ITEMS TO GET: None

   Inside the Eldridge, you'll get a chance to make a new party. Put Chu-Chu and two other characters of your choice in, then exit the menu to fight Deus. This is a really weird battle, as you can't actually fight Deus -- every time you hit it, it heals itself, so don't attack it. Instead, just sit back and charge fuel, while Chu-Chu takes cares of the healing (if one of the Gears gets seriously hurt, use your Frame HP to heal). Every one in a while, Deus will use a spell to halve everyone's HP, include its own. After it does this three times, it will be down to 5,000 HP, so just finish it off with a strong attack. Watch out; it will counterattack whomever killed it for about 12,000 HP.

   After you fight Deus, you will automatically proceed to the core of the Eldridge, where you encounter Krelian's gang. You'll have to fight Grahf in his Alpha Weltall; this is one of those fights you can't win (since Grahf does about 10,000-15,000 HP damage with each attack). Just let him crush you and you'll be taken captive.
