INTRODUCTION - G0400 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== Hello! I am Damir Kolar and I welcome you to my new project. I've had XBOX360 for a while now and have played a fair share of games on it - after trying out a few of available RPGs console has to offer I've started thinking about making a guide for this one - Lost Odyssey. This will also be a good debut for XBOX360 coverage. Unlike the guides I made before, I'm doing this one as I play thru the game for the first time. I want to see how the work can be done under circumstances. Welcome to Split's FAQ for Lost Odyssey! Now let me to address some things: - Spoiler issue - I'm the player of the game, just like you (who is reading this guide) are. First time I've played through the game was completely by myself - therefore nothing was spoiled for me. All the story elements that were supposed to surprise me had such effect. Hence why I do not want include any spoilers (except names of cities, dungeons and NPCs you must address to continue the storyline). - Usage of abbreviations. If you've glanced over some of my other guides, you see that long ago I've grown accustomed to using abbreviations for certain words. Old habits die hard... - Achievements - I'm not a player who hungers for getting all achievements, but I am a player who wants to obtain everything in the game (all items, and that sort of stuff). Are you ready? Power up your XBOX360, open the disc tray, pop in first Lost Odyssey disc, close the disc tray, and then choose "New Game". Select your desired settings, and press A to continue to intro sequence. =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 05.) ABBREVIATIONS - G0500 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== I will be using some abbreviations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- cca --------------- in rough estimates chr ----------------- single character chrs ------------- multiple characters CI -------------- Casting Interference cross --------------------- crossroads E ------------------------------- east esp ----------------------- especially EXP ---------------- Experience points GC ------------------- Guard Condition KI -------------------------- Key Item N ------------------------------ north na -------------------- not applicable NE ------------------------- northeast NS ------------------- nothing special NW ------------------------- northwest rephy -------- regular physical attack S ------------------------------ south SE ------------------------- southeast SSP ---------------------- Save Sphere SW ------------------------- southwest VS ---------------------------- versus W ------------------------------- west ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 06.) VIDEO WALKTHRU - G0600 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== In following days I plan to replay whole Lost Odyssey one more time - but the difference is that I'm capturing on video my entire progress. You're able to find it on Youtube (and eventually my own site, where vids will be of better quality) at following playlist address: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=4D5662F701A265ED This is the link to first clip of the playlist, which is my guarantee that you as a player will be able to collect everything in the game: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgxPOdy1pA0 See you at "The End"! =============================================================================== =============================================================================== 07.) WALKTHROUGH - G0700 =============================================================================== =============================================================================== =============================================================================== HIGHLANDS OF WOHL =============================================================================== [Highlands of Wohl / Hypocenter] [Highlands of Wohl / Edge of Wasteland] [Highlands of Wohl / Gorge] =============================================================================== The game starts with a ferocious battle raging over the battlefield. Soon enough you're taken into a role of Kaim, the protagonist of the game. FIRST CHARACTER OBTAINED - KAIM For the moment you can only choose "Attack", "Item", and "Equip" (for the latter press left). Equipment can be changed on the fly during battle as often as you like, so remember that! Attack Magic Khent Soldiers in any order you like. After some turns pass another scene plays and it's time for a boss fight. ------------------------ HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER! ------------------------- HEAVY TANK RIGHT UNIT T: none E: none HEAVY TANK LEFT UNIT T: none E: none TANK'S MAGIC ENGINE T: none E: none --------------------------------- ATTACK LIST --------------------------------- 01. Magma Blast 02. Flame Thrower 03. Blade Up 04. Blade Attack ------------------------------ GET READY! FIGHT! ------------------- party lv10 "Defend" has been added as a selectable command. BTW, if Kaim is KOed, no worries - you'll get revived. Boss consists of two parts - Heavy Tank Right Unit, and Heavy Tank Left Unit. What you have to do is to alternate the attacks between the two targets - strike Left Unit, then Right Unit, then Left Unit, and so on. Be careful - if you attack say Right Unit two times in a row, your second attack will do very low damage. After you strike any of the two units for the fourth time, it'll blow up. Repeat for other unit and boss is disabled. A new target will appear - Tank's Magic Engine. Attack it and you win. -------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! --------------------- [Highlands of Wohl / Hypocenter] After more spectacular scenes you're in control of Kaim. There's SSP for you to use - I advise you to save often and in different slots. After saving advance N for event battle against few Insane Khent Soldiers - hey, I thought they were insane to begin with. After you win, continue N (do not step on lava, or you'll lose HP). Also, make sure you check debris, trees, pots, posters, and that sort of crap for items. On E dead end ram the debris for HEALING MEDICINE. Then ram another debris blocking path N which will cause a pillar to topple and create a path. You'll get BRUISER RING, and a TARGET RING SYSTEM TUTORIAL. Keep going up and ramming stuff for ANGEL'S PLUME, and MANA HERB. Shortly before passing to next screen notice a faint glow on the ground near the debris - pick it up for KI NAME PLATE. [Highlands of Wohl / Edge of Wasteland] Follow your nose and break boxes for HEALING MEDICINE, and MANA HERB. [Highlands of Wohl / Gorge] Another SSP to save, then break the box for HEALING MEDICINE. Scene will play - before boarding the car, open two CHESTs (NR001, NR002) for 4x WHETSTONE (you'll also get a RING ASSEMBLY TUTORIAL), and ANGEL'S PLUME, then go back S and nail two boxes for HEALING MEDICINE, and MANA HERB. Return to the car and board it. You have to at least open Whetstone chest before the game allows you to move forward. "Ring Assembly" is added to main menu - this submenu is used to create various rings that come in handy during battle confrontations. For now hold off creating any additional rings. =============================================================================== UHRA TROOPS =============================================================================== [Uhra Troops / Armored Vehicle] Talk to people, then get to other side of the car to move the story along... hold on! There is a hawt girl inside the vehicle - her name is Seth, and you better remember it! =============================================================================== MAGIC REPUBLIC OF UHRA =============================================================================== [Magic Republic of Uhra / The Great Gate of Uhra] [Magic Republic of Uhra / The Great Gate - Inside the Tower] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Monorail - The Great Gate Station] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Inside the Monorail Car] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Monorail - The Central Station] [Magic Republic of Uhra / The Central Station Square] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Uhra - Main Street] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Virno's Tavern] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Barkus' Arms and Armor Emporium] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Tolsan's Inn] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Uhra - Residential Area] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Gongora's Mansion - Garden] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Gongora's Mansion - Hallway] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Gongora's Mansion - Courtyard] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Gongora's Mansion - Magic Research Lab] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Gongora's Mansion - Magic Experimentation Laboratory] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Gongora's Mansion - Study] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Uhra - Amphitheater of the Sky] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Back Alley - City of Uhra] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Back Alley - Sewers] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Secret Cave] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Back Alley - Near Castle] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Castle of Uhra - Station Square] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Uhra - Outside of the Front Gate] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Monorail - The Castle Station] [Magic Republic of Uhra / Uhra - Inside of the Castle] =============================================================================== [Magic Republic of Uhra / The Great Gate of Uhra] Don't go inside just yet - kick the four trash cans for WHETSTONE, 10G, MAGMA FRAGMENT, MANA HERB, then climb the observation tower in foreground and kick the trash can for KI SEED (01/99). Climb back down and enter the facility. [Magic Republic of Uhra / The Great Gate - Inside the Tower] Board the elevator, then exit N. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Monorail - The Great Gate Station] Starting here, you'll see a lot of posters. Some of them hide items and you better nail them all - behind posters you can grab ANTIDOTE, 100G, 10G, KI SEED (02/99), HEALING MEDICINE. When done, board the W monorail. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Inside the Monorail Car] Walk N for two scenes. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Monorail - The Central Station] Near the benches there's a faint glow - pick it up for KI ENGRAVED RING, then kick a trash can near the elevator for COLD WATER STONE, and get on the elevator to access lower level of Central Station. You'll find SSP here. Cool. Check out the info-booth along W edge and talk to Meluz. Assuming you picked up Engraved Ring on upper level, choose "Yes" when prompted with 'Drop off the lost item?' to receive CURE-ALL. Check a poster on info-booth for MANA HERB, and kick nearby trash can for HEALING MEDICINE. Exit E. [Magic Republic of Uhra / The Central Station Square] We'll collect the items by grinding out N side first - kick the small metal pillars for 2x WHETSTONE, ANGEL'S PLUME, and examine the poster near NE car for KI SEED (03/99). There's one more metal statue to left of the fountain - it contains KI SEED (04/99). Go E and examine poster near Lost Nuhk for WIND SEAL LEAF, then exit E. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Uhra - Main Street] Several scenes unfold, then you're back on Main Street. Go W until screen shifts, then check poster on your left for WIND SEAL LEAF, kick metal pillar for MAGMA FRAGMENT, another pillar for 100G, and poster for KI SEED (05/99). While walking downstairs, check poster on your right for HEALING MEDICINE, then poster on your left for ANTIDOTE. Enter the SW dead-end alley to check poster for 10G, then probe the pot for 2x WHETSTONE. Now enter the tavern. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Virno's Tavern] Go upstairs and probe two pots for AQUA BOMB, KI SEED (06/99), and probe another pot downstairs in SE corner for 100G. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Uhra - Main Street] Considering your left, kick metal pillar for MANA HERB, another pillar for KI SEED (07/99) - that's it for items in this area! Enter the shop, which is the lower of the E entrances. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Barkus' Arms and Armor Emporium] The owner is nowhere to be found. It looks like he likes to travel hunting for new warez to offer - come back later. Back outside and hop into the inn. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Tolsan's Inn] SSP is found inside. Probe the pot near staircase for ANTIDOTE, pot on staircase for KI SEED (08/99), closet in NW room contains 100G (read the guestbook as well), closet in NE room contains ANGEL'S PLUME. Raid the CHEST (NR003) for HOLY KNIGHT CHARM (Crisis Defense Boost) and read Uhra Street Map book - now return to Main Street and exit N. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Uhra - Residential Area] Peel off poster near the stairs for 100G, and there's another poster near the entrance to playground which has KI SEED (09/99). Kick the can in playground for 3x WHETSTONE, and metal pillar on SE end for HEALING MEDICINE. Talk to Sad Martha sitting on a bench - assuming you picked up Name Plate, choose "Yes" when prompted "Hand her the Uhran soldier's effects?" to receive 2x POISON OIL. N from playground you'll find a lone poster on the wall - examine it for MAGMA FRAGMENT. What remains to be looted are three pots, one trash can and one metal pillar in E side of residential area. You'll nab WIND BOMB, KI SEED (10/99), KI SEED (11/99), COLD WATER STONE, KI SEED (12/99). Return to the inn. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Tolsan's Inn] Talk to innkeeper to move events along. THOUSAND YEARS OF DREAMS TUTORIAL will show up. "HANNA'S DEPARTURE" DREAM (01/31) obtained! As you try to leave the inn, innkeeper will inform you to take any items you want. Er, I kinda did that already... leave to main street and walk S for an event. You're supposed to go to Gongora's to see what the hell he wants - you can get there by taking N exit from residential area. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Gongora's Mansion - Garden] Here's another SSP for saving progress. Try to enter the mansion, few scenes roll, then you're allowed inside. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Gongora's Mansion - Hallway] Go right and enter the nearby door. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Gongora's Mansion - Magic Research Lab] Kick the can in SW corner for 2x QUALITY IRON SAND, kick the can in NE corner for KI SEED (13/99), then take N door. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Gongora's Mansion - Hallway] Raid three CHESTs (NR004, NR005, NR006) for FLARE BOMB, BERSERKER NECKLACE (Crisis Attack Boost), HAWK EYE (Factual Analysis). Behind two chests in background there's a crate you can grab - pull it to foreground, then let go of it and go behind it to reach another CHEST (NR007) with 3x MAGMA FRAGMENT. Now go back to the lab and take W elevator to reach Gongora's room. After the convo leave Gongora's and head for residential area to bump into Seth. Heeey, I'd like to bump into her assets too. Return to the inn for an update from the council - looks like I'm finally allowed to do my first mission with Seth. You need to head to Great Gate (it's where you were dropped off after arriving from Wohl). Either take the monorail there, or hop on magic taxi (found in Central Station Square, near the fountain). [Magic Republic of Uhra / The Great Gate of Uhra] SECOND CHARACTER OBTAINED - SETH THIRD CHARACTER OBTAINED - JANSEN SKILL LINK TUTORIAL will roll - make sure you read it thoroughly. After the scene take the nearby door. [Magic Republic of Uhra / The Great Gate - Inside the Tower] In the background have a chat with Veteran Soldier Rakls and hear his woes about the elevators. Agree to help him - you can move the lifts six times before their position resets. If that happens, just try again. Here's one possible solution: A, C, B, A, A. Once you have the lifts operational, take them to the top and nail the CHEST (NR008) for PLATINUM GAUNTLET (Guard Heal). Now talk to Colen, who is having troubles locating some soldier's helmet. According to Colen's clue, do the following - take the elevator up, and then down *without leaving the screen*. Once Kaim steps off, sniff around to the left of Colen and you'll be able to ram the elevator. Hey, a helmet! Pick it up and give it to Colen for ANTIDOTE BROOCH (Anti-Poison). Make your way to upper level of [The Central Station]. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Monorail - The Central Station] Approach Bragging Urena (sitting on bench) - "LITTLE LIAR" DREAM (06/31) obtained! Hike to [Residential Area]. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Uhra - Residential Area] Approach the couple sitting on the bench inside the playground to obtain "WHITE FLOWERS" DREAM (03/31). Go to Virno's. [Magic Republic of Uhra / Virno's Tavern] Approach the counter where a soldier Moton is enjoying a drink. You'll obtain "A HERO'S RETURN" DREAM (02/31). Exit the tavern and enter it again - this time go upstairs and approach Bonno, who is sitting next to one of the tables. "IN THE MIND OF A CAPTIVE" DREAM (04/31) is gained! Exit Virno's and enter it yet again - Veran is sitting behind the counter enjoying his drink. Approaching him unlocks "A MOTHER COMES HOME" DREAM (05/31). Return to Great Gate. [Magic Republic of Uhra / The Great Gate of Uhra] As you try to leave, Barkus will show up from nowhere. What a good timing! You can buy some stuff from him (THIEF BRACELET (Steal) if you're hunting for one copy of everything). Leave S for world map. While world map is displayed, you can save your game as well. Pick Ipsilon Mountains as your next destination. =============================================================================== IPSILON MOUNTAINS =============================================================================== [Ipsilon Mountains / Valley Road] [Ipsilon Mountains / Near Mountain Hut] [Ipsilon Mountains / Mountain Hut] [Ipsilon Mountains / Northern Ridge] [Ipsilon Mountains / Peak] [Ipsilon Mountains / Southern Slope] [Ipsilon Mountains / Cart Track] [Ipsilon Mountains / Mining Site] =============================================================================== IMPORTANT! GOT IT MEMORIZED? Water beats fire! Earth beats water! Wind beats earth! Fire beats wind! PRO TIP: Whenever you find a save point, save your game and then reload the save you just made. Your party's HP and MP will be fully restored. [Ipsilon Mountains / Valley Road] A few words on your current characters attack-wise and defense-wise: - Kaim is your physical powerhouse. Use him for pure physical damage, and not so much for magic offense because his magic-related stats suck. Kaim can take physical hits well, but magic attacks hurt him a lot. - Seth is kinda in the middle - less effective than Kaim in physical department, a bit more efficient than Kaim in magic department. She takes about average damage from both magic and physical attacks. - Jansen is the magic user of the party. Very effective in dishing magic damage, but poor in dealing physical damage. Jansen can take magic hits well, but physical attacks hurt him a lot. With my evaluation done, go back S a bit and ram the tree for 100G. There is SSP if you need to use it - proceed N for event battle. Jansen will teach you about formations, importance of Guard Condition, and how to delay enemy's turns with Casting Interference. After the battle SPELL TUTORIAL is available. There are three types of magic spells - white, black and spirit. Each class has 32 spells, ranked from lv1 to lv8. Generally, the higher the level the stronger the spell - it also costs more MP and time to cast. New spells can be bought, or found in dungeons or towns in chests, pots and what-have-you. Currently you have four spells: LV1 WHITE MAGIC HEAL (01/W32), LV1 WHITE MAGIC CURE POISON (02/W32), LV1 BLACK MAGIC (01/B32), LV1 BLACK MAGIC WIND (02/B32). Worry not, I'll be telling you of all spells and where to get them - let's continue. Ram the tree further N from SSP for KI SEED (14/99). In next battle Jansen is sure to reach lv10, at which point you gain two more spells - LV2 BLACK MAGIC SLEEP (03/B32), LV2 BLACK MAGIC PRISM (04/B32). Jansen will learn Factual Analysis skill upon reaching lv13. First Skill I advise to learn is Steal - and start swiping stuff from enemies so that you can customize elemental rings ASAP. Every bit of extra damage helps. Continue N until path turns towards W - there's a dead-end to NE, which contains two pots. Probe them for MANA HERB, LV1 BLACK MAGIC GROUND (05/B32). It's hard to describe which trees on this screen you can ram, but there are four more trees which contain goodies - 2x WIND SEAL LEAF, KI SEED (15/99), HEALING MEDICINE, MAGMA FRAGMENT; three pots with SLOT SEED (01/48), FLARE BOMB, 2x ANTIDOTE; and a CHEST (NR009) with KNIGHT'S CODE (Stand Ready). Exit W to next area. [Ipsilon Mountains / Near Mountain Hut] Ram five trees for: 2x MAGMA FRAGMENT, KI SEED (16/99), 2x WIND SEAL LEAF, 2x WHETSTONE, KI SEED (17/99); probe two pots for: FLARE BOMB, LV1 WHITE MAGIC BARRICADE (03/W32). When done, exit N into the hut. [Ipsilon Mountains / Mountain Hut] SSP is here. Probe the pot on E side for KI SEED (18/99), then examine the lamp to the right of staircase to turn it on, which will make a faint glow appear. Collecting it yields SEARCH GLASSES (Status Analysis). Two more pots on lower level can be probed for ANTIDOTE, POWER DRINK. Go upstairs - you can find a diary on the bookshelf (warns about a dangerous beast), then walk between the beds to examine another lamp. Turning it on reveals a faint glow below the bed, which yields another magic! LV1 WHITE MAGIC SHIELD (04/W32) is yours! Now talk to Jansen and choose to rest. In the morning leave thru N exit. If you look into Valuables, you'll discover KI BLACK PEARL OF DARKNESS inside. [Ipsilon Mountains / Northern Ridge] Break the rock near E side to get MANA HERB, then keep walking for some scenes. "THE UPSTREAMERS" DREAM (07/31) obtained! Heavy rain will force you to walk slowly - during your walk break two rocks simply by walking into them to obtain HEALING MEDICINE, ANGEL'S PLUME. [Ipsilon Mountains / Peak] You're about to enter a boss battle, so let's talk some preps. - Kaim skills: Stand Ready, Guard Heal, Anti-Poison - Kaim enhancement: Crisis Attack Boost - Seth skills: Stand Ready, Guard Heal, Anti-Poison - Seth enhancement: Crisis Defense Boost - Jansen enhancement: Anti-Poison Flame Rings recommended! ------------------------ HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER! ------------------------- GRILGAN T: none E: wind --------------------------------- BASE STATS ---------------------------------- HP | SP | GOLD | 1660 | 10 | 750 | --------------------------------- ITEM SPOILS --------------------------------- STEAL ITEM | DROPPED ITEM Slot Seed | Slot Seed --------------------------------- ATTACK LIST --------------------------------- 01. Poison Claw 02. Down Burst 03. Wind 04. Rephy ------------------------------ GET READY! FIGHT! ------------------- party lv14 Grilgan is an odd cookie. Sometimes it'll start the battle by immediately using Down Burst inflicting severe damage on your party, therefore I suggest that you defend during the first turn. Anti-Poison skill will keep Gril's Poison Claw in check from taking effect on your chrs so you'll avoid wasting turns using Antidotes. If boss decides to use rephy, it'll usually be thrown at Jansen, which is another reason you should keep your GC high (help recover it with Stand Ready skill). Boss carries Slot Seed for stealing, but why bother since you get it as guaranteed drop after the battle? It's entirely possible to win the battle by having both Seth and Kaim always defending, while Jansen is slinging Flares in boss' direction. No sooner than you say "Seth is hot, and I want her.", you win. -------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! --------------------- Woot - SLOT SEED (02/48) obtained. Save at SSP, then leave W. [Ipsilon Mountains / Southern Slope] Work your way past broken bridge, make two jumps, and then look out for another way leading to other side of broken bridge - nearby you can ram some rocks and then open the CHEST (NR010) for NOVICE EARRINGS (Lv1 Black-White Magic). Leave the screen towards SW. [Ipsilon Mountains / Cart Track] Grab the cart and push it as far N as you can, then ram the other cart to obtain COLD WATER STONE, walk around down the slope, ram another cart for KI SEED (19/99), leave towards NE. [Ipsilon Mountains / Mining Site] Walk as far N as you can and take the ladder down. Upon landing ram the rocks at nearby entrance and walk thru the tunnel to grab SLOT SEED (03/48) from the CHEST (NR011), then walk S as far as you can and take the ladder down. Descend another ladder, hike S a bit (ignore another ladder leading down) and ascend the ladder to reach a CHEST (NR012) with LV1 BLACK MAGIC AQUA (06/B32). Take the ladder you just climbed and then take the ladder I told you to ignore to reach the bottom. Walk N, push the cart into the gap to be able to cross, and exit N to world map. =============================================================================== GRAND STAFF CONSTRUCTION BASE =============================================================================== [Construction Base / Exterior] [Construction Base / Temporary Laboratory] [Construction Base / Engineer's Resting Room] [Construction Base / Building Material Warehouse] =============================================================================== [Construction Base / Exterior] Enter the W door to find a resting spot. [Construction Base / Engineer's Resting Room] Probe two pots for LV2 BLACK MAGIC POISON (07/B32), 3x HARD SKIN, and rest if you want. The two blocks on W side cannot be moved just yet, you need to find a secret entrance. Go back to the exterior. [Construction Base / Exterior] In NW corner you can see a ladder leading somewhere inside, but the path is blocked by two guards. Begin by talking to N guard, and then walk behind a corner. Guard will leave his spot, then quickly run into the alley, grab the N crate, pull it N as far as you can. Don't worry if you get spotted, crates won't go back to their default position. Once you take care of N crate, go talk to S guard, then walk behind a corner, guard leaves his post, run past him, grab S crate and push it N as far as you can. Once you have access to the ladder, climb it down. [Construction Base / Building Material Warehouse] Probe two pots for TURN-TAIL SHOES (Turn-Tail), KI SEED (20/99). Tatoms here has a shop open, so bust out your gold and get shopville! If you missed Antidote Brooch back in Uhra, you can buy one now, as well as *new weapons*. OMG, I can buy a new sword for Seth??? Yes! Most important buy you can make right now is 6x Magma Fragment, 6x Cold Water Stone, 6x Wind Seal Leaf, and 6x Quality Iron Sand. Doing so will allow you to combine two of each elemental ring, making you prepared for any foe's element. Once you have your gear, exit S into [Resting Room]. [Construction Base / Engineer's Resting Room] Push the two crates out of your way and exit E. [Construction Base / Exterior] Walk to NE corner, and you'll find a strange creature in the pot. That is a 1sr Pipot - give it Seeds you find on your journey and you may get something nice in return. Right now you have 20 Seeds, and in exchange you'll obtain ADAMANTIS and ADAMANTIS RING. If you give it 4x Healing Medicine, HEALING HERB is yours, and for 2x Mana Herb you get MANA CAPSULE. There's some more items to find - near the ladder leading into [Warehouse] is a poster with MANA HERB, and near the location of S guard is another poster with 100G. Before leaving make use of SSP, then exit SW to world map. =============================================================================== SEA OF BAUS =============================================================================== [Sea of Baus / Eastern Shore] [Sea of Baus / Rocks near Sunken Ship] [Sea of Baus / Reef Shallows] [Sea of Baus / Beach of Wastes] [Sea of Baus / Crater Island] =============================================================================== [Sea of Baus / Eastern Shore] On W side you'll find SSP and a CHEST (NR013) with TREASURE GLASSES (Treasure Analysis). Exit N. When Jansen reaches lv16, he learns Lv2 White Magic skill, which grants you usage of two more spells: LV2 WHITE MAGIC ZEPHYR (05/W32), and LV2 WHITE MAGIC CURE PARALYSIS (06/W32). [Sea of Baus / Rocks near Sunken Ship] Open the shell along W coast for HEALING MEDICINE, then walk into remains of the ship and at cross take W exit to reach a dead end with magic generators. Every so often it emanates sparks - if you get caught in sparkblast, it's bad news. You'll fall in event battle, where enemies have first strike. Ram it while sparks aren't flying and reward is yours - 3x INSECT INNARDS. Return to cross and take E exit, then kick the shell for 4x STICKY TAPE. Back to cross, N, open CHEST (NR014) for LV2 WHITE MAGIC ALL-SHIELD (07/W32), ram the planks to open the path forward, exit N. [Sea of Baus / Reef Shallows] Follow the path, kick the shell for KI SEED (21/99), further W mow down magic generator for YELLOW BAND (Anti-Paralysis), kick the shell at NW end for MANA HERB, mow down magic generator on E side for ANTI-PARALYSIS HERB, then kick the shell on extreme E for MAGIC-LURING STONE. Finally exit N. [Sea of Baus / Beach of Wastes] There's a Sethload of magic generators here - 8 in total. Ramming them awards you with: KI SEED (22/99), POWER DRINK, ANTI-PARALYSIS HERB, ANGEL'S PLUME, KI SEED (23/99), SLOT SEED (04/48), APPRENTICE EARRINGS (Lv2 Black-White Magic), GROUND BOMB. Exit N. [Sea of Baus / Crater Island] Open CHEST (NR015) further up for 4x PUMICE OF DESPAIR, ascend three sets of stairs, go E, open CHEST (NR016) with LV2 WHITE MAGIC ALL-BARRICADE (08/W32) and back to stairs to continue going up. There's SSP, but beware! If you're missing anything, you should go back and get it now, since you won't be coming back for a while. You're about to enter a boss battle, so let's talk some preps. - Kaim skills: Lv2 Black-White Magic, Stand Ready, Guard Heal, Anti-Paralysis - Kaim enhancement: Crisis Defense Boost - Seth skills: Lv2 Black-White Magic, Stand Ready, Guard Heal, Anti-Paralysis - Seth enhancement: Crisis Defense Boost - Jansen enhancement: Anti-Paralysis Flame Rings recommended! ------------------------- HERE COME NEW CHALLENGERS! -------------------------- BOGIMORAY x2 T: Organic E: fire --------------------------------- BASE STATS ---------------------------------- HP | SP | GOLD | 1830 | 0 | 0 | --------------------------------- ITEM SPOILS --------------------------------- STEAL ITEM | DROPPED ITEM none | none --------------------------------- ATTACK LIST --------------------------------- 01.

Rephy 02. Charge 03. Force 04. Appear ------------------------------ GET READY! FIGHT! ------------------- party lv17 Bogimoray in the back only attacks with Para-Flare once "Drawn MP" gauge is full. During battle Magic Insects will frequently perform Charge Magic skill, which will allow Bogi to Absorb higher amounts of MP. Reducing Insects numbers to 2~3 is way to go (do note that they will respawn several turns later). Have Kaim and Seth target same Insect and off it, while Jansen tosses All-Barricade. In second turn have Kaim and Seth kill another Insect, Jansen throws Aqua at Bogi. The result is enemies' ranks down, and Bogi losing around 25% HP (Aqua deals large amount of damage). You got Zephyr magic a while back, which can heal entire team at once, so fall back on that if you're hurting a lot. Magic Insects rarely attack, but you need to look out for Force, which deals about 200 damage. Before killing Bogi make sure you wound remaining Insects, so that you can off them quickly in second part of battle... what second part? You didn't think it will end so easily, did you? After you deliver finishing strike to the Bogi, that turn ends immediately, regardless of the fact that there may have been combatants who haven't acted. Another Bogi will appear in battle, with "Drawn MP" gauge fully charged. Defend on this turn to reduce Para-Flare's damage - should you not have Anti-Paralysis skill equipped, expect to be paralyzed. This will mess you up royally and can easily spell game over. Once Para-Flare is done with, kill off 2~3 previously wounded Magic Insects and start working on Bogi's HP. The rest of the battle goes pretty much the same as first half. -------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! --------------------- No SP or gold was awarded - stupid penny-pinchers! Seth needs more clothes, and I can't buy them if I don't have monies. You have around a minute or so to check around for stuff - near Jansen's is CHEST (NR017) with SAGE'S PROTECTION (Crisis Concentration), and to Seth's right is a CHEST (NR018) with HEALING POTION (view obscured by the fence). There are a couple of points of interest you can examine (like magic leaking outta the pipe), though eventually Seth pipes up and wants to go in the Grand Staff after you examine all three points of interest or some time elapses. Directly S from Seth is a magic energy, which restores your HP and MP when walked into. Get ready for an event battle, and make sure you have Steal equipped. Face off against 5x Numara Soldier, and Numara White Magician. The latter guy holds Circlet for stealing, so you want it. After first turn ends, you'll be shot at by arrows - every two turns Archer Support Fire will be pelting you, so don't get too carried away in forgetting to restore HP. To end the battle, all Numara Soldiers must die (killing Magician is optional). =============================================================================== CRATER ISLAND =============================================================================== [Crater Island / Numara Troop Camp] CIRCLET (Relax) obtained from previous battle (only if you stole it, or were lucky enough that Magician dropped it). You'll wake up trapped - what else is new? Where's Seth (who cares about Jansen and Kaim anyway...)? As Kaim approach N end of the cage to obtain "THEY LIVE IN SHELLS" DREAM (08/31). Talk to Jansen, and when scenes end, ram the door of Kaim's cage, then you'll be asked if you want to switch chrs, switch to Jansen, check the corners of Jansen's cage to find some rats - kick them, then switch to Seth. Examine her cage for rats too, kick them and switch to Kaim - examine NW end of the cage for faint glint, which turns out to be LIGHT LENS (Anti-Blind), then patiently wait for more scenes. Even if you don't pick them up, no worries - accessory can be bought later. =============================================================================== THE WHITE BOA =============================================================================== [The White Boa / Brig] [The White Boa / Engine Area] [The White Boa / Guest Area] [The White Boa / Queen's Room] [The White Boa / Pilothouse] [The White Boa / Cabin (SW)] [The White Boa / Cabin (NW)] [The White Boa / Cabin (NE)] [The White Boa / Cabin (SE)] [The White Boa / Main Deck] =============================================================================== [The White Boa / Brig] As Jansen approach the guard until "Throw" prompt shows up - press A and you're free. Save at SSP and take N exit. [The White Boa / Engine Area] Keep walking until Jansen warns about a security system. Strange robotic eyeballs are eyeballing around, and they can see you as well as hear you if you make a loud noise. Wait until the first eyeball turns around and then make a run for it. In the event Kaim trips over a pipe, which prompts first eyeball to come looking. Continue on until you spot second eyeball. Jansen suggests kicking the can, which is exactly what you should do. While second eyeball is distracted, walk behind its back. You'll come to a lever, which opens a door nearby when operated - get LV2 BLACK MAGIC PARALYZE (08/B32) from the CHEST (NR019). When third eyeball is spotted, Jansen suggests shutting it behind the door - the switch you need to operate is directly to the right of you. Once third eyeball goes into the small tunnel, run for the switch and press it. Operate another switch further on to open up a door which will lead you into a big area. Walk W (according to mini-map), and you'll eventually walk over red-colored floor. If you're running over such floor, an alarm will sound - walk over it by holding down B. Pass the door, carry on S and climb a ladder, then operate the switch to lower another ladder, which takes you down close to the entrance of the brig (you won't have to go the long way around anymore). Return to the door you passed earlier, and go thru. There's a soldier sleeping on duty, go W via sneaking by him quietly (don't run on red floor!), turn N, operate the lever, get SLOT SEED (05/48) from the CHEST (NR020) in nearby corridor), go E, climb the ladder to get on catwalk, follow your nose (don't run...), operate the lever to lower a ladder to your N. Descend that ladder, walk a bit N and operate the button to power up another button next to the door to the W of the sleeping soldier. A bit E of the button you operated you can climb another ladder to another catwalk - operate the lever up there to create another ladder shortcut. Operate the button we powered up and hike W to the elevator. [The White Boa / Guest Area] Walk N for a scene. Your equipment is back, and you will taste another event battle against two Numara Soldiers. Afterwards pry open the CHEST (NR021) to your E for HEALING POTION, another CHEST (NR022) on the bridge in middle of guest area for ANGEL'S PLUME. Now examine the N-most door - Jansen briefly leaves the party. [The White Boa / Queen's Room] As Jansen, walk N for more scenes, then waltz S, and back N around the room to find emergency escape. [The White Boa / Engine Room] Walk N... that lucky Jansen bastard. Ming is hawt. =============================================================================== THE FREE OCEAN STATE OF NUMARA =============================================================================== [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Numara Palace - Philosopher's Chamber] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Numara Palace - Facade] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Numara Palace - Queen's Chamber] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Numara Palace - Corridor Garden] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Numara Palace - Chamber of Flowers] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Numara Palace - Winds Chamber] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Numara Palace - Waves Chamber] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Numara Palace - Songs Chamber] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - White Square] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Thelran's Inn] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Main Street] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Nalia's Item Shop] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Ninn's Boutique] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Artists' Salon] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Canal Street] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Meia Family Art Studio] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Katyla Family House] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Sanuman Family House] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Great Gate Remains] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Port of Numara] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Port of Numara - Shipyard] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Port of Numara - Terminal Building] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Ghost Town - City of Ruins] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Ghost Town - Funeral Beach] [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Ghost Town - Cooke's and Mack's House] =============================================================================== [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Numara Palace - Philosopher's Chamber] Exit S. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Numara Palace - Facade] There's SSP to your left, then probe the pot further W from SPP in corridor for 5x FRONTIER SIDERITE. At the W dead end examine the flowers to obtain KI SEED (24/99), and do the same at E end for KI SEED (25/99). Finally there's 100G in a pot in one of NE corridors, and 5x SUN CRYSTAL in a pot at SE end. Talk to Rona, a girl whose dog Moo has gone missing. Lol, hilarious name. Moo isn't around here (you'll find it in [Main Street]) so exit S. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - White Square] Hug the E wall as soon as you enter, and examine the plant for KI SEED (26/99), probe two pots near NW stand for 10G, AQUA BOMB. Talk to Lonely Chuchu along E edge of the screen, answer "Not really.", then "Sure" to agree to play with her. First is the game of Tag - run after her (don't worry, she doesn't go fast at all), and press A when near to catch her. You'll obtain SLOT SEED (06/48). Near same spot where Chuchu was standing you can examine a plant for KI SEED (27/99). Now enter the inn. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Thelran's Inn] You can rest here, though why pay 150G for it? Probe the pot in the lobby for ANGEL'S PLUME, then examine the glowing plants (I think it's a plant) to left and right of the counter for KI SEED (28/99), KI SEED (29/99), and another plant in SE corner for ANTI-PARALYSIS HERB. Go upstairs, probe four pots for HEALING HERB, 6x WHETSTONE, 100G, 5x WATERFALL CLUSTER, enter SW room, check the plant for KI SEED (30/99), and the closet for GROUND BOMB. NW room yields MINT POWDER from probed pot, and 10G from the closet; NE room gives you 6x GUARDIAN ORE from the closet, and checking the plant spits out 5x STICKY TAPE; finally, SE room gives you MINT POWDER in the closet, and MANA CAPSULE from probed pot. Return outside. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - White Square] Exit E. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Main Street] Keep going W past the cross and you'll bump into Chuchu again.

Also make sure you talk to the girl standing on the gondola, while the door near where Chuchu was leads into [Artists' Salon]. Return to cross, go N, examine the plant for KI SEED (32/33), then Kaim runs into Ignas on the bridge to trigger "THE TALKATIVE MERCENARY" DREAM (09/31). Straight ahead is [Ninn's Boutique], with an alley on its left. In the alley examine two plants for KI SEED (33/99), KI SEED (34/99), and then talk to the dog Moo - it'll go back to Rona on its own (we'll check for reward later). Climb the ladder, walk the catwalk, and descend another ladder to find a CHEST (NR023) with SLOT SEED (07/48). Return to the previous alley, then go W to find another alley (in it you'll see two blue carpets). Examine the plant for KI SEED (35/99), then enter nearby door (note that you can only enter this door if you've agreed to play with Chuchu in hide-and-seek!). [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Nalia's Item Shop] Take N exit. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Main Street] Talk to Cocktis on the gondola twice and he'll get the CHEST (NR024) for you. Open it for LV3 WHITE MAGIC SHINE (09/W32).

He'll bring over another CHEST (NR025) which contains MIMINT EAR (Lucky 0 Magic Damage). [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Artists' Salon] Probe the pot for HEALING HERB, and talk to Hocke. He works at Ninn's, and when he finds out you couldn't get into showroom, you'll receive the password. Now hurry to Ninn's. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Ninn's Boutique] Again try entering the showroom on the E, and when prompted for password, choose "Yes.". First shop at Ninn's and buy some new accessories - ALARM CLOCK (Anti-Sleep), and you can snatch new weapons as well. You'll also meet ringmaker Trace - unlike Ring Assembly, ringmaker takes your existing rings and molds them together into another ring, free of charge! Go back to [Main Street] and exit W. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Canal Street] Take N path, probe the pot for MANA CAPSULE, and enter nearby door. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Meia Family Art Studio] Probe the pot for 5x STICKY TAPE, and glowing plant for MINT POWDER, then talk to Maia.

Enter SE rom and check the drawers for 4x SEED OF TERROR, 10G, probe the pot for HEALING HERB, and finally examine glowing plant in NE room for 3x MYSTERIOUS PERFUME. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Canal Street] There's SSP if you need to use it, cross the bridge to the W. Immediately after crossing you can check the plant along N side for KI SEED (38/99). There's a bunch of kids found on the street as it turns towards N, and they want to put you on a trial - agree to it. You have to find their treasures - red balloon (hidden near sth of the same color), gondola model (next to sth that looks just like it), and doll (loves to go shopping down the road you're on). Take few steps E and notice a faint glow on the ground - examine it to receive KI LARGE BALLOON. Take few steps S and take the stairs which lead you below the bridge - near tent you'll see a faint glow which yields KI MODEL OF GONDOLA. Return to those kids and examine the stand NE from them for "DON'T FORGET ME NOW, YOU HEAR?" DREAM (10/31). Keep walking NW and be on the lookout for faint glow on the ground - pick it up for KI DOLL IN A DRESS. Give the items back to the children to obtain KELOLON EARRING (Anti-Kelolon). Return NW and enter the door near where you picked up the doll. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Katyla Family House] Probe two pots for 4x INSECT INNARDS, HEALING HERB, collect BLINDING POWDER from the table, then check out NW room's drawer for 10G, and closet for 100G.

[The Free Ocean State of Numara / Ghost Town - City of Ruins] Explore around, loot the CHEST (NR026) inside ruined building for 5x SANDMAN'S SEAL, then approach the two kids near some flowers. Event battle against 3x Numara Soldier and 2x Numara Cavalry echoes... Use Flare Bombs to roast them - using items is effective since it essentially means you'll go first. After battle go E to arrive on 'main road', and take next path branching SW to reach a well with pot nearby. Probe it for KELO-VITAMIN. Back on 'main road', walk NW, take path branching N. You'll see another pot near ruins of some house. Get near and probe the pot for 4x HARD SKIN, then back on main road and exit W. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Ghost Town - Funeral Beach] Take W path to reach Cooke's house (with blue door). Near the well is a pot with 2nd Pipot - hold on a little longer to gain 40th Seed. Walk right past Cooke's and probe two pots for KI SEED (40/99), MANA HERB. At the very end you'll find a CHEST (NR027) with SLOT SEED (08/48). Now return to pot with Pipot and hand over those Seeds - for 40 of them you obtain EARTH CHARM (Earth Resistance Up). This Pipot offers a bit more exchange than its buddy in [Construction Base] - for giving it Antidote you'll get ANTI-PARALYSIS HERB, for Eye Drops it hands over SMELLING SALTS, and for Smelling Salts you get ANTIDOTE. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Ghost Town - Cooke's and Mack's House] Probe the pot behind table for 3x EASTERN RED ORE, and approach the two kids in back of the room for some scenes... =============================================================================== MAGIC REPUBLIC OF UHRA =============================================================================== [Magic Republic of Uhra / Uhra - Amphitheater of the Sky] As a surprise chr, walk N for a scene, then approach the visitor to be bumped into event battle against 4x Mud Puppet, and another event battle against someone you already met. Choose Inquire three times, then you can act more freely - use Power Hit twice and you win.

In [Funeral Beach] you can find 4 flowers and 5 branches, and in [City of Ruins you can find 6 flowers and 5 branches. As Cooke, run around and gather all 10 flowers - look for white flowers that stand out and pluck 'em (since Cooke is a small kid, she can get to parts of areas you couldn't reach as Kaim - for now the only such part is a section of [City of Ruins]). When you catch them all, return to Melvi and it's Kaim's turn to gather the branches. With 10 branches in pocket return to Melvi to start the send-off. Mack will be playing a role in light-the-torch minigame. Use left stick to adjust the torch, press Y to raise the torch up, B to move it right, A to lower it, and X to move it left.

[The Free Ocean State of Numara / Ghost Town - City of Ruins] As you walk towards S exit, "EVENING BELL" DREAM (12/31) is obtained. Go thru [Port of Numara], take S exit to [Canal Street], and head for the bridge. Walk along N edge to obtain "PORTRAITIST OF THE DEAD" DREAM (13/31). [The Free Ocean State of Numara / White Square] There's an old geezer Lato with floating cube to be found here. Talk to him to obtain KI CUBIC MUSIC SCORE 1. Agree to play the first music piece, promptly named "FIRST STEPS". The order is CEGC. Arrange your formation with all four party members and it's battle time. Have each party member target the cube in correct order: - 1st turn: C, E, G, and C again. This plays the perfect tune. Reward is LV3 BLACK MAGIC FORCE (09/B32). =============================================================================== CRIMSON FOREST =============================================================================== [Crimson Forest / Maze of Gloom] [Crimson Forest / Near Swamp] [Crimson Forest / Sorcerer's Shrine - Chamber of Stone Tablets] [Crimson Forest / Sorcerer's Shrine - Dungeon Shrine] [Crimson Forest / Sorcerer's Shrine - Altar of the Abyss] =============================================================================== Jansen learn Lv3 Black Magic skill at lv19, which grants you two more spells: LV3 BLACK MAGIC SEAL (10/B32), LV3 BLACK MAGIC STONE (11/B32).

Pick it up for KI TABLET FRAGMENT. Walk W and kick shrooms for KI CRYSTAL FRAGMENT (14/19), then exit W. Cooke learns Lv3 White Magic skill at lv19, which grants you access to LV3 WHITE MAGIC CURE SEAL (11/W32), LV3 WHITE MAGIC COVER (12/W32). [Crimson Forest / Sorcerer's Shrine - Dungeon Shrine] Walk forward to see a scene of the door closing, then take nearby stairs and be ready for some Indiana Jones magic. You'll need to dodge the boulders as you navigate the stairs - if you're hit, you'll be knocked down into the abyss. Retry by trekking it to the elevator which brings you to the base of S stairs. Start climbing, and screen begins shaking indicating that a boulder is coming in your direction. Hold X and step out of boulder's way by darting at the small elevation on side of the stairs.

FIGHT! ------------------- party lv20 Warning - if that specific chr's HP is drained to zero (0), you'll get Game Over, so be on the lookout. You need to attack Tentacle C in order to free that chr, which is your main priority right now. Assault Tentacle C mercilessly - 520 HP is not too much to remove (with Kaim and Seth I advise to toss Bomb items, since physicals aren't as effective). Once Tentacle C is destroyed, specific chr is freed. Now have Kaim and Seth continuously defend, while Jansen and Cooke sling black magic at remaining Tentacles - keep doing so until they're all defeated. It appears you have a problem again - attacking that specific chr yields another Game Over if chr croaks. Try chucking some Sleep magic at the chr... looksie who came out of the woodworks to play. That specific chr will be asleep for one turn, so quickly damage Miasma like this: Kaim and Seth use Bomb items or magic spells, Jansen and Cooke use magic spells. When chr wakes up, use Sleep magic again and bash Miasma down. -------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! --------------------- You'll obtain KI PRECIOUS PETAL. =============================================================================== CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE COMPLETED DISC 1! CONGRATULATIONS! =============================================================================== [Crimson Forest / Sorcerer's Shrine - Altar of the Abyss] FIFTH CHARACTER OBTAINED - MACK Mack starts off as lv15 chr, with following skills: Power Hit, Combo, Wall, Lv1 Spirit Magic, Lv2 Spirit Magic; and he's equipped with Old Battle Discus. Couple of new magic spells have entered your inventory: LV1 SPIRIT MAGIC SHADOW (01/S32), LV1 SPIRIT MAGIC CHIME (02/S32), LV2 SPIRIT MAGIC POWERA (03/S32), LV2 SPIRIT MAGIC MINDA (04/S32). Walk around for a scene in which Seth explains that Mack gained Eastern Tribe powers - those will allow you to power up certain platforms back in Crimson Forest. Go downstairs and hop on the elevator to be taken to [Maze of Gloom]. [Crimson Forest / Maze of Gloom] Mack learns Counter skill at lv16. When you get off the elevator, examine the weird pedestal nearby to absorb its power. Now you can use two elevator platforms [Maze of Gloom], and another two elevator platforms in [Near Swamp]. Platform close to the pedestal whose energy you absorbed leads to two stone pillars - ram them for KI SEED (43/99), and for event battle. The other is on W side of this area, and it takes you to stone pillar. Ram it for DEMON WARRIOR'S BLADE, and DEMON WARRIOR RING. [Crimson Forest / Near Swamp] One platform is on NW side of this area. It leads to stone pillar, which awards you with LV1 SPIRIT MAGIC REFRESH (05/S32) when rammed. The other platform is on dead end path leading W just before N exit from this area. One stone pillar gives up HEALING POTION, the other invites event battle. That's everything you can pick up here for now, we'll return later. Now try to leave the forest - "ELEGY ISLAND" DREAM (14/31) obtained. You can leave for world map afterwards. Make sure you save at this point! =============================================================================== THE FREE OCEAN STATE OF NUMARA =============================================================================== [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - White Square] DO NOT APPROACH THE FOUNTAIN YET! Otherwise events unfold which make you unable to complete certain events we still have left to. Well, you can do them later, but why leave for later what you can obtain now? Go see Lato in White Square and play second music piece - "FOUR BEATS". The order is DAAD. Arrange your formation with four party members and it's battle time. Have each party member target the cube in correct order: - 1st turn: D, A, A, and D again. This plays the perfect tune. Reward is LV1 SPIRIT MAGIC DODGER (06/S32). Now go see Maia in [Canal Street] and fork over all 19 Crystal Fragments to obtain LIFE BROOCH (HP Max Up 1). That's about it for mopping up current quests - go to [White Square] and get near the fountain to get an update on the situation. Afterwards try to leave Numara... [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Numara Palace - Corridor Garden] Mack learns Lv3 Spirit Magic skill at lv19. This grants you use of LV3 SPIRIT MAGIC SPEEDA (07/S32), LV3 SPIRIT MAGIC SLOWER (08/S32). Time to escape from the guards - this is one of rare times when you'll see enemies onscreen. There are two floors to this area, and you begin on lower one. N, 1stcross, E, probe the pot for 3x JUNK PARTS, E, probe another pot for KI SEED (44/99), 2ndcross, S, raid CHEST (NR033) for KI CUBIC MUSIC SCORE 3, N, 2ndcross, N, 3rdcross, probe the pot for 100G, hop on the elevator to reach upper floor. Probe the pot for 100G, 1stcross, S, probe the pot for 3x MYSTERIOUS PERFUME, 2ndcross, S, open the CHEST (NR034) for POWER DRINK, 2ndcross, N, 1stcross, N, probe three pots for SLOT SEED (10/48), MANA CAPSULE, KI SEED (45/99), take the elevator to lower floor. S, 4thcross, E, probe the pot for 6x GENERATOR, W, 4thcross, W, probe two pots for KI SEED (46/99), 6x BLACK PEARL POWDER, 5thcross, S, probe the pot for 2x WHETSTONE, 6thcross, S, nail ADEPT EARRINGS (Lv3 Black-White Magic) from the CHEST (NR035), 6thcross, N, 5thcross, W, probe the pot for 100G, take the elevator to upper floor. Jansen learns Absorb Transfer skill at lv22. Cooke learns Mental Stability 1 skill at lv22. Mack learns Taunt skill at lv22. E, probe the pot for HEALING POTION, 3rdcross, S, probe the pot for KI SEED (47/99), S, 4thcross, E, probe the pot for ANGEL'S PLUME, 5thcross, probe the pot for 3x MAGIC-SEALING FEATHER, S. You'll find SSP and healing point, making this a good area to fight battles to level up and gather SP for learning skills. You're about to enter a boss battle, so let's talk some preps. - Kaim skills: Crisis Attack Boost, Crisis Defense Boost, Lucky 0 Magic Defense - Seth skills: Crisis Attack Boost, Crisis Defense Boost, Lucky 0 Magic Defense - Jansen enhancement: Lucky 0 Magic Defense - Cooke enhancement: Lv2 White-Black Magic - Mack enhancement: Lv3 White-Black Magic Jamming Ring recommended! Or Demon Warrior Ring. Once you're prepared, exit S. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Numara Palace - Facade] Exit S. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - White Square] Keep going S. ------------------------- HERE COME NEW CHALLENGERS! -------------------------- MAGIC HEAVY TANK T: Mechanical E: none --------------------------------- BASE STATS ---------------------------------- HP | SP | GOLD | 1580 | 6 | 1500 | --------------------------------- ITEM SPOILS --------------------------------- STEAL ITEM | DROPPED ITEM Mysterious Perfume | Mysterious Perfume --------------------------------- ATTACK LIST --------------------------------- 01.

Securing Energy 02. Cannon Charge ------------------------------ GET READY! FIGHT! ------------------- party lv23 Another multi-target boss to take care of. Notice the "Cannon Power" and "Tank Power" gauges - "Cannon Power" gauge increases when Cannon unit uses Securing Energy or Cannon Charge moves, while "Tank Power" gauge increases when Tank unit uses Securing Energy or Tank Charge moves. Either gauge also rises when hit with magic attacks. If you allow either to charge fully, you're hit with a rather strong attack so take care not to let it happen too often. Go after Tank Unit first - Kaim and Seth attack it with rephys, while Jansen casts All-Barricade, Mack All-Shield, and Cooke Zephyr (to heal the damage at end of turn). On next turns still have Kaim and Seth attack with rephys, while Jansen switches to offensive magic, and Mack tosses Powera on Kaim, then Seth (alternately, consider using Power Drink); optionally add Minda on Jansen and Cooke. Next onto stupid Cannon Unit, which you'll get rid of pretty much the same way as Tank Unit - now that both are scrap metal, Full Tank Hit and Full Charge Cannon are things of the past. Finish the fight by using Power Hit with Kaim and Seth and blasting the tank with magic spells. -------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! --------------------- [The Free Ocean State of Numara / City of Numara - Great Gate Remains] SIXTH CHARACTER OBTAINED - SUPER SEXY MING! Check her out, man! She's even hotter than Seth. That calls for guide's name change. Yup. She is another "special" chr (like Kaim and Seth), meaning she can learn new skills by equipping accessories or skill-linking with other "non-special" chrs. She comes equipped with Princess Cane and MAGIC RESEARCH REPORT (Lv1 Composite Magic), and has learned following skills: Lv1 Composite Magic, Lv3 Black-White Magic, Anti-Seal; she joins as lv20 hawtness-bombshell. COMPOSITE MAGIC TUTORIAL will spin - in total there are 50 different composite magics to learn once you acquire appropriate base magic spells. Some bad news - you can only have maximum of five chrs in battle party at any time. Now that you have six chrs, that means one will always have to warm the bench, and thus miss out on EXP and SP. Not good, but there are efficient ways to level-grind later in the game. All in due time, though. Exit E to world map, and head for Numara's port. [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Port of Numara] The gate leading to the port is now open, so grab the chance to sneak inside. Go N, and then towards SE to find an opening in the fence... [The Free Ocean State of Numara / Port of Numara - Shipyard] Look, a boat of general Craptastic... let's steal it! You'll be taken to world map. =============================================================================== WORLD MAP =============================================================================== Slantnose is yours to command! SLANTNOSE CONTROL TUTORIAL will spin, then press RB to be taken to ship's pilothouse for an update on situation. =============================================================================== THE SLANTNOSE =============================================================================== [The Slantnose / Pilothouse] [The Slantnose / Deck] =============================================================================== When you're done exploring what little space you have available, check out the controls to leave for world map. =============================================================================== WORLD MAP =============================================================================== Approach Numara for a scene involving Ming, then steer Slantnose towards NW to land on [Numara Atoll]. =============================================================================== NUMARA ATOLL =============================================================================== This is the place where you go to level-grind, though at this moment you may get to chew more than you can handle. Equip Turn-Tail skill and start sniffing around for items, and stuff. CHEST (NR036) on NW part has BRONZE SPIRIT BAND (Lv2 Spirit Magic), and E CHEST (NR037) contains LV2 SPIRIT MAGIC REGENERATE (09/S32). With both items collected return to world map, and cruise E toward another landing point at Gohtza. Upon landing you gain "SETH'S DREAM PART 1" DREAM (15/31), then select [Tosca Village] as next destination. =============================================================================== MOUNTAIN VILLAGE TOSCA =============================================================================== [Mountain Village Tosca / Exterior] [Mountain Village Tosca / Old Man Bosso's House] [Mountain Village Tosca / Deeno Family House] [Mountain Village Tosca / Tolty's Inn] =============================================================================== [Mountain Village Tosca / Exterior] TIP: There are sixteen Kelolon statues in the village. They are involved in a small quest, so memorize their locations or write them down. Use SSP, probe the pot near waterfall for KI SEED (48/99). As you try to cross the bridge, Telt stops you and forks over KI MAGIC-POWERED LOCATOR LV1, accompanied by TREASURE HUNTING TUTORIAL. 1ST TREASURE HINT obtained! It reads - "A treasure lies in the 'highest place' in Tosca." 1ST TREASURE HUNT (01/24) - The hint suggests the lookout tower on SW end - climb it and then examine the ground in front of Kelolon statue for DARK CRYSTAL STAFF, and DARK CRYSTAL RING. Cross the bridge, probe the pot for 500G, and get close to Tibero to obtain "THE HERO" DREAM (16/31), which also gives you treasure hunt info. 21ST TREASURE HINT obtained! It reads - "Hidden somewhere in Tosca Village, a present for Kaim from the children." 21ST TREASURE HUNT (02/24) - The hint suggests heading for the waterfall. Jump over to wooden planks using the stepping stone. Search the ground in front of Kelolon statue for MEDUSA'S HEAD (Anti-Petrify). Return to Tibero and continue exploring - further N probe a pot for HEALING TANK, then climb the ladder near N exit to reach a CHEST (NR038) with 500G. Enter NE house. [Mountain Village Tosca / Old Man Bosso's House] Probe the pot for 4x SEED OF TERROR, and if you climb to upper floor, you'll find 3rd Pipot in the pot. You can give it the Seeds you collected so far, though we still have ways to go for next reward. Back outside, then enter N house. [Mountain Village Tosca / Deeno Family House] Climb to upper floor, open the drawer for FLARA BOMB, probe the pot for KI SEED (49/99). Now leg it for the inn where Jansen is waiting, but before you enter, head E from Jansen's position to talk to Tenio and Chelm in order to unlock "THE BREAD OF GRANDMA COTO" DREAM (17/31). Back to Jansen and agree to rest on his plea. [Mountain Village Tosca / Tolty's Inn] Another SSP, check behind the picture for 2x MAGIC-SEALING FEATHER, open two closets for AQUARA BOMB, KI SEED (50/99), waltz into NW room, open two closets for KI SEED (51/99), CURE-ALL, open the CHEST (NR039) for SLOT SEED (11/48), then before you go downstairs, check picture near Timio for 2x MYSTERIOUS PERFUME. Approach the innkeeper for a scene and plans for getting to Gohtza. The next morning exit your room to find ringmaker Trace, and in W room you'll find a shop. Update your equips by buying new weapons and new accessories: COMBAT TEACHINGS (Counter), STABILIZER (Anti-Dizzy), EASTERN SPIRIT BAND (Lv1 Spirit Magic). Now return to the inn and talk to Tenka (standing near Kelolon statue) to trigger the subquest of paying respects to Kelolons. In under five minutes you have to hunt down all 16 statues and pay respects to them. Sometimes you'll need to wait for person to move outta the way before you can reach the statue. For paying respects to all 16 statues you get: 3x KELOLON HEART, SLOT SEED (12/48), SEAL BLOCKER (Anti-Seal), LV2 SPIRIT MAGIC GAMBLE (10/S32). Now leave the place thru N exit to world map. =============================================================================== WORLD MAP =============================================================================== Choose [Northern Cape]. =============================================================================== NORTHERN CAPE =============================================================================== At 1stcross go N, keep an eye out for a CHEST (NR040) with LION HEART (Anti-Terror), go to end of the cape for a scene, back to 1stcross, E, look out for faint glint and pick it up for CUBIC MUSIC SCORE 4, go to end of path for a scene, exit to world map, and choose [Numara Atoll]. =============================================================================== NUMARA ATOLL =============================================================================== We're gonna do some level-grinding, as you now have all the stuff you need, and that was Gamble magic. On [Numara Atoll] you'll find two enemies, Hell Shaker and Silver Kelolon. Former has 9120 HP and isn't worth trouble fighting, so just use Turn-Tail skill and flee (if you opt to defeat it, you'll get 2 SP and 100G for your troubles). Silver Kelolon, on the other hand, has 980 HP, but is incredibly hard to hit and is very resistant to magic attacks. Gamble magic will take care of that resistance. Note that Silver Kelolon likes to flee - when defeated, you'll get 8 SP per foe, and 600G. Also, have Kaim and Seth use Casting Support on your Gamble casters to speed up their turn in shooting Gamble. For starters I suggest including Jansen in your party so that he reaches lv31 as soon as possible. On that level he learns a skill 2 Accessories, which allows your "special" characters to equip 2 accessories at once, thus doubling the speed at which they learn new skills. Mack learns Lv4 Spirit Magic skill at lv25, giving access to two more spells: LV4 SPIRIT MAGIC SHADOWA (11/S32), LV4 SPIRIT MAGIC FEAR (12/S32). Cooke learns Lv4 White Magic skill at lv25, giving access to two more spells: LV4 WHITE MAGIC HEALA (13/W32), LV4 WHITE MAGIC CURE PETRIFY (14/W32). Jansen learns Lv4 Black Magic skill at lv25, giving access to two more spells: LV4 BLACK MAGIC FLARA (13/B32), LV4 BLACK MAGIC WINDA (14/B32). Mack learns Lv5 Spirit Magic skill at lv28, giving access to two more spells: LV5 SPIRIT MAGIC POWERUS (13/S32), LV5 SPIRIT MAGIC MINDUS (14/S32). Cooke learns Lv5 White Magic skill at lv28, giving access to two more spells: LV5 WHITE MAGIC ZEPHYRA (15/W32), LV5 WHITE MAGIC CURE-ALL (16/W32). Jansen learns Lv5 Black Magic skill at lv28, giving access to two more spells: LV5 BLACK MAGIC FLARE MINE (15/B32), LV5 BLACK MAGIC PRISMA (16/B32). Mack learns Spell Counter skill at lv31. Cooke learns Reduce Casting Time 1 skill at lv31. Jansen learns 2 Accessories skill at lv31. Mack learns Lv6 Spirit Magic skill at lv34, giving access to two more spells: LV6 SPIRIT MAGIC FASTER (15/S32), LV6 SPIRIT MAGIC DELAY (16/S32). Cooke learns Lv6 White Magic skill at lv34, giving access to two more spells: LV6 WHITE MAGIC REVIVE (17/W32), LV6 WHITE MAGIC COVERA (18/W32). Jansen learns Lv6 Black Magic skill at lv34, giving access to two more spells: LV6 BLACK MAGIC WIND MINE (17/B32), LV6 BLACK MAGIC JAMMING (18/B32). Mack learns Walla skill at lv37. Cooke learns White Staff skill at lv37. Jansen learns Black Staff skill at lv37. Mack learns Stand Firm skill at lv40. Cooke learns MP Convert skill at lv40. Jansen learns Drain Shower skill at lv40. Mack learns Lv7 Spirit Magic skill at lv43, giving access to two more spells: LV7 SPIRIT MAGIC SHADOWUS (17/S32), LV7 SPIRIT MAGIC RANDOM (18/S32). Cooke learns Lv7 White Magic skill at lv43, giving access to two more spells: LV7 WHITE MAGIC HEALUS (19/W32), LV7 WHITE MAGIC HEAL UP (20/W32). Jansen learns Lv7 Black Magic skill at lv43, giving access to two more spells: LV7 BLACK MAGIC FLARUS (19/B32), LV7 BLACK MAGIC WINDUS (20/B32). Mack learns 3 Combo skill at lv46. Cooke learns Reduce Casting Time 2 skill at lv46. Mack learns Lv8 Spirit Magic skill at lv49 (unlike previous skills, no new spells are awarded - you have to find all four of them). Cooke learns Lv8 White Magic skill at lv49 (unlike previous skills, no new spells are awarded - you have to find all four of them). Jansen learns Lv8 Black Magic skill at lv49 (unlike previous skills, no new spells are awarded - you have to find all four of them). Mack learns Wallus skill at lv52. Cooke learns Mental Stability 2 at lv52. Jansen learns Double-Cast skill at lv52. By killing Silver Kelolons you'll also keep getting Rainbow Coral and Glacial Ice items, which can be used to craft Flux Ring and Ocean Ring. Once you craft at least one unit of Flux Ring, Ringmaster Trace will offer lv2 rings; and once you craft at least one unit of Ocean Ring, Ringmaster Trace will offer lv3 rings. You don't necessarily have to craft the two rings I mention, it's just that they were readily available, so why not use the chance to get them? I used around 4 gameplay hours to reach lv50 with all six chrs. When you're done, go to world map and choose [Old Sorceress' Mansion]. =============================================================================== OLD SORCERESS' MANSION =============================================================================== [Old Sorceress' Mansion / Exterior] Nail W CHEST (NR041) for SOUL MEDICINE, then enter the mansion. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / Entrance Hall] A ghost will go thru W door, but before following consider saving your game. Pick up faint glint along E side for KI POEM FRAGMENT A (the clue says: "Thus all that lives does flow, thus do they fade away.", and continue by opening the CHEST (NR042) on NW stairs for CURE-ALL. There's SSP for using, exit N. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / Courtyard] Jansen notices an odd circular pattern on the floor. You'll need to find few items before we can tinker with this puzzle. Circle around the room and walk to both dead ends inside the bush formation to nab two CHESTs (NR043, NR044) with KI BOW PLATE, CURE-ALL. Exit S. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / Entrance Hall] Exit W. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / Hallway (left side)] The ghost will go thru the mirror - if you try to go thru, you won't succeed... need to find the missing part first. Pick up faint glint on the desk for KI POEM FRAGMENT B (the clue says: "Warmth brings no solace."). Walk into the hall and open three W doors for event battles - when you bust up monster party which comes from middle of the three W doors, pick up KI LARGE MIRROR JEWEL (appears as faint glint on ground). Return to the large mirror and it's time travel for you. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / The Past within the Mirror - Hallway (left side)] Grab the statue and push it E as far as it goes, then walk N thru hallway and step into the mirror. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / The Past within the Mirror - Hallway (right side)] Walk S, probe two pots for MANA CAPSULE, WINDA BOMB, then unlock W door to gain another entrance to [Past within the Mirror - Entrance]. Take the mirror to be taken back to present. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / Hallway (right side)] Open CHEST (NR045) for 4x BLACK PEARL POWDER, then walk to the end of the corridor to pick up faint glint for KI POEM FRAGMENT C (the clue says: "Nestled within the sadness.". Walk back S (notice the screaming person in the mirror), exit W into [Entrance Hall] and again take W exit. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / Hallway (left side)] Because we moved the statue in the past, you can now collect the CHEST (NR046) and rob it for KI CELESTIAL PLATE. Take the mirror back to the past. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / The Past within the Mirror - Hallway (left side)] Exit E. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / The Past within the Mirror - Entrance] Go upstairs, then take a good look at wall clock. It contains four circles (N has a picture of a bow, E has a picture of a vase, S has a picture of a wheat, and W has a picture of a celestial sphere). CHEST (NR047) behind you has GROUNDA BOMB, then examine the clock and make the hand point to the pot. You'll obtain RED-COPPER BAND (Lv3 Spirit Magic) and both side doors now become unlocked. Enter left door. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / The Past within the Mirror - Upstairs (left room)] Approach the bed for a scene, then collect KI WHEAT PLATE from the CHEST (NR048). Go the the right room now. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / The Past within the Mirror - Upstairs (right room)] Approach the table for a scene, then collect SOUL MEDICINE from the CHEST (NR049). Use the mirror in [The Past within the Mirror - Hallway (right side)] to return to the present and leg it for [Courtyard]. [Old Sorceress' Mansion / Courtyard] OK, let's tinker with the ground pattern. The plate that is already here is the one depicting a pot. Now, in conclusion with the clock's arrangement - put Wheat Plate in E depression, Celestial Plate in S depression, and Bow Plate in W depression. Path deeper opens thru the well - before you descend, pick up the faint glow to left of the well for KI POEM FRAGMENT D (the clue says: "I will be back."). [Old Sorceress' Mansion / Old Sorceress' Hermitage] Examine stone tablet for these clues: "I am one in search of solitude. Why have you invaded my hermitage? If you have nothing to ask, then you should leave immediately. Though you may see my door with your eyes, my quest for solitude ensures it will remain untouched. However, if you still insist on meeting me, you will find the key at your feet. Follow the symbols of light and proceed with order." On the ground behind you is a ground pattern, similar to the one in [Courtyard]. Celestial sign will light up - counting from left to right, there are four mirrors along N side of this room. Begin by taking second one to access NW room - here step on celestial sign to complete step 1 (out of four). Return thru same mirror and check the ground pattern near stone tablet - wheat sign is now glowing. Take the fourth mirror to SE room and step on wheat sign to complete step 2 (out of four). Return thru same mirror and check the ground pattern near stone tablet - bow sign is now glowing. Take the third mirror to NE room, then sniff along W wall to find a lever. Pull it to have a stone pillar rise and cover the gap in another part of the room (we'll make use of it later). Step on bow plate to complete step 3 (out of four). Return thru same mirror and check the ground pattern near stone tablet - pot sign is now glowing. Take the first mirror to SW room and step on pot sign to complete step 4 (final one!). Doing this shatters the stone tablet in central room. Return thru the same mirror... there's some goodies left to collect. Take second mirror to NW room, take the other mirror to warp to NE room, keep going S and open CHEST (NR050) for GODDESS MEDICINE, take the other mirror to SW room, open CHEST (NR051) for LV3 SPIRIT MAGIC LOST (19/S32). Return to the central room - I advise you backtrack to [Entrance Hall] and save your game, cos you have a boss coming up. You're about to enter non-difficult boss battle, so let's talk some preps. The stuff you need is Gamble magic, and Magic Ring. Return to [Hermitage] and advance N for a scene, then a boss battle ensues. ------------------------- HERE COME NEW CHALLENGERS! -------------------------- BODY OF THOUGHT A T: Magic E: earth --------------------------------- BASE STATS ---------------------------------- HP | SP | GOLD | 1550 | 0 | 0 | --------------------------------- ITEM SPOILS --------------------------------- STEAL ITEM | DROPPED ITEM none | none --------------------------------- ATTACK LIST --------------------------------- 01.

Scream ------------------------------ GET READY! FIGHT! ------------------- party lv27 Would you stop with fights where somebody needs to be protected? I want to have fun with my girls, and don't want to be bothered by some old geezers. Bodies of Thought will not attack you - instead they use their attacks against the target you need to protect before her 1100 HP is down for the count. Reducing Body's HP lessens the amount of damage it inflicts to Sorceress, therefore I suggest that you begin by magically attacking each Body once in the first turn. Note that Bodies have elemental counters enabled, so sticking to rephys isn't recommended. Sorceress will use Scream every so often - all it does is change element property of all Bodies... nothing serious, just chuck corresponding spell at it (remember fire-water-earth-wind-fire connection?), or use Gamble. -------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! --------------------- SIXTH CHARACTER OBTAINED - SARAH She is final "special" chr (like Kaim, Seth, and Ming), meaning she can learn new skills by equipping accessories or skill-linking with other "non-special" chrs. Skills she already knows are Lv4 Black-White Magic, Relax and Anti-Petrify. She comes equipped with Crescent Rod and joins as lv25 hawtness-material. Hm, if I were in Kaim's shoes, I'd go with Ming. Return to world map and leave for Tosca. =============================================================================== MOUNTAIN VILLAGE TOSCA =============================================================================== Enter [Deeno Family House] and talk to Deeno for a treasure hint. 3RD TREASURE HINT obtained! It reads - "An object charged with magic energy lies in the great monster meeting hall in the Black Cave." Enter [Tolty's Inn], go upstairs and approach Tureo and Hodgeo in order to obtain "SO LONG, FRIEND" DREAM (18/31) (you'll also get treasure hint), then talk to Tolty for another tresure hint. 22ND TREASURE HINT obtained! It reads - "A treasure that Lirum held dear is hidden somewhere in the cliff of the North Cape." 2ND TREASURE HINT obtained! It reads - "A bird hid something near the front door of the old sorceress' mansion." We're done here, leave for [Northern Cape]. =============================================================================== NORTHERN CAPE =============================================================================== 22ND TREASURE HUNT (03/24) - The hint suggests some spot somewhere on the cape. Go N, and N again at first cross. Advance to the end of the cape for a scene, then when you go back S, slowly sniff along W edge until a prompt for "Examine" pipes up. Collecting it gives you LV3 SPIRIT MAGIC AILMENT VOID (20/S32). Leave for world map and go to [Old Sorceress' Mansion]. =============================================================================== OLD SORCERESS' MANSION =============================================================================== 2ND TREASURE HUNT (04/24) - The hint suggests that treasure is hidden somewhere in [Exterior]. Walk N, then turn W to the dead end with a chest we already looted. Search the greenery behind it for LV4 SPIRIT MAGIC VIRUS (21/S32). If you want, hoppalongcassidy to [Numara Atoll] and gain few levels for Sarah and Mack - lv30 is recommended for the long run. Leave for world map and select [Black Cave]. =============================================================================== THE BLACK CAVE =============================================================================== [The Black Cave / Maze of Darkness] [The Black Cave / Foul Swamp] [The Black Cave / The Great Hall of Foul Creatures] [The Black Cave / Helltrap] =============================================================================== [The Black Cave / Maze of Darkness] Save at SSP, have Sarah open the door, N, 1stcross, N, win the event battle, 2ndcross, N, 3rdcross, NE, 4thcross, NE, open CHEST (NR052) for STONE BEAST'S THORN, back to 3rdcross, W, 5thcross, S, force your way past strong wind current, pick up faint glint for GODDESS MEDICINE, back to 5thcross, N, obtain "THE TRAGEDY OF THE BUTCHER GENERAL" DREAM (19/31), carry on, jump over the gap, 6thcross, S, open CHEST (NR053) for 3x GIANT FEELER, back to 6thcross, E, 7thcross, S, jump the gap, open CHEST (NR054) for KI SEED (52/99), back to 7thcross, N, exit to next area. [The Black Cave / Foul Swamp] Go N and Kaim will pick up a firefly - this creature briefly illuminates the surrounding area, but there are things that cause a firefly to leave you. Don't loiter in green goo for too long, or you'll take damage. Check out one of W-most dead ends of the area to collect faint glint for 500G, then nail CHEST (NR055) on E side for POWER DRINK. You can see another chest in these parts, but you can't collect its contents from where you are. You need to make a parachute drop to it. Exit N. [The Black Cave / The Great Hall of Foul Creatures] Follow your nose, at cross take S path, and nail SCROLL OF DISSECTION (Cut Down) from CHEST (NR056), return to cross, exit E. [The Black Cave / Helltrap] Watch your step! If you don't, you'll fall thru holes in the ground back to [Foul Swamp] and will need to retrace your steps. Firefly is welcome to have around, because if you get close to a hole in the ground, it'll be revealed. I don't recommend running in this area - take it slow and you'll get to the other end. Follow the path, 1stcross, E, nab LV4 SPIRIT MAGIC REFRESHA (22/S32) from CHEST (NR057). May want to get another firefly, since you were forced to lose previous one as we crossed wind current. Anyway... 1stcross, S, you'll enter a wide-open area. Make sure you have a firefly on your shoulder and carefully tread the floor until you find three holes close together. Before we deal with them, carry on SW from your position and exit to [Foul Swamp]. [The Black Cave / Foul Swamp] Keep going until you hit a pile of rocks - ram them to create a shortcut between [Foul Swamp] and [Helltrap]. Back to [Helltrap]. [The Black Cave / Helltrap] Find those three holes again - from your point of view (as a player viewing the screen), jump into the upper left hole. [The Black Cave / Foul Swamp] You'll land near CHEST (NR058) with SOUL MEDICINE inside. Get down and use the shortcut to return to [Helltrap]. [The Black Cave / Helltrap] Back to three holes, S, 2ndcross, E, collect faint glint at dead end for BLINDING POWDER, back to 2ndcross, S, nail CHEST (NR059) for KI SEED (53/99), save at SSP, exit to next area. [The Black Cave / The Great Hall of Foul Creatures] 1stcross, nail faint glint for CURE-ALL, S... 3RD TREASURE HUNT (05/24) - The hint suggests that treasure is hidden somewhere in the lair of the beasts, and this is it. Walk S, until "Examine" prompt pipes up. Check it out to collect CURSE BLOCKER (Anti-Curse) - make sure all "special chrs" learn it ASAP. Back to 1stcross, NE, keep walking and then ram the cylinder to have lights go out. Equip Wind Rings, and begin hunting for Rough Eaters. Kill off three groups before commencing another boss battle. A new enemy will enter the dudes rampaging around - you can easily distinguish it by its red eyes. Engaging a victorious battle with it means getting out of [Black Cave]. Bio Ring / Wind Ring accessories are recommended. For skills you *need* Anti-Petrify (trust me on this), and Anti-Curse. ------------------------- HERE COME NEW CHALLENGERS! -------------------------- ROUGH SERVANT x4 T: Organic E: earth --------------------------------- BASE STATS ---------------------------------- HP | SP | GOLD | 1360 | 1 | 160 | --------------------------------- ITEM SPOILS --------------------------------- STEAL ITEM | DROPPED ITEM none | Sharp Beak --------------------------------- ATTACK LIST --------------------------------- 01.

Pheromone 02. Rephy 03. Cry 04. Flee ------------------------------ GET READY! FIGHT! ------------------- party lv30 This is a fun battle against five enemies. Take note of Queen and its abilities - when it uses Pheromone on one of Servants, that dude's abilities increase and it gains access to powerful attack Rush. When that happens, it's in your best interest to take out powered-up bastid. As a trade-off, other Servants won't attack you, but their ally instead. Don't count on too much damage from those attacks - around 10 dmg or so. So yeah, it sucks. Queen's rephy has a chance to petrify you, while Servant's rephy carries curse ailment. Both can wreck you up majorly, so you better be protected and / or heal appropriately. All enemies are weak to wind, so Wind and company will go a long way in dealing damage; use Mack and his Wall skill to rebuff your GC. When there's 1~2 Servant/s remaining, Queen uses Cry to call reinforcements. To remove enemies' GC, you need to slay original four Servants that entered the battle - fortunately new ones don't recover GC as they enter battle. If you'd like to quickly eliminate Queen, use Gamble against it - its damage isn't affected by GC. Here's your chance to obtain an extra Slot Seed (unfortunately you can't gather a Mingload of them) - make sure to steal Slot Seed from the Queen and then reduce its HP to critical levels so it runs away on next turn. Track it down again for a rematch. Fight starts again with Queen and four Servants at its side, however Queen's HP isn't recovered, which is a good thing. Battle ends once all foes are eliminated. -------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! --------------------- Goodies! SLOT SEED (13/48), SLOT SEED (1st EXTRA) obtained. Exit N to world map, and depart for City of Saman. =============================================================================== SMERCHANT'S TOWN SAMAN =============================================================================== [Saman / Main Street] [Saman / Erlio Family House] [Saman / Kersen's Inn] [Saman / Emelo's Tavern] [Saman / House of Riordan the Merchant] [Saman / Audun's Item Shop] [Saman / Port of Saman] [Saman / Oreego's Emporium] =============================================================================== [Saman / Main Street] Save at SSP, then enter first W door. [Saman / Erlio Family House] Probe two pots for KI SEED (54/99), ANTIDOTE, open closet for 500G. And there's 4th Pipot in the pot - give it all Seeds you have so far, which is 54. Next reward coming soon! ...hmm, Pipot bastard doesn't have any new trades. Back to [Main Street] and enter first E door. [Saman / Kersen's Inn] On lower floor enter the E room, probe pot for KI SEED (55/99), then go upstairs. Open closet for 6x GENERATOR, enter W room, probe pot for 5x STICKY TAPE, enter E room, probe pot for KI SEED (56/99). Back to [Main Street] and enter second W door. [Saman / Emelo's Tavern] Probe the pot in back for KI SEED (57/99). Back to [Main Street]. [Saman / Main Street] Check out Dandy the Crow's stand near the huge tree. After paying 50G, you may obtain one of the following: Mana Herb, Soul Medicine, Healing Medicine, Cure-All, or the best thing of them all - AWAKENING BRACELET (Slot +3). Probe the pot next to stand for PIXIE FLOWER (Magic Defense Boost 1). Continue W and probe the pot near next stand for KI SEED (58/99), probe the pot between two N doors for KI SEED (59/99), then enter the right of two N doors. [Saman / House of Riordan the Merchant] Riordan appears to be under a spell. Probe pots for SLOT SEED (14/48), 3x WHETSTONE, then examine the small compartment behind Riordan (it's giving off faint glow) to obtain KI SECRET LODGER. Check out the closet for 1000G. Back to [Main Street] and enter the other N door. [Saman / Audun's Item Shop] Probe pot for KI SEED (60/99), and talk to Zavlo nearby in order to obtain "THE STORY OF OLD MAN GREO" DREAM (20/31). Talk to Oreego and buy new weapons and accessories: SWORD TEACHINGS (Weapon Guard), SORCERER EARRINGS (Lv4 Black-White Magic), MAGIC TRIAL RECORD (Lv2 Composite Magic), GOLD SPIRIT BAND (Lv4 Spirit Magic). Audun offers an upgrade in healing items - you can now buy Healing Tanks. Go see that pot Pipot. [Saman / Erlio Family House] Hand over remaining Seeds you found to score POWER BANGLE (Attack Boost). Now try to enter the port by taking W exit in town - Davle will stop you and request that you help him look for the captain Dozel. Apparently the captain has stomach problems and as such he had to go somewhere to do that stuff... there's a loo in Kersen's. [Saman / Kersen's Inn] Talk to Shivie in SE corner to trigger a scene. Dozel shows up and leaves for the port, which is where you're going as well. [Saman / Port of Saman] Probe three pots for 3x BEAST HIDE RASP, 4x PENDULUM, 500G. Approach the group of people, then choose to board the ship. ------------------------- HERE COME NEW CHALLENGERS! -------------------------- MANTA x3 T: Organic E: water --------------------------------- BASE STATS ---------------------------------- HP | SP | GOLD | 620 | ? | ??? | --------------------------------- ITEM SPOILS --------------------------------- STEAL ITEM | DROPPED ITEM none | Beast Hide Rasp --------------------------------- ATTACK LIST --------------------------------- 01.

FIGHT! ------------------- party lv32 Equip Anti-Paralysis skill for easier survival against these foes. All of them are of organic type and weak to earth attacks, so equip Bio Ring and Earth Ring to increase your damage output. In order to win the battle, Mantalas must be killed. That or endure the battle until Mantalas decides to flee from battle. This is a pretty straightforward fight with enemies that don't use too much of magic attacks, not counting paralysis annoyance from their rephys. It's advisable to cripple Mantas to very low GC, or use Gamble against Mantalas; remember, Gamble's damage isn't reduced by GC. Whenever you deal any type of damage to Mantalas, it uses Bizarre Howl to call in Manta reinforcements (in case you killed any), and then disappears from battle until you kill fresh seafood. Once Mantalas returns, ready your strongest earth-based move (be it magical or physical) and continue the exercise until Mantalas is KOed or flees. -------------------- CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE VICTORIOUS! --------------------- "SETH'S DREAM PART 2" DREAM (21/31) is unlocked. You'll arrive at your destination once Seth wakes up. =============================================================================== EXPERIMENTAL STAFF =============================================================================== [Experimental Staff / Samanese Merchant Ship] [Experimental Staff / E. S. Marine Division] [Experimental Staff / E. S. Power Division] [Experimental Staff / E. S. Operation Division] [Experimental Staff / E. S. Upper Division] [Experimental Staff / E. S. Outer Division] [Experimental Staff / Glass Chamber] =============================================================================== [Experimental Staff / E. S. Marine Division] You'll gain control at the ship docked near Experimental Staff, so head back inside the ship. [Experimental Staff / Samanese Merchant Ship] =============================================================================== WARNING! MISSABLE THING/S COMING UP! WARNING! =============================================================================== There's SSP, then check the closet for KI SEED (61/99), Damiroh (hey, that's me!) offers shopping opportunities, and there's Ringmaker Trace as well. You can buy magic spells from Damiroh: LV5 WHITE MAGIC SHIELDUS (23/W32), LV5 WHITE MAGIC BARRICADUS (24/W32). If you miss buying these two spells now, they're gone forever!!! When you're souped up, head outside. [Experimental Staff / E. S. Marine Division] Start walking towards E. S., at 1stcross take SE path to reach CHEST (NR060) with SLOT SEED (15/48), back to 1stcross, NW, 2ndcross, SE, open CHEST (NR061) for 6x GENERATOR, back to 2ndcross, NW, enter the structure. [Experimental Staff / E. S. Power Division] Equip Steal skill, and when you're fighting an Uhran Guardsman, make sure to steal his Gate Pass to amass few KI GATE PASS (yes, you need quite a few). N, 1stcross, E, see a scene with your mortal enemy, 2ndcross, N, open CHEST (NR062) for CURE-ALL, exit W. [Experimental Staff / E. S. Operation Division] Go forward for a scene, ascend the stairs and approach the green button for another scene. Pressing this button does nothing significant, so carry on W. You'll soon get to a sliding platform, which is operated by a button on it. Press it to be taken to middle of the area - immediately E operate the green button to reach CHEST (NR063) with LV5 BLACK MAGIC AQUA MINE (23/B32). Use the same platform to return back across, then walk all the way NW. Descend the ladder to short catwalk with CHEST (NR064) that has 4x PENDULUM. Climb back up, operate nearby green button, walk over raised crate, try to operate the terminal. For these terminals you'll be needing Gate Passes, which I advised you to steal from Uhran Guardsmans. You need single Gate Pass to unlock this terminal granting you access to an elevator - don't use it just yet. Walk around to SW end of this area to find another terminal - using single Gate Pass gives you a chance at CHEST (NR065) witH KNIGHT EARRINGS (Defense Boost 1). Close to your position are some stairs leading down to a lowered platform with something on it - operate the nearby green button to raise the platform, then raid CHEST (NR066) for 3x BUG'S STOMACH. Take the elevator on W side of the area (the one you needed to use Gate Pass for). [Experimental Staff / E. S. Upper Division] Go N from elevator, take the ladder down for CHEST (NR067) with 5x GUTSY CLOTH, climb back up using same ladder, S, press green button to raise a crate, use single Gate Pass on the terminal to access a dead end with CHEST (NR068) that contains WHITE LOTUS, LOTUS RING inside. Go E for a scene, cross, E... now it's playing the crate-platform-crate minigame. Operate the green button to raise the crate, then hop on sliding platform and ride it right. Press green button to lower same crate down, then hop on sliding platform to ride it left - but since crate is in the way, it'll stop next to catwalk on the right you can't reach otherwise. Waltz along catwalk, ride another sliding platform, then descend the ladder to reach CHEST (NR069) with 4x BEAST HIDE RASP. Return to the crate&platform stuff we were messing before and repeat the game - ride sliding platform to the right, raise the crate, ride sliding platform to the left, lower the crate, ride sliding platform to the right, but now it bumps into the crate. Platform'll stop next to catwalk on the left you can't reach otherwise. Waltz over catwalks and sliding platforms until you get to green button which will lower a crate - again return to the crate&platform stuff we were messing before and repeat the game one final time. Ride sliding platform to the left, raise the crate, ride sliding platform to the right, lower the crate, ride sliding platform to the left, but now it bumps into the crate. Platform'll stop next to catwalk on the right you can't reach otherwise. Take the path you already took, but the exception will be - when you ride the sliding platform, it'll bump into the crate you lowered, thus letting you access SE portion of the area. Here you can ride the elevator back down. [Experimental Staff / E. S. Operation Division] Walk W and use single Gate Pass on the terminal to create a shortcut. That's it for the area, return to [Upper Division]. [Experimental Staff / E. S. Upper Division] Walk W, operate green button to raise a crate (shortcut created), then use single Gate Pass on the terminal, and exit to [Outer Division]. [Experimental Staff / E. S. Outer Division] Take the gate to the W. [Experimental Staff / E. S. Upper Division] Go downstairs to CHEST (NR070) with FIRE CHARM (Fire Resistance Up). Return outside. [Experimental Staff / E. S. Outer Division] Take the winding stairs up until you run into SSP and CHEST (NR071) with 4x PARAWEED NEEDLE. There's a small quest with technicians involved, and you need to do some backtracking. Return downstairs and take the door back into [Upper Division]. [Experimental Staff / E. S. Upper Division] Take the elevator down to [Operation Division]. [Experimental Staff / E. S. Operation Division] Take SE exit. [Experimental Staff / E. S. Outer Division] Descend a ladder, cross the bridge to the left, ascend a ladder, talk to Yarlon, descend a ladder, cross the bridge to the right, descend a ladder, grab the crate and push it off so it falls down, operate the green switch to lower the bridge, step on bridge and grab the crate across. Now pull it to the right as far as you can, let go of it, operate the switch to raise the bridge, grab the crate and push it off, operate the switch to lower the bridge. You can now talk to Morenis, who wants to see you deliver same message to another guy. Return to the top of E. S. by retracing your steps until you reach SSP. Take the final stairs up, and notice the ladder in the floor - take it down. Press the glowing button to raise a bridge, then cross it to find Yask. Your reward is 11x BEAT STONE. You ready for the showdown? Enter the big door on the top.

CONGRATULATIONS! =============================================================================== =============================================================================== MERCHANT'S TOWN SAMAN =============================================================================== [Saman / Port of Saman] Now you can enter the final building we couldn't get into before. [Saman / Oreego's Emporium] Inside you'll find Oreego's shop, Ringmaker Trace, and an auction house. Probe three pots for 3x RAGING BEAST'S EYE, LV5 SPIRIT MAGIC REGENERA (23/S32), BIND HEALER. If you talk to Zole the auctioneer and get the message "Sorry, but could you come back later? We're kinda out of stuff to sell right now." - that means you have collected every single item from one-time-only dungeons (like Experimental Staff). If you missed collecting an item from a spot you can always access, then such item will NOT be for sale. Be vary of the difference. Go outside and enter [Main Street]. [Saman / Main Street] Talk to Zeckte in front of Riordan's, then give him Secret Ledger and enter Riordan's. [Saman / House of Riordan the Merchant] Inside talk to Zeckte to receive SOLID SPARTAN and SPARTAN RING. Go back outside and try to leave Saman via S exit. It's time to take the rest of the day off. [Saman / Kersen's Inn] After the scene leave thru the door and choose "Yes." to move the story along, then exit to [Main Street] the next day. [Saman / Main Street] Run to the candy shop vendor near the giant tree to talk to Shukte and you'll obtain "BRIGHT RAIN" DREAM (22/31). Walk W to run into group of people in front of Riordan's - two people are accusing Talio of stealing some money. Talk to Talio and at prompt choose "Not at all." to see a scene where he asks you to help him prove his innocence. Talio saw a crow fly out of the store with a bag and land in some tree. *Without leaving* the area walk back to candy store and look for faint glint - pick it up to find the stolen money. You'll get GENERAL'S PEN (Freeform). Leave the area and come back to talk to Talio again for treasure hunt info. 4TH TREASURE HINT obtained! It reads - "A smuggling-ship crewman hid something in front of the water banks at Saman Port." 4TH TREASURE HUNT (06/24) - The hint suggests that treasure is hidden somewhere in Saman's port.

It reads - "Ancient Eastern Tribe jewelry is buried in the Great Ancient Ruins." Finaly check out Emelo's and talk to Zamilo for treasure hunt info. 5TH TREASURE HINT obtained! It reads - "The monster king of the Ice Canyon hid something within the ice." Leave for world map - you've got two choices now. Either go to [Numara Atoll] and SP-grind to have "special" chrs learn new skills from accessories you obtained or travel to next destination - [Ice Canyon]. =============================================================================== ICE CANYON =============================================================================== TIP: In this place you'll fight Elmons. They can steal items, weapons and accessories from you, and then run away with it if you don't manage to kill them before they swipe something. You can get the items back in a specific way, so don't worry if something important gets stolen - but you don't want to let too many items get stolen, otherwise it'll be bad news for you. [Ice Canyon / Glacier Fang] There's SSP, exit NW. [Ice Canyon / Ice Gorge] Go N, at 1stcross take W path and walk across two bridges to reach CHEST (NR074) with KI SEED (62/99). Now careful - cross the bridge W of the chest you just opened, at other side go N and slide down to the ledge below. You'll see a path leading N to three Elmons - one of them is Elmon King, who accuses you of stealing Elmon Crown. Drop back down onto the central path. 5TH TREASURE HUNT (07/24) - The hint suggests that treasure is hidden somewhere in Ice Valley. Walk to the N end and observe the shape trapped in ice - it resembles a monster. Search near its feet to obtain WATER CHARM (Water Resistance Up). Exit N. [Ice Canyon / Blizzard Peak] W, open CHEST (NR075) for BLAZING RUBY, 1stcross, NW path, 2ndcross, E path - carefully time your passage by three wind currents, then after passing third current drop off down the slope to reach a ledge with CHEST (NR076) with KI SEED (63/99).

Reach 3rdcross, NW path, walk behind the cave's wall to reach that penguin who'll jump off the ledge. Raid CHEST (NR079) for WARM VEST (Anti-Freeze). Now hurry back towards 1stcross and catch up to the penguin - examine it to obtain AMULET (Absorb Attack). If Elmons have managed to steal at least one item from you, you can now enter event battle against Elmon Leader back in [Ice Gorge].
