Just cleared the Tower of Agito (Optional Hardest Dungeon) in Type-0 HD; heres some tips for those that want to attempt it

[sagman12PC 280]

I just defeated the "Superboss" in this game, the cosmic Malboro who is on the final floor. It took about 3 hours to clear the whole tower; here's some tips for those that want to attempt it

-You must be level 99, no questions asked

- Use Rem since she has the best magic cancel in the game

- You're going to be using spells the whole time so make sure they are decently leveled

- Have Tornado and Meteor and Boost II - SP Helm (70,000 SPP Reward) is very useful since it has freecast built in which allows you to spam spells without worrying about MP

- Anima Lanterns or Phoenix Pinions are a must here, they both grant Reraise and they must be placed on shortcut at all times. Anima Lanterns can be farmed from Tonberries and you even get some after clearing floor 1 on the tower

- Equip Avoid Magic

- Don't bother using more than 1 character, they AI in this game is too stupid to know what to do and it usually just ends up killing your party members

Floor Strategies:

Floor 1 (100 Tonberries): Have Fire Bomb II or Blizard Bomb II on shortcut and spam it. The tonberries will flinch and take damage over time. Always use Anima Lantern or Pinion if you die since the Tonberries 1 shot you here. Also very important: EQUIP RIBBON!! The Tonberries here cast stop which freezes you in place and gets you 1 shotted afterwards. Ribbon protects against this

 

Floor 2 (100 Ceourls): Possibly the 2nd hardest floor to clear. These guys are relentless especially later because they spawn 3 at a time. They cast "Blaster" which shoots balls of lighting at you that 1 shot you and they also 1 shot you if they use their electric attack. Strategy: Spam Fire RF on the Ceourls and Meteor on the Blaster Orbs. Keep dodging when they get near you and you'll get the timing right with practice

 

Floor 3 (100 Glasya Labolas): These guys aren't that difficult. Spam Fire Bomb II or Blizzard Bomb II and watch out for their clap attack since that can one shot you. They start spawning 3 at a time during 70+ kills so watch out for that

 

Floor 4 (100 Mushussu): Not too bad here. These guys stand still unless they wake up 3 times which will then cause them to enrage and move around crazily; you don't want this. The strategy here is to spam Tornado while moving around to dodge their sludge attacks. Later on they will appear 2 and 3 at a time which can be challenging. Once they come at you with 3 i recommend standing far away and casting tornado on the farthest one to the right or left to avoid waking up the other ones. If you do end up getting enrage then don't panic; cast tornado and hope you don't get hit. If you do get hit reapply Reraise status. This was the second longest floor on the tower (30 minutes)

 

Floor 5 (100 Behemoth Kings): The longest floor on the tower so be prepared. It took me 45 minutes to clear this. Behemoth Kings will spawn once at a time until 50+ kills which then spawn 2. Strategy here is to cast Boost II for invisibility and then cast tornado twice on the Behemoth King. After casting Tornado twice wait for Invis to run out and reapply then repeat casting tornado twice. If you feel confident enough you can cast tornado 3 times but be warned, this only gives you 2 seconds to reapply invis before the behemoths spot you and lunge

 

Final Floor (Cosmic Malboro Final Boss): Cast Boost II for invis and spam meteor. Congrats, you just cleared the Hardest Dungeon in the game! You get the proof of agito which gives you all buffs and damage boosts. You can only get this once and you can use it to re-enter the tower again if you choose

Ahh, I remember playing the PSP version on emulator, I'm sorry it took ages.

IIRC, you can get the Proof of Agito per playthrough/new game+/etc. Unless that's been changed in the HD version.
