Skies Of Arcadia: Legends - Strategy Guide (Page 10)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Skies Of Arcadia: Legends - Strategy Guide (Page 10).

-----

===================
YELIGAR
HP: 90,000
Drops: Captain's Stripe, Thunder Cutlass
===================

-This guy is extremely weak, but for most of the battle, you'll be too far
away to use your cannons, so stick with Torpedos.  Cast Increm on the first
turn.  Yeligar has two attacks; Photon Charge and Voltigar.  Photon Charge
only hits for about 1,000, if that much.  Voltigar will hits for about 1,500
or a little more.  Either way, his attacks are weak, but since you'll be far
away from the Gigas most of the time, your cannons won't hit.  Stick with
Torpedos and when you get the chance, use the Moonstone Cannon.  His HP is
high, so you may have to heal once due to the length of the battle, but he'll
fall in a matter of time.

-----

===================
THE CHAMELEON
HP: 25,000
Drops: Captain's Stripe, Twin Turbo, Magic Shell
===================

-The Chameleon hasn't changed much, but you'll just miss more since visibility
is poor.  Once you deal enough damage, De Loco will hook onto you, starting
another battle.  He isn't much stronger at all, so pelt him with your Torpedos
and Cannons until he falls.

-----

===================
BALTOR
HP: 13,000
Drops: Spherical Figure, Hybrix Wax, Timing Valve
===================

-Extremely easy battle.  His cannons do very little damage, and his HP is low,
so you should be able to waste him in a couple of turns, if not the first
turn.

-----

===================
THE HYDRA
HP: 100,000
DROPS: Captain's Stripe, Moon Cannon, Moon Torpedo
===================

-This fight is going to take awhile.  Cast Increm, or if you have the spare
SP, Incremus to do more damage and start going all out with your cannons and
Torpedos.  Fire your Moonstone Cannon once you get the chance.  The Hydra's
Cannons can hit you for some good damage, and after it's taken some damage,
it will reveal it's own little weapon.  Whatever you do, choose to attack the
top of the ship when you get the chance to choose.  Make sure to heal when
your HP is getting low.  Use Complete Kits to conserve SP, and hit him hard
with your strongest Cannons and Torpedos and you'll eventually come out
victorius.

-----

==============
GADIANOS
HP: 13,000
Drops: Complete Kit, Moon Gun, Sparkling Deck
==============

-Its attacks do around 4,000 damage, but since it has such low HP, and your
new cannons are powerful, you should be able to take it down in the first
round.  If not, take it out the next round.

-----

===================
ZELOS
HP: 130,000
Drops: Captain's Stripe
===================

-Your first priority here is to cast Sylenis on Zelos to prevent any spell
casting.  Then cast Increm on yourself and smack him around with your
cannons.  Your cannons should be doing 10,000 or more damage now, or at least
close to it.  After a few rounds, Zelos will just sit there and won't attack.
Now is your chance to hit it hard.  Use a combo of Torpedos, Moon Gun, and
Moonstone Cannon to deal heavy damage do it.  Zelos will then come out of
its shell and grow claws.  If you did enough damage, one of the claws will
fall off.  You have an important choice; either close in and finish it off,
or stay back and play it safe.  It would be best if you stayed back to weaken
it a little more.  Cast Sylenis on this turn again and recast Increm, and
heal.  Zelos has an attack called Judgement which will do 20,000 damage or so,
so have someone ready to use a Complete Kit.  Just hit it hard, and use your
Moonstone Cannon whenever you get the chance and Zelos will fall apart.






===================
17.) The Four Monsters     (xsec17x)
===================

--------------O---------O
OBISPO        |  (moA)  |
--------------O---------O

-You can find Obispo around the Squid's Nest Discovery.  Once you engage into
battle, it's quite easy.  The only way his attacks can hit you are if you get
behind him, so if possible, stay to the side and pelt him with all your
cannons and torpedos.  His attack does moderate damage, and his HP is high,
but as long as you hit him hard, he'll fall after a few rounds.


--------------O---------O
ALANIA        |  (moB)  |
--------------O---------O

-You can find Alania in the Lands of Ice.  Alania is easier to defeat than
Obispo, since it has lower HP and is weaker, but the one thing that will get
you is the high evasion rate Alania has, so Torpedos are your best friend in
this fight.  Stay behind it and use your Moonstone Cannon to finish it off.


--------------O---------O
ROC           |  (moC)  |
--------------O---------O

-You can find Roc in the Uppersky around the Ixa'Taka Region and North Ocean.
Roc is stronger than the other three monsters, but his HP is low, so it should
only take a few rounds to dispatch of him, but don't rule out of the
possibility of healing.


--------------O---------O
GIANT LOOPER  |  (moD)  |
--------------O---------O

-You can find the Giant Looper around the Looper Nest Discovery.  There's a
trick into beating the Giant Looper.  Don't go all out on him right away, or
else he'll run.  Attack him lightly the first couple of turns until you can
use the Moonstone Cannon.  Switch Rings will cause your attacks to miss, so
you'll need to be patient.  Once you get the chance to use the Moonstone
Cannon to severly weaken him, and finish him off on a critical turn or else
he'll run.

find.
