Hint:
Defeating Armstrong and Mustang: Transmute the two tanks from the light poles and keep shooting at
Armstrong until he dies. Note: Switch from side to side. When Armstrong
dies. pick up the item that he drops called "Demon Fist". Then,
use whatever ammunition you have remaining to damage Mustang. Then,
transmute a Lighting Lance and have Al tackle Mustang until he goes into the
air. Then, start attacking him. When he says "Stand back", run
away. Repeat this process until he dies. Note: Consume Magic-Caps as soon as
the battle starts and give one to Al.
Hint:
Defeating Sky Chimera: When the battle begins, collect all of the Reload Treasures, then
make sure that the Sky Chimera is as close to the cannon as possible. Shoot
the Chimera with all four shots then reload. If the Chimera is down, keep
shooting and reloading. Repeat this until the Chimera is down.
Hint:
Flip over Crap Chimera: Hold Circle until your alchemy is full. Then, release the
stone spikes you have charged in front of the crap's face and it will flip
over to its back. Once on its back, your attacks are more effective.
Hint:
Water Chimera: When fighting the Ater, Earth, and Sky Chimeras, the Water
Chimera will go counterclockwise in the pools.
Hint:
Easy items: When you get the "vacuum", when it finishes sucking,
use alchemy to get a item such as Elixir.
Hint: Cowboy
Bebop reference: When you are fighting the final Bosses (Major Armstrong and
Colonel Mustang), you can hear the Cowboy Bebop ending theme music.
Glitch:
Human arm: Stand still and look closely at Ed's right arm. You can see that
his hand is the same color as his skin. Instead of his hand being the sword
(your weapon when you are unequipped), it is coming out of his sleeve.
