I added Kendaria, and almost finished the combo list. - Version 1.0: Added Prolouge, Lost Kingdoms History, Story, Characters, How to Play, part of Bhashea, part of Combos, and Credit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <>//My Prologue\\<> Just to let every one know this is my first FAQ. IÕm still experimenting with everything. If this FAQ proves to be a positive experience, then IÕll probably make more. This guide contains A LOT of spoilers, not that the story is that surprising. Ok, so thereÕs your warning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <>//Lost Kingdoms History\\<> Lost Kingdoms was released on May 1st, 2002, for the Nintendo Gamecube. Lost Kingdoms was a short rpg, one with an amazing real-time battle system. The story is one of the Princess of the Alanjeh, Princess Katia. In the continent of Argwyll, a mysterious Black Fog has engulfed the land of Bhashea and is now making its way to Alanjeh. Princess Katia must trek though the five Kingdoms of Argwyll (Alanjeh, Grayle, Bhashea, Kendaria, and Whyt) to find her father, King Feobene. After seeing her father struck down by the evil creature, Beelzebub, Katia searches for the remaining Runestones, only to meet Helena, a mysterious person in possession of the Runestone from Bhashea. After defeating Helena in WhytÕs Colosseum, you learn she is a princess from the other continent. Her land was attacked by Thalnos, the Enchanter, and was taking over. He sent her to find the Runestones from Argwyll. She planned on using the Argwyllian Runestones to defeat Thalnos. After she dies, Katia gains all of the Runestones and must take on Thalnos. Katia enters the GodÕs temple, only to find that it is guarded by the Black Dragon. After killing the beast, Katia is faced with the God of Creation. She tells her to defeat her brother, the God of Destruction, in the other land, across the rift. The other land is a complete derelict, and Thalnos has been waiting for Katia. After killing him, his power is diminished, and the God of Destruction rises from his body. Katia learns that the God was using Thalnos to take over his sisterÕs continent. The God transports Katia to his battlefield, hoping to take her soul and her Runestones. Katia seals the magic of the God, and unites the five Kingdoms of Argwyll, becoming the first Queen of Argwyll. Lost Kingdoms features some memorable characters, such as Katia, and Gurd, a mysterious old lady who guides Katia through using her Runestone. She also runs an apothecary of cards for Katia. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <>//Story\\<> This game takes place 200 years after Lost Kingdoms. Katia is a hero, and every town has at least one statue of her. Ever since her reign, every Queen will take possession of the Runestone to stop any trouble. Since then, there has been only slight trouble. All of the is about to change. The Kendarians have learned to make their own Runestones. None of these Runestones are as powerful as the QueenÕs, but they still can control mech monsters. The Queen has told them that if they invade, she will be forced to use her Runestone. ItÕs too bad she doesnÕt have the Runestone. What does this have to do with Tara Grimface, the main character? Everything. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <>//Characters\\<> Tara Grimface: Tara is the wonderful blonde hero in Lost Kingdoms II. Tara is an orphan, adopted by Victor. (Oh cÕmon, you donÕt expect me to say her entire past in her profile!) Tara was dropped in the streets of Kadishu as a child. When Victor took her under his wing, he soon realized that she had something that would help him out greatly. This was the Runestone. Tara was given the Runestone by her mother at a young age. This is the only memory she has. Tara doesnÕt believe in thievery, but, she feels guilty about Victor saving her life that she stays in the Band of the Scorpion. Victor: Victor runs the ÒBand of the ScorpionÓ a no-good thieving group whoÕll steal from just about every one. He must have a soft-spot, because he took Tara under his wing when he saw her starving in Kadishu. He know uses TaraÕs power for his own good. Sol: Sol is an amazing swordsman with one hell of a sword. Ever since he joined the Band of the Scorpion, he seems to be staying close to Tara, trying to keep her safe. Sol seems to have some relation to Baron Dalk-Nok. The Queen, Rashiannu: Rashiannu is a bit of a brat, one who really doesnÕt like to think of others at first. ItÕs not that Rashiannu doesnÕt mean well, she just has grown in fear of some one attacking and she not having her Runestone. When it comes to the Runestone, her reactions seem quick and not though through. Leod VII: Remember the King of Kendaria from Lost Kingdoms? Leod VII is his descendent. Leod dreams of one day ruling of the Argwyll and taking the throne from the Alanjehians. Leod is extremely intelligent, capable of creating artificial Runestones. Being emotionally immature, he will let his anger get the best of him. Gurd: Gurd is a jovial old lady who lives in the Sacred Battle Arena. Gurd once helped Katia on her travels, and she has some advice for Tara, also. Gurd seems to have something to do with the Gods, but it is not known what. (Thanks to IcecreamAssassim for informing me on this little conversation) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <>//How to play\\<> Lost Kingdoms II might be a little tough to play at first since thereÕs no tutorial, but you should be able to get it after a bit of trial and error. YouÕre HP is displayed in the light blue bar across the top of the screen. If you run out of HP, you abort the mission automatically. YouÕre MP is displayed as a purple bar under the HP meter. You need MP to use cards. If you run out of MP, you will loose HP every time you loose a card. To get more MP, you need to collect the magic stones that drop off enemies when theyÕre hit. The cards in your ÒhandÓ are displayed in the bottom right of the screen. There are four cards in a hand. By pressing on of the four buttons, you can use the card. You next four cards are displayed in the bottom left You can discard a card by pressing R plus what ever button the card is assigned to. The card goes to the bottom of your deck.You can lock on to monsters by pressing Up C There are six attributes of cards. The attributes are Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, Neutral, and Mech. Fire cards are displayed with an orange flame. Water cards are displayed with a blue drop of water. Earth cards are displayed with a brown rock. Wood cards are displayed with a green leaf. Neutral cards are displayed with a purple eye. Mech cards are displayed with a silver gear. Here is the chart for weaknesses and strengths: Fire -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> -> Wood ^ | | V ^ Neutral | | V ^ | | V ^ Mech | | V ^ | | V ^ | | V Water <- <- <- <- <- <- <- <- <- <- <- <- <- <- <- Earth Neutral creatures have strong attack, Mech creatures have strong defense. Both of these types arenÕt week against anything. (NOTE: Any creature that can do a lightning type of attack will work well on a Mech type creature) Although there are six attributes for the cards, there are also five types of cards. Weapon Cards: The creature will appear around Tara, attack, then disappear. May only be used a limited amount of times. Independent Cards: The creature will come out of its card and attack along side Tara. Helper Cards: Helpers come out of their card, but they do things like act as decoys, raise attack and defense, ect. Summons Cards: Tara turns into the creature and releases one powerful attack. Transform Cards: Tara turns into these cards. She can walk around and attack as these cards. Some of them can jump, and some can fly. Transforming cards are new to Lost Kingdoms II. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walkthrough//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <>//BHASHEA\\<> NoblemanÕs Residence Enemy Affinities: Fire: 38%, Water: 20%, Neutral: 40% Chest Cards: 053. Dark Raven 078. Scythe Beast # of Red Fairies: 3 Welcome to your first level of Lost Kingdoms II! In this level, you should start to get used to the camera modes. Once you start the level, turn around and enter the door. If you look behind the bookshelf, youÕll see two chests. A nice weapon card such as a Lizardman will take care of those crates nicely. YouÕll get the Dark Raven and Scythe Beast cards. You canÕt put these cards in your deck until after you beat the first level. Continue down the hallway. You should see a Beaker and a Dark Raven. This will be your first fight, obviously. Throw out a Man Trap, and use Lizardman for the Dark Raven. After you kill the Dark Raven, help your Man Trap out with the Beaker. Recall your Man Trap by pressing R plus whatever button you have your Man Trap assigned to. YouÕll fight some Hobgoblins, more Dark Ravens, and a Beaker. DonÕt use your Dragon Knight, save that for the boss fight. BOSS: HELL HOUND After two rooms, you should come to the only open door. That will lead to a boss fight against a Hell Hound. You have to make sure to stay as far away from the Hell Hound as possible, for itÕs quick. Send out some independent cards. Once itÕs distracted, use your Dragon Knight and your Lizardman. At the end of the level, you can get a Fairy, Dark Raven, or a Beaker. --- Bhashea High Road Enemy Affinities: Earth: 24%, Wood: 55%, Neutral: 12%, Mech 9% Chest Cards: 123. Porcupig 012. Man Trap 007. Red Lizard 124. Golden Porcupig 219. Water Moray # of Red Fairies: 3 This is the first real level of Lost Kingdoms II. Bhashea should be a time where you get to learn about different kinds of cards, strengths and weaknesses, and where you get your first somewhat hard fight. Behind the horses, there should be a chest with a Porcupig in it. If you go right, you should see a man who will challenge you to throw a card to the other side. Get an Man Trap card ready, and get to the farthest edge of the land. Hold the card down and guide the card with your analog stick. If you can make it over, the bandit will reward you with an Elephant card. Once you reach the bridge, take a right. You should eventually come to a chest with a Man Trap. Keep going until you find Sol. Take the Red Lizard card from the chest. Before you continue, find the Deck Point. Add your new cards to your deck, and continue on to the boss fight. BOSS: STORM HAGAN (x2) This oneÕs a little harder than the Hell Hound. Maker sure that you have at least two Hobgoblins. Once you send out the Hobgoblins (Two will work), you have to move quickly. Use Dark Ravens and your Dragon Knight. Make sure that you know where both are, because one of them tends to sneak up behind you. Keep going and then focus your efforts on the second one. You should be able to beat them, in time. The available cards to win are a Man Trap, Porcupig, and Storm Hagan. Coming Back to Bhashea High Road: After coming from Kadishu and Gromtull Desert, youÕre back here again. YouÕll see Sol, who says that the Kendarie Army is planning on getting rid of all thieves, like the Band of the Scorpion. Sol will help you fight, but heÕs more of a burden then a help. As you continue, you should see a Kendarie Soldier near the bridge! He will throw out Mech Cards. Ghouls, Porcupigs, and Dragoniods works very well. Once youÕve cleared all of the three Kendarie Soldiers, Victor wants revenge. NOTE: After completing this mission, you may now use ÒKendarie SoldierÓ in Two Player Mode. --- Kadishu Enemy Affinities: None Chest Cards: 172. Rock Hagan 037. Demon Hound 055. Dragonoid 027. Flayer Spawn # of Red Fairies: 5 YouÕll be coming back to Kadishu a lot. Remember that. Once the level starts, go directly to your right. At the end of this pathway, you should see a chest. Get the Rock Hagan. Go back through the entrance to the town, and talk to some of the people. One of them will mention the Fairy Man who is in the desert. More on that later. Go through the town, looting chests and getting fairies. Remember to check the wells and piles of bags. Once you go under the bridge, youÕll see a cutsence where you see a young girl who looks like Tara with a Runestone that looks exactly like TaraÕs. Seems like a flashback. After the cutsence is over, enter the shop. Buy, Sell, and Upgrade what ever cards you want, then continue up the stairs. You should see a statue of Katia, a red fairy, and a chest. Go to the pathway to the overworld near the statue and talk to the girl near the pathway. She should say something about the Kendarie Army hunting bandits. This could be trouble. Time to go back to Bhashea High Road if you choose not to take on Gromtull Desert at this time. --- Gromtull Desert Enemy Affinities: Earth: 97%, Neutral: 3% Chest Cards: 084. Venus Spider 173. Bum Hagan 068. Evil Eye 014. Mummy (x2) 193. Pixie 043. Sand Beetle 031. Running Bird # of Red Fairies: 5 This could be considered a side quest, but, out of all of the side quests, Gromtull Desert is the most important, especially when starting the game. If you ever played the Lost Kingdoms, this level should sound familiar. They updated the Gromtull Desert theme from the last game. As you all can see, Gromtull Desert looks more realistic then it did 200 years ago. When you start the level, follow the footprints in the sand. You can avoid the monsters if you wish. You should see a chest, a lake, a bag, and a door. Walk up to the bag and take the bottle, then loot the chest. Go back to where you started and take a right instead of going straight. You should see some Red Fairies and a chest. Near the chest there is an oil pool. Take some oil, then run back to the door near the camel. If you wish, you may open the door near the oil and take some chests in there. In the door near the camel, you meet Jarvi, the fairy man. He is the ancestor of Alexander. If you go to his house in Kadishu, he will exchange the Red Fairies you find for cards. You can get a Sand Worm, a Mummy, or a Sand Beetle as an award at the end of this level. Please go back to Bhashea High Road to continue the story. --- Kendarie Fortress Enemy Affinities: Wood: 15%, Neutral: 20%, Mech: 65% Chest Cards: 005. Mandragora 110. Aggressor GL2 112. Death 178. MechaPult 071. Venom Lizard 191. UberBomberBot # of Red Fairies: 4 Victor has decided to take of the Kendarian Runestones. Too bad that the Runestone Caverns are in Kendaria. To get to Kendaria, you must pass through the Kendarie Fortress. The only thing stopping the Band of the Scorpion is the large door right in front of them. Victor sends Tara to find the switch. IÕd love to see Victor to do this. Go straight, and search the bags for a Red Fairy, go back to where you started. Take a left and go up the stairs. Watch out for the searchlight. If you get caught, the doors will close and you have to fight a mech monster. In the chest thereÕs a Mandragora. Head up the stairs to find a Blue door open. Enter the blue door and begins your first of three fights. The Soldier only has a Dark Raven and an Aggressor GL2, but donÕt expect an easy fight. Keep the boss busy with independents, then get out the summons like the Hagans. Keep moving, because he likes to use the Dark Raven. Once heÕs down, you get the Blue Key. Go back downstairs and open the Blue Door. ThereÕs a Deck Point and a Red Fairy. Heal at the Deck Point, and keep moving. Go back downstairs and find the other door with the Blue Key symbol. Open it, and youÕll be in an area with two searchlights. Get the chest with the Aggressor GL2. Find the open door with the Red symbol, and fight another Kendarie Soldier. After beating him, you get the Red Key. Instead of taking the new set of stairs, go back to the door in the beginning with the Red symbol. Go through the Green door and fight yet another Kendarie soldier. After getting the Green Key, go back to the Deck Point. At the end of the hallway, you should see a Green Door. Open it to get the Death card. If you take the path down to the inlet in the lake like area, you find a Red Fairy in a bag. Head back to where you got the Red Key. You should now find yourself in an area with three searchlights. This also means that there are two chests. One chest contains a Venom Lizard while the other contains a MechaPult. If you continue, you should find yourself at the boss fight. BOSS FIGHT: KENDARIE SOLDIER The Soldier just has more cards then the soldiers. Use the same tactics, but be more careful. Use Death, itÕll help. After the battle is over, you can pull the switch. You can win a Mandragora, Aggressor GL2, or a MechaPult. You may now continue to Kendaria. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <>//KENDARIA\\<> Runestone Caverns (Upper) Enemy Affinities: Water: 90%, Earth: 2%, Mech: 8% Chest Cards: 053. Dark Raven 061. Blood Bush 090. Undine 034. Land Shark (x2) 192. Gorgon 194. Baba Yaga 162. Wichlette # of Red Fairies: 5 Bring Earth cards! This level is basicly all Water cards, and Earth Cards work the best. When you start out, Victor tells you that you need a key. There is no key. When you start, go to the left and find the chest. Take the Dark Raven and keep moving. Go to the right now. You should see a red Fairy. Take a left at this intersection. Crystal Roses and Land Sharks will attack. Kill them and continue. You shoulod see a chest off to the right. ItÕs a Blood Bush. Take it. Cross the bridge, and take the Undine card from the chest. Grab the red fairy, and then walk over to the Sluice Gate Switch. If the gate is down, you can get a red fairy, a Maeltrom, and a Basilisk. If you have the gate up, you can only get a Yowie. Return back to the start of the level, and instead of taking the first left, keep going straight. You should see another long hallway to the left with chest at the end. Open the chest of a Land Shark, and continue to go left. YouÕll be in the upper most part of the chamber. Sol is residing near two red fairies. Take the Stone Golem car from him, and take both red fairies. Run back down to the start of the level and put the stone golem in your deck. Walk up to the door and turn into the Stone Golem. You should be able to get a Crystal Rose and a Stone Golem from the card draw. Does any one else think that the Runestone Caverns are the Yyprek Mines? Anyways... --- Runestone Caverns (Lower) Enemy Affinities: Fire: 37%, Water: 61%, Neutral: 2% Chest Cards: 027. Flayer Spawn (x3) 120. Yowie 039. Basilisk 041. Maelstrom (x2) # of Red Fairies: 4 Ok, for this level, bring your Crystal Roses, Sythe Beasts, Archer Trees, MechaPults, and Dark Ravens. The whole point of this level is to defeat the boss at the end. You start the level by running. Just run. After finding some Red Fairies, you should see some purple orbs. Avoid these like the plague. Seriously, theyÕre really annoying. This level is very straightforward, so itÕs almost impossible to get lost. After you go running for awhile, you should come into a room where there are stairs. If you raised the gate, go to your right and get a Yowie card. If its down, you can get a Maelstrom and a fairy. Go up the stairs to get a Basilisk, then go up the stairs with the Yowie to find the Kendarian Runestone collection. One of the bandits dies, and you must keep moving. Open the chests, and then go through the door. You should find yourself in an area that is very narrow. YouÕll meet Leod VII, Lord of Kendaria. After this speech, get your long ranged cards ready. Keep going, and then Victor will die. Boo hoo. In the next room, you should see the boss. BOSS FIGHT: BODY OF THE GOD Yes, Body of the God. This fight can be a pain if you donÕt have the right cards. When he launches those annoying purple beams, one group will go to the left, and another goes to the right. Stay in the middle and you should be ok. Get out your MechaPult, and get those Crystal Roses ready. When get goes to swing for you, just stay out of the way. After defeating him, you see Sol, who comes to the rescue. After this, you wonÕt see Sol for a while, but you now need to get out of Kendaria. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Side Quests//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COMING SOON ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extras///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <>//Card List\\<> COMING SOON ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <>//Combos\\<> To activate combos, you have to talk to the man in Kadishu who talk about Z powering.
