A. INRO AND LECTURE

   THIS GAME RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHYEAH!!!! great RPG!! classic!!! epic!!! well, I bet you already know this, so enough of that.



DO NOT STEAL THIS FAQ!!!! you know what I'm talking about! If you would like to put this FAQ on your site, just email me, I'm not unreasonable, I just want my credit. If you wish to PUBLISH this FAQ in a magazine, then I would like a free copy of that magazine, or just give me credit for my work. (ahahaha, man that'd be coool) and make sure to email me BEFORE it goes to print



TRY TO PLAY THE GAME YOURSELF FIRST! come on! be a man! be a woman! be a gamer!!! this is cheating if ever there was cheating, and mainly it cheats you out of your own accomplishments

use this for a second run, or if you are stuck or something harsh like that...or be a cheater, I don't mind



THIS IS NOT A DISCOVERY GUIDE!! that online map does it best, and I don't wanna run thru all the sayings, cause sometimes they change, and someone else is doing that...

DISCOVERIES ARE A LARGE PART OF THE GAME, when you run across islands and generally fly thru the air, sometimes your compass will spin wildly, pressing the "A" button will reveal a DISCOVERY, once you find a DISCOVERY, go to a SAILOR'S GUILD and sell that info for good money, the longer you wait, the more chance Domingo will beat you to it, also, you can buy info to hint at where to find a discovery, and if you find one, but wait a long time to report it, you will get far less cash for it. There will be a FEW discoveries mentioned in this FAQ cause you need to make some for certain other events to go down



  This game rules, there should be several FAQs for it, consider this my offering to the cool people that made this game for me to play. That and the fifty bucks I paid for it....



B. WALKTHRU/FAQ!!!!



BATTLE SYSTEM

Wow, this system is very nice! you have attacks and spells like any good RPG, but you also have the SPIRIT POINT SYSTEM (SP) all the cool stuff in this game requires the use of SP.  Magic Spells always cost ONE MP, but depending on the power, will cost SEVERAL SP.  Your party has ONE spirit bar, and you all will share that pool of SP.  Depending on you WILL and your LEVEL, you will start a battle with a set number of SP, and you have a MAX value you can achieve. Each ROUND of battle, you will add the value of SP you started with to the value of SP you currently possess. In your choice of actions, you have one called "FOCUS" which causes that character to "build up"some extra SP.  SP WINS BATTLES! you NEED SP to do all the power moves in the game! Try to raise SP as soon as possible.



S moves are very important. These moves are yet another choice for each turn of battle. They require only SP to be performed. Usually these are the most damaging moves in the game. Each character has a set number of S moves they can learn. To learn S moves you need MOONBERRIES. MOONBERRIES are found in treasure chests, on the Pinta Quest, and dropped from battles. More on these in the character lists.



Moonstone System: you will gain moonstones during this game. There are Six, each has a specific color. During battles, you can change the color of your weapon to the color of any moonstone you possess.  This affects several things. First of all, when you see an enemy in battle, you can see a set of boxes in the top right corner, the border will be a color, most colors/moonstones have OPPOSING moonstones, some are weak to one type and strong against another. Also, when the battle ends, you will gain points towards magic spells based on whatever moonstone power you have on your weapon at that time. If you want to learn Purple spells, have a purple moonstone effect on your weapon.  When more than one moonstone is in effect, everyone gets *some* points for each color, but will gain the most points for whatever color individually equipped.

IMPORTANT: SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE CONFUSED BY THE MANUAL

****THIS IS THE MOONSTONE CHART****

RED beats GREEN

PURPLE and RED are equally strong against each other, and very strong at that

BLUE beats RED

PURPLE beats BLUE

GREEN beats PURPLE

YELLOW beats BLUE

GREEN DESTROYS YELLOW

SILVER and YELLOW are equally strong against each other



Swashbuckler System: you will be ranked as a swashbuckler by choices throughout the game. Often you will be asked a question, and will have multiple allowed responses. Choosing wisely will allow you to gain a better reputation. It's been said that fighting battles will also increase your rating, and running will decrease it. Try to remember: Being Brave is NOT the same as being Reckless!



Magic:

as stated, ONE MP per spell, but MUCHO SP if it's a powerful spell

each moonstone/color set has SIX SPELLS, usually four levels of ATTACK and two STATUS EFFECTS

here's the list of spells, what they do, and required SP, NOT in the order learned:

GREEN SPELLS:

1. Sacri, heals one ally for 500, 2

2. Sacres, heals one ally for 1000, 4

3. Sacrum, heals ALL allies for 1000, 8

2. Pyres, fire damage on ALL enemies, 4

3. Pyrum, fire damage on ALL enemies, 6

4. Pyrulen, fire damage on ALL enemies, 10

5. Increm, raise ATTACK and DEFENSE of ONE ally by 25%, 4

6. Incremus, raises ATTACK and DEFENSE of ALL allies by 25%, 16

PURPLE SPELLS

1. Crystali, ice damage on one enemy, 1

2. Crystales, ice damage on one enemy, 2

3. Crystaleum, ice damage on one enemy, 3

4. Crystalen, ice damage on one enemy, 4

5. Sylenis, prevents spellcasting of one target by silencing them, 2

6. Panika, causes confusion on one target, 3

3. Electrum, hits a LINE of enemies with lightning, 6

4. Electrulen, hits a LINE of enemies with lightning, 8

5. Eternes, instant death to ALL enemies, may not hit at all, 10

6. Eternum, instant death to one enemy, if target is immune, they will recieve damage, 15



CREW COMMAND:

once you have your own ship and some crew members you are given a new/hidden attack choice

first, you must MAX out your SP bar, then the CREW command is available to you

you can either choose to have your crew members band together for an attack/heal combo

or you can have your battle party do a massive attack, as long as all four are in good health

the PROPHECY attack is pure attack power

the BLUE ROGUE mode splits the damage of PROPHECY in half, and uses half the points towards damage on the enemy, and half towards healing your party



SHIP BATTLES:

YEAHHHHH!!!! THESE ARE COOL!!!!

when you run into another bad ship or a really big monster, you get into a SHIP BATTLE!!!!

The way this works is this; you get a grid displaying the next round, you will have as many turns in a round as you have characters in your battle party. You will assign each member to a turn, and then you will see that round played out. You will also see a "guide" to each turn, in the form of a colored dot or icon above that turn, a GREEN dot means you will recieve low damage, or the enemy will miss, it's also possibly that you have a better chance to hit and do damage, YELLOW means medium danger, and RED means a super attack or a round where you are really vulnerable. a C! means you will probably hit and get a critical one at that, and for your SPECIAL CANNON, you will see a special icon of it in a particular round, that is the ONLY time you can use that SPECIAL CANNON, when you see the icon. SPECIAL CANNONS use up a LOT of SP, and you will see the NEXT rounds turn options, so you will know this is coming.  SOMETIMES you will see the NEXT round flipping, this means a SWASHBUCKLER situation is coming up, or rather a chance situation, you will often get a direct choice to "fall back" or "press the attack" doing so will result in one of the two flipping round selections. SOMETIMES you are not given a choice, and you must guess and act accordingly.

 

CHARACTERS IN YOUR PARTY: you will almost always have Vyse, Aika, and Fina, and you will often have a fourth person in your party...



VYSE: the main man, the swashbuckler, YOU, whatever ya wanna call him....

good attack, not so good magic

BOSS ENCOUNTER: Antonio - YELLOW

watch out for its THUNDER OF FURY attack, it hits in a line and does great damage!

have Aike Focus, and have Vyse use Cutlass Fury as much as possible, and since the boss's moonstone power is YELLOW, be sure you are set to GREEN



Once this battle ends, you will have some story cutscenes, enjoy!

SB RANK! when discussing Fina's Name, the best response is: "Great Name"



Now you have control of DYNE' S SHIP, and your mission is to fly HOME

you will be aimed directly on the correct path as soon as it starts, so don't go spinning around wildly, head SOUTH (note: that tiny little island right in front of you has a DISCOVERY: press "A")

THE SHRINE

run up and inside....

SB RANK! when asked how you should obtain the treasure, for best results, choose: "DRAIN"

now, run around the circular path to the only door you can reach, go outside...

Search the BIG CRYSTAL, then run to the right for a TREASURE: Sacri Crystal 2

now go back inside, notice those CIRCULAR TORCH holders, cross the line coming from one, and it will LIGHT UP, make sure to do this to ALL of them, run back around to the other door, and go thru

follow the only available path, down a ladder, to the door, and open it do begin the draining...

once inside this door, head LEFT to doorway in tiny hall, go outside and around the path for a TREASURE: Moonberry 1...return to inside and go to the RIGHT, make sure to light those torches!!

go up and around to the next door, but grab that TREASURE: Sacri Crystal 2 before you go...

down the ladder and to a door with a SAVE POINT in front, open and drain the door, and go in.



BOSS ENCOUNTER: Sentinel - SILVER

This one is easy, the first round and then every other round after, it will do a TARGET SEARCH that does ZERO DAMAGE, giving you a free turn for half the battle!

watch out for the BLASTER ATTACK, it hits in a line/cone area and does fair damage

just focus and use Cutlass Fury a lot.

ENJOY the cutscene, if you can...



*PIRATE ISLE PROBLEMS

go into the PIRATE BASE (on the left, behind the house beside the turnip garden, search the rock wall)

be the hero!



get on the boat, and fly NORTH past SHRINE ISLE and slightly EAST, you should see a mountain with a tunnel at the bottom, soon you will be overcome by FOG

SB RANK! it's big as an island, you only have a sword, for best results "RETREAT" from the monster



you will wake up on a ship, and an old guy will be very angry with you

to earn your ride, you must bring up TWO BOXES, go down ONE flight of stairs, and search the TWO BOXES that look alike, brown with gray trim...enjoy your labor



Take the helm and go to SAILOR' S ISLE!! ahh cool!, it is NORTHEAST, you go under that tunnel, and then you can see it easily! time to land



*SAILOR' S ISLE

go to the back, and up the LIGHTHOUSE ladder, look for the window that has a RED BALLOON, and search it for a NOTE IN A BOTTLE

go behind the big WHITE SIGN that is next to the SAILOR' S GUILD, in the corner is a TREASURE: Repair Kit 3

go to the upstairs of the INN, the room on the LEFT has a TREASURE: 200 GOLD

go into the WEAPON shop to get PINTA's QUEST! (talk to the little chubby dude)

go to the SHIP PARTS store, and talk with the owner: NOW you have info for Drachma!

go to the TAVERN, and talk to Drachma

SB RANK! he wants info, you want a ride, he's stubbor, so for best results: "BEAT AROUND THE BUSH"

go into the SAILOR' S GUILD and talk to the owner

SB RANK! you need the pass, don't be stupid, for best results: "ACCEPT" the offer

finish prep, and leave town...



Follow the DIRECTIONS, take the stone reef, and follow that, eventually, right before you get to Nasr you will face a...



BOSS SHIP ENCOUNTER: Blackbeard, ship of Baltor the Black Pirate

do what you feel is best, try to FOCUS with some, and attack during C! turns

at the DECISION POINT, choose to "GO BEHIND" to get a round of all C! turns

kick butt, and don't bother to rue anything hehe



FINALLY you get to Nasr, and the merchant gives you the VALUAN PASSPORT

head to VALUA, it is NORTHWEST of NASR, you will see a yellowish mountain zone with black clouds

follow around the mountain, til you see a giant wall and floating guns...



*VALUA LOWER CITY

circle around the second level to get to the other side of the gate where you see a TREASURE: Sacres Crystal 2

roam around and talk to MARCO, then go to the GREEN CART, and flip the RED SWITCH, get on the cart and go to the other half of LOWER CITY, DO NOT GO TO THE INN YET

search around until you find a few BARREL STACKS between two structures, you will come down a ladder, and then a few steps, and then you should see it, weave behind them, search the area and find a TREASURE: Moonberry 1

don't forget to check the WEAPON and ITEM shops, for upgrading

now go back to the INN....

SB RANK! out of three choices, for best result: "SNEAK IN" for your rescue attempt



CHASE!!!! gotta chase the spy!!! follow the YELLOW ARROWS, the first two sets of YELLOW ARROWS give you choices, if you take the far LEFT choice both times, you will get a TREASURE: Sacri Crystal 1

then follow the rest of the ARROWS til you catch the little dude...now you have a mission and a plan!!!



*CATACOMBS!

follow the only path until you find a split, go LEFT for TREASURES: Pyri Box 1 and Curia Crystal 3

go back to the path, and continue, run down the steps for TREASURES: Heavy Armor 1 and Assassin Blade 1

go back up the steps and take the turn for the rest of the path, to a SAVE POINT

****HINT**** you might wanna try PINTA's QUEST now, to get a few more healing items...the next battles are the toughest in the game, in my opinion...try to be around level 10 or so....

run up the steps for another



BOSS ENCOUNTER: Bleigock - GREEN

it has two special attacks that hit EVERYONE

Poisonous Bile may also poison 

Frost Breath does ICE damage

FOCUS or use Drachma's second Smove to build up SP

then unleash Cutlass Furies or Tackles



once you've won, go BACK AND SAVE and heal up, the real tough battle is up that ladder!!

go up, and yet another



BOSS ENCOUNTER: Executioner - YELLOW, 2 Spell Wardens - YELLOW

BEWARE the Executioner's TACKLE, especially if one of the wizards casts INCREMA on him!!

it does MASSIVE damage! and hits in a cone pattern, try to stay at full HP

also, SONIC WAVE is a line attack that does ok damage

the Spell Wardens will cast helpful spells, like healing and power up, as well as some offensive spells

Aika's second Smove renders spells useless against your allies, so if you have that, it might be a good choice

if you have Tackle and Cutlass Fury, however, you may want to cast Increma on one of those and try to kill the Executioner before he can TACKLE anyone, then mop up



RESCUE FINA

Go back to the SAVE POINT, talk to MARCO, go in the passageway....

TREASURES: Sacri Crystal 4 and Magic Droplet 4

talk to DYNE

SB RANK! you're a hero, you like cute chicks, for best results: "RESCUE FINA"

follow the only path up to UPPER VALUA, the old man on the bench asks you a question, just answer honestly, it doesn't seem to matter

go up the bridge and see your target! time to ride the rail cars!!!

run to the front, and don't run back towards Galcian...

you will enounter pairs of PATROL GUARDS - YELLOW as the only enemies on the railcars

get to Fina, and you will have yet another



BOSS ENCOUNTER: 2 Royal Guards - YELLOW

pain in the BUTT, these guys....one almost always gets into a COUNTERSTANCE

they have healing and massive defense! try to build SP to max,, then unleash Cutlass Fury as much as you can! it'll take some time....



win and be rescued! yay! now you need to escape Valua, but to do that you need to fight..



BOSS SHIP ENCOUNTER: Valuan Ship

just build up SP, it can't kill ya in one round, use the SPECIAL CANNON as soon as you can, and destroy the poor ship, make escape and go home!



SB RANK! Fina has a quest, you have wanderlust, for best results: "GO ON THE QUEST" 

Fina is now part of your group, and you meet Cupil, meaning it's TIME TO WATCH FOR CHAMS!

ones in places you've already been to:

PIRATE ISLE BASE, on the catwalks, you'll find the CHAM, you have to go here to leave, so you'll run into it

leave and go to SHRINE ISLE, go inside the shrine, you'll hear the beep, feel the jump pack, but to get it, go around and outside, and around til you can come back inside, once inside the door, run to the LEFT and find the CHAM

go to SAILOR'S ISLE and up into the LIGHTHOUSE for another CHAM

there are new things for sale, and a "wandering merchant" in the INN

stock up, and head towards the RED MOON...



since you have the harpoon cannon, you can now pass thru STONE REEFS, and this means you can make a few DISCOVERIES for some loot!



Go EAST from Sailor's Isle, thru the STONE REEF to the town of MARAMBA

DUE east of sailor's isle is the Pyrynn Temple DISCOVERY (you will be transported here later anyway)



*MARAMBA

lot's to do here!

go to the INN, upstairs and outside for a CHAM!, and a TREASURE: Magic Droplet 3

talk to the guy on the ramp next to the big pink DHABU, and get on for a ride!

you can walk on rooftops, there are treasures to be found up there!

roof of WEAPON SHOP TREASURE: Slipara Box 1

roof with man on top, go inside and downstairs for TREASURE: Nasr Combat Mail

now go thru that GATE to the other part of maramba

roof of TAVERN TREASURE: 300 Gold

go down the ladder into the "sewers"

take the LEFT path all the way to the other side, go up the ladder

get TREASURE: Moonberry 1

inside the sewers, you must press large "buttons" to make the gates change

it's pretty easy to figure out

NW Corner TREASURE: Excavation Arm

NE Corner TREASURE: Gem of Fluidity

now, go to the TAVERN, and check out that DANCER! (hehe)

talk to her

the first decision point seems to have no effect

SB RANK! Aika isn't stupid, and that Dancer is a hottie, don't be a total tool, be a MAN, for best results tell Aika you will STOP STARING

Go back to the INN and chill the night

wakey wakey!! go to the DOCKS

talk to the Dancer again

SB RANK! She's hot, she's got her own ride, you need a ride, you WANT a ride, for best results TAKE THE SHIP!

now FLY EAST to PYRYNN TEMPLE



*PYRYNN TEMPLE!!!

ENTER the temple, you must "ride a barrel" to cross...

do that, and then get on the OTHER barrel and take it back, there is a path to the right

it leads to a GUARDED TREASURE:527 Gold (nice number)

many TREASURES are GUARDED in here, they are Guarded by 3 MAGMA TIKI

they are RED based, so use crystales and it destroys them quickly

anyway, get the treasure and go back down, and continue the MAIN PATH..

HALL OF BOULDERS, run down to FIRST landing, and take the path up

to a GUARDED TREASURE: Ancient Robe

return to MAIN PATH..

ROLLING PUZZLE! easy, so easy (from the perspective, I think, LEFT, then RIGHT, then MIDDLE, could be from VYSE's perspective, sorry, but it's so easy you'll see it)

go thru the door and find GUARDED TREASURE: Sacres Crystal 3

these rooms are all connected, and most have TREASURE, take RIGHT path up

GUARDED TREASURE: Dancing Arc

go FORWARD two rooms to GUARDED TREASURE:774 Gold (nice number)

go to middle room, and LEFT to...

ROLLING PUZZLE! pretty easy- put the red ones on the red marks and green on green

the door that OPENS is the PATH, the door to the side is that dead end door from the connected treasure rooms..so take the door that is the PATH

HALL OF BOULDERS

stop at first landing, pick up a CHAM

go up the other way to GUARDED TREASURE: Moonberry 1

go back to HALL, continue down...to



LIQUID HOT MAGMA room

take the stairs down, GUARDED TREASURE: Magic Droplet 5

continue to a door...

check out the pedestal for a WATER SWITCH! you'll be back here soon enough

take the path to the RIGHT, up, turn LEFT, continue ALL THE WAY TO THE END

ZIVILYN BANE TREASURE: Rune of Ill Omen

for info on Z. Bane, scroll to his section

*SPECIAL PORTION* GLACIA/UNDERGROUND PALACE

you must be over the purple/ice part of the map, Glacia, be pushing into the ice, and press "A" when you while you are flying down into/agianst the ice, you fly south from the south ocean, and you get to the ICE, keep going SOUTH until you are JUST SUDDENLY ON THE NORTH OF YOUR MAP, Glacia is just a tiny bit more south than that

also, fly into LOW sky, and go into glacia from there for a moonberry treasure

LAST PART*coming soonest? do you really want the last stuff first? email me or just wait a few days*



*SPECIAL PORTION* FINA'S SHIP AND VELORUIM

when you go into the DEEP DEEP SKY...you will have limited radar to find the ship and the velorium, this sucks, cause it was hard for me to find the rift to enter in the first place

if you drop your claw into a BAD square, you fight RAJA a big manta, to KICK RAJA's BUTT EASY, use Crystalen the LEVEL 4 ICE SPELL, it has a 100% ACCURACY RATING, and does so much damage that if everyone casts this, RAJA dies in ONE ROUND....maybe you don't wanna fight RAJA at all? well here ya go:

VELORIUM: there are TWO pieces, get them and RYUKAN will make you a master SWORD

VELORIUM ONE: go to the LOWER LEFT GREEN SQUARE, then go RIGHT ONE SQUARE, and UP THREE SQUARES, here's the dig

VELORIUM TWO: FROM VELORUIM ONE, go RIGHT ALL THE WAY (SIX squares) and UP ONE SQUARE, here's the dig

FINA'S SHIP:  go to the LOWER RIGHT GREEN SQUARE all the way over, then go ONE SQUARE UP, and THREE SQUARES LEFT, here is fina's ship



MINI FAQ:

CHAMS:

Fina has only one item to attack with, and that's CUPIL, her shapechanging pet/weapon

for CUPIL to become stronger, it needs to eat CHAMS, it takes about 3 or 4 CHAMS to level up

in this world there are 30 CHAMS and 3 ABIRIK CHAMS

I found 27 on my first run, then I got the first two official downloads, and on one part, there is another one...

you need a VMU or a JUMP PACK to find chams...when one is close, the jump pack will vibrate, and the VMU will beep, the closer you are, the more often the BEEPS or VIBRATIONS

press "A" to find it, the best method for me was to go to the area with the most beeps and roll the analog so I ran in circles, pressing "A" rapidly



ABIRIK CHAMS

abirik chams can cause an instant level change for CUPIL

these are found in various parts in the middle portion or so of the game....



ABIRIK IN THE SKY

in MIDDLE SKY, close to the top, close to a wind rift, near IXA TAKA, there is a ship, it will trade you ONE ABIRIK CHAM for 10 SARDI FISH, sardi fish can be found near pirate and sailor isle, just run into the mass of fish

also, Pinta's Quest often turns up Sardi fish



ABIRIK IN NASR

at some point in the game, your party will be split up, with Vyse in one place and Aika in NASR

go to the NASR ITEM SHOP, and talk to the man at the counter that is NOT the ITEM MERCHANT

he will talk to you and give you an ABIRIK CHAM, if you do NOT speak to him during this time, you must wait until your ENTIRE party is back together, and then he will give you one...



ABIRIK FOR A KABAL SKEWER

after you complete the BLUE CRYSTAL scenario, go to ESPERANZA, and talk to the girl at the TAVERN, she will ask you to talk to a woman in MARAMBA, you will then be going between these two people several times, eventually you will be asked to find THREE ITEMS for a kabal skewer...ugh, this part is shady

you need GENTUM, KABAL, and KHALE

GENTUM: talk to the NASR ITEM MERCHANT, he will give you the GENTUM

KABAL: in NORTH OCEAN, there is now a BISTRO, that is floating in mid sky, it is almost DIRECTLY WEST OF VALUA'S GRAND FORTRESS, and just a bit SOUTH, you'll see little gray islands on your map, it's around there. go and talk to the head of the BISTRO, and he'll give you KABAL meat

KHALE: ARRGGH, the part that made me cheat! you must make the SPICE ISLE DISCOVERY

ugh, go SOUTH OF YAFUTOMA until you see some floating WALLS, this is a DISCOVERY, good for you, now, look on your map, where you are is the wall discovery, and look at YAFUTOMA, now, fly to almost PERFECTLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THESE TWO PLACES, now, begin flying WEST towards the DARK RIFT, eventually, in mid sky, you will see the Dark Rift, and then your COMPASS will go nutz, press "A" and you've discovered SPICE ISLE and recieved KHALE

now, go back to the girl in the ESPERANZA tavern, and take the skewer to the other lady, and then return to the tavern to get the final ABIRIK CHAM!!



ZIVILYN BANE: good for money

in 8 places in the world you will see a treasure, when you try to get it, you will suddenly fight a guy out of the shining force 3 series (well kinda looks like a bandit...)

when you beat him you get the treasure which is worth a lot of money, according to sega and some others, that is all you get from Z. Bane, so just sell the stuff and be even richer

so far, I've found him at:

PYRYNN

RIXIS

GRAND FORTRESS

DARK RIFT

MOUNT KAZAI

GLACIA

DACCAT'S ISLAND

and I've been told he's in 

SOLTIS but I didn't find him there, also, that's my least explored dungeon, so it makes some sense...

hey someone at the gamefaqs messageboard directly answered this for me, so email me and I'll give ya credit!
