III. Fishing tips

1. Use high level lures to get good fish
2. You can buy the ultimate lure at the Fairy town at the item store.
3. In order for lures to be more effective use tech to attract more fish.
4. You'll see if your doing it right if a bubble pops up telling what tech you have done.
5. To target a specific fish look at the sign post. The list of fish in the post will tell you how common the fish is, and what kind of fishes live in the Fishing spot. The fish on the top of the list is the most common and the bottom fish is the rare. If your targeting a specific fish look for a Fishing spot that it is listed in a higher level. Also it is a good idea to select a lure that the other fish will not bite.
6. Some fish will require time for it to bite.
7. Some fishes are located far away, use rods with long range.
8. There is another ultimate lure that you can buy but it will only show up after finishing the game. The shop is located at the Abandoned village, if you' ve played Breath of Fire III you'll see a familiar face.
9. In fishing in BOF4 you need to keep the green line in the middle. If the line gets to low the fish can escape. If the green line gets to high the fishing line will break.
10. Holding the reel button will pull the fish to you but to make the fish come to you faster press the reel button multiple
times. Even if the fish is struggling the fish will the still be pulled. Using this will risk your fish getting of the hook to counter this press down rapidly.
11. to get a better hit synchronize your lure movement with the background music.

IV. Rider

Rider is the strongest monster in the game you can find the monster in Fou-lu's tomb to defeat him you'll need to prepare from the start of the game.

1. Level up at least level 40
2. Play the fishing game and exchange cards for powerful weapons or power ups.
3. Level up your fairy troops to the max

Battle strategy

1. Equip the strongest equipment, it would also help to equip accessories that absorbs elemental attacks or Cupid's lyre.
2. Use dodge seed to evade melee attacks. The Rider's melee attack is very strong, it is better to dodge the attack than to resist.

Note: try getting Slicer from Chompo, it is a sword with +1 to hit

3. Go to your Fairy town and put your fairies into relax this will prevent the food stock from losing to fast. Select all the fairies and put them into your troops.
4. When the battle starts change Ryu to Kaiser and put him in front. When the battle starts use double blow and follow up with Fairy charge and Fairy attack.

VI. Troubleshooting

1. Random crashes

I seems that Bof4 is sensitive with anti-viruses, disable your anti- virus before playing the game.

Note: You may have a problem with Norton 2007 because this anti-virus only will only transfers either from the taskbar or the systray but not exit

2. Fou-lu's scene
The game stall's in the scene where Fou-lu is hit by Hex. This may be a graphics card problem, upgrade your graphics card.
