2.Introduction
I'm writing this faq, to one of the greatest Role Playing Games
ever released for the Playstation. The bosses in this game are about the
only hard part of Lunar:SSSC, because the puzzles and dungeons aren't
very hard. SO now on with the Faq.This is my first real faq, and I will
write more faqs, especially for games that have real sucky faqs or no
faqs at all. This faq can have some spoilers, so read at your own risks.
The spoilers aren't storyline spoilers, but they do reveal the final
boss, so read only to the part you need.

Tranquil Song 15 A
She has some Very usefull healing spells, and her Cascade Song raises
both Attack and Defense which is a must for some Boss Fights
C.Ramus
He has no spells, and gains only Hp at level up. He leaves u early,
which is good because he really sucks.
Rating-D-
D.Nash
He is the magician of the group, but I feel he is the worst of the 5
Main characters.
He has High Mp, and Int, and He's and Ok attacker when equipped with a
Bow.

Confusion 7 C-
Magic Box 8 C-
Stone 6 C-
I never found any of his status spells to be ever useful, since they
don't work most of the time. His thunder attacks are good for regular
enemies, but he is a little help usually in Boss battles.
E.Jessica
She is the healer, and a must in most Boss battles. She also has a high
attack Power compared to the other magicians.

Her Saint Litany is kind of like a regen spell, which recovers some Hp
at the end of each turn. Her healing spells are a must in most boss
battles.
F.Mia
She has the highest Mp and Int in the game, But her Hp,attack, and
Defense are Low. She has some good Ice, and Fire attack spells, and one
of the best support spells.

Flash Arrow 8 B
Flash Wind 10 B
His Flash Arrow does decent damage, and Flash Wind is useful againts
regular enemies as it just blows them away.
Bosses
1.Saline Slimer
The Saline Slimer is your first boss, and one of the easiest in the
entire game(thus being the first one). If you are at least Level 10, and
do the required patter you should have no problem. First off, the
Saline Slimer has a two managable attacks, and one attack that is a real
pain. His first two attacks are a his normal attack that hits a
character for 20 damage twice. His second attack does about 35 damage to
one character. His other harded to manage attack is his Mucus attack,
which traps a character for about 4-5 turns. If Alex is trapped, you
might have a real hard time winning the battle. First off give Ramus
all your healing nuts, and the starlight you found in the old hag's
forest. Now enter the battle. Have luna cast Cascade Song on Alex twice.
Then have her heal with Tranquil song. Have Alex use Sword Dance every
turn to do about 200 damage after he has Cascade Song cast on him. Have
Nash Cast Thunder Bomb on him for about 40-50 damage. Have Ramus attack,
or heal using Healing Nuts. If Alex runs out of Mp have Ramus use a
starlight on him. Saline Slimer heals for about 90 hp each turn, but
with the damage you do, he should die easy.
2.Master Mel
You don't have to win this fight, but if you do you earn 100 extra EXP
points for Alex. To win have Alex at level 12. Stuff his inventory with
all herbs, and maybe one starlight. Mel does about 15 damage if you get
the best armor in Meribia, and about 20-25 with the armor from Saith.
Now onto the fight. Have Alex use Vigor on himself twice, while keeping
himself healed. Then unleash Sword Dances on Mel. When u run out of Mp
use a Starlight and continue with Sword Dances, or just finish him of
with regular attacks.
3.Water Dragon
Some people have trouble with this guys, but he is easy as long as you
have your guys at level 13 and put them all in the back row using nall's
formation screen. When in the back row, the Water Dragon has only one
attack which does about 30 damage. Have Luna and Ramus equipped with the
best Bow from Meribia, and have the best armor on your characters. Have
Luna Cast Cascade Song on Alex twice and then heal, while Ramus
constantly attacks, or heals Mp using Starlighs when needed. Then have
Alex use Sword Dance every turn for an easy win.
4.Spark Mash
I always have trouble with this fight. Have Alex and Luna at Level 15-
16, and fully healed before u enter this fight. Spark Mash has two nasty
attacks. One that does 30-45 hp damage and may paralyze your character.
Another one does 25-35 damage to both characters. Have Luna cast cascade
song on Alex, and then heal with healing song,or tranquil song if both
characters are injured. Then have Alex cast Sword Dances until he dies.
You may die once or twice(or more), but eventually you will win.
5.False Dragonmaster,Zoc
This guy is easy. Have Luna cast Cascade Song on Alex twice. Then have
Alex use multiple Sword Dances, until this guy dies.
Have Nash, use Thunder Bomb, and Jessica attack. Have luna heal with
Tranquil Song. Level 16 is sufficient to win this fight.
6.UltraGoyles.
There are 3 of these guys and they can do about 20-30 damage with each
hit. Have Mia use her Ice spells, or use the defense raising magic. Have
nash Use his best Thunder Magic. Jessica heal with her healing spells.
7.Vile Crustacean
Follow the same pattern as with other bosses. Have Alex cast Vigor on
himself, then use Sword Dances. Have Nash Use his spells, and Mia raise
your characters defense, or if at high enough levels, have her cast
Power Drive on Alex. Have Jessica Heal.
8.Plaster Mel
Kyle fights this fight alone. Have him use power up once, and then just
use Power Slash a couple of times. Heal with items if nescesary.
9.Red Dragons(2)
Be on Level 24-25 for this fight. Since there are two of them its gonna
be pretty hard. Their regular attack does about 20-30 damage to one
character twice, and their special attack does 30-40 to all. Have
Jessica use Saint Litany the first turn, and then heal with Calm Litany
each turn. Nash Use Thunder Bomb, or Thunder Thrust and heal Mp with
starlights. Kyle and Alex should Power Up and Use Power Slash, and Sword
Dance respectively. Mia should cast Blizzard or Ice Wall.
10.Tempest
Alex fights him one on one. Even if you wanted to lose this fight it
would be hard. Tempest's attacks deal about 3 damage to Alex, so just
use normal attack, or sword dances.
11.Black Dragon
Since you have no healer, stuff your inventory with Healing Nuts, and
use them whenever your Hp's go Below 40. Use Angel Tear's to Revive dead
characters. Have Tempest use Flash Arrow, or Heal. Have Alex cast Vigor
and then use Sword Dance. Kyle should power up and use Power Slash. Nash
should cast Thunder Thrust, and Heal with items.
12.Shadow Specter
He's Pretty easy. Alex should use Vigor, and then Sword Dances. Kyle
should use Power Slash.Mia should use Power Drive on Kyle, and Alex
Twice Each, and then use Spells. Jessica should heal, and this should be
easy.
13.Magic Masher.
His regular attack does 1 damage, but his Magic attack is something to
worry about, as it does about 50 damage to a group of characters. Have
Alex use Sword Dance, and Kyle use Power Slash, while Mia casts Power
Drive on them Twice. Jessica should Heal.
14.Magic Emperor
His attacks do about 80-100 damage to all. Alex should use Sword Dance,
and Kyle should us Power Slash. Mia should cast Power Drive on them
Twice each, and then Use Ice Wall, or Blizzard. Nash should use
Thunderbolt,or ThunderShock. Jessica, as always should heal.
15.Magic Emperor. Again?
Unleash all you want on him, but eventually he does an attack that hits
everyone for about 700-800 damage.So you will have to regroup and come
back stronger.
16.Royce
She may be kind of hard, but have Alex use Sword Dance, and Kyle use
Power Slash. Mia should cast Power Drive on Alex, and Kyle twice. Nash
should use ThunderBolt, and Jessica should use Saint Litany once, and
then heal with Calm Litany.Level 43 is enough for this fight.
17.Xenobia
She is nearly impossible, unless you use the formation screen to spread
apart your characters. She has an attack that can stone your characters,
and if they are close together, its pretty much Game Over, so spread
them appart. Have Alex use Sword Dance, Kyle Use Power Slash. Mia should
cast Power Drive on them twice and then cast Ice Wall. Nash should cast
Thunder Bolt, and Jessica should cast Saint Litany once, and then heal
with Calm Litany. Be at Level 45 for this fight.
18.Magic Emperor Ghaleon
He attacks twice each turn doing about 80-100 damage with each attack.
Be at level 47 or up for this fight. Stuff your whole inventory with
Silver and Star Lights and some Angel Tears. Make sure each character
has 3-5 Silver, and StarLights, and 2-3 Angel Tears, and maybe One
Healing Nut. Have Mia Cast Power Drive On Kyle and Alex Twice. Have Alex
use Sword Dance on him, and Kyle use Power Slash on him. Nash should
heal Mp With starlights, or cast Thunderbolt on him. Jessica should cast
Saint Litany once, and then heal each turn with Calm Litany. If a
character dies revive him with an Angel Tear, or Jessica's Miracle
Litany spell. Sometimes Ghaleon summons a little orb which absorbs 1000
damage and then is destroyed.Ghaleon also has an attack that drains some
Hp back into him, and one that automatically kills a character so watch
out. This fight may take a little while, but if u keep on fighting you
should win.
Alternate Strategy for the Magic Emperor
Use the exact same strategy except instead of Jessica healing have her
attack, and have Alex cast his Dragon Healing spell each turn. Equip the
accesory that halves Mp usage on Alex. Make sure u Restore Alex's Mp
when he Needs it.
