The Forgotten Tower is slightly NW (up and to the left) of the Yamabuki Sanctuary

Good going!  Yes, there are several combinations of Carmina and classes that work well.  That’s one of the fun things in the game: there isn’t a single solution you must find, but multiple ways to victory.

Attached is a screenshot showing where you need a floatstone to cross over from right to left (and left to right).  You can see the red dot in the minimap which shows where you are: down on the bottom right hand side.  You get there after using your two floatstones up above, and then this 3rd floatstone that you see to cross here.

So you s…[Read more]

I use Cutler, Ishiri, Tina, and Aira.  Aira is usually just a healer.  My trick is to have everybody defend for 3 turns to let Tina build up the ability to use Dragon’s Judgment.  Then just pick off one enemy at a time and avoid “All” type attacks.  Build up Tina again, and that should do it.  Aira, if just doing Defend, will quickly have enou…[Read more]

Slightly north east of Dark Marsh.  You must be using the Ocean Transport.  The Ghost Ship moves around a bit, but if you ride around over the “shadowy” stuff you can see under the water, a little north east of Dark Marsh, the ghost ship will show up.

Number 19 is “Ectoplasm” and the description reads “A lost spirit on the Ghost Ship that continues to wait for its father.”  Main Habitat ???

I don’t know anything about the achievements.

From the help:

“A dungeon with a total of 50 floors where each stage changes every time you enter.  Every 5 floors, a boss appears and the dungeon’s element and enemies change….there is a limit in the number of battles that can be fought on one floor.  Also, the items you get in the Tower of Rao, except for the roguelike-only treasure, c…[Read more]

The Tower of Rao is as awful as you say.  But the game itself isn’t bad, although the slow loading after battles, etc., is a pain.

The vocabulary is much better than most Kemco games, and we even get a somewhat witty villain.  The golden pancho “pinata” and Hyperion allow some fun.  Although there are many, many choices to make, you have to ma…[Read more]

Your experience confirms my thoughts, as I’ve posted.  I didn’t “d”‘ anything, but had long-running auto  “defense” (sometimes for several minutes if the spawned golem is the healer) at a few different locations.  Resistances, etc. went up, and “spin” along the way.

Here is the skill after it is “activated.” (Skater Egg)

I still have a hunch, as I posted before, that I got it when everybody was defending of “auto” and many (many) cycles of action would occur.

You may have it!  At least one character, Valen, has a skill (Upheaval) that causes the enemy to turn around.  I don’t recall fooling with that (I used it exactly 8 times, and never used Mia’s “Over There”), but hey, your help here is by far the best we have, right @3beez?

Thanks Lemmy.

I looked at all 4 of my save files, and in one of them Skater Egg was “new.”  Also “new” at the same time was “Switch Resistance.”  I recall that for “Switch Resistance,” and in fact just about all of the same type (all those next to each other in the skills list–rage resistance, etc.) I got them by setting my tactics to defense and just s…[Read more]

Bonus SP+1 after battle.

You are correct–everybody has this same skill, and I’m sure that everybody got it “activated” at the same time.  I just have no idea what causes the activation.

[ADDED EDIT]  I also did a lot of changing the “leader” and cycling through the party by tapping on the leader, etc.

Well, even though my Valen has the skill, I’m “clueless” how I got it.  However, here is my guess: I only have 2 skills Valen used a lot (ie, 1000 times) before I got “spin” activated: Mana Blow and Phoenix Wing.  My guess is that Mana Blow is “single” and its repeated use got me the Skater Egg passive skill (“spin” clue).  I think I got Ph…[Read more]

There is a hidden passage in the rocks.  The opening is all the way over in the wall at the far right of the cave you are in.  That wall is a little bit to the right of a treasure chest that is closer to the top.

I have all the treasures, but remind me which dungeon and I’ll revisit it to see the path.

If this is the skill right below “Reckless” and to the right of “Destroyer,” I think I recall that yes, you drop him to 1 HP, but then Valen needs to ATK when he is at 1 HP.  Might take more than once.  I think that is what I did (used Venom Drive to get down to 1 HP).
