StarOcean: How to Get Albel in 4D space
Posted on: July 10, 2008, at 03:39:04pm

I knwo the game is knida old. I've had it for a while, but never got into it until I heard about Albel XD Heard and saw. That gaunlet won me over ocmpletely.

For those of you who like Albel as much as I do (I mean, c'mon...he's awesome!). Don't invite Pepitta. I don't know if Roger will make a difference. I'll tell you on my second time around with the game after I beat it with Albel XD. So tell Pepitta NUUUUUU and then go to Elicoor II ASAP. Go to Kirlsa and Woltar will be like 'blah blah...Albel's training'. Then head to the Urssa Lava Caves and beat him the first time--he's in the room where Corsell is, if you're confused XD. You know..Corsell the Marquis? I hope you remember. It wasn't that long ago. If not, go straight ahead and you'll find a door at the very end--but it's blocked by a Magma...monster thing, so if you don't see it immidiately...it's there. It's not mandatory to fight it. In fact, I recommend not to--for the sake of items and such. Albel isn't an easy battle.

My method is time consuming, but it works, even with low items. Wait for non-fury attacks ( when he's no turning all purple) and let him hit you with your guard at 100%. He'll be stunned. Don't just do that though. Attack when convienant and shotgun blast and sidekick is extremely helpful. But when Albel uses Charge, use the Guard method I previously mentioned. Again, it takes a bit of time, but it guarantees your vicotry. Also heal yourself periodically...but that shoudl be obvious. Before your battle, be sure to stock up on blue and blackberries.

Get lots of money too, but that's for future reference. In 4D space, everything is really expensive. I spent 360000 on the Titanium Claw, which is really powerful XD Almsot every weapon is 360000 +, so SAVE UP!

If you wait to go to Elicoor (and this is true, I read this in the FAQs), Albel will get stronger and harder to defeat, so just go and get him.
