Jade Cocoon 2 - Platform: Playstation 1 Easy money: ----------- Enter Barren Earth, the fourth Earth Forest. When you get there inside, at quite few of the Ogre Vines there will be either a Cute Gem or a Lovely Gem which sell for good money. Easy start: ----------- To get an advantage when beginning a new game, choose to take a Fire monster and start in the Earth Forest. By the time you get other monsters, your attacks will be far higher than other wild monsters and you will have an easier ransition no matter what elemental forest you choose. Boss Fights: ------------ When you fight bosses you are fighting one really good guy instead of 3 bad ones. Now when you fight Bosses that are mainly physical (attacks only or mostly), a simple attack can decimate them. You get a speedy earth type with good mana capacity and teach it barrid or barridis then have it cast the spell for the entire battle sheilding your guys and leaving them open for damage. Though DO NOT use this tactic against a boss like Gojet or another boss that cast sleep, poison, or paralysis moves. Hope it works for you if it doesn't that means you guys are either not strong enough, too low mana or don't have enough speed.
