Part 87

Learn about the materials needed for items like Dekaja Stone and Dekunda Stone, and the stats for swords like the Combat Knife and Heat Knife in Part 87 of our Strange Journey Redux guide.

Alright, let's dive into Part 87 of our Strange Journey Redux walkthrough. This section is all about some handy consumable items and a few early-game swords. Think of it as stocking up on useful tools and getting a feel for your basic gear.

First up, we've got some items that can really turn the tide in a tough fight. These aren't weapons you equip, but rather things you use from your inventory.

Consumable Items

• Tetraja Stone: This is super useful! It protects your whole party from one instant-death spell. You'll need DF Delphite II, a Nymph Fan (dropped by Nymph Ame no Uzume), and an Enigma Himorogi (dropped by Enigma Futotama), all found via Forma Search A in Delphinus.
• Dekaja Stone: This one removes all positive status buffs from your enemies. Imagine them powering up with Rakukaja, and then *poof* – gone! You'll need DF Delphite II, a Flight Feather (dropped by Flight Caladrius), and a Genma Conch (dropped by Genma Kurama Tengu), all from Delphinus.
• Dekunda Stone: The opposite of Dekaja, this removes negative status debuffs from your party. If your whole team gets hit with Tarunda or Sukunda, this stone will cleanse it right off. The materials are DF Delphite II, a Flight Feather, and a UMA Foot (dropped by UMA Hare of Inaba), again all from Delphinus.
• Sacrifice: This is a one-shot deal to protect your main character from an instant death attack, like Hama or Mudo. It's not for sale, but you can sell it for 750 Macca if you don't need it.
• Chakra Elixir: A basic MP recovery item for a single target. It's usable in combat only, and you get it as a reward for the EX Mission "False god in chains."

These stones, especially Dekaja and Dekunda, are lifesavers when you're facing bosses or tough groups that rely on buffs and debuffs. Don't forget to keep an eye out for those materials!

Swords

Now, let's look at some of the melee weapons you'll be using early on. These are pretty straightforward:

• Combat Knife: This is your starting equipment, so you'll have it right from the get-go. It has 15 Attack Power and deals Strike damage. You can't buy or sell it initially.
• Pixie Knife: You get this as a reward for the EX Mission "The injured little pixie." It has 2 Attack Power but deals 2-4 Strikes and can inflict Charm. It sells for 600 Macca.
• Heat Knife: This one has 23 Attack Power and deals Strike damage. To craft it, you'll need an AT Antlite (Forma Search A in Antlia), Fairy Wings (dropped by Fairy Pixie in Antlia), and a Spirit Cu... (the source text cuts off here). It costs 860 Macca to buy and sells for 430 Macca.

Keep these swords in mind as you progress. The Heat Knife is a nice upgrade if you can craft it!
