10.) Unison Attack (xxuaxx)
==============

A unison attack is when the four members of your party lets loose with a tech
each without TP consumption.  Unison Attacks don't become available until
after the first trip through the Ossa Trail, after beating Sheena for the
first time.

How to activate a Unison Attack?  You'll notice a bar like thing above your
characters pictures.  It fills up when you get in multiple hits on enemies,
and once it reaches red, press Z to activate it, and let loose with any one
of the four techs that's assigned to that control.

Control?  Well, open the main menu, and go to the U. Attack section.  You'll
notice a slot for a tech in an Up slot, Down slot, A, B, X, or Y slot, and
a Left/Right slot.  Put any tech that's not grey shaded in it, and once the
time comes, hold the direction of the control stick in that direction, and
push whatever button the character is designed too.

You can also perform Combo Unison attacks.  What that is, is that if you use
two certain techs with two certain characters, they sometimes match up and
you'll be able to combine those two techs together for one final attack.

The best time to use a Unison Attack is when you're about finished with a huge
combo, so you can add more damage on to it.  Another good time is if your
opponent is casting a strong spell, if you push Z and the U. Attack buttons
come up, you'll itnerrupt the spell and it won't happen.

11.) Bosses   (xxbosxx)
==============

This section will list the bosses in the game.


0000000000000000000
0 Vidarr          0
0 HP: 4000        0
0 TP: 30          0
0000000000000000000

After you kill them, you'll be fighting your first boss.  It doesn't matter
if you're at full health.  You'll be on your knees soon, but then someone
steps in infront of you.  After a bit of talking, you'll be fighting the boss
again, but this time, you have your new partner.  He heals you and your other
party members and himself if anyone gets hurt.  That doesn't mean you can't
lose, though.  The best tactic here is to attack and guard.  Use your techs on
him if you have to.  He should fall pretty soon.

-----

0 Exbelua         0
0 HP: 5000        0

0000000000000000000

It's only Lloyd and Genis for this fight, so be prepared for a fight.  Before
you start, go to the Strat option and make it so that Genis's magic option is
on Moderate.  That'll slow down the TP loss for a bit.  The best technique for
this fight is run in, and take a few swipes (or use a tech) and then run back.
Or you can run it, attack, and guard.  Either way works.  Just make sure to
have a few Apple Gels on hand, since when Genis runs out of TP, he'll run in
to smack it.  It'll take a few minutes, but it'll be dead soon enough.

0 Botta           0

Once the battle begins, you can either take out the two guards that are with
him, or take on the big man himself.  I took out the guards first, since they
gave me somewhat trouble.  But it's your choice.  Anyways, Botta has short
range attacks, which will hurt Lloyd a lot.  Kratos still has First Aid
though, so that should help you out.  Becareful for when he goes into
Overlimit.  He WILL hurt you.  A lot.  All in all, just attack when Kratos
does, and run back when he does, and guard against the rocks that somehow
come flying out of the ground from Botta, and you should win this fight.

The boss here is Ktugach, and he has two little buddies with him, named
Ktugachling.  A lot of people say that you need Genis in this fight to win,
but I didn't use him, and I fared really well.  Once the battle begins, it's
wise to take out the two Ktugachlings, since they'll cause some problems
for you.  They only have 1500 Hit Points a pop, so take them out.  After the
two minions are gone, you [I'm assuming you're controlling Lloyd] and Kratos
should attack the big monster, while Raine heals you.  If you have Sword Rain,
Do a normal three hit combo with Lloyd, and then perform a Sword Rain right
after the third hit to get a good 9, 10 hit combo in with Lloyd alone.  If
needed, use Apple and Orange Gels to heal HP and TP.  He should die in a bit.

I love this battle music.  I really do.  Anyways, Sheena comes along with a
WindGuardian, which makes this battle somewhat tough.  When you get rid of it,
Sheena will be a breeze to beat.  Concentrate on the WindGuardian, but keep
an eye on your partner's Hit Points.  Use Gels when needed, and guard when
needed.  Once the WindGuardian is dead, help your partners with Sheena, if she
isn't gone already.  She likes to guard, so jump behind her, and hit her from
the back to do a Guard Break.  Just keep wailing on her, and Raine will be
healing (if you kept her in your party, if not, use Gels), and she'll be gone
soon.

0000000000000000000

First things first, take care of the company Magnius has with him before
attacking Magnius, but make sure to try your best to avoid Magnius's attacks.
Magnius isn't terribly hard.  But if you don't pay attention to your health,
you can find yourself dead in no time, so keep an eye on your health,
especially Raine's [if you're using her.]  Magnius likes to guard a lot, so
jump behind him to do perform a Guard Break attack, and wail away on him.
A good combo to use is a normal three hit combo, followed by a Tiger Blade (if
you have it), which is 5 hits right there, followed by a Sword Rain attack
which should total up for about a 13, 14 hit combo from Lloyd alone.  Just be
sure to heal when needed, and he should be dead in no time.

0 TP: 400         0
0000000000000000000

The only dangerous thing about Kilia is her Dark Sphere spell, which is like
Raine's Photon spell, except Kilias is a dark elemental one.  Dark Sphere will
add up damage quickly, but she casts it when she's getting low on HP, so try
to keep your HP up before she starts casting.  Just use your normal combos,
and heal when needed, and she'll go down with ease.

0 HP: 2300        0
0 TP: 120         0
0000000000000000000

Be prepared for a fight, because this isn't going to be a cake walk like the
other few boss fights.  If you want any chance of survival, take out the
Amphirtra's first, which will be her little two minions.  You should have
either Kratos or Genis in.  Let whoever you have in go crazy with Lightning
while you should do the normal three hit attack, Tiger Blade, and Sword Rain
combo to get some damage in.  Make sure to block when needed, and keep an eye
on everybody's HP, and mostly, TP.  Hopefully nobody will die in this fight.
But if someone does, use a Life Bottle, then immediately use an Apple Gel when
you can use items again.  After some time, she should fall.

0000000000000000000

This boss fight isn't terribly hard, but you need to pay attention to see
when he starts to spin around, since that's an attack that can add damage
up quickly.  So get ready to block it when needed.  Other than that, if you're
using Genis, make sure to disable his Wind spells.  Do the normal 3 attack/
Tiger Blade/Sword Rain combo with Lloyd, and have the other characters do
what they do best.  Nobody should die in this fight, so just block when needed
and you should be fine.
