Dr. Lubetz/Luveno : a scientist who helped Alis in her quest in Phantasy Star I
making the battles quicker
since macros only target the far-left foe (and since Alys is quicker than Chaz), I had to enter commands manually.
Chaz +1 level (level 2)
stopping by Miles so I can come back later for a sidequest
Ashline is mentionned. It was used to cure Odin from petrification in Phantasy Star I
stopping by Krup, otherwise I can't warp to/from it.

dropping by Aeido to warp there later for the hunter's quests and also to buy a shortcake for one of the missions
dropping by Kadary to warp there again later.
fighting the Shawdowsabr to get its shadowblade.
Hahn isn't of any use to me.
because the Shadowsabr is so quick, I need someone to attack them so they cast deban instead.
Chaz +1 level (level 4, obtains tsu). Rika +3 levels (level 4, obtains double slash).
obtained a laser claw.
equiped Chaz with the shadowblade, boosting is mental to 255, since it can't be -1.
Gryz isn't of any use to me.
that's what 255 mental does, especially to « evil » monsters.
Chaz' dexterity is 254, making him hit critically all the time.
Chaz has to die in order to keep his mental so high.
Rika +6 levels (level 10, obtained saner)
notice that Rika is pushing the party :p
escaping, although it fails, was quicker than anything else.

another remix from Phantasy Star I dungeon music.
Frade mantle, Lutz' best armour in Phantasy Star I
Gryz is of no use to me
had to slow down his massacring of our team a little.
although Rika is inactive, the macro was only one command to enter.
Rika +2 levels (level 12, got eliminate).
since Gryz is the slowest one, he's the one using the psycho-wand in the macro.
still no use for Gryz...

since Raja's defense is so high, it's the only way to kill him.
Rika +1 level (level 21).
another boss weak against instant death
Wren +1 level (level 21).
looks like Raja might be right about the Garuberk tower...

Lutz, the magician who joined Alis on her quest in Phantasy Stay I.
Esper Mansion, where Rolf met Lutz in Phantasy Star II.
Elsydeon, a sword so well hidden and old no one ever heard about it...

Rune +2 levels (level 23, got gigra).
can finally cross the barrier...
this is the exact same layout of Lassic's castle in Phantasy Star I.
oops, wrong torch
Lassic/Lashiec, the 2nd last boss in Phantasy Star I. He uses pretty much the same attack.
Lashiec's attack is a physical one, necessiting proper defense.
he casts possession every odd round. Lashiec's attack is a physical one, necessiting proper defense.

shooting star = burstroc+foi spells (in that order) he casts possession every odd round.

second last mission : defeat out-of -control robots
the robots seem obsessed with Wren...

last mission : rescue shopaholic girls and make no net profit out of it
one last healing trip before going after the prism
in regular gameplay, you get to notice that Seth has skills such as corrosion, death spell and shadowbind...

first form
it requires a lot of manipulation to make sure the first 2 forms die with just enough damage

even though she was dead, Demi gained levels against Propallu. It was worth it
