*--------------------*
What is Pachisi? In DW3 for the GBC (and SNES although it was never
released stateside) There are boards scattered throughout the game that
you can play a game called Pachisi on. For more details check out the
Rules and Symbols section (IV), but the geist is that you roll a dice and
move one of your characters along a board, trying to get to the goal to win
some prizes. Each time you stop, something may happen to change the course
of the mini-game depending on the symbol on that space.
Needless to say, since I am writing this FAQ, they are tons of fun and
you can win some great gear with just a litttle time and effort. To make the
experience as fun and easy as possible, I wrote this FAQ to help you.

| III. Version History |
*-----------------------*
Version 0.5 - Thanks a bunch to Sdwwrym, who let me use his FAQ to find
8/26/01 many of the tokens I was missing. Theoretically
I now have every Token in the game up until his
Walkthrough ends at the Silver Medal Door in the
2nd Bonus Dungeon.
Next update will have the final board and will be v1.0,
this means it's the final version of the FAQ save
error changes.
Reformated Token and Version History Sections.
Version 0.4 - Sorry for the 2 week wait, but the distance between boards
8/19/01 3 and 4 is HUGE. Also, I have discovered that the
last board, board 5, is in the well in Zipangu well,
but you must first complete the game and the first
Bonus Dungeon to use it, so expect another fairly
long wait until the next update.
With any luck, V 0.5 will have almost all of the tokens, so
stay tuned.

| V. Pachisi Boards |
*---------------------*
A. Shrine 1: Romaly
Location: North of Romaly
Directions: Exit Romaly and walk due
north until you hit mountains.
Then walk 4 steps East, and 4
steps North (It looks like a
small shrine of sorts).
Monsters: From the Reeve and Aliahan Regions
Reccomended Level: 7
Rolls: 10 Dice Rolls per game
Description: A very linear and simple board to
get you aquainted with the mini-
game, it is 21 spaces long and
only has two sub-paths that each
add a mere 6 spaces to the length
of your journey.
Reccomended Path: Strait upwards (forward),
but feel free to take one of
the side paths if you will
land on either of the Dice+
spaces right next to the fork,
they are a huge help

B. Shrine 2: Ashalam
Location: South-West of Ashalam
Directions: Exit Ashalam and walk 10
steps West and 14 steps South.
Its a shrine in the middle of
a medium-sized Forest.
Monsters: From the Romaly and Kazave Regions
Reccomended Level: 10
Rolls: 22 Dice Rolls per game
Description: The Pachisi board is a giant circle,
58 sqares around, on which you must
travel clockwise. The goal is on a
short 6 square strech in the center
accessable by three Traveler's Gates
on the circular portion of the track.
Reccomended Path: If you are going for the goal, I
recommend trying the course again if
you miss all three Traveler's Gates
on your first lap, otherwise you will
almost certainly not have enough rolls
to complete the course.

C. Shrine 3: Lone Cave
Location: In the middle of the largest
continent (the Asia look-alike)
Directions: Warp to Aliahan, exit the town,
and jump on your ship. Sail due
South until you are in between
Asia and North America. Of the
three main rivers flowing from the
Pacific into Asia, we want the
middle one (the one that marks the
Northern edge of the Great Forest).
Follow the river East and South,
and stop when you see some hills to
your left. The cave where board
is, is in the forest just past
those hills.
Monsters: From the Portola Region and the Pyramid
Reccomended Level: 20
Rolls: 20 Dice Rolls per game
Description: The first of the 'advanced' boards,
it is the first board to have two
floors and the first to be truly
difficult. It is in the shape of
two distorted crosses, or, more
accurately (and less politically
correct) two distorted Nazi
swastikas.
Reccomended Path: You will come to a crossroads
where you have three choices,
East, West, or South. West is
the best choice, since it is the
shortest route and only has one
major obstacle, a single trap door.

D. Shrine 3: Kol's Well
Location: In the well in the village of
Kol (In the Dark World)
Directions: Warp/Sail to Kol and enter the well
there (it's the village in the giant
forest on the North-East continent)
Monsters: From all around the Light World's overworld
Reccomended Level: 30
Rolls: 25 Dice Rolls per game
Description: This board is annoyimg because it takes
a minimum of two tokens to complete,
once to get to each of the two Goal doors.
The bottom floor is shaped like a 'W',
with the start on a small branch down
from the middle hump.
Reccomended Path: The crossroads on the first floor
decides which half of the second floor
you go to. The left fork leads to the
Southern part of the second floor and
the goal that has a Light Dress. The
right fork goes to the Northern part
of the second floor and the goal that
has a Life Ring and the Ultimate Whip.

| VII. Tips and Tricks |
*------------------------*
Tips
Use the Hero, he has almost Soldier-like stats and gear, and
his heal spells are ultra-useful.
If you don't wish to use the Hero for whatever reason, you
can use a Soldier or Fighter.
Use the Map option frequently.
The prizes at the end of each map are by far the best, so unless
you have tokens to spare, don't worry about the smaller
prizes
Don't save if you don't get what you want, tokens are hard to come by.
If you are trying for the goal, DO NOT SEARCH PLAINS/FOREST/HILL
SPACES, you find Trap Doors way to often
