Alchemy Recipes for (World of Darkness - Near Tryan Gully)
This page contains Alchemy Recipes for all the items you can make prior to stepping foot into Tryan Gully. Once you enter Tryan Gully you can make a ton more items since that's the last town in the game that sells a buttload of new armor and weapons.
Many of the recipes on this page require items which are found in treasure chests during Chapter 10 of my Walkthrough. If you're confused about where any of the items are found, use that page and take a look at the maps that are on there.

Scourge Whip has 99 Attack Power and is the second best Whip in the game.
Demon Whip is found in the Godbird's Eyrie in the World of Darkness
Saint's Ashes is sold at the Baccarat Casino and is found in many different treasure chests throughout the game
Sun Crown has 52 AC and greatly increases your chance to resist Fuddle and Snooze. This is the second strongest helm in the game in terms of AC; surpassed only by Metal King Helm.
Skull Helm is found in an area only reachable from the sky east of Godbird's Eyrie in the World of Light
Saint's Ashes is sold at the Baccarat Casino and is found in many different treasure chests throughout the game
Timbrel of Tension is an item you can use during battle which increases the Tension of your entire party by 1 level. This is the most important and most powerful item in the entire game that you can get for your party. Without the Timbrel of Tension the Dragovian Trials and Metal Slime Farming will be much harder. You can only make two of these throughout the entire game since you can only get two Sun Crowns but there's no need to make a second, just one of them makes you overpowered enough.
Sun Crown is obtained through Alchemy by combining a Skull Helm and Saint's Ashes
Magic Beast Hide is obtained as a random drop from many of the different beast enemies that you encounter throughout the game and on the field
Tough Guy Tattoo is purchased from the Argonia Bazaar

Liquid Metal Sword has 118 Attack Power making it the second strongest sword in the entire game. This sword also comes with the effect that it deals 2 damage to Metal Slime enemies but that's not that useful. In order to make the most powerful Sword in the game, Dragovian King Sword, you'll need the Liquid Metal Sword as well.
Rusty Old Sword is obtained from the chest in Trodain Castle behind the Ultimate Key door
Slime Crown is obtained from the well next to Hilltop Hut as well as from a barrel in Tryan Gully & dropped from King Metal Slimes
