Introduction -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Hi. I'm ZiNgA BuRgA (in case you haven't realised that already), and this is my first walkthrough that I've ever writtern, so I hope you find it useful. Anyways, I've seen a few challenges for Seiken Densetsu 3 (hereby referred to as SD3) such as the Single Character Challenge, but what about the classic Low-Level Game? I know AbsoluteZero has written a Low-Level Walkthrough for SD3, but it's incomplete and I don't think he has any intention of completing it (considering the date). __________________ / 1a What is this \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ A Low-Level Challenge is perhaps one of the most "classic" challenges. Simply, the aim of the Low-Level Game (hereby referred to as LLG) is to finish the game at the lowest possible level. Due to the difficulty of this challenge, you probably won't bother trying to finish the game at the _lowest possible_ level, but will be very close to. So, the aim is to finish the game with an average party level of 30 or lower. This guide actually guides you through completing Carlie's quest with the least amount of Exp possible (thus the lowest possible level). ___________________________________ / 1b Should you do this challenge? \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This challenge is not easy. Also, unlike the Single Character Challenge (hereby referred to as SCC), in which you can always level up, if you're having problems with a particular boss, there is no "easy way out", that I can think of, for a LLG. So if you wish to try this challenge I HIGHLY RECOMMEND: - You've completed the game at least once - I recommend playing on an emulator. You _can_ finish a low level challenge on the actual SNES, but this is _really_ hard! Of course, you have absolutely no obligation to do this quest - it is completely optional. Do note that this challenge may take you a long time to complete. Also you'll be consistantly using your emulator's "save state" fuction. ________________ / 1c The Point? \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ . _______________ / 1d The Rules \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ 1. Avoid unnecessary fights (should be obvious). You will be forced to fight bosses (obviously) and some forced "normal" enemies. This minimises the amount of Exp you gain (and thus, lowering your level). I will allow some exceptions, for example, enemies spawned by bosses. 2. No cheating! That's it. Do whatever else to give yourself the greatest advantage! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 2. Notes & Tips -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= General notes and tips are placed here to avoid repetition in the walkthrough. You should at least skim this section before reading the actual walkthrough. ________________ / 2a Characters \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ I recommend you choose these characters: Carlie (main), Hawk (2nd), Kevin (3rd) These are the characters I assume you have chosen. Here are some other teams I suggest: Kevin, Carlie, Hawk/Angela (for Kevin's quest) Angela, Hawk/Kevin, Carlie (for the Angela/Duran quest) Hawk, Kevin, Carlie (for the Hawk/Lise quest) You can choose a different team if you wish, but keep these in consideration: - You will never have enough experience to perform the second class change, so don't select characters because they have a good final class - Although you will be able to perform the first class change, you will only be able to after you've beaten a few God Beasts. - Carlie/Kevin have the easiest end boss - This guide assumes you have chosen the above team, so if you choose different characters, you will probably have to change some strategies etc - If you don't want to do the Carlie/Kevin quest, I recommend you choose Hawk (for the Hawk/Lise quest) or Angela (for the Angela/Duran quest) as your main character. - Angela _may_ make the game a bit easier - I've chosen Hawk because his Body Change allows you to finish the game at a lower level. The following is what I think about each character: .: Duran :. Not a very good character for a LLG. He can only fight in his first class, which Kevin and Hawk are better at. His second classes aren't great either. As a Knight, he only learns Heal Light (useful, but Carlie learns it during her first class). As a Gladiator, he learns the four main elemental sabers, which Carlie learns in her second class, plus you can use claws instead of sabers. ________________ _______________________/ MAX STAT CHART \_______________________ | STAT | INITIAL | FIGHTER | KNIGHT GLADIATOR | | Strength * | 6 | 12 | 17 18 | | Agility | 4 | 10 | 15 16 | | Vitality | 5 | 11 | 17 17 | | Intelligence | 2 | 8 | 13 14 | | Spirit | 2 | 8 | 14 13 | | Luck | 2 | 8 | 14 13 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯( * speciality)¯¯¯¯ .: Kevin :. A good character for a LLG. Since a lot of boss battles will be long a good fighter is definitely needed, and Kevin is the best. Most of the time, he will be the only character who deals more than 1 damage. For his second class, they're both fairly good. ________________ _______________________/ MAX STAT CHART \_______________________ | STAT | INITIAL | GRAPPLER | MONK BASHKAR | | Strength | 4 | 10 | 15 16 | | Agility | 3 | 9 | 14 15 | | Vitality * | 6 | 12 | 18 18 | | Intelligence | 2 | 8 | 13 14 | | Spirit | 2 | 8 | 14 13 | | Luck | 2 | 8 | 14 13 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯( * speciality)¯¯¯¯ .: Hawk :. Not too bad a character, but not great either. He can only fight during his first class, but doesn't deal much damage, although he does attack twice. He second classes are pretty good though. Although a Ranger is usually a bad class, Body Change is very useful if you want to try to achive the lowest possible level. As a Ninja, he has stat lowering Jutsus, which are even more effective if used with Scales, but by the time you learn them, there aren't many hard bosses (exept DeathJester) to use them against. ________________ _______________________/ MAX STAT CHART \_______________________ | STAT | INITIAL | THIEF | RANGER NINJA | | Strength | 3 | 9 | 14 15 | | Agility * | 6 | 12 | 17 18 | | Vitality | 3 | 9 | 15 15 | | Intelligence | 3 | 9 | 14 15 | | Spirit | 3 | 9 | 15 14 | | Luck * | 6 | 12 | 18 17 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯( * speciality)¯¯¯¯ .: Angela :. An okay character. Her spells do decent damage, but usually less than Kevin's Level 1 tech. Also, because of limited MP, she won't be able to cast many spells before you need to replenish her MP. For her second class, you should choose the Sorceress (the Delvar is really bad), in which she learns stronger level 2 spells. ________________ _______________________/ MAX STAT CHART \_______________________ | STAT | INITIAL | MAGICIAN | SORCERESS DELVAR | | Strength | 2 | 8 | 14 13 | | Agility | 2 | 8 | 14 13 | | Vitality | 2 | 8 | 14 14 | | Intelligence *| 6 | 12 | 17 18 | | Spirit | 5 | 11 | 17 16 | | Luck | 4 | 10 | 14 13 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯( * speciality)¯¯¯¯ .: Carlie :. An almost essential character. Her Heal Light is very useful. Usually having 9 Round Drops isn't enough for most boss battles, but with Carlie you can also bring 9 Faerie Walnuts (Pakkun Chocolates and Honey Drinks aren't worth buying). Since each Walnut gives you enough MP to cast Heal 6 times, this is equivalent to 54 Heal Lights - enough for any boss. Also, her high spirit also makes Poto Oils a lot more effective. For her second class, she can perform multi-target Heal Lights which are even more useful. ________________ _______________________/ MAX STAT CHART \_______________________ | STAT | INITIAL | CLERIC | PRIESTESS ENCHANTRESS | | Strength | 2 | 8 | 13 14 | | Agility | 2 | 8 | 14 13 | | Vitality | 2 | 8 | 14 14 | | Intelligence | 5 | 11 | 16 17 | | Spirit * | 6 | 12 | 18 17 | | Luck | 5 | 11 | 16 17 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯( * speciality)¯¯¯¯ .: Lise :. A very bad character for a LLG. She can't really do anything during her first class, except fight, which she is bad at. Her second classes are pretty bad as well. For Valkyrie, well, you may as well use Scales - they only cost 22 Luc each (and you don't need many). For a Rune Maiden, stat downs are useful, but you may as well choose Hawk's Ninja class. ________________ _______________________/ MAX STAT CHART \_______________________ | STAT | INITIAL | AMAZONESS | VALKYRIE RUNE MAIDEN | | Strength | 5 | 11 | 17 16 | | Agility | 5 | 11 | 16 17 | | Vitality | 4 | 10 | 16 16 | | Intelligence | 4 | 10 | 15 16 | | Spirit | 4 | 10 | 16 15 | | Luck | 3 | 9 | 14 15 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ _______________________ / 2b Items & Equipment \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ One thing to note in a LLG, is that your money is limited. Don't go spending it on unnecessary items. a) Until you reach the God Beasts, don't buy unnecessary items, like: Pakkun Chocolates Honey Drinks Mama Poto Oil If fact, you don't need these items at all for the entire game. b) Don't upgrade your armor or weapons unless I tell you to. c) Don't bother with Magic Ropes, if you're really short on money. d) Usually, when you re-stock on items, you should have at least 9 Round Drops. Also, it's not a bad idea to keep extra Round Drops (about 3-9) in your storage. These are for those places where there's no Gold Statue before the boss. You can heal your party with Round Drops before the boss, then fill up your item ring with the stored Round Drops. ________________ / 2c Experience \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ This is how experience is given out when you defeat a monster/boss: - if beating the monster results in a "Victory" (ie the "Victory!" message appears, or you defeated a boss) all dead characters are revived and recieve the experience NOTE: that bosses which have more than one "part", ie they spawn enemies, or are divided into different targetable "parts", killing the boss doesn't count as a "Victory". Bosses which do this are: - Genova (if spawns are left alive) - Xan Bie (if the "top part" is left alive) - Zable Fahr (if the left and right heads are left alive) - DeathJester (it's possible for the 'fake' parts to 'die' last) Interestingly, Mispolm seems to be an exception - not everyone _will_ get Exp (some dead characters may not recieve the Exp); I'm not sure how it works, but I've managed to get only one character recieving the Exp. I think the order of who dies affects this - I kill off Kevin then Carlie. - if beating the monster doesn't result in a victory, then experience is only given the alive characters Note that if a boss spawns enemies, defeating the boss will not result in a "victory" if enemies still exist. Thus only alive characters will get the Exp. Also note that the spawned enemies will still give experience, but only to characters which are alive. Another thing to note is that, quite often, you will gain 2 levels from a boss battle. Since you can only gain one level per fight, when you "gain" 2 levels, you gain one of them after the boss fight, then, if you check the amount of experience you need for the next level, there will be a 0. Now I'm not sure if this is a bug, but even when you don't gain any Exp, you may gain another level. I think this only happens when a character (other than the one to gain a level) is killed by a normal enemy. For initial experience, your first character starts off with 0 Exp (Level 1), your second character starts off with 127-129 Exp (Level 4) and your third starts off with 128-130 Exp (Level 4). I won't be pedantic enough to be bothered about having 2 more Exp, so, unless you really want to, don't bother trying to get 0/127/128 Exp initial characters. Note that this guide assumes you have started with 0/127/128 Exp initial characters. ___________________ / 2d Raising Stats \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ When you do gain a level, these are the stats I recommend you raise for each character. Always try to raise the first one in the list, but if you can't, raise the second in the list and so forth: Duran: Strength, Vitality, Intelligence, Agility, Spirit, Luck Kevin: Strength, Vitality, Intelligence, Agility, Spirit, Luck Hawk: Strength, Agility, Vitality, Intelligence, Luck, Spirit Angela: Intelligence, Vitality, Agility, Strength, Luck, Spirit Carlie: Spirit, Vitality, Intelligence, Agility, Luck, Strength Lise: Vitality, Intelligence, Strength, Agility, Luck, Spirit If you don't know what the stats do, here's an explanation: .: Strength (STR) :. The amount of damage your physical attacks do is determine partially by this stat. Only really useful for Kevin, since he should be your attacker (and is the strongest in the game) and maybe Hawk (the second strongest attacker). For Angela or Carlie, don't bother raising this stat. (Note that Level 1 techs are strength based) .: Agility (DEX) :. This increases your Hit Rate (lowers the chance you have of missing physical attacks) and Evade Rate (increases the chance enemies have of missing physical attacks). Not particularly a great stat to raise, but as it is Hawk's speciality, you may as well raise it for him (he learns various spells/abilities at certain Agility levels, plus Agility determines the amount of damage done by his spells). .: Vitality (CON) :. A good stat to raise. This raises Defense (lowers the amount of damage dealt by enemies' physical attacks) and your Max HP. .: Intelligence (INT) :. Raises Magic Defense and Magic Damage. As a defensive stat, it's usually better to raise Vitality as it also raises your Max HP. Angela should raise this stat, otherwise raise it after raising Vitality. I think this stat also affects the damage done by "Magic Coins" (ie Ice Coin, Light Coin etc). .: Spirit (PIE) :. A pretty useless stat, but this is good for Carlie (which you _should_ have on your team). Raises the effectiveness of non-offensive spells such as Heal Light. This also affects the effectiveness of magical support items (ie Poto Oil). .: Luck (LUC) :. A fairly useless stat. Don't ever bother raising this. This increases the chance of critical hits, which are very rare. Also reduces the chance of gettting a negative effect from opening chests. Since you are trying not the beat up enemies, you won't be opening many chests. ____________________ / 2e Class Changing \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ You will only be able to class change once. When a character reaches level 18, you should immediately class change. You should only be at this level after defeating a few God Beasts, so when a character reaches L18, fly Flammie to the Mana Holyland and class change. Here's my recommendations on which class to choose: .: Duran - Knight (Light) :. This is one of the reasons I think Duran is a bad character (for a LLG) - none of his second classes are any good (his first class is even worse). Nevertheless, as a Gladiator, he only learns the four basic sabres - you may as well use the claws instead (oh, I do guess they cost a hefty 40 Luc ). Although the Knight's Heal Light is useless next to Carlie's, you do get to equip a shield... .: Kevin - Monk (Light) :. Although the Bashkar is slightly stronger, for most of the game, there isn't much of a difference. The Monk's Heal Light, altough not that useful (you should use Carlie's Heal Light instead, or a Round Drop) may help you. Also, the Monk learns a full screen tech, which can come in handy in various situations. .: Hawk - Ranger (Light) :. The Ranger is actually worse than the Ninja, but I've chosen the Ranger because of his Body Change spell, allowing you to avoid gaining some levels. If you can't be bothered trying to achieve the lowest possible level, I guess you can choose the Ninja. .: Angela - Sorceress (Light) :. Well, the Delvar just sucks (only learns Dark Force), so hmmmm, what does that leave...? .: Carlie - Priestess (Light) :. The main reason you class change Carlie is for her multi-targetable Heal Light, which both of her second classes have. The Priestess has higher Spirit, meaning a more effective Heal Light, than the Enchantress. Also, the Enchantress's summons are pretty worthless - they barely do any damage. .: Lise - Rune Maiden (Dark) :. You can stat up yourself with items, so there's no reason to choose the Valkyrie... Also I don't want to recommend you choose the Light class for every character....... _________________ / 2f Battle Tips \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ a) Try to avoid using Angel Grails - they do cost a hefty 100 Luc b) If Kevin is in your party, fighting at nighttime helps c) If the enemy is elemental, DON'T fight it on the element's day, for example, don't fight Genova (fire element) on Salamando's Day, instead fight it on Undine's Day. In case you don't know which element is weak against which, here's a chart: Fire (Salamando) <--> Ice (Undine) Tunder/Air (Jinn) <--> Earth (Gnome) Light (Wisp) <--> Dark (Shade) Moon (Luna) <--> Leaf/Wood (Dryad) So that is fire is weak against ice and vice versa, etc. And here's the days of the week, in order: Mana Holy Day (is this a "neutral" day?) Luna's Day Salamando's Day Undine's Day Dryad's Day Jinn's Day Gnome's Day One other thing to note is that time passes faster when you are on Booskaboo or Flammie. d) Here's a trick with Heal Light. If the character you are controlling is about to be killed by a spell, quickly cast Heal Light on it. If done correctly, the spell will hit, reducing the character to 1 HP (rather than killing it), then Heal Light will kick in and restore the character's HP. Note that you can even prevent "death" spells, like Death Roulette or DeathSpell from killing you with this technique! e) Here's another trick with spells. To make casting spells faster, while the character is chanting the spell, bring up the menu, wait for a second, then exit the menu. The spell should be cast almost instantly. f) Quite a lot of the time, a boss's physical attack will really hurt. Try to dodge these attacks if you can. It should also be noted that the AI can't really dodge either. Sometimes you will have to temporarily control another character by using the L or R buttons. g) The Chibikko Hammer. Once you get this item, you pretty much don't need any Puipui Grass, Mama Poto Oil or Tinkle Rain. You see, the game only allows you to have one negative status at a time. So for example, you are silenced, simply use the Chibikko Hammer on that character. The character will no longer be silenced, but be a Chibikko (small thingy). Now use the hammer again on that character to un-Chibikko him/her. h) Note that when you are chanting a spell, the character won't be affected by status changes. i) Don't use Kevin's or Hawk's level 2 tech - it's weaker than the level 1 tech (because the level 1 tech attacks twice). An exception is Kevin's full screen level 2 tech, which you will only sometimes use. So when they class change, set the AI's default tech to the level 1 one. j) Also, when Carlie's tech starts doing 1 damage, you may as well disable her from using techs altogether, since this may cause troubles when you want to cast spells. Again, change the AI's default tech to None k) You should neer control a spellcaster (Carlie or Angela). This will stop you from bring up the "Ring Command" while they're casting a spell (you also loose the ability to do the quick spell trick). Exceptions to this are when you want to move the character to a certain spot. l) Sometimes, "attack" spells (such as Fireball) or level 2 techs will incite a boss to use stronger attacks on you. m) To gain the least amount of Exp from forced battles, try to only have one character alive when you defeat each enemy. This way, only one character will gain the Exp. ___________________ / 2g Miscellaneous \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ a) Your average party level should usually be about half the the levels which "normal" enemies are at. b) You can get a "free heal" at Jad, after getting the Pihyara Flute. Go to Jad, and from the south entrance go straight up. After that keep going up until there's some stairs leading down towards the right. Go down these stairs to find the prison cell and a Gold Statue. c) The difficulty rating for boss battles is out of 5 stars. This is what they mean: * Relatively Easy ** Moderate *** Moderately Hard **** Hard ***** Very Hard Note these are "relative". That means just because a boss is rated one star, it doesn't mean it's really easy to beat, but it's easy in comparison to other bosses. d) In this guide I will show you which directions to follow, but most of the time it's pretty obvious where to go. Just make sure you don't get caught in an unneccessary forced battle. I will indicate when you are forced into a battle. ___________________ / 2h Abbreviations \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ SD3 - You should be able to figure out this one (Seiken Densetsu 3) LLG - Low Level Game BA - B-button Attack (the special attack a character performs when you press the B-button, ie their tech) L# - Level #, ie "Kevin L4" means "level 4 Kevin" or "L1 BA" means "Level 1 B-button attack" Exp - Experience Lvl - Level HP - Hit Points (Health) Att - Attack (or Attack Power) Def - Defense (or Defensive Power) MDef - Magic Defense (or Magic Defensive Power) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 3.

Watch the intro clip, then when you gain control of Carlie, go up through the door, up the staircase, then down through the leftmost door. Talk to the guy in the room, then go down through the exit he took. Now go through the rightmost door. Walk between the two rightmost beds and you will be prompted a question. Choose the approriate answer (don't worry, you can always try again if you get it wrong :)). When you get up, exit through the south door. Now head through the southmost door, then any south exit. Walk right and talk to the guy again. Then 'talk' to the yellow thing. Watch the scene and you'll be sent to Astoria. .: Lakeshore Village Astoria :. When you regain control, walk south twice to exit the inn, then head through Astoria's only north exit. .: Rabite Forest :. Head north again, and DON'T FIGHT the Rabbites. Head north again to find Heath. When you regain control, try to head back to Astoria, to watch Heath get attacked by DeathJester. Now watch the cinematic. .: Lakeshore Village Astoria :. You will arrive back at Astoria. Now you'll need to talk to two people. Head eastwards and find the lady that looks like she's wearing a shower cap (and talk to her), then go south to find the guy standing next to the lake (and talk to him). Now head back north to the inn and stay for a night (what a waste of 10 Luc). When you wake up, exit the inn and exit Astoria through the north exit. .: Rabite Forest :. Go north again, then west (don't fight the monsters!!!), south, west, heal at the statue, then south, south, east and talk to the faerie. Now head back to Astoria. When you arrive, exit Astoria again. Then head east to meet Hawk. So if you've done everything right, you should have the following stats: Carlie, 0 Exp (Level 1) Hawk, 127 Exp (Level 4) (note that Hawk may have 127-129 Exp, see section 2c for more info) and should have about 45 Luc. ________________________________ / 3b Wisp - The Spirit of Light \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ________________________________________________________________ | wisp | | noun | | 1. something resembling thread: something that is thin and | | delicate like thread, especially a lock of hair, a piece | | of straw, or a streak of smoke | | 2. somebody slender and delicate: somebody or something | | that is slender and delicate | | - a wisp of a child | | 3. something insubstantial: something that is vague and | | fleeting | | - a wisp of a memory | | [...] | | [14th century.

Now head east and enter the cave. Inside the cave head south, heal at the Gold Statue, then south, southeast, west, west, northwest, southwest. Now you should be outside the cave, so head west into Wendel. .: Holy City Wendel :. Go through Wendel's north 'exit', then north again to enter the Temple of Light. Go up again, then walk up to the Priest and talk to him. Watch the clip, then exit the temple. When you arrive back in Wendel, head to the item shop. Buy 9 Round Drops, then exit Wendel through the east exit. Head northeast back into the cave. .: Cave of the Waterfalls :. Inside the cave, go east, southeast, east, northeast, northwest, heal at the statue, then south, west, get over the waterfall, west, northwest, north, west and heal at the statue. Now we need to make our way to the boss. Try not to take too much damage from enemies. From the statue, go east, east, southeast, north and then north to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Full Metal Hugger | | HP: 1500 (he looses his right eye at about 350HP) | | Victory: 441 Luc, 24 Exp | | Type: Light (weak against Dark) | | Difficulty: * (Easy) | | | | This guy is fairly easy.

After the cinematic, figure out how to escape from jail (it's not very hard). Kevin will join. Now heal at the statue. If you've done everything right, you should have the following stats: Carlie, 24 Exp (Level 1) Hawk, 151 Exp (Level 4) Kevin, 128 Exp (Level 4) and have about 486 Luc. Now, go west up the stairs, and keep going south until you exit the castle. Now go to the harbour (next to the inn) and take the free ride. _________________________________ / 3c Gnome - The Spirit of Earth \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ________________________________________________________________ | gnome | | (plural gnomes) | | noun | | 1. mythology tiny supernatural being: according to old folk | | tales, one of a race of small beings usually portrayed | | as hunchbacked men with long white beards who live in | | the earth guarding treasure | | 2. statue of gnome: a small figure or statue representing a | | gnome, used as an ornament | | 3. offensive term: an offensive term deliberately insulting | | somebody thought of as small and, often, ugly | | | | [Mid-17th century.

You will arrive at Maia. Enter the Item/Weapon shop and buy Round Drops until you have 9, and 3 more in storage, and perhaps buy 2 Angel's Grails just in case. Remember, do NOT buy and wepon/armor upgrades! After buying the stuff you should have about 240 Luc (maybe a bit less if you used too many Round Drops against Full Metal Hugger). Now try to exit Maia through the only west exit. .: Golden Road :. After you leave town, go west, north, west, west, southwest, south then northwest. .: Cleft of the Earth :. If you want to make the next boss fight slightly easier, you can keep entering and exiting the Cleft of the Earth till it's nighttime (also make sure it's not Gnome's or Salamando's day - I'm not sure what type the Machine Golems are, but just to be safe). Note that this may take quite a long time, so use your emulator's "turbo" feature to your advantage. When it becomes nighttime, enter the Cleft of the Earth, and heal your characters with Round Drops (don't use more than 3), then restock your supply with the Round Drops I told you to put in storage. This is just to make the battle a bit easier - I still found the boss easy without it being nighttime or healing my party before the battle (in fact, I didn't heal at all during the battle as well). Now head west, south and west to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Machine Golems 2x | | HP: 605 (each) | | Victory: 2x118 Luc, 2x16 Exp | | Type: Earth? (weak against Wind?) | | Difficulty: *½ (Easy) | | | | This battle actually isn't that hard. Take | | control of Hawk and only heal Hawk. Make sure the | | other two characters are dead when you beat the | | first Golem, so only Hawk recieves the experience. | | Don't bother reviving the other characters, Hawk | | should be able to beat one Golem by itself. Also | | note that a few of the Golem's attacks are dodgeable | | so try not to take as much damage as you can. I got | | through the battle without using any Round Drops. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, Carlie should level up; raise her Spirit and she should learn Heal Light (very useful). Now make your way back to Maia. .: Free City Maia :. Got to the Item/Weapon shop and restock on Round Drops, remembering the extra 3 for storage. Also make sure you have at least 1 Angel's Grail (I recommend 2). Now go to the northeastern house and talk to the guy in there. Then go through the north gate and talk to the guy again. Now exit the house and talk to the old man which stands below some pots (he doesn't move). .: Cleft of the Earth :. Now make your way back to the Cleft of the Earth. Make sure it's nighttime - if it isn't keep entering/exiting the Cleft of the Earth until it is. Also make sure it's not Gnome's Day. After that, 'talk' to the Grey Statue and figure out what to do. After Wisp opens a pathway, head though it, then go southeast and north. .: Dwarf Village :. In the Dwarf Village, head to the Item shop and talk to the guy there. Don't bother buying anything (you're already stocked up on items from Maia right?). Exit the village through the south exit, then head eastwards and talk to the guy there (he bombs you, nice guy, huh?). .: Dwarf Tunnel :. Head through the pathway opened up by the bomb, go northeast, northwest, west, north (turn east at the corner), east and talk to the guy here (gee, a lot of talking takes place). Graciously accept his offers - if you have the money (you don't) and he should run away claiming that you are trying to rip him off (actually, I get the feeling that he's trying to rip _you_ off). Head west, west, southwest, southwest, west, southwest, northwest, northeast, east, north, east, east, northwest, west, west, west, southwest, south. Now heal your characters with Round Drops (don't use more than 3) and restock your supply with the Round Drops in your storage. Savestate, then head northwest. Talk to Watts again, and he will trap you (dwarves sure are nice to you) with: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Jewel Eater | | HP: 3380 | | Victory: 879 Luc, 48 Exp | | Type: Earth (weak against Wind) | | Difficulty: *** (Moderately Hard) | | | | This guy is fairly hard. You'll quickly run out | | resources if you're not careful. Use Carlie's Heal | | Light whenever you need to heal, rather than Round | | Drops, and don't heal unless you don't have to. | | Also take advantage of the "Heal Light trick" (see | | section 2f). When Carlie runs out of MP, just let | | her die, and only revive her when you need to heal. | | Grand Slam and Power Punch are really strong attacks | | which hit your whole party. Jewel Eater casts | | Protect Up when he has aboud 600HP, so that you know | | he's dying. All in all, this may seem like a long | | battle, but most of the battles you will fight will | | be about this long. I managed to finish the battle | | only using 7 Round Drops and 1 Angel's Grail. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, Carlie and Hawk should level up. Raise Carlie's Vitality and Hawk's Strength. Carlie should learn Tinkle Rain. Now talk to Watts, who has become less mean, and he will give you some Gunpowder (about time) and then warp you back to the Cleft of the Earth. If you've done everything right, these should be your stats: Carlie, 88 Exp (Level 3) Hawk, 233 Exp (Level 5) Kevin, 194 Exp (Level 4) and you should have about 1300+ Luc. .: Free City Maia :. Anyways, head back to Maia. Go back to the northeastern house and talk to Bon Voyage. After a display of weaponary, he'll tell you to go out the back - do so. Talk to him again and he'll shoot you to Forcena (or at least try to). See how nice this guy is? He gets you to do a lot of stuff for him, and he doesn't even get you to Forcena. Oh, well, I guess you're close enough. .: Molebear Highlands :. You'll land in the Molebear Highlands. Go north, north, down the holes and you'll meet Duran. Now here's another nice guy: after he hints you to help them, he just leaves you. Anyway, go southeast, east, south, east, eastwards and down the hole, then ignore the other holes (you shouldn't be playing with holes, well at least not too many of them :)) and go northeast. From here, go north. The only thing to do here is play with the hole, so you may as well do so. When you get bored of playing with the holes, go north, northeast and north. .: Grasslands Country Forcena :. After watching the cinematic, head through a north door (it doesn't matter which one). Heal at the statue, then go north three times. Now go through the northmost archway, then north three times again (lucky number three). Koren will withdraws his forces because you've arrived (I wouldn't if I were him). Anyways, after his questionable departure, talk to the King. After he talks to you go south four times and talk to Bon Jour (hello?). Now go south twice. Wait for daytime (if it's not already), then head into the southwestern most house (the one in which you can actually see the door, not the ones you enter from the right). Talk to the lady sitting at the table, then exit the house. Now head north twice and talk to the cannon guy. Wow, his aim is actually accurate. _______________________________ / 3d Jinn - The Spirit of Wind \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ________________________________________________________________ | jinni | | (plural jinn) djinni (plural djinn) | | noun | | Islamic magic spirit: in Islamic mythology, a spirit that | | can take on various human and animal forms and makes | | mischievous use of its supernatural powers.

You'll arrive back in Maia. Exit Bon Voyage's house (why you'd want to stay there with that crazy guy I don't know). .: Golden Road :. Head west to the Golden Road and make your way back to the Cleft of the Earth. From there, head south (back to the Golen Road), south, southwest, west then south into Byzel. .: Mechant City Byzel :. Head southeast to the harbour and board the boat (you get 150 Luc ripped off you). .: Fishing Harbor Palo :. You arrive in Palo. Head to the weapon shop and upgrade Hawk's weapon ONLY. Remember to equip it, then exit Palo through the west exit. .: Path to the Heavens :. Now we need to collect some ChibiDevil's Eyes. Okay, now fight the monsters - ensuring that there's a ChibiDevil out of the three monsters. Remember to have only Hawk alive before you beat monster (so only he will get the Exp). Also make sure you don't kill the ChibiDevil yet. Once you've killed off the two Zombies or NeedleBirds, attack the ChibiDevil, saving state every time you score a hit. Now when you kill the ChibiDevil, if a chest is not dropped, load state, then kill the ChibiDevil again. Repeat this until a chest is dropped. Once a chest is dropped, again, savestate, then open the chest. If you don't get a ChibiDevil's Eye then loadstate and open the chest again (ChibiDevil's Eyes are rarely given - you'll most likely get a Puipui Grass). Also try pushing the chest around and opening it from different sides. Remember to always use Hawk to open chests (he has the hightest Luck). You should get one ChibiDevil's Eye per "Victory!". This procedure _will_ take quite a while. And the bad news is that you will need 21, yes that's 21!!! ChibiDevil's Eyes. Heal between battles, if you need to, using Carlie's Heal Light. The monsters shouldn't be too hard to beat, if you stand on that elevated area, try to only get one Zombie/NeedleBird to come up at a time. To 'reset' the area, after you've won a battle, go south then east to the beach, then come back and the enemies should be 'reset'. You can also exit the area if you're affected by Poison or Small, but make sure you don't 'reset' the enemies in this case. If you wish to know the stats of the enemies, here they are: _____________ _________________________/ BATTLE INFO \________________________ | Possible Enemies: | | NAME LVL EXP LUC HP ATT DEF MDEF TYPE | | Chibi-Devil 8 8 36 68 47 23 6 Dark | | NeedleBird 8 6 18 74 46 22 1 Wind | | Zombie 8 6 18 90 45 31 1 Dark | | | | Dropped Items: | | NAME ITEMS | | Chibi-Devil Puipui Grass, Item Seed, ChibiDevil's Eye | | NeedleBird Round Drop, Bird's Scale, Storm Coin | | Zombie Puipui Grass, Magical Rope, Dreamease Herb | | | | Combinations (Day): | | - NeedleBird, NeedleBird, NeedleBird | | - NeedleBird, NeedleBird, Chibi-Devil | | Combinations (Night): | | - NeedleBird, NeedleBird, Chibi-Devil | | - Zombie, Zombie, Chibi-Devil | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ During this item collecting task, everyone will level up - raise Kevin's Strength, Carlie's Intelliegence then Spirit, and Hawk's Vitality. After you have collected 21 ChibiDevil's Eyes, you should have the following stats: Carlie, 256 Exp (Level 5) Hawk, 653 Exp (Level 6) Kevin, 362 Exp (Level 5) and you should have about 2200+ Luc. After that, go northwest, northeast, northeast, northeast, east, east. You should be in a room with a Grey Statue. From here go south, northeast and southeastwards. .: Rolante Secret Hideout :. You'll wake up in Rolante's hideout. Exit the room, and head northwards to the meeting room. After the meeting, exit the room, go north, southwest, northwestwards and talk to the Amazoness. Now wait until it's nighttime (if it's not already), then go where the Amazoness went, and you should find your way to Merci, with her big cannon (btw, how is she Bon Voyage's cousin? they look completely different...). Anyway, she shoots you to Byzel. .: Mechant City Byzel :. Enter the Black Market in Byzel and get the Chibikko Hammer. Also you'll need to buy some items. Remember that you'll have to prepare for 4 boss battles and 2 forced battles, before you'll be able to come back to the Black Market. Also make sure you have at least 390 Luc remaining (for boat rides) and enough money to restock your supply of Round Drops. Anyways, after obtaining the Chibikko Hammer, you may as well put the Gunpowder in your storage, then go buy some items. If you've done everything right up to this stage you should have about 2200+ Luc. So here are the items I recommend you buy: 6x Flame Coin (132 Luc) 3x Poseidon's Claw (120 Luc) 3x Molebear's Claw (120 Luc) 9x Poto Oil (270 Luc) 9x Drake's Scale (198 Luc) 5x Sahagin's Scale (110 Luc) 5x Bulette's Scale (110 Luc) TOTAL (1060 Luc) After buying items, you should have about 1100+ Luc remaining. Exit the Black Market and head back to Maia. .: Free City Maia :. Head to the harbour and take a ride to Jad (180 Luc down the drain). .: Castle City Jad :. When you arrive at Jad, exit the harbour, Go north four times, then down the stairs to your right. Heal at the statue (hey wasn't that beastman locked away? where did he go?) then make your way back (go south four times). Exit Jad through the south exit. .: Rabite Forest :. Now go south, southwest, west, south, west, south, west, heal at the statue and go south, westwards and talk to the stone. Now use the Chibikko Hammer to make everyone a midget (hmm, if Carlie's already a midget...). Now go northwest. .: Corobokkle Forest :. In the Corobokkle Forrest, talk to all the Corobokkles and then Don Perignon. After the he talks to you, exit the villiage of shrimps and make your way back to Jad. .: Castle City Jad :. If you wish you can get the 'free heal' again (keep heading north until you reach some stairs which go right; head down these stairs then heal). Anyway, head to the harbour and head for Palo (210 Luc down the drain). .: Fishing Harbor Palo :. You'll arrive in Palo. Stock up on items here, making sure you have: 20x Round Drop (100 Luc) 9x Magic Walnut (450 Luc) TOTAL (550 Luc) After that, go through the west exit. .: Path to the Heavens :. Go northwest, northeast 4 times, east, then north into the cave. Inside, go north then west. You should be at the Corridor of Wind. .: Corridor of Wind :. Go up and hit the switch. Now go through the southwest exit, then the middle entrance. Go left and push the switch, then go up and push that switch, then exit through the northwest exit. Go south, then southeast. Find the only switch you can press (and press it), then go as downward as you can. Go right from here, push the button and make your way to the south exit. Outside, head southwest and heal at the statue. Now you'll need to go outside and wait till it's nighttime (and not Jinn's Day). You can do this by quickly going northwards and hiding in the little notch. If you did it right, enemies won't be able to attack you, meaning you can simply hold on to your emulator's "turbo" key. Now make your way to the east entrance, trying not to take any damage (you can lure the enemies away by going northwards, then quickly running back to the Gold Statue, heal, then when you exit the cave again, quickly run to the east cave entrance). Go east from here to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Tzenker | | HP: 1808 | | Victory: 1246 Luc, 160 Exp | | Type: Wind (weak against Earth) | | Difficulty: *½ (Easy) | | | | When the battle starts, use Molebear Claws and | | Drake's Scales on Kevin and Hawk. This guy is | | really annoying because a lot of the time, he can | | block your attacks. Just pound him with physical | | attacks. If one of your characters fall asleep, use | | the Chibikko Hammer on them _twice_. Tzenker should | | go down quickly, with Hawk's upgraded weapon. I | | didn't even have to heal in this battle at all. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, everyone should gain a level. Raise Carlie's Vitality, Hawk's Agility and Kevin's Vitality. Talk to Jinn if you wish to continue. Now if you want to, you may return to Palo to restock up on items, but you really shouldn't need to. .: Path to the Heavens :. Now, make your way back to the sleep flowers and select a suitable spirit to use. You'll be sent outside Rolante. .: Wind Kingdom Rolate :. Put all your Round Drops into storage (if you have more than 6 Angel's Grails, which you shouldn't, put them into storage as well), before getting the items from the barrels. You will recieve 9x Round Drops and 3x Angel's Grails (saving you 345 Luc; doesn't quite cover the money wasted for the boat rides). Now just wait here until it's the nighttime, and make sure it's not Salamando's Day. After waiting, go north into Rolante. Head through the southeast arch if you want a free heal, then come back out again. Now, go through the northeast archway, northeast and the character you are controlling will finally realise that there are monsters here. Go southwest, south, northwest, northeast, south, northeast (not through the door), east, north, north, northwest, northwest, northeast and heal at the statue. Now try not to take any damage while you make your way to the next boss. Exit the room with the statue, go northwest to find Bill & Ben doing something, which appears to be rather unpleasant, to Lise (does Isabella approve of this?). When you approach, Bill & Ben run off, and dump Lise. If you talk to her, she seems to want more, not yet satisfied. Obviously, you don't allow this to happen (there are better people to be abused by :)). Anyway, head northwest to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Genova | | HP: 3065 | | Victory: 838 Luc, 260 Exp | | Type: Fire (weak against Ice) | | Difficulty: *** (Moderately Hard) | | | | Spawns (max 2): | | NAME LVL EXP LUC HP ATT DEF MDEF TYPE | | Shapeshifter 10 13 15 146 44 20 1 None | | (note that the Shapeshifter's stats change depending on | | what enemy it morphs into) | | | | When the battle starts, use Poseidon's Claw and | | Drake's Scale on Hawk. Now DON'T kill the | | Shapeshifters! Control Hawk, and keep attacking | | Genova. Don't bother healing Kevin or Carlie. Hawk | | should be doing a lot of damage with his upgraded | | weapon (for me, his BA did 2x80 damage). But the | | Shapeshifters do a lot of damage, so you may | | consider also putting Bulette's Scale on Hawk. If | | Genova casts Body Change, use the Chibikko Hammer to | | remove the effect. | | When Genova is about to die, make sure that only | | Hawk is alive. At this point, you may kill off | | _one_ Shapeshifter if you wish, as long as Hawk is | | the only character alive, and Genova doesn't spawn | | another Shapeshifter before he dies. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, only Hawk should level up - raise his Strength. Restock your supply of Round Drops with the ones in your storage. If you've done everything right so far, you should have the following stats: Carlie, 416 Exp (Level 6) Hawk, 1099 Exp (Level 8) Kevin, 522 Exp (Level 6) Now head north to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Bill & Ben | | HP: 450 (Fusion) 900 (Each) | | Victory: 2x353 Luc, 2x156 Exp | | (note if you can kill them before they split, | | you get 353 Luc, 156 Exp, but this should be) | | impossible to do at your level) | | Type: None | | Difficulty: ***½ (Hard) | | | | Damn these guys are a pain. They do a lot of | | damage, so as soon as the battle starts, use | | Bulette's Scales on everyone, and Drake's Scales on | | Kevin and Hawk. Heal regularly with Heal Light; | | when Carlie runs out of MP, use Magic Walnuts to | | replenish her supply. Also, DO NOT USE ATTACK | | MAGIC! This causes Bill & Ben to respond with | | Shadow Dive, which does a ton of damage. Don't | | bother using Stardust Herbs in this battle - it | | will cancel your Defense and Power Ups. | | Remember to make sure only Hawk is alive when | | you defeat the first Bill/Ben (after they've | | separated of course), so that only Hawk will | | recieve the Exp. Some tips: Bill & Ben "recoil" to | | your attacks, so use this to your advantage. Also, | | their physical attacks are dodgable, so the hit and | | run technique can be effective. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, Kevin should level up - raise his Intelligence. You should have the following stats: Carlie, 572 Exp (Level 6) Hawk, 1411 Exp (Level 8) Kevin, 678 Exp (Level 7) and about 2900+ Luc. Oh and now would be a good time to disable Carlie's L1 tech (since it only does 1 damage). Anyway, go forward to talk to Isabella. Like Koren, she questionably withdraws her forces from Rolante (because you beat Bill & Ben). After that, Lise thanks you for saving her castle by banishing you from Rolante forever (well, you can never enter Rolante again) - nice girl huh? (perhaps she wanted more of Bill & Ben, sorry) ____________________________________ / 3e Shade - The Spirit of Darkness \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ________________________________________________________________ | shade | | noun | | [...] | | 9.

Now head back to Palo. There will be an interesting scene when you arrive. Anyways, after the talking, exit the Inn. A stupid bird thingy will stalk you while you walk around. Anyways, head to the item shop and make sure you have: 9x Round Drops (+3 in storage) and 9x Magic Walnuts. If you still have a fair amount of money (I had 3108 Luc remaining) like 2000+ Luc, you can also stock up on Angel's Grails. When you're ready, head for the harbour and board the Ghost Ship. .: Ghost Ship :. When you wake up, exit the room, and head east, south, northeastern stairs and southwest. Read the sign/paper next to the door, then go northeast, southwest, northeast and southwest. Now there should be three bookshelves in front of you - "talk" to the right, then left, then middle, left bookself and a passageway should appear. Gain control of Kevin and head right and read the book on the table. Talk to the ghost which appears and Kevin should now be cursed. Now head back to the door with the note/paper next to it (and of course, go through it). From here, go northeast, south and northwestwards.

Don't bother with scales, as Gorva uses | | AntiMagic, which will remove the scale's effect. | | Simply get Hawk to keep hitting him (for me, his BA | | did 2x40 damage). Heal using Heal Light when | | necessary and restore Carlie's MP when she runs out | | with Magic Walnuts. Use the Chibikko Hammer if | | Carlie gets silenced. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ No one actually gains a level after the battle, but Carlie and Hawk will have a "0 Exp to next level". Allow both to level up (see section 2c) - raise Carlie's Spirit and Hawk's Strength. .: Volcanic Island Bucca :. Anyway, you'll arrive at Bucca. Go north twice, south twice, north, east, heal at the statue, then west, south, east, south, northeast, east, east, south, northeast, north, northeast and east. .: Village of Dark Priests :. You'll arrive at the Village of Dark Priests. Heal at the funny statue, and talk to the Priest just to the right of this funny statue. Buy armor upgrades for everyone. Don't forget to equip the armor. Now to the Priest right of the armor selling one. He sells items, so make sure you have 9x Round Drops. Now go down. There are two Priests here, talk to the left one. Now leave the village. .: Volcanic Island Bucca :. Head west, northwest, northwest, west and west. Go westwards and chat with the boulder. Choose Gnome and the whimsical little spirit will open up a path for you. Enter the cave. .: Seashore Cave :. You are now inside Seashore Cave, which is appropriately named because, err, its a volcano (can't you smell the sea?). Anyways, head east, south, south and south. Yay, outside... wait here until it's the night of Salamando's Day, then head east and we're back in the cave again.

From here, go west, north and east. .: Free City Maia :. Head to the northeastern house again, and travel by cannon to Forcena (the idiot actually aims right for once in his life). .: Grasslands Country Forcena :. Now keep heading north until you find the king. After showing you where the mana stones are, he will give you the Pihyara Flute. Yay, no more wasting money on boat rides. Now keep heading south till you reach the cannon. Travel in it back to Maia. If you've done everything right so far, you should have the following stats: Carlie, 892 Exp (Level 7) Hawk, 1863 Exp (Level 9) Kevin, 678 Exp (Level 7) and you should have about 4000+ Luc as well as 19 ChibiDevil's Eyes. .: Free City Maia :. From here make your way back to Byzel. If it isn't nighttime, wait outside Byzel until it is.

You'll need to have at least about 2500 Luc remaining. .: Golden Road :. After that, make your way back to the beach south of the Golden Road, where the Fat Turtle dropped you off. Here, use the flute. Now head for Elrand. Elrand is on the topmost continent. You'll have to enter it through the northmost V-shaped inlet. Before you get off the turtle though, wait until it's nighttime, and not Gnome's or Undine's Day. Now head for Elrand. .: Snow City Elrand :. Once you arrive, stock up on items; make sure you have: 9x Round Drops and 5x Angel's Grails. Also, upgrade Kevin's and Hawk's weapon (and remember to equip them). .: Sub-Zero Snowfield :. After you're ready, head south into the Sub-Zero Snowfield. Note that the enemies here do quite a bit of damage, especially the Wizards' spells.

Hope that they don't | | use Grenade Bomb - it's pretty much an instant kill. | | And these guys do a ton of damage. Use Bulette's | | Scales on everyone, then Drake's Scales and Siren's | | Claws on Kevin and Hawk. During the battle Hawk | | will level up - raise his Vitality, then you'll have | | to use Siren's Claw and Drake's Scale on him again. | | You can use Carlie's Heal Light if you want, but | | most of the time you should use Round Drops and Poto | | Oils instead (remember to get Carlie to use the | | Oils). Luckily though, they die quickly. | | Also, watch out for their spells. They don't | | cast them very often, but they do _do_ a fair bit of | | damage, to make you consider whether to use | | Sahagin's Scales or not. | | And as always, make sure only Hawk is alive | | before you actually defeat any Golems. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, Carlie will level up - raise Vitality. Now head west and northwest. .: Labyrinth of Ice Walls :. Talk to the mana stone. After that, you'll need to make your way back to the beach, and you'll still have to fight the two forced battles :(. Just follow what I've written above (directions are reversed of course). So if you've done everything right so far, your stats should be: Carlie, 1108 Exp (Level 8) Hawk, 2511 Exp (Level 10) Kevin, 894 Exp (Level 7) and you should have about 2000+ Luc and 7 ChibiDevil's Eyes.

You'll need to ride the turtle to the beach south of the Golden Road. If you forgot where it is, it's on the central continent, the east side of the big chunk of land (this chunk of land is towards the west side of the world). From here, head back to Byzel. Make sure it's night, then enter the Black Market. Make sure you have: 5x Drake's Scale 3x Bird's Scale 5x Bulette's Scale 9x Poto Oil Now head to Maia to restock on items. Make sure you have: 9x Round Drop 5x Magic Walnut Now return to the beach south of the Golden Road. Summon the turtle. If you want, you can head to Jad for a free heal (see section 2g). The beach outside of Jad is on the central continent, on the eastern side of a peninsula (just east of where you are). .: Sand City Sultan :. After that, head for Sultan. It's on the south side of the central continent (there's only one beach there, so you'll find it). Make sure it's nighttime and not Salamando's Day before you land though. Enter the house just to the right of the weapon store. There's a free Angel's Grail here. After you've looted the place, exit Sultan through the east exit. .: Desert of Scorching Heat :. Now in the Desert of Scorching Heat, try not to take much damage as you go through, since there's no Gold Statue OR resting place between here and the boss. Anyways, head east, south, east, southeast, south, west, southwest, southeast and east to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Bill & Ben (again) | | HP: ~575 (Fusion), 1152 (Each) | | Victory: 2x533 Luc, 2x324 Exp | | (if you kill them before they split, you get | | 533 Luc, 324 Exp, but this should be almost | | impossible to do) | | Type: None | | Difficulty: **½ (Moderate) | | | | These guys deal a lot of damage, so watch out. | | Otherwise, they also take a lot of damage.

For me, | | Kevin's BA did about 2x75 damage! | | After taking a certain amount of damage, it | | seems that they use the deadly Shadow Dive move - | | yes it kills you in one hit, guaranteed - even with | | a Bulette's Scale.

Now head southeast. .: Valley of Flames :. Head southeast, southeast, south, northeast, southwest, heal at the statue, then east. Talk to Bigieu (Isabella's a much better name) and watch Nikita through some magical Dart which doesn't hurt her, but sends her, yet again, questionably running away. Anyway, after the incident, head east and have a conversation with the large rock. Oh, that Bigieu's wants to talk to the rock herself and blocks your way. If you walk towards her, what does she do? She runs away again... Anyway, have your conversation with the rock. After Salamando makes some lame joke (which the faerie seems to be laughing at - she really does have a bad sense of humour), make your way back to the beach. If you've done everything correctly, you should have the stats: Carlie, 1432 Exp (Level 8) Hawk, 3159 Exp (Level 11) Kevin, 1218 Exp (Level 8) and have about 3100+ Luc and 7 ChibiDevil's Eyes.

Make sure it's night then assure that you have the following items from the Black Market: 9x Drake's Scale 9x Bulette's Scale 9x Sahagin's Scale 3x Molebear's Claw 9x Poto Oil After buying all this, I had 3018 Luc left. Anyway, head back to the beach and ride the turtle. I highly suggest you head for Jad for the free heal. Then head for Mintos. .: Moonlight City Mintos :. To the southeast of the beach south of the Golden Road, there is an inlet. Head down it to find Mintos. On the beach, have another chat with a boulder so you can get past. In Mintos, head for the item shop and make sure you have 9x Round Drops + 6 more in storage 9x Magic Walnut .: Moonlight Forest :. Now head west into the Moonlight Forest. The enemies here do a lot of damage, so watch out. There's no Gold Statue (well, there is, but you have to take a detour to it - not really worth it), so refrain from using Heal Light. Okay, so go southwest, southeast, west (not southwest), west, southwest, south, southwest and north. Here, heal your party using Round Drops, then restock your supply with the ones I told you to have in your storage. Now head northwest to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Lugar | | HP: 3461 | | Victory: 1093 Luc, 1120 Exp | | Type: None | | Difficulty: *** (Moderate) | | | | This boss isn't too hard.

Now when the battle starts, | | put Drake's Scales on Kevin and Hawk, as always. | | Just keep pounding him and heal when necessary. | | Note that his techs are deadly - yes, they kill one | | of your characters. You can avoid this using the | | Heal Light trick (see section 2f) or you can try | | using a Bulette's Scale to slightly lessen the | | damage (usually it's not enough, so I just use the | | Heal Light trick). But his multi-target techs can | | kill your entire party in one hit! Try to avoid | | these. His normal attacks also do a lot of damage, | | so try using the hit & run technique. | | Oh, and DO NOT USE SPELLS (or L2 techs, but you | | shouldn't have those right?). | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, everyone levels up - raise Kevin's Vitality, Carlie's Intelligence and Hawk's Strength. Also Kevin and Carlie should be 0 Exp to L10, so when they levels up, raise Kevin's Intelligence and Carlie's Spirit. Anyways, head north and talk to the Mana Stone. Now make your way back to the beach and call Fat Turtle.

Now head to the Lampflower Forest (the beach is to the east of the last flashing dot on the map). Before you arrive though, make sure it's nighttime of a day which isn't Dryad's. .: Lampflower Forest :. Now in the Lampflower Forest, walk up to the plant which blocks your way and ask the Moon Goddess for help. Now go southwest, south, west, south, south, east, south, west, west and north into Diorre. .: Flowergarden Land Diorre :. Head to the southwestern most house. Inside, go up and talk to the old man. After the conversation, all the elves can mysteriously understand how to speak. Anyway, stock up on items if you need to (you should have 9x Round Drops and 9x Magic Walnuts). Exit Diorre, by heading south. .: Lampflower Forest :. Now go east, north, north and west. Try to heal at the statue, ask the Moon Goddess to help again. Once the path is open, heal at the statue.

This | | is easier to do if you're only controlling two | | characters, so kill off Hawk. Now put Molebear's | | Claw + Drake's Scale on Kevin and, if you want to, | | Bird's Scale + Bulette's Scale on Carlie. Use a | | ChibiDevil's Eye on each of the spawns. Here's how | | to avoid killing the spawns: control the fighter and | | press START on Player 2's controller so that _that_ | | 'player' (you) will control Carlie. Move her into | | the top-right corner and try to get the spawns to | | follow. Now leave her there. If done right, the | | two spawns will also be in the corner attacking | | Carlie, leaving Gildervine open for you to attack. | | Of course, you'll need to heal Carlie regularly. | | Oh, and if you can do it, the spawns won't attack | | Carlie at all, if you get her to stay still for a | | while. | | Now when he uses Sleep Flower or Poison Bubble, | | use the Chibikko Hammer to remove the status. But | | the annoying thing is that when you awaken someone, | | Player 2 no longer controls Carlie for some reason, | | so you'll have to quickly change control and hit | | Player 2's START button. If you're not quick enough | | to hit P2's Start button, Carlie will move, and the | | spawns will attack her. | | Having 4000+ HP, this boss will take a while to | | kill, using only one fighter. Also Sleep Flower is | | rather annoying (why doesn't he ever run out of MP?) | | When he starts blocking all your attacks, it's | | up to 'part 2' of this boss. Kill the spawns, then, | | if you want to, you can revive Hawk, and put Drake's | | Scale + Molebear's Claw on him. | | (Yes, you _have_ to kill the spawns - I've tried | | using Coins to beat Gildervine without killing the | | spawns, but the magic attacks miss. Also Darts and | | Hand Axes have no effect.) | | He's not too hard to beat in part 2, but watch | | out for his Hammer Bean attack - especially if he | | targets three in a row on a single character. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, everyone will level up - raise Hawk's Vitality, Carlie's Spirit, Kevin's Strength. Now Carlie and Kevin should be 0 Exp to the next level. When they level up, raise their Vitality. Now return to the beach, and summon Booskaboo. If you've done everything correctly, you should have the following stats: Carlie 4162 Exp (Level 12 - or 11) Hawk 5889 Exp (Level 13) Kevin 3948 Exp (Level 12 - or 11) and have about 5700+ Luc and 5 ChibiDevil's Eyes. _______________________ / 3j The Mana Holyland \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ .: Island of Oblivion :. Head for the Island of Oblivion (the only flashing dot on the map). After watching the cinematic, summon the turtle again and head for Jad for a free heal. .: Path to the Heavens :. Now we need to get to Rolante. The beach outside of the Path to the Heavens is in the southeastern part of the world, in that part of the land which looks like a sideways V. .: Wind Kingdom Rolante :. When you get to Rolante, talk to the Amazoness and go through the opened path. .: Summit of the Skies :. From here head southeast (you'll have to go northwards first), northwest, northwest, northeast then northwest. Meet Flammie - a female father; well she's named "the Father of the winged" by the Amazonesses... I wonder why they think of Flammie as a male... Well that Amazoness you talked to was quite protective of her - maybe she liked Flammie the most... Sorry there. .: Mana Holyland :. Anyway, Flammie will fly you to the holyland. From here go north, west, north, west, north, southeast, northeast, north, heal at a statue, then northeast, east, northeast and northeast. Go forth, and pick up what will be thy sword (thou shalt press thy select button to changeth thy control to thy hero). After a cinematic, obtain the Wind Drum, and make your way back to the entrance of the holyland. Use your new instrument. (an interesting thing to try - after getting the Sword of Mana, don't get the Wind Drum. Now the faerie shouldn't be with you, but if you head back to the Gold Statues, talk to the central statue, and the faerie is still with you) .: Beast Kingdom :. Anyways, fly Flammie out of the Holyland, to the Beast Kingdom (flashing dot on the map). Land here and go north. Now the enemies here do a lot of damage so be careful. Head north, northeast _door_, northeast, northeast up the stairs, southwest, heal at the statue, west, south, south and north up the stairs. Watch the conversation (interesting thing how Heath starts chanting a spell as soon as Carlie mentions his name - gosh he does take a long time to cast a spell). After you get faerie back, exit the Beast Kingdom and summon Flammie. If you've done everything correctly, you should have the following stats: Carlie 4162 Exp (Level 12) Hawk 5889 Exp (Level 13) Kevin 3948 Exp (Level 12) and have about 5800+ Luc. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 4. Walkthrough - Part 2 (Seven God Beasts) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I recommend you fight the God Beasts in this order: Earth, Light, Moon, Wind, Ice, Tree, Fire If you would like to change the order, here are my main reasons for choosing the orders: - Ice and Fire. There is one forced battle en route to the God Beast - The Light and Moon ones are hard to beat without weapon upgrades - Fire and Leaf must be fought last as it's possible for only one person to gain Exp from the fight - So Fire should be fought last, preceeded by Leaf. Earth is fought first to give enough Luc to upgrade Hawk's weapon for Light, which gives enough money to upgrade Kevin's weapon. - The God Beasts get stronger as you fight them later (also note that I think the order affects how much Luc and Exp you recieve from a God Beast, plus their HP also goes up as you fight them later; the values given in this guide only apply if you fight the God Beasts in the order I tell you to) ___________________________ / 4a Before the God Beasts \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Firstly, head to Byzel's Black Market to buy some stuff. Make sure you have: 3x Poseidon's Claw (120 Luc) 6x Siren's Claw (240 Luc) 3x Kerberos' Claw (120 Luc) 9x Molebear's Claw (360 Luc) 14x Drake's Scale (308 Luc) 9x Bulette's Scale (198 Luc) 9x Sahagin's Scale (198 Luc) 3x Bird's Scale ( 66 Luc) 9x Poto Oil (270 Luc) TOTAL (1880 Luc) I know this is probably too much, but you have the money, so why not use it? This will save you from coming back again and again. Besides, you won't need to buy this much, you should already have some of these items. If you want to, you can also buy some Specter's Eyes. Now head to any item store (well almost any) and assure you have: 9x Angel's Grail (900 Luc) 30x Round Drop (150 Luc) 18x Magic Walnut (900 Luc) TOTAL (1950 Luc) If you want, you can also get some Pakkun Chocolates and Honey Drinks, but these items are completely unnecessary. I still had 4409 Luc after buying all this. Remember that you should restock when necessary. ____________________________________ / 4b Gemstone Valley Dorian - Earth \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ It's the westmost dot on the map. You'll have to land in Molebear Highlands to get to the valley. Of course, wait till night, and make sure it's not on Gnome's Day. If you've landed as close to the dot as possible, go northwest, northwest, east, northwest, westwards to a hole of fun, then go west, west, southwest and you should be in the valley. Go south, southeast, southeast, east, southeast, southwest, west, west, southeast, southeast, south, southwest, heal at the statue, then east, east, south, west, west, southwest, east and heal at the statue. Now head northeast from here, then come back to the statue (heal if necessary). This will reset the enemies in the room to the left. Now try not the take any damage as you make your way to the boss. From the statue, go west twice to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Land Umber | | HP: 7652 | | Victory: 5666 Luc, 2670 Exp | | Type: Earth (weak against Wind) | | Difficulty: **½ (Moderate) | | | | At the start of the battle, put Siren's Claw + | | Drake's Scale on Kevin and Hawk, and Sahagin's | | Scales on everyone. This guy can do a lot of | | damage, but he takes a lot of damage too. Shouldn't | | be very hard if you heal often. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, everyone levels up - raise Hawk's Intelligence, Carlie's Vitality and Kevin's Intelligence. Play your percussion instrument for some random dragon to come down and swoop you up. If you've done everything correctly, your stats should be: Carlie, 6832 Exp (Level 13) Hawk, 8559 Exp (Level 14) Kevin, 6618 Exp (Level 13) and have about 10000+ Luc. ________________________________________ / 4c The Ancient Ruins of Light - Light \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Before heading here, go to the Forest of Wonder (northmost dot) to upgrade Hawk's weapon - for some reason, the cats don't come to the Ancient Ruins of Light. Now head towards the ruins (it's to the west of the eastmost dot on the map). Again, make sure it's night before you land. Once you do land, go northeast, northwest, southwest, north up the stairs, north, north, southeast, east and southeast. Before you head east, heal your characters using Heal Light, and press the START button on Player 2's control. Make sure that the remaining character follows _you_ (Player 1, not Player 2). When you're ready, go east. Now here's the hard part - you have to try to avoid a 'forced' battle. You need to read the thing on the wall, but you can't (for some reason) with your weapons drawn. It _is_ possible to read the thing without defeating the Grell Mages, but it's tricky. Okay, just as you enter the room, move Player 2's character to the top-right corner. The Grell Mages should go and attack that character - make sure you heal it so that it doesn't die. Now with the Grell Mages engaged in trying to beat up Player 2's character, move your (Player 1) characters towards the south exit, but don't actually go out. Now you have to try to get the enemies as far into the corner as you can get them to go. Once you've done that exit the room through the south exit using your (Player 1) characters. Now re-enter the room. If you did the above correctly, you should be able to walk up and read the sign without drawing your weapon. If you wish, you may get a free Honey Drink by heading south, southwest and west, then head back to the room with the sign. After you've done that, head northwest and examine the two tablets on the wall. For the left one, choose Wisp. For the right one, choose Shade. Now head south, west, northwest, northeast, northeast, northwest and heal at the statue. Try not to get damaged while making your way to the boss. Head southeast, northeast then north to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Lightgazer | | HP: 11713 | | Victory: 6073 Luc, 3200 Exp | | Type: Light (weak against Dark) | | Difficulty: *** (Moderately Hard) | | | | Not too hard, but takes a heck of a long time. | | Anyway, start off the battle by using Drake's Scale | | on Kevin and Hawk as always. Lightgazer is sort of | | annoying, since he bounces around. Try to get | | Kevin/Hawk to hit twice each time they attack, | | charging your tech bar up quicker. Then, when you | | perform his tech, time it right so it hits | | Lightgazer twice - you'll have to press B just | | before Lightgazer lands on the ground, and you must | | be facing the right direction. | | When he uses Prisoner on you, use the Chibikko | | Hammer to rid yourself of the Moogle effect. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, everyone levels up - raise Hawk and Kevin's Strength and Carlie's Spirit. Everyone will also have a "0 Exp to level up" so when they do, raise everyone's Vitality, If you've done everything correct so far, you should have the following stats: Carlie, 10032 Exp (Level 14 or 15) Hawk, 11759 Exp (Level 15 or 16) Kevin, 9818 Exp (Level 14 or 15) ______________________________ / 4d Moonreading Tower - Moon \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Land in Mintos (making sure it's not Luna's Day) - it's to the east of the Beast Kingdom. Now make your way to the Moonreading Tower as if you were looking to fight the dead Lugar (well he got revived but...). You'll find the cats along the way, so upgrade Kevin's weapon. Once you arrive at the Moonreading tower, go northwest, up the stairs, south, northeast, up stairs, south, southwest, up stairs, south, northeast, heal at the statue, south, northwest, up stairs, south, northeast, up stairs, south, northwest, up stairs, south, northeast, up stairs, south, southwest, up stairs, south, northeast, up stairs, south, northwest, up stairs, south, northeast, heal at the statue, south and north (through the central door) to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Dolan | | HP: 11244 | | Victory: 6481 Luc, 3790 Exp | | Type: Moon (weak against Leaf) | | Difficulty: *** (Moderately Hard) | | | | You get a long time to put your buffs on at the | | beginning of the battle. Put Drake's Scale on Kevin | | and Hawk, then Bulette's Scales on everyone. His | | physical attacks hurt a lot so watch out for those. | | A lot of his spells are multi-targetted, and don't | | that much damage (except for Spiral Moon perhaps) so | | you don't need to heal that often. Not much else to | | say - just pound him with physical attacks as usual. | | And use the Chibikko Hammer to counter Body Change. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Everyone levels up after the fight - raise everyone's Intelligence. So if everything has been done correctly, your stats will be: Carlie, 13822 Exp (Level 16) Hawk, 15549 Exp (Level 17) Kevin, 13608 Exp (Level 16) and about 7100+ Luc. _________________________________ / 4e The Corridor of Wind - Wind \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Firstly, I suggest you restock up on items - the next boss fight does take a long time. I suggest you at least have: 9x Round Drop 8x Drake's Scale 8x Molebear's Claw Then, make your way to this place and navigate your own way through here as if you were looking for the long dead Tzenker. Can't remember where Tzenker was? Look back and check... Do make sure that it is nighttime and not Jinn's Day before you land though. Now move to where you met Tzenker and a God Beast will be in its place, well after Flammie flies across the world: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Dangaard | | HP: 6416 (each of the 4 "battles") | | Victory: 27564 Luc, 4450 Exp | | Type: Wind (weak against Earth) | | Difficulty: ** (Moderate) | | | | Fairly easy - with the upgraded weapons. Put | | Drake's Scale + Molebear's Claw on Kevin and Hawk at | | the beginning of each "battle" and pound him with | | physical attacks. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ No-one really levels up after the battle, but everyone has a "0 Exp to level up". Carlie and Kevin have it for the next 2 levels. So when level up, raise Hawk's Agility, Kevin's Strength then Vitality and Carlie's Intelligence then Intelligence. Your stats should be: Carlie, 18272 Exp (Level 16 or 18) Hawk, 19999 Exp (Level 17 or 18) Kevin, 18058 Exp (Level 16 or 18) and about 33600+ Luc. Now, land somewhere to make sure that everyone is on level 18 (see section 2c). Once they are, head straight to the Island of Oblivion, into the Mana Holyland and find the statue to class change. Class change Carlie into a Priestess, Hawk into a Ranger and Kevin into a Monk. Now, set Kevin's and Hawk's default tech to their level 1 tech and disable Carlie's tech. __________________________________ / 4f Labyrinth of Ice Walls - Ice \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Everyone should now have class changed. Anyway, head here - it's the only dot in the "Ice land". Land as close as you can to the dot. You should land in the Sub-Zero Snowfield with two cats standing nearby. Now since the cats are there, you may as well upgrade your armour. UPGRADE YOUR ARMOUR ONLY - NOT HELMETS OR RINGS. Remember to equip them too. I still had 23109 Luc after this. Now, being nighttime (and not Undine's Day) head into the cave (or labyrinth).

Now don't take any damage as you make your way to the boss. Head south, southeast then northeast to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Fiegmund | | HP: 13821 | | Victory: 7302 Luc, 5180 Exp | | Type: Ice (weak against Fire) | | Difficulty: *½ (Easy) | | | | Not very hard, but a little annoying. Use | | Kerberos' Claw + Drake's Scale on the two fighters. | | Use the Chibikko Hammer to remove the Snowman status | | if necessary. Also remember to only use Kevin's and | | Hawk's level 1 tech. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, everyone levels up - raise Hawk's Agility (he'll learn Arrow), Kevin's Strength (he'll learn Pressure Point) and Carlie's Spirit (she'll learn multi Heal Light, yay!). Also Hawk will have a "0 Exp to level up" - raise his Intelligence when he levels up (he'll learn Sleep Flower). Your stats should now be: Carlie, 23452 Exp (Level 19) Hawk, 25179 Exp (Level 19 or 20) Kevin, 23238 Exp (Level 19) and you should have about 29600+ Luc and 2 ChibiDevil's Eyes. _____________________________ / 4g Forest of Wonder - Leaf \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Go here - it's the northmost dot on the map. As always, assure that it's nighttime and not Dryad's Day. Now once you've landed, go northwest, southwest, west, northeast, northwest, northeast, eastwards then northeast, northwest, northwest, west, heal at the statue. Again, make sure you try not to take damage while you make your way to the boss. Go northeast four times to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Mispolm | | HP: 18296 | | Victory: 7715 Luc, 5980 Exp | | Type: Leaf (weak against Moon and Wind) | | Difficulty: ** (Moderate) | | | | Not too hard, but a pain. When the battle | | starts, put Siren's Claw + Drake's Scale on Kevin | | and Hawk and keep pounding him (you can use Pressure | | Point instead of Drake's Scale if you wish). | | Remember to use the Chibikko Hammer to remove | | status ailments. Also, Carlie's new multi Heal | | Light is really useful - use it. | | Now, a queer thing about this boss is that it is | | possible for only one person to get the Exp. I'm | | not sure how it works, but I think the order in | | which your characters die affects this. Try to get | | only Hawk to be alive when you defeat Mispolm. Many | | of the times I beat him, two of my characters | | recieved the Exp - try changing the order in which | | the characters die. For me, I killed Kevin, then | | Carlie before beating Mispolm. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ If you can get the above trick to work, only Hawk will level up after battle - raise Strength. Your stats should now be: Carlie, 23452 Exp (Level 19) Hawk, 31159 Exp (Level 21) Kevin, 23238 Exp (Level 19) and have about 38000+ Luc. _________________________________ / 4h The Valley of Flames - Fire \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Head here - it's the southeasternmost dot on the map. Before you land, wait on Flammie until it's nighttime and not Salamando's Day. Now land as close as you can to the Valley of Flames. You should have landed in the Desert of Scorching Heat. You need to head to the Valley of Flames. If you've landed as close to the valley as you can, you'll see two cats in front of you. You need to go north, southeast, east and southeast. Now you should be in the Valley of Flames. Head southeast, southeast, east, southeast and east, to face: _______________ ________________________/ FORCED BATTLE \_______________________ | Difficulty: * (Easy) | | | | Possible Enemies: | | NAME LVL EXP LUC HP ATT DEF MDEF TYPE | | Duck General 40 512 122 558 246 129 19 Fire | | | | Dropped Items: | | NAME ITEMS | | Duck General Pumpkin Bomb, Honey Drink, Item Seed | | | | Combinations: | | - Duck General, Duck General | | | | Use a ChibiDevil's Eye on each enemy - you should now | | have run out of these items.

Just put Poseidon's | | Claw + Drake's Scale on Kevin and Hawk, and | | Sahagin's Scales on everyone. Just pound him with | | physical attacks. You only need to attack the | | "main" (I don't know why or what purpose the top | | part has, but you can use it to charge up your | | tech bar when Xan Bie is blocking). Heal when | | necessary. Just remember to only keep Hawk alive | | when you deliver the final blow. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, Hawk will level up - raise his Intelligence; he finally gains enough to learn the stupid Body Change spell. If you've done everything correctly, these should be your stats: Carlie 23452 Exp (Level 19) Hawk 37559 Exp (Level 22) Kevin 23238 Exp (Level 19) and have about 46300+ Luc and no ChibiDevil's Eyes. Now summon Flammie and restock up on items if you need to. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 5. Walkthrough - Part 3 (Final Battles) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Firstly, if you're following this guide, you should have learnt Body Change by now. If you haven't for some reason (like you don't have Hawk on your team), then you will need to collect some more ChibiDevil's Eyes... 51 in total (see why I prefer using Body Change). Also note that I continue to level up Hawk. This enables you to achive the lowest possible average party level. If you wish, you can level up other characters instead, so that you can learn their new second class spells, but you won't be able to achieve the lowest possible level. Secondly, you may as well stock yourself full on items, so that you don't have to later (I had 46479 Luc at this point, so it's a good idea to use it up). Note that you'll probably want to save some money to buy weapons/armour later on. Anyways, I recommend you have: 15x Drake's Scale 6x Poseidon's Claw 3x Molebear's Claw 9x Sahagin's Scale 3x Bulette's Scale 3x Bird's Scale 5x Poto Oil ------------------ 9x Magic Walnut 20x Round Drop 5x Angel's Grail Note that I'm also too lazy to write up info on all the forced battles. When you face a forced battle, just use Hawk's Body Change or ChibiDevil's Eyes on all the enemies before you beat any. I will also tell you when you face a forced battle. _______________________________ / 5a The God Beast of Darkness \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ .: Jungle of Illusion :. It's the only dot on the map - you can't miss it. Anyway, you'll land here. Go southeast, northeast, northwards and into the building. Talk to the sign on the wall and refuse the offer to get ripped off. Exit the inn. .: Ancient City Pedan :. Hmmmm, I wonder how this happened. I mean, doesn't the in have windows? (the slits do look like windows) Wouldn't anyone have noticed that everything suddenly changed? Now you should upgrade some peoples' weapons or armour. Note that you will not be getting any Weapon/Armor Seeds (if you're following this guide) so the armour you buy here will be the best. You should upgrade Hawk's then Kevin's weapons first, then everyone's helmets, rings then armour. You can get rings from the cats. Note that when upgrading your weapons, DO NOT GET THE BEST WEAPON! It only grants 2 extra attack over the cheaper one, which also costs about 13000+ Luc less. Also, you can sell your old weapons/armour if you need some more money (do not sell your cheapest armour - you can equip it to allow you to sell your current armour). I was able to upgrade Hawk's and Kevin's weapon, everyone's helmets and Hawk's armour. To help you, here are roughly the prices of the 'best' equipment: Weapons: ~18000+ Luc (Don't buy the ~32000+ Luc ones!) Armour: ~7000+ Luc Helmets: ~4000+ Luc Rings: ~2000+ Luc After you've shopped around, head into the northmost 'house' and talk to the old man. Next, head into the westmost 'house' and talk to the guy there. Now summon Flammie again and wait till it's the night of Jinn's Day. Land again in the Jungle. .: Jungle of Illusion :. Go southeast, northwest, west, north and northwest. Talk to the headless Grey Statue and select the "wood nymph" (Dryad). Head south, east, north, west, south, west, west, north and north to face: ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Zable Fahr | | HP: 5413 (Left and Right heads) 10714 (Central head) | | Victory: 12698 Luc, 9380 Exp | | Type: Dark (weak against Light) | | Difficulty: ***½ (Hard) | | | | This guy is more annoying than difficult, but he | | does have some very strong attacks (ie Hell Cross). | | You'll probably be low on health, so immediately | | use Heal Light at the start of the battle. Use | | Drake's Scales on Kevin and Hawk (or Pressure | | Point). Don't put too many buffs as Zable Fahr can | | use AntiMagic. | | Part 1: use the normal strategy of whack, whack | | and whack, healing when necessary. Use Hawk/Kevin's | | level 2 full-screen tech instead of their level 1 | | one. Zable has some attacks which lower your | | Intelligence - when he does this to you, watch out | | for Dark Force; I had to use a Sahagin's Scale on | | Carlie for her to be able to survive it. | | Before Part 2, quickly put Sahagin's Scales on | | Kevin and Hawk. Carlie will die from the next | | attack so don't worry about her. | | Part 2: as soon as the central head appears, she | | will use Hell Cross, which will kill Carlie and | | leave your other characters barely alive. Revive | | Carlie and quickly use a multi-target Heal Light. | | Focus your attention on the central head. For this | | part, DON'T use Hawk's/Kevin's level 2 techs - use | | their level 1 techs like normal. | | Watch out for DeathSpell - the 'death' effect | | can be avoided using the Heal Light trick, or by | | loading state :). The most deadly attack, though, | | is still Hell Cross. | | Remember to only keep Hawk alive before you | | defeat Zable! | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, only Hawk will level up - raise his Agility (he learns Spike). Your stats should now be: Carlie, 23452 Exp (Level 19) Hawk, 46939 Exp (Level 23) Kevin, 23238 Exp (Level 19) and have about 14000+ Luc. ______________________ / 5b Shtop the Baddie \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Now if you want to (and you should, since the next boss is _hard_), you can go back to Pedan and upgrade your armour or weapons with the money you earned from bashing up Zable. Call Flammie, and land in the Jungle of Illusion and head into Pedan to go shopping. I managed to get everyone's armour upgraded as well as Hawk's ring. After you're done, return to _this_ place (where you found the Illusion Mirror - you picked it up right?). Do make sure it's also nighttime. From here, go south, southwest, west, north, north and heal at the statue. Now try not to take any damage as you make your way to the boss. ____________ _________________________/ BOSS FIGHT \_________________________ | Name: Deathjester | | HP: 12606 | | Victory: 4041 Luc, 8310 Exp (Real) 0 Exp (Fake Parts) | | Type: Fire??? (weak against Ice) | | Difficulty: ****½ (Hard) | | | | This guy's insane. Start off the battle using | | Poseidon's Claw + Drake's Scale on Kevin and Hawk, | | then Bulette's Scale on everyone. If you want to, | | you can use Sahagin's Scale on everyone as well. | | Okay, not only is he annoying (having two fake | | parts) but he does a lot of damage _and_ attacks | | fast. You'll be using Heal Light like every two | | seconds, literally. Luckily, he takes quite a bit | | of damage too (which is why he's not rated 5 stars). | | Also, don't use spells or level 2 techs as they | | incite him to use level 3 magic against you. His | | Death Roulette can also be 'avoided' using the Heal | | Light trick. Also remember to use the Chibikko | | Hammer to restore status ailments. | | Now, before you beat him, make sure you only | | have Hawk alive. Also, it's possible to kill off | | the 'real' copy before the 'fake' parts die, thus | | only giving Hawk the Exp. I'm not too sure how to | | do it, so you'll have to keep trying until you can | | do it. | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ After the battle, only Hawk will level up, if you can perform the above trick. Raise Hawk's Strength. This makes your stats: Carlie, 23452 Exp (Level 19) Hawk, 55249 Exp (Level 24) Kevin, 23238 Exp (Level 19) and you should have about 4600+ Luc. You can now summon Flammie and buy some upgrades with your newly earned money (you'll have to go north before you can summon Flammie). I managed to upgrade Kevin's and Carlie's rings, making everyone fully upgraded. After you're done, come back to where you fought DeathJester. ________________________________ / 5c The Mirage Palace - Part 1 \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ From where you fought DeathJester, head north twice to enter the wonderful palace.

Kevin has also gained a second level, so raise Strength when he actually gains it.

Other Useful Stuff -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ______________________________________ / 6a Stealing Eyes off the ChibiDevil \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Gathering ChibiDevil's Eyes are essential, if you want to gain the least possible amount of Exp. They act as an early Body Change. If your team doesn't have Hawk, or you don't wish to class change him into a Ranger, then you'll also need ChibiDevil's Eyes at the end of the game. Okay, here's how to get 'em. You'll need to get to Palo. Exit Palo through the only exit and you will be on the Path to the Heavens. There will be three monsters here: _____________ _________________________/ BATTLE INFO \________________________ | Possible Enemies: | | NAME LVL EXP LUC HP ATT DEF MDEF TYPE | | Chibi-Devil 8 8 36 68 47 23 6 Dark | | NeedleBird 8 6 18 74 46 22 1 Wind | | Zombie 8 6 18 90 45 31 1 Dark | | | | Dropped Items: | | NAME ITEMS | | Chibi-Devil Puipui Grass, Item Seed, ChibiDevil's Eye | | NeedleBird Round Drop, Bird's Scale, Storm Coin | | Zombie Puipui Grass, Magical Rope, Dreamease Herb | | | | Combinations (Day): | | - NeedleBird, NeedleBird, NeedleBird | | - NeedleBird, NeedleBird, Chibi-Devil | | Combinations (Night): | | - NeedleBird, NeedleBird, Chibi-Devil | | - Zombie, Zombie, Chibi-Devil | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ The idea is to get the ChibiDevil's Eye, also gaining the least amount of Exp possible. Okay, now fight the monsters - ensuring that there's a ChibiDevil out of the three monsters (so make sure your not fighting the three NeedleBird combination). Remember to have only Hawk alive before you beat monster (so only he will get the Exp). Also make sure you don't kill the ChibiDevil yet. Once you've killed off the two Zombies or NeedleBirds, attack the ChibiDevil, saving state every time you score a hit. Now when you kill the ChibiDevil, if a chest is not dropped, load state, then kill the ChibiDevil again. Repeat this until a chest is dropped. Once a chest is dropped, savestate, then open the chest. If you don't get a ChibiDevil's Eye then loadstate and open the chest again (ChibiDevil's Eyes are rarely given - you'll most likely get a Puipui Grass). Also try pushing the chest around and opening it from different sides. Remember to always use Hawk to open chests (he has the hightest Luck). You should get one ChibiDevil's Eye per "Victory!". This procedure _will_ take quite a while. You can make the procedure quicker by collecting some of the eyes after you class change (since Hawk's Luck will be boosted to 12). I just prefer to get all the eyes at once. So you'll need 16 before you class change (I tell you to get 21, but you can get 5 of them after you class change). Heal between battles, if you need to, using Carlie's Heal Light (because her MP can be restored). The monsters shouldn't be too hard to beat, if you stand on that elevated area, try to only get one Zombie/NeedleBird to come up at a time. Just make sure that only one character is alive when you beat any enemy, and you kill the Chibi-Devil last. To 'reset' the area, after you've won a battle, go south then east to the beach, then come back and the enemies should be 'reset'. You can also exit the area if you're affected by Poison or Small, but make sure you don't 'reset' the enemies in this case. If you wish to know where the ChibiDevil's Eyes are used, here's a list: LOCATION NO. USED NOTES Bucca Island 2 Used on the last enemy of the 2 forced battles Sub-Zero Snowfield 12 Used on all enemies in the 4 forced battles Gildervine Battle 2 Used on the two spawns --------------------[ Class Change ]-------------------- Labyrinth of Ice 3 Used on all enemies in the forced battle Valley of Flames 2 Used on all enemies in the forced battle ------------------[ Hawk learns Body Change ]------------------ Mirage Palace 51 Used on all enemies in forced battles plus 4 of them are used for spawns in the Genova/Gildervine battles __________________ / 6b Salary Boost \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ If you are ever short on money, you can get some, at the expense of getting some Exp. If you follow this guide correctly, you will have sufficient money for most of your needs, but if, for some reason, you need more money, here how to get it. Firstly, you have to have visted Palo.

End Notes -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= _____________________ / 7a Version History \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Well, this is the first release... _____________ / 7b Credits \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Thanks to all the following! - Squaresoft for making the game. Plus thanks to the translators for allowing people like me to be able to play the game. - TLaG and CMK for their amazing "Beastiary", from which I've taken most of my enemy stats from. - AbsoluteZero, who made a low level guide for SD3 - unfortunately I don't think he ever finished it, but it inspired me to try out this challenge. - The people who've made guides for SD3 and the people from the boards at GameFAQs. I've read and learnt some very interesting things. - YOU! For bothering to read this guide! (and put up with me) ________________ / 7c Legal Junk \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Oh, man, do I _have_ to write this? Okay then, you are allowed to distribute this guide in any way, as long as it is in its original (unmodified) form and you don't charge for it (ie it remains free of charge). Also, I don't hold any responsibility on effects, such as spoiling a game, caused by this guide. _____________ / 7d The End \ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Um, it's the end. What do you expect here?
