Someone requested a Sword Of Hope II FAQ so here it is. If I get some feedback on it, I will update. If I get a lot of feedback, then I will put up this gigantic monster chart I made. Anyway here goes. _________________________________________________________________________ 2. Character Spell Lists
Not very complete at the moment, but will be soon.
Nina and Bogi: Does not learn spells. _________________________________________________________________________ 3. FAQ
Where is the Dragon Scale?
After defeating the Fire Dragon, Bogi will be consumed, but manages to throw you two items, one of which is the Dragon Scale. Take it to the Blacksmith on Farb Island and sell it to him, then head over to the shop next door for the new Dragon Armor and Dragon Shield, which each have the best defense ratings for their respective types of equipment.
Why does the Fire Dragon knock me back 3 spaces?
The details will be a little sketchy because it sure has been a while, but anyway you should search the area around there for stuff like the Sword of Earth and Tritrium, and I believe the space you want is near the Tritrium. There will be a wall in front of you and a hole. Go into the hole, it should look like ash is around you, and then Look around. Then Hit around a few times and it will say you felt something. Look around again and you will find the Veil which protects you from the Fire Dragon's blast and allows you to fight him. _________________________________________________________________________ 4. Basic Tips
Constantly Look and Hit stuff, especially trees. If you see Bonk, then you will not get anything. If you see Thud, then you probably have found something! After about three to five tries, the thing you are hitting or looking at will no longer give you an item regardless. Look and Hit stuff, because just doing one will not get both items.
Do not take the Red Stones on Nuku Island, they will cause you to lose HP.
The Tritrium is somewhere east of the Red Dragon's lair in the Nekojara Volcano in a wall.
Before a character leaves you, take all of their stuff off so you can sell it later.
Use the Pliers on the shells in the Pixies' Cave to find Gem Stones.
In the eastern part of Rod's Village, knock down the Bee Hive to receive some Honey. Go northwest to find a Bear. Give him the Honey to receive a Fishing Pole. You can use this to catch Fish at the nearby streams, but here the chain seems to end.
In my opinion, the best armor and shield is the Speed Armor and Speed Shield.
The ultimate spell in the game is Empower/Enfeeble or Fortify/Weaken. Cast it and you cannot lose! This works incredibly well against the final bosses. Atomize is nice but simply does not have that kind of firepower.
In the Bonn Casino, wait until the numbers flash by the 8, and then right afterward, the 6. Each of these numbers are in the second row from the top. Wait for the next time the flashing light starts to go through the cycle, and then hit the button quickly after the flashing light leaves the second row from the bottom. If you hit it at just the right time, you will receive a Cane of Destruction! If you hit it too early, you will receive a Cane of Lightning, and a Cane of Frost if you are too late. Timing and learning the pattern is everything. No matter what though, this is the #1 way to make some quick and easy money.
The Comfort equipment is a joke, do not buy/equip it!
The Fruit of Trent can be found by hitting the Trent Tree after talking to it. It is located one section to the north and west of the entrance to Rod's Woods. To my knowledge that is the only way to gain a Fruit of Trent, save it for right before your battle with Zakdos. You can gain a total of three Fruit of Trent at the Trent Tree.
Some walls can be knocked down in the Underground Temple Desert to make secret passageways. Try sprinkling Jaghi's Ashes on all three of the statues too.
Hit the stains on the wall in the Ancient Temple to fight a Ghost for an Herb or Wheat.
The Miracle Sword increases the chance of a critical hit for you, but also the chances of a mortal hit for the enemies you face. _______________________________________________________________________ 5. Boss Guide
