Detailed: On this final quest of the game, you have to kill all the monsters in all blocks which lead you into the last boss at the final block. 

It is highly suggested that you need to have achieved level 35 before you intend of facing the boss. 

If you are not then teleport back to the village by using a Town Portal scroll then make your way back to kill more monsters for the purpose of gaining experiences and level-up.

The final boss is the Dual-Head Giant and there are two different stages on how he attacks your character.

Stage 1:

This gigantic monster will be swinging his massive club in the aim of hitting you down. The only possible way of avoiding this kind of attack is to jump around the giant monster. 

After a few swings, he will perform his powerful combos which can be a three-way conical ice attack or an ice AOE (Area of Effect). 

Followed by his combo is a pause perhaps to catch his breath out of exhaustion. Take this opportunity to hit him hard. Your first hit will stun the giant allowing you to inflict 4 to 6 more damages.

At some point, the Dual-Head giant may simply stand at one point then simply summon a valley of meteor spells which can stun your character. 

Your quickness to move is the key to avoid being hit by the meteors but if you are unlucky to be stunned then you will probably die. To stop him from casting meteors, you can either hit him or just wait for him to stop.

Stage 2:

If you have managed to reduce his HP at about 25 percent, you will notice that his speed increases and summons a lot of ghost for your distraction. 

His method of attack is the same but this time, stunning him will be a bit difficult. Thus, you must have brought a lot of Attack, Defense and Magic Defense potions. 

Through the use of an Attack Potion, your Berserk Skill and your Tier 3 Ability, you will be able to inflict huge damage against the giant.

Arcuz Monster Database

On your adventure in the land of Sakara, you will be encountering various kinds of monsters especially hunting them down for the completion of your missions. 

Some are weak wherein they are good for training your combat level up but monster from the deeper portion of the land are quite tough that you need to have the best weapon and armor equipped.

Here are the following lists of monsters that you will be dealing with on your adventure:

Slimes

The Green Slimes are the weakest among all of the monsters (higher-level Slimes consists of different colors such as Orange, Yellow and Blue). 

This makes them perfect for beginners to train combat. What you have to avoid when dealing with them is when they gained their elemental attack and learned how to perform jump. 

The most troubling part is when a group surrounds and attacks you at the same time. Most gamers refer into this kind of situation as ‘mob’.

To avoid getting mobbed by the Slimes, it is best to perform Jump-Attack.

Wolves

The wolves will often attack your character by crouching then making a huge leap and the damage could be large enough to reduce your health bar into half. 

If you are not careful enough and you do not have tough defenses to reduce the damage then there are possible chances that your character will be defeated. 

Anyway, you can avoid its leaping-attack by making a strike of 2 to 3 times with your normal attacks then you need to back-off. Another method to counter its attack is to perform the Jump-Attack.

Hornets

You may find it hard to slay the hornets but it will be easy if you know the trick. 

The good part about hunting them is that they provide more experience than the other monsters with higher levels which makes them the perfect target for increasing your level. 

A good method to hunt the Hornets down is to Jump then strike with your normal attack. This will send the hornet down into the ground then you have to follow-up with your combo-chain strike. 

However, there are some instances where you are going to encounter group of hornets and you have to face them with the same method. 

You just have to keep on jumping in different directions where you can hit two or three of your targets with just one swing of your weapon.

Goblins

There are three different types of goblins that you will encounter in some part of the land which are the Warriors, Archers and Mages.

The Warriors are the weakest type of their kind where you can beat them with similar strategy as of the Slimes.

Archers use bows and they can fire their arrows in eight different directions. You can easily defeat them if you manage to stay out of their range then attack by jumping towards them.

Mages should be your primary target because they can inflict large amount of damage when you got hit by them. The best method to beat them is to use your Jump-Attack.

Centaurs

They are the toughest type of monster that you will encounter on your adventure. Their attacks will push you away where you cannot hit them with your normal strikes. 

The only possible means of getting close is to Jump-Attack then perform your continuous chain of combos. This method will not work when you are facing more than one centaur.

Ogres

If you are already facing these types of monsters then you are now on your way towards the final boss. 

Anyway, they have two types of an attack which are the Normal Swing and the Short Charge that can hit you with multiple damages. 

The key in trying to beat them requires timing where you have to wait to perform their attack and at the same time leap for a Jump-Attack with the aim of hitting their backs.

Skeletons

The important part that you need to avoid about the Skeletons is their elemental weapons. 

It is highly recommended that you should fight them with skills where you can surely take them down just like the other monsters that you have encountered in the beginning of your adventure.

Ghosts

Are you afraid of ghosts? If yes then it’s too sad to say that you cannot complete the game because you will be encountering a lot of ghosts. 

You will find them flying around your screen in circling moving in and out of your range. 

The threat of encountering them is that they generate multiple copies of themselves but you have nothing to worry about because the copies are weaker than the original. 

Just keep on swinging your weapon and you will be able to clear them all.

Two-Head Giant

He is the final boss holding a massive club as his main weapon. You won’t be able to perform any attacks against him when you are being chased around the area. 

The trick is to stay away within his range of attacks by jumping around his sides. 

This Two-Headed Giant is really a tough boss where all you can do is to avoid most of his attacks until to the point that he needs to pause for a moment to recharge. Take this opportunity to inflict your best multiple amount of damages.

NPC Characters

1. Chief Wayne

He is the head of the village and the first NPC that you will encounter upon the start of the game. Interacting with the chief for the first-time, he will tell you that his invocation last night worked then followed by his old-time story since he was a kid. 

He will tell you that Arcuz Village was the most peaceful village of the land where people lived with very happy lives. 

Anyway, Wayne will be telling you how the disaster had all started and he will ask you to stay for a couple of days to see if you could do something to help them out.

2. Landlord Zack

He is the owner of the village with high aspirations. Due to his good ambitions, he was able to flourish the village but not until when he secluded himself inside his house to do some kind of research. He has not come out ever since then suddenly terrible monsters appeared around the village.

3. Gran (Blacksmith)

He is a Blacksmith who is good at making various kinds of weapons. From the very start of the game, you are offered by Gran 3 different types of weapons to choose from. 

They are the Falchion, Sword and Axe. Anyway, the next time that you come back into his shop he will offer you more equipment such as shields and armors.

In contrast to Chung’s Shop, Gran offers two of the highest-level set of items without any stat-modifiers. 

The difference is that, his items are only beneficial for beginners who don’t have enough money but wanted to increase their level relatively quick. You can visit Gran’s Shop for new set of items for every 5 levels increased you made. E.g. 7, 12, 16 and so on…

4. Susan (Witch)

She is the Apothecary of the village wherein she specializes in making various kinds of potions. For beginners, Susan will sell you the small-sized Potion of Healing.

Town Portal Scrolls are also available on her shop which can be used to instantly teleport you back into the village.

5. Chung (Merchant)

‘Money and precious stuff are everything’ which is according to Chung the Merchant. Whether you agree or not, money does play an important role on everyone’s life. 

Anyway, Chung offers a lot of items on his shop. You can buy from him Weapons, Armors and Accessories.

The items that he sells are the highest set of levels that are available on your character’s current stats and this still includes the normal number of composes left that can be made for enhancement. Actually, the stats on his items are bonuses which make them as the best Equipment, Weapon and Accessories in the game. 

However, you may not find his items cheap but quite expensive. As a matter of fact, buying your items from Chung is cheaper as compared to making the same exact item yourself.

6. Paul (Sorehead Knight)

Your first encounter with Paul is that he will ask you to leave the land as soon as possible. This is due to the reason that you are feeling a bit over-proud of yourself by killing 10 Slimes. 

Thus, he will immediately give you a mission to kill wolves. On the later part of the game, Paul will give you an access into his 5x8 Storage Container. You can use this storage to store items that you could no longer contain in your own personal Inventory.

7. Anna (Little Girl)

You will find Anna just a few distances below Wayne. There’s nothing much interesting about her but her nice hair and often asks you to play games provided that you are not busy.

8. Kimura (Ranger)

He claims that he once slain an evil dragon with an eyes as big as a cave. Other than that, he also claims that he once stole God’s apple wherein he had to fight his way through against the gods. This is what makes him a famous adventurer who came from a great family of warriors. 

Do you believe him or not?

The Story Behind the Dark

It all started a long time ago in the land of Sakara particularly at the west-side which is presently known as the Arcuz Village. 

The place used to be rich and flourishing which makes the people lived happily and peacefully on their daily life-style. 

Due to their cozy life-style, they had forgotten about the Dark Age when the Devil of the Abyss (Ssyba) was awakened from the underground and brought horror and darkness throughout the entire land. 

Fortunately, a group of mighty heroes manages to seal Ssyba in the deepest place of the dungeon.

However, it was recently reported that strange things began to happen again. Animals from the forest are aggressively attacking the villagers. 

Other than the animals are also the appearances of the terrible monsters. This caused most of the villagers to flee from the disaster while others are still suffering in the hope that everything might return to normal.

You as a hero who is in search for an adventure have heard about this torrid affair and went immediately into the village. Thus, your exciting quests and adventures start here…

The first map will show you the location of all villages while the second map will show you a closer view which is in the form of blocks.

At first, you will find your map (block) empty wherein they only appear when you go around and visit the spots. 

You will also notice that there are blocks that have either blue or pink colors. For the blue blocks, these are entrances connecting into another village. As for the pink blocks, these are your target destination for accomplishing your assigned tasks.

Inventory:

Your Inventory is primarily used for storing items that you obtain as you go out on the field killing monsters and opening treasure chests. 

You can store items such as weapons, armors, stones and etc… but there are some limitations that you need to know about. You are limited into 3 pages of slots and the value called ‘Encumbrance’. 

The encumbrance is the maximum weight that your character can store in his inventory. If you have exceeded beyond the limit then the movement of your character will turn very slow. Anyway, you can increase the value of your encumbrance by improving your strength.

Hit Point:

It also stands for ‘Health’ or ‘Life’ points which denote how your character can withstand damages against his opponents. Here on Arcuz 2 Game, your Hit Point is in the form of a red horizontal bar located at the bottom part of your screen. 

On your CHAR menu, it shows you the exact amount of Hit Points that you have in numbers. What is important for you to know is when your Hit Point reduces to zero then your character will eventually die.

Skill Point:

SP is used for casting or activating your Spell Battle skills. Just like your HP, the status of your Skill Point is in the form of a horizontal bar located just below the Hit Point bar. The only difference is the color the bar which is green.

Armor:

The number tells you your resistance against damages. Thus, the higher number that you have on this particular stat means that you will absorb less physical damages from your opponents.

Magic Resist:

There are some monsters that posses the skill to use magic in the form of thunder, fire, poison and ice. If you have high Magic Resistance then you chances of being hit by these spells is low.

Experience:

XP can only be gained by slaying monsters. Once you have reached a certain value of total experiences, your character’s level will increase. 

For each level increased, you will be rewarded with 5 Capacity Point (CP) and 1 Ability Point (AP). It’s all up for you to decide to spend these points on your character’s Strength, Agility, Constitution or Luck.

Points Remaining:

These are unassigned CP points.

Strength – Benefits of adding CP

Damage: 1 CP will increase your Damage by +1.

Encumbrance: 1 CP will increase your Encumbrance by +5.

Agility – Benefits of adding CP

Battle Skill:

You won’t be able to last long enough fighting powerful bosses or hoards of monsters if you do not use your special Battle Skills. 

These special combat skills are divided into two which are categorized into Active and Passive. Active skills are those that can be performed by your character on the battle field while the Passive skills works in an invisible manner like HP recovery.

Activating a certain Battle Skill can be done by spending your Ability Point (AP). If you have earned more AP points then you can either increase the level of your chosen skill or enable the other inactive skills on your list. 

For complete details about the skills, simply drag your cursor over the skill-button of your choice and the information will be shown.

Passive Buff:

Improve Loading – A skill that allows you to hold more items on your inventory. It might seem useful but you will find it completely a waste of points during the middle part of the game. 

This is because you will soon have enough encumbrances to carry your load of items.

Counterattack – Another useless skill wherein the Active Buff version is a lot more preferred to use than this one.

Increase HP and SP Recovery Speed – Regenerate a small amount of your HP and SP points.

Increase All Attributes – All your attributes will have +5 bonuses. So if you are at level 35 then enabling this skill makes your character equivalent to level 40.

Active Buffs:

Berserk – A great skill which doubles that amount of damage you make.

Speedup – Activating this skill allows you to move at as faster rate than normal.

Holy Light – It works by doubling your HP/SP and if you died while it’s active, you will be revived at full HP and SP. (After being resurrected, you will lose the buff.)

Active Skills:

Hurricane/Hurricane II – Wonderful skill which is perfect for dealing a crowd of monsters. It is actually a type of an attack that affects all nearby enemies to be thrown out away from your character. 

The difference between the two is that Hurricane II deals larger amount of damages by sucking-in the monsters for the second time before throwing them away.
