\===============================================\ / I. Introduction / \===============================================\
My Third FAQ ever. Again I want to give a special thanks to Scy06, Terence, Koola, and the Japanese Wiki sites I obtained my information from. In this guide you will Find many helpful things for Etrian Odyssey II. The meat of this FAQ consist of Each Classes Skills and a much deeper look into them. I hope everyone can find something in my FAQ that they didnt previously know about a skill, class, or just the game in general.
When looking at all the various information throughout this FAQ, I ask thatif you see something that is misspelled, please overlook it. A spell Check andoverall revision is in process. The guide itself is not far from completetionAlthough, if you happen to see some information that is wrong, please bring it to my attention. Please keep in mind that while I was comparing informationthat I collected with some of the Information collected by the contributors, I noticed some minor differences in percentages for some skills. If anyone hasactually tested the skills for any class themselves, Please submit the dataor just let me know it is correct. Credit Will be given of course.
Something Else I would like to Accomplish is getting the specs for Every Level of Every Skill. I only need to finsh a few more classes. I also planon having the stats for every enemy soon as well.
Another Section I would like to add is a detailed look at the different Party choices available to the Player. I ask that you, please, submit your Party choice with a detailed explanation. I would like it if Scy046, Terence, Koola, Zaraf, and really anybody else that likes this game submit information to this new section that is coming soon, you know so that I can get it started...

\===============================================\ / II. Whats New to Etrian Odyssey II / \===============================================\
This section offers a closer look at whats new with detailed information.This section will include, New Character Classes, The New Force Skills,whats New in Battles, The Geomagnetic Fields, Poles, whats changed when Exploring, details of the map, and things new in Town.
There are quite a few differences when comparing Etrian Odyssy II to the first. I believe everyone expected there to be some New Classes. What was expected, but what wasnt? Well for me, Etrian Odyssey II is a
great Sequel. Some beg to differ. Ive heard people say that this game feels like nothing more then a mere expansion with a few extra features. Well This Section will list mostly everything that is new to the Sequel.
====================================<> The New Character Classes <> TNCC====================================
There are 3 New Classes total in Etrian Odyssey II. I wouldve liked atleast one other New class in addition to the new ones we have, but what are you gonna do. The New Classes do open up many new possibilities for your party. Each of the New Classes has its advantages and each is verygood. I suggest Trying each Class out, not just the new ones, so you can get a feel for each one and see which suits your playing style best.
-------Gunner=======
My favorite of the new classes. Some may ask "Are Gunners the NEW Alchemist?"Yes and no. The only similarities to the Alchemist that the Gunner shares istheir Elemental Attacks. The Gunner can Shoot off rounds with Fire, Ice, or Volt properties. The Gunner cannot poison enemies. The Alchemist also received a nice upgrade which allows them to use physical Elements as well.
The Gunner has some very good skills, the only downfall is the high TP costfor each skill. Some of their better skills cost 11TP at only Level 1. Another Skill cost 13TP at level one. So It would be wise to pump someskill points into your Gunner's TP Up. At least to level 5. That way you canunleash your Gunners full potential Trust me, Maxed, these Skills will costyou anywhere from 13-21 TP yeah thats a lot. So 100+TP could easily be depleted in merely 5-7 turns.
----------War Magus==========
Another Wonderful Class added to the Roster. War Magus Combines a Little ofEverything into one package. The War Magus will really fit nicely in anyParty. They will definitely outshine others in partys that contain a Hexer. You see the War Magus has these skills thats power is enhanced if the targethas a certain status. The Hexer is great for inflicting status. So you caneasily have a devastating combo on your hands.
Another thing the War Magus class is good for is their ability to heal. While they wont be able to learn Revive, Salve 3, or Phoenix. They will beable to learn Cure 1,2 and 3 as well as Salve 1 and 2. They can also wieldswords and staves. With a Sword in hand, your magus easily becomes a hardhitting healer. Just be ready to have some nectars ready.
------Beast======
Unlocked after completing the first Stratum. The Beast is the only class that needs unlocking. Some say the Beast is a Protector on Steroids. TheBeast has some of the Protectors good skills or are somewhat similar to them. They have their own versions of the Protectors Provoke and Parry, which for the Beast are Preen and Wildwall. The Beast also has its ownversion of Aegis called Tenacity. The Protectors F. and B. Guard arequite similar to the Beast Skill Loyalty Which allows the Beast to guardand take damage in the party members place. Those arent the only Skills, the Beast can also learn En Garde.
Aside from those skills the Beast will deal a tremendous amount of Damage and the Beast will have more HP then any other class. The Beast can alsoHeal itself and Party Members, Automatically recover from Negative Statuseffects, Drain an Enemy's HP, Terrorize Enemies, and a few others.
=======================<> Force Skills <> FCSK=======================
Remember the basically useless boost ability in the First game. Well theyhave done away with that crappy technique and made something completelydifferent. Force Skills. Force Skills are like your classes ultimate Skill.You have a force bar which you can see during battle for each character. Every time your character acts, the bar will increase slightly. After the bar fills up, you can use that Characters Force Skill. Unfortunately, the bar will reset if you happen to return to town. Something you can do is heal your HP/TP with items. Then the bar will not reset. You could alsoForce Grind, After resting at the inn the bar resets, so go out, and justauto battle, no skills. This way you will fill up your bar and not wasteTP, You�ll be ready for any battle. You can save at a Geomagnetic Fieldwithout the force bar resetting.
I will list each classes Force Skill. You can see how they differ fromclass to class. Each classes is unique. Each Force Skill can ultimatelychange the fate of any battle.
----------------------Dark Hunter- Dominate: Concentrated attack completely binds a single enemy.============----------
--------------------Protector- Painless: Nullifies all damage to the Party for one turn.==========----------
-----------------Gunner- Riot Gun: A Focused, powerful gunshot that will definitely stun =======---------- the Enemy.
---------------Medic- H.Touch: Special healing arts restore party's HP and Status======---------
-------------Ronin- Issen: Slash all enemies in an attempt to kill with a single======------- Stroke. 500% Damage, 50% Chance for Instant KO.
--------------------Alchemist- Eschaton: Release a forbidden almighty spell to destroy
==========---------- all enemies.
---------------------Landsknecht- All Out: Powerful, Charging slash attack that targets ============--------- all enemies.
------------------War Magus- Invoke: Restores the party's HP and boost all elemental ==========-------- Resistances.
---------------Hexer- Caprice: The cursed bell's chime inflicts Multiple Ailments======--------- on all Enemies.
---------------------Survivalist- Airwalk: Increase the party's speed and evade rate ============--------- with fancy footwork.
-------------------Trobadour- Crusade: Secret song that increases the party's attack,==========--------- defense, and HP.
----------------Beast- Salivall: Licks the party's wounds, fully restoring their======---------- HP and Status.
=======================================<> Geomagnetic Poles and Fields <> GPAF
=======================================
Geomagnetic Fields were a lifesaver in Etrian Odyssey. They allowed youto save your game, return to town, and they allowed you to return to themfrom town making your life alot easier. They put one of these Fields every 5 floors from the 6th. The thing about them was, say you made it 4floors above the last field you reached, you are exhausted and need to return to town to rest. You use a Warp Wire. Now after your done in town and you want to go back, you would have to goto the field and work your way all the way back up to where you were.
While that did add an extra level of difficulty to the game, they decided to even it out a little by adding these new devices, they are called Geomagnetic Poles.
Geomagnetic Poles are somewhat similar to Geomagnetic Fields. While youwont be able to save at a pole and you wont be able to return to town froma pole. You will however be able to return to a Pole from town. There aremany Poles throughout the Labyrinth, you will find a Geomagnetic field every 5 floors, the first field is on 6F, you will find Geomagnetic Polesevery couple-few floors.
The Downfall? You can only have one Pole activated at a time!
They also added, well, changed I guess, what used to be a Magnet in EtrianOdyssey, is now a Warp Stone in Etrian Odyssey II. Using one will take youto the last used field. Although they havent seemed to work for me yet. I suppose maybe if you use a Pole to get into the Labyrinth, then you wontbe able to use the Warp Stone. Warp Stones are good for returning to a field to save your game. This way you wont loose your Force Points.
============================================<> Exploring, Battles and Map Options <> EBMO============================================
----------Exploring- Not much is new to Exploring. The Labyrinth this time around
========== is more vibrant. The only real changes to exploring is that now you can move from side to side by hitting L or R. This was not possible in the first game. Finding the secret shortcuts were tedious. Now you can find them with ease.
--------Battles- There are a few changes to the battles. First things first, the ======== developers went and added a bunch of new battle animations making battles more impressive. Another thing that was added is the option to hit the L button. Doing so will speed up the battle speed, cause every character in the party to attack only, and you will not see any battle animations.
------------Map Options- Not alot has changed here. When Zoomed in you can now see ============ an extra row of tiles and you can even draw Lines(Walls) on them. There are several more icons at your disposal. They went and added 2 additional Search point icons. Also added were Directional Arrows which are very helpful in marking shortcuts or directional means on the 19th Floor. They also included a locked door in addition to the regular door icon. Finally, you can mark tiles different colors. You can now mark tiles tan or sky blue in addition to the normal Blue/green color.
Check out "Frequently Asked Questions" for more info on all the Map Icons.
--------------FOE Movements- FOEs are no stranger to Etrian Odyssey, but there is ============== something new about them in Etrian Odyssey II. They now can move in different ways, some can fly, and some cant be seen on the map at all. I made this section so you can get an idea of how these FOEs move. Knowing how they move will better help and understand how to manuever around them undetected.
Type---------Movement ===================== Fixed--------Does not move from its inital Postion. Normal-------Follows a track only. (Lap) Nocturnal----Only Moves at night, Fixed During the day. Slow---------For every 2 Steps you take, it will move 1. Stealth------Foe can not be seen on the Map. Flying-------Can move through non walkable terrain. Confused-----Takes 3 steps forward and then 1 step back. Stalking-----Appears on map when in battle, then Pursues.
Raging-------Appears when close by, then Pursues. Aggressive---Pursues when close by, otherwise is normal.
------------------New Save Feature - They added a new quicksave feature this time around.================== To activate it simply go into the menu and hit Start. I am glad they did this, during the first game I would always just close the DS putting it into sleep mode instead of turning it off. The reason being there really wasnt anywhere to save and you couldnt get back to the same spot as easily. Now there are Poles and a Quicksave. I never use the quicksave thou, im just into the habit of shutting the DS in between playing.
===========================<> Whats New in Town <> WNIT===========================
-----------Flaus Inn - The place where you sleep. You can Restore all your HP and TP=========== here by sleeping or napping. It doesnt matter which you choose, both cost and do the same to your characters. When you sleep, you will wake up at 6am, when you nap you wake up at 6 pm. Of course sleeping until 6am passes a day. Something quite useful when wanting to rebattle previous FOEs or Bosses.
Whats New to the inn is now you can store items there. They added a Store Goods option to the inn's Menu. After selecting it your inventory will come up. You can then select which items to store at the inn. You can use Y to select multiple items to store. The only catch is that it cost 100en for each item you store there. Whenever you want your item, you can just go there and pick it up. You can store up to 100 Items.
----------------Sitoth Trading - This is the Shop in town where you will Buy all your================ Weapons, Armor, Accessories, and general items. You also Sell all the loot you obtained in the labyrinth. Selling the loot will unlock new stuff you can buy.
The new additions to the shop are decent. What I like is that now on the bottom screen, instead of seeing the Map, you can see your characters and what they have equipped. You can hit L or R to change the character you are Viewing. What I dont like is that you can no longer open the Menu at the shop. I generally liked being able to open the menu because I liked to see what Items I did/didnt have. I do this because once again Etrian Odyssey failed to put in a space that mentions how many of the item you are viewing you have in your possession. Since you can no longer open the menu, I just go into the sell option to quickly view what items I do have.
They did however add a Change Equipment option, where you can do just that conveniently on the bottom screen while at the shop.
---------------Duke's Palace - The Duke's Palace is where you take on all the main =============== Missions associated with the games story. There is also an option to view the Monsters youve seen and items you collected. The Newest addition is you can now also see the weapons you have Collected/Unlocked in the shop.
-----------------Explorers Guild - The Explorer's Guild, its where all your party creating================= will go down. You can also Rest or Retire your Characters if needed. Whats new this time around? Well, thats a good question. Not a lot, but there is stuff that is new. First, you can now change the name of Characters for a small fee. I think its 1000en, Not a bad deal if you ask me. Another thing that is new, not to mention completely awesome, is now when you want to Rest your Character, instead of the character dropping 10 levels, they will only drop 5. Makes Resting an easier task. When you Rest the character that rested will drop 5 levels but all their skill points will be reset. You only get as many skill points as you would normally have at your current level after resting. When you Retire, you give up your character and get to create a new one. This new one is supposed to be trained by the character you
just retired. It will be half the level of the retiring Character, but will not be higher then 30. The New character will get a nice stat bonus plus extra skill points. The Higher the character that is retiring is, the better the bonus. Here is a better look at the Bonuses given when Retiring a Character
LV.30 - LV.39 = 4 Additional Skill Points plus 4 points added to each Stat LV.40 - LV.49 = 5 Additional Skill Points plus 3 points added to each Stat LV.50 - LV.59 = 6 Additional Skill Points plus 4 points added to each Stat LV.60 - LV.69 = 7 Additional Skill Points plus 5 points added to each Stat LV.70 - LV.98 = 8 Additional Skill Points plus 5 points added to each Stat LV.99 = 10 Additional Skill Points plus 10 points added to each Stat
\===============================================\ / III. Character Classes and Their Skills / \===============================================\
This section is the so called meat of this FAQ. Inside are all the Skillbreakdowns for each class. There is also a Nice little Stat box for eachclass that shows their stats at level 1, 70, and 99. I also have SKillHighlights which are my recommended skills. These arent neccassarily theskills that you should use, what I mean is, it is your game, you should pickthe skills you want your characters to have, plus, Resting is alot easier inthis game, so if you dont like the choices you made with your chracters,dont be afraid to use the REST option at the Explorer's Guild.

The Dark Hunter, One of my favorite classes. They are a devastating force tobe reckoned with. Their ability to use Whips and Swords is also nice. Somemay say to only go the way of one. I like to mix up a little of both.Especially since doing so will grant you the Bait Skill. If you arent intoBinding, Whips do not offer that much. So Binding is really like the Whips main purpose. Well I will Explain the benefits of each weapon's skills below.
In addition to the Front Row. Dark Hunters can be used in the Back row and bejust as effective. They wont deal as much damage, but they will Bind orinflict status effects just as well.
Whips allow The Dark Hunter to inflict Poison with the Skill Viper. Viper isa great Skill that will only cost 5 Skill Points to MAX. You also have the three Binding Skills. Each individually either Binds the Arms, Legs, orHead. The one you chose to Put points into is soley up to you. A lot of
Bosses devastating moves can be disabled with arm bindings. See the Boss FAQ for more info on that. Another Whip Skill is Ecstasy. Ecstasy seems toteam up perfectly with the Dark Hunters Force Skill Dominate. Ecstasy dealsa lot of damage to completely bound enemies. Other then Dominate, completelyBinding an enemy is Rare. You can however use the Binding Skills of other allies. The Final Whip Skill is Climax. Climax is an Instant Death Skill. You really should get Climax to a high level. Having it at a High Level, youwill be able to use it to its full potential. You should have it at leastLV.6, which will instantly Kill when an enemy's HP is below 25%.
The Sword Skills are equally as good, if not better, as Whips. Sword Skillsare for inflicting Status effects. While a Dark Hunter's Status inflictions are nothing compared to that of a Hexer, they are still fairly decent. The Dark Hunter can inflict sleep, Paralyze, Confusion, and Petrify. If you have Whips also your Dark hunter can Inflict Poison too. Not Bad. But if you want want to learn the full line of status inflicting skills, You more then likelywont have much room for others. One other Sword Skill, that I think is the best, is Drain. Drain will deal good damage and when MAXed all the damage dealt with it will heal your Dark Hunter. Drain is another skill that only goes up to LV.5, which makes MAXing it a lot easier. While using this skill your Dark Hunter will rarely need healing.
Now the benefit of pumping points into both Whips and Swords is Bait and Magibait. The big momma chicken of Skills for the Dark Hunter. Bait doesgreat damage when maxed and will counter every hit taken in the front row.To use Bait to its fullest I highly suggest placing your Dark Hunter in themiddle of the Front Row. When placed there, Ive seen the Dark Hunter Counter5 times in just one turn, each hit doing great damage. For all these bosses and FOES that hit multiple times in one turn, bait and magibait will light their world up.
=============================Dark Hunter - Second Opinion=============================
Major Skills: Dominate, Climax, Antisick, Antibind
Description: Dark Hunters are one of my favorite classes in the game. They also have two of the absolute best skills in the game. Climax is amazing, especially against certain bosses and against enemies with high HP. I love that it's a guaranteed OHKO, unlike any other death strike in the game. The second is dominate, the only force skill I ever use (and the only one I will waste axcelas for). I am not a fan of winning by lucky binds or statuses (as I have the worst luck getting them to work), so a guaranteed complete bind of an enemy is very good news. Besides these two though, the Dark Hunter falls to the side for me. They have great strength and good agility, but so many of their attacks may or may not do their effects. Also, as I am a Ronin fan, bait and magibait don't do much for me. Antibind and Antisick are awesome for dealing with status monsters. Dark Hunters are a nice addition to almost any team, in the front or back.

------------------Racket==================Needed to Unlock: N/AFoe Skill
Loud noises draw FOEs to the spot where the skill is used.
Skill Highlights = Shields, En Garde, Aegis, Smite, F.Guard
The Protector, some perfer the class, some dont. While some of their skills may seem useless to some people, others may see them as lifesavers. TheProtector ditched its useful skill Defender, Which boosted the defenseof the entire party, for a couple more Shield Skills. The Protector alsohas some of the Highest Defenses in the game. My Protector is always the last one standing and can take numerous hits before falling.
The Protector has the highest VIT. Hits that only somewhat damage the Protector will straight up take out other chracters. Protectors are tough.Making them tougher isnt a dumb choice either, putting points into VIT Up will help. MAXing Shields early Is a good choice for two reason. The first being it will help raise your defense making you tougher. The secondbecause doing so will unlock Smite, the only real offensive Skill the Protector may learn. F.Guard is something you may want to get to help protectyour party. You can pass on B.Guard since most attacks will be targeted atthe front row and party members in the back row tend to take less damage thenthose in the front. If you are someone who would just like your whole partyto be protected, then All Guard is for you. All Guard Protects the Front andBack Row against enemy attacks, but your characters will take more damage
===========================Protector - Second Opinion===========================
Skill Highlights: Aegis, F Guard, B Guard, En Garde, Shields, Anti-(element)
Description: I was pleasantly surprised by this class. I figured protectors would be weak offensively, which is not entirely true. They are certainly supposed to be protecting the group, but they are not bad offensively either. Aegis and en garde are very nice passive skills. Shields is good to make their defense even better. The anti- skills can be very useful in certain situations (such as elemental creatures), and the Guard abilities can be good for dealing with offensively strong enemies. Don't knock them until you've tried them, especially if you are using Dragonbane as your sword. They are also good in both the front and the back lines.

Im actually quite pleased with the way the NEW Gunner class turned out. They are very versatile and their wide variety of skills makes them a goodadditon to any party. What Party doesnt need some good support from the back row? Maybe you used an Alchemist in the first game and your looking forsomething new, well the Gunner is able to deal elemental damage with Fire shot, Ice Shot, and Volt Shot. They also will come in handy when you go up
against an enemy that is only vulnerable to Peirce attacks.
========================Gunner - Second opinion========================
Description: YARGHHHHHHHH! This WOULD be one of the absolute best classes if they weren't so slow (and guns slow them even further). With 2-hit and weakshot, your normal attacks will become pretty powerful in their own right. Riot Gun is a nice force skill in that it stuns the enemy, causing them to lose a turn. Stunshot is also nice for the same reason. And having the elemental shots is just a nice addition when you need an attack that is not physical. The only downside is they are SLOW, almost guaranteed to go last, so your enemies will get their first strike in before you can take them out. If gunners become faster in the next game, they may actually knock out Ronins for my favorite unit as they are still full strength in the back.

------------------Stunshot==================Needed to Unlock: Guns LV.5
The Medic, one of my favorite classes. I love what Atlus did with the Medicthis time around. I can have a front line Battle ready Medic that is great for dealing damage as well as healing my Party Memebers. If you want to gowith the battle Medic, I suggest doing it after retiring a character. The additional Skill Points and Stat boost are Amazing for a Front Line Medic.I recently retired my LV.70 Back Line Healing only Medic and recruited a Front Line Medic. Now, my Medic deals more damage then any of my othercharacters.
If you want a Front Line Medic, You will definitely want the Skill Caduceus.Caduceus cost a lot of TP, but the damage it deals out, especially for a Medic, is outstanding. Unlocking Caduceus will require STR Up with 10 Skill Points and VIT Up with 5. After unlocking Caduceus why not just go ahead andMAX out VIT Up. The Extra defense will be nice for you Medic. Another thingYou should get, but at a later level, is TP Regen. TP Regen will go alonggreat with Caduceus's high TP cost. Not to mention TP Up is a must have. Isuggest keeping the Skill Points used on Healing Skills at a minimum. Justraise them enough so they do their job. I suggest having Cure 1+2, Revive, and Phoenix. If you have the Points then a Salve 1 or 2 will go nice.
Now if you just want an old fashioned Medic for the Back Line, then you should be ignoring Caduceus, STR Up, and VIT Up all together. Focus all your Skill Points into healing and support. Even take a chance with CPR.From my Experience, CPR is a rather good skill. Youll be surprised how oftenit will save your Party.
What would I do without my Medic, Id probably be forced to spend a bunch of Money on healing items. If you dont want to spend a bunch of Money onhealing items, then I suggest every party should contain at least one Medic or at least one Warmagus, one of the NEW classes. The only thing about the Warmagus is, they lack the skill Revive. The Medic ditchesImmunize from the original game, which really was a very good skill whichboosted both the party's physical and elemental defense. Unfortunately
it isnt Present in EO2. Dont worry, they threw in a couple of new Skills that can be rather useful, that is, if you feel like spending the Skill points Required to dig them out. Oh and you remember that Joke in the first Etrian Odyssey called H.Touch, well they revamped it up into aForce skill, lets just say it aint playing this time around.
<><>NEW<><>
Also, When Medics use Items, I noticed the amount of HP healed is muchgreater then any other character. Im not sure if this is because of the Healer Skill, or if it is just because of the Medic's high TEC. I noticedwhen any other character would use a Nectar II the amount of HP healed wouldonly be about 200-300, but when my Medic used one, the amount healed was 500+. Pretty good for a Nectar II right? I can assume that this bonus applies to any items that dont heal a fixed amount, like a Soma for instance.
=======================Medic - Second Opinion=======================
Description: Okay, first of all I disagree with front-line medics. There are simply too many good other front line units (such as ronins). With that said, medics are indispensable when you first play through. Patch up is a great way to go exploring without the worry of healing up. TP regen keeps your medic's tp up even when in the labyrinth for more than a day. Revive is just incredible. The cures and salves work wonders too. The best skill though is CPR, which has saved my rear many times throughout the game. I don't like Phoenix though (just use nectalls). The reason medics do not have a very high rating from me is that they lose usefulness later on in the game (who needs to heal if your Ronins are killing on the first turn?).

The Ronin, a powerful Samuri warrior. A class that you needed to unlock inthe first game. Well in this game the Ronin class is available from thestart. The Ronin is a strong arm with low defense. They have these stance skills that allow them to learn many different types of slashes and theycan even add elements to their blades. What is new to EO2 is that you no longer have to waste a turn to set the stance you want to perform a skillfrom Which is definitely a plus. You could decide to only take your Ronindown one path in terms of stances. There are 3 different stances total with 4 skills each, 2 of which are elemental. The Ronin also has some goodskills that dont require a stance. Overall, the Ronin is a Powerful class, although the low defense is something to watch out for, always give your Ronin your best armor, they will need it.
The Ronin is also able to perform all Elements and all Phsyical Elements.
=======================Ronin - Second Opinion=======================
Skill Highlights: Clarity, Shiraha, Midareba
Description: Welcome to my favorite class by far! Ronins are the ultimate class in my opinion. In fact, I have beaten Ur-Child with an all-Ronin team. Best thing is that there are only three major skills to watch out for (although others are very good too). Shiraha avoids a good portion of attacks automatically and clarity increasing avoidance even more, especially when health is low. Midareba allows a Ronin to hit three times in one turn with strong blows (allowing for up to 15 attacks in one turn for my all-Ronin team). What more could you want? Also, their speed and strength are top-notch and especially strength will max out to the 99 fast with equipment. Speaking of equipment, they are the only class besides beasts with special equipment just for them that's even better than normal equipment, especially the Masamune, the most powerful weapon in the game by far. Amazing in the front and still strong in the back, you cannot go wrong with ronins.
Primary, the masters of elemental attacks. New to EOII, they now can dealPhsyical elemental damage as well. Now whatever you enemy is weak against,the Alchemist will expose it.
===========================Alchemist - Second opinion===========================
Skill Highlights: Megido
Description: Don't send me hate mail, but I can't stand alchemists. They simply are not useful. Early on in the game, they require so much TP that it's almost impossible to use them and later, their attacks, even the
all-powerful megido, cannot stand up against strong attacks from other classes. My advice is to not use them.
------------------Scavenge==================Needed to Unlock: N/APassive Skill

LV.1--------1% Increase in Item Drop RateLV.2--------5% Increase in Item Drop RateLV.3--------13% Increase in Item Drop RateLV.4--------25% Increase in Item Drop RateLV.5--------41% Increase in Item Drop Rate
------------------Fire==================Needed fo Unlock: Fire Up LV.1Alchemy Skill
The Strong arm of the bunch. The Ronin is stronger, but the Landsknecht makes up for it with their nice defense. They can use two different typesof weapons, Axes and Swords. I use to perfer the swords mainly because the Chaser Skills were exclusive to swords only, but now they arent, youcan use Axes with the chaser skills as well. So I have to admit, the Axe Skills are looking alot more solid this time around. After seeing theirbreakdown I have to say they look like they out weigh the Swords, but thatsfor you to decide. It will be your Landsknecht. You may even want to level them each equally or perhaps just a little of one type and alot of the other.
Description: Landsknechts are great. They are well-rounded in all areas, and their two passives, 2-hit and counter, make their normal battles extra strong. Stunner is great for making an enemy lose a turn. Blazer/freezer/shocker are great for when you do elemental attacks, possibly hitting the enemy multiple times in one turn. They are much better in the front than the rear.

====================<> War MAgus <> WRMG====================
New to EOII, the Warmagus seems like a well rounded class. The only reasonI personally havent tried the class out yet is because it seems you willneed a Hexer in your party to unleash the War Magus' full potential. Even so, they seem like great healers that can attack decent as well.
===========================War Magus - Second Opinion===========================
Skill Highlights: Cure, Salve
Description: Sorry, but I don't have much use for a war magus. The only really good reason to use one is if you don't want to have a medic. They are situationally strong, mainly for use with a hexer or dark hunter. However, I personally don't like to rely on the luck of binds or status effects, so warmagus sits behind for me.

Description: Beasts are the kings of the passives. Loyalty is great for aiding in a tight spot. Autocure and Devour will help to keep the beast's health up. Tenacity and en garde help to keep the animal alive. Autoheal is great for status battles, and fetch lets you gather materials whenever you want. Good in both the front and back rows, beasts are a nice addition to Etrian Odyssey II.

\===============================================\ / IV. Character Builds / \===============================================\
This is the new section dedicated to Character Builds. This section will bemade by the readers to help readers get a look at the different possibilities for each class. Each Class will have its own Subsection in this Section once a build for that class has been Submitted. I would perfer the Build to be of a LV.70 Character, it doesnt matter if they are retired or not. If your character isnt LV.70 yet, just distribute the remaining Skill Points. If you want to write any information about your Characters build, feel free to do so. Include the Title, Characters Name, Level, Stats,Equipment, and SKills.
If you would like to submit a character Build but noticed there is already aCharacter Build type for that Character, Dont worry, Submit it anyway, it will be Posted. We need as many as possible, so others can see all the possibilities available to them in Etrian Odyssey II.
Even with an all-Ronin team, it is easy to diversify. This team can all avoid like crazy (Shiraha & Clarity), strike three times per turn (Midareba), and have a high TP to cover the attacks. Further, most specifics are covered, with all four physical attacks (slash, stab, pierce, bash) and all three elemental attacks (fire, ice, lightning) covered. They even can bind arms and OHKO if they get lucky. Also, as the back team gets attacked less, I have traded out the headpiece for the raise ring, mainly to get to 99 agility. Each has a whopping 355 attack power and can take out even the hardest enemies with ease (at least compared to other teams I've used). If you don't want to rely on the luck of binds & status effects, this is a team without equal.
Submit your Character Builds and help fill this Section!!!!
\===============================================\ / IV. Everything Else / \===============================================\
=====================================<> Different Party Formations <> DFPF=====================================
In this Subsection I will have various types of party formations.If you would like your party's formation listed, then please by all meanssend it in. I want this section to be made by the community. Just give your creative Party Formation with a small description. Ill do the first couple.
Please dont forget to include the Name of your party formation and the name as you would like it to appear as for credit.
------------Substitute - a Protector for a Beast, the Gunner for an Alchemist, or============ an Alchemist for a Gunner.
Nothing Special, I saw a formation similar to this for the first Etrian Odyssey about a year ago, thought it was cool. The original formation had 2Protectors and 3 Alchemist, I thought the Beast and Gunner classes would be good additions to this Party formation for this game.
-----------Front Row - Ronin, Dark Hunter, Survivalist===========
----------Back Row - Hexer, Troubadour==========
------------Substitute - a Landsknecht instead of the Ronin============
This is an awesome strategy if you get the right skills for your heroes. For Ronin I suggest Midareba (for bosses and FOEs), some Kienzan and Orochi for the occasional need of elemental attacks or in case of several enemies. Shiraha and Clarity is super for staying alive when everyone else dies, especially if you got some Nectall. The Dark Hunter should definitely have Bait, but more importantly you should invest fully in antibind and antisick,since most enemies that try to curse you or put you to sleep will continue every turn to do so until your whole team gets the status, which means the enemy will waste a lot of turns on casting the spell, which for instance gives your Hexer time to do his thing. The Survivalist is there mainly to give your team the occasional preemptive attacks (Ambush) and to prevent enemy ambushes (Sagacity), but there are plenty of advantages with a Survivalist.
The front row is nicely supported with the skills Frailty and Bravery (which means damage!). Dampen is a must, since with that Hexer skill you can get pass elemental immunities or physical resistances. Also, and this is a weird, but cool, combination: Troubadour casting Stamina so that the HP is raised, and your Hexer having 10 skill points in HP UP and casting some Revenge will do nice damage, that cannot be resisted. (!!)
-----------Front Row - Medic, Protector, Dark Hunter===========
----------Back Row - Beast, Gunner==========
------------Substitute - Beast for a Ronin============
This is my new Party and it is shaping up quite nicely. I have a Medic inthe front row. My Battle Medic is dealing the most damage believe it or not.She has tons of TP, she can easily deal great damage and heal the Party whenneeded. The Dark Hunter can be used in the Back Row, The Dark Hunters mainPurpose is to Bind, Poison, and instantly kill the enemy, all of which worksfine from the back row. The Protector is just your normal Protector withF.Guard, Smite, En Garde, Aegis. The Gunner is also steered towards Binding.Two Binds are better then one. The Gunner also has skills like Ricochet,Voltshot, Stunshot and perhaps another Elemental shot when she earns moreskill points. If you want to switch a character for a Ronin, go for it. TheRonin has Nukeuchi, Kubiuchi, Hysoyuki, Shiraha.
------------Substitute - Gunner for Survivalist (but have to have gather party then)============
I gave my Ronins each elemental attack maxed (and the shiraha/clarity). The Landschnekt got Brawn & each elemental follow-up attack (blazer, etc.). This allowed me to deal 4x damage to most bosses, making them much easier to go down. For the back row, my medic had lots of heals & salvage (first team so needed lots of en). The survivalist allowed me to gather without worrying about a second party, as well as both ambush halves (lower enemy's, raises my own). Might not seem like much but this team beat up BOTH Overlords back to back with only a quick heal (no amritas even!).
------------Substitute - Protector for Beast, Dark Hunter/Landschnekt for Ronin============
This team has good defense with the beast in there with two fast attackers (lost the ice attacks but added Kubuichi). The beast was there to automatically defend & heal himself (devour) as well as to fetch (again, don't like worrying about multiple parties). For the back, I had a full-out heal medic with cure 3, salve 3, patch up, healer, tp regen, CPR, and other skills all maxed out. Also, my gunner came with its own set of elemental attacks and the two passives (2-hit, weakshot). This has been my second most favorite team thus far.
------------Substitute - Lanschnekt/DH for Ronin, Gunner/Hexer for Troubadour============
This was actually a very good team. My Ronins beat up the right area of the 30th floor (10 back-to-back FOE battles all with one FOE entering as last died). I had simplified things a LOT at this point, giving the Ronins just Shiraha/Clarity, Orochi, Raizuki, and Kubuichi. All else went to passives like TP and TEC. Back row had same medic as all my others, high in healing & CPR. The troubadour was a new one for me, entered as I had gotten the Divide Bow and thought the Troubadour might be a quick & decent attacker. She was decent but not outstanding and the songs were great but cost lots of TP. Still, this team was so good it may end up as my final team if I cannot find anything better. Favorite team thus far.
------------Substitute - Protector for Beast, Dark Hunter for Beast============
As you can see, I like my Ronin team. Nothing quite like 3 fast and tough attackers. Actually, I am still leveling up my level 74 team atm so I cannot comment on how well this team will work, but I'm hopeful. Fast and deadly but with some automatic defense from the beast (and Preen). Please not that one can drastically change this by substituting a Dark Hunter for the Beast, using binds & climax to get the job done.
Front Row - Landschnekt, Dark Hunter, Landschnekt===========
----------Back Row - Medic, Hexer==========
------------Substitute - Gunner, Dark Hunter, Troubadour for Hexer============ Dark Hunters for Landschnekts
I have not tried this team. This is for those who like revenge :P. Give the Dark Hunter Bait, Magibait, & Climax, the Landschnekts Counter, and the Hexer Revenge & Corrupt (curse) and watch your enemies die with their own attacks! For more fun, add Suicide & Betrayal. This isn't my style, but I think some could have fun with it.
------------Substitute - Gunner, Dark Hunter, Troubadour for Hexer============ Dark Hunters for Landschnekts
By having two Protectors in the front row, they can take damage for the back row, and by also having a Landsknecht in the front row, you have a strong warrior with exceptional defense. The back row, having a War Magus and a Hexer, allows you to use the Magus' full potential, binding your enemy and frequently prohibiting your opponent's skills. Also, your War Magus can heal and use Shaman Skills on the front row, making your defending warriors last longer. A sufficiently leveled team such as this can easily charge through 2 or 3 floors.
This is my favorite team, with amazing strength. Main skills are Shiraha,Clarity, Midareba, and TP Up. With this team, you can get up to 15 hits per turn! Also, after MANY different teams (including Protecter, Protector/Alchemist, Medic, Alchemist), this is the first team that CAN DEFEAT UR-CHILD! And, I did this with just the Youtou blades (for the TP bonus). It litterally kills each of the bosses (Chimera through Harpuia) in just one turn, even at level 30! And, it can kill Colossus in just 3 turns, if not 2. Just have some nectars/nectalls around to revive members (don't worry about normal healing because of clarity).
----------Back Row - Dark Hunter, Survivalist==========
Description: Give Ronins Shiraha, Clarity, & Midareba. Dark Hunter... whatever you want. Survivalist gets 1st Turn MAXED. Then, load up on Axcelas (the force raisers) and go boss hunting. First hit a minor enemy to Force Up your Dark Hunter with axcelas (need to be in battle to use). Then, go for the difficult boss (including Ur-Child). Have your Survivalist 1st Turn your Dark Hunter while your Dark Hunter uses Dominate. Your Ronins then have a field day while the boss is completely bound. If it will be a long battle (Ur-Child), the next turn, use only one Ronin to attack and all the rest to axcela your Dark Hunter back to max force. Wait for any of the binds to break and repeat 1st Turn/Dominate. Rinse & repeat until the boss dies. In fact, the Ronins don't need shiraha & clarity, those are just for safety.
Please ask away. Send Questions to [email protected] I will also be on the lookout to answer questions in needof answering in gamefaqs and Igns message boards.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: This game is so Hard. I cant even get past the 3rd Floor.=========
-------Answer: Yes its true. This game can be challenging. That what makes it so ======= good. If you cant get past a certain part, try engaging a few battles, gain a couple levels, then try to get past the part you previously could not. With this game it could just be that you are underleveled by one or two levels.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Questions: Am I Overleveled? Am I Underleveled?========== What Level Should I be at for the # Floor?
-------Answer: The basis for Etrian Odyssey is that your level should======= be about 2.5x per floor. Below I did the math for you. Note that you dont necessarily have to be the exact level for that floor. They are just a guideline to what level you should at least be for that floor. Being over or under a few is fine. For the Bosses, I suggest looking into the "Boss/Hiddem Boss FAQ" Sections to see the levels that are recommended for those bosses.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: When creating the map, when you Zoom In, there are certain========= icons. Is there any way of knowing what they are?
-------Answer: You can find a map key in the manual. ======= Hey, assuming you don't have the manual I will list what the icons stand for below. I will start with the icons after the 5 on top, I hope with a manual or not its pretty apparent what those 5 are used for.
Listed from right to left, from the top row to bottom,
3 Colors - Bluegreen, Tanyellow, Skyblue - used to make floor tiles a different color.
E Event - used to mark areas where events take place.
! Important - used to mark important things.
+ Treasure - used to mark treasure chest.
Stairs Up - used to mark stairs going up.
Stairs Down - used to mark stairs going down.
Green Item Point - used to mark Chop, Mine, or Take locations.
Open Door - used to mark unlocked doors.
Closed Door - used to mark locked doors.
Blue Search Point - used to mark Chop, Mine, or Take locations.
O Pit - used to mark traps or pits.
>< Warp - used to mark warp points.
Purple Search Point - used to mark Chop, Mine, or Take locations.
Purple O FOEs - Used to mark FOEs, not bosses, Spawn Points on the map.
Arrow Up - used to mark shortcuts or directions pushing north.
Arrow Right - used to mark shortcuts or directions pushing east.
Monument - used to mark Pedistals or other landmarks.
Arrow Down - used to mark shortcuts or directions pushing south.
Arrow Left - used to mark shortcuts or directions pushing west.
Memo - used to add a note on a tile or an icon.
Arrow (Double) Up and Down - used to mark Shortcuts passable from both the North + South sides.
Arrow (Double) Right and Left - used to mark shortcuts passable from both the West and East sides.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Questions: Any advice on Dodging the FOEs?========== I want to Avoid the FOEs, any Help?
-------Answer: You will be meeting with FOEs for the rest of the game. ======= You may even find that some of them will be throwing some new tricks your way. If you just carry about 3 Sleep Bells and a Warp Wire at all times, you should be able to slip past all of them, If by any chance you happen to get cornered, sometimes if you engage them in battle it will face your character in a different direction, which means if you escape you will be on the other side of the FOE. IF this does not work while cornered, you could always use that Warp Wire. Sleep Bells have come in handy for me quite often, If a FOE was getting to close, id just use the sleep bell, slip past and then run.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: So What advice can you give for Gathering?=========
-------Answer: Something I highly suggest doing is making 3 Survivalist======= named Chopper, 3 Survivalist named Miner, and 3 Survivalist named taker. I suggest making that many because I also suggest going out for only one type of item per run. You dont necessarily have to give them those names. Doing this will allow you to gather items at the Various Item points while not having your immediate party waste their skill points on the search skills. When your Survivalist Level up a bit, you will only need to save 5 of them. The skills you will be using your skill points on with these Survivalist are just the Search Skills, which allow you to gather items from the search points, and the ESC Up skill. After mastering all 3 search skills and ESC Up, you can then start putting skill points into the other skills. Now, when going out for the items, it is possible to go out with just 5 survivalist. Take a couple Ward chimes, some Medicas, and a Warp Wire. Use the ward Chimes so you may get to the item point, encountering as few of enemies as possible. If you do happen to encounter an enemy, just run.
When you get to the search point get as many items as you can. There is a chance that your party will be ambushed by some search point enemies. Just Escape. After Gathering all items possible use the Warp Wire. Again, I suggest only going out to one type of item point per run.
In short, You can just make a Party of 5 survivalist. If you want, you can take a trained Protector along with 4 survivalist to be much safer. The main reason for gathering items with Survivalist, is so your original party does not have to waste their skill points on these search skills. Once you have 5 survivalist level up to at least level 13, you will be able to go out and collect a bunch of items during just one run.
Note: Beast can also be used, but survivalist can collect more items then the Beast.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: I could really use some extra Money, any tips?========= Any money Exploits in this game?
-------Answer: As a matter of fact there is a money exploit ive been======= using for quite sometime now. All you will need is a Dark
Hunter. You will also at least need to be into the second stratum.
The first Method will require your Dark Hunter to have a Whip and The Skill Viper. Simply rebattle Chimera. Inflict Poison on it and defeat it while it is poisoned. The Item it will drop can be sold for 30,000en.
The Second Method will require a Dark Hunter, a Whip, and The Skill Climax (the higher the easier). GO rebattle Hellion. Get its health down and use Climax when necessary. The item it will drop can be sold for 30,000en.
TO speed up the process for the bosses to respawn, you will need to get a Character that is only LV.1, then goto the Inn with just that character. Rest for 14 days. This will only cost 120en. GO get your battle party and go get paid.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: So what is the "Standard" Party supposed to be?=========
-------Answer: Truth be told. There is no "Standard" to your Party.======= Nor should you base your party choice by the standards of others. It is the Players game and it is the Players choice when it comes to building their Party. Make the Party the Way you want it. Make it so it is fits to your liking and playing style. Creating your Party is just one of the many Layers of customization which makes this game so wonderful.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Do the enemies level adjust to your partys?=========
-------Answer: No, Unfortunately whatever type of enemy you encounter will ======= remain the same level each time you encounter that type of enemy, It will also have the same stats and the same amount of HP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Questions: MY Protector and my Ronin can not use their SKills. Whats Wrong========= with them? Is my Game Glitched?
-------Answer: Rest assured your game is fine. The reason why you cannot======= use your Protectors Skills is because you need a Shield equipped to use Shield Skills. The Reason why you cannot use your Ronin's skills is because you need a Katana equipped to use most of them. Dont worry the same thing happened to me with my Protector. I felt stupid.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Questions: How can I retrigger an Event?========= Do Events disappear if you avoid them the first time? Explain events.
-------Answer: First, you cannot retrigger an event. Once they occur thats======= it. They do in fact disappear after encountering them. These events take place when you reach a certain spot, they will either trigger automatically or an option to check with A will come up. Confirming to check will trigger the event. After the event has been triggered you are usually given an option in which you have to choose one or the other. No matter which you choose, once the event has finshed it is finshed for good.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Whats the Point of using a Warp Stone? Couldnt I just use a Warp========= Wire and save 100en?
-------Answer: Well sure, you can save 100en by using Warp Wires instead of ======= Magnets. But you should only do that when you want to return to town. Times when you want to save your game without returning to town are good times to use a Warp Stone. This will allow you to safely return to a geomagnetic field and save your game. The great thing about using the Magnet at a time like that is that you will be able to save without your Force Bar reseting. That is the only reason I see fit for using a Magnet instead of a Warp wire. If you know of some other decent reason these Warp Stones exsist, then please let me know. Thanks
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: About the Gunner class. What is their TEC used for?
=========
-------Answer: Dispite what you have heard. TEC does have a significant role for ======= the Gunner class. Not only does it increase the power of the Gunner's elemental shots, but it also increases accuracy. See the Gunner Skill Subsection for more details.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Questions: Whats up with the FOES? They dont give any EXP. ========== Should I just avoid every single FOE? What are the Benefits to defeating the FOEs?
-------Answer: Yes, it is ture. FOEs do not give any EXP this time around. I am not======= sure why the developers made the FOEs this way. MAybe they did it to give the player a greater sense of fear for the FOEs. Maybe they did it so the player wouldnt get too overleveled. For whatever reason they did do it, its done, so lets just make the best of it.
You should not avoid every single FOE. I suggest saving before you engage any FOE you are not familar with. You may want to avoid a FOE the first time you come across one of its kind. Most of the FOEs cannot be defeated on your first passing through the floor they reside on. You should wait until you level up a bit, then return to challenge them.
There are a couple of benefits to fighting and/or defeating the FOEs. For one, Fighting them are good ways to raise your force bar without earning unnessacry EXP. This is good for people like me who like their game to stay challenging. Its one of the ways to not get overleveled before a challenging boss. The other benefit is that you will be able to get items after defeating a FOE. Some items that you wont be able to find anywhere else. Some items that unlock powerful weapons. If you ever want the best weapons/armor. Defeat a FOE early. The items it drop will unlock something you can buy that will be more then helpful.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Where Can I find the Tree Key?=========
-------Answer: The tree Key can be bought from a Guard on the 17th Floor. ======= You can find this guard in Section C1 on the bottom row, 2nd square from the left. THis guard is selling it for 10,000en
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: What is the easiest way to get through the 23rd Floor undetected.========= Is there a way to not deal with the FOEs before Colossus.
-------Answer: Here is what you can do. You will not have to fight any FOES on ======= the left right or top corridors. You wil only have to fight one or two Guardians.
You will need one sleep bell for the guardians. More if you want to use them on the other FOES, although I did not need them. You will want to avoid as many FOEs as possible. you will need your strength for Colossus.
This path is based on Post Colossus fight. Im not sure if there are less FOES in the room after defeating Colossus. Anyway this path below is very similar to the one I took Before defeating Colossus. If anything gets too close just continue on. Use a sleep bell if you have to.
Take the Geomagnetic Pole to the 23rd Floor. Walk 1 step forward. Turn right and walk 1 step forward. Open the Door. Walk 4 steps forward. Turn Right. Walk 1 step forward then 1 step back. Walk 5 steps forward. Sidestep right. Walk 2 steps forward. Sidestep left. Walk 1 step forward. Turn left. Walk 1 step forward. Sidestep right. Sidestep left. Walk 3 steps forward. Turn left. Walk 4 steps forward. Turn right and walk 2 steps forward. Turn right and step forward. Turn left and walk 10 steps forward. Turn right and walk 3 steps forward. Turn left and walk 2 steps
forward. Turn left again and walk 3 steps forward. Open the door.
Now that takes care of that part. Now walk into the room with the little robot guardians. Walk straight ahead and engage battle with the one thats in the middle. Defeat it as quickly as possible. The quicker the better. If another one joins battle defeat it. You need to be quick about defeating them or more will just keep on joining. When you engage with the first one just use good skills to take it out so you can avoid fighting more then just the one. After you leave battle Walk forward and use a sleep bell so it hits the guardian that are above. Then walk forward and go through the door with Colossus. Check out "Boss FAQ" Subsection below for a detailed look at the battle. You will want to bring Amritas, Medicas, and Nectars. You will also want to bring some nectall if you dont have a medic with Pheonix.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: How can I access the sixth Stratum?=========
-------Answer: There are 2 Quest You must complete before you will be able to ======= explore the sixth stratum. Those Quest are called "Rendering Assistance" and "Blood for the Grail"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Where did the Ruin Sword go? It fell from the 27th Floor.=========
-------Answer: You can find it a few steps into the 1st floor. Walk in slowly and ======= wait for the option "Check" to appear. Its just a few steps in.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Question: Where is the best place to earn EXP and Money during the Post Game?=========
-------Answer: The best thing to do in order to earn EXP is to simply rebattle ======= the Storyline Bosses. This is the fastest way to earn the most EXP. Defeating any Boss by the means stated in the "Special Condition Item Drops" Subsection, is the best way to earn money.
The easiest way to get the bosses to respawn is to goto the Explorer's Guild and make a New LV.1 Character and keep them at Level one. Resting this LV.1 character alone at the Inn will only cost 5en. So resting night after night in order to pass the days wont seem so expensive. The bosses will respawn 14 days after they were defeated. You can use the date in the Menu to keep track of the days as they pass.
===================<> Boss FAQ <> BSFQ===================
Here it is. The Boss FAQ. I hope you enjoy it. The Hidden Bosses have their own subsection which follows this one. Both are works in Progress.
When Describing the Skills===========================
Low DMG = Low Damage, Something your Character will take with no problem.Med DMG = Medium Damage, Will leave your chracter with about Half HP.Heavy DMG = Heavy Damage, Will KO or leave your character with low HP.EXHeavy DMG = Extreme Heavy Damage, No chance of surviving these blows.
Notes: ATK = STR DEF = VIT
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Chimera (First Stratum)=============================================================================HP = 1400 / ATK = 22 / DEF = 22 / AGI = 18 / LUC = 20 / TEC = 22 Weakness = IceExperience = 21000Item Drop = Brute TailItem Drop = Brute Wing (Defeat while it is Poisoned)Encountered on = 5FRecommended Level = Easier: LV.18+ / Med: LV.16-17 / Harder: LV.15 or Lower
Skills=======Pile = Targets up to Three / May Inflict Poison / Disable by Binding Legs2-Hit = Targets One / Hits Twice / Disable by Binding ArmsBlaze = Targets Two / Disable by Binding Head
Effective Skills to use========================Any Ice Elemental AttackAny Skill That Binds (Perferably Legs)
Strategy: First thing you should do before engaging the Chimera in battle is use a Lure Bell. This will Attract all the FOEs that will support it in battle. Trust me, it helps. They are easy alone, but they can prove to be a nuisance with Chimera. After you defeat all of them, engage Chimera. Chimera is the first real boss. Chimera is no walk in the park either. Just note that the higher your level, the easier it will be to defeat. You will want items or Skills to remove Status effects. Chimera will do moderate damage in the begining, nothing a few healing items or cures cant handle. When the boss begins to use Pile, that is when it can get over on you if you are not careful.
Pile, from what ive seen, can target up to three characters. The attack may also inflict poison. If any of your characters get posioned, remove it immediately, the poison damage will be high. Have your strongarms hammer it, your main concern is defeating Chimera as quickly as possible. Three of your chracters should be dealing damage, while the other two heal.
Notes: The Boss will use Pile when its HP is Below 50%======
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Hellion (Second Stratum)=============================================================================HP = 2100 / ATK = 40 / DEF = 40 / AGI = 42 / LUC = 32 / TEC = 42Weakness = IceExperience = 54000Item Drop = Red WingsItem Drop = Sharp Claw (Must die by means of Instant Death)Encountered on = 10FRecommended Level = Easier: LV.28-29 / Med: LV.26-27 / Harder: LV.24-25
Skills=======Roar = Targets All/ May Inflict confusion/ Disable by Binding its HeadInferno = Targets One/ Fire Attribute/ Disable by Binding ArmsEmbrace = Targets Two/ Inflicts Terror/ Disable by Binding ArmsKing Fire = Targets All/ Fire Attribute/ Disable Bind Arms
Effective Skills to use========================Any Ice Elemental Attack Climax, when appropriate Attacks that Bind Arms
Strategy========= Hellion gets it's advantage by inflicting confusion and terror. Then it willdefeat you fast by getting your characters to hurt each other and by attacking. Its Embrace Skill will inflict terror. A good strategy is to protect against these status effects. You could probably ignore the Terroreffect. unless it is inflicted on more then 2 of your characters. Theconfusion status is the one you want to eliminate immediately. When theyare confused you wont be able to choose their attack/target, instead theywill just attack and they may target themselves or your chracters.
Most of Hellion's moves can be disabled by Binding it's Arms. With it's arms bound, it will only do standard attacks, plus the occassional Roar. This boss isnt immune to instant death. So if you have a Dark hunter withClimax, go ahead and use it. Killing this boss by means of instant death will earn you the Sharp Claw. which you can sell for 30,000en
Notes: The Boss will use King Fire when its HP is Below 45%======
Effective Skills use=====================Skills that Bind Arms
Strategy: I suggest going after Artelind First. Sure she has more HP then========= Wilhelm, but she can also heal herself and Wilhelm. After you drop her, Wilhelm will do likewise shortly after. They are a Force together, but once you defeat one of them, the other isnt that bad. So dont go about this battle switching up the damage from target to target. Just focus all your attacks on Aretelind. Then Wilhelm after Aretelind dies. You will want a healer and also some means of removing status effects.
Notes: Defeat her Before Wilhelm Experience is total for defeating both Artelind and Wilhelm
Skills=======Fireshot = Targets One/ Fire Attribute/ Disable by Binding ArmsVoltshot = Targets One/ Volt Attribute/ Disable by Binding ArmsIceshot = Targets One/ Ice Attribute/ Disable by Binding ArmsShooting Spree = Targets All/ Disable by Binding Arms Unknown = Targets All/ randomly causes Poison, Blind, Paralyze, or Sleep
Effective Skills to use========================Skills that Bind Arms
Strategy: Use Strategy in Artelind's Section.=========
Notes: Bind his Arms, All he will be able to do is attack. Experience is total for defeating both Artelind and Wilhelm
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Scylla (Third Stratum)=============================================================================HP = 3100 / ATK = 55 / DEF = 60 / AGI = 50 / LUC = 45 / TEC = 55Weakness = VoltExperience = 100000Item Drop = Snow Vine Item Drop = Snow Bone (Defeat within 3 turns)Encountered on = 15F
Skills=======Cry Soul = 3-7 Hits/ Multiple Targets/ Heavy DMG/ Disable by Binding its Head Six Sins = May Inflict Confusion, Sleep, or Blindness/ Disable by Binding LegsTentacle = Targets All/ May Bind Legs/ Disable by Binding its HeadLullaby = Targets All/ May Inflict Sleep/ Disable by Binding its HeadEmbrace = Targets All/ Heavy DMG / Uses when it's HP < 50%/ Disable Bind Arms
Effective Skills to use========================Any Skill that will Bind the HeadAny Volt Elemental Skills
Strategy: This is a tough boss with very good defense. Whenever Scylla begins using Cry Soul, you need to watch out, because Cry Soul will definitely rape you. Sometimes it uses it sooner then later. The boss may use Cry soul more often when its HP is below 2/3. This is why you should try and have its Head Bound, if it cant use that attack it will more then likely use Six Sins. Just Heal Accordingly. After its head is bound defeat it as quickly as possible. Cry Soul is the Attack that will stop you from winning the battle. If you cant even get the boss down to 50% HP, then you need to level up a bit.
Notes: This Boss is Immune to Instant Death ====== Embrace has a low Hit Rate
=============================================================================HP = 4000 ATK = 62 DEF = 40 / AGI = 99 / LUC = 48 / TEC = 60Weakness = PierceExperience = 150000Item Drop = Harpy Wing Item Drop = Cut Quill (Defeat While it's Poisoned)Encountered on = 20FRecommended Level: Easier: LV.48-50 / Med: LV.47 / Harder: LV.45-46
Skills=======Claw = Targets One/ Heavy DMG/ May Inflict Terror/ Disable by Binding ArmsFeather = Targets All/ Medium DMG/ Disable by Binding ArmsShriek = Targets All/ May Inflict Confusion/ Unable to DisableBanquet = 2-5 Hits/ Multiple Targets/ Chance of Binding the Head and Legs
Effective Skills to use========================Any Skill with the Physical Element PierceAny Skill to Bind the Arms
Strategy: This boss is definitely no push over. Feather is one hell of an========= attack. It doesnt do crazy damage, but if you arent fully healed it may just kill you. Claw does slightly more damamge and has a chance of inflicting terror. I suggest trying to Bind it's arms, this way it cant use feather. Something else that can be a huge pain is Shriek. When your front line damage dealers get confused it becomes stressful. Be sure to heal those effects immediately. Thou leaving the non damage dealing characters confused isnt a bad thing either.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Colossus (Fifth Stratum)=============================================================================HP = 4500 / ATK = 77 / DEF = 80 / AGI = 70 / LUC = 56 / TEC = 70Weakness = None, though, Magic attacks deal more damage than Physical attacksExperience = 200000Item Drop = Guard HornItem Drop = Item Drop = Red Spine (Dont Kill With a Physical attack)Encountered on = 23FRecommended Level: Easier: LV.58-59 / Med: LV.55-57 / Harder: LV.55 or lower
Skills=======Destroy = Targets All/Medium DMG/ Lowers Partys Defense/ Disable by Leg BindsHorns = Targets one/ Heavy DMG/ Disable by Binding its HeadBrandish = Multiple Targets/ 1-3 Hits/Barrier = Magic attribute attacks will hit, then be countered with EXHeavy DMGBreath = Targets All/ Inflicts Blind or Poison/Disable by Binding Head
Effective Skills to use========================Physical Attacks are saferMagic Attacks are more effectiveBinding of Head or Legs
Strategy: This can be a tough battle if your unprepared. Regardless of your========= Party, you will need some Nectar, Medica III, and Amrita. Now, depending on how well developed your party is, this may be the longest battle thus far. The Monster Codex claims that the Colossus has no weakness. While that may be somewhat true. Magic attribute attacks will deal more damage then Physical Based attacks. This battle gets serious, one mistake could cost you everything. That is why I suggest getting the Red Spine at a later time after you defeat this boss. While in order to get the Red Spine all you will need to do is use a Magic Based attack for the finishing blow. There is always a chance the Colossus may Start the turn by using Barrier. So until you are guaranteed a victory, its just too risky.
If you dont have a medic with Phoenix I also recommend some Nectalls. The main focus here is keeping all your characters on the up and up. After the Colossus uses Destroy, be sure to heal immediately, there will be a chance that it will use it again on the following turn. This will more then likely cause a Game over. There is no Particular attack that will own you completely. Its when these attacks are used in sequence, whether it be the same attack or not, that will get you. Barrier is really the only way you will get a chance to recuperate. Thats why its important to not use magic attacks. You will feel less annihilated when the boss uses Horns, you will more then likely just need to revive the character that horns targeted.
Notes: will begin using Barrier below 80% Health====== will begin using Breath below 35% Health Barrier Cannot be Disabled
Encountered on = 25FRecommended Level: Easier: LV.60+ / Med: LV.58-59 / Harder: LV.57 or lower
Skills=======REPAIR = Heals Overlord for 400-500HP/MACV = Counters Physical Attacks/ Heavy DMG/ Disable by Binding Arms
AACV = Counters Magic Attacks/ Heavy DMG/ Disable by Binding ArmsVOID1 = Disable by Binding ArmsVOID2 = Targets All/ Disable by Binding ArmsLRDA = Targets All/ May Inflict Terror/ Disable by Binding ArmsLRCA = Targets All/ May Inflict Curse/ Disable by Binding Arms
Effective Skills to use========================Any Skill to Bind the Arms
Strategy: First let me start by saying, Bring alot of Healing items. ========= If youve been saving anything special at the inn, now would be the time to bring some of them, not all of them, just some. I suggest bringing: 12+ Nectar, 3 Nectar II, 8 Medica II 7 Medica III, 12 Amrita, 3 Therica BX Alot of Therica B if no BX, otherwise just 5. Any Hamao, Somas, or whatever else you want. If you can afford to just bring Nectar IIs, Medica IIIs, and Amrita IIs instead of their weaker version, then by all mean do so.
Bind the Arms. I would use my Protector's Skill Smite to Bind The Overlords Arms. Once The Overlords Arms are Binded it really can not act. You will own the battle taking just about no damage.
I am not really sure if the lettered attacks "MACV, AACV, LRDA, LRCA, etc" are Just letters that stand for a cetain attack or status and these letters are just thrown together to form an attack or if those names are just actual attacks. When attacking, if all your characters are doing Physical attacks, be sure to have at least one do a Magic attack so if the Overlord uses AACv or MACV at least one of your chracters wont be effected, or vise versa. Anyway, This boss isnt hard at all. If you just Heal when needed and keep switching up your attacks, youll be just fine.
After the battle Select "NO" and then Heal HP/TP accordingly. Then walk forth and prepare yourself for the REAL Battle.

=========================<> Hidden Boss FAQ <> HBFQ=========================
This Subection is a work in Progress!
Notes: For the Stats, ATK = STR and DEF = VIT
When Describing the Bosses Skills Low DMG = Low Damage, Something your Character can take no problem. Med DMG = Medium Damage, Will leave your chracter with about Half HP. Heavy DMG = Heavy Damage, Will KO or leave your character with low HP. EXHeavy DMG = Exteme Heavy Damage, No chance of surviving these blows.
Effective Skills to use========================Any Skill to Bind ArmsInstant Death Skills (Dark Hunter's Climax)
Strategy: For some reason each time I was fighting Golem it always seemed to ========= target my back row whenever it wasnt using Hammers. Use this to your advantage. Keep that back row up. My Party consisted of a Ronin, Dark Hunter, Protector in the front row and a Medic, Gunner in the back. I had my Ronin use Elemental Slashes, My Dark Hunter used Viper plus nectars when My Medic was down, My Protector used F. Guard, my Medic used CPR plus Revive, and my Gunner used Elemental Shots. With my party using those skills I was able to get the Golem down to about half HP quickly, it was then when I had my Dark Hunter use Climax. Instant Death. Doing this will also earn you the Statue Arm.
The battle doesnt go that easy thou. Getting the Golem down to Half Hp could be a tough task. Especially since it uses Skills to increase it's Physical and Elemental Defense. You may want to bring a few Metopon or Laudanum with you to remove those benefits.
Another thing, Elemental Attacks are alot more effective then Physical attacks. Just dont have all your characters attacking with elemental attacks. If the Golem happens to use Reflect you will be finshed. I was attacking with 2 characters using elemental attacks. When the Golem used Reflect I was able to revive the characters that were countered on the following turn.
Notes: Golem will ONLY use Reflect on turns 6, 11, 16, 21, etc -Just4Yoshi======
Effective Skills to use========================Ice attacksHead Bindings
Skills=======Breath = Targets All/ Med DMG/ 60% Chance of Binding LegsTail = Random Multiple Targets/ 3-5 Hits/ Heavy DMGBlood Cry = Targets All/ Instantly Kills/ Curse is Inflicted If survived
Strategy: Wow, Salamox. More then likely, you couldnt fight this crazy========= Frog/Dragon/Lizard thing when you first reached the 8th Floor. You are going to be in for a treat. I faced it with a mediocre team of M,DH,P in front, and G,B in back. My characters were Level 61-64. The Boss wasnt devastatingly hard, but it wasnt no cake walk either. From my few battles I had with it, it appears that Salamox only has 3 Skills. It may only have 3 Skills, but each Skill is deadly and Salamox will kill your level 70 party in a quick Blink.
Ok, Blood Cry, this move is cheap, not only is it cheap, if it doesnt instantly kill you, instead it will inflict curse on you. So you are doped either way. It will target the entire Party and it will more then likely Instantly kill 3 or more characters. While, Salamox wont use Blood Cry as often as it's other skills. Binding it's Head may be the first choice when dicided what to Bind. Binding it's head will disable Blood Cry.
Tail is Salamox's Heavy Damage attack. Salamox will hit your Party 3-5 times. These hits will be distributed randomly to your party members, if anyone gets a double hit, they are done for, well, your Protector or Beast may be able to take 2 or more hits. Finally Breath. Breath will Target every member of your party. It deals a Medium amount of damage and it has roughly a 60% chance of Binding your characters Legs. This is the Skill you have to worry about the least.
Now you know Salamox's skills inside and out. You will have the upper hand now in battle. Just seriously, watch out for Blood Cry, it can turn a perfect battle into a nightmare.
Notes: Blood Cry can be disabled by Binding Salamox's Head. Confirmed.====== Leg Binds disable Tail. Disable Breath by Binding Arms, (not Confirmed)
Effective Skills to use========================Leg Binding Skills
Skills=======Talon = Targets one/ EX Heavy DMGTailwhip = Multiple Random Targets/ Med-Heavy DMG/ May Inflict Poison/Tornado = Targets All/ Chance of Binding Arms, Legs, or Head/Sky Ray = Targets All/ Heavy DMG/ Uses when HP is Below 30%
Strategy: This Boss can be very fustrating. Just when you think you have========= it in the bag, you die. This is due to Wyvern's Very cheap Skill Sky Ray. Its not that the move is cheap, its that Wyvern decides that it is going to use it over and over again. Ive seen Wyvern use Sky Ray 4 times in a row. I didnt live to see if it was going to use it a 5th time. Wyvern doesnt begin using Sky Ray until it's HP is Below 30%.
Notes: Tail Whip can be Disabled by Binding Wyvern's Legs.====== Tornado can be Disabled by Binding Wyvern's Arms. Sky Ray can be Disabled by Binding Wyvern's Head.

Strategy: This battle is sick! You know, at first, Drake may come off as ========= the easiest of the 3 elemental Dragons. If you have battled Drake, then you know the battle can change very quickly.
You may be able to get good damage in on Drake, and right when you get the confidence that you are gonna win, ol Drakey here will use Ice Block. Ice Block makes Drake fully resistant to Volt and Physical attacks. You will be lucky if you can deal more then 4 damage to the dragon. If Drake does use Ice Block, you should use any Fire attacks your party may have.
Notes: Ice Block last for 5 Turns. ====== Disable Ice Block with Leg Binds.
