INTRODUCTION: (INTR)
*******************************************************************************
This walkthrough is for Mouryou Senki Madara for the NES. This guide is based
on the translation released by AGTP. This is a very challenging and unique
RPG. You take control of Madara, a former mutilated baby on a quest to regain
his old body parts and overthrow the Kongo Army led by evil Emperor Moriku.
Eight Moki Generals will stand in your way. This walkthrough will cover the
complete game from beginning to end and outline all the items, spells, skills
and treasures you will acquire along the way.
*******************************************************************************
VERSION HISTORY: (VERS)
*******************************************************************************
I started work on this guide on Sunday, April 28th, 2013. While I was writing
this walkthrough, I was also creating maps for various areas of the game. I
completed everything on Wednesday, May 8th, 2013.

CHARACTERS: (CHAR)
*******************************************************************************
There are three types of characters in this game. Fighters, Shaman's and the
Inishe. You can have up to four characters in your party after a certain point
in the story. It's always advisable to have at least one of each type of
character and then decide what you want the fourth character to be. Some
skills can only be learned by characters of a certain class. Depending on your
party setup, you may open a chest in a dungeon and no one will be able to learn
the skill. Many characters are similar in skill and evenly matched so your
reason to include a certain character over another might be storyline
motivated.

*******************************************************************************
HINTS AND TIPS: (HTIP)
*******************************************************************************
Here are a few basic tips that will help you along your journey.
- Make use of the Goriki and Yoriki spells at all times. These spells will put
a barrier that will protect each character from receiving damage. After a
certain amount of damage is received, the barrier will break and the spell will
need to be applied again. You can cast these spells and then immediately rest
at an inn as any buff in this game will not expire once a battle is over. It
may seem to make the game easy at first, but once you hit around the middle of
the game it will almost be a requirement to survive.
- This game can be challenging in many parts, but take the time to understand
the game mechanics. As long as you use the tools and spells available to you,
you won't have any issues at all with challenge except at a few spots in the
game when there is a slight shift in difficulty.
- Use the Jokahu spell once you receive it. Like the Goriki and Yoriki spells,
this spell will last over several battles. Its purpose is to prevent status
ailments from being inflicted. If you do not use this spell often, you will be
inflicted with all types of status ailments that can only be healed by an
applicable Soma, or a healer in town.
- Battle positioning is everything. Never have your weaker characters set up
so that they obstruct your direct attackers. If you see your strong characters
being obstructed quite a bit, change your set up.
- Dying in this game is rather unique. If you die, it will not be a game over
nor will you lose any of your Coins. You will simply return to the last place
you saved. Note that after you revive your fallen members, they will not be
immediately available to go back into your party. You will have to select
others to fill their spots. Once a season goes by, you should then be able to
find then in a village. Note that you may have to use the Rain Tree's Foretell
option to find them. Here is the very frustrating part though. Once you do
recruit them back, they will not have the same equipment that you left them
with. They will have inferior equipment, nor have any of the items they held
previously. Imagine having a character die while holding four White Somas.
This aspect of the game does lead to good reply value as you will experience
many of the different characters. This will have a negative impact on your
wallet though as you may have to keep purchasing weapons and armor over and
over again, not to mention the risk of losing a unique weapon or armor that
cannot be purchased.
- Try your hardest to not have to revive Madara at a healer unless it's early
in the game. Use a White Soma so he won't lose his items and equipment. Near
the endgame when Madara gets his best sword, if he is revived at a healer, it
will be lost forever.
*******************************************************************************
WALKTHROUGH: (WK00)
*******************************************************************************
===============================================================================
INTRODUCTION (WK01)
Items: None
The game starts with a rather gruesome narrative of how Madara was found as a
dismembered baby floating down a river from Mount Shuma. The town elder,
Tatara, saved him and created new limbs for him out of gadgets. He, along with
his grandchild Kirin helped raise Madara. Most of the world at this point had
fallen to "Moki" controlled by Emperor Miroku. Miroku has built his kingdom
from the destruction of other nations. Their reach has led them to Madara's
remote home town. On Madara's 15th birthday, the journey begins.
===============================================================================
NISO FOREST (WK02)
Items: None
Kirin will approach you in your bedroom and mention that Tatara's not looking
too good. He passed out and has been having nightmares ever since. Kirin will
then take you to Tatara's bedside where the doctor will comment that only a
White Soma will be able to heal Tatara's wound. The nearby villager mentions
that Tatara was shot with a poisonous arrow by a Moki, and comments that it's
too dangerous to take Tatara to nearby Garden Point to get the medicine. The
Doctor will mention that the Moki might even be too much for the town's warrior
Shamon. Kirin will then tell you to go meet with Shamon before heading to
Garden Point to retrieve the White Soma.
You will now have control of Madara and Kirin will be in your party. Speak to
the villager to learn that the Soma Spirit in Garden Point should provide the
White Soma provided the Moki didn't harm it. The small tree nearby is a save
point.
When you are ready, exit the house and explore the town. Note that you will
start the game with 500 Coins. The northwestern most house belongs to Shamon.
Speak to him and he will join your party. One man in the house mentions that
Garden Point is to the east and that Bosho Lobu, a Moki officer is there. The
weapon and item shops will be open so do browse their wares. Many expensive
weapons for sale so you might want to focus on getting some defensive gear or
the Stone Axe for Madara. Note that when buying things, the list price may not
be the actual price you end up paying. You may get a slight difference above
or below the price. Keep that in mind. Also, the inn is free to stay at in
this town. Once you are ready, exit the village.
World Map
Note that you cannot go north due to a barrier. Travel south and then east to
find Garden Point. Note that the game has a season system so as time passes,
the overworld map will change with the seasons. It will even change if you
just stay in one place so it's not timed by movements. Note that the battle
system is extremely unique. Your characters will appear in an overhead view
and do battle with an automatic action system. You can issue commands to your
characters by pressing the A button to stop the action. Your characters will
automatically walk to and target enemies. The commands you can issue are as
follows:
Fight - Normal battle. Character will wander to an enemy and strike it.
Stop - Character will stop and not move until you issue it a command.
Defend - Character will focus on blocking
Run - Attempts to escape from battle
Spirit - Attempts to use Spirit Skills
Shaman - Attempts to use Shaman Skills
Chant - Attempts to use Chant Skills
Item - Uses applicable item
Experience a few battles to get the hang of the system and don't be afraid to
return to town to rest for free at the Inn. This game can be very hard, but
there is no punishment for dying. You won't lose any of your gold like in
most other nes RPGs and you will keep all experience intact. If you'd like to
play around with your battle setup, there is a tactics menu on the menu screen.
Here you can change your individual characters starting formations as well as
set their default battle tactics. One thing to note is that if you issue a
command to a character and the battle ends, the character will still act out
that command in the next fight unless you change it back. You can also
increase the battle speed if things are too slow for your liking. If you
happen to die in battle, you can get revived by speaking to Tatara in his bed.
The Doctor will scold you though.
Continue heading east and you will find Garden Point. It will look like a
reddish lake on the map. Enter it.
===============================================================================
GARDEN POINT (WK03)
Items: Wolf Key
Blue Soma
White Soma
Kusanagi Blade
300 Coins
Battle Gadgets
Sazanami
Travel southeast and you will come upon two Moki's who will be speaking to one
another. Jato questions how Emperor Miroku could order him to kill a kid. He
feels he is being misused. Bosho Lobu will try to calm Jato down, but Jato
will go on about how Tatara is a threat to them but hopefully out of the
picture thanks to his poison arrow. Bosho Lobu mentions that he put a seal on
the White Soma before they disappear back to their fortress. Travel north to
where the chest is and the Soma Spirit will speak to you. You will be told
that he has been sealed by the Moki, and that the only way to break to seal is
to travel north to his fortress and defeat Bosho Lobu. Now exit to the east.
World Map
Travel north and you will come upon the fortress.
Fortress
Head west and speak to the prisoners. Apparently they are being held captive
to be eaten. Open the nearby chest to receive the Wolf Key. Open the door by
walking through it now to release the captives. Head east now and take the
path all the way. Heal up and walk towards Jato who will summon Bosho Lobu to
attack. Jato will then disappear.
Boss Battle - Bosho Lobu and wolfpack x 3
A relatively easy battle. Just ensure Kirin's health is always decent so she
can cast Soma Arts on an ally if their HP goes too low.
Grab the Blue Soma from the chest and return to the World Map.
World Map
Travel south to enter Garden Point again.
Garden Point
Make your way to the Spirit to receive the White Soma. Now we can cure Tatara.
Open the nearby chest to receive some Wine. Exit here and return to Niso
Forest.
Niso Forest
Head home and speak to the Doctor and he will give Tatara the White Soma.
Since Tatara is going to recover, Shamon will leave your party now. Tatara
will tell you that it's time to fight against the Moki. He then asks you to
retrieve a treasure within a small shrine to the southwest.
World Map
Travel southwest and you should come upon the small shrine in the sand. Be
more careful of the enemies now that you only have two party members.
Shrine
Head to the center and the man nearby will request that you take the Kunsanagi
Blade from the chest. Oblige, and ensure you equip it. It has a pretty big
attack boost. Now make your way back to Niso Forest.
Niso Forest
Good thing you were out of town, looks like the place has been attacked. You
will be to so be careful. Make your way home and travel north past your room.
The door that was locked before will now be open. You will now be behind the
house. Follow the short path into the tunnel. You will eventually come upon
Tatara, who reveals that Bosho Roga attacked the village, must be related to
Bosho Lobu. The villagers are apparently safe underground, but Roga is
ransacking the temple in search of something. He then tells you to use the
underground path to sneak in and defeat Roga. Head west and grab the 300 Coins
from the chest before speaking with the frightened folks. If you were to go
northeast you will come upon a house and can speak to a dying villager. Head
northwest though and take the stairs. You will be inside the town temple now.
Engage Roga and you will find out that he is looking for the Kusanagi Blade
that you just received. He will then notice you carry the blade and knows who
you are. You are then attacked.
Boss Battle - Bosho Roga and Wolfpack x 3
Similar battle as before but you will only have two party members. Make sure
to keep Kirin out of Roga's way and perhaps have her defend and pick spots to
attack carefully.
After the battle, all Moki nearby will flee and the town will be back to
normal. You will then hear Jato's voice as he denounces Roga and Lobu as
pitiful in frustration. He then mentions that he will send someone by the
name of Kajura after you. Head south to exit the temple. The townsfolk will
be a little excited over this small victory. One person will mention that a
castle that houses Moki lies to the north of the Rain Tree and that you should
take them out. Speak to Tatara at home and upon hearing the name Kajura, he
will mention that he is one of the eight Moki Generals. He then decides that
it's time to release the barrier on the Rain Tree north of town. Tatara will
then join your party at level 30. Exit town.
World Map
Head north and when you cross the bridge you will be taken to the Rain Tree.
Rain Tree
Continue progressing and Tatara will mention how it's been 15 years
since Emperor Miroku gathered all of the children in the country and
slaughtered them. Somehow Madara was protected and even though Miroku couldn't
kill him. He ordered eight of his Moki to take your true body parts away and
to seal your powers. Madara will finally speak and break the silent
protagonist routine. Tatara will explain that in the two treasure chests
ahead, you'll find your battle gadgets and the Sazanami. He explains that the
Sazanami is a necklace that draws the power out of your battle gadgets before
entrusting them to Kirin. He continues on about how you must use the ancient
treasures of Agartha to defeat the Moki along with Miroku. Right as he's
finished explaining, Jato will appear and pierce Tatara from behind with a
blade before running off. As Tatara lies dying, he implores that you defeat
the Eight Generals to reclaim your powers and bring peace to the world. He
mentions that his spirit will always be with you before passing away. You will
then hear Jato's voice taunting you to cross the river and go to Kajura's
castle.
After all of that, grab the two chests to the north for the Battle Gadgets and
Sazanami. Ensure that Kirin has space in her inventory to pick up the
Sazanami. Save at the tree if you'd like and also note that there is a new
option called Foretell. Currently it will mention that your buddy Shamon is in
a place called Rasen Castle. Note that if one of your characters dies in
battle, a new Healing shop has opened up in Niso Forest where you can remove
curses and revive members for a fee. When you are ready, exit to the north.
World Map
Head north a bit and you will see some rocks on the water leading further
north. Can't head that way due to a barrier so head east to find Kajura's
castle.
===============================================================================
KAJURA'S CASTLE (WK04)
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/66975
Items: 40 Coins
Red Soma x 2
Ear Key
Sahasu Helmet
Bat Key
Iceball Spell
Madara's Real Ears
Poison Fang Spell
Head north and grab the 40 Coins and Red Soma from the chest before taking the
stairs. Don't head west at it leads to a door that you cannot get past just
yet. Head east and you will come upon two sets of stairs. Take the north
stairs to reach the third floor. Head east and follow the path to find three
treasure chests. On the way you will have to do battle with three Yesenma who
can hit pretty hard at this point in the game. Grab the Red Soma, Ear Key, and
Sahasu Helmet from the chest before returning. The Sahasu Helmet is quite the
upgrade from the normal Helmet.
Once you reach the floor below, take the southern stairway to unlock the door
with your newly found and oddly named Ear Key. Speak to the prisoner to learn
that Emperor Miroku has commanded the eight Moki Generals to go after Madara.
Uh oh, that's you. Open the chest to find the Bat Key.
Return to the second floor and this time head west. Go south through the door
and open the chest to have Kirin learn Iceball. This is a magic that will
shoot ice at an enemy for 150M. Be careful now as when you head west, you will
trigger a battle against Kajura.
Boss Battle - Kajura
This will be the first real challenging boss battle of the game and it's quite
a doozy. Kajura can hit for over 150 points of damage so three to four hits
and it could be all over for a character. If Madara dies, it's over. Start by
having Kirin hold in a safe position that is out of reach with Kajura. Have
Madara and Kajura trade blows while having Kirin heal Madara when he is one hit
away from death. Ensure you have lots of Red Somas and Blue Somas to
replenish all the magic that Kirin will be using to heal.
After the battle, Madara will receive back his real ears. Head north to find a
letter in the treasure chest. It's from Hiroku telling Kajura to kill Madara.
Now simply walk into an open black space to exit the castle. The magic barrier
that was blocking the path across the river to the northwest is now gone, but
it's advisable to return to Niso Forest to recharge and replenish some of those
items you used in the previous battle. When you are ready, enter the river
path.
River Path
You'll see someone blocking your path. Engage him and he will mention that he
will rip your balls off. Wow.
Boss Battle - Kosho Banpa and Moken x 2
Banpa can put you to sleep so be careful. He can also hit hard for over 100
points of damage. Play defensively by having Kirin out of the mix by providing
healing support. Exit the path after the battle.
World Map
Note that you can cross the bridge freely now without transitioning into a
different screen and note the music theme will change. Pretty neat. Hope you
are also ready for a steep difficulty curve. There's a cave right in front of
you but don't enter it just yet. Carefully make your way slightly northwest to
come upon a town.
Wind Palace Town
The person near the entrance mentions that everyone in town has apparently gone
crazy. The villagers will apparently think they are dogs. Engage the actual
dogs to do battle with a Moken. Each dog seems to be controlling a townsperson
so after it is defeated, the curse will be lifted. Lift the curse off of
everyone and learn that the Moki went into the Wind Palace and that the Wind
Princess is in danger. Unfortunately, the weapon shop only has the exact same
items that can be found in Niso Forest. The General Store will have some new
items though. The Wind Palace to the north has a room that is locked with a
suspicious looking tile in it. If you go north, you will be mistaken for a
possessed townsfolk and shooed away. Speak to the person at the town entrance
who wasn't possessed to learn that the Princess doesn't talk like that (person
who shooed you away) before wondering where someone named Hakutaku went. Once
you are ready, return to the River path and enter the Cave to the north.
Cave
Enter this small place and make your way to the boss. You will find Hakutaku
behind him.
Boss Battle - Yusenma and Ryurai
Use your Battle Gadgets liberally in this fight and try to protect Kirin.
Afterwards, approach Hakutaku who tells you to visit him in the northern
village. Open the chest to receive the Poison Fang Spell for Kirin.
World Map
Return to the Wind Palace Town by traveling northwest.
Wind Palace Town
The townsfolk will mention seeing Moki enter the Wind Palace. Hakutaku will be
near the entrance of the palace. Speak to him and he will note that there is
something odd about the Wind Princess. He wants you to check it out and then
joins your party.
===============================================================================
WIND PALACE (WK05)
Items: Madara's Real Eyes
Tornado Spell
Kekkaju
Light Kasanagi
Shaolong Chant
Enter the Wind Palace and it will be just like before, the Wind Princess will
be to the north and she will shoo you away. Note that unlike before, the room
that was locked with the suspicious tile is now open. Step on the tile and you
will fall through to the floor below. Head north and you will hear the real
Wind Princesses voice from the nearby capsule. She will request help and
confirm that the one in the Wind Palace is an imposter. Your next boss battle
will begin.
Boss Battle - Onkai Gyoma
Very high HP and he seems to want to target Hakutaku. Keep Madara busy by
using his Battle Gadgets while Kirin worries about healing and Hakutaku uses
Blue Soma's to keep everyone's Magic high.
After the battle, Madara will get back his real eyes. The Wind Princess will
comment that perhaps you are the legendary hero of Agartha and to take the
treasure chest in the next room. She will then disappear. Open the two chests
to the north to receive the Tornado Spell for Kirin, and the Kekkaju. The
Kekkaju will automatically merge with the Kusanagi to create the Light
Kusanagi. Make sure you equip this as it will be two and a half times stronger
than it was before. Great upgrade.
The game will start to open up in regards to being non-linear at this point.
You can travel northwest from the town to reach another town called Seirin. Or
you can travel east past the Cave where you got Hakutaku to reach the village
of Ikaruga. I'm heading to Ikaruga first.
Ikaruga
Try to enter the town during the fall season as there will be extra huts in the
town. There is a healer near the town entrance if you need his services.
Speak to the townsfolk to learn some new information and give you some
direction. The Kingdom of Soma is on an island to the south and the cave that
leads there is blocked by boulders. Apparently there aren't any Moki in Soma
either. The Princess of Soma came from the Kingdom of Horai bringing one of
the orbs of the Orochi tribe with her. The weapon shop will have a different
selection now so you can upgrade some equipment. I'd suggest getting Big Bow's
for Kirin and Hakutaku as well as upgrading all Big Armors for all. The only
negative is that there is no General Store where you can sell your old stuff so
don't be afraid to head back to Niso Forest for that. If you did enter the
town in the fall, there should be four extra huts (grey) that you can enter.
Here you can train your characters (purchase permanent statistical upgrades)
once. You can return each season to purchase more stat upgrades if you like
and can afford it. The northwestern hut will increase characters Vitality,
northeastern will increase Wisdom, the middle hut will be a Martial Arts arena
which will throw you into a random battle. If you win, you will a prize in
coins. The southern hut will be a General Store that provides all kinds of
expensive Somas and suits. You also have the option of saving at the tree to
the west of town. Note that the tunnel beside the town is currently obstructed
if you go exploring.
World Map
Travel slightly east of Ikaruga and then head north between the rocky
mountains. Once you hit what looks like a desert, head west and you should see
a small bump like area on the world map. Enter it and Madara will learn a
Chant called Shaolong. Hakutaku also has this chant that launches a projectile
attack from a distance. It costs 50M to use. Travel southwest while hugging
the mountains and you will eventually make it back to the town with the Wind
Palace. From there, follow the coast to the northwest and enter the village of
Seirin.
===============================================================================
SEIRIN (WK06)
Items: Blue Key
Kasumi Blade
Red Key
Silence Spell
Speak to people to learn that there is a Moki stronghold nearby that keeps
bothering the town. A scary looking man was viewed entering the bar. The
northern villagers are looking to become recruits for the Kongo army under the
rule of a lady named Jamira. Enter the top house to the southwest of town to
enter the town bar. Here you'll learn that someone named Loki is planning to
raid the Moki fortress. Apparently this is fueled by the fact that Loki's
brother was killed by the Shadow Warriors of Shumi who reside in the Moki
fortress. Speak to Loki at the table and he will tell you of his plot before
disappearing. Another patron is concerned for Loki's wellbeing thinking he is
going to get himself killed. You'll also learn more about Jamira, and that she
is quite cold-hearted. The person at the north part of the bar will wonder how
Madara, the Moki hunter, has defeated one of the Eight Generals. Leave the bar
now and Jato will be there as he overheard everything. He mentions that he
will take care of Loki before sicking his minions upon you.
Boss Battle - Shadow
Have Hakutaku chant Shaolong from a distance while Madara comes in close to the
Shadow. Keep a look on Madara's HP and have Kirin heal. Get Kirin to send in
some Iceball or Tornado spells if possible.
Enter the house to the south and you will meet Kaos, the guy who questioned you
at the bar. He seems to have a dislike for Jato more so than his desire to
ensure Loki's safety. You will have the option to recruit him. If you say no,
you will have one more final option to recruit him. Say no and he will
disappear. Recruit him and speak to the townsfolk again to learn that Loki was
kidnapped and taken towards Jamira's fortress by the Moki. Head to the north
part of town again and speak to the guard. He will mention that they are
looking for new recruits and then you are taken to the dungeon.
Jamira's Dungeon
First thing to note is that apparently Jamira is not too fond of Jato. Search
the chest to read a note from Jamira to Kaos basically providing a key so that
he can escape and to deal with Jato. The guards will mention that Jato likes
to boss around the Shadow Warriors of Shumi. Then mention Loki and call him a
poor sucker before leaving. The Blue Key will be in your possession so you can
head south through the door. Head south and note that you cannot go through
the door to the south. Your options will be to east or west. Head east for
now and take the stairs. Grab the Kasumi Blade from the chest and return to
head west. Approach the Shadow and do battle to continue. Afterwards, take
the stairs and proceed to the northeast to do battle with another Shadow. Take
the stairs once that one is defeated and do it all again. This time, when you
defeat the shadow you will receive the Red Key. Follow the linear path and
head through the door to find Jato. He will recognize Kaos and call him a
traitor. Kaos mentions that he may have been a pawn for the Emperor, he
doesn't believe in Jato's cowardly methods. Jato will sick another Shadow upon
you after the verbal exchange. One that is over, Jato will have split and you
can head north to find Loki. Loki will thank you for saving him while Kaos
decides it's time to leave. Jamira questions the motives by Kaos, but he
answers that he hates the Shumi though remains loyal to his Majesty. Kaos and
Jamira will both disappear. Head back to the first floor now and exit to the
south. You will be back in Seirin. Heal up and exit town when ready.
World Map
We are without any real direction at the moment. Travel north from Seirin
through the desert and you will find a small temple near the coast.
Former Temple of Horai
The Moki came and killed the Princess there and only her ghost remains. Enter
the temple and defeat the two Shadows’. This may be challenging because you
are fighting two at once. Afterwards, speak to Kuon, the temple's caretaker.
To show her appreciation, she tells you the way to cross the Wall of Sand. The
gateway through the wall is sealed by an Orb of the Orochi Tribe. Remember in
Ikaruga when you learned that a Princess of Soma came from Horai with an Orb
from the Orochi tribe? Long ago there were seven orbs but many have been lost
to Miroku. The remaining one lies in the Kingdom of Soma. If the seal gets
removed, her soul will finally be able to rest and she can return to the
kingdom of Horai. She will then tell you to visit nearby villages and seek
allies before disappearing. Go outside of the temple and speak to the two
folks again to learn that Jamira is actually the Princess of Soma and serves
Emperor Miroku even though no Moki lurk in Soma. Soma lies south of the Ame
River and east of Niso Forest. You are then told to visit Ikaruga.
World Map
Note that to the northeast of the Former Temple of Horai is an area that you
can access yet through the large Wall of Sand. If you continue to head east
you will come upon some ruins. East of that is a grave site. Open the
treasure chest to receive the Silence Spell for Kirin. You can speak to
Garuman if you want before carrying on with your journey to Ikaruga. Head east
all the way until you hit the shore and then travel south all the way to reach
the town.
Ikaruga
It's advisable to ensure Loki has current gear so purchase whatever he needs
here. Head into the Cave that leads to Soma beside the town.
===============================================================================
CAVE TO SOMA (WK07)
Items: Zio Coin
Red Soma
Orb of the Orochi Tribe
Travel southeast and take the stairs.
Head south and you will find someone who wonders how to get through with the
wall in the way. They will then call Soma people spineless cowards and then
attack.
Boss Battle - Murashoki and Ectoplasm x 3
Not too difficult, but Murashoki can poison your characters.
Afterwards, they will open the blockage and disappear. Continue south and take
either set of stairs to proceed. Continue south and take the stairs to emerge
from the cavern onto the World Map.
World Map
Head south and you will find a cave that is blocked by a magical barrier and a
castle. Enter the castle.
Kingdom of Soma
Speak to people to learn that since the cave is sealed, no Moki can get
through. Well, not anymore I guess since that blockage has been destroyed.
You are advised to ask the King about the Orb of the Orochi tribe. Check out
the weapon shop as well as the tailor shop that sells defensive equipment.
Head into the castle and speak to the people. You will learn that when this
Kingdom sealed off the cave from the outside world, they neglected to do a
head count to see if Jamira was there. Because of this very irresponsible
misunderstanding, Jamira feels betrayed by her homeland and joined forces with
Emperor Miroku. Apparently Jato somehow lured her into a trap so that she
would be sealed away from home. Open the treasure chest to the north to get
the Zio Coin and speak to Romi, Jamira's sister. After asking her for the Orb
of the Orochi tribe, she disappears to retrieve it. Suddenly you will hear a
scream that Moki are everywhere and that Princess Romi has been kidnapped.
According to those nearby, Romi has been taken to the cave to the west.
Soma Cave
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/66977
Enter the cave and you will notice that there's quite a bit of stairwells.
It's not as confusing though as it may look. Make your way to the staircase
that is immediately west of the entrance. Take the Red Soma from the chest and
return to the previous floor. From here, make your way to the southwestern set
of stairs and take them down. Now simply make your way to the northwest part
of the room and you will find Romi being guarded by a monster. Approach it to
do battle.
Boss Battle - Shadow x 2
You've dealt with these guys before.
Approach Romi after the battle and she will give you the Orb of the Orochi
Tribe. She'll even comment that you are stronger than her sister Jamira. The
Royal Family will then appear thanking you and you will then appear in front of
the castle.
Kingdom of Soma
Now that you have the Orb of the Orochi Tribe, the entrance to the Wall of Sand
northeast of the former Temple of Horai will now be open. Instead of heading
there though, let’s take a little detour. East of that on the world map is what
appears to look like some kind of large dead creature. This is actually Noah's
Ark. I wonder who built it?
===============================================================================
NOAH'S ARK (WK08)
Items: Silver Staff
The Ark will be in ruins. Take the left staircase to the second floor and
immediately head west to take the next set of stairs. Be careful not to fall
through to the floor below or else you will have to start over. Head east and
you should see the boss. She will explain that this Ark was built by Agartha
people during the great flood. You will then be attacked.
Boss Battle - Lamia and Kiganseki x 2
This battle is barely a step above a typical random battle at this point.
Travel east now and step on the star shaped tile on the floor. You will then
be given the option to travel to the past. Press the switch and you will be
warped back to the Great Flood era on the Noah's Ark before it fell into ruin.
Speak to people to learn that the Giant Star is the cause of the great flood.
Enter the northern and southern rooms Dragon Quest style to find more people.
In the northern room you will find someone named Jofuku who needs to gather
people who can make it to Horai. Sukune will ask you to help build a village
in the northern mountains. You can also speak to what appears to be a young
Tatara. His goal is to one day build a village and call it Hijura. In the
southern room you will learn that some Agarthans fled the great flood by
burrowing into the earth. Lady Nayuta apparently needs to be saved before the
ship can depart. Noah, the ship’s captain, has been going around trying to
save people while hunting the Moki who have use the flood as a chance to
occupy the Fudaraku continent. Head west and speak to the guy and agree to
head to the island to save Lady Nayuta. You will be told to contact Garuman
(he is the one currently guarding the grave site in the present). Lady Nayuta
is sick and needs to rest in one of the capsules and you need to let Garuman
know. The deserted town will have an inn and a tailor if you need them. Exit
the town and enter the site to the north. This will look exactly like the
grave site in the present. Speak to Garuman and he will mumble something about
wanting a statue of the Golden Goddess for himself. He will then say a few more
things about Lady Nayuta. Go in the northern room and speak to the lady. She
will hop inside the capsule and request that you have Garuman make the
arrangements for transport. Speak to Garuman and he'll get to work but advises
you to stay put... You will then see him transport a capsule before leaving.
Head into the north room once more and you will see Lady Nayuta still inside
her capsule. Apparently Garuman stole the Golden Goddess statue and hid it
inside the other capsule. What an unsavory character. Return to the Ark and
Noah will be grilling Garuman for his actions as he has been caught with the
stolen statue. Lady Nayuta was needed for the war. Garuman shows that he has
no value for human life by mentioning that she is going to die from her illness
anyways, and the money that the statue will bring can help many people. Noah
will then explain how the capsule will keep her alive as it's a cryogenic
chamber. He then goes on and says that Garuman can keep the gold statue, but
will then put a curse on him. Until Lady Nayuta is revived, Garuman will be
unable to die and will be forced to watch over the Lady's capsule after the
flood is over until the day she awakes from her sleep. Speak to the man to the
south and he will mention that only the Silver Staff can awaken Lady Nayuta.
Since Garuman can't be trusted, and since you are from the future, he will
entrust you will the staff. Agree and you will be tasked with returning to
your time and waking Lady Nayuta up. You will then receive the Silver Staff.
Return to the present time now and head to the grave site to the east.
Approach the capsule and an intense light will burst from the Silver Staff.
Nayuta will wake up and recognize you from the past. 3500 years in the past to
be exact. Makes you wonder about Tatara... She will then leave with a goal of
finding out what happened to her people of Agartha. Speak to Garuman and he
will disappear, finally released from his curse. Now that this quest has been
completed, head west and finally enter the wall.
===============================================================================
FLAME CORRIDOR (WK09)
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/66983
Items: Both of Marara's Real Hands
Map of the Abyss
You will instantly be attacked by three Sakyugokma's. Take them out and speak
to the girl to the north. She will mention that this area is called the
Flame Corridors and Seizanpa Sobi of the Eight Moki Generals lives here. After
her warning, she will disappear. Take the western path and follow it all the
way to find three shadows blocking your path. Defeat them and take the stairs.
From here, head west and you will have the option of taking a set of stairs to
the northwest or going east. Head east for now and make your way to the boss.
Boss Battle - Seizanpa Nae
Battles like this are where use of the spell Goriki comes in handy. Make sure
that spell is cast on whoever is getting directly attacked by Nae. This will
prevent him from doing damage until enough hits eventually break the shield.
After the battle, Madara will receive his real hand.
Now make your way to the northwest area and take the stairs.
You will be back on the first floor. Take the southern stairs to reach the
next floor.
Simply make your way east and you will eventually find Seizanpa Sobi.
Boss Battle - Seizanpa Sobi
Ensure Goriki is cast on your fighters and go to town.
Afterwards you will receive both of Madara's hands, but lose his Battle
Gadgets. You will then hear the sound of something crumbling in the distance.
You should notice there is a staircase now beside the statue to the southwest
and you will have to travel around the floor to reach it.
From here, follow the path until your come upon your favorite psychotic bunny.
Jato will be here and when you approach, you will have to do battle with four
Shadows before he retreats. Once the Shadow Warriors of Shumi are defeated,
continue west and you will notice Kaos standing beside Jato. Hmm... As you
approach, Kaos will mention that the time has come at last. Suddenly the ghost
of Kuon will appear and plead with Kaos not to fight. It will be revealed that
Kuon is the sister of Kaos. Kaos, will now realize that he has been duped by
Emperor Miroku. Miroku was supposed to spare Kuon's life as long as Kaos did
what was told of him by the Emperor. Kuon reminds her brother to never forget
that he is the Prince of the Orochi Tribe and to not let himself be used by the
Emperor. Jato will nervously try to sway Kaos back by saying he shouldn't
believe what a ghost has to say before ordering Kaos to attack. Kaos will
ignore the order as he is furious over Miroku's betrayal and vows to kill him.
Jato will call him a traitor before disappearing to report the turn of events
to the Emperor. Kaos will chant a spell that changes the appearance of the
nearby statues and tells you to go ahead as he will follow with Soen and Gufu
and join the rebel army to make Miroku pay. Exit to the north and you will be
back on the world map, on the northern side of the Wall of Sand.
World Map
Travel immediately north to find a town.
Kugutsu
This large village is Kugutsu. Speak to people to learn that the Rain Tree in
Mitama village to the east is withering because of sandstorms. You'll also
learn about the rebel army that was created to destroy Kongo. The rebel
hideout will be guarded by a villager and is located at the very northeast of
town. You will need a Mark of Cain before being allowed inside. The Inns will
now cost 100 Coins to rest and you will finally be able to use the Find Ally
option. This option allows you to switch party members in and out. There is a
catch though. Firstly, an ally must be in the town, if they are not, no dice.
Second, be very careful when you switch allies. The ally you return will have
all of his or her items removed completely from their inventory and if you get
the ally back later on, they won't have the same equipment that you left them
with on. They will more than likely have weaker gear. Anyways, try it out.
Nayuta was available at the inn so I decided to try her out and returned
Hakutaku, because they are both Inishe and have similar spells. There are some
new items in the General Store and Weapon shop too. Once you are ready to
progress, exit town to the world map.
World Map
Rasen Castle lies to the northwest but you cannot enter it at this point. It
also appears to be the rebel army command center. Head southeast from Kugutsu
and follow the Wall of Sand and you will come upon Mitama village.
Mitama Village
The town oasis has dried up and every day the village gets hit with sandstorms.
You are warned of a ferocious Moki that lives in the pyramid and it is
suspected that they are the cause of the sandstorms. The pyramid lies in the
center of the desert and you will require a Map of the Abyss in order to get
inside. You will receive said Abyss Map after speaking to the villager who
tells you about it. After being begged to take care of the Moki in the
pyramid, feel free to leave town. Note that there are some new powerful
equipment for sale and you cannot save in town as the tree is withered from
the sandstorms.
World Map
If you travel north from Mitama village and follow the coast west, you will
eventually come upon a castle that you cannot enter yet due to a locked door.
This castle will have random battles. Head directly west of this castle to
find the pyramid.
===============================================================================
PYRAMID (WK10)
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/66985
Items: Zio Coin
Black Mist Spell
Red Soma
Senri Spell
Thunder Spell
Mark of Cain
Desert Key
Enter the pyramid through the door to the west. Head north to take the stairs.
Head south and then west and take the stairs heading down. Back on the first
floor you can head north to grab the Zio Coin from the chest. Return to the
second floor now and travel east to take the southeastern stairs to the first
floor. Follow the linear path and you will come across two treasure chests.
Open them to receive the Black Mist spell for Kirin and a Red Soma.
Return to the second floor now and take the western staircase that is just
north of the one you took to get the Zio Coin. Follow the path around to grab
the Senri spell from the chest. Good possibility you already know this spell.
Return again to the second floor and this time take the stairs to the
northwest. From here, follow the winding path to the south and take the
stairs.
The fourth floor will begin pretty normal. Follow the path and you should
notice all kinds of staircases upcoming. When the path branches and allows you
to go southeast or northwest, head south east to reach the treasure chest.
Inside will be a Thunder spell for Kirin. Head west now and make it all the
way to the southwest area of the map. There will be two staircases here.
Take the slightly northeastern staircase to reach the top of the Pyramid.
Make your way north and you will reach the boss.
Boss Battle - Hamararyuki
This guy’s not difficult at all as long as you have the Goriki spell active on
your main fighters.
After the battle, simply walk north to fall off of the pyramid and onto the
world map.
World Map
Return now southeast to Mitama village.
Mitama Village
Since the Hamararyuki has been defeated, the sandstorms have calmed and the
oasis has returned. Speak to the character with the yellow bandana near the
town entrance and she will give you the Mark of Cain that you can use to enter
the rebel hideout in Kugutsu. Head now to Kugutsu.
Kugutsu
The villagers will have no information to provide. A female warrior named Agia
is in the rebel army. There are large building size giants being stored in the
army. Choryo Bakko, one of the Eight Generals has a castle in the desert.
Must be that castle that was locked by the pyramid. You will then be provided
the Desert Key by the villager. To the southeast of town some children will be
guarding "Grandpa Moki" and claim that not all Moki's are bad. Head to the
rebel hideout to the northeast of town. You'll meet Agia at the entrance. The
statues Soen and Gufu that Kaos created in the Flame Corridor will be charging
their power in the center of the hideout. The commander of this hideout will
be in the northern room. He will mention that some of the rebels are trapped
in the basement of Choryo Bakko's castle. Looks like that will be your next
quest. Speak to the men beside the two statues to learn that Kaos is the
leader of the rebel army and that the statues are age old legendary Agarthan
statues. A legend stats what when Soen and Gufu revive, the true King will
appear. When you are ready, head back to the Desert Castle.
===============================================================================
DESERT CASTLE (WK11)
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/66990
Items: 210 Coins
Hypnotize Spell
Yellow Soma x 3
Green Soma
Blue Soma
Fudaraku Armor
Johaku Spell
Kanraihu Spell
Big Bow
Zio Coin
Cobra Fang
330 Coins
Flame Wall Spell
In case you forgot, the castle is directly to the east of the pyramid. There's
also a good chance you will get poisoned in this area to stock up on Yellow
Somas. From the entrance, head north and go through the door. Head east and
grab the 210 Coins from the chest. Head west now and you will find a staircase
with a chest. Ignore that and head south to find a treasure chest containing
the Hypnotize spell. Now head north and grab the Yellow Soma from the chest
before taking the stairs to the second floor.
Grab another Yellow Soma from the chest and head south. Another chest will
have a Green Soma. Continue south and take the stairs to the third floor to
grab another Yellow Soma from the chest before turning to the second floor.
Now head southeast and you will find another chest that contains a Blue Soma.
Now make your way to the northeast to find two treasure chests by a staircase.
Inside will be the Fudaraku Armor and Johaku spell. This spell is extremely
valuable. Using it on your characters will prevent them from receiving status
ailments for a while. From here, make your way to the northeastern part of the
room to find a staircase. Take it to the third floor and travel all the way
west to find the Kanraihu spell. Return to the previous floor now and make
your way to the center of the room which will have two staircases. One going
up and one going down. Take the stairs up to the third floor again and you
will now be in the center of the floor. Travel south and then west to grab the
Big Bow from the chest before heading east. Walk across the water now and make
your way west to reach the stairs that will take you to the fourth floor.
This floor will be wide open. You cannot currently take the staircase to the
southwest as it will be too damaged to use. Head northwest and take the stairs
to reach a room with four treasure chests. Raid the chests to receive a Zio
Coin, Cobra Fang, 330 Coins, and the Flame Wall spell. Return now and travel
all the way east to take another staircase. The great Seishinja will be here
complaining about being thrown in prison and mentions that you need to acquire
a spell from Agia before taking on Choryo Bakko. Seishinja will then leave in
an attempt to fight Choryo. Return and head south now. You will come upon two
staircases, one leading up and the other leading down. Take the staircase that
leads down and follow the next few staircases to reach the basement.
There will be two people in the basement. Speak to them and they will be
rescued. Agia will be in red clothing. Speak to her and she will teach you
the spell to unlock Choryo Bakko's chamber. Note that it appears Agia is a
trigger to activate entry into the chamber as you don't actually learn any
spell in the menu.
Return to the wide open fourth floor now and head west to reach the
southwestern staircase. Step on it and you will cast Agia's spell and proceed
to the next floor. In the throne room, Seishinja will be squaring off with
Choryo Bakko but Choryo Bakko will suddenly vanish when Seishinja lifts his
sword. Speak to Seishinja and he will take off after him. Well, we've saved
the prisoners so let’s head back to Kugutsu.
Kugutsu
When you enter town, you should notice that something isn't right. The music
will clue you in as well. Apparently Soen and Gufu have destroyed the village.
You won't be allowed to enter any shops either except for Reviving or removing
ailments. If you save your game and use the foretell option, you will see that
Seishinja will be a new character you can recruit. He will be in Rasen castle
along with your old buddy Shamon. Enter the rebel base to learn that Choryo
Bakko plans to attack the Rasen castle rebel fortress using the stolen statues.
You are asked to inform Kaos if you speak with the commander. Before heading
off for Rasen Castle, you should notice that grandpa Moki that the children
were protecting will be alone. Speak to him to learn that he is really a spy
for Choryo Bakko before attacking you.
Boss Battle - Acepack
Very simple battle that shouldn't cause you any trouble. Most random battles
will probably cause you more concern than him.
Acepack leaves an arrogant message before he dies about your rebel friends.
Well, looks like the kids were wrong about this guy. When you are ready, make
your way northwest to reach Rasen Castle.
===============================================================================
RASEN CASTLE (WK12)
Items: Shuntenhu Spell
480 Coins
20 Coins x 2
Gold Beetle
Sijyura Shield x 2
Brown Soma
Spear
Madara's Real Legs
180 Coins
White Soma
Long Spear
Make sure it's winter before you enter Rasen Castle so have access to the huts
that you may have spotted way back at Ikaruga. Speak to people to learn that
Jamira is being held hostage here and that you need permission from Jofuku to
see her. Jofuku is a name from the past in Noah's Ark. He was the person who
wanted to gather people to make it to Horai. Hmm... If you go to the inn and
use the find ally feature, you will finally be able to get Shamon or even
Seishinja into your party. A bard in one of the buildings will tell you the
Legend of the True King. A brave warrior, neither man nor god, will cleanse
the land of eight foul demons. When their star appears in the sky, the True
King will defeat the mother of all demons bringing peace to the land. You will
find Agia in the western hut. After hearing that Kugutsu was sacked, she vows
to never forgive the Kingdom of Kongo for this. Anyways, Jofuku is on the
third floor of the castle. You can enter the castle by taking one of the
staircases scattered about the town.
The soldiers will be out on a training mission so the barracks will be empty.
Take the southeastern staircase up to the third floor to find a small room with
four chests. Open them to receive the Shuntenhu spell, 480 Coins, 20 Coins and
a Gold Beetle. The Shuntenhu spell will instantly change the season on the
world map. Return to the second floor barracks and take the southwester stairs
up to the third floor. Speak to the commanding officer Jofuku and he will
mention that Kaos is on his way to the east tower. After learning that Choryo
Bakko stole Soen and Gofu he implores you to tell Kaos immediately.
Return to the town and the person that was guarding the staircase will be gone.
Take the stairs and you will come upon Kaos and Jamira. Kaos is helping
Jamira tend to the wounds she suffered in the Flame Corridor. Approach them
and you will overhear them speak. Kaos will be trying to get information from
Jamira. You will hear an explosion outside and Kaos will realize it came from
Soen and Gufu. Jamira will wonder why Choryo Bakko would attack knowing that
she is held prisoner here. Kaos tells her that this is the way the Kingdom of
Kongo operates with no regard for their own. You can speak to both Kaos and
Jamira before leaving. You can grab Kaos from the inn if you'd like him to
take part in the next task. Exit town and head southeast and you will find the
two giant statues. You can enter the left or right statue and they both have
the same layout but they are different.
Left Statue
You can take either the east or west staircase as the paths will come together
a couple of floors up. Once the paths merge, the next stairwell will have some
damage tiles in front that you are forced to go over. Carry on and you will
have the option to take staircases down from both sides of the room if you'd
like. These lead to the statues hands which you can fall off of and have to
start all over. Continue climbing the stairs and you will make it to Jato. He
will mock you knowing that you are searching for Choryo Bakko since he's not in
this statue before disappearing. Open the treasure chests to get the Sukyura
Shield, 20 Coins, Brown Soma and Spear. Take the stairs down to find one of
the hands and hop off the statue. You should notice the statues are coming
closer to the castle.
Right Statue
Exact same layout here. When you reach the top though you will find Choryo
Bakko.
Boss Battle - Choryo Bakko
As usual, ensure Goriki is used. Thunder and Flame Wall do some pretty good
magical damage if you are sick of melee fighting.
Afterwards, Soen and Gufu will stop moving and Madara will recover his real
legs. Open the chests to receive the Sukyura Shield, 180 Coins, White Soma,
and Long Spear. The White Soma is very valuable as that can recover dead
allies.
Hop off the statues and you will see how close they came to reaching the
castle. Head back into town for now.
Rasen Castle
Make your way to Jofuku on the third floor as it appears that Jamira has gone
missing. Jofuku will simply ask you to look around for Jamira. Head back to
where she was being held captive, the person there will mention that Jamira
left a letter on her desk. Approach the desk from the west side facing east
and search. Jamira will realize that the Kingdom of Kongo is the enemy and
decides to become a guerilla and to look her up. Report back to Jofuku and he
will let you know a new bridge has been built to the north so you can carry on
with the adventure.
World Map
Now were talking. If you like to explore, this is for you. The game opens up
quite a bit here as there is a large landmass to travel. You can pretty much
travel in all directions and find some towns and various things to do.
Anyways, travel slightly northwest to find a town. If you find yourself
walking in the desert you've gone too far.
===============================================================================
XIFANG (WK13)
Items: Shanglong Chant
Enter town in the spring to have access to those seasonal shops that appear.
Speak to the townsfolk and you should learn about a Hijuran town in the desert
that was wrecked by sandstorms that had a special tree. You'll also learn
about another tree deep in the forest as well as a Hijuran village. There are
some new equipment in the weapon shop but more importantly, all your characters
should be at the inn, including Jamira.
World Map
Exit Xifang for now and be careful regarding status ailments from random
battles now. Many enemies can cause Lure and Blind which requires Purple and
Brown Somas to cure. Head exactly northwest from Xifang and you will find the
Hijuran town that was wrecked by sandstorms. The special tree is still there
so you can save your game if you'd like. Note that you cannot travel west as
an invisible barrier will prevent you from proceeding. Travel north from this
wrecked town and you will eventually come upon a shrine in the desert. Enter
it to learn the Shanglong chant. From here make your way east out of the
desert but close to the northern rocky mountains. You will eventually come
upon dual cities surrounded by water. Enter the western city.
===============================================================================
GUARO AND BURO (WK14)
Items: Pond Key
Mahni Flame
Blessed Salt
This is the village of Guaro. Apparently the chief’s son has gone missing.
This town also seems competitive with their sister town Buro. You are tasked
with finding the missing boy. Perhaps a clue lies in Buro? You'll also learn
of a Hijuran man who knows a lot about the forest deep in the woods. You don't
have to exit town to reach Buro, simply go to the eastern side as this town is
divided. The Chief of Buro's daughter has also happened to go missing. His
wife offers you some Blessed Salt if you can return her. The small child near
the southern would be border of the two towns will mention that she saw a guy
and girl getting together secretly in the small island in town, she even gives
you the key to access it. With your new Pond Key, enter the hut. Travel north
and you will enter a small dungeon.
Follow the linear path and take the staircases and you will eventually come
upon the two missing lovebirds. One problem though, they are trapped by a
Shadow. Defeat it and speak to the couple to learn that they are in love even
though their families don't approve. They tell you to go on ahead, but not
before grabbing the Mahni Flame from the chest. As you try to leave, you will
find a familiar evil bunny standing in your way. Jato will sick some more of
his Shadow Warriors upon you. Defeat three of them and exit out of the area to
the town as Jato will have disappeared.
Back in town you should notice that people are celebrating. Apparently the two
towns have put their differences aside and merged to become the town of Uro.
Speak to the daughter’s father on the east side of Uro to receive the Blessed
Salt. The father of the son will mention an old man teaching spells in the
desert, referring to the man who provided the Shanglong spell. Exit now to the
world map.
World Map
There's quite a few places you could go now but whatever you do, don't enter
the lone tree to the south of Uno or else you will lose Madara for a while and
have to rely on three characters until you get him back. Instead, head
slightly northeast from this lone tree to find the free Hijuran nation, Shinra.
===============================================================================
SHINRA AND THE HAUNTED HOUSE (WK15)
Items: Crystal Powder
Speak to people to learn about a haunted house and Shaolin who acts as a
watchman of the forest. Apparently the ghost that is haunting the southeastern
house is the wife of someone named Chifun. Speak to the man in the
southwestern house and he will explain that in order to bring life back to
trees, you need two items. The subterranean Crystal Powder, and Blessed Salt
of the lake. Looks like we have one of those items but so far no tree to
resurrect. Enter the haunted house now and you will hear shrieks coming from a
hole in the northeastern wall. Attempt to inspect this hole and you will fall
through to a dungeon below.
Haunted House Basement
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/66993
Head west and make your way south. Be careful of some of the tiles in this
area. The red arrowed tiles will take 20 HP's away every time you step on them
while the purple blob like tiles will poison your party. There are two people
to the west, one of whom is Chifun. Speak to them and they will mention
crystal deposits. Head south from them and then make your way east to a large
area. Hug the western wall and travel north and you will automatically find
some Crystal Powder. Make your way south and then west now to exit this area.
Pretty strange for a haunted house, we heard screams yet there was no ghost.
===============================================================================
LONE TREE (WK16)
Items: Gedatsu Spell
Tao Braid
You will now be at the lone tree that I warned you about before. When you are
ready, approach the man at the base of the tree. He will introduce himself as
Kageo Madara and has been waiting for Madara. He has summoned a dark barrier
that you will be unable to escape from and then attacks.
Boss Battle - Kageo Madara
This is one of those battles that you cannot win. Kageo Madara will cast a
spell that will hit Madara and cause him to lose control of his Chakra.
Afterwards, Madara and Kageo Madara will be missing. The Lone Tree area will
be completely destroyed. Now you know the reason for gathering the Crystal
Powder and Blessed Salt. It's to bring life back to this tree. Head west from
the stump and the two items will automatically revive the dead tree. You will
now have three party members only for a while. Using the find ally option will
not give you a fourth. Take a step east from where you had the two items
combined and you will be able to enter the tree.
Lone Tree Resurrected
You will have to climb this tree to get to the top by walking on the vines and
using passages within the tree. Take the western vine and follow it up all the
way. You will reach the top and have the option to go into the tree, or head
south to go into the tree. Head into the tree from the top to find a treasure
chest containing the Gedatsu spell. Depending on your characters, you may have
no one in your party who can receive this spell so don't worry too much as it
can be claimed later. Take the southern path now and pass through the tree.
Follow the vines and you will enter another part of the tree. Take the stairs
to reach the top.
This area will have four towers and a huge empty space in the middle. Like
with the vine climbing expedition, there will be no random battles here. The
goal is to climb the mini towers and open all four treasure chests. All four
chests will be empty, but once you completely open all four, the center area
will now have a staircase.
Take the stairs and follow the path to meet an elderly man who escaped the Moki
and came here to what's called the Ruins of Agartha. He's an astrologer from
the Ugayan Kingdom and has been reading the stars. One star in particular
seems to be aligned with Miroku and his army. Another star tells of a young
man with a mysterious power to the north. You need to pass through the
waterfall in the northern mountains to reach him in a village called Ryosan.
This is obviously about Madara, so it's good to know he's not dead. Grab the
Tao Braid from the treasure chest before exiting the tree entirely and
appearing back on the world map.
World Map
Head east from the Lone Tree and make your way to the eastern coast. You
should see a new town on the coast, you may have to go slightly north. Enter
it.
===============================================================================
BODAI (WK17)
Items: Pale Soma
Speak to the lady near the town entrance to learn right off the bat that this
town has a boat. Speak to people to learn about a sailor named Wadatsumi who
always speaks of Ryosan to the north. The grey house has a chest containing a
Pale Soma. One guy warns you to beware of who you hire. You have the option
of hiring Ushio for 400 Coins, Shiotsuchi for 300 Coins or Wadatsumi. The
first two are a scam as they will take your money but once they hit the
waterfall, they will head back, Wadatsumi will notice your Tao Braid and
mention that his ship can move with it and in exchange, you can ride for free
to Ryosan. Once you hit the waterfall though, you will have to travel the rest
of the way on foot.
Waterfall
Head north into the cavern and the next area will be very maze like. To reach
the end, head north, west, west and west again to reach the stairs. You will
now enter Ryosan to the north.
===============================================================================
RYOSAN (WK18)
Items: Shomei Spell
Red Soma
Bishmon Armor
Madara's Real Heart
Speak to people to learn about the Town Chief Sukune who lives on the edge of
town with his adopted daughter Himika. Remember Sukune from Noah's Ark? He's
the man who wanted you to help him build a town. An old man at the center of
town will mention that Madara has been living at Sukune's place for around two
years now. Strange... Apparently Madara was found passed out by the waterfall
two years ago. Sukune's brother is Tatara apparently. Hmm... If Seishinja is
in your party, one of the townsfolk will comment that Himika is his sister and
that they have been worried about him. You can meet Wadatsumi's fiancé in one
of the houses along with someone who is searching for the legendary Dark
Kusanagi. He will pay any price for it. Enter the Chief's house to the east
and he'll recognize Seishinja if he's in the party. He mentions that Madara is
sleeping in the basement. You can speak to Himika if you'd like as she
mentions that she is a Shaman and can help you. Speak to Madara in the
basement and he'll complain about being dragged back into battle and then says
you have to catch him first before taking off. He thinks he's a Pokémon. Head
upstairs to find him. He will mention that his body is in perfect health and
that he doesn't want to fight anymore. He will then take off once again. Head
upstairs now and Madara will explain that life here is just like life in Niso
Forest where he can escape all his painful memories. He will run off again.
Return to the basement and Madara will tell you to leave him alone. Looks like
he is content on staying. Speak to Sukune again and he mentions that if you go
through the waterfall at the north end of the village and find the Dark
Kusanagi, Madara's chakra will be restored and he will no longer fear battle.
Himiki will tease you if you speak with her. Looks like we have to save
Madara. Return to the town entrance but this time take one step west of where
you entered. There is a path along the other wall. Follow it north and then
east to enter the waterfall.
Ryosan Waterfall
No random battles here. The northwest chest has a Shomei spell, southwest
chest has a Red soma and the southeast chest has a Bishmon Armor. Take the
stairs to the south and you will be near the waterfall. Take any of the
available passages north (except the one you came from) and you will find Kageo
Madara with the Dark Kusanagi. He will notice the party and then disappear
with the blade. Exit the waterfall cave now and the real Madara will be
waiting for you. Apparently all of the townsfolk have turned into Moki!
Madara regains his will to fight but then Kirin will run off over concern with
Sukune. Chase after her towards Sukune's house and you should notice the Moki
in the town. Don't bother fighting them as it's a waste of time. Enter the
northeastern house and you will be advised to head upstairs as Kageo Madara
will be attempting to kidnap Kirin. Upstairs you will find that Kageo Madara's
plan is to overthrow Miroku by using the Dark Kusanagi and Kirin. He will then
summon Chohito Gairen, one of the Eight Generals to attack you before
disappearing with Kirin. Note that even though Madara has returned to your
party, he will not be equipped with the stuff you purchased for him just like
as if you summoned him from an inn.
Boss Battle - Chohito Gairen
Another simple battle provided you have Goriki protection. Chohito can hit you
with some powerful spells if you're not careful.
Afterwards, the villagers will return to normal and Kirin will be sealed in the
Dark Castle. Madara will then receive his real heart back. Head downstairs
and after thanking you, Himika will mention that she will be available for
recruitment at the inn. Sukune will advise you to travel south to save Kirin.
The villagers outside will mention that no one has made it back alive from the
Dark Castle to the south. The Dark Castle is home to the whole Moki army as
well as the Eight Generals. The Dark Castle is apparently a maze of warp
points if you speak to the person who wanted to purchase the Dark Kusanagi.
When you are ready, exit the town to the south as the locked door will be
removed.
World Map
You won't be able to travel north, so head south all the way to find the Dark
Castle.
===============================================================================
DARK CASTLE (WK19)
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/66999
Items: Blue Soma x 6
Red Soma x 3
350 Coins
310 Coins
Knife
Illusion Spell
Hail Spell
620 Coins
Sword
160 Coins
370 Coins
Calm Flute
810 Coins
Enkai Spell
Madara's Real Throat and Voice
This castle will be extremely long and perhaps very difficult if you are not
prepared. Make sure you bring lots of Brown Somas to cure Blind, Yellow Somas
to cure Poison and perhaps a Purple Soma or two to cure Lure. You will be
affected by some of these ailments throughout the trip here. Also don't be
afraid to exit the castle and return to town to restock as you may need to take
multiple trips. Casting Goriki is pretty much a must here. Ensure all allies
have it activated at all times as you will really feel the lack of a fourth
character here. This castle is one large maze with warp tiles scattered all
over the place and twenty one treasure chests. I will walk you through the
more efficient path to grab all the treasures while still creating the shortest
way to the boss.
On the first floor there are six treasure chests though so let’s clear them out
first. Grab the Blue Soma from the chest west of the entrance. Now make your
way north of this chest to find another containing a Red Soma. Now make your
way to the northwest corner of the room to grab another Red Soma from the
treasure chest. The last three chests are in the northeastern part of the
room. Make your way there to grab the 350 Coins, 310 Coins and Knife from the
chests.
Now that the first floor treasures are gathered, return back to the entrance
and you should see a warp tile to the east, take it. Head east and grab the
Illusion Spell from the chest before taking the nearby warp. Grab the Blue
Soma from the northern chest before heading west. Take the southern warp and
you will be back at the northern part of the first floor.
Now make your way southeast and you should see a warp tile against the eastern
wall. Take it and you will be on a large red screen. Head north now and you
will be wrapping yourself around the area as the path will take you west. You
will eventually come upon two treasure chests and another warp tile. Ignore
the warp tile and open the chests to receive the Hail Spell and 620 Coins. The
Hail Spell is very powerful as it attacks all enemies on screen. From the
chests, head south and make your way back east. You will eventually see a
chest to the north. Open it to receive a Blue Soma. Head west from this chest
and you will eventually find a northern warp tile.
After stepping on the tile, grab the treasure chest to your west for a Red Soma
and continue west and then north to reach another warp tile. Take it and grab
the Blue Soma from the chest before taking the northern warp. Grab the lone
chest to receive the Sword before returning back two warps.
Now make your way north and then east to find a chest containing a Red Soma.
Take the warp beside the chest and you will be back at the red area but on the
inside of the border now. From here, head east to reach the chest with the Red
Soma and continue east to take the warp. Head north and open the chest for 160
Coins. Now back track and return to the red area. Make your way west and you
will come upon another chest. It will house 370 Coins. Now make your way to
the warp tile directly south of the chest.
Follow the path and take the next warp tile. You will now be in the top floor.
Make your way south to find two chests. Open them to receive the Calm Flute
and 810 Coins. Return now to the red area once again and this time make your
way to the warp point to the south. Take it and grab the Enkai Spell from the
chest before taking the next warp.
You will once again be on the top floor but this time you can make your way to
the boss since you've gathered all of the treasures. Whew. The path is linear
and you will eventually come to Kageo Madara with Kirin. Kageo Madara will
challenge you to follow him if you want Kirin back, but first wants you to take
a test. He will then summon General Yoen Koboisu before leaping into the hole.
Boss Battle - Yoen Koboisu
The usual battle with the Generals, don't be afraid to return to town if you
are low on supplies.
Afterwards Madara will receive his real throat and voice. Now to progress you
must jump into the same hole that Kageo Madara did. You may need to return
back to town though for supplies. When you are ready, jump into the hole.
Dark Castle Hole
Head south and you'll see what appears to be Kirin. He will mention that he is
being held in the room above before disappearing. Take the stairs and head
north to find Kirin sleeping. Approach him and he will thank you and rejoin
your party. Kageo Madara's voice will be heard gloating that he still has the
Dark Kusanagi and that Madara's Light Kusanagi will never reach its full
potential if it's not fused with the Dark Blade. He will also tell you that
all Eight Generals that you defeated have been revived at Fort Egon before
challenging you not to be late.
Now that Kirin’s back in your party, you have four members once again. He will
have very crappy equipment though so you will need to outfit him as soon as
possible. Now you have to leave this place. Head north and there will be two
staircases. One to the west and one to the east. Whatever you do, do not
take the western stairs unless you want to travel through the Dark Castle again
as you will appear on the World Map just below the Dark Castle with no way of
returning here. Take the northeastern stairs to exit onto the World Map.
===============================================================================
ROYAN (WK20)
Items: None
Enter the town right beside where you exited from. This is the small village
of Royan. Speak to the townsfolk to learn that some Hijurans took up
residence to the east of this village. A strange star can be viewed during
night time. A famous thief named Fanleng went to explore a tomb to the
southeast but never returned. This tomb dates back to the Ugayan Dynasty and
has many pitfalls and treasures. You should have lots of money right now so
take the time to visit the shops and gear up your characters again. You can
also meet Emishi in the northeastern house who will tell you a story about a
book called the Psalm of Nine Dragons. It will explain how to defeat the Eight
Moki Generals but was sealed in a tomb. Emishi can read it if it's found.
Alrighty, looks like our next destination is to find that tomb to the
southeast.
World Map
There is a large area to explore here. To the far south is a castle that has a
barrier around it preventing you from going in. East of Royan is a tunnel and
you will find the Tomb area north of the castle and southeast of Royan
surrounded by water. If you wish to be bold, you can travel very far to the
southeast to find some other towns and area as the world map is extremely open
now but the enemies get really strong. Enter the tomb when you are ready.
===============================================================================
TOMB (WK21)
Items: Psalm of Nine
Brahman Eye
Rations
Make your way to the northeast staircase. There's nothing to explore in this
large room so make your way north and fall through the hole in the ground to
the floor below. Head towards the tomb in the middle of the room and the
monster will attack.
Boss Battle - Magyohyakuki
Pretty much a typical random encounter enemy. Nothing to worry about.
Once you defeat him, you will receive the book the Psalm of Nine. This is the
book that Emishi was speaking of, now to return to him... Head southeast now
and you will see something that you haven't seen in a long time. A time warp
tile from Noah's Ark! Step on the tile and you will warp to the past.
Now make your way west and you will find Fanleng, the famous thief, battling
with Magyohyakuki over the Psalm of Nine Dragons book. The monster apparently
uses the book as a pillow. The monster will win the struggle and rip the book
out of the thief’s hands before sealing himself in the coffin. Fanleng will
notice the party and be astonished that somehow you have the book. He will
then swipe the book from the party and retreat up the nearby stairs. You will
then hear the sound of him falling through the stairs. Follow him up the
stairs but don't step on the tile travel device to the south just yet. Head
northeast and grab the Brahman Eye and Agartha Robe from the chests. Very
important not to drop or sell the Brahman Eye as it will make a future area a
lot more easy to navigate if you still possess it.
Ignore the stairs to the north as they will lead you outside, if you try to
leave, you'll find that the tomb is surrounded by the water in the past so you
can't go anywhere. Return to the time travel warp and head back to the future
to present time.
Now make your way northeast and fall through the hole once again. Now don't be
alarmed, as you wander around you may think that you are stuck with no way to
get out. Make your way to the western corner, past the coffin and if you step
on the northwestern most tile you will notice a device in the floor before
falling through. After you fall, you'll notice Fanlengs bones as he apparently
never made it out of here in the past. You will then automatically take the
book once more. Head west to exit and follow the path to finally exit this
place and land on the world map. Now make your way back to Royan to the
northwest so we can decipher this book.
Royan
Speak to Emishi in his northeastern house and he will start to read the book.
The Eight Moki Generals came to earth from the Wicked Star. Kukai, the great
Sage of the Inishe created a Shadow Pot to seal them away. Kukai was betrayed
and killed while his disciples fled with the Shadow Pot. The Pot now lies in a
temple south of Mount Shumi. The pot will be able to seal away the Moki for
good. Speak to Emishi again and he will mention that you need to find a ship
from the area south of Mount Shumi. For now, head east so we can explore the
tunnel.
Tunnel
You will be informed that a horrible monster is blocking the tunnel and you
will see it in the center along with Jato. As you engage the monster, Jato
will tell you not to defy Miroku and to learn your place. You are then
attacked.
Boss Battle - Rokjakyo
Another simple battle
Jato will be upset with your constant pestering before disappearing. Grab the
Rations from the southwestern chest before exiting out to the east. You will
now be on the opposite side of the mountains. Enter the small village to the
east.
===============================================================================
SNOW VILLAGE (WK22)
Items: Enlong Chant
Seikanhu Spell
Tied Spell
Everyone will be mentioning that the Rations are late. Looks like Jato had the
monster in the cave to cut off the towns food supply. Enter the southeastern
house and you will give the man the Rations to save the townsfolk from hunger.
He then asks you to head to the northeastern cave to defeat Maakusuira who is a
horrible monster. Okay, let’s go monster slaying.
World Map
Like you were advised, the cave is northeast from the village. Let’s take a
detour though, and keep traveling all the way east while following the
mountains. Eventually you will come to a small drop of water by the mountains.
Enter it to find the Spring of the Moon. Inside a man will teach Madara the
Enlong Chant.
Maakusuira's Cave
This is a very short cave. The treasure chest to the northeast has the
Seikanhu spell for an Inishe character. The southwestern chests contains the
Tied Spell for Kirin. Make your way southeast and Jato will be there with
Maakusuira. Jato is getting really annoyed with you always meddling in his
affairs. He will then sick three Shadows on you. After beating them, the real
battle begins.
Boss Battle - Maakusuira
He can use magic attacks that hit the whole party.
After the battle, Jato will have disappeared again so return to the village.
Snow Village
Speak to the man in the southeastern house and he will be thankful for saving
the village, but offer no reward. Make your way back through the tunnel to the
Royan area.
World Map
Now let’s make your way southeast while hugging the mountains that the tunnel
was on. When you reach the end of the mountains, notice in the northeast area
there is a small spot you can squeeze through. You can enter this area to
reach the town that has access to a boat, but let’s continue southeast for now.
Eventually you'll find an area with two towns. The eastern town won't let you
in unless you have a signed Permit so for now enter the western town. Make
sure it's summer time and you will have access to those seasonal shops.
===============================================================================
KAIRYU TOWN (WK23)
Items: Signed Permit
Champ Medal
Shield x 2
Voodoo Spell
Ashura Spell
Armor
Kasumi Blade
Shiba Bow
Mizumitama Spear
Peg Leg
Try not to enter the town during the summer to get the full effect of the story
you are about to experience. You should be able to recruit some allies from
the inn here too. Apparently every summer, this town has to sacrifice one
female in order to receive protection from the Kairyu. Enter the southwestern
house to meet next summer’s sacrifice. Exit the town and enter it once summer
time comes. The seasonal shops will be here in the summer and the sacrifice
set up will be in the center of town. Speak to the father of the girl to be
sacrificed and he will beg you to confront the Kairyu about sacrificing his
daughter. Agree to it and you will automatically end up a bit south of the
town pier in front of a cave.
Make your way to the demon to engage in battle.
Boss Battle - Kairyu
Same as any other battle.
Once you defeat the dragon, you will be warped back to the house of the family
that was to sacrifice their daughter. Speak to the daughter and she will be so
overjoyed that she will ask Madara for marriage. Interesting banter from Kirin
if you say yes... Speak to the father and he will give you a Signed Permit to
allow you entry into the eastern fort. Make your way there now.
Eastern Fort
Speak to the townsfolk to learn that Kageo Madara is the Moki's new Chief.
Various townsfolk speak of a tournament held in town where you have to fight a
Moki. Speak to the man in blue at the southwest part of town and he will
mention that you can catch a ship to Horai Island from a port to the north and
that their price is insane. If you have a Peg Leg though, you can sail for
free. The fee for the trip is 3000 Coins and he will try to sell his Peg Leg
for 10000 Coins. He will state that he isn't trying to scam you though..
There's a Moki fortress to the northwest of town. Test your strength in the
tournament to the south to do battle with some monsters. You will receive the
Champ Medal for being victorious.
Enter the Moki Fortress now. If you don't have the Champ Medal, you will have
to beat up the guards. Once inside, grab all the loot to receive two Shields,
Voodoo Spell for Kirin, Ashura Spell, Armor and Kasumi Blade. Take the stairs
now to the second floor.
Open the chests to receive the cursed Shiba Bow and Mizumitama Spear. The
Mizumitama Spear is an excellent weapon for a fighter. Make your way south to
Ryuchoja, the Moki commander. He will ask if you'd like to join. Saying yes
will cause Kageo Madara to appear and scold Ryuchoja for allowing the enemy
into the group. Either way, you will be attacked.
Boss Battle - Ryuchoja
Same as usual. Ensure you are buffed and heal when necessary. He does have a
lightning attack which can hit the whole party for around 500 points of damage.
In town now everyone will be thankful for dealing with the Moki. One guy even
asks if you are Kaos, who has the reputation of ridding the towns of Moki.
Make sure you purchase that Peg Leg from the man for 10000 Coins. It will
allow you free use of the boat from the southern pier instead of having to pay
3000 Coins from a pier to the north. You can leave town now though and head
north to reach that northern port town. Make sure you buy some of the more
expensive weapons in the weapon shop before you leave. Some incredibly
powerful weapons are for sale.
===============================================================================
SAILING THE OCEAN (WK24)
Items: None
Now the fun begins. Note that you will not be randomly attacked while sailing
and that you can only get off on towns/castles that are touching the sea as
they will have a port. You can pretty much travel anywhere but there are areas
where you will get a message that you cannot proceed. From the Eastern Port
town, head north all the way while hugging the coast. You'll see an island
with a town but ignore that for now while still hugging the coast and enter
the harbor of the town to the west of the island. You could have visited this
town before taking on Kairyu Town and the Eastern Fort.
Port Town
If you've tried to enter this town before you would have to defeat someone at
the town entrance. If you speak to him now, if you possess the Champ Medal, he
will suck up to you and offer respect. Everyone here seems to be praising
Kaos and his army for making the town safe. Kaos will be in the southwest
corner if you wish to speak with him. He will remain in town for a while. Not
sure what happens if he was in your party. Perhaps an event would force him
out in an early scenario. Anyways, when you are ready, exit here on your boat
to the east.
World Map
Simply travel east until you find a small island with a town and a cave.
===============================================================================
HORAI ISLAND (WK25)
Items: Rinnehu Spell
Speak to the townsfolk to learn that an incredible charm lies somewhere on this
island and a legendary wizard once lived in the eastern mountains. The three
men at the southern part of town will tell you to travel south to find what you
seek, a shimmering spring lies to the east of a frozen country and there is
something near the spring, and that your future is stained by darkness. All of
your allies should be available for you at the inn. Rest up and exit town to
take on that cave.
Horai Island Cave
Very simple cave, simply travel south to reach the treasure chest containing
the Rinnehu spell. This is an extremely valuable spell for Inishe characters
as it has the ability to revive a fallen character. Note that it does require
500M points, but it's a lot better than losing a character and having to back
track at an inn to get them back. Exit the cave and return to your boat.
World Map
Take the advice from one of the men in the town and travel all the way south
from Horai Island. You should eventually come across a land mass with many
trees. You should eventually find the town of Shinpo. Enter it.
Shinpo
Speak to people to learn about Kare Forest and an old castle that lies on the
other side of the forest. Mysterious things have been happening in Hijuran
villages lately and some Hijurans are living on the other side of the forest.
You are also warned of the Moki in the region. The weapon shop will have some
new Helmets for sale if you'd like to upgrade.
World Map
If you travel all the way to the south, you will find the old castle. If you
enter it, it will have a locked door and you can view some treasure chests that
look like they've already been claimed. West of this castle is Doudan Village.
===============================================================================
DOUNDAN VILLAGE (WK26)
Items: Yoriki Spell
Signal Flute
Speak to people to learn that the old castle is where Emperor Miroku used to
live. There's a weird rock structure to the northwest of town. You can save
your game here if you'd like before entering the southeastern house. The chest
inside the house has a valuable Yoriki spell. This works the same way Goriki
does except this will work on the whole party at once for a little more than
twice the cost. Speak to Dous, the Chief of Doudan Village and after
introducing yourself to him you will explain your story so far. Speak to him
again and he mentions that he has a plan to defeat the Emperor. He will then
ask for your assistance. Say yes and he will request the Black Key from the
ruins to the west. He will warn you of the monsters and asks you to see him
when you return. Speak to him again and he will advise you to ask old man
Moses how to cross the ocean.
World Map
Travel west now and follow the path north to reach a cabin. Inside will be
Moses. He will confirm with you that you wish to get the Black Key and warns
you of monsters. He tells you to defeat Toro Ryanha and to use the Signal
Flute which he provides you to return back. Moses will then part the sea and
you can continue on north to reach the ruins.
===============================================================================
TORO RYANHA RUINS (WK27)
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/67004
Items: Blue Soma x 2
Zio Coin
Kaballah Scroll
White Soma
Red Soma
1200 Coins
Gold Beetle
Black Key
Kubira Armor
Pope Blade
Precious Bell
Travel north to enter the ruins. Take the stairs to the northeast. You will
now be in a room with some staircases as well as holes in the floor. To grab
all of the treasure and complete these ruins, you will have to take advantage
of both. From the stairs, head south and you will notice two sets of stairs to
the east. Take the northern staircase down and you will be in a small
enclosure now with two more staircases. Take the stairs beside you and grab
the Blue Soma and Zio Coin from the chests before returning. Now take the
northern staircase and grab the Kaballah Scroll from the chest. Return now up
two staircases to the second basement floor.
Now take the southern staircase and follow the path to take another staircase.
You will now be in the bottom most basement. Follow the path around to grab
the two treasures from the chest. After receiving the very valuable White Soma
and Red Soma, return all the way back to the first basement room by going back
up two stairs.
Now you will have to take advantage of the pitfalls to proceed. Fall into the
northeastern most pitfall to fall to the floor below. Open the chest to
receive 1200 Coins and then take the stairs. Now fall into the northern hole
and take the stairs and follow the path to reach the second basement room
again. Now make your way to the southeast area near a bunch of holes in the
ground. There will be three holes in particular that seem to form an "L" with
the bottom part of the "L" missing. You need to walk into the lower part of
this "L" on the west side. If you land on the floor below and you can walk to
a staircase below, you have succeeded.
Take the stairs now and open the treasure chest to receive a Gold Beetle. Now
to the west there will be two holes that you can fall into. Fall into the
western one and grab the Blue Soma before taking the stairs. You will now be
in an area with five holes that you can fall into. Your goal is to fall into
the southeastern one. Do so and head north to engage Toro Ryanha.
Boss Battle - Toro Ryanha
He's pretty much a random battle at this point. Your spoils for victory is the
Black Key that Dous requested.
Take the stairs to the north now and follow the linear path collecting the
rest of the treasures as you go. You should receive the Kubira Armor and Pope
Blade. Now make your way out of the ruins and backtrack to the area that
Moses left you off. In case you forget, it's the southwestern most square.
You will automatically use the Signal Flute and cross the sea.
Doudan Village
Return to Dous and he will explain that the Black Key will unlock the old
castle to the east. Inside the castle is a time traveling machine. We've seen
those before. He will ask you to return to the past and destroy Miroku before
he came into power. Agree with the plan and he will mention that a barrier
protects the Hall of Time. He will then provide you with a Precious Bell that
will be used to break through the barrier. When you are ready, enter the
castle.
===============================================================================
MIROKU'S OLD CASTLE (WK28)
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/67000
Items: 400 Coins
220 Coins
380 Coins
420 Coins
Green Soma
Yellow Soma
670 Coins
Brown Soma
Pale Soma
550 Coins
White Soma
Purple Soma
Red Soma x 2
Blue Soma x 2
Scion Blade
Kimon Spear
Sukyura Shield
Kubira Armor
Noble Cloth
Mujaku Helmet
60 Coins
520 Coins
Crystal Ball
Dark Cape
Barrier Jinx
Make your way to the northeast part of the castle. There is a small area that
leads out of the main castle area to the east. Head there and then make your
way south to reach a staircase that isn't damaged. Take the staircase down to
the basement and continue on while passing many already opened treasures.
Eventually you will make it to one of those time warp tiles. Step on it and go
back in time.
You will now be in the basement in the past. All of the treasure chests will
now be accessible and there are quite a few of them. Make your way to the
stairs, but not before taking the 400 Coins, 220 Coins, 380 Coins and 420 Coins
from the treasure chests.
Up on the main floor, note that you cannot leave this castle as the doors are
locked. Make your way north and pass back through the opening and grab the
Green Soma from the chest. Ignore the stairs to the northeast as we are going
to grab all of the treasures from this floor before proceeding on. Grab the
Yellow Soma from the western chest and then make your way south. Once you hit
the status in the middle of the castle floor head east and then north to grab
the 670 Coins from the chest. Make your way south now and ignore the stairs.
Grab the Brown Soma and Pale Soma from the chests before making your way west.
From the western part of the floor, grab the 550 Coins from the chest before
heading south and obtaining the valuable White Soma and Purple Soma. Now make
your way to the northwest part of the map and grab the Red Soma and Blue Soma
before taking the northwestern staircase.
One this floor there will six treasure chests and you can obtain them all by
opening all the chests in the small rooms from west to east. Inside the chests
you will find the Scion Blade, Kimon Spear, Sukyura Shield, Kubira Armor,
Noble Cloth and Mujaku Helmet. Once these treasures are claimed, take the
stairs in the middle of the room.
Note that this next room may have pitfalls. I had acquired and kept the item
Brahman Eye from the tomb and apparently this item prevents you from falling
through invisible pitfalls in this room. Apologies as since I never
encountered these, I can't really guide you through. If you do fall through
though, simply take the stairs and keep at it by trial and error.
Now make your way south but ignore the staircase and continue south. Open the
two chests for the Red Soma and Blue Soma. Take the southern stairs and grab
the treasures from the two chests in the next room. Inside you will find 60
Coins and 520 Coins. Now return up the stairs you came from and travel north
to that staircase you passed earlier in the middle of the room.
After taking the stairs, you will now see a creature before you. Approach it
and he will wonder how you snuck in here and note that Emperor Miroku is away.
He will assume you are an Agarthan thief before attacking.
Boss Battle - Jamoki
He can hit pretty hard but as long as you buff yourself you will be okay.
Afterwards you will find a letter from Miroku. It will mention that once he
returns from the Star, the Ugaya Dynasty will fall. It will also request that
the Eight Moki Generals are put into battle so that Miroku can be victorious
over the Fudaraku.
After reading the letter, make sure you grab the Crystal Ball and Dark Cape
from the treasure chests. Now backtrack all the way back to the time warp
device so that you can return to the present time.
Doudan Village
Speak to Dous. After being upset that Miroku wasn't there and the plan failed,
Dous will request that you go to the Capital of the Heavens and defeat Miroku
there. He will then give you the Barrier Jinx. Now travel all the way back to
Shinpo so that you can hope back on your boat.
Ocean from Shinpo
Now that you have the Barrier Jinx, you can now break the Banto barrier. Do
you remember the castle that was south of Royan and the Tomb? You can now
enter it. Before we do that though, there is something we need to get. Sail
west from Shinpo and you should hit land. Follow the coast to the southwest
and you will find an area that you can dock your ship.
===============================================================================
MOUNTAIN ENTRANCE (WK29)
Items: Red Soma x 2
Kabbalah Scroll
710 Coins
Shomei Spell
Hellfire Spell
Eternal Shield
Sword
Armor
Helmet
Shield
Shadow Pot
Speak to the man who introduces himself as a disciple of Kukai, the Great Sage
from the Psalm of Nine book you had translated. He will request that you
retrieve the Shadow Pot from the Moki who reside here. Since you need the
Shadow Pot to seal the Eight Generals, sounds like a decent plan. Head north
to enter the mountain.
Mountain
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/67003
Make your way to the northwestern stairs and take them down to reach a chest
containing a Red Soma. Return and take the stairs almost beside you to grab
the Kabbalah Scroll from the chest. Return now and make your way to the
eastern area. Take the western stairs to grab another Red Soma from the chest.
Return and take the eastern stairs to grab 710 Coins from the chest. Return
once again and this time return to the entrance. You can walk to the west if
you hug the wall. Take the stair down and then immediately return back up.
Now travel north while hugging the wall to take another set of stairs. Follow
the path while taking the next two sets of stairs and you will now be in an
area with stairs all over. Take the northern staircase to reach a room with a
Shomei Spell. Return and take the northeastern stairs to grab the Hellfire
Spell from the chest. Return and take the southwestern staircase to grab the
Eternal Shield from the chest. Return again and take the southeastern stairs
to reach an area with a boss and a bunch of chests. If you bypass the boss for
now you can open four chests containing pretty crappy stuff. A Sword, Armor,
Helmet, and Shield. When you are ready, engage the boss.
Boss Battle - Sibarani
I found this guy even weaker than some of the random battles in the area.
Open the chest once you've defeated the Sibarani to receive the Shadow Pot.
Now you are able to seal those Eight Moki Generals.
World Map
Return to the world map now as it's time to take on the Banto Castle area that
was previously sealed. Sail your ship back towards the northeast while hugging
the coast and enter Kairyu Town. Hopefully it will be summer and you can grab
some White Somas from the General Store. You should have tons of money at this
point. Exit Kairyu Town by foot and walk to the west along the coast. You
will eventually come upon the previously sealed castle. Enter it.
===============================================================================
BANTO CASTLE (WK30)
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/67001
Items: Raijin Fang Spell
Light Green Key
Red Soma
Deep Red Key
Baramon Bracelet
Tenou Suit
Fuilong Chant
Right off the bat you will be attacked by a Kitarogiga. Quickly dispose of it
and make your way to the southeast. Grab the chest to receive the Raijin Fang
spell for Kirin. Approach the creature to the east and defeat it to receive
the Light Green Key. Make your way to the western area now and grab the chest
to receive the Red Soma. Defeat the creature to the west and you will receive
the Deep Red Key. Now that you have both keys, take the staircase to the
north.
Now make your way through the two doors to the south and you will have another
creature in your path. After defeating it, make your way south and you will
find both Jato and Kageo Madara. Kageo will belittle the little bunny rabbit
before ultimately firing him. This is the last time you will see or hear of
Jato. Kageo Madara will request that you cross the sea and come to Fort Egon.
He will be waiting along with the Eight Moki Generals. After he disappears,
head west and travel through some damage tiles to reach the next set of stairs.
Grab the chest to receive the Baramon Bracelet before heading north through the
damage tiles. Now make your way to the southwest to take the stairs.
Make your way to the two men near the staircase. Yumiru will mention how Banto
has fallen before urging his commander to go on ahead. He will then attack
you.
Boss Battle - Yumiru
Yumiru has a fire attack which can hit the whole party for over 1000 points of
damage. Keep an eye on everyone's HP and buff status.
Take the stairs and then exit onto the boat.
Follow the linear path to find the commander, grabbing the Tenou Suit from the
chest along the way.
Boss Battle - Kajukira
Kajukira has strong magic attacks so protect yourself.
Afterwards, simply backtrack back to Banto Castle and then hop back on the boat
to take control. Now you will be able to sail across the inner sea. Not much
to do here really except sail south and enter Koshi.
Koshi
Speak to everyone to learn about Fort Egon to the south that the Eight Moki
Generals are gathered in. This fort belongs to Kageo Madara. The Capital of
Heavens lies far beyond Fort Egon. You should be able to recruit some allies
at the inn. Notice that the inn price has doubled yet again? Prices have also
doubled in the General Store.
World Map
Exit town now and though Fort Egon is to the south, make your way northeast and
travel around the mountain. Make sure you are hugging close to the mountain.
It's a really long trek, but you will eventually come to a teacher who will
teach you the Fuilong Chant. This is the strongest chant available and hits
all monsters on screen. Make your way back to Koshi now and then travel south
to find Fort Egon.
===============================================================================
FORT EGON (WK31)
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/67002
Items: Red Soma
Moki Key
Karma Blade
Purple Key
Agarthan Ring
770 Coins
990 Coins
Make your way east and then south to grab the Red Soma from the treasure chest.
Now return and travel south and then east and north to grab the Moki Key from
the other chest. Make your way to the man by the door. He is there to ensure
you have the Shadow Pot. Go through the door now and make your way through the
linear path. You cannot take the door to exit the Fort at this point so
continue west. You won't be able to see it, but there is a battle coming up as
stepping on the tiles will trigger a battle against one of the Eight Moki
Generals.
Boss Battle - Kajura
It's been a while since you've battled this guy. He has a lightning attack
that he can use. After defeating him, he will be sealed away in the Shadow
Pot.
Head north and as you turn to go east, another Moki General will await you.
Boss Battle - Onkai Gyoma
He will have a lightning attack which can hit all allies.
He will also get swallowed by the Shadow Pot after defeat. Carry on and take
the stairs.
Before you even get a chance to move on the second floor, you will be attacked.
Boss Battle - Choryo Bakko
Mostly a physical fight here but this General hits really hard. He can also
shoot a fireball at you.
He will also get sealed after the battle. You have to be on your toes here and
be prepared for anything. Make your way to the staircase in the center of the
room. Right before you hit the small wall that houses the staircase, you
guessed it, another battle.
Boss Battle - Seizanpa Naro
Another mostly physical attacker.
After sealing him, walk towards the stairs and yet another General will attack.
Boss Battle - Seizanpa Nae
This guy has an ice attack which will hit all allies as high at 1500 points of
damage. That can be devastating if you don't have your "riki" spells
activated. Ensure everyone has at least 1600HP and keep them above that level.
Now you can take the stairs after sealing him in the Shadow Pot. Make your
way to the next set of stairs to the west. Before you can take them though.
Boss Battle - Chohito Gairen
Chohito has the ability to steal magic from you.
Swallow him in the Pot and take the stairs. Grab the treasure chest to receive
the cursed Karma Blade. Approach the stairs now and face the next General.
Boss Battle - Yoen Koboisu
This guy can cast a flame spell that will hit each member of the party for
upwards of 1700 points of damage. Very important to take him out as quickly as
possible and to not take defense or healing for granted.
Once you seal him, head upstairs to take on your nemesis Kageo Madara. He will
be sitting by the throne. Approach him to do battle.
Boss Battle - Kageo Madara
After doing some damage to him, he will cast magic and disappear, but not
before dropping off a Purple Key. This key will allow you to open the southern
door on the first floor.
Now we have to return to the first floor. You will notice some people are
traversing the dangerous floor. These are the last survivors of the Ugaya
Dynasty. They managed to survive by hiding deep underground. The city of
Darai is hidden below this fort. Make your way to the treasure chest that had
the Red Soma inside it. There will now be a staircase beside it. Take it to
visit the city.
Darai
Darai was built by a famous Sage who vanished. Queen Uzume is the town leader
who descended from the Ugaya Dynasty. The weapon shop will have some great
items here. Make sure any Inishe characters purchase the Azure Bow as that
will be the strongest weapon they can equip. Enter the northern palace and you
will be able to meet the Queen. She will introduce herself if you speak with
her before giving her the Agarthan Ring as it's required to enter the Capital
of the Heavens. Speak to her again and she will advise you to speak with
Hatsuse if you are in trouble in the Capital. Open the chests to receive 770
Coins and 990 Coins. If might not be a bad idea to quickly return to Koshi to
sell any access items and weapons you may have to clear up your inventory.
When you are ready, exit Fort Egon by taking the door to the south.
World Map
Make your way south through the damaging poisonous swamp that takes 20HP off
for every step you take. Eventually you will come upon a cavern. Enter it.
===============================================================================
CAVERN (WK32)
Items: Shidenkai Spear
Rikio Suit
Salamander Blade
Red Soma
1200 Coins
Seiken Kusanagi
True King Suit
Eternal Flame
Make your way west and open the chest to receive a Shidenkai Spear. Continue
west to find a Rikio Suit as well as a Salamander Blade, the strongest Blade at
this point so far. Now make your way south and grab the Red Soma from the
chest before heading southwest. Grab the 1200 Coins from the treasure chest
before making your way to Kageo Madara. This battle is going to be tough so
take the time to apply all your buff statues and ensure your health is high.
Boss Battle - Kageo Madara
He hits extremely hard here so you have to ensure that if your buffs wear out,
you recast them immediately. He can use a fire attack which will hit all
characters for huge damage if you aren't buffed and he can break your buffs
with one attack. If he hits this attack twice in a row, it's all over. Even
if he hits his attacks once when you are unbuffed, as soon as you rebuff ensure
that you heal all characters again.
After the battle, Kageo will notice your Agarthan Ring and realize that he is
only Madara's Shadow before being sealed in the Shadow Pot. Now Madara's
Light Kusanagi will fuse together with Kageo's Dark Kusanagi to form the Seiken
Kusanagi. You will have to equip it or else your next battle may be without a
weapon for Madara. Now make your way west and note that door that you cannot
go through at the moment and take the passage that exits to the north.
You will now be in a town like area with the villagers warning you to run away.
One person will think that Madara and Kaos are coming to kill everyone.
Hatsuse will be to the north. He will explain that the Capital is in a panic
and to sneak in while you have an opportunity. He says that you can try to
dress like a nobleman to fool the guards, or to try the southeast sewer duct.
I haven't tried putting on all noble clothing so I took the sewer. Enter it to
begin.
Sewer
Follow the path and turn north at the intersection. Once you reach the top,
make your way west and then north at the next intersection. Now travel east,
north, and then east to reach the staircase. Travel north all the way to reach
the stairs.
You will now be in the throne room of Emperor Miroku
Boss Battle - Emperor Miroku
Remember how many of the past boss battles were simply little more than a
random battle? This is a boss fight. Miroku can cast a spell that hits the
whole party for over 2000HP each. This can wipe out your party in one shot if
you won't watch your HP levels. Ensure you are buffing with Yoriki, cast
Ashura on everyone to increase their attack and immediately heal or rebuff if
any damage is taken or buff removed.
After the battle, the Shadow Pot will shatter. Pitch black shadows will sway
around the chamber. All of a sudden the room will turn into one willed with
lava. You will hear the emperor’s voice laughing at the thought of sealing
him. It's very unlucky when the Shadow Pot breaks and the Emperor has fused
all his parts together and he's now as good as new. He will then thank you by
sending you into the flames of hell. Each step takes off 20HP. Carefully head
all the way back to Hatsuse. He will notice a bloody huge Moki Queen before
telling you to head back to Darai.
Darai
Everyone will be happy now that they can go to the outside world. One person
in town mentions that the sage went to a cave on the east edge of town. Head
to the palace and you will see that somehow Hatsuse beat you there. Speak to
the Queen and she'll mention that the appearance of the Moki Queen was
prophecy. She will then tell you to meet the prophet Ikoze. Exit the palace
now and there will be a small cave to the northeast. Enter the cave and grab
the True King Suit from the treasure chest. Make your way to the west to find
the Prophet Ikoze. Ikoze will explain to you that the Wicked star is the
birthplace of the Moki. Aeons ago, the Moki Queen came to Earth from the
Wicked Star but was resisted by the Agarthans. They tore her body to shreds
and thus, the Eight Moki Generals were born from those shreds. Now that she
has been reborn, she will likely return to the Wicked Star. Even if she
leaves, there's no doubt she will try to come back. You can board a ship
called the Ame no Torifune at Mount Shumi's peak. He will then give you an
Eternal Flame which will be used to take the ship into space.
Now it would be a good idea to return to a town like Kairyu Town to purchase a
whole bunch of White Somas from the seasonal shop. As long as you save the
game from the tree in Koshi, you can always warp back using the Kanraihu spell.
Once you are ready, return to the cavern where you defeated Kageo Madara. The
path that was blocked will now be open and you can scale Mount Shumi.
Mount Shumi
Simply follow the linear path until you come upon the Ame no Torifune. You
will automatically board it and sail into space before landing on the Wicked
Star. Note that once you land on the Wicked Star, there is no way to leave
unless your party gets defeated. It's all or nothing here.
===============================================================================
WICKED STAR (WK33)
Map:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/579581-mouryou-senki-madara/faqs/67017
Items: Meteor Spell
You will be dropped off on the Wicked Star and this dungeon is like a super
maze. It has warp points that lead from one side of the star, to a middle
section and then back to the other side of the star. This has the potential to
be extremely confusing but I will outline the path to the Moki Queen. From the
entrance, take the stairs to the north. This area is the center of the star.
Take the stairs and you will exit on to the other side of the star. Grab the
chest containing the Meteor Spell for Kirin and then take the stairs to the
south. Follow the path and when you exit, you will be in an area that has four
warp points including the one you came from. Make your way south, passing the
warp point along the way and taking the southern warp. Follow the path and you
will exit in a section that has two warp points to the northeast. Skip the
first one you see and take the northern most one. Follow the path until you
exit out into another area with three warp points. Take the one directly to
the south (not the one to the far south) and simply follow the rest of the
linear pathways. You will know you are getting closer when you can see the
Earth prior to the last warp point. Once you step on the last warp point, you
will fall through and land in the Moki Queen's chamber.
Make your way north and the Moki Queen will summon her minions. You will first
have to defeat four Oniworms, four Hachukagras, four Shanbarakas and three
Jakimajins. Once those guys are defeated engage the Moki Queen.
Boss Battle - Moki Queen
This is the hardest battle in the game and can be quite an eye opener. If
you've been cruising through the game without much of an issue, prepare to be
blown away. The Moki Queen is fully capable of instantly killing your whole
party with 1-2 attacks if you are not prepared. Her attacks are also strong
enough to remove any Goriki/Yoriki buffs you have activated as well as reduce
your characters HP. Past battles you could worry about healing a character and
have a "safe" zone as long as Goriki/Yoriki was enabled but not here. I'd
dedicate one character for rebuffing and re-healing almost every few seconds.
If Moki Queen misses some attacks consider yourself lucky. Prior to the battle
I would enable all buffs like Ashura, Yoriki, Enkai and Senri. Yoriki will
have to be reactivated pretty much after every attack you receive.
After the battle, the Moki Queen mentions that the Wicked Star will crash into
the earth. You will hear Tatara's voice telling Madara to use his Chakra to
banish the Wicked Star from this world. A cut scene will then play out of
Madara using his Chakra. The Wicked Star will shake wildly and almost collides
with the Earth. It will appear that everyone blew up on the Wicked Star but
you will see Madara and friends back on earth with Madara lying unconscious in
a large field. He will blink a few times and then open his eyes to the joy of
his comrades. The Konami screen will appear signaling the end of the game.
You have just completed Mouryou Senki Madara.

EQUIPMENT: (EQMT)
*******************************************************************************
Note that equipment in this game has a unique way of calculating it's actual
attribute. Below I have listed an approximation, it may vary as equipment
stats are altered by character stats.
Calculations:
Base Attack = (3.75 + level × 0.125) × strength
Base Defense = (3.75 + level × 0.125) × agility
Weapon and Armor Value = Base Value + (× level rise value)
Level rise value is = 1/30 of base value.
So if something had a value of 100 as its base value. It would increase your
attack or defense by 3 at level 1 to a total of 103. Each level increased
would add another 3 to the total so at level 2, it would be 106 and so on. As
levels rise, so will your applicable stats. The below listings are not 100%
accurate as they are not base level stats. They were taken with Level rise
values included in the totals so some will be slightly higher or lower than
others. This is a generalization so you will know which pieces of equipment
are significantly stronger than others though.
The following will show which types of characters can equip which kind of
weapons and armor. This will be separated by Fighters (F), Shamen (S) and
Inishe (I). Note that only Madara can equip the Kusanagi equipment.

*******************************************************************************
RECRUITMENT: (RCMT)
*******************************************************************************
In this section, I am going to touch on how to recruit characters as well as
what happens to them after you revive them (they disappear for a while). Note
that you can only recruit players after certain storyline conditions are met.
These are explained in the walkthrough.
You can get clues to where certain characters are located by using the Foretell
option at any Lone Tree. It will generally provide you a character, as well
as the location he or she may be in.
Once you are at an applicable location, you will recruit party members from the
town’s inn. Be careful when switching characters and understand that any items
and equipment currently equipped on a character will disappear next time you
summon that character back. It's often a good idea to completely strip a
character before you swap them out. On the other side, a character that you
are bringing back from the inn will only have a couple pieces of equipment and
zero items that you left them with.
Inactive characters will level up as you progress the story. It's possible to
leave a character in the early game at level 9, then pick them up much later in
the game and have them come in at level 28 for example.
Certain characters will come in with certain equipment at certain points in the
game. Below is a list of the plot point, and what equipment you can expect
them to have.
Before the Corridor of Flame:
Madara will have the Kusanagi and Armor
Kirin will have the Bow and Armor
Shaman will have the Sword and Armor
Hakutaku will have the Knife and Traveler Cloth
Loki will have the Sword and Armor
Nayuta will have the Knife and Noble Cloth
After the Corridor of Flame:
Madara will have his current Kusanagi and Armor
Kirin will have the Bow and Armor
Hakutaku will have the Knife and Traveler Cloth
Loki will have the Kamaitachi Axe, Shield, Helmet and Armor
Nayuta will have the Knife and Noble Cloth
Shamon will have the Pope Sword, Helmet and Armor
Jamira will have the Pope Sword, Carida Shield, Rubikon Helmet and Shatra Armor
Kaos will have the Kasumi Sword, Carida Shield and Kubira Armor
Seishinja will have the Scion Blade and Rikio Suit
Himika will have the Knife and Maiko Clothes
Around Late Endgame (once Kaos cannot be recruited)
Madara will have the Light Kusanagi and Raio Suit
Kirin will have the Bow and Armor
Hakutaku will have the Knife and Traveler Cloth
Loki will have the Myouo Blade, Dragon Scale, Mujaku Helmet and Shatra Armor
Nayuta will have the Knife and Agartha Robe
Shamon will have the Ashura Blade and Kouo Suit
Jamira will have the Susano Blade, Sukyura Shield, Amogo Helmet, Bishmon Armor
Seishinja will have the Fuugin Axe and Raio Suit
Himika will have the Azusa Bow and Cotton Mesh
Note that if Madara dies while holding the Seiken Kusanagi and revived at a
healer, he won't get it back. He will be revived with his Light Kusanagi and
it cannot be transferred off of his corpse like other items can.
*******************************************************************************
ODDITIES AND MUSINGS: (ODMU)
*******************************************************************************
Just a note that this section contains spoilers.
Buying and Selling items:
You may notice that characters will often pay a slightly different price than
the advertised price at a shop. Same thing happens when selling and item, they
will usually receive slightly more money. There is a reason for this and it's
related to a characters Charm statistic. Here is the formula:
Making a purchase:
Purchase price = price × (100 - charm / 10) -1
Selling an item:
Sale price = price / 2 × (100 + charm / 10) + 1
Certain Events:
I'm not sure if doing the Snow Town section is mandatory for completing the
game. You don't really get any reward or quest items.
Kaos:
Kaos disappears from your list of characters during the mid to end game, but
he's not really explained well. It's implied that he and the rebels are saving
villages from Moki, but Madara's party will be doing this so I'm not sure if
it's to be implied that Kaos is stealing the credit here for whatever reason.
Madara's body parts:
While your main objective is to collect your body parts and take down the
Emperor to save the world from evil, once you collect your last body part and
make Madara complete, it's kind of treated as an afterthought and seems like
the story could have been told without this interesting plotline.
Age of characters from the Great Flood era:
Noah's Ark will explain the great flood in detail, but it makes you wonder why
Tataru, Jofuku and Sukune's life in present time isn't spoken of. We are to
believe that these characters are over 3500 years old.
Emperor Miroku:
In one of the Japanese sites I read about Madara, it was stated that Madara was
in fact the son of Miroku, and he was dismembered and his body parts dispersed
out of fear from the Emperor that Madara would take him down in the True King
Prophecy. Unless I missed it, this wasn't mentioned at all in the translation
by AGTP. Not sure if misunderstood the site or there was something lost in the
translation.

CONTACT AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: (CONT)

This is my ninth walkthrough that I have written and if you have any questions
regarding this game that are not answered in the FAQ, or you would like to
contribute, feel free to email me at corystahlbaum"@"yahoo.com (remove quotes)
and put "Mouryou Senki Madara" in the subject line. Please note that I check
my email very infrequently so it may be a while before I get back to you. If
your question is in this guide it will probably be ignored. Feel free to
contact me if you see any errors or wish to make any contributions to this FAQ.
Credit will be given of course. I don't view emails that have any attachments
and whatnot so send text only. I'd love to update this guide with all the
monster data in this game as I never collected it.
I've only played through this game once, creating maps along the way. I'd like
to give credit to the following:
http://www.geocities.co.jp/Playtown-Bingo/3950/game/madara.html
- This Japanese website provided the formula that calculates statistics. I
also used this site to confirm weapon and item identities as well as find out
the uses for some spells since this game doesn't really tell you what they do.
Granitor's partially complete walkthrough
- I used this guide to assist me while I was creating mine. It was used mainly
to ensure I didn't overlook anything along the way.
