Introduction

Welcome to my Tales of Destiny Tower of Druaga FAQ. I've decided to writethis FAQ because other Walkthrough/FAQs did not cover as much information onthe tower. Sometimes I would follow exactly what they write and I can neverget the item because of a mistake or two. So I've decided on a boringSaturday to create an accurate FAQ on how to obtain the many items in thetower. And besides who wants to read inaccurate FAQs anyway? And also this

FAQ can be the first one to be exclusively for the tower itself. Well anywaysonto the FAQ!

Information about the tower:

The tower of Druaga, in my opinion, is a 60-floor tower of doom! Why you say?Well it's home to some of the cheapest enemies in the game. The rewards forgoing through it is it's nice and powerful goodies but to obtain them iseasier said than done. Each level is the same but has a different layout.Each floor has a treasure and to obtain it you must solve a puzzle associatedwith each floor that was the same from Namco's original game, Tower ofDruaga. It may be simple or it may be very complex but the goodies are well

worth it. To reach the next floor you must obtain the key of the level and gostraight through the door. Easy, right? It would be if there weren't anyenemies around to make your life miserable.

How/Where to get into the tower:

To get into the tower you must first find three rods: The RC, GC, BC rods.

The RC rod is inside the Swordian Lab. The lab is located northeast ofArmeida. The chest with the rod is near where the tombstone Stahn obtainsanother Ougi is.

The GC rod is in Cloudius. It is located in one the teleporters in theleft side of floor 4. Once you get inside Cloudius you MUST obtain the rodbefore it is too late because later in the game you won't have a chance to goback.

The BC rod is in Walt's house in Harmetz. The BC rod is called 'OldCane' but you need to use a rune bottle or Philia's Identify ability to turnit into the rod.

The tower is located in the area of Janos (that snow town in the


3/17

beginning of the game). Remember that temple where you met Mary with Rutee?That's where the tower is. If you don't, exit Janos through the north way andgo to the right on the fork that you come across to. Keep running until youcome across a save point. Save your game here because the tower isn't goingto be an easy walk in the park. Once you have done that run north into thetemple. Once inside run up until you come across three altars. Place thethree rods on them to open up the entrance. Once open, step inside and meetyour doom!

Preparations:

This is the hardest dungeon in the game so you might want to come in preparedfor what lies ahead of you.

1. Have a FULL supply of every Gel, Life Bottle, P. Bottle, etc...2. I recommend at least level 55 with more or less 6000HP but some peoplehave done it with lower levels.3. Have Stahn equipped with the Phoenix skill.4. Have a non-elemental weapon for Stahn (Bahamut's Tear recommended).5. Have the best equipment you can find including the ones in Dycroft.6. If your bringing Philia along have her equipped with the Mystic Symbol soshe cast her spells quicker.7. Bring Chelsea along because her bow skills come in very handy especially

her Force Arrow.

These things are vital to your survival. These alone have helped me tacklethe tower and will probably help you too ^_^.

Enemy List:

This is a complete enemy list for the tower.Note: You get no Gald or Lens in the battles in the tower.

Green SlimeHP 2908TP 400

These guys are easy to defeat just whack them!

Black SlimeHP 3228TP 500

A higher-level slime but still same old slime.

Blue KnightHP 3400

TP 0

A low level knight. Not tough to beat.

MageHP 2410TP 420

You want to know why you need the Phoenix skill? It's because of scum likehim. These guys cast Cyclone continuously, which can totally mess up yourparty. As soon as battle starts have Stahn thrust into a mage thenIMMEDIATELY do Phoenix. It should kill a few of them and interrupt their

spells giving you enough time to kill the remaining few.

SorcererHP 2728TP 520

Use same tactics as above as these guys like to cast Explode.

Black KnightHP 3728TP 0

Higher level of the Blue Knight. Not very tough to deal with.

Red SlimeHP 3548TP 600

Higher level of Slime but these guys like to cast fire magic usuallyFireball.


11/17

Mage GhostHP 2508TP 500

Back from the dead and ready to get even! Same as a Mage with slightly higherHP and TP. Phoenix still works even though they fly.

DruidHP 3048TP 620

Use same tactics as if fighting a Mage. These guys like to cast Holy Wrath.

Blue SlimeHP 3868TP 700

Higher level of slime. These guys like using ice magic.

Druid GhostHP 2868TP 620

Same as Druid, use my mage tactics to have an easier time to beat them.

WizardHP 3368TP 720

As always use the same Mage tactics on these guys. They like casting AirSlash if I remember correctly.

QuoxHP 4568TP 0

Now your probably thinking...why do I need a non-elemental weapon for Stahn?Well it's because of this guy and a couple of other enemies. He absorbs allelements and can only be beaten by non-elemental weapons. Bahamut's Tear isthe non-elemental weapon of choice for Stahn. If you so happened to run intohim without equipping a non-elemental weapon then during battle quickly equipthe kick attack skill on Stahn and repeatedly use it against him. It'll takeawhile to beat him with it though.

Mirror KnightHP 4568TP 0

A higher-level knight. Only difference is that they have more HP and have ahigher attack power.


12/17

W. GhostHP 3148TP 720

Like always use the Mage tactic on them because they like to show no mercy.

Will O' WispHP 4000TP 500

These guys are nothing but they do cast some nasty spells.

Hyper KnightHP 4368TP 0

Same ole' knight. Like always they just have an increase in attack power andHP.

Green RoperHP 4048

TP 600

These guys are nothing until they get hold of you. Once they have you intheir clutches they pound away on you like there's no tomorrow. If Stahnhappens to be paralyzed quickly recover him and immediately use Phoenix toget out of a sticky situation.

DG SlimeHP 4188TP 800

Same ole' slime. Only difference is a higher attack power and HP.

Silver DragonHP 4888TP 0

I call him the brother of Quox. He has higher HP and is immune to Dymlos.Equip Stahn with Bahamut's Tear if you want to lay waste on him. Again if youencountered him with Dymlos equipped, equip the kick attack technique.

Red RoperHP 4368

TP 700

Just like a green roper but has a higher attack power. Don't get TOO close tothem.

Red KnightHP 5108TP 0


13/17

The highest knight class. They have a much higher attack power and HP valuesthen other knights.

Lizard ManHP 4688TP 0

These guys absorb fire damage so Dymlos is a no-no. If you happen to haveDymlos equipped have Rutee or Philia cast any water type spell.

DY SlimeHP 4608TP 900

The highest slime class. These guys have higher attack and HP values thannormal slimes.

Blue RoperHP 4688TP 800

These guys are badass if you're caught in their clutches. They have a higherattack value than normal ropers. So don't get caught or prepare for thebiggest beating of your life!

False IshtarHP 15,000TP 850

She's not a worthy opponent to fight near the end of the tower. The onlyproblem you'll have with her is if she petrifies you with her charm.

DruagaHP ??,????TP ???

I knew I forgot to get his HP & TP values. D'oh! Anyways, for being the lastboss of the dungeon, he's a pushover. Have Rutee heal whenever possible andwith Philia just pound him with her spells. Mary, Bruiser, Chelsea, Garrshould use their specials on him while Stahn should use assassin or Phoenix.
