Play as Ludo
If you play as Valens in his quest, your friend Ludo is playable on your school.
Play as Valens
When you complete the game as Ursula and begin a new game, Urlan is replaced by Valens.
To make the Valens quest a lot easier, level up Ludo and save all of his job points until you have 40 then get Upward Slash. This move does the most damage of any direct attack, causes extreme bleeding that is capable of doing up to 50 damage a turn (including half turns where someone just passes), and it can also attack at a diagonal-like spear attack. Unfortunately Ludo leaves your party somewhere in the Windward Steppes and you have to fight him later.
Hints
Getting good items
Walk the beach of Imperia in the early morning to find high level equipment and weapons. Stand on the beach and press [A]. If done correctly, you should see a window with a treasure chest on it, and a message telling you that it is searching. There is no limit to how much you can find; you can acquire a lot of items if you have the time.
When you kill somebody out of the dueling ring, a coffin will appear where they died. You can attack it to get all of that person's items. Note: This will not work in a dueling ring.
In The Southern Expanse, go to the coastline and press [A]. You will see a window appear that will look for treasure. This is a great way to get items.
Easy money
To get more Dinars, join the tournament, Break The Bank in The Wandering Soul at The Wastes at Steppes. There are a lot of treasure chests that contain about 1,000 to 2,000 Dinars. Moreover, the entrance fee is free. Join this tournament to get more Dinars.
Caltha: Secret arena
On the right side of Caltha is a secret arena (just before the bridge) that only appears at certain times.
Imperia: Secret arena
There is a secret arena on the beaches of Imperia. To find it, walk around on the beach and press [A] as if treasure hunting.
Southern Expanse: Secret arena
In the Southern Expanse, there is a secret arena with several leagues you can attempt. If you choose Hell Gate you will encounter an endurance fight for Gladiators 18 and above. The first four fights consist of four Summoners of the same realm; first air, earth, fire, then water. The last fight is a Summoner named Sarenenutet (the same summoner you killed in the Saraa Izel quest Mysterious Tablet). Kill him and you will receive some interesting items that you will never find in any store. After completing the fights, go to the far southeastern corner of the desert. You will encounter Usus. He will tell you a small tale, then each warrior you actually used to fight the Hell Gate league will each receive an attack called Hell's Fury. This is an area affect attack that does massive damage, killing nearby enemies instantly. To find this league, try running around at night, pressing [A] (as if searching the beach). Note: You must be standing still while pressing [A] to search.
Sigi the Galdr optional quest
In the first region of Nordagh, speak to Xandl the weapon shop owner in Mordare to hear about the missing witch, Sigi the Galdr. To find her, walk around the area north of Roanor to get a random battle that has Sigi surrounded by six Mongrel Shamen. Defeat the Shamen and return to Mordare. Speak to Xandl once again. Sigi will give you the Signet Of The Valkyrie and Xandl will give you 463 Dinars and two weapons, a Flamberge and a Tschehouta.
Death of a recruit
Recruiting warriors for your school is crucial to winning battles. Be careful though; if a recruit dies in a random battle outside of a town, he or she will be permanently dead. If they die inside a tournament inside a town, they will be revived after the battle is over.
Defeating the Dark God
Defeating the Dark God is tricky, especially when he has three forms. When you are facing the knight attached to the god, use a high level Summoner or undead Summoner with strong summons. You should also use Eiji and her Long Shot moves and Vallens and Ursula. Have Eiji stay back and use Long Shot. Have the Summoners use their strongest summons and have Ursula and Vallens attack the knights. You will eventually win. In the face section of the battle, the faces summon undead cats and wolves. It helps if you have Ursula equip the Deaths Head weapon. Also use combos and you might inflict instant death. Keep attacking the heads with Ursula and you will win. The dragon is very difficult. Use Eiji's Long Shot attack and have a Summoner summon strong summons. Do not attempt to get close or you will suffer an instant death bite attack from the dragon. Use long range fighters (Gungirs, Archers, and Summoners). If you have Eiji at level fifteen and have a strong bow, you will win quickly.
Random battles
Like all RPGs, gaining experience and Dinars (gold) is best achieved by fighting random battles. Tournaments may give better results, but most cost money to enter and in the beginning, you will be spending your cash on weapon/armor upgrades and recruiting warriors. You may have to run around for awhile outside of the towns, but there are enemies wandering around out there.
Winning points battle
To win a points battle get all gladiators close together, and with a Peltast, use exploding javelins. Friendly fire also counts for your points.
Accessory cart
Accessories are an important part of your warrior's outfit. Find the man who sells accessories who is standing by cart in the first area of Nordagh, in between Orin and Roanor.
