    Saiyuki: Journey West is based on an ancient chinese legend chronicalled
 in a large book called Xi Yu Gi (notice the similarity in the names?). You'll
 notice a number of parallels with the infamous Dragon Ball series, which also
 drew some of its inspiration from that self same story.
    Saiyuki is a tale about a young boy (or girl) named Sanzo.  Sanzo is
 charged by the lady Kannon to bring her mystic staff to India, and along the
 way collect "Guardians" that have scattered around the earth.  Along the way,
 he/she collects a number of friends to help out, six of which can be in
 battle at any given time.  Each of Sanzo's friends has the power to turn into
 a mighty creature of some sort, labeled as a "Were."  Only one can do so at
 any given time, and it drains from a collective pool of "Werepoints."  Sanzo
 cannot turn into such a beast, but makes up for the lack with phenomenal
 magic power and the ability to summon the guardians you find along the way.
    The game is a strategy RPG in the vein of Vandal Hearts, Rhapsody, and the
 like.  Not quite on par with FFT or VB, it still distinguishes itself as one
 of the better games of its genre in the industry.  If you're an sRPG fan,
 Saiyuki: Journey West is a must.  I enjoyed it a great deal; I hope you do,
 too.

    This guide should be 100% spoiler free; I took great pains not to ruin
 any of the surprises or plot for you.  The only possible exceptions are the
 special characters, but if I didn't include them, you would never know if
 you could get them or not.
    Anywhere you see an ascii letter or number followed by a line going right
 across the entire page (like at the top of this section), it indicates a
 major section break.  An indented one (like the one directly above this
 paragraph) indicates a sub-heading; and a further indentation indicates a
 sub-heading under that.  Helpful notes are sprinkled liberally throughout
 the walkthrough part of this guide, which is organized by battle.  They'll
 alert you to any potential secret you might miss.
    If you're new to Saiyuki, consider reading my section on "The Basics."
 If you're an experienced player just looking to further your mastery of the
 game, feel free to skip it.

    If this is your first Strategy Role Playing Game (sRPG), the world map
 is probably giving you a headache.  Rather than moving around under an
 overhead camera, walking everywhere, most sRPGs have you select your
 destination from a map like this.  To do so, move the cursor over the desired
 location and press X.  Sanzo will attempt to move there, stopping only in
 the case of some unusual event (like a battle).

    Pressing start on the world map opens up the menu screen.  Here, you can
 save or load a game, set the game options, or change around your party.  The
 Character Information section gives you information on each specific
 character one at a time, as well as allowing you to equip/de-equip them.  The
 Party Information screen allows you to view your party's stats as a whole,
 your inventory, and most importantly, to use potions (which permanently up
 your stats).

    Each person can equip up a helmet, and armor, and up to six accessories.
 You have to equip people with "Spell Scrolls" for them to gain access to that
 spell, which takes up one accessory slot.  Though they do have weapons, the
 only way to improve those is to stop by a smith and have your weapon reforged
 which costs a good deal of money.

    The heart and soul of Saiyuki: Journey West is its combat system.  This
 section is a rather detailed explanation of it, and probably helpful for
 both experienced player and beginner alike.

                 :Et
                  #f                                                 Game Flow
                  #f  ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
                  #f
                  Et

    Game Flow is basically how the battles progress.  Each character is
 assigned a number based on their speed, with your characters winning any
 ties.  They start with 1 and go all the way up to however many total
 units are on the screen (which can go all the way up to 16, only 6 of which
 can ever be yours).  When the first 'round' starts, character number 1
 moves first, followed by character number 2, etc.  Once the last character
 has moved, a new round begins, starting back at 1.

   If a character dies, all these numbers are reassigned.  You can find them
 easily enough by placing your cursor over the unit in question and looking
 at the blue bar above their stats, which should contain their number.  In
 this way, you can see who's going to be moving next and base your decisions
 off of that information.

   The game counts the number of rounds that elapse before the battle ends.
 The more quickly you finish the battle, the more Werepoints you get at its
 end.   More on this later.

                :;tt:

    When one of your character's turns comes up, you will be prompted to act.
 Pressing triangle will allow you to exit the menu and use your cursor to
 get information about other units, and pressing it again will reselect your
 character.

    There are generally five actions you can take: Move, Attack, Spell,
 Potion, and Werechange (Summon for Sanzo).  Selecting the first allows you to
 move your character around on the battlemap, something like the game of
 Chess.  Selecting attack will generate a field around your character in the
 'range' of their attack - that is, how far the attack goes.  You can select
 any enemy within that range to strike at.

    The damage your attack does is given by (Off * 2) - EDef, where Off
 represents your Offense stat, and EDef represents your enemies' Defense
 stat.  Attacking from behind will give your a 20% bonus to your damage after
 the blow has landed; attacking from either side will get you a 10% bonus
 instead.  Attacking head on doesn't get you anything, so be careful to use
 the terrain to your advantage.  Speaking of which, height differences also
 factor into the damage you're doing.  You get an extra 10% damage added to
 your attack if you are least 2 height above them, and an extra 10% knocked
 off if you're at least 2 below.

    On top of that, Luck factors into the damage you do by adding random
 amounts of damage to your attack - or subtracting from it.  Though your
 predicted damage is always (Off * 2) - Def, there's no way to quite pin
 down what your actual damage will wind up being.

   The third type of command allows you to cast a spell.  Selecting it will
 bring you to a list of all the spells available; selecting one of those will
 generate a field much like selecting the attack command does.  The spell
 does damage based on your elemental affinity, your Magic (Mgc) stat, and
 its Magic Offense stat (MO).  This generally takes the form of Damage =
 Mgc + (XLvl * 2) + MO - EMgc, where XLvl represents your level of affinity
 with that element, and EMgc is the Magic stat of whomever it is being cast
 on.
 ______
/      \   Not all magicks follow this formula.  The only way to be sure
() NOTE ()  exactly how the damage is calculated is to check out the section
\      /   on each individual spell.
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯
    Potion is relatively simple: it allows your character to use a healing
 potion on anyone standing next to them, or on themselves.  Werechange will
 be explained in the next section; which brings us to the Use command.  This
 command is not always available, but it appears when you're standing next to
 an object that can be manipulated in some way - a piece of artillery, a
 treasure chest, even a log bridge you can dislodge.  Selecting Use and
 targeting that object will "trigger" it, and cause whatever effect it has to
 occur.

              ;t;tG:

    One of the biggest parts of combat is your characters' ability to
 Werechange.  This will take one of your party members - excluding Sanzo -
 and turn them into a powerful were-creature for as long as you have the
 "Werepoints" to sustain them.  In this form, you have access to extremely
 powerful, wide range attacks that can not only mangle enemies, but even
 destroy much of the scenery.

    When a character Werechanges, all enemies next to them take damage, and
 all destroyable terrain next to them is destroyed.  This takes one Werepoint.
 Everytime they attack after that, points are used based on how poweful the
 chosen attack was.  The weakest takes 1 point; the most powerful take 6.
 Once you run out of Were points, you're reverted back to your human form.
 While you remain Were, you have double the HP and improved stats; but
 beware, enemies will tend to concentrate their fire on you.  If you die as
 a Were, you're still just as dead.

    Under some of the scenery you can destroy will be treasure chests.  The
 Walkthrough contains a description and point location of the hidden treasures
 so that you don't have to go around destroying everything in sight (although
 you still can, if you want to =P).

    Sanzo has the ability to Summon a guardian he has collected.  Doing so
 will cause it to float over his head for the next three rounds, and improve
 your party members in ways specific to that guardian.  In addition, Sanzo
 will gain a new attack for as long as that guardian remains active, which
 is generally much more powerful than any attacks he/she has access to.
 These summons make Sanzo a true force to be reconned with, as his Mgc stat
 is generally absurdly high.

    For more information on the guardians, check out the appendix on them.

 OBJECTIVE:  Remove charm from rock
    Being the first battle in the game, this isn't terribly difficult.  Run
  across the bridge and drop it, forcing the monsters to take the long way
  around.  Work your way up the mountain, after grabbing the Healing Potion
  at (6,7).  At the top you'll find an imp, weakest of all the monster types.
  Beat it into the dirt, but don't remove the charm yet.  Instead, stay where
  you are one space away from it and turn around.  Your enemies will be
  reaching you shortly, and from here only one can come at you at a time, AND
  you've got the advantage of height.  This is a great opportunity to gain a
  level or two.  Once your heal spells have worn themselves out, go get the
  charm to end the battle.

 LOCATION: Hawk Isle
 MAP: ##
 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat the Dragon
 BOSS: 380 HP
    This map can be somewhat irritating, particularly because the dragon
  moves much quicker over water than you do.  I don't move your party members
  at all, or only to bring them together, and make sure Cho Hakkai occupies
  the middle slot.  The Dragon will rush over to attack you.  If Sanzo is on
  a decent level, he may not need to heal; otherwise, make sure you keep his
  HP up.  Sock her with Cho Hakkai and turn Goku were. Next turn she'll attack
  again and run away; stay put, and have Goku Boulderbash her if he can. Sanzo
  will probably need to heal Cho Hakkai.  Next round, she'll fly back in and
  attack again.  Sock her with Cho Hakkai again, heal with Sanzo, and hit her
  with Claw.  Rinse, repeat.
    No matter how tempting, don't attack it with Sanzo unless he's at full
  health.  It can do well over half of his life with one attack, so the odds
  are good it will kill you if you do.

 OBJECTIVE:  Help Gojo escape
    Your objective for this fight is to help your Guest, Gojo, escape (just
  in case the above didn't give it away).  Specifically, you've got to get
  him to the road you entered from.  As soon as the enemies near him are
  slain and he is freed to run, a pursuit group will appear behind him...
  just so it doesn't catch you by surprise.  You can use any one of your
  three party members' wereform with roughly equal effect.  Best to use
  whomever happens to be your highest level, so the others can gain EXP while
  he racks up the Were EXP.

  tackle those behind you before you go after Nyoi and the ones in front.
  Note that none of those tempting water things holds treasure, so don't
  waste your time.  Also, beware of Nyoi's special attack; it can paraylyze

 MAP: Mire River
 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Rhinon
 BOSS: 320 HP
    Rhinon's Iron Ring is an extremely annoying attack which will power down
  everyone near him.  Other than that, he's not too difficult; your main
  problem will be keeping Sanzo alive, as he starts almost surrounded by the
  enemy.  I suggest running Goku straight forward and clouding him onto the
  rock, and turning Ryorin into her Wereform (Gojo, as you're about to
  discover, is nearly invincible in water).  Once Sanzo's turn comes up, run
  him away and summon Mother.

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat P. Ivy
 BOSS: 300 HP
    P. Ivy can't poison you, and her strongest attack does 40-50.  If you
  have been doing the jobs, you probably have the third level attack on most
  of your wereforms...Darkblade, in particular, is extremely useful.  Since
  killing Ivy ends the fight, and her defense isn't terribly good, and most
  of the enemies are imps, just rushing straight forward and slamming her with
  all you've got tends to work well for a quick, clean victory.  Don't be
  surprised if she falls on the second round, third at the most.

 MAP: ##
 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Mahoraga
 BOSS: 350 HP
    This fight seems designed to make up for the pitiful ease of the last
  one.  Mahoraga is tough, and so is his world.  He's big on poisoning you,
  carries a bow, and of couse starts way up at the top where he's difficult
  to reach and can use his attacks to their maximum destructive potential.
  Worse, the stage you're fighting on changes depending on where people
  stand; more people on any one platform will lower the platform farther and
  farther.
    To start, take Ryorin and move her down to get the Emperor's Helm.  Cloud
  Goku right behind the Flyman, and move Gojo onto the platform if able.  If
  the Wolfman is faster than you, just take Gojo and Cho Hakkai to attack him,
  and have Sanzo summon Mother; otherwise, run Gojo onto the platform and
  Waterblade him, following up with Cho Hakkai.  Next round, take out the
  wolfman, have Goku attack the Flyman, and kill the Flyman if anyone still
  can (again, depends on your level, and how fast you are).  If you can't kill
  him then, kill him next round.
    Have Goku cloud into the middle of the Lizardmen, and Ryorin fly up out of
  the pit.  Avoid Mahoraga's platform; it'll take an extra round to get
  somewhere useful, but it'll keep them all from bashing her severely.  Gojo
  ought to be able to smack one of them, and can take up the position Goku
  just left.  Move Cho Hakkai up to where Gojo was, and follow up with Sanzo.
  Next round, have Ryorin pound those two Lizardmen, and Goku kill one.
  From there, its easy; kill the weakened Lizardman, go after the other, and
  once you're done head for Mahoraga.  The Wolfman will block your path, but
  he shouldn't last very long.  Remember to keep summoning Mother, and to use
  Sanzo to keep his own HP nice and high.  Those archers really seem to like
  him.

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Master Tigra
    This map is loaded with treasure, and the real challenge isn't killing
  Tigra - its getting it all!  First off, the map wants you to run around the
  side and flip a switch to open the gate.  Don't do that.  Instead, have Goku
  cloud over and open it on the second round.  Turn someone with good distance
  attacks (like Gojo, who has an infinite range attack) Were, and use them to
  blast over the walls/destroy the trees that contain treasure.  Same thing
  goes for the two treasure boxes in the back, and the one under the throne -
  don't follow the passages provided, have Goku cloud over to them.  Lastly,
  beware Tigra's Thuder attack.  He can't do it much, but it's dangerous and

  Gojo is the Were of choice, mainly for his incredible distance capability.
  Plus, you can destroy the rocks with him, which will make the climbing
  easier.  Neither Vala nor Aspara are particularly dangerous, although both
  are worse than a normal enemy.  Goku can cloud up to the top to distract
  the archers if you like: the operators won't act unless their rock
  disappears, so its relatively safe.  Just take it slow, and pound the
  archers above all else, and you should be fine.

    Kinkaku has a number of annoying attacks with a very long range.  Be

  with them too much.  Non of the items on this level are really worth
  wasting time on, so if you get a clear shot, just aim to take Kinkaku out.

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Ginkaku
 BOSS: 550 HP
    Though not terribly difficult, this is one of the more interesting battles
  in the game.  You're on a time limit; after a bit, that operator by the
  gourd will start sucking your party members into it, unless you disable her.
  I suggest running Goku forwards and clouding your way to her, while Ryorin
  bypasses that mess in the middle and flies there.  The others can deal with
  the monsters in the pass.  Ginkaku herself is fairly tough, so watch out;
  like Kinkaku, she has a very long range, wide area attack that does decent
  damage.

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Master Ko
 BOSS: 460 HP
    Master Ko is surprisingly tough, particularly for a human, which makes
  getting the Emepror Band somewhat difficult (unless you play it smart and
  have Goku cloud straight to it ^_^).  He also has access to a number of
  excellent Gold scrolls, among them Needlemist and Spearthrust.  First
  round, he'll get Steel Skinned, which will keep you from doing more than
  25 damage to him per hit for the next three rounds.  Plus, he carries
  around a bow.
    As if all that weren't enough, you don't have Sanzo for this fight.  But
  beware, if his replacement falls, you still lose, so do NOT kill it.  To
  start off, move someone up to block off that bridge.  This is the easy part;
  wait for your enemies to line up for you, and let loose with Were attacks.
  Watch out for Kikka; the Tiger will keep attacking her, and she can die
  unexpectedly rather quickly if Ko and a Bandit team up on her.  By the time
  the common enemies are dead, Ko's steelskin should have worn off (although
  your Were is likely out of points).  He's still fairly tough, but you should
  be able to drop him in only a couple of rounds.

  members can actually navigate that mess of a battle field.  Plus, his spell
  Poleaxe is extremely useful.
    Start off by turning Gojo Were.  Cloud Goku forward as far as possible,
  and have Sanzo summon Cavalier.  Ryorin should smack the Conjurer if she
  can, or else cast Iron Skin.  Next round, Hit the conjurer/Nagini with
  Poleaxe, Darkblade, and whatever Ryorin has, and cloud Goku forwards again.
  Next round, do it again.  Now Goku has met up with Sanzo and Ryorin, the
  conjurer is dead, and Nagini is probably severely wounded.  Next round, she
  should die.

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Windy
 BOSS: 460 HP
    This is a neat battle.  I heavily reccomend bringing Gojo, Kikka, Ginrei,
  Goku, and one other person.  Have Sanzo and your extra stand on the plate,
  move Goku and Gojo behind the second big rock, and move Ginrei and Kikka
  behind the first.  Turn Gojo Were (Darkblade!  Infinite range rocks), and
  use him either to fry enemies or to uncover the treasure.  The bandits will
  approach, but Windy will not - pelt them with arrows, and when they get
  close enough, have Goku and Gojo finish those suckers off.
    "What's the big deal about stunwind?!", you may be inclined to adsk.
  It paralyzes you, and hits a huge range.  Other than that, its not so bad.
  You can ignore the rocks completely and just suffer it if you wish, but a
  lucky shot can incapacitate your entire party.

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Kid Pyric
 BOSS: 510 HP
    Dropping that bridge probably looks awfully tempting, but I don't
  reccomend it.  The reason is how the enemies behave; if you leave it up,
  they'll fire at you for a bit and then cross.   If you drop it, however,
  you'll be forced into a mad rush against Lizardmen and Pyric's Firebomb
  attack, uphill, which isn't much fun.
    So, ignore the log completely.  Run your forces off to the right and
  crush the small group over there.  When they're done, cloud Goku over to
  meet up with Pyric.  His cronies will wander across the bridge, but
  Pyric won't.  Go back to where you started, and crush the other group
  of enemies, and have Goku either gather the treasure or beat up on
  pyric (who isn't much of a threat to a lone person).

    The trick I suggested the last time you were on this map won't work this

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Scorpia
 BOSS: 800 HP
    The Lizardmen up on the first hill are annoying.  Thankfully, Goku
  completely ignores terrain.  Cloud him up there to give them a swift kick
  in the pants.  Meanwhile, Scorpio will be nice enough to come down from her
  high perch and tango with you one on one.  This gives you an excellent
  opportunity to end this fight early; just focus all your fire on her, and
  she'll drop like one of the bugs her namesake supposedly eats.
    Surviving until she does is the key, as a great deal of fire will be
  focused on you from the moment the battle starts.  A good tactic for this
  sort of thing is to arrange your characters into a cross pattern, which
  Sanzo, Kikka, or Genshi can then Group Heal every turn to keep them all up
  well.  This will also, incidentally, gain them massive amounts of EXP, and
  surprisingly won't cause Scorpio's attacks to be any more effective than
  they already are.  If you're close to running out of MP, just use a magic
  potion.  You can stay like that pretty much indefinately, if you just want
  to gain some levels (or get the Treasures).

    Prepare to be annoyed!
    That giant rolling ball will take the first path that offers itself, on
  either side.  Remember that, and make sure you're not in its way at the
  end of the round.  It does about 100-150 damage to whomever it hits, good
  or otherwise.
    If you have the Ultra Tusk attack, place Cho Hakkai on the far right, out
  in front, and have him go Were.  Charge him straight forward as far as you
  can as fast as you can, dodging the ball if you can.  Once he comes in
  contact with Windy, Ultra Tusk him for a solid 350 damage.  After Windy
  dies, go after Baa with that same attack.  It'll make your life a lot
  easier, particularly because of the Raging Boar's great HP.  Windy is the
  second biggest threat in the entire fight, as his stun wind does just
  that: stuns you.  The biggest threat is Nyoi himself, who is both hard
  to get to and also into paralyzing you.  Rhinon is irritating, mainly
  because of his Iron Ring, and Jiko-turned-Sanzo makes it hard to kill him
  and after him, Nyoi).
    If you don't have Ultra Tusk, turn Gojo Were and use his absurdly long
  range attacks to hammer at the bigger threats from the relatively safety
  of the back.  Make sure you have a healthy supply of Cure potions, and
  watch out for the ball.

 BOSS: 700 HP
 BOSS: 950 HP
    Turn Sa Gojo Were.  His ability to hit things no matter where they are on
  the screen is absolutely invaluable, particularly when you need to destroy
  those cannons.  They hit a large area, though they only shoot straight
  forward.  Use Dark Blade to cut one of them off on the second round of
  combat, and don't bother with the other...just crowd onto that side, and
  gang up on the enemies there.  Neither of the Operators will bother you,
  until you both blow up their cannon AND get the treasure under it, so don't
  worry about them.  Next round, use one of his huge area attacks to wreak
  havoc on your enemies, which should have nicely lined up for you (but make
  sure to save a few points for the treasure!).
    One of those Sorcerers is a powerful healer.  Make sure you kill it as
  soon as you get the chance, and make sure that the guardian you summon is
  Mother - you'll need the extra HP, as you're fairly well outnumbered.  The
  other Sorcerer will strengthen Taurus as soon as the battle begins, which
  is a real pain, but after that he's not much of a threat.  Worry more about
  the cannons and those three Ghouls.
    Lastly, kill off all of Taurus' friends before you finish him off, or his
  Wereform will make you regret it.

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Kid Pyric
 BOSS: 710 HP
    The designers of this map wanted you to use that silly lift to get down
  to Kid Pyric, and suffer his Firebombs while you went for that shiny looking
  chest that turns out to be useless.  Don't do that.
    Once you finish off the enemies at the top where you start, line up your
  archers/mages and kill that first bug.  Cloud Goku over to pick up the
  chest, and then back again.  Through all this, none of the lower position
  enemies will have moved.  Now, send Goku down the lift.  Leave him there
  for two turns, and the three remaining will rush forward suicidely, right
  into your bow range.  Cloud back up, and enjoy raining death on them from
  above.
    That's all it takes, and there's a good chance nothing but the Dinomen
  will ever hit you during you this fight.

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Mahoraga
 BOSS: 900 HP
    Start out this fight by moving all your party members to attack that group
  in the ruins to your right.  It'll take Mahoraga at least two turns just to
  reach you (he doesn't really teleport; that's just a pretty animation to
  accompany his flying move 4).  While you're over there, pick up the Emperor
  Crown, a great helmet for Sanzo.  Once all these enemies are dead, head off
  into the middle.
    All the other enemies should have grouped there trying to reach you, with
  the exception of the archers.  Nice of them to line up like that for you;
  smash then unmercifully with area attacks, and then go after the archers.
  Mahoraga doesn't do all that muchdamage, but he has the capability to poison
  you, and is rather hard to catch thanks to his movement.  Save him for last
  unless you get a really, really good opening somewhere.  He has enough HP
  that it'll probably take a few rounds just to finish him off, as well.

    No treasure in this fight, so don't waste your time.  Deva has a bunch of
  HP, and an area attack that stuns.  His sword, the JusticeBlade, is funny -
  check out its attack sometime =). For all that, he's not all that dangerous,
  just as long as you're careful not to group everyone together for him.
    To start off with, ignore those impulses telling you to suicidely charge
  down that hill you're standing on, into the valley, and up the other hill
  just so your enemies can surround you.  Stand your ground; they'll come to
  you in twos and threes, making it easy to finish them off.  If you happen to
  have Heaven's Garden, you may just want to send them all back to bash on
  Deva and each other.  Regardless, don't leave that first rise, and you'll
  find this fight really isn't terribly difficult.

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Vala
 BOSS: 1200 HP
    Once again, I must stress the importance of not just charging blindly,
  particularly when your enemies start in such a great location.  Instead,
  fall back to the back wall - or therabouts - and stay there until they come
  to you.  They'll be more than happy to, giving you ample time to smash them
  on their way down.
    You likely have a number of good area attacks at this point, and you'll
  find that combining them is a great way to kill off large of numbers of
  enemies painlessly.  Lightning is extremely powerful, and can often finish
  off a mostly healthy enemy; your Wereforms likely have access to their fifth
  and six level attacks, again an incredible advantage.  Hand to hand probably
  still does fair damage, but all of these should vastly outweigh it in both
  damage and number of foes struck.  Use them.
    For all that, Vala is surprisingly tough.  This new breed of monsters the
  third chapter has introduced tend to have a whole lot of HP, and as usual
  he has access to a number of good area attacks. Be careful, and remember not
  to just charge forward.  Pick your fights.  If you have Emperor, you'll find
  DragonWhip a lot of fun, and deadly effective, and the extended move coupled
  with the lesser extensions of the other guardians extremely useful.  This is
  the first battle you get to fight at truly full power, and the results will
  likely surprise you.

 MAP: ##
 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Aspara
 BOSS: 1200 HP
    This battle is much harder than the fight with Vala a moment ago, mostly
  because of the terrain.  Emperor or Cavalier are a must for navigation,
  preferably the former (if you got him).  That spike in the middle is truly
  irritating, as the path to the other side (and to Aspara) is only a single
  panel wide, making it easy to block off and difficult to pass through.Worse,
  Aspara has a number of great ranged area attacks that can either paralyze or
  poison you.
    As usual, you're outnumbered; and as you've probably discovered, both the
  Ghouls and the Bugs are some of the more dangerous of the 'weak' enemies,
  with a lot of HP.  Your best bet is to stick together, sending at most one
  high defense/HP person to block off the other side of the tree,and using the
  others to smash your way through to Aspara.  The sit and wait tactic won't
  work here, in part because of your enemies, and in part because Aspara isn't
  interested in coming to you.
    Both those Wolfmen by Aspara are sorcerers. One is an attacker, and one is
  a healer.  Kill the healer as fast as you can, or it may undo a good deal of
  your work. Otherwise, the only thing likely to give you lasting heartburn is
  Aspara herself. by the time this fight is over, you'll be absolutely sick of
  cure potions.

    This battle is, as you might expect, much easier than the previous one.
  Not only is the terrain not nearly as restricting, but Garda is nowhere near
  as dangerous as Aspara was.  That cannon at the top is even one of those
  back from chapter 2, and incapable of doing more than about 50 damage, and
  that only in a straight line.  The only thing remotely difficult about this
  fight is keeping Garda alive long enough to pick up the two great treasures
  here.  Also, if you check out her weapon, shoddy worksmanship once again
  proves to be a trademark of your enemies.  Its fun to actually get to fight
  a boss whose deadliest attack is Blazeball. =)

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Yaska
 BOSS: 1200 HP
    This battle is something of a cross between the Garda and the Aspara
  battles.  Its not as easy as the former, nor as difficult as the latter.
  Yaska has access to a handful of good area attacks, but thankfully they
  don't inflict status ailments left and right like some of the others.  The
  three ghouls are in the worst position possible for you, but one of the
  Dinomen has a big "Kill me" label on his forehead, and one of the sorcerers
  is convinced its a swordsman.  It'll cast strength on itself, and then run
  around whacking people with its staff. =)
     Your first objective is to take out that gag of ghouls in the center of
  the map.  You'll probably hurt Yaska a good deal while doing so...too bad
  ^_^.  Focus all your big guns on them until all three are dead, which will
  instantly make this fight a lot more manageable.
     What to do next is up to you.  Suffer Yaska's attacks and run around with
  Cloud collecting treasure, or just take him out quickly.  Depends on how
  badly you want the items...they are pretty good, though.

    Don't bring anyone Gold element to this battle, even Ryorin.  Nagini has a

  it; not only will it reveal the treasures, but it should charm about half
  your enemies.  Kill Nagini quick, before she starts getting to you.
  Thankfully, the first thing she does is charge right into the middle of

    This map is unfortunately small.  Deva's attacks aren't as strong as
  Nagini's, but they do nasty things like poison you; and those bugs and
  ghouls are exactly where they need to be to keep you from getting to him.
  Worse, both of those Harpies are healers, which means you may not be able
  to take out those bugs on the first round.
    Your second round will likely consist of you injuring Deva little, but you
  should at the least be able to finish off the bugs/harpies.  Just completely
  ignore those Ghouls coming up the other side; the fight will over, one way
  or the other, by the time they reach you.  With his support gone, Deva is
  vulnerable; launch everything you have at him, particularly such powerful
  attacks as Lightning, Charmblade, or Arrowstrike.  He has a lot of HP, but
  without his friends thereto absorb damage he'll be losing it at a phenomenal
  rate.  Keep it up, and you'll have him finished off by the end of turn 3/4 -
  or you'll know that, in a few more turns, he'll have done the same to you.

    Garda is truly dangerous.  All of her attacks have an MO better than 100,
  and two of them hit very wide areas. Beware; particularly for anyone aligned
  with Gold.  You start off in the worst possible place on the map, almost
  surrounded by your enemies.
    Your best bet is to charge forward recklessly (yeah, yeah, I know). Aim at
  taking down those two Sorcerers, and then ignore all else and focus all your
  fire on Garda.  The map is small, so you'll be all bunched together for her
  most of the time - but she doesn't have anywhere to run.  Keep up the
  presure, something has to give, and think heavily about bringing both Gojo
  and Reikan to this battle.  Being Water elemental, they'll automatically be
  strong to her attacks, and their magicks will damage her more.

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Asura
 BOSS: 1800 HP
   This is easily one of the most interesting last bost fights I've ever seen,
  and a good challenge.  I suggest you try at least once to beat it on your
  own; even if you lose, you'll enjoy it.  I guarantee.
    Still need help?  Read on:
    Those crystals are extremely difficult to get to.  You've probably noticed
  that by now.  The best route to getting them is to use Goku's cloud.  You
  don't destroy them in case you're wondering; you have to Use them. Have Goku
  cloud around the edges destroying crystals while your main party handles
  Azura and his minions.
    See that sorcerer on the upper left?  He has Ultra Poison.  Trust me on
  this and kill him as quickly as you are physically able, or he will make you
  regret it.  Not only does it do a ton of damage, but it poisons you as well
  (in case you hadn't gathered that =P).  Asura himself has Divine Bolt and
  Inferno, both very good spells.  Once you've taken out his minions, array
  your party into a mostly-cross (one of your people, who is Were, shouldn't
  be in it).  Asura will waste his time attacking the cross with one of his
  two attacks; just keep group healing it, and you should be fine.  Once Goku
  takes out the last crystal, break apart and let fly with everything you have
  on Asura.
    If Cho Hakkai knows Ultra Tusk, use it.  It'll shorten the fight.  If he
  doesn't, don't sweat it; most of your damage comes from other sources. Asura
  has lots of HP, but even he won't last long under the constant smashing of
  an entire group of enemies.  Good luck!

 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat ???
 BOSS: 2800 HP
    I would have preferred to leave this section out entirely, but this is an
  extremely hard fight, and people might well need some help with it. So while
  I'm forced to ruin the surprise of their being another fight, I'll keep its
  origins as shrouded in mystery as I can.  You can try and guess as to just
  who you get to fight now =)
    First off, ignore the "peripheral" enemies completely.  Aim all your fire
  at the "main" one.  It has tons of HP, but trust me - if you try to kill the
  others, you'll die long before you accomplish your goal.  Smack it with
  everything you have, and only heal those near death.  You'll probably lose
  nearly a character a round during this fight, but as long as you keep up the
  pressure, you'll win regardless.  If you have enough MP, or a bunch of MP
  regaining stuff equipped, you may want to try and keep everyone's HP up with
  UltraLife, but that only lasts so long.  Don't bother summoning a Guardian -
  Lightning is stronger - and don't turn into a Were, unless its to use Ultra
  Tusk.  Oh, and Arrowstrike doesn't work on him >_<.
    Good luck, and God Speed!

    I hate this solution, but it's the only one that fits.  In each of the
Guardian formulas you'll find a number "K."  This number is always roughly 50,
but varies by -/+ 5 randomly.  It's set anew with each level up.

    What causes me to draw this bizarre conclusion?  At level 26, K is 49.  At
level 42, it's 47.  At level 45, its 51.  At level 53, its 50 even. As my level
(and hence stats) increased, it went down, then up, then down again, and by non
linear amounts.  If you can find a better explanation for this behavior, please
feel free to email me at [email protected].  I have much more data than this
that I'd be happy to supply you with.

Beating all the Dojo's earns you the best potion in the game, the Gallant Ale.
Though it can only be used on male characters, it has the effect of permanently
raising their War stat by 8.

To "Beat a Dojo," you must defeat the battle there one Master level.  In order
to gain access to the Master level, your lowest level character must be on the
level of the Advanced enemies at that Dojo.  One Dojo has an error, allowing
level 28 people to fight the master that should have required level 30, but
that only shows up once.

If you've been trying to play that card game and find that time after time you
just seem to lose everything - even after a particular streak of doing very
well - you're in luck.

The key to the card game lies in two things: a basic knowledge of statiscs, and
the fact that the computer doesn't benefit from Combos - but that you do.  Your
enemy has roughly equal chances of winning, no matter what you do; so your goal
is to play the cards with the greatest odds of scoring you a combo.  The law of
averages says that everytime you do, you'll come out ahead that many coins on
the average.

In general, good bets are Sanzo, a Guardian, Goku, Kikka, Butterfly Queen, and
Great Ape cards.  If none of those are available, none of what you bet on will
make much difference.  The Brass Dragon Card is a decent bet if your enemy has
something of a lower number, but don't count on it.  Just keep racking up the
combos - and betting conservatively - and you'll steadily pull ahead of the
dealer.

and try to leave.  You'll be stopped, and Cho Hakkai will learn a new recipe.

    Eggrolls: Yuimen Shop
    Rice: Biku Dojo
    Mongolian Beef: Kucha Smith
    Chinese Jelly: Infidel City Chemist

Once you have them all, head to the Post at Tokhara.  On your way out, the

to your movement).  They also change from a normal attack to an area attack;
for instance, Goku's winds up able to hit three enemies at once, and Kikka's
gains a cross radius.  To get it, go to the following places:

    Smith, Midnight Tor
    Dojo, Midnight Tor
    Chemist, Frontier City
    Post, Port Town

At the very first location, forge someone's weapon up to level 5 and then try
to forge it again.  For the others, just enter and try to leave the area.  This
will open up the Isle of Ceylon.

 MAP: Helmet Peak
 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat all enemies
    This fight will likely be nothing like the others you've foughten at this
  map, for three reasons.  The first is that there're no rocks above your head
  waiting to squish you.  The second is the your enemies will happily leave
  their lofty perch, so you don't have to climb all the way up the mountain.
  The third is all the treasure!
 ENEMIES: 2x Ghoul
          2x Centipede
          2x Crowman
          2x Dinoman
 TREASURES: (9,3)  Speed Potion
            (4,2)  Nothing
            (8,11) Wisdom Potion
            (0,13) Strength Potion

Emperor is the strongest of the Summons. To get him, you have to collect all of
the Emperor equipment inchapters 1&2 (see the walkthrough for further details).
For clearness' sake, here's a short list:

    Emperor Helmet, Battle 9
    Emperor Armor,  Battle 11
    Emperor Band,   Battle 19
    Emperor Soul,   Battle 27

Note that the Emperor's Crown does not belong to this set; the ' sets it apart.
Its still a great piece of equipment, but unnecessary for getting Emperor.
During Chapter 2, before Storm Mountain, speak to the chemist at Pine City with
the first three pieces.  After a brief scene, he tells you the location of the
soul.  Then, during Chapter 3, visit the Dojo in Port Town and try to leave.
After a brief scene, you're told to leave for Ice Peak.

 MAP: Ice Peak
 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat all enemies
    Your enemies like you.  That is to say, if you sit tight on the ridge you
  start on, they'll collect in that little valley en masse given a couple of
  turns. At that point, let loose with your area attacks - of which you should
  have plenty; stalgmite, inferno, ultra poison, blazeball, chef's paradise,
  just to name a few of the better ones - and watch them die.  Heaven's Garden
  is also rather convenient when they line up like that...
 ENEMIES: 3x Harpy
          2x Dinoman
          2x Crowman
          2x Sorcerer
 TREASURES: N/A

After this battle, you'll gain access to the ultimate summon: Emperor.  Enjoy!

    You get Kinrei and Ginrei just by following my guide, but just in case,
 here's how to _miss_them:

    "After Yuimen, go south. And after reaching Helmet Peak, before you
 continue to Mt. Cloud, take the north route. In north route, after reaching
 Infidel City, don't continue to Mt. Cloud, but go back to Yuimen. Go to dojo
 there, after you want to quit, the dojo master said there was someone
 looking for a girl, and the description he gave like Ryorin. But the dojo
 master and his follower has give them a "lesson"^_^. I don't remember
 exactly what he said, but something like that. So, just take the south
 route to Mt. Cloud, and Reikan will ambush you in Helmet Peak. Yeah, I
 wrote Helmet Peak, not Mt. Cloud. After that battle he will join you. Maybe
 there's a simple way, to trigger the Yuimen dojo master to say those words,
 but I don't know it."

  Its worth noting that Kinrei's Arrowstrike skill is phenomenally useful, but
 only works in conjunction with Ginrei.  If Kinrei is standing next to and
 facing an enemy Ginrei attacks, Kinrei will add her Offense to the strength
 of the attack!  This is the only attack I've ever gotten to do over 450
 damage, when it criticaled from behind.

   To get Reikan, Ryorin's Fiance/suitor, visit the post at Kucha.  The man
 there should stop you on your way out to mention that you Ryorin looks a
 lot like a woman on a certain poster being touted around by a blond man.
 That would be Reikan.  Head east, and Reikan should ambush you.

 MAP: Mt. Cloud
 OBJECTIVE:  Defeat Prince Reikan
 BOSS: 460 HP
    This is not a terribly difficult fight.  No one is manning the rocks, so
  feel free to ignore them.  Reikan has a decent amount of HP, but no special
  tricks up his sleeve at all.  Squish him like the arthropod he is, the old
  fashioned way.  And when you first attack him, prepare to be amused. ^_^
 ENEMIES: 1x Reikan
          3x Wolfman
          2x Bug
          2x Lizardman
 TREASURES: N/A

   After defeating Reikan, you'll be given a choice that varies with your
 sex.  If Sanzo is male, choose not to be Ryorin's suitor; otherwise, say he
 doesn't creep you out.  If you pick the other option, or don't fight this
 optional battle, Reikan won't join after the boss fight later at Deadman's
 Gorge (see the walkthrough for further details).

              ;t;tG:

   Just taking the steps detailed in the walkthrough will get you Genshi, but
 it is possible to miss him.  To get him, just take the north path sometime
 after Kucha.  After a brief scene and a battle (#22), he'll ask you a
 question about your party members.  Answer that they're your friends, and
 he'll join.  Otherwise, all you get is an Angelfruit, which is essentially a
 Life potion (which you can buy later on).

   Taurus and Tessen are gotten just by following the walkthrough, but its
 still possible to miss them.  I have yet to confirm this the exact manner,
 but I am almost certain it deals with the branch in the road after Kucha.
   Taking them in the wrong order - or backtracking at the wrong point, as
 per Ginrei and Kinrei - will cause you to miss them.  Follow the order in
 the walkthrough, and you should be fine.
