You will automatically come to academy when you first enter this town. Now get out from academy and head to dormitory (big building on east side of the town). Go up to 2f and walk to the end of corridor, you should see an event about Fred (I trigger the event when it is morning; don’t know if you can see this in the night too). Follow them to the outside.
You can’t go inside academy because it is locked, rest at your dormitory and wait until evening. Talk with everyone in Dormitory to know what happened to Fred. Go to Academy now.

(-) Go to 2F and then enter small room on the right side. Check bookshelf to obtain “Almighty accessories”.
(-) Back to 1f and enter big room on the east (theater class), take gold rosary and then get out using south door in this room.
You should see Fred and his gang nearby, talk with him and agree to become member of his gang. He will tell about statue in 3f academy, so go there and examine the statue and touch the stone. Event; follow the ghost to hidden stairs on gravestone.

Hey guys, i really need your help. i am at this stage and i got creamed by dreadmaster but i have the valrikee sword (batsureg) and i want to turn it into a fire blade. I need a lava lump and i have found the place on newid isle but they wont respawn so do you know of any other places? please help because i desparetly want to do this game for a second time.
Do you have to defeat the head master before you can learn the tricks from students and teachers cause i cant find any one who teaches you things to do with weapons and i know not to cheat the boomerang test lol or i wont get stronger
yea i have to defeat him
Hi, I’m trying to beat dreadmaster and I have, level 17 minstrel, 16 martial artist, 17 priest and 17 warrior, do I need to change my vocation or shall I just train the team up, if so where and what weapons shall I use, lotta questions soz xD
change your minstrel, at this point you may not face any trouble but later minstrel is bad (IMHO).
Hmm okay, any idea what other class??
I use mage which will become sage in future but it’s all up to you since you already have one priest in your party
Tbh ima just change minstrel to warrior get paladin and then use knight watch
I am up to Barbarus the dragon and i am ministrel lv.48 dragon armor set with miracle sword sword skill 100 and litheness 25 then gladiator lv.35 who used to be thief 100 knife from when he was the thief 90 axe skill now warrior lv.43 100 sword skilland 18 courage also i have another warrior who was 18 martial artist but is now level 40 warrior with 100 spear skill and 5 shield skill gladiator has headman’s axe from the secret shop wich i heard of from your guide warrior 1 has dragonsbane warrior 2 has lightning lance should i change vocation for myself because i keep getting killed now
I have all fyggs except this one. I was wondering the best place to train my team is, also how to train them:
Lv 40 Ministrel-Sword: Inferno Blade
Lv 20 Mage-Wand: Tsunami Staff
Lv 20 Ranger-Boomerang: Razor-Wing Boomerang
Lv 25 Warrior-Spear: Lightning Lance
They all have the latest armour bought from Batsureg. Except the shields.
Ministrel- Enchanted Shield
Mage- Ice shield
Warrior- White knight’s shield
what level should i be to defeat the boss at batseurg my team is:
Minerstrel: lvl 26
Warrior: lvl 27
mage: lvl 22
thief: lvl 26
You might be able to do it. But I recommend, you should get a priest, up to lvl 25 and cast Support spells and heal your teammates.
I did it with level 16s. It will gang up on your Mage or Priest.
I think you should use warrior
Think you should definitely change warrior to gladiator (more powerful) it’s easy to get just freeze slimed outside of angel falls and do the quest.
i need help on gleeba u told me to go to the well but when i do nothing happens and i keep going back and still nothing is happens help
Ok. Here goes. Go inside the Mirage Mihal and go to the 1st floor (2nd USA) and speak to the man in front of you. He will ask you an errand. Go to the ground floor. Go west and speak to the woman. She needs help finding Voloptua’s pet, Drak. Set a party trick to ‘clap’. Go outside. Go to the northwest of the Mirage Mihal garden and Drak will appear with a fygg. Capture him and go to the errand man again. He will allow you to have an audience with Voloptua. She will say that she’ll cut up the fygg and bathe with it (X_o). You must stop her. How? Go to the ground floor and speak to everybody. A woman will say that there is a man upstairs who is good in the nefarious arts. Go to the very top of the Mirage Mihal. Exit via the door, and go around and enter. Open the chest to receive a magic key. Exit again. Go north. There will be a fisherman. Speak to him and he’ll tell you a way to get into Voluptua’s baths. Jump into the waterworks. Voloptua will be angry until Drak eats a fygg and turns into a dragon and kidnaps Voloptua. Follow him, and enjoy!
you need to talk to the person fishing by the well in gleeba
I’ve defeated Larstastnaras and Drak no problem, but I can’t seem to defeat the headmaster!
My party:
Level 30 Minstrel
Level 29 Priest
Level 29 Thief
Level 28 Mage
What am I doing wrong?
could you explain me how did he kill you?? because From my experience, the headmaster is easy. and my level was about 32. Always cast support skill in battle.
well i had a lv 25 paladin me
lv 26 warrior
lv 25 priest
lv 25 mage my paladin used knight watch protected attack priest used healind AND WARRIOR/ MAGE ATTACKED
Hi all! I’ve done this area but I can’t find the teachers for three of my four party member’s weapons…wand, stave and sword. I thought I takes to all the teachers (and I fount like 3 hammer teachers and 2 fan teachers so I was like WTF?) but I could be mistaken.
Also, this is going back a little, but I haven’t been able to do the tower that you have to bow at to enter ’cause the trick won’t show up in my menu…I’ve talked to the bowing dude a lot and it still won’t show up, and that’s the last fyigg for me to get! Very frustrating.
Thanks guys!
mordsithdee
He should teach you hot to bow dude. Try bow on different time ( night or day) maybe it solves your problem. About teacher things I really don’t know , sorry
bow is a party trick, you must set it at misc. first and the use b buttonand the key
you set it for to use it
Bowing. Lol. Go to the ‘mayor’ and ask him for the bow emote. (after speaking to the man in green).
What level does your party have to be to be able to beat this boss? I have tried this boss probably t10 times, and I keep getting slaughtered. I completed the Gleeba boss fight on the first try but this one is kicking my butt! My party consists of a Minstrel (main char), a martial artist, a thief and a priest, all between the levels of 26 and 27. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong…
I am about the same level as you are. But my MC is warrior with 100 sword skill so my damage is quite big at that time. I don’t get any trouble when fight this boss. My tips: use buff to your party. Also make sure you have latest equipment!!! This is most important because leveling up 2-3 level won’t make big difference but having latest equipment does.
If you keep dying try to solve another fygg fruit quest while leveling up. But I think Drak is harder than this one. ALso remember to focus your skill point in one category.
Hi I’m a armamentslist but is this a good team I should keep me lv28 arnamentalast Mage lv27 paladin lv 25 and a preist pls tell me who to change and why
I think your party should work fine but i kinda don’t like armamentalist because I don’t like a characters who don’t major in one status (gladiator and warrior major in strength) but armamentalist even have many useful skill don’t major in anything (IMO).
