Kick sometimes works ==========Miridan's Pass Creature -First time going in through Miridan's Pass (Before Eleh), look around the garden area near the lake to find the creature -You can pet and play with creature to quickly make it happy, pick it up and move it to one of three different areas (fire, lake, grass), and examine him which leads to the conclusion that you need to find nuts for him -Bitter nuts seem to highly raise stats later on in game but the creature dislikes them -Sweet nuts seem to slightly raise stats later on in the game and the creature loves eating them -Regular nuts seem to fairly raise stats later on in the game and the creature is okay with eating them -If too many sweet nuts are fed, the creature may fall asleep, in which case you leave him in the grass until he wakes up -Putting him near fire until he is overheating raises fire resistance later on in the game -Putting him in lake until he is freezing raises cold resistance later on in the game -If he overheats/freezes put him in the opposite climate (overheats=lake, freezes=fire) -I recommend you put him through the fire/lake about 4-5 times total, feed him about 5 of each nut, and play/pet him each time you talk to him -When you are ready to leave, put him in the grass and go; if you return here before going to Eleh and you see the creature jumping up and down before you talk to him or even get near him, then he should assist you later 190 on in the game -Later on in the game during the Battle of Miridan's Pass, if you speak with the creature prior to the battle then he will join you supposing you were kind to him earlier in the game as well as giving you a Strength Talisman (only one, +50 str) -If you were cruel to him like feeding him too many bitter nuts and leaving him in one climate or totally neglecting him, he opposes fa0 you during the Battle of Miridan's Pass and will not give you the Strength Talisman -During the battle if you want him empowered, hastened, and healed, you must have a computer controlled healer do it since you cannot select the creature; the creature appearently has the ability to die during the battle but has not happened to me thus far, and after the battle is over he will be in the back of his cave (behind the boulder) ==========Battle of Miridan's Pass Tactics -6 possible rewards, dependant on how many flags you kept; -Boost Band (Level 20), Stealth Mastery Ring (Always in Stealth), Regen Band (Regen Level 6), Absorb Ring (Energy Shield),Ice Shield Ring (Ice Shield), Fire Shield Ring (Fire Shield) -Battle: -Buy Hawkwood’s mercenaries in Munari City (Talk to Pava at Arena, Buy Mercenaries for 7000 gold) -If you treated the creature at the garden nicely, talk to him before battle for him to join you (Minor help) -Send all troops to Location>Galdyr Gate, then go Solo Mode and send 2 of your party members to Galdyr Gate and make one go to Khosi -At beginning of battle, switch to party member near Galdyr Gate to keep enemies concentrated there, then use Vizier’s Token on character near Khosi to transport to Galdyr Yellow or Galdyr Green flag, then join battle CREDIT TO: Ein Valentine ==========Magic Circles -Use at Nhauvasarihm at circle (Center of six thrones) -#1=Halassar Palace Library (Bonus: +2 Skill Points) -#2=Yago’s Home in Eleh Caverns (Bonus: Permanently Raise HP/AP) -#3=Temple of Archons (Bonus: Permanently Raises Magic Defense) -#4=Tome of Nhuvasarim (Bonus: Permanently Raise Concentration) -#5=Battle With King Imarbeth IX (Bonus: Party Gains 25,000 XP) (BONUSES CREDIT TO: Gundam4fun) ==========Magic Circle/Flaming Cutlass Easter Eggs -At the beginning of the game, save the Flaming Cutlass from the Pirate Captain Boss -Enter Tome of Nhuvasarim and fight until you reach the garden area -After clearing out the area, use a sword combo with the Flaming Cutlass on the meat tree that resembles Luminar (easter egg) -Use Magic Circle 2 at the Tidus statue (easter egg) -Use Magic Circle 1 at the Machival statue (easter egg) ==========Extreme Leveling -Until about level 18-20 fight in The Tome of The Nhuvasarim -After level 20, enter the Survival Mode of the Arena so as long as your team can sustain itself for a long time and you have the 13th Guardian. -Around wave 250 enemies get too hard to kill, so rely on Destroy Undead (Necromancy) or the 13th Guardian's automatic chance to cast death when you attack (If you have Killing Blow, combine that with the chance to cast death for a high killing rate) -Around wave 500-800 you might get 500,000-1,000,000 XP+ and around wave 250-499 you may get about 30,000-100,000+ -You might level to 35 and past during extended fighting period using this method. -Other methods of killing include normally using the 13th Guardian's combo for death chances, summoning Sand lvl 3 and using a Leg Sweep/Backstab combo, or if you have Sangaril use a Paralyze/Backstab combo. Casting Death or Destroy Undead can also work. ==========All You Need to Know About Gems -In advance I would like to thank kiah heavily for this immense amount of information regarding gems. -In advance I do realize that some of this information is in the Paludal's Foundary section however since this includes everything imaginable about gems I figured I'd compile everything right here in one section. -Gems have two functions: Primary stat boosters for Iari, and weapon enhancers at the foundary. Soul consumption gives you 9 types of souls which can be turned into gems. It requires 10 souls per level to a maximum of 10 levels. 1) Redemption-----creates white gems 2) Soul Search----creates green gems 3) Vitalize-------creates red gems 4) Haste----------creates yellow gems 5) Soul Transfer--creates black gems 6) Inferno--------creates orange gems 7) Omen- 190 ----------creates cyan gems 8) Urath Prayer---creates blue gems 9) Beguile--------creates purple gems -Gems of various levels and types are dropped by some monsters, but the only reliable way to get the type and level you want is to forge them. Any gem you forge for Iari has three important levels; 1, 5, and 8. Level 1 tells you what the basic stat bonuses and penalties are (increase and d fa0 ecrease per level shown below). Level 5 adds a ward, and level 8 adds an effect. This effect will go to level 15 with the gem at level 10. Additionally, each gem level increases/decreases the bonus/penalty discovered at the first level. -WHITE: Strength -1/lvl, M Def -1/lvl, AP Regen (100% + 10%/lvl, Poison Ward at 5, and Ice Shield at 8 -GREEN: Strength -2/lvl, Defense -2/lvl, Stamina -2/lvl, Intelligence +5/lvl, Magic +10/lvl, Magic Defense +10/lvl, Sense Ward at 5, and Faith at 8 -RED: Intelligence -1/lvl, Magic Defense -2/lvl, Stamina +15/lvl!!, Defense +15/lvl, Strength Ward at 5, and Regeneration at 8 accompanied by a hit to AP Regeneration -YELLOW: Speed +30/lvl!!, Time Ward at 5, Hastened at 8 -BLACK: All Stats +3/lvl except Intelligence +2/lvl, Soul Ward at 5, Empowered at 8 -ORANGE: Strength +10/lvl, Magic +10/lvl, Death Ward at 5, Fire Shield at 8 -CYAN: Defense +10/lvl, Magic Defense +10/lvl, Magic Ward at 5, Protected at 8 -BLUE: Stamina +25/lvl!!!, Death Ward at 5, no level 8 effect -PURPLE: Stamina -3/lvl, Intelligence -2/lvl, Magic +10/lvl, Strength +10/lvl, Defense +10/lvl Magic Defense +10/lvl, Mind Ward at level 5, Energy Shield at 8 -None of the level 5 or 8 effects for Iari carry into the weapon process, but all the level 1 stat increases/decreases do. Additionally, since kiah was not able to get the 2-H sword Mold (he chose the Hammer Mold) no info on this is available right now. Each mold has a unique level and a maximum number of gems you can equip on it, regardless of how the levels add up. Also, it seems each weapon mold can only be used once, unless there's some trick to it not figured out yet. Weapon Mold Locations: -1) Crossbow Mold: Wear the Red Mask you get from Defeating the Tribunal and talk to the guy with a red mask near the teleporter as you enter the Temple of the Archons. -2) Sword Mold: Dropped by Paludal after you defeat him. -3) 2-H Sword Mold: If you help the Rococros by feeding them the Lemurs and then playing the Rocarina for them, they will leave you the mold. -4) Axe Mold: Dropped by Sharangir when you defeat him. -5) Hammer Mold: If you help the lemurs by killing all the Rococros, and then feeding them the Maremango you can find in the Friendly Mud Golem's house at the beginning of the level, go turn the power on in the next couple of buildings down the bridge, and return and open the cage. They will leave you the mold. -6) Staff Mold: Dropped by Imarbeth when you defeat him. There are 4 Muds: Burning Mud (gives Inferno effect), Crystalline Mud (gives Ice Coffin effect), Noxious Mud (gives Death effect), and Volatile Mud (gives Chain Lightning effect). Mud is 100% reusable (so no point in stocking up on Noxious Muds). Each mud's effect is 3.5%/(gem lvl) rounded down...so, 3%, 7%, 10%, 14%, etc. Each weapon assigns different power levels (PL) to each gem's level (GL). There is also a level given to the weapon which is fairly meaningless as a number. All the gem's bonuses/penalties to stats follow exactly as listed above. Example: -Crossbow (has a level of 5--meaningless, I think, other than to say it stinks) ...Innate strength of +2 with no gems attached ...Maximum 1 gem ...Maximum power level of 10, maximum gem level of 4 GL1=PL3, GL2=PL6, GL3=PL8, GL4=PL10 (GL is gem level and PL is power level) In other words, equipping a level 1 gem (of any color) gives you a power level of 3 for the weapon. So the only way to maximize the power level of the weapon is to use a gem of level 4, and since it can only equip one gem, that's the end of the story. Let's say you used a GREEN gem of power level 4 and a noxious mud. Since the gem is level 4, it will automatically take us to the maximum power level which is 10. At level 10, GREEN gives a status penalty of -20 Strength (but Crossbow had innate strength of 2 for a total penalty of -18), a penalty of -20 to defense, -20 to stamina, +50 to Intelligence, +100 to 190 Magic, and +100 to Magic Defense. The combined levels of the gems used in forging will determine what per-centage chance the mud's effect will have. This ranges from gem level 4 for a crossbow (4 x 3.5% = 14%) to combined gem level 14 for a staff (14 x 3.5% = 50%). Now to finish the list: -Sword ...Innate strength +10 ...Maximum 1 gem ...Maximum power level 10, maximum gem level 6 G fa0 L1=PL2, GL2=PL4, GL3=PL6, GL4=PL7, GL5=PL9, GL6=PL10 -Axe ...Innate strength +12, innate speed -20 ...Maximum 2 gems ...Maximum power level 10, maximum gem level 10 GL1=PL2, GL2=PL3 ,GL3=PL4 ,GL4=PL5 ,GL5=PL6 ,GL6=PL7 ,GL7=PL8 ,GL8=PL9 ,GL9=PL10, GL10=PL10 Note: Since you can equip 2 gems now, you can combine gems linearly to get the gem level. In other words, to get level 10 (which gives maximum power level), you can can equip one level 10 gem to make an axe or any two gems which combine to 10. By comparing the stats of the gems you can try for better effects. You can still only get 35% effect from the mud. -Hammer ...Innate Strength +12, innate speed -20 ...Maximum 2 gems ...Maximum power level 10, maximum gem level 12 GL1=PL1, GL2=PL2, GL3=PL3, GL4=PL4, GL5=PL5, GL6=PL6, GL7=PL6, GL8=PL7, GL9=PL8, GL10=PL9, GL11=PL10, GL12=PL10 Note: the only way to get gem levels above 10 is to combine two gems; now the maximum effect is 42% because combining gems takes us above the 10 level limit per gem -Staff ...Innate Strength +12, innate speed -20 ...Maximum 3 gems ...Maximum power level 10, maximum gem level 14 GL1=PL1, GL2=PL2, GL3=PL3, GL4=PL3, GL5=PL4, GL6=PL5, GL7=PL6, GL8=PL6, GL9=PL7, GL10=PL8, GL11=PL8, GL12=PL9, GL13=PL10, GL14=PL10 Note: This can take you to 50% effect with mud Let's say you want death weapons. -Crossbow has maximum of 14% death -Sword has max of 21% -Axe has max of 35% -Hammer has max of 42% -Staff has max of 50% OK, some of the percentages may be off a touch... Where do you get the souls for the best gems? Take Morbazan solo into the Tamarith Citadel (hopefully you have taken him into the arena long enough to be approaching invincible), and he can get all the best souls on his trek through. Haste is most easily done by running in circles soul consuming the zombies in Miridan's Pass. More lists such as the gems that can be stolen from monsters and the soul types you can take from monsters will sometime be added in, but for now this should be well more than enough. CREDIT TO: kiah ==========Double Soul Consume -Can take in two souls for one kill -Must have Soul Hammer (Labyrinth of Guardians) and Soul Consume (Triangle, Twilight Combat lvl 2) -With Soul Hammer equipped, kill an enemy with Soul Consume -Will recieve two souls -Seems to be random, sometimes it absorbs one soul, sometimes four souls ==========Arena Money Glitch -A helpful bug at last. It turns out if two of your characters die while one is in Ice Coffin, and you were controlling one of the dead ones, then as long as you never switch to the frozen one the enemies will never attack it. I only watched this for 70 rounds but I see no reason it won't hold beyond that. What this means is that you can leave the game on overnight and, when you are ready to play, activate the remaining character, die, and collect a wad of cash.

There will be a human standing straight in front of you asking to loan 1000 gold.Give him the loan and he gives you a bodril. Hang onto the bodril and later on he will offer to pay you back. Inst 190 ead tell him you want to buy the bodril for 5000 gold. After this he will ask if you actually want to buy it, say no. You will gain a little bit of exp. and 1200 gold. DON'T LEAVE. Continue talking to him, he will keep asking you if you want to buy his bodril, keep saying no and he will give you 1200 Gold everytime. Do this repeatedly for about 10 minutes and you can get around 200,000 Gold e fa0 asily. Once you leave the area though, he is gone and you can't do it again.

I tried to include every primary boss I could think of off the top of my head so I probably missed some things. If you find a tip that could be very helpful on a boss fight or an entire boss fight I missed, then see the contact information section at the top on how to get in touch with me. If you would like to remind me of a certain boss fight, then you might want to send information on that boss too; remember that all information submitted will be credited. ==========Defeating Pirate Captain -Carefully read tutorials at beginning of game for info on blocking, locking on enemies, and attacking, etc. -When needed cast heal while running from Captain -Shouldn't need to use potions -Use constant Square, Square, Square combo and block when able ==========Defeating Krobelus (First Time) -Summon Blood lvl 1 and let allies take care of enemies as decoys, both will probably die eventually -Using Blood, run and attack the first two orbs five times each, then attack third orb four times leaving one hit left for its destruction -Now level down the enemies if possible and whenever a chance comes up, attempt to revive and heal fallen allies -Get as much of your party together, if all three then overcome the remaining monsters and destroy final orb -Now assault Krobelus until defeated ==========Defeating Azraman -Depending on what skills, equipment, potions, and scrolls you have this could be easy or hard -At beginning continuously combo Azraman and use health potions when required -When shield comes up do one of two things -Either way, hit him with elemental magic scrolls when his shield is down until you are out of them -A) Keep locked on Azraman until he charges past you, and then move out of the way and try to attack him, repeat -B) Run up to him while shield is up and wait about three full seconds (varies) and begin attacking, if successful right when his shield goes down you will hit him and he will reenter his shield again, after hitting once, run back and dodge him then repeat ==========Defeating Xaoset -Usually if you fight him after return from the Twilight Realm, the battle is far too easy, just hack and slash until his death -Usually if you fight him once you get the quest, things will be very difficult -One perfect way of defeating him is stocking up on energy and ice scrolls of 190 any level and use about 5 of them on him for death -(CREDIT TO: Bombed420) Bombed420 seemingly was simply able to block, attack, block, attack, and repeat until he was defeated -Turn your back to him and guard.

Feel free to submit something you think several other people will have trouble with and I will evaluate it. Please note that I am noticing that many of these are somewhere in my FAQ already but I think they should also be mentioned all in one section. Q: I am fighting Paludal and cannot beat him; my party is Maia and (one or both of Neru and Taurgis) and the mud form of (Neru and/or Tidus) never stops healing himself and barely ever takes damage, what do I do? A: The famous Neru and Taurgis Paludal Mud Forms. I see the question roughly ever 5 messages posted on the message board. The solution is simple: do not use either of these characters in your line-up. Even if your other character choices are very weak, it is better to have a chance at a battle rather than not being able to win at all; without chance. Q: I am at the end of the game when Sudama Kir puts up her Force Shield and I cannot do anything. Then once she kills one of my characters, these invulnerable Tempest Demons pop up and slaughter me, what do I do? A: I had the same problem for quite some time but the solution is simple even if your characters are under leveled. Have Taurgis go up front to her to trigger the Force Shield and hopefully will take the damage (he usually has the most health therefore able to take more hits) then equip Sangaril with your most powerful crossbow (Ilgred's Crossbow is at the beginning of the Eye of The Storm) and hit away. Once she runs again though be prepared for more waves of Tempest Demons and more fighting. ++++++++++ E) Bugs ++++++++++ As we all know Summoner 1 had a plethora of bugs, ranging from constant crashing of the game, to not receiving the Tome of The Nhuvasarim after defeating Murod, thus disabling that quest. In Summoner 2 most people expected just as much but fortunately not too many immensely big ones, save a few of the ones listed here. If you find out bugs please send me an e-mail of the description of it and some way of giving credit to you, that is 190 of course if you'd like me to post it in this FAQ. --=Neru's Tiger Stance: Many people reported this bug while going Tiger Stance with Neru in the Tome of Nhuvasarim (though it may occur in other places) in which they activated Tiger Stance but died while in Tiger Stance. Neru, once revived, will be stuck in Tiger Stance indefinitely and can only move by kicking. A solution may be reach fa0 ed but be careful with this until then. Another note directly from charlatan is that appearently the direct cause of this glitch is leaving a zone while Neru is in Tiger Stance, however he comments that the above cause regarding death and revival while in Tiger Stance may also be a cause. CREDIT TO: charlatan and BBasucov2 --=Constant Crashing Of Game: Many people on the message boards have reported at some point in the game, usually early on, their game continuously crashes in the same area and wouldn't work under any conditions. If this happens and the PS2 works with other games, and Summoner 2 won't work on a different console, then take the game back and swap them. No apparent cause other than a bad game seems likely, so do take the game back and swap them. CREDIT TO: All those unfortunate ones who reported crashing games --=Healers Bug: Healers have a bug in that if they are Silenced and they need to heal somebody, they will sit in one place doing nothing until they come out of silence or that character is healed. No further info is known CREDIT TO: Upright8infinitY --=Arena Cash Bug: A helpful bug at last. It turns out if two of your characters die while in the arena and one is in Ice Coffin, and you were controlling one of the dead ones, then as long as you never switch to the frozen one the enemies will never attack it. I only watched this for 70 rounds but I see no reason it won't hold beyond that. What this means is that you can leave the game on overnight and, when you are ready to play, activate the remaining character, die, and collect a wad of cash. CREDIT TO: FitzGames --=Summoning Color Glitch: A really, really cool glitch that doesn't really have any negative effects especially considering it's temporary. In the Arena, if you are in the Arena in Survival Mode for an exceedingly large amount of time, you will notice things getting black and heavily pixelated (i.e. the Death Spell). If you try and summong during this time period chances are your summons will come out to some degree of black. I though this was particularly cool when used with the 13th Summon. I mean come on a 13th Summon with black nicely curved pixels coming out of its little vent things who has a black shield and a black hand-sword and everything is black minus its red eye, or how about the Sand Summong coming out with black wings and a black head. On a funnier note if the Blood Summon comes with a black torso and legs but the fleshy mace, shield, and head, the Blood Summon looks particularly femenine, though not to be sexist... you will see what I'm saying if you get this effect. Also when exiting the arena, right after a fight, you will see Maia can summon and everybody can attack and cast spells. Isn't it funny when a gigantic Blood monstrosity wielding a mace and a shield comes sprinting in haste around the bottom circles of the arena talking to the gladiators and locals. --=Bordril Glitch: Free Money! In Mas Ora's district of The Munari City go to the House of Soleil (It's the first building on your left after entering Mas Ora's district.) There will be a human standing straight in front of you asking to loan 1000 gold. Give him the loan and he gives you a bordril. Hang onto the bordril and later on he will offer to pay you back. Instead tell him you want to buy the bordril for 5000 gold. After this he will ask if you actually want to buy it, say no. You will gain a little bit of exp. and 1200 gold. DON'T LEAVE. Continue talking to him, he will keep asking you if you want to buy his bordril, keep saying no and he will give you 1200 Gold everytime. Do this repeatedly for about 10 minutes and you can get around 200,000 Gold easily. Once you leave the area though, he is gone and you can't do it again. CREDIT TO: CromeMag68 --=Imarbeth Glitch Bad, bad bug. mjlgaard reports that he killed Imarbeth IX twice in his human form, then once in his demonic form and then Imar 190 beth IX dematerialized and the battle ended, but instead of Imarbeth IX ressurecting for one final time and the cutscene occuring, nothing happens. He has tried this over 7 times and nothing has worked so we are concluding it is a bug without cure, if this is happening to you, you may want to consider restarting the game. CREDIT TO: mjlgaard@runestone.net ++++++++++ F) Words of Advice for fa0 Playing ++++++++++ This portion Primarily consists of tips on how to effectively play the game to the best of its effects, both in how to win battles, and how to get the most out of the game. Fighting: -Make the most of your abilities; not just skills but blocking, attacking from the back so the enemies cannot block, locking on, and using the correct combo at the right time. Yes, it usually seems that sometimes the best thing to do is to only execute a two instead of four hit combo. Lets say you are fighting a Galdyr Ghoul and you know you will soon execute the combo, so you begin, however once you begin another one comes from behind so if you were to use all four hits, A) The Galdyr Ghoul might block, and B) When you finished there is a higher chance both Galdyr Ghouls would hit you. Now lets say you only executed two hits, got hit by one Galdyr Ghoul during recovery, and ran off to strategize perhaps a block, or the use of an "all-around" skill (like whirlwind, or nightmare) so that you will decrease damage and considering Galdyr Ghouls and Living Armors among others have a chance to cast death on hit, there will be serious effects over a period of time. -Skills, these are essential to the well being of your party and the outcome of a battle. Lets say for instance you have maxed out Assassination on Sangaril and are in a bind against enemies with gigantic amounts of health compared to your minimal damage, you can use the famous Paralyze+Backstab combo. In normal combat if an enemy is actively attacking another party member and has no ice coffin or paralyze, then if you Backstab it then the effects of it will be minimized to say 200 late in the game. However, if a castor can freeze or ice coffin it, or if you use Sangaril's Paralyze skill (Charge Square) with a positive outcome, then you can creep up behind it and Backstab it for optimal damage, in almost every case this means instant death, though I am not sure it will work 100% of the time. Other possibilities are using Maia's Nightmare (Halassar Combat lvl 10) to attempt to force an enemy into sleep, blindness, and other status effects, and then follow up by say surrounding the sleeping enemy with as many castors you can come up with, and using lets say Inferno on Maia, Ice Coffin on Yago/Morbazon, and any other spell on a remaining castor if there is one.
