Notes
The game has 6 endings. Which one you get is based on how quickly you clear chapter 8 and dialogue choices in chapters 26 & 27. In a single playthrough, it’s possible to see all but two of these endings. I show the 4 possible endings I can get in this run. It’s up to the viewer to search for the other two endings as I’m not willing to play through the game again.

Capture traps work on percentage chance and trying to catch an enemy in an animation or weakening them doesn’t improve the chance for the trap to hit. Early on, I experiment with this given the lack of information about this game and kept it for the video so that you can see it doesn’t matter and because I'm lazy.

You do not gain more experience for capturing, it allows you to remove souls for MP gains which really shouldn’t be necessary or after chapter 6, collect the corpse for monster creation. The gold reward isn’t increased for capturing but capturing is the easiest way to collect gold from the final enemy in each level.

You have the option of adding rooms and hallways to the castle but you can’t change the default shape and given that enemies spawn in fixed positions, I just didn’t see any good reason to mess with it. Masks are similarly useless.

I only bother making the werewolf monster because he’s the best one in terms of cost, power, size and speed. Size mattering here, because if there isn’t enough space for it around you, you can’t summon the monster. I considered making Lami for magic damage but the tough enemies tend to have equal resistance to physical and magic, making it pointless.

Lastly, I only lure additional enemies to collect material for the werewolf and then to fuel the summoning of that werewolf.
