                   Arakes, the Earth Abyss Gate Guardian



First, go to Lance and go in the Sei-oh den.  Then go and talk to everyone

(You can get Harid in your party here).  One person will give you the Royal 

Ring. Now go to Pidona and go to the screen on the left and exit through the

upper left corner.  Now you're in the Ma-oh Den.  Go through (there 

shouldn't be any problems) until you get to a door.  If you have the royal

ring, you can open it.  go through it to the basement.  The only problem

here are the 3 rooms that you can go any of 4 directions in.  There's

usually 1)The way back to the previous room 2)A treasure room 3)A mini

boss guarding a treasure and 4)the way to go on. Go through here and

eventually you'll come to a room that has 2 ladders down. Arakes is in

the room down there.  Your characters should have at least 550 HP each

good enough weapons and special attacks.





                   Byanei, The Wind Abyss Gate Guardian



Note:You can only do this after beating at least 1 other abyss gate

     guardian



Go to Vangard and ask the barkeeper for information.  He'll say something

about Roanu.  Go there and talk to Mikhail.  He'll join you and Monica will

leave your party.  Now go to the volcano all the way on the north west side

of the world map and talk to the dragon in the center, choose the middle

choice and he'll fly you to Byanei. Since only your main character fights

(the dragon takes some damage, but not all) your max HP should be about

650.



                     Forneus, The Water Abyss Gate Guardian



Note:You can only do this after beating at least 1 other abyss gate

     guardian



First go to Vanguard and see the murder (not sure what you have to do before

this happens), then talk to the old man and he'll reveal a stairway.  Go

through the cave, and you'll come to a switch, flick it and the monsters

will be gone for good.  Now go back and talk to the old man. He'll tell you

that you need to get the dolphin statue. Talk to the bartender and he'll

tell you to go to the Great Arch. Go there and talk to the guy that looks

different (the guy with one leg) He'll show you where the cave with the

dolphin statue is. Go there and take the statue. Now go back to Vanguard

and put the dolphin statue on the upmost orange orb. Now talk to the old man

again. He'll tell you to get water mages. Go to Mouzes (the town on the same

screen as Vanguard) and go to the main mage in the northern part of town and

she'll send her mages to Vanguard. Now go back to the control center 

and stand on the platform and the city will activate.  Now Herman (The

guy from the great arch) will tell you the coodernites of an island.

Go there and talk to all of the crabs. One will tell you coodernites.

Go to them and go underwater with the city (it's the bottom choice

only when you're at the right coodernites). Now go through the underwater

palace and you'll be at another abyss gate. Your characters max HP should

be around 700 to beat Forneus.



                   Aunas, The Fire Abyss Gate Guardian



Note:Getting to this abyss gate is mostly luck, you don't have to beat 

any other abyss gate guardians to get here though



First find the travelling fair (I never did this but heard that you can) 

and to the top-most tent and talk to the fairy in the cage there, then 

sleep at the inn. Then you will have the option to save the fairy.  

Do this.  Now she'll be in the fairy town.  Go to Ake (You can get there 

on the boat in the Great Arch) and go in the jungle to the south.  Find 

the tree and climb up it.  Go to the top of the fairy town and talk to 

the fairy.  She'll tell you the correct color of butterfly to follow. 

Follow that and go to the fire palace.  There is another way to get to the 

fire palace.  Just go through the jungle and hope you get lucky and find it

 (This is how I found the fire palace) then go through it.  The Abyss Gate 

is right behind where you fight the Pyro Hydra. Aunas is a pain because 

whenever you attack him, he does a powerful counter attack to you. Your HP 

should be around 750 to beat Aunas.  Use these attacks to get around the 

counter attack:



Julian-4th attack from the top (it uses 1 wp and is in all kanji)

Herman-Maki (kanji) dynamic

Robin-Spear

Harid-Bakusu turn



Note:They are all using their starting weapons (except Julian who is using his default weapon type)
