Mintia: The "Dark" MOMO MOMO's Secret Ether/Tech Attack requires that you beat a boss called Mintia first. Mintia is on the 2nd floor of the Ironman Bar. It's only available after or during the Gnosis Attack on the Foundation and when you have MOMO as an onscreen character. To get there, turn the crank in front of the bar so that the sunshade pops out. Then go into Our Treasure Inn and come out on the second floor fire escape.Head toward the far right and blow up the obstacle at the end. Then jump off onto the Sunshade and walk across to the open window. Make sure your controller is slightly tilted so that you don't fall off. If the conditions have been met, then Mintia should appear and talk with you. She'll formally challenge you to a battle. I didn't find her too hard, but I didn't know she was there until I reached Proto Merkabah so I suppose my opinion is a bit biased. Anyways I think of her as the "Dark MOMO" because she has many similar attacks but in a dark element (ex. Dark Star instead of Miracle Star). Make sure you are thoroughly prepared though, for she is considered one of the toughest bosses in Episode 1. She particularly hates the males of the group so good luck. After the battle, you get MOMO's Tech Attack, Dark Sceptor. FINALLY! You get a powerful close range tech attack that's physical based instead of ether. As an added bonus, Dark Sceptor, when used as a final blow, can turn many Gnosis into items. You also typically get the Penguin Rod after you win but you can sometimes also get the Craft Apron. Or you can just steal one and you'll get the other after the battle. The Penguin Rod is a good weapon, but you find the more powerful Dragon Rod on Proto Merkabah to be MOMO's ace in the whole weapon. All in all, the Mintia battle is a difficult one but very rewarding when you win. I wish you the best in fighting her! [Back]
