It will be much faster and easier if you search on the topic you wish to know about (press ctrl-F and type in your topic). Keep pressing "find next" until your topic is not found anymore. There is tons of information on a ton of topics in several sections throughout the whole guide. You can also use the Table of Contents to help you in searching. Everything in this guide has been tested and verified in-game to be accurate for the US version of this game. This was a challenging guide to write because everything in the game is so variant but that is one of the main reasons I love this game! E10+ RATING: - This game is rated E10+ (Fantasy Violence, Mild Language) - However, this is not a child’s game - There are complex aspects in this game above child level - The rating does not suggest an age level but merely an appropriateness level pertaining to certain game material - This game does say the D word in pockets throughout the game (Example: Rempo the fire spirit says it several times in the beginning storyline – can be muted – words still on the screen). Most of the game has minimal swearing. - Plus, one mini-game is excessive (Romaioni - gambling simulation - just wooden boxes and you guess who is behind boxes) which can be muted as it is played. You can get enough money in the game without even playing the gambling simulation so I suggest you skip this entirely. - Thankfully, there is no blood in the game. - There are some stereotypes portrayed that are offensive (Example: Character with an afro is called Fro, dwarf dressed up as a Native American is called stinky, overweight character is called fatty, etc). Too bad they felt they had to include this dialog instead of just including the characters. I do like that there are a lot of diverse characters because it makes the game more real. - I do highly recommend this game with the above exceptions. -----------------To Those That Created Ur---------------------- You've Got A Winner - Ahhhha, Confession Scene again with Ur - He's just so gorgeous! - It's like someone reached right into my mind and emotions and created my perfect elf man, everything that I would design, and smoothered it with light and goodness. Even down to his clothes that are white/blue/ gold and intricate, I love his innocence but boldness, his perfect mouth and eyes, his delicate elf features, his wisdom and calmness, his intelligence ... I've never had a character fit me so well before. - I like his confession face a lot. It is a less angry looking Ur which fits elves more. When you live hundreds or thousands of years then you become more stable. You realize that anger will burn you up fast but a steady deep emotion stream will make you more stable and help you survive in the long run. There are times to get angry, but it is rare. You can be stable and stern and still be comical and romantic. It's a rare rounding of a character and elfs have refined it over time. And now I have my Vanyar Light Elf. Thank you to those who made Ur! - And you can ask anyone that has known me for a long time. I don't fall for the whole virtual characters love-wise. But this one came out of left field and hit me hard. So again ... Thank you, and I hope to see many sequels with Ur! ----------------------------------------------------------------- History: - Ur is a Light Elf (Ljósálfar)/(Vanyar/Vanir) - Vanyar elves have blond hair and very fair ivory skin - Vanyar are the fairest and most noble of the High Elves - Ur is a spirit which also puts him higher up into the original ancient pure Light Elf category. - Ancient Light Elves hail from Álfheim in heaven and connect with the gods (a place just under the gods in heaven/nearest to the gods in heaven)(Alfheim/Elphame/Elfenland/Eldamar) - Light Elves are one of the most ancient records of elves - They are "fairer to look upon than the sun" as written by the 12th century eddic prose Gylfaginning by Snorri Sturluson - They are known for being pure, moral, and committed which differentiates them from elves who live on Earth - Light Elves are immortal and don't sleep - Light Elves can manifest a physical form of themselves when needed and will do so mostly to gain knowledge (Astyrhim) - They are also known to be highly intelligent and spiritual and have the ablility of future sight. This is Ur's ability and why he has shackles on his eyes. - His eyes are two different colors signifying the ancient mark of a truly pure and unique spirit. - Ur is also associated with the mythology of Zeus and Thor which is where his lightning abilities come from. - The original ancient Light Elves are my most favorite! - Thank you for making Ur! I am estastic! ----------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================================= ================== Table of Contents ================== - This is a huge Faqs/Tutorial/Tips Guide - Make your life easier and search using any topic below (ctrl-f) or search using any topic you wish related to this game - To skip right to the Walkthrough search on: Storyline Walkthrough Introduction & Overview Opening Song Kana Yazumi Aziral Jandy Chu Opening Scene Opening Storyline Intro Meeting Fire Spirit Rempo Game Description Genre and Details Game Attributes General Game Review & Overview Personal Review More Game Details Game Testing Assessment Things to Change Spelling and Grammer Glitches Missing or Wrong Game Info Game Controls Basic Controls Advanced Controls Configuration Sound Options Display Options Opening/Closing Book of Prophecy Menu Overview Menu Corners & Special Tabs Page Numbers Tips & Helpful Advice Beginning Tips MP, HP, & Eating Dungeon Gold Scores Giving Gifts Don't Lose Codes Be Prepared For 1st Battle Control Mechanics Turning Code Pieces Turning Multiple Pages Using the Hurricane Move Code Scanning Getting All Four Pictures Searching Maps Miss-able Items Witch Olly Pictures Throwing Star Mini-Games & Mystic Jewels When Over-flowing is Not Desirable Zeno-9 Card Mystery Dungeons & Spirit Magic Dungeons the First Time Through Keeping Score & Extra Items Using Spirit Magic Spirit Magic Points Triggering All Game Dialog Sidequests Trump General Dialogs Hearing All Hero/Heroine Affection Dialogs Actions During the Tournament Days Player Choices Affect Dialogs/History Future Visions (News Flashes) Timing Future Visions Order of Walkthroughs & Future Visions Sidequests & Affections & Gifts Affection - To Do or Not To Do Giving More Gifts Per Chapter Calculating Loss of Affection Points Changing Your Boyfriend/Girlfriend Dating a Spirit Equals Extra Power Unshackling the Spirits Judgment Link Battle & Judgment Link Move Judgment Link Battle Definition Challenge Any Individual Challenge Arena Cups Judgment Link Move Definition Judgment Link Move General Info To Bounce a Monster Total Red Number Count & Blue Bar To Bounce a Monster Higher Storyline Walkthrough A Thought Process on Chapters How To Use The Walkthrough Additional Reference Locations General Areas of the World Map Prelude: Sunny Hill - The Awakening Dream Section 1: Grana Plains - Fire Spirit Lessons Section 2: Rhoan Town - More Than Meets The Eye Section 3: Granatum - A Journey Into The Forest Section 4: Wargliss Fortress - Of War and Ice Section 5: Samiad - Lost In An Endless Desert Section 6: Masters - A Tournament Proceeds Chaos Section 7: Returning Lands - Of Spirits and Dragons Section 8: Frannelle Castle - Saving the World Post-game: A World of Change OR The Codes of Life Legal & Copyrights -End of Table of Contents- ============================================================================= =============================== Introduction & Overview =============================== ------------ Opening Song ------------ - This is for all of you who have heavily requested info on the opening song, with an extra English version treat Title: Deep Forest - Sung by Kana Yazumi - All rights reserved - Copyrighted - Kana Yazumi singing song with Avalon Code - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8tjohB5l90 - All rights reserved Translation of Song in English: - Opening song of Avalon Code game is only half of the Deep Forest song - So, here is the half of the song in the game's opening: - That place I visit so often in my dreams - Tracing a map of memories, Should I keep swimming? - Softly, you take my hand and draw it - An unseeable whirlpool of power, - Softly softly, we sink into destiny - Not looking back, deeper, deeper, - Under the stagnant sky - In one light, let's bloom - Before we die - Spread your wings - Fly away... Fly away ... Video of opening song with English words: - Fandubbed by Aziral - http://www.youtube.com/user/StoopidMuffinMan - Actual dubbed video - English words sung by Jandy-Chu - http://www.youtube.com/user/TurkeyHamAndCheese - Singer's website - Absolutely angelic voice and very excellently sung - Talent artists should check her out Lyrics by StoopidMuffinMan and edited by TurkeyHamAndCheese. (Thank youuuu) In the place that I see inside of my dreams, is a place that I so often see. Do I keep on swimming or should I stop to trace a map of my lost memories? Softly, you take out my hand and then you bring me with you An unnoticed whirlpool of power So Gently, so kindly, we slowly sink into destiny Dont look back, no, just keep keep on moving forward Underneath the sky move on ahead Together, with the moon's simple light, we shall bloom And before it comes to an end, Well spread out our wings and then... Fly away... ------------- Opening Scene ------------- - A blood-red sky ... a world choked by flames of destruction. The same dream has plaqued you for many nights. But is it only a dream? Or could it be something else entirely? - A strange voice calls out from within your thoughts. - "A new world shall arise from the ashes of the fires of destruction. Now reach out your arms and receive me. Know what is righteous, for it shall fill the coming world ..." - You awake lazily from your midday nap. Atop the grassy knoll, you look up at the familiar stone monolith looming over you. - With a shiver, you realize it's the same one that's been appearing in your dreams. - Just as you reach a shaky hand towards the tablet, a sudden blinding light beams from it's stony face. You shield your eyes from its brilliance, but when you look again, you find a book resting in your hand. - This book is the same Book of Prophecy from your dreams. - Now, guided by the spirits from the Book of Prophecy, you shall embark on a journey. A journey to fill the pages of the book with things of value, to bring them over to the new world ... -- opening screen -- The end of life as we know it is here. For Man has strayed from the path. I shall incinerate them with the earth... and from their ashes, a new world will be born Let us bind a deal between us... for you shall attain my heart's desire. Now reach out your arms and receive me. Know the truth and record it. For it shall fill the coming world. As long as corruption exists... the flame of destruction will come. Until we attain true enlightenment. - Copyright Marvelous Entertainment/XSEED 2009 ... now the fun begins, and your first battle! Meet the first spirit of the Book of Prophecy, a fire spirit named Rempo ...

One of the best games I have played!!! (9 of 10) - I highly recommend to Marvelous Entertainment, XSEED, Matrix, and MobiClip that they definitely make an Avalon Code 2!!! - And keep Ur in it! (And I hope, expand his interaction with the player) - Avalon Code is a RPG dungeon crawler game with side quests and storylines (lots of content – huge content and also post-game and then endless free-play) with the ability to change many variables of the gameplay world - The world is ending and you must code scan everything you want to keep for your new world in the Book of Prophecy you are given ... but there are others after the Book of Prophecy as well! - Every object in the world has codes (like DNA) that can be scanned and manipulated to make your new world. You gain these codes by slamming the Book of Prophecy over the objects whether they be characters, monsters, items, or flowers. - You can also use the codes you scan to unlock other codes of many characters by doing sidequests and thereby raising the character’s affection points for you - You are accompanied by 4 spirits that you must unlock (you can switch between them during the game) - You decide your world. You can make it pink and cute or all the way to dark and devious (even the monsters, characters, accessories you wear, etc). There are many options in making and/or changing your world and future world. - Realistic graphics (not cartoon-type), lots of content with lots of maps and areas (world is quite big!), and dungeons can get hard (helps to come back to conquer some post game), game mechanics flow well - Can play as girl or boy (each has 5 opposite gender characters and 2 opposite gender spirits to choose as boyfriend/girlfriend) with high replay value - This game is set up to play through the game/storyline (lots of content) and then a few new things in post-game. In fact, many things can’t be started until near the end of the game, and then there is endless play after the post-game. Basically, the game allows you to go through the main storyline and obtain all your items, skills, and scan characters and monsters. Then the post-game and after are used to free-play the game endlessly. - There is a learning curve at the beginning of the game so don’t get frustrated if you don’t understand things or don’t have the tools or skills you need to complete dungeons or other gameplay. Be patient and all will be explained and given. - This game does have many interesting twists and surprises throughout the gameplay - Even though there are set storylines for the game, there is still some free-play as to what you want to do or how fast you want to do it. Customizations achieved with various codes are done brilliantly! ----------------------- Game Testing Assessment ----------------------- - Things to Change ---------------- This is a great game! There isn't much I would change in the game but there is a few things: - Drop the swearing (or make it optional). Even if it is optional then more people will buy and recommend your game. - Drop the brief sterotypes (but keep the diverse characters) - Give more time before the spirit rushes you to hurry up while you have the spirit called with the book open (maybe dismiss the spirit if you want to relax and read/look at the book/think about codes) - Show the actual item picture on the metalize tablet recipe page (weapon, accessory, etc) instead of just the base item it was made from (belt, wings, etc) - You are showing a picture anyway. Make it the actual picture and it would enhance the game and the player's understanding of what items they want to make! - Organize the chapters better so they are more balanced (not one long and one very short) and use un-repeated chapter title names. - I have had a lot of people complain that they don't know where to go, what to do, or how things work during the start of the game. - Beef up the reference/tutorial section ... unless it means less game content (if so, nevermind because there will always be a programmer like me who writes a detailed guide, lol) - I need more Light codes! lol - And a larger code holder/transferer - Perhaps more Bases - Example: 2 sword bases - One to make and keep to use (ex: Holy Excalibur) - One to make the newest recipe without tearing apart the first base - Or, increase the holder/transferer to be able to temporarily hold a 4x4 grid - Then you could take off the Holy Excalibur, hold all its codes in the holder/transferer, make the new item, give a required gift, then put back on the Holy Excalibur on base - And more sub-menus for the Tablets sections would be a lot better - Takes a long time to flip through looking for a recipe - And an older main character, lol - I would love to wear Elf ears :) - Add varied descriptions to all the map locations. - The great swamp that lies beyond Granatum Plateau. Sunlight rarely reaches it, so it's dark, musty, and eerie inside. - This is repeated for every map in Relneia Marshes. - A lot of maps also have repeat descriptions. It would be nice to have each one unique because they are different maps. - Yes, we do value the time you take to make map descriptions and we do read them :) - Spelling and Grammer -------------------- - Excellent work! - I haven't seen one spelling error or grammer inconsistancy Sorry, spoke too soon: - Some textbox pop-ups are not complete sentences - Missing word in textbox pop-up (exploration): Grana Plains 1 - Center bottom-right, large black rock (face up on bottom of rock) - This normal stone is actually composed of several []. - Missing word in textbox pop-up (exploration): Western Desert 10 - Description - This phantom flower blooms only once a year in the desert.
