Actually this is my first walkthrough but I really want this to look good. The reason why I chose to make a walkthrough on Threads of Fate mainly is that because there are no walkthroughs that are specifically written for the North American Version as of August 7, 2000. Maybe, I also created this because Threads of Fate is a relatively short game (about 24 hours of game play). I also included paragraphs in almost all or all parts of the game that talks about the story of the game (enclosed by these - *story*). They are SPOILERS so I suggest that you should not read them unless 1) You have finished the game or that section already or 2) You did not understand the story at that part. -Others and the FAQ- Everyone is welcome to read and keep this document. This can also be sent or given to anyone without notice to me as long as it is NOT 1) used for commercial or profitable reasons 2) given for free in order to sell a product 3) altered or ripped off and that be sure that the author and especially all those who contributed in this document are credited (I really took time doing this and I deserve it [I think {sigh!}] and the ones that contributed too!) -Help me and the FAQ- I am not perfect. I make mistakes somewhere here and somewhere there. I also miss a lot of things, specially hard to get items or side-quests that 1) requires you to go back to a dungeon you already finished or 2) requires you to talk to a person or to several persons in order to trigger the quest. Please correct me from my mistakes. Also, if you want to add/contribute something that I missed or miscellaneous tips, just E-Mail me and I will credit you. Spelling and grammar corrections will also be appreciated. I am also poor (sometimes) in understanding the plot or story of a game so if I am mistaken in writing about a certain story line, drop me a mail. [My E-Mail address is written somewhere at the beginning of this document but if you do not want to scroll back up ... (why?) it is ] If there are something you want to add such as the enemies stats, or game secrets or anything, please give it to me. I will credit anyone who contributes to this thing. Hey, don't forget to tell me where you read this document if you are going to e-mail me. -Web Sites and the FAQ- If you want this document on your site just E-Mail me. I am a very considerate person and will most likely allow you to post it. But certain guidelines are to be followed though [I sound like a selfish person if I add things like this] 1) The -Others and the FAQ- part of this note guidelines are followed 2) Your E-Mail address or your site welcomes the FAQ/Walkthrough's updates 3) You place the update as soon as possible If you E-Mail me, make sure it contain these things 1) Your site (very important) 2) You are asking me permission or something (very important, what if it was an advertisement or something). 3) You place the E-Mail address where I am supposed to reply and where I am supposed to send updates. -Me, you and the FAQ- You can also send me questions via E-Mail or ICQ me if I am available. ################### ## ---Warning--- ## ################### This FAQ/Walkthrough CONTAIN MAJOR SPOILERS and I STRONGLY suggest that YOU SHOULD NOT READ the walkthrough UNLESS you are STUCK or have FINISHED the game AT LEAST ONCE on BOTH CHARACTERS.

The version numbers are jumpy because I wanted my version 0.00 - 1.00 to be somewhat like percentages of my progress where in .01 is 1% completion. When I mean a 100% completion, it means that all the necessary stuff is there but because there is still a tendency of me missing something. After that, I will increase the version number by .1 if I added certain things and by .01 if I corrected something else. ########################################### ## ---Things to be done in the future--- ## ########################################### I believe that this FAQ / Walkthrough is mostly complete. No more updates for me except when I decided to fix some very minor errors when I read this document or something new came out about this game [perhaps a proven rumor or something]. Also, note that I changed my e-mail address so if you sent something there, sent it again at my new e-mail address. ########################### ## ---Asking for Help--- ## ########################### If you want help, just e-mail me about it. I also know a lot of RPGs so you can probably ask me anything about many games. But this would take at least a few hours to get a reply. But if you are unlucky, meaning you sent the e-mail when I am in school or sleeping, you'll get your reply at a later time. I suggest you use the GameFAQs message board. Just sign up and post on the game board of the game you want help on. ############################# ## ---Table of Contents--- ## ############################# I. Introduction II.

Copyrights and Legal Stuff ######################### ## ---Introduction --- ## - I am going to fix this, it sounds stupid ######################### Threads of Fate is an action-RPG which is developed and released by Square. It is like Brave Fencer Musashi or Alundra 2 in terms of gameplay. Threads of Fate is 3D (just like Brave Fencer Musashi or Alundra 2) and has two playable characters namely Rue and Mint. Their story, just like that of Star Ocean 2 are somewhat alike, they aim for the same things, they have the same goal but different intentions. I considered Threads of Fate a fun game to play mainly because of Mint's dialogues but also that the game is really enjoyable. ############################## ## ---List of Characters--- ## ############################## Rue - A mysterious boy.

You will see the Sony logo, then the Play Station logo. Then you will see something like this 'Published by Square' or something, then you will see the Squaresoft logo. After that you will be at the 'Press Start Screen' where in there is the Threads of Fate logo. At the press start screen, you can press L1 or R1 to see some kind of intro of the two main characters of the game, other characters and enemies. There are no FMV sequences in this game. [Why? Why Square? ... Why? ...] If you press start, you will be asked whether to start a 'New Game' or 'Continue' your game [that you already saved (duh!)]. Press 'X' to confirm. If you chose 'New Game', you can choose between the two playable characters in the game, either Rue [Tale of a Mysterious Boy] or Mint [Tale of a spunky girl]. Press the 'X' or confirm button to begin any of the two tales. ++++++++++++++++++ + ---Controls--- + ++++++++++++++++++ You can change the controls in the game . D-Pad - Character Movement. Up, Down, Left and Right. L1/R1 - Rotate Camera - applicable in certain places only. - See also Camera Movement section The different control settings: -Control Setting A- Triangle - Attack 2 (Rue) / Magic (Mint) Square - Transform (Rue) / Set Magic (Mint) X - Attack / Confirm Circle - Jump / Cancel -Control Setting B- Triangle - Transform (Rue) / Set Magic (Mint) Square - Attack 2 (Rue) / Magic (Mint) X - Attack / Confirm Circle - Jump / Cancel -Control Setting C- Triangle - Transform (Rue) / Set Magic (Mint) Square - Attack / Confirm X - Attack 2 (Rue) / Magic (Mint) Circle - Jump / Cancel -Control Setting D- Triangle - Attack 2 (Rue) / Magic (Mint) Square - Attack / Confirm X - Transform (Rue) / Set Magic (Mint) Circle - Jump / Cancel +++++++++++++++++++++++++ + ---Camera Movement--- + +++++++++++++++++++++++++ You can change the game's camera movement in the game options. Access the game options from the menu. There are two types of camera movements, normal and reverse. The normal and reverse concept of this game is unlike other games and I believe that Square was mistaken in this one. Why?, because: The normal camera movement goes like this. When you press L1, the camera moves to the right and when you press R1, the camera moves to the left. [Isn't this supposed to be the reverse camera movement] The reverse camera movement goes like this. When you press L1, the camera moves to the left and when you press R1, the camera moves to the right. [This should have been the normal camera movement] +++++++++++++++++++ + ---Attacking--- + +++++++++++++++++++ Attacking in this game gives you a 3-Hit combo then there will be a brief stop. Attacking is also auto-aim, meaning that if you attack, even if the enemy is behind your back, your character will automatically face the other direction and whack the enemy. Also, if you attack, every time you hit an enemy your MP will restore depending on how powerful the enemy is (the stronger the enemy is the higher the restore of MP). For Rue, he has the 3-Hit combo together with Attack 2. Attack 2 in Rue's normal form can be best utilized when the enemies are hard to attack using Attack 1 like the Stingers. Attack 2 does not use MP and just like Attack 1, you can get MP if you hit an enemy with it. There is also the jump attack. The jump attack has twice the damage of an ordinary attack. Rue's jump attack is a spin while damaging the enemy on both directions. Mint's jump attack is a jump kick and deals damage from enemies that is below or in front of it. In some battles, the jump attack proves very useful. Eventually (at the Final Battle) Rue's Attack 2 will turn in to a defense posture. The damage you receive (I think) is minimized and you won't fall down or lose your ground if you receive a strong blow. +++++++++++++++++++ + ---Transform--- + +++++++++++++++++++ Rue needs monster coins in order to transform. Monster coins can be acquired by killing monsters (just like money) but it does not subtract anything from the monster coins that you can get for money and if you sell your monster coins, even if you can read 0 monsters for all, you can still transform into that monster as long as you have killed it. But even if it is like this, you can carry up to 4 monsters in your transformation inventory (you can see that at Rue's Status) at a time. In transforming as I said earlier, require monster coins, and only 4 monsters in the inventory. If you press the transform button, you can choose to transform into the 4 monsters or become Rue. Rue and the monsters have different abilities for Attack 1 and Attack 2. Sometimes attacks would use up MP, but sometimes it does not. Aside from difference of attacks, the way they look like (pretty obvious) and the way they move is also different. Sometimes the monster has the power to jump twice or float on terrain, others can run faster and jump further. See the Transformation List for extra details. +++++++++++++++ + ---Magic--- + +++++++++++++++ Mint uses MP when using Magic. Magic is divided into classes and type. Different magic classes are (Blue, White, Red, Green, Yellow, Black and Gold). Also, magic, just like attacks, is auto-aim. Mint automatically aims the magic to the enemy. Also magic attacks with different effects (like Wide, Normal, Super, Power, Hyper, Circle and Cosmos). You can gain classes or colors from certain events and the effects can be acquired from chests scattered in the game. If you press the 'Set Magic' button, you can change the color of the magic to the one you want to use by pressing the 'Left' or 'Right' direction button and by pressing the 'Up' or 'Down' button, you can change the effects of the magic. In the 'Set Magic' screen, the one in the center is the icon of the magic you want to use and the icon of the effect. On the top, you can see the magic's name, below it the MP and below of it, on the left is the effect of the magic and at the right is the description of the magic (though it is a very vague description for a magic attack but you can get ideas from it though). Also check out the magic list section. +++++++++++++++++++ + ---Game Over--- + +++++++++++++++++++ If your HP reaches below 0, you will be in the 'Game Over' screen (except for situations like fighting Rod or the fight together with the Trap Master). In this screen you will be asked to choose from three things, first whether to continue the game at that point, or to go back to town or to exit. If you chose the first 'Continue', you will be asked what is the coin you want to use: Bronze Coin - Full HP & 1/4 MP Silver Coin - Full HP & 1/2 MP Gold Coin - Full HP & MP Platinum Coin - Full HP & MP, +1 Base Strength & Defense If you chose to 'Go back to town', you will end up in town [where else?] and your parameters (Maximum HP, Maximum MP, Strength & Defense) will remain the same to the ones before you died, and NOT before your last save so it is all right. The monsters coins you have will also be the same at the time before you died so do not worry. The problem with this though is that the items you picked up at that place will be gone and you have to go back through that place again :(. If you chose exit, you will forfeit your chance of continuing, so if I was you, if you are planning on choosing this, reconsider and choose the 'Go back to town' option and 'Save' your game if you want to quit. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ + ---Increasing Parameters--- + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In Threads of Fate, there are no 'Level Up' features, nor do you gain experience from fighting enemies. To increase your parameters, you need to do the following. Check out Hobbs' Shop and Item Shop in the The Town section. ___________________________________________________________________________ | Status of | How to increase | |--------------|----------------------------------------------------------| | Maximum HP | Buy from Hobb's Shop, Receive enemy damage. | | Maximum MP | Buy from Hobb's Shop, Cast magic | | Strength | Buy from Hobb's Shop, Buy bonuses on Tonio's Item Shop | | Defense | Buy from Hobb's Shop, Buy bonuses on Tonio's Item Shop | |--------------|----------------------------------------------------------| You can also increase your parameters in the tavern after giving the Legendary equipment to Jargen the bartender and giving him the right ingredients. _________________________________________________________________ | Dish | Enemies Required | Status Raised | |---------------------------------------------------------------| | Minced Fire Blobs | 50 Fire Blobs | +10 Maximum HP | | Mushroom Soup | 60 Fungies | +10 Maximum MP | | Pollywog Souffle | 50 Pollywogs | +2 Base Strength | | Gudon Liver Soup | 30 Gudons | +2 Base Defense | |---------------------------------------------------------------| ###################################### ## ---Frequently Asked Questions--- ## ###################################### Q. Where can I find the (something) and what does it do? A. Just try finding the item using the 'Search' or 'Find' feature in your word processor, whatever word processor you are using. Usually it is in the something bar, look under 'Edit'. Most of the time, you just have to press Ctrl-F for the 'Find' or 'Search' window to open up. Just type the item and just read the text near it and maybe they will lead you to something. ***************************************************************************** Q. How often do you check your e-mail? (I made this up) A. At the least, once a day. ***************************************************************************** Q. Darn it, I need money, where can I get some? A. If you kill monsters, go to a shop and use the option 'Sell Monsters'. Note that if you sell, you will be selling all of them. Also, you can get money by selling items like stones, coins, or the rare but sellable equipment like the Legendary stuff and the like. ***************************************************************************** Q. Are there FMVs like the FMVs in Final Fantasy 8 in Threads of Fate? A. Sadly, there are no FMVs, just like Brave Fencer Musashi. ***************************************************************************** Q. Those blinking things around towns, I found out that they were items and you said that it appears at random, are you sure? A. No, I am not. Verify them if you like. Thanks! ***************************************************************************** Q. Can I ask you about other games besides Threads of Fate? A. Go ahead, I will entertain everything that is at my e-mail (well, except advertisements though) and I think I would love to do that. ***************************************************************************** Q. Can I buy items that restore HP and MP in dungeons? A. You can't. There are no such things in Threads of Fate. What you could do is to get the potions (blue to restore HP and red to restore MP), step on heal panels (to restore HP) or use Mint's blue magic (Blue - Restore) to gain HP. ***************************************************************************** Q. Why are the story parts near the end full of this (...)? (you can spoil the story for me) A. But some people doesn't want to and I think that you guys should find it out for yourselves. ***************************************************************************** Q. Do you retain all the items you have in New Game +? A. No not all but you will retain all coins, all stones and other things except from other rare things that I am not really sure. For more info, check out the So You've Finished the Game section. ***************************************************************************** Q. I have finished one character and I am asking if I can play that character again (before playing the other one)? A. No, you can't but if you finished the other character, you will have the New Game + mode and you can play both characters alternatively and that would depend on you who to play at any given time. ***************************************************************************** Q. I am fighting Pollywogs at Carona Forest for a long time now but I still couldn't get a level up, what is wrong with this game? A. Mainly, there are no 'Level up' in Threads of Fate. You can increase your maximum HP by taking damage, your MP by using MP consuming abilities, your Strength and Defense by buying upgrades from Hobbs, by buying items (bracers for strength and belts for defense) from Tonio. You can also increase your Maximum HP, MP, Strength and Defense by giving Jargen the 'Legendary Items' (Legendary Sword, Legendary Shield and the Legendary Helmet) and give him the necessary ingredients. Also, for more info, check out the You Need to Know These Stuff section pertaining to the Increasing Parameters. ***************************************************************************** Q.

Upon hearing that, Claire will say that she is cooking the food and it will be ready in a little while so that they can rest early tonight. *Story* Now that you are controlling Rue, talk to Claire and go talk to the bench. *Story* Claire will serve the food and suddenly, they will hear the sound of animals and Rue decides to check on the animals outside. Rue wonders what is happening because the animals seems to be very disturbed but there are no wolves or anything that might threaten them. Then a man wearing black, with a large claw and a gem on his forhead will attack Rue. Rue fights back but he will drop down so Claire went outside and attack the man with a hoe. Rue desperately wants to stand up and tells Claire to run away but the man attacks Claire with his claws [;_;]. Rue gets enraged and attacks the man wildly.

Enter the 'Inn' go to the counter and press confirm button at the log book (that is what it looks like for me), select register. (See Saving in 'You need to know these stuff' section. You can choose to go to the church. Talk to Doyle (the person in there), say that you like to pray, then he will ask you if you like to make a donation but since you only have 100 G so don't bother. There is nothing to do at the Hotel. Elena's House is locked. The store doesn't sell anything yet but the storekeeper will tell you about the antique shop. He will say that the antique shop is in another side of town and the shop's keeper Klaus is out together with his wife Mira to research about the [Relic] in the forest. He also will say that the antique shop is being run by Klaus' daughter, Elena [because Klaus is not there] but she isn't there because she has gone to the forest to go looking for her parents. You can talk to the people there and they will say some interesting things so try talking to them (specially to Marco). After that, proceed to B (see Map). ______________________ | x | 6 _| | Town of Carona (B) Map = |___|=| ____| | | | 6. Tavern | = 7 | 7. Hobbs' House | |___| | | x. Silver Coin (barrel) |____________________| Here, first check the barrel, it contains a Silver Coin. Go to the tavern if you like and talk to Annette (the waitress) many times and she will treat you to drink either 'Milk' or 'Root beer'. Milk restores 10% of your MP and the Root beer restores your MP 25% (so choose the 'Root beer'). There is also a sign beside the Tavern's door (leads you to the outside of the Tavern). There will be a fight at Grass Fields, the fighting fee is 100 G and the winners prize is 1000 G. Leave the tavern. Hobbs' Shop is locked so leave the place and go next to C (see Map). ______________=__ || | | Town of Carona (C) Map ||____|x | ||_PO_| | x. Silver Coin | | | | +. Sea |+++++++++++++++| PO.

You will be fighting against the Pollywog, (see Fighting, and Increasing Parameters in 'You need to know these stuff' section) they are EASY, just whack them. The game will say that when you attack an enemy, your will gain MP. Also the enemies drop potions. The Blue Potion restores some of your HP and the Red Potion restores some of your MP. The restoration of your HP when picking up the blue potions or restoration of your MP by picking up red potions or attacking enemies physically depends on how strong the enemy is [If the enemy is pitiful, you will gain 1 or when it is strong, you will gain 2 or more]. The enemies keep coming back so after beating enough (two of them I think) advance to the place where you need to use magic to defeat the enemies (see Transform, 'You need to know these stuff' section). Get the Pollywog monster coin which has the power of float and use that so that you can easily cross the water (shallow water), take the 3x Bronze Coins in the treasure box (or whirling pink thingie) [would you mind if I call it box or chest or something and not whirling pink thingie].

Just reach the exit. Nothing special here except two new enemies, the Saber Tiger and the Mandola. The Saber Tiger is fast and deals 3-8 damage to you. You can kill it in about 3 hits. The Mandola attacks in long range, and can be killed within 3 hits. Before you leave the area, make your you have at least a 30 HP, you'll need it, trust me. _________________ | | 1 | | | |___h___| | 1. Nothing - just a skull or something. | | | | h.

They are going to steal money from her. Rue will be hiding at the back of the rock and he decides to help her. But he needs to tranform so that he could go near and whack the bad guys. *Story* Transform yourself into a Pollywog. *Story* Rue, in a pollywog form, will approach the Blood and Smokey and attack them. Blood and Smokey will get mad and decided to kill the pollywog (which is Rue). *Story* Here is your first *BOSS* battle against Blood and Smokey. *Boss Battle- Smokey & Blood* Challenge: Easy What you do here is run until only one is at your back [try to trap one using obstacles]. When he is alone, just attack until he is defeated. *Story* Blood and Smokey will run away and Rue will turn back into his human form and Elena will be surprised and will call Rue Polly from now on. She will think that maybe you are a monster but for her she will tell Rue that it does not matter. Elena will ask Polly [^_^] to help her find her parents who are searching for the [Relic] and upon hearing this, Rue decides to help her. After that, Rue will wonder about maybe that he is a monster. *Story* ____________ _/ ______ \ / / | \\ | _______ 1.

You will meet Rue here for the first time. *Story* Rue will ask Klaus, Elena's father if he can do something to find the [Relic]. He will tell you about the [Relics]. Since he has spent his life searching for ruins, he found out certain things. Klaus says that 100 years ago there was a magician that was also searching for the [Relics]. The magician lived in an Atelier (a magician's workshop) which has a key to somewhere that could probably lead to the [Relic] but the problem is that it is below the steep cliff Klaus tried going down but they both broke their ankles. Rue decides to jump down the cliff. *Story* (I am planning for a 3D look at this map but it is so hard) ____ |21| |4322|__ |5666666|_ _____|66| - Sorry about this it was hard. |8777776| - Just follow the numbers, then the letters. ___|9+++++7| - 123456789abcdefghij |bba||||||&| |bb|||||||&| ||ccdde|||&| |gffeee| |7| & It means that it is both 6 & 7.

What you do here is to run around and after that enter the Atelier but ... *BOSS* battle, Nightmare. *Boss Battle - Nightmare* Challenge: Easy - Medium Just try running around, while evading the attacks and when Nightmare closes, jump away. Transform yourself into a Saber Tiger and use Thrust. Thrust its sides (don't go head to head). *Story* Klaus, Mira and Elena will catch up here and Klaus and Rue will go inside the Atelier while Mira and Elena will wait outside *Story* _____________________ | 1 | | ________=_______ | | | ____________ | | 1.

Then Elena will call Rue so Rue steps outside and Elena will tell him that Rue's friend is outside, a pollywog. *Story* Go back inside the Atelier. *Story* Klaus will tell Rue that they found something pretty important but someone will arrive and demand that you give it to her. Rue will ask for her name and she will say 'Princess' Mint. Rue and Klaus doesn't want to give up what they found so Mint will try to attack them so she jumps down but she will drop flat on the ground. She will leave and tell you that she will get it later. Klaus will ask Rue to carry what they have just recently found back to Klaus' house. *Story* You will automatically end up in town. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** *Story* Mira, Klaus wife is talking to Ms. Cartha, the innkeeper. She asks Ms. Cartha to let Rue stay at the inn for free so now you can recover HP at the inn. Mira tells Rue to proceed to their house (Klaus' house). *Story* I suggest that you go to the inn first to save. Go inside the inn, talk to Ms. Cartha and she will ask you to Recover / Recover & Register / Go to your room. Choose Recover & Register then save your game [sadly, the inn only restores your HP]. After that, if you like, check out your room. Nothing really important, just talk to the bed and sleep [it doesn't replenish your MP either :(]. Leave the place and go check out Hobbs' place. Even though you can't buy anything here yet, just make a trip their to find out more stuff about the game. In Hobbs' place, you can choose to [upgrade] your base strength, base defense, maximum HP and maximum MP. Your base strength will increase by 1 and the same goes for the base defense. Your maximum HP and maximum MP will increase by 10. It costs 30,000 G for each one (base strength or base defense or maximum HP or maximum MP). It is ultra-mega-hyper [ok, you probably understand already] expensive but if you give the Rare Wine to him later in the game, you can buy one for 5,000 G. Now you can go to the tavern and replenish your MP (but I suggest not to). Talk to the bartender and he will offer you Milk for 50 G (restores 10% MP), Rootbeer 120 G (restores 25% MP) and Tropical Delight 220 G (restores 50% MP). Leave the tavern. Now to got to the shop. At the item shop, talk to the shopkeeper, his name is Tonio. First sell your coins (monster coins not the Bronze or Silver Coins). Check out what he is selling. At this point, he is selling Item Shop Item Description Cost Bronze Bracer - Bonus Strength +4 - 1,000 G Silver Bracer - Bonus Strength +8 - 3,000 G Bronze Belt - Bonus Defense +4 - 1,000 G Silver Belt - Bonus Defense +8 - 3,000 G If you have 3,000 G, go buy the Silver Bracer. After that leave the shop. Now if you have confidence in yourself, try going to the Grasslands. Here try fighting Rod. *Story* Here, Rod introduces himself and his dog Johnny Wolf. He says that he is a weapon blacksmith and a swordsman. Rod will challenge Rue because he saw the large weapon that Rue is carrying. If you decide to fight, you have to pay 100 G (you will win 1,000 G if you beat him). Pay the 100 G and do battle. *Story* *Boss Battle - Rod* Challenge: Hard Approach him with caution. Do not go near him when he is spiraling either the ground or jumping one. Try leading him to the obstacle (in the middle). He will stop spiraling so now run and attack him using a 3-hit combo, then evade his attack by jumping back twice. After that attack again using a 3-hit then evade his attack by jumping back again twice. Then run around until he does again the spiraling move (either the jumping one or ground one). Repeat the above steps again till you win. If you win against him, you will get 1,000 G but if you lose then you wasted your money. So after that, go back to town and go to Klaus' House. Go to the basement and talk to Klaus. *Story* He will tell you that according to the diary Rue found at the Atelier below the cliff, an Aeon [Relic] is sealed by a high order of magic, which even the magicians cannot break. And according to the diary, the magician will go to the Atelier of the Master Magician Elroy. Now you are instructed to go to Elroy's Atelier and get more info about the [Relic]. *Story* +++++++ + END + +++++++++++++++++ ++ -Beginning- ++ +++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 2 + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Underground mystery- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ******************** * 'Town of Carona' ****** ************************* * Items: Dream Stone * ************************* After that, go talk to Marco, the kid outside town. Talk to him twice until he tells you about a something hidden in the stump in Carona Forest. So now, head for the Hotel and ask for a room (it costs 500 G). ______=______ | | | ____| 1. Bed | |_1_| | | x. Dream Stone |x__________| First get the bed and examine the bed to sleep. You will dream about some monkey, jumping down the hollow stump. [You might wonder that why did I let you sleep in the hotel if you could have just slept at the inn. 1) is that because you can get the Dream Stone here and 2) No you will not get the dream if you slept at the inn.] After that leave the Hotel and go talk to Graham outside town for some tips in playing the game. You need to buy the Silver Belt so if you don't have enough money, fight enemies at Carona Forest and while you are there, why don't you go search for the items that I listed that you should get later, get them now, the Silver Coin and Bronze Coin (outside the Atelier). ******************* * 'Carona Forest' ********* *************************** * Items: Moon Stone * * Enemies: Pollywog * * Saber Tiger * * Mandola * * Ootang * * Stinger * * Gargoyle * *************************** Here, get a Mandola coin and go to the place where you always fight Blood and Smokey. At that room, transform into a Mandola and use Bloom. If it is near you and jumping at you, attack it using Seed. Get its coin and transform into Ootang and climb the tree at the northeast. You will be in a new area. __________________________________________________________________ |_________| |_______| |_________| |_________= ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ | |_| |_| |_| |_| |T| |1| |_| |_| |_| | _________________________________________________________________| T.

Because of that, Duke will want to fight you using his new act that he learned from a book called "Shadow Night" which is about the ninjas. *Story* *Boss Battle - Duke* Challenge: Medium You can avoid his attacks by jumping aside. Just use attack 1 to dispose of him. *Story* Belle will say "Good work" to Duke and she will steal the Tiara from Rue.

Try whacking it once and get the hell out. Go to the left and step on the platform with the star icon. Now, run like hell to the top by taking the inner belt (the one closer to the center) and try avoiding the spiked iron balls by passing when you can get a good clearing (it is quite alright to take a hit or two). Pollywog works great here so make sure you have one and you can jump over the iron balls too! *Story* It is a dead end, and the Skull Beast is close, Rue will take a side step so the Skull Beast will fall below. *Story* You will automatically end up in town. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Go to Klaus' House. *Story* In the basement, he will tell Rue that he now knows where the relic was and it is inside the Lake Ruins. Also he will tell Rue that the Cube is somewhat like a key needed to enter the ruins in the lake. Rue will say sorry because he lost the Tiara. Klaus will say that it is ok because they do not know what the cube is for anyway. He will then tell Rue that he knows someone that may know how to use the Cube so maybe you should ask Mel a magician and is living at her Atelier, but he doesn't want to go there so it is up to you to go there because of some reason. *Story* +++++++ + END + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Underground mystery- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 3 + ++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Mel's Atelier - ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++ Now you can access Mel's Atelier and the Lakeside. Go first to Hobb's Shop. Here, you can give Hobbs the Rare Wine. If you give it to him, he will give you a discount from 30,000 G to 5,000 G for each base status increase [YEAH! ^_^]. After doing that, go to Mel's Atelier. ******************* * 'Mel's Atelier' * ******************* _____________________ | \________________ = \ s.

Save here - will show up after knocking at the door \_______/ | | |=| Go knock at the door (where else are you supposed to knock, the roof? HELLOOOOOO!) of Mel's Atelier. *Story* Rue will notice that the place was very unusual. Rue also now knew why Klaus did not want to go to this place. Rue knocks at the door and she notices a strange sound after that, a dwarf-like creature appears and tells him that Mel is not home and he should play the games while waiting. *Story* [Ok, I don't want to play, can I just stand outside and wait for an hour or something. [No you can't, you have to play the DAMN game] ;_;]. Go save first because you *may* reset and bash your CD because of this ultra-annoying mini-games [especially the Big Swings and Giant Balls]. Go play the easiest first, Blow Trumpet. Talk to the Poppul Purrels outside until you find the one that asks you to play Blow Trumpet. [Sorry no maps for the mini-games. I was so annoyed that I can't do it.] The games here are timed, and if you hurry, you can get more time at the bonus game. In the bonus game, if you reached or gone above the high score which is 500 points, you can get a Silver Coin, but if not, you can get a Bronze Coin. Here, wait for the waves or hurry up to avoid it. The enemy here called the cockadoo is annoying. Go blast it with anything you have, just kill the damn thing. On the seesaw, it may seem like impossible to reach, but it is possible. Another seesaw is like something I do not know what to call it [anybody knows?], first jump at the left side of it, then at the right side, then again at the left side, and again at the right side and do the following until you are confident enough to jump to the other side. A little walk after that and you will be at the bonus game. In the bonus game, you have to step on the trumpets to keep the cockadoo away. If you blast many cockadoos at a time, you can get more points. If the cockadoo lands on your head you lose. After this, go save and go to the Big Swings. Here, be careful in jumping because the enemies here, called the Imp has an attack that throws stars at you, try to be patient enough so that you don't get hit by it. Also, careful in the swings too. It is very easy to slip by a few centimeters and you will fall. At the bonus game, you have to get the balls to earn points. Do not get the black balls. If you get balls of the same color in consecutive order, you can get bonus points. After that, save and now is the time that you go to the hardest one (for me), the Giant Balls. Careful in jumping again because of the Imps. In jumping from a Giant Ball, make sure you don't jump late because you will fall off. There are also cubes near the end where you can step on. It will fall so jump to the next place as soon as possible. The bonus game here requires you to beat up the fungies. Strategy, avoid fungi build up, go all out, whack 'em all. After this, the cockadoo save point will be gone. If you try to knock again at the door. *Story* Mel will arrive and Rue will be staring at her so she will ask and Rue will say that he was just looking at the fancy stuff all around her. Rue will ask her for help. Inside, she will discourage you to go get Valen's [Relic] (Rue wonders why the name Valen sounds familiar) because it has the ability to destroy the world. Rue will say that he doesn't care because he has spent the 3 years searching for it. After that, she will agree to help you but you should help her by finding the Poppul Purrel that she asked to go to town the other day. Rue will agree to the deal and he will leave. Mel will talk to herself about Rue, being a poor guy because he still doesn't have a clue. *Story* Now go back to town [what a relief!]. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** If you like, go to the Lakeside. ************** * 'Lakeside' * ************** ___________ | | | R | R.

Mint wanted to escort the Poppul Purrel but he said that he would be fine going alone. Now, it would be late so Rue will head back to town. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Before going to your room at the inn and sleeping, go to the Grasslands area and talk to Rod. *Story* Here, Rod will tell Rue something about his past. He will tell Rue the reason why he is, both swordsman and weapon smith. He then tells Rue about his father, Pleskin being the greatest swordsman in the world. Rod wanted to challenge his father for the title but he did not have the chance to do so because his father died already. So now, he seeks to become, just like his father, to be written down in history and excel as being the greatest swordsman and weapon smith. *Story* Now that you have done that, go back to the inn, proceed to your room talk to Ms. Cartha and say 'Go to your room') and sleep (examine your bed). *Story* Rue will have a dream wherein he is being called by Claire. Rue will chase after Claire but Claire's body goes farther and farther and will later be attacked by the claws of the man who you fought. Rue will tell Claire to run but it is too late. When Rue wakes up in the morning, he will mumble about Claire to come back. *Story* Leave your room. +++++++ + END + +++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Mel's Atelier- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 4 + +++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Rue's Memory - ++ +++++++++++++++++++++ Go to Mel's Atelier. ******************* * 'Mel's Atelier' * ************************************************ * My Status: HP 122/122 STR 028 + 008 * * MP 124/124 DEF 016 + 008 * ************************************************ After that, go leave the town and go to Mel's Atelier. Enter the Atelier and in there *Story* Mel and the Poppul Purrel that Rue helped will thank him and Rue will inquire about the cube. Mel said that all you need to know is in the report so she hands Rue Mel's Report and the Cube. After that, Mel will ask Rue the question that she was supposed to tell Rue. She will ask Rue that is Rue human. Rue will ask Mel why does she ask something like that to him and Mel will say that there is something odd about Rue's spirit, she can see Rue's spirit together with a shadowy one. After that, she will say something that she is sorry if she has offended Rue, but Rue will say that it is all right and he will tell a story. Rue will say that five years ago, he woke up in some ruins and he can't remember anything. He tries to remember what to do, who he is and where to go. But suddenly, he fell down and Claire found him. Even though he is a complete stranger, Claire welcomed him. When she found out that Rue had nowhere to go and stay, she let Rue stay at her house. He will say that he wandered so long and at that time he found a home and Claire that is like his sister. But one night 'he' came and killed Claire, he looked like Rue, and he has a gem on his forehead. Rue will say that he wanted to kill the guy and so he emitted light and the guy was gone and he came to Claire and asked her to open her eyes but she was dead. Light emits on Claire's body and something came out and entered Rue's forehead, it was her spirit. Now, Mel has understood why Rue is so determined to get the [Relic] but still she asks Rue to think it over. After that somebody will knock at the door and Rue will leave. Outside Rue will see Mint together with Elena. Mint wanted to ask Rue what Mel told her but Rue doesn't want to tell so Mint is going to ask Mel. Elena will accompany Rue back to town. Rue will then explain to Elena that he is not a Pollywog but he can transform into one and Elena understood and apologized to Rue. But suddenly, Elena will see a star moving and it is duke. He demands to get Mel's report and the Cube from Rue but Rue does not want to give it. *Story* *Boss Battle - Duke* Challenge: Medium - Hard Just try to avoid his attacks. Just jump attack him until he falls and use attack 2 when he is flat on the ground. When he is spinning, just try to avoid him. After that, he has a finishing move that would deal 20 damage. *Story* Rue will demand to have the Tiara back but Duke jumps far away. *Story* Head back to town. *Story* You will see a cut scene with Doll Master talking to Psycho Master. Psycho Master will tell Doll Master about there is someone who is searching for the [Relic] and it is Rue. Doll will say that they must keep it a secret from Princess Maya. Psycho Master will also say that he prepared someone to watch what Rue is doing, and that guy will arrive to Carona tomorrow morning. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Back in town go to Klaus house and go talk to Klaus. *Story* Rue will give Klaus the report and the cube. Klaus says that the Cube can be opened so they opened it and something came out of it, something which is not human but a mechanical doll. It was written on the report that Grand Master Magician Elroy created the doll and the doll's name is Prima Doll and it is the one that can break the seal to Valen's Relic. But since Prima Doll is still incomplete, Mint can't break the seal now. Rue needs to get the parts for Prima Doll which is kept in the Ateliers of the apprentices of Elroy. A pair of gauntlets, a pair of sollerets are kept in the Ghost Temple while the Earrings is at the Atelier in Gamul Forest and the final item, the Amulet can be created from a Phantomite. Rue will say that he will go to the Ghost Temple and get the 2 pairs of items while Mint will go to the Gamul Forest to get the earrings. *Story* Sorcerer Yordaf is the magician that stays at the Ghost Temple and Klaus will be doing research about the amulet and the phantomite. +++++++ + END + ++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Rue's Memory- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 5 + +++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Haunted Temple- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++ ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** After that, go check out the new stuff at the shop.

He will say that he has a new act from the book "Fist of Fire" and the new move is the 'Sunrise Uppercut'. He will say that he is a little sleepy but his fist is powerful. He will also ask Elena to stay back before the battle. *Story* *Boss Battle - Duke* Challenge: Medium - Hard Avoid his fists and uppercut by jumping back. Also when he lights up, he will punch the ground and will either do a circular attack or a straight one directional attack. You can attack him when he finishes doing an uppercut and you can do that only twice because he has another uppercut which will follow. Do not attack the obstacles because they will deal you damage. You can also try to let him destroy the obstacles so that he will be the one to take up damage. *Story* After the battle, Duke cannot but desperately tries to get up. Rue will say to him that the battle is over but Duke is still determined to get the stuff from you. Elena will try to help Duke but Duke will refuse her offer because he does not need Elena's pity. But Elena will say that she wants to help Duke so Duke will get up and say thanks. After that, the Wall will move and there seems to be a trap mechanism and it would crush all of them. Rue will try to open the previous door but it is locked. Duke tries to stop the wall by pushing it and asks Rue to open the other door. Rue will try to open the door but it is also locked and Duke will tell him to bash it, destroy it or something because he cannot push any longer. *Story* Just continually use Attack 1 and it will eventually open. *Story* Elena will go out and say something about how good the sunlight feels and stuff. She will also ask you to go back to town. She will thank Duke but Duke will say that he just wanted to save himself. Elena will tell Duke to stop pretending because she knows that Duke is a good guy. Elena will tell Duke to take care of his injuries and then she will be going back to town with Rue. Duke will stop you and give the Right Gauntlet, Rue will thank him but Duke will say that it is not for Rue but for Elena for worrying about him. *Cut Scene* At the hotel, Belle is mad at Duke for giving Rue the Gauntlet and she will beat Duke up. She will ask Duke to explain why he gave it after he worked so hard just to get it. Duke couldn't explain because he will say that he was just help by Rue and Elena and when they were outside, he just got a strange feeling and gave it. He will say that he is stupid and promises to beat Rue up next time and get the stuff back. He will say that he can do that because he is psyched just like in the book. Belle will ask what book "'Fist of Fire', baby!!! Rue, I'm gonna like 'Fist of Fire' with you." - Duke "YOU MORON, (what was that all about? Maybe he really is a nut case." - Belle Solin will arrive and asks them to pay up 2,500 G for their stay. Belle will tell him that she is going to pay for it sometime tomorrow. Now, Belle asks Duke to fix up Hexagon, their secret weapon and get money FAST!. *Cut Scene* Rue will be back at town and he will see Claire going into the alley that leads to the tavern and Hobbs' shop. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Follow where Claire went, the alley that leads to the tavern. There, you will not see Claire but talk to Marco. *Story* Rue will ask Marco if there was a girl in a purple robe and that is about his height. Marco will say that he did not see anybody so Rue will wonder what he saw. *Story* If you check Rod out, he has a new weapon which is called the 'Golden Gale'. Go to Klaus' House. *Story* Mint will be there and tells Rue that Belle put her up to a tough fight at the forest. After that, they will put the Pair of Gauntlets, Pair of Sollerets and the Earrings to Prima Doll. Klaus will then ask the both of you to get the Phantomite at the Raging Mountains and somebody there named Wylaf is there and a collector of rare gems and minerals and he might have some. Mint decides to go but Klaus will tell her that Wylaf is a powerful dragon so she will back down and pass the work to Rue. Mint will also tell Rue that she will be the one that is going to confront Belle and Duke to get the Tiara which 'Rue lost'. *Story* +++++++ + END + ++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Haunted Temple- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 6 + +++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Raging Mountain- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++ Go sell your monster coins and buy Platinum stuff at Tonio's Shop.

Just beat up Duke using Attack 1. After he is over, use your jump attacks at Belle with Hexagon. Do not do that when you face to face with Hexagon and that you should only try using jump attack after it grabs air (since you are not there) or when you are at its back. If you drained the life bar of Belle with Hexagon, Belle will jump down and fight you.

Rue will apologize for the disturbance but he wants Wylaf's help. Wylaf will read Rue's mind and say that he has a lot of Phantomite but he would not give it to Rue. It is because that he can destroy the world in attempting to do, the reason why he wants to get the [Relic]. Wylaf will say that Rue is a selfish runt but Rue will say that you just want to save Claire and that he doesn't intend on destroying the world. Wylaf will tell Rue that his words are meaningless and that it can only be proven with a weapon. *Story* *Boss Battle - Wylaf* Challenge: Medium You can avoid getting damage and deal damage to Wylaf when WHILE he is swooping down at you, you use Attack 1 and slash the air until he gets near you and you will eventually slash him and he will go back into the air. Also, when he breathes a fireball, avoid the place where it will fall and avoid the (+) effect that it has (there would be a cross (+) in which the fireball is the intersection). Avoid also the vortex when he casts one because it will throw you into the air. When his life is below 1/2, the battle will be over. *Story* Wylaf will say that your heart is true and splendid and he will give you the Phantomite. Rue will thank Wylaf but Wylaf will say that there is no need because Rue deserves it. Wylaf will say that Rue's heart is true (again!) and that he knows that Rue will not misuse the power of the relic and that a 1,000 year old knowledge guarantees it. Wylaf will leave, (and maybe so for Rue too). *Cut Scene* You will see Belle and Duke at the tavern and blame each other because they failed. Belle will say that they do not have enough money to buy food, they have not yet paid the hotel and that they have to repair Hexagon. Duke will say that if they did not stay at the nice hotel, they could have had enough money. Belle will punch him and say that unlike Duke, she came from a good family and she does not want to stay at a cheapo inn. After that, Annette will ask them to leave because they are disturbing the other customers or they should just have to quiet down. Mint will arrive and they she is going to talk to Belle and Duke about something... *Cut Scene* At the town, the hoodlums will arrive and give Rue a letter of challenge. Rue is challenged to fight Blood and Smokey at the usual place at Carona Forest. The hoodlums will leave and tell Rue that they both hope that he will come. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Why don't you go and save your game at the inn and go to Carona Forest. ******************* * 'Carona Forest' ************* ******************************* * Bosses: Trap Master * * Blood and Smokey * ******************************* Go to the area where you always find Blood and Smokey. *Story* They will say that they have a new boss, and he is someone with a red spike hair and he will tell Rue that his name is Trap Master. Trap Master will tell Rue that he was expecting some tough big guy but he will tell Rue that it doesn't matter because he is going to bash Rue. Trap Master will tell Rue that Rue is on his trap and Trap Master will take Rue at his own battle field because he usually destroys the surroundings when he fighst outside *Story* *Boss Battle - Trap Master* Challenge: Easy All you have to do here is to stand on the center and use Bubba - Hammer. He will just die. Just avoid jumping too much and stepping on blinking platforms. You can die in this battle if you want. *Story* After that Trap Master will say that Rue was nothing and he can easily kill her in a few seconds but he cannot kill Rue yet. The two, Blood and Smokey will fight Rue because Trap Master will go away. *Story* *Boss Battle - Blood and Smokey* Challenge: Easy Just use Attack 1. Just fight one of them for an extremely easy battle. *Story* Again, they will be beaten and they will run away. *Story* You will be automatically back at the town. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** If your old coin is the Bubba coin, go back to the Raging Mountain and fight any monster and get its coin and fight a Bubba and get its coin, then leave the Raging Mountain.

Go back to town. ***************** * 'Carona Town' * ***************** Go to Klaus' house. *Story* Rue will give him the Phantomite and Klaus will be amazed that Rue got it. He will take it and will say that he will make the Amulet for Prima right away. Rue will then tell Klaus that only the Tiara is left and you are going to get it from Belle and Duke but Mint will arrive telling Rue and Klaus that there is no need for that because she already got it from Belle and Duke. Rue will ask Mint how she got it but Mint would not say it. They will then put the Tiara on Prima Doll but ask what the Tiara is for. Prima will say that the Tiara is used for decision making and certain abilities, both mental and physical are on the Tiara which exceeds the current intelligence which is only a mere backup. After a couple of small talk, Mint will get mad at Prima Doll and shows him the finger. Also, after that, Prima Doll will bug Klaus to finish the amulet as soon as possible but he will suddenly stop. All of them will wonder what happened so they have to talk to Mel to find out. *Story* +++++++ + END + +++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Raging Mountain- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 7 + +++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Bond with Prima- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++ After the talk, go check out the town and if I am not mistaken you can get 2 Silver Coins and a Bronze Coin (I am not sure because I think that items in places appear at random). Go to Mel's Atelier. ******************* * 'Mel's Atelier' ********************** **************************************** * Boss: Gorotan * **************************************** Talk to Mel. *Story* Rue will say that there is something wrong with Prima Doll. Mel will say to her that it must be because of Prima Doll's energy being radiated after its long rest in the cube. She will tell Rue that there might be a way to restore Prima Doll's energy and that you need Gorotan's power, some guy that can control the power of lightning. She also will say that she is not sure whether it will work but it is worth the try and tells Rue to be careful because Gorotan does not like visitors. Mel asks Rue to just find out where Gorotan leaves from one of her assistants. *Story* Go outside the Atelier and talk to the Poppul Purrel that you helped earlier. I think it is the one near the back. *Story* He will say to Rue that he knows where Gorotan is and asks Rue if he wants to play with Gorotan now, say Yes and Rue will be in a room with a flying guy thing. *Story* Go talk to the flying thing and it will transform into a big cat. *Boss Battle - Gorotan* Challenge: Medium Avoid the star thingies that are around him and it will just go farther away from him, leaving himself unprotected from your beating. Go near him and attack him until he dies. Go back to town. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Go to Klaus' house. *Story* Rue, in a Gorotan form, will be blasting bolts to Prima Doll and Prima Doll will be charged up. He should be ok now and he only needs to get the Amulet in order to break the seal. *Story* I am not sure but iamnothing went to the tavern after this so head for the tavern and maybe something will happen. After going there, go leave the town and head for the Lakeside. ************** * 'Lakeside' * ************** In the lakeside, you will see Mint together with Elena. Go near them. *Story* Elena will tell Rue and Mint how she will feel after they get the [Relic]. She will say that she will be lonely because they will leave Carona. Mint will say to her that it doesn't matter because she will conquer the world and create a castle. Mint will also ask the two whether they want to become ministers at her kingdom. Elena will answer first and tell Mint that she wants to become the minister of house keeping. Mint will ignore Elena and then ask Rue whether he wants to become a minister after getting the [Relic]. If you chose the option about Rue saying something like being a minister would be a great idea, Mint will tell Rue that she wants Rue to become the dog walking minister, Upon hearing this Rue will say that he will change his mind and say that he just wants to stay home. But if you chose the other option which is about Rue saying something about turning down the offer, Rue will say that he will just have to stay home after getting the [Relic] and whisper to himself "... stay home (with Claire)." Anyway, after that, Mint will ask about how the amulet is doing to Elena and Elena will say that it would probably be finished after some time. Mint will say that she can't keep THEM waiting. Rue will inquire what Mint meant about THEM but Mint will say that she remembered something. It was obvious that Mint is trying to hide something so Rue will wonder just what it was about. *Story* Now that you are alone, go head back to town too. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Go to Klaus' house. *Story* Klaus will tell Rue that the Amulet is near completion and he will ask Rue to take Prima Doll to the Lakeside. *Story* Go leave the house and talk to Marcum, the fat guy that buys stuff from you and he will give you 50 G. After that, I think there is a Bronze Coin somewhere (but since item appearance, I think is at random so maybe it is not there). Interesting Stuff to Check Out (thanks to PyRo MaNiA for this one) Prima Doll is following you right, why don't you go to the Grasslands and talk to Johnny Wolf and he will follow Prima Doll, then talk to Rod, he will join the 'train' party. Now, Rue will be followed by Prima Doll, which is followed by Johnny Wolf, and Rod will be behind Johnny Wolf. You gotta see this, it looks silly. (though I haven't seen it yet) Go talk to the gate and head for the Lakeside (again!). ************** * 'Lakeside' * ************** *Story* At the Lakeside, Prima Doll will be amazed at how good it feels to be out there. He will tell that staying at the Cube did not gave him that kind of feeling. Also, Prima Doll will challenge Rue for a race towards the Lake. *Story* A good way to win the race is to block his way and run while he is at your back. You can also lose the race. *Story* Doesn't matter if you win or lose, it would be just small talk. After that, Prima Doll will say something about him, that he is just a tool that would be used to unseal the [Relic]. Rue will comfort him by saying that Prima Doll is not a tool because Prima Doll is alive. "As ling as you're alive, there's always a chance ... there's always hope." - Rue Prima Doll will realize this and will thank Rue for the words. After that, he will say that he wants to go back to town. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** After that, go to Klaus' house. *Story* Here, Klaus will say that he has finished doing the Amulet. Prima Doll will try it on and he will feel great wearing it. Now they are ready to break the seal so Klaus gets up and tries to walk but his ankle still hurts. Elena will say that her father still needs to rest but Klaus will say that he can't stop now because his dream is only a few steps away. Rue will ask Klaus to rest and that he (Rue) and Prima Doll will take a boat ride to the ruins. *Story* +++++++ + END + +++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Bond with Prima- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 8 + ++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Lake Ruins- ++ ++++++++++++++++++ In town, go to the Grasslands and talk to Rod. *Story* Rue will ask Rod about his machine that can travel fast on water. Rod will say that he has one and its name is Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega. He will tell Rue that it is powered by five Sorcerous Drivers that can make Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega move and travel fast on water. Rod will tell Rue that he needs to get Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega ready and asks Rue to call the people who are coming with him. *Story* Go leave the grasslands and go back to Klaus' house. Go talk to Klaus at the basement and say to him that you will depart for the ruins. *Story* Rue and Prima Doll together with Rod will be going to the Ruins together. Prima Doll asks you if you were going to ride that cool looking boat and Rod will say to him that it is not a boat but Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega. Prima Doll ignores it and still calls it a boat. There, you will then ride the boat to the Lake Ruins. After you see Rue, Rod and Prima Doll leave, Mint will arrive and say something that Rue thought that they can leave them, Mint together with Belle and Duke. *Story* **************** * 'Lake Ruins' * **************** *Story* At the Lake Ruins, Prima Doll tells Rue that he is ready to open the seal. While Prima Doll is reciting the words that are to be used to break the seal, Rue then speaks the latter part of the spell and he will then say that it came out naturally from him. Well anyway, Prima Doll begins to recite the spell but Princess Maya will arrive, accompanied by Doll Master and Psycho Master. Princess Maya will say that it is the East Heaven Kingdom's duty to protect the [Relic] from being unsealed for the past many years and she will say that Rue cannot be allowed to break it. Rue will say that he has a good reason for breaking it so he doesn't want to stop the spell but Princess Maya will cast a spell to Rue using the Book of Cosmos. Rue, for some reason, although he was a brought down by the spell, was latter able to conquer and resist the power of the Book of Cosmos, East Heaven's greatest [Relic]. After that, Doll Master will cast a spell that would seal Rue's powers, so Rue got sealed. Doll Master will then ask Prima Doll to open the seal but Prima Doll will petrify himself. Mint will arrive, together with Belle and Duke. Duke will use his "Fist of Fire" on Doll Master but gets psyched out by Psycho Master. Belle will help Rue with the help of Hexagon. After that, all of them (Belle, Duke, Mint and Rue) will get out of the place and Rue will promise to Prima Doll that he will save him. Princess Maya will use the Book of Cosmos to create a tower so that they can fortify the Lake Ruins. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** *Story* Upon their arrival to town, Rue will ask Mint why Belle and Duke is with her. Mint will say to Rue that Belle and Duke is waiting for her at the bar and why don't Rue join them to talk about the stuff. *Story* Before you go to the bar, why don't you go talk to Rod first at the grasslands. *Story* Rod will encourage Rue to keep going because it is just his trial phase. He has survived his trial phase already and that was when he wasn't able to create good weapons. He will say that 'his woman' kept him going. She was the one that encourages him when he is down and tells him to stop moping and create a new weapon. He will say that Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega was her only keepsake to him. Rod will clarify that she, her name is Lucine and she is not dead but he can't go see her until he marked a name in history. He will tell then to Rue that she just have to keep on going no matter what and do not give up because someone will be watching over Rue. Rue will ask himself if Claire is watching him ... *Story* After that, go to the Tavern. *Story* Belle, Duke and Mint, will invite Rue in their table and they are going to talk about something. Belle will ask Rue why he is fighting so hard and Rue will answer her that he is fighting because of Claire. He will tell the story but [you] won't hear about it. After that, Belle and Duke will say that now they understood what Rue has been going through and tell you taht Mint always tried to double-cross him. Belle will say that once Rue got the [Relic], they are going to steal them from him. Mint will defend herself and say that if it was not for her, Rue may have been dead by that time. They will say that Maya is guarding the ruins and that they have to figure out a way to get the [Relic]. *Story* I found a Bronze Coin somewhere above the town's spring. [But since, I think, items appear at random, you might not find it there]. Now that most things are clarified, it is time for a good night sleep.

If you don't like to fight him, go to the Lakeside. ************** * 'Lakeside' * ************** *Story* Here, Rue will wonder how to get the [Relic] and ... *Cut Scene* Doll Master will say to Princess Maya that he was surprised that Prima Doll was able to petrify his self so that Prima Doll can protect the [Relic] from being unsealed. Doll Master will suggest to Princess Maya that they should get the [Relic] so that they can keep it and that it would not fall into the wrong hands. Princess Maya will say that excessive power leads to destruction and that it is their duty to prevent the seal from being broken and they should never get into contact with the [Relic]. Princess Maya will leave and Doll Master will talk to Psycho Master that if Maya cannot be used to attain their goals, then they have to use Rue. *Cut Scene* *Story* You will automatically back to town. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** It would be night again. As usual, at night, go to the Grasslands and talk to Rod. *Story* Together with Rod, Duke is there and they will say that they fought a while ago and Rod won. Rod will tell both Rue and Duke that he had a hard time fighting Duke because of his star outfit because it was a very thick and sturdy armor. Rod will also tell Duke that he wants to borrow it because he will try to make a weapon out of it. "Sometimes you even gotta make a fool of yourself to come up with a weapon." - Rod After that, Duke will change the topic and tell both Rue and Rod that how come there is nothing happening at the tower but Rod will say that they just need to rest and wait for the enemies move because it can be a trap. *Story* After that, go to the inn, talk to Ms. Cartha, go to your room. *Story* As Rue is sleeping, someone is calling him. He looks outside and sees Claire and she is walking towards the alley that leads to the Tavern and Hobbs' Shop. Rue runs out of the room and out of the inn. *Story* *Interesting stuff to check out* If you go to the Grasslands take note that Rod is sleeping. I found a Silver Coin beside the Hotel [but maybe the items are found at random]. Follow her so go to the place where Hobbs' Shop and the Tavern is. You would not see Claire there so go back to the main part of town. You will see Claire go to the docks, follow her. At the docks you would not see Claire anywhere, talk to Duke, he is somewhere below. *Story* Rue asks Duke if he saw a girl in a purple cloak that is about his height. Duke says that he did not see anyone like that. *Story* Leave the docks. *Story* Rue will wonder what is going on. *Story* Go to the Grasslands and talk to Rod. *Story* Again, Rue will ask if Rod saw a girl in a purple cloak and that is about his height. Duke will say that he did not see anyone because he was busy calming the Johnny Wolf because it seems like Johnny Wolf seen a ghost or something. Rue will wonder about the word 'ghost' but he believes that it couldn't be. *Story* Leave the Grasslands. You will see Claire enter the church, as usual follow her. *Story* Rue sees Claire walking towards Psycho Master. Psycho Master lifts Claire using his psychic power or something so Rue demands from Psycho Master to bring Claire down but Psycho Master challenges Rue to fight. *Story* *Boss Battle - Psycho Master* Challenge: Easy Careful not to attack him at his front or side meaning attack him ONLY at his back. Just whack his back till he withdraws.

Kill the witch on the floating platform (p) and go get the 2 Star Stones and step on the Restore HP and leave the place using the top exit. In the next place, you have to hop on the big round thing in the middle and enemies (Pumpkins) will fall down and you just have to defeat them all until you get to the top.

Legendary Helmet First go step on (1) but if you fall you can step on the middle (x) to get back up. After stepping on one, beat up the Wabbits first because they are blocking access to the other platform (2 and 3). You have to step on (1) then (2) then (3), you can wait for (3) to stop unlike (1 and 2) because at the end of (3)s ride it will not throw you but it would wait for a few seconds. Go get the Legendary Helmet (L) and step on the Restore HP spot. Go exit the place. Just enter the door and In the next room, Claire is there. *Story* Claire will then turn into Mode Master. She will tell Rue that she envies Claire because Rue is willing to sacrifice for Claire. Rue gets mad and charges to attack Mode Master but Mode Master will change into Claire so Rue stops. Mode Master will leave and Doll Master will arrive. Doll Master is going to reveal that he is the one with the large claw and he killed Claire. Rue gets furious and challenges Doll Master. *Story* *Boss Battle - 'He'* Challenge: Impossible - N/A Just die in battle, I believe you can't win. Also if you checked out the Message Board of GameFAQs, there is an article there that says that he replayed the game with stronger characters and he fought for a long time against Doll Master but it seemed that Doll Master has infinite HP. *Story* After the battle, Doll Master will again seal Rue's power and Maya will arrive then Doll Master will tell her that they don't need her anymore so Psycho Master takes the book and lifts it up to the air. Doll Master will command Rue to tear apart the Book of Cosmos. Rue will follow and he, using his somewhat like a psychic power, tear the book apart. ******************** * 'Book of Cosmos' *** ********************** * Boss: Atenacius * ********************** Rue will wakeup somewhere and he is together with Princess Maya. Princess Maya will heal Rue's injuries and tells him that they are inside the Book of Cosmos and the Book of Cosmos is a 'Gateway to the Cosmos'. She will also tell Rue that Rue has tremendous power because he was able to destroy the book and that Doll Master can't do that. Princess Maya will ask Rue to go see Atenacius, an Aeon that sealed his spirit inside the Book of Cosmos. Princess Maya tells Rue that maybe Atenacius knows something about Rue. Atenacius will come and he looks like a face that is merged with a book. Atenacius will ask Princess Maya about how did the book get destroyed but Princess Maya will tell him that it might have something to do with the stone that is on Rue's forehead. Atenacius will get furious and says that he knows Rue, and he is Valen's servant. Atenacius says that he gets disgusted seeing Rue and on the stone. Atenacous will tell Rue that he (Rue) is evil and he is going to resurrect Valen and get the Dewprism. Atenacius will say that he must kill you so that Valen won't get resurrected because the Dewprism can bring about disaster. *Story* ___________ ___________ | | ___ | | | | ___ |_| ___ | | | | |_| ___ |_| | | | | |_| | | |_________| |_________| *Boss Battle - Atenacius* Challenge: Easy - Medium In this battle, attack the old man's beard. He will counter attack or attack you using his beard too but if you are about my level, meaning you bought the Mythril stuff, it doesn't matter. There are also 'Electric Beard Slice' [I made that up {^_^}] attack which also gives pitiful damage. He will move from one large platform to another so you have to jump using the small platforms (note that sometimes, HP or MP up items appear there). He also has something homing attack which you can't avoid. *Story* After the battle, Rue wonders what is going on. A few moments later, Atenacius come back and say that it is his world and he just can't die. He tells Rue how dare he tries to fight his sovereign power. Doll Master arrives and laughs at Atenacius because of bragging about his power, he then attack Atenacius and absorbs his power. So now, Maya's Book of Cosmos has no power. Doll Master tells Rue and Maya a story. Doll Master says that Rue and himself's fate was pre-determined when they were born. It was because when the Aeons still existed, one Aeon has the power to rival the gods, he made a [Relic] that embodies all the forces of the universe. It is the purest form of crystal, it has life, space, time, logic and will. It can control time and nature's creations, the ultimate power of the universe, the Dewprism. It defines heaven, earth, time and life, simply a microcosm of the universe, meaning having it is having the universe. Valen wanted to be a god so other Aeons where afraid of him and killed him. Valen's body died but his spirit, together with the Dewprism was transported to another dimension. Later, Aeons died except for one that sealed his spirit inside a book, which is Atenacius. So now, Doll Master says that now the enemies are defeated, Rue and himself can now do their purpose, to resurrect Valen. Valen cannot escape or can be set free from his dimension. After telling that, Atenacius arrives and say that Valen's dolls can resurrect Valen. Doll Master attacks him again and he tells Rue that Rue needs to serve his purpose. Continuing the story, Doll Master was the one that woke Rue up because they are brothers. Rue had a gem on his forehead, a fragment of the Dewprism, a life stone. Both Rue and Doll Master are to do resurrect Valen. Rue tells Doll Master that Doll Master is lying but Doll Master replies by saying that he is not, Rue just lost his memory. Rue woke up only five years ago but he was awake for a hundred years so he retained all his memory and knows everything that he has to do. The sad part is that he was a defect, his life stone is dead so he has no power. He can't fulfill his duty so he needs Rue. He called Rue three years ago but Rue gets mad and asks why Doll Master killed Claire. Doll Master replies by saying that he had no intention of killing Claire and it was just an accident. Rue says that he hates Doll Master and that he is not help. Doll Master tells Rue that it doesn't matter because with Atenacius power, he can de-petrify Prima Doll and let Prima Doll break the seal. After that, both Rue and Princess Maya awaken at the Tower. Rue says to her that he needs to go to the Ruins but Princess Maya tells him that she can't help because the Book of Cosmos is gone. *Cut Scene* Something will be floating above the skies and forms a Fortress. Doll Master will be talking to the other 'Masters', his subordinates. He will tell them that he and Psycho Master will go up to Valen's Fortress. He asks Mode Master, he will call her Kirielle, together with Trap Master to stay and prevent anyone from going up Valen's Fortress. Kirielle will say that she was proud to be with Doll Master. Doll Master tells Trap Master, but he calls him Narcius, not to die for no purpose. He will call Psycho Master, Karwyn and tells him that it is time to go. Doll Master will be called Ruecian and they will say farewell to each other. *Cut Scene* Rue tells himself that he knows that his feelings may not be real but he knows his promise is, which is to revive Claire. He will go get Dewprism, revive Claire and kill Doll Master. *Story* [That was the most detailed (although no descriptive elements for the setting) story I created for this walkthrough] +++++++ + END + +++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Claire's shadow- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ + Chapter 11 + +++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Aim for the sky- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++ ******************** * 'Town of Carona' *********************************** ****************************************************** * Item: Platinum Coin (now, or later in the game) * ****************************************************** If you fight Rod, he has a new weapon called the 'Dark Hurricane'.

Go to Mel's Atelier. ******************* * 'Mel's Atelier' * ******************* Go talk to Mel inside the Atelier. *Story* Mel tells Rue that he has the ability to fly and lets Rue think of someone who can fly. Rue thinks but cannot remember anyone so Mel tells him to go see Wylaf to get the Dragon Wings. Rue thanks Mel and now he is going to the Raging Mountains. *Stroy* Leave Mel's Atelier. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** If you want, save and go talk to the town's gate and go to the Raging Mountains. ********************** * 'Raging Mountains' *************************** ************************************************ * My Status: HP 143/143 STR 038 + 020 * * MP 131/131 DEF 016 + 020 * * Enemies: As usual * * Bosses: Trap Master * * Mode Master * ************************************************ If you forgot the Raging Mountains, just consult the Raging Mountains section of the Rue's walkthrough. Get a Bubba coin and avoid fighting the other monsters if the Witch coin is still present in your Coin Inventory. Just go to the area with steam coming out of the ground, you will meet Trap Master there. *Story* Trap Master tells Rue that he cannot go on any further and he is going to finish Rue now. *Story* *Boss Battle - Trap Master* Challenge: Easy - Medium Just stay at the center and hopefully you have the Witch coin or the Bubba coin. Transform into any of the 2, preferably the Witch and use Pumpkin Shot if not use Bubba - Hammer. If you don't have any of the two, it would be a hard battle. Avoid stepping on the blinking platforms because they will explode and deal you damage. Also, when a shadow is on top of you, move to another platform because a spiked ball will fall on top of you (but it really isn't necessary if you have Witch or Bubba). *Story* Trap Master attempts to blow himself up but he got no power left and he promised Doll Master that he would not die in vane. He tells Rue that Mode Master is up ahead. Rue advances to the next room and Trap Master apologizes to Doll Master for being a failure. *Story* On the next area, step on the HP Restore if you received damage. Advance to the next area and there will be another extra boss battle area. *Story* Rue will see Mode Master in a Claire's form. Rue gets mad and asks Mode Master to change her form because it doesn't affect him anymore. But she tells Rue to go to Doll Master and follow Doll Master because he is Rue's brother. Rue says no and that he will never forgive Doll Master because he killed Claire. After that Mode Master transforms into Rue and tells Rue to see who is better. *Story* *Boss Battle - Mode Master* Challenge: Medium She is in a Rue form and she has the same attacks as you. Just jump attack her. When she sustained a lot of damage, she will begin transforming herself into different monsters, even monsters that Rue can't transform into (like the Behemoth). Again just use jump attacks. *Story* After the battle, Mode Master, in Rue's form, asks Rue to finish her. Rue charges her but Mode Master will transform into Claire's form. Rue stops and Mode Master asks why he stopped because she thought that, as Rue said earlier, it doesn't affect Rue anymore. She runs and tells Rue that you cannot defeat Psycho Master and if you did defeat him, you cannot defeat Doll Master. She tells Rue that Rue couldn't stop them. *Story* Go to the area with the blowing wind, if you are very low on HP (below 1/4), just attack the enemies there and get the stuff that they drop. Finish the area and you will be at the Cliff area. There will be a Restore HP there and go to the peak. At the peak *Story* Rue sees Wylaf and asks him for help. Wylaf read Rue's mind and tells Rue that he needed his help in order to go to the Fortress. Wylaf gives it to Rue and Rue will be surprised that Wylaf gave it easily. Wylaf asks Rue why he looks troubled and Rue tells him that it is because Doll Master told him that his purpose was to resurrect Valen and not really to revive Claire. Rue says that Doll Master can control him. Wylaf stops Rue from underestimating his self and tells Rue that he (Wylaf) believes in Rue. He believes that Rue's strength comes from will and not from duty and he can overcome it, Rue has the capacity to choose his will, to revive Claire, over his duty, to resurrect Valen. Rue thanks Wylaf for the words. *Story* +++++++ + END + ++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Aim for the sky - ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ + Chapter 12 + ++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Soar into battle- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++ You will automatically end up in town. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Go to the Tavern. *Story* Belle and Duke is there and tells Rue that they are amazed that Rue was able to get the Dragon Wings from Wylaf. Rue tells them that he was able to do it because of Klaus, Belle and Duke and everyone's help. Belle tells him that why Rue is always so humble, very much unlike the immature one that is with her. Duke assumes and tells that Belle is talking about Mint but Belle says that it was Duke. Duke says that he might be immature but he is preparing a new act because Rue is his lifelong rival and that if he acts like Rue, he can beat Rue. Belle asks Rue if he is going to go and Rue will say that he will go for Claire. Belle and Duke will say that Rue is so selfless, willing to risk his life. After that, in a serious manner, Belle will wish Rue good luck and Duke bids him with happy hunting. Rue will thank them and that he hopes to see them again. *Story* If you have not yet destroyed the Legendary stuff yet, go beat up Pollywogs and Gudons [I suggest that you get Gudons because that is what I did] (remember to get only enough since the Legendary stuff will break after 10 meals) [Don't waste time beating Fire Blobs and Fungies because +10 HP or +10 MP is not worth it] after destroying it, the bartender will give you a Platinum Coin. After that, if you think you have missed something, go check out the section Side Stuff. If you have done all of them go to the inn and register.

Elena asks Rue to be careful. Rue then transforms into Wylaf and Mint will arrive and hops on Rue for a ride. Rue shakes her out and tells her that he has to go alone. At Valen's Fortress, Rue sees Prima Doll. Prima Doll tells Rue that Doll Master threatened him that if he did not break the seal, Doll Master will destroy the town so he broke the seal. Rue tells Prima Doll that it is not his fault and that it is Doll Master's. Rue will ask Prima Doll to wait for him and Prima Doll tells Rue that he is impressed because before, Rue was passive and hesitant but now he is very determined and strong. Rue promises to Prima Doll that he is going to beat up the bad guys and after that, Prima Doll turns back into a Cube and Rue promises that he will be back. *Story* ************* * 'Arena I' * ************* _______ | | | B | A.

It is because that the Doll Master is taking the Cursed Crossways wherein you will face the fears of your past. He also cannot allow Rue to go back and Rue has to end the battle there. Also, he will say that his destiny is to serve his master, which is Doll Master and he will release his full power before fighting Rue because Rue is the brother of his master. *Story* *Boss Battle - Psycho Master* Challenge: Medium Do not touch the invisible barrier because it will deal you damage. Note again that you can only attack him at his back. When he floats and chases you, run around the room (but avoid the invisible barrier) and around him. When he casts the blue floating things, just get hit by them, it is only cheap damage anyway. Also he casts a circular attack that moves in all directions, just jump to evade that attack. *Story* After the battle, Psycho Master charges Rue but Rue will attack him. Psycho Master dies and Rue wonders why Psycho Master did it on purpose. Rue proceeds to the Cursed Crossways. *Story* ********************** * 'Cursed Crossways' * ********************** ___________________ |1_______2_______3| | | | | | | 1.

I also believe that there is some kind of order here but sadly, I can't remember. Well anyway, the enemies here are pitiful so you can easily defeat them. Also if you are low on HP in the degree of: Ultra low - Fight at 1 or 3 Low - Fight at 3 or 7 Medium - Fight at 6 or 7 to regain health (by beating up enemies and getting the potions (the red or blue stuff that they leave behind). After beating all the rooms, the center will have a save point and (A) will become a teleporter which has a Restore HP, save and hop onto it. *Story* At the next room, Doll Master tells Rue that he was amazed at his brother for getting that far. Rue still rejects him so he doesn't want to be called Doll Master's brother. Doll Master tries to convince Rue about accepting his true purpose of resurrecting Valen and that Rue can't deny it forever because he can never escape. It was fate that reunited them. Rue tells Doll Master that he doesn't care about Valen and he only cares about reviving Claire. Rue could have accepted Doll Master if he just did not kill Claire. Again, Doll Master says that it was just an accident and that if they got the Dewprism, they can just revive Claire. Rue gets mad and says to Doll Master that he just toyed with Claire's life. Even if Doll Master bring Claire back, he still won't forgive Doll Master. He will tell Doll Master that he did not come for duty, and that his mind is set and there is no turning back, he is going to get rid of Doll Master and bring Claire back. Doll Master says that if that is what Rue thinks, then they have to settle the fight. He also tells Rue not to worry because he is not going to use the seal spell. He removes the Doll Master outfit and know he is the guy with the large claw. He tells Rue that he will kill Rue the same way he killed Claire. *Story* *Boss Battle - Doll Master * Challenge: Medium - Hard - Impossible (Doll Master can cheat) He has a lot of attacks such as the 'Claw Swipe' and for that, you just have to jump back. He has a 'White Magic Loop' which would lift you up and you will take damage and throws you aside, immediately jump because he will use another 'Claw Swipe'. He has a 'Black Projectile' attack which you can avoid by running far away from its casting point (let it chase you to the other side of the screen) but it does pitiful damage so it doesn't matter. Also, he has the 'Charge Grab' and you know if its coming because he will stand and his body would emit stars, when you see that, run to the direction where Doll Master is facing (meaning if he is facing right, run right, if he is facing left, run to the left), if you get caught, you will suffer MAJOR damage. After that attack, if you did not get hit, you can use a 3-hit combo against him. Sometimes, you can jump kick him but it is not very advisable because Doll Master, just like Rod, can block attacks. The cheat, sometimes, Doll Master cheats by using the 'White Magic Loop Infinity' [Wow, what a lousy name, I just made that up]. He uses it continually and you will just die from it [happened to me once]. *Story* After that, Doll Master desperately wants to get up but Rue says to him that the battle is over. Doll Master says to himself that he still needs to fulfill his duty and fight Rue. Rue will tell him that as long as Doll Master is tied to the duty, Doll Master can't beat him. Rue will tell Doll Master that he is unlike him because he fights not for duty. Doll Master then asks what Rue is doing. Rue answers him by telling that saving Claire is not a duty because nobody told him to do it, it was his will. Rue tells Doll Master that he doesn't care about him being created by Valen and that he just would not follow orders. Doll Master then mumbles to himself about him, sacrificing everything for Valen, everything in terms of will. He will say that he was a fool and that if only wasn't a defect, he could have never killed Claire and that could kept Rue's will dormant. He will die, Rue will remorse a little, and then he proceeds to the next room. At the next room, Valen tells Rue about Rue's loyalty. Rue asks Valen if Valen was trapped in another dimension, how come Valen is there. Valen answers Rue by telling him that when the Fortress was summoned his spirit was revived but still he doesn't have a physical body. Rue will ask Valen on how can he revive Claire and Valen tells him that he can revive Claire by using the life stone on his forehead. Since the life stone is a fragment of the Dewprism, it has the power to control it. Rue then revives Claire but when Claire's body appears, it is not moving. Then Valen enters Claire's body, he (or she [^_^]) will tell Rue that resurrecting Valen was not their only purpose, and that they should also provide a body. So now, Rue provided Valen with a body. Rue gets furious and demands that Valen leave Claire's body. Valen gets mad and tells Rue about his disrespectful attitude towards his creator. He will call Rue his slave but Rue will say that he is not a slave because he has will and then he again demands that Valen leave the body right now or else he is going to kill Valen. Valen then tells Rue that broken dolls are to be purified and that can be done by shattering them, Valen will destroy Rue's body and will. Rue cry out that Valen can never destroy his will. *Story* *Boss Battle - Valen* Challenge: Medium In this battle, Valen, in Claire's body will be floating and moving around. You can damage him (or her) if he is near you and you try to jump attack him (or her). Also, Valen summons a big creature. This big creature has three attacks. First it can spin around and damage that comes along its path. Try jumping when it is near and going to slice you. Another one is when he is jumping, the ground shakes and when you are on the ground, you will receive damage. Jump when the big guy is about to fall on the ground to avoid taking damage. Also, he can restore Valen's HP. He does this when he is like doing a stupid pose. Just run towards it and attack it. It is a good time to attack Valen if you kill this guy first (although he will summon this guy again). You can also get restore HP or MP stuff from the big guy if you run out of HP (I don't think you will run out of HP). *Story* Valen is rejected by the body so he is on a spirit form again. He tells Rue that he couldn't possess a human's body and only can possess a doll's. Valen then casts the bind spell on Rue and as Valen prepares to enter Rue's body, Doll Master arrives and unseals Rue. Now, Valen knows that the two dolls that he created is fighting against him. Doll Master will tell Rue that Rue's will can conquer anything but Valen shoots a spirit blast on Doll Master. But after doing that, Valen's spirit is breaking down and he begins to fade. Valen then tells Rue and Doll Master that he will become the light and say that he will pass through the Dewprism and Valen disappeared. Rue goes to Doll Master and finally accepts him as a brother. Doll Master, nearly dying, thanks Rue because that is the best thing that he heard in a hundred years time. But suddenly, Valen arrives, as the light. *Story* ************************************************ * My Status: HP 157/157 STR 038 + 024 * * MP 138/138 DEF 037 + 024 * ************************************************ *Boss Battle - Valen* Challenge: Easy - Medium Note that in this battle, Rue's attack 2 is already a defensive posture. Rue's defensive posture would prevent him from falling after an attack and I believe that he takes up less damage. Here, the only time you can damage him when he is a bit red and that is after storming you with a rapid fire of White star-like stuff attack. But before that, if you are low on HP, just grab the blue potions that randomly appear at the battlefield. And, when he is flying, he will attempt to grab you so just run away from it and just run to some direction when it is going to blast you with the 2 barreled rainbow colored rapid star-like stuff attack. When you are seeing an overhead view, it is preparing for the 'suck' maneuver. Here, just run down and move left or right so you can avoid the shots and avoid getting sucked in. Now, when he is hovering, he will storm you with a rapid fire of white stuff attack. When that happens, use Attack 2 so that you would receive small damage and you won't fall back. After the storm, he will be blinking red and use a jump attack on him. It will take 4 jump attacks to defeat the guy. *Story* After the battle ... will ... and .... ... will ... and the .... ... will ... but ... at the ... will be ... the ....

If you like to know, it took me 11:38 hours to finish Rue's game and that I did Rue's second (I played with Mint first). It took me a long time because I wrote maps for the Ghost Temple and wrote on paper the story. If you have finished Rue's story only: - After the credits, you will see something like End of Rue's story. You will be asked if you want to save the game which is Mint 0:00. Save your game and you will see Rue's picture has a color now. After that, you will be asked if you want to: - Play the Mint Episode - Return to the Title Screen - Return to the Save Screen do anything you want. But if you have finished Rue's and Mint's story, proceed to the section, So you've finished the game. ############################## ## ---Mint's Walkthrough--- ## ############################## ++++++++++++++++ ++ -Prologue- ++ ++++++++++++++++ *Story* Mint's story begins as she runs in a hall and opens the door and enters the dining room. Gramps will tell her that it is not yet time to eat and that she should go back to her room, but she said that she was very hungry so she tasted one of the foods. *Story* ************************************************ * 'East Heaven Kingdom - Castle - Dining Room' * ************************************************ Now that you can control Mint, press the confirm button on all the foods until you have tasted them all then press the confirm button on the chair or throne {whichever you want to call it}. *Story* After tasting, she then sits on the King's chair or throne, then Gramps will tell her not to sit there but Mint says that since she will be queen anyway, it is ok, but her younger sister arrives, namely Maya. The Doll Master accompanies Maya {the weird looking guy}. Maya and tells Mint that she is not worthy to be the successor of the throne and it is already decided by the High Council where in the King also approved that the successor wouldn't be Mint even if she was the eldest in the family. Mint asks why that decision was made but Maya said many reasons such as she is childish, selfish, lazy and the list goes on. Mint gets angry, shows Maya the 'finger' and charges her magic to attack her sister with but Maya was holding the 'Book of Cosmos' the greatest Aeon [Relic] which is a powerful magic caster so Mint doesn't have a chance against her. Mint asks if Maya was just joking but Maya was serious and attacks her using a pumpkin [Mint hates pumpkins]. The pumpkin chases Mint out of the room. *Story* +++++++ + END + ++++++++++++++++ ++ -Prologue- ++ ++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 1 + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -World domination, baby- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ********** * 'Ship' * ********** {You will see Rue, just passing by the ship's deck} *Story* It was already been two years but still there are many things going on in Mint's mind. About her getting the [Relic] and beat Maya up, succeed in the throne and dominate the world. She also thinks about making Maya her slave, let Maya clean the toilet and stuff. There are also two hoodlums, Smokey {small fat guy} and Blood {tall guy}. They thought about stealing your money but they didn't do it. Then the ship bumps a red thing, you will fall down the ship and get rescued by Davis, the one who manages the docks. *Story* ****************** *'Carona - Docks'* ****************** Now, you go and climb the land elevation *Story* The two hoodlums will push you and you will fall down. Mint gets angry and wanted to beat up those two and Mint heard that they are going to the forest {Carona Forest} so Mint decided to go there too. *Story* Now go back up and you will be in town. ******************* * 'Town of Carona' ********* **************************** * Items: 2x Silver Coins * **************************** Town of Carona __________ | _ 1 _ | 1.

Enter the 'Inn' go to the counter and press confirm button at the log book (that is what it looks like for me), select register. (See Saving in 'You need to know these stuff' section. You can choose to go to the church. Talk to Doyle (the person in there), say that you like to pray, then he will ask you if you like to make a donation but since you only have 100 G so don't bother. There is nothing to do at the Hotel. Elena's House is locked. The store doesn't sell anything yet but the storekeeper will tell you about the antique shop. He will say that the antique shop is in another side of town and the shop's keeper Klaus is out together with his wife Mira to research about the [Relic] in the forest. He also will say that the antique shop is being run by Klaus' daughter, Elena [because Klaus is not there] but she isn't there because she has gone to the forest to go looking for her parents. You can talk to the people there and they will say some interesting things so try talking to them (specially to Marco).

Milk restores 10% of your MP and the Root beer restores your MP 25% (so choose the 'Root beer'). There is also a sign beside the Tavern's door (leads you to the outside of the Tavern). There will be a fight at Grass Fields, the fighting fee is 100 G and the winners prize is 1000 G. Leave the tavern.

You will be fighting against the Pollywog, (see Fighting, and Increasing Parameters in 'You need to know these stuff' section) they are EASY, just whack them. The game will say that when you attack an enemy, your will gain MP. Also the enemies drop potions. The Blue Potion restores some of your HP and the Red Potion restores some of your MP. The restoration of your HP when picking up the blue potions or restoration of your MP by picking up red potions or attacking enemies physically depends on how strong the enemy is [If the enemy is pitiful, you will gain 1 or when it is strong, you will gain 2 or more]. The enemies keep coming back so after beating enough (two of them I think) advance to the place where you need to use magic to defeat the enemies (see Magic, 'You need to know these stuff' section). One hit will kill them, now cross the water (shallow water), take the 3x Bronze Coins in the treasure box (or whirling pink thingie) [would you mind if I call it box or chest or something and not whirling pink thingie].

The Mandola attacks in long range, and can be killed within 3 hits. Before you leave the area, make your you have at least 30 HP and 50 MP, you'll need it, trust me. _________________ | | 1 | | | |___h___| | 1. Nothing - just a skull or something. | | | | h.

They are going to steal money from her. Mint thinks of this situation as she becoming a hero and settling the score with those two for knocking her down at the docks so she decided to beat the two up. First, Mint kicks Blood on the face, then again. Then Mint calls them dumb so Blood gets mad and attacks you. *Story* Here is your first *BOSS* battle against Blood and Smokey. *Boss Battle- Smokey & Blood* Challenge: Easy What you do here is run until only one is at your back [try to trap one using obstacles]. When he is alone, Set Magic to White - Vulcan. Blast him until about 18 - 25 hits and the fight is over. *Story* Elena thanks Mint and Mint says that it is alright. Mint asks her what is she doing in the forest and Elena says that she is looking for her parents. Mint asks what her parents and Elena replies by saying that her parents are researching about the [Relic]. Elena asks Mint to accompany her in finding her parents, Mint agrees because she knew that this is an opportunity to find out more about the [Relic]. *Story* ____________ _/ ______ \ / / | \\ | _______ 1.

You will meet Rue here for the first time. *Story* Klaus, Elena's father already know what Mint is about to ask because someone has asked him earlier, it was Rue (Mint thought that Rue was some kind of weirdo ^_^). He will tell you about the [Relics]. Since he has spent his life searching for ruins, he found out certain things. Klaus says that 100 years ago there was a magician that was also searching for the [Relics]. The magician lived in an Atelier (a magician's workshop) which has a key to somewhere that could probably lead to the [Relic] but the problem is that it is below the steep cliff and Rue and Klaus tried going down but they both broke their ankles. What Mint is supposed to do is to go down the cliff and get hold of the investigations and findings that the magician knows. Without much hesitation, Mint crazily jumped down the cliff. *Story* (I am planning for a 3D look at this map but it is so hard) ____ |21| |4322|__ |5666666|_ _____|66| - Sorry about this it was hard. |8777776| - Just follow the numbers, then the letters. ___|9+++++7| - 123456789abcdefghij |bba||||||&| |bb|||||||&| ||ccdde|||&| |gffeee| |7| & It means that it is both 6 & 7.

Klaus enters the Atelier and examines the vault. He opens it using a the switch on the vault. The vault will open and reveals a diary and a key. Klaus tries to read the diary and it tells about the [Relic] which was created by the Aeons. Aeons are the powerful magicians that can change the stars orbit or move landscapes but mysteriously all of them perished. Now you should be heading back to town. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' ****************** ************************************* * Items: Magic Color [Red Magic] * ************************************* *Story* Mira, Klaus wife is talking to Ms. Cartha, the innkeeper. She asks Ms. Cartha to let Mint stay at the inn for free so now you can recover HP at the inn. Mira tells Mint to proceed to their house (Klaus house). *Story* I suggest that you go to the inn first to save. Go inside the inn, talk to Ms. Cartha and she will ask you to Recover / Recover & Register / Go to your room. Choose Recover & Register then save your game [sadly, the inn only restores your HP]. After that, if you like, check out your room. Nothing really important, just talk to the bed and sleep [it doesn't replenish your MP either :(]. Leave the place and go check out Hobbs' place. Even though you can't buy anything here yet, just make a trip their to find out more stuff about the game. In Hobbs' place, you can choose to [upgrade] your base strength, base defense, maximum HP and maximum MP. Your base strength will increase by 1 and the same goes for the base defense. Your maximum HP and maximum MP will increase by 10. It costs 30,000 G for each one (base strength or base defense or maximum HP or maximum MP). It is ultra-mega-hyper [ok, you probably understand already] expensive but if you give the Rare Wine to him later in the game, you can buy one for 5,000 G. Now you can go to the tavern and replenish your MP (but I suggest not to). Talk to the bartender and he will offer you Milk for 50 G (restores 10% MP), Rootbeer 120 G (restores 25% MP) and Tropical Delight 220 G (restores 50% MP). Leave the tavern. Now to got to the shop. At the item shop, talk to the shopkeeper, his name is Tonio. First sell your coins (monster coins not the Bronze or Silver Coins). Check out what he is selling. At this point, he is selling Item Shop Item Description Cost Bronze Bracer - Bonus Strength +4 - 1,000 G Silver Bracer - Bonus Strength +8 - 3,000 G Bronze Belt - Bonus Defense +4 - 1,000 G Silver Belt - Bonus Defense +8 - 3,000 G If you have 3,000 G, go buy the Silver Bracer. After that leave the shop. Now if you have confidence in yourself, try going to the Grasslands. Here try fighting Rod. *Story* Here, Rod introduces himself and his dog Johnny Wolf. He says that he is a weapon blacksmith and a swordsman. Mint asks if she can see the weapons but Rod said that he only shows his weapon in battle. Mint asks Rod for battle but Rod refuses because he turns Mint down. Mint says to Rod that she will leave so she turns around but she kicked Rod. Rod finds out that you are good so he decides to fight you for 100 G (you will win 1,000 G if you beat him). Also, Mint hates being called 'baby' so she tells Rod her name. Pay the 100 G and do battle. *Story* *Boss Battle - Rod* Challenge: Hard Approach him with caution. Do not go near him when he is spiraling either the ground or jumping one. Try leading him to the obstacle (in the middle). He will stop spiraling so now run and attack him using a 3-hit combo, then evade his attack by jumping back twice. After that attack again using a 3-hit then evade his attack by jumping back again twice. Then run around until he does again the spiraling move (either the jumping one or ground one). Repeat the above steps again till you win. If you win against him, you will get 1,000 G but if you lose then you wasted your money. So after that, go back to town and go to Klaus' House. Go to the basement and talk to Klaus. *Story* He will tell you that according to the diary Mint found at the Atelier below the cliff, an Aeon [Relic] is sealed by a high order of magic, which even the magicians cannot break. And according to the diary, the magician will go to the Atelier of the Master Magician Elroy. Now you are instructed to go to Elroy's Atelier and get more info about the [Relic]. He also gives Mint something that he found at the Atelier, the Red class of Magic.

Mint calls her an OLD hag [:P] and she gets enraged but Duke tells her that she was only 30, for revealing her age, she whacks Duke (he became unconscious). After that she will attack Mint. *Story* *Boss Battle - Belle* Challenge: Easy Just beat her like silly. But , if you want a flawless victory, avoid her when there are things that are circling around her until she throws them to you (avoid those too!). *Story* Mint is sure that it was a victory but it is not, she took the Tiara from you. [After all that hard work [sniff] you [sniff] ... [sniff] ... you stole it [sniff] ... from ... [sniff] me. [;_;]]. Mint gets mad and she demands it back but Duke and Belle run away. Then Mint goes after them. *Story* Back to the past room, it would seem like another boss battle with Skull Beast but now, it is invincible and it is stronger. Try whacking it once and get the hell out. Go to the left and step on the platform with the star icon. Now, run like hell to the top by taking the inner belt (the one closer to the center) and try avoiding the spiked iron balls by passing when you can get a good clearing (it is quite alright to take a hit or two). *Story* It is a dead end, and the Skull Beast is close, Rue will kill the Skull Beast and save the day [and your butt from being booted]. You will end up in town. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Go to Klaus' House. *Story* In the basement, he will tell you that he now knows where the relic was and it is inside the Lake Ruins. Also he will tell you that the Cube is somewhat like a key needed to enter the ruins in the lake. Mint immediately says that since they have the key and know where the relic is, why don't they go now. But sadly, Klaus says that he doesn't know how to use it so you cannot open the ruins. He will then tell you that he knows someone that may know how to use the Cube so maybe you should ask Mel a magician and is living at her Atelier, but he doesn't want to go there so it is up to you to go there because of some reason. *Story* +++++++ + END + ++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Underground trap- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 3 + ++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Fancy Mel - ++ ++++++++++++++++++ Now you can access Mel's Atelier and the Lakeside.

HELLOOOOOO!) of Mel's Atelier. *Story* Mint will notice that the place was very unusual. She also now knew why Klaus did not want to go to this place. She knocks at the door and she notices a stupid sound after that, a dwarf-like creature appears and tells you that Mel is not home and you should play the games while waiting. *Story* [Ok, I don't want to play, can I just stand outside and wait for an hour or something. [No you can't, you have to play the DAMN game] ;_;]. Go save first because you *may* reset and bash your CD because of this ultra-annoying mini-games [especially the Big Swings and Giant Balls]. Go play the easiest first, Blow Trumpet. Talk to the Poppul Purrels outside until you find the one that asks you to play Blow Trumpet. [Sorry no maps for the mini-games. I was so annoyed that I can't do it.] The games here are timed, and if you hurry, you can get more time at the bonus game. In the bonus game, if you reached or gone above the high score which is 500 points, you can get a Silver Coin, but if not, you can get a Bronze Coin. Here, wait for the waves or hurry up to avoid it. The enemy here called the cockadoo is annoying. Go blast it with anything you have, just kill the damn thing. On the seesaw, it may seem like impossible to reach, but it is possible. Another seesaw is like something I do not know what to call it [anybody knows?], first jump at the left side of it, then at the right side, then again at the left side, and again at the right side and do the following until you are confident enough to jump to the other side. A little walk after that and you will be at the bonus game. In the bonus game, you have to step on the trumpets to keep the cockadoo away. If you blast many cockadoos at a time, you can get more points. If the cockadoo lands on your head you lose. After this, go save and go to the Big Swings. Here, be careful in jumping because the enemies here, called the Imp has an attack that throws stars at you, try to be patient enough so that you don't get hit by it. Also, careful in the swings too. It is very easy to slip by a few centimeters and you will fall. At the bonus game, you have to get the balls to earn points. Do not get the black balls. If you get balls of the same color in consecutive order, you can get bonus points. After that, save and now is the time that you go to the hardest one (for me), the Giant Balls. Careful in jumping again because of the Imps. In jumping from a Giant Ball, make sure you don't jump late because you will fall off. There are also cubes near the end where you can step on. It will fall so jump to the next place as soon as possible. The bonus game here requires you to beat up the fungies. Strategy, avoid fungi build up, go all out, whack 'em all. After this, the cockadoo save point will be gone. If you try to knock again at the door. *Story* Mel arrives and Mint will notice that she looks like a frea ... looks different, but Mel knows that Mint was trying to say that she was a freak. Mint will be invited into the house and Mint will ask her about the Cube. Mel will discourage Mint into getting the [relic] because it is very dangerous and Mint is a low class magician. She says that many people tried to get the [relic] but they died. She tells Mint that she is not just searching for an ordinary [relic] but she is searching for Valen's [Relic], Valen is the most powerful Aeon. But since Mint is very determined, Mel will help you if you find the missing Poppul Purrel. There was supposed to be 4 of them but she asked one to go shop in town but it did not come home ever since. If you help her, she will help you. *Story* Now go back to town [what a relief!]. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** If you like, go to the Lakeside. ************** * 'Lakeside' * ************** ___________ | | | R | R.

Mint will kick Smokey twice so the hoodlums focuses their attention to Mint. *Story* *Boss Battle - Blood and Smokey* Challenge: Easy Use Rapid Shot to kill any one of them. *Story* The hoodlums will run away and the Poppul Purrel will thank Mint. Mint will say that a beautiful princess named Mint helped him and to tell that to Mel. Mint wanted to escort the Poppul Purrel but he said that he would be fine going alone. Now, it would be late so Mint will head back to town. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Before going to your room at the inn and sleeping, go to the Grasslands area and talk to Rod. *Story* Here, Rod will tell Mint something about his past. He will tell Mint the reason why he is, both swordsman and weapon smith. He then tells Mint about his father, Pleskin being the greatest swordsman in the world. Rod wanted to challenge his father for the title but he did not have the chance to do so because his father died already. So now, he seeks to become, just like his father, to be written down in history and excel as being the greatest swordsman and weapon smith. *Story* Now that you have done that, go back to the inn, proceed to your room talk to Ms. Cartha and say 'Go to your room') and sleep (examine your bed). +++++++ + END + +++++++++++++++++ ++ -Fancy Mel- ++ +++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 4 + ++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Starlight Duke- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++ Go to Mel's Atelier. ******************* * 'Mel's Atelier' * ************************************************ * My Status: HP 122/122 STR 028 + 008 * * MP 124/124 DEF 016 + 008 * ************************************************ After that, go leave the town and go to Mel's Atelier.

Mel said that all you need to know is in the report so she hands Mint Mel's Report and the Cube. After handing those to Mint, Mel will tell her interesting stuff. Mel will say that the East Heaven Kingdom [this is where Mint came from], is a kingdom which the citizens are excellent magicians. Also, the eldest princess ran away and rumor was nobody misses her [;_;] and that was because she was violent, indulged in luxury and a pain in the neck. Mint understood that Mel was saying those things to her because she knows that Mel is pointing her out. So Mint tells her story of world conquest to Mel. *Story* After that, leave the Atelier and you will meet Rue and Elena outside. *Story* Elena wanted to tell Mint some big secret about Rue, but Rue doesn't want to talk about it so she would not tell Mint. Elena will say that she was just accompanying Rue to Mel's Atelier and would join you in leaving. Mint wanted to squeeze the secret from Elena but Elena would see something moving somewhere, it is Duke, in a star costume. Duke will tell Mint that he came to take away the cube and Mel's report but Mint will say no so... *Story* *Boss Battle - Duke* Challenge: Easy - Medium To damage him, you have to kick him until he lies flat or let him tire by making him jump high or after him spinning. If he is lying flat, use White - Spread. If he is spinning, just jump out of the way. He has a final move which he executes when you drained his life to 0, it will take out 20 damage from you. Also, you can lose at this battle for something funny (according to grady, thanks grady!) *Story* You will see a cut scene with Doll Master talking to Psycho Master. Psycho Master will tell Doll Master about there is someone who is searching for the [Relic] and it is Mint. Doll will say that they must keep it a secret from Princess Maya. Psycho Master will also say that he prepared someone to watch what Mint is doing, and that guy will arrive to Carona tomorrow morning. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Back in town go to Klaus house and go talk to Klaus. *Story* Mint will give Klaus the report and the cube. Klaus says that the Cube can be opened so they opened it and something came out of it, something which is not human but a mechanical doll. It was written on the report that Grand Master Magician Elroy created the doll and the doll's name is Prima Doll and it is the one that can break the seal to Valen's Relic. But since Prima Doll is still incomplete, Mint can't break the seal now. Mint needs to get the parts for Prima Doll which is kept in the Ateliers of the apprentices of Elroy. A pair of gauntlets, a pair of sollerets are kept in the Ghost Temple while the Earrings is at the Atelier in Gamul Forest and the final item, the Amulet can be created from a Phantomite. Rue will say that he will go to the Ghost Temple and get the 2 pairs of items while Mint will go to the Gamul Forest to get the earrings. Mint would not agree because she wanted to keep the [Relic] just for herself but Rue will say that he only need it once and he will leave it up to Mint and Klaus what to do about it later. *Story* Ginema is the magician that stays at Gamul Forest and Klaus will be doing research about the amulet and the phantomite. +++++++ + END + ++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Starlight Duke- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 5 + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Upstream adventure- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** After that, go check out the new stuff at the shop.

After thinking of that, Belle arrives and wants to fight you with her toy, Hexagon. *Story* *Boss Battle - Belle with Hexagon* Challenge: Medium Here just run around and avoid the hands of hexagon (by jumping aside) if it tries to grab you. Just try to kick Belle until the floor rise and jump up the risen floor and from there, kick Belle (about 5 kick attacks). Since Belle is down, Mint will take 'steal' something from Belle, [Green Magic]. Now that you have the [Green Magic], which has a wind element, use it (Green - Wave) on the wind device (w) until it turns fast and a lift will come down.

Final Area __________________________________ _______________________________|c|--------f c. Cart f. Fall Just run and you will meet Belle *Story* When Belle sees Mint, Belle will want to fight Mint. Mint does not want to fight because there are too many Gamulians. Both of them will then escape and ride the cart but the rail is destroyed so they will fall. After falling, Belle was determined to finish the fight but Mint's leg was hurt during the fall. Belle will then cast magic onto Mint and Mint was afraid because she thought that it was an attack, but Belle cured Mint's leg. Belle would say to her that she cured her because she doesn't want to hear Mint crying. They will both agree to leave the place together but the Cloud Whale arrives and devours Belle. Mint remembered something about the earrings that are hidden inside the guardian's body who appears to be the whale. Mint decided to get the earrings by fighting the whale. *Story* *Boss Battle - Cloud Whale* Challenge: Medium To damage it, you can use White - Vulcan when its mouth opens (the blue- green part) but in this way, it will take you in its mouth and spit you out (but it is all right). If it creates a tidal wave, jump to avoid the water rushing from the source, to the raft, and to where you are standing. You can also attack the red part when it is charging for a water-spray attack. *Story* Mint will get the earrings and Belle will be thrown out from the whale's mouth but she has fainted so Mint will leave her alone and most likely proceed to where Rod is waiting. A cut scene, at the hotel, you will see Belle arrive and she smells. Duke will say that he was beaten by Rue and likewise Belle was beaten by Mint. After that, Solin knocks at the door and asks them when they are going to pay their bill. Since they do not have any money (but they would not say it to Solin) so they will say that they will pay it later. Now, they will talk to each other and are now determined to get the [relic] and gain money. In the grasslands, after arriving to town from the trip, Rod will ask Mint to thank Mira for the food. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Exit the grasslands. *Story* Mint will see a red haired guy and she calls him a spike-haired weirdo. The man, named Trap Master overhears this and wants to fight you but he can't so he left a surprise to Mint in Klaus House, and he will leave. Mint thought that the surprise is that something horrible happened to Klaus or his family so she rushes to the house and was greeted by Elena. Mint will then get the surprise because two pumpkins would fall onto her head. *Story* *Interesting stuff to check out* You can push the pumpkins. Move 'em around the house. Go down the basement. *Story* Mint will give the earrings to Prima Doll and you will see Rue give the gauntlets and sollerets. So now you will have to get the Phantomite. Klaus will say that the Phantomite is a mineral and somebody named Wylaf who lives in the Raging Mountain is a collector of rare gems and minerals, because of this Mint decides that she is the one who wants to go to the Raging Mountains. Klaus will tell you to be careful because Wylaf is a powerful but stubborn dragon. History recorded that Wylaf defeated a whole army that attacked him led by King Dorian. Wylaf was said to have the power to summon the flames from the ground. *Story* +++++++ + END + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Upstream adventure- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 6 + +++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Dragon battle- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++ Go sell your monster coins and buy Platinum stuff at Tonio's Shop.

At the next place, you will see it is blocked by a boulder (b) that you can't destroy so just jump down and fight the Bubba there and jump to get the Magic Color [Black Magic] (X) and use the ability Black - Bomb to destroy the boulder at your right.

Jump the pits only when the wind is not blowing or else you will fall or fall back (the Bubba is a major blockage on the way so take it out, even if you fall, it does not matter). Just head for the exit. *EXTRA PLACE FOR BOSS BATTLE* _____ _____________ _____ |___| |___________| |___| *EXTRA PLACE FOR BOSS BATTLE* Here you will see Belle and Duke. *Story* The two are waiting for Mint and they demand from Mint the stuff. Mint will annoy Belle by calling her an old bag so she will call Hexagon and you will fight her and Duke together. *Story* *Boss Battle - Belle with Hexagon and Duke* Challenge: Medium First go beat the hell out of Duke, he is so annoying, constantly doing uppercuts to you. After he is done, concentrate on Belle and Hexagon. You need to jump kick her. Try doing that at Hexagon's back or after Hexagon has finished doing his grab attack (move / jump away). After beating Belle out, she will jump down and fight you face to face. Same strategy as before, just attack her normally but avoid her while she has the swirling white stuff around her until she throws it. Also jump if she casts the fire attack. They will leave after the battle and you will automatically go to the next area. |=| | | | |_______ |______ | __________| | | _________| | | ____ | |_________| | | |p|_____ ___| |------ |__ ___ ___ _____ p.

Go Home Plant (will only be accessible after going | g | through this place.) | | |_____________| At the mountaintop... *Story* Mint will call for Wylaf. The dragon Wylaf will then arrive and say something about a human dares to disturb him. Mint will ask for a Phantomite but he doesn't like to give it because he will read Mint's mind and knows that you just want the relic for world conquest. He will also sense a great spirit because Mint will say that if anyone tries to destroy the world she will beat them up because she is going to rule it, so he might reconsider. But he will say that spirit alone is not enough to tame the Aeon's powers so he will test Mint if she has power. *Story* *Boss Battle - Wylaf* Challenge: Medium To damage him, you can use Blue - Icicle WHILE he swoops down at you (it will eventually hit him and would cause him to go back up). If you are low on MP, try attacking WHILE he again swoops down. He has other attacks that are quite easy to avoid. Like if he breathes fire to the ground, just avoid the ground and a + radius. The fire will remain there so avoid that too. If he rapidly swoops down at you, just try to jump to other directions to avoid. When his HP is below half, he will withdraw from the battle. *Story* He will say that he has underestimated Mint. Mint then says that Wylaf needs to rest, he will treat it as mockery. But as he promised, he will give Mint the Phantomite and he will trust Mint that she would not bring end to the world. Mint will ask Wylaf if he would like to work for her when she rules the world but Wylaf will say that he will think about it. *Cut Scene* You will see Rue talking with Belle and Duke. They will say something that Rue is carrying such a heavy load from his past so they decided to help him out just for the moral duty. Rue will say that he does not need money and only needs to use the [Relic] once and after that Belle and Duke can keep it. After that, they will agree to work together. *Cut Scene* Mint will be automatically back in town will be called by Blood, as always, together with Smokey (or the other way around). They will challenge Mint for a battle at the forest. They will leave a note telling you that. *Story* You will be automatically back to town. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Why don't you go and save your game at the inn and go to Carona Forest. ******************* * 'Carona Forest' ***************** *********************************** * Items: Magic Effect (Circle) * * Bosses: Trap Master * * Blood and Smokey * *********************************** Go to the area where you always find Blood and Smokey. *Story* They will say that they have a new boss, he is the one with the red hair, he will say that his name is the 'Trap Master'. Mint will call him porcupine head and he will get mad and say that Mint is on his trap. Mint will then be on Trap Masters own battlefield because he usually destroys the outside place when he fights. Both of them (Mint and Trap Master) will then engage the battle. *Story* *Boss Battle - Trap Master* Challenge: Easy All you have to do here is to stand on the center and cast White - Vulcan. He will just die. Just avoid jumping too much and stepping on blinking platforms. You can die in this battle if you want. *Story* After that Trap Master will say that Mint was nothing and he can easily kill her in a few seconds but he cannot kill Mint yet. The two, Blood and Smokey will fight Mint because Trap Master will go away. *Story* *Boss Battle - Blood and Smokey* Challenge: Easy You can either use White - Vulcan or just attack them till they lose. It doesn't matter. *Story* Again, they will be beaten and they will run away. You will feel somewhat good about it. *Story* After that, head for the cliffs area. ____ |21| |4322|___ |56666666| -------\6\ |xx| |_P| |6|_ __|66| p.

From the (&), the one beside where you are now, try to jump to the place where (P) is [it will require many tries for you to get it because it is so hard], you can get Magic Effect [Circle] from it. You need this thing even if it is so frustrating to get. After getting that, go to the place outside Cadmon's Atelier and go back to town using the Go Home Plant there. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Go to Klaus' house. *Story* Mint will give him the Phantomite and he will be amazed that Mint got it. He will take it and will say that he will make the Amulet for Prima right away. Mint will then tell Klaus that only the Tiara is left and you are going to get it from Belle and Duke but Rue will arrive telling Mint and Klaus that there is no need for that because he already got it from Belle and Duke at the hotel. Mint could not believe that he just got the Tiara easily so she will ask Rue how he got it but for some reason, Rue would not tell it. They will then put the Tiara on Prima Doll but ask what the Tiara is for. Prima will say that the Tiara is used for decision making and certain abilities, both mental and physical are on the Tiara which exceeds the current intelligence which is only a mere backup. After a couple of small talk, Mint will get mad at Prima Doll and shows him the finger. Also, after that, Prima Doll will bug Klaus to finish the amulet as soon as possible but he will suddenly stop. All of them will wonder what happened so they have to talk to Mel to find out. *Story* +++++++ + END + +++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Dragon Battle- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 7 + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Together with Prima- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After the talk, go check out the town and if I am not mistaken you can get 2 Silver Coins and a Bronze Coin (I am not sure because I think that items in places appear at random). Go to Mel's Atelier. ******************* * 'Mel's Atelier' ********************** **************************************** * Items: Magic Color [Yellow Magic] * * Boss: Gorotan * **************************************** Talk to Mel. *Story* By the time Mint arrives, Mel will ask her if she has given up the search for Valen's [Relic] and she will say no. It is because that Mint's father said that she should never quit once she started something. After that, Mint will say that there is something wrong with Prima Doll. Mel will say to her that it must be because of Prima Doll's energy being radiated after its long rest in the cube. She will tell Mint that there might be a way to restore Prima Doll's energy and that you need Gorotan's power, some guy that can control the power of lightning. She also will say that she is not sure whether it will work but it is worth the try and tells Mint to be careful because Gorotan does not like visitors. Mel asks Mint to just find out where Gorotan leaves from one of her assistants. *Story* Go outside the Atelier and talk to the Poppul Purrel that you helped earlier. I think it is the one near the back. *Story* He will say to Mint that he knows where Gorotan is and asks Mint if she wants to play with Gorotan now, say Yes and Mint will be in a room with a flying guy thing. *Story* Go talk to the flying thing and it will transform into a big cat. *Boss Battle - Gorotan* Challenge: Medium Avoid the star thingies that are around him and it will just go farther away from him, leaving himself unprotected from your beating. Go near him and cast Red - Napalm or just attack him to conserve MP, them immediately jump/run aside to avoid the lightning bolt. After the battle, you will get from him [Yellow Magic]. Go back to town. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Go to Klaus' house. *Story* Mint will be blasting bolts to Prima Doll and Prima Doll will be charged up. He should be ok now and he only needs to get the Amulet in order to break the seal. *Story* I am not sure but iamnothing went to the tavern after this so head for the tavern and maybe something will happen. After going there, go leave the town and head for the Lakeside. ************** * 'Lakeside' * ************** In the lakeside, you will see Rue together with Elena. *Story* Elena will say something about after both Rue and Mint gets the [Relic] she will become lonely because they will leave town. Elena will then ask Mint what is she going to do after getting the [Relic] and Mint will reply to her and say that she plans to take over the world with it. Now, Mint will ask Rue what is he going to do after the it is over, and you will guess that it is either Rue will stay in Carona or go back to his home town. If you choose the option to 'Go back to his homeland', Rue will say that there would be someone waiting for him back home. Mint will inquire who that person is but Rue will say that it was someone that is 'like' a sister to him, but still she is not yet at home. If you say that he will 'Stay in Carona' Mint will tease Rue. After that, Rue will ask Elena how long is it going to take to finish the Amulet but Elena will say that it will be finished soon. Rue will leave, together with Elena to go back to town. *Story* Now that you are alone, go head back to town too. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Go to Klaus' house. *Story* Klaus will tell Mint that the Amulet is near completion and he will ask Mint to take Prima Doll to the Lakeside. Mint does not want to but Prima Doll will bug her so she will take Prima Doll to the Lakeside. *Story* Go leave the house and talk to Marcum, the fat guy that buys stuff from you and he will give you 50 G. After that, I think there is a Bronze Coin somewhere (but since item appearance, I think is at random so maybe it is not there). Interesting Stuff to Check Out (thanks to PyRo MaNiA for this one) Prima Doll is following you right, why don't you go to the Grasslands and talk to Johnny Wolf and he will follow Prima Doll, then talk to Rod, he will join the 'train' party. Now, Mint will be followed by Prima Doll, which is followed by Johnny Wolf, and Rod will be behind Johnny Wolf. You gotta see this, it looks silly. (though I haven't seen it yet) Also, according to grady, at the Grasslands there is a coin (see map below) _________=_ | | | | |___| | | | | | | | |________X| After that, go examine the gate and head for the Lakeside (again!). ************** * 'Lakeside' * ************** *Story* Prima Doll will feel something good and Mint will tell him that it is because it is his first time to experience the sunlight [or something like that]. He will challenge Mint for a race to the shore. Mint is confident that she is not going to lose from a doll. *Story* A good way to win the race is to block his way and run while he is at your back. You can also lose the race. *Story* Doesn't matter if you win or lose, it would be just small talk. After that, Prima Doll will say something about him, that he is just a tool that would be used to unseal the [Relic]. Mint will comfort him by saying that he is not a tool because for one reason he is crying and that he has feelings [^_^]. Prima Doll will realize this and will thank Mint for the words. After that, he will say that he wants to go back to town. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** After that, go to Klaus' house. *Story* Here, Klaus will say that he has finished doing the Amulet. Prima Doll will try it on and he will feel great wearing it. Now they are ready to break the seal so Klaus gets up and tries to walk but his ankle still hurts. Elena will say that her father still needs to rest but Klaus will say that he can't stop now because his dream is only a few steps away. Mint will say that he should not worry because they have to prepare a boat first in order to get to the ruins. Mint will say in her mind that now, she can keep the [Relic] for herself. *Story* +++++++ + END + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Together with Prima- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 8 + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Relic, here I come- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ In town, go to the Grasslands and talk to Rod. *Story* Mint will ask Rod to get his Pinto ready because she needs it. Rod will ged mad and tells you why do you always call Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega, Pinto, and if Mint is stupid or anything and he will ask you what is the name of his baby. Just choose Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega (though I don't know what will happen if you choose the other options). If you chose that, he will tell Mint that she has a brain after all but then again, Mint will call it Pinto. So now, Rod does not want to give you a ride but Mint will hear Rod's stomach grumble. Mint will say to him that if that is his stomach and Rod will say yes and that is because he does not get challenges lately and he can't even afford a meal. Mint will then say that if Rod remembers what Mira cooked for them when they first go to the Gamul Forest and tells him that she can ask Mira again to cook that for them. Rod will get delighted and say that he will get Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega and you go ask Mira to cook for him. *Story* Go leave the grasslands and go back to Klaus' house. No need to tell Mira about the food so just go talk to Klaus at the basement and say to him that you will depart for the ruins. *Story* Mint and Prima Doll together with Rod will be going to the Ruins together. Prima Doll asks you if you were going to ride that cool looking boat and Rod will say to him that it is not a boat but Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega. Prima Doll ignores it and still calls it a boat but he will hear from Mint calling it Pinto and begins calling it Pinto too. There, you will then ride the boat to the Lake Ruins. **************** * 'Lake Ruins' * **************** *Story* At the Lake Ruins, Prima will go and unlock the seal but Mint keeps disturbing him. At the second try, Maya will teleport there together with Doll Master and Psycho Master. Maya will tell you that how could you have forgotten East Heaven's duty that is to protect Valen's [Relic] from being unsealed at all cost. After hearing this, Doll Master will grab Prima Doll as with Mint is attacked by pumpkins summoned by Maya. Rue then arrives but Psycho Master would be blocking him but Rod will also arrive and he will punch Psycho Master. Rod will then take Prima Doll to safety. Rue will say that he will be coming back (and at this point, he knows that Mint is truly a princess) to save Mint because Mint is pinned on the ground by the pumpkin. Maya will then fortify the Ruins with the help of the Book of Cosmos. ****************** * 'Maya's Tower' * ****************** Mint will be thrown into the tower's dungeon. *Story* ________ | tt | t. Something | | |______| Go talk to the something at your back and... *Story* Maya will arrive and talk to Mint that she could not let a monster like Mint rule the world because it would bring total chaos and send the world to oblivion. She will leave and tell Mint that dinner would be served to you, and all the dishes are pumpkins. So now Mint desperately wants to escape and at that time, the grate in your place will open and a porcupine will come out and transform into Rue and he will say that he has come back to rescue Mint. Mint will get shocked and asks what he could not explain it very well and so he removes his hat and shows you the gem on his forehead and he will tell Mint that he is not human and that he does not know what he is. He will tell Mint to forget about that now because they both need to escape from there. He will open the lock. *Story* ___________ =____ x| |_____| - I am not sure if this is 100% accurate, but this would just | | have to do for now. | i | | | i. Invisible Steps | vv | v.

All you have to do is to let him guide you and follow where he is stepping. At the end Mint would get her Magic back. Proceed to the next room. *Story* Here some witch would fire a pumpkin and Rue will ask Mint to duck but Mint will catch it on her face and Mint will tell him that he should not have evaded it because there is a lady at his back [;_;]. He will than ask you to ride the floating thing and he will go into another floating thing because it can only accommodate 1 person. *Story* Here, just avoid the witches shots by jumping. You will reach the next room. In the next room *Story* Both of them, Mint and Rue will see Trap Master and Trap Master will say that they are both caught on a trap. Both Rue and Mint will be falling down the terrace because pumpkins surround them on front and they will fall if they keep going back. Rue will ask Mint to jump and they will be saved by Belle and Hexagon and they will leave. *Cut Scene* Mode Master will tell Doll Master that Mint escaped the dungeon. Here a new plot will be visible that Doll Master wants to get the relic and he will tell it to Maya because it is better to get it now than let it fall into the wrong hands. Maya will stand on her beliefs that the kingdom is there to protect the [Relic] and they should NEVER lay their hands on it. *Cut Scene* You will be in town and Mint wanted to ask a lot of questions to Rue but Rue will say that they should talk about that at the Tavern because Belle and Duke is waiting for him. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Before you go to the bar, why don't you go talk to Rod first at the grasslands. *Story* Rod will encourage Mint to keep going because it is just her trial phase. He has survived his trial phase already and that was when he wasn't able to create good weapons. He will say that 'his woman' kept him going. She was the one that encourages him when he is down and tells him to stop moping and create a new weapon. He will say that Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega was her only keepsake to him. Upon hearing this, Mint will think that the one Rod was talking about is dead, but Rod will clarify that she, her name is Lucine and she is not dead but he can't go see her until he marked a name in history. He will tell then to Mint that she just have to keep on going no matter what and do not give up. *Story* After that, go to the Tavern. *Story* Belle, Duke and Rue, will invite Mint in their table and they are going to talk about something. Also, Belle and Duke already know that Mint is a princess because Rue told them even if they could not believe it. Mint will say to them that you have been through hell for the past 2 years. After that, Rue will then tell his story. He will say that it was 5 years ago that when he was alone and he was lost, he could have just fallen apart if it wasn't for Claire. He will say that she is dead now so that is why he needs the [Relic] to revive her. Duke will say that that story always touches him every time, and also he will tell you that he already know this because Rue have told them this when Rue asked for the Tiara. *Story* Now that most things are clarified, it is time for a good night sleep. Head for the inn and ask Ms. Cartha to go to your room. You will automatically sleep. +++++++ + END + ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Relic, here I come- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++ + Chapter 9 + +++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Maya's here- ++ +++++++++++++++++++ Go out the inn and take note that the left (Ms. Cartha's left) door is broken so you have to leave through the right (Ms. Cartha's right) door. *Story* As Mint goes out, she will be greeted by Psycho Master. He will tell you that Maya demands to get Prima Doll and of course Mint will refuse and tells Psycho Master that Maya can put the demands up her butt. After that, Psycho Master will leave and Elena will arrive and tells Mint that while they were in the forest they were attacked by dolls. So Mint decided to go check the forest out. *Story* ******************* * 'Carona Forest' **************************************** ********************************************************** * My Status: HP 143/143 STR 028 + 016 * * MP 139/139 DEF 016 + 016 * * Items: Silver Coin (if you helped Blood and Smokey) * * Enemies: Puppet * * Specter * ********************************************************** There are new enemies to this place (though they are only here temporarily), the Puppets and Specters. I think Fire deals good damage to the Specters. Here, just run to the place where Blood and Smokey is always at. *Story* Mint will see that Blood and Smokey are surrounded by puppets. She decides whether to help or not to help Blood and Smokey. *Story* Choose the option that will make you help both of them because after killing the 4 puppets ... *Story* Blood and Smokey will thank Mint but Mint will say that she did not help them because the puppets were on her way. Hearing this, Blood and Smokey will run away and Blood will drop an item for Mint. Mint will pick it up and she can't believe that they gave her an expensive item. *Story* After that go to the place where you were jumped to get to the cliffs. *Story* Here Mint will see Mira, fighting Trap Master. Mint will arrive and say to Trap Master that she has defeated many of his dolls and asks Trap Master to give up. Trap Master will say that they create them like crazy and he summons more puppets to that place, after saying that he will leave. The puppets will corner Mint and a Specter will arrive and defeat the puppets for you, he is actually Rue. You will automatically end up in town. *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** First go check out Tonio's shop. He is selling new stuff. Mythril Bracer - 5,500 G - Bonus Strength +20 Mythril Belt - 5,500 G - Bonus Defense +20 After buying those stuff, why don't you go fight Rod, he has a new weapon called 'Black Tornado'. If you don't like to fight him, just go to Klaus' house. *Story* Klaus will thank Mint for saving his family. Prima Doll will say that if he gave up himself to them, it could prevent many bad things. He will say that it is because of him that bad things happen. Mint will say to Prima Doll that she is fighting for Prima Doll, and she is not protecting Prima Doll just for anyone but she is fighting because she needs to get the [Relic] to conquer the world. And because of that, Prima Doll should not dare attempt to give his self up. After that topic, they will talk about shutting down the doll factories. Rue will say that he will check out the Ghost Temple and you Mint go check out the Underground Ruins because Klaus saw some of them there too. *Story* After that, go to the Underground Ruins. *********************** * 'Underground Ruins' ************************* *********************************************** * My Status: HP 146/146 STR 028 + 020 * * MP 143/143 DEF 016 + 020 * * Enemies: Puppet * * Specter * * Skeleton * *********************************************** *Story* When Mint arrives there, she will wonder why Maya wants to get the [Relic], and that contradicts what she said earlier at the Lake Ruins. After that, Maya and Psycho Master will arrive (and Mint will go hide) and Maya will say that she will protect the Underground Ruins personally. Maya will teleport into the ruins. *Story* Go follow Maya and inside the Underground Ruins, just go forward twice (you don't need to go down the long way). The wall beside the entrance to the room where Rue used to stand is now gone, and you can go down there, and you will automatically be in the room where you need to get the platforms in order to go to the room above. You will notice that the platforms are not there so you have to get them all again. Also there are skeletons in this place but they just go down and stand up again. After getting them all go back to that room and step on the platforms, exit at the top exit and drop down the hole and go get the heal point and go to the next room, the room with the blinking platforms. *Story* Maya will be there, trying to jump from platform to platform. Mint will ask her what is she up to and Maya will say that she has changed and maybe she got your evil nature. She will bring up the topic that since Mint are in the Underground Ruins and that boy Rue is at the Ghost Temple, then who is protecting the town. After hearing this, Mint will know that the dolls were just acting as decoys because they are really going to attack the town. Mint will immediately back to town. *Cut Scene* In town, you will see Doll Master saying that he, in behalf of Princess Maya of East Heaven Kingdom, demands to get Prima Doll. Nobody answers so he threatens to burn the town and kill all the residents. After that he will call Psycho Master and Doll Master will order him to destroy the inn and kill all the occupants. But Duke will stop them and saying that he has a new act but he will be blown away by Trap Masters trap (duh!). Belle then says that she will take all of them on. *Cut Scene* Mint arrives in town and she kicks Doll Master for an entrance, but Doll Master would evade it and he let Psycho Master take you to Church and there you will fight. Inside the Church, Psycho Master dares you to attack him on his front side. *Story* *Boss Battle - Psycho Master* Challenge: Easy - Medium To defeat him, you have to attack his back. Never attack his front because he will grab you and deal you damage. If he throws certain attacks like a round thing that would move from his body to the outer surrounding areas and stuff, you can jump that attack. If he floating and trying to move closer to you, just run away and move in a circular motion around him. *Story* After the battle, he just said that he just bought enough time and now Mint is free to go. He will then disappear. Outside, Trap Master is fighting Belle and when he got bored, he will engage the trap and blow away Belle too just like what happened to Duke. After that, Klaus would be defending Prima Doll. He will say that he would not give up a member of his family. Doll Master would be impressed by what he said but will ask him how come he wanted to risk his life for a tool. And as Klaus said earlier, he wouldn't give up a member of his family and so Doll Master cannot believe this and he will shoot Klaus with energy. Mint will get out of the church and she will see Prima Doll being taken by Doll Master. Prima Doll asks Mint to rescue him and beat up the bad guys. Mint will say that she will come, beat up the bad guys and save Prima Doll, and that would be a promise. Now, all the enemies will leave together with Prima Doll. Rue will arrive and Mint will say to him that they took Prima Doll. Rue will regret that he has arrived late and if only he was earlier, the enemies could have not taken Prima Doll. Mint will say that he will rescue Prima and Klaus will tell you that they might have taken Prima on the tower that appeared in the lake. Now Mint has to go there. *Story* +++++++ + END + +++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Maya's here- ++ +++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ + Chapter 10 + +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Maya's sooo dead!- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++ It will automatically be morning and what you do here is you leave town and go to the Tower of Maya (which was formerly the Lakeside). *Story* Mint will say that it is time to kick some major butt or something and then ... *Cut Scene* Doll Master will demand from Prima Doll to open the seal but Prima Doll does not want to do it. Doll Master will threaten Prima Doll by saying that he will destroy the town so Prima Doll will do it. After breaking the seal you will see something that will rise up and form a fortress. *Cut Scene* Rue will see it together with Mint and he will say that all their efforts are wasted because Valen's [Relic] is there. Mint will say to Rue that it is not yet over and if he wants to save Claire then they should not give up. *Story* ******************* * 'Tower of Maya' ****************************** ************************************************ * My Status: HP 150/150 STR 028 + 020 * * MP 152/152 DEF 016 + 020 * * Items: 7x Gold Coins * * 2x Star Stones * * Legendary Helmet * * Enemies: Wabbit * * Pumpkin * * Witch * * Bosses: Trap Master * * Maya (well, not really) * ************************************************ __________ | | | _==_ | |__| |__| | | | | |==| Just go enter the top door.

Go get the Legendary Helmet (L) and step on the Restore HP spot. Go exit the place. At the next room, you will see Trap Master *Story* Trap Master will say that he got the permission to kill Mint now so he attacks her and puts her into his own battle field. *Story* *Boss Battle - Trap Master* Challenge: Easy - Medium Just use White - Vulcan while you are at the middle platform, he will just die and leave you nothing to worry about. If you wish to a have a flawless battle, if a shadow appears on top of you, get out of there because an spiked ball will fall. After that, do not step on the blinking platforms because they can deal you damage. *Story* After the battle, Trap Master will ask you to finish him off so Mint does her magic stance but Trap Master will say that that won't do because you have to go near him and beat him up to do it. Mint knows that this is a trap so she does not want to go near Trap Master. He will compliment you that you are not so dumb after all and that he will tell Mint that she'll regret it because he will come get Mint in the future. He will just mope there for a while so Mint will automatically advance to the next room. In the next room, Maya is there, and Mint will demand that she release Prima Doll. She will say that Prima Doll is not there but at the Lake Ruins. But you would also want to fight her and she wants to fight you too. Maya will say to Mint that there is no need to worry because she won't use the Book of Cosmos on this battle and she will use her own powers to fight. *Story* *Boss Battle - Maya* Challenge: Easy Just whack her till she dies. If she summon pumpkins, go whack them all to gain some HP or MP. But if she turns you into a pumpkin just jump and run around and she won't be able to get you. *Story* After the battle, Maya will get humiliated because she cannot defeat MInt with her own power. Then suddenly, her body will be blinking and she will turn back into Mode Master. Mint will ask her why did she turn herself into Maya but she would run and Mint would chase her. She will stop inside the dungeon and you will see 2 Maya. They would be pointing at each other that the other one is Maya. So Mint would decide who the real Maya is and jump kick the imposter. Go kick the right one because it is truly Maya and it would be funny to do so [^_^] but if you are a bit serious at this point, attack the left one. After that, Mode Master would reveal that Doll Master used the Kingdom to achieve his goals which is getting Valen's [Relic]. Maya will be so humiliated hearing this because she let someone like Doll become an Imperial Magician. Mint will say something about Doll Master's sneaky personality and something but Mode Master will tell you that if you have heard what Doll Master has been through, you will understand him. She was supposedly going to tell you this but Trap Master would interrupt her, and will call her 'Kirielle' [so that's her true name]. Trap Master will give Maya back the Book of Cosmos but Maya would ask why is he giving this but Trap Master will say that it does not matter because it is just crap compared to the Dewprism, which is Valen's [Relic] which the Doll Master would be getting. Mode Master will tell Mint and Maya that Prima must have been taken to Valen's Fortress. Maya will tell Mint that she would come back to Carona but Mint will tell her not to go there because the townspeople may still be mad at her so Mint decided to take her to *the* place [hehehe!], to Mel. *Story* You will be automatically brought to town. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' *********************************** ****************************************************** * Item: Platinum Coin (now, or later in the game) * ****************************************************** You may like to go to register at the inn first then leave the inn and go buy the best bonus status stuff in the game from Tonio's shop. Brave Bracer - 6,500 G - Bonus Strength +24 Black Belt - 6,500 G - Bonus Defense +24 After that, you may like to give the Legendary Stuff to Jargen, the bartender at the (duh!) Tavern. He will offer you the following as dishes. _________________________________________________________________ | Dish | Enemies Required | Status Raised | |---------------------------------------------------------------| | Minced Fire Blobs | 50 Fire Blobs | +10 Maximum HP | | Mushroom Soup | 60 Fungies | +10 Maximum MP | | Pollywog Souffle | 50 Pollywogs | +2 Base Strength | | Gudon Liver Soup | 30 Gudons | +2 Base Defense | |---------------------------------------------------------------| You can only cook 10 times and the Legendary equipment will be overused but if that happens he will give you a Platinum Coin.

I think this would be the last times you can fight Rod so you better beat him up pretty bad until you don't feel like it anymore. Go to Mel's Atelier after that. ******************* * 'Mel's Atelier' ***** *********************** * Item: Cannon Orb * *********************** Go to Mel's house. *Story* Maya will tell Mint something about Dewprism. She will say that it is a pure essence of the trickles of forces in the universe [or something like that]. The Dewprism was created by Valen by compressing and crystallizing the forces and turned it into a [Relic]. It is the ultimate power of the universe. After that, Mint will ask if the Doll Master took a big part in her being kicked out of the kingdom and Maya will answer her question with a yes. Maya will tell Mint that maybe the Doll Master saw Mint as a big threat so he and the kingdom decided to kick you out. Mel will ask Mint about how is she going to go up the fortress but Mint will reply her with a no. Mel will give Mint a Cannon Orb and tells her that it is up to her what to do with it. Maya will ask Mint if she is going to go up the fortress and Mint will say that she is going. - The screen will turn and you see the flying things pinch Mel's behind and she is going to slap them [;_^]. *Story* Go back to town. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' ********* **************************** * Items: 2x Cannon Orbs * **************************** Here, go to the Grasslands and talk to Rod. *Story* Rod will tell Mint that Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega has the ability to fly but it needs to have an additional 5 Cannon Orbs. He will say something about the Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega needs 5 Cannon Orbs in it's Sorcery driver [or something] to function as a boat and 10 Cannon Orbs for it be able to fly. Mint will give him one Cannon Orb, the one she got from Mel and will tell him that she will find more of those. *Story* +++++++ + END + +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Maya's sooo dead!- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ + Chapter 11 + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Get the Cannon Orbs- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Go to Klaus house and talk to Klaus *Story* Mint will ask Klaus if he has a thing called a Cannon Orb because she needs it in order to go Valen's Fortress. He will say that he know something like that and he will give it to you. Klaus will tell Mint that she is just like Mira when Mira was young. *Story* Now, go to the tavern. *Story* In here, Mint will see Belle and Duke and she will ask them if they know something about the Cannon Orb. Belle will tell Mint that they have one and they are using it to power up Hexagon, but she will let Mint borrow it for a while. But Mint needs to promise that she will help Rue once she got the Dewprism [^_^]. Belle and Duke will leave the bar and say to Mint that they will give it to Rod after they take it out so Mint does not have to worry about getting it from them. Mint will wonder how she is going to help Rue. *Story* After that go to Hobbs' Shop. *Story* Mint will see the Cannon Orb and she will look for the price tag and it will say look like it costs 100 G. Mint will tell Hobbs that she is going to buy it but Hobbs will tell her that it is not 100 G but 100 M or 100,000,000 G. Mint does not have enough money so she will think of someone who can pay it. First she will think of Rue but she remembers that he does not have that much money. Second, she will think about Belle but also remembers that she is already in debt. After that, Klaus but then she knows that Klaus does not earn that much money. Now, there would be someone in her mind and Mint will tell Hobbs that someone would be paying it for her but still Hobbs want some form of down payment so he will ask you for 5,000 G. *Story* Go give the 5,000 G that Hobbs is asking you. *Story* Hobbs will hand you the Cannon Orb and go leave the shop. Mint will then reveal that the one that would be paying for it was Maya. *Story* After that, head for the Grasslands and Mint will automatically [I think] will talk to Belle. *Story* Belle will say that she have been waiting for Duke and Rod to arrive for about an hour already but Rod and Duke will arrive with Rod injured. They will tell Mint that they have challenged Wylaf because they heard that the dragon had a Cannon Orb. At the start Wylaf does not want to give the Cannon Orb to Rod because Wylaf wants to test them if he is worthy to get it. Rod would be fighting Wylaf and Duke will arrive late because he had to fix his act. They would then fight together against Rod to test their hearts. "Without heart, we are nothing" - Rod and Duke They would win and they would be able to get the Cannon Orb which they have brought now but sadly [;_;], Rod cannot pilot Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega because he has suffered a lot of damage. Rod will ask Duke to act like him and fly his 'baby' to Valen's Fortress, Duke will accept this. *Story* +++++++ + END + +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Get the Cannon Orbs- ++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ + Chapter 12 + ++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Final Battle- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++ Go to the Raging Mountains if you like to get the Magic Effect [Hyper]. ********************* * 'Raging Mountain' **************************** ************************************************ * My Status: HP 165/165 STR 030 + 024 * * MP 163/163 DEF 018 + 024 * * Items: Magic Effect [Hyper] * ************************************************ Go to the peak where you fought Wylaf. *Story* Mint will see Rue and he will thank her because she encouraged him when he was about to give up. Thanks to Mint, he will not give up anymore. He will then ask Wylaf for Dragon Wings and Wylaf would give it to him and he will turn into a dragon. Rue will say to Mint before he leaves for the fortress that he is not going to forget Mint. After that, Wylaf would read Mint's mind and he will know that she wants something like that too, so he will give Mint the Magic Effect [Hyper] but he still needs to test her if she is worthy to have it. *Story* *Boss Battle - Wylaf* Challenge: Medium - Hard Same things like the previous battle to take note hear. Avoid the + effect of his fire breath to the ground. Begin casting Blue - Icicle or press the attack button continuously before he even drops on the ground so that you can immediately damage him. Avoid the cyclones that he will be summoning or else it would take you to the sky and deal you damage. Also if he charges you, avoid it by jumping to another direction. After the battle *Story* Wylaf will recognize that Mint is worthy to have it so he will give the Magic Effect [Hyper] to her. He will say that he will be leaving the mountain if Mint has united the world under her rule and he will be serving her. Mint will leave the place and after that Wylaf will call someone to come out from hiding. Mel will come out and tells Wylaf that it has been along time and just like the Aeons, they will be gone soon. Both of them would agree that the world's fate is up to the younger generations now, whether they will destroy or protect it. Mel will wonder if Mint will be ok but Wylaf will say that they can trust her. *Story* You will automatically end up in town. ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** Now that you are here, I would suggest that if you have not yet destroyed the Legendary stuff yet, go beat up Pollywogs and Gudons (remember to get only enough since the Legendary stuff will break after 10 meals) [Don't waste time beating Fire Blobs and Fungies because +10 HP or +10 MP is not worth it] after destroying it, the bartender will give you a Platinum Coin. After that, if you think you have missed something, go check out the section Side Stuff. If you have done all of them go to the inn and register and go talk to Belle. *Story* Belle will ask Mint if she wants to go to Valen's Fortress now, choose to depart. Rod will say that he is counting on Duke to take Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega. Duke will say that he will pilot Pinto. Rod will get mad because it is not Pinto but Pulsar Inferno Typhoon -- but he can't finish because his injuries hurt. On it, as Duke begins the ride, Pinto would be running slowly and Mint will assume that "Hey I know, Belle's big butt is weighing us down." - Mint Duke will flip a switch but it will stop and after a while, it would be going real fast and at that speed you will fly and arrive to Valen's Fortress. ********************** * 'Valen's Fortress' *************************** ************************************************ * My Status: HP 186/186 STR 041 + 024 * * MP 187/187 DEF 025 + 024 * * Items: Magic Color [Gold Magic] * * Bronze Coin or \ * * Silver Coin or - (0 - 4x) * * Gold Coin / * * Enemies: Behemoth * * Shaolon * * Fire Blob * * Hellhound * * Bubba * * Jinn * * Other Enemies/Bosses: Pollywog * * Saber Tiger * * Mandola * * Gudon * * Witch * * Pumpkin * * Wabbit * * Puppet * * Skeleton * * Specter * * Nightmare * * Cloud Whale * * Skull Beast * * Bosses: Psycho Master * * Doll Master * * Valen * * Valen * ************************************************ *Story* Mint, Duke, and Belle will arrive at the place also, Mint feels sick because of the ride.

After that, Prima Doll will ask Mint to beat up the bad guys and now that he has said that, he needs to rest and transforms himself into a cube.

They can be used (attack them) if you want to refill your MP. __________________________________________________Objective Sheet____________ Here is what you should do: Your objective is to light the two [IDKWTAC] on the center. for example: I I I I \ / | Light these two and keep the ones beside them unlighted. A rock will fall and you have to take them to room 1. Note that you cannot attack / fight, even use magic when you are carrying a rock. For clarity reasons, you have to do the steps (steps [a] then [b] and so on) but you can do the rooms in any order. (Thanks to chojin66 for this one). __________________________________________________Objective Sheet____________ Room 1: a. Use Blue - Droplets to extinguish the two lighted [IDKWTAC] (which are 2 and 3) b. Then use Fire - Burner on the two of them [meaning you will extinguish them and light them again] (2 and 3). c. A red stone will drop. ______________ | 1 2 3 4 | 1 and 4 - Unlit | s | 2 and 3 - Lit | s s | s. That is where the stones are to be placed |______s_____| Room 3: a.

It is because that the Doll Master is taking the Cursed Crossways wherein he will face the fears of your past. He also cannot allow Mint to go back and Mint has to end the battle there. *Story* *Boss Battle - Psycho Master* Challenge: Easy - Medium Do not touch the invisible barrier because it will deal you damage. Note again that you can only attack him at his back. When he floats and chases you, run around the room (but avoid the invisible barrier) and around him. When he casts the blue floating things, just get hit by them, it is only cheap damage anyway. Use Blue - Restore if you want to Recover HP. *Story* Psycho Master will say that even though you have defeated him, you cannot go after the Doll Master because the Cursed Crossways is a difficult test. After that Mint will kick him and she will proceed to the next room and is confident that she can conquer the next test, the Cursed Crossways. *Story* ********************** * 'Cursed Crossways' * ********************** ___________________ |1_______2_______3| | | | | | | 1.

Puppet, Specter, Skeleton | |_____| |_____| | 7. Wabbit, Pumpkin, Witch |6_______A_______7| Here you have to go through all teleporters, beating the enemies in the place you will appear to. I believe that there is some kind of order here but sadly, I can't remember. The enemies here are pitiful so you can easily defeat them. Also if you are low on HP in the degree of: Ultra low - Fight at 1 or 3 Low - Fight at 3 or 7 Medium - Fight at 6 or 7 to regain health (by beating up enemies and getting the potions (the red or blue stuff that they leave behind). After beating all the rooms, the center will have a save point and (A) will become a teleporter which has a Restore HP, save and hop onto it. *Story* In the next room, Mint will see Doll Master who is beating Rue up. Doll Master is opening the final seal that would lead to the Dewprism. Doll Master will say that he is impressed that Mint was able to get that far because in the first place, she was just some lousy princess [or something like that] and now it turned out that she is the one that is going to stop him. Doll Master will ask what Mint's reason is. "Oh? Enlighten me. If you have come here for justice, it would be the joke of the century." - Doll Master Mint will say that she journeyed that far not for justice but to get hold of the Dewprism and conquer the world. She will also say that she wants to send Doll Master to hell because she was homeless for the past 2 years because of him. Doll Master will clarify this and will say to Mint that it was not his fault that Mint was not going to be queen because it was the decision of the High Council, together with the King. Now, Mint will contradict what she said earlier that she have come for justice and the two are going to fight.. *Story* *Boss Battle - Doll Master* Challenge: Easy Just attack him or use White - Arrow. Don't even think of evading his attacks because they are pitiful. Since his efforts are pathetic, it could help his pride that he damaged you by a little bit or something. *Story* After the battle, Mint will continually attack Doll Master and Doll Master will utter something about his goal and the relic. After saying that, he will disappear and leave his mask. Mint will approach Rue who is still unconscious and tries to wake him up. He would not respond so Mint decided to go for the relic but Rue will say "Claire" so Mint decided to drag Rue and say that ok, she will revive Claire with HER Dewprism. She will go to the next room while dragging Rue. In the next room, Mint will see the Dewprism and she will express her claim but someone will arrive. Mint will ask who the guy is but he will say that Mint is in his fortress and she doesn't know who he is. Mint will realize that she is talking to Valen but will wonder that how come he is still alive because all the Aeons are dead. Valen can read Mint's mind and he will answer the question and that he is only a spirit. Mint will ask if she can have the Dewprism because Valen cannot use it without a physical body but Valen will take over Rue's body, wherein he will say that a doll's body is good enough for him [so Rue is a doll]. Valen will say something about purifying the world and he will be god but Mint will say that it is her world and that nobody can destroy it. For that, Valen will summon some creatures and you will be the one to experience his purification. *Story* *Boss Battle - Valen* Challenge: Medium Here, you have to damage Valen which is in Rue's body. You can use Yellow - Trine or Yellow - Final Flash when Valen is near you. Regain your HP by using Blue - Restore, and your MP by attacking the guy that Valen will summon. If he summons the guy, attack the guy until it is dead. If it is moving around while in a slicing pose, just jump when it is coming your way. If it is jumping around, just jump when it is about to land on the ground. When it is doing something stupid [like standing and doing some pose], attack it because it will restore Valen's health. *Story* After that, there would be struggle within Rue's body and Valen's spirit will be cast out by the spirit of Claire that is residing in Rue's body. Maya will arrive and she is going to attack Valen using the Book of Cosmos. She will say that even though it is very much weaker than the Dewprism, it doesn't matter because Valen cannot use the Dewprism without a physical body. Valen will say that actually he can use it if he decides to become the Light. He will tell something about the power of the Dewprism to turn a light into a new and superior light. After saying those things, he will enter the Dewprism to become the 'Light'. Maya will ask Mint for both of them to work together and she will give Mint the power of the Book of Cosmos, which has Magic Effect [Cosmos] in order to fight Valen. *Story* *Boss Battle - Valen* Challenge: Easy - Medium Here, the only time you can damage him when he is a bit red and that is after storming you with a White - Vulcan like attack. If you are low on HP, just use Blue - Restore and attack Valen six times when he is on the ground for a full MP (you can also restore MP in the same way). When he is flying, he will attempt to grab you so just run away from it and just run to some direction when it is going to blast you with the 2 barreled White - Vulcan like attack. When you are seeing an overhead view, it is preparing for the suck maneuver. Here, just run down and move left or right so you can avoid the shots and avoid getting sucked in. Now, when he is hovering, he will storm you with the White - Vulcan like attack. When that happens, set your magic to Yellow - Final Flash or Yellow - Trine and hold triangle while you are being hit with the White - Vulcan - like attack for an immediate fire. If you use Yellow - Final Flash, two of that would get rid of him. *Story* After the battle ... will ... and .... ... will ... and the .... ... will ... but ... at the ... will be ... the .... *Story* ******************** * 'Town of Carona' * ******************** You will be automatically in the inn and *Story* ... will say that .... ... will ... and that .... will ... to ... and ... tell ... when .... *Story* +++++++ + END + ++++++++++++++++++++ ++ -Final Battle- ++ ++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ + Chapter 13 + +++++++++++++++++ ++ -Aftermath- ++ +++++++++++++++++ *Story* ... will ... and ... will .... ... that ... and .... ... ask ....

I actually played Mint first and if you want to know my time is 19:43. [Yeah, yeah, I took a loooooong time to finish the game, but it was really hard to do the maps and writing while reading or playing the game and stuff so sometimes I let go of the controller and write stuff on paper.] If you have finished Mint's story only: - After the credits, you will see something like End of Mint's story. You will be asked if you want to save the game which is Rue 0:00. Save your game and you will see Mint's picture has a color now. After that, you will be asked if you want to: - Play the Rue Episode - Return to the Title Screen - Return to the Save Screen do anything you want. But if you have finished Rue's and Mint's story, proceed to the next section, So you've finished the game. ####################################### ## ---So You've Finished the Game--- ## ####################################### If you have finished the game, both Rue and Mint, after the credits you will be able to see an epilogue about what is going to happen in their lives next now that ... and ... is gone. The game would leave you something to wonder about in maybe the next sequel or just for rumors or story that you could tell other people because there is another ... for ... to ... which ... and that ... asks ... to ... You can also choose to save the game and start the game with either Rue and Mint with them having the current status that you have left them with. They also have the same items when you finished their story but there is a little extra for Mint, she would have all the Magic colors and effects. Also, the save occupies only 1 space and that it contains 2 characters on 1 save space. There have been rumors floating around that you can fight the final boss together for something but none of them has really been proven. I think that this save is just there to add some 'thought' that the game having a replay value [just like Chrono Trigger's - New Game Plus Mode] though it is really not necessary because there are no bonus dungeons or quest [As for me and the others think as of now] that you can go to. ###################### ## ---Side Stuff--- ## ###################### This section contains the things that you *may* miss if you just cruised through the game. More details are in the walkthrough so you can try finding the item or the word by using the find feature of the word processor that you are using. +++++++++++++++ ++ ---Rue--- ++ +++++++++++++++ Dream Stone - The Last Hero - +4 STR Mysterious Statue - +10 MP / 6,000 G Mandola Bloom - Climb tree using Ootang - Moon Stone Star Stone at Carona Forest Legendary Items - Dishes - Platinum Coin ++++++++++++++++ ++ ---Mint--- ++ ++++++++++++++++ Dream Stone - The Last Hero - +4 STR Magic Effect [Power] Magic Effect [Circle] Brooch - Discount at the Tavern / 6,000 G Legendary Items - Dishes - Platinum Coin Magic Effect [Hyper] #################### ## ---The Town--- ## #################### You will be staying at the Town of Carona the whole game so you better get used to it.

Exit |____| _=====_ =____| |_________| D |_________| 1. Church - Being run by Doyle, talk to him if you want to pray and give donations. By giving donations, he will give you coins. [Better call it the Coin Shop rather than a church]. Coins are used when you are knocked out (O HP) and you want to continue the game at the same spot. ___________________________________________________________________ | Donation | Coins | Description | |------------------------------------------------------------------ | 1,000 G | 10 Bronze Coins | Full HP & 1/4 MP | | 5,000 G | 5 Silver Coins | Full HP & 1/2 MP | | 10,000 G | 2 Gold Coins | Full HP & MP | | 30,000 G | 1 Platinum Coin | Full HP & MP, +1 STR & DEF | |----------------------------------|------------------------------| 2. Hotel - Being run by Leeson, the guy at the counter and Solin, the bellboy or security guard, talk to Leeson and pay 500 G to get a hotel room. Sleeping in a hotel is just like sleeping in the inn but if you sleep in a hotel, you may get a dream that is somewhat related to the side quests (for example after 'World Domination, Baby', if you sleep there, you will dream of a monkey going down the stump of the tree then you need to go there and follow what the monkey did). Also, in the hotel room, sometimes there are items that can be found. I already found the Dream Stone and a Bronze Coin together with Silver Coin. I found out that these (through an experience) that these items appear at random (except for the Dream Stone) so check the Hotel if you want to. 3. Klaus' House - As the name states, this is Klaus' house. You need to go back here most of the time or all of the time after completing a quest in which you got an item which needs to be interpreted by Klaus. Many parts of the story takes place in this house, such as talking about something that is part of the storyline. You can also give the Mysterious Statue to Klaus for a +10 MP [Rue Only]. 4. Item Shop - Being run by Tonio, this is the place to buy the bonus items (bonuses for strength or defense). You can sell your Monster Coins, Stones and the rare stuff that you found in the game here (DO NOT SELL RARE STUFF ESPECIALLY THE RARE WINE, NEVER EVER EVER SELL THE RARE WINE). The bonuses doesn't add up (example if you buy Bronze Bracer which is +4 then buy Silver Bracer +8, your bonus will be +8 and NOT +12). Items that I have bought so far - to be updated as I progress ________________________________________________________ | Item | Cost | Description | |------------------------------------------------------| | Bronze Bracer | 1,000 G | +4 Strength Bonus | | Silver Bracer | 3,000 G | +8 Strength Bonus | | Gold Bracer | 3,500 G | +12 Strength Bonus | | Platinum Bracer | 4,500 G | +16 Strength Bonus | | Mythril Bracer | 5,500 G | +20 Strength Bonus | | Brave Bracer | 6,500 G | +24 Strength Bonus | |------------------------------------------------------| | Bronze Belt | 1,000 G | +4 Defense Bonus | | Silver Belt | 3,000 G | +8 Defense Bonus | | Gold Belt | 3,500 G | +12 Defense Bonus | | Platinum Belt | 4,500 G | +16 Defense Bonus | | Mythril Bracer | 5,500 G | +20 Defense Bonus | | Black Belt | 6,500 G | +24 Defense Bonus | |------------------------------------------------------| 5. Inn - After the first Atelier, you can stay here for free. Here, you can recover your HP (HP Only). You can save your game and go to your room too. A. Docks - Some coins just come out at the docks at random so be sure to check them when you feel like it. ______________________ | | 6 _| | Town of Carona (B) = |___|=| ____| | | | 6. Tavern | = 7 | 7. Hobbs' Shop | |___| | | |____________________| 6. Tavern - Being run by the bartender together with the waitress Annette. At the first time, if you talk to Annette many times, she will treat you with Milk or Root beer. But after that, you have to buy them from the bartender. Also after getting the Brooch at Gamul Forest [Mint Only], you can give it to Annette and she will give you a discount on the drinks. The drinks here restores MP. For me, it is not worth it because I whack enemies if I want MP (it costs free and I get to earn money too!). _________________________________________________________________ | Drink | Cost | Discounted Cost | Restores | |---------------------------------------------------------------| | Milk | 50 G | 10 G | 10% MP | | Root Beer | 120 G | 30 G | 25% MP | | Tropical Delight | 220 G | 50 G | 50% MP | |---------------------------------------------------------------| Also, here, if you give the 3 Legendary Stuff, the Legendary Sword, also known as the Kitchen Knife, the Legendary Shield or a Frying Pan, and the Legendary Helmet or a pot to the bartender, he can create dishes that will increase your parameters (just like buying from Hobbs' Shop). After cooking a number of dishes he will say that he has overused his items and it will break (after cooking 10 times) but he will give you a Platinum Coin. _________________________________________________________________ | Dish | Enemies Required | Status Raised | |---------------------------------------------------------------| | Minced Fire Blobs | 50 Fire Blobs | +10 Maximum HP | | Mushroom Soup | 60 Fungies | +10 Maximum MP | | Pollywog Souffle | 50 Pollywogs | +2 Base Strength | | Gudon Liver Soup | 30 Gudons | +2 Base Defense | |---------------------------------------------------------------| 7. Hobbs' Shop - Shop owned by Hobbs, you can upgrade your base status here. At first it is expensive (30,000 G each) but when you have the Rare Wine (found in the Underground Ruins), you can give it to him and he will give you a discount (now, 5,000 G). (SO DO NOT SELL THE RARE WINE FOR HOW MANY 1000 - 5000 G BECAUSE IT IS NOT, AND DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT.) _________________________________________________________________________ | Upgrade | Effects | Original Cost | Discounted Cost | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Strength | Base Strength +1 | 30,000 G | 5,000 G | | Defense | Base Defense +1 | 30,000 G | 5,000 G | | HP | Maximum HP +10 | 30,000 G | 5,000 G | | MP | Maximum MP +10 | 30,000 G | 5,000 G | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| ______________=__ || | | Town of Carona - Grasslands (C) ||____| | ||_PO_| | - this is where you will be fighting Rod | | - Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Omega or Pinto (by Mint) | | |+++++++++++++++| | | |_______________| This is the place where in you can fight Rod for 100 G and if you win he will give you 1000 G. Also this is the place to go to during the nighttime because if you do, you can hear many things about Rod's past [;_;] and he can encourage you to go on with your quest (and to go to sleep [^_^]). Note that Rod's ability, speed, and status increase every time you fight him. He also changes his weapons once in a while. Rods weapons: (Silver Breeze, Golden Gale, Black Tornado and ) D. The Town's Gate - Most of the time, this is where you have to leave town. ######################### ## ---Rental Manual--- ## ######################### The next sections, the Rental Manual and the Beastiary are part of the FAQ, given to me by David Blake or (iamnothing).

You can transform by getting monster coins, in which you can only keep 4 at a time. The different monsters have different abilities (though sometimes a few have the same) that Rue can use if he transforms. I believe I've gotten them all and here they are: ________________________________________________________________________ | Monster Name | Ability | MP Usage | Buttons | Element | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Pollywog | Tail Slap | 0 MP | Triangle | Physical | | | Bite | 0 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Saber Tiger | Thrust | 1 MP | Triangle | Physical | | | Bite | 0 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Mandola | Bloom | 0 MP | Triangle | N/A | | | Seed | 3 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Stinger | Rolling Spine | 1 MP | Triangle + Dir | Physical | | | Spine | 0 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Gargoyle | Sonic Wave | 1 MP | Triangle | Wind | | | Kick | 0 MP | X | Physical | | | Double Jump | 0 MP | Circle Circle | N/A | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Ootang | Scratch | 0 MP | Triangle | Physical | | | Stone | 2 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Gudon | Flame | 4 MP | Triangle | Fire | | | Tail Slap | 0 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Imp | Shooting Star | 4 MP | Triangle | Light | | | Strike | 0 MP | X | Light | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Fungie | Sparkle | 4 MP | Triangle | Light | | | Head Slam | 0 MP | X | Light | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Cockadoo | Peck | 0 MP | X | Light | | | Double Jump | 0 MP | Circle Circle | N/A | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Puppet | Combo | 0 MP | Triangle | Physical | | | Strike | 0 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Specter | Water | 6 MP | Triangle | Water | | | Ice Blow | 8 MP | X | Water | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Skeleton | Fall Apart | 0 MP | Triangle | N/A | | | Strike | 0 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Fire Blob | Sparks | 16 MP | Triangle | Fire | | | Head Butt | 0 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Bubba | Hammer* | 0 MP | Triangle | Physical | | | Final Strike* | 30 MP | Hold Triangle | Physical | | | Head Butt | 0 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Wabbit | Duck | 0 MP | Triangle | N/A | | | Wing Slap | 0 MP | X | Wind | | | Double Jump | 0 MP | Circle Circle | N/A | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Pumpkin | Blowup** | 30 MP | Hold Triangle | Physical | | | Collide | 0 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Witch | Spin | 1 MP | Triangle | Physical | | | Pumpkin Cannon | 2 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Shaolon | Lightning | 10 MP | Triangle | Bolt | | | Thrust | 1 MP | X | Physical | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Hellhound | Ice Blow | 9 MP | Triangle | Water | | | Flame | 11 MP | X | Fire | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Jinn | Tornado | 18 MP | Triangle | Wind | | | Tail Whip | 0 MP | X | Physical | | | Double Jump | 0 MP | Circle Circle | N/A | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| * - This attack has the ability to destroy rocks. ** - This ability (Pumpkin - Blowup) will turn you back into Rue after using it. ###################### ## ---Magic List--- ## ###################### Mint is the character that uses magic. Magic is divided into classes or colors and it has different effects such as Wide, Normal, Super etc. You can gain magic classes or colors from certain events (you can't miss it) and the effects can be acquired from chests, people / dragon and bodies of slayed monsters. ________________________________________________________________________ | Class | Effect | Magic Name | MP Usage | Description | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Blue | Wide | Cutter | 4 MP | Triple Blades | | | Normal | Droplets | 2 MP | Rain Drops | | | Super | Icicle | 4 MP | Drop Ice | | | Power | Ripple | 4 MP | Wave Shot | | | Circle | Crystal | 6 MP | Diamond | | | Hyper | Restore | 100 MP* | Restore HP | | | Cosmos | N/A | N/A | N/A | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | White | Wide | Spread | 4 MP | 5 Way Shot | | | Normal | Vulcan | 1 MP | Rapid Fire | | | Super | N/A | N/A | N/A | | | Power | Arrow | 4 MP | Piercing Shot | | | Circle | Satellite | 10 MP | Orbit Shot | | | Hyper | N/A | N/A | N/A | | | Cosmos | N/A | N/A | N/A | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Red | Wide | Bullet | 4 MP | Low Fire | | | Normal | Burner | 2 MP | Fire | | | Super | Napalm | 6 MP | Wild Fire | | | Power | Flare | 6 MP | Fire Ball | | | Circle | Delta | 6 MP | Triple Flame | | | Hyper | Fire Heart | 80 MP* | Fire Coat | | | Cosmos | N/A | N/A | N/A | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Green | Wide | Typhoon | 2 MP | Whirlwind | | | Normal | Wave | 3 MP | Wind | | | Super | Impulse | 6 MP | Circle | | | Power | Gale | 3 MP | Low Wind | | | Circle | Cyclone | 3 MP | High Wind | | | Hyper | Nightingale | 80 MP* | Invincible | | | Cosmos | N/A | N/A | N/A | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Black | Wide | Dark Mist | 6 MP | Black Smoke | | | Normal | Bomb** | 5 MP | Blow-up Rocks | | | Super | Dynamite | 10 MP | Explosion | | | Power | Graviton** | 6 MP | Black Ball | | | Circle | Drill | 6 MP | Big Drill | | | Hyper | Shadow Strike | 50 MP | Deadly Dash | | | Cosmos | N/A | N/A | N/A | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Yellow | Wide | Spark | 5 MP | Chase Enemy | | | Normal | Cracker | 6 MP | Double Shot | | | Super | Trine | 8 MP | Triple Chase | | | Power | Bolt | 10 MP | Lightning | | | Circle | Forces | 8 MP | Loop | | | Hyper | Final Flash | 100 MP* | Big Burst | | | Cosmos | N/A | N/A | N/A | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| | Gold | Wide | N/A | N/A | N/A | | | Normal | N/A | N/A | N/A | | | Super | N/A | N/A | N/A | | | Power | N/A | N/A | N/A | | | Circle | N/A | N/A | N/A | | | Hyper | N/A | N/A | N/A | | | Cosmos | Valiant*** | 10 MP | Hold Barrier/ | | | Release Fire | |----------------------------------------------------------------------| * - The following magic uses all your MP but it needs the corresponding MP in order for it to be cast. ** - This magic has the ability to destroy rocks. *** - This magic (Gold - Valiant) can be used to Hold a Barrier (Hold Barrier) if you hold the Magic button wherein it would last for a few seconds and the damage you get from it would restore your HP. It can also be used to attack enemies (Release Fire) if you just press the Magic button.

When he is alone, just attack until he is defeated. *Nightmare* Challenge: Easy - Medium Just try running around, while evading the attacks and when Nightmare closes, jump away. Transform yourself into a Saber Tiger and use Thrust. Thrust its sides (don't go head to head). *Rod* Challenge: Hard Approach him with caution. Do not go near him when he is spiraling either the ground or jumping one. Try leading him to the obstacle (in the middle). He will stop spiraling so now run and attack him using a 3-hit combo, then evade his attack by jumping back twice. After that attack again using a 3-hit then evade his attack by jumping back again twice. Then run around until he does again the spiraling move (either the jumping one or ground one). Repeat the above steps again till you win. *Duke* Challenge: Medium You can avoid his attacks by jumping aside. Just use attack 1 to dispose of him. *Blood and Smokey* Challenge: Easy - Medium Just attack them till one of them is defeated. *Chimera* Challenge: Medium Try to be careful because the Chimera moves fast and attacks you using the sickle. Try evading it by jumping both back and aside. You can attack it when it is standing still (it will stand still in a few seconds after charging you). *Chimera* Challenge: Medium In this second battle, it will lose the ability to charge you fast and attack you with its sickle. It has a new attack in place of that, it can cause bolts to fall from above. You can avoid that attack by running around the place or running far from its starting point. Attack it when it is not moving or after he throws down his bolts. *Chimera* Challenge: Medium - Hard Now it has the combined attacks of the last two and new attacks. Again to avoid the fast moving charge, just jump back and aside. Also to avoid the bolts, just run far from the bolts starting point or run around the place. Fire Wall attack is one of its new attack. Just stay away from it (it would encircle him and he won't move). It can also throw fire now so just jump aside to avoid it. You can attack and run back and just attack and run back again and again. *Duke* Challenge: Medium - Hard Avoid his fists and uppercut by jumping back. Also when he lights up, he will punch the ground and will either do a circular attack or a straight one directional attack. You can attack him when he finishes doing an uppercut and you can do that only twice because he has another uppercut which will follow. Do not attack the obstacles because they will deal you damage. You can also try to let him destroy the obstacles so that he will be the one to take up damage. *Belle with Hexagon and Duke* Challenge: Medium Duke will do uppercuts but now they are not much of a problem but he is still annoying so go all out against him first. Just beat up Duke using Attack 1. After he is over, use your jump attacks at Belle with Hexagon. Do not do that when you face to face with Hexagon and that you should only try using jump attack after it grabs air (since you are not there) or when you are at its back. If you drained the life bar of Belle with Hexagon, Belle will jump down and fight you. Just avoid her fire attacks and don't go near her when there are white spinning things around her and just keep watch because she will throw them at you. Just attack her. *Wylaf* Challenge: Medium You can avoid getting damage and deal damage to Wylaf when WHILE he is swooping down at you, you use Attack 1 and slash the air until he gets near you and you will eventually slash him and he will go back into the air. Also, when he breathes a fireball, avoid the place where it will fall and avoid the (+) effect that it has (there would be a cross (+) in which the fireball is the intersection). Avoid also the vortex when he casts one because it will throw you into the air. *Psycho Master* Challenge: Easy Careful not to attack him at his front or side meaning attack him ONLY at his back. Just whack his back till he withdraws. When he is hovering and following you, just run around the place or around him and make sure that he doesn't come into contact with you. *'He'* Challenge: Impossible - N/A Just die in battle, I believe you can't win. Also if you checked out the Message Board of GameFAQs, there is an article there that says that he replayed the game with stronger characters and he fought for a long time against Doll Master but it seemed that Doll Master has infinite HP. *Atenacius* Challenge: Easy - Medium In this battle, attack the old man's beard. He will counter attack or attack you using his beard too but if you are about my level, meaning you bought the Mythril stuff, it doesn't matter. There are also 'Electric Beard Slice' [I made that up {^_^}] attack which also gives pitiful damage. He will move from one large platform to another so you have to jump using the small platforms (note that sometimes, HP or MP up items appear there). He also has something homing attack which you can't avoid. *Trap Master* Challenge: Easy - Medium Just stay at the center and hopefully you have the Witch coin or the Bubba coin. Transform into any of the 2, preferably the Witch and use Pumpkin Shot if not use Bubba - Hammer. If you don't have any of the two, it would be a hard battle. Avoid stepping on the blinking platforms because they will explode and deal you damage. Also, when a shadow is on top of you, move to another platform because a spiked ball will fall on top of you (but it really isn't necessary if you have Witch or Bubba). *Mode Master* Challenge: Medium She is in a Rue form and she has the same attacks as you. Just jump attack her. When she sustained a lot of damage, she will begin transforming herself into different monsters, even monsters that Rue can't transform into (like the Behemoth). Again just use jump attacks. *Psycho Master* Challenge: Medium Do not touch the invisible barrier because it will deal you damage. Note again that you can only attack him at his back. When he floats and chases you, run around the room (but avoid the invisible barrier) and around him. When he casts the blue floating things, just get hit by them, it is only cheap damage anyway. Also he casts a circular attack that moves in all directions, just jump to evade that attack. *Doll Master* Challenge: Medium - Hard - Impossible (Doll Master can cheat) He has a lot of attacks such as the 'Claw Swipe' and for that, you just have to jump back. He has a 'White Magic Loop' which would lift you up and you will take damage and throws you aside, immediately jump because he will use another 'Claw Swipe'. He has a 'Black Projectile' attack which you can avoid by running far away from its casting point (let it chase you to the other side of the screen) but it does pitiful damage so it doesn't matter. Also, he has the 'Charge Grab' and you know if its coming because he will stand and his body would emit stars, when you see that, run to the direction where Doll Master is facing (meaning if he is facing right, run right, if he is facing left, run to the left), if you get caught, you will suffer MAJOR damage. After that attack, if you did not get hit, you can use a 3-hit combo against him. Sometimes, you can jump kick him but it is not very advisable because Doll Master, just like Rod, can block attacks. The cheat, sometimes, Doll Master cheats by using the 'White Magic Loop Infinity' [Wow, what a lousy name, I just made that up]. He uses it continually and you will just die from it [happened to me once]. *Valen* Challenge: Medium In this battle, Valen, in Claire's body will be floating and moving around. You can damage him (or her) if he is near you and you try to jump attack him (or her). Also, Valen summons a big creature. This big creature has three attacks. First it can spin around and damage that comes along its path. Try jumping when it is near and going to slice you. Another one is when he is jumping, the ground shakes and when you are on the ground, you will receive damage. Jump when the big guy is about to fall on the ground to avoid taking damage. Also, he can restore Valen's HP. He does this when he is like doing a stupid pose. Just run towards it and attack it. It is a good time to attack Valen if you kill this guy first (although he will summon this guy again). You can also get restore HP or MP stuff from the big guy if you run out of HP (I don't think you will run out of HP). *Valen* Challenge: Easy - Medium Note that in this battle, Rue's attack 2 is already a defensive posture. Rue's defensive posture would prevent him from falling after an attack and I believe that he takes up less damage. Here, the only time you can damage him when he is a bit red and that is after storming you with a rapid fire of White star-like stuff attack. But before that, if you are low on HP, just grab the blue potions that randomly appear at the battlefield. And, when he is flying, he will attempt to grab you so just run away from it and just run to some direction when it is going to blast you with the 2 barreled rainbow colored rapid star-like stuff attack. When you are seeing an overhead view, it is preparing for the 'suck' maneuver. Here, just run down and move left or right so you can avoid the shots and avoid getting sucked in. Now, when he is hovering, he will storm you with a rapid fire of white stuff attack. When that happens, use Attack 2 so that you would receive small damage and you won't fall back. After the storm, he will be blinking red and use a jump attack on him. It will take 4 jump attacks to defeat the guy. ++++++++++++++++ ++ ---Mint--- ++ ++++++++++++++++ *Blood and Smokey* Challenge: Easy What you do here is run until only one is at your back [try to trap one using obstacles]. When he is alone, Set Magic to White - Vulcan. Blast him until about 18 - 25 hits and the fight is over. *Nightmare* Challenge: Easy - Medium Just try running around, while evading the attacks and when Nightmare closes, jump away. After getting used to his pattern, beat it up to the finish by using White - Spread. When you are low on MP, try attacking and evading attacks. *Skull Beast* Challenge: Medium During your fight, it will sometimes breathe fire. If that happens, just jump to avoid it to another place. After that, he / it (whatever) will be tired and he / it will be blinking and go pound him / it silly. Sometimes it would be jumping, just do not go to that place and you won't take any damage. *Belle* Challenge: Easy Just beat her like silly. But , if you want a flawless victory, avoid her when there are things that are circling around her until she throws them to you (avoid those too!). *Blood and Smokey* Challenge: Easy Use White - Vulcan to kill any one of them. *Starlight Duke* Challenge: Easy - Medium To damage him, you have to kick him until he lies flat or let him tire by making him jump high or after him spinning. If he is lying flat, use White - Spread. If he is spinning, just jump out of the way. He has a final move which he executes when you drained his life to 0, it will take out 20 damage from you. *Rod* Challenge: depends upon the number of times you have fought him For me, I have not fought him recently so he sucks. I just whacked away at him and he lost. *Belle with Hexagon* Challenge: Medium Here just run around and avoid the hands of hexagon (by jumping aside) if it tries to grab you. Just try to kick Belle until the floor rise and jump up the risen floor and from there, kick Belle (about 5 kick attacks). *Cloud Whale* Challenge: Medium To damage it, you can use White - Vulcan when its mouth opens (the blue- green part) but in this way, it will take you in its mouth and spit you out (but it is all right). If it creates a tidal wave, jump to avoid the water rushing from the source, to the raft, and to where you are standing. You can also attack the red part when it is charging for a water-spray attack. NOTE: Someone e-mailed me and told me that for some reason, the Cloud Whale restores its HP. I am not sure about this. I am also not sure what is wrong with the game. *Belle with Hexagon and Duke* Challenge: Medium First go beat the hell out of Duke, he is so annoying, constantly doing uppercuts to you. After he is done, concentrate on Belle and Hexagon. You need to jump kick her. Try doing that at Hexagon's back or after Hexagon has finished doing his grab attack (move / jump away). After beating Belle out, she will jump down and fight you face to face. Same strategy as before, just attack her normally but avoid her while she has the swirling white stuff around her until she throws it. Also jump if she casts the fire attack. *Wylaf* Challenge: Medium To damage him, you can use Blue - Icicle WHILE he swoops down at you (it will eventually hit him and would cause him to go back up). If you are low on MP, try attacking WHILE he again swoops down. He has other attacks that are quite easy to avoid. Like if he breathes fire to the ground, just avoid the ground and a + radius. The fire will remain there so avoid that too. If he rapidly swoops down at you, just try to jump to other directions to avoid. When his HP is below half, he will withdraw from the battle. *Trap Master* Challenge: Easy All you have to do here is to stand on the center and cast White - Vulcan. He will just die. Just avoid jumping too much and stepping on blinking platforms. You can die in this battle if you want. *Blood and Smokey* Challenge: Easy You can either use White - Vulcan or just attack them till they lose. It doesn't matter. *Gorotan* Challenge: Medium Avoid the star thingies that are around him and it will just go farther away from him, leaving himself unprotected from your beating. Go near him and cast Red - Napalm or just attack him to conserve MP, them immediately jump/run aside to avoid the lightning bolt. *Psycho Master* Challenge: Easy - Medium To defeat him, you have to attack his back. Never attack his front because he will grab you and deal you damage. If he throws certain attacks like a round thing that would move from his body to the outer surrounding areas and stuff, you can jump that attack. If he floating and trying to move closer to you, just run away and move in a circular motion around him. *Trap Master* Challenge: Easy - Medium Just use White - Vulcan while you are at the middle platform, he will just die and leave you nothing to worry about. If you wish to a have a flawless battle, if a shadow appears on top of you, get out of there because an spiked ball will fall. After that, do not step on the blinking platforms because they can deal you damage. *Maya* Challenge: Easy Just whack her till she dies. If she summon pumpkins, go whack them all to gain some HP or MP. But if she turns you into a pumpkin just jump and run around and she won't be able to get you. *Wylaf* Challenge: Medium - Hard Same things like the previous battle to take note hear. Avoid the + effect of his fire breath to the ground. Begin casting Blue - Icicle or press the attack button continuously before he even drops on the ground so that you can immediately damage him. Avoid the cyclones that he will be summoning or else it would take you to the sky and deal you damage. Also if he charges you, avoid it by jumping to another direction. *Psycho Master* Challenge: Easy - Medium Do not touch the invisible barrier because it will deal you damage. Note again that you can only attack him at his back. When he floats and chases you, run around the room (but avoid the invisible barrier) and around him. When he casts the blue floating things, just get hit by them, it is only cheap damage anyway. Use Blue - Restore if you want to Recover HP. *Doll Master* Challenge: Easy Just attack him or use White - Arrow. Don't even think of evading his attacks because they are pitiful. Since his efforts are pathetic, it could help his pride that he damaged you by a little bit or something. *Valen* Challenge: Medium Here, you have to damage Valen which is in Rue's body. You can use Yellow - Trine or Yellow - Final Flash when Valen is near you. Regain your HP by using Blue - Restore, and your MP by attacking the guy that Valen will summon. If he summons the guy, attack the guy until it is dead. If it is moving around while in a slicing pose, just jump when it is coming your way. If it is jumping around, just jump when it is about to land on the ground. When it is doing something stupid [like standing and doing some pose], attack it because it will restore Valen's health. *Valen* Challenge: Easy - Medium Here, the only time you can damage him when he is a bit red and that is after storming you with a White - Vulcan like attack. If you are low on HP, just use Blue - Restore and attack Valen six times when he is on the ground for a full MP (you can also restore MP in the same way). When he is flying, he will attempt to grab you so just run away from it and just run to some direction when it is going to blast you with the 2 barreled White - Vulcan like attack. When you are seeing an overhead view, it is preparing for the suck maneuver. Here, just run down and move left or right so you can avoid the shots and avoid getting sucked in. Now, when he is hovering, he will storm you with the White - Vulcan like attack. When that happens, set your magic to Yellow - Final Flash or Yellow - Trine and hold triangle while you are being hit with the White - Vulcan - like attack for an immediate fire. If you use Yellow - Final Flash, two of that would get rid of him. The true way to thrash Valen: by Dragoon Gohan (DragoonGohan@aol.com) - use gold color magic and cosmos. when he is in the sky, and ready to use a vulcan looking move, use the shield. then let go. the powered sheild will hit valen! repeat and rinse. heh heh. ###################### ## ---Cool Stuff--- ## ###################### After talking After talking to people or talking to the Johnny Wolf (most obvious way to see this), if you walk away, your head will still be turned towards their direction, until you have walked far enough. Outside the Carona Forest Atelier Try running around the perimeter of the place and looking at your shadow. The shadow depends on the lighting of the place. Pretty cool huh! (But it would only be available at the first time you come there.) Push the dog At certain times, you can push Johnny Wolf. Take him anywhere. Taking the dog for the walk Sometimes, if you talk to Johnny Wolf, he will follow you. Pushing pumpkins At the Klaus House when the 'trap', the pumpkins fall onto Mint's head, when they are on the ground, you can push them. Put them anywhere. Shake yo body! During the Bond with Prima (for Rue) or Together with Prima (for Mint) Chapter, Prima Doll is following you right, why don't you go to the Grasslands and talk to Johnny Wolf and he will follow Prima Doll, then talk to Rod, he will join the 'train' party. Now, Rue/Mint is followed by Prima Doll, which is followed by Johnny Wolf, and Rod is behind Johnny Wolf. You gotta see this, it looks silly, the four of them would be running around like crazy at the Grasslands. (though I haven't seen it yet) More shadows In the final battle (against Valen combined with Dewprism), you can see your shadow and his shadow. ++++++++++++++++++ ++ ---Rumors--- ++ ++++++++++++++++++ Just checkout GameFAQs' Threads of Fate Message Board, it would be somewhere there. http://cgi.gamefaqs.com/boards/gentopic.asp?board=24944 There are something like after playing both games, you have to finish the games together or something like that. (But recently I checked it and I couldn't find it) ####################### ## ---Game Quotes--- ## ####################### These are the cool game quotes that I cared to write while I was playing the game. The sad [;_;] part is that I only began taking down all of these near the end of Mint's game so I did not get them all. I plan to add some quotes that would really mean something but for now, have fun with the cool quotes I wrote down. ********************************************************** -Quotes that would make you think about them [at least a few seconds]- "A fight without heart is meaningless" - Rod "It's heart that matters." - Rod "Without heart, we are nothing" - Rod and Duke "When the master of the house falls, the house goes with him, at least that's what I've read" - Duke "As long as you're alive, there's always a chance... There's always hope." - Rue "Just ride the thing out and never give up." - Rod "Excessive power only leads to destruction. Do not make that mistake." - Maya "Damn, you're way too eager. You might end up dead if you don't take a deep breath and calm down. Remember, the secret to longetivity is composure." - Graham "Fulfilling duties for the sake of others is important at times.

Rue, if you wish to break out of your wretched destiny, follow your will to the end." - Wylaf "You are your own, now go, and carry out your will." - Wylaf "Your strength comes from your will, not from your duty. Indeed you wish to save Claire from with in you. It is your sworn promise. It is your will." - Wylaf "It is will. it's my will that comes from my heart." - Rue "I'm gonna live by my will." - Rue ********************************************************** -Quotes that are pretty cool [for me] (because it is quite rare for a LEAD FEMALE , [no you have to get this, LEAD FEMALE, I really mean LEAD FEMALE] character in an RPG to have these kinds of dialogues)- "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me funny? Is there a booger on my face?" - Mel "Pinto" - Mint "Yur a cockee buthed and Wer not gona forgiv you. Wer gona chop and womp yor sory but! Wer gona be at the forrest so you beter com!" - Blood and Smokey "Pulsar Infermo Typhoon Omega" - Mint "Pulser Inferno Typhoon Omega" - Mint "Quasar Inferno Typhoon Omega" - Mint "Pulsar Inferno Typhoon Gamma" - Mint "I am certain it is far beyond your comprehension Mint." - Prima Doll "Alright! Time for me to kick some major butt!" - Mint "I can't wait to wring her neck." - Mint "Yeah yeah, just shut up and let's fight" - Mint "That [expletive] bastard!!! He is sooo dead!!!" - Mint "Dooprison" - Elena "What are you, stupid or what? I'm here to kick your butt." - Trap Master "Hey I know, Belle's big butt is weighing us down." - Mint "(Barfing is always so refreshing.)" - Mint "That was one helluva ride was it. I tell ya, it was my heart that got us here." - Duke "Oh? Enlighten me. If you have come here for justice, it would be the joke of the century." - Doll Master "You pissed me off! Your sneaky, malicious character makes me sick! You're such a coward, picking on Prima, using an imposter for Maya, attacking a helpless town...! Just the sight of you makes me wanna strangle you." - Mint "SHUT UP! I'm gonna send you back to hell right now." - Mint "What is all this purification mumbo jumbo!?" - Mint ################## ## ---Thanks--- ## ################## - Thanks a lot to David Blake (iamnothing@inconnu.isu.edu) for answering my questions on how to make a good FAQ/Walkthrough and how to follow the guidelines properly.
