You don't HAVE to light the lamps, but makes the fight a lot easier if you find yourself in a sticky situation. Too light them you can use Rita's fire magic, or a fire based attack (I think Yuri should have something like that at the stage your at). Be fast though, as they go out if you take too long.

Even though I'm past this part already, You've just ruined the story for everyone who isn't, well done. Try using spoiler tags next time you want to talk about the story.

Thanks mate. I didnt think this makes much of a difference to the story......

Yuri hasnt got any fire based techniques yet though.......have i done something wrong?

Were you directing that at both of us? If so, I apologise. In all fairness however, There are tons of threads on this forum full of spoilers without tags.

Have you not learned Yuri's 'Destruction Field'? Thats a fire based attack. Just as a word of warning however, I'm going off what i've heard, not what i've done. I DO know Rita's fire magic works however.

Destruction field is fire based? i never thought tht, i hought it was earth. Awesome, just one fire attack yeah? cool i'll give that a go, im assuming the duplicate belius disappears when torches are relit?

When your selecting artes, you'll notice they have a little symbol in there description telling you what element they are

And yes, the duplicate Belius will dissapear when ALL the torches are lit. I think its one fire attack for each one.

I done it, its easier when u only have to fight one. Any idea how to get the achievement for unveiling the whole world map? because im pretty sure i have done it all....

Congrats.

If you're after the 'map nerd' achievement (thanks for that, Namco >_>), I think you just have to uncover every inch of the map. You've probably missed a tiny bit that blends in with the map. Just go about your adventure and you should uncover it eventually. If you're really desperate however, you can always select the world map from the menu and zoom in too see it in closer detail.

I think thats all there is too it, but you can always Google it if theres something you're unsure about

Ah sweet, cheers Lost, i'll do it eventually. Why are boss fights so hard on this game? seriously.

Ha ha, well it made a refreshing change from what i've come to expect from 3D tales games and Team Symphonia!

Don't fret though, you've pretty much gotten past some of the hardest bosses in the game at this point

haha awesome. [spoiler=]how hard is the boss fight where its just karol vs that fish bat thing?[/spoiler]

I forgot about that one

When its just Karol its standard stuff...but then after that...well, you'll see what I mean. Just make sure you're FULLY stocked up! Unlike a...uh...certain person was...

haha i found out the hard way. I lost an ability though. cant you chain Arcane - Burst - Mystic ? because i swaer ive done that once or twice..... but now i cant seem to do it.....

If only I'd replied sooner...XD

Yeah, you can chain them together, I've done it tons of times before. Maybe you've got some skill thats preventing you from doing so? Either that or maybe you run out of juice in the overlimit bar before you have the chance too add a mystic arte too the chain?

Remember also that mystic artes only work in overlimit level 3 and up (I definitely didn't make this mistake *cough*).

I can't think of anything else that would be preventing you from doing that combination... I might be missing something. Check Google or GameFAQs if you're still having trouble.
