Please note that I will no longer respond to emails sent to the old address. ======================= Version 1.07 - 09/11/03 ======================= -Updated the Legal Notice above to reflect the fact that my guide can now be found at www.neoseekers.com as well as GameFAQs. -Made a few more very minor changes. ======================= Version 1.06 - 08/23/03 ======================= -Made some (very) minor changes. I probably won't be working on this guide much in the near future, since I feel I've basically accomplished what I initially set out to do. I will probably finish the non-database Gnosis list when I play through the game a second time, whenever that will be. Until then, I consider the guide more or less done. ======================= Version 1.05 - 08/03/03 ======================= -Changed the year in the date at the top of the guide from 08 to 03. Whoops. -Added the last two Gnosis Database entries, Azazel and Oudogogue. -Started on the non-Database Gnosis list. ======================= Version 0.90 - 07/29/03 ======================= -Added neat graphics above. -Made some aesthetic improvements (hopefully) and other revisions. -Added Analysis info in the Database section (missing 2). ======================= Version 0.75 - 07/28/03 ======================= -First version, including a list of all Gnosis found in the Database. +-----=================-----+ TABLE OF CONTENTS +----=================----+ 1 - INTRODUCTION 1.1 - Purpose of This Guide 1.2 - Some Commom Questions, Some Possible Answers 2 - GNOSIS DATABASE 2.1 - List of Gnosis Found in Database 2.1.01 - Kobold 2.1.02 - Ogre 2.1.03 - Troll 2.1.04 - Fairy 2.1.05 - Larva Doll 2.1.06 - Larva Face 2.1.07 - Cerberus 2.1.08 - Gel Fish 2.1.09 - Demon 2.1.10 - Hydra 2.1.11 - Lizardman 2.1.12 - Unicorn 2.1.13 - Wyrm 2.1.14 - Bugbear 2.1.15 - Basilisk 2.1.16 - Delphyne 2.1.17 - Azazel 2.1.18 - Armaros 2.1.19 - Baraqijal 2.1.20 - Drone G1 2.1.21 - Drone G2 2.1.22 - Drone G3 2.1.23 - Goblin 2.1.24 - Manticore 2.1.25 - Sky Fish 2.1.26 - Oudogogue 2.2 - List of Gnosis NOT Found in Database 2.2.01 - Drone GX 3 - CLOSING 3.1 - Some Last Thoughts 3.2 - Acknowledgements On to the good stuff! +-----================-----+ 1 - INTRODUCTION +----================----+ =========================== 1.1 - Purpose of This Guide =========================== I am writing this guide because there seems to be a great deal of confusion about exactly which Gnosis will or will not appear in the Database. Some people seem to think that it's a bug that certain Gnosis don't appear. I don't believe that. Hopefully this guide will shed some light on the subject, so that completionists can be satisfied that they do, in fact, have a complete a Data- base as possible. Just for the record, many of the things mentioned in this guide are either my own observations, or the observations of someone on the message board. Short of the Gnosis names and Analysis info, nothing contained in this guide should be construed as absolute fact. Also, although it should probably go without saying, this guide will contain some (rather minor) spoilers, so be warned. Lastly, let me point out that this guide is based on the North American release of Xenosaga Episode 1: Der Wille zur Macht. This is the only version of the game I am familiar with, and therefore the only version to which this guide is intended to apply. ================================================== 1.2 - Some Common Questions, Some Possible Answers ================================================== Q. What is this 'Gnosis Database' you speak of? A. OK, so no one actually asked this. But for the sake of being complete, the Gnosis database is one of two databases you have access to in Xenosaga Episode I (the other being the Glossary). You first gain access to the database very early in the game (I think just after you first leave the Realian Lab on the Woglinde). You will be alerted via email when the Database first becomes available, and you can access it through the Unus Mundus Network (U.M.N). Q. What is the purpose of the Database? A. The (Gnosis) Database keeps track of *some* of the Gnosis you have defeated in combat. Once you kill a new type of Gnosis, it will automatically appear in your Database. There are some notable exceptions to this, which is what this guide is all about. Additionaly, using the Ether Analyze on a Gnosis will allow you to access the Analyze data for a specific Gnosis in the database. Q. I killed a Gnosis and it didn't appear in the Database! What's up? A. As mentioned above, certain Gnosis do not appear in the Database. Most obvious examples are bosses, but this list can also include other unique Gnosis (which I guess could technically be defined as bosses, although they are, in most cases, optional). Lastly, note that ONLY Gnosis enemies will appear in the Database. Biological and Mechanical type enemies will not appear here no matter what you do. If an enemy doesn't appear in the Database, before anything else, make sure it's actually a Gnosis you're dealing with. I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out how to distinguish between the three types of enemies. Q. So is it possible to be screwed out of having a complete Database? A. Well, that's the question, isn't it? In terms of a specific Gnosis not appearing in the Database at all because you failed to encounter it, I would have to reply in the negative. I think, realistically, every player will have to combat and defeat every type of Gnosis that can be added to the Database (though I'm not commiting myself 100% to that assessment; you know what they say about idiot-proof systems). However, it is VERY possible to miss the chance to Analyze certain Gnosis. This will be noted in the Gnosis List found below. Q. OK, so how many Gnosis should I have in my Database to be all done? A. I believe the common consensus is 26. This is the number I had just before beating the last boss (I have no way of checking if this number is changed after that fight). This is also the number I hear most people quoting on the message board. Q. 26, eh? So what are they and where can they be found? A. Well, that's partly what this quide is about. So quit asking me so many damn questions, and let me get on with it... +-----===================-----+ 2 - GNOSIS DATABASE +----===================----+ ====================================== 2.1 - List of Gnosis Found in Database ====================================== As mentioned, the database is accessed by going to the menu, and then selecting U.M.N.-->database-->Gnosis (after acquiring the database, of course). In the Database you can look up a specific Gnosis (assuming the Gnosis is a candidate for the Database and you have successfully defeated it at least once), rotate it (whee!), zoom in/out, and look up the Analysis info for that Gnosis by pressing O (again assuming that you've used Analyze on it at least once). This section will recreate the Database I had at the end of the game, which I am fairly sure is about as complete as it gets. ------------------------- 2.1.01 - No. 001 - Kobold ------------------------- ANALYSIS INFO: HP 00280/00280 Weakness: L EXP 0000000260 Money 0000000000 T.Pts 0012 E.Pts 0004 S.Pts 0010 Rare Item: -- Item: Kobold Blade ENCOUNTERED: Encephalon, Kukai Foundation ----------------------- 2.1.02 - No. 002 - Ogre ----------------------- ANALYSIS INFO: HP 00800/00800 Weakness: Sp EXP 0000000380 Money 0000000000 T.Pts 0012 E.Pts 0000 S.Pts 0000 Rare Item: Skill Upgrade A Item: Antidote ENCOUNTERED: Cathedral Ship ------------------------ 2.1.03 - No. 003 - Troll ------------------------ ANALYSIS INFO: HP 01200/01200 Weakness: Sp EXP 0000000560 Money 0000000000 T.Pts 0030 E.Pts 0002 S.Pts 0006 Rare Item: Med Kit DX Item: Med Kit S ENCOUNTERED: Encephalon NOTE: Funny thing, the first Troll I encountered (near Segment Address No. 5 in the Encephalon) didn't show up in my Database.

IIRC, this is *the only time in the game* you will encounter *this* variety of Sky Fish (I think you fight some similar-looking enemies in the Encephalon which, incidentally, do not appear in the Database). Come to think of it, it might be possible to avoid killing them altogether if you concentrate your attacks on the main boss, so make sure you kill (and Analyze) at least one (of two) first. There's a small possibility that even if you do not off one, it will still appear in the Database just by killing the main boss, but better safe than sorry, eh? ---------------------------- 2.1.26 - No. 026 - Oudogogue ---------------------------- ANALYSIS INFO: HP 01000/01000 Weakness: Sl EXP 0000000800 Money 0000000000 T.Pts 0050 E.Pts 0050 S.Pts 0010 Rare Item: Frame Repair Z Item: Frame Repair A ENCOUNTERED: Cathedral Ship (w/ boss) NOTE: Similar to Sky Fish, except appearing (again as a pair) with the final boss of the Cathedral Ship, Gargoyle. Again, the *only time they will be encountered* is along with Gargoyle. They hold a *special* place in my heart for being the one thing keeping me from having a perfect Database. Oh, well, that's what second play-throughs are for, I guess. ========================================== 2.2 - List of Gnosis NOT Found in Database ========================================== I hope to develop this section further in the future. Basically, no boss Gnosis will apear in the DB (for the moment let's define 'boss' as a unique, unusually strong Gnosis that you must defeat in order to advance the story). There are some other cases as well. One clue as to whether or not an enemy will appear in your DB is actually given by the your characters themselves. When encountering bosses and other unique monsters they will usually say something different than when encountering normal enemies. For example, chaos will say "This is no ordinary force. Everyone, be careful!" I am fairly sure this occurs only for the types of battles described above. So keep an ear open. ----------------- 2.2.01 - Drone GX ----------------- ANALYSIS INFO: HP 00420/00420 Weakness: Sl EXP 0000000100 Money 0000000000 T.Pts 0024 E.Pts 0012 S.Pts 0008 Rare Item: -- Item: Ether Pack S ENCOUNTERED: KOS-MOS Simulator +-----===========-----+ 3 - CLOSING +----===========----+ ======================== 3.1 - Some Last Thoughts ======================== First, I'd like to thank you, the reader, for reading my guide. Hopefully it was helpful to you. I realize that there are still some questions that remain unanswered. For example, why is it that enemies such as Sky Fish, Oudogogue, and Wyrm seem to defy the pattern of one-time encounters not showing up in the Database? One possible answer to this (observed very astutely by juggleknot of the Xenosaga message board) is that those enemies may be common encounters in one of the future episodes in this series. Personally, I like this explanation very much, as it may also explain why the numbers given in the database entries have three digits when you encounter only 26 candidates. Two digits would have been more than enough for that number (99 max, as opposed to 999). UPDATE: Well, it seems that Episode II didn't really clarify any of the above. Too bad... At any rate, this concludes the Gnosis Database Guide. ====================== 3.2 - Acknowledgements ====================== Still here? Then you might as well read about these people that helped me with the guide (in alphabetical order): juggleknot - for his interesting observation regarding Gnosis encounters in future episodes (see above). Shin Scias - for asking some of the questions that got this guide rolling, and also for having a cool BoF IV-inspired name. Wasari - for his many contributions to this guide. Well, that covers it for now. If I have left anyone out, I assure you it was not intentional. Please bring it to my attention immediately. Thank you. -RandomNumbers -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
