STAR OCEAN: THE SECOND STORYMOST POWERFUL AND USEFUL WEAPONS

Hi, my name is Monkey Fetus, and I am currently a student at my local highschool.This is my first FAQ, and it's based on a game I've playing for about the lastmonth, trying to discover everything that this amazing RPG experience had tooffer. Like I said, this is the first FAQ I've ever written, so if you have antcomments on the content, or you would like to use it in any way, contact me(located in the contact section).

This FAQ is basically constructed like this:

I: The best way to contact me is by e-mail. My e-mail address is [email protected], you can contact me by ICQ. My ICQ number is 43948616. You can also contact

me by AIM/AOL instant messenger. My screen name is RCoEH. If you have comments,questions or you'd like my help, or you think I could use your help, go aheadand contact me.

II: Why this kind of FAQ? I basically wanted to do a FAQ based on the weapons of

star ocean because, well, no else, had. It seemed logical enough. And the weapon

systems of Star Ocean are pretty complicated. And I always wanted to write aFAQ, and now seemed like the right time, since no else had.

III: This is a VERY important note to all the people reading this. This FAQ isin no way finished, because frankly, your opinions could differ greatly frommine. If they do, and you feel that I am way out of line, feel free to send mean email and a kick to the mouth, and I'd be happy to mention you in my nextupdate and include whatever information you provided for me. If you have anyinformation regarding the weapon info I have here, feel free to drop me a line

(in the "contact me" section). Also notice that some of these weapons can onlybe obtained in the Trial Cavern, the game's bonus dungeon, and as a rule ofthumb, you need to have the specialty customize before reading the bulk of thisguide. In order to get the specialty customize, you need to learn the skillscraft, metal casting, and functionality. Functionality is part of the skill setsensibility 3 and can be bought in the Lacour guild, and in the guild in thetown of Armlock. Metal casting is part of the skill set technique 3, which canbe bought in Linga and North City. And craft is part of the skill set technique2, which can be bought in both Hilton and North City. If you tried hard enoughand got alchemy high enough (to create Mithril), and had the sharp edge, youcould make on of Claude's most powerful weapons pretty early in the game. You'dthen be able to breeze through the game until you got to the Trial Cavern. Also,

as a rule of thumb, having the super specialty, Orchestra will help A LOT. Inorder to get Orchestra, you need the specialties Art and Music.

IV: Claude C. KenniHis best weapon: This is actually under debate. While most people say that

it's the Eternal Sphere, some people would say otherwise. I, personally, thinkthat his best weapon is the Levantine Sword. While the eternal sphere causesmultiple hits, the Levantine sword is an ungodly powerful weapon, causing about9999 points of damage with every hit if you have the Atlus Ring on! That amounteven holds true with his best killer attack, the mirror slice! Also, once youget the angel armband, it causes stars to spray out of sword holder's (likeAshton, Claude, Dias) weapons? completely defeating the purpose of using the

eternal sphere. Even though it's great for characters that don't have weaponsthat spray stars. Way of Attaining: The only place to get the Levantine sword is in the trial

cavern, after you beat the boss of level 9, the Wise Sorcerer. You also get oneby beating the sadistic witch (and hardest boss I've ever faced), theIscera-Queen. Or you can just use the eternal sphere. You get the eternal sphere


3/9

by using the specialty "customize". Then use the weapon you got from Gamgeeafter the tournament of arms, the sharp edge, and combine it with Mithril withthe customize ability. You will then get the minus sword. Using customize,combine the minus sword with another piece of Mithril. It helps to have theorchestra super specialty.

V: Rena LanfordBest weapon: Since Rena isn't really a fighter, a weapon that raises her

defense is probably the best way to go. That's why I recommend using the fallenhope. Sure, you'll get more powerful weapons for her, but this is the best oneto use, mainly because it has a high defense rating and it halves her MP

consumption.Way of Attaining: You automatically get this during an event in Fun City,

when Mirage gives you this weapon before the fight with 3 of the Ten Wise Men.You also get Claudes weapon, the sacred tear.

VI: Celine JulesBest weapon: The best weapon that Celine can equip is the Million staff. In

fact, you get a couple of them (on a side note: I never really played withCeline that much because I really don't like attack magicians. But, when I gother million staff and the magic spell meteor swarm, she did about 9999 damagewith the spell! All this and at only level 35! Hee hee! ^_^). One of the bestthings about this weapon is its incredibly high magic stats. 800!! It alsoconverts 1/5 of the damage received into MP.

Way of Attaining: the only place to get the million staff is in the trial

cavern, on level 7, 8, and 10.

Stats: Atk:300 Hit.80 Mag:800Guts:0 Stm:30

Luc:30 Crt:40

Special powers: converts 1/5 of the damage

Received into MP


VII: Ashton Anchors Best weapon: the best weapon that Ashton can equip is the Melufa sword.It also has good darkness protection. It's weak to water, making it easy forIndalecio (or any attack mage that casts Noah, for that matter) to kill you ifhe casts Noah. Also, if you'll note the Luc rating on the Melufa? at least itbalances out his bad luck. Way of Attaining: The way to get the Melufa is trough the customizespecialty. First, you must have the Scyther, which you can get from the weapon

shop in Central City. Then combine that with a piece of Damascus, to get theMelufa.

VIII: Precis F. Neuman

Best weapon: this HAS to be my favorite sounding weapon. The "SuperDelicious Ultra Great Atomic". ^_^ With a name like that, you'd expect something

REALLY special, right? . All it is is just a really powerful punching hand.Nothing really special about it except the name? and that's a damn cool name^_^. Way of Attaining: the only way to get the SDUGA is by using the specialty

customize. First you must have the SD punch. In order to get the SD punch,combine the thunder punch with a rainbow diamond. After you have the SD punch,combine it with a Damascus and you'll get the UGA punch (the ultra great punch^_^). Then combine the UGA punch with a meteorite and you'll get the SDUGA.

Stats: Atk:1600 Hit:0Mag:0 Guts:65

Stm:0 Luc:0

Crt:30 Special powers: none


IX: Opera VectraBest weapon: Opera's best weapon is the Psycho Box.

Way of Attaining: The only place you can get the psycho box is in Fun City as

the prize for winning the duel battle in A rank. You can only win it if you areplaying as Opera and beat A rank. There's nothing really special about it, itjust has the best attack power. Have you noticed how all of Opera's weapons arepretty weak? Is it just me, or is she just a weak character? I think I've beenplaying way too much as Claude. ^_^ Stats: Atk:1050 Hit:0 Mag:0

Guts:0

Stm:0 Luc:0Crt:0 Special powers: none


X: Bowman JeanBest weapon: The Flare BurstWay of Attaining: The only place to get the flare burst is in Fun City for

winning A rank duel battle. The same for Opera holds true here, too: You canonly get the flare burst if you beat A rank as Bowman. I don't see why you would


6/9

want Bowman's best weapon anyway? he's a horrible character, with terriblerange. It was a living hell playing as him to get this information. You might as

well just get Precis instead. Stats: Atk:1300 Hit:0 Mag:0

Guts:0

Stm:0 Luc:0Crt:0 Special powers: Fire-based attack


XI: Ernest Raviede Best weapon: Cat 'O Nine Tails Way of Attaining: Once again, the only place to get his best weapon is atFun City as a prize for winning A rank duel battle. You can only get it if youbeat it as Ernest. Also, since this thing is split, (hence the name "nine

tails") it attacks multiple times when cracked, making it a good for people wholike combo demons like Claude, Ashton, and Chisato (like me! ^_^) Stats: Atk:1280 Hit:0 Mag:0

Guts:0

Stm:0 Luc:0Crt:0 Special powers: multi-hit attack


XII: Leon D. S. Geeste Best weapon: Leon's best weapon is the Book of Chaos (or Ancient Wisdom,depending on how you look at things) Way of Attaining: The only way to get the Book of Chaos is through thecustomize specialty. You first combine the book of darkness with a Damascus. Inorder to get the book of darkness, combine any strong weapon with a Damascus.Then again, the ancient wisdom is a powerful weapon, too. Not only does it cutyour MP consumption by , it also restores Leon's MP a little every 10 seconds,or so. Its magic power is only lower by about 20, so I'd go with the ancientwisdom. You get the ancient wisdom by combining the book of chaos with aDamascus. Also, the Ancient Wisdom doesn't have any weaknesses? then again, itdoesn't have any strengths, either. It's your call as to which you want to use?

but I'd choose the Ancient Wisdom.Stats: (Book of Chaos) Atk:950 Hit:80 Mag:400

XIII: Dias FlacBest weapon: Dias's best weapon is the Cromlea Sword

Way of Attaining: Once again, (are you starting to see a pattern?) theonly way to get the Cromlea Sword is in Fun City for winning A rank duel battle.

Also, outside of Fun City, his best weapon you get from the trial cavern is theLevantine Sword. If you want the stats for the Levantine Sword, look at Claude's

information? I'm not gonna type it twice.

Stats: Atk:1399 Hit:0 Mag:0

Guts:0

Stm:0 Luc:0 Crt:0

Special powers: none


XIV: Noel Chandler Best weapon: Noel's best weapon is the Death Fangs

Way of Attaining: jeez, I'm kinda getting tired of typing A rank and FunCity. I'm starting to think it's not healthy for me. If that's not a good enough


8/9

hint for ya, how about this: Noel, A rank, Duel Battle, one-on-one fight, FunCity, Battle Arena, it's on Energy Nede. Get it?

Stats: Atk:1,350 Hit:50 Mag:0

Guts:10

Stm:0 Luc:0Crt:15 Special powers: none


XV: Chisato Madison Best weapon: Chiasato's best weapon is the Weird Slayer, mainly becauseit's the strongest weapon that she can equip and, unlike her second best weapon,

the Psychic Gun, it doesn't cost MP with every use. Imagine this: Chisato's best

killer move is her tear gas? it hits about 15-20 times. Now imagine that with

every hit from the tear gas that your enemy gets, it charges her 2 MP? notpretty. You're looking at using nearly 40MP plus the normal amount it takes tocast Tear Gas? that's almost 70MP? ouch, right? Well, the Weird Slayer is astronger weapon than the Psychic Gun, AND doesn't take up nearly as much MP. Infact, it helps conserve your HP by making it so that whenever you hit yourenemy, half of the damage you did to them is brought back to Chisato. I loveChisato. ^_^ Way of Attaining: The only place to get the weird slayer is in the trialcavern on level 5, and 7.

Stats: Atk:1000 Hit:40 Mag:0

Guts:10

Stm:10 Luc:0 Crt:0

Special powers: instantly kills weird

Enemies, damage converted to MP


XVI: ThanksFirst, I'd like to thank all the people at Exdeath's message board. Here are the

names of all the people that helped me out when I needed it. Thanks to Id,Keith, Exdeath, inventor_7, and Erasmuss for everything. I can't remember whatthese guys specifically helped me with, but thanks a lot anyway! All the otherpeople on the board, thanks for asking questions I felt too stupid to ask! ^_^ I


9/9

would specifically like to thank Exdeath for writing all those massive FAQ's onboth scenarios of Star Ocean. Thanks a lot! I'd also like to thank Ian Kelleyfor answering all my insipid questions and answering all of my e-mails and alsowriting massive FAQ's on Star Ocean. Also, while this is completely off thesubject, I'd like to thank all of my favorite bands like TOOL, Type O Negative,White Zombie, and so many others just for giving me something to listen to while

writing this so I wouldn't go insane. I'd also like to thank my good friendBrittany for keeping things in perspective and helping me through the whole'writing process'. Thanks Brit! I'd like to thank all the random people I met in

chat rooms (I can't remember their names now?) for providing vital info. I'dlike to thank both Elizabeth M. Hollinger and James M. Ratkos for writing theexcellent strategy guide of Star Ocean for Prima game guides? without all ofthese fine peoples help, I wouldn't have survived for a second! Thank you all so

much! I'd also like to thank both Tri-Ace and Enix for developing and producing,

respectively, such an amazing RPG experience. And, I' like to thank that guy atEB (his name escapes me now) who told me to buy Star Ocean instead of Lunar:SSS. I own both now, but if I hadn't gotten Star Ocean first, this FAQ wouldnever have come to pass. Thanks a lot? guy.
