[Eternal Ordeal]

Is there anybody who Dolph's Duel guide? He is a bit tricky.

[Kirin]

One of the walkthrough FAQs up at GameFaqs.com has most (but not all) of his lines listed. I can't remember which one, sorry, but just look near the end of the walkthrough section.

[SOe]

I got Mega medicine for beating Nikea without receiving any hit from her..
Does this mean that we'll get something extra for winning the duel 'perfectly'? or is it only applicable for the duel with Nikea?
i've never got a 'perfect' with the other duels.
So please anybody can confirm the 'reward' thing for me

[SuikoMJM]

This may be common knowledge, but I'll post it anyway. It seems appropriate for this topic.

An easy way to simplify duels is to recognize all of an opponent's Special lines, instead of trying to recognize everything. You should only use Defend or Attack in your arsenal and ignore your Special move altogether.

When you hear a line that you recognize, it means that your opponent is using a Special and you should Guard to counter-attack it. When you hear a line that you don't recognize, it means that your opponent is either Guarding or Attacking, and you should respond with an Attack.

One of two things will happen:

1) You Attack when your opponent Guards, thus striking him/her.

2) You Attack when your opponent Attacks, getting into a button mashing contest. Save for the last two duels in the game, these button mashing contests are easy to win and result in you taking no damage while dealing damage to your opponent. You can win the button mashing contests in the last two duels in the game, but you actually need to be on edge and make an effort.

This way, instead of recognizing in excess of 10-15 lines of dialogue, you only need to recognize 3-5 lines, making the already easy duels even easier. That, and you only need to respond with two moves, as opposed to three.

I found alternating between attack and special attack useful, you'll only really get hit if they guard all the time, but even then attack beats guard so its all good, if you get deadlocked then thats easy just a case of tapping square, x, and circle as fast as you can.

[WuYung]

For Dolph::

Attack: In your condition, this should be enough to do you in.
Attack: Well well, what a surprise, I didn't think you'd be able to counter
that!
Special: Still standing huh? Will you be able to handle this?
Special: You did very well, I guess I should stop going easy on you. . .
Defense: Let me give you the chance to realise the shape you're in . . .
Defense: The more time you waste the more pain you'll be in you know!



I just generally memorize the first word and then generate patterns in my head for quick responses...

[Pyriel]

This covers everything: http://www.herrvillain.com/codebreaker/ ... lguide.txt

As I recall, duel 10 is the special battle if you make a certain choice at your headquarters late in the game, but I never got around to updating the document.

[KFCrispy]

hmm, i don't think anyone's ever gotten that duel... i can't tell who it is based on the dialogs.

[Pyriel]

If memory serves, it's Childerich vs. Roy when you decide to defend your castle rather than flee. I assume he's rather more eloquent since he didn't use that black rune thing, or whatever it was.

[SuikoMJM]

Dark Arcanum.

...good stuff. The guide that is, not the Dark Arcanum.

...or is it Raging Nostrum? I think Dark Arcanum is supposed to knock you out.

[ShakenMike]

I wish the official guide has this setup for the Duels like this.

[KFCrispy]

I wish the official guide has this setup for the Duels like this.

official guides are usually extremely rushed and they don't even spell-check. they are near useless in value.

[ShakenMike]

This time I don't need to use the official guide all all during the duels this time because I'm trying to replay the game without using a guide.
