View source for Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinstrals Manipulation Route

Refer to [[Lufia 2: Rise of the Sinstrals Route]] for manipulation through Catfish. This guide begins after the catfish kill. Note that this guide assumes some general knowledge of the run and as a result, will be more sparse for the more technical details of dungeons. This is mostly for actions to take for bosses and inventory/equipment management.
