BOSS: VOLT
----------



NOTE: Heal Max once the fight starts, as he'll be with 1 HP for being so
reckless. Also, equip the Trident on Reid and, if you haven't done so yet,
outfit everybody with Stun Charms.

I was very surprised when I entered and had to fight the bastard immediately.
Firstly, be sure to have Nurse and Spread on your shortcuts. Yeah, two spells
of Meredy. Have your finger ready on Nurse's button, and jam on Spread's.
Also, equip the Trident on Reid. Have Farah use stuff like Rising Dragon
Strike; remember, Volt is a flying ball, therefore, ground-level attacks are
worthless. This means Reid's best weapon is Demon Twist(Not Demon LIGHTING
Hammer, for hopefully obvious reasons) Also, be sure to equip your Stun
Charms, otherwise Volt will stun the hell out of you and then, ha ha, kick
your sorry ass.

At first, it would seem like Volt is a sorry, little ball, because you can
attack it without major problems, constantly, with Spread, Demon Twist.
However, after a bit of harm, Volt will get REALLY serious, and that's when
things get damn tough. At first, you could keep him at bay easily, but then,
he'll attack no matter how much punishment he's receiving. These attacks are
Thunder Blade(1500), Spark Wave(around 900) and Family Reunion, attack where
Volt divides itself into little bolts that bounce around the field. Each of
their touches is worth 89 PTS of DMG. You can, however, survive this without
any kind of trouble, like I did.

Firstly, it's very important that you Nurse yourself whenever you hit the
1200-1500 area. Have Meredy cast Spread constantly(with any luck, it'll extend
into Maelstrom), but have her cast Nurse whenever you're with the amount of Hp
I've told you. Meredy and Reid will be the main attackers her. As told, equip
the Trident and set Demon Twist so it used once you press circle(the first of
Reid's skill slots) and jam on circle throughout the entire battle, as well as
Spread's shortcut button. This works wonders: attack after attack. Volt won't
even get a chance to move. Have Max -- who's useless in this battle -- apply
the Pine Gels on those who needed(Reid and Meredy) whenever the situation
arises. Try to keep Bolt on one end of the screen, while your party on the
other: don't let him become "part" of your party. If he's getting dangerously
near, have Reid run off to the other side of the screen, and press L1 + Down
to call for your buds. This is also great when you want to heal without
risking yourself to be hit. Run off to one corner and heal. Volt won't catch
up, because he's very slow.

It's not a tough fight, in all honesty(no, I was not in level 250. Level 35 to
be exact). You just need to keep attacking with both of the attacks I
mentioned, heal whenever your HP hits 1500, and it'll be over in no time.
******************************************************************************

Volt is suffering great pain, and asks you to press the "white switch" to stop
it. This white switch is on the top-right corner of screen. From where Volt
is, you can see it shining. Talk to Meredy to get a sequence(something in
Melnics). Go toward the switch and press it. Then, approach each statue and
watch closely the green screens they have. It'll show various symbols. Match
them with what Meredy gave you(press X) and then you'll free Volt! He'll join
without trouble.

After this, Rem and Shadow appear(two Craymels), who give you the Excalibur.
Afterward, backtrack to entrance(WHY CAN'T THEY SEND YOU BACK THERE
AUTOMATICALLY!? Damn Namco...) and then, back to Tinnsia.

Fog will begin the battle with only 1 HP, have him use a lemon gummy.
Have Rid keep him close to the wall with Kogarenzan. Have Meredy keep you alive
with nurse and down him with spread. Using Chat and Fog works well as he tends to
knock you unconcious with his attack. He might use Seperate Family to knock most
of your party Hp out. or worse. Do an Indignation spell at you. Since you have
trained well. He should be no problem for you right?(Level 43 can take him easily.)

Volt probably has something wrong with him. Celsius says that you'll have
to reset him. Talk to Meredy to get the sequence you need. Start the machine in the
back. Press the 3 columns to stop the symbol to match the sequence. Fortunately, if
you get one right. It'll stay that way. After doing so, Meredy gets Volt in the gauge.
She back away to call all spirits out. Which brings Rem and Shadow to appear.
Rem and Shadow will join powers to give you the Excalibur Sword
(Slash +615,Thrust + 590, Luck +5) for getting all 6 spirits.
