There is a New Game+. You carry over your levels, money, and all the information is retained in your character bios, bestiary, item guide, and Scorebook (so in other words, you don't have to try getting all the character bios or all Gold Medals in one playthrough). If you want to obtain all achievements, you have to do a NG+ regardless, as some of the achievements towards getting some items and fighting some enemies can only be done in a NG+.
The instant you get the Water Scroll (from the Lake dungeon boss), equip it and keep it on basically the entire rest of the game. It restores HP to you every time you attack, so it will be a real big help both during dungeon crawls and against bosses.
When doing Gold/Platinum Medals, it requires you break all boxes. As unfortunate a design choice as it is, in some dungeons there will be a box or two that are 'hidden' out of view against bottom walls, so be sure to spam bullet fire against the bottom walls. Keep your volume up as you can hear boxes being destroyed. If you are like me and have to do multiple runs, you should be able to remember where these hidden boxes are on each dungeon after a few runs.
For the bromides that you get from the photo cut-outs in the four sprite villages, you need to walk around and try lining up a bit and press the confirm button. There is a tiny spot where your character will find the Bromide. You'll probably be spending several minutes if you're unlucky. You may want to switch out characters if you are having trouble, too. A couple of times I switched to Pokkle or Pipiro and found it right away, though that may just be bias.
Diagonal movement is faster than cardinal movement. Not only does this make going through (most) dungeons quicker, but it is a HUGE way to beat bosses more easily. Most bosses have a breath attack and a projectiles-dropping-from-above attack, but the diagonal movement is just about the same speed as the breaths, allowing you to easily dodge them.
Pipori's magic attacks can go out of bounds and through walls. You can exploit this to save yourself hassles during dungeon runs.
Bombs can be 'dragged' off the hotbar across the entire screen. If you're having issues with blowing up turrets without getting damaged, you can drop a bomb from across the screen! Especially useful if there are obstacles between you and the turrets that prevent their bullets from hitting you in the meantime. Or you can even put them just slightly off-screen and therefore you are out of their line of sight, but the bomb's explosion radius still affects them.
There are two monsters in the Superi Labyrinth, Guard and Hunter, 251 and 253 in the Bestiary. Hunter is in the Easy labyrinth, while Guard is in the Hard labyrinth. There is only one monster of each type. To fight Hunter, you will usually go counterclockwise in your dungeon layout to a lower room, while for Guard, you go straight right. While they usually drop currency, their rarest drops are each a Bromine. Annoyingly, once you kill them, to refresh the monsters, you have to physically leave the labyrinth and go out onto the world map, before returning. Merely repeating a labyrinth won't restore the monster.
Grinding spots
These are the personal ones I found for myself. I based them off of being quick and easy to run through with nothing to slow down the run-and-gunning (no terrain difficulties like dim lighting or wind pushing you around, no having to use stuff like the Magnet or Hook, no enormous time wastes like platforms carrying you around)
Early Game
Level 4 run in the volcano. I found I could clear the entire area in about 2 minutes with the Water Jewel
Mid Game
the big room right before Undine Land. Use Venture Wings to teleport to Undine Land, clear out all the monsters, teleport back to Puck, teleport back to Undine Land, repeat. Eggs, Persimmons, Fried Rice
Lake Bottom dungeon. Fried Rice, Sausage
Late Game
Tree dungeon in the hills (Muscat Branch, Smoked Eggs)
Klaproth Holy Ground (Melons, Bone-In Meat)
The Bromides and Music CDs are all what I call 'Tier 5' items, meaning 10000 Tier 1 items exchange for 1000 Tier 2 items exchange for 100 Tier 3 items exchange for 10 Tier 4 items exchange for 1 Tier 5 item. Don't bother with collecting Tier 1 or Tier 2 items. Tier 4 items can be occasionally found in chests, but don't drop as enemy drops. So you need to collect 100 Tier 3 items to get the Tier 5 item (minus however many Tier 4 items you find in chests).
The Tier 3 items are: Lemon, Cheeseburger, Tangerine, Squid Noodles, Chicken, Strawberry, Smoked Egg, Muscat Branch, Milk, Bone-In Meat, Tuna Nigiri, Melon, Berry Cake, Toasted Riceball*, Rice Porridge
*Toasted Riceball gives you a piece of equipment instead of a CD or bromide, but I put it on here for completion's sake
Though there are some enemies that occasionally drop those as a rare item, the most common drops are from the last few routes of the regular game and from the Purgatory levels (the Levels 28-33 runs in the four elemental dungeons) and some of the other harder optional dungeons.
Tree dungeon in the hills (Muscat Branch, Smoked Eggs)
Klaproth Holy Ground (Melons, Bone-In Meat)
Apleiste Shrine Path to Altar (Cheeseburger)
Hell's Halls (darkness temple) (Lemon, Cheeseburger, Tangerine)
Path to Altar Darkness (darkness temple) (Tangerine, Squid Noodles, Chicken)
Royal Passage/Path to Lair (last dungeon area) (Strawberry)
Klopp Caverns Purgatory (Donut Set, Bone-In Meat, Milk)
Mt. St. Kenopi Purgatory (Persimmon, Bone-In Meat - Common, Miso Mackerel, Tuna Nigiri - Uncommon)
Pavel Gardens Purgatory (Melons, Berry Cake - Common)
Caphais Woods Purgatory (Berry Cake, Rice Porridge, Toasted Riceball)
Probably the most difficult items to grind out for are Tuna Nigiri and Rice Porridge. The enemy that drops Tuna Nigiri in MSK Purgatory only appears 8 times per run, and the enemy that drops Rice Porridge in CW Purgatory only appears 6 times per run.
Cheeseburgers can be grinded out pretty easily. Warp to the actual Altar of the Apleiste Shrine, go down a stairs, then go right into the large battlefield. Six instances I think of the enemy that drops Cheeseburgers.
For the Path to Altar, you'll probably top up on Tangerines and Squid Noodles before you do Chickens. When you only need Chickens of those three items, warp to the Altar, then go down a stairs, go down to the room with all the cannons. There are four of the enemies that drop Chicken. Go down and around some more for a fifth foe.
One of the Bromides is dropped by the Tea Maid, which is the enemy that appears at the very bottom of Pneuma's Mansion, and you fight 5 of them. To kill them, you have to repeat the whole dungeon, and the Bromide is their rarest drop. However, the Tea Maid ALSO appears in the Earth Fantasyscape, and as a fairly common enemy. It IS possible they will drop the Bromide here, which saves you a lot of repeating the mansion, but I CANNOT confirm they drop it here.
Two other Bromides are dropped by the Hunter and Guard enemies in the Superi R Labyrinth. The RNG here seems to be very strange. I probably killed these two enemies a combined total of ~250 times with no Bromide drops, then got the one from the Guard finally, and got the one from the Hunter 3 kills later. That could just be my personal experience, of course.
Fighting Beelzebub
-Make the decision about whether you want to have the Phoenix Down or not to revive yourself on death. Koboltan-X, the other ur-boss, has even nastier attacks, but you can access your menu the entire fight and he doesn't heal after triple-charge attacks so there's no last 100k HP you have to manually whittle down.
-Multi-direction jewel is essential. This can be Dark or Wind orb. I used Dark. Water Scroll is essential as well. When combined with the Water Scroll it will allow you to restore HP while running from Beelzebub in the air. You will only hurt it for 1 or 2 damage at a time, but each hit still heals you.
-Set your pet to Heal only. It won't get very many chances to attack anyways.
-WEAR a piece of equipment that halves wind damage. You can get one from the Spring Fairy after I think 6 Golds. Even if it replaces a piece of Naga equipment, the halving of wind damage easily, easily offsets the lost stats.
-First, you'll want to gradually get used to its moveset. When it's up in the air, you NEED to use diagonal movement for the extra speed. Cardinal direction movement only won't cut it. The biggest thing with Beelzebub is its wind blades (the razor circles, as opposed to its slashes when it's on the ground). It will always use only two windblades to start, which you can generally dodge as long as you have enough distance. Sometimes, it'll follow up with 6-ish windblades. There'll usually be a gap between the last and second-last wind blades, so after you dodge the second-last blade, don't move any further or else you'll run into the last projectile. Sometimes you'll have a difficult time dodging them. Even if you're in a tight spot, try to run in a direction so you only get hit by one of them, as if three of them come at you all at once, all three of them damage you.
-When it falls, wait a little while and stay out of Beelzebub's line of sight. If it doesn't use Big Bang right away, you can move in and use a Triple Charge. The instant you see on-screen the 'Big Bang' text, MOVE! Otherwise, with its regular slices, the Water Scroll should heal damage about as fast as you take it.
-You should always keep Beelzebub in your line of sight, even if it's at the very edge of the screen, solely so you know to dodge if it's going to use its wind blades. The sole exception is if it uses Big Bang, in which case run.
-Triple attack charges are essential. Going in with a full bar of triple attacks is very handy. Figure out how much damage you do to Beelzebub and how much it heals itself. I did about 90k damage total after it healed itself, so I brought in 10 triple attack charges and 2 extra mushrooms for a total of 1.08 million and brought it down to 190k (I got down to 100k after all the other attacks I hit it with). You should have 7 pieces of equipment and five other slots you can use, so that leaves you 3 food pieces. They should all be 100HP healing.
-At the VERY START of the battle, you can cheese it by getting in a Triple attack right before Beelzebub has fully lifted off out of range.
-Overall, using Dark/Wind Orbs + Water Scroll + a piece of wind equipment to half wind damage should drastically reduce damage you take and heal it back.
Fighting Koboltan-X
-Specifically, the golden kobold in Level 00 in Caphais Forest on NG+
-You'll want to have the entire Naga armor collection and Naga Charm/Circlet on for this
-If you didn't already use the Phoenix Down on Beelzebub, here's the time to bring it with you since there is no tough boss remaining after except for potentially the Fantasyscape bosses
-Koboltan-X is considered one of the few 'field bosses' as I like to call them, which means you can access your bag during the fight. That means you can bring up to 150 healing items/mushrooms/etc. The Blood Charm doubles restoration, so I filled up with Healing Potion and temporarily equipped the Blood Charm to get 100 healing points from Healing Potions before swapping back to the Naga Charm.
-It also means you can bring lots of the Triple Charge mushrooms. Koboltan-X doesn't heal after a Triple Charge, so you can cheese him to death entirely with Triple Attacks. At 40 Attack, I think it took me 8 or 9 attacks to kill him.
-Be liberal with healing. If you're not especially good, just open up your bag every time he gets you down to 60 or less and heal. Even if you open your bag, damage still accumulates for a second after, so if he gets you caught in one of his multi-hit attacks, you could go down to 0 while in your bag.
-When he starts counting down, immediately run to the right side of the screen. His Galaxy attack is a multi-damage that hits the ENTIRE screen, except for the very far right end of the arena.
You are welcome!
I assume that is your Ys Typing video on YouTube. I had some struggles with Levels 6 and 7 and got through to Level 8. I had to look up a video to make sure 8 was the last level, because I didn't want to beat it only to hit a Level 9! It took me like 20 times, but I finally managed to grind out the win today :)
Unfortunately, True Treasure Hunter is in fact still glitched, so I assume cheating the Achievement is the only way to get it.
anyway, here's some extra info:
Crayon Level: Six-Year-Old
you MUST learn all charge techniques before revealing your master's true name (before unlocking Serpentina) for this achievement to unlock. this is how i screwed up my second playthrough.
Chicken can be farmed in Serpentina's royal passage.
Spring Cleaning
i suggest to skip Pavel Garden's purgatory. that level is hell to gold since you need to use charge mushrooms and all.
You can get free mushrooms from Jiord by talking to him
After obtaining the Earth Idol -> Serpen Ruins - Shimeji
After obtaining the Water Idol -> Lake Tripoca - Nameko
Rifling Through Alleyways
This can only be done after you finished heading to the altar. Info copied from here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/427680/discussions/0/1638662230376674932/#c1645418344565404127
1. Pet Name Tag found on the back left balcony inside Pneuma's Mansion
2. Namingway Tag found behind Pneuma's mansion to the left (you can go between the wall and mansion on the right side and work your way around)
3. Vinyl Boots found in the bottom right Puck forest (cross that bridge to the east end of town, go all the way down until you hit the forest). The vinyl boots can't be acquired like this on new game plus as they are replaced by the Best of the Best (Rest?) CD.
But You Still Can't Revive Aeris
The format is from the gamefaqs guide by alamone: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/567436-zwei/faqs/15519
I localized it and list all Jiord's location from the earliest you can do the side quest (from before getting Wind Idol).
1) Undine Land : Talk to Glana to get a Matching Duds
2) Puck Village: Talk to Liesach (poem guy, south of church) and exchange Matching Duds for Bridal Bouquet.
3) Sylvan Woods: Talk to Ripple to exchange Bridal Bouquet for Fishing Rod.
4) Puck Village: Talk to Brick (item shop) to exchange Fishing Rod for Baseball Set.
5) Salamander's Den: Talk to Vulcan to exchange Baseball Set for Fan.
6) Dapne Desert/Superi R. Labyrinth/Puck Village: Talk to Jiord to exchange Fan for Plum Brandy.
7) Gnome Protectorate: Talk to Rokk to exchange Plum Brandy for Eastern Pickles
8) Puck Village: Talk to Judith (house with eggs, south of hospital) to exchange Eastern Pickles for Glasses.
9) Undine Land : Talk to Rubini to exchange Glasses for Comfy Slippers.
10) Puck Village: Talk to Plum in either Pneuma's Mansion or eastern part of Puck Village (where you triggered the plane crash scene) to exchange Comfy Slippers for Phoenix Down
Beelzebub
You don't need triple attack or any healing pots. Just wear any aegis equipment (I used shoes and armor), the rest is naga equipment. Use water scroll and set pet to heal. My level was 30 when I did this.
When the boss flies, just circle below it while spamming dark orb. If it is out of your sight when it flies, run diagonally. It will eventually crashing down.
When the boss falls, you can use your charged attack on the falling animation.
After it falls, switch to light orb and attack it from a distance. I usually just make sure that he's on the opposite of the screen, whether it's the left or right side.
When its hand is crossed, it'll use Big Bang. Gain more distance and wait until the big bang circle to disappear.
If it runs to you, switch to dark orb to kite and damage it from a distance. It might use Big Bang right after.
Repeat until the boss dies. One thing to note is that the boss can use two Bing Bangs in a row, so you shouldn't get too close.
I used some double attack in between (since I got it for just attacking the boss), but as far as i can see, it will heal the same amount of damage right after, so it's useless.
Controller config for Mt. St. Kenopi Purgatory
steam://controllerconfig/427680/2678401722
Left bumper and right bumper will act as F1 and F2, the rest should be the same, although limited in functionality.
Cherry Topper
you can just talk to everyone in the village after every event. one note is obtained by talking with pipiro:
- before going to the church
- after going to the church, but before going to the shrine
- after going to the shrine
- after obtaining Earth Idol
- after plane crash scene
- after obtaining Water Idol
- after obtaining Fire Idol
- after obtaining Wind Idol
- after obtaining Dark Idol
- after obtaining Light Idol and before placing it to the shrine
- after placing the Light Idol to the shrine (or maybe after Serpentina is opened, i forgot)
- after beating the final boss
The rest of the info can be found in the guide section. I used the gold/platinum guide (checked the wiki linked on the credits too with google translate), food exchange, achievement guide, and pet mini game maps. dungeon level map is useful to check your progression, and 3 memos guide is optional. You can just talk to everyone like I did on my first playthrough and check the missing ones in the guide.
^ Just confirmed that the Tea Maid drops the bromide in the Earth Fantasyscape. This greatly reduces its farming time! Now if only farming Rice Porridge wasn't an absolute hell
Also I still seem to be missing the body armor piece from the "Heavy" armor set. Not sure where it is, honestly. (I just got the Earth Jewel)
UPDATE: I used some of your information in a little guide i made since you did not make one. Do not worry, i added your name to contributions to the guide. Im afraid this information maybe lost in the future.
