It is my first one for Luminous Arc. My other two were for Etrian Odyssey,another Atlus game. This is also my first step by step walkthrough. This walkthrough is made to help through the game chapter by chapter. The walk through is in three sections. The first being begining. The second being the actual walk through. The last being extra stuff. Anyways I hope this walkthrough helps you through the game!! If you have any questions or things you want to add feel free to e-mail me. This account is specially made for my guides. It is not conected to GameFAQs in any other way. contributer_hangid@hotmail.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2.Story.........................[STRY] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Story taken from the website) One thousand years after the climactic that nearly destroyed the world, the Luminous Church thrives, based on the teachings of the Luminous Saints. The land finally knows peace, until the birth of a special child marks God's awakening from his slumber He entered after defeating the witches. With this child comes a prophecy that the witches will reappear again, to prevent god from reawakening and leading his people to glory. Take control of Alph, a soldier in the Luminous Church's elite "Garden Children" unit,and begin a quest to rid the world of the witches and return peace to the world. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3.How to play...................[HTPL] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are three types of control in this game. Right stylus,left stylus and button mode. Right stylus is basically using the stylus in your right hand to do just about everything in battle. You use the stylus to determine where you want your character move or attack. Out of battle it used to confirm your selection. This control type is for people who are right handed. This is basically the same as right stylus except there are some button differences. The D-Pad and and the ABXY buttons have been switched around. This control type is obviously for people who are left handed. The last button control is Button mode. In this mode the buttons do everything. The buttons controls are similar to the stylus ones. If you really want to know them you can go check your damn intructions. I used this mode through basically all the game. An exception of a few battles in the begining in which I used Right Sytlus mode. I have never used Left Stylus so I don't know how it works because I am right handed. In battle: In battles it's very simple to play. You take your person,you move them in range of thier enemy and attack. It's very simple you see. Some people have different and different weapons mean different range. Swordsmen and such have only one range. People with longer weapons have two range and bowmen have 4 range. When your behind an enemy you do more damage when your infront of an enemy you do less. Hitting from the side is high damage. Your characters either have skills or magic some even both. You can use them as long as you have enough MP. Flash drives are attacks that you can use once you have enough FP. They are very powerful attacks, don't hesitate to use them. The battle like I said before is very simple and the learning curve is very small. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4.Version Update................[VRUP] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.24 -Everything in Part 1&3 done -Up to chapter 6 0.28 -Done Chapter 7 0.32 -Done Chapter 8 0.40 -Done Chapter 9 -Done Chapter 10 0.44 -Done Chapter 11 0.52 -Done Chapter 12 -Done Chapter 13 0.56 -Done Chapter 14 1.00 -Done Chapter 15 -Done Chapter 16 -Done Chapter 17 -Done Chapter 18 -Done Chapter 19 -Done Chapter 20 -Done Chapter 21 -Done Chapter 22 -Done Chapter 23 -Done Chapter 24 -Done Chapter 25 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Part Two~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Walkthrough...................[WKTH] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the walkthrough of the game. It goes all the way to Chapter 25 the end. Each chapter will have three paragraphs. The first telling what happens before the battle. Then the battle stratagies and finally after battle events. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 01......................[CH01] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you start a new game you see a frog and two girls. You will have to pick a name. It doesn't really affect so pick whatever you want. After that you'll see two monks talking. You'll then see Heath talking to Kingston. You'll then a see a place with people talking. You then see the garden children AKA your fighting crew. You will find out that witches are appearing and you need to condemn them. Then out of nowhere a civilian appears!! Carwee is under attack an you need to help. When all the scenes and talking are done you'll be given options. Action,Return to world map and Advance the story. Usually there is a shop option. I suggest everytime you return to world map to save. When you select action you can talk to your party. After your done checking everything out advance the story. You'll see a little more talking then you can fight. Battle: 2 Roosters one level 2 the other level 3 and two minataurs both level one. Luminous Arc is a simple game and not very hard to learn. Just get in and kill them enemies. Put about 2 or three people on one enemy then move on to the other enemies. A strategy really isn't needed for this fight so just kill them. When you beat the battle you get 400R, a Vitamint and an Antidote. Your party will start celebrating. When the scene is done, save. It's time to carry on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 02......................[CH02] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Head south-west to Holy Garden-Ever Garden to continue. When you get there you see a girl with white hair. She'll start bitching about cleaning up and then intruduce her self. Her name is Lucia. Alph will have to show her around. It seems Lucia's obsessed with brooms... You'll then be given options again. This time you can shop if you want to. Otherwise save and continue the story. Alph will be wonder around and find Lucia...in the night...Anyways Alph and Theo will start talking. Then Lucia will start counting brooms O_o! Lucia is inside of Alph's dream. Alph will go outside to Lucia and start yelling. Then out of th blue monsters appear!! OH NOES!! Lucia will fight back and then you'll have to fight. Battle:You will only have two people Alph and Lucia. There are only 3 enemies. One level 4 behemoth and two Cerberuses both level two. Try to stick together so you can quickly take an enemy down. With Lucia use shine to get easy damage on. You would think that with only 2 people the battle would be hard but it's really not. When you win you will be given 500R,a Vitamint, an Anitdote and a catseye. After the battle you figure out a secret but I'm not going to tell you. The reast of the scene has spoilers so I won't tell you what happens. Leon will come looking for Alph and telling him that they have discovered a witch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 03......................[CH03] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Head east to a place called Palu Forest. You're in a forest and Heath will say there's a witch in the house. This time Heath will ask Cecille to join the battle. They start talking about Saki. Lucia stays out of the fight. You'll be given options again except no shopping. Heath will give you the "Intermission" option. This allows you to talk to your party after battle. You can get items from these intermissions. It's further explained in the intermission section. The garden children break in and you'll see the witch. There's a little more talking then you can fight. There are three fighters. The levels are them are 4,3 and 2. There are two archers both level 3 and finally a level 5 cleric. The fighter should be easy. They aren't that fast and can be taken down easy if you gang up on them. The archers can be annoying with thier long-range. Don't leave an enemy wih low HP alone the cleric can and will heal them. You own healer Cecille can also heal so make use of that. The archers tend to stay up there and snipe you from there. If they keep running away try using magic or split into two teams and corner him. The cleric may to try to cure herself when you try to kill her by she will eventually run out of MP. This battle isn't that hard and shouldn't take that long. When you beat the battle you get a Vitamint, a Holyfthr and a cape. This is where you can choose who want to talk to for intermissions. You can choose who ever who want. After you get the Water Lapistier. When you go outside your party talk with Lucia. Heath will then tell you that you have to go to Carwee to meet the Cardinal. Alph will wonder if that witch was really a witch. In the nighttime Alph will talk with Lucia. After all the scenes you finally get to go to intermission. If you need help with intermissions use xNinjaOfChaosx's intermission guide. After you beat a chapter from now on you get a see a short scene called Life of Kopin. They're quite funny I suggest you watch them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 04......................[CH04] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In order to get to your next destination you must pass the battle. There will several of these later in the game. I won't explain how to due to the fact they are really easy to beat and don't need a strategy and also that they are not important and you can skip some of them. Once you pass the battle head south to Carwee. You'll see two civilians talking about the ever so popular Garden Children. You go to the Luminous Church afterwards. When you get there you meet a guy named Andre. He's the leader of the Zephyroth kights. You'll be stopped by him. He won't let you through and you get past becuase of his MANLY BICEPS. Kingston will then appear and start talking to Heath about your party. Lucia will go crazy on Kingston about the witches. You'll be given options again. A lady in red will appear after you advance the story. Her name is Vanessa also known as the Witch of Immolation. Vanessa is here to take the water Lapistier from you. Luica will start talking to Vanessa as if she knew her... Battle: There are three Hikopins all level 3. Two behemoths both level five and Vanessa is level 10. Your going to want to play it safe in this battle. Vanessa can hit pretty hard and those Behemoths are no pushovers either. The hikopins aren't that strong but they can be very annoying. The behemoths have a two hit range and can hit hard. At the begining Vanessa will most likely use ATK up on either Gul or Gal. Take out the Hikopins as fast as you can. They don't have that much Hp or defence. On your first turn move up a little but not to far. Make sure that they come to you. Once they're in range quickly kill them. The less of them they are the better.Since your staying back the first turn make Leon use Charge. The one on the far right will probably come to you first so focus one or two people there. Hopefully your Heath can kill the hikopins in one hit. If he can send him to the right and the others to the left. Alph should have the skill rifle by now so I suggest you abuse it. If the enemy is focused in onee area I suggest you mave away and hope they split. Kill the hikopins first and then go after the Behemoths. Then Finally go after Vanessa. If priorty comes don't follow that order and kill the enemy nearest to you. When everything else is dead gang up on Vanessa. This fight isn't really hard but it can be a tad challenging. Alph will start glowing and Lucia will sy something about a Rym. Vanessa will warp away. Lucia will sate that she is a witch!!! Heath goes crazy when he hears this and try to condemn Lucia. Out of nowhere another witch named Mel will appear and warp her and Lucia out of there. Heath will start talking with kingston and a knight will come and say that the Eurus knight were killed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 05......................[CH05] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Move on past the Mountain Path random battle and on to the next place. You'll now be at the Holy Congress, Eastern Branch. The scene will start out with two injured soldiers talking. The group will then come and talk about the bad condition of this place. Heath will star talking about experiments and the Wind Lapistier. He will then say that Witch of Immolation came here and stole the Laspistier. The scene will end with Alph and Theo going to go help Cecille with the aiding of the soldiers. The next part will show Cecille tryin to help a soldier who's gone crazy. He'll start talking about some powerful light. Cardinal Kingston will then come. He'll start talking about the "Crow Knights". The Crow Knights are a mix of the Eurus knights and the Zephyroth Knights. You'll then hear shocking news!!!!!!!! Heath is a crow knight and you know what that means no more Heath in battles!!! You'll then find out that you, the Garden Children have to go fight the Witches and retrive the lapistiers. Kingston will call you the witch busters but it seems every disagrees with that name and you are renamed the Fatal Hounds. After that extremely long scene you are finally given options. I'd highly suggest shopping for Alph, for the coming fight is a hard one. Return to the world map and then save. Go back in and Advance the Story. Alph and Heath will start talking and then Heath will break, well, breaking news. You have to fight him. It's a simple one-on-one battle between you (Alph) and Heath. Don't try to use range attacks he can easily get up to you and hit you. A good strategy is so have relatively high experience (above 50) so after you hit him a few times you will have you HP restored. Wait for Heath to come to but not too close so that you can get the first strike on him. This battle is rather simple. If you're having a lot of trouble you may want to try leveling up a bit more. Heath will congratulate you after you win. Alph will talk about going after the Witch of Immolation and getting all pumped up. Heath will tell you that you have to go find Nikolai in the Port Town Ridget. Go beat the two encounters and head to Port Town Ridget. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 06......................[CH06] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The group will end up in a forest and a normal conversation will begin. Later they will go to the town and find out that it's a mess. A civilian will come and say what happened (witches, who would have thought?). Then, out of nowhere, Saki! She is now in your group. You'll find out that Nikolai went to the Western Continent and you have to follow him. Advance the story to continue, but don't forget to save. You will now be on a ship and will meet up with that kid Witch. They'll talk and then you have to fight her. There are 5 Mikopins and Mel (the kid witch) in the battle. The Mikopins can heal and hurt you with Aid and Aqua. Mel has those both as well has Heal. Stay back until the Mikopins get closer to you and further away from her. A couple shots will kill a Mikopin. Try to keep the Mikopins speareted so they can't heal each others and double team on one of your party members. Once the Mikopins are dead, gang up the little kid. Mel will start crying and everyone will start feeling bad for her. She'll start talking about Alph being a Rym and then Lucia will come out of nowhere. The two witches will warp away leaving Alph and the group confused. They will come across the Western Continent. Move west to Port Town Adwest to move on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 07......................[CH07] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you get to the town you'll see a guy in with red hair and green clothes arguing with a Sailor. Turns out that Nikolai. The party will start talking to Nikolai and explain what's happening. He'll talk about a Witch secret and then they decide to eat. Do whatever you want and then Advance the Story to continue. Duscussion will start then Nikolai will sense a Witch nearby (strange sixth sense, no?). Nikolai will go on about Witches and then hit on Cecille. He'll then say something about Lethe Forest, the forest where the Witches are. He'll talk about Witches more and then Vanessa (Witch of Immolation) shows up. Nikolai goes all crazy, some talking and then battle time! In the battle there are 3 Hikopins, Two Behemoths (Gul and Gal) and Vanessa. The first two Hikopins are pretty close so divide you group in to and kill them. Vanessa and her pets shouldn't be in range of you until 2 turns unless you go straight for them. Once the two other Hikopins are dead, get the third one. Your group should be re-united and Vanessa should have reached you by now so, go all out. Go after Vanessa since she a multi-area fire then go after her two pets. More Rym talk and then Theo will get in the way to save Alph from a spell of some sort. Theo will be cursed and then Vanessa will run away. Leon and Saki will try to go after her but when they come back, no luck. Theo will colapse and then they go the Inn. When Theo wakes he'll have some next mutant arm and swears Saki to secrecy. The group decides to go after Vanessa and the Lapisiter. Beat the encounter and head to Mining Village Germarr. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 08......................[CH08] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When they get there more food discussion and then a civilian comes and says to GTFO (well, not really, but he does say go away). Theo will experience arm problems. Do whatever you want (save, buy stuff, talk to people) then Advance the Story to continue. Civilians will yell, monster kill, and you have to save them (even if they were really mean). In the battle there are two Cerberus', two Redsnakes and one Gigas. None of them are in range on the first turn unless you move up. Stay back until and they come to you and then gang on them one-by-one. None of them have anything special about them so it's a simple battle. After the battle there's another monster left over and Theo finishes it, but in the process he reveals the process. The civilians will run and you get to see a picture of an arm. They need to go after Vanessa to cure Theo. With the whole Theo thing you're not wanted even more so they leave. Defeat the encounter and go to Industrial Village Dotruvar. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 09......................[CH09] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you enter you meet a civilian, and unlike that other town they happily welcome you. It seems that there's a Lapistier in this town and the civilian calls it a god. The Lapistier in Godor's workhouse so I guess you have to go there. Do whatever you want and then advance the story. You'll end up in some workshop and you'll see some guy. They'll explain the story and how they need to confiscate the Lapistier in the furnace. When you get to see the Lapistier, Vanessa will show up. She'll start talking about dragon stuff and Theo's arm. Then, it's fight time! There are 5 Hikopins, 2 Behemoths and Vanessa. You should get the three on the sides first (1 on the right and 2 on the left). Once you get them the two in the middle should join. It should take a couple of turns for Vanessa and her pets to come so in that time, get those buffs on. When they come get Vanessa and then the two pets. The pets have no skills and Vanessa has the same magic from the last time you fought her. When the battle is over Vanessa will say that Theo is going to turn into a dragon and that he should come with her. A witch with green hair and Lucia show up during the conversation. It seems that they are against Vanessa. Vanessa will take the Lapistier and run off. Godor will get pissed of at you and run off as well. Lucia will join sides with you and she will take you to the Witch Village. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 10......................[CH10] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The group will be in a plain and start talking. Nothing special so just Advance the Story when it's done. Everyone but Cecille wants to go to the Witch Village. Nikolai senses a Witch and a blue pops up. Vivi (the witch) decides that she will help if you win her in a game of tag. In the battle there are 6 Fukopins and Vivi. If you kill Vivi, you will automaticaly lose the battle. You can kill the Fukopins but it's not neccasary, it's helpful though. In this battle or game, you must get two people on the sides of Vivi to win the battle. Send half of your group to one and one half on the other. She will run around the arena so you will eventually get her. You could also go all in one area and just surround her. When you win, it's not best two of three (joking). Vivi gives you the Chronos Gem. Lucia asks Vivi to help join the battle but she declines (on the count of laziness). Cecille decides not to go back to the Church and stay with the group. Head north past the encounter and to Ring End Falls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 11......................[CH11] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When yiu get there Mel will appear. It seems that she's on your side and will lead you to the Village. Advance the story to continue. Andre and Hugo will get in your way and tell you give up Theo. Andre tells the group to punish the Witches but they don't want to you end up fighting Andre and Hugo. In the battle there are 5 monks, 1 Archer, Andre and Hugo. Since there is only one way up on the right side if you send one person to block that path all the other monks will go the other way. If one dies and the path is free, the monks will move back. Keep doing this until all the monks are dead. On the other side just go all out on the other three. Andre can hit really hard and Hugo has some annoying magic. Make them get closer to you so that you can get first blood on them. Andre and Hugo run off as the battle ends. They betrayed the Church by helping the Witches. After all that is done you can now head on over to the Witch Village. Head north and head to the Witch Village. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 12......................[CH12] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When they get there Mel will open the door and you get to go inside. Lucia disappears and Cecille feels weird. Advance the Story. You'll see two cute little Witches and the Witch leader, Claire. Mavi and Vivi will come out of no where and now you have to fight them alongs with Claire. In the fight there are 2 Kikopins, 2 Fukopins, Mavi, Vivi and Claire. You should head towards Vivi because she will join first. The Fukopins with her are nothing but try to watch out for her Gale. After you've gotten Vivi go after Mavi. Her magic can only hit one person but her physical attacks are strong. Try to take her out from afar. Lastly go after Claire. She is slow and really weak. Her magic can't do much either. It seems that Claire knows everything about the group as well as Theo's condition. Alph and Theo turns out to be dragons and you need to get the Draconic Geode in Liyella Volcano. Claire sent Lucia to the Volcano and now the group must go after her. Vivi also joins your group. Head east the encounter and Liyella Volcano. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 13......................[CH13] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The group starts talking and then they continue on. Advance the story. Monsters have eaten the Dragonic Geodes around here and Vivi figures that Lucia went deeper. You see Lucia fighting off monsters and then Alph comes. Everyone else comes and then the battle ensues. There are 3 Gigas, 2 Tri-heads, 2 Salamands and 1 Keythongs. Sends Lucia to the lower part of the platform she is on, while attack the Gigas near her. Take care of the 2 Tri-Heads in front of you and the head for Gigas. The group should join Lucia on the platform and hopefully the Gigas near Lucia is dead. The 4 monsters near the back should be out range for another turn or two. You should spread out your party to get the remaining monsters. Lucia found the Draconic Geode and now the group can uncurse Theo. However, it seems that you need to consult the great Sage. He's located in the Witch Village so head on over there. You'll meet the sage and his apprentice and he'll make the thing to cure Theo. The group will have some corny conversation and then they decide to stay in the Village. You find out what a Rym is and then there is some more talking. Advance the Story. Vanessa is causing more trouble. To stop her that follow her to Jeidtah. Pollon-Pollon joins your party. Head south and then east past the encounter to Lakeside Town Jeidath. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 14......................[CH14] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you get there the Research Facility has been destroyed and then you meet up with Vanessa. She claims that she didn't do but no one believes her. It's fight time. You can leave if you want to to get anything. Right when you select Advance the Story, the battle will begin. In the battle there are 5 Hikopins, 2 Behemoths and Vanessa. The Hikopins are the biggest trouble in the battle. You're going to want to separate your party as much as you can so that the multi-area attacks don't hit too many members. Send a person or two to get the Hikopin on the right and then send the rest to the left, but make sure they are separated. After the Hikopins are dead take care of Vanessa and her pets. Although she has no new tricks up her sleeve, she is still very deadly, as well as her pets and the Hikopin. After you beat the battle, something strange happens. You don't get to have an Intermission talk. This is because there'a another battle coming. The Church created a man-made Witch. It turns out she was the one who destroyed the Facility. Battle time and you get Vanessa with you! In the battle there are 3 Bolt Glms, 2 Reptiles, 2 Gargoyles and Iris (the Steel Witch). Don't bother separating your group, just go to the left. Take care of the enemies on the stairs and then move on the lower part. Concentrate all your attention on Iris. Make sure you have healers at hand since going into the belly of the beast is dangerous. If you're the more cautious person just wait until the enemies come one-by-one and just pick them off. Iris activates her Hyper mode so the Witches warp everyone away. They end up safe in a plain near a town and then Vanessa leaves. So then they decide to check out the nearby town. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 15......................[CH15] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Head on over to the town beside you. The civilians will start talking about the light and stuff. The group will start talk about the Steel Witch and the church. They decide to rest in town. Advnace the Story when you're done doing whatever you we're doing. It seems the Arc knights and and Heath have come to town. The group tries to talk to Heath, but he's not too happy. Heath doesn't listen to what the group has to say and instead wants to fight. It turns out to be a one-on-one battle between Alph and Heath. Like last time, try to have experience so that you can level and get back your HP and MP when you hit him. Hopefully you're on high level and have the attack Magnum. It does a high amount of damage and is a very long range attack. The battle is simple and is on a straight field. Even after Alph wins the battle Heath still thinks that Witches are evil. Iris and Kingston are back and Heath looks surprised. The soldiers surround the group but Heath doesn't want to attack. Some ninja guy comes and saves your ass and randomly saves you. The guy's name is Kai and now you have to run more. Head north to Terraced Springs of Lawston. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 16......................[CH16] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alph runs off like a little baby and Lucia follows him. Lucia goes out on Alph on how he's a baby because he's sad of what happen with Heath. Lucia Runs away after that. Advance the Story after the onversation to move on.Andre is next. He has a famed sword...that he can't use. The group starts making fun of the Andre. Andre tells that Heath has been demoted to some next remote group. It's fight time now. There are 5 Galaxies, 1 Cleric, 1 Magician and Andre. The Galaxies are surrounding you. They are easy since they are spread out and a person or two can take them out. The Magician has a some offensive spells and the Cleric has healing spells 2 offensive magic attacks. Try to take of Andre from a distance because he can hit heavy and has Flash Drives ready at hand. Leon's dad nickname was the Lion and it turns that Andre killed, that's how he got that sword. Andre runs off and Leon chases after him. Everyone starts lecturing Alph. He then decides to after Lucia. Head west past the encounter to Holy Statue at Parnus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 17......................[CH17] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You see Lucia alone and then she will get ambushed by Iris. You meet up with Claire. She was worried that Alph and Lucia got separated. She also senses that Lucia and the Thunder Lapistier are near each other somwhere in the forest. They go after her. Advance the story to continue. Alph and Lucia meet up and then they have some corny conversation. You get to see a picture of Alph and Lucia together. There'll be more corny talk and Alph gets a costume change. Some more talking and then fight begins. There are 4 Knights, 2 Clerics, 1 Magician and Iris. With the group, just go all out on the three enemies infront of them. Move Alph and Lucia back so they don't get into combat with Iris. Once the three enemies are dead, the group should meet up. Now advance on Iris and the Other enemies. Try to send a decoy to make Iris waste her FP. Then, gang up on her. The other lesser enemies are nothing special so they should go down easy. Some more corny talking. The two stones that Alph and Theo had (since when?) turns out to be the Light Lapistier. They decide to head back to the Witch Village. Back at the Church Iris is repairing herself. Head towards the Witch Village and then east to Lethe Forest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 18......................[CH18] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You'll see Hugo and someone annoying angel girl in a forest. Priel breaks the barrier and they go in. Back where the group is, Vanessa shows up (:D), and she joins your group. Mother Lapis is in the deeper part of the forest so they decide to go in. When Priel destroys Mother Lapis Cecille starts feeling weird. Some crazy stuff happens and Cecille turns hot, I mean into a witch (both actually). Fight time! There are 2 Knight, 2 Ranger, 2 Magicians, Hugo and Priel. Turn off the volume, lest you want to hear Priel's voice. No real strategy for this battle. Let the enemy come to you and then strike, they're too far anyways. Priel has some annoying attacks and both Hugo and her can heal. None of them can really do anything except for Priel's Flash Drive. Priel and Hugo run away and Vanessa run after them. Cecille explains about her being a Witch. They find the Dark Laspistier. So now they have to go to some Ancient Ruins. So they set off for there. Head east, past the encounter and to the Altar of Souls. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 19......................[CH19] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This place is a place where they offer human souls. The souls were offered to Zehaal and he got all power crazy. Advance the story to continue. Iris comes back and wants to kill you again. There's been a misunderstanding with Heath dying and Iris wants to fight. There are 3 Armors, 2 Rangers, 1 Wizard, 1 Deacon and Iris. Send one person to each of the sides to take care of the Rangers. Send the rest of your people straight to the Armors. Iris will probably come next and use a Flash Drive, it hurts a lot. Gang up on Iris and that will leave the Wizard and the Deacon rather screwed. The Wizard's magic is pretty. The Deacon can cause more trouble because she can hurt you and heal her allies. After the battle, Iris gets screwed up and a big army is headin' your way. Heath is with them. Then Priel shows up. So, now everyone here is going to be sacrificed. Soldiers start get sacrificed. Cecille saved the group and Iris saved Heath. Iris' story is explained and it turns out Heath and Kai are long time friends. Heath now joins your group. They group decides to go the Holy Capital. Head East to San Blanc Shore. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 20......................[CH20] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The gate infront of the Capital is guarded and Vivi smells blood. Advance the Story. You see Leon and Andre fighting. The group shows to help Leon. Some more soldiers show up and it's fight time! There are 5 Kungfus, 2 Bishops and Andre. Stay back and the enemies advance, but make sure you move Leon back. Once they have all moved forward, go all out on the Kungfus. Try to use multi area attacks to quickly lower thier numbers. Once they're dead, advance on Andre and the Bishops. They don't have a lot of movement but they are strong. Andre is fully charged with FP and the Bishops have annoying magic. Take out Andre before the Bishops heal him. Once Andre is down the Bishops will fall easy. Andre dies and Leon has avenged his father. Everything is explained to Leon. Leon takes the Regulus Heart. The gate is now open and they head off to the Capital. Head south to Holy Capital San Reise. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 21......................[CH21] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The group starts talking and then they decide to rest. Advance the Story. Vanessa is already at the gate fighting. The group offers to fight with Vanessa and after an argument she agress. Soldiers appear and it's fight time. There are 3 Templars, 2 Marksmen, 2 Wizards and 1 Bishop. No advanced people so this fight is easy. They are close enough that long range attacks can reach them. They are stupidly close to each other so just abuse multi-range attacks to kill them. There's another fight coming up. A machine comes and you have to fight it. There are 4 Alch Eyes and 1 Alkemion. Just move forward and quickly take of the Alch Eyes. They are weak and only have two thunder spells. The Alkemion causes more trouble. It can't move but it has a wide range spell that can hurt. It's really big so you can have a quite a few people surrounding it. Try to kill the Alkemion before it has a chance to use it's Flash Drive. Nother' battle. Johaness turns into a cacoon. Priel now fight you. There are 2 Armors, 1 Mage, 1 Deacon and Priel. Just move forward and take care of the 2 Armors, the Mage and the Deacon. They are nothing. Priel is easy too. She has no FP so her annoying Flash Drives are useless. Other than a few light spells and HP she has nothing special. The cacoon is about to open and Zehaal is about to awaken. Kingston does some stupid flash thing and runs away. Zehaal is heading towards Kursegrad so that's the next destination. Head south past the encounter and to Round Table Council HQ. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 22......................[CH22] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You see Hugo and Kingston talking. Priel Destryos some machine. The group is talking and the Water Lapisiter is near. Advance the Story. The group will talk to Hugo and Kingston. Kingston puts the Water Lapistier in Hugo and he transforms. There are 3 Scorecers, 2 Snipers, 2 Bishops and Hugo. Send one person to take care of the Scorecer and the others up the stairs. You probably won't reach the enemy on the first movement. Just keep going forward and take care of the 5 enemies infront of Hugo. Once they're dead, focus all your attention on Hugo. He has full FP so he can do some annoying stuff. Once they're dead get that one loner Scorcerer in the back. Hugo gets all sad because he loses and then he runs away again. The group decides to head to the Ancient Battle Field. Head past the Encounter and to Ancient Battlefield Kursegrad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 23......................[CH23] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The group starts talking, nothing special. Advance the Story. Kingston realizes the truth. Priel puts the Laspitier into Kingston (that's karma man) and now he transforms. It's fight time. There are 3 Ice Golems, 2 HornKings, 2 Gargoyles and Kingston. Stay back for the first turn and let the enemy get closer. It doesn't matter if you get hit by an Icecruch or two. When the enemies move up go farward and strike. Take care of the IceGolems first since they have annoying Magic. The Hornkings should come next. They are strong so watch out. Kingston and the Gargoyles will come. Take care of Kingston as fast as you can. He is fully loaded with large amounts of magic and full FP. Kingston blows up or something. Zehaal wakes up. Something happens with Zehaal and Priel wants to destroy the planet. Zehaal and Preil warp away to the planet's heart. They group decides to follow them. Head south to the Portal to the World. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 24......................[CH24] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cecille talks about some dangerous attack thatonly Lucia can use. Advance the Story. You meet up with Priel. Priel is being annoying again and not letting you through. You have to fight her...again. There are 2 FireGlms, 2 Ice Golems, 2 Brutos, 1 Gulm and Priel. Divide you group into half and take care of the Golems. With 4 members per two golem, they fall easy. Move towards the middle and take care of the monsters there. Priel has a full FP guage so that's something big to watch for. Kill her as quickly as you can before she gets another attack on you. Priel relizes that she is goig to get eaten. There some corny talking and everyone will get a word in. The next chapter is the final chapter so get everything you need for the next two battles. Head northeast to Holy Land Canal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapter 25......................[CH25] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There will be some talking with the group about the final battle and stuff. You see Zehaal talking to himself and then the group comes. Do whatever you want, get items, train. This is the final battle so be prepared (not that hard though ^_^;). There are 3 Abyss', 3 Vultures and Zehaal. Stay back and let the enemies come closer. It'll take awhile for your fighters to get closer so stick to long range attacks. The Vultures are more dangerous than the Abyss' because they have more magic, but they are also weaker defense wise. Once they're dead move onto Zehaal. Send a sacrifice towards him to waste his FP because his Flash Drive is likely to kill. Just gang up on him and he'll fall. It's not over yet though. Zehaal transforms into some giant monster. Now you have to this bastard (final battle) First of all, it's absolutely nessacairy that you have a healer (Cecille, Mel) because no matter what Zehaal will use a Flash Drive that will hit all of your people. In the first turn bunch together so it will be easiar to heal. Once you have you healing together send two people to each shiny circle at the sides. This will prevent Zehaal from warping. Send the rest of your group straight to Zehaal. Make sure you bring your healers since he can do massive damage. As soom as your in range hit with all your attacks and Flash Drives. I won't spoil the end. _______________________________________________________________________________ ~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~ Congratulations, you beat the game!! ~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~-=~ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Part Three~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.Characters....................[CHAR] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In this section there will the character's name along with the description.
