You don't have to melee or PEC, just simply run right up to an enemy from the front and 99% of the time he'll put you in a choke hold.

GT: xI Dstrukt Ix FFVI will always be my favourite. Best soundtrack of the series to date. Possessed the best cohesive storyline of any FF game in my opinion. Each character (aside from the secret ones) had a well developed backstory that was seamlessly integrated into the main story arc. Incredible variety and scope overall.

Just the fire hydrants, nothing else.

That is the location of one of the Armageddon blade shards. You will need the Mask of Shadows to see the hidden bombs on the wall near the torches.

I believe this is the one you're missing. Taken from CaptainTek's guide: ----------------------------- Wrath Shard Requirement – Abyssal Chain In the area with the three hanging guys guarding the wire, if you look to your right before bothering with them, you’ll see some growth. Jump over here and use your grapple to grab it. Climb up to find a souls chest, and a grapple point. Use the grapple point to bring you to a wrath shard. ---------------------------------------------------- If you already got the soul chest, it'll simply look like a small ledge or nook in the wall. If you jump to the ledge and look up you should see the orange grapple point. I hope this is the one you're looking for as I can't remember exactly what is in that section of the map since finishing the game.

Do you have War's Glory equipped on the weapon you're leveling? It goes pretty quick. I was able to level up both the scythe and the glove to 4 in maybe 30 minutes or so starting at 3 for the scythe and maybe 1/4 of the way to 4 for the glove. I'm not quite sure if the combo counter affects the leveling speed but it might. I would consistently get the max combo with the scythe (x51) and over x25+ with the glove per run. Anyway, the spiders in Iron Canopy are by far the fastest.

Return to Samael's location in the Scalding Gallows. The original portal will still be up.

You don't technically 'lose' the ability to see chests. It's a special scenario only applicable to the starting area to demonstrate the use of the hoardseeker item; a tutorial of sorts. I'm not sure why Vigil decided to showcase it in the first area as there are no hoardseekers in the world map only in the actual dungeons.

There is another Life Shard in Drowned Pass. The one where you have to hit the levitating block with your sword in the water. The block is southeast of Vulgrim; look for two cliff faces with a gap in the middle on your map. Once you levitate the block, swim left a little bit to a ramp that leads straight to the block and over to the other cliff where the chest awaits.

It's actually: The Hollow Lord

As you renovate more of your villa, the ramparts will also be restored allowing access to the chests.
