- INTRODUCTION -                                                   [SEC0001]
=============================================================================
The purpose of this document is to explain how to beat the game without power
leveling and to provide a high level summary on the steps required to attain
maximum stats. If you are looking for complex formulas or statistical
minutia, this guide is not what you are looking for. There are other guides
that focus on the more in-depth parts of the game.
There are many steps in power leveling and the order is rather
interchangeable for a lot of it. I have compiled the steps in what I feel is
optimal, but you can do a lot of the steps out of order and still arrive at
the same result.
As a disclaimer: this FAQ has spoilers. Not only does it have spoilers, it
has lots of spoilers. I actually go out of my way to include them. Do not
continue reading this document if this bothers you in any shape or form.
I would like to extend special thanks to the regulars at the Disgaea 3
GameFaq forums. Your knowledge and insight has been extremely useful in
piecing together my strategies. I would also like to thank the writers of the
various official published guides. While I haven't looked at what the
official guides contain, I'm sure much of the data floating around was
originally sourced from there.

- WALKTHROUGH -                                                    [SEC0002]
=============================================================================
In the walkthough, I will discuss some general strategies to beat each stage.
I assume that you know the basics to fight - basically:
1) Keep characters with high HP in front of characters with low HP;
2) Gang up on enemies whenever possible; use team attacks and special attack
combinations;
3) Try to kill finish off enemies, it is preferable to eliminate one enemy
instead of damaging two;
4) Attempt to bait the enemy so you get first strike, this means using one
lead character and walking slowly across the map.
I also assume that you buy new equipment as money allows and buy/upgrade new
skills and Evilities as you accumulate mana. In each mission I provide a
recommended level as guidance, this number signifies what I feel should be
the average level of your top 5-6 characters.
While leveling all 10 (or more) characters is possible, if you want to
minimize having to level up, I recommend leveling up 3-5 main characters.
Generic (characters you can create) are generally quite a bit weaker than
story characters at the Tier 1 level, so using Mao and other story characters
are preferable.
I also use the system of only buying one really expensive weapon or armor
when I have saved up money and "passing it down" to my 2nd strongest
character when I buy something new. This ensures you will have one or two
characters that are quite a bit stronger than the rest. If you follow my
advice you should not have to "level up" at all outside of the story
missions. However, the ultimate goal is to have fun, so do whatever you want.
:)
2.1 Chapter 1 - Netherworld Honor Student                           [WLK2100]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every time you start a new chapter, there are three chests that spawn in the
town area. The contents are randomized and in theory you could keep on
resetting until you got an item you wanted. I think it is a waste of time
though and would recommend just taking whatever happens to be inside them.
The chests during chapter one are located: 1) right beside where you start;
2) by the hospital (jump to the bottom by the bed to reach it); 3) by the
staircase leading to the lower level by the green zombie.
2.1.1.1 Tutorial 1   [WLK2111]
------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv1
Enemies:
Lv1 Vato Bros.   x1 (Chewie)
Lv1 Pvt. Prinny  x3
Easy, throw one prinny to blow up the others then kill the Orc with combos.
2.1.1.2 Tutorial 2   [WLK2112]
------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv2
Enemies:
Lv3 Vato Bros.  x1 (Cholo)
Lv1 Eryngi      x4
Use combos to kill the guys on the lower part of the map.  To reach Cholo
either build steps like they did in the tutorial or you can throw someone
from the lower steps. You can also just cast spells with your mage and kill
Cholo without getting damaged.
2.1.1.3 Tutorial 3   [WLK2113]
------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv2
Enemies:
Lv4 Vato Bros.   x1 (Churro)
Lv2 Green Slime  x4
As noted by the tutorial, simply throw the green geo on the blue area and
destroy it. Be careful that none of your characters are standing on a colored
tile when you trigger the geo chain.
Replacing the Court system in previous Disgaea series is the Homeroom. It
basically serves the same purpose except you can also put characters into
"Clubs". Sometimes they need to sit next to each other to gain the special
effect and sometimes they don't; read the individual club descriptions for
more details. I recommend that you go to the Homeroom in order to pass Robber
Shop. Be sure to assign your characters to it afterwards.  You may also want
to pass "More Expensive Stuff" if your Customer Rank is 1 or higher. Making a
couple new characters is also advisable at this point.
2.1.2 Strongest Entrance   [WLK2120]
------------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv3
Enemies:
Lv4 No.1 Delinquent    x1 (Rasberyl)
Lv3 Rasberyl's Lackey  x2 (Asuka, Kyoko)
Lv1 Hero Wannabe       x1 (Almaz)
Not too challenging, but if you want to play it safe move one character one
square towards the enemy and End Turn. After drawing them to move, move two
squares behind the portal and End Turn - that will further isolate the
lackeys. Beat them down then defeat Rasberyl afterwards.
You do not need to defeat Almaz to finish this mission.
2.1.3 Strongest Hallway  [WLK2130]
----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv4
Enemies:
Lv4 Ghost     x1
Lv3 Catsaber  x6
Pick up the Blue geo and throw it on top of a red tile, then pick up the Null
geo and throw it on the green tile. Destroy the Green geo (on the red tile)
and watch the magic happen. Clean up the survivors.
2.1.4 Strongest Garden  [WLK2140]
---------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv5
Enemies:
Lv5 Mothman   x2
Lv4 Catsaber  x5
(x2 Treasure Chests)
Try to kill the enemies on the blue tiles to get extra treasure chests if you
want. You should also attempt to lure the enemies to you so you don't need to
fight too many at once. Aim to "overkill" the Mothmen because they are hard
to hit and some of your attacks will probably miss.
If you want the treasure chests throw someone across the chasm.
2.1.5 Strongest Crossroad   [WLK2150]
-------------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv6
Enemies:
Lv6 Petite Orc   x3
Lv5 Pvt. Prinny  x5
For this battle I'll introduce how to do chain throws (for those unfamiliar
with Disgaea). First move one character to left or right (ie, so he/she is
between an uncolored tile and the base portal). Then take out a second
character and place him next to the first one so he is standing on an
uncolored tile. Take out a third character but leave him standing on the base
portal. Use the first character to pick up the third, then the second to pick
up the first. The end result is a tower of three characters. Throw them so
that the character that was originally on the base panel is beside one of the
geos and that he is standing on an uncolored tile. That way when you destroy
the geo none of your characters will be damaged. After the chain is finished,
the enemies will all be approximately half dead.
Mop up then proceed to the next level, area attacks like Blade Rush work well
here.
2.1.6 Strongest Overlord   [WLK2160]
------------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv7
Enemies:
Lv6 Overlord's Finger  x5
If you want to be cheap you can just use a character with a Gun and stay out
of range while killing everything but the Bird. The Ring Finger can heal but
will run out of SP if you keep at it. I recommend taking out the Thumb first
since it is isolated and can't be healed. Be careful of the middle finger
(Bird) since it has a powerful area attack.
By now you probably have Customer Rank 2, make sure you use the Homeroom to
pass "More Expensive Stuff" if you haven't. You have probably earned some
more mana, so feel free to pick up some Evilties and to recruit more
characters if you want. Gun users and characters that can throw far are
useful.
If you are passing Homeroom bills that are not that popular keep in mind that
you can keep on refreshing the probability by pressing O then X over and over
again until you get better odds.
2.2 Chapter 2 - Mao's Heart                                         [WLK2200]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Another chapter, another opportunity to open some chests. They are: 1) behind
the big board (in front of the Shaman); 2) down the big staircase (opposite
of where the chest was in Chapter 1); 3) behind the item shops down the
stairs.
2.2.0.1 Tutoring: Geo Blocks (Tutorial 4)   [WLK2201]
-----------------------------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv8
Enemies:
Lv6 Green Slime  x3
Lv6 Marionette   x2
Just as the tutorial demonstrated, toss the Red geo by the other red geos to
destroy them all. Don't do anything else and End Turn. The marionettes will
move forward so kill them before dispatching the slimes.
2.2.0.2 Tutorial 5   [WLK2202]
------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv8
Enemies:
Lv8 Zombie  x1
Lv7 Thief   x6
As shown in the tutorial, throw the geo next to the huge stack of similar
geos to severely damage the group of thieves. The zombie has a lot of HP so
line up a big combo for him.
2.2.0.3 Tutorial 6   [WLK2203]
------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv8
Enemies:
Lv7 Green Mage    x1
Lv7 Lady Fighter  x3
Throw the Geo to blow up the rest then kill the four enemies. Nothing to it.
After going to the Heart Bank, open the chest behind the item vendor and the
chest by the big green crystal.
2.2.1 Childhood Memories   [WLK2210]
------------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv9
Enemies:
Lv9 No.1 Delinquent    x1 (Rasberyl)
Lv8 Rasberyl's Lackey  x2 (Asuka, Kyoko)
Lv6 Fighter            x3
Lv6 Lady Fighter       x2
This is probably the first battle that is somewhat difficult due to special
attacks that you will get bombarded with. Start by moving your highest
HP/defense character to the path on the right (where the enemy has to stand
on a +EXP tile without +DEF) and kill the Fighter that attacks you.
After you kill him everyone else will rush you. Try to have your low HP
characters in your base tile so they don't get killed. Afterwards just use
combo attacks to take them out one at a time. While you should focus on the
story characters, do not position yourself in a way that makes you vulnerable
to Blade Rushes from the Fighters.
You can try to use the +EXP tiles, but I recommend staying in the area around
the base tile so you don't need to fight enemies on the +DEF bonus.
2.2.2 Heart Vault   [WLK2220]
-----------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv10
Enemies:
Lv9 Heavy Knight  x4
Lv9 Heretic       x2
(Chest x1)
Start by tossing the Red geo onto the blue tile then destroying it to cause a
geo chain; use a ranged or magic attack if you can't reach the geo. If you
want to get the chest you likely need to send someone around the back to the
top. In my opinion it isn't worth it, but if you really want the chest you
should throw someone up the steps so the trek is shorter.
2.2.3 Dragon's Rest   [WLK2230]
-------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv10
Enemies:
Lv10 Fury Fatalist  x4
Lv10 Ghost          x1
Lv10 Red Mage       x1
Lv10 Wind Spinner   x2
(Chest x1)
Beryl and her lackeys are quite powerful so the real challenge is to get some
EXP before they kill everything! There is a chest behind the wall at the top
if you want to blast it with some magic.
2.2.4 Cooking Corridor   [WLK2240]
----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv11
Enemies:
Lv11 Alraune  x2
Lv11 Matango  x2
Lv11 Warcat   x4
There are lots of ways to get rid of the geos, but I suggest throwing the
Green geo by the single stack to combo it with the falling Blue geo. Throw
the Red geo by the wall of geos that span three across so that the Blue geo
combos there as well.
You can ignore the remaining Blue geo or use it to eliminate the blue column.
After opening the paths just try to block up the narrow passageways and put
your casters behind the front line. Beryl and her lackeys will attack through
the walls pretty often to help you out too. Due to the scattered positioning
of the enemies, this level should not be a problem.
2.2.5 Home Ec. Kitchen   [WLK2250]
----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv12
Enemies:
Lv13 Home Ec. Teacher  x1 (Mr. Champloo)
Lv11 Catsaber          x1
Lv11 Cockatrice        x2
Lv11 Fury Fatalist     x3
Lv11 Matango           x2
Lv11 Wind Spinner      x3
There are a lot of enemies in this stage but don't worry, they are spread out
and Mr. Champloo will never attack the egg. Just take your time and don't
pull too many enemies at once. If you want to play it safe you can just heal
Beryl and her lackeys and they will take out most of the enemies. When you
reach the teacher I suggest putting your strongest character in the front and
choosing "Defend" each turn while casters behind him/her do their thing. Try
not to get into counter battles with the teacher because he can deal pretty
big damage. Destroy the egg afterwards to finish the mission.
2.2.6 Grudgeful Memory   [WLK2260]
----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv13
Enemies:
Lv13 Marionette  x7
If you want to fight for EXP you can leave the geos intact but I recommend
throwing the Aqua geo to start the chain. Not only do you get to bonus level
9, but you can always repeat the level afterwards to make up for EXP you
missed.
2.2.7 Heart Vault (2)   [WLK2270]
---------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv14
Enemies:
Lv13 Piece of Mind  x7 (Mao)
This battle isn't too hard as long as you have a couple characters who can
take a strong axe attack (approximately 200 HP). On the first turn, run your
thief (or another high SPD character) to the center colored tile (Evade, hope
he is lucky!), and then throw your other four high HP characters to the other
geos. You may be able to get a Blade Rush or two off, but you'll eat two Axe
attacks afterwards. On the second turn you can move some characters off the
tiles to get better positioning if you can fill the spot with a decent HP
character.
After the two Axe guys are dead the spear guys will come which means you
should take your magic casters back one row as they have a range of 2.  When
the spear guys are dead, the sword guy is likely going Blade Rush you; he has
a lot of HP so gang up on him. At this point you may want to abandon your
tiles if you can box him in to keep him from taking the colored tile spots
over. The next turn the casters will join the fray, but hopefully they stick
with physical attacks until you can destroy them.
If you don't have that many characters who can survive a hit you'll need to
try to bait the enemy to fight closer to your portal. It is just dangerous to
fight them on the tiles since it can lead to unpredictable deaths. If you are
having trouble, consider playing the previous level a couple times to gain a
level or two.
2.3 Chapter 3 - The Freshmen Leader!                                [WLK2300]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before we get started pick up the treasure chests: 1) on the upper staircase
on the side with the Prinny; 2) by Geoffrey; 3) by the Armor vendor.
2.3.1 Blazing Firestorm   [WLK2310]
-----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv15
Enemies:
Lv16 Vato Bros.   x1 (Chewie)
Lv15 Beast Tamer  x4
Lv15 Ghoul        x7
We are going to use the +20% Damage geos to help out on this level. Use a
character with high HP and throw the Red geo onto the Yellow tiles and End
Turn. Two of the Ghouls will rush you, so heal up and take them out on the
following turn.
If you didn't move anyone too far ahead, no other enemies should not move, so
End Turn a couple times to severely damage the other Ghouls. You may want to
remove to Geo when they are at 20% (or kill them off quickly) if you want the
EXP.
Slowly move forward and take out the rest of the enemies for an easy win. If
there is something you want in the Bonus gauge you can throw all three of the
damage geos on the yellow tiles and start a combo.
2.3.2 Student Chaos   [WLK2320]
-------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv16
Enemies:
Lv17 Vato Bros.  x1 (Cholo)
Lv16 Gunslinger  x3
Lv16 Red Blob    x6
(Treasure Chest x1)
Start by using magic to kill as many blobs on the side as you can. Follow up
by throwing someone to kill the remaining one or to pull him into the range
of your casters. Using the guy you threw over, pick up the Red geo and throw
it onto the blue tile. Destroy the geo to damage the enemies on the other
side and to eliminate the bonus to the Gunslingers.
The Gunslinger on the right you can take out with Blade Rushes, the other two
you can hit with magic or guns. Keep in mind that if you move to within 4
squares they can use their special move on you which deals about 100 damage.
Kill what you can then toss your strongest characters over to fight; try to
do it on a fresh turn so they can all immediately attack once they are on the
other side. If you stay on the two green squares on the side the enemies
won't move, so use that to your advantage if you want.
2.3.3 Thrill   [WLK2330]
------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv17
Enemies:
Lv18 Vato Bros.  x1 (Churro)
Lv17 Red Mage    x5
Lv17 Red Skull   x5
Lv17 Rogue       x2
The main strategy this level is to silence the mages so they don't cause
problems. First form a tower of 3 characters and perform a chain throw onto
the little platform opposite to where Churro is. One of your characters
should land somewhere by the Blue geo which you should move onto the blue
tile area.
Now that the skulls are silenced, move out ranged characters and start
whittling them down, careful of moving melee characters inside the blue area
because HP/SP swap is still in effect. Once you clear out the skulls move
someone by the rogue closest to Churro and lure him to the edge so you can
kill him with ranged attacks.
Throw someone to the newly made empty island and move the Yellow geo on the
purple tile to silence the mages. Kill the mages for victory. If you want
stuff from the bonus gauge you can destroy the Yellow and Aqua geos to cause
two chains.
2.3.3.1 Item World   [WLK2331]
------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv18
Enemies:
Random!
You'll now need to do 10 levels of the Item World. Before you dive in I
suggest picking up a couple SP recovery items incase you get a bit too
trigger happy with special attacks. Anyway, talk to the Item World guy and
he'll tell you to pick an item, read the number at the bottom of the screen
to judge the difficulty. I suggest going into an Imperial Seal, but any item
where it starts at approx Lv5-8 will work. An imperial seal will top out at
Floor 10 with enemies at Lv13 and the boss at Lv16.
There is really nothing to it, go in, try to put your guys on good squares
(Reverse Damage, +DEF, +ATK, Invincibility) and fight/steal from these spots
if possible. If there is nothing in the bonus list you want you can do chain
throws directly to the portal to end levels quickly. On the 10th level try to
kill everything to earn another Mr. Gency.
2.3.4 Threatful Abuse   [WLK2340]
---------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv19
Enemies:
Lv18 Druid x2
Lv17 Killer Puppet  x9
(Chest x2)
This is a pretty easy level in general. Overcome the urge to throw the Green
geo and just crowd around where the solitary one is. The puppets will rush
you in packs making easy work of them. When only the druid remains, throw the
Green geo to make some stairs and kill him. Throw the Red geo afterwards to
take the enemies down to 50% life before mopping up.
2.3.5 Nightmare Days   [WLK2350]
--------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv20
Enemies:
Lv18 Druid    X5
Lv17 Mothman  x3
This level is more annoying than hard. Basically all of the geos are bad for
you and good for the enemy. Move slowly and attack from the safe spots.
Simply take your strongest ranged character and have your healer follow
him/her around. The druids will cast a Star spell that does about 150-200
damage, so be careful.
Once you start fighting the moths will start coming down. I suggest placing
someone where you killed the first druid. Defeat the moths and continue. I
used Blade Rush, but you can use whatever you feel most comfortable with.
2.3.6 Forceful Education   [WLK2360]
------------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv21
Enemies:
Lv20 Cockatrice  x3
Weird level where there are only three enemies! Ok, first move a strong
character out and sit him on the highest point where you get +100% DEF and
End Turn, the chickens will move around and attack you. Now that they have
opened up the top a bit you can move out some characters and stake out 2
spots next to each other. So what you want to do is destroy the blue squares
on two spots (where your characters are standing) so they can attack at 100%
while retaining their DEF bonus. You can manually target the geos by using
standard attacks.
Once the spots have been cleared out, do a combo attack and focus on
defeating one enemy at a time. If you are having trouble you may need to
clear out a third spot so you have three characters to combo with.
2.3.6.1 Board Conspiracy   [WLK2361]
------------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv21
Enemies:
LV19 Delinquent?  x7 (Raspberyl?)
Throw the Blue geo onto the solitary green tile on the side and destroy it to
create a small combo. After getting damaged, the enemies will move towards
you. Try to lure them closer so you don't fight them on the yellow tiles
which are still dangerous. Keep in mind that one of them has twice the HP as
the rest of them.
2.3.7 Assault! PTA   [WLK2370]
------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv22
Enemies:
Lv22 Overboard Teacher   x1 (School Board President)
Lv21 Assassin of the SB  x8
Lv20 Messenger           x1
You are likely to suffer a couple of deaths in this battle since the
assassins can deal 250-350 damage with their special move and the teacher can
deal 500+ damage. However, since you have some allies helping you out this
battle is not that hard. I suggest rushing down the middle with mainly melee
characters because casters will likely die in one hit. As a potential tactic
to use, you can use throws to get characters in battle range then have them
walk back out of the danger zone after they attack.
2.4 Chapter 4 - Almaz the Hero                                      [WLK2400]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What a softy! Maybe that's why the game has rewarded him with another three
chests: 1) down the staircase beside the Sexy Teacher; 2) beside the nurse in
the Hospital; 3) on a platform behind the Armor Vendor.
2.4.1 Freezing Soul   [WLK2410]
-------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv23
Enemies:
Lv23 Sexy Teacher       x1 (Ms. Machiko)
Lv23 Spirirted Teacher  x1 (Kotter Sensei)
Lv22 Vato Bros.         x3 (Chewie, Cholo, Churro)
The Vatos are pretty pathetic as usual but the teachers have the ability to
dish out over 500 damage per attack. Start by run/tossing your guys over to
the green side because you don't want to be fighting on blue. Just run a guy
over to the bridge, then run another guy and toss the first over, rinse and
repeat. The last guy there with nobody to toss should either be a sacrificial
lamb or someone who can take a hit. Combo the enemies as they come across the
bridge and voila, victory! If you like the bonus list stuff you can also
destroy some geos to help the bar go up faster.
2.4.2 Chaotic Chill   [WLK2420]
-------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv24
Enemies:
Lv22 Cu Sith  x3
Lv20 Gunner   x11
This is a tricky level because the Green panels are brutal. The clone effect
means that new enemies will spawn after every turn.
To solve the problem first form a chain of 4 characters until the one
furthest away is right beside the closest Gunner. Use these characters to
form a tower and throw your strongest character near the Blue geo so he can
destroy it causing a combo. Your first throw should land right beside another
Gunner (3 squares), and your second throw should be in the middle of the
icicle steps (4 squares). The third should be on the icicle closest to the
wolf (3 squares) and your final throw should be beside the wolf. You should
still be able to move your final character if you picked him up while he was
on the base panel, so use him/her to destroy the blue Geo.
At this point the Gunners should have about 2/3 of their life remaining so
they should not be overly difficult. If your team isn't balanced you might
lose some of your throwers - too bad. The Gunners won't move off their tiles
and can only attack on their perpendicular axis so you will be safe as long
as you are not in their targeted zone. The gunners can hit targets up to 5
squares away.
2.4.3 Eternal Teardrop   [WLK2430]
----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv25
Enemies:
Lv20 Vodianoi  x1
Lv18 Warslug   x8
Same drill as last level, form a tower of 5 characters (4 outside plus one
picked up from the base panel) and throw a strong character by the Red geo.
Your first throw lands close to a Warslug (4 squares), the second and third
throws get your remaining 2 characters to the icicles by the Red geo, and
your final throw puts your last character beside the geo itself.
Your characters that were standing on a colored tile will take about 120
damage from the geo chain, but no problem right? The Warslugs will be
severely damaged, so just mop up and collect your bonus gauge loot.
After some mingling, one-twoing (follow along in real life!), pick up the
treasures inside the heart: 1) behind the Class Rep; 2) beside the Beast
Tamer; 3) Beside the big green crystal.
2.4.4 Murderous Intent   [WLK2440]
----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv26
Enemies:
Lv24 Daddy's Boy?  x8
This mission isn't too bad as long as you don't destroy the Silence geo too
early.  First toss a ranged unit(s) over to the side with the two Yellow geos
so they can snipe nearby enemies. You should also place other ranged units by
your base panel so you can attack from there as well.
After awhile all the enemies with ranged attacks will be dead and the ones
with limited range will just sit there. Use your characters to destroy two
squares of Silence geos on the right side where there is a one square ledge
close to your base portal strip. When it is safe, toss over two guys and the
remaining enemies will run over there to fight. Try to kill as many as you
can with your ranged units and keep in mind you may need to destroy some more
geos to make a "staircase" so enemies can reach you.
If there is something in the bonus list that interests you, cause a geo
reaction before you kill the last enemy.
2.4.4.1 Psycho Room   [WLK2441]
-------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv27
Enemies:
Lv26 Overlord's Finger  x5
This battle is the same as last time, if you stick with using max range from
guns only The Bird will be able to hit you.  The Bird's area attack is very
strong and will likely kill anyone that it hits, so make sure you have a
massive chain attack lined up when you approach it.
2.4.5 Futile Revenge   [WLK2450]
--------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv28
Enemies:
Lv25 Champinion  x9
Use your strongest character and clear away some geos by your base panel;
special attacks are useful to destroy several at once. On following turns
expand the geo-free zone so it will accommodate your party but not your
enemies. It is your advantage to have the mushrooms warp around. Simply sit
tight and wait for the monsters to warp by you so you can kill a couple every
turn.
2.4.6 Heart Vault (3)   [WLK2460]
---------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv29
Enemies:
Lv28 Piece of Mind   x1 (Mao)
Lv26 Archer          x4
Lv26 Brand New Idol  x2
Lv26 Cu Sith         x1
Take someone who is expendable and move him on the warp geo (situate him/her
on top of the Yellow geo itself). Standing on the geo will cause the
character to warp behind the enemies once you End Turn. Remove the Aqua geo
from the purple area and replace it with the Purple Geo. You can try to warp
back to your home portal afterwards but the Archers will probably kill that
character. Try to fight on the purple tiles for the rest of the battle.
2.5 Chapter 5 - Grand War                                           [WLK2500]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Whoa what happened? The shop layout has changed! Well, let's get our three
treasure chests: 1) beside the Item Vendor; 2) beside the Weapon vendor; 3)
and beside the Armor vendor.
2.5.1 No Running Hallway   [WLK2510]
------------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv30
Enemies:
Lv30 Vato Bros.    x3 (Chewie, Cholo, Churro)
Lv28 Pvt. Prinny  x16
Throw a barrel at each of the two prinnies closest to you, voila!
2.5.2 Organized Corridor   [WLK2520]
------------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv31
Enemies:
Lv30 Empusa     x4
Lv30 Nemophila  x2
First form a small tower to destroy the Blue geo. Doing so will get rid of
the Fusion effect (makes the enemies combine and level up). Rush down the
middle and start killing enemies. Every turn an additional enemy will spawn
from their portals to it pays to try to maximize kills with area attacks if
possible.
2.5.3 Audio-Visual Room   [WLK2530]
-----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv32
Enemies:
Lv34 Beheading Master  x1 (Gold Knuckle)
Lv30 Vato Bros.        x3 (Chewie, Cholo, Churro)
Lv20 Catsaber          x2
Lv20 Ghost             x2
Lv20 Eryngi            x2
Lv20 Green Slime       x2
Lv20 Mothman           x2
Lv20 Pvt. Prinny       x2
Toss barrels at the prinnies to set off some beautiful fireworks while
conveniently killing most of the low level enemies. End your turn so the
enemies will rush you giving you better positioning. Try to keep your low HP
characters back since those normally worthless Vato Bros picked up a new
special attack that deals about 300 damage. Easy huh?
Just kidding.. Round two begins immediately afterwards.
Lv34 Beheading Master  x1 (Gold Knuckle)
Lv32 Warcat            x1
Lv30 Archer            x4
Lv30 Lady Warrior      x2
Lv30 Rogue             x4
Lv30 Star Skull        x2
Lv30 Warrior           x2
The real fight begins now. Start by End Turning twice to lure the two axe
guys up near the base portal. Try to kill them quickly so they don't have a
chance to use the +50% ATK bonus. The enemies on the side will rush you next;
there will be more of them so take care. If you want to ensure that you don't
take big damage you can always lift up one of them at the end of the turn so
they don't get a chance to attack - the character doing the lifting will take
damage though.
After the ranged units are dead the spear guys and the casters will come at
you, defeat them like the others. Gold Knuckle has a lot of HP and has strong
DEF so try to lure him onto the tiled area to fight him. If he isn't standing
on a -DEF tile throw him on there then combo him down. His movement is also
quite pathetic if you just want to hit him with ranged attacks and run away.
2.5.4 Chain Death Battle   [WLK2540]
------------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv34
Enemies:
Lv32 Genin     x5
Lv32 Ronin     x5
Lv31 Exorcist  x3
Lv31 Hanakage  x8
Over 20 enemies.. a full house! I personally just formed a tower of 6 and
landed a bunch of guys right in the middle of the first pack, but if you are
careful you can walk around the edge towards the geos without getting hit by
the archers. The archer's range is 4, so as long as you do not stand close to
them you will be ok.
After you kill off the Ronins swap the two geos with each other then destroy
the Blue and Purple geos in that order to cause two combos. Do the swap
quickly as more guys will rush to attack you and you want them all to get
damaged by the geos if possible. I suggest you proceed slowly because 5-6
archers all raining chaos down at you at once will hurt a lot. If you have
ranged characters remember you can hit them through the wall as well.
2.5.5 Rotten Grudge   [WLK2550]
-------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv35
Enemies:
Lv33 Corpse  x9
Put one or two strong melee guys in front, and then ranged guys behind to
form a chain on the bridge. Let the zombies walk on it so you get bonus mana
for defeating them. What a sleeper!
2.5.6 Victims' Ecstasy   [WLK2560]
----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv36
Enemies:
Lv36 Diabloist    x1
Lv34 Blue Skull   x2
Lv34 Dark Knight  x3
Lv34 Exorcist     x3
Lv34 Ronin        x2
Lv32 Genin        x3
Lv32 Hanakage     x3
Start off by rushing the hanakages and try to take them out; some of it is
luck since they are hard to hit. If you want to increase the attack accuracy
of your top characters, consider tossing them behind the enemy. After you
kill the genins, the forces on the other side of the bridge will start
fighting each other. Gather up your forces and proceed cautiously as more
enemies will spawn out of their portal.
That rose attack is so annoying.. anyway.. the Sophomores will soak up most
of the damage so take advantage of it before they get wiped out.
2.5.7 Waking Nightmares   [WLK2570]
-----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv37
Enemies:
Lv39 Yukikage  x4
Lv37 Chunin    x4
Lv34 Exorcist  x4
Lv34 Ronin     x4
(Chests x12)
The only real trick is that you need to throw the geos to make steps for your
characters with low jump. On the second set, throw the Jump geo where you
need an especially large boost. The third set of steps requires that you use
most of the geos, but it is unlikely that you will have the time to set up
since the ninjas will come down to attack you.
2.5.8 Captain's Location   [WLK2580]
------------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv38
Enemies:
Lv40 Diez Gentlemen  x1 (Salvatore)
Lv36 Beast Leader    x3
Lv36 Genin           x2
Lv36 Gunner          x4
Lv36 Iron knight     x2
Lv36 Yukikage        x1
Lv35 Beast Leader    x3
Lv34 Basilicrow      x3
Lv34 Hell Hound      x3
This battle isn't that bad even though it looks difficult. Rush the chicken
group right away and take them out within a turn or two. After the chickens
are dead, take care of the ninjas on your doorstep while you keep an eye on
the transforming wolves. Mop up, heal up and follow Big Star up the hill. The
Iron Knights have high defense and high HP so you will need to gang up to
take them out.
When you are finally up against Salvatore, you must do huge chain attacks
else you will not be able to do much damage. Always start your combos with
weak attacks going first and your strongest attacks last. As usual, try to
flank the enemy to increase your accuracy rate.
2.6 Chapter 6 - The Reckoning                                       [WLK2600]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geoffrey that sneaky little.. anyway... let's get the treasure chests for
Chapter 6: 1) down the ledge by the hospital; 2) behind the weapon vendor; 3)
on the lower platform behind Geoffrey.
Go into the Heart Bank and get the chests there: 1) by the big purple
crystal; 2) by the big dark blue crystal up top; 3) below the Item World guy
(hard to see, rotate the camera).
2.6.1 Evil Mind Vortex   [WLK2610]
----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv39
Enemies:
Lv30 White Dragon  x10
The only trick in this level is that the dragons will level up for every turn
that passes. You should use throws to quickly traverse the map destroying
geos. If you have good positioning you can let the dragons level up a bit so
that you get big EXP for killing them. Just make sure that you kill them the
turn they land so they do not have a chance to attack.
2.6.2 Howl of Agony   [WLK2620]
-------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv40
Enemies:
Lv42 Death  x6
For this level you have to run a gauntlet of casting enemies while trying to
match up the geos to bring them down. Basically try to stick to the central
areas where they may not be able to hit you. Stay healed and spread out a bit
since their magic is an area attack. Keep in mind that the green column can
only be blown up if you throw the corresponding geo to the side that is on
the elevated ledge.
2.6.2.1 Heart Vault (4)   [WLK2621]
-----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv42
Enemies:
Lv46 Super Hero         x1 (Aurum)
Lv44 Acolyte            x1
Lv44 Champ of Fighters  x1
Lv44 Destroyer          x1
Lv44 Prism Mage         x1
Each of these guys are pretty tough with the melee guys having a lot of HP.
Walk 4-5 squares until you trigger the champ over and eliminate him. If your
casters have buff spells use them now and prepare.
After you are ready, either send in a sacrifice or your strongest characters
to soak in the first couple hits. There isn't a lot of space so you may try
to hide your weak characters inside the base panel if they get too damaged.
Aurum has a ton of HP so I recommend taking out his lackeys first and killing
him last. Aurum isn't too bad... except when he uses his super area attack, so
spread out!
2.6.3 Legendary School   [WLK2630]
----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv44
Enemies:
Lv45 Vato Bros.  x3 (Chewie, Cholo, Churro)
Lv44 Catsaber    x6
Lv44 Specter     x2
Lv44 Watcher     x4
(Chests x3)
Say hello to moving geos! In this level the geos will move around so you
cannot count on the tiles you stand on being beneficial to you. Because of
the moving +50% Enemy boost, you need to be very careful as it can quickly
lead to the death of your top characters if you are not careful.
Proceed very carefully up the staircase and do not play hero by running into
the middle of them. Once you clear the upper section I suggest moving your
fragile characters back into the base panel and destroying the Enemy Boost
geo. It is quite easy to trigger a full geo combo if you are not careful, but
if you have about 1500 HP you will survive the four rounds of damage. After
the moving geos are gone the rest of the battle should be relatively
straightforward.
2.6.4 Vile Voodoo Doll   [WLK2640]
----------------------------------
Recommended Level: Lv45
Enemies:
Lv46 Scout            x5
Lv46 Shaman           x2
Lv46 Skeletal Dragon  x3
(Chests x3)
Pretty easy level as long as you do not stand on any colored tiles (Bye bye
Panel = you die!). Bait the first dragon and archer in the red zone first and
quickly kill them. Go through the blue area and destroy the geo at the end
taking out enemies along the way.
Now for the red side (which should have turned blue). Although it's possible
to whittle the dragon down with ranged attacks, it is easier if you defeat
him with throws. Move a character onto the blue area and pick up the dragon,
then use another character to run past the lifted dragon before throwing the
dragon down. After putting down the dragon pick up your original thrower with
your second guy and lift him to safety.
Destroy the three barrels then take out the other dragon. Make a dash past
the archer, take out the Shaman then eliminate the geo. If you character has
a jump stat of 24 or higher you will be able to go over 2 crates at once,
otherwise you'll need to move the entire "ladder" to reach the top. Double
