Blue Dragon Xbox 360 Achievements
Rachelle Shriver
Simply attack a creature from behind to unlock this achievement. Best way is to level up then return to an earlier plot of land, maybe either side of the Wilderness Camp and they should flee in sight, you then have 4 or 5 seconds to run and attack them. Could also use "Repel Aura" of the Monk class.
Win a Multi-Monster Encounter against at least 10 enemies.
You need to get at least 10 enemies in your encounter circle, battle them all and win.
Where to do it: Southern corner of the Giant Snow Fields (top left corner of your map)
When to do it: Disc 3
There you will find robot spawning robots by a machine going round a crater and they don't flee either. Just run round till you have a group round you there. Get attacked? Simply flee and you get a few seconds of free time when you leave the battle screen to get in a good position. You can get in excess of 14 in a circle so its quite easily possible to do here. Keep track of your most in your Battle Record.
A monster fight happens when two species not only dislike you but dislike each other. You will notice one appear when you use the encounter circle and get two monsters in range. If their names appear in yellow, you have a monster fight on your hands where it is a big free for all. The achievement stipulates that you must only make these fights happen, not actually win them. Best way to do it is near Jibral, get a Chief Rolling Ripper (Beetle like) and a Cockatrice (emu like) in one battle circle and then attack and then flee. Rinse and repeat. 100 will take you less than an hour. Can also get the "50 Flees" achievement at the same time. You can keep track of how many you have done in your battle record.
Find and defeat the rare monster King Poo.
What you need: Need to be on disc 3, and to have defeated both Jumbo Poo and Corrosive Poo in the same region before he appears.
Location: Ancient Ruin Caverns near Talta (where you first landed after the original Land Shark scene.)
Recommended Minimum Level: 80 with really high shadows. 99's in more than 1 recommended.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Water. Plenty of waterus and Water sword do the trick. The double cast is great for casting prerevive and then attacking. Use - Double Cast, Resurrection, Endure, Prerevive.
but if you go to castle jibral at the main gates there should be a blue chest which you need the bule device from
this gives you the poo bracelet
then in the mechat fly all the way down to the southern deserted island ( as far south as you can go )
and there it is
the poo bracelet means you can kill it almost instantly
Find and defeat the rare monster Gold Mecha Robo.
What you need: Loads and loads of strength, patience and magic skills,
Location: Ancient Factory - Towards the far side of the first room, near the Black Barrier.
Recommended Minimum Level: 85 minimum with really really high leveled shadows.
Strengths and Weaknesses: Strengths - Strong and good defense. Weaknesses - None. He has 18,000 health points.
I personally set all my characters to level 99 Sword Attack front row and 99 Black Magic back row. I equipped them with an array of accessories to up their stats, but maily equipped them with Skill +8, Endure, Resurrection, White & Black Magic Level 8, Double Cast and if they have a high Support level (99), use Magic Essence as well.
I got it together with another robot using the encounter circle and used that to build my party ready for it. I used Quickus on the middle of the party fully boosted, I used prerevive on everyone, and used a fully powered Regenera. Then I destroyed the party to move on to the Gold guy.
Once there, I used plenty of Waterus doubled (2 x 1,000 ish), water sword (2,500 ish) all the way through, healing inbetween when necessary. I personally completed it without losing even one character once, so, it's not tough once you are leveled up.
After boarding the mothership after the previous event. You will have to turn off 6 engines. As you turn off 5 a cutscene will be triggered and you and Zola will split up. Go through the portal and then before you board the mechat ship, save and then jump on. Remember, don't choose easy mode and watch the tutorial so you know what you're doing. Shoot the missiles out the sky with the guns (don't overheat them) and them lock on with the missiles to take down Nene. He starts at the front until he takes enough damage then goes to the back and sides until he takes enough damage and then finally he appears in front.
Time in: 12-14 hours approx
Note: Save point just before
After you leave Talta Village on the way to find the villagers, you pass through the mountain pass and come in to the open. There will be a save point, so save and run in to the open and a cut scene will be triggered. The creatures that pop up are NOT random, they come in set places and there are 7 encounters in all. Learn where they spawn to make the task easier. Murbay did a summary of who comes what and where. Take a look below.
Dragon: Max One Class
Max out the rank for one Dragon class. Must go from 98 to 99 without using a Heart enhancement.
First things first. Heed the warning above regarding the heart enhancement. DON'T TEMPT FATE!! If I was you, I wouldn't use them between 97-98 either, just incase. You don't want to ruin it so close to the end!
Anyway, on to business. There are various strategies. First recommendation is to get someone in your party up to Level 50 in the Barrier Class so that you can use Field Barrier 3 at it's full capabilities. It takes 5 MP to activate it and 1 MP for every enemy it defeats. It basically adds a force field round your character in the field stages. Think of a hamster in a ball and its very reminiscent. It only gathers SP from enemies and not experience and gold. Thats A LOT of SP gained before you have to restock your magic. Equip a MP regen and you should be able to walk around till you level up.
You can also leave the controller next to the spawn places I've named below and you can level up without much effort on your behalf.
*Warning - Enemies you haven't faced or stronger enemies break the shield*

Using Heart Enhancements and when to use them.
For each shadow class throughout the game you can use them to level up your ranks by a level at a time. They can be picked up throughout the game or they can be....
Max out the rank for all Dragon classes. Must go from 98 to 99 without using a Heart enhancement.
Simply like the other achievement for one Shadow Level BUT this time, it is EVERY Shadow skill level for EVERY character. Long and arduous task. But settle in a respawning area and you can leave the controller for prolonged periods if you must.
See "Dragon: Max One Class" for details on leveling, tactics and general help.
Once you obtain all five Dragon Fang items, talk to Elder Baum in Kelaso Village. He will take the fangs from you and craft the Dragon Bracelet automatically, the achievement will unlock after your conversation with him.
Warp devices can be activated by a warp key and are located at the major places in the game. Activate all these for an achievement. Chances are you will get most of these while playing through the story, but as soon as you can go to that place, they can be activated.
See this thread HERE for all the locations of them
There are jelly like barriers throughout the game. Five different colours. Blue, Red, Green, White and Black. As you go through the story, Shu and friends will pick up devices that can disable these barriers.
You can unlock the following barrier devices at the following places...
Blue - After visiting the robot town of Baroy.
Red - Defeating the damaged Defense Mecha robot - Ancient Factory.
Green - Pachess town after disabling the green barrier around the town.

Check out this thread HERE for a list of where the barriers are. It comes from a Japanese gaming site, thanks to Jinx for posting.
NOTE - Not sure which barrier you are missing? Speak to the Fortune Teller in the Lal Mountains Sheep Tribe Camp for her to narrow it down to colours you are missing. Great help!
