| ===Geo Symbols===
| | *[[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Episode XII: War of the Netherworld, Part 1|Episode XII: War of the Netherworld, Part 1]] |
| Near the blue Exp +50% Geo Symbol is a raised panel that is not affected by any Geo Panels. Destroying the Geo Symbol from here will leave you unaffected by the Geo chain.
| | *[[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Episode XIII: War of the Netherworld, Part 2|Episode XIII: War of the Netherworld, Part 2]] |
| | | *[[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Episode XIV: What Lies Beyond the Battle|Episode XIV: What Lies Beyond the Battle]] |
| After this stage is completed, it is renamed "Practice Map" and the Exp +50% Geo Symbol will no longer appear.
| |
| | |
| ===Magnificent Gate===
| |
| Near the base panel are two geo symbols. One of them increases the enemy's strength and one increases the amount of experience you gain from defeating the enemies. Before destroying the Enemy Boost geo symbol, you should check the bonuses being offered for having a high combo count. If the bonuses include alot of experience or good items, you may want to put the experience geo symbol on the [[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness/Geo Panels|Geo Panels]] before destroying the Enemy Boost symbol to create a large chain. Alternatively, destroy the Enemy Boost symbol and then place the Experience symbol on the colored tiles to increase the experience gained from defeating the enemies.
| |
| | |
| Once the Enemy Boost symbol is out of the way, you should have no problem defeating the foes.
| |
| | |
| ===Blessed Court===
| |
| The four ghosts near the Base Panel can be quickly destroyed. When they are killed, move two character onto the yellow Geo Panels which give them Attacks +1 and Def +50%. Line up your ranged attackers behind these two characters. The remaining enemies will attack, and the two character on the yellow Geo Panels should be able to easily hold them off.
| |
| | |
| ===Corridor of Love===
| |
| The Boggarts near the entrance should be killed as soon as possible. Once this is accomplished, move the characters into the water which is affected by Recovery +20%. Standing in this water should make it easy to defeat the archers which come and attack you. After they are defeated, you may want to remain in the water until your characters are fully healed. Finally, proceed up the stairs and finish off the remaining forces.
| |
| | |
| ===Hall of Caresses===
| |
| Before rushing in to battle, keep in mind that up ahead is an enemy with a bow and an enemy with spells both on Geo Panels affected by Attacks +1 and Enemy Boost x6. These enemies will most likely be able to defeat one of your characters in a single attack.
| |
| | |
| With this in mind, there are two tactics that can be used to minimize the damage they cause.
| |
| *Throw a character with a sword skill high enough to use Blade Rush next to the Geo Symbols. Then use Blade rush to destroy all three in a single attack. | |
| *Move two characters with a fist weapon skill high enough to use any Specials next two the enemies on the Geo Panels. The fist weapon skill will knock the enemies off it, and then you can move characters of your own on to it to prevent them from coming back.
| |
| | |
| Once the enemies on the Geo Panels are taken care of, focus your attention on Mid-Boss. He has powerful attacks that can cause alot of damage. To make defeating him easier, leave the Attacks +1 Geo Symbol alone, and have your characters use it to their advantage. Make sure Mid-Boss doesn't get on these panels, or you will be in for a tough battle.
| |
| | |
| ==Episode II: Enter Flonne==
| |
| ===Forsaken Land===
| |
| All of the zombies on this stage are weak to fire, so Red Mages and Red Skulls will deal alot of damage. Avoid going near the cliffs until the zombies are taken care of. Once the zombies are dead, throw your melee characters up the cliff and have your spell casters cast from below to take out the Archers and the Cleric.
| |
| | |
| ===Icy Breath===
| |
| This stage is filled with more zombies which are weak to fire. They start off next to each other, so using skills that affect multiple panels (such as Blade Rush and higher level magics) will take the zombies out very quickly.
| |
| | |
| ===Eternal Winter===
| |
| There are more zombies in this stage. Like the ones before them, they are all weak to fire. Finish them off quickly, because more enemies will be flying in to join them.
| |
| | |
| Whether you're prepared or not, the Imps and Gremlin will show up in a few turns. They use a skill that damages the character in front of them, and the two panels on the side of that character. This attack can be very damaging, since it has a chance of poisoning affected characters. To deal with this attack, spread your characters out. Putting them in a checkerboard pattern will ensure that no two of your characters are ever affected twice, and since the enemies dont care whether their friends get hurt, they will be dealing alot of damage to your enemies this way. Keep in mind that you do not gain experience for enemies that are killed by other enemies or by poison, so deal with the flyers as soon as you can.
| |
| | |
| ===White Death===
| |
| In this stage you will be fighting Flonne, her Dragon, and her army of Imps and Gremlins.
| |
| | |
| There are a few tactics that can make this battle easier.
| |
| *Keep your characters in the first few panels around the Base Panel. This will cause the Imps and Gremlins to come attack you, but Flonne and the Dragon will not. Your characters will all be bunched together, so they will be taking alot more damage, but will make fighting Flonne and the Dragon much easier. | |
| *Send your characters in, but keep them spread out to avoid multple characters being damage by the Imps. Have a character or small group of characters engage Flonne separately to prevent her from healing the rest of her troops.
| |
| | |
| Like the battles before it, most of the enemies here are weak to fire, so employ this to your advantage.
| |
| | |
| ==Episode III: A Hint of Kindness==
| |
| ===Gaudy Entrance===
| |
| The Brawlers here start far away, and can be engaged separately from the others by keeping your characters far enough away. Killing them individually will make this a very easy battle.
| |
| | |
| ===Golden Courtyard===
| |
| Near the base panel are several Brawlers. These can be killed fairly quickly. Do not worry about the rest of the map for now, since it is divided by a line of No Entry panels.
| |
| | |
| After the brawlers are dead, move your ranged attackers up next to the No Entry panels. There are two Brawlers with bows that can damage your characters, so focus on taking them out first. The priest will advance and try to heal his friend; take him out. When everyone else is dead, destroy the No Entry Geo Symbols and finish off the Manticore.
| |
| | |
| ===Flashy Passage===
| |
| There are even more Brawlers on this stage. Keep your melee characters in front of your ranged attackers. The brawlers will advance on your party, so you wont have to break up your formation. After the brawlers are dead, you will need to deal with the archers.
| |
| | |
| *Send your characters down the hall and around the corner to defeat the archers. Make sure to keep to the near side of the hall to stay out of the archers' range. This way is slower, but safer. | |
| *Move your ranged attackers close to the gap between platforms and attack the archers. This way is faster but puts your ranged attackers in more danger.
| |
| | |
| ===Lavish Hall===
| |
| The six Brawlers here will not move from their spots. By simply keeping away from them, you can avoid taking any damage. The 2 spear carrying Pugilists and the Rich Demon will move to engage your forces, so focus on them when they attack. After the Pugilists and Rich Demon are dead, mop up the remaining Brawlers with ranged attacks.
| |
| | |
| Note: If you have killed 50 allies before this battle, at the end of the battle you have the option of accessing an alternate ending.
| |
| | |
| ==Episode IV: Gift From an Angel==
| |
| In this chapter, there are many enemies weak against ice. Using Blue Mages, Blue Skulls, or gun users with Tri Burst will make these stages easier.
| |
| | |
| ===Road of Flames===
| |
| In this stage, there are many Geo Panels affected by two Exp +50% Geo Symbols. If the enemies wander off the Geo Panels, you can throw them back on to maximize the amout of experience you get. The Killer Armor here moves very slowly, but hits hard. Keep your characters away from it and focus on the weaker enemies before engaging it.
| |
| | |
| ===Parched Ground===
| |
| Like the previous battle, keep the Killer Armors away while you kill the rest.
| |
| | |
| ===Blazing Field===
| |
| The entire battlefield is covered in Geo Panels affected by Enemy Boost +50%. Near your Base Panel, however, is a Damage 20% Geo Symbol. Throw the Geo Symbol onto a Geo Panel and the enemies will all die in 5 turns. Since you can bring out 10 characters and must have one on the battlefield to end your turn, you can last 10 turns. Enemies killed by Damage 20% will not yield experience, so you can use this tactic if you are having problems defeating it otherwise.
| |
| | |
| ===Molten Labyrinth===
| |
| The Killer Armors will generally not move to attack unless you get close to them. By avoiding them, you just have the other enemies to worry about. Mid-Boss will start moving towards your party after a few turns even if you have not gone near him. Try to finish off as many enemies as you can before he gets to your party, and then focus on him. After everyone else is dead, kill the Killer Armors.
| |
| | |
| ==Episode V: Etna's Secret==
| |
| ===Absolute Zero===
| |
| This stage is affected by ATK -50%, Def +50%, and Ally Damage 20%. Your first priority is to destroy the Ally Damage 20% Geo Symbol. Throw a character to the imp near it, then have that character throw the imp on to the Geo Symbol. The other two Geo Symbols make all characters deal and take less damage, which can make the battle last alot longer than it needs to. You can either destroy the symbols or practice up your weapon skills on the enemies.
| |
| | |
| ===Endless White===
| |
| This can be a difficult battle. Laharl's stats are reduced to half. The only real tactic here is to avoid engaging multiple enemies. The ninjas will counterattack alot, so attack them at range to avoid it.
| |
| | |
| ===Terrible Cold===
| |
| All but two panels on this map are affected by Invincibility. One panel is the green one past all the enemies and the other is your Base Panel. With this in mind, there are a few tactics you can employ.
| |
| | |
| *Throw enemies on to the base panel. Depending on the strength of your allies still within, they may subdue and capture it or it may defeat them. Once the base panel is destroyed, you can kill the enemies by throwing them on the panel where it used to be. | |
| *Advance past the enemies by lifting them and throwing them out of the way. You will still take damage from holding things at the end of a turn. Once you get to the green panel, either throw the Invincibility Geo Symbol on it to make everything vulnerable, or throw enemies on to it to make them vulnerable.
| |
| | |
| This stage is an excellent place to level up. By combining many enemies in to one, you can create a very high level enemy. Then, put it on one of the panels that is not affected by invulnerability and kill it. Beware that you can create an enemy too high level to damage. Also, damaging but not killing the monsters before throwing them together will make the resulting monster have much less HP.
| |
| | |
| ===Ice Queen===
| |
| You will be fighting in confined spaces, so use this to your advantage when fighting here. As usual, keep the Golem at a distance. If you have problems winning this stage, you can use the previous stage to level your characters.
| |
| | |
| If you have killed 100 allies at this point in the game, you have the option of accessing an alternate ending at the end of the stage.
