Enter and attempt to go up but your path will be blocked. Following
a scene you will be taken to another entrance where you can use the
shop and refresher. After take the warp portal on the left to the top
for a scene. After the scene the outcome will depend. If you decided
to keep Zelos use the following, if you went for Kratos scroll down
to the three Asterisk marker:
The angel swordians have low Hp so go after them first. They will go down extremely fast. The boss will also die quickly however he like a couple other bosses has the annoying trait of being impervious to stagger. Meaning while being hit, even when not blocking he'll continue to go about his business batting you around like a rag doll. If it wasn't for the fact that his attacks are pathetically weak he might actually pose a challenge to you, however since that is not the case, waste him. Scroll to the three plus sign marker (+++) at this point. *** For those who chose Kratos, your enemy will be...
Zelos fights a lot like Kratos in past battles, probably because they use similar weapons and techs. He's fast and has some powerful combos, but you have good healers on your side and probably more powerful combos than he does, not to mention the ability to interrupt him with a unison attack. Not a lot of strategy here, just appropriate levelling with a hefty dose of skillful attack/blocking combination, and Zelos will be out of your way. +++ After the scene you will be teleported away. Save your game and head up. Ignore the left and right paths and continue straight. Use your Sorcerer's Ring to burn the branch that is in your way, and any others that follow. Go in the door. When you are in this large room move to the right and press A to jump across. After sliding down watch the scene and grab the chest containing a Diamond Shell. Now go up the stairs at the top and attempt to jump across for a second time. This time the path will slant and you can run across it. Head into the door on the right. Make your way South and follow the path to the first split, at which you should head right, burning the branches. Beyond them are three treasure chests with a Southern Cross, a Hanuman's Staff and an Ogre Ax. Go back and take the path up this time, following it all the way down and then up the stairs. On this floor go left and activate the terminal which will open the door right beside it. Now go back North and up the stairs. Follow this path to a large area that forks up and down, head down and get the box for a Heavenly Robe. Go up and stay in that direction, burning a branch until you find another chest containing Energy Tablets. Now backtrack a few steps and head to the right. Keep going right until you see a path down and then one going up. Take the path up to find two chests, and grab the Star Mail and EX Gem Lv4. Now return to the split and take the bottom path down and into the door. You are now high above the room with the slanting stone path. Open the chest at the bottom to get the Phoenix Cloak and run over beside the large rock. Use your Sorcerer's Ring to burn the branches holding it up and watch it fall. Leave the room again. Head all the way back through the next part and down the stairs. This time go through the door you opened with the panel and head South for a shortcut. Continue South until you find the save point again, save and go all the way North until you are back in the room with the huge boulder. Descend the stairs at the North and run up the slanted path. Now you will be able to jump onto the higher part of the path. Run to the back and examine the chest for a Star Guard, and proceed up the stairs and into the warp portal. You will find yourself in a large room, go down the stairs and watch a scene. Fight the easy battle and continue the scene. After that display of awesome badassedness, your party will now be one Regal short. At this point save your game and head South to find a shop terminal and a chest containing a Shaman Dress. On the opposite side to the North there is a lone chest with an EX Gem Lv3 in it. After this take the active portal near the save point. Descend this large spiral staircase. At the bottom there is another scene. When you have control again, go North. Run until you're at the corner at the top. Say we call this open area a room, then head right and not the next room, but the one after it has a treasure box hidden behind some debris on the lower left side. Open it for a Star Helm, then keep going down and save you game. Proceed down the only path you can which may be visually confusing but actually has no branches. At the end warp up using the teleport. There will be a scene here. You'll have to fight a couple of battles but nothing worthy of note. Now you're a bit lacking in the character department, but venture on nonetheless. Follow the path until the fork. If you want to save you can make the long trip down the Southeastern path, after go down the Southwestern path and keep heading in that direction until you bump into a treasure box. Open it to obtain a Star Shield. Now take the Northwest path and follow it to the warp portal, and go up.Go down the stairs and examine the door for a scene. Now again with one less character, continue. From the portal go Southeast once, Northeast, then Southeast again. At the bottom of this area is a treasure box containing a Star Circlet. Go Northeast and save your game. Now from the save point head Northeast again then Northwest. Follow this path until you get to a chest with an EX Gem Lv3. Go now to the top Northeast corner and you will find the warp portal, don't go in it yet. Follow the path down to the bottom and the a bit left to find a treasure box, open it to receive a Star Gauntlet. Now go back and into that warp portal. At the top proceed North and make your first left. Examine the chest to get an EX Gem Lv2 run to the right side on the opposite end and you'll find a Star Bracelet there. Now continue North. Watch the next scene. From this point go down to the Southeast until there is an unblocked path to the Northeast, and take it. Follow this around to the left and you'll find an EX Gem Lv4. Now return to the warp portal. Go up to the Northeast until you find an opening on your right, follow it down two rooms and you'll find a chest containing a Spirit Bottle. Now run to the Northwest corner of this map and save your game. (Random note, this exact save just put my game clock to 100:00... anyway) Go Southeast to the far right corner of this map and take the teleporter up. There's a fun little scene here, then you can save your game... again. When you're ready examine the sword sticking out of the wall. Run through the door for a sequence of events. Following these events is...
Go after the underlings first as usual, the battle will be much easier with them out of the way. Their Hp is low so you should make short work of them rather quickly. Pronyma's Prism and Bloody Lance attacks are her two most dangerous, luckily she doesn't cast them too often. She will cast them more often as her Hp depletes, but by the time she starts to do so, she'll be so close to death you won't notice much anyway. She doesn't block too often, and if you've come up with a good combo-to- unison strategy by now, you can put it to good use on her. More scenes after this fight. It's not quite over yet though...
Finally a battle against this guy where you actually have to win. That's a bit easier said than done though, he can put up quite a fight. That's not to say he's the hardest boss you've fought either, while he is consistent with his attacks, none of them in particular will be the party obliterating spells you may fear. He also doesn't block too much or have particularly high defense. If you're able to get in with a couple good fighters you can actually juggle him for quite a long time, that way you'll be doing good damage, and won't have to worry about dodging his magic at all. Following this battle is yet another scene. When it is over, leave the tower of Salvation and return to the world map. |
