## ---Author's Note--- ## - going to remove certain things from this
#########################
Welcome (sounds pretty trite for an introduction). Actually this is my
first walkthrough and I really want this to look good. The reason why I
chose to make a walkthrough on Threads of Fate mainly is that there are no
walkthroughs that are specifically written for it as of August 7, 2000.
Maybe, I also created this because Threads of Fate is a relatively short game
(about 24 hours of game play).
*Also since I haven't completed the game yet and just played up to the
underground ruins of Mint, some of the things in my you need to know these
stuff section will be conflicting. Also PLEASE DO NOT BUG ME AND CURSING ME
INTO FINISHING THIS FAQ/WALKTHROUGH. DO NOT SEND INFO ABOUT ANYTHING THAT I
HAVE NOT BEEN TO YET [NOW I AM AT THE MISSION AFTER GETTING YELLOW MAGIC AND
NO, I HAVE NOT PLAYED RUE YET. You might think what guts did I have to place
on GameFAQs my incomplete walkthrough but I WAS JUST TELLING THE THREADS OF
FATE GAMING WORLD THAT A THREADS OF FATE (NA VERSION) Walkthrough/ FAQ IS ON
THE WAY. ALSO SINCE IT WAS ULTRA HARD TO CREATE MAPS AND IT TAKES TOO MUCH
TIME, DO NOT BLAME ME. I AM STILL STUDYING HIGH SCHOOL AND I ONLY USE MY
FREE TIME IN DOING THIS.] ALSO I DID NOT LOOK AT OTHER FAQS / WALKTHROUGH
FOR THE GAME BECAUSE 1. THE GAME FOR ME MAY BE SPOILED AND 2. I CAN GET
IDEAS THAT MAY MATCH THE AUTHOR AND I MAY BE ACCUSED OF PLAGIARISM.
*I will remove this paragraph when I am in the near completion of this
walkthrough.
I also included short paragraphs in almost all or all parts of the game
that talks about the story of the game (enclosed by these - *story*). They
are SPOILERS so I suggest that you should not read them unless 1) You have
finished the game or that section already or 2) You did not understand the
story at that part.
Everyone is welcome to read this document. This can also be sent to anyone
without notice as long as 1) it is not used for commercial or profitable
reasons 2) used to sell a product 3) altered or ripped off 4) the author and
all those who contributed are credited (I really took time doing this and I
deserve it [I think {sigh!}] and the ones who contributed too) 5) you are not
going to intend to plagiarize my work!. [see the copyrights and legal stuffs
section]
I am not perfect. I make mistakes somewhere here and somewhere there. I
also miss a lot of things, specially hard to get items or side-quests that 1)
requires you to go back to a dungeon you already finished or 2) requires you
to talk to a person or to several persons in order to trigger the quest.
Please correct me from my mistakes. Also, if you want to add/contribute
something that I missed or miscellaneous tips, just E-Mail me and I will
credit you. Spelling and grammar corrections will also be appreciated. I am
also poor (sometimes) in understanding the plot or story of a game so if I am
mistaken in writing about a certain story line, E-Mail me. [My E-Mail
address is written somewhere at the beginning of this document but if you do
not want to scroll back up ... (why?) it is ]
If there are something you want to add such as the enemies stats, or game
secrets or anything, please give it to me. I will credit anyone who
contributes to this thing.
If you want this document on your site just E-Mail me. I am quite a
considerate person and will most likely, allow you to post it.
You can also send me questions via E-Mail.

## ---Introduction --- ## - I am going to fix this, it sounds stupid
#########################
Threads of Fate is an action-RPG which is developed and released by Square.
It is like Brave Fencer Musashi or Blaze and Blades or Alundra in terms of
gameplay.
Threads of Fate is 3D (just like Brave Fencer Musashi or Alundra 2) and has
two playable characters namely Rue and Mint.
##############################
## ---List of Characters--- ## - to be updated as I progress
##############################
Rue - A mysterious boy. The lead male character in Threads of Fate.
Mint - A spunky girl. The lead female character in Threads of Fate. A
somewhat immature princess that was supposed to be the successor to the
throne but was replaced by her more *suitable* sister Maya. She journeys to
get hold of a [Relic] so that she can beat up her sister, become queen and
dominate the world.
Maya - Mint's younger sister. The successor of the East Kingdom throne.
Holds the Book of Cosmos, which is an Aeon Relic.
Doll Master - Some evil guy at East Heaven Kingdom. He aims in getting
Valen's [Relic].

sell it for money. She is together with the Duke in getting the [Relic].
Duke - Belle's admirer and he travels together with Belle. He also wants to
get Valen's [Relic] for money.
Mel - Also known as Fancy Mel. Mint said that she looked like a some kind

dwarfs. They help Mel in her tasks. You will also talk to them to play the

## ---You Need to Know These Stuff--- ## - to be updated as I progress
########################################
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ ---Starting a Game--- +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Just connect your Play Station on an electrical outlet, press the Eject
button, put the CD in (the Threads of Fate CD), press the power button.
You will see the Sony logo, then the Play Station logo. Then you will see
something like this 'released by Square' or something, then you will see the
Squaresoft logo. After that you will be at the 'Press Start Screen' where in
there is the Threads of Fate logo.
At the press start screen, you can press L1 or R1 to see some kind of intro
of the two main characters of the game, other characters and enemies. There
are no FMV sequences in this game. [Why? Why Square? ... Why? ...]
If you press start, you will be asked whether to start a 'New Game' or
'Continue' your game [that you already saved (duh!)]. Press 'X' to confirm.
If you chose 'New Game', you can choose between the two playable characters
in the game, either Rue [Tale of a Mysterious Boy] or Mint [Tale of a spunky
girl]. Press the 'X' or confirm button to begin any of the two tales.
++++++++++++++++++
+ ---Controls--- +
++++++++++++++++++
You can change the controls in the game .
D-Pad - Character Movement. Up, Down, Left and Right.
L1/R1 - Rotate Camera - applicable in certain places only.
- See also Camera Movement section
The different control settings
-Control Setting A-
Triangle - Magic
Square - Set Magic
X - Attack / Confirm
Circle - Jump / Cancel
-Control Setting B-
Triangle - Set Magic
Square - Magic

-Control Setting C-

Square - Attack / Confirm
X - Magic

-Control Setting D-
Triangle - Magic
Square - Attack / Confirm
X - Set Magic
Circle - Jump / Cancel
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ ---Camera Movement--- +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
You can change the game's camera movement in the game options. Access the
game options from the menu. There are two types of camera movements, normal
and reverse. The normal and reverse concept of this game is unlike other
games and I believe that Square was mistaken in this one. Why?, because:
The normal camera movement goes like this. When you press L1, the camera
moves to the right and when you press R1, the camera moves to the left.
[Isn't this supposed to be the reverse camera movement]
The reverse camera movement goes like this. When you press L1, the camera
moves to the left and when you press R1, the camera moves to the right.
[This should have been the normal camera movement]
+++++++++++++++++++
+ ---Attacking--- +
+++++++++++++++++++
Attacking in this game gives you a 3-Hit combo then there will be a brief
stop. Attacking is also auto-aim, meaning that if you attack, even if the
enemy is behind your back, your character will automatically face the other
direction and whack the enemy. Also, if you attack, every time you hit an
enemy your MP will restore depending on how powerful the enemy is (the
stronger the enemy is the higher the restore of MP).
+++++++++++++++
+ ---Magic--- +
+++++++++++++++
Mint uses MP when using Magic. Magic is divided into classes and type.
Different magic classes are (Blue, White, Red, Green, ).
Also, magic, just like attacks, is auto-aim. Mint automatically aims the
magic to the enemy. Also magic attacks with different effects (like Spread,
Wide, Super). You can gain classes or colors from certain events and the
effects can be acquired from chests scattered in the game.
If you press the 'Set Magic' button, you can change the color of the magic
to the one you want to use by pressing the 'Left' or 'Right' direction button
and by pressing the 'Up' or 'Down' button, you can change the effects of the
magic.
In the 'Set Magic' screen, the one in the center is the icon of the magic
you want to use and the icon of the effect. On the top, you can see the
magic's name, below it the MP and below of it, on the left is the effect of
the magic and at the right is the description of the magic (though it is a
very vague description for a magic attack but you can get ideas from it
though).
Also check out the magic list section.
+++++++++++++++++++
+ ---Game Over--- +
+++++++++++++++++++
If your HP reaches below 0, you will be in the 'Game Over' screen (except
for situations like fighting Rod or the fight together with the Trap Master).
In this screen you will be asked to choose from three things, first whether
to continue the game at that point, or to go back to town or to exit.
If you chose the first 'Continue', you will be asked what is the coin you
want to use: Bronze Coin - Full HP & 1/4 MP
Silver Coin - Full HP & 1/2 MP
Gold Coin - Full HP & MP
Platinum Coin - Full HP & MP, +1 Base Strength & Defense
If you chose to 'Go back to town', you will end up in town [where else?]
and your parameters (Maximum HP, Maximum MP, Strength & Defense) will remain
the same to the ones before you died, and NOT before your last save so it is
all right. The monsters coins you have will also be the same at the time
before you died so do not worry. The problem with this though is that the
items you picked up at that place will be gone and you have to go back
through that place again :(.
If you chose exit, you will forfeit your chance of continuing, so if I was
you, if you are planning on choosing this, reconsider and choose the 'Go back
to town' option and 'Save' your game if you want to quit.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+ ---Increasing Parameters--- +
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In Threads of Fate, there are no 'Level Up' features, nor do you gain
experience from fighting enemies. To increase your parameters, you need to
do the following. Check out Hobb's Shop and Item Shop in the The Town
section.
___________________________________________________________________________
| Status of | How to increase |

*Story*
Mint's story begins as she runs in a hall and opens the door and enters
the dining room. Gramps will tell her that it is not yet time to eat and
that she should go back to her room, but she said that she was very hungry so
she tasted one of the foods.
*Story*
************************************************
* 'East Heaven Kingdom - Castle - Dining Room' *
************************************************
Now that you can control Mint, press the confirm button on all the foods
until you have tasted them all then press the confirm button on the chair or
throne {whichever you want to call it}.
*Story*
After tasting, she then sits on the King's chair or throne, then Gramps
will tell her not to sit there but Mint says that since she will be queen
anyway, it is ok, but her younger sister arrives, namely Maya. The Doll
Master accompanies Maya {the weird looking guy}. Maya and tells Mint that
she is not worthy to be the successor of the throne and it is already decided
by the High Council where in the King also approved that the successor
wouldn't be Mint even if she was the eldest in the family. Mint asks why
that decision was made but Maya said many reasons such as she is childish,
selfish, lazy and the list goes on. Mint gets angry, shows Maya the 'finger'
and charges her magic to attack her sister with but Maya was holding the
'Book of Cosmos' the greatest Aeon [Relic] which is a powerful magic caster
so Mint doesn't have a chance against her. Mint asks if Maya was just joking
but Maya was serious and attacks her using a pumpkin [Mint hates pumpkins].
The pumpkin chases Mint out of the room.

{You will see Rue, just passing by the ship's deck}
*Story*
It was already been two years but still there are many things going on in
Mint's mind. About her getting the [Relic] and beat Maya up, succeed in the
throne and dominate the world. She also thinks about making Maya her slave,
let Maya clean the toilet and stuff.
There are also two hoodlums, Smokey {small fat guy} and Blood {tall guy}.
They thought about stealing your money but they didn't do it. Then the ship
bumps a red thing, you will fall down the ship and get rescued by Davis, the
one who manages the docks.
*Story*
******************
*'Carona - Docks'*
******************
Now, you go and climb the land elevation
*Story*
The two hoodlums will push you and you will fall down. Mint gets angry
and wanted to beat up those two and Mint heard that they are going to the
forest {Carona Forest} so Mint decided to go there too.]
*Story*
Now go back up and you will be in town.

First things first so what you should do, if you like is to save. To save,
go to the 'Inn' see #5 on Map. Enter the 'Inn' go to the counter and press
confirm button at the log book (that is what it looks like for me), select
register. (See Saving in 'You need to know these stuff' section. You can
choose to go to the church. Talk to Doyle (the person in there), say that
you like to pray, then he will ask you if you like to make a donation but
since you only have 100 G so don't bother. There is nothing to do at the
Hotel. Elena's House is locked. The store doesn't sell anything yet but the
storekeeper will tell you about the antique shop. He will say that the
antique shop is in another side of town and the shop's keeper Klaus is out
together with his wife Mira to research about the [Relic] in the forest. He
also will say that the antique shop is being run by Klaus' daughter, Elena
[because Klaus is not there] but she isn't there because she has gone to the
forest to go looking for her parents. You can talk to the people there and
they will say some interesting things so try talking to them (specially to
Marco). After that, proceed to B (see Map).

Here, first check the barrel, it contains a Silver Coin. Go to the tavern
if you like and talk to Annette (the waitress) many times and she will treat
you to drink either 'Milk' or 'Root beer'. Milk restores 10% of your MP and
the Root beer restores your MP 25% (so choose the 'Root beer'). There is
also a sign beside the Tavern's door (leads you to the outside of the
Tavern). There will be a fight at Grass Field Root, the entrance fee is 100
G and the winners prize is 1000 G. Leave the tavern. Hobbs' Shop is locked
so leave the place and go next to C (see Map).

Walk, then jump the three stumps, then your first battle. You will be
fighting against the Pollywog, (see Fighting, and Increasing Parameters in
'You need to know these stuff' section) they are EASY, just whack them. The
game will say that when you attack an enemy, your will gain MP. Also the
enemies drop potions. The Blue Potion restores some of your HP and the Red
Potion restores some of your MP. The restoration of your HP when picking up
the blue potions or restoration of your MP by picking up red potions or
attacking enemies physically depends on how strong the enemy is [If the enemy
is pitiful, you will gain 1 or when it is strong, you will gain 2 or more].
The enemies keep coming back so after beating enough (two of them I think)
advance to the place where you need to use magic to defeat the enemies (see
Magic, 'You need to know these stuff' section). One hit will kill them, now
cross the water (shallow water), take the 3x Bronze Coins in the treasure box
(or whirling pink thingie) [would you mind if I call it box or chest or
something and not whirling pink thingie. Onto the next section

Just walk, fight, walk, jump, walk, fight, jump or something. Just reach
the exit. Nothing special here except two new enemies, the Saber Tiger and
the Mandola. The Saber Tiger is fast and deals 3-8 damage to you. You can
kill it in about 3 hits. The Mandola attacks in long range, and can be
killed within 3 hits. Before you leave the area, make your you have at least
30 HP and 50 MP, you'll need it, trust me.

*Story*
Here you will see the antique shop's daughter, Elena, together with Blood
and Smokey. They are going to steal money from her. Mint thinks of this
situation as she becoming a hero and settling the score with those two for
knocking her down at the docks so she decided to beat the two up. First,
Mint kicks Blood on the face, then again. Then Mint calls them dumb so Blood
gets mad and attacks you.
*Story*
Here is your first *BOSS* battle against Smokey and Blood.
*Boss Strategy - Smokey & Blood*
Challenge: Easy
What you do here is run until only one is at your back [try to trap one
using obstacles]. When he is alone, Set Magic to White - Vulcan. Blast him
until about 18 - 25 hits and the fight is over.
*Story*
Elena thanks Mint and Mint says that it is alright. Mint asks her what
is she doing in the forest and Elena says that she is looking for her
parents. Mint asks what her parents and Elena replies by saying that her
parents are researching about the [Relic]. Elena asks Mint to accompany her
in finding her parents, Mint agrees because she knew that this is an
opportunity to find out more about the [Relic].

Here, you will talk to Elena's parents, Klaus and his wife, Mira. You will
meet Rue here for the first time.
*Story*
Klaus, Elena's father already know what Mint is about to ask because
someone has asked him earlier, it was Rue (Mint thought that Rue was some
kind of weirdo ^_^). He will tell you about the [Relics]. Since he has
spent his life searching for ruins, he found out certain things. Klaus says
that 100 years ago there was a magician that was also searching for the
[Relics]. The magician lived in an Aletier (a magician's workshop) which
has a key to somewhere that could probably lead to the [Relic] but the
problem is that it is below the steep cliff and Rue and Klaus tried going
down but they both broke their ankles. What Mint is supposed to do is to go
down the cliff and get hold of the investigations and findings that the
magician knows. Without much hesitation, Mint crazily jumped down the cliff.

Nothing important, just a new enemy, the Stinger. It has high defense but
only 3 HP, he also deals you 1 damage. It takes 2-3 hits to kill this guy.

Here, what you do is talk to the Crest & then you will fight the two
Gargoyles. If you kill only one of them, it will come back to life. What
you do is lure them both into a good position where you can attack them both
at the same time and kill them in nearly the same time (about 1 or 2 seconds
delay before one will again come back to life) [I haven't tried using White -
Spread or Blue - Cutter, please try them and E-Mail me if it works fine].
After defeating them both, the steps will appear leading you to the exit.

*Interesting stuff to check out*
Try running around the perimeter of the place and looking at your shadow.
The shadow depends on the lighting of the place. Pretty cool huh!
What you do here is to run around and get shining things on the ground.
First get the Bronze Coin (&) and the Silver Coin (x). After that enter the
Aletier but ... *BOSS* battle, Nightmare.
*Boss Strategy - Nightmare*
Challenge: Medium - Easy
Just try running around, while evading the attacks and when Nightmare
closes, jump away. After getting used to his pattern, beat it up to the
finish by using White - Spread. When you are low on MP, try attacking and
evading attacks.
After finishing the battle, proceed inside the Aletier.

*Story*
Mint tries to attack the vault and kick it but it wouldn't open. Klaus
enters the Aletier and examines the vault. He opens it using a the switch on
the vault. The vault will open and reveals a diary and a key. Klaus tries
to read the diary and it tells about the [Relic] which was created by the
Aeons. Aeons are the powerful magicians that can change the stars orbit or
move landscapes but mysteriously all of them perished. Now you should be
heading back to town.
*Story*
*******************
* 'Town of Carona' *********
****************************
*Story*
Mira, Klaus wife is talking to Ms. Cartha, the innkeeper. She asks Ms.
Cartha to let you stay at the inn for free so now you can recover HP at the
inn. Mira tells you to proceed to their house (Klaus house).
*Story*
I suggest that you go to the inn first to save. Go inside the inn, talk to
Ms. Cartha and she will ask you to Recover / Recover & Register / Go to your
room. Choose Recover & Register then save your game [sadly, the inn only
restores your HP]. After that, if you like, check out your room. Nothing
really important, just talk to the bed and sleep [it doesn't replenish your
MP either :(].
Leave the place and go check out Hobbs' place. Even though you can buy
anything here yet, just make a trip their to find out more stuff about the
game. In Hobbs' place, you can choose to [upgrade] your base strength, base
defense, maximum HP and maximum MP. Your base strength will increase by 1
and the same goes for the base defense. Your maximum HP and maximum MP will
increase by 10. It costs 30,000 G for each one (base strength or base
defense or maximum HP or maximum MP). It is ultra-mega-hyper [ok, you
probably understand already] expensive but if you give the Rare Wine to him
later in the game, you can buy one for 5,000 G.
Now you can go to the tavern and replenish your MP (but I suggest not to).
Talk to the bartender and he will offer you Milk for 50 G (restores 10% MP),
Rootbeer 120 G (restores 25% MP) and Tropical Delight 220 G (restores 50%
MP). Leave the tavern.
Now to got to the shop. At the item shop, talk to the shopkeeper, his name
is Tonio. First sell your coins (monster coins not the Bronze or Silver
Coins). Check out what he is selling. At this point, he is selling
Item Shop
Item Description Cost
Bronze Bracer - Bonus Strength +4 - 1,000 G
Silver Bracer - Bonus Strength +8 - 3,000 G
Bronze Belt - Bonus Defense +4 - 1,000 G
Silver Belt - Bonus Defense +8 - 3,000 G
If you have 3,000 G, go buy the Silver Bracer. After that leave the shop.
Now if you have confidence in yourself, try going to the Grasslands. Here
try fighting Rod.
*Story*
Here, Rod introduces himself and his dog Johnny Wolf. He says that he is
a weapon blacksmith and a swordsman. Mint asks if she can see the weapons
but Rod said that he only shows his weapon in battle. Mint asks Rod for
battle but Rod refuses because he turns Mint down. Mint says to Rod that she
will leave so she turns around but she kicked Rod. Rod finds out that you
are good so he decides to fight you for 100 G (you will win 1,000 G if you
beat him). Also, Mint hates being called 'baby' so she tells Rod her name.
Pay the 100 G and do battle.
*Story*
*Boss Battle - Rod*
Challenge - Hard
Approach him with caution. Do not go near him when he is spiraling
either the ground or jumping one. Try leading him to the obstacle (in the
middle). He will stop spiraling so now run and attack him using a 3-hit
combo, then evade his attack by jumping back twice. After that attack again
using a 3-hit then evade his attack by jumping back again twice. Then run
around until he does again the spiraling move (either the jumping one or
ground one). Repeat the above steps again till you win.
If you win against him, you will get 1,000 G but if you lose then you
wasted your money. So after that, go back to town and go to Klaus' House.
Go to the basement and talk to Klaus.
*Story*
He will tell you that according to the diary you found at the Aletier
below the cliff, an Aeon [Relic] is sealed by a high order of magic, which
even the magicians cannot break. And according to the diary, the magician
will go to the Aletier of the Master Magician Elroy. Now you are instructed
to go to Elroy's Aletier and get more info about the [Relic]. He also gives
Mint something that he found at the Aletier, the Red class of Magic. (^_^)

After that, go talk to Marco, the kid outside town. Talk to him twice
until he tells you about a something hidden in the stump in Carona Forest.
So now, head for the Hotel and ask for a room (it costs 500 G).
______=______

First get the bed and examine the bed to sleep. You will dream about some
monkey, jumping down the hollow stump. [You might wonder that why did I let
you sleep in the hotel if you could have just slept at the inn. 1) is that
because you can get the Dream Stone here and 2) No you will not get the dream
if you slept at the inn.] After that leave the Hotel and head for Carona
Forest.

There are two kinds of enemies here, the Stinger and the Mandola. The
Stinger is hard to hit so just measure the time when they are near your
attacking range, hit them. When you reach the whithered plant, blast it with
your Blue Magic - Raindrops. It will take a few hits and the plant will
grow. Now, step on the plant (just jump to get to it) then get on the higher
elevation part (L) and take the (&) The Last Hero [I don't know what this
does]. After that leave the area. You can leave the area by going right
until you reach the wall and jump towards the right.
You will end up at the other open stump of the Carona Forest. Now that you
are here, time to go search for the items that I listed that you should get
later, get them now, the Silver Coin and Bronze Coin (outside the Aletier).

you can already give this to him now, or later in the game.]
If you have the money, go to the shop and buy the Silver Belt, but if you
do not have enough money, go to the forest and beat the hell out of the
enemies there until you gathered enough money to do so.
In town, you can talk to Graham and he will give you tips in playing the
game. After that, proceed to the 'Underground Ruins'.

At the entrance, you will see Rue, he will say that he heard from Klaus
that Mint is going to the underground ruins so he decided to go too. He
heard that the enemies here are strong so Mint and him needs to work
together. He then jumps to the teleporter and Mint decided to hurriedly go
to Aletier so that she would get more of the stuff inside, she then follows
him . (why did Rue go ahead of Mint if they are to work together?)

Mint will wonder how did Rue get there so fast. Rue will say to Mint that
there is something blocking their way. But after that conversation, the
boulder begins to move and will most likely flatten anything on its way.
*Story*
RUN!, NOW!, don't mind Rue getting flattened. I think the debris that are
dropping down the ceiling drops at random (I did it 6 times and I got 2
patterns.) There is a time that both ceilings will fall, jump to avoid it.
Head for the place you started add and let the boulder crash and destroy the
obstacle.
Go steal from the dead (he is not actually dead but unconscious), talk to
Rue's boots (he is still wearing it) to get a Bronze Coin. Go step on the
recovery spot if you want to replenish your HP, then head for the exit (there
is only one exit here).

During your fight, it will sometimes breathe fire. If that happens, just
jump to avoid it to another place. After that, he / it (whatever) will be
tired and he / it will be blinking and go pound him / it silly. Sometimes it
would be jumping, just do not go to that place and you won't take any damage.

*Story*
Mint will see her OLD enemy Belle together with Duke. She is assuming
that you are up to no good. She is the one Mint beat up a year ago
somewhere. Mint calls her an OLD hag [:P] and she gets enraged but Duke
tells her that she was only 30, for revealing her age, she whacks Duke (he
became unconscious). After that she will attack Mint.
*Story*
*Boss Battle - Belle*
Challenge - Easy
Just beat her like silly. But , if you want a flawless victory, avoid her
when there are things that are circling around her until she throws them to
you (avoid those too!).
*Story*
Mint is sure that it was a victory but it is not, she took the Tiara from
you. [After all that hard work [sniff] you [sniff] ... [sniff] ... you stole
it [sniff] ... from ... [sniff] me. [;_;]]. Mint gets mad and she demands it
back but Duke and Belle run away. Then Mint goes after them.
*Story*
Back to the past room, it would seem like another boss battle with Skull
Beast but now, it is invincible and it is stronger. Try whacking it once and
get the hell out. Go to the left and step on the pedestal with the star
icon.
Now, run like hell to the top by taking the inner belt (the one closer to
the center) and try avoiding the spiked iron balls by passing when you can
get a good clearing (it is quite alright to take a hit or two).
*Story*
It is a dead end, and the Skull Beast is close, Rue will kill the Skull
Beast and save the day [and your butt from being booted]. You will end up in
town.
*Story*

Go to Klaus' House.

You will be staying at the Town of Carona the whole game so you better get
used to it. There are no other towns in the game (just like Brave Fencer
Musashi).

1. Church - Being run by Doyle, talk to him if you want to pray and give
donations. By giving donations, he will give you coins. [Better call it the
Coin Shop rather than a church]. Coins are used when you are knocked out (O
HP) and you want to continue the game at the same spot.

|----------------------------------|------------------------------|
2. Hotel - Being run by Leeson, the guy at the counter and Solin, the
bellboy or security guard, talk to Leeson and pay 500 G to get a hotel room.
Sleeping in a hotel is just like sleeping in the inn but if you sleep in a
hotel, you may get a dream that is somewhat related to the side quests (for
example after 'World Domination, Baby', if you sleep there, you will dream of
a monkey going down the stump of the tree then you need to go there and
follow what the monkey did). Also, in the hotel room, sometimes there are
items that can be found. I already found the Dream Stone and a Bronze and
Silver Coin. They appear separate from each other so you need to come back
once in a while to sweep the hotel room floor for items.
3. Klaus' House - As the name states, this is Klaus' house. You need to
go back here most of the time or all of the time after completing a quest in
which you got an item which needs to be interpreted by Klaus. Many parts of
the story takes place in this house, such as talking about something that is
part of the storyline.
4. Item Shop - Being run by Tonio, this is the place to buy the bonus
items (bonuses for strength or defense). You can sell your Monster Coins,
Stones and the rare stuff that you found in the game here (DO NOT SELL THE
RARE STUFF's ESPECIALLY THE RARE WINE, NEVER EVER EVER SELL THE RARE WINE).
The bonuses doesn't add up (example if you buy Bronze Bracer which is +4 then
buy Silver Bracer +8, your bonus will be +8 and NOT +12).
Items that I have bought so far - to be updated as I progress
________________________________________________________

|------------------------------------------------------|
5. Inn - After the first Atelier, you can stay here for free. Here, you
can recover your HP (HP Only). You can save your game and go to your room
too.
A. Docks - Some items just come out at the docks. Be sure to check them
when you feel like it.

6. Tavern - Being run by the bartender together with the waitress Annette.
At the first time, if you talk to Annette many times, she will treat you with
Milk or Root beer. But after that, you have to buy them from the bartender.
Also after getting the Brooch at Gamul Forest, you can give it to Annette and
she will give you a discount on the drinks. The drinks here restores MP.
For me, it is not worth it because I whack enemies if I want MP (free and I
get to earn money too!).

| Drink | Cost | Discounted Cost | Restores |
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
| Milk | 50 G | 10 G | 10% MP |
| Root Beer | 120 G | 30 G | 25% MP |
| Tropical Delight | 220 G | 50 G | 50% MP |
|---------------------------------------------------------------|
7. Hobbs' Shop - Shop owned by Hobbs, you can upgrade your base status
here. At first it is expensive (30,000 G each) but when you have the Rare
Wine, you can give it to him and he will give you a discount (now, 5,000 G).
(SO DO NOT SELL THE RARE WINE FOR HOW MANY 1000 - 5000 Gs BECAUSE IT IS NOT,
AND DEFINITELY NOT WORTH IT.)
_________________________________________________________________________
| Upgrade | Effects | Original Cost | Discounted Cost |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Strength | Base Strength +1 | 30,000 G | 5,000 G |
| Defense | Base Defense +1 | 30,000 G | 5,000 G |
| HP | Maximum HP +10 | 30,000 G | 5,000 G |
| MP | Maximum MP +10 | 30,000 G | 5,000 G |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
Now you can go to the tavern and replenish your MP (but I suggest not to).
Talk to the bartender and he will offer you Milk for 50 G (restores 10% MP),
Rootbeer 120 G (restores 25% MP) and Tropical Delight 220 G (restores 50%
MP). Leave the tavern.
