Challenge to Catch and Tame an Aerian!

My Bestiary and Caves Guide for Rune Factory 2 is almost complete now. I lack ONE type of Monster in my Monster Barn. The Monster is the Aerian, a stronger, more powerful, elemental air Monster related to the Ignis and Tundra. It is the very devil to try to tame as it is fast and its attacks take its place almost instantly.

So... who wants to tame an Aerian for me? I am posting this Challenge and Appeal for Aid in order to be able to complete my Bestiary Guide. I do not want some one to copy the information from any source. After all, I could obtain THAT information myself.

What I want is firsthand experience from a player who has succeeded in taming an Aerian. The Aerian is found on the 5th Floor of the Palermo Shrine in the foyer that leads to the four Seasonal Gardens. One can avoid it easily enough and one even can defeat it without too much trouble, using long-distance weapons, but taming it???

Thanks to Robert, who accepted the challenge instantly, I should be able to add the following to the guide:

Aerian: HP 100. Suddenly appears on the wind, then suddenly leaves again. Skill: Cure; Attribute: Wind. Will not help on the farm. War Trophy: Magic Crystal.

Well, I have my own Aerian in my Monster Barn now. I do believe it is the most difficult Monster to tame, although the Ignis and Tundra can be a little vexing as well. The reason why it is difficult is because its actual appearance is extremely brief and, like the Ignis and the Tundra, its attack residue quickly takes its place.

Taming it takes more time than energy really if you are careful. It took me a couple of hours of playing tag with the creature, round and round the Orb Altars and the stairwell...

Growing Gold Crops in Rune Factory 2

In order to grow the rare Gold Crops in Rune Factory 2, you must have access to the Seasonal Chambers on the 5th Floor of the Palermo Shrine and you must have the Inquisitive Waltz Spell. The Inquisitive Waltz really is the KEY to many items in Rune Factory 2, from the Broken Hilt to a Gold Pumpkin.

To use the Inquisitive Waltz, you must clear the chamber of ALL Monsters, and destroy the Generator(s). You then equip the Spell and activate it. The Tame Monster accompanying you will search for hidden items.

I made a video about this, which shows the process. I added it to another post, but here is the link again:



The video shows the Trieste Forest but the process is the same everywhere.

On the 5th Floor of the Palermo Shrine, you will find a Chamber for each of the Four Seasons that contains a Garden. Here you can grow Crops. Indeed you MUST grow Crops in order to unlock the final mystery of the Shrine...

Apart from this, however, each of these Chambers contains a hidden item point that can be discovered using the Inquisitive Waltz.

Here is a new video specifically about the Gold Pumpkin:



As always, when the Inquisitive Waltz is used, you only have a chance of finding a rare item. Most of the time, you will obtain ordinary items... The rare items in the Seasonal Gardens are the elusive Gold Crops. Use your Seed Maker to convert a Gold Crop to seed and then plant the seeds to grow Gold Crops yourself!

Entrance to Palermo Shrine

This information is included in my General Guide for Rune Factory 2 but for players who cannot find it or who still have questions about the method of obtaining entry to the Palermo Shrine, here is a little visual tutorial:
