Are the battles in Shiva passage hard? And what level do you recommend me to go through? My main Character, Daniel, Ayara, Jovian and Angel are at 54, and are almost 55, but I'm leveling other characters with them so I guess they'll earn a few more levels.

I was at around level 45 when I started that dungeon, of course only my main 6 were at that lvl but the others caught up soon. The first few fights were near-death experiences especially for the weak teams. By the time I was done with the Shiva Passage, all members were in the early 50's.
So I guess level 50 would be good enough.

LOL! Zomg, and I am training my characters to 54 at Magma Pit right around now. Lol, thanks for the level recommendation, atleast I can breathe easily now.

Devin_Perryfan, you can see various party setups for that particular dungeon on page 16.

Lol, thanks. But I finished it 4 hours ago, but I do appreciate the help. , It was a breeze, monsters weren't doing damage to me at all, I guess I leveled my characters too much. >.<

Edit : I'm currently leveling at Nocturn Keep right now, my party is at level 70. =o

Double Edit : Going to bed, going to finish the game tomorrow together with the secret scenes, but I'm looking for the black ruby for Marcello, but I can't find it, it's in Kirgard right? The Kirgard Country? Can anyone be more specific? And, where is Niffleheim? I'm trying to recruite Frore, but I don't know where Niffleheim is. Lastly, Yomiko, is she in Ashton Port or in Shadow Clan village? The list says that she is in Ashton, but Hilbert who will join with her is located at Shadow Clan Village.

The black ruby can be stolen from Hoarders in the field outside Vishnu/Trarcia.

Niffleheim is west of Muspelheim. You'll be able to go there later.

You'll be able to find Yomiko at Ashton Port and if you offer to help her, she'll take you to Shadow Clan to rescue Gilbert.

XD Niffler? XD The name is actually Niflheim.

Does anyone find it interesting that Alfheim, the elvish village on Helman Island, bears the suffix -heim like most of the Almenga cities/villages? Niflheim, Muspelheim, Vanaheim, so many -heims XD

Thanks so much for clearing it up Iya, but I've been wondering, I've been going around Ashton for already 5 rounds and I can't find Yomiko. ._.

Maybe Alfheim was built by an Almengan?

Devin_Perryfan, Yomiko will probably appear a little later, when you've breached some bridges, since the Shadow Clan village is deeper inside Kirgard, so you can't very well visit it to rescue Hilbert when it's still under enemy control.

What'cha mean? Is Almenga in Kirgard Territory? I'm actually in the part where I have to visit the Hall of Memories. I'm kinda confused here.

I only found Yomiko shortly after the battle against Brunhild. I think she meant that since Kirgard is under enemy (Almenga) control that area won't be accessable until later. Be patient, you'll get the ninja girl soon But once you say "Yes" to her mission, you won't be able to leave the dungeon so make sure to go there loaded with a ton of spells and other items

Thanks so much! I now got everyone except those last two people. Also, I was wondering, I've been reading the previous posts and the last part wherein about twin swords and brotherhood. Frore and Kella were from the Brotherhood as I seen in the cutscene. Do you think the "Brotherhood" they were talking about is the same as the brotherhood in the end?

Well, I'm pretty sure its the same

Ok, I'm at Shadow Clan Village now. ._., Crap these monsters are way too nasty. I'm at level 75 right now and they just keep on coming and coming and keep on killing my characters. I have to stay at the entrance and save once every after battle.

P.S : Yomiko will be in Ashton once you defeated Trevor And Sick.

Well then I hope you didn't take my suggestion lightly and carried enough spells and stuff If you think that the random encounters are tough then just wait until you "meet" the element-shifting boss!

Lol, don't worry. I'm done. , I got all the characters and I'm off to level at Vanaheim Castle during the assualt. All I had were alot of healing spells. The boss wasn't that hard, but his damage are just too much, and in the end, on the last form, I ran out of healing spells and only got 4 more members alive, but luckily I defeated him.

Hey Devin, just wondering, did you defeat those optional bosses Hugin & Munin already? If so, then at what level?

Not yet really, I'm stuck with Shadow Daniel for a while ._. I've read tips, can someone tell me where to buy the lock, haste and blink spells? ._., I dont have any places to level up. I'm at Level 79. In the moment, so, I'll be waiting your reply, I'll grind at Vanaheim Castle. ._.

When are Hugin and Munin available to fight? Just wondering by the way.

You could purchase those spells from Mai (Castle Magic Merchant). Though I recommend that you beat the game first and then do the optional content (shadow bosses). That way the final battle will be fun and challenging. But if you wait until you defeat all the optional bosses, the final boss would be a joke

And H&M are optional bosses of the spiritual plane. They are available from the first time you go through that area. You could try defeating them before heading for the final battle

^
Zomg, Hugin and Munin are available before you defeat Mephisto? Wth? Why didn't I catch them while I was in Spiritual Plane? ._.

Edit : Why do I believe I miss someone on the secrete scene with Leonius?
