Ogre Battle Saga Episode VII:  

	Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together

Developed by QUEST  Published By (PSX) Artdink WGC



Note:  Published in the USA by Atlus.



Genre: SLG+RPG





Hello Tactics Ogre Fans!  This is the first time I have ever conducted a FAQ, so if there 

are any thing missing or things that are essential to a "faq-community" which I don't 

know much about, which you feel I can be informed from yours, I hope you don't 

hesitate to email me at:



Redchamber@mailexcite.com



Okay, Let Us Cling Together!!



Tactics Ogre was developed by the god-like Quest, 1995 for the Super Famicom.  And 

was published on the PSX by Artdink-WGC, or World Game Collection.  Artdink is an 

active publisher that brought many American games to Japan. As well as reproducing 

great excitements such as remaking this greatest strategy game of all time.



!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



I wrote this FAQ based on the Japanese version of the game.  But I think all the systems 

and tricks are pretty much the same, as well as many character and city names.  BUT I 

noticed some changes of names, such as the City of Goliath, changed to Goriate (or 

something like that in the US version), as well as some characters names changed by 

Atlus (for stupid reasons unknow) in the US version.   So if you find them confusing, 

please make them out by yourself because I do not own the US version of the game (the 

MAIN reason for this is because I HATE the cover art of the US version.for real!!)

 I am sure all these new stuffs  will CLING you guys with the game much longer.



Forward: This FAQ is done so because I wanted to help those new/old players who 

wanted to try out this great strategy game.  It was a pity that such a great game didn't 

make it over here for the Super NES.  If it was out in 1995, this game can prolog the shot 

life of the Super NES.  But like many great RPGs and strategies, they were "not-

American" enough to be released.  I hope PSX will give people one lesson: good games 

are not to be limited by culture or politic boundaries, because if they are not translating 

the good games, there are imports for us to buy.  Before anything else, Let Us Cling 

Together!!





===============================================================







Tactics Ogre:



The World of Tactics Ogre (TO):

	 Valeria is a place that consisted of 15 continuous islands and numerous 

minorities, which had been prospered by being a center of trading.  However, the 

distribution of wealth among the races was a never ending war between every single 

Valerian.  

	During that chaotic state, it was the High King-Dolgarua who put the war to an 

end.  However, as the king passed away with out an announced successor, war was once 

again returned to this unfortunate land.  

	The Valeria of now is consist of Lord Barbatos of the Galgastan people, Bishop 

Branta of the Bucram-Valeria Kingdom, and Duke Ronway of the Walstan Republic--a 

minority that consisted less than 1 percent of the total population.  This game will put you 

inside the time when the unlucky Walstan people were being chased like rats by other 

ethnicity of Valeria.





	Roles to begin with:  



Galgastan Kingdom: Led by Lord Barbatos, capital at Cortani.  Barbatos is a 

cold-blooded and ruthless lord.



	Walstan Republic: Led by Duke Ronway.  The smallest minority found in 

Valeria.  This unlucky group has not yet formed as a country.



	Bucram-Valeria: A rich ruling class from the capital at Bernicia.  Bishop Branta 

had borrowed from a big empire of the north: Lordis Church Kingdom, and had been 

expanding his power in Valeria ever since the Dark Knight Lancelot of Lordis had 

arrived to "aid" Branta.  Bishop Branta's actions and powers were monitored closely by 

Dark Knight Lancelot. 





===============================================================



The Religions of Valeria



	In Valeria, the religions affected the personalities of the people tremendously.  

The religions were separated into two big forms: Alignments and Elements.



Alignment: The ruling of "Freedom or Rule" inside our hearts.  And the current state of 

mind is what Alignment is all about.



	Two Gods of Alignment.



God of Darkness and Freedom: Asmodee: He will lead those freedom-seekers into 

chaotic powers with his power.  He is the exact opposite of Ishtalle.



God of Light and Order: Ishtalle: She looks mean and she processes the power to 

maintain orders by her amendments.  She will lead those who followed her to light and 

order.  She is the Goddess of Light and War.



Four Gods of Elements: 

	



Elements are the nature of the world, and people of Valeria believed that each of the four 

were governed by one god.  According to the elemental differences, the battle can be 

different tremendously.

	

Water: Gruza: Water is the force that driven the earth to work.  Water is governed by the 

Virgin Goddess Gruza, who was also famous for her jealous nature.



Flame: Zoshonell:  Even though this force doesn't affect the earth, it affects human in 

many ways.  And it is governed by Zoshonell:God of Intelligence.



Earth: Bertha: Earth has the power to prosper the land.  It affects the field of battle 

tremendously (this means, if you have this element as your guardian, it really matters 

where you position yourself or other earth element fighters on the right grounds.) 



Wind: Hahnela: Eventhough he has no power over Water or Flame, he controls the other 

half which the Earth God can't.





Water is against Flame, and Earth is against Wind.

Wind has no effect on Water and Flame, the same goes to the other way around.



NOTE: If you are Wind, you can inflict great damage to an Earth Element enemy, the 

same goes to him/her.  So you should be careful who you are hitting and who will be able 

to hit you.



===============================================================

Calendar of Valeria:



Zetekinea Calendar:



The Valerians use the Zetekinea Calendar, the following is a conversion from 

their calendar to ours.

===============================================================



Starting the Game



After you choose new game you will be asked with two options, they are



		Tutor

		New Game



(This FAQ will work as, and MORE than the Tutor)



Choose New Game to start.



You will be asked for the name: The third option is to write with English.  The orders are



	Hiragana

	Katakana

	English/Numbers/Characters

	Kanji (Chinese characters)

	End



Choose End to use the original name, which is Denim.

Choose Yes to go to the Birthday selection.  It is obvious that the first number is the 

month and the other is the date.  Choose as you like.  See more on Calendar of Valeria 

(version 2.0 of this FAQ, that is).



Then you will go to the questions: You will be asked with 12 questions by the four 

element Gods

The questions are :





	From Wind:  You, what do you pray from me?

		       You, what can you give me?

		       You, what can you promise me?



	Then it's the Flame's turn, then it is Earth, and finally Water.



The answers to their questions are on the bottom.  They are:



1) Rule      2)Peace      3)Glory          4)Fame           5)Love (to the subjects)  6) Hatred

7)Victory  8)Sacrifice  9)Prosperity   10)Dreams    11)Hope            12)Revenge



The answers of each will represent an area you will be strong at.  After you answered all 

the questions, you will be asked from whom you want protection.  This will determine 

your Element.

The orders of Elements are:

	1) Wind   2)Flame

	3)Earth    4)Water





Thanks to Horiyama, I can understand what the things you give will come up to be.



This part is a bit confusing so read this: according to what answer you give to, it will 

affect the outcomes of many other things.  For example, if you promise Flame Rule, you 

will have +One HP, but -One MP, STR minus three, VIT minus three, etc.  Please study 

the board, and decide on what you should choose.  The word like HP or AGI on the top 

left side means which you choose will affect this parameter.



From the top the Elements are listed.  Then the first three numbers are the numbers that 

wll be the parameter for Wind: in the order of Pray, Give, and Promise.  The fourth 

number is the Pray for Flame, fifth is Give for flame, and so on.  The eleventh number 

should be obviously the Give for Water.



Example: Since I want to work faster, I'll do this chart for an example, after Flame's 

columns, then is the Earth, then Water.  But this chart will give you an idea of how the 

following charts work.  This is half of the chart for HP parameter:

Much confusing will happen so be careful!!



The number in ( ) means the default mode.  Not very important.



Please work your self slowly for a formula that fits you the most.  

	Wind			         Flame

Okay, here is the real thing.  I didn't put the Words you can choose because the order is 

listed above this, so you can see that the second roll is Peace, last roll is Revenge, and so 

on.  Ps. If you think reading the chart is painful, imagine doing it.

Okay okay, I spent so many hours typing these numbers down, so I have to do something 

before I go on, the thing I gotta do is: 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



(For those who are wondering, I'm laughing.)





This will start the game.





===============================================================

Characters (much from what I read and from the music CD booklet, if you don't have the 

music CDs yet, GO GET IT!!): 

Note: The translations were done by straight translation from the Japanese Katakana.  I 

know each character has an English name, I have been searching BUT I don't know 

them.  SO if it is confusing to those who know them, please bear with me.  Also, if you 

know their "real" English names, PLEASE email me!!



 Denim Powell:  The main character of the game.  16 years old, Walstanian.  

Born in Port Town Coliath.  His father, which is a priest in a local church was captured 

by the Dark Knights when the Dark Knights attacked their town.  He had been fighting 

guerilla warfare against Barbatos together with his sister and his childhood friend Vice.



Kachua Powell:  Sister of Denim.  This 18 years old Walstanian lady is 

practicing to be a priestess.  Ever since the earlier death of their mother, she had been 

taking care of the family like a mother would do (annoying, which she really is).  She is 

emotional and sometimes tend to think too much for Denim and herself.



Vice Boseg:  This 16 years old young lad is Denim's childhood friend.  Vice's 

hatred towards the Dark Knights is strong since they had killed his father.  Then his 

mother passed away.  He is actually, I believe, where Quest got the idea for Deleeta of 

Final Fantasy Tactics.  For it was quite obvious (you will see).  Or was it Quest was 

really lacking in originality (in this case)?   



Dolgarua Overis Valeria (he has the name of his country!): he is known as the 

High King.  He was the ruler of the old kingdom of Valeria.  He is a Bucramian (a 

Bucram citizan).  He was the one who used his intelligent mind and stopped the war.  

After he became the king, he proposed the "Melting Pot," hoping to stop any more 

cultural conflict from happening.  He was well-known for his ability as an emperor.  But 

after his death, a proper throne was not announced, which led to another war.



Lancelot Tartare (the Dark Knight): 38 years of age.  He was sent to Valeria by 

his country, Lodis Church Kindgom to "aid" Bishop Branta.  He is the leader of the Dark 

Knight "Roselorian."  Dark Knights "Roselorian" are actually the body guards of Saldian, 

which is their king.  That means, this group of knights is the best in their kingdom.

Lancelot has an eye-patch.  His eye was lost in a battle (duh!!).



Branta Mown (Bishop): 49 years of age.  He is now the king of the new Valeria.  

He gathered his power after the old king's death.  He was one of the most trusted 

ministers of the old king, why would he betrayed the Royal Family is something no one 

could understand.

 

Roeunda Barbatos(Lord):43 years of age.  He is the leader of the Galgastan.  In 

order to get he southern part of Valeria, he suggested the "Cultural Purification," and 

tried to eliminate all the Walstanians.  His ruthless ideas were rejected by some of the 

Conservative Galstanians, but they were killed right after Balbatos heard of their 

comments.  He is a cold and ruthless leader.



Juda Ronway (Duke): 52 years of age.  He was the lord of the Castle of 

Armorica before the Walstanians were being persecuted by Balbatos.  After the start of 

the civil war, he became the leader of the Walstanian people, a minority that made up less 

than one percent of the total population of Valeria.  He lost the battle which he fought 

courageously for over half a year, and was being captured by Balbatos.  His execution 

date is getting closer and closer.



Lancelot Hamilton (Paladin):  (He is Lans from Ogre Battle, any one remember 

this knight?) 40 years of age.  He was the leader of the High Paladin Troop of the new 

kingdom Zenobia (from Ogre Battle).  He was born in Balna of Sharom.  But due to some 

"Misfortunate Incident" that occurred in his country, he, as well as other few pals, were 

driven out of their home country by King Tristan (remember him?).  Now they are 

working as mercenaries. 



PS: For those who still can't figure it out, his name is Lans in the US version.





(I have something to say: when the name "Lancelot" fits this Paladin so well, 

why did they call that Dark Knight with the name Lancelot?  This is totally useless, 

because the name only caused a very little misunderstanding, which was settled right 

before the first real battle.  Why over-use this name?  I do think that the Dark Knight can 

use some other name, and they can replace that little misunderstanding which did not a 

thing to the real storyline.  This is the question I really want to ask QUEST.)



Warren Moon (Astronomer): He was the leader of the Magic Trooper of the new 

kindgom Zenobia (from Ogre Battle).  His birthplace was unknown.  He is a Zenobian.  

He could tell the future with his tarot cards and by looking at the stars.  But just like 

Paladin lancelot, he was driven out of the country due to some "Misfortunate Incident" 

that occurred.



Canopus Wolff (Wind Rider): 48 years of age.  He was the leader of the new 

Zenobia's Beast Trooper.  He was born in Peshawa of Sharom.  His fate was just like 

Lancelot and Warren: driven out of his country.  He is a wing-man, therefore he has three 

times the life of a regular human.  48 years old means about 16 years of human age.  But 

his experience in battle is definitely not young.  People might think he is a hawk man, 

which he isn't.  His red hair reminds people of his real identity: A Baltan, an ancient 

winged race that was said to be the ruler of the Heaven.  The Heaven is now no where to 

be found, so he is believed to be a descendant.



Ps: he hates Toriyaki, a Japanese food means "fried-birds."  It is because, well, 

obviously he is a close species of the bird  ^_^





 

===============================================================



Okay, to the actual game.  



I'll divide the beginning of a battle into four categories, just like the chart you 

see on page 10 of  the manual.

This will NOT be limited by the manual for there are a lot of things didn't covered by the 

manual booklet.

	

1) World Map 

2)    Strategic Options

3)    Troop Formation

4) Battle Field



===============================================================



World Map: This view will show you the map of Velaria (push L1 or R1 to zoom in and 

out, hold Square button to look around the map).  If you point to where you want to go 

and hit O, the main character icon will begin moving there.  When you enter a new area, 

you bet there will be a battle.  So prepare yourself before going too fast.



Hit Triangle to summon the option icons.



Icon menu: If you are in a castle or town, you can see that the first icon is a 

balance; it stands of shop.  (The options in shows are:  Buy, Sell, Get Units/hire, 

Auction (sell monsters), Exit.  If you chose buy or sell, there will be two more 

options: Buy Items and Buy Spells.

		

The crossed-swords icon stands for training.



An arrow pointing stands for Strategic Options.  This is where you see your 

troop's status and changing  their classes/items.  VERY important (more on 

Strategic Options).



An icon with a piece of paper is "Warren Report."  Here you can see all the 

events and news of the game.  As well as characters.  You can relive the events 

by hitting the Square after reading it.  A very good element that got brought over 

to Final Fantasy Tactics.



The icon with a feather is data.  Here you can 1) save 2) load.



The last one is Option (see Options).  





===============================================================





Strategic Options: L1 or R1 will allow you to choose units.  Circle button will allow you 

to see the status of the chosen unit.  Triangle will summon the command icon.	



Choose a unit, and then you should see:

     On the top left hand corner, there is a No.  That is the number of the unit.  Below 

that is a sign standing for their Element.  Next to the Element is the Alignment.  The 

Alignment is presented by three words: L for Law, N for neutral, and C for Chaos.  

Depending on how you choose you road, you will have different Alignments some 

point in your life.  You start with N for neutral.



Status:  I'll do a translation of the important elements of the status.  Below the HP 

and MP and WT (weight Point, more later), you should see two rolls of numbers in 

three columns.  They are:

  

a) Physical attack power  b) Projectile attack power c) Magic attack power

d)    Physical defense           e) Magical defense           f) Experience point



          a) is affected by the weapons you equip.  b) is by the weapons such as bow or 

gun you equip.  

 b) is by staffs/weapons and rings etc.  d) is by armors and shields, etc.  e) is by 

amulets, etc.  f) experience earned so far.  When it reaches 100 that means you 

level up.



Next to the beautiful character artwork are the status of your character.  They go like:



	STR:  your strength level.  Affects your attacking power

	VIT: your vitality.  Affects your defense level.

	INT: your intelligence level.  Affects how strong your magic spells will be.

	MEN: Mental power.  Affects how well you defense against magic attacks.

	AGI: your agility.  Affects how well your hit rate and avoid rate will be.

	DEX: Hit rate.  This affects the hit rate as well as the attack power.

	LUK: Luck.  affects your critical hit randomness.

	MOVE: your movement.  Different classes have different number of steps they 

can move in one              

                             turn.



                Next to this status is the magic equipped.



Below all this is Union and race.  Union is what troop or group you are in, or your 

country.  

Race is the ethnicity of the unit, such as Walstan or Bucram.  Monsters will have a word 

saying that it can't be identified or no race for them.





In this Strategic Option screen, you can summon the command icon by hitting 

triangle.  

The icons are (from left to right)



Item: Choosing this will allow you to equip items and weapons for your units.  

After you choose 

this one, there are four commands on the bottom right.  They are, from top to bottom: 

Equip, Un-equip, List, Ordering (ordering of who should come first, not very important.)



	Magic: This will allow you to equip and un-equip magic books.  After you 

chose, the bottom right          commands are: Equip, un-equip, and list.



	Class Change: A very important icon.  This will allow you to change your 

characters' classes. The classes available are determined by your level and where you are 

of the story.  The classes one can change into is affected by his/her Alignment.  Such as, 

if you are a freedom seeker and hates being ordered around, your Alignment is Chaos, 

then you can't change into a knight.  Or if your Alignment is L, you can't change into a 

Berserker, which is a ruthless fighter who kills to survive.



	(Note:  How do you know what the requirements are for classes?  Just hit 

SELECT button on the class to see its requirements.  The SELECT help is very important 

because you can hit SELECT ON ALMOST EVERYTHING AND READ ABOUT THE 

INFORMATION OF THE CITY OR COMMAND YOU CHOOSE.  Hitting select on 

anything you don't know is very important because it will tell you a lot about the world 

of Valeria.)



	Dismiss: this will allow you to dismiss a member of your group.  Don't do so 

unless you have no room for new comers.which is never the case. ^_^



Unit Ordering:  You can order the units by whatever you prefer.  Such as, you 

want the one with most MAGIC point to go number one or last, or Strength, etc.  Note: 

this is only the order in this mode.  When you go to a battle the order/position is chosen 

by you.  So don't hesitate to change the orders here around for easier manual.



L Status: This will show you the Large size members such as dragons.







===============================================================





Troop Formation: When you arrived to a new area (red), you will enter a position-order 

screen.  Here 

you can choose ten of your members to fight this battle.  Chose the troop wisely 

accordance to the battle field and your personal preference.  I often rigidly chose my 

troop as I please, BUT choosing the troop wisely can affect the battle tremendously.  

Sometimes I chose a Dragon Slayer to fight in a stormy landscape just for the fun of it, 

and I get my ass kick really fast and painful.  It really really really helps if you bother to 

choose who you are going to take with you because each unit is very unique in their 

abilities.  Unlike many other "strategy" games, where you can advance the whole game 

without changing a guy, well, this is not true here.



 L1 and R1 will let you go from one unit to another, hit O on the one you want to take 

with you.  The directional pad will allow you to position that unit on the formation 

(square blocks on the bottom).

Hit Square on a character to see his/her status.  Start button will start the battle.  



BEWARE:  don't hit start until you have chosen ten units because if you choose less than 

that, it is likely that you will regret.



You can't bring more than two Large size monsters.  The main character MUST fight all 

battles.  The GUEST characters fight on their own so they aren't counted into the ten.  

Most of them have a special item for them to escape once their HP is low, so don't bother 

healing them.





===============================================================



Battle Field: This is where over 50 percent of the game is.  The other percentage goes to 

the STORY LINE.  It is very hard to tell if one is better than another.  I think that, lacking 

either will sent this greatest game ever to hell within no time.







Anyway, the battle field is where you control your troops to fight the enemies.  Before 

the level starts there is a requirement given to you (such as killing all enemies or killing 

enemy leaders), by accomplishing the requirement you can proceed to the next level.  



	Weight Turn  (WT) and Attack Turn (AT):  WT is the calculation of your agility 

and items' weights.  The order of attack is the AT.  Those with the least WT will have a 

smaller AT number (faster turns).  For example, if you are a Ninja and you have a small 

number of WT, your turn will come faster than those with a higher WT.  After you finish 

a command, or make a move, the WT will increase, so you will have to wait for it to 

decrease to do another move.  Different classes will give you different WT.  For example, 

obviously a ninja is faster than a knight or a berserker.  But if you equip that Ninja with 

too many junks, he will be heavier than the other fighters.  

	Different classes can go to different heights.  So plan yourself carefully what a 

Ninja or an archer or whatever can do.







	Here I want to stretch the WT and AT.  Unlike many other games, this game 

uses the WT, which simulates real-time battle while not losing the favor of a traditional 

strategy.  This is the first game that enables players to feel the tenseness of the battle.



	If you don't make a move and just click end turn, the WT will increase less, so if 

you feel that it is not necessary to move your characters, don't move them.  If you just 

attack without moving, or moving with out attacking, the WT will increase less then 

doing both.  While if you do both moving and attacking, it will increase to the maximum.  

So it is very important for you to think whether or not to perform a move.  When WT 

reaches 0 it is turn for the character.  

Check you AT frequently (use the L1 short cut, see short cuts on the bottom).  

Because if you are not careful with who goes next, and didn't send supports to help the 

units needed, you will regret due to the fact that if you loose a unit in this game, he/she is 

GONE FOR GOOD.  Unless you have the magic Resurrection.





Battle commands:  Triangle button is to summon the icons.  Clicking X on a character 

will show you how far he/she can travel. USE X TO CHECK ENEMIES AND 

FRIENDLY UNITS' MOVEMENTS OFTEN.  IT IS IMPORTANT NOT LETTING 

ENIMES GET IN AND ATTACK YOU WHILE YOU ARE NOT AWARE OF IT.



Hit Triangle during an enemy's turn will bring up a menu for you to save or see status.



The square button will let you see who is enemy and who is friendly.



Hold Square and hit directional pad will allow you to scroll around the map.



Circle will allow you to check on the unit, the landscape, and the item/card found on the 

ground (then hit select to learn more about it).



The commands (after hitting Tri. Button):

	

	The boot icon: move. Hit circle to choose, then choose where you want to go.  

After you arrive the destination, you will be given a chance to choose what direction you 

are facing (more on direction later).  BEWARE: before choosing the direction, you can 

cancel the movement by hitting X.  If you choose the direction you can't cancel the move 

you just made!!



	The sword-and-wand icon: this icon means to execute.  Inside this command 

there are four sub-commands.  They are: attack (with sword or shield, more on this later), 

projectile attack (rock or arrow), magic, use item, special (only some units have this 

attack.)  And the last, which is only available to the main character is: Settoku.  It means 

to persuade the enemy to join you. The closer you are, the higher the chances that the 

target will join.  

	Use the settoku only to those you really really wanted because this often will not 

work.  It will be affected by the target's Alignment and his/her loyalty to the team leader, 

so only rarely you can meet some one who is willing to join.  Failing this move will let 

you stop from there, next to the target, and when his/her turn comes, it is likely that 

he/she will choose the main character to attack.    



The third command is wait.  Choosing this will let your character wait for 

another turn.  USE this if possible because if you wait, the WT will increase only by a bit.  

SO if you let a guy walk then wait, his turn will be faster than letting him walk then do 

something really stupid just to wait his time.

	

The fourth command is Environment.  There are two sub-commands: 

	The first inside is data, it will let you save and load.  

In this PSX version this section lets you save the game, so if you die, you can start from 

your data.  In the old SFC there is no such option (there was something else which was 

not at all useful).  Use this if you feel that the situation is tense.  Or just save before the 

first contact with the enemies so you can always come back when you messed things up.  

This really lowers the difficulty level from the SFC version (which was MUCH harder 

due to the fact that you can't save during a battle.)  But letting us save will let the hard 

trip much easier and more enjoyable, I hope.





The second is Options.  Here you can do different things to help your quest an 

easier one.  Since this is very very long, I'll dedicate a section for it.  See Options at the 

end.





The next big command is: Unit View.  Here you can see a unit's status.  Please 

see Status under Strategic Options.



The last is available only if you pause a enemy's move by hitting the Triangle 

during his/her turn.  Pausing them will let you do things like look at status or save. BUT 

you can't stop them from doing anything such as harming your unit(s).  Hitting this icon 

will let the game continues.







Auto Move Commands:



There is an option during battle and it is Auto move.  All characters in default setting are 

being controlled by you.  But if you think that it is best for them to move by themselves 

(which I NEVER DO), you can go to a character and hit Circle to bring up his/her status.  

Then hit Triangle to bring up the Auto move command.  You can then choose a 

command that you want him/her to follow. The commands are:



	Manual: You control the unit.

	Fight Like A DemonGod.  After you chose this one you can choose a unit to be 

attacked.  Choosing this will make the unit do nothing else but go after the targeted unit.  

	Shadow Servant: Choosing this, then choose a target will make the unit do 

nothing but protecting the target.

	Help Those of Life and Death: This will make the unit heal those who were 

wounded or being affected by side effects. 

	Save My Soul: This will make the unit run away from the battle (NOT away 

from the battle field).  He/she will move to safety areas.

	Get the Baby Tiger (actually this is a Chinese old saying): The unit will pay 

attention and pick up the cards and treasures found in the battle field. 

	(Like the Chinese saying goes "If you don't enter the tiger's cave, you can't get 

the tiger's baby.")









In many battle fields there are hidden treasures.  If you are lucky enough to step on them, 

you can get them.  





	In the battle, after enemies are being slain, they will give out the following 

things:



		Treasure bag: Move a unit on this item to send the item to stock or 

equip it if there is a slot for the unit to do so (each character can equip four things, item 

and weapons).  If an enemy steps on it, it will be gone for good.  Items that were not 

being collected will be collected by the computer after the battle.  

		Card: These tarot cards were from the first game Ogre Battle.  There 

are six different kinds of cards, each will increase the unit who stepped on the card:



	The card of strength: max STR increases.

	The card of Health: max HP increases.

	The card of Luck: max LUK increases OR decreases.

	The card of Magic: max MP increases.

	The card of Vitality: max VIT increases.

	The card of Intelligence: max INT increases.



Note: if you leave the cards where they were, you will NOT going to recollect 

them after battle.







===============================================================







Here I'll stretch much with my personal experience.  I'm NOT good with organizing 

papers or reports so I might be clumsy on this part (which you can tell from the earlier 

part of this FAQ).  Bear with me!

===============================================================

	On-Line help: you can hit select on almost ANYTHING to get general 

information. You can ask things like weapons, equipment, character's loyalties (by 

hitting it next to their name), classes requirements (requirements status are in English so I 

won't bother translating).  Etc.  Use this as much as possible because you don't just learn 

some helps, BUT much of the world of Valeria as well!  So by learning and reading, you 

can understand HOW MUCH TIME those people in Quest had put in making this game 

play and feel real.

===============================================================

	Training:  The training will bring up one important element of this game.  In this 

game ALL enemies except the boss will have the level of your strongest character.  For 

example, if you have 9 guys/gals in the field with the level of 20 ,and only one guy with 

the level of 21, ALL enemies except the boss(s) will have the level of 21!!!  So if you 

chose the units wrong you will have some really hard time because, one level in this 

game matters tremendously.  It is best to keep ALL of your units within the same level.  

So the enemies will also have that level.  I had a friend who used some cheat in his SFC 

version and made every one level 100.  Soon he found out that all the enemies are at the 

same level, and the higher their levels are, the stronger they get!!!  

Tips: if you have a guy with one level higher and there is NO time for you to 

train, it is best to not use him/her for the up coming battle and use every one who has the 

same level (this is why you have to keep more than one unit of each class).

	Use training whenever you have one unit who has one or two levels stronger 

than the rest.  This is VERY important.  

	Training will let your troops to battle it out to get experience.  After you enter 

the training mode, you can choose ten units for each side.  After you chose you units, hit 

START.  You will be given a chance to choose who controls the tow troops: first player, 

second player, or computer.  DON'T be lazy, choose 

The first player. You will see why.



	After you are in the training mode, it is best to do the following to let the weaker 

guys level up: just let them kill the stronger guy because, if you kill one of a higher level, 

you get over 70+ experience!!  100 will let you level up (then the counter resets), so just 

killing them will let you level up fast.  Then let the next guy kill the one who just leveled 

up, and so on.  BUT beware, check the character's experience before attacking: make 

sure he/she can level up wit that 70+ experience.  If he/she has only 10 or 11 experience 

points, adding 70 to it will no level up.  Simply let them throw rocks (choose projectile 

attacks) at the strong unit to gain about 10 experience for each turn.  When they have 

enough, let they kill!  Don't worry, the target unit will NOT die; he/she will be out of the 

picture until you leave the training mode.  



	When one side has been eliminated, the training is over.  OR simply bring up the 

command option with the Tri. Button.  The commands are pretty much the same as the 

other battle commands, but before the last one there is one with a green arrow.  Choose 

this one to end the training.



===============================================================

	Class change: change your classes.  Make sure you understand what each class 

can do.  Such as, you want people like fighters and knights to go to the front so they can 

handle blows, while magicians at back to attack with magic, and archers in between to 

piss off enemies.



After you change the class for a unit, IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO SEE WHAT THIS 

CLASS CAN DO, SO DON'T CHANGE HIM/HER BACK TOO FAST.  When you 

have chose a class for a unit, the unit will build his/her strength towards that class.  For 

example, a magician's MP and INT will increase as he levels up, a knight's strength and 

defense will increase if you keep him as a knight.   And so on.  Skills takes years and 

years.don't be impatient with this game!





===============================================================



	Back Stabber: BE ONE!! At least in this game.  By hitting from behind, you 

have 50% extra hit rate.  25% from the side.  When you finish moving, choose a direction 

to stand so that your back is less vulnerable from Back Stabbers.



===============================================================



	Weather: In bad weathers the attack and hit rate will be decreased while the 

Water and Wind Elements will be increased, so you might want to use magic spells that 

are in these two Elements.  



===============================================================



	Height and Arrow Route: In this game projectiles are programmed to travel in a 

realistic way.  That is, the higher you go, the further the projectile will travel.  When you 

chose to project anything, there will be hi-light on the ground indicating how far it can 

go.  IGNORE the hi-lights because according to the height you are standing, the arrow 

can travel MUCH further.  The same goes to throwing rocks.  Bow guns travel in a 

straight route, but if you go really high, it will travel straight then bends downward.  USE 

this knowledge to aid you in your quest.  You will need it!  

	If you are at the height level of an enemy's head, and you attack him/her, he/she 

CAN'T counter attack because he/she is being too low and out of reach.  He/she can 

counter only if he/she is equipped with a spear or a whip.  USE THIS TACTIC OFTEN!!  

You can attack lower with a spear or a whip.



===============================================================

	Element, Magic and Grounds: If you hit Circle on the ground you can 

investigate the landscape.  You can see that different ground has different elements: such 

as water is Water, earth and clay is Flame, etc.  Make sure what kind of ground your 

enemies are on, then choose a magic that will be aided by the ground they are standing 

for maximum efficiency.  

Hit Circle the ground and you will see the group bought up.  Hit select on that 

ground and you will see sound words.  There are two numbers: left is Offense Effect, 

right is Defense Effect.  The bigger the number the better.  Choose the grounds you want 

to stand wisely!!



===============================================================

	Warren's Report: check back once in a while to see more information and re-

experience the events took place.   Sometimes in order for you to go some extra stages 

you have to listen to some news in Warren Report in order to go.



The options are: 

Events: click one, read it, and see the whole event again by hitting the Square 

button.



Characters: a brief description on all the characters.  Some characters won't be 

presented until he/she appears once OR being mentioned somewhere in the story line.



Others: Different news from the travelers of the land.  This is where you can 

open the secret stages I mentioned in the Misc. Goodies: how to get characters.

	

The last is Hint: there will be enough in this FAQ, so I won't translate them.

===============================================================



Options:  there are 15 options.



1)Move cursor: the default is A.  You can choose four ways how you can move your 

cursor.

2)Cursor repeat: how fast the cursor can be repeated.

3)Status on: by setting on you can see the status of the character without getting too much 

trouble by going into the icon commands.  I recommend ON. 

4)Navigation message: there will be message telling you what to do every time.  Turn it 

OFF!!

5)Message speed: the default is normal.

6)Attack name: The default is on.  It will give you the name of the commands when you 

highlight it.  I prefer ON.

7)Effect Message: Default is ON.  It will give you the name of your attack.  For example, 

when it is ON, and you do a magic, the name of the magic is on the top of the screen until 

it's over.

8)Exp. Message: The default is ON.  It will tell you how much experience you gain from 

an action you just perform.

9)Icon name and command name: Three types of command name.  The default is A.  This 

will allow you to see the icons with icon or names.  I prefer the default.

10)Sound: Choose between MONO and STEREO.  In the SFC version there is another 

WIDE mode which improve the sound quality tremendously, but there is no such option 

in this version. 

11)L1 Button Short Cut: The default is OFF.  If it is ON you can use a short cut by hitting 

L1 and see many options. (More on L1 short cut)

12)R1 Button Short Cut: Default is OFF.  If it is on you can see status by hitting R1. 

(More on R1 short cut) 

13)Short English: The default is JAPANESE.  Change it to ENGLISH so that L1 and R1 

short cut will be in English.)

14)Unit Status by Square Button: If it is ON, in the status screen, you can change from 

seeing Small Large size units.  The default is OFF.

15)Reset: This will allow you to reset all the changes.  CAUTION!



===============================================================



	L1 and R1 Shortcuts:  by setting the two on ON, you can hit and hold L1 or R1 

and any button to see some information.



	L1+ Tri: see all units of HP 30% and lower.

	L1+Square: see all with HP 30% and above.

	L1+Circle: See the AT of the units.  See who's turn is it next.  USE THIS AS 

MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHAT YOU SHOULD DO!!

	L1+X: See unit's whose weapon attack is being affected by magic.



	R1+Tri: see units of Water Element.

	R1+Square: See Earth.

	R1+Circle: see Flame.

	R1+X: See Wind.





===============================================================



The Classes!!

(the name, description, then the Favorite Weapon)

(If you click select on a class's name, it will tell you a bit about the class, and the 

requirements, such as DEX to a certain level and STR to a certain level.  Also, the L, N, 

or C after that means an unit must be in a certain Alignment in order for him/her to 

change into this class).



Each class has its favorite weapon.  A class can equip any thing, but it is best to equip 

them with their favorite weapon.  For example, a berserker will be stronger with an axe, 

while a knight is best with a sword even if an axe is stronger than the sword in nature.  

It's their personal preferences so it is best to let them have what they needed in order to 

kill better.  ^_^



===============================================================

Male Ordinary Classes:

===============================================================



Soldier: The basic class for male.  Parameters level up together- he can use many 

weapons to a certain degree.  Change their jobs as soon as possible.



Knight: Stronger than a soldier in both defense and offense-Sword. Keep two or three is 

enough.  IF you don't have berserkers take about 3 or them for battles.



Ninja: Able to use double-attacks.  He is very agile, and can jump from plat form to 

platforms-Claws/Daggers. Keep one or two.  He can use some magic.



Wizard: A wizard.  He can use many spells-uses staff.  Keep one or two is enough.



Berserker: A ruthless fighter.  He is stronger than the knight!!-He uses an axe.  Keep 

about 2 or 3.  You can team one or two up with a knight.  Too many of knights or 

berserkers will give you a very clumsy and slow battle because these two are great for 

physical-attacks but are slow.  (He is he one on the right with a horned helmet).



Beast Tamer: He has the power to increase the attack power of monsters next to him- he 

uses whip.

 (He is the bald header homeless look-a-like).  I don't find him to be useful because you 

can use ONLY two monster units in one battle.



===============================================================

Male High Classes:

===============================================================





Exorcist: The only unit who can use the magic "Exorcism" to eliminate the undead-uses 

staff

(The black-suit priest look-alike).  Keep one is good enough.  You will get one in the 

earlier part of the game.  You can change his job to some other magician.  When you are 

in a battle with undeads, make sure you change him back to an exorcist.



Warlock: A very strong magician.  He can use many side-attack spells.  Keep at least two 

in your team.  OR you can team him up with a Witch-he uses staff.  (Green robe, gold 

hair.  He was called the Dollmage in part one).



Dragon Slayer: the red armored guy all the way on the right of yours.  He is the best to 

fight dragons (duh!).  For a regular unit it might take over 4 hits to kill one dragon, but all 

he needs is TWO HITS!  Still good against even regular units.  But since he is a dragon 

slayer, expect his WT to be high and agility to be slow.  He is good to fight enemies who 

are strong and slow.  Even good for many bosses because he has great max HP.  He uses 

a sword.  Equip him with a Dragon Slayer sword to make him unstoppable.  Keep one is 

good.  Two is optional.  He must be an N.  Tips: If you really want to use him. Keep on 

using the magic Quick Move on him to make his turn come faster (see magic).



Terror Knight: The silver armored tea-pot-look-a-like in the middle of the front road.  

VERY useful because he is so scary, those enemies in front of him and next to him will 

have less attack power due to the fact that a terror knight releases terror souls of those he 

killed!  Keep two is enough because he is not too fast.  My personal favorite because if 

you choose the Chaotic road, it is likely that you will have to use him.  He uses a hammer 

(and likes to remodel enemies' faces with it).



Gunner: The guy wearing a leather cap on the opposite side of the Dragon Slayer.  He is 

only selectable if you play an extra storyline in the last chapter (See Extras).  He is an 

atheist so a unit must be N in order to change into him. With a gun and if he is positioned 

on a high platform, he is one good sniper.  His gun can reach all the way across the 

screen.  He uses a gun (DUH DUH!!).  Keep one is enough because there are only two 

good guns in the game.  But I don't get the last one because inorder to get the last gun, 

you need to kill your sister, which SUCKS!  She is beautiful (yet emotional)!



Sword Master: Only can be changed in to if a unit is L.  He can use double attack and 

magic.  He is said to have "fought over a 100 wars" so he is the master of all swords.  In 

Final Fantasy Tactics this class is GOD,  but in TO he is shit.  He is totally useless: he is 

slow, he has weak hit rate, weak offense, weak defense, weak costume, ugly face, weak 

magic, weak everything else (compared to knights and ninjas).  He uses two swords but 

who cares?  Just keep ZERO of this kind of useless junk.  Speaking of "100 wars," he 

must be the one who used the battle command of "Save My Soul (see Auto move 

commands).



	Speaking of useless junk, I think Quest has done one thing wrong:  if you go the 

L  (loyal) route, where you have to be loyal to your king, we are supposed to be given 

options like goodies if you choose one road instead of the other, but if going to the L 

route, it will make your main character become L for his Alignment, so he can change 

only to a useless Sword Master.  This is not very encouraging for many to try the L route, 

other than the sucky ending because inorder to be L, you have to kill a lot of good people.  

I hope there can be some classes like, High Knight or Holy Guardian for a L person to 

change into so we will be willing to choose that bloody road.



 	Just to annoy some of you, here is my ideal High Knight and Holy Guardian:

		

High Knight: Requirement for class: L.  He is best with swords and shield.  If 

you equip him with a sword AND a shield, he will have higher chance of blocking the 

attack and a higher hit rate of countering it or simply attacking then blocking.  But he is 

quite slow compared to many of his strength level.  But the great defense and hit rate give 

him a check for must have.  He can heal as well (heal and heal-plus, NOT heal-all).



	Holy Guardian: Must be L and LUK over 56.  He is the Guardian of the 

Goddess Ishtalle.  He can heal and uses a spear.  His defense level might not be the best, 

but his speed and hit rate are high, making him a must have for those who like ambush 

attacks.  He can use the special: Goddess Voices to heal any cursed attacks such as 

poisoned and stun.



	Or maybe besides the Terror Knight for C route, there can be another class.  

Let's call him: Tarot Warrior.

	Tarot Warrior: A Tarot Warrior will use his magical power to tell the prey's 

fate.  His attacks are not too strong when compared to knights.  He equips a sword.  But 

after his attack, which if hit, there will be a chance for the target to receive some side 

effects such as poisoned, stun, sleep, cursed, charmed, and others.  So his main power is 

in hitting an enemy then drawing his cards randomly to bring misfortune to the target.  

He is greatest against monsters and those classes with a low mental power.  



(Okay, now back to the game)



===============================================================

Female Ordinary Classes:

===============================================================



Amazon: The basic of all female classes.  Much like the male soldier.  She can use many 

any weapon to a certain degree.  Again, change her job as soon as possible.



Archer: She uses a bow.  She is one of the most DEADLIEST classes in the whole game.  

She is quick, she has great DEX, which makes her never miss a shot.  Don't forget, the 

higher you go, the further the arrows travel.  So send her high in order to spread the rain 

of death to your enemies.  Keep at least THREE of this good class because, she is kind, 

she is beautiful, she is caring, and she is very dangerous.  She is helpful especially in 

stormy weathers because the rain will not affect her arrows, so she can keep the damage 

high while others' defenses are low.  She uses both bow and bow gun.



Cleric: A must have.  She can use many kinds of healing magic and aid spells.  Must keep 

at least two in your group.  Some other classes such as an exorcist can heal as well, so she 

is not so needed in the beginning. She uses a staff (By the way, see more about weapons 

on Weapons.  It is VERY important!).



Witch: A very supportive class.  She can use many indirect attacks like stun, charm, 

poison, and the list goes on.  Keep at least one and use her often.  She uses a staff.



Female High Classes:



Valkyrie: These are the handmaids of God Odin (Greek mythology), and they have great 

attack and magical power.  Despite the fact that she is one of the strongest among all 

female classes, she is not worth to waste a position for when compared with many other 

stronger (but slower) male classes.  Keep one is more than enough.  You might want to 

change her into a Siren or a Dragon Tamer.  She uses a spear, and she fights with 

elegance!



(She is the one with two feathers on her head).





High Priestess: She is a higher class than the Priestess.  She is the ONLY class that can 

use the magic "resurrection" and the strongest healing of all: heal-all, but she can't use 

the magic "heal-plus."  She must be an L, and only kill only one enemy in her life time.  

More than that will not allow her to be a High Priestess.  She uses a staff.  Keep one if 

you can heal with another character, two if not.  Use her often.



Siren: She is like a female magician.  She can use a lot of attack magic.  She also uses a 

staff.  You can keep one if you like, but she is not so strong unless you have some really 

good magic.  She uses staff.  She is the one with the white cape.  By the way, she puts 

make-ups on.



Dragon Tamer: She is like a female Dragon Slayer, good for killing dragon, and allows 

dragons next to her to have stronger attack power.  She uses a sword and can equip one 

magic.  Since it is not often to have some stronger physical attack female in this game 

(accept the archer, that is), one should consider keeping one of this so the party will look 

more varied. Keep one, use her when you are tire of knights and berserkers.  She can be 

very useful.  She uses swords.  She is the one with the animal skull on her head.





===============================================================

Other Classes:

===============================================================





Hawk Man: He can fly and uses a hammer.  He is extremely clumsy in stormy weathers.  

Keep one or two to ambush your enemies.  But I rarely use him because I have Canopus 

(Canopu is his nick name, by the way).



Lizard Man: He is strong when compared with knights.  He uses a hammer, and he is 

good in watery fields.  Keep one to aid you in watery fields.  Since he can't change to 

other classes, it is quite pointless to level him up.



Undead: All undead will come back to life after a few turns.  You need an Exorcist to 

send them to eternal slumber for good.





Monsters:



Fairy: She looks cute, and since she floats she is not affected by grounds.  She can use 

many special attacks.  Keep one for your team as a team mascot ^_^  



Griffon: He is a fabled beast with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion.  

He can use special attacks like Wind Shot.  Keep for the fun of it.  



Golem: It is made out of stone, so it has great defense power, but weak against magic.  If 

you have one, keep it in the front line to take all the attacks.  But watch out for his HP.



Octopus: They are only good in water.  Keep one if you want to use it in river battle 

fields (which is quite rare in this game).



Dragons:  Very strong in both defense and offense.  Keep one of each Element (six in all, 

two more for Light and Darkness) because they are the ONLY monsters who can change 

classes!  I don't know what the new classes can do yet (since I never bother using them).  

But if you can take the time to train them, their new classes kick ass!





===============================================================



Magic: Magic spells in this game are divided into SIX groups. The four Elements, and 

the two Alignments.



	Flame Element Magic:

===============================================================



Fire Storm (14 MP, Range 6): This will summon a wall of flame.  It can burn the grass 

into earth ground as well as human to human torch.  One of the basic magic spells.



Melt Weapon (24, 7): Indirect attack spell.  It will decrease the targeted weapon's power 

to half for a short amount of time.



Heat Weapon (24, 7): Indirect attack spell.  It will increase the targeted weapon's power 

for a short time.



Stun Looter (22, 7): A strong light that will bring numbness to those who catch the light 

with their eyes.  Stun enemies.



Deft-Zoshonell (10, 0): This will summon the God of Flame and make the whole battle 

field's Flame Element stronger, and weaken the Water.  The effect will stay until the end 

of the battle.





	Water Element Magic:

===============================================================





Ice Blast (14, 6): The basic ice magic attack.



Acid Rain (38, 6): This will attack enemies.  If lucky it could also decrease the targeted 

unit's weapons and armors' levels.



Clear Blood (18, 7): This can clear all the side effects in the targeted unit.



Slow Move (22, 7): This will make the WT of the targeted unit increases while 

decreasing in a slower rate.  Use this on bosses to maximum your advantage.



Deft Gruza (10, 0): This wil summon the Goddess of Water and make the whole battle 

field's Water Element stronger, and weaken the Flame.  The effect will stay until the end 

of the battle.



	Wind Element Magic:

===============================================================



Dead Shot (6, 7): This will summon a ball of aura and send forward to the targeted unit.  

It will be stopped if there are obstacle or unit in its way.



Thunder Flare (18, 6): This will summon the arrows of thunder.  Best when used in rainy 

days.



Quick Move (26, 7): This is a support magic that will diminish the WT of the unit.  Use it 

one your own units.  USE THIS OFTEN!



Call Storm (26, 0): This will summon rain and storm.  The stronger the summoner, the 

stronger the storm.



Deft Hahnela (10, 0): This will summon the God of Wind and make the whole battle 

field's Wind Element stronger, and weaken the Earth.  The effect will stay until the end 

of the battle.





	Earth Element Magic:

===============================================================



Acid Cloud (14, 6): This is the basic of Earth.  This will summon a cloud of acid from the 

earth to attack.



Crack Breath (32, 6): This will drop boulders of rocks on enemies.  A very effective 

magic.



Jump Wall (30, 7): This will send one unit to move to an area right next to him ignoring 

the height.  Use this when a unit can't move to an area above him/her.



Poison Cloud (32, 7): This will attack enemies with poison.  Those who are affected by 

this poison will have to heal with magic or items.



Deft Bertha (10, 0): This will summon the God of Earth and make the whole battle field's 

Earth Element stronger, and weaken the Wind.  The effect will stay until the end of the 

battle.





	Holy Magic (of Ishtalle)

===============================================================



Lighting Bow (20, 7): This will launch an arrow of light towards the target.  It can be 

blocked if there is an obstacle in the front.



Exorcism ((35, 5): This is a MUST to fight undead.  This will send the undead to where 

they belong.



Clear Lance (10, 7): This will cure ALL side effects such as poison and/or charm.



Healing (10, 7): This will heal.  Useless on undead.



Healing Plus (25, 6): This can heal a few units at once.  This has no effect for healing 

undead.





	Dark Magic (of Asmodee)

===============================================================



Nightmare (14, 7): This will attack and cause the target to sleep.  The sleeper could be 

cure with stimulation (throw a rock at him, that is).



Word of Pain (20, 5): Let the target listen to the cries of the dead.  Depending on how bad 

the caster is being wounded, this magic will take away the same amount of damage from 

Hp and MP (that is, if the caster is in low HP, this magic will be very useful).



Charm (24, 7): By staring at an enemy with the eyes of charm, he/she will become your 

side for a while.  This is useless on friendly units.  This is a VERY useful magic.



Paradigm (35, 6): This will make a unit's WT to become 0 and able to do action.  This is 

for friendly units.



Charge Spell (10, 7): This will give the target some MP and sacrifice the caster's own 

MP.

	Tips: use this on the caster him/herSELF!  If you do so, he/she will gain a lot of 

MP, then he/she will lose some, but there are more gain then lose!!



===============================================================





Special Attacks: Special attacks are thing attacks that only some units can do.  As they 

level up they will learn the attacks.





	Thunder Breath (Element: Wind, range: 1): This will attack the enemy AND 

THEN STUN him/her!!  Use by Thunder dragon.



	Fire Breath (Fire, 1): Attack then lowers the target's weapon efficiency.  Use by 

Red dragon.



	Poison Breath (Earth, 1): This will attack and poison the target.  Use by Earth 

dragon.



	Cold Breath (Water, 1): This will attack and put the enemy to sleep.  Use by 

Blue Dragon.

		



Toxic Breath (Dark, 1): This will attack and charm the enemy.  Use by Black 

dragon.





	Petro-Breath (Earth, 1): This will attack and stone the enemy.  Use by 

Cockatrice



Maelstrom (Water, 1): This will produce a maelstrom on the water surface.  Use 

by Octopus.



Wind Shot (Wind, 7): This will attack the enemy within a distance.  The higher 

your level, the stronger the attack.  Use by Griffon and Canopus the Wind Rider.



Pretty Kiss (-, 1): This can cure all the side effects and recovers a little HP.  Use 

by fairy.

	

	Deep Kiss (-, 1): This will inflict some damage to the caster, but it will let the 

target's WT become zero!



===============================================================



Weapons/Staff: As I have mentioned earlier, each item and weapon will accumulate to 

the final WT.  So decide what you want to equip is very important in this game.  I rarely 

equip heavy armor.  This is my typical fighter's equipment: armor, sword, maybe a shield 

or gauntlet, then a healing item such as herb or seed.  It is useless to take items with you 

to battle.  If you click select on the weapon, the following info will be given, unless it is a 

special item that will increase you INT: property: physical or magical, Weight, range, 

STR or INT or both.  You can also see the weights in the item selection screen.

The heavier the weapon, the stronger the STR, but usually I don't use the heavier 

weapons.  I use those I can find in fighting bosses since they are light and strong.



ONE IMPORTANT THING about staff: the more staffs one equips, the stronger the 

MAGIC attack power.  So if one is a magician or a healer, let he/she equip both hands 

with staffs.  BUT if he or she is a witch, which she doesn't use attack spells, equipping 

two is useless; one is great enough.  There are many items like staffs that will add some 

INT if you equip them.  Find them out and let those with ATTACK or HEAL spells 

magicians equip them. 



===============================================================



Grounds: If you choose a ground and investigate it with the select button, there will be 

two numbers: Left is Offense and right is Defense.  The bigger the better.  What the 

numbers mean is that how much your attack's will be improved when positioning on 

those grounds.  Usually one should find out that concrete grounds have the best offense 

and defense, while grass and sand are clumsy.  This makes sense because when you 

attack, one leg will charge forward while the other will push against the ground, like a 

tire against the road: the better and stronger the gripping, the fast the car goes.  So the 

ground is strong and supportive, the attack can be hard and fast.  Defense can be 

responsive as well.





General Tips: When you get into a stage where you have to fight enemies AND save 

some Guest character, it is best if you can save the Guest character.  If he/she dies you 

won't get a game over, but if you can save him/her, you will not only have an extra guy 

to use, BUT might also open up more storyline and more fights, and even affect your 

ending!  SO DO your BEST to save every single Guest character.  If a Guest character 

has a special yellow-diamond equipped, then you don't have to worry because that means 

he/she can escape when the HP is low.  But those you have to save DON'T have that 

diamond, so be careful!!





(This ends the regular FAQ.  Those I have mentioned are enough for you to be a master 

of this game, and you can make fun of your friend's strategies with the knowledge you 

now have!)









===============================================================

===============================================================





Okay, here are some of the goodies that not many know about!



HIDDEN CLASSES!!



	Lord: Special: This is like an advanced knight.  He can heal as well.  How to 

get: After you got to level four, but before the battle of Heim (the one before the Sky 

Garden; the one before the last stage), where you just got your sister back to your team.  

Just let Kachua (your sister) get kill in one of any battle, then go back to castle Fidach.  

Denim will become the Lord since the rightful ruler, which is your sister, is dead.  Do it 

for the fun of it.just to inform you: the Lord is a VERY good class!!  He can use double 

attack but has great defense power.



	Lich: Special: He can use ALL the magic.  A very strong magician.  How o get: 

In chapter two, after the battle in Quadriga, you should get the Death's Ring.  If a wizard, 

a warlock, an exorcist, a siren, witch, or a priest equips the ring and get kill. He/she will 

come back to life as a lich.  BUT beware: The one who equipped the ring must die with 

the following status otherwise he/she will be dead for good: MP 114 (or more), INT 162 

or more, INT 162 or more, MEN 147 or more.  Keep one to make your team unstoppable.



	Angel Knight:  Special: She can fly and attack is strong.  She can also use 

"Angel's Voices" to do special attacks.  How to get: Only a female can become one.  She 

must be a L person, she must have: MP 92, STR 135, VIT 122, INT 144, MEN 119, AGI 

122, DEX 124, and LUK over 56, then get killed.  She will come back as an Angle 

Knight.  If possible, get one.  She uses a spear.



	Gunner: Special: He MUST equip a gun, and the range is infinite if there is no 

obstacle in front of his gun.  How to get: After you have Lendou in your team, a man 

must have: STR 120, AGI 164, DEX 150 or more, and must be a N.



(How to get Lendou the Gunner: At Chapter Four, after you have finished the castle of 

Bernicia, go to Warren's Report and read the news about the sunken ship.  After reading 

so, there should be a new place for you to go in the top.  Go there, RESCUE Lendou to 

get him: in this game if you can't save a guest, he is gone for good!)



How to get guns for Lendou: 



Rim Fire: In chapter four, inside the castle of Bernicia, there is a temple knight 

holding a gun (after his leader killed one of his man, the gun was hand over to him so the 

leader can play "fair" game).  Kill him to get the first gun.



	Assault Gun: After you got Lendou, read the Warren's Report about the Thief of 

Nymlahaba Forest.  Go to the forest.  In the battle, DON'T kill the two griffons, but 

attack their leader until his HP is lower than 20.  Then he will join you.  GET the TWO 

griffons, then the leader of the two will join you.  He has the strongest gun in this game.  

Get the gun from him and let a gunner equip it, then you can dismiss this Beast Tamer if 

you want (BUT I usually keep him).

	

	Commander Gun: After Kachua joins you in chapter four, before the stage of 

Heim, let her die (much like the Lord requirements).  There will be an extra stage on the 

Desert of Ballder. Go there, kill the gunner and get his gun.  You might want to get this 

gun as well as becoming a Lord.can you kill your own sister?



   

	

SECRET CHARACTERS:

How to get Deneb: Remember this beautiful witch?  She looks better than ever now.  

Getting her is not easy, and it is even harder for me to type all the procedures.should I 

really do it?  Or should I just let you guys find her yourself?  Hmm



	After you reach Chapter 4, go to Warren Report, choose Others, read the news 

about The Lucky Shop of Witch Denev Rove.



Then, go to one of  the following places at that particular days of ANY month to go to her 

store:



Port Town Coliath: 1, 2

Armorica Castle: 3,4

Town Clitheroe: 5,6

Town of Barmamutha: 7,8

Port Town Ashton: 9,10

Cortani Castle: 11,12

Brigantes Castle: 13,14

Old Capital Lyme: 15,16

Fidach Castle: 17,18

Town of Wareham: 19,20

Capital Heim: 21,22

Grimsby (all the way on the top right): 23,24

Castle Bernicia: 25



After you got to the right place at the right time, her shop will replace the regular one for 

a day.



This is how to get her: Buy items with the total quantity of 255 (Some one told me 200is 

enough, try it yourself).  Then there will be another option on the shopping list: between 

Auction and Exit, there is another one: Ask Her to Join.  By doing so, she will join you!!  

Happy Happy Joy Joy because she is strong, and with her, you can open one extra event 

when you visit Warren with Denev!!



BEFORE getting her, you should scroll around in her item list: there are many GREAT 

items to buy!  So why don't you save some money, buy those good items, then get her.  

Because once she joins you, the shop is gone!!

Items in her shop that you should pay attention: any of the crystal orbs because 

an orb(s), once equipped will decrease the holder's WT by TEN!  This makes great 

difference because, by decreasing WT by ten points, it is like equipping an equipment for 

free!



Another Class: before getting Denev, if you have Glass Pumpkins (see hidden items), you 

can recruit Pumpkin heads according to how many of them you have.



===============================================================



How to get Shelley Fouriner: (From Horiyama)



	When you are in Banhamooba Palace, you have to fight this un-filial daughter.  

If you kill her, she is dead, and that sucks.  So if you want to save her, these are the steps:



knock her HP lower than 20.

Make sure you have all other three sisters.



When HP is lower than 20, she will run away.  Then go back to Fidach Castle and see the 

event.  

Then head to Barmamutha village.  Go to training then use the magic Call Storm



After that, there will be an event for her to join.





How to Get Selye Fouriner (From Horiyama):

IF you go the Neural Route, in chapter three, there will be some trick getting her.  When 

you see her again in Board Fortress, she will not join you.  

So you have to go to the City of Clitheroe.  Once there, read the Warren Report, Other's 

section, read about the "Pirate of Quadriga."  Go there, then kill the pirate.  Then talk to 

Selye.  After that, she will join you.



Double Spy??? (From Horiyama):



When you are at the last level, after attacking the Castle Heim, go to Warren Report,  

read "Double Spy?"  Then go to City of Clitheroe.  This way you will understand the past 

of Haborym Vandam, the blind Sword Master you rescued in the snow land.



===============================================================





More on MVP (from Horiyama):

Please refer to the chart on the bottom.  For any character, when they perform actions, 

those actions are rated by a certain meter. If the points reached 100, they will be given the 

title MVP.



		            Physical  Attack          Magic Attack        Item           Kill

			Or Throw                   or Special 	

                  Attack                     3                                   2                     1               25   

Enemy       Recover                 -2                                  -4                    -2   



Friendly     Attack                    -3                                 -2                   -1               -25

                   Recover                 2                                    4                     2               





How to read this chart: for example, if you attack an enemy with your sword or a 

throwing rock, the meter will increase by 3.  If you kill an enemy, it will increase by 25.  

But if you perform an action indicated with the minus sign, the meter will decrease.  

Again, when it reaches 100, the character will increase an extra level.  The loyalty level 

will also increase by a little.



===============================================================





Here are the added great attacks.  They could be learnt by the following 

procedure.

===============================================================





Secret Stages!!!   This section was made possible by: Manami Takizawa of 

http://www.rpgdl.org/!!



These stages are each done with the descriptions.



L route: the secret stage in Goliath Port Town.



If you go the Law route (you bad bad bad murderer!), and DO NOT have Zapan 

Illuedus in your party, visit Goliath after the events in the Castle Brigantes.



You can make Zapan rejoin you, just knock his HP lower than 20, but do not knock him 

to death.  Then he will join.



L Route: Go to Bellmorses Plateaus, get into a random-encounter.

	You will fight Oxyones Lavin, a Beast Tamer.  Knock his HP lower than 20, but 

don't kill him.  Go back to Castle of Cortani to see some events!!





N Route (this is the same as how to Get Selye)



	This is an improved version of that trick.



When you see her again in Board Fortress, she will not join you.  

First, finish the mission in Banhamooba Palace, THEN go to the City of 

Clitheroe.  Once there, read the Warren Report, Other's section, read about the "Pirate of 

Quadriga."  Go there, then kill the pirate.  Then talk to Selye.  After that, she will join 

you.

After this battle you can get both the pirate and Selye.  But be careful one thing: 

if you choose not to forgive the pirate, he will fight you and he won't join you, so choose 

your words carefully.  



===============================================================

All Route:  After you read about the Exeter Island (please refer to the trick earlier on how 

to get the great attacks).  Go to Madolath Ice Field.



After you finished the battle in Madolath Ice Field, go up to Bellmorses Plateaus for 

another battle.  Try talking to Cyclops here to recruit them.



After this, go to Boategeng Plain for yet another battle.

===============================================================



Here are some hot hot tricks!



After Selye became a Shaman: Go to Board Fortress.

	After Shelley became a Shaman: Go to Guccho Fortress.

	After Sisteena Fouriner became a Shaman: Go to Damintha Fortress (all the way 

on the left)

	After Olivia Fouriner became a Shaman: Go to Geldo Fortress.



Palace of Zoshonell:  After you get Selye, and have a Flame Shield, go to Board Fortress 

to go to the palace.



Palace of Bertha: Go to Guccho with Shelley in your party, and you have a Soil Shield.



Palace of Hahnela: Go to Damintha Fortress with a Thunder Shield and with Sisteena in 

your party.



Palace of Gruza: Go to Geldo Fortress with Olivia Fouriner and an Ice Shield.	

===============================================================





Okay, there are few secret stages BUT they can be found in this FAQ, please refer to the 

Hidden Classes section, and how to get the Gunner and Guns section!!

===============================================================



LAST stage secrets:  In the last stage, there are hidden doors for you to enter.  Depending 

on which door you go, you go to different floors.  I'll do a very loose translation on the 

stage names, and use a flow chart to make things easier.

Some of the names are hard to translate, so I'll use names I made up!!  Haha!

(Just about now this stupid computer CRAHSED!!  But luckily I saved everything before 

it did that to me)

(also, there are secrets in getting many items too, but I'm exhausted, I need some 

energizer to recharge.  I never thought this FAQ will take me this long, but as I improve 

it, I just can't leave things undone.)

===============================================================

Hidden Items:



First of ALL, I don't want to include those items you can find in a stage (search and 

burn).  The items here are those you get when you sell your Large size pals.  Note: I did 

NOT include those you can get from Death Palace.





READ this before anything else:  getting the items depends on how many monsters you 

can sell that particular time.  For example, if you have five red dragons, and sold them all 

at once, you can buy FIVE Flame swords.  Then if you came back later with more red 

dragons, there will be NO more flame sword.  So if you leave the store, there won't be 

any more on sale even if you have the monsters!





Flame Dragon Sword: it is made out of the scales of a red dragon, a dragon killer. 

If you sell a RED DRAGON (its level MUST be 15 or over) at Castle Cortani, you can 

buy this item.



Dark Dragon Blade: A blade made out of Tiamatt'steeth.  A dragon killer.

(note:  I think Tiamatt is a black dragon name.  I can't find it in the dictionary).

You can buy this in Brigantes Castle when you sell a Tiamatt with level of 20 or more.



Procus: A very strong hammer.  It will breathe the flame of lotus.

Goliath port town (where you meet Zapan again).

this.

this equipped.

===============================================================





FIRECREST: The ultimate treasure, the certificate of a true hero.  A red crest that sealed 

the soul of legendary dragon- Divine Dragon.



In order to get this one, you need to fulfill 3 requirements:

1)Beat Nybbas in the last level of the Death Palace (Basement 100).

2)Read about the report on FireCrest.

3)Have with you the FOUR Wind weapons (get them when you kill guardians in the 

Death Palace).  The four items are: Boreas, Notos, Zepuros, Aeros.



Then go back to the Death Palace.  The last guy has the crest.



What will this crest do?  Try out yourself!!

NOTE: I have spent much time with love and sweat on this FAQ.  So if you 

want to post this on your site, tell me first.  



Tactics Ogre FAQ was done by Henry Chan.  Any illegal uses or claiming 

credits will result in me hating you.  Yes that is the only thing I can do about it ^_^





Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together is a copy right of Quest, published by 

Artdink, WGC for PSX.  All rights reserved.or whatever legal words people can put 

here, I'm no good with those things.



PS: First I thought it was "Clink Together."  I think CLINK fits more.  It is like, 

a bunch of knights raising their swords and Clink them Together in mid air, forming a 

triangular shape of blades.anyway.



Credits: My on hands, my messed-up key board.

Thanks to a guy called RhaKeeM996.  He emailed me and said ONLY this "I 

think you should write a Tactics Orge faq."  That was it!  And I actually started writing 

this FAQ.  Actually ever since I played the SFC version I wanted to do something that 

could help and share this game with other players.  SO, please enjoy, and don't forget: 

ALSO : TO all who encouraged me on making updates.  Without you I can't 

pick up the keyboard and type more!!  Thank you all and please enjoy this FAQ untill the 

next update.  Before than, LET US CLINK, I'm mean, CLING TOGETHER.
