To get the second ending, on the last level just wait for a while and the light will disappear. Go forward through the fake wall.
At that level u shuold get 2 spikes, use one to climb the wall, and fire the other one when u face your nemesis who copies everything u do except when u shoot the last spike/ make him fall into the spikes and u will get the second ending
For those who need help in the water temple: The walkthrough provided is a bit wrong in that it missed a few steps. First, you turn on both of the switches in the far south western room. Before leaving, turn OFF the first switch that you had hit. Checking your map, you should now see there being crystals floating on water in that room. Leave your room and go to where the crystals are and now flip OFF the blue switch. Now you can follow the walkthrough and go to the southeastern room to flip the moonstone switch. Keep this post alive if you think it is important!

For those who want to defeat animus, it is actually pretty easy. Simply get mardek and the three other girls and make 4 astral wanderer garbs from the reptile forge and wear them on all four. Then go to skills page to passive skills and make sure they all have +50% resistance to aether. I also recommend getting them their most powerful equipment and making them gain as many spells as possible, espeically the healing moves like spirit wind and earth heal.
Before the fight occurs, make sure to stock up on plenty of remedies and phoenix downs and ethers. During the fight, make sure elwyen casts her D.D. spell constantly which does about 300 to 400 damage every time it is animus's turn. As well, try to make Gloria do the whirlpool spell as it reduces the animus's spirit and thus decreasing its magic damage moves.
It takes about 20 to 30 minutes to defeat this boss when I did this, and that was IMO the longest boss battle ever!
When animus casts rainbow protection or something, it will eventually try to cast a shield spell at low hp, but that spell is blocked by its rainbow protection. FAIL
Not sure if this is a bug or not but if Elwyen is stunned for her turn ad can not do anything but was originally playing a music, she will still play her music and the effects are still there
Oops slight edit
