Defeating Zolfo and the two Mecurio

Since Zolfo will not attack until both Mecurio are out, take out the Mecurio as Zolfo will use his shields.. If you use MOMO's Sleep Ether attack (to the right of life shot), it will put one of the Mecurio to sleep. When it is Zolfo's turn, he will attack his own Mecurios and reprimand them for sleeping. This should hurt them for at least 100. Attack once or guard with Ziggy. When you have the AP, attack the one that is awake (if any). Zolfo becomes quite easy when they are both gone; just heal and attack as usual.

Defeating Din Garreth

Once you have completed the Song of Nephilim and return, you can fight another version of the Ace Pilots Gear called Din Gareth. To do this, you have to kill the Ace Pilot while you have only one or less Gear in battle. Otherwise, it will just be another Meld Gareth. Din Gareth is roughly twice as hard as its counter part, giving twice as much experience and slightly higher ability points, and a Fast Circuit 25 as the rare item.

Easy money

Get the Casino Card from the Durandal's Casino (north and east of Shione's room on the Durandal). Then, play Poker. Start with 100 coins (900 bucks) and play level 1 until you get about 200. Then, move straight to level 3 until you get about 700. Then, play level 4. The way to always beat the house is as follows. Always hold a pair or any other scoring combo. After you win, always do double or nothing. If the number is greater than 7 bet low, if the number is 8 it is your choice, and if the number is 9 or above it is best to go low. After accumulating about 45000 coins, get 99 starter decks of cards and sell them for 20,000. It takes a total of two hours to make about 100,000 (and all the prizes and art.)
