    How to unlock Bottom of the 9999th!


    - Defeat opponents, defeat higher level opponents by combining enemies, take advantage of bonus list experience, use experience boosting geo panels and common used maps, take advantage of the level 99 trick, pass strong enemy bills in senate to keep experience gain high, unlock and use MOO 4, capture and maximize statisticians, LOC.

    Gaining levels is something that almost never really ends in Disgaea. Considering you can store up to 186,000 levels plus the last 9999 at max levels, a single trip to 9999 should be no problem right? It’s all about access to the right map and the right materials. With the proper setup, leveling is a breeze. The hard part is the slow road leading up to that access. Sometimes it helps to focus on one main tank that will get most of the leveling done as opposed to a whole team getting levels.

    Start by playing through the story mode as it is presented to you. Clearing maps as you go, replaying the occasional map for some extra experience when needed. Do a few trips to the item world to boost your weapons and armor. Just keep playing along until you get to map 5-2. This is your first chance at a real grinding map. Take advantage of the exp boosting blocks here. As this level starts to give less exp for your trouble, try throwing enemy monster units into each other to combine them and increase their level by the sum total of the two. You can also pass enemy stronger bills to keep the exp gain at a high level. Do not exceed level 99 though. The amount of exp gained at that level plateaus off until level 325 or so, so it does no good to drive the level any higher then 99 unless you are going for an enemy level of higher than 325. The exp gain is the same. Grind 5-2 for awhile with level 99 enemies and this will help boost you quite a bit. Remember to set the enemies back at their weakest level once you move the story ahead again. The next decent grinding map is on 9-4, but still with enemies under 99, so either one will do really.

    Repeated trips to the item world can also help. The enemies get strong fast and often there are experience prizes in the geo bonus lists. On very high floors, take advantage of reverse damage and invincible panels to wipe out much stronger enemies than you for some serious level gains. Once you get any item past floor 20, you can also now reverse pirate. See Master Crafter and Pirate Is As Pirate Does for help and details on how. Load up a single reverse pirate map. Pick an item that has room for innocents, and then remove all of the subdued ones first. Go to the first RP map and look first to see if the innocents on the stage are a Statistician at all. If not, reload. Keep loading and searching until you find one. Once you do, make sure you kill that innocent first as quick as you can, and that you survive the RP mission. This is the most important innocent of all.

    If doing this the long way, clear many items and subdue many Statisticians and keep combining them until you get a single one of value 300. Repeat this process until you have up to 16 of them. If you want to do it the much faster way, use the duping trick and ensure the Statistician is on the item. Make a bunch of copies and combine away. You will have 16 max 300 Statisticians in no time this way. Equip 1 ally with 2 armor items that have 8 innocent openings, and give them all 16 Statisticians. Do not go over 16 of them though as it caps out at this value. With this gear you will level up incredibly fast. Ensure you have the Training Ground Evil Symbol in good use while you grind away. Level up as many other allies as you can.

    Keep playing along and build up mana until you have enough to unlock the Mountain of Ordeals (MOO). Pass this bill right away, and clear all 4 maps. What you want is the fourth maps. The 3rd map is no joke though, and will test your skills. Once the 4th map is available, you have found grinding paradise. You will play this one map more than all others combined probably. Make sure your unit has a good AOE skill (like Big Bang), and go out and kick some MOO4 butt. With the Statisticians on your unit, you will gain levels fast. As you start to plateau on exp gain, pass SEBs to raise their levels. If you are fortunate enough to have unlocked the LOC (see Carnage in the Streets), go there and clear MOO4 for some real exp gain. 9999 will not only be obtainable by this point, but also easily repeatable. Trophy will pop after first map you clear at level 9999.
