description of miguel The boss has about 2000 HP, is innate White and actually does two magical combo-attacks which are quite deadly. One is the combination between "Weak Minded" (lowers magical defense) and the skill "HolyDragnSword". This will cause about 400 Points damage to any innate black character, about 300 to a non-black one and less than 200 for an innate white one. The other combination is "Turn Black" together with either "Photon Ray" (rarely) or "Photon Beam" (often) which causes around 200 Points of damage. To make him even worse, Miguel quite often casts "Anti Black" which stops you from using the most effective spells. When in critical condition, Miguel first casts "Meteor shower" which causes arount 150 Points of damage to each character, followed immediatly by "Holy Light" which causes around 250 points each. Did I say, this guy is difficult?

low resources As I told in the introduction, I am quite a rush player. Techniques to make Miquel a lot easier are Use Trap Holy light Use "Turn XXX" to weaken his white attaks Use a lot of revives Unfortunatly I was not able to do any of these strategies as I had just one revive, one "Turn Black" which did not work on him and no Trap Holy light (if I remember correctly, everything can be bought in "Another World" on the Isle of Marbule when still playing Serge. Going back there was no alternative for me as I just wanted to continue in the storyline). By the way: Casting "Seal All" to prevent Miguel from casting its Holy Light and finishing him off with Lynx' physical attaks will not work as Seal All does not affect Miguel.

get starky The low-stock strategy I had to use involved getting starky although I did not know what to get from diving in the El Nido triangle when I was doing it. I simply was demotivated from fighting Miguel over an over (and having to watch the story sequence before the fight as you cannot save after having seen it), so I went down to the El Nido triangle and took a dive. Down there, I could find a "Star Fragment" of with a guy in the spell shop in Guldove told me that one of those once saved the live of another adventurer on the Island of the Sky dragon. There I had to fight a strange looking boss named "Mega Starky" which, after I defeated and catched it in a minigame, joined my party. Starky not only looks great, he too is innate white (and as such well protected from the attaks of Miguel) and he has quite a high value of Magic Power which is quite handy. After all, the fight against him leaves a "MagNegate" Element which is very useful to protect Lynx against Miguels nasty "HolyDragnSword". After Starky joined, I went back to guldove and bought a lot of "RecoverAll" which is great as it works exactly like "HealAll", but requires only level 3 to be cast. In the dead sea, in the aera where you had to fight this Highwayman, just when you enter from the south, don't climb the stairs, but go north right of them, then follow the path back down until you reach a tresure chest containing "Free Fall" which causes 150 points of damage to Miguel. If you can, you should equip Lynx with an Accessoire to protect him from AntiBlack. I had a lot of those, so I think, they are quite common (although I do not know the name of them any more). This is enough of preparation. Now go back and face him.

beating miguel Lynx begins the fight. If you are lucky and do not miss your physical attacks, you should reach spell level 6 and cast "Free Fall" on Miguel before he can cast "Strong Minded", and thus cause 150 points of damage instead of just 100. Miguels entering strategy is always first casting AntiBlack and next "Strong Minded". After casting "Strong Minded", you have a short thime before he either casts "Weak Minded" (will be followed by HolyDragnSword) or "Turn Black". Hit him with all you have, but don't use any attaking-spells with starky. Just use him to heal the party. Look to never have less than 250 HP. When you think to have inflicted lots of damage, begin to watch your stamina meter. At least starkys should never reach zero as you will have to immediatly fully heal your party after Miguel casted Meteor Shower or his "Holy Light" will kill all of you. If you see that you cannot fully heal your party after he cast "Meteor Shower", just "Run Away" from him and restart the battle as he will always cast holy light and it will kill the whole party and you will have to watch the story sequence again. If you want to, you can starky make to cast "MagNegate" on Lynx at any time but do it only after Miguel has cast "Strong Minded" as he always first powers himself up before attaking.

conclusion After getting starky, it only took me two tries to kill miguel. He defetated me once because I did not have enough stamina to raise my spell level high enough to heal my party after the "Meteor Shower" and before "Holy Light". If you follow this guide, killing Miguel is actually quite easy. So. Now that this quide is written, I think, I just turn on my video beamer and continue playing. Who knows: Maybe, I will have to post another one of these guides soon ;-)
