i explore alot
talk to everybody
got plenty of stuff
'n it was just fun figuring out a way to beat every monster a went against with minor inguries
so that toke awhile

I talk to everyone too... I just don't level up that much.

hm
there's another thing
i always ran around looking 4 spirits
some of them were pretty hard to find 'n some took awhile

Guilty has a lot of HP, so the best thing to do before you fight him is make sure that you can last long in a fight (many Healing Potions and Spirit Lights, and something to give you your MP back if you use healing spells). After that just attack him with your favorite high-level spell. Even better: by the time you get to Brannoch, you should have collected enough elements to achieve the flawless defensive combo of doom (Barrier, Healing lv 2 and Drain Magic). If you use these spells, you'll never be short on anything, and you'll only have to renew your buffs 1 round out of 4.

In case you didn't notice, that problem was solved. Wind Cutter level 3.

Oh, I did notice. I just thought other people would have trouble with Guilty sooner or later, so I posted for the record.

i nvr got windcutter lv3 at that time, just powerful fire and water magic....

? Water wasn't good against Guilty... His attacks did too much damage up close.

Sifer probably didn't use Water Pillar. Maybe Ice Knife?

But that attack is so weak...

Against big bosses like Guilty, go with Avalanche. Guilty's somewhat immune to every element, so nothing works that well, but Avalanche is extrememly powerful, as it'll hit multible times more often than not, and each one packs a serious whallop. It's totally over-powered. You can clear groups so fast, and even those green Wvyerns in cull hazard, being weak agaisnt earth spells, can fall in a single round of this THAT early in the game.

This isn't that early in the game...

On another note... I beat Beigis, and now I'm fighting Mammon. And no, I don't have Avalanche, so that won't help me.

well I'm back

Mammon you say?

Well I don't have any great ideas besides that, but I do have several above mediocre ones

Water-magic drain and healing LV2

Fire-power Staff LV2 and Vampires touch

Wind-Evade LV2 and Wind cutter LV3

there not the best Ideas but I hope they help

I was thinking healing level 2 and large cutter... Is fire more effective against Mammon, or is wind?
