Walkthrough
  1. 1
    In Limboo, head forward for a scene. Proceed to the Cells area.
  2. 2
    In the Cells, find items:
  3. 3
    Southeastern cell: Break pots for a Rockbomb Shard.
  4. 4
    North-central cell: Break pots for a Special Medicine.
  5. 5
    Northeastern cell: Save your game at the church-like area.
  6. 6
    Southwestern cell: Enter to continue the story.
  7. 7
    After a scene where Jade volunteers to take a prisoner's place, an NPC will give you 3 Special Medicines, a Magic Water, and a Rockbomb Shard. Place these in Jade's inventory.
  8. 8
    Speak to the knight monster guarding the exit to begin the gauntlet of fights.
  9. 9
    Fight 1 - Boodiful Hoodlums: Three physical attackers. Use Party Pooper if you have it for multi-target damage. The Hare-Raising Suit revives you if you lose, but winning grants experience.
  10. 10
    Fight 2 - Boodiful Wizard, Boodiful Hocus-Poker: Two magic users. The Hocus-Poker uses Boom and Anathematise (reduces magic resistance). Wizards use Frizzle (60+ damage), Decelerate, and Kasap. Concentrate on the Wizards first.
  11. 11
    Fight 3 - Boodiful Sootbonce, Boodiful Smogbonnet: Six enemies. Smogbonnets can poison Jade. Their physical attacks add up. Avoid them getting pepped up to prevent the Just Claws maneuver. Eliminate one set of enemies quickly.
  12. 12
    After the third fight, a scene will play, leading to the boss battle against Boodica.
  13. 13
    BOSS - Boodica:
  14. 14
    Boodica is joined by her Right-Hand Man and Left-Hand Man (approx. 350 HP each). They use Acceleratle, Kasap, Kabuff, and Boom. Defeat them quickly using Multithrust.
  15. 15
    Boodica has around 1600 HP and can act twice per turn.
  16. 16
    She can pep up for stat/damage increases.
  17. 17
    Her flex can mesmerize characters or buff enemies.
  18. 18
    Attacks include a strong multi-hit fist attack and a boulder toss (100+ damage to the group).
  19. 19
    Allies like Sinderella can use Midheal and Oomph.
  20. 20
    After defeating Boodica, watch the concluding events of Jade's interlude.
Tips
  • The Hare-Raising Suit automatically revives you if you lose a fight in the gauntlet, but winning is recommended for experience.
  • If you have learned Party Pooper, it is effective against groups of enemies.
  • In Fight 2, prioritize eliminating the Wizards before the Hocus-Poker.
  • In Fight 3, be mindful of the poison status and try to quickly defeat the enemies before they can use powerful combined attacks.
  • For the Boodica boss fight, focus on taking out her support minions first.
  • Utilize your allies' healing and buffing abilities, such as Sinderella's Midheal and Oomph.
