FOL cheat for Star Ocean : Second Story (C) 1999 Enix Corporation Developed by Tri-Ace Co. and Links Licensed to Sony Computer Entertainment America Created by RPG Master CrescentSaber (crescentsaber@hotmail.com) Visit at www.Geocities.com/TimesSquare/Maze/6477 Any critics or advices plz mail me Copyright CrescentSaber (C) 1999 Version 1.0 Last updated 20/07/1999 Heya guys, first I wanna let u know that this is ma first FAQ. So, lets get to the point, shall we ? To do this, at least you have reached Fienal and already went to the save point before fighting Indalecio. Save there, and go to the Fun City. At the "Battle Square" you should find an old man with a green clothes. He should be in the back of the Colloseum. Talk to him, and he will ask you about reuturning past memories. Choose "Yes" twice and POOF! Youe should be back at Arlia. Yeah, Expel's Arlia. Go outside and u will find your Synard waiting for you outside. Now go to the Island at the lower left at the map. Some kind of "Desert" type island. There should be a dungeon there. This is Star Ocean 2's bonus dungeon. At Star Ocean 1 this kind of bonus dungeon exists too. But beware ! NO SAVE POINTS ! And the enemies here are EXTREMELY powerful. I came here at the level 101, and the enemies killed me a few times here. And without proper equipments, they should beat you like "Stealing a lolipop from a baby" thing. Err.. you should stock up Blueberries Ressurection Mists, Ressurection Bottles, Blackberries, oh yeah.. you better master the skill "Herbal Medicine" and "Compounding", plus buy Lizard Flask, Lavenders, Acerasses and Artemis Leaves. With compounding Lavender + Aceras = Ressurection Mist, etc Artemis Leaf + Aceras = Ressurection Mist, etc Oh yeah, I forgot something. At [Energy Nede] there's two big Ice Islands. One is "The field of power" And another one is an island with "Giveaway" town in it. Between those islands there should be two small islands. Land at the "Stick"-like island, and start searching the island. There's a secret shop "The Fake Gallery" selling Mithril Armours, Helmets,and "Magical Rasp" an item that took a great part at creating items from "Blacksmith". B U Y T H O S E I T E M S ! Those Armors should be your best equipments for now. Then you can safely raid the "Cave of trials"-the name of the bonus dungeon. Well, I add some items that you could create from Blacksmith and Customize, but I think I'll put it after the FOL trick. OK, this is the FOL trick. First, you have to learn the skill "Tool knowledge" so your selling prices will increase, this skill MUST be as level 10, so you better learn "Preser- verance". Second, learn "Metalwork" and "Identify" specialties Metalwork requirements : Mineralogy, Craft and Esthetic Sense Identify requirements : Mineralogy, Tool knowledge and Herbal Medicine Work 'em out so those skills are on level 10. Third, work out your FOLs so that you have at least 2.000.000 FOL You can do this easily by publishing books, and go to Lacour. A publishing company is opening a branch there. Sell your books, the rarer, the better. Each character can create 3 kind of book. One is the normal book, one is the rare book, and the other is a "Crumpled Paper" heheheheheh-just joking :> Name : Normal book - Rare book Claude : Planet of the winds - Ocean of stars Rena : I can only see you - Falling in love Precis : Buy it.... OK ? - A maiden's secret Celine : The world is mine - Lady in Red Chisato : But one truth ! - Killer's book Ashton : Mr.No - "Haven't discovered it yet" Leon : "Haven't discovered it yet" Ernest : Countdown - "Haven't discovered it yet" Noel : Living with animals - "Haven't discovered it yet" Opera : "Haven't discovered it yet" Dias : The Bloody Path - Live You should earn a LOT of Fol after doing this, but you can get more. After selling those books, wander around a little while, build up levels then go talk to the man, he will say something about CopyRight Money, and he will hand you the money. Talk to him once again, this time BUY your books buy each book 5, and go back to [Energy Nede]. Back to Central City and go to the Nede Publishing Company and do the same thing again. Fourth, customize your weapons. Here's the customizing list : Note : [Weapon] + [Ore] means you can choose any weapon and any ore to combine (Weapon) + Orihalcum means u can choose any weapon and Orihalcum to combine *Claude: Eternal Sphere: Minus Sword + Mithril Minus Sword: Sharp Edge + Mithril Silvance: (Weapon) + Orihalcon Aura Blade: [Weapon] + [Ore] Grandsting: Sharp Edge + Damascus *Rena: Empresia: Kaiser Knuckle + Moonite Sorceress Knuckle: Magical Glove + Rune Metal Kaiser Knuckle: [Weapon] + [Ore] *Celine: Rod of Snakes: [Weapon] + [Ore] Holy Rod: [Weapon] + Orihalcon Dragon Tusk: Holy Rod + Star Ruby, Ruby Rod + Orihalcum Silver Moon: Silver Rod + Moonite Tongue Twister : Silver Rod + Damascus *Ashton: Melufa: Psycher + Damascus Holy Cross: [Weapon] + [Ore] Gemini: Starlight + Meteorite, Pair Nuts + Meteorite *Opera: Burst Box: Magic Box + Kenja no Ishi Pulse Box: Beta Box + Orihalcum, Nu Box + Orihalcum Seventh Ray: Light Box + Rainbow Diamond *Precis: SD Punch: [Weapon] + [Ore] UGA Punch: SD Punch + Damascus SDUGA Punch: UGA Punch + Meteorite Spark Hand: [Weapon] + Rainbow Diamond Thunder Punch: [Weapon] + Diamond Burning Hand: [Weapon] + Star Ruby *Bowman: Ashura: Titan Fist + Rainbow Diamond Kaiser Knuckle: [Weapon] + [Ore] Moon Fist: Rune Full Moon + Diamond Titan Fist: Hecatonkale + Iron, Giant Fist + Rainbow Diamond *Ernest: Flare Whip: [Weapon] + Star Ruby Invisible: Light Whip + Mithril *Dias: Whirlwind: [Weapon] + Meteorite Crimson D: [Weapon] + Star Ruby Hard Cleaver: Breeze Hope + Rainbow Diamond Soul Slayer: Hard Cleaver + Damascus Ruins Fate: Minus Sword + Damascus *Leon: No no Kozo: [Weapon] + [Ore] Ankoku no Sho: [Weapon] + Damascus Konton no Sho: Ankoku no Sho + Damascus Monshojutsu Riron: [Weapon] + Rune Metal Monshojutsu Daijiten: Monshojutsu Riron + Moonite Kodai no Shomotsu: Konton no Sho + Damascus *Noel: Tiger Fang: Felpar Nail + Crystal Platinum Nail: Tiger Fang + Mithril Serpent Tooth: Eagle Claw + Sapphire Dragon Claw: [Weapon] + Moonite Grizzly Clasp: Dragon Claw + Iron *Chisato: Flame Gun: [Weapon] + Star Ruby Flare Gun: Flame Gun + Meteorite Freeze: Shock Gun + Sapphire Electron: [Weapon] + [Ore] Cracker: [Weapon] + Damascus Psychic Gun: Cracker + Kenja no Ishi Shock Gun: [Weapon] + Mithril Sorry I used Japanese b'coz I copied it from Exdeath (tm)'s FAQ, but I add some new Items. And the blacksmith list for your armours *Note: Most Blacksmith armor depends on whether or not you have the Magical Rasp support item. With the Magical Rasp, you can create better armor than you would be able to normally. Iron: Ring Mail, Knight Shield, Plate Greave, Plate Helm, Banded Helm Orihalcum : Neo Greave, Barrier Shield, Barrier Armor, Hermit Helm, Rare Gauntlet Damascus: Bloody Armor, Bloody Helm, Chaos Mail, Core Plate Moonite: Jeannie's Helm, Jeannie's Shield, Jeannie's Armor, Witch Boots Mithril: Mithril Coat, Mithril Dress, Mithril Shield, Mithril Mesh Meteorite: Star Cloak, Star Greave, Star Guard, Star Necklace Rune Metal: Wizard Met, Wizard Mail, Rune Shoes, Rune Buckler With the Magical Rasp: Iron: All-purpose Knife, Plate Mail Orihalcon: Odin Helm, Reflection Mail Damascus: Duel Suit, Duel Helm, Algol Moonite: Ishtar Robe, Isis Tiara, Kali Hand Mithril: Pallas Athena Meteorite: Sylvan Mail, Sylvan Helm, Sylvan Boots Rune Metal: Mirage Robe, Taka no Hagoromo Thats it, with the equipments above you will have the most deadly arsenal in the whole RPG world. Fifth, go through the "Cave of trials" until you reached "The Burglar's Nest" you can find a "Door to Door"-Santa here, and he sells DAMN GOODIES to buy think about it, all Minerals, including Damascus, Moonite, Meteorite, Mithril Sage's Stone, Rune Metal, ==> Tri-Emblems <== , Go-Home Frogs, etc here's the FOL trick : * First, set your Identify All ! to "Give Discount" * Buy Sage's Stone as much as you can * Then, set your Identify All ! to "Raise Price" * Sell the Sage's Stones That's it !! You bought them for 35000 FOL, then you sell 'em for 80000 FOL there, count your profits ! You can earn 1.000.000 FOL each time. Think if you can buy 'till 99... too bad you can only buy 20. sell 80000 x 20 = 1.600.000 buy 35000 x 20 = 700.000 _ ----------------------------- profit = 900.000 The Santa says "You just make your best decisions" or something like that after you buy em, heheh I said "You just make yourself bankrupt" :> after all he seems to have an unlimited pouch full of FOLs.
