Rudra No Hihou - Sion’s Scenario (Glitchless) Route
THIS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS
The route itself was created by white_fake: http://www.geocities.jp/white_fake/rudra/rudrarta.html Translation/adaptation and minor improvements done by me (@NachoYacopu)
Shoutouts to catklaw for proofreading and testing/coming up with part of Gomorrah strat. Shoutouts to Nitrodon for explaining stuff to me and the improved elemental protection mantras.
IMPORTANT NOTE: These notes attempt to be a faithful translation of whitefake notes, thus, this route is intended to be used as part of an All Scenarios Glitchless speedrun (fighting Thunder Rudra) and are not optimized for single scenario Speedruns. Will add my optimizations/modifications to do single scenario runs later.
However, I did change the Gomorrah strat because I am NOT letting Foxy die deal with it nerds.

Useful Information
· It is recommended you use the original version of the game instead of the patched version if you intend to follow this document - not only is the mantra system considerably changed, but the way stats works is also different (investigation in progress) so I can’t confirm the strats in here will work if you’re playing with the english patch. I haven’t tried out the french patch so I have no idea if that’s good or not. · I -won’t- be giving exact locations for every little thing you have to do - I’ll just list what things you need to do in order to trigger events to progress. Watch a video if you’re lost.
Sion’s Scenario in 1:50:55 by me - (Single Scenario Fire Rudra run so notes won’t match 100% with this run) Mantras document (check to see details on what each mantra does) - [add here when its done] whitefake route for Riza’s Scenario (JP) - http://www.geocities.jp/white_fake/rudra/rtachart_2.txt Refer to whitefake notes if you know japanese - they’re far more informative than this sloppy translation
General Tips
· Best way to advance through textboxes is to hold down L and mash/turbo A (or the other way around). Just remember to pick the right choices when prompted! Also, holding down L or A will open chests/interact with people on the earliest possible frame. · Hold down B to run, duh. · Renaming everyone to a single character name should save a handful of frames every time their names appear. · ALWAYS move to the back row during random encounters (press Y). Always stay on the back row unless you need to physically attack something or you want to use a character as a “lightning rod” (more on this later). · When it comes to escaping from random encounters, you should A) ensure an escape before the enemies get to attack you (with the イヤテラ (IYATERA) mantra) or B) if that’s not possible, just try and maximize your chances at getting a “free” escape using the flee command. This all depends on the enemies and your party members’ speed values. · If you’re trying to escape from a single enemy that’s not particularly deadly and/or enemies with fast attack animations, you could choose to take more risks and gamble for free encounters with more characters even if this means letting some enemies potentially get some quick hits on your party. This is something to consider specially when you need to conserve MP. · After a random encounter (and after boss fights, as well!), your step counter will be set to a random value between 12 to 31; this value will count down on every step and will trigger a new random encounter when it reaches 0. This is good to know since it lets you estimate when you’re safe (or not) from a random encounter before you reach something, such as a healing pot, or a boss fight trigger (in case you need to switch to certain equips for that particular boss fight, for example). · Always target enemies properly - all your single-target attacks will deal 3/4ths of their original damage if you were targeting something else that died. · All special effects are removed from characters that die in battle so keep this in mind. “Defense against [element]” buffs will expire after 4 turns. · You can quickly heal your party by using the mantra コペベレフナ (KOPEBEREFUNA). Make sure you’re always fully healed before boss fights! · Try to always end boss fights with everyone alive - you’ll want all the experience you can get on everyone, especially for people who are meant to outspeed enemies/bosses later on. · Turn Memory (third/rightmost option in the Config menu) determines how often the action order is set. From top to bottom the choices are Manual (set the turn order manually and it will stay between battles), Semi (default one - reset turn order at the end of every battle) and Auto (reset turn order at the end of every turn). Auto is bad, but feel free to use either Manual or Semi - whatever you prefer (Manual is a bit harder to use but it’s the recommended config option). · On that note, turn order is good - always keep an eye on it, and remember when you need to change it during boss fights. Sometimes you need a very specific turn order, other times you just need one guy to go before or after someone else (to activate/benefit from the spirit buff, for example). Check the specific boss strats for the info. If sometimes it looks like there’s no reason to change the turn order, trust me, there is one.
The Route
Cyrunne’s Castle Config: Set Cursor Memory (middle option) to 2 (and if you want, Turn Memory to Manual), enscribe all needed mantras
Mantra inscribing A setup to do this (what I do at least) (legend is page-position) (number in parenthesis is the MP cost): Copy レフ (REFU) from 1-3 to 1-2. Turn 1-2 into コペベレフナ (KOPEBEREFUNA) (1). Turn 1-3 into レフランデズ (REFURANDEZU) (3). Do イヤチェタン (IYACHETAN) (8) on 1-4. Copy 1-4 to 1-5, turn into イヤチェノヌ (IYACHENONU) (1) on 1-5. Copy 1-2 to 1-8, turn into コペシャバイ (KOPESHABAI) (8). Copy 1-8 to 1-7, turn into コーコペテヌ (KO-KOPETENU) (19). Copy 1-7 to 1-6, turn into コステヌヘグ (KOSUTENUHEGU) (15). Copy 1-7 to 2-7, turn into コペテヌ (KOPETENU), copy to 2-8, 2-1, 2-3, 2-4. Turn 2-4 into コペテヌカリ (KOPETENUKARI) (1). Turn 2-1 into コペテヌビト (KOPETENUBITO) (4). Create イヤテラ (IYATERA) (1) on 2-2. Turn 2-3 into コペテヌスタ (KOPETENUSUTA) (1). Turn 2-7 into コペテヌグア (KOPETENUGUA) (1). Turn 2-8 into コペイヤキラ (KOPEIYAKIRA) (3). Copy 2-8 to 2-6, 2-5. Turn 2-6 into コペイヤウス (KOPEIYAUSU) (3). Turn 2-5 into コペイヤジン (KOPEIYAJIN) (3). Copy 2-3 to 3-3, turn into コペベキゼロ (KOPEBEKIZERO) (9). Copy 3-3 to 3-2, turn into コペバベイヤ (KOPEBABEIYA) (3). Copy 3-2 to 3-1, turn into コイヤソウル (KOIYASOURU) (1) (this one is optional but nice to have). Copy 1-6 into 3-6, 3-5, 3-4. Turn 3-4 into ストロンヘグ (SUTORONHEGU) (21). Turn 3-5 into コキソベヘグ (KOKISOBEHEGU) (18). Turn 3-6 into エミテヌヘグ (EMITENUHEGU) (3). Copy 2-8 to 3-8, turn into ペイヤディ (PEIYADI), copy to 4-1, 4-2, 4-3 and 4-4. Turn 4-4 into ソペイヤディ (SOPEIYADI) or ヌペイヤディ (NUPEIYADI) (5). Turn 4-3 into イペイヤディ (IPEIYADI) (5). Turn 4-2 into ゼペイヤディ (ZEPEIYADI) (5). Turn 4-1 into ドペイヤディ (DOPEIYADI) or ツペイヤディ (TSUPEIYADI) (5) (you can skip this if you’re doing Fire Rudra). Turn 3-8 into ヤペイヤディ (YAPEIYADI) (4). Done! This probably isn’t the absolutely optimal way to enter your mantras but is good enough and also provides a nice menuing during fights, where the mantras you use more often are closer to each other (less inputs required), while still being somewhat simple.
If you just want a list of the mantras you need, here it is:
Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4

Tulha Temple Rueda(ルエーダ)(22) > your entire party Dune and Cid cutscene, retrieve Ramirez~ (pick second option to avoid opening enscribe menu - prompt will appear right after Ramyleth laughs). Then backtrack. From this point on remember you’ll have Ramyleth as your mana battery so use him to heal as you need.

Floating Continent Bezeuein(ベゼウェイン)(15) > Sion(12+1) > Foxy(11) = Baja(バジャ)(11) > Ture(6) > Ramy(5) Try not to take damage here so play it safe escaping from encounters with Sion and also try to avoid walking through forest areas. Before the glacier, pop a Sweet Water (おいしいみず) on Sion, heal everyone with Ramyleth.

Clock Tower Oburera(オブレラ)(29) > Sion(13+1) > Foxy(12) > Dirikento(ディリケント)(7) = Datori(ダートリ)(7) = Ture(7) Obureras will always get hits on you, so keep an eye on your HP. Heal somewhat often (with Ture) and consider using Foxy to cast IYATERA as well. Also, as you’re going through this area, remember that Foxy needs 9 MP, and Sion and Ture need 6 for the boss fight in here, so plan your escapes accordingly. 1F: Go right then up. 2F: Go up the right side ladder then around. 3F: Go left (past the clock door) then up. 4F: If you take the left side exit you can reach chests with Life and Magic Leaves (30 secs~ slower and completely optional - but if you get them Foxy is a good recipient for them). 5F: After the outside bridge, go up then in the next room navigate to the northwest door. 7F: Optional save point here. 8F: Go around. 9F: No more encounters here, its safe to heal as soon as you reach this floor. Heal everyone. If anyone ended up with less than 6/9 MP use a Sweet Water (おいしいみず) on them.

∗ Shit sucks if he gets a preemptive attack - you’re gonna lose a turn no matter what. But to lose only a turn, and not a run, do this: have Sion/Ture use an Alarum (きつけぐすり) on whoever took a hit, and said person just defends someone else while the third party member casts a heal. What we do is just assume the person who took the first hit is gonna die right away so we preemptively use a revive item (yes, use an Alarum, do not use ressurection mantra!) on them and then fully heal. Then on the second turn proceed with the regular strat.

∗ Mayura can one-hit Ture with her preemptive attack - if this happens, Foxy revives and Sion heals (in that order), then restart. ∗ On the first turn you can heal with Foxy before buffing spirit with Ture - its up to you. ∗ On turns 2 and 3 if Foxy has less than 40 HP and/or Ture has less than 70 HP, you can heal one extra time instead of attacking. If you do this, Mayura will use her Dark Realm move at the end of turn 4 so you’ll need to finish her off with Sion on the turn after else you’ll eat a Star Thrust attack that will most likely wipe you (move Sion to the front of the turn order of course).

∗ If Surt physically attacks Ture, you could choose to play it safe, move Foxy to the front of the turn order and heal with her instead of attacking. Do not heal more than once though because you risk eating a deadly attack on the last turn. Surt’s physical attack is thunder-elemented so don’t forget your Lemnos Mails!

Go right, then right again ignoring the chests. In third area, climb down the left side. DO NOT talk to the mermaid (don’t hold L), just jiggle the medula or whatever, then go back. Climb up and down the right side and enter. When you enter the boss room there are no more random encounters so you’re safe. Before you engage Yol-gee: Heal everyone and use the Purifier (じょうかやく) if anyone got contaminated, everyone needs at LEAST 13 MP (22 in Ture’s case) so use Sweet Water (おいしいみず) if appropiate.

∗ Shit sucks if he gets a preemptive attack - fire bosses are the bane of my existence. He can also do some deadly earth attacks when he is “red” so you want to avoid this at all costs. You can also (during the second or third turn) replace one attack with an additional heal (or with defense buff) if you need it and/or want to play it safe. KOPEPUROTESU can reduce the damage you take by a LOT, and its a good idea especially if you feel like the fight can get out of control. ∗ Speaking of preemptive attacks, Ramy can die in one hit if Ravana hits him before fire protection is up. Obviously you want to revive them as soon as possible while setting up. This is hard because Ravana will attack while you’re doing all of this - you just have to take your chances and hope he won’t kill anyone else. ∗ If Ramys die on first turn, try this: Ture> alarum on him, Sion> spirit up, Foxy> heal all or defense buff (the order is important). On the next turn, with everyone alive (hopefully), heal/defense buff/fire protection with Sion and Foxy (before Ravana attack) and then resume with the mdef reduction and then attacks. Use your 3MP heals - you’ll need the extra healing power.

Only buy 2 Lemnos Mails at Danelf: we’re gonna need the extra Ragu for another item that I consider more useful for this scenario. No thunder Rudra means we don’t need 3 of these, and we can survive Surt with only 2. Actually if we used defense up strats we could survive with zero but idk what to do with all that money...maybe buy Big Shoes for Ture? Buy one Aegis Shield at Ruined City: this is what we get instead of the third Lemnos Mail. Remember this is slightly more expensive than one Lemnos so we need to buy a few less Sweet Waters on the anti-gravity train if you want to be able to afford this on your first visit to the Ruined City. But yes, the Aegis Shield is fire, only equippable by Sion (boo) but extremely useful against Ravana and Fire Rudra. Just be aware it has -4 speed, so remember to unequip it when you want to be fast (vs the Cultists and Taurus). Use a stronger water mantra: this comes pretty handy, since it lets you use faster, more offensive strategies on Surt, Ravana and Fire Rudra. The spell of choice is KOPETENUMINU (コペテヌミヌ), costs 4 MP and it has 110 base power. Obviously though, the increased cost means you need to pay closer attention when you use it, to make sure you won’t run out of MP in the middle of a boss fight.
