you.
For example, to get White Wind, you need your Beastmaster to know the
ability, Fairy. Therefore, the Beastmaster can control the Sprite.
Force White Wind onto the Blue Mage and there you go. The same goes
for all other non-offensive attacks.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] I don't understand why the Bomb/Grenade doesn't hold the Blowup
ability for my Blue Mage. What is up?
[A] For that ability to be available, the controlled Bomb/Grenade must
be in critical health. Then, control it, and you will note that the
ability magically appeared. However, be aware that there is a 20%
chance that this will not occur. Continually control it with your
Beastmaster, and you should see it eventually. I have noticed that
the chances go up considerably when the Bomb/Grenade is surrounded
on three-four sides. If it can't move while in critical health, it
will most likely hold the Blowup ability.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Can a Blue Mage learn from another Blue Mage?
[A] Although Learning is expected to be used from monsters, you can teach
your Blue Mage moves from another Blue Mage.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] I'm a Blue Mage idiot. How do you learn a move like Roulette if it
KOs you instantly?
[A] There is a simple answer to that. Cast Auto-Life on it or simply hold
an item like Angel Ring to automatically get an Auto-Life.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Can the Thief's ability, Steal: Ability steal any ability?
[A] No, it can only steal an ability that's learned by a job in it's
race. For example, say Crout, the (human) Thief decides to steal a
Templar's ability. That's impossible as the abilities that a Templar
learns cannot be learned by any human job. However, if he uses Steal:
Ability on any human, he'll get an ability. There are some exceptions
however. Crout can still use Steal: Ability on a White Monk, and get
one of two ability, Air Render or Far Fist. Why? Because Air Render
and Far Fist are abilities that the human Fighter can learn.
Therefore, Crout will master the Fighter A-Ability.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Which is better? Turbo MP or Geomancy?
[A] Turbo MP doubles the MP usage, but creates bigger damage and best of
all, improves your hit rate. However, Geomancy on the other hand
doesn't affect the MP cost, but it does improve Magic Power. I prefer
Turbo MP on my units with lots of MP (Illusionist), and Geomancy
with more offensive spells (Black Mage).
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Do the eight skill levels do anything else other than being requisites
for certain missions?
[A] Yes, they do one more thing. Upon reaching a certain level for each
skill, you will get items. Most of them cannot be bought in the Shop
so you will want to get those skill levels up to collect all of them.
You will find a full list in the "Your Clan" section.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] How many Mission Items are there in all?
[A] I would believe there are 122 (more or less). Check the "Your Clans"
section for a full list.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] What's the maximum amount of Mission Items you can carry?
[A] I would believe that figure is 64. Any more, and you will be forced to
throw one of them out.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] When do I get to use Law Cards?
[A] Law Cards become available after completing Mission #6 Antilaws, and
rescusing Ezel. From that point, you can visit Ezel's shop in Cadoan
and bargain for different Cards.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] How do I use Law Cards?
[A] When it's one of your unit's turn, press the B Button and the game
menu will appear. Select Law Cards and choose the Law Card you want
to use.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] What's the difference between a White Card and a Dark Card.
[A] The White Cards are Law Cards that add a law. They are useful when
your enemy is using a move which you really hate. For example, if your
opponent constantly Charms you, you might want to add a Charm Law
Card so that your opponent can't use Charm anymore without
receiving Yellow Cards. Dark Cards are the Antilaws. These work the
exact opposite by deleting or "nullifying" The day's Laws. Use these
to take out any pesky Laws that you don't like.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] How many Law Cards and Antilaws can you carry in all?
[A] That number is 24. If you attempt to hold one more, you will be forced
to throw one out. Don't let that happen, as you can simply trade away
the cards you don't like for useful cards.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] If an ability requires 999 AP, does that mean it can't be mastered?
[A] I know it might already be an instinct after playing a lot of other
games to think that 999 AP means infinite AP, but yes, you can still
master them. Even though it does indeed take a while to get that 999
AP, it is possible. You will find that some higher end abilities
require that amount.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Can a Beastmaster control a Morpher when he is in Morph mode?
[A] Although that would be pretty cool, the answer is no. Even when the
Morpher is "morphed," it cannot be controlled by the Beastmaster.
They can only control genuine monsters, not imitation.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Is it true that prices differ from Shop to Shop?
[A] Yes, that is true. Generally, Shops sell items in which the inhabitant
of that town uses, at a cheaper price. For example, Muscadet is a
Viera town. Therefore, all weapons and items that Viera's use are at
a cheaper price. Rapiers are a perfect example. At the Baguba Port
Shop (Moogle town), items like Guns and Knuckles will be down in
price, etc.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] I threw out [Insert Mission Item here]. Can I get another one?
[A] That depends. If it's an item like Black Thread or something like
that, you will have to start over or trade with a friend. Certain
mission items can be received again and again but certain items
require you to keep them.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] How do you save in mid-battle?
[A] When it's one of your unit's turn, press the B Button and the game
menu will appear. Choose the save option that should be at the bottom
and save your game. Keep in mind that once you load up a game file
saved in battle, the file will automatically disappear afterwards.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] What are the possible status ailments or things that appear in bubble
above a character?
[A] There are quite a few. Some of then are good while the others are bad.
Here's a quickie list;
- Addle (Addles foe to prevent enemy from using abilities.)
- Astra (Automatically nullifies the first negative status
ailment against.)
- Auto-Life (Upon receiving Auto-Life, your unit will be revived
automatically upon being KOed.)
- Berserk (Unit will attack on its own, but attack power is
increased.)
- Blind (Blinds foe to greatly lowers accuracy and increase hit
rate on that enemy.)
- Charm (Charms foe to think that enemy is on your side.)
- Confuse (Confuses foe so that enemy will attack the nearest
unit no matter of friend or foe.)
- Control (Controls enemy monsters to accept your orders for one
turn.)
- Cover (A Paladin's tech. The Paladin will take all the damage
for that unit during one turn.)
- Disable (Disables foe to prevent enemy from using "Action.")
- Doom (Dooms foe to automatically KO that unit within three
turns.)
- Frog (Turns foe into a Frog. Enemy will not be able to use
any abilities and attack power is greatly reduced.)
- Haste (Speeds up unit.)
- Immobilize (Immobilizes foe to prevent enemy from using
"Move.")
- Petrify (Petrifies foe and turns enemy into stone. Petrified
units count as KOed unless revived by item.)
- Poison (Poisons foe so that enemy is hurt by Poison every
turn.)
- Protect (Cast Protect to protect against weapon attacks.)
- Reflect (Cast a Barrier to slingshot back all magic, good or
bad, back at caster.)
- Shell (Casts Shell to protect against magic attacks.)
- Silence (Silence a foe so that enemy will not be able to speak
and use any magic spells.)
- Sleep (Puts foe to Sleep. Will not wake up until struck.)
- Slow (Slows down unit.)
- Stop (Stops unit completely.)
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] WHAT THE **** HAPPENED TO BAHUMAT?!
[A] Well, it was removed from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Yes, I know
it was in the regular Tactics for the PS, but this time, Bahumat
won't be making its appearance.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Are there any secret characters?
[A] Yes, there are quite a few. Check the section with the same name for
more information.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Is Babus really a Nu Mou? He doesn't look like it.
[A] I have heard this many of a time, and I have one answer, yes. Babus
is discussed often because of his non-resemblance to normal Nu Mou.
While I just think that this is caused by his obvious well-groomed
lifestyle (Just look how shiny he looks!), others think that he was
modeled after Mewt's teddy bear. It's a useless bit of trivia, but
interesting nonetheless.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
[Q] Are there any cheat codes in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance?
[A] *dies*

| |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. Basics to Battling ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[3000]~| |
|_|=========================================================================|_|
The game will provide you a small tutorial at the beginning of the game (even
though it's a snowball fight instead of a real battle). This should usually be
enough for most people but if you still are confused, here's the basics to
battling in my own words.
When you start off, you usually have to place the clan members you want in
the fight immediately on the deck. You can only place them on the blue squares
flashing and most missions and encounters don't let you exceed six on the
field at once. Once you have placed your character, you can change the
direction you want them to be facing. Try to be smart when picking your
characters. If the law states no swords, then putting eight soldiers on the
field won't help you. Also, try to face your clan members towards the enemy.
As you progress through the game, you will learn more and more about where
to place your players and in what positions. Most of the time, I would put
all Archers and people with ranged attacks in the front along with the main
Soldiers and melee members. White Mages usually aren't made to attack enemies
so keep them in the rear. It's all about strategy.
The player with the fastest speed (you or the enemy) will move first. To move,
you first have to select "Move" from the menu. The pieces of land in blue are
currently accessible. You might want to move to attack an enemy or avoid an
enemy's attack. If you currently are a melee member, try to get in back of
your target or to the sides. It's much easier to hit an enemy if you get them
from the back. Same thing with Archers and ranged attacks.
To attack an enemy or just use an ability, use the "Action" icon when you are
in range for an attack or an ability. After selecting what you want, there
will be a "Do It" or "Cancel" option. If you have second thoughts about
using the move you currently are, you can cancel it and go back. Successive
hits will gain you experience as well as help you win against your opponent.
You can tell one of your members to "Wait." This means that they won't do
anything. You can still select which direction they will face though. If you
tell a member to "Wait," they will have their turn earlier next round.
This turn of turns will continue until everyone gets a chance to move or use
"Action." Then it will cycle back around. The order will for the most part,
never stay the same. People will constantly Wait and they will get earlier
positions.
That's really the hang of it really. Be sure to check the laws (do that by
pressing B when it's one of your members turn and pressing Law on the main
menu). Breaking them will give you either a Yellow Card or a Red Card. Two
Yellow Cards equal a Red Card and then you will be sent to prison. Bailing a
member will cost you gil however so try not to get caught too much.

| |
| Long before Noah built his ark, the tales |
| tell of an ancient land called Kiltia... |
| a world where swords and sorcery reigned. |
| |
| Its learning and power were swept away in |
| the great flood, but one clue to its |
| secrets remained: an ancient book known |
| as the Gran Grimoire, hidden in darkness |
| by the powers that once were. |
| |
| It is not certain how many copies of the |
| book still exist, but it is said that |
| whoever should hold one holds the power |
| to change the world. |
| |
| Many lived out their days searching the |
| world for surviving copies, but none were |
| ever found. |
| |
| It was an illusion, they said. A myth-- |
| but one worth dying for. |
| |
| Our story begins soon after a young boy |
| named Marche moves to the country town of |
| St. Ivalice. Marche's family has had a |
| difficult past, and it is all he can do |
| to adjust to country life with the help |
| of his new friends: Mewt, a mature but |
| timid boy who often gets picked on, and |
| Ritz, a stellar student whose strong- |
| willed nature has made her unpopular at |
| school. They are friends, though they |
| barely know more than each other's names. |
| But one day, the three of them come |
| across an ancient magical book, and St. |
| Ivalice changes forever... |

Of course, the walkthrough is meant to be a mission-by-mission walkthrough
throughout the length of the entire game. There will be a load of major
spoilers throughout the walkthrough obviously so read at your own risk.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
The game starts off immediately in the local school yard. You are Marche (you
can change your name later on) and you are a new kid in the town of St.
Ivalice. Immediately into the game, a group of kids begin making fun of a
boy named Mewt. Marche decides to stand up a bit for him, but instead, the
bullies begin teasing over Marche. Luckily, a local named Ritz decides to
stand up for the both of them. Type in your name (or leave it at Marche if
you'd like). The annoying bully will switch teams as Ritz offers him and the
first battle of the game will go underway.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Team Activity : Snowball Fight \
|=================================\
Difficulty: Very Easy
Enemies:
Nurse
D.J. (Guiness)
PE Head (Colin)
PE Head (Lyle)
This is really just a tutorial rather than a real full-scale battle. First off,
Mr. Leslaie, your teacher will offer to teach you a little bit about snowball
fights. Ritz will offer to help as well. You should try to pay attention to
it the best you can. When the small tutorial is finished, press "No" to
continue.
Now the controls are finally given over to you. Experiment a bit moving, and
throw snowballs at your leisure (By the way, pay no attention to their job
names, they don't make any sense). Don't sweat over this battle. You can't win
or lose let alone KOing anyone at all. After the second turn begins(Or until
Mewt loses all HP), Mewt will begin to run... The boys see this as a perfect
opportunity to get some more comments in.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
The bullies will continue to throw snowballs at Mewt and Mewt only. Luckily,
Ritz finally moves in to help out the poor kid. The last snowball from Colin
will knock a gash in Mewt's forehead and cause it to bleed which Marche will
notice immediately. Ritz will get a bit angry and blame the boys for being
totally unjustified and for being big, fat meanies. That was really the last
straw for those boys and they now begin making fun of Ritz, calling her
"whitey-locks" for her white hair (It might just be me but I think girls with
white hair are hot). With that last move, Ritz loses it and if not for Mr.
Leslaie who had just walked in the nick of time, she would have probably
beaten the living crap out of Colin. That sure would have been interesting!
After Mr. Leslaie brings away the three boys (BUSTED!), the scene will shift
to an empty playground with Ritz, Mewt, and Marche. Mewt will thank both Marche
and Ritz for helping him on the playground and then asks Marche what he's
doing after school. Marche will explain that he has to pick up his brother from
the hospital and Mewt offers to bring over a special "book" for his two
new friends. Marche accepts along with Ritz who also decides to tag along.
The scene will shift once again and some soft, friendly music will play. You
will be on the city streets where a pretty hardcore-looking man appears to
be apologizing to two officials. Apparently, he must have done something...
Ritz will say some pretty mean things about Mewt's dad, obviously unknowing
that the man is Mewt's father. There will be some typical "father & son" small
talk and then Marche will leave the screen along the Mewt's father. Ritz will
explain to Mewt that Marche's family is also a bit disfunctional. Marche
doesn't have a dad.
Scene shift to a boy sitting in a wheelchair. Marche will walk in and greet
his brother, Doned. Marche will explain that they had a snowball fight today.
Doned asks if they picked on him again and Marche will tell him that he's
just not used to sports. Doned makes a wise-crack, saying Marche was never
good at sports, and laughs. Soon, Mewt and Ritz will arrive and Mewt brings
out his book. Mewt says that he doesn't even know what the title is and they
open up the book.
A colorful cinematic will occur. Note the strange creatures that are drawn
throughout the book. You will be meeting some of them very soon. Marche will
say that he can't read those letters at all. Ritz thinks that the book is in
Latin and Mewt will read some incomprehensible letters. Doned will then say
that he wishes he could use magic. And then again, Doned tells Marche that
maybe if he could use magic, he'd be better at sports. Everyone laughs (Except
for Marche of course). Mewt then says that it would be cool if this book were
real. Ritz then says that books are usually boring and games are a lot more
likeable. Following is a discussion on what game they would love to live. Mewt
says he would love Final Fantasy, his favorite. Then, Marche's two friends
leave and another cinematic appears.
Suddenly, the local schoolyard turns into a desert and the town street
transforms into a busy marketplace with strange creatures. Cut to Marche's
room where the two are sleeping. Doned disappears somewhere and Marche floats
up and changes clothes. He is then sent to a desert town somewhere...
Marche wakes and wonders where the heck he could possibly be. He looks at the
creatures and gets a bit confused. He then walks up a bit and runs into a
lizard-like creature (A Bangaa). Unknowing of their proper name, Marche calls
them lizards which obviously got them pretty angry. Luckily, a talking stuffed
animal comes and saves the day. The thing (A Moogle) will explain to the
Bangaa that Marche just came from the countryside. Marche apologizes and all
is well... until the Bangaa challenges Marche to an engagement...
A strange person in armor appears and the Moogle explains that the Bangaa is
engaging you.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Engage With : Bangaas \
|========================\
Difficulty: Very Easy
Enemies:
White Monk
Warrior
Marche then understands that Engage means fight. The Moogle then delivers a
fairly comedic affirmative. The Moogle then explains that the person in armor
is a judge and the laws for today are fixed. The Moogle then tells a confused
Marche that the law for today bans Items and advises Marche to always check
the law. Soon, it'll be your turn...
Remember the Snowball Fight? Well, an engagement is basically the same thing.
You are a Soldier right now and you are armed with a Shortsword. Move up to
the Bangaa (Go to the side or back for a better chance of hitting) and Fight
him. The Moogle (Who's name, you'll find out is Montblanc) is a Black Mage and
he'll use his elemental attacks. This is a very easy battle. Just defeat the
two Bangaas to win.
Along the battle, you will learn about Judge Points as well. Montblanc will
explain that they allow you to do combos with other clan members. (But later,
they'll be used for the Totemas...)
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
After the battle, the Bangaa you just KOed will rise again and use a Potion to
heal his HP. However, do you remember the law on Items? The judge will
immediately notice and runs over to send the Bangaa to prison. Montblanc will
then explain to Marche the jail system where the people who break laws go to.
The Moogle will explain that his name is Montblanc if you hadn't already
known. Montblanc will ask Marche a few questions and in the end, Marche learns
that he really has gotten himself into something weird. Montblanc will bring
you to his clan. He then gives you the honor of naming the clan. If you can't
come up with any ideas, just use the default, Nutsy. But let me tell you
something, if I ever link with you and you have Nutsy as your clan title, I
will impale you with a leaking pen (For real). You can easily tell how much
I despise it.
And finally, you will appear at the world map where you are to place the
Sprohm symbol. Notice all the empty circles. By the end of the game, you
would have filled up all of them give or take one. Also, you should now notice
that you have a chance to save. I would suggest you do that right now.
Head over to Cyril (If you aren't already there) and go to the Shop. I would
suggest upgrading some of your character's armor (not weapons yet. I'm sure
you'd rather learn their abilities first) and perhaps give them a few
accessories. When that's done, head over to the Pub and read some of the
Rumors. They are very helpful so I'd suggest going through them all. When
you're done with that, go back and select Missions.
There's only one on the board so select Herb Picking. Read through the mission
description if you like and the Pubmaster will explain to you Mission Items,
then hit OK and confirm that you want this mission. He'll take 300 Gil as the
information cost and that's your first mission. Montblanc will ask you about
your mission and Marche will respond. When you are ready, head over to Giza
Plains. Be sure to check the law for today before engaging.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Herb Picking \
|=========================\
Difficulty: Very Easy
Enemies:
Goblin
Goblin
Goblin
Red Cap
Sprite
Enter the Giza Plains area and Marche and Montblanc will walk in. Immediately,
Marche will notice some monsters and note that they will have to clear them
out. You are allowed four more clan members (or everyone in your clan
obviously) to join the battle. This isn't difficult at all so you can take
your time. The Goblins aren't very powerful but the Red Cap can cause some
problems. I'd suggest bombarding it with Black Magic from Montblanc. The
Sprite should probably be left for last as it doesn't use any abilities and
its Fight move does miniscule damage. Once you defeat all enemies, you will
have completed your first mission!
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
After the mission, Montblanc will ask you what you were supposed to be
collecting again. Marche will respond with Muscmaloi and Montblanc will
explain that they grow all over the place. Oh well, it was an easy mission and
hopefully, it familiarized the battle system a bit.
Get to either Sprohm or Cyril and check the Pub again. There will be quite a
few missions for you to play through. Notice the missions at the top. Most of
the time, those missions are the ones required to get through the game. The
remaining are just optional quests. However, I would strongly suggest you
complete the other three missions before disembarking for the mission, Thesis
Hunt and gain a few levels.
You might also notice a Mission that doesn't have a sword symbol next to it,
but instead, a scroll. This is a dispatch mission and there's no engagement
involved. Choosing one of your clanners to dispatch, they will be gone for
the days listed and return at the end of that period. You can fail or win it,
but all that depends on the clanner you choose to send out. As you progress
through the game, you'll learn more about it.
When you think you are ready, buy the mission, Thesis Hunt, and venture over
to Lutia Pass. Be sure you brought some Potions (Can be bought at the Shop)
along with you.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Thesis Hunt \
|========================\
Difficulty: Medium
Enemies:
Archer
Soldier x2
Thief x2
White Mage
This battle is really a major step up from the previous "Monster Mash" that we
just had. Instead of the weakling Goblins, now we are up against a group of
pickpockets who have a few tricks up their sleeves.
The two units at the top of the arena are a White Mage and a lvl. 4 Thief.
Those two (obviously) cannot be attacked towards the first few rounds because
of their position but you should attempt to prioritize them the best you can.
The stronger, lvl. 4 Thief know the Reaction ability, Counter which should be
something new to you. To avoid that ability, use ranged attacks like
Montblanc's Black Magic or your Archer. The Soldiers use Mug often, but other
than that, they just attack with sword slashes. While their swords can do
quite some damage, don't waste time on them until the end of the battle.
Defeat the Archer quickly before it can use any of his annoying, Aim: Arm
or Aim: Legs crap. When everyone is taken down, the mission is yours and
Dalilei's thesis is back into safe keeping.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Afterwards, Montblanc will explain to you the clan wars. The "Clan" option
will also be placed in your main menu. Check it out if you want. From this
point on, you now have the ability to challenge other clans. They are
represented by the other red people on the overworld map. Challenge them by
walking into them. This is a great way to gain EXP so take advantage of it
and challenge as many as possible. Don't forget about the laws though!
Now head over to Cyril to trigger a small cutscene. The Pubmaster will greet
you as always and he'll tell you that there's a lot of clans who want to
fight, and basically, tells you to keep your distance. After that you can
head over to the Pub where a bunch of missions are available. Read the Rumors
first though. Do as many missions as you'd like and engage with a few clans to
get the feel of them. When you feel your clan members are at a solid level
(Levels 5-6 are good), choose The Cheetahs from the mission menu. Head over
to Nubswood.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : The Cheetahs \
|=========================\
Difficulty: Easy
Enemies:
Thief
White Monk
Fighter
Archer
Black Mage
Marche will step into the Nubswood area and who else does he find other than
his old friend, Ritz!... Along with a Viera who calls herself Shara. Also on
the playing field is the clan which calls themselves the "Cheetahs." And
after a bit of a reunion, the battle begins with you being allied with Ritz
and Shara. With them, this engagement is that much easier.
I wouldn't suggest a White Mage for this battle, while you can still bring one
in if you are unsure of your clan, there's a very little chance that any of
your units will actually get KOed as long as you know what you're doing. You
can only bring in three other clanners so the free space can be useful. You
should take out the White Mage first obviously. Then, go for the Archer which
can immobilize and disable your units. I know you might want to prioritize
the Thief and Fighter, but during this battle, they aren't really any threat.
Your second priority should be the White Monk, and the rest is your choice.
It's a very easy battle so take your time.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Shortly after the battle, the three will have a conversation. Ritz tells Marche
that she loves this world and never wants to go back. Marche concurs however
and then leaves the scene. Place Eluut Sands on the map and venture to the
Cyril Pub to trigger a cutscene.
Marche will tell Montblanc that he was sure that Ritz would want to go back so
that the both of them could find their way home. Apparently, he was totally
wrong.
The next mission is Desert Peril, but before you do that, engage a few clans
and do some of the missions. Also, check the shops for some interesting stuff
you might want to buy. Now, about your levels. Try to head off to Eluut Sands
with the mission Desert Peril, with all your members at lvl. 6-7. You'll need
it, believe me.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Desert Peril \
|=========================\
Difficulty: Slightly Hard
Enemies:
Cream
Red Panther x2
Antlion
Coeurl
Marche and Montblanc will walk into the area when the two are greeted by a
group of monsters. Well, nothing else to do but engage them.
This is a tough battle considering how early in the game it is. You probably
don't have any better jobs other than the regular Archer, Soldier, etc. The
toughest monsters here are the Panther class. Those are the two Red Panthers
and the Coeurl which is a stronger, blue version of the Red Panther. All three
have incredible attack power and their defense is really high. If your Archer
has learned Aim: Arm, target the Coeurl to disable it for a while. The Cream
is a strange creature which is barely affected by physical attack. However,
use Fire (As it is weak against fire elemental) from one of your Black Mages
to kill it in one shot or critically damage it. With the three Panthers out of
the way, this battle will go much quicker. Chip away at the monsters and
victory is yours!
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
After the battle, Marche will question Montblanc as to why the monsters here
are, or simply could go so crazy. Montblanc will respond with the best of his
ability. There are many theories and one of them is the theory of crystals.
Montblanc will explain to Marche that some think that there are crystals hiding
somewhere. Upon ending the conversation, place the Ulei River on the map.
After that, you can head to the Pub for a bunch of new missions. Try the
Dispatches, and level up your clan to 8-9. When all is done, the mission,
Twisted Flow, from the mission menu should be your next objective. Head over
to Ulei River and begin your engagement.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Twisted Flow \
|=========================\
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies:
Totema (Famfrit)
Floateye x2
Ahriman x2
Marche will slowly walk into the Ulei River area. After looking around a tiny
bit, he concludes that nothing seems to be wrong. However, a strange black
warp will appear in the center of the screen. Immediately, Marche is on his
guard, but his cautiousness isn't enough to avoid the warp itself which sends
Marche to a strange temple-like area...
At first, Marche will be confused. However, he looks ahead and notices
something... A crystal! But before he can do anything, a strange voice booms
through the air demanding Marche's name. Uttering a nervous whisper, Marche
returns the question. A strange creature warps out of the crystal and explains
to you that his name is Famfrit, the Totema of the first crystal. Though he
looks friendly, he isn't about to let some insecure human get to the crystal
which he was charged with defending. Calling upon two Floateyes and two
Ahrimans, he wishes to engage.
The objective here is to defeat the boss. In this case, it's the Moogle Totema,
Famfrit. If your units are leveled up well enough, this battle will go much
quicker. The best thing you can do would be to put Famfrit to sleep and deal
with the other monsters first even though your objective is to take out
Famfrit. While Famfrit is asleep, you will want Marche or your main attacker
to get up to him and give him a nice slash or smack to wake him and get a free
hit. Note that one of the Ahriman's knows the ability, Roulette. It gets in a
corner and randomly KOs a random unit, on your team or even on his own team.
Diligently cut away at Famfrit's health and you should defeat this Totema.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
The first Totema battle is now over with the defeat of Famfrit. Marche
immediately wants to know what the crystal is and what role it plays. The
crystal is the thread that binds the world. The world that Famfrit, the Moogle
Totema, was born to protect. With that, Famfrit gives clues to which race he
was born. The white ones, the skilled machinists. With that, Famfrit offers to
lend you his power...
Famfrit disappears and the first crystal will crack. Mewt will appear for a
moment and another booming voice will tell you that when the threads are
destroyed, this world will be dissolved and another will be born. The screen
fades to white...
Scene shift to Bervenia Palace. Judgemaster Cid walks in to a troubled Mewt.
Cid will ask Mewt what has happened. Mewt resolves on something horrible that
has happened a while ago. The kids at the schoolyard were throwing snowballs.
A terrible memory but Mewt passes it on quickly. Being the Prince Mewt
himself, he asks to strengthen the Laws to justify what has happened. With
that, Queen Remedi, Mewt's mother will walk in along with Babus, Mewt's
servant. Mewt's request was granted, the Laws are now stronger.
Scene shift to a later point on the Ulei River. The dark warp brings Marche
back, confused and dazed. Marche recaps and realizes that he must destroy every
crystal if he ever wants to go back home! Justifying his statement, Marche now
disembarks to destroy the next crystals. Now, you have the Moogle Totema,
Famfrit, which can be used by any Moogle with 10 JP. Along with that, place
Cadoan on the map.
Begin by heading off to Cadoan to trigger a cutscene. Some townsfolk will be
complaining about the Laws and throwing some knocks at the Queen. A strange Nu
Mou will walk in on you and give you a few words about the Laws. The townsfolk
will then discuss the new gossip. A person by the name of Ezel Berbier has
seemingly found some way around the Laws of Ivalice with "Antilaws." With that,
the Nu Mou gives you a few words on Ezel Berbier and takes his leave...
Walk to Cyril or Sprohm and buy some items like Potions and such. Re-equip if
you'd like and do any missions. When you are finished, head to Cadoan again to
trigger an engagement!
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Antilaws \
|=====================\
Difficulty: Medium
Enemies:
Gladiator
Illusionist
Hunter
Ninja
Fighter
Defender
It seems that shady Nu Mou fellow we met before in Cadoan is now in trouble.
Marche isn't too smart here. Oh yes, let's help some random Nu Mou stranger
that we only met through chance. Anyhow, Marche, being the ethical fellow he
is, decides to help the troubled Nu Mou, whether he's a murderer or simply a
innocent bystander. Let's find out.
The battle consists of your clan versus six other enemies. Ezel the Hermetic
(Yes, you learn that the Nu Mou fellow is the great Ezel Berbier) will help
you out but he won't actually attack. His ability, Azoth, can put all the
enemies to sleep. However, since you can't control him, it's hard to tell if
Ezel will use it or not. Anyhow, the Illusionist is probably a new unit you
haven't yet seen before. Illusionists use Phantasm to throw a spell and damage
the entire field without having to manually hit something.
This battle is tough, yes, but if you know who to prioritize, you should be
fine. If your clan has low Magic Resistance, the Illusionist should be your
main target. If your clan has low Defense, the Fighter and Defender should be
taken out immediately. The Hunter and Ninja on the upper rear end of the
playing field should be attacked last. Constantly attack and you should be
fine. Be sure that Ezel stays alive however!
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Once the enemy forces are defeated, the situation seems to be over with after
a quick thanks from Ezel... if only Judgemaster Cid hadn't been summoned
because of the ruckus we created over here. A short conversation between Ezel
and Cid will occur. Cid asks that Ezel come into his custody, but Ezel declines
"respectfully." Cid will attempt an Advanced Law to Petrify Ezel, but that
Berbier fellow has a few tricks up his sleeves. Pulling out an Antilaw, he
teleports out... with you following. Cid, being defeated, walks away like
nothing happened.
In the Cadoan Pub, Marche queries Ezel on what the heck just happened. As
obvious, Ezel's Antilaw stopped Cid's Advanced Law. Marche considers that to
be an amazing feat. Berbier states that the Judges and their Laws have crossed
the lines... as well as being fun to annoy! As the conversation draws to a
close, Ezel tells Marche of his secret Law Card shop. With that, the convo
ends.
Now with Mission #6 finished, you have access to the Law Cards and Antilaws.
Since you are already at Cadoan, check out Ezel's shop. By now, you should only
have the R2 Antilaw which you received as an award for that mission, but as
you advance through the game, you will gain more and more. Use them to nullify
Laws, or add new ones. If you are ever missing a card you really want, check
out Ezel's shop for some trading.
There are a bunch of new Missions hanging out at the Sprohm, Cyril, and Cadoan
Pubs. Check them out as you always do, and read any new rumors that appear.
Once you feel you are ready for the next story Mission, choose Diamond Rain,
ahead head over to Aisenfield for another engagement!
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Diamond Rain \
|=========================\
Difficulty: Slightly Hard
Enemies:
Bomb
Lamia
Ice Flan
Icedrake
Take a look at the enemies list for this mission. Yep, all of them are
monsters, and all of them have incredibly valuable abilities for a Blue Mage,
or your Morpher. Therefore, you might want to bring in a Beastmaster (Along
with a Blue Mage) or a Hunter. However, be aware that this monster battle is
no pushover, so make sure you also bring in your best units too.
The enemies are all generic, except for the Ice Flan. As you might already
know, the Flan group of monsters only are affected by magical spells. The most
effective one would be the Fire elemental, which one of your Black Mage's
should already have. The two Icedrakes differ in abilities. One has the
Dragoon tech, Ice Breath, and the other holds Mighty Guard. Both Icedrakes
have high attack power, so beware.
To start off, you should attack the Lamia, and the Ice Flan with a nice ranged
Fire elemental attack. Following up, take out the first Icedrake. The Bomb can
be left for last, as it doesn't hold any redeeming qualities. Once you get the
Ice Flan and the Icedrakes out of the way, the battle will become another
generic monster fight. Easy enough.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
With the monsters defeated, Marche begins to walk around and check out the
strange diamond rain. Shortly after the battle, Marche notes that a diamond
has fell from the sky, but as soon as he reaches it, it disappears. Strangely
enough, maybe the rain does have something to deal with the crystals. But hey,
who knows what's going to happen next?
Roda Volcano is the next area you are to place on the map. The local Pubs
don't have any new rumors, but a new load of missions appear. Most of them are
just dispatches, but be sure you capture a few of the areas. You should already
know that the more areas you own, the more benefits you get in the Shops and
such. Level your clan up to 10-11, and choose the Hot Awakening mission. With
that, head over the Roda Volcano and begin your next mission.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Hot Awakening \
|==========================\
Difficulty: Medium
Enemies:
Ultima Crystal x8
Marche steps into the Roda Volcano area and starts nagging about the heat.
Suddenly, a violent earthquake occurs, and a strange black warp appears in the
middle. The first thing Marche notices is that there must be a crystal here!
The warp blows off, and swallows you into the abyss...
As the screen fades back in, you should note the difference in the colors.
Instead of the gray, dark area that held the last crystal, this one is
colorful, and lively. Butterflies even litter the area. Marche notes as well
the butterflies, and how different this area is from the last. Luckily, there
doesn't seem to be any Totema guarding this crystal, so Marche walks up to
the crystal... But suddenly, a number of Ultima Crystals fade in. Looks like
it isn't going to be as easy as we expected.
These strange Ultima Crystals are actually the Totema itself. They are very
different from the previous Totema, Famfrit, because they are incapable of
moving. In fact, they are pretty much inanimate objects made to guard this
second crystal. Wait a second, if they can't move, you can use that to your
advantage! These Ultima Crystal's only other attack is Logos, an annoying move
which not only Charms you, but lowers your Attack and Defense.
There is a very easy way to knock these things out. If you use this strategy,
the battle becomes that much easier. The idea is to get up right next to the
Ultima Crystals, while out of the range of the others. The Ultima Crystal you
are standing next to won't use Logos unless you are at least one tile away.
Therefore, it will be forced to use its Fight move, which does weak damage. If
at every turn, you use this strategy, you should be able to get out of this
battle with all your units intact. Be sure you only send one unit to each
Ultima Crystal as if you have two against one, it will use Logos.
Be sure that when you try to take out one Ultima Crystal, you aren't in the
range of another. The first one you destroy will be the hardest as there aren't
too many areas safe from the Logos of the other ones. Just don't group your
units together and you should be fine. The Ultima Crystals are annoying, but
they do have that one weakness. Take advantage of it, and you should win this
battle with incredible ease.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
When the mission is complete, and the second Totema and crystal destroyed,
Marche wonders which race this Totema represents. With a quick guess of Nu Mou,
the crystal shatters, and something happens. Yes, Mewt appears again, and
demands to know who is trying to wreck his world. With that, the warp brings
Marche back out to the Roda Volcano...
Once back, Marche recaps on what the heck just happened. Realizing that he
is destroying Mewt's dream by destroying the crystals, he is saddened, not
only about his actions, but about his crimes against one of his best friends,
Mewt.
You will now receive the Totema command for the Nu Mou, which is a Target All
MP hurting attack. Place Koringwood on the map wherever you'd like, and check
out the Pub for whatever you'd like. Complete a few more missions, and when
all is done, buy the Magic Wood information, and haul yourself over to the
Koringwood.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Magic Wood \
|=======================\
Difficulty: Slightly Hard
Enemies:
Archer
Sniper
Time Mage
Black Mage
Thief x2
Summoner
Deep in the Koringwood, a group of illegal lumberjacks are cutting down some
magic wood to sell for a lot of Gil elsewhere. Luckily, Marche walks in within
the nick of time to quickly stop them. Time to engage.
This time, you are engaging against seven other members, with each being
pretty strong in his or her own sense. You are allowed five members including
Marche, so the odds are against you this time. However, if you eliminate the
biggest threats firsthand, the battle will become much easier. Nevertheless,
it is never a bad idea to invest a spot for a White Mage.
The first enemies to move will probably be the two Thieves. They aren't the
most dangerous, so if you don't have to attack them, just ignore them for the
time being. If you are really paranoid about them stealing something, you can
always Blind them. The Sniper is fairly dangerous, but doesn't hold too many
abilities. Now, the Archer however, should be defeated as soon as possible to
avoid her annoying abilities.
The remaining units are all magic casters, so they can easily be disabled if
you can possibly cast some sort of Silence on them. Since Templar's are good
at this kind of stuff, try to have one with you. Once the Time Mage, Summoner,
and Black Mage are Silenced, they are completely helpless. I'd suggest keeping
these three Silenced, while you focus on the others. Leave the magic casters
for last.
The main problem here is numbers. However, even though the opponent outnumbers
you about 5 to 7, you can improvise. Instead of going gun-ho at every enemy
unit, use status ailmenting attacks to maybe keep them at bay for a few turns.
Use an Archer or Gunner to Blind your enemies, and the battle is automatically
yours. If you can use abilities to your advantage, this battle flows much
quicker.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
After defeating these weakling tree-robbers, the local ranger thanks you, and
leaves. Marche begins to ponder to himself; a magic forest. Maybe it has
something to deal with the next crystal. Whatever the case, the battle is over.
Once back at the world map, place the Salikawood symbol on the map.
With the Magic Wood mission complete, you can find a lot of other new ones at
the Pub. I'd suggest leveling your clan up to around 11-13 as this next
mission is going to be tough. With that, choose the mission; Emerald Keep at
the Pub, head to Salikawood for another engagement.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Emerald Keep \
|=========================\
Difficulty: Slightly Hard
Enemies:
Bishop
Gunner
Alchemist
Templar x2
Runeseeker (Babus
Trotting slowly into the Salika Keep area, Marche begins his search for this
"giant emerald crystal." As he rounds the steps, he begins to wonder if this
is one of those "crystals." An unknown voice will call to you ahead. The
screen shifts and you will realize that Babus is here as well on Mewt's
personal orders. Babus will ask of Marche, someone who means the Prince ill.
Marche however, knows who that person is. In an attempt to get his way out of
any accusations, Marche immediately tells him not. But his conscience blabbers
out his words, speaking that he didn't know this was Mewt's world. With that,
Babus realizes all too well. His group prepares for attack, and you should do
the same.
With the addition to Marche, the game allows you to bring in five more units
for battle. The next rounds of battle will be quite difficult, so make sure
that the units you send in are powerful enough to take out Babus along with
the rest of his group. (If it is required.) Start the battle, and begin.
Babus the Runeseeker can provide a bunch of problems. His job is unique as you
might already have noticed. His abilities are made up of the R-Ability, Counter
and some other abilities. Explode is a heavy damage spell similar to the
Sage's Giga Flare; Stillness inflicts Stop status; and Quarter is the same as
the Time Mage's ability which takes out 1/4 of a particular unit's health.
Along with Babus, which will probably cause you the majority of your problems
here, you have two Templars, a Gunner, a Bishop, and an Alchemist. Next to
Babus in amount of difficulty would be both of the "Temple Knights." One is
armed with Rasp, a MP damaging attack, Cheer which raises Attack statistics,
Haste which is self-explanatory, and the R-Ability, Bonecrusher. The other
holds Astra which automatically nullifies status ailments, Warcry which lowers
Speed, Cheer again; which raises Attack, and the S-Ability, Weapon Atk+.
The Bishop is a rather flexible unit capable of dealing damage, curing his own
allies, and casting Dispel to get rid of all status enhancements. How much you
prioritize him is going to be your call, but remember that as soon as soon as
the Bishop is out, your enemy will not be capable of healing without the help
of items. The other magic caster, an Alchemist, is much more offensive. You
will want to especially watch out for Flare or Frog.
Lastly, you will find a Moogle Gunner towards the rear. For the most part, his
abilities are simple, but Stopshot can become annoying, especially with
Concentrate as a S-Ability. You might find that taking out the Gunner will
help an amazing amount. Avoid Stopshot or just Blind him to nullify
Concentrate for hopefully, the future majority of the battle.
The objective here is to defeat Babus and none other. Therefore, unless of
course you are looking to some experience, I'd suggest you put all your
emphasis on him. Then again, if you are sure you can't win this battle without
first taking out the other units, by all means, treat this battle as a clan
war.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Once Babus is down and out, he will threaten you about hurting the prince. Now
that he knows what you look like, there will be no escape. Running from battle,
Babus teleports out leaving Marche to pity himself. Cold. Just cold.
Once Emerald Keep is finished, place the Nargai Cave symbol on the map. Some
new missions are just waiting for you to complete so check out the Pub, maybe
capturing a few new areas. Whatever the case, once you are satisfied, choose
Pale Company out of the listings and head over to Nargai Cave.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Pale Company \
|=========================\
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies:
Icedrake
Firewyrm
Thundrake
Totema (Adrammelech)
For this next story mission, Marche enters the Nargai Cave in search of this
supposed "ghost." A small orb appears in front of Marche, and his reaction is
a bit puzzling. "Funny, here I am looking at a ghost. But I don't feel scared
at all." As strange as enigmas can become, the ghost begins to move, and
Marche follows. With his guard off, Marche is caught by the warp...
As the screen fades back in, you find yourself in yet another temple holding
probably, another crystal. The ghost has disappeared, but suddenly reappears.
The crystal is up ahead, and the Totema makes his way out. Absorbing the ghost,
the Totema begins to speak of no one but his masters may approach. Confident,
Marche prepares himself for a battle. Adrammalech prepares himself too, and
brings in his Dragon fiends.
This battle is a major step up from the two other "pushover" Totemas you have
fought in the past. If you had thought they were hard, prepare to be
obliverated. Bring in five more units (A White Mage or similar would be smart),
and begin the battle. Because the enemy Dragons don't have terribly high
Speed, you should be able to move first.
Luckily, the Dragons here aren't anything you haven't seen already. The only
one which might remotely be a new appearance might be the Thundrake. All three
of them have elemental Breath attacks for their respectable type (ie. Firewyrm
holds Fire Breath; Icedrake holds Ice Breath; Thundrake holds Bolt Breath).
This is basically the only A-Abilities those Dragons hold with exception to
the Icewyrm who can also cast Mighty Guard on his allies. Geomancy ups Magic
Power, and Weapon Atk+ ups Weapon Attack obviously.
While the Dragons aren't too tough apart from their Attack power, the Totema
himself holds some pretty powerful abilities. Not only is he the coolest
looking Totema, hands down, but his Firestream attack can become devastating.
Remember Famfrit's Breath of God? Multiply the damage by two, and give it some
Fire elemental bonus damage to create an A-Ability to be reckoned with.
Lightspeed is a quick attack nullifying R-Ability, and Howl of Rage lowers
surrounding unit's Speed. Finally, Soul Sphere hurts your MP so keep your
mages safe.
The best thing to do would definitely be to inflict a few binding status
ailments on the initial Dragons. Disable, Immobilize, and Blind all work
wonders to keep them off your back. You shouldn't need to be bothered by the
Dragons, as all of your forces should be plopped atop Adrammelech. There
really isn't too much to explain here, as all you need is a powerful physical
strike to take out this Bangaa Totema as quickly as possible.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
As the battle draws to a close, Adrammelech appears before you and is vaporized
into three of those "ghosts" you saw previously. Marche walks up and realizes
that crystals must be made up of some incredible energy that had created
everything... The crystal breaks, and Marche is warped out back to Nargai
Cave.
As he makes his way back out, a certain Nu Mou by the name of Babus appears
to annoy you again. Quickly suspicious of something, Babus questions you. A
thundering voice will echo through the air... Another warp will appear to
shimmer, and Mewt appears. The first thing he happens to do is note Babus, but
as of now, Mewt is lost. With that, Babus realizes that you are right. He
asks what waits of you back home that requires having to pain the prince like
that. Marche doesn't have an answer, and Babus leaves...
Once back on the world map, the new Totema command for the Bangaa race will
appear. Place the new Baguba Port symbol wherever, and head over there. A
cutscene will be triggered with Marche following Montblanc into the local
Pub. Montblanc notices a certain Moogle, and learn that this other Moogle is
his brother, Nono. Your companion is instantly happy to see him, but Nono is
depressed. Some bandits have stolen his airship.
Luckily, Nono knows exactly who these bandits were. However, getting there and
coming out alive is a whole different story. Montblanc will now explain to
you the Jagds. In those areas, there are no Laws to abide by as the Judges
simply stay away from those areas. While this may sound all dandy to you, there
is a problem. Without Judges, once your units are KOed, they stay that way.
Place Jagd Dorsa on the map shortly afterwards, and complete a few more
missions if you'd like. Once everything is completed, start your first story
mission taking place in the Jagds by simply walking into it...
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Jagd Hunt \
|======================\
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies:
Ninja
Hunter
Antlion
Assassin
Toughskin
Blue Mage
Well, here we are; Jagd Dorsa. You should know already that if anyone gets
KOed here and you leave them on the ground, they are dead. With that in mind,
prepare yourself for a rather difficult fight against Nono's enemy bandits.
Because of the Jagd threat here, you might want to bring in a White Mage to
revive in case your units happen to fall. Pheonix Downs work well too. Make
sure that the units you send in have high Defense. Paladins or Defenders are
perfect fitting for this description. You will not want to be killed here,
especially against this hardcore group...
Your enemies consist of mostly clan units, but a few monsters as well. Right
in front of you at the start are a Ninja who holds Metal Veil, Water Veil,
and Double Sword which is allows him to hold two swords in two hands for a
double hit; a Blue Mage with Dragon technique, Mighty Guard, Lamia technique,
Night, Coeurl technique, Hastebreak, and the Sprite's healing technique of
White Wind. Along with that, the Hunter boasts a solid Attack statistics and
holds Sonic Boom, Advice, and Aim: Vitals which inflicts a random status
ailment on you.
An Assassin appears to your left. She can become especially deadly with her
specialty A-Abilities. Shadowbind Stops a target in its tracks by pinning
shadow to the ground, Last Breath is an automatic KO (Not good for a Jagd. Oh
boy.), Aphonia is the standard Silence, and Oblivion Addles the target dis-
allowing them to use any A-Abilities. Don't try any arrows at this mean chick
unless you want them returned at you.
The Antlion and Toughskin aren't too much of threats, but should still be
fought with caution. LV3 Def-less lowers Weapon Defense and Magic Resistance
to all units with levels divisible by three. Sandstorm is the standard
whirlwind attack which Blinds targets. The Toughskin doesn't have any new
techniques. Still holding the original Resonate and Matra Magic, you shouldn't
have any trouble with it.
You should try to kill off the Assassin and Ninja right off the bat. The
Assassin has terribly effective A-Abilities, and the Ninja can unleash his
hurt with Double Sword. Watch out for Last Breath especially, as it
automatically KOs, and if that unit isn't revived, it's basically lights out
for that member. The Hunter should be prioritized if you want to avoid random
status ailments, and the Blue Mage should also be taken out quickly. This
battle is tough, so don't fret if you mess up a few times. After all, this is
your first Jagd battle.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Once the battle is finished, Marche suggests heading back to Nono at Baguba
Port. Back on the world map, place the next symbol, Kudik Peaks on the map.
Walk over the Baguba Port, and a cutscene will commence. Nono will become
ecstatic that you had saved his airship.
Marche will offer his reward to help Nono fix his airship, but Nono declines
immediately. Convinced, he decides to take it and realizes that he will need
a lot of money. Following, he considers turning it into a merchant ship! A
pretty good idea for the most part. Back on the world map, you can head to the
local Shops to check out Nono's Trade Items tab. Take the items already there.
From this point on, by connecting with other GBAs, you can get even more rare
items in these slots.
Now take a few more missions and whatnot, and choose The Bounty in the end.
Engage.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : The Bounty \
|=======================\
Difficulty: Medium
Enemies:
Sage
Paladin
Fighter
Red Mage
Time Mage
Black Mage
You should know the drill by now. Find the unknown wanderer on the world map.
As soon as you enter the battlefield, you will appear before Clan Ox. There's
no hostility at first, but one of the grunts notes that this Marche fellow
looks incredibly alike to that bounty. But guess what! It's you they are
looking for!
Of all the possibilities, you just had to accept this mission to actually help
Clan Ox find you. Heh, since we aren't about to let ourselves be turned in,
we'll fight our way out. Hopefully, you had brought in a healing unit as this
clan isn't your ordinary pushover. Ranged attackers work well too.
Your enemies consist of a Sage, a Paladin, a Fighter, a Red Mage, a Time Mage,
and a Black Mage... phew. From past experience, you might expect the Paladin
to be the main figure of difficulty here. Although his Attack power is fairly
high, he lacks in abilities with only Saint Cross and Drop Weapon. He is also
capable of healing, but barely ever uses that ability.
In terms of physical damage, the Fighter might pose a threat. A few standard
Fighter abilities as well as a high Weapon Attack, you can't go wrong tackling
him out first. Im terms of actual damage, the Black Mage easily cuts that
mark. His Magic Power lies in the 200s, and his abilities consist of some
standard techniques. Much of the time, one of them will be an "-aga" ability.
If you are unfamiliar with that suffix, just know it is the most powerful of
the elemental spells a Black Mage can throw at you.
Sages normally pose problems, but not this one. Just be thankful this one
doesn't hold Giga Flare. Reflex negates all Fight moves as you might already
know, so be sure you actually have some other abilities which can damage the
Sage. The Red Mage is laughable considering the fact that she doesn't hold
Doublecast, and her Magic Power is second-rate. Finally, the Time Mage can
pose some threats. You do not want him to cast Quicken on the Fighter right
after he damaged your units already. Quick KOs for the enemy.
You will want to Disable the Fighter and Paladin quickly. Following, you can
choose to Silence everyone else. It would be smart to bring in a utility unit
to do all those status ailments, followed by your physical and magical
attackers, followed by a healing unit. If you can set up an attack, you should
be fine. However, if you just rush in without any strategy, you probably won't
last that long. This isn't a difficult battle considering it is a story
battle, so you should be fine.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Well, at least now we know that the Palace has finally put a bounty on your
head. Place Jeraw Sands on the map, and check out the missions at the Pub.
There is nothing interesting between this transition, so don't look for too
much. When ready, choose Golden Clock, and head over to Jeraw Sands for another
battle.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Golden Clock \
|=========================\
Difficulty: Medium
Enemies:
Juggler
Alchemist
Time Mage
Gadgeteer
Marche enters the area as he always does and notices Shara coming out from a
corner. Ritz also appears right behind you, and the two of you greet. Marche
asks Ritz if she know of the bounty on Marche's head; Ritz responds and tells
Marche she would never turn him in. They are here instead, for some other
business...
Ritz runs up and calls the Golden Clock forgers out. Yep, you guessed it, it's
another battle alongside Ritz. Judging from past experience, this battle
should be fairly easy considering that you have Ritz and Shara on your side,
and not to mention that you are up against only four competitors. Bring in
three extra units and start the battle.
Your enemies consist of an Alchemist, a Juggler, a Time Mage, and a Gadgeteer.
The Alchemist holds Meteor which rains a large rock on your units for heavy
damage, Poison which... well... Poisons of course, and Toad which turns the
target into a Frog. Whee...! Alongside, you see a Juggler with Hurl which
throws an item, Firebomb which damages and Berserks, and Ball which Confuses.
The Time Mage can become dangerous if you aren't careful. Demi is extremely
effective against those with high HP, and Quicken gives a free turn to the
unit of choice. Also, Slow and Stop are two annoying status ailments you will
want to avoid at all costs unless you like to lose turns.
Finally, the Gadgeteer is as unpredictable as it is effective. Red Spring
casts Haste on a random side at the flip of a coin (Just hope that's you),
Blue Screw casts Dispel on a random side at another flip of a coin (Just hope
that isn't you), and Green Gear Poisons either side (Again, just hope that
isn't you). Also, Damage > MP will make striking this Gadgeteer down a trifle
difficult.
Without Ritz or Shara, this battle might have caused some problems. But
because both of your allies are at such high levels with effective abilities,
you should barely even break a sweat. However, just remember that Ritz and
Shara can be KOed, and that's when you better do something, or face defeat.
You can be a bit laid back here, but don't let your guard down.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Afterwards, Marche and Ritz will have a short talk. Marche begins by hoping
that Ritz and Shara won't get in trouble for helping Marche here. Shara then
states that if they came looking for them, they would simply have to turn
young Marche in. Bowing his head, Marche guesses that he should be leaving.
Depressed, Marche walks away, and Ritz tells him that she might have to join
sides with Marche. Now, even more depressed, Marche wanders off.
As Marche leaves, Shara tells Ritz that Marche might be worried about her and
asks why she won't help him. Ritz responds coldly asking why. Shara, a bit
surprised at the sudden change of heart, states that if what he says is true,
his family is in the other world. Why wouldn't Ritz want to go back to see her
friends and family? Ritz's answer is strangely enough, her hair; it's no longer
white. With that, we learn about a whole new side of Ritz.
Scene shift to Mewt's room. Mewt is angered at how the palace had not found
Marche yet. He asks to know why they hadn't. Nearly throwing a tamtrum, Mewt
demands that they find him soon. Judgemaster Cid states that he's doing all he
can. Following, a search of every town will commence. Mewt asks his father to
hurry, or the world will break... and suddenly screams for his mother. He
grabs Babus with a fiery anger and shakes him about, continuously screaming
for Remedi...
Place Muscadet on the map, and walk over there to trigger a cutscene which
involves Ezel. Marche is surprised to see him here, but Ezel has bad news.
Judgemaster Cid is now searching thoroughly through every clan looking for
this one boy, Marche. It seems that the palace is now more interested in
getting Marche rather than Ezel anymore. The situation is continually growing
grim every minute. Complete any random side missions, and get your levels up
to around 17-18. When that's done, head back to Muscadet, and trigger a
mission involving that bounty on your head. Prepare yourself for a long
battle.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Scouring Time \
|==========================\
Difficulty: Slightly Hard
Enemies:
Sage
Gunner
Paladin
Templar x2
Mog Knight x2
As you enter Muscadet, an engagement is about to occur. Marche and Montblanc
appear in the area and witness some Judges and officers of the law bringing
in random units for questioning. A particular arguement between a Moogle and a
Judge will appear on-screen. The Moogle will ask why he is to be brought in,
and Judge responds with that the human they are looking for has been seen
with a Moogle. Unable to take this injustice, Marche runs in...
The first thing he does is exclaim that he is the one Prince Mewt is looking
for. While the Judge is a bit disbelieving, he still brings in units to
capture this supposed boy. Units begin to move in, and you will note that you
are a bit outnumbered. Bring in three extra units with addition to Marche and
Montblanc and begin the battle with the odds of 5 vs. 7 stacked against you.
Your enemies consist of some powerful units, but the most dangerous of them
all would be the Paladin or the two Templars. If you care to steal anything,
you will definitely want the Dragon Mail or Genji Armor. The first enemy unit
to move will probably be the enemy Paladin or either Mog Knight, but if you
brought in swift units, you should be able to move first for the most part.
The two Templars are dangerous with both of them holding the R-Ability,
Bonecrusher. In addition, both Templars can terrorize you with Astra, Warcry,
Rasp, Haste, and Lifebreak which can deal incredible damage when you knock off
a lot of that Templar's HP. The second most dangerous, the Paladin lacks in
numbers of abilities, but don't let that get your guard off. Holy Blade does
incredible damage, and Drop Weapon can become annoying.
Also included are two Mog Knights, a Gunner, and a Sage. The Mog Knights are
pretty much standard issue and shouldn't provide much problems with only Mog
Attack, Mog Guard, Mog Rush, Mog Lance, Mog Shield, and Mog Aid. By now, you
should already have many ways to counter-act these kind of abilities. The Sage
is almost laughable with only Drain, Aero, and Bio. Finally, the Gunner isn't
dangerous as it hasn't learned Concentrate.
At the beginning, begin Disabling and/or Immobilizing the Templar and Bishop
immediately. Using status ailments can easily turn the tide of battle with
you. Following, you will want to Blind the Gunner. Deal with the opponents as
you see fit, but you should try to set up an attack which you know won't fail
before you attempt something rash.
But the battle isn't over just yet...
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies:
Avatar x8 (Exodus Fruit)
Runeseeker (Babus)
Afterwards, Judgemaster Cid appears on the scene, and begins to question you.
Pretty sure that the boy is the boy, Cid brings him to the prison. There,
Babus will run in and confirm that the boy is indeed Marche. Now that they
know, Marche demands that Judgemaster Cid let the others go. Cid will ask
Marche if he is the one destroying the crystals. Marche confirms, and a seam
appears mysteriously. Somehow...
The fourth crystal is weak... But you have no access to your clan as of now.
Babus and Cid are also in the area, and they aren't about to let you destroy
these crystals in which they had so willingly defended. You guessed it, it's
another fight with Runeseeker Babus, and this time, he's even more tough. The
only opposition you will receive here is from Babus. The Totema is weak, and
it can't attack. Since Cid is a Judgemaster (obviously), he will play as Judge
to make sure the Laws are enforced. Babus is no laughing matter however. This
battle is a one vs. one... Babus vs. Marche.
Babus's abilities consist of Explode, a deadly Fire elemental move, Stillness,
which Stops Marche right in his tracks, and Demi which cuts off half of your
HP right off the bat. In addition, Counter and Weapon Def+ makes him even more
of an adversary. The key here is to avoid his first move, and follow-up with a
heavy damage move which you should have at this point for a physical character
as Marche. Holy Blade or Beatdown would work. However, if you don't have
access to them, you might have to pick away at Babus's health continuously and
use X-Potions constantly. Defeat Babus and the Fruits to win.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Once all Fruits are destroyed, the crystal flashes, and disappears.
Dumbfounded, both Cid and Babus watch as another flash from the past appears.
Mewt appears next to his dad, Cid. It's a re-enactment from the opening
cutscene between Mewt and his dad. Realizing what a loser he once was, Cid
begins to remember, and the gap that was his past life is filled. Saddened,
the Judgemaster decides to leave the palace. Babus will plead the reason why,
and Cid allows Marche to leave.
Now back on the world map, try to leave Sprohm, and a cutscene will commence.
Some locals are gossiping the fact that Cid had finally left the palace. Remedi
and Mewt must be in a furious frenzy. Marche stands nearby, and eavesdrops on
the conversation. What impact could this sudden change and ceceding will this
have on the palace?
Scene shift to Mewt's room. Judgemaster Cid is doing his best to stay on
Mewt's good side. Obviously, he isn't too happy about his father leaving him
in the dark like this. Remedi walks in with a new face. She introduces him
as Llednar Twem, and states that he will be Cid's new replacement. With an
ominous feeling, the screen shifts back to the world map, and you have the
ability to place Uladon Bog anywhere you'd like.
Being the fact that you just completed one of the more important missions of
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, a handful of new mission are available at the
Pub. Check them out and level all units to about 18. Following, select The
Big Find, and head over to Uladon Bog for another battle.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : The Big Find \
|=========================\
Difficulty: Slightly Hard
Enemies:
Thief x2
Bishop x2
Fighter x2
You all know how I start these story battle things right? "As Marche enters
the area, he will note... blah blah blah blah." Well, for this battle, Marche
won't enter the area at first. Therefore, you won't hear me say that. Instead,
the camera brings you to the battlefield and a small conversation between our
would be competitors. The Fighters hints something about a kid and late.
Perhaps an ambush? A scout Thief walks in and states that their "pot of gold"
is here now.
Guess who walks in? Why, if it wouldn't be yours truly, Marche. Seeing as
he's just been ambushed by a group of six enemies, Marche doesn't appear too
surprised. Just a simple, "Huh?" Anyhow, prepare for another battle. Bring in
five extra well-rounded units and prepare yourself for battle once again. You
know the drill by now, don't you?
Look at your enemies and you will notice that their line-up is pretty simple
with two Fighters, two Thieves, and two Bishops. Provide that you actually
care to know what abilities to avoid, I'll tell you that you really want to
watch out for Strikeback. Don't make stupid moves when you are already sure
that it will miss, and you will probably get a nice thwack in the head for
your imbecile move. The same goes for Bonecrusher, but there are a few ways
around it.
The opponent's Fighter abilities consist of Rush, Air Render, Far Fist, Wild
Swing, Beatdown, and Blitz. If you were wondering if both Fighters hold all
those abilities, the answer is luckily, no. They are split up between them.
Therefore, if you take out Fighter #1 who has Wild Swing, Far Fist, and
Beatdown, you won't have to worry about those moves for the rest of the
mission unless Fighter #1 happens to revive magically.
The Thieves can provide some problems. Both of them hold Steal: Weapon, which
obviously, steals your weapon. You might want to watch out especially. Even
worse, Steal: Ability literally "steals" one of your abilities. Therefore, you
might find it smart to Disable or Immobilize the Thieves from afar. Apart from
that, you won't see too much damage nor annoyance from them. Just don't let
your rare weapons get stolen.
The remaining opposition consists of two Bishops. Lucky for you, they aren't
the most powerful magic casters you might find. Water and Aero do mediocre
damage, and Holy might be the largest damage dealer even though it doesn't do
THAT high of damage either way. Also, Bishops are capable of using Cura in
this mission and Judge steals your JP.
Concern yourself with the Thieves at first. Once the chances of getting
weapons stolen is at 0% (In short, just KO both Thieves), you can focus on
the Fighters which are probably attacking your units like mad at that point.
The Bishops won't provide too much problem, so you might want to leave them
for last unless you have a masterful plan of your own. Defeat all enemies and
win the mission.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Afterwards, Marche and Montblanc will mope around. Marche wonders how they
know he was going to possibly be there. There must be some sort of inner ear
which is watching his every move. Suddenly, Marche notes something out of the
back of his eye. Was someone just spying on him right there? Only time will
tell...
Place Gotor Sands on the map and complete a few more side missions. Level up
your party to around 18-19. More missions can be found at the Pub. Be sure
that you complete the mission, Exploration, to get Jagd Ahli on the world map.
When ready, select Desert Patrol and begin your next mission in the Gotor
Sands area.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Desert Patrol \
|==========================\
Difficulty: Medium
Enemies:
Bishop
Dragoon
Defender
Gladiator
White Monk
Soldier x2
As you enter Gotor Sands for the Desert Patrol mission, Marche notices a
certain person... that looks a bit familiar. Walking a bit closer, he
realizes that it's Doned. Marche is instantly happy to see his brother, but
Doned remains silent, and runs away. Marche follows and to his surprise,
sees Doned talking with another group. But even as dumbfounded as he might
be, Marche realized that his brother had just turned him in for a bounty.
Just what is going on?
The palace still wants your head, and as obvious, this enemy clan has come to
challenge you. They were notified of your whereabouts by a certain someone.
There's nothing else to do but to fight our way out of this trap. Bring in
six units to go against this enemy group and start the battle. Your foe this
time is made up of Bangaa and Humans. You will probably notice, that with
exception to the Bishop, your enemies are all physical. Try to bring in some
magic-casting units that have moderate Weapon Defense like Morphers or
Sages to counteract their Weapon Attacks, and work upon their weaker Magic
Resistance.
The White Monk in the front has a bunch of techniques up his alley. Whirlwind
damages surrounding units, Air Render is a ranged attack, Earth Render deals
damage to ALL units in front of him, and Far Fist deals ranged splash-damage.
Luckily, his Weapon Attack is fairly low so don't expect too much from a
simple Fight move. Behind him is a Gladiator holding the elemental
"Spellblade" techniques which include Fire Sword, Bolt Sword, and Ice Sword.
They should be pretty self-explanatory.
Two Soldiers make up the Humans of this enemy group. The one closer to you at
the start holds a few standard "Break" attacks including Powerbreak,
Mindbreak, and Magicbreak. Provoke Berserks your units so be careful. The
other Soldier is less of a threat. Luckily, he only can use Powerbreak,
Mindbreak, and Speedbreak. Mug deals damage but steals Gil at the same time.
However, that shouldn't be too much of a problem to you.
Right smackdab in the center is the Defender. Although his Weapon Attack and
Defense can be intimidating, his abilities are nothing to be afraid of. Tremor
pushes back all surrounding units, Drop Weapon drops your units' weapons, and
Mow Down damages all surrounding units, but causes the Defender to lose all
his Evade for the entire next turn. The Dragoon has even higher Weapon Attack
and his abilities can become particularly exasperating. Lancet drains HP, Fire
and Bolt Breath are obvious.
The magic-casting unit of this battle is the Bishop in the front. Luckily, he
doesn't pose much of a threat compared to the other units. Water is really
the only damaging spell he holds. Dispel clears all status enhancements and
Break inflicts Petrify on your units. Keep in careful mind that once the
Bishop is defeated, your opponent will have no means of healing apart from
having to use items.
I always prefer to take out the magic-caster, seeing as once he's down and
out, the battle will move much quicker. Therefore, your opponent must rely on
physical strength to overcome you. Since for the most part, Weapon Defense is
higher than Magic Resistance for this enemy group, magic spells work wonders.
Watch out for the Bishop's Return Magic however. As you progress through the
battle, it will become easier and easier until you win.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
I bet none of you would have ever expected Marche's own brother to turn on
him like that. Nevertheless, Marche fails to really gain any legitimate
information out of the Bangaa afterwards. At the world map, place Delia Dunes
on a tile. Complete the side missions which present themself if you'd like,
and select the next story mission, Quiet Sands. Be sure to complete the
missions: Wyrms Awaken, Ruby Red, and A Dragon's Aid to unlock the Ozmonfield
symbol.
Then head over to Delia Dunes for the fifth and final crystal battle.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Quiet Sands \
|========================\
Difficulty: Medium
Enemies:
Templar x2
Titania x2
Biskmatar (Llednar)
The Delia Dunes have stopped barking. Enter the area and Marche will complain
about the lack of sound. As he is about to walk out however, a certain Llednar
happens to waltz in. Marche has never seen this monster before so he is a bit
confused. With a simple, yet powerful order, Llednar tells Marche to get out
of here. Just before Llednar pushes him out, a seam opens...
Yes, here it is. The fifth and final crystal is just up ahead. The Llednar
dude is nowhere in sight however. Quietly, Marche disregards him and
continues. Just up ahead, to Marche's great dismay, is the strange man again.
With another order, Llednar orders you to go no further. With a final blow,
Llednar attempts to put Marche in his place...
Suddenly, a commanding voice streaks through the air. Judgemaster Cid has just
appeared in the nick of time to stop Llednar and his deadly intentions. With
an antilaw, the Judgemaster places a law on Llednar's most powerful attack,
Omega. Disabled, Llednar continues to fight, and Marche chooses to stay.
Prepare yourself... against Biskmatar Llednar.
While Llednar summons two Templars and two Titanias, you should send in five
units of your own. The Templars are both formidable opponents. With heavy
Weapon Attack, they can easily chop through your units like a butter knife
through butter. If you bring in any Mages, watch out for Silence, and their
MP damaging attacks, Soul Sphere and Rasp. Astra is a special status
enhancement that automatically nullifies the first status ailment against that
unit. Lifebreak deals lost HP in damage, and Warcry lowers Speed of all
surrounding units.
The two Titanias aren't as dangerous in terms of Weapon Attack, but LV?D Holy
will still pose problems. If the day of month matches your unit's level,
prepare for some heavy Holy damage against you. Angel Whisper both heals HP
and casts Auto-Life on one of their allies. The last of the units, Llednar
himself, is no pushover. He holds incredible Weapon Attack. Even without
Omega, he is a major problem.
First off, his lineup of abilities is very deadly. Abyss acts like a Sage's
Bio, damaging and Poisoning at the same time. Life Render deals damage and
Dooms Llednar's targets. Heart Render deals MP damage. Ripcircle acts by
damaging all surrounding units. And finally, Furycircle deals damage to all
surrounding units as well as knocking them back. However, if you attempt to
damage Llednar, you will find that no matter what you use, Llednar cannot be
killed.
Therefore, it is impossible to defeat the boss. Luckily, there is a way to win
out. Wait out the battle by defeating Llednar's allies, and Cid will
eventually banish Llednar with a Red Card. With that freak gone, Marche may
continue. To his great dismay however, the Totema itself still awaits.
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies:
Vampire x4
Totema (Mateus)
With Llednar defeated for the time being, the final crystal awaits. As a
precaution, Judgemaster Cid asks if Marche would like to leave. Knowing his
destiny, Marche rightfully declines. Leading him into the final room, Cid
states that the final crystal is here. The Totema appears as expected, the
Totema of the Humans. Mateus will suddenly turn into Ritz, then Doned, then
Mewt, and then Marche himself. Knowing that this is just a mind-trick, Marche
disregards it. The fight will begin.
The four figures will turn into four Vampires. Mateus herself appears in the
center. Seeing as this is the toughest of the Totemas, take necessary
precautions with the units you choose to send in. I would strongly suggest a
White Mage against the Vampires and very strong physical attackers.
Mateus has summoned four Vampires to help her out. They are very dangerous and
can prove quite a bit of exasperation. Although the abilities vary from
Vampire to Vampire, you will especially want to watch out for LV? S-Flare
which deals damage to all units with the same one's digit as them. Zombify
turns your allies into Zombies, and Miasma inflicts damage and possible Poison
status.
Mateus herself is quite a difficulty. With HP in the 400s, she obviously
won't be too easy to take down. Weapon Attack is actually in 400s as well!
With a single strike, she can easily KO weaker units. Spellbind is an ability
that damages and Slows. Breath of God is a heavy damage radius attack. Star
Cross is the same as the Illusionist ability damaging all units with Holy
damage. Thundaga is fairly self-explanatory.
Before actually sending in your units, I would suggest using a White Mage to
cast Protect and Shell on them. Therefore, they have a higher chance of
surviving Mateus' damaging attacks. If you really want to win, I would suggest
bypassing the Vampires altogether. Blind them or Disable them to make them
useless and begin going gun-ho at Mateus. There really is no trick. To defeat
this Totema, you are going to need to be a bit more diligent. Good luck.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
With Mateus defeated, the crystal will be destroyed. Ecstatic, Marche realizes
that the world should now go back the way it was! However, nothing is
happening. Marche questions the problem, and Cid states that it was the last
of them. Why are we still here? A voice booms through the air stating that
this world is still wanted. With that, Queen Remedi appears:
"Even without the world-threads binding
it... As long as this world is wanted,
it will exist."
Marche realizes that Queen Remedi is Mewt's mother... If Mewt is to want this
world to exist, the world will stay the way it is. If Mewt continues to want
this world to stay, the world will remain the way it is. Marche realizes that
he himself also wants this world to stay. With those strong words, she
disappears... leaving Marche with a new objective. He has to talk to Mewt!
Back on the world map, haul yourself over to any Pub and listen in on a
conversation. It's Audience Day as Montblanc states. People bring gifts to the
palace, and can easily make connections. Marche figures out a new plan. To
carry it out however, he is going to need the help of Montblanc's brother,
Nono. Place the Materiwood symbol on the map.
Complete side missions and level everyone up to 21-23. When ready, select
Materite Now! and head over to the Materiwood for the next mission.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Materite Now! \
|==========================\
Difficulty: Slightly Hard
Enemies:
Sniper
Summoner
Assassin
Red Mage
White Mage
Elementalist
Marche has successfully located a bit of Materite in the Materiwood. As so
far, no opposition has been encountered so from here on, it's smooth sailing.
However, from his rear, Marche notices a clan of Viera bandits. How could they
have known he was here? The streetear of course was Doned. Nothing we can do
now but engage.
Six units should be brought in. You might want to work for units that are
carrying items making them immune to status ailments; you should especially
prioritize instant KO. The Assassin is bound to give you a few problems with
that. Shadowbind and Last Breath are the two that you should avoid as best as
possible. Shadowbind Stops units right in their tracks and Last Breath deals
an instant KO. That is not something you want happening.
The ranged Sniper will also provide a bunch of problems. Aim: Armor, Aim:
Weapon, and Aim: Wallet destroys the item that they obviously shoot at. Once a
weapon is destroyed, it cannot be used again which makes Aim: Weapon
especially annoying if your unit is carrying a rare weapon. If you are going
to knock the Sniper into critical HP, be sure that you avoid Doom Archer which
deals the lost HP into offensive damage. The move also affects MP. Either KO
her within one turn or Disable her one way or another.
The rest of this Viera group consists of magic-casters. The Elementalist,
capable of using Spirit Magic, will be a major problem for you. Unless you use
a Status law card, prepare to fall to her various "Elemental damage + Status
ailment" spells. Shining Air deals Wind damage and Blind at the same time.
Evil Gaze deals Dark damage and can Confuse. Heavy Dust is a Earth spell that
Immobilizes and finally, Sliprain deals Water elemental damage and Slows
targets down.
Behind her, the Red Mage reigns supreme as the Doublecasting maniac.
Doublecast allows her to send out two spells in one, single turn. However, you
can rid her of that ability by simply stealing her Madu (Rapier). Because she
hasn't mastered Doublecast, stealing her weapon will prevent her from using an
unmastered ability. Even with Doublecast however, the Red Mage still won't
pose much of a threat with Fire, Thunder, Sleep, and Poison. KO her whichever
way you choose.
The Viera Summoner is your standard, generic enemy. Remember that Summon
spells have a much larger radius of effect than normal spells. All spells will
affect units two tiles out horizontally and vertically and one tile diagonally
on each corner. If you group your units together, your Summoner will wreak
havoc. Make sure she doesn't take the best of you. Madeen, dealing heavy Holy
damage, will be very hard to recover from. And finally, the White Mage has
four simple yet powerful spells. Curaga cures HP, Esuna heals status,
Auto-Life revives to full HP, and Shell protects from harmful magic spells.
The way you choose to tackle this battle is your choice. I always like to take
down the Assassin first followed by the White Mage. Without the White Mage,
your enemy team is incapable of reviving fallen allies as well as becoming
very lacking in the ability to heal. The Assassin should be taken down early
just to avoid her dark techniques. As a possible strategy, group all your
enemies by the cliff in the northwest corner and push them off for heavy
damage and of course, lots of laughs.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Defeating Doned's plan, Marche calls out to his brother. Appearing from
behind, Marche's brother gives him a nice thwack on the head. Instead of
anger, Marche is instantly happy to see him. However, Doned did take the
Materite from him... with a quick lunge, he chucks it toward making it explode
into pieces. Surprised at this treason, Marche demands to know what has gotten
into his brother. Doned apparently, has very similar intentions to Ritz. He
wants this world to stay too... There's nothing left for him in the other
world. The thought of being left with nothing... Doned runs off, and Marche
bows his head. Giving a final subtle statement, Marche speaks of one thing
Doned has that Marche had always wanted...
Back on the world map, Bervenia Palace will automatically place itself on the
world map. More missions can be found at the Pubs, however, stepping into
Bervenia Palace will automatically trigger the next mission, Present Day.
When you feel ready for the next mission (It's sort of a toughie), step into
the capital of Ivalice and engage.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Present Day \
|========================\
Difficulty: Slightly Hard
Enemies:
Templar
Alchemist
Mog Knight
Gladiator x2
Despite the "run-in" with Doned, Marche and Montblanc were still able to get
Nono to make them a legitimate gift in time for Present Day. At the start,
Montblanc will comfort Marche on the fact that the palace won't even recognize
him. Walking a bit forward, the two of them enter the palace... Nono's gift,
the "Lugaborg" is sure to get them in.
In the palace waiting room, Marche begins to complain about the waiting time.
Everyone else has already gone. Montblanc responds suggesting that something
may be... wrong? If there was some kind of trouble, then the two of them were
in deep waters indeed. Behind them, a door opened and a group of palace guards
enter. It seems that they've figured out who you are. A tip from a concerned
citizen was their lead; the concerned citizen obviously being Doned.
This battle may be a bit problematic because of the tiny size of the arena
(Heck, we are fighting in the palace waiting room). Luckily, the opposition
has the same problem as well. If you bring in a Summoner, you can probably
expect your enemies to be grouped up together. When they do just that, give
them a full-powered taste of Madeen or Ifrit. Because of the lack of space,
magic units would do very well. However, be sure to not group up your units
either or you might be forced to make sacrifices.
Leading the offensive, the Bangaa Templar is nightmarishly strong. He excels
at Weapon Attack and Weapon Defense so you might want to Disable him before
he gets too far. Because of Bonecrusher which counter-attacks with an added
1.5x to Weapon Attack, avoid close-range attacks. Ability-wise, Astra
nullifies the first status ailment against an unit, Warcry lowers Speed of
surrounding units, Rasp deals MP damage, and Haste speeds an unit up.
The two Gladiators can be dealt with much quicker, but their Weapon Attack are
really high. The elemental "Spellblade" attacks will be sure to pose some
problems for your units. The standard Rush, Beatdown, and Blitz abilities make
their appearance as well. Do take precautions when using the Fight move at
close range. The Reaction Ability, Strikeback, will nullify the incoming
attack at weapon range as well as following up with an attack of their own.
With Weapon Attack in the 340s, you will by all means want to avoid that.
The only Moogle here plays his role as a Mog Knight. Mog Attack pushes units
back one tile while damaging, Mog Lance is a ranged attack, Mog Rush is a
generic high-powered and low-accuracy attack, Mog Shield helps defend by
casting Protect and Shell on himself, and Mog Aid heals HP. However, although
Mog Knights are normally dangerous, the lack of Reaction Ability or Ultima
Charge makes this Moogle a bit less threatening. Nonetheless, take necessary
precautions and watch it.
The only magic-caster plays an Alchemist jobset. You will want to especially
watch out for Death, which will deal an instant KO. However, if you notice
that Death has not been mastered yet, know that if the Life Crosier is stolen,
the enemy Alchemist will have no access to that move. Use that to your
advantage. Other abilities consist of Flare which deals heavy damage, Poison
which of course, Poisons, and Toad which inflicts Frog status on an enemy
unit.
As stated before, magic-casters or radius-damage attacks work very well in
such a small arena. The Templar will most likely play the battle by casting
Haste on his allies. The three Bangaas are the ones you want to watch out for.
All three have very high Weapon Attack which can be devastating to the magic
unit lacking in Weapon Defense. Once those three are out of the way however,
the remaining portion of the battle is a cakewalk.
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies:
Biskmatar (Llednar)
With the inital opposition defeated, more guards begin to run in. By now, it
seems as if getting through would be impossible. Suddenly, Mewt's Nu Mou
servant, Babus, appears. Instead of going against you however, Babus Stops
the guards right in their tracks. Confused by this sudden change of position,
Marche asks Babus why he's helping him. Responding, the Nu Mou states that he
wishes to know more about what is going on with these "worlds."
Babus soon warps you to the Prince's throne room. Mewt is pacing along. Babus
brings Marche up, and Mewt is instantly angry to see him. Knowing he hasn't
got much time, Marche tries to reason with Mewt as quickly as possible. Mewt
realizes that even Babus is now against him. Before Mewt could be changed,
Remedi warps in to comfort him. However, Mewt is taken away... and Marche is
left with nothing...
To add insult to injury, Llednar has been summoned to rid the palace of this
presense. Babus agrees to help, but Marche tells him to try to trace where
Mewt and the Queen had gone. However, as of now, Marche must engage with
Llednar... You should notice that the barrier protecting Llednar from damage
is still active. Therefore, the objective is not to win, but to SURVIVE. The
amount of turns required is five, but that won't be easy.
The main difficulty with this mission is the fact that Llednar will most
likely take the first turn. However, if you leveled up Marche as a Thief or a
Ninja, you might prevail and take the first turn. If you aren't faster, then
pray that Llednar doesn't use Omega. If he lands that, the battle is already
over. Use your turns wisely by running away from Llednar every single turn.
In order for Llednar to use Omega, he has to be right next to you.
Therefore, I recommend that for your first turn (If you survived), you run in
the opposite direction. Therefore, Biskmatar Llednar will be forced to use
Abyss which Poisons and damages. However, that is easily solved with Potions.
Spend five turns running away from Llednar if you want to win. In the end,
the Judgemaster will make his presense, and the battle is over...
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Llednar, knowing the danger that Judgemaster Cid poses, instantly warps out.
The first question that the Judgemaster asks of Marche is the location of
Mewt. Marche then tells Cid what has happened over the course of the last
hour. However, Marche has one question of his own. Who is Llednar?
"He's Mewt."
Surprised at this strange answer, Marche is instantly stupefied. Judgemaster
Cid further reinforces it by stating that Llednar is basically an aspect of
Mewt. Although Mewt himself has never shown such a violent personality,
Llednar proves that Mewt, by alls means, is capable. Llednar is like the
Totemas; he was designed for the sole purpose to protect Mewt and the crystals
that bind the world together...
Cid agrees to help Babus and disembark in search of Mewt. Marche agrees to
these terms, and decides that he should talk to Ritz and Doned. He feels that
before he attempts to persuade Mewt, he must first persuade his friend and
brother. Judgemaster Cid takes his leave, and Marche is left to complete his
tasks.
Once the mission is complete and over with, place Tubola Cave on the world
map. Many sub-missions are making their first appearance at the Pubs. Whether
you choose to deal with them or not, make sure that you select Hidden Vein
and continue with your quest. Also, to unlock Jagd Helje, complete Mission
#64 Den of Evil.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Hidden Vein \
|========================\
Difficulty: Medium
Enemies:
Sage
Juggler
Animist
Blue Mage
Mog Knight
White Monk
Now that we're out mythril hunting, Doned will be sure to try to interfere
again. Marche walks into the Tubola Cave area pretending to be searching for
mythril. A voice splits the area. "Stop! Thief!" Marche is dumbfounded. The
enemy group states that Marche is stealing their mythril. Apparently, Doned
has turned him in... again! Surrounded, Marche has no other options but to
engage.
When you bring in your units, be sure that you position them so they can take
attacks from both sides. With three units on one side and three units on the
other, your position is flanked. The first of your opponents to move would
most likely be the Moogle Juggler. The Knife that he holds is one of the
strongest in this game. You can easily disable his Weapon Attack by simply
stealing it. Watch out for Dagger which damages and Disables. Firebomb can be
annoying as it Berserks and damages while Smile automatically gives one of
allies the next turn.
The Sage will become a pit of many of your problems. Giga Flare is one of the
most powerful magic spells a Nu Mou has to offer. This move is also second to
Ultima Blow in terms of damage. If you group your units together, Giga Flare
can affect all of them as it is capable of dealing damage to multiple units.
The last unit on the east side is a Mog Knight. Mog Guard is used to guard
himself. Mog Rush deals heavy damage at the cost of lowered accuracy, Mog
Shield automatically nullifies one status ailment, Mog Peek detects hidden
items, and Mog Aid heals HP and status.
A Bangaa White Monk leads an offensive to the west. Earth Render can damage
all units directly in front of that unit. It can be devastating if you don't
watch your unit placement. The White Monk is also capable of reviving fallen
allies with Revive. Next on the list is the Moogle Animist. You should avoid
Tail Wag, a Charming move, and Friend, a completely wildcard ability with
unpredictable results. Finally, the Blue Mage finishes off the set with
various Blue Magic techniques. Twister cuts off 1/2 HP right off the bat.
Bad Breath will deal multiple status ailments. Roulette KOs a random unit on
the field. And White Wind will heal the amount of HP he has remaining.
This battle isn't that tough. The only real problematic units would be the
Sage or the Blue Mage. The latter can wreak havoc with Bad Breath and
Roulette. However, ban Color Magic with a law card and his abilities go down
the drain. Likewise, ban Skills and the Sage is disabled in terms of using his
Sagacity Skill. Overall, this story mission is nothing tough. What is soon to
come however, will be.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Once the enemy force is defeated, Marche will call out to Doned. Walking in,
Marche's little brother realizes that this was basically a trick to get Doned
out of hiding. Still reluctant to go come, Doned refuses to go home. However,
Marche states to Doned that he had always had the attention. As a single
mother, Marche was always swept to the side while Doned received all that he
wanted. Realizing his error, Doned sadly apologizes and agrees to help Marche
change back the world...
Now back on the world map, the Deti Plains symbol can be placed anywhere to
your liking. Find yourself a Pub to walk into and a cutscene will commence.
Doned has agreed to take your side. As of now, he is helping you out with your
mission. As they discuss possibilities, a Bangaa walks in with a message to
Marche. It's from Judgemaster Cid. Apparently, Babus and Cid have discovered
Mewt's location. The Queen and the Prince are both hiding out in Ambervale.
With one step done, Cid asks of you to meet him on the Deti Plains.
Once you walk into the Deti Plains area, the next battle will automatically
begin. However, before you do that, I'd suggest completing side missions and
leveling up your clan to ready yourselves for the next mission and the
ultimate final battle which is soon to come.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : To Ambervale \
|=========================\
Difficulty: Medium
Enemies:
Coeurl
Lilith
Thundrake
Jawbreaker
Big Malboro
On our way to the Deti Plains, Marche comes across a group of monsters in his
path. What comes next should be drilled in your head by now. Bring in another
five units in addition to Marche himself. Before we can find Judgemaster Cid,
we are going to have to take care of this monster threat first. Cid hasn't
arrived yet so take your time. As a story mission, you can already expect
these monsters to be a bit tougher than some normal engagement.
The nearest target, a Coeurl stands valiantly. Blaster is his only technique,
but each casting will Petrify an unit. Being a ranged ability, keeping your
units away won't always help. Therefore, I'd suggest taking it down before a
chance to use it is taken. Even so, its Weapon Attack power is fairly high.
Ridding the battlefield of the Coeurl first will make advancing through the
arena much easier as there won't be any opposition blocking the front-lower
area.
I normally get stuck up at bottom where the waterfall hits the edge of the
map. Usually, if you take down the Coeurl, you can avoid any pre-battle
traffic jams. However, you might still find that the Jawbreaker attempts to
impede your path very often. If any of your units have levels divisible by
three or five, watch out for LV3 Def-less and LV5 Death. The latter provides
instant death to all units with levels divisible by five and LV3 Def-less
lowers the Defense and Resistance of all units with levels divisible by three.
Even worse, they both have a 100% chance of hitting if the levels pertain
correctly.
By this point, you should be nearing the west side of the arena and beginning
to climb the steps up to the higher level. The Big Malboro will be a nuisance
with Bad Breath. In short, it is capable of inflicting a large number of
status ailments on you with one cast. Soundwave is less of a problem as it
only Dispels any status enhancements. Further up, a Lilith reigns supreme.
Avoid being caught at distances with Twister. Poison Frog inflicts Poison and
Frog status while Kiss inflicts Doom and Charm.
I always prefer to take this battle on in order. The monsters aren't too smart
and usually stick to their area. If you take out the monsters as they come,
the battle will flow through. Unless you are wearing Galmia Shoes (In which
you can just jump up the cliff), you will need to transcend through the path
anyway. You should end at the Thundrake. If you have retained most of your
units while pushing through, it will fall easily despite holding Bolt Breath
and Geomancy.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
Arriving right after the battle, Cid appears. Marche asks Cid if he has met
Mewt and the Queen yet. The Judgemaster shakes his head and asks Marche a
favor. What he needs is some amber from Siena Gorge. Cid has begun to plot
with Ezel. Marche is obviously surprised at the fact that a Judgemaster would
go to such lengths as creating an antilaw. Marche agrees to the objective
and the two of them part again.
... As they both walk off in separate directions, a certain pink-haired girl
appears. What could her intentions possibly be?
Siena Gorge must now be placed on the map. A number of new missions are now
available at the Pub. Complete them to whatever extent you'd like. If you
step into Siena Gorge, you will automatically engage in battle so make sure
you are completely ready. For starters, I'd recommend leveling up all your
units to at least 26-27. When ready, head into Siena Gorge.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Over The Hill \
|==========================\
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies:
Fencer
Summoner
Assassin
Elementalist
Sniper (Shara)
Red Mage (Ritz)
Our last stop before we head off to Ambervale is Siena Gorge. There, we are to
find some amber for Judgemaster Cid to create the antilaw he needs. Entering
the Siena Gorge, a pink-haired girl stands valiantly at the top of a large
pass. Laughing for a second, Ritz is positioned with her clan. Next to her is
Shara. With a sense of confidence, Ritz states that when Marche might be
engaging them, it just seems kind of funny.
A surprising turn of events, huh? Ritz had never wanted to go back home, so
this battle was sure to come eventually. Marche enters and realizes what is
about to commence. For the next engagement, they are no longer aquaintenences.
Marche is going over that hill. Ritz however, will use all her power to stop
that. Knowing that she won't give up now, Marche prepares to engage. Bring in
five additional units and the epic battle between Marche and Ritz will begin.
We had never battled Ritz and her clan before, so this might be something new.
Ritz's clan consists of Viera only. She does well with a good balance between
magic and physical units. You should do the same. At the start of the battle,
climb up the hill to meet Clan Ritz at the edge. Try not to move further onto
the wooden bridge as traffic jams will be sure to start there. Instead, stay
back and let Ritz come to you.
Now that you are in a good position to start your offensive from, begin to
build up your units and prepare to attack. The first of Clan Ritz to most
likely move would be the Assassin. With 200 points in Speed, she can move
pretty fast. Even so, the Ninja Tabi allows her to move 6 tiles which can
become pretty threatening. Do not let her get behind you and use Last Breath.
Aphonia is only dangerous to magic units as it Silences and Rockseal can
Petrify units into stone. Oblivion works by Addling a target.
The Fencer has mediocre Weapon Attack for a physical unit. Luckily, she is
fairly lacking in abilities. Swallowtail damages surrounding units,
Piercethrough works like a Spear-jab by dealing damage to two units directly
in front of her, and Nighthawk is a ranged attack. Of the magic-casters, the
Summoner will be sure to pose a few problems with her Summon spells. Madeen
will deal incredible Holy damage. Also, her castings can deal damage to all
units two tiles away and one tile diagonally from the center of damage. Don't
group your units together and her spells will be less devastating.
Taking up a particularly problematic position, the Elementalist will be sure
to get in your way. Because all of her techniques have status ailments
connected (With exception to White Flame), you will not only be struck by
magic, but also inflicted with certain status ailments. Fire Whip deals Fire
damage and can also Disable an unit. Shining Air will deal Wind damage along
with Blinding a target. Heavy Dust deals Earth damage with a chance of
Immobilizing. Beware of the Elementalshift as well. Once through, you might be
taking heavy damage because of taking elemental weaknesses that Elementalshift
exploited.
Ritz's right-hand man (or in this case, Viera) is apparent as a Sniper. Her
Weapon Attack is high enough to prove a difficulty. Even so, her abilities are
ones to watch out for. I'd mostly recommend banning Missile attacks altogether
(Law Card). However, if that can't possibly apply to you, I'd suggest you take
her down fast. Death Sickle will inflict Doom status from far away. Doom
Archer deals lost HP in damage against. Aim: Weapon and Aim: Armor will
destroy the selected item. The last two should be taken with caution if you
are wearing or wielding any valuable weaponry or clothing.
Finally, the boss herself plays a role as a Red Mage. Ritz is no easy matter
to overcome. Her Weapon Attack is mediocre, but you will hardly see her
actually using Fight moves. As a Red Mage, it is true that Doublecast is
apparent. With it, she can cast Fire, Thunder, or Blizzard against you for
offensive damage. Magic Pow+ boosts the Magic Power and therefore makes each
hit hurt. Be wary of "Sleep + Offensive Magic" combos as well. Being put to
Sleep can make a unit vulnerable to spells right off the bat. Simply
Silencing her wouldn't work as Ribbon nullifies all status ailments. Not good.
The main objective is defeating Ritz. Being at the front of the group, that
objective is easily accomplished if you just feel like rushing through the
mission. While you fight however, I'd suggest you Steal some of the items
around. Max's Oathbow, SeventhHeaven, and Ritz's Femme Fatale are all very
useful items to take. Defeat Ritz to take her down. The pass... is now clear.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
The battle is now over...
As the dust settles, Ritz turns her back on Marche. Unable to stop him...
Unable to prevail... With her defeat, you are allowed to pass and continue.
Marche leaves the area while Ritz and Shara are left by themselves. Ritz now
realizes that Marche has transformed from the new kid back in St. Ivalice.
The final battle is up ahead. When you are ready, head to Ambervale... and
prepare for the final fight.
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
| Mission : Royal Valley \
|=========================\
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies:
Ninja
Gunner
Assassin
Alchemist
Illusionist
Biskmatar (Llednar)
Finally, after many obstacles, we find ourselves in the final chapters...
Ambervale... the Royal Valley. As Marche is led into the area, he denotes the
beauty of this palace. Judgemaster Cid has located Mewt to this position. As
the two walk forward, the music stops as they discover Babus lying unconscious
on the ground. An unknown voice states the fact that he isn't dead... yet.
Llednar again. As always, he is here for trouble. Not letting you pass, Cid
pulls out a special Law Card. With the cast, all Laws protecting Llednar are
nullified. The invincible barrier surrounding Llednar will break. Now
vulnerable to attack, the Biskmatar still fights. Bringing in his units, the
battle will begin. This time however, you won't be running away from Llednar.
Now, you must fight him... and thus, defeat him. You have the option of
sending in three units of your choice. Unless you want to take Llednar on
singlehandedly, I'd suggest you take advantage of that. A White Mage will be
very logical for the incoming fight.
The Biskmatar's group consists of a Ninja, a Gunner, an Assassin, an
Alchemist, and an Illusionist. The first three are the main difficulty. The
Ninja is capable of using Double Sword. From past experience, you know that
two high-powered Katanas against you will generate a lot of hurt. Along with
that, watch out for his ranged "Veil" attacks. Fire Veil deals Fire elemental
damage and will Confuse an unit. Earth Veil uses Earth elemental damage and
can Slow a target. Water Veil deals Water damage and will Silence a target.
Finally, Oblivion inflicts Addle status on an enemy which disallows them to
use Action Abilities.
The Moogle Gunner is sure to pose some problems. His ability line-up consists
of Charmshot, Blindshot, Silenshot, and Stopshot. Luckily, he doesn't have
Concentrate so he can easily be counteracted by Blinding him. The nearby
Assassin can be particularly dangerous using her Corner techniques. Take
caution and watch out for Nightmare and Rockseal. No Last Breath makes her
much less dangerous. Even so, her abilities will give you many problems if you
aren't careful.
The two magic-casters of this group are an Illusionist and an Alchemist. The
latter of the two is capable of instant KO with Death along with heavy damage
through Flare. Toad should also be taken with caution as it turns his target
into a Frog. The Illusionist is a master of Phantasm Magic. Included are
Prominence which deals Fire damage to all units, Tempest which deals Lightning
damage to all units, Stardust which rains meteors down on all units, Soil
Evidence which deals Earth damage to every unit, and Wild Tornado which
initiates Wind damage on all units.
Finally, Biskmatar Llednar plays a role as the boss. Now that he can be hurt,
you should no longer run from him. (Remember the Present Day battle?) Wielded
are a few useful items. Excalibur is a high-powered Knightsword and Peytral
is a rare piece of Armor. Ability-wise, there's nothing stopping Llednar from
using Omega now. Heavy damage will most likely KO your units within a single
strike. Do your best to avoid that. Life Render will damage and Doom. Don't
try to surround him either as Furycircle will just push them all back.
This battle is over once Llednar is defeated. Go gun-ho against him and he'll
fall beneath your blade. Without his barrier, he will be vulnerable to defeat.
With that, he crumbles and shall live no more...
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies:
Battle Queen (Queen Remedi)
Dephs x2 (Famfrit/Adrammelech)
It turns out that Babus was really just knocked out. Marche succeeds in waking
him up luckily. The first thing he asks is where the Prince is. We still
hadn't gone inside yet so we couldn't have completed our task yet. Babus
cannot fight anymore. He stays behind while both Marche and Cid venture inside
the chapel. Once inside, the two of them meet Remedi. With that, she
reinforces the fact that this world is still an illusion. At the same time,
Marche demands to know where Mewt is. The Queen then states that even Marche
isn't ready to let this world go. Being the moral person he is, Marche
admits to liking this world. However, it isn't real. Mewt's voice booms
through the air. Suddenly, he appears in the hand of the statue ahead. Mewt
still doesn't want to leave...
Now Queen Remedi is obligated to use any means necessary in order to extract
Marche from this area. With that, she transforms into Battle Queen mode and
summons two Dephs, her own creatures of incredible power. Prepare to fight
Battle Queen Remedi and her two creations, a resurrection of Famfrit and
Adrammelech. They still have their own tricks up their sleeve. If you ever
want to go back, you must defeat the Queen.
Famfrit on the right is basically a more powerful version of the first Totema
we had battled. However, you will note that his level and stats have gone up
considerably. If you thought he was difficult before, now he will be a
nightmare. Breath of God is still in his ability line-up. Still capable of
using that destructive casting, expect heavy damage. Lightspeed works a lot
like Greased Bolt or Faster by delivering an attack that bypasses R-Abilities.
Presense deals damage and knocks a target back one tile. You should already
be aware of what Demi does. Cutting off 1/2 an unit's HP will hurt.
In addition to that monster, Adrammelech of the Bangaas will aid Remedi and
your destruction. Lightspeed is the same move that Famfrit. Firestream is a
high-powered Fire attack that deals damage to all units standing directly in
front of him. Howl of Rage is basically Warcry as it lowers the Speed of
surrounding units. Watch out for his heavy Weapon Attack. A strike from that
will send most units into critical HP.
The Battle Queen herself is no laughing matter. She currently holds the
highest Weapon Attack out of both her Dephs heathens. However, she is
currently incapable of using any abililities. Therefore, if you can just
avoid her bite, then you should be fine. Defeat the two Totema clones and
then focus on Remedi. Don't allow her to touch you however, as a hit from her
would take most units down. Defeat Remedi and complete the battle...
Is it over...?
Difficulty: Very Hard
Enemies:
Deph x2 (Mateus)
Li-grim (Remedi)
Queen Remedi has been defeated... or not. Mewt appears once again and Marche
takes this chance in a vain attempt to talk to him. Mewt's beginning to break
down finally. While Remedi is weakened, Marche does his best and tries to coax
with him. The Queen gets up again and walks over to Mewt. "I am the wish-
gatherer. I am the world-maker." No longer is she Queen Remedi. Now she is the
pure essence that binds this world together. Defeat her... and the wishes
shall be undone... With that, the Li-Grim brings in two more Dephs. This time,
they are Mateus, the Human Totema. The epic battle we had all been waiting
for shall begin in the next few seconds. This really is the end.
Bring in five units and let the final battle begin. Before we go over Li-Grim,
you might want to know what the two Dephs Remedi has summoned are capable of.
The last Totema battle was difficult. Now, you are up against two Mateuses.
Spellbind deals Dark damage and can Slow a target. Breath of God is a new and
improved version of Famfrit's original signature move. Along with that, both
Mateuses have mastered Star Cross which deals Holy damage to all enemy units
and Thundaga, the Black Magic spell.
Li-Grim herself is a difficulty. Lucky for you, her Weapon Attack has gone
down. What appeared however were a bunch of abilities; all of them being
dangerous in their own sense. Lawshift is one annoying ability that is also
very unpredictable. Basically, she is capable of shifting the Laws to her
liking, and Cid has no control over it. Amber Gleam acts by Dispeling status
enhancements. Her offensive magic (Ricca) consists of Llednar's Omega which
deals heavy damage. However, Alpha dwarves even Omega in terms of damage!
Descent sends in a random Totema and Magi deals lot of damage really, really
fast.
If you really want to win as quickly as possible, send all your units on a
collision course against Remedi. The Mateuses are dangerous, but attacking
them will only allow Remedi more time to use Omega or Alpha. From here on,
there's really no more strategy. The remaining battle depends on your
determination and your sheer power. Overwhelm Remedi... and the world-
thread... shall disappear...
[-----------------------------------------------------------------------------]
The battle is over... Remedi has been banished... and the world will change
back. Unsurprisingly, the game has been completed. Enjoy the ending. A great
congratulations to you on defeating the game!

| |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5. Missions ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[5000]~| |
|_|=========================================================================|_|
Missions play an integral part of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. A number of
them are required to get through the game of course, but that only accounts
for about 1/12 the total amount of the whoppin' 300 missions to play through.
So if you want to complete the game 100%, I'd suggest you follow this section.
Keep in mind that the earlier missions will eventually disappear to be
replaced by the larger end missions. I have had this happen very often, so
take a word of advice, complete every mission that you possibly can. If you
decide to hold off on even one mission, it might scar your game forever. I'm
not talking about the missions which you don't have Mission Items for, just
the ones that you CAN do but decide NOT to.
There are four different types of missions. The icons all represent the four.
A sword represents an Engagement. A scroll of paper represents a Dispatch. A
clan helmet represents an Encounter. And finally, a white flag represents a
Capture.
* NOTE: There is a possibility that the Gil cost for each mission will
differ from Pub to Pub or depending on how late in the game you are.
The prices you see are the prices which you will pay as soon as a
mission appears.

This mission is impossible to avoid. At the beginning of the game,
it will be the only mission on the board. Luckily, it isn't hard...
Enter the Giza Plains area and Marche and Montblanc will walk in.
Immediately, Marche will notice some monsters and note that they
will have to clear them out. You are allowed four more clan members
(or everyone in your clan obviously) to join the battle. This isn't
difficult at all so you can take your time. The Goblins aren't very
powerful but the Red Cap can cause some problems. I'd suggest
bombarding it with Black Magic from Montblanc. The Sprite should
probably be left for last as it doesn't use any abilities and its
Fight move does miniscule damage. Once you defeat all enemies, you
will have won your first battle.

This battle is really a major step up from the previous "Monster
Mash" that we just had. Instead of the weakling Goblins, now we are
up against a group of pickpockets who have a few tricks up their
sleeves.
The two units at the top of the arena are a White Mage and a lvl. 4
Thief. Those two (obviously) cannot be attacked towards the first
few rounds because of their position but you should attempt to
prioritize them the best you can. The stronger, lvl. 4 Thief
Reaction ability, Counter that should be something new to you. To
avoid that ability, use ranged attacks like Montblanc's Black Magic
or your Archer. The Soldiers use Mug often, but other than that,
they just attack with sword slashes. While their swords can do some
damage, don't waste time on them until the end of the battle. Defeat
the Archer quickly before it can use any of his annoying, Aim: Arm
or Aim: Legs crap. When everyone is taken down, the mission is yours
and Dalilei's thesis is back into safekeeping.
#3 The Cheetahs ~

Marche will step into the Nubswood area and whom else does he find
other than his old friend, Ritz!... Along with a Viera who calls
herself Shara. Also on the playing field is the clan which calls
themselves the "Cheetahs." And after a bit of a reunion, the battle
begins with you being allied with Ritz and Shara. With that, this
engagement is that much easier.
I wouldn't suggest a White Mage for this battle, while you can still
bring one in if you are unsure of your clan, there's a very little
chance that any of your units will actually get KOed as long as you
know what you're doing. You can only bring in three other clanners
so the free space can be useful. You should take out the White Mage
first obviously. Then, go for the Archer which can immobilize and
disable your units. I know you might want to prioritize the Thief
and Fighter, but during this battle, they aren't really any threat.
Your second priority should be the White Monk, and the rest is your
choice. It's a very easy battle so take your time.

Marche and Montblanc will walk into the area when the two are
greeted by a group of monsters. Well, nothing else to do but engage
them.
This is a tough battle considering how early in the game it is. You
probably don't have any better jobs other than the regular Archer,
Soldier, etc. The toughest monsters here are the Panther class.
Those are the two Red Panthers and the Coeurl which is a stronger,
blue version of the Red Panther. All three have incredible attack
power and their defense are really high. If your Archer has learned
Aim: Arm, target the Coeurl to disable it for a while. The Cream is
a strange creature which is barely affected by physical attack.
However, use Fire (As it is weak against fire elemental) from one
of your Black Mages to kill it in one shot or critically damage it.
With the three Panthers out of the way, this battle will go much
quicker.

Marche will slowly walk into the Ulei River area. After looking
around a tiny bit, he concludes that nothing seems to be wrong.
However, a strange black warp will appear in the center of the
screen. Immediately, Marche is on his guard, but his cautiousness
isn't enough to avoid the warp itself which sends Marche to a strange
temple-like area...
At first, Marche will be confused. However, he looks ahead and
notices something... A crystal! But before he can do anything, a
strange voice booms through the air demanding Marche's name. Uttering
a nervous whisper, Marche returns the question. A strange creature
warps out of the crystal and explains to you that his name is
Famfrit, the Totema of the first crystal. Though he looks friendly,
he isn't about to let some insecure human get to the crystal which
he was charged with defending. Calling upon two Floateyes and two
Ahrimans, he wishes to engage.
The objective here is to defeat the boss. In this case, it's the
Moogle Totema, Famfrit. If your units are leveled up well enough,
this battle will go much quicker. The best thing you can do would
be to put Famfrit to sleep and deal with the other monsters first
even though your objective is to take out Famfrit. While Famfrit is
asleep, you will want Marche or your main attacker to get up to him
and give him a nice slash or smack to wake him and get a free hit.
Note that one of the Ahriman's knows the ability, Roulette. It gets
in a corner and randomly KOs a random unit, on your team or even
on his own team. Diligently cut away at Famfrit's health and you
should defeat this Totema.

It seems that shady Nu Mou fellow we met before in Cadoan is now in
trouble. Marche isn't too smart here. Oh yes, let's help some random
Nu Mou stranger that we only met through chance. Anyhow, Marche,
being the ethical fellow he is, decides to help the troubled Nu Mou,
whether he's a murderer or simply a innocent bystander. Let's find
out.
The battle consists of your clan versus six other enemies. Ezel the
Hermetic (Yes, you learn that the Nu Mou fellow is the great Ezel
Berbier) will help you out but he won't actually attack. His ability,
Azoth, can put all the enemies to sleep. However, since you can't
control him, it's hard to tell if Ezel will use it or not. Anyhow,
the Illusionist is probably a new unit you haven't yet seen before.
Illusionists use Phantasm to throw a spell and damage the entire
field without having to manually hit something.
This battle is tough, yes, but if you know who to prioritize, you
should be fine. If your clan has low Magic Resistance, the
Illusionist should be your main target. If your clan has low Defense,
the Fighter and Defender should be taken out immediately. The Hunter
and Ninja on the upper rear end of the playing field should be
attacked last. Constantly attack and you should be fine. Be sure that
Ezel stays alive however!

Lamia
Ice Flan
Icedrake
Take a look at the enemies list for this mission. Yep, all of them
are monsters, and all of them have incredibly valuable abilities for
a Blue Mage, or your Morpher. Therefore, you might want to bring in
a Beastmaster (Along with a Blue Mage) or a Hunter. However, be aware
that this monster battle is no pushover, so make sure you also bring
in your best units too.
The enemies are all generic, except for the Ice Flan. As you might
already know, the Flan group of monsters only are affected by magical
spells. The most effective one would be the Fire elemental, which
one of your Black Mage's should already have. The two Icedrakes
differ in abilities. One has the Dragoon tech, Ice Breath, and the
other holds Mighty Guard. Both Icedrakes have high attack power, so
beware.
To start off, you should attack the Lamia, and the Ice Flan with a
nice ranged Fire elemental attack. Following up, take out the first
Icedrake. The Bomb can be left for last, as it doesn't hold any
redeeming qualities. Once you get the Ice Flan and the Icedrakes out
of the way, the battle will become another generic monster fight.
Easy enough.

Marche steps into the Roda Volcano area and starts nagging about the
heat. Suddenly, a violent earthquake occurs, and a strange black warp
appears in the middle. The first thing Marche notices is that there
must be a crystal here! The warp blows off, and swallows you into the
abyss...
As the screen fades back in, you should note the difference in the
colors. Instead of the gray, dark area that held the last crystal,
this one is colorful, and lively. Butterflies even litter the area.
Marche notes as well the butterflies, and how different this area is
from the last. Luckily, there doesn't seem to be any Totema guarding
this crystal, so Marche walks up to it... Suddenly, a number of
Ultima Crystals fade in. Looks like it isn't going to be as easy as
we expected.
These strange Ultima Crystals are actually the Totema itself. They
are very different from the previous Totema, Famfrit because they are
incapable of moving. In fact, they are pretty much inanimate objects
made to guard this second crystal. Wait a second, if they can't move,
you can use that to your advantage! These Ultima Crystal's only
other attack is Logos, an annoying move which not only Charms you,
but lowers your Attack and Defense.
There is a very easy way to knock these things out. If you use this
strategy, the battle becomes that much easier. The idea is to get up
right next to the Ultima Crystals, while out of the range of the
others. The Ultima Crystal you are standing next to won't use Logos
unless you are at least one tile away. Therefore, it will be forced
to use its Fight move, which does weak damage. If at every turn, you
use this strategy, you should be able to get out of this battle with
all your units intact. Be sure you only send one unit to each Ultima
Crystal as if you have two against one, it will use Logos.
Be sure that when you try to take out one Ultima Crystal, you aren't
in the range of another. The first one you destroy will be the
hardest as there aren't too many areas safe from the Logos of the
other ones. Just don't group your units together and you should be
fine. The Ultima Crystals are annoying, but they do have that one
weakness. Take advantage of it, and you should win this battle with
incredible ease.

Thief x2
Summoner
Deep in the Koringwood, a group of illegal lumberjacks are cutting
down some magic wood to sell for a lot of Gil elsewhere. Luckily,
Marche walks in within the nick of time to quickly stop them. Time
to engage.
This time, you are engaging against seven other members, with each
being pretty strong in his or her own sense. You are allowed five
members including Marche, so the odds are against you this time.
However, if you eliminate the biggest threats firsthand, the battle
will become much easier. Nevertheless, it is never a bad idea to
invest a spot for a White Mage.
The first enemies to move will probably be the two Thieves. They
aren't the most dangerous, so if you don't have to attack them, just
ignore them for the time being. If you are really paranoid about
them stealing something, you can always Blind them. The Sniper is
fairly dangerous, but doesn't hold too many abilities. Now, the
Archer however, should be defeated as soon as possible to avoid her
abilities.
The remaining units are all magic casters, so they can easily be
disabled if you can possibly cast some sort of Silence on them.
Since Templar's are good at this kind of stuff, try to have one with
you. Once the Time Mage, Summoner, and Black Mage are Silenced, they
are completely helpless. I'd suggest keeping these three Silenced,
while you focus on the others. Leave the magic casters for last.
The main problem here is numbers. However, even though the opponent
outnumbers you about 5 to 7, you can improvise. Instead of going
gun-ho at every enemy unit, use status ailmenting attacks to maybe
keep them at bay for a few turns. Use an Archer or Gunner to Blind
your enemies, and the battle is automatically yours. If you can use
abilities to your advantage, this battle flows much quicker.

Templar x2
Runeseeker (Babus
Trotting slowly into the Salika Keep area, Marche begins his search
for this "giant emerald crystal." As he rounds the steps, he begins
to wonder if this is one of those "crystals." An unknown voice will
call to you ahead. The screen shifts and you will realize that Babus
is here as well on Mewt's personal orders. Babus will ask of Marche,
someone who means the Prince ill.
Marche however, knows who that person is. In an attempt to get his
way out of any accusations, Marche immediately tells him not. But
his conscience blabbers out his words, speaking that he didn't know
this was Mewt's world. With that, Babus realizes all too well. His
group prepares for attack, and you should do the same.
With the addition to Marche, the game allows you to bring in five
more units for battle. The next rounds of battle will be quite
difficult, so make sure that the units you send in are powerful
enough to take out Babus along with the rest of his group. (If it is
required.) Start the battle, and begin.
Babus the Runeseeker can provide a bunch of problems. His job is
unique as you might already have noticed. His abilities are made up
of the R-Ability, Counter and some other abilities. Explode is a
heavy damage spell similar to the Sage's Giga Flare; Stillness
inflicts Stop status; and Quarter is the same as the Time Mage's
ability which takes out 1/4 of a particular unit's health.
Along with Babus, which will probably cause you the majority of
your problems here, you have two Templars, a Gunner, a Bishop, and
an Alchemist. Next to Babus in amount of difficulty would be both of
the "Temple Knights." One is armed with Rasp, a MP damaging attack,
Cheer which raises Attack statistics, Haste which is self-
explanatory, and the R-Ability, Bonecrusher. The other holds Astra
which automatically nullifies status ailments, Warcry which lowers
Speed, Cheer again; which raises Attack, and the S-Ability, Weapon
Atk+.
The Bishop is a rather flexible unit capable of dealing damage,
curing his own allies, and casting Dispel to get rid of all status
enhancements. How much you prioritize him is going to be your call,
but remember that as soon as soon as the Bishop is out, your enemy
will not be capable of healing without the help of items. The other
magic caster, an Alchemist, is much more offensive. You will want to
especially watch out for Flare or Frog.
Lastly, you will find a Moogle Gunner towards the rear. For the most
part, his abilities are simple, but Stopshot can become annoying,
especially with Concentrate as a S-Ability. You might find that
taking out the Gunner will help an amazing amount. Avoid Stopshot
or just Blind him to nullify Concentrate for hopefully, the future
majority of the battle.
The objective here is to defeat Babus and none other. Therefore,
unless of course you are looking to some experience, I'd suggest you
put all your emphasis on him. Then again, if you are sure you can't
win this battle without first taking out the other units, by all
means, treat this battle as a clan war.

Thundrake
Totema (Adrammelech)
For this next story mission, Marche enters the Nargai Cave in search
of this supposed "ghost." A small orb appears in front of Marche,
and his reaction is a bit puzzling. "Funny, here I am looking at a
ghost. But I don't feel scared at all." As strange as enigmas can
become, the ghost begins to move, and Marche follows. With his
guard off, the warp catches Marche...
As the screen fades back in, you find yourself in yet another temple
holding probably, another crystal. The ghost has disappeared, but
suddenly reappears. The crystal is up ahead, and the Totema makes
his way out. Absorbing the ghost, the Totema begins to speak of no
one but his masters may approach. Confident, Marche prepares himself
for a battle. Adrammalech prepares himself too, and brings in his
Dragon fiends.
This battle is a major step up from the two other "pushover" Totemas
you have fought in the past. If you had thought they were hard,
prepare to be obliterated. Bring in five more units (A White Mage or
similar would be smart), and begin the battle. Because the enemy
Dragons don't have terribly high Speed, you should be able to move
first.
Luckily, the Dragons here aren't anything you haven't seen already.
The only one which might remotely be a new appearance might be the
Thundrake. All three of them have elemental Breath attacks for their
respectable type (i.e. Firewyrm holds Fire Breath; Icedrake holds
Ice Breath; Thundrake holds Bolt Breath). This is basically the only
A-Abilities those Dragons hold with exception to the Icewyrm who can
also cast Mighty Guard on his allies. Geomancy ups Magic Power, and
Weapon Atk+ ups Weapon Attack obviously.
While the Dragons aren't too tough apart from their Attack power,
the Totema himself holds some pretty powerful abilities. Not only is
he the coolest looking Totema, hands down, but his Firestream attack
can become devastating. Remember Famfrit's Breath of God? Multiply
the damage by two, and give it some Fire elemental bonus damage to
create an A-Ability to be reckoned with. Lightspeed is a quick attack
nullifying R-Ability, and Howl of Rage lowers surrounding units
Speed. Finally, Soul Sphere hurts your MP so keep your mages safe.
The best thing to do would definitely be to inflict a few binding
status ailments on the initial Dragons. Disable, Immobilize, and
Blind all work wonders to keep them off your back. You shouldn't
need to be bothered by the Dragons, as all of your forces should be
plopped atop Adrammelech. There really isn't too much to explain
here, as all you need is a powerful physical strike to take out
this Bangaa Totema as quickly as possible.

Well, here we are; Jagd Dorsa. You should know already that if
anyone gets KOed here and you leave them on the ground, they are
dead. With that in mind, prepare yourself for a rather difficult
fight against Nono's enemy bandits.
Because of the Jagd threat here, you might want to bring in a
White Mage to revive in case your units happen to fall. Phoenix
Downs work well too. Make sure that the units you send in have high
Defense. Paladins or Defenders are perfect fitting for this
description. You will not want to be killed here, especially against
this hardcore group...
Your enemies consist of mostly clan units, but a few monsters as
well. Right in front of you at the start are a Ninja who holds
Metal Veil, Water Veil, and Double Sword which is allows him to hold
two swords in two hands for a double hit; a Blue Mage with Dragon
technique, Mighty Guard, Lamia technique, Night, Coeurl technique,
Hastebreak, and the Sprite's healing technique of White Wind. Along
with that, the Hunter boasts a solid Attack statistics and holds
Sonic Boom, Advice, and Aim: Vitals which inflicts a random status
ailment on you.
An Assassin appears to your left. She can become especially deadly
with her specialty A-Abilities. Shadowbind Stops a target in its
tracks by pinning shadow to the ground, Last Breath is an automatic
KO (Not good for a Jagd. Oh boy.), Aphonia is the standard Silence,
and Oblivion Addles the target disallowing them to use any A-
Abilities. Don't try any arrows at this mean chick unless you want
them returned at you.
The Antlion and Toughskin aren't too much of threats, but should
still be fought with caution. LV3 Def-less lowers Weapon Defense
and Magic Resistance to all units with levels divisible by three.
Sandstorm is the standard whirlwind attack which Blinds targets.
The Rockbeast doesn't have any new techniques. Still holding the
original Resonate and Matra Magic, you shouldn't have any trouble
with it.
You should try to kill off the Assassin and Ninja right off the
bat. The Assassin has terribly effective A-Abilities, and the Ninja
can unleash his hurt with Double Sword. Watch out for Last Breath
especially, as it automatically KOs, and if that unit isn't revived,
it's basically lights out for that member. The Hunter should be
prioritized if you want to avoid random status ailments, and the
Blue Mage should also be taken out quickly. This battle is tough,
so don't fret if you mess up a few times. After all, this is your
first Jagd battle.

world map. As soon as you enter the battlefield, you will appear
before Clan Ox. There's no hostility at first, but one of the grunts
notes that this Marche fellow looks incredibly alike to that bounty.
But guess what! It's you they are looking for!
Of all the possibilities, you just had to accept this mission to
actually help Clan Ox find you. Heh, since we aren't about to let
ourselves be turned in, we'll fight our way out. Hopefully, you had
brought in a healing unit as this clan isn't your ordinary pushover.
Ranged attackers work well too.
Your enemies consist of a Sage, a Paladin, a Fighter, a Red Mage,
a Time Mage, and a Black Mage... phew. From past experience, you
might expect the Paladin to be the main figure of difficulty here.
Although his Attack power is fairly high, he lacks in abilities with
only Saint Cross and Drop Weapon. He is also capable of healing, but
barely ever uses that ability.
In terms of physical damage, the Fighter might pose a threat. A few
standard Fighter abilities as well as a high Weapon Attack, you
can't go wrong tackling him out first. In terms of actual damage,
the Black Mage easily cuts that mark. His Magic Power lies in the
200s, and his abilities consist of some standard techniques. Much
of the time, one of them will be an "-aga" ability. If you are
unfamiliar with that suffix, just know it is the most powerful of
the elemental spells a Black Mage can throw at you.
Sages normally pose problems, but not this one. Just be thankful
this one doesn't hold Giga Flare. Reflex negates all Fight moves
as you might already know, so be sure you actually have some other
abilities which can damage the Sage. The Red Mage is laughable
considering the fact that she doesn't hold Doublecast, and her Magic
Power is second-rate. Finally, the Time Mage can pose some threats.
You do not want him to cast Quicken on the Fighter right after he
damaged your units already. Quick KOs for the enemy.
You will want to Disable the Fighter and Paladin quickly. Following,
you can choose to Silence everyone else. It would be smart to bring
in a utility unit to do all those status ailments, followed by your
physical and magical attackers, followed by a healing unit. If you
can set up an attack, you should be fine. However, if you just rush
in without any strategy, you probably won't last that long. This
isn't a difficult battle considering it is a story battle, so you
should be fine.

Marche enters the area as he always does and notices Shara coming
out from a corner. Ritz also appears right behind you, and the two
of you greet. Marche asks Ritz if she know of the bounty on Marche's
head; Ritz responds and tells Marche she would never turn him in.
They are here instead, for some other business...
Ritz runs up and calls the Golden Clock forgers out. Yep, you
guessed it, it's another battle alongside Ritz. Judging from past
experience, this battle should be fairly easy considering that you
have Ritz and Shara on your side, not to mention that you are up
against only four competitors. Bring in three extra units and start
the battle.
Your enemies consist of an Alchemist, a Juggler, a Time Mage, and
a Gadgeteer. The Alchemist holds Meteor which rains a large rock
on your units for heavy damage, Poison which... well... Poisons of
course, and Toad which turns the target into a Frog. Whee...!
Alongside, you see a Juggler with Hurl which throws an item,
Firebomb which damages and Berserks, and Ball which Confuses.
The Time Mage can become dangerous if you aren't careful. Demi is
extremely effective against those with high HP, and Quicken gives a
free turn to the unit of choice. Also, Slow and Stop are two
annoying status ailments you will want to avoid at all costs unless
you like to lose turns.
Finally, the Gadgeteer is as unpredictable as it is effective.
Red Spring casts Haste on a random side at the flip of a coin (Just
hope that's you), Blue Screw casts Dispel on a random side at
another flip of a coin (Just hope that isn't you), and Green Gear
Poisons either side (Again, just hope that isn't you). Also,
Damage > MP will make striking this Gadgeteer down a trifle
difficult.
Without Ritz or Shara, this battle might have caused some problems.
But because both of your allies are at such high levels with
effective abilities, you should barely even break a sweat. However,
just remember that Ritz and Shara can be KOed, and that's when you
better do something, or face defeat. You can be a bit laid back here,
but don't let your guard down.

As you enter Muscadet, an engagement is about to occur. Marche and
Montblanc appear in the area and witness some Judges and officers of
the law bringing in random units for questioning. A particular
argument between a Moogle and a Judge will appear on-screen. The
Moogle will ask why he is to be brought in, and Judge responds with
that the human they are looking for has been seen with a Moogle.
Unable to take this injustice, Marche runs in...
The first thing he does is exclaim that he is the one Prince Mewt
is looking for. While the Judge is a bit disbelieving, he still
brings in units to capture this supposed boy. Units begin to move
in, and you will note that you are a bit outnumbered. Bring in three
extra units with addition to Marche and Montblanc and begin the
battle with the odds of 5 vs. 7 stacked against you.
Your enemies consist of some powerful units, but the most dangerous
of them all would be the Paladin or the two Templars. If you care
to steal anything, you will definitely want the Dragon Mail or
Genji Armor. The first enemy unit to move will probably be the enemy
Paladin or either Mog Knight, but if you brought in swift units,
you should be able to move first for the most part.
The two Templars are dangerous with both of them holding the
R-Ability, Bonecrusher. In addition, both Templars can terrorize
you with Astra, Warcry, Rasp, Haste, and Lifebreak which can deal
incredible damage when you knock off a lot of that Templar's HP.
The second most dangerous, the Paladin lacks in numbers of abilities,
but don't let that get your guard off. Holy Blade does incredible
damage, and Drop Weapon can become annoying.
Also included are two Mog Knights, a Gunner, and a Sage. The Mog
Knights are pretty much standard issue and shouldn't provide much
problems with only Mog Attack, Mog Guard, Mog Rush, Mog Lance, Mog
Shield, and Mog Aid. By now, you should already have many ways to
counter-act these kind of abilities. The Sage is almost laughable
with only Drain, Aero, and Bio. Finally, the Gunner isn't dangerous
as it hasn't learned Concentrate.
At the beginning, begin Disabling and/or Immobilizing the Templar
and Bishop immediately. Using status ailments can easily turn the
tide of battle with you. Following, you will want to Blind the
Gunner. Deal with the opponents as you see fit, but you should try
to set up an attack which you know won't fail before you attempt
something rash.
But the battle isn't over just yet...
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies: Avatar x8 (Exodus Fruit)
Runeseeker (Babus)
Afterwards, Judgemaster Cid appears on the scene, and begins to
question you. Pretty sure that the boy is the boy, Cid brings him
to the prison. There, Babus will run in and confirm that the boy is
indeed Marche. Now that they know, Marche demands that Judgemaster
Cid let the others go. Cid will ask Marche if he is the one
destroying the crystals. Marche confirms, and a seam appears
mysteriously. Somehow...
The fourth crystal is weak... But you have no access to your clan
as of now. Babus and Cid are also in the area, and they aren't about
to let you destroy these crystals in which they had so willingly
defended. You guessed it, it's another fight with Runeseeker Babus,
and this time, he's even tougher. The only opposition you will
receive here is from Babus. The Totema is weak, and it can't attack.
Since Cid is a Judgemaster (obviously), he will play as Judge to
make sure the Laws are enforced. Babus is no laughing matter
however. This battle is a one vs. one... Babus vs. Marche.
Babus's abilities consist of Explode, a deadly Fire elemental move,
Stillness, which Stops Marche right in his tracks, and Demi which
cuts off half of your HP right off the bat. In addition, Counter
and Weapon Def+ makes him even more of an adversary. The key here
is to avoid his first move, and follow-up with a heavy damage move
which you should have at this point for a physical character as
Marche. Holy Blade or Beatdown would work. However, if you don't
have access to them, you might have to pick away at Babus's health
continuously and use X-Potions constantly. Defeat Babus and the
Fruits to win.

Fighter x2
You all know how I start these story battle things right? "As Marche
enters the area, he will note... blah blah blah blah." Well, for this
battle, Marche won't enter the area at first. Therefore, you won't
hear me say that. Instead, the camera brings you to the battlefield
and a small conversation between our would be competitors. The
Fighters hints something about a kid and late. Perhaps an ambush?
A scout Thief walks in and states that their "pot of gold" is here
now.
Guess who walks in? Why, if it wouldn't be yours truly, Marche.
Seeing as he's just been ambushed by a group of six enemies, Marche
doesn't appear too surprised. Just a simple, "Huh?" Anyhow, prepare
for another battle. Bring in five extra well-rounded units and
prepare yourself for battle once again. You know the drill by now,
don't you?
Look at your enemies and you will notice that their line-up is
pretty simple with two Fighters, two Thieves, and two Bishops.
Provide that you actually care to know what abilities to avoid, I'll
tell you that you really want to watch out for Strikeback. Don't
make stupid moves when you are already sure that it will miss, and
you will probably get a nice thwack in the head for your imbecile
move. The same goes for Bonecrusher, but there are a few ways around
it.
The opponent's Fighter abilities consist of Rush, Air Render, Far
Fist, Wild Swing, Beatdown, and Blitz. If you were wondering if
both Fighters hold all those abilities, the answer is luckily, no.
They are split up between them. Therefore, if you take out Fighter
#1 who has Wild Swing, Far Fist, and Beatdown, you won't have to
worry about those moves for the rest of the mission unless Fighter
#1 happens to revive magically.
The Thieves can provide some problems. Both of them hold Steal:
Weapon, which obviously, steals your weapon. You might want to watch
out especially. Even worse, Steal: Ability literally "steals" one
of your abilities. Therefore, you might find it smart to Disable or
Immobilize the Thieves from afar. Apart from that, you won't see
too much damage nor annoyance from them. Just don't let your rare
weapons get stolen.
The remaining opposition consists of two Bishops. Lucky for you,
they aren't the most powerful magic casters you might find. Water
and Aero do mediocre damage, and Holy might be the largest damage
dealer even though it doesn't do THAT high of damage either way.
Also, Bishops are capable of using Cura in this mission and Judge
steals your JP.
Concern yourself with the Thieves at first. Once the chances of
getting weapons stolen is at 0% (In short, just KO both Thieves),
you can focus on the Fighters which are probably attacking your
units like mad at that point. The Bishops won't provide too much
problem, so you might want to leave them for last unless you have
a masterful plan of your own. Defeat all enemies and win the
mission.

As you enter Gotor Sands for the Desert Patrol mission, Marche
notices a certain person... that looks a bit familiar. Walking a
bit closer, he realizes that it's Doned. Marche is instantly
happy to see his brother, but Doned remains silent, and runs away.
Marche follows and to his surprise, sees Doned talking with another
group. But even as dumbfounded as he might be, Marche realized
that his brother had just turned him in for a bounty. Just what
is going on?
The palace still wants your head, and as obvious, this enemy clan
has come to challenge you. They were notified of your whereabouts
by a certain someone. There's nothing else to do but to fight our
way out of this trap. Bring in six units to go against this enemy
group and start the battle. Your foe this time is made up of Bangaa
and Humans. You will probably notice, that with exception to the
Bishop, your enemies are all physical. Try to bring in some magic
casting units that have moderate Weapon Defense like Morphers or
Sages to counteract their Weapon Attacks, and work upon their
weaker Magic Resistance.
The White Monk in the front has a bunch of techniques up his
alley. Whirlwind damages surrounding units, Air Render is a ranged
attack, Earth Render deals damage to ALL units in front of him,
and Far Fist deals ranged splash-damage. Luckily, his Weapon Attack
is fairly low so don't expect too much from a simple Fight move.
Behind him is a Gladiator holding the elemental "Spellblade"
techniques which include Fire Sword, Bolt Sword, and Ice Sword.
They should be pretty self-explanatory.
Two Soldiers make up the Humans of this enemy group. The one closer
to you at the start holds a few standard "Break" attacks including
Powerbreak, Mindbreak, and Magicbreak. Provoke Berserks your units
so be careful. The other Soldier is less of a threat. Luckily, he
only can use Powerbreak, Mindbreak, and Speedbreak. Mug deals
damage but steals Gil at the same time. However, that shouldn't be
too much of a problem to you.
Right smack-dab in the center is the Defender. Although his Weapon
Attack and Defense can be intimidating, his abilities are nothing
to be afraid of. Tremor pushes back all surrounding units, Drop
Weapon drops your units' weapons, and Mow Down damages all
surrounding units, but causes the Defender to lose all his Evade
for the entire next turn. The Dragoon has even higher Weapon Attack
and his abilities can become particularly exasperating. Lancet
drains HP, Fire and Bolt Breath are obvious.
The magic-casting unit of this battle is the Bishop in the front.
Luckily, he doesn't pose much of a threat compared to the other
units. Water is really the only damaging spell he holds. Dispel
clears all status enhancements and Break inflicts Petrify on your
units. Keep in careful mind that once the Bishop is defeated, your
opponent will have no means of healing apart from having to use
items.
I always prefer to take out the magic-caster, seeing as once he's
down and out, the battle will move much quicker. Therefore, your
opponent must rely on physical strength to overcome you. Since for
the most part, Weapon Defense is higher than Magic Resistance for
this enemy group, magic spells work wonders. Watch out for the
Bishop's Return Magic however. As you progress through the battle,
it will become easier and easier until you win.

Biskmatar (Llednar)
The Delia Dunes have stopped barking. Enter the area and Marche will
complain about the lack of sound. As he is about to walk out however,
a certain Llednar happens to waltz in. Marche has never seen this
monster before so he is a bit confused. With a simple, yet powerful
order, Llednar tells Marche to get out of here. Just before Llednar
pushes him out, a seam opens...
Yes, here it is. The fifth and final crystal is just up ahead. The
Llednar dude is nowhere in sight however. Quietly, Marche disregards
him and continues. Just up ahead, to Marche's great dismay, is the
strange man again. With another order, Llednar orders you to go no
further. With a final blow, Llednar attempts to put Marche in his
place...
Suddenly, a commanding voice streaks through the air. Judgemaster
Cid has just appeared in the nick of time to stop Llednar and his
deadly intentions. With an antilaw, the Judgemaster places a law on
Llednar's most powerful attack, Omega. Disabled, Llednar continues
to fight, and Marche chooses to stay. Prepare yourself... against
Biskmatar Llednar.
While Llednar summons two Templars and two Titanias, you should
send in five units of your own. The Templars are both formidable
opponents. With heavy Weapon Attack, they can easily chop through
your units like a butter knife through butter. If you bring in
any Mages, watch out for Silence, and their MP damaging attacks,
Soul Sphere and Rasp. Astra is a special status enhancement that
automatically nullifies the first status ailment against that unit.
Lifebreak deals lost HP in damage, and Warcry lowers Speed of all
surrounding units.
The two Titanias aren't as dangerous in terms of Weapon Attack, but
LV?D Holy will still pose problems. If the day of month matches your
unit's level, prepare for some heavy Holy damage against you. Angel
Whisper both heals HP and casts Auto-Life on one of their allies.
The last of the units, Llednar himself, is no pushover. He holds
incredible Weapon Attack. Even without Omega, he is a major problem.
First off, his lineup of abilities is very deadly. Abyss acts like
a Sage's Bio, damaging and Poisoning at the same time. Life Render
deals damage and Dooms Llednar's targets. Heart Render deals MP
damage. Ripcircle acts by damaging all surrounding units. And
finally, Furycircle deals damage to all surrounding units as well
as knocking them back. However, if you attempt to damage Llednar,
you will find that no matter what you use, Llednar cannot be killed.
Therefore, it is impossible to defeat the boss. Luckily, there is a
way to win out. Wait out the battle by defeating Llednar's allies,
and Cid will eventually banish Llednar with a Red Card. With that
freak gone, Marche may continue. To his great dismay however, the
Totema itself still awaits.
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies: Vampire x4
Totema (Mateus)
With Llednar defeated for the time being, the final crystal awaits.
As a precaution, Judgemaster Cid asks if Marche would like to leave.
Knowing his destiny, Marche rightfully declines. Leading him into
the final room, Cid states that the final crystal is here. The
Totema appears as expected, the Totema of the Humans. Mateus will
suddenly turn into Ritz, then Doned, then Mewt, and then Marche
himself. Knowing that this is just a mind-trick, Marche disregards
it. The fight will begin.
The four figures will turn into four Vampires. Mateus herself
appears in the center. Seeing as this is the toughest of the
Totemas, take necessary precautions with the units you choose to
send in. I would strongly suggest a White Mage against the Vampires
and very strong physical attackers.
Mateus has summoned four Vampires to help her out. They are very
dangerous and can prove quite a bit of exasperation. Although the
abilities vary from Vampire to Vampire, you will especially want to
watch out for LV? S-Flare which deals damage to all units with the
same one's digit as them. Zombify turns your allies into Zombies,
and Miasma inflicts damage and possible Poison status.
Mateus herself is quite a difficulty. With HP in the 400s, she
obviously won't be too easy to take down. Weapon Attack is actually
in 400s as well! With a single strike, she can easily KO weaker
units. Spellbind is an ability that damages and Slows. Breath of God
is a heavy damage radius attack. Star Cross is the same as the
Illusionist ability damaging all units with Holy damage. Thundaga
is fairly self-explanatory.
Before actually sending in your units, I would suggest using a
White Mage to cast Protect and Shell on them. Therefore, they have
a higher chance of surviving Mateus' damaging attacks. If you really
want to win, I would suggest bypassing the Vampires altogether.
Blind them or Disable them to make them useless and begin going gun-
ho at Mateus. There really is no trick. To defeat this Totema, you
are going to need to be a bit more diligent. Good luck.

Marche has successfully located a bit of Materite in the Materiwood.
As so far, no opposition has been encountered so from here on, it's
smooth sailing. However, from his rear, Marche notices a clan of
Viera bandits. How could they have known he was here? The streetear
of course was Doned. Nothing we can do now but engage.
Six units should be brought in. You might want to work for units
that are carrying items making them immune to status ailments; you
should especially prioritize instant KO. The Assassin is bound to
give you a few problems with that. Shadowbind and Last Breath are
the two that you should avoid as best as possible. Shadowbind Stops
units right in their tracks and Last Breath deals an instant KO.
That is not something you want happening.
The ranged Sniper will also provide a bunch of problems. Aim: Armor,
Aim: Weapon, and Aim: Wallet destroys the item that they obviously
shoot at. Once a weapon is destroyed, it cannot be used again which
makes Aim: Weapon especially annoying if your unit is carrying a
rare weapon. If you are going to knock the Sniper into critical HP,
be sure that you avoid Doom Archer which deals the lost HP into
offensive damage. The move also affects MP. Either KO her within one
turn or Disable her one way or another.
The rest of this Viera group consists of magic-casters. The
Elementalist, capable of using Spirit Magic, will be a major problem
for you. Unless you use a Status law card, prepare to fall to her
various "Elemental damage + Status ailment" spells. Shining Air
deals Wind damage and Blind at the same time. Evil Gaze deals Dark
damage and can Confuse. Heavy Dust is a Earth spell that Immobilizes
and finally, Sliprain deals Water elemental damage and Slows targets
down.
Behind her, the Red Mage reigns supreme as the Doublecasting maniac.
Doublecast allows her to send out two spells in one, single turn.
However, you can rid her of that ability by simply stealing her
Madu (Rapier). Because she hasn't mastered Doublecast, stealing her
weapon will prevent her from using an unmastered ability. Even
with Doublecast however, the Red Mage still won't pose much of a
threat with Fire, Thunder, Sleep, and Poison. KO her whichever way
you choose.
The Viera Summoner is your standard, generic enemy. Remember that
Summon spells have a much larger radius of effect than normal
spells. All spells will affect units two tiles out horizontally and
vertically and one tile diagonally on each corner. If you group your
units together, your Summoner will wreak havoc. Make sure she
doesn't take the best of you. Madeen, dealing heavy Holy damage,
will be very hard to recover from. And finally, the White Mage has
four simple yet powerful spells. Curaga cures HP, Esuna heals
status, Auto-Life revives to full HP, and Shell protects from
harmful magic spells.
The way you choose to tackle this battle is your choice. I always
like to take down the Assassin first followed by the White Mage.
Without the White Mage, your enemy team is incapable of reviving
fallen allies as well as becoming very lacking in the ability to
heal. The Assassin should be taken down early just to avoid her
annoying techniques. As a possible strategy, group all your enemies
by the cliff in the northwest corner and push them off for heavy
damage and of course, lots of laughs.

Despite the "run-in" with Doned, Marche and Montblanc were still
able to get Nono to make them a legitimate gift in time for Present
Day. At the start, Montblanc will comfort Marche on the fact that
the palace won't even recognize him. Walking a bit forward, the two
of them enter the palace... Nono's gift, the "Lugaborg" is sure to
get them in.
In the palace waiting room, Marche begins to complain about the
waiting time. Everyone else has already gone. Montblanc responds
suggesting that something may be... wrong? If there was some kind
of trouble, then the two of them were in deep waters indeed. Behind
them, a door opened and a group of palace guards enter. It seems
that they've figured out who you are. A tip from a concerned citizen
was their lead; the concerned citizen obviously being Doned.
This battle may be a bit problematic because of the tiny size of
the arena (Heck, we are fighting in the palace waiting room).
Luckily, the opposition has the same problem as well. If you bring
in a Summoner, you can probably expect your enemies to be grouped
up together. When they do just that, give them a full-powered taste
of magic. Because of the lack of space, magic units would do very
well. However, be sure to not group up your units either or you
might be forced to make sacrifices.
Leading the offensive, the Bangaa Templar is nightmarishly strong.
He excels at Weapon Attack and Weapon Defense so you might want to
Disable him before he gets too far. Because of Bonecrusher which
counter-attacks with an added 1.5x to Weapon Attack, avoid close-
range attacks. Ability-wise, Astra nullifies the first status
ailment against an unit, Warcry lowers Speed of surrounding units,
Rasp deals MP damage, and Haste speeds an unit up.
The two Gladiators can be dealt with much quicker, but their Weapon
Attack are really high. The elemental "Spellblade" attacks will be
sure to pose some problems for your units. The standard Rush,
Beatdown, and Blitz abilities make their appearance as well. Do
take precautions when using the Fight move at close range. The
Reaction Ability, Strikeback, will nullify the incoming attack at
weapon range as well as following up with an attack of their own.
With Weapon Attack in the 340s, you will by all means want to avoid
that.
The only Moogle here plays his role as a Mog Knight. Mog Attack
pushes units back one tile while damaging, Mog Lance is a ranged
attack, Mog Rush is a generic high-powered and low-accuracy attack,
Mog Shield helps defend by casting Protect and Shell on himself,
and Mog Aid heals HP. However, although Mog Knights are normally
dangerous, the lack of Reaction Ability or Ultima Charge makes this
Moogle a bit less threatening. Nonetheless, take necessary pre-
cautions and watch it.
The only magic-caster plays an Alchemist job set. You will want to
especially watch out for Death, which will deal an instant KO.
However, if you notice that Death has not been mastered yet, know
that if the Life Crosier is stolen, the enemy Alchemist will have
no access to that move. Use that to your advantage. Other abilities
consist of Flare which deals heavy damage, Poison which of course,
Poisons, and Toad which inflicts Frog status on an enemy unit.
As stated before, magic-casters or radius-damage attacks work very
well in such a small arena. The Templar will most likely play the
battle by casting Haste on his allies. The three Bangaas are the
ones you want to watch out for. All three have very high Weapon
Attack which can be devastating to the magic unit lacking in Weapon
Defense. Once those three are out of the way however, the remaining
portion of the battle is a cakewalk.
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies: Biskmatar (Llednar)
With the initial opposition defeated, more guards begin to run in.
By now, it seems as if getting through would be impossible.
Suddenly, Mewt's Nu Mou servant, Babus, appears. Instead of going
against you however, Babus Stops the guards right in their tracks.
Confused by this sudden change of position, Marche asks Babus why
he's helping him. Responding, the Nu Mou states that he wishes to
know more about what is going on with these "worlds."
Babus soon warps you to the Prince's throne room. Mewt is pacing
along. Babus brings Marche up, and Mewt is instantly angry to see
him. Knowing he hasn't got much time, Marche tries to reason with
Mewt as quickly as possible. Mewt realizes that even Babus is now
against him. Before Mewt could be changed, Remedi warps in to
comfort him. However, Mewt is taken away... and Marche is left with
nothing...
To add insult to injury, Llednar has been summoned to rid the palace
of this presence. Babus agrees to help, but Marche tells him to
try to trace where Mewt and the Queen had gone. However, as of now,
Marche must engage with Llednar... You should notice that the
barrier protecting Llednar from damage is still active. Therefore,
the objective is not to win, but to SURVIVE. The amount of turns
required is five, but that won't be easy.
The main difficulty with this mission is the fact that Llednar
will most likely take the first turn. However, if you leveled up
Marche as a Thief or a Ninja, you might prevail and take the first
turn. If you aren't faster, then pray that Llednar doesn't use
Omega. If he lands that, the battle is already over. Use your turns
wisely by running away from Llednar every single turn. In order for
Llednar to use Omega, he has to be right next to you.
Therefore, I recommend that for your first turn (If you survived),
you run in the opposite direction. Therefore, Biskmatar Llednar will
be forced to use Abyss which Poisons and damages. However, that is
easily solved with Potions. Spend five turns running away from
Llednar if you want to win. In the end, the Judgemaster will make
his presence, and the battle is over...

Now that we're out mythril hunting, Doned will be sure to try to
interfere again. Marche walks into the Tubola Cave area pretending
to be searching for mythril. A voice splits the area. "Stop! Thief!"
Marche is dumbfounded. The enemy group states that Marche is
stealing their mythril. Apparently, Doned has turned him in...
again! Surrounded, Marche has no other options but to engage.
When you bring in your units, be sure that you position them so
they can take attacks from both sides. With three units on one side
and three units on the other, your position is flanked. The first
of your opponents to move would most likely be the Moogle Juggler.
The Knife that he holds is one of the strongest in this game. You
can easily disable his Weapon Attack by simply stealing it. Watch
out for Dagger which damages and Disables. Firebomb can be annoying
as it Berserks and damages while Smile automatically gives one of
allies the next turn.
The Sage will become a pit of many of your problems. Giga Flare is
one of the most powerful magic spells a Nu Mou has to offer. This
move is also second to Ultima Blow in terms of damage. If you group
your units together, Giga Flare can affect all of them as it is
capable of dealing damage to multiple units. The last unit on the
east side is a Mog Knight. Mog Guard is used to guard himself. Mog
Rush deals heavy damage at the cost of lowered accuracy, Mog Shield
automatically nullifies one status ailment, Mog Peek detects hidden
items, and Mog Aid heals HP and status.
A Bangaa White Monk leads an offensive to the west. Earth Render
can damage all units directly in front of that unit. It can be
devastating if you don't watch your unit placement. The White Monk
is also capable of reviving fallen allies with Revive. Next on the
list is the Moogle Animist. You should avoid Tail Wag, a Charming
move, and Friend, a completely wildcard ability with unpredictable
results. Finally, the Blue Mage finishes off the set with various
Blue Magic techniques. Twister cuts off 1/2 HP right off the bat.
Bad Breath will deal multiple status ailments. Roulette KOs a random
unit on the field. And White Wind will heal the amount of HP he has
remaining.
This battle isn't that tough. The only real problematic units would
be the Sage or the Blue Mage. The latter can wreak havoc with Bad
Breath and Roulette. However, ban Color Magic with a law card and
his abilities go down the drain. Likewise, ban Skills and the Sage
is disabled in terms of using his Sagacity Skill. Overall, this
story mission is nothing tough. What is soon to come however, will
be.

Jawbreaker
Big Malboro
On our way to the Deti Plains, Marche comes across a group of
monsters in his path. What comes next should be drilled in your
head by now. Bring in another five units in addition to Marche
himself. Before we can find Judgemaster Cid, we are going to have
to take care of this monster threat first. Cid hasn't arrived yet
so take your time. As a story mission, you can already expect these
monsters to be a bit tougher than some normal engagement.
The nearest target, a Coeurl stands valiantly. Blaster is his only
technique, but each casting will Petrify an unit. Being a ranged
ability, keeping your units away won't always help. Therefore, I'd
suggest taking it down before a chance to use it is taken. Even so,
its Weapon Attack power is fairly high. Ridding the battlefield of
the Coeurl first will make advancing through the arena much easier
as there won't be any opposition blocking the front-lower area.
I normally get stuck up at bottom where the waterfall hits the
edge of the map. Usually, if you take down the Coeurl, you can avoid
any pre-battle traffic jams. However, you might still find that the
Jawbreaker attempts to impede your path very often. If any of your
units have levels divisible by three or five, watch out for LV3 Def-
less and LV5 Death. The latter provides instant death to all units
with levels divisible by five and LV3 Def-less lowers the Defense
and Resistance of all units with levels divisible by three. Even
worse, they both have a 100% chance of hitting if the levels pertain
correctly.
By this point, you should be nearing the west side of the arena and
beginning to climb the steps up to the higher level. The Big Malboro
will be a nuisance with Bad Breath. In short, it is capable of
inflicting a large number of status ailments on you with one cast.
Soundwave is less of a problem as it only Dispels any status
enhancements. Further up, a Lilith reigns supreme. Avoid being
caught at distances with Twister. Poison Frog inflicts Poison and
Frog status while Kiss inflicts Doom and Charm.
I always prefer to take this battle on in order. The monsters aren't
too smart and usually stick to their area. If you take out the
monsters as they come, the battle will flow through. Unless you
are wearing Galmia Shoes (In which you can just jump up the cliff),
you will need to transcend through the path anyway. You should end
at the Thundrake. If you have retained most of your units while
pushing through, it will fall easily despite holding Bolt Breath and
Geomancy.

Sniper (Shara)
Red Mage (Ritz)
Our last stop before we head off to Ambervale is Siena Gorge. There,
we are to find some amber for Judgemaster Cid to create the antilaw
he needs. Entering the Siena Gorge, a pink-haired girl stands
valiantly at the top of a large pass. Laughing for a second, Ritz
is positioned with her clan. Next to her is Shara. With a sense of
confidence, Ritz states that when Marche might be engaging them,
it just seems kind of funny.
A surprising turn of events, huh? Ritz had never wanted to go back
home, so this battle was sure to come eventually. Marche enters and
realizes what is about to commence. For the next engagement, they
are no longer acquaintances. Marche is going over that hill. Ritz
however, will use all her power to stop that. Knowing that she won't
give up now, Marche prepares to engage. Bring in five additional
units and the epic battle between Marche and Ritz will begin.
We had never battled Ritz and her clan before, so this might be
something new. Ritz's clan consists of Viera only. She does well
with a good balance between magic and physical units. You should do
the same. At the start of the battle, climb up the hill to meet
Clan Ritz at the edge. Try not to move further onto the wooden
bridge as traffic jams will be sure to start there. Instead, stay
back and let Ritz come to you.
Now that you are in a good position to start your offensive from,
begin to build up your units and prepare to attack. The first of
Clan Ritz to most likely move would be the Assassin. With 200 points
in Speed, she can move pretty fast. Even so, the Ninja Tabi allows
her to move 6 tiles which can become pretty threatening. Do not let
her get behind you and use Last Breath. Aphonia is only dangerous to
magic units as it Silences and Rockseal can Petrify units into
stone. Oblivion works by Addling a target.
The Fencer has mediocre Weapon Attack for a physical unit. Luckily,
she is fairly lacking in abilities. Swallowtail damages surrounding
units, Piercethrough works like a Spear-jab by dealing damage to
two units directly in front of her, and Nighthawk is a ranged
attack. Of the magic-casters, the Summoner will be sure to pose a
few problems with her Summon spells. Madeen will deal incredible
Holy damage. Also, her castings can deal damage to all units two
tiles away and one tile diagonally from the center of damage. Don't
group your units together and her spells will be less devastating.
Taking up a particularly problematic position, the Elementalist
will be sure to get in your way. Because all of her techniques have
status ailments connected (With exception to White Flame), you will
not only be struck by magic, but also inflicted with certain status
ailments. Fire Whip deals Fire damage and can also Disable an unit.
Shining Air will deal Wind damage along with Blinding a target.
Heavy Dust deals Earth damage with a chance of Immobilizing. Beware
of the Elementalshift as well. Once through, you might be taking
heavy damage because of taking elemental weaknesses that
Elementalshift exploited.
Ritz's right-hand man (or in this case, Viera) is apparent as a
Sniper. Her Weapon Attack is high enough to prove a difficulty.
Even so, her abilities are ones to watch out for. I'd mostly
recommend banning Missile attacks altogether (Law Card). However,
if that can't possibly apply to you, I'd suggest you take her
down fast. Death Sickle will inflict Doom status from far away. Doom
Archer deals lost HP in damage against. Aim: Weapon and Aim: Armor
will destroy the selected item. The last two should be taken with
caution if you are wearing or wielding any valuable weaponry or
clothing.
Finally, the boss herself plays a role as a Red Mage. Ritz is no
easy matter to overcome. Her Weapon Attack is mediocre, but you will
hardly see her actually using Fight moves. As a Red Mage, it is
true that Doublecast is apparent. With it, she can cast Fire,
Thunder, or Blizzard against you for offensive damage. Magic Pow+
boosts the Magic Power and therefore makes each hit hurt. Be wary
of "Sleep + Offensive Magic" combos as well. Being put to Sleep
can make a unit vulnerable to spells right off the bat. Simply
Silencing her wouldn't work as Ribbon nullifies all status ailments.
Not good.
The main objective is defeating Ritz. Being at the front of the
group, that objective is easily accomplished if you just feel like
rushing through the mission. While you fight however, I'd suggest
you Steal some of the items around. Max's Oathbow, SeventhHeaven,
and Ritz's Femme Fatale are all very useful items to take. Defeat
Ritz to take her down. The pass... is now clear.

Biskmatar (Llednar)
Finally, after many obstacles, we find ourselves in the final
chapters... Ambervale... the Royal Valley. As Marche is led into
the area, he denotes the beauty of this palace. Judgemaster Cid has
located Mewt to this position. As the two walk forward, the music
stops as they discover Babus lying unconscious on the ground. An
unknown voice states the fact that he isn't dead... yet.
Llednar again. As always, he is here for trouble. Not letting you
pass, Cid pulls out a special Law Card. With the cast, all Laws
protecting Llednar are nullified. The invincible barrier surrounding
Llednar will break. Now vulnerable to attack, the Biskmatar still
fights. Bringing in his units, the battle will begin. This time
however, you won't be running away from Llednar. Now, you must fight
him... and thus, defeat him. You have the option of sending in three
units of your choice. Unless you want to take Llednar on
singlehandedly, I'd suggest you take advantage of that. A White Mage
will be very logical for the incoming fight.
The Biskmatar's group consists of a Ninja, a Gunner, an Assassin,
an Alchemist, and an Illusionist. The first three are the main
difficulty. The Ninja is capable of using Double Sword. From past
experience, you know that two high-powered Katanas against you will
generate a lot of hurt. Along with that, watch out for his ranged
"Veil" attacks. Fire Veil deals Fire elemental damage and will
Confuse an unit. Earth Veil uses Earth elemental damage and can
Slow a target. Water Veil deals Water damage and will Silence a
target. Finally, Oblivion inflicts Addle status on an enemy which
disallows them to use Action Abilities.
The Moogle Gunner is sure to pose some problems. His ability line-up
consists of Charmshot, Blindshot, Silenshot, and Stopshot. Luckily,
he doesn't have Concentrate so he can easily be counteracted by
Blinding him. The nearby Assassin can be particularly dangerous
using her Corner techniques. Take caution and watch out for
Nightmare and Rockseal. No Last Breath makes her much less
dangerous. Even so, her abilities will give you many problems if you
aren't careful.
The two magic-casters of this group are an Illusionist and an
Alchemist. The latter of the two is capable of instant KO with
Death along with heavy damage through Flare. Toad should also be
taken with caution as it turns his target into a Frog. The
Illusionist is a master of Phantasm Magic. Included are Prominence
which deals Fire damage to all units, Tempest which deals Lightning
damage to all units, Stardust which rains meteors down on all units,
Soil Evidence which deals Earth damage to every unit, and Wild
Tornado which initiates Wind damage on all units.
Finally, Biskmatar Llednar plays a role as the boss. Now that he
can be hurt, you should no longer run from him. (Remember the
Present Day battle?) Wielded are a few useful items. Excalibur is
a high-powered Knightsword and Peytral is a rare piece of Armor.
Ability-wise, there's nothing stopping Llednar from using Omega
now. Heavy damage will most likely KO your units within a single
strike. Do your best to avoid that. Life Render will damage and
Doom. Don't try to surround him either as Furycircle will just
push them all back.
This battle is over once Llednar is defeated. Go gun-ho against him
and he'll fall beneath your blade. Without his barrier, he will be
vulnerable to defeat. With that, he crumbles and shall live no
more...
Difficulty: Hard
Enemies: Battle Queen (Queen Remedi)
Dephs x2 (Famfrit/Adrammelech)
It turns out that Babus was really just knocked out. Marche succeeds
in waking him up luckily. The first thing he asks is where the
Prince is. We still hadn't gone inside yet so we couldn't have
completed our task yet. Babus cannot fight anymore. He stays behind
while both Marche and Cid venture inside the chapel. Once inside,
the two of them meet Remedi. With that, she reinforces the fact that
this world is still an illusion. At the same time, Marche demands to
know where Mewt is. The Queen then states that even Marche isn't
ready to let this world go. Being the moral person he is, Marche
admits to liking this world. However, it isn't real. Mewt's voice
booms through the air. Suddenly, he appears in the hand of the
statue ahead. Mewt still doesn't want to leave...
Now Queen Remedi is obligated to use any means necessary in order
to extract Marche from this area. With that, she transforms into
Battle Queen mode and summons two Dephs, her own creatures of
incredible power. Prepare to fight Battle Queen Remedi and her two
creations, a resurrection of Famfrit and Adrammelech. They still
have their own tricks up their sleeve. If you ever want to go back,
you must defeat the Queen.
Famfrit on the right is basically a more powerful version of the
first Totema we had battled. However, you will note that his level
and stats have gone up considerably. If you thought he was difficult
before, now he will be a nightmare. Breath of God is still in his
ability line-up. Still capable of using that destructive casting,
expect heavy damage. Lightspeed works a lot like Greased Bolt or
Faster by delivering an attack that bypasses R-Abilities. Presense
deals damage and knocks a target back one tile. You should already
be aware of what Demi does. Cutting off 1/2 an unit's HP will hurt.
In addition to that monster, Adrammelech of the Bangaas will aid
Remedi and your destruction. Lightspeed is the same move that
Famfrit. Firestream is a high-powered Fire attack that deals damage
to all units standing directly in front of him. Howl of Rage is
basically Warcry as it lowers the Speed of surrounding units. Watch
out for his heavy Weapon Attack. A strike from that will send most
units into critical HP.
The Battle Queen herself is no laughing matter. She currently holds
the highest Weapon Attack out of both her Dephs heathens. However,
she is currently incapable of using any abililities. Therefore, if
you can just avoid her bite, then you should be fine. Defeat the two
Totema clones and then focus on Remedi. Don't allow her to touch you
however, as a hit from her would take most units down. Defeat
Remedi and complete the battle...
Is it over...?
Difficulty: Very Hard
Enemies: Deph x2 (Mateus)
Li-grim (Remedi)
Queen Remedi has been defeated... or not. Mewt appears once again
and Marche takes this chance in a vain attempt to talk to him.
Mewt's beginning to break down finally. While Remedi is weakened,
Marche does his best and tries to coax with him. The Queen gets up
again and walks over to Mewt. "I am the wish-gatherer. I am the
world-maker." No longer is she Queen Remedi. Now she is the pure
essence that binds this world together. Defeat her... and the wishes
shall be undone... With that, the Li-Grim brings in two more Dephs.
This time, they are Mateus, the Human Totema. The epic battle we had
all been waiting for shall begin in the next few seconds. This
really is the end.
Bring in five units and let the final battle begin. Before we go
over Li-Grim, you might want to know what the two Dephs Remedi has
summoned are capable of. The last Totema battle was difficult. Now,
you are up against two Mateuses. Spellbind deals Dark damage and can
Slow a target. Breath of God is a new and improved version of
Famfrit's original signature move. Along with that, both Mateuses
have mastered Star Cross which deals Holy damage to all enemy units
and Thundaga, the Black Magic spell.
Li-Grim herself is a difficulty. Lucky for you, her Weapon Attack
has gone down. What appeared however were a bunch of abilities; all
of them being dangerous in their own sense. Lawshift is one annoying
ability that is also very unpredictable. Basically, she is capable
of shifting the Laws to her liking, and Cid has no control over it.
Amber Gleam acts by Dispeling status enhancements. Her offensive
magic (Ricca) consists of Llednar's Omega which deals heavy damage.
However, Alpha dwarves even Omega in terms of damage! Descent sends
in a random Totema and Magi deals lot of damage really, really fast.
If you really want to win as quickly as possible, send all your
units on a collision course against Remedi. The Mateuses are
dangerous, but attacking them will only allow Remedi more time to
use Omega or Alpha. From here on, there's really no more strategy.
The remaining battle depends on your determination and your sheer
power. Overwhelm Remedi... and the world-thread... shall
disappear...

We enter the battlefield and find the Black Mage Dolce along with
three other members. Immediately, Dolce claims he paid for his food,
but we are obviously aware of his recent crimes. So, get your units
ready and make that Black Mage pay for all the restaurant checks he
passed.
Black Mage Dolce's forces aren't spread out which should make the
battle considerably easier. The main threat here is Dolce and his
powerful Black Magic obviously, but you should also watch out for the
White Monk. The Soldier should be ignored for the time being, but
you should also take note of the White Mage which will constantly
heal his team. To avoid making the battle too long, take out the
White Mage. To further shun Dolce's team, defeat the White Monk too.
End the battle by putting the smack on Dolce. It's pretty easy
getting near him, but if you choose to run after him with more than
one, be sure you spread them out. As you already know, Black Magic
has radius damage. Dolce will fall pretty quickly and by then, the

Here we are, yet another Wanted! mission. This time, we are facing
two of the most wanted figures of the Moogle race. You see both of
the Gabbana Brothers at the start, along with the rest of their
forces. Let's engage.
You might have some trouble right off the bat here. The Moogle Thief
has two abilities, and both of them are painful. Steal: Armor steals
your Armor obviously, and if you are wearing something valuable,
you might lose. The other, Steal: Weapon, is even more of an
annoyance. Since Weapons usually hold at higher values than Armor,
if you lose that particular Nosada, Excalibur, etc., you might not
get it back for a while. Not only that, but this Thief holds Cuisine
which can quickly heal all of his HP.
The Time Mage shouldn't be taken into too much priority. Quicken
might be the only technique which might cause some problems. The two
Bangaas are a White Monk and a Warrior. The White Monk has Earth
Render which damages all who stand directly in front of him, along
with Air Render and Whirlwind. The Warrior has a few tricks up his
sleeves however. Greased Bolt nullifies R-Abilities, and Downsize
cuts off 1/2 of your HP.
This leaves us with Big Gabbana and Lil Gabbana. Lil Gabbana holds
just two abilities, but they can pose a few problems. Smile is
another way to Quicken, and Dagger Disables and damages. Big Gabbana
on the other hand is a much bigger threat. His abilities consist of
Mog Attack, Mog Guard, Mog Lance, Mog Rush, and Last Haste. To win
this battle easily, defeat the Thief to avoid the Steal: Weapon and
Steal: Armor ability, followed by Sir Mog Knight.

If you are engaging with Diaghilev before completing at least Mission
#2 and training your clan up to level 4-5, you might be in for some
trouble. However, if you wait before taking this mission and have
leveled up to around that point, this battle should be pretty simple
yet slightly challenging.
Diaghilev holds his forces towards the north end of the arena. You
come in towards the south. There appears to be a giant hole in the
middle of the arena (Do not ask me why the heck that is there) so
you can't station your units there. Since Diaghilev is towards the
far back, I suggest letting your enemies come to you. Lure Diaghilev
close and when he's in range, pummel him with a physical unit.
That's the best course of action, however, if you failed to bring
in a physical unit or you for some reason, can't set up the attack,
you won't be able to end the battle quicker than you might expect.
The Dragoon is the main problem here. If you fail to take out
Diaghilev within three turns, he will wreak havoc with your attacks.
Therefore, take the Dragoon out before dealing with Diaghilov
otherwise. The objective is to defeat the Alchemist and once that
is accomplished, the mission is yours.

Templar (Kenan)
For this month's Wanted! mission, we are going against the original
palace guard, Kenan and a group of his followers. His allies are
balanced and can pack a punch if you aren't careful. Bring in your
units and prepare to show Kenan that a life of crime is like a
boomerang; you choose to let it go, but if you aren't careful, you
will smack yourself in the face.
The main opposition is like always, the boss of today's battle,
Kanan. His Templar techniques include the standard Warcry, Soul
Sphere, and Haste, along with a special ability, Lifebreak, that
deals the amount of HP damage he has taken against you. Kanan's
weapon at the moment, Kain's Lance, teaches that ability. If you'd
like, steal it, so you can have access to it as well. (Unless you
already have.)
The Dragoon in this battle plays like Kanan's right-hand man (Or
in this case, lizard). Being a Dragoon, he can pack a punch with
his Breath attacks. Even worse, Doublehand allows him to deal
heavy damage with an already powerful Sword. The Archer in the
rear has Cupid and Take Aim. Concentrate makes sure that either
ability will have a high chance of hitting its mark. Unless you
like your units running around Charmed, defeat him to destroy that
threat.
Your two magic casters consist of a Bangaa Bishop, and a Viera
Summoner. The first holds the ability Cura, Water, and Aero.
Therefore, the Bishop is capable of both healing and dealing
offensive magic. The Summoner is a bit more dangerous however. Know
that Summoner abilities have a larger radius than normal spells
hitting at the diagonals and two squares out from the target. Beware
of Ifrit, Ramuh, and Shiva.
If you Silence the two magic casters, you can defeat their threat
fairly quickly. The objective here is to simply defeat the boss,
of whom in this case is Kanan. Don't allow the Archer to Charm your
units too often, and keep the Bangaa Dragoon at bay to leave the
path to Kanan open. Watch out especially for Lifebreak when the
Templar is at lower health.

disabled through use of Blinding. His Gunmanship abilities allow
him to Confuse, Charm, Blind, or Silence your units so beware of
them. Last Quicken allows him to automatically gain the next turn
once his HP turns critical.
The Viera Red Mage (although she isn't really red) is an able
caster of Red Magic. Luckily, she hasn't learned any offensive
spells, but Doublecast can allow her to cast out two spells within
one turn. Cure will heal an ally's HP, Sleep will put a group of
units to Sleep, and Poison will inflict Poison status. Even though
Magic Pow+ is present, it really is useless as she has no offensive
spells.
The second most dangerous unit to Rayne is the Sniper. While the
Gunner might not have Concentrate learned, she does. With that
Support Ability equipped, she can use Doubleshot which shoots two
arrows simaltaneously, Beso Toxico which damages and Poisons, Death
Sickle which inflicts Doom status, Doom Archer which deals lost HP
in damage against HP and MP, and Aim: Weapon of which is capable of
destroying a weapon. My best piece of advice would be stealing her
Hades Bow. Once it is gone, she will be forced to pop up at point
blank range in order to use any of her abilities.
The Assassin Rayne fills the final gap. As an Assassin, a number of
deadly abilities are available to her. First off, Shadowbind acts
by pinning an unit's shadow to the ground. Through that, units can
be Stopped right in their tracks. Last Breath deals an instant KO.
Since this a Jagd, you will want to avoid that at all costs.
Nightmare puts targets to Sleep while Dooming them. Ague Slows an
enemy and Oblivion inflicts Addle status. Finally, Ultima Masher
deals incredible damage at the cost of 60 MP. Avoid the latter as
best as you can.
Status ailments always help to turn the tide of battle in your
favor. Take precautions before sending units on offensives or else
you might have quite a dilemma on your hands. Blind the Gunner,
Disable the Sniper, Silence the Red Mage, and take down Rayne while
her comrades are struggling through their own problems. Try to take
Rayne out within a single turn to avoid any counterattacks.

Jagd battles are always difficult. This particular "Wanted!" battle
should be no exception. You are up against a full house of six
high-powered units so you might want to bring in some units you can
trust. Luckily, there are no laws, so just bring in all your
powerhouse units along with a White Mage if you're paranoid about
the possible "death."
The Archer is perhaps the least effective unit. With only Boost,
Aim: Legs, Aim: Arm, and Blackout, he shouldn't be able to deal too
much hurt. Also, he lacks Concentrate which turns him into an even
lesser threat. The Dragoon on the other hand is a bit more
problematic. Jump is a ranged attack, Lancet drains HP, and Bangaa
Cry is a special "Breath" attack that deals more damage, but doesn't
have elemental backing. Dragonheart is the main problem. Any
Weapon strike against him will give him Auto-Life automatically.
Next in line, the Gladiator and Fighter appear to co-exist with
each other. Luckily, both Spellblade and Fighter techniques don't
have any real effect as long as your Weapon Defense is up. Blitz
is a high-accuracy, low-power strike and Beatdown is a low-accuracy,
high-power strike. Wild Swing deals damage to all units surrounding
and Rush pushes units back a tile. Unless your team is a bunch of
weaklings, I don't see how these two will really do anything apart
from HP damage.
The Assassin IS a problem however. Shadowbind is annoying in itself
as it Stops your units, but if she decides to use Last Breath
on you following a Shadowbind cast, expect instant KO. Aphonia
Silences units, and Oblivion will Addle your units disallowing
them to use A-Abilities. Finally, Lodion himself shouldn't provide
much of a difficulty. Prominence, Tempest, and Freezeblink are
elemental Target All attacks. Wild Tornado is a Wind based Target
All move, but it shouldn't deal more damage.
The real deal here is the Assassin. Shadowbind + Last Breath combos
will constantly plague your team. Even worse, you are fighting in
a Jagd so if you fail to revive your units, they are history.
Nevertheless, with the Assassin down, you should be able to win
against the Dark Lord Lodion easily.

Well, here we are in Baguba Port. This enemy group is most
definitely the culprit. Bring in six units to combat the two Dragons
along with the rest of the clan. You should preferably bring in
Dragoons or any other anti-Dragon unit.
Both Dragons may have high Weapon Attack, but their abilities are
a bit lacking. Ice Breath and Bolt Breath can pose a few threats,
but apart from that, without Mighty Guard or Dragon Force to boost
their Weapon Attack, Weapon Defense, Magic Attack, and Magic
Resistance, you can easily find a way to take them out.
The Archer is no problem. Without Concentrate, simply Blinding him
should stop him for the entirity of the battle. Cupid and Blackout
might cause a few problems with Charm and Blind, but as long as you
strike first, you can easily take him down. The other ranged
attacker, the Hunter, is provided with Advice, Aim: Vitals, and
Addle. Disregard the last ability as it can only affect monsters of
which you don't hold.
The Beastmaster not only is capable of controlling monsters (which
in this battle's case would be useless), but he is also adept at
White Mage techniques: Cura, Protect, and Shell. If you think that
that might cause you some annoyance, take him out with a quick
strike. It would be best to take him down in one turn before he can
heal himself along with others. The Blue Mage completes the set
along with being the most dangerous. Although the Dragons don't
hold their special Might Guard/Dragon Force set, the Blue Mage does.
Most likely, he will power up the Dragons so beware. Angel Whisper
is another curing move, but it will also cast Auto-Life on his
allies. Not good.
Before you go crazy, you might want to focus on the most problematic
of the enemy units. For me, that would be the Blue Mage. Watch your
weaknesses and KO enemies as required. Keep in mind that an
Auto-Lifed, Mighty Guarded, and Dragon Forced Thundrake is no easy
matter in terms of taking it down. This is an easy battle as long as
you don't let your opponent take the advantage.

Following in the great Hero Gaol's footsteps, we find ourselves in
the Koringwood facing off against the "red-armed" fiend that Gaol
had fought. Along with that, you are also going against a few of
its friends. Get your battle routine set, and prepare to fight.
The enemies consist of a Bomb, a Goblin, a Marlboro, a Firewyrm,
and finally, an Icedrake. All of them have fairly high Attack power,
with an emphasis on the Firewyrm whose Attack power is in the 230s!
The closest enemy to your starting position is a Goblin, who is
relatively weak and not too dangerous. If you can take out the
Goblin with a single hit, take it out on the first turn. If not, pass
it by for the time being, and attack it later. For long-range units,
aim at the Marlboro on the far side. It has Bad Breath, which
inflicts a bunch of ailments if it hits. Blue Mage users, I strongly
suggest you pick that move up.
This level is high on one side, with a sheer cliff dropping to
toward. If you have a Fighter with the ability, Rush, or a Defender
with Tremor, you can push an enemy monster off this cliff for
incredible damage. Luckily, the Firewyrm starts down there, and has
to climb up, so you should have to deal with it last without any
other monsters getting in your way. This is a difficult fight, but
only if you don't come prepared.

Oh boy, here goes Chapter Two of the famous "The Hero Gaol." Anyhow,
you find yourself at the Aisen Keep, and who else do you find but
some members of the Aisen 13. They aren't too tough, so let's get
to work.
This battle works much like a normal clan battle. There really
aren't any redeeming qualities about any of these Aisen 13 members.
The one with the most abilities would have to be the Fencer, who
sports the typical Swarmstrike, Featherblow, and Piercethrough, but
also Nighthawk, a special ranged move similar to the White Monk's
Air Render. For the Archers, you should know which one is more
annoying, and which is easier. The Viera is capable of Concentrate,
which makes each of her shots accurate, and the Human really doesn't
have anything other than Maintenance which prevents stealing.
When you start to get to work, work your way against the Fighter and
the Viera Archer. The rest can wait, as they aren't very dangerous.
The Fighter does have mediocre Attack statistics so it should be
taken out quickly. The two Archers both become annoying if you allow
them to stay alive more than five turns, so make sure they are
defeated quickly as well. This battle shouldn't prove too difficult
for you. Defeat all enemies and complete Chapter 2 of "The Hero
Gaol."

Chapter 3 of the "Hero Gaol" takes its setting in Delia Dunes. Your
party will face off against a group of monsters and the Magewyrm,
Gerland in a ominous temple-like arena (It may just be me, but the
music seems WAY too happy for such a desolate place). These Dragons
are no pushover so make sure you bring in strong units.
The main threats in this battle are the Dragons. Both the Bomb and
the Antlion are nothing special. The Bomb might pose some problems
with Blowup, but apart from that, it's almost completely harmless.
Remember that Ice attacks are super-effective against the Bomb,
but Fire attacks will simply be absorbed. For the Antlion, beware
of LV? Def-less only if your units have levels divisible by three.
If not, you can pass it off.
The Red Panther has nicely balanced Weapon Attack statistics.
Luckily, its abilities won't help its chances of surviving. Poison
Claw deals damage and has a chance of Poisoning. Rend is basically
a damaging move with some cool animation.
The Dragons are the main problem. You will most likely have some
trouble with their outstanding Weapon Attack stats. Don't let them
get too close or trouble is bound to start. In terms of abilities,
the Firewyrm has Guard-Off which breaks Defense and Resistance
along with Fire Breath. The Icedrake is capable of Mighty Guard of
which raises an allies Defense and Resistance and Ice Breath.
Finally, the Magewyrm itself, Gerland, holds Dragon Force which
increases Attack and Power and a powerful Bolt Breath technique.
Before you begin with the elemental Black Mage (Or whatever)
spells. Remember that the element that a Dragon represents (Icewyrm
= Ice, Firewyrm = Fire, Thundrake = Lightning) makes a difference.
If you attempted a Blizzara against an Icedrake, you will deal no
damage because of elemental resistance. If you possibly can, Blind
your opposition and the battle will become much, much easier.
Defeat all enemies and win the mission.

Vampire (Lord Ghost)
It seems that the keeplord of Salika Keep has come back as an Undead
creature to challenge anyone that opposes him. Along with him are
his guards and comrades. It may just be me, but these "Gaol"
missions really are becoming strange indeed. Bring in six units and
make sure that one or two of them excels in Holy attacks.
The two Defenders play a role as the Lord Ghost's guards. As guards,
you might want to take them out first. The one on the right has two
Defender techniques: Hibernate which cures status ailments and
Mow Down of which deals surround damage at the cost of losing all
Evade for the entire next turn. The Defender on the left has those
two abilities along with Aura. This move casts Auto-Regen and Auto-
Life on self so be sure that Defender doesn't have enough time to
use it.
The Moogle Time Mage is capable of Haste, Quicken, and Slow. Avoid
having your already slow units getting Slowed even further as your
progress can easily be stunted. A Hasted Lord Ghost isn't a good
thing either. The White Mage on the Vampire's right doesn't really
do anything except for healing of course. However, if you Charm
him, he'll most likely use his Holy curing moves against the Vampire
for HEAVY damage. If you possibly can, take advantage of that.
The Lord Ghost himself is a generic Vampire sprite with exceptional
Weapon Attack. Beware of LV? S-Flare if any of your units have the
same one's digit as the Lord Ghost. If they do, he can use LV? S-
Flare and heavily damage whoever. Miasma damages and Poisons while
Zombify turns one of your units into a Zombie. The latter should
most definitely be avoided at all costs.
The Lord Ghost does have one weakness: Holy. Therefore, you will
find that Paladins and White Mages will wreak havoc. However, do
remember that Undead monsters always regenerate within three turns.
If possible, leave the Vampire for last and pick off his allies
to make the battle easier.

Mog Knight x2
Entering into the Eluut Sands area, you find a group of Moogles of
whom you must fight. Bring in your six units, and prepare yourself
for a fight.
You are up against six Moogle enemies, all of them fairly dangerous.
Keep in careful mind of the Gunner, and the left Mog Knight. The
Gunner holds some status ailmenting shots (Charmshot, Blindshot, etc)
but he also holds the S-Ability, Concentrate which allows him to
shoot from any angle with grim accuracy. You will want to take him
as soon as possible. Second, the more powerful of the two Mog Knights
also holds certain Gunmanship abilities along with an Attack power
of 200!
The Time Mage isn't dangerous, but it should also be priorized to
make the battle much easier. The Animist isn't dangerous, but can
be a problem as it likes to help his allies with Cuisine which
restores HP back to 100%. The Black Mage should not be bothered
with at all, until all the more dangerous enemies are defeated.
A ranged attacker would be smart here. Send your long-range unit
toward the Gunner. Follow up with a few physical units against both
of the Mog Knights. Before concentrating on any of the other
opposition, the Gunner and one or two of the Mog Knights should be
down and out. Following, take out the Time Mage, then the Animist,
and finally, the Black Mage. If you take them out in that order, you
should win it.

The main difficulty here is the Coeurl. It's Attack Power is rather
high, so it can usually take a unit out within two turns if you
choose not to heal. Therefore, healing Potions and Hi-Potions are
recommended here. A few Pheonix Downs couldn't hurt either. Beware
of the Antlion's ability, Counter. Long-range units are practical
here, as they make defeating the Coeurl much easier. Leave the Goblin
for last as it lacks any real ability, thus making it not that big
of a threat.
Keep your units alive and heal if necessary. With defeating all the
monsters here, you have cleared the Antlion nest and seem to have
found the legendary Moogle village... No matter, you finish the
mission!

scattered throughout. Since Fire is weak to Ice, just use a Black
Mage's Blizzard attacks to put them out quickly. Fire attacks are
not useful as they simply replenish the Bomb's health. You will have
to keep in mind that the Bomb's are capable of healing each other
with their "Flame Attacks." If they use that move against you,
prepare them for some hurt. Take them out as quickly as possible to
avoid getting too deep into the battle. The faster you cut the
battle, the better.

Masterberry
It seems the sleek and silent Tonberries have committed yet another
crime. Head to Muscadet and engage. Your enemies consist of a
group of three. Two Tonberries and a single Masterberry make up
your enemy force. This isn't your average monster battle so be
careful with whom you choose.
The two Tonberries are nothing you haven't seen yet. The main
problem is the fact that they don't actually attack, rather, they
use the Knife attack which cuts out 9/10 of your health right off
the bat. Karma is a strange move. It deals damage for each unit
that the target has KOed. You will want to watch out for that
especially. The Masterberry is the spawn of all the main problems.
Knife is the original "cut-out-9/10-HP" attack, but replacing Karma
is Voodoo which basically Dooms its target. I'm sure you don't want
that to happen.
There is one weakness that all Tonberries hold; they have sucky
Move stats. Although their Speed statistics rock the house, they
can only move two tiles at a time which you can definitely use to
your advantage. Use long-range units or magic-casters to take these
Tonberries out from a distance. Defeat all of them to complete the
mystery.

Enemies: Sage
Paladin
Dragoon
Defender
Illusionist
The purpose here is simple. Your objective is to defeat your
opponent in a dead-heat battle. It is going to be your five versus
your enemy's five. Once you are ready, begin the battle and let
this game begin. Your opponent has laid out their units
strategically. The strongest is in the center with the first line
made up of physical units. The weaker magic-casters are placed
behind the offensive line. Because of the fact that you both start
really close to each other, whoever takes the first turn usually
inflicts the first strike.
The Dragoon is in the middle. Being a Dragoon, he is capable of the
three "Breath" attacks as well as the Templar Warcry. Don't try to
fight him at point blank or else Strikeback will get the best of
you. The nearby Defender holds Tremor, Drop Weapon, and Aura. Again,
he also holds the Templar Warcry. The Paladin is very ineffectuous
in terms of abilities as he is only capable of Defense and some
White Mage healing techniques. Nevertheless, his Weapon Attack can
still pack a punch if you aren't careful. I'd suggest taking him
down early so he can't heal. The magic units consist of an
Illusionist and a Sage. The latter poses quite a problem with Giga
Flare and Bio.
I choose to tackle this mission by defeating the Paladin first to
destroy their chances of healing. Following, I usually take down the
magic-casters leaving only the remaining physical units to fend
for themselves. By this point, the battle is already won. The reward
for this battle, the Sequence, is a very special weapon. Everytime
you win it again and again, its Weapon Attack statistics increase
by one. If you are patient, you will eventually have the most
powerful weapon in the game.

Because this is a Mage Tourney, all physical attacks will be
penalized. The set laws for this tournament are based off of
Color Magic. If you do not use Color Magic for every turn, you will
be given a Yellow Card. You know what to do. If you don't have up to
four magic units, this battle might be tough as any other units
cannot be used. Your enemies consist of the four Color Mages. They
consist of the Viera Red Mage, the Human Blue Mage, the Nu Mou White
Mage, and the Moogle Black Mage.
First on the lineup is the Red Mage (Although she isn't really Red
in color). Notice that her Thunder Robe nullifies Lightning strikes.
Therefore, avoid using Lightning against her. Her magic spell lineup
is simple, but Doublecast makes sure that two spells in a row will
pack you a punch. The nearby Blue Mage is less of a threat, but he
can still be a nuisance. Luckily, he lacks some of the higher end
Blue Magic spells such as Bad Breath. Don't group your units
together or you will be victimized by Twister.
The Moogle Black Mage is the offensive unit of this group. Luckily,
he only knows spells up to the "-ara" suffix of elemental attacks.
Even so, with Magic Power at 294, expect to be hurt anyway. Return
Magic will slingshot a spell back at caster so beware. Finally, the
White Mage provides support through healing with Cura, reviving
with Life, and casting both Protect and Shell.
Anyway, to win this battle, you need sheer power over strategy.
Because you can really differentiate your units too much, don't
expect too many possibilities. I'd suggest just leveling up until
your Magic Power beats their's. Upon defeating this group of four,
you will receive the Sapere Aude. Everytime this mission repeats
itself, you have the opportunity to win it again. For every battle
that you win it again, the Magic Power goes up by one. Level up the
Sapere Aude to make it powerful.

Swimming, huh? For this tournament, you appear in an arena filled
with water. The objective is to defeat the other team while you
transcend the water. Keep in mind that stepping into water disallows
a unit from performing any actions. Therefore, you should use units
holding Feather Boots as they can just walk over the water! Also,
don't bring an unit with Galmia Shoes. That's just stupid.
Luckily, your opponents have the same disadvantage. However, they
will be diligent in taking you down. The Archer is the only ranged
attacker so she will most likely be your biggest problem. Aim: Legs
can Immobilize you (Not good if you are in the water without Feather
Boots), Cupid Charms one of your units, and Take Aim is a 100% aimed
shot. Also, that Archer is capable of Doubleshot and Concentrate
which can be particularly annoying. The Dragoon is well-suited for
this environment. Jump is a ranged attack which he can use from one
of the many islands scattered through this arena. Lancet drains HP
if he is ever critical. Don't allow him to use Cheer followed by a
Jump. The HP damage would be devastating.
The Bangaa Gladiator nearby holds Wild Swing which damages
surrounding units and Ice Sword which strikes his opponent with a
magical Spellblade. Air Render is a ranged attack and Earth Render
deals damage to all units in front of him. If you want to keep your
enemies down, the White Mage really needs to be taken out. She is an
able healer with Curaga. Esuna heals status and Shell casts a magic-
resistant barrier around one of her allies. Even worse, she can
summon Unicorn to heal HP or Kirin which casts Auto-Regen.
As stated before, Feather Boots can make the battle much easier.
Since your opponents don't use them, they will have to rely on the
islands scattered throughout to attack you. I'd strongly suggest
taking the central island so your opponents will have few areas to
attack you from. Once you occupy the central island, you can just
take down the foe from there. If possible, Immobilize enemy units
in the water so they can't use actions.
Beating this mission will win you the Acadia Hat. When this mission
repeats itself, you have the opportunity to win it again. Every time
you re-win the Acadia Hat, i's Magic Resistance goes up by one.
If you constantly re-win it, its Resistance will go through the

Elementalist
Sniper (Villi)
If you are confused at when this mission will appear, know that you
must first engage with a number of Encounters that occur beforehand.
Defeat the Brown Rabbits, Blue Genius, Yellow Powerz, and the White
Kupos without surrendering once. Once they are all defeated, the
final Clan League will appear at the Pub. Accept that and prepare
for battle in the Bervenia Palace courtyard.
It's 4 vs 4 in a dead-heat battle. There are no laws to restrict
anything so be sure to take advantage of that. You are up against
Viera that are fairly tough. Be sure to especially take caution
around the Assassin. Alone, she would be a threat, but with three
other units with her and Concentrate learned, the Assassin is even
more of a threat. Last Breath (Instant KO) will easily put you out
of commission so do your best to avoid that. Likewise, avoid
Nightmare (Sleep and Doom) as well.
The two magic-casters of the group are the Summoner and an
Elementalist. A lot of caution should be taken around the latter.
The Elementalist is capable of Shining Air of which deals Wind
damage and Blinds at the same time, Evil Gaze which does Dark damage
with a chance of Confusing, Heavy Dust, an Earth move that can
Immobilize, and Sliprain the Water elemental spell that can Slow
your units. You might have a little difficulty with some of the
Summoner's spells. With Red Magic, she can also put your units to
Sleep along with Poisoning them. I'd suggest simply Silencing both
to keep them out of play for a few turns.
The boss, and the real objective here is Villi the Sniper.
Basically, if you are able to take her down, the mission is over.
However, as a Sniper, she might be a bit difficult. With high Weapon
Attack, be sure that all arrows against you will deal heavy damage.
Doubleshot shoots two weakened arrows simaltaneously. Beso Toxico
deals damage while Poisoning at the same time and Death Sickle
inflicts Doom status. Doom Archer can pose a problem if Villi is at
low health as it deals amount of lost HP in damage. Protect yourself
from Aim: Weapon as it can destroy your weapon (obviously).
If you don't need the experience, just send all four of your units
on a collision-course with the Sniper. If you are diligent, you
should take her down within a single turn. However, try not to drag
on the battle too long as the Assassin will surely be a problem with
her abilities. Take any approach you'd like, but defeat Villi in the
end to win the Clan League!

This battle isn't as easy as it sounds. This will probably be your
first encounter with the Panthers, one of the more powerful monster
classes.
You start off in Lutia Pass obviously. The three targets are right
ahead of you. All three are powerful and have heavy defense. You will
need magic or powerful strikes from a weapon to defeat them all.
A White Mage is a must and some Pheonix Downs really couldn't hurt.
Focus on taking out the Red Panthers first as they have the highest
Attack and Defense statistics. The Goblin is easier, but should also
be attacked with caution.

Red Panther x2
Black Mage (Gelato)
This is a fairly easy battle if you know what you are doing. You are
up against three monsters and a Black Mage which is pretty powerful.
However, if you destroy both of the Magic Devices (The shimmering
blue objects), the mission is over. Therefore, a ranged attacker is
a good idea.
If you have a Gunner this early on, you are lucky as these Magic
Devices cannot evade. An Archer or similar would do fine, though,
they do have a lesser range. Anyhow, the Floateye along with the
Black Mage, Gelato, both should be prioritized. The Red Panthers
are dangerous, but they don't pose as big as a threat as the other
two. If you can keep a constant blow from a long-range unit to the
two Magic Devices, you should be fine. Have your long-range unit
pound away at those two objects while the rest of your party tries to
keep that unit alive. Defeat Gelato is optional, but I'd suggest
taking him out to make the battle easier.
Because of Gelato's incredibly high level, a White Mage is only
practical. Try to station the White Mage so that its in range of
your long-range unit, and the rest of your party. Therefore, you can
heal both groups without much problem. When both Magic Devices are
obliverated, the mission is yours.

Zombie x2 (Colin, Lyle, Guinness)
This may very well be your first encounter with the Undead type of
monster. This battle is difficult, but if you know what you are
doing, it will flow through. First off, Zombies are defeatable but
they will regenerate after three turns. This may pose a problem.
Also on the playing field are two Ice Flans. A Black Mage is REQUIRED
here, unless you happen to have another magic casting unit. I'd
suggest you focus on those pesky Ice Flans first as they can cast
Blizzard attacks against you which causes a whole lot of damage.
Be sure that you keep that Sage, Auggie, alive or else you lose it.
Leave the Zombies for last as they can regenerate. To defeat the
three Zombies, try to take them all out at the same time within a
turn. If one regenerates, you will have to defeat it all over again,
which is not good. Kill all enemy units and the mission is yours.
By the way, if you haven't noticed by now, the three Zombies are
named after the bullies at your school; Colin, Lyle, and Guinness.
Looks as if they met a pretty gruesome fate if you know what I mean!

You walk into the Roda Volcano area and note a bunch of monsters up
ahead. Bring in six units, and prepare to engage against three Bombs
and two Firewyrms. Despite their intimidating looks however, they
shouldn't prove too much of a problem.
The Firewyrms have attacks in the 200-units, so you might want to
watch out. The Bombs are just your standard issue, so unless they
really annoy you, you can defeat them later. Apart from the
occasional Fire Breath from one of the Firewyrms, you won't really
be seeing any ultra-powerful attacks.
The closest enemy to you is a Firewyrm. Focus all your attacks on
it before attempting to take out the others. The next target should
preferably be the other Firewyrm, but if it's currently out of range,
knock out a Bomb or two. Once both Firewyrms are snuffed out, you
won't get much more opposition or have any difficulty whatsoever,
unless a Bomb happens to use its Blowup ability against you. Defeat
all the monsters and win the mission.

that's all that's really required. With the help of Ritz and Shara,

In fact, it's difficult to even try to lose.
You might want to focus on the Sprites first. They hold the White
Wind healing ability which can become an annoyance. Following, be
sure to take out the Juggler as well to avoid his arsenal of
abilities. You will want to watch out especially for Ring and Ball.
Defeat all enemies to win the battle, and save Ritz and Shara.

So you step into the Ulei River area and notice that monsters have
decided to make their presence known. Well, we better find that ring
even if getting to it means a little engagement.
All monster fights thus far have probably been easy. Well, this
isn't. The Goblin is the least important monster here. Focus the
majority of your attacks on the single Lilith as it holds incredible
Attack Power and is a nuisance overall. However, the single Lilith
is at the rear of the level so you won't need to attack her first.
The Sprite becomes annoying, especially with its White Wind healing
move. Luckily, it's exceptionally weak so you should take that out.
The key to this mission would be to take out the Lilith quickly as
explained. With her out of the way, you won't have to comprehend with
Poison, Charm, Doom, or Frog status ailments. Defeat every monster to
find the ring we are in search of as well as completing this not-so-

Let's get the lowdown on the battle field. You are up against two
Floateyes along with a more powerful red version known as the
Ahriman. The Beastmaster may appear useless, but he is capable of
White Magic just as well.
The first enemy you might want to take care of would be the Ahriman.
It has high attack power and can easily put your units into the
critical zone. Beware of the Floateye and Ahriman abilities Stare
and Circle. The Beastmaster can heal his monsters, but he can't
attack too well so focus on the Floateyes. It's just a normal battle
after the Ahriman is killed off. One thing to remember however, do
not attempt to surround a Floateye in an attempt to flank it.
Floateyes can fly (Well, judging by their wings) right over your
units.
Just cut away at everyone's health and you should be fine. This is
no difficult battle no matter what level you are at. If any of your
units faint or get hurt, items always work.

For the Desert Rose mission, you are to find a special flower near
an oasis. Obviously, seeing as this is an engagement mission, we run
into some monster opposition. Bring in your standard set of units
and prepare for battle.
Your initial Antlions aren't the greatest threat in this battle.
LV3 Def-less is a 100% accuracy Defense and Resistance breaker which
can only affect units with levels divisible by three. Sandstorm is
the standard surround move which Blinds and damages. For the
Jawbreaker, you will note both LV3 Def-less and LV5 Death. The latter
is an automatic KO for all units with levels divisible by five. Mark
my words, don't bring in units with levels divisible by five. That's
just stupid.
The Sprite can provide some problems with the heavy damage Meteorite
attack. The last of the monsters here include two Red Panthers.
Poison Claw is simple enough to understand. Just try to avoid getting
Poisoned yourself. Rend is basically an attack with no side effects,
and Reveal can locate invisible units such as Concealed Snipers.
Beware of their high Attack stats.
Focus on the Antlions and Jawbreakers. You should also send a
single unit against the Sprite as it has low Weapon Defense, and
you don't want it raining meteorites on your units. The Red Panthers,
although intimidating, shouldn't provide much of a problem. Like
most battles, defeat all monsters to win this battle as well as the
mission.

Red Panther x3
Here we are with Mission #52, yet another monster battle with some
simple monsters. Bring in your six units to the battlefield and
engage against three Red Panthers, a Cream, and a Coeurl.
This battle should be no trouble considering that you should now be
able to rip these monsters to shreds. You won't have too much trouble
with the Red Panthers, except for perhaps Poison Claw. The Coeurl
has a higher Weapon Attack, and Hastebreak, which either Slows your
units, or breaks any Haste casted on them. Finally, the most
difficult enemy here, the Cream holds Thundara, Acid, and a self-KO
healing move, Sacrifice.
The order in which you defeat these monsters doesn't really affect
anything. Because the Cream is only affected by magic, you might want
to zap it with a quick shot of some Fire/Ice elemental attack. The
Red Panthers and Coeurls should fall easily beneath your very blade
and crumble on the floor.

I guess it's time again to teach these low-lifes that poaching is
bad. Here at the Baguba Port, you are up against a group of enemies
who are willing to use all means necessary to escape the wrath of
the law. However, even low-lifes know how to defend themselves.
Bring in six units you can trust and start the battle.
Apart from the two Thieves, your enemies are long-range units. You
should be sure to bring in some long-range units of your own to
counteract them. Anyhow, the closest opponent is a Human Thief.
His Steal abilities won't deal too much of a threat, but Double
Sword is deadly. Holding two Knives, that Thief can get two strikes
in. His other Ninja Skill is Oblivion which Addles your units
disabling Action Abilities.
The other Thief, a Moogle, is more of a utility unit than an all-
out attacking unit. In terms of Steal abilities, you won't really
take too much trouble from Steal: Shield, Steal: Access., Steal:
Helm, and Steal: Gil. However, the two Juggler techniques he owns
can pose a problem. Dagger damages and Disables, and Smile
automatically gives an ally the next turn.
There are also two Hunters on the bandwagon. Their Weapon Attack is
in the 290s so you might want to be a bit careful. Sonic Boom is a
radius-damage attack which can demolish your team if you group them
together. Aim: Vitals inflicts a random status ailment and Addle
disables your unit in terms of A-Ability. You might also want to
watch out for Battle Tech which consists of Powerbreak, Mindbreak,
Magicbreak, and Speedbreak. Fighter Tech consists of Rush, Beatdown,
and Blitz.
All Gunners are annoying. Especially those with Concentrate
equipped. To your luck, the Gunner of this battle happens to have
Concentrate along with almost every Gunmanship technique (Exception
goes to Iceshot, Fireshot, and Boltshot). Yep, that means the
three big ones: Charmshot, Confushot, and Stopshot. The Archer on
the other hand is less of a threat, but still can be dangerous.
Concentrate is still equipped, and in addition to some simple Aim
abilities, certain Assassin techniques also make appearance. Aphonia
Silences, Nightmare Sleeps and Dooms, and Ague Slows her target.
It might be a bit difficult to start off here. Every unit has its
ups. However, if you know what your weaknesses are right off the bat,
then you should know who to attack first. If you think your team
will crumble once your Paladin (or some other high-powered unit
is Charmed), you might want to deal with the Archer and Gunner
threats first. Likewise, if you rely on weak magic units, you might
want to take out the Thieves and Hunters.

In the Materiwood, you locate Leanan the Summoner, but she's in a
bit of trouble. Luckily, we arrived in the nick of the time. Let's
go and knock these monsters out. Bring in a few, trusted units and
begin the battle.
Many people have trouble with this mission because of the fact that
Leanan starts so close to the monsters. If your units aren't quick
enough to stop them, Leanan will most likely fall pretty fast. Once
she is KOed the battle is basically over. Therefore, take necessary
precautions. You can use a Paladin's Cover to take damage for her
or use a White Mage to cast Auto-Life on her.
If you saved Leanan and kept her alive for the first turn, the
battle is easy going from this point forward. The Firewyrm will
probably be your biggest problem. Guard-Off knocks down Defense and
Resistance and Fire Breath is particularly damaging. With Weapon
Attack in the 300s, you might have a bit of trouble around this
Firewyrm. Second in terms of overall toughness is the Red Panther.
Beware of Poison Claw as it (obviously) Poisons.
The Titania might pose a threat, but only if the day of months play
against you. LV?D Holy deals damage to units with the same level as
the day of month. As long as the day of month doesn't match any of
your units' levels, you should be fine. The Sprite is less of a
danger, but Meteorite can still deal some damage. Finally, the
Malboro can wreak havoc if its Bad Breath attack lands a hit. Make
sure that doesn't happen.
Again, if you saved and kept Leanan alive for the first turn, the
rest of the battle should be smooth sailing. However, do not let
Leanan get KOed even afterwards. The Firewyrm is not affected by
Fire attacks so don't even try it. You might want to target the
Titania as it holds Angel Whisper which is capable of healing both
HP and casting Auto-Life on one of its allies. Don't let that happen
and take that Titania out as quickly as possible.

Apart from the Red Cap which might cause some problems, these
monsters should be a piece of cake. Magic users should beware of the
Red Cap's Magic Hammer ability which pulls off quite a bit of MP
with each strike. The key here is to end the battle quickly. Do that
by sending two physical units at the Red Cap and the having the
remaining units each take a monster of their own. If you do that,
the battle should end quickly. Monsters don't have that great of
Speed stats so you should be able to take a few out within the first
turn. Tear away and win this easy battle.

Siena Gorge is haven to many clans. While searching for Amber in
the Siena Gorge, you come come across a group of enemies. Their
intentions appear hostile, so we might as well engage. However, this
battle can become tough so make sure your clan is well-rounded
and ready to fight.
First off, the Human Ninja commands his position. As a well-leveled
Ninja, he might pose a problem at the beginning of the battle.
Double Sword allows him to deal heavy damage by swinging two Katanas
at your face. Along with that, he is also capable of casting a
number of "Veil" spells. Specifically, Fire, Wood, Earth, Wood, and
Metal will all make their appearance. The status ailments connected
to each one are particularly troublesome.
The Moogle Gunner can prove to be some difficulty, but it won't
cause too many problems. The lack of Concentrate makes it so that
attacks against you won't have insanely high accuracy percentiles.
The nearby Sniper will be much more threatening however with a
larger ability line-up. Doom Archer and Aim: Weapon can both be
troublesome. For that, I'd suggest Blinding her. Aim: Armor can
also be a problem if it lands a hit.
The physical unit of this group is a Bangaa Defender. As a Defender,
his Speed statistics are as low as anything. You can even further
delay his turns by reducing his Speed or inflicting Slow on him.
Even so, Earth Render causes problems as it deals damage to all
units in front of him. Aura works by casting Auto-Life and Auto-
Regen on himself. Before he has a chance to use that on himself,
KO him. Disabling would work too.
The Viera Doublecaster (aka the Red Mage) will very likely be a
threat. If she happens to use Doublecast on you, be wary of "Sleep +
Poison" combos. By putting your units to Sleep, Poisoning that unit
will damage HP while the unit is dozing. For the Time Mage, you just
want to avoid Demi. Meteor is an Alchemist technique which also
might appear occasionally. Do not group your units together or he
will most likely cast Meteor into that group. With heavy damage,
you will take casualties.
The enemy group here is well-split and balanced between magic-
casters and the physical units themselves. Follow up with a good
balance of your own. Remember that Silence will easily keep a magic
unit out of commission for a few turns (With emphasis on the Time
Mage and Red Mage here). For physical units, Disabling them or using
Blind should help you out.

Here we are helping a "troubled" inmate escape certain containment.
Apparently, our nightly prison break failed to get past the eyes of
the local guard. Julian escaped, but we're stuck here. Stall them
so that the young criminal can make take his leave. Stuck doing the
dirty-work, huh?
The prison guards really must be on their day off. The alarm was
issued and only four units came to stop you. Your opposition this
time consists of two Templars and two Defenders. All four really
lose in terms of Speed so you can expect to get the first few turns
to yourself. Use their lack of Speed to your advantage and set up
an attack while they wait there.
The two Templars, as always, are the source of your problems. Heavy
Weapon Attack make them both very formidable opponents at close
range. Warcry can be annoying as it lowers Speed. If you are going
to take them down to critical health, just watch out for Lifebreak
which deals lost HP in damage. If that strikes you, prepare to be
devastated. Also, the one Templar capable of Prayer can cast Cura
on his allies. Defeat that one Templar and your opposition will be
incapable of healing.
The Defenders may have lower Weapon Attack, but as Defenders, their
Weapon Defense goes through the roof. Needless to say, magic attacks
would be very useful. However, if you have any elemental weaknesses,
beware the Spellblades that one Defender holds. Likewise, White Monk
abilities are present in the other Defender. While multi-tasking,
be sure that you don't underestimate their abilities.
I choose to defeat the Templar capable of casting Cura. Therefore,
once he is down, your opponents will be incapable of healing.
Following, you can try to KO the second largest threat in terms of
Weapon Attack, the other Templar. The more of the guards you take
down, the less capable your enemies will become. Defeat all four of
the guards and escape.

Bring in your six units, and take a moment to observe your battle-

enemies, rather to destroy the two Odd Statues at the northwestern
corner as soon as possible. So bring in some long-range units, and
some physical members if you'd like, and begin the battle.
All your enemies are fairly well-rounded in terms of stats. The
closest enemy would probably be the Lilith. She is capable of
inflicting Poison, Frog, Charm, and Doom status on your units so
beware. The single Titania becomes increasingly annoying later in
the battle. With LV?D Holy, the Titania can hit all units that have
the same one's digit as the day of month.
Adding to the enemy monsters, you will find a Lamia towards the
rear. She holds the Poison Kiss ability which is the same as the one
the Lilith Holds. Along with that, Night puts all units (friend or
foe) to sleep on the field. The monsters close off with the Toughskin
chilling around. Resonate will Disable all physical units, and
Matra Magic switches around MP/HP.
As I said before, bringing in long-range units would be a smart
thing to do. With them, get them towards the two Odd Statues toward
the rear and unleash your arrows, bullets, and whatever into them.
Have your physical units hold off on the monsters while the others
take care of the Odd Statues. In fact, it is possible to simply make
a run for the two Odd Statues and quickly knock them down before
your enemies have a chance to retaliate.

Archer
Animist
Thief x2
Well, they had stolen his sketchbook, and with it, the "Sketchy
Thief" had apparently put one of his sketches to life through some
strange transformation process. Apart from a drawing Jelly, your
opponents are your standard engagement grunts. Bring in six units
to combat this group. Make sure that you take in at least one magic-
casting unit to take down the Jelly.
Your enemies consist of the standard. Two Thieves play a role as
the main physical units of this battle. The Moogle Thief can steal
your Armor, Shield, and Weapon as well as being able to use the
Gunmanship techniques: Blindshot and Stopshot. Concentrate makes
it so that all moves have 90%+ chance of hitting. The Human Thief is
a bit less dangerous in terms of stealing ability. Your Gil, EXP,
and JP are not safe around him (sarcasm)! Watch out for some of his
Black Magic however.
The Archer is the ranged attacker of this group. He holds Aim: Legs
and Aim: Arms. Furthermore, he also holds Concentrate which improves
accuracy greatly. The few Battle Tech he holds aren't very useful.
The Moogle Animist nearby is much more capable. Cuisine heals HP
to the max while Chocobo Rush creates a giant stampede dealing
damage to all units standing in front of and in back of him.
Frogsong works by changing an enemy unit into a Frog. By all means,
Silence him to avoid any problems.
Finally, the "drawing" that the Thief brought to life is nothing
more than a simple Jelly. Like all Flan, this Jelly will only be
affected by magic. Physical attacks will deal one HP damage and
occasionally two. Watch out for his Fire spells however as they
can deal very heavy damage with each casting. As a side note, do
make sure that you don't use Fire against it. The Jelly will only
absorb them.

Helping the Bardo Band against the Gertai Band, you venture to the
Ozmonfield. Awaiting you there are your opponents of the Gertai
Band. Send in your six units and begin the battle. You might have
some trouble here so keep that in mind.
Your enemies consist of a full party with six members. Because of
the elongated terrain, your enemies are spread apart. However, they
appear to have lined themselves up. The first of your foe, the
Paladin, holds Saint Cross and Holy Blade. The latter is a high-
powered Holy strike which is usually capable of taking down your
units within a single strike. Saint Cross deals Holy damage to all
surrounding units. Nurse and Drop Weapon are self-explanatory.
Next on the list is the Bangaa Dragoon. The Kain's Lance is a very
rare weapon that you might want to steal before doing anything.
Anyhow, techniques include Jump which is a Dragoon ranged attack,
Lancet which drains HP, and the notorious "Breath" attacks. The
Viera Summoner holds a wide variety of Summon Skills. Don't group
your units too close together or you will easily fall victim to
her offensive magic.
The most deadly of the enemy group is the Assassin obviously. She
excels in Speed stats which makes her even more of an issue. You
should probably want to steal the Genji Shield as it is very rare.
Watch out especially for her Last Breath technique. If it hits, the
unit is automatically KOed. Equally dangerous is Rockseal, a
Petrifying move. The nearby Alchemist is the magic caster of this
group. Astra is a special status enhancement that nullifies the
first status ailment against. Meteor and Flare are both heavy
damage attacks. Poison and Toad are self-explanatory, and Rasp
deals MP damage.
Finally, the Moogle Mog Knight finishes off this lineup. He plays
the role as the pseudo-boss of Gertai Band. Clad in nearly all opal,
he is as shiny (List: Opal Helm, Opal Shield, and Opal Armor) as
he is valiant. Mog Guard, Mog Lance, and Mog Aid make up his Charge
abilities, but he is also adept at using the Fireshot, Boltshot,
and Iceshot of the Gunner job-set.
Apart from Items and the Paladin's Nurse technique, you should
realize that the Gertai Band has no other means of healing
themselves. It's weaknesses like these that you work upon. Defeat
all enemies to drive the Gertai Band out. A victory for the Bordo
Band. Now why did we help them again?

Remember Mission #12 Jagd Hunt? Well, those bandits seem to have
hit poor Nono again. Head over to the Jagd Dorsa symbol, and send
in six units to start the battle. This is a Jagd engagement, so
be sure you have means of reviving fallen allies.
You might start off seeing a Ninja who holds the sought after Double
Sword along with R-Ability Last Haste. Along with him, you have a
Blue Mage with Guard-Off, Dragon Force, LV3 Def-less which lowers
the Defense and Resistance of units with levels divisible by 3,
and White Wind.
Also playing a role is a Gunner with Concentrate. The Gunner can
easily become an annoyance so you might want to strike it down
quickly. The Red Mage not only holds Doublecast, but also Magic Pow+
to further add the hurt to her Magic attacks. You will want to
watch out for that Red Mage. The Thief is only capable of stealing
EXP, JP, and Gil so don't worry about it too much. And finally, the
Black Mage can really hurt your units with its "-aga" ability.
Prioritize the Ninja first so you won't have to be dealt with Double
Sword for the rest of the battle. Following, you might want to
knock out the Shot-bearing Gunner, or the Doublecasting Red Mage.
If you are ever KOed, be sure to revive them. I'm sure you will take
caution here. Defeat the bandits once more, and save Nono's airship
... again!

You are up against three Lamias in this battle. You are allowed to

with them. You are fighting in Cadoan, which has a few ups and downs
so walking through it might be a bit tough.
The area is split up into an upper area, and a lower area. I'd
suggest sending half of your members towards the ledge, and half of
them to the lower area. Therefore, you won't have to go through any
time consuming walking. The Lamias are easy for the most part, but
they hold a terribly annoying ability. Poison Frog will not only
Poison you, but transforms you into a Frog! Not good.
As long as you watch out for that move, you should be fine. The
Lamias are easily cut apart, and if you have a Beastmaster with the
Lamia control ability, the battle becomes easier. Kill off the Lamias
and you should find a special Mission Item; The Hero Gaol.

Icewyrm
Ahriman
Ruin Ward
Odd Statue x2
Once again, Professor Auggie has gotten himself into quite a bit of
trouble. This time, it appears as if he disappeared into some cave.
During our search, some monsters attempt to engage us. Nearby are
two Odd Statues that might serve some purpose. Bring in some units
and begin the battle.
Your opposition consists of a Bomb, an Icewyrm, a Titania, and an
Ahriman. The Bomb is no problem with Flame Attack as its only
technique (Apart from Blowup). The other three might pose a few
problems however. The Icewyrm boasts high Weapon Attack along with
Ice Breath. By all means, try to avoid it and remember that Ice
attacks deal nothing against this Ice-based Dragon.
The Titania isn't even a Titania at all. Rather, she plays a role as
the Ruin Ward. Defending the Tubola Cave, she isn't too tough to
say the least. LV?D Holy deals heavy Holy damage to all units with
the same one's digit as the day of month. Angel Whisper becomes much
more annoying. It heals HP AND casts Auto-Life on one of her allies.
The Ahriman's only real threat is Roulette which chooses a random
unit and KOs that unit.
The objective here is to destroy all the objects meaning the Odd
Statues. The Odd Statues have very low statistics and their HP is
so low that one strike would take one down. Ranged attacks would
work well so choose your units wisely. Don't let the other monsters
get in your way however. Take them down first.

Elementalist
If you want to unlock Jagd Helje, you must complete this mission.
After receiving the Helje Key from the escapee, Julian, we find
ourselves at Tubola Cave awaiting this new "area." Before you can
enter however, you are going to have to prove your worthiness to
these hardcore chicks.
Before you do anything, note the fact that all your enemies are
magic-casters (Even the Gadgeteer is pseudo-magic). Therefore,
bring in Templars or Time Mages to counteract them with Silence.
Any MP-hurting attacks would do good here. Similarily, if you
Berserk them, then they will be forced to use Fight moves. Even
so, you have one major enemy that will most likely nullify status
ailments.
The White Mage will act as the savior of this enemy group. Until
you can defeat him, avoid using status ailments as they will just
be healed. However, while being a White Mage, he can also cast
instant KO with the Alchemy Skill, Death. Even so, once the White
Mage is down and out, the battle becomes easier as you can just
Silence or Berserk your opponents.
The Viera Elementalist is very capable of knocking you off your
feet. Fire Whip damages and Disables, Evil Gaze deals Dark damage
and Confuses, and Sliprain deals Water damage and Slows. However,
with Doublecast and the Red Mage technique, Sleep, expect two full
spells right in your face. With Magic Pow+, her spells deal even
more damage.
Next in line, you will find that the Black Mage loves Fire. Equipped
with a Blaze Robe and a Flame Rod, he achieves that burning
sensation with style. Luckily, this provides some advantage as the
only Black Magic spells he can cast are Fire, Fira, and Firaga.
Nevertheless, you will still want to watch out for Blue Mage
techniques anyway. By now, your units should have levels higher than
20 so the normally devastating LV? S-Flare will be disabled.
Nearby, a Time Mage makes his appearance. Capable of Slow, Stop,
Silence, and Demi, expect him to be a force to be reckoned with.
If you don't want to be victimized by Time Magic, take him down with
some long-range attacks. The Bishop has the largest ability list
set-up obviously. Most of his spells are just offensive magic
however. Still, beware of Break and Holy. The latter deals heavy
Holy damage and Break Petrifies units on the spot.
Finally, the Gadgeteer stands toward the rear with his "one"
Pandora ability. Silver Disc is a completely unpredictable move
that will Blind either side through a flip of a coin. Being his
only Pandora ability, the Gadgeteer obviously isn't capable of
much. You might find Damage > MP to be the pit of some exasperation
but it is easily bypassed with moves like Faster or Greased Bolt.
If you don't have access to those, simply taking down his MP and
then his HP within a single turn works too.
This battle can become incredibly easy or incredibly difficult.
If you fail to work off the fact that your opponents are all magic-
casters, then you might have some problems. The two most redeeming
status ailment against these units would be, again, Silence and
Berserk. As magic-units, their Weapon Defense falls a bit short so
high-powered physical units, like always, will prevail.

Enemies: Coeurl
Grenade
Ice Flan
Jawbreaker
Well what do you know? If it wouldn't be monsters we are engaging.
You know our drill. Bring in six units and prepare to engage a
Coeurl, a Grenade, an Ice Flan, and a Jawbreaker. Don't worry about
difficulty; this is fairly easy.
The worst of the worst in this case would be the Coeurl. Its Weapon
Attack power is pretty high, but Blaster will Petrify your entire
team if you aren't careful. His other ability, Hastebreak, isn't
used often, but can still become annoying as it Slows your units.
When your Speed-logged Paladin gets Slowed, don't expect him to be
of too much help as he'll probably get a turn every five other
turns.
The Jawbreaker is another annoying one. Luckily, as long as you
bring units without levels divisible by three or five, you should
be eased a bit. LV3 Def-less basically destroys the Defense and
Resistance statistics of units with levels divisible by three.
Likewise, LV5 Death automatically KOs all units with levels
divisible by five. That is not a good thing.
The Grenade is a lot easier to take care of, and should really be
left until the end of the battle. Chill is a radius attack which
damages, and also heals the Grenade itself. Weapon Atk+ makes Fight
moves even more hurting, and Blowup is self-explanatory. In terms
of the Ice Flan, you will want to watch out for Blizzara and
a status ailmenting move, Acid.
With your magic casters, attack the Ice Flan first. If the
Jawbreaker or Grenade is a priority to you, take them out with a
physical strike. The Coeurl might require a group effort. Remember
to "un"-Petrify your units with Softs often unless you like a living
statue standing right there doing nothing. Winning this battle will
also gain you the Jagd Alhi symbol.

Despite the fact that you may have the Wyrmstone, the Delia Wyrms
are not very giving to requests. To test your determination, you
must engage with the Delia Wyrms. If you win, they will help. If
you lose, say goodbye.
The Delia Wyrms are led by two Dragoons. Both excel in Weapon
Attack. The more powerful of the two is not the boss himself
however. The actual Dragoon boss is the one holding the Genji
gear. The boss Dragoon is fitted with all three "Breath" attacks
along with Lancet which sucks the HP out of your units. The other
non-"boss" Dragoon has higher Weapon Attack as stated before, but
his abilities are a bit lacking. Lancet drains HP and Jump is a
ranged attack.
The Dragons themselves are slaves of the Dragoon's control. Nearest
the starting position, a Firewyrm stands there looking intimidating.
It holds Fire Breath which can blaze right through your units.
The Icedrake has higher Weapon Attack along with Ice Breath. Mighty
Guard increases Weapon Defense and Resistance. Finally, the last of
the Dragons, the Thundrake, has Bolt Breath and Dragon Force which
is capable of boosting Weapon Attack and Magic Power.
The objective here is to defeat the boss Dragoon. If you don't need
the EXP, you can just put all your units on a collision-course with
the boss. However strong he might be, he will easily fall to a full
force of six units. Take him down, and the Delia Wyrms will agree to
drive the Dragon out of Baguba Port.

but "Meow" obviously wants to play a bit longer. Time to take it
in by force. Bring in four units and begin the battle.
"Meow" is a tough Coeurl to really control. At 350+ HP, it can also
be a chore to take down. However, with four units, the battle flows
through much quicker. Meow has two Action Abilities. Hastebreak
inflicts Slow status and can break "Haste." Blaster is a ranged
attack that will Petrify if it lands a hit. The latter should be
avoided as best as possible. For "Meow" itself, I'd suggest either
pounding away at his HP or using Petrify. Simply Dooming him would
work too.

This battle would go much quicker if only... the Thief wasn't at

much more powerful one. He has incredibly high attack statistics and
his R-Ability, Counter, puts the pain with every strike you make
against him. Because of that, Archers and Gunners are recommended.
Anyhow, if you bring in two physical units, and a long-range unit,
you should no trouble bringing the notorious Thief, Dabarosa down.
Use Potions often and you should overcome the Fowl Thief and complete
this mission. If you have trouble, you might find it in your best

The battlefield is a major doozy. If you have fought in Sprohm

crazy cliffs are a pain to get around, and unless you have some
ultra-crazy Jump stats, I don't think climbing these things will be
easy. Anyhow, you are allowed six units which is a good number
seeing that your opponent has only three. You will be engaging a
Warrior, a White Mage, and a Thief by the name of Warose, a Clan
Borzoi Capo.
The enemy units are fairly easy, except for the Capo, Warose, of
course. I find it best to take out the White Mage before Warose as
he will constantly heal the rest of the units. If you want to leave
the Thief for last, you can do a number of things; Disabling him,
Immobilizing him, or Blinding him. Either of the three will work, and
by now, you should have access to those kind of abilities. Warose
may look tough, but when you defeat his Warrior and White Mage
backups, he becomes a piece of cake. Capture the Borzoi Capo and
free the conflicting town of Sprohm!

For this next encounter with the notorious Clan Borzoi, you are
going up against Raven the Holy Knight, and his Black Mage teammate.
Only four units are allowed in, so be sure you send in a White Mage
and a long-range unit along with one physical attacker, and a magic-
caster.
The main threat here is Raven. At a whoppin' level 11, he can surely
put the hurt on your units. Because of his two Holy attacks, Saint
Cross and Holy Blade, I find it best to keep your distance for the
time being. Luckily, he only has a Move statistic of 3 so you should
find it fairly easy to stay out of his Holy Blade radius. The Black
Mage is also a threat. Not only does it know powerful Black Magic,
But he is also capable of launching the Blue Mage abilities; Acid and
Matra Magic against you. Be sure you don't land any of your own
magic on him or else you'll be buffetted by your own spells.
Because the Black Mage has low Weapon Defense, I'd suggest sending
your physical units against him. Raven, the Paladin, has strong
Weapon Defense, but his Magic Resistance stats are slightly weaker.
This is where your magic-caster comes in. Use your long-range unit
to throw projectiles at Raven to cut away at his health. Defeat him
to end this Borzoi Capo.

That's right, all magic! And another thing, they are all Borzoi
Capos. Not good.
The White Mage is capable of Esuna and Shell, along with two healing
moves. The Black Mage is fairly powerful with second rate magic
spells (Fira, Thundara, and Blizzara). The Red Mage however, is the
greatest adversary here. Not only does she hold the Doublecast
ability which allows two consecutive spells in the same turn, but
she knows Spirit Magic which can really cripple you.
It's best to take out the Red Mage first as she is the most
versatile. If you want to differ, and take out the White Mage first
so she can't heal, be my guest. Out of all three, the Black Mage,
although powerful, is the least important. Win the battle and drive
Borzoi out of their Nubswood base.

You are up against two Clan Borzoi Capos, so you can expect the

easy to move around in, so you should have some ease taking all
three of them out if you apply yourself correctly. You are allowed
to bring in only four units, so make sure you choose carefully.
First of all, you should note that the Black Mage automatically
starts off with an Auto-Life. Not good. All three of your opponents
are difficult. They all hold powerful abilities, and all but the
Black Mage hold a sub-job as well. The Time Mage can heal his allies,
and the Sniper Capo holds some annoying Archer abilities. Make sure
that the units you choose to bring in are well-trained and powerful.
Focus on the Black Mage or Time Mage first. The Sniper can wait, as
it is the most difficult to kill off. If you have a Bishop who knows
Dispel, or a Ninja that knows Unspell, you could easily remove the
Black Mage's Auto-Life. If anything, the Time Mage has to go fast,
as once it happens to cast Haste on the Sniper, you are in deep
trouble.
If you are smart, you would have already brought in a White Mage.
Make sure that you quickly cast something like Protect or Shell at
the very beginning. Your White Mage should continually heal as
necessary. Defeat the three of them, to wipe out two more Capos.

You start off on the upper level chasing Gukko all the way to here.
Bring in some physical units, plus one or two magic units, and of
course, a White Mage. Your enemies may be pretty heavy with their
attack power, but their abilities aren't anything you haven't seen
yet. However, Gukko the Fighter, has a whopping Attack power of 300!
Therefore, I would strongly suggest you watch out for him. Not only
that, but the S-Ability Doublesword makes his strikes even more
lethal. Some may be able to KO your units with a single hit. All the
more reasons to bring in a White Mage with some sort of reviving
ability!
The Sniper holds a few normal moves, but it is also capable of the
Fencer abilities, Manastrike and Shadowstick which will destroy your
MP, or lower your Speed statistics. The White Monk is another
terribly tough adversary here. While its Attack is not as crazy as
Gukko's, you will still have some trouble around him. Watch out
especially for Earth Render, which can hit every unit standing in
front of him.
Basically, the shorter you cut this battle, the easier it becomes.
You can practically cut the battle in half by going full at their
White Mage. Try to defeat her as soon as possible, and then begin
focusing on the Sniper and White Monk, while running away to stay
out of the Fighter's regular Fight range. Far Fist is still deadly,
but it is far less effective than Gukko's other moves. Therefore,
if you manage to stay far away, Gukko will have to resort to his
ranged attack. When the Sniper, White Monk, and the White Mage have
been taken, go with all your force against Gukko. You should be able
to overpower him enough to defeat him.

Here we are, a Bomb battle just on the outskirts of the Cadoan town.
To prevent them from getting into the city itself, you have to defeat
all of them. However, although four of them play a role as a generic
Bomb, one of them is a Mombomb...
The four regular Bombs are fairly easy to take out. Remember that
these Fire-based creatures are weak against Water or Ice attacks.
They will also heal each other constantly using their Flame Attacks
on each other. This generates another precaution; never use Fire
elemental attacks against these monsters! It will only heal them.
The Mombomb should generate some curiosity. This monster not only
holds the R-Ability, Counter, but also boasts Attack power above the
200 mark! If you brought in Black Mages to take out the Bombs with
their Ice attacks, do not let the Mombomb get too close to you. With
low Defense, the Mombomb's heavy Attack will knock you out usually
in a single blow.

Don't you find it strange that the mission description states the
"The Redwings have reared their ugly head in Cyril" but you are
engaging in the town of Cadoan. Either I'm missing something or this
is one of Square-Enix' bigger mess-ups.
Enter the battlefield, and meet your opposition; two Mog Knights.
You are allowed to bring in up to four members. They don't have to
be your best, as this battle isn't too tough. However, do make sure
that they are at least capable of simple enemy attack. If you want
to end this battle quickly, physical units will rip them to shreads.
Your two Mog Knight opposition are different. The higher level of
the two has the R-Ability, Damage > MP, which converts all HP damage
to MP damage automatically. Not only that, but he holds the Gunner
A-Ability Concentrate, and four Juggler techs which can cause some
problems. The other doesn't have any redeeming R-Abilities other
than Concentrate, but he does have a few status ailmenting Gunmanship
abilities.
Both of these Mog Knights have Attack power around the 220-240 mark.
Magic-casters with weak Defense will fall if you allow them too near
to these heavy attackers. If you need to avoid their Attack
altogether, use long-range units like Archers, Hunters, or Snipers.
Illusionists might work too. Just make sure they are protected.

Lamia (Marilis)
For the first Falgabird, we are engaging against Maralith the Lamia
in the Roda Volcano area. She also holds three Mog Knights as allies
so this battle might prove a bit difficult.
The main difficulty here is not Maralith herself, but rather the
Mog Knights that back her up. The middle one has Counter, along with
some Animist abilities. The right one (Right as in the direction
right that you're clan should be facing at the beginning) holds some
Black Magic techniques and Geomancy to boost their power. The left
one has some Steal techniques including Steal: Weapon which you
really want to watch out for.
The one you should target first would definitely be the Mog Knight
with the Steal: Weapon ability. Therefore, you won't lose any
effective weaponry, as that particular Mog Knight seems to enjoy
frustrating you by stealing your most valuable weapons. Second, I
would suggest Maralith herself. The other two Mog Knights may have
annoying abilities, but Maralith can cast Poison Frog on you, along
with putting your entire clan to sleep.
The key here is to Disable Maralith as quickly as possible. If you
want a longer lasting, yet less effective solution, Blind her
instead. Make sure that you don't put your units into lines, or
group them together, unless you want to feel the wrath of Chocobo
Rush or any Black Magic spells. Defeat everyone and win the mission
along with the Fire Sigil.

It's about time we are put up in one of these battles once again.
Your opponents this time consists of three Lilith which are renamed
the Naga. In fact, these are actually considerably easier than the
Lilith. With whatever whatnot, send in six units and start the
battle.
The main advantage here is that each Naga holds only one A-Ability.
They are Kiss, Poison Frog, and Twister. Normally, a Lilith would
hold all three abilities, but these Naga only hold one of each.
Therefore, taking one out will disable your enemy's abilities to
use that particular move.
With six members, this battle should be fairly easy. The only
difficulty you might have would be their high levels. Cut out all
three of these Magus Sisters to win the mission, and free Baguba
Port from Redwing hold.

Ice Flan (Kraken)
Years ago, a large squid-like monster was supposedly terrorizing the
sea. Its name was Kraken, which is probably where these guys got
the name. First off, a squid in no way, looks at all like an Ice
Flan, so I can beg the question; what the hell were they thinking?
Anyhow, bring in your six units and start the battle against the
Falgabird of wave and water.
Kraken has three Mog Knights to help back him up. For the most part,
their Weapon Attack is fairly high. Not only that, but they actually
carry well-rounded items! Some of it may actually be worth stealing
to sell later on. Your enemies hold both Charge and Gunmanship. Mog
Attack damages and pushes units back, Mog Aid heals HP, Mog Lance
is another long-range attack, and Mog Rush is an all-or-nothing
strike similar to the Beatdown ability.
Lucky for you, the Mog Knight's Gunmanship abilities aren't long
range, and they don't hold Concentrate. In terms of Gunmanship
A-Ability, they have the three elemental shots, as well as a few
status ailmenting shots including, but not limited to; Stopshot,
Blindshot, Silenshot, Confushot, and Charmshot. Most of the time
however, they don't use them.
Kraken himself isn't your ordinary Ice Flan, although he still is
that easy to destroy with magic spells. If you look at his Defense,
you will see that it's high up in the 800 area. Only an idiot would
attempt to bring down its health with regular weapon strikes. If you
bring in a high-powered Black Mage or some other magic caster, you
should be able to bring down Kraken in one or two hits.
If you want to avoid Kraken's ice techniques, I'd suggest you send
a powered Thundaga or Firaga strike at him. With Kraken's Magic
Power, a taste of his Blizzaga can become deadly. Don't let the
Mog Knights take advantage of you either. This isn't a "defeat the
boss to win" mission, so if you defeat Kraken, but you lost most of
your units, you might not win it.

Thundrake (Tiamat)
If you already completed the other Sigil missions, this one should
not be as tough. As you already know, the Falgabirds take the form
of certain monsters throughout FFTA except they hold higher stats
and more powerful abilities. For the Wind Sigil, we are faced against
a Thundrake, and believe me, it is no pushover Thundrake.
Three Mog Knights also populate the enemy force. Bring in six of
your units to start the battle. Make sure that they are powerful
enough to take on a heavy-stat monster as Tiamat. The enemy Mog
Knights will probably pose a threat as well. Regular Charge attacks
include Mog Attack which pushes units back after damaging them, Mog
Lance which is a ranged attack, Mog Aid which heals HP, and Mog
Rush which deals heavy damage at a low hit rate.
The Mog Knight's Gunmanship techniques can become increasingly
tough to counteract. You have the normal elemental shots along with
some others. In short, these Mog Knights can possibly Confuse, Charm,
Stop, Blind, and Silence you. Luckily, they don't hold any ranged
weapon, and Concentrate isn't with them this time. Also, they don't
normally use Gunmanship techniques so you won't have to worry too
much.
Finally, Tiamat himself can pose quite a threat to your team. With
a Weapon Attack power in the 270s, he can pose quite a threat with
his attacks. Not only that, but Tiamat is also capable of unleashing
Dragon Force which raises all his stats to cause you even more
trouble. Bolt Breath is the standard Dragoon ability, and Geomancy
powers Bolt Breath up even more.
You should definitely focus on Tiamat for the most part here. You
DO NOT want to get hit with a Bolt Breath attack after a few Dragon
Force ups and Geomancy. The Mog Knights can pose a slight threat
with Mog Rush, but if you Blind or simply Disable them, they won't
hurt you. Defeat every single enemy to beat the great Tiamat Dragoa
and the Wind Sigil.

Zombie (Lich)
The Earth Sigil is held by a Zombie. Lich de Mort is yet another
Falgabird. Three Mog Knights support him as allies. Bring in your
six units (Holy units are very useful here), and prepare for battle
and the Earth Sigil.
You should make sure that your units are capable of taking down the
three Mog Knights along with Lich as well. Therefore, you shouldn't
bring in any weak members as you will definitely want the edge in
battle here. Your three Mog Knights hold the standard Charge
abilities which include Mog Aid, a healing move; Mog Rush, a heavy
damage attack; Mog Attack, which pushes units back one square; and
Mog Lance, a ranged attack.
With the addition to that, the Mog Knights not only hold Gunmanship
techniques, but Stunt abilities as well! This battle differs from the
last three Sigil battles in this way. While they hadn't held
Concentrate before, now they do, and with Mog Rush, they can surely
bring the pain down. Watch out for their status ailmenting attacks
and get them down as quickly as possible.
Lich de Mort himself is just a minor Zombie with some slightly higher
Weapon Attack power. The fact that he is an Undead creature however
gives you both advantages and disadvantages. First off, all Holy
moves will deal double damage, or White Mage abilities will hurt
instead of heal. However, you might want to leave Lich for last as
he can also regenerate within three turns. His techniques include
Drain Touch which steals your HP, Miasma which Poisons, and the
standard R-Ability, Counter.
You can attempt to tackle this battle from different directions.
For example, Disabling the Mog Knights will keep them at bay. You
can also Charm them to hurt each other. If these kind of moves are
not available to you now, using simple Fight moves swiftly should
KO them quickly. Therefore, I would suggest bringing in mostly
physical units for that. Lich is easily defeated, but I'd suggest
you wait until all three Mog Knights are gone as he can regenerate
obviously.

Paladin (Glasm)
Now hold your horses for a moment. I thought that Grissom was a
Dark Knight rather than a Paladin. Even stranger, his battle name
appears to be Glasm rather than Glissom. Whatever, I'm not here to
question the game, so just bring in some strong units (This battle
is tough), and prepare yourself for battle.
Two Mog Knights and two Defenders hold the title as "Glasm's" allies
here. Seeing as you are fighting the Redwings boss right here, you
can expect them to be his best elite troops. That is, for the most
part, true. You have the Mog Knights holding some Charge abilities
including Mog Attack, Mog Lance, Mog Aid, and Mog Rush. Not only
that, but they also hold Stunt and Gunmanship abilities. You would
want to watch out particularly for Stunt as you can get Stopped,
Berserked, Confused, and Disabled fairly quickly. And with
Concentrate learned, they can only get tougher.
Although the Mog Knights are tough, the Defenders are even tougher.
Defend, in itself, is already an ability-type held in high esteem.
They do hold heavy Attack power, and when that is increased with the
destructive capabilities of Mow Down, you can expect some pain right
off the bat. Also, you have some Spellblade Techniques which make
up the three elemental blades, and the Dragoon elemental breath
attacks. You might find it best to take out these Defenders as
quickly as humanly (Or Viera-ly, or Moogle-ly, or Bangaa-ly, or
Nu Mou-ly) possible.
The real deal here is Glasm himself. What would you expect anyhow?
He is the Redwings' boss for God's sake! Chivalry abilities consist
of a healing move, Nurse, the Holy-damage Saint Cross, and the
incredibly powerful Holy Blade. Glasm also has a few Aim tricks up
his sleeve to further show you his power. Weapon Def+ will make it
even harder than it already is to take him down.
Units capable of status ailments are a must here. You WILL want to
Disable or Blind Glasm as quickly as possible. In fact, you can
simply Disable or Blind the rest of the group, and focus only on
Glasm as he is the "Boss" after all, and the objective is; Defeat the
"Boss." However powerful his Defense stays with Weapon Def+, he
would not be able to survive six units by himself while the rest of
his team wanders aimlessly around Blinded or Disabled. This is a
fun battle, but don't let your guard down.

Assassin x2 (Celia, Redy)
I'll just assume that an Ark Knight is a Clan Borzoi's special
term for Templar. And geez, they make it sound so cool. Anyhow,
we're engaging some more Clan Borzoi scum here in Muscadet. Up
against two deadly Assassins and an "Ark Knight," bring in powerful
units and prepare for battle. Well, it should be three versus six.
Give it a bit of thought though. Obviously, these three are a bit
on the upper step compared to the normal engagements you might
partake in. Nevertheless, a good effort will kick them out of the
way.
The Assassin on the left is the last one in terms of Weapon Attack.
However, know that she is the only enemy this time capable of using
a ranged weapon. Therefore, that Assassin can easily Stop your units
from a distance with Shadowbind. Even worse, you can easily be KOed
with Last Breath and Aphonia Silences. Concentrate makes avoiding
her moves even more difficult. The way I choose to take her on is
through stealing the Master Bow. Therefore, her Weapon Attack goes
down drastically, and she'll be forced to play hand-to-hand.
The opposite Assassin has much higher Weapon Attack and a very
powerful weapon, the Masamune (I can already hear all you Chrono
Trigger players). Nightmare puts units to Sleep and Dooms them.
Ague Slows down units and Rockseal will Petrify. Along with that,
she is also fitted with Sharpshoot techniques. Beso Toxico damages
and Poisons. Death Sickle will inflict Doom status. Prevent her
from using the latter move too often. In fact, I'd just suggest you
Disable her altogether to avoid those terribly annoying moves.
And finally, we have our "Ark Knight." His line-up consists of
standard Templar techniques. There's nothing that you haven't really
seen already. Beware of Bonecrusher however. If he lands a counter-
blow on you, that's 1.5x his Weapon Attack. Even worse, with Weapon
Atk+, he can deal quite a bit of damage. Take him down quickly and
rid this battle of that monster and Clan Borzoi altogether. Clan
Borzoi forever! Not.

a high-leveled snake-woman freak. Apart from that, her abilities

Bring in four members. I strongly suggest long-range. Hunters work
even better because they have techniques that are very anti-monster.
You might also want to bring in an Archer to Blind or Disable the
Queen Lamia. Anyhow, this gigantic Lamia's ability line-up consists
of Night which puts all units to Sleep, Hand Slap which deals damage
and delays the turn, and Poison Frog which Poisons and of course,
turns one of your own into a Frog.
Night is completely with the Queen Lamia in this case. Because of
the fact that this is a four-on-one fight, Night can only affect
your team. Apart from that, you might want to watch out for Poison
Frog. Beware of the Queen Lamia's high Weapon Attack. That means
don't be stupid and trigger her Counter ability every single turn.

The second of the Foreign Fiends is a giant Blade Biter going by the
title of Adamantoise. With exception Weapon Attack and Defense, you
might have some trouble getting through this one. Be sure you bring
in a few magic-casting units, as that Weapon Defense is going to be
hard to crack.
The Adamantoise, apart from sounding much more intimidating, is
basically the same thing as a Blade Biter. Not only do they have the
same sprites, but their abilities are the same. Limit Glove is the
same ol', same ol' critical HP --> 999 HP damage --> ownage. Munch
gives me a lot of problems as it breaks weapons. When my valuable
weapons are broken apart, I usually restart the battle. Resonate
Disables all physical units.
Let's compare Weapon Defense and Magic Resistance. The latter is
about 300 points less. Obviously, you should be able to find the
weakness here. However, most magic-casting units are weak in terms
of Weapon Defense. If you do send in magic units, make sure that
they won't be pummeled to pieces. A dead unit is a useless unit.
Bringing in a White Mage just in case wouldn't be a bad idea.

For the last Foreign Fiend fight, you are up against two super-

mission stated very clear there was only one monster. Unless some
people can't count or the Neochu had an offspring (highly unlikely),
the mission description is just a mistake on the game's part.
Anyhow, these two Malboros hold the same ability set-up as their
respected Malboro or Big Malboro counterparts. The Ochu holds all
Malboro techniques which include: Goo and Bad Breath. The latter
is capable of inflicting a large number of status ailments on you
at once. I should not be the only one who thinks this is NOT cool.
The Neochu differs from the Ochu with a few different abiliities.
Most noticeably, Goo is replaced with Soundwave which Dispels status
enhancements.
As you should already know, all Malboro suck in terms of Speed.
If you are smart enough to bring in speedy units, the battle
advantage is given to you. Not to say that this battle is THAT
tough anyway. Watch out for Bad Breath and pound away these two
creatures to complete this Foreign Fiend mission.

Ooh, I like the look and mood of this battle. The old, stone area
sets the atmospheric effect for the final Foreign Fiend, the Dread
Lord. Seeing as he is the Lord of the Vampires, you can't possibly
expect him to be a pushover now? Maybe he is. Bring in four units
and begin the battle.
The Dread Lord is basically another Vampire. The only noticeable
difference is the VERY high Weapon Attack. A single strike from the
Dread Lord will most likely KO most units. Abilities consist of
LV? S-Flare which deals Dark damage to all units with the same one's
digits as the Dread Lord. Miasma deals damage and Poisons while
Zombify inflicts Zombie status.
Look at this creature's Weapon Defense and Magic Resistance. This
should really knock you off your feet. Both values are in the 500s
meaning that damaging this Dread Lord will not be easy. Therefore,
you will find that abilities with set damage values like Demi or
Gil Toss will be very effective. Holy spells from White Mages or
the Paladin's Holy Blade deal extra damage as well. Expect this
battle to take a VERY long time.

Vampire (Gutskor)
It's not fair. Gukko, even though he lost terribly, gets to come
back in a Vampire form with a cool new name, Gutskor. Marche however
is still his old snobby self despite the fact that he owns the most
powerful clan in all of Ivalice. Jealousy aside, it's time, once
again to push this monstrosity out of Ivalice once, and finally, for
all.
Gutskor has on his side, two Apandas and two Archademons. They
basically are Ahrimans and Icedrakes with cooler names because they
are Gutskor's monsters. They have the same sprite, and even better,
also have the SAME abilities as their lesser monster class. Both
Apandas excel in Weapon Attack. Their ability to fly above the rest
of the group makes it so that surrounding one wouldn't be enough to
trap them in.
For the Apandas (Geez, this is getting annoying calling them that),
you'd probably know that Roulette is problematic in itself. Once
casted, a random unit on the map will be KOed automatically. You
can usually tell when one will use it as the Ahriman (Apanda to
remain consistent) will most likely fly to a corner or an isolated
area. The faster you get rid of that Apanda, the less of a danger
the battle will pose.
The two Archademons have incredibly high Weapon Attack. A single
strike will most likely KO one of your weaker units. Therefore, you
might find it best to pelt them from far away through ranged
attacks. Try not to group your units together as Ice Breath will
be as annoying as ever. "T"-formations are the worst thing you
could possibly create. As you already know, Breath attacks damage
within a "T"-radius.
Gutskor himself is now a Vampire living the jet-set. If you left him
for last with a legitimate amount of units still alive, then a few
strikes should bring him down. Seeing as he's a Vampire, killing him
off first would be fairly stupid as he revives within three turns
anything. Of his abilities, watch out especially for Zombify. Holy
attacks work wonders against him. Likewise, you can easily deal
heavy damage with normally beneficial White Magic spells.

Enemies: WorldWyrm (Ogma)
Even after defeating Remedi, you still have many challenges ahead
of you. The Worldwyrm is a powerful Thundrake that threatens the
livelihood of all Ivalice. Currently making a ruckus in his cave
at Roda Volcano, it is a matter of hours before he begins his
rampage. Your clan has been fitted to put him back to sleep. Bring
in four trustworthy units to go against this powerful monster. This
isn't your ordinary monster round-up...
At lvl.46, Ogma the Thundrake is one heck of a Dragon. His Weapon
Attack and Defense will go through the roof. Judging from his HP,
cutting away at his health will be a problem just as well. While
Ogma's regular attacks will generate enough power to KO most units
within a single strike, Bolt Breath provides a much larger area of
affect. In fact, if you position all four of units in a "T"-
formation (of which is a very stupid thing to do), the Worldwyrm
can actually blow all of them down with Bolt Breath.
A good mix of magic and physical strength is required here. Balance
your units so that if one fails, the other could follow-up and
hopefully finish Ogma off. I'd suggest casting Protect or increasing
Defense before sending a unit off on an offensive against Ogma.
A White Mage is very useful for that purpose. As a side note, be
sure not to use Lightning attacks against Ogma. As a Thundrake, he
won't be hurt at all.

Well what do you know? It appears as if Montblanc has been tricked

been expecting this drastic change of heart. Montblanc's lover is
nothing more than a trick. Bring in five units in addition to
the now heart-broken Montblanc and begin the battle against these
trickers.
A Thief will most likely take the first turn for this battle. As a
Thief, you should know to beware his steal techniques. Watch out for
Steal: Weapon if you are bearing any rare pieces of weaponry you
woul rather keep. The nearby Juggler is problematic with a few of
his Stunt techniques. Specifically speaking, Hurl, Ring, Ball and
Smile. Ring can be annoying as it Stops a unit. Smile, when thrown
at an ally, will Quicken.
The Time Mage and Black Mage can co-exist. The latter can throw
very high-powered spells at you. Firaga, Thundaga, and Blizzaga can
cut HP out very, very fast. The Time Mage can become with Haste and
Stop. Avoid throwing magic spells at that unit as Return Magic will
slingshot it right back at you.

Well, all leading clans will eventually have some sort of rebellion
or uprising occur against them. For this battle, you are up against
five bosses from various clans that have created a team to fight
you. However, with you at the wheel, their futile attempts for
control will only fail.
The Ba Boss plays a role as a Paladin and the pseudo-leader of this
uprising. As a Paladin, his abilities are obviously powerful. With
high Weapon Attack, he can become threatening to your group. Holy
Blade should be avoided obviously. The Hel Boss' job is a Summoner.
Capable of casting various Summon techniques, she will pose a
threat. Remember that Summon magic is capable of hitting units two
tiles out from center and one diagonally.
Next in line, the Fes Boss is just inching to get a taste of your
blade. As a White Mage, you might want to take that unit down before
he can heal his group. With a White Mage down, your opponents will
be easier to defeat. The Gelm Boss is a Bangaa that will be sure
to prove a problem with heavy Weapon Attack. Earth Render will be
annoying as it deals damage to all units standing directly in front
of him. Finally, the Kagle Boss, playing as a Nu Mou Sage will be
the main magic-caster. Giga Flare is a high-MP spell that deals
incredible damage to a group of units.

Enemies: Fighter
Here's to a cocky Fighter who believes that he can take on the
strongest clan in all of Ivalice. With a one on one fight, the
Fighter might win, but you are bringing in four of your most trusted
clan members (I hope). Seriously, how hard can one Fighter be with
four units to your disposal?
Sir Fighter here lies at a pretty high level. His Weapon Attack and
Weapon Defense are incredibly high so you might want to watch out
whenever he rears up to strike. Air Blast and Backdraft can deal
incredible damage if he chooses to use them. Along with that, the
Fighter can also Immobilize, Disable, and bypass R-Abilities through
some Aim techniques. Strikeback nullifies incoming Fight moves right
off the bat so don't even try.
However, if you look at his stats again, you should notice that
Magic Resistance is nearly an entire 100 points below Weapon
Defense. If you can possibly bring in some magic units that can
take his initial punishment, you will be rewarded. Take advantage
of the incredibly low (compared to Weapon Defense at least) Magic
Resistance and blast him away.

Here, you are up against a special breed of Lamia known as the
"Inverlilith." Despite the different name, I don't see too much of a
difference between ol' Snake-Lady here and some regulary Lilith.
Get four members into the battle, and prepare for a fight.
Inverlilith here has a few abilities which might cause you some
problems. Twister is probably one who hadn't seen yet. If you allow
this creature to get within a few tiles of you, it is capable of
using a Twister-attack which knocks off 1/2 of your HP, which when
used against a high-HP unit as a Defender, becomes incredibly
annoying. Not only that, but she can also Block Arrows, and use
Kiss, which Charms and Dooms you.
If you want to avoid this Inverlilith altogether, I strongly suggest
you take it out as quickly as possible with high Attack Power. Arrows
won't work here, but a Gunner wouldn't hurt. The best you can
probably do would be to round up a Beastmaster, and attempt to
Control it every turn to avoid its powerful attacks.

Mamaflan (Mamaflan)
Constantly, you will be meeting special monsters that are higher
level and more powerful than the rest of the monster race. In this
case, the Mamaflan (It looks like a Cream) will be your troublemaker
and the ringleader of this group of Flan. Judging from past
experience, I'd suggest you would bring in some magic units. Already
knew that? Haha, you joker.
High-powered Black Mages would be useful here. However, any magic
can do damage to Flan, so bring in the best you can get. Your
Mamaflan has a few allies. The Jelly are capable of using Firaga
as well as Sacrifice, a self KO move to heal another, and Acid,
a move which inflicts a random status ailment on you. The Ice Flans
hold Blizzaga obviously, and Sacrifice and Acid as well.
For the Big Bertha of this Flan clan (Hah, that rhymes), you might
find it a bit difficult. The Mamaflan is the only Cream on the
field with some Magic Power almost reaching 300. Mamaflan here is
much more versatile with higher Speed (Although not enough to
make a difference) and both Sacrifice and Acid. Also, Thundaga can
hurt quite a bit if you aren't careful.
There is one thing you can do to fail this mission: bringing in
all physical units. Think about it, what are you going to do against
a bunch of 900-Weapon Defense Flans? With lower Magic Resistance,
you can easily break them apart with magic. The most practical would
be the Black Mage in this case. Ice the Mamaflan, Thunder against
the Jellies, and Fire against the Ice Flans. If you are powerful
enough, you should be able to take the Flans out within a single
strike.

Well, here we are engaging a Jawbreaker that someone obviously
failed to keep under control. Our mission is easy enough to
understand; take down that Jawbreaker. Bring in four units and
begin the battle.
As a level 34 Jawbreaker, this summoned monster might be a tough
cookie to take down. Weapon Attack is in the 450s range. Rather
than using abilities, this Jawbreaker will prefer to take you
down with sheer force rather than trickery. Even so, LV3 Def-less
will only hurt your chances by taking down the Defense and
Resistance of all units with levels divisible by three. Suffocate
deals damage and delays turn.
Singlehandedly, this battle might pose a threat. However, with
four against one odds, the difficulty is lifted a little bit. Take
advantage of Kaikirith's lower Magic Resistance and pound its
position with high-powered magic spells. Simply sending in strike
after strike will do well. This is a very easy battle.

Ninja x3 (Hanzou)
I guess you had never imagined a clan full of Ninjas and Assassins.
Obviously, that kind of clan will be one toughie to defeat. The
Shadow Clan here is a perfect example. The fight takes place in
Jagd Ahli to make it even more dangerous.
Your enemies consist of three Ninjas including the boss, Hanzou, and
two Assassins. If you aren't fast enough in taking all five of these
down, time will run against you. The two Assassins are the main
problem as they can use both Sharpshoot and Corner techniques.
There are a few moves you want to avoid particularly. Rockseal can
Petrify units into stone. Shadowbind can Stop units. Nightmare
inflicts Sleep and Doom. The most dangerous of them all however,
is Last Breath. Especially in a Jagd area, Last Breath provides an
instant KO.
The Ninjas rely more on physical Weapon Attack than abilities. The
only non-Double Sword Ninja is the boss himself, Hanzou. However, he
can easily make up for that through Turbo MP and Phantasm Skill. The
other Ninjas can deal heavy damage through Double Sword which
basically enables them to hold two weapons. The one with Blue Magic
should be taken down as soon as possible. If you can, Silence both
Ninjas to avoid their magic.
The mission objective is to take down the Shadow Clan boss, Hanzou.
Defeat him, and the battle is over.

will deal incredible damage with the high Weapon Attack he bears.

Once you locate the group of monsters on the world map, Marche will

Select Capture, and prepare for an engagement with the group of
escaped monsters.
This is a simple monster battle up against these four. Bring in six
units and engage. I'd suggest bringing in a Hunter with Capture if
you actually want any new monsters. If you haven't caught a Coeurl
yet, now would be a really good time to. The most difficult enemy
here thus far would be the Coeurl in the back. You will want to
avoid Blaster the best you possibly can.
The Ahriman doesn't pose too much of a threat. Circle might be
annoying, but it holds low Attack power so you shouldn't have too
much trouble with it. The Big Malboro is a whole different story
however. Bad Breath is one of the most annoying moves in the game,
as it is capable of inflicting a number of status ailments on you
at one turn. Finally, the Red Cap can be slightly dangerous, but
nothing special.
Defeat all monsters to win. If you want to capture, go ahead and
use that Hunter. Defeat (or capture) all monsters to win the
mission.

This is just like a normal clan engagement. You are up against a
clan of six who aren't too tough. Their Black Mage in the rear should
not be much of a problem as he only knows third-rate Black Magic.
However, the Warrior, Thief, and the Archer might cause some problems
against you. You will want to particularly watch out for some of
their abilities. The Warrior's Greased Bolt is incredibly annoying,
and the Archer holds Cupid, a move which inflicts Charm status on
your units.
Target the White Mage first and then begin focusing on the Thief and
the Archer. Once those three are defeated, take out the Warrior in
the back and of course, finish off the Black Mage. If you let this
battle run too slowly, it will become much harder. Basically, the

Firewyrm x2
Thundrake x2
Find the blue soldier on the map (This is kind of contradictory as
you are searching for dragons) and run into him. Obviously, seeing
as dragons aren't very negotiating creatures, you automatically get
sent into battle without a second thought. Well, I guess it's time
to stop these wyrms.
In this particular battle, you are facing the wyrms of every
element (Fire, Ice, Thunder). Therefore, if you are sending in a
Black Mage, be sure he is capable of casting all three elements.
Along with some magic-casters, I would suggest a few physical units
thrown around in there somewhere to comprehend with the Dragons'
heavy Weapon Attack. These Dragons aren't easy, so be sure your
units are well-leveled and equipped.
First things first, the single Icedrake is one of the most difficult
to defeat of this crowd. With heavy Weapon Attack, you can be sure
that it can deal quite some damage. In terms of abilities: Mighty
Guard raises Resistance and Defense, and Ice Breath delivers an icy
aura. Both Firewyrms hold Guard-Off which throws off the Defense
and Resistance of one of your units along with Fire Breath which
is self-explanatory. Finally, the Thundrakes have Dragon Force which
increases Attack and Power, along with you guessed it, Bolt Breath.
There really is no secret in terms of defeating these Dragons.
Both Magic Power and Weapon Attack work fine, but I find it best to
mix them together. Just remember that the Icedrake isn't effected
by Ice attacks, the Firewyrms aren't effected by Fire attacks, and
the Thundrakes aren't effected by Thunder attacks. Apart from that,
you can just go crazy.

Sage (Auggie)
Professor Auggie, after the Tubola Cave experience, has apparently
made himself rich through discovering a mythril vein. Approach his
group on the world map and he will offer to sell you some mythril
for 10,000 Gil. Since it is so much more easier just taking it,
select "Just take it." Seeing as we had saved Professor Auggie from
trouble two times in a row already, we are to punish his
ungratefulness. An act of treason? Nah, we just need the mythril.
All aquaintenances aside, bring in six units and engage Auggie's
team.
Auggie's team is evenly mixed between physical and magic. The Viera
Fencer will most likely pose the least threat to your team. Although
excelling in Weapon Attack, she fails to deliver a large enough
threat. Swallowtail deals damage to all surrounding units,
Piercethrough mimics a spear jab extending two tiles ahead, and
Nighthawk is a standard ranged attack. Fight moves won't work either
as Reflex will simply nullify them.
The other pseudo-physical unit is the Moogle Juggler. For a Juggler,
he has surprisingly, fairly high Speed stats. As a Juggler, he can
become a major danger especially with Ring which Stops units right
in their tracks or Dagger which damages and Disables. Firebomb can
be threatening against those units that don't rely on Fight moves,
Ball Confuses on contact, and Smile automatically gives an ally the
next turn.
Professor Auggie's right-hand-man is an Illusionist. His Phantasm
Skill consists of Star Cross which deals Holy damage to all units,
Stardust which rains meteors on all units, Soil Evidence which deals
Earth damage to all units, and Wild Tornado which deals Wind damage
to all units. However, the Illusionist does have a weakness. Because
of the high cost of MP for each Phantasm Skill, taking out his MP
should disable him.
Auggie himself is a disappointment somewhat. Being the super-Sage
he should be, his abilities state otherwise. However, that doesn't
mean that you shouldn't watch out for him. Water and Aero are the
two standard offensive spells. They shouldn't pose much of a threat.
Giga Flare on the other hand is much more devastating. Don't group
your units together or you will fall to a full-powered Giga Flare
blast.
Because of the fact that your opponents are evenly mixed in magic
and physical attacks, dealing with them all at once can be dificult.
You might find it better to work in steps. For example, casting
Reflect on an ally will disable magic spells against that unit. Take
out the physical units and the Reflected unit will be invincible
against magic spells. Defeat all enemies and steal Auggie's mythril.
Heheh.

Find those scoop stealers and they will offer to give you an amount

this is going to be easy.
We are up against five opponents. Bring in six of your own and
start the engagement. You are up against a Fencer, a Warrior, a
Soldier, two Thieves, and a White Monk. The first of them, the
Viera Fencer has only three abilities. Swallowtail is a radius-
damage, Piercethrough is basically a Rapier thrusting two tiles
out like a Spear, and Nighthawk is a ranged attack similar to
Mog Lance or Air Render.
The Bangaa White Monk might pose a threat (It wouldn't even be a
threat if you know what you're doing). Earth Render damages all
enemies lined up directly in front of him, Chakra is a self-heal
move, Revive brings up his allies obviously, and finally, Holy
Sign basically Dispels all status enhancements from your allie, so
don't think you can get through that with your status enhancers.
Both Thieves have some standard Steal abilities. You do not want
them taking any valuable items from you. Luckily, they can't Steal
abilities nor weapons. Further ahead, you might find a Soldier.
Luckily, he won't pose any danger whatsoever. His techniques
consists of First Aid, Mug, and Provoke. Unless he happens to
Berserk your entire team, I doubt you will find him too much of a
threat.
This is an easy battle at this point. Your enemies are lacking in
abilities obviously. Use whatever stance you'd like and drop all
enemies to get that scoop back. Well, at least you saved Baguba's
scoop. Yay...!

We suspect a clan is smuggling rare monsters in boxes, but we can't
move until we have proof! Can you look into it?

Enemies: Hunter
Beastmaster
Malboro x2
Mystery Box x2
Find the blue wanderer on the world map, and run into him to stop
him. Like so many previous encounters, the Nu Mou will attempt to
bribe you by offering Chocobo Skin. Because we can take the Chocobo
Skin along with defeating these smugglers, you should take the
"Sorry, no deal" selection. Engage of course.
Let's see here. What exactly proves to us that the particular
Beastmaster that attempted to bribe us before really was smuggling
some illegal monsters? Well, unless our Nu Mou friend likes to send
Mexican jumping beans in boxes, you can nearly be sure that those
crates hold some not-so-legal creatures. And yet, he still claims
he has nothing. Bring in six units and prepare yourselves for the
inevitable battle.
The only two units in this battle you should really take too
seriously would be the Beastmaster and the Hunter. The two Malboros
are easily Disabled or Blinded so you can bypass them for the
moment. The Nu Mou of this battle may not hold any A-Abilities
apart from a few useless Control abilities. His Weapon Attack is
in the 300s which is probably higher than your physical units at
the moment. Just stay far away without letting him get a strike on
you.
The Hunter is a whole different story however. His Weapon Attack
is very high and can possibly KO your weaker units within a single
shot. In terms of Hunt abilities, he holds Sonic Boom, an aura
damaging shot which can easily cripple your units if you happen to
place them around in large groups. Aim: Vitals inflicts a random
status ailment, and Addle disallows your unit to use A-Abilities.
Obviously, Weapon Atk+ makes this Hunter's arrows even more deadly.
The Malboros play no more than cannon fodder in this battle. Bad
Breath is an annoying move though. Once its in range, the enemy
Malboro can use Bad Breath to inflict a number of status ailments
on you at a time. Although particularly exasperating, it's nothing
that an Esuna spell or a Cureall can't heal. Along with that, Goo
can Immobilize you.
That pretty much sums it up for the real opponents. If you are
lucky, the Hunter will be the closest enemy. You should take him
out before he happens to pick apart your team one by one. The
Beastmaster, as explained before, holds high Attack Power so you
might want to use ranged attacks or send units with heavy Weapon
Defense. Once the threats are destroyed, you can simply demolish
the boxes to capture this particular smuggling group.
#106 Resistance ~

Time Mage
Thief (Thomson)
Find the traveling Law Card carrier, and he will offer a trade for
his Antilaw versus your Pheonix Down. Since we like fighting so
much, we prefer to get our Antilaw for free. Demand and you will
engage.
Eh, this battle shouldn't be much trouble for you. It's six of your
members against a group of four. Your enemies consist of three
physical units along with a Time Mage, who is probably just there
for kicks. The closest enemy to you as of the start is a Warrior.
He has both Warrior abilities, and some Gladiator A-Abilities as
well. The Fighter has fairly high attack power, and the Thief knows
the Ninja A-Ability, Throw.
Focus on the Time Mage, as it is the easiest to take out. The Warrior
should also be prioritized. Your opponents here are really pretty
easy. Defeat all four, and you can take that Antilaw for free,
instead of having to "pay" for your advantage.

Antlion
Blade Biter
Once you find Ritz, Marche will denote the fact that she seems
worried. Then he goes all off-topic about a Blue Rose calming the
soul. Anyway, if you have a Blue Rose, give it to Ritz for an
Allmighty antilaw. Either way, you engage so whatever.
This mission is easy mainly because you have Ritz's entire clan on
your side. Your enemies consist of three monsters. The Bomb is a
standard-issue monster holding Flame Attack obviously. The Antlion
is also fairly weak with LV3 Def-less (lowers Defense and Resistance
of units with levels divisible by 3) and Sandstorm. The Blade Biter
is the main problem obviously. Even so, it isn't that tough. Munch
breaks your ally's weapons so beware. Limit Glove deals 999 damage
when the Blade Biter is critical.
The Antlion and Bomb are easy enough to defeat no matter what you
throw against them. Like all Rockbeast, the Blade Biter has
exceptional Weapon Defense, but it lacks in Magic Resistance.
Use high-powered magic spells against it to save Ritz's clan and
receiving the Beastspear.
#108 Poachers ~

Gunner x2
Hunter x2
Hmph, poachers huh? Find the walking group along the world map, and
he'll offer to sell you a skin for 3,000 Gil. Since we don't like
paying for our stuff, let's start by giving him the cold eye. Prepare
for a fight.
Take a look from the start of the battle to learn that every single
one of your enemies is capable of long-range attack! With that, you
shouldn't bother with trying to Immobilize a unit as they will be
able to attack you anyhow. Bring in six units and get the battle
started.
Your enemies here consist of two Gunners, two Archers, and two
Hunters. The Archers hold a few status ailmenting abilities including
Aim: Legs which Immobilizes, Aim: Arm which Disables, and Cupid which
Charms. They also hold Concentrate which greatly increases their
accuracy. Therefore, the chances of them landing a Cupid on you are
pretty high. Both Archers should be prioritized.
Our Gunners are also very dangerous. They hold status ailmenting
shots just as well and are capable of Confusing, Charming, Blinding,
and Silencing your units. Like the other Archers, they also hold
Concentrate which automatically boosts their accuracy up. The Hunters
have Sonic Boom, a ranged attack with a damage radius, Advice which
increases an ally's critical hit percentage, and Auto-Regen which
annoyingly heals their HP every turn.
As I said, the Gunners and Archers should be taken out first so you
won't have to deal with their status ailments later. It would be
wise to bring in a White Mage capable of healing status as Charm
can seriously hurt you. Watch out for the Hunter's heavy Attack
power, and basically, keep your units alive to defeat these poachers
and get the Tiger Hide.

Ice Flan
Like the other Encounter missions, you are looking for a certain
figure on the world map. Find the Snow Fairy, and she'll hit a
wave of nostalgia. Choose "No sweets!" and engage.
You are up against the Snow Fairy along with two of her icy friends.
Bring in six units. Now wait just a second, did I say six units
against three weakling monsters? Yes, you will find that this battle
is very simple indeed. Your Snow Fairy holds only White Wind and
Counter while the Grenade has Chill and Blowup. The Ice Flan has
Acid and Blizzard.
This mission is a joke. There's no trick here, but to simply defeat
everyone. Don't forget to use ONLY magic on the Ice Flan. Defeat
every monster on the battlefield to win this very, very easy
mission.

Gladiator
Black Mage
Fighter x2 (Weaver)
If you waited until much later in the game to complete this mission,
this battle will be very easy. Anyhow, Weaver is a vengeful Fighter
who will stop at nothing to slay the man who was responsible for his
family's death. Before he turns into a homicidal maniac, we better
stop him.
Weaver's group is well-balanced... sort of. The Archer is the long-
ranged attacker of this group. Aim: Legs and Aim: Arms are very
annoying as they are capable of Immobilizing and Disabling you.
The Bangaa Gladiator has legitimate Weapon Attack (for a Gladiator)
along with the three Spellblades. If you have any elemental
weaknesses, you'd probably want to avoid Fire Sword, Bolt Sword, or
Ice Sword.
The Black Mage can become problematic, but he is easily defeated
if you chase him. The double-Fighters are very dangerous. Weaver,
the boss must be defeated to complete the mission. Weapon Atk+ makes
him dangerous to your group. Weaver is easily stopped if you push
all effort against him.

The mail deliverers really want to finish their jobs, so you can
expect they won't just hand it to you. Prepare for an engagement.
You are up against five enemy units at the moment. For the most part,
they are generic jobs without any redeeming qualities. You might
have some trouble with the Gunner and his Charmshot, Confushot, etc.
A-Abilities. He also holds Concentrate, but if you can possibly
Blind him, he will be much easier to avoid. The enemy units hold
many abilities, but nothing you haven't seen before. Take out all of
them and retrieve the mail. Easy.

or face engagement. If you are a girly-man, you probably chose to
join their clan, which will not only fail you the mission, but change
your clan title to Baham. Pfft, time to engage.
This battle is not too hard, but it can cause some trouble. The
main problem here is the Soldier, Mintz. Yes, he's the annoying one
who actually acts as if he has a chance against you. Beware of the
fact that Mintz has not only the four statistic "Break" attacks, but
some Fighter techs too. The Black Mage and the Thief should be
neglected for the most part, as they don't hold anything redeeming
or any noticeable abilities. The Archer can become particularly
annoying with Aim: Arm, Aim: Leg, and his S-Ability, Concentrate,
really can mess you up when comboed with those status ailmenting
Aim attacks.
Take out the Archer first obviously, followed by the White Mage.
If Mintz ever gets in your path, take him down as quickly as
possible. With the Archer and Mintz down, the battle will be very
easy. A cakewalk. Defeat all of your enemies and win the mission
to keep your clan title!
