La Pucelle Tactics Walkthrough for the PS2

Chapter 2 deals with your party dealing with a string of murders with the victims' heart being ripped out. Here you'll actually learn more about the relationships of the characters you're playing and in a way develop a more personal affection for the game.

By this time, I hope you've managed to get your characters levels up as you'll be losing Cullote at the start of this game. Ordinarily, a level of 10 for your characters will do, but since I'm a grinder by nature, Prier was already level 17 by this time. (excessive I know)

Anyway, start the Foot of Mt Tarte where you'll face of with 6 blooms and 1 bear. With Culotte gone, you're one member short. You can either purify one of the monsters here to your side or in my case, be strong enough to take out enemies with just you and Alouette. Also, pick up the Treasure Chest in this map, you'll never know what you can get. If you're characters aren't strong enough be very careful of the claw attack of the bear as it does deal significant damage to your characters.

Head back out to the World Map, heal yourself before going ahead to the Spring of Mercy. Another cutscene here, this time involving Sister Olive and the appearance of her dead mother. If you're keen you'll actually understand how the killer was able to do away with his victims at this point. Anyway... There's 5 Blooms, a Big bear and a Fairy Fire, along with a treasure chest in this map.

It's important to follow the pattern in areas that this guide will mark for you, meaning DONT go the Mysterious Path before the Spring of Mercy, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get the Good Ending in this chapter.

At the Mysterious Path, you'll be coming face to face (figuratively) with your suspect. Before you go off and run after him, there is the matter of the 6 blooms and 2 bears blocking your path. :P Oh, and reward yourself with another yummy treasure chest!

The next cutscene at the side of Mt Torte will feature Cullote and his falling prey to the suspect. Of course before anything else, Prier will come to the rescue. Also, Croix will finally appear and join your party! That is of course, if you can take out the 7 blooms, 3 big bears and 2 fairy fire to be actually worthy enough to do so.

With Croix finally in your party, be ready to take out the Gargoyle and his posse of 6 blooms, 2 fairy fires and 2 big zombies to be able to rescue Culotte and bring to justice what has occurred. Think like your enemies and deal with the weaklings first if you want to, or go for the kill and finish off the Gargoyle first but whatever option you choose, don't forget to purify some portals for extra Pricas.

After this level, you'll be able to understand the motives of the guy behind all these deaths, and actually learn something valuable about loss, love and what people do when they try or fail to come to terms with it. Sniff, sniff. A game with morals.

Anyhoo!! Voila chapter done and with a good ending to boot! Be proud of yourself and watch the following cutscene before we move to chapter 3.
