Okay then. It’s about time we finish our business here.



There’s no need to handicap the team anymore since the next boss doesn’t have notable skills for Satori to learn. Besides, I don’t think Satori with Mad Thunder could deal significant damage to the boss.

I’m still using my ideal party of 1 tank, 2 supports, and 2 attackers (1 physical attacker, 1 magic attacker). I use Patchouli since she can manipulate Land meter.



Is this really the last boss? We’ll find out.

This boss fight uses the second boss theme. Which means this boss is very difficult and it will take all we have to win.

Tenshi has 25000 HP, 220 PDef, 100 MDef, 25 Divine Barrier, immune to earth, resists light and strike and is weak to thunder, dark, and slash. Her HP and defenses is high enough to outlast our party. Without liberal use of buff and debuff, we’ll run out of MP before she’ll run out of HP.



On the very first turn, she’ll always use her strongest attack: Magnum Stone Shower twice without any warning. One cast of it is enough to kill anyone in one hit. Two is just complete overkill.



Game really loves to screw over first time player/ someone who doesn’t read a guide walkthrough.









So, have everyone equipped with at least 50% earth resistance.







I’ll use earth elemental drain for good measure.



After surviving her initial salvo, she’ll use earth and slash attack against our party. Although in my experience, she prefer using slash based attack than her earth elemental magic. She also has a low chance of using Magnum Stone Shower again. We could endure that attack with MDef buff and Alice’s shield skill.

Unlike the previous boss, Tenshi is a straight forward boss fight who attempt to beat our party with her physical might rather than using trickery or nasty status effect like the previous fight. This makes her easier to defeat.

Just don’t use Field skill though. She’ll overwrite any Field skill with her own Field skill that gives her massive HP regeneration that’s impossible to outdamage.



Patchouli has skills that interact with the Land meter. So we’ll have her increase thunder Land Power to weaken her earth elemental attack and empower our thunder based attack.



And then have Byakuren buff Patchouli’s MAtk, Sakuya’s PAtk and imbue her weapon with thunder (I later realize it’s not necessary though since Tenshi’s already weak to slash). After that, bombard her with thunder until she’s dead.







Really? That’s your ultimate attack? You need to do better than this!



Byakuren with Inf buff is near guaranteed to land her debuff. And her debuff are nasty.





My main damage dealer can now deals even more damage to her now that both her PDef and MDef are debuffed to oblivion.





And that’s it. She’s dead now.

We got the recipes for fifth tier unique weapons and armors.



Fifth tier equipments requires Star Fragment to craft. The yellow material can be found in the next stage.



Typeless damage? Magic Damage Cancel? How does that work?



The medium elemental armors are pretty good and relatively easy to craft.







That pipe looks familiar.

This game doesn’t reuse environment asset that much. Forest of Magic 1 and 2 have different appearances and stage gimmicks.



Yes. That is Super Mario-esque warp pipe. Entering it will also plays the familiar sound effect for entering the pipe.

It’s Kedama again. Green Kedama has 1400 HP and no resistances or weaknesses. It’s the second weakest enemy in this stage. Just be careful of its self-destruct when it’s low on HP.

It has 5% chance to drop Star Fragment.



I guess we’re no longer fighting fairies anymore. Alseid has 1800 HP, and weak to dark. Mid-high tier mages have AoE elemental magic. Hope that we’re lucky enough to not get struck with AoE spells.



The warrior enemies are called Oread. They all have 2000 HP and weak to dark. They have mid-level weapon skills. Sword and spear wielding Oread have AoE attacks, and axe wielding Oread hits very hard. Buff PDef and beat them down.

All Oreads have 4% chance to drop Star Fragment.



Harpies, eh? That’s a typical fantasy enemy. Harpyia has 1750 HP, 70 Eva, immune to earth, and weak to thunder and stab. By this point, you should already know how bird type enemies behave: Swoop that can inflict Daze to cancel someone’s turn. Her melee attack can inflict Silence, something we should watch out for as thunder spell remains the best way to kill pesky birds.

She has 4% chance to drop Star Fragment.



That enemy reminded me of alien from the game Contra. Punoton has 1100 HP, resists dark and weak to light. It is the weakest enemy in the stage. But hey, free EXP and potential Star Fragment drop (at 4% chance).



I hate that skeleton enemy. Spartoi has 2400 HP, immune to light and dark, resists slash and stab, and is only weak to earth. Its skill with sword is better than Oread. It has more PAtk and its skill includes Sonic Blade (quick casting attack), Meteor Shower (All-targeting AoE), and Extended Slash Barrage (Multihit attack skill). When I see a skeleton enemy, I immediately think that it’s weak to light or fire. Not that enemy. It’s so hard to kill.



I also hate that plant woman. She’s so annoying. Dryad has 2100 HP, near immunity to earth, resists water, thunder, slash, and stab, and is only weak to fire. She’s an annoying support enemy with skillset made for debilitating the party. She has Thorn Bind (AoE Paralysis infliction), and Enervation (PAtk & MAtk debuff). Res buff is almost required when fighting her. Prioritize killing her first before she can disable the party.

We can’t explore this part of the underground yet. I’m guessing this is the shortcut.



It took me embarrassingly long time to obtain this treasure. I’m supposed to approach this closed of land from the south. I thought the land is blocked off from all sides.





This stage is so labyrinthine. The denseness of the forest, the multiple branching paths, and the warp pipes makes it easy for me to get lost while exploring it.



Another new shield for the CD sets.





Let’s explore the underground shall we.







By pressing this button, it unlocks 2 iron gates in the underground segment.



But entering one of the gate will cause to both the gates to be closed off again. So we need to find a way to reach the treasure without entering the gate that’s behind me.

There’s enemies exclusive to the underground section.

The Antlion Larva (giant insect in a quicksand) has 2600 HP, resists fire and earth, and weak to water. Its Quicksand is just like the HDD Crash from the Hard disk enemy. It’s an all-targeting attack that can inflict Erase to outright remove a character from a fight. Always have Sanae in the party at all times, her Res buff is far too valuable.

The scorpion is called Deathbringer. That’s a surprisingly badass name for a scorpion. It has 1500 HP, resists fire, earth, slash, stab, and is weak to fire. It’s tougher than the Antlion despite it being smaller. Its normal attack can inflict Severe Poison which can potentially kill anyone in one turn. Really dangerous stuff and why Res buff is super important.



poo poo! Another dragon type enemy. Elder Basilisk has 3600 HP, resists fire, water, earth, thunder, dark and is only weak to light. You know the mythical creature basilisk, right? It has PET Breath and DTH Breath. Petrify and Death are very dangerous status effect as it can instantly put you in death state. Again, have Sanae’s Res buff to prevent party wipe.

It has 20% chance to drop Star Fragment, the highest for drop the yellow material out of all enemies in the stage.

Where am I?





So many paths. I don’t know where to go from here. I have like 10-15 minutes playtime of me just running around blindly not knowing where to go.



A silver chest. Gotta take note of this area.





Gah! An ambush! You dirty random encounter mushroom!

That’s a lot of annoying enemies. I need to burn lot of MP and Bomb stock to burst down the Dryad and Spartoi.



poo poo! I’m not prepared to face down angel miniboss. Kaleido Virtue has 3800 HP, 25 Divine Barrier, resists fire, water, earth, thunder, nearly immune to light, and is weak to dark. She can move twice in a row. Now that I got her info, I’m fleeing from this battle.

There’s warp pipe in the middle of this area.



Can’t explore that place yet.



Almost missed the treasure. Gotta keep my eyes peeled for semi-hidden treasures.





Great. I’m back at the warp pipe where the yellow button is located.



It’s decent staff that boost water damage, and water resistance. But I have better staff from the Mindflayer on previous stage.



Press the button again and find the warp pipe that leads to the treasure.



I didn’t see this hidden treasure until the moment I took screenshots for making this update. And then, I booted up the game again and find Adamantite Shard inside the treasure.





This is a new area I haven’t explored.



The treasure contain a sword with +40 MDef. I have a sword with +40 Res and I think Res is more important at this point.







Okay. Gotta find a way to get at this unlocked gate.







After running around blindly again, it turns out that it’s actually located on the second warp pipe where we see the first yellow button.



This area marks the second half of the stage judging by the new enemy encountered.

Interacting with this lever will open up the closed off iron door and also close the previously opened door. The iron door to the left only leads to a dead end. No need to keep it opened.



Aha! I see you hidden treasure. This large armor adds stab resistance to its wearer.





Seeing the clear blue lake makes me wanna take a swim.

A spear with Deity (Angel & Demon) and Elemental slayer? Cool. No one in my party uses spear though as my party member are comfortable fighting with their unique weapon.





I recognize this area. We’re back at the previous underground area.

That’s a BAAAAD enemy formation. It’s not worth it trying to fight them.






Nice. Our first guaranteed Star Fragment. I used it to craft Sakuya’s fifth tier greatsword. I always upgrade her weapon since she’s my primary damage dealer.



This accessory is even better. It provides resistance to all element but mystic + Permanent status effect resistance. It’s really good.





Got the Silver Key. Now I gotta find the shortcut back to the beginning of the stage.



Back at the previous underground area, we’ll take the rightmost path and enter the warp pipe.



The pipe leads to the first area of the stage. With this, we secured the shortcut.



A small armor with resistance toward sleep, paralysis, and petrify. The mage that equip this armor won’t be disabled by those status effect.



Back at the previous underground area, we now take the center path.



Knife with HP Drain. It’s decent I guess.







From here, it’s just a straightforward path to the exit.

Oh hey, the second Star Fragment.





Now ruuuuuun!!!

Run! Evade the enemy encounter and just go straight to the exit.



Axe sucks!

Officer Daemon. 4200 HP, near immunity to dark, resists fire, water, earth, thunder, and all physical type and weak to light only. Now gently caress off!



Whoa! That’s a huge tree! Ent has 4900 HP, near immunity to earth, resists water, thunder, slash, stab, and is only weak to fire. It has the same resistance and weakness as the Dryad. It’s really durable and can hits really hard, especially as it can use Headfist Charge without needing to charge the skill. Fortunately, it only appears in the last segment of the stage.

Finally. A safe area.



The Orichalcum Shard is right there in the open.





Whew… This stage is rough. Hopefully, I can fend off the boss without much trouble.
