| Sorry to make a separate thread for this, but I doubted anyone else would still be reading that thread, especially for an edit, and I figure this forum could use some new activity anyway so... I've been playing Tales of Symphonia for awhile, and I've become stuck at the Coliseum in Meltokio. None of my characters seem to be able to solo it out alone. I read a walkthrough that suggested to use Zelos by healing intermittently, but that did not work very well for me so far. Does anyone have any suggestions, i.e. characters, equipment, etc? I've tried Lloyd, Presea, Regal, and Zelos. Lloyd is the only one who has lasted with any decency, and only when I equipped him with the defenser, the guardian symbol, and the+20 def gem (sapphire?) (I ended up with 27+ def, but around 850~ish attack), I can usually take out the duelist and the sorceress but I'm usually very much out of HP and die to the other duelist. Does anyone have any suggestions? So far I've just been giving up and going to fight the dragon in the Temple of Earth to level up, Lloyd is 59, Zelos is 57 and Presea is down at 55. Any suggestions? What should I do?  |

| You should wait until you can collect all the Devil Arms. Using them, I've been able to beat the arena in solo with every character except Genis. If you can't, then I suggest having good stuff to cook (to use them after every arena battle), use and Lloyd and block/run/jump/whatever. Lloyd is easily the best at dodging, make good use of his skills. If you have alot of TP, use any incarnation of Tempest to avoid being hit. Guardian is gonna be useless, so don't bother using it. If you can go in Flanoir, then go buy the amulet that gives +30% HP (or so). Also, most enemies will not be able to counterattack, so use that to your advantage (only the last enemy in the final level will not stagger). Other than that, you should combo alot (have an Ex-Gem - Level 3 to give you an additional slash). "Slash -> Slash -> Slash -> Demon Fang (or the powerful incarnation, don't remember the name) -> Sword Rain: Alpha / Beta" is your best friend here. Sorry, I don't remember the names well, because I haven't played in awhile (and I don't own the game. Only play sometimes) (edited by DarkSlaya on 10-28-05 10:23 AM) |

| So far, I have evil eye, nebilim, fafnir, soul eater, and destroyer? (the kendama), I don't believe I have any others yet. I guess I'll consult a guide on where to find the rest. I really wanted to try to get through most of the game without using walkthroughs or anything else, but I guess it's too late for that. EDIT: Hilariously, hours after I posted this message, I went home, and beat the whole game. D: (edited by Thayer on 10-31-05 09:39 AM) |

| In the event that the coliseum is still giving you problems, I've got a couple suggestions to give: :: Buy as many items as you can hold that are required to make Miso Stew. If, however, you don't have that recipe, it's found in Dirk's House. That's all I can say  The items required to cook it (including extras) are Miso, Kelp, Egg, Radish, Konjac, Meats, Red Satay, and Potato. Make sure to fill up all the stars for that recipe for whichever character you intend to battle with. That's done by fighting a battle, then cooking that recipe once you're done.:: As DarkSlaya said, buy two Black Onyxes in Flanoir. If I remember right though, you get one of those from a boss battle earlier in the game, so you may only have to buy one. If I remember right, the effects stack, so your max. HP will increase by 60% instead of 30. Equip them if you feel your character doesn't have enough health, but don't unequip other accessories until you're sure you don't need whatever benefits they give you. :: If you plan on fighting with a magic user (Genis, Raine, Zelos, and possibly Colette and Sheena), make sure to equip the Faerie Ring (from the fight with Forcystus), and also think about using the Mystic Symbol. The latter reduces the time required to cast a spell, and the Faerie Ring cuts your TP consumption in half. Then it's a somewhat simple matter of finding a safe spot during battle that will keep you away from the enemy long enough to give you a chance to cast a spell. :: Equipment-wise, use the best you can get, as should be obvious. The Devil's Arms work quite well for some characters (Lloyd and Presea come to mind), but don't rely on them and nothing else. I found it easier to beat solo mode with Genis when I had the One World equipped as opposed to the Disaster. I shouldn't have to mention this next bit, but if you want to use the Devil's Arms, then make sure you've beaten Abyssion first  Those points aside, the only other thing to do is keep practicing at it. Experimenting with different combos could very well give you an idea as to what Techs you can use to get away from enemy attacks, or which do the most damage depending on what you're fighting. If all else fails, you can always start a new game on Easy, and just wait until you reach the coliseum then to work through it. Either way, good luck  |
