the following contains SPOILERS! if you don't really need help, i suggest you avoid this section! unless, of course, you're the kind of person who reads the last page of a book first! forest of silence ----------------- the beginning of the game is pretty linnear, so i'll start with the parts after you meet Puresea (in the big house). after you exit her house, go to the left into the forest. from there take the upper-left path. when it forks, take the left path. hit the giant plant monster with your sword and enjoy the cinema. take the path upward until you get to a spinning arrow. get the gems in the capsules, and take the path to the upper-left and when you get to the arrow again, it should be pointing to the lower- left. go that way this time. when you get to the broken bridge, remember to jump over it. my younger brother fell in a couple times :] if you jump over the crevice to the right, you can get a hit point and magic power-up. both not only refill your points, but also increase their maximums. once you're out of the forest, and after you watch the nice cinemas, go up the small mountain, and the big bubble-type thing in front of you is the Fountain of Eteruna. jump into it. inside you'll fight the things that each character loves most in life. for Hikaru it's her dog, for Umi it's her parents, and for Fuu it's herself. to kill the dog: use her magic to wound the dog, and attack him to get more magic points. to kill Umi's parents: use the same method as with the dog. to kill Fuu's copy: whenever you attack Fuu's copy, both of you are hurt. but you'll notice that she gives a magic point every time you hit her, so use your magic (it's heal magic) every time you can to keep yourself alive. after you've defeated everyone, make your way back thru the forest to Puresea's house. go into the library. after the cinema is over, exit the house and go to the right. enter the door to get to Magicians Breeze. Magicians Breeze (a town) ------------------------- you need to first speak with the brown-haired man in the house in the lower-left hand corner of the town. Then talk to the little kid just to the left of the house (up the steps). Next talk to the man with the purple cloth on his head in the upper-right hand corner of the town. Now go to the big house in the middle of the town and speak with the man with the yellow robe and hood. He should speak quite a bit and see spots if you've done everything correctly. You can now exit the town and enter the cave. miscellaneous: in the small shop at the top of the town you can get fortunes. The Cave of Izanai ------------------ after you push the block that Rukino (the guy with the purple cloth on his head) is trying to push, you'll see five passages. the quickest route is to go thru the second passage from the right. the second passage from the left contains a health medicine. in the part with two buttons on the floor, push the block onto one of them and press the other; the door will open. once thru the door there will be a large ball and Rukino will appear.he'll roll the ball towards you, and you'll need to go over to the right of it and push it. it will destroy the wall to the left and let you continue. after that Rukino will drop four blocks and you'll need to push one out of the way to pass. attack the glowing button on the wall and a piece of floor will appear. jump onto it to pass. next there will be a moving floor, jump onto but go to the right first. Fuu will get a new magic here. go back to the moving floor and this time go to the left. here you'll need to select her new magic with Z (or whatever you've got your magic select button set to) and use it to get past Rukino. to kill the spider: he's pretty easy to kill, but i'd recommend you use your power-ups and magic a lot. when he disperses the blue stars, stand directly under him so the you're inside the circle. but don't stand there too long or he'll squash you! after you kill him, go back to Magician's Breeze and exit the town thru the upper-right. dealing with the typhoon at the beach ------------------------------------- go to the right and talk to everyone (including inside the houses). then go off to the left and talk to everyone there. the girl in the top house will ask you to go get Karutasu (the brown-haired guy in the lower-left hand house in Magician's Breeze). now when you go back to Sera's house, Karutasu will be there. he'll see you, and throw you into the ocean. here you'll learn to swim (well, all except Fuu that is hehe). to swim simply press the attack button repeatedly. now hop into the ocean and swim straight upwards. there will be a cave. to the left of the cave is a magic power-up, also. once inside the cave, you'll see two ice blocks in front of you. use Hikaru's fire magic to melt them. jump across the river. go to the right and down thru the passage. head left to get a rainbow amulet. go back up and jump across the water over to the chest where you can get another rainbow amulet. keep going to your right. in the next room push two of the ice blocks onto buttons and step on the third to remove the wall in front of you. go down the stairs, and at the bottom of this room you'll notice two passages. take the second first (on the right) to get a new magic. then come back and go thru the first. in the room with the four ice 'rocks,' you'll need to use Hikaru's new magic to melt them all. in the area with the big spikey bubble and the black ball, you need to use Fuu's bow and arrow to shoot the black ball; the spikey bubble will then disappear. in the room with five buttons and four blocks, here is what to do: ____ ____ | B2 | | I2 | ____ ____ |____| |____| | I3 | B3 | | I1 | | B5 | |____|____| |____| |____| | B1 | ____ ____ |____| | I4 | | B4 | |____| |____| push I1 onto B1, I2 onto B2, I3 onto B3, I4 onto B4, and then step on B5. the door will then open. after you fight Jiminii, Umi will get her Mashin. go back into the ocean and exit the area via the dock in the upper-right hand corner. roozen of white snow (not sure on this translation, it's the snowy town) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ talk to Karugina (the dancer) first, then to the large guy with the blonde hair. then talk to Ferio (green-haired guy playing the flute). next you'll need to go to the inn just to the left of where Ferio is. talk to the girl with the pink hair and answer 'hai' (first option) to her question. now you need to go up to the cave that Ferio is standing in front of. talk to him and then enter the cave. the cave of gathering --------------------- go straight upward and attack the black ball. turn right at the ball. when you get to the area with lots of water,lots of sharks, and the railway all meet, you need to go upward and find the mirror that will give Umi a new magic. go back to the large pool of water, and head left. go down and step onto the big grey platform. this will take you overtop of that pool of water. check *every* path as there are a *lot* of items you can get here! after you're done searching, go back to the pool of water and head left again. this time go up instead of down, and step onto the pad. when you get to the area with the four torches use Umi's new water magic to extinguish them and open the gates. follow the railway upwards to the grey pad. fighting Karugina: i personally used nothing more than Fuu's power-up and her heal magic. back at the snowy town ---------------------- i'm not sure if you need to, but i talked to the innkeeper again. i then went up to the house at the very top of the town (the one with the block of ice in the doorway). here Rafaaga will try to teach you how to break thru the ice like he did. Hikaru will eventually get it when a mushi (insect) scares the hell out of Umi :] after you leave the house, go straight down to where there is ice on the ground. slide down and enter the cave. to break the rocks, simply run into them. i couldn't figure out how to get to the other cave. if anyone knows how, please let me know. now you need to go to the left, and up to where the two glass tunnels are. break the ice blocking the wall by running into it. the journey down into the earth ------------------------------- be remembering that you can run and break things. also, in the area with two lava monsters and the four blocks, you can break the blocks by attacking them. you can get a rainbow amulet by breaking the brown rock to the right. there is another rainbow amulet just below that (on a small piece of hovering land). you *can* get it now, but you'll have to kill yourself just after (since there is no way to get back). it'll restart you at the beginning but with all your possesions. however, i would suggest waiting until you get dash. . . when you get to the next four grey blocks, you can break them by attacking them (just as before). be sure to get the rainbow amulet first, tho :] and watch out for the falling rocks in the next part! once you get to the flaming town, the people will tell you there is a boy trapped in the burning house. . . inside the burning house ------------------------ in here you need to gather different colored keys to unlock the different colored doors. sometimes there will be rather large holes in the floor, and it may seem that you cannot jump over them. but if you dash, you can jump farther. so give it a shot, as sometimes you'll need to. the red and blue keys are easy to find, but to get the green key, you'll need to fall down a hole. it's kind of hard to describe in text, but knowing that should be enough. fighting the flaming skulls: i used a combination of Hikaru's power-up, Fuu's power-up + heal magic, and Umi's water magic. once you get the boy and leave the house, don't forget to talk to the blonde-haired woman. there is also a health power-up in the upper-left hand corner of the town. The Tree of Life (in the town with lots of water and magic stuff) ----------------------------------------------------------------- be sure to check all of the lamp posts in this town, as there are a lot of rainbow amulets hidden behind them (talk to them). you need to go to the hospital where a nurse will tell you they need a leaf from the Tree of Life to cure the sick people. you'll volunteer, of course. exit the hospital and you'll bump into Abeniiru (green-haired fellow; very tall), where he'll not only show you dashing, but also ask Umi out on a date :] next you need to go to the upperleft hand corner of the town and make your way to the tree of life. when you get there, they'll realize they need to be able to dash to get thru what's blocking the entrance. so now you need to go back to the town to ask Abeniiru to teach you to dash. Abeniiru will ask Umi if she changed her mind about the date thing, and Umi *really* doesn't like him.. so eventually a little brown-haired boy will teach them how to dash. now you'll need to go back up to the upper-left corner and make your way back to the tree of life. you can now break thru the debris by dashing (press your dash button -- mine was setup to be X). inside the Tree of Life ----------------------- when you get to the green animated grass, be sure to fall off to the right first to get the Rainbow Amulet. there is also another rainbow amulet you can get like this: on the second floor (has two purple shell-bugs) exit to the right and go up four levels. enter the hole to the left here. fall down the hole in the floor and attack the green bridge plant thingy. warp back up. exit to the right and go back down three levels. dash thru the debris to get back into the tree. step on the warp thing. dash thru the next two walls and kill all the bugs. fall down the hole that is just above the warp thing. go to your left now and fall down the hole. go down and step on the warp. now go up and step on this warp. next fall down the hole that just right next to the warp. now use Fuu's bow and arrows to hit the bridge plant to your right. dash and jump over to it, go down, and dash to break thru the rotten vine and then thru the door. go down a level, and enter the door thru the right. dash thru the door to the left, and you can get the next amulet. BTW, you'll need to do the above to get thru the tree of life! in the room with the chest that is surrounded by mushrooms,simply kill all of the enemies to remove some of the mushrooms so you can get the health medicine. fighting Arushione: just use everyone in your party, and remember that you can dash. be sure to hit the moth quickly when it switches to him, because he heals the other two. use Umi's and Hikaru's attack magics and power-ups. after you kill Arushione, go thru the hole to the left to get the leaf you were searching for. i'll explain a little about the next cinema. Asukotto has betrayed Zagaato and Zagaato is just a tad pissed off. but Karugina (peach-haired girl) explains that he's probably only befriended the Magic Knights to spy on them. since she really loves her little brother, she'll make up anything to keep him alive. because, of course, anyone who betrays Zagaato won't live for very long . . . and as you've probably noticed, Karugina and Arushione aren't getting along too well . . . now you need to talk to Abeniiru, and then to Arutina (the nurse) in the hospital. then make your way to the bottom of the town, where you'll talk with Asukotto (he says he's Aruto) and he'll ask to come with you. go straight down now and leave the town. rock attack/big waterfall (hey, that's what it says when you save it :]) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ go down first and get the health power-up. be sure to also search the water next to it to find a rainbow amulet. keep going down the stairs and when you get to the three pots, search the top one to get another rainbow amulet. now go back upstairs and go to the right where the large rock is. Asukoto will destroy it. follow the golden bridge until you get to Arushione. when she disappears, Karugina will appear and break the bridge. you'll fall into the water and enter the big cave. inside the big cave ------------------- in the room with several blocks, push the two outer blocks upward and then do the same with the middle. then push the middle one to the left so you can fit thru the doorway. once thru the doorway, attack the two blocks and push the ball forward. then push the block that is near the button upward, and then push the ball to the left so it pushes the button. in the next room, push the block so it sits directly in the middle of the doorway. push the ball on the right to the left. then push the other ball upward so it hits the block. now push it to the left so it rests on the button and the door will open. be sure not to touch the floor to the left in this room, it hurts you. from here you can go either left or right. go left first. jump over the hole. here's how to solve the puzzle: legend: L? = a ball B? = a block bb = the button P? = a position to move something to ____ ____ ____ / L1 \| P5 | / L2 \ \____/|____|________________ \____/ | | | | ____ |____ ____ ____ ____| | P2 || P7 | | bb | P4 | P3 | |____||____| |____|____|____| | P1 || P6 | | |____||____| | ____ |_____________________| ____ | B1 | | B2 | |____| |____| move B1 up to P1, L1 down to P2, B2 up to P3, P2 (which is the ball L1) over to P4, P1 up to where L1 started, L2 over to P5, then move the block on the place where L1 started down to P6, then L2 down to P7, and finally, move L2 onto bb. sorry if I've *really* confused you :] now go thru the door and get the rainbow amulet and magic power-up that you worked so hard for . go back to where the road splits and this time go to the right. here is how you solve this puzzle: ____ ____ ____ / L1 \ | b1 | b2 | ____ \____/ ____|____|____| / L2 \ | b3 | b4 | \____/ |____|____| ____ / L3 \ ____\____/ / L4 \ \____/ push L3 up, L1 to the right, L4 up, and then L2 to the right. in the next room, push the block onto the button. exit the door, and go around to the right and attack the block thru the wall. in the next room, attack the block and push the other upward (but not so it touches the one above). push the one just above it to the right onto the button. the move the one that was above it down to the middle of the '+' that the floor makes, and then push it left onto the other button. next push the first block down onto the bottom button. in the room with the dinosaur skeleton, simply attack him when he's over top of the button, and quickly run out. in the room just after the little green jelly things, simply force the 'bug' to walk over the button and attack him to stun him momentarily. in the next room, step on the button to open the door, and follow the little fireballs out thru the right. enter the door and stun (don't use a power-up) the bug when he's overtop of the button. in the room after that, simply take advantage of the fact that the enemies follow you and get them to step on the buttons. there is a small invisible bug in the next room. just find him and kill him (you can see him only when you hit him). just break the blocks on the sides in the next room to pass. in the next room that has the extinguished torch, use Hikaru's fire magic to light it, go thru the door, and then use Umi's water magic to put the fire out again. in the next area just push the left-most button first and go thru the door on the upper-left to get a new magic. then push the button to the right and go thru the door on the upper-right. to kill the dinosaur skeletons, just use Umi's new magic. run thru the area with the laser-posts or, well, you'll get shot :] the next area you'll be in has invisible floors that appear when you get near them. you should find two rainbow amulets (one in the door to the upper-left and the other just to the right of that door). push the button in the lower-right hand corner of the room to open the door in the upper- right. break all the blocks in this room to reveal a health power-up. the next room (this is getting a tad repetitive, nee?) has a *lot* of invisible enemies, so use Fuu's power-up attack to kill them. to kill Karugina: just use everything you've got! make use of Fuu's power-up attack and heal magic, as well as Umi and Hikaru's attack magics. after you exit the cave, go to the right to get to the next town. at the Lake of Rekuido ---------------------- again, as always, be sure to check every object in this (and all) town(s) because items are hidden everywhere. first, you need to go to the house with the elevator-type thing and talk to the black haired kid. next, go talk to his father and you'll go to sleep for the night. during the night, you'll hear some loud noises, and jump out of bed. go to the small island in the middle of the lake and the rocks that were there before will be gone. go up to the top of the island, and "talk" to the button on the right. the island will move, and you need to exit to the right. east of the lake ---------------- at the first bridge hop into the water and swim as far downward and to the right as you can and get the chest. go across the next bridge now and then up and left across the other bridge. go up the ladder, get the chest, and come back down the ladder again. go to the right and downward until you get to the stairs. in the next screen up there is a path to the right. take it, and to blow the leaves off the hole in the ground use Fuu's wind magic. then drop down the hole, and go up the ladder. take the path to the left here. go up and left to the bridge -- do *not* fall into the river! it takes you back to the (almost) beginning. next you'll need to attack the tree at the end (in the upper-left hand corner). now go just to the left of the chest and down to find another chest. after that, go back to the other chest and this time go to the right, move the block, and get this chest. next go straight up thru the opening in the rocks. go up and to the right, and hop into the lake with the lilypad in the middle. fall down the small waterfall, and go underneath the bridge. exit the water to your right, and climb up the ladder. go to where the small broken bridge is, and jump off, and fall off the right side of the water- fall. go up the ladder and dash thru the boulder to get into the cave. inside the cave you'll find the East Medal. now you need to go back to the rock island and push the other button. . . west of the lake ---------------- in the middle of the lake you're at when you first enter the area,there is a chest. now go straight up, then all the way left, and down again. there is a waterfall that falls three levels, go to the second level (via the stairs) and hop across the waterfall to get to another chest. go back up the stairs, and right until you get to a grey bridge. just below that bridge, you'll see two caves. you need to enter the one on the left. so fall down the waterfall to your left and enter it. when you get to the area with the big waterfall and the chest that is surrounded by green bushes (and water),fall down the left waterfall (*not* the right one! it takes you to the very beginning!) and go a bit to the right until you see stairs leading up to that chest. now go up the stairs and head left until you see a cave. that cave has a fountain to heal you. go up the stairs to your left to get a chest. to get rid of the pink tree blocking the other stairs, use Hikaru's fire magic to engulf the tree, and then Umi's water magic to extinguish it. go down from here until you see a cave with a large boulder in front of it. dash thru it and get the West Medal. go back to the rock island. . . back at the rock island ----------------------- save your game, and then insert the medals into their slots on the island. do this by "talking" to them. the island will begin to shake, and you'll find out soon that it's really a giant turtle. to kill the turtle: he's really easy to defeat. just use power-up attacks and some attack magics. stay away from his tail, and watch out when his head darts at you. Sky Park Eiaria (quite possibly "Ariel") ---------------------------------------- first talk with Ferio. then go to the inn and sleep. now go talk with Rafaaga (tall blonde-haired guy). next go to the palace and talk with the old man in the yellow robe. he'll throw have you thrown out. talk to him again, and this time he'll have you thrown into prison. Fuu will pick the lock, and then you need to find the room with the ugly sofa and fireplace. be sure not to let the guards see you or they'll throw you back into prison. the room you need to find is up the stairs (to the right). once you've found it, switch to Fuu and search the fireplace. now you'll be out of the palace. you'll need to now talk with Ferio again (note: be sure not to talk with the old man again or he'll have you thrown back into prison again). now go talk to Rafaaga again, and then leave thru the gate. in the maze ----------- go left and up, and dash thru the run-down windmill. when you get to the next area with moving platforms, you need to attack the black ball. then go all the way down and use Fuu to shoot the next black ball that will be on your left. go down and get the chest. next you need to go to the right and shoot the black ball you'll see. now go up, and then head left. when you get to the area with the pink birds, be sure to kill them all and exit to the right. if you don't kill them all, the exits will be blocked. in the next area with moving platforms, you need to head left, but one of the platforms takes a long time to come onto the screen, so just be patient. the next floating platform area contains a mirror where Fuu will get a new magic (flying). be sure to go up first to get the chest. now go back to the right until you see the land that forms an arrow pointing downward. use Fuu's new magic to fly across. when you get to the stairs that have a break in the wall separating them, you need to go to your left and downward. jump upward to get a chest, and then go back to the stairs and take the right side upwards to get yet another chest. go back down the stairs, and go up the left side. you'll get to an open area with two sets of stairs going down: one on the left side of the screen, and one on the bottom. go down the stairs on the bottom and don't step on any of the flowers or spikes will come up preventing you from getting the health power-up. now take the stairs to the left. fighting Arushione's bird: when he flaps his wings and creates wind, run towards the bird to keep from getting blown off. watch out for the feathers he leaves behind, as they hurt you as well. just use everything you've got. go up to the grey pad with wings to get to the Forest of Sazameki. Forest of Sazameki ------------------ there is a health powerup hidden in the screen to the left of the grey pad with wings. go to the top left of the area, and there is a secret passage thru the trees. go down, and then to the right. enter the house now and talk with Rafaaga and then to the old man who's wandering around. go back to the city with the tree of life and talk with the nurse in the hospital. she'll give you a serum to make Rafaaga better. go back to Rafaaga and talk to him. when you exit the house, go straight up and find another secret passage thru the trees that takes you to the big open area above. to defeat Rafaaga: i actually only used Umi's power-up attack. he's not that difficult. now go back down to the house and find the secret passage in the trees below the house. there will be a road down there now. take this road to the left and go straight up till you get to the area that was a victom of the volcano. go left from here over the river and into the city. back at Magician's Breeze ------------------------- if you missed the magic power-up the first time around (just after you learned how to swim), you can get it now. right when you get into the city (at the bridge) hop off the bridge and swim upward a bit. you'll see it. here you need to talk with the two old men again (the one in the yellow robe and the one with the purple cloth over his head [Rukino]). then go to the lower-left of the city to exit, but be sure to talk with the green- haired kid first, as he gives you something (sorry, i forgot what it was). go down a couple screens until you get to the volcano. in the volcano -------------- when you get to the two sets of stairs going off to the left and to the right, go to the right. go down and get the chest, and then go up and jump across to the other path. a boulder will fall, but you can get around it. you can't, however, get around the second boulder that falls just in front of the magic power-up. jump over onto to the moving platform, and then onto the platform to the left, and then up. go up the stairs, left, down, and then right. get the chest, and head back. jump across to your right to get to the large set of stairs and get a chest there also. go back down the stairs and go up and around so you can get the magic power- up. from there go straight up the stairs to exit the area. when you get to the area with the golden fountain, use Umi's water magic to make it usable. you'll need to exit this area to the upper-right. you can squeeze thru the line of boulders to the left of the fountain. be sure to check all around for chests. in the next area there are no chests, but there is a health power-up, so keep an eye out for it. exit, again, via the upper-right. to defeat Arushione: i used Umi's power-up attack a couple times, Hikaru's new magic, and Fuu's power-up attack. just stay away from the lava and ice she throws, and try not to let her knock you off the rock. now you need to go back to Puresea's house. back at Puresea's house ----------------------- if you got the photo of her from the Rainbow Shop,she'll take it the first time you talk with her. talk to her again. after you go thru her little secret door, you need to step on the red gem in the middle of the circle. talk with everyone and then to Kurefu and answer Hai (first option) to his question. to defeat the Mecha boss: just use everything. no real tactic. avoid his sword and use Fuu to kill the little yellow things he fires. to defeat Emeroodo Hime: well, first time around, there is no way to kill her :] but when you fight her again, be sure to attack her arms and horns so she can't fire things at you. and then go for her head. now, watch the ending! hope you enjoyed it as much as i did! *==========================================================================*
