----------------------------------------------------------------------------Breath of Fire 2 Handbook
written by Ben Siron
Maintained by James Greene
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Breath of Fire 2 (henceforth BoF2) is a classic-style RPG for the SNES,
produced by Capcom. I am in no way associated with Capcom. This handbook is
free and not intended for sale. All that I ask is that you do not remove
these opening paragraphs if you are providing it to others.
Unfortunately, it is my duty to inform you that Ben Siron has ceased
writing FAQs, as well as abandoned video games. Please do not contact him,
as he is no longer involved with this FAQ in anyway. He has given me control
of his FAQs. If you wish to use this FAQ, feel free to contact me. If you
explain what you want it for, chances are that I will let you use it. You
can contact me, James Greene, at sabin_2002@yahoo.com
This handbook is a text file approximately 7000 lines long, designed to
be read in a fixed-width font capable of displaying at least 78 characters per
line. This is the third edition, last updated May 12, 2001. Now I have a
thank-you list, better character information (includes level-up gains), more

discoveries, and less errors all around.
Thanks go to:
(irwin.51@postbox.acs.ohio-state.edu)
Jim Irwin - for the detailed township tenant listing. This
speeded up my search a lot - and enabled me to make a
slightly more comprehensive listing.
(kerris@nucleus.com)
Rory Mahood - for finding the elusive StarrSD and Octopus items, and
for greatly expanding my list of battle award items.
(arcadia@crl.com)
Arcadia, Esq. (Rocky Kassos)
(duchess-29@hotmail.com)
(mattlambo@juno.com)
Matt Lambo - for listings of items which are battle awards.
(ragnarok@sci.fi)
Ragnarok (Heikki Ruuska) - for the secrets file which helped me a lot
the first time I played BoF2, and gave me lots of things to
check while compiling this handbook.
(asanchez@Texas.net)
Andrew Sanchez - for finding Pechiri.
(mokona@logicworld.com.au)
for the info about Akky's kittens and about the
fact that nothing happens if you clear both tolen boards with
only 8 tolens.
(nathanm@znet.net.au)
Nathan McDonald - for finding the NinjaML item.
(dm3@tca.net)
Stephen O'Neal - for finding the use of the SkullBR item.
(Epametheus@aol.com)
Ed, also 'Phoenix' - for finding the Zodiac enemy and with it, the
9-TailWP.
No thanks go to:
Ray Greer - and the team responsible for the carelessly inaccurate,
incomplete, and generally clueless 'Breath of Fire II:
Authorized Game Secrets' guide. I can't believe that Capcom
endorsed this. I can only guess that it is because Capcom in
America doesn't know a whole lot about the work that Capcom's
programmers in Japan do, or they don't care. Nothing in this
handbook has been stolen from Mr.Greer's book, I am proud to
say.

-=-=-=========================- Notation -==========================-=throughout this handbook, I use the following mathematical notation:
[x]
the greatest integer less than or equal to x. This arises because

all division operations done by the game console's uP unit round down
automatically
(a..b) a number between a and b, including the possibility of being a or b

x = (a..b)
choose a number for x randomly from the given range
(a,b,c,d)
x = {a,b,c,d}
a number chosen as one from amongst this set of numbers

choose a number from the given set randomly and assign to x
other abbreviations:

all other notation is explained in the section in which it is introduced.

Just be patient and read the full 'Welcome to the Party' section...
-=-=-==========================-
Bugs!
-==========================-=-
BoF2 has it's own small set of bugs. Nothing major, just minor annoyances.
I call these bugs because I can't see why the programmers would have intended
these things to be these ways:
FireBrth, ColdBrth, FireDrgn, IceDrgn, and T.Drgn do NOT deal elemental
damage as their names would suggest.
The DmndBR does NOT prevent the Death spell from working. The authorized
game secrets guide for BoF2 says that it does, but I have tested this out
thoroughly on my copy of BoF2 and found it to be false. Only the LifeBR
prevents Death.
The GutsBT does NOT result in any increase in the Guts rating of a character.
The Angel Shaman, Seny, gives no standard bonus.
There are plenty of equipment items giving resistance to holy damage, but
none to give resistance to wind damage. This is to be contrasted with the
fact that the opposition never makes any holy attacks, but makes plenty of
wind attacks.
When you try to 'Swch' a priceless item at an equipment shop, the game
crashes.
The FastShoe gives no bonus to the probability of getting a lead-off attack,
despite the description of the item (maybe this was just a translation
error...).
The Mckrl item 'looks tasty', but has no effect when used.
Weapons are not capable of dealing wind elemental damage, despite their names.
The Agi.Up combat condition has no effect.
The Cond.Up item only raises bCond to 225, not 255. This could be a typo by
the developers, or it could be intentional, I'm not sure. My guess is that
nobody caught it because Cond. shows 'Super' either way, and the role of
the bCond stat is an enigma.
One more thing - for those of you who want to test that my algorithms really
are accurate to the point (which I assert they are), be sure to consult
Appendix A for conversion between % factors and binary fractions. BoF2
speeds up all of its calculations by using division by powers of 2 (shift
operations) instead of normal division whenever possible. This is done via a
precalculated conversion table between % factors and fractions using 256 in
the denominator. Needless to say, this conversion sacrifices precision, and
for a while it caused me a lot of frustation when I was trying to figure out
what was really going on in the calculations. Appendix A lists the
appropriate fraction to use for a given percent factor. All of my algorithms
use percent factors whenever possible in place of these unwieldy fractions to
make the math look as simple as it should be.
-=-=-=================-
Welcome to the Party
-====================-=-
This section introduces the basic system that BoF2 uses for characters,
combat, items, spells, and so forth...
- - - - - - - - - - Basic Party Mechanics - - - - - - - - - Your party is composed of the band of adventurers which from which you can
choose to take along with you on your quest. Those currently being taken
along are your party members, and they form your group. You may have between
1 and 4 party members. At some points in the story, you are compelled to use
certain characters as party members, and in many places, characters leave
your party altogether. But fear not - in the end they will all (except for
the child) return to help you fulfill your destiny.
by default (that is to say, except in a few special cases), you will be
compelled to use the hero as a party member. The hero's name is whatever you
choose to call him, so I just refer to him as 'the hero'. All other
characters' names are unalterable, so far as I know, so I call them by name.
All names are four characters or less, and in most cases the game assumes a
name to be exactly four characters. So, if you're going to name your hero
'Ed', be prepared to see some dorky formatting of text. To avoid this,
choose something with exactly 4 characters instead, like 'Eddy'.
There are two versions of the hero, and for all intents and purposes they
are separate characters. One is the child who you play during the prologue,
and the other hero is the one you play throughout the rest of the quest.
They have the same name and stats that match perfectly, but otherwise they
are completely different.
I have chosen the following 1-letter abbreviation scheme for party members:
H - Hero
R - Rand
J - Jean
C
B
N
S
Child
Bow
Nina
Spar
K - Katt
T - Sten
U - Bleu
At this point, you might be saying to yourself, "Jus' wait a cotton pickin'
minute... I thought there were only 8 characters!" (besides the child).
Refer to my HTML map - there's a location in the east you probably haven't
noticed before, and one potential TownShip citizen you haven't invited who
can help you.
Whenever a party member leaves your party, you are compelled to form a new
adventuring group. You may also change party members by choice by using the
'Change' command at any dragon god totem. This option is available only when
you have more than 4 characters in your party, and is also disallowed during
certain scenarios. To help you make the choice of who to take, whenever you
change party members, you are presented with a table of mHP/mAP/level/
Off/Def/Vigor values to compare all the characters. To toggle between
mHP/mAP and Off/Def/Vigor, just press 'L' or 'R'. Whenever you choose to
change party members, you must take the maximum number possible. This is
either 4 or the total number of characters in your party, whichever is less.
As you shall see from the algorithm for awarding EXP from combat, there is
really no reason you would ever want to travel with less than the maximum
number of party members possible - more is better.
After changing party members, you may also change formation and combat order.
There are two separate ordering schemes for party members: the walking order
and the combat order. The walking order determines who is in the lead while
walking around on the map. The combat order determines position in combat who is closest to the enemy and hence is taking the most risk.
These two orders can be changed independently. The walking order can be
changed outside of combat without affecting the combat order by pressing 'L'
or 'R'. This causes the order to cycle forward or in reverse. The combat
order can be changed via the main command screen: use Swch, then Order.
Whenever the combat order is changed, the new combat order becomes the
walking order. All combat order changes are done by a series of position
flips: character A and character B exchange position. Whenever the game
requires a given character to be in the lead, that character's position is
flipped with the one currently in the lead. The walking order is also
overwritten by the combat order whenever you load a saved game.
The combat formation is independent of both the walking order and combat
order. It can be changed in and outside of combat with the 'Swch' option.
The role of position and formation is explained if the 'Damage algorithms'
section - it modifies damage dealt and taken from physical attacks. For
every extra party member in your group, the number of formations you can do
increases by one:

something new and not be stuck with the consequences. To save to another
slot, you must copy the data in one slot to another and then you may play
each separately. Thus, to experiment, you must save and copy often, or
know beforehand when to do so, so that you will have a fairly recent copy
with which you can experiment. BoF2 is pretty bug-free; there doesn't
seem to be anything that can go wrong that will screw around with your
saved data (unlike the 'Relm sketch' bug in FF3). Only you can do that....
As for items - they are held in two inventories, a 'Spcls' list, and
equipment lists which are personal to each character. The equipment lists
exist whether the character is in your party or not, but you may only
access the equipment of party members.
The stuff in 'Spcls' can't be used, moved, dropped, destroyed, sold,
consumed, worn, eaten, abused, switched, appraised, or anything else
for being looked at. For all practical purposes they are not really

game.
party and the bank inventory. The party

into each slot may be placed either one single
same type of a groupable item. Single items are
characters, and groupable items may have up to 6.
The bank inventory is much bigger - it has 126 slots. Items can be shuffled
back and forth between the party inventory and the bank inventory at no cost,
but ONLY at bank outlets (no exceptions). Bank outlets are typically next to
item shops.
The party inventory is accessible at all times and is independent of who is
in your party. This scheme has the potential to produce nonsensical
situations, but luckily, BoF2's plot does not have to explain a situation in
which your party members change without everyone in the party meeting up in
a common area. So, unlike FF3(6j) (Final Fantasy III (VI), also for the SNES),
this
is a plausible model. (You don't have a situation in which character A buys
a Herb and then the game switches to character B, who strangely enough has
the Herb available to use in his inventory even though A and B haven't met
since the time A bought the Herb).
Items may also be kept in the equipment slots personal to each character.
These slots are specialized:
1
1
1
1
2
weapon
armor \
helmet >
shield /
etc.
slot(s)
Movement in and out of these slots is restricted (you can't wear an Herb as a
helmet - sorry, it's just not that kind of game :) ). A slot can BEGIN by
being filled with an item that doesn't belong there, but once you remove it,
you can't ever move it back. This turns out to be even a bigger restriction
than it first seems to be, because the white space item (the code for a slot
which is empty) is not a valid piece of equipment, except for the etc. slots.
So, once a non-etc. slot is occupied, it can never be made empty again. In
other words, you can't unequip things in BoF2, except for the stuff in the
etc. slots. You may only replace an item with another, and the character
must be able to equip the new item in that slot. This is made easy outside
of combat because you are only shown the set of items which can replace the
current one. In combat, it is a little more of a pain. You CAN change

equipment in battle, but only the non-etc. stuff. To do this, use Item,
and select the piece of equipment. If the character can wear it, you will
be able to 'Use' or 'Eqp' instead of just being able to 'Use' it.
What is in these equipment slots is not affected by the process of the
character leaving and joining the party. If character A leaves, he takes the
items in these slots with him, and when he returns, he will be wearing
exactly the same stuff that he had when he left.
This brings me to using items. The method is different for combat vs.
non-combat situations, since in combat you are giving orders about what the
party members are going to do in the following round, without necessarily
knowing the order in which actions are going to be taken. All items produce
the same effect in or outside of battle, except that some effects are only of
benefit in certain situations - what varies is whether the item may be used
in a given situation, not the effect that it has.
Outside of combat, if use of an item will produce no effect, BoF2 will not
let you use it. This is as opposed to combat, where there is no such
restriction (BoF2 lets you go ahead, knowing that by the time the character
takes an action, the item's effect might be useful - or it may not - there is
no way to tell ahead of time). When you give an order for an ally to use an
item, it is seemingly removed from the inventory. It is still there, but
you can't see it. The item does not actually get removed until the
character uses it, and only if it is a 'consumable' item (in this way, items
are not wasted, but in the sense that they may be used for no effect,
they are).
Finally, if your inventory is full, you will not be able to buy new items or
unequip etc. type equipment. If you find an item but your inventory is full,
you will be told what item was found but you will not be able to take it. It
will remain there until to try to obtain it when your inventory is no longer
full (except in the case of food placed on the carpenter's table in TownShip,
which disappears). Also, if your inventory is full, you can't win items in
battle.
Your party has 2 money reserves - a party supply, and a bank reserve. The
party supply can hold a maximum of 9,999,999 Z (coins). The bank can hold up
to 16,777,215 Z. Coins can be moved between these two reserves at no cost,
but only at bank outlets. Only money in the party supply can be used to make
purchases or be reduced / increased as part of the plot. The bank reserve is
secure - nothing can affect your money in the bank except for you making
withdrawals and deposits.
This brings me to the subject of losing. when all party members are either
dead or zombies, you have lost. When you lose, your party money is halved
(just like the old Dragon Warrior games) and you are sent back to the last
place you saved your game at. Everything else remains the same: you keep all
the EXP, items, spells, etc., that you had just before you died. When you
wake, all party members are restored to mHP and mAP (no restoration for the
other characters in your party). The state of the world also remains the
same; items you removed from treasure chests remain removed (so that you
can't come by and obtain them again). There is a point of strategy to be
noted here - if you know you're going to lose, don't waste your items in a
vain attempt to save yourself for a few more rounds (unless you're also
going to reset the game and start over from a previously saved version).
Just keep the stuff, die, get a little more pumped up, and come back to kick
some ass (hmm... just like the energizer bunny).
Another thing that stays constant when you lose is the moods of all of the
characters. All characters have moods which scale from 0 (black) to 63
(rainbow). The lower the mood, the more that character desires to purge the
world of your presence. 255(rainbow) means that you're their bestest buddy
in the whole world. The hero's dragon tear is orange only because this is
how he feels about himself. A hero should be humble, above all.
A character's mood is visible when the dragon tear is applied to the
character's profile. The correspondence between color of the tear and
mood is:

If you save, do an action which makes a character more friendly to you, die,
and repeat that action again, you can apply to bonus again to the character's
mood - which still remembers the previous bonus! I haven't yet found a use
for this however, since I haven't been able to measure any benefit that a
perfect (rainbow color) or worst case (black) dragon tear confers. The value
of the dragon tear seems to be only for storytelling. Also, a character's
mood is often initialized to take a certain value during the game, which
totally erases the effects any cheesy things you have done to change it.
BoF2 will not let you create a situation in which all party members are dead
outside of combat. This is assured because in any instance in which you
change party members composing your group, all dead characters are revived to
1 HP (although this does nothing for AP).
There are some exceptions to being sent back to the last placed you saved at:

** means that this battle is one you are expected to lose, you do not get
sent anywhere necessarily - losing is part of the plot.
To go further, I will need to explain:
- - - - - - - - - - Basic Combat Mechanics - - - - - - - - - You can't win BoF2 without fighting - A LOT. All situations in BoF2 can be
divided into combat and non-combat. Combat can be entered in two ways:
You are walking about some place that has monsters, you take a step, and
suddenly you're face to face with a bunch of dudes you never met before.
This doesn't mean they don't want to kill you however (duh!!). This is
called random battle.
or: Your party leader visibly interacts with an enemy figure and battle is
triggered through contact, proximity, or as part of the story. This results
in a battle to the death. 'To the death' means that the battle must be
played out to its conclusion - you can't Run, or make the enemy Runaway. In
battles to the death, many actions that would normally succeed will always
fail. For example, you can't do anything that would cause lethal damage to
an enemy or deal it any fraction of its maximum hit points worth of damage,
either. All actions which are so limited are noted on a case by case basis
with an explanation of the action. The opposition, however, is not limited
in this way, and may use any and all actions for their normal effects (rest
assured that they won't be using their actions to Runaway!).
There are several concepts I've been talking and will talk about more that
deserve immediate explanation:
-
Combatants
Rounds of combat
Opposition
Party members
Run
Runaway
Actions
Enemies
Allies
Lead-off round
Combatants are all of the characters participating in a combat. Combat in

BoF2 is played in rounds. Before each round, each combatant chooses an
action for that round, order of action is resolved, and when the time comes,
each combatant performs the action chosen. Combat then proceeds to the next
round. Opposition refers to the guys in the upper left of the combat screen.
Party members are in the lower right corner. 'Enemy' and 'ally' refers not
really to a classification, but a relationship between two combatants. If
both combatants are in the same corner, they are allies. If they are in
opposite corners, they are enemies. Combat is cut short (action stops) if at
any time:
0) All opposition has Runaway.
1) All opposition has either died or Runaway, with at
least one of them dead.
2) All party members are either dead or zombies.

3) The party has successfully Run.
Case 0: They chickened out ('The monster fled.'). Combat ends immediately.
Case 1: You win. The objective of all battles. You receive a money and EXP
reward, and an item if you're lucky (items can be won
randomly in both battles to the death and random battles).
Case 2: You lose. Sometimes this is fate, but these cases are few and far
between, and not one such case is a random battle.
Case 3: You chickened out. Or, you were just too bored to fight the battle.
No guts, no glory, no penalties. Just like case 0.
Runaway is an action used only by the opposition. Run is not an action - it
takes the place of all action for a round. When you Run, a roll is made to
check for success. If so, combat ends immediately and your party is safe.
If not, the opposition gets a lead-off round on you! Run always fails in
battles to the death - you will get the message, 'Can't run'. In random
battles, failure to run gives the message, 'Won't Run'.
In a lead-off round, one side gets a free round of actions while the other
side sits there and looks pathetic. Whenever random battle is triggered, a
random(?) roll is made to see if you can get a 'lead-off attack'. If so, the
party members get a lead-off round on the opposition. The opposition has no
such luck (except when you've failed to Run). There are no 'lead-off
attacks' in battles to the death.
The order of action in a round of combat is totally determined by the Vigor
ratings of the combatants at the beginning of the round. Enemies' Vigor
ratings are determined differently than party members' Vigor (since enemies
don't wear equipment). In random battles, an enemy's Vigor is chosen at the
beginning of the generation of the enemy to be Agi + (0..7), to a maximum to
511. For battles to the death, Vigor = Agi (no random variation).
(For your information, this special case for battles to the death was a hack
imposed so that cinematic battles like the Palo/Peach/Puti fight would be
sequenced properly.)
The order is a sorting of Vigor ratings: the combatant with highest Vigor
goes first, followed by the next highest, down to the lowest. When two
characters have the same Vigor, the following priority scheme is used:
1st: Party member
2nd: Party member
3rd: Party member
4th: Party member
Last: Opposition
in
in
in
in
front
2nd position
3rd position
back
So we see that in BoF2, order of actions is independent of what the action is

- it doesn't take any more time, so to speak, to cast Missile, than it does
to attack. There are a few exceptions to this, such as 'Defense' and 'Dare',
which forfeit the party member's action in return for bonuses throughout the
round. We also see that all opposition is in principle able to be preempted
if Vigor is high enough. However, to take an action before opposition with
Agi of 511, it is necessary that you also have Vigor of 511. And this
means, as we shall see later, that the party member's armor must have a
weight of 0.
The method by which random battle is triggered in fairly straightforward, but

first I must take yet another digression and explain:
- - - - - - - - - - Basic Mapping Mechanics - - - - - - - - There are two different flavors of non-combat overhead view in BoF2: the
overworld, and the area. Both views use the same graphics, but the
overworld is a heck of a lot bigger. There are no battles to the death on
the overworld. The overworld also 'wraps-around'. If you move off the edge
of the world, you come back on the opposite side (the view conceals the fact
that there is any break. You can take this to mean:
1) The world of BoF2 has the topology of a doughnut.
2) BoF2's universe has an 'above' and a 'below', and the
surface of the world separates the two. Some kind of
funky spacewarp links the opposite edges of this surface
together like an endless reflection.

3) Just try not to think about it too hard.
I recommend 3. Most RPG players choose 3. 3 is a good number. Mmmm,

doughnut... Excuse me, what was I saying? Ah yes, the question is, why do
you care?
The answer is, mapping determines the type of enemies you will fight in
random battles. Both the overworld and area views are composed of tiles.
Each tile is 8x8 pixels. 4 tiles combine in square formation to make a map
spot, 16x16 pixels. All movement in BoF2 is done on the spot level - that is
to say, each step move you a distance of one spot (as opposed to Chrono
Trigger, also for the SNES, where movement is done on the tile level in
overworlds, and on the pixel level in areas). The main overworld of BoF2 is
the world's surface. It is 256 spots wide by 256 spots tall.
Now apply a coordinate system to the spots - since the world wraps around, it
is difficult to say exactly where the edges are, but a good guess is that at
the edges, there's nothing but water for miles around. Now notice that there
regions where the monsters you're fighting are fairly constant and places
where you take one step, and the monster types change. You've just found a
map section boundary. A map section is a region of the map where the
monsters capable of being generated for random battle does not vary. Find
several such boundaries and note that all map sections seem to be composed of
blocks 16 spots tall by 16 spots wide. Coincidence? (I think not.) Redefine
'map section' to be one of these blocks. Note that the entire overworld is
composed of these blocks. Redefine your coordinate system to reflect this.
This is the coordinate system I have come up with:
[letter][number](x,y).
Letter and number determines the map

section, and (x,y) determines the
spot within that map section
Following the computer graphics standard, X-coordinates increase as you move

down, and Y-coordinates increase as you move right. The first map section
is A0 in the upper left, with spot A0(0,0) in the upper left of that upper
left. The last map section is P15 in lower right, with P15(15,15) in the
lower right of that lower right section. I have drawn an HTML format map,
accurate to the tile(!), of BoF2's main overworld. Refer to it often - it
helps a lot, IMHO. This map is color coded:
Spot color...

Pink(boundary)
The imaginary boundary between
different types of map section
The colors in the above table also give information about terrain type.
Terrain for a spot on the overworld map is the background you see when you
fight a random battle on that spot. This terrain is chosen from one of
several types. For example, battles fought on grass randomly result in
either dirt plains or lakeside terrain, and battles in the forest randomly
result in either a dense or sparse forest terrain. Terrain throughout
an area is constant. There are several types of overworld terrain:
name
color on map
how to recognize
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Dirt plains
Green or
Area is sparsely covered in grass.
yellow
Where there is no grass, the ground
is cracked and dry.
Lakeside
Green or
Area is covered in grass, and is near
yellow
the edge of a lake.
Sparse forest Dark green
Open area in the midst of a forest
which is lined with tall narrow
trees.
Dense forest
Dark green
Like the sparse forest, except trees
are fat and rounded, and there's
lots of shrubbery and flowers.
Desert
Green
It's all sand and cactus plants.
There are also a lot of different area terrains:
Name
How to recognize
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Dense forest
Same as the overworld version
Cave
A well-lit cave with walls of dirt
Underground lake
A cave with a lake inside of it
Waterfalls
A cliffside passage with a waterfall
Mountain pass
A ledge on the side of a mountain
...
Terrain is important for spells that deal damage and the special action
'Ntre'. When the description of a spell lists 'native terrains', this means
that if the spell is cast in that type of terrain, it is more likely to be
'well-cast' (refer to 'Damage algorithms' for an explanation of this). If
the spell is well-cast in such an area, you will see extra graphics in the
casting of the spell.
Another useful map you can access while on the overworld you can get by
pressing 'Select'. This will show you all the places you have visited so far.
The map section concept doesn't apply to areas - each area is a map section
in itself, so to speak. Monsters don't vary from one end of an area to the
other. They, CAN vary however, between floors of a given location - this is
because a location (such as a town, for example), is not an area, but a
collection of areas linked appropriately to fit together logically to behave
like a maze, or town, or whatever. By the way, a location refers to the
place name that the main command screen tells you you're in. Where this
name is a blank, I have made up place names, and put the name in parenthesis.
The second thing that is constant throughout a map section is monster
activity. See that little guy at the top of the main command screen? That's
the monster meter. He has the following states:
Asleep: Figure is sleeping.
Normal: Monster moves slowly and has sleepy eyes.
Active: Eyes are wide open and the figure moves a wee bit faster.
Wired: This little guy is really agitated.
The monster level determines how many steps you will be able to take between
random battles. A couple of pieces of etc. equipment can modify this, as can
casting Smoke. At a given point in the game, monster level throughout a map
section may be constant, but monster level for a given section can change as
the game proceeds. Because of this, I won't list monster level vs. map
section, just the enemies which can be found there.
This seems to be the mechanism by which BoF2 determines when you will fight a
random battle:
- Whenever you enter or return from battle to an area or the overworld map,
generate a 'fight counter' value randomly (with minimum and maximum
values dependent on the monster level, and modifications due to
equipment and Smoke).
- For each step that you take, decrement the fight counter by a constant.
This constant is also a function of the monster level of the step you
are moving to, equipment you are wearing, and Smoke.
- If decrementing the fight counter causes it to drop below 0, a random
battle is triggered after reaching the new spot.
This fight counter algorithm type seems to used often in RPGs, though it is
not the only method which is used.
The pieces of equipment which can affect rate of random battle generation are
the HolySF and the Collar. When Smoke is cast, the smoke condition it
applied to the party for a short while, during which time the monster meter
is blue. Refer to the description of the Smoke spell for more details. With
smoke off, and neither the HolySF nor the Collar equipped by anyone in the
party, initial fight counter values are generated and decremented in the
following way:
Monster level
Fight counter
Decrement per step
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Asleep or Normal
Active
Wired
20 + (0..255)
32 + (0..255)
60 + (0..255)
5
7
15
This results in the following statistics:

MonsterMeter
# of steps between battles
Average
-------------------------------------------------------------------------Asleep
Infinite
Infinite
Normal
(5..56)
30
Active
(5..42)
23
Wired
(5..22)
13
(Assuming that you do all your walking without leaving an area or moving
between map sections of different monster level.)
This algorithm is not exact. Every so often, you will be able to walk an
incredibly large number of steps without fighting a random battle. I am
at a loss to explain this.
The smoke condition significantly decreases the rate at which you fight
random battles, but I am not sure exactly how. The HolySF also decreases
the rate significantly in regions where the monster level is normal, but
doesn't do much in more active regions.
The Collar measurably increases the rate at which you fight random battles at
all monster levels (excepting asleep, of course). Once again, I am not sure
of the exact mechanism by which this is done.
The third thing that the map section concept is useful for is fishing. Each
map section either one or no FishSpots in it. To trigger a FishSpot, you
need to leave a battle (by running from it or winning it) from the same map
section that the FishSpot is in. In one case, this makes it pretty darn
counter-intuitive as to where you need to be get the fish to show up. More
on this in the Fishin' & Huntin section....
Note: Even though it is impossible to fight a random battle in asleep
regions, it is still possible to fight a battle to the death in an asleep
region (Huntsvil!). I haven't found any ultra-secret FishSpots by doing this
yet, though.

While I'm on the subject I will present the monster mapping for all of the
areas of BoF2; all random enemies and those which can be fought in battles
to the death, listed by location. There are many areas for each location,
but in most places, the monster variety is the same across all of the
areas. In places where the variety differs across different area in the
same place, I will explain further. Note that many places are accessible
only during certain times during the game, as are enemies fought in
battles to the death. Where this is the case, I will note when the
location is accessible. Locations are listed alphabetically by place
name. Enemies which can be fought only a finite number of times (usually
once) in battles to the death have a '*'. Enemies which can be fought an
unlimited number of times in battles to the death (Huntsvil, for example)
have a '^'. I don't bother to list monster level - it is either active
or wired in all cases where there is activity, and it changes often
throughout a given location.
* - The enemies in this location are all fought in random battles, but you
may only fight a finite number of these random battles. This
because after 2 encounters in a 'region', the areas in this 'region'
lose all monster activity. A 'region' is composed of the adjacent
heart chambers where the flow of blood is the same. An encounter
counts as any enemy engagement, whether they run away, you win, or
you run away.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - Statistics - - - - - - - - - - - With a basic understanding of mapping and combat laid down, I will now talk
about statistics - those numbers you see in the Stats window.
Stats determine the effectiveness of actions and commands used in combat, and
the rewards of combat. And that is ALL that they do (in BoF2, anyway).
Stats are only indirectly of value outside of combat, in that the better your
stats, the better your chances of winning subsequent battles and making it
back to a safe area in one piece, thus affecting your decision of whether to
proceed or turn back.
There are three types of statistics: basic, derived, and health.
Some stats a party member has contribute to determining what the character's
other stats are, and are themselves not affected by changing of any other
stat. These are the basic stats:
Str, Stmna, mHP, bmAP, Agi, bWis, bLuck, Guts, (Cond.?), EXP
Basic stats can only increase during the course of a game, usually only
during a leveling up (except for EXP), while derived stats are constantly
changing; they are recalculated whenever they are needed.
mHP - maximum Hit Points. This can be in the range of (1..999), and
is the maximum number of HP that a player can have.
bmAP - basic maximum Ability Points. This is not the ability point
number you see in the Stats window, mAP, because mAP gets a
bonus from some shaman bondings. Therefore, mAP would be a
derived stat, derived from bmAP and shaman bonuses. bmAP is
a basic stat. bmAP can be in the range of (0..511).
Str - Strength. The basis of offensive power. This can be in the
range of (0..255).
Stmna - Stamina. The basis of defensive power. This can be in the
range of (0..255).
Agi - Agility. The basis of vigor, which determine the order of
action in a round of combat. This can be in the range on
(0..511).
bWis - Basic wisdom. The basis of defense from spells that deal
damage and a factor in the probabilities that some spells
will succeed.
bLuck - Basic luck. The luck stat you see in the Stats window is
not bLuck, but is derived from it. Luck's role I have not
exactly determined, but I suppose that a lot of rolls are
based on it. bLuck can be in the range of (0..255).
Guts - The basis of rolls for defying death. this is a number from
(0..255). What you see in the Stats window is not this
number, but instead anywhere from 0 to 7 fires. The number of
fires is derived from Guts as [Guts/32].
EXP - Total experience points collected throughout the entire game - a
running total of all the EXP point awards a party member has
ever gotten. This can be in the range of (0..9,999,999).
Before I go any further, I should explain what I mean by 'a roll'. I borrow
the terminology from pen & paper role playing games where a roll of the dice
determines the success or failure of an action. A luck-based roll means that
the roll of the dice is compared to the Luck stat to determine success or
failure - improving that stat can improve your chances of success. A random
roll is a roll that is compared to a constant - nothing you do can improve
your chances of success.
The Guts stat is useful in that whenever a party member takes damage that
would result in death, a roll is made to see if that party member can defy
death (as long as that party member hasn't defied death once before in the
current battle). The roll is based on the Guts of the character:
The character defies death if:
(1..4) = 1 (25% chance of success)

and (0.255) < Guts (0 .. ~100% chance of success)
When a character defies death, restore rHP to [mHP/8], and the character's
action for that round is not interrupted. From this, we see that the
probability of defying death can range from a minimum of 0% to a max of 25%.
This is definitely not something you should be depending on to pull you
through a battle. The GutsBT may affect this probability somewhat, but if it
does, the effect is not something I have been able to measure. The bonus is
probably too small to be of any use, if there is any at all. Guts is also of
much more direct use to the hero, because it determines the effectiveness of
his special action, 'Guts'. Note that zombies and the opposition may not
defy death.
Derived stats are stats which are completely determined by basic stats and
other bonuses. They change whenever any of the things that contribute to
them change, because they have no permanent existence - they are calculated
on the fly whenever they are needed. This operation is completely
transparent to the player. Just the same, it is useful to think of derived
stats as true stats, for purposes of simplification. The derived stats are:
Off, Def, Vigor, Wis, Luck, LV, and mAP
The ways in which these stats are derived from the basic stats are:
Off = [ Str + (weapon power) + (shaman offense bonus) +
(other equipment bonuses) ],
*2 if character has the Pwr.Up or rotting condition (combat
only)
Off can be in the range of (0..511), and determines
the strength of physical attacks.
Def = [ Stmna + (armor + shield + helmet power) + (shaman defense
bonus) + (other equipment bonuses) ]
/2 if character has the Def.Dn condition (combat only)
* 120% if character has the Def.Up condition
(combat only)
Def can be in the range of (0..511), and determines how much
damage is taken from physical attacks.
Vigor = [ Agi + (shaman vigor bonus) + (other equipment bonuses) ],
to a maximum to 511, - (armor weight),
/2 character has Agi.Dn (combat only)
Vigor can be in the range of (0..511). Note that since armor
weight is subtracted after the upper limit is imposed, in
order to get a Vigor rating of exactly 511, the character
will need to be wearing armor with a weight of 0.
Wis = [bWis + (shaman wisdom bonus) + (other equipment bonuses) ],
*2 if character has the Wis.Up condition (combat only)
Wis can be in the range of (0..255), and helps reduce damage

taken from spell attacks.
Luck = [bLuck + (other equipment bonuses)]
Luck can be in the range of (0..255), and affects the
probabilities of many different kinds of rolls. For example,
Luck is a factor in determining the random component in
normal attack damage.
mAP = [bmAP + (shaman mAP bonus)]
mAP can be in the range of (0..511), and is the maximum
number of AP that the party member can have.
LV = ...Refer to the EXP tables for each character to read off how
level is a function of EXP. LV can be in the range of
(1..99). LV is a factor in how much EXP is awarded from
winning a battle.
I have referred to 'conditions' in battle a lot without defining what they
are, so I will digress and explain what conditions are. A condition is
something affecting a character's abilities, either in or outside of battle.
A character either has a condition or not - there are no levels of severity
for given condition. The conditions that apply to battle are:
Poison
Zombie
Def.Up
Hushed
Asleep
Dead
Def.Dn
Wis.Up
Curse
Pwr.Up
Agi.Up
Rotting
Pwr.Dn
Agi.Dn
A detailed analysis of conditions and how they affect combat is presented in

the 'Conditions' section....
Health stats are basically everything other than basic and derived stats they are basic in the sense that they are not functions of any other stat,
but they are also always changing for worse or for better. The health stats
are:
rHP - remaining Hit Points - how many hit points the party member
currently has. This is constrained at all times to be in the
range of (0..mHP). When a party member reaches rHP = 0, that
party member is dead. When a party member's rHP < [mHP/4],
the character adopts a stooping posture in battle. The hit
point bars that you see in battle are roughly linear in
(rHP/mHP), thus indicating the fraction of mHP that the
combatant currently has remaining.
rAP - remaining Ability Points - how many ability points the party
member currently has. AP is used to cast spells. When
rAP < (AP required to cast a spell), the spell may not be
cast. The dragon spells' costs are an exception - they
always have AP cost = rAP, but may not be cast when rAP = 0.
bCond - basic Condition. The Cond. stat you see is derived from
this and a penalty if you are cursed. Basic condition can
range from (0..255). If [bCond/64] = x, condition is y:
0
1
Poor
OK
2
3
Good
Super
If your character is cursed, Cond. shows 'Ill', no matter

what bCond is. bCond changes occasionally for no discernable
reason. Using Cond.Up can raise bCond to 225. (Does it also
the curse condition?)
Mood - This is represented by the color of the dragon tear in the
stats window. Mood can range between 0 and 255. The
correspondence between level and color was noted in the
opening part of the first section. As for the characters'
moods in your party, the only role that mood seems to play is
one of plot. When you do something to anger your friends,
their mood drops, and when you make them happy, it rises.
Special case: Derived health stat:
Cond. - This is the Cond. stat you see in the stats window. Normally
it equals bCond., but when you are cursed it reads 'Ill'
instead. Cond. also ranges between one of Ill, Poor, OK,
Good, and Super. Cond. is a factor in probabilities, much
like Luck. For example, the chances of being able to
CtrAttck and Dodge are condition based rolls. There may be
other instances where condition plays a role, but I have not
found them (nor have I been looking too hard for them...).
Note that I have defined rHP and rAP as something other than HP and AP. When
I refer to HP and AP, I am talking about relative amounts of hit points or
ability points (such as HP lost or gained from healing or damage), as opposed
to how much a character has remaining.
The simplest way to replenish health stats to their highest number is to
rest. This can be done at inns (for a price), or at beds or fountains (for
free). When you rest, all party members are freed of all conditions (even
death), and are restored to rHP = mHP and rAP = mAP (there's nothing that a
good night's sleep won't cure). Rest does not have any affect on the Cond.
stat, however. Rest also moves forward the time of day to be 7 AM (the start
of the new day), except when you rest by using a fountain. Time for another
digression....
Another thing about the overworld is that it goes through day/night cycles.
Time keeps on slippin' into the future. This is important only in that
certain areas are open and certain people show up only during either daytime
nighttime. A day/night cycle lasts 125 seconds of real time on the overworld
map - meaning each hour lasts about 5 seconds. Time is only advanced for the
purposes day/night when you are on the overworld, not accessing the command
screen or some other window, and you not in combat. All other real time
counters are advanced continuously no matter what you are doing.

Daytime is considered to be day and evening, and nighttime is considered to

be night and morning.
The opposition also has statistics to describe its combat abilities. Most
stats are interpreted the same way, but some are different:
mHP, rHP - All opposition, upon first being generated, begins with
rHP = mHP. These stats mean exactly the same thing as they
do with party members, except that the opposition can't
defy death, or be revived from death under any
circumstances.
mAP, rAP - All opposition also begins with rAP = mAP. AP works
exactly the same way with the opposition as with party
members. However, note that most special actions the
opposition uses aren't spells, and thus have no AP cost.
Also, the opposition may cast a spell even without
having enough AP - and does so quite often (hah!, we
don't need no stinking intelligence!). This also results in
the opposition losing all of its rAP in the effort to cast
the spell!
Def, Wis - Works in exactly the same way as with party members,
but rolls based on Wis are done differently with the
opposition.
Ms
Magic susceptibility. Actually, this is derived from

Wis as Ms = 4 - [Wis/32], but I find that Ms is a
convienent shorthand for guessing probabilities of
success for certain Wis - based rolls, and normal
spell damage vs. the opposition. Plus, I can measure
Ms directly, as compared to Wis, which I can't measure
directly.
Off
Similar to the offense statistic for party members, but

damage from physical attacks from the opposition is
computed differently than for party members. Since I
haven't figured this algorithm out yet, I haven't been
able to measure this stat.
Agi, Vigor - Since the opposition doesn't wear equipment, Vigor

is computed differently for them, but Agi works the same
way. This was described 'Basic Combat Mechanics', in the
part about how order of action is resolved for a round.
The gains in basic stats for the party members are not interrelated: although
you may notice that party members with higher Stmna tend to gain more mHP per
level up, there is no dependence of this mHP gain on Stmna. The bonuses were
just fudged to look like that. It is a similar situation for Wis and mAP.
In the code for BoF2, there is a huge table for all of the 9 characters
that can level up that lists the gains for each of the basic stats at each of
the 98 level ups. These gains are additions of a number (0..15). Here, I
present these gains, and the experience required to reach every 5th level.
Although these tables look huge, they probably take up no more than 8k of
memory altogether.
When you begin the game of BoF2, each party member has a set of initial
stats, equipment worn, and spells known. Spells which can be learned by
leveling up are also listed. Each character also has a 'special action'
which they can use. These actions are usually only available in unbonded
form - the transforms have different special actions. The effects of all
actions are described in the 'Action!' section. Guts refers only to the
numbers of fires next to the Guts rating (equal to [Guts/32]), and not Guts
itself, since I did not have a convenient way to measure this in the early
part of the game. Levels at which spells are gained are only approximate actual levels may vary by +/-1 from listed value. This variation does not
seem to be due to any Wisdom prerequisite for learning of spells. The 10
party members are:

The Hero is above average in all stats except for AP. This is not a
problem, since he'll be spellcasting dragon attacks most of the time.
The Hero has the highest guts rating, which complements his 'Guts'
self-healing action. His attack power is usually the strongest of all
characters because of the weaponry he can use, and since he can CtrAttck
he's a good candidate to put in the lead. He is the slowest to gain
levels, but since he's almost always a party member, he usually has the
highest level anyway. The Hero can't bond to shamans. The Hero is the
only character who can fish or equip fishing supplies.

End total: Bow LV 99

345/249 148 101 133 180 89
Bow knows healing. He is quick to gain levels. He can use the AutoBW
and TwinBW, which attack multiple enemies. In the 'Iron Man'
transform, he can also Spry to hit all enemies (which makes using the
AutoBW obsolete). His Shot attack rarely works since it is Luck
based(?). Bow's a good buddy to have around in prolonged battles where
quick and massive healing between rounds and increased defense is needed.

Katt is the quickest to gain levels, and the most agile character, not
counting Bleu. She has a very high Guts rating. Considering that she
has the worst physical and magical defense, she isn't very survivable,
and apparently not too smart either, because she likes to 'Dare'
opponents into hitting her. These massive handicaps aside, she is still
quite useful for her ability to hit hard, hit first, and CtrAttck if
necessary. Katt bonds well to the Devil Shaman, and in her Devil Katt
transform, she has the capability to make the most damaging physical
attacks of any character.

Rand is a tough guy. Not counting Bleu, he has the highest strength,
stamina, and HP. For this reason, he is a good choice to put in the
lead. He is also the slowest character, and not very lucky. The armor
and weaponry he can use is of poor enough quality to make up for his
impressive stats. Rand knows a lot of healing, and can transport the
party on the overworld map long distances (avoiding random monsters) by
rolling. His 'Wake' action is useful from time to time to revive
characters, and he bonds well to the Earth Shaman.

End total: Nina LV 99

297/362 86 80 140 227 173
Nina uses black magic (to complement her black wings). If you take her
along, most of the time she won't be doing anything useful, but with her
high agility and strong spells, she can do preemptive magic strikes when
you need her to. Nina is the least survivable character, with the worst
mHP, and pretty bad defense. With her 'Will' ability, she has
practically limitless AP, so don't hold back on the spellcasting. Nina
bonds well to the Wind Shaman.

Sten is strong and fast like Katt, but less so, and with a little more
defense. He is most useful for his 'Djinni' transform which can use Sweh
to select a new batch of random enemies, and this transform is available
fairly early. Unfortunately, most of the places that require Sten will
require him in his unbonded form, so that he can use his long arms to
reach across gaps. The 'Rip' action is not very useful, since if Sten
appears dead, the character in back is likely to receive a big can o
whoop-ass. Fire is his major, with a minor in wind power. As you would
expect, he bonds well to the Fire Shaman.

Jean is very lucky - and very random in character and skills. If you
need to throw around some holy power, he's your frog. Other than that,
and hopping about on the overworld map, you probably won't be using him
too much. Jean has good defense, but is correspondingly very slow. If
he were faster, his 'Chop' special action might actually be useful.

Spar is very wise, and has lots of HP and AP, just like a tree should.
Other than that however, he's very unimpressive. Kind of like Jean, he
has a random assortment of spells, except that he has more of them and
more useful ones. He has the most transforms of any character, but the
only one worth using regularly is seed, for its 'Bud' special action (but
only if you can also cast Atk-Up on him).

Bleu lives up to her legend. Supernatural in strength, she is first in

EVERYTHING except Guts, in which she rates dead last. Her only flaw is
that she cannot bond. If you can find her, you'll never need Nina for
her combat abilities again, since Bleu is just like Nina, except so much
stronger. Her 'Shed' ability and high agility means that she can last
indefinitely, like the Hero does with his 'Guts' ability.
As we see, all of the characters pretty much reach their maximum ability at
level 50 (except Nina and Bleu). Gains seem somewhat random up to level 70,
but are miniscule, and gains beyond level 70 are miniscule AND boring. Bleu
is the lone exception here. She makes incredible gains straight up to level
99, maxing out everything except mHP and Guts. Still, it's not worth the
trouble getting to level 99 - level 50 is good enough. If you want to raise
your characters' stats to maximum, it is far easier to do so by means of
cooking permanent attribute raising items, such as MisoSoup. The only stats
you can't raise in this way are mHP and mAP. So please - I have been to
level 99, and I can tell you that it isn't worth it.
All of the above characters can level up by gaining experience. EXP is won
in battle by summing up the EXP point values of all enemies defeated.
Enemies which run away don't count, and neither do enemies defeated before
the last time you used the 'Sweh' action (refer to the description of Sweh in
'Action!' for more details). Let this sum be the XP_award. Each party
member not dead or a zombie at the end of the battle wins experience equal to
XP_award times a factor which is function of the difference between that
character's LV and the hero's LV. Let Gap = (LV of the hero) - (LV of the
party member).
Let steps = [Gap/5]
If steps = ... , then bonus factor =

This accelerates the growth of weaker characters to balance the strength of

the party. It can be thought of a model in which the less experienced
characters learn more from watching someone more experienced defeat monsters.
And it makes the simplification the more experienced person is assumed to be
the hero (which is correct, most of the time). In BoF1, there was an
additional factor which was dependent on the # of rounds it took you to win.
No such multiplier exists here.
The experience point gain that you see listed in the victory window is not
XP_award, but is the sum of all the experience won by each member of your
party. It is for this reason that this number is roughly proportional to the
number of party members and varies slightly as some of them level up. In
practice, XP_award is limited to no more than 32730 (for defeating 3
K.Sludges at 156%), and no less than 1 (for 1 E.Sludge).
All characters can have no more than 9999999 XP. If a character gains
experience while already at this limit, the sum of awards that is shown
remains unchanged, and we do:
if XP > 9999999, XP = 9999999
Note that since total experience won is proportional to the number of
characters in your group, you're cheating yourself out of valuable experience
and making your trip unnecessarily difficult if you travel with anything less
than the maximum allowed number of party members.
-=-=-========================-
Action!
-==========================-=-
This section presents the effects of all actions available to the opposition
and party members (except for item use, which is covered in 'Items'), as well
as who uses it, and in the case of spells, when the spell is learned. I also
include spells which have strictly non-combat effects in this list. When an
action lacks a name, I give it a name in parenthesis to show that this is
what I have named it. First I will begin by listing the things that you can
do in combat which are NOT actions:
- Changing equipment - When you change a party member's equipment, you have
not specified an action - the equipment change takes place between
rounds. You may still give that party member an action for the
upcoming round, even backtrack to change the intended action of party
members further towards the front, and the character's equipment will
remain changed.
- Swch - When you use change the formation (press 'L'), the change also takes
place between rounds, no action necessary. Note that you may not do
anything to change the combat order while in combat.
- Run - As noted in basic combat mechanics, this order takes the place of all
action. Once you issue this command, it is immediately attempted.
Run is always successful on a lead-off attack, but otherwise its
success is a roll based on the Vigor ratings of the opposition as
compared to the party members' Vigor ratings (independent of the

action they had planned for this round!). This roll has a moderate
chance of failure even when the Vigor ratings of the opposition are
pitifully low.
- Auto - Like running away, this command takes the place of all action. Once
you select it, it is immediately executed. Auto turns on automatic
battle. While this is on, all party members attack as their action,
and do so on all subsequent rounds (you are not prompted to give any
commands between rounds). Automatic battle may be turned off at any
time by pressing 'B'. This will allow you to give commands as normal
for the upcoming rounds.
CtrAttck - This is not an action, because it only happens in response to the
Atc. action; commands may not be given to CtrAttck and are not
necessary to do so. Because of this, this ability is described as
part of the Atc. action, although there is a separate entry to list
who has this combat ability.
Other than these things, everything you can tell a party member to do in
combat is an action.
When the opposition or a zombie uses an action that targets a single party
member, the target is chosen in the following way (neither Collar nor DmndBR
affect this):
First determine the number of party members (dead ones and zombies count too)
Then, make a random roll to see who is the target:
2 party members:
Target
Chance of being chosen
----------------------------------------------------1st
11/16
2nd
5/16
3 party members:
Target
----------------------------------------------------1st
9/16
2nd
5/16
3rd
2/16
4 party members:
Target
----------------------------------------------------1st
8/16
2nd
5/16
3rd
2/16
4th
1/16
These probabilities are independent of which formation you use, but they can
change drastically if some of your party members are dead. This is because:
if the target the opposition chooses is not valid, the attack targets the
LAST party member in the combat order instead. If that one is not valid, it
attacks the next to last party member, and so on right back up to the lead
character. The result is that if anybody dies, the guy in the back - the one
you put there probably because he's got a pathetic Def rating - is going to
take a lot more hits than normal - maybe as many as half of them or more.
And that spells instant disaster. Note that 'Dare' and 'RIP' can also change
how targets are chosen.

For actions which are spells that deal damage, normal spell damage refers to
damage computed using the base power of the spell. Special damage and normal
spell damage is computed differently the normal physical attack damage in
that position is not important and the effects of Defense are different.
Because of this, these two damage types are computed using the
SpecialDamage() function. Dragon spell damage is another type of damage
which is computed using the DragonDamage() function. Normal physical attacks
deal damage using either the AttackByOpposition() or AttackByPartyMember()
functions. All other kinds of damage are noted by the word 'exactly' or
'lethal' in the description of the damage dealt by the action. These kinds
of damage are undefendable, as is dragon spell damage, and some special
damage.
All actions which are spells have the casting cost following the name, with
'Nc' indicating non-combat use only, 'Cb' for combat only, and '//' for both.
Since transforms retain the ability to cast all spells that the unbonded
character could cast, I don't list transforms in the 'Used by' part of the
description for a spell. A '**' in the 'Used by' list means that the spell
can be taught to one party member as part of the story, and a name with a
'**' means that the spell may one be taught to one specific party member.
Note that if a character learns a spell which is already in that character's
spell list, the list is not changed. It can be done, but there is no bonus
to teaching a character a spell twice.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------8.0:14 (Cb) Normal spell damage of 70 to all enemies (except flying enemies,
which receive exactly 0 damage - neither Nina nor the queen of angels
transform counts as a flying creature for the purposes of this
spell). Native terrains: dirt fields, caves.
Used by: Rand(LV24), A.Sludge, G.Shaker, Ganga, Mamot
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Ag-Down:5 (Cb) Gives one enemy the Agi.Dn condition. Probability of success
is a roll based on the magic susceptibility of the opposition, whether
it is the target or the caster.
Used by: Nina(LV9), Spar, Babaruku, Bleu, Guardian, Stooly
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Ag-Up:4 (Cb) Gives one ally the Agi.Up condition. However, this condition
has no effect.
Used by: Spar, Bleu, Pima
----------------------------------------------------------------------------(amnesia) - All enemies will forget (1..3) of the spells from their spell
list, counting from the last spell they remember backwards. For the
rest of the battle these forgotten spells may not be cast. This has
no permanent effect. This doesn't prevent spells already chosen at
the beginning of the round from being cast successfully.
Used by: Aruhamel
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Anfini:0 (Cb) There exists only one point in the game where this may be used.
Used by: Hero (**) (learned in Infinity)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Angel:12 (Cb) Attempts to deal lethal damage to all spirit and undead
enemies ( = rHP of target). Doesn't work in battles to the death(?)
Success rate is a roll based on magic susceptibility of the target.
Used by: Nina(LV26), Jean(LV30)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Atc.
Makes a normal physical attack against any combatant - even an ally.
An attack by opposition or a zombie always targets a party member.
If attacker is opposition, roll to see if a 'Miss' has occurred. If
so, don't deal any damage. Seems to be a function of real bad
monster stats (atlas and corpse have missed me occasionally).
If target is party member, and is not asleep, make a Cond.-based roll
to see if the target can 'Dodge' the attack. If so, deal no damage.
Otherwise, compute the damage dealt to the target.
If the attacker is opposition (or a zombie(?)),
damage = AttackByOpposition( )
If the attacker is a party member,
damage = AttackByPartyMember( )
If the target has the ability to CtrAttck, the target is still alive,
and the attacker was an enemy, make a Cond.-based roll to see if a
CtrAttck may be done (if the target was just woken up by the
attack). If so, the target counterattacks the attacker for normal
attack damage, except, this attack is NOT elemental in nature. A
CtrAttck may even be done when the defender is not taking any action
for this round (such as a lead-off attack).
Used by: All combatants, unless otherwise noted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Atk-Up:6 (Cb) Gives one ally the Pwr.Up condition.
Used by: Bleu, Spar(LV36), C.Bear, Cyclops, Dadelous, G.Lizard,
Ganet, Kimoto, Soldier, Titong
----------------------------------------------------------------------------(attack all) Makes a normal physical attack to all enemies. Enemies may not
CtrAttck this action, and hits may not be special or toasted.
Used by: Bow(this replaces Atc. if he's equipping the AutoBW),
Barubary(x)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Backup Roll to see if another ally of the same type can be summoned. These
summoned enemies count towards the award just as the initial ones do.
Used by: Hood
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Bnsh
Attempts to make all remaining enemies Runaway. On failure, none of
them Runaway. On success, all of them Runaway. This does not work
in battles to the death. After using Bnsh, you may still receive an
award for the other enemies that you defeated in that battle.
Used by: 'Queen of Angels' transform

damage to all enemies.
Used by: Deathevn (2)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Brainwav - Causes target to make a normal physical attack against one of its
allies. This interrupts the target's action if the target has not
already taken its action for this round.
Used by: Terapin
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Bud
Seed goes berserk! At the cost of forfeiting one turn to charge up,
Seed attacks uncontrollably (you can't even choose the target) for
normal physical damage on the next 4 rounds at 2x offensive power
(Off may even be above 511 in this way!). Hits made while budded may
also do special and/or toasted damage. Truly frightening in
combination with the Pwr.Up condition!
Used by: 'Seed' transform
----------------------------------------------------------------------------BuildUp - Forfeit this turn to make an attack the next turn with Pwr doubled?
Used by: Beetle, Darious, G.Idol, Pollen, Sniphead, Venusfly
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Chop
Forfeits a round and attempts to kill all enemies outright on the
next round by dealing them all lethal damage (even though the attack
may appear to deal only 999 damage points, the attack actually deals
well in excess of that much). Doesn't work in battles to the death.
Used by: 'Sir Mackerel' transform
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Chopchop:0 (Cb) Deals 50 + (0..31) points of undefendable special damage to
one enemy.
Used by: ** (can be learned at WildCat if you're polite & have good
manners), Wildcat

Used by: Nina, Spar, M.Mummy, Pharaoh

NOT an ice attack).
Used by: Algernon, Barubary(x), Deathevn(2), Gallop, S.Idol

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Curse Gives one enemy the curse condition, and it always works (unless the
enemy is immune to curse).
Used by: E.Dragon, H.Fly, Hellion, Lyverma
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Dare
Forfeits Katt's action for this round. All opposition doing actions
targeted at single party members this round make a Wis - based roll.
For each enemy that fails this roll, Katt becomes the target of their
action instead. All damage Katt takes this round is multiplied by a
factor of 226/256. Katt can CtrAttck as normal, but gets no
bonuses for doing so.
Used by: Katt
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Death:8 (Cb) Attempts to deal lethal damage (= rHP of target) to one enemy.
Doesn't work on spirit or undead enemies or in battles to the death.
When cast by a party member, success is determined by a roll based on
the Wis of the target. When cast by the opposition, success rate is
a roll based on the Wis of the caster. As a rule of thumb, Death
always works on enemies with Ms +3 or +4, occasionally works on
enemies with Ms -2, and doesn't work at all on Ms -3 enemies. When
cast by Ms -3 enemies, it always works - except where the target is
immune to Death.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Def.

as failure unless all allies already have Def.Up.
Used by: Bow(LV26), Spar(LV32), Atlas, D.Crsdr, Needle, Paladin
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Defense - Forfeits action for this round in exchange for taking reduced
damage from defendable attacks. The exact effect of this action is
described in the 'Combat algorithms' section. While Defense is valid
for party members throughout the entire round, it is only valid for
the opposition after it is used in a given round.
Used by: All combatants(?), unless otherwise noted

stolen is exactly 30% of enemy's rAP, to a maximum limit of 30 AP.
Probability of success is a roll based on magic susceptibility of the
opposition, whether it is the target or the caster.
Used by: Nina(LV17), Spar(LV22), Bleu, Babaruku, D.Spirit, Soulflik,
Zombie
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Eggbetr - Makes two consecutive normal physical attacks against a target:
make the first attack. If attacker dies from a CtrAttck from the
defender, stop. Otherwise, check to see if the target is still
alive. If not, choose a new target. Make the second attack.

special damage to all enemies.
Used by: Ray
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Exit:8 Teleports the group outside of the location they are currently in,
back to the location's entrance on the overworld. Actually, for each
location there exists an 'exit point' which may or may not be the
entrance, but usually is. Beware: some locations do not have an 'exit
point'. In these locations, you will not be able to cast Exit, so
prepare yourself by checking this ahead of time!
Used by: Nina(LV12), Spar(LV18), Bleu
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Explode - Deals all enemies exactly [(target's rHP)/2] points of damage, to a
minimum of 1 HP of damage.

Used by: Hero(**)
This spell is learned the Hero is exposed to the (etherstorm)
attack.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------(get up:X) - Similar to defying death, but not exactly. Whenever this enemy
takes lethal damage, it makes a random roll with a success of (X)% to
see if it can resist death and be restored to a random fraction of
its mHP between 1/4 and 1/2 (?). So, this action may be done a
potentially unlimited number of times, while defying death is limited
to once per battle only.
Used by: Roach

----------------------------------------------------------------------------(god's power) - Steals HP equal to exactly [rHP*3/8] from each enemy (to a
maximum of 60 HP), and AP equal to exactly [rAP/4] (to a maximum of
20 AP) from each living enemy. All HP stolen is added to Deathevn's
rHP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Guts
A self-healing action available to the hero. HP restored is an
exact fraction of mHP, and a function of rHP and the number of fires

of mHP, immediately end this round of combat and move to the next
round.
Used by: GoldFly(2), Kuwadora
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Jab
Attacks all enemies for normal physical damage at a penalty of 30 to
Off per enemy beyond the first. Damage for each enemy is computed
separately. A Jab is non-elemental, and may not be a special or a
toasted hit, even if the weapon Jean is using allows it. Putting
aside these limitations, 'Jab' to one enemy is equivalent to 'Atc.'
Used by: Jean
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Keep
Forfeit a turn to attack an enemy next turn with a substantially
increased Off value. When you give the command to 'Keep', you select
the target on the first turn. On the next turn, Devil Katt makes a
normal physical attack against that enemy (or a new one if that one
is now dead) with attacker's offense multiplied by one of:
{200%, 237%, 274%, 300%}
The offense value computed in this way may be greater than 511,
unlike all other attacks! (except Bud) Keep attacks may not be
special or toasted hits. This algorithm explains NEARLY all of the
damage values I have seen, but not ALL of them - there exist perhaps
other multipliers which can be chosen, though they are not chosen
often.
Used by: 'Devil Katt' transform

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Miss
This action starts off by looking like an attack, but does not hit
any target.
Used by: Atlas, Bugbear, Corpse, Ghoul

Used by: **, **, **, **, Sten(LV38), Bleu(LV38), Nina(LV57), Babaruku
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Normal physical attack - see 'Atc.'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Ntre
This produces a different effect for each type of terrain, but the
effect is independent of time of day. Ntre may be used an unlimited
number of times in all terrains, though there is a small chance that
each use might fail and do nothing instead.
Terrain
Effect
------------------------------------------------------------------Lakeside
Flowers bloom - once used successfully in a given
battle, all subsequent uses will fail. This results
in the Def values of all opposition being halved.
This effect may be compounded with the Def.Dn
condition, but unlike Def.Dn, the probability of
success of this action isn't dependent of the magic
susceptibility of the opposition!
Dense forest
A tree tumbles over all enemies, dealing them

all 176 + (0..15) points of undefendable,
non-elemental special damage.
Desert
Cacti explode, dealing 88 + (0..7) points of

undefendable, non-elemental special damage to all
enemies. Despite the seeming absence of cactus
plants after using this, this can also be used an
unlimited number of times.
All other outside terrains - All allies are healed by exactly 32 HP.
Is this dependent on Spar's stats?
Any terrain not out in the open - Failure
Used by: Spar, 'Spindragon' transform

Poison that target at the same time.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Renew:10 (//) Works only 70% of the time, and only revives one dead ally to
HP = [MHP/4], with no effect on a living or zombie character.
Used by: **, Bow(LV20), Rand(LV27), Jean(LV34)
Ray teaches this to you instead of Cure 2 if you save more than 4
villagers in the DryWell
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Renew X:20 (//) Returns one ally to life with rHP = mHP. Only works on dead
party members (not zombies).
Used by: Bow(LV36)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------RIP
Sten makes a regular attack, but plays dead for the rest of the
round. His Def is lowered to 5/8 (62.5%) during this round, but
each member of the opposition must pass a Wis-based roll or be fooled
into thinking Sten is already dead. On failure, if Sten is not the
only surviving party member, a target will be chosen based on the
assumption that Sten is dead. But beware! - as stated before, this
usually means that the guy in back is going to be taking a lot more
hits! (Is this really what you want?)
Used by: Sten

'Run'.

opposition, whether it is the caster or target.

effect of this action is wasted.
Used by: Augus
----------------------------------------------------------------------------(shake) - Same as (attack all).
Used by: Terapin
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Shed
You don't get to be 2000 years old without taking REALLY good care
of yourself. Bleu can use 'Shed' to cast Cure 4, followed by Heal
on herself an unlimited number of times. And unlike Guts, it
always works (at least it does when Wis = 255... check for failure
at lower Wis...). But there is one catch - when Bleu sheds, she
acquires the Def.Dn condition.
Used by: Bleu
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Shield:6 (Cb) Gives one ally the Wis.Up condition. May be cast multiple
times without notice of failure, but extra use confers no extra
benefit.
Used by: Spar(LV30), D.Crsdr, Needle, Paladin
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Shimmy Same as (attack all).
Used by: Kuwadora
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Shot
Attempts to deal an enemy lethal damage (= rHP of the target). This
does not work in battles to the death. It can deal lethal damage to
enemies with more than 999 HP, but only 999 points of damage will be
shown. On a failure, Shot merely deals 1 point of damage.
Used by: Bow
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Smoke:6 (Nc) Gives you a little extra breathing space between random
battles, by changing the way in which the fight counter is generated
and how it is decremented. Turning smoke on does not reset the fight
counter. Smoke may only be cast in a place where the monster level
is not asleep. To indicate that smoke is on, your monster meter
figure will turn blue. Smoke is not turned off until you take 64
steps in an area or on a map section where the monster level is not
asleep, regardless of how many times you enter battle, or whether you
move between areas. You may not cast smoke while it is already on.
When rolling, each step you roll counts as a step for the smoke
count, as does each spot you swim, and each hop you make while on the
frog. What about flying on the great bird? (Check this.)
Used by: Hero(LV19)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Spark:4 (Cb) Normal spell damage of fire:25 to one enemy.
Used by: Nina, Sten, Docaden, Jailer, M.Golem, M.Mummy, Nimufu,

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Spor
Makes a random roll to see it there is a headwind. If not, SwtBrth
is used on the opposition. But if there is a headwind, SwtBrth is
used instead on the party members.
Used by: 'Lil Mushroom' transform
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Spry
Iron Man attacks all enemies for normal physical attack damage.
Damage is computed independently for each enemy hit. Unlike 'Jab',
there is no penalty for enemies hit beyond the first one. Spry would
be in all cases superior to Iron Man's normal physical attack, except
that it can't do special or toasted hits (elemental damage?).
Used by: 'Iron Man' transform
----------------------------------------------------------------------------(steal) Make a normal physical attack and also steal the same of number coins
from the party's money supply as number of points dealt in damage.
CtrAttck may not be used in response to this, and hits from this
attack may not be special.
Used by: Trout
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Sweh
Advances combat to the next round, interrupting all further action
planned for that round. All conditions placed on party members
remain in effect - characters rotting from the start of the round
will become zombies. This action does not work in battles to the
death. In random battles, a new set of enemies with full health
are chosen to replace the current enemies, using the standard
algorithm to generate random enemies. Enemies defeated before
Sweh was used will not count towards the experience and money award
for the battle.
Used by: 'Djinni' transform
----------------------------------------------------------------------------SwtBrth - Attempts individually to put each enemy to Sleep. Success rate
seems to be a random roll(?).

Attacks one party member for normal physical damage, thus having the
side-effect of waking that character up if they were asleep. This
is not the main use of this action, however. If you target a dead
party member with Wake, there is a chance that that character will be
revived to 1 HP. On a failure, nothing will happen. Wake attacks
cannot be special or toasted hits.

Conditions
-=======================-=-
This section describes the effects of all conditions that can be applied to
party members and opposition, in and out of combat. As stated earlier, the
combat conditions are:
Poison
Zombie
Def.Up
Hushed
Asleep
Dead
Def.Dn
Wis.Up
Curse
Pwr.Up
Agi.Up
Rotting
Pwr.Dn
Agi.Dn
Of all these conditions, only Poison, Death, and Curse persist outside of
combat. A party member with zombie at the end of a combat becomes dead. All
other conditions completely disappear with no ill effects after a battle.
For the opposition, the poison, zombie, rotting, and curse conditions have no
meaning. Death is different in that dead opposition can't be revived under
any circumstances. Being asleep is also slightly different in that the
opposition can break out of sleep spontaneously, while party members cannot.
All other conditions work exactly the same way.
In combat, a few conditions afflicting party members are visible in the
status area of the combat menu. When healthy, this shows a party member's
LV. Otherwise it can show Sleep, Curse, Poison, and zombie.
Any number of conditions may be combined at once, except zombie and death,
which exclude all other conditions. When a party member dies or becomes a
zombie, all other conditions are removed.
Agi.Dn - The target's Vigor is halved for the remainder of the combat. This
affects the order in which action is resolved on rounds where the
target had Agi.Dn from the beginning of the round.
Agi.Up - If this is supposed to give a bonus to Vigor, it doesn't work. As
far as I can tell, this condition has absolutely no effect.
Asleep - When a target falls asleep, its current action is interrupted and
the combatant may not take any further actions while asleep.
Sleeping opposition does not move. Sleeping party members have z's
drifting overhead, and a z's in the status area. Sleep in opposition
has a small chance of dissipating each round (seems to be based on
Wis), and is not removed by being the target of an attack. Sleep in
party members does not dissipate of its own accord, and is only
removed when the party member takes damage from a normal physical
attack (spell damage doesn't count!). A sleeping party member
may not 'Dodge' an attack. The easiest way to remove sleep is to
attack yourself with a party member that has a low offense stat. The
D.Earing and ShinyBR items can prevent sleep.
Curse - This is recognizable as a ghostly demon vibrating over the part
member's head, and a skull in the status area. Curse forces Cond. to
its worst possible level: Ill. This has the effect of reducing the
probability of being able to CtrAttck (other effects?). The easiest
way to remove curse is to rest. Vtmn works, but it is expensive, and
Heal works too, but you don't have the luxury of casting this until
late in the game. Charm and ShinyBR can prevent curse.
Dead - Any target taken to 0 HP which does not defy death becomes dead (this
applies to zombies as well). Death removes all other conditions,
shaman bonding, and interrupts the combatant's action. Dead
combatants do not take actions, and receive no award if they are dead
at the end of a battle. As stated in basic combat mechanics, if all
party members are dead or zombie, you lose. If all opposition is
dead, you win. Outside of combat, dead characters may not cast
spells, but items may still be used, and the character may even
change equipment and be put in the lead to use skills! The easiest
way to revive from the dead is to use LifePl or Renew. Resting also
removes death at a much lesser cost. Death as caused by the Death
spell can be prevented with the LifeBR item.
Def.Dn - The target's Def is halved for the remainder of the combat.
Def.Up - The target's Def is multiplied by 307/256 (120%) for the remainder
of the combat.
Hushed - All spells cast by the target will be blocked. This does not stop
item use or other special actions. Blocked spells do not waste AP.
Hushed has a chance of dissipating each round, if the combatant
passes a Wis-based (?) roll. The hushed condition is not visible the only way to tell if it is there is when you notice that your
attempt to cast a spell fails.
Poison - Only produces ill effects outside of combat. For each step that the
party member takes on the overworld or in an area with monsters, HP
is decremented by 1. rHP cannot drop below 1 in this way. This
condition may be in effect side by side with regeneration (in this
case, the two effects would cancel out). Poison is visible as a
skull & crossbones vibrating overhead, with a beaker in the status
area. The simplest way to remove poison is to use CurePsn or an

Antdt. ShinyBR can prevent poison.
Pwr.Dn - All damage from normal physical attacks made by the target is
multiplied by 7/8. This condition persists until the end of battle.
Pwr.Up - the target's Off stat is doubled, to a maximum offense of 511. This
condition persists until the end of a battle.
Rotting - An intermediate stage before becoming a zombie. Rotting party
members have purple skin and adopt a stooping posture. A party
member which has been rotting for one full round will become a zombie
on the next round. If a party member was rotting at the beginning of
the round, they get a bonus to offense just as if they had the Pwr.Up
condition. The simplest way to remove rotting is to use TearDr or
CurePsn. KramerBR and ShinyBR can prevent rotting.
Wis.Up - The target's Wis is doubled, to a limit of Wis = 255. This has the
effect of changing magic susceptibility and reducing slightly the
vulnerability to normal spell damage. This persists until the end of
a battle.
Zombie - A truly nasty affliction. A zombie looks like an undead figure
which faces towards the party. Upon becoming a zombie, all other
conditions are removed, shaman bonding is lost, and a grey face
appears in the status area. The target can no longer be controlled,
and will use its actions to make normal physical attacks vs. party
members. This doesn't mean that the zombie is not still a valid
target for the opposition. The damage from these attacks is not the
standard party member attack algorithm, and I haven't figured it out
yet. All HP which would be healed to a zombie is subtracted as
damage instead. A zombie retains the Def, Vigor, and Wis ratings of
the character which produced it. The easiest way to remove zombie is
to use TearDr or CurePsn. If all else fails, you can attack it until
it dies. Characters which are zombies at the end of a battle receive
no awards, and become dead after the battle is over. Zombie can't be
prevented because it isn't applied directly, but rotting can be.
Besides the combat conditions, there are also the following non-combat
'conditions':
Regeneration
Smoke
Smoke - This was mentioned earlier. It can be applied to the entire group by
casting Smoke.
Regeneration - This condition is granted by equipment that a party member is
wearing. A party member with regeneration gains 1 HP per step taken
ANYWHERE, not just the places where poison would normally affect a
character.
-=-=-=====================- Damage Algorithms -=======================-=There are several different types of attack that deal damage: the normal
physical attack, normal spell damage, special damage, and Dragon damage.
For all damage algorithms, the following functions are used to handle
elemental damage:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------ResistElements( damage ):
This function is used in calculation of damage done to party members
from elemental attacks (spells and actions where a party member hits
an ally with an elemental weapon):
If the attack has an element associated with it, apply the
character's elemental resist level granted by the armor, helmet, and
shield that the character is equipping.
There is such a thing as resistance to holy damage, and it is
conferred by a great many items. But it is of only academic
interest, since the only holy attacks in BoF2 are the ones made by
your side! Unfortunately, nothing grants resistance to wind.
The elemental resist level is just
that the character is wearing that
associated with the attack. Thus,
and 3 (although it is usually only
the number of pieces of equipment

grant resistance to the element
resist level can vary between 0
0 or 1).
Now, multiply damage by...

Resist level
0
1
2
3
Factor
1
13/16
11/16
9/16
(No resist)
~81.25% damage
~68.75% damage
~56.25% damage
----------------------------------------------------------------------------ElementMultiplier( damage ):
This function is used in calculation of damage done to opposition
from elemental attacks (spells and hits from elemental weapons).
Depending on the enemy type, the following multipliers are applied:
If the monster is ...
Spirit:
damage * 2 from holy

* 1/2 from all other DEFENDABLE attacks
Undead:
damage * 2
from holy and fire
Flying:
damage * 2
from wind
Fiery:
damage * 2 from ice

* 1/2 from fire
Icy:
damage * 2 from fire

* 1/2 from ice
Aquatic: damage * 2 from thunder

* 1/2 from fire
All opposition has either one or none of the above types. If none of
the above types apply, damage is unaffected.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------And, the following functions handle the effect that 'Defense' has on damage:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------DefendSpecial( damage )
This function applies to normal spell damage and special defendable
damage dealt to any target using 'Defense'.
Defense multiplies damage by one of the following factors, chosen
randomly(?):
{95%, 85%, 75%, 65%}
Higher Wis (not Luck!) seems to result in choosing a more favorable
multiplier....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------DefendPhysical( damage )
This function applies to normal physical damage from party member's
or opposition's attacks to any target using 'Defense'.
Defense multiplies damage by one of the following factors, chosen
randomly(?):
{85%, <75%, 65%, <50%}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Things to note are that 'Defense' does not have an effect against
undefendable damage, and is more effective against physical attacks than
spells or special damage. There is also moderate random variation is the
effectiveness of using 'Defense'.
The algorithm for determining damage done by a normal physical attack made by
a party member is (I do not know what the algorithm is for attacks by
the opposition):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------AttackByPartyMember():
Pwr = (offense of attacker) - (defense of target)
(if Pwr < 0, Pwr = 0)
Now, if...
We are in the ... damage range
----------------------------------------------------------------Pwr < 63
Low
63 <= Pwr < 99
Mid
99 <= Pwr
High
For the high range,
Damage = Pwr * one of {58%,64%,70%,76%},
chosen by a roll based on Luck
For the mid range,
Damage = Pwr * one of {85%,90%,97%,103%},

also chosen by a roll based on Luck
For the low range, the exact algorithm is quite complex - it would take more
effort to explain than would a simple listing of damage values vs. Pwr, so...
I will supply the list instead:

Again, more favorable damages are likely if the Luck of the attacker is high.
Things to note about the data in the table is that it is fairly well behaved:
damage is usually between Pwr and (3/2)*Pwr, except near the high end, where
the damage is curbed down to match up seamlessly to the mid range algorithm.
Also, remember that Pwr = 0 applies whenever the target has a much higher
defense than your offense.
Finally, note that the mid range algorithm does not match to the high range
damages - there is a sharp drop in damage done above Pwr = 98 (a drop of
about 25 points...).
That concludes the differences for the 3 ranges. Next, roll to see if
the attack can do Special damage (not available for certain attacks). If so,
damage *= 2. The roll for this seems to be completely random.
If target is using 'Defense', apply the DefendPhysical() function to damage.
Now apply the attacker's position bonus (determined by formation and combat
order):
Damage *= attack_modifier( risk of position attacker is in )
And apply the defender's position bonus to the damage:
Damage *= defend_modifier( risk of position defender is in )
If the target is a party member, apply ResistElements() to the damage.
If target is opposition, apply ElementalMultiplier() to the damage.
If attacker has Pwr.Dn, damage *= 7/8
(Pwr.Up, Def.Up, and Def.Dn are

all handled as modifiers to Def
and Off, and are thus taken care of

already).
If damage < 1, damage = 1.
If damage > 999, damage = 999.
Finally, if the attack was from a party member equipping a weapon that
allows toasted hits, make a random roll to see if the attacker toasts the
opposition. If so,
Damage = mHP of the target
Damage shown will be no greater than 999, even though toasted hits can
deal more than that amount of damage.
The damage values from this algorithm should be exact.
Note: Feel free to use the damage calculator made by Ben Siron to make
figuring these numbers out much easier. It can be found on my site at:
*** Address: http://www.geocities.com/sabin_2002/BoF2DmgCalc.html ***
--------------------------------------------------------------------------The attack_modifier() and defend_modifier() fractions used in the above
algorithm are determined in the following way:
Risk Tables:
-----------------------------With only one party member:
Leader
Normal
---------------------------------With two:
Leader Last
Normal
Scramble
2+
2-
-------------------------------------------With three:

-----------------------------------------------------As for the opposition, they are always at risk level 0, regardless of

--------------------------------------------------2+

83%
<75%
90%
85%
80%
<75%
(This gives the interesting result that the lead character deals himself
about 3 times more damage (in the lead of the Normal formation), than he
would if he were at the back.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------AttackByOpposition():
This represents my best guess about what some of the steps involved in this
algorithm are. As to order of steps, and the complete algorithm, I have
no idea as yet....
Compute damage as a function of attacker's Off and defender's Def. Depending
on the attacker's Off, this may result in non-trivial damage even when
(Off-Def) is reduced far below zero, but I expect that it reaches its minimum
and stays there as soon as Off = Def, and for higher Def ratings.
For attacks which may do special hits, damage *= 2, and register this as
being a 'Slammed' attack.
Damage *= defense_modifier(risk of target)
(Remember that all opposition is at risk level 0, so the attack modifier
step is skipped.)
As far as I know, normal physical attacks from opposition doesn't do
elemental damage.
If damage < 1, damage = 1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------For normal spell damage and special damage, whether from an attack by a
party member or the opposition, the following algorithm is used:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------SpecialDamage():
For normal spell damage,
Damage = SpellDamage( base spell power )
For all other special attacks and spells, refer to the description of the
action for damage done.
If attack is defendable,
If the target is a party member,
apply the ResistElements() function to the damage
If the target is using 'Defense',
apply the DefendSpecial() function to the damage
If the target is opposition,
apply the ElementMultiplier() function to the damage
(even if the attack is non-elemental in nature)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------The SpellDamage() function is:
Damage = base power + (0..7)
For damage to a party member:
x = [(Wis +1)/16]. If x = ...
0,1
2
3,4
5,6
7,8,9
10,11,12
13,14,15,16
Damage *= f
116 %
108 %
104 %
96 %
92 %
84 %
76 %
(This formula is EXACT)
For partial immunity, a roll is made during the casting of the spell
to see if party members with partial immunity can ignore the damage.
If so, damage is reduced to 0 for all party members targeted by this
spell (if one party member ignores damage, all of them with partial
immunity do - this makes for a good way to test if a piece of
equipment grants partial immunity).
For damage to opposition:
Damage *= 100% + (Ms * 4%)
If opposition has full immunity, always reduce damage to zero, unless
the spell is being cast due to item use.
(Ms is the magic susceptibility of the target, an integer in
(-3..4). The lower the magic susceptibility number, the lower the
fraction of damage that the enemy takes from spells. Magic
susceptibility is not a large factor in damage, as there is only
a 4% difference per point of susceptibility....)
If the caster of the spell is a party member, make a roll to see if
the spell is well-cast. All damage spells will, if 'well-cast',

cause 50% more damage. A spell is well cast if a random number
(0..255) > func( wis, bCond, Guts ) + other_bonuses?. func is some
linear additive function I haven't yet determined, which maxes out at
128. I do know that if any one of bCond, Guts, or Wis is nonzero,
you have a chance of well-casting the spell. This roll is not made
if casting the spell using an item. Certain items always well-cast
a spell, and others never do. Additionally, if the caster is wearing
the SkullBR, func always returns 128 (50% chance of well-casting the
spell). Depending on the spell and terrain, being well-cast may be
visible with extra graphics in the casting on the spell or things
being done to the terrain picture. The 'other_bonuses' part include
things that may further boost probability. I've noticed that if some
of the targets are weak vs. the element you're casting, probability
seems to increase. Also, terrain type may have an effect.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Notes: Note what spell damage and special damage is NOT a function of:
1) Position. No matter where the attacker is and where the target is, the
damage is the same.
2) Level of caster or target, luck of caster or target.
Finally, there is a third commonly occurring type of damage - the kind dealt
by the Dragon spells that the hero uses:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------DragonDamage():
This function deals damage in the following way:
Fract = [ ([rAP/2]*256) / [mAP/2] ]
Squared = [ fract^2 / 256 ]
If squared < 1, squared = 1
Damage = [ squared * (base power) / 256 ]
This exact algorithm can be approximated (to +/-3 HP of damage) with
the simpler formula:
Damage = (base power) * ( [rAP/2] / [mAP/2] )^2
Now apply the ElementMultiplier() function to the damage
(even if the attack is non-elemental in nature).
Things to note are that:
1) At maximum AP, damage dealt is the base power of the spell *
elemental modifiers.
2) You're getting gypped if your casting a dragon spell at anything
less than maximum AP, because the cost-effectiveness (or
damage dealt per AP spent) is proportional to the amount
of AP used. This is because damage is not proportional
to the fraction of maximum AP remaining (rAP/mAP), but its
square.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-=-=-========================-
Skills
-==========================-=-
Skills are what I call the special abilities peculiar to each party member
that can be used outside of combat. Each party member has a unique set of
skills, and in some cases, the transformations you get out of shaman bondings
have their own sets of skills which may be different that the character's
skills in the unbonded form. To use a skill, the character with the skill
must be in the lead of the walking order. Some skills are automatic
benefits. For others, you must press 'Y' to use the skill.
In the explanations of these skills, 'normal walking speed' refers to the
fundamental scrolling rate of 1 pixel per refresh of your television set
picture. This works out to be:
(60 refreshes/sec) * (1 pixel/refresh) * (1 spot/16 pixels) = 3.75 spots/sec
double speed is 2 pixels/refresh, or 7.5 spots/sec
4x speed is 4 pixels/refresh, or 15 spots/sec
(Scrolling quality begins to noticeably degrade beyond this
speed, because fractions of the normal walking speed with
large numerators or denominators tend to result in jerkiness
of the shifting of the picture....)
I call this rate the normal walking speed because this is the speed at which
your party moves about all maps and areas. Since it is a fundamental
constant of all NTSC television displays, this rate appears in nearly every
home video game that uses scrolling....
Each skill I have given a name because in BoF2, the abilities have no name.
Hence, I have put the names in parentheses. Listed in no particular order,
the skills are:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Spar, all of Spar's transforms:
(Forestry) On the overworld map, Spar can guide the party through
pine trees as if it was grassland. Spar can also enter the
lairs of the great wise trees, and talk to them, whereas the
other party members cannot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Hero: (Fish) Refer to the Huntin' and Fishin' section.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Katt, Bow, Bleu, 'Iron Man' transform:
(Hunt) Refer to the Huntin' and Fishin' section.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Rand:
(Roll) On the overworld map, Rand can roll up into a ball. Your
party rolls along with Rand at 2 times the normal walking
speed. You must control his direction in real time, because
Rand does not stop, and you can't get him to unroll unless
you crash into some piece of the landscape. When you do
crash, there is a 50% chance a random battle will be
triggered if the monster level is normal or active. If the
monster level is asleep, a random battle will not be
triggered (note that these probabilities are independent of
distance rolled). While rolling, the fight counter is not
decremented. Note that this skill is not available to the
'mighty Armadillo' transform.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Rand:
(Bulldoze) In one location, Rand can roll into a ball like he does
on the overworld map to break down heavy barriers. Note that
this skill is not available to the 'Mighty Armadillo'
transform.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Jean, 'Sir Mackerel' transform:
(Leap, Swim) On the overworld map, Jean can change into a giant frog.
The whole party rides on his back as he leaps about at normal
walking speed. The frog will leap 2 squares in any
direction, jumping over whatever is inbetween. Each leap
counts as a step for the purposes of generating random
battles. In this way, you can leap over ocean, ledges, and
lakes. While in this form, Jean can also swim in the lakes.
Each step you swim does nothing to the fight counter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Katt:
(Swing staff) In certain areas, Katt can swing her staff, usually
with the intent of breaking some type of object. This skill
is only used in a few places in the game. Note that the
'Devil Katt' transform cannot use this skill.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Sten:
(Reach) In many instances on the overworld and in areas, if you
encounter two poles sticking out of the ground with a gap
between them, Sten can stand at one pole and reach to the
other one. The party is then pulled across the gap to the
other side with Sten. Moving in this way does nothing to the
fight counter. There is one pole at the entrance to Highfort
which Sten refuses to cross except during the Highfort
scenario. Note that the 'Djinni' transform cannot use this
skill.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Nina, 'Queen of Angels' transform:
(Fly) After you have the Great Bird, you can call it from any
place on the overworld map. The great bird can cross any
terrain, moves at 4 times the normal walking speed, and can
land on any spot that can be walked on. This skill doesn't
work once the gates to Infinity are opened.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------Nina, 'Queen of Angels' transform(?):

(Avoid traps) If Nina steps onto a pit trap, she will fly back out of
it and the party will land safely on the spot they were on
before walking onto the trap. This ability is automatic if
Nina is in the lead. It does not work, however, for the pit
traps in ThvsTomd, where the traps move.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shamans
-=========================-=-
A shaman is an elemental spirit in human female form. There are six shamans
in BoF2. When you find a shaman, she will move in with granny in the shack
next to the hideout in TownShip. From then on, she can bond with a party
member to give that character bonuses to Vig, Wis, mAP, Off, and Def.
A maximum of two shamans can be bonded to a single character, and no shaman
may be bonded to two characters at once. Bleu and the hero may not bond with
shamans. The bonus from bonding two shamans is usually not just the sum of
the parts from each shaman - some combos result in some really striking
changes....
she shamans are:
Sana:Fire
Seso:Water
Spoo:Wind
Solo:Earth
Seny:Holy
Shin:Devil
These shamans can be found in the following places:

Fire: After you receive Ray's blessing in TownShip, return to
Capitan. Finding this shaman is necessary to progress
beyond Capitan.
Water: Immediately after defeating the witch Nimufu at WitchTwr
(while you're already up there, so you don't have to make the
trek again), check area that the stairway on the left side of
3F leads to....
Wind: Found in SkyTower. Finding this shaman is necessary to
progress beyond the SkyTower scenario.
Earth: Difficult to obtain - Donate at least 20 times at the
shrine in Namanda, and do this BEFORE you level St.EvaCh (the
donations need not be done in the style of one immediately
following the last). After leveling St.EvaCh, return to
Rand's yard in FarmTown. There is a rumor floating about
that the Earth shaman can only be obtained if you refrain
from using magic while clearing Rand's yard. This is hogwash.
Holy: After leveling St.EvaCh, return to Bando and visit the
first cell in the extending corridor.

Devil: Found inside of the left entrance to Infinity.
Unfortunately, we see the most of the shamans can't be found until
practically the end of the game, and bonding for the trip down through
Infinity is impractical because of the length of the trip, and the fact that
you are automatically unbonded when you attempt to learn Anfini. Thus, the
number of parts of the story where you can make effective use of these
shamans is vanishingly small Also, note that bonding may not be done until
phase 2 of TownShip begins (see TownShip section).
The results of a bond can be divided into 4 classes: failure, augmentation,
fusion, and transformation.
Failures are bond combos that won't work. Most combos are failures, so I
won't list them.
Augmentation doesn't change the character's appearance, but nonetheless
results in a bonus to the character's stats which is standard for that
shaman. An augmentation of two shamans results in a bonus which is merely
the sum of the standard bonuses for each shaman. Nothing else changes.
Fusion changes the shade of the character's appearance and results in better
bonuses than augmentation, but everything else about the character is
unchanged (such as the character's skill and special combat action).
Transformation is a unique change in personality. The character's portrait
morphs into something completely different, and the character gets a unique
set of shaman bonuses (much better than either augmentation or fusion) to all
five stats. Transformation also changes the character's special combat
action, and may interfere with the character's skill. And, last but not
least, the dialogue you get when you talk to other characters may be
different (in some rare cases), depending on how you're morphed.
Once you find a combination which works and you want to do the bond again
without having to go through the lengthy bonding animation sequence, you can
ask granny for a 'List' of the combinations which you have already had
success with (a nice time saving feature which also helps you out when you
can't remember exactly what the combo was). This list contains every
combination you ever tried in your current game which worked. The combos are
listed lexicographically by shaman names, with the names color coded:
augmentations in white, fusions in green, and transformations in red.
Shaman bonuses are calculated as percent factors multiplied by the character's
basic stats at the time of bonding. Bonding and unbonding are the only times
when shaman bonuses are recalculated, even though basic stats may change in
the meantime. Because of this, it is a good idea to re-bond with a shaman
from time to time to get the latest bonuses.
sOff = shaman offense bonus, a percent fraction of Str.
sDef = shaman defense bonus, a percent fraction of Stmna
sVigor = shaman vigor bonus, a percent fraction of Agi.
sWis = shaman wisdom bonus, a percent fraction of bWis
smAP = shaman max AP bonus, a percent fraction of bmAP
Example shaman bonus calculation:

Jean bonds with Seny to become Sir Mackerel. Before the
transformation, Jean had the following stats:
Str
Stnma
Agil
bmAP
bWis

Devil mAP +25%
Unbonding can occur for three reasons:

1) The bonded party member's HP equaled or dropped below [mHP/4],
during or outside of combat. The character is this weakened
state could not hold the shaman bond (augmentation, fusion,
or transformation) and thus reverted to normal form. Instant
death and zombie will also break a bond, but mere sleep,
poison, and rotting will not.
2) You bonded a different character to the same shaman (resulting in
loss of all bonding to the first character), or you bonded
the same character to a different set of shamans.
3) You used DivideBL to cancel the uniting (bonding), and thus lost
the bond. Sometimes this is necessary to allow use of the
character's special skill.
Unbonding results in all shaman bonuses being immediately reduced to 0, and
in the character reverting to normal form. To re-bond it is necessary to go
all the way back to granny's house in TownShip... (yes, this sucks. a lot.)
Because BoF2 tries to avoid a situation in which you bonded and weakened at
the same time, Granny gives everyone the benefit of rest whenever you talk to
her (thus you will always be at full health at the time of bonding).
The combos, listed by character, and using the shaman symbols defined above
follow:
(+) means augmentation,
(!) means fusion,
(?) means transformation
(The names I give for fusions and transformations are purely figments
of my own imagination (except for 'Djinni' which I borrowed from
Gleeman's FAQ on BoF2) - the actual names of the party members remain
the same.)

-=-=-=========================- TownShip
-=========================-=-
What? A town with no people to live in it? I don't think so.

As founder of Township, it is your duty to populate it in your own image. You
must scour the world to find those worthy of citizenship and invite them.
Perhaps they will honor your generous offer and move in, providing you with
valuable services... (...and perhaps they may just move in.) Choose wisely,
for once you invite them, you can't make them leave.
Township is built in three phases. In the first phase, Bow and Rand build
the hangout for the party. They will finish this as soon as you complete the
DryWell location.
By phase 2, the shaman bonding area and the first set of 3 houses is
complete. To get to this point, you will need to invite a carpenter to live
in TownShip and to construct the rest of the town. There are 3 carpenters
from which you may choose to extend an invitation (must you choose one???),
are there others?. All live in Capitan.
The three carpenters are:
A - He lives in the upper right hand Victorian style house.
He wears blue jeans, white shirt, orange jacket, and has
blonde hair
B - He lives in the left hand treehouse. He wears blue jeans, a
white shirt, a red jacket, and has red hair
C - He lives in the Arabian house. He wears red pants,
a black shirt, a light blue jacket, and has light blue hair
You might be saying now, 'so where are B and C?'. In the DryWell, if you
kill the enemy Villagrs instead of Chiroru, you have killed a villager
instead of rescuing the villager. There are 6 villagers to rescue in the
DryWell, and not all are controlled by Chiroru. Depending on how many you
rescue....
If you rescue...
You may recruit...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------0..2
Only carpenter A, and Ray teaches you Cure 2
3..4
A or C, and Ray teaches you Cure 2
5..6
A, B, or C, and Ray teaches you Renew
Each carpenter, if invited, will construct houses that look much like the
ones they used to live in. Choosing a carpenter is strictly necessary to
progress beyond Capitan. The carpenter you choose will immediately begin
work on the first 3 houses and will not finish until you rescue Jean from the
Woods location and return to the overworld map. TownShip is now in phase 2.
To get to phase 3, you must now fill houses 1 through 3 with tenants (yes,
they must be full!). Now make sure you visit all your new tenants at least
once, and then talk to your carpenter. He will ask you for 1000Z to begin
construction on the last 3 houses. Pay him and he begins on the last
set. If you do not have the money, merely talk to him again when you do have
it.
Now to get the carpenter to finish these three houses right away, exit and
enter TownShip 8 times. Voila! - town is finished. Wasn't that quick? You
are now in the last phase (sort of).
There are five other shamans besides Sana that may be invited to TownShip.
Their locations and powers are described in the Shamans section. When
invited, they will move in with Granny.
And, there are 2 final characters that may be invited that don't live in the
6 houses (not counting shamans), and they will make it possible to see the
secret ending to BoF2. The first character is Eichichi. The second, well,
I'm not telling....
Eichichi can be a bit hard to find. She can be invited to work in the town's
well shaft as soon as you have the whale. First, enter the room in the well
shaft that has the machine. Now, go to the basement of the Guntz library
(look for a hidden staircase). Finally, check for someone who is hiding next
to the wall of this room.
The second character appears to be an enemy, much like the Villagrs/Chiroru
combo, except that this battle actually is a bit difficult. Don't worry
about missing this battle - it's the fight with the Guardeyes and the Oldman,
and fighting it is an integral part of the plot.
In all, there are 6 houses, not including Granny's house, the carpenter's
house, and the well shaft. Number these houses 1 through 6. Each possible
tenant of TownShip has a house number corresponding to the house they would
move into if you invited them. For each of the houses, there exists more
than one tenant which wants move into that house. Inviting one of them into
that house means that the rest of those tenants can't be invited. They
either disappear, or merely do not ask to be invited....

----------------------------------------------------------------------------The possible tenants of the houses, where and when to find them, and what
they do for you is listed here. 'Transient' means that the character
disappears if the house they like is filled up by another citizen, and can
not found except during the time TownShip is in the proper phase of
construction. I believe this list is complete (27 tenants in all), but I
could be mistaken.
House #1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------Back
Hidden in the lower right corner of the Guntz armory - Back will
increase the Def rating of the character who talks to him by
4 points. This bonus lasts only until you try to change any
of your equipped items on that character. This bonus cannot
be applied again while it is already in effect, and the
effect is also removed after the first battle that you win.
(Doesn't last very long, does it?)
Hekeller
Front room of the house next to your old lodgings in HomeTown

(transient) - Hekeller opens up an armory which sells the
following items:
FlameSD
FireBW
FlameSH
BurnKN
HeatST
FireRG
MagmaAR
Kay
Upstairs in the Coursair church - Kay gives all characters in

your party (not just party members) immunity to poison, until
after you fight your first battle in an area with monster
activity. Kay will give this gift even if you already have
it, but there is no benefit to receiving it while it is still
in effect.
Poo
Upstairs in the Coursair pub (transient) - Poo leaves town

occasionally for an amount of real time?, when he returns
he will sell you an item he 'picked up' on his journey,
probably a MoonDrop.
Watts
At the Circus, but only while it is at Tunlan and before you get
Spar - Watts can help you find the secret character, but
getting Watts is not necessary to find this character; Watts
only gives hints to help you if you don't already know. You
may try to answer Watts' riddles as many times as you like just exit his house and reenter to try again.
House #2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------Brockden In Showcave - Brockden opens up a dojo, which seems to be of no
use to the party whatsoever. There is a FWAK floating about
which says that if you talk to Brockden 200-300 times, he'll
raise the mAP of the character which talks to him. This
is FALSE.
Leminton
Upstairs in the Capitan inn (transient) - Leminton opens up an

armory which sells the following items:
KingSD
DemonSH
MacClean
WonderRP
MightyAR
At the W.Beach west of W.Cape (transient) - MacClean can take you

to a secret fishing spot NW of TownShip at L7(1,5) which is
stocked with 7 Snper and 6 PileWm. Upon requesting to be
taken to this spot, you are immediately transported to the
spot under this one. The location you are sent to does not
depend in any way on the present location of TownShip.

Pechiri
Top floor of ThvsTomd, as soon as you are put on the mission to go

here - Pechiri tells you he's giving up stealing and thanks
you for the house. After you find the 'evidence' in
ThvsTomd, if you talk to him when you have any money
in the bank, your bank funds will mysteriously disappear.
The next time you talk to him, he will ask you if you truly
believe he's given up stealing. Give him the benefit of the
doubt, and he'll give you a clue as to how to get your money
back. Hearing this clue is not strictly necessary to recover
your money.
Win
In the upper left area of Mt.Rocko - Win allows you to change the
color of all text windows in BoF2, from among one of 8 color
schemes. Unfortunately not all colors are adjusted, so
nearly all of the other schemes look like they've been
whooped up with the ugly stick.
House #3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------Akky
In the Hut west of the sea of trees - only the Devil Katt
transform can understand what Akky says. Everybody else just
hears 'Meow'. Akky sleeps all day and doesn't seem to help
you one bit. When TownShip reaches phase 3, Nisa moves in.
Nisa likes chicken, but doesn't do anything even if you do
have the Chkn item. Nisa doesn't seem to do anything useful
for you either. I've heard that if you get Nisa early
enough, the two will raise a family of kittens, which also
do nothing for you. The kittens names are Nimosa, Suzu,
Mano, Kitashi, Ayuka, Raia, Yoshika, Shimissa, Shoe, and
Senchi.
Azusa
In a cave at Mt.Fubi - Azusa can take you to a secret hunting

spot at L7(13,1) which is maxed-out with 3 pigs, 2 deer, a
Grizzly, a Beak, and a guarantee of seeing a bird with every
recently slain animal. After requesting to see the secret
Huntsvil, you are immediately transported to L7(12,2). This
location does not depend on the present location of TownShip.
Baretta
In the Windia armory (transient) - Baretta opens up an armory

which at first sells the following trash:
LongSD
SuedeAR
Ristband
BronzeST
SaladBwl
WoodenDR
SteelAR
However, her wares do get better as you pass certain points

in the game. After returning from HighFort with the famous
flute, she sells:
BurnKN
BreathAR
FireRG
NationHT
QuartrST
After Rand's mom is taken, she sells:

ThndrST
EarthAR
ChuckDR
SokletAR
PierceRP
GuardSH
Finally, after St.EvaCh is leveled, she sells this:

BreakSD
AmberRG
ShinyHT
DeathBW
MotherRB
HolySH
KaiserKN
HeroAR
So, if you're going to get Baretta, do it before you level

the church, or else you'll never get to see the most
studliest assortment of equipment ever to be sold in a BoF2
shop.
Macotti
In the bathroom(!) of the Coursair pub - Macotti thanks you for

the free house and doesn't seem to do anything whatsoever to
help the party.
Wooppi
Upstairs in the HomeTown church - Wooppi gives you hints about

what is to come in the scenario you are currently in. Her
fortunes are not dependent on the phase of TownShip.
House #4
---------------------------------------------------------------------------Barose
The inn of southern Inheart (you will not be able to return here
after clearing Memory!) (transient) - Barose can teach 4
spells, each one to any party member in the lead of the
walking order when you talk to him - but only if the party
member has rHP > 2, and rAP > 2. There are three easy ways
you can go about reducing rHP to 1:
1) Easiest: Have the character consume Bait
2) Next easiest: Kill the character off in battle and then
revive that character to 1 HP by using 'Change' at a
dragon god totem
3) Still somewhat easy: Kill the character off in battle,
have Rand use Wake on the character, and then run
from battle
Which spell he teaches you depends on his mood. And his mood
changes based on how you answer his questions:
If you answer 'No', nothing happens - he will stop talking to
you
If you answer 'Yes' when...
His mood changes by...
rAP > 1
rAP = 1
rAP = 0
-96
+16
+32
rHP > 1
rHP = 1
rHP = 0
-96
+32
+16
If you answered 'Yes' twice and had rAP < 2, and rHP = 1, he
will teach you a spell based on his mood:
[Mood/64] is...
Spell taught...
0
1
2
3
Thunder
Freeze
Flame
Missile
If you want to better Barose's mood before learning a spell,

just answer the questions without choosing to learn a spell.
Barose's mood does not reset between conversations. Remember
that whenever a character learns a spell she already knows,
nothing changes to the spell list. Barose will only teach 4
spells even if you wasted some of your picks in this way, so
don't waste 'em.
Garber
Upstairs in the FarmTown inn - Garber can increase your offensive

power for a short while by giving a bonus of 8 to the weapon
power of whomever talks to him. Offense is still limited to
a maximum of 511. This bonus cannot be applied again while
it is still in effect on a given party member, and this bonus
is removed as soon as you change any piece of equipment that
the character is equipping, or win a battle (doesn't last
very long, does it!). If you were hoping that Garber might
have been useful to fix up the SoleSD, sorry - no dice.
Karashinikofu - Inventor's house in Guntz - Karashinikofu opens an armory in

TownShip which sells the following items:
KingOfDR
PierceRP
WhiteSH
Locker
BirchST
SilverAR
GradeDR
SlashGL
Back room of the Capitan inn - Locker can change the color of the
houses in TownShip between one of 4 color schemes
House #5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------El
In front of the Tunlan treasure room - El is a guard, and will
'protect' your town (from what, I have no idea). Talking to
El with Sten has no special effects.
Hanz
Rear room of the house next to your old lodgings in HomeTown

(transient) - Hanz opens up an item shop which sells the
following items:
Charm
WiseHoop
Medicate
IronBR
GutsBT
D.Earing
Cond.Up
Martin
Hidden in the Tunlan inn - Martin will ask you for 3000 Z, in
order to defeat 'that man', if you give him the money,
he leaves a note not to look for him and never returns
Yozo
Upper left corner of WindiaFt - If you talk to Yozo 57 times, he

will offer to increase one party member's bmAP (basic maximum
AP) by 16 points. This is the only opportunity in BoF2 to
increase this stat other than by leveling up. When Yozo is
invited, he begins with a mood of 32. Every time you talk to
him, his mood increases by four. Talk to him once more after
his mood is maxed-out, and Yozo makes you the offer. You may
refuse as many times as you like, but you may only accept the
offer once. IMHO, the bonus is most useful for Katt.
House #6
---------------------------------------------------------------------------Daiye
Upstairs in the Windia inn (transient) - Daiye will open up a
fish store in TownShip which sells the following items:
Srdine
Unagi
Mckrl
Tuna
Bait
Minnow
Salvador
In a SimaFort jail cell, during phase 3 of TownShip - Salvador

decorates your town with statues, one for each party member.
Upon being invited to TownShip, he immediately builds a
statue of the hero. To have him build the other statues, put
the party member you want to use as a model in the lead and
talk to Salvador. Salvador will 'borrow' that character for
a somewhat random interval of real time no longer than 14
minutes. This amount of time begins the moment you are sent
to the party member change menu. During that time, the
character being used as a model is not in your party. After
the following times have elapsed, and you revisit TownShip
(leave and reenter), this interval ends, and the statue is
completed. Note that Salvador will not sculpt any of the
shaman transforms. These statues all have something in
common - see if you can guess what it is. Other than
curiosity value, the statues have no known use.
Sumner
In a Tunlan home - Sumner can play for you most of the background
music in BoF2, but there are some tracks he doesn't know
(hearing tracks through the regular course of the game is not
a prerequisite for Sumner being able to play them for you).
Surfy
In the Hut on the peninsula northwest of TagWoods - Surfy opens up

a bank outlet in TownShip.
-=-=-==========================-
Items
-==========================-=-
There are 243 distinct proper items that I know of or have heard about in
BoF2. This section explains the uses, properties, and the methods of
obtaining each one of them.
Each item has a price, or is priceless. Priceless items can't be trashed,
sold, or bought. Once you find them, they're in your possession for keeps.
The price of an item is the price you would pay at a store to buy the item.
Resale value of a non priceless item is always [price/2]. In cases where a
non-priceless item can't be bought anywhere, I list its price as what it
would be in order to account for its resale value. Prices can be in the
range of (0..65k).
Other properties items may have are:

Consumable
Equipment - One of weapon, armor, shield, helm, or etc.
Food
Rods (subtype of etc. equipment)
Bait (subtype of etc. equipment)
Groupable
To each piece of equipment there is a set of switches to indicate who can
equip them. The party members who can wear a piece of equipment are listed
by their 1-letter character code.
In BoF2, except for the etc. type, recall that it is impossible to unequip
items. You may only replace a piece of equipment with another of the same
type. Most of the time this is not a restriction, since you may use 'Swch'
at equipment shops to do a simultaneous selling of your currently equipped
item, while buying a new item to take its place. You are charged the
difference between price and resale value, which may leave you richer than
before (although probably much worse off in the equipment department).
But beware:
!!BUG: Do not 'Swch' priceless items - the game will crash. The designers
forgot to put in a clause to deny you the ability to 'Swch' priceless
items. So, even though the value of a priceless item is listed as
zero, if you agree to the switch, the video blinks out and the game
halts (luckily, there are no ill effects to saved game data - and
this seems to be the most vicious bug in BoF2).
All equipment besides the etc. type may be used, but only in combat, and only
a few of these items produce any effect. Where the piece of equipment does
produce an effect when used, I list the effect by the spell which the action
is equivalent to.
For items which cast spells dealing normal spell damage, whether or not the
spell will be well-cast CAN be known for certain beforehand. Certain items
always well-cast a spell, while others never do. If the item well-casts a
spell, it is noted in the description. Otherwise, it is not noted. The
other thing about items that cast spells is that full immunity does not apply
to damage from item use, unlike casting the spell directly!
Consumables are items which may be used, but once used they are destroyed.
Foods are items which may be cooked by the carpenter. The product of
a baking of a set of food items is not always food, but it is never
equipment. Cooking in BoF2 is explained in the 'Home Cookin'' section.
Bait and Rods are equipment of the etc. type which allow your hero to fish at
FishSpots if he has one of each equipped. Neither type is usable, but bait
is destroyed when it is cast out and not brought back without something on
the fishing line. All Bait is groupable.
Equipment and Consumable classifications are mutually exclusive, as are Food
and Equipment (except for Bait). All items which fit into none of the above
categories are listed in the Misc. section.
For all items for which the location where it can be found (found only once)
is listed, places in parenthesis denote that the item is found there, not
bought. The 'Maniro:X' location means that the item can be bought by
catching Maniro at the correct Fishspot. 'Tsr.Box:X' likewise refers to
fishing. 'S:X' indicates (for equipment) that character X starts out with
that item equipped. 'Battle' indicates that on rare occasions, you will win
this item from defeating particular monsters in battle. Refer to the 'Spoils
of War' section for more information.
The location 'oven' means that if you have the carpenter who cooks items,
you may produce this item by cooking other items. The location 'shop' refers
to one of the three standard item shop types, described in the 'Goods &
Services' section. Since type 1 & 2 item shops are so plentiful, if an item
can be bought there, I will not bother to list any other locations where it
may be found.
The location 'Othello' means that this item can be won from the carpenter who
builds the treehouses. Refer to the 'Othello' section for more details.
There are a few items you may be able to put into your item list which do not
appear here. This is because the are not proper items. These are items
such as '1C', '100C', '1000C', '10000C', and whitespace items. The '..C'
items are money you find in treasure boxes. When you obtain one of these
items, it is credited to your party's money supply instead of put in your
inventory. The white space items are merely blanks for inventory and the
many different kinds of equip slots (that is why there exist 9 different
kinds of them, I am guessing).
Altogether: (4 coin items) + (9 whitespace items) + (243 proper items) = 256
(In other words, this list is complete.)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------Equipment
For each item of equipment is listed where you can find it, its price, who
can equip it, its powers, and other special attributes. Power gained from
equipment is the default set of statistics which an equipment type can
modify. Special attributes include everything else interesting about the
item.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - Weapons - - - - - - - - - - - Weapons give bonuses to Str. In BoF2, there is no such thing as a two-handed
weapon, i.e. something which denies you the ability to equip a shield.
Weapons may have item uses, and a single element associated with them. If
the weapon does have an element association, all attacks with that weapon are
of that element, and this may modify how much damage the target takes from
the attack. Element associations are listed in the power category with the
elemental symbol before the power bonus. The 'toasty' classifier in the
special column means that the weapon sometimes makes 'Toasted' attacks.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - Armor - - - - - - - - - - - - - Armor gives a bonus to Def, but also subtracts from Agil. This is because
each armor has a weight, and equipping an armor decrements Agil by the weight
of the armor, to a limit of Agil = 0. So in the power column, the form X/Y
means power of X, weight to Y. Some armors grant a level of resistance to
certain elements. If this is the case, the R:X denotes that the armor grants
resistance to element X. To do: catalogue all armor, shields, and helmets
which grant resistance to holy damage....

- - - - - - - - - - - - - Consumables - - - - - - - - - - - - Consumable items have equal effects when used in combat vs. outside of
combat, except where certain effects do not apply because a condition cannot
exist outside of battle, of the effect is a spell that does damage. If the
item can be used in non-combat situations it is listed as 'Nc'. Combat use
is 'Cb'. Either combat or non-combat is '//'. Also included in the table is
whether the item is groupable (G) and if it is cookable (C), as well as the
price of the item. There are no restraints on who may use consumable items.
For items which cast spells dealing normal spell damage, whether or not the
spell will be well-cast CAN be known for certain beforehand. Certain items
always well-cast a spell, while others never do. If the item well-cast a
spell, it is noted in the description. Otherwise, it is not noted.
The other thing which differs is that full immunity does not apply to damage
from items which cast spells!
Items which have the listed effect of [+](basic stat) will raise that basic
stat permanently by one point, but have no effect if used while the stat is
already maxed-out.

Make sure you do everything you want to do with them while they remain open:
Highfort: Cannot be entered before you need the Famous Flute, or after you
already have it.
Inheart(west): Transforms into Memory after you talk to the child in the
bottom right corner of Inheart(north). This is the child who says,
'Did you find the tower? I believe you can see it from the lake in
the west'. Do not talk to this child if you still have things to do
in Inheart(west)!
All of Inheart and the Dream location: Closed after you defeat Aruhamel and
leave the land of dreams.
St.EvaCh: This is destroyed after the battle with the Guardeyes and Oldman.
Gate: The Church here cannot be used after the gates to Infinity are opened.
-=-=-======================- Home Cookin' -=========================-=Nothing beats home cookin'. Do you want to max out all your stats (except mHP
and mAP), get rich quick, and have unlimited supplies of WiseBLs and
Biscuits? This is not a scam - this method ACTUALLY works! - no kidding!
Hey - would I lie to you?
If you chose the carpenter wearing blue jeans, white shirt, orange jacket,
and having blonde hair to build your town, you can have all this stuff and
more. Cooking items is a process where you take (1..4) food items from your
inventory, give them to the carpenter, his wife puts em' in the oven, and
then takes out the result. The result is placed on the bar in front of you
for pick up, if you want it.
There are 41 food items that I know about. All are either consumables or
bait. The product of a cooking session is either:
A product of the inputs
or
Charcoal
and
There will be either 1 or 2 of this product - usually one,
but sometimes two.
Most inputs result

you will sometimes
says nothing about
whether or not you
about 1/8.
in Charcoal, but sometimes not. But even in these cases,

waste your ingredients and get Charcoal anyway. This
the quality of the inputs you gave to the carpenter get Charcoal by mistake is random with a failure rate of
You must eat(!) all of the products of a previous cooking session before you
can do a new one. ...well, maybe not eat - perhaps just politely take it off
the counter and throw it out of your inventory while the carpenter's not
looking....
As far as I can tell, each of the items can be represented as a vector in
'food group' space. The dimensionality of this space and the representations
of each item in this space I am not sure of, but I believe that what you get
out of the oven is determined merely by summing vectors, and then searching
for the nearest item vector which this sum is greater than or equal to. The
maximum vector seems to be GoldBar. Not all end products are cookable - and
cookability says nothing about the magnitude of the vector. There are some
other things that go on in the cooking algorithm as well, since cooking an
item by itself always results in Charcoal, and many other combination I have
expected to work also result in Charcoal.
Anyway, you must be able to tell that this is a hand-waving argument - I
don't know how it's really done. But I did find some neat-o formulae which
as far as I know, nobody has ever found before (such as how to cook Cond.Up,
Stamina, and WiseBL). Since there a dozens of ways to produce most items,
I only list the easiest ways (in terms of obtainability of ingredients and
numbers of cooking steps required). Also, items which are easily obtainable
from a type 1 or 2 shop I will not bother to give formulae for. Remember
that F.Spice, ShaveIce, and Frizbee can be bought in Guntz as soon as you
have the whale.

-=-=-==========================- Othello -============================-=If you invite the carpenter that builds treehouses into your town, you can
use all those Tolens you're finding (there are 12 that I know about). The
Tolens have no other use. Mr. B likes to collect equipment, and sitting on
two 4x4 othello boards are pieces of equipment. Open squares in which to
place Tolens ring the outside, and on 4 center squares are the equipment
items. Whatever sits inbetween 2 Tolens, you have won, and can ask for it at
the front desk. To place a Tolen, talk to the person next to the board, and
a Tolen will be dropped randomly on one of the remaining empty outside
squares for that board.
The boards look like this:
....
.12.
.34.
....
. = Empty square
The number labels the item that sits on that square. Denote the board in the
back room as B, and the front one as A. The items that you can win are:

Although you only strictly require 8 Tolens to clear both boards, and can
find 12, I hear that there is no secret third board of goodies.
-=-=-==========================- Gossip -============================-=If you invite carpenter C to your town (the one who builds Arabian style
houses), he will set up a bar where old men gather to talk about the records
you've set. Specifically, they can tell you:
- How many times you've been through other people's dressers (only counting
the ones which read, 'Isn't there anything here?......'). The same
dresser may be counted multiple times for each time you rummage through
it.
- Who it would be a good idea to take with you as a party member in future
scenarios. This advice seems to be completely random.
- How many times you've gone fishing and hunting.
- How many Herbs (medicine) you've purchased.
- How much time you've been playing the game, precise to the minute.
- How many battles you triggered, regardless of the battle's outcome. Using
Sweh does not add a multiple count to a single battle.
- How many treasures you've obtained.
- How many times you have lost a battle.
My own personal records are (maxima and minima):
(41..1200) Times through other people's dressers
(5..30) Fishing sessions, (30..105) Hunting sessions
(382..5566) Herbs purchased
(28:40 .. 51:42) Hours playing time
(440..1325) Encounters
(45..117) Treasures
(5..6) Times totally defeated
None of these statistics ever won me anything. If anybody out there has done
better (or worse), let me know about it and also tell me if you ever won
anything because of it. As it looks now, these statistics are completely
useless.
All of the counts pertain to the entire time you've been playing the game, up
to the present. As a bragging tool, this information would be a lot more

useful if it was also given to you when you beat the game. Alas, it is not
that way. As such, this carpenter would be of infinitesimal practical use,
except that he also becomes a bartender. He can sell you a drink which will
raise the Cond. of all party members to Super. This service costs 600Z times
the number of party members in your group.
-=-=-=====================- Fishin' & Huntin' -======================-=Scattered about the overworld map are spots where you may occasionally see
a fish jumping out of water. Rustling bushes also pop up occasionally. If
you activate one of these fish/game spots, you will engage yourself in a
fishing or hunting session.
Fishing spots are always at predesignated shore locations, while hunting
spots seem to be assigned random forest/grass locations. To each map section
there are (0..1) fish spots. Activity for all spots is reset to off when you
enter the overworld. Activity is reevaluated only after leaving combat. In
such a reevaluation, activity of all other map sections (ones other than
where you are now) is reset, and there is a moderate probability that the
local fish spot will be made active, if your Hero is in the lead of the
walking order.
The only exceptions to the above generation rules are the secret spots which
can be reached only through TownShip citizens.
The probability that a game spot will be made active is independent of the
fish spot calculation, and results is a random grass/forest square on screen
being made an active game spot (not necessarily within the current map
section). This is done by choosing a random location for the game spot on
the overworld (in your vicinity) when you return from battle. If that spot
can support game (i.e. it is not ocean, lake, mtns., etc..) then we have a
game spot. Otherwise, no game spot appears on the map. From this, we see
that in order to go hunting, it is a good idea to pick an area with a lot of
grassland/forest about you. Contents of the game spot is INDEPENDENT of map
section, but it does seem to be dependent on the LV of the hero (only a few
species show up at very low level. When you activate a game spot, you go to
Huntsvil.
After using a fish/game spot, you return to the overworld and the
activity of all spots is once again turned off, unless you returned from a
battle that was triggered in Huntsvil. In this case, repeat the fish/game
spot generation algorithm.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - Fishing - - - - - - - - - - - Only the hero can activate a fish spot, and then may only fish if he is
equipping a rod in one Etc. slot and a bait item in the other. You must
also have a free slot in your inventory. In a fish spot you might find some
of the following species:
Lure refers to the item of bait that can be used to grab the attention of a
particular species of fish.
Note: Although G8Bait is not listed, as a lure it will elicit an immediate
response from all species of fish. It would be the ultimate lure, except
that Maniro cares only for Gold, and the Tsr.Box couldn't care less.

To fish, cast out an item of bait. A casting either results in the line
getting away (you lose the bait), a catch (you drag something back to where
you are sitting, it is added to your inventory, and you lose the bait), or a
recall (you bring back the bait with nothing on the line by pressing 'B').
It is not possible to break the pole, only waste bait.
While nothing
button. This
straight line
a second, you
on the seabed
is on the line, you may also jerk back the bait with the 'A'
may be done ad infinitum. This moves the bait back along a
towards the tip of the pole. If you hold 'A' for more than 1/2
stop pulling and you must pull again. If you let the bait sit
for more than about a second, the line gets away.
To get something on the line, you must either snag the intended object if it
is immobile, or grab its attention with the bait you're casting. What the
condition is for grabbing the fish's attention is, I don't know.
When you get something on the line, you will see two HP meters, one for the
HP of your pole, and one for the object. Your pole will always start at mHP
at the beginning of every tug of war, and the objects in the water all begin
with mHP when you enter the FishSpot, but HPs lost from previous reelings are
not replenished. Neither meter decreases unless you pull, but the object
will generally move away from you if you don't pull, and if the object
reaches the seabed, you will lose your bait just as if you had nothing
on the line.
For each pull, your pole loses a random number of HP, as does the object,
Unless the object has 0 HP left. The random number your pole loses is
reduced somewhat if the object has no HP left. When your pole has 0 HP left,
the line snaps. You can pull for a maximum of half a second before you must
pull again. While you pull, the object on the line either moves towards you
or does not move, but cannot move away from you. Because of this, you want
to reel in the item using the fewest number of pulls, which requires good
timing. If you pull while the object is on the surface and the object is
mobile, there is a chance it may leap out of the water away from you (try to
avoid this).

- - - - - - - - - - - - - Hunting - - - - - - - - - - - There are 5 species of animal that live in Huntsvil: the bird, pig, deer,
Grizzly, and Beak. All but the Beak leave behind an item when you kill them.
Not all of these species are immediately discoverable. Your Hero must reach
a threshold level before each species begins to appear:
Immediate: Pig,Deer
LV 11: Bird
LV 15: Grizzly
LV 33: Beak
These thresholds have not been very accurately determined, since the
probability of finding a new species rises from zero gradually near the
threshold. The one exception to this scheme is Azusa's secret hunting
grounds, which are always fully stocked with wildlife.
All party members can enter Huntsvil, but only Katt, Bow, Bleu, and the Iron
Man can hunt. Their methods differ somewhat. Katt swings her staff to hit
an animal in an adjacent spot. Bow and the Iron Man can shoot up, down, left
or right. Bow has a range of 4, and the Iron Man has a range of 5. Bleu's
method leaves much to be desired however (unless you're hunting for
Charcoal). Katt's range is a definite disadvantage, but once you get luck
and hit something, killing it is a snap - just keep swinging as fast as you
can. To kill an animal, you need to hit it a certain number of times, which
is the same regardless of who is hunting (other than Bleu):
Bird
Pig
Deer
Beak
Grizzly

Hunting is difficult because all animals except the Beak have at least a
speck of intelligence. They will (understandably) try to run from you if you
get too close. The Beak will charge at you. The Grizzly also charge at
you, but only if you hit it - otherwise it will run. If you touch the Beak
or the Grizzly, you will engage it in combat. When an animal moves off the
edge of the screen in Huntsvil, it is gone forever (don't wait for it to come
back).
The bird does not immediately make an appearance, but if you slay an animal
there is a small chance it may fly onto the screen while the item from the
recently slain animal's remains still rest on the ground. The bird may
appear more than once, but at most once for each animal you kill. The
Beak, on the other hand, keeps coming back for more - regardless of what
you do (damn thing won't stay dead!). If you kill it, another will enter
Huntsvil after a little while. The Beak is also an annoyance in that it

will steal any items sitting on the ground by charging at them.
When an animal dies, it leaves behind an item. This item will stick around
a little while, flicker, and then disappear. The contents change depending
on how early you pick it up:
Right away ...

If you try picking an item up and see that you don't want it yet, just refuse
to pick it up, and try again a short while later.
-=-=-======================- Spoils of War -=======================-=-=Each enemy type has treasure class and a treasure set associated with it.
Treasure class is a number in (0..7) which sets the probability that the
enemy will carry treasure. The treasure set is the possible set of treasures
that the enemy can carry. A set consists of a common and a rare item.
Sometimes, the rare item is the same as the common one. For example,
Biruburu has the following treasure set and class:
3:(Herb,HelpBL)
This means that Biruburu is class 3, usually awards an Herb, and on rare
occasions will award a HelpBL. As listed below, class 3 implies that there
is a 3/128 chance of winning the common item, and a 1/128 chance of getting the
rare item.
There are about 200 unique enemy types in BoF2, but there are only 64
distinct treasure sets. Many enemies award the (Herb,HelpBL) set, but most
sets are much less common and are carried by one a particular enemy type.
For example, only N.Rider has the (MedusaSH,NoTwinRP) set, and this is the
only known way you can obtain the NoTwinRP item (the MedusaSH ain't bad
either, but you can _buy_ that).
The exact mechanics of treasure awards are as follows:
-------------------------------------------Before a battle, for each enemy:
Make a roll (0..255). Check to see If that roll is less than the enemy's
treasure threshold. Every enemy has a treasure class:
Class
0
1
Threshold
1
2
2
3
4
5
6
7
4
8
16
32
64
255
If the roll is also 0 mod 4, then the enemy has a rare treasure. Otherwise,
the treasure is common. This means that for each treasure class, we have the
following probabilities:
Class P(treasure)
P(common)
P(rare)
--------------------------------------------------------0
1/256
0
1/256

1/128
1/256

1/64

1/32
6
1/4
3/16
1/16
7
255/256
191/256
1/4
During the battle, every time you kill an enemy, we check to see if that
enemy had treasure. If so, the treasure for the battle is set to what that
enemy had, regardless of what the treasure for the battle had been
previously. If two enemies have treasure (very unlikely), only the last one
with treasure to die will count for the battle.
What does this mean to you? If you're looking to win a specific treasure:
1) Fight the enemy with the highest treasure class that awards that item, and
fight an enemy which awards that item as a common treasure, if
possible. In practice, most enemies are class 2 or 3, with 6 being
the highest - A.Sludge awards a treasure once in every 4 battles.
I think class 7 was defined in the code only for internal testing
purposes.
2) Use Sten's Djinni transform to 'Sweh' until you find the enemy you're
looking for.
3) It's always possible to win a rare treasure from an enemy, just incredibly
unlikely. If you're looking for a treasure which is only available
as a rare, it's the same to you whether the enemy's class is 0, 1,
or 2. Dig in - it's going to be awhile.
4) You can win at most one treasure per battle. Enemies which run away don't
count, so kill the sought after enemies right away if you think
they're going to run. If you run away, you don't get anything.
This much is obvious just from playing BoF2.
5) You're more likely to win a treasure when you fight multiple instances of
the enemy, since the roll for each enemy is made independently of
the others. So, look for battles where there are many enemies of
the type you're looking for. A battle with 2 or 3 of that enemy
means you're roughly 2 or 3 times more likely to win treasure. The
probability is slightly less than directly proportional, because a
rare treasure may be overwritten with a common one from that same
enemy type, but if you work it out, it's always still to your
advantage to fight the bigger groups.
6) Always kill the enemies of the type you're looking for last, to avoid the
possible overwriting of the desired treasure with something else from
a different enemy type.

enemies in BoF2. One of these is empty. The remaining 63 are:

-=-=-======================- Know Your Enemy -=======================-=This section is a complete listing of all the enemies in BoF2, including
their stats, actions they use, prizes for defeating them, and where to find
them. A few enemies listed here remain to be found anywhere - I only know
about them through examination of BoF2's source code.
The enemy stats which I have been able to measure are:
HP - maximum Hit Points of the enemy. All enemies start out with a full
hit point bar, and may not have more HP than their mHP (just like
party members). These values are exact.
AP - maximum Ability Points. For all enemies which can cast spells, mAP
tells how much AP they start out with (works the same way as with
party members). Being low on AP does not prevent the enemy from
attempting to cast a spell (sometimes they try to cast spell which
costs more than their mAP - several times! These enemies give new
meaning to the term artificial intelligence) These mAP values are
exact.
Ms - Magic susceptibility. Actually this is a derived stat, calculated from
the enemies Wis stat as 4-[Wis/32], but I can measure Ms directly,
whereas I can't measure Wis directly. Anyway, Ms gives an
approximate measure of the enemy's Wis stat (+/-16 points). The
lower Ms is, the less damage the enemy takes from spells (refer to
the spell damage algorithm), and the higher the probability that
spells cast on the enemy will fail if they _can_ fail. Most Ms -3
enemies are completely immune to a lot of useful spells, such as
Death, Drain, and Def.Down. Ms is also an approximate measure that

spells cast by the enemy will succeed. (Death cast by an enemy of Ms
-3 always succeeds, unless the target is immune to death). These
values are exact.
Atk - Attack rating. This can range from (0..511) and works slightly
differently than it does for your allies, but the gist is the same.
(TODO). These values are exact.
Def - Defense rating. This can range from (0..511) and works exactly the
same way as it does for party members (as it pertains to attacks FROM
party members, anyway). Refer to the algorithm for damage from
attacks by party members for more details. The values are exact.
Type - Enemy type. This determines the elemental multipliers which apply
to the enemy:
Spirit
2x damage from holy attacks, 1/2 damage from all

other attacks which aren't undefendable
Aquatic
2x damage from thunder, 1/2 damage from fire
Icy
2x damage from fire, 1/2 damage from ice
Undead
2x damage from holy and fire
Flying
2x damage from vacuum
Fiery
2x damage from ice, 1/2 damage from fire
Refer to the 'Damage Algorithms' section for more details

Agi - Agility rating of the enemy, from (0..511). Determines the order in
which combatants will take action is a round of combat. Refer to the
'Stats' section for more details. These values are exact.
Luck - Luck rating of the enemy, from (0..255). Used for various probability
functions, such as the chance of making a 'Slammed' attack.
These values are exact.
Actions - A listing of the actions which the enemy can do, plus the
conditions which must be met for the action to be used, if there are
any. All enemies have the option to attack unless otherwise noted.
The effects of these actions is described in the 'Spells' and
'Actions' section. If the enemy only attacks and uses Defense, I
write '...' here. There exists a very small chance that these lists
are not complete yet.
XP - The experience point award for defeating that enemy. You do not win
this is if the enemy runs away. The exact amount won by a party
member is slightly different and is dependent on the relation between
the Hero's level and the party member's level. Refer to the
'Experience and Levels' section for more details. These values are
exact.
Z - The number of coins won from defeating that enemy in battle. Unlike
experience points, there is nothing strange in how this is handled:
the amount added to the party's gold supply is just the sum of the
coin values of the enemies defeated. These values are exact.
Location - Where you can fight this monster. Locations on the overworld map
are all listed together by map section codes as 'Outside:...'. These
map section codes are defined in the 'Mapping' section, but I will
repeat them here for convenience:

All other locations are by place name as shown on the main command
screen. I put a star before the location name if the battle is 'to
the death', and one which can only be fought a finitely predetermined
number of times (as with bosses). A caret refers to a battle to the
death which you can fight as many times as you wish (Huntsvil, for
example). The special location 'Demo' means that you see the enemy
in the Demo sequence which runs automatically from the title screen
if you just let the game sit for a while.
Full Immunity - A property which makes the enemy immune to most spell damage.
Refer to the 'Damage Algorithms' section for more details.
Item - The explanation of this is a section unto itself. Refer to the
'Spoils of War' section above. The format of this field is

(While Algernon lives, if either Suiky or Danielle dies, make a

random roll to see if that character can be revived to mHP. Also
make a roll after every action by the opposition to first see if
either can be revived, then determine randomly whether it will be
Suiky or Danielle. If the intended target still lives, this roll is
wasted. Also make such a roll after all combatants have taken
actions for each round.)

-=-=-======================- Tips and Tricks -======================-=To gain money quickly right after the prologue and while Bow is still in your
party, go hunting. A Roast sells for 200 Z, which is about 30 times what you
can expect to win in a typical battle. You can also get 350 Z right off the
bat by searching your room for 100C and taking the LifePl at the Ranger's
Guild.
To save yourself hardship, wander around to the East of Hometown and build
up your levels before returning Suzy to her master. Use this opportunity to
hunt for Roasts as well. Level 10 is a good stopping point.
When you find the Gold in TagWoods, there's a nice FishSpot northeast of
Coursair where you can catch Maniro and get lots of bitchin' equipment. But
be sure to bring a lot of money! (about 4000 Z is as much as you'll probably
need - see above paragraph for how to obtain this much money quickly).
In the Coliseum, the treasure chest in Katt's room CAN be reached (Open the
door to Katt's locker room before entering your own locker room, don't
try to take the treasure, then come back for it later.), but since this
treasure chest is a fake, don't bother....
Also while you're in the coliseum, if you want to be able to keep that 1000 Z
payment without giving it to Rand, remember that Rand only enters the room
when you try to open the door to the arena. So, try to open the door first
and then open the chest. You may also want to put your party money supply in
the bank if you don't want Rand to take that either.
At the WildCat restaurant to can either learn Chopchop or get your mHP
raised. Before entering this place, all inventories and equipment lists
are saved, and restored upon exit or death. In WildCat, you must pass
through a series of checkpoints. At each checkpoint, you may choose to
either obeys the rules posted there, or disobey and fight your way past a
Bouncer. At the end of the trip, you'll meet Mr.Wildcat himself. Just
before this you will be asked how you want your food prepared:
Rare - all party members take [rHP/4] pts of damage
Medium - [rHP/2] points of damage to all
Well Done - [3/4*rHP] points of damage to all
If you do not choose, all party members are reduced to 1 HP (!)
The following things affect Wildcat's mood:
He begins with a mood of 120
For each rule: Disobeyed -8
Obeyed
0
After battling Wildcat, he asks you the following questions:
1: 'Are you mad...?'
Answer / Effect
--------------------------------------------Yes -8 goto 2
No +4 goto 3
2: 'Will you forgive me'
Yes 0 goto 5
No -4 goto 4
3: 'You are soft-hearted aren't you?'
Yes +4 end
No -4 goto 4
4: 'Please forgive me, will you?'
Yes 0 goto 5
No -2 goto 6
5: 'You won't take that back...?'
Yes +4 end
No -2 goto 6
6: 'Do you forgive me?'
Yes +4 end
No -2 goto 6
At the end of it all, you will receive an award depending of Wildcat's mood:
Mood >= 112 (yellow or better)
He will teach one party member Chopchop.

Mood <112 (orangish-yellow or worse)
He instead raises the mHP of all party members by 16 points.
Either bonus is pretty good, but if you're going with the mHP bonus, be sure
to bring along Sten, Katt, and Nina. They'll need it the most. Note that
you cannot win either of these things after Jean requires the royal seal to
prove his lineage, but you must still fight to get in. So be sure to take
time out to do this before visiting SimaFort.
After Jean leaves the party in SimaFort by getting jailed, I highly recommend
going back to a dragon totem to restore your group to a full complement of 4
party members. As a general point of strategy, restore your party to its
maximum size whenever someone leaves.
In the room next to the SimaFort kitchen, there seems to be a secret little
nook in the lower right corner. This is merely a bug in character mapping,
and contains nothing useful.
In the top room of the bucket rides at SimaFort, there's a lot of hidden
cash: 3000 Z. From the spot where the filled buckets rise through, search
(0,-3), (-1,-3), and (-2,-3) from this spot (these spots are along the
embankment).
At the carnival when you are asked to either supply 900k Z, or an Uparupa,
you CAN pay the 900kZ, if you have it, but to collect this much money is a
colossal waste of effort. You will end up fighting the ringleader anyway,
and you will be out 900,000 coins.
To gain experience and gold quickly after you have the whale, I recommend
visiting the island of giants (northwest of Windia). There are three enemies
you are likely to encounter: Gonghead(2), A.Sludge, and Chorking. Chorking
is easy is you use items which cast damage-dealing spells, since full
immunity does not apply in this case. These items can be bought in Guntz.
Or, if you have the Chopchop attack, use that instead. The other two can be
defeated after a lot of hacking and slashing. Heavy magic-users might want
to Hush or cast damage dealing spells on A.Sludge to speed up the process.
A.Sludges are nice in that they can be Drained for lots of AP when your magic
users are running low.
In the unlikely event that you encounter K.Sludges, you're probably toast,
unless you have the G.Drgn spell. They have armor and mHP like a tank, are
faster than a speeding bullet, and like to cast Death (and when they cast
Death, it always works). In such a battle, running is probably not going to
be effective. Your best bet is to pile all the spell damage you can into
them - if you win you'll obtain an astronomical reward.
With all that money you'll be winning, you'll be able to buy things at the
armory in Guntz immediately. This stuff is the best that can be found until
about the FarmTown scenario. And after you reach FarmTown, you'll be able to
buy some MedusaSHs with all that money you saved up!
The MedusaSH is probably the most useful shield there is: It casts Atk-Up
(very nice), and is the strongest in terms of power. The MedusaSH can be
bought from Maniro on an island Fishspot. Getting to this island does not
require the ability to fly - as soon as you can get to Farmtown, you can
reach it - just bring along Jean and hop across the islands. If you're
having trouble triggering this Fishspot, remember that you need to enter a
battle from the same map section where the Fishspot is - refer to the map for
details. And, of course, you'll need to bring along a LOT of coins. A
MedusaSH costs 50k, and you'll probably want as many of them as there are
party members who can equip them. These can also be dropped on rare occasion
by N.Riders.
Boombada can be very difficult to obtain. You will be asked to play

accompaniment to a bell melody with a drum (button A), and a tuning fork
(button B). The melody is 8 beats to a measure, 4 measures long:
- - -........
_ _ __
........
___ _........
_-_........
The accompaniment you must play to this is:

-A-B-- A
........
_B_A__ B
........
___B_-AB
........
_-_-A A
........
If you manage to hit all the notes somewhere close to where they should be,
and don't play any extraneous notes, then you got it.
Holy weaponry can be a very useful thing to carry around in your inventory as
a backup plan, since there are a few locations which are populated mostly
with those pesky spirit creatures. Spirits take 1/2 damage from just about
anything that isn't holy, while holy damage counts double (a factor of 4
difference in effectiveness!). The SilverDR, SoleSD, WonderRP, ElmoreSD,
StarrSD, HolyRP, and NoTwinRP are all holy weapons, but most of them are
hard to come by.
The EmpireSD is by far the strongest weapon in BoF2. You can reach it as
soon as you can fly, but you'll need the CharmRod to have any luck fishing it
out. Don't forget to get it, because when you no longer have the ability to
fly the great bird, this Fishspot is off limits - TownShip can't get there
(by the way, this is the only location that the great bird can get to which
TownShip can't).
There is a treasure room in WindiaFt that can be difficult to get to. After
you have the great bird, return and the door will be unlocked.
The SkullBR can also be hard to find. I still don't know what it does, but
you can find if you jump off the left side of the top floor of St.EvaCh
instead of the right side where Habaruku jumps off.
Death is a wonderful spell. For creatures of magic susceptibility of 3 or 4,

it's a guaranteed kill. For 0 or higher, it still has a pretty good chance
of success. The WorthRG casts Death, and you may buy as many of these as you
like from Maniro, as soon as you can fly. Since anyone can use items which
cast spells, I suggest buying 2 or 3 of them and having them readily
available for use when fighting magic susceptible creatures. Just remember
that Death does not work at all in battles to the death, or against spirit
and undead creatures.
If you find the Ganet creature annoying, there's a simple way to defeat it.
Even though it has full immunity, this ability is not effective against
damage from items that cast spells, such as F.Spice, EmpireSD, StormRG,
Shaker, etc... And, any spell damage is more than enough to kill a Ganet.
When getting Anfini, all characters are automatically unbonded to all

shamans. Thus, when travelling down the tower of Infinity (the first time,
at least), you need not go to great lengths to keep your characters strong,
because it will all be for nought anyway.
The LifeBR seems to be the biggest secret in BoF2. You can only get it after
defeating Barubary, but even so it is worth the effort. Barubary will
challenge the hero to fight alone. If you accept and win, you will get a
hint as to where it is, but not how to reach it. You'll need to bring along
Katt and Sten for their special skills - it is in the same room in which you
defeat Barubary. The LifeBR is the only item in BoF2 which prevents Death.
As an added bonus, it also gives the wearer regeneration. Defeating Barubary
alone is not necessary to find this treasure, as Barubary only gives a hint
as to its location.
My last piece of advice is that there are 3 endings to BoF2. The ending you
see is not dependent on the carpenter you choose. The paths you can take
are:
1) You deny your destiny.
2) You fulfill your destiny.
3) You discover what the machine in the well in TownShip does, and
you fulfill your destiny.
================== Appendix 1: Percent to Binary conversion =================
Whenever you encounter a percent in a formula I have given, to get the exact
answer, do not multiply by (x/100), but instead by [x*256/100]/256. This is
used because the [x*256/100] value can be calculated beforehand and put into a
table, so that at runtime no division is necessary - it's all shift
operations. For percents above 100%, subtract multiples of 100% until it is
lower than 100% to find the binary fraction.
The fraction to use, n/256, is calculated in one of two ways:
1) if listed as (x)%, n = [x*256/100]
2) if listed as <(x)%, n = [x*256/100]-1
For example, 323% = 3 + 23% = 3 + [58.88]/256 = 3 + 58/256
and <75% = ([192]-1)/256 = 191/256
================ Appendix 2: Bof2's Random Number Generator =================

The random number generator that Bof2 uses is an 8-bit number computed
iteratively using a 16-bit seed number:
This is the iterative function:
WORD seed = 0xbbd1;
BYTE rand( )
{
WORD a = seed * 5;
a = (a << 8) + (a >> 8);
seed = (((seed + a) & 0xff)<<8) + (a & 0xff);
return a & 0xff;
}
This function produces an even, if not perfect distribution of random numbers.
It has a period of 41824 out of a possible 65536, before the sequence starts
repeating.
All slots are hit at least 143 times, but not more than 179 times during this
period, and the standard deviation from the average of 163 is about 1 part in
16. It's not bad. A a CRC-16 algorithm would have been better - the period
would be 65536, and the deviation from a perfect distribution would be 0, but
it computationally more expensive and takes a lot of tweaking to make the
output sequence look random.
Also, the seed number is updated by this function at least once per 1/60 sec.
For those not technically inclined, the gist of the above is that there is
little likelihood that changing your timing will affect your luck in any
reasonable way. The random number generator is solidly built and there's
nothing you can do to exploit it. If your not getting lucky, there's nothing
I advise you can do about it, it's just your lot in life.
