Recommended HP: 3,000
HP: Vize: 7,000, Anita: 8,000, Faina: 6,500
Special Attacks: Anything that your party has
Color: Vize: Blue, Anita: Red, Faina: Yellow
EXP: 6,251
MagicEXP: 6
Items: Tuna Cutlass, Swirlmerang, Focus Robe
Strategy:
These three are basically a clone of your group. Faina uses ONLY magic attacks, Aika is support, and Vize usues all types of physical attacks. To fight these three, you have to have finished Yafutoma, and have the name, Vyse the Fallen Pirate. Go to the Sailors Guild in Nasar, and look on the wanted list, you should be on there. After this, go back out to the main town, and exit to the docks. Then go back into the main tow, Vize should be standing on the higher levels, close to the palace. Choose to talk to him to initiate battle. If he is not there, keep exiting the main area and rentering. When you are finally able to fight them, you will notice something on the first turn. They use your same attacks, meaning they can be just as deadly as you are. I suggest starting with Anita or Faina, as they cause the most threat. Vize will attack, but most of the time he will usually use Revenge (Vyse's Counterstrike), with a Cutlass Wrath (Cutlass Fury) every once in a while. I suggest using Delta Sheild, as it will make you immune to all of Faina's spells, which can be rather strong. IMO, the worst threat in this battle is actually Anita. She casts the support spells, and will use Anita Burst(Lambda Burst) for over 1,000 damage to all of your characters. She also sometimes casts Anita Sheild(Delta Sheild) making the battle more annoying. On the second round of this battle, make sure you have Fina use Lunar Winds, as Anita will have cast support spells on their party, and you need all the help you can get. Focus a lot at the beginning of the battle, as you need to get your power up. I personally went for Faina first, as with Delta Sheild, I cant get support spells off, and you rather need them in this battle, as all the enemies are faster then you normally. It also lowers (Slightly) the Spirit you use a round. Killing her is rather easy with Vyse using Cutlass Fury or Pirates Wrath(preferably the latter), as she does not have the highest defense. You may want to have Enrique use Justice Sheild throughout the fight. I suggest attacking Anita with the same things as you did Faina, but she will take a lot longer to kill off. She is fast and dangerous, so be warned. People, this is how you use Aika! Have Fina on healing duty during the entire battle, as you may get some abnormal statuses, and Vizes Cutlass Wrath does about 2,000+ unguarded/unincremed. Do not attack Vize with normal attacks, as he usually casts Revenge, and you will get a powerful counterstrike if you do attack him normally. Use Cutlass Fury, Pirates Wrath and any attack you want with Enrique, to finish Vize off.
Location: Dark Rift
Boss: Elcian
My Average Level: 48 (I did this on the DC version...my level was lower in that version then the game I am doing currently.)
Recommended HP: 5,000
HP: Varies, over 20,000
Special Attacks: Run, Strong Spells, and a killer Physical attack(normal one)
EXP: Varies each time you fight him, but usually over 6,000
MagicEXP: Also Varies, usually over 9
Items: Elcian drops random items each time you fight him. He drops every item in the game, and some of his rarer drops, are Valuan Medal, Dexus Seed, and another Black Map. Special thanks to Daniel Grenda for this bit of info.
Strategy:
You have to prepare before the fight with Elcian. Make sure your characters are able to revive with Rislem, and that they are at full strength when you begin this battle. Also make absolutely sure that VYSE HAS THE BLACK MAP EQUIPPED! Or else Elcian will run away, leaving an incredibly annoyed player. To fight Elcian, you have to be right before Soltis. Go into the Dark Rift from the Yafutoma side, and fly in a bit. On the same screen where you fought Anguila, a little black Looper will be toward the bottom. Also note that this is based on the Dreamcasat version of Elcian, so it may change when I get fight the Legends version. Elcian is extremely strong. His Physical attacks alone cause from 4,500 damage up. And as a Looper, he is very fast, almost always getting the first attack. You do NOT want to be hit by ANY of his spells, as that will completely screw you. So at the beginning of EVERY round have Aika cast Delta Shield, I cant say how much I stress that. I know what you may be thinking. If I am immune to his magic then that puts me at the mercy of his deadly physical attacks, right? Well yes, but he can only attack one character per round while if he gets his stronger spells off, he can obliterate your party in one attack. But his attacks do cause you not to gain spirit sometimes, making it harder to win. Elcian, Like any sane Looper, has insane evasion. Do not attack him, as it will not do any any damage. You will be taking a counter attack risk every time you attack him as well, making another character die in one turn, so be warned. I suggest you have Fina do all the reviving, and she is rather fast. Note that you will have to use items, so make sure you have enough of them going into this battle. Your Fourth character (mine is usually Enrique) should also help with Reviving and , or he should focus to help get more attacks off. Vyse will be your major damage dealer here, as he is the only one that may not be busy. Vyse should use Cutlass Fury, as Pirates Wrath does about 500 damage to Elcian, at the beginning. You will notice though, that the more you do an attack, the less damage it does to Elcian. Soon Cutlass Fury will be doing 500 damage, meaning you should go up to Pirates Wrath. When i used Pirates Wrath, at this point, it did 3,500 damage. But before you attack with him, on the first turn, have Fina(or the fourth character) use a Glyph of Might on him to make all of his attacks stronger. And I do not suggest using Prophecy, as you will be forced to face the wrath of one of his spells for a turn, risking death. Just make sure with Fina and your Fourth character that you try and keep full HP at all times, at least with 3 charcaters. To make matters worse, Elcian will heal himself with Sacres from time to time, making one of your attacks worthless. This battle will take forever, so be patient. Good Luck.
From Justin Goddard:
I have a very useful tactic for once you obtain Enrique, have him cast Justice Shield every turn and Aika cast Delta Shield every turn. This in turn reduces physical attacks by 50% and also protects you against pesky magic like the eterni spells. Though it does block support magic, you can always use glyph of might/speed and Sacri/Sacres/Sacrum/Sacrulen Crystals. Have Fina focus every turn, unless someone needs healing, and Vyse use Pirates Wrath every turn he can, otherwise have him focus aswell. Using this tactic I've beat all the bounties and Ramirez.
Location: Multiple Locations
Boss: Zivilyn Bane
My Average level: Varies
Recommended HP: Over 1000
HP: Varies
Special Attacks: Burst
EXP: Varies
MagicEXP: Varies
Items: Varies
Strategy:
There are many Zivilyn Banes in the world. He is a strange and mysterious treasure hunter who will fight you to protect what is his. He isn’t really that hard, but his Burst attack ALWAYS does a lot of damage. The first time alone it does 800, and that is almost enough to kill you. Zivilyn is also a master of countering your attacks. He does it a lot, so between that and the Burst attack you may be screwed. Just be warned that when his HP get low enough to use the Burst attack, he will! So heal up!
