               Meter has marked 100%. Jack will then perform this Attack
               on the targeted enemy.

  WT01         Walkthrough

  ====         ==============
  AC01         Radiata Castle
  ====         ==============

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Ridley Silverlake                            |
  |                                                                   |
  | Several scenes following the opening of Radiata Stories, Jack is  |
  | immediately thrown into a tough battle. Start by pressing the X   |
  | Button to Guard most of Ridley's Attacks. Press the O Button to   |
  | Attack Ridley. She'll eventually use a very powerful ability to   |
  | knock you out of the competition.                                 |
  |                                                                   |
  | Relax, the battle was part of the story, which means that Jack    |
  | was supposed to be defeated.                                      |
  O ================================================================= O

  Nevertheless, once you have lost against Ridley, the story will then
  continue. Following the events within the coliseum, Jack arrives in
  the Trainee's Room.

A   Examine the bunk underneath the Save Point to find an Analysis Ball.
    You can also examine the bunk behind Leonard to obtain 10 Gold. Now
    examine the dresser next to Leonard to obtain a Cure Drop. Exit the
    Trainee's Room.

    Start down the eastern corridor and enter into the second Trainee's
    Room. Examine the wooden chair pushed towards the desk on the right
    to find a Cure Drop.

    Continue down the western hall and through the wooden doors on the
    left. Continue down the staircase, and into the Storeroom. Examine
    the shelf in the corner to obtain a Herb Extract.

    Examine the table on the right side of the Storeroom to find a Cure
    Needle. Return to the hall outside Leonard's Room.

    You can obtain about 500 Gold by kicking the Guard just outside the
    Trainee's Room. You'll have to kick him 500 times to obtain the 500
    Gold.

  Start down the eastern corridor and continue through the wooden doors
  to the Small Tower.

A   Start through the wooden doors on the right and continue through the
    corridor to the castle's basement intersection. Continue through the
    doors on the northern wall. Proceed down the corridor and enter into
    another Storeroom. Examine the two lockers behind the crates to find
    the Knight's Edge Sword. Leave the Storeroom and return to the Small
    Tower.

  Locate the staircase in the center of the Small Tower and continute to
  the upper-most floor. Proceed through the doors to the second floor of
  Radiata Castle.

A   Start down the corridor, then into the first door your pass. Welcome
    to Ridley Siverlake's Room ;)

    Obtain the Holy Water from the drawer. You'll find Ridley's Theme in
    the cabinet. Return to the corridor and enter the room to the left
    of the guard. You'll be able to find 5 Gold from the statue, and Buy,
    Sell, or Trade from the Vendor.

  Back in the corridor on the second floor, locate a staircase that will
  take Jack to the third floor of Radiata Castle.

A   You can find Natalie and Ganz's Room to the left of the staircase on
    the third floor of Radiata Castle. In these two rooms, Ganz's Theme
    can be obtained from the Bookshelf, and 15 Gold can be obtain from a
    Desk.

  Back in the corridor on the third floor, proceed through the doors on
  the right. You'll see a guard standing to the right of the meeting
  room. Following the cutscene, you will be taken to a battle tutorial.

  ====         ============
  AC02         Adien Region
  ====         ============

  Access the Blue Save Point at the end of the bridge. Follow the path
  to enter the Adien Region.

  The trail will eventually split into a three-way intersection. Follow
  the trail west towards Nuevo Village.

A   Locate the path between the two houses and examine the hidden wall
    to obtain an Evasion Berry. Return to the main trail and contniue
    west.

  Head west to advance further into the Adien Region. The path splits
  into several directions, but we are looking for Earth Valley. Start
  up the nrother trail, past the small bridge, and onward to the Dova
  Region.

  ====         ===========
  AC03         Dova Region
  ====         ===========

  The mobs in the Dova Region can be very difficult. I would recommend
  obtaining at least level eight before venturing further. When you do
  think you are ready, follow the western trail. If you stray from the
  path, Ganz should redirect you.

  If you are heading the correct way, you should see a large valley in
  the distance. Descend into the valley to reach Earth Valley.

  ====         ============
  AC04         Earth Valley
  ====         ============

  Welcome to Earth Valley. To your left is the Equipment Shop. You'll
  find the Inn is the closest building to Jack.

A   Enter the Inn and continue to the door on the far side of the room.
    Locate the bed set against the screen. You can examine it to find
    a Heating Tablet. Exit the Inn.

  The General Store is on the eastern side of the village. The General
  Store is the only servicable store you can access at this time. Head
  down the ramp and locate the Elder's House to the left. Once you are
  inside, proceed to the third floor to speak to the Elder.

A   Inside the Elder's House, examine the cabinet on the west side of
    the second floor to find a Life Berry. Examine the counter in the
    lower-right corner of the room to find Startle Powder.

  Following the cutscene with the Elder, you will return outside the
  Elder's House.

A   Start down the stairs to the three Blacksmiths. Continue through
    the third 'Blacksmith Gehrmann' building and examine the safe at
    the top of the stairs to find a Herb Extract.

    Further down the stairs is the Dormitory. There are two rooms in
    the Dormitory. In the left room, examine the trash can to obtain
    an Analysis Ball. In the right room, obtain an Earth Valley from
    the safe.

    There is a hidden staircase to the left of the Elder's House. Go
    down the staircase and into Marke's Place. Here you can obtain a
    Flee Ball.

  You'll now have to wait until 5:00PM (Game Time) before this story
  can advance any further. You then have until 2:00PM GT to complete
  the objective.

  ====         ============
  AC05         Dwarf Tunnel
  ====         ============

A   If it isn't between the hours of 5:00PM - 2:00AM, then let's explore
    the Dwarf Tunnel while we wait. Start down the tunnel into the shaft
    below. You can examine the drawer next to the beds to obtain 60 Gold,
    and Cement Powder. Examine the barrels to obtain some Toadstool and
    Cement Powder. Contine down the western tunnel and take the elevator
    to the shaft below. A tunnel will take you to a Storage Room.

    Examine the pile of trash near the crates to find a Bell Amulet. You
    can obtain a Herb Extract from the barrels, another from the desk. A
    Luck Bracelet can also be obtained from the Chest.

    Cotninue west through the tunnel to another storage area. You'll find
    Cooling Spray from a bed, and an empty bottle from a barrel. Return
    to Earth Valley.

  It should now hopefully be between the hours of 5:00PM - 2:00AM GT. If
  the time still is not between these hours, then explore the village.
  Once the Pub has opened, proceed inside, speak to the Bartender, then
  accept his proposition to become the security guard.

  Now wait until 2:00AM GT. Enter the Pub to initiate a cutscene within
  the Dawnbay Diner.

  Return to the Boulder Frog Inn, access the Save Point, then goto Sleep.
  Once Jack awakens, the supply crate will be ready. Ganz, Ridley, and
  Clive will rejoin the party and you can escort the caravan to Radiata
  Castle.

  ====         ===========
  AC06         Dova Region
  ====         ===========

  Follow the path, but do not wander too far from the caravan. Continue
  following the caravan to initiate a cutscene in the Dova Region.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Goblin Trio                                  |
  |                                                                   |
  | There will be a triangle-shaped connection between these Goblins  |
  | for the majority of this battle. The Goblins are quick, so this   |
  | can be difficult to evade. Keep out of the triangle-shaped field  |
  | to avoid Combo Attacks from the Goblins.                          |
  |                                                                   |
  | Fortunately there is a positive side to this. You can allow the   |
  | Goblins to come close enough so Jack can use a Volty Combo, and   |
  | perform a Link Break. You really shouldn't have a problem with    |
  | the Goblin Trio as they are painfully easy to defeat.             |
  O ================================================================= O

  Continue following the caravan until the party had returned to Radiata
  Castle.

  ====         ==============
  AC07         Radiata Castle
  ====         ==============

  You'll be at the Castle Gates once you have regained control of Jack.
  Enter Radiata Castle.

A   Left of the Gate Entrance is the female washroom. You cannot enter,
    though if you attempt to do so, you do experience a comical moment.

    You can enter the washroom nearby and examine the bucket to obtain
    some Holy Water.

  Return to the corridor and start down the eastern corridor. Continue
  through the large door to the next area. Ignore the several doors
  along the corridor, as Ganz will immediately redirect you.

  Proceed down the eastern corridor and into the next room. Search for
  the staircase and coninue travelling upstairs until you have reached
  the fourth floor. Move towards the screen and enter through the door
  on the left immediately before the stairs.

  Follow the corridor to initiate a cutscene. Your party will disband
  shortly after. You'll automatically return to the Trainee's Room.
  Access the Save Point, Save, then Sleep. The story then continues.

  ====         ==================
  OD01         Path of the Spider
  ====         ==================

A   This is a very short, optional dungeon which can be access at the
    bottom of the Big Tower, West of the Trainee's Room. Continue to
    the bottom of the Big Tower should you decide to enter, then head
    through the northern passage. You will eventually enter into a
    chamber with a chest that contains a Strength Berry.

    Be sure to attack any enemy you see. Though the creatures in this
    area are not hostile, they do reward a lot of EXP. Once finished,
    return to the Trainee's Room, access the Save Point, then Sleep.

  ====         ==============
  AC08         Cuatour Region
  ====         ==============

  The story continues when Ganz, Ridley, and Jack are sent to deliver a
  message to the Light Elves. Follow the trail until you have come to a
  fork. Now there are two different paths you may follow. If you decide
  to proceed north:

A   Everything is very straight-forward. Start down the trail towards a
    cliff at the trail's end. Examine the rock against the trunk of the
    tree to obtain a Celestial Nectar.

  If you decide to head west, the party will eventually arrive in Fort
  Helencia.

  Continue following the trail, cross the long wooden bridge, and enter
  the Elf Region.

  ====         ==========
  AC09         Elf Region
  ====         ==========

  You will encounter Genius shortly ahead. After the cutscene, proceed
  through the tunnel into the next area. Follow the trail to initiate
  a cutscene at the Light Elf Entrance. The party will soon return to
  Genius's House. Backtrack to the wooden bridge to initiate another
  cutscene. Follow the trail to an enormous fallen tree.

  Here you will encounter another fork in the trail. However, a Light
  Elf guards the northern trail, so at the present time you may only
  head south.

  ====         ============
  AC10         Nowem Region
  ====         ============

  Follow the trail and locate the treasure chest directly before the
  river. Obtain the Recovery Pills from the Treasure Chest. Continue
  to the next area to initiate a cutscene. Enter through an enormous
  tree to the next area.

  Examine the nearby baskets to obtain 150 Gold and a Bell Amulet. You
  cannot yet head south, so start down the western path. It eventually
  takes you to a three-way intersection. Follow the north-western path
  to the next area.

  Follow the trail that leads through the back of the woods. You cannot
  follow the other trail as Genius will redirect you if you attempt to
  do so. Follow the trail west to the Forest Metropolis.

  ====         =================
  AC11         Forest Metropolis
  ====         =================

  Welcome to the Forest Metropolis. You will find the General Store to
  the left and the Brewery to the Right.

A   Examine the barrel to the right of the General Store to obtain a
    Life Berry. Now may be a good time to visit the General Store as
    there is a difficult Boss Battle ahead.

    Enter the Brewery Corridor, then enter through the first door that
    you pass to enter the Brewery. Examine a barrel on the left side
    to obtain a Magma Powder. Exit the Brewery and continue east. You
    can obtain two Life Berries from the barrels before the staircase.
    Head down the stairs and into the cellar. You can obtain a Mint
    Drop from a bucket next to the barrels. Return to the entrance of
    the Forest Metropolis.

    The Dormitory up the stairs to the left has two rooms. You'll find
    an Evasion Berry from the barrel in the lower-left corner. In the
    room on the right, examine the barrels to obtain two items. Return
    to the entrance of the Forest Metropolis.

  Back at the entrance of the Forest Metropolis, locate the stairs next
  to the Brewery Entrance. The stairs will take you to the second floor.
  Start up the staircase to the left to meet up with Genius, Wanz, and
  Ridley.

  Nogueira will send you back to the main entrance where you must then
  wait for the messenger to arrive. Now return through the door on the
  right. Proceed to the back of the room and down the staircase.

A   After visiting with Nogueira, search for Ganz by the stairs. He can
    be found by the stairs nears the Cellar. Speak to Ganz and agree to
    assist him in making wine. You will then speak to another who will
    ask a variety of questions. Select "Rich", "No Way!", "Master Cook",
    then "Plain Veggie Soup". Jack received 1,000 Gold.

    There is a room to the very far left of this floor. You'll find an
    Elf Region from the bench. Exit the room and enter the room nearby.
    Access the Save Point, Save, then Sleep.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Blood Orc                                    |
  |                                                                   |
  | Everyone says "No, No", but Jack says "Yes, Yes". This Orc does   |
  | have some amazing strength, so take a few hits and Guard. Use a   |
  | Volty Combo if needed to thrust the Blood Orc on to it's back.    |
  |                                                                   |
  | If you see the Blood Orc jump into the air, then Guard and jump   |
  | jump back while in a defensive stance. The idea is to start by    |
  | attacking the Blood Orc and keep it knocked on to it's back so    |
  | it cannot act.                                                    |
  O ----------------------------------------------------------------- O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Blood Orc Continuation                       |
  |                                                                   |
  | Everything is basically the same as before, except the Orc will   |
  | concentrate more on it's Area of Effect attacks. The idea is to   |
  | keep the Orc occupied while Nogueira focuses on his magic which   |
  | will deliver the finishing blow on the Orc. You'll be finishing   |
  | this battle without Ridley.                                       |
  O ================================================================= O

  ====     ==============
  AC12     Radiata Castle
  ====     ==============

  Following the cutscene, enter into the castle return to the Trainee's
  Room. Access the Save Point, Save, then Sleep. Exit to the corridor
  to see Al run towards the Big Tower. Follow him to the Big Tower and
  descend down one level and enter into the Dungeon to initiate another
  cutscene.

  Return to the Trainee's Room, access the Save Point, Save, then Sleep.
  Now I'm a little confused here so please correct me if I am wrong. It
  will either initiate a cutscene between the Commander of the Radiata
  Knights and the Lord of Radiata Castle, or a cutscene where Ganz has
  to deliver the bad news to Jack.

  If the cutscene between the Lord of Radiata Castle initiated, return
  to the corridor once you have awakened, visit the dungeon, visit the
  infirmary, visit the Lord and his Mistress on the fourth floor, then
  visit the King in the Audience Chamber. Return to the Trainee's Room
  to find Ganz.

  If the cutscene between Ganz and Jack occurs, then watch the cutscene
  until it cuts to a battle scene.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Battle Scene: Jarvis                                      |
  |                                                                   |
  | Itsh a drunken shiveeleean...hic! He's painfully easy. Attack and |
  | Guard. He doesn't attack too hard, and can be defeated within a   |
  | matter of seconds.                                                |
  O ================================================================= O

  You will now be inside Carl's Pub. Speak to the customers before you
  speak to Ganz at the counter. Once you have regained control of Jack,
  enter through the door on your left.

  Following the cutscene, Jack and Ganz will arrive at Theatre Vancoor.
  Following the cutscene, continue up the stairs to the right. Enter
  into the door to the left. Watch the cutscene and be well prepared
  to battle.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Gerald                                       |
  |                                                                   |
  | Face it. You don't stand a chance, and if you did, I doubt that   |
  | the game would let you win the battle. You are unable to Guard,   |
  | and Gerald knocks off about 150HP per Combo.                      |
  |                                                                   |
  | Nevertheless, he is extremely quick, but you will not get a Game  |
  | Over for being defeated.                                          |
  O ================================================================= O

  The next step in the test is to visit the fourth floor where you will
  encounter the Guild Master. Head up the staircase to the fourth floor
  and enter into the Guild Master's quarters.

  The next morning, it's time to return to Theatre Vancoor where you'll
  learn more advanced combat training, and possibly achieve a promotion.
  And it will be pretty embarrasing should you be defeated against your
  next opponent.

A   This Guild has a ton of rooms, so I am not going to be explaining
    everything you can obtain from each one. Nevertheless, you should
    visit each of the rooms within the Guild to obtain items that can
    help on the journey ahead.

  Once on the second floor, proceed through the door on the right to
  enter the training grounds.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Daniel                                       |
  |                                                                   |
  | He's the master of combat, his armor shimmers at the sound of his |
  | name, he is Daniel, and he is a piece of cake. He also sounds a   |
  | lot like the news anchor's son from Family Guy.                   |
  |                                                                   |
  | If you have played World of Warcraft you should be well aware of  |
  | how ranks are determined. If you defeat Daniel, then Jack will    |
  | have obtained his first rank within the Guild.                    |
  |                                                                   |
  | You need to plan your Guard Attacks. Daniel shouldn't be able to  |
  | break your Guard like Gerald. He'll deal minimal damage and will  |
  | soar like an eagle when a Volty Combo has been used. He's pretty  |
  | fun to beat up, just think of him as one of those target dummies  |
  | in battle training. He'll pretty much let you attack him.         |
  O ================================================================= O

  Exit to the Yellow Town of the Sun and Glory. This city is enormous.
  Here you can choose to go south to the Lupus Gate, west down the
  side road, or north to the heart of the city.

A   Let's start by heading north towards Radiata Castle. We'll need
    to buy some much better equipment from the Armory. Once in the
    next area, take the path to the left to Vancoor Square. Locate
    the Armory to the left of the Lottery Booth.

    If you are in need of items, the General Store is to the right
    of the Armory.

    This is one of those times where you do not have a clue what to
    do. Look for The Path of Insanity and Fanticism. Proceed west
    to reach the Blue Town of Water and Wisdom. Watch the cutscene,
    then to the laboratory to the east.

    Locate the Star Tower and continue to the very bottom. Proceed
    into the Research Lab to find Marietta. After helping her, she
    will join your Friend's List.

  Once you have finished exploring the city, return to Jack's House
  underneath the bridge, access the Save Point, Save, then Sleep.
  The story will then continue. When you are ready, and your party
  has been formed, head towards the Echidna Gate marked on your Map.

  ====     ===========
  AC13     Tria Region
  ====     ===========

  Beware, the enemies in this area are very difficult, as you are
  heading to the Elf Region from a different trail. After a short
  distance, you can either head west or north. Solieu Village can
  be found down the western trail, while the Elf Region is to the
  north.

A   If you decide to head west, you can obtain Gonber as a friend
    by travelling to Tria Village. Gonber will join your Friend's
    List if you rescue him from the lake.

  When you are ready to cotinue to the Elf Region, return to the
  fork in the trail right before Solieu Village and head north.
  You'll now be following a long trail which eventually returns
  to the Nowem Region.

  ====         ============
  AC14         Nowem Region
  ====         ============

  We've come in from a different approach into the Nowem Region,
  but the area pretty much remains untouched. Follow the path
  to the next area.

  You probably do not remember this area, but we came here with
  Genius, Ridley, and Ganz, only Genius did not allow you to
  start down this path.

A   Start down the path to the left, then cross the river. From here,
    it's pretty much backtracking to the Forest Metropolis. Look for
    the three-way intersection and head down the north-most path.

    Once you come to another fork in the trail, follow the path that
    leads towards the screen.

    Here you can go another three directions, the trail to the right
    loops around the waterfall and meets at the trail leading off to
    the left. The central path leads to a chest containing 500 Gold.

  Start down the trail to the right. This will take you to another
  familiar area. The Light Elf still guards the northern bridge.
  Instead, follow the trail to the right, back through the Cautour
  Region, then to the Elf Region.

  ====         ==========
  AC15         Elf Region
  ====         ==========

  Ignore the entrance to the City of Flowers, as Jarvis won't allow
  Jack to enter. You'll eventually see the trail lead off into two
  different directions. The southern trail is a dead-end, which now
  leaves the northern trail. Following the north-western trail will
  initiate a cutscene.

  | (Event) Battle Scene: Crocogator                                  |
  |                                                                   |
  | This battle is much funner during nightfall. Though use caution   |
  | when approaching the Crocogator. Attack, then Guard, as the       |
  | Crocogator can dish out some heavy attacks. Have a Volty Combo    |
  | prepared. Some of the Two-Handed Swords will start by using the   |
  | basic Volty Attack, followed by Extension Aura, which will deal   |
  | numerous attacks in one turn.                                     |
  |                                                                   |
  | Since you are both considered Warriors, Jarvis should be a Main   |
  | Tank, otherwise known as the one who takes all the damage.        |
  O ================================================================= O

  Return to the previous area to initiate another cutscene. Examine the
  Pig Statue near the entrance to the City of Flowers to return back to
  the Lupus Gate. Look for the Path of the Sun in Vancoor Square.

  ====         ===============
  BC01         Theatre Vancoor
  ====         ===============

  The Path of the Sun takes you directly to the Olacion Order. Once you
  have enterred the Olacion Order, locate the Church and start through
  the doors on the left. Anastasia's Room should be directly ahead. A
  cutscene will then initiate.

  After returning to Theatre Vancoor, it's time to return to return to
  Jack's Quarters under the bridge in the Path of Swords and Wisdom.
  Access the Save Point, Save, then Sleep. Return to the Guild.

  | Ignore the King Serpent. You should focus on taking care of the   |
  | Trents, as they are going to be the three that will be causing    |
  | problems throughout the battle.                                   |
  |                                                                   |
  | The battle is painfully easy with the use of Extension Aura. It   |
  | can easily take out any nearby enemies, so gather the Serpent     |
  | and the Trents up close and use Extension Aura.                   |
  |                                                                   |
  | If you are using another weapon that isn't a Two-Handed Sword, I  |
  | would focus your attacks mainly on the King Serpent as the King   |
  | Serpent has a nasty bite that can knock off an unhealthy amount   |
  | of your HP.                                                       |
  |                                                                   |
  | In either case, attack the enemy once or twice, then Guard. Now   |
  | continue doing this until you have obtained enough points for a   |

  |                                                                   |
  | Start west through Nuevo Village. There are several paths nearby  |
  | which split into different directions. From the trail, continue   |
  | north, then turn before the small bridge.                         |
  |                                                                   |
  | Now we are in the Ocho Region. This is where you will encounter   |
  | the Smilodon. Continue to where the path splits into two, then    |

  | north, as you should find another Smilodon.                       |
  |                                                                   |

  | Attack the Mud Pawns first. They can be pretty annoying so it is  |
  | best to take them out first. Don't defeat them all, just enough   |
  | so that there are considerably less on the field.                 |
  |                                                                   |
  | One thing to keep in mind in the Sewers is the fact that it can   |
  | be very dark, which means you can attack your own allies.         |
  |                                                                   |
  | Stay behind the Mud Ponbabar. Why? If you remain in front of it,  |
  | the Mud Ponbabar can use an attack similar to extension aura.     |
  | This basically means that one attack can inflict a string of      |
  | critical attacks. Once you have taken care of some of the Mud     |
  | Pawns, start attacking the Mud Ponbabar from behind while your    |
  | allies attack the Mud Pawns. Watch the Mud Ponbabar's Mouth!      |
  | If it starts opening very wide, move out of the way to dodge      |
  | it's critical attack. This changes the battle to your favor       |
  | so the Mud Ponbabar almost never has the chance to make one       |
  | successful attack.                                                |
  |                                                                   |
  | Unless you have a Mage, this is going to be one heck of a long    |
  | battle, as the Boss is almost immune to physical attacks. This    |
  | means to watch the health of your allies. You do not want to      |
  | be doing this battle alone.                                       |

    Start through the western door and continue to a room with a large
    creature roaming the corridors. Start counter-clockwise, then head
    through the first accessible gate. Continue west all the way until
    you have come to a dead-end with a chest containing a Leprechaun.

    Return to the area just west of the power room. The same direction
    you went to obtain the Leprechaun. In this corridor, look for the
    stairs heading south.

    Continue down the eastern corridor. Both sides goto a large room
    with a large creature roaming around. In the eastern room, start
    clockwise and enter the only gate that is not in a corner. Start
    down this corridor, climb up the ladder, then obtain the Feather
    Earring from the chest. Return to the previous area.

    From that gate, head clockwise, then continue through the first
    accessible gate you pass. Now we can exit the sewers and return

  | backside without getting countered. Do this only when Melissa     |
  | has her back turned. If you use a Volty Attack (Extension Aura),  |
  | or a regular attack, either immediately move out of the way or    |
  | Guard following your action.                                      |
  |                                                                   |
  | She is capable of inflicting a string of status ailments which    |
  | may be your weak hand at this battle. The idea is to attack,      |
  | then Guard until Melissa begins walking away.                     |

  Return to Theatre Vancoor and speak to Thanos to complete the Quest.
  Head to Jack's House to initiate a cutscene.

  ====         ==============
  BC05         Radiata Castle
  ====         ==============

  After all that hard work in the Guild, I suppose it would be a good
  idea to take a break for a short while. After returning to Jack's
  House, Leonard approaches with an invitation to Ridley's Birthday.

  Head into the castle and make your way to the Ballroom at the very
  top of the Castle. Watch the cutscene, then return to Jack's House.
  Access the Save Point, Save, then Sleep. This should continue the
  cutscene between Genius and Ridley.

  Return to Theatre Vancoor and speak to Thanos. You'll still have
  the same Quests as before, as well as a new one.

  | (Quest) Treasure of Goblin Cemetery - ToGC                        |
  |                                                                   |
  | Client: Thanos                                                    |
  |    Pay: 3,000                                                     |
  O ----------------------------------------------------------------- O
  | You can search for the Goblin Cemetery in the Dorse Region. You   |
  | have been asked to go to the Goblin Cemetery to obtain treasure   |
  | for Thanos.                                                       |
  |                                                                   |
  | The entrance to the Goblin Cemetery is completely sealed. You'll  |
  | need to access the Vareth Institute Library before heading off    |
  | to the Dorse Region. The Vareth Institute is the large building   |
  | in the Blue Town of Water and Wisdom.                             |
  |                                                                   |
  | Proceed to the third floor of the Institute. Enter through the    |
  | Cafetria and through the door on the left or right to come to     |
  | the Moon or Star Tower. Proceed through the door in the corner    |
  | to be taken to the President's Officer.                           |
  |                                                                   |
  | The Library is a bit difficult to find. At the Reception inside,  |
  | start towards the right look for the red and blue carpet right    |
  | underneath the barricaded doorway.                                |
  |                                                                   |
  | You should now be on the second floor. Look in the lower-right    |
  | for the entrance to floor three. Proceed up the stairs and to     |
  | the right. Examine the bookshelf to find the secret password      |
  | to the Goblin Cemetery. Is it "Sesame Seeds!" or "Open Sesame"?   |
  |                                                                   |
  | Head to the Lupus Gate, then continue south at the fork in the    |
  | trail. Follow this path, then head north when the path begins     |
  | to split. This takes you over a long bridge and into the Dorse    |
  | Region. Follow the trail until Jack encounters the Goblin Trio    |
  | once again.                                                       |
  O ================================================================= O

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Goblin Trio                                  |
  |                                                                   |
  | There will be a triangle-shaped connection between these Goblins  |
  | for the majority of this battle. The Goblins are quick, so this   |
  | can be difficult to evade. Keep out of the triangle-shaped field  |
  | to avoid Combo Attacks from the Goblins.                          |
  |                                                                   |
  | Fortunately there is a positive side to this. You can allow the   |
  | Goblins to come close enough so Jack can use a Volty Combo, and   |
  | perform a Link Break. You really shouldn't have a problem with    |
  | the Goblin Trio as they are painfully easy to defeat.             |
  |                                                                   |
  | The Goblin Trio will deal significantly more damage, and their    |
  | Box Link will be harder to break. Not really any other changes    |
  | to be aware of.                                                   |

  O ----------------------------------------------------------------- O
  | Following the Battle you will have three options to select from.  |
  | You may either finish off the Goblins, Let them Go, or Ask them   |
  | to Join.                                                          |
  |                                                                   |
  | Whatever you choose, Gob, Aesop, and Monki will eventually join   |
  | you and be placed on your Friends' List. Proceed west along the   |
  | cliffs, then head south to the next area. You'll then be faced    |
  | with heading two directions. The path you are on now comes to a   |
  | dead-end with a chest containing Life Berries. If you turn, you   |
  | will be heading to Goblin Cemetery.                               |
  |                                                                   |
  | This should be the final intersection we have to come across at   |
  | the present time. Goblin Cemetery is to the right. Approach the   |
  | entrance to initiate the cutscene, then climb the ladder down     |
  | into the cemetery. Follow the corridor to a large chamber. Kill   |
  | all the enemies in this area, then continue through the western   |
  | chamber.                                                          |
  |                                                                   |
  | The first several rooms in this dungeon are pretty simple. You    |
  | defeat the enemies and enter through the only door you will be    |
  | able to enter. Continue to do this until a cutscene initiates.    |

  | I'd set Spinning Slash as one of your attacks to avoid Crowd      |
  | Control, otherwise use one of the Link Commands. You don't have   |
  | to worry about not saving for a while. This battle is simple if   |
  | you haven't rushed your way to the Goblin Cemetery.               |
  |                                                                   |
  | Gobbleshope won't allow you to get a lock. Get as close to him    |
  | as you can, then use an attack that can inflict damage on more    |
  | than one target. If you have Army of Shadow by now, lock on to    |
  | Gobbleshope and press X and Square simultaneously. Locking on     |
  | to Gobbleshope will not last long before he disappears so you     |
  | must be quick, otherwise the Army of Shadows will attack one of   |
  | his minions.                                                      |
  |                                                                   |
  | Keep your focus mainly on Gobbleshope, as everything else will    |
  | simply respawn.                                                   |

  |                                                                   |
  | Defeat all the Mech Dwarves and open the chest in the first room  |

  |                                                                   |

  | These will spin around in a massive circle, so it would help to   |
  | focus on one Rockdigger before the other. Army of Shadows would   |
  | definitely make things easier, though the Rockdiggers also have   |
  | 1,400 HP, so Army of Shadows isn't going to kill a Rockdigger.    |
  |                                                                   |
  | So what do you do? Attack and Defend. Use your Link Commands to   |
  | inflict damage. Once you manage to defeat one Rockdigger, this    |
  | should be considerably easier.                                    |
  |                                                                   |

  |                                                                   |
  | You must first break through the tentacles, but they don't deal   |
  | too much damage. By the time all the tentacles have been taken    |
  | down, you should have enough in your damage meter to mount some   |
  | serious damage with a Volty Attack.                               |
  |                                                                   |
  | This isn't to say to keep attacking the tentacles, as they will   |
  | come back eventually. Just keep attacking them until the Trap     |
  | Octupus comes out from hiding.                                    |
  |                                                                   |
  | That's about all the strategy I can give. The Octopus will not    |
  | raise unless several tentacles are down. You'll be better off     |
  | standing between two tentacles and performing an attack which     |
  | inflicts damage on multiple targets.                              |

  You'll then be at the Heliforde Gate Entrance. Donovitch will not
  allow Jack to enter back into the city, which means we must take
  the long way to Earth Valley. Follow the trail until it splits to
  two seperate directions. This should be the first fork you pass.
  Follow the trail west to Earth Valley.

  After several cutscenes, start scaling the cliff and access the Pig
  Stone to return to the city. Return the Jack's House to initiate a
  cutscene.

  Once you are ready to continue to Radiata Castle, return to Jack's
  House, access the Save Point, Save, then Sleep. You'll then have a
  surprise visitor. You'll then have to make another quick decision.

  Follow Ridley, who desperately needs help from Jack, or return to
  Radiata Castle for your scheduled audience with Larks.

  Following another cutscene, Jack and Ridley meet in the Tria Region.
  Start down the western trail, then continue north once you come to
  the fork in the trail.

  Follow the trail past the bridge and into the Nowem Region. Doing so
  initiates a cutscene back at Radiata Castle. From the Nowem Region,
  continue down the trail to the next area. Head east through the tree.
  Cross the river. You should know which way to the Light Elf Fortress
  from here.

  If you don't, then just keep following the path you are currently on
  without making any turns. This will bring you you to Cautour Region.
  Following the trail will initiate a cutscene with Jasne and Lucian.
  Head through Fort Helencia. From here the trail should lead into the
  Elf Region, past Genius's House. A cutscene should initiate when you
  have arrived at the City of Flowers.

  Time to travel to Fort Helencia. Proceed down the path which you are
  currently on. Backtrack until you have come back to Fort Helencia.
  Once you have come to Fort Helencia, start to the right. Access the
  Save Point, Save, then start towards the entrance. This will then
  initiate a cutscene.

  | (Event) Boss Battle: Leonard, Natalie                             |
  |                                                                   |
  | If you have your Volty Meter at 100%, start by using your Volty   |
  |  Attack on Natalie. Start attacking Leonard first. After you get  |
  |  him out of the way, Natalie should be cakewalk.                  |
  |                                                                   |
  |  If both Natalie and Leonard get too close, then perhaps Attack   |
  |  and Guard may come in handy. Make sure you use an attack which   |
  |  can attack both targets at the same time.                        |
  |                                                                   |
  |  Watch out for Natalie's Combo, she deals three seriously harmful |
  |  attacks. If you used a Volty Attack at the beginning, you should |
  |  now have your second meter build to 100%.                        |
  |                                                                   |
  |  Use the Attack and Guard strategy on Nataie to lower her HP. Now |
  |  use a Volty Attack which should finish her off. Natalie is quite |
  |  easy to follow. She will attack, then jump backwards to evade an |
  |  attack. If she actually hits you, then she follows immediately   |
  |  by two other attacks dealing nearly 150 Damage.                  |
  |                                                                   |
  |  She'll use a Volty Attack when her HP is considerably low. This  |
  |  is First Class Flurry, which can deal almost 600 Damage. This    |
  |  either means have a Volty Attack ready, or use a Herb Extract    |
  |  when you see this Aura as it cannot be Guarded.                  |
  O ----------------------------------------------------------------- O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Leonard, Natalie, Heavy Guardsman (2)        |
  |                                                                   |
  | This battle requires that you be a little more strategic. This    |
  | time, Jack has three of the Light Elves for allies. Once the      |
  | battle has begun, Natalie will call a Square Link. This means     |
  | not only must you defeat Leonard and Natalie again, you must      |
  | defeat two Guardsmen as well, while watching the square very      |
  | closely so you do not find yourself in a beatdown.                |
  |                                                                   |
  | Not only this, but like the Rockdiggers in Earth Valley, the      |
  | enemy group will perform a massive whirlwind attack, dealing      |
  | significant damage, while attacking all your allies on the        |
  | field.                                                            |
  |                                                                   |
  | Start by attacking one of the Guardsmen. If you can take out a    |
  | Guardsman, the Link will be severed. The Guardsmen should be      |
  | pretty easy to take care of, Leonard should be on the one who     |
  | falls next, then finally Natalie with a quick Volty Attack.       |
  O ================================================================= O

  After the cutscene, you will be in the City of Flowers. Head uphill
  to the very end of the path. Lord Zane's House is at the far end of
  the path. The Light Elves should direct you.

  ====         ============
  CC02         Goblin Haven
  ====         ============

  West of the City of Flowers is the Nowem Region. West of the Nowem
  Region is the Forest Metropolis. Near the Forest Metropolis is the
  Sediche Region where Goblin Have awaits.

A   Remember to reform your party in the City of Flowers. In the same
    room where you can reform your party, look for the arrow on the
    left wall. Enter into the room to initiate a cutscene.

    It seems the shop owners won't let you pass, so it's back to Lord
    Zane. After speaking to Lord Zane, return to the Courtyard. Speak
    to the Dwarven Shopkeeper, Vladimir to the left of the Anteroom
    entrance. After speaking to Vladimir, enter the Anteroom to speak
    to Clarence. Return to speak to Lord Zane, then head back to the
    two shopkeepers to deliver the news.

  From the courtyard, enter through the center door on the left wall
  to the entrance of Fort Helencia. Speak to Coco. From the entrance
  of Fort Helencia, head south to the Cuatour Region.

  Follow the trail to the Nowem Region, then head south. Head across
  the river and continue following the trail to the left where that
  one Dark Elf previously neglected any passage through the Sediche
  Region. This may seem like a dead-end, but start to the very end
  of the path.

  Kick the tree to bring down a platform which takes you to the area
  above. Follow the path to another dead-end. There will be another
  platform that raises to a chest above. Now obtain the contents and
  continue to the left to the next area.

  Head south, take the platform to the level below, then proceed to
  the next area. Kick the tree to bring the platform down. Step on
  to the platform and enter Goblin Haven which is shortly ahead.
  Access the Save Point, Save, then continue through the northern

  | (Event) Boss Battle: Gawain                                       |
  |                                                                   |
  | You don't possibly stand a chance against Gawain. He will attack  |
  | Jack and quickly step back, so make sure one of your attacks on   |
  | the Attack List start with a quick thrust.                        |
  |                                                                   |
  | Like Natalie, Gawain has three attacks that deal critical damage, |
  | but nothing that can't be healed with a Herb Extract. Continue    |
  | attacking Gawain until he performs his Leo Smash Royale.          |
  |                                                                   |
  | This battle is finished.                                          |
  O ================================================================= O

  If you had lost against Gawain, you will be given a second chance.
  Remember to use attacks that deal a string of attacks in one turn,
  starting with a quick attacking, otherwise you will never hit him.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Gawain Continuation                          |
  |                                                                   |
  | Gawain should be much easier now that he is somewhat worn out.    |
  | I would suggest equipping a sword skill with a quick thrust,      |
  | rather than something that takes longer to thrust your sword.     |
  | Attack and Defend to build up your Volty Meter, and use attacks   |
  | such as Extension Aura.                                           |
  |                                                                   |
  | Attacking and Defending is a must to win this battle. Rushing in  |
  | to attack is suicide. If you lose the battle, step into the Aura  |
  | of Healing. You can then attempt to defeat Gawain again.          |

  ====         =============
  CC03         Fort Helencia
  ====         =============

  Access the Pig Statue and teleport back to Fort Helencia to initiate
  a cutscene.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Daniel, Jarvis                               |
  |                                                                   |
  | With Gawain in your party, just run into th pack ahead. You may   |
  | have some fun with this battle, just be sure to equip something   |
  | that attacks both Daniel and Jarvis at the same time.             |
  |                                                                   |
  | Attack Jarvis before Daniel, as Daniel is just as easy as when    |
  | you fought him previously. Jarvis can be taken out with a simple  |
  | Volty Attack, Daniel can be taken out without even breaking a     |
  | sweat.                                                            |
  O ================================================================= O

  You've been removed from the Guild, and have now been branded as a
  traitor to the Humans.

A   Speak to Naom just outside of Lord Zane's Room to add him to your
    Friends' List.

  Head back to Jack's Room in Fort Helencia and access the Save Point.
  Save, then Sleep, then return to the Courtyard.

A   Speak to Franz by the Friends' Sphere. He will be added to your
    Friends' List.

  Access the Items or Equipment Shop to restock on better equipment
  or more supplies, then from the courtyard, proceed out the door
  to the left. Speak to Mikey in the corner of this room for some
  short dialogue.

  ====         ================
  CC04         Algandars Castle
  ====         ================

  Our next stop is Algandars Castle. Access the Pig Statue outside
  of Fort Helencia and teleport to Earth Valley. Follow this trail
  through the Dova Region to the Adien Region. Turn at the second
  fork in the trail. You should now be heading towards the Septem
  Region.

  Keep following the main trail, past the Septem Cave, then north
  at the next fork. This should bring you to another trail with
  two more possible trails to follow. The northern trail is the
  path to Algandars Castle.

  Access the door directly in front of you. This takes you to a very
  large chamber with four possible paths to follow. The lower-right
  door takes you to a small room with a chest. A Lucky Charm can be
  found inside the chest.

  The upper-right chamber is a room that leads to a dead-end. Enter
  the south-center corridor as all the other rooms are empty. This
  initiates a cutscene. Continue down the stairs to a small chamber,
  then continue through the door to the right. This will initiate a
  cutscene.

  Start down the corridor, continue down the stairs and through the
  door to the next area. This brings you to another large chamber.
  Locate the large door in the center of this room and proceed to
  the next chamber.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: King Algandars                               |
  |                                                                   |
  | Don't say I didn't warn you. Oh, Wait, I didn't. The Demon is a   |
  | very powerful enemy, though if you can defeat it, then you are    |
  | ready for just about anything in this game.                       |
  |                                                                   |
  | Stay behind the Demon and keep your party healed. This way, your  |
  | allies will receive all the damage, and you can focus more on     |
  | the Crystals. If the Demon turns towards you, then quickly Guard  |
  | to avoid any unneccessary damage.                                 |
  |                                                                   |
  | When you start breaking enough crystals, the Demon starts to get  |
  | somewhat desperate. Electricity will begin to glow around him.    |
  | Immediately get behind the demon to avoid this attack.            |
  O ================================================================= O

  Return to Fort Helencia to initiate a cutscene. Return to Jack's Room,
  access the Save Point, Save, then Sleep.

  ====         =============
  CC05         Fire Mountain
  ====         =============

  The quickest way to Fire Mountain is through the Dorse Region. Access
  the Pig Stone just outside. Enter the Goblin City and exit the other
  side. Follow the trail through to the Dichette Region. This will then
  initiate a cutscene.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Elwen                                        |
  |                                                                   |
  | Time to fight the Theatre Vancoor Guild Master. She will easily   |
  | deal a string of critical blows, so it might be a good idea to    |
  | have a Volty Attack ready.                                        |
  |                                                                   |
  | Just give this battle all you've got. You will not get Game Over  |
  | for being defeated.                                               |
  O ================================================================= O

  Remember to Heal after finishing this battle so you don't fall victim
  against one of the easier enemies. Your first instinct may be to head
  foward, but you can find Scale Armor in a chest behind you. Now start
  down the western trail, and do not turn until you see a lava fountain,
  with a shifting platform to the left.

A   Crossing the shifting platform to the left brings Jack to a chest
    containing a Life Berry.

  Head to the right just a bit, then continue up the northern trail to
  come to come to another two-way path.

A   If you are in need of fire resistance, then proceed down the path
    to the right to a chest that contains Scale Armor.

  Following the west trail, you will find a shifting platform almost
  before where the camera and the path begins to turn. Now step on
  to the shifting platform, then follow the trail into Fire Mountain.
  Once in Fire Mountain, follow the trail leading off to the left to
  initiate a cutscene.

  | (Event) Battle Scene: Female Knight, Male Knight, Round Knight    |
  |                                                                   |
  | This is a pretty basic battle so there isn't really must needed   |
  | to be said. Just keep your allies healed with Circle Song or a    |
  | Moon Stone. Use attacks that can attack more than one target at   |
  | the same time, and remember to use the Attack / Guard strategy.   |
  O ================================================================= O

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Cross, Male Knights                          |
  |                                                                   |
  | You really have to watch out for Cross's Celistal Line. Victory   |
  | depends on how well your characters are levelled at the present   |
  | time. Since Celestial Line will be used early within the battle,  |
  | you would immeidately be defeated against this attack, as this    |
  | attack delivers over 1200 Damage.                                 |
  |                                                                   |
  | Fortunately, losing against Cross does not mean a Game Over. It   |
  | just means that you need to spend a while levelling up Jack.      |
  O ================================================================= O

  Two more are added to you Friend's List. Access the Save Point, Save,
  then Sleep. Head to Lord Zane's Room and speak to Gawain to initiate
  a cutscene.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Gawain                                       |
  |                                                                   |
  | He will evade most of Jack's attacks same as before, so you will  |
  | need to corner him to stop him from jumping out of range. He can  |
  | still use the Leo Smash Royale, which can pretty much end the     |
  | Battle.                                                           |
  |                                                                   |
  | Gawain is pretty much the same as before, only now he deals more  |
  | damage in his attacks.                                            |
  O ================================================================= O

  Return to Jack's Room, Save, then Sleep. Exit Fort Helencia through
  the eastern passage in the Courtyard to initiate a cutscene.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Knight Brigade                               |
  |                                                                   |
  | The same as before in Fire Mountain. This time you can give your  |
  | new Arbitrator a try. These Knights are a simply pushover. There  |
  | may be quite a few, but using the Arbitrator, the sword is quite  |
  | quick.                                                            |
  |                                                                   |
  | The Knights have a pretty strong attack, so remember to use the   |
  | Attack / Guard command.                                           |
  O ================================================================= O

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Cross                                        |
  |                                                                   |
  | Since we are aware of the devestating attack that Cross performs, |
  | I would suggest focusing your attacks on him, while your allies   |
  | are focused more on the Guards.                                   |
  |                                                                   |
  | With the Arbitrator now in hand, press the Square Button after    |
  | Cross begins his Volty Attack. Keep doing this until he stops     |
  | casting his Volty Attack.                                         |
  |                                                                   |
  | He'll eventually call a Kamikaze Link, which means "Kill them     |
  | Recklessly". You may actually be able to win this battle with     |
  | some strategy as long as you keep breaking Cross's Volty Attack.  |
  O ================================================================= O

  Return to speak to Ganz, then speak to Lord Zane, then enter Jack's
  Room. Save, then Sleep, then speak to everyone within Fort Helencia.
  After speaking to everyone in Fort Helencia, the story continues.
  After reading the letter, Save, then Sleep.

  Follow the path and exit this area. Head south and follow the trail
  back to Fort Helencia. Return to Jack's Room, Save, then Sleep. The
  story will then continue.

  ====         ====================
  CC06         City of White Nights
  ====         ====================

  This will be a pretty distant walk. Teleport to the Adien Region to
  begin towards to City of White Nights. From there, follow the path
  and do not make any turns until you have passed the Septem Cave.
  Turn at the path just after the Septem Cave, but before the small
  village.

  Head south once the path begins to split, then cross the bridge to
  the Dysett Region. Continue down the path to initiate a cutscene.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Gerald                                       |
  |                                                                   |
  | This isn't Jarvis, and his attacks can become pretty poweful. You |
  | might remember fighting Gerald if you ever kicked him purposely   |
  | to make him upset.                                                |
  |                                                                   |
  | Attack and Guard won't work as easily here, as Gerald can easily  |
  | break your Guard. If you see Gerald begin his Volty Attack, then  |
  | immediately knock him down, and continue to do so until he stops, |
  | otherwise his Dual Wave Blade can immediately knock out one of    |
  | your party members.                                               |
  |                                                                   |
  | Just continue pummeling at Gerald. You shouldn't get a Game Over  |
  | for losing, as that Dual Wave Blade will come more than once in   |
  | this battle.                                                      |
  O ================================================================= O

  The City of White Nights should be shortly ahead, be sure to access
  the Pig Stone and head back to Fort Helencia if you need to restock
  on items. Continue onward to initiate a cutscene.

  O ================================================================= O
  | (Event) Boss Battle: Cross                                        |
  |                                                                   |
  | Unfortunately, Cross will use his attack at the beginning of the  |
  | battle this time, so you must be quick on your feet.              |
  |                                                                   |
  | Since we are aware of the devestating attack that Cross performs, |
  | I would suggest focusing your attacks on him, while your allies   |
  | are focused more on the Guards.                                   |

  |                                                                   |
  | He'll eventually call a Kamikaze Link, which means "Kill them     |
  | Recklessly". You may actually be able to win this battle with     |
  | some strategy as long as you keep breaking Cross's Volty Attack.  |
  | If you lose this battle, it's a Game Over.                        |

  City of White Nights Maze. Keep in mind that certain ladders will
  crumble, and stepping on to the falling sand will cause you to fall
  one or more levels below.

  CC07         Gold Dragon Castle
  ====         ==================

  To save the pain of having to do all that again I'd seriously consider
  accessing the Save Point and using the HP Aura. Continue up the stairs
  to initiate a cutscene. Continue to the very top of the monument. Once
  at the top, another cutscene will begin.

  \ (Event) Final Boss: Silver Dragon, Lucian                         /
  /                                                                   \
  \ Lucian is on Auto-Regain, which basically means that staying idle /
  / for too long is bad. Lucian attacks around 250 Damage on a normal \
  \ attack. Criticals, well that's another story. Guards will nullify /
  / this to around 50 Damage.                                         \
  \                                                                   /
  / If you see him close up for a short period of time, immediately   \
  \ get out from his sight. Go behind him or something to avoid a     /
  / devestating attack. Your attacks tend to miss quite a bit, but    \
  \ Lucian's attacks are also pretty slow.                            /
  /                                                                   \
  \ He has around 18,000 HP, and regains HP pretty quickly, so this   /
  / will either be a pretty long battle, or a pretty short one. The   \
  \ strategy here is to keep circling around Lucian so he can't get   /
  / a proper attack on Jack.                                          \
  \                                                                   /
  / Use Volty Attacks the moment they become available. Lucian will   \
  \ regain his HP way too quickly to be wasing time with regular      /
  / attacks. Though Army of Shadows works, using Limit Break may tend \
  \ to be much more useful.                                           /
