Walkthrough "Once upon a time, there existed a giant tree that was the source of all mana. A war, however, caused this tree to wither away, and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to take its place. Grieving over the loss, the goddess disappeared unto the heavens. The goddess left the angels with the edict: 'You must wake me, for it I should sleep, the world shall be destroyed.' The angels bore the Chosen One, who headed towards the tower that reached up unto the heavens. And that marked the beginning of the regeneration of the world." ---------------------------------o Sylvarant o-------------------------------- ___________________________________________ Iselia - The Village of Oracles --------------------------------- You'll start off in the classroom. The teacher, Raine (who is also Genis' sister), asks the students some questions about the prophecy so that you learn a bit about the main storyline. Meanwhile, a light will strike through the classroom, so Raine leaves for the chapel to see what's happening. Colette, who is the Chosen One, will want to come along, but Raine tells everyone to stay in the classroom. You now take control of Lloyd. Obviously, you're not going to stay in the classroom calmly waiting, so try to leave the classroom, but Genis will stop you. He will ask you to stay in the classroom like his sister said, and you can choose to go or to stay. Depending on your answer, some events will be different. If you choose the first answer, Genis and Colette will join you, then you'll head for the temple and the priest will die there. If you choose the second answer instead, the priest will come to take Colette to the temple, but will die right in the classroom. Whatever answer you choose, it doesn't change anything else than this, and you'll all go to the temple anyway. Before leaving the school though, once Genis and Colette has joined your party, examine the hole in the wall at the left of the chalkboard so that Colette will obtain the title of Klutz. When you're done, leave the school to find the village empty. Frank will tell you that the Desians invaded the village and the villagers are hiding from them. You now have to go to the Martel Temple so head north. You'll encounter a monster, which you have to battle as a practice. Simply press A to hit the enemy with Lloyd's sword. There'll then be another monster to battle. This time, press R to select the zombie and leave the ghost to Genis. Before going on, save your game at the save point (Memory Circle) just next to the school. Now you can leave town to the field. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Enemies: Wolf Giant Bee Rabbit Hawk Head east to Martel Temple. ___________________________________________ Martel Temple --------------- Items: Panacea Bottle Enemies: Zombie Life Bottle (x2) Spider Apple Gel Slime 250 Gald Ghost Golem After the cutscene (which depends on your answer to Genis' question at the beginning of the game), head upstairs to the Temple. The Desians are looking for Colette. You'll then have to fight two Desians soldiers and after this, a tough one. Vidarr HP 4000 Exp 115 TP 30 Gald 25 Atk 210 Def 21 Drops Life Bottle Weak -- Str -- Hopefully, Kratos will come to your help, making the fight easier. Then, Colette will go into the Temple with Kratos as her protector. She will insist that you come with her. Kratos will give you the Training Book. Inside the temple, 3 paths are offered to you. The left one leads to a dead-end, and the one in front of you leads to a sealed door, which you need the Sorcerer's Ring in order to open, so head for the right path. At the end of the path, go downstairs to a room with a transparent floor with holes. This is where the Sorcerer's Ring is, but we can't get it now. You will enter a battle with a Golem, and after defeating it, it will turn into a rock. Colette will accidentally push that rock in a hole, but that's ok, since that's what we need to do anyway. Now what you need to do in that room is fight the Golem and use the rocks to make them fall in the gaps below so you will be able to cross these gaps. Here's what the floor looks like: _______________ | _ _ _ | | |_| |1| |_| | | _ _ _ | | |2| |_| |3| | | _ _ _ | | |_| |_| |_| | |_______________| You'll need to throw two rocks into hole #1. The first rock will fall into the gap, while the second rock will fall on top of the first rock. You'll need to go down using the stairs, and push the second rock into the other gap. That way you can cross and get the Sorcerer's Ring. There is already a rock in hole #2 (the one Colette pushed), so you'll need to push another one through that hole. Then, go down and push the rock (which should be on top of the one that was already there) into the other gap at the left. Cross and open the chest for a Life Bottle. Two more rocks should go into in hole #3, then go down and push the one atop the other one at the right into the gap, and then cross to get the chest containing Panacea Bottle. When this is all done and you have the Sorcerer's Ring, go back up to the transparent floor and go upstairs using the stairs at the left. There you will find 3 chests containing Apple Gel, Life Bottle and 250 Gald. Now go back to the entrance of the temple, to the sealed door. Press X in front of it to use the Sorcerer's Ring. The door will open. Go in the Warp to access the top part of the temple. Colette will meet with her real father, who is an angel. He tells her they will meet at the next seal. After this cutscene, talk to all three party members. They will each leave, so get in the warp to leave yourself. You will meet Raine as you leave the temple, and since you're not supposed to be here, she is pretty mad. Now leave the temple and return to Iselia. ___________________________________________ Iselia - The Village of Oracles --------------------------------- (second visit) Items: Grapes All the villagers are back and the town is running again. Start by going in the school and talk to Rain. Genis will obtain the title Brotherly Love. Now go to the south part of the village (any of the two paths that lead south) and find the Shop. If you go around the shop you will find a passage behind that leads to the vineyard. Talk to the person with the beige hat and he will give you some grapes. Now, head for the east part of the town. Enter the house at the northeast, which is Colette's. After the discussion about Colette leaving for the tower to fulfill her role of the Chosen One to regenerate the world, you will receive the Collector's Book. Then, Genis wants you to come with him to his house. You can learn about cooking and will get some sandwich ingredients. After that, head for the gate south of town. The guards will tell you that your dog Noishe was trying to enter the village, and ask you if he's the one who wandered around the Human Ranch. Obviously no, so don't mind them and leave the village. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Enemies: Wolf Giant Bee Rabbit Hawk Go left and enter Iselia Forest. ___________________________________________ Iselia Forest --------------- Items: Apple Gel (x3) Enemies: Rabbit Orange Gel (x2) Giant Bee Life Bottle Spider Leather Glove Slime 500 Gald Minicoid Noishe will leave you here. Head right and go up the two first slopes, then go left and go down the slope there for a chest containing Apple Gel. Go back up and go right for another chest with a Life Bottle in. Then go up the slope at the left and Genis will tell you he has to go now. Save your game at the save point and head left to the Human Ranch. Go left to meet with Marble. Apparently, she has an Exsphere, but no Key Crest, which Lloyd tells she needs in order to be safe. Guards will then come so flee. You now need to find a higher place that will let you look into the ranch what's going on. At the right of the entrance is a cliff. Examine it to find a ledge into the side of the cliff. You will then be able to jump, so jump to that ledge, then to the other one and to the one at the right to find a chest that contains Orange Gel. Jump to the ledge at the left and a cutscene will occur where Lloyd and Genis make up a plan to save Marble. Genis will attack the soldiers, then you'll have to fight two of them. After that fight, Genis will return to the village while Lloyd needs to go home. So, save your game at the save point and head north. Continue north, then go left for a chest containing Apple Gel. Then go all the way right for another chest with Leather Glove, which Lloyd can equip. Go back down, and go right for a chest with Apple Gel, then cross the bridge below and you'll find another chest with 500 Gald. Continue north and go up the path to a clearing. Here, go right on the grass mound and left on the tree branch. Open the bag on the branch for Orange Gel. Now leave the forest. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Enemies: Wolf Giant Bee Rabbit Hawk Follow the path to Dirk's House. ___________________________________________ Dirk's House -------------- Go in the house, where your father awaits you. Lloyd will them him he needs a Key Crest for a traveling merchant, but his father tells him this is a lie (which is true indeed) so Lloyd has no choice but to tell him he did go to the Human Ranch. Lloyd's father is mad and tells Lloyd his mother was killed by the Desians, so Lloyd is mad too, and leaves the house. Outside he runs into Colette, Genis, Kratos and Rain. Colette wishes to talk with you, so accept. She will tell you she needs to leave on a quest with Raine and Kratos to go to the tower. Obviously, Lloyd wants to accompany them, since he wants to avenge his mother's death. Colette tells him they will leave at noon, so if he wants to come, he'll have to be at Iselia tomorrow. In the morning, Lollyd wakes up. Leave the house and go at your mother's grave to find your father. He will give you some items for your journey, along with the Sylvarant Map and the Key Crest you asked for. But, Genis arrives and tells you Colette has already left. She lied to Lloyd because she didn't want him to come along, since she thought it was too dangerous and she didn't want him to get hurt. Now you'll be at Iselia. ___________________________________________ Iselia - The Village of Oracles --------------------------------- (third visit) Go to Colette's house. She has left you a letter about the reasons of her departure without you. While talking with Colette's family, you hear a noise outside, so hurry out to find out the village is on fire. Go west and fight the soldiers in front of the school. The man will give you Orange Gel to thank you for saving him. Then, head south. The Desians are after Lloyd, so they burnt the whole village. You will then fight a mini boss. Exbelua HP 5000 Exp 280 TP 38 Gald 320 Atk 190 Def 10 Drops Panacea Bottle Weak -- Str -- After this, the monster will save you from the Desians. It appears this monster is in fact Marble. I assume this is the consequence of an Exsphere with no Key Crest. The Desians will then leave and the Mayor will banish you from the village along with Genis. Leave the village through the south gate where Noishe is waiting for you. You'll obtain the title of Drifting Swordsman. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Items: Ex Gem Lv 1 Enemies: Wolf Giant Bee Rabbit Hawk Near the village is now Nova's Caravan, where you can rest and save. Back on the field, head south. On the way, Noishe will pick up a letter you drop. It is a letter from your father, telling you about Ex Skills. Then, continue until you reach the House of Salvation. A guy here will tell you about Guidepost Monuments and Long-range mode. You can also rest in the inn for 100G and save at the save point on the second floor. When you're done, head back to the field and look for a chest containing Ex Gem Lv 1 northwest of the House of Salvation. As you approach the forest part near the cliffs, it will become visible. Then, head for the desert and enter the next town, Triet. ___________________________________________ Triet - The Desert Oasis -------------------------- (first visit) Desians have been putting wanted posters all around town, but we're still going to explore it. First, head for the inn. You can save your game here, then go upstairs to the second floor and look at the end of the hallway to find the Wonder Chef, who teaches you how to make Cabbage Rolls. He will also give you Cabbage and Pork for the recipe. Also, examine the wanted poster on the inn's wall. Now, leave the inn and head for the market place. You can buy several things, and one of the merchants asks you for a Beast Hide, which we'll get later. I suggest buying the new weapon available here for Lloyd and selling his old wood sword. Then, head north of the town all the way to the fortune-teller. Lloyd will ask her where Colette is heading for, but the fortune-teller asks 100G for the answer. If you want to continue on, you have no other choice but to pay. Once she gives you the answer, go back to the entrance of the town and try to leave. You'll get attacked by three Desians. Defeat them, but then Lloyd will be captured, while Genis escapes. ___________________________________________ Sylvarant Base ---------------- Items: Beast Hide Enemies: Foot Soldier Beast Fang Raybit Magical Cloth 1500 Gald You'll wake up in a prison cell with nothing but the Sorcerer's Ring. Try to hit the guard using the Ring (press X) when he passes in front of where you are standing. It isn't as easy a it sounds, you're going to need a well timed shot. When you hit him, he will run away and the cell will open. Leave the cell and examine the one on your left to open it. Inside is a chest containing Beast Hide. Open the other cell for a save point. Then, head right and open the chest in the room there to get back your equipment. Continue right and you'll fight 2 guards. After the fight, enter the next room. When the guards leave, check the blue sphere to change the attribute of the Sorcerer's Ring to electricity. Now what you must do in this room is stun the enemies using the electric beam of the Sorcerer's Ring while they are standing on the blue pads on the floor. Each side of the room has one of those blue pads. When an enemy passes over one of them, shot it to stun it while it's on the pad. Then, repeat the process with the second enemy on the other pad. When both pads have a stunned enemy on, the door at the left will open. Go through the door and head left into the hallway. Then go down and fight the soldier there to receive a Memory Gem. Head down after this to a room with a chest containing Beast Fang. You can also buy some items using the distributor. Head back up and go left, upstairs to a new puzzle room. Here, you can use the Memory Gem on the Memory Circle to restore the save point. Now, there's a gamecube statue in the center of the room with 3 colored buttons around it. At the left of the room are 3 pillars also. By hitting the pillars with the Sorcerer's Ring, the buttons around the gamecube will rotate depending on the pillar you hit. If you place the purple button towards the purple one by the gamecube, the door south of the room will open. Inside the room is a chest containing Magical Cloth. Then, go back and place the green button towards the other green button to open the door at the north of the room. Go through and Lloyd will encounter some guards. Hopefully, he escapes in a room, but a mysterious guy is in there and furthermore, Botta will come in too. Colette and the rest of the group will then come to your rescue. Now, the party will fight Botta. _____ Boss ---- Botta HP 4200 Exp 475 TP 224 Gald 1500 Atk 205 Def 35 Drops Poison Charm Weak -- Str -- The fight isn't very hard since Kratos is with you now, so it shouldn't take too much efforts. Then, you'll be back in the desert, so head back to Triet. ___________________________________________ Triet - The Desert Oasis -------------------------- (second visit) You will all head for the inn. After a group discussion, Lloyd decides to repair Raine's Exsphere. Leave your room and head upstairs. You can go into Colette's room for a cutscene, then enter Raine's room and give her the Exsphere. She tells you that you can accompany them on their quest as you wished. That's great news. Head back downstairs and save your game. After saving, head outside. The group decides they need to go to the ruins. Before leaving town though, go to the market and talk to the merchant who wanted some Beast Hide. In exchange for it, he will give you a Soft Leather and will make new armors from your old ones. Then, you can leave town and walk southwest to The Triet Ruins. ___________________________________________ Triet Ruins ------------- Items: Lemon Gel Enemies: Fire Element Apple Gel Fire Bird Life Bottle Fire Warrior Bracelet Scorpion Circlet Brown Pot Mumei Fake Stiletto Savory Spirit Bottle 1000 Gald As you enter the ruins, you'll get attacked by 2 enemies. Take them down, then Kratos will teach you self-defense techniques. Now head for the ruin. Raine will obtain the title of Archeological Maniac. Colette will then place her hand on the stone tablet, and the boulder blocking the entrance to the ruins will move away. Head inside. There are 3 doors you can enter from here, so it may seem a bit confusing, but it's not. From the entrance of the dungeon, head west to a door in the wall, but don't enter it yet. Head south and at the end of the hallway, you'll notice a chest covered with rocks. Shoot a beam from the Sorcerer's Ring to blow off the rocks, then open the chest for a Lemon Gel. Now enter the door here. You'll be in a room full of lava. Go to the left and defeat the enemy here for a Memory Gem. Now go up the nearby stairs and the party will notice a torch in the wall. Light it up using the Sorcerer's Ring. This will make a platform raise. Now, go down the stairs and go right. Light the torch here too to make other platforms raise. Leave this place since there's nothing more to do, and go back up the hallway. Enter the door that's west of the dungeon's entrance. You're in another part of the lava room. If you head up, you'll find two chests behind the wall containing Bracelet and Life Bottle. If you head down, there's another chest with Apple Gel. Now, move the big block and push it into the hole at the left. Also push the other block into that hole. You can now cross to the other side, where a torch is. Light it up to raise platforms, then go up the slope at the left. Thanks to the platforms you raised earlier, you can now access 3 chests. One contains Savory, and the two others contain Mumei and 1000 Gald. You got all there was to get in that room, so leave it and back in the main hallway, head north. There is a chest at the end of the hallway, but do not open it as there is a pretty tough enemy inside and you'll just end up dying fighting it. Enter the door at the left of the chest and head west all the way to a big block. Push it right, then down, and into the hole. You can now get the chest containing Stiletto. Also light the torch on the wall at the left of the chest to make some platforms raise. Go back to where the platforms just raised up, and go up the stairs there. Left of the save point is a chest with Circlet. Then, use the Memory Gem on the Memory Circle, and save your game. Make sure to choose the right 4 party members and to equip all the new weapons and armor you got in this dungeon. When you're ready, enter the Warp. _____ Boss ---- Ktugach Ktugachling (x2) HP 5000 Exp 628 HP 1500 Exp 60 TP 50 Gald 85 TP 180 Gald 15 Atk 300 Def 28 Atk 130 Def 40 Drops Red Quartz Drops -- Weak Water/Ice Str Fire Weak Water/Ice Str Fire This boss is pretty hard. If you have Genis in your party, make him use his water spell. Raine and Kratos will heal the party, and Lloyd will attack the enemies. Take down the 2 small enemies first, then take care of the big one. Don't be afraid of using your Apple Gels if necessary, and keep the Orange Gels to replenish Kratos and Raine's TP when they are low. Always keep an eye on HP. When the fight is over, Ramiel will appear and give Colette angel wings. She will also learn a new powerful technique. Now, your group must head to the east and cross the sea, so you'll need to find a ship to bring you there. Go back in the warp and leave the dungeon. Colette is not feeling well, so the party will set up a campfire for the night. Talk to Colette twice and she'll say she wants to go and take a walk. You'll then be back in the field. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Enemies: Scorpion Sidewinder Thief Return to Triet and Raine will receive the title of Sisterly Love. Also save at the inn and go back in the field. Now, head east into the desert and go left where you see some mountains. Enter Ossa Trail. ___________________________________________ Ossa Trail ------------ Items: Battle Staff Enemies: Bear Apple Gel Axe Beak Melange Gel Hawk Orange Gel Mandragora Fine Guard Archer Black Silver Thief Beast Fang Witch Ex Gem Lv 1 A voice will stop you as you enter the mountains. The woman wants to kill the Chosen One, but Colette manages to make her fall into a trap, thanks to her clumsiness. Nevermind, head up the mountain. Climb up, and when you arrive at a fork, go left for a chest containing Battle Staff, a weapon for Raine. Continue the climbing and once at the top of the mountain, open the two chests containing Apple Gel and Melange Gel, then save your game and head east. There'll be a chest on your way with Orange Gel. At the bottom of the mountain, you'll encounter that woman again. She still wants to kill you, apparently. _____ Boss ---- Clumsy Assassin Guardian:Wind HP 1800 Exp 200 HP 2000 Exp 250 TP 131 Gald 128 TP 400 Gald 250 Atk 247 Def 48 Atk 280 Def 38 Drops Holy Bottle Drops Magic Lens Weak -- Str -- Weak -- Str -- This boss can be hard, but if you gave the right orders to your party members, it should go fine. I suggest having Lloyd, Genis, Raine and Kratos. Like always, Raine and Kratos heal while attacking, Lloyd attacks and Colette can also attack with her new Angel Wings technique, and can also be the one using the items. Raine can also be a good attacker this time if you equipped her new Battle Staff. Keep an eye on TP and HP, and don't be afraid of using items. When she is defeated, heal the party and enter the mines via the hole in the mountainside. Go east at the first intersection, and then south for a chest containing Black Silver. Return to the intersection and head north. At the second intersection, go west and get the chest in the alcove. It contains Fine Guard. Then head north from the second intersection to enter a room with two chests a skull. Open the chests for Beast Fang and Ex Gem Lv 1. Don't try to fight the skull, you can't defeat it yet. You will have to come back later for him, when you are stronger. If you do manage to defeat it, though, you will get Yata Mirror. Leave the mines and go out on the field. You're now on the other side of the mountain. Head for the nearby village, Izoold. You can also find the Guide Monument for Izoold if you go north from the village. ___________________________________________ Izoold - The Small Fishing Port --------------------------------- Sleep at the inn and save your game. Now, enter the house at the right of the Katz's stand and look in the top-right corner to find the Wonder Chef. He will tell you how to make Rice Balls. Now, head for the port at the east of the village. Head for the docks and talk to Max, who owns a boat. He won't let you on though. Return to the village and enter the second house. Talk to the lady near the window, Lyla. Then talk to the man with the beard in front of the inn and go back to see Lyla. She will leave and head for the docks, so head there too. You'll find her talking to Max. She wants you to deliver a letter to Aifread in Luin. Max will have no other choice but to let you cross the sea with him. Set sail when you're ready. Note that you won't be coming back here before a while, so prepare accordingly. ___________________________________________ Palmacosta - The Port City ---------------------------- (first visit) After crossing the sea, you'll arrive in a big town, Palmacosta. Buy new weapons at the market, then head south of the port. On the way, Colette will hit a lady, resulting in her Palma potion falling on the ground. Colette insists that she'll buy another one to replace it. Head east and enter the second shop. Some Desians are causing trouble inside. The Palma Potion is selling here for a price of 1000 Gald, but there's a cheaper way to get one. Leave the shop and continue to the east part of the town. There'll be a small cutscene, then enter the governor building on your left. It appears General Dorr gave the Book of Regeneration to imposters that came before them. Oh well. Head for the church and talk with the pastor. Also talk to Chocolat at the church's entrance. Now, leave the church and enter the building at the right of the church. Examine the weird ball holder at the right of the staircase to find the Wonder Chef. He will show you how to make Omelets and will give you some Rice and Egg. Then, go in the doorway at the right. If you enter the second door in this hall, you can play a mini-game where Colette must be a waitress. If you do fine during the mini-game, you will get money and Colette will receive the title of Turbo Waitress along with a free Palma Potion. Now head to the second floor. Enter the first room of the corridor to study. Then, enter the second room to start the contest. Genis and Mighty will end up with the same result. Genis will then obtain the title of Honor Roll. Nothing more to do here, so leave and return to the west part of the town and hand over the Palma potion you got or bought to the lady. You will then find out that they are the imposters, so you'll need to follow them. Head west to leave the town. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Items: Magic Mist Enemies: Soldier Archer Giant Beetle Grasshopper Witch Woods Worm Follow the path to the east, and where the path splits in two, go left and cross the bridge. Continue to follow the path to the House of Salvation. Head inside and you'll see that woman who attacked you earlier. You now know that her name is Sheena. Leave that place and continue in the field. If you go northeast, you'll find the Guide Monument at the end of long part of land. Then, head north to the mountains until you arrive at Hakonesia Peak. Before going in though, head east and follow the mountainside until you find a chest with Magic Mist. ___________________________________________ Hakonesia Peak ---------------- Enter the house on the right. Koton wants you to bring him the Spiritua Statue in order to let you look at the Book of Regeneration, which he bought from the imposters. You can't get the statue now anyway, so head back to Palmacosta. ___________________________________________ Palmacosta - The Port City ---------------------------- (second visit) Head for the east part of town. The Desians are about to hang Cacao. Lloyd and the group decide to save her, so you enter a fight with Whip Master and Evil Sorcerer. The fight is really easy and shouldn't take more than 10 seconds. After all this, head for the west part of town. Talk to the person standing next to the entrance of Palmacosta and he'll ask you to escort him to Hakonesia Peak. Once there, you'll be asked to save Chocolat, who has been kidnapped by Desians and brought to the Human Ranch. So, head southeast from the House of Salvation to find Palmacosta Ranch behind a mountain. ___________________________________________ Palmacosta Ranch ------------------ Neil will tell you that Dorr has lead you into a trap. Choose to head back to Palmacosta since there's nothing you can do here for now. You can also find the Guide Monument for this part of the map south of the Ranch between some mountains. ___________________________________________ Palmacosta - The Port City ---------------------------- (third visit) Sleep at the inn, then go to the Governor's building. It is empty, but the guard blocking the access to the basement is now gone. So head downstairs to find Dorr and some Desians. It appears they turned his wife into a monster like Marble. His daughter then reveal she's an imposter, and you'll need to fight her. _____ Boss ---- Kilia HP 10000 Exp 500 TP 400 Gald 500 Atk 490 Def 65 Drops Heal Bracelet Weak Light Str Darkness Make sure you went to the inn before the fight, you're going to need all of your HP and TP for this fight. Colette's Angel Wings attack will deal the most damage, so stick with this technique and use Orange Gels to replenish her TP when it's low. Raine and Kratos should be part of the team as healers. Also use Apple Gels when necessary and try to avoid Kilia's major attacks. It's a pretty long fight, but eventually, you'll defeat her. After the fight, Dorr will give you a Card Key for the Human Ranch. He also gives you the password to enter: 3341. So head back for the Ranch to save Chocolat. ___________________________________________ Palmacosta Human Ranch ------------------------ Items: Apple Gel Enemies: Whip Master Orange Gel (x3) Bowman Melange Gel Raybit Life Bottle (x3) Evil Sorcerer Panacea Bottle Omega Shield White Silver Mage Cloak Ex Gem Lv 2 Talk to Neil at the entrance of the ranch. Then, go up the left path and enter the password Dorr gave you (3341). The ranch's door will open so go in. Inside, go left and then go in the northeast room and fight the enemy here for a Memory Gem. Then, go up the stairs at the right. In the room here, examine the white sphere to change the Sorcerer's Ring's function. It now acts as a radar and lets you see hidden things. Go back downstairs to the previous room and use the radar. You'll see some sparks that are in fact items. Look near the corridor at the left and in the corridor for two sparks and also another one right of the entrance. You'll get an Apple Gel, two Orange Gels and a Life Bottle out of this place. Then, head back upstairs. Use the radar again and the warp will become usable. Use it to reach a room with a save point. Enter the door at the left of the save point and one of the captives will give you the Blue Card. Now go back and enter the door at the right of the save point. In this room, if you use the radar, some blocks will become visible. Pull out the block in the top right corner to get an item, Mage Cloak. Then, push the block at the bottom right corner in the hole so you can pick up another item, Ex Gem Lv 2. Now, head right and with the radar on, examine the blue pillar and a bridge will appear. Cross it and go downstairs. Colette will find the Red Card. Go back across the bridge and push a second block into the other hole in the bottom right corner of the platform where you pushed the previous block to get the item. You can now cross to the other side. On this side, use the radar to find 2 items, Omega Shield and White Silver. Then, go to the blue pillar at the right and with the radar on, examine it to get another bridge. Cross this bridge and fight the enemy here to get the Purple Card. Then, examine the other blue pillar and another bridge will appear. Cross it and put the radar on to find another item, Life Bottle. Now, deactivate all the bridges before continuing, or you'll miss an item. After deactivating all the bridges, a new spiral bridge will appear in the center of the room. You'll need it later. Return to the room with the save point and use the Cards you got on the warp to activate it. Go in and you'll appear in a room with 4 paths and a warp in the center. Use your radar to find the yellow warps, and don't enter the red ones. Do this until you find the green warp which will take you to the room with the spiral bridge. Go up and use the radar to get Panacea Bottle. Then, go back to the room with the warps. Go back until you find the red warp and go in. Continue to go in the yellow warps then until you are in a room with 2 red warps. If you choose to go in the right one, you'll get some more items, but the real warp is the left one. You'll arrive in the room where Chocolat is hold captive. Free her, then follow her to the Control Room where Magnius is. After learning that Lloyd killed her grandmother Marble, Chocolat will let the guards capture her. They will then take her away and you'll get a Pass. Then, you'll have to face Magnius. _____ Boss ---- Magnius HP 8500 Exp 675 TP 120 Gald 1700 Atk 450 Def 65 Drops Warrior Symbol, Ex Gem Lv1 Weak -- Str Fire The fight isn't so hard, so defeat him. Now, leave the ranch and return on the field. Now all is left to do is to bring the Spiritua Statue to that old lag at Hakonesia Peak, so head for the House of Salvation. ___________________________________________ House of Salvation -------------------- Talk with the grand priest. He will accept to give you the Spiritua Statue, but then the other priest tells them that it's only a replica, he lost the real on during a pilgrimage at Thoda geyser. So, I guess we have no other choice but to go retrieve it back there. Head southeast from Palmacosta Ranch to find Thoda Dock. ___________________________________________ Thoda Dock and Thoda Geyser ----------------------------- Items: Mermaid's Tear Enemies: Starfish Life Bottle Octoslime Circlet (x2) Water Element Stun Bracelet Green Roper White Silver Float Dragon Orange Gel Ex Gem Lv 1 Enter the house and pay the girl 200 Gald to use the boats. You'll reach Thoda Geyser. Once there, go on the rocky mound at the right and look at the blue stone tablet. A bridge will appear to a cave in the mountainside. Inside the cave, go straight, then downstairs for a chest containing Mermaid's Tear. Head downstairs again, and go right for two more chests with Life Bottle and Circlet. If you examine the blue sphere here, you can change the Sorcerer's Ring's attribute to water, but don't change it yet. Keep the fire attribute. Now there are 2 paths to choose from at the bottom of the screen. Go through the first one (the left one). In this room, go down for a faded Memory Circle. Use the Memory Gem you found in Palmacosta Ranch to unlock it and save your game. Between the two columns at the right of the save point is a hidden passageway in the wall. Find it and go through to find two chests containing White Silver and Orange Gel. Also look behind the first column for a hidden chest with Ex Gem Lv 1. Now, go at the left in the room with the save point. There is a scale with a pot on it, and on each side, torches. Light up the 2 torches using the Sorcerer's Ring's fire beam. Then, go back to the previous room and go through the second path (the right one) at the bottom of the screen. Go downstairs in this room for 2 chests containing Stun Bracelet and Circlet. Also fight the enemy here for a Memory Gem. Then, head downstairs and go left all the way to the next room. Here, pull the big block and push it on the green square near the door. You'll hear a click sound. Now, go back to the room before the one with the save point and use the blue sphere to switch the Sorcerer's Ring's attribute to water. Now enter the room with the save point and shoot a beam of water on the pot that's on the scale. The door in the room below will shut up but stay open thanks to the block you moved under it. So, head for the room below, the one with the other scale. Shoot some water in the pot here too, and a platform will raise. Go back to the save point and save your game. When you're ready, head left to the platform which just raised and enter the warp. The water seal is here, and the boss too. _____ Boss ---- Adulocia Amphitra (x2) HP 10000 Exp 825 HP 2300 Exp 150 TP 248 Gald 765 TP 120 Gald 200 Atk 600 Def 55 Atk 475 Def 20 Drops Mermaid's Tear Drops -- Weak Lightning Str Water/Ice Weak Fire/Lightning Str Water/Ice This is a pretty hard fight. I suggest having Lloyd, Colette (no choice), Kratos and Genis in your party. You don't really need Raine. Having Genis in your party is important because he has this very powerful earth spell that will do around 500 damage to the enemy each time. Kratos will be the main healer, along will Colette who can use items. Lloyd will be the main attacker. You're going to need a lot of Apple and Orange Gels for this fight if you want to keep the HP and TP high. Take down the 2 small enemies first, then start attacking the boss. It should be ok as long as you have Genis attacking with the Stalagmite technique. After the fight, Ramiel will give Colette new angel powers. Then, leave the dungeon and you'll see the Spiritua Statue over some rocks on the other side of the water. Genis will freeze the water so you can cross, simply follow his directions. After getting the statue, Colette will feel bad again, so you'll set a campfire. In the morning, leave the geyser and return to Hakonesia Peak. ___________________________________________ Hakonesia Peak ---------------- Take the Spiritua Statue back to the old man and he'll let you have a look at the Book of Regeneration. You now know that the next seal is located at Asgard. You now have a Pass for the Peak (gotten in the human ranch) so head for the peak and the guards will let you through. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Enemies: Giant Beetle Grasshopper Velocidragon Dragon Rider Harpy Woodsworm Once on the other side of Hakonesia Peak, stop by the House of Salvation to sleep and save your game. Then, head southwest to Asgard. The city is located between some mountains. ___________________________________________ Asgard - The city of Ruins ---------------------------- (first visit) Here you can buy a lot of new weapons for your party members. When you are done with the shopping, head for the big stairway north of the town. Climb it up to end up at the city ruin. There will be a cutscene where guys try to blow up the ruin, but Raine will stop them (kind of). After the cutscene, head for the east part of the town and head upstairs. Enter the house at the right of the stairs. You'll learn that Aisha has been chosen to be the sacrifice for the demon. Head back up the stairs to the ruin and you'll meet the mayor. Raine will choose to take Aisha's place as the sacrifice. _____ Boss ---- Windmaster HP 10000 Exp 1325 TP 220 Gald 800 Atk 580 Def 85 Drops Map of Balacruf, Talisman Weak -- Str Wind This fight can be pretty tedious. Have Genis attack with the Stalagmite technique and have Kratos and Raine heal the party. Lloyd can use airborne techniques. Don't use any wind spell though, as the boss is the wind element. Use as much items as you need, and you may even need to use some Life Bottles as well. After the fight, you'll need to find Raine. You'll find her at Aisha's house. After the discussion, Raine will re-join the party and you'll get the Map of Balacruf. Leave the house and re enter it. Head upstairs to the second floor and look at the recorder next to the bed to find the Wonder Chef, who'll show you how to make Meat Stew. Then, leave Asgard and enter the field. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Items: Strike Ring Enemies: Soldier Archer Witch Warrior From the House of Salvation, head southeast and cross the bridge. Continue in direction of the mountains to find Balacruf. Before entering though, get the chest at the left of the mountains for Strike Ring. ___________________________________________ Balacruf Mausoleum -------------------- Items: Beast Hide Enemies: Arachnid Beast Fang Skeleton Iron Guard Harpy Blue Ribbon (x2) Gargoyle Ex Gem Lv 2 Wind Element 1800 Gald Go down the path at the left as you enter to find a chest containing 1800 Gald. Then climb upstairs to the entrance and Colette will open the door. Inside the dungeon, go right for a chest with Beast Fang. Then, unlock the Memory Circle using the Memory Gem you got at the geyser and save your game. The layout of the dungeon makes you think you have to light up all the torches inside, but it won't be necessary if you follow my directions. Head left, run over the spikes, and go up the stairs. Kill the enemy there for a Memory Gem. At the top, there are 2 torches (the second one is at the right of the wall) You can light them up with the Sorcerer's Ring if you wish. Then, push the block at the edge of the platform to make it fall down below. Go there and push the block onto the square on the ground to stop the wind. Now you can light up the torch that's at the right of the entrance. Now, go through the passageway with spikes on the walls. Then go up the stairs at the left and go all the way to a door with torches each side of it. Before going in there, head downstairs at the right and push the block there on the square to stop the wind. You'll find 2 chests if you go northeast (Iron Guard, Blue Ribbon) and another chest (Beast Hide) if you go south. Also light the torch here. Return to the door and light up the 2 torches. The door will open. Before going in though, head downstairs again and change the attribute of the Sorcerer's Ring to wind using the sphere in the alcove at the left. Then go through the door to a room with 5 small fans. You have to activate them in the right order to open the door using the Sorcerer's Ring's wind blow. There are also some hidden chests to get in that room. Here are the orders you have to hit the fans to get the chests and to open the door: Blue - Red - Yellow - White - Green will make the left wall collapse, with a chest containing Blue Ribbon Red - Green - Yellow - White - Blue will make the right wall collapse, with a chest containing Ex Gem Lv 2 Red - Yellow - Green - White - Blue will open the door to the boss room Before facing the boss though, I suggest you save your game. When you're ready, enter the room and be ready to face the dungeon boss. _____ Boss ---- Iapix HP 14000 Exp 1324 TP 88 Gald 2000 Atk 690 Def 100 Drops Paralyisis Charm, Spirit Bangle Weak -- Str Wind/Lightning The fight isn't too hard, just use the same strategy you used for the Windmaster. Have Colette, Genis, Kratos and Lloyd in your party. Genis uses his Stalagmite technique, Lloyd attacks, Kratos heals, Colette uses items and attack. After the fight, leave the dungeon but Sheena will stop you, resulting in another boss fight. _____ Boss ---- Resolute Assassin Guardian:Lightning HP 4500 Exp 300 HP 5500 Exp 250 TP 164 Gald 450 TP 400 Gald 250 Atk 500 Def 62 Atk 471 Def 46 Drops Dark Bottle Drops Fine Pellets, Magic Lens Weak -- Str -- Weak -- Str -- This fight is quite easy if you compare it to the one you just did, so it should be no problem. Simply defeat the guardian first, then Sheena. Now leave the dungeon and Colette will feel bad again, and the group will set a campfire again. There will be a cutscene with Lloyd and Colette. After that, head for the field. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Enemies: Soldier Archer Witch Warrior Cockatrice From the House of Salvation, head north until you find the village of Luin. You can also find the Guide Monument for Luin and Asgard if you go northwest from Luin. ___________________________________________ Luin - The city of Hope ------------------------- Also known as the city of devastation. Go northwest of the village to find injured Sheena. Raine will heal her, then Sheena will join your party. Finally! Head back for the field. Now, you'll have to go the Human Ranch, northeast of Luin, over some mountains. ___________________________________________ Asgard Human Ranch -------------------- (first visit) Items: Beast Hide Enemies: Spearman White Robe Evil Sorcerer Iron Bracelet Whipmaster Raybit As you enter the ranch, you'll fight some enemies. After this, Sheena and Raine will disguise themselves into Desian soldiers and infiltrate the ranch with the others as prisoners. Go right to find a chest with Beast Hide. Enter the base through the northern door. Go on to the next room and you'll see Botta. Then, Kvar will come too. In the next room, open the chest for a White Robe. Follow the pathway to the save point, then go left at the fork for another chest containing Iron Bracelet. If you fight the enemy here, you'll get a Memory Gem. Then head up and Kvar will show up again. After the cutscene, leave the ranch and enter the field. Go back to Luin. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Items: Technical Ring Enemies: Soldier Archer Witch Warrior Cockatrice Stop by Luin, then after the cutscene, return to the field and head northwest from Luin. Cross the bridge there and head right after crossing the bridge (kind of northeast) to find a chest at the land's edge with Technical Ring. Now, follow the dirt path from the bridge until you arrive at a path leading to the mountains. This is Hima. ___________________________________________ Hima - The Village of Adventurers ----------------------------------- (first visit) Enter the inn and talk to the lady standing in the stairway to learn the man you are looking for passed away. Then, enter the door at the right and examine the cauldron (or whatever) to find the Wonder Chef who'll teach you how to make Risotto. Then, head up the mountain to the graveyard. You'll learn that you can access the ranch from a passage hidden behind a boulder. You'll also receive the Desian Ore. Now, head for the very top of the mountain to learn about the dragon tour. Then, go back to the field and return to the Human Ranch. ___________________________________________ Asgard Human Ranch -------------------- (second visit) Items: Cleric's Hat Enemies: Spearman Pellets Evil Sorcerer Lamellar Leather Whipmaster Stun Charm Raybit Card of Earth Ex Gem Lv 2 Examine the boulder near the entrance to find the secret passageway. Then, you'll be ask to choose two party members to come along with you. I suggest picking Kratos and Sheena as Lloyd's party will be the one fighting the boss. You can use the refresher downstairs and the save point. Enter the door at the upper left corner of the room. In this room, you'll find three chests containing Cleric's Hat, Pellets and Lamellar Leather. Also examine the machine at the left and shut it down. Return to the previous room. Enter the door at the left of the save point. There, head left and examine the white sphere to change the Sorcerer's Ring's function. You can now fire a blast that has a longer reach. What you must do in this room is stop the conveyer belts. There are 6 control switches in the center of the room and you must shut down them in order to stop the conveyer belts. So, step on the 2 conveyers each side of the control switches and fire a blast using the Sorcerer's Ring. Hit the 6 switches and the conveyers will stop working. Now head for the top of the room and go up the stopped conveyer. You'll find a chest with Ex Gem Lv 2. Enter the next room. There is a save point here, but it's not really worth wasting a Memory Gem on it as there is a save point in the previous room. Now head for the warp and you'll switch to Raine's team. Go through the door at the bottom right corner of the room and head south. You'll end up outside of the ranch. Look at the right for a passage leading to a door blocked by some blocks. Push the first block right, then go behind it and push it back left. Pull down the next block, then push it to the left. Do the same with the remaining block to access the door. Enter the ranch. Go right, then north for a chest with Card of Earth. Examine the blue button on the floor and a door will open elsewhere. Enter the room on your left to free the prisoners. Then, head left again and leave through the door there. There'll be another chest here with Stun Charm. Examine the blue button here too to open another door. Head back inside the room where the prisoners were and leave through the middle door this time. Head for the 2 rooms that are now accessible since you activated the buttons. You'll have to fight Raybits, then the deactivation will be complete and you'll return to Lloyd's team. If you want to save before the boss fight, head back to the previous room and save. Then, go into the warp to access the boss room. _____ Boss ---- Kvar HP 10000 Exp 1680 TP 340 Gald 1500 Ath 410 Def 65 Drops Holy Ring, Ex Gem Lv1 Weak -- Str Lightning I found this fight to be terribly hard. I used about 10 Life Bottles and various healing items. My best bet for this fight it Lloyd, Kratos and Sheena, since you can't have Raine in the party, and Genis and Colette are a bit weak on the defense side. My only advice for this fight is bring a lot of Life Bottles or always keep the party at max HP. ___________________________________________ Asgard - The city of Ruins ---------------------------- (second visit) You'll now be in Asgard. Save your game and head for the ruin at the top of the city. The imposters are there. After the discussion, leave Asgard and return in the field. Head back to Hima. ___________________________________________ Hima - The Village of Adventurers ----------------------------------- (second visit) Simply head for the inn and you'll receive the Tower Key, which can open the door to the Tower of Mana, our next destination. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Items: Ex Gem Lv 2 Enemies: Soldier Archer Witch Warrior You can find the Guide Monument for Hima by going south, then east behind some mountains. Then, head for the Tower of Mana, north of Luin. Also get the chest at the right of the Tower (northeast) for an Ex Gem Lv 2. ___________________________________________ Tower of Mana --------------- Items: Armet Helm Enemies: Living Doll Moon Robe Living Sword Lunar Guard Specter Stinger Ring Grim Reaper Iron Mail Ex Gem Lv 2 (x2) Enter the Tower using the key you obtained in Hima. You'll have to choose a party member to come along with you. Choose Kratos as he can heal, since the other team will have Raine anyway. You'll be on a long stairway. Defeat the second enemy for a Memory Gem. Head atop the stairs for a chest containing Armet Helm. Enter the door at the top. You'll be in a room with a block. Stand in front of the door with the red cloth and burn it using the Sorcerer's Ring. A ray of light will come out. So, move the block in front of the light to duplicate it. Then, pull the block down until the light hit the sphere at the right. The door on the left will open, go through. In the next room, use the Memory Gem on the Memory Circle and save your game. Then, check up the thingy on the other side and you'll switch to Raine's team. Enter the next room. Burn the red cloth at the left so a ray of light will come out. Move the block towards it. Then, move the left to open the door. Go through. In this room are 3 chests (Moon Robe, Lunar Guard, Ex Gem Lv 2) and a pretty hard puzzle. Go at the left of the entrance and burn the red cloth so a light comes out. This puzzle is really hard to explain so I'll try my best. There are 4 blocks in this room, and 3 orbs. The blocks are kind of transparent, but have a grey corner at the top, each different. The block with the bottom right corner will be block #1. The block with the top right corner will be block #2. The block with the top left corner will be block #3. The block with the grey triangle will be block #4. [3]----()[2] | | | | | | | | ()--[4]--()---| | | | | L--------------[1] The L and -- represent the light. The () represents the orbs. The [ ] represents the blocks. Push block 1 into the light, near the wall to the right. Push block 2 between the northmost orb and the wall (to its right). Push block 3 to the left of the northmost orb, so the ray of light shoots down between the two orbs below. Then place block 4 between these two orbs so the light hits both. After this puzzle, save your game at the save point and enter the next room. There is a chest containing Stinger Ring. Then enter the room at the right and leave through the south door. Then run up the stairway and enter the door at the top. Go through the door at the left. There are 2 chests here, with Ex Gem Lv 2 and Iron Mail. Then, cross the bridge of light at the left and you'll switch to Lloyd. Save your game, then cross to the left and rejoin Raine. Step in the warp. _____ Boss ---- Iuabaris HP 16800 Exp 2650 TP 1500 Gald 2500 Atk 860 Def 80 Drops Brass Weak Darkness Str Fire/Lightning/Light This is a pretty easy fight if you compare it to the one with Kvar... Keep your HP high, use your best techniques... After the fight, Luna will ask you to find Aska. Colette will also learn Sacrifice. Now, head for the first room of the tower. Look at the library at the left to find Boltzman's Book. You'll need a unicorn horn to use it though. Head to the field and go to Lake Umacy over some mountains near Luin. You will learn that the unicorn is blocked at the bottom of the lake and that you need Undine in order to save it. Undine is at the Seal of Water, so return to the Thoda Geyser. ___________________________________________ Thoda Island Geyser --------------------- (revisited) Enemies: Starfish Octoslime Water Element Green Roper Float Dragon If you don't remember where the geyser is, cross back Hakonesia Peak and head for Thoda Dock. Crossing to the geyser will be free. Enter the dungeon and head for the room where you fought the boss. Undine will demand a fight before joining you. _____ Boss ---- Undine HP 13000 Exp 2110 TP 320 Gald 765 Atk 580 Def 88 Drops Guardian Symbol Weak -- Str Water/Ice Hard fight. Undine has an attack, Spray Attack, that will do a lot of damage. When you see her casting it, don't stay close to her as it's pretty easy to avoid if you're far. I suggest Lloyd, Kratos, Raine and Sheena for this fight. You'll surely need some healing items and Life Bottles so make sure you brought some. After the battle, you'll get Aquamarine. Leave Thoda Island and cross back Hakonesia Peak. Head back to Lake Umacy, near Luin. ___________________________________________ Lake Umacy ------------ Sheena will summon Udine to save the unicorn and you'll receive the Unicorn Horn. Raine will also learn Resurrection and obtain the title Grand Healer. Now, return to Hima. ___________________________________________ Hima - The Village of Adventurers ----------------------------------- (third visit) * From this point on, you won't be able to go back to previous areas, so make sure you did all the sidequests in Sylvarant, like fighting the skull at Ossa Trail (this sidequest is missable, so do it now). If you're sure you're ready for the second part of the game, continue on. Go to the second floor of the inn to find Pietro. Raine will heal him, then head for the top of the mountain for the dragon tour. After the cutscene, talk to Colette and choose the second answer. Then you'll get the Assassin's Ring. Head back for the top of the mountain and choose any party member to ride the dragon with you. ___________________________________________ Tower of Salvation -------------------- Colette and Kratos are already inside. Enter the tower and head to the warp. Colette will now transform into an angel, plus, you'll learn that Kratos lied to you and that Remiel tricked you. _____ Boss ---- Remiel HP 16000 Exp 2795 TP 258 Gald 1840 Atk 530 Def 112 Drops Ex Gem Lv1, Rune Bottle Weak -- Str Light The fight is not really hard, but you may need some Life Bottles. The main downpoint is that Kratos is not with you, but Raine can heal at his place. You will then fight Kratos and Yggdrasill, but you don't need to defeat them, just let them defeat you. (but you can still beat Kratos if you want) Kratos HP 25000 Exp 7600 TP 980 Gald 4800 Atk 1200 Def 400 Drops Ex Gem Lv4, Energy Tablets Weak -- Str Lightning/Light ___________________________________________ Sylvarant Base ---------------- (second visit) Items: Straw Hat Enemies: Evil Warrior Protect Ring Foot Soldier Ex Gem Lv 2 Raybit You will wake up at Sylvarant Base. Go right, then up, downstairs at the right to the next room. You can buy some items at the shop machine next to the door, then head right to the memory circle and save your game. Enter the next room and change the attribute of the Sorcerer's Ring to electricity. Go up the stairs to the next part of the room with some blocks on the floor. Push the 2 blocks in this room side to side on the platform surrounded by little pink lights on the floor. Place them horizontally so you can use them as a bridge to reach the grey block. Push down the grey block below, but don't push it on the blue square yet. Instead, push it against the wall at the right of the room to fill up the gap separating the ledge with the chests and the other one. Then, push the 2 other blocks between the platform with the stairs and the other one (just south of the blue square). Place them side to side to create a bridge. Now you can reach the 2 chests containing Straw Hat and Ex Gem Lv 2. Now you can push the grey block on the blue square and a stairway will appear. Also move back the 2 other blocks on the platform with the pink lights. Place them vertically, side to side. Now, use the new stairway to go downstairs to a new room. Go down to the left and shoot a beam from the Sorcerer's Ring on the electric pillar. Then, look at the machine nearby and push the switch. The platform from the floor above will come down. If you placed the 2 blocks correctly on it (vertically), you should be able to use them as a bridge to cross to the other side. There, shoot the pillar and examine the nearby machine to drain all the water from the room below. Return to the other side and push the grey block down below. Then, cross back and go down the stairs here to the room below. Push the grey block to the left on the blue square and the gate will lower. Shoot on the pillar here, then slowly go back upstairs and you'll see a chest hidden in an alcove at the back of the platform where the machine that you activated is. Open it for a Protect Ring. Head for the previously closed door that is now open and leave the room. You'll be in a room that feels familiar... Enter the door at the left, then go north to the hangar. You'll fly to Tethe'Alla, but will crash down on the way, on the summit of Fooji Mountains. ---------------------------------o Tethe'Alla o------------------------------- ___________________________________________ Fooji Mountains ----------------- (first visit) Items: Cool Orbit Enemies: Black Bat Card of Fire Night Raid Misty Robe Hare Black Onyx Ex Gem Lv 2 Go right to save your game, then down to the next screen. There, go left for a chest with Ex gem Lv 2. Head down the mountain to find 2 chests with Cool Orbit and Card of Fire. There's also a chest containing Black Onyx hidden behind the rock at the end of the path. Then, go down and then left for a chest with Misty Robe. Exit the mountain then. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Items: Anti-Magic Bottle Enemies: Black Bat Super Pellets Egg Bear Reverse Doll Rogue Night Raid Hare Before continuing, there are some chests to find on the map as well as a Guide Monument. First, there is a chest containing Anti-Magic Bottle if you follow the path northwest from Fooji Mountains. Then, there is another chest with Super Pellets south from Fooji Mountains, near a mountain trail. The last chest with Reverse Doll is located northwest from the path just before Meltokio city, in a hollow where the mountains are. It is in the forest part, so you won't see it, just walk around to find it. If you're still feeling like exploring, the Guide Monument for Meltokio region is southwest from the House of Guidance (follow the shore from Meltokio). Now, head for Meltokio, northeast from Fooji Mountains. ___________________________________________ Meltokio - The Imperial City ------------------------------ (first visit) Sheena will leave you there and give you a letter. Don't worry, she'll come back. The city is pretty big, but there's not a lot to do. There's an inn at the right of the entrance and an item shop at the left. Head upstairs. You'll meet Zelos. After the cutscene, you can go right for an armor shop, and left for a weapon shop. If you go left, there's also the coliseum, where you can look at the bulletin board on the right to add something to your training book. You can also find the Wonder Chef in the armor shop, disguised in cat statue at the left of the counter. You'll learn how to make Steak. I also suggest buying the Claw Gaunlet for Lloyd. When you're done, head upstairs to the castle. Go to the right to enter the rich part of the city. Enter the second house (well, manor..) and go to the second floor. Go to the left of the corridor to find another Wonder Chef, you'll show you how to make Fruit Cocktail. Then, go to the castle and talk with the guards. They'll tell you to go to the church, so head for the church at the left. Talk to the priest inside. Then, head back outside to find Presea. You'll get to enter the castle and Presea will join the party. You must go to the King's quarters, which are located on the upper floor of the castle. You'll have to go up 2 sets of stairs to find it. Talk to the guards in front and once in there, you'll learn that Zelos is a Choosen too. Now, leave the city and go to the field. Head for the Grand Thete'Alla Bridge and cross it. 2 hours later, you'll finally be on the other side... Head for Sybak. ___________________________________________ Sybak - The University Town ----------------------------- (first visit) Enter the library north of the entrance and look at the weird book holder to find the Wonder Chef to learn how to make Fried Rice. Then, go to the west part of the town and enter the Academy building. Colette will receive the title Ill-Fated Girl. After the conversation, leave the Academy (the exit is in the hall with the dinosaur) and return to the east part of town. Talk to the merchant at the left of the "shop" to get a key crest for Colette. Then, return to the Academy and talk to the guy in front of the entrance to borrow a lab. Enter the second room on the left, then leave it and return to the hall. Guards will take Raine and Genis away. Sheena will come to help you and she'll re join the party. You'll also get Tethe'Alla Map. Then, leave through the secret passageway and leave the town. Return to the Grand Tethe'Alla Bridge. ___________________________________________ Grand Tethe'Alla Bridge ------------------------- Fight the 3 easy to defeat Cardinal Knights to save Raine and Genis, then head back for the Fooji Mountains. ___________________________________________ Fooji Mountains ----------------- (second visit) Enemies: Zombie Ghost Slime Demon Chimaera Head for the top of the mountain. Save your game, then there'll be a cutscene and a boss. _____ Boss ---- Pronyma HP 18000 Exp 3000 TP 750 Gald 1500 Atk 150 Def 150 Drops Rosemary, Ex Gem Lv2 Weak Light Str Darkness Defeat her and Colette will turn back to normal. Now, leave the mountain and return to Meltokio. Zelos will make you enter the city by the sewers. ___________________________________________ Meltokio Sewers ----------------- Items: Spirit Ring Enemies: Sewer Rat Great Axe Violent Viper Breastplate Giant Leech Thunderbolt Jellyfish Card of Lightning Fake Elixir Ex Gem Lv 1 Ex Gem Lv 2 Ex Gem Lv 3 2500 Gald As you enter the sewers, go right, upstairs and left to change the Sorcerer's Ring function. Its new function is to turn you small by pressing X so you can enter small passageways and walk on spider webs. If you want to turn back to your normal size, step on the blue pads on the ground. At the left of the machine that changes the function of the Sorcerer's Ring, you can see a small ledge along the wall. If you turn small, you can walk on it and find a small hole in the wall. Enter it to find a bag containing Ex Gem Lv 2. Go to the right and cross the spider web, then go upstairs. If you defeat the enemy here, you'll get a Memory Gem. Then head for the stairs at the end. Open the chest behind for an Ex Gem Lv 3, then climb them up. Examine the yellow switches on the trash compactor to activate it. A block of trash will come out. Push it to the left into the middle hole at the edge. It'll fall in water. Take another block and push it down into the right hole at the bottom edge, and another block down into the left hole (still of the bottom edge). Also look at the wall on the left of the trash compactor to find a small hole in the wall. Turn small and enter it to find a bag containing Great Axe. Then, go back downstairs to the other set of stairs. Head down and look behind the stairs for a hidden chest with Spirit Ring. Then, make yourself small and go at the right of the stairs. There's a small ledge you can walk on. You can now cross it to the other side since the trash blocks fill in the holes in the ledge. Once on the other side, turn the wheel and the door above will open. Go back to that door and go through to the next room. Unlock the Memory Circle in this room and save your game. Then, go to the left and head downstairs. Make yourself small, and jump in the small wooden boat. You'll cross to the other side and the trash block you pushed in the water earlier will stop the boat. Turn the wheel here and a door will open near the trash compactor. Go through that door to end up at the top of the other room. Here is a trash compactor too, so take a block of trash and pull it down on the catwalk. When you arrive at the corner of the catwalk, turn small and pass on the other side of the block using the web, then pull the block a bit. Go back on the other side of the block and push it to the right. Push it right until it falls in the water below. Now, go back to the area with the save point. Go down the stairs at the right of the entrance and look on the right of the stairs for a hidden chest with Breastplate. Then, make yourself small and walk on the ledge over the water. You can now cross because of the block you pushed from above. Go left at the fork and head upstairs. There should be a big cage here. Turn small and go inside. Go back to normal size and open the door of the cage at the right, then head back for the trash compactor at the top of the room, where the catwalk is. Take a new trash block and push it on the catwalk like before. Push it to the fourth corner and push it right so it falls just in front of the big cage. Then, go back to the cage and push the block in it. It will activate the bridge at the left. Go back up to the trash compactor and take another block. Push it from the last corner to the area below. Go to that area and push the block in the water from the hole at the edge. Also make yourself small and enter the small hole in the wall here for a bag containing Ex Gem Lv 1. Now, go where the bridge is at the left of the cage and cross it. Go downstairs, make yourself small and walk on the small ledge over the water at the right. Go to the other side and turn the wheel here to open the door above. Go through that door to another room. Go left for a chest with 2500 Gald, then head downstairs and after passing on the 3 blue pads on the ground, look at the wall on your right for a hole. Turn small and go inside for Thunderbolt, a weapon for Genis. Then continue and there's another hole on the other side just before the 3 blue pads. Inside is Card of Lighting. Then continue for an easy fight with Convict x3. Then, go upstairs and if you wish, you can battle the fake chest on your right but the fight can be hard so you can also come back later. Then exit the sewers to Meltokio. ___________________________________________ Meltokio - The Imperial City ------------------------------ (second visit) Go east from the inn, then north to enter the lab. After the discussion, head for Zelos' house in the rich part of the city. When you're ready to go to bed, talk to the domestic. In the morning, go back to the lab to get the Wind Packs. Leave the city to the field using the sewers and go to the Grand Tethe'Alla Bridge. Go right to go downstairs, then talk to Kuchinawa. Cross the sea to the other side, then go to Sybak. ___________________________________________ Sybak - The University Town ----------------------------- (second visit) Go back to see Kate using the secret passageway in the west part of the town to enter the Academy. After the discussion, leave the Academy and the town and return to the field. Follow the path northeast to Gaoracchia Forest. ___________________________________________ Gaoracchia Forest ------------------- Items: Drain Charm Enemies: Pumpkin Tree Phoenix Rod Boxer Iris Witch's Robe Tropical Worm Angel Bracelet Undertaker Pretty Ribbon Phantom Ghoul You'll have to fight 3 Cardinal Knights at the entrance, then go on and change the Sorcerer's Ring's function. It can now make a light beam. You can use it to open up paths through plants. If you need to recharge it, step into mushrooms. Note that if you leave the forest through the other entrance, you'll end up somewhere else on the field where the Guide Monument for Sybak is located. Back in the forest, go for the path at the right of the Sorcerer's Ring pedestal to end up in front of a path that splits up in 3. Before going anywhere, get the chest hidden under a bush at the intersection for Drain Charm. Now, take the south path and continue south and then east until you find a chest behind a bush. Hold the X button to make some light on the bush and wait until the bush disappears. It may take some time. Then open the chest for a Pretty Ribbon. Go back to the first intersection with the chest and the mushrooms. This time, take the north path. You'll come across a chest on your way, make some light on the bush around it and wait a couple of seconds for the bush to disappear. Then open the chest for Phoenix Rod. Continue east to the next screen and as soon as you see a path going southeast, follow it to a chest. Open it for Witch's Robe. Then, look above you and take the path east and make some light on the plants blocking your way. Then, continue east to another chest containing Angel Bracelet. Now, proceed east and go north when you can. Continue east and defeat the enemy right after clearing the plant blocking your way for a Memory Gem. Then, go south all the way and south again. You'll notice a sealed black chest on your way. Then, continue southeast until you arrive at the save point. Save your game and move onwards for a boss battle. _____ Boss ---- Convict HP 12000 Exp 2250 TP 320 Gald 1500 Atk 800 Def 120 Drops Elixir Weak -- Str -- Not a hard fight, but some life bottles will come in handy. Have Lloyd, Zelos, Raine and any other party member. Physical attacks work well against him. After the fight, you'll need to go to Mizuho, but note that if you return in the forest after going to Mizuho, you can fight back that Skull you fought in Ossa Trail. He's right in the path south from the black chest. I suggest coming back for him later when you're stronger, since he's really strong. He'll give you Yasakani Jewel if you defeat him. But, for now, leave the forest and head for Mizuho. ___________________________________________ Mizuho - The Mystical Village ------------------------------- (first visit) Go to the chief's house. Lloyd will receive the title Gentle Idealist. Then Regal will join your party. Re enter the chief's house after the conversation and examine the hall to find the Wonder Chef who'll show you how to make Ramen. Also, buy the Mizuho Potion from the shop for later use. Something else you could do is talk to the ladies in the village with Zelos as the lead character to receive some items. Now, go back to the field. Return in the forest and leave through the east exit to end up in another part of the field. Cross the bridge and head for Ozette. ___________________________________________ Ozette - The Quiescent Village -------------------------------- (first visit) Go up the slope, then go left for the inn. Examine the parrot inside to find Wonder Chef (Tenderloin recipe). Then, talk to the ladies inside the village with Zelos as the lead character to receive free items. Then, head down to Presea's house. After the cutscene, leave her house and enter the field from her courtyard. Go to Altessa's House. ___________________________________________ Altessa's House ----------------- (first visit) The dwarf doesn't want to help you, but at least now you know that you must head for Toize Valley. Re enter Altessa's house after exiting it and talk to Tabatha to learn how to make Curry. Then, go back to the field, enter back the village and leave through the other exit to return on the right field. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Items: Rune Cape Enemies: Basilisk Ghoul Killer Bee Beast Ogre Red Mantis Scarlet Needle Storm Claw Gold Beetle Red Bat Drake Go to the dock at the end of the peninsula near Ozette and navigate northeast to another continent with a dock (or refer to the map of Tethe'Alla if you're lost, it's located at the tip of the land south on the map). On that land, head northeast from the dock to find a chest with Rune Cape on the beach. Then, head northwest and enter the mine. ___________________________________________ Toize Valley Mine ------------------- Items: Sage Enemies: Red Bat Crescent Ax Red Roper Saint Rapier Basilisk Sand Saber Rock Golem Iron Greaves Roller Snail Silk Robe Battlesuit Thunder Cape Super Pellets Ex Gem Lv 1 Ex Gem Lv 3 Evil Eye There'll be a boss battle as soon as you enter. _____ Boss ---- Defense System HP 12000 Exp 2350 TP 100 Gald 0 Atk 800 Def 240 Drops Metal Sphere Weak -- Str -- This fight isn't hard at all, though there are many enemies to take down all at once. The Auto Repair Unit will sometimes heal the other enemies, so make sure to defeat that one first. Also hit the Defense System first since some enemies will come back and it's the door you really need to hit. After the boss battle, you'll get to really enter the mine. If you want to get the chests with Sage and Ex Gem Lv 1 before continuing, go back to where you fought the boss and look at the right of the door for the chest with Sage. Then look behind the first wagon on the track near the entrance of the Mine for the chest with Ex Gem Lv 1. Now, enter the mine and go to right. Activate the machine here so you can use the moving platform. Get on it to cross to the other side. Enter the tunnel here and you'll see a big boulder blocking your way in. Go back and get on the moving platform a second time. There's a switch in the middle you can press to change the direction of the track. Use the Sorcerer's Ring to hit that switch and the moving platform will bring you left instead of straight. There's a mysterious door here, but you can't open it. The enemy near that door will give a Memory Gem if you defeat it. You now need to go down, and there's a moving platform that goes up and down near the door, so use it to reach the bottom. Once in the area below, look behind the old wagons where the old track is at the right for a hidden chest containing Crescent Ax. Then, go southeast to change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. You can now set up bombs to blow up these large boulders. Go up the wood plank at the left for a chest with Saint Rapier, then go northwest for another chest containing Sand Saber at the left of the slime enemy. Go back up using the elevator thing, and go left to blow up the boulder there. Then go back down and re change the Sorcerer's Ring back to its original function. Go back up again and go right to get on the moving platform. Shoot the switch in the middle to re-position the track like it was before. Then, go to where you blew up the boulder at the left and jump to the other side. Go back down to the area below and switch back the Sorcerer's Ring to the bomb function. Now, go back up (it's the last time, I swear) and get on the moving platform to cross to the other side. Enter the tunnel here and blow up the boulder blocking your way. Go straight, then left for a chest in the alcove (Iron Greaves). Then, go up and blow up the boulder here too. Go right, then down the wood plank. Activate the machine here, then go to the right for a chest with Battlesuit. Go back up the wood plank, and return to the left. This time, go north and then down the wood plank here. There's machine here too, so activate it and go back up. Continue north, then go right and blow up the boulder. Go north again, then down the plank here for a chest with Silk Robe. There's also a gnome here, who asks for a potion. If you don't have any, it would be a good thing to come back here after the dungeon to give him one. Just buy the Mizuho Potion back at Mizuho and come back to give him. It will help you later in the game. Then go back up, go right, blow up the boulder, go down, save your game on the Memory Circle, and go south for an elevator. If you go down that elevator, you'll find two chests with Thunder Cape and Super Pellets. Then go back up and go to the right of the save point. Here is a complicate part. If you step on the trap on the ground, a boulder will come out and chase you down the path. If you go right, you'll see a spinning stone that blocks your way. To solve this puzzle, don't touch the switch that stops the boulders; leave it on. To make things easier, set an EX Gem Lv2 to Lloyd and set it to Personal, that way your character will run faster. If you can't do this because you have no Ex Gems, don't worry, you can still do the puzzle, but it'll be a bit more difficult. Once this is done, approach the spinning stone but keep a distance. Slowly walk to the left after it sees you and it'll start following you. Bring it to the farthest you can, near where the boulders come out. When it won't go any further, quickly run to the trap on the ground and step on it to activate the boulder drop. Run to avoid the boulder, and when you turn the corner, the spinning stone will get crushed by the boulder. Before going anywhere, go back down using the elevator where you got the 2 chests and examine the pieces of the crushed spinning stone to get Colette's dark weapon (it's a side quest), Evil Eye. Now, that's the spinning stone's no more, you can continue your way, so go downstairs to the next screen. Then, go downstairs again at the right of the bridge to find a chest with Ex Gem Lv 3. Go back up and cross the bridge. Here, blow up all the crates on the right to find a chest with the Inhibitor Ore you were looking for. Your task here is done, so go back to the entrance of the mine, and if you haven't already done it, don't forget the chest at the right of the entrance and the one behind the first wagon. Then leave the mine and return to Ozette with the ore. ___________________________________________ Ozette - The Quiescent Village -------------------------------- (second visit) You'll fight three Papal Knights as you enter and Colette will be taken away. Then you'll save Presea and she'll re join you. Quick Jump to Mizuho. ___________________________________________ Mizuho - The Mystical Village ------------------------------- (second visit) Go talk to the vice-chief. After this, go out and talk to Sheena at the other side of the village. She'll accept to summon Volt. Go back to the dock near Ozette and take the boat north to arrive at the temple where Volt is. ___________________________________________ Temple of Lightning --------------------- Items: Silver Guard Enemies: Lightning Bird Duel Helm Thunder Sword Thunder Scepter Gold Skeleton Shining Star Gold Slime Power Greaves Lamia Battle Cloak Spirit Bottle Ex Gem Lv 2 Ex Gem Lv 3 (x2) Go straight from the entrance, avoid the traps, and go left for a save point. Now there are 3 paths in the middle you could go into. Each of these paths lead to a Lightning Rod. If you try going into the middle path, you'll step on a panel that'll send you a thunderbolt, so don't use that path yet. Instead, go in the one at the right and examine the Lightning Rod. A pole will come out from above. Now, return to the middle path and step on the panel. Thunder will strike the Lightning Rod at the right. You can now pass over the panel so examine the Lightning Rod here too and its pole will lower. Then, go back in the right path and lower the pole here too. Now, go to the left path and raise the pole of the Lightning Rod here. Then go in the middle path and step on the panel. The thunder will strike the left pole and destroy a block on its left. Go there now that the block isn't blocking the way anymore and examine the pedestal to change the Sorcerer's Ring's function. It can now shoot a blue electricity ray. Go at the very right of the area and you'll see blue and red blocks. Destroy the blue blocks using the blue electricity ray, then get the chest behind for Silver Guard. Then, go in the middle path and go upstairs to the second room. There is a path on your left and one on your right. Take any, just go upstairs to the very top of the room. Shoot the blue block at the top where the 3 colored blocks are one atop the other. Now all's left is the yellow and the red block, which we'll deal about later. Go back down and go straight to the entrance to the next room. It's blocked by a blue block, so get rid of it by destroying it with the Sorcerer's Ring. Enter the next room. There's a save point here too. Go up the stairs at the left and up the other stairs too, and enter the door at the top. You should now be in a dark room with thunder strikes. Simply reach the top without falling. Once in the next room above, enter the door at the bottom of the screen. You should now be on a kind of balcony around the large room. Go at the right and shoot the blue block in the air. The chest that was on will fall below. Then, activate the Lightning Rod and the platform you are standing on will fall. The chest that fell is now there (Ex Gem Lv 3). Then go left and shoot the blue block here also to make the chest on fall below. Then activate the Lightning Rod so the platform falls again. The chest is there (Duel Helm). Then go left again and shoot the blue block to make the chest fall, then go right and shoot the blue block here also to make another chest fall down. Activate the Lightning Rod to make the platform fall, then get the chest with Thunder Scepter. Go left and activate the Lightning Rod so the thunder will strike there instead of below. Then go right and enter the door here. Another dark room. There's a chest in that one though. After you go down the second set of stairs, go right and look at the edge of the path that goes under the path above. It's hard to see, but look carefully and you'll find it. It contains Spirit Bottle. After getting the chest, head for the top of the room. You'll be back in that room with the yellow blocks in the wall at the back. Now leave this room through the door at the other side of the room. Back in the dark room, head down, go through the door, and back in the room with the save point, you'll find the chest you made fall earlier at the top of the left stairway. It contains Ex Gem Lv 2. Now, go down the stairs at the left of the room to the area below with the water. Now you can walk in. Go up the stairs at the right and you'll find another pedestal. Examine it to change the Sorcerer's Ring again. Now the electricity ray is yellow, so you'll be able to destroy yellow blocks. Before going anywhere, go back to the entrance of the temple, in the first room where the first save point was at the beginning. Return to where the save point is and go down from there. There are 2 yellow blocks blocking the way. Destroy them using the yellow electricity ray and get the chest containing Shining Star. Then, go back to the second room where the 3 colored blocks were at the top of the room. Go upstairs to the top and destroy the yellow block this time. Now only the red one remains. Then, still in that room, go in the door at the right (up the right stairway) and you'll be in another dark room. Reach the top of that room to end up on another balcony. Shoot the yellow block in the air there and the Lightning Rod will fall above the machine below. Go back to the second room, and this time, go up the left stairway and destroy the 2 yellow blocks blocking the door here. Don't go in yet though, you'll go in later. Now go to the third room, the one with the save point. Go up the stairs at the right and examine the machine to activate the Lightning Rod above it. Then go up the stairs at the left of the room and enter the dark room. Then go to the next room above, the one with the yellow blocks on the wall. Go to the right of that room, enter the door here, go down the dark room to the balcony, and once there, deactivate the Lightning Rod at the left. Now the thunder will strike the machine with the Lightning Rod on. Go back to the room with the yellow blocks. The machine here is also activated. What you must do is destroy the correct yellow blocks in order to create a path for the electricty. There are 4 paths possible. Start by going upstairs and destroying the 2 left blocks of the fourth row. Then, go back down and start the machine. The electricity will take the first path and make a chest fall below. Now, destroy the 2 blocks of the first row and start the machine. A boulder above will fall down and crush the bridge below. Go down the broken bridge, and up the stairs to open the chest you made fall. It contains Battle Cloak. Then, go down the stairs, and go through the door at the bottom. You'll find another pedestal to change the Sorcerer's Ring to the red electricity ray. First thing to do with it, go back to the entrance of the temple (first save point) and destroy the red blocks blocking the way at the right to get a chest with Ex Gem Lv 3. Then, go to the second room and before destroying the remaining block at the top of the room, go to the door at the left and enter the dark room here. Reach the top to end up on another balcony. Destroy the red block here to get a chest with Power Greaves. Go back to the third room and save your game! Then go to the second room, upstairs to the top and destroy the remaining red block to unleash Volt. _____ Boss ---- Volt HP 24000 Exp 3580 TP 240 Gald 2800 Atk 950 Def 180 Drops Emerald Ring Weak -- Str Lightning I had no real problem with that boss, but I'll try to help. My party consisted of Lloyd, Raine, Zelos and Sheena. As the fight starts, make Raine use her spells to raise the attack and defense of the party, then attack Volt with Sheena, Lloyd and Zelos. When you see that someone is injured, make Raine use Nurse to heal the whole party, that way you'll always keep the whole party well healed. Continue to use the attack and defense spells to raise those stats. Use as much Orange Gels as you need. With the attack and defense stats raised, the fight will seem much easier. After the fight, Sheena will receive the title Summoner. She'll finally make a pact with Volt. All in there is done, so leave the temple and return to the dock. Take the boat to the arctic continent at the northeast of the map. You'll see a small white square on the map, head there to find a dock between the rocks. Land and enter Tethe'Alla Base. ___________________________________________ Tethe'Alla Base ----------------- Items: Silver Circlet Enemies: Foot Soldier Lavender Evil Warrior Card of Ice Raybit Silver Mail Commander Dragon Tooth Lightning Sword Beam Shield Tomahawk Lance Aqua Cape Ex Gem Lv 2 Ex Gem Lv 3 (x2) In the room you start in, make sure to examine the white sphere to change the attribute of the Sorcerer's Ring to electricity. Then, leave through the bottom door and you'll end up in a room with 4 doors. I'll call this room the main room. Go through the door at the right to arrive in a corridor. Here, pull the blue block down, then push it to the right, just toward the light beam. This will block the beam so you can pass without being hurt. Go to the right and enter the room there. Defeat the enemy in this room to get the first part of the pass code. Go back to the main room, and this time, enter the door at the left. Pull the block down, then push it left into the light beam to block it. You can now pass so go left and enter the first room for a chest with Ex Gem Lv 2. Then enter the second room for a chest with Card of Ice. Then take back the blue block and place it in front of the other beam so you can go north. Go into the corridor at the left and enter the room here for a chest with Ex Gem Lv 3. Also fight the enemy here to get the second part of the pass code. Go back to the main room. Go through the door at the right, and this time, head north into the corridor. You'll end up in a room with a lot of light beams and a chest containing Silver Circlet. Grab the blue block in the corner, push it left in front of the light beam, then pass to the other side of the beam and grab back the block. Pull it left, then push it up in front of the other light beam. Pass and go through the door on your left. Go to the left in the corridor, move the block toward the beam so you can pass, then go left and enter the room there. Fight the purple soldier in this room to get the last part of the pass code. Go up the small stairs near where the purple soldier was and using the Sorcerer's Ring, shoot the blue machine with green rings around it. Then go down and activate the machine near the lift below. It will go up. Go back to the main room, enter the room at the left, then go north in the corridor, continue north until you arrive in a room that is above the one you were in. Defeat the enemy here for a Memory Gem, then go upstairs and grab the block that is on the lift. Pull it left until you see a hole in the small barrier surrounding the platform. Push it into that hole and the block will fall below, destroying the guard system surrounding 2 chests down there. Go back to that room and open the 2 chests for Dragon Tooth and Lightning Sword. Now the final room. Talk to Orochi now that you have the pass codes. Then, from the main room, enter the door at the right and go north into the next corridor. Then enter the door at the left in the next room, and once in the other corridor, head north and go up the stairs leading to a room with a save point. Use the Memory Gem on it and save your game. Go up the stairs northeast for a chest with Silver Mail. Then, grab the 2 blocks in this room and push them northwest into the 2 gaps against the wall. Then go upstairs at the left and down the stairs leading to where you pushed the 2 blocks. You can now cross to a chest with Lavender. Also hit the blue machine with the green rings around to activate it with the Sorcerer's Ring (shoot hit diagonally). Then, go back down and pull the blocks out of the alcoves, then push them next to the stairs in the southwest corner of the room. Align the 2 blocks against the side of the stairs, then go on the stairs and from the landing of the stairs (in the center), walk on the 2 blocks you placed just next to it and open the chest hidden behind the right of the stairs for Aqua Cape. Then, pull back one of the blocks and push it right on the lift near the machine you activated before. Place the block on the top right corner of the lift. Then, while on the lift, press the switch at the left of the lift to raise the lift. Then push the block at the right of the switch above and press the switch again to go back down. Then use the stairs at the left of the room to go up to where you left the block next to the switch. Pull the block to the right, then push it down at the end of the platform where there is a gap in the barrier. It will fill up the hole so you can cross over. Stand on it and shoot the blue machine with the green rings to activate it. Go back down there and stand on the lift at the right of the room. Press the switch next to the lift to go up. Once in the area above, go left and shoot the blue machine here. Then go north and open the chest there for Beam Shield. Then go down using the lift with the block on. Once down, push that block into the gap in the barrier at the right. It will fill up a hole so you can reach the chest with Ex Gem Lv 3. Now, leave the room and re- enter it to reset the emplacement of the blocks. Take the 2 blocks in the room and push them to the right. Place both of the lift there and stand on the lift too. Press the switch to go up. Grab one of the blocks and push it north. Then push it into the gap at the left so you can reach the chest with Tomahawk Lance. Go back and grab the other block. Push that one into the gap at the right so you can reach the other side. There, use the lift to go up again. Check the door here and enter the correct pass codes you got from the soldiers. The pass code isn't always the same. The door to the hangar will open, so go in to find the Rheairds. There'll be a boss battle after the cutscene. _____ Boss ---- Yuan Botta HP 16000 Exp 4890 HP 12000 Exp 1680 TP 652 Gald 3150 TP 580 Gald 2800 Atk 900 Def 215 Atk 780 Def 205 Drops Ex Gem Lv4 Drops -- Weak -- Str Lightning Weak -- Str Earth You are 4, they are 2. Use that to your advantage... After the boss fight, you'll take control of the Rheairds, and can now go anywhere on the map. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Items: Ex Gem Lv 4 Now that you can fly using the Rheairds, head for the northwest corner of the map for a small island with a chest on. It contains Ex Gem Lv 4. Now you'll need to head for the Flying Dragon's nest in order to save Colette. The nest is located right above the small isle with the Celtic-like stones, south from the arctic continent. You'll see a cloudy area above the island, this is where the nest is. ___________________________________________ Nest of Flying Dragons ------------------------ After the cutscene, a boss fight occurs. _____ Boss ---- Winged Dragon Baby Dragon (x2) HP 18000 Exp 2450 HP 12000 Exp 1250 TP 400 Gald 1200 TP 800 Gald 500 Atk 1400 Def 86 Atk 1030 Def 68 Drops Venom, Flare Cape Drops -- Weak -- Str -- Weak -- Str -- Defeat the two Baby Dragons first, then the fight will be much easier. Winged Dragon has some strong attacks, but pretty easy to avoid as his attack pattern is predictable. My party consisted of Raine, Lloyd, Zelos and Regal. I had the three guys attack the dragons with their strongest attacks and Raine heal the party. After the fight, you'll be at the Temple of Earth. ___________________________________________ Temple of Earth ----------------- Items: Mythril Guard Enemies: Cave Worm Mythril Bracelet Giant Snail Mythril Circlet Earth Element Silver Mail Clay Golem Bellebane Neviros Ancient Rod Dragon Bardiche Ghost Shell Ex Gem Lv 1 Ex Gem Lv 2 Ex Gem Lv 3 Before entering this temple, make sure you gave the potion to the gnome in Toize Valley Mine and that you learned how to cook curry from Tabatha at Altessa's House! Change the Sorcerer's Ring function to earthquake, then stand next to the 4 rock pillars and use it to make them crumble. You'll then see a gnome on the bridge. If you gave the potion to the gnome in Toize Valley Mine, he'll let you pass. If not, go back to Mizuho, buy a Mizuho Potion, return to Toize Valley Mine, give the potion to the gnome, and come back here at last. Cross the bridge and follow the path to the right. You'll see an immobile slime enemy standing behind a rock. About 2 feet before its emplacement, use the Sorcerer's Ring to create an earthquake and some rocks will crumble and make a new path. Go down that path and go left. Use the Sorcerer's Ring next to the rock pillar to make it crumble. A chest containing Mythril Guard will fall near you. Then, go right and enter the cave here. Go down the slope for a chest containing Mythril Bracelet. You can't go any further, so go back to the first area. This time, head south from the bridge. Go down that path and enter the cave at the end. Cross the bridge to find a chest containing Mythril Circlet. Go back to the first area, and head all the wall east from the bridge. Enter the cave here and cross the bridge. Head up the mountain for a chest containing Bellebane. Then, talk to the first gnome. He'll ask you to cook some curry for him. If you haven't already learned this recipe, go back to Altessa's House and talk to Tabatha to learn how to make curry. Then come back here. After you cook some curry for him, he'll let you pass. Talk to the second at the left this time. He'll offer you his help and disappear. The bridge you are currently on is breakable. Each time you use the earthquake on, it'll collapse and you'll fall below. There are a lot of chests to get here, and you'll need to do that part 3 times if you want all the chests. The bridge you are on is made of 3 sections. Stand on the rightmost section and use the earthquake to fall below. Go right for a chest with Ex Gem Lv 3. Then, use the earthquake on the small bridges 3 times until there is a bridge with 3 sections. Stand on the middle one and use the earthquake. Below, go right for a chest with Ancient Rod. Then is a bridge with 2 sections. Stand on the left one and use the earthquake. Then go left for a chest with Bardiche. Then use the earthquake until you reach the bottom. Talk to the gnome on the left to go back up. There are still some chests left back where the wooden bridges are, so go back there. This time, stand on the leftmost section of the bridge and use the earthquake to fall down. Use the earthquake on the next bridge, then go left for a chest with Ex Gem Lv 2. Use the earthquake on the next bridge to go down and get the chest with Ex Gem Lv 1. Then break all the next bridges to go all the way down. There is still a last chest to get, so go back to the first bridge at the top. This time, stand on the middle section of the bridge. Use the earthquake to fall down, then use it on the next bridge, then go left for the chest you missed before (Ghost Shell). Now you've got all the chests so go back to first area of the temple. Talk to the gnome in red near the entrance and he'll ask you to get rid of the monsters in his way. Go down the south path and defeat the enemies to clear the gnome's way. Make sure the gnome enters the cave at the end of the path before you, then go in and talk to the gnome on the bridge. When he jumps, use the earthquake at the same time. Do this 3 times to break the bridge. Save your game using the save point, then go to the altar. _____ Boss ---- Gnome HP 28000 Exp 5890 TP 682 Gald 4280 Atk 1100 Def 255 Drops Holy Symbol Weak -- Str Earth Although Gnome may look weak, he's pretty strong. He has some powerful earthquake attacks and has the Stalagmite technique. Make sure to have Raine in your party. Make her use Nurse and Healing Circle. It would be a good idea to also have Zelos or Regal in your party since they have some healing spell to help Raine with the healing. If you have Genis in your party, make him use Spread. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Enemies: Ranger Sorceress Rogue Ice Spider Penguinist After the Temple of Earth, head outside and fly to the northeast continent of the map, the arctic one. Before entering Flanoir, fight the Penguinist enemies in the field until you get 3 Penguinist Quills, an item randomly dropped by the Penguinists. You can also use Colette's Item Thief technique to occasionally steal it from them. It's a rare drop, so it could take a while... don't despair. ___________________________________________ Flanoir - The Snowy City -------------------------- (first visit) Items: Nebilim Make sure you got Colette's darkness weapon, Evil Eye, before entering Flanoir. If not, go back to Toize Valley Mine and examine the crushed pieces of the spinning stone tablet to find it. Talk to the guy leaning in front of the second house near the entrance to start the Devil's Arms side quest. He will ask you to find the 9 darkness weapons and return them to him once you have them. He will also give you Lloyd's darkness weapon, Nebilim, along with the Nebilim Key, used to open black chests. Then, head down at the right of the entrance and a guy will ask you to get him a Celsius' Tear. To pick up a Celsius' Tear though, you will need Penguinist Gloves. And to make Penguinist Gloves, you'll need 3 Penguinist Quills. If you haven't already gotten them, go in the field around the city and fight some Penguinists until you get 3 Penguinist Quills, which Pengunists drop after battles once in a while. Once you have the 3 Penguinist Quills, enter the accessories shop and talk to the old man. Give him the 3 Penguinist Quills so he can make Penguinist Gloves for you. Equip the gloves to any of your party members who can wear them. Before leaving the city, enter the church at the top of the city and look in the top left corner, behind a column, to find the Wonder Chef for the Quiche recipe. Now head out of the city. ___________________________________________ Gaoracchia Forest ------------------- (revisited) Items: Fafnir Enemies: Pumpkin Tree Boxer Iris Tropical Worm Undertaker Phantom Ghoul This is optional as it is a side quest, but it's better to do it now before the chest disappears. Now that you got the Nebilim Key from the guy in Flanoir, you can open that black chest west from the save point. It contains Fafnir, Zelos/Kratos' darkness weapon. ___________________________________________ Temple of Ice ------------------- Items: Ancient Robe Enemies: Ice Warrior Defenser Ice Spider Mythril Shield Penguinist Ice Coffin Penguiner Mythril Gaunlet Feather Magic Mythril Armor Bigfoot Rosemary Lobo Ex Gem Lv 2 Ex Gem Lv 3 Before entering this temple, make sure you have the Penguinist Gloves from Flanoir. Head for the Ice Temple south from Flanoir. In the entrance area of the temple, you can get 2 chests at the right (Ancient Robe, Defenser) and also another chest at the left, south from the ice spot. This one contains Mythril Shield. Then go inside the temple. Change the Sorcerer's Ring's attribute to ice. Then go upstairs for a chest containing Ice Coffin. Go right for another chest with Mythril Gauntlet. At the fork, head up the slope on your left for a chest with Mythril Armor. Then go through the door to end up outside of the temple. Go to the right and shoot the water drop with the ice Sorcerer's Ring. It will freze the water drop and turn it into an ice block. Use it to cross to the other side, then continue to the next entrance. Inside, open the chest for Ex Gem Lv 2. Then examine the small frozen flower to pick up Celsius' Tear. Make sure you have the Penguinist Gloves equipped. If not, go back to Flanoir to get them (check the Flanoir walkthrough). Now go back inside the other part of the cave. At the fork, this time, head right and cross the ice bridge. Then head south and look at the right for a water drop. Shoot it with the Sorcerer's Ring to freeze it and create an ice block. Push the block in the hole at the left and cross to the other side. Examine the waterfall on your left to freeze the water using the Celsius' Tear. People who played Pokemon Gold/Silver will know what to do here. There are 3 path leading to the ice. Start from the rightmost one, then go: North, West, South, West, North, West, North, East, South, West You'll end up next to the chest with Rosemary. There are also 3 paths leading to the ice here. Start from the bottom one, then go: East, North, West, South, East, North, East, North There is also a chest here with Ex Gem Lv 3. Then, head up to a room with ice statues. You have to place them correctly in order to open the door. Here goes: The bottom statue must face right The left statue must face right The right statue must face down The top statue must face left The door will then open, so go in. _____ Boss ---- Celsius Fenrir HP 18000 Exp 5120 HP 12000 Exp 2600 TP 600 Gald 5800 TP 300 Gald 1380 Atk 1020 Def 205 Atk 860 Def 185 Drops Spirit Symbol Drops Blue Quartz Weak Fire Str Water/Ice Weak Fire/Lightning Str Water/Ice This boss is pretty hard. Fenrir and Celsius are both pretty strong. The best thing is to kill Fenrir first, then the fight will be a lot more easier. Have Genis use his best fire spells if you choose him for the fight, Raine use Nurse or Healing Circle, and Lloyd and Sheena attack Fenrir (then Celsius). I personally chose Zelos for the fight as he has First Aid, but you can also pick up Genis if you prefer. Regal is also a good choice as he is pretty strong and also has a healing spell. ___________________________________________ Altessa's House ----------------- (second visit) After leaving the Temple of Ice, you'll automatically be transported to Ozette. Then head for Altessa's House. Head inside his house after the cutscene. Talk to the green gnome inside Altessa's House if you want to do the Devil Arms side quest. Then, talk with Altessa, and you'll notice in the morning that Raine is gone! The party thinks she may be at Altamira. ___________________________________________ Temple of Earth ----------------- (revisited) Items: Gates of Hell Enemies: Cave Worm Giant Snail Earth Element Clay Golem Neviros Dragon This is optional as it is a side quest, but if you want the Devil Arms, you'd better do it now before you forget. Make sure you talked to the green gnome in Altessa's House. After talking to him, he should have returned to the Temple of Earth. So now that you are here, head through the door at the left of the bridge at the entrance of the temple and go right. On your way, there will be a strong enemy called Dragon. Fight him if you wish, or just escape. Then talk to the group of gnomes. They'll leave after the green gnome arrives. So now that they're gone, you can pass and open the black chest on your right (make sure you got the Nebilim Key from Flanoir). Inside the chest is Sheena's darkness weapon, Gates of Hell. ___________________________________________ Flanoir - The Snowy City -------------------------- (second visit) Items: 5,000 Gald Talk with the guy who wanted the Celsius' Tear and give him some to receive 5,000 Gald. Now you can head to Altamira, located on a small island south from the arctic continent. ___________________________________________ Altamira - The Seaside Paradise --------------------------------- (first visit) This city has a huge inn with all the shops located on the second floor. When your shopping is done, go north from the entrance, then east to talk with an old man who will give you the Employee ID. Then go west to take the boat (well, train) to Lezareno Company. Once there, head inside the elevator and go to the Sky Terrace. Go to Presea's sister's grave. After the cutscene, leave the city and head for the Overworldly Gate, a small isle with some Celtic-like stones south of the arctic continent. ___________________________________________ Otherworldly Gate ------------------- Head here to find Raine. There'll then be a fight with some easy to defeat knights. After this, you'll be back in Sylvarant. (Don't worry, you can go back to Tethe'Alla later). ---------------------------------o Sylvarant o-------------------------------- ___________________________________________ Palmacosta - The Port City ---------------------------- Enter Palmacosta and head for Dorr's residence to drop Mithos. Then, leave Palmacosta and return in the field. Head for the Palmacosta Ranch. ___________________________________________ Palmacosta Human Ranch ------------------------ After the cutscene, talk to Botta if you're ready to go. He'll make you enter the Remote Island Ranch directly. ___________________________________________ Remote Island Human Ranch --------------------------- Items: Stone Charm Enemies: Whip Master Vajra Bowman Holy Staff Evil Sorcerer Saffron Spearman Holy Cloak Giant Slug Minazuki Sea Horror Mythril Ax Evil Jelly Mythril Greaves Revive Ring Ex Gem Lv 1 Ex Gem Lv 2 (x2) Ex Gem Lv 3 (x2) Ex Gem Lv 4 Walk to the control room. You'll arrive in a room with tiles on the floor that you must walk on in order to light them. What you must do is find a way to step on all the tiles until they are all lighted up. The solution to the puzzle of the first floor is: Walk right 3 tiles, up 2 tiles, left 2 tiles, down 4 tiles, right 2 tiles, up 1 tile. A platform will appear so you can cross to the next part. There's another floor here, more complicated this time. Walk right 1 tile, down 2 tiles, right 2 tiles, down 2 tiles, right 2 tiles, up 2 tiles, left 2 tiles, up 4 tiles, right 2 tiles, down 4 tiles, right 2 tiles, up 2 tiles, left 5 tiles. Enter the next room and change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. Then go up using the elevator. In this room, you can find 3 chests if you look behind the pillars in the corners of the platform (Stone Charm, Vajra, Holy Staff). Then press all the switches around the large cage to free the captives. Go back in the elevator and go up to the next floor. I hate that part. You need to call a small platform using the Sorcerer's Ring, then ride it the tracks and enter the portals until you reach the top of the room. You must choose the right tracks by pressing X when you pass over the small circle things to change track. Finding the right path isn't that hard, it's just annoying. Once you reach the top of the room, go in the elevator and leave through the other door. Now you should be in a room with a white warp portal. Each time you press X to use the Sorcerer's Ring, the warp will change color. Make it red and enter it. You'll warp to another floor. Here, go left for a chest with Ex Gem Lv 2. Then, go back into the red warp (ignore the white one) to return to the first warp. This time, make it green and enter it. Then go right for a chest with Saffron. Go back to the first warp. This time, make it blue and enter it. Go right for another white warp. Make it red and enter it. Then go right to find Lock 2. Go back into the red warp to get to the previous warp. Make it blue, and re enter it. Go right and make the warp green, and enter it. Go left for a chest with Holy Cloak. Then, go upstairs to the next warp. Make it green, and enter it. Then go left for a chest with Ex Gem Lv 3. Then use the stairs to reach Lock 1. Go back into the previous warp, and this time, make the warp red and enter it. Go right for a chest with Minazuki. There's another chest at the right with Ex Gem Lv 4. Then go upstairs and make the warp at the top blue. Enter it, then go left for a chest with Mythril Ax. Then go upstairs to find Lock 3 at the top. Go back downstairs to the white warp. Make it red, and enter it. Then go right for a chest with Ex Gem Lv 3. Go back to the previous warp, and this time, make it blue. Go in, then go right for a chest with Mythril Greaves. Then go upstairs for another chest with Revive Ring. Then go back downstairs and go left into the blue warp. Warp to the previous warp and make it green. Go in and you'll be warped to a save point. Save your game, then go in the elevator and go up. _____ Boss ---- Rodyle HP 35000 Exp 6240 TP 500 Gald 5800 Atk 1350 Def 210 Drops -- Weak -- Str Earth The fight is quite long, but pretty easy. Then you'll have to fight 3 Baby Dragons. Aska will come to help you. Then you'll automatically end up at Palmacosta. Leave Palmacosta to quick jump to Sylvarant Base. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Items: All-Divide Now if you want to see some cutscenes involving Yuan, re enter Sylvarant Base, then go to Hima for a cutscene, then travel back to Fooji Mountains for another cutscene at the top of the mountain. You can also get a cutscene for Clara if you go to Izoold, on the beach. Choose to save Clara to end this part of the story. While you're still in Sylvarant, there is a chest containing All- Divide on a small island near the bridge east of Palmacosta. When you're done, head back to Tethe'Alla and go to Altessa's House. ---------------------------------o Tethe'Alla o------------------------------- ___________________________________________ Altessa's House ----------------- You'll drop Mithos here. You can now travel between the 2 worlds by passing over Sylvarant Base or Tethe'Alla Base. ___________________________________________ Altamira - The Seaside Paradise --------------------------------- (second visit) Items: Disaster Return to Altamira and head for Lezareno Company. There'll be a cutscene about Regal, then he'll receive the title "El Presidente". After all of this, head for the inn. Pay to sleep at the inn and when the woman asks you when you want to go out, choose at night. You'll then end up outside at night time. Re enter the inn and head for the fourth floor (which wasn't accessible before). Look at the left of the stairway for a pumpkin which is in fact the Wonder Chef. He'll show you how to make Spaghetti. Then, head for the rail boat and choose to go to the casino. At the right of the casino, talk to the blond guy on the bridge and he'll ask you to buy something from him. Buy it to get Disaster, Genis' darkness weapon. ___________________________________________ Temple of Darkness -------------------- Head for the Temple of Darkness, over some mountains in the southwest corner of the southwest continent on the map. You'll learn that you need light because the temple is too dark. Head back for Meltokio. ___________________________________________ Meltokio - The Imperial City ------------------------------ (third visit) Enter Meltokio by the sewers, then head for the research lab. You'll meet Kratos on the way. The guys at the research lab will want to give a Blue Candle, but will then change their mind and ask you to save Kate first. Go to the Coliseum and talk to the receptionist. Choose the strongest party member. I suggest Lloyd, but make sure to heal all of his HP and TP before entering. Then, talk to the guard to start the fight. You'll fight 2 Duelists and a Sorceress, which shouldn't be too hard. After the battle, go through the door at the right to save Kate. You'll then be at Ozette and will finally get the Blue Candle you need to enter the Temple of Darkness. Before going there, enter Presea's House and look in her bedroom for a bear which is in fact the Wonder Chef (Gratin). Then head for the temple. ___________________________________________ Temple of Darkness -------------------- Items: Headband Enemies: Manticore Shadow Dancer Pharaoh Knight Ex Gem Lv 2 (x2) Coffinmaster Ex Gem Lv 3 Druid Ex Gem Lv 4 Enter the temple and go left for a chest containing Ex Gem Lv 2 at the end. Then cross the bridge to the next room. Go right and you'll see a shadow fragment. There are 5 shadow fragments in this dungeon to bring to the boss room. Ignore the shadow fragment for the moment and continue right. Go through the opening to the next room. Go downstairs and half-way through the stairs, you'll see a hole in the wall with light coming from it. Examine it and Lloyd will go inside. There you'll find the pedestal to change the Sorcerer's Ring. It can now produce darkness to put out light. Thorough the dungeon, you'll see light crystals which you must turn off using the Sorcerer's Ring. Then Lloyd will put some darkness fog on the block with red eyes. Doing this allows you to move these blocks. Pull out the block from the wall and you'll see that another block has moved elsewhere. Go back to where the shadow fragment was near the entrance and touch it. It will start following you around. Put out the light on your left so the shadow can pass. Then continue left since you can now pass because the red eyes block moved out of the way. Put out the other light on your way so the shadow can follow you. Then go south and you'll see 2 green eyes blocks. Put some darkness fog on the one at the right to move it. Then push it into the wall and you will see a block with a shadow fall down. Then put the darkness fog on the block at the left and pull it out of the wall. This will move another green eyes block. Also pick up the shadow fragment here so it starts following you around. Also note that each time you fight an enemy, the shadows will stop following you, so you have to touch them again before continuing. Now go right and down the stairs. The block here has moved out of the way so you can now pass. Then go left, put out the light, go south and you'll see that block you just pushed down there. Pull it, then push it at the end of the part of the floor with black lines northeast from its initial emplacement. The shadow on it will get off the block. Go back to pick up that shadow. Then go right and put out the light here too. Also fight the enemy here for a Memory Gem. Then, continue right of the light crystal for a hidden alcove with a chest containing Ex Gem Lv 3. Now go down the slope near the light crystal to find a save point. It also acts as a checkpoint to bring your shadow fragments. Make sure your 3 shadow fragments followed you down here and leave them there. There will stay there when you leave the room so you don't have to pick them up again (When you leave a room, the shadows don't follow you). Now there are 2 more shadow fragments to get. Return where the shadow on the block was (the block you moved to get the shadow on it). There is a blue eyes block here, at the left. Put some fog on it to move it, then push it into the wall. Now go back to the top of the room where the first shadow fragment was (use the long stairway in the room at the right since you can't get past the green eyes block). Now you can reach the shadow south from the door, since the blue eyes block has moved and make a kind of bridge to reach the shadow there. There is also a chest containing Shadow Dancer here. Pick up the shadow fragment and go north. The shadow will now always wait for you on that side, so don't worry about it and return in the previous room, the one with the long stairway. Go back to the secret passageway where you changed the Sorcerer's Ring and pull out of the wall the red eyes block to move out the other one. Go back up the long stairway to where you left the shadow fragment. It should still be here so pick it up and go left all the way to the 2 green eyes blocks. Push the left one so the other green eyes block moves out of the stairway. Then go downstairs and go back to the save point. Leave your shadow fragment here with the others. One more to go. Go back in the room with the long stairway and pick up the chest with Headband hidden under the stairs. Then go in the secret passageway to where you changed the Sorcerer's Ring. Pull the red eyes block out of the wall. Go back up the stairway to where the first shadow was and go left to the other red eyes block in the wall. Push it completely inside the wall. Then go back to the room with the long stairway and enter the door at the bottom. Go back up to the save point and up the slope at the right. Go left to where you moved the block that had a shadow on it, and follow the path going right. You can now cross the red eyed block as a bridge to get the last shadow. Pick it up and take it back to the save point with the other ones. Now you have all the shadow fragments, so go northeast from the save point for a stairway leading down to another room. In that new room, if you explore a little, you will find 2 chests, one with Ex Gem Lv 2, and the other with Ex Gem Lv4. Then continue until you find a faded save point. Save if you wish, then head down for the boss. Make sure all the 5 shadow fragments followed you down there! Sometimes these glitchy AI don't follow you and stay stuck in corners, so don't walk too fast if you want them to follow you. Bring them to the altar to start the boss fight. _____ Boss ---- Shadow HP 30000 Exp 6320 TP 800 Gald 4500 Atk 1520 Def 232 Drops Dark Seal Weak -- Str Darkness For this fight, you will need Colette. She has some light spells, which are the best against darkness enemies. Use her Angel Feathers spell or Judgment spell. Raine also have some light based spells. You should do fine if you always use the light spells and heal well the party members. After the fight you will receive an Amethyst. Then leave the temple and return to Sylvarant. The 3 last summon spirits you must form a pact with are located at Triet Ruins, Balacruf Maussoleum and the Tower of Mana. ---------------------------------o Sylvarant o-------------------------------- ___________________________________________ Triet Ruins ------------- (revisited) Enemies: Fire Element Fire Bird Fire Warrior Scorpion Brown Pot Now you must make a pact with the fire summon spirit, Efreet. So head back to Sylvarant and enter Triet Ruins. Return to the room where you fought the boss to find Efreet. _____ Boss ---- Efreet HP 18000 Exp 2430 TP 850 Gald 945 Atk 500 Def 35 Drops Attack Symbol Weak -- Str Fire Have Genis in your party and use his water spell Spread. Only use this one continuously. Have Raine heal the party with her best healing spells, and have Lloyd and Sheena attack Efreet. If you can, try to have Sheena summoning Undine. Also use Sheena's spell to attach the water element to Lloyd's physical techniques. After the fight, you'll receive a Garnet. Now all is left to do is to head for Balacruf Mausoleum. ___________________________________________ Balacruf Mausoleum -------------------- (revisited) Enemies: Arachnid Skeleton Harpy Gargoyle Wind Element Now you must make a pact with the wind summon spirit, Sylph, so head for the room where you fought the boss. _____ Boss ---- Sephie Yutis Fairess HP 7320 Exp 880 HP 6480 Exp 770 HP 6190 Exp 690 TP 220 Gald 320 TP 80 Gald 290 TP 250 Gald 285 Atk 713 Def 81 Atk 699 Def 76 Atk 738 Def 84 Drops Savory Drops Sage Drops Saffron Weak -- Str Wind Weak -- Str Wind Weak -- Str Wind This fight can be a bit hard. Have Genis attack them with Stalagmite or Spread, his best techniques. Don't use any wind spell though. Thunder spells also work fine. Make all the party members attack the same enemy until it dies. Take them down one by one. Have Raine heal the party when necessary, and use your Life Bottles. After the fight, you'll receive an Opal and Sheena will obtain the title "Elemental Summoner". Now the only summon spirit remaining is the light one, Aska. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Now the place you need to go is the Linkite Tree. It's pretty hard to locate if you don't know where to look. The Linkite Tree is located right behind the mountain northeast of the Sylvarant Base. You'll need the Rheairds to access this area. ___________________________________________ Linkite Tree -------------- Examine the tree and Lloyd will tell you to go talk to Professor Nova, who is at Nova's Caravan. The caravan is at the right of the entrance (the front one) of Hakonesia Peak. ___________________________________________ Nova's Caravan ---------------- Talk to professor Nova, then talk to the children to receive the Linkite Nut (you may already have it). Then, talk to the woman for a cutscene with the party members. You'll need an Exsphere Shard, so if you don't already have it, head for Dirk's House. ___________________________________________ Dirk's House -------------- Talk to Dirk and he'll give you many items, including a Metal Sphere and the Exsphere Shard. You can also head up to Lloyd's room and look next to his bed for the Wonder Chef (Miso Stew). Now that you have everything you need, go back to the Linkite Tree. ___________________________________________ Linkite Tree -------------- A cutscene where you revive the Linkite Tree will occur, then Aska will come and return to Luna. So now the only thing remaining is the pact with Luna. Head back for the Tower of Mana. ___________________________________________ Tower of Mana --------------- Enemies: Living Doll Living Sword Specter Grim Reaper Go back to the boss room. You'll see Kratos on your way and a small cutscene will occur. Then the boss fight will start. _____ Boss ---- Luna Aska HP 18000 Exp 3250 HP 19650 Exp 3480 TP 720 Gald 4800 TP 600 Gald 2800 Atk 1120 Def 292 Atk 1120 Def 245 Drops Moonstone Drops Rare Pellets Weak -- Str Light Weak -- Str (All) Make sure not to use any light spell in this fight. Colette is a very bad choice for this fight, so pick anyone else instead of her. Genis would be a great choice. Take down Aska first, then take down Luna. You'll receive a Topaz after the fight, then Kratos will join the party while Sheena leaves for a moment. After the nice anime cutscene, you'll end up at Iselia Ranch. ___________________________________________ Iselia Human Ranch -------------------- Items: Rune Helm Rune Staff Enemies: Whip Master Lovely Mittens Rune Robe Spearman Solar Spinner Rune Cloak Bowman Cor Leonis Rune Circlet Evil Sorcerer Muramasa Rune Mail Raybit Ether Sword Rune Shield Aqua Greaves Rune Gauntlet Hairpin Rune Guard War Hammer Save your game, then enter the ranch. There is a chest on the left with Rune Helm. Head for the stairway at the right to get inside. Change the Sorcerer's Ring once inside the ranch. It can now release some Mana power. Go straight and after the cutscene, you'll have to form 2 teams. Your team, Lloyd's, is the reactor team. Choose the 3 best characters to come along with you, because you are going to face the boss with that team! You won't even use the rescue team, so it doesn't matter if the 2 teams are not well balanced. Just take the 3 best characters along with Lloyd. I recommend Raine, Kratos and Presea or Regal or Zelos. Don't bring Genis or Colette along or you're going to have problems during the boss battle. Once your teams are settled, get the chest in this room containing Lovely Mittens. It is hidden by the bottom wall, so look carefully. Then if you head up, you can go left for 3 chests (Solar Spinner, Cor Leonis, Muramasa) and right for 2 other chests (Ether Sword, Rune Staff). Then go back in the room where you formed the teams, and look at the left for a closed door. To open it, shoot the two small pillars each side of the door with the mana power. Go through the door at the end of the corridor to find Chocolat. You'll fight some easy enemies here. Then go downstairs and through the door at the right. At the end of the corridor is a chest with Rune Robe. Then go up the stairs at the left and head left. Open the door here using the mana power, then get the 3 chests in this room (Aqua Greaves, Rune Mail, Rune Shield). Now from the stairs, go in the path going straight for a room with a closed door. Open it with mana, and you'll be in a room with 3 other chests (Rune Gauntlet, Hairpin, Rune Guard). Then, from the stairs, head for the path at the right. Then go south for a door. Open it with mana, and get the 2 chests (Rune Cloak, Rune Circlet). Now go north downstairs, then south for a save point. Go through the door at the right of the save point for a chest with War Hammer. Fight the enemy in this room to get a Memory Gem. Go back to the save point, and from there, head north for a door, open it with mana, and go through. Get in the warp at the end of the hallway. _____ Boss ---- Forcystus HP 20000 Exp 7100 TP 400 Gald 5800 Atk 1200 Def 300 Drops Faerie Ring Weak -- Str Wind This guy is pretty tough. Make sure you take down the 2 small enemies before attacking him, they make a lot of damage. I used mainly physical attacks against him, since the spell casting time was too long and the 2 small enemies were always in my way. After the fight, go back in the warp and return in the room at the right of the save point. Shoot mana on the small pillar and get on the elevator to go back up. Then exit the ranch. After the cutscene, switch to Disc 2. ___________________________________________ Iselia - The Village of Oracles --------------------------------- After the cutscene, head for the school. There'll be another cutscene here. Then, go to Genis' house to find Raine. Talk to her, then head for the south exit of the village. Colette will join you and you'll be at Dirk's House. ___________________________________________ Dirk's House -------------- Talk to Dirk, then Kratos will leave while Sheen returns. Talk to all the characters, then talk to Colette on the veranda. Also, if you haven't gotten it already, the Wonder Chef is next to Lloyd's bed. Now go back to Tethe'Alla and stop by Altessa's House. ---------------------------------o Tethe'Alla o------------------------------- ___________________________________________ Altessa's House ----------------- Watch the cutscene. You can also get a story event with Presea if you examine the red exsphere on the table. You'll go to the Toize Mine and need to go in the area with the waterfall at the end. Now head for Sybak. ___________________________________________ Sybak - The University Town ----------------------------- (third visit) Go to the west part of the town and talk to the man next to the dog for a story event with Presea. Then, enter the library in the east part of the town. After the cutscene, head for Meltokio. ___________________________________________ Meltokio - The Imperial City ------------------------------ (third visit) Enter the city by the sewers and you'll catch Vharley talking about poisoning the king under the Pope's orders. Then head out of the sewers and go to the church. Enter the door on the left wall to arrive in the Pope's room. Colette will receive the title Spiritua Reborn. After the cutscene in the king's bedroom, go down the stairs at the right and enter the room at the right. You'll learn that you must find Zircon and Mana Leaf Herb, at Lezareno Company and Heimdall. Talk to the princess Hilda at the entrance of the castle to get the King's Letter, a permission to enter Heimdall, the village of the elves, located in Ymir Forest. Also, in the rich part of the city, enter the house at the end of the street and talk to the lady inside to get the end of Presea's story event (if you talked to the man in Sybak first). Now we'll start by going to Lezareno Company to get the Zircon first, since it's easier. ___________________________________________ Altamira - The Seaside Paradise --------------------------------- (third visit) Go to Lezareno Company and talk to the president in the president's office. Then go to the second floor to see Kuchinawa. Later, you can go back to Mizuho to fight him. You'll also learn that the Zircon is at Sybak, so go back there. ___________________________________________ Sybak - The University Town ----------------------------- (fourth visit) Go to the Academy. Go in the corridor at the left and enter the first room for a chest containing the Zircon. Now that you have the Zircon, it's time to get the Mana Leaf Herb, at Heimdall. Head for Ymir Forest, south of the Tower of Salvation. ___________________________________________ Ymir Forest ------------- Items: Resist Ring Enemies: Baby Boar Solar Guard Boar Gladius Armaboar Crystal Shell Orcrot Maid's Hairband Storm Claw Killer Bee Dodo As you enter Ymir Forest, go straight and look behind the tree here for a chest with Resist Ring. Then change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring. It can now make sounds to call animals, but only when you are standing next to a flower. Climb on the stump at the right and use the Sorcerer's Ring. Now go on the footbridge at the right and go south for a chest. Get on the stump there and make a sound to call a boar. Then open the chest for Solar Guard. Now go north from this chest and look behind the next tree for a chest with Gladius. Go on the footbridge at the left and go north. Then, go on the first footbridge you see on your left. There is a stump here. Get on it and make a sound to call up a boar, which will make a crack in the big boulder on your left. Then, go back to the previous screen and go on the footbridge at the right. Continue right until you arrive in front of a tree with a blue thing in the branches. There is a chest behind the tree here too, containing Crystal Shell. Now go back left and climb up the large tree root to reach the footbridge above. From there, go straight, left, down the root, left, up the root, left, south, left and finally, down the root. Go left for a chest behind the tree with Maid's Hairband. Then save your game and go talk to the little boy at the end of the footbridge north from the save point. He'll let you through the village if you bring him a Ymir Fruit. So, go back to the tree where Lloyd saw something blue in the branches and go on the stump there. Make a sound to call up a boar, which will make the blue object fall from the tree. Pick up the Blue Seed. Go back to the entrance where the pedestal to change the Sorcerer's Ring is and at the left, plant the blue seed next to the pink flower. Blue flowers will appear on the water-lilies. Now go up the root at the left of the entrance and then north to the next screen. Go down the root there, then go left and jump on the water-lily. Make a sound with the Sorcerer's Ring and a fish will bring a chest on the shore near the save point. Go open that chest to find the White Seed. Now go back to the entrance and plant the White Seed next to the blue flower. White flowers will appear on the tree branches around the forest. Go to the right of the entrance, up the large tree root. Jump on the tree branch here and make a sound. A bird will bring you to another branch. On this branch is a large crate. Push it down into the water. Go back using the bird and find the footbridge where the crate is. Cross it to arrive to the tree where the Ymir Fruit is. Climb on the stump and make a sound to call up a boar. It'll make the Ymir Fruit fall, but in the water. From where you are right now, head left, then up the root, left again, and jump on the branch here. Call up a bird to bring you to another area. Go right and climb on the stump there. Call a boar to crush the boulder (if you called the boar on the other side too). If the boulder doesn't break, return to the other side of the boulder to crush it on this side too. Now, from the tree where you found the blue seed, go a bit left, then north. Go on the stump here and call a boar. A bug will fall in the water, and the big fish will start eating it. Then, from the tree where the blue seed was, go on the footbridge at the north and jump on the water-lily here. Call up a fish and it'll move the Ymir Fruit somewhere else (if you gave the big fish a bug to eat). Now find the tree where the Ymir Fruit is nearby and climb on the stump there. Call up a boar and bugs will fall in the water, creating a wave that will make the Ymir Fruit move south. Now go near the place where the Fruit now is, there should be a water-lily nearby. Jump on it and call the fish, which will move the Fruit west. Now go on the footbridge where the 2 big fish are. Jump on the water- lily here, and wait for the fish at the left to go away before calling the fish. As soon as the big fish's (...) bubble disappears, call the fish and it should be able to move the Fruit without being caught by the big fish. If the big fish eats the Fruit, you'll have to start back. If you moved the boulder out of the way, the small fish will bring the fruit near the entrance. If not, crush the boulder first (go back up 3 paragraphs). Now, go to the water-lily at the left of the entrance and call the fish a last time. It'll bring the fruit near the pedestal to change the Sorcerer's Ring. Go pick up the fruit and bring it back to the boy. He'll give you a Metal Sphere and will let you through the village. ___________________________________________ Heimdall - The Hidden Elven Village ------------------------------------- (first visit) There are 2 dogs for Colette in this village, one at the end of a passage under the inn's balcony, and one at the end of the passage under the elder's house's balcony. There are also some good weapons at the customizable weapon shop. Go to the west part of the village at the left of the inn and enter the house at the end of the village. Talk to the elder and you'll receive the Elf Elder's Staff, which will grant you access to Latheon Gorge, where the Mana Leaf Herb is located. Also, enter the room at the right in the elder's house and examine the painting there to find the Wonder Chef (Cream Stew). Then go back to the field, as there's nothing more to do here for the moment. ------------------------------------------- FIELD _______ Items: Elven Boots Now we're heading for Latheon Gorge, to find the Mana Leaf Herb. Latheon Gorge is located southeast from Ymir Forest, at the bottom of a mountain. There is also a chest containing Elven Boots at the right of Latheon Gorge's entrance, on a piece of land accessible only with the Rheairds. If you wish, you can also head back for Mizuho before going to Latheon Gorge, so that Sheena can fight Kuchinawa to get Corrine's Bell back. ___________________________________________ Latheon Gorge --------------- Items: Rare Pellets Enemies: Spiked Snail Elixir Sea Dragon Star Cap Deathseeker Rare Shield Poison Lily Flare Greaves Crush Tortoise Toroid Sheldra Draupnir Fake Battle Pick Ex Gem Lv 3 (x2) Ex Gem Lv 4 (x3) Diablos Show the Elf Elder's Staff to the guard and he'll let you through. Then Raine will notice flowers blowing air. Go straight from the entrance for a chest containing Ex Gem Lv 4. Then, go right and down to find the Sorcerer's Ring pedestal. Change its function. Now, it can transport you in a bubble when standing in front of one of these flowers blowing air. Go north from the Sorcerer's Ring pedestal for a chest containing Rare Pellets. Then, go up the slope at the left and stand in front of the blowing flower. Just before the flower blows some air, get in the bubble to be transported in the air to the other side. There, go up the slope at the right to find a Kirima Tree. Take some Kirima, then go back down the slope and give the withered flower some Kirima to revive it. Then stand in front of it and get in the bubble. It'll transport you to the other side. Go east and cross the bridge to the next screen. From the bridge, follow the dirt path to the end to find a chest containing Ex Gem Lv 3. Then, go up the slope at the left and go left for another chest containing Ex Gem Lv 3 also. Now, if you have gotten the Nebilim Key from Flanoir, go south and down the slope at the left for a black chest. Open it with the key to get Presea's darkness weapon, Diablos. Then, go up the slope at the right of the flower. Take some Kirima from the tree, and go down the other slope to find a withered flower. Give it some Kirima to heal it. Then go back to the previous flower. Stand in front of it and go in the bubble to get blown away. The flower you just healed will blow you to the other side. Then go up the slope to find an Amango Tree. Take some, then go up the slope at the right to the next screen. Go straight, then left for a chest containing Ex Gem Lv 4. Then give some Kirima to the withered flower to revive it. Stand in front of the big purple flower and get in the bubble to be transported to a small isle. Give Kirima to the withered flower here, then stand in front of that flower and go in the bubble to get blown away behind the waterfall. Go left for a chest containing Star Cap. Then, go right and use the flower there to go back to the small isle. Once there, stand in front of the other flower to get blown to the other side. There's a chest here containing Rare Shield. Get in the bubble in front of the big purple flower here to return near where the black chest was. Go back up the mountain to where you were just before going to the small isle. This time, go up the slope at the right and revive the withered flower here with Kirima. Stand in front of it then and have it transport you up to the mountain. Go left for a chest with Flare Greaves. Then go right for another chest with Toroid. Now, go up the slope here and revive the withered flower with Kirima. Then go back down to the flower at the left and have it transport you to the other side. Stand in front of the big purple flower here and get in the bubble to get blown to the next section. In this area are 2 withered flowers on the cliff at the left. Go up the slope to go on that cliff and revive the flower at the left. Then have it transport you to a cliff with a chest containing Ex Gem Lv 4. Then you'll be back at the entrance, so go back up all the way to the area you were just before. This time, have the lone flower transport you to the other side with 2 flowers. Give some Amango to the flower at the right to kill it. Then go in front of the flower at the left and have it transport you to the other side. Here, revive the withered flower at the right. Then go back up the slope to the cliff at the right, and give Amango to the flower there to kill it. Then go back on the cliff at the left and have the flower at the right transport you to the other side. Go up the slope there and revive the flower here with Kirima. Then go up the other slope at the right and have the flower there transport you to the next section. There is a flower here too, so have it transport you over the pit. Then go up the slope at the right and use the big purple flower to reach the other side. There's a flower here too, so have it blow you to cross over the pit (If you fall down here, it's because you forgot to revive a flower below). On the other side, revive the withered flower with Kirima, then stand in front of the other flower to have it transport you over the pit. Then, revive the withered flower here too. Enter the cave and if you're ready, you can fight the fake chest here for an Elixir. Use magic against him. Then go up the slope and defeat the enemy here for a Memory Gem. Go up the slope at the right, then go left and up the slope for a chest with Draupnir. Go back down the 2 slopes, then go left and then south to end up back outside. Revive the flower here with Kirima. Then have it transport you to the other cliff. Have the big purple flower here transport you to another cliff. Have the flower here too transport you up to the cliff above. Finally, go up the slope here to approach the exit. Go up the mountain and revive the withered flower there, then go left, cross the bridge and revive the other withered flower here too. Go back to the previous flower and get in a bubble to get blown away to the top of the mountain where a huge boulder will fall down. Then, go left and enter the storyteller's house. Look in the alcove in the wall behind him to find the Wonder Chef who'll show you how to make Pescatore. Then talk to the storyteller. He'll tell you the Mana Leaf Herb is in a cave below. Save your game, then go south and right for a chest with Battle Pick. Then go left and down to the next screen. Go right and use the flower here to reach the cave. If you made the huge boulder fall, you should be able to access it. Enter it to find the Mana Leaf Herb, but a monster is guarding it. _____ Boss ---- Plantix HP 36000 Exp 7500 TP 250 Gald 1250 Atk 1300 Def 310 Drops Blue Sephira Weak Fire Str Earth This fight is very easy. Have Genis use one of his Lv3 fire spells, like Eruption or Raging Mist, continuously and Raine heal the party. You could also have Sheena and use her spell to attach the fire element to Lloyd's (or anybody else) weapon. This fight shouldn't take too long. After the fight, you'll finally get the Mana Leaf Herb. Go back to talk with the storyteller. Watch the interesting cutscene. Now, you will need to find a Mana Fragment, found only in Derris-Kharlan. But first, you'll need to head for the SE Abbey to pick up Zelos' Cruxis Crystal.

There will be an easy boss battle against Zelos or the Gatekeeper, then save your game and advance to a fork where the path splits in four. Go straight and use the Sorcerer's Ring to shoot some fire to burn the root that's in the way. Continue through the door at the end to arrive in a room with a broken bridge. Jump over the gap to land on the bridge. It'll bend down. Open the chest down there for Diamond Shell.

Walk past the stairs and fight the angel behind the stairway. A chest will appear on the balcony above the room after the battle. Don't worry about it now, you'll get it later on. Enter the room on your right and open the chest inside for Energy Tablets. Now go back to the previous room and go up the stairs. At the top, enter the room on the right. Look behind the sofa inside for a chest containing Prism Guard. Return to the main room, the one with the save point and warp. This time, go left and go through the second door on the left wall. You should be in a long stairway. Start by going left to find a chest with Blue Shield. Then go right and start climbing the stairs. You'll see doors on your way. Go through the fourth door to enter a room with a chest containing Elixir. Then continue to climb up the stairs and go through the next door. Defeat the angel in this room and a chest will appear.

Go to the right and the Future Stone will go into the blue square. New blocks will appear. Go to the black circle with blue symbols on at the left. It acts as a warp. Push the black block into it to warp it to the top of the castle. Then, push it down and right to make it fall into the gap. Two more blocks and it'll make a bridge. Go back and warp the dark blue block. Push it over the black block into the wall. Go back and take the red block this time. Push it over the 2 other blocks to create a bridge over the gap.

His first form is resistant to light, so don't take Colette in your party. I would suggest a party consisting of Lloyd, Raine, Kratos/Zelos and Presea. A good level to be around for this fight would be about Lv75. Make sure you are full of Panacea and Miracle Bottles as Mithos will often cast spells that will affect your status. Or you can simply use Raine's recovery spell. If you brought the max of Life Bottles and various gels in the battle, you should do fine. Also, try to have Raine equipped with accessories or Ex Skills that decrease the spell casting time. She will be able to cast healing spells right away. Use the best techniques of each characters and the fight shouldn't be too hard. It really isn't the hardest fight in the game. Watch the ending and enjoy. Save your game in a different slot after the credits and load that game back on the title screen. With the Grades you earned in battles, you'll be able to buy some extras for your second play through. There are also a lot of side quests you can still do on your first game. Just load back the file from before the fight with Mithos and exit the Tower. Check the side quests section just below for what you can still do before replaying the game.

After finishing the game, you'll be ask to save your game. Do so, and load that file back on the title screen. You'll automatically enter the Grade Shop, where you can buy various extras for your next play through the game. These extras are bought with the grade you received in battles during your previous play through. The best ones sell for the most, unfortunately. If you feel like you don't have enough grade to buy everything you would have wanted to buy, load back (if you didn't overwrite it) your file from before the fight with the final boss and go collect some more grade until you have enough (you can check how many you have by talking to the explorer Katz). Then simply re beat the final boss to access the grade shop again. To increase your grade, I suggest fighting the low level enemies around Iselia or in Iselia Forest. They give approximatively 1.25 grade at the end of a fight. It's not much, but the fights are quickly over so you can get a decent amount of grade under 1 hour. The conditions to receive more grade are to finish the fights quickly, receive little damage, and do a lot of damage to the enemy.
