Tales of Symphonia

[Kairi]

You posted them? XD Oops. Any idea why I can't get the casino one though?
And..I'm just building up GRADE for the shop, and trying to get Lloyd's title for fighting 256 on Mania. I'm pondering whether it's worth 600 GRADE to take the two EX Gem MAXes with me. o_o;

 

[Toothache]

Good news kiddies, UK release date for ToS has been confirmed - November 19th. I won't moan as much now (even though I still want to play the game!)

 

[Skrin]

Well, got all of da devils arms weapons, and I ask only one more question involveing them:


HOW THE HECK DO YOU BEAT ABYSSION WITH A PARTY AROUND LEVEL 60!?;_;


And If I need to level up, where is a good place to level up??XD

 

[Kenny_C.002]

Okay. The casino guy only appears when you've gotten allthe other ones up to that point. So basically unless you have the one in the forest near Mizuho and the one in the Earth Temple, you can't get the casino one.

Abyssion fight: easy battle with infinite combos. He should have fallen approximately 10-20 times (resulting in short invincible moments) and about 6 or 7 overlimits. Still, when you go infinite, that's how THEY break infinity. Aside from that, it's usually just fighting with Raine cranking out revitalizes. A divide-all also helps if you want, but the match is twice as long.

Recommended Leveling Place: Ymir Forest (just before hemidell). If you're more...daring. You should head to the part of Torrent Forest where there's a small pond near where you enter. There's the gold dragon you can fight and the flowers with tentacles have monsters that either drop RED SAVORY (+10% TP), RED SAGE (+10% HP), or you can steal RUNE BOTTLES (transforms some items. also ingredient for Dirk's customizations) from them (all 3 are EXTREMELY rare items). So they RARELY drop them (tho the stealing tends to work wellfor some reason). Although Rune bottles became crappy after Tales of Destiny, it's still good. :P

Drops:
Red Savory: the humanoid flower guys (annoying voices...)
Red Sage: that giant plant (you fight only one. You'll know)
Rune Bottle: from this shell guy. He picks you up to deal damage to you.

Ymir Forest and The Gorge (teller's home) has the rest of the red ____'s, so feel free to go there if you want to increase some of the other stats.

 

[Skrin]

Thanks. And I know which plant you're talking about, cause I got a red sage from it.XD


Anyways, right now I'm at that part where lyod keeps loseing party members in cheesy "deaths", even though they get saved later. anyways, after I obtain the derris emblem, I'm gonna do all those other neat sidequests that involve it, includeing Maxwell.

And Eh? I got the gates of **** last. So, I've prooved you wrong.XD


And also... *Sobs* I wish I knew that lyods strongest weapon, besides the neblim, came from Sword Dancer 3!! ;_;

 

[Kairi]

Err, thanks Kenny, I should have tried that. @_@; *goes off to get the Presea title*

 

[Skrin]

ACK!!


Finally, after getting all my party members to around 65 and re-obtaining kratos, I have to say...HOW CAN I GET COLETTE BACK WITHOUT HAVEING TO BEAT MITHOS!?

Also, what's this"Underworld"dungeon?? How can I get to it?? @_@

 

[Kairi]

The underworld is a special book in Sybak, check out the book with the jewel on it in the library, then head to Heimdall. Talk with the elf near the entrance to the forest to learn its importance, then go back. You'll be allowed in, but it's a tricky dungeon.
And I'm fight Abyssion on Mania. XD 240,000 HP, it's insane, I haven't even taken half of it off yet.

 

[Skrin]

FBSKAKANANA!!@_@

That's all I can say.XD

Anyways, as I asked before, are you able to-*Pauses* Wait a second.


Now i remember!!

You get the deries kharlan emblem shortly after you get colette back in welgaia!!

Fhew, that was good.XD

Anyways, if you could transfer over the weapons, I betcha he'd wouldn't be so hard in mania mode, because of the... *Evil laugh*.XD

But, I still have one more question to ask:

Do you need to defeat those bosses in those illusions?? You know, "The Judger" and his other 2 pals??

 

[Kairi]

I…think so. @_@; I did anyways.
And I did it, minus FIFTEEN GRADE and I used every healing item I had. >D
I didn't use any infinite combos, but I did break down and use my first All-divide once Revitalize Raine died.

 

[Skrin]

Uh-oh. I just remembered, he uses the weapons in battle. So, actually, he'd be even harder to beat.XD

But anyways, who's your favorite boss?? Mines a tie between gnome and abyssion, because they have such cool, or in gnomes case, funny, phrases

Abyssion: Suffer!! *Oooo, dramaticy.XD*

Gnome: Time to Eat dirt! *ROFLMAO!XD*

EDIT:ARGH!! I still can't beat abyssion, because I don't know what infinite combos are!! Help!! ;_;

 

[Kairi]

I didn't need them, but the only one I know of is the one Kenny mentioned above for Colette (Setting angel Feathers to your tech button, pressing A, A, Tech, Guard) Then repeating. But really the key is to have Raine on the backlines, ALWAYS casting Revitalize. You can go from full HP to nearly dead in one attack (at least on Mania)
I had her equipped with the Persian Boots and Charm that lowers spell casting time, and her EX Skills gave her concentrate. Set her to Don't Pursue and Heal, though you should be mashing your Revitalize shortcut any time she's not already casting it. Don't be afraid to jump back and distribute items—that can be your most important role.
Finally you can try an All-Divide—makes the battle easier and longer.

 

[Skrin]

There's one last thing you forgot that would help-the 30-items bag.XD

Anyways, I got abyssion to under 30,000 HP before he KOed my last character after I used all of my items.


And is it just me, or does abyssion, after he changes into neblim, look like a Super Saiyen rip-off??XD

 

[Kenny_C.002]

Yeah. He's a rip off. lol

But yeah, apparently the current l33t guys can beat abyssion at level 70 without using an all-divide. X_X

Fav boss? probably Clumsy Assassin, cuz it's so funny. :P

And yeah, you need to beat the judged, the neglected, and the betrayed in order to obtain the dedis emblem (yes, I have dedis there on purpose. lol).

 

[Kairi]

I was level 80, and I ALMOST did it without an All-Divide. *Sniffs*
=P

 

[Skrin]

Aw man. ;_; I almost got him this time!! 15,000 HP to go....so close, and yet so far.... ;_;

But, once i reach level 70, abyssion will die, and I'll crush mithos with da devils arms....XD

 

[Kairi]

Ew, I don't plan to use them as weapons, I just wanted cutie's title. =x Which brings me to a question for Kenny—if I equip my good titles THIS game, beat the game, in my new game will characters I get later on have the stat benefits from those titles, as if they had leveld up in my party with them equipped?

 

[Skrin]

WOOT!!

I finally beat abyssion...after useing an All-divide.XD

But anyways, is there any way to obtain that cool outfit kratos had from after he betrayed you to when he re-joins you???@_@

But anyways, Me saveing my grade for the very end. Mwahahahaha....XD

And also, the devils arms ROCK!!

The neblim can do about 700 damage with each swing!! O_O

 

[Kairi]

You should get it right after leaving Dirk's once you forge the ring of the pact—I did anyways. Maybe it had to do with going to all the training sessions, dunno. I also got the title ---after that. (The spoiler one)

 

[Kenny_C.002]

Yeah, the get the stat gains as though they are in your party. This means a great deal since you can easily get 5-10 extra stats just from a couple of levels (or you can be stupid like me and pick a neutral one and pay with 10X exp, making them suck badly. lol).
