**Note**:
*Please use the Duckstation version provided with the settings included in this thread*. *Red means it is mandatory and Green means it's recommended*. *While submitting a run you need to select* "**PC**" *category and* "**Emulator was used**". *Proof of settings isn't needed*, *but if you want to show them at the end of a run feel free to do so for easier verification process*.

**Duckstation vs. PS2**:
*I have done some extensive testing on the Duckstation emulator, and this is the closest I could get it to while tuning it. It won't mimic the PS2 exactly, but it should be very similar. So console benefits everytime the screen needs to load a new area, whileas emulator will get into; and out of battle faster to mitigate the timeloss from screen transitions.*

**Turbo settings on emulator**:
*Putting 1 frame on X button is optimal for turbo. If it is too fast you can try a higher number. Turbo is optional; so if you want to play in the Legit category it is totally fine!*

When you purchase items make sure to know that it works like this...

Buy:   
3x Burn Outs
4x Spinning Gale
3x Charm Potion

It means that you leave the shop with that many of those items. If you already have 3 burn outs you don't need to buy more. So it basically says what you need to have when you leave the shop.

**Before Mayfil**: *Just use whenever red; we got plenty at this point. You can refill if you used too many in plenty of places (Ulara, Fletz, Zenebatos)*.

**Mayfil**: *Menu abuse a lot during the web phase to get to Lavitz*.
**Moon**: *Get the first two battles and then menu abuse to get to the Caterpillar/Imago battle*.
**Before Miranda's Fight**: *Menu abuse once on the last screen (not needed if you run perfectly)*.
**After Miranda's Fight**: *Use a 1 Charm Potion*.
**After Rose's Fight**: *Once the arrow turns red, menu abuse all the way to the village*.
**Before Kongol's Fight**: *Menu abuse once or twice*.
**Before Meru's Fight**: *Menu abuse 5-6 times*.
**Final Space Map**: *Use 1 Charm Potion right where the Gravity Grabber item is located*. 
**Before Super Virage**: *Menu abuse on the Save Point screen until you reach Super Virage*.

That should conclude how many Charm Potions you use in each area of the game. You can use this guide to check if you used too many. If you used too few it doesn't matter. I route for the maximum amount of needed Charm Potions in case some areas are extra tight.

Melbu Frahma Guide:

**Phase #1 - 8500 HP**:

Miranda:	2x AoE Spells (924)	           Attack/Defend (Until Haschel has gotten red HP)
Haschel:	Attack (425/637/850)	

*If someone gets petrified, just use Depetrifier and continue to grind Haschel’s HP Low*

*You need to keep track so that you haven’t dealt more than 7000 damage before doing the below*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anyone:	Speed Down (Melbu), Power Down (Melbu)        
Haschel:	[Every turn] Attack	
Miranda: 	Speed Up (Haschel), Power Up (Miranda), 1x Psyche Bomb X, [Every Turn] Trans Light

*Then go all-in with the highest damage dealing throwable items (Psyche Bomb X + Trans Lights)*
*Just attack with Haschel as much as possible*

Miranda:	Psyche Bomb X ~6400 Damage (MAX), Trans Lights ~ 1075/1618/2152 Damage (240%)
Haschel: 	Attack (409/613/818)

**Phase #2 - 10000 HP**:

*Still go all-in for as long as the boss is debuffed*

Miranda:	Trans Lights ~1075/1618/2152 Damage (240%)
Haschel: 	Attack (409/613/818)

**Phase #3 - 11000 HP**:

*This is where you use Trans Lights when you can (always revive Haschel if he dies first). Make sure Miranda never drops below 2000 HP*.

Miranda:	Trans Lights ~ 1075 Damage (240%), *Angel's Prayer/Healing Fog if necessary!*
Haschel: 	Attack (409/613/818)

**Phase #4 - 12500 HP**:

Miranda:	Trans Lights ~ 1075 Damage (240%), *Angel's Prayer/Healing Fog if necessary!*
Haschel: 	Attack (409/613/818)

*Once you Melbu Frahma has done his 5th attack you transform with Haschel into a Dragoon and cast Atomic Mind*

*This forces Melbu to go into his defensive state for 5 consecutive turns*.

**Two critters will spawn with 1500 HP (2x AoE spells will take care of them from Miranda)**

*All other attacks should focus on Melbu. Once the critters are gone you use Trans Light again when possible!*
