Page 1: Observations
''Being the mutated form of a mandragora grown near a killing block or other such place where blood is spilled in large quantities, having eyes the color of blood. Writes the naturalist Merlose in her vivid account of an encounter with one such beast: "...gazed I then into those crimson pupils, and witnessed I there its abiding madness."''

If the blood spilled on the ground where it grew was pure, then it is said it will become a mandragora prince, with fell appearance, but hopeful heart.

''Only those with luck in spades might hope to find a lucky four-leaf clover. So goes the tale, and with its telling this humble leaf grew into something sacred and mystical, a bringer of good luck.''

''Yet, few are they who know that the four-leaf clover is host to a deadly poison, string enough to kill the largest of giants. And no wonder so few know. After all, if you happened to be fortunate enough to find something so rare, you'd be unlikely to want to eat it!''

Battle
To spawn the Mandragora Prince, the player must clear out all enemies in "Ice Field of Clearsight" area in the Feywood, then zone out once and come back in. The Mandragora Prince will spawn with the other four Mandragora-class enemies. They will not appear directly in front of the player, however; some amount of scrounging around in the area is required.

Mandragora Prince is one of the few enemies in the game that can reach a level of up to 99. At this level, all physical attacks will be nullified except that of guns, as well as magic attacks.
