                                                         I Goblin Kings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The Gob Kings can't hurt you; they can only use spells/charms)

1. Stehoney the Golden Gob 
(Technically he isn't a Gob King, but an apprentice)

Items:
1 speed charm

Strategy: 
Use the speed charm and go next to him, use an Attack Skill on him.
Repeat this until he dies.


2. Jonue the Gobbler

Items:
1 speed charm

Strategy:
Do the same thing as you did on Stehoney.
(He's exactly like Stehoney except a little faster)


3. Zyan the Eavesdropping 

Items:
1 speed charm

Strategy:
Guess what! It's the same thing...but faster!


4. Albert the Early Bird

Items:
1 Speed Charm
1-3 The Moons

Strategy:
This guy's too fast! He's an annoying little bugger. But tell me, what time did he 
say he woke up? I think you catch my drift. Use a The Moon scroll to put this 
pain to sleep. Then go to town with Attacks and Attack Skills. If he wakes up, 
use another one.
Keep attacking him 'till he dies.


5.  Martina 
(Technically she is a Gob Queen) 

Note:
(This guy was so hard; I beat the whole game before I beat her)
This is the most annoying guy in the whole game!!!
Hey its the last Gob King in the volume...What'd you expect.

Items:
1 speed charm
2-5 mages souls

IMPORTANT: Don't let her get away! She will cast a healing spell that ups her 
health by 17 hp per 2-3 seconds!

Strategy:
She doesn't have a weakness like she wants you to think when she acts 
scared.
Trust me. Her fear has no link to how to kill her.
Use a speed charm just to get close enough to use an attack skill.
Use your strongest and most expensive attack several times.
As you may or may not know, skills prevent the target from escaping, so keep 
attacking with the strongest attack you have. When you run out of SP, use a 
Mages Soul, that's what they're for. Repeat until you kill her. 

And there's a special surprise for you when you kill her.
Goblin Pin allows you to summon a giant goblin to attack enemies, when you 
where all of the goblin armor.

                                                           II Bosses                                                                         

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. Headhunter: 

Recommended level: 4+

Recommended Party: Blackrose
Items: 
3-5 resurrects
3-5 health drinks 
1-3 mages souls

Strategy:
This guy's easy. But you should stay away from the fight and use scrolls and 
magic skills. 
Because Blackrose dies REALLY fast (when she does, use a resurrect). 
First use all of your attack scrolls (charms don't work on databugs). If you run 
out of scrolls, start using magic skills. If you run out of SP, use a mages soul 
and keep attacking.
 After a while of repeating this  there should be a green sphere broken around 
Headhunter that says "protect break"  , go to skills and choose datadrain.
CONGRADULATIONS! the fight is pretty much over!
A few more attacks and he'll either be dead or ready for another Data Drain.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  Rock Head

Recommended level: 7+ 

Recommended Party: Blackrose and Mistral

Items:
3-5 resurrects 
As many wood element Attack scrolls as you can find

Strategy:
In my opinion this guy is easier than the first one. But Mistral and Blackrose 
may die, that's what the resurrects are for. You can pretty much do what you 
want with this guy. But the fastest way to kill him is to just keep using wood 
element Attack scrolls for elemental hits. But don't wait too long between 
attacks because he heals himself by 8 hp every second. 
And since he isn't a Databug you don't have to Data Drain him. But you can if 
you want. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Red Wyrm

Recommended level: 9+

Recommended Party: - Have to go alone

Items:
7-10 Health Drinks
1-3 Mages Souls
As many water element Attack scrolls as possible

Strategy:
This guy is a pain! And you have to go alone. Run circles around him from far 
away and keep using Attack scrolls on him. If you run out of Attack scrolls, start 
using Magic skills. If the # of HP you have is written in orange or red, use a 
health drink. Don't use your last Mages soul until you need to Data Drain him if 
you need more SP for Data Drain.
After you Data Drain him just use Magic Skills on him, and Attack scrolls if you 
still have any.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Stone Turtle

Recommended level: 12+

Recommended Party: Mia and Elk

Items: 
5-9 Resurrects
3-5 Health Drinks
2-3 Mages Souls
As many wood element Attack scrolls as possible

Strategy:
Stay away from the fight with Elk and use your Attack scrolls. If Mia needs 
health, hit square and choose First Aid.  Elk will heal her. If either one of them 
die, use a resurrect on them. Keep using your Attack scrolls. If you run out, use 
Magic Skills. If you run out of SP, use a Mages Soul. Don't use your last Mages 
soul until you can Data Drain, But only use it if you need SP for Data Drain. 
When he gets to "Protect Break", Data Drain him.
Repeat this after he is Data Drained until he is dead, or has "Protect Break".

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Killer Snaker

Recommended level: 16+

Recommended Party: Elk

Items:
7-10 Resurrects
5- 9 Health Drinks
1-3 Mages Souls
As many Wood element Attack scrolls as possible

Strategy:
Hit square and choose operation recover.  You don't want Elk to die this early. If 
he does, use a resurrect. Then hit square and choose Magic. If you get 
damage to orange or red, use a health drink on yourself. Stay away from the 
fight and use the Attack scrolls. If you run out, use Magic Skills. If you run out of 
SP, use a Mages Soul.
Save your last one for when you Data Drain. But only use it if you need more 
SP for Data Drain. After you Data Drain, use the same strategy to kill him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Thousand Trees

Recommended level: 18+

Recommended Party: Mistral and Blackrose

Items:
8-10 Resurrects
7-10 Health Drink
2-5 Mages souls
As many Earth Attack scrolls as possible


Strategy:
Let Blackrose run up and attack thousand trees. Occasionally hitting square, 
choosing Blackrose and designating a skill for her to use. She does a lot more 
damage that way.
Stay away from the fight with Mistral and use attack scrolls. Hit square and 
choose First Aid for Mistral to heal Blackrose whenever she is damaged. If 
either of them die use a resurrect. If you get damage to orange or red, use a 
health drink on yourself. Stay away from the fight and use the Attack scrolls. If 
you run out, use Magic Skills. If you run out of SP, use a Mages Soul.
Save your last one for when you Data Drain. But only use it if you need more 
SP for Data Drain. After you Data Drain, use the same strategy to kill him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strategy:

Just keep using Attack scrolls on him. If you run out of scrolls use Magic skills 
on him. If you run out of SP, us a Mages Soul When you get damaged AT ALL 
use a health drink. Whenever one of your party members die, use resurrect. 
Keep using this strategy until you can Data Drain him. 


8. Data Drained SKEITH (Same battle as SKEITH)
     Yes, that is Skeith. He may be a pile of rocks, but you're not out of the 
woods.
      He is still strong. Keep using this strategy then... 
     BAM!!! DATA DRAIN THAT SUCKA!!!!!!!!!

on him. If you run out of SP, us a Mages Soul. When you get damaged AT ALL 
use a health drink. Whenever one of your party members die, use resurrect. 
Since he isn't a Databug, you don't have to data drain him. The choice is yours. 

If you do Data Drain, you get 1 exp. And the 2nd best weapon in the game.
(The best is Bomb-Ba-Ye , which you get by Data Draining Mu Guardian)
