Introduction

Welcome to my Tales of Destiny Tower of Druaga FAQ. I've decided to write 
this FAQ because other Walkthrough/FAQs did not cover as much information on 
the tower. Sometimes I would follow exactly what they write and I can never 
get the item because of a mistake or two. So I've decided on a boring 
Saturday to create an accurate FAQ on how to obtain the many items in the 
tower. And besides who wants to read inaccurate FAQs anyway? And also this 
FAQ can be the first one to be exclusively for the tower itself. Well anyways 
onto the FAQ!


Information about the tower:

The tower of Druaga, in my opinion, is a 60-floor tower of doom! Why you say? 
Well it's home to some of the cheapest enemies in the game. The rewards for 
going through it is it's nice and powerful goodies but to obtain them is 
easier said than done. Each level is the same but has a different layout. 
Each floor has a treasure and to obtain it you must solve a puzzle associated 
with each floor that was the same from Namco's original game, Tower of 
Druaga. It may be simple or it may be very complex but the goodies are well 
worth it. To reach the next floor you must obtain the key of the level and go 
straight through the door. Easy, right? It would be if there weren't any 
enemies around to make your life miserable. 


How/where to get into the tower:

To get into the tower you must first find three rods: The RC, GC, BC rods. 

       The RC rod is inside the Swordian Lab. The lab is located northeast of 
Armeida. The chest with the rod is near where the tombstone.

       The GC rod is in Cloudius. It is located in one the teleporters in the 
left side of floor 4. Once you get inside Cloudius you MUST obtain the rod 
before it is too late because later in the game you won't have a chance to go 
back.

       The BC rod in Walt's house in Harmetz. The BC rod is called 'Old Cane' 
but you need to use a rune bottle or Philia's Identify ability to turn it 
into the rod. 
       
       The tower is located in the area of Janos (that snow town in the 
beginning of the game). Remember that temple where you met Mary with Rutee? 
That's where the tower is. If you don't, exit Janos through the north way and 
go to the right on the fork that you come across to. Keep running until you 
come across a save point. Save your game here because the tower isn't going 
to be an easy walk in the park. Once you have done that run north into the 
temple. Once inside run up until you come across three altars. Place the 
three rods on them to open up the entrance. Once open, step inside and meet 
your doom!


Preparations:

This is the hardest dungeon in the game so you might want to come in prepared 
for what lies ahead of you.

1. Have a FULL supply of every Gel, Life Bottle, P. Bottle, etc...
2. Be at least level 55 with more or less 6000HP.
3. Have Stahn equipped with the Phoenix skill.
4. Have a non-elemental weapon for Stahn (Bahamut's Tear recommended).
5. Have the best equipment you can find.
6. If your bringing Philia along have her equipped with the Mystic Symbol so 
she cast her spells quicker.
7. Bring Chelsea along because her bow skills come in very handy especially 
her Force Arrow.

These things are vital to your survival. These alone have helped me tackle 
the tower and will probably help you too ^_^.

Enemy List:

This a somewhat complete enemy for the tower.


Green Slime
HP 2908
TP  400 
 
These guys are easy to defeat just whack away!


Black Slime
HP 3228
TP  500

A higher-level slime but still same old slime.


Blue Knight
HP 3400
TP    0

A low level knight. Not tough to beat.


Mage
HP 2410
TP  420

You want to know why you need the Phoenix skill? It's because of guys like 
him. These guys cast Cyclone continuously, which can pretty much mess up your 
party. As soon as battle starts have Stahn thrust into a mage then 
IMMEDIATELY do Phoenix. It should kill a few of them and interrupt their 
spells. 


Sorcerer
HP 2728
TP  520

Use same tactics as above but these guys like to cast Explode.


Black Knight
HP 3728
TP    0

Higher level of the Blue Knight. Not very tough to deal with.


Red Slime
HP 3548
TP  600

Higher level of Slime but this time these guys like to cast fire magic.


Mage Ghost
HP 2508
TP  500

Same as a Mage with slightly higher HP and TP.


Druid
HP 3048
TP  620

Use same tactics as if fighting a Mage. These guys like to cast Holy Wrath.


Blue Slime
HP 3868
TP  700

Higher level of slime. These guys like using freeze magic.


Druid Ghost
HP 2868
TP  620

Same as Druid, use mage tactics to have an easier time to beat them.


Wizard
HP 3368
TP  720

As always use the same Mage tactics on these guys. They like casting Air 
Slash if I remember correctly.


Quox
HP 4568
TP    0 

Now your probably thinking...why do I need a non-elemental weapon for Stahn? 
Well it's because of this guy and a couple of other enemies. He absorbs all 
elements and can only be beaten by non-elemental weapons. Bahamut's Tear is 
the non-elemental weapon of choice for Stahn. If you so happened to run into 
him without equipping a non-elemental weapon then during battle quickly equip 
the kick attack skill on Stahn and repeatedly use it against him.


Mirror Knight
HP 4568
TP    0

A higher-level knight. Only difference is that they have more HP and have a 
higher attack power.


W. Ghost
HP 3148
TP  720

Like always use the Mage tactic on them because they show no mercy.


Will O' Wisp
HP 4000
TP  500

These guys nothing but they do cast some nasty spells.


Hyper Knight
HP 4368
TP    0

Same ole' knight. Like always they just have an increase in attack power and 
HP.


Green Roper
HP 4048
TP  600

These guys are nothing until they get hold of you. Once they have you in 
their clutches they pound away on you like there's no tomorrow. If Stahn 
happens to be paralyzed quickly recover him and immediately use Phoenix to 
get out of this situation.


DG Slime
HP 4188
TP  800

Same ole' slime. Only difference is a higher attack power and HP.


Silver Dragon
HP 4888
TP    0

I call him the brother of Quox. He has higher HP and is immune to Dymlos. 
Equip Stahn with Bahamut's Tear if you want to lay waste on him.


Red Roper
HP 4368
TP  700

Just like a green roper but has a higher attack power. Don't get TOO close to 
them.


Red Knight
HP 5108
TP    0

The highest knight class. They have a much higher attack power and HP values 
then other knights.


Lizard Man
HP 4688
TP    0

These guys absorb fire damage so Dymlos is a no-no. If you happen to have 
Dymlos equipped have Rutee or Philia cast any water type spell. 


DY Slime
HP 4608
TP  900

The highest slime class. These guys have higher attack and HP values than 
normal slimes.


Blue Roper
HP 4688
TP  800

These guys are badass if you're caught in their clutches. They have a higher 
attack value than normal ropers. So don't get caught!


False Ishtar
HP 15,000
TP    850

She's not a worthy opponent to fight near the end of the tower. The only 
problem you'll have with her is if she petrifies you with her charm.


I'll try to get Druaga's info on the next version once I get past floor 58. 
If only I knew the accurate way of obtaining the GC Rod.
