1. Revision History

------------------------------------------------------------------------

V1.2 - Put in a new 'power spells' section in the secrts section, and moved

       the StasisRune and Reaper spell tricks there.

     - A few weird new secrets... The SilverFang spell and the Porno Book.

     - One new GameShark code

     - Mystic Absorb chart updated (And I warn you...DON'T TRY TO ABSORB THE

       EARTH DRAGON!!!)

     - Confirmed the effects of the SleetCoin, SolGrail, and ThunderCharm.

       end.

     - Finished the optional areas section by adding Furdo's Workspace and

       Berva's base.

     - Added some GameShark codes. If they don't work, don't blame me, I

     - This will probably be the last update on this FAQ for a while, but 

       feel free to keep sending me anything I left out. The mystic and 

       monster absorb charts are both incomplete, and I still need a

      ðSlimyArmor

      ðIronPipe

      ðRaySword

      ðTrainingGun

      (And anything else not on my lists)

     - Wasn't this a big update?

       section

     - More list additions, corrections, etc.

     - Sorry, no Emelia walkthrough this time, I never managed to get around

       to it. It's been started, but it looks and sounds horrible. I'll

       correct and finish it in the next version...PROMISE!!



-----

     - Finished the team member list (I think)



-----



V0.4 - First Version - it's still severly lacking, I'm missing several 

walkthroughs (which I'll add later) I'm also missing a few items, and 

possibly a few skills. I didn't finish the team member list 

either...sorry... Parts of existing walkthroughs may be a bit vague, 

I'll try to correct them in the future.



I'd also like to add a Monster Chart (A faint possibility), a Mystic 

Sword/Glove/Boot list, and a Monster Skill list.



------------------------------------------------------------------------

 2. Frequently Asked Questions

------------------------------------------------------------------------



Q. How do I remove team members from my party?

A. Unless a character leaves for storyline purposes, there's no way to 

   remove anyone from your team. The sole exception to this rule is Rouge.

   Try to travel to the Magic Kingdom and he'll leave your team.



Q. Can anyone besides Blue get the gift for Time or Space magic? 

A. You can buy Time or Space magics, but unless you sign up TimeLord or 

   Kylin, you can't get the gifts for either of these magics.



Q. Can anyone else get Life, Evil, or Mirage magic?

A. Nope, sorry... Well...there IS a way to get ONE Mirage spell... If you

   give someone the StasisRune spell, and equip them with a RuneSword, the

   Cockatrice spell will appear under the RuneSword's VictoryRune spell.



Q. How do I defeat Diva?

A. It helps to have Shields and PurpleEyes to stop her attacks, otherwise, 

   just build up. DSC is extremely helpful here.



Q. I lost the battle with Berva in the ruins, and I wound up in some base, 

   but now I can't find Berva again!! Where is he??

A. He's not IN that base. Make your way out and you'll be in Shingrow 

   Palace where he can be found in the arena.



Q. What do I do after beating the FireSage in Asellus's Quest?

A. You need to find and defeat the other sages, find Ildon, defeat Ciato,

   and conquer the dark labyrinth. These events happen randomly in various

   places around the world. (See Asellus's Walkthrough)



Q. Why can't I turn Red into Alkaiser??

A. Red can only turn into Alkaiser when no one can see him. If Red is alone,

   everyone else has a status ailment (besides poison) or he's with a team

   of all Mecs, AlkaiserChange will appear in Red's command window, use it     

   to become Alkaiser



Q. How do I learn Re-Al-Phoenix?

A. This is Alkaiser's best move. To learn it, be sure you have learned Al-

   Phoenix first -- you need it. When you fight MBlackIII in the BlackX 

   base, Have Alkaiser keep using Al-Phoenix. When MBlack uses Dark Phoenix,

   the next time you use Al-Phoenix, you should learn Re-Al-Phoenix. This 

   will make the final battle MUCH easier!!



Q. How do I get Rei on my team?

A. Near the beginning of Asellus's Quest, enter Rei's room at Chateau 

   Aiguille with Just Asellus and White Rose and you'll learn a bit about

   her (Rei). Later on, after completing the Dark Labyrinth, return to the

   shrine at devin and talk to the girl there, she will reveal herself to be

   Princess Rei and offer to join you. 



Q. How do I get to Tanzer?

A. Simple. All you need to is be on the rune quest, and have collect at 

   least one Rune. Then go to the Koorong port and choose to go anywhere,

   while travelling, your ship will be swallowed by Tanzer.



Q. How do I get to Despair?

A. Also simple. If you're Riki or Emelia, you'll go there automatically, but

   everyone else has to be collecting runes, and must have the Hide Rune,

   the Victory Rune, and the Vitality Rune. Talk to Annie outside the 

   restaurant and she'll offer to take you to Despair to get the last rune.

   (Note that if you're playing as Red, you must finish the Shuzer Base 

   before Annie will take you to Despair.)



Q. Why doesn't your FAQ say what the best team to use is???

A. Because everyone has their own opinion on which class/member is the best.

   I don't want to say "Use Red, Gen, Emelia, Doll, and Rabbit" (Which is a

   good team, BTW.), just to have someone complain saying "Mecs suck!!" I

   let people pick their own teams. 



Q. What is this "R3X" thing at the end of Red's Chapter?

A. There are many theories as to what that is. Some people think it's an ad

   for some new game (possibly Xenogears, as the big "X" looks like the XG 

   logo.), some people think it's there as a sort of closing ad as shown in

   movies, because Red's Chapter is something out of the movies anyway, but

   most people think it's there to make us wonder what it's for...a fake ad.



Q. How do I get Suzaku?

A. One of the more carefully hidden characters... You can only get the 

   Suzaku on your team during the short time you're on the mountain at

   Mosperiburg, during the quest for the Shield Card. Start by defeating the

   fairy-type enemy in the first area, then go to the outside area where

   there are 3 boars running around. If you see a snowman at the bottom of

   the screen, defeat it and Suzaku will appear in a small cave a little 

   ways back. If there is no snowman, then go back to the first area and

   defeat the fairy again until it appears. If the snowman appears, but is 

   on the LEFT side of the screen, it's a fake, and if you fight it, you'll

   be up against 3 souped up snowfolks, and you don't get anything for 

   winning, so don't fight that battle.



Q. Who is Alkarl??

A. Alkarl is the hero who turned Red into Alkaiser... ohhhh, you mean who's

   the person behind the Alkarl mask... Tsk, Tsk, that's a S-E-C-R-E-T!! 

   Find out for yourself!!



------------------------------------------------------------------------

3. Walkthrough

------------------------------------------------------------------------

%%%%%Red%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%



---Start---



Red's Chapter begins with Red and his dad driving down a street, 

discussing the current activities of the evil BlackX and their leader, 

Dr. Klein. Suddenly, a giant beast lands on their car, causing it to 

crash. Red then finds himself alone in a field, his dad no where in 

sight. He encounters Shuzer, a BlackX Emperor, and a fight ensues. At 

this point, there is no way you can win, so just punch him until he 

knocks you out and a strange masked man (yes, that is a man), Alkarl, 

comes down to defeat Shuzer. Alkarl then turns the unconcious Red into 

Alkaiser, a hero just like him and makes him take the "code of the 

hero".



Many years later, Red still hasn't forgotten about BlackX; in fact, he's 

still after them. Red is working on the Airship Cygnus with his father's 

friend, Hawk. There isn't much to do here, but do some exploring, and 

find the guy who will give Red his paycheck (100 Credits). Remember him! 

After you're done exploring, talk to Hawk in the engine room, he'll ask 

if you're ready, answer "yes" and you'll go to Baccarat, a casino.



---Baccarat---

Treasures: None



You can't actually play the games, so just look for strange blue men

that say "Eaaaaggg" or something like that. There are 4 of them in the 

room with the slot machines, talk to them all and they'll run away. 

Take the elevator and follow them down to the parking lot. Once there, 

you'll see that Red has turned into Alkaiser, (yep, he still has that 

power). After a brief scene with Shuzer again, he sends four soldiers 

and some kind of bug after you. Defeat the soldiers, then defeat that 

bug thingy, the bug is a bit tougher than the soldiers and during battle 

you get transported to the "4th dimention Magisphere" (a big eyeball 

dimention where enemies have triple their normal HP). Just remember to 

Equip yourself with the BroadSword, EasyRifle (or both) and the Backpack 

(You start with all these items). Notice that you may learn some 

abilities during the fights, refer to the learning abilities section to 

find how to do this and why it happens. Beat these enemies and you'll 

get your first Picture, (I can't say for certain, but it seems to me 

that getting a picture means you've completed a mission). You then 

return to the Cygnus. Go collect your pay, then talk to Hawk again, 

you'll be sent to the town, Shrike. 



---Shrike---

Treasures: None (At least, none in the town itself)



 Once in Shrike, go to the Bio Lab in the southeast corner of town, 

(this is optional, skip it if you want), and follow the path and fight 

the enemies if you want - but they are TOUGH. Eventually, you'll come to 

a room that looks like a library. Examine the lone bookshelf near the 

entrance to find a secret room. Once inside, climb down the ladder and 

proceed to the room with the stairs. Go up the staircases (or down if 

you have a death wish) and enter the room at the top of the stairs. You 

should see three mad scientists performing experiments on a helpless 

little critter. Red, being the hero that he is, attacks the mad doctors. 

Upon defeating them, the little critter, Cotton, will then join you. 

Also, if you want, go to Sei's Tomb (in the upper right corner of the 

map) and collect the sword, shield, and accessory, but *DO NOT FIGHT SEI 

YET!!!* (refer to Riki's chapter for details on the tomb). After this, 

build up if you want. Then go to the "street" and rest at the inn (it's 

free, one of only 2 places that is). Now go back and talk to the kids in 

the playground. After one of them mentions Sei's Tomb, some BlackX 

soldiers attack you and kidnap the little girl. Next, head for Sei's 

tomb, in the northeast end of town. Once there, it's pretty much 

automatic, Red will turn into Alkaiser and fight some monsters in that 

weird eyeball dimention again - very easy (especially if you picked up 

Cotton earlier). After the battle, have Cotton (if you have him) Absorb the

Sphinx. you may get SphinxRiddle, a powerful instant kill spell, and Cotton

should turn into a powerful Sphinx form. This should really help you in the 

next few missions!! You'll get a call from the Cygnus and your next picture 

will appear. 



---Cygnus/Manhattan---

Treasures: Payment



Back on the Cygnus, collect your pay again (you should do this every 

time you return, so I won't bother mentioning it again). Go below and 

meet Yuria, she will show you something she found. When you follow her 

you'll find that the Cygnus is carrying illegal weapons. You'll 

automatically be sent to Manhattan. Go to the C.T.C. Building and talk 

to the receptionist, she'll...ehem...kindly escort you out of the 

building. Then, Fuse, a patrolman for the IRPO (Inter-Regional Police 

Office) shows up and demands to see the president, Lady Campbell. He 

tells the desk lady that Red is his assistant and they both go up to 

Campbell's office (there is nothing but talk here). You then return to 

the Cygnus. After talking to Hawk, the ship gets attacked by pirates. 

This, IMO, is the hardest part of Red's chapter. You'll fight some easy 

battles, then Fuse will join you. Go through the rest of the ship 

(there's a secret passage in the room behind Hawk) and look for people 

who survived the attack, as you can now go in those "guest rooms" Red 

didn't want to enter earlier. After looking around for a while (and 

fighting some really tough enemies). You can find the following people 

abord this ship: Roufas, Asellus, White Rose, BJ&K, Blue, and Yuria 

(Blue and Yuria don't join you, the rest do). Yuria is in one of the 

guest rooms in the same area you first met her at the beginning of the 

game. Sneak around the monsters (or fight them if you're strong enough) 

and Yuria is in one of the rooms...I don't exactly know what purpose 

rescuing her serves, do it only if you want to. (Optionally, you could 

go around the rooms and Fuse will distract the monsters.) Build up in 

the lower room where the weaker monsters are. After building up, explore 

some more. Eventually you'll come across a battle with 4 enemies that 

seems impossible to win, and, unless you're at a god-like state, it IS 

Impossible to win!!! (Hey, It's possible to win it, I did once...) 

Well...impossible, that is, unless you know the trick here. Run around 

to the left side of the room and enter the 3 doors, one at a time. The 

monsters in the impossible battle are here. Defeat them one at a time, 

THEN you can pass. After defeating the final enemy near the big white 

doors, Fuse will tell you of another way in. (If you go through the 

front, you'll get slaughtered...even if you win, you lose!!). Go back to 

the door you couldn't "use in flight" earlier. (Save before you do this. 

Also, if you're feeling lucky, strip your teammates of their equipment, 

it's good stuff). Go through the door and from here till the end of this 

outside passage RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!!!! IF YOU DON'T RUN, YOU'LL 

GET BLOWN OFF THE SHIP!!!!!! After passing the area (Phew) you'll fight 

Platyhooks. Attack him until he calls 4 Platoonpuses then runs off. 

Defeat the 4 Platoonpuses as quickly as possible, as if you wait to long 

Platyhooks will return and you'll have to fight him again. After that 

battle everything will return to normal on the Cygnus, but you'll notice 

that all your team members are gone (except Cotton). You can get BJ&K 

back, however, by returning to the room where you first found him. 



---Koorong---

Treasures: 200 Credits x2, MemoryBoard, IceCrystal, FireCrystal, 

SecretBoard 



Now, as usual, talk to Hawk and this time, you'll go to Koorong. The 

following scene is automatic. When you regain control of Red, go back up 

the stairs you just came down. The towns people will be attacked by a 

monster, which (as usual) you have to fight - very easy battle. After 

the battle, some strange yellow haired guy (at least, I think that's his 

hair...looks more like a lampshade to me...) will appear and run off, 

he's a BlackX agent. Follow him to the sewers; you may have to stop and 

battle a couple of thugs. Everyone goes in those sewers at one time or 

another, so I'll explain how they work now and save some time later. 

After going down the steps, fighting the goons if necessary. There will 

be 2 manholes, don't bother with the first one as it's a dead end, the 

second one is where you need to go. Go around to the right path before 

heading down, then take the path upwards. Take the bag that contains 200

Credits. After getting the credits, take the lower path and exit. You 

should be in a big junk yard, go right and down until you find a secret 

passageway in the pile of black debris. There, I guy will offer to sell you

"something good" for 400 credits -- say no. Leave the area and return, the 

price will have dropped down to 200 credits. You can keep repeating this 

process until the price drops down to 50 credits. Now you should buy it, 

it's a SecretBoard (If you don't have a mec in your team, just skip it). 

Then go up until you reach the next manhole. Go in it (well, obviously) then 

go around the bend, whacking any goons that dare to stand in your way and 

take the treasure (IceCrystal). Afterwards, head up the ladder and go left 

into the dark wall. Go left again if you're in a hurry, or go right and 

collect a MemoryBoard, another mec device. Proceed up the big staircase and 

enter the big red door, it's a shop containing some VERY powerful (but 

expensive) laser weapons; buy some if you want (and if you have the cash). 

Next go in the black area to the right of the Red door, then go down the 

manhole. (Careful, it's dark down here.) In the next room, follow ol' 

lamphead again (skip the manhole) to the path to the right. Just keep going 

down. If you get a message saying, "Can I?", just say no - you can't (not 

now anyway, you'll return later.) Go all the way to the left to get a 

FireCrystal then go in the little opening in the south part of the wall. 

Climb up the ladder and GO RIGHT, RIGHT, RIIIIIIGHT!!!! If you go left, 

you'll go back to Koorong and have to start all over again (d'oh!!). Go 

right and you'll be back on the Cygnus where you'll see a strange scene...

end of mission...



---Kyo---

Treasures: None



You'll then be taken to Kyo. You can buy some decent items at the shop, 

or buy Mind Magic at the place called the "Doujou". Eventually, you'll 

go to the northeast corner of town and enter the "Syoin". Talk to the 

mec there and he will tell you a bit about BlackX's 4 Emperors. Red then 

gets another call from the Cygnus.



---Shingrow---

Treasures: CeramicSword, SanctuaryStone



Your next mission is in Shingrow. Enter the palace and wait in line. You'll

be asked if you want to fight or watch, fighting is more fun, but the same 

thing happens if you just watch. If you choose to fight, you'll leave your 

team behind and change into Alkaiser. Talk to the man behind thedesk and 

he'll enter "Mr. ReReRe" (inside joke, it's actually Alkaiser)in the 

contest. After that's done (it doesn't matter if you win or lose...I won by

luck) you'll see Dr. Klein run away. Follow him until you come to a room 

with crossroads, then head up. Talk to the people in the 3 upper rooms and

take the treasure chest (yes, there is one here, it's just hard to see) to 

get a SanctuaryStone. Leave the room and you should see the good doctor 

(actually...he's anything BUT good) run into the lower room; follow him and

defeat the 2 yellow soldiers, then examine the jar a few times and a secret

staircase will appear. Go down the new staircase and talk to the native 

there. He will mention a switch that will move the floor. Examine the wall

next to the pit and the floor will rise up allowing you to get the treasure

there (CeramicSword). Continue down the path and defeat the boss at the end.

As Alkaiser, you should have no problem here. 



---Leaving the Cygnus/Team Members/Optional Quests---



Back on the Cygnus again, talk to Hawk. Red will choose to leave the 

Cygnus and will find himself at Yorkland. From here, you can basically 

do anything you want, though your mission is to seek out and destroy the 

4 BlackX emperors. First, though, start by finding team members, the 

list below will tell you where to find some:



Cotton: Bio Lab in Shrike, you should already have him though

BJ&K: On the Cygnus (If you missed him, you can't get him now)

EngineerCar: Nakajima Robotics, need a mec on your team.

Fuse: In the Manhattan Shopping Mall

Lute: In Scrap, he's at the Pub

Thunder: In Yorkland, You must have Lute on your team first

Rouge: In the Luminous Airport

Annie: In Koorong outside the Restaurant

Doll: Shingrow Port

Liza: Inside the restaurant*

Roufas: Inside the Restaurant* Also at Mu's Tomb

Rabbit: This little (but powerful) Mec is in the Kyo Garden

*At the restaurant, you have a choice of signing up Roufas or Liza, 

choose Liza. You can still get Roufas by going on the Rune Quest and 

picking him up at Mu's Tomb.



I STRONGLY suggest you use either Rabbit or BJ&K here (preferably Rabbit) as

they will both be VERY useful in the coming battles!!

 

If you want to go on the Light/Shadow, Rune/Arcane and Time/Space 

quests, feel free to do so. Refer to Blue's chapter walkthrough for help 

there.



These next 4 missions can be done in any order, but this is the order I 

do them, so I'll tell it this way.



---Koorong/Shuzer Base--- 

Treasures: ElectroArmor, KillerRifle 



The first of the four BlackX Emperors is Shuzer. To seek out and destroy 

your old enemy, return to Koorong and talk to Annie outside the 

restaurant; she will agree to show you the location of Shuzer base and 

then join you. Go down to the sewers and keep going until you come to 

the narrow bridge where you may have said "Can I???" earlier...try to 

cross it, you can now. Climb the ladder and proceed up through the 

building, fighting soldiers as you go. You can sidetrack into one of the 

rooms and grab a suit of Electro Armor, but go into the middle door (the 

one with the barber pole next to it). Defeat the soldier there and walk 

across the board and proceed back through the hole in the back wall.  

Keep going until you get to a flat blue platform -- SAVE!!! You have to 

fight a boss - The Cyclops. Defeat him by using your best attacks, 

DeadEnd works well if you know it, and equip JetBoots to stop his quake 

attack (DSC makes this fight SOOOO easy...refer to the secrets section 

to find out how to get DSC). Go up the stairs and follow the path until 

you see a soldier blocking your way; fight him (in the eyeball dimention 

no less ^_^) and when you win, go into the building he is blocking. 

Press the glowing eye on the right lion statue to open the door. In the 

next room you'll catch a quick glimpse of Shuzer in the upper door (now 

would be a good time to save!!). Go through the door and you'll fight 

Shuzer. He's tough, but if you have good moves (i.e. HeadWind, 

DeadEnd...DSC!!!) he shouldn't be much of a problem. After taking around 

20,000 damage (more or less) Shuzer calls a helicopter and jumps in. Red 

grabs hold of the 'copter and holds on as it flies off, only letting go 

when the helicopter lands. Red runs off and morphs into Alkaiser, 

returning to challenge Shuzer. You'll now fight Shuzer again. He would 

be easy, but...fighting with only Alkaiser makes this a toughie. If 

Alkaiser has at least 600 HP, you won't need to heal too much (use 

PowerCures if need be). Just use your best attacks on him until he dies, 

you'll get the KillerRifle after the fight. Also, you *should* learn 

FinalCrusade, a valuable skill that only Alkaiser can use. 

Annie will also join you permanently now. On to the next mission!!!



---C.T.C. Building---

Treasures: WaterCannon, MissilePod, 400 Credits, LightBazooka, Magi-Water,

EagleGun, MaxCure, Protector, Thunderbolt



Return to Manhattan (maybe you can afford some of the items at the mall 

now...) and go back to the C.T.C. Building, and talk to your old friend, 

the receptionist. She won't let you in until Lady Campbell calls and 

tells Red to take an elevator to her office. Red wonders how Campbell 

knew who he was...AH HA!! She must be part of the BlackX!!! Red realizes 

this a moment before the elevator gets attacked by some BlackX Soldiers 

(PinkX actually :). Win this quickly, as every round of fight, you get 

hit with EnemyFire!!! When the elevator stops, talk to the lady and 

you'll fight another battle. Win this battle and climb up the ladder 

behind where she was standing. When you can't climb anymore, go left 

though the door. Once inside, head immediatly to the right and enter the

room. Inside, take the treasure here (MissilePod) and then go back to the 

left. You'll be in what would appear to be a maze of desks. Weave your way

around the desks, defeating the cops as you go, and collect the treasures.

(The bag has 400 credits in it, and the gold treasure contains a 

WaterCannon.) Go through a door in the upper right corner of the room, it's

kinda well hidden, so just push against the walls until you find it. From

here, head up through the nest door, then go in the door on the left. There

is a treasure lying on the ground (LightBazooka), but you'll most likely

have to fight some of the guards in order to get to it. Backtrack and enter 

the door on the far right. If you ended up in a room with a fairy who is 

sitting on a machine, you're in the right spot. Go in the upper door and 

you'll be at the bottom of a spiraling staircase. There are 5 of these 

floors, each containing a group of monsters blocking the stairs, a 

mini-boss, and a treasure. This first stairwell is covered with slimes, it's 

almost impossible to completely avoid them, so fight them if you have to. At

the top you'll fight a HugeSlime and 3 PinkFighters and upon winning, you

get some Magi-Water. The next floor has a steady stream of falling mecs, 

they are easy enough to avoid. At the top you'll fight 2 Guncarts and a 

PinkFighter, and you'll win an EagleGun. The third set of stairs is covered

with plants. They all sit stationary, but will occationally lash out at you

and if you're hit, you have to fight them. The mini-boss here is 2 TrapVines

and 3 PinkFighters and your reward for beating them is a MaxCure. The next 

floor consists of a barrage of bouncing bugs!! Don't worry, they're easy to 

avoid. When you reach the top, you'll fight 3 Armorpillas and 2 Pink-

Fighters. Your prize is a Protector. The final floor is nothing but a bird

and a few mecs; you might as well just fight these. At the top, talk to the

woman on the right side of the room. She'll offer to give you something, 

accept and you'll get the Thunderbolt. Now go left and through the door - 

Save here. Upon entering the door, you'll fight a Sub-Boss, the BlackGarb 

and 3 AutoBuffers. This battle is easy, you shouldn't have any trouble with 

it. Following this annoyance, the lights go out and Red morphs into 

Alkaiser. Now you have to fight Lady Campbell who turns into a big 

spider, Arachne. 



:::Defeating Arachne:::



Well... Arachne is probably easier than Shuzer, but her attacks do similar

damage. She uses many "net" type attacks, including a new one, LightningWeb,

which attacks the whole team. Arachne probably has about 25,000 HP, and she

isn't very difficult. Note that if you didn't get FinalCrusade yet, you'll 

learn it after beating Campbell. 



Yet another BlackX agent is out of commission; end of the next mission.



---Eastern Shingrow Ruins---

Treasures: TwinSword, MagicStone, HarmoniumArmor, SanctuaryStone,

ExcelShield, HarmoniumEarring, 250 Credits



At the Shingrow port, talk to Doll, the purple haired woman, she'll tell 

you about her brother who got lost in one of the nearby ruins and ask 

you to help her find him. Agree and she joins you. Now head for the 

eastern ruin. Go in the open passage then follow the passage up for a 

treasure box containing a TwinSword (ignore the other door, it's a 

trap.) Go back to the crossroads and go left. Follow the path until you 

come to a door, enter it and fight the giant frog there - it's really 

easy. Go up and continue across the bridge (ignore the steps for now), 

follow the path into a small room and collect a MagicStone in the hard 

to see treasure box (once again, ignore the door here, another trap.) 

Backtrack across the bridge and now go down the steps; go under the arch 

and into the small crack in the wall. From here, go into the courtyard 

area (with the 2 slimes) and take the HarmoniumArmor on the ground. Now 

go up through the door. You can try to take the treasure chest here, but 

2 little girls on the platform above won't let you, so go talk to them. 

They are actually monsters, defeat them and the go back and take the 

treasure chest (HarmoniumEarring). Now continue up the steps into the 

next room. This would appear to be a maze of sorts. Go across the raised 

platform and go down the steps and take the hard to see bag in the 

corner of the room for 250 Credits. Go under the arch here and into the 

opening. In this room go up and search the little golden glow behind the 

tree - you'll get a SanctuaryStone. (Ignore the upper door, it's yet 

another trap.) Go back to the previous room and back up the stairs into 

the door. Go down the steps and follow the path then go in the next 

door. You're now in a room with 5 giant slimes. Defeat them!! (It's 

kinda tricky, as they keep regenerating if you don't kill them all, use 

attacks that hit all of them at once.) Beat them and examine the funny 

looking alter behind them to open a secret passage. (The door on the 

right wall is a fake, not a trap, just a fake.) Before going in the 

passageway though, be sure to take the ExcelShield from the EXTREMELY 

hard to see treasure chest on the left side of the room. Now go up and 

talk to the giant. Doll will step out and issue his arrest. (Yes, Doll 

was lying about her brother, she actually works for the IRPO!!) The 

giant, Berva, will then attack you, He is BlackX agent #3.



:::Defeating Berva:::



Berva has a powerful defensive move called Swayback, if you use any form 

of physical attack (sword or fist) he'll block it completely, so use 

other means of attack such as guns, magic, and GaleSlash. He would 

appear to have well over 33,000 HP. After beating him, he will run away. 



Note: If you lose to Berva, the story will continue, but you'll be in a base

under Shingrow Palace. Just work your way out and seek out Berva again.



---Shingrow/Shingrow Palace---

Treasures: There are some in the Berva Base



Follow Berva outside and head for Shingrow Palace, defeating BlackX 

Soldiers along the way. Go into the palace and go left, then up. Talk to 

the woman there for a free restore. From here, go in the lower 

passageway to fight Berva again, or go back to the room where you fought 

the goblin earlier and examine the walls to find a secret room full of 

goodies. When you finally decide to defeat Berva, return to the arena room 

and be ready for a tough fight...



:::Defeating Berva:::



Just attack him the same way you did the last time you fought him: no direct

attacks, just aerial ones, or attacks like Guns, that don't actually touch 

him. The consequences for touching this giant are MUCH worse this time, 

however, as now he has a powerful Kasumi-like skill called BervaCounter, 

which will not only stop your attack completely, but will also damage the

would-be attacker by around 200-300!!! Berva has around 45,000 HP this time. 



After beating him, Shingrow Palace will be destroyed and you'll be back at 

the Shingrow Port. Mission 3 is done.



---Kyo/Syoin/Metal Black Base---

Treasures: SamuraiSword, MaxCure, BigMissile, 300 Credits, Magi-Water



Go to Kyo and enter the Syoin. If you have Rabbit on your team, he'll 

point out a secret passageway. If you don't have Rabbit, just go to the 

garden (also in Kyo) and pick him up. The passageway leads to the Metal 

Black Base, it's quite easy, but be sure to take some of the treasures 

inside. This area is so linear, it would be a waste of time explaining 

it. When you reach the big green vat, defeat the guard and Red will 

realize this is the place when BlackX is producing drugs, and he'll set 

an explosive device...GET OUT OF THE BASE NOW!!!! When you leave, you'll 

be ambushed by MBlack, the last of the 4 BlackX Emperors. 



:::Defeating MBlack:::



By this point, he shouldn't be too hard (Especially if you have DSC). I'm

usually so powerful by this time, I don't really know what he can do. Since

MBlack can be effortlessly taken out in one round of fight, I'd say he 

probably has no more than 10,000 HP. When you beat him, (Make this battle 

take as long as possible, as it has some awesome music) you'll receive the 

very powerful WarLordArmor, and for an added bonus, if you have a mec on 

your team, you can absorb MBlack and get the powerful TigerProgram!!



---Cygnus/Black Ray---

Treasures: (On Black Ray) SprigganSuit, OctopusBoard, Iron Clogs, 

SilverMoon, WarLordArmor



After all 4 missions are completed, Red will get a call from the Cygnus. 

Do whatever you need to before boarding as you can't get off. On the 

Cygnus, talk to Hawk and he'll give you a BlackX costume. Now you can 

board the BlackX's ship, The Black Ray!! Once on board, explore freely. 

(Note that the soldiers won't let you take any of the treasure...yet.) 

Go in the cockpit on the 3rd floor and you'll see MBlack again, he will 

notice Red and report intruders abord the ship. Red, like a fool, throws 

his costume off and runs. Now comes the tricky part...leave this room 

and a message saying "9000MM to Base" will appear, and every time you go 

into a room, the number will decrease by 1000. The trick here is to let 

it count down to zero. Keep running until you get the message "Almost at 

BlackX base" (and try to take as many of the treasures as possible, it's 

all VERY good equipment!!) Now, this sounds easy, but you can't re-enter 

the same room twice, if you do, you'll have to fight MBlackII; and even 

if you win, you lose. So get the message "Almost at BlackX Base" and 

THEN fight MBlackII.



:::Defeating MBlackII:::



Actually, this battle is pretty easy. MBlack's only dangerous attack is

MoonScraper, which does 100-200 damage to the whole team, and he uses this

quite often. As long as you keep healing and using your best attacks against

him, victory should come quite easy here. Also, if you brought Rabbit along,

you can use his ECM to block MBlack's powerful Shoot-All attack. MBlack's 

newest form has around 60,000 HP. When you win, (have a mec absorb MBlackII

to get the DragonProgram) you'll be at the BlackX Base, your final Area...



---BlackX Base---

Treasures: SanctuaryStone, LethalGun, HyperionBazooka, MaxCure x3, 

Magi-Water, GrainCannon, PowerBelt



After the Black Ray crashes, you'll find yourself in the BlackX base. 

Red has now become Alkaiser and he will remain as Alkaiser until 

the end of the game. From the entrance to the base, head up and right, then

climb the steps. Be sure to collect the SanctuaryStone along the way, you'll

probably need it. Continue up through the door and collect the treasures 

here (LethalGun and 2 MaxCures). Pass through here and go up through a door 

on the left wall. You'll be in a room that looks like some sort of prison. 

It's an enclosed area with about 7 monsters, 3 treasures, and a switch, but

there appears to be no way of getting in. Go up and try to enter the door, 

you'll be bounced back and the prison will open. Defeat the monsters if

you'd like, and take the treasures (MaxCure, Magi-Water, and a GrainCannon).

Now go back and hit the red switch on the small platform, the door that you 

used to open the prison will now open and you may proceed. Go up the stairs,

fighting monsters along the way, until you come to a staircase leading 

further up. Here, you'll see a raised elevator. Climb up the stairs on the 

right side of the room and go around the pipes, flip the red switch and the 

elevator will lower allowing you to get up to a platform with a narrow ledge

and a door. Don't get on the elevator yet though, instead, walk to the 

extreme righthand corner of the room and examine the shiny (hard to see)

wall to claim a PowerBelt. Now board the elevator. Once at the top, whatever

you do...DO NOT ENTER THE DOOR YET!! Cross the narrow bridge and take the 

treasure on the platform there, it's a HYPERIONBAZOOKA!!! Backtrack and go 

through the door. Head to the left and climb down the ladder and try to 

enter the door. You'll find out it's locked. Climb back up the ladder and go

to the right and cross the pipe, keep following the path until you reach a 

door, enter it. You'll see 2 people inside, they are Red's mother and 

sister. Talk to them, and when they learn that Alkaiser is here to help 

them, Red's mom gives him the key to the locked door. Also, if you talk to 

Red's mom again, she'll restore all JP, WP, and LP. Go back to the locked 

door and use your key. Head up until you meet up with a BlackX agent 

(cleverly named "BlackX" ...^_^). BlackX shouldn't pose much of a threat, 

his worst attack is one that turns you to stone. When he's defeated, Dr. 

Klein will show up and tell you about his "secret weapons". You'll now fight

against Berva, Shuzer, and Arachne. Yes, it may sound easy, but you have to 

fight them one after another with no breaks in between!!



:::Defeating Berva, Shuzer and Arachne:::



Actually, if you have high HP, WP and JP, this battle should be a breeze; 

just defeat them the same way you did before. They have more HP, but still 

aren't much of a problem. Arachne, though, has some cool looking spells, 

like RavaBarrire.



After beating them, Dr Klein calls MBlackIII, the newest model of your 

old enemy. (MBlackIII is also called 'Metal Alkaiser' in some 

cases...for obvious reasons.) In his sense of fair play, MBlackIII 

allows you to wait and heal up first. When ready, you'll have to fight 

him.



:::Defeating MBlackIII:::



Yes, he's more difficult then MBlacks I and II, but he is still rather 

easy. TigerRampage and Dark Phoenix can do a lot of damage though, so stay

healed just in case. MoonScraper isn't nearly as damaging, but it hits the

whole team. MBlackIII also has some other lesser attacks that are of no real

threat. The big trick here is to have Alkaiser repeatedly use Al-Phoenix 

(if he has it), and when MBlack uses Dark Phoenix, Alkaiser should learn 

his ultimate attack, Re-Al-Phoenix. (This is how it happened for me, if 

it's wrong, please correct me.) MBlackIII has a whopping 120,000 HP!!!

After beating him, you will be healed and the true boss of BlackX shows up - 

a giant robotic creature called BossX...you (of course) now have to fight 

him.



:::Defeating BossX:::



Well, he's easier than some final bosses, but that doesn't mean he's 

especially EASY. If you have power moves (LifeSprinkler, DSC, Re-Al-

Phoenix, etc.) use them, they'll be very helpful. BossX has 2 extremely 

dangerous moves: HyperGaze, which inflicts status ailments on the whole 

team (usually charm); avoid this with PurpleEyes or DodgeGaze. His other 

move is called JudgementX, which looks similar to an FF7 style summon. 

(It's worth seeing at least once, IMO!!!) All his other moves are rather 

weak, but he has well over 100,000 HP. Good luck, because when he's 

done, so is Red's quest.



And now...you'll find out the truth behind the mysterious Alkarl......



---End---



%%%%%Blue%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%



---Start---



Blue's Chapter starts at the Magic academy at Magic Kingdom, today is 

Blue's graduation day. Blue is a young man gifted with the powers of 

magic, He, however, will never reach his full potential, as his twin 

brother Rouge is holding him back. To attain his fullest potential, Blue 

must prepare, master the concepts of these various spells, then seek out 

Rouge, and........KILL HIM!!!



Blue will start out with the usual items, but he has a new one, The 

Region Map. This special item lets him transport to any town that he has 

visited. After the scene at Magic Kingdom, The RegionMap transport 

screen automatically comes up, you can start at either Luminous (the 

little gimmening light icon) or Devin (little round yellow ball icon). 

Where you choose determines your starting point.  



---Collecting Team Members---



Now Blue has a pretty open-ended chapter, so start by collecting any 

team members you may need, these are Blue's potential pals:



Cotton: Bio Lab in Shrike

Thunder: In Yorkland next to the windmill, Need Lute

Lute: Scrap Pub

Mei-ling: Scrap Pub

Riki: Scrap Pub

T260G: Scrap Pub

EngineerCar: Nakajima Robotics, need a mec on your team.

Annie: In Koorong outside the Restaurant, must have 3 runes first

Roufas: Inside Mu's Tomb, need to be collecting Runes

Gen: Scrap Pub, need to be collecting Arcane Tarot Cards

Emelia: Baccarat, Need to be collecting Arcane Cards

Dr. Nusakan: Backstreet in Koorong, need to be collecting Runes 

Mesarthim: The basement of Lord Manor, need Dr. N on your team 

Slime: Tanzer, After finding the Vitality Rune

Silence: Omble (See Below)

Sei: (See Riki's Chapter)

Suzaku: Mosperiburg Mountain (See Team Member List)



Blue can't get Fei-on because he doesn't offer to help him. He can't get 

TimeLord and/or Kylin because he needs to fight them to get the gift for 

their magic, and he can't get Rouge because...well guess!!



Now's the time for Blue to begin his quest for magic, as you know 

already, Light and Shadow, Rune and Arcane, Time and Space, and Realm 

and Mystic magics can't co-exist, so you can only get one or the other 

of there magics. (Refer to the chart at the bottom of this page for more 

info.)



Now that you have team members, it's time to get some magic!!



Your first goal is to collect Light Magic or Shadow Magic, but you can't

have both.



---Quest for Light Magic - Luminous Labyrinth---

Treasures: MoonlightRobe, SanctuaryStone, 400 Credits



If you want Light Magic, Luminous is your place. Travel to Luminous and buy

some Light Magic from the man in the house just above the port. So, great,

you have the magic, but now you need the gift for it. Ok, go through the 

passage below the Light Magic shop and talk to the man standing there. He

will ask you if you'd like to challenge the Luminous Labyrinth, but he tells 

you that mecs and monsters can't enter..oh well - Say yes and you'll be 

transported there. Once inside the labyrinth, head up through the door.

Your goal here is to turn the mirrors around. In the first room, the 

mirrors are positioned something like this:



       Door



 3

    1   2



Turn mirror 1 then mirror 3 and the door will open. 



The second room is a bit more difficult, you'll now need the help of magic

orbs to reflect the light on to the mirrors. The orbs can be picked up and

placed on other white square blocks. This is how the room is lined up:



(The numbers indicate mirrors and the letters indicate blocks for the orbs.) 

The orb starts on Block "A"



Door

           B

    2

              A

           1  

 3     C   



Pick up the orb and move it onto block C, then turn mirrors 2, 3, then 1



The final room focuses not on opening a door, but to get colored beams of

light to hit the wall to get treasures (and an occational fight).

The room is lined up like this:

(The orb starts on block "C")



            Wall



         3   4



      B

   A            1



               2     C



These are detailed instructions on how to get the different colored beams to

hit the wall:



Dark Blue Beam: Move mirror 4

Light Blue Beam: Move mirror 3, then mirror 4

Red Beam: Move mirrors 2 and 4

Yellow Beam: Move mirrors 2, 3, then 4

Purple Beam: Move the orb onto block A, then turn mirrors 2 and 4

White Beam: Place the orb on block B, then move mirrors 2, 3, and 4



This is what the various beams do:



Light Blue Beam - Get MoonlightRobe

Yellow Beam     - Get 400 Credits

Purple Beam     - Get a SanctuaryStone

Dark Blue Beam  - Fight a battle

Red Beam        - Fight a harder battle

White Beam      - Obtain the gift for Light Magic and leave the labyrinth



Try to collect all 3 treasures before touching the white light, as when you

hit it, you'll be warped out of the Labyrinth with no way back in.



YAY!! You've got the gift for Light Magic!! What'll you do next? Collect

Runes? Or Arcane Tarots? The Choice is yours...



---Quest for Shadow Magic - Omble---

Treasures: 200 Credits, Magi-Water



Luminous is also the location of Shadow Magic. If this is what you'd rather

have, head for the dark room on the right and talk to the woman there. Ask

her about the gift and you'll be sent to the shadow region, Omble. (Like in 

the Luminous Labyrinth, mecs and monsters aren't allowed here.) At Omble,

your shadow will break loose and run off and you can't leave until you catch 

it. Talk to all the shadows until you come across the shadow of Silence, 

agree to help him and he will "join" you. (Well, he's just a shadow, so he 

won't be of any help...yet.) Climb the steps and enter the door. You'll 

immediatly see a bunch of shadows running around, these are actually 

monsters...STRONG monsters!!! Go left and take the upper path. Take the 

shadow bag to get 200 credits. Now go down and climb the steps. Ignore the 

door on the right, it leads to a dead end. Instead, enter the left door and 

you'll come to a room with 3 paths. Head left again and you'll eventually

come to a room with a bunch of wandering shadows (what else??). Talk to them 

all and they will move to the room on the other side of the wall. Now go 

back to the big room and this time, head right. You'll be in a room with a 

lone shadow person, talk to him, he runs a shop. Buy whatever you want and

then head back and go up. There is a treasure containing Magi-Water just 

below the door. This is the room where all the stray shadows ran to. Maybe

you'll notice that most of these shadows are those of the main characters.

(Red, Blue, Emelia, Asellus, Gen, etc.) Touch the shadow that you think 

belongs to the character you're playing. If you choose wrong, you'll have 

to fight. If you're playing as Red, Blue, or Lute, you shouldn't have 

trouble here, and since you're probably playing as Blue if you're reading 

this, it should be easy! (You just CAN'T miss Blue's ponytail!) After you've

found your shadow, follow it up into the room where it flees to. Now talk to

the shadow and you'll fight a most interesting battle...a battle against...

YOURSELF!!! Well, actually more like evil shadow clones of your team. It 

would probably be best to remove attacks that damage all enemies (especially

GaleSlash!!), as your doubles can and will use those attacks on you. This 

should be an interesting, but not a very tough, battle. After you win, 

you'll get the gift for Shadow Magic and be warped out of Omble. Now, 

(assuming you agreed to help the shadow of Silence), talk to the man 

standing in the shadows, he is Silence, and he will now officially join you.



Shadow magic collected. What's next? Rune or Arcane?



---Quest for Rune Magic - Devin---

Treasures: SmallStone x4



OK, so you've picked Rune Magic. Start your search in Devin. Go inside the 

tent near the entrance to town; this is "The Lure of the Rune", the shop 

where you can acquire Rune Magic. Agree to get the gift for the magic, and 

you'll be given 4 SmallStones and told that you must collect 4 Runes that 

are scattered around various regions and absorb their power in these 

seemingly useless pebbles. This is where the Runes can be found:



The Victory Rune is in Shrike 

The Hide Rune is in Koorong

The Vitality Rune is in Tanzer

The Freedom Rune is in Despair



Well, now that you know where the Runes are, GO GET 'EM!!



---Mu's Tomb---

Treasures: <2 Random items>, 200 Credits x2, BloodChalice, Katana, 

ShadowDagger, RuneStone



I strongly suggest you collect the runes in this order, as it'll be easier.



The Victory Runs is in Shrike, so Shrike is where you must now go!! On the

south-eastern corner of town, you'll find Mu's Tomb, the location of the 

Rune. Immediatly inside, head left through the first door you come to. Talk

to the men in the next room. One of them is Roufas, and if you agree that 

"Victory is the sign of a real man", he will join you. (Although everyone

else can collect the runes, only certain characters can get Roufas on their

team.) Now check the wall on the left - there is a secret door leading to a 

most unusual treasure room... Defeat the 3 slimes and take the small 

treasure chest first, you'll be attacked. It's usually a pre-determined 

enemy, but it's random. When you win, you'll get an item that is determined

by the enemy you fought. The big chest it the same way, but the enemy is 

more powerful. You can get the following items there:



Small Chest

<Random Battle> - PowerCure

Platyhooks      - DanceShoes

Snowfolks       - HarmoniumArmor



Big Chest

Ettin           - PowerCure

Mimic           - GoldIngot

MecGod          - HG-Cannon (!)



(I've also run across GoldIngots and SnakeOils here from time to time, but

I'm not certain what you win them from.)



Actually, the items you get really aren't all that great, but the enemies 

can be quite tough to beat... The Ettin and Mimic are are just routine 

battles, but the MecGod is a totally different story...



:::Defeating the MecGod:::



This is the rarest of the 3 enemies, due to it also giving you the best 

payoff. All I can say it just use your best attacks and hope MecGod doesn't 

use MagneticStorm. When you beat it, (and it probably has close to 50,000 

HP!!!) you get double the prizes!! Have a mec (if you brought one along) 

absorb MecGod to get the powerful TigerProgram. And after battle, you get an 

HG-Cannon, which makes the fight worth it anyway. There's probably no real 

need to say it, but this is probably the battle you want to try for.



Now, you've probably lost a lot of HP and WP from your fight with the Mimic

or MecGod (or whatever you fought). So go back to the inn and rest. Now re-

enter the tomb and go right. You'll come to a door with a warning in several

languages. Blue will hesitate for a minute, but then decide that he must go 

in. Inside, open the hidden door on the upper wall and go into the next 

room. Take the treasure containing a ShadowDagger, then proceed downwards

through the opening. Below this room is another small room containing two 

creatures; pass them and go into the door. You'll now be in a room filled 

with monsters, and to the right, you'll see two paths: one leading 

downstairs, and one leading through a hole in the right wall. Next to the 

staircase is a treasure chest containing a Katana, take it then enter the 

hole the right to get some treasures. The first room here has a bag with 200 

credits and a path leading upwards. Take the bag then proceed through the 

upper passageway into the next room. You should be in a room with 4 doors on 

the upper wall. Go in one of those doors (it doesn't matter which one; they 

all lead to the same room) and take the treasures there (200 Credits and

BloodChalice). Exit this room and follow the left path, which leads back to 

the entrance. Leave the tomb and stay at the inn, then work your way back to 

the staircase that lead downwards (near where you picked up a Katana 

earlier). Climb down the stairs and look around until you see a bunch of 

monsters. You can either defeat them, or lure them away from the opening. 

Whatever choice you made, enter the door behind them once they are gone, and 

continue up past the next room where the rune lies. Now go up and try to

claim the rune... A pile of bones will spring up and attack you... BATTLE 

TIME!!!



:::Defeating the Skulldrake:::



In the first round of this battle, punch the pile of bones (or just defend), 

as you can't hurt it yet. After one round of fight, the bones will come to 

life and attack you. The Skulldrake isn't exactly the strongest monster 

you'll ever face... His attacks are weak and you can probably defeat him in

one or two rounds, so don't worry if you're not very strong -- this battle 

is easy!!



When that pathetic bonehead is gone, climb up on the platform and...VOILA!!

You've got the Victory Rune!! Three more to go!!



---Natural Cave---

Treasures: 200 Credits, 300 Credits, 500 Credits, Magi-Water, StardustRobe,

AngelArmor, RuneStone



The Hide Rune is in Koorong, but you'd most likely never find it without a 

bit of friendly help. Head to the lower section of town and talk to the 

purple-haired guy to the left of the inn; he'll tell you about a doctor in

the back alley who knows a thing or two about runes. Ok, let's pay this guy

a visit. Go to the alley in the lower section of town (where the 3 birds 

are) and enter a partially hidden door next to the manhole. Inside, you'll

meet Dr. Nusakan. After the good doctor tells you about the rune, he'll 

offer to join you...ACCEPT HIS OFFER!!! NUSAKAN RULES!!! Overall, Nusakan

is probably the best mystic you can recruit. His mystic skills are powerful,

he starts with good magic (Including the "Death" Arcane spell, which will 

prove useful later), and his Mysticwear restores HP when used in battle!! 

Even better is that he doesn't have that crappy MysticMail, so you can give

him some REAL armor, like WarLordArmor or a PoweredSuit!!! Too bad only Blue 

and Riki can sign him up :(  Ok, I've talked about Nusakan long enough. Now 

go back in Koorong and enter the restaurant in the upper part of town and 

talk to Liza inside. If Roufas is part of your team, Liza will offer to take 

you to the rune -- once again, accept her kind offer, Liza is a great team 

member as well!! Now head for the sewers. Keep going until you reach the 

laser shop. Buy something if you wish, then go in the door next to it and 

climb down the ladder. Liza will step out and tell you to climb down the

manhole in this room -- do as she says. Now circle around this room and 

enter the blue hole in the wall when you reach the end, you'll now be in the

natural cave, where the Hide Rune can be found.



First of all, grab the bag near the entrance to get 200 credits. Now head 

down andclimb the pink vine. (It's kinda hard to see, so watch out.) In this

room, go down past the 2 skeletons and climb down ANOTHER hard to see vine.

Defeat the monster and search the wall on the right for 500 credits. After

getting the credits, go exit through the hole in the bottom of this room. 

Take the lone treasure to get a StardustRobe, then proceed back up to the

room with the two skeletons and go left. Follow the path up until you can't

go any further then examine the wall on the left to get 300 credits. Now 

enter the door on the right and you'll be back in the main area. Take the

extreme lower path and you'll end up in a big room with numerous monsters 

and a treasure (Magi-Water). Grab the Magi-Water then take the upper door on

the left side of the room. Climb the vine and you'll see to cliffs that 

almost touch. You need to run to the end of the cliff and you'll 

automatically jump to the other side, but don't do it yet. Instead, just 

walk off the cliff and head to the left to collect AngelArmor, which is some

very good armor. Now go to the right and exit through the bottom of the 

room. Exit this next room and you'll be back in the big room with the 

monster; make your way back to the cliffs and this time, jump across. Now

just keep going forward until you reach a room with a bunch of giant 

spiders, as soon as you enter this room, you'll be attacked by the QuakeWorm

and 3 Wormbroods.



:::Defeating Quakeworm:::



The first thing you should do is immediatly kill the 3 Wormbroods, as 

they'll keep using MagicHeal to heal each other, and Assist to boost their 

stats. After these pests are gone, attack the Quakeworm. He's not very 

strong, but at the end of every round of fight, he uses a Quake attack that

damages the entire team -- avoid this by equipping JetBoots (or that Angel

Armor you just picked up.) After doing about 10,000 damage, the Quakeworm

will be defeated and you'll get the Hide Rune.



---Tanzer---

Treasures: RuneStone



This is a very vague area, and many people have difficulty finding this 

place. To reach Tanzer, simply find any one rune then go to the Koorong port

and travel anywhere (doesn't matter where). Your ship will be intercepted by

Tanzer (who actually SWALLOWS your ship!!) Now you're inside Tanzer. As soon

as you enter, the people on the ship will be attacked by a couple of thugs,

as Blue just stands and watches (jerk!). (Note: If you're playing as anyone

else except Asellus, you'll have to fight the thugs...they're just normal 

enemies.) After the thugs attack, the pirate Nomad appears and talks to you 

until Fei-on shows up and leads you to a village of sorts. Talk to the 

people if you'd like, then enter the upper right door and talk to Fei-on

again. He'll ask you if you'll help him get rid of Nomad, but Blue declines,

as all he wants is the rune. Fei-on is dissapointed, but he still offers to

take Blue to where the rune is (Note that if you're playing as anyone else,

you have the choice in helping Fei-on, in which case, he joins you.) Follow

Fei-on out of the village. He will show you the exact to the rune, so if he

stops next to an opening, enter it. Eventually you'll come to a room with a

bunch of slippery slopes. Slide down until you reach the bottom, and enter

the green opening on the left side of the room. Now go down the next hill, 

turn right, and go down another hill. You should be on a flat bridge-like

surface. Fei-on will step out and tell you that you're close to the rune, 

but it's guarded by slimes and asks if you're ready to try and get it yet --

say yes. You'll now have to fight an interesting battle. All your human and

mystic characters have a new command called Touch. Start by defeating all 

the slimes, then have someone touch the rune. You have to be quick because 

the slimes keep regerating, so use attacks that damage all enemies and don't

worry about hitting the rune, it can't be damaged. After successfully 

touching the rune, you'll get the Vitality Rune and be transported out of

Tanzer.



---Despair---

Treasures: LightBazooka, ShellShield, RuneStone



The final rune location is also the easiest. First things first, return to 

Koorond and buy a InfraScope, you'll need it. Now talk to Annie, who is (as 

usual) standing outside of the restaurant. She'll offer to take you to 

Despair, accept her offer and she joins you, then you're automatically sent 

to Despair, a prison. This place is short and not very difficult. Like Fei-

on, Annie will lead you to the rune... however, UNlike Fei-on, her 

directions are ALL WRONG!! Instead of climbing the ladder like she tells you

to do, go right and enter the elevator like door. This will cut your trip in

half!! Go down the manhole on the left side of the room and continue until

you come to the laser maze. If you bought an InfraScope in town like I

suggested., you'll have no problem here, as you can see the beams...however,

if you DIDN'T buy the InfraScope...it's tougher, as the beams are invisible.

After passing through the laser maze, climb the ladder and enter the green

door and examine the grate in the next room. You'll be attacked by the 

Nidheg, a giant centipede!!



:::Defeating the Nidheg:::



Like all the Rune quest bosses, the Nidheg has weak attacks and is easy to

defeat, just attack it with whatever moves you have. It has a lot of HP, but

the Nidheg shouldn't give you much trouble. 



After defeating that bad bug, you'll get the Freedom Rune and be transported

back to Koorong. 



YAY!!! Now you have all 4 runes, so you get the gift for Rune Magic!! Spend

some time learning all the rune magics, then prepare for your next task: to

collect Time or Space magics!!



---Quest for Arcane Magic - Devin---

Treasures: Card x4



Well, if you want Arcane magic, go to Devin and enter the building in the

center of town. Ask about the gift and you'll be given 4 plain cards and 

told that you have to collect 4 REAL Arcane Cards in the following regions:



The Grail Card is in Yorkland

The Saber Card is in Wakatu

The Shield Card is in IRPO

The Gold Card is in Baccarat



Armed with this knowledge, head for those regions and GET THOSE CARDS!!!

As you collect the ArcanaTarots, the Cards you received will dissappear.



---Yorkland---

Treasures: ArcanaTarot



(Note: You'd be best off doing this quest first, as if you're too strong, 

the enemies here will be those &^%*&^*& squids!!)



In Yorkland, take the left path into the brewery section of town. Go into 

all the building and ask the people inside and ask about the Grail Card.

They won't give you any info, however, unless you taste a sample of their 

wine. When you've talked to the people in all 5 houses, the last one one you

talk to will tell you that the card is in the Liquor Shrine, which is in the

middle of the Swamp. So go back to the crossroads and head up into the 

swamp. Once there, you'll immediatly notice that your character is moving

kinda funny... It's because he is drunk!! (Note: If T260G does this, he 

won't get drunk, and neither will any mecs on the team.) It's entirely 

possible to navigate the swamp without fighting a single enemy, but in this

drunken state...expect to meet a few enemies here. This is why it's so 

important to come here earlier in the game. If your HP is over 500, the 

enemies here will be those annoying squids!! They are trouble enough to kill

normally, let alone DRUNK!! (When you're drunk, it causes various status

ailments to all your team members, excluding mecs, during battle.) When you

reach the shrine, stand between the pillars and you'll get the card!!



---Wakatu---

Treasures: CometBlade, Iron Clogs, Twin Dragon, ArcanaTarot



Ok, so you need the Saber Card which is in Wakatu, but the men at the 

Koorong port won't allow entrance unless someone from Wakatu guides you 

there. Well, I guess it's time to find a native of Wakatu. Still in Koorong,

talk to the skeleton in the lower section of town to learn about Gen, who is

in fact, from Wakatu. Unfortunatly, Gen is (as usual) wasting all his time 

in the Scrap Pub getting drunk... Oh well, might as well pay this guy a 

visit. When you talk to Gen, he denies being from Wakatu and refuses to 

help. But he soon reconsiders, agrees to help, and joins you. You can now 

freely travel to Wakatu, so let's go! Immediatly in Wakatu, talk to the 

skeleton and he'll transport you into the main part of the town. Now go up 

through the door and go left. Gen will step out and show you the correct 

path. Head right and ignore the upper path. Now go right until you come to a 

crossroads. If you go right, you can see a treasure chest, but there is no 

way of getting it, so just ignore it and go back and take the upper path. 

You'll be in front of an open building. Enter through the open door and 

defeat the slime. Now go back and Gen will step out and head right. Follow 

him onto the next screen and the path splits again. Head up first. eep going 

until you come to a place where the path divides into 2, one leading left, 

and one leading down. Head down first and enter the building, go down the 

steps, and go left. You'll be in the 'Blade Chamber'. If Gen is built up 

enough, you'll receive a powerful CometBlade here. Leave the building and 

keep going left. Eventually you'll come to a dead end and a treasure (Iron 

Clogs). Now backtrack to the crossroads where you left Gen, and this time, 

go down. Another crossroad!!! Head down and take the Twin Dragon from the 

chest, (BTW, this is the one you may have seen near the beginning, but 

couldn't get) but watch out, there is a group of 3 souped up ghosts who can 

be dangerous. Go back up and walk next to the castle. There is a partially 

hidden door to the left.(Note: Going to the center of the upper or lower 

wall brings you outside on a roof, but I don't know what purpose this 

serves.) Enter it and climb the stairs on the upper right corner of the 

screen. You'll come to an darkened room that looks to be a dead end. Walk 

around the room and enter a VERY hard to see door on the right side of the 

room, then climb the stairs in the next room. Now, in this final room, stand 

between the 3 lamps and some shadows will start flashing on the wall, and 

occationally, you'll hear swords clank. The trick here is to push the O 

button at the exact same time you hear the clank - it's not too hard, but if 

you mess up, you'll have to fight a battle. When you get it right, you'll 

get the Saber Card!!



---IRPO/Mosperiburg Mountain---

Treasures: SanctuaryStone, OctopusBoard, KrisKnife, 1000 Credits, Lordstar,

GoldenFleece, ArcanaTarot



Now head for the IRPO and talk to the lady at the desk. You'll be sent to an

office. After a few moments, Fuse walks in and you explain to him that you

need the Shield Card. Yeah, right, like he's just gonna hand it over!

Fuse will tell you that if you want the card bad enough, that you must do 

something in exchange. There is a flower that only blooms once every 1,000

years on the mountains behind Mosperiburg, and it's up to you to get it. 

You'll now be transported to the mountain, and Fuse has joined your team.

In the first area, you'll notice a fairy floating around...KILL IT!! You'll

see why in a minute. Go up to the next part of the mountain and you should

see a small cave on the left wall; enter it and you'll see a LOT of 

treasure, but unfortunatly, it's guarded by 2 fearsome dragons...



:::Defeating the Dragons:::



There are 2 dragons here, A red one and a black one. The Red Dragon only has

about 4,000 HP and can be easily beaten, but the Black Dragon is a totally

different story. The black dragon gets 2 turns every round and can use some

dangerous attacks like TitasWave and StoneGas, both of which do considerable

damage. Use your best attacks on it like RosarioImpale or DSC (if you think

you can spare the WP). When you win this battle, you might win a 

DragonShield, but odds are you'll get a lousy Protector instead. The Black 

Dragon seems to have 25,000-30,000 HP.



Now take the treasures they were guarding, it's everything listed above. 

(Except the ArcanaTarot, of course)



Leave the cave and continue up into another cave. Inside, you'll see 2 

caves, the one on the right has a frozen Suzaku in it, and the one on the

left is the way out. Head left first into a small canyon with 3 boars 

running around. (This is optional, you may just skip past it if you don't 

want Suzaku on your team.) If you see a snowman at the bottom of the canyon, 

fight it. After it's beaten, go back to the cave with the frozen Suzaku in 

it, and the Suzaku will join you!! If there isn't a snowman, or is one on 

the left side of the canyon, go back and fight the fairy at the beginning of 

the area until the snowman appears at the bottom of the screen. When it 

finally does, fight it, it's a giant snow creature called Jotnar.



:::Defeating Jotnar:::



This battle would be tough if it wasn't for the fact that Jotnar can be 

killed in one hit by the Death spell. (True, no one has the gift for Arcane 

magic yet, but Dr. Nusakan begins with this spell.) If Nusakan isn't on your

team though, it'll be tougher. Use IceCrystals and PearlHearts to block his

ice and water attacks, but if he uses Windblast, watch out!!



Now, since you took all the trouble beating Jotnar, why not go back to the

Suzaku cave and sign up this high-powered phoenix! Now just continue up the

mountain until you come to the flower bed. Touch the flowers and a not-so-

friendly Suzaku will fly down and attack you.



:::Defeating Suzaku:::



The Death spell does the trick here too, but if you want to beat this guy 

the hero's way, here's what to do. Equip FireCrystals and use FireBarrier

to stop his fire based attacks. Try NOT to use any direct attacks on Suzaku, 

as he has a permanent FireBarrier, which will hurt you for more than 200 

damage every time you hit him!! OUCH!! If he uses HeatWave, you're in 

trouble, but most of his other attacks are pretty mild. You shouldn't have 

much trouble with this one.



After beating Suzaku, you'll be warped back to IRPO where Fuse will now give

you the Shield Card.



(Note: If you're playing as Red when you do this, and you have Fuse on your

team, you will automatically be given the card without having to come here.

This would be fine except for the fact that you can't get Suzaku or any of

the powerful items here if Fuse has alreasy joined you.)



---Baccarat---

Treasures: ArcanaTarot



One of the easier quests. Start by buying exactly 4 GoldIngots at Nelson (or

Koorong, if you're feeling wealthy). Now go to Baccarat and talk to the 

bunny girl who is wearing purple 3 floors below the top floor. (If you've

played Emelia's chapter before, you'll recognise the purple bunny girl to be

Emelia in disguise.) She'll tell you about the gnome spirits. At that point,

a gnome is seen walking across the room, and Blue and the bunny girl follow

it up that stairs. Go around the room and you'll see the gnome climb up the

next staircase - follow it! When you reach the top floor, you'll see the 

gnome and the bunny girl get into an elevator and dissappear. Climb back 

down and take another elevator down to the parking lot. Walk down and you'll

notice that the manhole is opened. When you start to climb down it, Emelia

will stop you, introduce herself, and offer to join you. After meeting 

Emelia, go down the manhole. You're now in a multi-colored cave with many

passageways. Go all the way to the left and take the lower opening. Now go

left, into the wall; as inconspicious as it seems, there is a door here. 

Climb down the ladder and enter the opening on the upper wall. You'll be in

a room filled with various gold objects that are being guarded by a group of

gnomes.  Talk to the gnomes sitting at the table and one of them will tell

you how much they love gold. (Now isn't THAT obvious... ^_^) Talk to the

gnome again and he'll take your GoldIngots, and assuming you brought at 

least 4 with you, you'll be given the Gold Card in exchange!! 



(Note: If you have more than 4 GoldIngots, the gnomes will take ALL of them,

and if you have less than 4, they'll take them and you'll get nothing.)



YAHOO!! Now that you should have all 4 Arcane Cards, you'll get the gift for

Arcane magic!! Ready to collect Time or Space magic yet?



---Mind Magic - Kyo---

Treasures: None



This isn't required work, but if you'd like Mind Magic, simply go to Kyo and

buy it!! You can't get the gift for it yet, so return here after the fight

with Rouge. When the time comes to obtain the gift, all your human 

characters will have to fight one-on-one battles with relatively easy 

enemies. Upon finishing all the battles, all the characters who were able to

win will get the gift for Mind Magic. Only humans can learn and use Mind 

Magic, not mystics. But since there's no way for anyone but Zozma to get the

opposite magic (Evil magic), I see no real reason not to give the gift of

Mind Magic to every human in your team!!



---Quest For Time Magic - Facinaturu/TimeLord's Region---

Treasures: SandVessel (Accessory)



So...you want Time Magic? Fine. Start by going to Mosperiburg and talking to

Virgil, the Ring Lord. He'll ask you if you're interested in Time magic --

say yes and you'll be transported to TimeLord's Region. All Time is stopped

here, and only Blue can move. Just explore until you find a big broken 

hourglass with purple sand spilling out of it. Examine the busted timepiece,

then return to the entrance and leave the same way you just came in. You're

now back in Mosperiburg. Go back up and tell Virgil that the hourglass in

TimeLord's Region is broken. Virgil will tell you that if you could collect

some of the sand and pour it over the hourglass, it would get things moving

again, then tells you about an artisan in Facinaturu who could probably make

soimething to hold the magical sand in. You're now asked if you want to go 

to Facinaturu. Once you arrive in Facinaturu, go talk to Gozarus, the mystic

who lives in the house just outside of Chateau Aiguille. He sells items and

takes your Max LP in exchange!! Buy the SandVessel from him (and the Asura, 

if you feel confident that you won't die very often), then use the RegionMap

to travel back to Mosperiburg. Before you go though, you might want to buy

some Mystic Magic in Facinaturu; you'll find out why later. Anyway, talk to

Virgil again and you'll get sent back to TimeLord's Region. Make your way 

back to the hourglass and examine it again to collect the sand, then run up

to the top of the hourglass and pour the sand over it; time will restart and

you'll be able to meet TimeLord. In addition, you also get a new SandVessel

accessory, which prevents against petrify attacks -- equip it on someone. 

When you reach the bridge, make a quicksave, then enter the room beyond it,

you'll now come face to face with the Time Lord himself...



(Interesting enough, in the room where you meet TimeLord, you'll can see the 

'Serpentarius' Zodiac sign from Final Fantasy Tactics carved on the floor!!)



:::Defeating TimeLord:::



Now don't get any funny ideas here, TimeLord is HARD!! However, there IS a 

trick here. The easy way to beat him is to have Blue cast PsychicPrison on

every turn to stop his magic, however, if you traded your Realm Magic for

Mystic Magic, it's tougher. Be sure you have some good, high grade armor

because after 3 or 4 turns, TimeLord will unleash his powerful OverDrive 

spell, which stop everyone but him for 7 turns!! If he uses ChaosStream or

QuickSand, you're in trouble, but he usually wastes his turns using Delay

Order, PoisonusBlow (sic), and PhantasmShot, none of which do much damage to

you. If you can survive OverDrive, you're basically home free, as he loses

all his JP so he can't use magic anymore, and the rest of the battle should

be easy.



After beating TimeLord, you'll get all the Time Magics. First of all, start

by giving Blue MegaWindblast (or ShadowServant, if you got Shadow Magic),

Tower (If you have it, it's Arcane Magic), and OverDrive. Now leave Time

Lord's Region, and Blue will finally meet up with his brother Rouge...



---Quest for Space Magic - Kylin's Paradise---

(Thanks to BaddKarma@worldnet.att.net for the entire area)

Treasures: None



When you first enter Kylin's Paradise, you obviously see that it's a strange

place, unlike any other region in the game.  Enter the building with what 

looks like a rotating flower on top of it. Once inside, head up to talk to

Kylin. He will ask "Can he try you out". Answer yes, and you will be sent to

another area. This stange place is actually a maze. It's not that difficult,

but it can confuse you.  First walk across the waffles towards the upper 

right and enter the farthest door to the upper right. In the next room,

enter the door to the upper right. When you come out the door, you will see 

a blocked door in front of you, ignore it for now and head down, then to the

left, and enter the door. In the next area, just head down and enter the 

door. You should be in a weird room full of windows and a colorful swirling

pattern in the background. Head up, then left. When you come out, there 

should be a pink circular platform to the upper left with a shamrock on it.

Grab the shamrock and head back into the door. Now head down, then down 

again. In the next area, head to the upper door and enter it. You should be

back in the room with the blocked door. You now have the key to the door, 

which was the shamrock. Open it and you will find yourself under the walkway

now, head down and enter the door. In the next room, head down and enter the

furthest left door. Now enter the door immediately in front of you, and you 

should switch back to the top of the walkway. Walk forward to a small blue 

container. Touch it and you will shrink. (You can touch it again to become 

normal, but you need to be small to finish the maze). After shrinking, go up

and enter the small door at the top. In the next room, go down, right, then 

up and enter the small door at the top. You should be in one of those weird 

rooms again, except now the swirling pattern is pink. Head left, then down.

Now you should be standing on a row of pink presents with a blue lever in 

front of you. Touch the lever to switch it, then re-enter the door. Head

right, then down. In the next room, head down and enter the small door. Now

head up then enter the cup. You will be bounced to another area of the maze.

Now head left, then up and enter the big white door. YAY!!! you completed 

the maze! Now go up and talk to Kylin. If you're playing any other quest 

(Besides Riki and T260's of course), he will offer to join you or sell you

Space Magic, but since Blue needs the gift for Kylin's magic, you have to 

fight him.



:::Defeating Kylin:::



Kylin isn't as powerful as TimeLord, but for something that looks like a 

mutant horse/poodle hybrid, he can mess you up if you're careless. as soon 

as the bellte begins, Kylin will cast LightShift which will cause him to 

regain 1,000 HP every round of fight, so high damage moves are a must. (If

you have any monsters with the Photosynthesis skill, this will cause the

monster to regain HP also.) Most of his attacks are pretty mild, VaporBlast

and FlameBlast won't do too much damage, but he will sometimes use Sacred

Song, which any harmonium equipment will protect you from. Kylin also casts

Vortex from time to time, so casting any status enhancing spells is futile.

The attack to watch out for is ReverseGravity -- This spell HURTS, and it 

could possibly kill off your entire party if you're not leveled up enough,

and it doesn't help that he casts it quite frequently!! If you do survive 

ReverseGravity, your party probably is most likely pretty banged up, so if 

possible, equip at least 3 of your characters with healing spells or items.

Magic won't do very much damage to Kylin, as he has a high magic defense, so

use physical attacks, such as Suplex, GiantSwing, NoMoment, TripleThrust, 

or anything better and you should be fine. (WARNING: DSC DOES NOT work on 

Kylin!!) Just keep dishing out the attacks and heal whenever he casts 

ReverseGravity, and you should make it. Kylin seems to have somewhere around

30,000 HP and once you beat him, you will get the gift for Space Magic!



---Blue Vs. Rouge---



You won't fight Rouge until you leave TimeLord's Region or Kylin's Paradise,

so it's imperitive that you have some good spells equipped. I hope you chose

to get Arcane and Time Magic, because this battle could be difficult without

them... When ready, be prepered to face Rouge in a 1-on-1 battle...



:::Defeating Rouge:::



This is an unusual battle for two reasons. First is the fact that magic 

works differently here. Every two rounds of fight, a message will come up 

saying "Magisphere: (Magic Name)" Whatever type of magic it calls will be 

the most effective until the next time you get the message. All other magics

still work, but they aren't as effective. Second is the fact that the goal 

is different here. Whenever either Blue or Rouge gets defeated, they will

automatically revive, but will lose an LP. The first one who drains the 

other person's LP to 0 is the winner. Anyway, if the magisphere calls up 

Light Magic, use MegaWindblast to kill Rouge in one hit, and drain one of 

his LP. Now just keep delaying the battle, curing after Rouge attacks you,

or just keep attacking Rouge until the Magisphere calls up Arcane Magic.

Now use OverDrive. You'll freeze Rouge and be able to use 8 attacks on him.

Use Tower for all 8 turns, and you'll have this battle won easily.  If you 

DON'T have Tower, use OverDrive followed by 8 servings of MegaWindBlast or

ShadowServant then 7 DarkSpheres. If you don't have OverDrive, just forget

about winning this battle, as Rouge can (and will) use OverDrive on YOU!!



After beating Rouge, Blue will ponder his existance, then decide to go back

to Magic Kingdom to find out the truth about himself. The RegionMap screen 

will then appear, but instead of going straight to Magic Kingdom, go 

somewhere else and save your game. Also, be sure to check your magic list...

Now that you've beaten Rouge, you have ALL the magic he had, and if you 

bought Mystic Magic earlier, you'll keep that, and gain your Realm magic 

back too!! Now if you want Mind Magic to complete your collection of spells

(No, you can't get Evil or Mirage Magic), go to Kyo and buy some. (See 

above) Now that you have all these new spells, this would probably be a good

time to take on some of those optional bosses like King Sei and the Earth

Dragon, and explore some optional areas. In any case, whenever you're ready, 

use the RegionMap and transport to Magic Kingdom...



---Magic Kingdom---

Treasures: NornsBangle



As soon as you arrive here, it will be quite apparent that something evil is

here, as the entire town is destroyed!! Start by crossing the narrow bridge

and kill the Dullahan on the other side. Now head for the metal walkway in

the northern part of town (behind the area where the big wall is in every

other quest). Walk along the pipes until you reach the end, then climb down 

a hard to see ladder on the right side of the screen and decend into the

underground. This is where all the citizens of Magic Kingdom are, however,

most of them are dead or dying. Talk to the purple haired guy to learn what

happened to the town, after talking to him, climb down what looks like a 

small blue waterfall and go all the way down to the very bottom of the cave.

You'll end up in a room with some monsters standing next to an altar with

three glittering crystals on it. Defeat the monsters (A Dullahan, a 

RockScout, and a Giant), then take the crystals in this order: Left, Right,

Center. If you did it right, you'll get the NornsBangle, a gauntlet which

protects against sleep. If you messed up (which is pretty hard to do), 

you'll have to fight a monster. Once you have the bangle, climb back up the

rope, but instead of going all the way back up, stop just before reaching

the top (on the very top platform, where you can walk). Walk to the left and

climb down another rope. Now walk down the statues and examine the lower 

one. Blue will mumble something about a fake goddess, then you'll be 

transported to a room with a bunch of babies, and 2 wizards. They will 

explain that someone broke the seal to Hell, and the demons have destroyed

the town. Then they tell Blue to defeat the demons in Hell, or they (the

demons)will destroy the world. After they finish talking, some monsters will

drop down and you'll have to fight them. After beating them, talk to the two

guys again, then step in the light in the center of the room and you'll be

sent back outside to the statues. Climb down the statues and you'll be in a

room with more dead Magic Kingdom citizens. There's a small triangle shaped

room here where you can get a message about goddesses, but nothing very

special. Head up and enter the next room and talk to the man standing next

to what looks like a bunch of blue clouds. Blue will ask if he can get to

Hell (^_^) from there. The man says he can transport you there, but you 

won't be able to leave until you defeat the leader of the demons. He'll then

ask if you're ready to go. When you're ready to go, say yes and the man will

take your RegionMap and send you to Hell.



---Hell---

Treasures: MaxCure, BloodChalice, SanctuaryStone, DragonSword



Well... Hell isn't exactly as scary as you'd think it is... It actually 

looks something like Heaven!! This, however, is an illusion, and the little

angels here are actually monsters in disguise. As soon as you enter Hell, 

you'll receive the message "The power comes flowing...", don't worry, this

just means your WP, JP, and LP have been restored. This place is actually

pretty straightforward, so just keep going straight ahead. There's a place

where you can walk off onto the clouds and pick up a SanctuaryStone, but

other than that, there's nothing here until you reach the next area. 

After crossing the purple bridge, you'll be in a big room full of small,

round platforms. You move around here by jumping from platform to platform.

Your goal is to reach the door in the upper left corner, but there are a few

treasures here too: The box on a high platform above the entrance contains

a BloodChalice, the treasure box near the exit has a MaxCure inside, and the

box just below the entrance is a Mimic Box, so just ignore it unless you

really want to fight it. After finishing this room, you'll move on to the

next area, which is 2 big spiraling staircases. Taking the staircase on the

left will bring you straight to Hell's Lord (just step on the 2 gold 

circles), but going right will get you a NICE sword!! (This part here covers

the path to the right, if you went left, just skip this part and go straight

to "Defeating Hell's Lord".) Enter the first door you come to, then go right

and enter another door. You should see an angel blocking the way to a golden

treasure, this is no normal monster, this is the Dragon Lord!!



:::Defeating the DragonLord:::



Actually, this isn't a very tough battle. Just use attacks like Life 

Sprinkler, because this sword-weilding dragon can use both Deflect and 

Kasumi. The Dragon Lord has a tremendous amount of HP (well over 50,000), 

but it's not that hard if you stick to non-blockable attacks. After beating

him, you may win a DragonShield, but the real reason for fighting this guy

is to grab the DragonSword from the treasure behind him. This sword has a 

whopping 72 attack power, making it the second most powerful sword in the

game!! Be sure to equip it!!



Anyway, whether or not you fought the Dragon Lord, enter the door to the 

upper left of the D. Lord's room and step on the circle tile on the right

side of the room... You'll now be standing before the king of Hell 

himself... Before fighting him, use a SanctuaryStone to heal up, equip 

someone other than Blue/Rouge with a SnakeOil, then equip Blue/Rouge with 

the following spells: OverDrive, StasisRune, ShadowServant, Sacrifice, 

Tower, Reviva, Lifewave, and Shield. Now get ready to fight!!



:::Defeating Hell's Lord:::



Start the battle by having Blue cast Shield, and having the other members

either use something low-level (like DoubleSlash), or just defend. Now have

Blue cast OverDrive, then, for the 8 spells you can now use, choose Shadow

Servant, Tower 6 times, then StasisRune. After the chain of spells is over,

have someone use a SnakeOil on Blue to remove StasisRune's paralyzing 

effect, then wait for it to wear off of Hell's Lord (shouldn't take long).

When StasisRune finally wears off, Blue will NOT have lost all his JP, and

will still be able to attack 8 times!! Have him cast Reviva on everyone, 

then cast Lifewace until his JP runs out (which is shouldn't). Everyone else

should use their best attacks like LifeSprinkler, Tres Flores, Rosario 

Impale, DSC, and others. After doing enough damage to Hell's Lord, the 

screen will freeze up, the screen will turn gray, and you'll get a message

saying "The End"... Yes, that's the whole ending... ^_^



%%%%%Asellus%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%



---Start---



Asellus's bizarre quest begins in the realm of mystics - Facinaturu. A 

girl named Gina will tell you the story of Facinaturu and the tyranny of 

Chateau Aiguille. Then Asellus (finally...) wakes up in the Chateau 

(yeah, it's a confusing beginning) and she discovers that her clothes 

are torn and she's covered with blood. She has no idea what has 

happened...the last thing she can remember is being run over be a 

carrage. The next thing she knew, she was here!! After a minute, a 

mystic will show up and talk for a while about the mystics and their 

leader, Orlouge, then he will leave. You now have control of Asellus.



---Facinaturu---

Treasures: None



Leave your...er...bedroom and look around the chateau. You may come 

across a room with some VERY powerful items in it, but when you try to 

leave, you'll lose them; don't worry, you can take them later. Look 

around more if you like, but when you're done, go to the tower to the 

right of the room you just came from. You'll meet another mystic, Zozma, 

who will then run off. Next, go to the spiral tower on the left side of 

the chateau. Enter the warp and go into the next room. Asellus will be 

stabbed by another mystic. She has...PURPLE BLOOD!!!??? Simple, Asellus 

is a human (humans have red blood), but after she was run over by 

Orlouge's carrage, she was given a transfusion of mystic blood (mystics 

have blue blood), and thus the two combined make purple blood... Anyway, 

after this, leave the tower and head for the throne room. You'll meet a 

whole lot of mystics here: Orlouge, the king of the mystics (a.k.a. 

Charm Lord); Ildon, the one who you met after waking up (he looks like 

a vampire with a bad hair day ^_^); Ciato, the white-haired, snobbish 

looking guy who stabbed you; and finally, Rastaban, the guy in the 

exotic purple robes. Orlouge will explain that Asellus, despite being 

half human, is still obligated to the mystics for saving her. He will 

send you to get a new dress and then to seek training from Ildon and 

Princess White Rose (who is one of only about 100 princesses in 

Orlouge's realm......)

Ildon will join you before leaving.



---Training---

Treasures: Knife



Now head for the town of Rootville and enter the house in the middle of 

town, that's the tailor's house. Here, Asellus will change into her new 

dress and you'll go back to the Chateau. From here, go up the staircase 

on the right side of the main room, this is the training room. Go up and 

Ildon will make you fight. Try to beat the monsters and learn abilities 

(don't worry about being weaponless, Ildon will give you a knife at the 

beginning of the training session). Just keep fighting and don't worry 

if you die. When you've had your fill for now, go to the tower to the 

left of Asellus's room; there, you'll meet Princess White Rose, she'll 

join you. Now go to the other 2 rooms, you'll find out that one of them 

belongs to the Lion Princess, a powerful warrior. The other room belongs 

(or belonged) to Princess Rei, an escaped...well...princess...

Note that if you ever return to Asellus's room, Ildon and White Rose 

will leave you, use this to your advantage later. Go back to Rootville 

and talk to that green-skinned mystic (Gozarus) in the house next to the 

exit. He will offer to sell you items, but instead of money, he'll take 

your LP instead (that is, he lowers your maximum LP PERMANANTLY!!!) I 

don't recommend doing this, but the Asura is an EXTREMELY powerful 

weapon, you should buy it. The lineup is like this:



3LP: Asura - powerful magical sword, ATK 70, raises all stats +7

2LP: Tao-TeihPattern - accessory, protects from psychout

1LP: ShadeRobe - armor, DEF 9, Restores non-mecs HP in battle

1LP: SandVessel - need to collect Time Magic or sign up TimeLord



Buy whatever you want for now, but I warn you, DON'T BUY EVERYTHING!!! 

AND before leaving, Gozarus gives you a CharmNecklace. Also in 

Rootville, there is a shop that sells Mystic Magic (for money), but odds 

are, you don't have the cash needed to buy them yet, so skip them for 

now. If you've bought the Asura, return to the training grounds and now 

you should be able to win all the fights easily. Keep going until Ildon 

says "Stop!!" Go outside and you'll meet Rastaban, who will then run 

off. Go back to your room and lose Ildon and White Rose. Alone, go back 

to Rootville and go to the tailor shop and talk to Gina upstairs. Return 

to Chateau Aiguille and Ciato will be waiting for you at the entrance. 

Talk to him and he'll tell you to talk to a man in the pub in order to 

leave Facinaturu... Go to the pub and talk to the guy Ciato just 

mentioned - he'll agree to help you escape if you bring him some money. 

Now go and get White Rose again (she's back in her room), she'll give 

you some GoldIngots and join you again. You also may want to go to Rei's 

room,  you'll hear more about the escaped princess. (Also, if you visit 

Rei's room twice, once when you have both Ildon and White Rose, and once 

with only White Rose, Rei will be able to join you later.) Also, return 

to Asellus's room and you'll meet Zozma again. (What Asellus says here 

is worthy of Cloud ^_^.) Now, if you want, go up to the hill where 

Asellus saw the monster earlier, and build up. White Rose will be a big 

help here. Sick of that repetitious music yet? Well, you can now change 

it. Climb the mountain, defeating the monsters along the way, and enter 

the big door at the top. You'll be back in the garden while the music 

from the trip to Chateau Aiguille from near the end of the game plays. I 

believe this is an oversight on Square's part, they probably didn't 

anticipate anyone going up here this early. (Not that changing the music 

helps much, it does nothing to deter the story, just changes the music :). 

After you've taken care of everything, return to the house that was locked 

earlier. Inside, talk to the slime and it will open a secret passageway. 

It's pretty straightforward from here. When you reach the end, the pilot who 

promised to help you escape isn't here... IT'S A TRAP!!! Ildon will appear 

and try to capture you again. Asellus will jump off a cliff saying "I'd 

rather die than return to that horrible place!!!" (meaning Facinaturu) but 

the pilot and his plane will then appear and Asellus lands on his plane, 

thus sparing her life. Then the pilot flies Asellus and White Rose out of 

Facinaturu at last!! (YAY!!!)



---Owmi--- 

Treasures: MaxCure x3, RubberSuit, GhostCannon, KrisKnife, 

SanctuaryStone, Magi-Water, RottenMeat, JetBoots, LeatherBoots, 

PearlHeart, JackalSword, ArmorGlove, ShellBracer, RubberShoes



In Owmi, White Rose will notice petals on the riverbed and recognize 

them to be writing of the water mystics. They read something like "Our 

daughter is missing". Talk to the people to hear rumors about this so-

called water mystic; then stay at the inn, it's free. Now go aroud to 

the right side of town and enter Lord Manor, the big house. Inside, the 

lord will come out. When White Rose tells him to release the water 

mystic, he is furious and throws you out, but then he reconsiders and 

allows you to see her. Go into the upstairs room and talk to the 

mermaid, she is Mesarthim, the famed Water Mystic. She notices the smell 

of a mystic and after finding out Asellus has Orlouge's blood, she 

immediatly tells her story. She explains that, while fishing, a human 

caught her in a fishing net. She was injured and the lord saved her, but 

she can't stand the smell of humans (as she's a mystic). Asellus plots 

to help Mesarthim escape. Lord won't let you use the front door, so 

you'll need to go through the basement. Before that though, go up to the 

bedroom on the highest floor but don't go in it; instead, go down into 

the partially hidden door and proceed to the attic to claim a KrisKnife 

and a GhostCannon. Now head for the main floor and go in the lower door, 

keep going until you see a door all boarded up, this leads to the 

basement - pass it for now. Go beyond the door and up to another room 

where you can take a MaxCure and a RubberSuit. Now return to the boarded 

up door and enter it, you're now in the basement. From the entrance, go 

down the stairs and into the big room; defeat the enemies there and take 

the treasures (Magi-Water and SanctuaryStone). Go down through the door 

into a room with 2 more treasures (JetBoots and RottenMeat). Go right 

and you'll be in a room behind a...SQUID!!!!! Fear not, this DevilSquid 

is *MUCH* easier than the Krakens you may have fought before. A neat 

trick here (and quite useful at that) is to remove Mesarthim's BlueElf 

armor and give it to Asellus. (White Rose would be even better, but she 

has her own armor which can't be removed.) This way, 2 people will live 

through the squid's Maelstrom attack. (The BlueElf and Mesarthim's 

MellowRing cancel water attacks.) When you win, you may gat an OgreGlove 

(it's random). Now the choice is yours, do you release Mesarthim, or 

collect more treasures. If you said treasures then go down the steps and 

collect more!! (Speaking of treasures, the one in the room with the 

squids is a trap that will dump you to a lower part of the basement!!) 

All the rest of the treasures mentioned are down there and the only 

thing to mention is the JackalSword, which is hidden on a pink platform 

in the biggest room below - behind a wall. When you're done exploring, 

go back to the room with the squid and proceed through the obscure door 

on the left. Mesarthim will leave you now and you'll be back in Owmi. Go 

back to the Port and talk to the pilot, Asellus will ask to be taken to 

Shrike where her aunt lives. Somewhere around here, you'll see a scene 

where Orlouge sends Ciato out to recapture White Rose and kill anyone 

who stands in his way. Ciato sends his 3 shadow sages to find White 

Rose.



---Shrike---

Treasures: None (At least, none in the town itself)



In Shrike, go to the house with the red roof, labeled "My House". (Of 

course, you can opt to get Cotton first, and build up if you'd like; see 

Red's walkthrough for info on getting Cotton.) When you enter "My 

House", Asellus will meet her aunt who won't recognize her. Auntie says 

that Asellus has been dead for 12 years!!! Asellus is, of course, 

shocked. Yes, she was run over and killed by Orlouge's carrage 12 years 

ago and hasn't aged a day since, she was revived by the transfusion of 

mystic blood. After this shocking news, an ominous voice calls to White 

Rose and tells her to return to Facinaturu. Asellus doesn't want her to 

go. The creature behind the voice then attacks the team, he is the 

FireSage, the first of the 3 sages sent by Ciato. Defeat him...



:::Defeating the FireSage:::



Actually, he's not too difficult if you're strong enough. Just keep 

attacking him, having White Rose heal you when necessary. An easy way to 

beat him is to have White Rose keep casting Glass Shield (and Asellus, if 

she has it).  Since he mostly uses physical attacks, he'll keep hurting 

himself. When you win, you'll get a FireCrystal (or a HarmoniumBangle) and 

Asellus will learn MysticSword, the first mystic skill. (You need to have 

one free slot in your skill list or you won't learn it; You get one mystic

skill from each of the three sages. If you somehow missed one, you can get

other mystic skills from LionPrincess and HunterKnight as well.)





Now...the confusing part comes in......you have to go through a series 

of events to find and defeat the 2 other sages...and many others...



---Getting Team Members---



Now would be a good time to start finding team members. You can get the 

following:



--Before the Dark Labyrinth--

Cotton: Bio Lab in Shrike, you probably already have him. 

Ildon: Random Location, see below, need to beat Lion Princess first

Lute: Scrap Pub

Gen: Scrap Pub, need to be looking for Cards

Thunder: In Yorkland, You must have Lute on your team first

Rouge: In the Luminous Airport

Emelia: Baccarat, Need to be collecting Arcane Cards

Annie: Outside of Restaurant in Koorong, Need to have found 3 runes

Fuse: IRPO, Need to be collecting Arcane Cards

Fei-on: In Tanzer, Need to be Collecting Runes 

Slime: Tanzer, Joins after getting the Vitality Rune

Silence: Omble (See Blue's Chapter)

Sei: (See Riki's Chapter)

Suzaku: Mosperiburg Mountain (See Team Member List)

TimeLord: (See Team Member List)

Kylin: (See Team Member List)



---After the Dark Labyrinth---

Zozma: Automatically Joins you after beating Dark Labyrinth

Rei: Shrine at Devin (See Team Member List)

RedTurnip: Talk to him in the Labyrinth and he'll join you after leaving

Mesarthim: Return to The place where you left her earlier.



Also, I strongly recommend that you go on either the Rune or the Arcane 

quests (or both), as there isn't much else to do at this point.



---Back to the Game---



Now, a chain of events will commence. You must complete each of these 6 

events before you can move on to the final area. They are in this order:



1. Defeat WaterSage



He's not especially tough, he can block your attacks, however. He 

attacks using water (well duh!!), so equip PearlHearts to block it. When 

you win, you'll most likely get the GenbuShield, a powerful piece of 

equipment, and Asellus will learn MysticGlove. (Again, you need to have 

an empty slot on your skill list.)



2. Defeat GreenSage



Well...he's harder than the fire or water sages, but still not much of a 

threat. He can use 2 devestating attacks: Windblast, which hits all 

members for 300+ damage; and CounterFear, if you use a normal attack, he 

will counter with this attack, which causes red mess!!! In addition to 

this, he can attack twice!! My advice is to use magic and attacks like 

GaleSlash that don't require you to actually touch him. Upon winning, 

Asellus will gain the MysticBoots skill. (For the third time, you MUST 

have an empty slot to learn this skill.)



After this, you'll see a cutscene in which Orlouge sends Lion Princess 

out to recapture White Rose, as Ciato's sages have failed.



3. Defeat Lion Princess



She's tough, but at this point, you should be tougher. She uses alot of 

sword based skills (including Kasumi...OUCH!!), but they can be blocked 

rather easily with shields and the Deflect skill. She can block too, but 

rarely does. So, all in all, Lion Princess is actually much easier than 

they say she is...



4. Meet Ildon



When you locate Ildon, instead of fighting you, he will join you!!



5. Defeat Ciato (HunterKnight)



Now for your old...er..."friend" Ciato...he's easier than Lion Princess 

and the sages, he just has a lot of HP. His attacks can be easily 

blocked, and even if they do hit, they do very little damage!! Just have 

fun with this one.



6. Enter the Dark Labyrinth



Now, once you find Orlouge's dreaded Dark Labyrinth, you'll immediatly 

see that it's a complex maze. To escape it, simply run through doors at 

random (as I can never remember the most direct path). Note that behind 

some doors, there will be monsters. When you finally enter a room with a 

small turnip monster, talk to the turnip and then exit through the big 

red door in the middle of the same room. You'll be out of the Dark 

Labyrinth, but White Rose will be gone!! She stayed in so you could get 

out... Now Zozma, the orange haired mystic from the beginning of the game 

will appear and join you. Also, if you talked to that turnip in the 

labyrinth, he will join you as well. Leave the screen and return to get 

the rest of your team members back. At this point, go back to the shrine 

at Devin and talk to the girl there. If you went into Rei's room enough 

times in Chateau Aiguille (once with Ildon and White Rose, and once with 

just White Rose), the girl will reveal herself as the escaped princess 

Rei and join your party, she is the only character capable of learning 

and using Mirage Magic!!



These 6 events are in no set places, but the places where they occur 

are, these are where you can find these events:



Shrike   - Mu's Tomb, left door leading to the place where Roufas is.

           Also in Sei's Tomb, in the big room where the shield is. 

Luminous - Just outside of the port

Devin    - The Shrine where Princess Rei is

Yorkland - Entrance to the swamp

Kyo      - in the Garden

Koorong  - In the Alleyway where there are 3 birds

Owmi     - Entrance to the basement of Lord Manor

Baccarat - In The Parking Lot

Shingrow - Entrance to the Upper-Right Ruin

Wakatu   - In front of the wrecked house partway into the town

(If you've seen these on another Asellus walkthrough, know that I made 

this list for them.)



After all 6 events are done, build up or do whatever you want, because 

if you return to Owmi, the pilot who helped you escape from Facinaturu 

will be back, and he'll return you there for your final mission...



---Facinaturu Revisited---

Treasures: SilverMoon, LightRifle, PowerBelt, HarmoniumArmor, 

HarmoniumEarring, GoldenLion, PlutoArmor



Now you're back in the cave below Facinaturu, pass through the cave and 

return to the surface. You'll notice that the music has changed. First, 

go to Gina's house and you'll learn from her father that Gina was 

kidnapped by the mystics!! Buy Mystic Magic from the nearby shop if you 

want to (you'll have plenty of money by now) and then...go to Chateau 

Aiguille... Immediatly inside, go to the room near Asellus's bedroom, 

you can now take all the treasures there that you were too weak to carry 

before (everything listed above except the PlutoArmor and GoldenLion). 

Also (and this is optional) go to the 3 princess's rooms and you'll see 

some cutscenes. Next, go to the spiral tower and you'll see that the 

warp there has been sealed!! So go around to that hill of monsters and 

fight your way up to the door (The rooms with the crystals restore your 

JP, WP and LP). This whole final area changes depending on your choices, 

here's how it goes:



---Save Gina!!--- (This is what happens if you save Gina)



First, defeat that big giant enemy blocking the window about halfway up 

the mountain: he can block, has strong attacks, and has a heck of a lot 

of HP, good luck. (Well...you could always try using TimeEclipse or another

stone spell...strange as it seems, the giant can be turned to stone!!!)

Open the window behind him after he's out of the way. 

Now go back to the room that looks like a church a little ways back and 

you'll see that a new door has opened. Enter it and fight the Griffen, 

he's the exact opposite of the giant: can't block, has weak attacks, and 

has low HP. When you beat it, Gina is saved. She'll reveal that is 

wasn't Orlouge that kidnapped her, and that it was in fact Rastaban!! 

(heh, heh, remember him?).



Go up through the big doors at the top of the mountain now, you'll be 

back in the garden. Go up to the room where Ciato told you to "LEAVE!!" 

earlier. Ciato will be back, talk to him and he'll transform into the 

BatKnight (and before you ask, NO!! I DON'T mean Batman!!!) 



:::Defeating the BatKnight:::



HAHAHAHAHA!!!! This battle is sinfully easy!! All BatKnight can do is 

paralyze you and cast weak Mirage Magic, and the paralysis usually lasts 

no more than one round!! He is accompanied by two SonicBats, but that 

doesn't matter in the least, he is SO Easy!! Actually...this battle is 

probably just here for the awesome music, it's the same music that plays 

while fighting MBlack in Red's chapter!!!



Climb up a little further and Lion Princess attacks you again.



:::Defeating the Lion Princess:::



This battle (which also has some cool music, IMO) is also quite easy. It 

seems that ol' Lady Leo hasn't improved her skill very much. Equip 

shields and she can barely touch you. This battle is, believe it or not, 

EASIER than the battle with BatKnight. After you win, you'll get the 

GoldenLion, a great sword with a whopping 75 attack power!!!!



Climb up the passage again and you'll fight yet ANOTHER boss, Rastaban 

this time. He turns into the Black Knight and attacks you.



:::Defeating the Black Knight::



Now, I'm not complaining or anything, but what's with all the cool 

battle music after such drab lifeless music in Chateau Aiguille?!?!

Black Knight is definatly harder than BatKnight and Lion Princess, and 

he has more HP too. His worst attack is probably SacredSong which hits 

the whole team for 300+ Damage!! He's pretty much easy, but be careful, 

he's unpredictable!! After winning, you'll get the PlutoArmor, a really 

NICE suit of armor!!



Continue up and climb to the balcony. Ildon will step out of your party 

and warn you that you are getting very close to Orlouge. He asks you 

whether or not you're ready, it really doesn't matter what you choose. 

Save now...Orlouge awaits......



Beat Orlouge for one of three endings.



---Half Human...Half Mystic...--- 



There are two ways to get the Half-Mystic ending. The easiest way is to

avoid using the Mystic skills, and not bother rescuing Gina. Climb up the

mountain and pass by the giant. When you reach the end, you'll still have to

fight BatKnight and The Lion Princess, but instead of attacking you, 

Rastaban will talk to you for a while, then just give you the PlutoArmor.

>From here, continue up and meet Orlouge, then defeat him for a different 

ending.



The other method for getting this ending is to save Gina by defeating the

Giant and Griffin, and absorbing monsters in Asellus' three mystic skills.



---Way of the Mystics--- (If Asellus decides she wants to be a mystic)



This is gotten basically the same as the Half-Mystic ending. Have Asellus 

absorb monsters in her three mystic skills, and choose not to save Gina. 

When you reach the Chateau, you'll have to fight BatKnight, then Lion

Princess. Rastaban won't fight you, and you'll get the PlutoArmor. The only

real difference here is that Rastaban and Orlouge say different things.



Anyhow, meet Orlouge and defeat him for the last (and in the words of 

SeigfriedH, the "god awful") ending! 



---Orlouge---



Now it comes down to the final battle......enter the room after Ildon 

warns you of danger. Follow the path past the room with the big rose 

until you reach Orlouge. Talk to him and he'll leave and wait for you in 

the rose room. Return there and fight him...the final battle awaits...



:::Defeating Orlouge:::



Yes, this is difficult. Orlouge seems to have around 60,000 HP and some 

pretty nasty attacks. He will randomly summon one of three evil spirits 

who will fight for him. They cause alot of status ailments, so have some 

SnakeOil and the Grail spell handy. Those strange pictures behind 

Orlouge will periodically join in to raise his stats. (Note: You can't 

defeat the spirits or pictures because you can't target them. Yes, You CAN

hit the spirits with Kasumi and Godless, but it doesn't damage them, so I 

didn't put anything!! You can stop nagging me about this now!!!!) After 

losing about 30,000 HP, Orlouge will call all 3 spirits, and then the 

fun (and I use the term loosely) begins... Orlouge has 2 deadly attacks: 

Selection, which causes every negative status ailment, and 3Mistresses, 

which hits all members for around 300-400 damage each!! If you are using 

Mesarthim, make the most of her by using LifeRain. For attacks, use your 

best ones like LifeSprinkler, RosarioImpale, Tres Flores, and NoMoment 

(which BTW, never misses). Take off about another 30,000 damage from Orlouge 

and he's pretty much dead. Congratulations, you've finished another chapter 

of SaGa Frontier.



Now sit back and watch whatever ending you've achieved!!



----End----



%%%%%T260G%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%



---Start---



T260G's chapter begins with a spaceship that is under attack while all its 

people are abandoning it; leaving it to crash into a small town called Junk,

creating a big crater where it crashed. T260G finally comes into play here, 

as he was left on the ship when it crashed. T260G awakens in a junkyard 

where he catches a quick glimpse of a little boy just before completely 

losing power.



The little boy, Thyme, then brings the robot back to his home where it is

repaired by his Uncle Taco, an octopus with an aptitude for machinery.

T260G wakes up, although he doesn't exactly seem especially grateful for 

Uncle Taco's hard work... Thyme and his sister Rose ask the robot for it's 

name. Here you can rename T260G anything you'd like. After naming him, Uncle

Taco pipes up and demands that you add a G to the end of whatever name you 

picked. (So if you named him Max, his new name would be MaxG, just as an 

example...and no, I don't especially like going through the game with a G at

the end of his name...^_^) Anyway, you finally gain control of T260G now. 



---Junk/Combat Arena---

Treasures: 100 Credits, 200 Credit, 400 Credits, Junk, BrokenBumper, 

BrokenRifle, JunkHelm, Bumper, EasyRifle, Cure, RepairKit



Explore the town now. Thyme won't let you enter any of the houses except for

his own, and the small building above his house, which is a shop. Go to the

shop and buy a few RepairKits, you'll probably need them. You'll also notice

that the shop has 2 *REALLY* powerful (although expensive) guns for sale; at

10,000 credits apiece, there's no way you can afford them, but don't worry, 

you can buy the very same guns at Koorong later for much less. After 

fully exploring the town, leave and explore the rest of this region. You'll

get some messages if you go to the crater or to the port, although there is

nothing else here yet. When you're finally ready, go to the fighting arena 

in the lower right end of town. Once here, walk around and enter the lower 

door and talk to Gen, who is sitting at the table. Gen will ask Thyme if

he plans to enter T260G in the fighting tournment. Thyme, who is probably

dying to see his new robotic buddy in action, agrees. Now leave and go in 

the upper door and talk to the slime, and it'll ask if you're going to 

compete. If you're ready, say yes. You'll fight an A-Tractor, just use your

JunkBazooka to attack it once, and then finish it off with punches, your

reward is a BrokenBumper.  Talk to the slime again, and he'll give you 100 

credits and ask you if you'd like to fight again, say yes. (For fun, you can 

talk to all the people after the fights, they certainly aren't happy about 

some newcomer trashing the veteran fighters...) Your next battle is against 

a FlyMec - it's also easy, just beat it the same way you did with the last 

enemy. Your reward is a piece of junk!! (Yes, it's an item.) Now, once

again, talk to the slime. You'll get a 200 Credit bonus and will be asked to

fight again. Your final opponent is a Guncart. It's a bit tougher than the 

last 2 enemies, but it's still not all that hard. You get a BrokenRifle for 

beating it. Now that the fights are done, talk to the slime one last time

for a 400 credit prize. Ok, so you've won a bunch of broken items in these

battles...who do you know that could fix these things...hmm...AH!! Uncle

Taco!! Go back to (Sir) Taco's house and talk to him, he'll repair your

3 junk items and will give you the following:



Junk becomes JunkHelm

BrokenBumper becomes Bumper

BrokenRifle becomes EasyRifle



Equip these new items and things will get much easier. Now go back to the 

arena and talk to Gen again. Rose will run in and say a robot messenger was

sent by a man named Caballero (you'll find out more about this creep later),

and is threatening to hurt people if they don't obey him!! T260G now attacks

the enemy mec. This battle is almost impossible to win if you didn't fix the

3 junk items first. If you did, just use your JunkBazooka on him for the

first round of fight, then keep shooting at him with the EasyRifle until 

he's nothing but a pile of scrap!! During all the confusion, however, Thyme

was kidnapped by some of Caballero's henchmen!! Gen joins you for your next 

mission, which is to save Thyme. (Well, well, it's the "rescue the kid" 

plot...how original ^_^) Go back to the town and enter all of the houses and 

talk to all the people. A man in a house directly above Thyme's house (not 

the shop, the building above it) will give you a RepairKit, and a woman in a 

house next to his will give you a Cure. (Also, it would probably ba a good 

idea to stock up on Cures and RepairKits at the shop.) Now head for the 

crater and rescue Thyme!!



---Crater---

Treasures: FiberVest, SanctuaryStone



Once in the crater, head for the door and pick up Thyme's hat and go in the

door behind it. (If you tried to open the door earlier, nothing would 

happen.) You'll be in an underground cave. Go down and around and exit the

cave. In the grassy area, go into the upper cave and collect the FiberVest

inside. Back outside, try to walk on to the rusty red platform and T260G

will jump to it. Go in the lower door and you'll be in another cave - I 

don't see how you could get lost here. When you come out, you'll be in a 

swamp with another door and a passage leading upwards. Go in the door first

and collect a SanctuaryStone. After getting the stone, head upwards and 

enter the cave. This is where Thyme is being held hostage (tied up and 

hanging from the roof...) by Caballero's thugs, of which you now have to 

fight. (Could there be any other way?) This battle is easy, as Gen picked up

an IronPipe beforehand which you can now use in battle. After beating the 

thugs, Gen will use the pipe to cut Thyme down from the ceiling and you'll 

automatically be back at the town. Even though you stopped 2 of his troops, 

Caballero won't stop his cowardly attacks on Junk unless something is done. 

T260G wants to settle up with Caballero, but refuses to leave without 

"Captain Thyme's" permission. Thyme reluctantly lets his robotic buddy go, 

and you'll be transported to Scrap; and don't worry, Gen will be with you 

the whole way.



---Scrap/Caballero Factory---

Treasures: 400 Credits, KukriBlade, SteelAmulet, PowerCure



Once you arrive in Scrap, Gen, true to his nature, will run into the bar

and T260G will follow him. Talk to Riki and Mei-ling and they will join you.

Also, be sure to talk to Lute even though he won't join you yet. Now pay a 

visit to Caballero's office. (and since the lady who runs the port is 

charging 10,000 credits to leave, I doubt you will yet...) T260G and Gen 

tell Caballero to leave Junk alone, but the jerk just won't listen to reason 

and retreats to his factory in the north. So follow him. You may notice that 

every time you try to enter the factory, Lute steps out of the pub - just 

ignore him. Once on the factory ground, the choice is yours: do you go in 

the factory, or collect some treasures? If you said treasures, then the 

three little buildings are where you want to be. Start by going in the small

building on the right side of the screen and fight the monsters there. After

beating them, Lute will run in and join you. The building on the lower left

is full of monsters, but you can collect a KukriBlade inside. The building

on the upper left has a bag in it, but appears to be free of monsters... 

wrong!! As soon as you try to take the bag, you'll be attacked. Following 

the battle, you can take the bag for 400 credits. After you've had your fill

here, go into the factory. The factory is swarming with Caballero's men, and

they aren't there for looks either, they will attack you with Enemy Fire in 

every battle - something you DON'T want!! Fortunatly, you CAN get rid of 

these pests. From the entrance, ignore the enemy mec and hit the orange 

switch on the wall (it looks kinda like this "C="), it will activate the 

crane, which will pick up one of Caballero's men and drop him into a pipe, 

thus removing him and stopping Enemy Fire; but don't think that's it - there

are still 3 more of them. On the wall to the right of the orange switch is 

a partially hidden door, enter it and climb up. You'll be on an upper ledge 

with 3 switches. The one right next to where you just came from gets rid of 

another one of Caballero's men. Go left and you'll see 2 more switches. The 

upper one appears to have no use (yet), and the lower one will raise a crate

that was blocking another switch - you'll need this one later. Go back down 

the steps and try to avoid the monsters, as you're standing next to an Enemy

Fire goon. Go down and take the flashing crate, it contains a PowerCure. Now

go under the fence and flip the switch that the crate was blocking earlier, 

it will cause the crane to move back and forth. What you have to do here is 

time it right so the crane will grab the guard standing there. If you mess 

up, you'll have to fight a battle while getting pounded by Enemy Fire, so my

advice is...DON'T MESS UP!!! After catching the guard, take the crate he was

blocking to get a SteelAmulet. Go up and around the box on the small 

platform and hit the switch next to it. It will cause the platform with the 

box to rise. Backtrack to the upper platform with the 3 switches and hit the

upper left one - it will pick up the box that you just rose up, and drop it 

on the final guard. Now go back and talk to Caballero, he'll run off and 

leave you to fight his main forces: A VulcanII and 3 D-Tractors. This battle

shouldn't be much of a threat if you've stopped all the Enemy Firers. When 

you win, Caballero will promise not to attack Junk any more and allow you to

use the port to leave town. 



---Koorong---

Treasures: It's your choice...



There's really only one thing to do in Koorong, and that is to find some 

info. Go to the lower section of town and enter the dark house directly

behind the chicken. Go through the door and examine the computer, you'll be

given a lot of info about a small company in Shrike called Nakajima 

Robotics, an Inventor named Leonard in Manhattan, and a wrecked ship in 

Shingrow. Now visit these 3 locations, but first, you may want to collect 

some team members.



---Team Members---



I know your first thought is to get a team of all humans, but I strongly

suggest that you have at least 2 other mecs on your team (besides T260G),

as they will be of a lot of help now.



--Before Tartaros---

Cotton: Bio Lab in Shrike

Thunder: In Yorkland next to the windmill

EngineerCar: Nakajima Robotics, need a mec on your team.

ZEKE: Collect the robot mouse for the people in Nakajima Robotics

Annie: In Koorong outside the Restaurant, must have 3 runes first

Fuse: IRPO, must be collecting Arcane Cards

Emelia: Baccarat, Need to be collecting Arcane Cards

Fei-on: In Tanzer, Need to be Collecting Runes 

Slime: Tanzer, Joins after getting the Vitality Rune

Sei: (See Riki's Chapter)

Suzaku: Mosperiburg Mountain (See Team Member List)

Kylin: (See Team Member List)



---After Tartaros---

Leonard: He will automatically join you when you go to Tartaros

PzkwV: Talk to the mec in Koorong's back alley, Need Leonard on your team



Gen joined back in Junk and Riki, Mei-ling and Lute joined back in Scrap

T260G can't sign up TimeLord because Gozarus won't sell him the SandVessel



---Manhattan---

Treasures: None



Now that you have some team members, head for Manhattan. Once here, go in 

the burger shop at the mall and talk to the guy in yellow next to the

entrance, T260G will ask him about Leonard. The guy then brings you to

Leonard's lab... It turns out that this guy IS Leonard... Anyway, talk to

him again and he will examine T260G. When he's done, just leave his lab...

yep, that's all there is to do here. Go to Shrike now.



(Note: If T260G has changed forms at Nakajima Robotics, Leonard will ignore

you. T260G MUST be in his normal, Type 1, body before anything will happen.)



---Shrike/Nakajima Robotics/Sei's Tomb---

Treasures: Murakumo, Magatama, Mizukagami (all optional)



Well, what did that computer say about Shrike again? Ah, yes, Nakajima

Robotics; that should be your next stop. The men at Nakajima seem to be a 

bit worried about something. A quick investigation reveals that they sent a 

robot mouse to Sei's Tomb, but it hasn't returned yet. Talk to the leader

here, and he'll ask you to retrieve the mouse; accept, and you'll be sent to

Sei's Tomb. Once inside, head down the stairs and past the alter room. When

you reach a big wide opened room, go in the center door. Here, go to the 

upper left corner of the room to find the mouse, then return to Nakajima 

Robotics. Speak with the leader and he will take the mouse and say that he

has something for you. Head upstairs and then go back downstairs again, 

there will ba a blue robot waiting for you - this is ZEKE. Talk to it and

it will fly around for a minute and offer to join you. From here on, if you

talk to the bald leader guy, he will offer to chance T260G's body type to 

one of 7 different types, do this if you want. Now build up for a bit and 

head for Shingrow.



---Northwest Shingrow Ruins---

Treasures: Junk, RottenMeat, 200 Credits x3, MemoryBoard, JumpSuit, DuelGun,

HyperScale, Bolt Thrower, 500 Credits



When you arrive at Shingrow, head straight for the ruined ship in the 

northwest. Pass through the swamp and climb up the board entering the ship.

Once inside, you'll see that the path branches off in 2 directions - head up

first. Defeat the mec and touch the vines on the wall, they will move aside

revealing a secret door, enter it and proceed up into the next room. Here, 

head up and take the treasure on the floor (Junk). After taking the Junk, 

enter the obscure door on the left side of the room; go up and touch the

machine, you'll get a piece of RottenMeat. (Beware of the upper rooms; in 

one of them, you may encounter the Abyss Bat, an extremely powerful enemy 

that it's very likely you won't be able to defeat yet. If this happens, 

ignore the upper rooms until you're stronger.) Now backtrack to the 

crossroads and go down and you'll come to another crossroad - go down this 

time. Cross the metallic bridge and keep walking to the left. (Ignore the 

door on the upper wall now) Eventually, you'll come to a room containing 2 

treasures: A bag with 200 Credits inside, and a golden treasure that is 

actually a MemoryBoard. Go back to the room before this one and enter the 

upper door, you'll be in a big wide opened room. Go down the stairs and 

collect the JumpSuit on the ground and the hidden bag containing 200 Credits 

just below it. After taking these, go back up the steps and examine the 

upper wall until you find a hidden door. Climb the ladder and proceed up 

into a dark room. Now take the lower door in this darkend passageway and 

you'll find a bag containing 200 more credits!! Keep going down and you'll 

find another treasure (DuelGun)!! Go back to the dark room and this time, 

head left and collect the HyperScale in this room. Finally, in the dark 

room, take the upper passageway which leads to an upper bridge. Follow the 

path to the left and ignore the ladder, it's a dead end. When you reach the 

end of this path, head down the steps and open the hard to see treasure 

chest to get a Bolt Thrower. Now climb back up the steps and enter the 

secret door at the top - This leads to the main computer room. Once inside, 

take the bag (500 credits) then examine the computer, you'll get info about 

T 260, RB3, and HQ. Then you'll be allowed to download either Evasion Laser, 

CombatMastery, or ShootingMastery from the computer. (Assuming you don't 

have one of these, and you can only download one.) The computer will then go 

dead. Leave this place now. Go back to Nakajima Robotics now and you'll 

learn that good doctor Leonard was killed in an explosion at Manhattan. But 

it was no accident, he was assassinated by the men from Trinity!! Next, go 

to Manhattan and talk to Fuse (he's at the burger shop), he will confirm 

that Leonard was killed by Trinity, and tell you to pay a visit to Leonard's 

lab. At the Central Gate, show the guards your pass and they will let you 

into the lab. Once inside, examine the computer on the back wall, a robot 

will emerge, it is Leonard. He anticipated his death and copied his mind 

into a robotic body. Leonard tells you that you should go to Trinity's robot 

base, Tartaros, and see what the Trinity is up to. After talking, Robo-

Leonard joins you. Leave the lab and you'll be at the entrance to Tartaros.



---Tartaros---

Treasures: Osc-Sword, LaserCarbine, SecretBoard, PoweredSuit, ZenGun, 

HyperionBazooka, OctopusBoard, SanctuaryStone



Actually, you're not officially INSIDE Tartaros yet. Leonard tells you to 

sneak abord the train, and it will carry you to your destination. Go through

the opening and you'll come out at the GoldenGate, the true entrance to 

Tartaros. Head up and you'll be in a metal corridor which branches off both

lef and right, I suggest you go left, as it's shorter. Either way, in the 

big room, try to go through the upper door; it's locked. So go down the 

stairs and enter the door on the right. Now go up and enter the very hard to

see door on the left wall. Now head up and grab the Osc-Sword from the 

treasure chest there, and head back down. Go left and flip the switch on the

wall, this will open the locked door you passed earlier. Before leaving, go

up and take the treasure chest, it contains a LaserCarbine. Backtrack to the

locked door, which because you flipped the switch, is now unlocked - enter 

it. Now head up and go in the door, you'll be in the mining area. Once 

again, the path splits in 2 directions; head left first and enter the mine

tunnel. Now go up and enter the small door on the left wall. Inside, flip 

the switch and Leonard will step out and tell you that there are 3 more

switches like it and you must press them all. You may notice that there is a

new kind of walking mec in the room, if you touch it you'll fight a powerful

enemy called a BigDigger. You don't HAVE to do this, but it gets you some 

nice items. (See the end of this section for hints on defeating the 

BigDiggers.) Defeating this particular BigDigger earns you a PoweredSuit.

Now leave this room and head up into the next area. Once here, you'll

immediatly see another mine tunnel, enter it and flip the second switch; and

you should definently beat the BigDigger, as you'll win a HyperionBazooka!!

Now leave and go down the ladder in the previous room, you'll be in a low

passage. Go around to the right and climb on the wooden platform and open

the chest to get a SecretBoard. Still on the wooden walkway, enter the mine

tunnel on the left and flip yet another switch. The BigDigger here is harder

than the others, but when you beat it, have a mec absorb it to get 

DragonProgram. You'll also win an OctopusBoard from it. Now leave and go 

back down but don't climb the ladder yet, instead, go down the lower path 

until you reach a treasure chest (SanctuaryStone) and the final switch. Now

that all the switches have been hit, go back and climb up the ladder and  

cross the wooden bridge and enter the hard to see door on the lower wall.

There's a BigDigger here, which when defeated, earns you a ZenGun. Head

right and open the door and follow the path to the end, it's easy from here.



When you reach the main computer, Leonard will try all sorts of codes, but

it seems that the info they are searching for can only be found at the HQ, 

guess where you go next!!





:::Defeating the BigDiggers:::



Not so much a threat, as the fact that they have about 40-50,000 HP EACH!!

Their attacks are usually mild, but watch out for ChainHeat, which can 

kill a human in one hit. If you have LogicBomb, use it as it messes up their

status (like causing Stun, Red Mess or Paralyze). If they fall over, don't

laugh (tempting though it may be) because it means they're going to launch a

big attack. Also, one of them (the one in the northernmost switch room) can

use Maelstrom, protect against this with PearlHearts. There are 4 of these

pests total, and they aren't easy, but beating them earns you nice prizes!!



---HQ---

Treasures: MemoryBoard, BehemothRifle, LaserScope, Flame Thrower,

HEAT Bazooka, ExcelShield, HyperBlaster, GrainCannon, HarmoniumArmor



Leonard says that you can only get to HQ from the Manhattan port, so talk to

the ship manager there. Leonard will ask if you're ready to go to HQ; if 

you're not yet, just say no and you'll be able to travel as normal. When 

ready, just say yes. Once inside HQ, talk to the guy at the entrance - he

will restore you whenever you need it. There are many powerful items found

scattered around various rooms in HQ, they are all in small rooms guarded by

2 mecs. Ok...time for action. Start by going in the door on the left to 

collect a MemoryBoard, leave and go in the upper room, which contains a

BehemothRifle. Back in the main room, go right. Now traverse this walkway 

and enter the door on the left when you raech the end to get a LaserScope; 

then go right. You'll be in a donut-shaped room. Climb the ladder on the 

left and enter the door, a suit of HarmoniumArmor awaits you there. Now 

enter the door on the right to claim Flame Thrower. Finally, go through the

upper door and you'll be in yet another fork. Go right to get a GrainCannon,

then go left to proceed. ANOTHER SET OF CROSSROADS!!! Head up and enter the

door on the left to get a HyperBlaster, then go down the ladder to the 

right. You'll see a computer and what would appear to be an inactive robot; 

just ignore them for now, but remember where they are. Go back and climb 

down the ladder and enter the door at the bottom. Go up to grab an 

ExcelShield, and then climb the stairs. Go down and enter the door for the 

last treasure, a HEAT Bazooka. (Finally!) Go up and touch the computer, 

T260G will say that there is a virus inside and you must go in the computer 

to destroy it. When ready, you'll be sent inside of the computer. 

Now it would appear that you are in sort of a strange town...it's all fake,

and there are lots of bugs here and there. You'll notice that some of the

ground is nothing but wire frame. Defeat the viruses (the little bugs) to

make the ground solid. (When you defeat the viruses, you can absorb a skill 

called Virus, which allows a few skills to be used.) The houses act as warps 

of sorts. I can't remember exactly what I did here, so just look for the 

castle, defeat the viruses at the gate and enter it.  You'll be attacked by 

4 Viruses and the HQCore. T260G now has a new skill: Contact. Start by 

killing the 4 viruses and then use Contact on the core, the battle will end, 

all the viruses will vanish, and the town will completely reform. Go back

to the entrance and go around to the building that looks like a chapel. 

Now comes the fun part. This first puzzle is easy, just light up all the 

panels, the last one being the one next to the door. The next puzzle is sort

of like Lights-Out, just turn all the panels to green. When you get this one

finished, you'll move on to a similar, but tougher puzzle. When you finish

the 2 puzzles, enter the door. You'll get some frightening info about the 

true purpose of the RB3...it is an evil AI device cabable of destroying all

the regions!!! After talking, you're beamed out of the computer. Now leave

HQ the same way you came in, but be sure to creturn to the place with the 

inactive mec and the computer. Touch the computer and T260G will repair the

body lying on the ground. You'll then be given the option of changing 

bodies, DO IT!!! That is the body of the Omega Model, the strongest type of

mec!!! Now just leave the base as normal, as you're going, T260G and Gen 

will discuss the RB3. Talk to the guy at the entrance and he will transport 

you out. T260G's mission is now clear...DESTROY THE RB3!!!!!



---Doomsday Machine---

Treasures: None



Once again, talk to the man at the Manhattan port and this time, Leonard 

will ask to be sent to the RB3 base. This is the final mission, so I'd be 

prepared if I were you. When ready, go back to the Manhattan port and agree.

Once inside, exit the computer room and cross the long narrow bridge. You'll

be in a maze-like room with many beams indicating doorways. You can pass 

through the beams, so do't worry. In the first room, head to the upper right

room and hit the switch inside. Now go back and go in the lower door. Now

you'll be in a similar green beam maze room. This time, go to the lower left

door and hit the switch; you'll hear a loud rumbling, this was a forcefield

being shut off. Now head through the far right door and pass through the big

empty room here. When you reach a room with a bunch of ladders and mecs, 

run to the right until you see a ladder - climb it and go right onto the

elevator platform. Hit the switch at the top and it will move a platform 

allowing you to get to the next switch. Climb back down and head right. 

Almost at the end of the room, climb the next ladder and run across the 

bridge to hit the next switch. Now go back to the first ladder and climb it,

but instead of going up the elevetor, go left and hit the last switch, which

will open the doorway leading out. Before leaving, you can opt to go right

at the very end of the passageway and hit another switch...but it doesn't 

seem to do anything. (If anyone knows what this is for, please tell me.)

You'll now be in a long metallic corridor filled with enemy mecs. Fight

them all. (Some of them can be tough.) I believe there are 8 battles total,

and after beating them all, a mini-boss, the Mec God, will come down and

attack.



:::Defeating the Mec God:::



He's a lot easier than he looks. If you have good skills like Pop-Knight or

Shock Soldier, use them. Otherwise, have your mecs use LogicBomb to screw 

with Mec God's status. Your human characters should use lesser moves to

conserve WP and JP. If Mec God uses MagneticStorm, you're in trouble, 

especially if you're using all mecs, as MagneticStorm does 400-500 damage to

all members and does even MORE to mecs!!! The Mec God has roughly 50,000 HP,

but he's not much of a problem. When he's beaten, absorb him to get Tiger

Program.



After beating Mec God, you'll be transported to a back room. Go through the 

door and examine the computer. You'll now have to enter the RB3's core and

defeat it from inside.



---RB3---

Treasures: None



This area is just plain WEIRD!!! Although you're inside a computer, it looks

like you're in a cave. Both the left and right passageways seem to lead to

dead ends. The trick here is to keep fighting enemies until the paths open

up. After beating enough monsters, go to either of the dead ends to see that

they've opened up. Head up and you'll be in a jungle. Do the same thing here

as you did in the cave. Once enough monsters have been beaten, you'll be 

able to enter the desert. Enter this new area and, once again, keep 

fighting. After fighting about 10 battles here, use a SanctuaryStone to heal

up. Keep fighting and eventually, you'll be warped to an area with a tree.

T260G will ask if you're ready - say yes. You'll now have to fight the evil

RB3's core, the all-powerful GenocideHeart!!!



:::Defeating GenocideHeart:::



Now it's time to unleash EVERYTHING you have on this guy, HE IS HARD!!!!

GenocideHeart will open the battle by using an attack called Carnage, which

(although it looks cool) does 300-400 damage to EVERYONE, and it also has 

the nasty side effect of instantly killing humans!!! Stop the death by

equipping BloodChalices (bought in Manhattan) and PlutoArmor (won from 

Dullahans). Even with the death blockers, Carnage will still mess your team

up. Fortunatly, every of often, the GenocideHeart warps the battle to

different locations. The snowy mountain is probably the place you want him

to transport you the most, as you take the least amount of damage there, and

it gives you a good oppertunity to heal up. There are around 4 or 5 other 

areas that the GenocideHeart will transport you to as well, each with it's 

own dangers, but he will always bring you back to the room with the monitors

first. Where he uses Carnage again, and then warps to another landscape. 

You'll notice that every time you get warped back, some of the monitors are 

showing only static, this is sort of an indicator of how much HP he has 

left; the more screens still active, the more HP he has left. There's realy 

no way of knowing how much HP he has (I'm guessing around 80,000). Your mecs 

should use Pop-Knight or Shock Soldier and if the team is in good enough 

condition, have T260G use V-Max followed by CosmicRave. If you have DSC, by 

all means USE IT!!!! Other moves you should use are ones like RosarioImpale,

LifeSprinkler, etc. This is probably the hardest boss in the game, so good 

luck.



T260G's mission is now over, so he returns to his friends, Rose and Thyme.



----End----

%%%%%Emelia%%%%%%%%%%%%



---Start---

(At the very beginning, you have the option of re-naming Emelia.) 



Emelia was once a very successful super-model, but she left this career, as 

it seemed to offer her nothing in life... Just when she thought nothing 

could make her happy, she met Ren. Emelia quickly fell in love with Ren, but

as with all lovers, they often argued. The day after a big argument, Emelia

returns to Ren's house and to her surprise, the door is unlocked... After 

closer investigation, Emelia dicovers, to her horror, that Ren has been 

murdered!!! Although she saw the real criminal, Emelia is charged with his 

murder and thrown in the prison at Despair. Emelia knows she is innocent, 

and intends to prove that it was not she who killed Ren, but rather an oddly

dressed man calling himself "The Joker"!! At lunch, Emelia meets Annie, who

introduces herself and they talk for a while. The warden shows up and issues 

a challenge. He will grant a pardon to anyone who is brave enough to find 

the Freedom Rune that is hidden somewhere in the prison facility. Emelia 

knows that this is the ONLY way she can escape and catch the Ren's REAL 

murderer. The next day, Annie and another woman, Liza, show up and attempt 

to help Emelia find the Rune. And now, the journey begins...



---Despair---

Treasures: LightBazooka, ShellShield, AGUNI-CP1, RuneStone



After dropping down through the hole, you'll be in a room with a network of

pipes. Climb around until you reach a solid platform with a hole leading to

a locker room. Jump down the hole and Liza will pull you over and hide in

a locker to avoid being spotted by a guard. After the guard leaves, examine

all the lockers until you come across the one containing a LightBazooka. Be

SURE to avoid the guards, as if you touch one, you'll get automatic "GAME

OVER". Exit through the door on the left, and enter the elevator door 

directly to the left of the door you came from. You'll pop out in a prison 

room with an opened manhole in the upper left corner. Exit through the 

lower door and follow the path to the upper door. Enter it and get on the

big round platform; it will rise up. When it stops, take the treasure chest

to get a ShellShield. Now exit through the left door. Keep following the 

path until you come beack to the room with the lockers. Exit the locker room

through the door on the left and enter the little elevator on the wall 

again. You'll be back in the room with the manhole in the corner of the 

room. Enter the manhole, go left, and climb the ladder. Once outside, go 

left again, and climb down the steps. You'll be in the laser maze. It's not

too hard to get through it (as Emelia has an InfraScope), but DON'T touch a 

beam or you'll fight an unbeatable enemy!! (Well, it's a Hermes, and you're

too weak to defeat such a strong mec yet.) In the next area, beat the 2 

boars and examine the green door on the right. It leads to the room with the

Rune, but it appears to be locked. Go up the ladder and enter the hole at 

the top. Examine the barred door and you'll be attacked by a miniature 

version of the Nidheg. He's not very tough, but he has a lot of HP. (Note, 

if Emelia doesn't have a weapon equipped before this fight, Annie will give 

her an AGUNI-CP1). After beating Nidheg, The door will be opened and you can

now proceed to collect the Freedom Rune...SUCCESS!!! Emelia is now free!!



Although she is free, Emelia has nothing to live for now that Ren is gone...

she returns to Ren's house for one last look at it, but just as she is about

to leave, Ren's REAL killer, the Joker, attacks Emelia!! Fortunatly, Roufas

shows up and protects Emelia. Emelia thanks Roufas, who then brings her to

the restaurant at Koorong. In the back room, Emelia will meet up with Liza

and Annie once again, and they reveal that they, along with Roufas and a few

others, are part of a group called "Gradius", an anti-Trinity orginazation.

(EVERY good RPG needs some kind of small resistance force VS. big 

corperation type of deal ^_^) Like Emelia, Gradius is also after the Joker, 

but for a different reason: It seems Joker is after a new Trinity power

source called "Cube", and he obviously wants to use it for some evil scheme. 

Gradius is trying to stop Joker from getting Cube, while trying to stop the

activities of Trinity at the same time. When you regain control of Emelia,

go into the room on the upper right and talk to Roufas. He'll ask you if you

want to join Gradius. Say yes. Roufas will tell you that it's not that easy

and that you have to go through training first......



---Training---

Treasures: 200 Credits, <Campaign Fund>



Actually, it's really not so bad. There are only 2 tests. The first one is

simple target practice, just shoot the target 6 times. Your next training

mission is also fairly simple. You are in the sewer in the lower alley of

Koorong. Head all the way right and up to collect a bag with 200 credits,

the go back and climb the ladder. Go up the stairs and head back to the 

Gradius base. Now that your training is done, Roufas says that you have some

free time until the next mission and suggests that since you have the 

Freedom Rune, you should go and find the other three runes. Talk to Roufas

once more to get a paycheck. You should talk to Roufas after every mission, 

like Red's Chapter, Emelia gets payed for her work. Go in the room on the 

left and talk to Liza, she will offer to join you. Now go outside and talk

to Annie, she will also join you.



---Team Members and Optional Side Quests---



Since Emelia already has the Freedom Rune from Despair, it makes sense to go 

on the Rune quest.  In fact, I recommend getting the gift before you 

continue with her main quest.  (See Blue's walkthrough for how to get the 

gift). Anyway, here are the team members that Emelia can pick up:



===Before Trinity===

Cotton: Bio Lab in Shrike

Lute: In Scrap, he's at the Pub

Thunder: In Yorkland next to the windmill

Rouge: In the Luminous Airport

Mei-ling: Scrap Pub

Riki: Scrap Pub

Annie: In Koorong outside the Restaurant, just talk to her

Liza: Inside the Gradius base

Fuse: IRPO, Need to be collecting Arcane Cards

Roufas: Inside Mu's Tomb, no restrictions

Gen: Scrap Pub, need to be collecting Arcane Tarot Cards

Mesarthim: The basement of Lord Manor, need Asellus or TimeLord on your team 

Fei-on: In Tanzer, Need to be Collecting Runes 

Slime: Tanzer, Joins after getting the Vitality Rune

Silence: Omble (See Blue's Walkthrough)

Sei: (See Riki's Chapter)

Suzaku: Mosperiburg Mountain (See Team Member List)

TimeLord: (See Team Member List)

Kylin: (See Team Member List)



===Inside Trinity Base===

Asellus: On the first visit to Trinity base, Talk to her outside the harem

White Rose: She's with Asellus, they both join after defeating the monster

Zozma: Also in Trinity Base (See Team Member List)



Emelia can't get T260G on her team because "she isn't good with machines",

and thus, she can't get EngineerCar either. Emelia *can* get Gen and Fuse on

her team, but she won't be allowed to go on the arcane quest until she finds

all the runes first.



------



<<<WARNING: The following part of the walkthrough was written by Fritz "The

Dullard" Fraundorf, A.K.A. ErgGibbon. If you have any comments or questions 

about this section, ask him...not me. Just a friendly warning. READ AT YOUR 

OWN RISK!! (And if the Dullard himself is reading this...I'm just teasing 

you!!)>>> 



---Shingrow Palace---

Treasures: SanctuaryStone, CeramicSword



Talk to Roufas in the room on the right side of Gradius HQ (in the back of 

the restaurant).  He'll assign Emelia to her first mission, in Shingrow.  At 

Shingrow, Emelia will change into her costume.  Get in line and talk to the 

guy at the counter.  Emelia will enter as Pink Tiger, then you'll fight some 

battles.  It doesn't matter whether you win or lose (in fact, you probably 

can't win), so just try to learn some new attacks (despite this being a 

martial arts tournament, you can use swords and guns).  After the battles, 

Emelia will spot Joker and Annie, Liza, and Roufas will join you.  Go up to 

the throne room and talk to one of the people to get healed, then go back 

down a level and open the treasure chest (the big red thing) in the upper-

right room for a SanctuaryStone.  Go into the room in the lower-right and 

you'll see two guys in yellow running around. Avoid them or just kill them, 

then search the red pot-like thing to open a staircase.  Descend and search 

the left side of the pit to trigger another switch that closes the pit.  

Grab the CeramicSword, then go right and keep going until you get to a dead 

end. Talk to the goblin, defeat it (it should be easy), and the mission will 

end.



---Baccarat---

Treasures: PurpleEye



Back in Koorong, take care of anything you want to between missions and then

go talk to Roufas again.  He'll send Emelia, Annie, and Liza to Baccarat.  

Talk to the people until you get the message that the Joker is on the next 

floor.  Go up there and keep talking until you hear that he took the 

elevator.  Go to the elevator and you'll be taken down to the parking 

garage.  Start to climb down the ladder and Annie and Liza will rejoin.  In 

the caves, head down through the first archway, then head down and left and 

exit the room through the lower-left door.  In the next room, take a left 

through the hard-to-see door (it has some orange rubble outside) into a 

small room.  Go north and you'll reach the gnomes' cave.  Joker will be 

here, and he will run off (again).



What you next determines which of two endings you will get at the end of the 

quest.  To get the good ending, just leave the caves. To get the bad ending, 

leave the gnome room, head south through the next room, and you'll be in a 

large room.  Go right, pass under the archway, and go through the door.  

You'll see some footprints.  Follow them to a cave where you fight a large 

dinosaur-like monster. 



:::Defeating Gargantu:::



This guy shouldn't be tough.  If you have moves like Smash, Suplex, 

BearCrush, etc. (and you should by now if you did the Rune quest), you 

shouldn't have any trouble beating him.  His attack is fairly strong, but he 

has a weak defense. Of course, you shouldn't be fighting this guy anyway...



After defeating Gargantu, you'll receive the PurpleEye that Emelia gave to 

Ren. Equip it, then retrace your steps and leave the caves.



Regardless of whether you defeating the Gargantu or not, the mission will 

end and you'll return to Koorong.



---Trinity Base - 1st trip---

Treasures: EMES Tag, SanctuaryStone



If you haven't completed the Rune quest yet, do so before continuing on.  

You may also want to drop by Sei's Tomb in Shrike and pick up the Magatama, 

Mizukagami, and Murakumo (see Riki's walkthrough).  Before you go into 

Roufas's room again, equip Emelia with all your best equipment, especially 

your best shield.



After some scenes, Emelia will be sent to Trinity Base.  After meeting 

Yaruto, Joker will show up and the lights go out.  When they come back on, 

Yaruto and Joker are gone.  Leave the room and you'll see Asellus and White 

Rose standing on a balcony.  Do a Quicksave, then talk to them.  You'll

have to fight a tough battle against some random enemies.  If you win it,

Asellus and White Rose will join you, but it's unlikely that you can win.

If you can't, just use your Quicksave and go on with the game -- you don't

really need them.



If you did get Asellus and Rose, you can also get Akuma... er, Zozma as 

well. Go left and down one flight of stairs. Walk right and enter the

second room you come to. A soldier will be inside, but monsters will appear 

and he'll run off. Defeat the monsters and, assuming you have Asellus and 

White Rose on your team, the soldier will reveal himself as Zozma and join 

you.



(Warning: If you have more than 12 members, Asellus, White Rose, and

Zozma will take over them upon leaving the base.  So if you have 13 or

more people, and want to keep all of them, don't get the Mystics)



Regardless of whether you got the Mystic gang, descend to the bottom

level. Enter the elevator (the one on the left; it's the only one that

works) and you'll be taken up to the top of the base.  Go right one

screen and you'll have to fight a mec.  Use your strongest attacks to

defeat it.  After the battle, continue right and you'll be in the east

wing of the base.  Go down two flights of stairs and head left one

screen.  Take the door in the upper left and you should be in a room with

a chest and a treasure pile. Examine the treasure pile to fight a boss.



:::Defeating the LivingArmor:::



The LivingArmor will summon a LivingLance and LivingAxe; don't bother 

attacking these as more will just appear if you kill them. Instead, just 

attack the LivingArmor.  If you have a good shield, you can probably block 

most of the attacks.  This LivingArmor has a lot more HP than a generic one, 

but it shouldn't be too tough of a battle.



After defeating the LivingArmor, take the EMES Tag (a strong accessory) and 

the SanctuaryStone.  Then leave the room and head down the small set of 

stairs.  Go through the door on the back wall (NOT the one to the right; it 

leads to an empty lounge) and go left one screen.  Emelia will say "Dammit!" 

and the mission will inexplicably end.



---Trinity Base - 2nd trip---

Treasures: <Campaign Fund>, AngelBroach



Once again, you're back in Koorong.  Talk to Roufas and he'll give you a 

2000 credit campaign fund.  Now go into the left room and talk to the woman 

to rest (you can rest anywhere; it doesn't matter).  Go back to Roufas and 

he'll send you back to Trinity Base on another mission, disguised as a 

commando.

 

Head down and left and you'll be back inside the base, in a familiar 

location.  From here, go back to the room where the last mission ended (go 

down all the stairs, take the door in the background, and go left).  Call 

this big room "Point Dullard".  Go up the stairs and you'll be on the west 

wing of the base, at the previously-broken elevator.  Go one screen left and 

enter the elevator.  Head right and enter the office that was guarded the 

mec on the last visit.  You'll meet the new commander, Mondo (as seen in 

Lute's scenario).  After some dialogue, he gives Emelia the AngelBroach.  An 

accident occurs in the Cube plant and the base is evacuated.  Roufas and co. 

will show up.  Talk to each of them and they'll join up, then go back to 

Point Dullard.  Go to the lower-left corner of the room and walk down the 

small silver ramp.  You'll end up going back to Koorong and the mission will 

end.  (Isn't kind of cheap that they used the same picture of Emelia twice 

in a row?  What about Roufas or Liza?)



---Yorkland Mountain---

Treasures: <Campaign Fund>



Back in Koorong, talk to Roufas for a 3000 credit campaign fund. You may 

want to use the cash to go upgrade your equipment; you can buy really good 

stuff (WarLordArmor and ZeroSwords -- what's with the lack of spacing?) in 

Nelson.  The final battle is ahead, and it's really tough.



When you're ready, go talk to Roufas and, uh, tell him you're ready.  You'll 

then go a mountain in Yorkland.  This place is a no-brainer; just head right 

and admire the great scenery until you get to a waterfall and bridge with 

what appears to be a robot doing step aerobics.  Kill it; then keep going 

right to another waterfall.  Either walk behind it or jump along the rocks 

in front of it (it doesn't matter) and go right some more until you come to 

a scene outside the chapel.  Use a SanctuaryStone to restore your HP.  Equip 

any PurpleEyes that you have. Then enter the chapel to face Diva.



:::Defeating Diva:::



Diva is TOUGH!  She gets about four or five turns ever round and hits really 

hard.  Diva has two different forms -- the one she starts in, and the spear 

form.  In the first form, she will either use a bunch of lightning attacks, 

or a bunch of gazes, or the cool-looking (but deadly) Retribution spell (if 

she uses Retribution, that's all she'll do that round).  In the other form, 

she uses a variety of elemental attacks -- this form is a little bit safer,

as many of her attacks can be blocked with shields or Deflect. Defense is 

the key to this battle; if you have lots of shields (Liza had four shields 

equipped in my case ^_^) and defensive abilities, you'll be able to outlast 

her and her 50,000 (or so) HP.  Oh, and don't give up -- I managed to win 

with just Liza (who had no WP) and Kylin alive.



After you defeat Diva, you'll receive one of two endings based on whether or

not you got the PurpleEye in Baccarat (the good ending if you didn't; the 

bad ending if you did).  I hope you got the good one...



----End----



[We now return you to your regularly-scheduled FAQ editor]



%%%%%Lute%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%



---Start---



Lute's short journey begins at Yorkland, where he lives. Lute leaves 

home to search for adventure. After a short scene, you get to rename him 

anything you want. 



---Yorkland---

Treasures: None



Start this "long" journey by going to the port and talking to the two 

guys here. They refuse to let you board the ship out of town. But then a 

blue haired man (the captain) steps out and allows you to board his 

ship.



---Manhattan---

Treasures: None



This is where the ship drops you off. The only thing to do here is talk 

to Fuse and Leonard in the burger shop at the mall. Fuse will tell you 

that the blue haired captain who brought you here is Mondo, an important 

man for the evil Trinity. Once you've done that, leave and the rest is 

up to you.



---Lute's Quest is 90% Optional---



I strongly suggest going on both the Rune and Arcane quests, as well as 

doing every other optional quest there is. Lute only has one real 

mission, but if you don't build up first, you're in BIIIIIG Trouble!!!



These Team members can be recruited in Lute's Chapter:

Cotton: Bio Lab in Shrike

Thunder: In Yorkland next to the windmill

Rouge: In the Luminous Airport

Mei-ling: Scrap Pub

Riki: Scrap Pub

T260G: Scrap Pub

EngineerCar: Nakajima Robotics, need a mec on your team.

Annie: In Koorong outside the Restaurant, must have 3 runes first

Fuse: IRPO, Need to be collecting Arcane Cards

Roufas: Inside Mu's Tomb, need to be collecting Runes

Gen: Scrap Pub, need to be collecting Arcane Tarot Cards

Emelia: Baccarat, Need to be collecting Arcane Cards

Capt. Hamilton: Owmi Restaurant*

Mesarthim: The basement of Lord Manor, need TimeLord on your team 

Fei-on: In Tanzer, Need to be Collecting Runes 

Slime: Tanzer, Joins after getting the Vitality Rune

Silence: Omble (See Blue's Walkthrough)

Sei: (See Riki's Chapter)

Suzaku: Mosperiburg Mountain (See Team Member List)

TimeLord: (See Team Member List)

Kylin: (See Team Member List)



*If you want Hamilton on your team before the first and last mission, 

read below.



---Back to the Game---



Talk to Hamilton (the blond woman wearing green sailor's clothes who is 

sitting next to the door) in the Owmi restaurant. After talking for a 

while, she will leave and board the ship to Nelson. Go to the port and 

travel to Nelson now, you'll be abord the Victoria, Hamilton's ship. 

Talk to her and she will explain how Mondo killed your (Lute's) father. 

Hamilton says she's part of the resistance force to overthrow Trinity 

and asks if you'll help her - say you're not ready yet!! After talking, 

Hamilton will join your party. Now go talk to the woman at the wheel of 

the ship, she will drop you off at the town of your choice and Hamilton 

will still be on your team. Build up and do whatever you need to. This 

is it, the last mission (yes, it's also the first).



When you're ready, board the ship to Nelson again and talk to Hamilton. 

Tell her "Yes" and after a cool scene, you'll be in Mondo Base.



---Mondo Base---

Treasures: None (None of Lute's quests have any treasures... ^_^)



Once in Mondo's Base, head up and left, and enter the door. Go to the 

big platform here and flip the little green switch on the far upper 

right corner of the platform; it will lower you to another floor. Leave 

and go through the door. In this room, climb up the big staircase and 

run along the catwalk at the top of the steps; follow it until you come 

to a metal box, press O to take it (it's actually a switch). Go back to 

the platform and hit the green switch again, you'll be once again 

lowered. Do the same thing in this room as you did before: find the 

little metal box-switch, it's up the staircase in this room too. After 

getting the box, return (once again) to the platform and hit the green 

switch ANOTHER TIME!! You'll be lowered to the final area. Fight the 

giant here if you want to (and think you can handle it). You don't get 

anything, but it's fun anyway. Go in the upper door and in the next 

room, go in the only open passageway...now you'll see another cool 

scene. Mondo will get in a big robot, the Spriggan, and attack you. This 

is the final battle, folks...



:::Defeating the Spriggan:::



First of all, you might want to have everyone equipped with JetBoots to 

avoid Spriggan's quake attack. If you're even mildly built up, you really 

shouldn't have much trouble here. After taking about 10,000 HP off him, 

he will explode and a new, trimmed down Spriggan will show up. Each one 

is harder than the last one (there are 5 of them total). But they will 

all die after inflicting about 10,000 damage. The forth and fifth form have

an EXTREMELY dangerous attack called BusterLauncher, which if used, will do

over 1,000 damage to the one it hits, thus killing him or her instantly!!

Also, Spriggan will use either IronPole or EnemyFire every four or five 

rounds of fight, both of which hit your entire team, but for no more than 

50-100 damage each, so it's not so bad. When you've beaten all five forms,  

you've beaten Lute's Chapter!!! YAY!!



Now enjoy the short but satisfying ending that you've worked so "hard" 

for!!!



----End----



%%%%%Riki%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%



Riki's quest begins on his home world, Margmel. This once beautiful 

world is dying, and only the power of a magical ring is keeping it alive 

at all... Riki is from a dying race of creatures, he is a Lummox, and 

Margmel's only hope...



---The Guardian Ring - Margmel---

Treasures: RING/Guardian



After the opening scene, Riki will be in the village at Margmel. If 

you'd like, talk to the two little pink lummoxes next to the hill, they 

are the foxy sisters; If you'd like, you can fight them. You don't get any

itmes or anything from them, but Riki might be able to absorb ElfShot from

one of them, a skill which will be useful in this early stage of the game.

Now go in the only open shell-building. (Is this the city of the ancients 

from FF7? It sure looks like it ^_^.) Inside, talk to the elder, he will 

show you the ring which protects Margmel. Riki will notice an inscription on

the ring that reads: "Find my brothers and fulfill our wish...". When the 

elder realizes that there are other rings, he sends Riki to Earth to find 

the rest of them. Before going though, he changes Riki into a human-like 

form and gives him the Guardian Ring. The elder opens a warp and transports 

Riki to Scrap.



---The Merchant Ring - Caballero Factory---

Treasures: 400 Credits x2, KukriBlade, SteelAmulet, PowerCure, 

RING/Merchant



In Scrap, head immediatly to the pub and talk to Mei-ling. Riki will 

tell her about the rings and his quest to save his homeland. Mei-ling 

says that she's also looking for rings and then offers to join you, and 

Riki gladly accepts. (Mei-ling will play a big part in this quest.) Talk 

to T260G and Lute, they will also offer to join you. Talk to Gen, who 

tells you to "beat it!!". After you leave the pub, Gen will walk up and 

forcefully join your team. Mei-ling then tells you that Caballero has a 

ring. Upon leaving, you'll automatically be in Caballero's office. The 

greedy factory owner refuses to give, sell, or even discuss the ring 

unless Mei-ling will go with him. Mei-ling agrees and Caballero and his 

flunkies head to the northern factory with the captive Mei-ling. Now 

you'll be back at the pub. Gen has devised a plan to save your friend. 

He and T260G distract the guards in front of the factory so Riki and 

Lute can sneak in the back and rescue Mei-ling. After a short scene, 

you'll be in the room where Caballero is holding Mei-ling hostage. It 

seems she didn't need any help at all as she's smacking him around. 

After a minute, Caballero will run out. Talk to Mei-ling and she will 

rejoin. Before leaving the room, take the bag for 400 Credits. You'll be 

outside of the factory. Gen and T260G, having taken care of the guards, 

will also rejoin you (not that they ever left though...). Before going 

in, go in the 3 buildings just outside of the factory. The building on 

the right is empty, but the buildings on the left have treasures (400 

Credits and a KukriBlade respectivly). A good idea would be to go to the 

junk shop and pick up a few items. (See the secrets section for a little 

trick here.) Also note that you can't leave town yet as the lady at the 

port is (like on T260G's quest) charging 10,000 credits to board the 

ship!!! When ready, go in the factory. Do this area the same way you did 

in T260G's quest: flip the little orange switches to get rid of the 

goons so you can fight without being hit with EnemyFire during battle. 

The glowing boxes contain treasures (PowerCure, SteelAmulet) so don't 

miss them. When you reach the end, Caballero will run away and sic a 

VulcanII and 3 D-Tractors on you. This battle is no problem, just use 

your attacks (of which you'll have few). If you picked up a LightBazooka 

in the Junk Shop, use it, it'll be very helpful. When beaten, the 

enemies may drop a Bumper. Mei-ling finally gets Caballero to sell her 

the Merchant Ring for 10,000 (er 100) credits.



Now leave town, the lady is only charging 10 credits to leave. 



---Koorong---

Treasures: Whatever you decide to take now.



Once in Koorong, Mei-ling will tell Riki where the remaining rings are 

located:



"A guy on a ship had one, but the ship was swallowed by Tanzer"

"One of Shrike's ancient kings had one"

"A billionaire in Yorkland has one"

"There is one for sale in Manhattan, but it's a little expensive"

"There is a man in Despair serving a million year sentence, he has one"

"There is a mystic called Ring Lord in Mosperiberg.



Talk to Mei-ling and choose one - not that is matters, because as soon 

as you try to leave town on the ship, Tanzer swallows it. Thus, you have 

to go after the ring in Tanzer first.



---The Thief Ring - Tanzer---

Treasures: Magi-Water, MissilePod, SanctuaryStone, RING/Thief



Once inside Tanzer, you'll get attacked by a couple of thugs -- it's not 

too tough to beat them, they're just normal enemies. After which the 

crime boss, Nomad appears. (You've seen her in Red and Blue's chapters 

before). After some talk, Fei-on shows up and offers to take you to a 

town. Mei-ling, who's obviously Fei-on's wife, becomes furious at Fei-on 

for 'lying to her'. Jeez!! Fei-on said he was going to Kyo for training, 

it's not HIS fault that Tanzer swallowed the ship he was going there 

on...oh well...Mei-ling is a picky one!! Anyway, Mei-ling runs off and 

Riki follows her. After this scene, Mei-ling rejoins. 

Now head south until you reach Fei-on's village. Inside the village, 

rest at the inn if the need be, then talk to Fei-on in one of the 

...er...houses. He will tell you that Nomad is the one who owns the ring 

you seek. He then will offer to take you there and asks to join you, but 

Mei-ling refuses to let him join the party (the $%#&%), but he will 

still lead the way. Now leave town. Fei-on will call you on the right 

direction, so just keep following him. When Fei-on stops next to what 

would appear to be a door, enter it. Then go down into the next door 

below. Next, proceed up into the other door. Keep going through the 

doors (always the upper ones) until Fei-on calls you again. Walk down 

and jump into the hole next to him. You'll be in a new part of Tanzer. 

Follow the path until you come to a wooden room. There you'll meet Nomad 

again. She speaks briefly to Riki, who makes a comment that Nomad 

doesn't like. Nomad, in her anger, sends six of her troops after Riki and 

his team. In the confusion of the following battles, Nomad runs off. 

Defeat the troops and go around and climb the stairs and continue up to 

the door. This area is made up of a long hall filled with monsters, and 

4 doors. The door on the right wall leads to a room where you can pick 

up a treasure (Magi-Water). The door directly above the entrance 

contains a MissilePod. Ignore the upper left room, besides a few 

monsters, it's empty. After you've gotten the treasures, go in the lower 

left door. Nomad will show up, send more troops after you, then run 

away. You have to fight Platyhooks and a Razorback. The Razorback isn't 

very strong, so defeat it first before using your strongest attacks on 

Platyhooks. After you win, Fei-on will appear and join you regardless of 

what Mei-ling says. Now examine the drawers to get a SanctuaryStone. Go 

down the manhole and follow the path down until you reach Nomad, who is 

now being swallowed by Tanzer!! Save her, she has the ring!!!



:::Defeating Tanzer:::



Tanzer is a tough opponent, his AcidBreath does about 100 damage, which 

is more than you can spare now. To make matters worse, there are 3 other 

enemies here that also attack you, and you can't even target them!! I 

hope you added Fei-on to your team, because his CrushBeat attack does 

almost 800 damage!! If Tanzer uses Illstorm to poison you, just ignore 

it. Give Gen the backpack and have him use Cures on the party as needed. 

Tanzer is hard, so good luck. He seems to have about 8,000 HP and when 

you beat him, you'll get the Thief Ring. Congratulations, you've gotten 

your third ring!!



Tanzer is starting to die now, so if you don't all get out quickly, you 

will too!!! After gathering all the villagers together, Fei-on runs back 

to see if there is anyone he missed. Wait a few minutes or try to enter 

the ship a couple of times. Eventually, Fei-on will show up and you'll 

escape!!



You can get the rest of the rings in any order, but I'll explain them 

this way.



---Gathering Team Members---



After beating Tanzer, you can freely use the ports again. I was wrong about 

Riki being unable to go on magic quests. Feel free to do them if you want. 

Here's the lowdown on Riki's potential team:



Cotton: Bio Lab in Shrike

Thunder: In Yorkland next to the windmill, need Lute on your team.

EngineerCar: Nakajima Robotics, need a mec on your team.

Annie: Choose to get the ring in Despair and tell the girl you trust her

Emelia: Baccarat, Need to be collecting Arcane Cards

Fuse: IRPO, Need to be collecting Arcane Cards

Dr. Nusakan: Joins you after visiting the sick girl in Yorkland

Mesarthim: The basement of Lord Manor, need Dr. N on your team 

Sei: (See Below)

Suzaku: Mosperiburg Mountain (See Team Member List)

Kylin: (See Team Member List)



Mei-ling, Gen, Lute and T260G automatically join you from the beginning 

and Fei-on automatically joins you in Tanzer.



When ready, you can go on any of the ring quests.



---The Fighter Ring - Sei's Tomb---

Treasures: Magatama, Murakumo, Mizukagami, RING/Fighter



Now would be a good time to enter Sei's Tomb in Shrike and get the ring 

therein. Talk to the kid who looks like a little Alkaiser...he's in the 

playground by the street where the inn is - he'll show you where Sei's 

Tomb is. From the entrance, head down then right. You'll be in a room 

with 3 alters, just ignore them and keep going until you come to a big 

wide open room with many doors and openings in it. Enter the southern 

most passageway. Once there, go in the upper room. Here, examine the 

wall at the back of the room that looks like it has a little '9' (or a 

Yin-Yang symbol) carved in the wall. You'll have to fight some enemies 

(just normal ones). When you win, you'll get the Magatama. Go back to 

the big room and you'll notice 3 glowing spots on the floor; these are 

holes. Jump in the hole in the upper left corner of the room and you'll 

drop onto a platform with a sword on it. Try to take the sword and 

you'll be attacked; defeat the attackers and you'll get the Murakumo. 

Once again, go back to the big room, and this time, go up to the area 

with the skeletons and examine the glowing spot on the wall. The bone 

heads will get up and attack you. When you beat them, you get the 

Mizukagami, a very useful shield. Now backtrack to the room with the 3 

glowing alters and put the items you just found on these alters. A door 

will open on the wall above. Inside, examine the casket and the Death 

Lord, Sei, will come out and mistake you for grave robbers (Tomb Raiders 

actually...^_^) and refuses to give you the ring. Riki explains how he 

needs the ring to save his home. Sei reconsiders and gives you the ring, 

also, before leaving, he joins you. 



Note: In other chapters, you can opt to do this as well, but you'll have 

to fight Sei in order to get him to cooperate with you. When you beat 

him, you can either ask him to give you something, in which he will give 

you his sword, the VERY powerful Kusanagi, or you can have him join your 

party. Of course, you could just opt to get the Murakumo, Magatama, and 

Mizukagami and just leave, they are all good items anyway. 



---The Hero Ring - Baccarat---

Treasures: RING/Hero



After collecting 4 rings, Mei-ling will tell you about a wealthy man 

from Scrap who is offering to sell them his ring. The man is staying at 

Baccarat, so thats exactly where you go next. 



It's pretty vague from here, so I'll say exactly what to do. Go down to 

the hotel section of Baccarat and enter "Room 2001". (If you took the 

stairs down, it's the first door you come to.) The man will tell you 

about why he wants to sell the ring and then goes to get it from the 

safe. But the ring is gone!!! A quick look reveals that a mouse is the 

culprit, but the little bugger runs off!! CATCH THAT MOUSE!!!!! 

Actually, it's pretty easy, just keep following it (this part is funny) 

until it jumps on the crystal chandelier. The elegant crystal then falls 

through the entire building until it finally crashes through to the 

parking lot. You'll see that the manhole is opened, go down there and 

keep chasing the mouse until it runs in a corner. When it's cought, 

you'll get the Hero Ring.



---The Healer Ring - Yorkland---

Treasures: 500 Credits x??, RING/Healer



Now go to Yorkland. If you've been here before, you may have heard about 

the billionaire having run away from town, and you may have seen an 

empty house where he once lived. Now this info finally comes into play. 

Go to the billionaire's house and you'll find out that his daughter is 

gravely ill, but no one knows what's wrong with her. The billionaire is 

offering a large reward for the person who saves the life of his 

daughter, so you might as well take a look. Upon entering the girl's 

bedroom, you'll learn that she is possessed by a demon called Mollasite. 

Mollasite, who obviously has no intentions of letting go of this girl, 

attacks your team. This battle is a no-brainer, just keep attacking 

until he runs away. Something must be done to defeat this demon, or the 

little girl will die!! The only thing keeping her alive is the ring that 

she owns. Mei-ling will inform you of a doctor in Koorong who's good 

with this sort of thing; you'll automatically be sent to Koorong. Go 

down to the backstreet in the lower section of town (the one with the 3 

birds flying around) and enter the door at the very back of this small 

alley. Once inside, talk to the man who's sitting there. The door will 

open and you'll be in the back room with Dr. Nusakan. Mei-ling explains 

the situation and Dr. N agrees to help. Return to Yorkland and talk to 

the billionaire; you'll go back up to his daughters room and fight 

Mollasite again. Dr. N explains what to do in order to defeat this 

strange appirition.



:::Defeating Mollasite:::



As Dr. Nusakan says, if you inflict too much damage too quickly, 

Mollasite will run away. So either use weak attacks (or just defend) 

until he destroys the bed. After that, just attack him in full force - 

he's VERY easy.



After beating that spectral pest, the billionaire's daughter is healed. 

As a way of thanks, she gives you the Healer Ring. Also for an added 

bonus, talk to her father a couple of times; each time you talk to him, 

he'll give you 500 Credits, you can do this anywhere from 1-3 times each 

time you visit him (when he says "please no more", just leave and come 

back, he'll give you more). Repeat this (until he runs away) to make a 

fortune!!!



---The Schemer Ring - Lord Manor---

Treasures: MaxCure x3, RubberSuit, GhostCannon, KrisKnife, 

SanctuaryStone, Magi-Water, RottenMeat, JetBoots, LeatherBoots, 

PearlHeart, JackalSword, ArmorGlove, ShellBracer, SeaStone, RubberShoes,

RING/Schemer



First, go to the shopping mall at Manhattan and attempt to buy the ring 

that's for sale there. The lady will tell you that the lord in Owmi bought

it. So, let's go talk to this guy. Head for Owmi and enter Lord Manor, the 

lord will step out. (This is a different 'lord' from the one in Asellus's 

quest...) When you tell him how you're collecting rings and how you need 

his, he opens a trap door and dumps you down to his basement. Climb back up 

to the surface - this place is easy. There are tons of treasures lying 

around here and there, collect them all, and be sure not to miss the 

JackalSword in the big room on the pink platform behind the wall. When you 

reach the room with the squid, don't fight it yet, instead, go into the door

on the left side of the room and approach the pool of water. Mesarthim the 

mermaid will swim up and (assuming you have Dr. Nusakan on your team) will 

either offer to join you or give you something. If you choose to have her 

join you, she will. And if you choose to have her give you something, you'll

get the SeaStone, a +3 def. accessory that also protects against water 

attacks. Go back and fight the squid, he should be quite easy. Continue up 

until you're back in the house. Loot the attic and basement rooms for more 

treasure if you'd like (and there's no real reason not too either). Then go

up into the big bedroom and talk to the lord. He is quite surprised that you

beat the giant squid and pleads with you to spare him. When Riki agrees, 

lord turns into a mystic and flys off dropping the ring.



---The Hermit Ring - Despair---

Treasures: LightBazooka, ShellShield, RING/Hermit



To get into the prison, Despair, simply talk to Mei-ling in Koorong and tell

her you'd like to go after the ring there. Liza will walk up and 

(convienently) overhear you and suggest that you talk to Annie about 

sneaking in. If you accept, you'll be in Despair and Annie will have joined 

you (she'll also lead the way). If you decline, you'll be in Despair anyway,

but without Annie to guide you.



Once you arrive in Despair, just keep following Annie (if she's with you),

she'll lead you directly to the ring - this couldn't be easier. It's the 

same way you would come to get the Freedom Rune, except that instead of 

jumping down to the extreme lower door, jump down once, climb the ladder, 

and enter the green door that has a clock above it. (If you've been this 

way before, the door was always "locked up tight".) Once in the room, you'll

find the prisoner who has the million year prison sentence here -- the 

warden himself!! After a bit of talk, he gives you the ring. (Note: the 

other 2 treasures can be found in the same places as you may have found 

them in another chapter.)



---The Lord Ring - Mosperiburg---

Treasures: <Prize>, 400 Credits x2, VirgilKey x8, RING/Lord



Now...Mosperiburg...home of the Ring Lord himself...this is it... Relax, 

it's not as hard as it's made out to be. When you arrive at this strange 

castle, head up to the throne room and talk to the man there (as hard as 

it is to believe, that IS a man!!) He is Virgil, the Ring Lord. He says 

that it's been a while since he's had a challenger for the ring, but he 

says he won't give the ring to any wimps. So Virgil tells Riki that if he 

collects 8 keys around the mansion, he'll be willing to listen. Now go to 

the 8 doors around these halls of horror. (You may have seen doors 

that "wouldn't budge" earlier, they are all now open.) I can't remember 

exactly which obstacle occurs in which room, so I'll just name the 

challenges.



Note: If a door still "won't budge", it means you're missing a ring. You 

need all 8 of the other rings to open the 8 doors.



---Challenge 1 - The Game Show---



When you get to a room that's playing the casino music, be prepared. You 

have to play a game of Hi/Low; this is done by comparing the price of 

one item with the next. If you think the second item costs more that the 

first, choose "HI", If you think the first item costs more than the 

second, choose "LOW". If you get one wrong, you'll have to play a 

'penalty game', which is a battle (an easy battle), but your entire team 

is turned into Rockies (those little squirrel-mole thingies). Win this 

Hi/Low game 8 times (doesn't have to be in a row) and you'll get the 

first key (called a VirgilKey) and a bonus prize, which is the last item 

you bet on.



---Challenge 2 - Magma Slimes---



This room is a simple staircase decending to an alter. Climb down to the 

alter and some orange slimes will attack you, they are the dreaded Magma 

Slimes...



:::Defeating the Magma Slimes:::



These slimes only have one attack: MagmaTouch. This skill of theirs is 

DANGEROUS, however, because it drains LP. The only good thing is that 

MagmaTouch *CAN* be blocked with Deflect, Kasumi, or shields. If 

you keep losing this battle because Riki loses all his LP, a trick is to

use the Thief Ring, which makes your team invisible, then have Riki keep

defending. There are 30 of these slimes, each fought in a group of 5. Use

attacks like GaleSlash or Haze-to-Wheel, use them to eliminate all of them

at once. Do this a few times and you'll have this battle wrapped up... then

you'll get the next key.



---Challenge 3 - The Mystic Spikes---



This room is filled with spikes and the only way to get through it 

safely is to follow the mystic girl around the room. If you mess up, 

you'll have to fight a battle. The girl will occationally walk onto one 

of the two platforms that hold bags containing 400 credits each. When 

you finally make it to the little red gleam of light, press O and you'll 

get the key and be warped out of this room.



---Challenge 4 - Bugs 'n' switches---



There are 4 enemies running around this room, and 4 switches. Pressing 

any of the switches causes a bug to pop out and roll across the screen 

and fall off the other side; if these bugs hit a monster, they will push it

off the screen, thus getting rid of it. However, if you miss (or just don't

feel like doing it) you can still get the key simply by defeating all 4 

monsters, they're just normal enemies.



---Challenge 5 - The "Tournament"---



This is some sort of winner-takes-all tournament, it's really easy, 

however. First you fight a battle with a MecDobby100 and 4 MecDobbys, 

then a battle with 4 Manticores. It's SOOO Easy!! After um...winning, 

you'll get another key.



---Challenge 6 - Pac-Man returns---



This is an old Pac-Man type of puzzle. Collect the money bags around the 

room while avoiding the slimes. When all the bags have been collected, 

grab the treasure chest that falls down to get the next key.



---Challenge 7 - Grave Mistake---



Now you're in a cemetary. Go touch all of the tombstones until one of 

them contains the key. If you touch any others, they'll release 

Dullahans...so watch out.



---Challenge 8 - More fun than a barrel of Monkeys---



This room has (I think) 8 barrels in it. Just keep opening all the 

barrels until you find the one with the key inside. All the others 

contain monsters. 



Now that you have all 8 keys, go back to the throne room and Virgil will 

now fight you.



:::Defeating Virgil:::



Now let me start by saying this: VIRGIL CAN NOT BE HARMED IN ANY WAY!!

If you paid attention to what Virgil says at the start of the battle 

("Show me your best combos") you should be able to figure this battle 

out rather easily. But since either people are playing the Japanese 

version, or just not paying attention to what's on the screen, many 

people miss this. Defeating Virgil is simple, just use combos on him, 

when you do, you'll score points. This is how it works:



Lv 2 Combo: 0 Points

Lv 3 Combo: 2 Points

Lv 4 Combo: 3 Points

Lv 5 Combo: 5 Points



Score 10 total points to win. The easiest way I've found to do this is 

just to choose your attacks at random, and try different attacks too. I 

thought this battle was fun, but some people think it's really hard...



After beating Virgil, you'll get the Lord Ring. 



---Margmel Revisited---

Treasures: None



Now that you have all of the rings, Riki returns to Margmel. Save if you 

want to, then go talk to the elder. The elder tells Riki to use the 

powers of the ring to revive Margmel. Riki takes the rings up to a hill 

and shouts "Margmel BE REBORN!!" (words he'll soon regret). You'll now 

see a scene of Margmel in it's former beauty. Go back to the town and 

save again. When you get back, Riki sees that all his people are 

dissappearing!! Mei-ling tells Riki that since he wished for Margmel to 

be reborn, that is exactly what is happening, Margmel is being reborn. 

And since none of Riki's clan were there when the land was first born, 

they're all fading away!!! Mei-ling has become obsessed with the rings 

power and uses the power of her 'black ring' to become a hideous demon 

and attacks Riki and his friends - she is the MasterRing!!!



:::Defeating MasterRing:::



MasterRing is HARD!!! She has an EXTREMELY dangerous attack called 

Oscillation, of which you've probably already had the pleasure of being 

killed by before. To make matters worse, she is accompanied by the 9 

ring monsters (4-5 at a time). I would advise you NOT to kill them all, 

as MasterRing will start to use an attack called 'Revolution9' to not 

only increase her defense, but it also counters HARD when you hit her!!! 

MasterRing and her monsters will also give alot of dangerous status 

ailments like Charm and Mess. Just avoid this whole mess by using the 

Hero Ring at the start of the battle (it prevents abnormal status). Just 

focus on MasterRing until she runs away and leaves you with 5 ring 

monsters, kill as many as possible and then the master will show up 

again. Just keep attacking her until she turns back into Mei-ling. 

MasterRing has about 40-50,000 HP. 



Now, sit back and enjoy the ending...I liked this one...



---End---



------------------------------------------------------------------------

 4. Other Stuff

------------------------------------------------------------------------



%%%%Optional areas%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%



---Bio Research Lab---

Treasures: DragonShield



The Bio Research Lab in Shrike is definatly the best place to build up! The

enemies are always strong, and some of them can leave some GREAT items 

behind. If your HP is high enough, you'll meet the following enemies that

sometimes yield some nice prizes (also listed):



CrystalTree - Drops various Harmonium items (Armor, Bangle, Earring)

Dullahan - DurahanShield (BEST Shield) and PlutoArmor (Def 35 Armor)

Chimera - BehemothRifle (Strong, but has a low hit rate)

Zyphon - WindShell (Raises Stats) or WonderBangle (Buyable, but expensive)

SnowFolk - SleetCoin (Stops Ice Attacks)

Darkfairy (Appears with Zyphon) - SilverMoon (You WANT this!!!)

Flamefolk (Also appears w/Zyphon) - PowerBelt (Raises strength a LOT!!)

BlackDragon (Appears with the Chimera) - DragonShield

among others.



Besides building up and winning nice prizes, there are really only 2 reasons

to even come here at all: getting Cotton on your team, and beating the

EarthDragon. Getting Cotton is a simple proceedure which is explained in 

Red's walkthrough, but the EarthDragon is a different matter...here's how to

find it. From the entrance, go around and climb the steps. Ignore the door

to the right and go up below the tree and enter the door. In this library 

room, defeat the guard if you'd like, and then read the books for some info

on various races. Now touch the lone bookshelf to open a secret passage.

Climb down the ladder and go through the door. In this hallway, head down 

through the door (or up if you want to get Cotton). You'll be in a basement

room with some horrid looking plants. Go left and around the big building;

enter it, climb up the ladder, and touch the computer. (You can choose to 

ignore the people here -- they're just more monsters.) This will shut the 

lock off of a door. Now go back to the steps (but don't climb up) and go 

right. If you came this way before you shut off the lock, the door leading 

into the little room here will be locked, but since you shut the lock off, 

the door is now opened. I recommed saving now, because when you talk to the 

lady, she will turn into the EarthDragon, a VERY powerful enemy!!



:::Defeating the EarthDragon:::



This is no easy task! The dragon has some pretty strong attacks; IronBall 

being the worst, as the dragon uses it over and over again. His other 

attacks, GasFlame, Grasp and Trample aren't really so bad, but I recommend 

healing every so often because every three rounds of fight, the dragon uses

IronBall. He also uses Quake from time to time, just avoid this by wearing

JetBoots and AngelArmor. For attacks to use against the EarthDragon, I 

suggest non-blockable attacks like NoMoment, LifeSprinkler, ReverseGravity,

etc. as the dragon has a powerful shield. Also note that DSC has no effect

here, so just skip it for now. If you're using Red, try to turn into 

Alkaiser and use Al-Phoenix. T260G should use V-Max followed by CosmicRave.

Blue should use the OverDrive + ShadowServant + Tower + StasisRune trick, 

and Riki, Emelia, Lute and Asellus should just use the attacks I listed 

above. Since the EarthDragon is so slow, you might want to consider using

TimeLeap to stop some of it's attacks. (You...do have it...right?)

The EarthDragon seems to have somewhere around 70,000 HP, and since

it can easily block attacks, this may prove to be a long, hard fight. If 

you're *REALLY* lucky, the EarthDragon may drop a HyperionBazooka or a 

SprigganSuit, some VERY powerful equipment. Oh, just so you know, you CAN

have a mystic absorb the EarthDragon using MysticSword/Glove/Boots, but you

don't get very high of a stat boost, and the skills are useless, (those 

hoping to absorb IronBall or something will be dissapointed...) there's no

real reason to even try this. (Believe me, I HAVE done this...^_^)



Whatever the case, after beating the EarthDragon, go behind the platform 

where he/she/it was standing and claim yourself a powerful DragonShield.



Now that you've beat the dragon, congratulations, you've beaten the 

all-powerful optional boss that every game seems to have one of.



---Furdo's Workspace---

Treasures: GlowRobe, PearlHeart, UnicornTear



This is a rather sorry area. You can reach it in Magic Kingdom by going 

between the two rows of bushes near the lower part of town, then entering

the regal looking building beyond them. Although this strange castle is

pretty big, there's not much here except a bunch of monsters and treasures

that have been turned to stone. Look around for room with surrounded by 

stone fairies, that also contains a strange blue vine-like thing. Touch the

'vine', and all the fairies will come to life and fly off. Now exit this 

room through a door on the right, and you'll be standing next to a stone 

box. The fairies will now be flying around the castle, turning the treasures

and monsters back to normal, so just wait for a fairy to come and un-stone

the treasure box. It contains a GlowRobe. After getting the treasure, climb

the stairs and go in the left door. You'll be up on the ledge in the room

with the vine (the place where the fairies start.) Ignore this place for now

and go down. This room contains 4 lizards and 2 treasures. Let the fairy

depetrify the treasures and take them to get a UnicornTear and a PearlHeart,

then go back up to the room you just came from. Now, on the right side of

the room, enter a hidden door, and go up until you reach an office room 

where you'll meet Furdo, the master of this weird castle. Talk to him and

you'll start fighting him for no apparent reason.



:::Defeating Furdo:::



Like the sad dungeon he runs, Furdo is a pretty sad boss. Even if your team

is only moderatly built up, you should have little to no trouble beating

this guy. Furdo likes to use GlassShield alot, which is annoying, to say the

least, but it can be easily destroyed by using a projectile attack like 

magic or guns. Besides GlassShield, Furdo's only other attacks are (for some

weird reason) the 3 mystic skills!! (Sword, Glove, and Boots). Careful, 

these can instantly kill you. Furdo has a really low amount of HP, so he 

should go down in only a few rounds of fight. 



This whole area makes no sense to me. There's barely anything here, you

just seem to fight Furdo for no reason, you don't get anything for beating

him (and he's not a hard enough enemy to be very proud of beating), and the

enemies here aren't anything special either. in short, only come here if 

you're in the mood to waste a few minutes.



---Sei's Tomb - In depth---

Treasures: Murakumo, Magataka, Mizukagami, Kusanagi



A good place to pick up some treasures is Sei's Tomb, located in the 

northeast corner of Shrike. If you've played Red or Riki's quests, you 

should know how to get in. Follow Riki's walkthrough to collect the 3 

treasures. (All the other rooms are dead ends.) Now place the Murakumo, 

Magatama and Mizukagami on the 3 glowing alters. A secret passage leading

to Sei's chamber will appear. Enter it and examine the coffin, Sei will get

up and attack you.



:::Defeating Sei:::

(Method submitted seigfriedh@hotmail.com)



The trick to beating King Sei is using only unarmed techs. He is VERY weak 

against them; TriangleKick does something like 1000 points of damage and 

it's one of the weaker ones. If you stay away from Swordtechs, you 

should be able to make short work of him. The other trick is NOT to kill 

all four of his skeletons when he first appears, as then he will start 

using MinionStrike, which does serious damage to all your characters. As 

with the EarthDragon, use unblockable attacks on Sei, because he too has a

shield. Sei only has about 15,000 HP, so just keep attacking him and you've

basically got this battle won.



When you beat Sei, he'll offer to either join you or give you something. If

you ask him to join you, he will proceed to do so - he's a powerful ally who

can use all the moves he used while you fought him...only now they're on 

your side!!! If you opt to have him give you something, you'll get the 

Kusanagi. Although this sword is very powerful, it costs a bit of WP to use;

remedy this problem with the DoubleSlash trick. (See Below)

If you'd like, you can just get the Murakumo, Magatama, and Mizukagami and 

just leave without meeting Sei, these are all good items as well. Although

the Murakumo is a pretty lousy sword, the Mizukagami is probably the third

best shield in the game. And the Magatama, if used in battle, casts 

SacredSong, a powerful holy elemental attack.



Whatever you choose here, you always come out a winner!!!



---Berva Base - In depth---

Treasures: Bolt Thrower, SecretBoard, RottenMeat, 500 credits



If you got knocked out by Berva while fighting him in the Shingrow ruins, 

you'll end up here and you HAVE to get out. If you beat Berva, this is an 

optional area where you can pick up some free goodies. After Berva escapes

into Shingrow Palace, return to the room where you fought the Goblin 

earlier, and examine the upper wall -- it will slide away, revealing a 

secret passage leading to this base. From the entrance, climb down the steps

and grab the treasure laying on the ground next to you to get a Bolt 

Thrower. Now enter the door on the left, then go into the upper right door

in the next room to get a SecretBoard and some RottenMeat from the treasures

here. Now leave this room and climb down the steps to the left. This room

is some kind of prison, but there's nothing here, so proceed through the

door on the right wall. On the left side of this next room, there's a weird

looking machine, and a treasure chest that you can't seem to be able to 

open. (If anyone knows how to get this thing opened, let me know.) Ignore

these distractions and go in the lower door and explore this sandy area to

find a bag with 500 credits inside it. After collecting these treasures, 

just leave the base, as they're all that's here.

(These weren't made by me, I claim no credit for them)



---Free Items in the Junk Shop---



Although The Junk Shop in Scrap has some nice items, the price for getting

these is FAR too high, and you usually get Junk, BrokenBumper, or RepairKits

instead. However, there IS a way to rig this otherwise worthless shop. 

Simply pay your way to get in (Usually 600 Credits) and pick out the 3 

items. Now go talk to the lizards and choose to sell a HyperionBazooka.

(even though you don't have one.) Now go back aand search the boxes, you'll

get to pick 7 items now...FOR FREE!!! Of course, you can choose to "sell" 

any of the items there and also get free items, but you'll get one less free

item for anything above the HyperionBazooka on the sell list. (i.e. The

LightRifle will get you 6 items, HG-Cannon will get you 5, etc.) Anyway,  

after picking up the free items, go back and try to sell another Hyperion

Bazooka, you'll get ANOTHER 7 free items!! You can repeat this as often as

you want to get some nice items. Although when you first start, you usually

get rather lame items (KukriBlade, CombatSuit, etc.), or RepairKits. Sell

the RepairKits after you get about 20 of them, and the items will improve.

After a while, the boxes will only contain one item, but it's usually a 

powerful, expensive, or rare item. The list below shows all that you can

get.





(The boxes are lined up like this)



1  2

   3   4



5     6



1. "Junk Weapon"  2. "Junk Gun"  3. "Junk Gun"     4. "Junk Armor"

Knife             AGUNI-SSP      WaterCannon       Leather Glove

BroadSword        AGUNI-CP1      BeamCannon        ShellBracer

CombatSuit       MirrorGlass

ElectroArmor     LeatherBoots

JumpSuit         RubberShoes 

WarLordArmor     JetBoots

CyberSuit        FeatherBoots



After all the best items start coming in, collect 99 Osc-Swords and you can

sell them at Shrike for well over 10,000 credits!!! Also, it might pay to

outfit your team with CyberGloves, JetBoots, ExcelShields, and WarLordArmor

or CyberSuits.



---The GoldIngot Trick---



I believe this trick is called "Takonomics". It's basically a quick and easy

way to make over 50,000 Credits!! To start, I suggest you have at least 

10,000 credits (you can get that much by using the trick above). Start the 

trick by going to Nelson and buying as many GoldIngots as you can afford.

Now go back to Koorong and sell the gold until the price for it drops down 

to zero. Now with your extra money, go back to Nelson and buy more Gold

Ingots and sell them again. Although the price for selling the gold is still

at 0, simply press down on the controller until the shop says you have 0

GoldIngots left, but DON'T SELL THEM!!! Instead, pust up on the controller

and you'll see that the price for the gold is starting to rise!!! Keep 

rising the gold up until you end up with the original number you had. Now 

lower and sell all your gold. You should end up with more money than you 

started with. Repeat this until you get 99 GoldIngots. Repeat the trick as 

above, but when the price for gold maxes out, only sell 52 GoldIngots; 

you'll have well over 50,000 Credits!!!



(Yes, I know this may not have made much sense. I wrote it in a hurry and

would gladly appreciate a simplification of this trick.)



---DSC---



DSC is the ultimate physical attack. To get it, you must first learn and

equip 4 specific fighting techniques -- Sliding, Suplex, BabelCrumble, and

GiantSwing. You can learn Sliding by using Kick or normal attacks, and the

other 3 can be learned by using AirThrow. DSC, when used, performs anywhere

from 3-5 moves, and the more moves it does, the more damage it inflicts...

This can be well over 20,000 damage if you're lucky!!!



---Mec DSC?---

(Thanks to SeanFFT007)



Ok, so Mec's can't REALLY get DSC, but there is a way to make an attack that

is almost as good!! First get Shoot-All (preferably in T260G's quest) Two 

HyperionBazookas, any number of HEAT Bazookas, any number of HyperBlasters 

and added weapons (i.e. Rabbit's LaserCannon). Now use Shoot-All -- you have 

one killer combo there!!



---The Abyss Bat---



This rare and elusive monster will prove to be quite a challenge. He (it?)

appears in the north-western ruin; the Ancient ship T260G needs to 

explore. Enter the ship and go up through the vine covered door. In the next 

room, if you don't see any monsters, walk up and a giant shadow will appear

on the ceiling, turn into a giant bat, and attack you -- this is the Abyss

Bat. The Abyss bat can do a LOT of damage. It's attacks include: Tornado,

MagneticStorm, and a deadly combo containing DeathTouch, FireKiss, and Life

Steal!! This is a TOUGH enemy. It has around 50,000 HP, and actually, you

probably won't have any trouble killing this pest if you're strong enough. 

There is no real reason to find and kill this denizen of the darkness except

for the fact that it may leave a LightRifle behind after beating it. I don't

know what causes the Abyss bat to appear. I was playing as Blue when I first

encountered it, and have never seen it with any other character. If anyone

else has any info on this most interesting enemy, PLEASE mail me and let me

know!!!



---2nd Div.---



This is the legendary "programmers room". Actually, it's not as hidden as

you might first think. Simply beat all 7 quests using the system data

(doesn't matter if you started over). After beating the last quest, you'll

arrive here with the team you were currently using. There's quite a bit to

do here: Fight any of the 7 final bosses, plus two new ones. Listen to ANY

of the game's music (even unused ones!!), and hear sound effects. You can 

also talk to (and even FIGHT) some of the programmers!!



---Power Spells---

These are potentially very powerful and useful, but aren't very well known 

about. This little list explains some of the better of these spells.



Fool (Arcane Magic)

This spell lowers strength for everyone. Essentially useless. However, if 

you equip this spell and a SilverSpread, a spell called SilverFang will 

appear in your swordskill list underneath the SilverSpread. It is a basic

attack that costs 5 JP (yes JP, not WP) and looks like the enemy attack, 

Fang, except it's...well...silver colored.



SharpPain (Evil Magic)

This spell stuns all enemies... sure, you'd probably pass this spell off as

useless...that is, unless you know the secret here... When you use 

SharpPain, you ALWAYS go first!! Also, this spell has at least a 60% or more

chance of working, even on strong enemies like Dullahans and Krakens!!



StasisRune (Rune Magic)

StasisRune is a strange spell. When cast, it stops the user and the selected

enemy for a long time, plus it takes away all JP, WP, and Bullets. SnakeOil 

can be used to cure the caster, but you still have to wait for the effects 

to wear off the enemy... Sounds useless right? Well it's initial effect IS,

but it does have some OTHER useful functions:



1. Simply having this spell added to your spell list will make the Mirage

   Magic 'Cockatrice' appear under VictoryRune when you have a RuneSword

   equipped. That's right!! Now any character can use Mirage Magic!! (Well,

   anyone equipped with a RuneSword and StasisRune can anyway.)



2. Allows you to use OverDrive without losing all your JP, WP, etc. First,

   cast OverDrive. Now cast 7 (or 5-6 if using Rouge or TimeLord) spells, 

   making StasisRune the last spell cast. It will freeze the enemy and the

   caster. Use SnakeOil on the caster, and he will be able to take 8 turns,

   even though OverDrive has worn off!! Use this time to cast stat 

   increasing spells such as VictoryRune, Shield, LightSword, etc. When the

   effects of StasisRune wear off the enemy, you're team is now much 

   stronger because of all the stat boosts, and being in '8 turns' mode, you

   should be able to beat any enemy easy this way!! It even works on bosses!



Reaper (Mirage Magic)

Reaper is by far the best of Rei's Mirage Magics, as it deals quite a bit of 

damage, as well as a good chance of an instant kill. Although you could just 

cast PhantasmShot to get the effect of this spell, it happens only rarely.



TimeTwister (Time Magic)

This spell allows the target to perform his/her current action twice. This

spell, if used properly, can effectively DOUBLE the damage that ally does to

an enemy. For example, try casting it on someone using DSC, that character

will perform DSC twice, for double the damage, at the WP cost of only ONE

serving of DSC!!



TimeEclipse (Time Magic)

Usually passed off as a weak attack spell... TimeEclipse is essentially one

of the best spells in the game!! Not only is it a powerful spell, but it's

petrify effect can kill strong enemies in one hit!! Also, try using this

spell on a Dullahan or a Kraken. It'll kill them instantly and will NEVER 

MISS!!!!!! Finally, if it DOESN'T kill an enemy, it has a high chance of

absolutely murdering their speed -- it reduces it to 0!!!!!!



---The Porno Book---

This is an overlooked mini-secret. In the library at Shrike (west of the 

inn, if you've never been there), there are several books that list various

rumors, a 'hint book' next to the librarian that seems to have no use, and

a well hidden porno book. To find it, examine the back of the center book

shelf. If you're standing in the right spot, you shouldn't be able to see 

your character. If you've found it, the lead character will say something

funny. There is no nudity here or anything, just some funny messages. All 7

characters (maybe Rouge too...) say something different here, so you might

as well check it out.



%%%%The RegionMap%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

These is a complete list of all the places you can travel to using the 

RegionMap. I'm making this merely to prove that there are 6 spaces that 

simply CAN'T be filled. (If a box says "Blank", it means there is a space

there that can't be filled. If there's nothing in the box, it means there 

isn't anything there.)



| 1st Slot      | 2nd Slot      | 3rd Slot      | 4th Slot      |

\---------------------------------------------------------------/



You can fill the blank spots using GameShark, but they don't actually lead

anywhere, and can actually cause the game to crash, leading to my belief 

that there is NO way to fill the 6 "Blank" spots normally.



%%%%Some trivial, but interesting facts about SaGa Frontier%%%%

Hey, this isn't anything important, but I found these little tidbits quite

interesting.



At the beginning of Red's Chapter, when Red and his dad are driving 

down the street, no other cars pass by unless either of them says something.



When fighting Shuzer at his base, he tells Alkaiser that he (Shuzer) has

Dr. Okonogi's brain, then says "Can you really do it, Alkaiser, can you

really kill your own father?". First of all, if Shuzer had Dr. Okonogi's 

brain, he'd have all his thoughts, and hence, be a good guy, which he isn't.

And second...How did Shuzer know that Dr. O is Alkaiser's father!? Alkaiser

never mentions to anyone that he is Red!!! 



Mesarthim can wear boots, regardless of the fact that she doesn't have feet!



All the Zodiac Signs are carved on the floor of TimeLord's Region (even

Serpentarius!!) And if you touch a monster that's sitting on one, you'll 

fight a battle with a Zodiacly (Not a real word) correct monster! Like if 

you try to fight the monster on the "Scorpio" sign, you'll fight a group of 

scorpions!!



Dr. Nusakan strongly resembles Hojo from FF7. Likewise, Asellus is just like

Terra from FF3/6!!



The various BlackX soldiers appear to be some reference (or insult) to the 

Power Rangers. They all share the same color outfits.

(Square did something like this before, in Super Mario RPG.)



MBlackIII looks just like Alkaiser (Actually, it's impossible not to have 

noticed this!!)



Blue is on the Cygnus during the pirate attack, but he won't join... This is

probably due to the fact that Red's name in French is "Rouge", and we all

know how Blue feels about his twin...



Near the very beginning of Red's quest, look on the left wing of the Cygnus,

you'll see Emelia and Ren!! (Since Red's quest was the very first one I 

played, I thought they were Cloud and Tifa when I first saw them...Ren looks

a LOT like Cloud!!)



There is a manhole in the Koorong sewer that you can never open...

In addition, there is a trap door in at the bottom of the steps leading to

the basement of Lord Manor in Owmi that is never, in any way, used.



There is a cave in Facinaturu, where you end up if you're teleported there 

by Virgil.  If you go inside, there's a voice that says it's the protector 

of Facinaturu... it's probably something that was cut from Asellus's 

scenario, or something.



Blue and Red were also in Treasure Hunter G, an RPG released only in Japan. 

Red looks similar, but Blue looks totally different.



There were only 2 names that were completely changed from the Japanese 

version of this game. (Something of a rarity.) Kowloon became Koorong, and

Coon became Riki. (Personally, I like Koorong and Riki better anyway.)

There were a few other more subtle changes, like how Zozmo became Zozma, and

Duvan became Devin.



If you push the Select button on the subscreen, you can see your character's

names. If you have Dr. Nusakan or Capt. Hamilton on your team, letters will

be cut off of their names, making them "Dr. Nusaka" and "Capt. Hamilt". 

Weird...



This isn't exactly in SaGa Frontier, but Emelia makes a guest appearance in

Breath of Fire 3. She's the lady in the purple bunnysuit selling tickets 

outside the arena. Well, it's not REALLY Emelia, but it certainly LOOKS like

her. (When she's dressed as "Bunny Emelia")



Try doing the following things:



Talk to the woman on the street in Shrike with Fei-on in your team.

Talk to the kids in the playground in Shrike with Red or Riki as the hero.

Talk to Cotton with Fuse and/or Doll on your team. 

Meet Captain Hamilton and travel to Mondo's base with Gen in your party.

Talk to Rei with White Rose in the team before going to the Dark Labyrinth.

Visit Princess Rei's Bedroom in Chateau Aiguille with Rei in your team.

Visit Lute's House with Lute in the team.

Talk to the Nakajima Foreman in the Scrap Pub with Asellus as the hero.

Talk to the bunnylady who mentions the gnome with Emelia as the hero.

Talk to the skeleton in Koorong with Gen on your team.

Travel to Tanzer and meet Nomad with Red as the hero.

Talk to all the wine brewers in Yorkland during the Arcane Quest with Red.

Talk to Mesarthim with different mystics on the team.



These things do nothing to alter the game, they are merely some added 

messages or cutscenes; try them for fun and see what happens.

 5. Various Tips/Tricks from other SF Players

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a section that...well...basically is for secrets that aren't so 

secret. Obvious little tricks that are easily overlooked. Most of them were

submitted by other SaGa Frontier players and they will be credited for them.



Giant Trick - Submitted by seigfriedh@hotmail.com



The giant in the back hill of Chateau Aiguille can be used to build up with.

Once you beat it, instead of opening the skylight, go back in the crystal

room and heal up. Now go back to the window and the giant will be back!!

Since the giant is a powerful enemy, you can easily learn powerful attacks 

from fighting him. In addition, you can also win PowerBelts and Obsidian 

(swords) from them too!!!!



The DoubleSlash Trick - Also Submitted by seigfriedh@hotmail.com



The problem with most of the very powerful swords in the game (Kusanagi, 

Asura, etc.) is that it costs WP just to make a basic attack. There's an 

easy way to get around this and do more than normal damage at the same time! 

Teach the character with the sword the basic DoubleSlash ability and then 

equip them with six physical techs - DoubleSlash, which does more damage 

than a basic attack, now costs 0 WP! This way, you get 120% of the attack 

power of the sword at no cost whatsoever!



Regaining your WP - Submitted by mswenk@aol.com



You can regain all your WP while on a quest without having to use a 

SanctuaryStone or visiting a hotel, base etc.  Simply move the team member 

who is low or out of WP to another column and replace him with another 

character.  Then after two or three fights check the stats of the original

character.  They will have regained all or most of their WP.  Then you can 

change them back again. If it is your Hero who is low or out of WP then you

have to use either Team 2 or 3 for a few fights and then change your team 

back and everyone will have full WP. 



Alternate Hell's Lord Strategy - Submitted by tucool2@juno.com



Here's an easy way to beat Hell's Lord. Have Blue equip the following

spells. StasisRune, ShadowServant, MegaWindblast, VaporBlast, Sacrifice, 

OverDrive and Reviva. At the first round of combat have Blue cast OverDrive. 

Then cast these spells in the following order: ShadowServant, MegaWindblast,

MegaWindblast, MegaWindblast, MegaWindblast, MegaWindblast, MegaWindblast, 

and then StasisRune. Hell's Lord will then be frozen and so will Blue. Have 

someone give Blue a SnakeOil. From then on Blue will have eight consecutive 

turns every round and everyone else will still be able to move. If the party

gets hit hard have Blue use Sacrifice, and if Blue runs out of JP, you'll be

able to use VaporBlast as a replacement. With this advice, who needs the 

almighty DSC.



Cool Weapons - Also submitted by tucool2@juno.com



Most players have never got some of the best swords and armor in the game

just because they don't know where they are. For instance, most people

don't know about the ZeroSword, an awesome sword purchased in the shop in

Nelson for a pretty cheap price if you did the unlimited credit trick. It

also sells the great WarLordArmor with a defense of 32. Another great

buy is the almighty PoweredSuit. It has a whopping defense of 50!! And

if you are mec, it increases your HP +100, increases your strength

+25,and your quickness +25!! Also, in Kyo, you can buy some accessories

that increase your stats.



DragonShield's For Everyone!! - Submited by fxgold@yahoo.com



This is a way to get DragonShields for everyone in your party and build up

at the same time. This works better if you decide you don't need the gift 

for Arcane Magic too soon in the game, and if you're fairly strong.  

In Mosperiburg, when searching for the Shield Card, go to the room with the 

two dragons in it. Defeat them, and if you're lucky, you'll get a Dragon

Shield. Use your best attacks against it (or don't if you're strong 

enough). After beating them, go back in the room and fight the dragons 

again. Continue long enough and you'll have enough DragonShields for 

everybody. This is also a good way to build up. If at anytime you want to go

back to town just go to fight the Suzaku and lose to it. You'll be back in 

IRPO and you can come back to Mosperiburg whenever you want. 



------------------------------------------------------------------------

 6. Lists

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contrary to popular belief, everything you see on this list *IS* 

correct. I've seen the SaGa Frontier guide book and it has many 

mistakes. (Dullahan Shield, Gilrandly, etc.) Almost everything here was 

taken DIRECTLY from the game (I assure you, that took a LONG time!!)



A (G) Mark next to an item means that it was taken out of the game for 

some unknown reason, but it can still be obtained with a GameShark. In 

addition, many items were censored from the U.S. Version of SaGa Frontier. 

These items are called "NotUse", and can be obtained using GameShark. They

still have stats, so I included them anyway. (For those who've played it, 

they're sort of like the "Dummy" items in FF2 U.S.)



An (E) Mark next to an item means it is pre-equipped in a battle, and thus, 

I don't know it's exact stats.



When referring to the gun-type weapons, if the "Bullets" or "Uses" line is

blank, it means that particular gun has unlimited uses.

*RailCanon is a real item. It's name is (of course) a typo. It can be used

by T260G when he's in the form of a type 3 mec. It's identical to the Rail

Cannon.



**To use the SatelliteBeam, equip it on a Type 2 Mec, then have them use

BitSystem. On their next turn, SatelliteBeam will be selectable. This is

basically a shortcut so you don't have to have to learn SatelliteLinker.



***If anyone knows what MinorLaser, DragonCannon, and LastRing do, please 

let me know.

===Swordskills===

Note: All Swordskills do physical damage unless noted otherwise. Also, 

if it says that a swordskill causes Stun or Paralysis, that is in 

addition to doing damage. The only 2 Swordskills that DON'T inflict 

damage are Deflect and CrossDeflect.

Once again, all these fighting skills do physical damage, if it causes a 

status ailment, that is in addition to the damage. The only fighting 

skills that don't do damage are SwayBack and the Alkaiser skill, 

FinalCrusade.

===Gun Techniques===

You already know the routine here about the damage thing. QuickDraw and 

TwoGun don't do any damage. StunShot doesn't damage enemies, it just 

stuns them. The "Bul." Column is how many bullets each skill takes to use.

===Item Magic===

As in most RPGs, there are many weapons and armor that produce special 

effects when used in battle. Here's what I've found so far:



ShadeRobe     - MagicHeal            FortBody      - Graviton

ECM System    - ECM                  Mysticwear    - MagicHeal

Magihat       - MagicStone           FireCrystal   - FireBarrier

IceCrystal    - IceBarrier           BoltCrystal   - BoltBarrier

DurahanShield - DeathGaze            Magatama      - SacredSong

SandVessel    - QuickSand            CharmNecklace - Seduction, Kylin'sSong

PurpleEye     - PhantasmShot         Iron Clogs    - IronClogShot

MellowRing    - LifeRain, Maelstrom  DanceShoes    - MysteryTap



*The CharmNecklace's power can be upgraded and allows use of Kylin'sSong and

the MellowRing's power can be upgraded and allows use of Maelstrom if

the wearer has MysticBoots

===GameShark Spells/Skills===

(Submitted by BaddKarma@worldnet.att.net)

These spells are only accessable with GameShark. Since they all seem to have 

stats, I thought I'd include them anyway. I've never used these (as I don't

have GameShark), so their effects may be wrong. 

                

                JP  Type     Effect

Salamander      5   Light    Fire Attack, same as the monster skill

To use the KO attacks, equip them, then use the attack that matches their

name (i.e. use Kick if you want to activate KO Kick), when you get attacked

bye an enemy, an attack that would normally trigger KO Throw, you'll use 

that KO attack instead, but like AsuraRevenge, these won't work unless the

enemy attacks BEFORE you use Kick, Punch, etc.

 8. Shopping List

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I figured since there shops are so few and far between, why not a 

shopping list? Next to an item or weapon shop, it will say either "buy" or

"sell". That simply means that you can only buy or sell the particular items

there. All Magic Shops are buy only.

 10. Character Growth, Learning Special abilities, ect.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

There are many methods to learning new ablilities, here's how it's done.



---Learning Swordskills---

Learning swordskills is a relatively easy process, but it can prove to be

quite time consuming. Start by using your most basic attack, that is, just

attack with your sword. Asura and Kusanagi are the lone exception to this

rule, as their magical-based attacks cancel the learing process. Your sword

fighters seem to learn better with straightforward swords equipped, not

Knives or Rods. If you're not learning, it probably means the enemy is too

weak. Use your basic attack on enemies that are stronger that you are, and 

the learning rate SKYROCKETS!! Two good examples here are the Bio Research

Lab in Shrike, and the Swamp at Yorkland, as the enemies here are usually

much stronger that you. Another reason you may not be learning, it that you

don't have any open slots on your skill list. You MUST have at LEAST one 

open space, or you won't be able to learn. I suggest equipping a maximum of

6 sword skills. This way, you can learn up to 2 attacks per battle, while 

still being mastered. To learn Katana Techs, simply attack with katanas,

learn katana techs seems to be more random than anything else. To learn

2 sword attacks, you MUST have 2 swords equipped, and like katana techs, 2

sword attacks seem to pop up at random. Deflect, CrossDeflect, Kasumi, and

Godless are learned randomly from the enemy attacking you. Some lower level

sword skills may lead to upper level swordskills if used enough. This can

be a way to learn super skills faster, or maybe it's the only way to learn

them at all... Here are some examples:



Thrust        ---> ThunderThrust ---> TripleThrust

DeadEnd       ---> RosarioImpale ---> LifeSprinkler

WheelSlash    ---> Haze-to-Wheel*

HeadWind      ---> TurbidCurrent

NoMoment      ---> Still Stream

SwallowSwing  ---> GaleSlash     ---> 2GaleSlash

Smash         ---> BearCrush

Heaven/Hell   ---> DeadEnd

WillowBranch  ---> RisingNova

ShadowCounter ---> LifeSprinkler

ShadowCounter/MoonlightCut ---> Blizzard ---> Tres Flores

*I believe the ONLY way to learn Haze-to-Wheel is by using WheelSlash.



There are many others, but these are just a few prime examples.



After several basic moves have been mastered, you're very likely to learn

a few master, or "Ultimate" attacks. These include RosarioImpale, Haze-to-

Wheel, and LifeSprinkler.



---Learning Fighting tecniques---

Learning fighting techniques is basically the same as learning swordskills, 

except you must use punch instead. Fighting skills, while generally weaker 

than swordskills, contain a secret skill which is more powerful than any 

swordskill...but it's somewhat difficult to learn...it's name?...DSC!!!

DSC (or Dream Super Combo, as the guide book calls it), can only be learned

by learning and equipping four specific fighting moves: Sliding, Suplex,

BabelCrumble, and GiantSwing. DSC, when used, will use anywhere from 3 

moves (all except GiantSwing, inflicts minimal, but still high damage), 4

moves (all the moves listed, VERY powerful), or 5 moves!! (All 4 moves plus

an extra Suplex thrown in at the end; inflicts over 20,000 damage!!!) 



Like swordskills, some fighting moves can only be learned by using certain

other fighting moves. Here are some examples:



AirThrow ---> Suplex, BabelCrumble, LocomotionG, GiantSwing, SkyTwister

Kick     ---> Sliding, Rotation Kick, TriangleKick, Corkscrew

Sliding  ---> OgreRun

Fist     ---> GoldHand



Ultimate attacks include Corkscrew, Lastshot, SkyTwister, and of course, 

DSC!



---Alkaiser Techniques---

Learning Alkaiser's special skills is very similar to learning normal sword

and fighting skills, except for the fact that only Alkaiser can learn and 

use them. Start by using Alkaiser's RaySword until you learn BrightFist.

Here is the easiest way to learn his skills:



RaySword   ---> KaiserWing, KaiserSmash

RaySword   ---> BrightFist 

BrightFist ---> (All Other Alkaiser techs except Re-Al-Phoenix)

Al-Phoenix ---> Re-Al-Phoenix



Al-Phoenix and Re-Al-Phoenix are both ultimate moves capable of massive 

damage. FinalCrusade can only be learned from beating any of the BlackX 

Emperors (Berva, Shuzer, Arachne, MBlack), it can't be learned normally.



---Magic---

Learning Magic is EASY! If you have the gift for a type of magic, simply use

a spell from that catagory and you may learn a new spell of that class at 

the end of the battle. This is determined by Intellegence, the higher it is,

the easier it is to learn new magics. Best of all, you don't need empty 

slots in your skill list to learn new magic either!!

The Ultimate magics in each catagory are as follows (According to the game):



Realm:  VermilionSand 

Mystic: MirrorShade

Light:  LightSword 

Shadow: DarkSphere

Rune:   StasisRune (ehem...the game maker was obviously blind)

Arcane: Tower

Mind:   LifeWave

Evil:   RavaBarrire (Unobtainable)

Time:   OverDrive

Space:  Vortex

Life:   Both Sacrifice and Reviva

Mirage: ???



---Gun Techniques---

These are learned like magic. Simply use a basic gun attack or another gun

tech and you may learn a new one at the end of battle. You don't need free

slots to learn these.



---Mec Skills---

Used by Mecs, These can be absorbed by any enemy mec. do a variety of things

from restoring mecs WP, to skills that let you avoid dangerous attacks, 

to attacks capable of massive destruction. Of course, to get more powerful

programs, you must defeat more powerful enemies. Also, be sure to absorb any

boss mecs (MBlack, MecGod, etc.) as they always have good programs waiting

for you. Certain Mecs have certain skills that only they can use, and are 

enhanced by the weapons or armor they currently have. Here are some 

examples:



Type 1: (No Special Skills)

Type 2: CounterECM, SatelliteLinker

Type 3: KAMIKAZE Crush

Type 4: ???

Type 5: ???

Type 6: Crosshair, RangeFire, EnergySupply

Type 7: HammerCrush

Type 8: ???



I don't know type 4, 5, and 8's special skills because I haven't really

bothered to play around with them yet.



NEVER underestimate the power of Mecs!!



---Monster Skills---

Monsters, like mecs, gain their skills from absorbing enemy monsters. When 

you absorb a monster, you gain a new skill and your monster will most likely

change it's form. Also notice that monsters have 8 slots for skills, but one

of them is reddish orange. When you absorb a skill, it appears here. If you

like it, you can move it out of that slot, thus enabling you to keep that 

skill permanently. And if you don't like a skill you currently have, or have

all 8 slots full, absorbing a new monster will delete the skill in the 

orange slot and replace it with the new skill.



Example:

Say Riki learns MagicHeal by absorbing an enemy.  Go to his Equip Ability 

screen and move MagicHeal from the bottom slot, to one of the empty slots.  

Now, the next time he absorbs an ability, it will go into the bottom slot, 

and he can use both it and MagicHeal.  



Easy enough? 



---Mystic Skills---

Mystics can absorb monster skills in their "MysticSword", "MysticGlove", and

"MysticBoots" if they kill an enemy with them. Not only does this allow use

of some pretty powerful abilities, but it also raises their stats!!

 11. GameShark Codes

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I'm not usually one for putting GameShark codes on my FAQs (being this 

is my only one...well...), but I found these codes to be most interesting. 

And let it be known, I don't know if these codes work, as I don't have a 

GameShark. If you have any questions concerning any of these codes, e-mail

BaddKarma@worldnet.att.net



Each character has two sets of codes by his or her name. The top one is used

for Abilities, and the bottom one is for Items

Here's a trick when using the item codes. As long as the switch on the Game

Shark is on, you can't "unequip" the item. That is, you can un-equip it and

it'll appear back on your inventory, but you still have it equipped. You can

do this to get 99 of any items, Except items (Mec Weapons, MysticMail, etc.)

that can't be unequipped normally.



%%%%All Spaces on the RegionMap%%%%%%%%%%%%%



Put in this code:



80012B7E 0000

80012B80 0000



Now use the RegionMap, all the spaces will be selectable, but don't try to

travel to anywhere you're not supposed to be able to go or the game will

crash.



%%%%MagicStones of Doom!!%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

(This is an EXLUSIVE code!! Found only in this FAQ!!!)



First put in this code:



8001E024 03E7

8001E028 03E7

8001E030 0063

8001E032 0063

8001E034 00FA

8001E036 00FA

8001E038 00FA

8001E03A 00FA



After activating the code, give MagicStones to the 5th character in your 

party, and everytime he/she uses a MagicStone, it will do 65535 HP damage 

to all enemies!!!
