• Sanzo's Guardians have two functions: giving a latent power that affects
the entire party and imbuing her Mercy Staff with a no-MP skill. Both of
these effects run out after she finishes her 3rd turn since casting. For
instance, Fool will imbue her with the "FlameWhip" ability, while Luna
will imbue her with the "EarthBow" ability -- the elements match up. The
special Emperor summon gives all latent powers but only the DragonWhip
ability.

• Arrowstrike is a passive skill. If Kinrei is facing an enemy that Ginrei
attacks with her bow, before the damage step she will attack it with her
sword and the damage will be factored in. This doesn't cost her any turns
or anything; however, it only works with physical attacks (not skills),
the effect may still be evaded, and the enemy must be ONE PANEL AWAY.

• MagicSink will drain a huge amount of MP and inflict Silence if possible.
However, the amount it drains doesn't reflect on the enemy's current MP,
meaning if someone has 2 MP left, Genshi will still drain 80+. Very nice!

WERECHANGE [WRCH]
___________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
All characters except Sanzo will have a Werechange option in battle. Picking
the command will turn that unit into a giant beast with specialized attacks
that run on "G" (Gauge points) instead of MP. The downside is that only one
person may be in werechange at one time, and that the gauge can't be refilled
by any method during battle. Also, the werechanged unit cannot be targeted by
ally curative spells, although s/he is immune to status effects anyway.
The Weregauge -- found in the upper-left corner of the screen -- displays the
amount of "G" left. Each time an attack is used, the gauge decreases a correct
amount of notches from right to left. When the game starts, the gauge has few
"G" in it; but, by getting Wereform points during battle, the gauge will level
up and gain more notches/"G". Leveling up the gauge often coincides with a
Guardian obtaining a new ability, which is also the only way they get them.
Here's a list of when allies learn new abilities:
Lv 04 = Howl [Great Ape]
Lv 05 = JumpQuake [Raging Boar]
Lv 07 = DarkBlade [River Lord]
Lv 08 = WingBlade [Bronze Dragon]
Lv 10 = BoarsRush [Raging Boar]
Lv 11 = BlindMist [River Lord]
Lv 11 = WindCharm [Butterfly Queen]
Lv 12 = LifeWind [Butterfly Queen]
Lv 13 = FireDance [Great Ape]
Lv 14 = Wind Scales [Bronze Dragon]
Lv 15 = DarkHole [River Lord]
Lv 17 = BriarPatch [Butterfly Queen]
Lv 18 = Slashdive [Bronze Dragon]
Lv 20 = Inferno [Great Ape]
Lv 21 = UltraTusk [Raging Boar]
Lv 24 = Milky Way [River Lord]
Lv 25 = Heaven's Garden [Butterfly Queen]
Lv 26 = EarthQuake [Raging Boar]
Lv 27 = ElectricBreath [Bronze Dragon]
Lv 30 = WereClone [Great Ape]
Using Werechange will damage all (8) panels around the user during the
transformation, breaking any items housing hidden treasure chests, such as
trees or rocks. Breakable items are denoted with a "lightning bolt" icon when
hovered over with the battlefield cursor. Note that these breakables can ONLY
be destroyed if they're in the way of the attack, meaning they're within the
area or trajectory of a targeted enemy. The good news is that some enemies'
werechange-like forms can also destroy these panels, so baiting them into
doing the footwork can be a boon in getting those chest contents earlier.

ATTACK TYPES [ATKT]
___________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Various weapons/abilities have certain "attack types".
Bow # : Attacks unit at the bow's current range
Ring : Attacks all (8) adjacent panels around current spot
Area 0 : Targets self only, Range: 0
Area 1 : Plus-shaped (+) 5-panel damage
Area 2 : Star-shaped (+) 13-panel damage
Touch # : Attacks an adjacent unit
Straight: Attacks an adjacent unit (2/3-panel) but has no piercing effect
Area is easy to determine. If something is "Area: X" in type, it goes "X" in
all straight directions and (X-1) diagonally. So for Area: 0, it targets only
oneself; for Area 2, see the diagram below.
AREA 1 AREA 2 [ETC.]

ELEMENTAL AFFINITY [ELMN]
___________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Each character has an elemental affinity, meaning s/he is of that element and
excels at scrolls of that type, as well as getting the most growth in that
type. For instance, Sanzo is Life (also called Wood in-game) type and will
excel at healing and nature-type abilities; however, s/he won't get very good
growth in Gold/Water types without accessories to help boost them.
These elemental affinities affect how potent the scrolls are, as well as what
scrolls can be equipped. For instance, UltraPoison is Water Lv21 and can only
be equipped on those of high water affinity, such as Sa Gojo or Chin Genshi.
Thus, it pays to know the units' abilities and help improve their weakpoints
via accessories that boost growth.
The only anomaly to the strongpoint/weakpoint argument is Chin Genshi, who
is very strong in all areas. At Lv39 for instance, without boosting, he has
at least 17 in his worse points (Gold) and 28 in his best (Wood/Life). He's
great at magic-casting which should make him a prime-time player.

STATUS EFFECTS [STEF]
___________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There are only five status effects in this game, and all of them (except
Stone) will "time out" after three turns -- this goes for the enemy also.
Stone status can only be cured with a Destone Potion. Some abilities, such
as Cure, refresh the player's non-Stone status, while others like WaterHeal,
target a specific status (in this case Poison) and remove it.
_________ __________________________________________ ______________________

| Numb | Unit is paralyzed and can't attack/evade | Cure Potion, 3 Turns |
| Charm | Unit attacks allies only | Cure Potion, 3 Turns |
| Stone | Unit petrified and can't attack/evade | Destone Potion |

Some towns will have a 'Smith' which will increase a Guardian's weapon for a
fee. This is the only way to increase Guardians' weapons' attack power; but,
each town often can only bring them up one level at a time. Sanzo's Mercy
Staff is the only weapon which upgrades in another fashion, and that's by
collecting Guardians. Also of note, a Guardian can achieve 'Max' level on
his/her weapon by using Star Ore during Chapter 3; however, only one unit's
able to do this so the player must choose wisely. Here's a table of costs --
see the weapon section for more information on upgrades.

CHAPTER 0: Prologue
CHAPTER 1: Journey's Companions
After starting the game, the player can choose a character. Unlike similar
games that gives this choice between allies (like Threads of Fate), there's
no significant change. The boy's name will be Genjo and adopts the name Sanzo
for the upcoming journey; the girl will do the same. So, in essence, pick one
y'like and start the thing up! Short synopsis: the Goddess Kannon appears to
Genjo in a dream and asks him/her to visit the Thunder Temple in India, using
a special staff as a way to meet Guardians along the way. After some scenes,
the first battle in the game starts.

|_____________________________________|
Since this battle is a tutorial of sorts, the voice from the rock will guide
Sanzo on how to give the enemies the temporary slip. Move toward the log
bridge and cross it, standing on the G-05 tile of the map. Pick "Use" from
the menu and select the bridge to make it fall -- now the foes have to go
around.
Get the item and kill the imp near the rock. At this point, Sanzo can grab
the crest...OR, take advantage of the high ground and kill the wolfmen for
easy experience. The heal spell is learned from the start, so take advantage
of it. Remember that the higher the player is, the more damage is done;
inversely, the lower the enemy is, the less damage they do. Just make sure to
stand on the edge of the rock so none of the opposition get on level ground.
The Centipedes' DEF will be too high for them to be killed, probably, so end
the session after murdering the weaker wolfmen.
---
Afterwards, Son Goku joins the team!

hidden Turban on a hilltop rock, while a Cure
Potion can be found in the rock nearest Sanzo's starting position. Goku will
have little problem dealing with the enemies, but as RPGs go, the enemy likes
to target the weakest link first...and that's Sanzo. S/he can take over 80
damage a turn if the enemy gangs up on her -- remember Bandits have ranged
attacks. Thieves have great movement rage, so wait for them to draw near and
try to damage as many as possible with Werechange. If the enemies are putting
the team in a bind (Sanzo should be healing every turn every turn), use the
battlefield boundary as a way to prevent the ruffians from getting closer.
Note that to get both hidden items, Goku must use 'Werechange' while in his
Great Ape state to conserve what's left of the gauge for the 2nd item.
---
Equip the Turban on Son Goku if it was obtained and head to the first town on
the long trek.

After observing a scene where a journeyman chef named Cho Hakkai is fired
from his job, Sanzo can't help but find him and see what's going on. But, a
town pitstop can never be as simple as that...

K | -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | Hakkai will join in for this battle but
|__________________________________| cannot be controlled ('Guest' state).
He has a lot of HP at this point; Sanzo
shouldn't need to babysit him by healing...but don't get too far away that he
might need it! Use Werechange to destroy the water jug at H-07 and get the
Magic Potion, and have Sanzo work around the house's side to get the Leather
Jerkin chest by the creek. Alternatively, destroy the water jug and enemies
nearby, then block the bridge with Goku so Sanzo can steal the jerkin without
annoyances. Cho Hakkai tends to alternate with Rockdrop and physical attacks,
and should prove useful in either decision.
---
The new, piggish friend will join the party afterwards. Unlike battlefields
previously visited, towns currently accessible can be entered from the world
map. The shops here will provide equipment on par with what's available, as
well as selling 'special' items (at Store). I suggest getting a 2nd Leather
Jerkin for the male character who doesn't have one, and the Ironskin scroll
(Raise DEF in-battle) for Hakkai, the only one who can equip/use it at the
moment.
There is also a dojo to be fought. There are two levels always available:
Beginner and Advanced. However, the dojo master can be fought if the party
is of proper level (usually on par with enemies in the Advanced course). Beat
the dojo master and receive a license which is used in a sidequest later on.
Note that while EXP is gained during the fights, cash isn't; also, Werechange
options can't be used either! Bring several Healing/Magic Potions with, rely
on multi-enemy attacks, and use the battlefield boundary to prevent attacks
at all sides. [NOTE: The team may not be powerful enough to fend off 9 foes
so this can be done later as well.]

If the Leather Helmet chest is wanted, move Son Goku near the shore and use
the 'Cloud' skill to immediately bridge the gap to the small island. Spend a
few turns using Werechange then collect it and have him join the fray. As for
the other two, stay on the high ground when attacking. Ryorin will retreat to
the island after attacking, but don't follow her -- it just makes one a bit
more vulnerable on her next strike. Heal as normal and use Ironskin if able,
which should help some.

|__________________________________| ends if he's slain, so there's no time
to waste -- most enemies are nearest
him, anyway. Lizardmen are the new enemy and aren't too special, acting in the
same capacity as an archer. If Gojo gets in trouble, Ryorin's Werechange form
(Black Dragon) can go over the large rocks on either side of the spring, and
is ideal or helping him quickly. Other than that, the items around here aren't
that special besides the Monk's Cap which is currently unbuyable (but soon
won't be). Battle ends when the guest reaches the end of the road near where
the allies started. Defeating all enemies isn't really possible as new ones
appear near the pond after several turns. Both Hakkai and Ryorin are able to
use Ironskin spells by (apx.) Lv5, so that should help somewhat, particularly
for the latter.

Surprisingly, Sa Gojo doesn't join immediately afterwards like the others!

Sanzo will mention that s/he can use the "Summon" command now. Doing so will
let Mother help her out for three turns, in which all allies recover HP and
Sanzo's will gain the 0-MP "CharmBlade" physical attack. Pulling back to
prevent the enemy from clobbering everyone is wise, and once Ironskin and
such things are cast, going after Nyoi is recommended (EXP can always be
obtained in Trianing, remember). Flymen can use the "Bramble" and "Cure"
skills, while Nyoi has a long-range attack called "LifeSteal". With so many
enemies able to pick away at Sanzo from the start, staying back is actually
a good idea. Since the Flymen will heal Nyoi if his HP gets too low, it's
best to take them out immediately if in range. LifeSteal costs 32 MP, so the
boss can only cast it thrice.
---
Nyoi flees after being routed, but Sa Gojo will join up! Save when possible
and the new route west will open up. It's worth noting that, with the new
5-person party, getting the dojo license from Ko Lodge is a lot easier (not
to mention the Mother summon is great!).
The Mire River is the next destination.

Q | -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | isn't any time to waste -- bring the monk toward

S | -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | Cloud spell is especially useful in closing the
T | -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | gap, just as Ryorin's draconic Werechange. Also
|_________________________| worth noting is that Gojo will regain HP so long
as he's in the water, and also gets uninhibited
movement unlike others -- all thanks to the WaterMeld skill!
Now the two enemies of particular attention are the Centipede and Rhinon. The
former appeared early but didn't have to be defeated. It's got high defense
but is a little easier to defeat once it's forced into the water. Rhinon, the
boss here, will use "IronRing" to reduce all allies' stats for a bit, making
it slightly harder to get by. Counteract this somewhat by making everyone
except Gojo stand on a rock, where most trudging enemies will have their
attacks reduced. Rhinon can only cast it once, but his physical attack has a
3-panel range that can be rather damaging if left alone. Gojo's WaterBlade
attack can reduce the target's offensive abilities, which is perfect for
taming Rhinon...for 3 turns at least. By using the Mother summon and Ironskin
on a few characters, soldier on until IronRing wears off and things'll be a
lot easier. [Werechanging removes IronRing's effects apparently.] Battle ends
when Rhinon is defeated.
---
Naturally, the goofy boss escapes to live another day. Save once back on the
world map and re-enter the river area to find a town. Check out the shop and
give some Chain Mail to Ryorin and outfit the rest of the party accordingly.
In addition, a few new options are available in town: Smith & Post.
'Smith' allows Sanzo's companions (ONLY) to upgrade their weapons' attack
abilities. Spending lots of cash here is easy by taking the Post jobs, but
at the very least, upgrade Shu Ryorin's as her attacks are rather paltry and
undermine her physical non-Werechange skills. Sanzo's staff powers up via
finding Guardians (used in conjunction with Summon command, that is) and is
not applicable for the service. Only one weapon level-up per person here!
'Post' allows the team to gain some cash by doing odd jobs and deliveries.
Once they go to the town/etc. and complete the job, return to the lodge where
the task was given out and 'Report' for pay! Pretty simple, although some jobs
run the risk of bandit attacks. Here are the current jobs:

into River Lord to spam Mist/DarkBlade. Birdmen should be new units as far as
mandatory battles go, but they're just flying sword-users -- nothing special.
Madame P. Ivy is an archer type, and thus isn't that powerful at level ground.
She also knows RockShield which is just basically "Ironskin" that can be cast
on a nearby ally. Overall, pretty easy given the geography of the place.

Son Goku's Cloud ability will rock the house here, and he should be the one
to get the Emperor Helmet since whoever tries to can't get back up the way
s/he came. Summon Mother like normal of course, and just take Goku up to the
platform Mahoraga's on for a Werechange. Howl is a great technique to use up
there as it inflicts Numb quite easily. Mahoraga can use WaterHeal as well,
so don't waste any time! The boss takes diminished damage from Werechange
forms, but physical damage is A-OK -- his HP may be hidden, but it's around
250, I'd imagine.
---
Finally, after the long twofer, some scenes with Lady Kikka will play...and
she joins the party! Sanzo will also get a new summon "Warrior" at this time.
Don't forget to upgrade Kikka's weapon at the Mire River smithy, or fight for
the dojo license now that the sixth ally can join the fray.
Yuimen marks China's border, so make sure to complete any unfinished business
in Tang (like dojo licenses) before leaving.

CHAPTER 2: Western Overlord
The shop here has some better upgrades, so buy them and don't forget the good
'Group Heal' scroll in the Special section. The chemist's place sells Destone
and Healing+ Potions as well, so grab a few (the former in particular). When
buying something in the store, Cho Hakkai will comment about a delicious smell
from next door and will sample some eggrolls -- this is useful as part of a
sidequest he has, so don't forget to do buy something! Lastly, the Smith here
will raise weapons to Lv2...so basically the same as in Mire River. A dojo can
be fought here as well.
On the world map, the path splits in two with the next mandatory point being
Mt. Cloud. The routes are:
PATH A: Turfan -> Firetop -> Infidel City
PATH B: Mist Mt. -> Biku ->Helmet Peak

A story of how the Lucky Temple has become a monster nest due to a spirit

an investigation... Only four allies can be brought into this next battle.

|____________________________|
There are five splotches overall, in various
corners of the room. Everyone has the 'Use' option in this case, but only
Sanzo can clean them up (the others refuse in semi-funny ways). Assuming the
player is similarly levelled and has upgraded equipment from Yuigen, the Bugs
will be pretty crappy in comparison. Most physical fighters (not Kikka/Sanzo)
with a Lv2 weapon should be able to exploit the slimy worms' mediocre DEF.
Item-wise, the Luck Stone is the only thing worth getting. If the enemies die
before the bloodspots are cleaned up, five more will appear on the following
turn...so it's best to leave one alive and go about the janitorial duties. ;p
Battle immediately ceases when the place is cleaned up properly.

The spirit departs to the afterlife and leaves behind a Spring Comb accessory
[Immune: Charm] that females can equip. A villager says that a meteor fell
near Firetop nearby, which piques the party's interest. Turfan has a chemist
and Dojo as well.

|______________________________________________| Sanzo will step on part of
the path that floats down
the lavaflow, separating him/her and Kikka/Ryorin/Hakkai from the two men
on solid ground. Enemies appear at this point and thus the problem of uniting
the party once again. Sanzo should get the Fireball scroll chest and walk
back onto the tiny 1x1 platform (H-05 on map) to reconnect the paths. In the
meantime, Werechange Ryorin and Lady Kikka so they can fly across the path to
Gojo and Goku. Hakkai will have to wait until the path is reconnected. Since
each character takes 10 damage each turn due to extreme heat in the volcano,
make sure the Mother summon is smoothing that damage over.
The new enemy here is the Conjuror, a floating-type enemy that appears in the
upper reaches of the lava "waterfall" region. It uses magic spells and has a
good vantage point due to that height differential. All three items found in
this map are worth getting, although the Charm of Defense is nestled on a
steep embankment so destroying it's a bit trickier.
The boss knows and likes to spam Rockdrop most of the time, although he has
a physical attack that can be damaging as well. His HP's hidden but it's
around 450-500, I'd guess.
---
Afterwards, a new Guardian is obtained: Fool. He'll bolster the party's ATK
stats and give Sanjo a fiery attack to boot!

recommended some were bought earlier, but if that advice wasn't heeded, one's
found in the A-00 chest in the map's corner. The Ring of Speed is the only
item to seek out for a prepared player, however.
The fighters/spearmen who surround the lower players can be taken out with
ease once a Werechange with a good ability is set in motion -- I prefer the
River Lord's Mist ability since it can also lower foes' offense. King Kobi's
Stonebell attack that may petrify a character can only be used twice, luckily,
and misses about half the time. Battle ends when Kobi's struck down.
---
The Infidel City only has a chemist & dojo. Make sure to visit the chemist,
because when the team tries to leave, Hakkai will learn the recipe for
Chinese Jelly. Anyway, now that the northern path to Mt. Cloud is open, time
to do the southern back near the Yuimen outskirts.

After a small confrontation, the team finds two parties impersonating them
and end up in a pincer attack. And really, these are some pretty pale
imitations: they are far weaker than their counterparts and have none of
their equipped magic/abilities or upgraded weapons. Fake Sanzo may use the
Bramble spell and Fake Kikka Cure/Heal, but beyond that...just crappiness.
Item-wise, there's only one useful thing to find (Needles scroll) and that's
already buyable. This should be a more interesting beatdown than normal,
though!

Only five allies can be brought into battle, and no matter the lineup, bring
Son Goku! His Cloud ability can get him to the wall switch (at J-08) that'll
lower the main gate and let everyone get in easier. He can also get to those
treasure chests a lot easier, one of which holds the rare Emperor Armor. The
Noble Hat and Strength Scroll should also be gotten at some time, as they're
too rare to leave alone.
The new enemy here is the "Operator" which use close-range punches, but
isn't that special besides. The Conjuror found near Tigra knows Fireball,
however, so that can be kind of annoying if standing close together.
Summon Mother and work on lowering the gate first, which will give easier
access to the lizardmen/operators standing on the wall. Tigra's ThunderStrike
ability has a HUGE range (3-panels in all directions) but only does about 50
damage to its targets. It costs 57 MP meaning he can only cast it thrice.
Mother and GroupHeal should be able to smooth it over, but don't stand too
close together until his MP's depleted. Battle ends when Master Tigra gets
his beatdown.
---
After defeating Tigra, the king gets "miraculously" better and gives the team
the Wind Crystal as a symbol of generosity. Apparently a meteor also fell at
Helmet Peak, the next stop down the line... Biku also has a chemist/dojo, and
Hakkai can learn a fried rice recipe from the latter (by defeating Master rank
or just choosing 'Leave'?).

huge, reaching +30 at its very
peak where Vala stands. The winding path around the mini-mountain has all the
other enemies on it. Obviously, this isn't much of a problem for Son Goku and
his magical Cloud ability, who can zoom up there to the summit. Most others
will have to hike, though. Don't worry about breaking the rocks as the foes
near the summit will push them (1 tile) off the edge and onto whichever ally
is underneath...so they probably won't survive too long.
Anyone with Rockdrop [etc.] with a max vertical height can snipe some of the
foes close to the edge, which is good, 'cause Apsara's Nightmare ability will
inflict Charm on a single-target (use Cure magic/potion) -- she can use Heal
also. On the other hand, Vala will use SoulSlash to physically damage those
in a 2-panel line from him. He should be the first target, then his weak-DEF
archer wife. When both are defeated, the battle automatically ends.

After the married thieves run off, the Guardian Luna will go into Sanzo's
staff. When summoned, she'll restore allies' MP (except Sanzo) and give the
monk a long-range archery attack. Not bad!

The Operators will know "Needles" and the Conjurors "Poison," both semi-lame
and annoying but nothing to cry about. Those foes will also congregate in one
of the two runs alongside the rocks, making them sitting ducks for area skills
like Mist or Howl (latter is very useful here).
Meanwhile, Lady Tessen's large-area skill "FireFan" simply does fire damage
in or around 50-65 damage. She has 180 MP and it costs 38, so it CAN be used
a lot, unlike other bosses' major attacks. She also uses a 2-panel weapon in
the same vein as Goku/Gojo, and it can be pretty powerful against weak-DEF
allies!

Tessen flees after battle, as expected. Next location!

Visit Kucha to learn twin girls wandered into the mountains and didn't come
out again. The shop here is great, with upgraded armor and new area-attack
scrolls like RockGuard, Fireball, etc. The Major Heal and Strength scrolls
are listed under the Special option and are good buys as well. Need cash to
buy all this good stuff? The Post is here as well! And a Smith! Make sure
to upgrade weapons, too, as Hakkai will learn the Mongolian Beef recipe after
a visit there.
Note: visiting the Post shop allows a battle to be fought with Prince Reikan
at Mt. Cloud. This has to be completed to finish any Post jobs that require
previous areas. [Battle: Lv17 Reikan, Lv16 Bug x2/Wolfman x2/Lizardman x2]
The odd thing about is that Ryorin is attacked by Reikan's minions...the heck?
Afterwards, when Sanzo's asked if she'll tell Reikan off, pick "No" if the
player wants him to join later in the game.

The natural flow of the geography has wave-like rock formations, all leading
upfield to Kinkaku...so there's little flanking to be done without bustin' up
the boulders. The new enemy here is the Ghoul, a skulking shark wannabe with
no cool characteristics. Kinkaku's StarThrow ability does about 70 damage to
the two 3-panel rows in front of where he's facing, while his Hornet skill
(huge range) does about 50-60 damage at its best. They can definitely hurt but
Mother/GroupHeal should be easy to erase the damage with. The two rare hidden
items, the necklace and comb, can both be revealed with a strategic Werechange
at I-04 -- hooray! Besides that, everyone but the lizardmen gather around
middle field and can be damaged en masse by large A:3 Werechange skills and
similar scrolls. When Kinkaku is defeated (HP: ~500), the battle automagically
concludes.
The real culprit behind Kinkaku is revealed at this point, and another battle
follows immediately afterward at the nearby Lotus Cave.

the cave can suck in a
person and remove them from the fight entirely. The Operator next to it is
the one controlling it, though, so once it's defeated, there's no worry of
anymore annoyances. Son Goku's Cloud skill is pretty much the best way (as
usual) to get there quickly. Besides that predicament, the other enemies are
normal type. Ginkaku's Laser skill can shoot across the screen and damage in
a long 4-panel-width beam...that can mean MAJOR trouble, so hopefully there
are some potions to undo the 65-80 damage most will incur. The only good
thing about this battle is that the gourd ISN'T used regularly enough for it
to be a major threat. In the meantime, try to Poison/Charm any enemies to
reduce the per-turn damage as it may be crucial to do so. When Ginkaku's
defeated, the battle ceases. And it shouldn't need to be said, but...SPREAD
OUT IN ALL DIRECTIONS AROUND GINKAKU, YO! [NOTE: Laser does factor in height,
so keeping Kikka up high and the rest spread out below does help a bit.]
---
At this point, return back to Kucha and Kinrei/Ginrei will join the party! It
should've been pretty obvious that they would, huh? They join as Guardians
and have the same equipment options, but already come with Lv3 weapons! Yay!
I suggest giving the two girls some new scrolls, the best of which is Poison
and Spearthrust.
The path once again splits ahead, like so:
PATH C: Cherchen -> Dragon Cliff -> Tokhara
PATH D: Windy Peak -> Inns Town -> Tokhara
They're both the same length, but the meteor was said to have fallen at
Dragon Cliff, so one may want to take that path first. Like before, both ways
can be taken.

|__________________________________| This level should bring back memories,
as it's just the flip of Ko Lodge's
rice paddy location. This would be a normal battle but Master Ko uses his
magic to turn Sanzo into "Tiger Sanzo," who will attack her allies; however,
if she's defeated she dies, so that can't happen. The player will have to
use someone else for healing (Kikka?). Block the bridge first and foremost,
using long-range skills and piercing scrolls like Spearthrust to weaken the
enemies at once. Master Ko also uses Gold-type skills like that and will use
Steelskin first usually, so he should be left alone until it wears off. I
suggest using Son Goku to get the treasure chest via Cloud so the bridge can
be hammered with Werechange attacks. If Sanzo's attacks are wearing everyone
down (which they shouldn't, since they do about the same as a normal attack),
use Ironskin or its variants. Battle ends when Master Ko's kaput. [It can be
really fun to use Cloud and get on the house's roof to drop Fireballs an'
stuff!]
---
Once Ko flees the coop, Cherchen can be explored. There's just a dojo and
chemist shop like usual for these one-horse towns. Visit the chemist and he
will give Ginrei/Kinrei some apple candy...doesn't do anything, though, but
it's funny!

Guardian before the enemy can
prevent it. Cavalier increases everyone's movement and makes Sanzo float, so
she can escape faster, as well as giving a Guardian poleaxe attack.
Now, Sanzo and Ryorin will be near the summit in the NE corner while everyone
else is left in the lower reaches. Move Ryorin next to Nagisi and then have
Sanzo summon Cavalier, which should help everyone in the southeast get toward
her position faster. Son Goku's Cloud, like always, is great in bridging the
gap quickly. The one thing that gnarled, meandering path has working for the
party is that trudging enemies bunch up quickly, and prevent them from going
all out on someone.
Nagisi knows Fireball and Blazedart, and the Conjuror near her will repeatedly
use Heal on himself/her until his MP runs out...lame! Werechanging up there
and getting someone to attack both at once is the quickest way, since the
baddie won't Heal himself unless Nagisi's already doing fine. After Cavalier
runs out, switch to Mother and things should go smoother. Battle ends when
Nagisi's defeated.

N | -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | will raise some of the rocks in the
O | -- -- -- Rk -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | middle of the field. As the team
P | -- Pd Pd Pd -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | ponders their use, Windy appears and
Q | -- Pd Pd Pd -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | sends his max-range tornado attack
R | -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Rk -- -- -- -- | toward them. This should tip the
S | -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- | player off pretty easily: raising
|_____________________________________| the rocks will null his tornadoes!
That tornado attack is "StunWind," which as its name implies, may inflict
Numb on the allies. Since it's max-range type, he can simply fire and forget,
hitting anyone way across the field without too much problem. The easiest way
to get Windy is to bunch everyone on the lee side of a rock, letting all the
enemies come in closer. Drop some area magic like Fireball on the swarming
opposition, weakening them until the boss approaches. StunWind is a 3-panel
spell, meaning it's deadly at long-range, but when surrounded, it can only hit
one person; the same thing goes for putting one person on either side of a
rock. Since it goes in a straight line, diagonally-situated characters can
avoid it easily. It costs 53 MP, Windy has 290 MP, ergo it can be used five
times maximum. Whew! Proceeding is much easier if Sanzo (or whoever has the
best healing spells) is given the Wind Crystal accessory which nulls Numb
status.
Item-wise, the Charm of Magic is the only item worth getting, and it's kinda
out-of-the-way on this huge map. It heals 5 MP each turn so it's definitely
worth seeking out.

as well. Chin Genshi recovers 10 MP after each of his turns, which he'll use
to fuel his spells (Major Heal, Cure, etcetera). Other than that, RoseWhip
is a small area spell that inflicts damage and maybe Numb. Make sure to get
the Charm of Health hidden in one of the rocks as it'll refill HP each turn
to its user. When Genshi is defeated, he'll immediately turn into the Tree
Lord (!), his Wereform. This one's got about 500 HP to slog away at. His
Autumn Blades ability (Area 2) can be rather damaging but if all enemies're
already defeated, it's not a hard feat to beat the crap out of the Master.

Back in Inns Town, Kikka will be healed by the angel fruit and Master Genshi
will join the party (if Goku didn't eat the fruit from earlier) when Sanzo
gets the option to pick "They're my friends!". He joins with a bunch of Wood

Cavalier isn't required but it can certainly help in this case. Master Baa's
single-target Meteor spell can do about 100, which can be reduced with the
ShakeShield spell. It costs 41/210 MP and can only be used five times, even
less if MagicSink is used (yes, he can be Silenced, too!). Battle ends when
the boss is defeated.

|__________________________________| Hey, a level with a destroyable log!
Been awhile since we last saw one of
these. Although the above map doesn't describe it very well, there are two
ridges combined by a log bridge, with enemies appearing on both (boss is on
opposite). Destroying the bridge means whoever falls with it will have to
go all the way around the lower canyon and reappear up by Kid Pyric. Some
of the enemies will use upgraded scrolls like Needlemist, but it shouldn't be
at the same damage level as the allies' abilities.
Kid Pyric's specialty is the Firebomb skill (long-range, Area: 2) and does
about 60-80 damage to those it hits. It costs a whopping 72 MP to cast, and
thus can only be used 4 times maximum. Tch! Dropping the log and using Cloud
to get over near the King's Helmet -- the only item worth getting, really --
is a good idea. Also worth noting is that the boss can be Silenced...what a
loser! Nothing like dropping him off the log bridge, silencing him, and
sniping him with spells while he's helpless below. =p

|__________________________________| The "original six" allies are mandatory
for the battle, and Ryorin will start
across the ridge in a "Numb" state. It's basically the same battle as before
except the boss is the turtle Were and they'll all start attacking Ryorin.
Reikan knows "IceBreath" which is a long beam attack (~80dmg), while RipFang
will heavily damage a single target and heal 'Turtle the same. If Hakkai got
the "Chef's Paradise" scroll, it can be pretty useful here in clearing the
way. Using Son Goku's Cloud ability to get a Cure Potion to Ryorin helps a
lot, also. The boss about 1000 HP to take away, and battle stops when that
happens.

Reiken will join the party afterwards, provided he was fought at Mt. Cloud
previously (non-mandatory) and Sanzo said s/he liked him. He'll join up with
some good stuff like the IceBlade skill but will need to have his weapon put
to Lv4. Pine City's shops have some upgrade stuff, most notably the scrolls
IceBlades/Rose Whip which can inflict Numb...FINALLY, right? Also, talk with
the chemist guy -- he'll comment on the three pieces of Emperor armor you've
collected (if they were) and how the fourth and last piece is at Storm Mt.,
stolen by Taurus' brigade.

|_____________________________________| The battle starts with the team in
a small mountain path, flanked by
enemies on the two sides around it. Each side has one vantage point onto it
(down the path), so en route, make sure to snipe the annoying Lizardmen with
various scroll magic. The good thing on this end is that the clifftops aren't
high enough to prevent most magic, so all those new types (IceBlades!) that
should've been bought recently don't have their ranges constrained. Son Goku
can use Cloud and start beating the crap out of 'em, as is his usual strategy.
The Cavalier summon may help, but Mother might be more useful given the things
detailed above.
Scorpio has a couple moves: ToxicCut which does damage and inflicts Poison,
and Ironcut is just large damage. Butterfly Queen's LifeWind attack can be a
great way to mass-heal, given how annoying Poison can be. Otherwise, try to
avoid being massively congregated in the narrow passageways and try to gain
the upper hand in height to reduce Scorpio's attack range. Item-wise, there
Charm of Defense+ is yet unbuyable and can be useful. Battle ends after about
600 damage to Lady Tessen.
Afterwards...MORE BATTLING! OH NO!

• Lv27 Master Baa - 500 HP/220 MP
• Lv27 Old Man Nyoi - 330 HP/250 MP
This is the "masterful" trap that was built. If you've ever played the game
"Pipe Dream," this is similar except the boulder rolls horizontally. Let me
explain. There is a movable "boulder roller" at J-18 that will set a boulder
into the course. It will continue to roll until it hits a side-path at which
time it MUST roll that way. It's pretty easy to figure out given the example
"test run" the team does before battle. If a boulder hits an ally, s/he
suffers 100-120 damage; on the flipside, enemies can be damaged like this
as well. Rather than moving the ball-roller all the time (although it does
eventually), the "crossbar" bridges that span the 3 longest paths may switch
around, which changes the whole rolling configuration. Tracing a trajectory
with the map cursor may be a good way to figure out who's in harm's way.
Now, as for the enemies -- they all have their same old skills. Windy should
be the first target given his max-range "StunWind" attack that will only be a
huge nuisance. Fake Sanzo will play the healer so try to inflict Silence in
the meantime and beat the crap out of Jiko (i.e. the person Fake Sanzo is).
Tigra and Master Baa are simple damage-dealers, while Rhinon uses IronRing to
reduce all allies' OFF. Old Man Nyoi uses LifeSteal and can Numb targets,
too. The Mother summon will be very useful here, but basically, I think as
long as there are a couple allies taking clerical duties (GroupHeal!) and
some potion+'s in the inventory, these guys won't be as tough as one may
remember (ThunderStrike in particular). Battle ends when all former bosses
are removed...permanently.

The new enemy here is the Sorceror, which is basically a Conjuror with more
HP and better spell selection. The Operators will run the cannons but those
emplacements can be destroyed by Werechanging -- both have a potion+ under
them. But, the main attraction is getting the Emperor Soul in Taurus' throne,
which is the last piece to the "collect all Emperor" pieces sidequest. None
of the lampshade-lookin' things have items so avoid bothering with 'em. The
boss himself isn't that awesome but has a powerful physical attack (150+!)
that shouldn't be underestimated. Taurus will evolve into his Wereform after
his 700 HP is depleted, but if there are no minions around, beating the crap
out of his Great Bull state should be extremely simple. It's just a matter
of having enough resources to cure and such (for MeltDown, BullRush, etc.)
Battle ends when the Great Bull (apx 700 HP) is made to heel.
---
And so ends the amazing trifecta of battles at Storm Mountain. Taurus and
Tessen will join the party (!!) in all their glory. Make sure to upgrade both
of their weapons to Lv4 before proceeding to the Frontier City, as it will
end the chapter. Do all those dojo/post things that might've been put off!!!!
[NOTE: Since Sanzo's staff was swiped, she can't summon Guardians anymore!]

called "StoneBlood" which is right at home in most Dirt types' repertoires.
The smith here only does Lv4 things, and the Chemist has all the best potion+
types as well.

on...well, makes the player
go to the lower section. It's got a capacity of one, which should be obvious.
Pretty easy to get in some potshots from above before descending, also, and
Goku can have time to get the only chest in the north section.
The new enemy here is the "Dinoman" which is basically a souped-up Lizardman
who still uses a bow, just with a bigger range. Also, as usual for these lava
caves, all ally units take 10 damage/turn. Kid Pyric uses the same attack as
before (Firebomb, 72/320 MP) which is basically a copy of his mom's FireFan,
just with a smaller range. It does about 80-100 damage which is pathetic at
this stage in the game. Battle ends when Pyric gets a beatdown.

Mahoraga's giant anaconda form can teleport around which gives it the upper
hand in movement of any unit thus far. Icicle Breath is like Mad Turtle's
"IceBreath" in range and damage, and PoisonTouch is like River Lord's "Mist"
ability, except it can inflict poison instead of OFF Down. The boss has about
800-900 HP to hack away.

Plenty of good stuff here. There's a special scene at the chemist & store
to see, and upgraded area-effect scrolls. They're all high-level but very
worth it (Swordmist in particular). Nothing else besides upgraded armor for
Sanzo, which s/he should get ASAP. Also: Lv5 smithy.
The smithy here can start part of the "Star Ore" sidequest. First off, pick
a character (not Sanzo) and upgrade their weapon to Lv5; afterwards, try to
upgrade it once more and the smith will comment on how Star Ore has special
powers. After, visit the town dojo and try to leave -- the Master comments
on how the team's weapons are insufficient and talks about how his grandpa
told him about it. That grandpa's the Chemist in Frontier City, so visit
there next. He'll dismiss everyone as being rude but drops a hint about the
eastern sea.... The last step will be done at Port Town!

power, basically. All other enemies have
appeared at least once, but still, watch out for the Sorcerors' mean area-
-effect attacks (also: StoneBlood!). Since the geography would make the
allies head toward the base of the cliff, it's a lot easier to make the
enemies hoof it to the small hilltop the good guys start at. Midnight Tor's
Lv5 smithy can really make short work of these suckers, luckily.
Deva uses high-level scrolls like WinterBreath so have healing methods
(GroupHeal?) ready to counter. The boss has about 1200+ HP, and since most
of his lackeys should've been killed by the time he arrives down there, it
can be smooth sailing as he gets ganged up on. The special skill DemonBlade
can do about 100 in a line...funny how he touts the skill as hot stuff. It
hits the 6 panels in front of him and can be easily avoided if surrounded
properly.

the best in the game. It's non-elemental

so on. It has an "alright" 45-MO line attack but really, its latent functions
are the drawing.
---
If one's done the first three steps of the Star Ore sidequest -- don't worry,
they can still be done now -- visit the Post in Port Town and a drunk will
talk about how he and his friends went to an island and only he came back.
This will open up Ceylon (i.e. Sri Lanka) off India's coast.
Once the Post jobs are done and the allies upgraded satisfactorily, head to
the next spot north of Port Town...

watch out either way.

Afterwards, the Star Ore will be found and can be used to upgrade one ally's
Lv5 weapon to "MAX" in Port Town. Make sure to choose carefully and check out
the weapon section for more information on maxed-out weapons. Upgrading in
this way is also FREE! Now, or before going to the Thunder Temple after doing
Kannaoj, is a good time to fight all the dojo masters, assuming that all up
to this point have been fought. The last one here in Port Town should be
available when every character is level THIRTY-EIGHT (38). Yes, that can be
quite a lot of grinding. Finishing the last dojo results in a Gallant Ale
reward, which is a consumable item that increases a male character's WAR stat
by 8.

This tiny map is pretty easy to fight in, and was first seen way back in the
2nd chapter (during a special job). The Dinomen start in the "B" row and
can thus hit any one below them with their 6-panel range, given the chance.
Don't rush to the cliff base; let the enemies come down and betray their
advantages.
Vala's ShadowCut is the exact same as Ryorin's "Slashdive", and that's the
main attack the guy uses. Since he situates himself toward the base of the
cliff, surrounding him on 3 sides is a good idea. The boss has about 1000 HP
to slash away.
---
The mountain pass ahead will have crumbled, preventing way to Kannaoj. Return
back to Port Town and the player will have to pick someone (Hakkai/Gojo) who
will stay behind and protect Sanzo while everyone else searches for intel.
Either way, the next location will be Puppet's Peak.

Apsara has similar movement to Mahoraga, in that she rises into the trees
and descends, preventing the party from surrounding her permanently. The
"SpiderKiss" tech is single-target damage and the most-used (only?) skill;
it would be pretty crappy if it didn't inflict Numb sometimes, too. Like her
hubby, Apsara touts 900-1000 HP. Make sure to gang up on her immediately as
she'll often retreat and use her skill from as far away as possible -- with
all the holes in the tree boughs, proceeding can be harder than normal. But,
hey, at least there's no items to break! [When her HP starts to lower, she
uses 'DarkNet' which is basically SpiderKiss with a larger range.]

This battle isn't really hard at all, supposing the player immediately sends
Son Goku toward the cannon and destroys it with a Werechange (which also
gives access to the good chest inside). The enemies here, the Crowmen and
Sorcerors in particular, use high-level scrolls so incapacitating them with
Numb/Stone can help a lot in the early stages (Charm may even be preferable
here). Sanzo should summon Emperor like usual, or Mother if s/he missed out
on locating it. Garda also uses powerful scrolls like Blazeball but hasn't
much HP to back it up (apx: 800). Make sure to get the Armor of Shiyu and
ShakeShield scroll, both excellent & free items to snatch.
---
Before heading to the Thunder Temple:
- Fight all remaining dojo masters to get the Gallant Ale item
- Buy some Magic+, Heal+, and Cure/Destone Potions
- Get any special items as a result of certain non-Delivery Post jobs
- Get any special items from the Port Town Post's card dealer
- Give as many people WinterBreath & Blazeball as possible, since they're the
two best area-effect attacks at this point (ignore crap like Lightning
unless someone needs a good attack scroll but can't equip those other two).
StoneBlood can also help.

|______________________________________________| The team is situated in the
middle with Yaksa toward
the north, and one sorceror on either side behind the broken wall. Summon a
useful summon (Emperor, or Mother if lacking) and kill the nearest Dinoman.
The nearest sorceror will be a nuisance but can hopefully be taken out with
a single StoneBlood. Blazebomb [etc.] can help weaken all the Bugs that're
protecting the way toward Yaksa, as well as damaging the boss himself!
Yaksa's DeathHowl is basically a lesser-powered WinterBreath, inflicting a
bit of damage and Numb. Dark Blade is basically a copy of Slashdive and not
as important. Evil Eye can inflict damage and, for a change, Stone to a
single target. Keeping the boss preoccupied is easy, so getting the J-02 or
D-12 chests -- both are pretty good with precedence given to the former --
shouldn't be difficult. Yaksa has about 1000 HP, and with upgraded weapons
and similar levels, he'll bite the dust with a nice collaborative effort.

Blazeball weaken them all en masse rather easily. Send someone to get that
special Cap inside a torch-holder before ending battle.

damage! The Life Potion nearby is also useful, although since there isn't a
shop in Heaven, getting any other potions can be good in a pinch. Both of
the Harpies will have medicinal move (WaterHeal/Cure) so petrifying them w/
StoneBlood can be good for expediting battle. The 2 Bugs will wrap around for
a flank attack but aren't that important. Set up Emperor/Mother ASAP.
Deva's NightBlade is another Slashdive clone in both range/damage, although
this one can inflict Poison. Flare damages those around him (Area: 3) and'll
do about 90-150 worth of hurt, depending on who reduces it. Crossfire has a
massive range (Area: 8?) and does physical damage, a little less than Flare.
If the player can lure him up to the starting platform, Crossfire can break
free the two treasure chests easily. Deva has about 1500 HP to reduce 'fore
the ol' samurai gives up the ghost.

the Sorceror/Crowmen types who have a
high-end scroll arsenal (as previously seen) that can pester the allies. The
good news is a well-placed Blazeball can hit everyone but the Dinomen in the
first turn! WinterBreath/StoneBlood are useful on this end, naturally. Garda
attacks with FireBird, another Slashdive clone in range/power...just with a
new animation (~90-100dmg). FlameThrow is a Ring-area fire attack that's
basically a souped-up BlazeGuard. She'll use the former skill repeatedly, so
summon Emperor/Mother for a nice cushion when hacking away her (apx.) 1000 HP.

|________________________________________| stones erecting a barrier are
deactivated. They're found in the
four corners of the arena, each guarded by a monster, and can only be turned
off by going to an adjacent panel and 'Use'-ing them (not blowing 'em). There
is a lot more enemy involvement than normal so WinterBreath -- and StoneBlood,
which is a lot more useful to be honest -- to buy some time will be a great
help. Because MP is so important in this battle, I felt inclined to take
Chin Genshi along since his MP-refilling and -stealing powers are a great
help all-around (the NW-most Sorceror spams UltraPoison, after all!) Goku's
Cloud spell will be helpful in getting to the far-off crystals, since riding
the elevators end a turn automatically. It helps to have a second GroupHealer
so that Sanzo can recast Emperor/Mother every third turn; s/he'll probably
need a Magic Potion-feeder, too.
Naturally, Asura won't sit around and let his enemies traipse to each crystal
switch. Even though he acts last (15th) in the turn order, he can teleport in
his movement range and heals himself 999 HP after each turn. Inferno gets used
but so does DivineBolt, which does more damage but hits less people -- not a
good choice of attack, honestly. Deactivating all crystals prevents him from
regeneration health, at which time everyone can beat the crap outta the poor
guy (~1000 HP).

|__________________________________| dab in the middle of the battlefield,
ready to be attacked from all sides. All
allies are healed from the previous battle, thankfully, so recast Emperor and
commence the most powerful assaults since the boss' main portion has about
3000 HP! For healing purposes, sticking together may be a good idea, with
two groups on either side of its noggin. Using a powerful Werechange attack,
like Raging Boar's 100-MO Tusk attack, is a good way to proceed.
The arms will use 'Claw', a single-target damage (+ %Slnce) that can do about
100 damage, so pay attention to who acts when (view the number upper-left
number when hovering over a unit to see turn order, remember) to avoid any
healing mishaps. 'JadeBell' is just a wide-area damage, while 'MoonPole' is
also just damage in a wide range. 'IceGlare' is used by the main head and
goes in one direction, also doing simple damage (~80). 'StarBlade' is a copy
of PulseBlade, while 'TriProng' mimics PoleAxe's effects. 'BraveHeart' will
copy LifeDrain. FireFury can do a lot of damage, too, and so can Buddha's
Laugh (former: large area, latter: single-target).
None of the attacks are max-range, so it's useful to gather everyone on one
HALF of the battlefield to avoid some of the others (like JadeBell or MoonPole
which has a large area of effect). What's weird is that some of the attacks
may miss outright, which should help every once in awhile. Once you know
where JadeBell and MoonPole hit, they should be avoidable by going to the
half near where Sanzo/Kikka start (if player doesn't pick where they go).
That's all there is to it. Someone should be a dedicated healer, while all
the rest attack repeatedly. If one suspects a person will be defeated soon,
anticipate healing with those potions...no reason to save 'em anymore! Some
people may be defeated, but staying in a close range for healing may help a
bit (or be a detriment, depending on your point of view). This is definitely
the hardest battle in the game, so fight smart to prevail!

EQUIPMENT [EQPT]
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There are two types of equipment: those for Guardians and those for Sanzo.
Guardians can equip armor and helmets, while Sanzo equips robes and lighter
caps. Also, guardians' weapons can only be powered up through the Smith shops
found in towns (first location: Mire River), whereas Sanzo's staff grows in
strength by locating Guardians (the kind used in her Summon command, that is).

JOB LIST [JBLT]
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Jobs can be accepted from the 'Post' option in town, which works as a service
for odd jobs and deliveries. This is often a good way to make extra pocket
change without doing battle, although sometimes things don't go as smoothly.
Once a job is finished satisfactorily, return to the town the task was given
out and use 'Report' to collect the reward. Job appearances are randomized,
so re-entering town without picking one out will change up the current ones.
Generally, lower-paying jobs are simple deliveries with no enemy involvement,
but this isn't always the case, so pick and choose carefully based on what's
listed if y'just need to make a buck.
NOTE: Only one job may be undertaken at a time.
NOTE: Monetary rewards may fluctuate slightly.
NOTE: When all map dots are opened up, that's when the most jobs are available

DOJOS
_________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The dojo sidequest reward is 'Gallant Ale,' which increases the WAR stat of
a male character by eight (8) permanently. However, to get it, one must beat
the 'Master' rank of a dojo in EVERY town...and there are a lot of them in
the three chapters they appear in. Miss even one by starting a new chapter
and the whole sidequest is kaput.
To unlock the Master rank in a dojo, the party average must be roughly the
same as the 'Advanced' training session, apparently. This means that, after
acquiring new characters who don't get used much, they have to be leveled up
to par just to open the dang thing up! As the game rolls on and there are 6
allies in addition to the main six, this can be a huge time-waster. Thus, if
the player wants to undertake this at all, it's best to do either take the
highest paying job in the Post and make money off the training; or, use the
'Advanced' training session repeatedly in the current town. Defeating a
dojo master earns a certificate, and prevents the player from redoing that
Master-class mission (thus, how one knows s/he's already done it).
Assuming all dojos are defeated, by clearing the last one in Port Town (in
Chapter 3), the master there will give the item over.

CARDS
_________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The game does an alright job of explaining cards itself (which the player can
revisit each hand), which is a lot easier to understand than this guide's
able to do. Basically, this is like "Blackjack" except the goal is to reach
"9" instead of "21". And, instead of all cards having a positive value, some
cards will make the overall number fluctuate. Matching up characters and
their wereforms creates a better hand, while mismatching screws up the hand
somewhat. Three cards can be drawn at maximum, and Guardian cards don't do
anything (+/- that is). Beating the dealer wins whatever amount was bet (at
minimum), and doubles/triples/quadruples the bet at best should a certain
hand be drawn.
The player has to buy medals (100G = 10) to play, and those are what's won,
not normal currency. Thus, the player can either buy medals to attain the
prizes or bet normally (recommended) to get 'em. Each town's prizes differ,
but the rule of thumb is to save after winning a lot so the player doesn't
get greedy and lose all that hard-fought moolah.

HAKKAI'S RECIPES
__________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There's a small, easily missable sidequest involving Cho Hakkai's love for
food. By visiting places in town and trying to leave, some people may strike
up a conversation about food and Hakkai will get the recipe for it. Here are
the locations:
• Yuimen Store ---> Eggrolls
• Biku Dojo ------> Rice
• Mongolian Beef -> Kucha Smith
• Chinese Jelly --> Infidel City Chemist
When all of these are collected, visit the Tokhara Post (Chapter 2 only) and
the clerk will mention his father is really picky since he came back from
China, and only eats gourmet food. Hakkai will make all the stuff from the
recipes he got and as a thanks, the father donates the "Chef's Paradise"
scroll, a great Area:2 spell that's personalized for Hakkai. Very good for
early on, since most spells like Blazeball and WinterBreath don't become
available for a long time afterward.

EMPEROR SUMMON
__________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There is only one secret summon in the game, and that's of the fabled emperor
that everyone's heard of. To find him, one must find all the pieces of his
armor -- all one-of-a-kind and appearing only once -- that appear in (often)
hidden battle chests. Locations:
• Cherry Plains (#2) -> Emperor Helmet
• Biku ---------------> Emperor Armor
• Cherchen -----------> Emperor Band
- Talk to the chemist in Pine City (before Storm Mt.) w/ all three pieces
collected thus far in the inventory to learn the fourth's whereabouts.
• Storm Mt. (#3) -----> Emperor Soul
• Stone Mt. ----------> Emperor's Crown
The "Emperor's Crown" that appears in Stone Mt. during Chapter 4 is not part
of the set; the player is told that there are only four pieces to the set in
Chapter 2 by the man in Pine City. After all (4) pieces are collected toward
the end of the second chapter, continue the game until Port City opens up in
India. Visit the dojo and the master will ramble about how he had this dream
that someone in Ice Peak was talking to him (or something). This will open
up a special battle there where the player fights some enemies, and winning
will let Sanzo get the game's best summon. It has all latent powers of the
ones previously collected, and has the best special attack (DragonWhip) as
well.

STAR ORE
__________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This sidequest is geared towards strengthening one's weapons to their max
potential, by finding a rare metal for tempering. This can only be done in
Chapter 3. The order:
• Visit Midnight Tor's Smith, and upgrade weapons to Lv5. After that, try
to upgrade once more and the man will comment on the Star Ore.
• In Midnight Tor's dojo, talk with the master. If the smith was talked to,
he'll say the team's weapons need to be stronger and that his grandpa used
to tell him stories about the Star Ore. The grandpa is the chemist in the
Frontier Town.
• Visit said chemist and he'll say he used to be a pirate on the eastern sea,
but then gets offended and dismisses everyone.
• When Port Town is opened, visit the post and a drunk guy will talk about
how he went looking for Star Ore on the island of Ceylon and everyone he
knew died.
At this point, Ceylon opens up and has a battle (map: Helmet Peak) that lets
the player find Star Ore at the end. The smith in Port Town will be able to
temper ONE ALLY'S level-five weapon with the Star Ore to make it better than
normal, such as giving a +1 move bonus or changing the attack range type.
Make sure to choose carefully!

Scrolls are equippable on each person (although some are personalized) and
which unit equips what is based off of their current elemental level. So,
a person with Water Level 5 can equip any water-type LV5 and below. Increase
elemental affinity by leveling-up normally and equipping certain accessories
that boost such growth. Characters have different predispositions on this
end and won't grow evenly (except Chin Genshi who excels at all types, at
least comparitively). Quick overview:
NAME --> Scroll name
ELMNT -> Elemental affinity
LV ----> Scroll's level
MP ----> MP cost
RNG ---> Scroll's attack's range
AREA --> Attack range area
UP/DW -> Vertical limits to the attack area
MO ----> 'Magic Offense' value, if it's an attack scroll
OTHER -> Other properties it may have ('---' means it's just damage)

V. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS [FAQZ]
_______________________________________________________________________________
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
[Q] - I forgot a hidden treasure chest in a level. Can I get it again?
[A] - As far as I've seen, yes, provided a Post job has a battle that takes
place there. Some maps are repeated later on as a 'new level' (such as
Ceylon copying Helmet Peak) but the treasures may differ.
[Q] - How does one use the Arrowstrike ability Kinrei has?
[A] - This one can be a little hard to figure out. Move Kinrei next to an
enemy and have her face it. Now, have Ginrei attack with her bow and
before the damage is calculated normally, Kinrei will attack it with her
sword. It's like both sisters attacked in one turn, and this doesn't
cost Kinrei her turn either! Very useful.
[Q] - I found a correction!!!!
[A] - Email it to me, yo.
