4.Hints n Tips
Skill Stacking
When assigning skill to immortals, Ones that have multiple levels may be stacked up for increased effect but not all.
Having reduced casting time 1+2 will make no difference compared to just having 2.
Where as (as far as I know from now) all others will stack on top of each other
(I.e. attack boost 1+2 is better than just 2)
Good places to level Up (and gain Sp) A Few good places to level up,
Numara Atoll, Battles increase level fast until around level 47 (disc 2+4)
Gongora’s Mansion (secret lab), Battles will increase level fast up until around level 50 (disc 4)
Temple of enlightenment, Battles increase levels fast until around level 70 (but hellish Kelolons Will raise every battle until around level 90) (Disc 4)
Best Place For SP
Numara Atoll beat silver kelolons for 8sp each
You can also come across 2 in one battle for 16sp
When you have Sed his double Sp skill can increase that to a whopping 32sp per battle
(Best way to defeat these guys is using Gamble)
Fully Restore Health and MP at a save Point.
Takes a little bit of time but hay saves items and mp.
At any save point save, then load that save, you will have full HP/MP.
Useful before boss battles
5.Achievements
Dreams.
Every single dream can be re-read, simply by going to sleep or from the title screen.
The dreams may not be collected in order, and you may be missing some, Do not worry every dream can be found on disc 4 if you missed any. (For the big Dreamer Achievement)
Skill master Achievements
All mortals learn all their skills by level 52 (with exception of Tolten who learns them at 49)
Immortals must learn every skill, from each mortal and every single accessory
Spells
All spells can be picked up or bought along the way, if you miss some do not worry some spells come up more than once and some may be picked up by going back to its original location later in the game.
This is of course with the exception of Shieldus and barracadus, which must be bought on disc 2 on boat before experimental staff, or you will never ever get them again.
