Introduction
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hello and welcome! This is my attempt at writing a walkthrough for
Soulcalibur IV. I've never written a Walkthrough before, unless you count
several half-attempts that never really made it past the note-taking stage.
As such, I don't really know what I'm doing yet, so please bear with me.
This walkthrough began simply as a bunch of notes about the Tower of Lost
Souls. Eventually I thought that maybe I could make it into a walkthrough
covering all of the different modes of the game, how to unlock all of the
extra characters, stages, etc.


XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Tower of Lost Souls
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Welcome to the Tower! May you not become a Lost Soul in your quest
through this fun but frustrating Mode.
In the Tower of Lost Souls, you've got two options: Ascend, or Descend.
(You can only descend after you've already ascended to the 20th floor,
however.) When you choose to ascend, you'll make your way up through 60
floors by fighting the bosses and baddies that guard them. The "floors"
are just regular stages. Most of the floors are in groups of three, and
you have to get through the entire set to move onward.
Each floor has a Treasure, which is unlocked by fulfilling a specific
acquisition condition. Just what are these conditions? Well, the game
doesn't tell you directly. Instead, you are given hints about the
conditions, though you only get the hint after you've already been to that
floor once. Some of these hints are fairly straightforward, such as
"Lure them all into the abyss" (Defeat all enemies by Ring-Out) or very
confusing, such as "Strike with Precision." (Which really had me stumped
for a while, but which I now know means you must hit with every attack.)
It would have been nice for the game to be a little clearer about the
conditions, really. But then, you've got me! And when I can't figure them
out, there's all the helpful people who e-mailed me (thanks guys!)



When you choose to Descend, instead of fighting specific foes, you'll
fight a series of opponents randomly chosen from the baddies within the
tower. Unlike Ascending, you don't get a break in-between--it's a survival
mode, and you go for as long as you can and then you get the darned
"Mission Failed" Screen. Grrr. Instead of getting treasures by
fulfilling certain conditions, you get them for reaching certain floors,
always in multiples of 5. So, there's a treasure for the 5th floor, the
10th floor, 15th floor, etc. However, note that just reaching these
floors isn't enough--you've got to win them, too. So, in order to get
the treasure for floor 10 you've actually got to make it to floor 11.
Like I said, most of these battles are random, but not all of them. The
foes on the floors with treasures seem to stay the same, though some of
them are like Olcadan from Soulcalibur III in that they can use many
different styles of weapon. For example, On floor 5 and floor 15,
you'll fight Ellie and Sylvia respectively. Ellie and Sylvia are girls
in cat suits who can fight in many different styles. So far, I've seen
Ellie fighting like Voldo, Seong Mi-Na, Xianghua, and Ivy. Sylvia,
I've seen with Nightmare's and Astaroth's weapons. There's probably other
styles she can use, too. Anyway. You get the idea.

One last thing, before moving on. While each floor has a treasure, most
of these treasures can also be unlocked by achieving the "Honors." (See
the Honors section for more detail.) If you've already unlocked the item
that was the treasure, you get a reward of gold, instead, for fulfilling
the condition.

---------
ASCENDING
---------
Okay, so here we are. I'm going to list each floor, then the treasure
you get for it, then the hint for that floor, then the acquisition
condition, and, lastly, some suggestions on easy (possibly cheaty) ways to
fulfill this condition. Good luck, and happy ascension!

As noted above, you'll see "[@U]" in a lot of places. That means the idea
didn't come from @me. :) Look in the Credits section to see where it came
from.

Floor 1
Item: Soldier's Hat
Hint: "Do not part with your vitality."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage with no damage taken.
Suggestions: This isn't too hard. You can probably do it with anybody,
but it might be a good idea to use someone who has a long reach, like
Siegfried or Seong Mi-Na. Or you could try just repeatedly throwing your
opponent, but then you have to get close. [@U] Wyhdis suggested using
Siegfried's thrust throw to ring out the opponent while maintaining a safe
distance.

Floor 2
Item: Warrior Trousers
Hint: "Only weak fools perish in the darkness."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage with no Ring Out from either
parties.
Suggestions: Pretty simple. Just stay away from the edges of the stage,
and maybe look into getting yourself a nullify ring out skill.

Floor 3
Item: Pauldron
Hint: "You are not alone."
Acquisition Condition: Switch with an ally 2 or more times.
Suggestions: Easiest condition there is. Just switch a couple times, and
done. Wish more of them were this easy. . .

Floor 4
Item: Warlord's Belt OR 1000 gold
Hint: "Unleash attacks that strike and seize."
Acquisition Condition: Performed 3 attack throws.
Suggestion: I used Siegfried, and his Thrust Throw attack. Flap Jack
and Over Toss would work too. If you want to use somebody else, but you
don't know their attack throws, just go into the moves list and look for
ones that say AT in an orange circle. They're attack throws.

Floor 5
Item: Clergy clothes
Hint: "Lure into the abyss."
Acquisition Condition: Defeated an enemy by Ring Out.
Suggestions: Siegfried and Raphael are both very helpful for getting Ring
Outs. Siegfried's Thrust Throw, Flap Jack, and Over Toss are great, as
is Raphael's Unending Stings (which is his B-G throw.)

Floor 6
Item: Wonder Jacket
Hint: "Catch the enemy with your own hands."
Acquisition Condition: Threw an opponent.
Suggestion: Not much to say, is there? ;)

Floor 7
Item: Warrior Trousers [@U] OR 1500 gold
Hint: "Strike with precision."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage without missing any attacks. [@U]
Suggestions: [@U] Ushinotane suggested using someone slow with a long
reach. He also said Nightmare's combo, down-back and B, A-B, down-B, works
well for this. I personally have trouble doing this because I'm terrible
with Nightmare. I just used throws, near an edge, and tried to get a Ring
Out. elemental_drago said that using Vader's x+square throw is good for
this, if you're standing with your own back to the edge of the ring.
(Vader is only in the ps3 version, though.)

Floor 8
Item: Armor Ring: Ice Mirror
Hint: "You are not alone."
Acquisition Condition: Switch with an ally 2 or more times.
Suggestions: Another easy one. Don't get used to it. . .

Floor 9
Item: Scarlet Blossoms OR 1500 gold
Hint: "Become a shield to repel the blade."
Acquisition Condition: Guarded the opponent's attack 3 times in a row.
Suggestions: Not necessarily easy, but not much to be said, either. Just
keep trying. [@U] jordlittle pointed out that you should use a character
who has a lot of HP, and whose soul gauge recovers easily. Soul Gauge
Boost A and Soul Gauge Recovery would be good skills to have.

Floor 10
Item: Silver Boots [@U] OR 1500 gold
Hint: "The best offense is a good defense."
Acquisition Condition: Guarded the opponent's attack 10 times in a row.[@U]
suggestions: Like the last floor, only much, much harder. [@U] jordlittle
pointed out that you should use a character who has a lot of HP, and whose
soul gauge recovers easily. Soul Gauge Boost A and Soul Gauge Recovery
would be good skills to have.

Floor 11
Item: Grim Horn OR 2000 gold
Hint: "Use your ultimate attack without reservation."
Acquisition Condition: Defeated all enemies with Critical Finish.
Suggestions: The easiest way I've found to do a Critical Finish is with
Yun-Seong and his Avenging Claws. Just keep doing it until the opponent's
soul gauge flashes red, then once or twice more and then you should be
able to perform a Critical Finish. The opponent may start Guard
Impacting your Avenging Claws, though, so be careful. Keep trying, and
eventually it should work.

Floor 12
Item: Magus Cloth
Hint: "Lure them all into the abyss."
Acquisition Condition: Defeated all enemies by Ring-Out.
Suggestions: Siegfried's Over Toss is especially good for this battle,
because he can toss people over the low walls in the stage. That way,
you don't have to worry about breaking the breakable walls, which most
other fighters might have to do in order to be able to Ring-Out. Plus
Over Toss works even against baddies with the Auto Grapple Break skill.
Just crouch down near the edge and use Over Toss to throw them out of the
ring. Use Flap Jack if they are on the side close to the edge, but
remember that Flap Jack doesn't throw them as high so it will be more
difficult to get the opponent Ringed Out with this.

Floor 13
Item: Pegasus Sallet
Hint: "Don't let the walls contain your rage."
Acquisition condition: Destroyed all the walls within the stage.
Suggestions: Take Siegfried. Stand with your back to the wall you want
to break, and use Thrust Throw. If you manage to stab the opponent,
Siegfried will smash them down on the other side--and into the wall.
Works like a charm.

Floor 14
Item: Phantom Pavilion-Seesaw (It's a stage.)
Hint: "A true warrior does not seek protection; repel the blade."
Acquisition Condition: Performed 3 or more Guard Impacts.
Suggestions: Customize a character with the skill Auto Impact A, and keep
guarding until you get the treasure.

Floor 15
Item: Submission Belt [@U]
Hint: "Devote your strategy to a singular strike."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage only with A & G. [@U]
Suggestions: You can use horizontal strikes and guard, and also A-G throws.
You can't use vertical strikes or kick without failing the condition.

Floor 16
Item: Warlord's Pauldrons
Hint: "The victor emerges at the final moment."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage with time remaining at 0.
Suggestions: I couldn't find much to make this easier myself...the
opponent always seems to know enough to attack you right at the last
instant, interrupting you just enough to ruin everything. [@U] Jake
suggested that you lower the opponent's health until they're one hit away
from K.O., and then use Cervantes's Shadow Flare attack when the timer is
at 1 second remaining. If the opponent runs toward you or gets close to
you, however, Jake suggests using Dread Slash, which is an unblockable
attack that sweeps in front of you.
Something will probably go wrong the first few times you try. Ah well.
Just keep at it, and take a break to cool off if you start getting the
impulse to throw your controller at something. . . ;)

Floor 17
Item: Arm Bandages [@U] OR 2500 gold
Hint: "Master the ceaseless dance."
Acquisition Condition: Executed a 5+ combo [@U]
Suggestions: [@U] Ushinotane suggested using Amy's attack, back-BK, for
a 9 hit combo. The attack is called Stocatta Rampage Crescendo.

Floor 18
Item: Kouchu Kabuto OR 2500 gold
Hint: "Explore the boundaries of the stage."
Acquisition Condition: Stood on all corners of the stage.
Suggestions: Maybe take somebody who can move fast? Nullify Ring Out
would be a good skill, too, because in order to stand at the corners of
the stage you need to be right near the edge--prime Ring Out territory.
Not nice.

Floor 19
Item: Demonic Kabuto
Hint: "Fight with your allies."
Acquisition Condition: Switched with an ally 5 or more times.
Suggestions: Easily done, not much to be said.

Floor 20
Item: Life Gem: Sun, OR 2500 gold
Hint: "Hand down judgement with one swing."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage with a critical finish.
Suggestions: Once again, Yun-Seong and his Avenging Claws attack is the
easiest way to go about this that I've found.

Floor 21
Item: Longhua Qipau
Hint: "Give in to the abyss"
Acquisition Condition: Voluntarily performed a Ring Out.
Suggestions: Just move to the edge and jump out. Or, an easier way to do
it, suggested by [@U] ShadowSlasherZ, is to take Cervantes and use his
"Dread charge" followed by "B" while you're near the edge of the ring
and facing it. (I believe the attack is called Geo Da Ray.)

floor 22,
Item: Honor Boots
Hint: "Interrupt your opponent's attacks with your own."
acquisition condition: Performed 4 or More Counter Hits.
Suggestions: Counter hits, I think, just means hitting somebody who is
also attacking, so it's pretty easy to do. Maybe it would be helpful to
take somebody who attacks fast, like Taki. But it probably doesn't matter
too much, since I did it with Siegfried, and he's pretty slow. If you
have trouble with it, though, try customizing somebody with the skill
Auto Counter A. It might help.

Floor 23
Item: Frilled Skirt
Hint: "Become a shield to repel the blade"
Acquisition Condition: Guarded the opponent's attack 3 times in a row.
Suggestions: You know the drill. If you fail, just keep on trying.
[@U] jordlittle pointed out that you should use a character who has a lot
of HP, and whose soul gauge recovers easily. Soul Gauge Boost A and Soul
Gauge Recovery would be good skills to have.

Floor 24
Item: Protect Gem: Cardinal Direction [@U]
Hint: "Surpass the limit of power with one attempt."
Acquisition Condition: Performed a combo with a total damage over 240[@U]
Suggestions: [@U] xxGroomexx suggested using Astaroth's Discus Breaker
attack for this condition. It works very well, and is easy to do (I love
attacks that are easy to do!) You should probably customize Astaroth with
as high an attack as you can manage, to make sure enough damage is done.

Floor 25
Item: Zhuque Changpao
Hint: "Apprehend with your hands multiple times."
Acquisition condition: Threw 5 times
Suggestions: Nothing special to this one. I love the easy ones, don't
you?

Floor 26
Item: Warthog Cuirass [@U] OR 3500 gold
Hint: "Master the Never-ending Dance."
Acquisition Condition: Executed a 10+ Combo [@U]
Suggestions: [@U] Chaos ZX suggested using Amy's Dread Coffin~Stocatta
Rampage Crescendo attack for the 10+ combo. (You can look it up in the
Move List.) You have to be walking back and press the vertical attack
button, have it hit an attacking opponent, and then press the vertical
attack button again. Another option, suggested by TheKench, is to use Amy's
Falling Prayer and then Stocatta Rampage Crescendo, (forward B-K, back B-K,
B.) Either one works well, so choose the one that's easiest for you.

Floor 27
Item: Iron Gauntlets [@U]
Hint: "Do not part with your vitality."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage with no damage taken.
Suggestions: This one's harder than the last floor like this. Not much
to say except the same thing I said for the last one--choose a fighter
with a long weapon, or repeatedly use throws (or do both.) [@U] Wyhdis
suggested using Siegfried's thrust throw to ring out the opponent while
maintaining a safe distance.

Floor 28
Item: Aculeus Suit [@U] 3500 gold
Hint: "Keep jolting the opponent's defense."
Acquisition Condition: Opponent guarded a Guard Break attack at least
twice.
Suggestions: Yun-Seong's Avenging Claws is a good Guard Break attack,
since it's quick and very easy to perform. If you want to use somebody
else's, look in the Move List for attacks that say GB in a blue circle.

Floor 29
Item: Menghu Boots
Hint: "Fight with your allies."
Acquisition Condition: switched with an ally 5 or more times
Suggestions: Another easy one! Yay!

Floor 30
Item: Spirit Gem: Nonuple Heads
Hint: "A fearless warrior triumphs."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage without guarding.
Suggestions: Ouch. This can be a pain, simply because guarding is such
a habit. Plus, there's the problem of surviving when you can't guard.
You might want to customize a character for this battle with some extra
HP.

Floor 31
Item: Longming Qipau [@U]
Hint: "Rely on impeccable timing for victory."
Acquisition Condition: Performed 5 or more Just Inputs. [@U]
Suggestions: You need to use an attack that says (Just) after it in the
Move List. The easiest one I've found so far is Mitsurugi's Triple Steel,
because at least there's some indication of the proper timing. You need
to press the horizontal and vertical attack buttons at the same time,
then press the vertical attack button again just as the second strike
hits.

Floor 32
Item: Vane Mask [@U] OR 4000 gold
Hint: "Apprehend the yielding enemy."
Acquisition Condition: Performed a low throw.[@U]
Suggestions: [@U] DigiLuigi informed me that a low throw is a throw that
only works against a crouching opponent. He recommended using Astaroth,
who has four low throws. He also mentioned that Cassandra, Xianghua, and
Rock have low throws as well. The throws that will fulfill this condition
say "Against crouching opponent" by them in the Move List. I used
Cassandra's Seraphim Cyclone, because I found it easiest to get past the
first two floors with her.

Floor 33
Item: Battle dress
Hint: "Unleash attacks that strike and seize."
Acquisition Condition: Performed 3 attack throws.
Suggestions: I used Siegfried's Thrust Throw. As previously stated, if
you use someone else and you need to check which moves are attack throws,
go into the Move List and look for ones that say AT in an orange circle.

Floor 34
Item: Power Gem: Warrior Princess OR 4000 gold
Hint: "A true warrior does not seek protection; repel the blade."
Acquisition Condition: Performed 3 or more Guard Impacts.
Suggestions: Make a character with Auto Impact A, and just keep guarding.
You should get the treasure pretty quick. Nifty, isn't it?

Floor 35
Item: Warthog pauldrons
Hint: "Do not seek protection, hide, or escape."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage without switching characters.
Suggestions: You always start out in battle as the first of the characters
you selected for your team, so, pick your favored character first. While
you're on floor 34, switch that one out for most of the battle. Try to keep
him/her at full health for floor 35, because you can't switch here without
failing the treasure condition. [@U] Duck of Doom noted that if one
character dies and another takes their place, it doesn't count as
switching. So you should still be able to use both characters if needed.

Floor 36
Item: Parlor Blouse [@U] OR 4500 gold
Hint: "The victor emerges at the final moment."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage with time remaining at 0.
Suggestions: This is a pain, like all the other "victor emerges at the
final moment" battles. [@U] Jake suggested that you lower the opponent's
health until they're one hit away from K.O., and then use Cervantes's
Shadow Flare attack when the timer is at 1 second remaining. If the
opponent runs toward you or gets close to you, however, Jake suggests
using Dread Slash, which is an unblockable attack that sweeps in front of
you.

Floor 37
Item: Siren's Helm [@U]
Hint: "Use your ultimate attack without reservation."
Acquisition Condition: Defeated all enemies with Critical Finish.
Suggestions: Yun-Seong! It's your turn again! Ha. Anyway, remember.
Yun-Seong, Avenging Claws, over and over, this is an easy way to get a
critical attack fast. And fast is necessary--you've got very limited
time to do this in. (Same goes for all battles in this set.) But even
with Yun-Seong, this is still very hard.

Floor 38
Item: Gorgon Fauld OR 4500 gold
Hint: "Lure them all into the abyss."
Acquisition Condition: Defeated all enemies by Ring Out
Suggestions: At first glance, this doesn't seem so bad, does it? Ring
Outs? Well, think again. First there's the time limit, which is a big
problem. Second, there's the fact that ALL of the opponents in this
battle have the Nullify Ring Out A skill. Unbelievable, isn't it? This
means that it's very very hard to Ring Out these guys. You've got to
try again and again--with the time ticking away all the while. Combine
that with the fact that most of them have auto grapple break as well, and
you've got a heck of a tough condition to meet. Siegfried to the rescue!
Flap Jack and Over Toss are very helpful for this condition. Stand near
the edge of the ring and just keep using them, Flap Jack if the enemy is
on the side near the edge of the ring, Over Toss if you're the one near
the edge. Good luck.

Floor 39
Item: Kingfisher Greaves [@U] OR 4500 gold
Hint: "Do not give up the place you stand."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage without changing position.
Suggestions: This condition is a little confusing. What exactly does
"changing position" mean? Well, basically, it means you have to leave the
analog stick alone. Other than that, you can pretty much do any attacks
you want, even if they seem to make you change position pretty
drastically. I'd recommend, though, that you avoid using attacks that
require you to move the analog stick, because if you mess up a little and
it moves you instead of doing the attack you're looking for, then you'll
have to start again.

Floor 40
Item: Deer Head [@U]
Hint: "Master the ceaseless dance."
Acquisition Condition: Executed a 5+ Combo [@U]
Suggestions: [@U] Ushinotane suggested using Amy's back-BK attack,
Stocatta Rampage Crescendo, for the earlier floor with this same
acquisition condition. It would probably work just as well for this floor
but I haven't done it myself yet.

Floor 41
Item: Minotaur [@U]
Hint: "Rely on impeccable timing for victory."
Acquisition Condition: Performed 5 or more Just Inputs. [@U]
Suggestions: Once again, you need Just Inputs. And once again, it's a
pain! Mitsurugi's Triple Steel is worth a try. Press the horizontal and
vertical attack buttons at the same time, then the vertical attack button
just as the second slash hits.

Floor 42
Item: Demonic Gloves OR 5000 gold
Hint: "Suppress your opponent's abilities."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage without letting opponents invoke
a skill.
Suggestions: I think that Zasalamel is the only one of the three who has
an invokable skill, namely HP Burst. You need to get rid of him before
he uses it. You could try for a ring out, but he has Nullify Ring Out A,
so you'd have to get lucky for this to work. Siegfried, using Flap Jack
and Over Toss might have a chance. Or Raphael's Unending Stings, near
an edge. The problem is that he seems to grapple break a lot, even though
he doesn't have that as a skill. Anyway, just try to keep attacking so he
won't get a chance to use his HP burst.

Floor 43
Item: Repel Gem: Iron Shell OR 5000 gold
Hint: "Seize from the enemy's blind spot."
Acquisition Condition: Performed a back throw.
Suggestions: You could try using Ivy's "Embrace of Guilt" or "Embrace of
Lust" attacks. (They're practically the same thing, except one is with
the sword coiled and one is with the sword as a sword.) These attacks,
when they hit, turn the opponent away from you. Combine that with a
throw, and you've got a good chance to fulfill this condition.

Floor 44
Item: War Cloak [@U]
Hint: "Only weak fools perish in the darkness."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage with no Ring Out from either
parties.
Suggestion: Remember this? From way, way back on floor 2? Well, anyway.
Stay away from edges, and maybe make a customized person with Nullify
Ring Out A. Other than that, it's up to you.

Floor 45
Item: Tiger Lily Kabuto OR 5000 gold
Hint: "Earn victory with only your raw strength."
Acquisition Condition: Defeated enemies without equipping any skills.
Suggestions: To fulfill the condition you'll need to customize a character
without any skills. The enemies on floors 45 and 46 seem to take very
little damage, making it difficult to defeat them within the time Limit.
There are two things that I've that found work fairly well. One is to take
Siegfried and use his crouching throws, Flap Jack and Over Toss. They
seem to hit for a fair amount of damage, and the opponents' Nullify
Grapple Break skills won't work against them. Another thing you could try
is to take Yun-seong and go for a Critical Finish by using his Avenging
Claws attack over and over. You should probably customize them with as
much HP as possible, too.

Floor 46
Item: Butterfly Sallet OR 6000 gold
Hint: "Earn victory with only your raw strength."
Acquisition Condition: Defeated enemies without equipping any skills.
Suggestions: See the suggestions for floor 45.

Floor 47
Item: Succubus Boots OR 6000 gold
Hint: "Apprehend with your hands multiple times."
Acquisition Condition: Threw five times.
Suggestions: Like the other throw conditions, this isn't too hard,
although it's a little trickier this time since the opponents in this
battle have the "Invisible" skill. You can still throw them just the
same, though. Walk forward until you bump into something, and grab.

Floor 48
Item: Life Gem: Jade OR 6000 gold
Hint: "Fight while unseen."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage with a character equipped with
the skill "Invisible."
Suggestions: This one is pretty simple. All you have to do is give your
characters the Invisible skill--you don't even have to actually use it.
You should probably have it equipped to both of them, so that you don't
have to worry about which one you win with.

Floor 49
Item: Horns of Calamity [@U]
Hint: "Strike with precision"
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage without missing any attacks. [@U]
Suggestions: I haven't actually done this yet myself, so I don't have
any suggestions yet. You could look at Ushinotane's suggestion for floor 7,
the acquisition conditions are the same so maybe it would work for this
floor as well.

Floor 50
Item: Tiger Lily Breastplates [@U]
Hint: "Master the never-ending Dance"
Acquisition Condition: Executed a 10+ Combo [@U]
Suggestions: [@U] Chaos ZX suggested using Amy's Dread Coffin~Stocatta
Rampage Crescendo attack for the 10+ combo. (You can look it up in the
Move List.) You've got to be walking back and press the vertical attack
button, have it hit an attacking opponent, and then press the vertical
attack button again. Another option, suggested by TheKench, is to use Amy's
Falling Prayer and then Stocatta Rampage Crescendo, (forward B-K, back B-K,
B.) Either one works well, so choose the one that's easiest for you.

Floor 51
Item: Tiger Lily Fauld OR 7650 gold
Hint: "Interrupt your opponents attacks with your own."
Acquisition Condition: "Performed 4 or more Counter hits."
Suggestions: Just do the usual, I'd say. Try to hit them when they're
attacking for Counter Hits, maybe get yourself the Auto Counter A skill.

Floor 52
Item: Feathered Wings [@U]
Hint: "Hand down Judgement with one swing."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage with a critical finish.
Suggestions: The easiest way I know to get a critical finish is with
Yun-Seong, using his Avenging Claws attack repeatedly. Remember, you
have to get a Critical Finish on the last opponent in order to fulfill
the condition.
By the way, if you're just trying to win this set of floors and you're not
worried about getting the treasure, The Apprentice is probably the best
character to choose. His B-G throw, Force Impact, is awesome for Ringing
Out Amy's three henchmen (none of them have Nullify Ring Out or Auto
Grapple Break.) It's also useful against Amy herself, because even though
you can't Ring her Out, Force Impact does A LOT of damage, and seems to
ignore her high defense.

Floor 53
Item: Blade Ring: Demon Lord OR 7650 gold
Hint: "Lure them all into the abyss."
Acquisition Condition: Defeated all enemies by Ring Out.
Suggestions: Raphael's Unending Stings, Siegfried's Thrust Throw, Over
Toss, and Flap Jack--all of these are good for Ring Outs.

Floor 54
Item: Leviathan Pauldrons
Hint: Do not let the walls contain your rage.
Acquisition Condition: Destroyed all the walls within the stage.
Suggestions: An easy way to do this is to take Siegfried, stand with
your back to the wall you want to break, and use Thrust Throw. If
you manage to hit your opponent with it, Siegfried will then smash them
into the wall behind you, breaking it.

Floor 55
Item: Priestess Kimono [@U] OR 7650 gold
Hint: "Unleash attacks that strike and seize."
Acquisition Condition: Performed 3 attack throws.
Suggestions: At the risk of sounding extremely repetitive, Siegfried's
Thrust Throw, Flap Jack, and Over Toss are all attack throws. If you
want to use someone else, and don't know which of their attacks are
attack throws, look in the Move List for attacks marked with an AT in
an orange circle.

Floor 56
Item: Leviathan Burgonet [@U]
Hint: "Surpass the limit of power with one attempt."
Acquisition Condition: Performed a combo with a total damage over 240[@U]
Suggestions: xxGroomexx suggested using Astaroth's attack Discus Breaker.
You should probably customize Astaroth with as much attack as possible to
make sure you do enough damage to fulfill the condition.

Floor 57
Item: Voodoo Armlets
Hint: "Give in to the abyss."
Acquisition Condition: Voluntarily performed a ring out.
Suggestions: The next three floors are quite possibly the biggest
challenge the Tower has to offer. They're so difficult, in fact, that I've
decided to devote the suggestions space to a strategy for simply surviving
them. So, here goes. The best team I've found for these floors is The
Apprentice and Tira. They should both have as much HP as possible (close to
two full bars.) The Apprentice should have the skill HP Drain A. Tira
should have HP Drain B, Strengthen Vertical, and also Appeal.
In order to get these skills and the HP, give them both the special
equipment called Life Gem: Sun. Equip Tira with Soul Edge and give The
Apprentice his 4th Lightsaber from the top.
Okay. On floor 57, your opponents are Cassandra, Sophitia, and Talim.
This floor is where The Apprentice comes in handiest. By using his B-G
throw, Force Impact, while you're standing fairly close to the edge, you
can Ring Out these three pests before they do too much damage (hopefully.)
It can be a pain, because Cassandra is difficult to grab, Sophitia has
Nullify Ring Out B, and Talim has Nullify Ring Out A. Still, it's the
easiest way to get through this floor without losing too much HP. If either
of your team ends up with less than a full green bar, it probably isn't
worth your time to continue with it. You should probably just go back and
try again if this happens--you'll be needing every drip of HP you can get
on the next two floors. To Be Continued. . . .
(By the way, if you've already finished these floors and you're looking
for suggestions on how to get the treasure, check out floor 21.)

Floor 58
Item: Tiger Pauldrons OR 10000 gold
Hint: "Earn victory with only your raw strength."
Acquisition Condition: Defeated enemies without equipping any skills.
Suggestions: . . . .Continued from floor 57. On this floor, the opponents
you will face are Setsuka, Mitsurugi, and Cervantes. This floor is Tira's
specialty, so switch out the Apprentice and let him rest for a bit :)
For this floor, try out the move I like to call "All right! This is fun!
Here I go! How's that?!" (Press UP + B+K, and keep mashing it.) (If Tira
is gloomy, she will say the following lines when you do these moves:
"Sigh, is that it! What a pain. Thats enough!"). What this actually is, is
a combination of moves, which I'll describe now in a bit more detail. The
first time you press UP+B+K, is the move Updraft, where Tira leaps high
into the air. Pressing them again makes Updraft become Diving Talon
Thrust, a Guard Break attack that hits as she comes back down. This move
will often leap you over the opponent, leaving you facing away from them.
When you press (UP+B+K) a few times while facing away, it does the attack
Retro Noise, which slashes behind her twice. (These moves don't all
require ALL of these buttons, however, pressing a few extra buttons doesn't
hurt, and this way you can just keep mashing the same ones over and over
again.) Updraft/Diving Talon Thrust is handy, since she leaps up into the
air, which moves her out of danger and also sneaks in an attack on the way
down. Retro Noise is especially handy for damaging the opponents, since
for some reason, they walk right into it a lot of the time (Maybe since
you're facing away, they don't expect to be attacked?) Have Tira use these
moves against Cervantes and Mitsurugi. When Setsuka appears, switch The
Apprentice back in and have him use throws against her. (Tira probably
shouldn't fight Setsuka if you can help it, since Appeal will lower her
stats.) To Be Continued. . . .
(By the way, if you've already finished these floors and you want to get
the treasure, you can still use this same strategy, you'll just have to do
it without the help of HP Drain or any other skills.)

Floor 59
Item: Voodoo Greaves [@U]
Hint: "The best offense is a good defense."
Acquisition Condition: Guarded the opponent's attack 10 times in a row.[@U]
Suggestions: . . . .Continued from floor 58. In this, the final floor of
the set of doom, we continue our Force Impact and "Alright! This is fun!"
party. You're opponents in this battle will be Tira, Astaroth, and
Nightmare. Tira is the first opponent. You should use The Apprentice and
try really hard to ring her out before she switches (if you do, none of
the opponents will be able to switch out to heal.)
When Astaroth shows up, continue to use Force Impact. It can buy you some
time to heal, if you stand near the center of the Ring and use it when he
comes close. It should send him flying to one edge of the ring, and you
can wait for him to run back and then throw him again, etc, healing the
Apprentice with the HP Drain and allowing Tira to rest at the same time. Or
you can just Ring Out Astaroth with it, if you don't need time to heal.
Once you get rid of Astaroth, Nightmare appears. He is the last pest
standing between you and floor 60, so go get him! I'd start by bringing
Tira back in and having her do "Alright! This is fun!" while The Apprentice
has a breather. Appeal will raise her stats against Nightmare, so it
should be pretty effective. Be careful not to accidentally Ring yourself
Out though--Updraft/Diving Talon Thrust can send you right out of the Ring
if you do it by an edge. When Tira gets hurt, switch the Apprentice back
in and keep throwing. Of course, you'll have to improvise a bit--all of
these ideas will only get you so far. Good luck, and I hope to see you on
floor 60! ;)
(By the way, if you've already finished these floors and you're looking
for suggestions on how to get the treasure, check out floor 10.)

Floor 60
Item: Voodoo Breastplate
Hint: "Do not escape, hide, or seek protection."
Acquisition Condition: Cleared the stage without switching characters.
Suggestions: This is the final floor of the tower, and the final boss, who
is a very tough one to beat. First of all, he has the skill Nullify Ring
Out S, making it impossible to just throw him out of the ring. Then, he
has the skill HP Drain S, which means that every time he successfully hits
you, he gets about the same amount of HP that you lose. You have three
people on your team, but I believe you can only use one if you want to
fulfill the condition. [@U] Duck of Doom noted that if one character dies
and another takes their place, it doesn't count as switching characters;
so you may be able to use all three characters that way and still get the
treasure chest. But what if you're tired of playing fair? You just ran the
gauntlet on 57-59 after all...
So what do you do? Well, remember when I mentioned earlier on that
some of my suggestions might be considered cheaty? Well, there's no doubt
about it, this next suggestion IS cheating. But if you made it through
the nightmare that was floors 57 through 59, chances are you're sick of
the tower by now. Maybe you just want to get the treasure and be done with
it? (If you made it past floor 59, you deserve it, my friend.) So. . .
here's what to do. Customize a character with a lot of HP. Walk near the
edge of the ring, and let the boss knock you down. Stay there, positioning
yourself between him and the edge. Then just let him attack. He will
very, very likely Ring himself Out as he attacks. I've had this work eight
times out of ten tries. For some reason, his Nullify Ring Out skill doesn't
seem to help him if he causes it himself. This may seem low--literally--
but remember, you can always go back and beat him the right way later if
you want to.


Congratulations on completing the Tower of Lost Minds--uh, I mean the Tower
of Lost Souls!

DESCENDING

Suggestions: A good team to use is Raphael and The Apprentice. You don't
get your health back between battles, so you really need to conserve
your HP, and the easiest way to do this is to win by ring out. Raphael's
B-G Throw, Unending Stings, is awesome for getting a Ring Out against an
opponent who is standing near the edge. The Apprentice's B-G throw, Force
Impact, is awesome for getting a Ring Out against an opponent when you are
on the side close to the edge. Since Raph's throw and The Apprentice's
throw go different ways, you can switch in whoever has the right throw
for the situation. They should both have the skill HP Drain A, and maybe
Strengthen Vertical.

Honors
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

These "Honors" are awarded for doing certain things such as, say, winning
a battle with an unblockable attack, amassing a certain amount of gold,
collecting all of the equipment, moving a certain distance in battle, etc.
There are fifty in total. Every 5 honors you collect, up to the 30th,
unlocks a bunch of new items to buy for character creation, some of which
I believe could also be unlocked in the Tower of Lost Souls. (If you have
unlocked an item that could be obtained in the Tower of Lost Souls with
Honors instead, then you get a reward of Gold as the treasure for that
floor of the Tower.) Anyway, in this section, I'm going to list the Honors.
You can also look them up in the "Battle Records" section of Museum mode
in the game.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Arcade Mode
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In Arcade mode, you fight a series of eight battles with no skills,
equipment effects or weapon effects. The battles increase in difficulty
as you go along--the early ones are fairly easy, the later ones
significantly harder. The first six fights can be against any of the
standard characters, but the seventh battle is always against The
Apprentice, and the last is always against Algol. (There is one exception
to this--if you play as The Apprentice, you fight Yoda as the seventh
battle. This is also how you get the "Encounter with the Unknown" Honor.)
You receive points for certain things, such as getting the first attack,
the last attack, having a certain amount of health left at the end of
battle, winning with a critical finish, winning with a Perfect, etc.
Below is the list of point values for the different things.

First attack: 1000 points
Last attack: Varies
Attack Counter: 200 points
Side Dash Counter: 200 points
Back Dash Counter: 500 points
Stun: 100 points
Ukemi: 100 points
Stage Clear Bonus: 2500 points
Health Bonus: Depends on your remaining health, 10000 points for 1 full
bar, 20000 if you have full bars for both rounds.
Soul Gauge Bonus: Varies depending on your remaining Soul Gauge
Time Bonus: Varies, usually between 6000 and 2000 points
Perfect: 15000 points
Guard Impact: 500 points
Grapple Break: 500 points
Impact Counter: 500 points
Equipment Destruction-High: 1500 points
Equipment Destruction-Mid: 1500 points
Equipment Destruction-Low: 1500 points
Overkill: 100 points (per hit)
Ring Out: 2500 points
Guard Break: 300 Points
Unblockable Attack: 1000 points
Critical Finish: 10000 Points
Soul Crush: 1000 points
Wall Hit: 500 points
Consecutive Win Bonus: 1000 points for the first, 2000 for the second, etc.

GETTING "HERO ON THE BATTLEFIELD"

In order to get the "Hero on the Battlefield" Honor, you must clear
Arcade mode with over 450,000 points. That means you need just about
56,250 points per battle.
The biggest point bonuses you can get are the "Remaining Health" bonus
and "Perfect" bonus. (And if you get a Perfect, you'll automatically
get the maximum remaining HP bonus.) If you win both rounds of a battle
with a perfect, you get 15000 points per Perfect and 10000 also for the
remaining health in each round--a total of 50000 points. You'll usually
get a few thousand points for the remaining time and remaining soul gauge
you had, too, which should cover the the extra 6250 points you need.
Here's a few things to remember:
1, Don't win by Ring Out. Even if you have full HP left, you won't get the
"Perfect" bonus for a ring out.
2, If the opponent hits you and messes up your Perfect, all is not yet
lost--just lose that round and try again, although if you got one perfect
and then you lose two in a row you'll have to get the first one over again.
3, Even when you lose two rounds and "Retry" you still keep the points
you received in previous battles. So you can try as many times as you
need to.
4, As Kilik would say, "You'll never stand a chance without dedication."
This is going to take time, effort, and most of all, a LOT of patience.
You never know when a wimpy little kick is going to come out of nowhere
and spoil your Perfect.
5, Overkill is an easy way to get a few hundred extra points (100 per hit
after the opponent is K.O.ed) but more importantly than that, it's a great
way to vent your frustration. :)
5, you can afford to win a round or two without perfects--I missed two
perfects once and still finished with a score of 471,339. So if you get
halfway through and accidentally finish a battle without getting a
perfect on one of the rounds, don't immediately give up on it. (If you
miss more than two, though, you're in trouble.)
Good luck. And congratulations when you manage to do it (You're a hero
now! wOOt!)




XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Story Mode
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In Story Mode, you choose a certain character, read their beginning, play
through five battles, defeat the final boss, and watch the ending. You
can choose to play on either Normal or Hard difficulty, and, depending
on which difficulty you choose and how well you fight on your way through,
you receive a certain amount of gold after the end. The first time you
play through Story mode with a particular character, two new weapons for
this character become available to buy in Character Creation. (These
weapons and their stats are listed in the Weapons part of the Unlockables
section.) Other than that, there isn't much to say about Story mode.
This section lists each of the battles in each character's story, including
any allies you have on your side, the opponents you will face, and the
skills they have. I thought, originally, that this could help you form
a strategy, but the sad truth is you really don't need a strategy to get
through Story mode, since it's so easy, especially on Normal.
