Tips
  • The Falchion is a powerful sword available in Maranda.
  • Crystal equipment is highly recommended; grind for it in the overworld.
  • The Storm Dragon can be soloed later with wind-proof relics and Bushido abilities.
  • When fighting the Storm Dragon, consider using Golem, Zona Seeker, and Fenrir for protection.
  • Focus on healing with Cura and lowering the Storm Dragon's MP with Osmose or Rasp.
  • Use party boosters like Protect and Haste.
  • Once its MP is depleted, focus on healing and support while others use Thundara.
  • Edgar's Flash Tool can inflict Darkness, which is helpful.
  • The shields found in Mt. Zozo (Ice Shield, Thunder Shield, Aegis Shield) are useful against elemental monsters.
  • Cyan
  • Cyan's Books (Machinery for Dunces, A Pictorial Guide to Machines, Everything About Machines, Machines for the Mechanically Disinclined, Bushido in the Bedroom)
