==INTRODUCTION==

Growlanser IV: Return can be considered to be a sub-game for the Growlanser
series. Upon loading the game, the main title screen gives 5 options which
can be chosen:

->GROWLANSER IV: RETURN
->Foreboding
->SENSHI
->Cult Quiz
->Staff Credits

The first 3 options are the side stories which round up the unseen events
which happened before, during and after the main game of Growlanser IV:
Wayfarer of Time. The Cult Quiz is a section of a 100 questions for fans to
answer. The Staff Credits is simply the short credits roll listing the
personnel involved in the creation of the game.

This event guide is created to provide a little help to those who are
playing the game or to serve as a little reference to those who don't
intend to play the game but wishes to know briefly what the contents of
the game are about. Considering how it's becoming less and less likely for
the older Growlansers to get released in the US, I hope that together with
the great and informational Growlanser guides and translations written by
other FAQ writers here on Gamefaqs, this guide will help more people get the
correct facts regarding the events, timeline and connection between various
games of the series.

Even though this is a summarized event guide, please expect full spoilers. In
any case, it is for that purpose of letting the readers know what's going on
that I created this short guide. In situations where I deem the usage of
Japanese characters necessary, I will include them. Take note that the
events for the game is laid out in a flowchart manner.

==Growlanser IV: Return==                                              [RT01]

Picking Growlanser IV: Return at the main title screen brings you to the
title screen of this side story. This can be considered the main side story
on the entire disc because it shows the events which happened between
Crevaniel's disappearance and re-appearance at the end of GIV: Wayfarer of
Time. This is also the section which will solve the rumors regarding the
connection between Growlanser III and Growlanser IV.

--NEW GAME--

As mentioned earlier, this side-story allows you to use Crevaniel and see
things from his point of view. When you choose to start a new game, remember
to always save in between, especially when it comes to choosing options.
That is because it is easy to end up with a game over screen by one wrong
option. However, it is also through the options choosing that the story
splits in various paths, thus allowing you get the various scenario titles.
However, there is only ONE true route which will get you through to the end
of the story.

Before we carry on, please try and get used to some of the terms I'm gonna
use for the flowchart:

I)OPTIONS: where the game requires you to pick from a list of choices.

II)Paths 1A, B, C, D etc: Paths the various choices picked may bring you to.
Take note that I came up with these path references to enable the readers to
have an easier time going through the flowchart because there's a lot of
branching for the first sections. You'll have to make use of the CTRL+F to
search for the different paths, but I trust it should not be difficult.

III)Ending 1, 2, 3 etc: Endings the various choices picked may bring you to.

IV)In choices where no specific indications/explanations are listed, that
means it's fine to pick any choice since there won't be much significant
changes.

Now, you can save ANYTIME by pressing the TRIANGLE button and choose to save,
load or return to the main title screen. If everything's fine, let's begin.


PART 1: 精霊 (Spirits)
**********************

-->>Crevaniel pressed switch for magic dispersing device on Mount Izenbant
   and was sent off to a world filled with darkness.

OPTIONS: (1)Confirm the situation
        (2)See whether I am still alive
        (3)Think about what happened to magic

-->>A young woman appeared to him from amidst the vacuum space and told him
   they are in the past.

OPTIONS: (1)Did I traveled back to the past?
        (2)Did you come from the future?

-->>The woman told Crevaniel that they are in the Space-time Interval and
   that if he doesn't wish to die as yet, she can help him.

OPTIONS: (1)I wish to die
        (2)I don't wish to die

(1) gets you the Game over screen and the "Annihilated" scenario title.
(2) will let you continue the game.

-->>The woman sent Crevaniel away from the Space-time Interval and when he
   regained his senses, he found himself on a deserted plain. He looked up
   to the skies and saw an "angel" flying to the east.

OPTIONS: (1)Chase after him -->Brings you to PATH A
        (2)Turn his back to the sight -->Brings you to PATH B


                               ******
                              [PATH A]
                               ******
-->>Crevaniel chased after the angel for approximately 10 minutes but
   eventually lost sight of him. He looked around, spotted a
   village(Taoberia) nearby and decided to enter it.

OPTIONS: (1)Talk to a villager
           --The girl asked Crevaniel where he came from:
             (1)Marculey
             (2)A foreign country
             (3)Don't answer
        (2)Explore around the village
        (3)Go to the inn

-->>Inside the inn, Crevaniel asked for a room. The money he had with him was
   not acceptable and so he sold a magic gem for 100 Elm. The innkeeper told
   him that they refer the gem not as magic gem but as spirit gem. With
   that, Crevaniel got a room and during night time, he started thinking
   about something.

OPTIONS: (1)About the woman at the Space-Time Interval
           --How painful it is to spend infinity alone in the Interval:
             (1)It's none of my business anyway
             (2)If possible, I'd like to save her
             (3)If there's no way to save her, then that can't be helped
        (2)Where exactly is this world
        (3)What am I going to do from now on

-->>The next day, Crevaniel left the inn after affirming his location and the
   map of the world he's in. He attempted to leave the village but was held
   back. It was a young girl.

OPTIONS: (1)Who are you? -->Brings you to PATH 1A
        (2)Ignore her
           --The girl warned Crevaniel that if he's really out to destroy
             the world, she's going to kill him. Crevaniel couldn't
             understand what exactly was the girl talking about:
             (1)Listen to her -->Brings you to PATH 1A
             (2)Try it if you can -->You will have the girl(Monica) killing
                Crevaniel. You get the game over screen as well as the
                "Knife through the heart" scenario title.


                               *******
                              [PATH 1A]
                               *******
-->>The girl introduced herself as Monica and told Crevaniel that his
   existence in the world is creating the same distortional effect as
   Zion. She explained that the world returned back to normal after Zion
   was defeated, but the same distortion occurred again and that is due
   to Crevaniel coming to this world. She then asked for him to follow her
   to Port Delfini. Crevaniel agreed. Halfway through, Monica told him
   that she's a dark spirit messenger, and being interested in the wings
   look-alike object on her back, Crevaniel wanted to ask Monica about them.

OPTIONS: (1)Just ask directly
        (2)I guess...better not

-->>Monica told Crevaniel that the angels he mentioned are actually
   Featherians and that she's half-human, half featherian and that's why
   her wings cannot grow. They continued the journey and once again,
   Monica stopped. After some mumblings as if she was talking to someone
   else, she ran off. Crevaniel caught up with her and sensed a chilly
   existence. He saw Monica persuading "something" to go and wait until
   it's time to be reborn. At the same time, the chilling feeling which
   Crevaniel felt earlier was gone. Monica explained to Crevaniel that
   as a Dark spirit messenger, her main mission is to guide lost souls to
   return to the reincarnating cycle. She also introduced her special
   helper named Rummy, though Crevaniel could not see anything.
   With that the two finally made their way to Delfini and after entering
   the town, Monica told Crevaniel to follow her into the lighthouse and
   both took the Transgate to a place named Dark Mountain, where the Dark
   spirit messengers reside. After a long trip underground with Monica as
   the guide, both reached the desired destination. Monica led Crevaniel to
   meet with a man in black. She addressed him as "Dark Lord" and proceeded
   to kneel down.

OPTIONS: (1)Do the same as Monica and kneel down
        (2)Remain standing

-->>After some explanations, Crevaniel got to know that they intended to use
   the Space-Time Summoning Technique to send him back to where he came
   from. For that purpose, they need dark and wind spirit messengers as
   well as the Power Stone. Monica requested for Crevaniel to accompany her
   to gather the necessary items and the first place they traveled to was
   Biblostock. After meeting with the Lord named Granford who told Monica
   that the ground spirits told him that Huey has entered the empire around
   10 days ago, both left the mansion.

OPTIONS: (1)Who is Huey?
        (2)What is it about the Roland Kingdom?
        (3)What's the purpose in meeting the ruler of Biblostock?

-->>Wanting to get the Power Stone, Monica and Crevaniel needed to travel to
   Roland Kingdom. In order to reach the Roland Kingdom, they had to pass
   through the Regen tunnel. Upon entering, Monica mentioned something of
   "So this was what Slayn saw..." and after asking for some time, she
   began going around to persuade and guide souls to return to the
   underworld. After a while, she returned and told Crevaniel that she has
   already done all that she was able to.

OPTIONS: (1)Pat her head
        (2)Thank her for her hard work
        (3)Let's hurry on

-->>Both moved on but was soon stopped in their tracks when a wolf-like
   monster attacked them.

OPTIONS: (1)Fight back -->Brings you to PATH C
        (2)Leave to Monica
           --Monica managed to defeat it but monster
             reinforcements soon came:
             (1)Escape -->Refer to (ES) below
             (2)Join in the fight -->Brings you to PATH C
        (3)Escape -->Refer to (ES) below

(ES): Crevaniel made his escape without Monica but days passed and he was
unable to find a way out. Finally, fatigue overtook him and he collapsed and
died. You get the game over screen as well as the "Facing the end inside the
maze" scenario title.


                               ******
                              [PATH B]
                               ******
-->>Crevaniel ignored the angel and continued to walk around. He made his way
   through a forest, past a lake and saw a lone hut which showed no signs of
   anyone living there. He spent 10 days there. On the eleventh day, he got
   up and wondered what he was going to do next.

OPTIONS: (1)Fish at the nearby river -->Brings you to PATH 1B
        (2)Stay inside the hut and laze around -->Brings you ENDING 1
        (3)It's time to set off from here -->Brings you to PATH 2B


                               *******
                              [PATH 1B]
                               *******
-->>Crevaniel had some difficulties fishing up anything and as he continued
   to make attempts, he heard footsteps approaching. A young girl appeared
   before him and commented that the distortion he created is even worse
   than Zion's. Crevaniel didn't know what the girl was talking about.

OPTIONS: (1)Listen to her -->Brings you to PATH 1A
        (2)It's none of my business -->This will have the girl killing
           Crevaniel. You get the game over screen as well as the "Into the
           flowing stream" scenario title.


                               ********
                              [ENDING 1]
                               ********
-->>Crevaniel spent some time inside the hut and heard footsteps
   approaching. The young woman from back at the Space-Time Interval
   came looking for him. She introduced herself as "Gloria" and asked him
   to pack up and follow her because certain people called "Spirit
   Messengers" wanted to kill him. Crevaniel then decided to travel
   around the world with her by his side. With that, you get the first
   possible ending(which is of course, not the true ending). The game ends
   and you also get the "Living a traveling life" scenario title.


                               *******
                              [PATH 2B]
                               *******
-->>Crevaniel set off from the hut and exited the forest. He came to the
   checkpoint which the guard referred to as "Aggressival border" and was
   locked up because he could not produce a pass necessary for going
   through the checkpoint. Inside the interrogation room, Crevaniel got to
   know that the people refer to magic gems as spirit gems and the beings
   whom he thought to be angels were actually called "Featherians". It was
   then that he knew for certain that he had wounded up in a totally
   different world.
   After some time, an old general entered. Seeing Crevaniel, he mentioned
   something of how even though he didn't know much about spirit messengers,
   he knew that Crevaniel's continual existence will harm the world and
   that he's not going to let that happen. Crevaniel knew not what the man
   was talking about. Bringing out his ring weapon, the old man -who
   referred himself as General Gerhalt- was ready to attack.

OPTIONS: (1)Fight back
        (2)Don't move as yet
        (3)Escape

(1) gets Crevaniel fighting with General Gerhalt but was killed. You will
   see the game over screen and obtain the "The aged Commander" scenario
   title.
(2) gets Crevaniel killed by General Gerhalt. You will see the game over
   screen and obtain the "The aged Commander" scenario title.
(3) brings you to PATH 3B.


                               *******
                              [PATH 3B]
                               *******
-->>Crevaniel managed to escape and he made his way towards the south-east
direction. A man in green(Huey) approached him, called him a threat and
started chanting.

OPTIONS: (1)Defend
        (2)Defend and counter
        (3)Knowing that someone's gonna get hurt, attempt to slay the man

(1) gets Crevaniel trapped in a wind shield which he could not get out
   of. Soon he found himself running out of breath and everything blacked
   out. You get the game over screen as well as the "Wind Cell" scenario
   title.
(2) gets the same result as (1)
(3) will get you ENDING 2

                               ********
                              [ENDING 2]
                               ********
-->>After slaying the man, Crevaniel left the place. A few days later,
   a man(Orpheus) attacked him for the same reason as the previous one. The
   man was very strong but he managed to escape. After a while, he was
   attacked by another man(Vincent) again. Refusing to do nothing and let
   himself be killed, Crevaniel decided to pick up his sword and continue a
   life of fighting back whenever needed. With that you get the 2nd ending
   of the game as well as the "Carnage" scenario title.


                               ******
                              [PATH C]
                               ******
-->>After a long fight, the monsters were all dead. Crevaniel looked around
   but Monica was missing. He called out many times but there was no reply.

OPTIONS: (1)Immediately search for her
        (2)Wait for a while and if she still doesn't appear, then proceed
           to search for her
        (3)Leave her be and go my own way

(1) brings you to Path 1C
(2) will have Crevaniel waiting to no avail and he went to search for Monica.
   After some searching, he found Monica but she was seriously injured and
   died after a short while. You get the game over screen as well as the
   "Death of Monica" scenario title.
(3) will get you ENDING 3 which have Crevaniel going his own way and continue
   an unknown life alone in the unknown world. You will get the "Wandering
   towards the Darkness" scenario title.


                               *******
                              [PATH 1C]
                               *******
-->>After some searching, Crevaniel found Monica fighting against the woman
   he first met in the Space-Time Interval. Monica's attacks proved to be
   of no use against the woman and it was only at Crevaniel's appearance
   that the woman vanished without a trace. After some thanks and
   conversations regarding how the woman wanting to kill all who
   interrupt her plans, the two continued their way to Roland kingdom.
   The land was desolate and they found the Roland king at the wrecked
   mining town. After telling them that the Power Stone can be created by
   having around 100 magicians send magical energy into the Time Crystal,
   he gave them a small Time Crystal which was obtained from the mine to
   the north.
   After getting a message that Huey's waiting at Schwartzharze, Monica
   and Crevaniel proceeded to the town. Upon reaching the town, Monica
   sensed something weird and immediately rushed off to the northern part
   of the town. Crevaniel chased after her and spotted an injured man
   at the northern bridge. He told them that he was waiting for Monica when
   he sensed an aura which felt as though Slayn or Zion was approaching. He
   found it strange because the one who caused that dark distortional
   effect(waves) should be with Monica. It was then that an unknown woman
   materialized and assaulted him and against whom his attacks didn't work
   i.e: her existence seemed like an illusion. It was only when the woman
   sensed Crevaniel approaching that she retreated once again. After a
   short exchange of introductions with the man referring to himself as
   Huey, the group returned back to Dark Mountain.
   Back at Dark Mountain, the spirit messengers successfully created the
   Power Stone. After that, a commotion was heard. Crevaniel saw a woman
   whom the entrance guard referred to as a "moon spirit messenger". Upon
   seeing her, Monica and Huey walked over and asked what business she had
   at the Dark Mountain. The woman -named Barbara- said that she was sent
   to investigate the sudden re-surfacing of the dark waves like that of
   Zion's and that she's looking for someone named Gloria. Without a
   doubt, Crevaniel is the cause of the dark distortion effect. However,
   what the group was more interested about was Gloria. Barbara then
   explained to them that Gloria is a woman who had contact with Zion. She
   appeared and disappeared without a trace and was often called "the woman
   with no existence" or "the woman who's not in this world". With Zion
   dead, she must be using Crevaniel to carry out her secret plans.
   Amidst much ponders, the woman appeared again. She was the Gloria
   whom Barbara was talking about.
   Without any delay, they decided to begin the ritual to send Crevaniel
   back to where he came from. Huey, Monica and Barbara began chanting to
   fight against Gloria to buy some time for the ritual to be completed.

OPTIONS: (1)Walk over to where the Power Stone is -->Refer to [PS] below
        (2)Try to fight against Gloria -->Brings you to ENDING 4

[PS]: Crevaniel stayed beside the Power Stone. The attacks against Gloria
     by the spirit messengers did not work at all. Gloria started moving
     towards Huey, the latter not noticing it because he was concentrating
     on his chants. Crevaniel tried to rush up to stop her but was too late.
     With that, Huey disappeared and everything ended as a failure. You get
     the game over screen and the "Unable to return" scenario title.


                               ********
                              [ENDING 4]
                               ********
-->>Crevaniel rushed up to Gloria. As according to his presumption, he was
   able to reach Gloria. He took hold of her and being stopped in her
   assaults, Gloria was shocked but soon tears fell down from her eyes. She
   told Crevaniel that she no longer wants to remain forever in the Space-
   Time Interval. Zion told her he would save her and with him dead, her
   only hope is gone. Crevaniel refused to give in and comforted her that
   that he will return back with her. Words were heard from the moon
   spirit messenger telling Crevaniel to focus all his thoughts on the place
   he wishes to return back to. Marculey was what came to his mind. With
   that, both Crevaniel and Gloria were sent away and the ritual was done.

You'll get the "Space-Time travel" scenario title and Part 2 of the side-
story will open up.



Part 2: 時空 (Space-Time)
*************************

-->>As Crevaniel was sent away from that previous world with Gloria in his
   arms, he felt a strong surge of memories from the woman's past.
   Experiments were carried out on Gloria by orders from Venzern. A huge
   white man-made being which they named as "Gevel" was placed inside her
   body. The experiment was called the "Merging experiment". Even as
   Gloria was unwilling to do it, she had to obey the orders of the
   Venzern, who was the ruler of the Growsians. She recalled how the
   man was not so before, but changed when he was merged with a being
   named Gevas. After testing out the reactions produced by Gevel which
   was placed within Gloria, they proceeded on to the next step by asking
   Gloria to gather Growshu. Even though Gloria was a part eclipse Growsian
   unlike total solar eclipse Growsians such as Venzern and Arieta, the
   experiment proved to be a success because the main goal of obtaining the
   power over Space-Time travel was achieved. Nevertheless, an accident
   happened and when she regained her senses, she found herself trapped
   within the small vacuum called the Space-Time Interval and unable to get
   out no matter how much she tried.

   After a long time of searching, she finally found someone in the long
   past, one who exuded the distortion possible for her to exist in the
   world so long as she was within the distortion range. That person was
   Zion, a man who was lonely even though he had a lot of subordinates. Time
   passed and soon the two became lovers. However the time together was not
   long before Zion was killed. She wanted to take revenge on those who
   killed him but without Zion, she's the same as being non-existent. It
   was then that she saw a man inside the Space-Time Interval: Crevaniel.

   When Crevaniel woke up, he found himself with Gloria on the shore near a
   sea. The place was Marculey, however it felt a little different. Gloria
   told him that from where he originally came from, it is the Marculey of
   200 years ago. Being not from that world, Gloria was in the danger of
   being sucked back to the Space-Time Interval unless she could find a
   being in that world to merge with. Crevaniel offered his body but Gloria
   jumped into the sea instead. She picked one of the fish and using Gevel's
   ability to infuse other living creatures, she "merged" with the fish and
   her form was like that of a mermaid. Sensing the possibility to send
   Crevaniel back to his time becoming lesser and lesser, she told
   Crevaniel to remember Gloria Melkyus before doing so.

With that, you'll get the "Melkyus" scenario title and open up the last
section to this side story.



Part 3: 帰還 (Return)
*********************

-->>Screen shows the Space-Time Interval again. Back then, Gloria told
   Crevaniel to recall back his past and concentrate his thoughts on a
   person close to him.

OPTIONS: (1)Best friend:
           (I)Rems -->You'll get the event ending with Rems as well as the
                      "Rems Ver." scenario title
          (II)Hien -->You'll get the event ending with Hien as well as the
                      "Hien Ver." scenario title
         (III)Vallery -->You'll get the event ending with Vallery as well as
                         the "Vallery Ver." scenario title
        (2)Beloved lady:
           (I)Frane -->You'll get the event ending with Frane as well as the
                       "Frane Ver." scenario title

Once you've finished the entire thing, you can go to the Appendix and view
the CG and scenario titles you've obtained. Remember that each time you get
a new scenario title(game over or not), the game will prompt you to save.
Just always save. It's a system data which is totally separate from the ones
you save while you are going through the side-story. The Appendix reflects
your collection from the system data. If you've gone through every path and
ending in the flowchart, all the empty slots and spaces for your CG and
scenario titles should be filled.

==Foreboding==                                                         [FB01]

Foreboding's title screen have the NEW GAME and LOAD GAME option. This is
a very short side-story with you playing as Silvernale and seeing happenings
from her point of view. There are only two endings to this side-story, one is
the correct ending and the other is the bad ending which will bring out the
familiar game over screen. Options you picked throughout the side-story will
affect which ending you'll proceed towards. For clarity's sake, all scenes
with "A" will lead you to correct ending, and all choices linked to PATH B
will give you the game over ending.

One more thing: you can save anytime by pressing the TRIANGLE button.


--New game--

-->>Class was over. Silvernale looked down from the classroom and saw the
   males training. Her best friend Elice came up to her and teased her for
   watching the Ordineil guy.

OPTIONS: (1)Shut her up
        (2)Let her continue

-->>Elice commented on how the girls have been eyeing the Ordineil twins and
   that with them being always at the top in the academy, the two seem
   almost too perfect. After more nagging, she left.

OPTIONS: (1)Return back to the dorm -->Brings you to SCENE B
        (2)Continue to look for a while more -->Brings you to SCENE A


                               *******
                              [SCENE A]
                               *******
-->>Silvernale stayed at the spot for a short while more and she spotted
   Crestfer putting on a trouble expression.

OPTIONS: (1)I must have seen wrongly -->SCENE 1B
        (2)I couldn't have seen wrongly -->SCENE 1A


                               ********
                              [SCENE 1A]
                               ********
-->Silvernale wondered why the man had such a bizarre expression but not
  being able to do anything, she returned back to the dorm and retired for
  the day. Next morning, she woke up earlier than expected.

OPTIONS: (1)Try to sleep in until it's time -->SCENE 2B
        (2)Get up for a short walk -->SCENE 2A


                               ********
                              [SCENE 2A]
                               ********
-->>Silvernale took her usual walk through the soothing morning forest. She
   then heard the sounds of sword training and traced them to a man. At
   first glance, she thought it was the younger brother. It was only when
   the man approached her that she realized it was Crestfer and the two had
   a short and rather unfriendly conversation.

   Screen then changed back to the classroom. The students were given a
   short holiday for the next day and Elice approached Silvernale to ask
   her out.

OPTIONS: (1)Refuse -->Immediately gives you a game over because the reply
                     ruined the friendship between the two girls and Elice
                     never talked to Silvernale anymore.
        (2)Acknowledge -->SCENE 3A


                               ********
                              [SCENE 3A]
                               ********
-->>Next day, Elice brought Silvernale to a cafe. Elice asked Silvernale
   what happened to Crestfer with Silvernale spewing a mouthful of drink
   out. Elice explained that a few moments after she saw Silvernale leaving
   the forest, Crestfer came out of the forest as well. Silvernale replied
   that it was just a coincidence that she met him and she intended to take
   a different route the next time. Elice continued to tease her and it was
   only at the appearance of a man that she stopped. Alphonce approached
   them and gave some greetings. Elice invited him to join in but he
   declined because he was going to meet with someone else.

OPTIONS: (1)With your brother? -->SCENE 4A
        (2)With the officer candidates? -->SCENE 4A
        (3)Remain silent -->SCENE 3B


                               ********
                              [SCENE 4A]
                               ********
-->>Alphonce replied that he's meeting with the Ordineil butler. Not knowing
   what it was about, Silvernale probed further. Alphonce explained that
   Crestfer went back to the mansion a short while ago and that their
   father(the current Lord of Ordineil) has not been in good health and they
   intend to discuss various matters including who's going to take over
   Lord Ordineil's position. With that, Alphonce excused himself.

   The next day, Silvernale was given orders to clear up documents in the
   meeting room. She entered and saw someone still in the room. It was a man
   in red. It took only one glance to know that the man was Munzer.B, the
   only Royal Guard in Valcaneer. Munzer asked for her name and Silvernale
   replied accordingly. Munzer requested for Silvernale to tell him from
   whom did she learn her sword skills.

OPTIONS: (1)Tell him frankly -->SCENE 5A
        (2)Don't tell him -->SCENE 4B


                               ********
                              [SCENE 5A]
                               ********
-->>Silvernale told Munzer that she learnt how to wield a sword from her
   mother and that the doujou(dojo) was taken over by her mother's younger
   brother named Hien. Munzer smiled and said that it's no wonder he found
   her sword techniques familiar. He then asked Silvernale what will she
   do if he were to pull out his sword then and attempt to slay her.

OPTIONS: (1)Fight back -->SCENE 6A
        (2)Be killed -->SCENE 5B


                               ********
                              [SCENE 6A]
                               ********
-->>Munzer told Silvernale that a Royal Guard acts according to the orders
   of the king and that the Royal Guard's sword is the king's sword.
   Silvernale answered that she will not allow herself to be killed without
   a proper reason. Munzer asked her what if she could not agree with an
   order from the king to kill someone. Silvernale replied that she will
   try to change the king's mind. With that, Munzer got up, apologized for
   dragging her into an idle talk and left.

   Later at the hallway, Silvernale was called back. The voice surprised
   her and she turned back anxiously only to realize that it was not the
   person she had hope for him to be. Alphonce came up and gave her a
   letter. Silvernale refused to accept it unless she knew who the letter
   came from. Alphonce politely told her not to worry because the letter's
   from an army officer. Silvernale apologized for her reaction and
   Alphonce replied that it must have been very common for a lady such as
   Silvernale to receive many love letters and so the mistake was
   understandable. He then proceeded to walk away. Silvernale called out to
   him, wondering whether she should ask him about Crestfer. In the end
   though, she did not and merely thanked him and Alphonce left.

   Back at the dorm, Silvernale opened the letter and got to know that she
   has been picked as a possible candidate to become a Royal Guard.
   Considering how even she was picked, she presumed that it was without
   a doubt that the Ordineil twins must have been chosen as well. Since the
   letter told her to enter the caste without telling anyone about the
   matter, she did as instructed.

   At the throne room, Silvernale met Munzer who expressed that her reply
   about fighting back was rare and that it was the correct answer and that
   he expects her to be one of the few ones to remain till the end of the
   exam to becoming a Royal Guard. With that, Silvernale cut off her long
   hair and placed all her focus on the exam. Finally, it came to the
   intellect test.

OPTIONS: **Take note that all answers for this section must be correct, or
          else Silvernale will fail the test and it'll be a game over.

-->>Silvernale passed the intellect test and up next was the final test
   which was to strike an ancient metal. Only one chance was given and
   Silvernale succeeded. With that, she was given the title of Royal Guard.

   Back at the academy, Elice congratulated Silvernale on her success with
   the latter wondering how many others made the mark. Elice told her that
   apart from her, only one more candidate was chosen as a Royal Guard.
   Silvernale was greatly shocked when she heard the the candidate was
   Alphonce and not Crestfer because it was greatly known that Crestfer has
   always been the more outstanding one. Elice told her that Alphonce has
   also been given the position as the next Lord of Ordineil instead of
   Crestfer. After hearing that Crestfer was quitting the academy, she
   rushed to his dorm. Upon seeing him, Silvernale began to cry. After
   comforting her in the forest, Crestfer left without any explanations.


                               *******
                              [SCENE B]
                               *******
-->Back at the dorm, Silvernale recalled frustratingly on how a group of
  three girls challenged her at the hallway. Even though they used their
  ring weapons, Silvernale still managed to defeat them easily. Annoyed,
  Silvernale retired for the day. Next morning, she woke up earlier than
  expected.

        (2)Get up for a short walk -->SCENE 1B

==SENSHI==                                                             [SS01]

SENSHI is the another short side-story. You'll play it using Bower and see
happenings from his point of view. The reason for using the romaji word
"SENSHI" is most likely because the titles of the 5 parts of the side-story
involve different words but are all pronounced as "senshi". You'll get what I
mean when you look through the guide below. As with the other 2 side-stories,
you can save anytime in between by pressing the TRIANGLE button.


--New game--

Part 1: 戦士 (Warriors)
***********************

-->>After sending Rems and Crevaniel off from the Fandelsia mansion, Bower
   had a short conversation with Roomise. Bower mentioned that apart from
   fighting as mercenaries because they are being hired to do so, he will
   do a special service for Roomise.

OPTIONS: (1)Risk his life to protect Roomise
        (2)Help keep Roomise's secret continue to be a secret
        (3)Help Roomise return to his life as a researcher

-->>The two arrived at the field where the Igredias and Dulkheim armies
   were fighting at. The assaults from the angel have caused more than
   half of the Dulkheim soldiers dead. In order to escape, some soldiers
   ran off to the nearby village,and thus there were civilian casualties as
   well. Roomise expressed much sadness at how only a young child in the
   village survived and was brought to Solcorina.

OPTIONS: (1)Comfort him that it's not his fault
        (2)Let's stop this tragic war
        (3)This is war


Part 2: 戦史 (War records)
**************************

-->>Roomise recovered somewhat and he ordered his troops to make for Liozrock
   Fortress. Near the enemy's base, Roomise explained his strategy plan. The
   idea was to have Bower bring 10 men to deliberately approach the base
   such that the enemy could spot them. Due to the big difference in the
   numbers, the enemy will chase after Bower's group. Bower must then lure
   the enemy to the cliff where Roomise's group of approximately 40 soldiers
   stand in for ambushing the enemy. After defeating the enemies, they will
   have some soldiers disguise themselves and mix into the base by
   pretending that they have caught Bower's group. When the attack is
   launched, they will be able to attack from both in and out, thus
   reducing the casualties. After the explanation, Roomise asked Bower
   whether he understood what the plan was about.

OPTIONS: (1)Yes
        (2)No

-->>After affirmations, the group began operations and Bower moved on to
   commence his part in the plan.

OPTIONS: (1)Deliberately let the enemy spot us -->EVENT A
        (2)Sneak near the enemy base -->EVENT B


                               *******
                              [EVENT A]
                               *******
-->>Bower moved towards the base and the enemy immediately spotted his group.

OPTIONS: (1)Lure them down to near the cliff -->EVENT 1A
        (2)Lure them down to the snowfield -->EVENT 2B


                               ********
                              [EVENT 1A]
                               ********
-->>Bower lured the enemy to near the cliff. Roomise's group ambushed the
   enemy and managed to disguise some of their men as Igredias soldiers.
   The Igredias commander gave an order to send the captured Bower and his
   men to Fandelsia. The command came as a surprise because that was not
   according to the Roomise's plan and Perick(the vice-commander for
   Roomise's troops) tried to probe and persuade the Igredias commander
   with the latter starting to suspect Perick's identity. Fortunately,
   Bower managed to resolve the situation by aggravating the commander with
   some insults to draw his attention away from the suspicions. Just then,
   a messenger appeared and informed the commander that Dulkheim troops
   are attacking them and Perick took advantage of the news to knock down
   the commander. With that, they continued their plan to infiltrate
   Liozrock.

   After a long fight, Roomise and Bower managed to bring down the Liozrock
   Fortress.


The game then proceeds to Part 3.


                               *******
                              [EVENT B]
                               *******
-->>Bower moved towards the base stealthily but the enemy immediately
   spotted his group. The messenger attempted to inform the base about
   the attackers.

OPTIONS: (1)Chase after the messenger -->EVENT 1B
        (2)Orders a full retreat -->Bower was injured during the escape and
                                   died. You get the game over screen


                               ********
                              [EVENT 1B]
                               ********
-->>Bower managed to kill the messenger but was injured from a back attack
   by the enemy. Roomise came to his rescue in time and due to his injury,
   Bower did not take part in the battle to take down Liozrock Fortress.

The game then proceeds to Part 3.


                               ********
                              [EVENT 2B]
                               ********
-->>Upon reaching the snowfield, Bower realized that he got the wrong place
   and that Roomise's group was not lying in ambush there. With the enemies
   surrounding him and his men, Bower decided to react.

OPTIONS: (1)Fight back -->EVENT 3B
        (2)Surrender -->Igredias capture Bower's group and they were
                        sentenced to death. Game over.


                               ********
                              [EVENT 3B]
                               ********
-->>Bower ordered his men to fight back and just then Roomise appeared with
   his soldiers to save Bower. Even though Bower made a mistake, they
   still managed to reverse it and disguise some of their men as Igredias
   soldiers. The Igredias commander gave an order to send the captured
   Bower and his men to Fandelsia. The command came as a surprise because
   that was not according to the Roomise's plan and Perick(the
   vice-commander for Roomise's troops) tried to probe and persuade the
   Igredias commander with the latter starting to suspect Perick's
   identity. Fortunately, Bower managed to resolve the situation by
   aggravating the commander with some insults to draw his attention away
   from the suspicions. Just then, a messenger appeared and informed the
   commander that Dulkheim troops are attacking them and Perick took
   advantage of the news to knock down the commander. With that, they
   continued their plan to infiltrate Liozrock.

   After a long fight, Roomise and Bower managed to bring down the Liozrock
   Fortress.

The game proceeds to Part 3.


Part 3: 戦死 (Death in war)
***************************

-->>After capturing Liozrock, an order came from Rudvich requesting for
   Roomise to return and lead the troops against Valcaneer instead. Roomise
   and Bower gathered their men to return to Dulkheim. Halfway through the
   journey, they stopped at Solcorina for the night. After an cheery session
   of eating and drinking, Bower saw Roomise missing and went to search for
   him. He managed to locate Roomise and after a short conversation about
   how the latter was visiting the orphanage, a scream was heard from the
   town's entrance. A guard came reporting that the attacks were started by
   Death Wings mercenary group. Bower was shocked to see the Death Wings
   leader still alive and it was only after some talk during the fight
   that he got to know that the armor for the Death Wings leader was passed
   on from one to the next.

   A tedious fight with Roomise returning saw the Death Wings retreating.
   Nevertheless, it did not take too long before things happened again.
   Roomise's troops were being attacked and urgently required reinforcement
   from Bower, but the enemy was also attacking Solcorina.

OPTIONS: (1)Save Roomise -->Civillian casualties
        (2)Save the villagers -->Casualties on Roomise's side

-->>After repelling the attacks, Roomise and Bower finally made their way
   back to Rudvich at Dulkheim. Despite the casualties in the battles at
   Solcorina, Rudvich did not pursue the matter and praised them instead.
   Roomise was troubled over that and asked Bower what could be the reason.

OPTIONS: (1)Didn't want to hurt our pride and morale
        (2)He thinks highly of Roomise
        (3)He understands what we are going through

-->>Roomise told Bower that Rudvich's a man who cared more for his own
   personal gains than about others and that he probably found Roomise
   and Bower still useful, that was why he did not blame them for what
   happened at Solcorina. Despite so, both decided not to harp on the
   matter.


Part 4: 千思 (A thousand thoughts)
**********************************

-->>Leaving the battle with Valcaneer to Roomise, Rudvich left for the war
   with Igredias after Drangus died. A report soon came to Roomise that
   Rudvich was successful in defeating Igredias. However, Roomise was more
   concerned about the death of the group of summoners Rudvich brought with
   him to Igredias.

OPTIONS: (1)He used the summoners as a decoy
        (2)He killed the summoners
        (3)He ordered for only the summoners to fight in the battles

-->>After Bower's guess, Roomise explained that Rudvich gave a special
   mission to the summoners. It was to infiltrate into the enemy's base and
   use summoning. It was doubtless that the act was for the sake of luring
   the angels and making use of the angels' attacks to annihilate the
   Igredias armies. That greatly reduced the time needed to fight the war
   and made it possible for Rudvich to return back to Dulkheim in time for
   the Presidential Elections. Roomise was greatly troubled by Rudvich
   and asked Bower what should he do.

OPTIONS: (1)Reject all of Rudvich's unreasonable requests
        (2)Ask him what exactly does he want to achieve
        (3)We are mercenaries and only follow orders -->This gets you
           game over because the two couldn't come up with anything

-->>Bower told Roomise that the only way out of that was for Roomise to
   remove Rudvich and for him to lead Igredias instead. Roomise doubted
   himself but was assured by Bower that whatever Rudvich can achieve, he's
   capable of doing the same as well. With that, both knew what they wished
   to work towards.


Part 5: 戦志 (Resolution for war)
*********************************

-->>At Fort Izenbant, reports came of how Crevaniel's group is approaching.
   Before taking the enemy on, Roomise asked for Bower to accompany him to
   talk to Rudvich. Roomise asked Rudvich what kind of country the latter
   intended to mould Dulkheim into. Roomise told Rudvich that he may
   become an enemy depending on his reply. Rudvich told Roomise that he
   wishes to create a country where no one will be hurt and where everyone
   can live safe and peaceful lives. Upon hearing that, Roomise and Bower
   excused themselves without giving an answer as to whether they may
   become Rudvich's enemies or not. Seeing that he could no longer make use
   of Roomise and Bower for long, Rudvich asked Kergil to act when the need
   should arise. Back on the 1st level, Roomise told Bower that he's going
   to think about what to do with Rudvich but not before they defeat the
   Marculey enemies. Another report came saying of Crevaniel's group
   reaching the fort and with non-wavering resolve, both proceeded to engage
   the enemy.

After you have gotten every question correct, you get a present on the title
screen. It's really not a present because it only shows a very short "clip"
on the publication dates of the first four games as well as a VERY VERY VERY
UNIMPRESSIVE preview to Growlanser V and two images of its protagonist
Zeonsilt <.<

=============================================================================

==Q&A==

As usual, Q&A section again. Feel free to drop me any mail regarding the
game itself.

Q: Do I need to play other games to be able to enjoy this game?
A: Actually...yes, especially Growlanser IV: Wayfarer of the Time. As for
  Growlanser 1-3, it's not that big a deal but you'll be able to understand
  many small details if you've played them before.

Q: Who exactly is Melkyus?
A: In the main game of Wayfarer of Time, remember the statue of the mermaid
  at Marcuria? Also, the one who wrote the book predicting the future of
  how the Marcuria twins will perish? She's Melkyus.

Q: I can't pick the Familiar LM version of the ending.
A: You need to load the Growlanser IV: Wayfarer of the time save data which
  has your Growlanser III clear data loaded IN IT. There's no other way
  around this...sadly.

Q: Are you sure you have listed each and every possible main event for the
  side-stories in this guide?
A: Yeah, somehow. Reason for that is I don't have a Japanese Growlanser III
  clear data and thus I cannot get LM's ending. I don't think it will affect
  the interaction with Monica and Rummy but I won't say for sure. Apart from
  that though, everything's OK.

Q: I can't get all 100 question of the cult quiz correct!!!
A: Well, even though I've played all of the Growlanser games that's out until
  now, I can't even get more than half of them correct on my first few
  tries because some involve questions only known in optional events. It
  was through a lot of recalling, reference and trial and error sessions
  that I finally managed to. In any case, just pick the ones listed in this
  guide, you'll get it.

Q: Why are some of the names for Growlanser II and III different?
A: That's because I base or romanize most of them off from the Japanese
  versions. So if the II and III you've played are the US versions, you will
  see some differences, but I believe they are easily recognizable.

Q: Please translate the entire game script.
A: Instead of replying paragraphs on why I don't want to each time I receive
  such requests, I'll answer them here once and for all. Translating the
  entire script is not as easy as just translating. You need to take down
  each and every sentence if you do not know how to extract the text dump.
  Even if you managed to get the dump(which I can't), translating such
  large amounts of text require a lot of work and time. To be frank, I
  don't have that much time or energy to do the entire thing. Lastly,
  I'm an extremely weird person in the sense that I cannot put aside
  something I've done halfway through and return back to do it after taking
  a few weeks/months break. That's why I won't attempt to do any
  translations/faqs unless I'm confident I can afford the time to do the
  main thing from start to end within a specific time period. I apologize,
  but that's just my style.
