## Easy leveling up

Here is a simple trick to level up easily, and pass any level. You will need the **Holy Bell** and **Safety Shoes** for maximum ease.

1. When you are in a level that has damage tiles (spiked floor), use the **Safety Shoes** to walk around easily.
2. Use the **Holy Bell** if you find fighting enemies difficult. Don't worry about skipping encounters, you can level up at the end of the level.
3. Just before you reach the boss, you'll always find a **Healing Tile** (blue circle). When you get here, save, and keep walking around, but don't go in the direction of the boss. You'll eventually meet enemies. Use your best spells and skills to defeat the enemy easily. Heal your entire party using the **Healing Tile** after the battle.
4. Repeat Step 3 until your party has gone up a few levels. The higher you go, the easier the "boss battle" and next few levels will be. If you level up a lot at this place, the whole game gets easier.
5. Save. Go and fight the boss. If you die, load the savegame and repeat step 3 go to up more levels. Eventually you will be able to defeat the final boss.

## Boss battles

Boss battles can be very hard. Use these tips to help defeat even the craziest and most difficult bosses.

### Be strong

1. Bosses are always 10 to 20 levels higher than what your party "should be" at. So **level up a lot** to get closer to the boss's level. The higher your level, the longer your party will survive (more HP and better DEF)
2. You can easily level up easily wherever you find a **Healing Tile** (blue circle). Healing Tiles allow you to heal fully and recover all party members. So keep walking near them and have lots of random encounters. Defeat this enemies to level up. Use the healing tile whenever you need to recover HP and MP fully.

### Use powerful attacks

1. **Every boss has a weakness.** Darkness, Light, Flame or Ice. To discover these, buy all types of **Magical Guidebook** (Darkness/Light/Flame/Ice). Then use a certain spell and see the damage. Eg: if **Guidebook of Darkness** gives 200 damage and Guidebook of Light gives 300, then the weakness of the boss is Light. Use Light spells to defeat the boss faster.
2. If Skills/Spells give low damage, then use the **Magical Guidebook** spells to damage the boss using a higher attack.
3. When your party goes Lvl 40, they will be stronger than the Guidebooks, so then you better stick to Skills/Spells.
4. **Use powerful Spells/Skills.** Some good spells are Flame Nova, Freeze Fall, White World, Crash Dive, Summon Devil.
5. **Instant kill.** You can instantly kill some bosses/side enemies using the **Petrification** spell. Enemies cannot recover from being petrified, so they die instantly. You will often "miss" when using this.

### Survive

You cannot defeat the boss if he keeps killing your entire party.

1. **Use powerful healing items** like Healing Danish, Ether Bread, Healing Powder, Enigmatic Powdered Medicine, or Aroma of Goddess to quickly heal your party members, without wasting turns.
2. **Use the Defender skill.** Defender is available to physical fighters, and it reduces physical attack damage by 50% for all party members. This is very useful when you are fighting a boss that keeps killing party members. You only need 1 party member to Defend, and DMG will be reduced by 50% for all party members.
3. **Keep all party members alive.** If one member dies, get him/her back using **Piece of Star**, **Drop of Moon**, etc so he/she can continue fighting.
