(I took Ayne's arts list from from an arts faq, because I hardly used him)
Mystic Arts... can't you people read other FAQs? Fine...
Probably my last update. Nothing important left to add.
I am not adding any more efficient combo ideas...
those were examples for people to try, not a FAQ feature section.
And I'm not adding any more nicknames, there are in-depth faqs for that.
NO MORE EMAILS, PLEASE.
My save games were deleted by a bug in a demo disk, and I haven't played
the game in years. I WILL NOT RESPOND TO EMAILS.
-----------------
Note: I'm a perfectionist when I play RPGs, and I like to obliterate games
without using Gamesharks or other cheats. I don't even own a gameshark, and
I do not intend to add a Gameshark code section.
I'm just mentioning this so I don't get emails containing codes and stuff.
Also note: I do not intend to put every scrap of information in from people who
want to contribute to this FAQ, I just thought the game needed a SPOILER-FREE
version of a walk-through. I may or may not get around to updating the extra
lists and stuff that other FAQs are certain to go into great detail about.

I'm attempting to write this without spoilers, so you can enjoy the story and
still plan ahead based on what you'll be finding and fighting.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Area Name/description
Items found
Monsters found
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Directions/stuff
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wilderness Town: Nohl
Items found:
Heal Powder (Drawer: 1st house)
Poison Cure (Drawer: 1st house)
Point Card (Drawer: 1st house)
Heal Powder (chest: First House upstairs)
Heal Powder (Outside behind right side of gate)
Poison Cure (chest: Item Shop)
Pedometer (enter shop dialog and quit)
Egg (Hen on top of a house)
Heal Leaf (in flowers by garden on the middle tier)
Before you leave town: Heal Powder and Poison Cure from Nancy
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 options:
> Stay in bed (I don't know the effect of any of these choices)
Leap out of bed in a panic
Wake up normally
View city from balcony in house. (you can see the hidden chest by the gate)
Items found:
1st area
Flag of Retreat (chest: first northeast branch)
2nd area
Heal Powder (chest: top path, southwest grove)
Heal Powder (chest: bottom path, top of curve)
3rd Area
Heal Powder (chest: left of path)
Leaf of Stamina (chest: right of path)
Monsters found:
Klaw Ant
Bloody Wolf
Flytrap
BOSS - Gather Crab
(after returning later - Lyps (rarely) and all Klaw Ants are gone.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You should try to reach level 5. By this point, only buying equipment, not
healing items, you should have the Broad Sword, Leather Chest, Studded Knuckles
Normal Shoes, Vigor Charm, and Leather Helm. (and enough WT to equip them all)
You could keep going for more, but this is good. (you should pick up a poison
charm too)
Easy path to follow through this area.
Wipe out the 3 Klaw Ant groups in the north, then the 5 in the south.
Go back and buy everything NOW. You loose the help of Galvan in the next area.
While it is tempting to use the "Leaf of Stamina" now, I strongly suggest you
wait until the end of the game, when you can combine it into a Fruit of
Stamina. You'll get a few more points out of it. But, at this point in the
game, you might benefit more from the increase now; it's up to you, of course.
3rd Area - Galvan leaves party.
Save Point.
BOSS - Gather Crab
damage:
637 (approx) - Cut off arms.
217 (approx) - Cut off arms.
Uses Venom on you.
201
201 (had to heal, got poisoned this round, didn't matter)
145 - dead
About 7 Mountain Crushers will do it, if you've got everything listed above.
SPOILS:
Heal Powder, Flag of Retreat, Heal Leaf x2, Maspergu Tube
Auto-return to town.
After event, return to forest, 3rd Area.
Events...
Get Hammer Blade
Get Wind Talisman
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gale Canyon

Pickpocket Charm
Scroll of Identity (chest: under arch, upper level)

Rock Golem
Vulture (poison)
Baki
Lyps
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Event
Go straight, up the hill to get the chest under the arch, then far left path
to next chest, then up and to the right, then up the ramp. Curve down, and
around to a chest with Heal Powder, then back up. Run all the way up, then
up the cliff. Back down, and around to the left, and you'll see a Lyps. It
runs away (or did in my case) jump the chasm and run far right, past the
massive updraft, and up to a save point.
LEVEL UP (level 9) until you have 4 ARTS BLOCKS.
BRING LOTS OF HEAL POWDER

DYNAMITE HIP (moderate damage 130)

1940gp
STEAL: Leaf of Vigor
Heal Leaf
Friendship Ring (return here later, and leave the ring on Elfin's grave)
EVENT
BOSS FIGHT
They expect you to lose and still continue the story.
(I HATE boss battles like this, might as well be a cinema sequence)
You CAN hurt them. Red Whirlwind did great on the little one.

2x Leaf of Stamina (in drawer, left side)
4 Heal Leafs (in drawer, right side)

Heal Leaf (in bell tower)
Exit cell, save on the right, then head downstairs to the first chest you see.
It has all your stuff in it.
Back upstairs, prepare for fights. Grab treasure chests along the way.
Avoid the guards in the hedge maze and grab a few items.
Enter the far west room in the central building to get the Doplin Lunch.
Pull Lever.
Save.
Run toward exit...
BOSS - Mighty Balkan
Don't know the difference if you accept the challenge or not, but I didn't.
He's got about 2000hp.
Steal - Attack Oil
2500xp
Doplin's Cloak
2500gp
Get the heal leaf in the Bell Tower.
Jump across the homes until you see all the cats... go into the window.
(You'll get that chest behind the shacks later)

Wet Gloves (junk pile)
Incredible Grab Bags - occasionally, talking to the junk shop owner, you can
buy these for 20,000gp each.
These contained the most Stat Bonus items out of the bags you can buy.
Super-Incredible Grab Bags - 200,000gp each
These include some of the best restorative items in the game, a few blessings,
but only bought 1. They may contain more Leafs and Fruits of stat increases.
Might want to Save at the Inn, and only keep purchases that include fruits.
AFTER Mt.GABLE
Emblem of Nobility (junk pile)
Heaven's Path (chest: upstairs inn, behind broken door)
Cooking Today (talk to cook)
Courageous Heart (chest: Upstairs Noble's Inn)
AFTER SEWERS
Blood-sucker Mask (junk pile)
AFTER Mt.Gable2
Wet Gloves (junk pile)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buy the Doplin Coin for 40,000 from the accessory shop, and you can sell it
later, in Tanza for 60,000.
You can get access to the upstairs room of the inn after Mt. Gabel appears on
the map.
At this point, I suggest working on Accessories, since you have 2 characters.
You can make a Power Jewel with "High Power" right now, which will make it much
easier to fight stone beasts and stuff in Mt. Gabel.
You might want to wait until the Mt. Gabel shop opens up first though (very
very soon) Less combinations neccessary.
Cool Jewel + Chance Jewel = Power Jewel
High Power, Item Thief, Blind and Paralysis Guard
Monsters found:
Stone Beast
Flower Power
Baki Warrior
(Lyps, but it runs, unless you get First Strike)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Un-equip any accessories from Maya (when you wake up), and then save.
EVENT
MiniBOSS: Galduke
Character Leaves Your Team (temporarily)
Go up the mountain (or at least enter, then return and take a nap)
Simple path, head up to the save point.
It's a good idea to get your 5th ARTS BLOCK before going too far here.
(Level 15)
Battleflash or Moonflower should take out Stone beasts in 1 round.
Use the Save Point before entering the summit cave.

Steal Armor Charm (before you use Flaming fist)

Then back down the mountain.

Heaven's Path (chest: upstairs inn, behind broken door)
Cooking Today (the cook) Remeber to read it after getting each new character.
Courageous Heart (chest: Upstairs Noble's Inn)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have the opportunity now to make a Wisdom Bangle for Maya, so she can
actually be useful in battle. Her "special ability" is healing the whole team
each time she defends, with this defensive skill. To make this:
Buy
1 Eagle Ring
2 Poison Rings
2 Black Rings
Eagle Ring + Guard Ring = Wisdom Bangle (with Special Ability)
Handmaiden's Ring + Poison Ring = Guard Ring
Black Ring + Rot Ring = Handmaiden's Ring
Black Ring + Poison Ring = Rot Ring
If you think Int Boost 1 and Anti-fear are worth it, MAX out the Eagle and
Guard Rings before combining them. 100 rounds of battle.
Also get a Barricade ring for Maya, as she'll get Turtle, which makes her very
safe, constantly healing you without taking much damage.
Armor Charm + Jab Charm = Feeble Jewel
Feeble Jewel has Skill EXP, which makes it faster to levelup other accessories.
However, it cuts defense.
In Nohl, Lang can learn to cook "Rice Ball" , if he helps Nancy cook.

Get the Emblem of Nobility (junk pile), and then enter the hotel in the rich
section of town. Enter the first room on the first floor to find the entrance
to the sewers.
From the first sewer entrance, head south, then east across the bridge to the
second screen. Go through the empty sewer floor south, and get the chest, and
enter the room for the red gate key - break the east wall for 2 chests.
Go back to the other area, open the locked door and then go south and break
through the crates with Galea and enter the room with the key. Pull the lever.

Side trip. Before continuing with the story, I stopped here.
My recommendation here, is to go into the "Free Fight" and fight up as far as
you can in the matches, then "pass", and collect enough coins to purchase the
Arts Books for Kazan and Sharon, and if you like cooking, the cook book.
Get 1 Gremlin Badge(140) and 2 Holy Badges (280 coins)
Combine Gremlin and Holy for an Extract Badge.
This will give you NO ENCOUNTERS.
And the Holy Badge will give you Item Grabber.
If you want the Tireless Ribbon, get the Master and Kamikaze ribbons from the
Casino shop, and then prepare for a few hours of defending to build up the
250 exp for each accessory to combine them (need healing, and winged, and
sagely, and muscle ribbons, lots of 250xp needed. 7 Master, 4 Kamikaze)
Once you can easily wipe out the Free Fight, you can get tons of coins here,
and possibly get Tireless Ribbons as a prize for winning all 8 battles.
*****
Auction
*****
Obviously you won't get stuff for the same price all the time, so a list isn't
very useful. Perhaps a list of what you can get would be, however. But, since
we're trying to get through the game fast, come back here at your leisure or
find a more in-depth FAQ.
In the only auction I attended, I picked up:
Inscribed Sword (furniture) for 21,200gp
and Leaf of Mysticism for 6,000gp (probably could have gone lower)
Angel's Miracle -
Obtain picture in guild quest for under 50,000 (4,700 funds left in mine)
This is possible... I bid the same increment as the one previous to my turn.
Example: 21,500, 21,800... my turn... I bid 22,100
This generally kept the price low.
*****
Championship Tournament
*****
(can't participate until the story makes you fight here)
Must win all 8 matches to receive Coins.
*****
Gambling Arena
*****
Random bonuses or detriments to battle condtions. 8 Fights.
Must win all 8 matches to receive Coins.
*****
Battle Maniax
*****
Special conditions to win each match. 8 Fights.
Can "pass" (where run would be) to quit and receive coins won thus far.
*****
Free Fight: 1140 coins (random prizes)
*****
Can "pass" to quit and receive coins won thus far.
Try to go as far as possible. When you first start here, you can probably
get up to round 6 fine, but 7 and 8 are usually a Mystic Giant a powerful mage.
If you have enough blocks to use the "free" or positive AP combos listed
for Lang, above, these fights will be over in 1 round (except the giant).
Mystic Giant is a pain, able to do around 1,500 damage per round, and
when I got there, I could barely take him out in 3 rounds... if he went
first in the final round, I was doomed. Once you get into a healing routine,
he's won.
The Mage is easy if you go first, but he's a killer if he goes first.
You might want to equip:
Something to prevent Blindness (Abyss Servant)
and something to prevent Confusion (the mage)
You get 3 prizes each time you win all 8 Fights.
Izumo Bronze, Jubon Rock, Statue of Arkuslam (artwork)
Blessing Pill, Restore Potion, Spirit's Blessing
Immortality Potion, Oble Gold Dust, Golden Dragon (artwork)
Resurrect Bottle, Angel's Blessing, Goddess's Blessing
Ultimate Blessing, Ultimate Miracle, Angel's Blessing
Unassailable Pill, Transparent Pill, Goddess's Blessing
And thus, I stopped fighting here, got the cook book, and moved on.
BUBBA was the final opponent once... Anti-Bewitch is ESSENTIAL to beat him.
Lyps Master was another strange final opponent... ABSORB NORMAL
(Normal attacks healed it... use Galea's Blazing Smash for a quick win.)
Gorva may also appear in round 7 or 8.
AFTER you are forced to play here, and you get "Sleeping Dragon" and a
Tireless Ribbon, the Free Fight is EASY. 2 Sleeping Dragons per round = WIN
*****

Now that we have the final member of our team, and the key item to proceed,
go back to Drokonia.
MiniEVENT, examine big rock, MiniEVENT
Go North, past the first intersection, then take the left path.
Use Ayne and Kazan's moves to get the stone onto the switch, then enter the
transporter to 2 chests.
Go back to the 2nd intersection, and head right. Then go Far south for a chest.
Go back up, and continue NE. There's another rock here, use Deva to open the
passage, go through and get the Camping Kit and Spell of Fire.
Use Deva to go up the top path. Hop down and pick up the 2 chests you couldn't
reach on the left side of the area.
Run back around to the pillar and use Deva. This time follow the path north.
Push bottom rock rock up, then push the top rock down. Run up, jump across to
the teleporter to a room with 2 chests.
Hop down, leave the room and re-enter.
Push the center rock right, the bottom rock up, and jump across north.
Camp Site
It's a good idea to save.
Head north to the Teleporter.
Go left to a chest (along the top), then backtrack up right to the room by the
non-functional teleporter. Push the top crystal left, then up. Push the 2nd
crystal left, then up. Push the last crystal left. The transporter should work
now.
Head into the first door you see.
Push the right crystal left, then up. Break the rock with Galea. Push the
crystal up. Teleport. Get the 2 chests.
Exit the room, head far west, under the teleporter, over the fallen tiles.
(they fell when you passed by to get the chest.) Teleport.
Head right, jump over the crevice, pass the hole in the north wall. Keep
going to the doors on the right.

Shove the top grey block down one space.
Shove the bottom grey block to the far right.
Shove the bottom crystal right, then up.

Teleport (or go back and save/etc)
Grab the 2 chests south of the teleporter.
Follow the right path at the intersection, hop along to a chest.
(Both paths meet at the same north path, the right path has the chest)
Continue North, enter next area. Take the left path to a chest, then continue
north. Hop to the right, once you see the exit to the next area... follow that
path to a chest (Life Syringe)
Back to the main path to the next area.

EVENT
BOSS
Part 1
Kill it quick. (1 Variable art, about 100k hp)
Event
Part 2
Kill off the arm first, then go after the main boss.
I suggest assigning one person to heal, and equip him/her with 2x item effect.
Bronze Baromes should fully restore your entire team easily with that.
Pull off Variable Arts as often as possible. (A couple Tireless Ribbons ;)
Unfortunetly, I didn't have a couple of those ribbons, so it was a hard boss.
If you see him do "Mad Howling," have everyone defend. He's about to use a
party hitting attack that does massive damage.
It was insanely hard to get any Variable Arts off on this guy, because he has
the tendency to use Volcano Storm every so often, killing off a character...
wiping out their AP.

Spirit's Blessing
Resurrect Bottle
FlameBurst Scroll
Fruit of the Gods x1
Everlasting Lava
New Magic Circle - return to the entrance.
Return to Darek's Haunt and talk to Kenjiro.
Buy a couple poison cures, separate purchases, exit the shop dialog each time.
I only had to buy 2 25 gold items to open this. Never bought anything else
from Kenjiro.
With each purchase, you have the chance that he'll reveal the location of
"The Secret Market"
Sharon can learn "Sick Shroom Soup" from Kenjiro if you have a Creepy Mushroom.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Return to Jinga
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go to the Secret Shop, Buy 99 Earth Dragon Wings for 12,000gp each from the
Expensive Materials list from the far right merchant.
Go to Jinga. In the Top Left house, TRADE the Wings for Sun Faulds.
Go back to the Secret Market and sell the Sun Faulds for 32,500gp each.
Repeat until you're satisfied.
Now, a trick not on any message boards:
Levelup without fighting.
Ok, not exactly leveling up, but has the same effect.
Go back to Darakin Citidel.
Go to the Junk Shop. Talk to the owner and cancel out repeatedly until he
randomly offers you the "Incredible Grab Bag" for 20,000gp.
These occasionally contain Leaf of "stat" items.
Now, don't use those leaves yet. You can combine them EASILY into FRUITS.
Combine Tools:
Leaf of "stat" -> Fruit of "stat"
Wenit Holy Water, Demarn Amber, and Gelatin Oil
Fruit of "stat" -> Fruit of the Gods:
Regrude Crystal, Yumyl God Water, and Miraculous Vaunusk
Buy at the Secret Market:
Demarn Amber - 900 (also in Yuno)
Gelatin Oil - 1,600
Regrude Crystal - 8,000
Miraculous Vaunusk - 40,800
Buy at Tanza or Darakin:
Wenit Holy Water - 500
You can't get Yumyl God Water at this point, but you don't really need it.
Create a bunch of Fruits of "stats"
(Fruit of the Gods only raises stats, not HP or MP, so make HP and MP fruit.)
Now's a great time to build up some Accessories from the secret market, and
supercharge your characters before heading to Phorchoon for the required
battle. Having one Tireless Ribbon is very nice, as is a Power Necklace.
At least buy an Extract Badge (No Encounters), and Holy Badge (Item Grabber).
If you didn't make them earlier.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grab the chest to the far left, then go up the stairs.
Doesn't matter which path you take, they both curve around to the same
destination far up and around the tower at a teleporter.
(Now's a GREAT time to gather Yumyl God Water to make your Fruit of the Gods)
Go right, then punch down the pillar to go up to get 3 chests above.
Go back and then west and hop over left to the chest.
Hop back, then head north and around to the floating platform. Use a thunder
bolt to activate the switch, then "move it". Head north to the teleporter.
Another curving staircase up the tower. There's a
Camp Site
on the first level up.
On the LEFT curve, there's a chest with armor in it.
Two teleporters here. The RED one leads back to the start. Continue in the
white teleporter.
North we go... punch the pillar, teleport again, head to the floating
platform again. Activate the switch and "move it" again.
Hit the bottom switch and then go back to the platform and use lightning
to activate the switch.
Don't "Move it" Yet.
Run south from there, to another pillar, punch it over, run up to the
first teleporter, back to the thunder switch. Trigger it, to close the
wind doors. Now run all the way back to the floating platform and ride it
over to the area with 2 chests. Fruit of Mysticism and Stamina.
Now go through the red teleporter. (resets the puzzle room)
Trigger the first thunder switch, "Move it"...
You'll be in the center of the room with a white and red teleporter. Take
the white teleporter to the north stairs.
Another circling staircase. A chest on the middle of the first level.
CAMP SITE
SAVE
Right before the teleporter.
BOSS
After he uses Ultimate Fang, use your new Hyper Art, and it'll get rid of
his madness (this slows him down, otherwise you're dead)
Hope he now uses Destruction Blade (it hurts the entire team for around
700, but this is much better than his 2000+hyper art damages)
Spoils
Ultimate Blessing
Resurrect Bottle
75,000 gp
Grab the Rainbow Capsule and get out of the tower.
(Big red teleporter)
New Map Spot
Visit Darek's Haunt, and help the pirates, get the star bandana, then go to
Sharon's room and talk to the parrot to open up
"Gordinar Island"
Make a lot of armor in Camping, and talk to Monjiro in Nohl. He'll reveal
"The Ultimate Armor Shop"
Make a lot of weapons in Camping, and talk to Kenjiro in Darek's haunt.

BOSS
This is a deceptively easy fight.
ONLY use ORIGIN attacks, Mystic Arts if possible.
Spoils:
Magic Powder
Magic Transformer
Spell of Dark (Maya's Hyper Art)
Stained Portrait
80,000gp
Random Encounters can now be met here.
I suggest collecting materials here, using No-Encounter + Item Grabber.
Go North to the descending platform.
Head South... and outside.
Follow the outside path down to a chest, then enter again.
Head north... climb up.
Go west to a chest containing a Heaven's Secret.
Go back east to an elevator to descend.
CAMP SITE
Head east, and follow the right branch to a chest. Go back and north and
follow the curving path along until the branch. Go right to a cave.
BOSS
Pretty easy... One Variable art 136k damage took it out.
It didn't get to attack.
Spoils:
30,000 gold
Heal Leaf
Lord Crystal
After battle: Get Divine BlueIce Gem
Go further south, pass the branch, go outside, get the chest.
Go back up to the branch, and descend.
Follow the path to the cross-roads.
East leads to a descending platform - CAMPSITE
Two chests east of the campsite: Earth's Teachings and a Heaven's Gate.
Go back up... North to a cave.
BOSS
Pretty easy... One Variable art 136k damage took it out.
It didn't get to attack.
Spoils:
30,000 gold
Heal Leaf
Lord Crystal
Spirit's Blessing
After battle: Get Divine Scarlet Gem
Go South, outside, and then inside...
At the crossroads, go west to 2 chests - one has a Heaven's Secret.
The North path branches off 2 to lowering platforms.
The first descending platform leads to a dead end.
Heading into the cave is another:
BOSS
Same as the others.
30,000 gold
Lord Crystal
After battle: Get Divine Gem of Dawn
The second platform (near the cave) leads to a long branching path.
South leads outside, then inside. 2 Chests. Smash rock, use Ayne for 3rd chest.
North to a descending platform. - CAMP SITE
I suggest resting (if you've actually been hurt - I hope not ;)
If you've got an Extract Badge, this place is easy. To simplify matters, equip
the badge on someone who's not in your fighting team. Then just switch your
fully equipped fighter out for the no-encounter person, and vice-versa for
bosses.

THE END
*******************************************************************************
WEAPONS/ARMOR
*******************************************************************************
I might finish this section some time... but it's not a big deal. The most
important thing is to know where you can get materials, and how expensive they
are to buy in shops... until the final buyable weapon/armor for each character.
Ultimate weapons are:
Lang - Weapon: Judgement Day - Str: +220, Int+50, Add Petrify
WEAPONS
SWORDS STR AGL CHA INT MEN Effects

ACCESSORIES
This needs an entirely separate in-depth FAQ.
Multi-Stat Bonus Accessories I created, may not always work like this.
Lucky Jewel + Fugitive Necklace = Def and MP Bonus, U/L Boost 2, Reverse-HP Def
Adept Bangle + Valor Ring = Int/Men Bonus, MP/Int Boost 1, MP Cost UP 1
Good for the Free Fight, if you're expecting Bubba:
Dream Necklace + Bonus Bangle = U/L Boost 2, Def Bonus, Anti-bewitch
Tireless Ribbon (My favorite)
Tireless
/ \
Sagely + Winged (max out these 2 before combining)
/ \
Muscle + Winged
/ \
Winged + Healing
Faust Ribbon (some people might like it) Tireless Ribbon + Healing Ribbon
Flash Ribbon
The most complicated accessory to make, and it's not worth it, In my opinion.
Here we go...
Flash Ribbon = Rich Earring + Gambler Earring
Gambler Earring = Rich Earring + Rogue Earring
Rich Earring = Counter Earring + Rogue Earring
Counter Earring = Rogue Earring + Hermit Earring
Rogue Earring = Sureshot Earring + Hermit Earring
Hermit Earring = Getaway Earring + Arts Earring
Getaway Earring = Sureshot Earring + Arts Earring
Sureshot Earring = Tireless Ribbon + Sagely Ribbon
Arts Earring = Sagely Ribbon + Muscle Ribbon
Tireless Ribbon = Sagely Ribbon + Winged Ribbon
Sagely Ribbon = Muscle Ribbon + Winged Ribbon
Muscle Ribbon = Winged Ribbon + Healing Ribbon

I only recorded what I was SURE I got from each monster. Some only appeared in
groups with other monsters, making it impossible to determin exactly what they
each gave as rewards.

NOTE: Once these monsters begin appearing, you cannot find "Rock Golems" or
"Baki" anymore. (I note this because they have stat increasing items.)
Defeat Stiel in the Guild Mission to thunder mines.
He's in the far east area, where you punch a stone, lift up on the pedestal,
push the block, and grow the vines.
He's got double attack, so watch out, but other than that, just pound away
with variable arts.
Ultimate Blessing x3
Ultimate Miracle x1
Fruit of the Gods x1
136683 gold
250,000 reward, not 200,000
Drokonia boss: Ruglionaut
There's a miniboss in the room before the altar chamber, in addition to the
big boss.
If you went to "defeat the leader," and return to Tanza later, Balzac will
give you 30 Dream Burgers as thanks.

EXTRAS
*******************************************************************************
Sidejump (Nohl, Tanza, Nohl)
Hold the controller steady, put your hand between the analog sticks, and move
your hand back and forth, quickly (moving both sticks together). Works great.
I hear it earns you a Heaven's Secret.
Dagger Throwing (In Darek's Haunt, building)
Waste of time, in my opinion, they say it's worth a Heaven's Secret.
Planting (Yuno)
Never did any planting.
Rice Patty (Tanza)
Didn't do much of this either, didn't need any fertilizer.
Arena (Phorchoon)
Info in the Phorchoon section.
Auction (Phorchoon)
I guess if you want to furnish your room you can waste money here.
You can get stat increasing items here too, but I prefer Incredible Grab Bags)
Casino (Phorchoon)
Didn't see much use in that. A bit of a diversion, waste of money.
Centurion Challenge (In Jinga)
To begin, walk up to the monolith behind the chief, and accept the challenge.
These are random, I'm told... but here's what I got on my first time through.
5 defeated: chest - Golden Barome
15 defeated: chest - Ultimate Blessing
30 defeated: chest - Ultimate Blessing
50 defeated: chest - Restore Potion
75 defeated: chest - Ultimate Blessing
100 defeated: chest - 5 Fruit of the Gods

Heaven's Secret (from chief)
From Spell of Water in the Forest Maze:
Go back down, then further to a tree with fruit in it.
Knock the beetle out of the tree with Deva...
(not important until you go on the guild mission)
Nicolas Dufer
(Found the solution to the 2nd clock trial in the ruins, in his mini-faq)
Milliardo
From the message boards. First time I saw the quick gold trick.
Gafgarion
Arts lists for characters I didn't like to use (Ayne and Maya)
Dragen and Kiah
From the message boards, combo sequence for Flash Ribbon.
Fighter Ownz
Info about losing to the double-team in Gale Canyon. I fought and defeated
Marianne before losing, without knowing if you needed to see that cinema
before being defeated, to avoid a game over screen.
Rey (email)
Pointed out an error in Ayne's art list for Solid Blow.
Since I didn't personally make a list for Ayne, I never checked.
JungleJim
Accessory Combination In-depth FAQ ... saved me time remembering what I used
to make stuff with in the first place.
Aragon, Sumiko, Judith, Enker, Aspect, Natdog, and Storm.
Random stuff unrelated to FAQ writing.
Jeff Friedman
For temporarily banning me from Race War Kingdoms so I had time to play this
wonderful game. Otherwise, I'd be clicking away for hours on end, wearing out
my mouse... I wonder if I'll have time to play through Xenosaga and Rygar too,
before he unbans me and makes a public apology.
