Elements: Soul of Fire

[feyone2]

Hi,I've beaten the Emporer's monster & now need to go to Mt Marine but the sharks in the desert are very strong and kill the team very rapidly. Is there an ideal team to over come them?

[acashpat]

@feyone2: I would recommend you to have the party of Leonardo, Esther, Jessica, and Ryota. Leonardo should be about level 30-32, Esther should be about level 27-29, Jessica should be about 28-30, and Ryota should be about 23-25. Make sure you have the best equipment you can buy (weapons from beating the golden enemies and turning them in to Big Ben usually do more damage than the ones you buy from the store). If you have any other questions, let me know.

Hi,
I found the rope . But, I don't have the rune of Fire. Could you help me locate it. I think I have all the others in my inventory if the exclamation mark next to the rune means I activated it. Thank you for all your help so far!

Acashpat, I just read what you wrote about turning in the weapons to Big Ben. What???? I have the golden armor, etc. but I still have them. What am I missing? Thanks

[acashpat]

@Guppy: You should have the Rune of Fire as that it is one of the first runes you get in the game and one of the first you illuminated. You will know if the rune is illuminated because the exclamation point by the rune will be white instead of grey. If you want to, you can send me your save file so I can have a look in your inventory like I did for another member.

@Woofgang: When you beat Big Ben and talk to him afterwards, he will tell you that he is missing gold statues of the different types of enemies in the game and wants you to retrieve them. To get the statues, you have to beat gold color enemies that are hidden throughout the game. These enemies are usually tougher version of the type of enemies they represent. When you beat them you will get the gold statue. For example, if you beat golden avian enemy, you will get the Golden Statue avian item. When you return the item to Big Ben, you will get a weapon that is strong against the statue you turned in. Let me know if you need any further clarification.

I am amazed at your recall, Acashpat! I have been doing that, I just forgot he was called Big Ben! I had my mind on the golden armor that I got in the temple, cause I did not find them helpful. I love the game, just too much for my feeble little mind to remember! LOL! I am absolutely amazed at your memory! Thank you!

Hi, First, I can't find my save file. I looked under appdata, but I don't know what folder it is under , and I don't have your e-mail address to send it to you if I find it.
Guppy

PS I'm done for the day. I'll check tomorrow. Thanks again for your help.

@Guppy: Here are the instructions I wrote earlier to find your save files:
If you are not running a Windows 7 operating system, finding your save files is difficult on other Windows system as the save files are found under a hidden folder called "Appdata". Make sure to follow the instructions to a tee to not mess up your computer

1) Go to your Control Panel and click on Appearances and Themes. In this menu, click on the Folder Options and then the View tab. Here click on "Show hidden folders and files"
2) Go to C:/Documents and Settings/<your user name>
3) Here click on the Appdata folder. Next click the Local folder then the Virtual Store folder.
4) Here click on Program Files (or Program Files (x86))
5) Find your Elements folder. Copy the save files.
6) Go back to the Appearances and Themes menu in the Control Panel. Go back to the Folder Options and unclick the "Show hidden folders and files"

Once you find your save file, e-mail it to me at acashpat@live.com.

Hi, I need help again. I went to Mt Marine and had a battle with the Emperor and ended up in the prison on Glymac.
Maximuss has broken the team out of gaol/jail but they don't seem strong enough to get through all the trials. They just got beaten by Rysh's War Machine. Does anyone have suggestions on how to proceed?
Have I missed something on the way up Mt Marine as I got straight to the Emperor?

Thank you so much acashpat.

I think this is a terrific game but there are a lot of us who would be unable to play it without your help.

The developer owes you a huge debt of gratitude.

By the way. Does anyone know why Aldorlea took the game off the site so quickly? It is one of the best value games and I would have hated to have missed it.

Im still waiting for BMT Micro to send my unlock details for the full version.In an email they said please allow 48 hours for processing.That was about 16 hours ago.Why the wait i wonder

[acashpat]

@feyone2: The battle with the war machine is very hard. It took me a couple of tries to figure out how to beat it. It has been a while so I don't remember the exact party members I used but here are some suggestions:
Before the fight:
1) Stock up on Pepp Peps and other healing items (for the Pepp Peps get the maximum of 8--you will need it)
2) For your party, you will use Leonardo, Jessica, Ryota, Maximus
3) Go back to the jail and level if you need to. For Leonardo he was about 33-35, Jessica was about level 30, Ryota was 25-27, and Maximus was 26

Strategy for the fight:
The moves you will be using most often are Ryota's Calthrops/Shuriken/Smoke Bomb skills and Maximus's Charge skill. At the start of the fight, have Jessica cast Empower on Leonardo, Maximus cast Charge, and Ryota use Calthrops (if it fails don't use it again). Next round, have Jessica cast Empower on Maximus, Maximus attack, and Ryota use Smoke Bomb. For the remainder of the fight, have Leonardo attack, Jessica use Psi Dart or recasting Empower on Maximus/Leonardo, Maximus casting charge before attacking, and Ryota using Smoke Bomb or Shuriken (if it does more damage then physical attacking). You will need to use Pepp Peps to restore Maximus and Ryota's EF so use them when needed.

Let me know if this helps.

@pretzl: I am glad that I have been able to help you guys/girls through your questions as I am enjoying this game very much and want as many people to enjoy this game so the developer can create a similar game in the future. But are you sure that the game has been taken off the site? I found the game by clicking on "All Games" at the homepage and found the game strolling down a little. If the game has been taken off here, you still can get the game at the developer's website which is http://jeremyz89.wix.com/soul-of-fire.

@acashpat.

My mistake -- not taken off the site but not showing on the home page any more. You would have to know about it

also

need more help please. I can't beat Yas and his helpers to get the dungeon key in the palace.
I have tried several parties but they don't seem to respond to any magic and very little attack.

I must have the wrong levels or party. Any advice please.

Ok -- done it. thank you.

[acashpat]

@pretzl: Here is my recommendation for the fight
Party: Leonardo, Esther, Jessica, Ryota
Party Level: Leonardo (29-30), Esther (26-27), Jessica (27-28), Ryota (22-23)
Strategy: You will be using Ryota's Calthrops for the entire fight as it takes 1/10 of the enemies HP. Have Esther cast Dull Blades to reduce the attack power of Yas and his minions, have Jessica cast Empower on Leonardo and then use Psi Dart for the reminder of the fight, and have Leonardo attack the whole time (if you want you can cast Pep Talk at the beginning of the fight for a small boost in your stats). Use Pepp Peps on Ryota as he will go through his EF pool quickly. Make sure to get rid of the minions first before focusing on Yas.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
