Chapter 32 Reaper's Ship More...

ITEMS TO GET: Penguin Coat, B&JM10S Ammo, SurvivalTent, Cabin Key, Silver Beret, ShotG60 Ammo

   Leave the Orphanage and you'll automatically return to the Yggdrasil. Go to the gun room and talk to Sigurd. Once he leaves, talk to Billy (also in the gun room) and he'll explain how to use his guns (if you don't get it, read the Guns And Ammo section under Playing The Game). Billy then joins, and you have to pick one character to bring along; choose Citan. Now that you have Billy, things get a lot easier, not only are his attacks powerful (and cool-looking), he has all the healing magic. Also, if you go back to Margie's room, Primera will be there; talk to her for a brief scene (she'll also repeat the gun info if you need it).

   While you're still on the Yggdrasil, go back to Maison's shop, which is now carrying the stuff they had back on the Thames. Buy a healthy stock of Zetasols, and check to see if there's any equipment upgrades you can make (don't worry about buying ammo for Billy; you'll get plenty from defeated enemies). You can also buy stuff at the Gear shop, though you won't be using your Gears for a while.

   Go to the room outside the bridge and climb up the ladder onto the Solaris transport. This area is great for building up experience; the enemies (Abandons and Wels) are both easy to beat, and Billy's healing magic lets you stay in for a long time. Use this time to help get any characters who are lacking in Deathblows (Elly in particular, but also Bart and Rico) at least their first five.

   To get through the actual dungeon; head north into the transport and jump at the crates to knock them down. Go north and flip the light switch on the east wall. Jump at the next set of crates to knock them down, then knock over the crates to your west. Go that way and pick up a PenguinCoat from the chest. Now climb up the ladder onto the roof of the transport.

   Up here, you'll fight more Wels, as well as Shellbelles, who begin every battle by putting your characters to sleep. Once Billy wakes up, have him cast Purity Light to wake up the other characters. Anyway, head north to the next "car" and go down the ladder. Pick up the B&JM10S Ammo from the chest and equip it on Billy, then go south. Dodge the swinging cocoons (though it doesn't seem to hurt you if you touch them) and flick the switch on the east wall. This will open the door back to the first car, and allow you access to the save point. Pick up the SurvivalTent from the chest just to the south, then exit north to the third "car".

   Check the first room on the west for a funny little sequence, then collect the Cabin Key from the room just across the hall. Next, drop in the second room on the west for a Silver Beret, and finally get the ShotG60 Ammo (better shotgun ammo) from the third room on the left. Use the Cabin Key to unlock the door at the end of the hallway. It won't open, however, so you'll have to charge it. Back up a little and run into the door (with the Circle button). It will shake a little. Repeat until the door is smashed down. Continue north to the next ladder and ascend.

   If you're still rolling up points, turn back now; the boss is ahead. If you're here for business, you should have Billy, Elly, and Citan in your party. Go north and use the save point at the rear of the ship, then head south a little and jump through the open chute. As soon as you land, you'll be attacked by Bloody.

   Bloody is really just Redrum all over again (he even looks the same), so fight him the same way: have Citan use Renki, then Suiseii to give you all defense against Bloody Rain, then attack. Citan should use his best Deathblow, which should do a lot of damage. Billy should also attack, but be careful not to use his right-hand Ether gun (the one with the fire ammo in it), it will heal Bloody. Just use his Tr,Tr,Tr,X Deathblow and you'll be fine. As for Elly, have her cast Aqua Ice; Bloody is weak against water. Bloody uses Murder a lot more than his cousin, so keep using those Zetasols. You now have the advantage of Billy's healing Ethers, though (plus Bloody doesn't confuse you), so in general he's actually easier.

   After you defeat Bloody, there will be a bit of weird dialogue. Exit to the south and there will be a cute sequence in which Billy's Gear, Renmazuo, appears. You then have to fight a Gear battle against a Giant Wels. It has an incredibly high defense and is consequently immune to any physical attacks. Use Renmazuo's Ether guns, and when it reaches attack level 2, use the Square, Triangle Deathblow. Elly should cast Thermo Dragon, which do will over 1000 damage, in addition to making the Wels grow. Every time it grows, it will become stronger, but its defense will go down. Keep this pattern up and eventually you will be able to hurt it with physical attacks, at which point the battle is almost over. Finish it off with Heimdal's Deathblows.
