It's a random town event like any other. I used to think you needed 7fp with Amber and Dylas but other members said that beating the second arc is the only requirement...

The Siren's gimmick is that she's in water. You have to run around her pool to hit her. She's also resistant to any elemental attacks, will summon monsters on occasion, and can afflict status ailments, although I can't remember which all she does.

She sounds like a treat. I have a feeling I'll be having flashbacks to La Saia from Dark Cloud while fighting her... So I'll want a high level, non-elemental weapon with a long reach to fight her then. I can do that. What kind of monsters would you recommend as back-up? If she summons monsters then I think I'll need some crowd control and I don't think my usual Green and Silver Wolf will help too much against her. Especially since my Wolf has no sense of self-preservation.

Sadly, no. :/

If you're desperate to get it, you can just sleep with Amber and Dylas in your party. When they leave, it means you got an event with them involved. If you sleep too much and nothing, then you probably activated a different town event. You can reload if that happens.

If it's any consolation, the third arc sucks. Imo at least.

You can try making a Diamond Brooch and equipping it. It helped me when I was stuck with trying to beat her.

You have beaten the second arc when you're finished with the Floating Empire. I'm just adding that, because sometimes people finish the Sechs Territory only and are surprised why arc 3 won't trigger.

I always just used water shoes to fight her. She was never really a problem for me like the other RP bosses. Seems like she spends a lot of the fighting time just sitting there in the water.

My taming skill is 42 and I still have issues taming monsters. Trying to get to the 50 monsters mark is a pain.

LOL I love fighting her with the water shoes man. She really does spend a TON of time just sitting around and disappearing though..

Ah, the siren. Annoying is definitely the word for her. I just grabbed my spear (I think it was a Broniac at the time) and just kept stabbing her XD It took me forever, but I managed it.

You can also try going to Sharance Maze and finding a really strong weapon from some of the treasure chests. That's how I got my Saint Axe.

Anyway, I noticed that on the last date I had at the black smith's gave me a courage badge. Can you only get accessories from those dates?

Nope, you can make them with your crafting table.

I think she was asking if you only get accessories from that date as in you dont get weapons or shoes or etc.. I wouldn't know the answer tho sorry

Oh, sorry I read the question differently. I have only ever gotten accessories from those dates so I believe that all you can get.
