So... might switch ghosts here. Echoplasm/banshreek is nice in principal as a paraconfuser with astral buster as a good STAB move, an interesting ability, a 2 stage special attack boost and optionally shadow sphere, but... it just seems to die so damn fast, and it seems to be slow enough that it won't get more than 1 move off in a battle against anything that doesn't outright oneshot it, because even neutral moves will take out maybe 40 percent of its health. That, or I rolled a really bad one stat wise. lol For reference, since I'm stuck without a copter at the moment, I can't check DVs, but here are its current stats at level 45.
Strength: 94
Defense: 87
Speed: 62
Magic defense: 1113
Magic attack: 113
120 health
So basically, I might just use this thing as a boss killer. Not sure yet.

Meh, banshreek just seems way dumb squishy. Can I recommend mortrex. He's always been my og parastatus-murder machine and has pretty great all-around stats. Not to mention shadow/ghost is a pretty nice type combo. Not gross like ghost/sound.

Where is the 8th coin for the girl? I found all on the ground, including the one on with the powerplant generator, + the one in the tree.

I like it, personally. It can take a few hits, and hits fairly hard in return. Not sure about exact stats though, lol can't open the game right this minute.
Does anyone have any sort of general ballpark of what's considered good or bad as far as stats goes at certain levels? I've been trying to figure it out, but not much success so far considering you have to factor in DV values too.

The first is just a certain level, yeah. Can't remember which one though sorry.
Symphonid though you need to have it in your party and get a score of 80% or better on any of the rhythm games.

Any hint for the last coin that everyone seems to be struggling with? Blowjob as price.

Sooo I'm reading through this thread because I like to know things I've missed. Would you believe I thought the Peninsula Wilds were surrounded by water and didn't go down the path, just ran around the area near the entrance to the town for a while? I did not know the ice place existed until last night.

But anyways, I've just unlocked the desert, and before I go in, I need somewhere to grind for levels, because my current team is mostly in the mid-to-late twenties, with the exception of my very over-leveled bunny Usagi, who is level 45 or something rediculous like that, because I spam quickblade so much, or I did until I got Jumpblitz and started owning. But as has been said a bazillion times in the pages of the thread I've read through so far, you can't beat this game with one mon, and so I know I need to grind somewhere. The main annoyance is that the mana hotel is so far from the decent exits in the cases of Brightonberg and Mechamo, and I usually have to run back and forth a lot because I'm not wasting herbs when I need them in big battles.

So what I'm asking is: Where's the best place to grind, and what should I be leveling in preparation for the desert area, boss included? And to how high?

Uh, should the dive place in the cave be empty?
Assuming the cove is where one of the mythical things should be.
Thought there'd at least be something to do in the cave though.

Ouch, one manamon at 45 and the rest at less than 30? The Eternity Angel will eat you alive. Let alone some swarm bosses which will most likely out speed your team and wipe half of them out before ganging up on the rest.

  Meh, just grind somewhere a bit lower than your current creatures and fly back for heals. Diegger hills should still be fine, or maybe the Thunder Prary?

I found two chests east of the electricity but no coins. God damn it. Are there two trees outside with coins in them?

i know i'm asking a lot of help in thi area, but here it goes. i'm stuck in the area, ater you challenge the tamer who talks about how he runs the area for excersize, i beat him and i go right and up, to an area that has a large log in front and too walls on either side. am i going the right way, or what do i need to do. i went east and followed walls to get there, so i'm not quite sure. I'm not saying a want a full game guide, but i need help in this area.
in another amazing thing, i'm getting manamon the full version tomorrow, so thats always nice.
