Intro:
Did you know? Enemies have the small drop rate chance of 6.25%, making it some time consuming to get some desirable items.
One of those items is the Tinkerbell, know in this game as Tinklebell, dropped from Twintania. It's not a good weapon, but it's the best bell from the entire game.
And, complementary to this, it's a drop from a boss enemy. A tough one. If you miss it, you won't get the chance to get it again.

The purpose of this guide is making the most effective way of getting the item. Note, it will be CHEAP. But is the faster way, so you can keep doing your things in the game.

Requeriments:
Pre-Requisits:
• The cursor location, on the options, must be "Remember".
• Game on Window screen.
• 4 Black Mages equipped with Reflect Ring. You can get those from some enemies.
• At least 2 characters with "Equip Shield" abillity, with Ice Shield. (Recommendated)

How to:
With the four black mages ready, you'll need to go to this area.


This is the "resume" point. Everytime you don't get the item, you'll restart here.
Keep following the way up, until you enter the battle.

The first important part of the guide:


Wait for everyone bar fill up. Now, with the Black Magic command, use Firaga on EVERYONE of your party. It will reflect, so you will cause 4x times the damage you would cause using it normally on the boss.

Usually, Twintania counters the attacks with Mega Flare. But don't worry, it will also be reflected.


Now that everyone used they commands, hit the "Auto" key, and let it happen. You can now change the window and do other things, just wait for the boss get killed.

When it does, back to the game and keep confirming the dialogues, until the drops window appear.

For the second important part, if you don't get the item, close the game, reopen it, and hit the "Resume" button on the main screen. It'll lead you to the "resume" point.

Then, you simply repeat this until you get that desired Tinkerbell.

Complementary Info:
On personal side, I've spent about 1 hour trying to get it, and at the same time, making this guide. You can be lucky and get it on the first try, or will take some good time.

Twintania sometimes attacks with Snowstorm, an strong ice spell that can't be reflected. This is where the Ice Shields come in hand, they will absorve the damage, so you can keep some of your party members alive for the rest of the battle.

Also, the faster the boss is killed, better, because after some turns, it will transform into its charging form, and can kill the whole party. And, on side note, in this form, you will drop a Murasame instead of the Tinkerbell.

This guide is based on the wikipedia information of Twintania and ways of beating it. I've adapted it to make a easy way getting it dropped item. The links is bellow:

Does Twintania not have a chance to drop Tinklebell in Cloister of the Dead?

If you've mastered monk and ninja, and learned rapid fire, be a freelancer with two strong weapons (especially holy lance and excalibur for the holy elemental) and spam rapid fire. Best if the whole team does it; you can wipe this guy out in two rounds, maybe just one.

Thank you sir. Now I feel fullfiled. My geomancer can be cute fairy.
That's even more surprising than discovering how powerful are dancers.

IMPORTANT NOTE (for me): You can see an animation after fight and until end of this animation game does not overwrite your QuickSave. Just to make sure you don't close game too quickly when screen blackens (a little or fully) to Loot Window.

Thanks for your awesome guide! I got the Tinkerbell in the 30th attempt (I guess that I was lucky). If I can add something more to your guide is that if you equip Flame Rods or the Magus Rod, it will boost the Firaga damage.
