Complete walkthrough for Part 18 of Star Ocean: Till the End of Time, covering the Ruins of Coffir, Norton's Hideout, and Pesotto Forest, including boss strategies and item locations.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Ruins of Coffir: Collect various items including Blueberries, Aquaberries, Cooking Ingredients, Blackberries, 200 Fol, Ripe Berries (Artifact), and Fresh Sage. You will also find the unique item Beat-Up Textbook (Makafy) in the Lost & Found. The enemies here include Thieving Scumbag, Young Shrieker, Shrieker, and Skeleton Warrior. The bosses are Buster, Makafy, and Tepeki.
  2. 2
    Norton's Hideout: Collect Jewel of Refuge, Fresh Sage, and Music Box Parts (Unique, Temp). You will also find PC items like Cliff Lv2 and default items like Mighty Gauntlets (Unique) and Ring Mail. The boss is Norton. This is your only chance to fight a Skeleton Warrior.
  3. 3
    Jewel Effects: There are three jewels that can be used on the field: Refuge (Stop enemies), Alertness (Display enemies on the map), and Avarice (Display chests on the map).
  4. 4
    Norton's Office: Find Norton's office and examine the computer terminal. Input the password '256'. If incorrect three times, you will be teleported outside.
  5. 5
    Prison Cells: In the prison cells, Fayt and Cliff will face a boss with 1600 HP and 35800 MP. The time limit Battle Trophy requires a kill in 30 seconds. You will obtain a Decrepit Tome (Artifact).
  6. 6
    Decrepit Tome: This artifact teaches three spells: Healing, Antidote, and Silence. To cast them in battle, you need to set Common Support Symbols (2 CP) as a support skill.
  7. 7
    Village Chief's House: Talk to the chief to obtain the Medecentra Pyroxene, an accessory with the factor Battle Skill HP use -30%.
  8. 8
    Exiting Pesotto Forest: After exiting the village, approach the cliffs west of the escape pod.
  9. 9
    The Cutter 'Eagle': Talk to Mirage twice and Cliff once, then exit the ship.
Tips
  • The inventory item that increases movement speed in battle by 5% does not stack and does not affect attack speed. It can be sold for 9000 fol.
  • Try to activate Triple Exp before the boss fight by filling the Bonus Gauge with a Confirm attack.
  • Young Shriekers have a 34% critical hit rate, so your Bonus Gauge may not last long.
  • Avoid using Blade of Fury or Aerial as they consume HP, which is difficult to recover at this stage.
  • The 500 Battles Alone and Chain of 500 Battle Trophies are best combined and completed on Disc 2 when enemies can be killed in one hit.
  • The bosses Buster, Makafy, and Tepeki may run away when below 20% health. Reset if any escape to avoid losing kills for enemy type Battle Trophies.
  • The Beat-Up Textbook allows you to emit the Standard counter aura when blocking attacks.
  • Skeleton Warriors have fast blockable attacks and decent force resistance; block and stun them before attacking.
  • Jewels can be a source of extra money (one sells for 602 fol), but keep at least one Jewel of Refuge. Jewels of Avarice may be useful in dark dungeons.
  • If you enter the wrong password in Norton's computer terminal three times, you will be teleported outside.
  • The Decrepit Tome is one of only four in the game. Use it carefully, preferably on Fayt. Spells can be cast outside of battle even without Common Support Symbols.
  • Visit Norton's office one last time for the Music Box Parts.
  • You will not have access to Norton's Hideout after exiting it.
  • Beat-Up Textbook (Unique)
  • Mighty Gauntlets (Unique)
  • Decrepit Tome (Artifact)
  • Medecentra Pyroxene (Unique)
  • Music Box Parts (Unique, Temp)
