Ossa Trail
|
||||||||
|
Enter the Ossa Trail, and almost immediately an event occurs. Choose the
top option and be on your way. Follow the path to the next screen and
around, going left at the fork to pick up a Battle Staff (equip for Raine.)
Continue down the path. Go down the first chance you get and save
your game at the save point and pick up the Apple Gel and Melange
Gel. Follow the path right.
Grab the Orange Gel on your way down. When you reach the bottom watch a quick scene.
Take out the guardian first, as it is the more dangerous of the two. No special weaknesses here, just a good combination of strategic blocking and offensive attacking is what you need. Keep an eye on your Hp totals, but if you have both Raine and Kratos, that should easily hold your weight when it comes to healing. Once one is dead, the other is a breeze. Now head inside where the assassin came from. Go right at the 3 way split, then down and get the Black Silver. Go back and head left this time, then up and get the Fine Guard (equip for Colette.) Now head down the path to the right, and go up at the next intersection. Grab the Beast Fang and EX Gem Lv1. Now it's time to make a choice. The Sword Dancer is a very challenging optional boss, you may want to wait if this is your first time through the game, if not, or if you have a lot of guts, get ready! If you are not fighting him, scroll down to the three asterisk marker (***). If you are fighting, talk to it and choose the top option to begin the battle!
This guy is hard, but has a weakness. I BARELY beat him at level 14, but keep in mind that is with the Hp bonus purchased after beating the game. I'd recommend at least level 18 if you want to beat him right now. Make sure to have lots of items on hand. He has lots of Hp and his attacks can kill you in one hit but the catch is... they're super simple to block! Start the battle by running up to him and attacking. Be sure to use any kind of 3 attack-tech attack combo you have. Tiger Slash works good. Once you've done it hold block IMMEDIATELY. He will always counter attack. This shouldn't deal too much more than 200-300 damage if blocked, which Raine and Kratos can heal back. Make sure Genis is always casting spells, especially mid level spells if you have them, and use those times when the Sword Dancer is being hit as windows of attack. Remember to keep blocking blocking blocking. It'll take awhile, but if you're a good level, and you have lots of Tp healing items, he will go down. For defeating him you get the Yata Mirror. *** Anyway, regardless of whether you fought the boss or not, leave the cave, and go down to exit the Ossa Trail. As you do you will get a quick guide and Unison Attacks will become available. These can be activated in battle by pressing Z when the meter is charged. Save your game (especially if you defeated the Sword Dancer) and head Southeast to Izoold. | ||||||||
