Growlanser II — what should I check first in Secrets?

⚠️ Troubleshooting

1. Your Formation Collapses in Real-Time Combat

Cause: Late commands and positioning mistakes

Solution: Pause to assess the situation, arrange the healer and frontline positions, then issue commands

2. Weak Equipment Limits Your Damage

Cause: Insufficient Ring Weapon improvements

Solution: Reconfigure gems to optimize elements and effects and update the main party's equipment

3. Not Reaching the Intended Ending

Cause: Insufficient affinity or choice flags

Solution: Check branching requirements and retry choices from a pre-branch save

Multiple Endings and Character Routes

Endings change according to choices and affinity. There are 9 characters to pursue, and their individual confession events and endings occur only on the main imperial route. If you have a particular character in mind, work toward that route and build their affinity.

  • ▸ There are 9 characters to pursue; individual endings are limited to the main route
  • ▸ Affinity changes through conversations, choices, and actions
  • ▸ Manage choices and routes according to the ending you want
Repeat Play and Aiming for COMPLETE

With many branches and different developments on each route, keeping pre-branch saves is an efficient way to see multiple routes. Accumulated COMPLETE ratings can benefit you in some situations, so meet their conditions in missions where you have room to do so.

  • ▸ Keep pre-branch saves to examine other routes efficiently
  • ▸ Accumulated COMPLETE ratings matter later
  • ▸ Choose routes by working backward from desired events and endings
