im level 24ish and i jus beat tiamet im thinking about slowing down and going back and leveling etc doing side quests
is there any side quests to do besides hunts?
and wheres a good place to level

Well, I leveled in Lhusu mines at the mass skeleton spawning area for good money + exp and lp at first and tiamat iicrc is the one in henne mines?

ya

you can try to do some espers if youve already got the dawn shard but i highly doubt ud be able to. my charas were like 10lvls below adramelch n beat him no problem. as for the others there a feild status that make then 100x harder.
Im about to do the last 2 espers but i need to lvl past 60 >.<. try as many hunts as u can and get golden armlets to let u have 2x the lp u get from monters its a fast way to get most of ur lisence board covered and lets you experiment more.

well i leveld up in the forest that connects u to the Eryt Village(Fran's Village) i was leveling, getting loot, and getting LP. i was there for a very long time. i prolly got 4rm like level 20-30. didnt take that long to get it. after that 4rm like level 40-50(im 50-51 where i am rite now) i level'd up at Giruvegan(dunno if correct spelling) i got alot of loot and lp. its alot especially when u have the accessorie that doubles the amount of LP u get in a battle agaisnt boss battles i make sure every1 on my team is wearing this. for vaan i usually equip the theif's cuffs but after stealing i take it off and put dobule the lp. The 3 guys that are on the field battling i equip the accessorie that dobules the amount of exp u earn after a battle and the other 3 characters that are in the resever slot have double the lp. Those are 2 items that u 4 sure wanna get ASAP if u wanna level up. im at like 41 hours and at level 51-51-51-50-50-50. in the walkthrough im on page 194 and walkthrough ends at page 224 some im pretty close in beating the game, before i beat the game ill prolly finish all side quests, and hunts.....etc

What lvl are you supposed to be for him? I was at lvl 35 and had lots of trouble. :/

vaan- lvl 37 fran lvl-32 all others around lvl 30. Try setting ur gambits as folllows if you have them. Vaan-1st slot attack undead to deal with all the spawning corpses and Fran set to attack Flying with a bow. Set Curaja On your 3rd party member like so Ally: Any Hp<50% make sure to keep protect and shell up also. Use a quickening when u get swarmed by corpses. Or you can wait till u get a 4th chara n have them do what they do while you have this set up.

btw if you think adramelch is hard wait til u get to chaos >.<
