Hi Jeremy,
I have no Shrine Keys in my inventory. I can't find a way to manuver through the flames in the room next to the angel that says,"They have left their mark". I have one warp lit (intellegence arch), but I can't find the Boss. There is a grave stone that asks you to input a word. I have the word, but I think it needs to be decoded, and I don't have a clue what it should be. If you could help me with this, I think I might have a chance to move on. Thank you,
Guppy

Guppy: The fact that you have no Shrine Keys, and that the Intelligence path boss (Pied Reaper) is missing, means you must have already used the key. Do you have any of the three weapons I mentioned?

If you can't get through the Agility path, you can at least try the Strength path to get another weapon and key. God's Hand, for Leonardo, is on the Agility path; the Spear of Destiny, for Leah, is on the Intelligence path; and the Seraph Halberd, for Maximus, is on the Strength path. If you can get the spear and halberd for Leah and Maximus (and it seems like you may have one already as you're missing a key), this would increase your chances for victory in the final battle. Remember though, if you haven't used Maximus, he'll need to be leveled up.

As for the word that needs to be decoded, "MAITAERGEHT"...

Render it backwards and add spaces where appropriate.

Any strategies on defeating a King Mimic (trap in Central Behgar)? I've tried all sorts of combinations and nothing comes close.

This is an optional battle, so it's meant to be more difficult. You could try coming back with better weapons/armor from later in the game.

Or, you could use Jessica's Empowering Force and Maximus' Charge for devastating attacks, and/or Ryota's Smoke Bomb to lower the enemy's accuracy.

Strategies for beating Troy in Central Behgar?

You'll want to take out the four Lovebugs first, so they can't heal him. Troy himself uses a lot of Light-based attacks, so if you're using Ezra, his Light Wall may help.

The Empowering Force/Charge strategy works in pretty much any battle. Buff up and destroy.

I can not beat the guardian of the rosetta stone. My party keeps getting inhaled or double attacked. Please help.

I too am in the Lake of Fire graveyard and have killed all ghouls but the tomb remains empty and 2 ghouls keep reappearing. Hints?

You're fighting a Glutton; the Rosetta Keystone is guarded by the Ancient. You don't have to fight the Gluttons.

Take the northwest exit from the graveyard. There's no more you can do there.

Hey briony, isn't that pica a peach? I have her leveled up to about 76 now, and I just love the little darling. I use her in every boss battle. She comes in quite handy with all of her skills. Give her lots of Intelligence, and she'll do really well in battles. Hobo Lili for head and Moon Rune build up her stats nicely.

Yes she certainly is handy - I never used her in my first play-through as I did not realize she only gets her skills from battles and now I seem to be able to use her all the time - I use the fur hat instead of the Hobo Lily and I have her leveled to about 80 now

I'm in Central Behgar past the Lake of Fire, Barrier Checkpoint, graveyard. I'm in a building where you go through square-spiraling paths through various doors until you get to one door. The door is locked. I can't imagine where the key would be--I've been fighting for days...

That's one of the doors you need a Skeleton Key for (the key you get by defeating the random King Zombie encounters). But you don't have to unlock the door. Head to the very top of the tower instead.

Gaby/Briony: Glad to see you two are enjoying Pica. I didn't think many people would bother to use her, but I'm very happy that you feel it's worth it!
