Weapon Tips

Flails: These weapons arent always the strongest weapon for Milo, but they will ALWAYS attack twice per turn. Unlike the whips, the flail can not only attack more than 1 enemy in the same group, but it can also attack enemies in other groups and hit the same enemy twice on the same turn. The "Great Flail" is the best of the flails and is technically the "best" weapon for Milo to use throughout the game.

Whips: These weapons will attack EVERY enemy in a single group (groups can have up to around 10 monsters each). The best of which is the hex whip, which must be made for Pyra from a Dark Block - it will be cursed, but it's still worth keeping equipped. The curse causes you to be tangled up in the whip AFTER an attack 30% of the time. You will not be able to move for 1 or 2 turns if you get tangled, but this usually doesnt matter because you'll defeat the enemies in the first round of combat anyway

Rename Characters

At the name entry screen use all five space to enter your name (eg., BRIAN) then use the FWD button. The screen should change to show another character. Repeat this process until you've named them all.

Crystal Ooze

Crystal Oozes are very powerful creatures towards the end of Level 5. Normal attacks are useless and spells may or may not hit them. The worst part is, they only have 2 HP and will either run 99% of the time or cast Freeze 4 (which really hurts). However, if you manage to kill one, they are worth 30,000 EXP a piece!

The best strategy is to use low-level magic that attacks all enemies (Storm Sword, Bolt 1 or Blast 2). They may or may not hit, it is based off luck (high level magic has the same chance to hit for the same damage, so just use lower magic to save on MP).

The other (and better option) is to have Pyra use an Earth Hammer, Shock Box, Ogre Flute or Black Box, if you have any of those (they are very hard to get). These items will not miss and will kill the Oozes 100% of the time (just make sure they don't break on you).
