| Lv. 5 Imp (x2) | Medal of the Weak, Thin Cape | Bullying |
| Lv. 5 Zombie (x2) | Hooked Claw, Thin Cape | Predation |

This level will introduce you to Geo Symbols, Geo Panels and Geo Effects. If you've never played a Disgaea game before, it's highly advisable that you watch the tutorial to get a grasp on this concept, as it will be used throughout the game. For now, you have the Enemy Boost +50% sitting on the central area, where the enemies are sitting. That's a big no-no, as their attack and defense will increase by 50% as long as they are standing on those green tiles. So, start the battle by bringing out a ranged attacker and destroying the green Geo Symbol, making the blue area turn green, which makes that entire area now Ally Boost +50%.
You now have to make a choice here, as the Ally Boost effect will be extremely beneficial in clearing the stage without any problems, since there's only four enemies. Destroying the yellow Geo Symbol will spread the EXP +50% effect across the entire map, making it so that any enemies defeating while sitting on that color will grant more experience. It's entirely up to you what you want to do, as the slightly extra EXP will help, especially with lower level characters. Another thing you can do is have a character move next to the EXP Geo Symbol, pick it up and then toss it onto the area affected by the Ally Boost effect, essentially giving you two beneficial effects.

| This map represents your first real method in leveling up your characters, but it should be held off until you begin the third episode and unlock the Dark Assembly. Note that on second visits, you will have an extra Zombie to deal with, but everything else remains the same. Do the same thing as above, destroying the Enemy Boost symbol, then toss the EXP one onto the middle area. Once you've done this, make a tower with your characters, putting the strongest defensive one at the bottom. Now, just kill the enemies and go to the Cheat Shop to adjust the enemy strength until you can level to around 50-60. |
