Start by heading North. Examine the crystals on the ground. Miniboss:
After the battle you receive a Saint's Stone. Head North and watch the event. Head East into the next room. Fight another crystal statue here to receive a second Saint's Stone. Exit South and follow this path to the end, into a door leading East. This room will start to shake, position yourself in a corner to avoid the falling rocks. When it ends the West wall in this room will now have a crack in it. Use your Disintegration Hammer to break it open and enter. You'll find yourself in a workshop, examine the two chests on the left to receive Compounding Elixirs and another Saint's Stone. Now that you have the three Saint's Stones, examine the furnace in the workshop to automatically create the Saint's Amulet, and item required to have in your inventory to damage the boss. Head back to the earthquake room, then go into the West door and follow the path North to the large room. Go back West then South to where you battled the first crystal statue. On the East wall now thanks to the Earthquake a crack has appeared, use you hammer to go through it. Grab the two chests containing Synthesis Materials in both. Now return to where you fought the second crystal statue, the North wall is now housing a large crack, break through it and enter. Get the chests in here containing a whopping 5 items, Cooking Ingredients, Blackberries, Compounding Elixirs, Heavy Armor and Shabby Textbook. Leave the room and take the East exit from the large room. Follow the path to a save point and save your game. South of the save point is a wall you can break with Book of Prophecies 1 and Hammer Charm inside. Enter the North room to witness an event. Boss:
Boss Strategy: He's very similar to the crystal statues but a lot faster, and more powerful. He won't stay still that's for sure, if you're very lucky try to lure him into a corner and hold him there as long as you can, without his mobility he becomes much easier. Also note his elemental immunities so things like Blazing Sword for Fayt, or Ice Daggers for Nel are a no-no. Defeat Crystal Cerberus within 1 minute: Whew, this one is a real tax at your ability to hold him in one place. You're going to need your strongest cancel combos if you want to rack up the damage fast enough (Side Kick) over and over with Berserk on. No room for playing defensively in this battle, you need to hit him even faster than he can move. Defeat Crystal Cerberus without taking damage: Even without a time limit, your other party members may not be enough to take him on by themselves, not to mention he moves fast so be on your toes at all times. It may be time to put some of those Perfect Berries to use. Here's a great tip, say you've got about 5 Perfect Berries in your inventory. Use all of them without worry, once you have the Trophy save your game but load your file to beat him again normally, you'll still have the items but have the added bonus of having used them to get the Trophy. (Normally this would apply to your damage items as well, but again, his immunities.) Good luck. After the battle be sure to backtrack and save your game. Now from the boss room exit North, then East. From this room your destination lies North, West North, and North. Examine the large chest in the middle to trigger another Earthquake, then the two chests on the right to receive Blackberries and Cooking Ingredients, and the two on the left for Aquaberries and Blueberries. Use your hammer to break down the East wall and go through. Watch out for the hanging ceiling bits here, on the East side is a large chest containing an Orb of Foe Finding. Go back to the earthquake room with the large open chest. From here head South, then East. In this room the East wall now has a large crack, break it and go through. Don't open this chest or you'll just get a blast of fire in your face, keep going East. In this room head all the way North, then again, and once again. Now run to the West side of this room to find Blackberries in a chest, then East to find Alchemy Materials. Exit North, defeat the crystal statue and go North again. In this room examine the statue to split your party into four, four people of your choice will have to fight one on one battles for the reward of an Anti- Stone Amulet. Choose wisely. None of the enemies are too much harder than the others, but they do seem to get a bit harder so start with your weakest go to your best. The path East of the statue room will take you to the same destination, except without the item. Regardless enter the North door from that room. Go up to the upper right corner and get the chest containing Blackberries. Follow the path Southeast until you reach a door to exit to the South, go through it. Continue along the path to the East and take the East door. Go up and take a right at the fork, at the end of this path will be a chest containing Blueberries. Go back to the fork and head North, keep going North until you find a door leading East. Inside is a pedestal with a Red Gem, examine it and choose to touch it. Leave the room and go South, head West at the junction past the armor enemy to find a chest containing Cooking Ingredients. Head all the way to the furthest South part of this map and enter the door leading West. Along the hallway go into the first door you pass on the North wall. Watch out for the sliding blocks in this room, your destination is the Northwest corner, if you fail try again. The next room is the same basic thing, except has a chest. To reach the chest from the door go up, right down and left, it'll be right in front of you containing a hefty 54,000 Fol. Another chest lies all the way right, and up from this chest containing a Celestial Pixie. Your destination for this part is the Northern centre area. The next room has four chests containing Alchemy Materials, Smithery Materials, Compounding Elixirs and more Compounding Elixirs. Enter the North door and save your game. Approach the door, watch the scene and enter. Another scene occurs. Miniboss:
This fight can be a little difficult, they are stronger than normal soldiers and have the ability to petrify you. Equip the Anti-Stone Amulet you hopefully got and focus all your energy on one at a time so they don't overwhelm your entire party. Afterwards there's a quick scene. Now run ALL the way back to the Sealed Cavern, luckily all the enemies are gone so it's smooth sailing. At the entrance is a scene. |
