Sweet mother of god Fior has maybe the best chain special attack in the game :-O she does huge damage to mechon.

I will try to finish this game this weekend, altough I have to learn :/

I think you'll struggle...where are ya? 

And yes, she does. What a pro. It's changable, depending on leg-gear, you know!


I had to work all day and my batteries are almost depleted(thank you Wii) and I hadn´t any spare ones so I stole the remote batteries from my sister but they are almost depleted as well :/

Right now I´am at mechonis halls, Halls of the Mechonis don´t how this place is called in English. And i just fought the Terminator, um I meant Gadolt for the first time pretty easy fight again. And I love Fiora she kills Mechon like little puppies espacially with her Virus attack.

Is this in the abandoned capital? If so, ABORT NOW!

I clarified to someone how to properly pull of a Skillchain with the intention to deal damage. I think its worth pointing out in here too, since there will be, undoubtetly, people who may not be aware of this, due to beeing at the beginning of this game;

The important thing is, imo, to keep the multiplier up. this can be done even if yer change the Color. (3 Strikes of category Red for example would set the multiplier to 3...  while staggering, meaning pink-green-yellow, wouldnt, since you change the skill's category with every different color.)
meaning: Attack Red (MP red: 1) -> Attack Red (MP red2) -> Attack Red (MP red3) and so on... when now choosing a green colored skill as follow-up, the counter would fall back to 1! .. you can prevent this by using "Grey" Skills inbetween changing colors, like this; Attack Red (MP red: 1) -> Attack Red (MP red2) -> Attack Red (MP red3) -> Monadolololol (MP Grey 4) -> Attack Green (MP Green 5) since Grey is "compatible" with any color and will eventually convert Red(or else) into green(or else.. the benefit is that the damage increases, the higher the number is.

Thanks brother I didn´t knew that. I allways used the chain attacks, to stagger knock down and knock out enemies.

Do people not read the tutorials? It always amazes me how people go through the entire game not knowing how to give gifts (allowable), skill-link (acceptable, just), craft gems (unforgivable) or fast-travel to any maps in any location of the game (WTH?)

Yeah, chain arts of the same colour (attack are red, heal are blue, break are pink, topple are green, daze are yellow, elemental are purple etc.) to increase the damage/effect by the number on the right. Talent Arts will chain from and to anything.

Lol, yeah, just like that

That's fine. Something...happens next time you meet him, but that's not for a while. Just be sure to do quests (there's a secret area on the slopes outside the field, jump down from the top and one of the little outcrops is hollow, and you can walk into there to find about 7 or 8 NPC's, and quests accordingly, as well as a shop which sells rare stuff), kill UM's and find all locations (did you find that one and the spent fuel tank on B1?) before progressing past that fight.

And, as Sharla says, the next one will hurt even more. The next fight is the second hardest in the game IMO.

Two Questions:

First one: What does NPC mean?

Second one: I have this starving Nopon Sidequest from satorl. Where can I find the ingidiences he needs Zitronensteine(Lemonstones, Citrusstones,)

i didnt read them either. XD i found everything out by myself, which is why i struggled with skilltrees (or rather, that soul-link thing) for ages, but i got it right eventually.



I'm a Foreigner, and as such, i am grateful for everyone pointing out any mistakes in my english posted above - only this way i'll be able to improve. thank you!

1) Non-playable character.

2) Either by hoping for dumb luck when picking up the blue items in the Satorl area or trading with Kacha, the nopon merchant, in the same area. The trade requires at least a three stars affinity for the Central Bionis region which consists of Satorl, Makna and Frontier Village (Grenzdorf).

EDIT: Sidequests that involve blue items can be often solved faster by trading. Ctrl+F the NPC list of the Google Doc and try your luck by guessing the English name for your search term.

I like the spreadsheet, but I find it does have some severe spoilers in...

At the point you're at, it's not so bad, though. But you can see that none of the spoilers are warned. You just need to be careful, is all...
