Guards (spoilers, I guess)

[HyperSonicSpeed]

I'm fighting the guards after Jopaga tells me to follow that cloaked man. The yare insanely powerful and wipe me out in about 3-4 turns. What can I do to beat them with ease?

[Sage Of The Wise]

Well, get Slade if you dont have him. If you do, you might just want to do a bunch of side quests, you ca nget a lot of notch items that way.

Yeah like Sonic said maybe you're not powerful enough.

As for battle strategies, the guards are weak against shadow so use the shadow sword or any shadow skills.

Use Sacrifa's elemental field to protect your party against the guard's air attacks.

is there any possible way to get your other characters stronger? They take way too much damage.

My favorite way to do it was first have Rhue use Flux XL ,or whatever its called, to Lexus, Then have Rhue and Lexus channel their aura's into each other, the bab, two side guards are dead and all you have to deal with is the Big dude. But if your stuck on the first two well, go do alot of Side missions, absorb all notch items. Oh yea you need lexus to do this

Hell, I have to start over again because I went back into the mine and hopped on the cart. It took me into the second part of the mine and I rode it on from there, just like the ifrst time, but now when I go to the next map it's pitch black. Is there a way to go back?
