_______________________________________________________________________________JOB OVERVIEW [JBRV]_______________________________________________________________________________

Jobs are the essence of ATL3, and are heavily relied upon, both for developingthe story and gaining items/goz. They can be either puzzle-solving, battle--oriented, dialogue missions, or a combination of each. Most have no bearing

on the story, but storyline jobs progress the plot and have to be done whetherone likes it or not. [NOTE: Sometimes storyline jobs tear Alec away from thelocal ones he's working on. Make sure to complete all low-level jobs beforecontinuing!]

GUILD : Location of the guild CLIENT: Client who is petitioning this job MERITS: # of merits received for job complete REWARD: Amount of $$ (goz) received for job complete UNLOCK: Conditions that will make this job available

I will also note that, depending on how Alec and his team perform during thejob, the merits/reward can decrease. "Job Failed" rankings earn nothing,

while "Job Incomplete" offers few in either of the two said portions. It'salways best to save before attempting a job, particularly those that come w/a warning from the local guildmaster.

_______________________________________________________________________________JOB 01 - HUNTER REGISTRATION TEST [JB01]_______________________________________________________________________________

"This is technically a test and not a job. The Hunter Registration Test requires prospective hunters to retrieve a fragment of the Ghost DreamCrystal from the Trial Cave."

GUILD : Itio CLIENT: Itio Guild MERITS: 5 REWARD: --- UNLOCK: ---

The Trial Cave is towards the riverhead, where the waterfall is on the worldmap.

Make sure you have all the supplies you need (equipment, Herbs) before settingfoot into here, 'cause you can't leave once you go in. Two screens in behindthe waterfall, there's a stall battle.

.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.| Lv. 5 Slime | HP: 15 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 10 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 || Lv. 2 Cave Bat | HP: 15 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 5 |------------------'| Lv. 5 Sidewinder | HP: 26 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 6 |'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'

If your characters are LV5+, this will be gravy. Take out the slime and cavebats (two each) first since they'll go down in one hit, and tango with theSidewinder snake when it nears. It can do a bit of damage, but nothing thatCure can't smooth over. Use the various rocks and obstacles to prevent foesfrom flanking you or snippin' at your aft side. Cave Bats heal themselves ifthey land an attack (~10 HP), so don't let 'em wander around ciphoning health.

After battle, take the east enemy-less passage to two treasure chests. One'sgot an [IRON KNIFE] and the other contains an [HERB]. Note that you'll have tofight the same enemy group above once more, this time from the eastern side ofthe room! Continue north from that first fork and get the [PALO NUT] stuck ina rocky chest. This leads to a second battlesite.

.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.| Lv. 2 Cave Bat | HP: 15 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 5 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |

| Lv. 5 Sidewinder | HP: 26 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 6 |------------------''------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'


5/88

Two of each this time, with the Sidewinders nearest. One long-range attack ofthrowing knives lets Alec finish 'em off, so there's no xtreme strategy one'sto employ here. You can probably finish off the cave bats with a singlecounterattack. Just defend the first turn (idle) and don't bother advancing tothe southern portion of the room because stalagmites and such block the clearpath. One weird thing I noticed is that if a cave bat absorbs HP and someonecounters it, even if it should be dead, that HP it absorbed keeps it alive...

Heal up and continue south to the Trial Cave's B2-A floor.

.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.| Lv. 2 Cave Bat | HP: 15 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 5 | DIFFICULTY: 1/10 || Lv. 5 Sidewinder | HP: 26 | MP: 0 | ATK: 30 | DEF: 6 |------------------''------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'

Same as before except with one less Sidewinder. Take that out first and bashsome skulls on the bats. It's easy fights like that make me not want to stickin a strategy...

Continue north to an west/east fork. Go east first and into the room with thelarge pit in the middle. Get an [IRON SPEAR] for your troubles and continuenorth until another fork is found. Continue east into a room with four chests!Two [SHIMMER STONE]s, a [FALCON STATUE], and a [PALO NUT] can be found within.Back at the fork, take the other one that curves north and back west. This'lllead to a room with two savepoints. The red one refills HP/MP and the other'sa normal one. Before you continue, take the southern exit here until it comesto another room...

.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.| Lv. 6 Ogre | HP: 40 | MP: 60 | ATK: 39 | DEF: 5 | DIFFICULTY: 3/10 || Lv. 5 Sidewinder | HP: 26 | MP: -- | ATK: 30 | DEF: 6 |------------------''------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'

A little harder than normal with the inclusion of Ogres, who may cast a couplemagic spells. They start near each other, so defeat the nearest Sidewinder tomake sure they don't all tag-team someone at once. This is a good battle touse Force Ring in, although any enemies that get killed by other monsters donot give EXP to your allies. Ogres have horrible defense as you can see, so itisn't a trial to take one down each round. Lutz can use 'Steal' (learned atLV7) to take Herbs from the big pink monsters if he needs to.

Take the [SHIMMER STONE] from the chest and backtrack to the savepoints. Raidthe chest for another [SHIMMER STONE]. Inspect the large crystalline door byhere and choose to push on it, which opens the thing. Inside is the crystal'skeeper, Tengaron...who's also the same guy who was at the guild earlier...

.------------------.---------.--------.---------.----------.------------------.| Lv. 8 Tengaron | HP: 155 | MP: 50 | ATK: 40 | DEF: 7 | DIFFICULTY: 4/10 |'------------------'---------'--------'---------'----------'------------------'

A boss who uses guns and doesn't summon minions to do his legwork -- I likethis dude's style! His attack can do roughly about the same as an Ogre (~20),but he's got a range of two so he'll try not to let anyone counterattack himif possible. Don't stand next to each other since this means he can obviouslyattack two people at once! Use Alec's Cure to get through, and have Lutz tryto steal a 'Fur Cape' from him. You should have plenty of opportunities if theaverage party level is 8+. Should you find this hard, fight the ogre battles

and return to the healing point repeatedly.

Tengaron allows the party to get a [CRYSTAL FRAGMENT] from this most holiest


6/88

of holy sites (to him), so it's time to scoot back to Itio. Everyone leavesthe cave automatically, anyway.

_______________________________________________________________________________JOB 02 - PROTECT MEDICINAL SUPPLIES [JB02]_______________________________________________________________________________

"The town herbologist, Lendal, has requested that his house be guarded whilehe is away on business. See Lendal at his home in Itio for details."

GUILD : Itio CLIENT: Lendal MERITS: 6 REWARD: 80G UNLOCK: ---

Lendal's house is in Itio, southwest of the guild headquarters. The game'll

direct you to it, but if you forget, it's the one with a pink mailbox. There,it seems that his crates have to be guarded since they're full of valuable &rare plantlife...and it's babysitting time for his kid, Kobal! After a faileddrug dropoff (LOL?), there will be some mice in the crates. Time for a.......MINIGAME!

The mice will jump around the four boxes here. Use the x-button in front ofthe crate where it was last to catch it. You need to catch all three mice inthe space of 5 tries to get the best outcome for this job. It's rather easy,as long as you can follow the last box with your eyes (this isn't similar towhack-a-mole or anything). LOL @ "Grab that freak!" If you accomplish thisjob to a satisfactory degree, Lendal gives Alec an [HERB] as thanks.

_______________________________________________________________________________JOB 03 - SUPPLIES FOR HUNTER JAY [JB03]_______________________________________________________________________________

"We have received an emergency request for supplies from the Wanted MonsterSpecialist known as Jay. He is at Kiska Marsh or the Lukae Riverbank."

GUILD : Itio CLIENT: Itio Guild MERITS: 6 REWARD: 100G UNLOCK: ---

Jay needs some supplies, being a Vigor Seed and Adventurer Vest. The cost ofthe items is worked into the bounty, which translates to the player's got toshell out the cash to get 'em him/herself. The guildmaster gives [120G] overso Alec doesn't "stream in his shorts" though. Go to the shop in the SE partof town and buy said items; if you already have one or both, then you won'tneed to purchase them.

He can be found at Lukae Riverbank, but you can pick either. If you visithim at Kiska Marsh, he won't be there and you'll have to tango with some ofthe local wildlife.

.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.|Lv. 7 Pit Scorpion| HP: 11 | MP: 20 | ATK: 38 | DEF: 15 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |


7/88

|Lv. 5 Slime | HP: 15 | MP: -- | ATK: 30 | DEF: 10 |------------------''------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'

The Pit Scorpion's got great defense, so make sure Alec takes that one out ifyou want it to go down in one hit. The Slimes are like jell-o and anything'llcut 'em up. Yawn? Just remember that Pit Scorpions can use an attack that caninflict 'Gravity' status.

If you visit Jay at Lukae Riverbank, he won't be there either...

.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.|Lv.6 SlumberFlower| HP: 33 | MP: 30 | ATK: 32 | DEF: 06 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 |'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'------------------'

Just a couple of baddies. The difficulty rating goes to reflect that they canslam the allies in the vicinity with sleep status, but they've still got poordefense. Tag-team 'em to take 'em out.

After defeating those at Lukae, Jay shows up! Say that you've brought his junk

for him, and hand the seed/vest over.

_______________________________________________________________________________JOB 04 - NASTY CREATURES IN THE HOUSE [JB04]_______________________________________________________________________________

"A client named Nate has requested help in a vacant house he owns in Itio. Heis having trouble with monsters and would like them removed ASAP. Contact Nateat the house for details."

GUILD : Itio

CLIENT: Nate MERITS: 7 REWARD: 120G UNLOCK: ---

The Vacant House is right next door to the guild (spooky!) and looks all rundown and such. It turns out that the 'blood-red eyes and fangs' the client'sseeing through the floorboards are not demonic creatures, but mice! Yeah, itis another mice job. There are seven holes and seven boxes to plug them upwith...but you can only PUSH boxes, meaning this can mess up pretty easily.If you mess up, use the triangle button and 'Reset' the room to its defaultformation. Here's the order you should plug the holes.

01) From where Alec starts, push box he's looking at north.02) Push box that was right beside that one left until it's on HOLE #103) On the right side of room push opened crate north and east onto HOLE #204) By staircase, push the box left onto HOLE #305) Push the box by the counter south once, then one right of there south to where the entrance is. Push it right onto HOLE #406) Push the box NW of the large table north and left onto HOLE #507) Push the box north of the large table west once, north as far as it will go, and right once onto HOLE #608) The only box left should be near the left counter. Push it south once and east until it's against the wall. Push it north onto HOLE #7.

Nate comes downstairs after and the job is el completo.

JOB 05 - EXAMINER'S ASSISTANT [JB05]_______________________________________________________________________________

"Four prospective Hunters have come to take the Hunter Registration Test. TheGuild examiner seeks a Hunter to help with the proceed. Hunter accepting job

must leave at once."

GUILD : Itio CLIENT: Itio Guild MERITS: 8 REWARD: 100G UNLOCK: Complete one job at Itio Guild

Time to help Tengalon with some wussy hunter recruits. Luckily, you don't haveto backtrack into the Trial Cave manually. Some selfish-minded people want tobe Hunters, so the caped guardian decides that Lutz and Alec can take care ofthings themselves. Whuh?

.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.| Lv. 7 Swordsman | HP: 30 | MP: 20 | ATK: 43 | DEF: 07 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 || Lv. 7 Apprentice | HP: 15 | MP: 140| ATK: 26 | DEF: 05 |------------------''------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'

Two of each here. Go for the Apprentices first since they can use magic andwon't spare any snot-nosed kid who gets in their way from seein' some. On thealternative path, use Alec's Silent magic if you have it to stop 'em in theirtracks. The Swordsmen will use Empower to raise their ATK, so don't hesitateto use Silent on them as well! They can do 30+ damage if let run rampant, sowhatever you do, don't let them gang up! Use the two rocks in the center ofthe battlefield for protection. You can steal Bronze Swords from the armored

units, but really, those suck and are wastes of time anyway.

Defeat them all and the job's over.

_______________________________________________________________________________JOB 06 - CHASE THE MONSTER EGG TRUNK [JB06]_______________________________________________________________________________

"The Innkeeper in Itio accidentally mixed up a guest's trunk with onecontaining a monster egg. Contact client to correct dangerous mistake."

GUILD : Itio CLIENT: Innkeeper Balpus MERITS: 8 REWARD: 150G UNLOCK: Complete two jobs at the Itio Guild

As the guildmaster warns, this job will prevent you from doing any others inItio. ONLY ACCEPT IF YOU HAVE DONE ALL OTHER JOBS and/or HAVE COMPLETED ALLTHE OUTLAW JOBS! You'll not be able to do them again. To continue with thismission, go to the inn and talk to the innkeeper. He's accidentally switcheda trunk with someone who was headed to Forestamore (someone you should befamiliar with if you played Arc the Lad 1 or 2). Obtain the [GUEST'S TRUNK]

and exit in the southwest corner of the city to find Itio Port.

Unfortunately, as some pirate wannabe tells everyone, the ship can't sail 'til


9/88

the captain is back. Go to the pub (down street from port entrance) and fetchthe guy from Shante's captive audience, then return back to the ship. Prepare(buy equipment, items you need) and tell him you're ready to carve up some ofthe high seas.

The job is complete after reaching Renn and visiting the Monster Society.

_______________________________________________________________________________JOB 07 - FETCH THE RUNAWAY BOY [JB07]_______________________________________________________________________________

"The Monster Society reports Theo, a young aspiring Cardist, left to exploreSealed Ruins near the Great Scar, alone. The Guild requests his safe return."

GUILD : Renn CLIENT: Renn Monster Society MERITS: 9

REWARD: 180G UNLOCK: Mandatory

After visiting the Monster Society, visit the guild. Alec and Lutz cannot gountil they've accepted this job. The guildmaster suggests going back to theRMS to learn about the best way for infiltrating the ruins, while the womanwho was worried about Theo says the destination is past Venica. Head up theto the cliffside, where the Great Scar is accessible.

---

Theo is trapped on a small ledge, so Lutz finds a vine to lower everyone downand get him. They escort him inside the Sealed Ruins. There is a puzzle shift

thing to do with Theo here, which is INCREDIBLY LAME and one of my leastfavorite things to do ever. Use [] to rotate the tiles left, and O to rotatethem right. Use R1 to put a numerical overlay to see where the pieces go.Speaking of which, they should be arranged like:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

Use the Triangle button to restart. The easiest way to do this is to put thethe pieces in the corner, starting with 1, and go left to right. If you getstuck, remember that you can stand on the edge and switch two at once. I foundthat this problem (having two tiles left that are screwed up) is easily doneby this. Don't forget!

Theo will get Cardish Powers and the Summon ability for completing this smallpuzzle. Return back to the chief outside to find he's being circled by someSlumber Flowers!

.------------------.---------.--------.---------.----------.------------------.|Lv6 Slumber Flower| HP: 33 | MP: 30 | ATK: 32 | DEF: 06 | DIFFICULTY: 1/10 |'------------------'---------'--------'---------'----------'------------------'

Four-on-three matchup, huh? Yeah, Theo's in this fight this time. Use Cardish

to turn the monster into a card, and that's that. Easy-peasy junk.

JOB 08 - RENN HUNTERS' MONSTER ASSAULT [JB08]_______________________________________________________________________________

"Corelia Pass is being overrun with monsters. The Hunters in Renn areoverwhelmed and request assistance. Hunters accepting the job must leave

immediately."

GUILD : Renn CLIENT: Renn Hunter Guild MERITS: 8 REWARD: 200G UNLOCK: Complete Great Scar events and get Theo in the party

Alec's crew and the other hunters participating head to the pass rendezvouspoint. He'll act as a last resort to prevent monsters from getting throughCorelia, and soon enough, an Opossum appears. o_O

.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.| Lv. 1 Opossum | HP: 18 | MP: 08 | ATK: 24 | DEF: 05 | DIFFICULTY: 1/10 |'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'------------------'

It'll probably die in one hit, so there's no reason giving a strategy.

One of the female hunters says she'll ask Aura, the leader of the excursion,to move everyone closer to the blood 'n' guts near the frontline. Lutz, beingthe headstrong dork he is, leaves to go fight and draws some enemies closer.

.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.| Lv. 02 Viper | HP: 24 | MP: -- | ATK: 26 | DEF: 06 | DIFFICULTY: 4/10 || Lv. 13 Wild Dog | HP: 47 | MP: -- | ATK: 68 | DEF: 08 |------------------'

'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'

The Wild Dogs have poor defense but their ATK can do 35+ to a target! Whateveryou do, don't let them gang up on someone, especially Theo, who is probably inhis single-digit levels still. The wolfies are closer to the front, so draw'em close, attack them from two panels away, and let Alec finish 'em off. UseHerbs to heal, or Alec's Cure spell for multiple targets.

Job complete after this battle, and some scenes w/ Aura.

_______________________________________________________________________________JOB 09 - MODEL FOR A TROUBLED PAINTER [JB09]_______________________________________________________________________________

"The Inn owner, Dan, seeks assistance for his guest, Girth, a talented youngpainter suffering from creative block. Respond to the Inn to model for Girthand offer artistic advice."

GUILD : Renn CLIENT: Innkeeper Dan MERITS: 5 REWARD: 160G UNLOCK: Complete Great Scar events and get Theo in the party

The inn's in the northwest corner of town. Once there, learn that Girth wantedsome 'sea air' -- i.e., return to the dock area. This will begin a minigame to


11/88

give him some creative spark. Pressing one of three buttons commands the partymembers to move about in an effort to strike up a correct pose for Girth. Alecis commanded with [], Theo with X, and Lutz with O. When Girth calls out theally name, press the button it's associated with to move him. You need to getit perfect (about 10-15 inputs) to move onto the 2nd and 3rd rounds which workthe same way. The one good thing is that the inputs never change their patternand they get progressively shorter.

If you fail too many times (four?), you fail the job.

_______________________________________________________________________________JOB 10 - CHASE AWAY THE SUSPICIOUS MAN [JB10]_______________________________________________________________________________

"A strange man has been prowling around Mina's house, watching her. She wouldlike him contacted and removed. See Mina for details, at her home near theguild."

GUILD : Renn CLIENT: City Girl Mina MERITS: 7 REWARD: 170G UNLOCK: Complete Great Scar events and get Theo in the party

Mina's house is just down the street, west of the guild. She wants Alec andcompany to play bodyguard and stand watch outside her house. After a coupleof events, everyone heads to Noalis Forest nearby. A suspicious man fleeswhen he sees monsters, so it's up to the party to take of 'em.

.------------------.--------.--------.----------.----------.------------------.

| Lv13 Crimson Roc | HP: 38 | MP: 25 | ATK: 56 | DEF: 07 | DIFFICULTY: 2/10 || Lv12 Poison Slime| HP: 23 | MP: 20 | ATK: 48 | DEF: 15 |------------------'| Lv1PoisonMushroom| HP: 24 | MP: 16 | ATK: 22 | DEF: 06 |'------------------'--------'--------'----------'----------'

Two of each, except for the roc. Wait about one turn to get the enemies intoa group and use Knife Rain/Force Ring/Silent to help incapacitate their skillsin one go. If Theo's low-leveled, keep him out of the fray 'cause he's a largedamage magnet...unless you've got a particularly powerful Summon he can do.Try and Cardish the Roc if you want it, but hurry, because it can inflict theparty members with Silence.

After the ruckus, 27-year-old Spicy reveals himself as the stalker! LOL x 99!Either way, job complete-o.

| HP/MP | ATK/DEF |.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.| Lv. 18 Rainbow Bridge Gang (x2) | 54/48 | 52/08 | DIFFICULTY: 1/10 || Lv. 18 Rainbow Bridge Gang (x3) | 54/64 | 52/08 |------------------''-------------------------------------'---------'---------'

The Chief ends up leaving his men to do the footwork, and they block the

west end of the bridge...this'll be a close-range fight. They have a largegun radius and can hit multiple targets at once AND you can't counter theirgunshot blasts, even at one panel away. They're also immune to Silence andConfusion (but don't hesitate to use Force Ring for the widespread damage ifyou need to). They mostly use physical attacks, but the red-colored banditscan use 'Circle Riot' to hit allies around them in a large radius for about35 HP. I've found the best way is to use Cardish on an Ogre at Noalis Forestand summon it in battle, doing about 40 damage to all allies. Since they'llclump together on the second turn, you can take out the rest with Knife Rainor similar pretty easily. Definitely use this strategy if you're having sometrouble!!! [NOTE: The green bandits can only shoot in a straight fashion.]

After kicking the bandits' rumps, they leave after some lame philsophizing.

CLIENT: Girth the Artist MERITS: 5 REWARD: 170G UNLOCK: Appears after completing Job #11 - "New Parent for the Baby Monster"

Take a trip down to the local watering hole to find Girth in the north partof town. It seems he's wants a woman named Leimi to model for him again, butshe's not on speaking terms with him after the previous time. Lutz will goover there in an attempt to persuade her, meaning he has to pick the rightlines...err, the player does. Choose the following:

? "Excuse me" ? "Model for a picture" ? "You're perfect for a model" ? "No! It's true!" ? "Please model!"

There are a few do-overs, but really, you shouldn't be able to mess this oneup -- all the correct options are the ones at the top of the list! Girth andLeimi will make amends and the job's complete. Oh, these non-violence jobs'reso fun!

Talk to Baguba in the shop to get the [MYSTERIOUS OBJECT]. Apparently, theitem society is in...Society Village.

The chief won't give the card over unless three other cards are traded, beinga Hemo-ji, Dandelion, and Slime. However, you can't go back to the previouscontinent to get the cards, so you'll have to do some in-town trading.

DANDELION - Talk to Hannah in Vernica, then go to the Great Scar and Cardish one. Be careful; it's Lv. 19! Use Force Ring to lower its HP and then turn it into a card. =p ? SLIME - The sailor at the docks has the Slime card but wants the party to give him a hand before they get it. Loading some clay jars and wooden boxes will occur -- Alec will have to

The guy says that stolen stuff ends up in the Danger Dome, so head down overthere (in the SE part of town, which you're already aware of).

applicable fighter here. .---------.---------. | HP/MP | ATK/DEF |.-------------------------------------+---------+---------+------------------.| Lv. 17 Spear Hunter | 101/100 | 58/06 | DIFFICULTY: 4/10 |'-------------------------------------'---------'---------'------------------'

Theo's stats aren't exactly top-notch, but Card Field can boost his defenseso that regular attacks do lame single-digit damage. The hunter's Spear Tossability can do ~17 if Theo has 48 defense. Use a powerful offensive summoncard such as 'Wild Dog' to deal your damage, rather than using physicalattacks which can be countered since he's got a spear. Also make sure to back

up against the railing so the hunter can't jab Theo from behind. Make sureyou use Card Field or you'll find yourself in a bad position!

After winning, you'll receive the [SILVER SARISSA] and automatically deliverit to the woman. However, even though she accepts the spear, everyone thinksit's NOT the right one. So, let's search for the real one then... This time,go to the pub near the guild. A guy there will have the spear, and wants youto fight him in the Danger Dome to get it back. Theo'll be the one fightingalone, again (I bet another Bronze Sword...lol?).

He'll probably get first strike and do ~30dmg, but follow the same path asyou did before: Card Field -> offensive card summon. When you run out ofthose, use physical attacks. Note that if you're having trouble healing, youcan create Amazing Herbs that refill 100 HP in Society Village by mixing tworegular Herbs. If you can't manage that, back up against the fence to preventback attacks (the corner works best).

Once he's defeated, you'll get Peter's real spear. Rush back to the suicidalwoman (why give her a weapon in the first place?) and she'll brighten up atthe site of the thing. Job completeeee! Plus, she gives the [SILVER SARISSA]back to Theo as a present. Yay!

Noye can strike for apx.30 damage (on my Lv. 20 Alec), while his 'Sword Dance' maneuver can do about45 damage. Cast Silent to prevent that pesky maneuver and try to attack with

Force Ring, since Noye can counterattack...and probably will. This joker canbe confused as well, so make sure to inflict it if possible. Remember: shewho is confused may waste her turn doing nothing, plus her counterattackingratio seems to go down (if he can do it at all!). Seriously, using Force Ringis a ticket to victory here.

The easiest way to defeat these guys within four turns is to use Theo's

Since HP/MP is depleting each active turn, you'll want to make the most of

what you have so you can finish this quickly. Use Card Field and Silent tohelp tip the odds in your favor, then use Force Ring to inflict confusion.Remember that enemies under confused status may 'forget' to do anything ina turn, which helps since physical attacks incurred can do 50+! If you'relucky, the enemy will attack its comrade and OHKO it by doing 80+ damage!Use Amazing Herbs and Alec's Cure ability to heal en masse, and this may notbe such a problem in the latter turns. Oh, and you can use Cardish to helptake some of the load off. Yay!

To show there's no hard feelings, Dorvan attempts to sell the party a bunchof junk weapons, Apple Extract, and some other crap for 100G.

All their attack stats are buffed, which is why gaining the upper hand iscrucial before they can gang up on a single character.

You've had plenty of chances to make Emblem of Larks out of Rue's Medicines,or find them, so this shouldn't be any problem. Like before, ghost types candrain HP through their physical attacks, so take them out as quickly as youcan.

Again, you're going for alacrity here, so kick out any powerful summons Theohas and use Force Ring/Napalm Bomb/Knife Rain to damage multiple targets. AGolem summon can kill everything on the field, actually! Alba fights his waythrough in two turns, so try to match him.

Use Knife Rain/Force Ring right off the bat even if you can only hit two orso enemies, as we're going against the clock. If you have another Golem cardto summon, do so; if not, hope that a confused enemy aids you by attacking

its own comrade (which is a OHKO, of course). Finish it up in about 2 turnsfor the best effect.

A rather boring battle, since you fought these as regular enemies coming to

South Sularto. Try to Cardish a Golem or two if you can, since they're verypowerful summons. Besides that, take out the Golem Master as quickly as youpossibly can to avoid its "Land Ax" attack which can deal 30+ damage to alarge area. There's no time limit on this battle, at least in relation tothe bet, so wipe the floor with these nerds at your own pace.

If you used less than eleven turns to get through all the battles, excludingthe last one, you'll win the bet and get a job complete! Have fun walking outon your own......NOT!

The charm invalidates weapon-attack damage, meaning one'll have to rely onskills to do any headway. Luckily, Knife Rain/Force Ring are perfect for thistype of situation. The tortoises have more defense than any monsters you'vehad to face so far, but if you can inflict Confusion, all the better. CardField will help as well. If Lutz knows Fatal Dagger, you might get lucky w/that. Feel free to Cardish any monster as well, and watch out for thoseRocs' ability to inflict Silence. You don't want all outlets of attack to befouled up, right?

GUILD : Paysus CLIENT: Paysus Guild MERITS: 10 REWARD: 200G UNLOCK: Available when coming to Paysus the first time (it's mandatory)

The guildmaster says this Tikva is a little older than Alec and very bright,using the ruse of a job to steal the scroll. Since the monks helped rebuildPaysus, everyone owes them an unpayable debt -- that's why the town is in anuproar. Well, let's begin.

First, visit Tikva's House in the northeastern part of town. The leader of

this capture expedition will ask Alec to visit the temple and get detailson the how and why of this situation, and also drops a hint that Tikva wentto the Spell Institute in Rusaht. Stroll to the temple first to learn theculprit cast a spell on the monks in order to make off with the artifact.

Down in Rusaht's college, a man directs everyone to talk to Marsia about the"strange spell" that was used. She'll "join" the party after some events, andthen it's back to Amaidar. This time, the Archmonk Iga (another person fromATL2) allows passage inside. Apparently, Tikva told the monks that a monsterhad broken into the temple and when someone say him stealing the scroll, hewas overcome by a strange force. In a flashback, it shows Tikva using somesort of handheld device to drain strength from the monks (and where have weseen those who use such things...hmm...).

Return to the Institute to find the professors sprawled out on the floor.Tikva will incapacitate everyone but let it slip that a "flood controlexperiment" is imminent. Check with the Paysus Guild to be tasked with a bitof interrogation duty on the townspeople; head to the library to learn aboutthe Academy's plans for the Romastor River. Head west of Rusaht to get there.A battle with our gigantor spearman takes place here.

He'll use Agility Bellow to increase his evasion abilities and he can't beinflicted with Silence. Use Card Field to increase defense because he'llincrease his ATK as well. Attacks like Impulse Bomb do more damage than anymagic, why is why it's better to leave Marsia out of this battle (plus herDEF sucks like a vacuum). Watch out for the 'Hyper Galdo' attack which cando 100+ to one ally, and just keep using attacks like Impulse Bomb and anydecent card summon. After five or six turns the battle will be over.

After explaining the situation to Iga (automatically), Tikva's sentenceis doled out and this job's complete once Alec returns to the guild. Marsiaalso joins this party permanently from now on.
