Tips
- Use field abilities often: Experiment with your party members on the overworld. Karn can unlock special doors and find traps, while Bo can hunt animals for healing items and walk through forests.
- Save your dragon forms: Ryu’s dragon transformations cost a significant amount of AP (Action Points). Save them for boss fights where their massive damage output is most needed.
- Prepare for difficulty spikes: The encounter rate is high, and bosses can be challenging. Taking time to gain a few extra levels and upgrade your equipment at new towns is heavily recommended.
