- Trendy
- Defeat the Bandit Trio on their boat at dusk after defeating them in the swamps.
Level Guide[]
- Standard Run
- Defeating the Evil Lord Nexus without fulfilling any quest conditions requires grinding to around level 14, but doing so will cause the level to be failed. Unlike Change the Current or Ancient Riches this does not include a special ending, so it is likely not required for the Multi Ending Master achievement.
- Grind for some money, then enter the village and purchase the Speed Gear. After this, travel North to visit the camp between the swamps and speak with the Grail Hag to learn that the Bandit Trio have stolen the grail.
- Walk into each of the three swamps on the map until you find and defeat each of the three members of the bandit trio. This will give three grails and the Detective title.
- At dusk enter the boat at the south east of the island. The Bandit Trio will boast then fall to your weapon. If you hadn't fought each member in their swamps you will get the grails else you will get the Trendy Band and the Trendy title. Return to the swamp camp and speak with the grail hag. Travel south east to the lake. Walk on the bridge to the middle of the lake and fill the grail. Use the grail in battle with the Evil Lord.
- Speed Run
- Bring the Wing Blade (selecting Retry after completing the level auto-equips the Gold Rush should you have it, which is not suitable for the boss). For this level, never dash on the map. You should dash during battles, however.
- At the start of the level, travel north and ignore the village, then east over the camp but ignoring that too. Use the bridge and continue heading directly north to find and defeat Larry at level 4 for the real grail. Continue walking directly south and circle around either side of the lake to fill the grail, then head west through the swamp to return to the first village.
- Heal and reset time, then walk north into the Evil Lord's castle. In the fight, wait until you're about to attack the first minion before using the grail, as this will kill three minions instead of two. Immediately after this, dash into Nexus to prevent additional minions getting in the way, and the fight should complete to finish the level in around 30 seconds.
If you have trouble with dashing into Nexus at the right time, try to obtain the speedgear from the first village.
