Introduction| ---------------- This guide will walk you through the process of completing Phantasy Star II with just Rolf. If you're looking for a thorough guide to the game in general, this guide will not meet your needs. You should already be at least somewhat familiar with the game. If you need maps, I recommend the Phantasy Star Pages: http://www.phantasy-star.net/psii/psii.html Warning: This guide contains a few spoilers. I'm assuming you've already beaten the game at least once. ---------- II. Notes| ---------- This is a single character challenge. This means that you cannot use any other characters. Rolf is the only character that you can use throughout the game, with three small exceptions (see below). Note that you cannot remove Nei from the party until she dies (permanently) at the hands of Neifirst. You'll have to let her get killed in the first battle, and then never revive her (at least until you're ready to fight Neifirst; details below). You cannot use Nei's inventory space to store items. You can acquire the other characters by stopping by Rolf's house, and you can sell or use their initial equipment if you wish, but you cannot use them, nor can you store items in their inventory. However, there are three specific points in the game where you are allowed to use another character for something: 1. You can use Shir to steal the Visiphone from the Baggage Room in the Central Tower in Paseo. This is not strictly speaking required to beat the game, but in a solo game having the Visiphone is a practical necessity; without it, you would have to battle your way through each dungeon, with Rolf only, without the ability to save, and your closest save point to Dark Force would be the town of Aukba. You'll have to work Shir up to level 10 for her to steal the Visiphone. 2. Nei must be alive when you speak to Neifirst. This is absolutely necessary in order to proceed with the game. You'll have to revive her before speaking with Neifirst. 3. You can pawn the Prism off on one of the other characters at the end of the game, once you're done with the "hidden" dungeons on Dezo. For some reason, the game will not allow you to put the Prism in the Baggage Room in Paseo, and once it's no longer needed it just uselessly takes up a spot in your inventory that's needed for a Trimate. Several ports of Phantasy Star II have been released. You could be playing this game as part of Phantasy Star Collection for Game Boy Advance, as part of Sega Genesis Collection for Playstation 2, or several other ways. For the purposes of this guide I'm assuming you're playing the Genesis version. ----------------- III. Walkthrough| ----------------- ----- Paseo ----- The first thing you should do is change your order so that Nei is in front. Unequip all of her equipment, and sell all of it except the Ribbon (you want her to have an item in her inventory for the first battle). Go buy another Knife for Rolf, as well as a Headgear. Then save and wander around outside Paseo until you get into a battle. In this battle, you will kill off Nei. Have Nei use her Ribbon (which will do nothing). You want her to have a useless item to use because if she doesn't she'll have to use the Defend command, which will make her harder for the enemies to kill. After she uses the Ribbon she'll automatically switch to Defend, so you'll have to manually order her to use the Ribbon each round until she dies. Have Rolf attack until you're only one round away from killing all the enemies, then have him Defend until Nei is dead. Once Nei's dead, use Rolf to kill the enemies and reap the experience. If you accidentally kill all of the enemies before Nei dies, you'll have to reset and try again, as you don't want Nei gaining any experience. After this battle, change your order again so that Rolf is in front, and go sell Nei's Ribbon. Obviously, don't revive Nei. Heal at the hospital for 8 meseta if needed. Now it's just a matter of walking around outside Paseo, acquiring EXP and meseta, and healing at the hospital as needed. Beware Poisoners, which can Paralyze you. (You'd think that, given their name, their special attack would cause Poison rather than Paralysis.) Fight until you have enough money to buy a Fibercoat. You should already have two Knives and a Headgear. Don't bother with the other weapons for sale in Paseo. The Bow Gun (a two-handed weapon) does less damage than a single Knife, much less two. Sonic Guns, despite having such a much higher attack value, do no more damage than the Knives, and they cost 640 meseta each. The only advantage of the Sonic Guns is that they do consistent damage even against enemies with high defense, but you won't be encountering such enemies at this point in the game anyway. Stick with the Knives. Grind to level 8. You learn Res at level 8, which will be very useful. Buy 2-4 Dimates for emergency healing in battle. Don't waste a round on Res in battle. Whenever you've taken 20 or more points of damage, use Res out of battle. If you desparately need healing in battle, use a Dimate. I also suggest that you buy 1-2 Antidotes in case you're poisoned. Rolf never lears Anti, so the only ways to heal Poison are by using an Antidote or going to a hospital in a town. If you find yourself poisoned in a dungeon with no way to heal it, you'll have to go all the way back to town. If you're willing to sacrifice the inventory spots, you can also buy an Escapipe and a Telepipe in case you get yourself into deep trouble. I strongly recommend always saving 12 TP for Hinas and Ryuka, so you can always get back to town quickly if you run into trouble, but you may want to have a backup. Once you're at least level 8, and have a Headgear, Fibercoat, two Knives, 2-4 Dimates, 1-2 Antidotes, and possibly an Escapipe and a Telepipe, head towards Arima. ----- Arima ----- Arima has a weapon shop, a hospital and a teleport station, but no item shop or Data Memory building, so if you want to sell items or save you have to go back to Paseo. When you do go back to Paseo, Rudo will be at Rolf's house. Take Rudo's Boots from him; they're an upgrade over Rolf's Shoes. Buy a Sword as soon as you can afford it. It's much better than the Knives. Now it's time to earn even more EXP and meseta. Cross the bridge to the east to fight some tougher monsters. You can cross the next bridge, towards Nido, for even tougher battles. There are three monsters you should be particularly wary of. First, Armorants can paralyze you, and do a good amount of damage per hit. With the Sword each will take two hits to kill. Second, Waspys do 3-4 damage per hit, and sometimes come in groups of 4. It takes 1-2 hits to kill one. Third, Froggys can do 10 points of damage in a single attack, though their regular attack does much less. Use Dimates in battle if you need them. Generally you'll want to save your TP for healing, but you may want to use Gifoi or Zan against Armorants, due to their ability to paralyze you. You're also likely to take enough damage against a group of four Waspys that using Zan to kill most or all of them right off the bat is more efficient in terms of TP than having to cast Res twice after battle. Once you hit level 10, you can use Gra in battles that have both Armorants and Waspys. Once you have 5,600 meseta, buy two Ceramic Knives. Each knife does more damage than the Sword, and with two of them you can kill Armorants and Waspys much more quickly without using techs. Waspys should go down with a single hit now (and you can kill two of them per round), but Armorants will still take two hits to kill. Now you can either go to Nido and fight the monsters in the entrance room, or you can stay outside and keep fighting the monsters you've been fighting. The average EXP in Nido is a little better, but not by much. If you do fight in Nido, be especially wary of Spitkills. If they put you to sleep, it's game over. They take two hits to kill. Always kill them first. If you fight in Nido, you may want to Ryuka to Paseo and save more often than you need to. Once you've reached level 12, you should be strong enough for Shure. ----- Shure ----- My stats: Level: 12 HP: 88 TP: 55 Your stats may vary, since stat gains at level up are somewhat random. See Section IV for details. My stats here are actually below average for level 12. At level 12, there are no serious threats in Shure, even on the top level. The only monsters you need to watch out for are the Armorants and Amoebas, both of which can paralyze you. The only items you need from Shure are the Small Key and Letter (both on the top floor), and both Dynamites. If you need to, use Hinas/Ryuka (or your Escapipe and Telepipe) after you've gotten the Small Key and Letter, and go back for the Dynamites. If you're in good shape, though, just walk it for the EXP. Don't forget to free up a spot in your inventory by putting the Small Key in the baggage room in Paseo when you're done. Now head to Nido, which will be more of a challenge. ---- Nido ---- The only thing you really need here is Teim, although you might want to pick up the Trimate too. Be afraid when you see Spitkills; take them out first. Aside from the ever-present possibility of random death from Spitkills, you shouldn't have any problems until you reach the top floor. Be very careful here. You may run into monsters called Blasters. These creatures are very dangerous. They come in groups of two, do over 20 points of damage each in a single attack, and each takes *three* hits to kill. If you want to kill them with physical attacks, you'll probably have to use a Dimate in the battle. Gifoi and Zan are inadequate against them. If you have the TP, I recommend using Githu to knock off one of them, then killing the other with physical attacks. If you don't have the TP for that, you may want to just run. Leechers can also do 20+ damage with their special attack, though their regular attack does much less. They come in groups of three, but each will die in a single hit. The Trimate is useful, but getting it is dangerous, because you have to make an extra trip to the top floor to do so, where there are definite hazards. If you get the Trimate, you may want to cast Hinas and go save before coming back for Teim. ----- Oputa ----- Once you have Teim, cross the North Tunnel and head towards Oputa. The only equipment upgrade available in Oputa is the Fibergear. You might as well learn Musik too while you're here. Now head towards the Biosystems Lab and spend some more time leveling up. In the area encompassing Oputa and the Biosystems Lab (which are separated by obstacles) you will encounter monsters you've already fought. There's nothing particularly dangerous here, but the Vortex can do an appreciable amount of damage. You'll also run into very weak monsters that will do nothing but waste your time. In the area to the west of the Lab, in addition to the weak enemies, you'll also encounter new monsters: Locustas, Stingers and Kitedrgns (this last enemy is supposed to be labeled Fire-Eye, but is called Kitedrgn in the Genesis version of the game due to a bug). These monsters do a good amount of damage per attack, and Stingers and Kitedrgns take a few hits to kill. You could use techs against them, but I prefer to save the TP for healing. In the entranceway to the Biosystems Lab you can face even tougher battles. When fighting two Vortexes and a Spitkill, take out the Spitkill first (due to its ability to kill you instantly by putting you to sleep). There's only one Spitkill per encounter, and you should get your turn before it does, so you shouldn't have a problem with them unless you're ambushed. You'll also encounter Blasters and Jellys. There's only one Blaster per encounter, so they're not as much of a threat as they were in Nido, but Jellys are potentially lethal. Their regular attack only does a few points of damage, but occasionally they'll put you to sleep, which will kill you. Two castings of Zan will sometimes kill them all, but it's safer to just run from them. They can still ambush you though, and running isn't always successful. Leveling in the Biosystems Lab is dangerous, because of the presence of Jellys and Spitkills. However, the average EXP here is considerably higher than outside, because outside you'll still sometimes run into very weak monsters. Wherever you choose to grind, fight until you reach level 16, at which point you will learn Gires. Use it instead of Res from now on, as it is more efficient. Feel free to use Gires in battle too if needed, since it does just as much healing as a Dimate. Since you have plenty of money, you can actually start using your Dimates first for healing, freeing up some TP for offensive techs against the more dangerous monsters, but don't overdo it. Load up on Dimates; it's time to tackle the Biosystems Lab. -------------- Biosystems Lab -------------- My stats: Level: 16 HP: 113 TP: 68 You should be able to make it through the Lab without too many problems, unless you get caught in an unlucky ambush. You still might want to run from the Jellys. Gizan won't kill them in one casting, which means you'll have to cast it twice, costing 14 TP and taking three chances of insta-death. Don't get caught with low HP either, with Blasters and Mushrooms around. Be sure to grab the Star Mist on the second floor. In a solo game, Star Mists are no better than Trimates, but you might as well pick it up. The Trimate in the basement is also practically right in your path. In the basement, you'll run into groups of two Blasters, which can still be dangerous at this point, and Insectas, which won't be a problem. Once you have the Recorder, get out of there, head to Paseo to talk to the governor, and then it's off to Zema. ---- Zema ---- When you reach Zema, buy a Titanium Helmet and two Laser Knives. You should have several times more meseta than necessary at this point. There are also Boots for sale if you didn't take Rudo's earlier. The Ceramic Sword actually has a slightly higher attack value than two Laser Knives, but it does a lot less damage. Now head to Kueri. You may encounter Fanbites on the way, which can kill you instantly with their special attack if you're unlucky. ----- Kueri ----- Buy a Titanium Chest in Kueri, sell any Dimates you may have left, and stock up on Trimates. Use a Trimate when you really need healing in battle, and Gires out of battle for routine healing. Teleport back to Zema and walk to Roron. Hang around in the entrance area to build up some more. The most significant new monster here is the Slugmess (you can also encounter them outside Roron). These monsters are very dangerous, able to do 10-15 points of damage per attack each. They can also reproduce, making a copy of themselves in an adjacent empty monster slot. Each copy has the same remaining HP as the original. There can be as many as five of them at any one time. You *will* be using Trimates in battles with the Slugmess. I strongly suggest using Gizan on them (use Trimates to heal instead of Gires; save your TP for Gizan), but even then you'll use one or two Trimates before you defeat them. After three rounds of Gizan (21 TP, which means you'll only be able to do this about three times per trip) you should be able to use physical attacks to kill them. Why fight the Slugmess? You get a *lot* of EXP for killing them. For each Slugmess you kill, you get 232 EXP. Three Slugmess and two Mushrooms will give you 896 EXP, and five Slugmess will earn you 1,160. What's more, while it's dangerous, you can intentionally prolong these battles, and generate more and more Slugmess to kill, by always leaving at least one Slugmess alive. After three rounds of Gizan (or not), when you're using physical attacks, whenever you think you would kill all remaining Slugmess in the next round, use the Defend command until they reproduce. You can prolong this EXP-generating battle until you run out of Trimates, or even further, until you run out of TP with which to cast Gires. You can earn well over 10,000 EXP in a single battle this way. The most EXP I've gotten in one battle from the Slugmess is 35,315. It shouldn't take too long to get to level 20. ----- Roron ----- My stats: Level: 20 HP: 145 TP: 82 Once you're reached at least level 20, you're ready for Roron. You don't need either of the items here; all you need is the Jet Scooter. You shouldn't have much problem getting to the bottom floor, though you may run into groups of Jellies. Also look out for Squat, which can poison you. The only way to cure poison is with an Antidote or by going back to town. ----- Piata ----- Once you have the Jet Scooter, head to Piata. Buy a Ceramic Chest for Rolf. Despite the fact that the Laser Sword has a significantly higher attack value than the two Laser Knives, the knives *still* do more damage. The sword does have a higher defense value, and it only takes up one slot in your inventory, freeing a slot for a Trimate, but I recommend keeping the knives. Teleport to Paseo, and make Shir appear at Rolf's house. You need to use Shir to steal the Visiphone from the Baggage Room in the Central Tower. The Visiphone is a necessity in a solo game. You'll have to work Shir up to level 10 first. To enhance her survivability during this process, you may want to buy her some good equipment: a Silver Crown and Ceramic Cape in Piata, Boots in Zema, and two Mirror Emels in Kueri. Outside Piata is a fast place to level her. Just have Rolf use strong techs while Shir defends, keep Shir healed and save every few battles. Once you have the Visiphone, put Shir back up at Rolf's house; you're done with her. You should save with the Visiphone frequently from now on. No more having to re-do an entire dungeon due to a random insta-kill. Now head to Uzo. --- Uzo --- You should be able to get the Maruera Leaf and get out of here without spending any more time leveling. The monsters here are more dangerous than those you've faced previously, though, so expect to use several Trimates. Watch out for Fanbites, which rarely can cause instant death with their special attack. When you have the Leaf, get out of here, head back to Kueri to get the Maruera Gum, then go to Climatrol. --------- Climatrol --------- Climatrol is tough. In the basement, you will face Slugmess. The other monsters in the basement can be semi-dangerous, but the Slugmess can be a real pain if you encounter them repeatedly. You can also find Slugmess in floors 1-4, and there are Fanbites here to look out for as well. You don't need any of the items here. On the fifth floor of Climatrol you'll encounter monsters called Blastoids (you can actually find them in floors 1-4 as well, but they're much more common on the fifth floor). They come in groups of three. These creatures can reproduce in the same way that the Slugmess can, but they do a lot less damage. Don't bother with techs against them; just use physical attacks. Each Blastoid you kill is worth 371 EXP. By constantly keeping at least one of them alive (like you did with the Slugmess earlier) and killing them off as they reproduce, you can earn a large amount of EXP in a short period of time. You won't have to use Trimates nearly as often, so you can really rack up the EXP. Apparently, the maximum amount of EXP a single character can earn per battle is 65,535. If you earn more than that, the EXP count resets back to zero and starts over again (meseta does not have this limitation). Therefore, the maximum number of Blastoids you should kill in a single battle is 176. This will earn you 65,297 EXP. I recommend ending the battle after 125-150 kills, just to be cautious. You'll need to do this until you reach level 30. That's when Rolf learns Rever, which is needed to revive Nei before the battle with Neifirst (Nei must be alive when you speak with Neifirst in order to proceed with the game). Being level 30 also makes the upcoming boss fight easier. Each of these battles can take 30 minutes or more, so it may take quite some time to reach level 30. By the time you're done, you'll have enough meseta to last you the rest of the game. My stats: Level: 30 HP: 213 TP: 115 Once you've reached level 30 (and you've healed and restocked on Trimates), you're ready for Neifirst. Floors 6-8 of Climatrol are inhabited by tough monsters, but you'll have no problems at your level. Make sure you save at least 30 TP on your way to the boss. Revive Nei, using Rever, before speaking to Neifirst. Nei will obviously die in one hit, making the real battle come even quicker. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Boss: Neifirst | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |HP: 1,100 Defense: 10 EXP: 1,111 | |Attack: 178 Agility: 92 Meseta: 1,111 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |At level 30, this is a very easy battle. Cast Nafoi until you run out of TP. | |You'll do about 130 points of damage per casting. Nathu does only slightly | |more damage, but costs much more TP. Don't worry about saving TP for healing;| |you should have plenty of Trimates left. When you run out of TP, switch to | |physical attacks. Each hit should do about 50 damage, combining for about 100| |damage per round. | | | |Neifirst has two attacks: a "claw" attack that does about 25-30 damage, and a| |"light saber" attack that does about 45-50. Neither of these is a threat at | |your level. You should only have to use one or two Trimates during the course| |of the battle. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, Nei is gone, and you no longer have to look at her name during battle and in various Menu screens. Heal at the Hospital, drop off the Maruera Gum at the Baggage Room, and teleport to Piata. ------------------- Piata Control Tower ------------------- If you didn't learn Musik in Oputa, go learn it now. Don't bother restocking on Trimates unless you're nearly out. There's nothing in here that should give you any trouble. Just get the cards and get out. Go back to Paseo and put all the cards in the Baggage Room except for the Red Card. You'll want to only take the card that you need with you, leaving more room for Trimates. Restock your Trimates, and head to the Red Dam. ------- Red Dam ------- The only item of potential use here is the Sword of Anger. The sword does about the same damage as two Laser Knives. The advantage of the sword is that it only takes up one slot in your inventory, freeing a slot for a Trimate. The disadvantage is that it has no Defense bonus, so your Defense will be 10 less with the sword than with the knives. It's up to you whether you want to use it or not, but I personally keep the knives. The higher defense is more valuable than the extra inventory slot, especially since you'll very soon get the Amber Robe for healing. Unfortunately, some of the mechs are very resistant to bladed weapons, and so they will take several rounds to kill, unless you want to use TP to cast Nafoi at them. TP is still useful for healing at this point, although it won't be after the next dungeon. Be especially careful of the Poleziax, which can paralyze you. A group of four of them can easily kill you if you're unlucky. You should be saving very frequently from now until the end of the game. Once you've unlocked the dam, go grab the Yellow Card, heal, restock on Trimates, and go to the Yellow Dam. ---------- Yellow Dam ---------- There are two items that you'll want to pick up here, including perhaps the most useful item in the game. Once you have the Amber Robe, it will remain in your inventory for the rest of the game. It casts Gires on you when used in battle, healing you by 60 HP. It has unlimited uses, but can only be used in battle. Keeping this item in your inventory will take away a Trimate slot, but you won't be using Trimates nearly as often anyway with the Amber Robe. Whenever your current HP is 60 or more below your max HP, use the Amber Robe. This should be enough to get you through most battles. If you're in bad shape, use a Trimate. Since the best healing tech you learn is Gires, and you have an item which casts Gires for free, TP is no longer useful for healing. Feel free to use Nafoi on the more damage-resistant mechs, but you should still reserve 12 TP for Hinas and Ryuka. (Note that there are other items in the game that cast Gires, and you could use them instead if you like, but I'll be referring to the Amber Robe in this guide because it's the first Gires item you're likely to come across in the game. Once you have it there's no need to pick up any more.) You'll also find a Crystal Chest in the Yellow Dam, which will provide a needed boost to your Defense stat (especially if you're using the Sword of Anger). Unlock the Yellow Dam, grab the Blue Card, restock, and head to the Blue Dam. -------- Blue Dam -------- There are several useful items in this dungeon. The first is the Storm Gear, which casts Gizan on *all* enemies (not just all enemies of a particular type) when used in battle. The second is the Colorscarf, which casts Saner on you. The third item that you definitely want to pick up here is the Snow Crown. The Snow Crown is one of the most useful items in the game, along with the Amber Robe, because it casts Deban (which halves the damage you take). Use the Snow Crown at the beginning of every battle; this will make these difficult battles much easier. The other items here aren't useful. When you're done, head back to Paseo. Keep the Snow Crown and Storm Gear, and put the Colorscarf in the Baggage Room for possible later use. The Snow Crown is worth keeping in your inventory to use against highly damage-resistant mechs, especially when there are two or three of them. You can sacrifice the Trimate slot at this point, since you're not having to use many of them anyway. You might want to get rid of your Antidote(s) as well at this point, if you still have them. It'll free up a spot or two in your inventory, and you can always reset if you get poisoned. However, you may decide the inconvenience of having to reset every time you get poisoned makes it worth keeping one or two Antidotes in your inventory. I just split the difference, keep one and get rid of the other. --------- Green Dam --------- Get the Green Card, restock on Trimates, and it's on to the last dam. There's nothing useful here, so you can just go directly to the dam controls. When you unlock the last dam, you're immediately thrust into battle with the Army Eyes. They don't do much damage at all, so you'll have no problem keeping yourself alive for three rounds. ----- Gaila ----- Run from any battles (since that's all you can do), and head to the controls. When you get back to Paseo, restock on Trimates if needed, and take the spaceship to Skure. You should be level 31 by this point. ----- Skure ----- You must get the Mogic Cap before going to any towns. You can also get the Laconian Chest and Gardaboots if you don't want to buy them in Ryuon, but you should have well more than enough meseta at this point. You'll have to make three separate trips through Skure to get to the three towns on Dezo. You'll also have to make a fourth trip later when going to Naval. Other than that, you shouldn't have to deal with this dungeon much. You can teleport from any of the towns directly to the center of Skure, and, if the last time you've saved has been with the Visiphone on Dezo, you can cast Ryuka to be teleported directly to Aukba. A brief note about how Ryuka works. If the last place you've saved is on the planet other than the one you're currently on, Ryuka will take you to the "initial location" of the planet you're currently on (on Mota, this is in front of the Central Tower in Paseo, and on Dezo, it's in the middle of Skure, right next to the ship). If the last place you've saved is at a Data Memory building in a town on the same planet you're on, Ryuka will take you to that Data Memory building. If the last place you've saved is with the Visiphone on the same planet you're on, Ryuka will take you to the Data Memory building in the "first town" of the planet you're on (Paseo on Mota, or Aukba on Dezo). Therefore, as long as you never save on Mota again, you can just cast Ryuka as soon as you get to Skure to teleport to one of the Dezo towns. Skure is technically an exterior location, so Ryuka works when you're in it. In fact, Hinas doesn't even work in Skure, because you're outside. Furthermore, you don't have to walk all the way to Aukba, even the first time. You can just save with the Visiphone and then cast Ryuka to be teleported directly there (though obviously you should pick up the Mogic Cap first). You will have to walk to the other two towns for your first visit, though. Go through Skure to each of the three Dezo towns and buy upgraded equipment. Rabbits can poison you; you should be saving frequently, and if you don't have any Antidotes, you'll have to reset if you get poisoned, unless you're absolutely confident you can make it to your destination without healing. ----- Aukba ----- There's nothing worth buying here, but you want to come here to make the town appear on the teleport list. Make sure you remember to re-equip Rolf's regular helmet after you're done in a town. The Mogic Cap is terrible. ---- Zosa ---- There's nothing to buy here either. Unfortunately, Rolf can't equip the Laconian Helmet. You're stuck with the Titanium Helmet until you get the Neimet. The only reason to come to Zosa now is to ensure that it appears in the teleport list later. ----- Ryuon ----- Here you can finally buy a Laconian Sword. Also pick up a Laconian Chest and Gardaboots if you didn't get them in Skure. Ryuon is the only town on Dezo that sells Trimates. ------- Crevice ------- Restock on trimates and head to the Crevice. There are no items here, so just head on through. Be careful though: the Ohx have a special attack that can eliminate *all* of your TP. You're going to have to walk through this dungeon at least four times, so learn the route. ------------- Esper Mansion ------------- Talk to Lutz and get the Prism (yet another item that you must haul around in your inventory, taking up space). Now it's time to head to the first of the "hidden" dungeons, Menobe. ------ Menobe ------ There are eight Nei items in the next four dungeons which you must get. Only one of them can be equipped. You'll have to go back to Paseo to drop Nei items off in the Baggage Room between dungeons. You could wait until after the second or third dungeon to do this, but since it doesn't require any extra walking you may as well do it after each dungeon. The Sakoffs can poison you, and Wrestlers can paralyze you, so be careful. Nazan works pretty well against groups of three Darksides; it'll take about three rounds of it. Nazan also works against other dangerous enemies, like Sakoffs, when you face them in groups. Remember to save at least 12 TP for Hinas and Ryuka, though. The higher you climb in the dungeon, the tougher the monsters become. Be very careful on the upper floors. Gloswords do a lot of damage, and Mesomans and Skytiaras can put you to sleep, resulting in instant game over. The Neimet is a big upgrade from the Titanium Helmet. You'll also pick up the Neicrown here. ------ Guaron ------ You'll run into many of the same dangerous enemies here, including Darksides, Skytiaras, Wrestlers, Sakoffs, and Mesomans. You'll also find new enemies on the upper levels. Keep saving very frequently, and be prepared to reset if things go badly. I recommend saving after every battle at this point. Don't forget to use the Snow Crown at the beginning of each battle. You may have noticed that some of these battles are starting to take a while, and you're having to use the Amber Robe quite frequently. It's only going to get worse. When you reach level 35, though, you'll learn Megid, which is useful when facing an extremely tough battle. Megid will do about 340-460 damage to all enemies, which is pretty much guaranteed to end a battle immediately. Megid normally damages all party members except for Rolf by an emount equal to half their current HP. However, since Rolf is alone, there are no other party members to damage, so there's no downside. It does cost a whopping 55 TP though, so you'll probably only be able to use it twice (keep in mind the need to save 12 TP). You may reach level 35 by the time you're done in Guaron, but if not, you certanly will in the next dungeon. You'll find the Neicape and Neiarmor in Guaron. The Neiarmor is on the top floor, along with some very powerful enemies. Now might be a good time to use Megid, if you have the TP. Unfortunately, there is no Neichest for Rolf to equip, so you're stuck with the Laconian Chest. ----- Ikuto ----- You'll have to make two trips through this dungeon to get the Neishot and the Neislasher, so you'll need to save an extra 4 TP for Hinas (unless you want to make your way to the bottom floor and climb the stairs). Here the difficulty level picks up a notch. You'll run into the normal enemies here, which are dangerous enough, but you'll also find new enemies that do even more damage. Some encounters are particularly problematic, such as three Gloswords. The Amber Robe can only heal 60 HP per turn, and the Gloswords can do more than 20 points of damage each per hit. If you find yourself in such a situation, heal with Trimates instead of the Amber Robe. Don't be afraid to use Nazan or even Megid if needed; just be mindful of your TP total. If needs be, run (easier said than done), or just reset if you encounter a battle that you don't have the resources (Trimates and TP) to handle. You should be saving obsessively at this point. ----- Naval ----- In order to even reach Naval, you must make one more trek through Skure. This is hopefully the last time you have to spend more than five seconds looking at the inside of Skure, unless you choose to go without the Mogic Cap later. In Naval are the last two Nei items that you need to find, the Neishield and the Neiemel, and getting them will require two trips through the dungeon. As in previous dungeons, the monsters get stronger the higher you climb. Battles with two Archdrgns can be problematic, since even after you've used the Snow Crown they can do 25-30 damage per attack each. Use Trimates to heal, use Megid to end the battle quickly, or be prepared to spend several rounds using the Amber Robe for every one round attacking. Once you've gotten the final Nei items, head back to Paseo. ---- Noah ---- In order to obtain the Neisword and gain access to Noah, you must speak to Lutz with all eight Nei items in your inventory, *and* an extra empty slot for the Neisword. This means you're going to have to leave something behind. You need your four equipped items in your inventory, one of which is the Neimet. You'll also need the remaining seven Nei items, plus the empty slot for the Neisword, for a total of 12 slots so far. Three of the remaining four slots will be taken by the Amber Robe, Snow Crown and Visiphone, leaving you room for one more item. You shouldn't be carrying any Escapipes or Telepipes around at this point in the game, but if you are, leave them behind. If you're still carrying any Antidotes, you'll need to get rid of them as well at this point. You can always reset if you get poisoned. You can't sell the Prism, nor can you drop it off in the Baggage Room (the game won't let you), but you *can* get rid of it. All you have to do is take another character in your party, pawn the Prism off on that character, then leave him or her back at the house. This leaves the Storm Gear and Mogic Cap. Leaving behind the Storm Gear is no big deal. You won't have it with you in Noah anyway, because you won't need it and another Trimate will be much more useful. Leaving the Mogic Cap behind is more annoying. You won't be able to do anything in any of the towns on Dezo (including teleporting to the center of Skure), therefore, once you get the Neisword and gain access to Noah, you'll have to teleport to Aukba using Ryuka and then *walk* all the way to the center of Skure. I recommend leaving the Storm Gear behind. Go to the Esper Mansion (through the Crevice), talk with Lutz, and receive your Neisword. Once you have it, make your way back to Paseo. Put the Nei items (except the Neimet and Neisword, of course) back in the Baggage Room. Also, leave behind the Storm Gear if you still have it. You need your four equipped items, the Amber Robe, the Snow Crown and the Visiphone. You don't necessarily need the Mogic Cap, but if you don't bring it, you'll have to walk back to Paseo after the Dark Force battle in order to restock on Trimates. Whether an extra Trimate is worth it is up to you, but I keep the Mogic Cap. The only other potentially useful item is the Colorscarf, which you should have in the Baggage Room. The Colorscarf casts Saner, which increases your agility. This might help you have your turn before Dark Force's more often. Again, whether it's worth it is up to you (my recommendation: don't bother). Stock up on Trimates, head back to the Esper Mansion, and let Lutz send you to Noah. Whenever you want to leave Noah, you can use the Neisword as an item. This will teleport you back to the Esper Mansion, where you can heal and go right back. You're going to use this to your advantage to (relatively) quickly level up to level 50. Walk around Noah until you get into a battle, then immediately cast Megid to win it. Don't bother with the Snow Crown; just cast Megid. Repeat until you don't have enough TP to do it again, then use the Neisword, heal, go back, and repeat the process until you reach level 50. Despite the fact that you need a total of 6,927,113 EXP to reach level 50, it won't take as long as you think. You can get 10,000-20,000 EXP per battle. Be sure to save once in a while though. You can still be ambushed, and the monsters can still poison/kill you before you can do anything. Lutz will *not* cure poison (although interestingly he will still heal your HP and TP), so if you're poisoned you must reset (unless you want to teleport to Aukba to cure it then walk all the way back again). Also, Megid might not kill Fiends immediately, forcing you to end the battle in another way. Of course, don't use any Trimates. After several hours of grinding, I finally had the following stats: Level: 50 Equipment: Neisword, Laconian Chest, Neimet, Gardaboots HP: 328 Mental: 288 Dexterity: 264 TP: 176 Agility: 211 Attack: 403 Strength: 316 Luck: 258 Defense: 405 (Note: The Attack, Defense, and Agility stats are with weapon and armor equipped.) I list these stats for the purpose of comparison. Stat gains on level up are somewhat random (see section IV) so your stats may vary significantly. If your stats are higher than mine, the final boss battles may be easier than what I describe. If your stats are significantly lower, you might have a tougher time than I did. My stats were actually below average for level 50. Hopefully you have at least 165 TP so you can cast Megid three times in a row. (If you actually have 220 TP, and can therefore cast it four times, so much the better.) Now that you're as strong as you're going to get, you're as ready as you'll ever be for Dark Force. Make your way through Noah, avoiding using TP or any Trimates. You could try running from battles, but there's a good chance of failure. Your best bet is to fight your way through as normal, using the Snow Crown at the beginning of every battle, and healing only with the Amber Robe. You should be able to do this without too much problem at level 50, but save after every battle. You'll want to be at full health when you open the treasure chest. You could get into one more battle at the end against an enemy that can miss you, like Kinglava, and finish the battle with full HP, but it's easier to just cast Gires once to top yourself off (hopefully this doesn't bring you under a multiple of 55 TP, thereby reducing the number of times you can cast Megid). Regardless, make sure you're at full health and save before you open the treasure chest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Boss: Dark Force | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |HP: 2,560 Defense: 30 EXP: 2,222 | |Attack: 320 Agility: 148 Meseta: 0 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Dark Force has two attacks: a regular attack that hits you for about 50 | |damage (after you've used the Snow Crown), and a hypnosis attack that turns | |you "evil." The hypnosis attack inflicts one of six unique status ailments | |upon you, described below: | | | |"Turns doubtful": You do less damage and have a greater chance of missing. | | | |"Loses confidence": You cannot use any techniques. | | | |"Gets lazy": Your agility decreases, making it more likely that Dark Force | |will have its turn before yours. | | | |"Crushed by despair": You can't do anything; you just stand there. | | | |"Turns greedy": You try to steal items from your party members, but of course| |you don't have any. In other words, you just stand there, unable to do | |anything. | | | |"Turns traitor": You try to flee every round, but are unsuccessful. Again, | |this means that you can't do anything. | | | |Obviously, the last three effects are very bad, and may result in a game over| |screen. When you're afflicted with one of the first three effects, your first| |turn after being afflicted will be wasted; the game will just tell you which | |effect you have. In each subsequent round, there is a chance that you will do| |nothing at all. | | | |However, at random (but only when you have been hypnotized with one of these | |six effects), the Neisword will glow and the hypnosis will be dispelled. | |There's no way to make this happen; it's just a matter of luck. But if you | |get hit with one of the three debilitating status effects, you still have a | |chance. | | | |When you are not hypnotized, Dark Force seems to use its regular attack about| |half the time and its hypnosis attack about half the time. When you're | |hypnotized, Dark Force will not try to hypnotize you with another effect (you| |can only be afflicted with one effect at once), and will use its regular | |attack every round. After the Neisword dispels the hypnosis, Dark Force is | |free to hypnotize you again, and which effect you get is random. | | | |Despite all of that, this is actually a very simple battle. The first thing | |you should do is to use the Snow Crown. If you have the Colorscarf, you can | |use it too, but your Agility should be high enough that you don't need it. | |Then cast Megid until you don't have enough TP to cast it anymore. After | |that, if you have enough TP, you can use Nafoi or Nathu if you like; | |otherwise, attack physically. When your HP drops perilously low, use a | |Trimate. | | | |And that's it. This battle is mostly a matter of luck. If you get hit with a | |bad hypnosis effect, and the Neisword doesn't dispel it in time, you'll get a| |game over. It shouldn't take too many tries before you win, though. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You've just won the most difficult battle in the game. Use the Neisword, heal, and restock on Trimates. If you don't have the Mogic Cap with you, you'll have to walk from Aukba to Paseo. If you do have it with you, you might as well leave it behind in Paseo this time; you won't need it anymore. Make your way from Aukba to the Esper Mansion, walking through the Crevice yet again (for the final time), and head back to Noah. As you did on the way to Dark Force, refrain from using TP or Trimates on the way to Mother Brain. Once again, make sure you save and are at full health before the battle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Boss: Mother Brain | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |HP: 2,450 Defense: 120 EXP: 0 | |Attack: 228 Agility: 198 Meseta: 0 | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------| |Mother Brain is weaker than Dark Force, but she's faster and has a higher | |Defense stat. Fortunately she can't hypnotize you like Dark Force could, so | |she's not nearly as much of a threat. She has only two attacks: one does 15- | |20 points of damage (after you use the Snow Crown), and the other does 40-45.| | | |Use the Snow Crown first, then cast Megid until you can't anymore. After | |that, if you have any TP left, cast Nafoi or Nathu until you're out. Then | |just attack physically, using Trimates as needed, until she's dead. Again, | |you can use the Colorscarf if you have it, but it's not needed. My turn came | |before hers almost every round. You should have more than enough Trimates, | |but if somehow you run out you can always heal with the Amber Robe. | | | |Compared to Dark Force, this battle is a cakewalk. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the battle, enjoy the much-deserved ending. You've earned it. --------------------------- IV. Stat Gains on Level Up| --------------------------- Note: All of this information is stolen from tables created by twilkitri (found at http://twilkitri.fewiki.net/PS2/). I have not personally tested this, but it seems to be accurate. At each level up, your stats rise by a semi-random amount. For each character, level, and stat, there is a predetermined "average" amount by which it will rise. However, there is a certain amount of randomness to the stat gains. The actual amount of the gain will be anywhere between 50% and 150% (rounded down) of the predetermined value. This can be taken advantage of by forcing the game to give you good stat gains on each level. All you have to do is save before you level, gain the level, check your stats and compare them to the previous stats. If they're not what you want, reset. There are tables for all eight characters at the website mentioned above; I am reproducing only Rolf's tables here. This first table simply lists the predetermined "average" values for each stat gain at each level, along with the total EXP required for that level: ------------------------------------------------------------- |LVL HP TP STR MEN AGI LUK DEX ATK DEF TOTAL EXP| ------------------------------------------------------------- | 1 19 15 20 28 15 13 20 12 10 0| | 2 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 29| | 3 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 83| | 4 9 6 13 10 8 10 10 7 5 170| | 5 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 289| | 6 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 504| | 7 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 6 5 808| | 8 9 6 13 10 8 10 10 7 6 1260| | 9 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 1930| | 10 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 2924| ------------------------------------------------------------- | 11 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 6 5 4375| | 12 9 6 13 10 8 10 10 7 6 6504| | 13 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 9622| | 14 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 14164| | 15 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 6 5 20783| | 16 9 6 13 10 8 10 10 7 6 30427| | 17 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 44475| | 18 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 64881| | 19 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 6 5 86896| | 20 9 6 13 10 8 10 10 7 6 110999| ------------------------------------------------------------- | 21 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 138112| | 22 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 168140| | 23 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 6 5 203229| | 24 9 6 13 10 8 10 10 7 6 243327| | 25 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 288460| | 26 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 338688| | 27 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 6 5 393651| | 28 9 6 13 10 8 10 10 7 6 453784| | 29 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 518785| | 30 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 588907| ------------------------------------------------------------- | 31 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 6 5 679300| | 32 9 6 12 10 8 10 10 7 6 767609| | 33 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 867398| | 34 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 980160| | 35 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 6 5 1107581| | 36 9 6 14 10 8 10 10 7 6 1251567| | 37 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 1414270| | 38 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 1598125| | 39 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 6 5 1805882| | 40 9 6 13 10 8 10 10 7 6 2040647| ------------------------------------------------------------- | 41 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 2305931| | 42 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 2605702| | 43 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 6 5 2944443| | 44 9 6 13 10 8 10 10 7 6 3327221| | 45 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 3759759| | 46 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 4248528| | 47 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 6 5 4800837| | 48 9 6 13 10 8 10 10 7 6 5424946| | 49 6 3 5 4 3 4 4 4 3 6130189| | 50 7 3 5 4 3 4 4 5 4 6927113| ------------------------------------------------------------- The stats listed for level 1 are simply the predetermined stats that Rolf begins the game with. There is no variation in Rolf's level 1 stats; they are the same in every game. The value in the total EXP column is the *cumulative* EXP total required for that level. The other values are the predetermined average gains, subject to random variation as described above. As you can see, Rolf (and all other characters as well) has "power levels," levels at which his stat gains are much higher than normal. For Rolf, every level that is a multiple of four is a power level. The next tables list the minimum, average, and maximum values for each stat at each level, along with the cumulative EXP total required for each level. These are the actual stat values, not stat increases. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |LVL HP TP STR MEN AGI LUK |

106-227-299 6927113| ---------------------------------------------------- For each stat at each level, the first number is the minimum, the second number is the average, and the third number is the maximum value for that stat at that level. There's no difference between the minimum and maximum values for each stat at level 1 because there is no variation in level 1 stats. The Attack, Defense and Agility stats listed are with no equipment. As you can see, there is considerable possible variation in level 50 stats. In my solo game, all nine stats were below the average. It's obviously impractical to try to get "perfect" levels in order to attain the maximum stats. However, you could get higher than average gains each level in certain key stats. Or you can just monitor your important stats, and if any of them drop too far below the average, you can build them back up. You can go to as much or as little trouble as you please. However, unless you have truly abysmal luck and receive very low stat gains most of the time, you should be able to beat the game with Rolf alone without worrying about stats. If you do decide to try to manipulate your stat gains at level up, I recommend focussing on HP, TP, Defense, Agility and Attack, in that order. HP is always important. If you can get at least 220 TP, you'll be able to cast Megid four times, making the final battles easier. Defense will help with survivability, and Agility is important for getting your turn before your enemies. Attack is also always useful. ------------- V. Equipment| ------------- The following is a list of equipment in the game that Rolf can equip. I am excluding equipment that Rolf cannot use. Weapons are listed in order of increasing Attack, and other eqiupment is listed in order of increasing Defense. The selling price is half the buying price. If no price is listed, the item can neither be bought nor sold. Location is the first or easiest location to acquire the item. Tech is the technique performed when the item is used as an item in battle. ------- Weapons ------- Note: The Attack and Defense bonuses for one-handed weapons are the total bonus received when two of that weapon are equipped, because chances are you're going to have two of them (shields really aren't useful in a Rolf solo game). The number in parentheses is the Attack or Defense bonus if only one weapon is equipped. Weapons without a "+<xx> each" listed after the Attack stat are two-handed weapons. The price listed for one-handed weapons is the price for two of them, with the price for only one in parentheses. Knife Attack +10 (+5 each) Location: Initial/Paseo Price: 200 (100 each) Notes: This is a good weapon for the beginning of the game. Rolf only starts with one, though, so buy him another one immediately. Bow Gun Attack +16 Location: Paseo Price: 300 Notes: Don't bother with this. It does less damage than two Knives, and is more expensive. Sonic Gun Attack +34 (+17 each) Location: Paseo Price: 1,280 (640 each) Notes: Don't bother with these either. Despite their high Attack value, they don't actually do any more damage than Knives (except against enemies with high defense, which you won't be facing this early in the game), and they're way too expensive. Sword Attack +36 Defense +8 Location: Arima Price: 1,200 Notes: The Sword isn't as good as the Ceramic Knives (the knives do quite a bit more damage), but it's much cheaper, so buy this first until you can afford the knives. Ceramic Knife Attack +40 (+20 each) Defense +6 (+3 each) Location: Arima Price: 5,600 (2,800 each) Notes: These are the ideal weapons from Shure up until after the Biosystems Lab. They're very expensive, but buy them as soon as you can. Laser Knife Attack +56 (+28 each) Defense +10 (+5 each) Location: Zema Price: 8,800 (4,400 each) Notes: By the time you reach Zema, you should have more than enough for two of these. They're great weapons, and will last you for a long time: at least until the dams and possibly until Dezo. Ceramic Sword Attack +60 Defense +10 Location: Zema Price: 3,200 Notes: Despite the slightly higher Attack bonus, the Ceramic Sword does much less damage than the Laser Knives. Buy the knives instead. Laser Sword Attack +100 Defense +18 Location: Piata Price: 5,400 Notes: Don't bother. The laser knives *still* do more damage, despite the drastically lower Attack bonus. Sword of Anger Attack +116 Location: Red Dam Price: 280 Notes: The Sword of Anger is a viable alternative to the Laser Knives. It does about the same damage, and it frees up an inventory slot for a Trimate. The lack of a Defense bonus is a disadvantage, though. Laconian Sword Attack +124 Defense +14 Location: Ryuon Price: 22,000 Notes: Finally, a good weapon upgrade. Whether you have the Sword of Anger or you're still using the Laser Knives, get this as soon as you get to Dezo. Meseta is no object at this point. Neisword Attack +150 Defense +48 Location: Esper Mansion Notes: By far the best weapon in the game. Unfortunately, you don't get it until just before the final dungeon. ----- Armor ----- Prison Clothes Defense +0 Location: Gaila Notes: Appears on you automatically in Gaila, and disappears afterwards. Not available at any other point in the game. Carbonsuit Defense +4 Location: Initial Price: 128 Notes: Rolf starts the game with this. Upgrade to a Fibercoat as soon as possible. Fibercoat Defense +8 Location: Paseo Price: 300 Notes: You'll want to buy this as soon as possible. It will last you until Kueri. Titanium Chest Defense +21 Location: Kueri Price: 5,400 Notes: The best armor for Roron. Ceramic Chest Defense +46 Location: Piata Price: 10,000 Notes: Available as soon as you get the Jet Scooter. You should have more than enough meseta. Crystal Chest Defense +60 Tech: Gra Location: Yellow Dam Price: 670 Notes: Definitely pick this up. It will last you until Dezo. Gra does less damage than the Gizan from the Storm Gear, though. Laconian Chest Defense +80 Location: Skure or Ryuon Price: 28,000 Notes: The best armor for Rolf in the game. Too bad there's no Neichest. ------- Helmets ------- Magic Cap Defense +2 Location: Skure Notes: While wearing the Magic Cap, the cats in Skure will give you useless information. You can also talk to the Dezolians in the towns on Dezo, but they'll lie to you and the prices for all services will be doubled. In other words, it's useless. Mogic Cap Defense +2 Location: Skure Notes: The purpose of the Mogic Cap is to let you talk to the Dezolians. You can also talk to the cats in Skure while wearing it, but they will be very upset with you. You'll have to carry it around with you once you get it. Just be sure to re-equip your regular helmet after you're done in a town. Headgear Defense +3 Location: Paseo Price: 120 Notes: Rolf starts with no helmet, so you'll want to buy this as soon as you can. Fibergear Defense +8 Location: Oputa Price: 430 Notes: A good upgrade for the Biosystems Lab, but there's better equipment in Zema. Titanium Gear Defense +14 Location: Zema Price: 1,400 Notes: Don't bother. Why buy this when a better helmet is available in the same town? Titanium Helmet Defense +16 Location: Zema Price: 3,700 Notes: Buy it as soon as you get to Zema. Unfortunately, this is the best helmet until you get the Neimet, so you'll be stuck with it for a long time. Neimet Defense +50 Location: Menobe Notes: Finally, an upgrade from the Titanium Helmet. Big upgrade, too, and the best helmet in the game. -------- Footgear -------- Shoes Defense + 3 Agility + 2 Location: Initial Price: 240 Notes: Rolf starts the game with this. Boots Defense +7 Agility +3 Location: From Rudo after reaching Arima, or in Zema Price: 1,000 Notes: The only upgrade available until Dezo. You can get them from Rudo when he shows up at Rolf's house instead of waiting until Zema. Gardaboots Defense +15 Agility +8 Location: Skure or Ryuon Price: 12,400 Notes: The best footwear in the game. ------- Shields ------- Note: Shields aren't recommended in a Rolf solo game - killing the enemies quickly is a lot more important than a little extra defense. I am only including them for completion. Carbon Shield Defense +8 Location: Paseo Price: 540 Fiber Shield Defense +15 Location: Oputa Price: 1,200 Mirror Shield Defense +32 Location: Zema Price: 4,800 Ceramic Shield Defense +39 Location: Kueri Price: 8,300 ----------- Other Items ----------- Note: Rolf cannot equip these items, but they perform a useful technique when used in battle. You'll definitely want to pick all of these up. Amber Robe Tech: Gires Location: Yellow Dam Price: 170 Notes: Perhaps the most useful item in the game. Once you get this, you'll hardly ever have to use anything else to heal. Still carry Trimates, though, for emergencies. This item will be in your inventory for the rest of the game. Storm Gear Tech: Gizan Location: Blue Dam Price: 630 Notes: This is worth carrying around with you until Noah. Some monsters (especially some mechs) are very resistant to damage from bladed weapons. Use the Storm Gear on them instead, especially when there are more than one of them. Colorscarf Tech: Saner Location: Blue Dam Price: 130 Notes: I never actually used this, but you might. It speeds you up in battle, causing your turn to come before that of the enemies. This might be useful against Dark Force and Mother Brain if you have lower than average Agility. Put it up in the Baggage Room in Paseo in case you need it. Snow Crown Tech: Deban Location: Blue Dam Price: 490 Notes: The Snow Crown is one of the most useful items in the game, along with the Amber Robe. Use it at the beginning of every battle, and the damage you take will be halved. You'll keep this in your inventory until the end of the game. Except for when you use Megid to level up in Noah, you should use this at the beginning of every battle from the time you get it until you defeat Mother Brain. --------------- VI. Techniques| --------------- This section will list all the techniques that Rolf learns, when he learns them, how much TP they cost, and what they're good for in a solo game. Techs that target one "group" of enemies target all enemies of the same type. The damage displayed on screen is the combined damage done to all enemies hit. Foi Level: 1 TP: 2 Effect: Attack against one enemy (12-17 damage). Notes: You might use it at the very beginning of the game when you're first starting to level up around Paseo, but otherwise it's just too weak to be useful. Ryuka Level: 4 TP: 8 Effect: Teleports you to a safe place. Only works when you're outside. Notes: If the last place you've saved is on the planet other than the one you're currently on, Ryuka will take you to the "initial location" of the planet you're currently on (on Mota, this is in front of the Central Tower in Paseo, and on Dezo, it's in the middle of Skure, right next to the ship). If the last place you've saved is at a Data Memory building in a town on the same planet you're on, Ryuka will take you to that Data Memory building. If the last place you've saved is with the Visiphone on the same planet you're on, Ryuka will take you to the Data Memory building in the "first town" of the planet you're on (Paseo on Mota, or Aukba on Dezo). This is an essential tech that you'll use throughout the game. Always save 12 TP for Hinas and Ryuka when you're dungeon-delving. Gifoi Level: 5 TP: 6 Effect: Attack against one enemy (34-46 damage). Notes: Foi is a little more efficient in terms of TP usage, but Foi is too weak. Gifoi may be worth using toward the beginning of the game, but it's generally better to save your TP for healing at this point. By the time you get the Amber Robe for healing, there will be better techs to use. Tsu Level: 5 TP: 6 Effect: Attack against one enemy (25-33 damage). Notes: Weaker than Gifoi, but costs the same TP. Hinas Level: 7 TP: 4 Effect: Teleports you out of a dungeon. Only works when you're in a dungeon. Notes: Along with Ryuka, an essential tech throughout the game. Zan Level: 7 TP: 4 Effect: Attack against a group of enemies (17-23 damage to each enemy). Notes: Your first multi-target tech. Good for wiping out large groups (3+) of weak enemies, and it's not too expensive in terms of TP either, but its window of usefulness is pretty limited. Res Level: 8 TP: 3 Effect: Restores 20 HP. Notes: Your first healing tech, and a staple until you get Gires. Use it out of battle whenever your HP is 20 or more below your max HP. Don't bother using it in battle, though; just use a Dimate when you really need healing in battle. Gra Level: 10 TP: 8 Effect: Attack against all enemies (18-22 damage to each enemy). Notes: Your first tech targeting all enemies, not just a group of the same type. It does about the same damage as Zan, but costs twice as much TP, so you won't get much use out of it. You may find a use for it shortly after you acquire it in battles with multiple types of very dangerous enemies. Githu Level: 11 TP: 13 Effect: Attack against one enemy (67-90 damage). Notes: The strongest tech against a single enemy at the time you acquire it, but it's very expensive. Nafoi, which you get in three more levels, does more damage and costs less TP. You still may use this though, before you get Nafoi, against very dangerous enemies like Blasters. Musik Level: Varies (as soon as you get to Oputa) TP: 3 Effect: Opens the door in the Control Tower in Piata. Notes: You don't learn this tech upon level up; instead, you have to buy it in Oputa for 2,000 meseta. Its only use is to play the piano in the Piata Control Tower so you can retrieve the dam cards. Nafoi Level: 14 TP: 12 Effect: Attack against one enemy (109-149 damage). Notes: The most useful single-target offensive tech, though not the strongest. Nathu, which you won't get for several more levels, does slightly more damage, but costs much more TP. You'll probably get some use out of Nafoi against particularly dangerous or damage- resistant enemies. Gizan Level: 16 TP: 7 Effect: Attack against a group of enemies (26-34 damage to each enemy). Notes: Not a particularly useful tech for the most part when you get it, since it requires at least two castings to kill the more dangerous enemies. It's useful when grinding against the Slugmess, though. The Storm Gear casts Gizan for free, and will be very useful because you can use it against damage-resistant mechs. Gires Level: 16 TP: 7 Effect: Restores 60 HP. Notes: The best healing tech you'll get; unfortunately, Rolf never learns Nares. Use this instead of Res, as it's more efficient. Until you can buy Trimates, you can use Gires in battle, but once you have Trimates for emergency healing in battle, only use Gires out of battle for routine healing. After you get the Amber Robe, you'll never need to cast Gires again, since the Amber Robe gives you Gires for free. Nathu Level: 20 TP: 20 Effect: Attack against one enemy (126-162 damage). Notes: A little more powerful than Nafoi, but much more expensive. Nafoi is almost always the better choice. Nazan Level: 24 TP: 11 Effect: Attack against a group of enemies (88-111 damage to each enemy). Notes: Great multi-target tech when you have TP to spare. Cheaper than Nafoi, and does almost as much damage to a whole group of enemies. Very useful against groups of damage-resistant enemies. Gigra Level: 28 TP: 12 Effect: Attack against all enemies (35-46 damage to each enemy). Notes: More expensive than Nazan but much weaker. It does target all enemies instead of only one enemy group, but it's just too weak to ever use. Rever Level: 30 TP: 30 Effect: Revives a dead character and restores HP to full. If the target is already alive, it just restores HP to full. Notes: This is needed to revive Nei before the battle with Neifirst. Otherwise, it's almost useless in a solo game, but there is actually a circumstance in which it could be useful. Rolf can use it on himself to fully restore his HP. This is generally a less efficient use of TP than Gires, but it's actually more efficient if the amount of HP being healed is at least 258. So, late in the game, when you've taken at least 258 points of damage, and you're out of Trimates, and the enemies are doing more damage than the Amber Robe can heal, you might just use Rever, although in this rare circumstance you're probably better off using your TP to kill the enemies instead. Megid Level: 35 TP: 55 Effect: Attack against all enemies (342-460 damage to each enemy). Damages all party members other than Rolf by an amount equal to half their current HP. Notes: By far the most powerful attack in the game, and a very useful tech. Megid is especially useful in a solo game, because Rolf has no allies for it to damage. It's very expensive, so you'll probably only be able to use it twice when you get it, and three times at level 50. Megid is pretty much guaranteed to end almost any non-boss battle in one action (though Fiends may survive it), and it never misses. Megid is useful in very tough battles before you get to Noah, essential to quick level grinding in Noah, and useful against the final bosses. ----------------- VII.

IPC: No sanction for Oscar after outburst
"There will be no disciplinary action against Oscar," IPC media and communication director Craig Spence told a news conference at Olympic Park in east London.
Pistorius, a double below-the-knee amputee since childhood who runs on J-shaped carbon fibre prostheses, sensationally lost his first 200m race in nine years on Sunday when Brazil's Alan Oliveira came from behind in the home straight to take the sprint on the line at the Olympic Stadium. The 25-year-old South African, who took silver, then claimed at trackside that he was at a disadvantage because his fellow competitors were "a lot taller" and he was unable to compete with their stride length.

WARNING: Parents on alert as white van man tries to abduct schoolgirl
A WHITE van man attempted to snatch a schoolgirl off the streets in an alleged abduction plot in South London.
Parents have been warned to "stay vigilant" after the schoolgirl was nearly taken
Parents have been warned to "stay vigilant" after the schoolgirl was nearly taken while on her way to school in Penge.
The young girl, whose exact age was not disclosed, was on her way to Harris Girls' Academy Bromley, in Lennard Road, around 8am last Wednesday, when a white van began to follow her.
The passenger of a white van approached the girl and attempted to abduct her.
Assistant principal for student welfare at the school, Kate Ives, confirmed police were called.
The school issued a letter to all parents alerting them to the incident, and advising them to take extra precaution with their daughters' safety.
The letter says: "There was an attempted abduction on Wednesday... it was reported that a young female was followed and subsequently approached.
The passenger of a white van approached the girl and attempted to abduct her
"Please be vigilant with your daughters and use this as an opportunity to remind them of personal safety.
"If they are approached by a stranger, they should get away from the situation as quickly as possible and report the incident to an adult.
"If they are using public transport, they must tell the driver.
"In addition please remind your daughter, that when possible, to walk to school in groups and to seek immediate adult assistance in any crisis situation."
The school issued a letter to all parents alerting them to the incident
A young female was followed and subsequently approached
The suspect is described as caucasian, in his late thirties or early forties, of average build, with blonde hair and stubble, and was wearing baggy blue jeans.
Ms Ives reminded parents to immediately let the school know if their child was going to be late or absent.
The alert comes a few weeks after a 14-year-old girl was abducted on her way to school n Oxford and subjected to a horrific ordeal.
The girl was forced into a car sexually assaulted and raped by two men, Thames Valley Police (TVP) confirmed.
The school asked parents to inform them if their daughter would be late or absent
And earlier in the year another man in a van tried to abduct three children in Sevenoaks, Kent.
The suspects struck on three separate occasions in March, targeting two boys aged 12 and a third 10-year-old.
The Met Police was approached for a comment.

Throughout the past couple of weeks, we have received a lot of news revolving around the third season of The Flash, including the return of Jesse Quick and the confirmation that Season 3 will be based on DC Comics' Flashpoint. However, probably the biggest announcement for The Flash Season 3 is the casting of Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter franchise.
Felton has been cast as a series regular named Julian Dorn. He is not a character from the comics but an original character for the show. However, we do know that he will be a CSI assistant at the Central City Police Department alongside Barry Allen. He will be a suspicious character trying to find out the secrets that Barry is hiding while holding some deep secrets himself.
That is all we have learned about Felton's character. While Felton has played villainous characters in the past and his role on The Flash does appear rather duplicitous, it does not necessarily mean he will be a villain. However, there is one rogue of the Flash's that many fans are hankering to see Julian Dorn evolve into and become the main antagonist of the third season.
Tom Felton As Godspeed
Many fans want Tom Felton to portray Godspeed — a brand new villain who is currently being introduced in DC Rebirth. In the first and latest issue of The Flash, Barry works with a CSI assistant who gets struck by lighting and while it is not official, it is safe to say the CSI assistant — August Heart — becomes Godspeed.
The Flash Issue 2 comes out July 13 and the description confirms that August Heart does indeed become a speedster. Whether or not he transforms into the villainous Godspeed or not is hidden, but it is pretty obvious. Here's the official issue description from DC Comics:
"LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE" Chapter Two: In issue #2, The Flash trains novice speedster August Heart to help protect the people of Central City from the Black Hole, a new breed of rogue with a deadly agenda for the Fastest Men Alive.
August Heart getting struck by lightning is the latest thing to happen in the Flash Rebirth run. Therefore, we haven't even seen Godspeed yet besides some brief flashes that Wally West received from the Speed Force. We have learned nothing about Godspeed's character at all, yet fans desperately want him to appear on The Flash.
Why Do Fans Want Godspeed?
The fact that fans want Godspeed to appear on The Flash is ludicrous to me. First of all, the past two seasons had a speedster as their main antagonist. Many fans complained about how similar Zoom felt to the Reverse-Flash. Given that, why do fans want another speedster? Do they really know what they want? It is like on Arrow when everyone complained about the Black Canary but when she kicked the bucket, fans were outraged and petitioned to get her back.
In reality, the show did the best they could to differentiate the characters making the costume, voices, colors, and overall appearance very different. When it comes down to it, they are both speedsters who were faster than the Flash and Barry had to train harder to defeat them. Let's not forget the fact that the identities of both of the speedsters turned out to be Barry's mentors trying to get him to run faster. A speedster villain for the third time in a row isn't going to be very compelling.
That aside, why else would fans want Godspeed to appear on the show? Is it because he looks cool? It has to be, because we don't know anything about him yet. Don't get me wrong — I bet Godspeed will turn out to be a fantastic villain. DC Rebirth has been a superb run so far and has not disappointed me in the slightest. However, it is just to early to tell anything about Godspeed.
Godspeed Won't Be On The Flash
I'm not just saying that I don't want Godspeed on The Flash; I'm saying he's not going to be on The Flash. While Tom Felton's character seems very similar to August Heart in the comics, it would be almost impossible to include Godspeed on the show at this stage. Godspeed is a brand new villain and by the time the season premiere of The Flash rolls around, only a few issues of The Flash comic book series will have been released. There's a chance that Godspeed will still not have been fully introduced yet or all of his secrets revealed.
For Godspeed to be put onto a TV show, there would have to be more source material than one incomplete comic book run — Godspeed is too new of a character. All in all, the character of Godspeed is still in development and putting him on a TV show is extremely improbable.
Could Godspeed appear on 'The Flash'?
What do you guys think? Could Godspeed appear on The Flash? What role will Julian Dorn end up playing? Tell me below!

When you live in the world where creativity is important and you constantly need tons of fresh ideas, you may be wondering whether you have the quality of creativity intelligence that you need.
While a certain level of intelligence will help, do you think that there is a connection between creativity and intelligence. It is possible that you start wondering whether you aren't smart enough to come up with the creative ideas.
Creativity and Intelligence
You need to understand that human brains are super complex and complicated. Up until now, there have been researches and studies about the human brain and yet there haven't been any significant or exact results that can describe and explain how the human brain works.
The same thing happens to the creative ideas and human intelligence. A lot of people think that creative ideas and the level of intelligence are related to one another. The higher your level of intelligence is, the more creative you will be. Does such creativity intelligence concept exist? Can we use it to describe our natural human behavior?
Unfortunately, up until now there hasn't been any exact scientific founding about the relation of intelligence and creativity. Some of the subject studies show a general level of intelligence and yet they are able to generate amazing creative ideas.
Maybe it is somehow related to different areas of brain that are responsible for different actions. The right brain, for instance, is believed to control intelligence while the left one is for creativity. People with right brain dominance is said to have a better logical thinking and higher intelligence level.
People with left brain dominance is said to have a better creative abilities. But such a claim hasn't been concluded yet and further studies are still needed to prove creativity intelligence connection and describe how the human brains actually work and function.

There was an incident at the WXW event in Miami, Florida over the weekend. It was reported that Gabi Castrovinci (former Tough Enough contestant and current TNA Knockout Raquel) wrestled local workers Raquel and Regina in a triple threat match to determine the number 1 contender for the WXW Women's Championship
According to sources, Raquel and Regina worked very stiff with Castrovinci to the point where Castrovinci sustained a minor fracture in her jaw and she was required to get her tooth replaced. We hear stories like this all of the time and usually, workers will be stiff on people that are new to the business but, based on the photos below, it looks like things went a little bit too far.

"I use a large foccacia loaf to make one big sandwich that can be sliced into appropriate serving sizes. My husband and son can have larger size sandwiches, while my daughter and I can have smaller sizes. I also use this recipe for entertaining, by making several large sandwiches and then slicing them into smaller size servings and securing with colorful toothpicks."
Focaccia Turkey Bacon Club
0 recipe photos
READY IN:23mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 large round focaccia bread
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 6 slices smoked provolone cheese
- 1⁄2 lb oven-roasted turkey breast (from deli)
- 12 slices cooked bacon (or turkey bacon)
- 1 cup fresh basil leaf (or spinach or arugula)
- 1 large sliced tomatoes
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled and sliced thin
- Preheat oven broiler.
- Slice the foccacia bread in half horizontally so you have a top and a bottom piece. Place on a cookie sheet with the cut sides up.
- Mix the olive oil, garlic powder, and oregano in a small bowl. Brush each cut side of the bread round evenly with the oil mixture.
- Place under the broiler until the bread slightly browns (watch closely - this only takes a few minutes).
- Remove the bottom bread section from the cookie sheet. Place the provolone cheese evenly on the top bread section. Return to the broiler until the cheese is melted (again, watch closely). Turn off the oven.
- Finish building the sandwich on the bottom bread section by piling on the basil, avacado, turkey, and tomato. Add the top bread section, and slice into servings.
- I like to serve this sandwich as a meal with Italian chicken tortellini soup or tomato soup.

UPDATED 12/20/2015 AT 7:10 PM (EASTERN): The Leach & Pratt radio sync has been added below (it couldn't be added via YouTube as it was getting auto blocked due to a TV commercial). Also, thanks to BWO, we have added a 30 minute Wildcat Wrap-Up special below that aired following the OSU game.
The normal "quick" replay of the game Ohio State game got auto blocked due to a TV commercial, so I waited until the commercial free replay was ready to make this post. Use the link below (or click the image) to watch the game now. A Leach & Pratt radio sync is being worked on, but it probably won't be ready to go until late Sunday night.
The next game will be on Saturday, December 26th as Kentucky takes on in-state rival Louisville. Check back on the site as the game gets closer for info on live streams and replays.
