Arc The Lad:Chongara's Monsters and the 1100+ HP Damage Attack:
Chongara's abilities are unique. He summons enemiesof all genera at his will. Though his monsters may not seem asuseful at first, his two monsters "Raigin" and "Fuugin"can be quite a deadly combination when used accordingly.
Though it takes some time to summon both Raigin and Fuugin, oncethey are out, place them around an enemy, preferably a strongone. But note that they must be in a VERITCAL FORMATION (example:Raigin over an enemy, Fuugin underneath the same enemy), in orderfor the attack to work:
Once they are in a vertical formation, a spell will now be accessible,which can inflict more than 1100 HP damage! Death is inevitable.
Shoji.
Arc The Lad:Chongara's Secret Character:
Chongara also has a secret character that he can summonat only certain times. To access her, you must fight your waythrough all 50 dungeon levels at Alalatos, and eventually fighther. If you do manage to defeat her (good luck -- you'll needit), she will join your party and Chongara will be able to summonher, but only in certain locations.
But then, you have to go UP though ALL the 50 levels again, inorder to get out. If you die, all the hours of work will havegone towards nothing! So be sure to be well prepared before goingdown there.
Shoji.

Have Tosh use Jubakuzen to paralyze Choko. After Chokois paralyzed, she will do a cute little dance throughout the restof the battle.
Barger.

Talk to many of the people when available. If you talkto them annoyingly (over and over), they just might give you somenifty items. For example, the announcer at Needle will eventuallyget sick of you and will give you a book that will make you immuneto all poison statues.
