                               INTRODUCTION

This is my first FAQ but hopefully not my last. I have basic ideas but I will further develop
them in the future. Good luck with this FAQ!

                               NOTES

Please read this FAQ before sending e-mails about this quest. I don't mind getting e-mails but
I don't want to be reading them all day :)

                               QUICK BATTLE TIPS

First of all make sure you have a good weapon with a percentage against Dark and Native types.
You may be wondering why I'm telling you to use a Native type weapon if you've done this quest
before. If I tell you now it might spoil a suprise. You'll need a weapon with a percentage
against Dark because Donoph who joins you gets roughed up pretty badly during the quest and it's
your job to help him out! If you're a Hunter try using a Sword or a Partisan to hit multiple
enemies. Also if you can use a Spread Needle, I'd advise it because my brother kicks butt with
that gun. If you're a Force I'd advise using spells because with your weapon I don't think
you'll be doing much damage. Also try using spells such as Rabarta and Rafoi.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

                               COMMON SENSE

Because I have supplied a map :) my walkthrough will consist of a plan which tells you the way to
go, the room numbers and what to do in there. The plan will tell you the important stuff such as
the switches to hit where to go next etc, I'm not going to tell you to walk ten steps forward
and turn to your left.

                               THE PURPOSE OF THIS FAQ

My FAQ was created to offer help with "The Retired Hunter" quest for Phantasy Star Online. Also
because when I played this quest I didn't have a clue what was happening because of the language
barriers. So I decided to use the internet to search for a FAQ to help me but could I find one?
Well the answer is no, so here is a FAQ for all the people who need help!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

                               COPYRIGHT NOTICE

                               WHAT YOU'LL NEED

The quest which you can download directly on to your VMU from Booyaka (www.booyaka.com/). There
are two files to be downloaded and these must be on the same VMU.

Now set your language to Japanese by going into the Options settings and then into the language
settings and then change the language.

You'll need the map IT IS ESSENTIAL because I have based my entire walkthrough on it if you
couldn't find it with the walkthru, you can download it from my website at the top of this FAQ

Now once you've done all the above Continue your game and talk to the woman at the desk of the
guild. Now go to the download quest part at the bottom of the list and choose "The retired
hunter" quest. If you have more than quest they will be placed in the order you downloaded them.

                               WHAT I CAN MAKE OF THE MISSION

Donoph wants to kill 99 enemies in 30 minutes in the Ruins so he hires you to help him because
he's getting a bit old. NOW IS A BIT OF A SPOILER SO JUMP DOWN TO RUINS 3 IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
READ THIS. Now after you've helped him he will leave. When you return to Pioneer 2 a Force will
ask you to do something for her in Forest 2. Don't ask me what, all I know is that you have to
access the weather control panel over the bridge.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

                               PIONEER 2

Donoph will ask you a question, reply with !!. This will lwt you access a new area later on. Now
once you've done this leg it down to Ruins 3 because of the time limit.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

                               RUINS 3

Make sure you have the map in front of you. Also make sure you kill all the enemies because that
is the VITAL part of the mission. Ok now I'll begin:

Make your way to Room 1

1.  Donoph will join you, he is level 90. Now press the switches and go to room 2.
2.  Press the buttons and go to room 3.
3.  Press the buttons and make your way to room 4 by going through room 2.
4.  Kill the enemies and go to room 5.
5.  Go through the left door of the double doors and go to room 6.
6.  Kill the enemies and go to room 7.
7.  Kill the enemies and go to room 8.
8.  Press the blue switch and make your way to room 9 by going through room 7.
9.  Kill the enemies and go to room 10.
10. Press the switch and go to room 11.
11. Kill the enemies and then double back to room 5 and then move on to room 12.
12. Avoid the traps and go to room 13.
13. Kill the enemies and go to room 14.
14. Press the switches and make your way to room 15 by going through room 13.
15. Press the green switch and make your way to room 16 by going through room 13.
16. Press the switches and go to room 17.
17. Kill the enemies and go to room 18.
18. Kill the enemies and go to room 19.
19. Press the red switch and go to corridor 20 by going through room 18.
20. Proceed to room 11 and then go to room 21.
21. Go to room 22.
22. Heal and then make your way to room 23 by going through room 21.
23. Proceed to room 24
24. Kill all the enemies and then proceed to the rooms marked 25
25. Collect the treasure :)

If you followed the steps correctly and killed all the enemies Donoph should leave after you
cleared the room before Dark Falz. Now things get a little bit more complicated...
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

                               BACK TO PIONEER 2

Now instead of going to the guild talk to the Force in yellow. If you hear a chime you've
followed my steps correctly. If you don't hear a chime you've been NAUGHTY. You should have
picked !! instead of ?? at the beginning of the quest. If you heard the chime teleport to
Forest 2. If you didn't hear the chime you'd better start again :(
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

                               FOREST 2

After you've followed my steps you'll need to help me. You'll find out more in a little while:

Ok do this part of the quest normally. You'll have to get across the bridge to access the weather
control panel but you need to find the button. Now press it and select the top choice. You may
have noticed the corridor marked in red on the Ruins 3 map (have a quick check). Now you'll see
that an area is blocked off in Forest 2. I'll come back to this part in a moment. Now return to
Pioneer 2.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

                               BACK TO PIONEER 2 AGAIN

Now teleport down to Ruins 3.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

                               RUINS 3

Walk forward a bit and you'll see some writing. I don't know what this means but I think this is
VITAL. Now return to Pioneer 2.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

                               THE FINAL CHAPTER

Now there are a few areas which are blocked, I want to access these because I can feel something
in these areas. If anyone manages to access it properly or by "walking" through the doors can
you tell me what are in these areas please. Now to finish off the mission talk to the Force and
then get your money at the guild.

                               FUTURE THOUGHTS

I am planning to write a FAQ for the quest "Letter from Lionel" and I will constantly update my
site. Thanks for reading my FAQ and good luck with your Phantasy Star Online file.
