By JCPK -- email me at JUNGOU@aol.com.
This page is for the ones who have some trouble fighting bosses in the game.
You can distribute this any way you want but not for commercial purposes.
Unless you pay some $$. (Just kidding.) This is my first work on the
Internet.

V. 0.4
This time BuzzBoy15 fixed my typo and add some new stuff. Also Gigg tells me a
easy way to fight D. Zombie.
And some one email me for a easy way when fight in some one on one battles.
Sorry I forgot your name.

V. 0.3
This time I changed some mistakes I made, and also added a few things. Thanks
Cnsoplis for pointing out my mistakes.

V. 0.2
This time I will update the complete information on all the bosses in the
entire game. Next time I will try to see what the bosses are carrying and their
HP.

This whole guide will follow this format:
Boss: Name of the boss
Party: Party members recommended and formation.
Strategy: Ways to fight the boss.
Steal: What you can steal from the Boss (If anything)

Boss: Nue
Party: Ryu Rei Teepo (the only three you have)
Strategy: Use attack formation, put Rei in the front. Have all three characters
attack.
Don't use items unless you are near dead, because after some damage, Nue will
run off.
Steal: Power Food

Boss: Nue (Second Time)
Party: Ryu Rei Teepo
Strategy: Use attack formation again. But this time, Nue is stronger. Ryu
should cast protect on Rei then himself followed by Teepo. Use your strongest
attack and magic.
Be sure to beat this boss quickly, because if not, Nue will use Jolt, which does
a lot damage on the whole party.
Steal: Power Food

Boss: Spike (dog)
Party: Ryu Rei Teepo
Strategy: Just attack, after several rounds it will be defeated. (Learn
Snap from it.)

Boss: Rocky
Party: Ryu Rei Teepo
Strategy: This is a tough boss, because it will change your party members into
eggs. And once you become an egg, it is very easy to be killed. So use items to
heal often. Have all three-characters attack again and it will be
defeated. (Learn Jump from it.)
Steal: Life Shard (not sure)

Boss: Ghost 1~4
Party: Ryu Teepo
Strategy: Just use attacks, don't use magic. Heal when necessary.

Boss: Ghost combined (forget the name)
Party: Rei Ryu Teepo
Strategy: Use attack formation, have Rei in the front. Have Ryu use protect
on each member, the use snap to lower its defense. While other two attacks,
heal often, after a period of tough fight, the Ghost will go down, lucky it
don't have much HP.

Boss: Mutant
Party: Ryu Nina Momo
Strategy: This is a tough boss because it will regenerate 250 HP every round
and it can do huge damage. Use attack formation and put Ryu in the front.
First have Ryu cast protect on everyone then become a Flame-based dragon. Then
use flame claw.
Momo should just attack. And have Nina be the healer.

Claw V.S. Momo
Have Momo use protect and then fight. Heal with items. If she goes down, have
Ryu do the same trick. If you hit the guy stand in fire holding Claw, that guy
will attack Claw and some times heal Momo.

Cawer V.S. Momo/Ryu
You will still have the protect from the first battle so just attack.

The party leader (forget name) V.S. Momo/Ryu
Attack again but be sure to heal when your HP is lower than half of your Max
HP.

Boss: Emitai and the Golems
Party: Ryu Nina Momo
Strategy: Correction here, when you are in battle, have Ryu cast Protect 3
times on each member. Momo should attack Emitai and Nina heal. Once Emitai
is gone, the two Golems will starts to fight each other, and the battle is
much easier.(Thanks to Cnsoplis for telling me this.)

Garr V.S. Ryu
Have Ryu cast protect first then change to Flame-Defender dragon and
attack. After a few round Garr will use lucky strike to take you down.

Boss: Stallion
Party: Garr Ryu Momo
Strategy: Use attack formation and have Garr in the head. Make Ryu become a
Flame-Defender dragon and let Momo cast protect. (Don't let Ryu cast shield
because you want to save his AP because this is going to be a long battle.)
Have Garr attack. After Stallion does his classic Ultra attack, (If you
know who Ultraman is) be sure to heal. After a while this boss will go
down.

Boss: Zig
Party: Who ever
Strategy: Defend until Zig waves his hand, then you can heal Beyd. And let
Beyd attack Zig. It is a dual after all.

Boss: Gazer
Party: Ryu Garr Peco
Strategy: Use attack formation and put Ryu in the head. First have Ryu cast
shield.
Then change to a dragon if you have any AP. Garr and Peco should
just attack. Be sure to heal when Gazer does his eye beam.

Boss: Dolphin
Party: Ryu Nina Momo
Strategy: Use attack formation put Ryu in the head. Let Momo cast protect
on each member. Then cast speed on each member (If Momo is level 19 she will
have speed) Ryu should become a Thunder-Defender-Eldritch dragon. And use
Tsunami. Let Nina be the healer.

Boss: Old man and the two Monsters.
Party: Peco Ryu Nina
Strategy: Use attack formation. Put Peco in the head and let him equip the Ring
of Fire.
Have Ryu cast shield then become a Frost-Defender dragon. Then use frost
breath.
Have Nina use ice based spells and Peco should attack. When you kill the two
monsters, go for the old man.

Garr V.S. Ryu
Have Ryu cast protect first, then change to Flame-Defender dragon and
attack. Just knock Garr a few round and Garr will go down. (Thanks Cnsoplis
again for telling me this.)

This is basically the boss you will meet in Ryu's child form.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here starts the boss Ryu will face when he is an adult. It is only a few
because I didn't finish the game yet.

Boss: Dragon Zombie
Party: Ryu and Garr
Strategy: Wait and heal up until D. Zombie is out of AP. Don't try to heal
the poison, because it will poison you again. When D. Zombie is out of AP. Or,
you can
use the easy way--cast Restore on the Dragon Zombie and it will go down very
quick.

Boss: Weretiger (Rei)
Party: Ryu and Garr
Strategy: Just attack and Weretiger will run off.

Boss: Midba
Party: Ryu Garr Rei
Strategy: Use defender formation and put Ryu and Garr in the head. First
Ryu should cast shield. Have Garr use items to revive Rei. In the next turn
have Rei heal himself and he will become the Weretiger. Have Ryu then cast
protect on Rei, and Garr heal.
In this battle Ryu and Garr should both be the healers. Let Rei be the only one
attacking Midba,
because Rei some times will hit your party members.
Steal: Silver Mail

Boss: Huge slug
Party: Peco Momo Ryu
Strategy: Use attack formation and Peco in the head. Ryu should use Force
Gene and use Aura until you run out AP. Have Momo cast might on Peco and let
Peco attack.

Boss: Plant Director (Palet)
Party: Peco Momo Ryu
Strategy: Use attack formation and put Peco in the head. Have Ryu become a
Flame-Force dragon.
Then use Aura until you run out of AP. Have Momo cast might on everyone then
attack.
As for Peco, just let him attack. This is a tough boss. Don't try to revive a
party member if he is dead.
It is ether you win or you die. (It took me 4 time to beat this boss) As soon
as he starts using Blitz,
attack him. He is almost dead.

Geist V.S. Ryu
Have Ryu cast protect and barrier on himself. Then become a Force-
Defender-Frost dragon. Use Frost Breath twice to take out the two torches.
Then use Aura two times. After that attack him with Frost Claw.

Boss: Angler
Party: Peco Ryu Garr
Strategy: All three characters attack, and let Ryu be the healer. You
shouldn't have that much trouble to kill this fish.

Boss: Ammonites
Party: Peco Ryu Rei
Strategy: Let Rei be the healer because he is fast, and let Peco attack.
While Ryu casts Shield and barrier on all party, the let him become a Frost-
Force dragon, and use Aura. Be sure not to put Ryu in the first row so he has
less chance to be confused.
Steal: Life Shard

Boss: Jono
Party: Peco Ryu Momo
Strategy: Since you can't cast dragon spells in this battle, be sure to cast
protect 5 times, I'm not kidding, then cast Barrier on each one twice. And
have Momo cast speed on Ryu so he is faster then Jono, after that, have
Momo cast might on everyone twice. Peco should just attack. And having the
Ring of Fire really helps in here.
Jono has lots of HP but if you stay healthy, and fight hard, you will win.


Boss: Mammoth
Party: Peco/Garr Ryu Rei
Strategy: Ok, I know you just got the Infinity dragon Gene, and you want to
try it on this boss. But don't, Infinity is not as good as it sounds.
Just have Ryu cast shield and barrier. Then change to a Force dragon and
use Aura to knock this boss for 4~5 time and it will die.
Steal: Power Food

Boss: Chimera
Party: Ryu Peco Rei
Strategy: To fight this boss, you have to remember one thing: Don't let it
paralyze you, cure it right way. And this boss only does physical attacks,
so you don't need to cast barrier. Just cast shield 2 times and become a Force
dragon and use Aura.
(No boss except Myria can hold Aura for 6 times, even Teepo will die after 6
hit.)


Boss: Teepo (Arwan)
Since you only have Ryu this is a tough battle. But you shouldn't have too much
of a hard time if you equip a Dream Ring.
Just remember to heal yourself when HP gets low. But save your AP for the
upcoming real battle.

Boss: Teepo (D. Lord)
Party: Rei Momo Ryu
Strategy: Teepo has about 10,000 HP, but don't worry. Have Ryu cast shield,
then use Force gene and use Aura about 6 times and it will die. (Teepo may be
faster than you, and maybe he will kill one of you characters in the first
round, don't try to revive that character, but instead, raise defense of the
other two, then go back to revive that character. You can steal a Dragon
Sword from Teepo, but it is not necessary since the Royal Sword is better.)
Steal: Dragon Sword

Boss: Sample 10, 11 & 12
Party: Ryu Momo Rei
Strategy: Have Rei steal a life shard from each of the bosses, while Momo
casts Might, and Ryu casts barrier on each. Having the Elemental Ring really
helps here.
Attack the Ice cast one first, then the Thunder cast one, and finally the Red
one.
(If Ryu become a flame-ice-thunder dragon to fight this battle, he will not be
harmed.)

Boss: Myria
Party: The best you have
Strategy: Myria has 15000~20000 HP and has a lot of harmful spells, have all
three characters equip Protector, a helmet you can buy in the Faerie Village.
This will reduce the chance of status change. Also make sure that you have at
least one character
faster than Myria, Myria can dispel your assist spells so cast shield often.
When Myria starts
casting Holocaust turn Ryu into a Force dragon and uses Aura, you might also
want to use a Wisdom Fruit
on Ryu since Aura takes 20 AP each.

Note: The best fishing rod I found so far is found in steel grave, go down
stairs and have Momo blow the door away. Get in and you will see a chest,
inside you will find it.
The rod I purchased in Faerie Village is also good but it is too hard to
control when fishing.
And if you are in a clear game, go to the house where Bow is fishing. Bow will
give the best fishing
rod in the game if you obtain the level of "Master of angling + +." (I haven't
done it yet, but my friend got it.)

One thing I found out about Force Armor: If in a battle, and the enemy casts
Depress on you, instead of losing AP, you gain AP.

I also heard a rumor that if you do not talk to the forth women before you
fight Myria, Myria will not cast either Holocaust or Venom.

At last I should thank CAPCOM who made such wonderful game, and Sony for
making the kick ass PlayStation system. And Ma who encourage me to write
this.
