La Pucelle Tactics Walkthrough for the PS2: A Legend is Born

After that little twist in the story, say bye bye to Croix for the moment and yes subsequently Prier and Alouette as well. Now didn't I say having your other characters leveled up will be important? This is why!

Now you have to deal with the monsters that have appeared at Mayonnaise Harbor. Equip the items Prier, Alouette and Croix left behind on your 3 other characters and yes this time, draw out other monsters to the fight as well. If you want to, you can actually go back and train to boost your levels. However, if you've already been doing that bit by bit in the previous levels it won't be difficult to accomplish anymore.

Once you get there, Hermes will proposition Culotte and Eclair. Its a great chance for the them to level up. Also, there's a little matter of the Cave of Trials opening up. You can go there and train if you want to, as the monsters are really strong and well, you kinda need all the buffs you can get even with a pretty stable level already. Try levelling up your decoys at the Hell's Stomach or head on here and confront the areas as a group. Either way, look for the most optimal levelling strategy for you.

If you're still interested in the cave of trials. Here's the particulars for it. The first part will have 11 monsters, with the lowest level being 27 and the highest possible at 35. This would be a good way for you to train and beef up the skills you have.

Area 2 will have 9 enemies, the lowest at 35 and the strongest at 50. Each time you take these critters out, remember to use abilities as much as you can. Level them up so you can deal stronger damages when you get to Mayonnaise Harbor.

The third cave will be significantly more difficult, 18 enemies each with levels higher than level 70. Again, deal with them by using your skills so you get to gain experiences for your skills as well as level up faster. Now the fourth cave will probably be the last cave you can finish without your 3 other characters. Even then it will be quite a challenge. 13 whooping monsters with levels at 70 -90. Still your 3 supporting characters will probably be able to finish them off, although it might take longer and harder than with your best three.

Didn't I say the last area was impossible without your other characters? Here's why... You'll have 15 enemies, with the weakest at 110 and the strongest at level 500. If you want to, which is actually what I did - have your characters focus on killing one monster (the zombie) at a time, with a decoy ready to flee once the going gets tough. Just keep healing and then going back there. it will be a fast level up process but kinda tedious what with going back to the world map and all.

Anyway, back to the story at hand. At Hermes' Room, Eclair and Culotte will have a chance to get stronger. There's 5 zombies and the dark Eclair to content with here. Only Eclair and Culotte will be available to you, but that's hardly a problem if you've significantly leveled up as I've suggested. Level 34 should be nothing but a thorn on your side.

Finally, the real match! Eclair will definitely be stronger and Culotte will be adorable with a rocket kitty as his friend. *snickers*

At the Mayonnaise Harbor, with your characters pretty much solidly leveled, there's really no trouble as you face off with 3 sirens, 2 succubi and a Demon Lord. Also, take this opportunity to test out the skills your characters have learned. A good skill to take use of is Homard's burning soul which does 10x damage to his enemy.
