Saint Centour & the Demons Trap

Item Location(s): Saint Centour |
Saint Centour |
|
Upon entering Saint Centour & running north to the gates you will be rebounded back.
A man will emerge saying the dimensional protection seal keeps monsters out & because of complexity it rejects Spirits as well as monsters which is why Hanpan triggered the seal. Jack then holds Hanpan deep in his pocket to gain entry into Saint Centour. Before doing any story progression run around picking up all the items here as many of them are quite useful. Do consider though that any chest or doorway you can not access will be accessible by the end of this chapter. Recommended spell for this point in the game is Awaken, Freeze & Break. From just inside the gate head west going south as soon as the path opens up. Continue on entering the house just to the left, speaking the man beside the green book. He informs you 30% of their population was abducted then found near Cage Tower. The man then offers you the key to investigate the Cage Tower, select yes to progress. Before leaving town restock Rudys Arms & know that upon completion of Cage Tower you will not be able buy anything or bind spells, so do them now. |
Saint Centour to Cage Tower
Cage Tower is located north east of Saint Centour surrounded by cracked ground.

Once there walk up to the door & use the Key Plate to open the door and enter.
There is a monster in here who will put your party to sleep called Decorabia, make sure to focus your attacks on him as if you are put to Sleep you have no choice but to hope you reach condition green before your death. Also, most of the enemies here have a weakness to water so exploit that with Freeze. Take the left staircase up. Step on the button to drop the purple barrier to the right. Go back downstairs. Take the right staircase. Follow the path south to its end skipping the staircase. Grab the Crest Graph at the end, return & enter the staircase. Follow the path to its end & step on the button to drop the purple barrier to the right. Return to the staircase & go back up. Go east & follow the path north until you reach the staircase east of the purple barrier. Follow the path going upstairs at the end. Go up the stairs to the left. Continue counter clockwise and cross the teal bridges, without stopping otherwise you will fall. Continue on and climb the staircase at the end. In this room walk across the teal bridges stopping on the middle platform & leaving at least one square block to continue on wards. Switch Rudy & speak to the grey chest to obtain his next ARMs Prism Ray. I have never found a good use for Prism Ray as the only time I use it is when I enter into encounters with extremely weak enemies & I want to quickly finish them off without wasting any of my good ARMs. This is an ARM I do not recommend upgrading. If you do choose to upgrade it & leave, Cage Tower will reset causing you to drop the purple barriers again. Open the 2 chests below for a Round Shield & Bullet Clip. Equip Round Shield on Rudy before you continue on. Cross the bridge again to reach the western doorway & enter it. The path here is slightly complex as compared to the other paths you have taken. Go & cross the bridge turning left. Walk south & step on the button to drop the purple barrier to the right. Cross the bridge turning south. Walk east & step on the button to drop the purple barrier to the north. Cross the bridge turning north & ascend the staircase at the end. Ascend 2 more staircases. There is a save point in the middle of this room so save you need to. I recommend saving if your not level 12, although the boss is not overly strong it does not hurt to be safe. Continue on wards ascending the staircase at the end. Continue south & down the stairs. You should see 3 staircases which require you to climb them in a certain order to progress. The order is right, left, right. Run north and ascend the staircase. Run on south down the stairs grabbing the 3 Goat Dolls in the chests. Goat Dolls are incredibly useful to the party as they act as sacrifices if you are killed in battle preventing your death but causing the Goat Doll to break. Should only be used in battles with extremely powerful bosses that can not be beaten without them. I will specify far later on which bosses you should use these on because as of this moment you are very far from ever reaching them. Ascend the staircase just above you. Ascend the next 3 staircases. Run south to exit the Tower Interior. Restore your HP/MP, resupply your ARMs at this point. Climb the ladders until you reach the towers peak. Step onto the octagon to initiate the Demons Trap. Alhazad the next Quarter Knight will make his appearance & send Night Gaunt to fight you while he smashes the Statue & experiments on Saint Centour. |
Boss Fight: Night Gaunt
|
HP: 7000
EXP: 2490 Gella: 3500 Recommended Level: 11-13 Night Gaunt is by no means as hard as Orga Widow so this shouldn't be much of a problem for you. Its regular attacks cause <200HP of damage & its group attack skill Mysterious Ray only hits for <150HP. One attack you must be careful with is Death Wind, not for its weak <45HP damage but because it has a chance to Instant Kill one or all of you party members. It has a weakness to earth-based magic so exploit this. The quickest way to finish off this fight is as follows. Have Rudy continuously use Hand Cannon & Arm Lock On when available. Have Jack focus on Meteor Dive. Have Cecilia cast Arm. Down x2, Slow Down x1, Break & Summon Guardian. A couple notes about Cecilia. Make sure Mystic Word is equipped. Keep Water Rune on if using Break. Equip Earth Rune before you use Summon Guardian. Gurdijeff will hit for >1000HP depending if you have the Mystic Word equipped. |

Saint Centour
Before you do anything save & go into the Inn to restore your HP/MP for free.
You will notice that no one is around anymore & instead the city is populated with monsters.
Run to the statue to find it has been destroyed, but the Guardian Ione Paua gives you his remaining power in the form of the Saints Rune.
The Saint Rune is perfect for Jack as it increases his STR & ATP.
Before leaving make sure you acquire the Duplicator in the home at the north west corner.
Leave Saint Centour & witness Mother regain her senses.

Elw Pyramid to Port Timney
The Elw Pyramid is just south of the Cage Tower.
Before entering the pyramid notice the caravan just to the north. You can restock some of your items here.
Also, there are other caravans scattered around Filgaia which sells more advanced items, weapons & armors, so if you see one check it out.
Once inside progress north until you reach the teleporter
Use it to reach the next Elw Pyramid near Port Timney.
Make a mental note of the gold pillars which are the same pillars you found in Lolithias Tomb, soon you will retrieve Jacks 3rd tool which will put these pillars to use.
Stoldark will inform you that the Lightning Statue is here.
Run south until you reach the exit.
Make mental notes of the pillars in the entrance room too.
Run around the peninsula to the west going north until you see Port Timney with the beach to its right.
