----> 1. General explanation

This is a walkthrough for 'Shin Megami Tensei II', a direct continuation
of the famous "Shin Megami Tensei" RPG. It was released by Atlus for Super
Famicom in 1994. And later, in 2002, it was re-released for Playstation as part
of Atlus's marketing runup to the release of Shin Megaten III. In Playstation
re-release, the graphics received - no, not facelift but merely some polishing.
The interface is much more convinient, the dungeons are smooth-scrolling etc -
but mostly the game remains unchanged.
Be aware of the issues with the first-print of the Playstation remake:
when first released, the game contained showstopper bugs which rendered it
all but unplayable. This was all fixed in a second print - but if you got
stuck with the original, buggy version: good luck. [g]
Unlike most RPGs on the market it is not a fantasy game - the game
takes place in post-apocalyptic Tokyo in year 20XX. It concerns itself
with the Second War between Heaven and Hell which broke out in the end
of the Millenium. For some decades after the climactic shodown of Shin Megami
Tensei I peace has reigned, but now the flames of this War are about to flare
up higher than ever before.
The game features three paths through it - LAW, CHAOS and NEUTRAL. Depending
on the decisions you make throughout the game your alignment will change
between these three. And depending on your alignment, NPCs will react to you
differently. The storylines for each alignment diverge completely towards
the end of the game, with you joining opposite sides of the same conflict
depending on your alignment. There are, naturally, three different endings
to the game.

---->2. Notes on the structure of this FAQ

More or less this is the translation of every single scrap of the character
dialogue in the game I was able to dig out after several playthroughs through
the game AND hacking the ROM to get out the text that I missed.
It is at the moment features only the ending for NEUTRAL path through
the game, but the other two endings - LAW and NEUTRAL will be added in the
subsequents versions of this FAQ.
Basically this is a storyline translation - I didn't translate menus, combat
commands and such. It assumes you will be able to, one way or another, to hand
combat, demon fusion and suchlike parts of the game by yourself.
There are four main sections to this FAQ:
1). Section 1, "General" - the one you are reading now.
General notes, table of demons and such. Can be read before
playing the game, contains no spoilers - just general info.

2). Section 2, "Walkthrough" - this is a complete walkthrough
of the game, with translations of all the storyline dialogue -
all the important storyline encounters.

3). Section 3, "Locations" - this is a translations of all
the dialogue you get when you meet with various people at
various locations in the game. It will not have one-off
dialogues which advance the story, but it will have all
the conversations with people you find in various towns.
However take care reading through it, as you might
run into spoilers by accidentally reading some dialogues
which aren't meant to occur yet.

4). Section 4, "SPOILERS" - item lists, demon lists,
secrets and most other miscellanea.

Essentially 'Walkthrough' sections is translation of the game in
chronological order, that you could follow along as you play, while 'Locations'
section is layed out in geographical order, so that you consult it for each
area to read all the optional conversations.

---->3. Notes on translation.

Firstly, let me tell you that you will get most out of this translation if
you know hiragana and katakana - two phonetic Japanese alphabets. It doesn't
take more than a few days to learn them, and you wouldn't believe how much
easier it will become for you to play import games.
If you know hiragana and katakana, you will be able, easily, to choose
options in menus, fuse demons, use items - all without any actual knowledge of
Japanese itself.
If you don't, you should still be able to get through those elements of the
game by trial and error, but it will take you more time.
(In a nutshell - if you have any serious intention to slog through import
Japanese games, go and learn hiragana/katakana _NOW_. It's good for you.)
Few words on the style of the translation - while I make an effort to stay as
close to original Japanese text as possible, my first priority is producing
English which sounds like it is English. If you want 100% literal, no
paraphrasing translation - go learn Japanese. Nothing less will ever satisfy
you.
However, there were cases where I was extremely reluctant to translate some
of the titles, terms of endearments, etc, because they translate very poorly, if
at all. As result, here is a short list of Japanese words you can expect to run
into, in the course of the walkthrough:

1. 「大魔王」 'Dai' (大) means 'great' and Maou(魔王) means
Dai-Maou 'demon lord, demon king', so the whole thing
translates as Great Demon Lord.
It is a title traditionally given to Lucipher -
as opposed to mere Maou - Demon Lords - such as
Belial, Astaroth, Mara, Arioch, etc.

2. 「魔界」
Makai 'Ma'(魔) is the kanji for demon, 'Kai' (界) is
the kanji for world. Often Makai is used to mean Hell,
but in these games it's more than that. Hell is but
a part of Makai. Makai, in Megaten, is the astral
world, the spirit world, where all supernatural
creatures live, both good and evil...

3. 「結界」
Kekkai Protective circle. Spiritual barrier. In general,
a supernatural barrier put up around something -
either to keep bad things out or sometimes to
keep worse things in. A protective pentagram in
which, in Western ceremonial magic, a mage would
stand when summoning a demon is an example of
Kekkai.

---->4. Notes on alignment.

The alignment of a creature in most Megaten games is measured across two
different scales: (LAW/NEUTRAL/CHAOS) + (LIGHT/NEUTRAL/DARK)
That is, there are 9 alignments altogether: LIGHT-LAW, LIGHT-NEUTRAL,
LIGHT-CHAOS, NEUTRAL-LAW, NEUTRAL-NEUTRAL, NEUTRAL-CHAOS, DARK-LAW,
DARK-NEUTRAL, DARK-CHAOS.
From the game manual, the meanings of alignments are as follow:

--LAW You believe in law and order, in logic and reason.
You do your best to uphold the structure of society.

--CHAOS You believes in chaos, in emotions over cold logic,
in 'purpose justifies the means'.

--LIGHT You are warm-hearted person, who selflessly commits
good deeds for the sake of others.

--DARK You are evil, descructive and will not stop before
kill or hurting someone if it achieves your goal.

Essentially, LAW believe in order and structure, in rigid hierarchy,
in strict loyalty, in conservativeness and traditions, in logic over feelings
and mind over flesh.
While CHAOS believe in disorder, in dynamism, in constant change and
self-improvement, in one's standing in the world depending only on one's
own merit, in the endless cycle of destruction and rebirth. Their beliefs
are summarised by 'Might makes right', 'Do what thou wilst shall be
the whole of Law', 'Purpose justifies the means', 'To be born, one first has
to die."
LIGHT value the lives of others, tries to help those around them, believes
in kindness, altruism and self-sacrifice.
DARK relish in murder and destruction, do not care about those around them,
do not balk at hurting people to achieve their goals.
Demons can have any of the nine alignments, but the main character is only
restricted to LIGHT-LAW, LIGHT-NEUTRAL or LIGHT-CHAOS - you are automatically
assumed to be on the side of LIGHT.

---->5. Notes on demons:

Demons, demons, demons... They are an integral part of any Shin Megaten
game. You fight them, you fuse them, you talk to them, you get them
to join your party...
In any case, 'demon'(悪魔) is somewhat misleading word to use. Everyone from
elves to gods are included in that description. Basically, in the world of
Megaten 'demon' is any supernatural creature.
All demons are classified into Major-Races, and each of those further
into Races. The latter can be thought of as the species and the former
as the family of species, grouped around common traits. These two determine
demon's alignment, the way it will behave in Fusion, its reaction during
negotiations and a lot of other things.
The Races are grouped into Major-Races as follows:

The descriptions of the Races are as follows (from the game manual and
'Shin Megaten II: Akuma Daijiten'):

LIGHT-LAW

1). 神霊 - SHINRYOU [ Shin (God) + Ryou (Spirit) ]

These spirits have been recognized since the ancient of days to
have no individual identity of their own, but merely be manifestations
of various aspects of One God. Their names have been recorded in
the ancient scriptures of Judaic faith.

2). 大天使 - DAITENSHI [ DAI (Great) + TENSHI (Angel) ]

The holy spirits who stand a rank above ordinary angels. They
possess great magical potential, some of them can be as destructive
as HAKAISHIN.

3). 天津神 - AMATSUKAMI [AMA(Heaven) + TSU (Haven) + KAMI (Gods)]

In the myths of Ancient Japan, these are the clan of gods who
have descended from Heavenly Land down to Earth and became
the rulers of Japan. Their leader is the Sun Goddess,
Amaterasu-oomikami. Many of them are worshipped in Shinto practices
to this very day.

4). 霊鳥 - REICHOU [REI (Spirit) + CHOU (Bird)]

Sacred birds who serve as the vehicles and messengers of gods.
They are the very powers divine, sublimated in form and flesh.
Their appearances tend to have strong symbolic implications.

LIGHT-NEUTRAL

1). 魔人 - MAJIN [Ma (Demon, Magic) + Jin (Person)]
These are the deities which are worshipped the most in our day
and age. They have the most followers and hence possess the power,
which is second to none, which gives them dominion over most demons.
Many amongst them have epicurean, pleasure-seeking tendencies.

2). 女神 - MEGAMI [Me (Female) + Gami (God)]
These are those female deities who possess gentle nature, full of
love and compassion. While their magical powers are just as strong as
those of MAJIN, they choose to use them for healing the wounds rather
than inflicting them. They tend to be beautiful in appearance, as
mercy is often said to be the symbol of beauty.

3). 神将 - SHINSHOU [Shin (God) + Shou (General)]

The twelve guardian-gods of Yakushi-Nyorai, who each possesses
an aspect of the Twelve Sacred Animals from Chinese calendar. They
are also the guardians of Time and of Directions.

4). 神獣 - SHINJUU [Shin (God) + Juu (Beast)]
Some of these beasts are animal forms of higher gods. Some are
vehicles emplyed by them. Either way, they are the manifestations
of wild, ferocious aspects of divinity. They bring forth
the strongest of powers in battles with the creatures of evil.
These beasts have long been worshipped in various parts of Earth,
and amongst all the animalistic demon races they stand the highest.

5). 精霊 - SEIREI [Elemental = 'Sei' (Ghost, Fairy) + 'Rei' (Spirit)]
Astral personifications of four basic elements - Fire, Water,
Earth and Wind. They are divided into two groups - high-elementals
and low-elementals. Fusing an elemental with a demon of another race
strengthens or weakens the result, depending on the race's affinity
for the said element.

6). 聖獣 - SEIJUU [Sei (Holy) + Juu (Beast)]
The sacred beasts, comparable to REICHOU. They reside in the
World of Illusion and were idolised by humans since the ancient times.
Their appearance usually carries an element of fragility and
vulnerability to it.
Some of them humans consider to be omens of good fortune, while
some of them have traditionally served as ritual sacrifices to gods.

LIGHT-CHAOS

1). 破壊神 - HAKAISHIN [Hakai (Destruction) + Shin (God)]

These are the gods of immense magical power, who stand in opposition
to MAJINs. They are the rulers of Destruction and Rebirth - their
purpose is to destroy all of creation and then recreate the universe
anew.

2). 地母神 - JIBOSHIN [ Ji(Earth) + Bo (Mother) + Shin (God) ]

The is the race of Earth-Mother Goddesses. The goddesses who combine
in them the harsh aspect of the wild nature around us, of the world
we live in with the gentle aspect of a mother figure, of kind parent
who gave birth to us. These are some of the oldest deities around,
some of the most primieval archetypes to form within a mind of a man.

3). 国津神 - KUNITSUKAMI [ Kuni(Country) + Tsu (Haven) + Kami (God) ]

Allies of KISHIN, these are the clan of native Japanese gods in
the mythology of Ancient Japan. They are thought to have arisen as
focii of nature worship in various parts of Japan.
After Amatsukami have descended from Heavenly Land and claimed the
rulership of Japan, many of Kunitsukami tried to resist them, but were
defeated and sealed off.

4). 龍神 - RYUUJIN [Ryuu (Dragon) + Jin (God)]

Elders of Dragon races, RYUUJIN are ancient even by the standards
of gods. They possess abilities far surpassing the human intellect, and
an equally inscrutable value system.

NEUTRAL-LAW

1). 天使 - TENSHI [Angel = Ten (Heaven) + Shi (Messenger, To Use)]

Lower orders of angels, these are the holy spirits who serve as
the eyes and the ears of One God. But when confronted with enemy,
they take up the arms and fight most boldly.

2). 妖鳥 - YOUCHOU [You (Mysterious, Strange) + Chou (Bird)]

These are malicious wind-demons, who are attracted to human souls.
They have a habit of stealing away anything that catch their fancy.
Originally, a lot of them have been responsible for transportation
of souls. They often have feminine aspects to their outward appearance,
which facilitaties seducing humans into giving up their souls.

3). メシアン - MESSIANS

Religious fanatics, these are zealots of the Messiah Faith, who view
all demons as nothing but a manifestation of wickedness and await
the coming of the Messiah, who will deliver humanity from the hands
of demons.

NEUTRAL-NEUTRAL

1). 夜魔 - YAMA [Ya (Night) + Ma (Magic, Demon)]
Fearsome spirits of the night, they possess little in a way
of physical body. However their magical power is even greater than
that of YOUMA. Amongst all the demons, they are probably closest
in character to humans and, like YOUSEI or CHIREI, often play pranks
on them. But their pranks are more malicious in nature and as often
as not result in death of their object.

2). 魔獣 - MAJUU [Ma (Majic, Demon) + Juu (Beast)]

Ordinary beasts, who lived so long and grew so powerful they
gained a demonic nature. They vary in their intellegence levels,
but even the least of them are smart enough to understand human
speech. They are dangerous, but not as such evil.

3). 妖魔 - YOUMA [You (Mysterious, Strange) + Ma (Demon, Magic)]

Monsters possessing of a high magical power, but with a nature
which has more light to it than darkness. In some ways, they are
similar to YOUSEI. Their ranks are very diverse - some of them were
worshipped by humans as gods, others reviled as monsters. And while
their outward appearance varies greatly, it is always incorporeal
to some extent - their physical aspects are very weak.

4). 地霊 - CHIREI [Chi (Earth) + Rei (Spirit)]

Spirits of Earth and Nature, who lived around humans since
the ancient times. Most of them have huge, powerfully built bodies
and possess incredible physical strength. But their magic is quite
low and in general they are not very warlike. Indeed, while nominally
a 'KI-ZOKU', they lack the fierceness common to that major-race, and
are much closer to YOUSEI in spirit. However, when challenged, they
will defend themselves with unequalled ferocity.

5). 龍王 - RYUUOU [Ryuu (Dragon) + Ou (King)]

Dragons, who possess powers second only to those of gods.
But they are inferior to RYUUJIN in that their power is purely that
of flesh, while their mind is weak and bestial.

6). デモノイド - DEMONOID

Artificial lifeforms, developed as a part of 'Messiah Project' in
the labs of the 'Center' with the use of technologies absorbed
from Demon Summoning Program and Demon Fusion System. Modeled after
various demons, they have been re-modeled to be of practical use
to the population of 'Center'.

7). 妖精 - YOUSEI [Fairies = You (Mysterious, Strange) + Sei (Fairy, spirit)]

The fairies of Western folklore, YOUSEI are bright and cheerful
demons, who hold no interest in good or evil or any other kind
of morals. Selfish, capricious pranksters, they live doing as
they please and as they will. Many of them are very beautiful
in appearance. Particularly female YOUSEI - their hauntingly good
looks spell trouble - and more - for any human they meet.

NEUTRAL-CHAOS

1). 鬼女 - KIJO [Ki (Oni, Ogre) + Jo (Woman)]

Female demons of cold and cruel nature, who sow destruction and
murder wherever they go. When confronted with enemy, they kill
without a glimmer of mercy. Their outward appearance, most often,
is that of a female head on a bestial body. Some of them can be
quite beautiful if they choose to, but that beauty is of deadly
kind.

2). 妖鬼 - YOUKI [You (Mysterious, Strange) + Ki (Oni, Demon)]

As opposed to JAKI, YOUKI would never accept someone else's rule.
They are driven by rage and rage only. But they do not live for
destruction alone and though driven by the rage, they never let
it take control of them completely. A proudful race of
warrior-demons.

3). 堕天使 - DATENSHI [ Da (Fall) + Tenshi (Angel)]

Angels, who have once rebelled against One God, but when their
rebellion was crushed by Seraphs, they Fell into the depths
of Makai. Now they are considered as demons and indeed their
calculative, self-interested, profit-oriented nature makes them
closest of all to what is usually meant by that word.

4). ガイアーズ - Gaiarths

Followers of the Gaia Sect, which preaches acceptance of demons
in this world and humanity's co-existence with them. They scheme
for the destruction of the 'Center' and revival of the demon-worship.

DARK-LAW

1). 邪神 - JASHIN [Ja (Wicked) + Shin (God)]

The most evil amongst the Fallen gods, they have served for
the humanity since the ancient times as symbols of all that is terror.
Their very existence is in causing the anger, the fear and
the suffering amongst the humans, and towardsthat aim they
endlessly wreak destruction and havoc.

2). 凶鳥 - KYOUCHOU [Kyou (Evil) + Chou (Bird)]

Greedy devourers of human souls. They are birds of ill omen,
which carry bad luck on their wings. Humans have always feared
these birds, giving birth to stories of curses and misfortune
which follows in their wake.

3). マシン - MASHIN

Mechanical robots. Their power source and operation mechanisms
vary from one to another, but all of them are operated and directed
by demons through magical means. Many of them are remains of the
military and security robots.

4). ワクチン - VACCINE

Embodiment of a computer program, designed to destroy computer
viruses. It can automatically change attack pattern depending on
identity of its opponent.

DARK-NEUTRAL

1). 妖獣 - YOUJUU [Yo (Mysterious, Strange) + Juu (Beast)]

Demons of unsatiable appetite. While their intellect is not low,
per se, most of their actions are dictated purely by greed and
self-interest. They revel in destruction and many of them desire
for the creation to be returned to nothingness. Their magical
powers are weak, but their physical strength is not to be
underestimated.

2). 邪鬼 - JAKI [Ja (Wicked) + Ki (Oni, Ogre)]

Originally gods and powerful spirits, the members of this race
have fallen long and hard, led by their insatiable desires. Now
reduced to mere servants of Jashins, they live for nothing but
revenge and destruction.

3). 屍鬼 - SHIKI [Zombie = Shi (Corpse) + Ki (Oni, Ogre)]

Unlike YUUKI and AKURYOU, who are the products of human mind, these
are born of the human fleshed. They are the 'undead': corpses,
raised from grave and animated through demonic powers. Many of them
still retain the memories of their lives, although they retain no
emotions of their own, blindly obeying the will of their summoner.

4). 妖樹 - YOUJU [You (Mysterious, Strange) + Ju (Tree)]

These are plants who gained demonic sentience and began to attack
humans. It is not known what exactly caused this mutation, but
radiation is suspected. These demons are personification of the anger
of the Mother Nature herself.

DARK-CHAOS

1). 魔王 - MAOU [Ma (Demon, Magic) + Ou (King)]

Ancient gods, who at one time or the other Fell into the depths of
Makai. They reside there still, commanding hosts of demons and fallen
angels and forever scheming to regain the Throne. In that they differ
from JASHIN, who exist for nothing but pure destruction.
They have many latent powers and in magical strength they are
an equal of MAJIN.

2). 邪龍 - JARYUU [Ja (Wicked) + RYUU (Dragons)]

These are the dragons posessing least in the way of intellegence.
Living purely by their instincts, they are constantly driven onwards
by their greedy appetites and destructive urges. In the purity of
their greed, these are the very incarnations of the powers of
darkness.

3). 幽鬼 - YUUKI [Yuu (Ghost) + Ki (Oni, Ogre)]

Sometimes, human hatred grows so strong that it persists in our world
even beyond death. Given a catalyst, it then gives birth to one of
these revenants. But they do not have a clear sense of purpose, and
satisfy their desire for revenge by inflicting harm on any human
they can.

4). 悪霊 - AKURYOU [Aku (Evil) + RYOU (Spirit)]

Similar to YUUKI, these are the spirits born of lingering hatred
and malice. However they are wholly incorporeal, lacking the ability
to take material form. Consequently, they always seek to possess human
flesh, spelling death for unfortunate human involved. Because they
lack flesh, their attacks are subtle and cunning.

5). 外道 - GEDOU ['Ge' (Outside, wrong) + 'Dou' (Road)]

Demons, who didn't have enough magnetite to materialise properly.
The result is an ever-shifting, amorphous creature, who can never
again regain its true form. Often, GEDOU are born when a human
allows a demon to take over their mind.

6). ウィルス - VIRUS

An embodiment of a computer virus program. Most of them lurk within
the depths of Virtual Terminals, but some of them have broken a wall
into our reality and can appear in the physical world.

---->5. Notes on negotiation with demons

Large part of this game consists of negotiating with the demons you meet.
Before every random encounter you usually get a choice - whether to fight the
demons you've encountered or to talk to them.
Choosing to talk enters the negotiation mode - through which it is possible
to get of the combat altogether or even to get demon to do something nice
for you - give you money, magnetite or, most importantly, agree to become
your Ally (中魔).
There is a Japanese pun here - the word for 'ally' in Japanese is 'nakama'
(仲間). But when referring to demons fighting on the side of the player in a
Megaten game, the second kanji is different - instead of 'ma'(間) for 'space',
it is 'ma'(魔) for 'demon'...
The main characters carries around a hand-held computer, in which
the demons who became your Allies are stored. They can, at any time, be
summoned to your party, where they fight alongside the human PCs. Throughout
the game, player encounters a number of Jakyou-no-Yakata (邪教の舘), where
several Allies can be fused to form a stronger Ally. And unless you want
to be torn to shreds by some of the stronger demons you will meet, you
better learn how to get demons to agree to join you as your Allies.
Unfortunately, there is no way I can translate the negotiation process -
the dialogue with demons is largely random, so you will have no way of telling
which line is demon using.
It is, however, more than possible to learn how to do that by trial and
error.
The first time conversation starts - you are presented with two tones
in which you can start the conversation:
- 友好的 (Friendly)
- 威圧的 (Bullying)
After you choose, demon will respond and you will get several choices of
how to continue the conversation.
Basically, this will continue until the demon either leaves, attacks you,
gets angry (you can not talk any more this round) or the haggling will
start towards it joining you as an Ally. You will usually know that it
happened, when the demon will start asking you for money or magnetite
(you will see '23MAG' or 'makka',that funny sign which means money, followed
by some number) or other gifts. You want to keep answering yes and hoping
that you have whatever the demon asks for next. Eventually it should
join you.
Of course there are abberations, demons whom you have to coax in a special
way, as well as very quick way to get some demons to join you without having
to give them anything. I will try to include some of the more common patterns
in the next revision of this FAQ.
Remember also that you can never gain a DARK monster as an Ally through
conversation, although you can fuse them if you know how. Also, on a Full Moon
night all demons are far too uplifted and riotous, so you can not hold
a coherent conversation with them.

---->6. Notes on fusion.

In 'Jakyou-no-Yakata' you can fuse 2 or 3 Allies into a stronger Ally.
The level of the resulting Ally depends directly on the levels of the Allies
used in the fusion. And the race of the resulting Ally is determined from
their races.
For 2-demon fusion, the race is determined according to following
table:

Symbol Explanation:

%% - Seirei (Elemental) race demon

If you fuse together two demons of the same race, you get a Seirei.
What makes Seirei special is how they behave in fusion process. When
fused with another demon they do not change the race of that demon -
instead you get a demon in the same race, but one/two rankings higher/lower.
Whether it is one or two rankings and whether it is higher or lower
depends on the race of target demon and this dependance is different
for each of the eight Seirei demons.
If you want to know details, look up the spoilers in section 4.

NB: By ranking of an ally with race I mean the following - imagine a list of
all the demons within a given race ordered by their level, highest to lowest.
Then the demon 'one ranking higher than a given one' is the next demon up on the
list, i.e. the next highest level demon of the same race.

** - Close-race fusion

This indicates that demons you are fusing come from two races within
the same major-race. The fusion between them is determined using special
rules, different to normal ones. Result will be a demon of the same
major-race.

-- - No fusion is possible

---->7. Notes on Magnetite.

In the world of Megaten, Magnetite (MAG) is the source of organic
energy that any creature needs to exist in our physical world. So, any
supernatural creature such as a demon, needs a constant supply of Magnetite
to create and maintain material body, needed for its existence in physical
world.
Naturally, when you slay the enemy demons, you can take the surplus
magnetite that they had before they dies.
In terms of game mechanics, this means that every demon you have summoned
into your party uses up a small amount of Magnetite every step. The amount
is shown as CP (Control Points) on the status screen of the demon. The more
powerful is the demon, the more Magnetite it uses up. And to obtain Magnetite,
you must defeat demons of DARK alignment.

---->8. Notes on names.

The main characters in Shin Megami Tensei II all have default names: Hawk,
Hiroko, Beth, Gimmel, Dareth, Zain. These are the names I will be using
throughout this walkthrough.

INTRODUCTION - FROM GAME MANUAL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

199X: 'Great Destruction of Tokyo'

Thorman presses the button, which launches ICBMs.

203X: 'Great Flood of Tokyo'

As a result of large-scale changes in the movements of tectonic plates,
the outskirts of Tokyo cave in and are flooded.

203X: 'Formation of the social community '

Free community forms which accepts all comers, be they of Gaia or of
Messiah faith.

204X: 'Messiah Faith rises to power'
'Gaia Rebellion'

The Brotherhood of Gaia and its followers rise in rebellion, opposing
the Messiah Church's bid for power. The rebellion is ruthlessly
supressed by the Temple Knigths.

205X: 'The construction of 'Center' is completed'

At great expense, the building that used to be the Cathedral is
completed and given a new name - 'Center'.

The 'Citystate "Millenium"' project is announced.

'Development of Demonoids'

The research continues into a creation of artificial lifeforms, to
serve as menial labor force.

206X: '"Millenium" nears completion'

In Valhalla and Factory areas, the construction of facilities necessary
for them to start accepting their first residents are 95% completed.

Recreational needs of the future citizens are also being catered to,
with several Casinos and other suchlike establishments.

'Enviromental pollution'

The greenhouse effect, the destruction of ozone layer and the
radioactive pollution make most lands outside 'Millenium' unsuitable for
human life. As result thousands of people flee to 'Millenium', whose
facilities offer perfect enviromental conditions.

'Temple Knights are made into a special police force'

Temple Knights, an armed unit which has been employed to supress the
repeated insurrections of Gaia followers, are re-assessed by 'Center'
and turned into an elite enforcer unit with the authority of a secret
police.

This signals the start of concerted effort by 'Center' to strengthen
its control over other regions of 'Millenium'.

20XX: 'Present day, Present Time'

The megalopolis, that was once called 'Tokyo'. Many are the names and the
shapes that it took throughout its long history. But it survived. And even in
this day, it lives on...

As 'Tokyo Millenium'...

The city of the Messiah Faith. The faith, which gathered under its wings the
hearts and minds of millions who cry out for the advent of the Messiah.

Back in the beginning, it was being built to turn the dream of the Thousand
Year Kingdom into a reality. But neither God nor Messiah have appeared within
its wals. And time went. And very soon some of its citizens became much more
equal than others...

* At the helm of 'Millenium' is the governing body known as 'Center'.

* Under direct authority of 'Center' are the 'Temple Knights' - elite
military group which serves the function of a police force.

* The elite of 'Millenium', are the First Rank Citizens are those who are
given the right to enter and leave the 'Center' freely.

* There there are those, who are permitted the ownership of the Arm
Terminal. They are the Second Rank Citizens.

* And last come those, who are merely recognized as residents of the
'Millenium'. They are the Common Rank Citizens.

One of the particularly prosperous parts of 'Millenium' is the 'Valhalla
Area'. It's famous for the cruel sport of the arena fighting, practiced there
to this day. Men fight each other, risking their lives to thrill the
blood-thirsty crowds. Recently, a new fighter, named 'Hawk' trailblazed onto
the scene like a comet. The audience gapes at his prowess. The crowds go wild
over his unbroken string of victories. But no one knows who he is or where
he came from...

Not even Hawk himself...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 1 - "This is the first day of the last days..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The game starts with someone calling out to you.
Man's voice:
"Wake up !"
You find yourself in a room, that looks like a gym. A man with a strange
looking cybernetic eye is standing in front of you.
Okamoto:
"Oi, are you going to sleep forever or something ?
Hawk ! Wake up ! Quickly ! Do not just lie about !
You have won every fight all the way up into the final fight of the
Tournament...
On that day, you were wandering lost about Valhalla city...
You were attacked by the demons, and the way you fought them !
It was wonderful !
I recognized your strength immediately. Well, that time, it was my
strength, that saved you... Aren't you thankful to me for that...
I had you try out the Virtual Battler. And all of a sudden you get
the High Score, and without a single miss too. I was so surprised.
Aren't you thankful, that I provided the money that time ?
You've lost your memory, so I gave you the name 'Hawk'. Bringing
you up as a Colloseum fighter was tough. Until now I did not have
much luck with students, but at last the luck seems to be coming
round. If you win and become the champion, that idiot Haneda will
not be making a fool of me any more.
My, that was quite a speech..."
You are asked, whether you understood his speech. If you say yes, he
says:
"In that case, quickly start on your training for today."
You are asked, what do you want to do. Choices are:
'Save' 'Training'
'Go outside'
Choose 'Training'.
Okamoto:
"Quickly, get into Virtual Trainer."
You get into the Trainer.
"Well, Hawk, are you prepared ? Then we start..."
You are transported into VR setup. Map out a simple maze. Random encounters
are not too difficult. In the end is the first boss - Shiki Zombie. If you
beat him, Okamoto appears before you.
Okamoto:
"Well done, you got here."
You are transported back to real world.
"Ah, well done."
You are given same choice as before - Save/Training/Go outside.
Now choice 'Go outside'.
Okamoto:
"Take this and go to improve your skill a bit to the town's
Virtual Battler."
You are given &200.
Now you can explore the building you are in. There are several
important encounters you must have, that are vital to the storyline
unfolding.
One happens when you pass by the fortune-teller's place for the
first time. You will hear a voice.
Woman's voice:
"Hey, hey, you, youngster over there. This way. To your right.
Stand before me and listen to my voice.
Then the way will open for you."
Turn to your right and face the door.
"Go on, come inside..."
Go inside.
Fortune-teller:
"I will drive away your doubts and your worries and
guide to the right path...
Is this the first time you are here ?
Then this time I will read your fortune for free...
Ummmmm....Ummmm.....
One woman's name is buried deep, deep inside your mind.
Do you remember that name ?"
If you answer yes, you are asked to enter that name.
If you answer no, she says:
"You do not remember it ? Then I will tell that woman's
name to you...
The name is... Hiroko.
Do not forget that name - Hiroko."
Then you are shown out of her shop.
Another one happens when you enter a room with a green-haired
man in it.
Green-haired man in a suit and cyberglasses:
"There was someone looking for you.
Who was it...?"
Everything blurs before your eyes. Next moment, you find yourself in
a strange lab of some sorts. A middle-aged man, with a cane, is standing
in front of a huge glass tank, in which a human-like figure is suspended.
It seems to be male...
Man:
"...of all of you, he is the one in whom the sheer power runs
strongest...
I would like you to name him.
Fine ?"
You can choose whether to name him or not. If you answer 'Yes',
you will get to give the person in the vat a name of your own choosing.
If you answer 'No', the man will ask you to confirm it:
Man:
"I hoped you would name him for me. Will you not ?"
If you answer 'Yes' (you would not), he will say:
"I see. Then I will tell you the name which was given to him.
His name is 'Zain'...'
Everything blurs again. When you come to, you are back in the Shopping
District, in front of the green-haired man in cyberglasses.
Man:
"Oi, what's with you ?
Listen, when someone is trying to tell you something !
The person who was searching for you... He called himself 'Zain'."
After that you leave.
The other two important encounters happen in the Virtual Battler,
which is - incidentally - where you were told to go by Okamoto. So
when you finished exploring, head off there. You will find, anyway,
that no shops would sell anything to you - everyone knows that Okamoto
is penniless and owes everyone money. So no one would sell anything to him
or to you, for that matter...
The Virtual Battler is the door with the sign 'Virtuals' above it.
Go inside.
Virtual Girl:
"Wel-co-me ! In the Virtual Space you too are Hero !
You can read more about Virtual Battler system in Miscellaneous FAQ.
For now, out of the options menu, choose the Battler (first options).
You get a choice of levels. Try level 1. Just as you will turn the first
corner, you will see a figure in a wheelchair disappearing in the distance.
Follow the figure, wherever it is heading.
After couple of turns you will catch up with it in the dead end. It
turns out to be a man in a red suit, seating in a wheelchair.
Wheelchair-bound man:
"Yaa ! I am not a demon ! I have had myself entered into the matrix
of the Virtual Battler so that I could meet you.
My name is... Let's call me Steven...
The thing is - there is something I want to give to you.
It is my own creation... a Demon Summoning Program.
Very shortly, thanks to a certain incident, this 'Tokyo Millenium'
will be overrun by demons. Tokyo Millenium has been supressing the
appearance of demons for a long time now, but now they wouldn't be
able to do it any longer.
There is no stopping the demons from entering this world now.
If humanity doesn't start to use the power of demons, it will
perish.
I will pass to the one, who has power to use demons this program.
I have created it for a day like this.
What kind of person are you, I do not know. Nor would I try to
to learn. I am merely giving this program to someone who posesses
the power."
You are asked, whether you understood his speech.
Answer yes.
"Good. You seem to be quite bright.
I will transfer the program to your Arm Terminal.
And handle it with care."
You receive Demon Summoning Program.
"I have high hopes for you.
Perhaps will meet in the Virtual Battler again.
It's a pleasure to be working with you. Be seeing you later."

You are shown out of the Virtuals. If you come back, you can traverse
the regular courses, as normal, with one important exception. Go to
the course 1. Shortly after entering it you will hear someone's voice:
Voice:
"If...receive...this message...come...to me..."
Everything fades. You find yourself in a laboratory of some sorts.
A middle-aged man with a cane is standing in front of a glass vat, in which
a human-like figure is suspended.
Man:
"His wisdom is above all others...
Give him a name."
You can choose to do so or refuse. If you say no, he says:
"You will not give him a name ?"
If you answer yes, he says:
"So be it... Then I will tell you a name, that was given to him...
His name is Gimmel."
You are transported back into Virtual Battler.
Voice:
"...Gimmel.....
...This is Gimmel...
...I am...now...in Arcadia..."
Now you can explore the course. The boss in the end is Gedou Slime. If
you beat him, Virtual Girl appears.
Virtual Girl:
"You did it ! Is not it wonderful ? You defeated Slime..
Do you want to still continue ?"
You can do the rest of the courses if you like. It's nice-ish exercise
in level-upping. Read Locations section, if you wish, for further details
When you finished playing around with the battler, head back to the Gym.
Okamoto will meet you. Make sure you have walked around Valhalla Shopping
Center and had the three encounters where you get to to name Hiroko, Zain
and Gimmel.
When you get back to the Gym, Okamoto greets you and gives you the
news.
Okamoto:
"Tomorrow is the final battle of the Tournament. Just one
more victory - and you are the Champion...
Now just rest and get ready for tomorrow..."
You go to sleep and are given a chance to save the game. Then, next
morning:
Voice:
"Hey, Hawk, get up !"
Okamoto:
"Hurry up to the Colosseum ! By now, you ought to know well how
to get there, right... As always go North, past the gym of that
wanker Haneda.
Aw, you'll be allright. You are strong, you are. You will definitely
win ! As long as you stick to all the stuff that I taught you...
Or maybe you'd like to rest some more ?"
If you answer yes, you will rest and get a chance to save the game again.
If you answer no, he says:
"Well, go on then !"
Now go as you were told - out of building you are in now (Valhalla
Business Centre) past next building (Haneda's Gym) and from there north -
to the Colosseum.
Collosseum is a fairly small building - about the onlt thing to look at
is the Hall of Fame to the left of the entrance. When you are finished,
go straight ahead from the entrance and you will be met an by official.
Colloseum's official:
"Hey. Looks like Hawk, fighter from Okamoto's gym is here.
Do not lose too quickly or the spectors will go wild and
start rioting..
The final battle will be a Dungeon Match. You start each from
your own entrance and proceed through the dungeon towards
the arena in its center.
Various items have been placed throughout the dungeon. If you
pick up a few of them, they will come in handy in a fight.
Furthermore, demons have been released into the dungeon, so
be careful. When both fighters have entered the arena,
the fight will start properly.
Of course, if you slay your opponent before than, you'll still win.
Did you understand the rules ?"
If you say no, he just repeats it all again.
If you say yes, he says:
"Well then, Hawk. Go on up."
Okamoto appears.
Okamoto:
"You've made it this far - there is not much left I can say...
Believe in your own power ! You are strong ! You will win !
You will come back alive !
Go on then !"
You go up to the tournament dungeon.
Announcer:
"And now today's main event !
The final battle of the tournament is starting !
Competing for the title of the Champion are...
Red Bear !
...and Hawk !
Ready ? Go !"
You are transported into dungeon. There are various armors and a</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
good sword ('Slicer') lying around in the chest. The arena is in the middle.
When you emerge into it, you are confronted by your opponent.
Red Bear:
"You..."
Everything fades once more. Once again you see the strange lab and
a middle-aged man, standing in front of a vat. In the vat, dimly, you can
make out a human shape.
Man:
"...He resembles you a lot. You almost each other's equals in
power.
Have you decided, what his name should be ?" [1]
If you answer yes to [1], you get to name him.
If you answer no to [1], he asks:
"...you can not think of a name for him..?" [2]
If you answer yes to [2], he says:
"I see...
Then, I shall tell you the name that was given to him...
His name is Dareth..."
You find yourself back in the ring, Red Bear towering in front of you.
Red Bear:
"Hey, where are you looking ? You oughta listen when someone is
talking to you ! Trying to ignore me - are you a great man... or
a common fool...?
Hawk.
You fought well to stand here today. I shall praise your
victories... and I shall mourn your death !"
You fight Senshi Red Bear. If you beat him he says:
Red Bear:
"Just one more victory... and I would have became... a Champion...
...would have went... to 'Center'..."
He dies. The announcer appears.
Announcer:
"The champion has been decided !
Hawk has won ! New Champion Hawk !
New Champion..."
You find yourself back in the gym Okamoto.
Okamoto:
"You are really a Champ...!
Our gym is now way better off too. Now we can well gloat over that
poof Haneda. And the shops in town would actually sell us stuff
again.
Now just continue winning and making us money..."
Yeah... If you keep winning, one day Madam might notice you...
and invite us to her mansion... Uhuhuhu... Madam-sama.
Ha-Hawk. What are you staring at me for ? You are the one who
gets to become the citizen of 'Center'...
Eh ?
Looks like you have a guest..."
Woman appears.
Woman:
"Is this where I can find new Champion Hawk...?
Ah.... You are Hawk ?
I am Hiroko. I came from 'Center'."
Okamoto:
"What could a lady from 'Center' possibly want here ?"
Hiroko:
"I came to ask something of the new Champion...
I would like him to help me to search for someone.
Truth is, there was an accident in 'Center' half a year ago.
An explosion. And during all the confusion and chaos, one small boy
had gone missing.
It appears that the explosion was caused by caused by two
scientists - Mekata and Hanada. After the commotion has died
down, the two of them were nowhere to be found.
I started searching for the boy immediately, but there weren't
really any clues as to where he might have gone. But we found where
Hanada, one of those two scientists, is hiding. He is here in Valhala,
in Madam's mansion. I heard, that as a Champion you were invited
there.
Please, take me with you ! I have no other way of getting into
Madam's mansion. Please !" [1]
If you answer no to [1], she cries:
"Please ! I have no one else left to ask ! Please !"
and asks you again. If you say no, Okamoto speaks out:
"Look, when a cute girl is begging you like this you mustn't say
no..."
and Hiroko joins the party.
If you answer yes to [1], she says:
"Re-really ? Thank you, Champion !"
Okamoto:
"Oi, oi, Champion does not have any time to waste.
Ah, well..."
and Hiroko joins the party.
Either way, after she joins Okamoto speaks:
Okamoto:
"Looks like there is another visitor."
A formally dressed man appears.
Man:
"Are you the new Champion Hawk ? I was sent here by Madam.
She desires to see you. Please come to the mansion. Here is
a 「招待状」 (Letter of Invitation) from Madam.
You can have up to one person accompanying you.
If you wish to come, you are awaited at the Madam's mansion
in the north-east of Valhalla."
You receive the 'Letter of Invitation" and the man disappears.
Okamoto:
"Oh, crap... Only two people can go to Madam's mansion ?
Ah, well. We have to keep our promise...
Hurry up to the mansion, you two.."
You leave Okamoto's office. You are now in what used to be Haneda's
Gym, but it belongs to Okamoto now. Look around, if you wish, abd then
exit the building.
Go north-east to Madam's mansion. It is past the Terminal Building, past
the huge bridge and through a little forest. At the gates, you are met by
two guards.
Gatekeeper:
"Do you have a 'Letter of Invitation' ?
You...you are the new Champion, Hawk-sama !
Please, please, to the elevator..."
You are asked if you want to go up in the elevator. Answer yes. You
come out of the elevator into a huge hall. Proceed towards the door in
the end. As you enter it, everything fades once more. And again you see
a strange lab and again a middle-aged man is standing in front of a vat.
But now it is a female figure that you see floating behind the dimly-lit
glass.
Man:
"She is... your...
You should give her a suitable name..." [1]
If you answer yes to [1], you get to name her.
If you answer no to [1], he asks:
"...you will not give her a name..?" [2]
If you answer yes to [2], he says:
"I see...
Then, I shall tell you the name that was given to her...
Her name is Beth..."
You find yourself back in Madam's mansion. A servant appears.
Alfred:
"Ah. The new Champion Hawk...
Welcome, welcome...
Madam is waiting for you...
Madam ! New Champion Hawk just arrived..."
Curtain in front of you rises, revealing a huge screen. On it an image
of a woman appears.
Madam:
"I am the governess of the Valhalla. Everyone calls me Madam.
'Center' has given me complete authority on anything concerning
this area. I opened the Colosseum... the Casino... all these places
where people can gather and throw themselves into their short-lasting
pleasures. And so Valhalla thrives in peace and prosperity.
People live enjoyable life, free of wars and struggles.
Is not this as it should be ? I think that the way Valhalla is
right now is the best it could be.
But, please take a look at this."
The image of Madam fades and instead a figure of huge pyramidal building
appears.
"This is 'Center'. It controls and governs Millenium . And now
plans are afoot within it to bring the rest of the Millenium under
a much tighter leash. But I want to keep Valhalla a free area,
that it always was."
Madam's image reappears.
"...and now a troublesome thing happened. One of the scientists
I had in my employment had ran away. He want to open the gate
between our world and Makai - and summon many demons through it.
I called you to my mansion to ask you to find him... and bring
him back to me.
Will you do it ?
The scientist's name is Hanada."
Hiroko:
"Hanada !?
Hanada is not here anymore !?"
Madam:
"Yes. He appears to have escaped to the Slum City.
I rely on you to bring him back, Hawk...
Oh and...
I will lend you my pet... Come, Cerberos !"
Screen goes off. Majuu Cerberos appears.
Madam:
"Cerberos will lend his strength to you. You will no doubt find
him useful. Cerberos, say 'Hello' to Hawk..."
Cerberos:
"You are the new Champion Hawk ?
I do not normally serve humans of lower level than me, but since
Madam asked me, I will make an exception for you.
Pleased to be working with you..."
Majuu Cerberos joins the party. Madam reappears on the screen.
Madam:
"Well then, Hawk. I am relying on you."
You are shown out of the room. Take the elevator and exit Madam's
mansion. You now need to go to the Slum Town. To get there, you will need
to go via the Highway - huge bridge like structure just before the forest
leading to Madam's mansion. As you enter, you find yourself in the elevator,
that will take you up. Pass along it and another elevator in the other
end will take you down.
Slum Town is near the edge of the newly accesible area. It's not normally
visible on the map, as it is hidden behind one of the brown buildings. Enter
it and explore.
Cerberos will help you few times. He can sense demons by smell, and he
will pointing out to you from which direction does the demonic stink comes.
Following his directions (or by just searching the place. <g>) find
the staircase down to B1F. Shortly after descending to B1F, you will find
Hanada.
As you enter the room, decorated with various occult paraphernalia,
he shouts at you:
Hanada:
"Who the hell are you ! This is a research laboratory of the
super-genius scientist, Dr. Hanada. Get out ! I am in the middle
of something very important."
What ? You came to take me back !? A great genius like myself must
be given a complete freedom of research. Neither those simpletons in
'Center', nor that old hag Madam never really understood that. And
so I decided to do research completely on my own. And I've succeeded
in opened the passage to Makai. No longer I have to go through all
the usual rigmarole. Now I can summon as many demons as as often
as I like...
Now, I need to assemble the followning items:
First, 「わらうにんぎょう」 (Laughing Doll).
Then, 「なくにんぎょう」 (Crying Doll).
Then, 「おこるにんぎょう」 (Angry Doll).
And lastly the 「おどるにんぎょう」(Dancing Doll).
I place these dolls, full of spirit energy, on a spot where
Makai and our world come close to each other.
And the gate to Makai will open !.
Watch !"
The dolls vanish in a flashes of spiritual fire. When the last one goes,
the ground starts rumbling - and then the pentagram on the wall crumbles
and the gaping hole opens in the wall. The gate to Makai.
"Come, Mercurius ! Kill these simpletons, who disturbed
my previous research !
Wa... wa... wait !!
It's... them you are supposed to kill.... not me..."
He falls to the ground slain. And Youma Mercurius steps over his body
and stands in front of you. You fight it.
When you beat him, the 4 dolls which Hanada used reappear. You take them
all and exit the room.
Now go back to Madam's mansion. As you enter the reception room, Alfred
greets you.
Alfred:
"Welcome back, Hawk-sama.
I will call for Madam right now..."
He disappears. Cerberos speaks.
Cerberos:
"And so we must part.
Even though we did not succeed in bringing Hanada back,
you've showed yourself to be quite strong. I like you.
Maybe one day, we shall meet again."
Cerberos leaves the party. Image of Madam appears on TV screen.
Madam:
"Thank you for your efforts, Hawk.
I thought if anyone could bring back Hanada it would be you.
It's a pity things things had to turn out this way.
By the way, there is someone here to see you. Messenger from 'Center'."
Image of Madam disappears. Man appears in fron of you, wearing Messiah
Faith colours.
Man:
"So you are the one who became a new Champion...?
Hawk...
Remember ! Remember your own name...!
Your name..."
Everything fades away. You find yourself in a now-familiar laboratory...
but now you are seeing from the other side. Now you are the one floating
in the big glass vat, . The the liquid is drained away and vat is opened.
The middle-aged man appears in front of you.
Man:
"You have awoken...?
Will you become a servant of God...?
Will you become an agent of Demons ?
That our big 'gamble'. With the future of all humanity at stake...
So then. Will you give yourself a fitting name ?"
If you answer yes, you get to name yourself.
If you answer no, he speaks:
"Why...? Do you still not understand who you are...?"
If you answer yes to this, he says:
"I see...
Then I shall tell you the name that was given to you...
Your name is 'Aleph'..."
Everything blurs again. You are back at the Madam's mansion. The man from
'Center' is standing in front of you.
Man:
"Your name is Aleph !
Well ? Do you remember now, Aleph ?
I am Zain. I have been looking for you for quite a while.
You see, originally you were a citizen of 'Center'...
Aleph. And you, Hiroko-san. Orders has been given for you to
also return to 'Center'.
Both of you, please make your way there as soon as possible."
Zain leaves. Image of Madam re-appears on the screen.
Madam:
"That was quite a surprise...
So, you were a citizen of 'Center' from the start...
Then you didn't actually need to go through all those dangerous
battles in the Colosseum. Well, you are not someone who belongs
there anymore...
Go then. Hurry on to 'Center'..."
Screen fades.
Next you find yourself in what looks like a control room in the 'Center'
in 'Center'. A priest is standing in front of you.
Bishop of 'Center':
"And so the two of you come here. Or should I say both of you
*returned* here. Anyhow, I am glad you are all right.
This 「しみんＩＤカード」(Citizen ID Card) is yours. At last
I can give it back to its rightful owner."
You get 「しみんＩＤカード」(Citizen ID Card).
Bishop of 'Center':
"Now then, Hiroko. Our glorious Temple Knights are not supposed to
just leave 'Center' and go outside whenever they please. We will
listen to your explanation in there.
Someone, take Hiroko away."
Two Temple Knights appear, to take her away.
Hiroko:
"Thank you for all your help Aleph. Pity we did not find the boy.
I hope we will meet again, one day..."
She is led away.
Bishop of 'Center':
"Aleph !
It is good, that you have returned to us. When he kidnapped you
from 'Center' Mekata erased your memory. So you probably do not
remember what you were originally meant to do.
Aleph !
You are to become Messiah. You were born to a destiny of becoming
Messiah. Your astounding power is there in order to save the people.
Here, in this place which once bore the name of 'Tokyo', we have
created the city of 'Millenium'. Created it to save all the people
abandoned to cruel game of survival in our ruined, broken world.
To make into reality the dream of Thousand Year Kingdom, where all
people live out their lives in peace and harmony.
But to make our 'Millenium' into a true Thousand Year Kingdom there
was a need for Messiah to guide us. And that is what you were born
to. You are undoubtedly the man whom God had sent amongst us to
become a Messiah. God has also given his Messiah a suitable partner.
Beth ! Come in !"
A very cute girl in Messiah colours runs in.
Beth:
"Welcome back... Well, I say that, but I am sure you do not remember me.
Aw, poor Aleph...
But from now on I will stay by your side. If you will keep remembering
things, even little by little, then one day we will have our old Aleph
back completely. I will not be parted from you again..."
Beth joins the party.
Bishop of 'Center':
"Aleph ! A terrible thing happened in Holy Town. King Frost has
frozen the whole area up and Basilisk is spreading its poison gas
around. Thousands have died. Please save the people of Holy Town.
Take the west exit from 'Center'. The passcode '0352', should
get you into the Holy Town."
You leave the Control room. You are now on the 21F of the main building
of the 'Center'. Go down to 20F. There are shops here, Terminal, other
facilities. Explore, look around, chat to the residents. But before leaving
this floor, make sure you use Virtuals. Choose the first course. First time
you do so, you will see Steven again. Follow him, as before, and you will get
talk to him again.
Steven:
"So you are coming to Virtual Battler regularly now, for some
serious training ? Good idea, good idea.
Is the Demon Summoning Program working properly ?
I have something here for you. I didn't give it to you first
time around. but I think you are OK for it now.
It's a 'Devil Analyze' plugin. It will, from now on, record the data
on the demons meet. I think it should come in handy, so use it
well."
You receive 'Devil Analyze'.
Steven:
"I look forward our next meeting."
Now follow Bishop's instructions. Exit the control tower, take the western
passage, enter '0352' code at the locked door. You will emerge in the Holy Town.
In Holy Town at some point you will be attacked by Jaryuu Basilisk. He
will either breath poison gas at you and run, just run or will stay to fight.
If he stays to fight you can kill him, but be careful - he is rather tough.
Head past the highway to the Messiah church. Enter it. In one of the
rooms is King Frost. As you enter room, he speaks:
King Frost:
"Hiii ! Hoo ! Hihohiho ! Hiihoo ! Hii ! Hoo !
We are very pleased. We can freeze whatever we like...
Hi-hoo... Hi-ho ?
What ? You came to try and stop us ? We will freeze you !
Hii ! Hoo !"
You fight Maou King Frost. If you beat him, he disappears.
After you kill King Frost the frost covering Holy Town melts. All
the frozen doors unlock.
Once you have killed both King Frost AND Basilisk, the Holy Town is saved.
So you can go back to control tower of the 'Center' and speak to the Bishop
once more.
As you enter Control Room, he speaks:
Bishop:
"Aleph !
Thank you for exterminating the demons in Holy Town.
Meanwhile, Hiroko has told us about Hanada's death. It would seem
he had far too much confidence in his skills as a sorcerer...
Only Mekata remains now. But where on Earth could he be ? Who knows
what he will do, if we leave him be. He is even more dangerous than
Hanada."
Voice:
"Bishop-sama !"
A priest runs in.
Priest:
"Bishop-sama ! A most horrible thing has happened..."
He tells bishop his story.
Bishop:
"...Thank you, I appreciate your efforts."
Priest leaves. Bishops turns back to you.
"...Aleph !
Again a disaster strikes us. Betelgius has appeared in the mines
under the Factory Area. And, perhaps because of that, our flocks
of Deminandi that we raise for food have started going berserk.
This endangers all our people who work in Factory Area. Please
defeat Betelgius and Deminandi and save the people of the Factory.
Take southern exit from 'Center' and go underground. The passcode
to enter the Factory Area is 6191."
You leave the control room. Do whatever preaparations you feel
necessary and follow Bishop's instructions on how to get to Factory.
First go to the farm, to the west of entrance. As you arrive,
you meet a girl working there.
Girl:
"All of a sudden, our Deminandi have went berserk. They are dangerous.
Do not let them close to you.
Aaah ! Here they come again !"
Demonoid Deminandi appears. You fight it. If you beat it, girl says:
"Thanks to you, the rest of the Deminandi have calmed down.
Thank you !"
Now go to the entrance to the underground excavation and go down to the
B3F. In one of the rooms there, you will find Datenshi Betelgius. You will
fight him. If you beat him, he dies and the worker appears.
Man:
"Thank you for beating Betelgius. Now we can work properly again."
After you have both killed Betelgius and calmed down Deminandi, go back
to the 'Center' to report to the Bishop.
When you enter the Control room, you will be met by Zain.
Zain:
"Good work. Our thanks. You have saved man people's lives.
By the way there is a place I would like you to see. You should
go and visit 'Arcadia' Area. It is a district of the Tokyo Millenium
in which the dream of Thousand Year Kingdom is being made real.
Also, Gimmel lives there. Do you remember him ? If you still don't,
you should pay him a visit.
To go to Arcadia take the eastern passage from 'Center'.
The passcode is 9103."
Well, do what the nice man said. Take the eastern passage. When you
arrive at the locked door, enter the pass code and use the Terminal room
beyond. It will transport you to Arcadia.
Lush green land - forests, lakes, small buildings scattered through
the fields. People leading idyllic, peaceful existence.
If you wish, you can talk to various residents of Arcadia by entering
their houses. To find Gimmel, whose house is hidden in a small forest,
walk 'into' the trees just west of Messiah building. You will arrive
at his house shortly. Enter it.
Gimmel:
"It's been a long time, wasn't it Aleph...
I am Gimmel.
What do you make of the Arcadia Area ?
While you were missing, I have made this area into an ideal
world. You know that what the Millenium is aiming at to make the
dream of Thousand Year Kingdom real, right ?
Well the Arcadia area is the test case to determine what
the world will be like when Thousand Year Kingdom becomes reality.
Here there is no fighting with demons nor any conflicts between
people. Everyone lives in peace and harmony.
It is when the whole world become like this, that we will be able say
that Thousand Year Kingdom became reality.
If you like this place, Aleph, feel free to come back at any time.
You are always welcome here.
And also, could tell Zain of 'Center' for me that Arcadia has been
a great success."
You exit the room. Go back to the Messiah Church and use the Terminal
to transport back to 'Center'. Something is obviously amiss, however, because
the enemy counter is flashing orange and you get attacked by demons. Halfway
to the Control room you are met by Zain. He shouts:
Zain:
"Oh ! Aleph !
It's terrible !
We must hurry, there's no time to talk. The Bishop will fill you in
on the details..."
Continue to the Control room. As you enter it, Bishop addresses you.
Bishop:
"My God ! The demons have managed to enter the 'Center'. And that is
not even the worst of it.
A false Messiah has appeared !
He - very skillfully - captured the imagination of the masses.
If we do not do something about him, Millenium will be thrown into
chaos.
Reports of false Messiah have came in from Holy Town and Valhalla,
but we do not know precisely where he currently is. Who and for what
purpose would call himself Messiah ? You must find the answer to that."
Some bar conversations in Valhalla - and the M.N.N. broadcast, if you
bother to watch the telly - tell you that the fellow who is claiming to be
the Messiah is called Dareth and that he is currently in Colosseum, waiting
to do batttle with you. So head to Valhalla to Colosseum. Enter the Colosseum
and head for the entrance to the arena. Colloseum official will meet you there.
Colloseum Official:
"So you have come, Champion.
You will be fighting with Dareth here.
Do you understand why ?"
If you say no, he says:
"Then I shall tell you about it.
Dareth is the man whom people of the Millenium recently started
to think to be the Messiah. Indeed he claims that he is the one,
true Messiah, and wishes to battle with you to prove it.
You and Dareth are both said to be Messiah. Fight between you will
be interesting and quite a good deal for me. So I have arranged for
this special match."
You are asked if you understood.
If you say yes, he continues:
"Then go. Dareth is waiting for you inside."
You ascend to the arena.
Voice:
"So he comes !
Aleph ! The Anti-Messiah ! The one who offers the hand of false help,
who leads people astray !
For the sake of the world, for the sake of the people, I can not
let you live."
You find yourself in familiar dungeon of the Colosseum. Make your way
through to the center. Halfway through to the entrance to the arena, you will
hear a voice.
Voice:
"Look !
Here comes the imposter, the false Saviour, the Anti Messiah !"
Enter the ring. You are then confronted by Dareth.
Dareth:
"So you've come this far.
But it is the will of God, that you, the imposter, are to perish here !
Anti-Messiah ! Prepare yourself !"
You fight Senshi Dareth. You beat him first time and he says:
Dareth:
"*I* am the Saviour ! In the name of Messiah, I shall defeat you !"
You fight him again. When you beat him second time, he says:
Dareth:
"Taste the power of the True Messiah !"
He hits Aleph for 100+ hit points. He laughs.
Dareth:
"You are a stubborn one !
But - this is the end !"
Beth throws herself at Dareth.
Beth:
"Watch out !
Aleph, get back !
Aaaaaaaah !"
Dareth unleashes his spell. The explosion surrounds them both. Beth falls
to the ground. Dareth survives. He stand up and shouts:
Dareth:
"Yo...you bastard ! How dare you use a girl as a shield !"
You fight him again. This time, when you beat him, he is finished. He falls
onto the ground crying:
Dareth:
"Why...did I...
I...who...should be...Messiah... why...did...I...lose...
Why..."
You are asked, if you want to finish off Dareth. [1]
If you answer yes to [1], Beth appears:
"Aleph, no...
Don't... kill him..."
You are asked if you are quite sure you want to finish off Dareth. [2]
If you answer yes to [2], Beth says:
"No... you mustn't kill him..."
and then it continues as if you answered no to [1].
If you answer no to [2], Beth says:
"You've... changed your mind..."
and then it continues as if you answered no to [1].
If you answer no to [1], Beth appears:
Beth:
"Listen to me, Aleph...
I am finished now... But I want him to live...
And I want you to live too...
My duty was to help you...
It was only... a short while... but while I was...
with you... I was... happy..."
With these words she dies.
Dareth:
"Shi..shit...
I won't forget you this...!"
Dareth flees. Bishop appears, leading a crowd of people.
Bishop:
"Dareth, who falsely named himself the Messiah, was defeated !
As was written in the gospels of our Lord, the Anti-Messiah,
who attempts to leads the people astray, has appeared and was slain
at the hands of true Messiah !
Aleph, beyond any doubt, is a true Messiah !
At last God sent a Saviour amongst us !"
Voice:
"Hurrah to Messiah Aleph !"
Eventually you leave the Colosseum. Outside you are met by a child.
Child:
"A strange old man told me to give you this. Here !"
Child gives you a note. The note contains the following:
"I would like to tell you the truth about what is happening.
I ask you to come to the back of the Gaia Temple on the 1F of
the Slum Town.
Mekata."
You get 「めかたのメモ」(Mekata's Note).
If you now consult the Bishop in the control room in the 'Center' he will
tell you:
Bishop:
"It seems that the cause of the earthquakes, that recently started
to occur more and more frequently, lies in the Underworld.
By the way, about the missing Dr. Mekata. It seems he is hiding
in Slum Town."
So head off to the Slum Town, to the Gaia Temple specified in Mekata's
note. As you enter the room, Mekata will greet you.
Mekata:
"It's been a long while...
Aleph...! It's me...!
Although, you probably do not remember...
I heard all sorts of rumors. You power appears to have turned out
to be more than anything I've anticipated. Are your memories starting
to come back now ?
Anyhow, the time has come to tell you the truth about yourself.
But before that, I have one thing to ask of you. Remember the girl
from 'Center' who came looking after you ? Well, she got imprisoned
and is now held in the Factory area.
Will you not free her ? She merely went outside 'Center' to look for
the little boy who went missing. And now 'Center' will put her to trial
as a deserter.
Please, Aleph, free her. If you will do so, I will tell you
everything...
To get to the place where she is kept, you will have to pass through
the Underworld. Ask the man in the westernmost part of the passage
joining the Valhalla and 'Center', and he should show you the way.
Please - I have not one to ask this of but you..."
Do as he says and seek out the man in the passage between 'Center' and
'Valhalla'. The man will tell you following.
Man:
"So, you've listened to what old man Mekata had to say...
I will let you pass through here then. The passcodes you will
to get where you are going are
1213 1834 9192.
but which to use where, I do not know. You whould be able to
figure it out yourself..."
Pass through the door, the man was guarding. Down the stairs, into
the elevator and down to B7F. At the entrance to the level, you will be met
by Dareth.
Dareth:
"So you've came, Aleph.
Here, now, I shall pay you back for my disgrace at the Colloseum !"
You fight Senshi Dareth. Again. If you beat him, he cries:
Dareth:
"Damn ! You will pay for this !
I am not giving up yet !"
As he leaves, he drops something.
You pick up the 「火星のピラー」(Pillar of the Mars).
Go through the door and shortly you will emerge in the Underworld. There is
not much available to you - the only other things in the area are a hokora
(small shrine used in Shinto rituals) and an entrance into the side of a cliff.
The hokora bit is - for now - optional, so enter the door at the side of the
cliff. Explore the area. There are two ways into the camp - one by opening all
three doors and fighting the boss who guards the passage and the other by
exploring the are between second and third codelock, until you find a room with
a child-like figure standing in the middle.
Naja:
"Now, you are quite a nice bloke...
I like you.
I will become one of your Allies."
You are asked if you want to let her to become your ally.
If you answer yes, she says:
Naja:
"Ufufu.
You'll let me become you Ally...?
Thankies..."
If you answer no, she says:
"What ? A nice bloke like you shoudn't be shy...!"
Either way, she will join the party.
Naja:
"You want to go to the concentration camp, no ?
I can show you little something..."
She takes you to the door outside the place with steel grating. Step in.
Seeing the grating, Naja will speak:
"This is the way to the Factory Area Concentration Camp.
You want to go ?"
If you answer no, you just leave.
If you answer yes, Naja opens the grating and you can pass through.
So answer yes. Get in the the elevator and ride up to B1. On that level
you will find Zain, standing outside one of the doors.
Zain:
"So you've come, Aleph.
I am sorry, but I can not let you free her. Hiroko was imprisoned
for commiting a crime, for leaving the 'Center' without a permission.
I do understand her explanations, but breaking the laws of
the 'Center' is a crime.
All the laws must be obeyed. All the crimes must be atoned for.
If you are breaking the law, Aleph, you leave me no choice but
to fight you. I do not want to defy the orders of the 'Center'."
You fight Senshi Zain then. If you beat him, he says:
Zain:
"Well fought indeed. You sure are the Valhalla Champ.
This battle helped me to make up my mind. Certainly the laws must
be obeyed. But *mistaken* laws must be corrected. I shall no
longer blindly follow the orders of the 'Center'.
I have decided to go and do what I feel I should be doing.
You go and help Hiroko. But at the moment she is not quite her
usual self. Getting her to come with you won't be easy..."
Once he leaves, you enter the cell where Hiroko is kept.
Hiroko:
"Who ? Aleph ?
I have nothing to do with you. Go away."
She will not move.
(If Naja isn't summoned)
You hear Naja's voice:
"I... will help this girl... will help this girl..."
(If Naja is currently summoned)
You are given a choice:
Take her out by force Give up
If you choose to give up, you leave.
If you try to take her out by force, you open the cell and she cries:
Hiroko:
"What are you doing ? Get away from me !
I am *supposed* to stay here !
Stop it !"
Naja appears.
Naja:
"Is this girl your lover ?"
If you answer no, she says:
"But you do love her, don't you...?
I can tell, I can tell..."
If you answer yes, she says:
Naja:
"Liar.
You have not held her hand, you have not kissed her.
Liar. Liar. Liar. Liar."
Either way, she continues with:
"I...
It looks like there is no place for me in your heart.
But if I give my power to Hiroko... If I were be inside Hiroko too...
Then every time you think of her, you'd also be thinking about me...
I decided, I decided !
I will give her my power..."
Naja fuses herself with Hiroko. All Hiroko's abilities are increased by
one.
Hiroko:
"Eh... What was I doing... ?
It feels like from the moment I was taken to the Factory, I was
controlled by something... by someone...
And you, you came to save me... Thank you, Aleph.
How did you find out where I was kept ?"
....you've met Mekata !?
Quickly, let's go and meet him. He must know the truth of it.
The truth which I am seeking..."
Hiroko joins the party. (Yaaaaaaaay !! - Re-Miel). Now take the staircase
up to the 1F and find the exit. You will emerge at the deepmost level of the
Factory mines. Yes, that's right - the Underworld passage was merely a side
entrance to the Concentration Camp it actually belongs to the Factory Area.
You will see more of it later. But now go across the screen to the other
building on the level (you will only see it, when you are up close) enter it and
take the elevator down to B7F. You are now back to the big level below the
Concentration Camp. Re-trace your steps, pass back through the Underworld
and up to Valhalla-'Center' passage. Just before the exit to Valhalla you
are met by Zain.
Zain:
"Oh my God...
Valhalla was swallowed up by Maou Abaddon.
It has to be the doing of the 'Center'. Looks like to have their
precious Thousand-Year Kingdom completed, they no longer choose
their methods. We can't let them go on like this.
Someone... must *do* something...
But... where is Maou Abaddon... Is he in the Underworld ?"

You can try going out into Valhalla - but you will find that where
Valhalla area once was, there is now but a rift in the space. It was
indeed swallowed by Maou Abaddon. As you turn to go back to the
'Center' you hear someone's voice.
Voice:
"Hey ! You are Aleph, aren't you ?
It's me ! It's me !
Cerberos."
Majuu Cerberos appears.
Cerberos:
"It was terrible what happened. I almost got swallowed up by Abaddon
along with the rest of Valhalla. Madam's mansion got swallowed along
with Madam herself. I owe the lady quite a lot, but I couldn't get
there in time to save her.
By the way, may I join you ? I like strong people like yourself...
Aah... Madam was a strong person too....
Come, let me join. I hardly make a poor Ally, do I ?"
Cerberos joins the party.
Well, the course of action is clear. You must save Valhalla. You must
find Mekata again and learn the truth from her. Truth about your birth,
truth about the 'Center' and the whole of Tokyo Millenium.
The only clue you have as to Maou Abaddon's whereabouts is that he
might be in the Underworld. And so to the Underworld you must go...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 2 - "In the cave of the mountain king..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, first you could try going to 'Center', to find out just what is going
on. But you will find that the doors of the 'Center' tower are shut. Looks
like Zain might have been right.
So - Underworld. But how would one get there. Well, if you need information
first thing to do is go around the bars and listen to the rumors.
In the bar of Factory area, you will just hear the vague rumors that
Underworld lies deep in the ground below the Millenium. When you go to
the Holy Town, however, you will start hearing rumors that Zain has betrayed
'Center'. Indeed, if you listen to what TV towers are broadcasting,
you will hear the following:
"M.N.N. - Millenium News Network. We report all the lastest
information reports. Today we have something very regrettable to
tell you. Zain, whom a lot of you might know, has betrayed
the 'Center'. He appears to be spreading false rumors about
them, full of all sorts of malicious disinformation.
With this betrayal of his...."
Suddenly image of Zain appears on the screen:
"Allow me shed some light on the true aims of the 'Center', the
organization which rules the Millenium.
Peace-filled Thousand Year Kingdom, that 'Center' is promising
to construct will be the world in which only a handful of chosen
people will live. Millenium, in the first place, was constructed
as a tool for selection of the people who will be permitted to live
in the Thousand Year Kingdom. When that is done, Millenium will
become useless...
...and will be obliterated !
Already the Valhalla Area became useless. And so the 'Center'
had disposed of it, by having it swallowed by Maou Abaddon.
The fate of Valhalla Area today...
...is the fate of the whole of Millenium tomorrow !"
Now go to the Bar of the Holy Town. The conversations there will
have changed. You will hear that the Stalkers who were blocking the passage
to the Underworld in the Grand Church of the Holy Town are gone. How nice.
So set out towards the Grand Church. As you are walking on the overhead map,
you will run into Zain in front of a crowd of people.
Zain:
"Listen to me !
'Center' has had Valhalla swallowed up by Abaddon !
Why did they do it ? It is simply because they do not need
Valhalla anymore ! This isn't just someone else's problem,
this concerns us all ! The fate of Valhalla today is the fate of
the Holy Town tomorrow ! Other areas of Millenium are nothing
but tools to them !
The only ones to live in the true Thousand Year Kingdom...
...will be the citizens of the 'Center' themselves !
Yo, Aleph. You heard my speech ?
I have decided to make a stand against the 'Center'.
Maybe if we reveal to the whole of Millenium what the 'Center'
is aiming to do, it will cause them to re-evaluate their approach.
What they are now doing is simply wrong. According to their
current plans, most of the Millenium's population will be quite
simply abandoned..."
With that he leaves. As for you - continue through the Holy Town and to
the Church. Go up to the 3F. Go to the door, where normally a Stalker would
tell you that they are looking for treasure and can not let you thr1ough.
Instead, you will be met there by Dareth. That gentleman really, really
doesn't appear to give up.
Dareth:
"Aleph ! This time I won't lose !"
You fight Senshi Dareth. What else is new under the God's blue skies.
If you beat him, he cries out:
Dareth:
"Shit ! Lost again...."
He flees. Beyond the door is the elevator. It takes you down to 1F. There
you will find another elevator. That will take you down to B60F. All the way
to the Underworld. Go west and enter the small building which takes
you into a large underground area. This is what once used to be the
district of Shinjuku area.
Shortly into it, you are met by a Fairie.
Fairie:
"Oh ! You are new here, aren't you...?
Did you escape from the Millenium too ?"
Then a litle while afterwards, a familiar figure blocks your way.
Dareth: (Does this man, like, EVER gives up ? - Re-Miel)
"So you came !
Aleph ! This time, I will definitelly stop you !
I won't try to inflict physical damage this time ! In fact, you
won't even know that I have done anything to you. But it should
stop you surer than anything I tried before.
Go, Puck !"
Yousei Puck:
"All right !
This is gonna make you feel *real* good !
Catch !"
Puck sprinkles Aleph with 「浮気そう露」('Dew of Unfaithfulness').
Hiroko:
"Watch out !"
The dew settles on Hiroko instead.
Puck:
"Oh, no !
Sorry... Sorry...
Bye !"
Puck runs away.
Dareth:
"Crap !
Did Puck mess it up !?
Damnations !!"
Hiroko:
"Aaah...
Dareth-sama...
So you are the man I was searching for...!"
Dareth:
"Oh.. oh no !
Get away ! Do not come near me..."
Dareth flees.
Hiroko:
"Whe...where are you going ? Dareth-sama, wait !"
Hiroko runs off, chasing after Dareth.
Elven girl appears.
Elven girl:
"Uhm... Erm... As a matter of fact...
The 'Dew of Unfaithfulness' that Puck sprinkled on that lady is
a magic potion of sorts, that makes one to fall in love with
a first one sees.
It was supposed to be sprinkled at you... so that... so that
you... so that you would fall in love with me... Anuune...
I am really... I am really sorry !"
She runs off.
Well, this is a bother. And we only just saved Hiroko too. So go
to the town and enter the Drug shop (there are two entrances, front
and back. It doesn't matter which one you choose). You will see a familiar
figure mixing potions.
Anuune:
"Ah... Sorry...
The shop is....
Oh... A..Aleph-san...
O-only Oberon, the King of Fae, can lift the spell cast by
the sprinkling of the "Dew of Unfaithfulness.
If... if you want me, I can... I can try and ask Oberon-sama
to lift the spell for you..."
Answer yes:
"Then... then I will try and plead with Oberon-sama for you..."
Well, now you have to find King Oberon. Go to north-eastern part of the
level. Shortly out of the central part, you will meet a small, wiry creature.
Goblin:
"Puck is not really a bad fellow at heart...
It's just that his pranks sometimes get a bit too harsh...
You better take care too..."
Continue searching the level until you find the staircase. Go down
to B1F. Oberon's throne-room will
be righ in front of you. Enter it and Oberon will meet you.
Oberon:
"I have heard the story from Anuune. That rascal Puck is up
to his usual trouble again....
He probably thought I would be really angry at him, because he
went out the 1F and fleed east from there.
Human ! If I am to help you, first you must catch Puck and
obtain from him the "Dew of Unfaitfulness."
Go back to 1F. On the way you will meet Goblin, who will say:
Goblin:
"Are you looking for Puck ? It seems Puck is playing around
in a dungeon to the east."
Go to the exit of the Shinjuku and go to find the Puck's Playground,
which is a building in the eastern part of the accessible overhead
map. Enter it. Shortly after, you will meet Puck:
Puck:
"Ah...! You are Aleph !
Oh, dear...!
Sorry for sprinkling your friend with "Dew of Unfaithfulness".
But I had no choice. Dareth has made me do it.
Please forgive me."
You are asked, whether you want to forgive Puck and stop chasing him.
If you say yes, he says:
"Hehehehe. Thanks."
and runs away.
If you say no, he says:
"I beg you ! Forgive me !"
Then he does something nasty (poison, sleep, damage, seal off magic)
to the party and runs away.
To catch him and get "Uwakisou no Tsuyu", you must keep refusing to forgive
him (and you will encounter him a LOT), take the damage and keep moving until i
you will corner him in his hideout on 3F. There will be teleporters, pits and
every kind of fun to make your life miserable.
When you do so, he will say:
Puck:
"Oh, bother ! You found me !
Well, you can have the "Dew of Unfaithfulness", if you give me &10000."
You are asked whether you want to give him &10000.
If you answer yes, you give him &10000 and receive the dew.
If you answer no, he says:
"Just kidding, just kidding...
Here, I'll give it to you."
He holds out you "Dew of Unfaithfulness".
You are asked, if you want to take it.
If you say yes, you get it.
If you say no, he says:
"Aw... You... you _are_ angry, right ?
Here, I will give you &10000 too. Please forgive me..."
You are asked if you would forgive him.
If you say yes, you get the dew and &10000.
If you say no, Puck runs off - but leaves the dew with you.
Either way, you get the dew so you can go to Shinjuku to see King Oberon.
Oberon:
"You brought me the "Dew of Unfaithfulness"...
Good work.
I shall lift the spell cast on Hiroko. Go and and find her now. "
Go down to B2F. Outside one of the doors, you will be met by Anuune.
Anuune:
"In there...in there are Hiroko-san... and him... uhm... Dareth-san.
I got told by Oberon-sama to come here but...
Please, Aleph-san, let's go in together..."
Well, turn right and enter the room. Hiroko is shouting at Dareth:
Hiroko:
"Just what do you think you are doing !
Dragging me forcibly to such a place !
Lech ! Molester ! Pervert !"
Dareth:
"What !
*You* were the one who followed *me* here !
Shit ! I did not do anything !
What the heck is going on ? This girl sure has some mood swings !"
Hiroko:
"Aah ! Aleph ! You came to rescue me !"
Hiroko returns to the party.
Suddenly Anuune sprinkles "Dew of Unfaithfulness " on Dareth.
Dareth:
"Aaah...
What a beautiful elf you are !
I will dedicate myself to your beauty !"
Anuune:
"Erm... erm......
It makes me... it makes me very happy to hear... to hear you saying
such things...
Aleph-san. Thank you very much. Take good care of Hiroko-san."
Well, continue downwards in this dungeon, until you will emerge to yet
another section of the Underworld. This is what used to be Akasaka district
of Old Tokyo.
Go and find Akasaka itself. It now became a city of Chirei.Go through it,
to the elevator, down to the B4F and out into Underworld again. The old
Roppongi disctrict. You will see a number of Altar Stones around. Enter the
small building right in front of you. It is Roppongi itself. First head for
the virtuals. Use it and you will meet Steven again.
Steven:
"So you are still alive. Splendid, splendid.
I'd guess you are starting to feel that maximum amount of demons
you can stock is a bit too low. So I will give you a new version of
Demon Sumoning Program, which allows you to store up to the total
of 9 demons.
I suceeded in making the size of the data used up by an Ally smaller.
As result, it is now possible to store more Allies in the same
amount of memory."
Your Ally Stock is increased up to 9.
Steven:
"I am hoping to eventually make the Ally data size even smaller,
but it will take some time."
Now go down to B2, then using elevator at the opposite corner of the
B2, ascend up to the different part of 1F.
As you enter a room, you meet two mutants with a small figure standing
between them.
Voice:
"Go away ! Stay away from me !"
Mutant:
"Leave immediately ! Or you will regret it !"
Voice:
"Wait !
You do not look like you've came here to kill me.
Humans who came to the Underworld...
Will you listen to a request of mine ?" [1]
You are given a choice to say yes or no.
If you say no to [1], the figure speaks:
"I see...
You wouldn't listen..."
And you just leave.
If you say yes to [1], the guards part and a small mutant appears from
behind them.
Hiruko:
"I see... You will listen...
Aleph, were you ?
I am... Hiruko.
As for my request...
It is to revive Lord Masakado. Lord Taira-no-Masakado, the protector
god of Tokyo, whose body was torn into six pieces and scattered.
Our Lord fell victim to the in-fighting between the Yamato gods."

(Re-Miel's Note: Yamato was one of the countries in the ancient Japan.
Although these days 'Yamato' is sometimes used to mean the whole of
'ancient Japan'.)

"Since Ookuninushi of Izumo was made to hand the rule of the land
over to Amatsukami, they governed it and Kunitsukami had to obey
them."

(Re-Miel's Note: This is a famous story in Japanese mythology. Ookuninushi
is the descendant of Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Kushinada-hime. Susanoo-no-Mikoto
was exiled from Takamagahara (The Sky Land) by Amaterasu-oomikami, the leader
of Amatsukami (Gods of Heaven). After being exiled, he defeated the great
serpent Yamato-no-Orochi, married Kushinada-hime and started to rule
the lands below. His descendants became Kunitsukami (Gods of Earth).
Ookuninushi (also known as Oonamuchi) became their ruler.
But Amaterasu was not happy about this state of affairs. The lands
below must be ruled by her son Amenooshihomimi-no-mikoto. So she sent
an envoy after envoy to the world below to force Ookuninushi to hand
the rule of it over to her son. Eventually, she suceeded in her intent.
The delegation of Amatsukami - headed by Ninigi-no-mikoto (grandchild
of Amaterasu) descended from Takamagahara to the world below and started
to rule it with Kunitsukami as their servants.)

"But near the end of last century the demons appeared once more
in our world, causing great chaos and confusion everywhere.
Including the land of Yamato - and the Kunitsukami saw it
as their chance. As an opportunity to throw off the yoke which</pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
was forced on them millenia ago.
Kunitsukami wanted to seal Amatsukami away and rule the land
of Yamato once more. But their desire got used by the demons.
Lord Masakado was torn to pieces and Kunitsukami, too, have been
sealed into the small shrines ('hokora') in the Underworld here.
But Kunitsukami, before they got sealed away, have secretly managed
to locate all the scattered pieces of the Lord Masakado's body.
At present, each of them has a part of the Lord's body.
If you wish to bring peace to the long-suffering city of Tokyo,
you must release the seals on Kunitsukami and resurrect
Lord Masakado. And if you do, then mayhaps my sin of betraying
Amatsukami and giving the demons opportunity to enter the land
will be forgiven..."

Then you are asked, if you want to listen to his speech once more. [2]
If you answer no to [2], he asks:
"Then will you release Kunitsukami from their seals and resurrect
Lord Masakado ?" [3]
If you answer no to [3], he says:
"Are you are saying, that you refuse...
But sooner or later, you will *need* the power of Lord Masakado for..."
If you answer yes to [3], he says:
"I see. Thank you.
I am powerless in face of it - but you, you might yet do it...
Good luck..."
Now you have to go and collect the six pieces of the body of Lord Masakado.
Five of them you get from the Kunitsukami sealed in the hokora once you
release them from their seal. Last one, the head, you get from that Stalker
on 3F of the Grand Church in Holy Town.
Checklist:

1. '公の胴' (Masakado's Chest) - Kotoshironushi (Hokora #1)
2. '公の左腕' (Masakado's Right Arm) - Oonamuchi (Hokora #2)
3. '公の右足' (Masakado's Right Foot) - Ooyamatsumi (Hokora #3)
4. '公の左腕' (Masakado's Left Arm) - Sarutahiko (Hokora #4)
5. '公の左足' (Masakado's Left Foot) - Sukunahikona (Hokora #5)
6. '公の首' (Masakado's Head) - Stalker (Grand Church, 3F)

When you get all the six parts, go back to Roppongi and talk to Hiruko again.
Hiruko:
"You have gathered all the parts of Lord Masakado's body ?
Then next you need to fuse them together."
Well go to any Jakyou. As you enter it, the Master will say:
Master:
"Ooh ! You have gathered all the pieces of Lord Masakado's body,
haven't you ? Then we must certainly fuse them.
Bringing Lord Masakado back to life through fusion is the highest
pleasure I, as a Master of a Jakyou, can think of.
Please, this way..."
You are asked, if you want to fuse the body of Lord Masakado.
If you say no, you just leave.
If you say yes, the fusion goes ahead.
The figure:
"I... am... Tyrano.. Masakado..."
You receive 「将門の体」(Masakado's Body).
Master:
"Uhh.. We got the body of Lord Masakado, but it seems something is
still lacking..."
Well, Hiruko should know what is going on. Go to him.
Hiruko:
"To bring Lord Masakado back to life, truth to be told, you need
his soul, which I have in my possession. When you place the soul in
his body, Lord Masakado's resurrection will be complete.
You have done well in putting Lord's body back together.
Let's us insert the soul then."
The soul is placed into the body. The body... well... _changes_...
Hiruko:
"Lord Masakado has been resurrected..."
Lord Masakado:
"Ooh...
Every vein in my body is overflowing with sheer power...
...Hiruko ?
I was brought back to life again ?"
Hiruko:
"Lord !
It has been the work of this man here. It is Aleph whom we have
to thank for your resurrection."
Lord Masakado:
"I see...
Aleph, is it ?
I owe you my gratitude.
By the way, Hiruko...
We must hurry, must we not ?"
Hiruko:
"Yes, my Lord.
Let us depart immediately for the Cave of the Seal (封印の岩戸)."
Well, go to the Cave of Seal. The entrance to it is in the side of
the mountain west of Roppongi. The one sealed by a huge rock. When you
arrive there, Hiruko and Lord Masakado are already there.
Hiruko:
"My Lord ! Please, open the way..."
Lord Masakado:
"As you will, Hiruko-dono..."
The rock, blocking the entry to the mountain, moves.
Lord Masakado:
"It is done.
It was rather... strenous, given that I've just been brought
back to life.
Aleph, I would like to thank you properly for gathering together
my body. I shall give you two gifts."
You then receive as your reward 「太陽のピラー」(Pillar of the Sun) and
「将門の刀」(Katana of Masakado) .
Lord Masakado:
"Now I shall go and rest for a while to recover my strength.
Farewell."
He leaves.
Hiruko:
"Inside this Cave are the sealed Amatsukami.
Hurry !"
You are asked, if you want to go inside.
If you say yes, you enter the Cave of the Seal.
You have to make your way to B4F, lift the seal from Amaterasu (and
the other four Amatsukami if you wish) and then exit the cave. Outside you
will be met by Hiruko and Amaterasu.
Amaterasu:
"Hiruko..."
Hiruko:
"Amaterasu...
Still you shine so brightly...
Without the light in this world, the darkness..."
Amaterasu:
"Hiruko ! You must have suffered too...
To have asked these people to lift the seal from us...
Aleph. Hiroko.
It is you now who are shining bright.
Once more - I thank you.
And now Hiruko... Shall you come with me ? To the Kongou-shinkai...
To heal our wounded bodies..."

(Re-Miel's Note: 'Kongou-shinkai' (金剛神界), meaning literally
'diamond(adamantine) world', is the term that comes to us from buddhist
teachings. Kongou-shinkai is the world of buddhas - eternal, undying,
immutable, pure light. It is the world free of the chains of
the incarnation (輪廻), separate from the Six Worlds of the Karmic
Wheel (六道界). The world that lies beyond the highest of the twenty-eight
Heavens of Ten-kai (the Heavenly World, 天界))

The two of them leave. So much for you going to Makai... It's alright
for some, huh ? Well, time to do what you usually do when stuck for
a place to go - scout the Bars for clues.
In bar in the Akasaka, you meet Louis Cypher again. He tells you
that Abaddon is not in the Underworld. He was betrayed by the 'Center' and
is probably in the Makai right now. From the Green Kobold in the same
bar, you hear something even more interesting:
"I heard of a way to go to the Makai, you see...
Now, how did it go... You gather the 7 Pillars... Yeah, you
gather them... and one of them... Mutant Elder...
Ah, it's no good. I forgot."

Right. Pillars. By now you could (and should) have four of them.
Mercury, Mars, Saturn and Sun. See the Altar Stones description in
Old Roppongi section of the Locations part of the walkthrough for
more detail.
Three more to go. The kobold seemed to think that Mutant Elder
has one. You could go and visit him - he is in B2F of Roppongi. Unfortunately
he won't tell you anything new. Ah, well, back to the drawing board. The other
bunch of rumors you hear - mostly in Holy Town - concerns strange
electro-magnetic wave in the Factory area and Zain raising hell about the
Factory being one big concentration camp.
Might as well help the nice man, if we have nothing better to do...
Go back to the Holy Town and talk to Zain. He is preaching to a crowd
of people you find him if you try to go a bit south from the shopping district.
Zain:
"The Factory, the industrial area in charge of goods manifacture...
The people who work there, they are worked to their deaths ! We
must help them ! We must liberate that concentration camp 'Center'
calls Factory !
...Aleph.
It's as you heard - I am going to the Factory. If you have any
hear left, lend me a hand! Let us save the people of the Factory !"
Well, why not help a nice man ? Go to the Factory Area. Go down to the
mines and out to the B2F level of the overhead map in the mines. Approach
the tunnel leading into the cliffside, where previously Temple Knights
have blocked your way. Now, Zain will be wainting for you there.
Zain:
"Aleph ! I knew you would come !
Let's liberate the people they keep locked up here !"
Zain goes inside. You are asked if you want to go inside as well.
If you answer yes, you enter the bulding. In various rooms, you will find
some people, but none of them want have any wish to be liberated. In the end
of the passageway, you will meet Zain again.
Zain:
"Why ? Why wouldn't any of them try to escape ?
Oh... ! It got to be the tower !
There's something very strange about the top of it..."
He leaves.
Well, exit the camp, go back to the surface of the Factory area and go
to the gate to the tower. When you approach it, you will be asked if you want
to open the door and go inside.
If you answer yes, you enter the tower. Make you way up the floors. On
the 13F, in front of one of the rooms, you will see Zain, lying on the floor.
Zain:
"The overseer... of the Watchtower... was a demon... of all things...
What is... 'Center' thinking....
Be careful... He is strong... I could not handle him on my own..."
You enter the room. On the balcony, Belphegorl is sitting.
Belphegorl:
"Fu-fu-fu-fu...
You are the second ones to come here today.
That's quite a feat, you know, even being able to see this
tower. Still, the last one ran away with his tail between his
legs..."
You fight Maou Belphegor. If you beat him, he says:
Belphegorl:
"That strength...
And all these demons at your side...
What on Earth are you..."
Then go and find the room with Youchou Siren in it. You will see Youchou
Siren sitting in a cage and singing in a sad voice. It is her song that
controls the minds of the people in Factory area. However, at the moment you
can not do anything about it. So get out of the Tower and go back to
the Holy Town. When stuck, cruise the Bars, remember ?
In the Bar in the Holy Town, there will be a drunk who'll tell you
this:
Drunk Man:
"Hey there ! I've got something real sweet to tell you.
But first treat me to a cup of Miracle Tonic."
You are given a choice to do it or not.
If you say no, he says:
"Tight bastard !
Not even a cup, huh..."
If you say yes, he says:
"Thanks muchly.
Now then, listen to what I have to say.
What flows through the air of the 'Factory' is not a electro-magnetic
wave. It's a song. Siren's song. It is said to have ability to ensnare
the mind of anyone who listens to it.
Siren used to live happily in Makai with her lover - but then she
was separated from him and forcibly brought to the 'Factory'. Ever
since her song of grief flows through the air of the 'Factory' -
and people there live under it's thrall. But Siren herself does
not mean to control people's minds. She merely sings out of
the sadness which overflows her.
Poor Siren...
I guess she can't help it but keep singing...."

So to stop the song of the Siren, we have to go to Makai. Wonderful.
Tell us something we do not know. Fortunately, it's Makai, Jim, but not
as we know it.
This is when you get seriously happy that you are reading a walkthrough,
because it is just about to save you hours of pointless wandering about.
Except for that oblique hint you get off of the NPCs in the Holy Town,
you've little to go on to guess what you must do next.
Remember the place in the Grand Church of Holy Town where gate to Makai
can be opened ? And the man in the Holy Town Shopping District who was
telling you about the guy he met, who was talking about going to Makai ?
Well, go to Great Church. On 2F, you will find a room in front of which
you'll hear the loud voice from the inside.
Voice:
"Aargh! That's it, I give up !"
Go in. You will see a man there.
Man:
"...Eh ? What ?
You want to know what am I doing ?"
If you say no, the man replies:
"Who cares if you don't..."
If you say yes, the man will reply:
Man:
"I am a man who had a high ambition of finding a way to Makai....
Still have not succeeded though.
Do you, too, want to know a way of going to Makai ?"
If you say no, the man replies:
"Who cares if you don't..."
If you say yes, he continues:
"Then I will tell you.
First you need to collect four dolls which possess mysterious
powers and then you need to place those dolls in a location
where our world and Makai are close to each other.
If you do it correctly, the Gate to Makai will open.
Problem though is that out of those four dolls, I have only managed
to find one.
This 「眠る人形」(Sleeping Doll).
Say, do you want it ?"
If you say no, he says:
"Well, suit yourself."
If you say yes, he says:
Man:
"All right. I will give it to you."
You receive 「眠る人形」(Sleeping Doll).
"...and with it I hand over to you my ambition of going to Makai.
Do your best."
Well, we have five dolls now. Wait, didn't the nice man say that we
need only four ?
Well, quite.
This is why it didn't work out before, placing dolls near the Gate.
That's why Hanada failed when he tried. One of the dolls he had - and
the ones we picked up after defeating him is obviously a fake. After
thinking about it, 'Dancing Doll' really does seem an odd one out.
So go up to the 3F to the place where Gate is set up.
You will be asked if you want to use the dolls to open the Gate
to Makai. Answer yes.
Then you will be asked if you want to use 「笑う人形」(Laughing Doll).
Answer yes.
Then you will be asked if you want to use 「泣く人形」(Crying Doll).
Answer yes.
Then you will be asked if you want to use 「怒る人形」(Angry Doll).
Answer yes.
Then you will be asked if you want to use 「踊る人形」(Dancing Doll).
That's the odd one out, so answer no.
Then you will be asked if you want to use 「眠る人形」(Sleeping Doll).
Answer yes.
Now the Gate to Makai will open properly.
You are asked, if you want to step through to Makai.
If you say yes, you will enter Makai.
Finally.

After emerging in the Makai, go directly south. Around there you will
be met by a strange man with a guitar.
Petersen:
"...You have come from the physical of flesh, did not you ?
You wouldn't know where my sweetheart is, would you ?
My sweetheart, Siren, was abducted by someone and taken
to the physical world. It was probably becuase of her songs,
they are said to power over people's minds. To tell you the truth,
originally, I too was a captive of her songs. But then, before we
knew it, we fell in love with each other. We were together for
a long time... I not longer have a physical body now, so there is
nothing I can do to help her. I am so sad... so bitter...
Please take me to where she is... I beg you."
You are asked, if you want to take Petersen to Siren. If you say yes,
he says:
Petersen:
"You will take me to where she is ? Thank you !
I can not do much, but I will follow you."
If you want, you can explore around the Tiphareth area of Makai. At
the very least, do the true Arcadia subquest - it reveals some very
interesting things... To do that subquest, explore the burning cross in
the eastern part of the map, check out the Locations section for
more detail. When you are finished, go back to the physical world and head for
the tower in the Factory, to the room on 13F with the Siren in it. As you enter,
you once again see the Youchou Siren singing...
Petersen:
"Siren !
Your song of grief is at an end !
If it is me you long for, I am right here before you !"
Siren:
"Darling ? Is it you ?
I thought I wouldn't ever see you again..."
Petersen:
"Siren !
Siren:
"My dear...!"
Petersen:
"......"
Siren:
"......"
Petersen (standing by Siren's side):
"...
Aleph-san. Thank you so very much...
The two of us will return to Makai now.
Nothing shall ever part us again.
Good-bye !"
You can leave the tower now. Hmm, now what. What is this proper way to
enter Makai then ? Well, when stuck - cruise the Bars. When you get to
the Holy Town, you will see the whole area is in the uproar over
what's being broadcast over the TV Towers. So check it out - you
will see the following broadcast.
Bishop:
"From 'Center' to Zain.
Present yourself at the 'Center', immediately.
In case you will not present yourself at the 'Center' within the day,
we will shall cut off all the supply of air to the Holy Town.
That shall most likely result in deaths of everyone living in
the Holy Town, but we have been left with no other choice.
We repeat.
From 'Center' to Zain.
Present yourself at the 'Center', immediately..."
Seems 'Center' finally means business. Well, can't let them kill off
the whole Holy Town, can we ? So head for the 'Center'. On the way
(if you go from Holy Town), you will meet Zain at the usual spot:
Zain:
"Finally, the Senate has moved against the Holy Town. For the sake
of destroying myself alone, they are ready to destroy the whole Area.
I shall go to the 'Center and fight the Senate. So as to free
the Millenium from their rule and their misguided plans for Thousand
Year Kingdom.
Farewell, everyone..."
He leaves.
You follow.
When you get into the 'Center', before doing anything else, visit
'Virtuals.' There you will meet Steven again.
Steven:
"We meet again, eh ?
Looks like your level has went up quite bit.
Today I will set up one more function you can use on your
Arm Terminal. It is a appraising facility, that allows you
to immediately learn all about an item or a spell.
With it, you won't not need any more Appraise shops... Well,
not quite.
Use it well."
You get Appraise Facility.
Steven:
"See you later."
Now to the bar. There you will hear the following from a Temple Knight.
Temple Knight:
"We shall never forgive Zain for turning traitor.
But unfortunately as he knows the passcode '5261' he can
go up above 21F."
Right, now go to Control room. You will find the Bishop there.
Bishop:
"Aleph...?
It is not up to me now to give orders to you.
The Senators want to talk to you personally.
Go to 22nd floor. The passcode is 2784."
Make your way to the 22F. The Temple Knights who were blocking your way
before will now say:
"We were told to let you pass.
Zain has already went in..."
At some point, an blue robed figure will block your way.
Senator:
"The Senate are mistaken !
They may say that by creating God's Thousand Year Kingdom, they
are bringing about the eternal peace... But in reality, what
they have created is the world where people live in servitude,
deprived of their most basic freedoms !
That is against the will of our Lord..!"
Shortly afterwards a huge stone slab with face carved into it, blocks
the passage in front of you. The face speaks.
Voice:
"Who are thou, that tries to pass here.
If thou art to pass, heed mine words and answer..."

Then you are asked three questions, which you have to answer
'Yes' or 'No' to:

First Question:

「汝の母が悪魔に取りつかれ．．．」

"Thy mother was possessed by a horrible demon. In great pain and agony,
she asks thee for release from her suffering.
Wilst thou finish off your mother ?"

Second Questions:

(YES to first question)

「汝は高い武器を買うため．．．」

"Thou hast with thee &100000 needed to buy a very expensive weapon.
But before thee, thou see crowds of starving people.
Wilst thou give up thy money for their sake ?"

(NO to first question)

「罪も無い少女がとらわれている．．．」

"A innocent girl is being apprehended for the crime she didn't commit.
But thou hast an important pledge to attend to. It leaves thee with
no time to rescue the girl.
Wilst thou rescue her nonetheless ?"

Third Questions:

(YES to the first, YES to the second questions)

"Thou hast prevailed against thy mortal enemy in battle.
Thy enemy hast lost his will to fight and pleadeth for his life.
Wilst thou finish him off ?"

(YES to the first, NO to the second questions)
(NO to the first, YES to the second questions)

「正体不明の集団と出会った．．．」

"Thou hast encountered a group of strangers. Thou both stare at each
other and neither stands ready to give the way.
Wilst thou strike against them before they can strike against thee ?"

(NO to the first, NO to the second questions)

「行方を共にしていた仲間が．．．」

"An ally whom thou shared thy travels with hast fallen in battle.
There is no easy way to take his mortal remains with thee.
Wilst thou abandon thy ally corpse to ravens ?"

----

Depending on your answers, your alignment will receive some shift.
What the face speaks next depends on what will your alignment end up
being:

(Alignment ends up LAW)

「汝は神のため人のため戦う者．．．」

"Thou fighteth for the Lord and for the people.
Thou are the true Messiah. Glory be to thy name..."

(Alignment ends up NEUTRAL)

「汝は何者にも頼らず自らの道を．．．」

"Thou pursueth thy own path relying on noone but thyself.
Long is thy road and many are thy hardships.
Yet great is thy reward."

(Alignment ends up CHAOS)

「汝は戦い混沌をもたらす者．．．」

"Thou bringeth with thee the War and the Chaos unbound...
Praised be thee as a warrior, but cursed are thy blood-stained
hands..."

After then, it is not too long before you shall stand before the entrance
to the hall where Senate hold congress. Just in front of that door, you see
a stone slab with outlines of Zain's body emerging from the surface.
You are told, that Zain was turned into stone.
Step forward and enter the room. You see three old men, in yellow, red and
green robes, sitting on the floor.
Senator:
"You've come chasing after Zain, Aleph ?"
They all stand up.
Senator:
"He ended up a statue of cold stone.
Such is the fate of all traitors !"
Senator:
"You too shall be consigned to oblivion !"
The foremost Senator disappears. The other two transform...
...into Archangel Raphael and Archangel Uriel.
Raphael and Uriel:
"Die ! A failure of a Messiah !"
You fight them. If you beat them, remaining Senator cries:
Senator:
"You will pay for slaying Raphael and Uriel !"
He transforms into Archangel Michael.
Michael:
"Now, I am your opponent !"
You fight him. If you beat him, he says:
Michael:
"Lo... Lord !
Deliver us !
The judgement... on this one..."
He dies. Fourth Senator appears. The one in the blue robe.
Senator:
"Oh. You have slain them all ?
It's a pity... But there was no other way...
There still an enemy left. Take care..."
He heals you and disappears. Above you, a gigantic face materialises...
One God:
"You, who defied me !
I shall destroy you all !"
You fight Shinryou YHVH. He is MEGA-tough. If you beat him, you hear:
Voice of One God:
"Thee, who raised thy blades against me...
Until the end of reincarnation and beyond, cursed be your
souls. Countless disasters shall rain upon your head in
punishment...!"
And then it's gone.
Three Daitenshi - Michal, Raphael and Uriel - who ruled Millenium under
the guise of 'Senate' lie slain.
You leave the hall. That senator, in blue robe, appears before you again.
Senator:
"You've done well, Aleph.
I am..."
He *changes*.
"...Tenshi Gabriel.
Together with Michael and the rest, I have worked, obeying the will
of the Lord, to build the Thousand Year Kingdom, that would be
humanity's salvation...
Well I, at least, have tried to follow the will of the Lord.
...But once the Millenium was finished, Daitenshi started to rule
it. According to the words of the Lord, after Thousand Year Kingdom
stands complete, a Messiah would appear who would guide the people....
But no Messiah appeared in the Millenium. When Messiah that they
waited for did not appear, Daitenshi decided that they will create
their own Messiah. It was there that their actions have parted from
the will of the Lord. And it was there that the Lord had forsaken
Daitenshi. I was told that I was to distance myself from Michael and
follow the true path...
Thanks to you, it was possible to bring Zain back to flesh. He waits
for you in the Control Room right now..."
Gabriel leaves. You make your way to the Control Room.
Zain:
"Thank you, Aleph.
Thanks to you defeating Michael, I too was liberated.
With the Senators gone, no one rules the Millenium now. But
that also means that no one is making sure the place is all
running as it should.
What will happen to Millenium now, that's the main concern..."
Suddenly an alarm goes off throughout the 'Center'.
Voice:
"Emergency ! Emergency !
A tremendous surge of energy has been detected in Holy Town...!
Emergency ! Emergency !
A tremendous surge of energy has been detected in Holy Town...!
Emergency..."
Zain:
"Whatever happened !?
My body has not completely recovered yet, I still can not move
very well. Could you please go to the Holy Town and find out
what happened for me ?"
Well go to the Holy Town. Nothing seems to be amiss near the business
center, so head off in the direction of Grand Church. At some point, you
will encounter a man:
Man:
"To the east of Grand Church the ground is shaking.
Something is wrong..."
As you come near the Church, you see some sort of gigantic drill break
out from the underground. Approach it. There appears to be precious little
you can do about it. So go back to the shopping district. Talk to people
in the bar. Then go back to Zain in the 'Center'.
Zain:
"So the tower which appeared in the Holy Town is a demon's tail...
That must be pretty huge demon. A demon that big, his actual body
must be in Makai. But how should one go to Makai ?"
Well, it always comes down to the same thing - we need to go to Makai.
Unfortunately, we need time to find the 'front entrance', which Louis Cypher
was talking about when you met him in Tiphareth.
Remember that Mutant Elder who is supposed to know something about
one of the 7 Pillars you need to gather to go to the Makai ?
Well, in absence of any other clues we might as well go and visit him
in B3F of Roppongi again.
At first he will speak just as before, but in the end he will add:
"...What ? A huge tower appeared in the world above ?
I think it must be the tail of Maou Moloch. If it's Moloch,
than he lives in the Makai.
I shall give you this. You will need it, if you are to go to
Makai..."
You receive 「金星のピラー」(Pillar of the Venus).
"There are seven Pillars all together. One would need all of
them - having just one is no use. So I'll give mine to you..."

So - Pillars. You need all seven Pillars.
Check Locations file for the checklist of all the Pillars and where to get
them. By now you should definitely have five Pilars: Pillars of Sun, Mercury,
Venus, Mars and Saturn.
The remaining two Pillars are obtained as follows: for the 'Pillar of the
Jupiter', you need to remember the Worker in the Factory Mines who said
that he dug it up the other day. So go and visit him again.
Worker:
"What... What am I doing here ?
I will give you this 「木星のピラー」(Pillar of the Jupiter). Every
time I'd look at it, it would only remind me of how I used dig,
dig, dig... like someone possessed..."
You receive 「木星のピラー」(Pillar of the Jupiter)
Very good. Now the last pillar. For this, go to the Holy Town area
and visit the Disco there again. You learn two interesting new pieces
of information.
A Virtual Girl tells you following:
"Welcome ! In the Virtual space you too...
Argh. It's my day off today...
Oh, yeah. They say that a strange man on a wheelchair was seen
in the cyberspace recently. Even though we never programmed in
anything like that..."
And a woman tells following:
"At the next Rave Party, there's gonna be a Dance Contest.
I am so going to take part. The first prize is the 「月のピラー」
(Pillar of the Moon)."
Well, that makes clear where the last pillar is. But let's deal with
Steven first. Go out of the Disco and head for Virtuals. There you will
meet Steven again:
"I've done it, at last. I've managed to reduce the size of data
block needed to store an Ally, so I've done a new version of
Demon Summoning Program. It allows you to store up to 12 Allies
at the same time."
Your ally stock is increased up to twelve.
"Truth is, we aren't going to meet for a while now.
It's pity, but it can't be helped.
But some day, some place, we will meet again..."
Well, well. The last pillar, now. Enter the Disco during the
Full Moon. You will meet a man there, who will say:
Man:
"It's the full moon night ! At the Moonlight Rave of
the Full Moon Night, LET'S GET DANCING !
First, the Dance Contest.
From the first entry number, LET'S GET DANCING !"
Several people dance for the contest.
Man:
"Come on ! Walk-in participants are also very welcome !
A gorgeous prize is waiting for the winner !
Do we have anyone ?"
You are asked whether you want to join in and participate.
If you say no, the winner of the contest is announced and you leave.
If you say yes, he says:
"All right ! You there !
LET'S GET DANCING !!"
You dance.
Man:
"And now, the announcment of a winner !
The winner is..."
If Aleph's 「魔力」(Magic Power) is 9 or less:
"Girl with entry number 6 ! Congratulations !"
If Aleph's 「魔力」(Magic Power) is 10 or more:
"Our walk in participant !
Congratulations !
We present you with the 「月のピラー」(Pillar of the Moon)
CONGRATULATIONS !"
You receive 「月のピラー」(Pillar of the Moon).
Well, now that you have all the pillars, it is time to go to the Makai
at last. Go to the bottom level of the Underworld, where the Altar Stones
are. Place the first six pillars, one at each Altar Stone:

「水星のピラー」(Pillar of the Mercury)
「金星のピラー) (Pillar of the Venus)
「火星のピラー」(Pillar of the Mars)
「木星のピラー」(Pillar of the Jupiter)
「土星のピラー」(Pillar of the Saturn)

Every time you approach a new altar you are told that one of the Pillars
starts to shine and are asked if you want to place it. Answer yes, at every
altar. When you place all the Pillars, the ground shakes, violently, and
a giant stone face emreges out of the ground in the center of the circle
formed by the six Altar Stones. That's the Gate to the Makai. Approach
it. When you do, you are told that 「太陽のピラー」(Pillar of the Sun),
your last Pillar, starts to shine. Then you place it.
Then the Gate draws upon the six Altar Stones as foci for the spell,
a hexagram of power is formed and then the Gate opens at last...
Transporting you beyond the boundaries of Malkuth, of the physical world,
Assiah, to Yesod, the ninth Sephirah, the lowest Sephirah of the astral
world, Yetzirah. The place which human usually call the Makai (魔界).
You have made your first step up the Tree.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 3 - "The Stairway to Heaven"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shortly into Makai you will meet, right on the overhead map, your
first local:
Makai Ihabitant:
"It's kinda rare that we have visitors from Malkuth...
Oh, 'Malkuth' ? It's the name for your world, the world of humans."

If you turn left right after you meet him, you will arrive to Yesod itself.
Once inside, go to the Terminal first. There, you will be met by Steven.
Steven:
"Long time no see, no ?
Come to think of it, this is the first time we meet outside
the Virtual Space, isn't it ?
This Terminal Stone will allow Recording (saving the game) and
Transmission (teleportation) within the Makai. I will set it up
so that you can use it too.
Meanwhile, you can wait outside."
You go outside. Now you can use the Terminal Stones whenever you wish.
From the conversations in the Bar, you learn several things. Namely, that
the way forward lies through Yetziratic passage, that it is occupied by Hekate,
and that moonlight grants Hekate invulnerability.
Moonlight... Hmm...
So, when you've finished exploring Yesod, enter the Yetziratic Passage.
Exploring around, you will soon find the room with Hekate. Normally,
as you enter it you are met by Hekate.
Hekate:
"By the orders of Lucifer-sama, I am not to let anyone pass.
And weaklings like you can't even touch my moonlight-clad body !"
You are thrown out.
Well let's think. Moonlight grants Hekate her invulnerability ? Then
we shall confront her at a time when there is no moonlight - during the
New Moon phase.
If you do that, then as you confront her she will say:
"By the order of Lucifer-sama, I am not to let anyone pass.
And someone like you I don't even need moonlight to defeat !
Prepare for your death !"
You fight Maou Hekate. If you beat her, she speaks:
"...Lucifer...sama...
They ...are...stro...strong..."
She dies. Now you are asked, where you want to go:
Tiphareth Netzach
Hod Yesod

It doesn't matter which order you do Hod and Netzach in, but let's
follow the standard order of Sephirah and so do Hod first.
In Hod area there is just one building, Hod itself. Enter it and search
the place. In one of the rooms you will find Tiamat. As you enter, she
rises to meet you.
Tiamat:
"So you are the humans of whom Lucifer-sama spoke ?
I know not how much power you have, but you are merely humans.
Hardly a threat, but Lucifer-sama said not to underestimate you.
Oh, how long has it been...
Make me hold nothing back in this battle !"
You fight Jaryuu Tiamat. If you beat her, she says:
Tiamat:
"And you are human...!?
What strength !
I could have never held back on you...!"
You get 「アインの鍵」 (Key of Ain).
Now go back to crossroads in Yetziratic Passage and head for Netzach.
There is not much in the Netzach area, so just enter the city. From the various
conversations with the locals, you learn that Crowley is putting up a Sabbat
during a full moon night. So enter the big throne room in the center during
the Full Moon. You will see a robed man standing in the middle of it.
Crowley:
"Damnations...
It's Full Moon night out there. The night most suitable for
a Sabbat...
And Lucifer prohibited me to hold it...!
Oooooooh ! I just can't hold it in...!
I'll sacrifice you all in a fountain of blood !"
He transforms. You fight Youma Master Therion. If you beat him, he says:
Crowley:
"Aaargh...
I thought... if it's Makai... I could abandon myself in Sabbats..."
You get 'ラメドの鍵' (Key of Lamed).
Now that you have cleared both Hod and Netzach, you can proceed to
Tiphareth. At the end of the respective section of the Yetziratic passage, you
will see the gate of Tiphareth. It is locked. But then you use
「アインの鍵」(Key of Ain) and 「ラメドの鍵」(Key of Lamed) to open it.
Enter the now-familiar Tiphareth area. Head for the Tiphareth itself.
When you enter Tiphareth, go to the Bar. Talk to people there.
Strange girl near the entrance to the Briatic Passage, huh ? Well,
head off towards the place where the entrance is supposed to be. As you
near it, you will meet girl on a horse.
Gomorie:
"Heh.
So you are Aleph ?
Little surprise Lucifer-sama was uncertain about you.
I am Gomorie. A humble servant of Daimaou Lucifer-sama.
By the order of Lucifer-sama, I am to take you to Castle Kether.
Come now."
You are taken across the whole stretch of Makai to the top of
the Castle Kether. There, a familiar red-headed man is standing.
Louis Cypher:
"And so we meet again, Aleph-kun.
Why, meeting you in a place like this...
I am very pleased that you did me the honor of accepting
my invitation...
What ?
Gomorie took you here without your consent ?
Well, I am sure she wasn't rough with you. Anyway, it does not
really matter.
You could not have refused it. Daimaou Lucifer's..."

...transforms...

Lucifer:
"..MY invitation can not be refused.
Now then, Aleph !
Smart little Angels, thinking they act in God's will, have created
Millenium. What they created, actually, ran counter to His intention.
I didn't even have to step into the matter, God's retribution was
inevitable. I merely sat and waited for it.
But whom were the Angels defeated by ? You, Aleph.
Who are you ?
Who are you who have slain even the fake One God, whom the belief
of the Angels forsaken by the true God have created.
Are you Satan, he who comes to judge us all ?
To ascertain that I have brought you here.
...and fortunately, it would seem you are not Satan. But I
saw many signs of his imminent coming. For example, Set is struggling
to awaken from his slumber. And Set is a half of Satan body.
Long time ago, Satan was defeated and rent asunder. And one half,
Set, was sealed away by God. If Set awakens from his sleep, then
the coming of Satan is at hand.
If Satan appears, he will hold the grand judgement and all
the things will be erased from this world. Not only you, humans,
but we, the inhabitants of the Makai whom you call 'demons', will be
wiped out from this world.
I am the king of the Makai. I can not just sit here and do nothing,
awaiting our common destruction. I shall challenge Satan in the last
battle. And I must prevail, at any cost. I may need your power too.
But is there enough power in you for what I need ?
We shall test it.
Aleph !
If you have the will and the power to fight Satan, then we shall
meet again here, at this place, at the summit of my Castle Kether.
I shall wait for you. Come here with your own feet..."
You are taken back to Yesod area.
Gomorie:
"Aleph was not Satan... I am rather relieved.
Like the Lucifer-sama, I too shall wait for you to come
to the Castle Kether.
Try your very, very best, will you..."
She disappears.
Voice:
"...So it was you then..."
Gabriel appears.
Gabriel:
"Aleph. It's been a while...
Zain wants to meet with you. Come with me."
Archangel gestured with his hand...
...and you are instantly whisked away to an iddyllic looking place:
Gabriel:
"This is Eden. It was created to resemble that fabled garden of
ancient days...
Come, Zain is waiting for you over there.... "
You find yourself on overhead map in Eden. To meet Zain, go just to the
North of where you are. If you attempt to approach the central building,
Gabriel will appear and say:
"Now, quickly, go to Zain. He is waiting for you."
So go to the northernmost part of Eden. There, in a little field, Zain is
waiting for you.
Zain:
"Aleph.
You've met with Daimaou Lucifer. You've heard what he had to say.
God ! You didn't accept his invitation, I hope !?
He desperately wants to stop the coming of the world of peace. So
first he is trying to destroy the Millenium. Methods of the former
Senate were certainly too much, but we mustn't forget that it is
thanks to the Millenium that humanity could survive. We mustn't allow
the Millenium to be destroyed. We've had enough victims."

---

(LAW alignment)

"To get true peace in our hands, we must fight together ! Aleph !
But Lucifer plans to completely destroy the Millenium. He is trying
to awaken Set, who sleeps in the Tiphareth of the Makai. I, myself,
can't leave this incomplete Eden yet...
Sorry to bother you, but could you go and check up on Set for me ?
Whatever could the Lucifer's agents be planning..."

Then you leave and find yourself on your own in Eden. You must now get back
to Tiphareth and go to the building where Set lies in slumber.

(NEUTRAL Alignment)

"Aleph, won't you help me ?
Let's defeat Daimou Lucifer, rebuild the Millenium and try to build
an ideal world in which everyone would live in peace. A true
Thousand-Year Kingdom.
Help me, Aleph !"

By answering 'yes' you choose to join the forces of LAW for good, and
your alignment is permanently changed to LAW.
Zain cries:
"You will help me !?
Thank you ! I am grateful, Aleph !
Let's build a new Thousand-Year Kingdom !
But Lucifer plans to completely destroy the Millenium. He is trying
to awaken Set, who sleeps in the Tiphareth of the Makai. I, myself,
can't leave this incomplete Eden yet...
Sorry to bother you, but could you go and check up on Set for me ?
Whatever could the Lucifer's agents be planning..."
Then you leave and find yourself on your own in Eden. You must now get back
to Tiphareth and go to the building where Set lies in slumber.

By answering 'no', you retain your present alignment and leave yourself
the option of ending up on either NEUTRAL or CHAOS path.
Zain says:
".....
Well, so you aren't the kind of people who should be allowed into
Eden. I shall have you leave this place. Like the ancient Adam and
Even, you are forever exiled from the Paradise. Farewell, Aleph !"

You fall... and fall... and fall...
...and land in Millenium just outside the 'Center' tower. Your goal
is now to get back to Tiphareth and go to Briatic Passage entrance again.

(CHAOS alignment)

[not complete yet]

---

The order of the following two events depends on your alignment. If you
are LAW, you must go to Set's temple first and then have encounter
outside Briatic Passage. If you are NEUTRAL or CHAOS, it's the other
way around.

---
Briatic Passage encounter:

You are met by Louis Cypher.
Louis Cypher:
"Aleph !
Today I came to say farewell to you. From now own, we shall
never meet again. Because I will take your life with my own hands !"
He transforms and is revealed to be Astaroth.
Astaroth:
"Ho-ho-ho-ho...!
And so you swagger in...!
Lucifer-sama thought far too highly of you, you brats !
Someone like you could have never been Satan. Never mind
being the Messiah ! You are just a foolish human ! u
I shall grant you a death befitting a foolish child of man !"
You fight Maou Astaroth. If you beat him, he says:
Astaroth:
"So you weren't... a mere child of man... after all...
Satan... Messiah... I don't care...
With that power... return me to my original form... that
of the beautiful... goddess of plentiful harvest...
Ishtar..."
He vanishes. From now on, you are allowed to fuse Maou Astaroth.

(LAW alignment)

You can proceed to Briatic Passage entrance.

(NEUTRAL alignment)

Louis Cypher appears:
"Are you all right, Aleph ?
Astaroth...! How dared he to assume my shape.
And I told him you weren't someone on whom his little make-believe
tricks would work.
But you are strong. Strong enough to defeat Astaroth.
I want this power of yours even more now.
Walk by my side, striving for the chaos that shall bring about
the new rebirth."

If you answer 'yes', you choose to join with the forces of CHAOS for good
and your alignment is permanently changed to CHAOS.
Louis Cypher:
"Then I shall wait for you at Castle Kether.
Come there soon."
He leaves. You must now go to the Set's temple.

If you answer 'no', you choose to walk the path of BALANCE and your alignment
is permanently changed to NEUTRAL.
Louis Cypher:
"Heh...
So we weren't destined to walk the same path then...?
It's a shame.
I didn't want to have you as my enemy...
But next time we meet shall be the last you see the light of day..."
He leaves. You must now go to the Set's temple.

(CHAOS alignment)

---
Set's Temple encounter:

(LAW alignment)

You are met by Gomorie.
Gomorie:
"Are you trying to stop the sealing of Set !?"
Set awakens. He awakens, flies up and disappears into the sky.
Gomorie:
"Set was set free. With this, Satan is revived."

(NEUTRAL alignment)
As you approach the stairs, you see Set coming awake and flying away.
Afterwards, you leave and must now proceed to Briatic Passage entrance
proper.

(CHAOS alignment)

As you approach the stairs, you see Set coming awake and flying away.
Louis Cypher appears:
"..."

---
Either way, you shall end up coming to Briatic Passage entrance - or rather
the place where entrance has been. Now, the space there is warped and you
see something BREATHING there. You are asked, if you want to be inhaled.
Answer yes, and you shall be inhaled into a rather strange place.
After navigating through several levels of dungeon, you shall encounter
Madam there.
Madam:
"Who's it ?
Is someone there...? Alfred ?
...You..you are Hawk.. Aleph, that is...
You were swallowed by Abaddon too ?
I may be Madam-sama, the ruler of Valhalla area, but even for
me this is the end, wouldn't you say ?
The 'Center' entrusted me with with Valhalla and I made it into
a free area, where many people have gathered. It flourished...
And the 'Center' stayed silent and watched.... so that they could
use us to choose citizens for Thousand Year Kingdom.
After all they... The Senate... were the ones who hired me in
the first place. But now I am no longer useful to them - and this
is how I end up.
I would have gladly gave my life, if that alone could save the
citizens of the Valhalla..."
She is gone. Another door, on the same level, will lead you to
the Slum Town in the Valhalla area. Go there and go to the room, where
Mekata was meant to be waiting for you all that time ago...
Mekata:
"Ooh.. Is that Aleph ?
So you've found me even in the stomach of Abaddon...
To think that the 'Center'... no, the Senate would make
Abaddon swallow up the Valhalla area... The Senate did not
want for us to meet, you see. But although they knew that
I was hiding somewhere in Valhalla, they could not find me.
And the there was the fact that the Valhalla was not of any
real use to the 'Center' anymore. So they had Maou Abaddon
swallow up Valhalla. That way they could stop me and destroy
a useless area at the same time.
By the way, both of you being here means that you rescued Hiroko
from the concentration camp. Then I will tell you the truth as
I promised.
Aleph... that is - you - are a human who was created by the 'Center'
to become the Messiah. After the Great Destruction decades ago,
the world was ruined and desolate. Messiah Church, in order
to save the people living in it, tried to build their own Thousand
Year Kingdom.
The result of that was 'Tokyo Millenium'.
And then they waited for the appearance of the Messiah. But
the Messiah... never appeared. So the Senators of the 'Center'
decided to create with their own hands the Messiah they desired.
That, Aleph, was you.
At the time, four other people were genetically engineered to be your
satellites. Beth to be your Partner. Gimmel to be the Messiah of
the Virtual World, to test out the Thousand Year Kingdom. Dareth,
to be the Anti-Messiah - defeated in order to raise the charisma
of the Messiah. And Zain to keep his eyes on you...
But you were different from them...
First, a fertilized human ovum was improved and strengthened in
the bio lab and then it placed into the body of a superior young
woman. Then you were born. Immediately on birth you were separated
from the body of that woman. Then, in just a day, you were grown
the equivalent of ten years."
You are asked, if you want to hear his story again. If you say no,
Hiroko speaks.
Hiroko:
"It... it cannot be...
That means... that means..."
Mekata:
"Yes.
Hiroko, your child was Aleph."
Hiroko:
"........................."
Mekata:
"I too, was once just following the orders of the 'Center' without
a doubt in mind.... but I could not find it in myself to go through
with this Messiah project.
Creating their own personal Messiah... Using my own daughter
in the project... Everything...
So I got Hanada to help me, erased your memory, set up an explosion
to create a disturbance in the 'Center' and escaped.
Hiroko...
I wanted to take you with me. But there was no time to erase
the planted memories of being a Temple Knight. But you, by yourself,
set out in search for Aleph. This was something I haven't expected.
Ah, well...
All things sucked in by Maou Abaddon vanish after a while.
Seems to be end of the road for me too.
But you - you should quickly escape.
I give you 「ＭＡＧプレッサー」(MAG Pressor). With its help,</pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
it should be possible to materialise Abaddon's body. Slay him and
escape."
You get 「ＭＡＧプレッサー」(Mag Pressor).
Mekata:
"Farewell my supreme creation, Prototype One....
Farewell, my beloved daughter..."
He disappears.
Hiroko:
"Wait !!
More ! Tell us more !
You being my father ! Aleph being my child !
What the hell is this !? Tell us more !! Don't you dare to just
vanish !!! Coward !!!"
He is gone.
Well, go back into Abaddon's body. Find your way to the heart. When you
enter you will hear a disembodied voice:

"Thank you for taking such a trouble to come here. Unfortunately
my body is here... and isn't here - at the same time. That is -
thanks to a dimension warp, it is immaterial. Substanceless.
This means you can't really 'slay' me.
Might as well give up and slowly get absorbed by me...
Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha..."

Aleph uses 「ＭＡＧプレッサー」(Mag Pressor).

"Eh...? What...? What did you do...!?
My... my body...!!"

Maou Abaddon's body appears.

"You may have managed to materialise my body...
But you shall soon regret you have ever done it !"

You fight Maou Abaddon.

"You are the ones... who've slain... Michael...
Michael... promised... to restore me to angel... once more...
So I did... as he said... and swallowed... Valhalla..."

He dies. You get thrown back to the Tiphareth area. Now you can enter
the Briatic Passage properly...
First go to Chesed. It has the form of a grand Temple, where all the
lost souls gather, waiting for Mahavairocana-tathagata to grant them
salvation.
There are many ghosts from the past here, both close and distant.
One of these lost spirits you definitely want to meet. In one
of the rooms, you can find the soul of Beth...
"Aleph, why are you here ?
It... it can not be....
Aah. Good. You have not died yet...
But because I died, I can not be of any use any more...
There is but one last thing that I can do for you.
To invest you with the last of my strength...
We shall never meet again in this world. But I am glad
that I saw you one last time and I am glad I could be of
use to you once more...
Farewell... Aleph..."
All Aleph's abilities go up by 1.
When you finished exploring the Temple of Chesed go to the throne room.
There, you shall meet Vairocana himself.
Vairocana:
"I am Dainichi-Nyorai. I grant help to all those who pray to me,
whether they are good or bad, just or unjust."

(LAW & NEUTRAL Alignment)

"You are the agents of the One God, who would save only
the chosen few and persecute those who don't conform.
Receive my Divine Light !"

You fight Majin Vairocana. If you defeat him, he dies.

(CHAOS Alignment)

"You have left countless deaths behind your back, but none the
less you do look like people, who are able to receive my help...
Recognize the evil deeds you have commited and never forget them."

If you visit him again:

"Aleph, wasn't it ?
Don't forget the karma, brought about by the deaths you left behind
your back..."

Well you are finished with Chesed now, so go back to Briatic Passage. Next
is Geburah. As you enter it, you will be told about 12 Shinshou (神将), who
occupied it. Well, head for the fortress of Geburah itself and enter it.
Shortly into it, you will come upon a ceremonial room with a figure towering
in the middle of it:
Vikarala:

(LAW & NEUTRAL Alignment)

"Meet Shinshou Vikarala, counted to be one of Twelve Shinshou.
On my name, you shall not pass here !"
You fight Shinshou Vikarala. If you beat him, he says:
Vikarala:
".....Is....Shinshou....Vikarala...defeated...here ?"
He dies. You pass beyond his room.

(CHAOS Alignment)
"Aleph !
This Shinshou Vikarala would test your power !"
You fight Shinshou Vikarala. If you beat him, he says:
"The victory is yours !
Truly, your strength is as great as it was rumoured to be...
Come, you can pass here..."
You can pass beyond his room.

Shortly afterwards, you will come upon the room with Shinshou Catura.
The conversation is exactly the same as with Vikarala.
Take the staircase to B1. There you must meet and defeat Shinshou Sindura,
Makura, Pajira, Indara, Sandira and Majira.
Then you descend to B2. There you fight Shinshou Andira, Mihira, Vajra
and Kumbhira.
Then, finally, you find Atavaka.
Atavaka:

(LAW & NEUTRAL Alignment)

"My servants, the Twelve Shinshou...
Have you slain them all ?
But by the orders of Lucifer-sama, you will not pass here."

You fight Majin Atavaka. If you defeat him, he says:
Atavaka:
"To think that this Daigensui-Myouou Atavaka would lose to a mere
human and his pet demons...
.....Long live...Lucifer-sama..!!"
He dies.

(CHAOS Alignment)

"You are Aleph...?
I must test your power..."
You fight him. If you defeat him, he says:
"I was told by Lucifer-sama - do not let him pass, unless
he can defeat you.
You have defeated me. You can pass.
Go now... To Lucifer-sama !"
You can pass now.
Through the door just beyond his throne room you will enter the
Atziluthic Passage. It leads to Binah and to Chokmah. First go to Binah area.
If you go immediately North, you can find a special location on the shore
of the sea of Binah. There you will see Hourie taking a bath. You are asked,
if you want to get her beautiful dress - 「羽衣」'Hagoromo'. The Hagoromo
has a special ability to mask its wearer's alignment.
Whether you need that ability at the moment or not, it is advisable
to take Hagoromo with you. Since when you bring it back Hourie, you are
rewarded for your honesty by having each of your abilities raised by 1.
Find the central building and explore it. There is no obligatory
things to do here - but if you do not mind doing some creative fusion,
you can do a bonus subquest - the ressurection of the rightful ruler of
Binah, Chiboshin Ishtar. Check the Locations section for details.
One you are finished with Binah area, go back to Atziluthic passage and
head for the Chokmah area. Once you arrive there, head for the Tower of
Chokmah itself - there is no one else around on the overhead map.
The tower is 4 floors high. The the throne room of Mara is on the
4th floor. Beware of many pit traps on that floor. The correct path from
the stairs to Mara's throne room is:
L, F, L, F, R, 2xF, R, 2xF, R, F, L, F, R, 2xF, L, F, R,
2xF, R, 2xF, L, 2xF, R, F, R, 2xF, L, 2xF, R, 2xF
When you enter the throne room, the Tempter King Mara, the demon-lord of
Sixth Heaven, will greet you:
(LAW & NEUTRAL Alignment)
"Welcome to my Tower of Chokmah.
Aleph. You certainly have the sheer strength.
But are you a man who could be allowed to tread with your feet
the Tower of Chokmah, the origin of all wisdom ?
If you truly are a man possessing of wisdom in abundance, you
should listen to me well.
First, as a prize for coming thus far, I shall give you &999999..."
You are asked if you will accept &999999 from Mara.
If you answer yes, Mara laughs:
"Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...!
You so perfectly fell prey to my temptation !
Vanish from this world, fools !"
Then you fight him.
If you answer no, he continues:
"I see. So you are not interested in money...
Then I shall raise you level up by 10."
You are asked if you agree to it.
If you answer yes, Mara laughs:
"Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...!
You so perfectly fell prey to my temptation !
Vanish from this world, fools !"
Then you fight him.
If you answer no, he continues:
"I see. So someone as strong as you isn't even interested in raising
his level anymore...
Then I shall offer you the whole of the world.
Both Satan and Lucifer shall kneel before you..."
If you answer yes, Mara laughs:
"Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...!
You so perfectly fell prey to my temptation !
Vanish from this world, fools !"
Then you fight him.
If you answer no, he continues:
"You've done well, to resist my temptation !
Then I shall fight you !"
You fight Maou Mara. If you defeat him, he says:
"..........."
and perishes.

(CHAOS Alignment)
Mara:
"Human child Aleph !
Should you be really passing through here ?
I will test you.
Aleph ! Is your Wisdom above 15 ?" (#1)
If you answer no to (#1), he tells you:
"Then you should raise your Wisdom and come back here..."
If you answer yes to (#1), he tells you:
(If your Wisdom is below 15)
"Liars ! Cowards !
If you wish to pass through here, with this kind of Wisdom,
you will have to fight me !"
You fight him. If you defeat him he says:
"Then I will let you pass.
Beyond this wall is Castle Kether. Castle Kether, ruled by
Dai-Maou Lucifer-sama..."
(If your wisdom is 15 or above)
"It seems that your Wisdom is above 15.
Then I will let you pass.
Beyond this wall is Castle Kether. Castle Kether, ruled by
Dai-Maou Lucifer-sama..."

You are asked, if you want to go to Castle Kether.
Well, if you are ready, then answer yes. You shall be teleported into
the Kether area of Makai.
North of you, tower the gates of the Castle Kether.
The end is nigh...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENDGAME - NEUTRAL ROUTE
"And Justice for All..."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you stand at last before the gates of the Castle, the gates itself
speak out to you.
Spirit of the Right Gate:
"This place is Castle Kether"
Spirit of the Left Gate:
"This is the place of Lucipher-sama."
Spirit of the Right Gate:
"Lucifer-sama gave orders not to let anyone pass."
Spirit of the Left Gate:
"Lucifer-sama gave orders not to let anyone pass, except for
the people of Chaos."
Spirit of the Right Gate:
"Would Lucifer-sama have allowed this gentleman in ?"
Spirit of the Left Gate:
"Lucifer would not permit him to enter."
Spirits of Both Gates:
"By the orders of Lucifer-sama, you shall not pass through this gate."

Suddenly Masakado's Katana (将門の刀) starts to glow.

Spirit of the Right Gate:
"O... Oh...! This... this light !"
Spirit of the Left Gate:
"It's blinding...!"
The Spirits of the Gate dissipate and vanish.
Once the light dies out, Masakado's Katana crumbles, becoming a heap of
scrap metal. You gain Hihiirokane (ヒヒイロカネ). You can give it to the
Dwarven Smith in Akasaka, who will forge ? for you. See Locations section
for more detail.

(Re-Miel's Note: Hihiirokane is a mysterious metal from the apocryphal
Japanese legends. It is chief mention is in Takenouchi section of Koshi-Koden.
It is said to be soft as gold in its pure form, but made into an alloy
it becomes hard as platinum. Various legendary swords were made from it
and the roof of the Imperial Palace in the age of legends was said to be
made from it. It never rusts, is unusually cool to the touch and
under certain circumstances emits radiant light.
There are surprising similarities between it and Orihalcon from the legends
of Atlantis...)

Enter the Castle Kether. This is a rather long dungeon, so be prepared,
have powerful demons fused and don't forget to go back to save from time
to time.
When you ascend to the 9F of Castle Kether, you are met by Lucifuge
Lucifuge:
"Greetings !
We have not met yet.
I am the Lucifuge, trusted and devoted servant of Lucifer-sama.
I serve Lucifer-sama in many duties. Making '&'(makka) is one
of them.
Plesed to be meeting you.
Oo ! What a strength ! I must report this to Lucifer-sama
immediately !"
With this he vanishes and you can proceed. Pass through the door to
ascend to the roof of the Castle Kether.
Lucifer:
"So you've come...
But what a weak creature a human being is.
All this way, and you still couldn't decide whether to join
with me or with Satan.
Now here you stand, ready to challenge Dai-Maou (大魔王) Lucifer
in combat. Neither a servant of Daitenshi(大天使) Michael nor
an agent of Shinryou(神霊) Satan, but a simple human being...
What a fearsome strength.
But you have no more than abandoned yourself to combat, losing
your self... the reality... the terror...
I, Dai-Maou Lucifer shall teach you the true meaning of terror !"
You fight Dai-Maou Lucifer. If you defeat him, he says:
"So you've grown as strong... as to defeat me..
But it would do you well to remember... Humans aren't as strong
creatures... as to be able to survive entirely on their own.
...
I have had Moloch to suck in the magnetite from the physical
world and fed all that energy into Kuzuryuu (九頭龍), the nine-headed
dragon who makes up the mountains of Makai. It was the One God who
ordered me to have Kuzuryuu carry out the true Great Destruction.
And I have made a... pretense of obedience... For true Great
Destruction would have been a great catastrophe for the Makai as
well as the physical world. I have thought to use the power of
Kuzuryuu not for the Great Destruction but for the better of
the Makai...
One God, knowing of my rebellious intentions, have had Gabriel to
prepare another tool for carrying out the Great Destruction... That
secret lies now in Eden.
Kuzuryuu will soon awaken... Millenium would probably be
destroyed...
Aleph... If you were as strong as to defeat me, then you must cast
both Kuzuryuu and Eden down into the same oblivion.
That is your destiny.
But don't forget...
If humans are to prosper, then one day the Great Destruction will
come again... will be repeated again..."
With these words he dies.
You find yourself outside the Castle Kether. Dareth appears before you.
Dareth:
"Aleph... You have defeated Lucifer, but it is no time to rest yet.
Lucifer had caused Kuzuryuu to awaken.
If Kuzuryuu is not defeated, then the whole of Makai - not to mention
the Earth and the Underworld - will be destroyed. I have came here
to speak for all of the Underworld.
We beg you ! Defeat Kuzuryuu !
Hurry to the south of the Underworld.
You are our only hope !"
So go to the Underworld. As soon as you emerge on the overhead map there
you are met by Steven:
"Finally, Kuzuryuu awakened.
That's how the Dai-Maou Lucifer is. Even after his death everything
proceeds according to his plan...
...except that it doesn't.
If you don't want to die, you must defeat Kuzuryuu.
Go then !"
You are transported towards the mountains, where you see Kusuryuu awaken.
Then you battle Jaryuu Kuzuryuu. If you defeat him, you see Steven again.
Steven:
"Well done, Aleph !
I made a right choice when I've given the Demon Summonning Program
to you !
But this is not the end yet. It wasn't Lucifer alone who was trying
to destroy this world.
You must go to Eden.
And hurry - or soon there will be no returning..."
You are returned to the overhead map.
You must go to Eden now, which is located at the top of the 'Center' tower.
So make your way to the 'Center'. Use the Terminal to teleport to the Holy
Town and make the rest of the way on foot. Once in 'Center' talk to the
man in the bar to find out about the new level and the passcode needed
to get there. You are told first three digits, the full passcode is '3470'.
You can use it to unlock the last passcoded door on 22F and get to the
gates of Eden. There you are accosted by a pair of Cherubim.
Cherubim only allow those of the LAWFUL alignment in. So, as you are
NEUTRAL, you need something to mask your alignment. If you recall, Hourie's
Hagoromo is supposed to do that. If you didn't take it back then, now
is the time to go to Binah and fetch it. When you approach the gates cloaked
in Hagoromo, the Cherubim shall speak:
"The gates of EDEN open only for the chosen ones.
We can tell who is chosen and who is not...
You...
...are most definitely a chosen one.
Come, enter the Paradise..."
In the EDEN you can talk to a lot of people on the overhead map and
then you have two choices of places to go - the tower to the north and
the grove to the south.
If you try to enter the tower, Gabriel will bar your way:
Gabriel:
"This is not a place for you to enter.
Zain is down south.
You should go and meet him."
So south it is. Go to the grove. There, in a ritual circle, stands Zain.
Zain:
"Aleph !
I have learnt at last what I am.
I have learnt what I was born into this world for. I have learnt
what should I do and where must I go.
I will now regain my true form.
Watch...
My lo.. this lost half of mine is here at last..."
He raises his hands. Set flies in from above and fuses with him.
...:
"I am SATAN !
The one sent to this world to be the Judge of both the men and the
demons.
...
DEFILER !
There is no place for you in Paradise !
Fall to the bottom of the hell !"
You fall all the way down to the Underworld. There you see Steven again.
Steven:
"So the newly-appeared Satan was quick to rough you up, huh...
But you have no time to waste.
Watch. He started to move immediately."
You see the top part of the 'Center' tower to detach from the rest
of the Millenium and launch into the skies.
Steven:
"Satan had an Ark build in 'Center'.
EDEN is inside it too.
Bearing the chosen ones to create a new world, the Ark was launched
into the skies.
And inside it also bears... Megido Arc.
Megido Arc is a super-powerful laser. If it is fired...
All life will be wiped out from Earth.
And Satan will do just that, without any hesitation. It is an order
from One God. And there's no one to stop him.
Earth, Millenium, Underworld, Makai... One God has abandoned them all.
Aleph. I shall give you one last chance to stop the destruction. Come
to any Terminal."
He disappears.
Before taking next step, make sure you've done everything you want in
the Millenium/Underworld/Makai. They will become inaccessible from now
on. For example, painful as it is, you might want to make your way on feet
to Binah to return the hagoromo to Hourie. For that, you will be rewarded
with all your attributes increased by one.
Next go to any terminal. Steven will meet you there:
"Thank you for coming.
This is the Virtual Space inside the networks.
In other words - my hideout.
I shall send you from here to the Terminal inside the Ark."
He does just that.
Steven's voice:
"Well, go now..."
You find yourself on 52F of the EDEN. Now you have to make you way up.
Before the staircase to 53F, you come upon room where amidst great light
many voices speak in unison.
Sebaoth:
"The Ark is only to be boarded by people, who are suitable for living
in the new world.
Why have you come here ?
So that the new world wouldn't be full of violence and malice, so
that it wouldn't have to be destroyed again, only those who excel
in honoring the Lord and obeying his will - only they were to be chosen.
You, who murder and destroy without an end !
You, who through the practice of heretical arts fuse demons as it
pleases you !
Sinful creatures ! There is no place for such as you on the Ark !"
You fight Shinryou Sebaoth. If you defeat him, he dies and you are free
to proceed to 53F. At the end of the level, you came upon a room where in
a brilliant radiance, a great eye stares down into you very soul.
Shaddai:
"So you came...
The demon child, born of the foolish intention to handcraft a Messiah,
in denial of the order of things established by God...
To be so conceited, as to think that you can twist the destiny set
down by the Lord Himself !
I, Shaddai, the High King of Destiny, am not forgiving you !"
You fight Shinryou Shaddai. If you defeat him, he dies and you are free
to proceed to 54F. It's one of those floors with many teleporters. The
correct path, from the staircase, is:
R, F, L, F; R, F; L, F, R, F, R, F, L, 2xF; R, 3xF; R, F;
L, 2xF, L, F, R, F, L, F, L, F
Then you enter a room, where you are engulfed in a swirling maelstorm
of potentials, currents, forms, archetypes. A *presence* speaks down to you.
Elohim:
"You, who were born against the will of the Lord !
You, who summon demons at will and have them do battle for you !
Truly you are a demon child !
Demon child ! Shall you listen to the devil's voice, summon your
flock of demons, take up your demon sword and raise it against me !?
Be undone !"
You fight Shinryou Elohim. If you defeat him, he dies and you can proceed
to 55F.
It's a small level, and you will soon come upon a door from the other
side of which someone would call out to you:
Voice:
"Aleph. You may enter."
Take a step in. You will find yourself in the pilot room of the Ark,
with a familiar figure standing before you.
Satan:
"Aleph.
We were both, you and I, manufactured as a part of 'Center's project.
Why do you think I, who was Zain, suceeded beyond Beth...
Beyond Gimmel...
Beyond Dareth...
Beyond even you ?"
He changes his form back to that of Zain.
Zain:
"The Lord has abandoned Tokyo Millenium.
He, in his infinite grace, knew that as long as humanity, as it is
now, persists - there is no hope for making an ideal world into
reality.
That's why even though the Messiah Church and the Angels have
tried to build an ideal world... the Thousand-Year Kingdom...
the Lord has not sent amongst them the Messiah.
The Senate of 'Center' has then attempted to manufacture their
own Messiah. That was the 'Messiah Project'...
And amongst the five products of the project, my - that is Zain's -
abilities were to have been the most superior. Why ? Because I was
the one who would be the Lord's faithful servant.
Not the Messiah, but an incarnation of Satan... the Judge...
Through me, Tokyo Millenium... Archangels... Humans... Demons...
all are to be judged.
And also to be judged is the one who has risen against the Lord
most defiantly.
Aleph.
It didn't want to have to judge you. I wished for you to become
a part of the new world... But it's too late for that now.
Farewell, Aleph."
He changes back into Satan.
Satan:
"Well then, Aleph !
Accept the judgement of the Lord and fall into the
fiery depths of Hell !"
He transforms...
...and you fight Shinryou Satan. If you defeat him he speaks:
"Even the Lord's judgement... you managed to repel...
What... are you doing...
Where... are... you going..."
Then you hear a thundering voice.
"Thou hast slain Satan !? Who art thee !?
Come and show thyself before Me !"
You are then asked if you want to go to the owner of this voice.
If you say no, you exit the room.
If you say yes, you get transported on to a silvery path in a sea
of nothingness. Keep moving forward. After few steps you will hear
the voice again:
"Thou hast slain Satan !? Who art thee !?
Come and show thyself before Me !"
After some more steps, it will speak out again:
"To have slain Satan, a servant of mine..."
After some more steps:
"To have slain Sebaoth, Shaddai and Elohim, the sacred spirits
who are each a part of Me..."
After some more steps:
"Cursed beings, who carelessly play with countless lives..."
And after some more steps, you finally stand in the Presence.
YHVH:
"Praised be mine name !
Praised be mine glorious and unequalled name !
Aleph ! Hiroko !
Ye show yourselves before me at last, ye cursed children !
Aleph ! Thou art a wicked being, created in denial of mine laws !
Hiroko ! Thou had offered thy body to manufacture this wickedness !
Both of thee hast broken mine laws. Not only that, but ye commited
crimes beyond count to stand here before me. Crimes, which ye couldn't
atone for through a ten thousand deaths !
I shall condemn ye to Hell, and after ye have suffered its endless
torments, ye shall be reborn... over and over again... only to suffer
calamity after calamity, until the ends of reincarnation...
That is your punishment !
So stricken be by mine lightning and fall to Hell !
Burn forever in the hellfire !
Demons ! And the human who stroke a bargain with them !"
You fight Shinryou YHVH. If you defeat him, he speaks:
"Cursed creatures !
Finally, ye commit the greatest of all sins.
Destroying your Creator !
Now that ye have destroyed me, who is the Father of all there is,
there is nothing left for you to rely on... to lean on...
Ye have even disposed of Lucipher, the lord of Makai...
Ye stand in an empty world, completely alone. What shall ye do now ?
Remember these words well: humans are not strong enough creatures
to live without relying or without leaning on someone. And so, just
as the humans shall cry out to me for deliverance, the fabric of
this vast universe shall spin me out again and again..."
Everything fades. You find yourself in Holy Town again. None of the shops
really work, the only thing you can do is to head outside. There, Hiroko
will speak to you:
"We no longer have anything to lean or rely on, huh...
But you have me... And I have you...
Let's go then. To the world we shall build with our own hands."
You see the sun rising over the remains of the TOKYO MILLENIUM.
Congratulations ! You've completed Shin Megami Tensei II.
You now see all the major scenes in the game unfolding backwards - from
the launching of the Ark all the way back, to the 'Messiah' project and
your own creation...
Finally, you see a strange feminine-shaped spirit launch itself into
darkness...
...and as it flies, in this emptiness, you see titles roll...
...then it arrives. Somewhere.
Some temple.
Almost as if it was... a goddess ?

SECTION 3 - LOCATIONS

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VALHALLA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----->1. Valhalla Shopping District.
A huge shopping centre, where the citizens of Valhalla come to spend their
money. It has Weapons, Armors, Junks, Appraise, Fortunes, Virtuals.
Please note that in the beginning of the game none of the shops will
sell you anything - because Okamoto, your Gym master, is well-known to be
penniless and owes EVERYONE money.
This changes after the conclusion of tournament.

------->.<-------

1). Man.
"The scientist who worked at Madam's place seems to have
managed to get something real dodgy going..."

2). Man.
"All sorts of people gather in the Bar. If you are after
some information, better spend some time in the Bar."

3). Man.
"There are many different areas in Tokyo Millenium...
And ruling all of them is the 'Center'."

4). Man.
"Damn !
Lost all my money... again..."

5). Man.
"The money used in the Millenium is Makka. There is no kind
of currency changing hands, other than '&'."

6). Man.
"I'd love to meet Madam, at least once. If a ruler is beautiful,
it is a pleasure to be ruled by her.
I went to her mansion, in the north-eastern Valhalla, but the
guards chased me off..."

7). Woman.
"Hawk ! It's final fight at last, isn't it ?
Well, you better try hard, 'cause if you do you'll
become the citizen of the 'Centre'..."

8). Woman.
"When buying stuff in the shops, choose what your are
buying with 'Up' and 'Down' arrows. You can increase or
decrease the quantity with 'Left' and 'Right' arrows.
This makes all the shopping real easy.
Common sense, no ?"

11). Casino.
If you try to go into Casino, Okamoto appears.
Okamoto:
"Hawk ! If you have free time to play around in a place
like this, then get back to Gym !"
You go back.

12). Messiah follower.
"Soon, the God will send the Messiah amongst us.
Those who believe in God will all be saved..."

13). Green-haired man in a suit and cyberglasses:
"There was someone looking for you.
Who was it...?"
Everything blurs before your eyes. Next moment, you find yourself in
a strange lab of some sorts. A middle-aged man, with a cane, is standing
in front of a huge glass tank, in which a human-like figure is suspended.
It seems to be male...
Man:
"...of all of you, he is the one in whom the sheer power runs
strongest...
I would like you to name him.
Fine ?"
You can choose whether to name him or not. If you answer 'Yes',
you will get to give the person in the vat a name of your own choosing.
If you answer 'No', the man will ask you to confirm it:
Man:
"I hoped you would name him for me. Will you not ?"
If you answer 'Yes' (you would not), he will say:
"I see. Then I will tell you the name which was given to him.
His name is 'Zain'...'
Everything blurs again. When you come to, you are back in the Shopping
District, in front of the green-haired man in cyberglasses.
Man:
"Oi, what's with you ?
Listen, when someone is trying to tell you something !
The person who was searching for you... He called himself 'Zain'."
After that you leave.
If you come back in again, the man says:
"That's an Arm Terminal you have there, isn't it ?
You must have got it by winning fights in Colloseum...
It's a cool thing to have, because if you have it you can use
Terminal...
Terminal...?
It's to the east of this Shopping District, isn't it..."

14). Woman's voice.
First time when you pass by the fortune-telling shop, a voice will
call out from the inside:
"Hey, hey, you, youngster over there. This way. To your right.
Stand before me and listen to my voice.
Then the way will open for you."
Turn to your right and face the door.
"Go on, come inside..."
Go inside.
Fortune-teller:
"I will drive away your doubts and your worries and
guide to the right path...
Is this the first time you are here ?
Then this time I will read your fortune for free...
Ummmmm....Ummmm.....
One woman's name is buried deep, deep inside your mind.
Do you remember that name ?"
If you answer yes, you are asked to enter that name.
If you answer no, she says:
"You do not remember it ? Then I will tell that woman's
name to you...
The name is... Hiroko.
Do not forget that name - Hiroko."
Then you are shown out of her shop.
If you come back in, it will be a regular fortune-telling.

------->.<-------

New conversations after defeating Red Bear:

1). Woman:
"Hawk ! Well done ! I always, always knew that weren't just an
ordinary person..."

2). Man:
"Congratulations ! Congratulations ! Now that you became a Champion,
were you invited to Madam's Mansion ?"

3). Haneda (in the Gym):
"Awwww ! This isn't fair !
Red Bear lost to someone like you. And I am really down and out as
result..."

------->.<-------

New conversations after Hanada incident:

1). Messsiah Follower:
"Even though demons have appeared, there is nothing to fear. Demons
can't touch one who believes in God..."

2). Man:
"It seems that thanks to that scientist who escaped from Madam's
place, demons gained entrance to this Valhalla area."
------->.<-------

New conversations post Fake Messiah appearance:

1). Woman:
"Hawk ! Are you going to fight again !?"

2). Man:
"Even though demons have appeared in Valhalla, Madam is going to do
something about it. As long as we have Madam, we don't need any
Messiah !"
------->.<-------

Disco Encounters:

1). Woman:
"Aha-ha-ha-ha ! It's fun ! Getting out of Slum Town was a
really good move !
Coming from the North-West of Valhalla... It was very hard.
Next time, I want to go to Colosseum !"

2). Woman:
"What are you looking at ?
If you fancy me, too bad.
Since I came here, I must dance !"

"Dareth should have went to Colosseum by now.."

---Valhalla Virtual Battler---

1. Course 1 - &20 entrance fee.
You can explore the course. First time you enter it, though, you do not
go to the normal course - instead you meet Steven in a pre-scripted
encounter: just as you will turn the first corner, you will see a figure in
a wheelchair disappearing in the distance.
Follow the figure, wherever it is heading.
After couple of turns you will catch up with it in the dead end. It
turns out to be a man in a red suit, seating in a wheelchair.
Wheelchair-bound man:
"Yaa ! I am not a demon ! I have had myself entered into the matrix
of the Virtual Battler so that I could meet you.
My name is... Let's call me Steven...
The thing is - there is something I want to give to you.
It is my own creation... a Demon Summoning Program.
Very shortly, thanks to a certain incident, this 'Tokyo Millenium'
will be overrun by demons. Tokyo Millenium has been supressing the
appearance of demons for a long time now, but now they wouldn't be
able to do it any longer.
There is no stopping the demons from entering this world now.
If humanity doesn't start to use the power of demons, it will
perish.
I will pass to the one, who has power to use demons this program.
I have created it for a day like this.
What kind of person are you, I do not know. Nor would I try to
to learn. I am merely giving this program to someone who posesses
the power."
You are asked, whether you understood his speech.
Answer yes.
"Good. You seem to be quite bright.
I will transfer the program to your Arm Terminal.
And handle it with care."
You receive Demon Summoning Program.
"I have high hopes for you.
Perhaps will meet in the Virtual Battler again.
It's a pleasure to be working with you. Be seeing you later."
You are then sent back to the real world.
If you enter the course again, one more special thing will happen -
shortly after entering you will hear someone's voice:
Voice:
"If...receive...this message...come...to me..."
Everything fades. You find yourself in a laboratory of some sorts.
A middle-aged man with a cane is standing in front of a glass vat, in which
a human-like figure is suspended.
Man:
"His wisdom is above all others...
Give him a name."
You can choose to do so or refuse. If you say no, he says:
"You will not give him a name ?"
If you answer yes, he says:
"So be it... Then I will tell you a name, that was given to him...
His name is Megiru."
You are transported back into Virtual Battler.
Voice:
"...Megiru.....
...This is Megiru...
...I am...now...in Arcadia..."
Now you can explore the course. Any time you enter it again, nothing
more special will happen. The boss in the end is Gedou Slime. If you beat
him, Virtual Girl appears.
Virtual Girl:
"You did it ! Isn't it wonderful ? You defeated Slime...
Do you want to still continue ?"

Now there is nothing for you to fear! ...In the Virtual
Space, that is..."

1). Haneda's Office.
Haneda:
"Welcome to my gym !
Well, what do you know... Okamoto's moneyless gym's only fighter,
isn't it ? You probably can't even get any decent training in
that dump of a gym, can you ?
Say, what about it ? Why don't you join my gym instead ?
I have a likingu for fighters like you.
If you want to use my Virtual Battler, I don't mind. You'll have
to pay, though, just like everyone else. If you want to do some
training, talk to people in the Gym.
Heh. No matter how much you train, though, you are never going
to much my fighter - Red Bear. O-ho-ho-ho-ho...!"

2). Training Hall.

------->.<-------

(After the conlusion of the Tournament event, the encounters change to:)

1). Okamoto (in the office):
"My Gym got bigger and I said good-bye to being poor.
What else could I want ?
But even though you became a Champion, Hawk, do not lose
your hungry spirit.
Now you will have provide your own money for the Virtual Battler..."

of the masses. To the left of the entrance, there is a small museum.
------->.<-------
1). Museum
Museum Guide:
"Through there is the Hall of Fame. In it you can see the
statues of the past Champions, who suceeded in winning
the Tournament and went on to become the citizens of 'Center'."
Then you go through a number of rooms each containing the statue.

1st Statue:
"Outomo Akira
Though of a slender build himself, he defeated a succession
of formidable opponents. He was famous for his ability to make use
of the powers of his opponents."

2nd Statue:
"King Muscle
He was known for being altogether too proud of his physical
beauty as well as for his incredible luck."

3rd Statue:
"Gou Mifune

Fighter with a very strong punch, the amount of MAG in his
body was said to be three times that of normal human.."

5th Statue:
"Feather Adonis

remembered by the fans."

6th Statue: (Gee, this looks familiar. - Re-Miel)
"The Hero
The founder and first Champion. He was said be able to summon
demons freely."

2). The Official.
(When you come to take part in Tournament)
Colloseum's official:
"Hey. Looks like Hawk, fighter from Okamoto's gym is here.
Do not lose too quickly or the spectors will go wild and
start rioting..
The final battle will be a Dungeon Match. You start each from
your own entrance and proceed through the dungeon towards
the arena in its center.
Various items have been placed throughout the dungeon. If you
pick up a few of them, they will come in handy in a fight.
Furthermore, demons have been released into the dungeon, so
be careful. When both fighters have entered the arena,
the fight will start properly.
Of course, if you slay your opponent before than, you'll still win.
Did you understand the rules ?"
If you say no, he just repeats it all again.
If you say yes, he says:
"Well then, Hawk. Go on up."
Okamoto appears.
Okamoto:
"You've made it this far - there is not much left I can say...
Believe in your own power ! You are strong ! You will win !
You will come back alive !
Go on then !"
You go up to the arena.

(After defeating Red-Bear).

"Yaa, Champion. That was a great fight. Try to do your best
next time as well.
Did you get the money from Okamoto ? The prize for the
final fight was &1000000. What ? You did not get a share of it ?
That old man must have been in the Casino again."

3). Tournament Dungeon
You only get to come here once - when fighting in the final battle
of the tournament.
There isn't much encounters - except for main even in the center room,
the arena.
The treasure boxes are:

1 x Di-Stone

1). Temple Knights
At certain point, a pair of Temple Knights blocks your way.

(Before you obtained citizenship of 'Center')
Temple Knights:
"Valhalla citizens are not permitted to enter 'Center'..."

(After you obtained the citizenship)
The Knights are not there.

2). Man
At another point, a man in a very strange outfit blocks your way.
Man:
"You can not pass here."

(After you've talked to Mekata)

Man:
"So, you've listened to what old man Mekata had to say...
I will let you pass through here then. The passcodes you will
to get where you are going are
1213 1834 9192.
but which to use where, I do not know. You whould be able to
figure it out yourself..."

----->5. Valhalla Terminal Station
There is a Terminal and a Messiah shrine here. Not much else.

----->6. Highway
Nothing much here. This is just a bridge, connecting most of the
Valhalla with the bit containing Slum town.

----->7. Madam's Mansion
A mansion where the ruler of Valhalla Area, the infamous Madam of Valhalla,
resides. The guards at the doors only let you pass if you possess the
'Letter of Invitation'.
Inside is just a big hall with one room in the end.

1). Madam

(First time you come, after winning the Tournament)

As you enter, everything fades once more. And again you see a strange lab
and again a middle-aged man is standing in front of a vat. But now it is
a female figure that you see floating behind the dimly-lit glass.
Man:
"She is... your...
You should give her a suitable name..." [1]
If you answer yes to [1], you get to name her.
If you answer no to [1], he asks:
"...you will not give her a name..?" [2]
If you answer yes to [2], he says:
"I see...
Then, I shall tell you the name that was given to her...
Her name is Beth..."
You find yourself back in Madam's mansion. A servant appears.
Alfred:
"Ah. The new Champion Hawk...
Welcome, welcome...
Madam is waiting for you...
Madam ! New Champion Hawk just arrived..."
Curtain in front of you rises, revealing a huge screen. On it an image
of a woman appears.
Madam:
"I am the governess of the Valhalla. Everyone calls me Madam.
'Center' has given me complete authority on anything concerning
this area. I opened the Colosseum... the Casino... all these places
where people can gather and throw themselves into their short-lasting
pleasures. And so Valhalla thrives in peace and prosperity.
People live enjoyable life, free of wars and struggles.
Is not this as it should be ? I think that the way Valhalla is
right now is the best it could be.
But, please take a look at this."
The image of Madam fades and instead a figure of huge pyramidal building
appears.
"This is 'Center'. It controls and governs Millenium . And now
plans are afoot within it to bring the rest of the Millenium under
a much tighter leash. But I want to keep Valhalla a free area,
that it always was."
Madam's image reappears.
"...and now a troublesome thing happened. One of the scientists
I had in my employment had ran away. He want to open the gate
between our world and Makai - and summon many demons through it.
I called you to my mansion to ask you to find him... and bring
him back to me.
Will you do it ?
The scientist's name is Hanada."
Hiroko:
"Hanada !?
Hanada is not here anymore !?"
Madam:
"Yes. He appears to have escaped to the Slum City.
I rely on you to bring him back, Hawk...
Oh and...
I will lend you my pet... Come, Cerberos !"
Screen goes off. Majuu Cerberos appears.
Madam:
"Cerberos will lend his strength to you. You will no doubt find
him useful. Cerberos, say 'Hello' to Hawk..."
Cerberos:
"You are the new Champion Hawk ?
I do not normally serve humans of lower level than me, but since
Madam asked me, I will make an exception for you.
Pleased to be working with you..."
Majuu Cerberos joins the party. Madam reappears on the screen.
Madam:
"Well then, Hawk. I am relying on you."
You are shown out of the room.

----->8. Slum Town.
A place where refuse of Valhalla's society gathers. The dregs of the
human pool live in the lawless town.
There are Jakyou, Garage and Gaia Temple here.

1F:

Treasure Boxes:
1 x 'Incense of Luck'
1 x 'Dis-Poison'
1 x 'Ointment'
1 x &224
1 x 480 MAG

1). Girl.
"Lucifuge, a servant of Lucifer, is said to be responsible for
the creation of money in Makai."

2). Man.
"Valhalla is a free area. Even 'Center' can not just do as they
will around here."

3). Old Man.
"Feels like these days Tournaments are happening less
and less often..."

(After the Tournament event, he adds:)
"You might end up being the last Champion..."

4). Man.
"In the old days demons used to roam all through the city.
Nowdays, thought, you hardly ever see them."

(After the Tournament event, he adds:)

"It seems that demons, who appear in the Colosseum are summoned
by subordinate scientists of Madam."

5). Gaia follower:
"Since Tokyo Millenium was built, our Gaia faith, has only
declined and declined..."

B1:

1). Scientist

(Before Madam's Request)
"At last I can do my research as much as I like !
Don't bother me... Mwa-ha-ha-ha..."
You leave.

(After Madam's Request)

As you enter the room, decorated with various occult paraphernalia,
he shouts at you:
Hanada:
"Who the hell are you ! This is a research laboratory of the
super-genius scientist, Dr. Hanada. Get out ! I am in the middle
of something very important."
What ? You came to take me back !? A great genius like myself must
be given a complete freedom of research. Neither those simpletons in
'Center', nor that old hag Madam never really understood that. And
so I decided to do research completely on my own. And I've succeeded
in opened the passage to Makai. No longer I have to go through all
the usual rigmarole. Now I can summon as many demons as as often
as I like...
Now, I need to assemble the followning items:
First, 「わらうにんぎょう」 (Laughing Doll).
Then, 「なくにんぎょう」 (Crying Doll).
Then, 「おこるにんぎょう」 (Angry Doll).
And lastly the 「おどるにんぎょう」(Dancing Doll).
I place these dolls, full of spirit energy, on a spot where
Makai and our world come close to each other.
And the gate to Makai will open !.
Watch !"
The dolls vanish in a flashes of spiritual fire. When the last one goes,
the ground starts rumbling - and then the pentagram on the wall crumbles
and the gaping hole opens in the wall. The gate to Makai.
"Come, Mercurius ! Kill these simpletons, who disturbed
my previous research !
Wa... wa... wait !!
It's... them you are supposed to kill.... not me..."
He falls to the ground slain. And Youma Mercurius steps over his body
and stands in front of you. You fight it.
When you beat him, the 4 dolls which Hanada used reappear. You take them
all and exit the room.

(After defeating Mercurius)

You are told that the passage to Makai opened by Hanada is still here. But,
it seems as if it is one way only - from Makai to physical world.

------->.<-------

----->9. TV Tower
Huge TV Tower, form which 'Center' broadcasts informational programmes and
news. There are several different reports, you get one at random.
1). News Caster:
"M.N.N. - Millenium News Network. We report all the lastest news.
In Holy Town, 13 Gaia followers, who built a pagan shrine were
slain by Temple Knights. No mercy to heathens, who disturb
the peace of Millenium."

2). News Caster:
"M.N.N. - Millenium News Network. We report all the latest news.
information reports.
Current status of demonic activity - there are presently no
reports of any demons appearing in any of the areas.
The danger level of all areas of Millenium is below 1.
So today, too, pray to the Lord to keep you safe.."

3). News Caster:
"M.N.N. - Millenium News Network. We report all the latest news.
Old man, who is happily working in the Factory has donated
&10000 to the Messiah Church. 78 year old Takemura-san had
worked for 50 years to save up the &10000 he has donated..."

(Post returning to 'Center')

4). News Caster
"M.N.N. - Millenium News Network. We report all the latest
news. Former Coloseum Tournament Champion Hawk
was recently revealed to have really been 'Center' citizen
Aleph. He has been issued with a new ID card and now he is
living in 'Center'.

(Post Fake Messiah appearance)

5). News Caster
"M.N.N - Millenium News Network. We report all the latest news.
A man who saved lives of many people and who is widely thought
to be the long-awaited Messiah has recently appeared in the
Valhalla area's Colloseum...
He claims he wants to battle with Aleph, another man who is
rumored to be the Messiah..."

6). News Caster
"M.N.N - Millenium News Network. We report all the latest news.
At last, the Messiah has appeared ! The place is the Colosseum
of Valhalla area. The name is 'Aleph'. He has defeated Dareth,
the man who went around recently claiming to be the Messiah.
'...and amongst you shall rise the Anti-Messiah, but the
True Messiah shall defeat him....'
It happened, indeed, just like the teaching of Messiah faith
foretold. The True Messiah, Aleph, is amongst us at last..."

(Post freeing Hiroko)

7). News Caster
"M.N.N. - Millenium News Network. We report all the lastest
information reports. Today we have something very regrettable to
tell you. Zain, whom a lot of you might know, has betrayed
the 'Center'. He appears to be spreading false rumors about
them, full of all sorts of malicious disinformation.
With this betrayal of his...."
Suddenly image of Zain appears on the screen:
"Allow me shed some light on the true aims of the 'Center', the
organization which rules the Millenium.
Peace-filled Thousand Year Kingdom, that 'Center' is promising
to construct will be the world in which only a handful of chosen
people will live. Millenium, in the first place, was constructed
as a tool for selection of the people who will be permitted to live
in the Thousand Year Kingdom. When that is done, Millenium will
become useless...
...and will be obliterated !
Already the Valhalla Area became useless. And so the 'Center'
had disposed of it, by having it swallowed by Maou Abaddon.
The fate of Valhalla Area today...
...is the fate of the whole of Millenium tomorrow !"

(Post releasing Amaterasu)

8). Zain:
"...what the 'Center' calls 'Factory Area' is in reality one big
concentration camp ! People who are sent there are made to work
themelves to death ! We must do something about it or there'll
be just more victims...!"

(Post freeings Siren)

9). Bishop:
"From 'Center' to Zain.
Present yourself at the 'Center', immediately.
In case you will not present yourself at the 'Center' within the day,
we will shall cut off all the supply of air to the Holy Town.
That shall most likely result in deaths of everyone living in
the Holy Town, but we have been left with no other choice.
We repeat.
From 'Center' to Zain.
Present yourself at the 'Center', immediately..."

(Post dealing with Senate)

Nothing is being broadcast any more.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CENTER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----->1. 'Center' Tower
This tower is the heart of the 'Center' area. From its heights, the 'Center'
rules Tokyo Millenium with its iron fist.

------->.<-------
22F:
This floor is divided into two unconnected parts. First one is a small
room accessible via elevator. There is only one encounter there, Hiroko's
parents.
The other, larger one, will only be made available much later into the game.
It is accessible by taking stairs up from 21F.

(Smaller central section)

1). Messiah Followers:
"Our daughter is a very able child. She managed to become a Temple
Knight...
She was such a good child. Why did Hiroko decided to go outside
without permission ?"

(After coming here with Hiroko)

As above, but then Hiroko continues:
"Mother...? Father...?
Don't you recognize me...?
What's wrong ? Hey ! Hey, answer me !"
Neither of them replies, so you leave. Outside Hiroko speaks to you:
"Something's is really wrong with them two.
Them forgetting me ?
I just can't... believe that..."

(Main part of the floor)

Treasure Boxes:
1 x 「霞の壷」(Bottle of Mist)
1 x 「エンゼルへあー」(Angel Hair)

2). Door locked with Passcode.
The passcode is 2784. It is told to you by the Bishop, when he tells you
to go speak with the Senate.

3). A Figure in the Blue Robe.
Senator:
"The Senate are mistaken !
They may say that by creating God's Thousand Year Kingdom, they
are bringing about the eternal peace... But in reality, what
they have created is the world where people live in servitude,
deprived of their most basic freedoms !
That is against the will of our Lord..!"

4). Door locked with Passcode #2

The passcode for this door is 3470. First three digits are told to you
by the man in the bar after choices at Tiphareth.

5). Gates of Eden.

The gates are guarded by a pair of Cherubim.

(LAW Path)

(NEUTRAL and CHAOS paths)

If you do not have Hourie's hagoromo with you:

Cherubim:
"The gates of EDEN open only for the chosen ones.
We can tell who is chosen and who is not...
You...
...are not a chosen one.
You, most definitely, can not enter the Paradise..."

If you do have Hourie's hagoromo with you:
Cherubim:
"The gates of EDEN open only for the chosen ones.
We can tell who is chosen and who is not...
You...
...are most definitely a chosen one.
Come, enter the Paradise..."

------->.<-------

21F:
This level is also divided into two unconnected parts. First one is
a small hall, which holds Control room and an elevator down to the 20F.
Second half, accessible only by taking stairs up from 20F is
the main part of the floor. There are Arsenal and Bio Lab.

1). The Control room.
The control room of the 'Center'. The Bishop is in there. Usually he just
sums up your current mission for you.

2). Arsenal.
Researcher:
"This is an R&D department, where the weapons to protect the
citizens are researched. Do you want to hear about the weapons
we have in development ?"
If you choose yes, you can see the stats for a few weapons that you will
have later on in the game: Plasma Sword, Gyro-Jet, Giga Smasher, Railgun,
Blaster Gun.

3). Bio Lab.
Researcher:
"Here we do bio-technological research. Items that are created
through such research are distributed to all citizens.
Is there anything that you want ?"
If you choose yes you can buy some useful items or get an explanation on
what they do.

4). Temple Knights.
"You can not pass through here."

(Once Bishop told you to go and speak with the Senate)

"We were told to let you pass. Zain, has entered too."

5). Door locked with Passcode

The passcode for this door is '0920'. You learn it from a worker in
Akasaka once the 'Center' becomes accessible again in latter part of the game.
Beyond this door lies the lab in which five main characters were created.
You should be familiar with it from the flashbacks you saw earlier on
in the game. And when you enter the control room of the lab, you experience
another flashback.
You see the same lab with two scientists standing in the middle of it.
You know the two of them - they are Professor Mekata and Professor Hanada.
Mekata:
"You will be escaping with us now. We have erased those illfortunate
memories of yours.
And though you may remember your own name, that in itself is the
cause of your suffering..."
Hanada:
"Bad luck, Mekata. Looks like they've caught on to us."
Mekata:
"But there still four of them left...
Oh, well. Then we must escape with just the Aleph, at least...
All right, Hanada. Let's start on it."
Hanada:
"Cool. I am gonna hit the switch now.
That should teach them all... Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha..."

Everything fades...

------->.<-------

20F:
Main floor of the Tower. There are Virtuals, Messiah, Terminal and Bar here.

1). Outomo Akira:
"Mwa-ha-ha-ha !
I fought in Valhalla, with my life at stake - and now I can lead
an easy life. When I was a Champion - well, it may have looked cool
but in reality...
'Defeat equals death" is no joke..."

2). Messiah Follower:
"There is a rumor, that '&' is the money made by demons. I find
it strange, that such money are used in Millenium, the country
of God."

3). Messiah Follower:
"Explosion accident that happened here some time ago was not such
a big thing. It's just that the communication lines inside 'Center'

You are given a choice to do it or not.
If you say no, he says:
"Tight bastard !
Not even a cup, huh..."
"Thanks muchly.
Now then, listen to what I have to say.
What flows through the air of the 'Factory' is not a electro-magnetic
wave. It's a song. Siren's song. It is said to have ability to ensnare
the mind of anyone who listens to it.
Siren used to live happily in Makai with her lover - but then she
was separated from him and forcibly brought to the 'Factory'. Ever
since her song of grief flows through the air of the 'Factory' -
and people there live under it's thrall. But Siren herself does
not mean to control people's minds. She merely sings out of
the sadness which overflows her.
Poor Siren...
I guess she can't help it but keep singing...."

------->.<-------

(After dealing with Senate)

1). Seedy man:
"The town was not destroyed. It's a relief.
But it feels like I am getting weaker and weaker recently."

2). Soldier:
"And in the end, there was nothing I could do...
I am a failure as a soldier..."

------->.<-------

(Post appearance of the Tower in the Holy Town)

1). Seedy man:
"Maybe it's because of the relief at this town managing to survive...
But recently I've been feeling very weak..."

2). Suspicious man:
"Looks like it's because of that tower that we are feeling weak.

"That huge tower is the tail of Moloch, who lives in Makai...

----->9. Tunnel in the side of the cliff.

This is is a well-guarded passage even further into the depths of the earth.
You find it on the overhead map in between two parts of B2F of Factory Mines.

In reality it leads into a Concentration Camp, located deep in the mines
of the Factory. The Concentration Camp itself is divided into two big block,
inaccessible from each other. First one is the block where Hiroko will be
imprisoned. It is accessible only via the side entrance through
the Underworld - check the Underworld area guide. Second is the main section
which is where most of the prisoners are held. That's where this tunnel
leads to.
When you approach it early on in the game, your way is blocked by an armed
guard.
Temple Knights:
"This is off limits !"

(When you've agreed to help Zain to free the Prisoners)

You are met by Zain instead:
Zain:
"Aleph ! I knew you would come !
Come, let's liberate the people from this concentration camp !"
Zain goes inside. You are asked if you want to go inside as well.
------->.<-------

1F:

(Main block - when freeing prisoners with Zain)

1). Woman.

to help her. If you say yes, she cries:
Woman:
"Stop it ! Where are you trying to take me !?"

2). Child.
You enter the cell and see a child inside. You are asked, if you want
to help him. If you say yes, he cries:
Child:
"You're demon, aren't you ! Where are you taking me ?"

3). Thomas Tank:
"To stay alive, I had to killed many people in battles.
Now, I pray here for their happiness in next world."

4). Man.
You enter the cell and see a man inside. You are asked, if you want
to help him. If you say yes, he cries:
"Eh ? Just why should I go anywhere ?
My job is to work here for the sake of the people."

5). Gou Mifune:
"Aah ! It feels so good to work for the sake of everyone, for
the sake of the Messiah !"

6). Man.
You enter the cell and see a man inside. You are asked, if you want

"Where are trying to take me ?"

(Side block - when freeing Hiroko)

B1F:
1). Zain.
You see Zain standing outside one of the cells.
Zain:
"So you've come, Aleph.
I am sorry, but I can not let you free her. Hiroko was imprisoned
for commiting a crime, for leaving the 'Center' without a permission.
I do understand her explanations, but breaking the laws of
the 'Center' is a crime.
All the laws must be obeyed. All the crimes must be atoned for.
If you are breaking the law, Aleph, you leave me no choice but
to fight you. I do not want to defy the orders of the 'Center'."
You fight Senshi Zain then. If you beat him, he says:
Zain:
"Well fought indeed. You sure are the Valhalla Champ.
This battle helped me to make up my mind. Certainly the laws must
be obeyed. But *mistaken* laws must be corrected. I shall no
longer blindly follow the orders of the 'Center'.
I have decided to go and do what I feel I should be doing.
You go and help Hiroko. But at the moment she is not quite her
usual self. Getting her to come with you won't be easy..."

2). Cell with Hiroko.</pre><pre id="faqspan-6">
You enter the cell. You see Hiroko standing inside.
Hiroko:
"Who ? Aleph ?
I have nothing to do with you. Go away."
She will not move.
(If Naja isn't summoned)
You hear Naja's voice:
"I... will help this girl... will help this girl..."
(If Naja is currently summoned)
You are given a choice:
Take her out by force Give up
If you choose to give up, you leave.
If you try to take her out by force, you open the cell and she cries:
Hiroko:
"What are you doing ? Get away from me !
I am *supposed* to stay here !
Stop it !"
Naja appears.
Naja:
"Is this girl your lover ?"
If you answer no, she says:
"But you do love her, don't you...?
I can tell, I can tell..."
If you answer yes, she says:
Naja:
"Liar.
You have not held her hand, you have not kissed her.
Liar. Liar. Liar. Liar."
Either way, she continues with:
"I...
It looks like there is no place for me in your heart.
But if I give my power to Hiroko... If I were be inside Hiroko too...
Then every time you think of her, you'd also be thinking about me...
I decided, I decided !
I will give her my power..."
Naja fuses herself with Hiroko. All Hiroko's abilities are increased by
one.
Hiroko:
"Eh... What was I doing... ?
It feels like from the moment I was taken to the Factory, I was
controlled by something... by someone...
And you, you came to save me... Thank you, Aleph.
How did you find out where I was kept ?
....you've met Mekata !?
Quickly, let's go and meet him. He must know the truth of it.
The truth which I am seeking..."
Hiroko joins the party. (Yaaaaaaaay !! - Re-Miel)

dream of Thousand Year Kingdom real, right ?
Well the Arcadia area is the test case to determine what

Here there is no fighting with demons nor any conflicts between

"Long time ago three men have appeared out of nowhere. This is the
place where it happened.
They have went through the post-Destruction Tokyo and went away to
somewhere else."

(Re-Miel's Comment:
This is the reference to the original "Shin Megami Tensei". The three
men are the Hero, the Law Hero and the Chaos hero, and this is where they

You better take care too..."

of Tairo-no-Masakado's body lie hidden.
It is also said, that if Tairo-no-Masakado is revived, he could
destroy the whole of Millenium...
What do you think ?"

After his death, he was worshipped as the guardian god of Tokyo.)

6). Messiah Follower.

A girl is standing over the boiling pot and mixing potions.
Anuune:
"Ah... Sorry...

the sprinkling of the "Dew of Unfaithfulness.

went out the 1F and fleed east from there.
Human ! If I am to help you, first you must catch Puck and
obtain from him the "Dew of Unfaitfulness."

(After you brought back the dew)

Stop talking nonsense...!
Oy ! Get away from me !!"
He notices you.
"Eh...? Aleph...?
This woman... she just would leave me alone...
Oh, I give up...!"

(After you had Oberon lift the spell)
Anuune:
"In there...in there are Hiroko-san... and him... uhm... Dareth-san.
I got told by Oberon-sama to come here but...
Please, Aleph-san, let's go in together..."
Well, turn right and enter the room. Hiroko is shouting at Dareth:
Hiroko:
"Just what do you think you are doing !
Dragging me forcibly to such a place !
Lech ! Molester ! Pervert !"
Dareth:
"What !
*You* were the one who followed *me* here !
Shit ! I did not do anything !
What the heck is going on ? This girl sure has some mood swings !"
Hiroko:
"Aah ! Aleph ! You came to rescue me !"
Hiroko returns to the party.
Suddenly Anuune sprinkles "Dew of Unfaithfulness " on Dareth.
Dareth:
"Aaah...
What a beautiful elf you are !
I will dedicate myself to your beauty !"

I will give you this in return."

You get "公の右足" (Masakado's Right Foot)
Ooyamatsumi leaves the party.

1F:
Treasure Chests:
1 x 「パンチガン」(Punch Gun)
1 x Magic Chest (Full Moon, Garnet)
1 x 「運の香」(Incense of Luck)

1). Writing in the air.
"This is the City of Chirei.
All who work hard are welcome here !"

2). Kobold:
"If you exit this level and go east, you know the huge hole in
the ground there...
It's a mine, where we dig up weapons.
And you know, they even come from the world above to buy them.
It's all supposed to be very secret though..."

3). Kobold:
"Are you a fighter type of person ?
...I can guess it just from the way you look.
Then, do you know about old smith ? He re-forges the weapons
we dig up and makes brand new weapons out of them. He is
very good.
It could be a good idea to go and see him."

4). Worker:
"Damn ! Those Chirei guys really don't know how to treat human...
I just can't take it anymore..."

(After freeing Siren)

"The real reason I had to run away from the 'Center' is because
I learnt a certain secret.
The secret is '0920'. Figure out the rest by yourself."

5). Gaia follower:
"Here, in the Underworld, the power of our Gaia faith has not
completely diminished yet... It hasn't !"

6). Smithy.

Smith:
"We are busy as you can see.
If you have no business here, go away."

(If you have Hihiirokane)

Smith:
"Wha... what is it that you have there !?
Isn't that 'Hihiirokane' !?
Quickly, give it here !"

The Dwarven Smith snatches Hihiirokane out of your hands.

Smith:
"I'll make you a real good one !
Wait and look forwad to it."

If you come back immediately:

Smith:
"It's not ready it !
A good one takes a long time to make.
Don't be in such a hurry."

If you come back here after several mooncycles:

Smith:
"It's done. Here."
You get Masakado's Katana (マサカドのかたな).
Smith:
"Who could have thought that would get to create such a work
in my lifetime..."

Bar Conversations:
1). Master Dwarf:
"Recently I've heard a new rumor. There seems to be some connection
between the sealed Yamato gods and torn-to-pieces Lord Masakado."

2). Green Cobold:
"Lord Masakado, who long ago was the protector of Tokyo, was torn to
pieces."

3). Yelllow Kobold:
"Ah ! That girl !
She is the one who chased Dareth around, right ?
...
Has she changed the partner then ?"
------->.<-------

(After resurrecting Lord Masakado and releasing Amaterasu)

1). Master Dwarf
"Lord Masakado was ressurected...
In that case... I wonder if he could send me back to Makai..."

2). Green Kobold:
"I heard of a way to go to the Makai, you see...
Now, how did it go... You gather the 7 Pillars... Yeah, you
gather them... and one of them... Mutant Elder...
Ah, it's no good. I forgot."

3). Yelllow Kobold:
"Oi, you ! The two of you get on quite well with each other,
don't ya..."

4). Blonde Man: (Hello, Louis ! - Re-Miel.)
Lois Cypher:
"Aleph-kun...
If you are looking for Abaddon, he is not in the Underworld.
He did as the 'Center' told him and swallowed up Valhalla... But then
he was betrayed.
Right now, he is probably in the Makai..."
------->.<-------

(After freeing Siren)

1). Master Dwarf
"Lord Masakado was ressurected...

Ah, it's no good. I forgot."

(After choices at Tiphareth)

1). Master Dwarf
"Lord Masakado was ressurected...
In that case... I wonder if he could send me back to Makai..."

2). Green Kobold:
"Huh...? You went from the Underworld to the Makai ?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----->0. Outside Encounters
There are several people you meet right on the main map. The transcripts
of the conversations with them are below.
------->.<-------

1). Mutant:
"Look at that mountain !
It is said to be the body of Kuzuryuu, the nine-headed dragon upon
whom the whole world rests. It just appeared here one day - no one
quite knows why..."

(After awakening of Kuzuryuu)

Mutant:
"Kuzuryuu has awakened and flew off somewhere."
------->.<-------

---->1. Roppongi.
These are the remains what what used to be the Roppongi district in

1). Writing in the air:
"Mutant Community. Humans from the world above are prohibited to
enter."

2). Mutant:
"What have you come here for ? This is not the place for
normal humans like you. Leave, now."

(After talking to Hiruko)

"We, mutants, were persecuted in the world above - and finally
banished here, to the Underworld."

3). Virtual Battler

There is a Virtual Battler in this building. As usual there are four
courses. First time you enter it, however, you are transported not
the course you chose, but to a special space. Shortly into it, you
will see a man in a red wheelchair in front of you.
Steven:
"So you are still alive. Splendid, splendid.
I'd guess you are starting to feel that maximum amount of demons
you can stock is a bit too low. So I will give you a new version of
Demon Sumoning Program, which allows you to store up to the total
of 9 demons.
I suceeded in making the size of the data used up by an Ally smaller.
As result, it is now possible to store more Allies in the same
amount of memory."
Your Ally Stock is increased up to 9.
Steven:
"I am hoping to eventually make the Ally data size even smaller,
but it will take some time."

1. Course 1 - &200 entrance fee.
You can explore the course. The boss in the end is Messian Temple Knight. If
you beat it, Virtual Girl appears.
Virtual Girl:
"You did it ! Isn't it wonderful ? You defeated Temple Knight...
Do you still want to continue ?"

2. Course 2 - &300 entrance fee.
You can explore the course. The boss in the end is Tenshi Archangel. If
you beat it, Virtual Girl appears.
Virtual Girl:
"You did it ! Isn't it wonderful ? You defeated Archangel...
Do you still want to continue ?"

3. Course 3 - &400 entrance fee.
You can explore the course. The boss in the end is Messian Zelator. If
you beat it, Virtual Girl appears.
Virtual Girl:
"You did it ! Isn't it wonderful ? You defeated Zelator...
Do you still want to continue ?"

4. Course 4 - &500 entrance fee.
You can explore the course. The boss in the end is Messian Terminator. If
you beat it, Virtual Girl appears.
Virtual Girl:
"Congratulations ! Now that you've defeated Terminator, you are the
Virtual Master. You have nothing to fear now... in the virtual
world, that is..."

B1F:

Treasure Chests:
1 x 「練気の剣」(Renki no Ken)
1 x Magic Chest (Perl, Full Moon)

B2F:
1). Writing in the air:
"Mutant community. Humans from the world above must not enter."

2). Mutant Elder:
"...Here, in the Underworld, lies the original city of Tokyo.
In the series of great cataclsyms, the city was destroyed and
had sunk deep under the ground.
Moreover, to create this 'Millenium' thing, they ensured that
the original city was completely sealed into the Underworld.
'Center' did not permit us, Mutants, to live in Millenium.
They exiled us. So in the end, we thought up to escape to
the Underworld. And here, though far from the light of day
and warmth of the sun, we have survived.
We do not need anything. We do not ask for anything. Just
to see the light of day once more...
Sorry to bother you. And thank you for listening to all
this long-winded speech..."

(After appearance of the Tower in Holy Town)

The elder gives you the same speech, but in the end adds:
"...What ? A huge tower appeared in the world above ?
I think it must be the tail of Maou Moloch. If it's Moloch,
than he lives in the Makai.
I shall give you this. You will need it, if you are to go to
Makai..."
You receive 「金星のピラー」(Pillar of the Venus).
"There are seven Pillars all together. One would need all of
them - having just one is no use. So I'll give mine to you..."

3). Mutant:
"It is said, that Lord Masakado had the powers which
allowed him to enter the Makai.
In this place I have no hope and no dreams. I'd have liked for
our Lord to take me to Makai with him."

4). Mutant:
"'Center' banished us from Millenium because we look grotesque.
Having lost the place to live, we had no other choice but to flee
to the Underworld. That was the only way to survive.
This grudge... We will never forget this grudge, not until
the day the Millenium lies in ruins."

5). Gaia follower:
"Here, in the Underworld, the gods of Yamato are sealed away.
We, Gaia followers, together with the citizens of the Underworld,
are waiting for these gods to be brought back to life..."

B1F (Other Side):

Treasure Chests:

1 x 「体力の香」(Incense of Stamina)

1). Mutant:
"That girl...
With that beauty, I am sure _he_ will open his heart to you.."
(Post meeting Hiruko)
"Hiruko-sama was persecuted because he knew a secret related
to Lord Masakado..."

2). Hiruko:
As you enter a room, you meet two mutants with a small figure standing
between them.
Voice:
"Go away ! Stay away from me !"
Mutant:
"Leave immediately ! Or you will regret it !"
Voice:
"Wait !
You do not look like you've came here to kill me.
Humans who came to the Underworld...
Will you listen to a request of mine ?" [1]
You are given a choice to say yes or no.
If you say no to [1], the figure speaks:
"I see...
You wouldn't listen..."
And you just leave.
If you say yes to [1], the guards part and a small mutant appears from
behind them.
Hiruko:
"I see... You will listen...
Aleph, were you ?
I am... Hiruko.
As for my request...
It is to revive Lord Masakado. Lord Taira-no-Masakado, the protector
god of Tokyo, whose body was torn into six pieces and scattered.
Our Lord fell victim to the in-fighting between the Yamato gods."

(Re-Miel's Note: Yamato was one of the countries in the ancient Japan.
Although these days 'Yamato' is sometimes used to mean the whole of
'ancient Japan'.)

"Since Ookuninushi of Izumo was made to hand the rule of the land
over to Amatsukami, they governed it and Kunitsukami had to obey
them."

(Re-Miel's Note: This is a famous story in Japanese mythology. Ookuninushi
is the descendant of Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Kushinada-hime. Susanoo-no-Mikoto
was exiled from Takamagahara (The Sky Land) by Amaterasu-oomikami, the leader
of Amatsukami (Gods of Heaven). After being exiled, he defeated the great
serpent Yamato-no-Orochi, married Kushinada-hime and started to rule
the lands below. His descendants became Kunitsukami (Gods of Earth).
Ookuninushi (also known as Oonamuchi) became their ruler.
But Amaterasu was not happy about this state of affairs. The lands
below must be ruled by her son Amenooshihomimi-no-mikoto. So she sent
an envoy after envoy to the world below to force Ookuninushi to hand
the rule of it over to her son. Eventually, she suceeded in her intent.
The delegation of Amatsukami - headed by Ninigi-no-mikoto (grandchild
of Amaterasu) descended from Takamagahara to the world below and started
to rule it with Kunitsukami as their servants.)

"But near the end of last century the demons appeared once more
in our world, causing great chaos and confusion everywhere.
Including the land of Yamato - and the Kunitsukami saw it
as their chance. As an opportunity to throw off the yoke which
was forced on them millenia ago.
Kunitsukami wanted to seal Amatsukami away and rule the land
of Yamato once more. But their desire got used by the demons.
Lord Masakado was torn to pieces and Kunitsukami, too, have been
sealed into the small shrines ('hokora') in the Underworld here.
But Kunitsukami, before they got sealed away, have secretly managed
to locate all the scattered pieces of the Lord Masakado's body.
At present, each of them has a part of the Lord's body.
If you wish to bring peace to the long-suffering city of Tokyo,
you must release the seals on Kunitsukami and resurrect
Lord Masakado. And if you do, then mayhaps my sin of betraying
Amatsukami and giving the demons opportunity to enter the land
will be forgiven..."

Then you are asked, if you want to listen to his speech once more. [2]
If you answer no to [2], he asks:
"Then will you release Kunitsukami from their seals and resurrect
Lord Masakado ?" [3]
If you answer no to [3], he says:
"Are you are saying, that you refuse...
But sooner or later, you will *need* the power of Lord Masakado for..."
If you answer yes to [3], he says:
"I see. Thank you.
I am powerless here - but you, you might yet do it...
Good luck..."

(Once you have gathered all six parts of Masakado's body)

Hiruko:
"You have gathered all the parts of Lord Masakado's body ?
Then next you need to fuse them together."

(Once you have fused together Masakado's body)

Hiruko:
"To bring Lord Masakado back to life, truth to be told, you need
his soul, which I have in my possession. When you place the soul in
his body, Lord Masakado's resurrection will be complete.
You have done well in putting Lord's body back together.
Let's us insert the soul then."
The soul is placed into the body. The body... well... _changes_...
Hiruko:
"Lord Masakado has been resurrected..."
Lord Masakado:
"Ooh...
Every vein in my body is overflowing with sheer power...
...Hiruko ?
I was brought back to life again ?"
Hiruko:
"Lord !
It has been the work of this man here. It is Aleph thank
we have to thank for your resurrection."
Lord Masakado:
"I see...
Aleph, is it ?
I owe you my gratitude.
By the way, Hiruko...
We must hurry, must we not ?"
Hiruko:
"Yes, my Lord.
Let us depart immediately for the Cave of the Seal (封印の岩戸)."
They both leave.

------->.<-------

---->2. Hokora #4
A small wooden shrine, the kind that is used for Shinto rituals.
It's locked.

(If you agreed to help Hiruko)

Voice of Hiruko:
"Enter this shrine !"

You then choose if you want to enter the hokora.
------->.<-------

You see before you Kunitsukami Sarutahiko.
Sarutahiko:
"I shall not hand it over !
Never ! No one else can have it !!"
You fight Kunitsukami Sarutahiko. If you defeat him, he stands there
for a moment, stunned. Then he cries out:
"What...
What have I been doing...!?"
What on Earth was I doing ...?"

(If you agreed to help Hiruko)

"Ah, I see... So you want this..."
You get '公の左腕" (Masakado's Left Arm). Then you leave.
If you visit the shrine again, Sarutahiko is no longer there.

------->.<-------

---->3. Hokora #5
A small wooden shrine, the kind that is used for Shinto rituals.
It's locked.

(If you agreed to help Hiruko)

Voice of Hiruko:
"Enter this shrine !"

You then choose if you want to enter the hokora.
------->.<-------

The shrine has one level to it. It is divided in several disjoint sections,
acessible from each other via teleporters. The correct sequence of
teleporters to get to Sukunahikona is: E,W,E,E (E = East, W = West, C = Centre)

1). Kunitsukami Sukunahikona.
You enter the room and a figure of a tiny archer is standing in front
of you.
Sukunahikona:
"Who are you ?
You would approach me knowing that I am Sukunahikona ?
Anyhow, you do not appear to be an evil man...
To tell you the truth, I have been imprisoned in this place.
It is rather unfortunate.
You've came here to help me ? Thank you."
Sukunahikona joins the party.

2). Exiting the shrine

(If you have brought Sukunahikona with you)

When you exit the shrine, Sukunahikona appears before you.
Sukunahikona:
"You have led me out of the shrine. Thank you.
In return, I shall give you this.
It could yield you a fearsome power..."
You get "公の左足" (Masakado's Left Foot.)
Sukunahikona leaves the party.
------->.<-------

---->4. The Cave of the Seal

A cave leading deep into the side of the mountain , this is where
Kunitsukami have sealed all the Amatsukami years ago. Normally when you
come here, you see a gigantic rock tightly sealing the entrance to the cave.
If you have resurrected Lord Masakado and agreed to help Hiruko free
Amatsukami, then when you come here, you shall see Hiruko and Lord Masakado
standing before the rock sealing the entrance.
Hiruko:
"My Lord ! Please, open the way..."
Lord Masakado:
"As you will, Hiruko-dono..."
The rock blocking the entry to the Cave moves aside.
Lord Masakado:
"It is done.
It was rather... strenous, given that I've just been brought
back to life.
Aleph, I would like to thank you properly for gathering together
my body. I shall give you two gifts."
You then receive as your reward 「太陽のピラー」(Sun Pillar) and
「将門の刀」(Katana of Masakado) .
Lord Masakado:
"Now I shall go and rest for a while to recover my strength.
Farewell."
He leaves.
Hiruko:
"Inside this Cave are the sealed Amatsukami.
Hurry !"
You are asked, if you want to go inside.
If you say yes, you enter the Cave of the Seal.

------->.<-------

Each of the first four levels (1F-B3F) of the Cave of the Seal is
a 4x4 square with teleporters in certain cells. In the scheme below,
the NW corner of each level is written as (0,0) and SW corner is (0,3).
Then teleporters are at:

1F(2,1) ----> B1F(3,2) B3F(3,0) ----> B1F(0,3)
B1F(2,0) ----> 1F(0,0) B3F(3,3) ----> B2F(2,3)
B1F(2,3) ----> 1F(3,2) B3F(2,3) ----> 1F(0,1)
B1F(0,1) ----> B2F(2,1) B3F(1,0) ----> B2F(0,1)
B2F(1,2) ----> 1F(2,3) B3F(1,2) ----> 1F(0,3)
B2F(3,3) ----> 1F(3,0) B3F(0,0) ----> B1F(2,1)
B2F(3,0) ----> B1F(3,0) B3F(1,3) ----> B4F
B2F(1,0) ----> B1F(1,2)
B2F(0,3) ----> B3F(3,1)

So the correct path is (from the entrance):

F,R,F,2xR,3xF,R,F,2xR,2xF,R,2xF,3xF,L,2xF,L,F

B4F:

1). Tadzikarao
You see Tadzikarao standing inside a seal. You are asked if you want
to lift the seal from him.
If you say no, you leave the room.
If you say yes, you do it. He speaks:
Tadzikarao:
"Oh ! Thank you !
Ah, how pathetic... To have gotten sealed away just like that,
in spite of all my power..."
You leave.

2). Omoikane:
You see Omoikane floating within a seal. You are asked if you want
to lift the seal from him.
If you say no, you leave the room.
If you say yes, you do it. He speaks:
Omoikane:
"Who could have thought it...!
The demons took advantage of the quarrel between us, Amatsukami,
and the Kunitsukami...
Thank you for releasing me from the seal.
As a reward, I will tell you one thing.
The gods whom you lift the seals from, you will be able to obtain
via fusion."
You leave.

3). Tsukuyomi:
You see Tsukuyomi standing within a seal. You are asked if you want
to lift the seal from him.
If you say no, you leave the room.
If you say yes, you do it. He speaks:
Tsukuyomi:
"You have realised me from the seal. My thanks.
By the way, have you helped my sister Amaterasu, yet ?
If you haven't yet, then hurry ! Release her from her
bindings and set her free."
You leave.

4). Takemikadzuchi:
You see Takemikadzuchi standing within the Seal. You are asked if you want
to lift the seal from him.
If you say no, you leave the room.
If you say yes, you do it. He speaks:
Takemikadzuchi:
"That bastard ! The one who tricked me into being sealed !!
I will show him !
Get out of my way !!"
Takemikadzuchi runs off.
You leave.

5). Amaterasu:
You come in, contained within the Seal. She addresses you:
Amaterasu:
"Son of man ! Listen to me !
Listen to how I, the ruler of Yamato gods, was trapped and bound
by this seal. The Kunitsukami, who back in the ancient of days
accepted our rule, have rose against us. They borrowed the help of
Hebrew gods and demons and placed us, Amatsukami, under a seal.
But Kunitsukami did not get to rule in our stead as they intended.
They too have been sealed away. They were nothing but pawns in
the struggle between the Hebrew divinities.
We, Amatsukami and Kunitsukami, both the deities of the land
of Yamato, should have never allowed a strife to come between
us... It was so foolish..."
You are asked, if you want to release the seal on her.
If you say no, you leave the room.
If you say yes, you do so. She speaks:
Amaterasu:
"You would release me from the seal ?
Who are you, a son of man ? Who are you, who possesses such
fearsome power... The power that may rivaling even that of
my brother Susano-oh.
Aleph ! I owe you my gratitude..."
She leaves.

------->.<-------

---->5. The Altar Stones

Standing in a circle at the bottom of the underworld are a six ancient
altars. Each consists of a stone podium surrounded by gigantic stone
pillars, a-la Stonehenge. When first you approach them, they seem abandoned
and half-ruined - but if you carry with you an appropriate magical pillar,
you will discover that the magic sleeping within them is still very much
alive.
There are six altars stones - each dedicated to a certain planet. If you
carry with you a 'pillar' dedicated to the same planet, it starts to shine and
you are asked if want to place it on the podium. If answer 'yes' you do just
that - and the altar is activated.
Below is the list of the Altars and the Pillars required to activate
them:

1. Mercury (水星) Altar Stone
You get 「水星のピラー」(Pillar of the Mercury) from the Junks Shop in
Holy Town first time you visit it.

2. Venus (金星) Altar Stone
You get 「金星のピラー) (Pillar of the Venus) when you visit Mutant
Elder in the B3F of Roppongi after the strange tower appeared in
the Holy Town.

3. Moon (月) Altar Stone
You get 「月のピラー」(Pillar of the Moon) by winning it at Rave Party
at the Disco at the Holy Town. To do that, you need to enter the Disco
during Full Moon (that's when Rave Party is held), then to enter
Dance Contest and win it. To win Dance Contest, Aleph's Magic
Power (魔力) must be 10 or above.

4. Mars (火星) Altar Stone
You get 「火星のピラー」(Pillar of the Mars) when you defeat Dareth
on your way to rescue Hiroko from the Concentration Camp.

5. Jupiter (木星) Altar Stone
You get 「木星のピラー」(Pillar of the Jupiter) by visiting the worker
at 3rd level of mines in Factory Area, after the Siren has been
freed.

6. Saturn (土星) Altar Stone
You get 「土星のピラー」(Pillar of the Saturn) after helping
the Dwarves with the work in their mines near Akasaka.

Once all the six Pillars are placed at their respective altars, the Gate -
shaped as a giant stone face - rises from the ground to the surface.

7. The Gate to Makai
To activate the Gate, you need 「太陽のピラー」(Pillar of the Sun),
which you receive from Lord Masakado as a reward for freeing him.

Once the gate is activated, it allows for transportation between
the physical world (Malkuth) and the first Sephirah of the Makai (Yesod).

------->.<-------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NB: Before we start on Makai, a little note. The Spirit World, Makai, in this
game is copied, exactly, from Quabalah - esoteric branch of ancient
Judaism. It looks just like Tree of Life - central symbol of Quabalah.
It is divided into ten areas - just like Tree of Life is divided into
10 Sephiroth (Well, eleven, according to some modern Quabalists, but
ancient scriptures do not mention Daath as a Sephirah). Names of the
areas are the same as names of the Sephiroth.
That's for those curious of you. For gameplay purposes, Makai is
dealt with area-per-area below. It is just too large, on the whole.
Also - once you enter it properly, you will start, as you are supposed
to, at Yesod and will travel upwards, in traditional order, to Kether.
BUT. Before entering it properly, you will enter it, very briefly,
near the Tiphareth area, for certain purposes.
Because of that I put Tiphareth area descriptions out of order below,
as the first one to come. Afterwards, it will follow in the standard
order you will be travelling through them.
Good Luck ! - Re-Miel

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAKAI - TIPHARETH

"This is Tiphareth. The busiest place in the whole of Makai."

2). Makai Woman:

Just look around, and you'll see what I mean...
I heard that they are the the body of Kuzuryuu...
(9-Headed Dragon, 九頭龍)."

3). Arcadia Citizen:</pre><pre id="faqspan-7">
"I came from Arcadia Area seeking the art of achieving immortality.
I wonder if I can find it here ? If I can get my hands on it, we can
make Arcadia into a true utopia..."

(After saving Siren)

4). Petersen and Siren

"We owe our gratitude to you.
Thanks to what you've done, we can live together in happiness.
The song she sings now is the song of joy..."

(After awakening Set)

1). Makai Woman

"Have you seen Set flying off ?
It was almost as if he was summoned by something..."

2). Elf

"I saw Set flying off.
Wonder where he went to..."

---->1. The Gate back to the Physical World.
This is the gate you opened up from the 3F of Grand Church in Holytown.
You can return to physical world this way.

---->2. Yetziratic Passage.
The gates of Tiphareth are shut.
They are shut, until you open them from the other side with 'Ain Kagi'
and 'Lamed no Kagi'. That's all when you enter the Makai properly.

---->3. Entrance to Briatic Passage #1

(Until you deal with Abaddon)

Empty space stretches as far as the eye can see.
(Hmm... We wonder what's this all about... -Re-Miel)

(After you deal with Abaddon)

Several sets of passages connect up the Sephirotic Areas of
the Tree of Life. These are the Yetziratic, Briatic and Atziluthic paths.
This passage is an entrance onto one of them. The Briatic Passage
connects Tiphareth, Chesed and Geburah.

---->4. Set's Temple

(When entered Makai via the back-door Gate at Grand Church)

You see Set, deep asleep within a seal.
(Look carefully. Set is *very* mean puppy, according to Egyptian
mythology. - Re-Miel)

(After opening Gates of Tiphareth)

You see Set, stirring a little.

---->5. Tiphareth.
Tiphareth means 'Beauty'/'Harmony'. In Quabalah, Tiphareth is the central
of all Sephiroth in the Tree of Life, holding everything else in balance.
It carries with it meaning of mediation, of balance, of harmony, of peace.
The Vice of Tiphareth is Pride.
The town of Tiphareth in the game has Kaifuku, Terminal, Weapons, Armors,
Fortunes, Jakyou, Bar, Disco, Junks.
The Terminal is not working - it will not work until you enter Makai
properly. And as you can see, it kinda looks strange.

Treasure Chests:
1 x Magic Chest (Nothing ?)

1). Dryad:
"Welcome to the town of Tiphareth."

2). Elf:
"Near the town, Set lies sealed...
No one knows how long ago did he come to be like that..."

3). Woman:
"Because 'Tiphareth' means 'Beauty', this town is just the place
for beautiful people like me."
------->.<-------

Bar Conversations:

(When entered Makai via the back-door Gate at Grand Church)

1). Male from Makai:
"In the south-east, a Siren used to live with her lover.
Sadly, she was abducted..."

2). Skeletal Male:
"I met this really strange guy to the east of here.
Wonder where did he come from..."

3). Blonde Man.
Louis Cypher:
"Why imagine meeting you in such a place, Aleph-kun...
Congratulations on finding your way to Makai.
But it looks like you have only came here through a back-door
entrance. You should try and find a way to come in through
the front door..."
------->.<-------

(After entering Makai properly and opening Gates of Tiphareth)

1). Makai Female:
"To the East of here is the entrance to the Briatic Passage. It
leads to Chesed and Geburah.
If you turn South a little way from here, there will be entrance
to the Yetziratic Passage. It leads to Hod, Netzach and Yesod.
But the space around the entrance to Briatic Passage has been
warped. You can not get it.
Whatever could have happened to it...?"

2). Makai Male:
"Tiphareth is right in the center of the Makai. A whole lot of
roads intersect here...
But recently, by Lucifer's orders, the roads are being shut.
Why ?"

3). Skeletal Male:
"There was this strange girl near the entrance to the Briatic Passage."

4). Louis Cypher.
Louis Cypher:
"Looks like you came here by your own strength, all the way from Yesod.
Well done, well done."
------->.<-------

(After the awakening of Set)

1). Makai Female:
"Everyone's is talking about it. Set has started to stir...
Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes...
It is rumored that even Lucifer-sama is terrified by Set's
ressurection...
And the Kuzuryuu mountains are moving too...
I am worried..."

2). Makai Male:
"You can't get into Briatic Passage without doing something about
Abaddon."

3). Skeletal Male:
"They are saying that Set's body stirred... Is that true ? He was
sealed since aaages ago.
Have you seen it ?"

------->.<-------

(After the awakening of Set)

1). Skeleton:
"Now that Set has been resurrected, what will Lucifer-sama do ?"

2). Makai Woman:
"See, Set has been resurrected, just like I said he would.
But where did he flew off to...?"

3). Makai Man:
"The way Set flew off, he was heading for Malkuth..."

4). Suspicious Man:
"Not only Set flew off, but it seems that now Abaddon awakened too...
After he swalled up the Valhalla Area of Millenium he went to sleep
for a while..."
------->.<-------

(After defeating Abaddon)

1). Skeleton:
"Now that Set has been resurrected, what will Lucifer-sama do ?"

2). Makai Male:
"Looks like Abaddon has vanished.
His body, which used to disintegrate all things that were sucked
into it, was disintegrated itself...
Now the Briatic passage is accessible again, so we can go
to Chesed or Geburah..."

------->.<-------

(After meeting on castle Kether)

------->.<-------

Disco Conversations:
1). Thriller-kun: (Wonder who this is... - Re-Miel.)
"I hate quarells...
I love a child's mind..."

2). Woman:
"All I need to be happy, is to dance...
I just don't understand all those people who go to Chesed
seeking help..."

3) Zombie:
"Looks like Geburah is becoming a fortress.
All the 12 Shinshou are gathering there..."
------->.<-------

---->6. Burning Cross.
A distortion of the space.
You are asked, if you want to enter it.
If you answer yes, you find yourself in a strange building. In there,
you will find the secret behind Arcadia. A word of advise: if you decide
to through the other exit from the building (*not* the one you entered
via), then unless you destroyed a certain computer on the fifth floor
already, you are in for a long trip back.

5). Megiru:
"You saw it, didn't you...
My god, you've seen it now...
The true form of this area I built...
Yes, as you can see indeed this place is not a true Utopia.
It is but a fake, called 'virtual reality'. But fake as it may be,
was it so wrong to try and give people the world of peace that
they desire ?
What is the truth ? Truth is what everyone believe in.
And you have seen the truth that mustn't be exposed. I can not
let you live now..."
You fight Senshi Megiru. When you beat him, he disappears and Computer
speaks:
Computer:
"Messiah Megiru deleted.
Please input the name of a new Messiah."
You are given a choice:
Input a name Destroy computer
Go outside
If you choose to input a name, you input name "Aleph" (and your alignment
shifts towards Law).
If you choose to destroy computer, you damage the mainframe in front of
you (and your alignment shifts towards Chaos).

MAKAI - TRUE ARCADIA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a very small area located partly in the real world and partly
in Makai. One of the entrances leads to the Arcadia <-> Center passage
and it is one-way only and so unacessible for the first part of
the game. The other building here is the True Arcadia itself - and
that has another entrance/exit which connects it to the Tiphareth area
of the Makai. That entrance is how you'd normally get to this area in
the first place.

If you say no:

the Yetziratic Passage. It leads to Netzach, Hod and Tiphareth."

"You are humans ?
Welcome to the Makai. Do you want me to tell you about the place ?"

"Thank you for taking such a trouble to come here. Unfortunately
my body is here... and isn't here - at the same time. That is -
thanks to a dimension warp, it is immaterial. Substanceless.

Is someone there...? Alfred ?

You were swallowed by Abaddon too ?
I may be Madam-sama, the ruler of Valhalla area, but even for
me this is the end, wouldn't you say ?
The 'Center' entrusted me with with Valhalla and I made it into
a free area, where many people have gathered. It flourished...
And the 'Center' stayed silent and watched.... so that they could
use us to choose citizens for Thousand Year Kingdom.
After all they... The Senate... were the ones who hired me in
the first place. But now I am no longer useful to them - and this
is how I end up.
I would have gladly gave my life, if that alone could save the
citizens of the Valhalla..."

It... it can not be....
Aah. Good. You have not died yet...

use to you once more...

1). Makai Inhabitant:
"Oh, it is terrible !
Daigensui-Myouou Atavaka took over this land, Geburah ! And what's
more shocking, is that he borrowed 12 Shinshou (神将、Heavenly Generals)
from Yakushi-Nyorai and brought them here with him. Geburah is now an
iron-walled fortress.
Just between us, it seems each of the 12 Shinshou has a weak
point. But you would probably get killed before you discover it. "

(NB: Daigensui-Myouou (太元帥明王) is title of Atavaka, Generalissimo of
Vidya-rajas. Yakushi-Nyorai (薬師如来) is also known as Bhaisajyaguru

thoroughly. The way it's now, not a mouse can get through..."

3). Skeletal Man:
"When Atavaka took over Geburah, he chased us all out here. We can't
enter the Atziluthic passage now, so we can't go on to Binah or
Chokmah..."

(POST defeating Atavak):
"Now that Atavak and the rest are no more, you can go to
Binah as well. To tell you the truth, there is something
good to see in Binah. What is there to see ? He-he-he-he-he.
....It's a secret."

Go now... To Lucifer-sama !"
You can pass now.

MAKAI - BINAH AREA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----->0. Outside Encounters
There are several people whom you meet right on the main map. The
transcripts of the conversations with them are below.
------->.<-------
1). Elf.
"This place is the Sea of Binah."

2). Makai Inhabitant:
"Now that Set is revived, what on Earth is going to happen ?"

3). Makai Inhabitant:
"Binah is the sea of the Harvest. But at present, there is no one
worthy of governing that Harvest..."

4). Dryad:
"If you want to go to the Lucifer-sama's castle of Kether,
then you can not do it from here. You will have to climb
the tower of Chokmah."

5). Fairy:
"The Sea of Binah was the origin of all the life in Makai..."

------->.<-------

(After saving Ishtar)
1). Elf:
"This place is the Sea of Binah.
Now that Ishtar-sama was resurrected, I have a feeling everything
is going to change..."

2). Makai Inhabitant:
"Ishtar-sama being ressurected, Set being ressurected....
What on Earth is going on these days..."

3). Makai Inhabitant:
"Ishtar-sama, more than anyone else, is suited to governing Binah..."

4). Demon child:
"Wa-i ! I have just been born from the Sea ! I am gonna grow up
to be a real nice demon !"
------->.<-------

---->1. Entrance to Atziluthic Passage
Several sets of passages connect up the Sephirotic Areas of the Tree
of Life. These are the Yetziratic, Briatic and Atziluthic passages.
This passage is an entrance onto one of them. The Atziluthic Passage, which
connects Geburah, Binah and Chokmah.

---->2. Shore of the Sea of Binah
You see a Hourie swimming naked in the sea.
You are asked if you want to grab her Hagoromo.
If you answer no, you leave, if you answer yes - you obtain the Hagoromo.

(Bringing back the Hagoromo)

Hourie turns around.
"Aah... You have it...
Please, give me back my Hagoromo..."
You are asked, if you want to do so.
If you answer yes, you give Hagoromo back to her. She speaks.
"Ah, thank you very much...
It went missing while I was bathing and I couldn't find it.
I was worried "
She puts on her Hagoromo. (My, she looks pretty... - Re-Miel)
"Thank you once more. I am truly grateful that you returned
it to me. I will give you something nice too.
Farewell then..."
All Aleph's abilities are raised by 1.

---->3. Binah.
'Binah' means 'Understanding'. In Quabalah, it is the Sephirah of forms,
of shapes, of archetypes, of manifestations and of femininity. It is sometimes
known as the Womb of Life, for it gives form and shape to any potential. Its
Vice is Avarice. Its Symbol is a Cup or Chalice.
It has Kaifuku (Balance), Kaifuku (Law), Kaifuku (Chaos) and Terminal.
------->.<-------

1). Dryad.
"Do you want me to tell you about Hourie's Hagoromo ?" (#1)
If you answer yes to #1:
"Then give me &20000, please." (#2)
If you answer yes to #2:
"Hourie's Hagoromo has a power to it that can make one's alignment
to appear to be different from what it is..."
If you answer no to #1 or #2:
"Ah, well. Bai-bai !"

2). Makai Inhabitant:
"I heard that a celestial maiden came to take a bath in a sea here.
There is a skeleton in Geburah, who wanted to see her."

3). Throne Room

(Normally)
The room is empty.

(If you have Maou Astaroth, Lv. 52, in your party)
Astaroth:
"Aleph ! Listen !
I ask of you - return to me my original form in this place !"
You are asked, whether you want to do as he says or not.
If you say no, you just leave.
If you say yes, he speaks:
"At long last ! At long last I will regain my true form !
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho !"
His figure starts to flicker and transform...
...until it separates into two.
Fierce Majin Ashuta and gentle Chihoushin Ishtar.
Ashuta:
"At last, I am free ! I am Majin Ashuta. Thank you, Aleph !"
Ashuta leaves.
Ishtar:
"..... I am Chiboushin Ishtar. Long time ago, my freedom was stolen
from me by One God. He has forced me to fuse with Ashuta, and
thus we were trapped within the form of Maou Astaroth.
At long last, I have regained my true form.
Aleph, I can not possibly thank you enough for this.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart..."
Ishtar's body begins to shine. Aleph and Hiroko's bodies are filled
with power.
Then you leave the room.
If you visit her again, she will say:
"Ah, Aleph !
It is nice to see you again, truly.
The Sea of Binah, too, is slowly regaining its former abundance..."

------->.<-------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAKAI - CHOKMAH AREA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--->1. Entrance to Atziluthic Passage.
Several sets of passages connect up the Sephirotic Areas of the Tree
of Life. These are the Yetziratic, Briatic and Atziluthic passages.
This passage is an entrance onto one of them. The Atziluthic Passage, which
connects Geburah, Binah and Chokmah.

--->2. Tower of Chokmah.
'Chokmah' means 'Wisdom'. In Quabalah, it is the Sephirah of dynamic thrust,
of the power potential, of active action and of masculinity. It is sometimes
called 'Supernal Father'. Chokmah is considered to be at such a high level
of mystic realisation, so close to the Unmanifest, that there is no Vice
associated with it. Its Symbol is a Tower.
It has Kaifuku (All), Kaifuku (Chaos), Saving Stone.
------->.<-------
1F:

1). Makai Inhabitant:
"This place is the tower of Chokmah.
Its king is the most gracious Mara-sama."

2). Steel door, sealed by Mara's magic.
This is the elevator, going through all 4 floors of the Tower of Chokmah.
It is sealed by Mara's magic and is impossible to operate until Mara is
defeated.

2F:

1 x 「コアシールド」(Core Shield)

1 x Magic Chest (?)

4F:

1). Mara's Throne Room

Mara:
(LAW & NEUTRAL Alignment)
"Welcome to my Tower of Chokmah.
Aleph. You certainly have the sheer strength.
But are you a man who could be allowed to tread with your feet
the Tower of Chokmah, the origin of all wisdom ?
If you truly are a man possessing of wisdom in abundance, you
should listen to me well.
First, as a prize for coming thus far, I shall give you &999999..."
You are asked if you will accept &999999 from Mara.
If you answer yes, Mara laughs:
"Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...!
You so perfectly fell prey to my temptation !
Vanish from this world, fools !"
Then you fight him.
If you answer no, he continues:
"I see. So you are not interested in money...
Then I shall raise you level up by 10."
You are asked if you agree to it.
If you answer yes, Mara laughs:
"Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...!
You so perfectly fell prey to my temptation !
Vanish from this world, fools !"
Then you fight him.
If you answer no, he continues:
"I see. So someone as strong as you isn't even interested in raising
his level anymore...
Then I shall offer you the whole of the world.
Both Satan and Lucifer shall kneel before you..."
If you answer yes, Mara laughs:
"Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...!
You so perfectly fell prey to my temptation !
Vanish from this world, fools !"
Then you fight him.
If you answer no, he continues:
"You've done well, to resist my temptation !
Then I shall fight you !"
You fight Maou Mara. If you defeat him, he says:
"..........."
and perishes.

(CHAOS Alignment)
Mara:
"Human child Aleph !
Should you be really passing through here ?
I will test you.
Aleph ! Is your Wisdom above 15 ?" (#1)
If you answer no to (#1), he tells you:
"Then you should raise your Wisdom and come back here..."
If you answer yes to (#1), he tells you:
(If your Wisdom is below 15)
"Liars ! Cowards !
If you wish to pass through here, with this kind of Wisdom,
you will have to fight me !"
You fight him. If you defeat him he says:
"Then I will let you pass.
Beyond this wall is Castle Kether. Castle Kether, ruled by
Dai-Maou Lucifer-sama..."
(If your wisdom is 15 or above)
"It seems that your Wisdom is above 15.
Then I will let you pass.
Beyond this wall is Castle Kether. Castle Kether, ruled by
Dai-Maou Lucifer-sama..."

------->.<-------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MAKAI - CASTLE OF KETHER
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---->1. Top of the Tower of Chokmah
This is the point where the top of the Tower of Chokmah enters Kether. Using
it you can pass between Kether and Chokmah.

---->2. Castle Kether
'Kether' means 'Crown'. In Quabalah, Kether is the highest of all Sephirah,
it is the fount of Creation, a point where life wells up from the deeps of
Unmanifest. It is the First Manifestation, the beginning, the experience of
union with divine. Its Titles are the Ancient of Days, the Crown of Creation,
the Most High, the Concealed of Concealed. It has no vices. Its symbol is
a Crown (or sometimes, a point withing a circle).
------->.<-------

1). Gates of Castle Kether

Spirit of the Right Gate:
"This place is Castle Kether"
Spirit of the Left Gate:
"This is the place of Lucipher-sama."
Spirit of the Right Gate:
"Lucifer-sama gave orders not to let anyone pass."
Spirit of the Left Gate:
"Lucifer-sama gave orders not to let anyone pass, except for
the people of Chaos."
Spirit of the Right Gate:
"Would Lucifer-sama have allowed this gentleman in ?"

(LAW alignment)

Spirit of the Left Gate:
"Lucifer would not permit him to enter."
Spirits of Both Gates:
"By the orders of Lucifer-sama, you shall not pass through this gate."

(NEUTRAL Alignment)

Spirit of the Left Gate:
"Lucifer would not permit him to enter."
Spirits of Both Gates:
"By the orders of Lucifer-sama, you shall not pass through this gate."

Suddenly Masakado's Katana (将門の刀) starts to glow.

Spirit of the Right Gate:
"O... Oh...! This... this light !"
Spirit of the Left Gate:
"It's blinding...!"
The Spirits of the Gate dissipate and vanish.
Once the light dies out, Masakado's Katana crumbles, becoming a heap of
scrap metal. You gain Hihiirokane (ヒヒイロカネ).

(CHAOS Alignment)

Spirit of the Left Gate:
"Lucifer-sama would allow him in."
Spirits of the Both Gates:
"On the order of Lucifer-sama, we permit you to pass through these
gates.

1F:
1). Makai Inhabitant.
"This is Castle Kether.
It is the castle of Lucifer-sama, the ruler of Makai."

2). Makai Inhabitant.

"In this castle reside the mosted trusted servants of Lucifer-sama,
first among whom is Lucifuge-sama..."

(LAW and NEUTRAL alignment)

"If you are planning on going further into the castle, then you
will never come back alive...."

(Remiel's Note: Lucifuge Rofocale is one of the chief demon princes, the
arch-demon of Binah and the ruler of Satariel.
His name means 'The One Who Flees Light'. In medieval hierarchy of hell,
he is the Prime Minister of infernal spirits, his power is over all the
treasure of the world and over all its contracts. The black magicians
in the act of selling their soul, would call upon him to seal
the contract.)

3). Woman:

(LAW and NEUTRAL alignments)

"Could it be that you are thinking of defeating Lucifer-sama ?
It's impossible, purely impossible. You'd better give up."

(CHAOS aligment)

"You want to gain Lucifer-sama as your Ally ?
What a bold thought..."

6F:

1). Beelzebub

(NEUTRAL Alignment)

"...Who goes there ?
You dare to wittingly tread upon the domain Dai-Maou Beelzebub !?
...Are you this Aleph that Lucifer-sama spoke of ?
Certainly, to have come thus far you are no common human.
What do you say. Shall you let this Beelzebub have a more thorough
taste of your power ?"

If you answer no to this question, Beelzebub laughs.

"Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha...
Looks like your value your life indeed.
Then get out."

You leave.
If you answer yes, Beelzebub chuckles:

"Well, well. That's good spirit there.
Then I won't hold back either...
Come !"

You fight Maou Beelzebub. If you defeat him, he speaks:

"Lucifer-sama was right... to be troubled...
It's your... win...
My flesh is lost... for a while...
When you shall recreate my flesh once more, I shall serve you.
Be seeing you... in Jakyou no Yakata..."

(CHAOS Alignment)

"...Who goes there ?
You dare to wittingly tread upon the domain Dai-Maou Beelzebub !?
this is a domain of Dai-Maou Beelzebub ?
You are that Aleph, aren't you, whom Lucifer-sama came to
be somewhat fond of ?
I will lend you my power too.
But not just like that.
Be seeing you... in Jakyou no Yakata..."

9F:

1). Lucifuge Rofocale:

"Greetings !
We have not met yet.
I am the Lucifuge, trusted and devoted servant of Lucifer-sama.
I serve Lucifer-sama in many duties. Making '&'(makka) is one
of them.
Plesed to be meeting you.
Oo ! What a strength ! I must report this to Lucifer-sama
immediately !"

With this he vanishes.

2). Lucifer Morningstar

(NEUTRAL path)

Lucifer:
"So you've come...
But what a weak creature a human being is.
All this way, and you still couldn't decide whether to join
with me or with Satan.
Now here you stand, ready to challenge Dai-Maou (大魔王) Lucifer
in combat. Neither a servant of Daitenshi(大天使) Michael nor
an agent of Shinrei(神霊) Satan, but a simple human being...
What a fearsome strength.
But you have no more than abandoned yourself to combat, losing
your self... the reality... the terror...
I, Dai-Maou Lucifer shall teach you the true meaning of terror !"
You fight Dai-Maou Lucifer. If you defeat him, he says:
"So you've grown as strong... as to defeat me..
But it would do you well to remember... Humans aren't as strong
creatures... as to be able to survive entirely on their own.
...
I have had Moloch to suck in the magnetite from the physical
world and fed all that energy into Kuzuryuu (九頭龍), the nine-headed
dragon who makes up the mountains of Makai. It was the One God who
ordered me to have Kuzuryuu carry out the true Great Destruction.
And I have made a... pretense of obedience... For true Great
Destruction would have been a great catastrophe for the Makai as
well as the physical world. I have thought to use the power of
Kuzuryuu not for the Great Destruction but for the better of
the Makai...
One God, knowing of my rebellious intentions, have had Gabriel to
prepare another tool for carrying out the Great Destruction... That
secret lies now in Eden.
Kuzuryuu will soon awaken... Millenium would probably be
destroyed...
Aleph... If you were as strong as to defeat me, then you must cast
both Kuzuryuu and Eden down into the same oblivion.
That is your destiny.
But don't forget...
If humans are to prosper, then one day the Great Destruction will
come again... will be repeated again..."

------->.<-------

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDEN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

----->0. Outside Encounters
There are several people whom you meet right on the main map. The
transcripts of the conversations with them are below.
------->.<-------

(When first brought here by Gabriel, on LAW path)

1). Man:
"Gabriel-sama brought me to this place."

(POST Mara and/or Castle Kether):

0). Man:
"I understand now why Gabriel-sama has brought me here.
I am one of those who were born with the destiny of living
in the new world..."

1). Soldier:
"I don't know anything, except how to fight... And yet I heard the
voice of God and now I am in EDEN.
I don't even know, what can I do for the new world...
This must be what they call 'destiny'..."

2). Girl:
"I just can't believe I am in Eden..."

3). Worker:
"I heard the voice of the Lord. Then an Angel appeared before me...
...and I was brought to EDEN.
From now on I will work here for the sake of the new world."

4). Old man:
"Someone as old and feeble as me being chosen...
For what little is left of my life, I shall labor here
to build a new world..."

5). Temple Knight:
"I thought Millenium itself was a mistake. And then the Lord
Himself spoke out to me.
We who heard the true words of the Lord were chosen to build
a new world."

6). Woman:
"Here stand gathered, with no distinction by rank or creed, the people
who heard true words of God..."
------->.<-------

---->1. Exit to the 22F of the 'Center' tower.

There is where EDEN connects (or used to connect) with Tokyo Millenium.

(When first brought here by Gabriel)

As you try to approach the exit, Archangel Gabriel appears:
"Now, quickly, go to Zain. He is waiting for you."

(POST the launch of the Arc)

The gates of Eden are not longer there.

---->2. The Grove
The is in the southernmost corner of EDEN.

(POST Zain's rebirth)

No one is here...

---->3. The Hill (Northernmost part).
At first, you meet Zain here.

(POST Mara)

Gabriel:
"This is still incomplete. You can not come in.
If you want to meet Zain, who is in the South, you should
go and meet him."

(CHAOS path, after Kuzuryuu awakening)

There is now a huge tower, leading even further up, in place of the
hill.

(NEUTRAL path, after Kuzuryuu awakening)
</pre><pre id="faqspan-8">
Gabriel:
"This is not a place for you to enter.
Zain is down south.
You should go and meet him."

52F:
There are Terminal and Messiah here.

1). Terminal.

(NEUTRAL path)

You see Steven here. He asks you:
"How are you doing ? Anything bothering you, Aleph ?
If something is, I'll try and help. I can take you from the Ark to
wherever you want to go. But only until you finish up what you've
to do there. Afterwards, I must return you here.
Where do you want to go ?"
You get a choice of:
Jakyou Repair Garage
Outside Save

(CHAOS path)

2). Sebaoth:

(CHAOS and NEUTRAL paths)

"The Ark is only to be boarded by people, who are suitable for living
in the new world.
Why have you come here ?
So that the new world wouldn't be full of violence and malice, so
that it wouldn't have to be destroyed again, only those who excel
in honoring the Lord and obeying his will - only they were to be chosen.
You, who murder and destroy without an end !
You, who through the practice of heretical arts fuse demons as it
pleases you !
Sinful creatures ! There is no place for such as you on the Ark !"

You fight Shinryou Sebaoth. If you defeat him, he dies.

53F:

1). Shaddai:

(CHAOS and NEUTRAL paths)

"So you came...
The demon child, born of the foolish intention to handcraft a Messiah,
in denial of the order of things established by God...
To be so conceited, as to think that you can twist the destiny set
down by the Lord Himself !
I, Shaddai, the High King of Destiny, am not forgiving you !"

You fight Shinryou Shaddai. If you defeat him, he dies.

54F:

(CHAOS and NEUTRAL paths)

1). Elohim:
"You, who were born against the will of the Lord !
You, who summon demons at will and have them do battle for you !
Truly you are a demon child !
Demon child ! Shall you listen to the devil's voice, summon your
flock of demons, take up your demon sword and raise it against me !?
Be undone !"

You fight Shinryou Elohim. If you defeat him, he dies.

55F:
1). Closed door:

(Neutral path)

(CHAOS path)
Lucifer appears.
"Beyond that door is Satan. No one but me can open this door.
Stand aside !"
He blasts the door with his Light.
Now the door is open.

2). Satan.
"Aleph !
False Messiah !
Finally you come here...
But here it is that you will meet your ending.
You should rejoice at your good fortune - your body will not
be burnt with Megido Arc !
Or do you wish to persih together with your world ?
Lucifer:
"Satan !
Do not shoot the Megido Ark !
Creating the new ideal world, at the cost of destroying
everything !?
Such an idiocy I am not forgiving !"
Satan:
"Lucifer !
What are you doing - have you forgotten the mission given to
you by God - true Great Destruction using Kyuutou-Ryuu ?
Since when have you became a lackey of humans ?"
Lucifer:
"The destruction I commit is for the sake of releasing humans
and demons from under the rule of One God and creating a
new world !

----> 2. Fusion mechanics: 2-Demon Fusion

There are several sets of rules governing two-demon fusion, depending
on which two demons are being fused. The possible cases, in the decreasing
order of precedence are:
A). Special 2-Demon Fusion
B). Slime Fusion
C). Same-Race Fusion
D). Human Fusion
E). Elemental Fusion
F). DARK Fusion
G). Same Major-Race Fusion
H). Normal 2-Demon Fusion

In cases when the same pair of demons falls into more than one of
these categories, the preference is given to the one higher up the list.
For example when fusing GEDOU Slime with any other DARK demon, the rules
for Slime fusion will be used instead of the ones for DARK fusion.
The detailed description of each of these fusion types is given below:

A). Special 2-Demon Fusion

There are some special pairs of demons, which have been fixed to produce
a specific demon as result, disregarding all the usual rules of fusion.
Usually, there is something significance to it coming from the mythological
background of the demons.
These special pairs are:

HAKAISHIN Shiva + MEGAMI Parasvati = MAJIN Aldernalisuvara
HAKAISHIN Shiva + JIBOUSHIN Kali = MAJIN Aldernalisuvara
HAKAISHIN Shiva + JIBOUSHIN Durga = MAJIN Aldernalisuvara
MEGAMI Parasvati + JIBOUSHIN Kali = JIBOUSHIN Durga
MEGAMI Parasvati + JIBUSHIN Durga = JIBOUSHIN Kali
JIBOUSHIN Kali + JIBOUSHIN Durga = MEGAMI Parasvati
AMATSUKAMI Amaterasu + AMATSUKAMI Tsukuyomi = HAKAISHIN Susano-O
AMATSUKAMI Amaterasu + HAKAISHIN Susano-O = AMATSUKAMI Tsukuyomi
AMATSUKAMI Tsukuyomi + HAKAISHIN Susano-O = AMATSUKAMI Amaterasu
SHINJUU Barong + KIJO Rangda = HAKAISHIN Shiva

B). Slime Fusion

GEDOU Slime can be used in fusion to strengthen another demon. This is
not suprising, considering it's practically a pure, formless magnetite.
When fusing GEDOU Slime with any other demon, the HP/MP maximums of
that demon are increased to 1.25 of their original values. But this can
only be done once.

C). Same-Race Fusion

When fusing two demons of the same race, for some races the fusion
is impossible and for the others a SEIREI demon is produced. The races
for which such fusion is possible are listed below, along with the
resulting SEIREI demon:

Race | Seirei
----------------------------------------
Shinjuu | Salamander
Amatsukami | Undine
Ryuu-Ou | Undine
Kijo | Undine
Tenshi | Sylph
Reichou | Sylph
Kunitsukami | Gnome
Youki | Gnome
Datenshi | Flamies
Seijuu | Flamies
Majuu | Flamies
Yousei | Aquans
Youchou | Airies
Youma | Airies
Chirei | Earthies
Demonoid | Earthies
Yama | Earthies

D). Human Fusion

Special rules apply when fusion includes a human: MESSIAN or GAIARTH races.
It is impossible to fuse two humans together, but it is possible to fuse
and human and another demon.
First consult the following chart to find the alignment of the resulting
demon:

MESSIAN + LAW/NEUTRAL Demon = LAW MESSIAN + CHAOS Demon = NEUTRAL
GAIRTH + LAW Demon = NEUTRAL GAIARTH + LAW/NEUTRAL Demon = CHAOS

Then calculate the maximal level of the resulting demon according
to following formula:

(Lv. of Human + Lv. of Demon + Lv. of Aleph ) / 3 + 3

Within these restrictions on the alignment and level, the result of
the fusion is chosen at random.
More spectacularly, demons of higher level than Aleph are permitted to be
fused.

E). Elemental Fusion

When fusion includes a SEIREI demon the following special rules apply:
when fusing a SEIREI demon and a non-SEIREI demon, then non-SEIREI demon
will be either go down a rank, up a rank or up two ranks within its race,
according to following table:

Race | Salam. | Undine | Sylph | Gnome | Flamies | Aquans | Airies | Earthies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Da | +1 | +1 | +1 | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX
Am | +1 | +1 | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX
Rc | +1 | +1 | +2 | XX | XX | XX | +1 | XX
Mg | XX | +1 | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX
Mj | +1 | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX
Sj | +1 | XX | XX | +1 | +1 | XX | XX | XX
Ej | +2 | +1 | XX | +1 | +1 | XX | XX | +1
Hs | XX | XX | +1 | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX
Rj | +1 | +1 | +1 | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX
Jb | +1 | XX | +1 | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX
Kn | +1 | XX | +1 | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX
Ts | +2 | +2 | +2 | +1 | +1 | +1 | +1 | +1
Yc | +1 | +1 | +2 | XX | +1 | +1 | +1 | XX
Ro | +2 | +1 | +2 | +1 | +1 | +1 | +1 | XX
Yo | +1 | +1 | +2 | XX | XX | +1 | +1 | XX
Aj | +2 | +1 | XX | +2 | +1 | +1 | XX | +1
Ya | XX | +1 | +1 | +2 | XX | XX | +1 | +1
Cr | +1 | +2 | XX | +2 | XX | +1 | XX | +2
Ys | XX | +2 | +2 | +1 | XX | +1 | +1 | +1
Dm | +2 | +2 | +2 | +2 | +1 | +1 | +1 | +1
Dt | +2 | +1 | +1 | XX | +1 | +1 | +1 | XX
Yk | +2 | +2 | +1 | +2 | +1 | +1 | XX | +1
Kj | +1 | +2 | +1 | +2 | XX | +1 | XX | +1
Js | +1 | XX | XX | +1 | XX | XX | XX | XX
Kj | +1 | +1 | +2 | XX | +1 | +1 | +1 | XX
Jk | XX | +2 | XX | +2 | XX | +1 | XX | +2
Yj | +1 | +1 | XX | +2 | +1 | +1 | XX | +1
Oj | XX | +2 | +1 | +2 | +1 | +1 | +1 | +1
Sk | XX | +1 | +1 | +2 | XX | +1 | +1 | +1
Mo | +1 | +1 | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX | XX
Jr | +1 | +2 | +1 | +2 | XX | +1 | +1 | +1
Uk | XX | +1 | +1 | +2 | XX | +1 | +1 | +1
Ar | XX | +1 | +1 | +2 | XX | +1 | +1 | +1
Gd | XX | +1 | +1 | +1 | XX | +1 | +1 | +1

When fusing two SEIREI demons with each other, first determine the race
of the resulting demon according to the following chart:

| Salam. | Undine | Sylph | Gnome | Flamies | Aquans | Airies | Earthies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Salam. | -- | Da | Hs | Sj | Dt | Ts | Dt | Ej
Undine | | -- | Mg | Jb | Ts | Kj | Yo | Ro
Sylph | | | -- | Rj | Dt | Yo | Rc | Ya
Gnome | | | | -- | Yk | Kj | Ya | Cr
Flamies| | | | | -- | Ts | Yo | Aj
Aquans | | | | | | -- | Ys | Cr
Airies | | | | | | | -- | Cr
Earth. | | | | | | | | --

then within that race, the resulting demon is the highest level demon whose
level is still lower than Aleph's level. If there are no demons in that race
whose level is lower than Aleph's, the result is GEDOU Slime.

F). DARK Fusion

When the fusion includes a DARK demon, the following rules apply:

When fusing a higher-level DARK demon with a lower level non-DARK demon,
add up their levels. If the result is a multiple of two, the DARK demon
will go one rank up within its race, otherwise the result will be a GEDOU
Slime.
When fusing a lower-level DARK demon with a higher level non-DARK demon,
add up their levels. In the increasing order of preference: if the result
is a multiple of 2, the DARK demon will go one rank up down within its race.
If the result is a multiple of 3, the non-DARK demon will go one rank down.
If the result is a multiple of 5, the non-DARK demon will go one rank up.
Finally, if the result is a multiple of 7, the non-DARK demons will go
two ranks up.
Example: If you fuse level 20 DARK demon with level 22 non-DARK demon,
then the non-DARK demon goes up two ranks. This is because 42 being a multiple
of 7 takes precedence over it being a multiple of 2 or of 3.
When fusing two DARK demons of a different race, the higher level demon
goes on rank up within its race.
When fusing two DARK demons of the same race, first consult the following
table to find the target race:

Race | Result Race | Result
------------------- -------------------
JASHIN | HAKAISHIN MAOU | MAJIN
JARYUU | RYUUJIN KYOUCHOU| REICHOU
YOUJUU | SEIJUU JAKI | KUNITSUKAMI
YUUKI | YAMA AKURYOU | YUUKI
SHIKI | CHIREI YOUJU | YOUSEI
GEDOU | DEMONOID

then calculate the target level with the following formula:
(Lv. of 1st Demon + Lv. of 2nd Demon) / 2 + 2
The result is the demon within the target race with the level closest to
the target level.

G). Same Major-Race Fusion

When fusing two demons of the same major-race, first calculate the target
level with the following formula:
(Lv. of 1st Demon + Lv. of 2nd Demon) / 2 + 3
The result of the fusion will be the lowest level demon within the target
major-race whose level is higher than the target level.
In case of two possible such demons, the preference is given to the one
of the race which comes first in the table in the section 1.5, which gives
the grouping of the races into major-races.

H). Normal 2-Demon Fusion

The rules governing the ordinary 2-demon fusions are as follows: first
consult the table in the section 1.5 to determine the target race based
on the races of the demons being fused.
Then calculate the target level with the following formula:
(Lv. of 1st Demon + Lv. of 2nd Demon) / 2 + 3
The result of the fusion will be the lowest level demon within the target
major-race whose level is higher than the target level.

----> 3. Fusion mechanics: 2-Demon Fusion

Similar to the 2-demon fusion, there are several sets of rules governing
3-demon fusion:
A). Special 3-Demon Fusion
B). Elemental Fusion
C). Human Fusion
D). DARK Fusion
E). Demonoid Fusion
F). Same Major-Race Fusion
G). Normal 3-Demon Fusion

The detailed descriptions are provided below:

A). Special 3-Demon Fusion
There are some special triplets of demons, which have been fixed to produce
a specific demon as result, disregarding all the usual rules of fusion.
Usually, there is something significance to it coming from the mythological
background of the demons.
These special triplets are:

MEGAMI Lakshmi + MEGAMI Parsvati + MEGAMI Sarasvati = AMATSUKAMI Amaterasu
MEGAMI Parsvati + JIBOUSHIN Kali + JIBOUSHIN Durga = HAKAISHIN Shiva
YOUCHOU Aello + YOUCHOU Celaeno + YOUCHOU Okypete = REICHOU Phoenix
YOUCHOU Morrigan + YOUCHOU Macha + YOUCHOU Neamhain = REICHOU Yatagarasu
REICHOU Suzaku + SHINJUU Genbu + RYUUJIN Seiryuu = SEIJUU Bastet
REICHOU Suzaku + SHINJUU Genbu + SEIJUU Byakko = RYUUJIN Ananta
REICHOU Suzaku + SEIJUU Byakko + RYUUJIN Seiryuu = SHINJUU Nrisinha
SHINJUU Genbu + SEIJUU Byakko + RYUUJIN Seiryuu = REICHOU Garuda

B). Elemental Fusion
When a fusion involves a demon of SEIREI race, the following special
rules apply:
When fusing one SEIREI demon with two non-SEIREI demons, first use
the 2-demon fusion rules on the latter two. Then, take the result and
move it one rank up within its race. Finally, use the 2-demon fusion rules
on the resulting demon and the SEIREI demon.
When fusing two SEIREI demons of the same element (Fire, Water, Wind, Earth)
and one non-SEIREI demon, first consult the 2-demon Elemental fusion rules
and find out the rank modifiers (+2, +1 or -1) each of the two SEIREI demons
would impose on the non-SEIREI demon. Take the sum of the values and add one.
Apply the resulting rank modifier to the non-SEIREI demon to obtain the
result of the fusion.
Example: suppose TENSHI Angel is being fused with SEIREI Gnome and SEIREI
Earthies. Gnome and Earthies would each add +1 to the rank of the TENSHI
race during the course of ordinary two-demon fusion. Thefore we take the
sum, +2, and add one to it. The result, +3, is the rank modifier we obtain
to the TENSHI Angel, so the result of the fusion will be TENSHI Power.
When fusing two SEIREI demons of different elements and one
non-SEIREI demon, first use the 2-demon fusion rules to fuse the two SEIREI
demons and move the result one rank up within its race. Then use 2-demon
fusion rules again on the resulting demon and the non-SEIREI demon
to obtain the result of the fusion.
When fusing three SEIREI demons together, you either have two low-elementals
(Flamies, Aquans, Airies, Earthies) and one high-elemental (Salamander,
Undine, Sylph, Gnome), or you have two high-elementals and one low-elemental.
First use the 2-demon fusion rules on the pair of high-elementals or
the pair of the low-elementals, then use the 2-demon fusion rules on the
result and the remaining elemental. Finally, move the demon you get one
rank up within its race to obtain the result of the fusion.
In case of fusing three SEIREI demons together, following combinations
are exceptional ones which disregard the rules outlined in the paragraph
above:

Salamander + Undine + Sylph = DAITENSHI Kushiel
Salamander + Undine + Gnome = RYUUJIN Maya
Salamander + Sylph + Gnome = SHINJUU Sphinx
Undine + Sylph + Gnome = JIBOUSHIN Kikuri-hime
Flamies + Aquans + Airies = SEIREI Gnome
Flamies + Aquans + Earthies = SEIREI Sylph
Flamies + Airies + Earthies = SEIREI Undine
Aquans + Airies + Earthies = SEIREI Salamander

C). Human Fusion

The only 3-demon fusion including a human (MESSIAN or GAIRTH races) which
is permitted is the one which includes a human and two non-human demons. In
such a case, first a human and the lower level demon are fused according
to the 2-demon fusion rules. The result is then fused with
the higher level demon and finally the demon obtained is moved one rank up
within its race.

D). DARK Fusion

Following rules govern the fusions which involve a DARK demon:
When fusing a DARK demon with two non-DARK demons, first use the 2-demon
fusion rules to fuse the two non-DARK demons. Then move the resulting
demon one rank up within its race and use the 2-demon fusion rules to
fuse it with the DARK demon.
When fusing two DARK demons with one non-DARK demon, first use the 2-demon
fusion rules to fuse the two DARK demons. Then move the resulting demon one
rank up within its race and use the 2-demon fusion rules to fuse it with
the non-DARK demon.
When fusing three DARK demons, first choose select the highest level demon
of the three. Then this demon is moved 3 ranks up within its target
race. This fusion type is special, in that you are allowed to fuse demons
up to 9 levels higher than Aleph's current level.

E). Demonoid Fusion

Following rules govern the fusions which involve DEMONOID race demon:
When fusing DEMONOID demon with two non-DEMONOID demons, first the
two non-DEMONOID demons are fused using 2-demon fusion rules. The resulting
demon is then fused with the DEMONOID demon. Finally, the result is moved
one rank up within its race.
When fusing two DEMONOID demons with one non-DEMONOID demon, first the
higher level DEMONOID demon is fuse with the non-DEMONOID demon using
the 2-demon fusion rules. Then the result is fused with the remaining
DEMONOID demon. Finally the resulting demon is moved one rank up within
its race.
When fusing three DEMONOID demons the result is fixed to be SEIREI Gnome.

F). Same Major-Race Fusion

When the two lower-level demons are of the same major-race, then first
they are fused using the 2-demon fusion rules. Then the result is fused
with the remaining demon. Finally, the resulting demon is moved one rank
up within its race.

G). Normal 3-Demon Fusion

First take two lower-level demons. Look at their major-races, and consult
the following table:

|SHINZOKU|KISHINZOKU|MAZOKU|HITEN|RYUUZOKU|CHOUZOKU|JUUZOKU|KIZOKU|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHINZOKU | %% | AA | BB | CC | DD | EE | FF | GG |
KISHINZOKU| | %% | GG | HH | II | JJ | KK | LL |
MAZOKU | | | %% | MM | NN | OO | PP | GG |
HITEN | | | | %% | QQ | RR | SS | HH |
RYUUZOKU | | | | | %% | TT | UU | KK |
CHOUZOKU | | | | | | %% | VV | JJ |
JUUZOKU | | | | | | | %% | KK |
KIZOKU | | | | | | | | %% |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

With '%%' are marked the cases where you should be consulting the rules
for the case F (Same Major-Race Fusion) above. Otherwise, take the obtained
letter of alphabet, look at the major-race of the remaining demon and
consult the following table to obtain the race of the resulting demon:

|SHINZOKU|KISHINZOKU|MAZOKU|HITEN|RYUUZOKU|CHOUZOKU|JUUZOKU|KIZOKU|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
AA | Mj | Hs | Mj | Mo | Mo | Da | Rj | Rc |
BB | Mo | Mj | Hs | Hs | Hs | Jb | Hs | Hs |
CC | Da | Mo | Jb | Mj | Mo | Hs | Kn | Rj |
DD | Mg | Hs | Hs | Rc | Jb | Jb | Hs | Js |
EE | Am | Am | Da | Rj | Da | Da | Rj | Rc |
FF | Rj | Rj | Kn | Kn | Mj | Rj | Js | Sj |
GG | Kn | Js | Jb | Rj | Hs | Da | Rj | Kn |
HH | Js | Mj | Am | Rc | Sj | Hs | Rj | Jb |
II | Hs | Sj | Mg | Hs | Js | Am | Mj | Rj |
JJ | Am | Am | Da | Jb | Am | Mg | Rj | ?? |
KK | Sj | Sj | Rj | Sj | Kn | Rj | Js | Sj |
LL | Kn | Js | Js | Am | Sj | Mg | ?? | Js |
MM | Da | Mg | Mg | ?? | Mo | Am | Am | Jb |
NN | Jb | Mg | Jb | Hs | Jb | Mg | Jb | Sj |
OO | Mg | Rj | Da | Am | Mg | Da | Kn | Da |
PP | Rj | Mj | Hs | Kn | Kn | Rj | Sj | Kn |
QQ | Rc | Mg | Jb | Mj | Js | Am | Jb | Mg |
RR | Mg | Am | Mg | Mg | Am | ?? | Am | Am |
SS | Rj | Rj | Kn | Rc | Kn | Rj | Sj | Ej |
TT | Am | Am | Hs | Am | Jb | Da | Mo | Jb |
UU | Jb | Mg | Mo | Mj | Sj | Mj | Kn | Rj |
VV | Rj | Rj | Kn | Am | Mj | Mg | Ej | Kn |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The '??' means that a random demon with a level less that Aleph's current
level will be produced. Otherwise the table gives you the target race
of the fusion. Next, calculate an average of the levels of the three demons
who went into the fusion. Next look at the alignments of the demons and
consult the table below:

Alignments | Modifier
---------------------------------
3 NEUTRAL Demons | -4
1 LIGHT + 2 NEUTRAL | 0
2 LIGHT + 1 NEUTRAL | +4
3 LIGHT Demons | +8

Add this modifier to the average of the levels calculated above to obtain
the target level. The result of the fusion is then the lowest-level demon
within the target race with level greater or equal to the target level.

----> 4. Fusion mechanics: Sword Fusion

There are certain swords in this game, which can be fused with each other
and with demons to produce new swords. They are the so-called 'fusion swords'.
Three of them, like most normal swords, are dropped by various demons
throughout the game:
「練気の剣」(Refined-Spirit Sword)
Dropped by: TENSHI Principality, YOUKI Turdak
「雷神剣」(Thunder-God Sword)
Dropped by: YOUMA Yaksha
「風神剣」(Wind-God Sword)
Dropped by: YOUMA Hanuman
The rest are obtainable only through the sword fusion (except for
Kongou-Shinkai, of course, which doesn't count.) Once you have any of the fusion
swords in your possession, there will be new fusion options in

These gemstones, once obtained, can be used in a number of ways. First, they
can be given to demons when the latter demand it during the negotiation
process.
Secondly, in the old Roppongi there is a special shop, called 'Rag's Shop',
where any single gemstone can be exchanged for an item and any pair of
gemstones can be exchanged for a SEIREI demon.
The tables detailing these exchanges are given below:
