Odin Sphere is a 2D-platform side-scrolling action game with RPG elements. Although the player can only use one character at a time, there are five playable characters whose fates are intertwined in the world called Erion. Each character follows his/her own storyline and may encounter another during the game. The character can explore different dungeons, depending what is available on the chapter, and each dungeon features different enemies and environmental threats. For example, in the Fire Kingdom, the character constantly takes heat damage if he/she does not equip the right accessory or drink a certain potion. Unlike traditional RPGs, each character has only one weapon but the character’s constitution and his/her weapon, known as a Psypher, can be improved on. As foretold in the prophecies, Armageddon is approaching and the war between two nations, Ringford and Ragnanival, escalates to full-scale as both nations vie over the ownership of a giant magical furnace called the Cauldron. According to the prophecies, 5 great disasters shall occur during Armageddon and the Cauldron is one of the catalysts. The game starts with a girl named Alice who has found some books in the attic and starts reading them with her cat, Socrates. Socrates allows the player to review all the past events and reading a book will begin a story. There are seven books altogether and they are ‘Valkyrie’ ‘The Pooka Prince’ ‘Fairy Land’ ‘The Black sword’ ‘Fate’ ‘Armageddon’ ‘Wheel of Fate’ Alice starts with the first book and as each book is completed, the next book becomes available. However, the last book ‘Wheel of Fate’ requires some effort from the player to unlock it. The first five books take place before Armageddon and each book tells a story from a character’s perspective. ‘Valkyrie’ is Gwendolyn’s book ‘The Pooka Prince’ is Cornelious’ book ‘Fairy Land’ is Mercedes’ book ‘The Black Sword’ is Oswald’s book ‘Fate’ is Velvet’s book After completing the book ‘Fate’, the book ‘Armageddon’ becomes available. It depicts a certain individual causing the first disaster foretold in the prophecies, setting the wheel of Armageddon in motion. Through 5 epic battles, the player will determine the fate of Erion. Will Erion be destroyed or will it be saved? The last book ‘Wheel of Fate’ is unlocked if the player followed the right order to fulfil the prophecies. It tells of the aftermath of Armageddon ------------------------------------ Character Synopsis (OSSYN) ------------------------------------ There are 5 playable characters available in Odin Sphere. Playable characters are (SYNGWEN) (SYNCORN) (SYNMERC) (SYNOSWA) (SYNVELV) Warning: Interpretations can be subjective. _________________________________ (SYNGWEN) -Character Analysis- Gwendolyn is a Valkyrie, an Aesir member of the nation Ragnanival. She is also King Odin’s daughter. She yearns for Odin’s affection and approval. In addition, she also feels inferior towards her sister, Griselda, who seems to have Odin’s devoted attention. The name of her Pyspher spear is unknown. After a certain event, Gwendolyn claims the Psypher spear from her dying sister. Regardless that the Aesir’s defeat is inevitable, Gwendolyn continued to charge into the battlefield until she was defeated by the Shadow Knight, who spared her. Feeling shamed, she returned to Ragnival to report before amassing another force to take revenge. Gwendolyn’s devotion to her father shows many times in the book ‘Valkyrie’. Charging an enemy’s stronghold with a small force just after being defeated; outright defying the king from his duties to fulfil his true desires; contemplating to assassinate her designated husband for her father’s victory, etc. Despite her devotion to her father, a new, indescribable feeling begins to blossom as the kindness of her husband, Oswald, gradually touched her heart. In comparison, a typical male Aesir treats a female as an object. To salvage her relationship with Oswald after a misunderstanding happens, Gwendolyn went to the extent of infiltrating Ringford and even the Netherworld by herself. In addition, she also pleaded with her father, in front of Oswald, to take her life as well if he takes the ring from her. -Fighting ability- Her prowess is not to be taken lightly. In her book, not only she is able to invade Ringford by herself, which practically puts Melvin’s rebellion into shame, she also killed Odette, the Queen of the Netherworld. As a Valkyrie, Gwendolyn is able to glide in the air, after the double- jump, for a short period and execute a deadly dive attack, from air gliding, that can pierce. Its effectiveness increases with the monster’s size and many bosses, sub and main, in the game are large. *Gwendolyn excels in hit-and-run with the dive attack. In addition, Gwendolyn has a unique spell called shadow ally, which practically doubles her damage output for a short time. Combining it with Overload, a spell that increases damage, is a sweet combination to behold. Gwendolyn’s down attack makes her dashes forward a little and does a low stab. Gwendolyn’s up attack makes her throw her spear in a narrow arc. The last hit of her ground combo executes a bit slow. Average running speed to circle 1st map of ‘Forest of Elfrit’ = ~8.4 _________________________________ (SYNCORN) -Character Analysis- Cornelious is the son of Edmund, who is the current king of Titania. He is in love with Velvet, commonly known as the Forest witch. Despite his father’s objections, Cornelious prioritize love over duty, to the extent of threatening to abdicate his position such that he seems immature in the eyes of his eyes. The name of his Psypher sword is unknown, except that it is a patricidal sword, which is used to kill King Gallon. Something happens when Cornelious went to meet Velvet again and he wakes up to find himself in a strange environment. As if being in the Netherworld is not bad enough, he is cursed into a beast known as Pooka. He meets King Gallon, although Cornelious could only hear his voice, and receives a Psypher sword before Cornelious continues his journey to find Odette, Queen of the Netherworld. Cornelious deeply loves Velvet, even to the extent of running into a warzone to look for her; Attacking Mercedes when Velvet is hurt by an arcane bolt; charging into the Titania sewers to save Velvet who would be sacrificed to a dragon, etc. Due to the Pooka curse, Cornelious feels unworthy of Velvet. -Fighting ability- Despite being a Pooka, Cornelious effectively makes use of his small size and superior swordplay to vanquish his opponents. In his book, Cornelious killed Belial and even Wagner acknowledged that Cornelious could kill him. Cornelious has a special attack dubbed as the spin attack. The spin attack is not as strong as Cornelious’ aerial attack but can be more versatile in the hands of a capable player. The spin attack can bounce off enemies, destroy projectile in the sword’s path and the speed is dependent on the angle of contact and Cornelious’ initial inertia. However, the spin attack is a double-edged sword. Cornelious is still vulnerable to damage in this phase. Despite the spin makes his sword look like an impenetrable shell, it does not really spin at great speed so Cornelious always exposes more the half of his body to danger. Cornelious’ down attack is stationary and he swings his blade upwards. Cornelious’ up attack simply makes him swing upwards. The second last hit of his ground combo makes him swing downwards and has a slight post recovery time before he swing upwards for the last hit. It causes a juggling effect. Average running speed to circle 1st map of ‘Forest of Elfrit’ = ~8.45 _________________________________ (SYNMERC) -Character Analysis- Mercedes is a fairy and she is the daughter of Elfaria, Queen of Ringford. Compared to her cousin Melvin, Mercedes is seen to be impatient, immature and wilful. Mercedes’ true name is Yggdrasil. Mercedes’ Psypher bow belongs to her mother and is initially named ‘Tasla’. It is renamed by Brom later as ‘Riblam’, meaning ‘Piercing One’ in the Old Dwarf Tongue. It is the only Psypher that shattered another Psypher, namely Balor. During the war against Ragnanival, her mother died and the inexperienced Mercedes is forced to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of a Queen. To make things worse, her ambitious cousin decided that he is more fitting and staged a mutiny to overthrow her. Although Mercedes suffers from inferior complexity as she tries to live up to her mother’s reputation, Mercedes did mature as chapters unfold. Even though Mercedes feels great fear before the final battle, she bravely rallies her troops. In addition, rather than taking revenge after defeating Odin, Mercedes demands Odin to surrender to her terms, which are to never to show his face to her, set foot in Fairy Land and choose to remain forever in his northern lands. One of her favourite pastime is frog hunting, as frogs eat little fairies. After losing her Psypher bow while paying a visit to Beldor, a Wise Man, Mercedes’ fate becomes intertwined with a mysterious frog. With the promise of a wish lingering from their fateful encounter, the frog made major contributions that lead to Mercedes’ success. The frog is no ordinary frog but is a human prince cursed into the form of a frog and after the spell is broken, Mercedes fell in love with the young man. -Fighting ability- In her book, she defeated Odin and shattered Balor. In addition, she also defeated Oswald, albeit he was in a weakened state. Because of her lithe nature, Mercedes descends slowly after her jump. Mercedes is also quite fragile and cannot withstand much damage. On the other hand, the damage of her arcane bolt is top notch. Rather than a typical double-jump, Mercedes is the only playable character who is able to fly and being able to fly is a 2D side- scroller is a significant advantage. Because fairies generally rely on flying, Mercedes can only walk on the ground while the other playable characters run. Mercedes is the only character to attack at far range and three types of ranged shots are available. The normal shot can be released quickly while the down shot is a piercing shot that travels along the ground, which also knocks down enemies in its path. Her last is a charge shot, which consumes a lot more POW but releases several arcane bolts, which have some homing ability. The charge shot can be charged while moving. *One tip of abusing charge shot is to use it instead of a normal shot when there is one POW bar left because POW cannot go below 0. The POW gauge also functions differently for Mercedes. While other Psyphers’ POW automatically recharges after a time lapse, the bow’s POW does not. The reload function is available only when POW is fully depleted and Mercedes is required to reload on the ground and in a stationary position. While other characters become dizzy when POW is depleted, Mercedes does not. Moreover, the reload function is not automatic so Mercedes can escape to a lower danger zone to reload before returning to the heat. *Learning when to abuse unlimited POW potion is the way for Mercedes. Average Flying speed to circle 1st map of ‘Forest of Elfrit’ = ~10.05 Average walking speed to circle 1st map of ‘Forest of Elfrit’= ~12.5 _________________________________ (SYNOSWA) -Character Analysis- Oswald is the son of Edgar, who is the brother of Edmund, and is the adopted son of Melvin, who found him abandoned. Oswald is greatly feared by many on the battlefield and is known as the Shadow Knight. While he is a member of Ringford, he serves only Melvin and is dedicated to his foster father. Oswald’s Psypher sword is known as the Belderiver. It power is gained from a contract made by Melvin, which traded Oswald’s life for the power of shadow. There are several turning points for Oswald. Hindel’s words, seeing Gwendolyn during a spy mission, Melvin’s confession and Odin’s offer. In the early chapters, Oswald dedicated his life to serve Melvin, regardless the price, until he hears Melvin’s confession. From that point onwards, Oswald had little tolerance towards those who use others as objects. Betrayed and devastated by Melvin’s confession, Oswald crumbles under the overbearing gloom of despair until he sees a blue bird. Envisaging Gwendolyn as his glimmer of hope, Oswald committed many deeds to have her by his side. The deeds range from killing Wagner to win her hand, beating up Onyx for stealing her and killing Skuldi for belittling her. However, his love is more than simply obsession or infatuation. When he first hears of the sleeping spell’s side effect, Oswald refrains from waking Gwendolyn up. In addition, when he hears the truth about the sleeping spell, Oswald is relieved as Gwendolyn’s love cannot be compelled, only given willingly. -Fighting ability- Oswald is one of the most, if not the most, feared warriors on Erion. He is victorious even against powerful beasts known as dragons. In his book, he killed Hindel and even Wagner. In addition, he triumphs over Onyx, the Inferno King, as well. Oswald’s foundations are strong, boasting high damage and high defence capabilities. In addition, he has the furthest double-jump capabilities among the three. True to his title of Shadow Knight, Oswald can turn himself into a shadow using Shadow Form. In Shadow Form, Oswald deals the highest damage per hit among all characters and by a significant margin. However, Shadow Form depletes POW at a high rate, putting Oswald at risk of being stunned after executing a complete combo. Even with unlimited POW potion, Shadow Form lasts longer for 2-3 combo sequences rather than negating its side effects. *Using Shadow Form effectively is a key to victory. On a minor note, Oswald gains [Cyclone] quite late, which affects his mob clearing efficiency in 4/5 star maps. Oswald’s down attack has two attack phases. Like Gwendolyn, he also dashes for a short distance with a low stab and then swings upward for a second hit. Also causes a juggle effect. Oswald’s up attack simply makes him swing upwards. During his last attack in a ground combo, Oswald jumps and then executes a diving attack. This can be advantageous or disadvantageous, depending on the situation. During his last attack in an aerial combo, Oswald executes a diving attack. This can be advantageous or disadvantageous, depending on the situation. Average running speed to circle 1st map of ‘Forest of Elfrit’ = ~8.35 _________________________________ (SYNVELV) -Character Analysis- Velvet is one of the remaining human survivors of the once-mighty Valentine Empire. She is the twin sister of Inway, the daughter of Odin and the granddaughter of King Valentine. In other words, she is a princess of two nations. The name of her Psypher chain is Graveryl. Velvet has lived a traumatic childhood. She is frequently punished by her grandfather, has seen her nation destroyed and even ‘cursed’ by her mother. Quoting the note, “an inevitable curse and death shall be thrown upon the two of you.” In hope that she can avoid the fate prophesized by her mother, Velvet went in search of Hindel. Instead of satisfying her query, Velvet leaves Horn Mountain even more puzzled and begins collecting the Erion Saga. Velvet’s fate is deeply entwined with the Cauldron and the ring of Titrel. She is attacked by Mercedes for stealing the ring of Titrel, captured by the Aesir for deactivating the Cauldron, raided by goblins under King Valentine’s orders and almost sacrificed to Belial by the Three Wise Men. Velvet also loves Cornelious and is unaffected by his physical appearance. When she learns that Cornelious is the Pooka that saved her, she immediately sets off to find him. Even after several millennia, Velvet’s love for Cornelious is eternal. -Fighting ability- Although she is physically the weakest among the five playable characters, she uses her Psypher chain rather innovatively. Although she did not kill any powerful enemies in her book, she did defeat Inway in the form of Darkova, a powerful 3-headed beast. With the use of her chain, Velvet can execute something illogical while in air by pressing the jump button after the double-jump. Latching one chain end onto the air, Velvet does a chain swing in the direction she is facing. This defensive maneuver can be useful in certain situations. One of Velvet’s selling points is her charge attack. It has an attack range of several screens, has autohoming ability and has great damage. With this, Velvet is able to attack a large size mob from a distance. It does have its drawbacks. The POW cost is approx. half the gauge, Velvet is required to be stationary while charging and the charge attack requires some time to charge. *The charge attack is a great substitute for [Cyclone] in low star maps. Velvet’s up attack is a little weird. It has a short activation time before the chain ends spiral upwards to do a multi-hit attack. Its anti-air capability is one of the best. Velvet’s down attack makes her throw a chain end and sweep it upwards, causing a knockdown effect.

However, Oswald is never shown a loss in the game during his peak, which ends after point 25. -------------------------------------- Non-Playable Characters (OSNPC) -------------------------------------- This section is for characters that are not playable but important enough in the game. (NPCBELI) (NPCELFA) (NPCGALL) (NPCHIND) (NPCINWA) (NPCMELV) (NPCODET) (NPCODIN) (NPCONYX) (NPCGALL) (NPCGALL) (NPCWAGN) Warning: Interpretations can be subjective. _________________________________ (NPCBELI) -Character Analysis- Belial is a pitiful dragon whose soul is stolen by Beldor and thus enslaved by the Three Wise Men. It fervently desires undisturbed peace. However, it is frequently forced by its masters to commit many atrocities, such as staying in damp sewers to devour sacrifices. Belial’s heart is pierced by Cornelious in C7-4 and during its last living moments, Belial devours Urzur in revenge. _________________________________ (NPCELFA) -Character Analysis- Elfaria is the Queen of Ringford and leader of the Vanir. She is noted to be beautiful and her true name is Fimbulvetr. She is the Mother of Mercedes and aunt of Melvin. She is the owner of the Psypher bow, Tasla, and the ring of Titrel, which is given by Inway. She is a wise ruler and with the Cauldron’s power, she succeeded in unifying the fairies and unicorns, previously existed as small tribes, to form the country of Ringford. Ringford is now considered an equal with the other two nations of Erion. Unfortunately, Elfaria dies in point 30, after she is attacked by the Demon Lord’s Psypher. _________________________________ (NPCGALL) -Character Analysis- Gallon is the former king of Titania, succeeded by his son, Edmund. He has two sons, Edmund and Edgar. Gallon disowned Edgar after the latter felt in love with a woman of low social status and had him assassinated later, in fear of retribution. Via a secret rite, Gallon gains the ability to turn into a 3-headed demon beast, which is powerful enough to deter King Valentine from conquering Titania in the past. However, the power of Darkova is flawed and he rampaged for seven days before he is slain by his son, Edmund, using a Psypher sword. For unknown reasons, Gallon took the Psypher sword to the Netherworld, in which he passed to Cornelious years later. Gallon found no peace even after death. He is constantly plagued by the Three Wise Men, who seek to free him from his chains. In addition, Odette cast a curse of immortality on him, which forcibly regenerates him, in hope to torment him indefinitely. Gallon yearns for “the light of life” but only one descended from Titanian royalty bloodline can kill him. Gallon only finds salvation if he is defeated by the “shadow of the lost master”, Oswald. _________________________________ (NPCHIND) -Character Analysis- A dragon with the ability to prophesize and speaks in the way where humans and fairies tend to misinterpret. Its purpose in the game is to influence Oswald and Velvet’s subsequent actions in the game. Hindel is killed by Oswald in O1-1. _________________________________ (NPCINWA) -Character Analysis- Inway is the prince of the lost Kingdom of Valentine. He is the twin brother, son of Odin and the grandson of King Valentine. Inway is a mage who is able to transform and can cast the dreaded Pooka curse. Inway loves his sister Velvet and is jealous of her affection for Cornelious, to the extent that he casted the Pooka curse on Cornelious. Inway also grieves of his lack of power to protect his sister when she was disciplined by their grandfather. Inway leads a miserable life, as he is completely convinced that they are damned by their mother. Quoting the note, “an inevitable curse and death shall be thrown upon the two of you.” Adding to his misery, at one point of time, he is cursed into the form of a frog and to break the curse, he has to tail after a wilful, spoiled fairy. In addition, the power Inway sought from the Three Wise Men has several side effects. The power of Darkova is flawed and it turns even pain, be it emotional or physical, into pleasure. Inway lusts even for his sister’s blood, even though he consciously acknowledges the vileness of the act. The second side effect is that Darkova can be controlled via a spell, which the Three Wise Men successfully researched, and Inway is forced by Beldor to kill against his will. Despite his miserable existence, Inway does show a hint of affection for Mercedes with his dying breath in some point sectors. As predicted by his mother, Inway dies in the book ‘Armageddon’. _________________________________ (NPCMELV) -Character Analysis- Melvin can be considered a prince, as he is the nephew of Elfaria. More importantly, he is considered mature and a brilliant tactician by Ringford denizens. He is the foster father of Oswald. His true name is Nidhogg. Melvin is ruthless and ambitious. He is willing to trade the life of others for power, as he had made a contact with the Halja for Belderiver’s power in exchange for Oswald’s life. His ambitious nature surfaces several times, while Elfaria is alive, and manifests completely when he decided to stage a mutiny, soon after Elfaria died. Although Melvin treats Oswald like a pawn during the game, he did once have another feeling for Oswald when he found him abandoned as a baby. Melvin dies in point 40, after suffering critical wounds from the suppression forces. _________________________________ (NPCODET) -Character Analysis- Odette is the Queen of the Netherworld and the master of Oswald, who is promised to be hers, for eternity, via a contract formed by Melvin. Odette is the bridge that connects the Netherworld with the living. Therefore, when she dies, the only way to enter the Netherworld is to accept death. Looking from another perspective, Odette is the reason why the dead can return to the living world, even if they are killed many times. Odette loves her jewels and hates Odin, a petty jewel thief. This is because the jewels are formed from phozons, the essence of life. By stealing the jewels, it is tantamount to disrupting life’s natural cycle. Being the Queen of the Dead, Odette harbours discriminations against unwanted visitors and creatures that defy the natural order. For example, Odette tries to imprison Mercedes and Velvet for barging into her Queendom. For creatures that defy the natural order, namely the Pooka, Odette sends her minions to torment them indefinitely. Odette dies in V7-6a, by the hands of Gwendolyn. _________________________________ (NPCODIN) -Character Analysis- Odin is the ruler of the northern lands, leader of the Aesir and king of the Ragnanival nation. Odin is known as the Demon Lord. He is the father of Gwendolyn, Griselda, Velvet and Inway. Odin has gained his tremendous power by drinking the blood of Wagner, a dragon, and because of this, he cannot harm Wagner. Odin carries the Wicked Eye, Balor, which is considered the most powerful Psypher. Its size is humongous, as it is even bigger than any playable character. Odin made it specifically to handle the prophesized invasion by the Netherworld. Odin started a war with the Vanir, in order to control the Cauldron. His true motives is to be one of the two ‘crownless lords’ stated in the prophecies. Although Odin may seem cold-hearted, he is tormented when he has to choose between duties as the king and feelings of a father. For one, when Odin is being cajoled to execute Velvet, Odin hesitates. Even though Odin can easily take the ring of Titrel from Gwendolyn, he did not do so after Gwendolyn pleaded with him. Odin dies in the prelude of Armageddon when the Netherworld invaded. _________________________________ (NPCONYX) -Character Analysis- Onyx is the king of the Fire Kingdom and ruler of the Vulcans. Onyx is known as the Inferno King. He has the power to transform. Onyx is infatuated with Gwendolyn and does not care what methods are used to obtain her. As long Gwendolyn stays by his side, Onyx is even willing to let her sleep for eternity. This is because he knows Gwendolyn will not love him and will be frightened by his true appearance. If he meets Gwendolyn in [Firestorm], his love and hatred for her explodes beyond his control. Onyx hates Oswald for stealing Gwendolyn and for humiliating him. Using the promise given by Oswald, Onyx sends Oswald to his demise and deliberately waits even when there is no news of his return after some time. When Gwendolyn attempts to rescue Oswald, Onyx sends his Vulcans to interfere. Onyx is one of the five prophesized disasters and he cannot be killed except by the world tree, which exists only in myth. So he thought, as he ravaged Ringford in the book ‘Armageddon’. Onyx can only be defeated by Mercedes. _________________________________ (NPCGALL) -Character Analysis- Urzur, Beldor and Skuldi are the Three Wise Men. They know a lot of magic and have great influence on several Erion nations. Their stronghold is in the sewers of Titania nation. Rather than being wise and sagely, their true nature is three power- hungry and manipulative wizards and they are trying to control Armageddon directly. Beldor is cursed into a Pooka in M4-6. Urzur is killed by Belial in C7-6a. Skuldi is killed by Oswald in O6-6. _________________________________ (NPCGALL) -Character Analysis- Valentine is the king of the lost kingdom of Valentine. He is the grandfather of Velvet and Inway. He deeply loves his daughter. The kingdom of Valentine had more advanced magic and technology than any other nation. Not only were they prosperous, the kingdom also rapidly controlled over two-thirds of the land. In his benevolence, Valentine even infused his magic into the coins so that all may share it. Valentine’s love for his daughter is to the point of obsession. When his daughter fell in love with Odin, he felt betrayed, feeling that his daughter no longer loved him, and his love gradually turned to hatred. Valentine even forced his grandchildren to abandon her and eventually killed her in anger. While the war between Aesir and Vanir in the game was constantly in a deadlock, Valentine’s efforts to expand his kingdom were astounding. Valentine failed to conquer Titania completely only because of the power of Darkova. Against the Aesir, Valentine’s army were overwhelmingly advantaged and at the brink of victory, a catastrophic disaster occurred and the “once-prosperous nation was utterly demolished”. Subsequently, Valentine lost his reputation and dignity, as well as cursed into the form of Pooka, and all this happened because of a traitor. Due to the Pooka curse, Valentine is unable to find rest and his tormented soul drives him to seek oblivion, even if he has to bring the world with him. Valentine is destroyed by Leventhan in the book ‘Armageddon’. _________________________________ (NPCWAGN) -Character Analysis- Wagner is a dragon and it bears a lot of hatred towards humans and fairies. Snatching Belial’s soul, stealing dragon eggs and killing Hindel are grieves Wagner said.

The Erion Saga - 6 THE ring shall be lost THE birthing cry of newborn souls WELCOMING two crownless lords that shall survive the Armageddon and lead the revival 07. Ancient Manuscript The beast of despair feeds on man and destroys hope. The unleashed frenzy of death yearns for the light of life. The advancing inferno scorches the throne’s surroundings. In the Cauldron that breathes despair, the blood of the ancients boils. When Leventhan, last of the dragons, devours the stone of blood, the path shall be closed and void will cover the world. - ‘Prophecy of the End’ 08. Mother’s note - 1 My dear children, Eventually an inevitable curse and death shall be thrown upon the two of you. The Cauldron brings us Armageddon with its final crystal stone. 09. Mother’s note - 2 My dearest son, more precious than life: You have your mother’s forgiveness. My daughter, go without hesitation and let your mother’s love grant you courage. My father, your daughter’s love remains unchanged, always by your side. To the one who will cause the world harm, I pray that your soul will heal 10. Krois’s Memo – 1 Saga Psalm 2 ‘A FIERY 6-eyed beast spreads the guiding hand of salvation The one who removes the torment is mine own son’ The ‘6-eyed beast’ must be Darkova, the three-headed Demon Beast. This section is based on a prophecy by a great king of Titania. Therefore, ‘The one who removes the torment is mine own son’ is thought to refer to the bloodline of the Titanian royal family. And if the beast ‘feeds on man’, then most likely no human can defeat it. But it’s unthinkable that a non-human would be king of Titania… Unless, of course, he is as cursed as we are and is no longer human. 11. Krois Memo – 2 Saga Psalm 3 ‘ONE that threatens the darkness is the shadow of the lost master’ Prophecy 2nd phrase ‘The unleashed frenzy of death’ Something seems odd about these phrases. Odette, Queen of the Dead, has no master. If the ‘Lord of the Netherworld’ is not Odette, then what being can emerge from the Netherworld? Only King Gallon, who is chained in the Netherworld, comes to mind. Will he lead the army of the dead to his own country…? Having read the Psalms based on this theory, the ‘late master’ is Odette, and the shadow that threatens King Gallon is…the shadow of Odette? I’ve heard that there is a swordsman who bears the shadow of death in the Fairy Kingdom, but could that be…? 12. Krois’s memo – 3 Saga Psalm 4 ‘THE looming blaze cometh, burning down the forests THE flood of fire that man cannot withstand is halted by the world tree and vanishes’ Evidently, King Onyx’s army from the Fire Kingdom will sweep the land at Armageddon. The Saga states that mankind cannot resist, but ‘the world tree’ destroys the army. Yet, this ‘world tree’ exists only in myth. There is no such tree in the world. The second clue is in the prophecy: ‘Scorches the throne’s surroundings…’ Does that mean that the throne itself does NOT get scorched? If so, it could be suggesting that the one on the throne is able to face the flames… 13. Krois’s Memo – 4 ‘The Cauldron’ is of course THE Cauldron. When the Princess’s efforts are in vain, the nightmare repeats and the Armageddon will begin. So, our king will trigger it. ‘THOUGH blades and arrows are unleashed, the flooding fire cannot be stopped IT can only be chained’ The weapons that can destroy the Cauldron are Psyphers, and something that is not a blade nor an arrow can ‘chain’ it. We are newcomers to this land, so we are not of the ‘ancient blood’. The one who controls the Cauldron is a Valentinian who holds a Psypher made of chains. In other words, this must be Mistress Velvet. 14. Krois Memo – 5 If the baby dragon Master Cornelious saw is Leventhan, as the king said, then it will be an eternity before it matures and devours the world. It is written that the dragon’s growth is slow, yet inevitable. Saga Psalm 5 BORN in chaos and fire SLEEP in mother’s arms What is the ‘mother’ that puts the Lord of Snakes to sleep? With the dragons Hindel, Wagner, and Belial gone, it is unlikely that the mother is a dragon. Then what is the mother in the Psalms? In the Prophecy, the phrase ‘devours the stone of blood’ can be taken to mean a red magic stone created in the Cauldron. Even if Leventhan can be stopped by the red stone, the Armageddon cannot be stopped. The Demon Lord must have made Balor in anticipation of this. 15. Krois’s Memo – 6 Saga Psalm 6 ‘WELCOMING two crownless lords’ The last psalm explicitly states that the world will be revived. The Demon Lord and the Magi have taken this to mean that whoever survives Armageddon will become the new king of the world. The Demon Lord wrought victory through wars, and the mages tried to control the Armageddon directly. Yet, they were all mistaken. The two lords that survive will be chosen from the five challengers of the disasters. 16. Krois’s Memo: Final The two lords are said to be crownless. I suspect that ‘lord’ is not meant to suggest royalty, but something else. Finally, here is the conclusion and my findings. This is conjecture, but from Psalm 5: ‘LIFE disappears from the land ALL comes to an end’ One can only imagine a barren world, with a tiny population. By ‘crownless lords’, could this mean the ancestors of mankind in the New World? If so, it will by necessity have to be two humans, a man and a woman. Then we can presume that the mother in Psalm 5 can be understood as: “The one who defeats Leventhan becomes the mother of the New Word…” Everyone other than the two humans will perish. How can this be in any way considered salvation? I hope that I have misunderstood the prophecies. 16. Wise Men’s Prophecy There is a theory about the prophecy of the Armageddon, left behind by the Three Wise Men. The following pages are an excerpt from this literature. “…via a secret rite performed by the now-lost Valentinians, King Gallon has turned into the 3-headed Demon Beast. As in the prophecy, King Gallon will save the world.” The ‘Lord of the Netherworld’ in the Saga is Queen Odette. The ‘looming blaze’ is the Inferno King Onyx. If the King of Titania releases his mystic power, overpowers the other nations, and seizes the Cauldron, the Netherworld and the Fire Kingdom will go to war, the three great dragons will be eradicated, and the End shall come to us. But fear not. The world will be saved in the end by the arrival of a new king, led by a guiding hand…” The original manuscript written by the Three Wise Men cannot be found. It must be mentioned that their theory is only an assumption based on the prophecy. _________________________________ (TXTNOTE) 01. Psyphers Weapons crafted with rare magical crystals are called Psyphers. Unlike normal weapons, these weapons have the ability to ‘grow’ and become more powerful. * By pressing R1, the Psypher user will attempt to absorb phozons * When enough EXP is gained from phozon absorption, the Psypher gains a level and becomes more powerful. 02. Psyphers Part 2 By absorbing Phozons, the weapon’s attack is enhanced. Also, it is said that the absorbed Phozons can be used to cast various magic spells. * By gaining sufficient levels, the Psypher user can cast more spells. * The spells gained are dependent on the Psypher. 03. Seeds & Cultivation Seeds absorb Phozons and produce fruit when planted. The amount of Phozons required to ripen fruit varies, but the more a plant needs, the better the fruit. Fruit will turn overripe when left on branches for too long. It is recommended that you pick fruit as soon as it ripens. * The time needed to overripe a fruit on a branch does not overripe a fruit on the ground 04. Mandragoras Mandragoras are mobile plants that come in various types and grow underground. They are commonly known for use as catalysts in magic as well as cooking. Mandragoras squeak when stepped on. Jump on the spot where you heard the squeak, and it’ll come out of the ground and start running. Just hit it once to capture it, * Be careful of Habaneristo as it can spew flame. 05. The Essence of Food Eating food heals injuries and helps strengthen the body (Increases HP level). Food becomes your own flesh and blood, replenishing vital energy. Those who eat healthy food will strengthen their bodies. Eating carefully prepared food enhances growth. Uncooked food takes more time to consume and digest. * Rotten fruits take more time to digest. 06. Spotting Butterflies Tales from long ago describe a mystical glowing butterfly. It is rarely seen and one is considered very lucky to encounter it. It is said that Phozons can gather together and materialize in the form of a butterfly. This butterfly can only be seen for a brief period of time. 07. The Art of War One must not attack haphazardly. You must mind your distance from the opponent, gather your power and attack swiftly. Avoid multiple enemies and fight one on one. Battles are not just about swinging your weapon. You must tend your wounds, use magic and items, and strengthen your weapon to truly take control of the battlefield. 08. History of Valentine The founder of the Kingdom of Valentine is said to have come to Erion in a flying ship from another world. At the time, Valentine’s magic was far more powerful than any other nation on the continent, and it rapidly gained control of over two-thirds of the land. One of their unique magics was the ability to make magic stones. With the Cauldron, a giant magical furnace, they had technology that enabled them to store magic power in stones. At the height of Valentine’s power, the once-prosperous nation was utterly demolished. Its cities were reduced to ash and the Valentinians vanished overnight. The cause of Valentine’s demise is still unknown, but the Cauldron was found in the centre of the decimation. Respected magi have speculated that the Cauldron’s power was released with destructive results. * Most Valentinians became Pooka or goblins 09. Valentine’s Fall From the memoirs of a proud soldier: Our once-mighty army, which could gain victory over even Titania, has been whittled down by the enemy, Valentine. With death our only companion, our warriors pushed forth without hesitation. We flung our axes high, fighting with valor to the bitter end. As if the heavens answered our prayers, there came a miracle. At the very brink of our defeat, the enemy forces were demolished in a single explosive flash of light. * Memoir is written by an Aesir soldier. 10. History of Ringford Until a relatively short time ago, the fairies and unicorns were not a united country, but instead existed as small tribes spread through the forests. Shortly after the Fairy Queen Elfaria gained control of the Cauldron, the country of Ringford showed accelerated growth and established themselves as a military power. Ringford is now considered to be equal to the other two nations of Erion: Ragnanival in the north and Titania in the east. 11. The Economy of Erion Erion has no standard currency. Instead, the five types of coins used by the various nations are accepted across the continent. Titania mints gold coins from their abundant gold mines, while Ragnanival uses silver coins that have little value due to the poor quality of silver they contain. Coins from the lost kingdom of Valentine are widely accepted and have high values. Three types of coins were minted and are said to have been enchanted. * Titania Gold is worth 10G. Ragnanival Silver is worth 1 G. Aerial coin is worth 5 G, Valentinian Gold is worth 10G and Commemorative Coin is worth 20G. 12. The Law of Titania 1. One who deals on the ‘King’s Main Street’ shall be fined. 2. One who deals without permission shall also be fined. 3. One who does not pay fines is beheaded. 4. One who complains about taxes shall be whipped and chained. 5. One discriminating against magic shall be placed in the stocks 6. Violence is punishable by death. 13. Alchemy In Erion, alchemic methods have been passed down through the ages. Alchemy is performed by dissolving various objects in special liquids known as Materials to create alchemy mixes. However, the alchemist must possess recipes to successfully create a mixture. * Known catalysts are Mandragoras, Troll Molar and milk. ** The resultant item is dependent on the Y factor of XY Material. 14. What do you get when mixing with other materials? Those pursuing theart should try it for themselves. One theory is that the Materials’ numbers are multiplied, and the resulting mixture becomes enriched with Phozons. * The amount of Phozons released is dependent on the X factor of XY material. 15. Chickens & Eggs Chickens of Erion are much more robust than other birds. Their eggs hatch without warmth, and chicks can grow into a chicken by eating only 3 seeds. Feed a chicken seeds and it will continue to lay eggs. Chockens are greedy and will attempt to eat all seeds on the ground, so be creful around them. * The egg placed by the character will become a chick after some time. ** After eating 3 seeds, the chick becomes a chicken. Every subsequent seed the chicken eats, it will lay an egg. *** The chick/chicken may fail to eat seeds in its path. This happens when the seeds overlap or are too close to each other. 16. The Origin of Sheep Depicted in the book of botany, Baromett, also called the Scythian Lamb, is an amazing plant that grows sheep instead of fruit. The meat that comes from these sheep is at least as good as that of a normal sheep that takes months to raise. 17. Treasure In battle, where one’s life is always in danger, many soldiers hide their valuables before fighting. Defeat your enemies quickly before they hide their treasure. 18. What are Phozons? Phozons are forms of energy used as a source of magic by sorcerers as well as elemental entities, like fairies. However, do not forget their beautiful shine is that of a creatre’s life, as Phozons only appear when a living creature passes away. _________________________________ (TXTINTE) Risk this at your own risk. Interpretations are highly subjective. --------Erion Saga-------- THE land sinks into the cauldron’s fire * When Valentine activated the Cauldron to drain Phozons from Erion, the ocean started to rise. The Fire Kingdom is the first nation to be affected, followed by Ringford. THOUGH blades and arrows are unleashed, the flooding fire cannot be stopped IT can only be chained * If the Psypher chain is not used in Epic battle 4, the furnace’s core will be damaged and the cauldron will explode, leaving only the psypher weapon intact within its blast radius. A FIERY 6-eyed beast speeds the guiding hand of salvation * Basically, the beast refers to Inway as he tells Velvet how to use the Cauldron to save the world. The hand of salvation then refers to Velvet. * On a minor count, Gallon is also a 6-eyed beast and Oswald is the salvation for Gallon and for the future. THE one who removes the torment is mine own son * Cornelious is a beast and Oswald is a nonhuman. Both are also of Titania royalty. ** Basically, this refers to Cornelious as he frees Inway from Beldor’s control. *** On a minor count, this infers to Oswald giving Gallon the salvation he seeks THE Lord of the Netherworld emerges in a triumphant march of death * The Lord of the Netherworld refers to Gallon ** The march of death refers to the Netherworld invasion. ONE that threatens the darkness is the shadow of the lost master * The darkness refers to Gallon ** The lost master is Odette *** The shadow refers to Oswald THE looming blaze cometh, burning down the forest * The looming blaze refers to Onyx. ** When the ocean rises and threatens to submerge the Fire Kingdom, Onyx started his invasion. ** Onyx razed Ringford to ensure he would not be defeated by the World Tree. THE flood of fire that man cannot withstand is halted by the world tree and vanishes * No character survives the battle with Onyx, fulfilling “fire that man cannot withstand”. ** Another name for The World Tree is Yggdrasil, which is Mercedes’ true name. ** Even though Mercedes also dies, she is the only character that succeeds in killing Onyx and stopping his invasion. THE Lord of Snakes consumes all left behind * “Lord of Snakes” refers to the fully-grown Leventhan BORN in chaos and fire * Leventhan is borne in the Fire Kingdom. It has also consumed the fire’s source, aka chaos. SLEEP in mother’s arms * Leventhan slept in the Cauldron, which acts as its cradle, before it becomes fully-grown. LIFE disappears from the land * Lots of people have died during Armageddon and only a few are left in the aftermath ** In the bad ending, only one is left before Mt Horn is submerged. ALL comes to an end * This refers to either Erion or Armageddon ends. THE ring shall be lost * The ring refers to the ring of Titrel ** Perhaps Valentine’s curse also destroyed the ring in addition to cursing Velvet into a Pooka. THE birthing cry of newborn souls * Phozons are considered the essence of life. ** In point 18, Chapter 1-1, phozons are drifting down while Gwendolyn and Oswald talk. *** Subsequently, both witness a miracle as the barren world is given new life. WELCOMING two crownless lords that shall survive the Armageddon and lead the revival * The crownless lords should refer to Oswald and Gwendolyn. * Gwendolyn is disowned by her father, although she does wear a tiara. * Oswald is of royal bloodline but his father is disowned by Gallon. --------Mother’s note-------- My dear children, Eventually an inevitable curse and death shall be thrown upon the two of you. * Inway is cursed into a frog and is again cursed when he obtained the power of Darkova, as even pain turns to pleasure. * Inway is shown to die in many cutscenes after Epic battle 1, even the one leading to the true ending. ** Velvet is cursed into a Pooka when she used the Cauldron to save the world ** Death cannot be avoided as a human. The Cauldron brings us Armageddon with its final crystal stone. * Valentine used the furnace’s core to provide phozons to Leventhan. ** By doing so, he sets the wheel of Armageddon in motion. ** Inway tries to stop Valentine and becomes the beast of Armageddon. ** Lust awakened by Inway’s transformation, Gallon marches out of the Netherworld. ** The absorption of phozons by the Cauldron causes the ocean to rise, forcing Onyx to begin invading inland to save his nation. ** If the Cauldron succeeds in draining all the phozons, life will end. ** Even when it fails, Leventhan, last of the dragons, will begin destroying everything with its breath of light. My dearest son, more precious than life: You have your mother’s forgiveness. * Inway hates his mother for cursing him and his sister * He also feels guilty for abandoning her. My daughter, go without hesitation and let your mother’s love grant you courage. * Velvet is so fearful of her mother’s curse, such that she went to Hindel to find a way to avoid her destiny. My father, your daughter’s love remains unchanged, always by your side. * Valentine felt that his daughter no longer loved him, after she fell in love with Odin. To the one who will cause the world harm, I pray that your soul will heal * This may refer to Gallon, in the form of cursed Darkova. ** It may also refer to Valentine, in the form of Pooka undead. *** It may again refer to Inway, in the form of Darkova. --------------------------------- F I N ------------------------------
