I have my new e-mail address posted up and a list of all Sailor Moon DVDs currently available. The big update is the new Senshi Rankings section, with details on who has the highest ranking in each stat category. I've also fixed more minor errors in my FAQ. I don't think this will be the last update, but we'll see... 2.5--Finally got around to an update ^_^. Well... this time I just have a few additions and corrections in the SM:AS Questions section. I've also added some credits. I'm planning on a much bigger update for next time. 3.0--Well... it's been a while, but I got around to another update. This update is mainly several things to the Questions section, including answers to several questions that I have found to be frequently asked. Various things in the FAQ that have become outdated have been updated as well. -------------------- I. SM:AS QUESTIONS -------------------- Here I will answer some questions about Sailor Moon, either this game or otherwise. I will add to this section as I receive feedback and update. Please don't e-mail me a question if it's already right here. Q: If I need help, how can I find you (EmperorBrandon)? A: You can e-mail me at empbrandon@mchsi.com, but it takes me a few days before I check my e-mail. You can also find me on the message boards at GameFAQs.com. I'm usually on the Sailor Moon Another Story board daily. Q: I want to watch Sailor Moon on TV. When does it come on and on what channel? A: Sailor Moon no longer comes on Toonami (though it is rumored to return). Check tvguide.com and search for "Sailor Moon". You may find that it comes on your local WB, Fox, or UPN station. Q: I want Sailor Moon on tape or DVD. How much has been commercialy released? A: 1st season--Edited dub tapes are already available of this series, and it has been completed. ADV will be releasing the entire series subbed and uncut on DVD sometime soon. 2nd season, R--The edited dub tapes of this series are starting to be released. They'll evenutally finish. As with the Classic season, ADV is planning on releasing this entire series subbed and uncut. 3rd season, S--This is available on edited dub, uncut dub, or subtitled tapes, as well as dual language DVD. I highly recommend the DVDs if you have a DVD player, as you get 2x asmany episodes as on tape and you get 2 versions, the uncut dub and the uncut sub. 4th season, Super S--This series has been released in the same manner as the S season, except the subbed VHS version was dropped about halfway through. 5th season, Sailor Stars--This series has not been dubbed and/or shown on Cartoon Network, and it has had no commercial release. It may be dubbed and released some time in the future. If you want to see it now, you could find a fansub. It's pretty good. Q: I want to talk about Sailor Moon and/or anime with other fans. Where can I go? A: The message board here at GameFAQs has lots of Sailor Moon and anime fans like myself. ^_^ All you have to do is provide a user name and e-mail, then you can post on the message boards. Here's some quick links (these may become obsolete later, I'll try to update this FAQ).

You can also find Stars and SS Specials fansubbed by VKLL. Q: What does anime mean? What does manga mean? A: Anime is an animated show (cartoon) that originated in Japan. Manga is the same thing, except is the graphic novel (comic) that originated in Japan. The original of Sailor Moon is the manga, which was done by Naoko Takeuchi. Q: Where do you get this game? A: The Japanese version is rare and difficult to find. You can find a translated ROM for this game for an SNES emulator, but it is illegal unless you own the game (it's quite old though, so I don't think it'd be any harm). Q: I can't find the pendant you need to get into Mary's room in Jupiter's scenario. Where is it? A: It only appears after you have finished a few events. I will list them in order right here. 1. Go to the elder's house in Medias, the first village (the largest house in the upper-right corner of town) and talk to the girl there on the first floor. 2. Go up the stairs in the elder's house and talk to George there. 3. Go through the woods to Mishii, go to the elder (in the northern portion of town) and let him throw you back. Now go over to the left and you should find the pendant. Q: How do I find Neptune's accessory, the Aqua Earrings? A: You find this in the forest where you pick up Chibiusa (you first come through it with Uranus, Neptune, and Saturn). At the beginning of the forest, there is a merchant guy and a Luna-P save point. Go right from there a little ways, then go north when you get to where the path opens up. The first left should take you over to a visible treasure chest. Go up until you get to next left. Take this left and go straight until you hit a dead end. Look up in the trees and you will find a hidden treasure chest with the Aqua Earrings. I hope this helps. ^_^ Q: How do I use Link attacks? A: This seems to be a frequently asked question so I'll answer in detail. To create links, you have to go to the Link creation menu. To go here, simply press Start while your on the map screen. When you get there, there will be two sides of the book. There's 9 spaces on the left side (these spaces are filled up w/ 9 other senshi than Sailor Moon as a default) and 3 spaces on the right (first w/ Moon, the other two are blank by default. To move a Senshi, move over to her and press A, then move to space where you wish to put her and press A again. If that space already has a senshi on it, then they will exchange spots. Now, to test out a link put either 2 or 3 senshi on the right side of the screen, then press Y to see if the link works. If it does work, you can use in battle if both of the senshi are present. When you're finished, press Start to go back to the map screen. Check out the Links Guide below for more info on them. Q: How is LAP (Link Attack Power) increased? A: I'll make up a hidden stat called Link Exp. Whenever a character executes (only the character that selected the link attack; the link partner does not count) a link attack, they get 1 Link Exp. 2 Link. Exp is needed to go up 1 LAP. So the (# of times a link attack is used by that character)/2=LAP. The maximum for LAP is 255. Q: How do I beat (insert boss name here)? A: Look in the boss guide section. There's bound to be something there to help you with that. Q: I'm having trouble beating normal enemies, not bosses. Can you help? A: The main thing to do is to make sure you have the best accesories equipped and to make sure that you're in a good enough formation (a more defensive formation may be necessary). Also throw in healing items as well. Q: How do I get the treasures that are blocked off by those guys in the Earth Palace in the past? A: For right now, I do not know. All I know is that the chests contain Holy Water and Life Can. I believe there is a point where the path will not be blocked, but haven't found it yet (still looking into it...) Q: Where are the special accessories/puzzle pieces? A: Diamond--Beryl's Cave, Moon Kingdom Sapphire--Schwartz's Cave, Schwartz's Cave Ruby--Yaga Elder's House, Yaga Elder's House Emerald--Mishii Elder's House, Nephrite Ruins Topaz--Cave at the start of Venus's scenario, Venus's Ark Rainbow--Moon Kingdom, Underground Basement at Moon Kingdom Amber--Chibi-Usa's Forest, North Pole Aqua--Chibi-Usa's Forest, Black Moon Garnet--Time Palace, Time Palace Flourite(?)--Tomoe Labs, Tomoe Labs *Rainbow Ribbon*--Moon Kingdom *Red Pupil*--Time Palace, Kainess Ice Caves (after beating Esmaraude) *Angel Pin*--(10)Crystal Palace (after collecting the entire puzzle) *enclosed in asterisks* means that the special accessory can be equipped by anyone. These are good! Be sure not to miss them! Hidden Puzzle Pieces--(2)Andeng, (1)inbetween Medias and Mishii, (2)Mishii, (1)Mishii elder's house *NOTE* These are not all of the puzzle pieces, but these are enough to complete the puzzle. I believe you need at least 4 to have a complete puzzle. Q: I missed one of the special accessories/puzzle pieces. Can I go back and get them? A: It depends. Many of the places here you will only visit once, but you will visit some of them twice, and get an additional chance at getting an accessory if you missed them the first time. Once you come back to the present from the past, you're chances at get many of these accesories will be lost for good, so be sure you have everything before you fight Sin. Q: Why wasn't this game ever released in North America? A: This game is pretty old (1995, I think), and back in that time we didn't even have Sailor Moon over here in North America. The last series that this game takes from, the S series, just started showing on Cartoon Network here, even though the Japanese had it 5 years ago (oh well... it takes forever for them to get here). So, basically, they didn't care for bringing a Sailor Moon game over here because the series wasn't over here, and once they did all come over here, the SNES and the game were pretty outdated. Q: Will this game ever be released in North America? A: I extremely doubt it unless we get some collection of old Sailor Moon games for one of the newer systems (which I also doubt as well). Q: These aren't the names of the characters from the TV show. Why does this game have the wrong names? A: In the American dubbed version, the names were changed, and this game use the Japanese names. Here's a table for those who're eager to find out Japanese (or maybe American) names. Usagi-->Serena Mamoru-->Darien Ami-->Amy Rei-->Raye Mako(to)-->Lita Minako-->Mina Chibi-Usa-->Rini Haruka-->Amara Michiru-->Michelle Setsuna-->Trista Chibi-Moon-->Mini-Moon Sailor Senshi(Soldiers)-->Sailor Scouts ----- Jadeite-->Jedite Nephrite-->Nephlyte Zoicite-->Zoysite Kunzite-->Malachite Metallia-->Negaforce Dark Kingdom-->Negaverse ----- Cooan/Koan-->Catzi Beruche-->Bertie Karaberas/Calaveras-->Avery Petz-->Prizma Esmeroodo/Esmeraude-->Emerald Safir-->Sapphire Demand/Demando-->Diamond Black Lady-->Wicked Lady Black Moon-->Negamoon Death Phantom-->Doom Phantom ----- Kaolinite-->Kaorinite Eudial-->Eugeal Tellu-->Telulu Viluy-->Byruit Ptilol-->Petirol Witches 5-->Bureau of Bad Behavior Death Busters-->Heart Snatchers ----- Naru-->Molly Umino-->Melvin Yuuichirou-->Chad Urawa-->Greg Puu-->Pluto ----- Ginzuishou-->Silver Crystal Holy Grail(Moon Cup)-->Purity Chalice Q: Who are these new enemies and where did they get their weird names? A: They are the Oppositio Senshi and they want to destroy the Ginzuishou and the Sailor Senshi for the good of society and peace (although they're really being controlled by a greater alien force called Apsu). Their names follow Babylonian gods/godesses that have similar attributes to the Roman gods/ godesses (which is what the Sailor's names are based on). i.e. Marduk(chief god) for Jupiter, and Ishtar(goddess of love) for Venus. Q: What are some of the more useful attacks/links in the game? A: Here's a few... Shabon Spray--Yes, Shabon Spray. It may look weak but one hit from this and you're enemies' attack power and accuracy falls. A great move to start off any battle. It also ignores the enemies defense and formation, so use it if you're in the very back and/or your enemy has really good defense. Healing Shower--This link tech of Moon and Venus isn't really a healing move, but it's even better! It raises your attack power by a bit, allowing your characters to do even more damage, and near the end of the game, raises your chance of a 9999 damage strike. Time Stop--If you have the necessary EP to use this move, it's a major helper. The damage is minimal (like with Shabon Spray) but it keeps the enemies from making a move. It's another good time and damage saver when fighting tough enemies. Death Reborn Revolution--This average 2EP attack can instantly be turned into a major enemy killer in the midgame if you equip Saturn with the right accessories (Amulet, Destruction Tiara, and Red Pupil) and put her in the center of Cluster formation. Rainbow Moon Heart Ache/Pink Sugar Heart Ache--Make sure you make the change to Super form worth it by equipping good accessories and putting them in center of Cluster. Also, you might want a defensive measure for ChibiMoon. Sparkling Wide Pressure/Venus Love-me Chain/World Shaking/Fire Soul--Your attackers will deal great damage with normal attack if placed in a front row position (1500+ points on my formation chart). Use cheaper attacks to preserve EP. Pink Sugar Heart Attack--Huh??? What's this attack doing here? -------------------- II. CHARACTER GUIDE -------------------- NOTES --I've gathered all of these stats based on their stats at LV. 25, and with no accessories on. --8 of these Sailors follow an order of attack or defense. Moon, Mercury, Neptune, and Saturn have high defense, and Mars, Jupiter, Venus, and Uranus have high attack. Having a good balance of both types of characters will make your party strong. Chibi-Moon and Pluto belong to neither of these groups, but have their own special strengths that help them in battle. ---MOON--- HP -303 Attack -40 Defence-62 Speed -42 Evade -64 She's quite well-rounded for a senshi. She has very high defense, low (but decent if you link with others) attack, good speed, and has a very good evasion. You're pretty much going to have her in your team throughout the game, so get use to using her. Her main strength lies in her link powers, as she can link with every other party for a variety of powerful combos. Getting Moon's LAP to max will greatly benefit her link power, and this is needed (because her normal attacks are plain weak). She is important for her healing move and links too. ---MERCURY--- HP -302 Attack -37 Defence-64 Speed -40 Evade -63 Very similar to Sailor Moon, except her D is a little higher. Her attacks are pathetic, but she can actually deal decent damage if you build up your links (LAP). Use her similar to Sailor Moon, as a healer. She'll be taking so little damage that you probably won't have to worry about her dying, so use her as a great back-row (or even front-row) healer. Not only this, but her Shabon Spray has a useful effect (though it may not seem useful at first). It ignores defense so use it on characters with insane defense levels (like Nabu). It also lessens the amount of damage enemies deal to you. She's much more useful than she appears at first. ---MARS--- HP -503 Attack -63 Defence-42 Speed -36 Evade -45 She has high HP and attack and low defence, speed, and evade. Although you don't have to be as careful as with Jupiter, Uranus, and Venus, you need to make sure her defense is high and that she is in a safe position, otherwise she'll be wiped out pretty easily by tougher bosses. You'll find that it's better to use single attacks than links with her, if she is in front. ---JUPITER--- HP -522 Attack -67 Defence-42 Speed -39 Evade -39 She has the highest HP and 2nd highest attack in the game! However, her Evade is extremely low (watch out for Barrier, Fascination, Toxic Mist, etc.!) and her defense is low. Like Mars, take caution when placing her in formations and also equip her with defence-increaing accesories. The Rainbow Feather can solve her evade problems, if you're willing to use it on her. Also, single attacks will do better than links for her, if she is in front. ---VENUS--- HP -311 Attack -66 Defence-40 Speed -38 Evade -64 She has high attack, high evade, but low defense and speed! Her low defense and average HP makes her one of the least survivable in the game, so keeping her safe is very important! Otherwise, single attack will usually do more, unless you're stuck in the back. ---CHIBIMOON--- HP -319 Attack -43 Defence-47 Speed -66 Evade -44 Like Sailor Moon, Chibi-moon is very well-rounded. Her defense, attack, and evade are low, but are better than many others, and her speed is VERY HIGH. She almost always scores the first move in battle, which is very important. Link techs are very useful for Chibi-Moon, and she operates real well from the back row. Turn her into Super Sailor Chibi-Moon and you'll be able to do the most powerful link in the game if Super Sailor Moon is with you. Once again, get her LAP real high! ---URANUS--- HP -492 Attack -68 Defence-38 Speed -44 Evade -38 Uranus is similar to Jupiter, with high HP and attack and great speed, but low Evade and defense. Once again, make sure she's safe and defended. Space Sword Blaster and World Shaking will do more than your link moves usually if you're in the front. Along with Neptune and Pluto, she can pull off "Dead World Submerge", the ultimate link attack. ---NEPTUNE--- HP -316 Attack -38 Defence-62 Speed -36 Evade -66 Neptune is similar to Mercury, with high defense and evade, but with low attack and speed. She makes a great healer but can deal decent damage with her link moves, esecially when teamed with Uranus and Pluto. ---PLUTO--- HP -200 Attack -36 Defence-49 Speed -37 Evade -46 Pluto may seem weak, with all of her stats being below average except for defense, which is average, but in reality, she's one of the most powerful. Why? Two words. Time Stop! This move, although super expensive, keeps enemies from moving for 3 turns! It is possible to heal after you use it on the next turn, and you'll be able to keep on using it until your Colognes run out! Obviously, this move is extremely important, so don't leave Pluto out! She can also deal decent damage with link attacks, as well. ---SATURN--- HP -284 Attack -36 Defence-65 Speed -36 Evade -62 Many Sailor Saturn fans argue that Sailor Saturn is the most powerful of the senshi, and they're not wrong either, Saturn is very helpful and powerful in SM:AS. Although her stats seem very close to Sailor Moon's, she actually has much more power than that. Her Amulet and Destuction Tiara are among the most powerful senshi-specific items, increasing her attack and defense greatly when used together. Throw in a Red Pupil for speed and even more attack power and she's awesome. Her attacks will deal 2000-5000 hits points to many enemies, including bosses. She may lose a bit of her power later in the game, but she still has her almost invincible defense! She takes full use of the front position in Cluster, and her only attack link, Crescent Revolution, is seldom better that Death Reborn Revolution. Her other moves are very powerful healing moves that help her to be a very useful healer as well. She works very well with Moon, Chibi-Moon, and Venus. POWER ORDER When it comes to stats, the 10 Senshi each have their own good points and bad points. When putting your party in formation, be sure to take Attack and Defense into consideration. Here are the Senshi listed in order from strongest to weakest in each stat category. The senshi particularly high in a specific stat will be marked off from the rest. HP This is the amount of health you have. The maximum is 999. 1. Jupiter 522 2. Mars 503 3. Uranus 492 ---------------- 4. ChibiMoon 319 5. Neptune 316 6. Venus 311 7. Moon 303 8. Mercury 302 9. Saturn 284 10.Pluto 200 ATTACK This is a vital stat that determines how powerful your attacks are on the enemy. 1. Uranus 68 2. Jupiter 67 3. Venus 66 4. Mars 63 --------------- 5. ChibiMoon 43 6. Moon 40 7. Neptune 38 8. Mercury 37 9. Pluto 36 10.Saturn 36 DEFENSE This is a vital stat that determines how much damage the enemies' attacks inflict. 1. Saturn 65 2. Mercury 64 3. Moon 62 4. Neptune 62 --------------- 5. Pluto 49 6. ChibiMoon 47 7. Mars 42 8. Jupiter 42 9. Venus 40 10.Uranus 38 SPEED This stat determines who is going first. It's important to know you're senshi's speed and compare it to your enemies' in order to effectively chain your attacks and healing moves. 1. ChibiMoon 66 --------------- 2. Uranus 44 3. Moon 42 4. Mercury 40 5. Jupiter 39 6. Venus 38 7. Pluto 37 8. Mars 36 9. Neptune 36 10.Saturn 36 EVADE The higher this rating, the more likely it is for an enemy status effect to miss. Have this high when facing bosses that use many bad status effects. 1. Neptune 66 2. Moon 64 3. Venus 64 4. Mercury 63 5. Saturn 62 --------------- 6. Pluto 46 7. Mars 45 8. ChibiMoon 44 9. Jupiter 39 10.Uranus 38 USEFUL TEAMS MOON+MERCURY+MARS+JUPITER+VENUS This is a very handy team to have, and it adds to the story if you pick it for the Black Moon UFO, the Dark Palace, and your first confrontation with Apsu. Anyway, this team is perfect when it comes to double links. Everyone can link with each other, which makes this team have a great variety of moves. Another plus is that this team is the only one that can pull off the most powerful formation attack in the game, Sailor Planet Attack. This team has a ratio of 2 defenders to 3 attackers, so go with a formation that is more suitable to many attackers, like Shoot or Arrow (with Sailor Moon or Mercury in the very front). CHIBI-MOON+URANUS+NEPTUNE+PLUTO+SATURN The mirror image of the above party, except possibly more powerful. You only have one good attacker, Uranus, but if you put Saturn at the front of Cluster and give her suitable accesories, she will deal amazing damage without being hurt very much herself. Pluto works as a great healer from the back and is useful with her Time Stop. Neptune is a very good healer and link attacker. Chibi-Moon is also a powerful healer (with Sailor Saturn) and better with link attacks. MOON+VENUS+CHIBI-MOON+SATURN+(your choice) This team gives you Sailor Saturn's full link potential along with a variety of good attack and healing power. Add in your 5th person as Jupiter, Mars, or Uranus for even more attack power or use the extremely helpful Pluto. With the sheer amount of healing spells in this team's arsenal plus Sailor Saturn's powerful attack, this team is almost unbeatable. MOON+(MERCURY, NEPTUNE)+CHIBI-MOON+PLUTO+SATURN The enemy will have a very tough time trying to break through this team's defenses. However, it would seem its impossible to damage the enemy with this team, but if you build up LAP you should be able to do alot of decent damage to the enemy without good attackers in your party. Also, id you equip Saturn with the perfect trio of accessories (Dest. Tiara, Amulet, Red Pupil) she will become an extremely powerful attacker with Death Reborn Revolution. All of this and you'll barely be able to get hurt by the enemy (if Chibi-Moon and Pluto are in the back). -------------------- III. LINKS GUIDE -------------------- Some information about link techs. --Link attacks increase power when the characters performing the link have higher LAP. --Whenever a character performs (and this means only the character actually using it, not both linked characters) a link attack twice, her LAP will go up by 1. The maximum LAP you can reach is 255. --Link attacks seem to do the same damage in the back row as in the front. --Link attack damage is based on the combination of LAP and the attack power of the user. --Link attacks always cost 2EP per person for double and 3EP per person for triple. --There are many double links in the game, but only a few triple links: Stardust Stream Hit: Moon, Mercury, Mars Rainbow Heart Shower: Moon, Venus, Chibi-Moon Rainbow Heart Revolution: Moon, Chibi-Moon, Saturn Fire Thunder Shaking: Mars, Jupiter, Uranus Dead World Submerge: Uranus, Neptune, Pluto --Super Sailor Moon and Super Sailor Chibi-Moon can use a powerful link move called Double Rainbow Moon Heart Ache, which can not be found in the link menu, but is already there for you to use when you have both of these characters. -------------------- IV. FORMATION GUIDE -------------------- NOTES --The numbers are estimates that I came up with when attacking from different positions. Some of them maybe a little inaccurate, but it gives you a good idea of how much damage a character will do from a position. --People in the back row, although they can't attack with as much damage, are much safer from enemy attacks. Like in the Arrow formation: Someone in the middle will deal 3x as much damage to the enemy than if they would have been in the back, but enemies will also take 3x more damage to you than if you would have been in the back --The most defensive spot is in the back of a Victory formation, and the most offensive is in the middle of a Cluster formation. SHOOT--This formation makes a solid balance of offense and defense between your party members. Unfortunately, this formation has a bad special attack, and healers are put up front where they can be hurt. This is useful mainly whenever you have many attackers with low defense (like with the Planet Attack Formation). 1000 1000 1000 1000 1000 ARROW--This is a good formation if you have 3 overpowering characters but you do not want to subject yourself to the very low defense of the Cluster formation. Great if you have at least 2 weaklings or if your power character has a very low defense (i.e. Jupiter, Mars, and Uranus). Weakness is that it has lower-powered formation attack and severely handicapped back row(even though they make good healers). This class can always be a substitute for the Cluster formation if you're having defense problems. 300 1200 3200 1200 300 VICTORY--Great if you have many power-fighters but only 1 weakling (like in the case of when you have Chibi-Moon) The person in the back is nearly invincible, making it the best spot for a healer. The other spots need to be occupied by powerhouses that can back up the healer. Also, a really powerful formation attack. 2000 1000 150 1000 2000 CLUSTER--This is my favorite formation, and probably the best one too. Very similar to the Arrow formation, except this one deals about 66% more damage. Very good if you have a powerful defense character that also has a very decent attack (i.e. Saturn, Moon). Then you can put other heavy-hitters in the 2 slots, plus people in the back row can actually deal decent damage (a good place to put heavy-hitters with low defense i.e. Mars, Uranus, Jupiter). This all-around combination can be used in place of Shoot(all-powerhouse party) or Victory(3 powerhouses+ 2 healers). The #1 problem with this format is low defense, so if that ever becomes a problem, you should use Victory or Arrow instead. 2000 800 4500 2000 800 -------------------- V. BOSS GUIDE -------------------- SPOILERS I have not really included any spoilers in here, other than the bosses' names, which you could consider to be a spoiler. If you are wary of spoilers, then find out yourself who you're going to be fighting, and then come to this strategy guide if you need help. NOTES --The bosses hit point totals are not official, but they're accurate estimates that I came up with using my calculator and are pretty close to the bosses real HP total. --I tend to use the Cluster formation alot, since it has good attack power and is great for defensive characters. However, in some situations (mainly near the end of the game), you might want to use a more defensive position. --Recommended levels might be pretty steep, but if you're at that level, then beating the boss will be (much) easier. Many times one level can mean the difference between victory and defeat. --Recommended attacks are what will do the most damage to the enemy. However, you might want to use cheaper attacks because they are more cost-effective than more powerful and more expensive attacks. However, if you've got the Colognes to burn, you might as well use expensive ones. --A * by a character means that you could use a similar character (like Mercury instead of Neptune, or Jupiter instead of Uranus). On the other hand, a * by an attack means that that character may be better off doing a healing move than attacking. --My summary usually sums up just about everything you need to know about beating a boss, but if you need any additional help that might not be here, feel free to e-mail me (empbrandon@mchsi.com) ---------- CHAPTER 1 ---------- PERSIAN-CUT HP 20 Affiliation: Death Busters Difficulty: * Special Attack: none (just uses normal attack on you) Recommended Level: 1 Party: Moon Formation: Cluster ------ ------ Moon ------ ------ Recommended Attack: Moon Tiara Action Experience: 3 Yen: 500 Reward: Life Water This is your first battle and very easy too. You should easily beat this daimon with a few Moon Tiara Action, but even if you're about to die you can use your many healing items you have, so don't worry. COMBATER HP 50 Affiliation: Black Moon (?) Difficulty: * Special Attack: none (just uses normal attack on you) Recommended Level: 1 Party: Moon, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Venus Formation: Shoot Jupiter Mars Moon Mercury Venus Recommended Attack: anything will do (use basic special attacks) Experience: 26 Yen: 400 Reward: Life Water You vastly outnuber this boss plus he's quite easy. Should be no problem. COMBATER HP 50 Affiliation: Black Moon (?) Difficulty: * Special Attack: none (just uses normal attack on you) Recommended Level: 4 Party: Moon, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, Venus Formation: Shoot Jupiter Mars Moon Mercury Venus Recommended Attack: anything will do (use basic special attacks) Experience: 26 Yen: 400 Reward: Life Water Same as last fight, except your at a higher level (from the last fight) so it should be even easier. PALMACON HP 100 Affiliation: Death Busters Difficulty: * Special Attack: none (just uses normal attack on you) Recommended Level: 1 (Uranus, Neptune), 6 (Moon) Party: Moon, Uranus, Neptune Formation: Shoot Neptune Uranus Moon ----- ----- Recommended Attack: anything will do (use basic special attacks) Experience: 3 Yen: 200 Reward: Bandage This battle should be quite easy, just keep pounding away with the best attacks and she'll easily die. CURENEY GREEN HP 200 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom (?) Difficulty: * Special Attack: Sonic Wave Recommended Level: 6 Party: Moon, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn Formation: Shoot Neptune Uranus Moon Saturn ----- Recommended Attack: anything will do (use basic special attacks) Experience: 5 Yen: 2500 Reward: None You have almost all the outer scouts, plus you probably have some accesories equipped and at least Lv.4, so you should have no problem fighting this boss at all. If you do, then you are at an extremely low level, but this is almost impossible (if you've been fighting enemies). MUHREED HP 180 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom Difficulty: * Special Attack: Toxic Mist Recommended Level: 6 Party: Moon, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn Formation: Shoot Neptune Uranus Moon Saturn ----- Recommended Attack: anything will do (use basic special attacks) Experience: 5 Yen: 500 Reward: Application Medicine This will be a little hard if you haven't leveled up or equipped accesories, but not too much for you. She constantly attacks your party with Toxic Mist, trying to poison you. Once you have poison there is little you can do, except go ot the healer outside. Otherwise, she'll be taken down pretty easily, so don't worry. You fight this boss 2 times. JARCOCK HP 200 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom (?) Difficulty: * Special Attack: Toxic Mist, Sonic Wave, Fascination Recommended Level: 6 Party: Moon, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn Formation: Shoot Neptune Uranus Moon Saturn ----- Recommended Attack: anything will do (use basic special attacks) Experience: 5 Yen: 100 Reward: None This boss is also pretty easy. Just make sure you come into the fight healed, and you should be OK. Not hard for the final battle of the chapter. Fascination can be dangerous, so watch out, however. You fight this boss 2 times. ---------- CHAPTER 2 ---------- NABU HP 220 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: * Special Attack: none (just uses normal attack on you) Recommended Level: 17+ Party: Mercury Formation: Cluster ------ ------ Mercury ------ ------ Recommended Attack: Shine Aqua Illusion Experience: 30 Yen: 10 Reward: Moon Shard Your first battle vs. Nabu is pretty easy, just repeatedly use Shine Aqua Illusion. NABU HP 220 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: **** Special Attack: Tempest, Toxic Mist Recommended Level: 17+ Party: Mercury Formation: Cluster ------ ------ Mercury ------ ------ Recommended Attack: Shabon Spray Experience: 270 Yen: 2500 Reward: None Are you ready? Nabu gets mad and attacks you a second time. Be warned ahead of time that this boss has incredible defense, so your attack power will really matter alot. This will be nearly impossible to beat if you're totally unprepared. Basically if your attacks are doing damage in the single digits, then you're totally unprepared. There are three very helpful steps to this problem: 1) Make sure your level is at least 17 (preferably 18). 2) Bring plenty of healing items, if at all possible (BathMedics and IceShards included). 3) Adhere to the above formation and make sure your accesories are: 2 Saphhire special accesories, and a Bracelet. 4) Use the Shabon Spray attack on Nabu. It's cheap, ignores Nabu's incredible defense (even though it's weak), and causes a useful defensive effect. If you make all the necessary preparations this battle will be much easier. If you don't, this could well be the hardest boss in the game and will take forever to beat (her defense is insane!!!!). DESTROYER A(2) HP ?, DESTROYER B(2) HP ? Affiliation: Dark Kingdom Difficulty: * Special Attack: none Recommended Level: 6 Party: Mars Formation: any will do Recommended Attack: Burning Mandala Experience: 6 Yen: 20 Reward: None Easily wipe these idiots out with a Burning Mandala. DAISOUJOU HP 250 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom Difficulty: * Special Attack: Toxic Mist Recommended Level: 10+ Party: Mars Formation: Cluster ------ ------ Mars ------ ------ Recommended Attack: Mars Snake Fire Experience: 100 Yen: 300 Reward: Application Medicine He's pretty easy if you've leveled up enough. 2 Mars Snake Fire should do the trick. NERGAL HP 300 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Illusion, Whirlwind Cut Recommended Level: 15+ Party: Mars Formation: Cluster ------ ------ Mars ------ ------ Recommended Attack: Mars Snake Fire Experience: 300 Yen: 900 Reward: Moon Shard This boss has deadly-powerful attacks and a status-effect move (which can be bad if you only have one senshi). However, if Mars is at a high enough level, she should be able to finish her in only a few hits, so she should not be any big problem. MARDUK HP 540 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: ** Special Attack: none (just uses normal attack on you) Recommended Level: 15+ Party: Jupiter Formation: Cluster ------ ------ Jupiter ------ ------ Recommended Attack: any will do (Supreme Thunder is most cost effective) Experience: 300 Yen: 3000 Reward: None This battle, like the one with Nergal, is real easy, if you've leveled up to at least 15 and have both special accessories (don't miss out on these!). It can be long, so use Supreme Thunder constantly, and she should go down. HENCHMAN1(2) HP ?, HENCHMAN2(2) HP ? Affiliation: Death Busters (?) Difficulty: * Special Attack: none Recommended Level: 6 Party: Venus Formation: any will do Recommended Attack: Crescent Beam Shower Experience: 26 Yen: 760 Reward: None I easily wiped them out with one Crescent Beam Shower. Not really much of a boss battle. RADINA HP 400 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom (?) Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Toxic Mist Recommended Level: 12+ Party: Venus Formation: Cluster ------ ------ Venus ------ ------ Recommended Attack: Venus Wink Sword(Lv.14+), Love-me Chain(lv.13 or below) Experience: 100 Yen: 300 Reward: Rias Topaz She has a poisoning attack and does some decent damage to you, so if you're Lv.13 or below you might have some difficuly beating her, but otherwise she is pretty easy. HENCHMAN 2 HP 380 Affiliation: Death Busters (?) Difficulty: * Special Attack: None Recommended Level: 12+ Party: Venus Formation: most will work recommended Attack: Venus Wink Sword Experience: 120 Yen: 300 Reward: None One Wink Sword should do the trick on this "boss". (maybe 2 if you're at a lower level than 14) ISHTAR HP 330 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: * Special Attack: Fascination, Toxic Mist Recommended Level: 12+ Party: Venus Formation: Cluster ------ ------ Venus ------ ------ Recommended Attack: Venus Wink Sword Experience: 50 Yen: 700 Reward: Nakayoshi And Ishtar calls herself an Opposite Senshi? This is pathetic. She might have some nasty status effect moves, but she'll never get the chance to use them! Why? Because I killed her in one hit, not with Wink Sword, but with a regular attack!. As Artemis says, "the weakest dog barks the loudest". Anyway, she's easy. ---------- CHAPTER 3 ---------- BOXY(2) HP 20 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom (?) Difficulty: * Special Attack: None Recommended Level: 1 Party: ChibiMoon Formation: Cluster ------ ------ ChibiMoon ------ ------ Recommended Attack: normal attack Experience: 140 Yen: 1960 Reward: none Come on, if you won the battles against Ishtar and her Henchmen you should have no problems at all with this one (even if you forgot to equip Chibi-Usa) MISTRESS 9 HP 550 Affiliation: Death Busters Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Sonic Wave Recommended Level: 10+ Party: Moon Formation: Cluster ------ ------ Moon ------ ------ Recommended Attack: Moon Spiral Heart Attack Experience: 65 Yen: 12000 Reward: none She's quite easy if you're at a good enough level. Sonic Wave may give you problems, but it rarely works. KAOLINITE HP 650 Affiliation: Death Busters Difficulty: *** Special Attack: Sonic Wave Recommended Level: 10+ Party: Moon Formation: Cluster ------ ------ Moon ------ ------ Recommended Attack: Moon Spiral Heart Attack Experience: 65 Yen: 10000 Reward: Pearl Earring Kaolinite can be a severe pain if you're not at Lv11 yet. Her attacks will cause major damage and she has a previously unthought of amount of HP (650!). If that wasn't enough, she also has a chance of putting you to sleep! If you have trouble, make sure you have healing items handy, and make sure you're at at high level. Otherwise, it should not be that tough. GELMADOID HP 1000 Affiliation: Death Busters Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Sonic Wave, Toxic Wave, Fascination Recommended Level: 10+ Party: Moon, Saturn Formation: Cluster Moon ------ Saturn ------ ------ Recommended Attack: Moon: Moon Spiral Heart Attack Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Experience: 65 Yen: 13000 Reward: none This boss has many different special attacks along with high HP and good defense. However, this time you have 2 Sailor Scouts (and Saturn's really good^_^), so if you beat Kaolinite you should have no problem with this guy. If you do, then go outside and level up some more. STONE DANGER HP 1700 Affiliation: Death Busters Difficulty: * Special Attack: none Recommended Level: 10+ Party: Moon, Saturn Formation: Cluster Moon ------ Saturn ------ ------ Recommended Attack: Moon: Moon Spiral Heart Attack Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Experience: 65 Yen: 12000 Reward: none If you have both the Destruction Tiara and the Amulet, this battle will be a piece of cake. This monster deals between 1-5 damage to you and Death Reborn Revolution can do up to 1500 DAMAGE!!!! Using Saturn will be a necessity in some of the later boss battles. DD GIRLS 1 HP 1600 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Barrier Recommended Level: 12+ Party: Moon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, ChibiMoon Formation: Victory Saturn Moon ChibiMoon Neptune Uranus Recommended Attack: Moon: Spiral Reflection Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Neptune: Spiral Reflection Uranus: Pink Sugar Blaster Experience: 89 Yen: 5000 Reward: Life Water If you are totally unprepared, then the DD Girls can give you big time trouble. Saturn and her Death Reborn Revolution should help tremendously in this battle (dealing 600+ damage) as also Uranus with Space Sword/Pink Sugar Blaster(450+ damage). Barrier might give you trouble if you do not finish this boss off fast. DD GIRLS 2 HP 1725 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Toxic Mist, Fascination Recommended Level: 12+ Party: Moon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, ChibiMoon Formation: Victory Saturn Moon ChibiMoon Neptune Uranus Recommended Attack: Moon: Spiral Reflection Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Neptune: Spiral Reflection Uranus: Pink Sugar Blaster Experience: 104 Yen: 6500 Reward: None This boss hits with nasty Status Effect that can ruin your day if you don't kill this boss fast. Keep the attacks coming and use Bath Medicine if you're in trouble. Again, Death Reborn Revolution will make this battle easy. DD GIRLS 3 HP 1800 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Tempest Recommended Level: 12+ Party: Moon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, ChibiMoon Formation: Victory Saturn Moon ChibiMoon Neptune Uranus Recommended Attack: Moon: Spiral Reflection Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Neptune: Spiral Reflection Uranus: Pink Sugar Blaster Experience: 99 Yen: 7200 Reward: Special Cake This boss's Tempest can cause major damage to those with low defense (i.e. Uranus), so make sure you don't put her in front in Cluster or Arrow formations. Otherwise, you should be able to beat this boss before it can do major damage to you. If Uranus is constantly getting killed then put her in a more defensive position. DD GIRLS 4 HP 1780 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Whirlwind Cut Recommended Level: 12+ Party: Moon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, ChibiMoon Formation: Victory Saturn Moon ChibiMoon Neptune Uranus Recommended Attack: Moon: Spiral Reflection Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Neptune: Spiral Reflection Uranus: Pink Sugar Blaster Experience: 104 Yen: 7000 Reward: Confetti This boss is very similar to the last one, only a little harder. Use the same strategy as the last boss and also be on guard against her powerful Whirlwind Cut. DD GIRLS 5 HP 2400 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom Difficulty: *** Special Attack: Whirlwind Cut, Illusion Recommended Level: 14+ Party: Moon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, ChibiMoon Formation: Victory Saturn Moon ChibiMoon Neptune Uranus Recommended Attack: Moon: Spiral Reflection Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Neptune: Spiral Reflection Uranus: Pink Sugar Blaster Experience: 110 Yen: 10000 Reward: Yaga Soup With high hit points, a powerful damaging Whirlwind Cut, and a nasty status effect causing spell, this is a tough boss. Make sure you're at a good level and keep those healing items coming if you're in a desparate situation. She should go down fairly quickly, however. QUEEN BERYL HP 2200 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Sonic Wave, Toxic Mist, Facination Recommended Level: 14+ Party: Moon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, ChibiMoon Formation: Victory Saturn Moon ChibiMoon Neptune Uranus Recommended Attack: Moon: Spiral Reflection Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Neptune: Spiral Reflection Uranus: Pink Sugar Blaster Experience: 120 Yen: 5000 Reward: Fragrance She has a variety of status spells and decent amount of HP, but her defense is weak, and she should be very easy to defeat. SUPER BERYL HP ? Affiliation: Dark Kingdom Difficulty: *****++ Special Attack: Evil Surge(9999 to all) Recommended Level: 99 Party: Moon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, ChibiMoon Formation: Victory Saturn Moon ChibiMoon Neptune Uranus Recommended Attack: Moon: Spiral Reflection Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Neptune: Spiral Reflection Uranus: Pink Sugar Blaster Experience: ? Yen: ? Reward: ? This battle is impossible to win. Give it up. I don't even think you can beat her if you're at Lv99. She'll easily wipe you out with Evil Surge. Don't worry, however, because you're supposed to lose. SUPER BERYL HP 5000 Affiliation: Dark Kingdom Difficulty: *** Special Attack: Whirlwind Cut, Illusion Recommended Level: 14+ Party: Moon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, ChibiMoon Formation: Victory Saturn Moon ChibiMoon Neptune Uranus Recommended Attack: Moon: Spiral Reflection Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Neptune: Spiral Reflection Uranus: Pink Sugar Blaster Experience: 1000 Yen: 30000 Reward: Manicure This boss is similar to the 5th DD Girl except much harder. Keep those attacks coming, and have ChibiMoon heal constantly. If you keep it up, she should go down easily. You get mucho experience from this battle. ---------- CHAPTER 4 ---------- NERGAL HP 1500 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: * Special Attack: Whirlwind Cut, Illusion Recommended Level: 14+ Party: Moon, Saturn, ChibiMoon, Venus, Mars Formation: Cluster Mars Venus Saturn Moon ChibiMoon Recommended Attack: Mars: Mars Snake Fire Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Chain* Moon: Spiral Fire Venus: Crescent Revolution Experience: 300 Yen: 5000 Reward: Life Can You shouldn't have much trouble fighting this boss. She's very easy if you have Saturn, and she's still easy if you don't have her. DIMENSION T. HP 2500 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi (?) Difficulty: * Special Attack: None Recommended Level: 20+ Party: Moon, Saturn, ChibiMoon, Venus*, Mars* Formation: Cluster Mars Venus Saturn Moon ChibiMoon Recommended Attack: Mars: Mars Snake Fire Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Chain* Moon: Spiral Fire Venus: Crescent Revolution Experience: 1200 Yen: 10 Reward: Holy Water This battle was really easy for me, because I had Saturn with a Red Pupil, and was at Lv22. With this creature receiving 1500 from both Mars and Saturn, it really doesn't have a chance to hurt you. Another really easy boss. You fight these 4 bosses one after another with no rest in between, so be warned. Make sure your levels are high and your formation is right before you go into battle against them. Also, try to stock up on healing items from the travelling merchant that happens to be on the UFO for some weird reason. I highly reccomend having Saturn and with a Red Pupil. COOAN HP 8000 Affiliation: Black Moon Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Dark Fire Recommended Level: 24+ Party: Moon, Saturn, Mercury*, Pluto, Jupiter* Formation: Cluster Moon Mercury Saturn Jupiter Pluto Recommended Attack: Jupiter: Sparkling Wide Pressure Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Mercury: Shabon Thunder* Moon: Spiral Scream Pluto: Time Stop* Experience: 1925 Yen: 4000 Reward: Fragrance She's first up and she's pretty easy if you've leveled up enough. Just keep pounding her with your best attacks. Her Dark Fire shouldn't do that much damage either.(Saturn does 5000+ if she has both accessories and the Red Pupil BERUCHE HP 9000 Affiliation: Black Moon Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Dark Water Recommended Level: 24+ Party: Moon, Saturn, Mercury*, Pluto, Jupiter* Formation: Cluster Moon Mercury Saturn Jupiter Pluto Recommended Attack: Jupiter: Sparkling Wide Pressure Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Mercury: Shabon Thunder* Moon: Spiral Scream Pluto: Time Stop* Experience: 2125 Yen: 6000 Reward: Moon Shard Again, this battle shouldn't prove too much of a challenge. Her Dark Water is much more powerful than Cooan's Dark Fire and her HP is higher, but she still should be quite easy. KARABERAS HP 14000 Affiliation: Black Moon Difficulty: *** Special Attack: Whirlwind Cut, Dark Bute Recommended Level: 24+ Party: Moon, Saturn, Mercury*, Pluto, Jupiter* Formation: Cluster Moon Mercury Saturn Jupiter Pluto Recommended Attack: Jupiter: Sparkling Wide Pressure Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Mercury: Shabon Thunder* Moon: Spiral Scream Pluto: Time Stop* Experience: 2725 Yen: 7000 Reward: Yaga Soup Now here's where you may start having problems. Her Dark Bute will take half of your hit points regardless of your defense and Whirlwind Cut will easily catch party members with low defense off guard. If you're having trouble, you might want to go back and gain levels Otherwise, its pretty easy if you have Saturn. PETZ HP 20000 Affiliation: Black Moon Difficulty: *** Special Attack: Dark Thunder, Barrier, Sonic Wave Recommended Level: 24+ Party: Moon, Saturn, Mercury*, Pluto, Jupiter* Formation: Cluster Moon Mercury Saturn Jupiter Pluto Recommended Attack: Jupiter: Sparkling Wide Pressure Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Mercury: Shabon Thunder* Moon: Spiral Scream Pluto: Time Stop* Experience: 2925 Yen: 8000 Reward: Life Can They definitely saved the hardest for last! With a stoning attack, a powerful thunder move, plus alot of hit points, this boss may give you trouble. Once again, make sure you're at a high level if you're having trouble. Just hang in there and keep healing, and you should be able to beat her. RUBEUS HP 25000 Affiliation: Black Moon Difficulty: **** Special Attack: Illusion, Whirlwind Cut Recommended Level: 24+ Party: Moon, Saturn, ChibiMoon, Pluto, Venus* Formation: Cluster Moon ChibiMoon Saturn Venus Pluto Recommended Attack: Venus: Crescent Revolution Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Chain* Moon: Spiral Scream Pluto: Time Stop* Experience: 1800 Yen: 5000 Reward: Yaga Soup Now the bosses are starting to get harder. This boss could cause alot of trouble with his high defense and hit points, but I have a strategy that'll make him easier to beat. Put Saturn in front of Cluster, with all her accessories plus Red Pupil and have her do Death Reborn Revolution while everyone else defends (or Pluto could heal or use Time Stop). This way Rubeus won't be able to hurt you much and you can kill him. DRAGON HP 31500 Affiliation: Black Moon Difficulty: **** Special Attack: Tempest Recommended Level: 32+ Party: Moon, Saturn, ChibiMoon, Pluto, Venus* Formation: Cluster Moon ChibiMoon Saturn Venus Pluto Recommended Attack: Venus: Crescent Revolution Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Chain* Moon: Spiral Scream Pluto: Time Stop* Experience: 4520 Yen: 10 Reward: Fragrance Well, this battle is entirely optional, so you don't have to fight it (btw, if you don't know where to fight this battle, you fight it in the ice caves near Kainess (in the past). Go in the upper cave and then get ready before going down the staircase.) Anyway, if you want to win, use the strategy I used on Rubeus. Constantly hit it with Death Reborn Revolution until it finally dies (you may have to use EP-healing items so you can keep on using it). Believe me, this guy is no piece of cake. It's not over yet.... ESMARUADE HP 29000 Affiliation: Black Moon Difficulty: ***** Special Attack: Illusion, Whirlwind Cut, Toxic Mist Recommended Level: 32+ Party: Moon, Saturn, ChibiMoon, Pluto, Venus* Formation: Cluster Moon ChibiMoon Saturn Venus Pluto Recommended Attack: Venus: Crescent Revolution Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Chain* Moon: Spiral Scream Pluto: Time Stop* Experience: 5600 Yen: 5500 Reward: Red Pupil Think you're gonna get a rest from that long battle against the Dragon? Think again. The Dragon turns out to be Esmaruade, who immediately challenges you to a fight. This is going to be a long hard battle regardless of what you do. Use the strategy with Saturn again, but this time you're going to have to worry about members getting confused or poisoned, and her Whirlwind Cut is sure to do major damage to anyone who is not defending (it even does decent damage to Saturn!!). Hang in there with your healers and use Time Stop to give you some extra healing time. This battle will be insanely difficult if you don't have either Mercury, Saturn, or Pluto. What do you get after hours(maybe) of long hard work? A 2nd Red Pupil! Enjoy! BLACK LADY HP 32000 Affiliation: Black Moon Difficulty: *** Special Attack: Illusion, Toxic Mist, Whirlwind Cut Recommended Level: 32+ Party: Uranus*, Saturn, ChibiMoon, Pluto, Mars* Formation: Cluster Uranus ChibiMoon Saturn Mars Pluto Recommended Attack: Uranus: Space Sword Blaster Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Mars: Mars Snake Fire Pluto: Time Stop* Experience: 15000 Yen: 4000 Reward: Anklet This battle, although tough, is not extremely difficult. Have Pluto use Time Stop to keep her from attacking, then pound away with Uranus, Saturn and Mars. Just keep attacking her and try to do Time Stop again so you can keep Mars and Uranus from taking too much damage, and she should go down pretty fast. SIN HP 30000 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: **** Special Attack: Illusion, Whirlwind Cut, Toxic Mist Recommended Level: 34+ Party: Uranus*, Saturn, ChibiMoon, Pluto, Mars* Formation: Cluster Uranus ChibiMoon Saturn Mars Pluto Recommended Attack: Uranus: Space Sword Blaster Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Mars: Mars Snake Fire Pluto: Time Stop* Experience: 20000 Yen: 11800 Reward: Rias Topaz Finally, you get to fight Sin herself! She's no piece of cake either. She will deal major damage to low defense party members, and she can hurt back row/defended party members with her many status spells. Plus she has a better defense than Black Lady, so it'll take longer. Stick to a strategy that envolves using Time Stop, and then attacking with low defense/high attack characters, but have them defend once Sin is able to attack again. Saturn and her Death Reborn Revolution will come in handy as well. Keep the EP-healing items coming, and this battle should be easy. ---------- CHAPTER 5 ---------- KISHAL HP 15000 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: * Special Attack: Whirlwind Cut, Illusion Recommended Level: 34+ Party: Saturn, Moon, Pluto Formation: Cluster Moon ----- Saturn Pluto ----- Recommended Attack: Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Pluto: Time Stop* Moon: Moon Spiral Heart Attack/Rainbow Moon Heart Ache Experience: 20000 Yen: 5000 Reward: None This is a refreshing break from all the hard battles you've been having. You have both Saturn and Pluto plus Kishal has an awful defense and low HP. Take him out easily! Ok, it's time for a trip to the future. You'll be fighting the toughest enemies here, so make sure you have plenty of healing items before going to the future. Also, you have to worry about splitting your party into 2 teams (Moon's and ChibiMoon's). Storywise, you would put the Inner Senshi with Moon, and the Outer Senshi with Chibimoon. However, this arrangement (without either Saturn or Pluto) will put Sailor Moon's team in a bad situation. I'd recommend you to put Saturn in one team and Pluto in another to give each team an advantage. You'll fight the Opposite Senshi with Moon's team. They have plenty of attacks, and you face them in twos (except for Sin) and they will probably be your hardest opponents. You'll fight the Witches 5+Anshar with ChibiMoon's group. These enemies are generally less powerful and only one of these is a two-at-a-time. Here's my party arrangement: Moon--Pluto, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury ChibiMoon--Saturn, Venus, Uranus, Neptune When you're through making your teams, make sure you level Sailor Moon's party as high up as you can before facing the bosses. The same goes for ChibiMoon's party, as when you finish this scenario, you'll go to the Time Gate to battle Apsu. The Time Gate has low-leveled enemies, so you won't be able to level up much there. So make sure you're leveled up ahead of time! MARDUK HP 30000, NERGAL HP 32000 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: ***** Special Attack: Marduk: Fascination, Hell Thunder Nergal: H-Lame Heart, Dark Fire, Fascination Recommended Level: 45+ Party: Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto Formation: Cluster Jupiter Mercury Moon Mars Pluto Recommended Attack: Mars: Burning Mandala Pluto: Time Stop* Moon: Rainbow Moon Heart Ache Jupiter: Coconut Cyclone Mercury: Shabon Thunder* Experience: 65500 Yen: 75000 Reward: Fragrance, Moon Shard Do you think they're going to be as easy as Kishal? Think again, they're the opposite. They both have cool-looking, powerful moves that'll deal major damage to all your party member. So, how are you going to beat them? Having Pluto cast Time Stop, refill her EP, and have her do it over and over again will assure victory if you have enough Colognes. If you know that one of your front-line senshi(i.e. Jupiter, Mars) are going to get wiped out(which they probably are) have them defend until Pluto can use Time Stop again. Don't have Pluto? Well, there's always Saturn. You could put her in front and have her do Death Reborn Revolution (while taking only about 50 damage per turn) over and over again while the rest of the party defends. This will also work with Super Sailor Moon and Rainbow Moon Heart Ache (in front, of course), but it'll be much more expensive to perform. If you have Sailor Planet Attack (Mercury, Mars, Venus, Moon, Jupiter), put Moon in front and have her use it while everyone defends. Don't even think about using single-target moves, either. The only ones that'll work well in this fight are multi-target. Well, after you beat them don't starting relaxing yet, you've got 2 more battles! NABU HP 33000, ISHTAR HP 35000 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: ***** Special Attack: Nabu: Dark Water, HellFreezing, Fascination Ishtar: Hell Shower, Dark Bute, Fascination Recommended Level: 45+ Party: Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto Formation: Cluster Jupiter Mercury Moon Mars Pluto Recommended Attack: Mars: Burning Mandala Pluto: Time Stop* Moon: Rainbow Moon Heart Ache Jupiter: Coconut Cyclone Mercury: Shabon Thunder* Experience: 66485 Yen: 39000 Reward: Fragrance, Moon Drop Despite their higher HP, they are not really that hard if you did well in the last battle. If you had problems with the last one, you'll have problems with this too, as Ishtar's Dark Bute takes half of your hit points regardless of the defense. Another tough battle, but if you use the same strategy as the last battle, you should win, it'll just take long. Only one more battle left... SIN HP 45000 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: ***** Special Attack: Barrier, Evil Surge, Hell Attack Recommended Level: 45+ Party: Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Pluto Formation: Cluster Jupiter Mercury Moon Mars Pluto Recommended Attack: Mars: Mars Snake Fire Pluto: Time Stop* Moon: Rainbow Moon Heart Ache Jupiter: Sparkling Wide Pressure Mercury: Shabon Thunder* Experience: 45432 Yen: 35000 Reward: Manicure You only fight her, but it's quite tough anyway. Stick to the strategies you used in the last battles, except use single-target attacks instead of multi-target. When you beat her, you're finally finished with Moon's scenario! EUDIAL HP 25000 Affiliation: Death Busters Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Sonic Wave, Fire Buster Recommended Level: 45+ Party: ChibiMoon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Venus Formation: Cluster Uranus Neptune Saturn Venus Chibi-Moon Recommended Attack: Venus: Venus Wink Sword ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Uranus: Space Sword Blaster Neptune: Pink Sugar Reflection* Experience: 28356 Yen: 5000 Reward: Toilette She has a powerful fire attack, but it should be no problem because of her low defense and HP. Beat her before she has a chance to hurt you. MIMETT HP 20000 Affiliation: Death Busters Difficulty: *** Special Attack: Fascination Recommended Level: 45+ Party: ChibiMoon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Venus Formation: Cluster Uranus Neptune Saturn Venus Chibi-Moon Recommended Attack: Venus: Venus Wink Sword ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Uranus: Space Sword Blaster Neptune: Pink Sugar Reflection* Experience: 28087 Yen: 8000 Reward: White Rose Despite her lower HP, Mimett is more difficult than Eudial because of her constant "Fascination" attack will make it to where you can't even control your characters. Try to kill her before she get everyone in your party under her control (then you'll definitely lose). TELLU HP 28000 Affiliation: Death Busters Difficulty: *** Special Attack: Illusion, Whirlwind Cut Recommended Level: 45+ Party: ChibiMoon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Venus Formation: Cluster Uranus Neptune Saturn Venus Chibi-Moon Recommended Attack: Venus: Venus Wink Sword ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Uranus: Space Sword Blaster Neptune: Pink Sugar Reflection* Experience: 29543 Yen: 9000 Reward: Fragrance Well, she constantly hits you with Illusion(not as bad as Mimett's Fascination) and damaging Whirlwind Cut, but you should be able to beat her easily if you're able to beat Eudial with no problem. VILUY HP 28000 Affiliation: Death Busters Difficulty: ** Special Attack: Illusion, Whirlwind Cut Recommended Level: 45+ Party: ChibiMoon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Venus Formation: Cluster Uranus Neptune Saturn Venus Chibi-Moon Recommended Attack: Venus: Venus Wink Sword ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Uranus: Space Sword Blaster Neptune: Pink Sugar Reflection* Experience: 28553 Yen: 7520 Reward: Bentou Set She's pretty easy compared to Mimett and Tellu, because her defense is low. Most of your best attacks will do 5000+ so just hit her with the best you got, and you should win easily. CYPRINE HP 25000, PUCHIROL HP 27000 Affiliation: Death Busters Difficulty: **** Special Attack: Cyprine: Whirlwind Cut, Illusion Puchirol: Illusion Recommended Level: 45+ Party: ChibiMoon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Venus Formation: Cluster Uranus Neptune Saturn Venus Chibi-Moon Recommended Attack: Venus: Crescent Beam Shower ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Uranus: World Shaking Neptune: Deep Shaking* Experience: 50000 Yen: 8000 Reward: Fragrance, Moon Shard This battle is a toughy if you're not prepared. Both will cast Illusion, and if it ends up hitting, then you're in serious. You could go ahead and try to finish them off fast, but they have alot of HP, so it'll still take time even if your best attacks are dealing 5000+. Bring plenty of Bath Medicine just in case. Also Toilette and Bentou Sets are good since Cyprine will Whirlwind Cut on undefended "illusioned" senshi. It'll be pretty easy if you prepare. ANSHAR HP 35000 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: * Special Attack: Whirlwind Cut Recommended Level: 45+ Party: ChibiMoon, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Venus Formation: Cluster Uranus Neptune Saturn Venus Chibi-Moon Recommended Attack: Venus: Venus Wink Sword ChibiMoon: Pink Sugar Blaster* Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Uranus: Space Sword Blaster Neptune: Pink Sugar Reflection* Experience: 55432 Yen: 50000 Reward: None This boss battle is quite easy. In fact, the boss battle music isn't even playing in this fight! I only consider it a boss battle because it's not a random battle. Well, just keep pounding with your best attacks, and don't worry, his W. Cut doesn't do much at all. APSU HP 72000 Affiliation: Oppositio Senshi Difficulty: ***** Special Attack: Dark Sun, Toxic Mist Recommended Level: 45+ Party: Moon, Saturn, Pluto, Uranus*, Neptune* Formation: Cluster Neptune Uranus Saturn Moon Pluto Alternate: Victory Moon Uranus Pluto Neptune Saturn Recommended Attack: Moon: Spiral Reflection, (S)Rainbow Moon Heart Ache Saturn: Death Reborn Revolution Neptune: Spiral Reflection* Uranus: Space Sword Blaster Pluto: Time Stop Experience: 4464 Yen: 18928 Reward: None With an insane amount of HP, an incredibly powerful defense, and an attack that is sure to wipe out anybody with a defense less than 100, Apsu is extremely difficult. There is a method that'll make it much easier, but you have to have Pluto in your party and plenty of Cologne. Just have her cast Time Stop every other round and Apsu will not be able to attack you! Heal your EP with a Cologne in between each turn (you'll be eating 20+ of them, so make sure you have alot) It'll still take a long time no matter what you do. If you don't have Pluto, then try to heal as much as you can and pray that she doesn't use Dark Sun. Anyway, you'll be suprised that you haven't won the game yet! ---------- FINAL BOSS ---------- OK, after all the conversation scenes after you beat Apsu are finished, you wind up in the Crystal Palace. Well..., there's three things you can do now: 1) Go outside and level up a bit more (this is recommended at this point), 2) Get 10 Angel Pins from the merchant in the pink suit for completing your puzzle (if you have completed your puzzle, then go to this guy immediately! These accesories are one of your main tools in defeating Apsu), 3) Stock up on useful items from stores, and 4) Go to the basement of the Crystal Palace to fight Demon Apsu. LEVELING UP TO THE MAX Whenever you try to leave the Crystal Palace, you'll be taken to the party select screen to select your party. Pick who you want to level up the most (you can come back and change your party later), and then go out and battle enemies! It'll take many, many battles to level up at the point you're at, but at this point you should also be able to wipe any of these enemies out with one multi-attack. Lv. 55 would be a safe bet to get to before you fight Apsu. ACCESSORY USE At this point you should have 10 Angel Pins and 2 Red Pupils (if you don't, oh well), and how you equip your accessories will matter big time. Equipping all the sailors with their 2 senshi-specific accesories plus an Angel Pin sounds like a good idea, and it is, but there's some better strategies you can do. Characters like Uranus, Jupiter, Mars, and Venus have an annoying tendency to get instantly wiped out by Apsu with one attack, and the best way to combat this is to use multiple Angel Pins on them. Red Pupils will serve there purpose on hi-defense characters like Moon and Saturn. Basically try some combinations, and see which one get you the best stats. ATTACK MEMBERS (MARS, JUPITER, VENUS, URANUS)--3 ANGEL PINS, OR 2 ANGEL PINS and a RED PUPIL DEFENSE-ATTACKERS (MOON, SATURN)--2 ANGEL PINS and a RED PUPIL DEFENSE MEMBERS (NEPTUNE, MERCURY, PLUTO, CHIBI-MOON)--ANYTHING GOES (just use their senshi-specific accesories) STOCK UP ON HEALING ITEMS Although it is imperative to go to the stores in Crystal Tokyo and stock up on items, many enemies you fight on the streets will give you everything you need for your fight with Apsu, so fight enemies as well. Make sure you at least have 50+ Colognes before fighting her. BEFORE THE BATTLE You battle Apsu with two parties. The first party (Moon's) will go out first, and if that team loses, the second team (Chibi-Moon's) will come out to fight. Just to warn your right off the bat, when you fight with Moon's party, it's much, much harder than with Chibi-Moon's. You could do both teams to get ready, but you must make a choice: do you want to try and beat her with Moon's party (and get a better ending), or do you want to let Moon's team get wiped out and fight an easier battle vs. Apsu (but a worse ending). Make your decision and stick to it. Here's my teams: MOON vs. APSU Moon, Saturn, Mars, Uranus, Pluto CHIBI-MOON vs. APSU Chibi-Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Pluto Anyway, once you've reached the basement, you'll choose teams, and then you'll be in control of Moon's team. Make sure you're ready, then go through the door. Here she is..... DEMON APSU HP 120000!

STORY GUIDE -------------------- *WARNING* THIS DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS RELATION TO THE ANIME AND/OR MANGA The story of Sailor Moon: Another Story is original and occurs after S and before Super S. It contains elements of both the manga and anime (pretty neat, huh?). This is a guide to the character roles in Another Story (although I might throw in some extra stuff from the series). ---SAILOR SENSHI--- The heroes of Sailor Moon! There's plenty of information about them in the show and around the web. TSUKINO USAGI/SAILOR MOON/SUPER SAILOR MOON/PRINCESS SERENITY(past)/NEO-QUEEN SERENITY(future) MIZUNO AMI/SAILOR MERCURY AINO MINAKO/SAILOR VENUS HINO REI/SAILOR MARS KINO MAKOTO/SAILOR JUPITER CHIBI-USA/SAILOR CHIBIMOON/SUPER SAILOR CHIBIMOON/SMALL LADY SERENITY(future) TENOU HARUKA/SAILOR URANUS KAIOU MICHIRU/SAILOR NEPTUNE MEIOU SETSUNA/SAILOR PLUTO TOMOE HOTARU/SAILOR SATURN CHIBA MAMORU/TUXEDO KAMEN/PRINCE ENDYMION(past)/KING ENDYMION(future) ---DARK KINGDOM--- The enemies of the first season of Sailor Moon. They were under Queen Metallia (who doesn't appear in SM:AS) and her subordinate, Queen Beryl. YOUMA--The monsters used by the Dark Kingdom. Very common early in the game. DD GIRLS--Powerful youma that you have to fight before you reach Queen Beryl. There are 5 of them and they can be hard if you're unprepared. QUEEN BERYL--You find her after you beat the DD Girls. She claims that she has escaped her destiny of being beaten by the Ginzuishou (due to the Apsu's interference) and says she'll kill you once and for all. She gets beaten again, but this time she is able to transform into Super Beryl without being infused with Metallia... SUPER BERYL--Once she tranforms, she destroys the Sailor Senshi. The senshi wonder if she can be beaten, when they come up with the plan of beating her with both Ginzuishou of the present and the future. She is, once again, defeated, now with the help of the Outer Senshi. ---BLACK MOON--- The enemies of the second season of Sailor Moon (R). They were under Prince Demando, who was being controlled by the Wiseman (Death Phantom), who does not appear in SM:AS. DROIDO--The standard monster for the Black Moon. COOAN--One of the Ayakashi Sisters. She is the counterpart of Mars and the first sister you fight on the Black Moon UFO. BERUCHE--One of the Ayakashi Sisters. She is the counterpart of Mercury and the second sister you fight on the Black Moon UFO. KARABERAS--One of the Ayakashi Sisters. She is the counterpart of Venus and the third sister you fight on the Black Moon UFO. PETZ--One of the Ayakashi Sisters. She is the counterpart of Jupiter and the last sister you fight on the Black Moon UFO. RUBEUS--One of the Black Moon. He blocks off the Sailor Senshi from the ark n the past, and tries to defeat the Sailor Senshi. He once again fails. ESMARAUDE--One of the Black Moon. The Sailor Senshi meet her in an ice cave near Kainess. She had been disguised as a dragon and was scaring the villagers away. She, like Rubeus, refuses to give away any information of the Barazuishou, except the fact that is in the hands of Prince Demando. She is once again kile SAPPHIRE--One of the Black Moon. He is not happy with his new destiny and tells the Sailor Senshi where Demando is hiding after he kidnaps Sailor Moon. He tries to protect his brother from Sin, but is killed. PRINCE DEMANDO--Leader of the Black Moon. He goes scrambling into the past with the Barazuishou. He is successful in kidnapping Sailor Moon, but gives it up due to his brother's influence later on. Sin, never forgetting what the Black Moon did to her family, mercilessly kills Prince Demando. BLACK LADY--Once the result of the Wiseman's experiments. She is the grown-up Chibiusa who was tricked into thinking no one loved her by the Wiseman. She is revived due to the interference of Apsu. She serves Apsu unquestionably and plans on killing her former self and the Sailor Senshi before they can reach Sailor Moon. Chibi-Moon proves herself stronger, and along with her friends, defeats Black Lady. ---FIORE AND FRIENDS--- The enemies of the Sailor Moon R Movie. His plan was revenge for the loneliness which he suffered throughout his life, but was really a pawn for the alien plant, Kisenian (who doesn't seem to appear in Another Story). His only friend was Mamoru, and he was jealous of all the others who had befriended Mamoru, including Sailor Moon. FLOWER MONSTERS--The monsters used by Fiore. You'll find them around the Time Gate and in the Dark Palace. FIORE--He is revived by Apsu, and blocks the way to the Time Gate when the senshi are headed for the future. Tuxedo Kamen decides to stay behind and fight, and he kills Fiore, but is captured by Apsu after that. ---DEATH BUSTERS--- The ememies of the third series of Sailor Moon (S). They were lead by Germatoid (who had taken control of Dr. Tomoe's body), and Mistress 9 (an alien spirit that was inside Hotaru's body). Their purpose was to bring Pharaoh 90, who does not appear in SM:AS, to earth and destroy all life on earth. They use the sorceress Kaolinite and the Witches 5 to carry out their plans. DAIMON--The monsters of the Death Busters. Their job was to steal pure hearts and fight the Sailor Senshi. They are probably the most common of the regular enemies you fight in this game. DR. TOMOE/GERMATOID--Supposedly he had died, but was brought back to life by Apsu. He was commanded to kill Sailor Moon by Sin. Inviting her to Tomoe Labs, he summons Mistress 9 and Kaolinite to defeat Sailor Moon, but fails. When Germatoid himself faces Sailor Moon, he loses as well, but Tomoe still seems to be possessed. His possession is finally removed by Moon and Saturn, but he sadly dies again... MISTRESS 9--Evil alien entity revived due to Hotaru/Sailor Saturn's destiny being apart from the protective Ginzuishou for so long. Once again summoned to defeat Sailor Moon, she is defeated and restored to being Hotaru. KAOLINITE--Sorceress of the Death Busters and secretary to Dr. Tomoe. She is summoned after Mistress 9 is defeated to kill Sailor Moon, but she is once again defeated. EUDIAL--1st of the Witches 5 and a counterpart of Mars. She is revived as a servant of Anshar and guards one of the crystal points of Crystal Tokyo. MIMET--2nd of the Witches 5 and a counterpart of Venus. She is revived as a servant of Anshar and guards one of the crystal points of Crystal Tokyo. TELLU--3rd of the Witches 5 and a counterpart of Jupiter. She is revived as a servant of Anshar and guards one of the crystal points of Crystal Tokyo. VILUY--4th of the Witches 5 and a counterpart of Mercury. She is revived as a servant of Anshar and guards one of the crystal points of Crystal Tokyo. CYPRINE/PUCHIROL--5th of the Witches 5 and a counterpart of Moon. She is revived as a servant of Anshar and guards one of the crystal points of Crystal Tokyo. ---FOUR GENERALS--- They were once servants of Queen Beryl and the Dark Kingdom, but now guard the Prince of the Earth, Endymion. They ruled from four different locations on Earth. ZOICITE--His stone is near Kainess, Switzerland. In her past life, Mercury was in love with Zoicite. JADEITE--His stone is near Yaga, Tibet. In her past life, Mars was in love with Jadeite. NEPHRITE--His stone is near Medias, Canada. In her past life, Jupiter was in love with Nephrite. KUNZITE--His stone is near Rias, Turkey. In her past life, Venus was in love with Kunzite. ---OPPOSITIO SENSHI--- This is the new enemy that is specific to Sailor Moon: Another Story. They don't appear in any series of the anime or manga. APSU--An evil alien who arrives on Earth from a comet. She wishes to change the destiny of the planet in order for her to destroy her only weakness, the Ginzuishou. She employs a group that questions the Ginzuishou power in order for her to carry out her deed without getting too close to the Ginzuishou. She appears to be beaten by the Sailor Senshi the first time, but she merges with Sin and becomes very powerful. She almost defeats Sailor Moon, but is defeated by the Ginzuishou once and for all. ANSHAR--Little brother of Sin and very important to Apsu because of his ability to travel through time. However, he is in love with Lady Serenity (Chibi-usa), which causes him to fail on some of his missions, and he is accused of treason by Apsu when he doesn't wish to fight Chibi-usa. He is killed by the senshi (much to Chibi-usa's dismay, who also loves him), but is revived once destiny returns to normal. OPPOSITE SIN--She has much hatred to the Sailor Senshi, who failed to save her parents during an attack by the Black Moon. Thinking that her parents were killed because the Senshi were too busy guarding the Ginzuishou, she wants it destroyed, making her a great ally for Apsu. She is also a counterpart of Sailor Moon. She refuses to leave Apsu after the Oppositio Senshi are beaten a second time (because she cares about Anshar), and fuses with Apsu to help her survive. She is finally restored after Apsu is defeated. OPPOSITE NABU--She questions the Ginzuishou's power, as it will not last forever. Communicating telepathically, she accepts Apsu's call for help to defeat the Sailor Senshi and the Ginzuishou. She tries despartely to defeat her counterpart, Sailor Mercury, for the Zoicite stone, but fails in the end. She is freed from Apsu's control after the Oppositio Senshi are beaten a second time. OPPOSITE NERGAL--She joins Apsu, not mainly for the Ginzuishou, but because of her quest to become more powerful. Because of this, she is a dangerous ally of Apsu. She challenges Sailor Mars, her counterpart, to a fight for the Jadeite stone, but loses. She is also tricky at the Time Gate, almost decieving the Sailor Senshi as Sailor Pluto, but she messes up when talking to Chibi-usa. She is freed from Apsu's control after the Oppositio Senshi are beaten a second time OPPOSITE MARDUK--Believing that the Ginzuishou is the cause of all the battles in the past, Marduk seeks to destroy it as a partner of the Oppositio Senshi. She challenges her counterpart, Sailor Jupiter, to a battle for the Nephrite stone, but loses. She is freed from Apsu's control after the Oppositio Senshi are beaten a second time. OPPOSITE ISHTAR--She is a friend of Nabu, and only because of that Apsu finds her fitting to bring. She's not really the smartest at all, but she considers herself the best of the Oppositio Senshi and Apsu's favorite (even though she's not). She challenges her counterpart, Sailor Venus, for the Kunzite stone, and loses horribly. She is freed from Apsu's control after the Oppositio Senshi are beaten a second time. ---ANIMALS--- LUNA--Talking black cat of Sailor Moon. She follows Sailor Moon around and gives her advice while she is fighting the Death Busters and the Dark Kingdom again. She appears later on to help all the Sailor Senshi. ARTEMIS--Talking white cat of Sailor Venus. He follows Sailor Venus around and gives her advice while she is looking for the Kunzite stone. He appears later on to help all the Sailor Senshi. PHOBOS--One of Sailor Mars's crows. Supposedly killed by Nergal, but it comes back later. DEIMOS--One of Sailor Mars's crows. Supposedly killed by Nergal, but it comes back later. KISHAL--Anshar's weird-looking pet. Though it looks cute, this monster is really made for evil. It helps in Shingo's kidnapping, and drains and attacks the Sailor Senshi, but it is defeated. ---OTHER FRIENDS--- NARU--One of Usagi's friends. She is once again attacked by a monster, but is saved by Sailor Moon. HANS--A villager of Kainess who befriends Sailor Mercury. She helps save his mom's life, but has to leave in search of the Zoicite stone. HANS'S MOM--She has a fatal disease and is very sick. Only Dr. Schwartz himself could help her at this point. DR. SCHWARTZ--Eccentric doctor who lives in the caves north of Andeng. He is a professional doctor, able to treat many illnesses, but he's somewhat weird and likes cute little girls. Sailor Mercury is able to get the eccentric doctor to come with her and help Hans's mother. FAREGG--A villager of Yaga who befriends Sailor Mars. He bears an unusual resemblence to Jadeite and saves Sailor Mars from a band of youma. Later he is kidnapped by Nergal, and later Mars finds out that the people of Yaga and Faregg are really ghosts. YAGA ELDER--Elder of Yaga village. She points Sailor Mars to the daisoujou and explains later that Yaga really didn't exist. DAISOUJOU--The high priest in Lasa, and he is very wise. He was trapped by an evil jewel called the Gemetus Ruby, but was latter freed by Sailor Mars and Faregg. He tells Mars where she can find the Jadeite stone and gives her a special token, but also tells her that Yaga doesn't exist, which confuses her. GEORGE--A villager of Medias who befriends Sailor Jupiter. He is the son of the village chief of Medias and in love with Mary, the daughter of the village chief of Mishii. This causes problems because of the hatred of the 2 villages towards each other. He later accompanies Jupiter to get the Nephrite stone, which will supposedly allow their marriage. MARY--A villager of Mishii who Jupiter meets up with. She tries to help them out by bringing them back together, and finds out that she needs the Nephrite stone and finds that is within the Protection Tree. MEDIAS ELDER--Old man of Medias. He is in argument with the Mishii elder because of a dispute over a sister and the Nephrite stone. MISHII ELDER--Old man of Mishii. He is in argument with the Medias elder because of a dispute over a sister and the Nephrite stone. DARCY--A villiager of Rias who befriends Sailor Venus. He, like the other villagers of Rias, admire her beauty, but he appears to be the nicest out of all of them. Whenever the town is revived from stone, he tells Venus the location of the arc, where Venus meets up with Ishtar. VERNA--An elder of Sariel, a mirror village of Rias. She tells Venus where to find Radina, in hopes of helping unstone Rias. RADINA--In the present, Venus confronts her as a ghost, but releases her. She tells Venus how to unstone Rias. In the past, she was a powerful Sage and a follower of Sage Beryl, and tells the senshi that they should ask Sage Beryl if they have a question. MOMO--This is a friend of Chibi-usa. She sneaks in the Infinity Academy along with Chibi-usa to try and get the Barazuishou. SAGE BERYL--This is Queen Beryl in the past, before she became a queen of the Dark Kingdom. She was in love with Prince Endymion, and was jealous of the princess and the Moon Kingdom, which led her to join the Dark Kingdom. Sailor Moon, disguised as a servant, has a chat with Sage Beryl, and she feels that she is like the moon princess, but doesn't totally recognize her. QUEEN SERENITY--The mother of Princess Serenity and past queen of the Moon Kingdom. She ended up sacrificing herself to save everyone and send them to the future. She has a brief reunion with Sailor Moon from the future and her future grand-daughter, and Sailor Moon is saddened by this reunion, knowing they can't change destiny. -------------------- VII. EXPERIMENTS -------------------- --This section has some experiments I have done to figure out some things about the game. I might do more as time goes on. Feel free to use these as long as you give me credit. --If you've done an experiment and want to put it in my FAQ, feel free. I'll be sure to give you credit for it. Make sure you have COMPLETE information on your experiment NEPTUNE's AND URANUS's REGULAR ATTACKS Ok, this experiment is with Neptune at Lv. 1 in Shoot Formation. I attack the enemies (Tesny in this case) about 25 times with each move and record all of the damage numbers. Deep Submerge 2 4 6 8 10 Submarine Reflection 2 5 7 10 12 Ok, so it goes like this... 2->2 0% 4->5 25% 6->7 16.6% 8->10 25% 10->12 20% The increase in damage is 25% for Submarine Reflection. I put 25% in to all of those numbers and it comes out right if you're rounding down. Since the increase in cost is 3->4, which is 33.3%, it is more cost effective to use Deep Submerge! Neat, eh? Next, my experiment will be on Uranus World Shaking 2 4 7 9 12 Space Sword Blaster 2 5 8 10 13 So, it goes like this 2->2 0% 4->5 25% 7->8 14.3% 9->10 11.1% 12->13 8.3% It's difficult for me to find a set increase (I might have gotten my numbers wrong), but I think it might be around 12.5%. The cost difference is the same as above--33.3%, so World Shaking would definitely be more cost-effective (not to mention it can hit more enemies). I have a habit of using Space Sword Blaster against bosses, and I would expect it to be alot more powerful than World Shaking for use against single enemies, but I guess I was wrong (maybe it's because I never really used World Shaking that much). I'll have to test it later on. Well... these experiments have proven the general idea that weaker moves are much more cost-effective. I still tend to use the more powerful moves, especially when I've got alot of energy to use (and it can easily be refilled at the moment w/ Cologne or Toilette)
