INTRODUCTION
---------------------------

THE ANGELIQUE SERIES:

The "Angelique" series is an adorable series of games aimed at girls by Koei of
Japan. As of this date, there are 7 major games in the series:

Angelique (and Angelique Special, an upgraded version)
Fushigi no Kuni no Angelique (this game)
Angelique Special 2
Angelique Duet (*completely* revamped version of Special)
Angelique: Tenkuu no Requiem
Sweet Ange (a cute game boy color game)
and
Angelique Trois (a really nifty PS2 game)

You can find English information about this series of games at
http://marfisa.0catch.com.

FUsHIGI NO KUNI NO ANGELIQUE:

Now, Fushigi no Kuni no Angelique is an odd Alice in Wonderland themed spinoff
of the series, full of mini-games and fan-oriented oddness. ^^

Though the bulk of information was found in the "Fushigi no Angelique Advance
Guide" by Ruby Party (the division of Koei responsible for the Angelique
games), the information in this FAQ should apply to not just the GBA edition,
but all versions of the game unless otherwise stated.

It would be beneficial to you to turn your Japanese-encoding settings on, so
you can see the names of the items properly and such.

NOW, some game basics:

---------------------------

A. THE BOARD

Here is (roughly) the layout of the Sanctuary in Fushigi no Kuni no Angelique.
(numbering conventions are same as the Japanese official guide, since they work
very well)

__
__________ | |
| | |16|_
| 21 | /|__| \
|__________| (15) |\(**)
/ | / |
______ (00) (20) (14) |
| |/ | | |
| 28 | (24) _|__ (13) |
|______| / \ | | | (17)
| (25) (23)-| 19 |-(12) |
| / |____| | |
(27)-(26) | (11) ___ (18)
(22) \ | 9 | |
(10)-|___|/
(START) _______ |
\ (02) |04 | 05| (08)
(01)/ \ |___|___| (07)/
(03)/ \(06)/

for the most part, pink denotes a good space, blue denotes a bad space, and
anything else is special events/opportunities.

START - this is where you start the game. Not much to do here.

01 - you can randomly find items here

02 - you will find one or 2 silver pieces here

03 - go back a space

04 - your room (important events here)

05 - Rosalia's room... either agree or disagree with Rosalia's baaya-san on
Rosalia's qualities: this causes you to either keep going in the same direction
or to be turned around.

06 - you can randomly find items here

07 - the Priest offers you pictures of the Shugosei ^^ (these show up in omake
mode if you have the GBA version)

08 - Angelique starts randomly singing the school song. ^^; There are 3 verses.

09 - Fortune Teller: here, you must get through the quiz to move on. This quiz
is very hard, not only being in Japanese, but requiring previous knowledge of
the game/anime/CD-drama series. White Roses and Crystals can help you... if
you have the GBA version, and somewhat-easy cheat is to randomly guess than
keep resetting until that is enough to get yout through it (it can be done in
the Playstation version, but it is much more time consuming).

10 - Mori no O-sampo: A fun game hosted by Olivie. You can get a bunch of
silver pieces here. If the frog comes, you're out... but don't feel bad...
it's random ^^;

11 - Go back 2 spaces

12 - Telephone Box: If you want, you can use a silver piece to call one of the
Shugosei. I don't believe this actually affects the DP level at all... but
it's cute ^^;

13 - Silver Piece Slots: roll the dice; you get the amount you roll in silver
pieces

14 - Puddle: stuck here until you roll a 1. A very bad space to land on.

15 - you can randomly find items here

16 - Lake in the Woods: there are two Shugosei here, speak to the one on the
left to play Shugosei-same Crush (the Tetris-like game) or speak to the one on
the right to get a love event with that person (choosing the second option in
the dialogue that pops up... otherwise nothing happens).

17 - Dia: she will turn back the clock for you. Very helpful in getting to the
tea part on time. (4:00)

18 - Poison Mushroom: lose 1 or 2 silver pieces.

19 - Park (many special events here... including a sliding puzzle mini-game,
Mystery Museum)

20 - Mysterious Fog: can fly to any pink space on the board.

21 - The East of the Sacred Palace (the March Hare's tea party): there are
many special events here. There's nothing really important in the first room
(simply, the person in the middle can tell you where the shiner-person is at
that moment). However, in the next room, there are two people, a lady and a
gentleman. At the proper place in the game, talking to the lady will get you
to the Star-place, where you can convert your silver stars into golden star
pieces. Speaking to the gentleman will allow you to change the face of your
dice to your favorite Guardian ^^

22 - South of the Park: you meet the caterpillar here.

23 - you can randomly get 1 or 2 silver pieces here.

24 - roll the dice and lose that many silver pieces.

25 - Field of Mirrors: you can clone an item or get a doll of yourself from
your priest.

26 - fall down back to start

27 - either nothing happens, or you may find acquire one of the Guardian's lost
items.

28 - the Royal Research Institute: speak to Pastha here. After visiting the
first time, do not come back unless you desire to be warped back to start.

00 - a mysterious space... seems to have something to do with certain of the
"Date Endings"

** - get close to the mysterious merchant, and he may invite you to visit his
shop, located here.

C. DICE STUFF

Just quickly, to avoid ever being asked. Here are the different types of dice
rolls you can get and what they mean:

Four leaf clover: You meet with a random Guardian.
Gift box: You get one or two Silver Star Pieces.
Numbers (1-4): Ooh... so tricky. You move that number of spaces!

Talking to gentleman in the palace will allow you to change the default face of
the die to the Guardian you are closest to, as described in the section about
square #22.

---------------------------

III. ENDINGS

---------------------------

A. TEA PARTY

The path to the tea party:
(this is the best ending, and gets you all the omake in the GBA version.)

Basically, you will find that you need to get the Golden Star for Pastha in
order to get to the tea party. Here's how to do it:

Step 1- Go to your room(04) and acquire the golden key by searching the top of
your dresser.

Step 2- Talk to Sara at the fortune telling-place(09) and clear Sara's
super-tough quiz. (The Crystal and White Rose items can help you.)

Step 3- Go to the lake in the woods(16) and speak to the Guardian on the left.
Clear the mini-game and acquire the silver key.

Step 4- Go to the Royal Research Institute(28) and accept the mission of
finding the golden star for Pastha.

Step 5- Open the south gates of the park with your silver key. Go south and
speak to the caterpillar(square 22).

Step 6- Go to the base of the waterfall(15) and acquire the little bottle.

Step 7- Go back to your room(04) and go through the little door using the
silver key and the little bottle. You will now speak with the catepillar who
will tell you how to convert your silver stars into gold star pieces.

Step 8- Gather silver stars and convert them into gold star pieces.

GETTING THE GOLDEN STAR PIECES:
Go to the palace and choose not to speak with the people at the table. In the
next room, choose to speak to the lady. You will find out her name is Alice
(^^;)... this will lead you to the next room, where you can convert your silver
stars into... a black stone that looks like coal.

Do not worry, though. You can pay the villager who shows in the park and at
Sara's with a silver star piece to polish it up for you.

Step 9- When you gather all the golden star pieces and acquire the golden star,
go back to Pastha(28) with the golden star and win against Rosalia in her
minigame (so long as it is before 4:00, when the tea part starts...). ^_^
Hehe... good luck!

---------------------------

B. LOVE ENDINGS

The path to romance:
(Let the dream end with a confession of love.)

Of course, the best part of the Angelique is getting to end up with one of the
Guardians. Fortunately, while it is quite different from the other games in
the series, Fushigi no Kuni retains this important aspect. There are two main
types of love endings in Fushigi no Kuni no Angelique, the Date Ending and the
Lake Confession ending.

---------------------------

1. Lake Confession-

This one is very easy to get, and has some cute pictures... although the GBA
version of the game has the ending pictures for this ending removed. You just
need to meet your favorite Guardian at the Lake in the Woods three times (not
including times when they are just there to play Shugosei-sama Crush), choosing
the second option every time.

---------------------------

2. Date Ending-

In order to get this ending, you have to raise your favorite Guardian's DP
level (something like their affinity in this game) to above 50, and then go to
the tea party. After the tea party, your beloved should ask you to go
somewhere, and there you will get a cute little voice clip (in the GBA version)
and a picture. ^_^

A good strategy for getting DP up is to select the most compatible blood
types/signs for your targetted Guardian (it's the same as in all the Angelique
games), then get up the second level of the Lake Confession ending (that will
get you to about 24-25DP. After that, give them lots of silver stars(+5 each)
and return to each of them their special 'forgotten item'(+10). Of course, if
you have the GBA version, you can also use/give them the special items from the
omake mode. You also gain a point every time you meet them. Be aware, though,
that everytime Rosalia interferes, you lose a point of DP with that Guardian.

If you are going after a specific Guardian, here is a quick list of some
sign/blood type combinations that will get you the most starting DP(usually 9;
10 in the cases of Marcel and Zephel)

Julious- Aries, Leo, or Sagitarius, Blood Type A.
Clavis- Capricorn, Scorpio, or Cancer, Blood Type O.
Luva- Virgo, Cancer, or Pisces, Blood Type B.
Oscar- Aries, Leo, or Sagitarius, Blood Type B.
Lumiale- Taurus, Virgo, or Cancer, Blood Type O.
olivie- Gemini or Libra, Blood Type A.
Randy- Aries or Sagitarius, Blood Type A.
Zephel- Leo, Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius, Blood Type AB.
Marcel- Taurus, Pisces, Scorpio, or Cancer, Blood Type AB.

Have fun and Good Luck! ^_^
