How To Unlock Axe Armor
To unlock axe armor armor beat a thousand enemies, save, and
start over. Axe armor should be an option if you have killed enough
enemies.
Beating Brauner
Watch Brauner's hands when he paints-they'll
reveal the shape of the scribbles he'll paint
across the screen, allowing you to find a safe
spot. Jonathan should use his axe to attack
Brauner while the boss is in a painting, and
Charlotte should use the Tempest spell to make a
wall of wind that will both damage Brauner and
protect you from many of his attacks.
Beating Medusa
Fight this one solo with Jonathan, swinging at
Medusa with the Great Axe (its arc will allow
you to hit it from the ground) until the coils
appear along the floor. Position yourself safely
between two loops near Medusa's head, and throw
axes, which will strike it up to three times a
piece.
Beating Werewolf
There aren't many fancy tricks you can use
against the Werewolf, so focus on double-teaming
him and beating him as quickly as possible. Use
your most-damaging subweapon so you can attack
from a safe distance, and keep the Meteor Dual
Crush handy for when you're cornered. Exploit
the Werewolf's vulnerability to holy attacks by
using Piercing Beam as Charlotte's main attack
spell. It deals heavy damage and hits multiple
times when fully charged.
Beating The Creature
Use Charlotte's Dark Rift spell to suck all of
The Creature's projectile attacks into another
dimension, giving your team the advantage of
having to dodge only its physical attacks. Equip
Jonathan with a heavy weapon with a wide arc
that can hit The Creature twice per swing.
Beating Mummy Man
It takes a nimble hand to dodge Mummy Man's
attacks while leaping over the boss chamber's
moving blocks. Al-controlled characters lack the
necessary grace, so keep Charlotte on the bench.
Exploit Mummy Man's weaknesses by using
Jonathan's Flame Whip, and have Charlotte cast
Raging Fire with the R Button. Keep some MP open
so you can use Meteor to escape from tight spots.
Beating Stella & Loretta
To see the game's bad ending, you'll need to
slay both Stella & Loretta. To beat them as a
team, stay close (where they have trouble
hitting you) and take great care to avoid
Loretta's ice sword. For a safer win, battle
with Charlotte alone, use the Dark Rift spell,
and slide back and forth beneath the rift to
block their attacks while sapping Loretta's
health.
