+---------------------------+ Valkyrie Profile Seraphic Gate FAQ Version 1.1 By Steven Bruck (Stevenbruck@Bigfoot.com) +---------------------------+ ================= Table of Contents ================= 1)Introduction & Story 2)Walkthrough 2.1)Yellow Floor 2.2)Red Floor 2.3)Green Floor 2.4)White Floor 3)Credits ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============== 1)Introduction ============== Hello, This is a Walkthrough/FAQ for the game Valkyrie Profile by tri-Ace. I used some Japanese Encoding, so If you want to view it you will need to get a program like NJStar Communicator. And finally if you have any questions, comments, or suggestion's then just contact me and I will get back to you as quick as I can. ------- Updates ------- Version 1.1 Spell Checked/Grammer Checked this, Added Mysterious Writing 7. Version 1.0 Started the FAQ. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============= 2)Walkthrough ============= This is written for Valkyrie Profile's special dungeon, The Seraphic Gate. You gain access to it by Saving at the games final Save Point. After you have done that just turn the game off, put in Disc 1 and you can start this. However, You will not get very far if you have not collected the eight Lotus Gems that have been scattered around the World. And you can only get them in hard. Now assuming you've played through on hard and gotten them all, here is what I recommend you have before you start. Valkyrie:Level 55+. Maken:Levaithan 8x Lotus Gems(Very Important) 50+ Elixer 50+ Union Plums Guts Auto Item Reverie Dark/Scarlet Edge Once you have most of those, it is time to start the Seraphic Gate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------- 2.1)Yellow Floor ---------------- Treasures: Fire Lance(Spell) Spell Reinforce(Spell) Might Reinforce(Spell) 3x Golden Eggs Creation Gem Mighty Check Mayumi:Razor Fatal Eternity Garb ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- As soon as you begin the Seraphic Gate, the game will explain to you that you will need the 8 Lotus Gems to progress. You will then be told that this Save Point is the only one in the Seraphic Gate. Also, be careful that you don't Save over the game that got you in here. Anyways start by heading to the right. I recommend that you avoid all enemies for now. On the Red Floor you can find an item that will let you avoid them without even trying, the Dimension Slip. Anyways start by heading to the right. You will quickly notice that you can not freeze these enemies, so you will just have to jump/run/slide under them. In the next room, use the platforms to jump the right and you will find a Spell Reinforce. Then just fall down and to the right and you can find a Golden Egg(Grab all of these, its like getting a level-up for nothing). Now take the bottom left door. Now, if you hop on over to the top left and enter the door you can find a Golden Egg. Once you have it head back and take the bottom right door. Avoid all the enemies as you run through the corridor. Now fall to the bottom left and you can find a Golden Egg. Once you have it, head through the right door. Now, you will have 3 choice for routes. But, since there is no treasure in the bottom right room we don't care about it. So take the top right door and then just take the top left door. Head to the left and you can find a Fire Lance. Jump up to the top left one last time and you will be able to find a Creation Gem and a Mighty Check. Now head back to where you had the three choices of routes and take the bottom left. Run through that little corridor and then jump up to the top left. You will see a sort of Green Seal around a door. When you search it the game will ask you if you wish to use a Lotus Gem. Select the top answer. The door will then open and you can go inside. Then head all the way to the left. You will reach a room that has two great things inside. One is the Mayumi:Razar Fatal. This is the first weapon that will allow Valkyrie to use her "Full" Nibelgen Velocity(you will understand when you see it). You will also be able to find the Eternity Garb. It is the strongest armor in the game. Once you have those head back to where you used the Lotus Gem and then take the top right door. In this room you will see a ball of electricity. Jump inside of it and you will be transported to the Red Floor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------- 2.2)Red Floor ------------- Treasures: 6x Golden Eggs Eternity Garb Reiken:Soutei Reduce Guard(Spell) Burn Storm(Spell) Seitsue:Mystic Wiser Might Check Scout Orb Poison Blow Bosses: Rezard Valis Brutal Gaze Hell Gaze Characters: Rezard Valis ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- After you warp in from the Yellow Floor, head to the right. But, watch out an enemy will fall down from above and you will have to move fast to dodge it. Now head all the way to the right and you will find another warp place. So jump inside and then head to the left. Fall down to the bottom right and you can find a Golden Egg in a chest. Once you have it, head to the bottom left door and use one of your Lotus Gems. Run all the way to the left and then jump in the Warp. Now head to the right and you will see Rezard again. Rezard will greet the War Goddess and will then say that your Group doesn't have enough men. He then says that if you can beat him he will join you. Rezard then wonders if you as a God can beat him? ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name:Rezard Valis Hell Gaze Brutal Gaze Recommend Level: 55 HP: Rezard Valis:100000 Hell Gaze:20000 Brutal Gaze:54900 Attacks: Rezard Valis:All Magic Hell Gaze Brutal Gaze: EXP: Strategy:You finally get to see the true power of Rezard. He will start by using a Fire Lance spell that will do about 60000 damage. So make sure that you have Guts maxed out. Now just ignore the Gaze's, because they will be taken out in one Celestial Astral. So what you have to do is just all attack Rezard at once and he will die. This battle is actually fairly easy, but there is one important thing you must do. You must get a Treasure Chest out of Rezard. The reason why is that he carries a very strong sword, the Shinken:"Glance Reviver". If you have it, the next couple of sections won't be so bad. Rezard will then say that it looks like you have won. He then warns you that the strongest enemies are ahead. And you now have Rezard! And he is ever great. When you have him equipped with a Seitsue:Million Terror and Prismic Missle he will do like 200000+ damage a/round. Anyways now head back out to where you used the Lotus Gem and this time take the top left door. Head to the left and eventually you will find a place where you can grab three more treasures. After you have those take the top left door and you can grab a Reduce Guard, Burn Storm and a Golden Egg. After you have those head back out and take the top right door. This room has one of the most important items for the Seraphic Gate. It is the Dimension Slip. You get it by fighting the Unholy Terror(the giant thing floating near the middle). Keep fighting them until you can grab it. Once you have it equip it. You will quickly notice that you can walk by enemies and they can't attack. This is what will allow you to get by alot of the more annoying enemies that can kill you in one turn if they get the first strike. Anyways now head to the right. Jump on the platforms to the top right and you can grab another Eternity Garb and a Golden Egg. Take the top left door and head to the left for three screens. Now jump to the top right and use a Lotus Gem. Head to the left and you will find the Reiken:Soutei which is the best Katana, and then you can find the Mystic Wiser. The Mystic Wiser is a great staff. Anyways once you have those head back out and take the top left route. This next part is the trick part of the Red Floor. What you have to do is jump to the platform and then use the chain to make your way to the left. If you fall down, just go all the way back to this room. Also the chests have little explosions in them, so move them to side before you open them. Once you reach the last platform, enter that door to the left. Now, jump up and grab on to the chains and use them to get to the top left. Now grab the Scout Orb, walk to the right and then fall down to the bottom and head left. Enter the warp and you will now be taken to the Green Floor. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- 2.3)Green Floor --------------- Treasures: 4x Golden Eggs Shield Critical(Spell) Shinsou:Ethereal Devoid Seitsue:Million Terror Maken:Archter Nephfalis Bloody Disaster 2x Eternity Garb Lightning Bolt(Spell) Bosses: Bram Frei Gabrie Celesta Characters: Bram Frei ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Start by heading to the left. Now if you goto the bottom left of this room you can find a Golden Egg. Now jump up to the top left and you can find a Shield Critical but, don't go in the warp. Instead take the bottom right route. Head to the right for two screen and then use a Lotus Gem on that door. Go right and then open the chest in the middle. You will get in a battle with 3 Ralva's(not hard). After you beat them you will get a Golden Egg. Now head to the right and then take the bottom right door. When you reach the next room head through the bottom left door. Walk all the way to the left and you can find two cool weapons. One is the Shinsou: Ethereal Divide and the other is the Seitsue:Million Terror. I recommend that use the Million Terror/Prismic Missle if you are going up against one enemy. If you are going up against a group, then use the Mystic Wiser/Cross Airrade. Anyways head back to where you first used the Lotus Gem. Now head through the bottom right door. Now is another one of those Chain crossings. But, this one is a little different. What you have to do is fall down to the left and then land on the door that require a Lotus Gem. After you use your Lotus Gem, head to the left and you can find an Eternity Garb. After you have it head to the top right door. You will see Bram. Bram will say that it is time to end this game and says that he will join your party. He then talks about how is only one man and then says that he will make you forget this battle. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name:Bram Recommend Level: 55 HP:172000 Attacks:Bloody Cries EXP:21000 Strategy:The only characters that will probably end up damaging Bram are Valkyrie and Rezard. So just use the other characters to get your energy all the way up. Bram can do alot of damage, but I didn't find this battle very hard. Just use a Nibelgen Velocity and a Clincher Prismic Missle and the battle should be over. After the battle Bram will tell you that he is impressed with the way your strength has increased. He then says that it is ironic that he is going with you. You now have Bram in your party. He is very strong so put him in your party. However, as you will quickly notice he has a weak weapon. So what we have to do now is find him a good weapon. So head back to where you used the Lotus Gem. Fall down and head to the right. Now what you have to do is cut through those blue things. Once you have done that fall down and head to where you can use another Lotus Gem. Use it and the jump into the Warp. Head to the left and then fall all the way down and head to the right. You will now see Frei. Frei will welcome you and then apoligizes for not helping you and your humans more. Frei then says that you've grown, but she adds that she is not so weak either. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name:Frei Recommend Level: 55 HP:300000 Attacks:Ether Strike EXP:0 Strategy:This is the first hard battle. You will need to have Guts on, because not matter what Frei will kill you on the first attack. So what you have to do is just have Valkyrie/Bram/Rezard all attack with their Clinchers and then just survive for 3-4 rounds and it will be over. All in all a fairly hard battle. But, it will show you what the next two battles are like. After the battle Frei will say that she will lend you her power. But, that her power may not be enough for coming battles. Anyways, you now you have your strongest party. Now use the chains to get out of here and then head to where you used the lotus gem. Now fall down and head to the left until you reach the warp. Jump in the warp. Now what you have to do is the samething you did to reach Brams room. Fall down and head to the right. Now use a Lotus Gem on the top right door and head to the right. You can grab a Golden Egg at the top right of the room. And after you have grabed that head to the left. In the next room it doesn't matter if you take the top or bottom routes. In this room you can find the Maken:Archter Nephfalis and the Bloody Diaster(Bram's strongest weapon). Once you have those head back to where you used the Lotus Gem. Now just take the bottom route and follow the path until you reach the chest that has an Icicle Edge in it. Now Slash that Blue Things and then fall down. If you do it right you should land with such force that a switch in the floor will go down. And the door that was closed will now open. So head to the right and enter the warp. Keep walking to the left until you reach a room with the chains. You can grab a Golden Egg in the bottom right corner of this room. After you have it use the Chains to make your way up and to the left. Just keep heading left and eventually you will reach a room with Gabrie Celeste. Gabrie Celeste will wonder if you are humans? It then says that can't be since your bodies have a strangeness to them. It now thinks that you must be from the Dark World. It then realizes that you must be Gods and then talks about your Existence will be shortened. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name:Gabrie Celeste Recommend Level: 55 HP:800000 Attacks:Queen's War Dance Final Cherio EXP:210000 Strategy:This is a tough battle. Gabrie was the strongest enemy from the first SO(but, unforunatly now you can't just have Ratix/Iria/Fear use a bunch of Shichiseisouhazan's/Uraoukasakkou's/U.H.Terror's). Anyways, Gabrie will start the battle by showing you her Queen's War Dance. A 28 hit combo that does probably 500000+ Damage(I don't know if it is that high, but it is high). In order to win you will need to have Guts and Angel Cures equipped, because she will always kill you in one hit. Now what you have to do is go Magic and attack. After that you need to use all of your Clincher moves. If you do not have a party of Valkyrie/Frei/Bram/Rezard you probably won't last very long. If you use all of your attack and Clinchers, you will probably end up doing around 400000 Damage, but it will probably take three rounds to kill her. Oh, and one last thing, Auto Item (set for Union Plum) is quite helpful. After the battle, head to the right and then enter the Warp. You will now be in the White Floor of the Seraphic Gate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- 2.4)White Floor --------------- Treasures: Golden Egg Lapis Crystal Maken:Dyne Slave Touki:Ether Laser Bosses: Iseria Queen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- After getting warping, head to the left. Then use the platforms to jump to the top right and enter the door. Now take the top right door again and the take the top left door. Enter the warp and then head to the left. Use a Lotus Gem and jump in the Warp again. Now head up to the top right and you can find two great weapons. The Maken:Dyne Slave and the Ether Laser. Once you have those head back. Now just keep heading down and right for about 2-3 more screens. Then enter the left door and walk to the left for 2-3 screens and you will then see the Iseria Queen. The Iseria Queen will say that you may have defeated Gabrie Celeste, but you will never defeat her. ----------- Boss Battle ----------- Name:Iseria Queen Recommend Level: 60+ HP:2300000 Attacks:Queen's War Dance Final Cherio Cross Airrade EXP:700000 Strategy:You will need to use the same strategy that you used on Gabrie Celeste. Also every attack by the Iseria Queen will kill you, so having Auto Item/Guts/Angel Cure will help you survive. Now just have everyone attack and then use your Clinchers. This battle will take quite awhile. Also I forgot to mention one thing. Once you take away half of her HP, she will then transform. And when she does she becomes far more powerful. After the battle, go up and you can grab a chest. It contains the Tri-Emblem(A very powerful accessory). After you get that you will get 1.5 Million for completing this all. Now just work your way out this place. Now leave and the game will stop and ask you if you want to Save. Say that you do. You will then get a Congratulations message. But, wait...you aren't finshed yet. Now go back and select the Seraphic Gate again and choose the game you defeated it with the first time. You can now go back and defeat the Iseria Queen to get some great items(and this time you already have your strongest party). Now this time when you defeat the Iseria Queen you will get the Mysterious Writings. Here is what each one says: Mysterious Writing 1: Congratulations on Clearing this Again! We would also like to say thank you for playing the game. Mysterious Writing 2: This is your Third time clearing this...Do you think that something special is going to happen? Mysterious Writing 3: You cleared it again. You really should find something else to play, because nothing is going to happen. Mysterious Writing 4: Your still playing this?! Do you really think something is going to happen? You really should look for something new to do... Mysterious Writing 5: Looks like you are not going to quit? Unlike Star Ocean we made your Max Level at 99... Mysterious Writing 6: You should move on to your next game... Mysterious Writing 7: I wish that they would release Dragon Quest VII early... Mysterious Writing 8: It's like a dream...You have completed this Nine Times...Okay, why don't you try completeing it once more... Now after you have gotten all of those if you beat the game again you will be rewarded with the Heretic Sword:"God Hunter". It is a weapon that does 20000 damage but, the problem is that it's hit trust is so low that you may only end up doing 4000-5000 damage alot. Anyways it still is the best weapon in the game. Now If you beat it again you will keep getting Heretic Swords. So you have now completed the Seraphic Gate. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ========= 3)Credits ========= Steve Moon- Told me what was meant by Mysterious Writing 7. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This Article is Copyright 2000 by Steven Bruck.
