    Each of the the 4 bosses fought at the World of Darkness crystals (like those guarding the Eureka weapons) will replenish the party afterward, and possibly (it’s been awhile) the Xande clones in treasure chests, too. But, once you enter the World of Darkness, you can’t leave it.

    Cloud of Darkness gives you experience points and gold pieces when you defeat it, despite that not being the case on Famicom.

      You know, I’ve been bitching about this game for so long I’m not surprised I’ve exaggerated some of the details. Wasn’t CoD almost unbeatable if you didn’t know to beat the Xande clones and get ribbons for everyone?

        Defeating the bosses at the dark crystals does that, by freeing up a Dark Warrior to hurl himself at Cloud of Darkness. I believe that weakens Particle Beam, but Cloud of Darkness has more than just the 1 attack in this version. The ribbons are pretty nice, but I don’t think you need their status protection as much. MoogleBoss on YouTube did a low level challenge only using 1 ribbon during that fight.
