- 11PA-43 (Nel): This PA has no affinity changes for Nel.
- 12In Peterny - West Side, trigger PA-44 (Albel). The affinity changes are: Albel 1: +4 So, -2 Ma, +2 Cl, -4 Ne, +2 Mi, +6 Pe, +4 Ad, -5 Ro, -3 Ro. Albel 2: +3 So, +2 Ma, +4 Cl, +1 Ne, -2 Pe, -1 Ad, +2 Ro. Albel 3: -7 So, -4 Ma, -5 Cl, -6 Ne, -4 Mi, -7 Pe, -3 Ad, +6 Ro, +2 Ro.
- 13To permanently recruit Albel at the beginning of Disc 2, stay at the Luxury Inn "The Front Door" in Peterny and choose 'Not really.' This triggers PA-45 (Albel). The affinity changes are: Albel 1 (no flag): -2 So, +2 Cl, +2 Ne, -2 Pe, -2 Ad, -3 Ro. Albel 2 (set flag): +1 So, -1 Ma, -1 Cl, +2 Pe, +3 Ad, +5 Ro, +2 Ro.
- 14To recruit Roger, trigger an event in Surferio by entering the house opposite the shop. This is PA-46 (Roger) and is only available if you started the Ancient Book side quest.
- 15Note that if both Albel and Roger recruitment scenes are triggered, the more recent flag will overwrite the previous one.
- 16If you plan to use Albel, it is recommended to get him the Steeled Earth from the Mountains of Barr, reach Lv32, and utilize his skills Air Slash (Kuuhazan) for HP kills and Aura Wall (Mashouheki) for MP kills. His normal attack can be chained until Fury is depleted. A non-elemental move, Goumashou, learned at Lv45, is effective against bosses and AI-friendly, but this is only available in Disc 2.

- 22Enemies in the Mountains of Barr include Porcupine b, Young Porcupine, Mini-Dragon, Brass Dragon d, Feral Dragon b, Highlander, and Aquaregia b.
- 23In the first outdoors area of the Mountains of Barr, wait to be grabbed by a dragon and taken to its nest. Examine the pile of bones to find the Elven Slippers.
- 24To fight the dragon that carries you away for a trophy, wait without being picked up, and it will descend.
- 25Enter the cave behind the waterfall (north from the save point) to trigger a scene.
- 26The boss in the cave has 30000 HP, 2500 MP, 270 ATP, yields 3500 XP, and 10500 Fol. It emits gas that deals MP damage when hit. Moves that do not involve direct contact are recommended if MP damage is an issue.
Tips
- For Albel, if elemental attacks are resisted or MP kills are too slow, use his normal blockable attack chained until Fury is depleted.
- The boss in the cave behind the waterfall would not have been present if you had visited earlier.
- The Undead Dragons in the cave emit gas that deals MP damage. Using No Guard can prevent interruptions from this gas.
