When you go to a tag area do the following: -When you begin, use the speed charm. -Catch up to the goblin and use the item that causes sleep/paralysis -Kill the goblin NOTE: This doesn't work on all goblins, in case it doesn't work, still use the speed charm, but use an elemental item when you catch up to the goblin. OBSERVATION: I have noticed that the goblins I have met were at places that start with detestable golden _________________________________________ 2.Keywords -Delta: Hidden, Forbidden, Holy Ground; Kite,Black Rose, & Balmung are attacked. Also where Helba is first seen. -Delta: Expansive, Haunted, Sea of Sand; Where a person on the board said they saw the girl.

You fight Killer Snaker. _________________________________________ 3.Hard Bosses For most of the bosses all you do is use attacks until they can be data drained, but here are some bosses that need special love and care(in other words, they are bigger and fall harder). -Delta: Boundless, Corrupted, Fort Walls *Red Wyrm Boss The Red Wyrm took about a whole half hour for me to beat. To make it easier, get right in and hit the bottom of his tail. I recommend tiger slash and any elemental items or moves you have. -Plenteous, Smiling, Hypha *Killer Snaker. You come here with just Elk (who is very weak),but Mia ends up helping with the Killer Snaker. You might want to stock up on resurrects because if Elk dies on you like he did with me, it takes a LONG time to till this boss, but it can be done. First tell Elk to do magic or skills. Then just keep using tiger slash when Mia does revolver so you can get out without much damage. Do not use Gale of Swords(like I stupidly did)because by the time you have enough SP, the shield will restore. Repeat Tiger Slash until he can be data drained. If Elk dies on you,(he's not the best person to fight with)then wait until your SP heals all the way and do Tiger Slash just like if Elk was alive. Keep running around the very edges of the room so that you won't get hit a lot and let Mia do the fighting when you get down to 10 SP. Eventually, the shield will break and you can data drain him. ADVICE: Keep the camera focused straight ahead when running around the edges of the room. Try to find a spot to heal SP that doesn't show [ENEMY]in the corner of the screen. _________________________________________ 4.Books of Ryu Book of Ryu I:-Over 5 hours play time -Over 10 hours play time -Over 15 hours playtime -Over 10 areas visited -Over 20 areas visited -Over 30 areas visited Book of Ryu II: -Over 50 magic portals opened -Over 100 magic portals opened -Over 150 magic portals opened -Over 200 magic portals opened -Over 300 magic portals opened -Over 400 magic portals opened -Over 5 fields cleared -Over 10 fields cleared -Over 10 dungeons cleared -Over 15 dungeons cleared Book of Ryu III:-Over 20 names registere -Over 5 trades -Over 10 trades Book of Ryu IV: -Over 40 monsters listed -Over 80 monsters listed Book of Ryu V: -Over 20,000 dollars in gifts -Over 50,000 dollars in gifts Ryu Book VI: -Over 50 chests opened -Over 150 chests opened -Over 300 chests opened -Over 50 casks/boxes destroyed -Over 100 casks/boxes destroyed -Over 200 casks/boxes destroyed -Over 5 gott statues visited -Over 15 gott statues visited Ryu Book VII: -Over 5 symbols activated -Over 10 symbols activated -Over 20 symbols activated -Over 5 encounters with Monsieur -Over 10 encounters with Monsieur -Over 5 encounters with Grandpa -Over 10 encounters with Grandpa Ryu Book VIII: -Over 50 grunty food obtained -All types of grunty food obtained
