So, I've been seeing this in this topic right here, and while it's not the end of the world, I would like to comment on it.

People have been asking for hints, tips, and strategies before they've been to an area. To me, this defeats half the purpose of playing this type of game, and takes some of the effort out that the developer put in. It's one thing if you've played, and tried, and can't find something, or are having trouble, but I wouldn't mind seeing people try before asking for help.

So I just finished the tower of Truth. And I chose to go for the prise thing at the end. Lots of experience points and coins was a grate surprise indeed. But let me say that it took exactly two hours to complete the boss battle in the Tower of Truth. I grately admire any of you who could finish that boss battle in less than two hours. That was no joke at all! And what I do folks, is I take the game in to small chunks. You can't play this thing all at once. After that boss battle in the Tower of Truth, I was done playing the game for the rest of the day. feeeeewwwww!!! Now I have to do the Tower of Regret and I understand that's going to be alot worse. But let me ask this. What about trophies? I keep seeing a category in the bag called trophies. How do you get some of them?

me too. can't seem to have enough health to beat the second form demon form of hers.

Me, I'm about to fight Pierre again but I seem to be missing a Galactic dust...again. Well not qite again since the last time I was actually missing two. But I know it isn't one of those from the non revisitable places, so it looks like i'll have to revisit every other save point in the game while I try to get all my part up into the seventies for te last battle, well except possibly Gabriel since I never use him for that fight.

Uh...I don't think he's immune to Toxic Ball, but I could be mistaken.

Regarding that Renzina demon fight, if you're not at level 100 and haven't spent a lot of coins on your characters, you're going to struggle. Also bear in mind that you should be strategic about it...get your active character below 100HP without it getting killed, and you can opt to switch it out. The most dangerous character to do this with is Kelly because her defense is so awful, but if you're careful you can still do it. The idea is to pelt her with scrolls till your character is at 100HP or lower (or one hit from dead), then switch out. You should be using Death Dimension with Kelly and Final Oblivion with Simon. Using Mass Slaughter with Cecil and Murder on Demand with Shauna wouldn't hurt either. Ross can stick to Destruction of the Heavens if you have trouble with Meteor Rush, and Gabriel can use whatever you're comfortable with. If you do this, you should be able to win.

Regarding Pierre, don't yank anyone from battle immediately. Even if Gabriel gets the call to use Aura Master, probably the weakest overall damage you can do to Pierre, that's still one round of small damage and one round on which your other characters are not being hurt.

As far as galactic dusts go, Bryan, did you do the second floor of Tower of Fear? If not, go do that, then revisit all the save points.

Regarding the Protector, I'm quite sure I'm right. The item in question is hidden though, so start mashing Enter when you hit the top wall and move from one side to the other. You'll find it.
To be clear, I'm talking about the area where they said there was a cave-in.

Regarding Final Shot: get your level up. Higher level means more HP and higher defense, which translates to more rounds to screw up. Don't worry, you'll figure it out.

Interesting. He was immune for that fight for me. I found out on accident, but it makes for a handy person to have around just in case.

I finished it! I finished it! I finished it!

First let me say: I did not get the all treasures ending, nor did I collect all the galactic dusts. This will require another playthrough. I have a few questions, though. This post contains major end of game spoilers, so stop reading now if you haven't finished the game!

I got the big long end scene, then the credits. Then, apparently, all the flaming bits and pieces of the Paladin decided to stop flaming, and put themselves back together in the right order. Also, Simon's escape pod un-exploded. The reason I say all this is, I found myself back in my cabin. So, is there anything else to do, given that I didn't collect all treasures, nor all the dusts?

And now, a suggestion or opinion. I think it would be nice if those of us with wins under our belts could have access to some sort of cheat code or option, where we could skip dull, repetitive parts of the game. For example, while the second floor of the Tower of Fear was such an area, the rewards are well worth the trouble. However, I cannot personally say the same for the Infinite Matrix. I don't ever want to play that thing again! And yet, I know I'll have to if I want an alternate ending. This is my opinion.

Jaybird I think that's so you can collect any treasures and dusts you missed and access the alternate ending and postgame content. I'm going to have to do that myself since there's one treasure and one dust that I'm missing. But while I know right where the missing treasure is the dust is another matter.

ah, crumbs! I keep losing my place and forgetting where some major landmarks are.
Anyway I found a solution of sorts to my issue with the hell on earth level (more on that a little later).
Spoiler space

I had to go back to the Organ room, which is located through the church and up into the undisturbed sanctuary, get Gabriel to play the organ, which teleported me to the Planet exopolis, then make my way to the analytic restaurant and fight the guy at the top of the map. He then teleported me back home again.  Then I was able to go back to the paladin ruins and fight the second protector, the one who increases her stats every time you hit her.  She was the person who previously kept asking me to leave because she had nothing against me.
Now If only there was a map feature where you could go over major places you have already been to, and get their approximate location on the map, IE, disturbed sanctuary, south east in the paladin ruins.
I can't for the life of me remember where the hell on earth level is.
can anyone help?
Thanks.

Hello folks. I admire so many of you who can get passed Stella. With that stupid Random final shot, I can't seem to make it. Do you all have any suggestions? Because I really need help.

@Jayde Regarding my post from a few days ago, I was just wondering where the employee card was.
Spoiler regarding treasures and dust
Where is the unknown pendant and cell phone? As far as I know after those I will have all treasures since I currently have 21.  I also have 33 dusts so hopefully won't have a problem getting the rest.  I am currently in the halfling destruction movement HQ fighting the assassins for key fragments.  Everyone is at level 100 accept for gabriel/simon but they are getting there.  Speaking of levels, if someone is at 100, does anyone know if the experience they get from there on if they are in the lead still goes to them and does nothing or gets distributed to everyone accept for them?  Hope that question makes sense.

So I take it that the highest level your characters can go is 100. Am I right?
