These games are packed with optional stuff not required to beat them, like Gruntys, but I covered those elsewhere. This guide will cover optional characters, dungeons, and other little things.
Goblin Tag
The goblins love to "play tag." Of course it's not your usual game of tag. You must go to their field alone and try to kill them. But there's something new. You again have to beat three goblins per round but this time you can bring party members with you to help out! Each of the first four goblins will give you a piece of the rare goblin armor. Defeating the fifth will net you the key item "Imp's Crown." Equip all four pieces of the armor after getting the pin and you'll be able to cast the final Gob-summon...King of Goblin!
[Sigma] Detestable Elusive Sunny Demon
Goblin: Stehoney X / HP: 1450
[Sigma] Detestable Elusive Messenger
Goblin: Jonue X / HP: 1590
[Sigma] Detestable Elusive Scent
Goblin: Zyan X / HP: 1730
[Sigma] Detestable Elusive New Truth
Goblin: Albert X / HP: 1870
Since you are allowed to bring party members be sure to pump them up with Speed Charms + accuary & attack boosting "blood" items as well as yourself. The first two set of goblins are rather easy and don't even have any magic. Make good use of Saber Dance against 'em. The Zyan X squad can use Ola Repth and curse you to drain your SP but the same strats still apply. Two physical attacker party members, set to use skills, and Saber Dance with Kite. And of course powered up physical attack/accuracy. Albert X can't heal but can use the damaging MeGan Rom spell so drink a Beast Blood and some Well Water if you're wary of its damage. The strategy for winning is to power your party up and then take full control of them. Use the "Designate Target" command for fighters and for Wavemasters try to choose their spells for them. Also lower his magical defense and put him to sleep with The Moon!
[Sigma] Detestable Elusive Gate
Goblin: Martina X / HP: 2010
Despite what I once advised, totally DO bring Wavemasters along! If they have "Pha" level magic you're good to go! You'll want to take away her magic tolerance with a Beast's Bane and put her to sleep with The Moon so be sure to use the magical attack and accuracy enhancing items. With her asleep jump in their and spam magic attacks! The Martinas can cast Ol Repth but that isn't much to worry about. The field is setup to allow the goblins to get trapped against objects somewhat easily and the fight isn't very hard. Guess they wanted to go easy on you for the final gob battle?
King of Goblin is the reward for beating these five goblins. It's a non-elemental summon that attacks one enemy. Being the last of the Goblin summon series its power isn't to shabby and the casting cost not to bad compared with other summons.
Dungeons
There are dungeons out there that hold rare items you will want to get your hands on. But what are the keywords needed to find these areas? Read below to find out! Be wary of these dungeons though as they are chock full of Data Bugs. By the way, you'll need to treasure chests and Gott Statues to find these things.
[Omega] Sickened Imprisoned Fallen Angel - Lv.78 Thunder
- Rare Item:
Risky Coffee: A unique item in name, but in effect it's the same as a Noble Wine. Found in the Gott Statue.

Rare Item:
- Christmas Card: Trade to Jutah for the rare Wavemaster weapon the Silent Bomber. Found in the Gott Statue.

Wondering whats with all the white? Secret post-game characters! Look at 'em only after beating the game and epilogue as needed.
Hero of Zeit
The Hero of Zeit. Like the goblins, this is another special event that you can participate in any time you wish. The point of this event is to get the the end of any dungeon starting with the keyword "Chronicling" in a speedy way. The time to beat for first place is 2 minutes and 12 seconds set by Balmung himself. If you're able to beat that time you will get a set of rare time armor! Rank in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th place and you'll only receive one piece of the set. Bring Speed Charms and Fairy Orbs!
Ryu Books
Ryu Books are Key Items generated after using Data Drain a number of times. Within these books holds the records of your gameplay, and the key to unlocking additional desktop accessories, music, and videos. Using Data Drain 80 times may sound overwhelming but if you're looking for virus cores, good equipment, or just need to weaken monsters that keep getting revived your count will go up in no time.
10: Ryu Book I
20: Ryu Book II
30: Ryu Book III
40: Ryu Book IV
50: Ryu Book V
60: Ryu Book VI
70: Ryu Book VII
