This is a guide meant to walk you step by step through Suikoden V. Like most
walkthroughs, there will be spoilers for locations, certain bosses (unless
they are important story bosses) as well as for where and how to recruit the
108 Stars of Destiny. Also note that my guide does not follow the
same "Chapter Order" that other guides do, so it will not work to reference my
guide to another in that manner.

Old Books, Voice Sets, Sound Sets, and Window Sets
Welcome to my Suikoden V guide!
If you have not read my guides before, I have to thank you for choosing my
guide to be read before the others. If you have, I must say welcome back~!
This time, I have added a special feature. Though still in a highly speculated
stage, "Lym Points" definitely DO exist. They determine if you see some
certain scenes early on, and can also determine if you see one ending or the
other. My goal is to completely chart these Lym Points for my readers.
I have tried my best to make this guide as complete as possible. Having gone
through the game more than three times, this guide contains every Star of
Destiny, most mini-bosses, and full boss/duel/war strategies. Unfortunately,
now I am working on getting every treasure chest in the game, which is
something of a pain.
If you are weary of using a guide for a game like Suikoden V, the simplest
advice I can give you is fight, fight, and fight. That will allow you to buy
better armor and sharpen your weapons to higher levels. The more you fight
the easier it will become for you to succeed later on.
And last but not least, yes I know there are directional errors in this
guide. I wrote the guide while I playing the game itself, so it is difficult
to keep things straight at times. Apologies.
===============================================================================
--- The Basics ---
===============================================================================
There's a lot to learn about Suikoden V, but unfortunately, there's no In-Game
tutorial for anything. This section is meant to take you over all of the
basics and help answer any important questions you may have.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- The Battle System ---
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The battle system in Suikoden V is an old-fashioned turn based system. First,
everyone inputs their commands, and at the end of the inputing, everything is
initiated. Repeat until the battle is over.
In battle, you have your own choice of 6 characters, each defined by their
personal skills, Rune Affinites, and weapons. Range of weapons will affect
the performance in battle (see the Formation System) and Rune Affinities will
determine the damage done by Rune Magic of specific types.
All of your stats will effect your performance in battle. Your stats increase
after you gain a level. You will gain a level after reaching 1000 EXP from
fighting battles. If you are fighting enemies that are too weak for you, you
will gain les and less Experience Points.
-----------------------------------------------------
Attack - ATK: The power of your direct physical attacks.
----------------------------
Magic - MAG: The power of your magical attacks.
----------------------------
Physical Defense - PDF: Your defense towards direct physical attacks.
----------------------------
Magical Defense - MDF: Your defense versus magical attacks.
----------------------------
Technique - TEC: How often a character will Critical Attack and
Counterattack. Also has a minor effect on Continuous attacks.
----------------------------
Accuracy - ACC: How often you will hit an enemy.
----------------------------
Evasion - EVA: How often you will evade direct attacks. Evading is NOT
parrying.
----------------------------
Speed - SPD: Determines when a character will act, as well as having an effect
on continuous attacks and parrying.
----------------------------
Luck - LCK: Can raise the chance of anything, parrying, evasion, critical,
etc, when at very high levels. Also effects item drops, I believe.
-----------------------------------------------------
Next we have Affinities. The higher your affinity with a Rune or skill, the
more damage the character will do with that type of magic. There are quite a
few of them, and some may be familiar to you, others may not.
The Affinities are ranked from S to E like this:
S - A - B - C - D -E
When a character has a S in a skill, they are the best possible. An E in the
skill in the worst possible, and you want to avoid those type of skills with
that particular character.
-----------------------------------
Su - Sun (Dawn, Twilight)
Fi - Fire (Fire, Rage)
Li - Lightning (Lightning, Thunder)
Wi - Wind (Wind, Cyclone)
Wa - Water (Water, Flowing)
Ea - Earth (Earth, Mother Earth)
St - Star (Star Rune)
So - Sound (DoReMi Rune)
Ho - Holy (Shield, Resurrection)
Da - Dark (Rune of Condemnation)
Sl - Slash
Th - Thrust
Pu - Punch
Sh - Shot
-----------------------------------
A characters' Rune Affinity are predeterimed before the game is started. You
can raise the characters' power in a Runes by equipping "Elemental Rings"
(Such as a Lightning Ring). If you equip a "Water Ring" the power of Water
Elemental attacks will be raised.
-----------------------------------------------------
Other than direct damage, you may be inflicted by a status ailment in battle.
There are both positive and negative Status effects in Suikoden V, and
learning them all is the key to success. Note that Status effects will occur
in Suikoden V more often than in previous Suikoden games.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Poison
Poison will drain your HP every turn. If left on after the battle, every few
steps you take you will lose a small bit of HP. Cure this with an Antitoxin
item.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Silence
This is shown by a little - . . .- bubble atop your character's head. WHen
affected by Silence, your character can not cast Rune Magic. Cure by using a
Cough Drop item.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Panic
This is much like Stun. This tends to be caused by Lightning type spells, and
is shown by three little stars of a character's head. This will wear off
automatically after a few rounds of battle.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Dislike/Anger
This status effect is shown by a little angry sign atop the characters head.
The character will be unable to do Co-Ops or Unite Magics, and your entire
party will be unable to use Formation Skills. Wears off after a set amount of
time.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Sleep
When a character has little "Zzzzz" above their head, they are asleep. The
character can not take any actions when asleep. Sleep is cured by being
physically atacked.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Unbalanced/Stun
This is shown by a little twirly sign over a characters head. When a
character becomes unbalanced, they will be unable to act the next round.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Darkness
This effect is shown by a large black mass surrounding a character. This
status effect impairs a characters' ability to hit properly, and they will
miss most of the time. Cure this with some Eye Drops.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Slow
This is shown by a giant anvil(?) atop the character's head. The character
with this effect on will always act last in battle. This can only be cured
with magic.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Unconscious/KO
There are actually two types of Death in Suikoden, Unconscious and Permanent
Death. When knocked out in battle, you are only knocked unconscious, and your
characters will NEVER die permanently. When unconscious, characters can not
act or be healed. You need to revive them with Water Magic or the Dawn Rune
so that they can act again.
A character can ONLY permanently die in war battles, so don't worry about it
in normal battles.
-----------------------------------------------------
Now for the Positive Status Effects.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Boost
The Boost effect is given by a Rune, and is signified by a yellowish glow.
Your character's attack power is doubled for three rounds, and then thrid HP
is set to 1.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Wall
From the Wall Rune. With Wall on, defense is doubled, but the character is
completely unable to act, other than by defense. The only time you want to
give this to someone is on a tank who has a Firefly Rune.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Steel
From the Steel Rune. With this status, you take half normal damage from
physical attacks, but your magical defense is dropped to 0. Not really
positive . . .
-----------------------------------
Effect: Fury
Fury will probably end up being one of the most common statuses in the game
for any player. Fury is caused in two ways: One, by a Rune, and Two: By a
character close to another character Die in battle. For example, when Lyon
dies in battle, the Hero gains Fury Status. Your attack power is raised by
50%, but your hit percentage is lowered.
Fury is signified by a Blue-ish fire.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Berserk
Much like Fury, but caused by the Crazed Rune. During Berserk, you are unable
to command your character, but your attack power is raised, and accuracy
lowered.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Skunk
Another Rune effect. Enemies will not target the character with a Skunk rune
on.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Alert
Something like the Boost Rune, except for Magic. Your magical attack power is
raised by 50% for a few rounds, until it wears off.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Boundary
From the Boundary Rune, damage from magical damage is halved, but physical
defense is turned to 0. Much like the Steel Rune.
-----------------------------------
Effect: Toasty
From the bath, your characters will recover HP each round until the effect
wears off.
-----------------------------------
There are also two types of shields that Earth Magic gives you. These look
the same, like little floating globes of light, but have different effects.
Clay Guardian lowers the magical and physical damage you take. The other
protects you from a single magical attack.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- The Formation System ---
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unlike previous Suikoden Games (which only gave you access to a very basic
formation system) Suikoden V has a more advanced system for determining the
party member placement.
First off: What is a Formation?
A Formation is something you can use after getting a Key Item (found in
treasure chests) called a Tactic. Some examples of these "Formations" are
True Men, Geese, Cross, Tiger, and ArrowStance. There are many more other than
this to find in the game.
With a full party (6 members) you will need to be careful which formation that
you use. EVERY character in the game has a certain "Attack Range." This
Attack Range, which consists of the letters S, M, or L, determine how well a
character can hit in what position.
S - Short Range Attacker, hits the best in the first and second rows
M - Mid Range Attacker, hits the best in the second and third rows.
L - Long Range Attacker, can hit well anywhere, but tends to do best in the
very back.
Character Examples of S, M, and L:
S: Georg, Kyle
M: Hero, Lyon
L: Sialeeds
When a character is out of their "Attack Range" they will miss physically most
of the time. So if you put your Hero in the front row, and wonder why he is
missing, this "Attack Range" is the reason. Ideally, the Prince should be
going in the center of your Formations.
If this all a bit complex for you, stay in Standard formation until you've
figured everything out.
-----------------------------------
All formations also have special abilities that go with them, called Formation
Skills. Formation Skills are attacks that use the entire party, so you will
not be able to issue any commands but the Formation Command when you choose to
use it.
To use a Formation Skill, Choose "Formation" on the battle menu, and
then "Form. Skl." This will give you the option to use the skill available to
the current formation you are using.
Note that Formation Skills will be unusable if a member of your party has
the "Anger" status on. Anger stop Co-Op attacks, and the Formation Skill is
pretty much a big Co-Op attack.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- The Skill System ---
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Skills play an important role in character development in Suikoden V. The
higher levels your skills are, the greater the character's ability in battle
will be. Unfortunately, there are only 2 slots for skills, so you must choose
carefully what role you want your characters to play in battle.
Not every character can gain the maximum level in every skill. The ability of
a character is determined before you start the game (it is not random, don't
worry) so some characters reach a lower skill cap than others. For example,
some characters can get a SS in Magic Sword, but not in Magic Attack.
Also note that when you begin the game, you are only going to be able to raise
your skills (magical and physical) to level C. To raise Skills higher than C,
you need Combat and Magic manuals found in chests throughout the game. For
example, Basic Combat will allow you train up to B in all combat skills, but
only with your in-house (Recruited) Physical Traininers.
==================================
Physical Skills:
==================================
-----------------------------------
Stamina: When equipped, your HP total is raised.
-----------------------------------
Attack: When equipped, your physical attack power is raised.
-----------------------------------
Defense: When equipped, your physical defense is raised, and you will have a
higher chance of parying and defending versus physical attacks.
-----------------------------------
Technique: When equipped, your hit percentage is raised.
-----------------------------------
Vitality: When equipped, your rate of Critical Hits goes up.
-----------------------------------
Agility: When equipped, there will be a higher chance of evading attacks,
attacking first, and having more consecutive attacks more often.
-----------------------------------
==================================
Magical Skills:
==================================
-----------------------------------
Magic: When equipped, your strength with Rune spells is raised.
-----------------------------------
Magic Defense: When equipped, you will take less damage from magical attacks.
-----------------------------------
Incantation: This is hard to judge (I may not be correct on this) but when
equipped, the speed of Rune casting is raised. For example, you will cast
spells sooner than when not equipped.
-----------------------------------
Sword of Magic: When equipped, the damage done with Magic Sword status is
raised.
-----------------------------------
==================================
Personal Skills:
==================================
Personal skills are unremovable skills that give support effects. These
skills are non-learnable by characters who do not have them initially.
There will be no character spoilers in this section, I am just going to name
off the skills, not tell you who has them.
-----------------------------------
Combat Training: The ability to use a Combat Trainer anywhere, as long as the
character is in your party or Entourage.
-----------------------------------
Magic Training: The ability to use a Magical Trainer anywhere, as long as the
character is in your party or entourage.
-----------------------------------
Appraisal: The ability to Apparaise and Sell your appraised items in the
field, as long as the character is in your entourage.
-----------------------------------
Forge: The ability to have access to the Castle Blacksmith anywhere on the
field, as long as the character is in your entourage.
-----------------------------------
Rune Sage: The ability to have access to a Rune Master anywhere on the field,
as long as the character is in your battle party or Entourage.
-----------------------------------
Potch Finder: Earn more potch after the battle. The higher the level, the
higher percenatge of extra potch you get after battle. S=+50%.
-----------------------------------
Treasure Hunter: Raises the percentage that you'll find items after battle.
-----------------------------------
Cooking: Higher chance of finding food-type items after battles -- I think.
-----------------------------------
Perfect Pitch: Raises the damage done by the DoReMi Rune.
-----------------------------------
Chain Magic: Allows two instant castings of spells for the price of 1 MP.
-----------------------------------
Note that there are more skills than these, but they are called "Epic
Skills." These skills can only be used when other skills in the set are at
level A. For example, the Epic Skill "Royal Paradise" can only be used when
all other skills are set to A.
Also note that not all characters can use all Epic Skills, the Hero excluded.
He can use every Epic Skill.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lastly about SP, there is Party SP. Party SP is there so that you can help a
character learn an ability in case they are a few SP short. For example, if
the Hero wants to learn Attack B, but does not have the SP needed, he can use
some Party SP to help him level it up.
Any character can tranfer Personal SP to Party SP. If you find yourself with a
character who has a lot of Personal SP, but you don't want to use the
character anymore, you can always have them give their SP to the Party SP Pool.
Party SP carries over to a New Game+, Personal SP does not.
===============================================================================
--- Frequently Asked Questions ---
===============================================================================
This section goes over the questions I have seen asked over and over about
gameplay in Suikoden V. There will be no questions about story here, since
some issues are still being debated, and my views may differ on some issues
than yours.
-----------------------------------
Question:
Should I buy Suikoden V if I have never played a Suikoden game before?
---
Answer:
Well, this is as good of place to start as any. You need to have no prior
knowledge of the Suikoden series to play this game, though it does give you a
few added bonuses. The main problem for you will be the lack of tutorial and
gamplay aspects. I suggest reading the instruction manual carefully.
-----------------------------------
Question:
In what order do the Suikoden games go in, time-wise?
---
Answer:
Tactics - IV - Tactics - - - - - V - I - II - III
There is a 10 (ten) year difference between Suikoden V and Suikoden I.
-----------------------------------
Question:
How long is this game?
---
Answer:
On average, to collect all Stars of Destiny it will take you around 70-80
hours to beat the game. Without collecting the Stars of Destiny it will
probably take you about 40-50. It is quite long.
-----------------------------------
Question:
Is there a New Game+?
---
Answer:
Yes. After you have beat the game and watched the credits, save the file to a
New Game+. Your Weapon Levels, Personal SP, Ability Levels, "Lym Points,"
Characters, or equipped Runes/Armor do NOT transfer over to a New Game+. The
Sun Set armor does not transfer to a New Game+ even if you do not have it
equipped.
What DOES transfer over is Party SP, Items/Runes/etc in your Storage at the
time of beating the game, Items/Armor/etc in your inventory that were NOT
equipped when you beat the Final boss, Epic Skills, Tactics, Potch,and
Combat/Magic books.
Unfortunately, there is also no Costume Change either (There really should be!)
-----------------------------------
Question:
Is it possible to skip cutscenes?
---
Answer:
Nope. Why would you want to do that?
-----------------------------------
Question:
Why is Sialeeds not on my "Tablet of Stars?"
---
Answer:
Characters do not go onto your "Tablet of Stars" until you get the official
message "You have befriended [Character]!" on your screen. This is also true
with characters like Kyle, and even later Georg, who you play with early on
but don't get as Stars until later.
-----------------------------------
Question:
Why won't Viki teleport me/Luserina allow me to change party members?
---
Answer:
Usually, when this is the case, there is a scene you need to see in the castle
before leaving. Look all around the castle before trying to speak with
Luserina or Viki again.
-----------------------------------
Question:
Is there a costume change feature? At all? Please tell me there is...
---
Answer:
No there is not. . .I really, really, really wish there was though. I would
wear a certain costume from end-game my entire New-Game+.
-----------------------------------
Question:
How do I train skills past "C?"
---
Answer:
You need Key items, such as Basic Combat, Elementary Combat, Basic Magic,
Elementary Magic, etc. to get your skills past "C." Then, only certain
characters IN YOUR ARMY can train you.
-----------------------------------
Question:
How do I use "Epics?"
---
Answer:
First, you need to be able to get your combat or magic skills to "A" level.
Once this is possible, level the two (or more) skills to "A" necessary for the
Epics. For example, Fate Control. With Fate Control, you need Attack and
Technique levelled up to A to use the Epic skill.
-----------------------------------
Question:
What is a "Formation Skill?"
---
Answer:
Certain Formations, such as True Men, have something called a "Formation
Skill." When you select "Formation" in a battle, you have the option of
selecting "Form Skl." This will allow you to use the Formation skill of the
selected Formation. Different formations allow the use of different skills.
You can NOT use Formation skills when one character has the "angry" status
(can not use Co-Ops) as formation skills work like entire-party Co-Ops.
-----------------------------------
Question:
How do I get the Co-Op (Unite) "Speak with Fist" to work? It is always Grey
in the command menu. . .
---
Answer:
Apparently, you need three status effects on Nikea and Shoon, Volence, Fury,
and Boost. I have not tried this myself though.
-----------------------------------
Question:
How many endings are there?
---
Answer:
Other than the optional endings that prematurely end the game, there are 5.
2 Good Endings. These endings both require 108 Stars, and one also requires
that you have been somewhat nice to Lym to get.
1 Normal Ending: From 61-107 Stars of Destiny.
1 Bad Ending: From anything less than 60 Stars of Destiny.
-----------------------------------
Question:
If one of my characters dies in combat, are they gone permanently?
---
Answer:
Yes. I hope you have a backup save, because this wil also mean that it is
impossible to recuit all of the 108 Stars of Destiny.
Note that important story characters can not die permanently in battle.
-----------------------------------
Question:
Do Runes of the same name stack? Such as having two Killer Runes on Georg give
him a higher rate of Criticals?
---
Answer:
No, Runes with the same name never, ever stack.
Thank you Vagabond Sausage for demanding I put this in here.
===============================================================================
--- [Chapter 1: Homecoming ] ---
===============================================================================
There will be no chance for you to load previous Suikoden data when you start
this game. Unlike what was previously rumored, Kyril is not a character you
can obtain by loading data from Suikoden Tactics. So if this is your first
Suikoden, or never bothered with Suikoden IV or Tactics, don't fret!
After naming your character, selecting your settings, and watching the opening
sequences, answer your father and mother in any manner you wish. It does not
affect the game, other than the text shown afterwards. Soon, you gain control.
Note: Be careful with your answers during the beginning (first 10 or so
hours) of the game. These will actually affect the ending that you get. If
you are too mean, it will be impossible to get one of the endings! So try to
be a balance of both nice and mean, if you do want to be mean.

The Past--Lordlake
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Georg, Sialeeds
Shops: Item, Armor, Inn -- [Unavailable]
Characters: None
Items: Escape Scroll3, Medicine5, Sacrificial Jizo
Note: In the past, parts of the town are closed off to you. You will be
unable to access the back alleys, for instance.
As you gain control you'll find a save point to the north, so use it if you
wish. Continue south into the main town. Near the "fountain" there is a man
in green with a large hat. Speak with him. Now head east into the Clinic,
which is just north of the dried up fountain. Watch a scene. Reply how you
wish, but "Who are you?" makes you seem nicer, if possible. Exit the Clinic.
Back in the main town, head southwest and walk down the stairs. Watch the
short scene, and cross over the dried up canal. On the other side of town,
continue south over a second bridge. Head all the way over the the southeast
corner of this area (it's a bit far) and open the chest here for an ESCAPE
SCROLL3. The passage to the forest is blocked, so head northwest to the Rovere
Mansion. In the scene, choose "Let's go in."
Enter the mansion, and you'll find it in shambles. Go through the door on the
western wall to another room. Open the chest in here for MEDICINE5. Now, head
through the door to the back on the southwest wall. It's somewhat hard to
see, but press against the wall long enough and you'll find it. Watch a
scene. When you gain control, head southwest, and down the hidden stairs (once
again, hard to see). Open the chest here, and you will obtain a SACRIFICIAL
JIZO. Head back through the Rovere Mansion and into the main town.
Outside the Rovere Mansion, head north over the bridge, through the small area
of town, and when you can, head west. There is a large pier in this smaller
area of town. At the end of the pier, watch a scene. Choose whatever you
like, but I prefer to choose "I can't let you do that."
When you regain control, head all the way to the south of the town. The
forest, which was once blocked will now be opened. Head on into it.

Withered Forest
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Georg, Sialeeds
Suggested Level: 3
Enemies: Hairball, Mad Dog
Items: Medicine5, Mega Medicine3
Boss: Ulse x3
This will be your first dungeon. It is short and sweet, and quite easy. If
you get bored selecting commands in the frequent random encoutners,
select "Auto" from the base menu, since it is easy to use at this point. Note
that "Auto" is not safe to use in all battles later in the game, but it is a
perfect option in these easy, repetitve battles.
Follow the path down until you reach the save point. Head over the bridge,
and at the intersection head west. Follow the twisting path until you reach a
second intersection. Head southeast, and at the next intersection (this one
has a sign) head south. Here, head west when you can, and open the chest for
MEDICINE5. Head back up to the sign, and continue east. When you can, head
south, and continue east and open the chest for some MEGA MEDICINE3. Head back
up to the previous intersection and head all the way east. Watch a scene.
Being a good guy and choosing "Let's save him!" is more interesting than the
other option.
***************************************************************
Boss: Ulse x3
Reward: Medicine1, Violence Piece, Boost Piece
This battle takes place with three separate enemies, as do most boss battles
in Suikoden V. Because there are so many multi-target bosses in this game, you
should equip Runes that target multiple foes as well as stronger, single
target Runes. That's for later on though.
Since Georg is level 20 in this battle, you should have him concentrate on one
of the Ulse. Because he has a high critical attack rate, he will probably take
one Ulse down on the first round, and if he does not, than he will leave it in
critical range. What you should do in this case, is have your Hero and Lyon
use their Co-Op attack "Sworn Protector" on one of the Ulse, while Georg and
Sialeeds make sure that the second Ulse is killed the first round.
Note: If you're extra lucky, Georg will actually attack twice on the first
round, and the battle will end before the enemies get a turn. This is rare
though, but hey, it's fun.
On the second round, hopefully you'll be down to two Ulse (unless Georg
missed, then things might get messy and you'll need to use items, such as
Medicine). Use the same strategy here. Have your Hero and Lyron use "Sworn
Protector" on that already half-dead Ulse from last round, while Georg and
Sialeeds attack the other Ulse.
This should kill off the Ulse. But if not, use "Sworn Protector" and physical
attacks to take the monsters down on the third or fourth rounds.
***************************************************************
Note: You'll get your first "Rune Pieces" after this battle. When you have 4
of each Rune piece (not 4 total, you need 4 of a specific piece) you will be
able to make it into a Rune through a Rune Master in any town.

The Present--Sun Palace
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Shops: None
Characters: None
Items: Dress, Refined Clothes, Scarf, Mega Medicine3
Note: In these opening sequences you'll find your party changing constantly.
You will not get a steady party back until after the Sun Palace events are
over.
After the scene, you head back to present time. In the cutscene, you may
answer how you wish to the many questions asked. Either way, you're going to
have to go find your sister, Lymsleia.
The Palace is huge, with many people to talk to. Unfortunately, the lack of
good items in the Sun Palace saddens us treasure hunters.
From where you gain control, head southwest and go through the large double
doors on the western wall. Head east, and up two sets of stairs to the second
floor. Now, head all the way southwest, and then all the way west. Enter the
door to the far side, which is Lymsleia's Room. Talk to both maids in here to
learn that Lym (her "nickname") is not here at the moment. Looks like we're
going to have to go look for her!
Head back into the hall, and head all the way east. There is a door on the
eastern hall that leads to the Great Hall. On the second floor, head south,
and go up the spiralling stairs. In this Rune Chamber, speak to the scholars
and ask all three questions when prompted. Head back downstairs to the Great
Hall. Now, continue east, and enter the far eastern door.
Head south on the western wing of 2F, and enter the Hero's room. Talk to the
maid, and tell her that you're looking for the Princess. She hasn't been here
yet, it seems. Exit your room, and head all the way east. In this storage
room, open the two chests for a DRESS and some REFINED CLOTHES. Exit the room,
and head all the way north. Go down the stairs to 1F.
On 1F, head all the way to the south and watch a scene. Meet Kyle, who will
be joining your party off and on for the next few events. Enter the Knight's
Guard Room and watch a scene.
Note: If there is a guard in front of the door to the Guard Room, you will
need to go back and revists certain areas of the palace. Namely, Lymsleia's
Room, the Hero's Room, and the Rune Chamber. This should move the guard.
After the scene ends, speak with the Queens Knights as you wish. It is a good
time to get to know them. Ferid is in the back room, if you want to speak with
him too. When you're ready to go on, exit the Knight's Guard Room. Watch a
scene and meet Lymsleia and Miakis. (The more interesting answer here
is "Um...a little help here?")
At this point, you gain Miakis, Lymsleia, and Kyle in your party again. Exit
the room, and Sialeeds rejoins you. Now head all the way west, and into the
Great Hall. Exit to the outside of the Sun Palace. You may want to save on
the way out.
In the castle Courtyard, head down the stairs to the east, and open the chest
for a SCARF. Now, head back up the stairs, and continue south. Head down the
stairs to the east again, and circle underneath the bridge. Head to the
southwestern corner of the area, and open the chest for some MEGA MEDICINE3.
Now,head back to the stairs and go back up them. Directly across from the
stairs is a pathway that leads to the Senate. Watch a scene, and enter the
Senate Hall.
Head through the door, to the west, and watch another short scene. Continue
through this room, and into the larger chamber. In here, head west and speak
with the lady guarding the door. She will tell you that they do not have the
information that you need at the moment. Now, we need to speak with everybody
in the Senate. This is quite the time consuming process. The easiest way to
go about it is to start at the top and work down. There are 6 people on the
top level of the senate, with 2 in the central room. Continue down to the
lower level, and speak with the 4 people here, and the person in the
northwestern doors. After speaking with all of them, head into the central
building on the lower level and watch a scene. Meet Euram and Salum.
When you regain control, speak with the last 4 people in the Senate. Exit the
room, and head back to the upper level of the Hall. Talk to the woman by the
door, and if you've spoken with everyone, she will move. Watch a scene.
After the scene ends, exit the Senate Hall (finally) and head into the Front
of the Sun Palace. Miakis, Sialeeds, and Lym leave your party.
When given the choice, choose to go to town. The more entertaining option
here is to agree with Kyle. Head south and enter Sol-Falena.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Kyle
Shops: Inn, Item, Armor, Appraisal, Physical Training, Magic Training, Trading
Post, Blacksmith (Level 3)
Characters: None
Enemies: Thug
Items: Bandana, Mega Medicine3, Medicine5
From where you begin, head southeast. Go down the stairs here, and cross the
bridge to the north. The Blacksmith is just north of you. It is a good idea
to sharpen your Hero's and Lyon's weapon to level 3, if you have the Potch.
Kyle should be done last, since he is off-and-on at this point. It takes 3,000
Potch to sharpen everyone's weapon to level 3.
After you're done here, head east and north up the stairs. This is the
Trading Post. If you want, you can buy some cheap-ish Salt here to use later
in recruiting a character. Continue east, and head south. There's a chest
here that contains a BANDANA. Head back west past the Trading Post, and
continue southwest. You'll pass the Physical Training Center, which you
probably will not have enough points for now. Continue over the bridge, and
keep going west until you pass under the bridge at the central side of town.
The Inn is over here, and there's not a lot in here. Continuing west, go south
when you can, and open the chest at the top of the stairs to the side (its on
a mini-building) for some MEGA MEDICINE3. For now, head northwest and out of
this square type area from the north. There is a chest in this next area that
contains MEDICINE5. Head back south, and then continue west. At the far
western side of town you will find the Rune Shop. When you enter, watch a
scene.
At this point, you probably will not have enough money to buy any Runes
(unfortunately), so we need to take Kyle's advice and head back to the Sun
Palace. As you exit the building, watch a scene. At this point, you can choose
for the Prince to enter the foray or no, but you will have to fight 6 Thugs if
you do. It's an easy battle, since Kyle is level 20, like Georg, and has a
nice Water Rune for you to play with.
After the scene, you need to head back to the Sun Palace. After you have
finished your work in Sol-Falena head back to the Palace, as you can not exit
town at this time.

Head north through the Plaza into the Palace itself. Watch the scenes. As
you're leaving, speak with all of the Queen's Knights for some interesting
text. Exit to the south. Head through the Plaza to the main town. Stay on the
upper level, and head south over the large bridge that extends over town.
This leads to the Pier. After another screen of Bridge, you will finally end
up in the Pier.
Walk down the stairs, and speak with Kyle near th southwestern dock. He will
not be joining you this time, unfortunately. Hop on the ship to leave Sol-
Falena. Watch the scene.
***************************************************************
Boss: Zadom
Reward: Medicine1, Fire Sealing Pc1, Breath of Ice S1
Since you have the same party that you did during the previous boss fight, you
should approach it in much the same manner. At this point, Georg will still
be extremely overpowered, so having him use normal attacks is all that he will
be doing. The Hero and Lyon should use "Sworn Protector," while Sialeeds
attacks, and heals with Healing Wind as necessary.
The Zadom has a status (breath) attack that will cause characters to be
unablke to use Co-Op attacks. For now, this only effects Lyon and your Hero,
but it is somewhat of a pain. Other than that, he has an area attack hat hits
every party member. This second attack does not have a very good hit
percentage so it may miss a character or two, but because of its large hit
range it is still potentially dangerous.
Though this battle will be over quickly, watch your HP. If anyone's HP falls
below 30, heal them immediately, as the bosses most powerful attacks can do up
to 20 damage to a character. Fortunately, the battle should be over before you
need to heal.

Characters: None
Items: Old Book 7, Double Arm Tactic
When you gain control, head south towards to Arena and watch another scene.
When you can, head into the Arena. The Arena is pretty much a large colusseum
with multiple levels, and is a pain to navigate. You'll be spending the next
few hours here, so you'll need to learn it, unfortunately.
Ignore the first door to the stands and head to the west, where another scene
plays. Whether or not you choose to see the Dragons does not affect anything.
When you regain control, continue east and head south down the first area when
you can. Exit to the far south into the stands again. Watch another scene
here. When you regain control, head east and back inside the arena.
You'll be near some stairs, so go down them. Downstairs, go north and onto the
next screen. You'll immediately bump into the Infirmary. Enter this room,
head all the way south, and down the stairs to the southeast. Choose "Let's
see it." and walk east along the dark path for a few scenes. After they are
over, head back up to the Infirmary, and out into the main hallways. Head
north of the Infirmary, and exit to the northwest (The "Front of the Arena.")
Out here, search along the southwestern wall for the "DOUBLE ARM TACTIC," your
first key item. In the northwestern corner of this area you'll find a chest
containing the OLD BOOOK 7, which you will use later. Head back inside. Head
south through two screens until you reach a vertical screen. Continue south on
this screen, and you'll reach a set of stairs going up. Watch a short scene
here. Head back downstairs, and approach the door to the south. Watch another
scene. Choose "Sure Thing!" to explore the town.
Note: If you missed the Double Arm Tactic at this point, you will not be able
to get it for a bit. The next chance is right before the final round of the
Sacred Games. The game will constantly give you excuses for not being able to
exit the Arena into this area.

Characters: Gavaya (Step 1)
Items: Medicine5, Bandage, Mega Medicine3, Leather Hat, Bracelet
Watch a scene. Head south, and make sure to speak with the Red-headed man to
the west and watch a scene. From here, head west past the Inn and Magic
Training Center, and then go north. Follow this path until you reach a chest
at the very end, which contains a MEDICINE5. Head back southeast to the
central plaza of town. Now, head east in-between two buildings (its somewhat
hard to see) and watch a scene here. Meet Shoon.
From where you gain control, head south and open the chest for a BANDAGE. Head
north, and circle back around to the south to find the Physical Training
Center and a chest containing a MEGA MEDICINE3. Now head all the way north
and then west back to the main plaza. From here, head directly south, and you
will find the "New Part of Town."
In the newer portion of town, you will find other shops, as well as a
Blacksmith. From where you begin, head east to find the armor shop, and take
the first fork south. You'll find the Appraisal and Item shops here. Head
back north, and go west. Head south down the central path, which, at the very
bottom has a chest containing a LEATHER HAT. Go back north, continue west, and
head south and you'll find the Blacksmith's, which upgrades to level 3. You
should have some more money at this point, from the boss, so you may want to
spend it here. There's one more chest in the New Part of Town, which is down
the next part of the western portion, at the southern end. Open this for a
BRACELET. After you're done in the New Part of Town, head all the way back
north to the plaza area.
In the main area once again, head northwest and enter the Inn. Watch a scene.
Choose "We'll look into it quietly." to trigger the next series of events.
When you regain control, exit the Inn. Head back to the plaza, and go north
back to the Arena. Continue north and speak with Sialeeds, who joins you once
again. On this screen, almost everyone that you speak to is a shop.
Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot of new goodies. Exit back to town.
Head back to the Inn and Shoon will rejoin your party. Watch a scene and you
will enter the sewer.

Head west and watch a scene. When you gain control, step on that pink square
on the ground, when ends up being a floor switch that opens the door. Head
through the western door and open the chest for an ANTITOXIN3. From here, head
northeast, and when you can, take the path to the south. Soon, Georg will
stop you. Watch a scene. Continue northeast, and at the intersection, head
west. At the next intersection, head northeast again and step on the pink
floor switch. Head back southeast to the previous intersection, and when you
can, continue north. Follow the path west, and open the chest here for a
SACRIFICIAL JIZO.
Head back southeast and to the previous intersection. Head west, and continue
all the way to the end for some LEATHER ARMOR. Head back to the intersection
and go southwest. Continue west and you'll reach a save point. From here, head
south and follow this path to the very end and you'll reach another floor
switch. This opens the final door. Head back to the save point, and continue
west through the newely opened door. You automatically enter the Arena.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Georg, Sialeeds, Shoon
Enemies: Arrow Bat, Snail, Suspicious Man
After you gain control, head to the far northwestern corner of the area. Watch
a scene. Now, follow the path (its easy to follow, as there are no
intersections) until you reach the end. There are some random encounters in
here, so be careful. At the end, go up the ladder for another scene. You are
forced into a battle with 5 Suspicious Men. This is not quite a boss battle,
but its also quite a bit more difficult than the other battles that you have
fought so far. Using Auto Battle in this is not recommended.
After the scenes, Shoon leaves and you start under the Infirmary. Head back
upstairs, and watch a long scene. At this point, you are forced into your
first Duel.
Note: If you don't know how to duel, its pretty much like Rock-Paper-
Scissors. There are three commands, each weak versus one and strong versus
another. Guard is weak versus Attack, but strong versus Special. Attack is
weak versus Special, but strong versus Guard. Special is strong versus Atack
but weak versus Guard. NEVER Special when your opponent is Guarding, else you
will take a lot of damage. The game will not tell you what your opponent is
going to do, but they will give you audio clues. The more fierce the
opponents tone, the more likely he is to use a Special, or an attack. The
more cautious he is, the more likely he is to Guard. This is how it is in all
Duels.
---------------------------------------
Duel 1: The Sacred Games - Hero vs Shoon
Attack: Here I come!
Attack: No way!! You haven't got the best of me yet!
Attack: I can't let you keep getting the best of me!
Attack: Not good enough, eh? Here I come again!
Special: I'm going to give it all I've got, be sure you're ready for me!
Special: Now its my turn, Ill show you what my full power is like!
Special: Here comes another one, and this time I'll do it right!
Defense: You come at me too, Prince.
Defense: *pant pant* I can't believe you turned my best move back on me!
Defense: Very nice, I guess I'll have to be more careful. . .
Defense: That was a real princely move, I won't last if I keep getting hit
like that. . .
Whether you win this battle or not does not affect the outcome of the game. It
is more of a duel tutorial. Remember to Attack when Shoon Guards, Guard when
he Specials, and Special when he Attacks.
---------------------------------------
Watch a scene. Exit the Infirmary, and head south through two screens of the
Arena. On the third screen, head west up the stairs. In the Royal Chambers,
continue north through another screen, and into the Royal Box seats. Watch
the scene. At this point, you may speak with the Knights, the Queen, and Ferid
if you wish. When you're ready to continue, sit down in your chair, which is
at the southwest of the screen. Watch the scenes.
The game puts you near the entrance of the Arena. Head south, and exit.
Before you can get out, another scene plays. Now you can really get to town.

As you enter...Watch a scene. After it ends, continue south into the plaza.
Once in the plaza, head southwest and west past the the Inn (where you
previously spoke with Shoon.) From here, head north and follow the path to
another scene. At this point, you are forced into a battle with 5 Thugs. Like
the Suspicious Men, they are stronger than normal enemies and you may not want
to use Auto Battle on them if you have been relying on it a lot.
Watch a scene, and meet Belcoot, who joins your party. Head back east and
south to the Inn. Enter the Inn and watch a scene. Exit the Inn, and watch a
scene (again.) After the scene, you end up in the plaza area. Head north and
enter the Arena.
Note: Egbert, a character you will be able to recruit later is in the eastern
side of town if you want to talk to him now. I suggest doing so, though it is
not required. Also, at this point you will probably have enough skill points
to do your first batch of levelling up skills. Though you will only be able to
level one or so up at this point, it is important to start early and make
plans for what you want to level throughout the game.

Enemies [World Map]: Holly Boy, Hairball, Blade Bunny, Snail
Mini-Boss [World Map]: Wild Boar
As you re-enter the Arena, watch a scene. When you gain control, exit your
room and head down the stairs to the west. Continue south to the entrance of
the Arena and exit to the main city of Stormfist. Head back west to the Inn
that you were just at last night. Watch a scene.
Belcoot joins your party temporarily at this point. Now, exit the Inn and head
over to the plaza. Head south and into the "New Part of Town." It is a good
idea to sharpen Belcoot's weapon to at least level 2, though it is not
required.
There are two exits to Stormfist. These are in the Southeastern and
Southwestern corners of the New Part of Town. They are really hard to see, but
if you press against the wall at the far southeast and southwest you will be
able to exit the town. The guard tp the Southwest will not let you pass, but
the guard to the Southeast will.
Note: While on the World Map, you can run around fighting enemies. You may
encounter a Wild Boar, which is counted as a Mini Boss. The battle music
before the battle (where the sun is coming down before the battle) is
different in a mini-boss than before a normal battle. You should get a Power
Piece1, some Marbeled Beef, Fur Clothes, 2,500 Potch and 18 Party SP for
beating this monster. Nice rewards at this point!
Another Note: Being your first time on the World Map, you may want to spend
some time fighting. The Western Woods are right next to the city, but that
doesn't mean that you can not explore a bit. You won't be able to go anywhere
dangerous for your party at this point, fortunately.

Suggested Level: 10
Enemies: Creeper, Holly Boy, Snail, Thug
Items: Goose Tactic, Mega Medicine3
Boss: None
After the scene, you may want to use the save point at the entrance. You can
not go down the normal path in these woods, so head down the animal path that
Sialeeds pointed out. It is straightforward, though it twists quite often.
Don't expect to get lost, and expect to deal with a lot of random encounters.
Move Belcoot to the front and let him tank, rather than Georg. Belcoot parrys
quite often and will take the least damage of any member of your party.
Press against the eastern (right) side of the path and you'll find a little
hidden side path. There is a chest here that contains a GOOSE TACTIC. Heasd
back to the main path, and when there is an intersection, take the north path
and open the chest for MEGA MEDICINE3. Continue along the western path at this
point to reach the house. Watch a scene. You are forced, once again, to fight
a battle with 5 Thugs. Having Belcoot and Georg in the front for this will
make you pretty much invulverable.
After the battle, head southwest down the path. Exit the forest, walk over
the World Map, and head back to Stormfist. Watch a scene.

When you gain control, head out of the room. After the scene (answering will
not change the events of the game) head back into your room and go to sleep.
The next morning, head donwstairs for another scene. Exit the Inn, and head
back into the Arena again.
Note: If you missed the Double Arm Tactic from before, now is a good time to
go get it; the door to get it is right by the Infirmary, and leads to the
front of the Arena.
In the Arena, head back upstairs. Go north two screens, and enter the Royal
Box. Watch a scene. Now, head south down two screens and head downstairs.
Head back north up two screens and go west another. Enter the Infirmary and
watch a scene. When you regain control, follow Sialeeds down to the lower
level where the Gladiators are kept. Head into the first door you see, and
watch a scene. Sialeeds rejoins you.
Head back upstairs, exit the Infirmary, and head south through three screens
until you reach the stairs leading to the Royal Chambers. The Queen's room is
to the northwest. But if you speak with the Knights and the Princess, you'll
get some interesting conversation as well. When you're ready to continue,
enter the Queen's room for a scene.
When you wake up the next morning, enter the Queen's Room and speak to your
mother and father.
Note: The answer you gave Lyon a few moments ago about how you slept allows
Ferid to reply to you in different manners. Nothing drastic changes, but it
is rather entertaining to see the different choices. "I slept like a log"
gives you more entertaining text than the other choice.
When you're ready, head downstairs, and exit the Arena. Continue along into
the Plaza.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You should speak with the girl (by the Leopard) at this
point. Ask Lyon for advice in this scene, and she will tell you her name is
Norma. This is important for later.
Enter the Inn and head upstairs into the northern room. Speak with Marina and
Belcoot. Exit the Inn, and finish any other business you have in Stormfist.
When you're ready to continue on with the game, head back into the Area, and
go upstairs. Speak with Ferid again, and tell him "Yes, we're done." This
will let you automatically leave Stormfist.

When you wake up the next morning, Lymsleia and Miakis join your party. Head
north and Sialeeds will join you as well. As you head downstairs, Georg will
too. Head into the Great Hall, and into the audience chamber with the Queen.
Watch a scene. After you're done exploring or doing whatever you wish, exit
into Sol-Falena.
In Sol-Falena, you will notice that the level at the Blacksmith's shop has
raised. Level up your Hero and Lyon's weapon before anyone elses.
Note: Remember the Rune Shop "babe" that Kyle was so desperate to see? Well,
she's at work today. Unfortunately for Kyle, he is on duty, but that does not
stop you for seeing her. This event can only be seen with Lymsleia in your
party.
Also, now is a good time to finish buying the rest of the 6 Salt from the
Trading Post. You will need these later for recruiting a character for your
army.
When you're done in Sol-Falena, you will need to exit to the east. If you are
having trouble finding it, head southeast from the Blacksmith's, then south
over a small bridge to find the Appraisal shop. From here, head directly
south and you'll find a small covered bridge. This leads to the exit of the
town.

Items: Arrowhead Tactic, Sunbeam Piece, Glass Slippers, Cape, Sleep Orb
Enemies [World Map]: Armadillion, Wild Boar, Holly Boy, Holly Elf, Hairball,
Blade Bunny, Golden Bunny
Mini-Boss [World Map]: Peckles (Power Piece1, Marbeled Beef, Leather Cape,
2500 Potch, 18 party SP) Wizard Tree (1,000 Potch, 4 Party SP)
Note: If you run around the forests a bit, you may encounter a Wizard Tree in
a random encounter. This is another Mini-Boss for the World Map. He gives
you 1,000 Potch and 4 party SP. You'll also find a Peckles Mini-Boss in the
fields.
The East Palace is just to the northeast of Sol-Falena, and is a required stop
to continue in the game.
As you enter the East Palace, head north across the bridge. In the house to
the far northwest, you will find a chest that contains the ARROWHEAD TACTIC.
There is also a chest on a small peninsula to the far east that contains a
SUNBEAM PIECE.
Continue north, but do not enter the Palace just yet. Circle around it to the
west, and to the north you'll find a chest that contains some GLASS SLIPPERS.
Continue along to the west (circling the building) and you'll find yet another
chest, which holds a CAPE. Head south, and when you can head east onto a small
dock in the water (its white.) Follow this long dock all the way to the end,
and press X. You open a very well hidden chest containing a SLEEP ORB.
After obtaining these items, approach the entrance to the palace. Watch a
scene. After that, you're free to leave the Palace. Head all the way south,
but leave from the east this time.
PS: Every time a character leaves and rejoins your party, you have to
reposition your character formation. A pain yes, but its better to be safe in
battle than sorry.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Georg, Sialeeds, Miakis, Isato, Lymsleia
Shops: None
Characters: None

Unlike previously, following the road will not get you to Lunas. There is also
a lot more to explore at this point. You will find Raftfleet to the
southeast, though you can not enter it. The Revolving Bridge is to the far
east, though there is nothing to do there, either.
To get to Lunas, head directly north from East Palace. It's a long walk, but
eventually you'll reach the town of Lunas.
As you enter Lunas, watch a scene. Head east across two bridges, and when you
can, head south down another. Continue all the way towards the screen (east)
and you'll find three doors. Enter the center door, and you'll find a chest
which contains the OLD BOOK 5. Exit, and continue all the way to the bottom of
the descending path. At the bottom, enter the far western door, and open the
chest in this room for a WATER ORB, which quite possibly will be your first
Rune (unless you've spent a long time levelling, or have sold off quite a bit
of gear.) The Central room also has a chest, this one contains a MAGICAL PIECE.
Now head all the way back up to the top level of Lunas. Near the entrance to
the large building is two more chests, which contain a JEWEL NECKLACE and a
DEFENSE RING. After obtaining all of these items, enter the Oracle's Convlave.
Watch a scene.
When you regain control, head down the long slope again. Once you've reached
the very bottom, head south and watch a scene. Now, head all the way back to
the top of the screen (long walk!) and enter the Oracle's Conclave again.
Watch a scene. Trying to Peek during the scene gives extra entertaining
answers.
When you regain control, head up the slope. At the top, another scene plays.
Head into the "Lunas North Woods." The Woods are a twisting path, which does
not have any extra turns on it. There are a few enemies, though. At the top
of the path, watch a scene.
When you gain control, you can speak with the multiple characters in your
party. When you're ready to go to bed, you'll find your room directly below
Lymsleia's. Its somewhat hard to see in the dark, though.
When you awaken in the morning, Lymsleia and Miakis leave. You automatically
exit town.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Georg, Sialeeds

Sacrifical Jizo, Flowing Piece, Old Book 1
Enemies [World Map]: Armadillion, Snail, Creeper, Ulse, Wild Boar
Mini-Boss [World Map]: Wizard Tree
To get to Raftfleet from Lunas, keep heading southeast. It's on the river, so
its quite far from Lunas. If you accidentally run into Revolving Bridge, head
southwest from there (more south than west) to find Raftfleet.
When you arrive, Sialeeds points out that your goal is the largest ship in
Raftfleet. There are signs all over town that will point the way, but there's
quite a bit of exploring to do otherwise.
The Trading Post is just north of the entrance. After using the save point
(if you desire) you will find the Inn to the west up the stairs. There's
nothing in here -yet-, but there is a THUNDER PIECE outside. Head back down,
and continue north across the platform. At the intersection, head west and
through the boat (you will need to change screens twice unfortunately. Get
used to it with Raftfleet.) Open the chest here for a FIRE SEALING PIECE.
Head back to the intersection and head east. Circle around this particular
boat to the north, and enter the Appraisal Shop.
After walking through the Appraisal Shop, follow the boats and enter the next
house. There is another intersection here. Head through the nothern door
(with the Red Arrow.) Follow this path all the way east, and you'll find the
Rune Shop. Just to the south of the Rune Shop is the unmarked Blacksmith's,
so you'll need to talk to the NPC in the ship to actually know that you're in
the right area.
Through the north door of the Blacksmith's shop is the Armor shop and the Item
Shop, which you should go to if needed. From the Blacksmith's, head south
through the door, and through another ship. In this ship, exit to the west
and open the chest for a SILVER ROBE. Head back to the Blacksmith's shop and
back to the main area. There are two chests just to the east (and slightly
south of the Rune Shop) which contain a MEGA MEDICINE3 and a SACRIFICIAL JIZO.
Head back east, and back to that original intersection. At this intersection,
take the western path (the blue door.)
In this new area, you will find yourself by a large ship, called the Dahak.
Head onto it, and go up the stairs to the west. In here, head north (the
right-handed set) and down the stairs. If you are on the right screen, you
will still be on the interior of the ship, and another set of stairs will be
in front of you. If you walk behind these stairs, you will find the Physical
and Magical Tutors. After using them (if you need to) head up the stairs at
the center of the room.
Up here, head directly west, and press against that black wall. You will
change screens. Outside once again, you will find two chests, which contain a
FLOWING PIECE and the OLD BOOK 1. Go back inside, and head east. Go up the
central staircase. Watch the scene.
At this point, you are prompted to leave Raftfleet. The goal now is to head
back to Sol-Falena. But now is also a nice time to make money, seeing how you
have access to two Trading Posts (Falena and Raftfleet.) If you spend some
time walking between each you can make some easy money.

Characters: None
Enemies: Godwin Soldier (Sword), Godwin Soldier (Bow)
Boss: Assassin, Childrich, Dolph
When you re-enter Falena, you start at the docks. Follow the path west until
you reach the stairs heading east, and go up them. Walk along the pier until
you reach the main town. Finish anything you need to do in Falena, and enter
the Sun Palace through the Plaza.
After speaking with Ferid and Kyle, you are left alone with Lyon. While you
are prompted to speak with the Queen, you can do what you wish to do before.
Speaking the the Queen's Knights is always fun. Kyle and Zahhak have some
especially interesting things to say today. Also, you'll find Murad (the
doctor from Stormfist) on the lower eastern level of the Palace.
To continue with the game, enter the Audience Chambers. Head all the way to
the end, and go through the curtains. As you approach the door here, Lyon
leaves your party for a moment. Watch the scene. Head back out of the Inner
and Audience Chambers, and now we need to go to sleep. Our Hero's bedroom is
on the upper corner of the northeastern side of the Palace.
When you regain control, speak with whomever you wish and then speak with
Ferid. Ferid gives you the option to end the party. Watch a scene.
***************************************************************
Boss: Assassin
Reward: Medicine1
Since you only have three characters here, this may prove to be your first
difficult battle. How difficult it is also depends on how much time you spent
making money, and therefore the Runes, and weapon levels that you have at this
point.
Depending on how much time you spent getting money, your Hero and Lyon may
have Runes or not. You obtained a free Water Orb from Lunas, which is
hopefully equipped on someone at this point (though not necessary, it does
help.) If this is the case, just cast all of your most powerful magic, be it
level 2 or three. Sialeeds may have "The Shredding" by now, but will probably
only have the MP to cast it once.
The reason I suggest rune magic over physical attacks in this battle is
because of the Assassin's high evasion rate. You may waste a few rounds
whacking away at him physically because he keeps evading you, while rune magic
will hit him, even if he does have a higher than average magical defense. If
you do not have any magic, have Lyon and your Hero stick with their Co-
Op "Sworn Protector." Co-Ops will work as a suitable replacement for a
physical attack.
Heal whenever your HP gets below 70 HP, as the Assassin does around 30 HP
damage per round and tends to attack with great speed (the first each round.)
As long as you are cautious and finish the battle quickly no one should be
severely injured.
***************************************************************
Exit your room and head downstairs (you can't enter the upper level balcony at
this time.) Downstairs, watch a scene, and then head west for another scene.
***************************************************************
Boss: Childerich, Dolph
Rewards: Prosperity Piece1
This battle is not supposed to be won. Don't worry when you get slaughtered.
It is possible to win this battle, though it will be difficult. It will be
easier on your New Game+ run through though.
To win this battle, you'll need the best armor and the highst level of
sharpened weapons for all three characters (5) as well as the Water Rune on
one character. I would also suggest putting a Fire Rune on your Hero. Magic
does not damage the bosses well, but it leaves something of an "aftereffect"
that will do around 50 or more damage a turn, which will be extremely useful.
Keep Sialeeds in the back and Lyon and your Hero in the front, while having
Sialeeds focus on healing both the Hero and Lyon. Healing Wind, while useful,
tends to be a bit slow, so you'll need to equip some Medicine on her. If any
of your characters have any Earth Magic scrolls (to lower damage taken) use
them now, as they will save you. Note that if you're on a New Game+, the Tri
Wind Formation will help considerably here (10 ATK, DEF, and SPD).
Using magic is worthless in this battle. Stick with physical attacks
and "Sworn Protector." Sworn Protector is nice because you do not have to
deal with counterattacks if you miss or get parried.
***************************************************************
Watch a scene. Eventually, you're going to have to choose to run away.
Approach the Queen's Knights room, and watch another scene. Head down the
secret passage, and at the end watch another scene.

Watch a scene. From the East Palace, head directly north to reach Lunas. Watch
another scene. When you regain control, head east over three bridges and enter
the Oracle's Convlave for another scene.
When you regain control, speak with who you wish, and head upstairs to your
room; if you'll remember, it is in the southwestern corner of the screen.
After the set of scenes, you regain control in your room. Head back
downstairs and speak with Haswar for another set of events. Exit Haswar's room
and head west out the far western door. Save if you wish (now is a good time,
since there has not been a save point for a while) and head northeast into the
Lunas North Woods where you first met Lun and Logg.
Follow the path through the North Woods and a scene plays. Continue east, up
the ladders, and down a third ladder. Continue east and exit the forest, where
Isato leaves your party.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Georg, Sialeeds
Shops: Items, Armor, Inn, Trading Post, Appraisal
Items: Boost Piece, Drain Piece, 1,000 Potch, Cross Tactic, Window Set 3,
Power Piece, Wind of Sleep S
Characters: Bastan (Part 1)
Enemies [World Map]: Armadillion, Snail, Hairball, Blade Bunny, Golden Bunny,
Wild Boar
Mini-Boss [World Map]: Red Ulse, Peckles (Power Piece1, Marbles Beef, Leather
Cape, 2,500 Potch, 18 Party SP)
When you regain control on the World Map, head directly southeast and you'll
find Haud Village.
Note: You will find the Red Ulse Mini-Boss in the forests to the west of Haud
village. He drops 1,500 Potch, 20 Party SP, Mega Medicine1, a Violence Piece1,
and a Boost Piece1. Those are some very nice gifts, so I suggest hunting him
out.
Haud is a very ...unique... town. There's a bit to do here before continuing
with the game so I suggest looking all over town before going on with the game.
From the entrance, head all the way south until you hit a wall. Circle around
it, and you'll find a tower. Just south of this tower you will find a chest
which contains a BOOST PIECE. Continue south, and you'll find Josephine, who
shuns you for now. But to the east of her is another chest, this one holds a
Drain Piece. Head back north a bit, and you'll find an intersection (you will
be near a piano-fence.) Head east, and when you can, south. To the far south
is a chest containing a much needed 1,000 POTCH.
From the 1,000 Potch chest, head north until you reach what looks to be the
plaza of this town. From here, continue north and head west when you can.
When you can, go south, and open the chest near the item/armor shop for the
CROSS TACTIC. Now, make your way to the very northeastern corner of town
(which you'll also find the Inn) and open the chest up here for a POWER PIECE.
Head down the stairs near the northeastern corner to reach the Wharf area.
Down on this lower level, you'll find a well hidden chest to the southwest
containing a WINDOW SET 3. Enter the Inn, and you'll find another chest which
holds a WIND OF SLEEP S on the first floor.
Slightly south of the Inn is the Appraisal shop. Watch a short scene in here,
which will help you recruit the Star of Destiny Bastan later on.
After finishing everything in Haud, appraoch the far eastern Gate of the city
and watch a scene. Zegai leaves your party. When you're finished with
everything in Haud, head to the northeastern corner of town, slightly south of
the Inn. You'll find the docks. Here speak with Boz and you will
automatically leave for Rainwall.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Georg, Sialeeds, Boz
Shops: Items, Armor, Inn, Runes, Trading Post, Appraisal, Physical Trainer,
Magical Trainer, Blacksmith (Level 5)
Items: Mega Medicine3, 1,000 Potch, Silk Cape, Prosperity Ring, Magic Absorb
Piece, Wind of Sleep S, Crescent Tactic, Portune Piece
Characters: Alhazred (Part 1), Murad (Part 1), Oboro (Part 1)
The lovely city of Rainwall will be your home for the next couple of hours in
the game.
When you gain control, you are given the freedom to explore before being taken
to Barow's mansion. Like in Haud, there's quite a bit to do here.
Head up the two ramps into the main town. Head immediately east, over the
small pathway and you'll eventually come to a chest containing MEGA
MEDICINE3. Go back to the Save point. Head west, and you'll find a chest
containing 1,000 POCTH. Head up the first stairway to reach the central level
of town. Up here, head west around the Inn, down the slope, and enter the
house at the far end. Open the chest in this house for a SILK CAPE. Head back
to the central area, and enter the Inn. On the upper level of the Inn you'll
find a chest, which holds a PROSPERITY RING. You should equip this item
immediately to raise the amount of Potch you recieve after battle.
Exit the Inn and head back to the fountain. Head across the screen and all
the way east. you'll find a chest at the very far east of the screen
containing a MAGIC ABSORB PIECE. Go back to the fountain. Head up the large
stairs to the next level. On the next screen, head west Immediately to find
the Trading Post. As you approach it, watch a scene. This is quite
important, because if you miss this scene, you WILL miss the Star of Destiny
Alhazred. After the scene, head east and between the two buildings. You'll
find the Blacksmith's to the north. Continue east and enter the large house.
In here, head upstairs, and you'll find two chests. These contain a WIND OF
SLEEP S and the CRESCENT TACTIC. Exit the house and head back to the main
plaza of this level. Head over to the Trading post again, and just north of
it you'll find the Physical and Magical Tutors. To the west of this you'll
find another chest; this one holds a rare FORTUNE PIECE.
After you've gotten all of these items, head up the large set of stairs to the
next level. Approach the Barows Mansion and a scene plays out. When you gain
control, head north up the stairs and another scene plays.
Note: Chuck stores your items for you. Since there is a limit to how many
items you can carry in this game, it is best to story items that you do not
expect to use any time soon. For example, Old Books or Bath items that you
may have at the moment.
Upstairs, there are four room. The two top rooms are empty at the moment, and
Luserina will not allow you into the southwestern room. That means that your
room is in the southeast. Enter and watch another set of scenes. Head
downstairs and watch another scene. I suggest delaying the battle for a moment
and going to save your game in town. When you're ready talk to Salum and tell
him to start.
***************************************************************
War Battle 1 -The Defense of Rainwall-
Rewards: (Victory+) 5,000 Potch, Hungry Wolf Tactic
Battle Goal: Destroy all enemies.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed.
Foes: Infantry x2(100 HP), Archer (100 HP)
Note: Try to reduce casualties in War Battles as much as possible. It will
affect your recruitment of a character later on as well as how much Potch you
recieve after the battle ends.
The game gives you very basic units in this battle. With Sialeeds, you have a
Rune Archer, with Boz you have a Spearman, and with your Hero/Leon you have an
Infantry. You will also have two NPC Infantry to control as well.
This War game, like the Duels, are a rock-paper-scissors. The Infantry Units
deal more damage to Archer types, but are weak towards Calvary (there are no
Calvary in this battle.) The Archer Types are strong versus Calvalry but weak
versus Infantry. Calvary Units are strong versus Infantry, but weak versus
Archery.
Also, remember to note each special skill. In this battle, Hero/Lyon has 3
Charges. Charge allows you to damage the enemy without damaging yourself.
This is an extremely useful ability. Sialeeds has Cyclone, which is much the
same as Charge, except that it is magic. Remember to use these skills, but
also remember that you have them limited in number.
The battle goal here is rather simple: destroy all foes. You must also not
allow your Heroes group to be destroyed, but because he has the ability to use
Charge three times, this is unlikely. Also, try to exploit your enemies
weakness, while not allowing them to exploit yours. Its not too smart to have
your Archers run at the Infantry because they are weak towards ground battles.
Since this is pretty much a brawl, with the enemies immediately charging at
you, and you charging at the enemies, you need to be cautious. Send two
Infantry at the Archers, and they will take them down quickly. Attacking the
other Infantry is tricky. Use the special skill "Charge" with Boz and the
Hero/Lyon to reduce the amount of damage that you take. Also, Sialeeds can use
her Wind Rune to deal damage without taking it as well, so that will be
effective against the Infantry.
As long as you use all of the special skills you have at your disposal, the
battle will be over quickly. this is more of a tutorial War Battle than
anything else.
***************************************************************
After the battle, watch a scene. Head downstairs and speak with Salum again.
At this point, we can recruit our first Stars of Destiny!
Note: Stars of Destiny in Suikoden V are VERY time based. If you ask them
after their specific time frame for joining, they will NEVER join. So it is
important that if you are interested in recruiting characters, you get them
when you absolutely have the first chance. Also, whenever you visit a town,
it is important to explore the town carefully before continuing. I will guide
you through obtaining every Star of Destiny in this Walkthrough, but you may
miss one if you did not follow the Steps in the "Character" part (such as
meeting Jeane in Falena after Stormfist) of each area.
Note: Before leaving Rainwall, speak with Murad and ask him to join you. This
is one of the steps needed to recruit him later. Choose "We request your
assistance." He will not join you yet.
Another Note: Boz's ship has left the port, and has been replaced with the
Oboro Detective Agency. You may want to go visit for a cutscene to help
recruit Oboro later.

Recruitment
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Required Party: Hero, Lyon
Enemies: Horohoro, Wild Boar, Peckles, Wizard Tree, Red Ulse, Purple Creeper,
Large Spider, Holly Boy, Holly Elf
Mini-Boss [Rainwall]: Gray Ulse (Mega Medicine1, Violence Piece, Boost Piece
4400 Potch, 25 SP)
There are two characters we can get at this point, as well as two non-stars.
Since this is our first Recruitment, I have separated this into a new
section. if you don't care about the Stars of Destiny, feel free to skip
ahead to Raftfleet. We will be going there anyway for one of the characters.
First, we need to head to Haud Village; that is, the gaudy village with bad
music. It's quite the walk from Rainwall. Follow the Feitas River north of
Rainwall. The enemies are rather nasty with only the Hero and Lyon, so don't
be afraid to run.
--------------------------------
Character: Cornelio
Location: Haud Village
Prerequesite: None
Time to Recruit: After the Defense of Rainwall
How to Recruit:
Head to Haud Village and enter the large mansion to the southeast. A battle
with ReMiFa, MiFaSo, FaSoLa, SoLaTi, and LaTiDo starts. After winning the
battle, choose either option, and you must help Cornelio now. He temporarily
joins your party.
Now, you need to run around Haud village trying to catch the DoReMi elf. In
this battle, defend with your Hero and Lyon while Cornelio uses his DoReMi
Rune.
After doing this, ReMiFa and Cornelio join you.
Also note that you should not wait to long to recruit Cornelio, as he will
leave his house soon after thise first events and not come back. He is a
missable character.
--------------------------------
Note: ReMiFa and all other DoReMi elves are not Stars of Destiny, rather, they
are just fun little optional characters.
--------------------------------
Character: FaSoLa
Location: In a random encounter in the forest to the southeast of Rainwall.
Prerequesite: Must have Cornelio in party.
Time to Recruit: After the Defense of Rainwall
How to Recruit:
With Cornelio in your party, run around the forest to the very far southeast
of Rainwall. I found him in one tree closest to the river. Have your other
characters in the battle defend while Cornelio uses his DoReMi Rune. This
will recruit the little green bugger.
--------------------------------
The last character you can get at this point is in Raftfleet. From Rainwall,
Raftfleet is to the southwest, on the river.
--------------------------------
Character: Sairoh
Location: Raftfleet, Inside the Trading Post
Prequesite: None
Time to Recruit: After the Defense of Rainwall
How to Recruit:
Sairoh is a hard character to get, if not the most annoying in the game.
First, you need to get him to ask you to lower the price of Salt. This can be
a pain as it is. The first chance he will do this is after you have defended
Raftfleet.
To get him to ask you to lower the price of salt, you'll have to wait until
the game RANDOMLY raises the salt price in the first place. There is no way
to control this, though you may want to try to buy all the salt out of
multiple locations and then sell it back a few times to try and influence it a
bit.
After Sairoh has asked you, you need to buy at least 6 Salts, and then wait
until the "Price of Salt has skyrocketed!" when checking the rumors in the
Trade shops. Then, sell all the salt that you have (5 or 6, to be safe) to
that shop to lower the price. Head back to Sairoh and he will join you.
Note: Sairoh is not missable, so you can recruit him throughout the game.

From Rainwall, Raftfleet is to the southwest, along the Feitas river. Once
you've reached Raftfleet, head to the large ship, the Dahak, where you
originally met Raja. If you're having trouble finding it, just follow the
signs.
Raja remains on the top floor, up the three sets of stairs. When you approach
her, watch a scene. Exit the Dahak, and a scene plays. Now you will have
access to a boat. To get to this boat, head back into the room with the
intersection (in the main town of Raftfleet) and take the north exit. Head
northeast, and you'll find Logg and Lun, where a scene plays. Speak with Logg,
and tell him that you want to go to Lordlake.
Note: Before leaving, you may want to go to the Blacksmith's and get your
weapons sharpened to level 7.
Watch another scene.

Characters: None
Finding Lordlake is quite difficult. From the Wharf, head south, following the
river. It's a long path, with quite a few random encounters. You'll
eventually pass one building that you can not enter. Ignore it, and continue
south. Once you reach the dead forest, keep circling around the lake, and
you'll find the town of Lordlake.
Not much has changed here since your first visit in the opening movie. As you
enter, speak with Talgeyl, who will act as a representative. After the scene,
you have the freedom to look around Lordlake. There's not a whole lot new
going on, so leave after you've spoken with everyone.
Note: Portions of Lordlake are still blocked off. You will be unable to reach
them until later in the game.
Follow the Feitas back up north to the Wharf and ride back to Raftfleet. After
you're finished with your business in Raftfleet, exit. Head northeast, and go
back to Rainwall.

When you return to Rainwall, head all the way up north into the Barows
mansion. Speak with Salum. Head upstairs and enter your room for another
scene (though if you want, you can speak with Euram in his room for a rather
interesting conversation.) After the conversation in your room, exit Rainwall.
Walk southwest over to Raftfleet.
Note: If you had Cornelio in your party before, he'll be gone now.
Luserina is in her room at this point, so if you want to add him (or any Elves
you have collected) speak with her twice. This will give you the option to
change party members.

Characters: None
Head east, and open the two chests near the beaver for a RESURRECTION PC and a
TURTLE ORB. Head into the mines to the north.
At the entrance, follow the path until you reach the intersection. Here,
ignore the north path and head east. At the next intersection, head north and
push (press X at) the mine cart. This clears the path. Continue north, and
at the next intersection head northeast. Follow this path until you reach
another intersection. Head north here and open the chest for some MARTIAL
ARTS GARB. Head back to the intersection and head east. Continue along this
path until you reach a save point.
From the Save point, continue north and open the chest for a SOUND SET 4.
Follow this path until you reach another mine cart, which you should push.
This clears the path. Follow the path down the slope, and head east at the
intersection. Open the chest here for a MOTHER EARTH PC. Head back to the
intersection and head west. Follow this path until you reach an intersection.
Head south, and then west at the next. Follow this and you'll reach the Dwarf
Camp.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Logg, Lun

Items: 1,000 Potch, Skullcap
Characters: None
After the scenes, you are given control. This is a nice place to spend the
night to regain any MP or HP that is lost. There is a chest in the far
northeast of the small town, which contains 1,000 POTCH. Also, in the
Appraisal shop, you'll find another chest that the Dwarves are very willing to
part with. it holds a SKULLCAP.
When you're done in here, head up the ladder at the northwestern side of the
town. Try to exit, and watch a scene. Gunde joins your party.

Characters: Egbert (After Agate Prison)
Rather than a new area, this is just an extrension of the previous Baska
mines. The enemies are the same as well. There is an area right after this,
so be sure not to use too much MP throughout.
Follow the path until you reach the first intersection. Ignore the
northeastern path, and head up the northwestern. Follow this path up to the
inbtersection, and keep heading north. Soon, you will reach a large, open
area. Once you reach the open area, head west and follow the path north. At
the intersection, head east and follow this path until you reach yet another
intersection. Here, continue north and follow this north past the
intersection. Continue all the way north to what seems to be a dead end, and
a scene plays. Gunde leaves your party.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Logg, Lun
Suggested Level: 21
Enemies: Prison Guard (Sword), Prison Guard (Bow), Zombie Snail
Items: Military Uniform, Guard Ring
Characters: Lucretia, Lelei, Cius
When you gain control, save your game, head through the door, and head up the
stairs into the prison.
The prison itself is not large, only a few screens. Head south into the cells,
and watch a scene. Head south through the screen and into the nect room.
Note: In this area, you will see a man in red standing behind the prison
bars. He will not say anything to you, even if you speak with him, so ignore
him for now. There's nothing you can do about it.
In this room, open the chest and you'll obtain a MILITARY UNIFORM that has a
nice defense stat. Exit to the east. Continue east, ignoring the door to the
wharf, and into another small room. In here, open another chest, this one
contains a GUARD RING. Exit to the north, and follow the path to the north
until a scene plays.
***************************************************************
Boss: Prison Guard (Sword) x3, Prison Guard (Bow)
Reward: Fire Orb, Shield Orb
This battle may be quite nasty. Two things to note: The two prison Guards on
the side (they both have swords, one is a brunette and the other is the blonde
from the cutscene) are extremely difficult to attack physically. They are the
actual "bosses" here, while the other two are just the normal enemies from the
section.
What I suggest is having characters with no Rune Magic attack the two Guards
in the back and kill them, since attacking the two Guards in the front is
extremely dangerous. Then, attack one of the two guards in the front with
Rune Magic (such as single target spells, or range Fire spells fron Lun.)
Any Rune Magic that hits all, or multiple, enemies works extremely well in
this battle. This will allow you to take down multiple enemies per round, and
with certain spells, do damage over time with the added effect (like with Ice
or Fire.) It is not necessary to win, but any little bit helps.
I recommend keeping everyone at full health at all times. The Guards are all
extremely fast, and at least two of them will attack before your own
characters. This way, even if your characters are slow, then you will not die
to the enemy's attacks. This is rather touchy, especially in this battle, so
be careful! Caution will prevail.
***************************************************************
Watch a scene. Lucretia, Cius, and Lelei join your party as Stars of Destiny.
Now it is time to exit the prison. Head south down the screen, and then west
through the small room. Exit south to the Wharf and watch a scene.

Shops: Trading Post, Inn, Appraisal, Rune, Physical Training, Magical
Training, Blacksmith (Level 7)
Characters: Raja, Kisara, Shinro
As you arrive, you are told to go to the Dahak immediately. You may want to
Sharpen your new party members' weapons first though, since this is the first
chance you have.
Once on the Dahak, head immediately into Raja's room, where a scene plays.
When you choose to aid Raftfleet, the war battle begins.
***************************************************************
War Battle 2 -Intercepting Lugor's Fleet-
Rewards: (Victory+) 6,000 Potch, Luck Ring
Battle Goal: Halve Brahm's ship's HP or neutralize all others.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed or the Dahak is destroyed.
Foes: Ram (HP: 150), ComShip x2 (HP: 150) ArchShip x2 (HP: 150), Bahram (HP:
200)
This time, you have quite a bit more characters to control. Ship battles work
much the same as the ground battles, and you should treat them as such.
Remember to not let your weakness be exploited, and always exploit the enemies
weakness.
In this battle, you have control of 7 ships, including the large Dahak. The
enemy also has quite a few ships, but after a few seconds of approaching you,
a few ships will sink, and Braham's fleet will be effectively halved. This
makes the battle considerably easier for you.
There are two goals in this battle. One is two halve the HP of Bahram, the
second is to kill every ship other than Bahram. While killing Bahram is the
easier choice, you should also note that you will get some rare items, such as
a Flowing Piece, from the other ships when killed. You will also sustain more
casualties when fighting more enemies.
One thing to note is that Boz will do the most damage to Bahram. Since he is
your only Ram at this point, he should continually charge at Bahram. Boz will
also remain useful when taking on most of the other ships as well, so make
sure to use him effectively. I also highly suggest being careful with your
ComShips in this battle, as they will almost be detrimental because there is
nothing that they are strong against here.
***************************************************************
Watch a scene. Raja and Kiara join you as Stars of Destiny. Before you leave
Raftfleet though, there is a character you can recruit as a Star of Destiny.
--------------------------------
Character: Shinro
Location: Raftfleet, in the Item Shop
Prequesite: None
Time to Recruit: After defending Raftfleet
How to Recruit:
After winning the battle for Raftfleet, head into the Item Shop in Raftfleet.
In there, speak with the merchant. Shinro joins you without even asking.
--------------------------------
After recruiting Shinro, exit Raftfleet and you're brought back to Rainwall.
Note: At this point there is a very large glitch in the game. If you stay
the night at the Inn at Raftfleet, you can keep doing the battle for Raftfleet
over and over again by going back to the Dahak. This is an easy way to pick up
a Flowing Rune if you are willing to do it 4 times in a row (by getting 4
Flowing Pieces), but other than that, there's not a whole lot of good things
to say about it.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Kisara, Lelei, Cius, Lucretia
Shops: Items, Armor, Inn, Runes, Trading Post, Appraisal, Physical Trainer,
Magical Trainer, Blacksmith (Level 5)
Characters: Oboro (Part 1)
In Rainwall, immediately head up to the Barows mansion. Watch the scenes and
head upstairs to your room. After the scenes, exit the room, and head
downstairs.
Note: You have the option to change party members at this point. Just speak
with Luserenia and she will allow you to change the members. For the sake of
recruitment, keep Lelei (or Cius) in your party as well as Sialeeds; we are
going to using both of them to recruit some characters in a few moments.Also,
you have access to Lun and Logg, though they never officially joined as Stars,
they are there (and they ARE Stars.)
Oboro's ship is in the port of Rainwall. The port is on the lower screen, at
the far southeast. If you have not spoke to the people inside, Oboro will not
be there yet, so you'll need to exit and re-enter. If you have, Oboro will
have finally come back from his investigation. After the short scene with
Oboro, he will accept your proposal.
VERY IMPORTANT: To recruit Oboro, you need to do some side work at this
point. Note that you need to be careful with your answers during this scene,
else you may not be able to recruit him immediately (and will be forced to
speak with him 5 times). Head to the Inn after the cutscene is over, and speak
with the "Drunk" at the counter. Speak with him a few times, and then leave
the Inn. Watch a scene out here. Choose "I'll go too!" and follow the man
towards where Oboro's ship is. Watch a scene here. Choose "I want to see how
this unfolds." Now head back north up the stairs and watch another scene.
Continue up the next set of stairs, and up to the eastern side of the Barows
mansion where another scene plays. Choose "So that man is in the mansion?"
(this is important for recruitment!). Now head back to Oboro's ship.
Choose "I've come this far! I can't leave!" and the Prince changes clothes.
Head back to the Inn, and speak with Nordon again. Head back, once again, to
Oboro's ship. Then choose "Shall we take him. . .there?" You are
automatically brought to the Wharf, so you'll need to walk down the Feitas to
Lordlake. After the scene, walk back up to the wharf. Here, you're forced into
a battle with 6 Barows Soldiers. This is pretty much a normal random battle
thats staged so that it is a bit harder than normal. You return back to
Raftfleet (not Rainwall.)
Now, there are a few more characters we can get at this point.

Before heading back to speak with Lucretia, there are a few new characters
that we can get at this point! Bring Sialeeds and Lelei/Cius with you when
going after these characters or you will not be able to get them!
IMPORTANT: In Raftfleet, you'll find Murad again. Speak with him and ask him
to join. Once again he will decline, but this will also trigger the later
event that will allow him to join you. So make sure that you speak with him!
--------------------------------
Character: Egbert
Location: Baska Mines (Part 2)
Prequesite: None
Time to Recruit: After defending Raftfleet
How to Recruit:
Before attempting to get this character, it is a good idea to save. In the
darkest depths of the Baska Mines will you find our good friend, Egbert. In
this scene, you must not press the X button until the little button apeears at
the bottom right corner of the text box. Even if your text is set to instant,
the text will not immediately appear during this conversation. It is extremely
long and boring, but you will get a character out of it if you do not press
X. If you do press X, Egbert will not join, so it is best to put the
controller down during this scene.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Takamu
Location: Agate Prison
Prequesite: Must have Lelei or Cius in your party.
Time to Recruit: After defending Raftfleet
How to Recruit:
Head back to Agate Prison with Cius or Lelei in your party, and you will find
a man in the cells. Choose "Please come with me!" and Takamu will temporarily
join your party. Head north through the door, and down the stairs (as if you
were going back to the mines.) Watch the short scene, and examine the crates
and you'll recieve the extremely useful Map of Falena. Takamu then joins you.
--------------------------------
Note: Once you recruit Takamu there is a hidden path in the first part of the
Baska mines that makes it easier to get from the entrance to the Dwarf
Village. You'll also find the PROSPERITY ARMBAND down this path.
--------------------------------
Character: Josephine
Location: Haud Village
Prequesite: Sialeeds in your party
Time to Recruit: After defending Raftfleet
How to Recruit:
Since the hero had "ugly" (travelling) clothes on the first time you were in
Haud, Josephine shunned you. But when you have your "Prince" clothes on, and
have Sialeeds in your party, she will finally give you some respect. Tell
her "I guess it's all right." and she will join you.
Josephine is a missable character.

Magical Trainer, Blacksmith (Level 5)
Characters: Kyle, Chuck
After obtaining all available characters at this point, it's time to go speak
with Lucretia. Before you can though, a familiar face shows up. Kyle finally
joins you as a Star of Destiny.
After the scene, head upstairs to your room and go to sleep. During the night,
a scene plays. In this scene, YOU MUST SAY NO THREE TIMES!! If you do not,
the game will prematurely end and give you a "Bad Ending." To be more
specific, you should answer:
"I'll pretend I didn't hear that."
"I'd be betraying Falena."
"I'm not fighting to become King."
When you awaken the next morning, exit your room and Lyon joins you. Head
downstairs, and speak with Lucretia, then Barows twice, then Lucretia again.
After doing this, Lucretia tells you to go to your room when ready. In your
room, watch another scene.
When you regain control, head back downstairs. Watch a scene. Before starting
the War Battle, I highly suggest saving your game. When ready, the battle
begins.
***************************************************************
War Battle 3 -Rainwall Defense Campaign Part 2-
Rewards: None
Battle Goal: Draw the Enemies in the Southern Forest.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed.
Foes: Archer (HP: 100), Infantry (HP: 100), Calvalry (HP: 100), Dilber (HP:
100)
Unlike the previous battles, the goal here is not to approach your enemies at
all. You need to head south down into the forest. After a few seconds of all
of your troops "fleeing" into the forest, Dilber will comment that you are
fleeing. This shows that you are doing the right thing. Once your entire
army is in the forest, starts heading west. It's somewhat hard to see, but
you can head west under the mountains.
Once you reach the point under the mountains, a scene plays. At this point,
STOP! Don't go any further. This portion of the battle is over, and you have
won.
***************************************************************
War Battle 4 -Rainwall Defense Campaign Part 3-
Rewards: (Victory+) 8000 Potch, Guardian Boots
Battle Goal: Halve Jidan's force's HP or destroy all other units.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed.
Foes: Calvary x3 (HP: 200), Jidan (HP: 300)
You have an ally in Dilbert now. At Lucretia's suggestion, DO NOT MOVE YOUR
ARMY! Leave them where they are, and let your allies do all the dirty work.
This will save you casualties. If you find your allies slaughtered, then and
only then should you go into the battle. The deaths of your allies do not
count against you in both your total score, and for recruiting a certain
character.
To win this battle, you need to either halve the HP of Jidan (Archers work
best, so you can use Rune Mages from your party, if you're willing to risk
it...Josephine and Sialeeds in a party together will give you three spells to
work with) or kill everyone else. Killing everyone else will give you more
rewards (such as a Lancer Armor) than just going after Jidan, but it will
also be quite a bit harder.
Since the Calvary in Dilber's army will get literally slaughtered by Jidan,
you may need to have one person act as a decoy while everyone else, hopefully,
is able to run at Jidan himself. If you do choose to bring your own army into
it, make sure that you don't send just one party in alone, make sure that they
have backup. You don't want unneccesary casualties.
The battle ends with either half of Jidan's HP gone (easiest done with Rune
Magic) or taking everyone else but Jidan out.
***************************************************************
Watch a scene. Head into the Storeroom where Chuck usually resides.
Unfortunately, there is no time to save at this point before the duel.
---------------------------------------
Duel 2: The Dawn Rune - Hero vs Chuck
Attack: That was nothing, but you're really gonna get it now!
Attack: I'm really gonna pound you, so get ready!
Special: This one's for the young lady!
Special: No Way!! You haven't seen the last of my strength yet!
Defense: I don't like picking on the weak.
Defense: I...I need a little break here...
Defense: N-not bad prince...not bad at all...
Chuck tends to use a balance of attacks and defense, and it is also quite
difficult to predict what he is going to do sometimes, as his more ferocious
quotes are actually for his normal attacks. Fortunately, he does not have a
wide variety of quotes so you'll learn his moves quickly.
---------------------------------------
Head downstairs, and approach the wardrobe for a scene. Head back upstairs
and into the main hall for another scene. Chuck joins your party as a Star of
Destiny.
After the scene, exit Rainwall, but make sure everything has been done, since
you will not be coming back for some time. As you exit, you'll meet Wilhelm
and Mueller. Head to Raftfleet to the southwest.

Shops: Trading Post, Inn, Appraisal, Rune, Physical Training, Magical
Training, Blacksmith (Level 7)
Characters: Oboro, Fuyo, Shigure
Note: After the previous events, there is another set of recruitments that we
can go on, but let's go over the first story events in Raftfleet first.
Head into the Dahak and speak with Raja in her room. Choose "Let's save
Lordlake!" during the scene. After the scene, Raftfleet becomes your temporary
Headquarters, much like Rainwall was. Note that Raftfleet moves down to
another Wharf at this point, but you can always head back up to the northern
wharf through Logg and Lun's boat.
After the scene, go downstairs and speak with Luserina. Pick out your party.
Now we can either go recruiting at this point, or head straight out to
Lordlake. This guide will follow the recruitment path (and just name the
characters right here) but if you aren't interested in characters, just skip
ahead to Lordlake.
First, you should head into the new boat that's at Raftfleet though; you'll
find that it is Oboro's ship. In here, you'll view a cutscene. As you exit
Raftfleet, another scene plays out as well. Rahal and Roog, unfortunately,
will not join your party at this point.
--------------------------------
Character: Oboro
Location: Raftfleet
Prerequisite: Have to have gone through the Investigation in Rainwall
Time to Recruit: After obtaining the Dawn Rune, before the Queen's Campaign
How to Recruit:
Oboro can be recruited in two different manners. One is that if you finish
the Investigation event with him in Rainwall (when Lucretia asks you to
investigate Barows, you speak with him after and go through with the entire
event. This event takes about 20 mintues to complete.) If you do this, Oboro
will join you immediately when you ask him in Raftfleet. However, if you did
not assist Oboro, you will need to ask him a total of 5 times to get him to
join your party. Not every time you speak with him will he give the option to
ask him, you will need to have recruited party members in the meantime.
Oboro IS a missable character, as his ship will leave Raftfleet and not return
after the Queen's Campaign. If you have not asked him to join 5 times before
this, then you will NEVER obtain him and the characters he comes with.
--------------------------------
Fuyo and Shigure join along with Oboro.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Zegai
Location: Lunas Village
Prerequisite: Have to have recruited Takamu, and have him in your current party
Time to Recruit: After obtaining the Dawn Rune
How to Recruit:
Enter Lunas (go to Haud Village and head northwest) from the North Tail with
Takamu in your party and he will open the path for you. Head north towards
where you originally met Logg and Lun (heading towards Lunas is useless).
After a short scene, Urda joins you. Head across the path to the west and
enter Lunas.
In Lunas, head into the Oracle's Conclave and speak with Isato. After the
scene, head upstairs and into the room Georg once inhabited to speak with
Isato again. Ask him to join you and he will not. Unfortunately, Haswar is
not here at the moment so you can not do anything.
Now, exit back to the World Map, and Ura leaves your party. Head back into the
Woods immediately, and head north once again to where you met Urda the first
time. Follow the path past Urda to the very top and you'll find your old
friend Zegai. Choose "I'm glad to see you, too." and then "Could I ask for
your help again?" and he will join your party as a Star of Destiny.
--------------------------------
Note: The 6 guard battle outside of Lunas is a nice way to make money early
on. You can fight it over and over again, and they give you around 3,000
Potch total each time, which will add up quickly.
--------------------------------
Character: Nordon
Location: Raftfleet/Lordlake
Prerequisite: Have done the Oboro Investigation [Raftfleet], None [Lordlake]
Time to Recruit: After the Dawn Rune Events/After Obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
If you have done the investigation events with Oboro, you will find Nordon in
the Raftfleet Inn, in the room to the north of the Innkeeper (it is hard to
see if you do not press against the wall.) Speak with him and ask him to join,
and he will.
If you want to wait until later, you will find him in Lordlake, where he will
join you when you ask him.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Sorensen
Location: Estrise
Prerequisite: Need to have the scene in Babbage's Workshop
Time to Recruit: After the Dawn Rune Events
How to Recruit:
In Babbage's Workshop at Estrise, speak with Sorenson. Now, head over to the
Revolving Bridge (northwest of Rainwall) and speak with the Guard. Head back
to Estrise and speak with Sorensen again. Tell him "We want to stop the
Revolving Bridge." and watch the scene. Now Sorensen and Babbage join you
temporarily. Exit, and let Lu come with you (she's recruitable later.) She
will join your party as well. Babbage tells you to get a boat, so go back to
Raftfleet (or your Headquarters) and speak with Logg. Have him take you to
the Revolving Bridge (which is now selectable.)A battle starts soon after.
This is not a boss battle, but it is a staged battle with four Mechanical
soldiers.
Follow the path all the way west and open the chest for the ARMOR OF THE GODS
EPIC (which may or may not be your first Epic skill, depending on where you
are in the game). Head upstairs. On this next floor, first go up the eastern
stairs to find a chest containing a LIGHTNING RING. Go back downstairs, and
head up the western path to find an EQUILIBRIUM PIECE. Continue upstairs for
the SOUND SET 3. Head through the eastern door, and you'll find a boss.
***************************************************************
Boss: Differential Gear
Rewards: Steel Piece1, 18,000 Potch, 50 Party SP
The Differential Gear is another slow Boss that will attack last. He has low
magic defense and average physical defense. If you are fighting him early in
the game, however, you may find him somewhat challenging. He will have higher
physical defense than normal, so I suggest sticking with strong magical
attacks rather than physical attacks.
Having a nice strong tank out in front will help you lower damage, but the
Differential Gear does have a line type attack that will help multiple
characters. if you have mages in back, this can be dangerous, so having an
Earth Rune will help considerably.
Since this is not meant the be an extremely challenging battle, I suggest
starting off with casting a defensive Earth spell (Clay Guardian) and then
focusing on magical attacks, such a strong Thunder spells or magic from the
Dawn Rune. Any strong physical runes you might have will work fine as well.
The difficulty and length of this battle depends on the point of the game you
are at. Expect it to take a much longer time when you first are able to do it
then after you obtain your Headquarters.
***************************************************************
Continue east through the door and watch a scene. Now, head back to Estrise.
Enter Babbage's workshop again for a scene. Now, speak with Babbage (not
Sorensen) and ask him to join you. He sends Sorensen in his place.

As you enter for the third time, speak with Talgeyl again. He joins your party
temporarily. head south down to the fountain, and speak with Goesch. Then,
enter the clinic where Dr. Silva is usually and watch a scene. Exit the
clinic, and watch another scene. Allow Toma to come along with you.
After this scene, head back up to Raftfleet the same way you came down. Enter
the Dahak, and speak with Raja and Lucretia on the top level. After the scene,
you are told to go to Beaver Lodge, which is south of Yashuna Village. If
Yashuna is not coming up on Logg's ship screen, speak with Raja again.
Note: There is an option area you may want to visit at this point of the
game. There's not a whole lot new to do here, other than pick up items, but
it's good for knowing where it is later.

Enemies [World Map]: Wizard Tree, Dark Bunny, Wild Boar, Peckles
Mini-Boss: Siren (Mega Medicine1, Sleep Orb, Flowing Sword Orb)
Shops: Appraisal, Rune, Item, Inn, Armor, Trading Post, Physical Training,
Magical Training, Blacksmith (Level 7)
Items: Mega Medicine3, Silence Orb, Rage Piece, Cyclone Piece, True Men Tactic
Characters: Sorensen (if you didn't get earlier)
Estrise is an optional area at this point. If you are not interested in
optional areas, ignore this section and head right over to Yashuna.
To get to Eastrise, take a ship to the "East Wharf" and head over to
Rainwall. Though you can not enter Rainwall, you can head east of it. Follow
the road east and eventually southeast, and you'll run into Eastrise.
From the entrance of Eastrise, head west and over to the Inn. before entering
the Inn though, head south and up the stairs. Enter the door here. There is a
chest in here that contains a MEGA MEDICINE3. Exit the house, and head over to
the Rune Shop. Continue north, circling to the right of the stairs. Over
here us a hole in the wall, which will allow you access to the chest to the
west. Open the chest to obtain a SILENCE ORB.
Head to the eastern side of town, and you'll find the path to the Windmills.
Over here you'll find a chest containing a RAGE PIECE. The last item you'll
find in Estrise is on the docks, which is at the far north end of town. Up
here, open the chest to the east and you'll obtain a CYCLONE PIECE.
For the last item, head back to the fountain and head east, where you'll find
the Armor Shop, as well as the Physical and Magical Training. There a chest
just south of here that contains the TRUE MEN TACTIC.
Note: At the very, very southeastern corner of town you'll find Babbage's
Workshop. If you didn't recruit Sorensen earlier, now is a good time to do so.
Another Note: Finding and fighting off the Siren Mini-Boss around Estrise at
this point is extremely beneficial. The Flowing Sword Orb that she drops is a
rare item as well, though you can buy them from the Dwarf Camp. Still, its
worth it to fight her just for that.

Shops: Appraisal, Armor, Item, Trade, Runes, Inn
Items: ArrowStance Tactic, Prosperity Sandals, Mother Earth Piece, Cyclone
Piece
Characters: Miroon (Part 1)
We'll need a boat to get to Yashuna, so speak with Logg in Raftfleet (he's at
the same place he always is) and ask him to take you to Yashuna village. If
Yashuna is not coming up on your selections, go speak with Raja.
Once you arrive at Yashuna Village, you'll notice immediately that the shops
are all right at the start. Also, there is a chest directly to the south of
where you begin that contains the ARROWSTANCE TACTIC. Continue east up the
stairs, and you'll find the first Inn. Keep continuing all the way east and
you'll eventually hit the eastern wall of the village. Here, open the chest
to the north for some PROSPERITY SANDALS.
Note: In the Inn near the Prosperity Sandals you will find Miroon. Speak with
her (she's downstairs) and watch a short scene.
From the Sandals, head back west up the stairs, and head south down the second
set. Down here, enter the house to the far west and you'll find a chest
containing a MOTHER EARTH PIECE. Also, the house to the far east contains a
chest that holds a rare CYCLONE PIECE.
The exit to the town is at the far south by the save point. When you feel
ready, exit.

To reach the mountain path, follow the road southeast from Yashuna Village.
The Mountain Path is a long path that is filled with twists and turns, but no
intersections. So if you follow it, you will eventually reach the end. There
is no boss, but the enemies will probably be quite nasty for you at this point.
Note: If you have Cornelio in your party, you can recruit SoLaTi in this
dungeon. Just defend with everyone and have Cornelio recruit him. Make sure
you have one free space, or you will be unable to get SoLaTi.

Ceras Lake Ruins

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Toma, Maroon
Suggested Level: 25
Enemies: Ghost Shield, Embryo, Skeleton, Zombie
Boss: Diamond Sun x2
Mini-Boss [World Map]: Furball (Mega Medicine1, Sunbeam Piece1, Silence Orb,
4900 Potch, 30 Party SP)
Items: Guardian Scarf, Robe of Destiny, Old Book 2, Window Set 2, Tiger
Tactic, Basic Magic
Characters: Viki
To get to Ceras Lake from Beaver Lodge, you must head back through the
Mountain Path to Yashuna Village. I suggest going to spend the night at
Yashuna to recover any lost HP and MP before continuing.
From Yashuna Village, head southwest around the mountain range. Eventually,
you'll come across a large lake, which is Ceras Lake. Follow the lake until
you find the Ceras Lake Ruins.
As you enter, watch a scene. Save your game, and speak with the man outside
the ruins. Watch a scene. Enter the ruins (a familiar song will be
playing...) and approach the door. Watch another scene. You are forced into a
Duel with Lorelai
---------------------------------------
Duel 3: Testing - Lorelai vs Hero
Attack: Hmm...I guess I'll just warm up a little first...
Attack: You still standing? I'll hit you with another one then!
Attack: I'm still fine, I can still fight!
Special: What do you think you have to hold back or something? Don't insult me!
Special: I guess I'll settle this thing right here and now!
Special: Don't let that swell your head, I'm only just getting started!
Special: Not bad, but wait 'til you feel this!
Defense: Ugh you're stronger than I thought!
Defense: You underestimate me. . . When are we really gonna get serious?
Defense: What did you do, give up? You gotta come at me to!
Defense: Hey, aren't you a little too far away? Come at me!
Defense: So you handeled my best move, huh? Guess I underestimated you. . .
Lorelai has a huge range of attacks (more than pretty much any dueller in the
game), and they are hard to predict at times. Lorelai sounds like she is
going to attack with she is actually defending (or vice versa) at times as
well, so you need to be careful. Though, a lot of the time you can win this
battle by defending alone because she does a lot of Specials.
---------------------------------------
After the battle allow Lorelai to join your party (she will be useful in this
dungeon with her Lightning rune.)
Note: If you plan on using either Lorelai or Zweig in this dungeon, it is a
good idea to head back to Raftfleet and get their weapons sharpened, since
they start at level 1.
This area is quite nasty, so you had better be prepared. There are random
encounters about every 5 steps (no joke) and some enemies are just there to
harass you. After the openeing scene, you will find all of the doors blocked
but the western door, so head right through it.
Note: You will encounter Embryos in this dungeon. These enemies are pains as
they will attack you and then run away. They don't drop anything too good, so
if you encounter them, it may be worth it to just run.
Follow the path west until you reach the intersection. Head north and follow
the northern path until you reach another intersection, in which you should go
north. Step on the floor switch here. After a short scene, head back to the
intersection and continue west. Open the chest in this room for a GUARDIAN
SCARF. After getting this, head all the way back east until you reach the
original intersection, in which you should head south. Follow this path until
the end and go through the door.
On this new screen, continue west and head immediately north at the first
intersection. After pressing the switch up here (to open a door) head back
south and continue west. At the next intersection, go south and open the
chest to obtain a ROBE OF DESTINY. Head back up and continue west all the way
to the end of the path through the door. Continue west through another room
and step on this next floor switch to get rid of some of the water by the very
first door we saw. Open the chest in this room for the OLD BOOK 2. Now, head
all the way back east through two screens and follow the path until you reach
the original screen where the water is flowing (you just saw this in the
custscene.) There is a door on the eastern side of the screen we well, go
through it.
In the second portion of the ruins, head south at the first intersection and
follow this path until the next intersection. At the intersection, head south
and open the chest for the WINDOW SET 2. Head back north and follow the path
until the next intersection, where you should take the north path so that you
can press the switch. Now, head all the way back south and take that western
intersection as if you were heading back to the entrance. Follow this until
you reach the intersection, and head east. Here, the door will now be open
and you can go through. In here, take the north path and press the switch to
open the next door, and then take the eastern path. The eastern path leads to
a room that contains another switch that will take some of the water down
(this is a REQUIRED step.) Open the chest in this room for the extremely
useful TIGER TACTIC that you will probably be using for most of the rest of
the game.
Exit the switch room and head back two screens. Head west until you can go
south, and follow the south path until you can head north. Go north, and when
you can take the eastern path. Head through the door to a new screen. In
here, take the northern path and through the door here. Open the chest for a
BASIC MAGIC that will be important later. After obtaining this, step on the
floor switch to take down the last of the three layers of water on the final
door.
Head all the way back to the entrance of the ruins where the water should be
cleared. If the water is not cleared, you missed pressing one of the three
large switches and you're going to have to go through the ruins and find which
one it is. Head through the newely opened door. Continue north along this
path until a scene plays. Continue north, save your game now, and head through
the door.
After the next scene continue north and . . .
***************************************************************
Boss: Diamond Sunx2
Reward: Flame Armor, Flowing Piece 1, Mega Medicine1, Rage Piece1, 49500
Potch, 50 Party SP
This will be a rather challenging boss fight. You need to have a balance of
magic and physical attacks to effectively win this battle. One of the statues
(the right one) is weak towards physical attacks while strong towards magic.
The left statue is weak towards magic and strong towards physical attacks.
Therefore, you want to target all of your strongest magic spells onto the left
Statue.
Casting a magical defense spell such as "Clay Guardian" will help reduce the
large amount of damage the bosses can do per round. Also, having multiple
characters who can heal will help (or a character with a Shield Rune.) In
fact, if you are actually having trouble with this battle, you may want to
leave and go put an Earth rune on someone so that they can cast "Clay
Guardian," which will help considerably.
Spells such as Lightning (from Lorelai or any other caster) will work well on
the bosses. Targeting them one by one tends to work better than area spells,
especially if you have a particularly strong physical attacker. The whole
point though, is to just use whatever strong attacks and characters you have
at this point. Your strategy will vary depending on your current battle party
and setup.
Because the bosses tend to cause quite a few status effects, you will find the
Hero's Dawn Rune effective in this battle. Use it liberally so that everyone
is not affected at once.
***************************************************************
Continue north two screens, and watch a scene. Now all there is to do is exit
the ruins. Watch the scene, and allow Viki to join you.

Head to the Dahak and speak with Lucretia and Raja. Watch the scene.
Choose "We can't do that!" for a more favorable response. Save (if you need
to) and then choose to get started.
***************************************************************
War Battle 5: -Hatred Fortress Siege-
Rewards: (Victory+) 12,000 Potch, Thunder Helm
Battle Goal: Destroy all enemies.
Defeat Conditions: Hero's unit or the Dahak are destroyed.
Foes: ComShip x3 (HP: 200), ArcShip x3 (HP: 200), Ram x2 (HP: 200)
Once again, the goal of this battle is not to kill all enemies on screen even
though the game tells you to. After killing a select number off (when your
foes have around 500 left), the battle will automatically end. They key to
winning this battle is to having a nice balance of Archers (Rune Archers are
nice...), Rams (you should have two, Boz with one and Lordlake's party in the
second) and ComShips.
The enemies are a nice balanced set, so make sure that you are able to counter
any foe at any time. It will help to have at least two of each type of ship.
Also, while keeping your characters close together, clustering them in one
large pile is a bad idea because they will just slow each other down.
They key thing to remember in this battle is your battle skils. Skills like
Recover will be invaluable at any time, as is Barrage. Also remember that you
have the Dawn Rune to use now, which will be excellent.
Note that this battle is not won by killing enemy forces, but by pushing them
back towards their Fortress. This can be extremely difficult at times, since
you can cnot control which direction they run when fleeing. Still, if you take
out about half of the enemies, and get your forces close to the Hatred
Fortress to push them all the way back it should be over somewhat quick.
They key in this battle is keeping your characters separated from one another
and making sure you don't gain the attention of all of the enemies at once.
This is hard at times, but doable if you're careful. When it does become an
all out brawl (it will, eventually) you need to make sure that you have a wide
selection of ship types to choose from so that you can always exploit the
enemies weakness and protect your own.
***************************************************************
After the battle, you are told to go back to the ruins at Ceras. Pick your
party, and take Logg's boat the Yashuna.
Note: You can also teleport with Viki at this point by examining the Mirror
near Chuck. Note that you will always have to walk back To Raftfleet though,
since we do not have the Blinking Mirror yet.

Remember that the Ceras Lake Ruins are southwest from Yashuna Village. As you

Note: If you have recruited Sorensen at this point, a special scene with he
and Babbage plays.
Now enter the ruins themselves and another scene plays. Head into deeper in
ruins, and follow the path straight through three screens. After going
through the Dawn Rune door, continue north to the far end of the ruins. Here,
watch another scene.
Outside, head down the stairs.

Garb, 16,500 Potch, 50 Party SP), Blue Scissors x2 (Silver Bangle, Fire
Sealing Piece1, Crab, 19,200 Potch, 34 Party SP)
Shops: Depending on characters you have recruited.
Items: Blinking Mirror
Characters: Zerase, Zweig, Lorelai
Watch the scenes, and Lyon claims the ruins as your Headquarters.
When you awaken the next morning, you are given the option to select a name
for your permanent home. Any name works, so pick what you like best.
When you gain control, you get to go explore the Headquarters, though there is
only one place you actually need to go. From the War Room, head west through
the door, follow the path north, and head west again when you can. On the
upper level, enter the door up top for another scene. Zerase, Zweig, and
Lorelai join you as Stars of Destiny.
Head back downstairs and down to 1F. Speak with Viki, and she will give you
the BLINKING MIRROR. If you have Viki in your party, just examine the Mirror
and the same scene plays. Head back upstairs to 2F, and exit to the outside of
the castle for a scene. Toma and Maroon will join your party.
Now, speak with Logg at the far northwest and he can take you to the Beaver
Dam. This will allow you to get to Lordlake, our next destination.
Note: You can get some excellent armor at this point if you're really strong.
The enemies on the path to Lunas have powered up considerably, and also have a
new mini-boss, the Salamander. This mini-boss drops an armor with a defense
of 84 called the Fire Dragon Armor. You'll need to use your strongest
characters to defeat it though, as he is quite nasty.
Another Note: Since a lot of people have asked about this: You can not have
access to Kyle for a bit. Wait until the next major set of events where he
will automatically join you again. Right now Kyle is . . . busy . . .and
won't join your party for battles.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Toma, Maroon
Shops: Item, Armor, Inn
Items: Iron Hammer, Wall Orb
Characters: Talgeyl, Goesch, Toma, Silva
The Beaver Dam allows you access to Lordlake. Head southeast to reach the
city itself.
Once in the city, watch a scene. Talgeyl, Toma, Goesch, and Silva join your
party as Stars of Destiny.
At this point, you can finally explore the entire town. From where you gain
control, head southeast past Talgeyl into the back alley. Head south over the
bridge, and follow the path all the way south and then east. At the far east,
continue south and open the chest over here for the very important IRON HAMMER.
Note: If you take the Iron Hammer to the Dwarf in the Dwarf Camp (Baska
Mines) you will be able to sharpen your weapons up to level 10 at this point.
Unfortunately, he will not join your party just yet.
From the Hammer, head east until you can head south again. You'll find a
dried out fountain. Head southeast around the fountain and you'll find
another Chest. This one contains a WALL ORB.
Watch a scene as you try to exit, and Maroon will leave you.
Now, head back to your Headquarters. While it is time to continue on with the
game, it is an even better time to go recruit some characters!

Recruitment
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Characters: Muroon, Wilhelm, Mueller, Zunda, Belcoot, Marina, Subala,
Alhazred, Richard, Genoh
Note: If you did not recruit Nordon earlier in the game (because you did not
investigate with Oboro) then you can find him in Lordlake. Speak with him
there and ask him to join, and he will.
--------------------------------
Character: Muroon
Location: Headquarters
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After visiting renewed Lordlake
How to Recruit:
Muroon is standing near Logg at the Headquarters. Speak with him and ask him
to join with "Why don't you stay and join us?"
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Bastan
Location: Haud Appraisal Shop
Prerequisite: Have seen the scene with him on the first visit to Haud
Time to Recruit: After obtaining Headquarters
How to Recruit:
In the Haud Appraisial Shop, you'll find Bastan. To recruit him, you need to
have a ?Painting in your inventory. If he does not immediately respon to your ?
Painting then keep cancelling out of the appraisial screen and speaking with
him. He will eventually comment to you about your painting. Then he will
join you.
You do not have to leave the building when trying to recruit Bastan, you only
need to cancel out of the recruitment screen.
You can find ?Paintings commonly from the enemies inside the Revolving Bridge
(Sorensen's Sidequest) as well as from Wyverns later on in the game.
There have been a lot of people having problems with Bastan. From what I have
seen, the main reason is because they have missed the scene with him early
on. Also note that there is no "specific" painting called the Ivanov
painting. What Bastan does is take a random painting and change it into a Key
Item.
Note: If Bastan does not seem to be taking your ?Painting, and you have seen
the with him, BE PERSISTENT! He will eventually give in.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Wilhelm
Location: Raftfleet Inn
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
Wilhelm is EXTREMELY touchy to recruit. There are a few ways to recruit him.
On your first visit/meeting in Raftfleet Inn he will only join you if your
army has not had many casualties and has had a Victory+ in the War Battle
against the Hatred Fortress. To be extra careful, bring Viki along.
Another way to have them join is later in the game with Viki in your party.
Since Wilhelm likes ladies, Viki is needed. Wilhelm moves from Inn to Inn
after each major In-Game event, so look for him then.
There are three places to recruit Wilhelm and Mueller, Raftfleet, Lelcar, and
Doraat. If you miss them all all three locales, you miss them permanently.
Wilhelm is a missable character, as his his partner Mueller.
--------------------------------
Mueller joins along with Wilhelm.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Zunda
Location: Dwarf Camp
Prerequisite: Takamu and able to enter Lunas
Time to Recruit: After obtaining Headquarters
How to Recruit:
Zunda is a Dwarf in the Dwarf Camp. She is near the exit to the northeast.
Speak with her and tell her you will show her a Window. Now, we need to go to
Lunas. If you have Takamu and were able to get Zegai earlier in the game then
you should be fine getting into Lunas. (Head to Haud and go northwest to reach
the forest if you don't remember.)
Once in Lunas, head into the Oracle's Conclave, and enter the first door to
the north. Approach the Window in here and Zunda will finally be satisfied.
She joins your cause.
A problem I've been hearing with Zunda is that when people try to recruit her,
they have not recruited Takamu, and so they can not access Lunas. In this
case, spend the night at the Inn (this makes Zunda leave) and go recruit
Takamu in Agate Prison. With Takamu in your party, head back to Zunda and now
you can take her to Lunas.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Belcoot
Location: Yashuna Village
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
You'll find Belcoot outside of the Inn in Yashuna (after visiting Lordlake.)
Speak with him and he will not join you without Marina. Now enter the Inn and
watch the scene with Marina.
Note: If Marina does not appear, go a bit farther in the game (after speaking
with Belcoot) and then come back. This should get her to appear.
After the scene, Belcoot and Marina join your cause.
--------------------------------
Marina joins along with Belcoot.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Subala
Location: Raftfleet
Prerequisite: Lun in your party
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
Head to Raftfleet, and head north of the Save Point with Lun in your party.
Watch a short scene here. Now, speak with Subala to initiate another scene.
Choose "She'll give us, uh...Energy?" and now you need to fish with her.
It is rather easy to win the mini-game, and once you win, she will join you.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Alhazred
Location: Yashuna Village
Prerequisite: You MUST have seen the scene with him in Rainwall
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
First, you need to have seen the scene with him in Rainwall.
Next, head to Yashuna Village and go to the second Inn (the far east) and head
upstairs. Up here, enter the room near the stairs for a short scene. You
will recieve the Strange Book.
After recieving this book, head back to your Headquarters, and put it into
Storage (with Chuck.)
After some time (go battle, recruit characters, or go along with a story
event) speak with Chuck and he will give you BACK the book.
Go back to Yashuna Village and head back to the second Inn where you
originally met the man who gave you the Strange Book. Speak to the woman
inside and choose "I want to return a book. . ."
Now, go to Estrise (east of Rainwall) and speak with Alhazred north of the
fountain. Tell him "Actually, now that you mention it. . ." and he will
temporarily join your party.
Head back to Yashuna Village through whichever means, and head upstairs in the
second Inn again. Watch a scene.
You need to fight an optional boss now, the Book of Condemnation.
***************************************************************
Boss: Book of Condemnation
Rewards: Resurrection Piece1 16,500 Potch, 100 Party SP
The Book of Condemnation is quite slow, and tends to attack last, which is a
good thing. Unfortunately, his attacks will hit a large range of characters
(even if not for the larges amount of damage.)
Whenever the book is opened up, he will start castin Dark Based spells. Any
defensive spells work well (especially ones that nullify spells as a whole) to
reduce damage, even though the damage from the spells will not be significant
enough to warrant danger.
Casting defensive spells will help reduce damage all around (such as Clay
Guardian), and if done correctly, you will not need to heal at all. Stick with
physical attacks over magic, since the boss has a high magical defense, and
the boss will die quickly.
***************************************************************
After the battle ask him to join, and he accepts. He will give you the
Condemnation Orb as a reward.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Richard
Location: Waterfall Basin
Prerequisite: Must have Wilhelm and Mueller
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
You need to find him at the end of the Waterfall Basin.
At the end of the basin, speak with Richard. Ask him to join you, and he will
tell you that he can not. Now, head back to your Headquarters (using an Escape
Scroll helps considerably here) and speak with Mueller. Then head back to the
Waterfall Basin and speak with Richard again. He will join you this time.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Genoh
Location: Waterfall Basin
Prerequisite: Alhazred or Levi
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
First, head to Beaver Lodge and speak with the Beaver outside of the Elder's
Hut about the "Boss" multiple times. Now speak to Fulawafuwalu (the Elder) and
he will tell you about the Elder (if you haven't asked him to join you before,
you will need to speak with him multiple times.) Now, head into the Waterfall
Basin with Alhazred or Levi in your party, and with this character one level
below or any level higher than your hero. Head to the far end of the Basin,
and you'll find Genoh (My first thought was Genbu, because of his form). He
will only join you under the condition that the "Old" character is one level
lower or any higher than the hero.
Note: Contrary to popular belief, you do NOT need Zerase or Jeane in your
party to recruit Genoh.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon
Suggested Level: 30
Enemies: Ogre Frog, Vampire Bat, Huge Legs
Boss: None
Mini-Boss: Tarantula (Mega Medicine1, Venom Orb, Eyeball Ring, 8200 Potch, 30
Party SP)
Items: Pale Moon Beads, Resurrection Piece, Stone of Luck, Voice Set 4
Characters: Richard, Genoh
Note: The Vampire Bats in this section drop Drain Pieces, so if you're looking
to make a few Drain Orbs, you should fight them for a bit.
This is an optional area that you will do to recruit to characters. Though
you can enter it earlier than this point, there is really no need, since you
can not recruit the characters there. The Waterfall Basin is southeast of your
Headquarters and the Beaver Lodge.
Follow the path until you see some rocks over the river to the east. Head
over these rocks, and across the river. Head north and open the chest here
for some PALE MOON BEADS. Now, go south until you reach an intersection.
Continue south, and head west over the rock pathway when you can. On the
other sided of the river, head west and south when you can to open a chest
containing a rare RESURRECTION PIECE. Go back to the Intersection and head
east, where you'll find a well hidden STONE OF LUCK. Now head back north and
over the river. Go back to the intersection and take the western path.
Follow this path until you reach the next intersection, where you should head
east and down the next path over the river. Over here, head down the eastern
path and you'll find a very well hidden chest containing a VOICE SET 4. Head
back to the intersection and go south. Follow this path, and you'll find a
save point. Continue along, and head northwest over the rocks across the
river. Head north here onto the next screen.
Speak to the man on this screen, and ask him to join you. He will not, for
now. His name is Richard, and tells you that Mueller told him to train there.
So head back to the Headquarters and speak with Mueller. Now, head all the
way back through the Waterfall Basin to where Richard is, and speak with him
again.
This time he will join you.
After recruiting Richard, level up a character like Alhazred (or wait until
you get Levi later) until they are one level lower than your main character,
or higher. Now, head to where you found Richard, and you'll meet Genoh, who
with the elder character in your party, will be recruitable. You will need to
speak with the Beavers in Beaver Lodge before this event will happen though.
+++
Lastly, to obtain a character later on you MUST bring Cius and Lorelai to the
Agate Prison at this point. After a short scene in the prison, Killey
leaves. Head back to Headquarters, where you'll find Killey again with Zweig
and Lorelai (near the exit.) You need to choose "Explain what?" and "Very
well. . ." (If you do not at least choose "Very Well" I believe you can miss
Killey. It's just how his personality is).
Head up to the Sealed Room for another scene. This will trigger events later
on when you can find and recruit him.
+++
Note: If you didn't bring Lorelai and Cius to Killey, but instead freed him
when you were in Agate the very first visit (you can do this, but you miss out
on some extra conversation) you can still recruit Killey in the same manner as
if you freed him later. But remember YOU CAN NOT FREE KILLEY AFTER THE
QUEEN'S CAMPAIGN. You will have missed him permanently if you did not.

Mini-Boss [World Map]: Big Creeper (Baked Cheesecake1, ?Bonsai, Black Warrior
Garb, 16,500 Potch, 50 Party SP), Blue Scissors x2 (Silver Bangle, Fire

Shops: Depending on characters you have recruited.
Items: None
Characters: None
After you have recruited all of the characters possible at this point (that
was quite a few!) head back to your Headquarters for a new mission. Head to
the War Room on 3F for a scene. You'll also need to have gone to Beaver Lodge
and spoken to Fuwalafuwalu to get this to occur, it seems. So if you haven't
and are having trouble getting this War Room scene to occur, head over to
Beaver Lodge^^
After the scene, head back downstairs and head outside (from 2F) for a scene
with Taylor. You automatically head back to the War Room. Choose "Let's go to
Lelcar!" when you're ready to continue on with the game (you can say you want
to wait if you have things to do still.) Kyle is a required member of your
party for the events in Lelcar. (Gotta love Kyle's outfit!)
Head downstairs and choose the members of your party, and then speak with
Logg, who will take you to Lelcar.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Kyle
Enemies: Bodyguard, Thug, Godwin Soldier
Boss: Nikea, Thugx5
Shops: Appraisal, Inn x2, Armor, Rune Shop, Trading, Item, Physical Training,
Magical Training
Items: White Rose Brooch, Guardian Casque, Rage Piece, Anklets of Destiny, Tri
Tactic, Sacrificial Jizo, Basic Combat, Raging Lion Epic
Characters: Mohsen, Wasil, Volga, Orok
Watch the scene. Head southwest and open the chest here for the WHITE ROSE
BROOCH. Press southeast against the southern houses and you'll eventually find
a path to a chest containing a GUARDIAN CASQUE. Continue south past the
intersection for a scene. Now head north and you'll find a very (very!) thin
path to the west between two buildings that leads to the Western Islet. Take
it.
In the Western Islet continue west and you'll find some more shops. Head all
the way north here, and when you can, head northeast over the rock path to
small island. Open the chest here for a RAGE PIECE. Head back to the city
and enter the Armor Shop. To recruit a character later on, you will need to
spend around 100,000 (one-hundred thousand) Potch in this shop. Speak with
Moshen in here after buying 100,000 Potch and he will end up joining you
later. If you don't have 100,000 Potch you can wait until later, so don't
worry. Exit the Armor shop, and head all the way south down the screen. There
is a chest down here that contains the ANKLETS OF DESTINY.
Head back to the Central Islet. Here, head all the way south for another
scene. Exit the house,and head all the way south. By the trees on the western
side of the far southern portion of the central islet is an extremely well
hidden chest that contains the TRI TACTIC. Head back north, and when you can
head east to the Eastern Islet.
On the Eastern Islet, head east and watch a scene. Answering "Huh? There's a
Prince here? Where?" gives a more entertaining answer. From where you gain
control, head north all the way, and then west. You'll find a chest
containing a SACRIFICIAL JIZO. Now head into the Inn and go upstairs. There
is a chest in one of the rooms up here that contains the BASIC COMBAT book.
Now, head back over to the Western Islet (through the Central Islet) and head
all the way south to Orok's house.
After the short scene, you are forced into a story battle with three Thugs and
three Bodyguards. This is not a boss battle but you still need to keep your
guard up. Now head west and open the chest for the RAGING LION EPIC. Now head
downstairs for another scene.
***************************************************************
Boss: Nikea, Thugx5
Rewards: Baked Cheesecake, Master's Robe, 19,800 Potch, 80 Party SP
Like many boss battles, this battle is fought versus a large number of foes.
Spells will be your very best friend here, especially Fire ones. if you have
gotten every Rage Piece at this point, you will have a Rage Rune in your
possession. Using that will slaughter this boss and her lackeys. Also, the
third level Lightning spell, Soaring Bolt, will work exceedingly well once you
have taken down some of the other enemies on the level (since the damage is
based towards the number of enemies on screen, you want to use it after at
least 2 or three foes are killed so that the bosses take more damage each.)
The hardest part about this battle is the sheer built up amount of damage that
the enemies can cause. Because of this, you need to kill as many enemies as
you possibly can on the first round, which will hopefully be three or four. If
not, you should probably expect a few deaths on the first round if you don't
have the best gear.
So on the first round, cast as many defensive spells as possible as well as
area-of-effect spells to take down all of the Thugs. Alone, Nikea is not a
challenge, but the Thugs are what will cause the damage.
***************************************************************
Watch a scene. Exit the house and watch the scenes. I HIGHLY suggest going to
save before going to war.
***************************************************************
War Battle 6: -Defending Lelcar-
Rewards: (Victory+) 15,000 Potch, Guardian Chain
Battle Goal: Push enemy ground forces back from Lelcar.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed.
Foes: Infantry (HP:120), Spear (HP:150), Archerx2 (HP: 150), Cavalry (HP:150),
Zahhak (HP:200), Rune ArcShp (HP:200), ArcShp (HP:200), ComShip (HP:200), Ram
(HP: 200)
This will be the largest war battle yet, and will be extremely annoying since
you have so many units to control so spread out from each other (both land and
sea units.) If you are having trouble, press select to pause it, and
choose "View Map" to move the cursor while it's paused and then unselect where
you want to control your characters at. This makes it quite a bit easier to
execute commands.
With your ground units, the largest danger is getting stuck on the bridge.
This is a common occurence and will cause both sides to get slaughtered, and
the less deaths the better. The bridge will stop your characters from running,
so make sure that you do not move onto it to intercept the ground army.
To win this battle, all you need to do is severly damage Zahhak's unit, but if
you do that, you'll miss out on all sorts of other goodies. Also note that you
actually don't even HAVE to deal with the ship part of the battle if you
finish the ground portion quickly enough, since the ships are far enough away
that it takes quite some time for your opponents to reach them. That is your
choice though, since you get goodies for killing the ships.
Remember to effectively use skills like Charge and your Rune Magic to make
your enemies run. Also, play defensive. DO NOT approach the second bridge
unless you want to die, since you will get caught and slaughtered on it. The
Dawn Rune will be especially helpful when the enemies are clustered together
on the bridge, so don't be afraid to use that.
***************************************************************
Watch the scene. Back in town you're going to need to deal with the soldiers.
This will be a really nasty battle if you don't have some good gear, so make
sure to use spells effectively.
When you gain control, head west and then north. Watch a scene up here.
Wasil, Volga, and Orok join you as Stars of Destiny.
Now, you are supposed to head back to Headquarters, but once again. Make sure
to stop by Mohsen on the way out though!
--------------------------------
Character: Mohsen
Location: Lelcar/Doratt
Prerequisite: Must have spent 100,000 Potch at his store.
Time to Recruit: Lelcar, after the battle, or after the battle in Doratt
How to Recruit:
Before the battle in Lelcar, buy around 100,000 Potch worth of armor from
Mohsen and speak with him. Finish the events around Lelcar, and speak with
him again. Choose "I'm sorry to have failed you. . ." and then you MUST not
tell him to (hypothetically) "suck it up" and instead ask him to join you (Why
don't you open a shop at my castle?). If you tell him that it will be all
right, he will NEVER join you, so make sure that you ask him to join your
cause. If you did not buy 100,000 Potch worth of armor from him before the
battle of Lelcar, you will have to wait until Doratt to recruit him.
If you wait until Doratt, you need to buy 100,000 Potch worth of armor from
him there, and then speak with him and ask him to join. He will then accept
your proposal.

Characters: Taylor, Jeane, Murad, Linfa, Nikea
--------------------------------
Character: Taylor
Location: Headquarters
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After the battle at Lelcar.
How to Recruit:
Head to the Inn and you'll find Taylor outside. Allow him to look around the
castle and he'll move on.
You'll find Taylor again by the Sealed Room. Allow him to check it out and
he'll move once again.
Taylor's last location is by Georg's room (by where Kyle usually stands.)
Speak with him and let him check that out. Now he joins your army.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Jeane
Location: Lelcar
Prerequisite: Speaking with the Guard in "Big Hole."
Time to Recruit: After the battle at Lelcar.
How to Recruit:
First, speak with the Guard in the "Big Hole" northwest of Rainwall (go to the
Eastern Wharf and head north to get there easily.)
After speaking with him, head to Lelcar and find Jeane in the Rune Shop. Watch
a scene. If you bring Kyle, you'll get some extra text (it's worth it!).
After the scene, speak with her again and ask her to join you. Tell her that
you will "Gladly" help her. Jeane temporarily joins your party.
Head back to the "Big Hole" with Jeane.
Follow the path to the end and you'll find a new dungeon.
Note: In this dungeon enemies drop Magic Absorb Pieces, an excellent Rune that
you should use for all mages who can equip it. You may want to spend some
time farming it while you're here.
In here, follow the western path along until you reach an intersection, where
you should go west to obtain some ANKLETS OF DESTINY. Head back east and
you'll eventually reach a new intersection. Here, head south and then east
across the small platform. Continue southeast and follow the east path until
you reach another intersection. Go east and open the chest for some DEVIL
BEADS, and head back. Follow the intersection west then follow the path until
you reach the two chests at the end. These contain a HOLY AMULET and a
PROSPERITY TUNIC. Head back to the intersection and take the north fork and
follow the path until you reach a large statue.
From the large statue head north and into the large building. In here, there
are two paths. Head up the stairs to the east and go up the stairs directly
west of those on the next screen for a chest containing a MOTHER EARTH PIECE.
Head back to the main room and go up the stairs to the west. In here, head up
the stairs directly to the east and open the chest for the SORCERY TACTIC.
Head back downstairs and follow the path north and through the northern door.
In here, watch a scene. Choose "Will you join us now?" and Jeane joins you as
a Star of Destiny.
There's still some more chests in the dungeon. One is on the upper level above
the entrance. It contains a MYSTIC RING. Another is in the northwestern
corner, and this one contains the DRAGON INCENSE. There is a very well hidden
(impossible to see) chest in the northwestern corner (up at the very top of
the stairs) behind that wall that changes the camera angle. This hidden chest
contains a CHAMPION'S ORB. The last chest is in the northeastern corner, and
this one contains a MAGIC RING.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Murad
Location: Lelcar
Prerequisite: Having spoken to him twice before.
Time to Recruit: After the battle of Lelcar, or after the second events at
Beaver Lodge
How to Recruit:
You need to speak to Murad in a few cities before he will actually join you.
You'll find him first in Rainwall during your time there. After that he goes
to Raftfleet where you should speak with him there. Note that the windows of
times in these towns that he remains is quite short, so the moment you see him
you need to speak with him. After the battle in Lelcar you'll find him on the
Western Islet tending to the wounded. Speak with him there and he will join
if you spoke to him before. If he does not join now, you'll need to speak
with him later on after the second series of events in the Beaver Lodge.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Linfa
Location: Estrise, Yashuna, Raftfleet
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After the battle at Lelcar.
How to Recruit:
Recruiting Linfa is a three step process. Note that the first two steps can
actually be completed before the battle of Lelcar, but the last step can not
be completed until after.
First, you'll find Linfa in the Inn of Estrise. Speak with her here and she
challenged you to a game. Play her, and don't even try to win. Linfa cheats,
so don't expect to win this. After you lose 2,000 Potch, she leaves.
Now, head to Yashuna village where you'll find her again (near the water).
This time she gives you back your 2,000 Potch and leaves.
The last place you'll find Linfa is in Raftfleet, where you can recruit her.
If you don't find her there the first time, you may need to wait until a few
in-game events have passed. To get Linfa to join, ask her, and then accept her
challenge. She will join you if you win or lose, but if you lose you need to
pay 5,000 Potch.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Nikea
Location: Estrise
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After the battle at Lelcar.
How to Recruit:
You'll find Nikea at the Inn in Estrise. After a short scene with her, she
demands to duel if you want to recruit her.
---------------------------------------
Optional Duel: -Hero vs Nikea-
Attack: Okay, here I go.
Attack: I'm telling you, that wont work on me!
Attack: Special move, ouch owie ouch...Sorry guess I cant do that one. . .
Special: I'll start off with a special move right away, Kabaluph(sp?)
Landslside!
Special: Special Move, Demba Avalanche!
Special: Special Move, Kabaluph(sp?) Landslside!
Defense: Okay, come at me!
Defense: Hey not bad, guess I better keep my eyes open.
Near the end of the duel, Nikea starts using her special move over and over
again, so if you just defend every round it should be an easy win. She does
not have the largest array of attacks, either. I didn't head that one word
well in her special, but you'll know it when you hear it. . .
---------------------------------------
After beating Nikea, she will join your army.

Sable

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Sialeeds
Enemies [World Map]: Avolo Pestis, Killer Bald Eagle, Rockadillo
Shops: Inn, Item, Armor, Rune, Trading Post, Appraisal, Physical Training,
Magical Training, Blacksmith (Level 10)
Items: Fate Control Epic, Elementary Magic, Silver Hammer, Crown of Destiny,
Old Book 8
Characters: Dongo
Sable is a long walk from your Headquarters. First, you need to
Blink/Teleport over to Lordlake. Outside of Lordlake, follow the road
southeast and you'll find the Sable. West Checkpoint. Enter this and watch a
scene. You are pitted against four Sable Patrol Guards in a story battle. Boz
and Dinn join your party. Now, head through the Checkpoint to the World Map.
On the World Map, follow the path southeast until you reach Sable. Watch the
scenes. Boz leaves your party, though Dinn stays. Now head south and enter
the storage room and you'll find the FATE CONTROL EPIC. Now head back north
and into the courtyard. In here, you'll find the ELEMENTARY MAGIC. Exit
Solis' house.
In the main town, head north until you reach the armor shop. From here, head
west and up the stairs. You'll find the important SILVER HAMMER in the chest
up here. Head back down the stairs. With the Silver Hammer in your possession
you can recruit another character in the Dwarf Camp.
--------------------------------
Character: Dongo
Location: Dwarf Camp
Prerequisite: Have given Dongo the Iron Hammer (found in Lordlake)
Time to Recruit: After gaining access to Sable
How to Recruit:
You need to give Dongo the Iron and Silver Hammers to recruit him. The Iron
Hammer is found in a chest in Lordlake, while the Silver Hammer is found in a
chest in Sable. After giving him both of these, and sharpening a few weapons,
he will join your army.
Something some people do here is that they do not give Dongo the Iron Hammer
before they have the Silver Hammer. In this case, you will need to wait until
you get a higher level Hammer (such as the Gold Hammer) to recuit him. Dongo
needs to have two hammer types given to him before you can recruit him.
--------------------------------
Back at the Sable Armor Shop, head all the way to the northeastern corner of
the town. Its a rather long walk, but you'll eventually find a chest
containing a CROWN OF DESTINY. Now, head back to the Inn and enter. Go
upstairs, and you'll find a way to get outside (to the south of the screen.)
Follow the eastern wall to a new screen and open the chest to the north for
the OLD BOOK 8.
After obtaining all of the items, exit Sable.

Ranro Mountain
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Sialeeds, Dinn
Suggested Level: 35
Enemies: Killer Bald Eagle, Bandit (Sword), Bandit (Bow), Avolo Pestis,
Rockadillo
Mini-Boss: Salamander
Boss: Female Bandit, Male Bandit, Bandit (Sword) x2, Bandit (Bow) x2
Items: Pale Moon Gloves, Circle Tactic, Swift Foot Epic, Window Set 4, Taira
Armor, Wind Ring, Cyclone Piece
Characters: None
Note: The mini-boss here is the same one that I mentioned earlier on the path
of Lunas. It drops a great piece of armor with high defense, if you can
defeat it.
Head north from Sable, and hug the mountains until you can go east. You'll
eventually find Ranro Mountain.
Once you have entered the mountain, watch a scene. When you regain control,
head very slightly east and press the X button near that large vine on the
wall. You'll climb up the vine. At the top of the vine, open the chest and
you'll recieve the PALE MOON GLOVES. Go back down, and head all the way west.
Head up the vine to the far west.
On the second level, head east and head up the vine to the third level. On the
third floor, head all the way west and up the vine. Up here, continue west
and up another vine. The chest up here contains the CIRCLE TACTIC. Head down
the two vines back to the third level. Down here, head all the way east and
there are two vines. Take the southern vine going down and follow this vine
up the next one. Up here you'll find the SWIFT FOOT EPIC. Head back down the
vine, and back up the previous vine to the intersection. Now, take the
northeastern vine going up to reach the fourth level.
On the fourth level, head west up the next vine, and then head all the way
east and up the vine up here. Open the chest here for the WINDOW SET 4. Head
back down the vine. Back down here, head all the way west to the far end and
go up the vine to the next level. Take the western vine to the next level
after this.
There's a Save point up here. Save now, and then head all the way east.
Watch a scene.
***************************************************************
Boss: Female Bandit, Male Bandit, Bandit (Sword) x2, Bandit (Bow) x2
Rewards: Kite Orb, ?Painting
This is another battle where area of effect attacks will work to your
advantage. Once again, higher level Fire spells, or spells like Soaring Bolt
or Earthquake will do some good damage to all enemies. The goal is to take
down as many of the foes on the screen as quickly as you possibly can. If you
do not, they will attack you, and quite possibly overwhelm you if you do not
have the best gear possible.
The Bandits are quite fast, especialy if you are low levelled, so you may want
to cast protective spells (from the Earth Rune) on your first round.
Otherwise, this battle is not too difficult, it is more like a mid-boss than a
true boss.
***************************************************************
After the battle, head north and into the Bandit's Hideout.
There are a few more treasures in here to obtain before finding "Roy." Enter
the first door you see (to the east) and open the chest in here for the TAIRA
ARMOR. Exit this room, and head all the way north (ignoring the door to the
west for now.) Head through the door and open the chest in here for the WIND
RING. Head back south, and enter that door to the West.
Watch a scene.
---------------------------------------
Duel 4: Doppelanger -Hero vs Roy-
Attack: Is that the best you can do? Well, guess it's my turn now!
Attack: Well, I'm not going to hit you with my best moves right away am I?
Attack: Damn you! That really hurt!
Special: Hmm...maybe I'll hit you with my best moves right away!
Special: All right, this one is gonna put you outta your misery!
Special: You got me....I gotta take a break...haha! Did you really believe me?
Special: Hmph, what if I really get serious?
Special: Hmph, you think that hurts? you gotta do something more like this!
Special: Grr, you really piss me off, you know that!?!
Defense: Damn you...You really got me!
Defense: What are you waiting for? Come at me!
Defense: Okay, here comes another one. . . Nah, changed my mind!
Roy uses specials most of the time. Also, he has a fake guard with that
special, so don't play into it, make sure you read the entire text before
actually selecting the command (which is not neccessary all the time.) Roy
tends to special most of the time in this battle (seeing as his most of his
attacks are specials) though sometimes determining which are specials and
which are attacks is tricky.
---------------------------------------
Note: if you lose to Roy, you will see one of the premature bad endings.
Watch the scene. Answer "I'll do no such thing!" (this is important!!!) during
the scene. Faylen, Faylon, and Roy join your party. Open the chest in this
room for the CYCLONE PIECE. Now you need to leave the mountain, which you can
either walk down, or use an Escape Tailsman to do. Head back to Sable.

Rewards: Rose Brooch, FireFly Orb, Mega Medicine1
Once again, this is a battle that you need to use area of effect spells with.
This one will probably be a bit harder than the previous battle though,
because of your limited party. You are required to have your Hero, Lyon,
Faylen, Faylon, and Sialeeds in your party in this battle.
Sialeeds should use her Wind Rune while Faylen and Faylon use their Co-Op
attack, Brotherly Love, targeted on Euram. Have your Hero and Lyon use their
strongest area attacks on the foes (depending on equipped runes.)
Unfortunately, the enemies are extremely quick, so you need to act fast as
well. Fortunately though, they have quite low HP and will die in only a few
attacks. As long as you are decently levelled (around 35-38) this battle
should be easily winnable, even if you are severly limited.
***************************************************************
Watch the scene. Enter Solis' manor again. Watch another scene. It is very
important to choose "All I did was clear my good name." during this scene.
Dinn and Roy join your party. If you chose "I'll do no such thing!" during
the previous scene, and "All I did was clear my good name." during this scene,
lastly, choose "All right, it's a deal!" Faylen and Faylon will also join
you. If you messed up, you can still recruit them later.
Head back to Headquarters.
--------------------------------
Character: Faylen
Location: Ranro Mountain
Prerequisite: Must have Roy.
Time to Recruit: After the bandit events in Sable
How to Recruit:
With Roy in your party, head to the top of Ranro mountain and speak with
Faylen and Faylon. They will say that they are bringing the stolen goods back
to Sable. If you agree to help them, and bring down the three boxes worth of
goods then they will join your party.
You can ONLY do this event if they did not join you along with Roy. To get
them to join along with Roy, answer "I'll do no such thing!", "All I did was
clear my good name." and "All right! It's a deal!" during the scenes in Sable.
Faylen and Faylon ARE missable characters, and if you wait too long to recruit
them, they will be missed permanently.
--------------------------------
Faylon joins along with Faylen.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Sialeeds, Dinn, Boz, Roy
Shops: Depending on characters you have recruited.
Items: None
Characters: Nakula, Sagiri
Head to the War Room on 3F for a scene. When you gain control, there is
another character you can recruit before continuing. This character has a
rather short window for recruitment, so I suggest going to get him right now.
--------------------------------
Character: Nakula
Location: Sable
Prerequisite: Must have Oboro.
Time to Recruit: After the bandit events in Sable, but before the events of
the Queen's Campaign.
How to Recruit:
First, speak with the Maid in the Inn. This needs to be done before heading
much further. She'll mention the warrior on the bed is quite the fighter. Now,
wait a while, and head back upstairs to Inn at Sable, and speak with Nakula on
the bed. He will be awake and angry. Speak with him, and try to befriend him
for a scene.
When you regain control, head to Oboro's ship in Raftfleet. Speak with Oboro
for another scene. Now head back to Sable and speak with Nakula again. After
the scene (its really good!) Nakula joins your party.
There is a very short time period for getting Nakula, so right after you get
back to headquarters and see the scene in the War Room head back to Sable to
begin the series of events to recruit him.
The problem most people have with Nakula is that they don't have Oboro by the
time that you can recruit him. Yes, you do need Oboro, and you only have
until the Queen's Campaign before you've lost access to Nakula for good.
--------------------------------
Sagiri joins along with Nakula.
--------------------------------
After recruiting Nakula and Sagiri, head back to the Headquarters and take a
rest in your bed. Watch the scene.
Head downstairs and speak with Luserina to change party members, and then
speak with Viki and she teleports you to the World Map outside of the Mountain
Path. head southwest and enter Beaver Lodge.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon
Suggested Level: 35
Enemies: Assassin
Boss: Dolph
Items: None
Characters: Fuwalafuwalu, Maroon, Murad (if you didn't get him in Lelcar)
There will be random encounters in Beaver Lodge this time. The enemies drop
rare Crazed Orbs as well, so you may want to spend some time fighting here.
From where you gain control, follow the northwestern path until you reach the
Elder's house, which you should enter. Watch a scene.
***************************************************************
Boss: Dolph
Rewards: Twin Tactic, Resurrection Piece1
Dolph is very very fast, and will attack before your characters. He tends to
attack Lyon most of the time, so you will need to focus on keeping her alive.
Fortunately, Dolph is alone this time, so you wil not need to worry about area
of effect attacks, and just kill him with whatever attacks you have that are
strongest at the moment.
Just note that Dolph is extremely strong versus magical attacks, and he'll
probably take around half the damage he would normally when you attack him
with them. So physical attacks will work better than magic in this battle,
though Dolph does have a higher evasion rate than a normal boss. Still, strong
Lightning magic like Furious Blow will do decent damage, probably over 800 per
casting.
***************************************************************
Watch the scene. Exit the Elder's house for another scene.
Now you need to head back to your Headquarters.

Items: None
Characters: Isabel, Mathias
Head to the War Room for a scene. You awaken in your room.
--------------------------------
Character: Isabel
Location: Estrise/Headquarters
Prerequisite: None.
Time to Recruit: After the second set of events at Beaver Lodge.
How to Recruit:
Head to Estrise and walk towards Babbage's shop in the southeastern corner of
town. Watch a scene. Exit Estrise, and head back to your Headquarters.
When you arrive back, Boz will be standing near Luserina. If he's not there,
try moving to another area and then coming back, or wait until the next story
event progresses. Speak with Boz and Luserina for a scene (you need to have
seen the scene about Rainwall being taken for this to occur.)
Now, make a party with 2-3 people and head over to Haud Village. If you do
this correctly, Luserina will comment about you going to Haud with "So few
people."
You'll find Euram near the exit to Haud (to the east.) Watch a scene.
Fight off the six Barows Soldiers here, and Isabel joins you if you choose to
fight evil together.
--------------------------------
Mathias joins along with Isabel.
--------------------------------
*Note* Mathias comes with a rare Cyclone Rune that you may want to remove and
put on a better mage character.
When you're ready, head to the War Room. It's time to head to the Island
Nations!
Teleport to Estrise. If you have never been to Estrise, it is east of
Rainwall. To get to Rainwall, take the boat from your Headquarters to the
East Wharf.

Characters: None
If you haven't obtained all of the items in Estrise, now is a good chance to
do so.
When you are ready to continue with the game, head all the way north on either
side of the screen and you'll find another screen. This screen has a large
ship on it. Watch the scene.
Speak with Boz when you're ready to leave.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Georg
Enemies: Pirate Captain, Pirate Lackey
Shops: Appraisal, Rune, Item, Blacksmith, Inn, Trading Post, Blacksmith (Level
10)
Items: Voice Set 3, Window Set 7, Divine Right Epic, Striking Tactic
Characters: Chisato (Part 1), Bernadette
Watch the scene. When you regain control, head up the stairs to the north and
follow the western path until you see a large tree near the Inn. Near this
tree you'll find a very well hidden chest (it's easier to see if you bring the
camera in with R1) that contains the VOICE SET 3. Continue north to the next
screen.
In the main town, head east, and speak with all the children standing together
to the northeast. Watch a scene. Speak with Chisato and ask her to join.
Though she will not, it will open the events for recruitment later on. Head
up the stairs and speak with Skald to the northeast. Bernadette joins your
party. Head north up the stairs until you reach the Lighthouse. Before
entering though, head west and you'll find two chests on the outer edge of the
Lighthouse. They contain the WINDOW SET 7 and the DIVINE RIGHT EPIC. Enter
the Great Lighthouse.
Head up three sets of stairs in the Lighthouse, and you'll find two chests,
which contain the STRIKING TACTIC and a STONE OF SPEED. Head up the last
stairs for a short scene. Now you need to exit the Lighthouse and circle
around the western edge to find the Ladder. Climb it, and enter the door at
the top. Watch the scene. You are forced into an event battle with the
Pirate Captain and his 5 Pirate Lackey's (with some extra special music to top
it off!). This battle should be approached like most bosses, with strong area
spells to take down the stronger Captain first and then working on the weaker
foes. Try to kill as many foes as possible on the first round to prevent your
party from taking excess damage.
Watch the scene. Exit the Lighthosue and enter the main town. Bernadette joins
you as a Star of Destiny. Take your ship back to Estrise. Watch the scene, and
head back to your Headquarters.

Recruitment
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Characters: Miroon, Moroon, Meroon, Byakuren, Babbage, Lu, Retso, Shun-Min,
Chisato, Nelis, Yahr
--------------------------------
Character: Miroon
Location: Tricolor Inn, Yashuna Village
Prerequisite: Muroon and Maroon
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters
How to Recruit:
Speak with Miroon in the Tricolor Inn in Yashuna Village with Maroon and
Muroon (the two Beavers) in your party. Watch the scene. Choose to help Miroon
and she will join your party and tell you how to get to the dungeon. There's a
hidden door to the northeast of this room to reach the dungeon; you can not
see it, but if you press against the wall you will find the door. Enter the
dungeon.
Follow the path north for a short scene, and continue north through the next
door. Now follow the path all the way east and through the door for a scene.
Allow Miroon to join you.
Note: The mini-boss in this area is called a King Mantik. He is quite nasty
at low levels, but he drops some Iron Fists, a Fire Sealing Piece, and some
Crab, as well as 18,000 Potch and 40 Party SP.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Moroon
Location: Beaver Lodge
Prerequisite: Muroon, Maroon, and Miroon
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters
How to Recruit:
Head to Beaver Lodge with Muroon, Maroon, and Miroon in your party. Speak with
Meroon (not Moroon) near the south end of the screen. She whines about
wanting to meet someone. Now head to Baska Mines and speak with Moroon twice
or so. head back to Beaver Lodge and speak with Meroon again. Tell her that
you have spoken with Moroon and she will ask you to take her to him. Head
back to Baska Mines and speak with Moroon. He joins your party. So head back
to Beaver Lodge for another scene.
--------------------------------
Meroon joins along with Moroon.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Byakuren
Location: Headquarters
Prerequisite: Genoh, Levi
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters
How to Recruit:
After the expansion of Headquarters, run around to the farthest lower level
with Genoh in your party. You'll encounter a large Snake. Fight her off, and
if Genoh is in your army she will join you. Byakuren is a missable character,
as the only chance to recruit her is once every time the Headquarters expands,
so be careful when running along the lower levels of your Headquarters!
You can also get Byakuren is Levi is in your army.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Babbage
Location: Estrise
Prerequisite: Sorensen
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters
How to Recruit:
With Sorensen in your party, after the Headquarters expands, head to the room
called "Gears" in your Headquarters. After the scene in here, head to Esrise
and speak with Babbage in his workshop. Watch a scene with Babbage and Lu in
here. Babbage joins your party. Head back to your Headquarters and bring
Babbage to "Gears" for another scene.
Now you need to wait for a while for Babbage to complete his work. Come back
later and he will join you, along with creating the elevator.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Lu
Location: Estrise
Prerequisite: Sorensen and Babbage
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters
How to Recruit:
After recruiting Babbage, head back to Babbage's workshop in Estrise. Bring
Sorensen to the workshop to speak with her and she will ask you to find a
gear. Find the gear near the door (it's somewhat annoying) and Lu will join
your army.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Retso
Location: Raftfleet
Prerequisite: Subala
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters.
How to Recruit:
Head to the Raftfleet Inn and speak with Retso. Ask him to come to the castle
and he declines. Head back to your Headquarters and play Subala's fishing
mini-game. Catch fish until, eventually, you catch a rare fish called
a "Strange Fish." When you exit out after the match, Subala will comment
about the fish. Head back to Retso with this item in your posession.
Choose "Can you have a look at this fish?" when you speak with him for a scene.
Now head back to Headquarters with Shun-Min and Retso in your party. Exit to
the outdoor area and a scene plays.
--------------------------------
Shun-Min joins along with Retso.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Chisato
Location: Nirva
Prerequisite: Bernadette must be in the party
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters.
How to Recruit:
After seeing the initial scene with Chisato on Nirva Island (and asking her to
join) speak with her again with Bernadette in your party, and after your
Headquarters have expanded (you can get back to Nirva island through the boat
at Estrise.) Near the exit of Nirva (by the boat) you'll see a scene with
Sailors and Pirates. After the scene, head back and speak with Chisato,
asking for her help again. Watch a scene, go speak with her again, and she
joins your party. Head back to the Headquarters and she officially joins you.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Yahr
Location: Nirva
Prerequisite: Bernadette must be in the party
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters.
How to Recruit:
Head to Nirva Island with Bernadette in your party. First, apparoach the ship
to the west for a short scene about "Rune Cannons" (which may be a familiar
term to you. . .) Now, go to the Inn and enter the side room. You'll find two
characters in here, Nelis and Yahr. After the scene, head back to your boat
and board it as if you were about to leave Nirva. Watch a short scene, and
allow them to come with you.
On your way home, watch a scene. Choose to head towards the Light.
You gain control in a Ship Graveyard. Save at the Save Point, and continue
north. At the intersection, go east and open the chest at the end for a WATER
RING. Head back west, and follow the path all the way into the ship.
Once inside the ship, follow the path north until you reach an intersection
near the end. Head north through the visible door, and open the chest in here
for some TAIRA ARMOR. Head back to the previous room and exit east through
a "hidden" door, that's not really hidden.
Once outside again, head south and a scene plays.
***************************************************************
Boss: Dagon
Rewards: Water Orb, Flowing Leather, Fire Sealing Piece1, Stone Of Luck
This should be a familiar enemy to some Suikoden players. This "Dagon" is
quite weak towards any type of magical based attacks, and so that is what you
should use against him. Fire and Lightning Magics work particularly well, even
from a character with low magical stats. Each casting of the level 4 spells
should do at least 1500 damage. If you keep up with a constant barrage of
magical attacks this boss will not be too difficult.
You will probably be around level 40 or higher at this point (depending on
what point of the game you are doing this quest at) and even at level 40 you
are overpowered for this boss, and the entire area as a whole. If you have a
solid tank, do not expect the boss to hurt you at all, since he tends to
prefer physical attacks.
This is more of a Mid Boss. Just note that you should not use all of your MP
in this battle, since there will be random encounters to deal with after this
fight.
***************************************************************
Watch a scene. Head southwest onto the next ship. Head east, and into the
next ship. In here, continue east and open the chest for a ROBE OF DESTINY.
Now head south through another "hidden" door. There's another chest out here
that contains some PALE MOON BOOTS. Go back inside, and take the eastern
passage.
Ouside again, watch a scene. Head north and into the next ship. In here, head
east and enter the first door to the north. Open the chest in here for a rare
BLINKING RUNE PIECE. Exit, and continue east up the stairs. On the far deck,
head west and open the chest for the WINDOW SET 8. Now head all the way east
for a scene. During this scene, be VERY carful.
***
You MUST choose "It must be destroyed!" to recruit Nelis and Yahr, or you will
miss them forever!! As tempting as the other answer is (for entertainment
purposes), it will be impossible to recruit these two characters if you answer
it.
***
After the events, you head back to Nirva Island. Ask them to join you during
the scene and they will accept. If you made a mistake during the previous
scenes and they will not join you when you ask, you need to reload, as you
have missed them PERMANENTLY.
--------------------------------
Nelis joins along with Yahr.

After you have recruited all of these characters (that was quite a few!) It's
time to continue on with the game. Head to the War Room for a scene with
Lucretia. The better answer here is . . . . (as it lengthens the scene,
though it does not influence anything else.)
After the scenes, head back up to the War Room. Select that you're ready to go

Required Party: Hero, Lyon, Zerase
Suggested Level: 40
Enemies: Godwin Soldier (Bow), Godwin Soldier (Sword)
Bosses: Alenia, Godwin Soldierx5 (Sword)
Shops: None (yet)
Items: Quad Tactic, Window Set 6, Pale Moon Casque, Blue Gate Piece, Crane
Wing Tactic, Flame Ring, Guardian Chain, Blinking Rune Piece, Triple Harmony
Epic
Characters: None
You first need to get into Doraat, and so you must fight your way.
***************************************************************
War Battle 6: -Doraat Siege-
Rewards: (Victory+) 18,000 Potch, Guardian Scarf
Battle Goal: Get [Hero] to Doraat.
Defeat Conditions: Hero or the Dahak are destroyed.
Foes: Archerx2 (HP:200), Infantry (HP:200), Spearx2 (HP:200), ArcShip x2
(HP:300), Ram (HP:300), ComShip(HP:300), Alenia (HP:300)
This will be a somewhat difficult battle. There are many enemies, and your
goal is not to kill them all, rather to get your Hero into the path of Doraat
itself. Make sure you save the Dawn Rune until you are close to Doraat so
that you can push back any enemies that surround your Hero's unit. Also, give
the Hero as many Charges as you can, so that he can reduce the damage he takes
in case someone attacks him. Lastly, and most importantly, have your ground
troops STAY AWAY FROM THE WATER! The ships around Doratt will fire at you on
the land if you get too close to them.
Like the batle in Lelcar, this battle takes place in both Land and Sea. Also
like the battle in Lelcar, you can completely ignore the sea battle if you so
desire, but it is not reccomended.
After a few rounds, a short scene plays. One group of Archers guarding Doraat
is destroyed, so you get a free 200 deaths.
Keep your party together, but keep them all to the north somewhat, while your
Hero's group is to the south. The goal is to draw the troops away from
Doraat, so if you can do that you're good. This is sometimes difficult
though, so you may just have to charge in there with your Hero and have a few
backup characters and hope for the best. Just remember that you have the Dawn
Rune and it will clear a nice path for you when you need to enter Doraat.
As you actually enter Doraat, Alenia uses a last ditch attack to try and get
you away, but it does not work. Continue the battle as you were normally.
***************************************************************
The journey through Doratt is going to be rather rough. Bring your best party
members along with plenty of medicines to keep yourself alive. Also bringing a
character like Murad to heal you after battle will help considerably.
Note: There are a lot of items in Doraat. . .But getting them now is a pain in
the ass because of the large amount of random encounters. If you don't want
to get them, you should come back later (after the events here) to obtain
them, as some are rather good.
Head through the door to the southeast (its somewhat hidden). Follow the long
path east, southeast, and up the stairs here for the QUAD TACTIC. Continue
east and follow the path all the way (its ~very~ long) for the WINDOW SET 6.
Now head All the way back to where your allies are waiting (another long walk -
_-). Once you reach them, head through the northeastern door and follow the
path through the town. There are two chests to the far northwest, which
contain a PALE MOON CASQUE and a rare BLUE GATE PIECE. At the very far south
of this area (near the water) you'll find another chest containing the CRANE
WING TACTIC. Northeast of this you'll find a FLAME RING. Head back north and
enter the large building, which seems to be the Lord's manor (AKA the Fortress)
Watch a scene in here.
***************************************************************
Boss: Alenia, Godwin Soldierx5 (Sword)
Rewards: Red Ribbon, ?Painting
Like most battles, there are many foes in this. You also must deal with
Alenia, who wields the powerful Twilight Rune. The main difficulty with the
Twilight Rune are the status effects that it can cause. Have your Hero ready
to cast his "Time of Wakening" whenever necessary.
Like always, cast as many area-of-effect spells as possible on the first
round. This should hopefully kill all, or most of, the Godwin Soldiers around
Alenia. Their combined damage will be what kills you, rather than Alenia
herself. Note that Alenia is strong versus magic though, so after killing off
the Godwin soldiers you may have to rely on physical attacks to kill her. Fire
magic and the Dawn Rune are the only magics that seem to work well on her. . .
Fortunately, Alenia does not have any particular resistence to physical
attacks, so that should be the best way to take her down.
***************************************************************
Watch a short scene. When you regain control, head through the western door.
Head south, and enter the door just south of the stairs. There's a chest in
here that contains a GUARDIAN CHAIN. Head back to the main room (where you
fought Alenia) and head through the eastern door. There is a door hidden to
the north of the stairs (hard to see) but if you go through it, there are two
chests. Open them for a BLINKING RUNE PIECE and the TRIPLE HARMONY EPIC. Head
upstairs here, and follow the path back downstairs. Approach the door for a
scene (so sad ; ;)
---------------------------------------
Duel 5: Loyalty -Hero vs Miakis-
Attack: Okay...Here I come.
Attack: Ow, ow! Now it's my turn!
Attack: Hey that really hurt, now you're going to get the same!
Attack: No! I wont give up yet!
Special: Prince, can you handle this one?
Special: Ouch that hurt, I'll get you this time!
Special: Time for you to go beddy-bye!
Special: Now I'm going to get really serious!
Defense: Ow ow, you've really got your eyes open prince!
Defense: Hey that really hurt, are you trying to make me cry?
Defense: All right prince, show me how good you've gotten
Defense: I guess I've got to be a little more careful too.
Miakis is a rather predictable enemy in the Duel, and she does not have any
particular pattern of attack. She is rather balanced, so just make sure to
watch her carefully.
---------------------------------------
Watch a scene.
Note: If you have Jeane at this point, there is a special scene you will see
with she and Zerase. It is. . .rather interesting.
Another Note: Once you finish all the events surrounding Doratt, you can
teleport back there and exit. There is a DoReMi Elf wandering around outside
the walls.

Location: The "Big Hole"
Prerequisite: Having spoke with him once before
Time to Recruit: After taking Doraat.
How to Recruit:
Head to the "Big Hole" northwest of Rainwall and speak with Levi. You'll need
to have spoken with him before to get him to join. He will join you
automatically after the battle with Doraat if you speak with him.

Prerequisite: Having recruited Levi, and having seen the scene with Norma and
Ernst in Stormfirst at the very beginning of the game.
Time to Recruit: After taking Doraat.
How to Recruit:
First, and most important, you need to have spoken with Norma at the beginning
of the game, during the Sacred games at Stormfist. When you're about to leave
Stormfist, she will ask you if you know a great Mage, and you can say you only
know some Queen's Knights, but she thanks you for the gesture. She then
leaves. After taking Doraat, you'll find Norma in Raftfleet. Head to the Inn,
and enter one of the two rooms, where you'll find Norma. Ask her to join you,
and then come back with Levi in your party. After the scenes take Norma and
Ernst to your castle and they will join you permanently.
--------------------------------
Ernst joins along with Norma.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Gavaya
Location: Raftfleet
Prerequisite: Norma, Faylen, Viki
Time to Recruit: After taking Doraat.
How to Recruit:
Bring Norma, Faylen, and Viki to speak with Gavaya in Raftfleet. With all
three in your party, watch a scene. Gavaya is near the Inn, and where Oboro's
ship is/was. He joins you automatically.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Raven
Location: Sable/Headquarters
Prerequisite: Oboro, Egbert, Taylor, and Marina
Time to Recruit: After taking Doraat.
How to Recruit:
Head to Sable and speak with the Lord, Solis, to hear of his problems. Head
back to Headquarters and speak with Oboro. Choose to try and catch him again.
Now, go speak with Egbert (he's in the Inn) and he gives you the Family Tree
Chart. Head back and speak with Oboro. Watch the scene.
Go to the Inn (at the Headquarters) and spend the night. Watch another scene,
and now you must find "Crow". Watch the scenes, and "Crow" is introduced as
Raven. Choose to keep him in jail.
After the scenes, head down to the empty room beneath the Inn (it's
near "Lelcar") and speak with Raven. Ask him to join you, and after a scene he
will.

Required Party: Hero, Lyon
Shops: Depending on characters you have recruited.
Items: None
Characters: None
When you're ready to continue on with the game, go to the War Room.
Now you must select three parties, one with Roy and Zerase, one with Kyle, and
one with the Hero, Miakis, Sialeeds, and Lyon. The Roy and Zerase party will
be the easiest party, since Zerase is a naturally overpowered character, so
you do not need to send your strongest characters to this party. Send a few
strong characters with your hero though, since his battle will be rather
rough. Kyle will probably have the hardest battle of the three parties, so
you should send most of your strongest characters with him.
You won't need more then one more mage in Roy's group, so send them all with
the Hero and Kyle. In the Hero's battle, magic will not be too useful, since
the boss is very much a tank-like character. So send your mages with Kyle and
your physical attackers with the Hero.
Watch the scenes (speaking to Kyle during the interlude gives you a. . .rather
entertaining view of Sialeeds.)

***************************************************************
War Battle 7: -New Queen's Campaign-
Rewards: (Victory+) 20,000 Potch, Spun Silver Armor
Battle Goal: Get Roy's unit to Lymsleia's position.
Defeat Conditions: Roy's unit is destroyed.
Foes: Archerx2 (HP:200), Cavalryx3 (HP:200), Spearx2 (HP:200), Zahhak
(HP:300), Alenia (HP:300), Lymsleia (HP:300)
Rather then your Hero's unit, Roy's unit will be the one playing the key role
in this battle. Once again, the goal is not too destroy the enemies, but to
get Roy up to Lym and the Knights. What you should do is have everyone but
one or two units (Roy's and another for backup) head north while Roy stays
somewhat south or in the middle area. Once all of the enemies charge your
main force, then Roy needs to make a run right through the center to the Queen.
This battle is quite easy compared to some of the previous battles, but note
that you will need to get your hands dirty this time. Fortunately, pretty
much every enemy drops a goody, and you will WANT to kill the foes here, as
you get rare items like Guardian Gloves, Rage Pieces, Mother Earth Pieces, and
so on.
The battle ends once Roy gets within atack range of Zahhak and Alenia.
***************************************************************
Watch the scene. You are thrust into three consecutive boss battles, dwhich
characters depending on whom you chose in the earlier scene with Lucretia.
***************************************************************
Boss: Alenia, Elite Soldierx3 (Sword), Elite Soldierx2 (Bow)
Rewards: None
Because of the ever-so-powerful (overpowered) Zerase, this battle is
exceedingly easy. Normally, I tend not to use her because she is so
overpowered, but because she is a required member in this battle, you will
have no problem. Use Zerase's Meteor Shower for the first few rounds to take
down nearly.
Note that Alenia is quite a bit more dangerous this time, and will
dodge/counter most every physical attack you do to her. So you'll need strong
magic spells to actually damage her effectively. Unfortunately, she takes
around half damage from magical attacks this time, as well. She is quite a
tank. She also uses Fire Magic this time around, which is not the most
dangerous, unless you have a lot of low levelled characters in this battle
party. If this is true, the key to winning is keeping Zerase alive. Having
two or three mages will help considerably as well.
***************************************************************
Watch a short scene and the battle changes to Kyle.
***************************************************************
Boss: Zahhak, Elite Soldierx3 (Sword), Elite Soldierx2 (Bow)
Rewards: None
Like Alenia, Zahhak will dodge and counter most physical attacks, so you'll
need to get rid of him with magic. Also like Alenia, he is a serious brute
and takes little damage from magic, and normal damage from physical atacks, so
you have the worst of both worlds to deal with. I suggest physical attacks, or
level 4 spells, since anything less then a level 4 spell will barely dent
Zahhak.
Of the three battles in the Queen's Campaign, this is probably going to be the
hardest, because you have no overpowered characters to back you up. Slaughter
all of the foes with area spells (Wind, Lightning, and Fire) on the first
round so that you take less damage. Hopefully you have around 3 mages with
you, so that you will be able to minimize the amount of damage you take on
this first round.
If this party is not strong, expect a few deaths.
***************************************************************
The scene changes to the Hero.
***************************************************************
Boss: Galleon, Elite Soldierx5 (Sword)
Rewards: Rage Sword Orb
Depending on how you played, this battle will either be quite easy, or a pain
in the butt. Because most of your party is chosen for you, you are rather
stuck with your choice and battle strategy. Hopefully you were able to get
Miakis at least a Killer Rune or a Magic Drain Rune (if not a Killer), to
improve her usefulness before this battle, as well as sharpen her weapons.
Quite simply, Galleon is a tank. He takes very little damage from physical
and magical attacks. He also has his Elite Soldier's to back him up, so
you'll need to get rid of them with area attacks before anything else. When
it is just Galleon, you will need to decide what your strongest attacks are
and pummel him with them. Expect this battle to last some time, since Galleon
has high HP along with the defense and magical defense. Also, if you have not
spent the time recruiting every character and getting the best gear possible,
you may need to resort to physical attacks near the end of the battle and hope
for the best.
***************************************************************
Watch the scene. Sialeeds and Lyon leave your party.

Required Party: Hero, Miakis
Shops: Depending on characters you have recruited.
Items: None
Characters: Galleon
Watch the scenes. Head to your room and watch a scene (one of the best in the
game!) with Galleon, Kyle, and Miakis.
When you regain control, head downstairs and enter the Infirmary. Watch a
scene. Note that for some time Miakis will be running around behind you
instead of Lyon. Fortunately, Miakis is excellent in battle, and can be used
as a physical attacker or a mage.
Head back up to 4F and speak with Zerase in the Sealed Room. Zweig and Lorelai
are required members of your party at this point. Head back to the War Room
and speak with Lucretia. Exit and watch another scene.
Now, if you noticed, Viki will not allow you to teleport out of the castle.
So exit to the outer edge, and act as if you were going to walk out. Watch a
scene with Galleon. Ask him to join, and he joins you as a Star of Destiny.
After all of the scenes, we need to go recruiting again.

Characters: Haswar, Isato, Urda, Eresh (Maybe), Hazuki, Cathari
Note: If you haven't been speaking with Oboro, and have not recruited him at
this point, you have permanently missed him.
--------------------------------
Character: Haswar
Location: Lunas
Prerequisite: Takamu
Time to Recruit: After the Queen's Campaign.
How to Recruit:
With Takamu in your party, head to Lunas. After recruiting Zegai you'll
originally have your first chance to speak with Isato and Urda. Urda will
lead you to Lunas and after the Queen's Campaign, head into the Oracle's
Conclave in Lunas with Urda and watch a scene with Haswar and Isato. Haswar
asks to come with you, so accept.
Now you need to bring Isato and co. out of Lunas through the secret path. Note
that you do not need Takamu in your party any longer. Near the exit, all three
join you permanently. Head back to the castle where they leave your party.
--------------------------------
Isato joins along with Haswar.
--------------------------------
Urda joins along with Isato and Haswar.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Eresh
Location: The "Big Hole," Sindar Ruins
Prerequisite: Jeane
Time to Recruit: After the Queen's Campaign.
How to Recruit:
Note: Eresh and another character share the same Star of Destiny. If you get
Eresh you will be unable to obtain this "other" character, who I will not
spoil. Let's just say he is rather...entertaining. This character joins as
the final character in the game, but only if you do not have Eresh.
------
After the Queen's Campaign ends, you'll find a note in your comment box from
Jeane. She teases you and tells you about a surprise in the ruins she took
you to.
Head towards the far end of the area before the Sindar Ruins and you'll meet
Eresh. Ask her "Is there some way we could help?" and she will join your
party.
Make your way back through Jeane's dungeon all the way to the very end where
you saw the scene with Jeane (and she joined your party) for another short
scene. Enter the newely opened tomb for a new dungeon. This will be VERY
annoying, so come prepared, and with a lot of free inventory space.
Follow the path until you reach an intersection. Head west and follow this
path until you reach a chest containing a DARK AMULET. Go back to the
intersection and continue south. Head west again here and open the chest for
a PALE GATE PIECE. Once again, head back to the intersection and continue
south.
At the next intersection, head south to find a chest containing a VOICE SET 5.
Go back to the intersection and head east. Follow this path until you reach a
STONE OF MAGIC at the very end. Not head back a bit (until you had to turn)
and examine the north wall. A secret door will open here.
This is a new (even more annoying) area. Head north immediately and open the
chest at the end for a WINDSPUN RING. Head back to the intersection and go
west until you reach another. Go north here and open the chest for a
RESURRECTION PIECE. Head back to the intersection and go south until you
reach (guess what?) another intersection. Open the chest to the west here for
an IMMORTAL MEDICINE and continue south. Follow this path for some time until
you reach another intersection. Go south and open the chest for a BLINKING
RUNE PIECE. Head back north and continue west and follow the path to the end.
Press X at the wall for a new path to be revealed.
On this new screen again, follow the path until you reach an intersection.
Take the north fork to obtain the OLD BOOK 4. Head back south and follow the
rather long path until you reach another intersection. Head north here and
you'll obtain a FOG ROBE from the chest. Head back to the intersection and go
south. Soon, you'll reach (our good friend. . .) another intersection. Go
west here and open the chest for some ARMES ARMOR. Go back and continue south.
Follow the path once again until you reach the intersection. Take the eastern
path and open the chest here for a PROSPERITY HAT. Go back and take the
northern fork. Press X at the wall to reveal a Save Point. I suggest using
it, that was some annoying dungeon -_-. Head through the path to the north.
When you enter this final room, a scene plays. Finally!
***************************************************************
Boss: Shepcesska
Rewards: Sacred Oath Epic, Cyclone Piece1, Mother Earth Piece1
I've actually heard of quite a few people having trouble with this boss, so
don't come in unprepared. I have to admit, he is QUITE nasty. He uses
Soaring Bolt on your entire party. Soaring Bolt is 900+ damage divided among
all allies, so that means you'll probably take around 150+ for each member.
Unless you have very high levels you'll want to have someone healing every
round. I personally used Kyle with a Flowing and Magic Absorb Rune for this.
The boss will cast this spell most every round, which is why he is
particularly dangerous. When you don't know what you're in for he may
actually slaughter you. Whats worse about the Soaring Bolt is that it stuns.
if it stuns all of your healers, you might have a rough time. In my own
opinion, he is, technically, harder than the final boss of the game. Though
he is not really (probably. . .), he has a high damage capacity.
I suggest NOT using Silent Lake on this boss, as tempting as it might seem.
Your characters will be silenced by this spell as well, and even with a good
tank (Galleon with a Firefly Rune, for example, makes a good tank in this
battle. You can't parry/dodge every attack this boss makes, its impossible)
you will take 100 or more damage an attack. Because of this, it is highly
risky to not be able to heal and be taking that much damage
***************************************************************
Eresh now joins your party. That was a lot of work! You still need to get out
too. . .
Note: There is a mini-boss called Hellsteed you can find in this chamber.
Fighting him is a bit difficult (he has strong area fire attacks, much like
the boss we just faced) But if you can take him down you'll get a powerful
Blood Scale Male, a Unicorn Orb (ew), a Boundary Piece1, 82,500 Potch, and 100
Party SP.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Hazuki
Location: Port Spinacks
Prerequisite: Belcoot
Time to Recruit: After the Queen's Campaign.
How to Recruit:
Take Logg's boat to Port Spinacks, walk over the loooooong bridge (its at the
far south) to reach the western side of Spinacks. Over here, you'll find
Hazuki. Speak to her -without- Belcoot in your party, and tell her that you
know Belcoot. Come back to her with Belcoot in your party. After a short
scene, Hazuki will join you.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Cathari
Location: Port Spinacks/Hershville
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After the Queen's Campaign
How to Recruit:
Take Logg's boat to Port Spinacks, and then find the man near the Save Orb.
Speak with him and he tells you about Hershville Naval Base.
After learning about this, head back to your boat, and talk to him like you
want to go back to your base. This time, however, he asks you where you want
to go. Answer Hershville Naval Base.
You will find Cathari near the exit to Hershville Naval Base. She is in the
yellow cloak. Speak with her, and she tells you she wants to meet an old
friend. head back to Spinacks.
In Spinacks you'll meet Cathari again (she's on the long bridge separating the
sides of town.) Take her to Lucretia (you must choose to, or you will miss
Cathari) in your Headquarters.
After a short scene, Cathari will join you.
Cathari is VERY easy to miss, so it is most reccomended you get her at your
first chance.

Note: You can buy Killer Orb's in Spinacks, but I highly suggest against it.
You can win them from battles in the "Big Hole" and save 300,000 Potch.
Headjust north of where you land and you'll find two chests, which contain
some PALE MOON BOOTS and a THUNDER HELM. Also, on the far western side of town
(across the bridge) to the far north you'll find a RAGE PIECE and a STONE OF

Magical Training, Blacksmith (Level 12)
Items: DragonHorse Choker, Elementary Combat, Old Book 12, Stone of Evasion,
Sound Set 5, Thunder Piece, White Rose Brooch, Untold Clarity Epic(Downstairs)
Characters: Rania
Exit Spinacks from the far east and head southeast on the world map to find
Sauronix Castle.
When you enter Sauronix, watch a short scene. Enter the doors to the west.
There is a chest in here that contains a DRAGONHORSE CHOKER. Head back, and
head to the far north of the town. In one of the houses to the north you'll
find a chest containing the useful ELEMENTARY COMBAT (finally!) which lets
your Physical Tutor rank go up to A. Also, to the north east (not the far
northeast, just northeast) you'll find the OLD BOOK 12. In the house near here
you'll find two chests, which contain a STONE OF EVASION and the SOUND SET 5.
That's all the goodies for now, so head back to where you found the
DRAGONHORSE CHOKER and enter the large building. Watch a scene.
When you regain control, exit Craig's room into the main hall. There's a
chest to the east containing a THUNDER PIECE.
Note: If you head down the stairs at the southeastern corner of this room
you'll find another area of town (at the bottom of many sets of stairs). The
Rune Shop here has a rare Orb to sell for 300,000 Potch. If you can afford
it, it would be nice to put on a physical attacker.
Exit into the main town. After a short scene, the goal is the Deep twightlight
Forest. First, let's recruit another character though.
--------------------------------
Character: Rania
Location: Sauronix
Prerequisite: Miakis or Rahal
Time to Recruit: After visiting Craig for the first time.
How to Recruit:
Bring Miakis or Rahal to Rania's house in Sauronix (its in the northern
portion of town) for a strange scene. Exit the house for another scene. Go
back inside and speak with Rania again. Ask her to join you.
--------------------------------
After recruiting Rania, head back to Port Spinacks. Once in Port Spinacks,
exit from the -western- side this time. On the World Map, head northwest and
enter the Deep Twilight Forest.
Note: You'll find the Untold Clarity Epic and a White Rose Brooch in a secret
area of Sauronix. Head all the way down to the lowest level (from the stairs
in the southeast by the Inn) and then head all the way west once outside.
You'll eventually find a rather long set of stairs going upwards. Follow this
path all the way up, and you'll change screens. The White Rose Brooch is in
an easy to see chest, but the Untold Clarity Epic is impossible to see.
Untold Clarity is actually at the very far southeast. Here, you'll see a
Dragon Horse (who actually, is looking right at the chest). You'll need to
run around in the shadows pressing X until you find it. This is one of the
harder chests in the game to find.

Golem
Enemies [Ruins]: Bone Soldier, Magic Shield, Bronze Sun, Millioneye, Malifaux,
Unicorn Zombie
Mini-Boss [Forest]: Rock Golem (Magical Piece1, ?Statue, Earth Ring, 33,000

Items: Window Set 5, Pent Tactic, Old Book 6, Cyclone Piece, Mother Earth
Piece, Cape of Destiny, Guardian Gloves, Fujiwara Gauntlets, Golden Hammer,
Characters: LaTiDo, Killey
This is going to be rather annoying. Just expect it to be a lot of twists and
turns and random encounters. Most of the paths are hidden as well, so it will
be a pain to try and find any items.
Follow the path until you can head south down the path. At the end of this
path is the WINDOW SET 5. Head back up and continue east. Follow the path
south pressing on the eastern wall. Eventually, you'll press yourself into a
long hidden path, and at the end you'll find a PENT TACTIC (if you end up back
on the main path you went too far north and you passes the chest). Go back to
the main path, and now press against the western wall instead of the eastern
wall. Eventually, you'll find another path, and this one contains the OLD BOOK
6.
Follow the main path up (there are a lot of annoying twists and whatnot -_-)
to the very top. If you get lost, you're probably on a large O shape area and
need to head back the way you came a bit. Also about 3/4 of the way through
it is quite hard to see, but you will seem to be stuck to the left are with a
dead end and a large O to the right, but there is a path in-between these two.
When you finally reach the end (it probably takes a while -_-) continue north
to reach a Save Orb and the ruins.
Once inside the ruins, head north and open the chest for a CYCLONE PIECE. Now
head around the room in either direction and exit to the north. On the next
screen, continue north through the door.
In this new area, head east and follow the path until you reach the
intersection. Continue west here, and follow the path south until you change
screens. Continue south and open the chest for a MOTHER EARTH PIECE. Head
west and follow the path to the next screen. Open the chest here for a CAPE OF
DESTINY. Now head east and north at the intersection. Watch a scene. Open the
chests in here for some GUARDIAN GLOVES and some FUJIWARA GAUNTLETS. Head
through the door to the north.
In this new area, circle around the room either way (it doesn't matter) and
exit to the north. Open the chest here for the GOLDEN HAMMER (yay!) and head
west to the next screen. Follow this path until the intersection, and then
head east and north to find a Save Orb. Save now, and continue north to the
next screen. Watch a scene. During this scene, you will be given the option
to let Killey join you, but ONLY if you finished the events revolving Killey
earlier in the game in Agate Prison and your Headquarters.
Head north for another scene.
***************************************************************
Boss: Ancient Creeper
Rewards: Pale Gate Piece1, Silver White Robe, Cyclone Piece1, ?Painting
Finally, a single target boss! Unlike most every other boss in the game, let
this boss feel the full force of your powers right from the get go. The boss
has high magical and physical defense though, so even with your strongest
attacks, damaging him can be somewhat difficult.
This boss likes to prefer area attacks that can do upwards 100 damage to your
entire party, as well as cause poison status. Have "Time of Awakening" ready
at all times in case many characters get poisoned at once, since poison will
kill you faster than the bosses attacks will. Also have an area-of-effect
healing spell ready, such as from the Shield Rune or Kindness Drops from a
Water/Flowing Rune.
Don't let anyones HP get below 200 or so. Even though the boss is slow the
poison will kill you quickly.
***************************************************************
Continue north to the next screen for a scene. After the scene, you need to
exit the ruins the way you came. At the end of the ruins, ask Killey to join
you (and if you did everything right) he will.
--------------------------------
Character: Killey
Location: Forest of Twilight -- Ruins
Prerequisite: Having seen the events with Killey before the Queen's Campaign
Time to Recruit: In the Forest of Twilight Ruins
How to Recruit:
After getting your Headquarters, you need to put Lorelai and Cius in your
party. Head to Agate Prison (from Baska Mines) with these two in your party,
and you'll encounter Killey in one of the cells.
Head back to Headquarters, where you'll find Killey again with Zweig and
Lorelai (near the exit.) Head up to the Sealed Room for another scene. This
will trigger events later on when you can find and recruit him.
Once you reach the Forest of Twlight -- Ruins, you'll encounter Killey once
again in a cutscene. Let him join you. After you exit the ruins, ask Killey
to join you, and he will.
Killey is a missable character. If you do not meet him in Agate Prison before
the Queen's Campaign you have missed him permanently.
--------------------------------
Exit the Deep Twilight Forest.

After this scene, you must go to Sauronix. Unfortunately, we'll have to take
the long way around. Exit the War Room and watch a scene with Logg and Lunn.
You can not teleport with Viki at this point, so head to the boat and have

Once you've reached the camp, watch a scene. Gunde joins your party again.
Head northeast to where you recruited your Blacksmith to find Wabon again
(He's in yellow.) Watch a short scene with him. Wabon joins your party now.
Head slightly southeast, and examine the mining cart for another scene.
Examine it again and you'll end up in a new area of the mines. Watch a scene
and fight off the two Assassins. Logg, Gunde, and Lun leave your party. Head
west and examine the next Mine Cart to reach the next screen.
Here, continue west to another mine cart for a short scene.
***************************************************************
Boss: Raging Assassin
Rewards: Crazed Orb, Thunder Piece1
Like most assassins, the Raging Assassin sticks with Fire elemental magic and
physical attacks (along with his Shrike Rune.) He is very fast, so make sure
you heal whenever you need to at the end of every round, since you will likely
not get the chance on the next round. He has both average physical and magical
defense, so attack with whatever you feel necessary. Also, the Assassin has
low HP, so the battle will be over quickly, especially compared to the prevous
boss fight.
***************************************************************
Continue up the stairs to the west, and enter the Deep Twilight Forest. Wabon
and Gunde join you as Stars of Destiny, and Wabon leaves your party.
Unfortunately, we need to get out of this hell-hole of a forest now. Don't
worry! You're near the exit. Keep pressed against the western wall and exit
the forest.

To get back to Sauronix, we need to head back through Port Spinacks. Walk
over the long bridge to the east and exit back to the world map. Enter
Sauronix to the southeast.
Watch a short scene at the entrance. Head back to Spinacks (you can not use
the Blinking Mirror to get to your castle, don't try) and go through back to
the Deep Twilight Forest. Watch a scene in here with Roog and Rahal. You
automatically enter the bottom level of Sauronix. Roog and Rahal join your
party.
Head up the Stairs to find a FLOWING PIECE to the west. Now head all the way
southeast back to the shops (Blacksmith, Armor, etc) and head into the
Castle. Follow the northeastern path here up the many sets of stairs and
enter the Commander's (Craig's) room. Roog and Rahal join you as Stars of
Destiny.
Head back down the long sets of stairs and back to the bottom of Sauronix.
Speak with Flail and Lance (the dragons) and they will take you back to the
Wharf. Head back through Spinacks and to the Deep Twilight Forest.
In the forest, press against the eastern wall to enter the "Water Vein" in the
Baska Mines again. Take the Mine Carts back to the Dwarf Camp. Head back
through the mines to the boat, where you need to go back to your Headquarters.

Head up to the War Room. You are now given a choice on which battle to fight.
The Lelcar battle is MUCH easier than the battle in Lordlake, and that is what
I suggest you do. There is no difference in story plot of what you choose,
other than battle difficulty.
***************************************************************
War Battle 8: -Lelcar Defense Campaign 2-
Rewards: 5,000 Potch
Battle Goal: Halve total enemy forces or survive for 10 minutes.
Defeat Conditions: Hero's unit or the Dahak are destroyed, or the enemy
reaches Lelcar.
Foes: Cavalryx2 (HP:200), Rune Archer (HP:200), ComShip (HP:200), Ram
(HP:300), ArcShip (HP:300), Bahram (HP:400), Childerich (HP:300), Dilbert
(HP:300)
This battle takes place on both the ground and the water. Unlike the first
battle of Lelcar, this one does not take place in the town, rather it takes
place outside of it.
This is literally a "Protection" battle. If the enemy reaches Lelcar, the
game is over, so make sure you fend them off. You need to keep a defensive
stance somewhat away from the town, but not too far. Keep your allies close
together, and only go forward a bit, but far enough from Lelcar, so that it
takes the enemy a longer time to reach you (you only need to survive for 10
minutes.) You only need to get Godwin's troops down to 1,200, but that takes
quite a bit of work on its own. So how you want to work the battle in your
favor is your own choice.
A few things to note: When group troops are near the water, you can target
them with abilities like Barrage. But so can the enemies. So keep your
allies away from the water, but try to push the enemies near it, giving you
some free damage. This also works with abilites like Recover, and the Flowing
and Dawn Runes.
I find what works best in this battle is to focus on both the ships and the
ground units. If you take down the ships and half of the ground units, then
the battle will end and you won't have to deal with the stronger story
characters.
***************************************************************
If you chose Lelcar, skip this next War battle.
***************************************************************
War Battle 8-2: -Lordlake Defense Campaign-
Rewards: 5,000
Battle Goal: Halve total enemy forces, or survive for 10 minutes.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed, or the enemy reaches Lordlake.
Foes: Archerx2(HP:200), Infantryx2(HP:200), Cavalry (HP:200), Maha (HP:300),
Jidan (HP:300)
Unlike Lelcar, this battle takes place on the ground and the ground only.
This gives you some disadvantages because your ground troops are naturally
weaker than your ship troops (you have no Beavers, for example.)
You need to stop the enemies from reaching Lordlake at all costs. What is
best is not moving your troops too far from Lordlake, but moving them far
enough away so that when you fight off the Southern Mountain Corps they aren't
cashed into Lordlake itself. It is a delicate balance, but if you push too
far ahead you may suffer unnecessary casualties.
Of the two goals, your units will determine which is the easier. If you try
for the 10 minute goal you will need a lot of Recover or Flowing Runes to live
through the large scale assault. To get the half enemy units you will need to
have a lot of Rune Archers and skills like Charge that avoid damage. Zerase
with a Star Rune and "Extra" will help quite a bit as well. A well balanced
group of Cavalry, Archers, and Infantry is required. Two of each, though
three Archers will help.
The most dangerous foes in this battle will be the Archers. They have 2
Barrages each, which makes them quite nasty. Each other enemy you've faced
had only had 1 special ability before, so be wary of this.
Also, the first thing you'll notice is that this is pretty much an all out
brawl right from the get-go. Every single enmy will approach you, so you need
to get all of your troops up to where you plan to make your stand (probably
around the middle of the screen.) When every enemy is clumped together
Zerase's Star Rune will help considerably. Also if you get your Hero right
into the center of the fold, he and Zerase together can take out a large
amount of foes with their special abilities all together. Be caureful with
this though, because the Archers will slaughter you.
I could argue that this is one of the hardest, if not the hardest, War Battles
in the game. Pretty much everything happens at once, and right from the start
you should know if you're going to win or lose. It's all or nothing here. I
suggest going to Lelcar if you're not confident in your abilities in War.
They give the same items anyway, and the story does not change.
***************************************************************
Watch a scene.
This is a VERY important decision. If you choose to stay and protect your
castle, a certain character will die and it will be IMPOSSIBLE to get 108
Stars of Destiny. Therefore, the better choice is to flee your castle.
Choose "Okay, let's go with your plan!" and continue the scene when you're
ready.

party members. Certain characters (such as Viki) are not available at this
point, unfortunately.
Take the Mining Cart (to the southeast) back to the Deep Twilight Forest.
From the forest, head back through Spinacks to the Sauronix side. But head
southeast of Sauronix to find Gordius. You can not enter Gordius with any
women in your party at all, unfortunately. So take all women from your party
and your Entourage when trying to enter.

After a short scene, enter the house just south of you to find the OLD BOOK
13. Now head all the way south to the "Lair Entrance" for a scene. Nick, Ax,
and Yoran join the party. Head back into the town, and enter the house to the
far west (it's somewhat hard to see) for a great scene.
When you gain control, head south down the sloping stairs until you reach the
bottom for a scene. Enter the Dragon Horse Lair (press up against the wall by
the waterfall).
Once in the Dragon Horse Lair, head north and save your game. Follow the path
until you reach an intersection, where you should head all the way west until
you reach the end. There are two chests here that contain some SPUN SILVER
ARMOR and the SOUND SET 2. Go back to the intersection and head east to find
a second intersection. Head east here to find a PALE MOON NECKLACE. Go back
to the intersection and head northwest. Follow this path until you reach some
large puddles of water.
At the water, head all the way west and then north to find a path up. Now on
your way back east, watch a short scene. You are forced into a battle with 4
Assassins. After the battle, Georg joins your party.
When you regain control, head north to where the Dragons where captive and
open the chest in here for the ALL-OUT STRIKE EPIC. Now we need to get out of
here, but there will be random encounters now. Follow the path out of the Lair
Entrance.
Exit Gordius and head back to the Deep Twilight Forest, where you should take
the mining carts back to the Dwarf Camp.

War Battle 9: -The Recapture-
Rewards: (Victory+) 30,000 Potch, Fog Robe
Battle Goal: Halve Total enemy forces.
Defeat Conditions: Hero's unit or Raja's unit are destroyed.
Foes: ArcShip (HP:200), ComShip (HP:200), Archer (HP:200), Maha (HP:300),
Childerich (HP:300), Jidan (HP:300)
Like many battles before this, this battle takes place on both land and in
Ceras Lake. Fortunately, the odds are more tipped in your favor at this
point, because the enemy barely has more forces than you.
Note: Dragon Horse Cavalry can go on Land AND Water, much like the Beavers.
Very useful.
You start off very far from the enemy forces, and you should also note that
you have forces on the lake. Hopefully you have a few Archers or Rune Archers
on the lake so that you can pick off the ground forces once the Ships are
taken down. Picking off enemies with Barrage from the sea is a nice way to
dent their forces without taking damage to your own.
If you pick them off with Arrows from the lake while at the same time have
your ground units slaughtering them and pushing them back up noth, you can
probably get through the battle with less than 100 Casualties if you do it
properly. Not a hard battle at all.
Note that by bringing Childerich's HP down to 1/3 total you can end this
battle prematurely as well. This is most easily done by targeting him with
spells and Barrage from the side of the lake.

After the scenes, you are given a choice. I suggest holding off on the

Childerich in my first game, because he's an evil bastard. Choosing Childerich
will have you defend Doraat, choosing the Southern Mountain Corps will have
you defend Sable.
Also, there's a few new items to get as well. Head into the -Ceras Lake Ruins-
and follow the path straight until you reach the area near the end (that has a
long vertical drop in it.) Walk down this long path to the very bottom. It's
a loooong walk down, but at the very bottom you'll find some chests containing
a SHIELD ORB, a THUNDER PIECE, and the INTERMEDIATE COMBAT.

War Battle 10: -Childerich Pursuit Battle-
Rewards: (Victory+) 35,000 Potch, Windspun Cape
Battle Goal: Get the Hero to Doraat.
Defeat Conditions: The Hero or the Dahak are destroyed.
Foes: Archer (HP:300), Rune Archer (HP:300), Cavalry (HP:300), Rune ArcShip
(HP:300), ArcShip (HP:300), ComShip (HP:300), Ram (HP: 300), Dilber (HP:400),
Bahram (HP:400), Childerich (HP:400)
Like the previous Doraat battle, you must fight this one on both land and
water. Your forces are fairly balanced of Land and Water, so make sure you
take advantage of both groups of forces. Remember certain special groups of
characters (the Dragon Calvary, Beavers, etc) can go on both land and water to
suit your needs, so make sure you use them. Also remember that you can target
land forces with your Barrage and certain spells. That will help considerably.
Like the previous battle in Doraat, the goal is to JUST get your Hero's unit
there, not to kill everyone. Killing everyone is just a bonus that gives you
treats. Be VERY careful with Dilber's unit though, he is quite strong.
Remember to save the Dawn Rune until you get close to the gates to clear a
path so that the Prince can make a run for them and end the battle.
***************************************************************
Watch a scene. Lucretia allows you to choose your party members. If you make
the wrong selection during this scene, you can always speak with her again to
choose again.
Head northeast through the city of Doraat. As you approach the Fortress a
scene plays.
***************************************************************
Boss: Bahram, Imperial Guardx5
Rewards: The Shredding S1, Resurrection Piece1, Berserk Blow S1
This is rather sad, is it not?
Bahram, like most of Godwin's troops, comes with a backup of Soldiers.
Therefore, you must get rid of them all as fast as you can. Abilities like
Maze of Steel Co-Op and multiple high level Rune spells will get rid of the
foes.
Bahram is QUITE nasty with his magic spells and high speed. He uses Ice magic
for around 150-200 to everyone, depending on magical defense. Use abilities
that stop magical attacks from hitting (such as Earth Magic) to reduce the
damage Bahram can do to your party, and make sure to heal every round with at
LEAST Shield Magic, Water Magic is better. As long as you can prevent the
magical damage and heal every round this battle is winnable.
***************************************************************
Watch a rather sad scene and you're automatically brought back to Headquarters.

Enemies: Armes Soldier (Sword), Armes Soldier (Bow)
Boss:
Items: None

Note: You can only do the Sable battle if you did not choose Doraat. Which is
the better choice? Either works, but Doraat probably has more story to it, as
Sable deals with Armes.
***************************************************************
War Battle 10-2: Armes Pursuit Battle
Rewards: (Victory+) 45,000 Potch, Windspun Cape
Battle Goal: Get Hero to Sable.
Defeat Conditions: The Hero is killed.
Foes: Cavalry x2 (HP:300), Rune Archer x2 (HP:300), Infantry x2 (HP:300),
Spear (HP:300), Archer (HP:300), Jidan (HP:400)
This battle will probably remind you a bit of the Lordlake defense, but this
time you have a goal in mind. Save your Dawn Rune casting until the very end,
as the goal is to push all the way through to Sable. Keep your party to the
north and south, while your main force remains in the center, somewhat
behind. While you draw the attention of the forces, have your Hero run for
the town.
You need to be careful with this strategy though, as there are Archers with
Barrage around the town who will push you back. Bring at least one Archer
type to protect your Prince's unit from Barrage and the other foes. The
enemies in this battle are not particularly hard, but reaching your goal can
be. Especially when constantly pushed back. Try brings Zerase with you so you
can use her Star Rune to help push multiple of them back.
All in all, this is a much harder battle than Doraat2 is, because Like
Lordlake, the fighting is everywhere and you will be inturrupted constantly. I
also highly suggest massive amounts of Rune Archers (Jeane/Eresh with Extra or
Viki as the last works well, as does a Party of Levi/Josephine/Killey) to
reduce damage done. Try to avoid having too many characters on foot, since
there are also quite a few Cavalry units.
***************************************************************
After the scenes, Lucretia allows you to choose your party members. Select
the best members you have, as you will be fighting a boss. Dinn is a required
member.
Follow the north path of Sable all the way until you can not go further, and
then head northeast, all the way east, and onto the next screen. Watch a scene.
***************************************************************
Boss: Jidan Guisu, Armes Soldierx5 (Sword)
Rewards: Vengeful Child S1, Mother Earth Piece1
Jidan, like most bosses, has his own little set of bodyguards to back him up.
Casting area of effect spells will get rid of them, but if you don't have any
of those on you, take down the sword users first, as there are far more of
than there are of Jidan.
Treat this battle like most previous battles in the past. Jidan is not a
particularly strong boss, and this battle is a rather anti-climatic way to end
the whole Armes portion of the game. I personally prefer Doraat, but Maha is
awesome. This is a nice battle for revenge if you chose to defend your castle.

last characters in the game (or the last, if you recruited Eresh earlier.)
--------------------------------
Character: Haleth
Location: Hershville/Headquarters
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After reacquiring your Headquarters from Childerich.
How to Recruit:
First, head to Hershville, and speak with Haleth on 1F of the large
Administration building. You will be blown off by him, so don't freak out. Go
back home, and head to the very bottom of your Headquarters (Level 3
Headquarters) where the Bar is (the northwestern corner or the lowest level).
Here, you will see a scene with Logg and smuggling. Now go back to Hershville
and enter the house near the Armor Shop) with Logg NOT in your party to see a
scene.
Now you'll need to wait a bit (do some quests, play some mini-games and
whatnot) and come back to Hershville. Speak to the NPC in the Administration
building where Haleth used to be and he tells you Haleth has fled. Go back to
your Headquarters, and head back down to the Tavern where you first saw the
scene with Logg about the smuggling/black market. You'll find Haleth here.
Speak with him and ask him to join you.
Haleth is a missable character, if you do not get him before taking Stormfist.
--------------------------------
After recruiting Haleth, it's time to head to Yashuna. Viki can teleport you
there, or you can take the boat.

War Battle 11: -Stormfist Siege-
Rewards: (Victory+) 60,000 Potch, Master's Garb
Battle Goal: Get the Hero to Stormfist.
Defeat Conditions: Hero of the Dahak are destroyed.
Foes: ArcShipx2 (HP:300), Rune ArcShp (HP:300), Ram (HP:300), ComShp (HP:300),
Archer (HP:300), Cavalry (HP:300), Infantry (HP:300), Dilber (HP:400),
Childerich (HP:400)
You are quite outnumbered here, but the goal is only to get the Hero to
Stormfist. Still, that is going to be quite the challenge. Remember your
trusty Dawn Rune when making a run for it near the end. . .The problem is that
there are so many characters protecting Stormfist picking them off is
difficult without a whole lot of Rune Archers and boats with Barrage.
When you start approaching the enemies, a familiar face from early in the game
shows up to help you. He adds a good 200 allies to your cause and helps you
drive back the enemies. Unfortunately, he is right in the enemies path and
may have some trouble surviving unless you run for it from the start.
Like most battles previous, this takes place on both land and water. Using
Beavers and/or the Dragon Cavalry in the water will help considerably. The
beavers are amazing in the water because of their speed and the Gnaw ability,
so I highly suggest using them.
In this battle, Archer's won't do too much good, surprisngly. This is true
because the Cavalry here tend to stay behind, and the main foes are on foot,
which is what Archers are weak to. Any type of Cavalry will be godly though,
such as the Lindwurm Mercenaries.
Note that when you finally are able to break through to the city, you feel the
true brunt of the Twilight Rune, and the battle ends.
***************************************************************
Watch a scene. Shoon -finally- joins you as a Star of Destiny. If you chose
Eresh earlier, he will be your last Star, if not, you still have one more to
go (whom you will get after these events.)
Note: I suggest bringing Richard, Belcoot, and Zegai, even if only in your
Entourage. There will be a rather entertaining argument scene about a certain
duel that is coming up if you bring them all.
After picking your party members, you need to head down into the passage. Head
directly saouth of Lucretia into the passage. This passage should look
familiar, since you took it early in the game when you were chasing the Armes
soldiers. Follow the passage to the end to the Basement. In here, enter the
Gladiator area, and you'll find the door broken down. Head west and into the
Infirmary. In here, the door to the Arena is locked, but you can -finally-
enter the central Arena, where the Prince once dueled Shoon.
Note: At this point, you can choose who you want to Duel Childerich. I
dueled him with the Prince, just for this Guide's sake, since he is the
default.
---------------------------------------
Duel 6: -Murderer- Hero vs Childerich
Attack: Gah!
Special: Gaaaahh!
Defense: Gunh Gunh Gunh Gunh Gunh. . .
Well... Childerich makes no direct comments so you have to judge him through
the emotional state he's in. His heavy breathing means that he is going to
defend, and the longer AAAAH's mean a special. He tends to prefer specials
over anything in the battle, and sometimes will special the entire battle away.
---------------------------------------
After the scene, you end up in the horrible Arena.
Head up to 2F by the stairs to the east, and head east some more. Exit to
Godwin Castle to the north.

Required Party: Hero, Shoon, Georg, Zerase
Enemies: Imperial Guard (Sword), Imperial Guard (Bow)
Bosses: Dilber, Imperial Guardx4, Sialeeds
Items: Immortal Medicine, Windspun Greaves, Royal Paradise Epic, Platinum
Hammer, Windspun Gauntlets, Blood Scale Mail, Old Book 3, Windspun Helm
Characters: None
Head north and watch a scene with Dilber.
***************************************************************
Boss: Dilber, Imperial Guardx4
Rewards: Killer Orb, Thunder Piece1, Clay Guardian S1
Unlike previous bosses, you need to not go all out on this boss fight, since
there will be many battles after this that you need to spend your MP on.
Especialy try to save your level 4 MP, so try to use Co-Ops and whatnot
instead of spamming MP on this boss.
Like most bosses, Dilber comes with some buddies. Dilber himself will probably
be the only threat, since he attacks a line of characters instead of just one
character. Earth Magic will help reduce the damage taken from attacks a bit,
but there is still some danger.
After all of the Guards are gone, take down Dilber. Dilber will parry most of
the time, so spells work better. Fortunately, Dilber will practically never
counter your attacks so you're safe to attack him, even if your attacks do no
damage.
***************************************************************
Watch the scene. From where you gain control head through the first doors and
head east. Circle around the Godwin Castle, and enter the door to the
northeast. Up here, head south at the intersection and you'll find an
IMMORTAL MEDICINE. Head north at the intersection to find some WINDSPUN
GREAVES. Head back to the intersection and head west. Head south and enter
the door just southwest (it's hidden to the side) to find the ROYAL PARADISE
EPIC. Exit this room, and circle around the room all the way to the west.
Enter the western door here for the rare PLATINUM HAMMER.
Exit this room and head head all the way west. There will be an intersection,
and go north here. Follow this path north and open the well hidden chest for
some WINDSPUN GAUNTLETS. in which you should continue west. This will be the
familir port. In the northwestern corner of this screen is a chest containing
a BLOOD SCALE MAIL. Re-enter the castle. Ignore the north and south paths at
this intersection and head back east to the far eastern intersection. If you
want to save, enter the large central area to find a save point.
Now head to the far northern area and you will find two sets of stairs and a
door. Go up the right set of stairs. Head south. The first door is locked,
but you'll find the OLD BOOK 3 in the second room.
Head to the far west side now and enter "Gizel's Room" to meet Sialeeds.
***************************************************************
Boss: Sialeeds
Rewards: Gale Orb
Sialeeds tends to prefer magic over physical attacks, so using spells like
Canopy Defense will protect you from her Twilight Rune. The Rune causes
mainly negative status effects, so make sure you have Time of Awkening Ready
to cast at all times. Having your main healer asleep can really cause some
problems when trying to survive.
Sialeeds has weak physical defense, so attacking her with physical attacks
will work over magical attacks. She doesn't tend to evade or counter either,
so as long as you can avoid negative status attacks you should be fine.
***************************************************************
After the battle, there are still some items to get, and we need to get out of
the dungeon. Enter the room north of Gizel's and open the chest for the
WINDSPUN HELM. Head back downstairs for a scene.
Head back upstairs with Lorelai, and enter the door that was once locked (the
northeastern door) for a scene. Head back downstairs for another scene.

Headquarters -- The Night Before the Decisive Battle
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Required Party: Hero
Shops: Depending on characters you have recruited.
Items: None
Characters: Euram
Exit your room, wander around a bit, and then head back to your room for a
scene.
After the scene, you now have access to Rainwall, and the VERY last character
in the game!
--------------------------------
Character: Euram
Location: Rainwall
Prerequisite: Not having obtained Eresh.
Time to Recruit: After taking Stormfist, and seeing the scene of the
liberation of Rainwall
How to Recruit:
After the liberation of Rainwall, have Viki teleport you to Rainwall. Speak
with Euram in the Barows Mansion. Follow him upstairs, where he will then join
your army.
You can ONLY get Euram if you did not get Eresh earlier in the game, because
they share the same Star of Destiny.
--------------------------------
Head back to the War Room...make sure you have all the characters you want to
recruit at this point!
Watch a scene in the War Room. During this night scene, it's fun to go around
speaking with everyone, especially some of the story characters (Zerase,
Zweig, and Haswar have some rather interesting conversation. . .)
Entering Sialeeds' room nets you with a scene, so don't forget to check that
out.
Head downstairs to speak with Lyon for a scene as well.
After that scene, it opens up a conversation with Galleon and Silva, revealing
a bit more of their relationship.
There's a scene with Georg outside on the middle level, this is a good scene
to watch and is very heartwarming.
Near Viki on 1F you'll find a scene with Gavaya.
The Dragon Cavalry has a scene for you to watch as well.
When you're done speaking with everyone, watch the scenes. Head up to the War
Room.

Sol-Falena Siege

Required Party: Hero
Enemies: None
Bosses: Sialeeds
Items: None
Characters: None
***************************************************************
War Battle 12: -Sol-Falena Siege-
Rewards: (Victory+) 80,000 Potch, Karaya Armband
Battle Goal: Get the Dahak into Sol-Falena.
Defeat Conditions: The Dahak [is] Destroyed.
Foes: Cavalry (HP:300), Rune Archerx3 (HP:300), ArcShp (HP:300), Rune ArcShp
(HP:300), Ram (HP:300), ComShip (HP:300), Zaahak (HP:500), Alenia (HP:500)
This time, it's mostly an all out ship battle, with only a few ground forces.
Beavers and Dragon Cavalry are useful since they can go on both land and water
when needed.
Well, ideally, you only need to get the Dahak into Sol-Falena. So
technically, you will not need to deal with the ground forces at all if you
are fast enough. Make a mad dash right through the center with the Dahak and
clear a path with the other characters, and use the Star Rune (Zerase) near
the end on the last enemies to make them run away. That will give you a clear
entry to Sol-Falena, if you want to take the quick way through the battle.
You can of course, kill the enemies normally and get their treats though. So
it all depends on how you want to win the battle. Making a direct charge
towards the port will win the battle more quickly, but also net you with less
gifts.
This battle is not difficult, as long as you keep your party together, and
break the passage open for the Dahak.
***************************************************************
Head downstairs off the Dahak (add some party members with Luserina) and exit
the Dahak. Speak with Logg and Lun who will take you to Sol-Falena.
***************************************************************
Boss: Sialeeds (Part 2)
Rewards: Magic Bracelet
Once again, Sialeeds uses the Twilight Rune like crazy, so abilities like
Canopy Defense will work to your advantage to protect you from status effects
that it can cause. Protecting yourself against statuses and being able to cure
status effects is imperative to winning against Sialeeds.
The most damaging ability Sialeeds has is an area ability that will hit all of
your members with damage ranging from 100-300 (or more depending on magical
defense). Being able to reduce damage, or protect yourself from this this
attack is imperative to stopping character deaths. If you're using Georg,
he'll probably end up dead from one hit of this spell.
The same with the last battle, Sialeeds tends to be weaker towards physical
attacks than magical attacks. In fact, she takes around half damage from even
the strongest magical attacks, so physical attacks are definitely the way to
go. Unfortunately, she also tends to evade your physical attacks more, yet
being a long range character, she will not parry and counter.
***************************************************************
Watch the scenes.
***************************************************************
War Battle 13: -Sol-Falena Siege 2-
Rewards: (Victory+) 100,000 Potch, Fortune Piece
Battle Goal: Get the Hero to Sol-Falena.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed.
Foes: Ram (HP:300), ComShipx2 (HP:300), Rune ArcShip (HP:300), ArcShpx2
(HP:300), Rune Archer (HP:300), Spear (HP:300), Zahhak (HP:500), Alenia
(HP:500)
This battle will mainly be a pain because of the lack of saving between the
Sialeeds battle and this one (hopefully you were able to save on the Dahak
before this battle though.) Another thing that is somewhat a pain about this
battle is the lack of control you have over your units. Most of your units
you are stuck with at least 1-2 characters, so you can't make your own.
Putting two Ram type units on the right side of your characters (in the water)
will help considerably, since there are three archers. All archers are weak
to Rams. Anything less than two Rams will make this -extremely- difficult to
survive if you have less than two Recovers. Its possible, but hard.
This battle takes place on a rather small area, so your ground troops are
extremely limited, much like the battle in Lelcar. Because of this small area,
the "Charge right through to the end and use the Dawn Rune" strategy will not
work to reach the Sun Palace.
Also, you may have some trouble with the ship battles, since the ships
outnumber you considerably. The ground battles will be easy, since you
outnumber the enemy until you reach Alenia and Zahhak. And once you reach
Alenia and Zahhak, all you need to do is have a few characters distract them
while your prince runs into the palace. Easier said than done, but possible
nonetheless.

Required Party: Hero, Miakis, Lyon

Items: Sun Ring, Advanced Magic
Speak with Luserina to change party members.
Note: Luserina will remain in Sol-Falena from here on out, and will NEVER head
back to your Headquarters. So if you want to do some mini-quests like the Bath
scenes you are going to have to run back and forth from Sol-Falena to the
Castle.
From Sol-Falena city, head all the way north to the Palace Plaza. Continue
north into the Palace. In the central Palace, watch a scene.
***************************************************************
Boss: Zaahak, Alenia
Rewards: Viper Orb, Lion Orb
This time it's not only Zaahak or Alenia, but both together. For the final
fight we must take them both down. Both Alenia and Zaahak have rather high
defense, so damaging them with physical or magical attacks can be difficult,
but it is nothing extrodiary.
Alenia likes to use fire magic over physical attacks, so protecting any weaker
Magic Defense characters (like Georg) from magic will help considerably. Both
characters are very good with Parrying and Countering, so normal physical
attacks are somewhat risky if you do not have the armor to defend against
their counterattacks.
Do not go all out in this battle, as there is a consecutive battle with the
two right after this.
***************************************************************
Boss: Raging Zaahak, Raging Alenia
Rewards: Soaring Bolt Scr1, SilverWhite Emblem, Rage Piece1
Now it's the real deal. Most of what was said above applies to here as well,
except now both have even higher defense towards physical attacks, so magical
attacks are the way to go. Make sure you keep a tank in your front lines, but
even with a strong tank, Zahhak can deal some decent damage physically.
The key is to choose who to get rid of first. Alenia, though definitely the
weaker of the two, has less HP than Zaahak (though higher magical defense) and
tends to go down faster. If you take her down quickly you can deal with the
physically stronger Zahhak who only has a single physical attack every round,
which is not too difficult to deal with.
***************************************************************
Watch the scene. Note that you can not exit Sol-Falena at this time, nor can
you stay at the Inn, unfortunately. Continue north to the Audience Chamber.
---------------------------------------
Duel 7: Victor -Hero vs Gizel-
Attack: It looks like we both got a little impatient. . .
Attack: Very nice Prince, but it's not over yet!
Special: You wouldn't let yourself get defeated in just one turn would you?
Special: Time to finish you off!
Special: Very nice...now I'll show you what I can do!
Special: Very nice, but do you think you can counter this next one as well?
Special: You should have shown me a move at least as powerful as this!
Defense: I think I felt that one a little bit...
Gizel is somewhat difficult to predict, as his Special sounds like an attack
at times. He tends to special most of the time, but if you match him, the
battle will be over before he does much other than special.
---------------------------------------
Watch the scenes. You gain control in the Sun Palace. Exit the Rune Room for
a scene. You start in your familiar room in Sol-Falena. Exit, and Lyon joins
your party. Head to the Audience Chamber (where you used to meet your mother
during the opening sequences) for a scene.
Note: Two rooms east of the Prince's, you'll find the Storage Room from the
beginning of the game. The chests have refilled at this point, and now
contain a SUN RING and the ADVANCED MAGIC. Also, speaking to the Maid in
Sialeeds' room will give you some insight to the story.
The goal is Lunas, but there is a side area you can go to to get some fun
items at first.

The West Palace is in much the same location that the East Palace is, except
to the West. Unfortunately, the game does not allow you to exit to the west,
so you need to teleport to Stormfist and walk east along the road there.
The goodies found in West palace include a WINDSPUN RING, a WINDSPUN CAPE, the
ADVANCED COMBAT, the ILLUSION TACTIC, and the ZEN SWORD EPIC.

Note: From here on, if you are not on a New Game+, you can not use Georg in
your party. Sorry.
Head into the Oracle's Conclave and exit the far western side. Head south
down the stairs, and follow the slope through the door into the Purification
Fountain. Watch a scene. Isato and Haswar leave your party. Head north

Follow the path east for a scene, and save at the Orb. At the intersection,
take the eastern path, and then head south. Follow this path along the path
until you reach the far eastern wall. Follow this path north until you can
head west, where you open can the chest for a DRAGON INSCENCE. Go back to the
intersection and continue west and go north when you can. Open the chest up
here for a HUNTER ORB. Head back and continue west until you can go north
again. Follow the path northeast over the gap.
Over here, press against the eastern wall and head all the way east (across
the first intersection) until you can go south. Open the chest here for a
BLINKING RUNE PIECE. Now head back west to where you first entered this
second area, and continue west and southwest (pressing against the
southwestern wall). You'll eventually come across another chest, this one
containing some MIXED HERBS. Head north, and follow the northeastern path and
you'll come across the ruins, which is where you need to be.
---
Like most Sindar dungeons, this place is going to be. . .not so fun.
We need to split into three parties (-_-) for this. Make sure each party is
capable of fending for themselves in this section, since they will need to be
fighting their own battles.
I suggest having at least one mage/healer and one tank in the group so that
you can survive with ease. Make sure that everyone has their weapons at LEAST
past level 10, level 12 will be better.
---
You start with your Hero. Set your formation and follow the eastern path
through the door. Switch parties with the O button, since you can't go
further. ---
Once again, set your formation and follow the path through the door. Switch
parties.
---
Set your formation and follow the path through the door. Continue north and
step on the switch. After doing this, head north and open the chest for some
SUN BOOTS. Now head east and stop once you see one of those switch doors, and
switch parties twice.
---
In control of Lyon's party, head north and you're brought up to the next
level. Step on the switch up here. Continue north (you'll go down) and
follow the path to the chest at the end for a GRAY HAT. Head back to where you
went down, and right to the west of it you'll find a door. Change parties
here to your Hero's.
---
Controlling the Hero's party, head north and up the path. Continue north, and
down. Keep going north until you step on a switch. Switch back to Lyon's
Party.
---
Back in Lyon's Party, head west and Up. Continue north and step on the
switch. Have Lyon continue east and go Down. Keep going east until you can go
east no longer and switch parties to Zweig.
---
With Zweig, head east through hte newely opened path. Go up, and continue
east, down, and you'll reach an intersection. Go south and step on the switch
at the end. Open the chest for some ROYAL GARB. Head back north to the
intersection and take the northern fork. Go up the "elevator," continue north
and west, go down, go north, open the chest for some SUN ARMOR. Continue
west and step on another switch. Head north all the way and switch parties.
---
In control of the Hero, head north and Up. Continue west and follow the path
until you go down. Head east and change parties.
---
In control of Lyon, head east and go up. Follow the path north and west until
you go down. Here, head west and open the chest for some SUN GLOVES. Head
back to the intersection (you'll need to go back up and down) and head North.
Step on the switch here and change back to your Hero's party.
---
Back controlling the Hero, head east, up, continue east, and step on the
switch. Continue north and down. Head west and open the chest for a FANTASY
HALF COAT. Head back to the intersection and continue north, where you should
change to Lyon's party.
---
Controlling Lyon, head through the newely opened northern path and you are
forced to fight a boss.
***************************************************************
Boss: Girtabulu
Rewards: Immortal Medicine, Tachibana Greaves
Hopefully you have a decent party here. I suggest characters who can use Earth
spells if you do not have the best armor for everyone, since Earth magic is
good for preventing damage. The boss has very strong physical attacks, so make
sure you either have a decent tank, or you have someone healing every single
round (I actually had Lyon tanking it, and with decent gear she was taking
around 250 damage ; ;)
The boss has strong physical and magical defense, so denting him will be
rough. Either works, though the boss pretty much halves damage from all
magical attacks.
Also note that the boss has one really -really- nasty move that targets all
party members. Depending on the gear you got for your party (it so expensive
to get the best for everyone, so its doubtful everyone has it), it will
probably do around 200 or more to your -entire- party as well as causing the
horrid Stun status. If everyone get's stunned, you may end up dead if you're
weak.
***************************************************************
Killing the boss is much like a switch in itself. But continue north into the
ruins with Lyon first. Follow the path to the next screen. Lyon is now
finished (finally!)
---
You automatically switch to Zweig. Heal your party up, and head north into the
square.
***************************************************************
Boss: Gudalim
Rewards: Immortal Medicine, Wind Ring
Once again, the strategy here depends on your battle party. I actually had
the easiest time with this boss because I had all of my overpowered characters
in this party. This boss is still very strong physically though, even with a
great tank, and can do some decent damage. He tends to rely on physical
attacks, and it very slow. Fire magic does not work as well on him as it
should, but Lightning works fine.
Like the previous boss, this one has an area attack. This one is not as nasty
though, and will probably only do around 100 to all members. It also does not
cause Stun. Keep your HP above 250 at all times.
***************************************************************
Head north into the Ruins again. Follow the path and you automatically switch
to the Hero.
---
Head north into the square to encounter the final of the three mini-bosses.
***************************************************************
Boss: Enmesharra
Rewards: Immortal Medicine, Water Ring
This boss deals with Line-type attacks and has incredibly physical defense and
average magical defense. It also has very high speed, so expect it to attack
before you. The main problem with this boss is its high stats, defense,
speed, and magical defense. Try using Earth Magic (Earthquake) on it to
hopefully stun it for a round to prevent damage.
This battle is much of a mix between the previous two, except, all in all, a
bit harder.
***************************************************************
Continue north into the ruins. Follow the path into the central room where
everyone meets up.
---
Choose your party (note that EVERYONE has been healed) but note that it can
ONLY be chosen of the people you have brought with you. I suggest bringing
quite a few people, just in case.
Rearrange your party, and head north. Speak with Dolph, it's time to get
revenge! I suggest Duelling Lyon against him, just because it fits the story
more.
---------------------------------------
Duel 8: Rivalry -Lyon vs Dolph-
Attack: In your condition, this should be enough to do you in.
Attack: Well well, what a surprise, I didn't think you'd be able to counter
that!
Special: Still standing huh? Will you be able to handle this?
Special: You did very well, I guess I should stop going easy on you. . .
Defense: Let me give you the chance to realise the shape you're in . . .
Defense: The more time you waste the more pain you'll be in you know!
Dolph is very, very hard to predict. He is quite vague with his comments and
it's easy to confuse them for one another. Also note that Dolph has another
Special other then what I have here, but I wasn't able to mark it down on
time, it's close to the "Still standing Huh?" though.
---------------------------------------
Watch a scene. Continue north into the next room.
***************************************************************
Boss: [Final Boss] Sun Rune Incarnation, Guardian Heat Spring, Guardian Light
Spring
Rewards: None
Fun Fact: Falena means Moth in Italian, and that's why the final boss is a
moth.
Each of the three targets has its own separate attacks and abilities, though
they all have around the same defense.
I suggest using Earth spells (Canopy Defense) that protect versus magic to
stop the damage on the first few rounds of battle. If you have two-three
damageless rounds, then you can probably win with less problem than if you are
struggling right from the outset.
This battle is not really hard, it is just long. Ignore the Sprites, unless
you are using area-of-effect attack. The boss will just regenerate them the
turn after you kill them, so there is really little point in killing them in
the first place. As long as you can focus on the final boss itself (the Sun
Rune Incarnation) while ignoring the other foes, you will be fine.
The key thing to worry about is the main bosses attacks. They attack a large
line of characters for some decent damage (upwards to 200) so if you can
protect yourself from the damage then you'll be okay. Any characters with
magic defense minus Runes will be slaughtered by the boss in this battle, so
be absolutely sure to take off those runes before entering the battle. Also,
low magical defense characters will not do too well here.
If you have decent levels and gear, this is a surprisingly easy battle,
especially compared to the previous three battles.
***************************************************************
There are a few endings. If you choose to go with Georg is one, going back
home is another (which is considered the "True" ending) and also the endings
without getting 108 Stars of Destiny.
A few things to note about the ending: If you were too mean to Lym at the
beginning of the game, you will not be given the option to return home to the
Sun Palace, and instead will be forced to go onto the journey with Georg.
===============================================================================
--- War Battles ---
===============================================================================
The War Battles in this game are rather few. Some people are glad of this,
others are sad, but they are all required, and thus, this section exists.
***************************************************************
War Battle 1 -The Defense of Rainwall-
Rewards: (Victory+) 5,000 Potch, Hungry Wolf Tactic
Battle Goal: Destroy all enemies.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed.
Foes: Infantry x2(100 HP), Archer (100 HP)
Note: Try to reduce casualties in War Battles as much as possible. It will
affect your recruitment of a character later on as well as how much Potch you
recieve after the battle ends.
The game gives you very basic units in this battle. With Sialeeds, you have a
Rune Archer, with Boz you have a Spearman, and with your Hero/Leon you have an
Infantry. You will also have two NPC Infantry to control as well.
This War game, like the Duels, are a rock-paper-scissors. The Infantry Units
deal more damage to Archer types, but are weak towards Calvary (there are no
Calvary in this battle.) The Archer Types are strong versus Calvalry but weak
versus Infantry. Calvary Units are strong versus Infantry, but weak versus
Archery.
Also, remember to note each special skill. In this battle, Hero/Lyon has 3
Charges. Charge allows you to damage the enemy without damaging yourself.
This is an extremely useful ability. Sialeeds has Cyclone, which is much the
same as Charge, except that it is magic. Remember to use these skills, but
also remember that you have them limited in number.
The battle goal here is rather simple: destroy all foes. You must also not
allow your Heroes group to be destroyed, but because he has the ability to use
Charge three times, this is unlikely. Also, try to exploit your enemies
weakness, while not allowing them to exploit yours. Its not too smart to have
your Archers run at the Infantry because they are weak towards ground battles.
Since this is pretty much a brawl, with the enemies immediately charging at
you, and you charging at the enemies, you need to be cautious. Send two
Infantry at the Archers, and they will take them down quickly. Attacking the
other Infantry is tricky. Use the special skill "Charge" with Boz and the
Hero/Lyon to reduce the amount of damage that you take. Also, Sialeeds can use
her Wind Rune to deal damage without taking it as well, so that will be
effective against the Infantry.
As long as you use all of the special skills you have at your disposal, the
battle will be over quickly. this is more of a tutorial War Battle than
anything else.

War Battle 2 -Intercepting Lugor's Fleet-
Rewards: (Victory+) 6,000 Potch, Luck Ring
Battle Goal: Halve Brahm's ship's HP or neutralize all others.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed or the Dahak is destroyed.
Foes: Ram (HP: 150), ComShip x2 (HP: 150) ArchShip x2 (HP: 150), Bahram (HP:
200)
This time, you have quite a bit more caracters to control. Ship battles work
much the same as the ground battles, and you should treat them as such.
Remember to not let your weakness be exploited, and always exploit the enemies
weakness.
In this battle, you have control of 7 ships, including the large Dahak. The
enemy also has quite a few ships, but after a few seconds of approaching you,
a few ships will sink, and Braham's fleet will be effectively halved. This
makes the battle considerably easier for you.
There are two goals in this battle. One is two halve the HP of Bahram, the
second is to kill every ship other than Bahram. While killing Bahram is the
easier choice, you should also note that you will get some rare items, such as
a Flowing Piece, from the other ships when killed. You will also sustain more
casualties when fighting more enemies.
One thing to note is that Boz will do the most damage to Bahram. Since he is
your only Ram at this point, he should continually charge at Bahram. Boz will
also remain useful when taking on most of the other ships as well, so make
sure to use him effectively. I also highly suggest being careful with your
ComShips in this battle, as they will almost be detrimental because there is
nothing that they are strong against here.
***************************************************************
***************************************************************
War Battle 3 -Rainwall Defense Campaign Part 2-
Rewards: None
Battle Goal: Draw the Enemies in the Southern Forest.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed.
Foes: Archer (HP: 100), Infantry (HP: 100), Calvalry (HP: 100), Dilber (HP:
100)
Unlike the previous battles, the goal here is not to approach your enemies at
all. You need to head south down into the forest. After a few seconds of all
of your troops "fleeing" into the forest, Dilber will comment that you are
fleeing. This shows that you are doing the right thing. Once your entire
army is in the forest, starts heading west. It's somewhat hard to see, but
you can head west under the mountains.
Once you reach the point under the mountains, a scene plays. At this point,
STOP! Don't go any further. This portion of the battle is over, and you have
won.
***************************************************************
War Battle 4 -Rainwall Defense Campaign Part 3-
Rewards: (Victory+) 8000 Potch, Guardian Boots
Battle Goal: Halve Jidan's force's HP or destroy all other units.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed.
Foes: Calvary x3 (HP: 200), Jidan (HP: 300)
You have an ally in Dilbert now. At Lucretia's suggestion, DO NOT MOVE YOUR
ARMY! Leave them where they are, and let your allies do all the dirty work.
This will save you casualties. If you find your allies slaughtered, then and
only then should you go into the battle. The deaths of your allies do not
count against you in both your total score, and for recruiting a certain
character.
To win this battle, you need to either halve the HP of Jidan (Archers work
best, so you can use Rune Mages from your party, if you're willing to risk
it...Josephine and Sialeeds in a party together will give you three spells to
work with) or kill everyone else. Killing everyone else will give you more
rewards (such as a Lancer Armor) than just going after Jidan, but it will
also be quite a bit harder.
Since the Calvary in Dilber's army will get literally slaughtered by Jidan,
you may need to have one person act as a decoy while everyone else, hopefully,
is able to run at Jidan himself. If you do choose to bring your own army into
it, make sure that you don't send just one party in alone, make sure that they
have backup. You don't want unneccesary casualties.
The battle ends with either half of Jidan's HP gone (easiest done with Rune
Magic) or taking everyone else but Jidan out.
***************************************************************
***************************************************************
War Battle 5: -Hatred Fortress Siege-
Rewards: (Victory+) 12,000 Potch, Thunder Helm
Battle Goal: Destroy all enemies.
Defeat Conditions: Hero's unit or the Dahak are destroyed.
Foes: ComShip x3 (HP: 200), ArcShip x3 (HP: 200), Ram x2 (HP: 200)
Once again, the goal of this battle is not to kill all enemies on screen even
though the game tells you to. After killing a select number off (when your
foes have around 500 left), the battle will automatically end. They key to
winning this battle is to having a nice balance of Archers (Rune Archers are
nice...), Rams (you should have two, Boz with one and Lordlake's party in the
second) and ComShips.
The enemies are a nice balanced set, so make sure that you are able to counter
any foe at any time. It will help to have at least two of each type of ship.
Also, while keeping your characters close together, clustering them in one
large pile is a bad idea because they will just slow each other down.
They key thing to remember in this battle is your battle skils. Skills like
Recover will be invaluable at any time, as is Barrage. Also remember that you
have the Dawn Rune to use now, which will be excellent.
They key in this battle is keeping your characters separated from one another
and making sure you don't gain the attention of all of the enemies at once.
This is hard at times, but doable if you're careful. When it does become an
all out brawl (it will, eventually) you need to make sure that you have a wide
selection of ship types to choose from so that you can always exploit the
enemies weakness and protect your own.
***************************************************************
***************************************************************
War Battle 6: -Defending Lelcar-
Rewards: (Victory+) 15,000 Potch, Guardian Chain
Battle Goal: Push enemy ground forces back from Lelcar.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed.
Foes: Infantry (HP:120), Spear (HP:150), Archerx2 (HP: 150), Cavalry (HP:150),
Zahhak (HP:200), Rune ArcShp (HP:200), ArcShp (HP:200), ComShip (HP:200), Ram
(HP: 200)
This will be the largest war battle yet, and will be extremely annoying since
you have so many units to control so spread out from each other (both land and
sea units.) If you are having trouble, press select to pause it, and
choose "View Map" to move the cursor while it's paused and then unselect where
you want to control your characters at. This makes it quite a bit easier to
execute commands.
With your ground units, the largest danger is getting stuck on the bridge.
This is a common occurence and will cause both sides to get slaughtered, and
the less deaths the better. The bridge will stop your characters from running,
so make sure that you do not move onto it to intercept the ground army.
To win this battle, all you need to do is severly damage Zahhak's unit, but if
you do that, you'll miss out on all sorts of other goodies. Also note that you
actually don't even HAVE to deal with the ship part of the battle if you
finish the ground portion quickly enough, since the ships are far enough away
that it takes quite some time for your opponents to reach them. That is your
choice though, since you get goodies for killing the ships.
Remember to effectively use skills like Charge and your Rune Magic to make
your enemies run. Also, play defensive. DO NOT approach the second bridge
unless you want to die, since you will get caught and slaughtered on it. The
Dawn Rune will be especially helpful when the enemies are clustered together
on the bridge, so don't be afraid to use that.
***************************************************************
***************************************************************
War Battle 7: -New Queen's Campaign-
Rewards: (Victory+) 20,000 Potch, Spun Silver Armor
Battle Goal: Get Roy's unit to Lymsleia's position.
Defeat Conditions: Roy's unit is destroyed.
Foes: Archerx2 (HP:200), Cavalryx3 (HP:200), Spearx2 (HP:200), Zahhak
(HP:300), Alenia (HP:300), Lymsleia (HP:300)
Rather then your Hero's unit, Roy's unit will be the one playing the key role
in this battle. Once again, the goal is not too destroy the enemies, but to
get Roy up to Lym and the Knights. What you should do is have everyone but
one or two units (Roy's and another for backup) head north while Roy stays
somewhat south or in the middle area. Once all of the enemies charge your
main force, then Roy needs to make a run right through the center to the Queen.
This battle is quite easy compared to some of the previous battles, but note
that you will need to get your hands dirty this time. Fortunately, pretty
much every enemy drops a goody, and you will WANT to kill the foes here, as
you get rare items like Guardian Gloves, Rage Pieces, Mother Earth Pieces, and
so on.
The battle ends once Roy gets within atack range of Zahhak and Alenia.
***************************************************************
***************************************************************
War Battle 8: -Lelcar Defense Campaign 2-
Rewards: 5,000 Potch
Battle Goal: Halve total enemy forces or survive for 10 minutes.
Defeat Conditions: Hero's unit or the Dahak are destroyed, or the enemy
reaches Lelcar.
Foes: Cavalryx2 (HP:200), Rune Archer (HP:200), ComShip (HP:200), Ram
(HP:300), ArcShip (HP:300), Bahram (HP:400), Childerich (HP:300), Dilbert
(HP:300)
This battle takes place on both the ground and the water. Unlike the first
battle of Lelcar, this one does not take place in the town, rather it takes
place outside of it.
This is literally a "Protection" battlke. If the enemy reaches Lelcar, the
game is over, so make sure you fend them off. You need to keep a defensive
stance somewhat away from the town, but not too far. Keep your allies close
together, and only go forward a bit, but far enough from Lelcar, so that it
takes the enemy a longer time to reach you (you only need to survive for 10
minutes.) You only need to get Godwin's troops down to 1,200, but that takes
quite a bit of work on its own. So how you want to work the battle in your
favor is your own choice.
A few things to note: When group troops are near the water, you can target
them with abilities like Barrage. But so can the enemies. So keep your
allies away from the water, but try to push the enemies near it, giving you
some free damage. This also works with abilites like Recover, and the Flowing
and Dawn Runes.
I find what works best in this battle is to focus on both the ships and the
ground units. If you take down the ships and half of the ground units, then
the battle will end and you won't have to deal with the stronger story
characters.
***************************************************************
***************************************************************
War Battle 9: -The Recapture-
Rewards: (Victory+) 30,000 Potch, Fog Robe
Battle Goal: Halve Total enemy forces.
Defeat Conditions: Hero's unit or Raja's unit are destroyed.
Foes: ArcShip (HP:200), ComShip (HP:200), Archer (HP:200), Maha (HP:300),
Childerich (HP:300), Jidan (HP:300)
Like many battles before this, this battle takes place on both land and in
Ceras Lake. Fortunately, the odds are more tipped in your favor at this
point, because the enemy barely has more forces than you.
Note: Dragon Horse Cavalry can go on Land AND Water, much like the Beavers.
Very useful.
You start off very far from the enemy forces, and you should also note that
you have forces on the lake. Hopefully you have a few Archers or Rune Archers
on the lake so that you can pick off the ground forces once the Ships are
taken down. Picking off enemies with Barrage from the sea is a nice way to
dent their forces without taking damage to your own.
If you pick them off with Arrows from the lake while at the same time have
your ground units slaughtering them and pushing them back up noth, you can
probably get through the battle with less than 100 Casualties if you do it
properly. Not a hard battle at all.
***************************************************************
***************************************************************
War Battle 10: -Childerich Pursuit Battle-
Rewards: (Victory+) 35,000 Potch, Windspun Cape
Battle Goal: Get the Hero to Doraat.
Defeat Conditions: The Hero or the Dahak are destroyed.
Foes: Archer (HP:300), Rune Archer (HP:300), Cavalry (HP:300), Rune ArcShip
(HP:300), ArcShip (HP:300), ComShip (HP:300), Ram (HP: 300), Dilber (HP:400),
Bahram (HP:400), Childerich (HP:400)
Like the previous Doraat battle, you must fight this one on both land and
water. Your forces are fairly balanced of Land and Water, so make sure you
take advantage of both groups of forces. Remember certain special groups of
characters (the Dragon Calvary, Beavers, etc) can go on both land and water to
suit your needs, so make sure you use them. Also remember that you can target
land forces with your Barrage and certain spells. That will help considerably.
Like the previous battle in Doraat, the goal is to JUST get your Hero's unit
there, not to kill everyone. Killing everyone is just a bonus that gives you
treats. Be VERY careful with Dilber's unit though, he is quite strong.
Remember to save the Dawn Rune until you get close to the gates to clear a
path so that the Prince can make a run for them and end the battle.
***************************************************************
***************************************************************
War Battle 11: -Stormfist Siege-
Rewards: (Victory+) 60,000, Master's Garb
Battle Goal: Get the Hero to Stormfist.
Defeat Conditions: Hero of the Dahak are destroyed.
Foes: ArcShipx2 (HP:300), Rune ArcShp (HP:300), Ram (HP:300), ComShp (HP:300),
Archer (HP:300), Cavalry (HP:300), Infantry (HP:300), Dilber (HP:400),
Childerich (HP:400)
You are quite outnumbered here, but the goal is only to get the Hero to
Stormfist. Still, that is going to be quite the challenge. Remember your
trusty Dawn Rune when making a run for it near the end. . .The problem is that
there are so many characters protecting Stormfist picking them off is
difficult without a whole lot of Rune Archers and boats with Barrage.
When you start approaching the enemies, a familiar face from early in the game
shows up to help you. He adds a good 200 allies to your cause and helps you
drive back the enemies. Unfortunately, he is right in the enemies path and
may have some trouble surviving unless you run for it from the start.
Like most battles previous, this takes place on both land and water. Using
Beavers and/or the Dragon Cavalry in the water will help considerably. The
beavers are amazing in the water because of their speed and the Gnaw ability,
so I highly suggest using them.
In this battle, Archer's won't do too much good, surprisngly. This is true
because the Cavalry here tend to stay behind, and the main foes are on foot,
which is what Archers are weak to. Any type of Cavalry will be godly though,
such as the Lindwurm Mercenaries.
Note that when you finally are able to break through to the city, you feel the
true brunt of the Twilight Rune, and the battle ends.
***************************************************************
***************************************************************
War Battle 12: -Sol-Falena Siege-
Rewards: (Victory+) 80,000 Potch, Karaya Armband
Battle Goal: Get the Dahak into Sol-Falena.
Defeat Conditions: The Dahak [is] Destroyed.
Foes: Cavalry (HP:300), Rune Archerx3 (HP:300), ArcShp (HP:300), Rune ArcShp
(HP:300), Ram (HP:300), ComShip (HP:300), Zaahak (HP:500), Alenia (HP:500)
This time, it's mostly an all out ship battle, with only a few ground forces.
Beavers and Dragon Cavalry are useful since they can go on both land and water
when needed.
Well, ideally, you only need to get the Dahak into Sol-Falena. So
technically, you will not need to deal with the ground forces at all if you
are fast enough. Make a mad dash right through the center with the Dahak and
clear a path with the other characters, and use the Star Rune (Zerase) near
the end on the last enemies to make them run away. That will give you a clear
entry to Sol-Falena, if you want to take the quick way through the battle.
You can of course, kill the enemies normally and get their treats though. So
it all depends on how you want to win the battle. Making a direct charge
towards the port will win the battle more quickly, but also net you with less
gifts.
This battle is not difficult, as long as you keep your party together, and
break the passage open for the Dahak.
***************************************************************
***************************************************************
War Battle 13: -Sol-Falena Siege 2-
Rewards: (Victory+) 100,000 Potch
Battle Goal: Get the Hero to Sol-Falena.
Defeat Conditions: Hero is killed.
Foes: Ram (HP:300), ComShipx2 (HP:300), Rune ArcShip (HP:300), ArcShpx2
(HP:300), Rune Archer (HP:300), Spear (HP:300), Zahhak (HP:500), Alenia
(HP:500)
This battle will mainly be a pain because of the lack of saving between the
Sialeeds battle and this one (hopefully you were able to save on the Dahak
before this battle though.) Another thing that is somewhat a pain about this
battle is the lack of control you have over your units. Most of your units
you are stuck with at least 1-2 characters, so you can't make your own.
Putting two Ram type units on the right side of your characters (in the water)
will help considerably, since there are three archers. All archers are weak
to Rams. Anything less than two Rams will make this -extremely- difficult to
survive if you have less than two Recovers. Its possible, but hard.
This battle takes place on a rather small area, so your ground troops are
extremely limited, much like the battle in Lelcar. Because of this small area,
the "Charge right through to the end and use the Dawn Rune" strategy will not
work to reach the Sun Palace.
Also, you may have some trouble with the ship battles, since the ships
outnumber you considerably. The ground battles will be easy, since you
outnumber the enemy until you reach Alenia and Zahhak. And once you reach
Alenia and Zahhak, all you need to do is have a few characters distract them
while your prince runs into the palace. Easier said than done, but possible
nonetheless.

===============================================================================
--- Duels ---
===============================================================================
---------------------------------------
Duel 1: The Sacred Games - Hero vs Shoon
Attack: Here I come!
Attack: I cant let you keep getting the best of me!
Attack: Not good enough, eh? Here I come again!
Special: I'm going to give it all I've got, be sure you're ready!
Special: Now its my turn, Ill show you what my full power is like!
Special: Here comes another one, and this time I'll do it right!
Guard: You come at me too, Prince.
Guard: I can't believe you turned my best move back on me!
Whether you win this battle or not does not affect the outcome of the game. It
is more of a duel tutorial. Remember to Attack when Shoon Guards, Guard when
he Specials, and Special when he Attacks.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
Duel 2: The Dawn Rune - Hero vs Chuck
Attack: That was nothing, but you're really gonna get it now!
Attack: I'm really gonna pound you, so get ready!
Special: This one's for the young lady!
Special: No Way!! You haven't seen the last of my strength yet!
Defend: I don't like picking on the weak.
Defend: I...I need a little break here...
Chuck tends to use a balance of attacks and defense, and it is also quite
difficult to predict what he is going to do sometimes, as his more ferocious
quotes are actually for his normal attacks.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
Duel 3: Testing - Lorelai vs Hero
Attack: Hmm...I guess I'll just warm up a little first...
Attack: You still standing? I'll hit you with another one then!
Attack: I'm still fine, I can still fight!
Special: What do you think you have to hold back or something? Don't insult me!
Special: I guess I'll settle this thing right here and now!
Special: Don't let that swell your head, I'm only just getting started!
Special: Not bad, but wait 'til you feel this!
Defense: Ugh you're stronger then I thought!
Defense: You underestimate me. . . (I didn't get this one all the way ; ;)
Defense: What did you do, give up? You gotta come at me to!
Lorelai has a huge range of attacks, and they are hard to predict at times.
Lorelai sounds like she is going to attack with she is actually defending (or
vice versa) at times as well, so you need to be careful. Though, a lot of the
time you can win this battle by defending alone because she does a lot of
Specials.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
Duel 4: Doppelanger -Hero vs Roy-
Attack: Is that the best you can do? Guess it's my turn now!
Attack: Well, I'm not going to hit you with my best moves right away am I?
Special: Hmm...maybe I'll hit you with my best moves right away!
Special: All right, this one is gonna put you outta your misery!
Special: You got me....I gotta take a break...haha! Did you really believe me?
Special: Hmph, what if I really get serious?
Special: Hmph, you think that hurts? you gotta do something more like this!
Special: Grr you really piss me off, you know that!?!
Defend: Damn you...You really got me!
Defend: What are you waiting for? Come at me!
Roy uses specials most of the time. Also, he has a fake guard with that
special, so don't play into it, make sure you read the entire text before
actually selecting the command (which is not neccessary all the time.) Roy
tends to special most of the time in this battle (seeing as his most of his
attacks are specials) though sometimes determining which are specials and
which are attacks is tricky.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
Duel 5: Loyalty -Hero vs Miakis-
Attack: Okay...Here I come.
Attack: Ow, ow! Now its my turn!
Special: Ouch that hurt, I'll get you this time!
Special: Time for you to go beddy-bye!
Special: Now I'm going to get really serious!
Defend: Ow ow, you've really got your eyes open prince!
Defend: Hey that really hurt, are you trying to make me cry?
Miakis is a rather predictable enemy in the Duel, and she does not have any
particular pattern of attack. She is rather balanced, so just make sure to
watch her carefully.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
Duel 6: -Murderer- Hero vs Childerich
Attack: Gah!
Special: Gaaaahh!
Defense: Gunh Gunh Gunh Gunh Gunh. . .
Well... Childerich makes no direct comments so you have to judge him through
the emotional state he's in. His heavy breathing means that he is going to
defend, and the longer AAAAH's mean a special. He tends to prefer specials
over anything in the battle, and sometimes will special the entire battle away.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
Duel 7: Victor -Hero vs Gizel-
Attack: It looks like we both we a little impatient. . .
Special: You wouldn't let yourself get defeated in just one turn would you?
Special: Time to finish you off!
Special: Very nice...now I'll show you what I can do!
Special: Very nice, but do you think you can counter this next one as well?
Special: You should have shown me a move at least as powerful as this!
Defend: I think I felt that one a little bit...
Gizel is somewhat difficult to predict, as his Special sounds like an attack
at times. He tends to special most of the time, but if you match him, the
battle will be over before he does much other than special.
---------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
Duel 8: Rivalry -Lyon vs Dolph-
Attack: In your condition, this should be enough to do you in.
Attack: Well well, what a surprise, I didn't think you'd be able to counter
that!
Special: Still standing huh? Will you be able to handle this.
Special: You did very well, I guess I should stop going easy on you. . .
Defense: Let me give you the chance to realise the shape you're in . . .
Defense: The more time you waste the more pain you'll be in you know!
Dolph is very, very hard to predict. He is quite vague with his comments and
it's easy to confuse them for one another. Also note that Dolph has another
Special other then what I have here, but I wasn't able to mark it down on
time, it's close to the "Still standing Huh?" though.
---------------------------------------
===============================================================================
--- Recruitable Stars of Destiny ---
===============================================================================
This section will go over the characters you can recruit that are OPTIONAL.
Note that there will be NO story characters in this section, as to avoid
spoilers. There's nothing worse then looking for a Star of Destiny and being
spoiled in the meantime. This section goes in the order of events in the
game. So if the current event has not happened yet, you will not be able to
get this Star of Destiny. These little blocks are also in the main text of
the Walkthrough.
--------------------------------
Character: Cornelio
Location: Haud Village
Prerequesite: None
Time to Recruit: After the Defense of Rainwall
How to Recruit:
Head to Haud Village and enter the large mansion to the southeast. A battle
with ReMiFa, MiFaSo, FaSoLa, SoLaTi, and LaTiDo starts. After winning the
battle, choose either option, and you must help Cornelio now. He temporarily
joins your party.
Now, you need to run around Haud village trying to catch the DoReMi elf. In
this battle, defend with your Hero and Lyon while Cornelio uses his DoReMi
Rune.
After doing this, ReMiFa and Cornelio join you.
Also note that you should not wait to long to recruit Cornelio, as he will
leave his house soon after thise first events and not come back. He is a
missable character.
--------------------------------
Note: ReMiFa and all other DoReMi elves (such as FaSoLa) are not Stars of
Destiny, rather, they are just fun little optional characters.
--------------------------------
Character: FaSoLa
Location: In a random encounter in the forest to the southeast of Rainwall.
Prerequesite: Must have Cornelio in party.
Time to Recruit: After the Defense of Rainwall
How to Recruit:
With Cornelio in your party, run around the forest to the very far southeast
of Rainwall. I found him in one tree closest to the river. Have your other
characters in the battle defend while Cornelio uses his DoReMi Rune. This
will recruit the little green bugger.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Sairoh
Location: Raftfleet, Inside the Trading Post
Prequesite: None
Time to Recruit: After the Defense of Rainwall
How to Recruit:
Sairoh is a hard character to get, if not the most annoying in the game.
First, you need to get him to ask you to lower the price of Salt. This can be
a pain as it is. The first chance he will do this is after you have defended
Raftfleet.
To get him to ask you to lower the price of salt, you'll have to wait until
the game RANDOMLY raises the salt price in the first place. There is no way
to control this, though you may want to try to buy all the salt out of
multiple locations and then sell it back a few times to try and influence it a
bit.
After Sairoh has asked you, you need to buy at least 6 Salts, and then wait
until the "Price of Salt has skyrocketed!" when checking the rumors in the
Trade shops. Then, sell all the salt that you have (5 or 6, to be safe) to
that shop to lower the price. Head back to Sairoh and he will join you.
Note: Sairoh is not missable, so you can recruit him throughout the game.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Shinro
Location: Raftfleet, in the Item Shop
Prequesite: None
Time to Recruit: After defending Raftfleet
How to Recruit:
After winning the battle for Raftfleet, head into the Item Shop in Raftfleet.
In there, speak with the merchant. Shinro joins you without even asking.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Egbert
Location: Baska Mines (Part 2)
Prequesite: None
Time to Recruit: After defending Raftfleet
How to Recruit:
Before attempting to get this character, it is a good idea to save. In the
darkest depths of the Baska Mines will you find our good friend, Egbert. In
this scene, you must not press the X button until the little button apeears at
the bottom right corner of the text box. Even if your text is set to instant,
the text will not immediately appear during this conversation. It is extremely
long and boring, but you will get a character out of it if you do not press
X. If you do press X, Egbert will not join, so it is best to put the
controller down during this scene.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Takamu
Location: Agate Prison
Prequesite: Must have Lelei or Cius in your party.
Time to Recruit: After defending Raftfleet
How to Recruit:
Head back to Agate Prison with Cius or Lelei in your party, and you will find
a man in the cells. Choose "Please come with me!" and Takamu will temporarily
join your party. Head north through the door, and down the stairs (as if you
were going back to the mines.) Watch the short scene, and examine the crates
and you'll recieve the extremely useful Map of Falena. Takamu then joins you.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Josephine
Location: Haud Village
Prequesite: Sialeeds in your party
Time to Recruit: After defending Raftfleet
How to Recruit:
Since the hero had "ugly" (travelling) clothes on the first time you were in
Haud, Josephine shunned you. But when you have your "Prince" clothes on, and
have Sialeeds in your party, she will finally give you some respect. Tell
her "I guess it's all right." and she will join you.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Oboro
Location: Raftfleet
Prerequisite: Have to have gone through the Investigation in Rainwall
Time to Recruit: After obtaining the Dawn Rune, before the Queen's Campaign
How to Recruit:
Oboro can be recruited in two different manners. One is that if you finish
the Investigation event with him in Rainwall (when Lucretia asks you to
investigate Barows, you speak with him after and go through with the entire
event. This event takes about 20 mintues to complete.) If you do this, Oboro
will join you immediately when you ask him in Raftfleet. However, if you did
not assist Oboro, you will need to ask him a total of 5 times to get him to
join your party. Not every time you speak with him will he give the option to
ask him, you will need to have recruited party members in the meantime.
Oboro IS a missable character, as his ship will leave Raftfleet and not return
after the Queen's Campaign. If you have not asked him 5 times before this,
then you will NEVER obtain him and the characters he comes with.
--------------------------------
Fuyo and Shigure join along with Oboro.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Zegai
Location: Lunas Village
Prerequisite: Have to have recruited Takamu, and have him in your current party
Time to Recruit: After obtaining the Dawn Rune
How to Recruit:
Enter Lunas (go to Haud Village and head northwest) from the North Tail with
Takamu in your party and he will open the path for you. Head north towards
where you originally met Logg and Lun (heading towards Lunas is useless).
After a short scene, Urda joins you. Head across the path to the west and
enter Lunas.
In Lunas, head into the Oracle's Conclave and speak with Isato. After the
scene, head upstairs and into the room Georg once inhabited to speak with
Isato again. Ask him to join you and he will not. Unfortunately, Haswar is
not here at the moment so you can not do anything.
Now, exit back to the World Map, and Ura leaves your party. Head back into the
Woods immediately, and head north once again to where you met Urda the first
time. Follow the path past Urda to the very top and you'll find your old
friend Zegai. Choose "I'm glad to see you, too." and then "Could I ask for
your help again?" and he will join your party as a Star of Destiny.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Nordon
Location: Raftfleet/Lordlake
Prerequisite: Have done the Oboro Investigation [Raftfleet], None [Lordlake]
Time to Recruit: After the Dawn Rune Events/After Obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
If you have done the investigation events with Oboro, you will find Nordon in
the Raftfleet Inn, in the room to the north of the Innkeeper (it is hard to
see if you do not press against the wall.) Speak with him and ask him to join,
and he will.
If you want to wait until later, you will find him in Lordlake, where he will
join you when you ask him.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Sorensen
Location: Estrise
Prerequisite: Need to have the scene in Babbage's Workshop
Time to Recruit: After the Dawn Rune Events
How to Recruit:
In Babbage's Workshop at Estrise, speak with Sorenson. Now, head over to the
Revolving Bridge (northwest of Rainwall) and speak with the Guard. Head back
to Estrise and speak with Sorensen again. Tell him "We want to stop the
Revolving Bridge." and watch the scene. Now Sorensen and Babbage join you
temporarily. Exit, and let Lu come with you (she's recruitable later.) She
will join your party as well. Babbage tells you to get a boat, so go back to
Raftfleet (or your Headquarters) and speak with Logg. Have him take you to
the Revolving Bridge (which is now selectable.)A battle starts soon after.
This is not a boss battle, but it is a staged battle with four Mechanical
soldiers.
Follow the path all the way west and open the chest for the ARMOR OF THE GODS
EPIC (which may or may not be your first Epic skill, depending on where you
are in the game). Head upstairs. On this next floor, first go up the eastern
stairs to find a chest containing a LIGHTNING RING. Go back downstairs, and
head up the western path to find an EQUILIBRIUM PIECE. Continue upstairs for
the SOUND SET 3. Head through the eastern door, and you'll find a boss.
***************************************************************
Boss: Differential Gear
Rewards: Steel Piece1, 18,000 Potch, 50 Party SP
The Differential Gear is another slow Boss that will attack last. He has low
magic defense and average physical defense. If you are fighting him early in
the game, however, you may find him somewhat challenging. He will have higher
physical defense than normal, so I suggest sticking with strong magical
attacks rather than physical attacks.
Having a nice strong tank out in front will help you lower damage, but the
Differential Gear does have a line type attack that will help multiple
characters. if you have mages in back, this can be dangerous, so having an
Earth Rune will help considerably.
Since this is not meant the be an extremely challenging battle, I suggest
starting off with casting a defensive Earth spell (Clay Guardian) and then
focusing on magical attacks, such a strong Thunder spells or magic from the
Dawn Rune. Any strong physical runes you might have will work fine as well.
The difficulty and length of this battle depends on the point of the game you
are at. Expect it to take a much longer time when you first are able to do it
than after you obtain your Headquarters.
***************************************************************
Continue east through the door and watch a scene. Now, head back to Estrise.
Enter Babbage's workshop again for a scene. Now, speak with Babbage (not
Sorensen) and ask him to join you. He sends Sorensen in his place.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Muroon
Location: Headquarters
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After visiting renewed Lordlake
How to Recruit:
Muroon is standing near Logg at the Headquarters. Speak with him and ask him
to join with "Why don't you stay and join us?"
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Bastan
Location: Haud Appraisal Shop
Prerequisite: Have seen the scene with him on the first visit to Haud
Time to Recruit: After obtaining Headquarters
How to Recruit:
In the Haud Appraisial Shop, you'll find Bastan. To recruit him, you need to
have a ?Painting in your inventory. If he does not immediately respon to your ?
Painting then keep cancelling out of the appraisial screen and speaking with
him. He will eventually comment to you about your painting. Then he will
join you.
You do not have to leave the building when trying to recruit Bastan, you only
need to cancel out of the recruitment screen.
You can find ?Paintings commonly from the enemies inside the Revolving Bridge
(Sorensen's Sidequest) as well as from Wyverns later on in the game.
There have been a lot of people having problems with Bastan. From what I have
seen, the main reason is because they have missed the scene with him early
on. Also note that there is no "specific" painting called the Ivanov
painting. What Bastan does is take a random painting and change it into a Key
Item.
Note: If Bastan does not seem to be taking your ?Painting, and you have seen
the with him, BE PERSISTENT! He will eventually give in.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Wilhelm
Location: Raftfleet Inn
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
Wilhelm is EXTREMELY touchy to recruit. There are a few ways to recruit him.
On your first visit/meeting in Raftfleet Inn he will only join you if your
army has not had many casualties and has had a Victory+ in the War Battle
against the Hatred Fortress. To be extra careful, bring Viki along.
Another way to have them join is later in the game with Viki in your party.
Since Wilhelm likes ladies, Viki is needed. Wilhelm moves from Inn to Inn
after each major In-Game event, so look for him then.
Wilhelm is a missable character, as his his partner Mueller.
--------------------------------
Mueller joins along with Wilhelm.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Zunda
Location: Dwarf Camp
Prerequisite: Takamu and able to enter Lunas
Time to Recruit: After obtaining Headquarters
How to Recruit:
Zunda is a Dwarf in the Dwarf Camp. She is near the exit to the northeast.
Speak with her and tell her you will show her a Window. Now, we need to go to
Lunas. If you have Takamu and were able to get Zegai earlier in the game then
you should be fine getting into Lunas. (Head to Haud and go northwest to reach
the forest if you don't remember.)
Once in Lunas, head into the Oracle's Conclave, and enter the first door to
the north. Approach the Window in here and Zunda will finally be satisfied.
She joins your cause.
A problem I've been hearing with Zunda is that when people try to recruit her,
they have not recruited Takamu, and so they can not access Lunas. In this
case, spend the night at the Inn (this makes Zunda leave) and go recruit
Takamu in Agate Prison. With Takamu in your party, head back to Zunda and now
you can take her to Lunas.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Belcoot
Location: Yashuna Village
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
You'll find Belcoot outside of the Inn in Yashuna (after visiting Lordlake.)
Speak with him and he will not join you without Marina. Now enter the Inn and
watch the scene with Marina.
Note: If Marina does not appear, go a bit farther in the game (after speaking
with Belcoot) and then come back. This should get her to appear.
After the scene, Belcoot and Marina join your cause.
--------------------------------
Marina joins along with Belcoot.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Subala
Location: Raftfleet
Prerequisite: Lun in your party
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
Head to Raftfleet, and head north of the Save Point with Lun in your party.
Watch a short scene here. Now, speak with Subala to initiate another scene.
Choose "She'll give us, uh...Energy?" and now you need to fish with her.
It is rather easy to win the mini-game, and once you win, she will join you.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Alhazred
Location: Yashuna Village
Prerequisite: You MUST have seen the scene with him in Rainwall
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
First, you need to have seen the scene with him in Rainwall.
Next, head to Yashuna Village and go to the second Inn (the far east) and head
upstairs. Up here, enter the room near the stairs for a short scene. You
will recieve the Strange Book.
After recieving this book, head back to your Headquarters, and put it into
Storage (with Chuck.)
After some time (go battle, recruit characters, or go along with a story
event) speak with Chuck and he will give you BACK the book.
Go back to Yashuna Village and head back to the second Inn where you
originally met the man who gave you the Strange Book. Speak to the woman
inside and choose "I want to return a book. . ."
Now, go to Estrise (east of Rainwall) and speak with Alhazred north of the
fountain. Tell him "Actually, now that you mention it. . ." and he will
temporarily join your party.
Head back to Yashuna Village through whichever means, and head upstairs in the
second Inn again. Watch a scene.
You need to fight an optional boss now, the Book of Condemnation.
***************************************************************
Boss: Book of Condemnation
Rewards: Resurrection Piece1 16,500 Potch, 100 Party SP
The Book of Condemnation is quite slow, and tends to attack last, which is a
good thing. Unfortunately, his attacks will hit a large range of characters
(even if not for the larges amount of damage.)
Whenever the book is opened up, he will start castin Dark Based spells. Any
defensive spells work well (especially ones that nullify spells as a whole) to
reduce damage, even though the damage from the spells will not be significant
enough to warrant danger.
Casting defensive spells will help reduce damage all around (such as Clay
Guardian), and if done correctly, you will not need to heal at all. Stick with
physical attacks over magic, since the boss has a high magical defense, and
the boss will die quickly.
***************************************************************
After the battle ask him to join, and he accepts. He will give you the
Condemnation Orb as a reward.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Richard
Location: Waterfall Basin
Prerequisite: Must have Wilhelm and Mueller
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
You need to find him at the end of the Waterfall Basin.
At the end of the basin, speak with Richard. Ask him to join you, and he will
tell you that he can not. Now, head back to your Headquarters (using an Escape
Scroll helps considerably here) and speak with Mueller. Then head back to the
Waterfall Basin and speak with Richard again. He will join you this time.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Genoh
Location: Waterfall Basin
Prerequisite: Alhazred or Levi
Time to Recruit: After obtaining your Headquarters
How to Recruit:
First, head to Beaver Lodge and speak with the Beaver outside of the Elder's
Hut about the "Boss" multiple times. Now speak to Fulawafuwalu (the Elder) and
he will tell you about the Elder (if you haven't asked him to join you before,
you will need to speak with him multiple times.) Now, head into the Waterfall
Basin with Alhazred or Levi in your party, and with this character one level
below or any level higher than your hero. Head to the far end of the Basin,
and you'll find Genoh (My first thought was Genbu, because of his form). He
will only join you under the condition that the "Old" character is one level
lower or any higher than the hero.

Waterfall Basin
=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+
Required Party: Hero, Lyon
Suggested Level: 30
Enemies: Ogre Frog, Vampire Bat, Huge Legs
Boss: None
Mini-Boss: Tarantula (Mega Medicine1, Venom Orb, Eyeball Ring, 8200 Potch, 30
Party SP)
Items: Pale Moon Beads, Ressurection Piece, Voice Set 4
Characters: Richard, Genoh
Note: The Vampire Bats in this section drop Drain Pieces, so if you're looking
to make a few Drain Orbs, you should fight them for a bit.
This is an optional area that you will do to recruit to characters. Though
you can enter it earlier than this point, there is really no need, since you
can not recruit the characters there. The Waterfall Basin is southeast of your
Headquarters and the Beaver Lodge.
Follow the path until you see some rocks over the river to the east. Head
over these rocks, and across the river. Head north and open the chest here
for some PALE MOON BEADS. Now, go south until you reach an intersection.
Continue south, and head west over the rock pathway when you can. On the
other sided of the river, head west and south when you can to open a chest
containing a rare RESSURECTION PIECE. Now head back north and over the river.
Go back to the intersection and take the western path.
Follow this path until you reach the next intersection, where you should head
east and down the next path over the river. Over here, head down the eastern
path and you'll find a very well hidden chest containing a VOICE SET 4. Head
back to the intersection and go south. Follow this path, and you'll find a
save point. Continue along, and head northwest over the rocks across the
river. Head north here onto the next screen.
Speak to the man on this screen, and ask him to join you. He will not, for
now. His name is Richard, and tells you that Mueller told him to train there.
So head back to the Headquarters and speak with Mueller. Now, head all the
way back through the Waterfall Basin to where Richard is, and speak with him
again.
This time he will join you.
After recruiting Richard, level up a character like Alhazred (or wait until
you get Levi later) until they are one level lower than your main character,
or higher. Now, head to where you found Richard, and you'll meet Genoh, who
with the elder character in your party, will be recruitable. You will need to
speak with the Beavers in Beaver Lodge before this event will happen though.
+++
Lastly, to obtain a character later on you MUST bring Cius and Lorelai
(optional, but you do get some extra text) to the Agate Prison at this point.
After a short scene in the prison, Killey leaves. Head back to Headquarters,
where you'll find Killey again with Zweig and Lorelai (near the exit.) You
need to choose "Explain what?" and "Very well. . ." (If you do not at least
choose "Very Well" I believe you can miss Killey. It's just how his
personality is).
Head up to the Sealed Room for another scene. This will trigger events later
on when you can find and recruit him.
+++
Note: If you didn't bring Lorelai and Cius to Killey, but instead freed him
when you were in Agate the very first visit (you can do this, but you miss out
on some extra conversation) you can still recruit Killey in the same manner as
if you freed him later. But remember YOU CAN NOT FREE KILLEY AFTER THE
QUEEN'S CAMPAIGN. You will have missed him permanently if you did not.
--------------------------------
Character: Mohsen
Location: Lelcar/Doraat
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: Lelcar, after the battle, or after the battle in Doratt
How to Recruit:
Before the battle in Lelcar, buy around 100,000 Potch worth of armor from
Mohsen and speak with him. Finish the events around Lelcar, and speak with
him again. Choose "I'm sorry to have failed you. . ." and then you MUST not
tell him to (hypothetically) "suck it up" and ask him to join you. If you
tell him that it will be all right, he will NEVER join you, so make sure that
you ask him to join your cause. If you did not buy 100,000 Potch worth of
armor from him before the battle of Lelcar, you will have to wait until Doratt
to recruit him.
If you wait until Doratt, you need to buy 100,000 Potch worth of armor from
him there, and then speak with him and ask him to join. He will then accept
your proposal.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Taylor
Location: Headquarters
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After the battle at Lelcar.
How to Recruit:
Head to the Inn and you'll find Taylor outside. Allow him to look around the
castle and he'll move on.
You'll find Taylor again by the Sealed Room. Allow him to check it out and
he'll move once again.
Taylor's last location is by Georg's room (by where Kyle usually stands.)
Speak with him and let him check that out. Now he joins your army.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Jeane
Location: Lelcar
Prerequisite: Speaking with the Guard in "Big Hole."
Time to Recruit: After the battle at Lelcar.
How to Recruit:
First, speak with the Guard in the "Big Hole" northwest of Rainwall (go to the
Eastern Wharf and head north to get there easily.)
After speaking with him, head to Lelcar and find Jeane in the Rune Shop. Watch
a scene. If you bring Kyle, you'll get some extra text (it's worth it!).
After the scene, speak with her again and ask her to join you. Tell her that
you will "Gladly" help her. Jeane temporarily joins your party.
Head back to the "Big Hole" with Jeane.
Follow the path to the end and you'll find a new dungeon.
Note: In this dungeon enemies drop Magic Absorb Pieces, an excellent Rune that
you should use for all mages who can equip it. You may want to spend some
time farming it while you're here.
In here, follow the western path along until you reach an intersection, where
you should go west to obtain some ANKLETS OF DESTINY. Head back east and
you'll eventually reach a new intersection. Here, head south and then east
across the small platform. Continue southeast and follow the east path until
you reach another intersection. Follow this intersection west and follow the
path until you reach the two chests at the end. These contain a HOLY AMULET
and a PROSPERITY TUNIC. Head back to the intersection and take the north fork
and follow the path until you reach a large statue.
From the large statue head north and into the large building. In here, there
are two paths. Head up the stairs to the east and go up the stairs directly
west of those on the next screen for a chest containing a MOTHER EARTH PIECE.
Head back to the main room and go up the stairs to the west. In here, head up
the stairs directly to the east and open the chest for the SORCERY TACTIC.
Head back downstairs and follow the path north and through the northern door.
In here, watch a scene. Choose "Will you join us now?" and Jeane joins you as
a Star of Destiny.
There's still some more chests in the dungeon. One is on the upper level above
the entrance. It contains a MYSTIC RING. Another is in the northwestern
corner, and this one contains the DRAGON INCENSE. The last is in the
northeastern corner, and this one contains a MAGIC RING.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Murad
Location: Lelcar
Prerequisite: Having spoken to him twice before.
Time to Recruit: After the battle of Lelcar, or after the second events at
Beaver Lodge
How to Recruit:
You need to speak to Murad in a few cities before he will actually join you.
You'll find him first in Rainwall during your time there. After that he goes
to Raftfleet where you should speak with him there. Note that the windows of
times in these towns that he remains is quite short, so the moment you see him
you need to speak with him. After the battle in Lelcar you'll find him on the
Western Islet tending to the wounded. Speak with him there and he will join
if you spoke to him before. If he does not join now, you'll need to speak
with him later on after the second series of events in the Beaver Lodge.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Linfa
Location: Estrise, Yashuna, Raftfleet
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After the battle at Lelcar.
How to Recruit:
Recruiting Linfa is a three step process. Note that the first two steps can
actually be completed before the battle of Lelcar, but the last step can not
be completed until after.
First, you'll find Linfa in the Inn of Estrise. Speak with her here and she
challenged you to a game. Play her, and don't even try to win. Linfa cheats,
so don't expect to win this. After you lose 2,000 Potch, she leaves.
Now, head to Yashuna village where you'll find her again (near the water).
This time she gives you back your 2,000 Potch and leaves.
The last place you'll find Linfa is in Raftfleet, where you can recruit her.
If you don't find her there the first time, you may need to wait until a few
in-game events have passed. To get Linfa to join, ask her, and then accept her
challenge. She will join you if you win or lose, but if you lose you need to
pay 5,000 Potch.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Nikea
Location: Estrise
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After the battle at Lelcar.
How to Recruit:
You'll find Nikea at the Inn in Estrise. After a short scene with her, she
demands to duel if you want to recruit her.
---------------------------------------
Optional Duel: -Hero vs Nikea-
Attack: Okay, here I go.
Attack: Special move, ouch owie ouch...Sorry guess I cant do that one
Special: Special Move, Demba Avalanche!
Defend: Hey not bad, guess I better keep my eyes open.
Near the end of the duel, Nikea starts using her special move over and over
again, so if you just defend every round it should be an easy win. She does
not have the largest array of attacks, either.
---------------------------------------
After beating her, she will join your army.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Dongo
Location: Dwarf Camp
Prerequisite: Have given Dongo the Iron Hammer (found in Lordlake)
Time to Recruit: After gaining access to Sable
How to Recruit:
You need to give Dongo the Iron and Silver Hammers to recruit him. The Iron
Hammer is found in a chest in Lordlake, while the Silver Hammer is found in a
chest in Sable. After giving him both of these, and sharpening a few weapons,
he will join your army.
Something some people do here is that they do not give Dongo the Iron Hammer
before they have the Silver Hammer. In this case, you will need to wait until
you get a higher level Hammer (such as the Gold Hammer) to recuit him. Dongo
needs to have two hammer types given to him before you can recruit him.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Faylen
Location: Ranro Mountain
Prerequisite: Must have Roy.
Time to Recruit: After the bandit events in Sable
How to Recruit:
With Roy in your party, head to the top of Ranro mountain and speak with
Faylen and Faylon. They will say that they are bringing the stolen goods back
to Sable. If you agree to help them, and bring down the three boxes worth of
goods then they will join your party.
You can ONLY do this event if they did not join you along with Roy. To get
them to join along with Roy, answer "I'll do no such thing!" and "All I did
was clear my good name." during the scenes in Sable.
Faylen and Faylon ARE missable characters, and if you wait too long to recruit
them, they will be missed permanently.
--------------------------------
Faylon joins along with Faylen.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Nakula
Location: Sable
Prerequisite: Must have Oboro.
Time to Recruit: After the bandit events in Sable, but before the events of
the Queen's Campaign.
How to Recruit:
First, speak with the Maid in the Inn. This needs to be done before heading
much further. She'll mention the warrior on the bed is quite the fighter. Now,
wait a while, and head back upstairs to Inn at Sable, and speak with Nakula on
the bed. He will be awake and angry. Speak with him, and try to befriend him
for a scene.
When you regain control, head to Oboro's ship in Raftfleet. Speak with Oboro
for another scene. Now head back to Sable and speak with Nakula again. After
the scene (its really good!) Nakula joins your party.
There is a very short time period for getting Nakula, so right after you get
back to headquarters and see the scene in the War Room head back to Sable to
begin the series of events to recruit him.
The problem most people have with Nakula is that they don't have Oboro by the
time that you can recruit him. Yes, you do need Oboro, and you only have
until the Queen's Campaign before you've lost access to Nakula for good.
--------------------------------
Sagiri joins along with Nakula.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Isabel
Location: Estrise/Headquarters
Prerequisite: None.
Time to Recruit: After the second set of events at Beaver Lodge.
How to Recruit:
Head to Estrise and walk towards Babbage's shop in the southeastern corner of
town. Watch a scene. Exit Estrise, and head back to your Headquarters.
When you arrive back, Boz will be standing near Luserina. If he's not there,
try moving to another area and then coming back, or wait until the next story
event progresses. Speak with Boz and Luserina for a scene (you need to have
seen the scene about Rainwall being taken for this to occur.)
Now, make a party with 2-3 people and head over to Haud Village. If you do
this correctly, Luserina will comment about you going to Haud with "So few
people."
You'll find Euram near the exit to Haud (to the east.) Watch a scene.
Fight off the six Barows Soldiers here, and Isabel joins you if you choose to
fight evil together.
--------------------------------
Mathias joins along with Isabel.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Miroon
Location: Tricolor Inn, Yashuna Village
Prerequisite: Muroon and Maroon
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters
How to Recruit:
Speak with Miroon in the Tricolor Inn in Yashuna Village with Maroon and
Muroon (the two Beavers) in your party. Watch the scene. Choose to help Miroon
and she will join your party and tell you how to get to the dungeon. There's a
hidden door to the northeast of this room to reach the dungeon; you can not
see it, but if you press against the wall you will find the door. Enter the
dungeon.
Follow the path north for a short scene, and continue north through the next
door. Now follow the path all the way east and through the door for a scene.
Allow Miroon to join you.
Note: The mini-boss in this area is called a King Mantik. He is quite nasty
at low levels, but he drops some Iron Fists, a Fire Sealing Piece, and some
Crab, as well as 18,000 Potch and 40 Party SP.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Moroon
Location: Beaver Lodge
Prerequisite: Muroon, Maroon, and Miroon
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters
How to Recruit:
Head to Beaver Lodge with Muroon, Maroon, and Miroon in your party. Speak with
Meroon (nor Moroon) near rhe south end of the screen. She whines about
wanting to meet someone. Now head to Baska Mines and speak with Moroon twice
or so. head back to Beaver Lodge and speak with Meroon again. Tell her that
you have spoken with Moroon and she will ask you to take her to him. Head
back to Baska Mines and speak with Moroon. He joins your party. So head back
to Beaver Lodge for another scene.
--------------------------------
Meroon joins along with Moroon.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Byakuren
Location: Headquarters
Prerequisite: Genoh or Levi
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters
How to Recruit:
After the expansion of Headquarters, run around to the farthest lower level
with Genoh or Levi in your army. They do not need to be in your current party
at the time you kill her. You'll encounter a large Snake. Fight her off, and
if Genoh is in your army she will join you. Byakuren is a missable character,
as the only chance to recruit her is once every time the Headquarters expands,
so be careful when running along the lower levels of your Headquarters!
You can also recruit Byakuren with Levi in your army.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Babbage
Location: Estrise
Prerequisite: Sorensen
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters
How to Recruit:
With Sorensen in your party, after the Headquarters expands, head to the room
called "Gears" in your Headquarters. After the scene in here, head to Esrise
and speak with Babbage in his workshop. Watch a scene with Babbage and Lu in
here. Babbage joins your party. Head back to your Headquarters and bring
Babbage to "Gears" for another scene.
Now you need to wait for a while for Babbage to complete his work. Come back
later and he will join you, along with creating the elevator.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Lu
Location: Estrise
Prerequisite: Sorensen and Babbage
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters
How to Recruit:
After recruiting Babbage, head back to Babbage's workshop in Estrise. Bring
Sorensen to the workshop to speak with her and she will ask you to find a
gear. Find the gear near the door (its somewhat annoying) and Lu will join
your army.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Retso
Location: Raftfleet
Prerequisite: Subala
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters.
How to Recruit:
Head to the Raftfleet Inn and speak with Retso. Ask him to come to the castle
and he declines. Head back to your Headquarters and play Subala's fishing
mini-game. Catch fish until, eventually, you catch a rare fish called
a "Strange Fish." When you exit out after the match, Subala will comment
about the fish. Head back to Retso with this item in your posession.
Choose "Can you have a look at this fish?" when you speak with him for a scene.
Now head back to Headquarters with Shun-Min and Retso in your party. Exit to
the outdoor area and a scene plays.
--------------------------------
Shun-Min joins along with Retso.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Chisato
Location: Nirva
Prerequisite: Bernadette must be in the party
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters.
How to Recruit:
After seeing the initial scene with Chisato on Nirva Island (and asking her to
join) speak with her again with Bernadette in your party, and after your
Headquarters have expanded (you can get back to Nirva island through the boat
at Estrise.) Near the exit of Nirva (by the boat) you'll see a scene with
Sailors and Pirates. After the scene, head back and speak with Chisato,
asking for her help again. Watch a scene, go speak with her again, and she
joins your party. Head back to the Headquarters and she officially joins you.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Yahr
Location: Nirva
Prerequisite: Bernadette must be in the party
Time to Recruit: After the expansion of Headquarters.
How to Recruit:
Head to Nirva Island with Bernadette in your party. First, apparoach the ship
to the west for a short scene about "Rune Cannons" (which may be a familiar
term to you. . .) Now, go to the Inn and enter the side room. You'll find two
characters in here, Nelis and Yahr. After the scene, head back to your boat
and board it as if you were about to leave Nirva. Watch a short scene, and
allow them to come with you.
On your way home, watch a scene. Choose to head towards the Light.
You gain control in a Ship Graveyard. Save at the Save Point, and continue
north. At the intersection, go east and open the chest at the end for a WATER
RING. Head back west, and follow the path all the way into the ship.
Once inside the ship, follow the path north until you reach an intersection
near the end. Head north through the visible door, and open the chest in here
for some TAIRA ARMOR. Head back to the previous room and exit east through
a "hidden" door, thats not really hidden.
Once outside again, head south and a scene plays.
***************************************************************
Boss: Dagon
Rewards: Water Orb, Flowing Leather, Fire Sealing Piece1, Stone Of Luck
This should be a familiar enemy to some Suikoden players. This "Dagon" is
quite weak towards any type of magical based attacks, and so that is what you
should use against him. Fire and Lightning Magics work particularly well, even
from a character with low magical stats. Each casting of the level 4 spells
should do at least 1500 damage. If you keep up with a constant barrage of
magical attacks this boss will not be too difficult.
You will probably be around level 40 or higher at this point (depending on
what point of the game you are doing this quest at) and even at level 40 you
are overpowered for this boss, and the entire area as a whole. If you have a
solid tank, do not expect the boss to hurt you at all, since he tends to
prefer physical attacks.
This is more of a Mid Boss. Just note that you should not use all of your MP
in this battle, since there will be random encounters to deal with after this
fight.
***************************************************************
Watch a scene. Head southwest onto the next ship. Head east, and into the
next ship. In here, continue east and open the chest for a ROBE OF DESTINY.
Now head south through another "hidden" door. There's another chest out here
that contains some PALE MOON BOOTS. Go back inside, and take the eastern
passage.
Ouside again, watch a scene. Head north and into the next ship. In here, head
east and enter the first door to the north. Open the chest in here for a rare
BLINKING RUNE PIECE. Exit, and continue east up the stairs. On the far deck,
head west and open the chest for the WINDOW SET 8. Now head all the way east
for a scene. During this scene, be VERY carful.
***
You MUST choose "It must be destroyed!" to recruit Nelis and Yahr, or you will
miss them forever!! As tempting as the other answer is (for entertainment
purposes), it will be impossible to recruit these two characters if you answer
it.
***
After the events, you head back to Nirva Island. Ask them to join you during
the scene and they will accept. If you made a mistake during the previous
scenes and they will not join you when you ask, you need to reload, as you
have missed them PERMANENTLY.
--------------------------------
Nelis joins along with Yahr.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Levi
Location: The "Big Hole"
Prerequisite: Having spoke with him once before
Time to Recruit: After taking Doraat.
How to Recruit:
Head to the "Big Hole" northwest of Rainwall and speak with Levi. You'll need
to have spoken with him before to get him to join. He will join you
automatically after the battle with Doraat if you speak with him.
--------------------------------
Bergen joins along with Levi.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Norma
Location: Raftfleet
Prerequisite: Having recruited Levi, and having seen the scene with Norma and
Ernst in Stormfirst at the very beginning of the game.
Time to Recruit: After taking Doraat.
How to Recruit:
First, and most important, you need to have spoken with Norma at the beginning
of the game, during the Sacred games at Stormfist. When you're about to leave
Stormfist, she will ask you if you know a great Mage, and you can say you only
know some Queen's Knights, but she thanks you for the gesture. She then
leaves. After taking Doraat, you'll find Norma in Raftfleet. Head to the Inn,
and enter one of the two rooms, where you'll find Norma. Ask her to join you,
and then come back with Levi in your party. After the scenes take Norma and
Ernst to your castle and they will join you permanently.
--------------------------------
Ernst joins along with Norma.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Gavaya
Location: Raftfleet
Prerequisite: Norma, Faylen, Viki
Time to Recruit: After taking Doraat.
How to Recruit:
Bring Norma, Faylen, and Viki to speak with Gavaya in Raftfleet. With all
three in your party, watch a scene. Gavaya is near the Inn, and where Oboro's
ship is/was. He joins you automatically.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Raven
Location: Sable/Headquarters
Prerequisite: Oboro, Egbert, Taylor, and Marina
Time to Recruit: After taking Doraat.
How to Recruit:
Head to Sable and speak with the Lord, Solis, to head of his problems. Head
back to Headquarters and speak with Oboro. Choose to try and catch him again.
Now, go speak with Egbert (he's in the Inn) and he gives you the Family Tree
Chart. Head back and speak with Oboro. Watch the scene.
Go to the Inn (at the Headquarters) and spend the night. Watch another scene,
and now you must find "Crow". Watch the scenes, and "Crow" is introduced as
Raven. Choose to keep him in jail.
After the scenes, head down to the empty room beneath the Inn (it's
near "Lelcar" room) and speak with Raven. Ask him to join you, and after a
scene he will.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Haswar
Location: Lunas
Prerequisite: Takamu
Time to Recruit: After the Queen's Campaign.
How to Recruit:
With Takamu in your party, head to Lunas. After recruiting Zegai you'll
originally have your first chance to speak with Isato and Urda. Urda will
lead you to Lunas and after the Queen's Campaign, head into the Oracle's
Conclave in Lunas with Urda and watch a scene with Haswar and Isato. Haswar
asks to come with you, so accept.
Now you need to bring Isato and co. out of Lunas through the secret path. Note
that you do not need Takamu in your party any longer. Near the exit, all three
join you permanently. Head back to the castle where they leave your party.
--------------------------------
Isato joins along with Haswar.
--------------------------------
Urda joins along with Isato and Haswar.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Eresh
Location: The "Big Hole," Sindar Ruins
Prerequisite: Jeane
Time to Recruit: After the Queen's Campaign.
How to Recruit:
Note: Eresh and another character share the same Star of Destiny. If you get
Eresh you will be unable to obtain this "other" character, who I will not
spoil. Let's just say he is rather...entertaining. This character joins as
the final character in the game, but only if you do not have Eresh.
------
After the Queen's campaign ends, you'll find a note in your comment box from
Jeane. She teases you and tells you about a surprise in the ruins she took
you to.
Head towards the far end of the area before the Sindar Ruins and you'll meet
Eresh. Ask her "Is there some way we could help?" and she will join your
party.
Make your way back through Jeane's dungeon all the way to the very end where
you saw the scene with Jeane (and she joined your party) for another short
scene. Enter the newely opened tomb for a new dungeon. This will be VERY
annoying, so come prepared, and with a lot of free inventory space.
Follow the path until you reach an intersection. Head west and follow this
path until you reach a chest containing a DARK AMULET. Go back to the
intersection and continue south. Head west again here and open the chest for
a PALE GATE PIECE. Once again, head back to the intersection and continue
south.
At the next intersection, head south to find a chest containing a VOICE SET 5.
Go back to the intersection and head east. Follow this path until you reach a
STONE OF MAGIC at the very end. Not head back a bit (until you had to turn)
and examine the north wall. A secret door will open here.
This is a new (even more annoying) area. Head north immediately and open the
chest at the end for a WINDSPUN RING. Head back to the intersection and go
west until you reach another. Go north here and open the chest for a
RESURRECTION PIECE. Head back to the intersection and go south until you
reach (guess what?) another intersection. Open the chest to the west here for
an IMMORTAL MEDICINE and continue south. Follow this path for some time until
you reach another intersection. Go south and open the chest for a BLINKING
RUNE PIECE. Head back north and continue west and follow the path to the end.
Press X at the wall for a new path to be revealed.
On this new screen again, follow the path until you reach an intersection.
Take the north fork to obtain the OLD BOOK 4. Head back south and follow the
rather long path until you reach another intersection. Head north here and
you'll obtain a FOG ROBE from the chest. Head back to the intersection and go
south. Soon, you'll reach (our good friend. . .) another intersection. Go
west here and open the chest for some ARMES ARMOR. Go back and continue south.
Follow the path once again until you reach the intersection. Take the eastern
path and open the chest here for a PROSPERITY HAT. Go back and take the
northern fork. Press X at the wall to reveal a Save Point. I suggest using
it, that was some annoying dungeon -_-. Head through the path to the north.
When you enter this final room, a scene plays. Finally!
***************************************************************
Boss: Shepcesska
Rewards: Sacred Oath Epic, Cyclone Piece1, Mother Earth Piece1
I've actually heard of quite a few people having trouble with this boss, so
don't come in unprepared. I have to admit, he is QUITE nasty. He uses
Soaring Bolt on your entire party. Soaring Bolt is 900+ damage divided among
all allies, so that means you'll probably take around 150+ for each member.
Unless you have very high levels you'll want to have someone healing every
round. I personally used Kyle with a Flowing and Magic Absorb Rune for this.
The boss will cast this spell most every round, which is why he is
particularly dangerous. When you don't know what you're in for he may
actually slaughter you. Whats worse about the Soaring Bolt is that it stuns.
if it stuns all of your healers, you might have a rough time. In my own
opinion, he is, technically, harder than the final boss of the game. Though
he is not really (probably. . .), he has a high damage capacity.
I suggest NOT using Silent Lake on this boss, as tempting as it might seem.
Your characters will be silenced by this spell as well, and even with a good
tank (Galleon with a Firefly Rune, for example, makes a good tank in this
battle. You can't parry/dodge every attack this boss makes, its impossible)
you will take 100 or more damage an attack. Because of this, it is highly
risky to not be able to heal and be taking that much damage
***************************************************************
Eresh now joins your party. That was a lot of work! You still need to get out
too. . .
Note: There is a mini-boss called Hellsteed you can find in this chamber.
Fighting him is a bit difficult (he has strong area fire attacks, much like
the boss we just faced) But if you can take him down you'll get a powerful
Blood Scale Male, a Unicorn Orb (ew), a Boundary Piece1, 82,500 Potch, and 100
Party SP.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Hazuki
Location: Port Spinacks
Prerequisite: Belcoot
Time to Recruit: After the Queen's Campaign
How to Recruit:
Take Logg's boat to Port Spinacks, walk over the loooooong bridge (its at the
far south) to reach the western side of Spinacks. Over here, you'll find
Hazuki. Speak to her without Belcoot in your party, and tell her that you
know Belcoot. Come back to her with Belcoot in your party. After a short
scene, Hazuki will join you.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Cathari
Location: Port Spinacks/Hershville
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After the Queen's Campaign
How to Recruit:
Take Logg's boat to Port Spinacks, and then find the man near the Save Orb.
Speak with him and he tells you about Hershville Naval Base.
After learning about this, head back to your boat, and talk to him like you
want to go back to your base. This time, however, he asks you where you want
to go. Answer Hershville Naval Base.
You will find Cathari near the exit to Hershville Naval Base. She is in the
yellow cloak. Speak with her, and she tells you she wants to meet an old
friend. head back to Spinacks.
In Spinacks you'll meet Cathari again (she's on the long bridge separating the
sides of town.) Take her to Lucretia (you must choose to, or you will miss
Cathari) in your Headquarters.
After a short scene, Cathari will join you.
Cathari is VERY easy to miss, so it is most reccomended you get her at your
first chance.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Rania
Location: Sauronix
Prerequisite: Miakis or Rahal
Time to Recruit: After visiting Craig for the first time.
How to Recruit:
Bring Miakis or Rahal to Rania's house in Sauronix (its in the northern
portion of town) for a strange scene. Exit the house for another scene. Go
back inside and speak with Rania again. Ask her to join you.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Killey
Location: Forest of Twilight -- Ruins
Prerequisite: Having seen the events with Killey before the Queen's Campaign
Time to Recruit: In the Forest of Twilight Ruins
How to Recruit:
After getting your Headquarters, you need to put Lorelai and Cius in your
party. Head to Agate Prison (from Baska Mines) with these two in your party,
and you'll encounter Killey in one of the cells.
Head back to Headquarters, where you'll find Killey again with Zweig and
Lorelai (near the exit.) Head up to the Sealed Room for another scene. This
will trigger events later on when you can find and recruit him.
Once you reach the Forest of Twlight -- Ruins, you'll encounter Killey once
again in a cutscene. Let him join you. After you exit the ruins, ask Killey
to join you, and he will.
Killey is a missable character. If you do not meet him in Agate Prison before
the Queen's Campaign you have missed him permanently.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Haleth
Location: Hershville/Headquarters
Prerequisite: None
Time to Recruit: After reacquiring your Headquarters from Childerich.
How to Recruit:
First, head to Hershville, and speak with Haleth on 1F of the large
Administration building. You will be blown off by him, so don't freak out. Go
back home, and head to the very bottom of your Headquarters (Level 3
Headquarters) where the Bar is (the northwestern corner or the lowest level).
Here, you will see a scene with Logg and smuggling. Now go back to Hershville
and enter the house near the Armor Shop) with Logg NOT in your party to see a
scene.
Now you'll need to wait a bit (do some quest, play some mini-games and
whatnot) and come back to Hersehville. Speak to the NPC in the Administration
building where Haleth used to be and he tells you Haleth has fled. Go back to
your Headquarters, and head back down to the Tavern where you first saw the
scene with Logg about the smuggling/black market. You'll find Haleth here.
Speak with him and ask him to join you.
Haleth is a missable character if you do not get him before taking Stormfist.
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Character: Euram
Location: Rainwall
Prerequisite: Not getting Eresh
Time to Recruit: After taking Stormfist, and seeing the scene of the
liberation of Rainwall
How to Recruit:
After the liberation of Rainwall, have Viki teleport you to Rainwall. Speak
with Euram in the Barows Mansion. Follow him upstairs, where he will then join
your army.
You can ONLY get Euram if you did not get Eresh earlier in the game, because
they share the same Star of Destiny.

--- Speculation: "Lym Point" Guide ---
===============================================================================
Note: This entire section is speculation of my own. I would prefer it if you
did not use it, or claim it as yours. You can Email me to give me ideas for
corrections, but there is no "correct" answer for this Guide, because there is
NO tally in the game. Period. This is just meant to help you make the
correct decisions and help you get the endings you want.
I am hearing far too many people say they are forced into the "Georg" ending
when they wanted the "Lym" ending, and thus, this mini-guide came into play.
"Lym Point" is a term that I use to describe how you get a certain ending, and
also how you get certain optional scenes. If you are too mean to Lym or Lyon
during certain scenes in the game, then you will not get Lym Points. If you
are in the middle, or go the extreme right then you will be able to choose
between the two endings. According to Blue Moon, you need to have at least
12/25 Lym Points to be able to choose your endings, but I have not thoroughly
tested this myself.
Some examples that Lym Points exist:
Example: I was mean with every single comment to Lym during one game. I
teased her and sided against her whenever possible. During the 108 Stars
ending movie, I was given NO choice to help her, and the game automatically
cut to Georg. This says that there is a hidden tally of "Lym Points" in the
game that will tell you what ending you will get if you're too nasty.
Another example of "Lym Points" is a scene in Lunas. If you were really nice
to Lym, she will spend the night with you. If you were nasty, or even
moderatly mean, however, nothing will happen. This definitely suggests the
game is keeping a hidden tally of your answers.
Lyon points also exist, as shown early on. There are two versions of the
same "Lyon/Hero Bonding" scene. The Hero is given two completely different
answer sets based on how he treated Lyon in earlier scenes. One answer is for
the "Nicer" way of treating Lyon, and another is "meaner," where Lyon acts
more like a nervous bodyguard than a special friend.
This guide assumes you start at a Base of 0 Lym Points. At 12 Points,
apparently, you will have the option of choosing either ending. Answers to
Lym are on a positive and Negative Scale. If you answer Negative, however,
you will not lose points. You just do not get the point for being nice to Lym.
Look at it like this:
| - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - |
5 10 12 15 20 25
Ending A | Ending B
At 12 points, you can choose your ending.
Going too far in the Right direction assumes that you automatically get Ending
A. Ending A is considered the "Georg" Ending. Note that going too far in the
Ending B (the "Lym" Ending) direction does NOT mean that you will
automatically see the B ending. Ending B is what many consider the "True"
ending to the game, though both endings can ONLY be seen by obtaining 108
Stars of Destiny.
Once again, this is not meant to taken as completely accurate, but is meant to
help you choose what decisions you can make and not make to make sure you get
the endings you want. If you want to choose between the endings, try to stay
somewhere near the middle, or don't go to the far extreme in mean-ness.
Also, I have only 23 of the 25 points here. I have yet to find the last two,
which annoys me somewhat, even after playing through the opening a good 8
times. I will find them though!
---
What do you get for being nice to Lym, other than being able to choose your
endings?
There are two optional scenes early on you get for being nice to Lym. One
happens during your first trip to Lunas. This scene is highly debatable
because of its incestual tones (but really, unless you have a sick mind it is
not bad at all) where Lym asks to spend the night with the Prince.
The second scene is a lengthened version of the Prince's reminisces during
your second visit to Lunas. This is a great scene to watch, and I highly
reccomend it.
What do Lyon points do?
This is a harder question to answer. There is only one scene in the entire
game that is affected by Lyon points (the Lyon Bonding scene) it seems. Yet
it still seems that they are there for a reason.
I believe that they will affect the rate of chance that Lyon will guard the
Prince later on in the game. This may be completely off as well, but they have
to be there for a reason, and I'm determined to find it!
Some Frequently Asked Questions about my "Lym Points:"
---------------------
Question:
Does being too nice or too mean change the text in the endings?
---
Answer:
No. Being too mean just forces you into one ending.
---------------------
Question:
What's the point?
---
Answer:
Many people are being forced into the "Georg" ending. I personally did not
find the "Georg" ending satisfying, and I wanted to make sure other people did
not have this problem.
---------------------
Question:
Do I need to see both of the optional scenes in Lunas to be able to choose my
endings?
---
Answer:
I have not yet defined this 100%, but no, apparently. These just show that you
have more than enough points. It's good if you DO see the scenes though, as
you know you will be able to choose the ending. Don't push your luck with a
game this long and touchy.
Lyon Point:
-Scene in Lordlake Prologue, finding Toma-
Sure, I'll Wait: -1
I can't let you do that.: +1
------------------
Lym Point:
-After the scene with Arshtat/Lordlake, to Sialeeds.
Yeah, I guess I'd better.: Positive
I'm tired. Maybe tomorrow . . .: Negative
------------------
Lym Point:
-To the Maid in the Prince's Room-
Yeah, I'm tired: Negative
No, I haven't seem Lym yet. Positive
------------------
Lyon/Lym Point:
-To Kyle, after meeting him-
Sure, I'd like that: Negative
Hmm, I'd better go see Lym first. . .: Positive
------------------
Lym Point:
-To Ferid, after the scene in the Knight's Room-
I haven't seen her yet: Positive
Nope. I'll look for her tomorrow. Negative
------------------
Lym Point:
-During the scene with Lym-
I'm Home Lym: Positive
H-hey! Let go!: Negative
-----------------
Lym Point:
-Meet Miakis-
Um, hello, Miakis.: Positive
Uh, a little help?: Negative
-----------------
Lym Point:
-Lym's Husband-
Of course I'd hate it.: Positive
Not really. . .: Negative
-----------------
Lym Point:
-The Senate-
Huh? I have to go too?: Negative
Okay, lets go!: Positive
-----------------
Lym Point:
-Sleepy Sialeeds-
All right, thats enough, Auntie.: Positive
You started it Lym.: Negative (This one's somewhat hard to tell, Lym seems to
realise she made a mistake, but you still lecture her, hmmm...)
-----------------
Lym Point:
-Meet the Barows-
I can't quite disagree with them. . .: Negative?
I can't quite trust him. . .: Positive
-----------------
Lym Point:
-Sacred Games List-
Only seventy?!: Negative?
Seventy? That many?!: Positive
-----------------
Lym Point:
-Lym's Training-
Why don't you take the day off?: Negative
All right, then. Study hard!: Positive
Note: This is another hard one to judge, because both answers are rather vague.
-----------------
Lyon Point:
-What do you want to do?-
Go to town, I guess.: +1 (while not much of a comment, Lyon has a happy face
here, seeming to me you get a "Love Point")
I'm not sure. What do you want to do?: 0
----------------
Lyon Point:
-Kyle's "Training"-
Of course!: -3?
Not really.: +3?
Note: This pretty much determines your "Lyon Points" for this point. Even if
you were really sweet to Lyon in every other comment, Lyon gets really angry
during this scene, and during the later "Bonding" scene, she will give you the
less comforting and friendly speech, and the more "bodyguard" speech.
----------------
Lyon Point:
-Lyon Bonding Scene-
Note: There are actually two scenes here, depending on the choices you've made.
I guess I'll be fine then: +1
Don't worry. Nothing will happen.: 0
----------------
Lyon Point:
-Gizel Rescue-
We're fine, thank you: -1
You could have killed us!: +1
Note: Rather vague...
----------------
Lyon Point:
-Gladiators-
That's terrible.: +1
. . . . .: -1
----------------
Lyon Point:
-Gladiators 2-
He needs a doctor.: +1
. . . . .: -1
----------------
Lyon Point:
-Meet Shoon-
How Come?: 0
All Right. . .: +1
----------------
Lyon Point:
-Armes Spy-
We should check it out: 0-+1
It must be your imagination: -1
Note: Lyon seems hesitant with the positive (first) answer here, so I'm not
actually sure if you get a point or not.
-----------------
Lyon Point:
-First Duel-
It's still a fight. I want to win!: -1
I'll try not to get hurt.: +1
-----------------
Lym/Lyon Point:
-After the Duel, Miakis teasing-
Huh. I didn't know that.: Negative (this option makes it seem like A: you
don't pay attention to your sister, and B: you WANT to marry her)
Uh, Lym. . .hello?: Positive
Note: This one looks like it is both a Lym AND a Lyon point.
-----------------
Lym Point:
-Lym's Fear-
Want to go to your room and rest?: Positive
You'll have to tough it out.: Negative
Note: This one's hard to judge. Though if you pick the nastier response (the
second answer) Arshtat will back you up and Lym -somewhat- forgives you. I
suggest picking the top, because the prince smiles at Lym, thus giving
more "love" points.
------------------
Lyon Point:
-Save Belcoot-
Let's rescue him right away! +1
Let's watch and see what happens . . .: -1
------------------
Lyon Point:
-Meet Belcoot-
Us? We're just imposters.: 0
We're glad you're okay.: +1
------------------
Lyon Point:
-Going home(from the Inn)-
I thought it tasted pretty good: +1
He's quite the guy: +1
Note: The top is the better choice here, because you'll actually get two
options during this single scene.
------------------
Lyon Point:
-Going home(from the Inn)2-
Hmm. I don't really know.: -1
He's quite the guy.: +1
Note: This is connected with the previous question, and is only possible to
answer if you talked about the "food."
------------------
Lyon Point:
-Visiting Belcoot-
Sounds good to me!: +1
I'm not sure we should...: -1
------------------
Lym Point:
-Speaking to Lym before heading to find Belcoot-
Gizel: Negative
Belcoot: Positive
------------------
Lyon Point:
-Marina Kidnapped-
Let's mobilize the patrol guards.: -1
Can we take care of this ourselves?: +1
------------------
Lyon Point:
-Marina Kidnapped 2-
Leave it to us!: +1
We'll do our best: 0
------------------
Lyon Point:
-Good Morning!-
Wh-What happened to you?!: +1
Don't tell me. . .: 0
-------------------
Lyon Point:
-Breakfast time-
I did? Oh well. . .: +1
Why didn't you wake me up?: -1
-------------------
Lyon/Lym Point?:
-Final Match-
. . . .: Negative
Stop!!: Positive
-------------------
Lyon Point:
-Zegai's Truth-
I dont believe you . . .: -1
Why didn't you say so before?: +1
-------------------
Lyon Point:
-Zegai's Death?-
I would never let that happen!: +1
. . . . .: -1
-------------------
Lyon Point:
-The morning after-
You didn't, either?: +1 (empathy)
Actually, I slept like a log.: 0 to -1 (Ferid actually compliments you a few
minutes after this scene if you choose this, so I'm actually not sure what
this answer gives . . .)
--------------------
Lym Point:
-Before the Arshtat/Ferid discussion, to Miakis in Lym's room-
Of course I do!: Positive
Why do you ask that?: Negative
--------------------
Lym Point:
-Before the Arshtat/Ferid discussion, to Lym in her room-
I-I don't know what you mean. . .: Negative
Sorry, Lym, but we cant tell you. . .: Positive (respect)
--------------------
Lym Point:
-Arrival Home-
Good morning, Lym.: Positive
Hey, you can't just barge in like that!: Negative
--------------------
Lym Point:
-Raftfleet -optional, can only be done before Lunas-
I guess it'd be all right. . .: Positive
You know you can't!: Negative
--------------------
Lym Point:
-Meet Haswar-
L-Let me go!: Positive
W-Who are you?!: Negative (this is rather indirect, but Lym gets angry)
--------------------
Lyon Point:
-After the succession discussion-
You coming Lyon?: +1
We're leaving without you...: 0
--------------------
Lym Point:
-Cerempony Peeking 1-
Of course I wont.: Positive
Why would I want to peek at you?: Negative
--------------------
Lym/Lyon Point:
-Ceremony Peeking 2-
VERY Sure: Negative, +2 Lyon Points?
. . . . .: Positive, -3 Lyon Points? (Lyon doesn't like you acting like Kyle)
--------------------
Lyon Point:
-Ceremony Peeking 3-
Aren't you going to be there, Lyon?: -1
I-I was just kidding!: +1
Note: This is only selectable if you choose ". . . . ." above.
--------------------
Lyon Point:
-Strange sounds 1-
We'll go with you.: +1
All right.: -1
--------------------
Lyon Point:
-Strange Sounds 2-
On second thought, lets go with him.: +2
I'm sure He'll be fine.: -1
Note: This is only accessable if you said no the first time. You do get to
see a better scene for this though (IMO)
---------------------
Lym Point:
-Trouble Sleeping-
I don't think thats a good idea.: Negative
No, I don't mind.: Positive
Note: This scene will only be scene if you have gathered a LOT of Lym points
so far. Even if you have a moderate amount you will not see this scene.
---------------------
Lym/Lyon Point:
-Assasin Attack!-
I'm worried about mother and Lym. . .: Positive
Let's get out of here!: Negative
---------------------
Note: During the escape scenes, I do not believe it affects your "Lym"
or "Lyon" points if you choose to to run or stay behind. Because you are not
directly altering Lym's opinion of you at that time, it does not seem to
matter. And the -only- time there may be a direct effect on the Lyon points is
when you go to the extreme and keep staying behind for Lym, but even then I
don't think that it is anything negative. Quite the opposite, actually, I
think it might actually be positive, as she will respect your devotion to your
sister.
Note: There seems to be no more Lym Points from here on out.
---------------------
Lyon Point:
-Lunas Sleep-
You Should rest, too, Lyon.: +1
I want to be alone right now.: 0 to -1
---------------------
Lyon Point:
-The morning after 2-
Yeah, I guess so.: 0
What about you, Lyon? : +1
---------------------
Lyon Point:
-Lyon's Confession-
Of course!: +2-3
I'll have to think about it. . .: -2 to -3

"So Prince. . .How was it? . . .Oh come on! You know what I'm talkin' about!
The purification rite! You must have taken a peek, huh? Am I right? I'm right,
right?! Hey who looked the hottest? Well no need to ask really -- it had to be
Sialeeds! . . . You're kidding me. You DIDN'T look?! WHY THE HELL NOT?! That
was a once in a lifetime opportunity! I can't believe you passed that up!
Damn! I gotta say, you just let down every man in Falena. . ."
