CHARACTERS              [CHRC]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There are six characters in the game, five mandatory, and they get a bevy of
different skills. The default-controlled character is Cress, although by
going into the "Form" tab of the main menu and putting someone else in the
"1" slot, the player can control them. [Just be sure to set their skills in
the appropriate menu!]

CRESS ALBANE
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 A.I. --: At Once, Moderation, Counter, Do Not Use, Guard
 Default: Long Sword, Leather Armor

 Cress (or Cless in the SNES version) is one of the main characters of the
 game. He starts off as a fledgling swordsman but eventually gets the skill
 to combine his abilities, creating hard-hitting twofers. He is one of three
 allies who have missable (non-level-based) skills. Note that Cress' sword
 techniques main gain the element of his current weapon, so keep that in
 mind if he's healing the foe.

MINT ADENADE
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A.I. --: Heal, Support, Moderate, Guard, No Magic
Default: Rod, Cloak

Mint is the token healer of the game, encountered early on. Her skills run
the gamut from medicinal/curative to buffers and a few offensive. Since her
health is crucial to keeping everyone else alive as well, her AI should be
set on "Heal" or "Support," rather than attacking.

CHESTER BURKLIGHT
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A.I. --: At Once, Moderation, Counter, Do Not Use, Guard
Default: Short Bow, Leather Armor

Chester is a longbowman and a good one at that, despite having a bunch of
single-target skills. He can equip a few "heavy" items like gauntlets and
platemail but that's it. Since he's a physical fighter, his A.I. is exactly
the same as Cress' -- and, since his skills don't cost that much once he's
given a Fairy Ring, keeping him on "At Once" while disabling some of the
weaker skills is a good idea. Use-n'-abuse Sonic Bash, yo!

CLAUS F. LESTER
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A.I. --: Full Magic, Save Magic, Long Range, No Magic, Guard
Default: Necronomicon, Cloak

Claus is a Euclidian summoner and gets his abilities by finding special rings
and making pacts with spirits, often by defeating them in battle. For the
locations of his abilities, see the [SSKL] section. By the end of the game,
despite having heavy-hitting abilities, he can usually be replaced by someone
more physical-oriented (Chester) if needed; or, he can replace Arche as the
team's go-to magician. His A.I. should generally be set on Long Range, which
targets the enemies farthest away -- a good tactic for interrupting enemy
magicians who keep away if possible.

ARCHE KLEIN
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A.I. --: Full Magic, Save Magic, Long Range, No Magic, Guard
Default: Broom, Blue Ribbon, Cloak

Arche is the team's main wizard and gets a crapload of elemental spells. As
she gets great TP growth and floats in the air (which allows her to avoid
most lower physical skills), she should be a party mainstay. Like Claus, her
A.I. should be set at "Long Range" to interrupt far-off spellcasters. Also,
her accessory slots should always be Mystic Symbol + Fairy Ring, which allows
her to shoot magic from the hip at a halved MP cost (except where there's a
need to change the slots, such as at Tower of Flames). Some of Arche's
magic is missable so see the skill section for details. Asterisked items
denote spells that are found or bought.

SUZU FUJIBAYASHI
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A.I. --: At Once, Moderation, Counter, Do Not Use, Guard
Default: Botan, Kisaragi

The game's only "hidden" character, Suzu is a ninja who joins in the last
stretch of the game, and only after a multi-step sidequest. Although she'll
join weaker than the others, and doesn't get as many equipment options, she
makes up for it with some great skills (Hell Rush, Summon: Jiraiya). She's
also the only person who can steal items so if you're wondering how to flesh
that part of the Monster Book out, wonder no more. Since she's a physical
fighter like Cress/Chester, if you're going to use her A.I., stick to "At
Once" and disable some of the weaker skills.

Stats play a big part in the game and can be viewed in the 'Status' screen.
Note that Luck will randomize after a team sleeps at an inn or healing at a
similar area (such as Ninja Village's hot springs).

HP : Health Points - The character's health points
STR: Strength - As it grows, physical-type damage increases
SZE: Size - relates to defense (the higher, the better)
AGI: Agility - How fast the person is when moving around in-battle
LCK: Luck - Affects critical hits
SLA: Slash - [Cress Only] Relates to slash-type damage with weapons
THR: Thrust - [Cress Only] Relates to thrust-type damage with weapons
ATT: Attack - [Non-Cress characters] Relates to physical damage output
DEF: Defense - The higher it is, the less physical damage incurred
ACC: Accuracy - The higher it is, the more physical strikes will land
EVA: Evasion - The higher it is, the most often character evades phys damage

BATTLING/SKILLS         [BTTL]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
ToP's battle system is actually more akin to a fighting game than a normal
console RPG, so it may take some getting used to. Of course, practicing is
essential in the early going -- learning the ins and outs, and all that. But
it helps to know just how to get around.

First, A-button (in conjunction with d-pad) will do normal attacks. Using
Cress as an example, he will leap to hit higher enemies with an A + Up combo,
slash laterally using A + Left/Right, and fights while holding his ground with
A + Down. The battle action will change slightly depending on who the player
is controlling (Suzu, for instance, can get in 3 hits to Cress' two).

Using the B-button (in conjunction with d-pad) will execute set abilities (4
max). Unlike normal attacks, putting a skill at B + Up won't aim it upwards --
all TP-consuming techniques have a set course of action. Skills can be set
by using the "Skill" tab in the main menu.

As for skills, most are learned by leveling-up but others -- Cress, Arche,
and Suzu -- are obtained by purchasing skills or finding them in chests. [I
leave Claus out of this equation since none of his abilities are permanently
missable, unlike Cress/Arche.] Cress is also the only person who gets combos,
being two abilities combined into one. While he can learn these without any
trouble, he can't use them unless the two base skills are mastered. To see
if a skill is mastered (100% completion), go into the Skill menu and press
Start while selecting one -- if it says 'mastered,' then it's the best it
can be. If not, well, y'need to practice with it more to get those points
up.

For hard info on these abilities and where to find 'em, refer to the section
right above and the [SSKL] one.

TIPS N' TRICKS          [TPST]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Here's the tip emporium! If a reader has any good ones, send 'em my way and
they may just be put in here.

• TOSS A MAGIC LENS! These cheapo items reveal the stats and weaknesses of
  any monster, be it a lowly slug or powerful boss. These lenses also serve
  another purpose: when used, all information is transcribed into the Monster
  Book, the in-game bestiary. If you don't use a lens, only generic info will
  be displayed! Always carry a heavy supply of these and use them liberally,
  since some monsters/bosses are missable! We all know how annoying it is to
  strive for perfection and miss out on one measly baddie...

• DISABLER! What's worse than going to the dentist? Answer: having a mage
  cast a ridiculously stupid spell when s/he should be pulling out the big
  guns. Luckily, the creators had some foresight and allow the puny spells
  to be disabled, by going into the skill menu and tapping L-Button. This
  works for all AI-controlled allies, so if you want to control someone who
  isn't Cress, this can apply to him too.

• FATEFUL ENCOUNTER! As you'll soon find out while stumbling around dungeon
  after dungeon, the encounter rate for this game can be a little annoying.
  There are a couple ways to improve the situation: (1) Holy Bottles will
  temporarily halve the rate at which the team is attacked (2) giving someone
  a Magic Orb/Magic Mist will improve the escape speed by 50%.

• SMART SHOPPING: Some of the bigger cities boast an impressive array of
  equipment, items, food, etc. so it's only good business sense to make sure
  the items you're buying are improving the characters' stats. When in a shop
  menu and the cursor points at an item, press R-button to see how the target
  affects the allies: an up arrow is good, a down arrow is bad, and no arrow
  means so-and-so can't equip 'it'. Also, when the cursor has an item, press
  'start' to see the description and while that same box is up, hit select to
  see the hard stats for the thing (if applicable).

  NOTE: You can also save money by not buying weapons for Claus and Mint.
        If an enemy gets close enough, they can attack for interruption
        purposes; they'll never do damage comparable to Cress/Chester on
        that front. [They get free weapons every so often anyway.]

| • Apple Gel         • Apple        • Stuffed Cress  | There ain't any!    |
|_____________________________________________________|_____________________|

After some scenes with their respective families, Cress and Chester will be
on their way to go hunting. Talk to Ami in Chester's house to receive the
'Stuffed Cress' -- it's supposed to be a stuffed doll, but doesn't show up
in the inventory. Cress starts with 100G but that's not enough to purchase
anything useful. Before leaving, stop by the grocery and get a free [Apple]
for Chester's sister Ami. Delivering it to her gives Chester the 'Kind
Brother' title, and Cress should also get a [Stuffed Cress] item from here,
too. Note the title and item are missable, and that the item only appears in
the Collector's Book (obtained later), not the normal inventory.

When ready, head for the forest south of Toltus.

02) South Forest     [WK02]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items: Life Bottle
Enemy: Owl, Giant Bee, Bugbear

Just inside, the party will find a wild boar as their quarry. Time for the
chase! The forest theme is sort of like the Edvard Grieg's "Morning," no? To
start, it's a good idea to train for awhile here and return to Toltus if you
need to heal (sleep in Cress' bed). At LV 2, Cress learns 'Demon Fang' and at
LV3, Chester gets Hell Pyre. If you want to train a bit, remember you can
rest in the swordsmanship school's F2 room free of charge. It helps to get
the basics of battle down early...

This "dungeon" is fairly easy to navigate. Head south and take the first east
path to a [Life Bottle]. Backtrack south to the riverside and give chase east
when the boar flees that way. At the clearing, Chester splits up to find the
beast, and after a strange scene, it's boss time!

BOSS: Boar + Baby Boar x3
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 HP  : 175, 30
 Exp : 10
 Gald: 60

 The boars are weak against fire, so command Chester to use Hell Pyre which
 will do about 20+ damage per hit. In the meantime, have Cress use Demon Fang
 when the mother boar charges to stop it in its tracks, letting you get in a
 couple of hits. Simply bash it with your normal attack when it runs in the
 opposite direction and it'll be over soon. There's the added chance that the
 baby boars will escape, so there'll be less things to deal with. Make sure to
 use an Apple Gel if Cress' HP (or whoever's at the front) drops below 30!

Defeat the boar when the village's panic bell sounds. Rush back there, quick!
Return to Toltus and check out the front of the swordsman school. Maria will
want Cress to flee to his uncle's joint in Euclid, a town in the north. This
excursion, Chester will stay behind. If you want, you can pick up a [Knight's
Saber] in the school's second floor, but you'll soon lose it forever. Getting
it now will secure its place in the Collector's Book but since there's only
one in the game, you can pick it up later for permanent safe keeping. Up to
you!

Euclid is the next destination, in the north.

03) Mountain Passage     [WK03]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
ITEMS: Life Bottle, Orange Gel
ENEMY: Bugbear, Giant Bee, Owl

The first screen has a bifurcation, going west or north -- the latter is the
longer of the two, and has the only two items to find.

04) Euclid               [WK04]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Recipe: Cabbage Rolls

Cress remarks that his uncle's house is in the northwest part of town. Before
going there, stop by the grocery and find the chef who teaches the Cabbage
Rolls recipe. Since this recipe is the only way to cure poison at this time,
make sure to buy some of its simple components (Rice & Seaweed) for the road
ahead. If you have anything left over for Life Bottles, use it for that. Do
not buy any weapons here as they'll soon be confiscated. If you want to see
why, visit Uncle Olson's house in NE Euclid and stay the night there. Cress
will then be at...

Now imprisoned, Cress'll have to escape. Inspect the northern hole, then the
locked door, then the hole again for a scene. Agree to stick your hand in the
hole and obtain a rare item [Earring] -- which doesn't appear in the items --
which opens the way north to a [Long Sword]. Now that Cress can walk around,
get the NE [Cheese] and unlock Mint from her cell. She'll now join the party.
Inspect the SE sewer grate to get access to the aqueducts area.

Enemies in this area can inflict poison, so the long-distance hit-n'-retreat
works well for evading their poison projectiles (which are thrown in little
arcs). There's no poison antidote items available yet and Mint doesn't learn
her spell until Lv20, so if you can't make Rice Balls, this place can be a
lot more annoying than need be.

Luckily, this first dungeon is really just a baby step to acclimate players,
and provides little complexity. Items #3-6 are all along the natural flow of
the path, while items #7-9 are in a few dead-ends near the boss' location. As
this place is accessible only once, make sure to loot it for everything it's
worth. Approach the boss to start the knock-down, drag-out fight.

BOSS: Spined Devil + x2 Giant Slug
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 HP  : 220
 Exp : 41
 Gald: 566

 This battle can be rather annoying if y'come into it poisoned, but also
 because the boss can avoid low attacks if it takes flight. The slug cohorts
 are semi-quick and can also inflict poison, so for best effect, spamming
 Swallow Dance when all enemies are nearby can usually catch 1-3 in the fury.
 Mint should have her tactics set to 'Heal' and have enough TP to support
 that; otherwise, she ends up as deadweight. Make sure Mint's protected or
 the battle can go south very quickly. [Also, Spined Devil only appears this
 one time, so make sure to use a Magic Lens on it. The same goes for the
 Giant Leeches, which only appear in this dungeon.]

Afterwards, exit into the forest for a scene, which segues into...

06) Morrison's House     [WK06]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items : Monster List
Recipe: Quiche

The Quiche recipe is learned automatically here, and the [Monster List] is
obtained in the same method. Said list will store enemy information viewed
with a Magic Lens (buyable item), or generic information if you don't. If
you're playing on a New Game Plus, the Monster List will already be fattened
with the previous playthrough's finds.

Try to leave the mansion and Chester will rejoin the team! The next dungeon
will be the first "real" one, so bring plenty of Orange/Apple Gels for good
measure. If you plan on getting the best equipment for everyone at this point,
you'll probably end up around Lv 7-8 which is a good figure. [Free resting at
Morrison's house, of course.]

NOTE: If you left/forgot the [Knight's Saber] back in Euclid, it can be
      obtained without the fear of, uh, reappropriation. It'll also be good
      enough to OHKO most of the normal enemies up to this point.

| 09 | Cheese         |  Inside, Tristan teaches "Demonic Swallow Kick" to our
| 10 | Chain Mail     |  fave swordsman, which combines Demon Fang and Swallow
| 11 | Fresh Milk     |  Kick into its own combination. The caveat is both of
| 12 | Raise Ruby     |  the component skills must be 100% learned already. So
| 13 | Cheese         |  how does one know if they're mastered? Go into the
| 14 | Orange Gel     |  Skill screen and inspect each skill's percentage.
| 15 | Panacea Bottle |
| 16 | Reverse Doll   |  NOTE: Since there are pincer attacks in this dungeon,
| 17 | Rabbit's Foot  |  including a boss battle of this sort, placing Mint at
| 18 | Fresh Milk     |  the middle of the formation is very wise. This allows
| 19 | Lavender       |  both of the men to be the "meat shields" and protects
| 20 | Raise Ruby (2) |  her from (most) of the enemy's attacks. It's, like,
|____|________________|  chivalrous, dude.

Some enemies can poison the team, so make sure you can prepare a feast of
Rice Balls just in case (you did get the recipe in Euclid, right?). Anyway,
after getting Tristan's skill, head inside the catacombs proper. Items #2-6
are in separate rooms down the hall, obtained by opening a sarcophagus and
killing the Zombie inside. At the corridor's end, continue south a while 'til
the path splits south and east. Take the former for Items #8 & 9, then go the
remaining, to items #7 and #10. Make sure to equip the Chain Mail if you've
nothing better on. The south path near that area leads to a savepoint, Item
#11, and a boss (inspect behind it to initiate battle).

BOSS: Golem   HP: 400   EXP: 201  GAL:  410  DROP: Holy Bottle
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 Although it's technically a boss, it's not that hard to defeat, so long as
 y'remember one thing: interrupting its attacks! It's got a long reach and
 may stun Cress, so make sure the others' AI is set properly.

Afterwards, the Golem's carcass can be moved. Push it south and west to the
floor switch, opening a door to Item #12, the [Raise Ruby]. This item will be
used to unlock the door upstairs, in-between all the sarcophagi chambers. Get
Items #13-15 in the dead-end room nearby first, though, then backtrack to said
door, which leads to the "A" warp -- the lava room.

The second area of this dungeon is smaller, luckily. Moving platforms in the
lava will allow Cress to ride to Item #16 in the west, and use the northern
platform to move northwesterly. Hit the switch (marked on map as "+") there
to create a landing near the starting point, then get Items #17 and 18 on
the north-central lift. Return to the warp point and ride the lift east, at
which time Cress accidentally drops the Raise Ruby! Go south to find it on
a ledge...but it drops further below. To retrieve it, Cress must return to
the starting point and go downstairs (south) to the electrified grid -- which
damages all allies each time the screen flashes. Item #19 is down there too.
So what's the trick? Upstairs, by the eastern side, is a glyph that makes
Cress float. While under its effect, go downstairs to most of the extraneous
damage.

To proceed, return to the float glyph and go north; the Raise Ruby unlocks
the door. Save if needed and continue along, to a boss battle with two Golems
this time. It's the same as before, except there's a pincer attack on the
allies -- tag-team one before doing the other. If you haven't used a Magic
Lens on one, now's a good time, since these regular golems are in limited
supply.

Before heading to the final room, unequip Chester of any worthwhile valuables
as this is the cut-off point for Present treasures. (They become missable by
proceeding onward.) Mint and Cress will now be alone in the hinterlands, while
Chester is nowhere to be found...

08) Belladem Village     [WK10]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items : Orange Gel, Panacea Bottle, World Map
Recipe: Cheese Burger
Skill : Demonic Tiger Blade

Head north to hear some story scenes and sleep until morning, when Mint gets
the World Map from the head honcho. The chief's wife will give the Cheese
Burger recipe if Cress says he's hungry, so snap that up as well. Finally,
a Panacea Bottle and Orange Gel are around the tool shop's west side.

Cress can also learn another combo here, Demonic Tiger Blade. The technique
book is given by the weapon shop boy, if you go around the counter and talk
to him (via a secret passage in east wall). If you don't get this now, you
can later on in the game, so no worries.

NOTE: A little northeast of Belladem is a vacant ship dock. Make sure to
      stop by and get the items: Beef, Life Bottle, Mystic Symbol, Elixir,
      Magic Lens. The Mystic Symbol halves spellcasting speed and normally
      retails for 600,000G+, so you should pick up this freebee immediately.

09) Forest of Spirits  [OPTIONAL]   [WK11]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Enemy: Bugbear, Giant Bee, Falcon
Items: Apple Gel, Hourglass, Reverse Doll

This is the forest south of Belladem, a.k.a. South Forest of the present day.
There's nothing interesting here besides a few items, and you can come back
later, too.

10) Mountain Passage           [WK12]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Enemy: Bugbear, Boggle, Killer Wolf

Like before, the west path is the cut-across to Euclid and the north path is
the meandering one. This time, getting a pincer attack with a bunch of Killer
Wolves can be deadly, so there's reason to avoid the north path now, not to
mention there's no items on it -- d'oh.

11) Euclid Village             [WK13]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Recipe: Sandwich (grocery chef)
Title : Snob (Mint)
Quest : Elwin & Nancy [Part 1]
Items : Miracle Gel, Rune Bottle, Melange Gel, ? Rod, 2000 Gald, 1000 Gald,
        Collector's Bk, Charm Bottle

Euclid's grown...in a backward sense. There are a few treasure chests hidden
around town: a crappy "? Rod" in the west and three behind the inn, which can
only be gotten by going counterclockwise from the SE corner. The "? Rod" can
be identified with a Rune Bottle, but only changes into a dumb ol' normal Rod
so don't bother. There's a 2000 Gald chest in plain sight on top of the hill,
which always comes in handy, 'specially if y'haven't bought a new weapon for
Cress. A 1000 Gald chest is on the west side of the weapon shop, too.

############################################################################
There's also a little sidequest to do here...well, the first step anyway. To
start, talk to the lovesick girl by the lower entrance a few times until she
reveals she loves Elwin, at the weapon shop. Find the guy at the weapon shop
and he'll want to know his would-be lover's name -- get it from the girl,
Nancy, and return to see his reply. Finally, talk to Nancy again (d'aww) and
find the kid at the armory who says Erwin's left for Venezia. That's all one
can do at this point...
############################################################################

To continue, enter the town's NE building to meet Claus and he'll join the
party, if only to have everyone tag along to Lone Valley, which is across
the eastern bridge nearby. Milard will give a [Collector's Bk] for him, which
catalogues all (395!) items in the game. Speaking of items, the final chest
-- a Charm Bottle -- can be gotten by going counterclockwise around Claus'
house, leading onto the cliff.

PS: Don't bother paying the minstrels a dime.

12) Hamel                      [WK12]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Recipe: French Toast [missable]
Quest : Elwin & Nancy [Part 2]

Before going to Lone Valley, go north to the town of Hamel. A chef in the
middle of town will teach the French Toast recipe, and if you did the first
step of the lovebirds' sidequest in Euclid Village, Nancy will be at the inn.
Talking with her constitutes the "2nd step" of this miniquest. For mandatory
stuff, buy a Pickaxe & Rope for the upcoming dungeon. [It wouldn't hurt to
buy a Walloon Sword either.] NOW, hit up the valley...

ENEMIES: Harpy, Sylph, Sylph 2, Ghast, Hell Master

NOTE: Sylphs only appear at select points of this dungeon and are in finite
      supply. Use Magic Lenses on them while you have a chance!

NOTE: Harpies and Ghasts can inflict poison, so make sure to have components
      to make the Rice Ball recipe! [Harpies drop Panacea Bottles but that's
      a bit unreliable, so...]

NOTE: If you encounter a Hell Master, run away (as Claus advises)! They're

  START

Enter the nearby house to get the [Opal Pact Ring], in exchange for finding
Bart's lost daughter, Arche. There's also free healing in the bedroom so take
advantage of that. Around the house exterior is a [Thief's Cape], too, which
goes good with Klarth since he has no attacks whatsoever yet.

North up the mountain trail, there'll be a debris fall -- the only way to get
past is by using a Pickaxe bought in Hamel. North, there'll be a group of
sylphs blocking a path with a wind current. In order to get past, 'talk' to
the group out of the wind's path, then fight and defeat them to continue. The
tactic is used a lot but it often won't be as cut and dry as this example.
[The Sylph 2s can cast Cyclone, so make sure Cress is interrupting them!] Get
Item #3 before saving north of there.

More sylphs block paths here, plus a whirlwind can damage the party if they
come in contact, so ignore them and enter the mountain cave ("A"). A wind
gust should blow the team east near an abyss, but you can use your Rope on a
pointy rock there to lower oneself down ("C"). On this lowest level, there's
more pickaxe work to be done, plus Item #5 on the east side. This tiny area
leads upwards ("D") to the west side of the previous tier, where the team can
(mercy) kill the insane sylphs and stop their breeze. This allows everyone to
return outside via the "E" path to get items #6/7.

Back inside (via "E" again), go east a little and north up a stairway to find
the dreaded Daemonium miasma at work. Nearby will be a bubbling pit of goo,
the source of the foul air. Go east to a pickaxe wall and drag the boulder
behind it into the pit, which should stop the miasma from forming upstairs.
Since the party will be damaged every now and then, make sure to plug it up
quickly! After, go the east route to another rope-and-pit combo ("F"), which
leads down to Daemonium's portion.

This evil-tinged place has tWO pits to plug up, which shouldn't be hard in
and of itself -- it's that Hell Masters appear in this location (only) and're
the hardest ones fought so far. They're so powerful, in fact, that you should
immediately run when you see 'em (Magic Lens 'em first though as they're a
different kind than those that appear later). The nearest boulder seen goes
to the western pit while the eastern boulder goes to the northern pit -- not
too hard. Make sure to get Item #08, the [Emerald Ring], since it cuts SP
consumption by one-third (or by half if you use a Rune Bottle on it to make a
Fairy Ring, which you should do). Exit when the demons are gone.

With the miasma gone, all sylphs have returned to normal and quit guarding
their treasure chests -- get Items #9 & #10 at this time. The outdoor path,
going northeast from the cave entrances, leads to the rope bridge area where
Sylph will make a pact with Claus -- he's finally useful now! Additionally,
the key item [Elemental Orb] is obtained in order to talk to the Yggdrasil
tree in the Forest of Spirits, plus Claus gets the 'Tamer' title. Schwing!

That's all there is to do at the mountain. Return south to Belladem Village
and then to the forest south of there.

NOTE: A little northeast of Belladem is a vacant ship dock. Make sure to
      stop by and get the items: Beef, Life Bottle, Mystic Symbol, Elixir,
      Magic Lens. The Mystic Symbol halves spellcasting speed and normally
      retails for 600000G+, so you should pick up this freebie immediately,
      if you didn't already.

14) Forest of Spirits     [WK14]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items: Apple Gel, Hourglass, Reverse Doll

You may have already robbed the forest of its treasures earlier, but if not,
do that now. The Yggdrasil Tree is the one in the NE corner of the forest,
so it ain't hard to locate. After the scene, it'll be decided that it's time
to go to Venezia, which is north of Hamel's location. [The team will meet up
with NPC Rhea Scarlet en route through Hamel.]

15) Venezia               [WK15]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Skill : Lightning Tiger Thrust
Items : Protect Ring
Recipe: Sushi
Quest : Elwin & Nancy [Part 3]

Surprisingly, this seaside town doesn't have too much going on. Town can be
explored on foot, but some places require a ferryman's help (50g/per trip),
particularly to get to the armor & weapon shops. The [Protect Ring] is on a
2F balcony of the northwest publishing house, for reference. At the grocer,
a chef will teach the team the Sushi recipe, playing off the local cuisine.
It requires Rice and any kind of fish, meaning it's very easy to dish up. Get
the normal foodstuffs to make your recipes as well! The only other thing to
do is buy Cress' skill (3000g) at the armor shop. If you need extra cash, see
if you have any Fur items in the inventory -- they sell for 4000g+.

============================================================================
For the sidequest, talk with Nancy at the town inn (agree to help) and then
Elwin at the publishing house, to the north. Relay the message to Nancy that
her beloved will meet her at the town fountain. There, talk to Nancy again.
============================================================================

The boat that will take everyone to Demitel's Island is in the NE section of
the harbor, accessible by going east from where the ferryman normally sits.
However, he won't take anyone to the island if you haven't found out about it
first! The NPC that namedrops it is in the mayor's estate, the first enterable
building (to the east) from the town entrance. With that knowledge in hand,
pay the captain his fee (1600g) and go to the isolated western island...

As the captain says when everyone disembarks, free healing is belowdecks in
the sleeping quarters. That's the only such opportunity on the island, so be
sure to use it if needed. One of the dock treasure chests is a "? Book," and
turns into a Glossy Magazine if you use a Rune Bottle on it. A small quest
later on needs one of these, so don't throw it away or anything (although it
is possible to get more later). Go north to Demitel's Mansion and...

...it's empty and has no monster encounters. The main hall has some prisms
in it and west/east passages. The west route leads to Demitel's study, where
a [Savory] blocks a bookcase containing a door key. Using this, go the east
route to where Items #4-9 are stored, and use the new key to unlock the north
door in the garden. This is the only upstairs room where monsters are found,
so train here if needed. Inspect the tree blocking the window a few times to
start the boss fight.

 BOSS: Orcrot [2]  HP: 2050  EXP: 134  GAL: 1240  DROPS: Apple
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 If you're around Lv10 for this, it shouldn't be too hard. Orcrots lack any
 long-range abilities so it's easy to roll with the punches. Claus should be
 spamming Sylph while Mint stays back for healing. Cress will get interrupted
 a lot if he's not using airborne skills (such as Swallow Dance) to evade the
 subterranean root attacks.

Afterwards, the window behind the tree will have a beam of light shining into
the room. Return to the foyer and open the middle curtain to let the light
enter the room, striking the prism. The "puzzle" here is to rotate the prisms
so the light strikes only the pillars with the orbs on top. Doing this right
will open up a secret passage in the room's SW corner, leading down to the
basement. Enemies will appear here, now, but not so many that getting Items
#11-13 are hard (equip the Ranseur!). I recommend being Lv12 for the upcoming
boss, since the new skill Sword Rain will really play off the Ranseur's great
thrusting ATK power. [Give Claus the Mystic Symbol as well.]

 BOSS: Demitel  HP: 2700  EXP: 655  GAL: 6200  DROP: ? Book/Melange Gel/Holy B
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 The key to winning this battle is interrupting Demitel before he can summon
 his monster to do damage. Set Claus' strategy to Long Range, which will make
 him target the boss almost exclusively, while Mint focuses on healing and
 Cress deals with the annoying Golem and Lilite cohorts (take out the latter
 first as its Debris Fall skill will most likely kill anyone it hits). Once
 the minor foes have bitten the dust, chain-attack Demitel to interrupt his
 skills, such as with the great Sword Rain skill, which excels with spear-type
 weapons.

When Demitel's killed, everyone automatically returns to Lone Valley and the
missing daughter Arche joins the party, and the Aquamarine & Ruby Pact Rings
are obtained. [NOTE: You can return to Demitel's Island and get items 14-16,
which were left behind earlier. The Lavor Ionis is a good book for Claus.]

OPTIONAL: Arche's Spell Collecting
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Arche learns her abilities by finding books or buying spells, some of which
can should be done now 'fore y'leave the continent.

• STONE BLAST: Euclid Village (Claus' house)
• ICE TORNADO: Euclid Village (Claus' house)
• CYCLONE ---: Belladem Village (Lenios)

Lenios only gives the spellbook over if the team talked to Venezia's mayor,
his twin brother.

Title : Negotiator (Arche)
Spell : Debris Fall, Lightning
Recipe: Sushi
Quest : Elwin & Nancy [Part 4]

If you didn't get the Sushi recipe here, do it now. Arche can also learn two
new skills here, Lightning and Debris Fall (200g & 4000g, respectively), from
a half-elf who lives near the publishing company. Saving your cash to outfit
Arche in Alvanista is a good decision, although if you've given her the Fairy
Ring and Mystic Symbol, she'll have her accessory slots set for quite a long
time. The ship across the sea is in the larger part of the harbor, and when
speaking to the right captain, Arche will gain the "Negotiator" title and the
right to sail across the sea (800g).

18) Ship to Alvanista     [WK18]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Title: Delicate Flower (Arche)

After a scene, go belowdecks to have a feast. When everyone hits the hay, and
Cress is the only one able to walk around when disaster strikes, make sure to
talk with Arche to get her easily missable title "Delicate Flower". Topside,
there'll be a boss battle with Cress as the only star...

 BOSS: Meia  HP: 2400  EXP: 450  GAL: 4000  DROPS: Fame Face*
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 Meia is quick to interrupt slower techs, so stick with things like Swallow
 Dance to get the better of him. If you have any Flare Bottles, make sure to
 use one of them to increase damage output. Both fighters may be able to land
 a stunning blow, so keep HP at a decent level if y'want to get out alive.
 Speaking of which, losing doesn't give a game over -- that extra cash'll be
 good spending money, though. [Make sure to use a Magic Lens on this one-time
 opponent.]

Afterwards, everyone docks safely in Alvanista. Whew!

19) Alvanista & Region    [WK19]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items : Lavender, Gungnir, Serano Fragment, Garnet Pact Ring, Pass
Recipe: Spaghetti
Skill : Demonic Sword Rain, Phoenix Sword Rain
Quest : Elwin & Nancy [Part 5] / Mach Race 1
Spell : Tractor Beam, Thunder Blade
Title : Mach Lad (Cress), Ishitori Master (Cress)

Claus suggests meeting up at the inn to discuss future plans, so that's the
next main stop. The Lavender is at the harbor and pretty easy to find, but
that's it for easy-peasy chests. Cress can buy his skill at the adventurer's
guild (6000g), which is downstairs of the west side's Poison Lily item shop.
This place also has a password-offering piano player, which will be used for
the next dungeon (password: kikurin). The Spaghetti chef is at the town
grocery, which is slowly becoming the normal hangout for his guild.

#############################################################################
To continue the Elwin/Nancy sidequest, visit the eastern tool shop. Talk to
them and Elwin says not to tell his father. That's all for now!
#############################################################################

If y'want to explore the region a bit, you'll find the Alvanista continent has
a few mansions, the entrance to Ymir Forest, and a SW camp where two vagabonds
are staying. One of said bums will teach Cress the Phoenix Sword Rain skill
for free, so that'll be useful later on. Overall, getting a few levels before
the next storyline segment will help.

To start said segment, stay the night at Alvanista's inn and the team will
hatch a plan to infiltrate the castle. If put off, the option comes at the
next inn visit (lots of moonless nights, looks like). This segment can be
done at lower levels, but I like to be around Lv15 average, so Cress knows
Tiger Blade, a great comboing skill.

Anyway, once inside the castle, the objective is to sneak past the guards to
find the prince's room -- the easternmost room on the starting floor. There's
two guards to sneak past, so wait until they're far away and/or out of sight,
lest they force a redo. Once inside, there's a parroting scene, and then...

 BOSS: Jahmir  HP: 3400  EXP: 2400  GAL: 9528  DROPS: Black Onyx
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 Two Ares appear in front of Jahmir here, so let Cress deal with them while
 the offensive magic casters deal with the boss (set their strategies to Long
 Range). Mint should save her SP for healing, unless you need the extra help
 in subduing Jahmir -- which shouldn't be necessary. This strategy back-row
 bombardment strategy is so effective, Jahmir may die before the assistants!
 [Also, Jahmir absorbs darkness and is weak to light, but this matters not.
 Also received as battle spoils: Lavender, Verbena]

Afterwards, the king thanks the team by giving some presents: the Gungnir
lance for Cress, Serano Fragment weapon for Claus, and the Garnet Pact Ring
for later on. Additionally, after a day of rest at the inn, the Pass for
Morlia Mineshaft can be obtained.

Before going to the mineshaft however, one will have to enlist the aid of
some other summons, which explains why we can't go there yet. Talking with
everyone in the castle's magic research facility will give clues as to where
the other spirits rest: (1) Efreet in Freyland's Cave of Burning Sand (2)
Undine at the Limestone Cave (3) Gnome at the Cavern of Spirits. The guide'll
do this in order of least resistance, so Gnome > Efreet > Undine.

NOTE: Before leaving Alvanista, there are two things to do: (1) get Cress'
      Ishitori Master title by playing the castle's resident Ishitori master
      on the 2F -- see appropriate section for details (2) buy Arche the
      Tractor Beam & Thunder Blade spells, for 4000 and 12000G, respectively.

As stated in Alvanista Castle's lab, Gnome is found at the Cavern of Spirits
east of Belladem Village. To get there, take a boat from the harbor on a
one-way journey back to that area and proceed inside. There are no treasures
inside, so don't bother exploring -- use the ASCII maps above to help get
through. In the NE corner of the ground floor, a locked door asks for a
password: the answer's kikurin (revealed by the Adventurer's Guild's piano
player).

On B1, locate the lost li'l guy and agree to help him find his way back --
it's mandatory to proceed, of course. On B3, you'll find more of the li'l
guys, except these ones are bloodthirsty and ready to tear your hearts out!
They can be avoided by running past (they don't follow) but this is the only
time in the game to find them, so make sure to use a Magic Lens on some and
escape (they can be killed with Tractor Beam but offer no spoils worth
mentioning).

In the NW part of B2, the little guy will be reunited and the bridge to B3
will be cleared. Locate the savepoint and go east a bit, to where a switch
is. This sounds the alarm, drawing the northern clay idols from their posts,
so it's possible to slip into Gnome's room (middle).

 BOSS: Gnome  HP: 3400  EXP: 9200  GAL: 13003  DROPS: ? Book
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 This battle can be complicated by one annoying thing: at close-range, the
 boss will slit into pinballing particles that can't be damaged! Thus, one
 can only lash out when it's in its "whole" state. The trick is to stay at
 long-range and have the magic users rip it to shreds, while Cress unleashes
 Demon Fang, which is really his only long-range attack. The battle should be
 over before y'know it, with the wind-elemental spells leading the way.
 [The boss is a one-timer so use a Magic Lens!]

After, Claus can summon Gnome at his leisure -- his first screen-wide spell!
Arche can also find the Glaive spell in the dungeon's only treasure chest, so
pick that up as well.

The objective is now to reach Olive Village, the town nearest Efreet's place.
To get to Freyland, go north to Venezia, hop the pond to Alvanista, then go
SE from there to another port, which takes everyone to the desert continent.
Olive Village is right nearby.

NOTE: Along the way to Venezia, there should be a scene in Hamel where Arche
      gets the 'True Friend' title (mandatory).

NOTE: If you're doing the Elwin & Nancy sidequest, when y'get to Venezia,
      be sure to talk with Elwin's father and bely their whereabouts to him.

21) Olive Village & Vicinity     [WK21]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items : 2600 Gald, Melange Gel (in town)
      : Rune Bottle, Flare Cape (SE Oasis)
      : Syrup Bottle (E Oasis)
      : Life Bottle, Spirit Ring (NE Oasis)
Recipe: Tenderloin (in town), Fresh Juice (E Oasis)

There's not much to do in town, hidden by the NW building and down by the
pond. The Olive grocery also has the Tenderloin recipe to find, so make sure
to pocket that sucker for later. Most of the items in this section are found
at the Freyland Desert oases, which stretches all the way east and some ways
north, towards the Midgards region. Luckily, they're quite easy to spot and
are worth exploring. The Fresh Juice recipe is quite easy to make and heals
SP only, making it quite a good find for long dungeon trips. One thing to
beware of is the rare Basilisk monster, one of the few baddies capable of
petrifying the team. If y'see one, quickly use a Syrup Bottle and (1) defeat
it/interrupt it, so it can't kill everyone (2) run away. Basilisks can drop
the rare Basilisk Scale item or Stone Charms, which prevent petrification.
[The Spirit Ring at the NE oasis is in a blue chest hidden by trees.]

Said cave is located right near Olive Village's outskirts, a little ways east.
Inside, collect the first and second items before going to the SE corner of
the floor, where a stairway goes down. Items #3-5 can be gotten here, although
the way west is blocked by a one-way door. The Sorceror's Ring is an important
accessory -- and continues to be throughout the game -- that someone will have
to equip for the upcoming events. When on someone, press L-Button to fire a
stream of fire...pretty cool.

Upstairs again, go to the west side and find the locked door. By standing on
the floating pillar, use the Sorceror's Ring effect to shoot the wall button
and proceed onward. Items #6-8 are in this area, although unless y'know what
skills use what types of attacks (slash/thrust), you should avoid using the
Strike Axe. To the downstairs! Get Items #9-11 here and trek east, back to a
previous staircase. Now on the ground floor again, trigger the wall switch
by where Item #1, unlocking the east door.

If y'need to heal, do that in Olive; then, go north of the savepoint. Use the
Lava Key to unlock the door. Here, shoot the weird part of the pillars to
make them topple, creating a way to get to other pillars, and so on. This'll
eventually lead to the place's boss, so be prepared.

 BOSS: Efreet  HP: 5500  EXP: 1000  GAL: 8000  DROPS: Flare Cape
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 Efreet can be rather tough with his Eruption spell (screen: fire damage) so
 the key to winning is, like usual, comboing his face as to interrupt his
 casting. As long as Cress uses low-TP, quick skills, like Tiger Blade, this
 should be rather simple to do (especially since there's no cohorts to help).
 Being a fire monster, Efreet absorbs fire, is deathly weak to water, and can
 also absorb wind for some reason -- so disable fire/wind spells. [This is
 also the only chance to use a Magic Lens on the boss.]

Afterwards, Claus can summon Efreet -- the best summon yet -- and Arche can
claim the Eruption spell, which has already been on display by both the boss
and the Aza monsters around these parts.

Afterwards: Venezia
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items: Bridal Gloves
Title: Cupid (Mint)
Quest: Elwin & Nancy [Ending]

The Limestone Cave is accessible from Venezia, by taking the ship that ferried
everyone to Demitel's Island. However, it won't be accessible unless the team
has heard about the water spirit (Undine) and her whereabouts. Someone in the
Alvanista royal laboratory speaks of the location, for instance. Slug foes in
the cave can poison so make sure have recipe components on hand to cure it.

NOTE: If you've done all the steps to Elwin & Nancy's sidequest, and they've
      patched things up with dad, talk to Elwin at the publishing house and
      agree to attend the wedding. After, Mint gets the Bridal Gloves and a
      new title -- said gloves can only be equipped by her, too!

giant hole will now be in the northernmost room. At long last, return there
and flip the nearest switch (after healing up of course) which will summon
Undine from the watery depths of the dungeon...

 BOSS: Undine  HP: 6850  EXP: 2538  GAL: 8800  DROPS: ? Book
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 Undine is the hardest out of the normal spirits, having a huge amount of HP,
 one Squid cohort, and some great attacks up her sleeve. Naturally, water
 abilities heal her while she has a fire/lightning weakness -- right up
 Arche's alley (Thunder Blade is great for this fight so disable the chaff).
 Interrupting Undine is the key to winning so quickly get rid of the squid
 between everyone and combo the living crap out of her, while using Acid Rain
 to increase the damage output. If y'wanna know how hard Undine can be if one
 doesn't play strategically, just turn off everyone's spells and sit back for
 a bloodbath. [Use a Magic Lens; it's the only time she's fought.]

Undine will now be summonable by her pact with Claus, although there's no new
spell for Arche, unfortunately. Leave the same way y'came in, but reverse the
order of the room-flooding switches.

Didja get all four summons yet? Good. The next dungeon is where one separates
the men from the boys, and is a whopping 10 floors of pain and generally lame
progression. Naturally stock up on gel items and recipe food, 'cause this is
the long haul. As for level recommendations, everyone's probably around Lv20
by this time, although it wouldn't hurt to get around Lv25, just to be a have
a little convenience.

To reach the mineshaft, head SE of Alvanista to the docks, but instead of
entering, go north up the coast. The guard won't let anyone in unless they've
got a Pass from the kingdom's adventurer's guild, so make sure that's already
obtained!

NOTE: Black Bats are one of the rarest enemies in the game, and only appear
      around the middle floors of the dungeon (L4-B7ish). Try to Magic Lens
      one before leaving, since it's very easy to miss.

NOTE: You need a Pickaxe to get through L7 (or B6) so make sure y'have one.

|¯¯¯¯|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|  This section will be organized by strata/levels
|  * | Exit Switch      |  and are announced each time the team visits one.
|  ! | Savepoint        |
| 01 | Orange Gel       |  L1: The starting room with the guard. Item #1 is
| 02 | Lavender         |      in NW corner by a switch -- press it. Ignore
| 03 | Protect Ring     |      the nearby stairway ("A") which leads down to
| 04 | Beef             |      the currently inaccessible B4 area. Instead,
| 05 | 2000 Gald        |      go east to the "D" stairway.
| 06 | Rune Bottle      |
| 07 | Lemon Gel        |  L2: Stepping on the "!" buttons opens doors and
| 08 | Lemon Gel        |      such effects. Use this method to go north, pick
| 09 | Agalloch Incense |      up Item #2 behind a sign, and hit the western
| 10 | Mystic Broom     |      sector. Moving a statue onto a floor switch here
| 11 | Agalloch Incense |      allows one to get Items #3-5. Hit the wall lever
| 12 | Rune Bottle      |      to open the "E" stairway's access, all the way
| 13 | Apple Gel        |      in the east.
| 14 | Combo Counter    |
| 15 | Turquoise        |  L3: Go a little ways east and take the first north
| 16 | Rune Staff*      |      all the way to a levitation pad, where the team
| 17 | Rune Bottle      |      will temporarily float above all switches. Use
| 18 | 6000 Gald        |      this technique to go to the western door where
| 19 | Hourglass        |      switches keep the door closed if anyone steps
| 20 | Elixir           |      on 'em.
| 21 | Mythril Mesh*    |
| 22 | Mythril Mesh*    |      From there, use an "off pad" and open the next
| 23 | Verbena          |      door, going east. When encountering a statue,
| 24 | Black Onyx       |      push it OFF the button it rests on -- this will
| 25 | Broken Ring      |      unlock the exit when Cress heads south and SE
| 26 | Gungnir 2        |      to the stairway.
|____|__________________|

L4: This area is a dead end with a secret: inspecting the unlit torch a few
    times reveals that it's a switch, opening a wall section leading to two
    rooms. Go into the right-hand chamber and stand on a switch, waiting for
    the NPC adventurer to step on the other -- this will create a chest with
    Item #6 inside (clever!). After, go the left-hand route to find the "A"
    stairway from before and the way to L5, temporarily locked. Inspect the
    sign nearby for a clue: Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right. This exact
    pattern has to be done on the western switch configuration. A 'click'
    plays when a switch is stepped on, and a heavier 'click' plays when it's
    done right -- the southern stairway area is now open! Hit the switch to
    make the "ABC" staircase accessible for backtracking, then the floor
    switch to make the northern "H" stairway open (push statue onto switch).

L5: This floor's completely dark except for a small candlelight around Cress.
    The objective is to make it to the NE corner of the level to hit the exit
    switch (with Sorceror's Ring), then locate the "I" stairway, which is
    quite easy to miss since it looks like part of the wall. However, you've
    got a map at your disposal, so...

L6: I'd love to say "darkness, begone!" but vision returns to near darkness
    again once y'enter the adjacent room. The only difference is, this one
    has spikes that harm the entire party when walked on (how...Lufia-ish).
    Ignore the first room and go to the SE corner to find the adjacent area.
    Here, go north to find three statues, the rightmost blocking a switch.
    Hit it, go south to Item #7, place the statue on the floor button, then
    go back around and south to the exit. [That weird floor glyph by Item #7
    is a warp so don't touch it.]

L7: This room is a little weird but still pretty easy to go through. After
    coming down the "J" stairway, save if needed and use the Sorceror's Ring
    to light the flameless torch -- this creates a warp. Now, stepping on
    the warp leads Cress to a dark room with a treasure chest and an invisible
    wall that teleports him back to the starting room (on the L7 tier, natch).
    Cress will need to get each Items #8-10 when each appears, then hit the
    invisible wall. In doing so, the warp will teleport him to a different
    room to repeat the treasure-finding technique. The basic rule of thumb:
    take the long way around to the items. [If you can't take the treasure
    item, use up something in the inventory to get it.] After a few times,
    Cress gets on the "N" warp and is taken to a room with unlit candlesticks.
    Set 'em alight with the Sorceror's Ring to go north, through a blind maze,
    to the final room: break down the wall with a pickaxe, light the candles,
    go downstairs ("O").

L8: Finally, a well-lit room. The candle here is booby-trapped and Cress will
    be hit with arrows if he tries to light it; however, inspecting the thing
    reveals it's actually a door switch! Go north to a (ugh!) dark room and
    hit the switch, then return south to find the candle's changed into a
    levitation pad. Use this to get over the spiked floor and get Item #11,
    then find the "off pad" in the SE corner. The adjacent dark chamber has
    a room with Items #12 & 13, while the other leads to the 2nd half of the
    floor.

L9: Ignore everything around here and go the northern route, going through
    the first door. Go west to find the "RSTU" staircase, which can now be
    used as the shortcut to the first floor. Ignore this for now and go the
    NE route, leading to Item #14 and the exit switch. Backtrack at this
    point to the start of this "P" section and find that flames not impede
    the road. Run through to the exit stairway ("Q") to reach the bottom.

Finally at L10! Save, pick up Item #15, and hit both switches to make two
warps appear. Get on the right one and inspect the monolith to get Arche's
"True Scholar" title. Backtrack to the left warp to find the spot where Claus
must summon elemental spirits in order to open the door behind the monolith.

North: Efreet
West : Undine
South: Gnome
East : Sylph

That should suffice. If for some reason you don't have all four summons at
this time, the signs here will tell their locations. Oddly enough, these are
_not_ in primal elven lore... Anyway, save and return to the monolith for a
fight!

 BOSS: Maxwell  HP: 7500  EXP: 3000  GAL: 25005  DROPS: Gravity Stone
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  Maxwell is the hardest of all summons, since he floats and moves around a
  lot (in a protective bubble thing), so this fight will probably be drawn
  out a bit. Cress' job is to be the interruptor, stopping the summon from
  casting any spells while Arche and Claus do the heavy lifting, so to speak.
  [Use a Magic Lens as this is your only chance to do so! Oddly enough, the
  boss is stated as nullifying all elements and absorbing Darkness, but this
  doesn't prove to be truthful...]

Claus can now summon Maxwell, provided he picked up the Turquoise ring that
was sitting one room away, and gets the new title "Subduer" for a feat of
excellence. Additionally, the Gungnir weapon will gain some new power and
get a name change to "Gungnir 2." Go north to the treasure room to get the
key item [Broken Ring] automatically, although this only appears in the
Collector's Book. The rest of the treasury's items are decent, though, the
"? Armor" Mythril Mesh pieces in particular.

To leave, return up one floor to the shortcut, then back to the castle.

Alvanista & Finding Edward
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items: Lundgrom's Letter, Crest

Find Lundgrom at the castle's royal magic lab and he'll suggest seeking out
Edward, an expert on rings. In a southwesterly direction from Alvanista, find
Edward's manner and talk to his wife -- apparently he's off in Freyland. Drop
by Olive Village to learn Edward may have visited the SE oasis. An NPC says
he went to the N oasis; there, Edward visited the NE oasis; then, Edward's
returned back to Olive Village. Urgh!

Visit the inn to find out that Edward's been asking about Basilisk Scales,
a common drop from the Basilisk monsters out in the desert. If the team has
(at minimum) five, the innkeeper will arrange a meeting with Edward. With the
Gungnir 2 and magical fury available, there's really no difficulty in killing
the beasts now: use a Syrup Bottle on Cress and have him interrupt the foe,
while the others do a magical bombardment. Scales drop rather frequently from
the creatures, but finding a basilisk is rather uncommon, so have fun........

When enough have been collected, agree to stay the night in Olive and there
will be a meeting with Edward afterwards. The solution seems to be found in
Ymir Forest, so talk with Lundgrom again to learn it'll take a day or so to
prepare. Rest at an inn and talk with him again to get the [Crest], necessary
to get into the forest. Since half-elves aren't allowed inside, Arche waits
at the Alvanista Inn while the other three continue.

Speaking of which, Ymir Forest is in the southern region of the kingdom. Go
SE towards the Freyland docks, then veer west to the forest encircled by a
lake...

As Bramberd said: "perhaps the forest animals will lead us to Heimdall's
location". This is the key to getting through this mazelike copse! Those li'l
squirrel animals (bush babies) litter the understory path, and by following
them, one can eventually reach the tablet at the end. Of course, taking that
way ensures one misses a crapload of items. For reference, the bush babies'
path is (from southern savepoint): N, N, E, N, NE, E, S, S, SE, E. All of
the extraneous chests are in plain sight, except for a few hidden by the bend
of trees (like #7) or totally obscured (like #40). In the future, the team
will be able to go to Ninja Village by going to where Item #11 stood, but it
can't be done now.

When finally reaching the monolith at the "finish line," the broken rings'll
be repaired and become the Topaz and Moonstone pact rings. The elven guide
suggests going to the Tower of the Zodiac to find Luna, and it's somewhere
y'probably haven't been yet. Unfortunately, before that, the team has to
backtrack out of the forest on foot -- d'oh. Make sure to get Item #40 aft
of the monolith before going!

NOTE: You won't be able to go back through Treantwood in this era again, so
      get all the mundane items now if you want 'em that badly!

Elven Colony
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Quest: Chester's Bow [Part 1]

Upon reaching the village, there'll be some scenes and the team is expelled.
Before heading out of Ymir Forest, return to the colony to speak with Brambert
one more time, about fixing Chester's bow. Enter the bowyer's place and he'll
say that Arsia the Woodcarver -- who lives east of Ymir Forest, in a manor --
has a special method of recreating bows.

NOTE: If you don't start the bow sidequest now, you miss out on doing it for
      good! If you don't hear about Arsia's manor, you can't get in _ever_!

Arsia's Mansion / Chester's Bow Quest
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Quest: Chester's Bow [Part 2 & 3]

If the first step is done, approach the mansion for a scene. Try the door to
meet with Arsia, who says she'll fix the bow on two conditions: (1) Brambert
is brought to her (2) someone remains behind as a statue, for collateral. As
it would happen, Arche ends up having the right stuff and is frozen.

For Step #3, return to the Elf Colony and find Brambert near the entrance to
Treantwood. He agrees and tags along. Return to Arsia's place for some scenes
and Arche is revivified good as new. That's all that can be done for now.

28) Tower of the Zodiac                                                  [WK28]
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
ENEMIES: Corpse, Clay Golem, Dark Mage, Brigand

NOTE: If you try to go to Midgards' castle without first going to the tower,
      the Alvanistan Crest is stolen as a prank, forcing the team to go to
      said tower. Also noteworthy, y'can't rest at the town inn unless one
      does the castle events, so just ignore Midgards for now.

Tower of the Zodiac is on the Midgards continent, which means the team will
have to hop the strait to Freyland, traverse the desert in a northerly way,
and come to the great plains area. The tower is near the titular city, just
south of there.

  ____ ____| |¯    ____     As you may note, this dungeon's layout is rather
 |  * |  * | |¯¯¯¯|21  |    simple, and in fact, has a fun catch: one has to
 |    |    | |  * |  22|    use music in order to ascend the tower. A tablet
 |¯  ¯¯¯  ¯   ¯  ¯¯¯  ¯|    on each floor from F2 on tells which type of song
  ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯     is required -- the player just has to find the
right statue that changes the dungeon music, unlocking the stairway's door.
On the map, an asterisk (*) denotes a statue switch for changing music, and
to seeking particular ones makes this a pretty threadbare FAQ segment. :D

F2: Melancholy Song -> Easternmost switch
F3: Mirthful Song ---> Southeastern switch
F4: Serene Song -----> Westernmost switch
F5: Melancholy Song -> Southeastern switch (rightmost of the two)
F6: Gallant Song ----> Easternmost switch

That should cover the ascent. Note that Brigands are very annoying foes at
this time, and often appear with Dark Mages, who spam Tractor Beam. They (the
mages) drop Gravity Stones to make one immune to that spell, so if you're not
planning on fleeing, equip those on everyone for an easier time. Of course,
Brigands will jump over Cress at the start to attack the allies behind him,
so stiff-arm them with Sword Rain or Rising Phoenix for good measure.

On the way up to F7, Arche will get the Ray spell from Artemis, and on the
top floor, Claus gets the Luna summon without any hassle or fisticuffs.

29) Midgards     [WK29]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Skill: Lightning Swallow Kick

If you tried Midgards before, the Crest was stolen and there wasn't anywhere
to rest at, so it was kinda lame. The town is still kinda lame but now the
team can make some progress. To start, Cress can buy a skillbook from a shady
back-alley vendor in the northern section of the city (18000g). There's also
another vendor in that same area (east side) who trys to sell something for
80000g, but it can't be bought at any time. What is it? Kidneys? Crystal
meth? The world will never know.

Once in the castle, visit the throneroom and magitech lab. Try to exit back
into town for another scene where Arche wants to visit Lone Valley really
quick -- y'can go there instantly or hoof it. The funny thing about going
instantly is that ship fare isn't deducted from the total cash...which makes
sense if you're broke. After the scene, the team can return to Midgards in
the same fashion

NOTE: Refusing to go to Arche's house immediately (in above manner) prevents
      quick travel, forcing the player to walk all the way there and back,
      too.

NOTE: The team is thrown into the next event after visiting the castle, so
      if y'wanna make a duplicate save/level-up a bit, do that now. Having
      levels in the mid-twenties is a reasonable goal.

Approach the castle for a scene, which starts the Valhalla Plain campaign
preparations. It'll take five days for Midgards' forces to reach the NE
bridge to Dhaos' island, and also five days for Dhaos' baddies to reach the
same bridge. When the briefing's done, leave to rest at the town inn and
return the next day, where Claus rejoins everyone and the battles start...

Spell: Indignation
Skill: Lightning Tiger Spear
Enemy: Chimera, Ancient Oak, Agumi

NOTE: Being able to heal petrification is important, so have items on hand
      with recipes as backup (hopefully in that order).

_|START ___| |_____|   |_____|              Elven Boots and Mist Orb, respec-
_______|                                    -tfully, equip those on someone.

Additionally, the starting point has a savepoint, a medic, and free healing.
Healing in the tent takes eight hours though, so it's best to not bother with
leveling-up here (note the time, hour-wise, is not marked anywhere so pay
attention to the battle screens which give some hint).

Now, the fastest route to the boss is marked on the map, and is recommended
since there's no items to find. The 'x' on the map denotes where a swordsman
with skillbook is, but this is only AFTER the campaign is done. Since enemies
respawn in screens and killing the hordes does nothing for the end reward,
it's best to get through this nonsense as quickly as possible (17-18 screens).
Save before the boss, maybe in a separate save if y'got one.

 BOSS: Ishrantu  HP: 5000  EXP: 5400  GAL: 15402  DROPS: Poison Charm
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  The boss starts behind two Drake cohorts, so while Cress deals with them
  and works his way right, have Arche/Klarth's AI target long-range enemies
  primarily. Ishrantu will murder the party with Thunder Blade spells unless
  Cress gets to him fast for interruption purposes, so if needed, use Rising
  Phoenix to get over the Drakes (then have Arche target the Drakes before
  they annoy the other allies). [If you don't get a chance to Magic Lens the
  boss now, a chance comes up very soon.]

Immediately following, the team returns to South Midgards to regroup.

NOTE: You may want to have an updated save/healing items for the next part.

Visit the castle and collect the 10000g reward promised to the best fighter,
provided y'got to the end in a reasonable amount of days. Exit the castle for
a scene in which Pegasus is "borrowed" for the upcoming aerial blitzkreig.
Only Cress and Arche are available for the segment, naturally.

FIGHT 1: Werevulture x2
FIGHT 2: Charon x3
FIGHT 3: Charon x1, Clay Demon x1, Werevulture x1
FIGHT 4: Charon x1, Clay Demon x2

Cress' movements are restricted while on horseback so he can't do his normal
combos; he'll have to rely on Arche's power. Basically, run around and do
your best to interrupt enemies while letting Arche bombard with her best
spells (Ray) and healing when needed. In fact, try to come into the fourth
and final fight well-prepared.

 BOSS: Ishrantu  HP: 5000  EXP: 8515  GAL: 16400  DROPS: Poison Charm
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  This fight is basically a repeat of the previous one, except Cress can't
  use his great skills or half his friends, plus the boss has upgraded his
  cohorts. Again, Arche has the world on a string and does the lion's share
  of the damage (target back row w/ AI), so Cress' job is to take care of
  the Clay Demon and Charon, the former particularly since it will try to get
  to Arche and eviscerate her. With any luck, Arche will hit multiple foes
  each time and this won't take too long. Of course, if y'came in with bad
  health or someone dead, enjoy your funeral service...

That effectively ends the Valhalla Plains conflict once and for all. Pegasus
and the Gungnir 2 are now lost for good, so make sure to buy Cress a suitable
replacement (Mech Halberd) at the local distributor. Arche earns the awesome
spell "Indignation" at this point, too, which will turn her into a murdering
machine, especially if she has the Mystic Symbol/Fairy Ring combo going.

When ready to go to Dhaos's Castle, stock up on items and equipment, then
go back to Valhalla Plains. The exit near where Ishrantu was leads back to
the world map and to the castle, although make sure to buy Cress' spellbook
(50000g) that teaches Lightning Tiger Spear.

          START                 ¯

This is a rather long and arduous dungeon, so I'll split it into sections.
Protip: Dragoknights are very annoying since they rush at Cress at the
beginning and slide past him, getting to the mages beyond. To counter this
annoying trend, have a skill ready to interrupt them -- Demon Fang should be
fast enough, and really, Arche should murder them afterwards anyway.

FIRST FLOOR
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Once inside the castle, it's possible to get items #1, 2, and 9 on the west
side of the area (#9 is obtained by inspecting the gargoyle statue). This
should be the second Mystic Symbol obtained and Claus can probably use it
more than Mint, since he's rather slow to get his abilities off. Back in the
foyer, there's a northern route with Items #4-6 found in weapon racks -- if
y'didn't get a Mech Halberd before, here's one free.

On the east side of the foyer, get items #7 & 8 (inspect flowerpot) and go
north toward #3's room, stepping on a floor button in the meantime. Get the
Fire Storm spell and loot the racks (#10, #11) in the larger room w/ mirrors.
There NW side of said room has a locked door -- the only way to get through
to the stairway is to go south to the flowerpot room and backtrack around
again, which should deactivate the floor button.

SECOND FLOOR
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Up the stairs a ways, there's two rooms. Go into the rightmost and there's a
buttons and a plaque (Up, Down, Right, Left, Down, Up). Depress the buttons
in that order to open the leftmost room, which eventually leads to a corridor
with three mirrors and another stairway. Remember this spot; we'll be coming
back in a long while.

THIRD FLOOR
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
More mirrors and a stairway nearby. The other rooms around the base have
nothing important in 'em. Despite that, we'll be coming back here later...

FOURTH FLOOR
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Three rooms are nearby. Using the leftmost and rightmost, get items #12-16
without much fuss. The middle door leads to another bifurcation, with the
left route having items #17-19. The remaining door leads to a dining room
with four buttons inside. Read the northern plaque to learn that both pairs
of buttons have to be hit at the same time in order for the door to open.
There are two options: (1) do it with Arche correctly, despite the erratic
way of pressing them she has (2) fail ten times and Claus/Mint do it instead.
A little embarrassing but it's Arche's fault! Stairway's beyond.

FIFTH FLOOR
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The hallway goes by a few rooms, with Items #20-23 inside. North, there's a
door-opening button that doesn't have anything to keep it depressed. Go up
the side stair (technically to F6) and push the statue there into the abyss,
making it land right near the button -- situate it correctly and go north.
There's a similar situations here, and after trying the button & door, Cress
realizes someone will have to stay behind. Claus volunteers and he's actually
the best candidate at this time, so do so! [Use a Holy Bottle from now on if
you're not already.]

SIXTH & SEVENTH FLOORS
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Look at the ASCII maps above. Floor six is "B" on the smaller map, and the
destination is Item #24 on 7F, obtained by going almost due west and north
a little. Nothing else can be gotten now so ignore exploring tendencies and
to Item #24's room, after healing up first (and maybe saving in the room
one over to the east, if needed).

Approach the chest to fight a mini-boss of two Dragoknights and an Evil Lord.
The Evil Lord has 10000+ HP so it can be quite an annoyance, so make sure
Arche is constantly targeting it, hopefully getting some Dragoknights in the
meantime. Once the cohorts are gone, combo it into oblivion -- just don't let
it summon its demonic creature or things go south real fast-like. Afterwards,
pick up Item #24, the Mysterious Hand Mirror. This is the key to proceeding,
so we'll have to backtrack a bit, to floors #3 & 4. Pick up Claus on the way
back, naturally.

FOURTH FLOOR [REVISITED]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This is the second (encountered) floor with mirrors. Using the newly-found
mysterious mirror, inspect either of the mirrors in the main corridor to do
a repeat mini-boss battle with the Evil Lord and Dragoknights (heal up before
doing this, naturally). Once the monsters are killed, the mirrors act as a
teleportation device, allowing the team to get Items #30-35. If you haven't
gotten a Mist Orb (improves escape speed) before, use a Rune Bottle to turn
it into Magic Mist, which is great for the player-controlled character. Be
sure not to miss collecting Arche's Distortion spell either!

THIRD FLOOR [REVISITED]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Back down the stair, inspect the nearest mirror ("D") for a fourth mini-boss
battle. Through the looking glass (oh ho ho!) get items #25-28, with one of
the items obtained by pressing both hidden buttons in the gargoyle statues.
Down the hall, the final room has four buttons and a plaque saying "Reverse."
This means to reverse the order of doing a similar puzzle on 2F. Thus, the
order is: Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Up. Doing it right makes Item #29,
the Golden Key, spawn outside. Collect it and return to floor five

FIFTH FLOOR [REVISITED]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
When one has to leave a character on the door switch, choose Arche this time.

SIXTH & SEVENTH FLOORS [REVISITED]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
As soon as y'get to the 6F hallway, unlock the eastern door to Item #36. As
it would happen, the abyss is right above where Arche is, and she can fly
up to rejoin the party. Going westward, make sure to unlock the treasury with
items #37-40 inside, too.

On 7F, go east to the savepoint room and inspect the door, which requires four
allies to stand in the corners to unlock (a safeguard against leaving behind
any characters, I guess). Beyond is a 5th and final mini-boss battle which
should already be easily planned out (hint: Indignation the dragoknight by
the Evil Lord and the other will run right into target range). Heal up and
go north to the titular castle's boss!

 BOSS: Dhaos  HP: 30000  EXP: 6250  GAL: 25000  DROPS: Emerald Ring
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 If you're wondering why Indignation's a mandatory spell, here's the reason.
 Accompanied by two Evil Lords and having the most HP of anyone yet, this
 can certainly be a hard battle if y'don't plan ahead! First, make sure the
 mages are targeting the back row, which should target Dhaos and end up
 hitting most of the minions as well (have Cress pin them down with Sword
 Rain to help). Second, Mint has a reason to use her Dark Mist, Acid Rain,
 and Sharpness abilities -- having Nurse (learned at Lv26) on standby is wise
 as well. Arche should cast only Indignation, so disable the other spells and
 be sure to keep her SP in good health. Note that if Dhaos gets off any of
 his spells, it can be quite a bumpy road to victory, so keep everyone alive
 and in "interruption mode". Once Dhaos can be comboed at close-range, that
 pretty much seals it.

AFTERMATH
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Recipe: Sashimi (Lilith)

You win the game! ...just kidding. Everyone automatically returns to
Alvanista castle's magic lab, then Morrison's house. Everyone learns that
the ancient city of Thor, which may have time-travel abilities, sank to the
bottom of the ocean 100 kilometers from Venezia. Make sure to get the Sashimi
recipe from Morrison's wife here.

Rest in Alvanista's inn for a flashback to Mint's youth, learning that the
symbol of a healer is a unicorn. Instead of searching the world for tiny
scraps of info, you may've already heard someone in the town's Poison Lily
shop talk about where a unicorn can be found: NW of Valhalla Plain, in a
forest. [Even if y'think this hint is a little weak in the context of the
story, Mint will have a scene on the Freyland-bound ship confirming all her
intentions on this part.]

So...begin the longtastical journey back to Valhalla Plain, this time exiting
via the NW part of the map. This leads to...

_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Enemy: None
Title: Maiden (Mint)
Items: Unicorn Horn
                _____     There's really nothing special about this place as
 _____________ |_ ! _|    no monsters appear here. However, Oriental Herbs
 START   _   *|  | |      grow in this place and can be picked. They're meant
 ¯¯¯¯¯| |_| |¯   | |__    to be sold for a crapload of cash at some of the
      |  _   ¯¯¯¯    *|   more out-of-the-way towns, like the Elven Colony
      | |_| |¯¯¯¯| |¯¯    and Ninja Village (later on).
      |  _  |    |_|
    __| |_| |    /        Anyway, explore the forest at one's leisure and
   |*    _ *|  Arche       make it to the "!" on the map to find the unicorn.
    ¯¯| | | |             After a little dialogue, the POV switches to Cress'
      |*| |*|             team. Pick up Arche on the way to Mint and fend off
       ¯   ¯              three Evil Lords, obtaining a Unicorn Horn and a
new title in the meantime. Everyone automatically returns to the Forest of
Spirits, thankfully, for the reviving process.

As Claus suggests, the time in the Past era is coming to a close, so making
sure everything's in order is a good idea. This applies not to just having
items and equipment, but magic, skills, recipes, and monster book entries.
Although this doesn't apply to all specially-learned abilities, some ARE
missable. After the next dungeon, it's impossible to return to the past, so
make sure to get all of Cress and Arche's skills bought. If you've been
dutiful in Magic Lens-ing enemies, hopefully y'didn't miss any important
ones...

To reach Thor, go to Venezia, taking the boat that usually goes to Demitel's
Island/Limestone Cave. A third option is available, and after a bit of work,
the team will be at the bottom of the ocean thanks to Undine's help.

NOTE: Once you go to Thor, you cannot leave to the past world map again!

33) Thor     [WK33]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Enemy: 4400R, 3000R
Items: Card, Common Room Key, Diamond
Spell: Judgment

Check one of the NW building to find a sparkling countertop, which is really
a Card -- take it with when prompted. By the southern building with a memory
glyph at its base, inspect the door's reader and use the card to gain access.
Inside, there's a crappy maze with lots of Blue Ropers. Kill one and head
straight south to a row of treasure chests -- one contains the Common Room
Key. One of the northern doors contains the exit (back to city), a room with
Arche's Judgment spell inside, and the motherbrain's (boss) room. Note that
if y'get the Judgment spell, the rooms may change around and the key must be
reobtained for some reason...

 BOSS: 2SH [x2]  HP: 18600  EXP: 4000  GAL: ----  DROPS: ----
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  This battle isn't that hard, even with a few 4400R cohorts. Arche should
  be shooting from the hip with Indignation or Judgment, while the others
  do their best to get some attacks off. Since the bosses float at mid-level
  and fire quick missiles, they can often interrupt the slower people (the
  pincer attack doesn't help). Pick one off, then the other. [This is the
  only time to Magic Lens a 2SH so do it now.]

Afterwards, a rare Diamond pact ring is recovered from the robots' rubble.
North, find the sophisticated machine (Cust) which offers medical treatment
and a time-warp option. Pick the former then the latter, agreeing to restore
the city's functions (this makes it surface again, although y'can't go off
the island). Save before warping, because as soon as everyone gets back to
the present time...

 BOSS: Dhaos  HP: 65000  EXP: 6250  GAL: 25000  DROPS: ----
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  This battle is remarkably similar to the one in the past, although Dhaos
  is a lot more active, has more HP, and no cohorts. Arche should be in her
  Indignation/Judgment mode, Claus summoning his best (Maxwell/Luna), and
  Mint supporting with Acid Rain, Sharpness, and Nurse-ing when needed. Let
  Cress pin Dhaos in a corner with Sword Rain, being careful not to let him
  get to the weaker mages (which is possible by using Rising Phoenix or some
  other blunder). As long as the interruptions continue, the battle shouldn't
  go awry...just keep everyone's HP up to be sure (Dhaos may stun Cress with
  his punch combos so be ready to remedy it).

The short-lived excursion to the present now ends up being a long stay into
the future. This time, Chester will be along. Hi-ho Silver, away!

34) Town of Miguel
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items : Black Card
Recipe: Potato Stew (inn chef)
Skill : Phoenix Dance
Title : Hard Worker (Chester); Acting Master, Master of Secrets (Cress)
Quest : Playing Cards [Pt. 1]

The destination is Venezia, but at the moment, everyone's in Miguel, built on
Toltus' ruins. Sleep at the inn once to see Chester train, the game's way of
having him play catch-up with the high-level allies -- he also gets a new
title for his effort. Cress can get two titles here: (1) defeat all trainees
at the Albane Style school to be the Acting Master (2) sleep in the inn for
a memory jog, getting the Master of Secrets title.

NOTE: Buying a Sdin Grave poleaxe for the trainee-slaughtering part works
      well with Sword Rain. Using a Flare Bottle for the harder ones helps,
      too, since they have combos that can pretty much inflict instant death
      (or at least it seems to). Once Cress becomes the Acting Master, talk to
      the ex-master and say "no" to training with him; he then offers to sell
      a skillbook for 20,000G (Phoenix Dance).

NOTE: To get the Master of Secrets title, apparently y'must first get the
      Acting Master title.

Other than that, talk with the Robed Man in the southwest part of town to
hear about collectables (the Playing Cards sidequest) and earn a Black Card
for free. The inn chef has the Potato Stew recipe, too.

NOTE: From Miguel, go visit Future Morrison's house and find Curio, a painter
      without a muse. If y'have a Glossy Magazine, give it to him in exchange
      for Curio's Mirror. This "quest" seems to have a small window of chance
      to do it, so get it out of the way ASAP. The Pescatore (#15) recipe is
      also obtainable at that dwelling.

35) Mountain Passage     [WK35]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Enemy: Gnoll, Dragon Fly, Grey Ooze
Items: Reverse Doll
Title: Fervent Man (Chester)

Nothing much to do here. Take the northern route to get Chester a title, and
snag the Reverse Doll on the way out.

36) Euclid & Vicinity    [WK36]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items : 80000 Gald, Brown Card
Title : Happy Fellow (Claus); Stout of Heart (Suzu)
Recipe: Steak (Euclid), Gratin (Lone Valley)

Stay at the inn to get Claus' new title, first of all. The "Stout of Heart"
title is obtained by guiding the lost little girl (near inn) back to her mom
near the northern castle steps. However, if the final character hasn't been
recruited yet, she misses it permanently -- don't reunite the family yet!
[The reward the mother gives depends on how many times the team got too far
ahead of May. The rewards, from best to worst: Spirit Ring, Tea Cup, Elixir,
Tea Cup, Apple Gel.] Other than that, check out the shops if y'need supplies.

At the castle, talk with the king to get an 80000G donation. The castle's got
a few other things as well: (1) on 3F, a pigtailed girl will trade a Brown
Card for a Black Card (2) on 3F, a chef teaches the Steak recipe (3) on 1F,
the team can do the battle tournament. However, at this time, Cress will be
creamed in the tourney so don't even bother.

NOTE: Stop at Lone Valley and get the Gratin recipe from a chef there. No
      need to go up the mountain yet, though.

37) Venezia / Euclid     [WK37]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items: Sardonyx, Statue of Dreams
Title: Piano Teacher (Mint)
Quest: Mint's Piano Lessons [Full]

Mint has a sidequest here, fully doable even at this time. Go to the mayor's
house and see the daughter banging on those 88 keys like they're bongos -- a
horrible racket! Mint ends up having to teach her piano, slowly improving her
skills. Re-enter town and talk with her multiple times (about five), and she
will eventually put on a recital, giving Mint her title and the Statue of
Dreams collectible. Bingo bango, that's a quest in the bag.

Harrisson is waiting at the larger harbor, and gives grim tidings: no vessel
is going to sail to Alvanista anytime soon. Everyone then automatically
relocates to Euclid's hidden magitech lab, where the Sardonyx ring is found.
In order to power up the peculiar flying devices, the team needs more power,
power that only the spirit Volt can provide.

His cave is found right by Morrison's House (southern part of continent).

¯      START

A rather short mini-dungeon, although it can be confusing at times. Collect
Items #1-5, around the initial corridor and its west-bend rooms. The Shield
Ring is a "shield" item for everyone but Cress, so equip it pronto. The way
south to Item #7 is blocked by a one-way door, accessible only from the other
side -- oh well. In the first screen, go west to encounter a ninja girl
slaying her assailants. There's a 2nd scene with her in the cave north of
there, too. When she leaves, use the Sorceror's Ring on the lamp-like object
to power up the grid, temporarily opening the door. Snag Item #6 and go
downstairs.

Before going in the door nearby, go east through the wall to a secret switch,
which opens a door by the circuitboard one room over. Heal up before going to
the northern outdoors, as Cress will have to fight off off the ninja girl's
foes (x2 Ninja Lord) by himself. Their shurikens can poison our protagonist
but winning isn't mandatory...although they drop a decent chunk of EXP/GAL,
and maybe even Iron Claws... The girl (Suzu) flees afterwards. Ignore the
way she went unless y'want Item #7; be careful not to go north of there,
though, or you'll end up back where you came.

South of where the Suzu was, there's another circuitboard. A small southern
room should be open now -- if it's not, you need to hit the "secret switch"
marked on the map above. Said room contains a lever that powers up the grid
somewhat, so when the team shoots the Sorceror's Ring on the east-middle
prong, it powers up long enough to reach the "B" stairway, with Items #7 & 8
at the bottom.

The next room is a little trickier. There's a circuitboard nearby but all
the other doors are locked. It's possible to go through the eastern wall,
notice? Hit the circuitboard from as far away as possible and rush through
the eastern wall, then north while the door's still open. It's a bit hard to
do but with a little practice it can be done. The way west is blocked by an
invisible wall, so go north: hit a switch, pocket Item #9, go back south.
Return to the circuitboard room and go west, through a new section in the
wall...a 2nd circuitboard is here. Hit the switch behind it to give it a
little juice, then hit it with the Sorceror's Ring -- this opens the door the
last remaining unexplored door here, so make a mad U-shaped dash while it's
still open.

The penultimate room has three switchboards. In order to open the remaining
door, they must all be powered-up. To do so, position oneself between the
easternmost and middlemost. Hit the eastern with the Sorceror's Ring, then
the middle immediately after to keep the charge going; then, rush to the
leftmost and hit that too, opening the final door. On the cliffside, go a
little north to...

 BOSS: Volt  HP: 28000  EXP: 5500  GAL: 40000  DROPS: Emerald Ring
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  Not that hard of a battle, really, with rehashed tactics: spam Indignation
  or Judgment while Cress tries to interrupt the foes; Mint should heal or
  buff up Cress while Claus does whatever with Long Range AI. If you're using
  Chester, he'll end up helping out Cress. Volt will spam Thunder Blade if
  he gets the chance so make sure someone's constantly interrupting him for
  good measure. [Both the Volt and two Alraine cohorts are one-time fights,
  so Magic Lens 'em.]

Afterwards, Claus can summon Volt, and as the team tries to leave, Arche'll
snag a Star Cloak and extra Emerald Ring. Use a Rune Bottle on the newfound
rings so everyone has a Fairy Ring -- perfect! Now backtrack out using the
nearest emergency exit. Return to Euclid's lab and everyone will obtain the
techbirds (flying machines) as well as the Wing Pack to tote them around
with.

39) Alvanista    [WK39]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Title : Mach Man (Chester)
Recipe: Seafood Stew

The town recipe-giver is at the grocery, so pick that up first. Secondly, our
fervent pal Chester can get a new title here, by racing and defeating the
reigning racer in the eastern section. It's basically the same thing as when
Cress did it in the past, except the opponent gets a speed boost in the west
alley. [See sidequest section for won-item details.]

Approach the castle for some scenes, suggesting that a special sword be forged
to stop Dhaos from time-travelling out of sticky situations. Visit the magic
lab to hear some interesting tidbits, like how Fenrir's kingdom is around
Friezkiel and Odin's around Freyland. [Plus, a Diamond pact ring is necessary
for Origin to forge the items.]

Before doing the quest, there's a lot of miscellaneous stuff to do.

_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A.K.A. Backtrack City. Yes, revisiting a lot of those old places will prove
fruitful item-wise. Most of these are optional but I've marked the mandatory
ones as such. They'll be in the general order of exploration.

Forest of Spirits
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items: Apple Gel

Near the entrance there's an item. Nothing else to do here except visit the
Yggdrasil Tree for an odd scene.

Cavern of Spirits [Mandatory]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Enemy: Charona, Death Gaze, Stirge, Frogmoth, Fiend
Items: Emerald

At the bottom floor, in the room just left of where Gnome was fought in the
past, is a chest with an Emerald ring in it. This will be used for future
pacts. [Watch out for the powerful petrifying Death Gaze monster here.]

Morrison's House
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items : Curio's Mirror (?)
Recipe: Pescatore

The kitchen chef has the recipe here. [NOTE: I'm not sure about the window
of opportunity to get Curio's Mirror, so it may not be obtainable now. Worth
checking though.]

Lone Valley [Mandatory]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Enemy : Wight, Water Lily, Orcrot, Hill Giant, Basilisk, Werevulture
Items : Reverse Doll, Amethyst, Iron Boots, Mist Orb
Recipe: Gratin

If y'didn't get the Gratin recipe at Bart's old house, do so now. Remember
the part of the mountain cave that led to Daemonium (the last part with the
moving rocks)? Go there again to find some treasure chests laying around,
with the Amethyst pact ring being the main draw. This'll come into play at a
later date.

Demitel's Island
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Enemy: Specter, Phantasm, Fiend
Spell: Tempest

This island might be a little hard to find since it's actually not listed on
the map, a fact lost on the player back when boatrides were the rage. It's
northwest of Euclid, generally. Return to the basement and collect Arche's
Tempest spell. Additionally, if y'didn't get the items from the Past, then
they'll still be here as well.

Limestone Cave
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Enemy : Charona, Kraaken, Giant Squid
Items : Sapphire, Dash Ring
Spell : Maelstrom
Recipe: Meat Stew
Title : Terrible Cook (Arche), Perfect Lady (Mint)

This is north of Venezia, remember, by the strait. As soon as the team finds
the approach, there'll can be a picnic scene, and Arche gets the dishonorable
title "Terrible Cook." Before going into the actual dungeon portion, exit &
re-enter to see another picnic scene, where redemption is at hand -- Mint'll
get her title here, too. The Meat Stew recipe's learned here, too, by talking
to the chef (!?) standing at the dock. Inside the cave, travel to the deepest
room to find Arche's Maelstrom spell.

Alvanista & Region
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Skill: Demonic Sword Rain, Lightning Swallow Kick, Beast Swallow Kick

Didja miss this in the past? It can be obtained from a swordsman in the
Adventurer's Guild, just like back then. Same price, too (6000g). Similarly,
Lightning Swallow Kick can be bought for its original price (18000g) at the
local castle's 2F. Finally, the southeastern coastal campsite has a traveler
who sells the Beast Swallow Kick skill for 12000g, provided he's talked to
twice. This price is a 1000% increase from its original, but with cashflow
not much of a problem at this point, who cares?

Morrison's House
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items: Statue of Friendship

This is the mansion by Alvanista, not Miguel. Here, inspect the 2F bed to
find the rare collectible (the only one found by this method in the game!).

Arsia's Mansion
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items: Elven Bow
Quest: Chester's Bow [Part 4]

If the team did the first three steps to the quest in the past, visit the
bowyer's house again for some startling scenes. After, the Elven Bow's found.

Morlia Mineshaft (F1-B10)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items: Cresent Bow*

This is hidden behind Maxwell's tablet on the lowest floor...or rather, what
used to be the lowest explorable floor. In the future, there's an extra 11
subbasements to explore. This'll be covered later on in the guide, so hold
your horses...

Ymir, Forest of Mirror Water / Elf Colony
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Enemy : Mandrake, Savage Bug, Lizardman, Drake
Items : Star Broom, Mom's Gloves
Recipe: Fruit Sundae, Salad

Talk to the innkeeper to obtain the Star broom and Mom's Gloves for Arche.
The Fruit Sundae recipe is at the town grocery, and oddly enough, talking to
him again learns the Salad recipe (again, a lone exception to the one-per
rule). The Elf Colony is also the only place in the entire game one can buy
Melons at, so get at least one for an upcoming sidequest.

Treantwood / Ninja Village
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Enemy : Savage Bug, Branch, Shaft, Priest
Spell : Earthquake
Recipe: Miso Stew
Items : Muramasa, Ukiyoe, Doom Blade*, Copy Patch, Mask, Seven Suns*, Ebony
        Wood, Crystal Rod
Title : Bad Boy (Chester), Thin Girl (Arche), Glamour Queen (Mint), Samurai
        (Cress)

Before one can go to the Ninja Village, one must first have learned about its
existence from one of the world's NPCs. The most common NPC is in Alvanista's
eastern half, standing on a roof with a green-haired woman. [If you don't
do this step first, then when you do the next, nothing happens.]

Observe the map in section [WK27] and make way to the dead end marked as the
Ninja Village's entrance. If the team heard about the village, Suzu will be
there and whisk everyone (including Arche) away to said place. Immediately,
everyone meets the chief and has a dip in the hot springs, where some funny
titles are doled out. Afterward, the team learns about Suzu's parents'
whereabouts (Euclid) and Cless gets the Muramasa sword and Samurai title.

After the scenes, explore town at your leisure. The Treantwood borders the
place on all sides (south is exit) and houses hidden items, the best of which
are the Doom Blade for Cress (his penultimate weapon) and the Earthquake spell
for Arche. Earthquake is straight east, while the Doom Blade is in the NE part
of the forest (as a ? Sword). The other items aren't that good but the Mask
is for Suzu later on. Also, as you've noticed, enemies around Treantwood are
heavy with cash, often in the tens of thousands, so it's a good place to get
craploads of $$$.

Speaking of which, the Miso Stew recipe -- taught in the town's store's back
room -- requires Miso, which costs 80000g and the team can only carry one at
a time. This is the only place to get the item, but on the plus side, making
the stew once gives the person a five-star mastery of it.

Venezia
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items: Green Card

If you bought a Melon in the Elf Colony, and some Kelp locally, give it to
the dreadfully hungry guy in the grocery to obtain a Green Card. Now you
don't have to worry about getting into America! No, that's not it... [This
trade can be repeated indefinitely.]

Olive Village & Vicinity
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items : White Card (N Oasis)
Recipe: Curry
Skill : Phoenix Blade (SE Oasis)
Title : Sweet Tooth (Suzu)

The Curry chef is near the town grocery, and if for some reason Suzu is with
already (you did the Euclidian tournament, then got her at the Ninja Village)
she will get the Sweet Tooth title. But generally that comes later. Exploring
the oases again will find someone who'll teach the Phoenix Dance ability for
40000g, and someone who'll trade a White Card for a Brown Card. [This trade
can be done indefinitely.]

Thor
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Summon: Aska
Recipe: Fruit Cocktail
Enemy : 3SH, Kraaken, 4400R

Thor is northeast of Venezia, remember. Long ago, the skyscrapers were all
rusted shut but now some extra ones are open. In the southeast building, a
robot will teach the Fruit Cocktail recipe, which should be the final recipe
one needs to obtain.

Before it's possible to get the optional summon, one must first have learned
its whereabouts. The NPC is located, of all places, Alvanista! The girl by
the entrance dressed like Mrs. Claus (!?) talks about it without provocation,
and that's all that's needed. Return to Thor's time machine room and instruct
the computer to release Aska. The Topaz ring is needed for the pact, and will
have already been obtained mandatorily.

NOTE: This area also has some new enemies, and the 3SHs are of particular
      note. They may drop the super-pricey Laser Blade weapon for Cress: it
      sells for 100K/per. Considering how equipment costs an arm and a leg
      nowadays, getting a bunch of these for pricy stuff (like Suzu's skills)
      is a good idea.

Arlee, Town of Eternal Darkness / Cave of Darkness
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Skill : Phoenix Spear
Items : Yellow Card, Derris Emblem
Recipe: Hashed Beef

This place isn't hard to find, since it's (1) unexplored so far (2) shrouded
in darkness. It's in the northern reaches or thereabouts. At the restaurant,
find a soldier who'll give a free Derris Emblem, which is extremely important
for the last dungeon. In that same eatery, a swordswoman sells a skillbook at
a steep 50K price. The Hashed Beef recipe is also at that place... To get the
Yellow Card, go to the armory and answer the geezer's quiz: 2, 3, 4.

If Claus picked up the Amethyst Ring in Lone Valley's cave, he can make a
pact with the optional spirit Shadow, in the one-screen cavern southeast of
town. Shadow's pretty good and there's no fight required -- a nice twofer.

Friezkiel
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items : Blue Card
Recipe: Beef Stew
Skill : Beast Spear

Friezkiel is the other yet-unexplored place, a snowy island SE of Arlee's
location. In the weapon shop, a guy will sell Blue Cards for 50,000g/per (and
this too can be done indefinitely). The Beef Stew chef's on the item shop's
second floor, while an inn swordsman sells a skillbook for 33,000g. That's
all there is to do here, although there's a miniquest relating to a kid at
the inn who wants to see some collectibles -- this'll be done later.

Gheeth's Shop
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items: Statue of Love
Title: Combo Master (Cress)

Y'may have heard about Gheeth, a master craftsman who vanished. He's holed up
on an island south of the Freyland desert and has a peerless shop set up. The
equipment will generally be outclassed by free items later so don't feel like
y'have to buy it all now. Additionally, one guy wants some Ivory (dropped by
Bigfoots in Morlia Mineshaft's depths) and makes Magic Tablets from them. The
tablets are the only way to kill Land Urchin enemies so they do come in handy.

NOTE: Instead of paying 400K for the Combo Counter, use a Miracle Charm (by
      combining a Charm & Rune Bottle) to halve the price. It's a lot easier
      on the pocketbook. Buying the pricy item earns a new title for Cress
      and the rare collectible, Statue of Love. (However, further Counters
      can't be purchased after leaving the shop, so buy as many as need be
      on the first trip. Thanks to LancetJades for the tip.)

Euclid
¯¯¯¯¯¯
Title: Stout of Heart (Suzu)

If you've been doing the Suzu sidequest and learned about her parents in
Ninja Village events, go to Alvanista's arena and prepare to go through to
do the next step. It's best to give Cress a Fairy Ring, plus either a Stone
Charm (if you don't want to use a Syrup Bottle) or Stun Bracelet, which can
be another annoyance. Of course, you'll want the Doom Blade from Ninja Village
as well, since it's Cress' second-best weapon. Most monsters are easy, but
the Steel Golem (#7) can stun and the Gazer King (#8) can petrify, so that's
why the prepping was needed. After making past the first eight, usually the
ninth monster is optional --

 BOSS: Dozo   HP: 28500
 BOSS: Okiyo  HP: 15500
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  It really doesn't matter if y'win or not. Just try to get through if at
  all possible, although generally they'll just cream Cress with a pincer
  attack. If y'wanna try to make a standoff, even with the lack of awesome
  inventory items, Rising Phoenix over one of 'em and try to pin them in a
  corner.

Afterwards, Suzu invites everyone to come back to her village later. Sadly,
the results of the current contest are nullified, so if Cress wants to get
his Champion/Beast Blade prizes, he'll have to go through again, but fight a
rather difficult Wyvern boss in the ninjas' place. He'll probably beat the
crap out of Cress too, so this can be put off for later on.

For the "Stout of Heart" title, once Suzu is obtained in Ninja Village, come
back and reunite the little girl, lost by the inn, with her mom, near the
castle stairway.

Ninja Village
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Skill: Beast Sword Rain
Title: Muscle Man (Chester), Future Chief (Suzu)

After Euclid arena events, go to the Ninja Village's chief's house and Suzu
will join the party, and Cress gets a free skillbook. In the 2nd and final
hot spring scene, Chester gets a new title. To get "Future Chief" for Suzu,
talk to the girl near the town's savepoint. Finally, our newest member can
only equip certain ninja items, so shop at the town for a few upgrades.

NOTE: With Suzu in the party, certain ninja-in-training have appeared around
      the world and can sell skill scrolls to her. Some scrolls can appear
      for free as well. However, buying the scrolls for exorbitant prices
      turns the free chests into other items, which helps flesh out the
      Collector's Book. (For example, players can buy Merciless Thunder from
      the ninja in Volt's Cave for 530,000. Doing that makes the skill chest
      in Tower of the Zodiac give a Blessed Blade instead.)

Another perk of getting Suzu is that the team can automatically warp to Ninja
Village, and by that method, also get to the Elf Colony faster as well.

Olive Village
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Title: Sweet Tooth (Suzu)

Talk with the outdoor chef to get Suzu's title.

Lone Valley
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Skill: Omega Storm (Suzu)

If you're not broke buying Suzu a bunch of stuff, go to the cliff where Sylph
was obtained in the past -- a ninja-in-training is here. She'll teach Suzu
the Omega Storm skill for an odd sum of 53,000g.

NOTE: Geraldins are some of the most annoying normal enemies in the game, as
      they frequently jump around and over Cress and quickly interrupt many
      attacks (not to mention they often come in pairs). Pinning them down
      is the best way to proceed, so spam Sword Rain like no tomorrow.

Located in the heart of what used to be Odin country, the Tower of Flames is
near the Freyland desert, encircled by mountains range. Items #1-4 are spread
around the ground floor, at two opposite rooms -- be sure to use a Rune Bottle
to get the Reflect armor into its normal state. The two ground-floor switches
will unlock the central door to the "B" stairway which, while it doesn't lead
to the top, it does contain a crapload of items to get.

Up on 2F, take the western area to get Items #7-9, with an awesome Omega
Shield. All items are in lava rooms, so make sure at least the main four
fighters have Ice Charms. A stairway there ("D") leads up to 3F which holds
Items #10-15 in two seperate rooms, plus Item #23, the Explode spellbook for
Arche. Although it's not portrayed correctly on the ASCII map above, to get
the spellbook, keep going upstairs in the NW section (x3) until the treasure
is found. It seems like the room is repeating but that's not the case; I know
I've missed the spell in the past because of that.

Backtrack down to 1F again and go up the "C" stairway, in the northeast. From
here on, the levels will almost be entirely subject to the intense heat, so
be prepared! Collect Item #16 en route to the floor above, which requires the
team to flip two switches (again, situated opposite each other) in order to
open the stairway ("F") to the next level. Items #17 & 18 are around here,
too.

On the penultimate floor, read the sign that talks about sentry statues. As
long as they're in sight of the doors they're by, the doors remain locked...
so relocate them south of there (etc.) in order to get around. This allows
one to claim Items #19-21.

In #19's room is a ninja-in-training (if you got Suzu, that is) who teaches
her Flare Blitz for 510,000g. Is that sum very ridiculous? Definitely! The
spell can actually be learned for free if one backtracks to Efreet's chamber
in the Cave of Burning Sand, however. (Purchasing the skill here turns that
freebie chest into a Flame Baselard item, useful for filling the Collector's
Book.) Take the "G" stairway up by moving statues onto the lower switches.

On this final floor, there are four guardians to fight in four different
rooms -- not special minibosses but lame Geraldin/Djinn fights. You've fought
a million on the way up so the creators decided to pack in some more pain.
When all four are defeated, a secret staircase is revealed in the west, which
leads up to the tower's boss.

 BOSS: Flamberge  HP: 45700  EXP: 7500  GAL: 19800  DROPS: ----
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  Flamberge absorbs Fire and is good versus light-elemental attacks, so avoid
  those like poison ivy. Besides that, the battle takes a rather generic turn,
  with Cress pinning the boss (Sword Rain, as per usual) and the others just
  tossing magic bombs (Indignation, Judgment, Volt, etc.) when they get the
  chance. The boss is surprisingly quick and has a piercing sword stroke that
  can cut through the ranks, so try to keep Cress out in front as he can take
  a few punches without topplin' over. Use Mint to buff, although it may not
  be necessary. [This is the only chance to Magic Lens this boss.]

The team obtains the fiery sword Flamberge afterwards, bringing them one step
closer to the upcoming forging process. Cress also learns the Chaos Blade
skill automatically, which is a plus. Next up is the elemental opposite, in
the frozen town of Friezkiel (which should already have been visited above).

In case y'didn't visit Friezkiel, it's on an icy, isolated island northwest
of where Midgards used to be. This dungeon is actually found intown, so get
to the Temple of Fenrir in the northern section and inspect the door...only
to have it crumble. Creepy! Inside the cathedral, approach the altar to find
a hidden passage to the Cave of Ice. [NOTE: If for some reason you can't get
inside the cathedral, you may need to talk to the researchers in Alvanista's
lab to learn about the location.]

As y'can see from the map, Items #1 & 2 are in a rather twisty passage en
route to the "A" stairway. The switch by #1 is frozen, so hit it with the
Sorceror's Ring to thaw it out. The old ring will get some use again a little
ways down the path, when it's required to light a bunch of candlesticks. Get
Item #2 on the way downstairs, where one final candlestick is -- move the
pushable statue in front of the NW vent to ensure it's not snuffed out, then
head further in.

This maze of...uh, mazelike proportions is pretty easy to navigate once y'got
a map for hand-holding purposes, so collect Items #3-11 before bolting for
the "B" stairway. This one's a little more straightforward -- get Items #12/13
before moving toward the "D" stairway (ignore "C" for now since it leads no-
-where in particular). There's a switch in-between that drains water to reach
said staircase, so don't miss it.

Once "D" is taken, the party will be on the lowest tier of the cave. Upon
reaching a wall switch, press it -- this opens a door near the western area.
Get items #14 & 15 in their own little room and hit up the west pond-side
cave, for a magic switch that freezes all water in the dungeon (and allows
one to use the "C" stairway to get upwards).

After taking the "C" stairway, start heading for the "D" stairway like just
a while back. Remember the water-draining switch en route? Hit that so the
water refloods and flash-freezes, allowing one to reach a new area in the NE.
Save/heal if needed and go north to the dungeon boss.

 BOSS: Fen Beast  HP: 30000  EXP: 3000  GAL: 9000  DROPS: ----
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  This wolfdog is weak to fire and light, strong against dark and earth,
  and is healed by water -- disable/enable magic skills accordingly. While
  the boss has rather crappy health, he hits surprisingly hard, capable of
  doing 700+ with hits hits. Should Cress fall and Fen gets his teeth into
  the weaker mages (which is easily possible since he's tall and can bat
  Arche around like a frisbee), things can take a turn for the worst. Keep
  Cress in good condition and use Mint to debuff the boss. One of Fen's
  cool attacks is a snow flurry, where each snowflake damages/interrupts the
  people it hits...try not to see it too often. [This is the only chance to
  Magic Lens the boss.]

Following, the Vorpal Sword is received and Cress learns Distortion Blade,
which, frankly, is way better than Chaos Blade. D-Blade is also pretty good
for rocking casbahs in Euclid's arena, and my personal choice for walloping
Wyvern (although there are "infinite combos" one can do besides...oh well).

43) Treantwood     [WK43]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items: Eternal Sword
Skill: Lunge, Chaos Distortion Blade, Chaos Lunge
Title: Eternal Swordsman (Cress); Dominator, Warlock (Claus)

Okay, so both swords are obtained. Now it's time to forge the Eternal Sword!
Return to Treantwood by way of the Elf Colony and return to Heimdal's stone
marker, deep in the forest. Don't remember where it is? Look at the map in
section [WK27]. A boss fight will play out here.

 BOSS: Origin  HP: 45000  EXP: 12450  GAL: 13280  DROPS: Merciless Bow*
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  Origin comes with a Seraph cohort, but that shouldn't be much to overcome.
  The boss has no weakpoints; in fact, she nulls all elements except earth
  and light, which are absorbed. Origin knows the Indignation spell, so it's
  good to have someone start interrupting as soon as possible (which is a
  bit harder since Arche can't participate in this fight, due to arriving
  late). Once Cress can start comboing the boss, though, spells should be a
  worry of the past...although watch out for the short-range zapper attack,
  which can do 2000+ damage and send everyone airborne! [This is the only
  time to Magic Lens Origin.]

Claus will get his final mandatory summon after the fight, and the Eternal
Sword is obtained. Additionally, Cress learns a bunch of new abilities from
the weapon: Lunge, Chaos Distortion Blade, and Chaos Lunge. Funny thing is,
though, this weapon isn't even close to being the most powerful in Cress'
arsenal. At least the Eternal Swordsman/Dominator titles are free... [Claus
also gets the Warlock summon if he made covenants with Aska and Shadow also.]

Immediately after, everyone gets a tip that Dhaos may be in the Arlee region.

44) Arlee, Town of Eternal Darkness     [WK44]
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Items : Derris Emblem, Yellow Card, Earring (Healer's Mark)
Title : Hopeless Romantic (Claus)
Skill : Phoenix Spear
Recipe: Hashed Beef

Visit the town and make a beeline for the inn. During the scenes, Claus will
get a new title (d'aww) and Mint will get an Earring accessory that nullifies
non-elemental damage. Items obtainable earlier can still be obtained as well:
(1) the Derris Emblem from the restaurant soldier (2) the Phoenix Spear skill
sold by the restaurant swordswoman for 50K (3) the Yellow Card at the armory,
by answering the fogey's quiz: 2, 3, 4. Of course, the Hashed Beef recipe at
the restaurant is still on the table, too.

This is the last mandatory stop before the final dungeon, although there's a
few other things to do before this (sidequests can be found in the sidequest
section):

1) Explore Morlia Mineshaft/Dwarven Temple completely
2) Find Ifreet's greatest treasure (sidequest)
3) Finish Chester's Bow sidequest (sidequest)

Note that to do some of these sidequests, you must first go to the cave NW
of Arlee and use the Sword of Time (in a short scene) to reveal Dhaos'
Castle. After being warped there, just leave back to the world map and get
to the extraneous stuff.

|   |K       _  |G        |  |  Before starting this section, prepare yourself
|   |¯|¯| |¯|I|¯|¯|¯|F|¯| |  |  by obtaining a bunch of healing, medicinal,
|   |J|_| |_| |_|H|_|E|_| |  |  and food items (such as those that heal TP) --
|   |                    C|  |  this ain't no joyride.
|   | |¯|N|¯|O|¯| |¯|D|¯| |  |
|   | |_|_|_|_|_| |_|_|_| |_ |  The first ten floors of this place will be
|   | |Q           P|_|A   _ |  the same as in the past, and hopefully that
|   | |¯| |¯| |¯| |¯| |¯| |  |  means the player can take the shorcut stairs
|   | |_| |_|R|_|_|_|S|_| |  |  back down to the L9. Instead of going the way
|  _| |      ¯        |B  |  |  normally leading to Maxwell's area, go NE to
| |X  |¯| |¯| |¯| |¯| |¯| |  |  an Alvanistan encampment where one can heal
| |Y|W|_| |_|_|_|_|_| |_|_|  |  and buy supplies. The player-controlled ally
|  ¯|¯V     |          T U|  |  should have a Magic Mist (Flee Speed x1.5) and
|    ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯| |¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯   |  Jet Boots (Battle movement speed x1.5), since
|____________________________|  escaping will be very helpful coming up. In
                               fact, it should allow the team to escape from
almost every monster formation save for the Uinal/Hell Master combo -- in
this case, you may trying to run may just get everyone killed, due to the
magical potshots. Kill the Uinals first or don't chance it.

As for a good party average to start at, Lv50-60 should allow the team to
fight with enough prowess and without becoming too bogged down by resource
issues (hopefully). Level up around the encampment zone if needed. [If you
plan on fighting your way down, make sure everyone's got a Fairy Ring.]

My team: Cress, Mint, Arche, Chester

L10: All the team's Holy Bottles will break when they try to go west from
     the savepoint, so make sure you use one to get a small leg-up on the
     journey ahead. The path is very straightforward so continue to...

L13: Here, get items #1-8, in a rather easy west-east progression. There's
     nothing interesting until...

L17: South of the stairway is a Daemonium-like miasma. Go south to inspect
     a large hole in the ground and Claus will be able to claim the forbidden
     summon Chameleon summon, provided he has an Emerald ring (which is found
     in the Cavern of Spirits). Get Items #9-11 before going eastward. Note
     the emergency exit warp, which you'll want to use should the going get
     too tough ahead.

     To open the way ahead, Cress must turn all the floor buttons brown,
     which is easy: step on the westmost and keep going until all are white
     except the eastmost; then, step on the 2nd-from-left to complete the
     puzzle. This is repeated south of there, just in reverse order.

L18: This is the start of the "dark floors," and it doesn't help that they're
     very labyrinthine. I suggest using the map above to find Items #12-15.
     While #12 is out-of-the-way, it's the only method of getting Arche's
     Black Hole spell, so seek it out first to avoid backtracking. (Items #16
     through #18, in the eastern room, aren't that important.)

L19: Another dark level, and another maze that would make a Minotaur weep
     out of sheer ingenuity. Refer to the above map to get Items #19-25, none
     of which are that important, save the Bahamut's Tear, and only then for
     the Collector's Book entry. It's worth mentioning that, around this
     level, Sand Urchins start appearing. They'll kill everyone on foot just
     by bumping into 'em and they can't be killed through normal methods, so
     either run away and save some lives or make sure Arche is along, since
     that ensures that no game over comes (urchin has no attacks to reach).
     Ghosts can run away, too!

L19: THE DARK MAZE: This maze has its own section apart from the normal map,
     because it's a little more complicated than the other places. Annoyingly,
     the lights will pulsate around here, letting the team see the way around
     for a split second before darkness plunges back down. This ensures one's
     often confused and, if you're here long enough, headache-y. However, one
     saving grace can help: the "light" items from the Ifreed Treasure quest.
     This is the only room in Morlia where one can turn them on, and once
     all are shining, the team can always see the way forward to a degree.
     Luckily, once y'know the way around, you can skip the chaff and get the
     useful stuff: Golden Armor, Kikyo, Kannazuki, Red Savory. Said armor's
     the best for Cress so don't forget it.

L20: The next-lowest floor is a fun change-up from the usual drudgery, and
     is well-lit to boot! The statues here will blow Cress away in the
     direction they're facing, so that's how one proceeds. The order is: (1)
     go counterclockwise, avoiding statues, until you find one facing north
     adjacent to one facing east. (2) Let the eastern-facing statue bump
     Cress that direction, avoiding another statue in the process (3) Let
     the nearest east-facing statue do the same thing, avoiding a statue. (4)
     Get the Emerald Ring chest by going around the just-avoided statue, and
     exit.

L21: Well-lit again, but only for a moment. Get Items #27-29 before trekking
     east, into another cavern which mimicks "The Dark Maze". Items #30-42're
     found in this place, although it's not as tricky as other floors (the
     best items are the Emerald Ring and Star Cap). The southern room near
     the bridge leads to another Daemonium chamber, where Claus can claim the
     Gremlin Lair summon...provided he picked up the Sapphire pact ring from
     latter-day Limestone Cave. Across the bridge is a chamber containing a
     ninja-in-training (if you invited Suzu), and she'll teach the Hell Rush
     ability for 470,000g. Unlike other abilities, this is the only way to
     learn the skill, so buy it if possible -- if not, try killing Sokurams
     with the Sephira accessory equipped (30000g/per).

That about does it for the Morlia Mineshaft's treasure expedition. Northeast
of the ninja-in-training's position is a corridor that leads to a savepoint
and the depths' boss, who guards the way to the other optional dungeon. Heal
(and save, preferably on another slot) before fighting.

 BOSS: Wyvern  HP: 41000  EXP: 12500  GAL: 5000  DROPS: ---
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  The boss nullifies all elements except wind (heals) and earth (weak). Also,
  the boss can't be knocked down like some other bosses and floats at a nice,
  constant mid-range height. However, with four allies, this battle shouldn't
  be as difficult as a solo in the Euclidian tournament, where it also shows
  its mug. Have Cress do his best to pester Wyvern, interrupting him a smidge,
  while the others either cast magic, debuff, or in Chester's case, spam the
  living daylights out of Sonic Bash, which is a good multi-hit interruptor.
  Cress' Tiger Blade and Dimension Blade skills work well for his role.

With that, the way to the adjacent temple is open. Note that there's no warp
back to the upper levels just laying around -- y'either have to proceed back
up to the emergency exit or stick with this nightcap of a dungeon.

Collect the first sixteen items in the foyer, which contains Cress and Suzu's
best weapons, plus the awesome Analysis Orb which is essentially a continuous
Holy/Dark bottle (whichever the player chooses). When all's said and done,
inspect the blue orb to create a large warp ("A") near the entrance. There,
keep going south, ignoring the stairway along the way, and reaching a room
with a statue. Use the Sorceror's Ring on it to make it face east, then let
it blow Cress across the gap. Part of the wall here houses a secret passage,
letting the team pass through to an adjacent corridor.

Get Item #17, a skill for Suzu, then #18 & 19, if you have room left. Ignore
the "C" stairway and go south, to another ledge-n'-statue puzzle. Once knocked
to the middle passage, inspect the east/west walls to see they both have a
secret passage (the weird-colored section gives it away). Go east first to
obtain the Lapis pact ring, for the summon at the far bottom; then, go west
(via statue) to reach L4.

Here, in a large chamber, a plaque says something about finding light, and
by trying to go south, an invisible force prevents such an action. Stretching
east/west are two corridors that connect to two rooms, and each room has a
switch that must be turned on (four in all). However, a Beast Lord/Lesser Boar
battle plays when one tries to hit 'em. Funny enough, the team can just flee
without affecting the switch. Try going NW, SW, NE, SE, which can avoid most
of the needless encounters. The invisible force is lifted and the team can
reach the L5.

Items #21-24 are here and should be gotten first. Then, go down the "E" path
and follow it to a chamber with two switches. Two characters must be left
behind here in order to open the door, being the 1st room at the bottom of
the "F" path. Leave behind Arche/Suzu then reach the aforementioned room,
which has a plaque only Arche can read (it alludes how to do get past the
invisible force but I skipped that part to avoid extraneous backtracking).
When the team tries to continue forward, Arche/Suzu rejoin. [NOTE: The inviz
force is now back, so if you step past it, the entire sequence must be done
again.] Get Item #25 before going downstairs.

 BOSS: Brute  HP: 45000  EXP: 2475  GAL: 7750  DROPS: ? Sword (Doom Blade)
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  Brute is rooted to the ground and immobile. Like the strategy versus Gnome,
  staying away and using physical skills works well, since the boss nullifies
  all elements except Light (weak). Spamming Demon Fang from long range will
  ensure the boss is constantly interrupted. Why not attack up-close? The
  fireballs floating around him will generally interrupt Cless before he can
  even get a stroke off. Have Arche just spam Extension, else this will be
  a very slow battle.

Claus can then make a pact with Pluto summon, which should be the final spirit
he needs to get the Master Summoner ability. Get the remaining items in the
treasury behind the platform, including 8-hit Tiger Combo Blast skill before
leaving. Unfortunately, the team will have to backtrack all the way out of
the temple, back to Morlia Mineshaft, and then L17 where the emergency exit
is. Why are the creators so cruel? Because they hate happiness. Enjoy the
long road out. =/

This is the final dungeon in the game, but luckily, the team can leave at any
time, so it's not a point of no return. Speaking of which, there are a few
niggling sidequesty things to do around this time if y'haven't done 'em yet:

1) Get Chester's "Selfless Man" title in Miguel
2) Get all of Suzu's abilities (see skill section for details)
3) Complete the Card Collectors & Legend of Gilgamesh sidequests

It's a good idea to check out the titles/sidequests section for a refresher.
Who knows, y'may have put something off and forgot all about it!

As y'may know, to enter Dhaos's Castle, go to the cave NW of Arlee and find
the clifftop overlook -- the Eternal Sword will transport everyone to the
dwelling. As soon as the team enters...

 BOSS: Roaming Eye  HP: 56600  EXP: 6000  GP: 4900  DROPS: Stone Charm
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  The boss nullifies all elements except light (weak) and darkness (heals),
  so change the AI-controlled allies' skills accordingly. Luckily, despite
  its special sprite, this floating eyeball really ain't that much to crow
  about, so long as Cress interrupts it with his preferred combos. Arche's
  Extension spell will disintegrate this cretin with general ease.

Afterwards, the castle is the team's to explore.

F1: Get Items #1-3 here. The "B" stairway nearby leads to the basement jail,
    which has nothing to claim; the "A" stairway is the correct way to go.
    However, a northern switch must be flipped first before access is granted.

F2: Here, get Items #4-8, with Arche's Meteor Storm spell being the center
    attraction. She should get the "Spell Master" title at this time, for
    obtaining all magic! The exit stairway ("C") seems to be enclosed, but
    there's actually a false east wall the team can walk through. The other
    crap, such as a clue to the staircase's secret, can be summarily ignored.

F3: North of the stairway is a warp blocking an intersection, and this will
    teleport everyone into the basement jail cells if they aren't equipped
    with a Derris Emblem. This leaves two options: (1) let the one person
    with said emblem fight solo on F2, collect the other five emblems, then
    rescue the friends (2) fight Dark Eye enemies in the basement and try to
    get five emblem drops that way. Either way works but the first way will
    definitely be faster. Just make sure to have Holy Bottles or the Analysis
    Orb with a low encounter effect while doing so. Cress will have to fight
    a "Hanzo" enemy before claiming each emblem, though. They're lightweight
    but can poison Cress if he's at mid-range (lame!). Overall Items #9-23
    are on this floor.

    When all five emblems are obtained, return to the basement, free all of
    the comrades imprisoned, then return to F3 and get everyone past the
    warp. There's only one warp like this in the place so switch out the
    emblems for something useful. The exit is in the west, where a five-point
    seal must be broken.

F4: This floor has a lot of passages and a few one-way doors, so the easiest
    way to proceed is to go clockwise from the entrance, getting items #24-29
    in the meantime. The passage to "E" is locked until the SW boss is beaten,
    so that's the next target. Get Items #30-34 before this, though.

    The boss (Seal Eye x2) is basically the same as the first-floor boss,
    except they've got a little more HP and there's two of 'em (duh). They
    got 62600 HP, the same elemental immunities as the Roaming Eye, and can
    be pushed into a corner since they float just above the ground. Also,
    they drop 5000 EXP and 20000 GAL. Just watch out so they don't use their
    spinny attack, which is annoying if they happen to sandwich an ally (by
    Arche's magic exploding them up and over).

    When the bosses are smoldering piles of oil, flip the switch nearby to
    open the "E" stairway in the NE. That's the next stop.

F5: The plaque near the entrance says "start from the end". This refers to
    the order some floor switches must be depressed; basically, go all the
    way west to a dead-end and work east, hitting all the switches (including
    those in rooms) in the order of proximity. Switches glow yellow when they
    are activated, for reference. The final switch is in the starting room,
    in front of the door that's to open. [Get Items #34-36, too, of course.]

F6: Go north to the "G" warp (mirror) and get items #37 & 38 in the new maze.
    The SW corner has another boss encounter with two Seal Eyes, but this
    should be old hat by now. A plaque there talks about a hidden passage in
    the room with the stairs leading down. So, return through the mirror to
    the first chamber in the floor and search the east wall for a secret way,
    which leads to the "I" stairway. Of course, don't forget to get the first
    Lavender (#46 on map) and then go back west once near the "I" stairway,
    through a 2nd passage for items #39-44.

F7: Go north to a bifurcation; take a walk east. Item #46 is in this area,
    but to get back through the one-way door entered a moment prior, hit the
    other antechamber's switch -- this creates a mirror in the easternmost
    dead end, and'll warp the team back to the floor's starting point. Now,
    take a west turn at the bifurcation. Item #47 is in a room on the way
    south. On the ASCII map above, this is the area marked 'To Dhaos'.

This essentially ends the main walkthrough for the dungeon. The rest of the
ascending corridors are straightforward and climb up a few floors, so it's
really just a final stroll before the battle. Save atop the stairs if you're
ready (a separate file, if you can spare one) and get ready to kick Dhaos in
the rear. [If you have any Rune Bottles and stat-boosting items, power 'em
up and eat 'em now.]

 BOSS: Dhaos  HP: 56000  EXP: 12500  GAL: 16000  DROPS: ----
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  As before, Dhaos has no weaknesses, which actually works in the allies'
  favor -- they can fling any elemental attack at him without abandon. Arche
  should spam Extension while Cress interrupts Dhaos' spellcasting. Mint's
  role is to debuff Dhaos and boost Cress' attack, which should help everyone
  get through this first stretch without too much of a fight.

Of course, all bosses can't have just _ONE_ form! Immediately following...

 BOSS: Dhaos' Face   HP: 130000   EXP: 5000  GAL: 70000
 BOSS: Dhaos' Arm    HP: 130000   EXP: ----  GAL: -----
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  No, that's not a typo -- the two targets really have 130K health, so this
  middle stretch will be the hardest. In fact, it's quite possible to have
  the battle go south very quickly, so repeat the same roles as the last
  battle, except have Cress use skills that will interrupt both targets.
  Given their height, it's pretty hard to do this, so it's advised to park
  underneath (or as eastern as possible) and use Tiger Blade, which sweeps
  up to hit the face, then down to hit the arm. Spam this repeatedly (or a
  skill that hits comparably) and have Arche spam Extension. There's only
  one immediate downside to this battle and it's that all HP/TP values from
  the previous one carry over, so if you find yourself failing this step,
  make sure to heal up towards the end of the 1st. [Also helpful is Chester's
  Sonic Bash skill, which is good if you need help interrupting the bosses.]
  NOTE: It's actually a good thing that both enemies have the same health as
  it allows them to be weakened in tandem. If the arm were to die first, then
  it would be a lot harder to hit the face with Tiger Blade and recover, as
  the next try would probably miss -- and that's all the boss needs to fire
  its annoying stun-inducing pellet spray attack.

And the final waltz is with...

 BOSS: Plume Dhaos   HP: 160000   EXP: ----   GAL: -----
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
  This version of Dhaos is essentially like his first, except he's got a
  crapton of HP, can fly around, and is a lot quicker -- particularly when
  it comes to interrupting Cress' attacks. Like before, have Cress pin the
  guy (in a corner if possible) while Mint debuffs/heals and Arche slings
  Extension, or her best ability. The 4th man isn't quite necessary for the
  chain but hey, extra damage is always good. Dhaos' main attacks are a
  quick combo that knocks everyone back (and pierces), plus homing forceballs
  that are good for interrupting. If y'need a good combo, I just do Beast +
  Distortion Blade repeatedly -- easy to chain and great for ensuring Dhaos
  gets off very few attacks.

And with that, the struggles are done and the weapons can be laid to rest.

After the credits, it's possible to make a 'clear save'. What this does is,
by overwriting the current save (so you CANNOT load it again to continue), if
a new game is started, when the team gets the Monster/Collector's Book later
on, any previously-obtained entries will be retained. Also, beating the game
unlocks the "Let's Go Arche!" minigame and Lv3 Maniac difficulty (which can
be changed in the 'Custom' option.]

Most characters learn their abilities by leveling up, but Cress, Arche, and
Suzu have to find (or pay) for some of theirs. Most of the abilities found in
the past are missable, although some aren't -- dual locations are listed. If
a skill isn't listed below, it's learned through leveling.

All abilities are listed in the order they're naturally obtained.

Since Suzu appears in the future, all her abilities can only be found here,
too. However, a few may appear twice: it can either be purchased or found
for free. Is there any reason to pay half a million gald instead of claiming
a free ability? Yes...and no. Buying the skill makes the treasure chest that
holds the free scroll change into another item (for Flare Blitz, a Flame
Baselard; for Merciless Thunder, a Blessed Blade). None of these swords are
one-of-a-kind or comparable to Cress' best stuff, so it's really not worth
doing unless y'really need the Collector's Book entry.

For reference, the ninja-in-training at Volt's Cave is on the cliff where the
titular boss was fought before. For the Tower of Flames, the ninja is located
on the penultimate floor, in the north-central lava room. The free scrolls
are located at the deepest part of the cave, usually the boss room.

What's equipment? It's stuff that's equipped, noodlehead! Okay, I apologize.
Everyone can equip various items to augment their power, from stat-boosters
like swords and armor to random effects, like accessories. Two things:

• The "Use By" column uses the first initials of each characters name to
  tell who can equip what. The order is CCMCAS, or: Cress, Chester, Mint,
  Claus, Arche, Suzu -- i.e. the natural order they're encountered.

• For the Attribute (Atrbt) column, all elements are listed: Light, Dark,
  Earth, Fire, Thunder, Wind, Water, Non-Elemental. The first letter of these
  are used for the abbreviations, except in the case of Wind/Water. For this,
  Wind is abbreviated in lowercase (w) and Water in uppercase (W).

Who says y'can't have good eats while on the prairie? Recipes are a down-home
way of refreshing HP, TP, and statuses, using up base components (bought at
groceries or dropped by some monsters) in the meanwhile. Each recipe will
restore a set amount of HP and/or TP, although sometimes the recipe fails and
a random effect goes off. Around the world are chefs -- some in towns, some
in out-of-the-way places -- who teach these delicacies, so always make sure
to seek them out and have some food components on-hand!

NOTE: Some recipes have leeway with what their components. For instance, the
      Sushi recipe is: Rice + Tuna/Mackerel/Sardine/Squid/Octopus/Shrimp.
      This means the Rice is a required item but only one of the fish types
      is needed to create the dish.

ELWIN & NANCY
_____________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Occurs -: The Past
Reward -: Bridal Gloves, Title: Cupid (Mint)
Missable: Yes

This is part of a matchmaking sidequest, involving Euclid's Nancy and Elwin,
a strapping young lad from Venezia. The steps are as follows.

01) EUCLID: Nancy is the girl standing near the southern town entrance, by a
    tree. Talk to her a few times until she reveals she loves Elwin, the man
    at the town weapon shop. Talk to Elwin, then Nancy, then Elwin, then
    Nancy again -- unrequited love hurts!

02) HAMEL: Nancy is staying at the inn; talk to her

03) VENEZIA: At the inn, agree to help Nancy. Relay her whereabouts to Elwin
    at the northwest publishing house, then return to Nancy -- she'll run off
    to the town fountain. Talk to her there to see the two meet up.

04) VENEZIA: After finishing Demitel's Island, return to the publishing house
    and visit the 2F office for a scene with Elwin's hopping-mad father. When
    the lovebirds flee, find Elwin near the fountain plaza pillars and choose
    to "encourage him".

05) ALVANISTA: Visit the eastern tool shop and talk to Elwin, who asks that
    the party not tell his father their whereabouts.

06) VENEZIA: Once the team knows Elwin & Nancy's relocated, return to the
    hometown and find the father, still at the publishing house. Although it
    seems like the wrong thing to do, tell him where his son is.

07) ALVANISTA: Visit the NE house in town to find Elwin/Nancy talking with
    daddy-o. Agree to help them

08) VENEZIA: After advancing the plot a little (I beat Cave of Burning Sand)
    the elopers should have relocated back to Venezia and are found at the
    publishing house. Talk to Elwin and agree to come to their wedding, which
    is mandatorily attended afterward.

Mint will get the Bridal Gloves and new title after all's said and done. <3

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
MACH RACE 1
___________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Occurs -: Past Alvanista
Reward -: Fame Face, Long Sword, Fur, or Coral / Title: Mach Boy (Cress)
Missable: Yes

When one first gets to Alvanista, the racing boy is found in the eastern
half of the city. Make sure to learn the route the boy takes and PRACTICE,
because as a computer-controlled person, the boy never makes many mistakes.
The only hope of winning is (1) knowing the course (2) getting in front of
the boy, who runs on a set path and stops if blocked. In fact, it's worth
mentioning that you can exploit the set path routine by learning where he
goes and inching along (then having to get back in front at the start of
each lap).

The rewards are: (1) Fur (2) Coral (3) ? Sword (4) ? Sword. The Fur can be
sold for 4000G+ so it makes a good wallet-stuffer, while the Coral sells for
pocket change but helps flesh out the Collector's Book. The third reward is
an ordinary Long Sword, while the fourth is the semi-rare Fame Face weapon.
He can be fought twice more after the first win, so at least 75% of the items
can be obtained.

________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
ISHITORI
________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Occurs -: Past Alvanista Castle
Reward -: Miracle Gels, Spirit Rings / Ishitori Master title (Cress)
Missable: Yes

At the castle's 2F, there's a person who will play ishitori with Cress. The
rules:

1) Whoever takes the last stone from the pot loses
2) The pot contains various stones, often around 26-68 stones
3) Each player can take 1-3 stones from the pot per turn
4) Turns can't be skipped
5) If your turn runs out, the # of stones the other player took is used

If you play the game enough, you'll notice that the opponent will often
counteract the figure Cress puts in to reach a certain number. These special
numbers come up over and over again, because they allow the master to win
easier. [The miracle of save-stating reveals this quite easily!]

1 < 5 < 9 < 13 < 17 < 21 < 25 < 29 < 33 < 37 < 41 < 45 < 49 < 53 < 57 < 61...

The above sequence is a recurring flow of the game. To win, you want Cress
to go first and make it so one of the pot holds one of the above numbers for
the opponent's turn. As the game continues, keep hitting each number in the
sequence. The sequence is derived from _not_ wanting to take the last stone,
so it's a division of four from one -- it's the fast ticket to winning, if
you know this! [Obviously, if the game starts on one of these key numbers,
you'll want to let the opponent go first.]

Cress can win a Miracle Gel for beating the master once, and a Spirit Ring +
new title for the second time. [He can only be played twice.]

_____________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
CHESTER'S BOW
_____________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Occurs -: The Past & Future
Reward -: Elven Bow, Elven Bow 2
Missable: Yes

This sidequest is very easy to miss, and missing out on the 1st step ensures
that it can't be done. After being sent to the Past, the team obtains the
[Broken Bow] key item and Cress wants to fix it for his good buddy.

01) ELF COLONY: After completing Treantwood and being expelled from the town
    due to Arche's antics, try to get back into town and a scene will allow
    Cress to visit the local bowyer. He mentions that Arsia the Woodcarver,
    who lives east of Ymir Forest on the map, could probably fix it.

02) ARSIA'S MANSION: Try the door for a scene with the woman herself, who
    says she'll fix the bow on two conditions: (1) they bring Brambert to
    her (2) someone remains behind as collateral, and will be turned into a
    statue until the bargain's complete. Arche ends up being the "statuesque"
    person for the job.

03) ELF COLONY: Brambert is by the entrance to Treantwood, and agrees to tag
    along back to Arsia's mansion. Once there, Arche returns to normal while
    a replacement is found... That's all that can be done in the past.

04) ARSIA'S MANSION: Once in the future, pay Arsia another visit for some
    scenes, in which Chester obtains the [Elven Bow].

05) ARSIA'S MANSION: After using the Sword of Time to reveal Dhaos' Castle,
    return here and talk to Brambert, who should be downstairs rather than at
    Arsia's side. When the long scenes end, Chester's bow upgrades to the
    Elven Bow 2, his ultimate tool of destruction.

MINT'S PIANO LESSONS
____________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Occurs -: Future Venezia
Reward -: Statue of Dreams, Title: Piano Teacher (Mint)
Missable: No

At the mayor's house, his daughter is banging on the keys like a chimpanzee,
making quite a cacophanous racket. For some reason, Mint knows piano and can
help her gradually improve. To do this, talk with the girl, exit and re-enter
town, then do it again. Eventually, the girl will get so good, a recital will
come -- listen and get the reward afterwards. The entire quest can be done
as soon as the team gets to Venezia so why not get it out of the way? [NOTE:
sometimes you can't talk to Chelsea from the left side of the dais, so do so
from the south.]

___________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
MACH RACE 2
___________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Occurs -: Future Alvanista
Reward -: Special Flag/Silver Mattock/Flare Sprite/Longbow / Title: Mach Man
Missable: No

Like 128 years prior, the mach racer is in the eastern section of town. The
course is the same, too -- the only difference is that Chester will be the
one who challenges the champ. Like before, knowing and practicing the course
is the key to victory. The opponent runs on a set (flawless) path the entire
time, but because of this, if Chester can get in front of him, he stops --
if one knows the path well enough, he can inch along and secure a victory.
One anomaly is that, at the westernmost part of the track, the opponent gets
a huge burst of speed, either closing the gap or pulling ahead. This happens
each round, so be ready for it!

Rewards are: (1) Special Flag, an item that can only be obtained by doing
the race (2) Silver Mattock, a rare item that halves earth damage (3) a Flare
Sprite bow (4) a lame Longbow. Items #1 and #3 are probably the most useful
in the long run.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
SUZU, THE FINAL CHARACTER
_________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Occurs -: The Future
Reward -: You get Suzu, duh
Missable: No

Suzu Fujibayashi is the sixth character who has a special quest all her own,
which can start fairly early into the game.

01) VOLT'S CAVE: She'll be around the cave a few times, requiring help. Do
    so while completing the dungeon.

02) ALVANISTA: In the eastern section, find a male NPC standing near a green-
    -haired woman on a roof. He mentions the existence of the Ninja Village
    hidden in the Treantwood, which is a crucial step. [If you don't learn
    of it's existance, Step #3 doesn't happen.]

03) TREANTWOOD: Using the map in section [WK27], go to the forest's northwest
    dead-end corner. If one learned of the village's existence, then Suzu'll
    be standing there and can whisk everyone away to its location. Arche'll
    come along, too, of course.

04) NINJA VILLAGE: While a lot of things are possible here the first time,
    the only pertinent fact is that Suzu's missing parents were sighted in
    the Euclid area.

05) EUCLID TOURNAMENT: Progress to the final round and, instead of fighting
    the mighty Wyvern, Cress is ambushed by Suzu's parents. Although whether
    Cress wins is irrelevant, this is the only time to Magic Lens the two
    ninja so do that!

06) NINJA VILLAGE: With the parents ordeal in the history books, return to
    Suzu's hometown and she'll join everyone.

_______________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
EUCLIDIAN ARENA
_______________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Occurs -: Future Alvanista Castle
Reward -: Multiple / Title: Champion (Cress) / Skill: Beast Blade
Missable: No

The Arena is accessible from the first time the team goes there, and is used
in the sidequest regarding the final character, Suzu. Cress is the only one
who can fight in here. Each round has a set order of enemies and a prize
based off of it, ten of each in all. Some monsters and items can only be
found in the arena, not to mention the skill and title (the latter impacts
the card-collecting sidequest). A special item pack temporarily replaces the
normal inventory for these fights, which consist of 8 monster battles in a
row (with an opt-out after #8) plus one final enemy, usually the Wyvern boss
who also appears at the bottom of Morlia Mineshaft.

As far as equipment concerns, the Fairy Ring is a no-brainer. A Stone Charm
is nice but one can use a Syrup Bottle for petrification immunity, which'll
just make the Gazer King battles take a little longer than normal. Cress gets
a healing move (Inspiration) at Lv34 so that can help as well.

NOTE: You do not have to defeat the Wyvern to get the round's prizes! Just
      opt not to fight him. However, you cannot get the Champion title w/o
      single-handedly beating him.

For the rewards listed below, there is a certain 'set' of items given if
Cress defeats all enemies (including Wyvern) and an opt-out prize if he
only does the first eight. The opt-out prize will be parenthesized below.
[NOTE: There is no opt-out prize for the first round; the best rewards are
given then.]

IFREED'S TREASURE
_________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Occurs -: The Future (Friezkiel)
Reward -: Ancient Text, Technical Ring, Title: Treasure Hunter (Claus)
Missable: No

This sidequest can only be started after using the Eternal Sword to reveal
Dhaos' Castle, then leaving to Friezkiel's restaurant. Talk to the greenhair
NPC at the bar and accept his proposal: find and keep his father's treasure,
but give the most precious treasure over to him. Graham has a map of generic
hiding places to search at, but the clue to the crown jewel of his collection
is: "With Odin dead ahead and Fenrir on the left, There are the center of the
world lies my most precious treasure." There are twenty-two (22) locations
of treasure around the world to find. [NOTE: You can visit these locations
before the sidequest starts but there's no treasure there for some reason.]
The generic clues are:

"Two in North Euclid and one on Lone Island.
Four in South Euclid, two of which are on islands.
Two on Arlee and one on Fenrir.
Three around Midgards and Ymir and two northeast of Alvanista.
One in East and West Freyland and another far east of Midgards.
And four in North Midgards."

Treasures are typically found in out-of-the-way spots not normally accessible
by the normal paths, meaning isolated beaches, mountain plateaus, etc. The
treasures are listed in the order of the hints.

CARD COLLECTORS
_______________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Occurs -: The Future (Various)
Reward -: The colored cards (for the Collector's Book)
Missable: No

In the future, card collecting is all the rage. No, not Pokemon Cards! It's
...uh, generic colored cards. Well, who knows how these guys think. The point
to collecting them is to flesh out some of the Collector's Book entries, and
that's all. Here's how to get each item. [NOTE: Most cards can be obtained
repeatedly if the prerequisites are fulfilled.]

01) BLACK CARD : In Miguel, talk to robed man hanging around the inn's area
02) BROWN CARD : At Euclid Castle (F2), girl will trade it for Black Card
03) GREEN CARD : Venezia grocery; guy trades it for a Melon and Kelp
04) WHITE CARD : Freyland Desert, north oasis; woman trades it for Brown Card
05) BLUE CARD  : Friezkiel's armory; buy it for 50,000g
06) YELLOW CARD: Arlee's armory; answer geezer's quiz 2, 3, 4.
07) RED CARD   : Ninja Village; talk to woman outside shop w/ Champion title

The above order isn't the natural order they're obtained. For instance, the
Green Card guy wants a Melon but it's only available in the Elf Colony.

LEGEND OF GILGAMESH
___________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Occurs -: Friezkiel (Future)
Reward -: Statue of Bravery
Missable: No

In the town's inn, a little kid talks about the legend of Gilgamesh. The hard
part about this quest is that there's no clue as how to complete the quest,
or what it entails. However, for someone who's played Tales of Phantasia and
swam around in its knowledge pool, the way is clear: collect certain items
that are "Gilgameshy" and the kid will give over the reward once they're all
collected. There are twelve (12) items in all and they are...

A Silver Mattock can also be won from the Mach Race II in Alvanista. Note the
items only have to be in one's possession, not necessarily equipped.

SUZU'S TRIAL
____________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Occurs -: Ninja Village
Reward -: Kuroyuri, Title: Sneaker (Suzu)
Missable: No

By returning to Ninja Village late in the game and talking with the chief,
Suzu can undergo her rite of passage in the form of five trials. I'm not sure
of the trigger for this event: it may be plot-, skill- or level-related. In
either case, it takes awhile to open up -- collect as many skills as possible
just to be sure.

Anyway, the skills will be fought by Suzu alone, so she should have the best
equipment available. Mine is: Ninja Sword, Kannazuki, Shield Ring, Mask, Iron
Claws, Poison Charm, Fairy Ring. There's a little leeway but that's my
desired setup anyway -- for instance, if she's underleveled, give her the
Persian Boots to reduce all damage intake. To start the trial, talk with the
chief and agree to continue.

There are five training ninja to fight and they pose a question beforehand.
The preferable "ninja" answers are listed below.

Q1: Eliminate the spouse? [Y]
Q2: Betray the friend? [Y]
Q3: Kill random person? [Y]
Q4: Reveal secret to world? [N]
Q5: Finish off own parent? [Y]

ENEMY #1: Kosuke    HP: 5000
ENEMY #2: Jinbachi  HP: 10000
ENEMY #3: Juzo      HP: 20000
ENEMY #4: Saizo     HP: 30000
ENEMY #5: Sasuke    HP: 50000
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
 Lucky for the player, each of these ninja battles are the same: the foes
 use swords at close range and throw poison shurikens at mid- and long-range.
 Suzu can get through these fights with little difficulty by spamming the
 awesome Hell Rush combo (7-hit) or using Summon: Jiraiya if she needs to
 heal up (buys some time). If Suzu fails to win, there's no game over -- she
 just has to do it all over again. [NOTE: All these ninja are one-time fights
 so use Magic Lens on 'em.] All ninja are weak to light-elemental attacks too,
 for some reason.

After winning all five battles, Suzu can obtain the reward: a Kuroyuri knife.
Unfortunately it's not as good as the Ninja Sword in Morlia Mineshaft, so it
may not pay off as much as you'd have hoped... Suzu also gets the Sneaker
title and, apparently, a free level-up. Hooray!

Titles are special nicknames given to the allies when they do something note-
-worthy or participate in a certain event. They don't affect any aspect of the
game, however, and are just for fun. The "M" column denotes if the title is
permanently missable (Y/N answers). Anything with a "Y" in the column has its
own window of opportunity to get; anything else has no time limit (although
if you never bother to do 'x' event, you still miss it!).

These are listed in the order found in-game, which shouldn't matter too much
if you use the walkthrough (says when each special one appears).

MONSTER LIST                                                             [MNST]
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
A little ways into the game, Mint gives Cress a Monster List, which is really
an in-game bestiary. When a monster is faced in battle, generic information's
stored in the item. However, to get more in-depth info, one has to throw a
Magic Lens to reveal their weaknesses. This should reveal all information on
the enemy _EXCEPT_ their item drops and/or steals. Dropped items have to be
obtained first-hand to be entered in the book, and even then, if they require
a Rune Bottle (such as a "? Bow"), the resultant item is not listed. Steals
have to be done first-hand, too, of course.

Now, the listing order is the same as in-game but there doesn't seem to be
much semblance in the way the developers made it, so it's not chronological.
Other things:

• Inherent spoilers beyond

• Some bestiary entries are listed differently than the normal foes. For
  instance, the "Spiny Devil" boss fought early in the game is "Spined Devil"
  in the book. The dichotomy probably stems from the in-game names having a
  set number of spaces; the bestiary doesn't have that problem. These items
  will be listed at the bottom of the table.

• This is just a rough list on where to find the foes, not a regurgitation of
  the bestiary! Most people generally need to find where to get the monsters
  and can take it from there. [Plus, some of the listed stats for the foes're
  wrong anyway, like Efreet's EXP gains: it's 1000 not 4000.]

• In the location notes, (P) means Past, (F) means future. Present times will
  just be listed without those notes to differentiate. Example locations are
  given that prioritize where it's easiest to find them; or, the only place
  to find them if they're missable/rare/etc. Some show up in a crapload of
  places so they can't all be detailed, after all.

V. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS                                            [FAQZ]
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
[Q] - How do you check equipment stats and elemental attributes?
[A] - In the equip menu, press start over a selected item to see its general
      description, then hit select to toggle its stats.

[Q] - How do you flee battle?
[A] - Move the currently controlled character to the extreme left/right of
      the battlefield and a gauge will show up; when it's completely red, all
      allies run. Note that being damaged will interrupt the gauge some, and
      it's harder to run from multiple tougher enemies. Having a Magic Mist
      or Mist Orb (available later on) increases escape speed.

[Q] - What does the Mystic Pouch/Magic Pouch do?
[A] - When you walk around in dungeons, random items fly out (i.e. you get
      free items).

[Q] - How do I get through Tower of Flames without being burnt alive?
[A] - This part's thrown many people for a loop. You need to kill Geraldins
      to receive Flame Charms, then use a Rune Bottle on said charms to make
      'Ice Charms'. They reduce fire damage by 30% and have a hidden side
      effect of protecting everyone from the lava room's intense heat.

[Q] - Sometimes when I rest at inns, Chester practices. Why?
[A] - When you get Chester back, the long absence shows just how weak he is
      in comparison to the rest of the globe-trotting team. He practices to
      gain levels and abilities quicker and thus be more helpful. These li'l
      scenes stop after his level's high enough, of course.

[Q] - How do I get past the warp on F2 of Dhaos's Castle (Future)?
[A] - The warp only lets those with a Derris Emblem equipped past by. While
      one emblem can be given free by a soldier in Arlee's restaurant, there
      are two ways two get enough for everyone: (1) on F2, whoever has the
      soldier's emblem equipped can get five others spread out around the
      floor (2) in the basement jail area, Dark Eyes may drop 'em. Six are
      needed to get everyone through, five if the secret character hasn't
      been invited.

[Q] - How do I kill the Land Urchins in Morlia Mineshaft?
[A] - These pesky damage-nullifying foes can be killed by using Magic Tablet
      items on 'em. These rare items are created from Ivory (dropped by
      Bigfoot) and forged by a man at Gheeth's Shop, south of Freyland's area.
      However, since they give nothing substantial, just run from 'em.

[Q] - I got the Master of Secrets title, but how do I use Dark Blade?
[A] - This situation's understandable since there's no info given on the
      subject. Dark Blade can only be used when Cress' health is in critical
      condition (red-colored). The combo is A + B + L + R, although if y'try
      to use that, it may not work. Commonly, the best way to do it is to
      clear all shortcuts and assume a defensive posture (Down + R), then add
      in the A + B + L part. If done right, watch the fireworks!
