+++++Introduction+++++[I000]+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is my first attempt at a walkthrough for GameFaQs.  This website has
greatly enhanced my gaming experiences, and I'm happy to finally give
something back to the community.  I hope to prove the hardness of my core and
the oldness of my school with this walkthrough.

This is written for the average player.  My guide will stress caution. I will
use cardinal directions.  North is up on the map. If I say something like, "Go
all the way West and South," that means, whenever you hit a junction, head
South or West. This walkthrough attempts to mark full map completion for
someone who is following the walkthrough word for word. This means that I will
tell you to take every path; however, I will mention which paths are deadends
if you wish to skip them.

Since this is my first walkthrough, I will probably be unable to keep it
completely spoiler free. Luckily, the story isn't so complex that there would
be huge spoilers anyways. If there are, I will make sure they are clearly
marked. Thank for reading, and I hope you enjoy the game and this walkthrough!


*****Story*****  [I001]
From the official EO website (www.atlus.com/etrian/):

"The Labyrinth swallowed all...

 Innocents were stranded;
sinners drowned in the depths;
 the damnced vanished there.

 The great power was lost to
Man, and Mother Earth turned
 her back to the new world.

 Only the cursed king on
 his throne in the abyss
remembers the golden age."

"In a vast and fertile land lies a small town known as Etria, a peaceful
village that became famous for a statling discovery.  A crack in the vast
forest opened at Etria's edge, leading downward like a gaping maw.  It all
began there...

Those who hear rumors of the labyrinth of Etria, whether young or old,
begin to harbor dreams of exploring it.

Riches... fame... prestige...all that and one more thing does the labyrinth
promise: the true spirit of adventure, on the perilous edge of death.

Today, like any other day in the new Etria, a youth walks through the town
gates..."

*****Gameplay*****  [I002]

Etrian Odyssey is a dungeon-crawling RPG.  It utilizes first person movement
on the top screen while a map is displayed on the bottom screen.  The player
chooses 5 characters for his party from 9 different classes (2 must be
unlocked) to explore the dungeon.  It is a traditional RPG.

***Helpful Tips***

An hour of in-game time passes after you move 30 steps/squares.

Your backpack holds 60 items.  You will be forced to throw away items if your
bag fills up.

The circle on the bottom right of the screen indicates the chance of a random
encounter.  Blue is low; red is high. The bar that occasionally appears next
to the circle warns of the proximity of a FOE. One bar means a FOE is 3 steps
away, two bars means 2 steps away, and three bars means the FOE is one step
away.

You can only have 5 quests at a time.

Check for new quests everytime you step foot on a new floor, this is what
usually triggers the availability of new quests.

When selling items to Shilleka, Press "Y" to sell multiples of the same item
to her all at once.

***How Boost Works***

Boost points increase when you deal or receive damage. When your Boost points
reach 100, you may use the Boost option during combat. Using Boost does not
take up the turn, you can use Boost and then choose your action.

Boost increases the level of a skill by 5. For example, since Multihit hits
3 times at level 10, if your Multihit is at level 5 or above, it will hit 3
times when boosted. Since Smite has a chance of Bind Arm when it hits level 5,
any boosted Smite will have a chance to Bind Arm.

Boost greatly increases the amount of damage dealt by any attack.

Boost seems to give a 100% chance of inflicting poison.
Other status effects too possibly?

Your Boost points drop to zero whenever you return to town.

reward if you can complete both lists...

*****Classes*****  [I003]

Landsknecht

Website Description:

"Powerhouse who can deal damage when you need it most, landsknechts aren't
afraid to rush into any situation, no matter how dangerous, and get their
hands dirty.  Their physical strength comes at the cost of defense, and if
you're willing to take a gamble, certain of their skills can tilt the balance
even further toward raw power by abandoning defense entirely.  A few elemental
skills make sure that they can pitch in even in fights against magical enemies.

Strengths: High attack power, capable of multiple attacks

Weaknesses: Low defense, few non-physical attacks"

Game Description:

"Masters of sword and axe, Landsknechts can bear a wide range of weapons and
armor in close combat.

Balanced warriors for the front line."


My comments: According to Wikipedia, this roughly translates to Servant of
the Land/Country.  They were mercenaries in 15th-16th century Europe.
Boring and irrelevant vocabulary lesson aside, the Landsknecht is your basic
fighter/warrior class. They can dish out the physical damage like no other
class until the Ronin is opened; and then, the Landsknecht can still hold its
own. Called Swordman, in the Japanese version, the Landsknecht can use both
swords and axes.

Survivalist

Website Description:

"Crafty dungeon explorers whose knowledge of the Labyrinth gives them an
advantage over their foes.  They can blend into shadows, making them harder
to hit, and raise the entire party's speed, turning the tide of battle in
your favor before the fight even starts.  Their bows allow them to attack
from either line with no damage penalty, and a few skills let them attack
multiple enemies at once.

Strengths: Effective status enhancements, useful woodland skills

Weaknesses: Low attack power, no elemental attacks"

Game Description:

"Flee-footed and wise in the ways of the forest, their bos skills make them
desirable allies.

Fast-acting fighters useful in either line."

My comments: The Survivalist is a great supporting class with good passive
abilities for exploring the dungeon as well as solid physical damage from the
back row. Called Ranger in the Japanese version, the Survivalist is definitely
a master of his/her surroundings.

Protector

Website Description:

"Holy knights who specialize in defending both themselves and the rest of the
party.  Their versatile defenses can be applied to themselves, a particular
line, or the entire party, guarding those who need it most.  Not limited to
physical defense, the protectors can also guard against elemental attacks.
Their skill with a weapon is also formidable, and a few basic healing skills
round out their arsenal.

Strengths: Excellent defense, high attack power, healing abilities

Weaknesses: Specific defenses are a gamble, no elemental attacks"

Game Description:

"Holy defenders of the weak. A Protector's sword and shield are invaluable
tools when in the dungeon.

Best used as front-line warriors."

My comments: The Protector is the "tank" class in this game. He can increase
the party's physical and/or elemental defense. He can also "taunt" the enemy
into attacking him and even occasionally resist death. Called Paladin in the
Japanese version, the Protector can even learn the more basic Cure spells to
act as a secondary (or primary) healer for the party.

Dark Hunter

Website Description:

"Masters of inflicting status ailments, the dark hunters can bind their
enemies before moving in for the kill.  Their proficiency with whips allows
them to totally immobilize an enemy before draining the last of its life,
and when equipped with a sword, they can deliver pinpoint strikes to paralyze,
confuse, or petrify a monster.  Even their own party members aren't safe from
their deadly games, since they can use their own comrades as bait for a trap.

Strengths: Can inflict most status ailments

Weaknesses: Low attack and defense under normal circumstances"

Game Description:

"Pinpoint lashes of their whip can weaken opponents.  Use their skills wisely
to turn the tide of battles.

Their skills are best used in the front."

My comments: Dark Hunters are masters of whips and sword. They can bind the
enemy to prevent them from using their skills with whip skills or cause status
ailments on foes with sword skills.

Medic

Website Description:

"All-purpose healers for the party, a medic can undo any damage dealth.
Their skills range from healing status ailments, to curing wounds, even to
resurrecting dead party members.  They can also confer beneficial status
effects, such as HP regeneration and elemental resistance.  In addition,
though their low defense makes it a risky proposition, putting them on the
front lines gives the surprisingly strong medics a chance to show off what
kind of damage they can do.

Strengths: Versatile range of healing skills, good attack power

Weaknesses: Low defense and HP"

Game Description:

"Unskilled in battle, their healing arts allow experienced warriors to survive
difficult battles.

Use their healing gifts from the back."

My comments: Medics are your healers. They have a range of skills that can heal
a single target, heal the entire party, heal over time, or even bring back the
dead. The Medica can also learn a strong physical attack in Caduceus.

Alchemist

Website Description:

"These accomplished magic-users can exploit an enemy's elemental weaknesses
to the fullest, with their powerful magical formulas.  In addition to their
repertoire of Fire, Ice, and Voltage spells, they can also poison enemies,
and have useful field skills such as determining the location of FOEs and
warping to safety at a nearby Geomagnetic Field.

Strengths: Second-to-none elemental spells

Weaknesses: Low attack power, defense, and HP

Game Description:

"Those who study the control of nature.  The power of fire, ice, and lightning
is at their command.

Elementalists who prefer the back."

My comments: The Alchemist is the classic mage/wizard. Alchemists can use Fire,
Ice, Volt(Lightning), or Poison. Their 1st and 2nd tier spells only hit one
target, but their 3rd tier spells can deal massive damage to all enemies at
once.

Troubadour

Website Description:

"Those who can't... sing!  Though the troubadour class is weak in both
attack and defense, their songs can boost the rest of the party to even
greater heights.  Various songs can increase the rest of the group's HP,
recover their HP and TP, lend elemental properties to their weapons, and
even give them more experience after a successful battle.  They can also
help debilitate the enemy, cancel[l]ing any status benefits the monsters
may have, and lowering their resistance to elemental magic.

Strengths: Can increase the party's effectiveness

Weaknesses: Not very effective in battle themselves"

Game Description:

"Lively dancers and singers who inspire the party.  Their support is always
welcome in combat.

Supporters able to work on either line."

My comments: The Troubadour is a solid support class, casting party-wide buffs.
The Troubadour can even allow your party to deal elemental damage, gain
elemental resistance, decrease your enemies' elemental resistance, regain your
party's HP or TP, increase your party's maximum HP, or even increase the amount
of EXP your party receives.

Ronin
Must be unlocked - Ren gives you the Old Scroll in a room in the A3 area of
B11F. Take this scroll to the Explorers Guild and you will not be allowed to
register Ronin.

Website Description:

"Warriors from a foreign land whose skill in combat surpasses even the
landsknecht's.  These swordsmen can adopt three stances in battle, each
strengthening the ronion in different ways, and allowing them to use
different skills.  From the Overhead stance, they can attack with burning
blades; from the Seigan stance, they can deflect enemy attacks; and from
the Iai stance, they can deliver strikes so blindingly fast as to destroy
a monster in one hit.

Strengths: Unmatched physical attacks, versatile skills

Weaknesses: Changing stances eats up turns in battle"

Game Description:

"Foreign masters of all forms of combat. Considering honorable death a virtue,
their defense is lacking.

Proud soldiers who demand the front."

My comments:

Hexer
Must be unlocked - Tlachtga gives you the Hex Bell in the B4 area of B16F. Take
this to the Explorers Guild and you'll be able to register Hexers.

Website Description:

"Like the dark hunter, the hexer is adept at crippling enemies with status
ailments, but the hexer has an even deadlier power over monsters.  Once an
opponent falls victim to their Evil Eye curse, they cannot help but obey the
hexer's order to destroy their comrades or even themselves.  In addition to
the standard status ailments, a hexer can also weaken an enemy's attack and
defensive strength, as well as its speed.

Strengths: Can reduce an enemy's power to nothing

Weaknesses: Low defense, few direct attack abilities"

Game Description:

"Their hexes dictate whether an enemy lives or dies. Their innate gifts are
rarely seen.

Tormentors used to the back line."

My comments:




+++++Walkthrough+++++[W000]++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

***Guild Creation***
The game starts you off at the Explorers Guild.  Name your guild. Now it's
time to register some characters!

Character Creation
You will be asked to choose a name for your character. Then, you will choose
one of the 7 classes and one of the 4 portraits.  You can create a maximum of
16 members for your guild, though there are still 2 unopen classes, so you'll
probably want to leave some slots open for later. Either way, you can always
kick members out later.

Once you fill a party, you can leave the Guild and you will find that the
other locations have opened.


***Choosing a party***  [WCAP]

From Director's Diary 6 on the official website:
"My personal preference is a party consisting of a landsknecht, protector,
survivalist, medic, and alchemist."

Since you can change the composition of your party throughout the game, it's
not crucial that you make your absolute choices now.  After all, two more
classes will be unlocked throughout the course of the game.  During the game,
you may actually want to switch up your party to handle the various
encounters.  You will want to make sure that your party has balance.  You will
almost always want to have at least one healer and one caster.

I personally am starting with the aforementioned party for my own reasons.

Landsknecht   Kyle
Protector     Talion
Survivalist   Oat Bob
Medic         Karen
Alchemist     Dorma

The most basic party would include a Protector in the front row and a Medic
and an Alchemist in the back. From there, you can take 2 physical fighters in
the front row (Landsknecht, Ronin, or Dark Hunter), or you could take just
1 physical fighter in the front row and bring a Troubadour or Survivalist in
the back.

***Starting off***

You are now free to roam about the town.  You can save your game at the
Rooster Inn or shop around at the Apothecary or Shilleka's Goods.  At the
Golden Deer Pub, you will be told that you cannot accept any requests until
your guild has been registered at Radha Hall.  Head there to accept your first
Etrian Odyssey mission!

Accept the mission Adventurer's initiation to receive a map and instructions
for your first mission.

Before you head out, you should check out the gear at Shilleka's.  All of your
characters have the most basic weapon and Tweed armor.  If you have a
Survivalist in your party, it's probably worth it to get a Wood Bow.  Also,
consider a Hatchet or Scramasax for your Landsneckt, a Scramasax for your
Protector, and/or a Light Whip for your Dark Hunter. Pick up some pieces of
armor if you'd like, and pick up some Medica if you think you'll need it.

Save if you feel like it and then...

It's time to head out!  Go to the Plaza and select Forest Entrance, then
Yggdrasil Labyrinth.

*********************1st Stratum Emerald Grove*********************************

*****B1F*****  The first hope-filled step  [W001]

New Monsters: Treerat, Woodfly, Mole, Clawbug
These monsters are all pretty straightforward.  The clawbug has high physical
defense, so use magic on it.


Head straight North.  The game prevents you from exploring for now. You will
meet up with the soldier.  Ask him what he's doing here, and he'll give you
a tutorial on how to use the mapping system.  Also, he'll show you the area
you need to map to complete the first mission.

*****IMPORANT*****
If your HP and TP are getting low, don't be afraid to head back to town to rest
up.  It is always better to be safe than to game over.  If you do, save at
least 7 Soft Hides for the time being.  Also, save at least 5 Hard Shells.

Explore the area within the dotted red lines, making sure to map out the area
as you go.  Map the Northwest part first.  You'll find a deadend with a boot
on the ground.  Inspect it to find a Whitestone, but you'll be attacked by 3
Moles! After the fight, head back to the soldier and startmapping the right.
You will probably need to (and probably should) head back to town to rest up
before you finish mapping the entire floor.  Return to the right side and you
should find an area that branches in all four directions.  Head North first to
find a crystal; you can't do anything with it now though.  Head West to find a
clearing with an item collection point. You'll only be able to use it if you
put points into Chop(On the SW corner of this clearing, there is a warp that
will take you back to the clearing by the stairs.  You can use to to quickly
harvest wood later). Anyways, mark this on the map and keep going.  The area
directly to the South of the item point has a red fruit you can eat for 10 HP.
Head back a little and go South and West all the way past the stairs.  If you
encounter a Clawbug in this area, use magic on it, and have everyone else
defend.  To the far West is a niche with a rucksack.  It's got 100en inside!
Now head North to find a clearing...

You will be asked if you want to rest in the clearing.  Select No.  Otherwise,
you will be attacked by a group of Venomflys who are very tough.  There's
another wood item point here.  Map it and head back to the soldier.

Extra: If you head to the north east area, you can go further north to pick up
3 treasure chests containing 200en, a Scrasamax, and a Medica II. You could get
these now or later when you return for the Holy Water quest.

The game hints that you should return to Radha Hall to report your success.
Report your results and you'll receive the Radha Note and 500en.  Take the
letter to Shilleka's and talk to her.  She'll now sell warp wires for 100en!
Get some equipment if you want and then check out the Golden Deer Pub.  Now
that you're Radha approved, you can pick up a couple of quests.  One asks for
7 Soft Hide which you should almost or already have. The other one asks you
to pick up some Holy Water from the east side of the 1st floor.  Time to
and head back into the dungeon!

The Holy Water is in the far SE corner of the map.  Drinking the water during
the day does nothing.  Drinking it at night gives your party 10 TP. Now, head
back to town to turn in the quest, or press onwards.  The area past the soldier
is another crystal.  Just walk past it to the 2nd floor.

***TIP***
If you're short on money, this is a good time and place to earn some easy en.
Go to the Explorer's Guild and just make 5 new Survivalists. Put all their
points into Chop and use the convenient warp to get to the Item Point. Your
party should have 30 Chops per day. If you're lucky enough to get all 30
Mugworts(the most common), that's 600en a run! Though, you'll probably
be hitting 400-500 instead, still pretty good. Sleeping will only cost you 8en
since your party is all level 1. Rinse and repeat.

*******************************************************************************

*****B2F*****  The verdant in-between  [W002]
New Monsters: Venomfly, Hare, Fender, Ragelope(FOE), Kuyutha(FOE)
All of these monsters can hit for quite a bit.  The Venomfly's poison will
cause the victim to take 20-25 points of damage at the end of the round, so
end the fight quickly.  Luckily, the status wears off by itself after the
fight.  Take out the Hare and Fender as fast as possible since they each hit
your front row for 20-35 points of damage.

The first FOE that you will encounter on B2F is the Ragelope.  It looks like a
Fender, but it's much, much stronger. It uses a Scream attack that can confuse
one of your characters.  Or, it will just hit for 40+ damage.  I would suggest
avoiding these as much as possible; though, you may have to fight one or more.
If you're using an Alchemist, I suggest using Poison, as it can deal a lot of
damage each turn.  Keep your HP up, and wear it down. I would suggest being at
least level 7, if not 8-9, to fight one of these. The Kuyutha hits even harder
than Ragelope. Unless you've put several points into Poison, you probably won't
be able to poison the Kuyutha, so just use Fire/Ice/Volt.


Head straight east. You can check something here; however, that'll just cause
your party leader to take 5 points of damage.

Go West first.  At the SW corner of this loop, you can press A and "Check" to
find a soldier. He tells you that he has some things for sale. If you ask to
buy a weapon, you will receive a "Short Sword" for 500en, a great deal if
you haven't opened it up at Shilleka's yet. Or, you can buy medicine, just a
Medica. You only get one chance at this, as after you talk to the soldier, he
will disappear permanently. One you reach the NE part of this loop, you will
receive a warning about FOEs.  You can consider skipping this FOE(at least for
now). There is a path to the East that you can take instead.  However, if you
decide to fight this FOE, you can continue South then take a long path East.
South and East of this leads to another crystal which you can't do anything
with. Going West from here leads you to a circular room with another FOE.  This
is a Kuyutha.  You can avoid it and go past.  This FOE hits even harder than
Ragelope(It hit my survivalist in the back row for 68), and its rampage attack
deals even more. However, if you beat it, it can drop a Metal Horn, which you
can sell to open up Plate armor and the Wakizashi katana(useless for now).
Take the long winding path to the West to find a chest containing a Nectar.
Now head back to where you fought the first Ragelope.

Take the path to the East. Head North and then go West. The first path is
a deadend. The 2nd leads to a chest with a Warp Wire. Then, go back again and
head East.

At the next junction, if you head South, you will find an orange fruit.
Eating it will cause your leader to lose 10 TP. Man this place is dangerous!
If you're feeling weak, it's probably not worth trekking back through the
entire floor to get back to town.  Use that Warp Wire you got in the chest if
you need to.

*****IMPORTANT*****
From here on, make sure you ALWAYS have at least one Warp Wire on you.  Yes,
this means that every trip, you will need to make enough en to rest, revive,
and pay 100en for a Warp Wire.  Do your best to avoid deaths; those will be
the most costly.

If you go back to town, there are some more quests to pick up, including a
quest for Shilleka.  Pick up the quest and go talk to Shilleka.  She'll tell
you that she wants 5 hardwood (from the item points on B1F) and 5 hard shells.
Collect these and sell them to Shilleka.  Then, she'll be able to sell you the
Hand Axe.  Don't buy one though!  Instead, go report the quest, and you'll get
one for free.  Head back through B1F to B2F to the point where you warped back.
Remember to watch out for FOEs.

Go back up North and East.  Wait for the FOE to patrol South and move past it
to the East or just kill it.  From here, either path North or South lead to the
exit.  However, if you head North, there will be a path that leads to another
Kuyusha FOE and a treasure chest containing a Buffcoat. Along the Southern
path, you can find a green fruit that will heal 10 HP(even though it looks
unappetizing).  You're done with the 2nd floor! If you've been fighting FOEs,
you should probably be nearing level 10 at this point. Prepare yourself and
step into the next floor.

*******************************************************************************

*****B3F*****  Marble Orchard of Soldiers  [W003]
New Monsters:  Mandrake, Roller, Stalker(FOE)
The Mandrakes aren't too bad, though their corrode ability can decrease your
defense making you vulnerable to other monsters. The Rollers will hit even
harder than the Hares and Fenders from B2F.  The 2 Hare 2 Roller combination
can be painful if you're low on HP, so keep your HP high at all times. There
will also be 2 Mandrake 1 Clawbug groups, so make sure your Alchemist has TP.


As soon as you enter the floor, you get a warning that it's ok to run from
FOEs. A great tip, since there's an FOE around here that can probably one-shot
any of your characters. You're in a big clearing, so you should have enough
toom to maneuver past the FOE. You're looking for a door on the SW side of
the clearing. What should usually work is charging straight South until you are
one square from the bottom. Then just charge West to the door. You can return
to complete the rest of this empty room later. The FOE is just too strong to
take on for now.

You'll find yourself in another smaller clearing. Head to the North and let
the FOE chase you East so that you can get past it. This FOE is easy to
avoid since it can only travel East/West. Go South to find a door. The door
is blocked by a female Ronin named Ren and a female Hexer named Tlachtga. They
tell you to return to Radha Hall. When you return to town, you will find 3 new
quests at the Pub, as well as a new mission at Radha Hall telling you to
destroy a pack of wolves on the 5th floor. So, head back down all the way to
the door where Ren and Tlachtga are. This time, they will let you through the
door.

You are now in a clearing with 3 doors that lead to the West. The one furthest
North leads to a room with 2 FOEs.  If you're willing to brave the run past
them, you'll find a door leading to a room with 3 treasure chests.  These
contain Medica III, 400en, and a Hide Boot.

The middle door leads to a Kuyutha FOE which you will need to defeat. There is
a deadend to the West, and the Southern path connects with the path from the
Southernmost door of the previous room. From here, go West then South. There is
a little deadend alcove to the West. Continue South. The SW part of this area
is full of nooks and crannies, but nothing interesting. Head SE to find a door.

You should now be in another small room with 2 new doors. One to the NE and one
to the South. Take the door to the South. Go one square East and go through
the door leading to the South. You'll find a soldier being attacked by a wolf!
Luckily, you won't actually have to fight it. Tlachtga shows up and takes the
wolf out for you. Also, she'll heal your party to full HP and TP. She tells you
that the stairs to the 4th floor are nearby, but there are still some things
to mop up on this floor. You can return here for a free heal whenever you need
it.

Now, go back North through the door. Go West and take the door to the South
to find a chest containing a Theriaca A. Go back through the door and go all
the way East. Take the door to find a "Take" Item Point. From the Item Point,
go North through 3 doors. The NW part os this area is empty. The SW leads back
to an earlier room. Head to the NE part of this area to find Ren, the female
Ronin. She tells about hidden passages in the trees (like the one on B1F).  Go
one square North then one square West. Look North to find another warp point.
This makes it much faster to travel back here from town. Further West is a
deadend. Now, head to the SE part of this area and take the door South. This
room contains another "Take" Item Point" and another door to the South. Inside
is a treasure chest containing 500en. A FOE will sneak up on you in here!
Luckily, it's just a Ragelope, and you should be able to take one now.

Head back to Tlachtga, the Hexer. She'll heal you up again, and you can take
the door to the South. The Eastern path is a deadend. Travel to the West and
then North to reach the stairs to the 4th floor!

*******************************************************************************

*****B4F*****  The depths' black teeth  [W004]
New Monsters: Clawfly, Wolf(FOE)
The Clawfly looks like a red Clawbug. It is still strong against physical
damage; however, it is also strong against Fire. Poison and other spells are
still effective against it.


As you take a few steps into the 4th floor, you'll get a warning about wolves.
Then, you'll see a TON of FOEs pop up. Don't worry, these are Wolves, and they
are probably the easiest FOE you've faced yet. They hit about as hard as a
Ragelope, and have less HP. These guys are all over the place. They might be
avoidable, but it's worth killing them for their great exp.

First, head South at the intersection, then turn West. This path will lead you
through a door to a treasure chest containing a Bravant. Return to the
intersection. The Eastern path here is all a winding deadend, but it contains
a couple of Wolves if you want to kill them. Return to the intersection again
and head North. Take the first West, and go through the door. Here's the first
"Mine" Item Point! Mark it and remember to mine it every time you pass through.
This should get you a pyroxene to complete a quest. Head back out the door and
continue North. At the next 4-way intersection, head all the way West, then
North through a door to find another "Mine" Item Point. Return to the last
4-way intersection. Head East to the wall, then go North through a door. This
room contains another Wolf and a treasure chest with a Plate. Go South back
out the door.

From here, you can take the first West, then go North to reach the next door.
Or, you can return to the 4-way intersection and head North from there. The
rest of the map before this door contains many nooks and crannies, but nothing
else. Go through this next door and head East. Check the South to find a
treasure chest containing Medica II. Go North from here. The path all the way
North is a deadend, so go West, then North, thne West, then South. You'll find
a loop and a door on the Western side leading to a chest with an Amrita.
Head North from the door and West to find the door.

*******************************************************************************

*****B5F*****  Staring down the roar  [W005]
New Monsters: Warbull, Skoll(FOE), Fenrir(Boss)
Warbulls hit pretty hard. Nothing too special beyond that. For strategy against
Skoll and Fenrir, see the end of this floor.


Head East. Going all the way East leads to a deadend, so head South. Push on
to the East. Ignore the path to the South for now, and take the first path to
the North instead. There's another "Mine" Item Point in here. Go back South.
Now, push all the way East and South. Keep going this way and you'll be lead
to a fairly long path straight east that leads to a chest containing an
excellent sword, Boar Spear. Don't ask me why a spear is a sword; I don't know.
Anyways, at this point, backtrack all the way back to where the "Mine" Item
Point was.

From here, if you want to go all the way West, you'll find a crystal on the
South near the end of the path. Make sure you remember where it is, as it will
be useful later. On this horizontal path, there are still 2 other pathes
leading to the South. If you take the one furthest West and continue on a SW
path, you will find a deadend. You'll probably encounter an FOE or two; they'll
be Wolves, so kill them for the EXP if you'd like.  Otherwise, head down the
convoluted path in a generally South and central direction. You'll eventually
find a small clearing with a "Chop" Item Point. Go South and East from here.
Follow the long path East until you reach the wall, then follow the path North
and West.

When the path turns to the South, take the first door to the West to find a
"Chop" Item Point. Go back out the door and go South. Take the next door West
to find a "Mine" Item Point. Go back through the door, and continue South
through another door to reach a clearing. The frequent 3 Roller 1 Clawfly
encounters in this area can be quite draining; however, try to hold off
returning to town for a little bit if you can. You want to go a little bit
further first. Go to the SE of this clearing to find a chest containing a
Blaze Oil. Head to the SW to find a door.

*****IMPORTANT*****
Head all the way North. Check the wall to the West to find a Warp to an earlier
area. Now you don't have to loop all the way around again. The boss is coming
up, so you'll probably want to rest before returning.

From that last door, head West and take the door to the North. You'll get a
message saying that you are now in Fenrir's lair. There are several normal
Orange FOEs, these are Skolls. You will find one each to the West and East.
Take these out first. Skolls are basically stronger Wolves. They have more HP
and hit harder, but they aren't terribly difficult. Now, go North from the
entrance and take out a 3rd Skoll. Make sure you avoid the Black FOE, that's
Fenrir!

After you've eliminated the 3 Skolls, prepare yourself for Fenrir. You can't
reach the Skolls North of Fenrir, but they will add onto the fight if you
are too close to them, so you'll want to pull Fenrir South and even East/West
into one of the crannies if you can. Do this by walking within a square of
Fenrir so that he will chase you.

*****FENRIR*****
Here's the first boss of the game. He's no joke. He's got 1400 HP, and you
can't be too slow about killing him or you'll get Skolls added into the fight!
You'll probably want to make sure your Boost points are full from the trip here
and from fighting Skolls. This way, you can Boost your entire party to dish out
some heavy damage at the start(I took him to 2/3 HP in the first round using
Boosts).

From here, you've just got to play smart. Use your highest damaging attacks,
have your Protector actively use Provoke/Parry, or F. Guard/B. Guard, whichever
you prefer. Also, Salve is very useful here. You should probably be around
level 16-17 or even higher, so if you're having trouble, you might want to
walk around B5F for experience. Also, make sure to sell all your drops so that
you can open up and purchase the best gear.

After the fight, all the rest of the Skolls disappear. Do NOT Warp Wire back to
town! Instead, go down to the 6th floor. You will see a Star on your map a
shining beacon of light in front of you. Head towards the light. The Ronin and
Hexer from before will step up behind you and tell you how to use this
Geomagnetic Field. The Hexer will now no longer be on B3F to heal your party.
You should now use the Geomagnetic Field to save and/or port back to town.

Report your success at Radha Hall for a 2000en reward. Also, 4 new quests have
opened up for you to do. After all this, you're ready to tackle the 6th floor!

Note: After you finish the 1st Stratum, you can return to B1F to find some
extra treasure. See the Side Quests section [SQ01]


*********************2nd Stratum Primitive Jungle******************************

*****B6F*****  Dance hall of the fairies  [W006]
New Monsters: Sleepgel, Venomgel, Waspior, Sloth, Spider, Moa(FOE), Cutter(FOE)
Most of the names are pretty self-explanatory. The Sleepgels can sleep your
characters. Venomgels rarely use Venom, but they can poison the entire party
if they do. Otherwise, they might just occasionally poison a single target. The
Waspiors and Spiders can also poison a single target. The Sloths hit hard,
especially with Shred, so be prepared for that.

Moa is the FOE you'll encounter on the West/North parts of the floor. Moa has
a solid amount of HP (900) and can use Rush, which hits the entire party
for around 60 damage. I don't recommend taking one on until you're at least
level 20, if not 21-22. Salve is almost a must for this fight.
Cutter is the FOE on the Eastern part and the final rooms for the floor. Cutter
has less HP than Moa but hits slightly harder. He also has a Roar that can
terrify your party. He's actually not all that tough. Poison is effective
against him.


Head through the door North above the Geomagnetic Field. There's a door
directly to the North, but ignore that for now.  Head all the way East. At the
wall, you will be told that this is a great area to plant the seed you got
for a quest. Make sure you're HP/TP levels are high; you're about to face
4 consecutive encounters. Once you plant the seed, you will be attacked by 2
Waspiors. Then, you'll immediately face 2 more Waspiors, then a Sleepgel with
2 Waspiors, and finally a Sloth with 2 Waspiors. When you finish up here, you
can head South to the wall, then West, then back North to complete the map
before returning to town to collect your reward. Note location of the crystal
for future reference.

When you return to the labyrinth, head North through the door from the
Geomagnetic Field once again. This time, head West. Go South at the first
opportunity until you hit the wall. Then, take the door to the North to find
a "Chop" Item Point. You can find Starseeds here which you'll need five of for
a quest. Take the Southern door now and head East then North to find a chest
containing a Down Staff. There's a FOE(Moa) around here, so be careful.
Luckily, he's easy to avoid.  Head back out the door and continue West then
North. Take the door to the West and go all the way South to find a "Take"
Item Point. Now go all the way North, then West, then South until you hit a
wall. Travel East through the door to find a "Mine" Item Point. This is a
deadend, so you might want to Warp Wire out unless you think you can make it
back to the Geomagnetic Field.

At this point, it might be a good idea to visit all 3 Item Points a few times
for a few reasons: Collect en, get experience up to levels 20-21, collect 5
Starseeds, collect enough other items to open up better equipment.

When you're ready to move on, head North from the Geomagnetic Field through
both doors. There are several FOEs moving around here. It is possible to
avoid them all if you are careful. These are all Cutters. Travel to the NW
corner of this room to find a door. Go through the door and travel South and
then West. There is a Moa lurking around here. The path further West leads to
a deadend. The path to the North cuts West and leads through a door to another
"Take" Item Point. Now, return to the room with several FOEs.

Head to the NE of the room to find another door. Go through the door and travel
South and then go all the way East skipping a path to the North. Go North at
the wall to find a chest with a Medica III inside. Go back and take the path
to the North. Travel all the way East to find a "Mine" Item Point. There
is a door to the South here. Go inside, but be wary of a Cutter FOE. Go around
the tree in the center to find a door door leading further South. Take the
Eastern path South to find another "Chop" Item Point. This one seems to garner
Starseeds more often than the other spot. Go back up to the door and take the</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
Western path South. Go through the door to find a room full of Cutter FOEs. It
is actually possible to avoid any fights with these. Head to the SW of this
room to find the final door of this floor.

Now, go through the door and go North to the wall. Go one square West and face
North. You should find a Warp Point that gives you any easy way back to the
Geomagnetic Field. Now, go West to the wall and South one square and turn West
again. Go North to find a chest containing a Stonard. Go all the way South,
then West, then North to find the stairs to B7F.

*******************************************************************************

*****B7F*****  Trail of enduring pain  [W007]
New Monsters: Maneater, Fangleaf, Assassin(FOE)
Nothing special, but they have decent HP. Fire wrecks them. Assassin hits
fairly hard, especially with his needle, causing over 100 damage.


Anytime after entering the 7th floor, you can go to Radha Hall to receive the
next mission. You're told to collect a Wyvern's egg on the 8th floor. 2 new
quests also open up.

From the entrance of B7F, head West. You'll reach some panels that will cause
you damage. There's a treasure chest containing a Chain Helm in the NE of that
little clearing. Exit North in the NW corner of the clearing. Follow the path
East then North. Here, you will encounter an Assassin FOE that you're probably
best off fighting. Otherwise, it will follow you forever and join in on a
random encounter. Head West at the first intersection and follow the path North
over more poison panels to find a chest containing the Clear Key. Now, you can
open up doors that were previously blocked by white crystals. Below is a list
of areas you can return to that were previously blocked off.

*****White Crystals*****

B1F: Go straight North to the clearing before that soldier you met, oh so long
ago.  You'll find a chest containing a Nectar.

B2F: The crystal is in the SE part of this floor. Go through the door and take
the Northern path to find a Medica IV and the Southern path to find a Soma.

B5F: This is a long one, so be prepared for a long trip, especially if you want
to map everything out. Note that this is basically a sidequest for the quest,
"The bandit's treasure."

If it's been a while since you've been here, and you're coming from B6F, be
careful, because Fenrir (and all the Skolls) may have respawned. If you have
the quest "Shadow in the grove" to do still, you'll find the monster in the
form of a FOE near the Northern part of the floor. The monster is a normal
Spider monster that you've met on the 6th and 7th floors.

The crystal is on the NW side of the map. Going through the door takes you on a
long path South to a door. You'll meet some FOEs in here, but they're just
Wolves, so they should be easy for you. After going through the door, head
East to find a door leading to the North and 2 treasure chests. Inside, you'll
find a Nectar II and a Bravant II. Go back South through the door and head to
the SE. Head through another door and take a long path East all the way across
the screen. Here is another door leading to a small clearing with an exit on
the NE side. Head North through this door through another long path to another
door. Behind is a chest containing... an Amrita. Yes, all that walking for an
Amrita...or so they want you to think! Check the NE corner of this little room
to find a one-way Warp!

You'll head through a series of paths. If you really want to get out of here,
there's a one-way Warp out on the SW part of this area. Otherwise, take the
stairs up to B4F in the NW part of this place.

B4F: Head to the door in the SE of the room, and take a long path South then
West to a door. You'll find yourself in a long corridor that stretches all
the way North and South. There are doors every other square on the Eastern
side of this corridor. Both of the doors to the South are deadends but contain
FOEs. Take the door just North of the one from the stairs to find a chest with
a Stonard II inside. The next 3 doors North all connect to each other. Watch
out for a Cutter FOE around this area. The next door is also a deadend. Now
there are 5 doors left. The 2 doors that are furthest North are both deadends,
leaving us with just 3 doors. These 3 doors both lead to the same corridor,
which leads to 2 more doors. Take the Northern door to find a Cutter FOE and a
chest with 4000en. Go back out the door and take the Southern door to find
stairs up to B3F.

B3F: Take the long path South. There's a one-way Warp to the West, but there's
no reason to take it. Head East to find a junction. There are 3 doors to the
East and 4 to the North. These doors lead through a series of 12 3x3 rooms.
5 of these rooms contain Armoth FOEs, so be prepared for several fights. You're
aiming for the centermost room on the top row. In this room, you will find a
Warp Point leading back to the first room of B3F which had a stalker in it. I
would suggest returning to town and saving now that you've made the long trek
here and found the shortcut.

The NE most of the 12 rooms contains a Black FOE, aka a Boss. It will only
appear if you have the quest "The bandit's treasure." Otherwise, the room will
be empty. This is the dreaded Golem Boss. He has 7000 HP and extremely high
defense. Look under the description of this quest to find strategy on how to
defeat him. He isn't meant to be beaten for awhile yet, so don't worry about
it for now.

B6F: The crystal here is just by the Warp Point. Inside is a chest containing
1000en.

*****Back to B7F******

Now, after you've collected those items (or not, if you didn't feel like it),
return to the area where you saw the Assassin FOE. Continue North and then
East. At the junction, going East will lead to a deadend. There is another
Assassin FOE around this area that you will need to kill. Head South now then
East and South again past some more poison panels. The paths to the West here
are both deadends. When you head East here, you'll want to check the Southern
walls to find a Warp Point. The specific square is 3 West of the stairs from
B6F. Continue East and go through the door to the North. Walk past more poison
panels to the wall. Go West and then South. You'll see a door here. It leads to
a Spring. You'll receive a message about an ominous presence. The Spring heals
your party to full, but if you go in again, you'll just get a message talking
about a sinister presence, and nothing will happen. You'll be returning here
in a bit. Go West and head North past more poison panels and then East to find
the stairs to B8F.

*******************************************************************************

*****B8F*****  The Wyvern's nest  [W008]
New Monsters: Petaloid, Scorpion, Firebird, Wyvern(Boss)
Petaloids can sleep the entire party which can be quite annoying.


The first thing that you should notice is the water droplet mark on the map.
Head straight South and take the Western path. Here you will notice a crack
on the far West wall as well as a crystal to the North. Make note of these for
future reference, and take the door to the South. You will see a treestump
beneath a leaf. Ren and Tlachtga show up behind you and tell you that you must
destroy a monster back on B7F to free the water. It's worth your time to do
this, so run back up to B7F to the Spring.

*****Back to B7F*****

Head to the Spring to fight a Pondclaw. This monster is pretty easy, so take
him out and return to the treestump on B8F.

*****Back to B8F*****

Ren and Tlachtga are happy to tell you that the Spring is now unblocked. You
can now use this Spring to restore your HP and TP. This is a good opportunity
to complete the "Explorers Guild trial" quest. You can wander around in the
room with the Spring to easily complete the quest since there are no encounters
in that room. Or, you can take this opportunity to pick up some easy levels.
This quest rewards you with the Hauberk, a nice piece of armor for your Medic
or Alchemist.

Now, it's time to explore. From the Spring, go out the door and East and take
the path to the South. When you reach the wall, head all the way East to find
another crack. Take note of this for future reference and then return West
2 square to take the path North to find a "Take" Item Point. Head all the way
South from here until you reach a wall. Here, the Eastern path is a deadend,
while the Western path leads to another "Take" Item Point. Now, you can return
to the stairs. Use the Spring along the way if you'd like. It's time to
complete the mission from Radha Hall. Let's steal us a Wyvern's egg!

Go East from the stairs. When you reach a junction, you will receive a message
telling you that you hear a scream to the South. The Wyvern's lair is just
ahead. The path to the East leads to a deadend, but you may return to it later
(see "The lucky coin" quest).

Head South into the Wyvern's lair. You should be able to see where Wyvern is
facing. When he faces West, head to the East and run South to the wall. Then
sneak West two squares. You should now be in the center and Southermost square
in the room. Check for the egg, and then hightail it out of there.

If you accidentally get caught by Wyvern, he will usually use Tornado, which
binds your entire party's legs. Don't worry, you can still escape from the
battle, so do so. If this happens, you will need to reset Wyvern by simply
walking back North along the path until Wyvern returns to the center. Then, you
can attempt to get the egg again. Now, return to Radha Hall with the egg.

It seems that the silly Subaltern Quinn is impressed by your feat. You even
get to speak to Visil, the Chieftain of Radha Hall, who personally thanks you!
How nice of him. Anyways, Visil will hint that there is a hidden road in
Wyvern's lair, which you will need to find to advance past the 8th floor(there
are actually two hidden paths). So, return to the Wyvern's lair.

This time, we'll want to head to the West side of Wyvern's lair first. So,
walk back and forth North and South in the pathway until Wyvern faces East, so
that you can sneak to the West. Go to the SW square and face West to find a
Warp Point that leads to stairs leading to B9F.

*****B9F*****  A labyrinth for monsters  [W009]
New Monsters: Eviloid, Glowbird
The new monsters aren't much. Glowbird is fast but doesn't hit hard. Eviloid
is like Petaloid with more HP, but he doesn't have the mean sleep. There are
some new combos of monsters that can be quite painful like 2 Petaloid 1 Sloth.


Stepping into B9F opens up a couple of new quests as well as a mission telling
you of a powerful monster on the 10th floor, the next boss. Visil talks to you
again; he mentions that only two explorers have ever reached that far into the
Labyrinth...guess who!!  Now, back to exploring the floor.

You're already on B9F, but this floor is actually intertwined with B8F. You'll
be bouncing between these 2 floors a lot. Head North and then West to find a
small clearing with a bunch of poison tiles. Ignore the door to the West for
for and head South to find another door. Head through the door and go East
then South to find a "Mine" Item Point. Go back to the door and head West then
over some poison tiles to find a chest containing a Magnet. Head back East then
South and go through the Door to the West to find another "Mine" Item Point.

Now, return to that first door we ignored that was surrounded by poison tiles.
If you head South from the door, you will find an Assassin FOE and a deadend.
You can fight it if you want or just ignore that path completely. Heading
either West or North then West from the door will lead to the same area.
Continue West and then South. Heading further South takes you to a deadend, so
take a West at the junction. You'll be in a big clearing with several more
poison squares. Head to the SW of this clearing and go South, then East, then
South again. You'll be in a hallway with 2 White Crystals. Take the Eastern
door first to find 3 treasure chests. Inside you'll find a Theriaca B, 900en,
and a Broadaxe. Now, enter the Western Crystal room at your own risk. You'll
find an Armoth FOE inside, which shouldn't be too bad. However, a Moa will
appear and join the battle after a few turns. Then, a few turns later, another
Moa will join the battle! You're now done exploring this part of B9F, so head
back to town in order to return to the Wyvern's lair once again.

*****Back to B8F*****

You're back at the Wyvern's lair again, and this time you want to go to the SE
square of the lair. Face East and you'll find a Warp Point leading to a set of
stairs down to B9F again.

*****Back to B9F*****

Head North from the stairs. The path to the East is a deadend. Head all the way
West over a 2x2 square of poison tiles and then South to find a chest
containing a Medica III. Head back to the clearing with the poison tiles and
head to the SE of the area. Take the path South then East. The path to the
North here is a deadend. Take a lengthy path South until you reach the wall. Go
East a couple of squares and then head all the way North to find stairs that
lead back up to B8F.

*****Back to B8F******
New Monster: Armoth(FOE)

Head South and West until you reach a clearing with 3 treasure chests. Inside
you'll find a Stonard, 500en, and an Iron Plate. If you head North and East
from here, you will encounter your first Armoth FOE. This guy has high DEF and
can charge up his strength to perform a Bullrush, dealing your party about 80
damage each. The SE part of this area is a deadend. You can head back to town
and return to the stairs or just walk back. Remember, you should always head
back to down if you're running low on TP/HP. It's worth it to take the extra
time to run to town and back since some extra EXP never hurts, and it keeps you
from being frustrated by losing your data from a game over. Moving on...

*****Back to B9F*****

Head back to the initial clearing with the 2x2 square of poison tiles. This
time, head to the SW of this clearing. There is a path to the West that leads
to a deadend. Take the path South instead and head to the SW part of the room
over several poison tiles to reach a chest containing an Oak Jacket. Now, head
to the SE part to find a path leading South. As you head South, a FOE will
spawn in the deadend to the North and chase you South. It's just a Moa though,
so you should be able to take it. Head South to the wall and head West and
North to reach a set of stairs back up to B8F. There are 2 Cutter FOEs here,
which should also be easy for you to take on.

*****Back to B8F*****

You'll be in a small clearing with a few poison tiles. Head to the NW of the
clearing. Remember the crack you found earlier? You can find a Warp Point
through this wall now. You can hit the Spring or even head back to town before
continuing on now. The stairs back to B9F are in the SW corner of that
clearing.

*****Back to B9F*****

Head South, then West, North, West, North, and then West. From here, take the
path South to the wall. The 2 squares to the East are a deadend, so head West
into a small clearing. There is a path North in the NE, but that's just
another deadend. The NW of the clearing contains a treasure chest with a Nectar
behind a few poison tiles. Take the exit from the SW of the clearing West.
Heading all the way West leads to a deadend, so take the first path to the
North. The path leads back up to B8F for the last time.

*****Back to B8F*****

Heading all the way East takes you to a deadend, so take the path North. There
are some FOEs scattered around here. They are just Assassin FOEs, so you should
be fine with taking them out. Heading West at the junction leads to a deadend;
however, you will notice a crack that will be useful later. Back at the
junction, heading North leads to another deadend, so head to the East then
North. While you're heading North, check the walls to the East to find a Warp
Point leading back to the Spring. Head towards the NW corner of the map. The
paths around here lead to many deadends. From the NW corner of A1, head South.
Check the wall to the East 2 squares from the Southern wall to find a Warp
Point. Continue South and East to find the final set of stairs to B9F.

*****Back to B9F*****

Head to the SW of this clearing to find the stairs down to B10F. Finally!

*******************************************************************************

*****B10F*****  The forest's silent king  [W010]
New Monsters: Stingmaw, Sprout
The monsters are this floor aren't too special. The Sprout is a very rare
encounter near the end of this floor in the room where Ren and Tlachtga heal
you.

Since you're on a new floor now, some new quests open up, so check those out
if you'd like. You immediately find yourself at a junction upon arriving on
B10F. Going East leads to a deadend. Going South eventually leads you in a
circle, but you might want to explore this area first.

So, if you go South, you'll find a door leading to a small clearing. Take the
door to the East. Going North here leads to a deadend. Going East takes you
to another door. If you go to the SE corner of this path, you will find a red
pebble. This seems to be something leftover from an unfinished quest. Or, it
is just there to add some flavor to the game. Continue through the door to the
North. If you check the middle Eastern wall in this 3x3 room, you will find a
crack. Remember this for later and continue North through another door. Head
West and South. You'll encounter an Assassin FOE here. If you go South through
the door, you will find a "Mine" Item Point. Going West leads to a deadend.
From the Item Point room, head North and West to find another door leading
North. This clearing contains another "Mine" Item Point, and a door leading to
the West. Head West and you will find a door to the North and a door to the
South. The door South leads through a room back to the intial junction where
you began the floor. So, take the door North to continue on.

From here, take the door on the East, go North a bit, and take the next door
East. This room has a door leading North and a door on the SE corner. Take the
door leading North first. There is a deadend to the West, so take the path
North then West that leads to a door on the Southern wall. There is a chest
through this door that contains a Broadsword. Go back to the room with 3 doors,
and take the SE door to the East this time. Then, go through a door leading
South to find a room containing a FOE. It's just a Moa. Continue South through
another door to find a "Take" Item Point. Take the door East and then go
through another door leading East to enter a room with a door to the North and
a door to the East.  This door leading East will be important for the
"Official business I" quest later on. Still, you can go through the Eastern
door and go North, East, then South to find a "Chop" Item Point. Go back to the
door and go South then East to the wall. Then go North and West to the wall.
You'll pass a path to the North that leads to a deadend. From here, go North
to find 3 doors. The Western one leads to another "Chop" Item Point, the center
one contains an Armoth FOE, while the Eastern door is blocked by a crystal.
Now, return to the room with 3 doors.

Head North through the door to find a large clearing with several FOEs. There
are a total of four of them, and they are all Armoths. Fight them if you wish,
or bypass them; the exit leads North from the NW corner of this clearing. Here
you will find a door leading East and one leading West. Take the East one first
to find a "Take" Item Point behind a Moa FOE. Then, take the Western door to
find a room with a door leading North. Go through the door. Going West leads
to a deadend. Take the long path East all the way until you reach the wall,
then take the long path South until you reach another wall. From here, go West
until you reach the wall. Head North 4 squares and check the wall on the West
to find a convenient Warp Point. Continue North and then head East. You'll
reach a junction and receive a message saying that you see Ren and Tlachtga to
the South. Head all the way South to the wall to speak to the pair. They will
mention their surprise at the mission Radha Hall as sent you on and give you
their aid. They give you an Amrita II and will revitalize your party. Head
back North and then head East until you find a chest with an Amrita II inside.
Head back West and take the path South. Then, go East, back North, and then
to the West. You will receive a message when you step onto the square North
of the door warning you that you can sense the danger behind the door. Prepare
yourself, because the battle will indeed begin as soon as you enter the door.
It's time to take on Cernunos!

*****Cernunos*****

I'd suggest fighting this guy at around level 30. He hits hard, so be prepared
with a healthy dose of Defender with some solid healing. Cernunos will summon
a pair of Curollers who proceed to Cure and Defend the boss. You will want to
kill them of course; however, it might be a better idea to leave one alive.
This way, Cernunos is unable to use his strongest attack. You will have to
be able to outdamage the 120 or so that the Curoller heals everyturn, but this
shouldn't be too hard. He has 2750 HP, so take him out and then mop up the
Curoller(s) after Cernunos is dead.

Congratulations! You're now more than a fully recognized explorer by Radha
Hall. Head down to B11F to find the Geomagnetic Field and return to town for
your rewards. Selling Cernunos's drop opens up the Viking sword and the Hindi
bow which are both decent upgrades. You'll also receive a 3500en reward for
killing Cernunos as well as the next mission, which is to map B11F and B12F.
It's time to explore the 3rd Stratum!


*********************3rd Stratum Azure Rainforest******************************

*****B11F*****  A mysterious cerulean wood  [W011]
New Monsters: Treefrog, Deathant, Madworm, Shelltor(FOE), Bloodant(FOE)
This new stratum brings a completely new set of monsters against your party.
The Treefrog, Deathant, and Madworm all have a decent amount more HP than
previous monsters. The madworm actually takes more damage more regular physical
attacks than from special moves. The Treefrog and Deathant have some annoying
moves, but they aren't too bad.

The new FOE on the floor, Shelltor, can be quite rough. If you have heavy
elemental damage, you'll have no problem against this big turtle; however, if
you don't, you'll be in for a rough fight. Poison works wonders on this guy
since he's extremely resistant to physical damage. He also has a Blizzard
attack that can hit the entire party for around 80 damage.

Bloodants can be an extremely frustrating FOE. It can summon addition enemies
into the fight. It will usually summon a bunch of Deathants. The best strategy
is to finish off the Bloodant before moving on to the Deathants.


Stepping onto this floor opens many new quests, so you should check those out.
Your mission is to explore the area and map it out for the Guild. Don't be
too worried about restrictions for mapping. Radha Hall is quite lenient for
this mission. Head West out the door from the Geomagnetic Field and head North.
Heading all the way East leads to a deadend, so head North. You'll be stopped
by a soldier standing there who will be relieved to see you. He'll hastily hand
you the pathetic little map he's drawn and run away. Unfortunately, his map is
written down for you. You'll have to check for some of the mistakes he's made.
Head North and East from where you met the soldier to find a dead end. Head
West then all the way South. The soldier had marked this as a deadend, but it
actually leads to the stairs down to B12F. You should ignore this for now, you
will see why in a bit.

From the stairs to B12F, head back North and head 2 squares West at the
junction. Heading all the way North leads to a deadend. Take the door on the
West to find a chest containing a Medica IV. Go back out the door. Heading all
the way South from here leads to a deadend. If you check the Western wall 3
squares north from the Southern wall, you will find a crack that will be useful
in a bit. Go back North to the 4-way junction and head West then North. Heading
East here leads to a deadend. Head West 2 squares and then go North. Head to
the East and then North to the wall. Head West 2 squares to find a door to the
South. Go through here and you will discover Ren, the Ronin. She talks with
you and hands you an Old Scroll. This is the moment many of you have been
waiting for!  You can head back to town and give this Scroll to the Explorers
Guild to register a Ronin. (Note: If you complete the quest asking for a level
20 Ronin, you'll receive an excellent katana that would help you incorporate
a Ronin into your main party quickly) Go North back out this room and head
West. You'll pass a pair of Shelltors which you can avoid or fight. You'll come
to a chest with 700en inside. Head back to the area above the room where Ren
gave you the Old Scroll. This time, head East.

Head South at the wall and take the Eastern path when you reach the junction.
Head South to the wall to find another soldier who gives you another small
area of the map. Continue East and then South. There's a small path to the East
that is a deadend. Continue South until you reach the wall, then turn East.
Continue along this path until you face a junction heading North or West. West
leads to a deadend and a Shelltor FOE. Head North along the path until you
reach a junction going East or West. Head East. If you picked up the
"Remembering the fallen" quest, you will find the Old Wand here. Also, there is
a "Mine" Item Point. Now, head West through a door to find a pitfall. This is
as good a time as any to drop down onto the 12th floor.

*****A short visit to B12F****
New Monsters: Hexfrog, Guardant
The Hexfrog can curse your party, causing your characters to receive half of
the damage they deal. This can quickly injure or kill your harder hitting
characters, so be careful.


Since you were facing West when you fell down the pit, you should immediately
notice the crack in the wall to the West. Remember this for later. Head East
and South until you reach the wall, passing a path to the East. You can and
should explore this area to the West. It's all deadend, but you will need it
to complete the mission for Radha Hall. Return to that long path South and take
the path to the East. Head all the way North to find a chest with a Medica III
inside. Now head all the way South to find the stairs back up to B11F. Since
you have stepped foot into B12F, two new quests are open at the Pub for you
to check out.

*****Back to B11F*****

From the stairs to B12F again, head North and turn West at the junction. Head
all the way West until the wall and head North. This time, head West to the
wall and head South, East 2 squares, and then South to the wall. Here, you will
find the Broken Axe for the "Remembering the fallen" quest. Head back North and
take the path West to the wall. Here, you'll find another soldier who gives you
more of the map and warns you of pitfalls. Head North to a junction. Going
further North leads to a deadend, so map that and then go back to the junction
and head West. Take the path North to find a door. Beyond the door is a
Bloodant FOE. Head back South through the door to the wall. Head West one
square then head South. Here, you will find a Shelltor FOE roaming around. From
here, head East, then South, then back West. There's a door to the North here
leading to an empty room. Continue West and North. Take the path to the West
here. Go South to find a door leading to a room with a crystal. Mark this for
future reference. Head back North through the door and check out the Western
path to find a Rust Sword, the final piece for the "Remembering the fallen"
quest. There is also a "Mine" Item Point here. Go back South and East to the
wall and head all the way North now to find a door. Beyond this door is a
Shelltor FOE. Head East and South to find a chest with an Amrita II inside.
Explore the rest of this area for map completion. THe door in the Northern
area that faces South leads to a 1 square room that's a pitfall down to B12F,
so just mark it that way unless you don't mind falling down and climbing back
up. Now, head back to the door South of the 1 square empty room.

Head South and then West to map out the deadend. Then head East to find 4
doors. The 1st door from the West is empy except for a pitfall. Avoid this one
and go back out the door. Skip to the 4th door (the one on the far East) and
go inside. Go one square North and check the Eastern wall to find a Warp Point.
There's also a pitfall in this room, so map it and head back South through the
door. Now, enter the 3rd door from the West. There is a Bloodant FOE and a
pitfall in here. Map this and go back South out the door. Enter the 2nd door
to find another Bloodant FOE. Kill it and drop down the pitfall to proceed
to B12F.

If you have not yet received a message saying that you have sufficiently mapped
B11F for Radha Hall, you will need to explore B11F further to make sure you
satisfy the mission requirements.


*****B12F*****  The Insect Queen's palace  [W012]
New Monsters: Servant(FOE), Royalant(Boss)
The Servant is a stronger version of the Guardant, just as the Bloodant is a
stronger version of the Deathant. The Servant does not actually move on the
map. It is usually surrounded by several Bloodant FOEs who will charge to
join the battle if you engage a Servant. Luckily, destroying a Servant will
clear the nearby Bloodants. Servants have a decently high amount of HP, so be
sure to kill them quickly, so that you don't get too many Bloodants added into
the fight.


Since you were facing North when you dropped down the pitfall, you should
notice the crack in the wall to the North. This opens up a nice Warp Point so
that you are able to get back to your current position quickly. Head South
from this Warp Point. You will receive a warning of a strong monster on this
floor at the junction. Head East through a door here to enter a small room.
There is a Bloodant FOE in this room along with a chest in the NW containing
a Bravant and a chest in the SE containing a Gum Helm. There is a door in the
NE corner of this room leading North to an empty 1 square room. Head back to
the junction where you received the warning.

Head West to the wall. Head North and then West. If you turn South, you will
find some FOEs. The FOEs that are moving around are Bloodants. If you go South
and West, you wlil find a stationary FOE. This is a Servant, so if you kill it,
the nearby Bloodants will disappear. Back at the junction where you went South,
go North and West this time, and then North again. Heading East here will
lead to a deadend, so head West then South. Remember to map all the deadends
though, since you're trying to complete the B12F map for Radha Hall as well.
Continue South until you reach a door leading West. You'll be in an area with
several FOEs. If you head straight North, past a Bloodant or two, you will
find a Servant you can kill to make the rest of the Bloodants disappear. Or,
you can just head West and then North and avoid all the FOEs entirely.

Continue North along a winding path until you reach a choice between going
East and West. Go East to map out this deadend before going West and then
North. Take the first path East and you will reach another area with a Servant
FOE in the NE of the area. Head to the SW part of this area to find a door.
You will get a warning about a Nest when you go through the door, but it's
mostly meaningless. Head east to the chest to pick up an Amrita II. Now go back
to the path leading North and go North to the wall, then go North all the way
to the East. Face East and open up the Warp Point. Now, you can reach this
area from town easily. Then, go back through the Warp Point and face South to
open up another Warp Point! Be careful here, since the Boss is just ahead. You
will see the boss along with several other FOEs around it, so make sure you
are prepared before moving into this area.

*****Royalant*****
You will get Bloodant adds in a few turns unless you can take Royalant out
extremely fast. Chances are you're around level 36-38 here, so you won't be
able to accomplish that quite yet. Still, you will want to burn Royalant down
as fast as possible. Use your strongest attacks, and concentrate on Royalant
even if you get adds. Royalant has 5500HP, but with(or without) Boosts, your
party should be able to take it out in 4-5 turns. Then, focus on the Bloodants
before dealing with any summoned Deathants. Royalant's Hammer attack can hit
2-4 times on random party members, so it can quickly take someone out if you're
unlucky. Heal carefully and go all out on this fight and you should be fine.

Defeating Royalant makes the other Bloodants disappear. Go East to the wall
from where Royalant initially was and you should find another Warp Point to
save you a few squares of walking. Map out this room and you should receive
confirmation saying that you've sufficiently mapped B12F for Radha Hall. The
stairs leading down to B13F are directly South of where you fought Royalant.
Return to town for a 5000en reward and a new mission!

*******************************************************************************

*****B13F*****  The soldier's washbasin  [W013]
New Monsters: Woodbat, Meltworm, Moriyana, Redclaw, Muckdile(FOE)
There's nothing really special about these new monsters, they're all pretty
simple. Muckdiles will turn red and join fights if you get too close. They can
hit your entire party with Bite, but it's not too bad.


The new mission is kind of vague. you're just supposed to look out for a
mysterious creature in the Labyrinth. They do suggest that the creature is
humanoid..., maybe we'll finally meet someone besides Ren or Tlachtga down
here! Anyways, check out the new quests and head on.

Head North from the stairs and take the path to the East first. You'll see
a chest directly North of you across the water. This is the first time you've
encountered all this water, just treat them like walls. You won't be able to
access that chest until much later anyways. Head East, skipping a path to the
South until you hit a wall. Head South to grab a Medica III out of the chest.
Head back West and take the path South this time to find a door. You'll find a
healing Spring in this room. Note: If you face South in the Spring room, you'll
notice a crack in the wall. Remember this for the shortcut later. Head back
to the stairs and take the path West this time.

Head West until you reach the wall and move a square South. You will be stopped
by a narration saying that you notice a shadow. No matter what you do, the
shadow will run away and disappear. Head South, the first path to the East is
a deadend so continue South to the wall then head East to the wall. Go North,
then East, then South, then West to reach a junction. Take the Eastern path
that leads South then West to find a chest with a Wind Whip inside. Head back
to the junction and head West, then South, then West. The path to the North
here leads to a deadend, head South, then East. Going all the way East leads
to a deadend, so take the path to the North to reach a 4-way junction. There
is a Muckdile FOE on the West and East sides. The West side is a deadend, but
the East side contains a chest with a Bravant II. After collecting the chest
and/or dealing with the Muckdiles, head North, West, North, and then East.
Take the path South, then East, then South, then East to enter a large
clearing. There are several Muckdile FOEs here. Head North to the wall, and go
1 square East, then face North to find the Warp Point. This awesome shortcut
lets you have easy access to the Spring, so take the Muckdiles out at your
leisure if you wish. Head East/Southeast of this clearing to the wall and then
Head North to find the stairs to B14F.

*******************************************************************************

*****B14F*****  The flood of gods' tears  [W014]
New Monsters: Vampbat, Sworder, Cutcrab, Killclaw(FOE)
Again, the new monsters aren't too bad. Cutcrab and Killclaw both have pretty
high physical defense, so magic is more effective against them. Killclaws
can also be quite dangerous since their Ripper attack has a chance of instantly
killing your characters. Note that on this floor, Killclaws usually only
appear when you are in a battle, usually during the 2nd round of a battle, so
take careful note of the map on your bottom screen. If you aren't ready for
the Killclaw adding into your fight, you might want to blow some TP or end the
fight quickly or even escape. They're not too bad though.


Check out the 3 new quests in town. One of them mentions collecting items from
"Chop" Item Points on B13F..., but we didn't see any. Well, we'll be returning
to B13F from B14F, so get ready for a confusing floor.

B14F contains several smaller platforms which are connected by lovely floating
lilypads. Unfortunately, not all of these lilypads give a 2-way trip; many
of them only go one way, so be wary of that.

This map may aid you in going through this floor:
http://kouryakusimasu.web.fc2.com/sekaiju/map/14.html
The numbers match the corresponding lilypads, though not all of them are 2-way.
The "f" marks where Killclaws may pop up, though there are some other locations
where Killclaws may appear.

Anyways, head West from the stairs. Ignore the first lilypad to the West and
head South. Take the path East to find a "Chop" Item Point. Head back West
and go South 2 squares. Remember this lilypad. If you'd like, you can continue
South all the way to find another lilypad which just leads you back to the
first one you ignored and a final lilypad at the very bottom. So, take the
middle lilypad to find yourself on a 4-way platform. Take the North lilypad
here.

Going East leads to a deadend, so go West and South. Beward of a Killclaw
spawning here if you get into a random encounter on this platform. Take the
lilypad East to find yourself back near the entrance. Take the 2nd lilypad from
the North again to return to the 4-way platform. This time, take the Southern
path. Go East to find yourself on the initial platform, head back on the
lilypad to the West. This time, head West again to find yourself 6 (3x2) square
platform. Head West again to find yourself on a 3x3 platform with a "Chop" Item
Point. Go back East to the 3x2 platform and take the lilypad North.

You will not be on a larger platform. Head East 2 squares to the wall and then
1 square South and 2 squares East. You will be stopped by a strange looking
girl. You find out her name is Kupala; she warns you and tells you to go no
further. Luckily, the games hints that you should follow. Good advice, since
you have to continue along this platform in order to get to the next floor.
There is quite a bit of sidetrekking to do here, so if you want to just
continue to the next floor, skip down to the "Continuing B14F" section below.

Head back West and North. You'll notice a lilypad going East which would take
you to the 4-way platform. Remember this path for an easy return to this
platform later. Head North and West 1 square each from that lilypad and take
this lilypad North. Beware of a Killclaw on this platform. Head to the SW of
this platform to take a lilypad South. There's a lilypad East here that would
take you to the platform where you met Kupala. Ignore that and head to the NW
of this platform to find a lilypad going North. Head to the NE of this platform
and take the lilypad East. You'll now be in a 1x3 platform. There is a lilypad
leading South, but it's oneway, so ignore it. Head East on the lilypad to
land on a large platform. Heading East here leads to a deadend, so head South
and East to find stairs leading back up to B13F.

*****Back to B13F*****

Head East from the stairs to find "Chop" and "Take" Item Points. You can
complete the gathering quest here. Head North from the stairs. The path to the
East is a deadend, so head West, then South, and then West. Go North and take
the Eastern path first. You'll find a "Take" Item Point here. Head North to
find another "Chop" Item Point. From the "Chop" Item Point, head all the way
West to find a chest with an Amrita II inside. Beware of Killclaws around
here. Head back to the "Take" Item Point and head West. Take the 2nd path to
the South and go East to find the Violet Key! Now, go back North and head West
to the wall, then go South and West. The first path to the North leads to a
deadend. Go West to the wall and North to find a Fang Glove in a chest.

Now that you have the Violet Key, there are several excellent treasures that
you can pick up. Hint: if you opened up the Gem Staff, don't buy any!

*****Violet Crystals*****

B1F: The crystal is located in the C3/C4 area of the map. Go inside to find
2 chests which give you a Gem Staff and a Nectar II.

B8F: The crystal was just North of the Spring. There are a whopping 7 chests
inside! You will find Moccasins, Hamao, Medica V, and a Nectar II in the bottom
chests. The top 3 chests contain 500en, 1500en, and 1000en.

B10F: The crystal is in the B7/A7 area near where you fought the Omnivore for
the B10F quest. You'll find 3 chests inside which contain a Gem Staff, a
Nectar II, and 1400en.

B11F: This crystal leads you on a long winding path. Be prepared for a long
journey before attempting this. I suggest bringing several Amrita II along if
you can. The crystal is located in the D1/E1 area of the map.

Going West and South initially leads to a deadend. There is a long winding
path to the East with several deadends. You'll be fighting a mix of B11F-B14F
monsters. There are 2 Muckdile FOEs along the way. When you finally reach the
Easternmost wall (1 square West from the edge of E6/F6), head North and West
to reach a chest with a 7 Doublet inside. Go back East and South to find stairs
up to B10F.

B10F: Head all the way West to find stairs up to B9F.

B9F: Go North and East. There are 5 small nooks to the South, each one contains
a Moa FOE if you want to fight them. Head all the way East to find stairs up
to B8F.

B8F: Head East. There are 3 holes to the South, each contains a Killclaw FOE
that will pop up when you move past it. Head SE past some poison tiles to the
stairs to B7F.

B7F: This is painful. Hope your Medic still has lots of TP, and you have some
TP Recovery items/methods. Follow the long winding map. Yes, you'll be taking
tons of poison damage along the way. Eventually you will reach a door. You'll
now see a huge clearing with plenty more poison tiles around. You're probably
heavily weakened from this floor alone, so head straight West, pick up the
Medica IV in the chest and then head North along the Western wall. 7 squares
North from the chest, you will find a Warp Point! Now, you can return here
whenever you want. There is a quest for this area later, the Alraune monster
is here.

If you have some extra steam, or want to return later, there is a chest in
each corner of this huge room. The NW chest contains a Surcoat, the NE chest
contains a Soma, and the SE chest contains a Bravant II.


*****Continuing B14F*****

Return to where you met Kupala. Head South and East to find a chest with a
Medica III inside. Take the lilypad South. Taking the lilypad to the East
leads to an empty 2x2 platform. Take the South lilypad to arrive on a 1x3
platform. Take the West lilypad here to find a chest with an Ice Mist. Take the
lilpyad back East and then take another lilypad East. There is a Killclaw to
watch out for on this platform. Head East then North and take the lilypad.
You'll find yourself on a 4x3 platform with 2 treasure chests. The FOE here is
a Muckdile. The chests contain 800en, and a Hamao. Take the lilypad back South.
Go 1 square South and then head West and take this lilypad. Take the next
lilypad West to find yourself on a platform with 2 lilypads going West. The
Northern one takes you to an empty 2x2 platform that leads you back to the
first platform from where you met Kupala. The South lilypad leads you to the
final 3x3 platform which contains the stairs down to B15F.


*******************************************************************************

*****B15F*****  Lord of the celestial ocean  [W015]
E1 chests Blaze Oil, Scale Boot

Go straight North from the stairs through a door to grab 2 treasure chests.
You'll find a Scale Boot and a Blaze Oil inside.

Head to the East and you'll receive a warning before the door. It hints of a
threat just behind the door.

Return to town and rest up before entering the room if you need to. You'll
find one new quest in town if you do.

Head through the door and go East. Kupala will show up. She seems quite mad at
you, so she decides to summon a giant monster to kill you!

*****Cotrangl*****
This guy has 7000 HP. He's weak to fire. He can use Blizzard to hit your
entire party, and he hits hard as you would expect from a boss. You probably
want to be at least level 40. Level 45-48 or even higher is good for this guy
though. Just use your standard defensive tactics (Defender and Immunize) and
just have your attackers go to town on this overgrown manta ray...thing.

If the killing blow you land on Cotrangl is not a Fire attack, he can drop the
Ice Spine, which can be sold to open up the best bow in the game.
Unfortunately, that bow costs 114,000en, so it might be awhile until you can
afford it.

After you beat Cotrangl, you can explore the local area and then take the
lilypad East to find stairs down to B16F. The Geomagnetic Field is just ahead.

Killing Cotrangl counts as completing the quest for Radha Hall, so return to
town and you'll receive a 8000en reward. There's no new mission for now, so
you're free to explore the new stratum!


*********************4th Stratum Sandy Barrens******************************

*****B16F*****  The pathless drifting sand  [W016]
New Monsters: Goldeer, Flamerat, Mantis, Sabremaw, Sickwood(FOE)
These monsters aren't too much stronger. Flamerat is obviously strong against
Fire attacks. If you kill the Mantis in one round, you can get a special drop,
the Silver Eye. Sickwood FOEs can Poison the entire party, but otherwise, they
aren't too bad. They do aggro and chase you though.


This floor can quickly become very frustrating due to the moving sand. Use this
map if you need help: http://kouryakusimasu.web.fc2.com/sekaiju/map/16.html
Also, don't forget to check for new quests.

We will visit the doors from East to West for the sake of completing the map.
So, head South from the Geomagnetic Field and head all the way East. You will
find a crack in the wall on the East, but you can't do anything with that for
now, so take the Eastern most door. This door will shove you onto some moving
sand that'll take you North and West. From this platform, going West won't
take you anywhere, and going South still just take you in a loop. Take the
North path and you'll choose between a path to the North and South. Going South
here leads you on another loop so go North. From here, going West nets you
nothign. Go North to find a little clearing with a Sickwood FOE. Go to the NE
area of this room to find a one way Warp to the North. Follow the long path
West then South all the way to the wall. Check the Eastern wall to find a one
way Warp back to the first area where all the doors are. Time for the next
door.

The 2nd door from the East is quite literally useless and pointless. All it
does is take you to a point where you might as well have entered from the
Eastern most door. So, take the path to map it and walk around or Warp Wire, or
just ignore it completely. Next door.

The 3rd door from the East is also quite useless. It forces you North and then
East, which puts you back where you'd be if you had taken either of the 2 other
Eastern doors.

Now, take the 1st door West of the Geomagnetic Field. It will take you West and
North. From here, you can go West to be taken into a loop. Or, you can go East
or North. If you go East, you can then go South to enter a loop, or East to
find yourself in the position from any of the 3 Eastern doors. So, head North.
This will take you to a small area with a 2x2 square of moving sand. Go West
here and then go North. You'll find yourself in a small room with a chest
containing a Theriaca B. From here, you can find a one way Warp in the NE
corner of the room and loop around or Warp Wire and take the Geomagnetic Field
back.

Quickly, I will mention that the next 2 doors to the West both just lead to
the same general area as the 1st door West. In other words, the 1st door West
of the Geomagnetic Field is the only one you really need. Go through it and go
North again. This time, go North over 2 squares of moving sand, and then go
North over some more sand. Here you will find an area with a "Mine" Item Point
as well as 2 Sickwood FOEs. This "Mine" Item Point lets you gather Cullinan,
which is used for a quest. Also, there is a special item that opens up at
Shilleka's if you sell her 50 x Cullinan. This can be a good place to farm. One
way warp in the NE corner again, so make your way back to the beginning.

Take the 1st door West again. Go North to the 2x2 square of moving sand and
take the 2 squares North. This time, go East to be taken East then South. Go
West here and take the one panel of moving sand South. Head East here to be
taken East then North. Now, go East to be taken East and North. From here, you
can go several ways. I will list them below, return to this area before taking
each of these paths.

1:
Go East 2 squares then go either East or South 1 square. If you went East, just
go 1 square South. If you went South, move 2 squares East, then go South. Now,</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
go West onto the moving sand. One you've stopped, move 2 squares West and face
South to find a chest with a Brigandine inside.

2:
Go 2 squares East and then go North. Take the moving sand North. There will be
nooks to the West and East that each contain a Sickwood FOE. Head North to find
a clearing with a chest containing 1000en. From here, you can find a one way
Warp in the NE corner or Warp Wire out.

3:
This path takes you to the end of the stage, though you are forced to return to
town once first. Take the sand West to move 2 squares West and 2 squares North.
Going North here just leads to another empty room, so go West. After you stop,
go North 2 squares to find Tlachtga waiting for you. She'll give you the Hex
Bell which can be used to unlock the Hexer class at the Explorers Guild.

Head North from Tlachtga and go West and South to find a Rainbow Bandanna on
the ground if you have the "Love's uncertain promise" quest. Go back North
and East to the wall. If you face North, you'll find a one way Warp leading
to an empty room. Head South to find an area where it seems a tablet can be
placed. Suspecting that this might have something to do with the tablet you
found on B15F, you are told to return to Radha Hall to report your discovery.

At Radha Hall, you will be given the tablet, so take it back to that slot.
You will open up a Warp to the stairs to B17F.

return to place the tablet warps you to stairs

*******************************************************************************

*****B17F*****  Doorway into the unknown  [W017]
New Monsters: Hexroot, Immoa
Hexroot can Curse you. That's about it for the new monsters on the floor. The
FOEs will all be Sickwoods.


Check for some new quests after being on this floor. This area is full of many
one way Warps and only 1 two way Warp Point that can be used as a shortcut.
This map can be a big help:
http://kouryakusimasu.web.fc2.com/sekaiju/map/17.html
Ignore the long paths that surround the center for now. For this floor, I will
list the quickest way to get all the treasures and get to the stairs. There are
many empty and useless platforms in this area that you're free to explore
using the map or on your own.

Head straight North from the stairs. When you reach the junction, Kupala will
show up once again and tell you that you've violated some sort of pact. If you
return to Radha Hall, you will get to talk to the Visil, the Chieftan again. He
will repeat his message to kill all of the forest folk. You'll also get a hint
of some deeper story when you leave the Hall.

Anyways, from the place where you met Kupala, head East and then South. Take
the one way Warp East, then go 3 squares North and take another one way Warp
East. You'll find an empty clearing here you can map with a Sickwood FOE.

Head back to where you met Kupala and head West then South. Take the one way
Warp West and go North 3 squares and head West again. Go West one square, then
South 3 squares. Here, take a one way Warp West. Go North to the wall and take
a one way Warp West, and then another one way Warp West. Go South to find a
chest with an Amrita II inside. Go North 1 square and take the one way Warp
East. Now go South to the wall and take a one way Warp West. There is a
Sickwood FOE in this area. Go South to the wall and take a one way Warp East.
Go one square North and then take another Warp to the East.

Now, from this point, head 5 squares East and face North to find a Warp Point.
Open it up and then return South. Now, go East to the wall and face North to
take a one way Warp. Head West to find a chest with a Sandy Pin inside. From
here, you can take a series of one way Warps back to the Eastern side or just
Warp Wire out. I will now describe how to use the shortcut from the entrance
to B17F.

Head North, West, and then South from the entrance of B17F. Take the one way
Warp West and then head 3 squares North to take another one way Warp to the
West. Go one square West and then all the way South to the wall. Face West
and take another one way Warp. Here, go South and then East to the wall. Now,
you can face South to find the 2 way Warp Point. Take it and head 4 squares
East. Take the Warp North to find the stairs to B18F.

*******************************************************************************

*****B18F*****  Nature's boundless horizon  [W018]
New Monsters: Mystic, Warrior, Soldier, Druid, Pixie, Bud(FOE), Nighttoad(FOE),
Hextoad(FOE), Diabolix(FOE), Cruella(FOE)

The Elves on this floor (Mystic, Warrior, Soldier, Druid) are all strong
against Bow attacks. Some of them also have a Blazer attack that can hit
your entire party for 100 damage or so. If you're not really overleveled, I
would suggest spending TP to take the enemies out before they can heavily
damage you.

The Nighttoad and Hextoad FOEs are part of the "Versus the unknown" quest, see
the quest section for information on these monsters there.

The Bud is the seemingly randomly teleporting FOE you can see on the map. To
fight him, go North 1 step from the entrance to B18F from B17F. Then, go 2
steps East, 12 steps South, and go East until you get the encounter(should be 6
to 7 steps). This monster drops the M Leaf, several of which are needed to
make a strong item later in the game.

The Diabolix and Cruella are mini-boss like FOEs. Diabolix can curse your
party while Cruella can confuse them. They can both move pretty quickly, so
be careful since Diabolix could get a Curse off on your entire party before
they act, causing your damage dealers to seriously injure themselves.

The Pixies only appear in the later area of this floor. The can petrify members
of your party, which is useful for the "Apothecary's request I" quest.


B18F is a huge floor. It's a giant clearing, not the standard labyrinth
passageways. The floor isn't too complicated though. There are just some
scattered trees and Item Points. If you really want to use a map, you can
find it from the links section.

When you first step foot onto the floor, head North to meet Ren and Tlachtga.
They chat with you about various things. You can head East 1 square after this
conversation for another with Ren and Tlachtga again. They hint at what
exploring this area may mean for the town of Etria. From here, you're free to
explore the floor. Ren and Tlachtga hinted of a secret exit, it's in the SW
of this huge area. Before making a beeline down there, take note of a special
tree. It is 9 squares North and 2 squares East of the entrance. Face this
tree from the South to receive a warning about how there is a strong monster
on this Stratum you have not yet faced(Note: this may not be doable until the
Stratum has been completed). This opens a path in the SE area of B16F.

You will notice a healing fountain in the Southern area. This floor can be a
decent area to collect items and EXP. Here is a list of the Item Points on
this floor:

B18F  Take A4: Sand Cloth, Cross Seed, Cordyceps
     Take A7: Sand Cloth, Cross Seed, Cordyceps
     Chop B3: Sand Twig, Dry Peach, Sap Wine
     Chop C6: Dry Peach, Cross Seed, Sap Wine
     Mine D3: Hard Shard, Steel Chip, Cullinan
     Mine E6: Hard Shard, Steel Chip, Cullinan

Once you are ready, head to the SW area of the map to receive a message saying
you've discovered the secret passage. Take the Warp West. You will be in a
small clearing with 3 nooks in the North. Only the center one leads anywhere,
but it's blocked by a FOE. Take it on, it's a Diabolix. After defeating it,
take a one way Warp North and head North then West then South to find a chest
containing an Axcela II. Go back North and then East to the wall. You will
encounter a Cruella FOE around here. Going South here leads to a deadend so go
North. 4 squares before reaching the wall to the North, face East to find a
Warp Point/shortcut. Then continue North then West. Going North here leads to
a deadend which contains a one way Warp back to the NW tip of the huge area.
Go South then West then North to find the stairs to B19F.

*******************************************************************************

*****B19F*****  An excursion into despair  [W019]
New Monsters: Redbeak, Faerie
Redbeaks move fast and Faeries can terrify or blind the party and are strong
against magic attacks.


This floor is another collection of many one way Warp Points. This time,
however, the points can leap randomly across the map and aren't as intuitive
as the paths on B17F. Please reference this map if you need to:
http://kouryakusimasu.web.fc2.com/sekaiju/map/19.html
The corresponding numbers show where one point leaps to the next.

You will notice little bushes on the walls, those are the points that can be
checked to Warp. Head straight South from the stairs to the wall. Facing West,
you will notice a crack that will be used at the end of the floor. Face East
and take the Warp across the map. Now head all the way North and face West
and take the Warp. Head South to the wall and take the Warp South. Go South and
West and Warp North. There is a Sick wood FOE in this area. Go West then South
and take the Warp South to find a small room with a Chest containing a Tiger
Hand. Warp back North and head North some more to take another Warp Point.

You'll find yourself in a clearing with a "Chop" Item Point. Go to the NW
corner and take the Warp West. Go all the way West and take another Warp West. \
Now go South and take the Warp South. Go South then East to find another "Chop"
Item Point. Go back up and take the Warp North. Go East this time and take the
Warp East. Follow the path East, North, East, South, and East to the wall. Face
South and take the Warp South. Go West to the wall then face North to take
another Warp. Head to the center of the junction and go South. You'll be in a
room with a chest containing 1800en. Go back North to the junction and head
West this time. You will see 2 choices of pathes now. They will both lead to
the same place. The Western one is empty, but the middle one takes you past
2 Diabolix FOEs. You will reach the other side of the room. Whichever path
you take, head North to the wall and West to take a Warp. Go South to take a
final Warp.

Move one square South and you'll receive a warning of a dreadful presence
ahead. Actually, there are just 2 FOEs, a Diabolix and a Cruella. Be careful
fighting them though, since the other will probably add itself to the fight
before you can finish the first. After the fight, go to the SE of this area
to find a convenient Warp Point to the first room of this floor. Now, you can
take the stairs down to the final floor of this Stratum.

*****B20F*****  Gold wings for the pilgrims [W020]
New Monsters: Hunter(FOE), Ogre(FOE)
These guys are both pretty fearsome on their own. They both have solid HP and
defense. They both hit pretty hard and can hit the entire party at once. In
addition to that, you have to worry about Diabolix, Cruella, and other FOEs
adding onto the fight on this floor. Poison may be effective on both the
Ogre and Hunter. Trickery can also help you take away the sting of their
strong physical attacks.

Head North from the stairs and you'll see Kupala again. She'll tell you that
if you can defeat the Forest Folk's strongest Guardian, she will let you pass.

You'll notice many FOEs running around. Your goal is to kill all of them. If
you leave the floor and rest, they will all respawn (though sometimes only
half?). So, prepare yourself with lots of Amrita IIs and other items for the
long fights. Luckily, there are no random encounters on this floor, so you
can concentrate on the FOEs. On the Eastern part of this map, you will find
a door to a small room that contains a "Take" Item Point and a chest with an
Amrita II. On the Western side, you will find a Violet Crystal that leads to
a room with 3 chests inside. These chests contain a Vine Bow, a Medica IV, and
a Nectar II. Once you've destroyed all of the FOEs, head to the center of the
floor to fight the stationary boss, Iwaopeln. If you attempt to fight Iwaopeln
before you take out all of the FOEs, you can kill him, but he will immediately
respawn.

*****Iwaopeln*****
You may want to be as high as level 50 before taking this guy on. He can
Terrify your entire party with Roar, or paralyze and damage everyone with
Voltwing. He can also petrify with Rockbeak. So, bring lots of Theriaca B along
if you don't have a Medic with a high level Refresh. Use Defender and Immunize
and then go to town with your damage dealers. Iwaopeln has an attack called
Feathers that is similar to Royalant's Hammer attack. It is a series of 3-5
separate attacks that can deal 250-300 damage each. This can seriously hurt
your party. He usually only uses this attack once he's below 30% or so HP, so
be prepared for it.

After you defeate Iwaopeln, Kupala shows up. She basically says that the Forest
Folk give up. She sounds quite pathetic. She'll tell you that there's a hidden
passageway to the next Stratum. Head to the A4 section of the floor and check
the SW corner to find a Warp Point West. You'll find a "Take" Chop Point here
as well as stairs down to the next Stratum!

Enter the next stratum, go South and West. Then take the first door to the
North to find the Geomagnetic Field.

When you return to Radha Hall, you'll receive 15000en for completing the
mission. Subaltern Quinn will comment that no human has ever entered the 5th
Stratum before. You will also discover that the Chieftan Visil has left the
Hall. Quinn will give you an unofficial mission to search for the missing
Chieftan.


*********************5th Stratum Lost Shinjuku*********************************

*****B21F*****  A bounty of relics  [W021]
New Monsters: Burstgel, Maul, Silker, Kingfrog, Darkhare, Dinolich(FOE)
The Burstgels are strong against fire, but weak to ice. All of the new monsters
hit fairly hard. They can cause a variety of Binds or status effects (mostly
poison), but it's nothing too painful.
Dinolichs can hit very hard, especially after they charge their attack. If you
kill a Dinolich with a non-Bow attack, it has a chance of dropping a Sword Rib,
which can be sold to open a very powerful sword.


This stratum is all connected to some degree, especially B21F-B24F. From the
Geomagnetic Field, go South out the door and West to another door which
contains a "Mine" Item Point.

***IMPORTANT***
This is pretty much the best farming spot in the game. You can make a party of
5 low level survivalists with the Mine skill. Even if you get an encounter,
you should be able to escape before your party is wiped out. The Mine attempts
of dead party members are still usable when you reach the Item Point. With
36-40 gather attempts per day, you can easily get over 20000en per run.

Moving on. You can go NW from here, but it just loops back to the stairs from
B20F. Head South to find a large opening. There is a Dinolich FOE patrolling
around the area that will begin to chase you if you get too close to it. If
you head all of the way South, you will find a little empty space. There are
2 doors to the East and 2 paths to the West. Also, on the walls, you will find
a pair of elevators; however, neither of them are in working condition.

First, head West through one of the two paths and go North. You will find a
set of stairs down to B22F. You will find yourself in a single panel room, but
you will find a note on the floor that hints at what it going on. Go back up
the stairs. If you go all the way South, you'll find another set of stairs down
to B22F. This area is completely empty and a deadend though. Now, it's time to
head back to the clearing and head through the doors to the East.

Both doors lead to the same large clearing. Head to the Eastern part of the
room. You will be stopped by a message describing the tree stretched in front
of you. You will also get a warning of a fight ahead... Head East over the
Tree when you are ready for a Boss fight.

*****HUGE SPOILER*****


























































*****Ren and Tlachtga*****
Yup, that's right. It's finally time to fight them. You should be about the
same level as when you fought Iwaopeln. This fight actually isn't extremely
difficult. Ren and Tlachtga are both restricted to the moves that Ronin and
Hexers have. Ren has 7000 HP and Tlachtga has 5000 HP. I would recommend
taking Tlachtga out first anyways since she has lower defense anyways. Also,
she is capable of causing some painful status effects to your party. Bring
along a high level Refresh or some Theriaca B. Ren will go into the Iai stance,
so watch out for Kubuichi which can instantly kill a party member. After
taking Tlachtga out, Ren should follow quickly.
After you defeat the pair, they will hand you a Card Key and tell you that
Visil is waiting for you on the deepest floor.

Now, B21F is a symmetrical floor, so head East to a similar room that has 2
doors leading East. From here, there's an empty area to the South again, and
2 elevators that do not work yet. Head North to find 2 doors. The one on the
East contains a "Chop" Item Point, while the Western door contains a chest with
a Fur Boot inside. Going further West causes you to just loop around. Now, head
to the East and go North, since the South end is a deadend. Watch for another
Dinolich FOE. You will find a set of stairs down to B22F.

*****B22F*****  The steel rendezvous  [W022]
New Monsters: Direwolf, Clawlord
Direwolves are strong against Fire magic and weak to Ice magic. They can use a
Blazer attack that deals 60-100 damage to the entire party. Clawlords are weak
to magic, though at this point, your physical attacks can take it down fairly
quickly.


Head West and North to find a set of stairs down to B23F. You'll find another
note here. It even mentions Visil...
Anyways, go back up to B22F and take the door South. There are several nooks
and crannies here, but head in the SE direction to find a door. Go through it
and head South to find a "Chop" Item Point. Now, go back to the door and go
North then West, then South. When you reach a junction, you can go West over
the Tree or South. Going South leads to a deadend. Go West over the tree and
then North, West, then South to find a door.

Here, you can go South to take a long empty loop, or just head North. Either
way, there is a FOE around here. Head to the NE area to find a door. Go through
the door and head NE. Take the Eastern path back across the Tree. Going North
here is a deadend, so go South to find a door that leads to a room with a
chest that holds a Pattisa. Go back West across the Tree and all the way to
the NW to find stairs down to B23F.

*****B23F*****  Ghost town of granted dreams  [W023]
New Monsters: Varaha, Armoroll, Kingapis, Hellbull, Muskoid, Kingyana,
Kingdile(FOE), Desouler(FOE)
Varaha usually appears alone, so he's quite simple. He doesn't have much HP
but can hit the entire party if he lives too long. He also drops Golden Fur
for the "The gold enthusiast" quest. Hellbull also can drop Golden Furs.
Armorolls are quite annoying since they hit hard, have high physical defense,
and appear in pretty large groups. Use lots of magic to take them out.
Muskoids are the next annoying version of Petaloids that can put your party
to sleep.
Kingdile is a FOE that can aggro and chase you from very far away. It can
charge up to deal your party heavy damage. Kingdile's Shred attack can
instantly kill one of your characters.
Desoulers like to pop up in the numerous corners and deadends on Floors 22-24
and then chase you.
If you see a FOE start chasing you, it is probably a better idea to stop and
take it out instead of risking it adding onto a random encounter.


Make sure to check for new quests each time you step onto a new floor, even if
it's only for a second.

Go South and West to find a door and stairs to B24F. You can head down to
B24F to open more quests or explore, but for this walkthrough, we'll head
through the door and explore the entire area before returning to explore that
part of B24F.

Take the door and head South and East to find a clearing. Continue East through
a door to find a "Mine" Item Point. Go back out the door and head South. You
will find a non-working elevator on the West. Head East to find another door.
Continue East, you will meet a Kingdile FOE. The area where you fight the
Kingdile has exits on all 4 corners. Head to the NE corner first and go
through a door to find a "Mine" Item Point. Go back to where you fought the
Kingdile and head SE this time. Our first goal is to get the elevators working.
Remember this area and the NW path for later.

The NE path leads you South and then West. Head SE down a winding path until
you are forced to go West. Continue along your way, there is a Warp Wire in a
chest in the F3 area if you want to pick it up. There are Desoulers that will
pop out from the nooks to chase you, so beware of those. Continue SW and you
will find stairs leading back up to B22F.

*****Back to B22F*****
Head North and East then South and East. If you go East across the Tree, you
will find a door, but it's all empty. Head North instead of taking the tree to
find another Door that leads up North. Head East and take the path North to
find a "Mine" Item Point. Head back South and continue East. When you reach
the wall, if you go South 1 square, you will see a metal Ankh on the ground.
I highly suggest marking this on your map as you will need to remember this
location for a postgame quest. From here, head North and East. There is a
deadend to the North and an elevator to the NE. Head SE now. There are a bunch
of deadends, but head into the door at E7 to find stairs up to B21F.

*****Back to B21F*****
Head North and West. Remember that B21F is fairly symmetrical, so there are 2
rooms in this area as well as an empty look around them. The Eastern door
contains a "Take" Item Point. The Western door has a chest which holds a
Magnet. Take the Northern door to find a path across the Tree. You will meet
a Kingdile FOE as you cross the Tree. Head South and West and take the door.
There are 2 more rooms here, with an empty path around them. The Eastern door
holds another "Take" Item Point. Head into the Western room. In the center
of the room, you will notice another metal Ankh. Mark this for later, and head
to the South center square and face South. You will see a panel on the wall.
Check it to activate the elevators. From here, you will probably want to Warp
Wire out.

Rest up and head back to B21F through the Geomagnetic Field. Head to the 2
Western elevators. The Northern one takes you down to B25F, but you'll just
end up in a small empty hallway. The Southern elevator can take you to B22F,
B23F, or B24F. Take it down to B22F first.

*****Back to B22F*****
Head NE to find a chest with a Nectar II inside. Then head SW to find a chest
containing 3000en. Head back to the elevator and take it to B24F.

*****A Glimpse of B24F*****
From the elevator, you can head East through a door to a room that's empty
except for a Desouler FOE if you want. Otherwise, head South and West, then
South through a door to find stairs up to B23F.

*****Back to B23F*****
Head North through a door then East. There is a Kingdile FOE to the SE and
a door to the NE. There are 2 chests inside the door containing a Composite and
a Medica IV. From here, you want to return to the elevator either on B24F or
on B21F. This time, take the elevator to B23F.

From the elevator, head back to the the area with an exit on each corner where
you fought a Kingdile. Now is the time to take the NW path. It'll take you East
and North. There will be some empty nooks to the East. Head West and North.
There are many more deadends including a long one to the West. When you reach
the furthest North wall, head East until you hit a wall, then go South and
East. Head West to find a chest with a Nectar II inside. Head back East from
the chest and then head NE. Head to the NW to find a "Take" Item Point. You
can collect Angel Wings here for "A sister's parting gift." Head East and then
South. As you head South, check the West for a one square nook that holds
another metal Ankh. Remember this for later. Continue South, then head East
and then North to find stairs down to B24F.

*****B24F*****  Road of inner sorrow  [W024]
New Monsters: Some of the B23F monsters may be new to you, but that's about it.


There's a door to the South, but it leads to an empty room. Head North and then
West along a long path. At the A3 area, take the path South. The path to the
West from here is a deadend. Head South through a door and go South to the
wall. Head West and North to find a chest with a Blood Gage inside. Head back
South and then East. You will pass 2 doors to the North. The Western one leads
to a "Take" Item Point, and the Eastern one leads to a "Mine" Item Point.

Past the Item Points, head South. The first path to the East is a deadend.
Head all the way South passing a door and head East to find an elevator that
you can mark for future reference. Go back to the door and head through. Go
North and West to find another metal Ankh to remember. Head South and West,
watching for Desouler FOEs spawning. Head North and West along the remaining
two paths to find a chest on each path containing a Medica V and a Nectar III.

From here, head back to the elevator. Take it up to B23F to find a "Chop" Item
Point in a large and otherwise empty room. Now, there is just a little more
to explore if you want to before heading to B25F. Skip to the B25F if you are
willing to skip some items for now. Otherwise, head back to the Western pair
of elevators, and head down to B23F.

*****Back to B23F*****
It's finally time to head back to the NW of B23F and head down to B24F to
explore that area.

*****Back to B24F*****
There is a deadend to the East as soon as you arrive on this floor again. Head
South and take the 2nd East. The 1st one is another deadend. You'll be in a
large clearing with a door to the N and one to the SE. There are FOEs prawling
all over this next area, mostly Kingdiles and Desoulers. Take the Northern
door to find a Healing Spring in a room where there are no random encounters.
Take the SE door and head East. Take the first South; the path to the East
leads to a deadend where a Desouler will spawn. Head South to the wall. The
2 paths you pass are both deadends where more Desoulers spawn. Head South and
East. You will see a Dinolich FOE. Take the path to the North that loops East,
North, then West to find a chest with a Circlet inside. Head back South and
East. Head North and East through a door. Take the Southern path when you see
it. Going further East leads to another deadend and a Desouler. The Southern
path takes you South and West. Watch for the door to the South. This leads to
a small room containing a "Chop" Item Point. Also, check the Eastern corner of
this small room to find another metal Ankh. Head North out the door and
continue West. You'll pass another door that leads to a deadend. Continue West
until you reach the E2 area. Take the door here South. Follow the path South
and East. You'll pass a "Mine" Item Point and a Dinolich FOE. There are many
nooks and crannies throughout, but just follow the path all the way East until
you come upon a door and a set of stairs up to B23F. Go through the door to
find a chest with 3500 en before taking the stairs.

*****Back to B23F*****
Head North through the door and take the Western path that eventually leads to
a door and a chest containing a Somaprime. Go back to the stairs and take the
stairs up to B22F.

*****Back to B22F*****
You'll find another crumpled note here. That's it for exploring B21F-B24F! It's
now time to tackle the final floor!

*****Back to B21F*****
Head to the Eastern elevators on B21F. Take the Northern one down to B25F.

*****B25F*****  The moment of epiphany  [W025]
New Monsters: Treetusk(FOE)
It's a big elephant FOE that can hit pretty hard, but nothing too special about
him. He has a special drop that can be obtained if the killing blow is not a
physical attack.


You can either head North or West when you first enter this floor. Heading
North takes you on a long path that only leads to one chest, so fair warning.
Head North and East and then South. You'll pass a Treetusk FOE. Head West once
you hit the wall, then go North and West to the wall. Go South and then East,
South, East, and South. Head West to the wall, then South, then East. A deadend
with a Desouler is to the North here. Head South and East, then North and East
to find the chest. Your reward is a Hamaoprime. You can continue SW to find
another Desouler FOE, but the rest of the area is empty. Head back to the
elevator.

Now, head West and North. You can check the wall to the West which reveals a
shortcut to be opened later on. Head East and North to the wall. Head SE here
to find a Demon Coat inside a chest. You will pass a Desouler FOE as well.
Head back West and take the Western path this time. The path to the South
leads to a deadend, so continue West, passing a Treetusk FOE. The next 2 paths
to the South both lead to long deadends. Continue West to the wall before
heading South. Head South and West to find a Nectar II inside a chest. You'll
pass another Desouler FOE. Continue South. There will be a deadend to the
East and a Treetusk in the area you want to pass through. Continue SW and
South. Then, follow the path East, North, East, South, West, South, West,
South, East, South, and then West. A Desouler spawns to the NW, and the SW
holds a chest with a Soma inside. Continue SE along the path heading East,
North, East, North, East, then South, passing another Desouler. Finally, head
East into a large room. Head North. Several Kingdile FOEs will spawn at the
Southern wall and head North. Head to the NE corner of the room and open the
shortcut. Now, return to the Northern center wall. You will find the Chieftan
of Radha Hall, Visil, awaiting you. If you accidentally encounter him before
opening the shortcut and heading back to town to save, just say "No" to the
question he asks you. Make sure you have saved all your progress on B25F before
heading through the door.

*****Etreant*****
Here's the final boss and he's no joke! He has 18,000 HP and hits very, very
hard. He's got attacks that hit your party for lots of physical or elemental
damage, and he has a skill that can remove all of your status buffs to boot!
If you have a Hexer or Dark Hunter, you may want to try Bind Arm on him to
prevent him from removing your buffs. The Protector's Smite ability also works,
but has a lower chance of working. Without being able to remove your buffs,
Just keep Defender/Shelter and Immunize up to keep his attacks weak. Level 10
buffs can take attacks that deal 450 to everyone in your party down to dealing
only 10-15 damage. You'll probably want to be around level 60, if not higher,
for this fight. If you can't Bind Arm, then just diligently rebuff whenever
your buffs get removed. If this is the case, you'll want to make sure you have
some AGI gear or buffs to make sure you can get rebuffed before Etreant gets
a chance to hit you.

Once you beat Etreant, sit back and enjoy the credits! Make sure you actually
watch until the end so that you can save your cleared game. Now, it's time for
5 more floors and the other postgame content!!!

I have since checked each point for accuracy; there were several coordinate
corrections. The setup remains very similar to that of the Japanese site,
mainly in the order of the listed Item Points.

1.  Adventurer's initiation
New adventurers must be tested by mapping the 1st floor of the Labyrinth. Meet
the soldier on B1F for the details.

Comments: Make sure you only draw the walls on the map. You can place Events
however you want, and it won't matter. Just make sure the walls are correct.

of the pack, and perhaps their menace will be no more.

Comments:  You receive a 2000en reward for your efforts. See the "Bosses"
section for strategy.

Comments: geez.. brutal

***Quests***  [L008]

I originally listed these in approximately the order I encountered each quest;
however, I found that it was not as accurate as it could be, so I just
rearranged the quests in the order they are displayed in the game's log. Just
search the entire name of the quest to find the one you are looking for.

The leathersmith's favor

An Etrian artisan desires seven strips of Soft Hide, for the purpose of
making clothes.  Reward: 200en

Comments: Collect 7 pieces of Soft Hide and turn the quest in.

To taste it once more...

An old adventurer getting on in years wishes for holy water that can only
be found within the forest.  Reward: Medica II

Comments:  Pretty simple, go to the soldier, he'll point you to the SE of B1F
where the holy water is.

A favor to Shilleka I

Shilleka has posted a request for the materials necessary to craft a Hand Axe.
Reward: Hand Axe

Comments:  Shilleka asks you for 5 Hard Shells and 5 Hardwood.  The former is
a drop from Clawbugs while the latter is from the item points on B1F.

Monstrous Codex

I'm investigating monster habitats within the labyrinth.  Inscribe ten monsters
into the Codex, please.  Reward: Red Charm

Comments:  You will probably complete this quest around the beginning of B3F.

A certain shop's request

A certain shop in Etria has requested one measure of Pyroxene from the forest,
useful in constructing walls.  Reward: 300en

Comments:  You get Pyroxene from "Mine" Item Points.  There are 2 of these on
B4F.

A favor to Shilleka II

Shilleka is now in need of materials from which she can craft a Short Bow fit
for explorers.   Reward: Short Bow

Comments: Shilleka asks you for 2 Horns and 5 Gum Hides. Sell them to her and
then report to the Pub to get your free Short Bow.

Subduing the Woodflies

A student at Ceft Apothecary requests that the Woodflies thwarting her
herb-gathering be exterminated.  Reward: Theriaca A

Comments: Depending on if you have already encountered the Venomflies in the
2nd Item Point clearing on B1F, this quest may already be complete for you.
If it is already complete, you will receive the Theriaca A, but Valerie will
comment about your guild's reputation. If you go and kill the Venomflies
after accepting this quest, Valerie will give you a Medica in addition to
the Theriaca A.

Note: If you run from the Venomflies or do not rest, you will just receive
the Theriaca A.

To meet a swordsman...

A terminally ill boy of Etria wishes to meet a brave and excellent landsknecht
before he dies.  Reward: The boy's treasure

Comments:  Level a Landsneckt to 20, and you'll get a reminder to turn the
quest in. The reward is a Bravant.

Chef's odd request I

Jackson Restaurant seeks adventurers talented in the use of Fire to satisfy its
latest request. Alchemists welcome. Reward: 200en

Comments: All you need is an Alchemist who has learned Fire. You could just
make a new Alchemist and toss 1 skill point into Fire Up and 1 point into Fire
to satisfy this quest. Easy 200en.

Shadow in the grove

A band of adventurers seeks vengeance by proxy on the unknown beast that
attacked them on B5F.  Reward: 500en

Comments:  The lady at the Pub tells you to find a monster where there would
normally be nothing. Return to the B5F and search for the FOEs in the Northern
parts of the map. Some will be Wolves, but one will be a Spider monster, like
the ones you fight on floors 6-8.

Fashionista I

Etria's most expressive designer, the lady Mrs. Meryl, must have butterfly eyes
for use in her new product.  Reward: Medica III

Comments:  The quest asks you to collect 5 Insect Eyes. Hopefully, you saved
these from killing Woodflies/Venomflies. If you didn't, go hunting.  Make sure
you kill the flies using magic to get the Eyes to drop.

Prayer to the stars

Believing in their power to draw her desired lover's eye, a girl will pay
handsomely for five star-shaped seeds.  Reward: Axcela II

Comments: You're asked to collect 5 Starseeds. The Chop points on level 6 have
these. The Maneaters on floors 7-8 can drop these.

Horticulture

A stipulation in a millionaire's will requests the cultivation of a flower he
could never get to bloom.  Reward: 500en

Comments: You are told to play a seed on the 6th floor. Take the door North
from the Geomagnetic Field and head East all the way to the wall. You will be
prompted to plant the seed here. Planting the seeds results in 4 waves of
enemies: 2 Waspiors, 2 Waspiors, 2 Waspiors 1 Sleepgel, 2 Waspiors 1 Sloth.
Then you are free to turn in the quest for the reward.

To meet a holy knight...

A terminally ill boy of Etria wishes to meet a holy protector before he
breathes his last.  Reward: The boy's treasure

Comments: Opens after "To meet a swordsman..." is completed. He wants to meet a
level 30 Protector now. The reward is a Bravant II.

A favor to Shilleka III

Shilleka's final request pertains to the materials necessary to craft a Bone
Flail.  Reward: Bone Flail

Comments: Shilleka asks you for 5 Tailbones and 1 Bird Talon. Tailbones drop
off of Firebirds and Bird Talons drop off of Glowbirds.

Fashionista II

The lady Mrs. Meryl has created another bold new product, this one requiring
the use of a toxic barb.  Reward: Medica IV

Comments: You will need to find a Toxic Barb. These are a rare drop off of
Assassin FOEs. It is also possible to find them from the "Take" Item Point in
the A4 area of B10F.

Explorers Guild trial

The Explorers Guild has assigned a harsh ordeal to its new recruits: spend five
days in B8F of the forest.  Reward: Hauberk

Comments: After you open the Spring on B8F, this quest is quite simple. You can
either use this opportunity to gain lots of experience, returning to the Spring
when you need to rest. Or, you can simply walk in the 3 squares in the room
with the Spring to pass the 5 days. Yes, 5 days = 120 hours = 3600 steps.
The Hauberk is a great piece of caster armor that won't be opened up for sale
until you've extensively explored B9F, so it's quite worth it. It gives +12
DEF and +4 AGI.

Identity unknown

A monster pursued by a band of adventurers vanished. They wish to learn the
nature of their prey.  Reward: 600en

Comments: Rest at the Inn and head to B6F. Make your way West to the D1 area.
At 10 AM, an FOE will appear. It is just a Petaloid monster. Kill it to
complete this quest.

The lucky coin

Adventurers dropped their precious coin while being chased by a monster, and
would dearly like it back.  Reward: 800en

Comments: You will be told that this monster can be found near the Wyvern's
nest. When you reach the exact square where you received an earlier warning
about the Wyvern, you instead receive a message saying that you hear a bird's
shriek to the East. Head East to fight a Fireeater and retrieve the coin.

Chef's odd request II

The latest recipe devised by Jackson Restaurant's chef involves the use of
Carminite, gleaned from Firebirds.  Reward: 500en

Comments: You must kill a Firebird using Fire magic. This can be annoying since
Firebirds have high resistance to Fire. If you have a Troubadour that can
lower the monster's resistance, that could help. Otherwise, just use weak
physical attacks to bring it down to low HP and finish it off with Fire. It's a
hassle, but you might want to get another Carminite to sell to Shilleka to
open up the Fire Ring.

To meet a blademaster...

A terminally ill boy of Etria wishes to see the skill of a foreign-trained
ronin before he expires.  Reward: The boy's treasure

Comments: Level a Ronin up to 20. The reward is an Ohdachi, a great ATK+90
katana for any budding Ronin.

The fossil charm

A beautiful Etrian woman longs to adorn her marble-white throat with a gorgeous
Old Choker.  Reward: Leaf Cape

Comments: You should be able to purchase an Old Choker by now. If you haven't,
the Mine Item Point in NE B6F can give fossils, while the points on B9F and
B10F give Fossils a lot. Pay 2000en for one at Shilleka's and head back to the
Pub.

Remembering the fallen

An adventurer needs the articles of his less fortunate comrades to hold a
proper burial ceremony.  Reward: 800 en

Comments: You are told that the articles are to be found on B11F. The Broken
Axe can be found in the C3 area, the Old Wand in the A6 area, and finally the
Rust Sword  can be found in the D1 area. Take these back to the Pub to turn
in the quest.

Feat of strength I

Though the recommended number for venturing forth is 5, the Guild will reward
a solo deafeat of B6F's monster. This quest leads to "Feat of strength II."

Comments: Take one party member to B6F and head straight North to find a
nearby Cutter.

Pest control

A fruit gatherer's livelihood is threatened by the vermin feeding on the fruit
in B10F of the forest.  Reward: Nectar II

Comments:  Make sure you have an Amber Lump in your inventory. Then, head to
the B10F stairs from B9F. Go North up to a door in the C1 area where you will
be asked if you want to use the Amber Lump to attract the pests. Say yes, and
you will fight 4 waves of Toxinflys. 2 in the first 2 waves and 3 in the 2nd
2 waves.

Scavenging for Ian I

The merchant Ian has requested samples of all the items that can be mined from
B10F of the forest.  Reward: Ice Mist

Comments: Fossil, Thin Shell, Scrap Iron

The bandit's treasure

I'm out to find the legendary bandit king Edue's treasure! More specifically,
I want you to find it.  Reward: 3000en

Comments: Please see White crystal section

past crystal door on B5F  nectar II bravant II amrita? warp
venomgels
fight Golem Kubuichi owns him, plus gets you statue arm

Love, cast in silver

An artisan of Etria needs one lump of Corundum ore to craft a ring worthy of
proposing to his love.  Reward: 900en

Comments: Mine on the B11F.

Official business I

To: All adventurers; from Radha Hall  Deal with the abnormal plants blocking
the corridors through B10F.  Reward: Bardiche

Comments: Valerie will tell you that the soldier on the 10th floor will be
able to give your better instructions. So head to B10F from B11F. The soldier
will greet you as soon as you step onto the floor and give you 10 x Odd Powder
to open the doors. Loop around from how you originally got to the Cernunos
area. Then, head for the 3 rooms. At the junction, 2 Assassin FOEs will start
chasing you. You can fight them, or just run past them to the NW door. There
is a special FOE monster inside, the Omnivore. Destroy it to complete the
quest. If you accidentally waste all of your Odd Powder opening unncessary
doors, you can simply drop the quest and reaccept it to try again.

Fond memories of you...

A lady knight wishes for someone to find the precious pearl she lost to a large
horned monster in the forest.  Reward: 2000en

Comments: You are asked to find a pearl from monster with large horns. This
can be rather deceiving since you're being asked to search on B11F. No horned
monsters in those parts really. Anyways, from the Geomagnetic Field, so take
the shortcut into the room with a pitfall. Head South to the door and you will
receive a message about a monster ahead. Go out the door to find a FOE. It's
just a warbull though, and you will receive a message saying to continue
searching. So, go back through the door and drop through the pit to find
another FOE. This time it's a Hellbull! It's not all that strong though, just
destroy it and then search the ground for the Pearl. Unfortunately, this Pearl
is bugged and stays in your inventory forever.

Orphans of the forest

Adventurers seek the cause behind the rising incidence of ferocious ant attacks
on B12F.  Reward: Flute

Comments: This quest is basically asking you to head to the area on B12F where
you got a warning about a nest. There was also a chest with an Amrita II in
that area. When you reach the area, you will find many respawning Guardant
FOEs. Destroying them only gets your ported back to the entrance of the
clearing. Random battles also do the same. I suggest buying a Ward Chime or
Gold Chime (unless you want to use Stalker) and then sneaking past the FOEs
to the door. You'll see an ant's egg and complete the quest.

Chef's request I

Jackson Restaurant desires to stun its patrons' palates with a new dish, made
from Moriyana nests.  Reward: Hamaoprime

Comments: You're asked to collect 3 Bug Nests. These are dropped by Moriyanas
on teh 13th and 14th floors or from Chop Points on the 13th and 14th floors.

Feat of strength II

To those seeking to prove themselves: Go ye alone into the Labyrinth and defeat
the monster on B13F and B14F.  Reward: 2500en

Comments: You're supposed to kill a Killclaw this time. I would suggest a
class that can use elemental attacks, since Killclaw is weak to Fire. I noticed
a bug while doing this quest. If you've observed where Killclaws can spawn,
try to get a random encounter on one of those squares, and the game will
consider that random encounter as defeating a Killclaw.

Scavenging for Ian II

The merchant Ian now requires a sample of each tree that can be chopped in B13F
of the forest.  Reward 1100en

Comments: The 3 items required are Sea Branch, Strawberry, and Bug Nest. The
Strawberry can be obtained on B14F Chop Points as well, but the Sea Branch
can only be obtained on B13F, so you'll have to make the trip around through
B14F.

The ivory charm

Bored of her mountains of jewels, Etria's most stunning woman desires a
necklace made from elephant tusks.  Reward: Sea Charm

Comments: You're asked to get a Tusk Charm. Buy one once it's opened and turn
it in.

The foreign seeker

A traveller from far-off lands has reached Etria in search of an elusive 100
Shell.  Reward: 2500en

Comments: You will be trying for Shelltor's rare drop. He is the FOE on B11F.

Love's uncertain promise

An adventurer's fiancee pleads for someone to find her love, who has
disappeared into the forest's depths. Reward 1500en

Comments: The missing Landsneckht was called the Rainbow Swordsman. On B16F,
from where Tlachtga gave you the Hex Bell, go North, West, then South to find
a Rainbow Bandanna on the ground.

Chef's request II

To appease jaded gourmands, Jackson Restaurant has devised a new dish,
requiring two Musks as ingredients.  Reward: 1200en

Comments: Musk drops from Goldeer on B16F/B17F.

Chef's demand

Jackson Restaurant needs ingredients to impress a finicky patron with an
unprecendented entree.  Reward: Tiger Boot

Comments: You are asked to collect one Fish Fin, one Dry Peach, and one Red
Beak. The Fish Fin drops from Sworders on B14F, the Dry Peach drops from
Sickwoods on B16F and B17F, and the Red Beak drops from Redbeaks on B19F.
Dry Peaches can also be found from "Chop" Item Points on B18F.

Under construction

The Carpenters Guild is lacking three Hard Shards and five Steel Chips in its
current project.  Reward: Steelsword

Comments: The "Mine" Item Point on B16F is easy to farm. You can also hit the
"Mine" points on B18F.

Work stoppage

A member of the Carpenters Guild has had his construction project on B17F
disrupted by three monsters.  Reward: Flame Boot

Comments: You are asked to defeat the 3 Sickwoods on B17F. They are located in
the B6, C2, and C4/D4 areas.

Apothecary's request I

A trainee at Ceft Apothecary needs human test subjects for her experimental
petrefaction cure.  Reward: Stonard II

Comments: You are asked to bring a petrified member to the Pub. Valerie
mentions that a monster on B18F can accomplish this. The Pixie is the monster
that can cast Petrify. You can find them on the Western part of B18F or B19F.
Don't forget to Revive or Refresh the character after you've turned the quest
in.

Versus the unknown

I need an able party to subjugate the monsters that appear at night and
vanishes with the morning sun.  Reward: 2300en

Comments: Nap at the Inn so that you wake up at night, then head straight
down to B18F. You will find 7 FOEs scattered across the map. These are a mix
of Nighttoads and Hextoads. The Nighttoads aren't a big deal, but the Hextoads
can curse the party and act before them as well, so be careful.

Apothecary's request II

A trainee at Ceft Apothecary needs the limb of a large bird in order to develop
a new medicine.  Reward: Soma

Comments: You are asked to collect a Bird Limb from a Moa. You can find these
on B6F or various other places.

his new medicine.  Reward: Somaprime

which she takes her sobriquet.  Reward: Circlet

good luck in the afterlife.  Reward: 3500en

*******************************************************************************

*****Skill Builds*****  [SB00]

*Landsknecht*  [SB01]

Generally, you will want to put 5 points each into Axes and Swords to gain
access to 2-Hit. This gives you a 30% chance of hitting twice with a normal
attack when you have 10 points in 2-Hit. Then, if you decide to go Axes, you'll
want to get up to at least 7 to have access to Silencer. Axes is stronger
against single targets, since you can stun or head bind. Swords gives you
access to abilities that hit multiple targets, making the Landsknecht better
against normal groups of monsters. Also, Swords gives you access to elemental
skills.

If you have problems with your Landsknecht dying, you could consider placing
some points into HP Up or DEF Up. Otherwise, don't worry about it.

You should consider getting War Cry or Hell Cry. A very good skill placement is
to hold off any points into War Cry and just put points into Hell Cry once
your ATK Up is at level 10.

*Survivalist*  [SB02]

The Survivalist only has a few damage skills. These all stem from the Bows
skill, so you'll want points in there. Multihit and Apollon are both very
powerful damage skill. You'll also want points in AGI Up to open up other
skills. Trickery and Quicken are both very powerful support skills for Bosses
and the more powerful FOEs.

The Survivalist also has access to powerful passive skills such as Amubhs and
Aware which allow the party to have more preemptive strikes, allowing you to
kill monsters using less TP, thus letting you explore for greater periods of
time.

*Protector*  [SB03]

The Protector has a slew of skills that can make sure your party stays alive.
If you've got 2 Protectors in the front row, a skill like F. Guard will be less
important; however, your casters in the back row will always love B. Guard.
These two moves are the most basic skills since they always go into effect at
the beginning of a turn and reduce the amount of damage the row takes. Also,
once you have 3 points into each of F. Guard and B. Guard, you will have access
to Defender, an invaluable skill against Bosses and FOEs.

You will want to level up both DEF Up and Shields to gain access to other
other skills. Remember that Shields only increases elemental defense when
assinging points. Provoke , Parry, and Fortify form a solid defense as well if
you can act before the monster. This is only effective against monster who
attack single targets though. Against monsters that attack the entire party,
you'll want a healthy dose of Defender with F. or B. Guard.

If you want your Protector to act as a backup healer, some points into HP Up to
gain access to the Cure spells. If you want extra defense against the elements,
put 3 points into TP Up in addition to 5 points in Shields to gain access
to Anti-element skills. Your Protector can actually gain a powerful physical
attack once you have 10 points in Shields and 5 points in Fortify: Smite.

Finally, the Protector has 2 excellent passive skills which you may wish to
invest in. Aegis gives the Protector a chance to survive blows that take his
HP below 0, while En Garde gives the Protector a chance to block any attacks.

*Dark Hunter*  [SB04]

Once again, you have the option of choosing between two weapon types. The Dark
Hunter has access to Swords and Whips. The Whip abilities specialize in
binding the head, arms, and/or legs, and then some powerful damage spells as
well. 10 points in Whips gives you access to Climax, which is one of the few
insta-kill skills in the game. Swords will give you access to skills that
cause adverse status effects to your enemies.

The Dark Hunter also has a pair of passive skills in Boost Up and Fury. These
are both not the most useful of skills. Boost Up simply increases the number
of Boost points earned when the Dark Hunter is damaged or deals damage. Fury
requires the Dark Hunter to be below 30% of his/her Max HP to gain the damage
bonus with 1 point. With 10 points in Fury, the Dark Hunter can gain a nice
damage bonus when he/she is under 50% Max HP.

*Medic*  [SB05]

The Medic is your standard healing class. You will want to put points in to
Healer immediately, and take at least a few points into Cure. Once you gain a
few more levels and skill points, you should level both Healer and Cure up to
3, so that you can learn Salve. This is an essential ability for healing
against enemy's that can deal damage to your entire party at once. You will
eventually want to put enough points into Cure II and Healer to learn Salve II.
You should avoid putting more than 3 points into Cure II, since a maxed Cure
III is a more efficient heal than a maxed Cure II.

The Medic also has the standard status healing skills. Unbind removes all head,
arm, and leg binds. Refresh can quickly heal the entire party of status
ailments; unfortunately, you must sink many points into the skill until you
are able to heal them all. Immunize is a very strong ability against bosses
with elemental damage; it's the equivalent of Defender for elemental damage.
Revive is a very useful skill to have if you don't feel like lugging a bunch
of Nectars around, and CPR gives your entire party an 80% chance to survive
mortal blows if you put 10 points into it.

The Medic has Patch Up, TP Regen, and Scavenge for passive skills. Patch Up can
be useful for grinding and exploring, but it is quite useless for solo fights.
TP Regen is quite the opposite, since the TP recovery doesn't being until the
2nd round of each fight. This skill can be very useful for FOEs and Bosses, but
not for most regular encounters. Scavenge simply increases your chances of
getting item drops, not an essential skill.

*Alchemist*  [SB06]

Choices, choices, choices! The alchemist has no less than 4 separate different
skill types to choose from. Fire, Ice, and Volt are all exactly the same.
There are 3 tiers of each spell. The 2nd tier seems to be the most efficient
for at least the midgame, so avoid putting more than 3 points into Fire, Ice,
or Volt. The 3rd tier is much stronger, but your Alchemist may not be able to
cast it many times in a FOE or Boss fight till much higher levels.

Poisons are the different skill. DO not put more points into Toxins than you
need for prereqs, since it doesn't increase poison damage. Putting 9-10 points
into Poison can be amazing for the first few floors, since you can deal up to
255 points of damage per turn quite early on. Note that this is the maximum
amount of damage for poison spells, so you'll definitely have to invest in
another tree at some point.

Alchemists have TP Regen and Scavenge for passive skills. Scavenge is only
useful for extra items, which isn't very important. TP Regen can be useful for
really long FOE or Boss fights; however, it's not very good for normal fights.

*Troubadour*  [SB07]

The Troubadour is the classic support class. You'll be putting points into
Songs to open up more skills. 1 point immediately opens up Bravery, Shleter,
and Mercury. You should put at least 1 point into each of these skills so that
they are available for whatever situation you encounter. Erasure is an
excellent skill against some of the later FOEs and Bosses, since you will be
able to remove their buffs. Recovery and Stamina are also excellent for long
fights.

The Troubadour also has the ability to give his/her party members elemental
damage, or increase the party's elemental defense/decrease the party's enemies'
elemental defense. All in all, a troubadour may feel slightly useless early on,
since it doesn't have enough TP to toss around every fight, but it is an
extremely powerful class against Bosses and FOEs.

Also, the Troubadour has a great passive skill in Divinity. This skill
increases the amount of experience points the party gains. 10% at level 1 and
30% at level 10.

*****Side Quests*****  [SQ00]

1st Stratum   [SQ01]

After completing the 1st Stratum, a new area opens up on B1f. If you remember
where the Holy Water is located, head there and go 3 squares North and check
the Eastern wall. Here, you will find a deadend to the East, so head North
instead. The first door contains a Ragelope FOE and a chest with 500en. The next
door contains another Ragelope and a chest witha Rapier inside. The final
room contains a Ragelope and a chest with a Medica II. This final room also
has a door to the North. Be careful in this area, as you will find
monsters from B6F inside. Go East and around to find a chest with a Plumed Hat.
Then go back to the door and go West, then North, West to the wall, and go
South along a long path. Around the middle of this path, on the bottom square
of B5, you will find a one-way exit on the Western wall.


*****Other Information*****  [OR00]

*Special Monster Drops*  [OR01]

This list is courtesy of CiprianoMcDohl. I have edited it slightly for purposes
of format and clarity; however, all of the information contained in this
section was written from information he posted on the messageboards.

This is a comprehensive list of ALL special monster drops. If an item or
monster is not included in this list, that means that the drop in question is
simply rare and does not require a special method of killing the monster. The
"special" drop is always the 3rd on the list in the Monster Codex, though
some monsters have a 3rd drop that is quite common.

When I use the term "Kill the monster using X," I mean the killing blow. Any
other attacks may be used throughout the fight. The same applies when I say,
"Kill the monster without using X." That also only applies to the killing blow.

*****Useful Links*****

Excellent website which contains maps of each floor. It's in Japanese, so
you'll have to figure out the symbols for yourself. They should be pretty
simple to figure out though.

Frequently Asked Questions

The soldier on the 1st floor won't accept my map!!! What do I do?

Make sure you aren't drawing walls surrounding each square. The Events you
place actually don't matter, just make sure the walls are correct.

I put points into Healer/Fire Up/Ice Up/Volt Up/Toxins etc., but I can't use
the skills? Is my game broken?

No, you have to put a point into the actual skill before you can use it.  For
example, 1 point in Healer opened up Cure. You must then put a point into Cure
in order to be able to use the skill. This applies to all skill.

What does retire/rest do?

This FOE on the 3rd floor keeps owning me, what do I do?

Checking skill prereqs in game: You don't have to get onto a computer, you can
just look in the skill chart (only for unlearned skills)
