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	No
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	100	No
Experience UP	20% more experience gained, +1 skill experience (source Omnipotencia)	100	Yes
Forget	inflict any target/s with Forget	100	No
Hairball	inflict any target/s with Hairball	100	No
Paralyze	inflict any target/s with Paralyze	100	No
Poison	inflict any target/s with Poison	100	No
Purify	??? converted to purification power	100	Yes
Recover HP	recover % of HP at the start of a new turn	100	Yes
Reduce Damage	reduce damage taken by skills by 40%	100	No
Reduce SP Used	reduces SP used by 10%	100	Yes
Sleep	inflict any target/s with Sleep	100	No
Special Attack	deal triple damage with regular attacks	20	Yes

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.

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.

Is it possible to get multiple myao's staffs and/or hyper units, either by NG+ or just replaying the stages?

I'd test it my self but i havent even beat god's ordeal ball yet

Right so, those days are gone, they went with LPT PAL edition and further carried on to be fixed in Ragnarok. In a single save file of La Pucelle Tactics, you can get 1 super robo suit, 1 god staff, 1 godhand, 1 hyper unit, 1 hyperdrive, 1 myao rod, 1 demon lord cert, 1 lightyear cannon.

If you get 100% item completion for the noodle store, you get an additional 1 super robo suit, 1 hyperdrive and 1 lightyear cannon.

big sad. my plan for 8000 stat iitems was fuse a bunch of SRS's into one but i guess thats not possible. guess its just gonna have to be dark world items for res and as your guide says for ATK, INT, and DEF.

To be fair, you only really need damage to beat the final stuff, super stacking attack etc. As for the level 9999 baal, get max stronger enemies and he will sometimes spawn with 1 HP and you can 1 shot him with a single spell haha.

thats good to know! still would have been satisfying to make ietms with the max stats accross the board but needing to farm darkworld items for HP, SP, Spd, Hit and Res isnt worth it.

thank you for your help!

[DoomChylde]

Playing the Prinny Presents Vol 3 version of LP:R on the Switch, got a couple questions

- do any of the titles allow recruitment of the larger monsters? Specifically (Capricorn/Gigas/Talos, Grendel, ForestLord/Catoblepas)
And the Soldier/Sergeants from Ch10, for that matter

- is it still true that the following enemies don’t actually exist (and are therefore unrecruitable)?
-> Annubis, Dark Servant, Tiamat/Fenrer

Got a couple Baals in the party and was gonna go steamroll the Laharl battle, but immediately noticed the Capricorns/Talos in a non-DarkWorld setting, and thought “oh crap, this could be my only chance to recruit these units”

[kalanyr]

Talos are unrecruitable as a fix for a graphical glitch that happened if you recruited one.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any real pattern to monsters that are unrecruitable once you have the Demon Lord title (most demons are including bosses but there are exceptions) so you just have to gear up like you would for Baal and give it a shot.

[DoomChylde]

In the VS Laharl battle, using a couple of my LV2000 Baals equipped w Nude Aprons, was able to knock around & capture a Capricorn (the same technique did not work on the Talos, even with multiple attempts)

One thing I’m noticing, is I guess the target has to survive your first successfully-landed Purify attack, in order to be seen with “Decided to join”? I tried capturing one of those high LV Ogres/Jabberwocks, but anything that died in one hit, the Nude Apron’s 100% purify didn’t work - so for weaker units, I might have to use weaker purifiers (if the Purify command itself is too slow/takes too many shots)

Like if I want to try capturing a Catoblepas or the ForestLord (and I don’t know if these are possible), they’re super lower levels than these big fish
Capturing Soldier/Sergeant from Ch10 ChouxFleursHill would be even tougher, if it were possible - though I suppose they’d be weak enough that regular Purify command would probably do it

Also gonna try capturing a Gigas out of DarkWorld, using that “256/256 full items in inventory, allows capturing purified monsters even if they have equipment”

I finally, FINALLY after literally 196 attempts, managed to populate the final Noir battle with a DarkGeneral that has thunder for the innate element (naturally learns thunder spells), and captured him
And yes I realize those spells could be taught to any DG, but then they wouldn’t have the little lightning icon next to their name, and I’m just OCD like that

[kalanyr]

There is some good info on what was / was not recruitable in the PS2 version (though it sometimes didn't account for the NG+ in Pal which let you recruit stuff from the Noir fight because it was written for the NTSC version ) (un?)fortunately the PSP version expanded what could be captured with the Demon Lord title and nearly all the info on that is only in Japanese of course,

The only recruit change from PSP to PC that I'm aware of is blocking the Talos recruit as a quick and dirty fix to the screen corruption bug.

[DoomChylde]

Doing the 20 DarkWorld runs to get 2nd title, attempted to capture a couple units along the way (Gigas, Grendel), so far no luck
Disequipped a couple units to hit 256/256 inventory, but no dice
Once I hit 2nd title gonna rush to endgame, trying to pinch ForestLord, Catoblepas, Soldier & Sergeant along the way

[DoomChylde]

Stupid question, but I’ve got 1st title, going for 2nd - done 20+ DarkWorld runs, at least two of them the 10th floor boss has been LV 1000+

But, I’ve been doing the kills with a Baal (sometimes uniting with lower-level boss types for fun/levels)

Do I need to be getting these kills with Prier specifically?

[DoomChylde]

Never mind I got 2nd title the very next 10th floor boss - it was another 1000+, and I ensured Prier was in on the unite for the kill

Ch3 boss ForestLord is looking unrecruitable even with 2nd title; what is the purification formula again? Lots of threads reference it, but I’m failing to find it detailed anywhere

What good does fusing iron boots do???

[kalanyr]

Iron Boots are for equipping on allies ( usually Baals ) that you're killing to level up.
