It's not too hard to do if you play around with the keywords for a little bit, but in case you're struggling, this is to help you. ///////// Contact// ///////// Please send requests, comments, criticism, corrections etc. to: E-mail: mirkmageofdeath@hotmail.com or IM me AIM: Phreakshow08 //////////////// Hints and Tips// //////////////// -Always carry healing items. Casting repth takes time and sometimes you'll find that you need quick healing over cost-efficient healing. -Always carry magic scrolls. It's the same as the above. When you're still low level, one tornado magic scroll can eliminate a whole group of monsters. -In general, it's to your advantage to be holding 30+ fortune wires and 20+ or so antidotes/restoratives (I always have 99 of each). Trapped chests are common in all areas and status effects are common in nearly all as well. -Always travel with as many comrades as you can. Experience points are not divided between characters so having a bigger party just makes it easier to kill monsters. -Though it may not seem like it, at high levels, travelling with another fighter and a wavemaster is not always the best strategy. It's easier to have two fighters and use healing items to heal them then have to wait for a wavemaster to heal you with repth/la repth etc. A variation on this strategy is bringing two wavemasters (ie elk and mistral) and having them waste every enemy with spells while you heal them if they get hurt. //////////// Levels 1-5// //////////// _ |Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field Field Level: 1 Element: Water Additional Notes: This is the first field you visit with Orca in the very beginning of the game. However, after you are allowed to act on your own (after you encounter Balmung) you should revisit this field, revisit the dungeon, and fight the monsters on the last (third) floor. This should propell you to level 2 which may not seem like much, but is actually a great help in the beginning. _ |Discovered Primitive Touchstone Field Level: 1 Element: Fire Additional Notes: This field is actually found after you meet Mia for the first time. It's a pre-set dungeon found on the message boards. After hitting level 2, it'd be a good idea to team up with Black Rose and tackle this field and its dungeon. The dungeon is of reasonable size and will take you to level 5. _ |Bursting Forbidden Sea of Sand Field Level: 2 Element: Fire Additional Notes: Oh no melons can be found in this desert field. The dungeon is small (two floors) but gives decent experience for levels 1-3. Bloody Eggs are in the dungeon. _ |Indiscreet Law's Remnant Field Level: 2 Element: Earth Additional Notes: The dungeon takes a bit of time to find. It contains immature eggs and is four stories. _ |Bursting Haunted Remnant Field Level: 2 Element: Wood Additional Notes: Invisible Eggs can be found within this area's dungeon. _ |Greedy Destroyer's March Field Level: 2 Element: Fire Additional Notes: n/a _ |Bursting Talisman Touchstone Field Level: 2 Element: Darkness Additional Notes: Be prepared for a few enemies when you first warp into this field. La Pumpkins can be found in this field. _ |Hidden Haunted Holy Ground Field Level: 4 Element: Water Additional Notes: Cordyceps can be found in the field. The dungeon may be difficult to find because the field is very broad and doesn't have too many portals. There are bear cat eggs within the dungeon. _ |Soft Talisman Melody Field Level: 5 Element: Darkness Additional Notes: The dungeon of this field is four stories and contains bloody eggs. Oh no melons are in the field. ///////////// Levels 6-10// ///////////// _ |Dog-Dancing Passed Over March Field Level: 6 Element: Fire Additional Notes: Prepare to be attacked as soon as you warp to this field. If you're not sure you're high enough level to be fighting here, don't choose this field to find out. _ |Greedy Solitary Touchstone Field Level: 6 Element: Wood Additional Notes: n/a _ |Expansive Someone's Twin Hills Field Level: 7 Element: Thunder Additional Notes: This fields dungeon can be very difficult at times. There are statues that can inflict painful hits and can also revive fallen enemies. Encountering two of these monsters at the same time makes the dungeon even more difficult because if you kill one, it can be revived by the other. (Revision Note: If you encounter two of these enemies, data drain one, kill the other, then kill the data drained one.) Bring magic. _ |Expansive Geothermal Holy Ground Field Level: 7 Element: Water Additional Notes: Dungeon is 3 floors and contains monsters that revive, monsters that poison, and monsters that lower your attack (so that you do about 1 damage a hit). This can be a deadly combination so bring restorations and antidotes. _ |Closed Hot-Blooded Sea of Sand Field Level: 10 Element: Fire Additional Notes: Oh No Melons can be found in the field. Be careful here, many monsters wander the field including fake treasure chests that can cast confuse and easily eliminate you and your party (especially if you get surrounded). ////////////// Levels 11-15// ////////////// Soon to come ////////////// Levels 16-20// ////////////// Soon to come ////////////// Levels 21-25// ////////////// _ |Dog Dancing Orange Messenger Server: Theta Field Level: 25 Element: Water Additional Notes: n/a _ |Buried Talisman Touchstone Server: Theta Field Level: 25 Element: Darkness Additional Notes: n/a _ |Indiscreet Forbidden Melody Server: Theta Field Level: 25 Element: Wood Additional Notes: n/a ////////////// Levels 26-30// ////////////// _ |Sleepy Talisman Scent Server: Theta Field Level: 28 Element: Darkness Additional Notes: n/a _ |Beautiful Despaired Touchstone Server: Theta Field Level: 29 Element: Water Additional Notes: White Cherries are in the field. _ |Voluptuous Distant Great Seal Server: Theta Field Level: 30 Element: Fire Additional Notes: n/a --- After hitting the higher levels, everyone starts looking for level 28-30 dungeons to level up. If you don't know what you're doing it's sometimes difficult to find one, but it's actually quite easy. If you use certain keywords for A and B, you can create high level dungeons no matter what the third keyword is. For Level 28-30 Dungeons enter: Chosen Orange For Level 29 Dungeons enter: Great Pagan For Level 30 dungeons enter: Lonely Silent Lonely Hopeless ////////////// Secret Areas// ////////////// _ |Voluptuous Her Remnant Server: Delta Field Level: 3 Element: Fire Additional Notes: In the Gott Statue you'll find a rare level 8 armor (Kagayuzen) and rare level 1 twin blades (Rusty Nails). _ |Hideous Organ Market Scaffold Server: Delta Field Level: 14 Element: Wood Additional Notes: In the Gott Statue you'll find an "Ice Bar" (I have no clue what it's for). _ |Dog Dancing Passionate Tri Pansy Server: Theta Field Level: 19 Element: Earth Additional Notes: In the Gott Statue you'll find a rare level 33 helm (Ceramic Helm) and rare level 12 twin blades (Soul Blades). _ |Hideous Someone's Giant Server: Delta Field Level: 30 Element: Water Additional Notes: This is the secret field that's keywords are emailed to you after you beat the game. On the second floor of the dungeon you will find the Parasite Dragon, the secret boss of the dungeon. The Dragon's HP is 9999 and he hits your guys pretty hard. DATA DRAIN this monster to recieve a pair of rare level 14 twin blades. /////////////////// Chronicling Areas// /////////////////// Four words for you (three keywords =P): Chronicling Pagan Sunny Demon This area is the absolute best for the time dungeons. It's low level, the dungeon can be seen from the spawn point on the field, and you only have to fight monsters in the dungeon about 3 times. I believe the fastest way to get to the bottom of the dungeon is by taking a right at the first intersection, going forward at the next, and then taking a right at the next two (I might be wrong on that, it's from memory). With a speedcharm, you can get to the Zeit Statue in under two minutes. ///////////// Grunty Food// ///////////// For those of you looking for fields with specific foods, this is practically straight from the in-game message boards: Put the B (2nd) keyword as: Solitary for Piney Apple Gluttonous for Twilight Onion Someone's for Cordyceps Destroyer's for Oh No Melons Put the C (3rd) keyword as: Hypha for Mushroom Aqua Field for Mandragora Paradise for La Pumpkin Fierty Sands for Snaky Cactus White Devil for White Cherry ///////////// Next Update// ///////////// The next update will be adding fields to the levels 11-15, 16-20, and 21-25 sections. Update: I'm over this guide, it's too bad for me to update anymore =P.
