-------------------------- HOW TO BEAT DEMITEL'S ARSE by cyllya -------------------------- Required Level: 13+ (Klarth can be lower) Cless Weapon: Corsica Cless Skill: Akisazame (Blade Storm) Mint Skill: Heal (or First Aid) Klarth Skill: Sylph The best weapon for Cless to have is the Corsica (if you didn't by one in Venezzia, there's one in the basement area somewhere), which has high stab and weak slash. Use that weapon, and do not use Kogahazen/Tiger Teeth. Use Akisazame/Blade Storm. I prefer letting Klarth auto-cast on Demitel's lackeys. It helps keep them out of your way. Put Cless and Klarth as far apart from each other as possible. Put Mint just to the right of Klarth, but leave a gap between them so that they don't interupt each other's spells when they get bumped around. You might consider putting a Reverse/Rebirth Doll on Cless and/or Mint, but it's not really neccessary. As soon as the battle starts, lunge for that first golem and Blade Storm it into oblivion. You'll probably take it out in one use of the skill. Do the same to the next golem, ignore the ghosts, and head for Demitel. Blade Storm him over and over and over again. Use an Orange Gummy as soon as Cless's TP gets below 30 (or 45 if you want to be extra safe). If you should get caught without TP for a few moments, do normal slashes (speed is more important than damage; don't stab) until you can start Blade Storming again. After Demitel's dead, go help Klarth kill the ghosts. They teleport around, so you might want todo jump-stabs instead of skills, but you won't be needing your TP after that battle anyway--it's up to you. Remember that you can rest for free and buy items on the ship. If you can't beat him at level 13, go up one more. Mint learns Heal at level 14, and that alone can make things a lot easier.
