Your resource to some of the most commonly asked game questions.
|
|
How can I find the Green Dragon?
|
|
The process to get to the Green Dragon can be a long and painful one, depending on which path you have chosen and how thorough you have been proceeding through the game. To get the necessary events to transpire, you need to have defeated the wingapede at the Hydra Marshes in Home World and fallen through the crack it made in the ground. Once you've done that, follow these steps:
· Walk to the left from the entrance of Hydra Marshes in Home World. While climbing up the branches, you'll run into the Beeba that gave you the Beeba Flute earlier. His memory is rather short, and since he won't remember having given you the flute, he will fight you again. Once you defeat him, he will give you an item called Ancient Fruit.
· Walk up and right to the next screen. Walk right to the end of the branch where another Beeba is standing, and use the Beeba Flute. A wingapede will arrive and carry your party to Gaea's Navel.
· Once you arrive at Gaea's Navel, you will meet up with a little cavegirl named Leah, who will join your party. Go through all the screens in Gaea's Navel and kill every enemy you find. If you proceed in one direction, you will eventually circle around to where you started. One of your characters will mention that all the monsters are gone. You will hear a roar and the Tyrano boss will come out. Defeat him, and you will encounter the Green Dragon. Once you defeat him, go back to where the wngapede dropped you off and use the Beeba Flute. The wingapede will take you back to Hydra Marshes.

How do I get the Rainbow Weapons?
|
|
To be able to forge the Rainbow Weapons, you need to complete the quest to save Marbule in Home World. To complete the Marbule quest, you must have talked to Nikki after defeating the Sage of Marbule on board the S.S. Zelbess and agreed to help him convince Fargo to go to Marbule. During the quest for the Dragon Relics, go back to the Zelbess with Fargo from Another World in your party and talk to the Fargo on the Zelbess. You will automatically be taken to Marbule to witness Nikki's concert. Kill all the monsters in Marbule and the quest will be completed.
Later in the game, once you use the Dragon Tear to get Serge back, go back to Marbule and you will see the Demi-Humans from the Zelbess working to rebuild Marbule. Go into the cave on the upper right and you will find Toma, the "Great Explorer" in there with 2 of his friends. Talk to the guy on the upper right and he will offer to sell you something called a Master Hammer for 10,000 G. Buy it, and go to Another World.
Once you arrive, go to Termina. You should already have some Rainbow Shells at this point. Have Zappa from Home World in your party and talk to Zappa in the blacksmith shop in Termina, and they will work together to forge something from the Shell. Once they're done, you can use the Smith Spirit item to make Rainbow weapons.

How do I climb up Death Peak in 2300 A.D.?
|
|
You won't be able to access Death Peak without being blown off unless you are on the sidequest to rescue Crono. Once you've gotten to the point in the quest where you have to climb, go to the Keeper's Dome in 2300 A.D. and talk to the Nu. He will execute a program and 3 Pozoyo dolls will appear and leave the dome. Go to Death Peak and you will see a Pozoyo doll. Talk to it and it will become a tree. Use the trees as shelter when the winds pick up and run up when they die down. Once you get to the next screen, you no longer have to worry about being blown off.

|
When you battle Lavos, you will engage him in three different forms. If you are leveled to 50 or more and are well equipped (it is recommended you attempt to do the sidequests for the highest weapons) this should not be too difficult. In the first form, he will take on the characteristics of a number of bosses you fought previously. They are: Dragon Tank, Guardian, Heckran, Zombor, Masa and Mune, Nizbel, Magus, Azala and Black Tyrano, and Giga Gaia. Once you have defeated these mimics, you will actual fight Lavos. Use your strongest Techs such as Luminaire, and Triple Kick and have plenty of Ethers and healing items available. After he has been defeated, you will go inside the shell to encounter the second form of Lavos. This form has hands which you want to take out. First, destroy the right hand as it will do healing for the body. Use any of your Tech attacks that will target more than one spot then after the arms are gone, use your strongest attacks on the body. In his final form, Lavos has two bits hovering around him. Attack the one on the left first - once that is gone. work on the right bit. Once that is gone, Lavos will be destroyed and the game is over.

How can I get to the Sealed Cave in the Underworld?
|
|
To get to the Sealed cave your airship has to be able to fly over the magma oceans in the Underworld. After talking to King Giott, go to the infirmiry and you will find Cid. Talk to him, and he will modify your airship for you. You will easily be able to get to the Sealed Cave, as well as the Land of Summoned Monsters, the Sylvan Cave, Kokkol's blacksmith shop, and the Village of Tomra.
|
|
How do I defeat the Evil Wall in the Sealed Cave?
|
|
The Evil Wall is one of the most difficult battles in the game. The Evil Wall has 28,000 Hit Points and an attack called Crush, which will instantly kill a character. The objective of this battle is to kill the Evil Wall before he reaches you and begins using Crush on your party members.
Immediately after the battle begins the Evil Wall will move quickly towards your party. Waste no time in fighting this beast. Have Rosa cast Berserk and Haste on Cecil so he will get maximum damage in during the fight. After you've casted those spells on Cecil, Rosa should switch between moderate healing and attacking for physical damage. Have Kain constantly jump through this entire battle. Have Rydia cast Bio, Ice 3, or Leviathan if you have them. Do not let up your attacks or you'll quickly lose ground in this battle.
If you're still having a problem after using the following strategy, go into the "Config" option on the menu screen and turn down your battle speed. This should cause the Evil Wall to move a little slower during battle. This battle is usually a close one.

|
Where can I find the Adamantite?
|
|
Go to Tycoon Meteor and you will now be able to go inside of it. The Adamantite is on the wall inside. Take it and try to leave and you will get into a boss fight with Adamantaim. Defeat it and take the Adamantite to Cid & Mid.
|
|
I'm in a room in the Valley of Dragons. There is a locked door and a switch below me that I can't reach. What's next?
|
|
Once inside the room, walk along the right side and you will fall through a hole. You will be able to proceed to the switch to open the door from there.
|
|
How can I keep Shadow from dying at the Floating Island?
|
|
There is a time limit to leave the floating island before it explodes. When you get to where you can jump on the airship, it will ask whether you want to leave. Choose wait. Do this one or two more times and choose "Gotta wait for Shadow". When there is about 5 seconds left, Shadow will come out and leave with you.
|
|
Where can I get the "Final Attack" materia?
|
|
This is one of the more commonly asked questions for Final Fantasy VII, partly because of a misprint in the official Final Fantasy VII strategy guide from Brady Games. The true location of the "Final Attack" materia is in the Battle Square in the Gold Saucer. Have Cloud equipped with the Ultima Weapon (Cloud's ultimate weapon), have the "W-Summon" materia equipped in one of his materia slots, and have "Omnislash" set as Cloud's limit break. Talk to the receptionist at the Battle Square and she will offer Cloud a chance to compete in the Special Battle. Once you beat the Special Battle, you will receive the "Final Attack" materia.

How can I get the Gold Chocobo?
|
|
There are 2 ways to get a Gold Chocobo. One way would be to defeat Ruby Weapon. When victorious, you will receive the Desert Rose. Take the Desert Rose and give it to the Kalm Traveler and he will give you a Gold Chocobo.
There is an easier, but more time consuming way to get it, and that's by breeding it. Here is the process involved in creating a Gold Chocobo:
· Once you've purchased Chocobo stables at Choco Billy's farm, capture a Great Chocobo and a Good Chocobo (2 great or 2 good Chocobos would work just as well), make sure you have both a male and a female, and use a Carob Nut. Do this a couple of times to get both a Blue Chocobo, which can walk along shallow water and rivers, and a Green Chocobo, which can walk on mountains.
· Breed the Blue and Green Chocobos with another Carob Nut and you will get a Black Chocobo, which can walk on both rivers and mountains.
· Breed your Black Chocobo with a wonderful Chocobo by using a Zeio Nut and you will get the Gold Chocobo.
If you are having problems getting the Chocobos you want from breeding, there are 2 things you can do to get better odds from the breeding. First, save just before breeding and do a soft reset (hold down L1, L2, R1, R2, Select and Start at the same time) if you don't get the Chocobo you want. Keep doing that until you get what you want. If this is taking too much time, you can increase your chances by racing your Chocobo's at the Gold Saucer until they are at A or S rank.

|
Where can I find the White SeeD ship?
|
|
The White SeeD ship is located inside of the inlet of an island located near Edea's orphanage. From the orphanage, take the Garden north and you will come to an island shaped like a deformed letter "C". The ship is inside the inlet of that island. You actually have to go inside of the inlet to be able to see it. Once you find it, just take the Garden right up to it and you will board the ship.

|
How do I beat Sorceress Adel on Disc 4?
|
|
Defeating Sorceress Adel would be simple except for one thing: She's got Rinoa strapped to her chest. There are 2 ways you can lose this battle: Adel will kill your characters or if you damage Rinoa too much. Avoid using GF's, as they will likely kill Rinoa rather quickly as well as hit Adel. Adel draining life from Rinoa every turn makes things even more difficult. Follow these steps and Adel will go down easily.
· Have "Full Life" junctioned to your characters' HP, and "Meteor" or "Flare" junctioned to their STR.
· At the beginning of the battle, cast "Regen" on Rinoa to offset the HP that Adel is taking off of her. Cast "Haste", "Protect" and "Shell" on your party to protect against Adel's attacks.
· Either keep Squall low on HP or cast "Aura" on him, and have him use his limit break attack as your main means of offense. Irvine's limit break, Shot, used with AP ammo is also very effective. Other party members should concentrate on protective or curative spells and abilities for the party, and throw in the occasional physical attack on Adel as well, depending on how things are going during the battle.
|
|
I've finally gotten the Gold Chocobo from the "Chocobo Hot & Cold" sidequest, but I don't know how to make him fly.
|
|
Once you obtain the airship, simply take the Gold Chocobo to any forest (the Chocobo Forest doesn't count) and press the X button. Press the circle button to land. The Chocobo must both take off and land in a forest.

|
I'm inside Kuja's Desert Palace on disc 3. I've lit all the candles I can find, but nothing is happening.
|
|
There are generally 3 parts of the Desert Palace that people get stuck on:
|
|
|
| 1. |
To the left of the Library, there is an area with two statues, an angel on the left and a demon on the right. After lighting all the candles and retrieving all the bloodstones, go to the Angel statue and extinguish the candle to the left of it. Next, go to the demon statue and extinguish the candle to the left of it also. If done correctly, a glowing staircase leading up should appear to your left. Go up and light the final candle.
|
|
| 2. |
If you've already gotten the staircase to appear and you can't get the final candle to light, odds are good that you've missed lighting a candle somewhere in the palace. The candles that are commonly missed are located in the Library. To get to them, walk up the staircase and extinguish the candle. The bookcase next to it will raise and you can light the candles you missed. Otherwise, just backtrack through the palace and search the walls thoroughly.
|
|
| 3. |
After the boss Valia Pira is defeated, your party is reunited (minus Eiko) and Kuja escapes, you might find yourself unable to leave the palace. To exit the palace, go up one screen from where the Airship was docked. You will come to a cliff with metal railing. Go to your right and you will find a lever. Throw the lever, and a ladder will lower from the platform. Climb down and walk upward and you will be out of there.
|
|
Where is the "Ocean" Chocograph located?
|
|
There is an island located to the west of the Forgotten Island called Everlang Island. It is a long island with Chocobo tracks, a forest and a beach. The "Ocean" Chocograph is located in the deep waters just to the west of Everlang Island.
|
|
How do I get the Celestial Mirror?
|
|
There is a series of events and dialogue you have to go through in order to get the Celestial Mirror, which is necessary to power up every character's Legendary Weapon. The quest starts out in the Calm Lands, and to be able to start you need to be able to ride a Chocobo there. If you haven't done it already, find the Chocobo Trainer (located overlooking the northwest cliff in the Calm Lands) and complete at least one of the time trials. This will enable you to ride a Chocobo in the Calm Lands.
|
|
|
| 1. |
Obtain a Chocobo and ride to the southern entrance of the Calm Lands (where you first entered from Macalania Woods). From there, go as far right on the cliff as you can. You will see a Chocobo Feather on the ground, which tells you that your Chocobo can jump from there. Have your Chocobo jump across to the other side. Get off your Chocobo and walk up to the next screen.
|
|
| 2. |
Cross the bridge and you will come across the enormous Remiem Temple. Outside of the temple, you will see Chocobos standing on either side of the temple. Examine the information sphere next to the Chocobo on the left and it will detail the rules of the Chobobo race you can engage in there. Examine the Chocobo on the right and you can begin the race. Once you win the race you will obtain a Key Item called the Cloudy Mirror.
|
|
| 3. |
Walk over to the southern portion of Macalania Woods, and you will find a mother standing with her son. Talk to each of them and they will tell you that her husband is missing. From there, walk 2 screens to the right, then one screen up and you will find the husband standing around. Talk to him and select the option that sends him to meet his family.
|
|
| 4. |
Walk back to where the mother and son were, and you'll find the mother and her husband. This next part is important, so don't blink. Talk to each of them 3 times in a row and they will tell you that their son is now missing. Once you've done that, walk up the rainbow path just above the save point to the next screen. There is a smaller path that branches up from the main path. There was a woman blocking this path, but she should be gone now. You'll find the boy standing next to an enormous sphere, and you'll be asked if you want to use the Cloudy Mirror. Saying yes will result in transforming the Cloudy Mirror into the Celestial Mirror

|
I'm in the Djose temple, and I can't go any further because I can't get across a lightning pit. What do I do next?
|
|
To get across the lightning pit, look on the wall to the right of the pedestal, where you placed the other 2 Djose spheres. Take both spheres out and put each of them in the pedestal on the floor. This is one of the few pedestals in the game that has two slots. Once both spheres are in, push the pedestal into the lightning pit. It will hover in mid-air so you can jump across. Flip the switch, and the eye in the design on the floor will light up. Everything else in the temple should be a breeze.
|
|
I'm trying to obtain the dark Aeon, Anima. I go into the Baaj Temple and some of the statues aren't lighting up. What can I do?
|
|
There are 6 treasures that can be obtained by using the Destruction spheres in each temple's Cloister of Trials. Miss any one of these and you won't be able to obtain Anima. Here is a location list of which statue corresponds with each temple. If one of these doesn't light up, you have to go back to that temple and obtain the destruction sphere treasure:
Upper left (near door to Chamber of Fayth) - Besaid
Middle left - Macalania
Lower left (near temple entrance) - Yevon Dome (in Zanarkand)
Upper right (near door to Chamber of Fayth) - Bevelle
Middle right - Djose
Lower right (near temple entrance) - Kilika
If you find yourself unable to get back into most temples because you've been declared a traitor of Yevon, just board your airship and select the location called Highbridge. This will take you back to Bevelle to speak with Grand Maester Mika. Once this scene is finished, you will be able to re-enter any of the temples with the exception of Bevelle. The Destruction Sphere treasure at Bevelle is obtained automatically, so you don't have to worry about going back in there.

Wonderland: I locked the keyhole in Wonderland. How do I get out?
|
|
After sealing the keyhole in Wonderland, it's only natural to search for Alice and come to her rescue. Unfortunately, she has been kidnapped and cannot be rescued at this time.
I know this seems like an easy one, but this is actually the #1 question our CS dept. has been receiving.
|
|
Continue on with the game by returning to the save point and going back into the gummi ship. You will find a new location on the map, but before you visit the new place, head back to Traverse Town to buy some new weapons.
|
|
Deep Jungle: How do I defeat the Stealth Sneak and Clayton Bosses at the same time?
|
|
Rather than attacking both equally you should first take out Stealth Sneak. The Scan ability will show the monster's HP. The first bar will tell you how much damage is needed to make Stealth Sneak visible. If the monster stands up on its haunches, dodge roll out of the way as it will launch an extremely fast attack. When the yellow meter is exhausted, be careful as Clayton will get off the monster and attack from the side. When it's time to defeat Clayton use the Fire ability to knock him off ledges. It's best to dodge roll behind him then launch combos to defeat him.
|
|
Hundred Acre Wood: How do I catch piglet?
|
|
As you take your venture through Winnie The Pooh's storybook (accessible in the Mystical House) of Hundred Acre Wood, you'll soon be able to enter the Hunny Tree. Upon entering, you'll encounter Pooh's best friend, Piglet. As you go to meet Piglet, he runs off behind the bush, then behind the tree. Each time you walk up to him he keeps running off, and it seems as if there is nothing else you can do.
When Piglet runs to hide behind the tree, go around the other side of the tree and sneak up behind him. Get up close and select the "Talk" option in your command menu to continue the story.

Hollow Bastion: Where are Dalmations 60,61,and 62?
|
|
|
These Dalmatians are available only after you've returned to Hollow Bastion to seal the Keyhole there. Go into the laboratory where you fought Riku the last time, and jump on the left ledge from where the Keyhole portal is. The chest is kind of hard to see, since it's tucked away on the ledge near where the machinery is. The Oblivion Keychain is also located in the laboratory, and it's more than likely the most powerful weapon you can get before sealing the Hollow Bastion Keyhole.
|
|
Halloween Town: Where are Dalmations 70,71,and 72?
|
|
|
To get to these Dalmatians, you first need to have acquired the Glide ability. Go to Halloween Town and locate the big gray pumpkin head in Guillotine Square. To find it, as you enter the Square from the Guillotine Gate, press the Select button on your controller for first person viewing, and look over to the upper left side. The Dalmatians can be found inside of the mouth. To get in there, go to the wall on the right side from the gray pumpkin and jump on the ledge. Standing on the ledge, use the glide ability to jump and glide into the mouth of the pumpkin where you can release the Dalmatians.

Neverland: How do I get the useful items from the clocktower?
|
|
As you move on down the list of accessories to be made at the Synth Shop, you'll find that some items for synthing are easier to find than others. Besides the Mystery Goo, which can only be obtained from the various Mushroom Heartless in the game, here is a list of hard-to-find synth items and which enemies drop them:
|
|
Traverse Town: How do I get hard-to-find Synth Elements?

This item is only available at the "End of the World" stage. You get it from the Angel Star and Invisible enemies.
|
|
| Thunder Gem |
Aquatanks, Screwdivers (Atlantica)
|
|
| Power Gem |
Pirates, Air Pirates, Battleships (Never Land)
|
|
Traverse Town: How do I get Sora's Ultimate Weapon?
|
|
Sora's Ultima Weapon is the most powerful Keychain in the game. It can be made by the Moogles in the Synth Shop. To get it to appear on the list, you must have synthed at least one of every other item in the Synth Shop. There are 24 items in all, not including Ultima Weapon. If you've made all the items on the list and there aren't 24 items available, exit the synth menu and then re-enter it: more items will become available.
Once Ultima Weapon shows up on the menu, you'll need the following items to make it:
|
|
|
| |
5 Lucid Gems
|
|
| |
5 Power Gems
|
|
| |
5 Thunder Gems
|
|
| |
3 Mystery Goos

Olympus Coliseum: How do I get Donald and Goofy's best weapons?
|
|
The best weapons for both Donald and Goofy: "Save the King and Save the Queen" can be obtained at the Olympus Coliseum, conveniently enough. To get Donald's best weapon, Save the Queen, you must complete all four tournaments (Phil Cup, Pegasus Cup, Hercules Cup and Hades Cup) with Sora competing alone. For Goofy's best weapon, Save the King, you must complete the Time Trials for all four tournaments.
|
|
Olympus Coliseum: How do I battle Sephiroth?
|
|
Sephiroth is back, and since Cloud's not around, he's looking to vent his frustrations on Sora. To access this optional fight, you must first win the Hades Cup tournament at the Olympus Coliseum. After that, you get the option to fight Sephiroth one-on-one in the Platinum Match.
To prepare for this battle, we recommend that Sora be at least Level 80. He must have the "Second Chance" ability equipped, and it helps to have the "Ars Arcanum" attack available. Obviously, having Ultima Weapon equipped will help Sora do more damage. Put Elixirs in all of Sora's item slots: he'll most likely need them all.
Sephiroth is probably the most difficult boss to hit effectively, because of his weapon's long reach and his teleporting all over the place. Cast Aeroga on Sora, and keep re-casting it on him to cut down on the damage. It's vitally important to have a target lock on him. Anytime he teleports, hit R1 to reestablish the lock. Use either the "Glide" or "Superglide" ability to close the distance on him and attack from the air. If he conjures up a flame pillar around him, use Strike Raid to hit him from a distance or Ars Arcanum if you're next to him when he does it.
After his HP meter reaches pink, he'll teleport away and say "Sin Harvest". This indicates he is about to unleash an attack that will reduce your HP to 1 (to 0 if you didn't equip "Second Chance") and your MP to 0. If he teleports close to you, get to him as fast as you can and hit him. If you time it right, odds are good you'll prevent the attack from succeeding. If he's too far away, move as far away as possible and get ready to use an Elixir fast, because he'll follow up Sin Harvest with a love tap to finish you off.
After getting his HP meter down to orange, he'll abandon the Sin Harvest attack for a more manageable series of flying attacks. Avoid them as best you can and wait for him to land to inflict more punishment. Once his HP meter is yellow, he'll cast his ultimate attack (although it's a cinch compared to "Sin Harvest"), Meteor. You can't damage him during this attack, so avoid, heal, and cast Aeroga to prepare yourself for the final stretch of the battle, where he'll mainly attack you with dark orbs of energy and a spinning aerial attack. Just stick and move, do damage when you get the chance and Sephiroth is history.

End of Game: Special Bonus Movie Ending
|
|
After the regular game ending, you can view an optional secret movie called the "Special Secret", which features a decidedly darker, and more realistic animation style. To view this sequence, you must have completed the following requirements in the game before defeating the final boss:
|
|
|
| |
Rescue all 99 missing Dalmation puppies
|
|
| |
Complete the Hades Cup by defeating Hades at the Olympus Coliseum
|
|
| |
Seal the Keyholes for all of the worlds (including the Hundred Acre Wood)
|
|
I'm in the Laboratory on B2 in the Shelter. What is the password to the laptop computer there?
|
|
You should notice 2 things about the laptop screen: The word "MELISSAMAYA" and a caterpillar crawling along the top of the screen. The caterpillar indicates that the computer is infected with a virus, and part of what the virus does is scramble all passwords needed to access it. "MELISSAMAYA" was the original password. The new password is "A3EILM2S2Y".
|
|
I'm having trouble defeating the first form of the final boss. How can I beat it?
|
|
The final boss in Parasite Eve 2 is one of the toughest battles of skill you'll ever face. The first form being a giant mutated ANMC baby. The vulnerable parts on this gigantic baby are the head, neck, two shoulders, two arms, lower front, lower behind, two tentacles, two tentacle bases, and the gigantic chest core. The boss has the following attacks for each of his body parts.
Head- Dual Laser Beam
Neck- Shockwave attack (induces blindness)
Shoulders- Green Gas attack (induces poison)
Arms- Fly Swatter
Lower Front- White Acid Shot (induces Paralysis)
Lower Behind- No Attack
Tentacles- White Acid Shot (induces Paralysis)
Split Tentacles- Tentacle Chop
Tentacle Bases- No Attack
Chest Core- Sunburst Strike
Finding a particular order to rid this boss of his body parts to leave him as vulnerable as possible is crucial to winning this battle (and retaining as much ammo and supplies as possible for the second form). Try to find how these attacks strike and how to counter them the first couple times you go into battle with this first form. Know that as soon as you destroy two to three body parts on this boss, the Chest Core will open up and his Starburst Strike will hit for massive damage if you're caught. If you'd like further assistance I've included the best way to counterattack some of these devastating strikes and give some insight on exactly how to take on the toughest encounter of the game.
When first starting the battle, there isn't much room to run around, don't panic, you can hit him for a devastating blow right in the beginning of the battle. Take a few steps straight forward so that Aya is as close to this monster as possible. Attack with your Combustion Lv. 3 spell (level 2 and under will not hit him correctly). If properly placed, this attack will hit both shoulders and his head. Do this THREE times. The shoulders twitch and die. This disables his Green Gas attack (note: if the arms fall off you've done it wrong).
Then target the head with your grenades attack the head repeatedly. Don't run around! You'll be taking damage this whole time from his Dual Laser Beam, just take the damage, keep shooting and heal when necessary.
After the head comes off, it will reveal the neck form under it. Fire grenades at the neck while in the center of the ramp. You can dodge his necks Shockwave attack by running slightly down the ramp to your right where you're too low for it to reach you. Repeat moving slightly up the ramp and down firing and reloading at your leisure until the neck is destroyed. This stops his Shockwave attack and opens the boss' Chest Core.
This is where the battle really starts heating up (literally), if your caught in the Sunburst Strike, your set for an instant kill. As soon as his chest begins opening the first time. run as fast as you can up to the top of the left side of the screen. If you positioned yourself correctly, the boss should be sideways on your screen performing the Sunburst Strike while you're near his right arm looking at the boss from a profile view. Attempt to target a Pyrokinesis right through him (from right arm to left). One Pyrokinesis at Lv 3 will take off BOTH arms at once if your aim was correct.
Now the only danger of being hit from the boss' front side is his White Acid Shot attack and his Sunburst Strike (the more dangerous being the Sunburst Strike). You're going to want to KEEP MOVING around and around the ledge, making the boss spin around following you. This is your most effective means of dodging the Sunburst Strike. For a second or two after the Sunburst Strike the boss keeps his Chest Core open, at that time you want to fire into it with a Grenade, reload, and keep running. Repeat, picking off shots at your discretion. If you get hit with either attack, be sure to heal status anomalies and refill HP as necessary. Settle in for a lot of moving and dodging cause this is the longest part of this battle. After the Core is destroyed, it's onto the second form!
You will receive more XP and BP if you destroy ALL of this boss' body parts. However, this is a much more difficult task and purely optional. So I leave you to work this strategy into your own game. The strategy above is a great way to start. Good Luck!

How can I get out of the Snowfly Forest?
|
|
The Snowfly Forest is a maze, for lack of a better description. Certain areas will warp you to another part of the forest, so navigating it isn't easy. There are 2 major bosses you have to defeat before being able to leave the forest and proceed with the game:
|
|
|

How do I solve the water puzzle in the second Anima Dungeon?
|
|
The object of this puzzle is to get the water level from 10 to 5. The switches on the walls affect the increments of water, and the floor switches add & subtract the water. Hit the switches in this order:
1. Hit the wall switch on the left once.
2. Hit the floor switch on the right three times. (10 - 9 = 1)
3. Hit the wall switch on the right once.
4. Hit the floor switch on the left once. (1 + 7 = 8)
5. Hit the wall switch on the left once.
6. Hit the floor switch on the right once. (8 - 3 = 5).
If you've done this correctly, the water should drain out and a door should open.

At the start of the fight let everyone attack to build their attack level to 1. Then, after Deus does his 1z2 hit point attack, don't attack. Just sit back, charge fuel and use HP Frames to recover hit points. Not only is Deus reducing your hit points, he is reducing his own hit points as well. Take note of the amount of hit points that come off of Deus during this attack, because it also signifies how many he has left. Once you see its hit points go to 5000 or less, do an attack level combo or use Fei's System Id to finish it off.
