DWM meme route idea - All of Queen of Greattree's Rewards (And then beat the game) Could be an interesting run, but it's unfortunately optimal to get all the monsters and then show them to her all at once. Not great for presentation, we don't see her request and then go find it. Queen of Greattree Rewards: 1 Wingslime Sirloin Recruitable in arena gate 2 Kingslime INTseed Boss of Medal Man gate (13 medals (7 random drops), also gives ZapBird) Slime+4 + Slime SpotKing + [Several] 3 FloraJay AGLseed Recruitable in Gate of Wisdom, top two floors 20%, rest of dungeon 30%.

Replace Icebolt with IceSlash and ditch Beat. Time for Arena gate. A lot of this section is asynchronous. ======== GOALS: Recruit seven FT monsters, two wild monsters, one boss Acquire enough meats for those recruits, and the remaining recruits later. Acquire minimum 18k gold for arena entry fees (C, A, S), egg blessings, and a ShinyHarp Note, the queen gives you 7500 gold after this, plenty for Reflection prep and final blessings Foreign Tamer Meat Merchant Loop: Pick up one wing, four holy waters, four bookmarks, BeastTail. Store or sell everything else. First two loops have variations on this Save before entering gate. Take 200 steps on first floor without picking up items If you pick up an item (staves), use floor 3 or 4. Don't bother using a floor that preceeds a factor-of-3 floor, or you'll have to reset over special floors. While taking your steps, make sure there are at least two items on the floor. Priests seem to show up if there's only one. Easy way to count 200 steps is to walk until you recover 20 MP. Bookmark before descending Reset until next floor has a meat merchant Bookmark before fighting merchant Reset until you get Good Meats from the merchant (or the recruit you're looking for) Drop to floor 3, 4, 6, or 7, and take 200 more steps to get another merchant. Wing out and repeat. You want to pick up any staves, Elfwater, etc you find in this segment, too. Pick up items on the floors that have the merchant tamers as you're repelling. Consider picking up staves you see on first floor, and reset if they're warpstaves, or if they're valuable drop to floor 3-4 to take your 200 steps. Meat note - Ignoring the "rib" on "Sir+Rib" recruits. Use only if you have extras. Total meats needed for this section: 8-10 Sirloins, 5 Ribs Meats needed for final recruits: 3 Sirloins, 6 Ribs, 4 Porkchops Total meats needed to finish run: 11-13 Sirloins, 11 Ribs, 4 Porkchops Between gates, sell or bank all meats except where noted (keep a Sirloin to recruit) Banking Badmeats is faster than dropping them Can also bank jerky, chops if you don't need money Note levels are tight at the start - Do not fight any extra random encounters before recruiting both "19-38" FT monsters. ======== First Arena Gate loop - Buy two wings, two repellants, two bookmarks. Defeat one FT merchant just for meats and XP. Could also use the Farm gate for this one, item distribution is roughly the same Go recruit a Slime [Sirloin+] from Beginner and bank it. Watch FloraJay's XP, banked Slime hits 10 after it gains 7542 XP (not quite level 21) Second Arena Gate loop Buy one wing, 3-4 repellants, four bookmarks Bank or sell all meat except one Sirloin At total party levels 19-38, recruit from foreign tamers: IceMan [Rib] (Use Sirloin if 1st recruit) Slimeborg [Sir+Rib] Must get first recruit on floor 2, 2nd on floor 4 or 5. DO NOT use a repellent before fighting 2nd merchant if on floor 5. Getting more XP here is good. Recruit Wingslime [2 Rib] (#1) on floors 1-5 Recruit MedusaEye [2 Rib] on floors 4-8 Recruit Digster boss Breed Slime + Hale = Slime +3 (Gender opposite Wingslime) Breed Dragon + Battlerex = GreatDrak (gender opposite MedusaEye) Third Arena Loop: Bank or sell all meat except one Sirloin. Take a random encounter to level Slime to get total party level > 39 At total party levels 39-58, recruit: CurseLamp (#4) [Sir+Rib] Metaly (#5) [2-4 Sir!!] (Recruit from 2nd merchant in loop so you have more Sirloins) LavaMan [Sir+Rib] (Opposite IceMan) WildApe (#6) [Sir+Rib] Phoenix (#9) [Sir+Rib] (Opposite Blizzardy) Continue down the gate, collecting items and getting Slime to Level 10 Swap Slime for Wingslime, and show it to the Queen. Breed Slime + Wingslime = Slime +4 (Gender opposite Slime #2) Fourth Loop: Bring one Sirloin Get two more recruits Grind/look for items until FloraJay hits 21 (Farm Slime hits 10) Bring Slime + Slime = Kingslime (#2) Show Kingslime, FloraJay Breed FloraJay with May's Rayburn to make Whipbird Fifth Loop: Bring one Sirloin (four if you need the Metal Slime) Get the final FT recruit Try to get Whipbird/Kingslime to level 12-13 so that the Greatdrak hits 10 Collect more items as needed Clear C Class ezilly pzilly Party is Blizzardy, Whipbird, KingSlime Breed Iceman + Lavaman = GoldGolem (#15) (Do not hatch) Breed GreatDrak + MedusaEye = Orochi (Opposite SkyDragon gender) Show Curselamp, WildApe, Metaly FARM LIMIT IS AN ISSUE, 20 INCLUDING PARTY Need eight open slots. Party + Farm <= 12 + Extras (Demonite, Plant). Should need to sleep four monsters. Sleep WildApe, Metaly, Skydragon, Golem Buy four WarpWings, four bookmarks Final Recruits: Gate of Talisman: Recruit Spooky [Rib] from any floor Gate of Memory: Recruit Dragonkid [Rib] on top floor (Female or opp Curselamp) Recruit MadCat boss Gate of Bravery: Recruit Demonite [Porkchop] and 1EyeClown [Porkchop] from top floors With MadKnight (M), one must oppose Spooky's gender. Recruit BeanMan [Porkchop] or FloraMan [Rib] from top floors (Only need one, for Rosevine later) Recruit Saberman [Porkchop] from floors 4-5 (opposite Slimeborg Gender) Take Saberman with? It wasn't a high enough level last run. Are Demonite and 1EyeClown a high enough level? Wing out Gate of Wisdom: Double check that you have three farm slots (Pause menu should say FARM 14 or less) Recruit two Armorpedes [Rib x2, Sirloin+ for 2nd] (Floors 6-14, Only 10% to encounter) Must oppose devils' genders Recruit Pteranod [Rib] (Female or opp Curselamp) Wing out For the remaining grinds, use arena gate if <20k gold, else use Wisdom or Temptation. Use Whipbird to grind two monsters at a time. Breed 2x Armorpede + DevilFM = HornBeet (#7) (opposite genders) Hatch 1st HornBeet, check gender & take with Breed Spooky + DevilFM for Reaper (#8) Breed DragonFM + CurseLamp = Swordgon (Opposite Reaper) Breed Saberman + Slimeborg = Roboster (Female) Breed DragonFM + Digster = Spikerous (Female) Pull all monsters out of sleep except WildApe and Metaly Show HornBeet, Reaper, Phoenix [Last monsters you can show before postgame] Grind Swordgon, Spikerous, until Reaper hits 10 Eight fights in Arena gate? After five, Reaper needed 170 XP. TODO: How much XP? Breed Reaper + Swordgon = Skullgon Breed Spikerous + Golem = MetalDrak (Opposite Kingslime gender) Clear A Class w/ WhipBird + Kingslime + Blizzardy Pretty free, Mixed on second round can help (Sleep, Surround) If Whipbird isn't level 20 yet, swap Blizzardy for GoldGolem and grind for it in Labyrinth. Put Blizzardy back in for S Class match Get free StoneMan from May, gender opposite GoldGolem & decent HP (240 min, 300 max; get 260+?) Clear S Class Blast 1st fight offensively All Mixed first round of 2nd fight, hope Stopspell hits Slime but it should at least hit Dracky Final fight, put all on Cautious until Metaldrak takes out at least one opponent. Sell all meats except two Sirloins and a Rib Optional third Rib to reduce Mimic's WLD Buy a ShinyHarp Enter Judgment gate with Whipbird, Kingslime, GoldGolem Recruit SpotKing [Sirloin+Rib] from Judgment gate (opposite Skullgon) Grind until GoldGolem 14 (StrongD), use Labyrinth if you have to leave Judgment Breed GoldGolem + StoneMan = GoldGolem 2.0 Breed Skullgon + SpotKing = WhiteKing (#10) [13] Breed Kingslime + MetalDrak = MetalKing (Opposite WhiteKing gender) [15] Breed Blizzardy + Phoenix = Rainhawk (#12) [7] Breed HornBeet^2 = Armorpion (#13) [9] Grind new GoldGolem until level 20 Grind with just Whipbird + GoldGolem Do most of the grinding in Labyrinth, but dive Reflection at some point to find a Mimic. Immediately bench the Mimic until it's time to fight Durran Are Mimics common enough that you can rely on finding one in the main Reflection dive? I haven't run Any% in a while. Bank ShinyHarp, sell anything else you don't need for Reflection Inventory should be: BeastTail Bookmark x2-3 Repellent x6-8 Mapherb Sage's Stone? Elfwater? Leaves/Dews to fill Reflection: Save before entering Recruit a Mimic if you don't have one yet Floor 1, use Mapherb + Repellent. If not 16 screen floor, reset. Else, bookmark at hole. Floor 2, Repellent, find+fight wizard Floor 22-28, repel/Warpstaff to hole Optionally bookmark floor 26 to get special floor on 27 Bookmark before Durran Durran: Let Mimic bully servants/Terry with Blazemost until out of MP. GoldGolem can summon Tatsu though it's expensive. Whipbird heals and LureDances. Defense on Durran and/or Terry. Starry Tournament: This team is a little stronger than the standard Any% teams. Play it like normal, finish fight 2 with as much HP as possible and then defend the first turn. After Megamagic, let Mimic do Mimic things (Defeat can kill Coatol and Rainhawk) Pretty free once one of them is down.

Plus the chances of finding a LifeNut in Bazaar (1% per item) Saw someone do this in Any% to beat C Class. Solo-grinded Dragon in bazaar gate until 1 fight past level 9, then re-dove with birds. 17 mins from dragon recruit to Pash recruit. Bring Dracky to put FairyDrak to sleep? Saw someone do this in any%, it died second round of fight 2 Utilize post-game gates Extinction - Lionex, Grendel, Ogre, GoatHorn Sleep - Skullgon, DarkCrab, Skeletor, DeadNoble Bazaar #2 - Balzack, MetalDrak, Roboster, Bombcrag [Need TatsuCall, GoldGolem or Whipbird, DO NOT LOSE MONSTER] Goopi #3 - WildApe, Grizzly, Yeti, IronTurt, GulpBeast, Trumpeter, Unicorn Old Man - Need to show Goldslime, recruit GreatDrak for Orochi? (Not easier than Wrex + Dran) Alternate Breed Paths: Early thought was to recruit several monsters from high-level FTs. Likely slower than this route. 2 KingSlime: SpotKing (Judgment, FT 1-18 (5)) + Unicorn (Beast + Fangslime), Gigantes (Devil + Material + Zombie), et al Current route breeds Slib + Fangslime, + Hale, + Wingslime, + Slime. Skips Slime recruit and two breeds. 4 CurseLamp: WingTree (Strength, Rib) + Material (Golem) 6 WildApe from post-game gate (Means you get the books later, though) 8 Reaper from low level FT Need Sirloin Saves catching Spooky (Talisman re-dive) and one devil (1EyeClown or Demonite) --- Post-Game Line 10 WhiteKing: Boneslave from Peace (FangSlime) or Sleep (Esturk) + KingSlime Boneslave is only level 7 but easy recruit (3, rib) Can also recruit Skullgon or Deadnoble from Sleep but they're harder recruits (5, Sirloin+Rib) 11 KingLeo: Madcat + Roboster from Bazaar #2. Skips Saberman and Slimeborg. Unsure this is a huge time save? Jump to Bazaar#2 lv 21 instead of one more meat merchant + level Saberman. 14 Rosevine: Post-game, recruit Skeletor (Breed w/ Milayou = Servant) and Andreal or GreatDrak for Dracolord. Probably use Dran+Wrex for this one, and recruit Andreal for Divinegon Alternate Servant: WhiteKing + DevilFM (Saves trip into Sleep) Alternate Servant: Recruit one of Durran's... THIS SKIPS SO MUCH - Don't need MetalDrak, saves DragonFM + Digster + Material breeds KingSlime can be used for WhiteKing instead of SpotKing (saves recruit) Don't need to level WhiteKing and MetalKing to 10 Way fewer breeds for RV, but still need to make WhiteKing. Hard to compare reduced steps because RV monsters and WK monsters can level up all at once. Old: Slib + Fang + Hale + Wing + Slime + MetalDrak + WhiteKing + Plant New: Anteater + Fang + SpotKing + Boneslave makes WhiteKing Dran + Wrex + Servant + Plant makes Rosevine 15 GoldGolem: Not really negotiable. LavaMan and IceMan both require MetalDrak (or Roboster for Ice). 16 Divinegon: Post-game, recruit Andreal or GreatDrak? (If Wrex/Dran can be used elsewhere) WhipBird + Dragon = GreatDrak New Route: Wingslime: Arena Recruit Kingslime: FT 1-18 SpotKing + Unicorn (Anteater + Fangslime) FloraJay: Breed Main Bird (Dracky) with FaceTree boss CurseLamp: FT 38-49 Metaly: FT 38-49 WildApe: FT 38-49 HornBeet (x2): 2x Armorpede + 2x DevilFM (MadKnight) Reaper: FT 1-18 Phoenix: FT 19-49 WhiteKing: Peace Boneslave + Kingslime KingLeo: MadCat + Bazaar#2 Roboster Rainhawk: (Phoenix) + Picky + Teto's Iceman Armorpion: (Hornbeet x2) Rosevine: Durran Servant + (Dran + Wrex) + (PlantFM) GoldGolem: FT 19-38 IceMan + FT 39-58 LavaMan Divinegon: Skydragon Egg + ((WhipBird + DragonFM) + MedusaEye) WhipBird: Dracky + Mick's LizardMan + Mick's DeadNite + FaceTree boss + May's Rayburn Used Monsters: (x = present in route, * = bred into something else) x Slime (Slib) x * Dracky x * Anteater x Healer (Hale) x * Golem (Golm) x * Gremlin [I guess] x * Dragon (Dran) x * Picky x * MadKnight (Pash) x * FaceTree (Face) x * Battlerex (Wrex) x * WingSlime x * SpotKing x Metaly x WildApe x * Armorpede x2 x * DevilFM x Reaper x * Phoenix x * Boneslave x * MadCat x * IceMan x * LavaMan x CurseLamp x * SkyDragon x * DragonFM x * MedusaEye x * PlantFM x * Servant x * Roboster -- Leftover "Request" Monsters: (intermediate breeds left out) WhiteKing KingLeo Rainhawk Armorpion Rosevine GoldGolem Divinegon Team: Whipbird + GoldGolem + Servant (Skip A Class/May's Stoneman?)

Add first three to team: Breed MadCat + Roboster = KingLeo (#11) Breed Blizzardy + Phoenix = RainHawk (#12) Breed Hornbeet + Hornbeet = Armorpion (#13) Breed PlantFM + Dracolord = Rosevine (#14) Breed SkyDragon + Orochi = Divinegon (#16) Show KingLeo, Rainhawk, Armorpion (Use last Wing) Back to farm, grab Rosevine, GoldGolem, Divinegon Show Rosevine, GoldGolem, Divinegon Scratch notes for v2.3 bird breeding paths (No GoldGolem grind, need better Blizzardy) - Current (v2.1): Dracky + LizardMan = Wyvern [After E] Sleep, Antidote, Heal, [StrongD] Wyvern + DeadNite = MadGoose [After D] LureDance MadGoose + FaceTree = FloraJay [After Anger] StopSpell, Speed >:( FloraJay + Rayburn = WhipBird [After 3rd dive] HP Picky + IceMan = Blizzardy [After E] Sap, Surround, StrongD, Ice Breath Blizzardy + Yeti = Blizzardy [After A] WarCry 6 breeds, no StrongD on WhipBird. 1.0 route with an extra Blizzardy breed (more HP + WarCry + another StopSpell) Dracky gives SleepAll and Antidote Picky gives Sap and Surround Digster gives better stats than Golem but its gender is RNG Bird + IceMan = Blizzardy Blizzardy + DeadNite = MadGoose MadGoose + Golem = WhipBird Heal, LureDance, StrongD, Guardian, Ice Breath Bird + LizardMan = Wyvern [D -> Anger] Wyvern + FaceTree = FloraJay [A] FloraJay + Yeti/Metaly = Blizzardy [S -> End] Heal, WarCry, Ice Breath, Stopspell 6 breeds, no StrongD on Blizzardy 7 breed option - FloraJay breeds with Rayburn, move Blizzardy breed to postgame Trades WarCry for WhipBird HP Alternate: Bird + LizardMan = Wyvern [After E Class] Wyvern + DeadNite = MadGoose [After D Class] MadGoose + Golem = WhipBird [After Dive 2] Heal, LureDance, StrongD, Ice Breath Bird + IceMan = Blizzardy [After E Class] Blizzardy + FaceTree = FloraJay [After Anger] FloraJay + Rayburn = WhipBird [After Dive 3] WhipBird + Yeti/Metaly = Blizzardy [Immediate Postgame] StrongD, Guardian, StopSpell, Ice Breath 7 breeds, Blizzardy gains HP but loses WarCry and Heal Alternate 2: Bird + Catfly = BullBird [After E Class] BullBird + DeadNite = MadGoose [After D Class] MadGoose + Golem = WhipBird [After Dive 2] Heal, LureDance, StrongD, Ice Breath Bird + LizardMan = Wyvern [After E Class] Gives Heal Wyvern + IceMan = Blizzardy [After D Class] Gives StrongD Blizzardy + FaceTree = FloraJay [After Anger] Needed for Queen, gives Stopspell FloraJay + Yeti = Blizzardy [After A Class] Needed for Queen, gives Stopspell/WarCry Heal, StrongD, Guardian, StopSpell, Ice Breath, WarCry 7 breeds, no complaints. Blizzardy should have ~250 HP at 20 if Jay hits 20. Use Dracky for 1st bird, Picky for 2nd. vs 1.0 path: No gold golem grind (1-14, 1-20) or Pete breed, if female BigRoost joins can use it for FloraJay Add Catfly breed and Yeti breed, weaker start for Anger, grind Whipbird to 16 in Arena, 20 post-A. Also a thought - Recruit another bird to be the blizzardy (Bazaar BigRoost) & breed 2nd bird with Pete = WhipBird. Before S class, still grind 1st bird to 20, 2nd bird gets to 16 (HealAll). Durran pushes second bird past 20 (HealUs!). 3rd monster for Servant fight is Kingslime instead of Pete? Not great. WhipBird B could be bred into WhiteKing in place of KingSlime, or another Andreal/GreatDrak. BirdFM recruit instead of DragonFM recruit? Really don't need HealAll if we're getting HealUs... !! Can't incorporate FloraJay into Bird 2 or it won't make WhipBird!! Recruit the FloraJay [rib]. Skip FaceTree. Alternate 3: Dracky + Lizardman = Wyvern [After E Class] Sleep, Antidote, Heal, Ice Breath Wyvern + DeadNite = MadGoose [After D Class] Heal, LureDance MadGoose + Golem = WhipBird [After Dive 2] StrongD Picky + IceMan = Blizzardy [After E Class] Sap, Surround, StrongD, Ice Breath Blizzardy + Pete = WhipBird [After A Class] HealUs OR Picky + CatFly = BullBird [After E Class] Sap, Surround, StopSpell, Upper BullBird + IceMan = Blizzardy [After D Class] StrongD, Ice Breath Blizzardy + Pete = WhipBird [After A Class] HealUs FloraJay + Yeti = Blizzardy [After A Class] Recruit FloraJay DO NOT recruit extra DragonFM 6 breeds, 1st bird either no stopspell (Lizardman) or no breath (Catfly). 7 breed option, breed Picky + Catfly, then +IceMan. Both level 1 for Anger though, fight a fight in Bazaar gate? Good idea anyway, can be starved for MP if you enter at level 1 and find no priests Alternate 4: (Skip C->A and go straight to S) [Route 2.4] Dracky + Lizardman = Wyvern [After E Class] Sleep, Antidote, Heal, Ice Breath Wyvern + DeadNite = MadGoose [After D Class] Heal, LureDance MadGoose + Golem = WhipBird [After Dive 2] StrongD Picky + CatFly = BullBird [After E Class] Sap, Surround, StopSpell, Upper BullBird + IceMan = Blizzardy [After D Class] StrongD, Ice Breath Blizzardy + Rayburn = WhipBird [After Anger] FloraJay + Metaly = Blizzardy [After A Class] Recruit FloraJay WildApe + Yeti = WildApe (should have 150+ ATK for leveling Dracolord) Saves 5k gold, one (pretty consistent) arena fight Forces XP grind in Arena gate to beat S Class. Very much resembles an Any% route. No extra arena fights, all grinding done in Arena gate, same monster team. Lame. Removing FaceTree, but adding in Golem? hmm Alternate 5 - Oh yeah, LizardMan gives StrongD Dracky + IceMan = Blizzardy [After E Class] Sleep, Antidote, Upper, Ice Breath, StrongD Blizzardy + DeadNite = MadGoose [After D Class] Heal, LureDance MadGoose + Golem = WhipBird [After Dive 2] StrongD Picky + Lizardman = Wyvern [After E Class] Sap, Surround, Heal, Ice Breath, StrongD Wyvern + Rayburn = WhipBird [After Anger] FloraJay + Yeti = Blizzardy [After A Class] Recruit FloraJay Six breeds, no Stopspell Alternate 6: CUT LOOSE THE GOOSE [Route 2.1.1] Dracky + LizardMan = Wyvern [After E] Sleep, Antidote, Heal, StrongD @ Wyvern level 20? 7k XP Wyvern + FaceTree = FloraJay [After Anger] StopSpell, Speed >:( FloraJay + Rayburn = WhipBird [After 3rd dive] HP Picky + IceMan = Blizzardy [After E] Sap, Surround, StrongD, Ice Breath Blizzardy + Yeti = Blizzardy [After A] WarCry 6 breeds, no StrongD on WhipBird. 1.0 route with an extra Blizzardy breed (more HP + WarCry + another StopSpell) Route 2.4 - ("Alternate 4" above) Clear Beginner gate Recruit Dracky Recruit Anteater Recruit Hale Clear G Class GOLEM'S BACK, BABY!

Starry Tournament: Blast 1st fight Stopspell is nice on 2nd fight (negates Infermost + HealAll + Revive) Finish fight 2 with as much HP as possible and then defend the first turn of fight 3.

Need about 10-15k gold at this point. Queen will give books that cover breeding fees/Reflection. Need team strong enough for A class (WhipBird + KingSlime 16, 5k XP) Safety strat - Clear A Class Both birds on Mixed for Sleep + Surround against bears, ezpz This gives you Pete and Blizzardy 2.0 before S Class. Probably costs 10 minutes tops? Worth making S Class much easier. Aggro strat - Jump straight to S Class Might stumble a bit. (Or for fifty minutes) Just throw sirloins at MetalDrak and pray he joins you. That's how that works, right? Blast the first group (Surround maybe?) StopSpell and Surround the second group, end as high on HP as possible All defend on last fight until MetalDrak takes someone out. Mixed Blizzardy for Defense (or Surround!) if it's at full HP. Following notes assume you did A Class. Just replace Pete with Kingslime through Durran, and use Blizzardy for the postgame metaly grind.

It can clear the fight in four turns while the birds defend. Bookmark before Durran Durran: Recruit one of his Servants (2-4 Sirloins) Ideally very high strength (360-380) Replace Pete/Mimic w/ Servant Servants: Start birds Mixed, Pete Defensive or Mimic offensive (Stopspell + Defense/WarCry + Radiant) Offensive/Defensive Whipbird after initial debuffs. Consider leaving Blizzardy Defensive if you have a Mimic. WarCry stops a Sirloin from working if they're both stunned. Terry/Durran: Whipbird heals and punches. Blizzardy Surround -> Defense twice -> WarCry. (May need direct control until it's time for WarCry) Servant may cast Blazemost, but will punch after their defense is reduced. Two Sirloins on Servant really helps - lets you defend with him at end of 2nd Starry Tournament fight. Maybe? Sometimes he punches in the final fight even if you tell him to defend... Starry Tournament: Play it like normal, finish fight 2 with as much HP as possible and then defend the first turn of fight 3.
