|Warsong/Langrisser/The best genesis game ever. FAQ 1.0 03/03/2005 |
|Author: Sexy, Sexy Seal. (Sometimes known as sexy, sexy Elmdor....) |
| |
|Contact me at
[email protected] with questions, pointers, suggestion and |
|be sure to write "Warsong" in the topic. Add me @ MSN if you want some hot, |
|steaming cybersex. |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|General Info about this FAQ - Make sure to notice that reading this part will|
|be a complete waste of time no matter what you're expecting or looking for. |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
This FAQ may be not be reproduced under any circumstances except in case that
you wish to make fun of me.
If you want to put this guide on a website you should consider getting a life.
All trademarks and copyrights contained in this document are probably owned by
someone or something. Not giving them any credit might be a violation of -
copyright, but what do I know?
|---------------------|
| Version Information |
|---------------------|
Version 0.5 (24/02/2005): My friends are in school and I'm bored.
Only Five characters and endings are added.
But the FAQ got rejected (ouch) by GameFAQs due to lack of content.
Version 1.0 (03/03/2005): I've been drinking too much and now I'm
tired. A prefect time to update this in other words (sleep is -
for the weak.) Every ending added along with the item list. This
is when I decided that I want this to be something more than just a
list with all the endings. I also made some headers and some other shit.
FAQ got rejected once again because I screwed up...
Version 1.1 (06/03/2005)
Nothing added. FAQ Submitted properly this time though.
Version 1.3 (Date Unknown)
I actually read through the whole thing and corrected some spelling misstakes.
Version X (02/05/2005)
I've started to add "non-ending" related info, if that makes any sense. I'm
not sure what I should call this version as it's really 0.<something> but
going back like that would be kinda queer so, um....yeah.
Version 1.4 (27/06/2006)
Meh, real FAQs are lame. I finally guessed my pass right so I can update
this now. Some typos fixed.. if this even is the right file...
[More to come]

[Version 1:]
I made this FAQ because of one reason, and one reason only, I was bored.
I just wasn't bored enough to make it a "real" FAQ which is why it only
covers stuff like the endings and the items. I'm however planning to,
gradually, add more game-related information and my dream is that this will
one day be the best Warsong FAQ on the internet.
Well, actually I couldn't care less about that. My fingers is typing stuff
on their own. Shana Hiatt is really hot, I wonder if she'll sleep with me.
Oh, I was listening to Green Day as I was writing this and I find it very
difficult to do something while listening to music which is why this -
document may suck.
[Version X:]
This is no longer an "Endings FAQ". It's a general FAQ now, it sucks though.
Samaire Armstrong is really hot and I'm cheating on Green Day with NOFX and
the Vandals.

Warsong (Known as Langrisser in Japan) is a turnbased 'strategy-RPG', even
though that's not an actual genre. My source of information tells me that it
was originally released for Sega MegaDrive and later ported to Genesis
which is when it became "Warsong" but I wouldn't put any money on that.
Especially not since I've always thought that the Genesis and the MD were
the same thing. When I asked him about it he said that he read it in "some
FAQ, somewhere". But if I don't ask him which one it's not a crime, right?
No one payed the game any attention at first, but seeing as there's about
10 sequels (Japanese only :( ) I think it's safe to assume that someone
other than myself liked it.
If *you* like this game I can recommend "Langrisser 2" (Genesis) or
preferably "Der Langrisser" (SNES) there are 100% translations available for
both games (as in roms), the one for the SNES game sucks though -
(A 50-75% Patch is your best choice.) And I haven't actually tried the
genesis translation myself so if you have any information about it I'd
appreciate an e-mail.
The game is like a mix of 'Fire Emblem' and 'Advance Wars', you control both
commanders and "normal", nameless soldiers. Like in advance wars every unit
is represented by 10 Soldiers/Horsemen/Monks/Prostitutes etc.
While the commanders will gain levels and change classes every 10 levels
(Like in Fire Emblem) the Subordinate units will always suck....I felt
obligated to point that out.
Conclusion: Warsong is a nicely designed game with a kickass soundtrack.
|----------|
|The Story:|
|----------|
Baltia was once a nice little kingdom where everybody could live happily.
The elderly would get all the medical care they needed and the children
could roam the city freely without having to worry about being molested
by that strange old man who lives in the big mansion deep in the forrest.
But all of that changed one day when the Dalsis empire attacked Baltia in the
hunt for Warsong, the legendary sword. While the King, Alfador, stays in the
castle, defending his kingdom to the end, he sends his son Garret to get help.
After that Baltia falls, Alfador dies, Warsong gets stolen, "Evil" (That's
just evil in general, no specific evil -_-) is reborn and monsters appear in
great numbers and tries to take Warsong back.
And of course it's your job to take care of this. *Sigh* Where is Ghostbusters
when you actually need them?
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| If you don't like Ass-Jokes you should look for another FAQ |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------------|
|2B - How to play (For people without brains) [kickass]|
|------------------------------------------------------|
Hmm, where to start? Well, the point of this game is to beat every scenario, or
level, whatever you want to call it. I'll be sticking to scenario though, and I
hope that's okay with you, because to be honest I've always thought that the
word "level" is a bit queer. Don't get me wrong now, I respect all the people
in the world and I'm not one of those guys who go out at night to "smash -
"fa**ots" or anything.
So if you're done, whining about what words I use, maybe I can explain what you
do in these scenarios. Well, you read the "Victory Conditions" in the beginning
and then do what it says there. Usually you just have to kill all, or a certain,
enemy but sometimes you also have to keep some character alive or somethig like
that.
Characters start at a certain class and end at a certain class. Each class has
a specific AT (attack power), DF (defense power) MV (movement range), MP
(Magic Points), A (attack bonus for troops) and D (defense bonus for troops).
These stats (especially A and D) should be taken into consideration when
choosing what troops to take and how to fight.
Before you start a battle, you can hire troops if you have enough points
(which are made by defeating monsters) and equip items if you have them. You
can hire up to 8 troops of the same type, you can't mix two types of troops
per commander.
Once you start the battle, you will have the first go. Select what you want
to move then move it. If you are adjacent to the enemy, you can attack it,
though it is not always wise to attack. Keep an eye at the bar on the bottom.
At the left side of the bar, it shows your terrain. The % beside it is how
much of a defensive bonus you have. The higher the %, the better you'll be
able to defend from attacks (but your movement will be less on these parts,
depending on the class and troop).
If your commander can use magic, select the Magic option from the menu. You
cannot move and use magic, you have to stay where you are.
If your commander is running low on HP, have them use the Treat command, which
will use their turn to restore 3 HP. Also note that if your troops are weak,
you can place them adjacent to your commander and when your turn comes up,
they will regain 2-3 HP. Keep that in mind instead of wasting your troops on
the enemy.
The Command option can save your life. This will determine what you want your
troops to do. Move means they will just move with the Commander and attack
anything near. Attack means they will move to strike and attack as long as
they are within the Commander's range (usually 3-4 squares away). Defense
means that they will get close to the commander, and Manual means that they
will not move unless you move them yourself. Use Defense when your troops
start running low on HP.
When you engage in battle with the enemy, you will be shown on one side and
the enemy on the other. The big numbers show how much HP you have. The green
bar at the top shows your experience points, and when it fills, you gain a
level. Get to level 10 and you get a class change. For every point of damage
you give, it will show with one sword under the experience bar, and the same
for the enemy. When HP reaches 0, the troops or commander will die off the
map.
Once your turn is over, press Start and select "End of Phase". Any available
troops or NPCs will make their move. After everyone is done, the enemy will
have their Phase and make their moves. After they are done, you get your turn
again.
That is basically how you play this game.

| | 3 - The Characters [Monkeyass] | |
===| |===============================================================| |==
| | | |
\ / \ /
\/ \/
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Garett (Ledin): The main man. Get him killed and you're game over. |
|Kinda Like Squall (FFVIII) I think he's too girly to be a main character, |
|and all the accessories and that golden tiara of his just makes him look |
|stupid. But don't misunderstand me now, he's still pretty hot in a manly |
|way and I'd do him any day.|----------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------|
Gar is a kickass fighter, a kickass Lord, and a kickass King. So this is
the "Advancement Path" I recommend: (If you're not interested in the game
you might want to skip this part....But why are you even reading this, then?)
Fighter -> Lord -> King
But if you're an idiot or if you just don't like red-heads this info will
help you make Garret crappy:
Fighter -> Knight or Lord
Lord -> King or Magic Knight
Knight -> Knight Master or Grand Knight (Grand Knight is actually a pretty
good class too, if you're playing the game a second time or something)
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Baldarov (Volkov): Garett's bodyguard and Mentor. He's old and weak and |
|dies early in the game *spoiler* (unpreventable) |
|The +9 DEF Bonus he gives his troopers is pretty rad though.|-------------|
|------------------------------------------------------------|
The Only class available for Baldy: Sword Master.
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Mina (Kris): A travelling Suicide-Cult leader Garett meets on the way |
|between the first and the second scenario. She's the only hot girl in |
|Warsong so you should try to keep her alive even though she'll suck |
|through most of the game. Your only option is to make her a saint, |
|otherwise you can replace the "most of" with "the entire"....to do that|
|you'd have to disregard the "the" before "game" though...hmm....this is|
|getting confusing.|----------------------------------------------------|
|------------------|
Cleric -> Priestess -> Saint
Or.... >_>
Advancement:
Cleric -> Warlock or Priestess
Priestess -> High Priestess or Saint
Warlock -> Bishop or Wizard
Making her a Wizard will put her on Calais's path. *DON'T* do that.
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Calais (Jessica): Some purple haired bitch who works for Garret's Father. |
|She'll be captured in the invasion of Baltia and failing at life is her |
|only forte (which makes very little sense.) You should make her a Cleric |
|and put her on Mina's path to become a Saint otherwise - |
|(it'll take forever to make her a saint so might not have the patience) |
|just make her an Arch Mage or a Magic Knight.|----------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------|
Warlock -> Cleric - Priestess -> Saint
(Or Warlock -> Wizard -> Arch Mage)
Advancement:
Warlock -> Cleric or Wizard
Wizard -> Arch Mage or Magic Knight
(Magic Knight -> Ranger) Ranger = Hidden "Fat Ninja" class. She'll be
mega-powerful but she won't be able to recruit any troops.
Cleric = Mina
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Sabra (Nahmu): A Baltia Commander with pink hear and a butt ugly face. |
|According to the instruction manual Garret didn't want to touch her even |
|when he was drunk. Make her a Dragon Knight, seriously, DO IT!|-----------|
|--------------------------------------------------------------|
Fighter -> Lord -> Dragon Knight (The sweetest class in the game)
Still....you might be retarded so:
Advancement:
Fighter -> Lord or Knight
Lord -> Dragon Knight or Magic Knight
Knight -> Grand Knight or Knight Master
(Magic Knight -> Ranger)
|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Tiberon (Tiira): He used to be a pirate but decided to throw away his |
|eyepatch, kill his parrot and serve King Alfador Instead. Tiberon is a |
|crocodile knight but unless you don't want to use him after scenario 9 |
|(which is when water pretty much ceases to exist) you have to make him a|
|knight *sigh*. Meh, Tib is so cool, why did the game developers do this |
|to him?|----------------------------------------------------------------|
|-------|
Crocodile Knight -> Knight -> Knight Master
...the Serpent Knight is cooler though, so...
Advancement:
Crocodile Knight -> Serpent Knight or Knight
Knight -> Knight Master
|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Carleon (Hawking): Duke Carleon is an old Friend of Garett's family. |
|Other than that he just looks gay.|----------------------------------|
|----------------------------------|
Lords > Knights, Which is why you should make Carleon a Magic Knight.
Fighter -> Lord -> Magic Knight
But if you don't want three (or even four) Magic Knights:
Advancement:
Fighter -> Knight or Lord
Lord -> Magic Knight
Knight -> Knight Master
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Thorne (Soun): One of Duke Carleon's Knights. He's really stupid looking. |
|Other than that he's just a clone of his master.|-------------------------|
|------------------------------------------------|
Fighter -> Lord -> Magic Knight
Same as Carleon....
Advancement:
Fighter -> Knight or Lord
Lord -> Magic Knight
Knight -> Knight Master
|----------------------------------------------------------|
|Bayard (Albert): Commander of a small castle called Anzel |
|He's just another worthless Carleon / Thorne clone.|------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
Fighter -> Lord -> Magic Knight
Same as Carleon....and Thorne....
Advancement:
Fighter -> Knight or Lord
Lord -> Magic Knight
Knight -> Knight Master
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Lance (?) - As the game starts this guy is one of Emperor Pythions (Evil) |
|Commanders. You'll have to defeat him several times until he finally joins|
|you after the death of his former master. He'll leave just before the last|
|Scenario though, and he can't gain experience after he joins you Don't use|
|him unless you've maxed out one of the other characters. |
| |
|It's a shame that he doesn't become a normal character after he joins you.|
|Lance is so much cooler than Garret. Bad guys ALWAYS win.|----------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
The Only class available for Lancy: Dragon Knight

|-------------|
|"Game Ending"|
|-------------|
After you kill the Final Boss which is a monster named 'Chaos' he says some
confusing crap about that he'll come back because along with 'Order' he
exists to balance the world, or something like that. And when humans fight
each other they destroy the world so everytime a big war breaks loose he'll
bump in to "stop it" (As he, apparently, just did.)
Of course this makes very little sense. Seeing as the monsters never worked
to make human enemies join forces (except for Lance, and that's ONE single
person.) They just...well, killed all the humans they could find and Garret
didn't even care about that until AFTER he had avenged his father by
killing Pythion and, more importantly, until after he got Warsong back.
And Warsong, what does it really have to do with the story? In the
beginning Calais explains why monsters appear after it gets stolen, but it
doesn't make any sense considering what Chaos says. And why do the
monsters try to steal Warsong? I thought they were "here" to save the world.
And the best question, why does Garret fight Chaos? Why don't Chaos just
tell Garret all this after he defeats Pythion, since Chaos claims that wars
will destroy the world why does he keep fighting? I guess he just likes to
kill people.
After that Garret asks himself if he saved the world or if it's on the path
to ruin. And then he says that he believes that the world will be ok as long
as there's people with a sense of justice somewhere on Earth. Garret is very
naive.
|-------------------|
|Possible Solutions:|
|-------------------|
A) The guys who translated the game didn't know any Japanese so they just
made stuff up.
B) Chaos is stupid.
C) Chaos Lied.
**Do you have any other solutions? MAIL ME!**
The Ending just sucks. It's contradicting and stupid but hey, it's an
Old game. People were dumb back then. If you don't agree with what I
wrote here (IE: If you can explain this to me) Send me an E-mail
about it, please.
|-----------------|
|Character Endings|
|-----------------|
Just like in the Suikoden games. You'll see the face pictures and some
crappy text. Enjoy!
|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
|Garret: "Father.... Baldarov... " |
| |
|He Returned to Baltia and acceded the throne. |
|He confined Warsong once again and is now trying to unify the land |
|- seeking a warless world.|----------------------------------------|
|--------------------------|
Comments: Meh, Boring. He's the only one left with an army.
He should rule the world with an iron fist!
|-------------------------------------------------|
|Baldarov: "My head.... why is it so... hairless?"|
| |------------|
|The old fool was killed by a sniper.|
|------------------------------------|
Comments: Haha?
|--------------------------------------------------|
|Mina: "I wonder whether Chaos told us the truth?" |
| |
|She married Garret and became the queen of Baltia,|
|and is now living happily with him.|--------------|
|-----------------------------------|
Comments: Good For Him. She's hot.
|--------------------------------------------------|
|Calais: "The castle, the castle is collapsing... "|
| |
|She Remained in the Empire of Baltia as the |
|Court Mage and worked to decipher the scrolls of |
|the Magic Knight.|--------------------------------|
|-----------------|
Comments: Whoop-Dee-Do! Calais is staying! *sigh*
Um, what scrolls?
|--------------------------------------------------|
|Sabra: "It was a long, long fight... " |
| |
|She left for further training in swordmanship.|---|
|----------------------------------------------|
Comments: I don't care if that ugly bitch leaves but
she could've left her Dragon in Baltia.
|-------------------------------------------------|
|Tiberon: "Prince, we finally did it... " |
| |
|He Left the Empire after Alfador's death and went|
|back to the sea as a pirate.|--------------------|
|----------------------------|
Comments: ....no. He served Garret and fought Chaos
after Alfadors death. The fact that he went back to
being an evil pirate is brilliant, now Garret will
have to fight him. Tiberon For Lyfe!
|-------------------------------------------------|
|Carleon: "Alfador, Are you watching over me?" |
| |
|He Returned to Sultras and is now living with his|
|family peacefully|-------------------------------|
|-----------------|
Comments: Why would Alfador watch over HIM!? Aha!
Carleons is his bastard son. Family? Tsk....
|--------------------------------------------|
|Thorne: "I made it Finally" |
| |
|He left the Kingdom on a journey, without a |
|particular purpose.|------------------------|
|-------------------|
Comments: Made what? Haha, big surprise. He's a tool.
|-------------------------------------------------|
|Bayard: "I Avenged them all... " |
| |
|He was appointed to Commander of the Baltia |
|Knights in return for his efforts in the last |
|battle.|-----------------------------------------|
|-------|
Comments: Haha, he got Sabra's job. Is that why
she Left?
|-------------------------------------------------|
|Lance: (No Quote) |
| |
|After the final battle was over, his body could |
|not be found and he's still missing.|------------|
|------------------------------------|
Comments: Just like Viktor And Flik in Suikoden,
did Konami steal everything from this game?
I guess this means that he's dead. Otherwise he's
just hiding real good.
