i didn't even try.... I'm gonna do that on my next play through, working on my mega ultra LF1 save ... hoping to have the pyramid party at 99.... gonna take at least another week though
so when I get cindy, she will also be level 99 after I'm through with her haha, then I'll equip her with a bunch of evade and ketakeri blade, should do the trick nicely
i gave up trying the arena after i consistently lost for one hour with "Aaron Black"... you can't equip him with anything useful enough to give him a win LOL
