Sometimes the enemy is put into the 'Stopped' state. - For a few moments, they cannot move or hit back. > You can add a total of 8 different special effects. + Each coin needs one Synthesis Point. - Only one of each type of effect may be added. + They show in the Weapon Status Screen above the WHP Gauge and below the picture of the weapon. - In this order across the screen: Wealth| Poison| Time| Bandit| Indestructible| Healing | Bull's Eye| Experience| OR | Absorption| ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ ++ ++ ++++ WEAPONS BUILD-UP ~~ PREPARATION FOR CHAPTER 6 ++ ++ ++ +=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+ > Chapter 4 (Ocean's Roar Cave) gave you opportunity to build up certain weapons. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ = *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* ** RECOMMENDED BUILD-UPS ~~ CHP 4 ** *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* > During Chapter 4, you were recommended to continue to build (-->) weapons for both Max and Monica (choose among them or do them all). + Max's: - Stinger Wrench --> Poison Wrench. - Cubic Hammer --> Digi Hammer. - Wild Cat --> Sexy Panther. - Jurak Gun --> Question Shooter. - Build up Dark Viper. + Build up Monica's Armbands: - Platinum Brassard --> Athena's Armlet (Fire emphasis). - 2nd Platinum Brassard --> Destruction Brassard (Lightning emphasis). - Pocklekul --> Spirit Brassard (Cyclone emphasis). - Thorn Armlet --> Moon Armlet (Chill emphasis). + Build Monica's Swords: - Serpent Slicer --> Tsukikage - Claymore --> Cross Heinder. - Antique Sword --> Halloween Blade. - Brave Ark --> Ruler's Sword. - Wise Owl Sword --> Lamb's Sword (alternating Light and Dark Sword). - Drain Seeker --> Sargatanas. - Build up Small Sword. NOTE: You can build these weapons to the point where the new weapon's name is displayed and the wavery blue lines show in the Weapon Status Screen. BUT: + The build-up will NOT be possible until certain monsters are defeated. HOWEVER... > Attribute buildup: + You CAN build attributes to 110 points (Durable is less) and in some cases (indicated below) to 125. + The box charts below give the MINIMUM values needed for the listed attribute. - The '-->' (followed by values) are those NEEDED for the FINAL upgrade of these weapons. - 'Attack' values are not included since these automatically increase every time the weapon levels up. - If you have 'spare' Synthesis Points, build up any of the other attributes. > General rules for building attributes (synthesize the crystals first): + Power Crystals (Attack) and Destruction Crystals (Smash) make weapons stronger. + For the following monster types: - Beast ............. Hunter Crystals (Beast attribute). - Reptile ........... Sea Dragon Crystals (Scale). - Aquatic ........... Sea Dragon Crystals (Scale). - Undead ............ Holy Crystals (Exorcism). - Flying Critters ... Wind Crystals (Cyclone). + For the others, one of the four magics (as indicated in the blue Monster Note Book in your Item Bag): Flame (Fl.), Chill (Ch.), Lightning (Li.), or Cyclone (Cy.) + Check your blue Monster Note Book. - As soon as you have defeated at least one critter, you can find their weakness(es). - You can also find out how many you have defeated (the book keeps a running total). NOTE: If you didn't take advantage of Lin in Chapter 4, you should raise at least the following armbands: # Destruction Brassard. # Spirit Brassard. =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ = *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* ** SHORT-CUT TO BUILDING WEAPONS ** *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* > If you have enough medals, you can buy a 'Name-Change Ticket' from Mayor Need (on the train) for 40 medals each. + When you have a Name-Change Ticket in your item Bag, there is an addition to the menu for all weapons. - Change Name ..... Choose this if you want to change a weapon. + Name-Change Tickets not only change a weapon's name but also change the weapon itself. - For example. # Suppose you have a 'Digi Hammer'. * The build up to Heavy Hammer requires that the Digi Hammer defeat two monsters: An 'Iron Mask' and a 'Pirate Eye'. * With a Name-Change Ticket in the Item Bag, put the indicator on the Digi Hammer and press [X]. * Choose 'Change Name' and the screen of the 'Name Change Menu' is displayed. * By: 1) Backspacing (<) to the first character in 'Digi' 2) Pressing 'DEL' four times (to delete the word 'Digi'). 3) Pressing 'INS' five times (to insert five spaces). 4) Selecting the characters to spell 'Heavy' (not all capitals). NOTE: you MUST spell the name exactly as it would appear on the 'real' weapon. * The weapon becomes the '[Heavy Hammer]' NOTE: The game adds the square brackets to distinguish the renamed Hammer from one that has been built up from scratch. # The new weapon has the appearance AND the attributes of the Heavy Hammer. NOTE: You could sell the [Heavy Hammer] for 800 G! + ANY WEAPON CAN BE CHANGED TO ANY OTHER WEAPON WITH THIS METHOD. - For example: You can change a sword into a Heavy Hammer. > WARNING: + THE NEWLY NAMED WEAPON HOLDS THE *MINIMUM* ATTRIBUTE VALUES OF THE HEAVY HAMMER NOT... ...REPEAT, NOT THE VALUES YOU MAY HAVE BUILT UP. - For example a Digi Hammer which had a high Smash attribute (say 125), when the name change takes effect, has the reduced value of that attribute, 110. > BENEFIT: + Suppose you take a weapon that has had NO build-up such as a 'Broad Sword' or a 'Battle Wrench' and change its name to 'Heavy Hammer'. - Here are the changes in Attribute values: Broad Sword --> [Heavy Hammer] WHP = 48 WHP = 85 ________________ _________________ |Attack.... 22 | |Attack.... 101 | |Durable .. 25 | |Durable .. 80 | |Chill..... 0 | |Chill..... 130 | |Cyclone... 21 | |Cyclone... 0 | |Smash..... 0 | |Smash..... 110 | |Exorcism.. 21 | |Exorcism.. 110 | |______________| |_______________| > SUGGESTIONS: + If you have only enough Medals for a single Name-Change Ticket. - Change a weapon to LEGEND for the fight against Gaspard. + Buy the least expensive weapons (Classic Gun at 150 G) to be renamed. + Change the name to 'LEGEND' (yes all capitals). - This weapon builds up levels quickly. # It starts with two Synthesis Points and adds 6 every Level-Up. - You can use the Synthesis points to build attributes to 250 points. # Start with Smash. # Add coins as you can. + In the examples below, I used a Battle Wrench. - You can just as easily and more cheaply use a Classic Gun.

Banquet of the Dead is a good one to upgrade the Badge. - If you don't have this Badge at all, go back to Starlight Canyon: # Floor 4 is where you get the Badge : # How to get and upgrade it: * Use the Dark Cloud 2 Walkthrough: Chapter 3. * When this Badge is at level 20, you can fill the 'Wipe-Out with Monster Transformation' goals in Starlight Canyon.
