Revision History version 0.1--initial release; covers only the demo version. II. Introduction Note: This FAQ is currently based on the demo version of Lunar 2. It will be updated to include the full version as soon as the full game is released. This demo can only be obtained by purchasing or renting the Working Designs strategy game Vanguard Bandits (formerly known as Detonator Gauntlet). Look for it at a retail or video game rental store near you! Lunar: Eternal Blue is the second game in the popular Lunar series. It is a traditional style RPG for the Sony Playstation. It features beautiful 2D graphics, an excellent storyline, a witty text translation, a great battle system, over 50 minutes of animated video sequences, and over an hour of total speech from many different speaking characters. *DEMO ONLY--Save games take up a total of 2 memory blocks on a Sony memory card, which allows the user to make up to 3 saves per card. If you haven't played the first Lunar game, Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete, I would advise you to play it first (check out my FAQ on that game for more information). The storyline In Lunar: Eternal Blue is based heavily on Lunar: SSSC's story, and Lunar: EB contains many major spoilers for Lunar: SSSC's storyline. If you can't find Lunar: SSC for the PSX, it will be released for the PC later this year. This is the first version of my Lunar: EB FAQ for the Sony Playstation. It is laid out just like my Lunar: SSSC FAQ, and you may notice many similarities between the two. This initial version only covers the playable demo, since the full game has not yet been released as of this writing. --Demo Notes: As of now, the current release date for the full game is estimated at August, but I'm predicting a September release; in any case, the game should certainly be out by the end of the year. The demo contains the first area of the game almost as it will appear in the full version. There are many small details in the demo that will likely be changed in the final game. The Japanese speech in battles will most certainly be translated, the slight lag in the music during battle will hopefully be gone, and the dash feature in the dungeons will possibly be changed, along with a few other things. Unlike most PSX demos, you can save your progress in this demo. However, these save games will most likely NOT be compatible with the full game, because the save system for the final game will most likely be different than the demo's save system. I tried my best not to spoil anything about the game for you. I recommend that if you're playing the game for the first time, use this file as a reference. If you get stuck, go to the part of the Walkthrough where you need help and read only until you find the answer to your question. Some spoiler information will be given away in the walkthrough, be warned! Your party is limited to level 16 in the demo, and the demo ends immediately after the battle with Plantella. You're limited to level 16, and once all characters in your party reach that level, you will no longer gain EXP or Silver from battles. Since there were no instructions with the demo, here's a list of what the buttons do: Start: quick save during walkabout mode. Select: activate menu. Directional pad/Left analog stick: move characters/cursor. R&L buttons: In menus, these buttons will switch between characters when you are looking at equipment or spells. O button: dash; used in dungeons ONLY. Tapping this gives you about a 3-second boost of speed. X button: action button; used to accept options, talk, search, etc. Square button: activate menu. Triangle button: cancel selections. "L3" button: by pushing in the left analog stick until it clicks, you can dash, just as with the O button. The analog controller is supported, and it allows you to alternatively use the left analog joystick to move your characters. "Dual Shock" is supported; it provides jolts in battles, and other parts of the game as well. The menu works like this: select from the following options: Magic, Item, Equip, and System. Non-equipped items are stored in a single inventory, which is shared by the party. You can carry up to 20 of each item, but I'm not sure how many different items you can hold at once, due to the limited number of items available in the demo version, but it appears to be at least 40. The equip screen doubles as a status screen for each character. Each character can equip a weapon, shield, helmet, armor, 2 accessories, and 2 magic items. Some characters, such as Lucia and Gwyn, cannot change their equipment. Note that you can save your game anywhere you like, as long as you have control of the characters. The system menu has the following options: Save, Load, Tactics, and Configure. Tactics allows you to change the party formation, as well as set up user-defined command sequences to be used in battle. The config screen has the following options: Vibration: On or Off (turns on/off the "Dual Shock" feature Window Style: Opaque or Clear (self explanatory) Window Color: (choose from Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, or Gray) Spell Names: On or Off (enable/disable spell name display in battle) Unfortunately, you can't change the button assignments :( III. Version Differences There are many different versions of Lunar 2. This section will attempt to clarify the differences between the versions. The first version is called Lunar: Eternal Blue for the Sega CD. There are both Japanese and English versions of this game. The second version is Lunar: Eternal Blue for the Sega Saturn. Only a Japanese version exists. This game had improved graphics and animations over the original. However, the storyline remains relatively unchanged. The latest version is Lunar: Eternal Blue for the Sony Playstation. This is the version this FAQ deals with. There are Japanese and English versions. This game is very similar to the second version. I am not aware of any major differences. I own the Sega CD English version and the English PSX version. I do not have first hand information about the Saturn version; I am simply repeating information I have found on the Internet regarding these versions. If I am in error in any way, please let me know. Differences between the Sega CD and PSX English versions (no spoilers): Most of the game and the storyline are almost identical. There is now more emphasis on the relationship between Hiro and Lucia, which lets the player feel the building relationship between the two main characters. The magic system has been changed. There are no more Magic EXP. New spells are either learned by leveling-up, or by equipping magical items that bestow new spells. Also, there is NO cost for saving the game, as there was in the English Sega CD version. Also new are the Bromides. Just like in Lunar: SSSC, there are many secret Bromides to be found in Lunar: EB. The difference is that in this game, there are male bromides as well as female ones! The demo version contains one bromide: Lucia's bromide 1. That's the basic gist of what's new in the PSX version. IV. Common Questions (*coming soon!) V. Characters Hiro-The hero (obviously). A boy who lives in Salyan Desert with his grandfather. He really enjoys exploring, and tends to get into trouble rather easily. Ruby-Hiro's pet. She looks like a flying cat. Oh, and she talks... a LOT. Gwyn-Hiro's grandfather. He knows a lot about the Blue Spire. (Isn't Gwyn a girl's name? Oh, well...) Lucia-A mysterious girl who comes from the Blue Star in search of Althena. Ronfar-A priest (uh, well, he's SUPPOSED to be a priest...) who loves to gamble. Jean-A dancer who works for a traveling carnival. Something strange happened to her in the past that she won't talk about... *Lemina-A descendant of Mia Ausa. She is trying to revive the ancient Magic Guild of Vane. Lemina is a skilled wizardess. *Miria Ausa-Lemina's mother. Giban-The leader of Jean's caravan. Leo-The White Knight of Althena's elite guard. He is a very powerful and loyal knight. He controls the White Dragon. *Borgan-A wizard who is trying to take control of Vane. He controls the Black Dragon. Mauri-A priestess of Althena who controls the Red Dragon. She is the sister of Leo. *Lunn-A karate master who controls the Blue Dragon. *????-The leader of a group of rogue children. There's something very strange and very familiar about this boy... Zophar-Brad Levicoff, the webmaster of Zophar's Domain (http://www.zophar.net). No, wait... you meant the character in Lunar: EB! He's a powerful evil entity who has come to the world of Lunar. He doesn't like Lucia very much. Oh, and his voice sounds REALLY cool :) *Althena-The benevolent goddess of the world of Lunar. No one has seen her lately... *=This character is not found in the demo version. VI. Lists A.

Bromide Locations Lucia's Bromide 1--Get it from a man standing outside the east house in Larpa while you are searching for Lucia. VII. Walkthrough The Beginning: The game begins on the Blue Star. Watch the opening FMVs as Lucia awakens and surveys the landscape (I don't believe I would stand naked in a fierce snowstorm like that, would you??). The scene then switches to the world of Lunar, where Hiro is exploring the Dragon Ruins. He manages to collect the Dragon Eye before he sets off a trap and losing his footing. Watch and listen as Hiro and Ruby make a daring escape from the treacherous ruins! Once outside, you will finally have control of Hiro. Head south to reach the first dungeon. --East Salyan Desert: Treasure found here: Herb, 100 Silver. Really easy, just keep heading south to the exit. Just watch your HP, and return to Althena's statue at the entrance to this area to restore your health, or use herbs. About halfway through this area, the ground will shake and a giant ship will appear. This is the Dragonship Destiny, commanded by White Knight Leo. Apparently, Leo has business with Hiro's grandfather. Continue south through the rest of this straightforward dungeon. After leaving this monster-infested region, head northeast to Hiro's home. The Destiny is parked right outside, something must be up... Head into Hiro's home and speak with Gwyn, and then Lord Leo. After Gwyn refuses to give Leo any information, Leo storms out to find the Destroyer. Head upstairs to the telescope when Gwyn calls you, and you'll witness a strange beam of light descending on the Blue Spire. Gwyn suggests that you go investigate. Head down to the basement and open the chest to find the Ancient Dagger. Take the time to read the books while you're down here. Go back upstairs and speak to Gwyn and equip the Ancient Dagger as he suggests. Now, head north to the Spire! --The Blue Spire: Treasure found here: Angel's Tear (x2), Star Light (x2), Herb (x2), Healing Nut, 72 Silver. Approach the entrance and check out the Guardian statues if you want. Gwyn will take the Left Dragon Jewel and place it in the socket in the dragon's head. Hmm... Nothing happened. But, there's still another empty socket! Approach it and press X and Hiro will place the Right Dragon Jewel into the socket, causing the door to open. Now head inside... In the first chamber, press the switches in the northwest, southwest, and southeast corners of the room to form a bridge leading north. Once you cross the bridge, go east to find another switch. This one deactivates the force field to the west. When fighting the mummy enemies, attack the purple mummy with a Poe Sword for an easy win. Once the purple mummy dies, they all go down. Go to the next area and enter all the doors and activate all 4 floating orbs to activate the transporter in the southern part of this area. After exiting the transporter, head north and watch the quick FMV of the Spire and be sure to heal at the goddess statue. Keep heading north into the next room and ascend either of the two staircases. On the next floor, go up either the southwest or southeast staircase. On the next floor, ascend the middle staircase to continue. This time ascend either of the two staircases at the south end of the room. Now just enter the staircase to the northwest for some temporary relief from the monsters. Take a moment to gaze at the beauty of the Blue Star, and then head east to the stairs leading to the 7th floor. Here, Grandpa Gwyn will astound you with his complete lack of investigative ability. While he examines the wall for a non-existent secret passage, you might want to check out the strange magic symbol with the image of the Blue Star hovering over it at the north side of the room. You will soon find yourself transported to another chamber where a woman, Lucia, appears. Approach the crystal to view the FMV of Lucia's appearance. Lucia asks simply to be taken to see Althena. Hiro, stunned by Lucia's goddess-like beauty, finally manages a response, but only after fending off Ruby's jealous attack. Hiro agrees to help Lucia, and she transports them back to the 7th floor. Gwyn is surprised, and the group prepares to descend back down the Spire. On the floor below, some monsters attack. It doesn't matter what strategy you employ, because before anyone can act, Lucia will destroy all the monsters at once with her awesome magic! Continue down, and try to fight every enemy you find to take advantage of Lucia's immense power for some easy EXP and Silver. Note that Lucia cannot be controlled, and acts automatically. This does not change throughout the entire game. Try to get Gwyn up to level 12 by going up and down the spire looking for enemies. When you get to the area where Althena's statue is, Lucia will try to sense Althena's presence, but she can't. Then, an ominous voice is heard. It's Zophar! He's the Destroyer, not Lucia! Lucia attempts to summon the power of the Four Dragons, but to no avail! Zophar responds by casting a terrible curse on Lucia, one that threatens her life. Now you must find a way to restore her to health. Lucia now has only 1HP, and all of her powers are gone. She'll spend the upcoming battles cowering in the corner, running away, or fainting. Once you reach the goddess statue, heal up and save. Continue south and you'll see that Zophar's presence has woken up the Guardian statue! Guardian (AKA: Stoneman) HP: ???? Weakness: none This is the first boss battle, and it can be tough if you don't take appropriate action. The Guardian will always start by boosting his attack and defense, so you should lower them. Have Gwyn cast Fractured Armor and Shattered Sword the first two rounds. Hiro should ALWAYS use Poe Sword. Lucia will spend her time cowering in the corner, so forget about her for the moment. Have Gwyn cast Heal Litany and Calm Litany as needed. Use herbs if he runs out of MP. If Hiro is killed, use an Angel's Tear right away! Have Gwyn attack if no healing is needed. You may need to cast Shattered Sword again if the Guardian boosts himself, but if you need to be healed, make that your top priority. It takes quite a few rounds to beat this thing, but it will go down in time. Make sure to revisit Althena's statue before proceeding! Make your way out of the tower, but try not to get bogged down with too many battles. When you reach the entrance to the tower, there are four more Guardians awaiting you! You'll be thrown into another battle, but it looks pretty grim... Just put the controls on AI and once two people are knocked out, a beam of white light will wipe out the monsters! It's Lord Leo's White Dragon Cannon! Head southeast to find the Destiny. Leo will berate Gwyn for endangering himself, and then he notices Lucia. Fortunately, Hiro will mislead Leo into thinking the Destroyer is still in the tower. Now head back to Hiro's home to see about that curse... Lucia's Curse and the Gamblin' Priest: Upon entering Hiro's home, Lucia will lie down on the couch while Gwyn does some research. Speak to Lucia twice and Gwyn will return, saying there's nothing he can do. Then he remembers about a priest named Ronfar rumored to be living in Larpa. Gwyn then prepares his boat for Hiro to use and then leaves the party. Board the boat by pressing X while standing next to it, and sail to the dock to the west. Press O to disembark. Walk west to find the village of Larpa. Larpa is a den of thieves, gamblers, and drunks. There's a shrine to Althena here, but most of the people don't seem to care about it. You'll find Ronfar in the tavern, but he won't talk to you at first. Explore the town, and check out Ronfar's house at the west end of town. Read the note on the door, then go talk to Ronfar. Play a couple of games of dice with him; it doesn't matter what you pick, you'll always lose. Tell him you've had enough and then talk to him again. Lucia will faint and Ronfar will take her to his house. Follow Ronfar and talk to him in his house. Pretty soon, Leo will show up and ask Ronfar if he's seen Lucia the "Destroyer." Ruby is certain that Ronfar will turn them in, but he just brushes Leo off instead. Talk to Ronfar and he'll play another game of dice with you. Pick either even or odd dice and this time you'll win. Go get Lucia and then talk to Ronfar. He will reveal a hidden path to the sanctuary. --Larpa Pass: Treasure found here: 500 Silver This couldn't be simpler, just head north to the stairs, and then south to the exit. When you exit the cave, jump off the cliff and enter the shrine. Go to the main sanctuary and Ronfar will call upon Althena to break the curse, but it doesn't work. Ronfar then recalls how he failed to lift a similar illness from his ex- girlfriend, Mauri. Ronfar tries to lift the curse once again, this time with absolute conviction. It works, and Lucia is freed from the curse! Lucia has not been restored to full power, however, but she will gain more HP and new spells as Hiro gains levels. Return to "Casa De Ronfar" and stay the night. The Road to Pentagulia, the Holy City: In the morning, Lucia will be gone and Ronfar will still be recovering from the curse-lifting incident. Now go and search for Lucia in Larpa. Go to the house on the east side of town first; it's the one with the baby. Before you go in, talk to the man standing outside to get Lucia's Bromide 1. Inside, speak with the baby's mother and she'll tell you about Lucia's recent visit. Next, head to the mayor's house at the north end of town and talk to the mayor. He'll tell you that Lucia asked about Pentagulia and left without paying his "information fee." Hiro will have to cough up 30 Silver to pay the man. After visiting these two locations, Lucia can be found at the eastern pier. Talk to her and she will leave for Dalton to find Pentagulia on her own. As you head out of town, Ronfar will catch up to you and inform you that the Destiny is headed for Dalton! Now head northwest of Larpa towards Dalton. --West Salyan Desert: Treasure found here: 300 Silver. Another simple dungeon; just head north. Once you enter Dalton, you'll witness Leo interrogating Lucia. She fends off the guards until Leo attacks her. Leo knocks her out with one swift blow! You have to find a way onto that ship to rescue her... Someone has smashed the goddess statue at the entrance to the village, so you must look elsewhere for healing. There's a statue at the shrine, which costs 100 Silver to use, but I suggest you wait. One of the buildings on the west end of town leads across a breezeway to the port of the Destiny. Climb aboard and enter the north hatch. Use the goddess statue here to restore your health before venturing any further. --Dragonship Destiny: Treasure found here: none. From the statue, head downstairs. On the Destiny, you merely have to make your way down to the engine room, fighting soldiers as you go. The fights aren't too bad, just keep attacking and make sure you keep your HP up. Don't attack the privates when their shields are raised. They will counter your attacks. It's safe to use magic and Hiro's Poe Sword, but don't use physical attacks while they're defending. You must fight all but one of the soldiers, so just keep fighting. When you reach the engine room, you'll overhear Leo interrogating Lucia again. When she won't answer his inquiries, Leo orders her execution and locks her up. Approach the cell and press the switch to open the door. Before you can leave, Leo will approach, and everyone will take cover. When Leo runs into the cell, sneak up on him and press the switch to lock him inside. Exit the Destiny the way you came in. Now head northeast of Dalton towards the Forest of Illusion. --Forest of Illusion: Treasure found here: Herb (x5), 600 Silver, Star Light, Snake Crest, 146 Silver, Chain Mail. The first part of this dungeon is called the Starlight Forest. Keep heading northeast to exit this area. Now you'll come to a clearing where the infamous Star Dragon Tower resides. You won't be able to get inside for a VERY long time (and certainly not in the demo version), so don't worry about it for now. Your party will take a rest here. Talk to Lucia and then continue northwest after healing at the statue. Once outside, walk a short distance northeast to reach the second forest--the Illusion Woods. Talk to the woodsman, and Ronfar will convince him to help you. Walk north into the woods, and then Lord Leo will appear right behind you. After a futile search, Leo and his men head back to the Destiny to ambush you on the other side of the woods. Looks like you haven't seen the last of him... Inside the woods, you'll have to make your way through by searching throughout the light green bushes. Most of them contain dead ends or chests, but one bush in each area conceals the exit. In the first area, the bush furthest to the northeast is the exit. In the second area, again head for the bush in the northeast corner. In the third area, the exit is the far northwest passage. Welcome to the traveling caravan! Upon entering this clearing, you'll hear music and cheering. Watch Jean's elegant dancing, and she will notice the party as soon as she stops. She introduces herself, and invites you to speak with Giban, the troupe leader. Take some time to explore the area, and say hello to the large blue bird--a calandra, which Ruby almost mistakes for a blue chocobo :P Talk to Giban, who informs you that the path out of the forest is blocked by vines and offers to let you spend the night with them. Jean will leave to go cool down. Follow her to the northwest clearing and speak with her. Ask her all three questions, and pretty soon, a vine will appear and grab Lucia! Just as Hiro prepares to slice it in two, Jean leaps forth and subdues the vine with a few quick karate-chops! Jean then leaves after warning everyone to keep what they just saw quiet... Jean returns to her room and has a flashback about a strange masked man. That morning, Hiro and Lucia awaken to find that there is a hot spring located here. Head east to the springs and enter the left side. Hiro and Ruby go in and begin to bathe, when Lucia suddenly appears wearing her pendant (and NOTHING else; yowzers!). Hiro can't help but stare at Lucia's features, and Ruby begins to throw a tantrum and ends up almost scratching Hiro's eyes out :P After this little incident, head back to the caravan. Suddenly, the ground begins to shake and vines appear from the ground and capture Giban and several others! Speak with Jean to receive a Rope Ladder and try to convince Jean to help. When she refuses, approach the hole and prepare to descend. Just then, Jean will stop you and agree to help! Head down into the hole and go west. Fight or avoid the enemies here, and enter the doorway at the end of the hall. Now, make sure you're near full HP and MP before continuing. Plantella (AKA: Wretched Veggie) HP: ???? Weakness: Fire If you're playing the demo, this one's going to be tough because you're limited to level 16. If you are playing the full game, I'd probably recommend level 18 for fighting this boss. Plantella has three attacks: a weak poisoning attack, a stronger single attack, and a group attack. For some reason, she always seems to target Hiro with her single attacks. On the first round, have Ronfar cast Divine Intervention on Hiro. Thereafter, have him act according to the situation. He should heal if necessary, use Clean Magic or a Purity Herb if everyone has HP and Hiro is poisoned, or use Anger Dice (fire-based) for moderate to heavy damage. Hiro should ALWAYS use Poe Sword, or attack if he's low on MP. Jean should use Butterfly Dance, it seems to work the best. She should use healing items if necessary as well, since she is the fastest member. Lucia will cower in the corner, and occasionally use Napalm Shot for moderate damage. Just keep your fingers crossed and you should prevail, although it may take a couple of tries. If you're playing the demo, the game will end immediately with the teaser FMV. If you're playing the full game, your party will continue on to Takkar after bidding farewell to the caravan gang. Well, that's it for the demo version of this FAQ!

My E-mail addresses are: Internet: daniel0777@aol.com America Online: Daniel0777 Please feel free to E-mail me with any questions you have. I am glad to help you with any problems you're having with the game. This file will still be updated as new information is found. I will also be glad to answer any questions about other RPG and adventure games. I am especially knowledgeable about the following games: Final Fantasy 1-8, Dragon Warrior/Quest 1-6 (check my FAQs on DW2 and 3!), Secret of Mana series (Seiken Densetsu 1-3), Lufia 1 and 2, Breath of Fire 1-3, Lunar 1 and 2 for Sega CD and PSX, Chrono Trigger, The Legend of Zelda 1-5, Star Ocean 1 and 2, and Soulblazer. I may not know EVERYTHING about these games (especially not the Japanese ones), but I should be able to help you if you are stuck and can't figure out what to do next. Game Shark Codes: Do not ask me for Game Shark or Game Genie codes. I do NOT encourage the use of a Game Genie or Game Shark in any of the games I write these FAQs for. These devices can mess things up (temporarily), and can even erase your save games! If you are having problems with your game, be sure you try removing your Game Genie/Game Shark before asking me for help. I have had a NES and SNES Game Genie in the past, and had my saved games erased numerous times. I have never used a Game Shark, so I know NOTHING about it, nor do I know any codes for it. If you NEED to use codes, do a search on the web for "Game Shark" or "Game Genie" and the name of the game or visit http://www.gamefaqs.com; that should help you find the codes you need.
