I'm stuck and need some questions answered

[Hambone]

I got the DS version yesterday for Christmas and I'm fixing to go fight Hein...again. Here are some questions that I have about this and other features on the game.

1. What level should I be on right now?

2. Who should have which job right now in order to beat him the easiest?

3. which jobs should I be using at the very end of the game? I plan on having a knight, sage, dragoon, and black belt. I think I'm going too offensive.

4. Is getting onion knight worth it and is it really recommended?

5. What level should I be on at the end when I fight Cloud of Darkness?

6. I really don't want a summoner. Is it really a necessity?

7. How do you think Ingus should be? A mage or fighter. I see him more as a fighter.

I'll think of more questions later.

1. I was currently in my 18-20

2. It says scholar can find his weakness, so that would help you (I personally had a BM, monk, Knight, and White mage and BARELY survived it, i was so relieved, my last save was 3 hours prior.)

3. You had GOT to have a person with white magic, some late BM is good, a good defence, good attack doesnt hurt, its pretty mych up to you.

4. Ionno, not really going for it

5.Cloud of Darkness? Dont know, dont tell me!

6. Not at all though some of the summons are pretty nifty.

7. Well, he was a soilder, and i made him my warrior/knight. but at the time you get all 4, they all start out the same! Make him a bard :P

GOOD LUCK!

1. What level should I be on right now?

It's been awhile since I last played that part, but I don't think I was over level 20-22 at the most.

2. Who should have which job right now in order to beat him the easiest?

Well, the game leads you to use a Scholar, but a Geomancer is also perfectly effective (you can even get a lucky Shadowflare).

3. which jobs should I be using at the very end of the game? I plan on having a knight, sage, dragoon, and black belt. I think I'm going too offensive.

That party would work, although changing your Sage to a Devout would be recommended to maximize your recovery power.

4. Is getting onion knight worth it and is it really recommended?

It's worth it only if you're a completionist. If you want to really level them up to level 99, then they become the strongest class in the game, but this is only if you have to do everything.

5. What level should I be on at the end when I fight Cloud of Darkness?

With a good healer, anything in the 50s range is fine.

6. I really don't want a summoner. Is it really necessity?

Not at all. Although the effects of summons are helpful, you are much better off with a White Mage or Bard for your recovery and status effect needs. Offensive spellcasters are also not a necessity, and grow stale after awhile.

7. How do you think Ingus should be? A mage or fighter. I see him more as a fighter.

Logically, since he's a Sasune soldier, he would be a melee fighter of some sort, but any character can be any class proficiently.

Where would be the best place for me to train right now for the battle? I'm at level 18. (all characters)

[Zeromus_X]

I guess inside Hein's Castle would be the best. But you really shouldn't need to level up that much. Really, the Salamander is much tougher than Hein.

[NINJA_Ryu]

True, As with my previous Hein story, i could beat him (barely, laughed long and merrily when i did) at 18 withotu a scholar. The thing about Hein is, you cant save, so you had better stock up pretty well and save before you get to the city.

After Hein though, you start facin some intresting challenges, and if you stick with em, you can have some good levels under your belt pretty quickly.

[Hambone]

m'kay.

[NINJA_Ryu]

As this is becoming the stuck thread, I must ask

How do get past gold manor? Im stuck ><

[ljkkjlcm9]

I find it funny that right now, my knight has the least HP, then my monk, then my white mage... and my black mage has the most HP, and they've been these classes (knight was warrior) since the beginning. I haven't seen much affect at all of class on HP... is it just me?

Gold manor.... hmm trying to remember back to my ROM playing... Whenever I got stuck, I searched for hidden passages... so that's my suggestion!

THE JACKEL

[NINJA_Ryu]

Nope. i seem to have the same luck.

Hidden passage? gah! this is frustrating

[Hambone]

Return to Amur, stay at the inn to restore the party's h.p and m.p, then travel south to the desert. Go east through thr desert, then angle north toward the house located on the map. Welcome to Goldor Manor!

Okay, I beat Hein and guess who I'm stuck on now...Kraken. I know how to beat him, but leveling up is so boring!!!

[NINJA_Ryu]

Kraken was another one that I didnt have problems with, though one or two of myguys died i think

I dont know if I am using the most "cheap" or "easy" class set (WM,BM,M,W) but i had few of these problems. The largest ones i had were map wise, and finally getting past goldor manor!

[Zeromus_X]

Do you have a Ranger? You can make Kraken really hurt if you use a Ranger with Rapidshot and Lightning Arrows (this will also take care of most of the water-based enemies in the Water Shrine).
