This is to keep tabs on each area's data and potentially revamp enemies/bosses from each area. Next up is dungeon #10, Remains of Hell. Both phases are pretty much one after the other, with some bosses only appearing in one phase (although all enemies appear in both). This dungeon marks the start of the Extra Mode difficulty, where the difficulty starts to really ramp up (though arguably, Road of Reconsideration could be considered the start of that due to the enemies fought there). The player are forced to use Reimu/Marisa/Momiji for the entirety of this dungeon, though during phase 2 the player also gains access to Yuugi as a temporary party member (high HP, Attack, and Defense, but really crap MP, Magic, and Speed).


Name: Flame Beast
Fought at: Remains of Hell - Before Ancient City, Hell of Blazing Fires
Current skills:
**Magma Stream: Inflicts 200 Fire-elemental damage to one party member.
**Flare Breath: Inflicts 300 Fire-elemental damage to the party.
**Fira: Inflicts 300 Fire-elemental magic damage to the party.
**Fog: Dummied skill.
Suggested skillset changes:

Flame Beasts are scary enemies, especially since they love to come in groups of 3-4. Flare Breaths in conjunction with Fira is more than enough to kill a weak party, and is also more than enough to severely cripple any party even at higher levels unless the player is smart enough and brings a Red Hat/Fire Ring to the dungeon. With those, the damage is much more bearable and easier to manage, and these enemies become much easier to defeat. Since AoEs are now severely nerfed, focusing on enemies one at a time is the way to go. Flame Beast has 1300 HP, absorbs Fire, halves Water, and is weak to Ice.


Name: Catpire
Fought at: Remains of Hell - Before Ancient City, Hell of Blazing Fires
Current skills:
**Drain: Inflicts 150 non-elemental magic damage to one party member and absorbs damage as HP to user.
**Gravity: Reduces the party's HP by 1/4 of their current HP.
**Darkra: Inflicts 400 Shadow-elemental magic damage to one party member.
Suggested skillset changes:

Catpires are hardly a threat unless they decide to throw Darkras at characters, especially Reimu. Drain is hardly a problem and Gravity can be easily recovered from even in group fights. Catpire has 1000 HP, absorbs Shadow, is immune to Earth, and is weak to Holy/Wind.


Name: Basilisk
Fought at: Remains of Hell - Before Ancient City, Hell of Blazing Fires
Current skills:
**Stone Stare: Inflicts Petrify: oo to one party member.
**Break: Inflicts Petrify: oo to one party member.
**Breakga: Inflicts Petrify: oo to the party. 70% accuracy.
**Blizzara: Inflicts 300 Ice-elemental magic damage to one party member.
**Quake: Inflicts 300 Earth-elemental magic damage to the party.
Suggested skillset changes:

Basilisks are nasty foes, as they primarily will try to turn characters to stone. The only defenses against this is to equip the Stone Ring, or try to luck out with the Earthen Amulet. In addition, Basilisks only appear in groups of 3, which triples the problem of being Petrified and getting a Game Over. A Gaia Barrier + Barrette + Stone Ring on any character will help them survive, but the other two may be out of commission for the duration of the battle. Basilisk has 890 HP, heavily resists physicals, and is weak to Earth/Mystic.


Name: Hellflapper
Fought at: Remains of Hell - Before Ancient City, Hell of Blazing Fires
Current skills:
**Poison Mist: Inflicts 45 Poison-elemental magic damage and Poison: oo to the party. 80% accuracy.
**Pollen: Inflicts 20 non-elemental magic damage to the party and Sleep: 50 to the party. 60% accuracy.
**Shock: Inflicts Paralyze: 50 turns and reduces Lightning resistance by 1 level to one party member.
**Slumber: Inflicts Sleep: 50 turns to one party member.
**Ink: Inflicts Blind: 00 to the party.
Suggested skillset changes:

Hellflappers are kinda rare enemies, but are nuisances as they primarily will only inflict status effects on the party, the worst being Sleep which can severely cripple the party. Hellflapper has 1025 HP, is immune to Earth, and is weak to Wind.


Name: Hell Worm
Fought at: Remains of Hell - Before Ancient City, Hell of Blazing Fires
Current skills:
**Charge Up: Charges up for one turn to inflict double damage with a regular attack next turn.
**Gravity: Reduces the party's HP by 1/4 their current HP.
**Gravira: Reduces the party's HP by 1/2 their current HP.
**Graviga: Reduces the party's HP by 3/4 their current HP.
**Sandstorm: Inflicts 500 Earth-elemental damage and Blind: oo to the party.
**Quake: Inflicts 300 Earth-elemental magic damage to the party.
Suggested skillset changes:

Hell Worms are pretty terrifying foes as they can reduce the party's HP greatly with Gravity spells as well as hit hard with Earth-elemental spells. They generally appear alone, but sometimes appear with other enemies such as the Hellflapper. Hell Worm has 1400 HP, heavily resists physicals, halves Fire, and is weak to Slash/Water/Earth.


Name: Behemoth
Fought at: Remains of Hell - Before Ancient City, Hell of Blazing Fires
Current skills:
**Double Attack
**Flare: Inflicts 1000 Fire-elemental magic damage to one party member.
Suggested skillset changes:

Behemoths are tough, hitting really hard with physical attacks and with their powerful Flare spells. However, they ALWAYS appear alone, making them much more bearable to fight. Reimu's Cautionary Border or the Vanish Charm makes easy work of these foes. Behemoth has 2000 HP, heavily resists physicals, and is semi-weak to Gravity.


Name: Zombie Fairy
Fought at: Remains of Hell - Before Ancient City, Hell of Blazing Fires, Chireiden
Current skills:
**Drain: Inflicts 150 non-elemental magic damage to one party member and absorbs damage as HP to user.
**Gravity: Reduces party's HP by 1/4 their current HP.
**Fog: Dummied skill.
**Pain: Inflicts Poison: oo, Blind: oo, and Silence: oo to one party member.
**Stun: Inflicts Paralyze: 50 turns to one party member.
**Sleep: Inflicts Sleep: 50 turns to one party member.
**Silence: Inflicts Silence: oo to one party member.
**Berserk: Inflicts Berserk: oo to one party member.
**Death: Inflicts Instant Death to one party member.
**Resurrection: Revives all KO'd allies with 50% Max HP. Only used if alone.
**Cura: Restores 500 HP to one party member.
Suggested skillset changes:

Zombie Fairies, like all other fairies, love using magic spells. In this case, these particular fairies prefer using status spells to debilitate the party while keeping the HP of their own side up. They never really attack, so they can't really kill the player except through the use of the Death spell or their rare physical attack. Zombie Fairy has 1200 HP, absorbs Shadow, is immune to Earth, halves Gravity, is semi-weak to Ghost, and is weak to Wind/Holy.


Name: Ruby Dragon *NOTORIOUS MONSTER*
Fought at: Remains of Hell - Before Ancient City, Hell of Blazing Fires
Current skills:
**Firaga: Inflicts 1400 Fire-elemental magic damage to one party member.
**Flare: Inflicts 3000 Fire-elemental magic damage to one party member.
**Meteor: Inflicts 3000 non-elemental magic damage to the party.
**Flare Breath: Inflicts 800 Fire-elemental damage to the party.
**Curaga: Restores 3000 HP to one ally. Only used when HP is below 50% Max HP.
**Fira: Inflicts 300 Fire-elemental magic damage to the party.
**Aera: Inflicts 300 Wind-elemental magic damage to the party.
**Gravira: Reduces the party's HP by 1/2 their current HP.
Suggested skillset changes:

Ruby Dragons are tough. Really tough. However, they CAN still be beaten even with the party the player is forced to use. The player just has to hope that it doesn't decide to use Meteor, as it's its rarest skill. Red Hats are key to mitigating the amount of damage it can do, as most of its attacks are Fire-elemental in nature. Momiji's job should be to Provoke and then Sentinel to keep the damage off of the other characters while they beat down on it and keep Momiji from dying. Luckily, Ruby Dragons are always encountered alone. Ruby Dragon has 5000 HP, absorbs Fire/Wind, is semi-weak to Gravity, and is weak to Ice/Holy. Ruby Dragons have a 5% chance of dropping HP Crystals.


Name: Crystal Dragon *NOTORIOUS MONSTER*
Fought at: Remains of Hell - Before Ancient City, Hell of Blazing Fires
Current skills:
**Gravity: Reduces the party's HP by 1/4 of their current HP.
**Gravira: Reduces the party's HP by 1/2 of their current HP.
**Graviga: Reduces the party's HP by 3/4 of their current HP.
**Tornado: Inflicts 2500 Wind-elemental magic damage to one party member.
**Biora: Inflicts 800 Poison-elemental magic damage and Poison: oo to one party member.
Suggested skillset changes:

Yes, you read right. Remains of Hell has TWO Notorious Monsters, both encountered alone luckily. Crystal Dragon is the least threatening of the two, however, as it doesn't have an AoE attack spell. However, it prefers to reduce the party's HP constantly with Gravity spells, making it super easy to kill them afterwards with a regular attack, Tornado, or Biora. Momiji once again should focus to Provoking and using Sentinel. Crystal Dragon has 8888 HP, absorbs Fire/Water/Wind, heavily resists physicals, is immune to Earth, halves Ice/Mystic, is semi-weak to Gravity, and is weak to Pierce/Lightning. Crystal Dragons has a 5% chance of dropping HP Apples.


Name: Hellcat
Fought at: Chireiden
Current skills:
**Double Attack
Suggested skillset changes:

Hellcats are simple enemies, as they only use regular attacks and regular double attacks. However, they always appear in groups of 3+, upwards to 6 at a time, and are really fast (140 speed), making it real easy to get overwhelmed by them. Vanish Charm and Cautionary Border are key to avoiding them and making the fight simple. Hellcat has 800 HP and are weak to Water/Earth.


Name: Tsuchigumo
Fought at: Chireiden
Current skills:
**Poison: Inflicts 14 Poison-elemental magic damage and Poison: oo to one party member. 80% accuracy.
**Poisonga: Inflicts 20 Poison-elemental magic damage and Poison: oo to the party. 80% accuracy.
**Bio: Inflicts 100 Poison-elemental magic damage and Poison: oo to one party member.
**Bio: Inflicts 100 Poison-elemental magic damage and Poison: oo to the party.
Suggested skillset changes:

Tsuchigumos are frail foes, but can really hurt if they spam Bio on the party. Poison Ring is the key to dealing with this, and with the Bane Shield on Momiji doesn't have to worry about Poison at all. Tsuchigumo has 999 HP, absorbs Poison, and is weak to Earth.


Name: Spirit Orb
Fought at: Chireiden
Current skills:
**Self-Destruct: Inflicts non-elemental unblockable damage to the party. Only used when HP is below 50% Max HP.
**Fantasy Orb: Inflicts 200 Holy-elemental damage to one party member.
**Enigmatic Pearl: Inflicts 260 non-elemental magic damage to one party member.
**Spiritual Orbs: Inflicts 200 Holy-elemental damage to one party member and absorbs damage as HP to user. 85% accuracy.
Suggested skillset changes:

Continuing the tradition of orbs using Reimu's moves, these guys...well, they use Reimu's moves. They also hurt a bit, especially if they gang up on one party member. However, they only usually appear in pairs and sometimes with a Zombie Fairy, so they're not too difficult to fight against. Spirit Orb has 1000 HP, absorbs Holy/Shadow, heavily resists physicals, halves Fire/Ice/Lightning/Water/Wind, is immune to Poison, and is weak to Pierce/Earth.


Name: Kisume *BOSS*
Fought at: Remains of Hell - Phase 1 & Phase 2
Current skills:
**Charge Up: Charges up to deal double damage with a physical attack next turn.
**Well Destructor: Inflicts 300 non-elemental magic damage and Poison: oo, Blind: oo, and Silence: oo to the party. 80% accuracy.
**Flying in a Well: Inflicts 300 non-elemental magic damage and Paralyze: 50 turns to the party.
Suggested skillset changes:

Kisume's biggest threat in this battle is Flying in a Well, which if it inflicts Paralysis on the party, then it's game over. Youkai Rings can take care of Well Destructor's debilitating statuses easily. While it may seem like it's unfair, the player can see Kisume on the map before engaging her, so they can set their party up in advance, and she's not too terribly far into the dungeon proper, so if need be they can always go back and buy the necessary items and equipment to deal with her.

During Phase 2, Kisume is fought alongside Parsee the first time, then later fought again alongside Parsee and Tenshi. She should always be the first one to be disposed of to make the battles much more easier to deal with.

Kisume has 5000 HP, is semi-weak to Gravity, and is weak to Blunt/Earth.


Name: Marilith *BOSS*
Fought at: Chireiden - Phase 1
Current skills:
**Double Attack
**Defend
**Flametongue: Inflicts 400 Fire-elemental physical damage to one party member.
**Ice Brand: Inflicts 400 Ice-elemental physical damage to one party member.
**Thunder Slash: Inflicts 400 Lightning-elemental physical damage to one party member.
**Liquid Steel: Inflicts 400 Water-elemental physical damage to one party member.
**Excalibur: Inflicts 400 Holy-elemental physical damage to one party member.
**Zantetsu: Inflicts 500 non-elemental physical damage and Instant Death to one party member. 60% accuracy.
Suggested skillset changes:

Marilith isn't a very tough fight compared to Lich and Kraken, as she can only attack one target at a time. Momiji with Provoke is key to this battle, as she can deal with Marilith's attacks the best, although the player should keep an eye out for Zantetsu in the event Instant Death procs. Partway into the battle, Utsuho will join the fight and can make quicker work of Marilith than everyone else; however, she is so slow that at this point if the player is leveled up sufficiently (around level 20), they will be able to get 2 actions to Utsuho's 1. Marilith has 8000 HP, absorbs Fire, is semi-weak to Gravity, and is weak to Ice.


Name: Yuugi Hoshiguma *BOSS*
Fought at: Remains of Hell: Entrance (Phase 2)
Current skills:
**Charge Up: Charges up physical attack to do double damage next turn.
**Storm on Mt. Ooe: Inflicts 800 non-elemental magic damage to the party.
**Four Devas Arcanum: Inflicts 1500 Earth-elemental physical damage and Instant Death to one party member.
Suggested skillset changes:

Yuugi can be fought with any party configuration, making this fight much more bearable as you don't have to use Reimu, Marisa, and Momiji only. However, Yuugi hits like a truck and you're going to need to be on constant healing duty with someone. In addition, due to Storm on Mt. Ooe, Yuuka, Aya, and Meiling are at risk of being OHKO'd easily making their usage less than viable. Patchouli can be used to great effect if she has Gaia Barrier as she naturally halves magic damage. Yuugi has 10,000 HP, absorbs Earth, heavily resists physicals, halves Fire/Ice/Lightning/Water/Holy/Shadow, and is weak to Wind.


Name: Parsee Mizuhashi *BOSS*
Fought at: Remains of Hell - Phase 2
Current skills:
**Green-Eyed Monster: Inflicts 350 non-elemental magic damage and Confusion: oo to one party member.
**Tongue-Cut Sparrow: Inflicts 150 non-elemental magic damage and Silence: oo to the party.
**Midnight Anathema: Inflicts 700 non-elemental magic damage and Confusion: oo to one party member. Ignores Defense.
Suggested skillset changes:

Believe it or not, but Parsee is IDENTICAL to how she was on Youkai Mountain, abilities and stats and all (bar her steal). She is fought first alongside Kisume, and then later with Kisume and Tenshi. Parsee is best taken out after Kisume as she can still inflict the most amount of damage with Midnight Anathema and inflict statuses.


Name: Tenshi Hinanawi *BOSS*
Fought at: Remains of Hell: Ancient Bridge - Phase 2
Current skills:
**Divine Pillar: Inflicts 550 Earth/Holy-elemental physical damage to one party member.
**Six Earthquakes: Inflicts 200 Earth-elemental physical damage to the party.
**Heaven & Earth Press: Inflicts 500 Earth-elemental physical damage and reduces Defense to 0 to one party member.
**Enlightenment: Increases Attack/Defense/Magic by 100 to user. Only used when HP is above 75% Max HP.
**Non-Conceptual Power: Inflicts 280 non-elemental Pierce damage to the party.
**Unletting Soil: Inflicts 450 Earth-elemental physical damage to the party.
Suggested skillset changes:

Tenshi reverts to using her first fight's skillset in conjunction with a couple skills from the second fight, without using any of the Rocks from before or spellcards. She hurts quite a bit, but is a lot more bearable to fight than the previous fight. Tenshi should be the final one taken down as Kisume and Parsee, whom are fought alongside her, are more dangerous. Tenshi has 5000 HP, absorbs Earth, heavily resists physicals/Ghost, halves Lightning/Mystic, is semi-weak to Magic, and is weak to Wind.


Name: Utsuho Reiuji *BOSS*
Fought at: Hell of Blazing Fires
Current skills:
**Charge Up: Charges up to make next physical attack twice as powerful.
**Shooting Star: Inflicts 500 non-elemental magic damage to the party.
**Shooting Sun: Reduces party's HP by 1/4 their current HP. Occurs twice one shortly after another.
**Hell Geyser: Inflicts 500 Gravity-elemental damage to one party member. Ignores Defense. 85% accuracy.
**Petit Flare: Inflicts 700 Gravity-elemental damage to the party. Ignores Defense. 85% accuracy. Only used when HP is below 50% Max HP.
Suggested skillset changes:

As you may have guessed, Utsuho hurts. A LOT. There's no easy way of dealing with her attacks as there's no ways of dealing with Gravity-elemental attacks this early in the game. Provoke helps take Hell Geyser and Charge Up off of the others, but Shooting Sun is still a major threat, and the longer the fight drags out, the more of a chance of Petit Flare showing up to wipe out the party. In addition, Shooting Sun acts like Gravity, but will occur a short time later for a second hit, meaning the player has to keep aware and heal when necessary to avoid having their HP reduced too much before Shooting Star and Petit Flare shows up. Utsuho has 9999 HP, heavily resists physicals/magic/Gravity, is immune to Earth, halves Fire/Ice/Lightning/Wind/Holy/Shadow, and is weak to Water.


Name: Lich *BOSS*
Fought at: Hell of Blazing Fires
Current skills:
**Drainra: Inflicts 900 non-elemental magic damage to one party member and absorbs damage as HP to user. 80% accuracy.
**Gravira: Reduces the party's HP by 1/2 their current HP.
**Flare: Inflicts 1000 Fire-elemental magic damage to one party member.
**Earthquake: Inflicts 500 Earth-elemental physical damage to the party.
Suggested skillset changes:

While Lich hits really hard, and you only control Utsuho for this fight, it's impossible to lose as with Mokou, Utsuho will be at full HP/MP. The only way to lose is to use Kamikaze, but why would you do that after coming this far? Lich has 30,000 HP, absorbs Shadow, is immune to Earth, is semi-weak to Gravity, and is weak to Fire/Holy.

I see you post these updates a lot, both here and on RMRK, and I'm confused as to why. The information is very in-depth and I'm sure there are some people who are interested in this level of detail, but it seems a bit much for the average visitor to digest.


"This is to keep tabs on each area's data and potentially revamp enemies/bosses from each area." - Taken from first line in post. It's an easier way of me finding things myself and keeping track of what's changed and whatnot, plus as you said, people may be interested in learning about the enemies. Even moreso if they're stuck at a particular enemy and need to know what they need in order to fight it better.
