Northeast this time. Put the Larva Key in the hole in the rock. Neither side
has anything except minions. Go forward. Save and keep going. Now you will
fight Kikinak. He does not like fire so it is best to use a fire minion. He is
also pretty fast and agile so it might be a good idea to not use Elemental
attacks which miss more often. He isn't that hard and when you win he might
drop a Great Walnut. Once you are done talking to him he gives you the Spider
Key and Calabas Powder and then the Ocarina. You then go back to town.

is the Moth Key. Another scene and you get Mahbu's Cocoon and Riketz' Garb.
You have head to Moth Forest but if you want to trap some good minions go to

minions because you will run out of empties before being able to get more after

Netherworld Beetle Forest. Also once you beat any of the next forests you will
not be able to go back to them to capture minions or get missed items.
---------------------------------------------
7. Netherworld Beetle Forest

NETHERWORLD BEETLE FOREST
Minions - Spikarta, Hackaroo, Patdreg, Skwimel, Swav, Patmanty
Items - Vary's Blessing x 3, Malty's Blessing x 3, Hawk Ruff, Skeleton Key

The Skeleton Key is in the same place the masked boy was and the treasure
chest (Vary's Blessing x 3, Malty's Blessing x 3, Hawk Ruff) is in the same
spot. The Fire boss is at Koris' hut. He isn't that strong but he has a strong
fire minion who will poison you. The spell Devi Agni will always be in place
so fire minions might be better than water ones. When you win you get Tendai
Uyaku (maybe) and the Jewel of Fire. You then go back to the Nagi village.


NAGI VILLAGE
Items - None

You talk to Ni and then mess with your minions and head to the Netherworld
Dragonfly Forest.
---------------------------------------------
8. Netherworld Dragonfly Forest

NETHERWORLD DRAGONFLY FOREST
Minions - Amasag, Hirasag, Skarunga, Dogle, Mugoo, Zulmoo, Karn, Geenwee
Items - Thunderbolt, Skeleton Key, Bletilla Oil, Chestnut Oil, Sleep Spore x 3

Thunderbolt is at the same place the poacher was. The Treasure Chest (Bletilla
Oil, Chestnut Oil, Sleep Spore x 3) is to the left of the door leading to the
ice field Kikinak was at. The Skeleton Key is all the way down and at the same
place the Secret of Killing 1 was at. The Wind Boss is where you fought
Kikinak before he is pretty quick and evades a lot. His minion uses sleep and
then heals it's life so this is a tough battle. When fighting him the spell
Devi Malti will always be in place so air minions might be better than fire
ones. When you win you get the Jewel of Wind and Tendai Uyaku (maybe) and I
also got Bloody Garb but I think this was rare. You then go back to the Nagi
village.

---------------------------------------------
9. Netherworld Spider Forest (not done yet)

NETHERWORLD DRAGONFLY FOREST
Minions - Berbansa, Tragaron, Turen, Uglam, Jirahl, Spiral, Mukshab, Carmine,
Terhambu, Dogpara, Robun, Noobwee
Items - Skeleton Key, Urvy's Blessing x 3, Agni's Blessing x 3, Tendai Uyaku

The Earth Boss is at the same place where Yami, Kakayuma, and Yamu were.  These
fights are optional but are quite easy as the Boss doesn't summon a minion and
he gives good experience. The Skeleton Key is at the same place the Divine
Tablet was. The Treasure Chest (Urvy's Blessing x 3, Agni's Blessing x 3,
Tendai Uyaku) is at the place that has a circular path after the doorway that
blocked your path before, it is on the same screen that the Skeleton Key was
before except you have to take the South path instead of the North. The Earth
Boss is at the big Tree. You have to fight this one and he has a minion who
likes to use Stone.  When you win you get the Jewel of Earth and you will
immediately fight the Chosen One. He has a minion that will change elements at
random so be prepared for a tough fight. Use whatever items you want since this
is the last battle.  Whenever he switches elements which rotate in a clockwise
direction, Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, the minion will cast the corresponding
Deva spell.  When he is Earth he stones, Fire he just hurts you, Water he heals,
and Wind he hurts you.  Once he is dead The Chosen One is really easy.
Enjoy the end movie and make sure you watch the credits because after you beat
the game you can go into the Eternal Corridor. Save your game when given the
choice and it will be unlocked.

---------------------------------------------
11. Eternal Corridor (not done yet)

This place has the same setup as the Nagi Village, except there are lots of new
weapons, armor, and items. In fact it has just about every weapon, armor, and
item in the game. There are lots of different monsters here from before and new
ones too. As the name states I believe there is no end to the corridors but
prove me wrong if you can. Their are bosses along the way but I haven't got that
far yet. If I have time I will add where the bosses are and everything.

---------------------------------------------
12. Hints and Tips

Cocoons
Lvl 1-3 -   Cloud Silk       150 Yan
Lvl 4-6 -   Thunder Silk     225 Yan
Lvl 7-11 -  Lily Silk        375 Yan
Lvl 12-17 - Pearl Silk       600 Yan
Lvl 18-24? - First Snow Silk  1125 Yan
Lvl 25?-29? - Angelwing Silk   3000 Yan
Lvl 30+? -   Moonlight Silk   7500 Yan

Starting Equipment - Knife, Hunter's Vest

Won Reflecting Vest from Raddreg in Moth Forest.
Won Tsunami from Dogle in Netherworld Dragonfly Forest.
Won Tsunami from Dogle/Mugoo in Netherworld Dragonfly Forest.
Won Bloody Garb from Wind Boss in Netherworld Dragonfly Forest.
Won Bloody Garb from Earth Boss in Netherworld Spider Forest.
Won Bloody Garb from Earth Boss in Netherworld Spider Forest.


Poison 1/10 damage of total life. If a minion dies of poison your minion will
gain no experience for it.  It also lowers your Attack and Magic Attack.

Stone will lower Accuracy and Avoidance and will kill you after you take
action (ie. attack, defend) 5 times.

Sleep lowers Defense, Magic Defense and Avoidance you will recover when it is
your turn or when you are hit.

Fight enemy same level you get level up. One level less fill half the bar.
3 levels less it takes 4 of them for a level up. It keeps going up by a power
of 2 so the equation is x=your monster's level, y=defeated monster's level,
and e is the number of monster's of that level you have to defeat to gain a
level.
2^(x-y)=e
So if your monster is level 5 you will need to defeat 2 level 4 monsters or 4
level 3 monster.
2^(5-4)=e  2^1=e or 2=e
2^(5-3)=e  2^2=e or 4=e
The same thing goes for capturing and merging.

When battle is over minions heal 1/4 health/mana.  When blocking heal mana
based on your level.  I am not sure exactly what the ratio is.

?-?   gain ? mana
15-16 gain 6 mana
17-?  gain 7 mana
?-?   gain ? mana

I will finish this table if I have time.

Skwoots in Dragonfly Forest drop Great Walnuts which permanently raise your
Health by 1 or 2.

Merging a minion with a minion that has poison, stone, or sleep will make the
new minion have a resistance to that ability.  I am not sure how effective
this resistance is.  It doesn't stop it completely just a lot more often. Also
the minion must have the ability or it won't have the resistance.
