Secret of Mana

[Barack Obama]

Looks like I was misinterpreting something? I was ignoring the thing with the enemy level since there was no way to find them out.

Dropped chests contain the following traps depending on the enemy's level.
Level 1-10: Punch glove, Poison needle or Bomb
Level 11-15: Bomb
Level 16-25: Riot gas
Level 26-30: Stone trap
Level 31-36: Mimic box
Level 36-99: Doom Trap or Shadow Zero (1/8 of the time)

I'm currently flying around with the Flammie Drum code like an idiot, all with level 28, unlimited MP, a code that spawns a chest after each enemy and an agility value of 1 for each party member.


I always wondered why the Upper Land enemies get me Riot Gas traps, the Pandora Kingdom enemies have Punch Glove, Poison Needles & Bomb and the Lofty Mountains/Pure Land/Mana Fortress enemies only have the Doom Trap. It seems my level doesn't matter.

Then I discovered that the enemies in Secret of Mana actually have levels:

These ones may be able to get me the Stone Trap:

Weepy Eye Lv.28 = Ice Palace
Specter Lv.27 = Ice Palace
Shellblast Lv.26 = Ice Palace/Ice Country
Robin Foot Lv.28 = Fire Palace
Red Drop Lv.27 = Fire Palace
Mystic Book Lv.28 = Ice Palace
Grave Bat Lv.30 = East Ruins (Northtown Ruins)
Dinofish Lv.29 = Imperial Sewers
Blue Drop Lv.27 = Ice Palace

I'm also pretty sure that each enemy has a custom loot table plus specific traps, just like the mana orbs in the Mana Fortress, which can be only found in treasure chests from certain enemies (each orb has its own enemy).

If that doesn't work, I'll give up on the Stone Trap. There are enough other things to rip.
