Grandia II

Not used to console-style RPGs? Or maybe you just need some help against all those damn monsters. Whatever ails you, these general tips, item lists, and strategies for the first few hours of the game — straight from Grandia II’s developer — should help ease the pain.

_________________________________________________________________combat fundamentals

WATCH YOUR SIX

The position of your party plays a key role in surprising the enemy. Always engage enemies from the rear or the side. This gives you the first attack once you jump into combat. The same applies to you — don’t let monsters chase you down from behind. If you can’t flank them, it’s best to face monsters head-on.

GAUGE THE BATTLEFIELD

The IP Gauge is a handy tool for analyzing an enemy’s next target. When the Gauge signals one of your characters to make a move, take this time to check the monster’s Combat Status Window: it tells you which of your characters that monster is attacking next. So if you learn that, say, the Giant Mantis is ready to tear into Ryudo, you know to use another character to attack while Ryudo defends himself.

ROLLIN’ OUT THE HITS 

One more effective — yet riskier — defense is a solid, well-timed attack. When it’s your character’s turn to attack, check the game screen or the Combat Status Window to see if any monsters are lining up to hit you. Instead of Evading or Defending, try attacking the monster that’s furthest away. With the right timing, your character will move to attack before getting hit — avoiding damage and inflicting some of its own.

THE POWER OF HEALING 

To prevent your adventurers from exhausting themselves in combat, devote one character to the art of healing. Even though he leaves your party eventually, Roan is an ideal candidate to patch your party back together or even bring them back from the edge of death. When equipping a healer, take a defensive scheme and give that character the Holy Egg for Mana. Crank up all this person’s healing spells and boost that DEF rating as high as you can.

TENACIOUS D

Run out of Move Points during combat? Defense is the answer. Remember that you gain back Move Points whenever you use Defend against an attack. This point becomes key in long, epic battles, where you might earn back some of the Move Points you previously exhausted — and thus cap off the fight with a destructive finish.

_____________________________________________________________________________beginnings

MEET ELENA

Ryudo, the hero of Grandia II, begins his adventure when he takes on the task of protecting the Songstress Elena as she struggles to stave off possession by the God of Darkness, Valmar. The adventure quickly spirals into a peril greater than either of them could fathom, and Elena must learn to handle herself in combat. Equip her mainly with defensive upgrades like armor and accessories, but don’t hesitate to increase her Staff power or supercharge her offensive mainstay, the Impact Bomb.     

THE POSSESSION BEGINS

Elena doesn’t journey far before she’s overtaken by the Wings of Valmar, and transforms into a new being who derives her power from Chaos — Millenia. More combustible and rash than fair Elena, Millenia wields great power with her highly destructive Fallen Wings move. But Elena will be back soon enough, as her character commands the majority of the adventure. Consider this when equipping Millenia, and avoid gearing her up with items you want to use on a regular basis. 

FACING THE MINOTAUR

Ryudo and Millenia’s travels lead them into Agear Town, where they encounter the diminutive Roan and are led to retrieve his memento in a most treacherous place: Durham Cave. This subterranean wasteland is domain to vicious Troglodytes, and most deadly, a behemoth Minotaur. You’ll encounter a pair of Troglodytes first — Millenia’s Fallen Wing and Ryudo’s Zap work best here.

Then it’s off to take on the Minotaur and two more Troglodyte henchmen. Again, Fallen Wing works best from the get-go, then Ryudo’s almighty Tenseiken Slash and Roan’s Golden Hammer should mop up the Trogs. Facing the Minotaur, use Skill moves instead of magic or attack items. If you can develop uncanny timing with your Critical moves to counter the Minotaur’s attacks, you should be able to topple the beast and discover a powerful tome, the Adventure Book, in the process.

ENTER SAND MEN

They don’t carry gaffi sticks, but these sand dwellers can still deliver the pain. They travel in groups of six — the biggest creature groups you’ve seen yet. You can fell all half-dozen of them with a Chaos Egg Zap spell. But if you want to save your magic points, go for the head Sand Man with special attacks, then clean up the rest of the pack with Critical counterattacks.   

IN THE SHADOW OF THE BEAST MAN

Outside the village of Liligue, our trio is roused from slumber by an irate Beast Man. There’s just no time to negotiate with this devastating creature, who appears to be very angry with Ryudo. Use this preoccupation to your advantage by using Roan and Elena to heal Ryudo and attack the Beast with magic or special attacks. Beware the tremendous force of the Beast Man’s Beast-Fang Cut.  

THE TURNING OF MAREG

If you defeat the Beast Man, he’ll eventually seek you out again — this time as Mareg, an able fighter who was misdirected to attack Ryudo before. Mareg now becomes the heavy artillery of your party, so be sure to power-up the Beast-Fang Cut attack and take advantage of his surprising speed in combat.

WAKING THE UNDEAD

Nosing around in Liligue Cave will rouse an enemy your party has yet to face — the undead. These Ghouls wield a nasty array of death magic, including Power Drain, which steals HP from your characters and heals damaged Ghouls. They thrive on using Gravity to pull your party into close range, then blasting you with Ice Prickle. Stay loose in your formation and bust out the Burnflame. If you triumph, you’ll score some Yomi’s Elixir.  

THE TONGUE OF VALMAR

Remember the repulsive Gadan your party met in Liligue City? Now prepare to meet his hideous new form, the bloated and ravenous Tongue of Valmar. With Millenia back in the fray, equip her with the Burning Bow and Flare Dress, which can be found in a chest within the Liligue Caverns. Take this time to outfit everyone with any fire protection you might have, too.

This foul behemoth consists of four body parts you must destroy separately. Go for the Head first: it contains no treasure and attempts to Heal the other parts. Then go after the Left Hand, Right Hand, and Body, respectively. Falling Wings and Zap will damage all parts simultaneously, and when you run out of those, rely on physical attacks to counter Gadan’s mercilessly potent Huge Leap and Starving Tongue attacks. 

INTO LUMIR FOREST

The tree roots in this area can be chopped away to reveal new passageways, as well as a powerful new weapon — the Oracle Staff, which Elena can wield with devastating results. Using Ryudo, hit the A button to chop away the third root, and scoop up the Staff. Then slice away the other roots to find your way out. You’ll then encounter Aira, a young girl who keeps a Garden of Dreams in Mirumu Village. Keep this encounter fresh in your mind.

EYES WIDE BAT

Your prime objective in Mirumu is to free the village from the grasp of a sinister sleeping spell. This effort finds your party slipping into the Mysterious Fissure, where the next enemy Boss awaits — the Eyeball Bats. These nefarious mutations have a furious attack pattern, one that you can foil best with moves like Tenseiken Slash, Beast-Fang Cut, Golden Hammer, and the Crackle spell. Fan out and destroy the Bats one by one. This strategy is best at thwarting the Delta-Burst, the Eye Bat’s formidable group attack.

DEADLY MIRAGE

From the Garden of Dreams, you’ll enter the hallucinogenic nowhere land that is Aira’s Space. The creatures there are equally strange. Star Mirages, faceless shapes that descend from the fog, can be quite deadly if not dispatched quickly. Multi-hit attacks like Tremor, Howl, and Crackle are most effective.

WHO LET THE HELL OUT

Just before you face the next incarnation of Valmar, a pack of no-good Hellhounds threatens to run you out of Aira’s Space. Let loose with any multi-hit spells you have now, since you can power them up afterward. Hellhounds use Wow spells to build up enough power to release massive attacks, so feel free to have Millenia tear it up with her Fallen Wings to end things quickly. Critical attacks and well-timed Combos can also work.

VALMAR'S EYE

Finally comes the confrontation with Valmar’s Eye, a grotesque triple-threat of two Tendrils and one Body. What’s worse are the Eye’s guests — four more Eyeball Bats, who make it tough to get a clear shot at the Eye. Steel yourself for this battle with protections like Sleep Charm, Raincoat, and Snake Earrings to belay the Eye’s battery of confusion, sleep, and poison spells.

First, take out at least one Bat as quickly as you can (before they get a chance to team up for a Delta-Burst), then mop up the rest. Then focus your firepower on one Tendril at a time, saving the Body for last. The battle is a grueling one, so don’t hold back on your most powerful attacks — or the Yomi’s Elixir, if you have to.

MULTIPLE TARGETS AND BEYOND

With the defeat of Valmar’s Eye, your party is now on the verge of reaching the much-revered Granas Cathedral, where Elena can hopefully purge the dark lord from her body. But first you must breach the mountains of St. Heim, an ideal place to hone your combat techniques on the creatures that roam here. Practice efficient use of multi-target magic (Zap, Howl, Tremor, and so on) by selecting the target that will spread the damage around to the highest number of surrounding creatures. This technique will serve you well on your path to Granas Cathedral, and beyond into the latter half of the Grandia II saga.
