3. Ragnarok Endings
by Gameplay.tips

Here are the ending condition for each episodes:
  • To trigger good ending in episode 1, talk to the kid in the orphanage and search for the event point (glows in red) on the second stage of the dungeon.
  • For episode 2, search the event point on the fourth stage of the dungeon after getting good ending on episode 1.
  • For episode 3, search the event point on fourth stage of the dungeon after getting good ending on episode 2.
  • For episode 4, search the event point on the first fight after getting good ending on episode 3 (inside the church vs 4 demons). Do not fight vs enemies before triggering the event point.
  • You will get a normal ending if you ignored the event point. If done so, the event points will not appear again at later episodes.

Here are the condition for each ending at the final episode:
  • Bad end, At episode 4, do not trigger the event point and get your party wiped out at the second battle (inside the church vs Father Salade).
  • Normal end 1, Get normal end at episode 1,2 and 3. Clear the game.
  • Normal end 2, Get good end at episode 1, 2 and 3. Ignore the event point at episode 4 and clear the game.
  • Good end, Check the event point on episode 4 and clear the game.

4. Titles

There are three titles that Priere can obtain; here is how you get them.

Demon Lord

Get to the 10th floor of a 300 DEI Portal and kill the Overlord. Prier must be in base form when doing so. The first time you achieve this will get you the Hyper Drive.

Overlord

Get to the 10th floor of a 300 DEI Portal and kill the Overlord another 20 times after obtaining the Demon Lord title. Prier must be in base form when doing the 20th or higher Overlord kill; in addition, the Overlord in question must be a minimum level of 700 for the final kill. The first time you achieve this will get you the Light Year (source myself and Doe.).

Supreme Overlord

Fully clear True Baal Castle. That means kill all the enemies, not just the level 9999 Baal. The first time you kill the level 9999 Baal will get you the Overlord Token.

To unlock this stage, you must get the Overlord title, cleared Gods Ordeal at least once, killed Disgaea Baal and finally Eringa Baal. That means you can only ever attempt this on your second cycle or beyond. All titles reset if you start a new cycle.

5. Uber Item Development

Levelling

In the original PS2 version, uber item making was easy. Maps had set patterns and you could change the direction of enemies using change ups. Both of these are gone, so we gotta speed things up.

First and foremost, you will be using Hall of the Dead for the quick addition of stats to your uber item; this means, NEVER EVER FINISH THE STAGE.

Use a weak level 1 character, place them in the corner of the map to lure away the zombie and then get the miracle chain going. The zombie will survive and you can exit back out.

Before[i.imgur.com]

After[i.imgur.com]

The Hall of the Dead miracle provides 403 EXP per go without TRIPLE EXP. That means a single purifying action would ready any of the proceeding items for fusion. If you run TRIPLE EXP, not only does it take more time to sort out, but it actually rips you off as it only provides 1155 EXP, that's a WHOPPING 54 EXP lost as well as time.

Best Fusion Items

All of the following require a single Hall of the Dead purification to reap the benefits and assume they have no element attached to the item/s.

Stat
Item
Levels Required
Boost
Total Needed
ATK
Glorious/Arondight
3
150
55
INT
Light Staff
2
125
66
DEF
Orichalcum
2
125
66
HP/ATK/DEF
Iron Boots
3
-50
100+

To explain above, levels required is the minimum levels you need to gain the boost of that item for the particular stat in mind. Boost is the amount you get per item you fuse. Total needed is approximately what you need to max out the item stat. The base item you use needs to be level for level per item. So if you wanted a base item to absorb 3x attack from Glorious, you would need to have each Glorious at level 3 and the base item at level 9. If you wanted to absorb all 8 stats from the Glorious, it would need to be level 8, or level 16 if you wanted all the trainers as well (more if it has an element on top of that, so avoid elements at all cost).

If your base item requires 6 levels, you need a total of 1260 EXP for your base item, which totals to 4 visits to HOTD.

If your base item requires 9 levels, you need a total of 2700 EXP for your base item, which totals to 7 visits to HOTD.

Rinse and repeat the above for quick uber items, base stats cap out at 9999; however, the max stat you can achieve on an item is 32767, so 8192 will suffice if you take the item to level 99 (which multiplies the base stat by 4).

If you want to go in depth about how item fusion works, check out this guide by Wakuseino_Mamoru.

Item Fusion FAQ (PS2) by Wakuseino_Mamoru[gamefaqs.gamespot.com]

Item Abilities

Some items have abilities, if an item has no record of a particular ability, it can absorb from another that does. In the first instance, it will absorb 50%, every subsequent absorption will be capped at 5% with the exception of Special Attack which will be capped at 1%.

For example, say you wanted Special Attack on a Glorious. If you merged Glorious with 3x Family Jewels, it would add 12% Special Attack. You would need to absorb a further 8 Family Jewels to reach the cap of 20%. The same can be said for a Maiden item. The most a Maiden item can give as a starting point is 80%, this means you would need an additional 4 Maiden/Training items to reach the cap of 100%.

A single item can hold a maximum of 8 abilities; here is a list of known abilities.

Name
Effect
% Cap
Stacks?
Charm
inflict any target/s with Charm
100

Close Call
your HP will be reduced to 1 from any attack, it can only drop to 0 if your HP is at 1 to begin with

Immortality?!

By combining 100% chance to activate Close Call with 100% chance to activate Recovery HP, you can become immortal on any 1v1 fight. Here is a video of it in action.

6. Endgame Levelling

Best Lineup

Experience gained per battle has a limit, once it hits it, you start increasing the experience you need to get a new level as opposed to actually levelling up. It falls somewhere in between the line of 213,493,638 and 218,856,102 EXP, which means the most experience you can ever gain from a single battle is around 214 million experience, which isn't a lot post level 4000.

End game levelling is basically lining up seven Baals to be killed off by the character you intend to level. Here is a rough run down on how much EXP you can get.

7x 2000 Baal = 30,127,538 EXP (approx)
7x 4000 Baal = 53,373,908 EXP (approx)
7x 6000 Baal = 80,064,866 EXP (approx)
7x 8000 Baal = 106,755,866 EXP (approx)

With stronger enemies at maximum level, and having beaten Gods Ordeal at least 3 times, you can encounter Baals anywhere from level 2000 up to a maximum of level 8000 (source Kalanyr). Sometimes the Baals will have an item on them which prevents them from being converted; however, if you have no inventory space the conversion will work like normal (source EnamL9x).

Level Bonus for Items

Your equipment also provides a good boost to stats, there is even a formula to work out what you can get from that. For every level beyond 100, you gain a multiplier for equipment; here is how it works.
  • 1% per level after 100 up to level 500
  • 0.5% per level after 500 up to level 1000
  • 0.2% per level after 500 up to level 9999

TLDR, at level 500, your equipment stats are multiplied by 5, at level 1000 your equipment stats are multiplied by 7.5 and at level 9999, you multiply your equipment stats by 25.49.

Also, your Training Levels DO NOT affect your equipment stats. That means at level 9999, the most a single piece of equipment can offer is 835,230 to a single stat, which means the absolute most you can get from a set of equipment is 3,340,920, taking into account stats from level, it is unlikely you could get above 10m in a single stat even with buffs.

7. Tricky Achievements

Blown to Divine Smithereens!

Perform a mass miracle purification with a 50,000 chain bonus.

This requires access to the hyper drive and cave of trials 3. The trick is to get as many bats in the chain as possible. The higher the level, the more bonus you get from them when they are hit by the chain. See the video below for an example of how I got it:

https://youtu.be/S6cND53-ahs

Quality Over Quantity

Buy the most expensive item in the shop.

This is deceptive. I originally thought there was a new item that was above the God Staff in price. This is however not the case, you just need to buy something that is worth more than the God Staff (which costs 179,000,000 prica). Simply level up an item such as the God Staff, sell it back to the store and re-purchase it. This should trigger the achievement (I used a fully levelled Robot Suit to get it personally).

According to bobbert0476, he attempted to sell his fused level 99 Robot Suit with no achievement in sight; however, his unfused level 26 Super Amp did trigger it; so, it stands to reason that the item in question must be unfused.

Where to Find Them

The location of most items have been posted by Reinbach_III; you can find them here.

  • Naked Apron, comes with the DLC character Eri, can obtain one per cycle whenever you recruit her
  • Super Amp, comes from Disgaea Baal the first time you kill him
  • Myao's Staff, comes from Eringa Baal the first time you kill him
  • Overlord Token, comes from the level 9999 Baal from True Baal Castle the first time you kill him
  • HP/SP Recovery Items (Cough Drop through to Elixshroom), comes from endings and portal purifications (random)

  • 50%, Magic Ring
  • 75%, Arondight
  • 100%, Robot Suit, Light Year & Hyper Drive

9. Music Room

You can get all 32 tracks in game by doing two playthroughs, one of the normal story and one of the demon lord route.

Normal Story
You can get tracks 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 14, 18, 19, 20 & 28 by achieving the Good Ending on Chapter 1 of the normal story and watching all scenes that lead onto Chapter 2.

You can get tracks 10 & 21 by achieving the Good Ending on Chapter 2, briefly listening to the cut scenes.

You can get track 6 by achieving the Bad Ending on Chapter 3, briefly listening to the cut scenes.

You can get tracks 13, 16, 22 & 25 by achieving the Special Ending on Chapter 4, briefly listening to the cut scenes.

You can get track 15 by achieving the Good Ending on Chapter 5, listening to the entire final cut scene until Prier ponders on what love is.

You can get tracks 23, 24, 26 by achieving the Good Endings on Chapters 6 through til 10, listening to all the cut scenes (sorry in advanced here, but you only need to do it once so).

You can get tracks 2, 17, 27 & 29 by finishing the game, briefly listening to the cut scenes, and listening to the end credits (2 & 17 are rewarded for completing the game).

Demon Lord Story
You can get track 30 by listening to any title card during this story, the first place obviously being Chapter 1.

You can get the final tracks, that being 31 & 32, by simply achieving the Good Ending for this story. This means activate all the tiles, don't hurt your pals, beat the final boss. 31 comes from fighting Calamity, 32 comes from the music playing during the credits scene with the artwork of Prier & Croix.

I believe the Baal's can go up to Level 8000 (it's level 2000 base, Level 4000 for strongest enemies and the random multiplier after clearing it 3 times can up to double it. But of course since the random multiplier has a 4000 level range the chance of you actually getting a level 8000 Baal are ~0. )

Nice, I will update the info! Let's not forget that even if it spawned a level 8000 one, it would in fact have a Whip of Love to prevent it's capture :D

Small detail: If you happen to have 1 character with enough Move and 1 Change Up, 2 characters with enough Move,, or 2 Change Ups... you can also re-direct the Hall of the Dead stream to go around the Zombie without putting it in range of the Miracle, also working for a Thunder Miracle without a stage clear.

From the default camera angle, you would direct the stream down-right and then back up-right. It also adds a few tiles to the pathing, for slightly more exp.

Not a big deal, but I figured worthy of mention :)

The true question is, which one is more S P E E D.

does the robot suit glitch still work where you purify 7 of each monster and have so many none can actually join so it gives you the item but keeps it when you rerun the map?

I doubt it, it was patched in the PAL PS2 version so it stands to reason that it won't work here.

When capturing a Baal over level 7000, if the maximum number of items in his possession is reached, the Baal can be added to the group even if he has equipment.

Thanks for the info, will add that to the thread here! Does this work for Dark World enemies as well? Just curious (figure no, since they are custom enemies).

Making a new post just because I updated an important piece of information regarding the Udon Shop Item List. The 8th ETC item is Elixshroom, it came to me as an ending reward (so it was random, it means it will most likely appear as a random portal reward as well).

Just to throw away any suspicions that it was in fact the reward for completing the list and being a throwaway redundant issue, when completing the udon list, you are given an additional Super Robot Suit, Light Year and Hyper Drive. So it's worth completing the list (like really worth it).

What map did you get it as an ending reward for ?

Interesting, kinda suggests its marked as a significantly lower rank than it should be. Maybe Items 7 & 8 are reversed on the drop tables ?

Possibly, I found the other Elixir on this stage as well.
