 Norton's Hideout
 Map Completion: N/A
 Items: Jewel of Refuge, Fresh Sage, Music Box Parts


Follow the path into the first open room. On your right is a chest containing a Jewel of Refuge. On your left is another with a Fresh Sage. Leave the room North and take a right at the fork.

A quick scene occurs in this room. Save your game at the save point. Examine the terminal at the upper left. If you followed the large graffiti numbers in the ruins you have the information you need to do this, if you didn't you can go back out and read them. If you simply wish to know the password and move on read below.

The password is '256.'

Save your game and return to the fork, take the Northwest path into the room. Watch the scene that occurs here.

Boss:

NortonLV: 190 HP: 1600 MP: 35,800 FOL: 7 EXP: 32
There are three Battle Trophies you can collect from this boss, defeat him within 30 seconds, defeat him with no damage and defeat him with only the Metal Pipe.

Boss Strategy:
With Cliff on your team Norton is a pushover, almost regardless of level with Cliff you probably won't even need to heal. Just avoid his gunfire as best you can and keep hitting him with your strongest attacks, Blade of Fury works great.
Defeat Norton within 30 seconds:

Use Blade of Fury over and over again, he doesn't have a particularly high amount of Hp so if you can keep the damage at a fast but steady pace this really isn't one of the harder ones to get, you can even spend a good portion of the battle knocked down from his attacks and still end up with him dead before the 30 seconds are up. Remember his big spiel as he's dying does not count towards the time.

Another even easier way to do it is to just switch to Cliff and keep tapping X, he hits very fast over and over again, you'll run out of fury quick, but just allow it to recover.


Defeat Norton without taking damage:

Very easy, remember it only applies to the character you are controlling so simply run to the bottom of the screen and let Cliff waste the guy. Cliff is strong enough to take on this battle by himself, however to do this you will likely need at least 2-3 Blueberries. If Norton gets too close simply run to the other end of the screen.


Defeat Norton using only Metal Pipe:

Cannot be done at this point in the game, do not try.


Another scene follows the battle. Return to the save point room and retrieve the Music Box Parts. Save your game, exit the hideout, watch a scene, exit the ruins and return to Whipple.
