INTRO CRAP
===============================================================================
Hm, the main reason I made this FAQ is because the game is so awesome and
there's no full walkthrough for the english version yet. English isn't my
first language so there will definitely be grammar mistakes/typos, sorry for
that. The xxabcxx thing is to make the search function easier.
If you have questions about the FAQ, you can contact me at:
depthchargex at gmail.com
Please note that I am not updating the FAQ anymore, so you don't need to send
me mails about missing items anymore. (If you still want to send it that's ok,
I still read them, it's just that I won't update it to the FAQ).

b) Version
Version: 1.00
History: Beta- FAQ started at 10th of October 2004.
0.80- FAQ completed at 1st of November 2004... so that means I've been
working for 3 weeks... Ok the main quest walkthru is fully
completed, there are 2 stuff that are under construction, 1.
Joachim's special items, and the Gama Ring sidequest... I'll
prolly update them in a week. I *might* include a complete
monster list in the future, but I can't guarantee it really,
feedback would be appreciated.
0.90- 2nd of November...
A load of typos fixed. Joachim's special items, the Man Festival
sidequest and Black Panties entrty completed. Some minor stuff

can snap tho...
0.91- Lots of minor stuff is fixed, I just found out the usefulness of
Blood Jewel after my friend told me about it, extremely useful
on tough battles with Spikes. 40 monster entries added. A full
53 character entries added.
0.92- Fixed some mistakes, including the requirements for Karin's
alternate outfit. More monster entries added, man, writing this
section is definitely the hardest, it's so damn boring and I
almost felt asleep a few times.... well thanks to the SH2 OST
and the FMA songs I should be able to complete them, slowly.
Trivia Quizzes added. Elemental Strengths and Weaknesses added.
0.93- Monster List is finally completed... Sorry for the huge delay..
Been playing World of Warcraft Open Beta and the game sure is

WALKTHROUGH(xxwalxx)
===============================================================================
***VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: The direction I give in my walkthrough is based on
the mini map on your top right corner because the camera is always moving. If
there's no mini map then the direction is given based on the screen.
Remember to look at your mini map!****
I'll try to make the walkthrough as spoiler-free as possible, I will not
explain the cutscenes and stuff cuz you can watch those yourself. However, it's
not 100% spoiler free as there are names, places etc. Don't complain if your
spoiled.
Apoina Tower(xxaptxx)
---------------------
Items: Thera Leaf, Talisman Of Luck, Mana Leaf, Hit Area Expand, Attack Boost,
Pure Leaf, Tent
Monsters: Revenant, Statue
A save point right a head of you. Directly at the save point's left(you need to
go up the spiral stairs) you can find a Thera Leaf in a chest. On the right
of the save point(needa go up the stairs again)is a talisman of luck. Remember
to press X when you see a question mark on your head. Now go to the door on the
right side of the map. Follow the path until you reach a big room. On the lower
left corner of this room is a chest containing a Mana Leaf. Another chest on
the upper right corner contains a Hit Area Expand.
Now continue your way on the very right side of the map up to a stairs. On the
way you should encounter Ring Soul for the first time. It gives you an attack
boost everytime you bump into him. It's an item that gives additional attack.
Follow the linear path until you reach a large glowing thingie on the floor.
It's some sort of teleportation device, but don't teleport yet, on the right
of the teleport thing lies a chest containing a Pure Leaf. Now press X on the
teleport device. You should notice the save point on the map. Just beside the
save point you will find a Tent. Remember to press X to get it. Now save and go
north and prepare for your first boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Boss: GARGOYLE |
|HP: 140 MP: 90 |
|Element: Dark |
|Difficulty: Piece of Cake |
|Reward: Pure Seed |
| Thera Seed(Ring No Miss Victory) |
| |
|He should be a piece of cake, just keep whacking until he drops, heal when |
|necessary. But keep an eye on Karin's SP, most likely she'll turn berserk |
|before you can finish him so use a pure leaf on her. Remember a berserk |
|character will not gain any exp even if you win the fight. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Domremy(xxdomxx)
----------------
Items: Mana Leaf, Thera Leaf, Hit Area Expand, Talisman of Luck, Strike Area
Expand, Tent, Thera Seed, Pure Leaf
Monsters: Ducky Toy, Wooden Lion
You won't be able to go back to Apoina Tower until later. Anyway Domremy should
pop up on your world map. Save and go there.
Take a left on the fork. You should be able to see a chest. It contains a Mana
Leaf. Go southeast a bit and then take the north path. Keep following until you
reach a fork. Take the northeast path to find a Thera Leaf on the floor. Return
to the fork and go northwest. There's a Hit Area Expand on the soldier's left
at a corner. Now go to the solder's right and go north.
On the next area, the soldier you bump into will heal you. Directly on his left
is a Talisman of Luck(beside some barrels). Go up a bit and then turn right
to find a chest containing Strike Area Expand. Go back to the main path and go
north until you find a big hollow space between 2 houses. There lies a chest
containing a Tent. Now follow the main path up north. Keep going until you
reach a well. On its left is a chest containing a Thera Seed. From the well go
north a bit then turn right and go south(going behind the house) to get a Pure
Leaf from the chest. Follow the main path and go north. Save and go to the
church. Enjoy the cutscene.
Ardennes Forest(xxarfxx)
------------------------
Items: Focalor Crest, Andras Crest, Furfur Crest, Hit Area Expandx2, Soul
Benedictionx2, Pure Leaf, Mana Leaf, Thera Leaf, Barbatos Crest, Battery
, Leather Cap, Tent
Monsters: Death Snail, Skeeter, Zosim
Talk to Gepetto. You will get Focalor Crest, Andras Crest and Furfur Crest. Now
follow the path down, remember to save along. The forest is very confusing so
I made a map for it.

[]: Lift
S: Save Point
1: Hit Area Expand(It's on the floor on the bridge, next to the save point)
2: Soul Benediction(Check the note on the wall, just before you go to the lift)
3: Pure Leaf(In a chest)
4: Mana Leaf(In a chest)
5: Thera Leaf(In a chest)
6: Soul Benediction(In a chest)
7: Barbatos Crest(In a chest)
8: Battery(You need to before you can use the lift), you don't need it if you
take the path north at the first fork.
9: Hit Area Expand(The path to it is hidden, so just keep going right when your
going that way in order to bump into it)
10: Leather Cap, Tent(You'll need to get these after beating the boss. Take
the lift to the highest level)
P: Puzzle. Simple, your goal is to make all 3 bars facing down. If you can't
figure it out, the right way to do it is to push them in this sequence:
right>middle>left. The bridge can be crossed then.
When you reach the "boss" area, there will be a cutscene. Now is the first time
for you to pick a fusion for Yuri, I suggest Earth(or Fire) since it has the
best physical stats. After that... there will be a boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: ARACHNE |
|HP: 300 MP:77 |
|Element: Earth |
|Difficulty: Easy |
|Reward: Poison 1, Vassago Crest |
| |
|Hm, unless you really suck at rings, try to aim for the strike area. And if |
|you don't miss and stuff, he should be down pretty fast. He can poison tho, |
|so use Blanca to remove it. And dun forget to try out Yuri's fusion too, but |
|keep an eye on his SP as they drain out very fast when your starting SP is so|
|low, and the usual healing when needed. Nothing much to worry. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go back to the lift and ride it to the top level. You should be able to find
Leather Cap and Tent there. Just press X around.
Paris(xxparxx)
------------
Items: Mr. Sommelier, Fleuret, Nibelung Prelude, Crosell Crest, Thera Leaf,
Hit Area Expand
Monsters: Clawed Soldiers
Paris will now appear on your world map, so go there. After some cutscene, you
will be thrown into a fight. Don't worry, it's nothing major, just 3 Clawed
Soldiers to boot. They are too easy to be considered as a boss fight so I am
not gonna list down 20 strategies, just do anything you want.
After the battle and all the cutscnes you should receive 3 items automatically,
Mr. Sommelier, Fleuret(Karin's weapon) and Nibelung Prelude. Just beside the
save point lies a chest containing Crosell Crest. Go to the door just beside
the save point, there's a chest inside containing a Thera Leaf. Now leave the
house.
Continue the path until you see stairs on the right. If you go south, you'll be
forced to fight some Clawed Soldiers. I wouldn't say the game needs much
leveling so just just take the right path and you'll reach a hatch thing.
Examine it. Follow the linear path until you reach the subway station. Leave
the area by the stairs and you'll reach the city. Climb the stairs, your
destination is the door halfway thru the stairs, but don't go in yet. Continue
walking to the highest part will pop you a Hit Area Expand. Now enter the cafe.
After the cutscene, go to the underground station. On the way, you'll be
approached and the Wolf Bout Sidequest will be triggered. Check out the side-
quest section about Wolf Bout if you wanna know more.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Wolf Bout 1: Tetsu |
|Reward: Soul Comet learnt |
|Location: Paris, near the subway station, triggered automatically |
| |
|Try to equip yourself with a healing crest, just to save healing items. But |
|if your good at doing strike areas, you won't even need to heal at all cuz |
|you can definitely finish him before he kills you. My Blanca is at level 4. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now go take the train to Champ Elysees.
Paris, Champ Elysees(xxpchxx)
-----------------------------
Items: P-Defend Down 1, Thera Leaf, Haures Crest, Tent, SP-Defend Down 1,
Attack Boost, Pure Leaf, Shell Bracelet, Strike Expand, Pocket Watch,
Phoenix Tails, Talisman of Luck, Amy Crest, Fuse, Soul Benediction
Monsters: Clawed Soldiers, Sting, Ekimmu
Remember the worker on your left. Leave the station. Go to the 2 red shirt guys
on your right. From now on Gerard will be selling you items and Pierre will
make dresses for Gepetto's puppet Cornelia if you have stud cards. Try to buy
the weapons for an upgrade if you can afford, then head to the left side of
the stairs(near the 2 big brown doors) and you'll get P-Defend Down 1. Continue
the path until you see a red car on the side of the street. The lamp post
beside it lies a Thera Leaf. Now go all the way down the street until you
cannot advance. The door on the screen is the hotel you need to go.
There's a save point there. Just beside the reception desk lies a chest
containing Haures Crest, you should be able to see part of the chest. Now go
all the way up the stairs and go to the lower right room. You should be able
to spot a chest between the beds, it contains a Tent. Talk to the old man.
After the scene. Go back to the station and talk the worker I told you to
remember earlier. He'll let you pass now. Follow the linear path and you'll
reach the confusing little tunnels... time for map.

start
1: SP-Defend Down 1(It's in a chest beside the cart blocking the path)
2: Attack Boost(By Ring Soul)
3: Strike Expand(It's in a chest on the right side of the map. You should be
able to see part of the chest), Shell Bracelet(examine the light bulb
hanging there)
4: Pocket Watch(In a chest)
5: Talisman of Luck(In a chest)
6: Phoenix Tail(In a chest)
7: Amy Chest(In a chest)
8: Pure Leaf(It's somewhere close to the light bulb, look around it)
A: Switch
X: Position of cart before flipping the switch
Y: Position of cart after flipping the switch
Z: Cart that needs a fuse
Your goal is to reach exit 1 first. To do it, you must flip the switch at A. To
collect all the treasures refer to the map. When you reach exit 1 you'll find
a ladder, climb it. You'll then reach the surface. Go down the stairs. You
should be able to see a save point. At the left corner lies a Soul Benediction.
Go into the shop, talk to the man and he would give you the fuse. He sells
items as well. This junk dealer sells really neat stuff when the final dungeon
appears.
Now go all the way back to the place where you need the fuse(Z). On the way you
will be attacked by 3 Clawed Soldiers, normal stuff. Put in the fuse and now
the path is cleared. Follow the path and you'll find a save point. Heal up cuz
there's a boss fight next. Now use the cart and enjoy the cutscene.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: CASTOR, POLLUX |
|Castor- HP: 275 MP: 100 Pollux- HP: 275 MP: 100 |
|Element: Fire, Water(respectively) |
|Difficulty: Normal |
|Reward: Tent, Sitri Crest, Zepar Crest, Lottery Ticket |
| |
|They do pretty good dmg, and might even kill one of your characters instantly|
|if you fall into their combos, so be careful. Remember to give Gepetto fire |
|and water spells and use them to your advantage. Focus on taking one out |
|first. They are a bit harder than the 2 boss fights you had earlier but it's |
|nothing too hard. Just don't miss the ring and you'll be fine. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Le Havre(xxlehxx)
-----------------
Items: Seal of Force, Pure Leaf, Thera Seed, Attack Boost, Wool Coat, Bathin
Crest(lottery), Hit Area Expand, Strike Expand, Star Brooch, Lottery
Ticket, Thera Leaf, Agares Crest, Gremory Crest.
Monsters: Fat Thug, Thugs
Go down the stairs. The lamp post at the south corner(beside the shop) has a
Seal of Force. After upgrading your stuff from Gerard, go southeast. Check the
barrels on your right for a Pure Leaf. Follow the path to the end and you
should spot a chest on the upper right corner. It contains a Thera Seed. At the
right corner(keep going right from the chest) hides the Ring Soul. Press X to
get an Attack Boost.
Now go back to the place where Gerard is and head north. There's a save point
and a fork beside it. Take the northwest path first. At the end of the path is
a chest containing Wool Coat. There's also a tent on the left(information
provided by "lim k .c" <
[email protected]>). Go back to the fork and take the
southwest path. You will be approached by Lottery Member #16. Be sure to reload
and keep trying until you get Bathin Crest.
Now keep going until you reach a big house. But don't enter the door yet. Go
right and you should spot a black door. At the right of the door(beside some
chests) is Hit Area Expand. Now enter the black door. On the left lies Strike
Expand(jam the X button to bump into it). At the end of the path is a chest
containing a Star Brooch. Now enter the house thru the main door. Keep going
and a cutscene will take over. After that, examine the bear's head on the floor
to get a Lottery Ticket. Now go to the north of the room, examine the Mayor's
picture to get a Thera Leaf. Now talk to one of the man to initiate the patrol.
Go out and save, now go to the area where you found the Ring Soul. Now go back
to the save point, on the way there will be an event. Now go to the place where
you find the Wool Coat(north), get ready for a boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: GRAND PAPILLON |
|HP: 355 MP: 55 |
|Element: Earth |
|Difficulty: Easy |
|Reward: P-Attack Down 1, Seal of Vitality |
| Tent(high combo hits, I did 25) |
| |
|He's all about physical damage. Nothing hard, just give all the attack you |
|can. When he's damaged, he might use "Drain Touch", a skill that leeches some|
|HP from you, but it's not really a lot anyway. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now go the south area(the Ring Soul place) for an event. When you gain control
of your character. Go to the northwest corner(looks like a door) to pick up a
Mana Leaf(I wonder why ppl litter in their own stores O_O). Now go back to talk
to the Mayor. Be sure to save cuz there will be a fight. Nothing major, just
some fat/thin thugs. Geppeto's AOE(area of effect) spell can clear a few of
them together instantly. Now go back to Joachim's shop. Joachim will join your
party from now on and he comes with 2 crest, Agares and Gremory. Exit the town
and head to the Wine Cellar.
Wine Cellar(xxwicxx)
--------------------
Items: Seal of Wisdom, Bhodi Bracelet, Mana Seed, Lottery Ticket, Thera Seed,
Silver Bracelet, Pure Seed, Raum Crest, Sallos Crest
Monsters: Thug, Fat thug, Gregor, Roach Queen, Centipede
Follow the straight path and save. You'll be thrown into a fight automatically.
Just those usual thugs. Waste them and head thru the door. Keep going north
ignoring until you reach and dead end and turn left. Take the stairs to the
left, but don't enter the door yet, instead, take the ladders up beside the
door, you should be able to find a Seal of Wisdom in a chest at the end. Now
exit to the door. And the left most side is a chest containing a Bhodi Bracelet
Now go back to the main path where you ignore the 2 right turns at first.
Take the upper right turn and follow the path. Go north when you see a fork.
Keep going north ignoring the first fork. Turn right at the second juction to
go into a room. Take the stairs at the lower left corner into the next section.
Now go all the way to the upper right corner of the room(look at your mini map)
to get a Mana Seed in a chest. You can't enter the door on the right yet, so
move the switch beside it to bring the ladder down. Go up the ladder and walk
to the end to find another switch. Move it and the door will be unlocked.
Now go into the door. At the right side of the room is a chest containing
Lottery Ticket. Now go all the way back to the main path. Go south and take
the left turn at the first fork now. Follow the linear path until you reach a
fork where you can turn left to go into a room. You should be able to spot a
chest right away beside some barrels under the stairs. In contains a Thera Seed
The stairs cannot be used yet, so follow the only available path to the end
to find a switch to bring it down. Now take the stairs and go to the next room.
At the north of this room is a chest that contains a Silver Bracelet.
Go back to the main path and head north whenever you get the chance. Save point
is at your left in this room. Now take the stairs on the right. Move the switch
when your on the stairs. You should see the left stairs has been brought down.
Go there and move the switch under the left stairs, now you can cross over to
the other side. If you move the switch at the upper left of the room, the left
second part of the left stairs will be brought down and the first part of the
right stairs will be brought up. Go back to the save point and head right then
north. Enter the door beneath the stairs.
Now head down and go to the right to find a switch under the stairs. Climb it
and you should see another switch on your way. Move it. Now go north to take
the stairs to find yet another switch on the way. What a hassle. Now go south
and take the stairs to cross to the other side of the room. But do not go into
the door yet. Instead, head down under the south stairs to find another switch.
Go all the way back to the north stairs to find a chest at the end of the path.
It has a Pure Seed. Now go into the door on the right side of the room. At the
right side of the room is a chest containing Raum Crest.
Now go all the way back to the save point. Remember to save cuz there will be
2 boss fights later. Now head over to the doors at north. Keep heading north
for an event.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: VERONICA |
|HP: 220 MP: 90 |
|Element: Water |
|Difficulty: Pushover |
|Reward: Sp-Attack Down 1 |
| |
|Keep in mind you will be only using Grand Papillon(Joachim) in this fight. |
|This fight is easy as heck if you can hit perfect rings constantly, you don't|
|even need to heal anything cuz she will be down before you. If you are stingy|
|about using HP healing items, you might wanna equip a healing crest. Either |
|way, Drain Touch works altho it drains quite little. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that... another Boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: MEURSAULT, with 2 minions Gregor and Centipede |
|HP: 666 MP: 170 |
|Element: Wind |
|Difficulty: Normal |
|Reward: Sallos Crest |

|Take out the minions first. Turn Yuri into a fusion monster as usual, I'd say|
|Earth or Fire since they have the best physical stats. After the frog is |
|isolated, combo as much as you can. He's quite annoying tho cuz he can para- |
|lyse your party member, so use Soul Benediction to clear it off. Other than |
|that, he's not too much of a threat. His Howling does like 30++ dmg so it's |
|nothing major. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the event, go to the Sea Gull, you'll get Solomon's Key. Talk the sailor
beside the save point to go to Port of Southampton. For more info about Solomon
's Key check the sidequest. There are 2 also sidequests available at the Wine
Cellar now, the Wolf Bout and the Lucky Box game. Check the sidequest section
for the latter.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Wolf Bout 2: Kelly |
|Reward: Soul Comet powered up |
|Location: Wine Cellar, place where you fight Veronica and the giant frog, |
| Available after you beat the frog. |
| |
|Be sure to have pocket watch equip, other than that, it's nothing too hard. |
|You'll receive Strike Expand, Seal of Luck |

Mr. Detective
Monsters: N/A
Nothing much to do except head for the inn. When you get back control of your
party, grab Hit Area Expand from the chest under the stairs. Now go upstairs.
The first room contains Mr. Detective stud card. Kato stays in the next room,
talk to him to trigger an event.
After that, leave the inn. Lottery member #15 is beside the Magimel Brothers.
Nothing really good the old woman has, just slow 1 on the red. At the woman's
right lies a Lottery Ticket, check on the posters on the wall for it. Upgrade
your stuff from Gerrard. Talk to the guy standing beside the stairs(he was
blocking you before) for Nibelung Scene 4. Now go up the stairs for an event.
After that, you'll get a Dried Straw, which starts the trading quest. Again
check the sidequest for more info. From there walk to the lower right corner
for a Leonardo's Bear. Now go down and check on the lion statue beside the exit
for Strike Expand. After getting all the items, go to the upper left corner of
the town. Here you will find Joachim's teacher Gama, he will give you new
Muscle Arts if you met the right condition. Before you fight him, remember to
equip Joachim a Leonardo's Bear cuz his Grand Slam has a chance to kill you
instantly, if you beat him here for the first time, you'll get Grand Slam. At
your level it would be still quite hard to get another skill so come back later
Check his sidequest for more info. After beating the crap out of him, check
the left side of the area for a Seal of Aura, it's in a chest. Just below the
chest, there's a shiny pillar thingie, examine it and you'll get Joachim a new
weapon Locker. Now Leave Southampton for Rhondda Mine.

|BOSS: GRIMLOCK |
|HP: 780 MP: 215 |
|Element: Dark |
|Difficulty: Normal |
|Reward: Murmur Crest |
| Replacement Man(bonus for high combo hits, around 19+, info provided |
| by
[email protected]) |
| |
|He's very naughty cuz he likes to cast Gale on himself and use Slow on your |
|party. His Heaven, Hell's Eye spell does like 50 dmg, which should drain like|
|half of your character's HP. Nothing much you can do to counter so combo as |
|much as you can and heal up. If you have gale you might wanna put it on the |
|slowed character to negate the effect. My party is at level 10 when I beat |
|him and it's definitely not tough. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the fight, at the cutscene you should know notice a chest. It's kinda
hard to describe but just go back a few steps and you should see a lil bit of
the chest beside the huge pillar at the middle of the map. It contains a Seal
of Strength. After your satisfied, exit the area and now Wales will be availa-
ble on the world map.
Wales(xxwa1xx)
--------------
Items: Seal of Life, Attack Boost, Hit Area Expand, Bear Claw, Lottery Ticket,
Forneus Crest
Monsters: N/A
Open the chest beside you for a Seal of Life. Continue the way down until you
reach a fork. Go right and grab Hit Area Expand from the chest. Now go back to
the main path and continue down and you'll see an odd looking home. On the
right of the door of that house hides the Ring Soul. Now run to the very left
of the map. You should spot a chest lying there; it contains Bear Claw. Now
enter the house. After the cutscene, go down(left stairs) and save. Try to
avoid the red stairs going down as it will bring you to a fight automatically.
Now run to the south of this place to find a Lottery Ticket on the table. No
run anticlockwise around the table and you should see a chest at the far right.
It contains Forneus Crest. Now leave the house. After the cutscene you'll be
thrown into a boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: LENNY, with 2 minions Clawed Commander |
|HP: 570 MP: 0 |
|Element: Earth |
|Difficulty: So-so |
|Reward: Paralysis 1 |
| Chainmail Vest(Bonus for high combo hits, info provided by |
|
[email protected]) |
| |
|As usual, take out the 2 Clawed Commander first, they should be dead in one |
|or 2 turns(around 60++ hp I guess). Now Lenny isn't crap. He can paralyze |
|your party member so equip Bhodi Bracelet if you like but most likely you |
|won't be able to equip everyone. Remove the paralysis by using either Soul |
|Benediction or Heal magic. His physical attack is quite damaging as well but |
|it's not as annoying as paralysis definitely. Combo when you can and keep an |
|eye on Karin's SP. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing much left to do, so leave the place and head to Florence.
Florence(xxfloxx)

Check the upper left statue in the room for Strike Expand. Leave the place.
At the left of the exit you come out is a chest containing Thera Seed. Now go
right and you should see a fountain. North of it between 2 chairs lies Vepar
Crest. Now walk around to find someone who looks like a maid. Talk to her to
snatch Mr. Matador stud card. Talk to a man south of the fountain to get
Nibelung Scene 7. Head all the way to the right. There's a chest beside the
Magimel that contains Bat's Gold. No new weapons yet, but be sure to upgrade
your armors from Gerard. You should be able to see a wolf on their right.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Wolf Bout 3: Jerome |
|Reward: Soul Comet powered up |
|Location: Florence, beside the Magimel brothers |
| |
|Not sure if Blanca is overleveled or what, but this has got to be the easiest|
|wolf ever, at max he does like 20 dmg and he might seal but just a few turns |
|should be enough to take him out. You get Seal 1 from him too. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the wolf head left and examine the red door for a Lottery Ticket.
---
Trading Miniquest:
Talk to the man beside the wolf to exchange your Dried Straw for Underground
Film.

When you attempt to leave the town, you'll be approached by Rooney and get a

Now leave the town.
Manmariana Island(xxmaixx)
--------------------------
Items: Hit Area Expand, Pure Seed, Seal of the Soul, Lottery Ticket, Attack
Boost, Star Key, Fifth Key, Petrify 1, Thera Seed, Feather Bracelet
Monsters: Domovoi, Katherine, Fortune Stick
Start by going north. Follow the path until you entered a weird looking house.
After the scene you'll be thrown into a fight automatically. Nothing much, just
some random monsters you would encounter anyway. After kicking their butt, open
the chest on the upper left corner for Hit Area Expand. Now continue north, but
ignore the door you see and go right instead and go into the door at the end.
In this room, there's a chest at the right of the door exiting north. It
contains a Pure Seed. Now exit the door leading north.
Continue your way north until you reach a fork. At the left of the fork,
examine the lamp looking thing for a Seal of the Soul. Now take the right turn
at the fork. Grab the chest at the middle of the room for Libra Tile, Aries
Tile and Capricorn Tile, you'll need them later. After that, go to the lower
left of the room to snatch a Lottery Ticket lying beside a vase. Now examine
the north of the wooden table in the middle of the room for the Ring Soul. Exit
the room to the left and go north this time. Keep going north and you'll reach
a room with a chest lying in front of you. It contains Star Key. Now go back
all the way to the first area(where the save point is) and take the left door
this time.
You should see some food at the middle of the room, they do more bad than good
stuff anyway so avoid them, try it if your too curious. Exit to the door at
north and keep going. Again, take a left at the fork into a room. Grab the
chest at the end of the room for Sagittarius Tile, Pisces Tile and Scorpio Tile
Head back to the main path and go north.
After the scene, Karin would have gave you a hint to the answer. Well if you
can't figure it out, Gepetto is the one with Blood AB. Do not use other
character to open the door as the you will miss a sorta neat item. Now open the
2 obvious chests lying ahead of you for Leo Tile, Gemini Tile, Cancer Tile and
Petrify 1(this is the item you'll miss if you used the wrong person to open the
door). Now go back to the first area and go thru the north door you ignored
initially. Grab the chest in front of you for the last 3 tiles namely Virgo
Tile, Aquaris Tile and Taurus Tile.
Now approach the doors. Your goal is to put the right tiles to unlock
it. The hints should be sufficient and you should probably find them out for
the fun of it. Anyway here are the answers:
Left Door-
|Gemini| |Sagittarius| |Leo|
Middle Door-
left part:
|Taurus|
|Capricorn|
|Aries|
right party:
|Scorpio|
|Cancer|
|Pisces|
Right Door-
|Virgo|
|Aquarius|
|Libra|
After solving the puzzles, start by taking the left door. At the end of the
path is a chest containing Fifth Key. Now go back and take the middle door. You
should see a chest on your left, open it for a Thera Seed. Now head north and
save cuz there will be a boss fight later. Be sure to check the southwest
corner for a Feather Bracelet(info provided by
[email protected]).
Afterwards, go north.

|Reward: Beleth Crest |
| Western Belt(Bonus for high combo hits, info provided by |

| |
|For a kitty it packs quite a punch. As usual, fuse Yuri and keep comboing. |
|One thing very annoying is that it likes to mess up your ring by giving nasty|
|effect like fake ring so be sure to clear them off. Another annoying thing is|
|that it steals money! Yea it does no damage but the amount it take isn't |
|little =| Oh well I don't think you can prevent that so just finish him ASAP.|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the cutscene you'll get Purson Crest, Ocean Oil, Misty Oil automatically.
Lucia will join your party permanently as well and you get Aim Crest. Now if
you wish, you can revisit the place where you fought Andre and there should be
a chest to the left of the locked up Andre for a Mana Seed(info provided by

Enter the door. In this room, there's a chest lying beside the upper right
pillar(look at your minimap), it contains Delay 1. Now enter the door on the
right.
First check on the left side of the piano, there's a chest containing Uvall
Crest. Wee from now on you can use Arc Cure. Now it's time to examine some of
the stuff in this room. Examine and read the blue book at the lower right
corner of the map(corrected by
[email protected]).
Now examine the clock and give the answer(9 o'clock) and the clock becomes an
elevator. There are other books you can read and other answers to give but only
the 9 o'clock answer will trigger the elevator.
Run all the way to the left until you see it turns to south. Examine the
picture at the junction. Now examine the blue color thing on the left of your
minimap and flip it. Exit the room(examining the picture again) and go right.
Head north at the first fork(before that was a dead end) and enter the door
leading east. Now go to the lower right corner of the area. On the left side
of the bookshelves hides a Lottery Ticket. At the lower left corner is a chest
containing Thera Root. From there go up to the middle of the room. Examine the
floor around there to find the password.
Now go back to the secret room and examine the switch you did earlier and enter
the password. Leave the room and head south. Exit to the door on the right. At
the upper right corner is a switch you need to check. Before going down, check
the upper left corner for a chest containing Hit Area Expand. Now go downstairs
At the left side of this room has Strongoids in a chest. Now go to the upper
left corner. Check the barrel for a Seal of the urn and the chest beside it for
Toggle Switch. Now go back to the secret room and examine the thing at the
north of the map. Now check the clock that brings you here to go to the third
floor.
Check the vases thingie at the south of the area for a Talisman of Mercy. Exit

|Reward: Justice tarot card, SP-Attack Down 2 |
| |
|Altho he might look big, he doesn't have that much HP. A 4-man combo can take|
|out 1/3 of his hp(my party is around 13). He has pretty good offense tho, all|
|his spell/attack should take out half of your HP so be sure to heal. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that you'll be forced to go to Florence. After the cutscene, talk to
Carla for healing, from now on, she will be healing you whenever you talk to
her, so you can save some money from buying tents hehe. Anyway, time to head
back to SG Italian Branch HQ again, cuz there's a Wolf Bout quest to be done.

| |
|Be sure to equip Blanca with a Pocket Watch as he does Reverse Ring which |
|sucks. You might wanna try to lose him on your first fight to see if he |
|really changes back to a human. Well, sadly, no =| cuz if you lose they will |
|have to give Blanca another try. Oh well remember to heal as well cuz he does|
|pretty good damage. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time to leave for Wales.
Wales, revisited(xxwa2xx)
-------------------------
Items: Red Mailbox, Rope Ladder
Monsters: N/A
First, check the mailbox beisde Roger's house. Joachim gets a weapon upgrade.
Now enter Roger's house. At the left of the save point is a chest containing
Rope Ladder, something you need later. The vending machine at the right of the
save point works now(it doesn't work last time you come). Upgrade the stuff as
you see fit. By now you should be buying Coral Pendants when you get the money
as they help a lot in getting perfect rings. Now leave the house and head north
until you reach a dead end. Examine it to use the rope ladder you found earlier
and descend.
Neam Ruins(xxnerxx)
-------------------
Items: Face Guard, Mana Seed, Talisman of Luck, Hit Area Expand, Thera Seed,
Seal of Vitality, Leonardo's Bear, Phenex Crest, Getitup! Berith Crest,
Attack Boost, Mana Extract, Ose Crest
Monsters: Ofnir, Otheon, Calamity Orb
***VERY VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: The direction I give in my walkthrough is based on
the mini map on your top right corner because the camera is always moving. So
when I say left means it's west on the minimap!****
Grab the chest beside the save point for a Face Guard. Save and go north into a
puzzle room.
1. Take the block in front of you to north.
2. Walk right then up to step to another block that brings you west.
3. There are 2 blocks here. Take the upper right one.
4. Grab the chest on your right for a Mana Seed.
5. Go take back the block that brings you there.
6. Now go the lower left block you ignored earlier.(on the way the middle block
might bring you somewhere else so step on it to get back)
7. There are 2 blocks here, take the block at north.(should be obvious which
will take you to the exit right...)
8. Snatch the chest for a Talisman of Luck and exit north.
Another puzzle.
1. First activate the switch on the right and go to the gold block.
2. Now take the gold block at the lower right.
3. Grab the chest for Hit Area Expand and activate the switch here and take the
block back.
4. Now take the gold block on the left.
5. Grab the chest for a Thera Seed and ride the other gold block.
6. Now take the block on the lower right.
7. There are 2 gold blocks here, take the one of the left.
8. Push the switch here and take the block back.
9. Now take the lower right blue block and exit the area.
Hm...
1. Follow the linear path and you should find a switch on the right eventually.
2. Activate it and go north using the blue bridge. Dun forget to grab the chest
on your right for a Seal of Vitality.
3. Now take the red bridge left at the end of the path.
4. Press the red switch 3 times. Now take the 2 red bridges and snatch a
Lottery Ticket from a chest at the end of the path.
5. Now go back to the red switch and press it 2 times. Follow the red bridges
to the exit.
This one is nasty...
1. Take the only blue block south.
2. Take the blue block on the left down. Activate the yellow switch and ride
the blue block up.
3. Head south and take the blue block at the lower right.
4. Now head north and follow the path to the end, reaching a yellow switch.
5. Go back to the place where the blue block brings you down and head right.
6. Ignore the first blue block you see and head all the way north. The chest
contains Leonardo's Bear.
7. Now take the blue block you ignored before.
8. You should see 2 blue blocks here. One on the right and another on the left.
Take the right block up and get Phenex Crest from the chest.
9. Go back down but DO NOT take the left block yet. Instead, head north a bit
and there will be a small fork to the left. Turn left and take the blue
block down.
10.Activate the yellow switch at the left of the map and take the blue block
back up.
11. Now go right a bit and head south and now the yellow block will become a
bridge, cross it to find Getitup! in a chest at the end of the path.
12. Now cross the yellow bridge again and go all the way north to activate the
yellow switch.
13. Now take the blue block on the left side you ignored 2 times.
14. After being brought up take the only block up in front of you. Puzzle
completed. Exit the area.
Follow the path until you reach yet another small puzzle. The order to press is
: Blue>Green>Blue. Now continue your way. The answer for the stairs that you
first bump into is: yellow>green>green. But don't go up the stairs yet. Now go
to your left and press: bluex3>yellowx2>redx2. Now grab Berith Crest from the
chest and head north on the main path. Before you save, check the lower right
corner for the Ring Soul. Now save and take the red lift up.
Not much of a puzzle here. Just follow the flashing bridges, eventho they might
turn invisible, but if you know where they are, you can still walk thru. Care-
ful tho, cuz you can fall if you step on the wrong place. Keep in mind there's
a chest at the upper left corner containing Mana Extract. The exit is at south.
Save and head north for a boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: GRAIL GAZER, with 2 minions Star Gazer |
|HP: 1240 MP: 409 |
|Element: Water(both) |
|Difficulty: Might get you a game over if you didn't equip Leonardo's Bear and|
| couldn't kill Star Gazer fast. After killing the minions, it's |
| a piece of cake |
|Reward: Instant Death 1, Talisman of Mercy, Crest Ose |
| |
|As usual, take out the minions first, but this time the minions have can take|
|quite some punches so you might wanna consider doing combo on them. Try to |
|prevent them from doing combo by doing "Hard Hit"(the combo cannot be stopped|
|if they resist in defense tho... Also the minions have instant death skill |
|which can be deadly, equip Leonardo's Bear if you want(I didn't tho, just |
|take them out ASAP and you should be fine). When the boss is isolated, it |
|isn't much of a threat. Most of its spells does like 50+ dmg so it's nothing |
|huge anyway. Try to sneak in a combo magic for 600+ damage(woot). By now I |
|have everyone equipped with Coral Pendant so I am doing almost all ring |
|perfects and it should not be too hard. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cannes(xxcanxx)
---------------
Items: Seal of Force, Lottery Ticket, Grass Oil, Marchosias Crest, Mr. Samurai,
Waterway key, Western Belt
Monsters: N/A
Go down the stairs(save if you want). Before going much further, check the red
flowers on the right side of the door for a Seal of Force.
---
Trading Miniquest:
Talk to Ijichi, a man walking somewhere around here and you'll exchange your
Underground Film for his Daruma Doll, however, I suggest you keep your Under-
ground Film and exchange it with the boy down the streets instead since it will
be a shorter way. You *WON'T* screw up the trading quest even if you did change
with Ijichi.
---
If you talk around with the ppl here, you should find out that you need to find
Nelson. Now exit the area to the east. Before going down the stairs, check the
lamp post for a Lottery Ticket. Now follow the stairs down. Before going
southwest, check the door-looking thingie on the north wall for Grass Oil.
---
Trading Miniquest:
If you didn't change your Underground Film just now, talk to a boy named Fabio
and he'll exchange it for a Limestone Block, a better route imo.
---
Go southwest and talk to a gray suit man beside a cafe. He's Croft, and now the
Treasure Hunting sidequest will be initiated. Check the sidequest for more info
Now go a few steps left and talk to a woman. She turns out to be Lottery
Member #13. I strongly suggest you play this one as she has Marchosias Crest on
the red. Altho she uses small ring, it's nothing bad since you still can see
the red. Just press right before the red and it should land on it on the next
turn. Now enter the cafe beside Croft.
Talk to a fat guy wearing grey suit here(buy him a drink) to get Mr. Samurai
stud card. Now talk to the drunken fella here(turns out he's Nelson) to get
Waterway Key from him.
Now leave the cafe and head west. Upgrade your armors if you have the cash and
take the wooden ladder down to the shore. Continue all the way down until you
reach a boat. Open the chest there for a Western Belt. Now take the boat to St.
Marguerite Island.
St. Marguerite Island(xxsmixx)
------------------------------
Items: Camio Crest, Lottery Ticket, Face Guard, Wheel of Fortune(tarot card),
Strike Expand, Attack Boost, Tent, Fountain Pen, Adhesive, Bent Wire,
Daphne Fruit, Seal of Strength, Pure Root, Lottery Ticket, Handmade Key,
Nibelung Scene 2, Earthen Pipe
Monsters: Paladin, Clawed Admiral, Gatorback, Kheperer
Save and head to the door. After the event you'll be controlling only Blanca.
Now get Blanca thru the hole. The wolf beside the save point sells stuff(... I
wonder how does a wolf sell stuff), and the dead end on the left hides Camio
Crest. Anyway save if you want and go north at the fork for a fight. If you
have been using Blanca he's a piece of cake. Even if you are not using it this
boss should not be too hard. Anyway waste him(I did it in 1 turn lol) to get
back the key.
Now go thru the wooden door. Follow the linear path and enter the first door
you see. Examine the shelf on the left of the room for a Lottery Ticket. Now
exit the room with another door on the right. Now head north and take the door
on the right. Go to the lower right corner for a chest containing Face Guard.
Now check upper left cell, here you can find Lottery Member #12. His red is
Slow 2, gamble if you want but save first, reload if you fail so you will not
be wasting tickets.
Your destination is a locked door on the upper right corner. Supposedly you are
to ask the prisoners for clues but if your lazy the answer is 8,6,4. Continue
your way down until a cutscene ensues.
Choose anyone you like, the person you chose might get a free weapon later on.
But it's not anything too important since you can buy them anyway. Pick the
dialogue you like most, it will affect the item you get in the end but as I
said you can buy them anyway so it's not important.
After you gain control of Blanca, and go thru the hole you went before. Head
north at the fork for an event.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Wolf Bout 5: Philipe |
|Reward: Full Moon learnt |
|Location: St. Marguerite Island, triggered automatically |
| |
|You might wanna wear a Silver Bracelet as he does mental break, but it's not |
|a must cuz it doesn't drain too much. It took me 5 turns to kill it and I |
|healed once. Not too tough, watch your HP and SP and take the necessary |
|healing. Oh I got a shell Bracelet from him too, but I am not sure if he |
|drops that all the time. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now save if you wish and head right from the wolves. Head north and you'll see
a short cutscene, now, Blanca has become Solid Snake! LOL Yea it looks odd when
it stands but it's quite fun. If you fail to sneak pass them, your gonna fight
them but the fights are not that hard. Now try to run pass the guard while he's
not looking at you. Follow the linear path, After the cutscene, hold O and walk
over the branches. After that, you should see a chest down there but there's a
guard patrolling, you can come to get it back later so try ignore it first. Get
as close as you can and hide behind a wall, when the guard walks to the chest,
dash to the right exit.
Now this one is a bit tougher. When the guard walks to the right, follow him
behind and halfway thru quickly hide behind the wall. He will turn back and
walk past you, once he leaves you by some distance, dash to the end.
After the event, you'll be thrown into a room, now this is random, search
around, hopefully you can find the key before they find you, the location isn't
fixed, so good luck. After you get the key(by force or anything) exit the room
and head right and exit the room to the east. This one should be easy, let the
guard pass you and dash north. Now this is hard... their movement is random...
so just hide when you see guards approaching and hope for the best. Your
destination is the door at north. Now there will be 2 guards at the red bar. Go
forward and try to get their attention, after they notice you, run to the right
and hide behind the walls. After the guard pass you at some distance. Dash to
the exit at north. Now if you manage to sneak past all the guards(this is
definitely tougher than any boss fights...) you'll get Zodiac Bracelet(gives
petrification and paralysis immunity), a pretty neat item to have now.
Before running into the giant thing in front of you, equip Blanca with a Shell
Bracelet. You will definitely need it to fight this boss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: OSCAR |
|HP: 400 MP: 0 |
|Element: Wind |
|Difficulty: Hard without Shell Bracelet, quite easy with Shell Bracelet |
|Reward: Temperance tarot card, Poison 2 |
| Chainmail Belt(Bonus for Ring Perfect) |
| |
|This boss is tough as heck *IF* you didn't equip Shell Bracelet as his poison|
|attack HURTS after a few turns if you don't clear it off. But if you clear it|
|off, he will do it again and eventually you are just struggling. So take my |
|advice and do it. Now if put a gale or any buff magic on yourself it will |
|remove it instantly so there's no point in doing it. So whack ahead and heal |
|when your low in HP. His attacks does around 30-40 damage so it's not too |
|heavy. Watch your SP as well if the battle takes too long. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Treasure Hunting Miniquest:
After you start the miniquest by talking to Croft at Cannes, search the chain
while jamming the X button to find Wheel of Fortune Tarot Card. Remember to
talk to Croft later and get another clue.
---
Before exiting north, take the right stairs up and follow all the way to its
end. There's a chest here that contains Strike Expand. Now take the only exit
at north. Follow the linear path to help your teammates.
Now you have everyone back. Grab the chest on the left for a weapon upgrade or
a third key(that depends what answers you gave when being tortured). Now just
beside the chest, you should see some boxes, examine them to get Sp-Defend Down
2. Save and exit south. Exit south 2 times and you'll reach another square room
Now take the right path(instead of heading south straight) and you should
bump into Ring Soul at the corner. Now exit the room to the south. Follow the
linear path until somebody talked to you. You need 3 items to get him make you
a key. Here are their descriptions:
1. Something long and thin for the shaft(pencils)
2. Some soft metal to make the end(wires)
3. Something to bond the two
Afterwards, head all the way down to get a Tent from the chest. Go back to the
fork and head west. Now take the stairs up into a room. Now the item in the
chest at your left varies, if you manage to get past all the enemies without
being spotted, you'll get a Zodiac Bracelet, if you didn't manage to do so you
get some other items(I got Hit Area Expand). Now check the table for a Fountain
Pen, the first item needed. Now go down 1 floor and head west. On the way
before exiting west, you should see a red metal gate leading south. Go in and
head into the left room. Search around to get Adhesive, the third item needed.
Now go out thru the metal gate again and head west. Head west at the T section
to get Bifrons Crest from the chest, where you ignored earlier. Now find your
way to the lower left corner of this big room, examine the crevice on the wall
to get Blanca back into the woods. Now approach the wolves to get Bent Wire,
the 2nd item needed.
Now go back all the way to the stairs. This time go down. At the bottom grab
the chest at the corner for a Daphne Fruit and head east. Examine the silver
colored statue thing for a Seal of Strength. Now exit east. Check on the green
pillar on the floor here to get a weapon upgrade for Joachim. Move a few steps
forward and you should notice a chest on the upper right corner. It contains a
Pure Root. Now at the opposite corner of the chest(lower right), examine the
floor for a Lottery Ticket. Now exit east and follow the linear path into a
room. Head west, then north, then east again(ignoring the stairs) and go talk
to the man.(Upper rightmost cell), you get Handmade Key and Nibelung Scene 2
for all your effort. Now take a few steps south and head west all the way until
you reach the T section. Follow the path until you reach a fork, take north
this time. Go up and save. Exit the room at north for a boss fight.
Your first fight is only against some stupid Clawed Admirals, waste them a few
times and you'll fight...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: GODHAND |
|HP: 1960 MP: 0 |
|Element: Earth |
|Difficulty: A little tough |
|Reward: Strike Expand, Bandit Earrings |
| |
|Start with combo magic straight away for 400+ dmg(wooooooooooooot). Now this |
|guy isn't the old Lenny you fought last time. First he deals petrify which is|
|very annoying, equip any anti petrification stuff if you want but it's not a |
|compulsory, if you don't, just clear it off ASAP. Besides petrification, he |
|does "Deadly Three" that damages 3 character, injuring one badly(90+) while |
|scratching the 2(around 10). If you have a high level Fire Fusion, you can |
|try using Energy Charge to do some awesome damage. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now head to Cannes, the only possible destination. Remember to talk to Croft
outside who initiated the Treasure Hunting miniquest to get a new clue. Now
head to Wales.
Go into Roger's house. Talk to Roger and go right from there until you hit the
wall. Now go clockwise and examine the question mark at the end. It's obvious
what to do now, take the lift and go down. Go down a bit and head left. Enjoy
the cutscene.
Petrograd(xxpetxx)
------------------
Items: Dantalion Crest, Balam Crest, Andrealphus, Botis, Seal of Life, P-Attack
Down 2, The Empress(tarot card), Mana Root, Pure Root, Hit Area Expand,
Furcas Crest, Seal of Knowledge, P-Defend Down 2, Lottery Ticketx2,
Nibelung Scene 5, Espada, Eligos Crest, Bell Bracelet, Lion Shrine Key,
Pirate Earrings, Mana Seed, Halphas Crest
Monsters: Wormgaur, Quartzback
*author's little note: Maybe it's just me, but if you look closely at Rasputin(
especially from the side view), he looks a bit like Solid Snake....*
Dantalion Crest, Balam Crest, Andrealphus, Botis Crests are obtained
automatically when you get Anastasia. Head south and enter the first available
door on your right. The chest at the upper right corner should be pretty
obvious, it contains Seal of Life. Exit and head south into a hall. Now head
left but before you enter the door, check the left corner, it hides a chest
containing P-Attack Down 2. Now exit to the door. Enter the first door on your
left. Check the teddy bear(isn't it cute?) for The Empress(tarot card). Check
the lower right corner for a Mana Root in a chest. Now save and exit your room.
Now take the upper left most room and talk to Ewan. Now return to your room and
rest.
After the cutscene, open the chest beside you for a Pure Root. Now head west
from the T junction and keep going that way until you reach a new area. Head a
few steps down go left until you can't go any further. There's a not-very-
visible chest there, it has Hit Area Expand. Now try explore around and try to
find the entrance of the palace. From that camera view, head all the way north
to a corner, there's a chest hiding there containing Furcas Crest. Now go to
the giant pillar in the middle. One of the 4 lamp post around it hides a Seal
of Wisdom, so examine them.
Now head back to the T junction and take the other way(man.. it's so damn hard
to describe directions without minimap...). Continue the path until you see
Rasputin passes by. Now follow him. At the next area, check the corner closest
to you for P-Defend Down 2 from a chest, after that check the left lamp post
for Strike Expand. Now continue following him.
After some events, you'll be thrown into a fight. It's not a boss fight cuz...
when engaged, it's the usual mirror breaking, instead of a collision between 2
red lines.
Anyway, this monster Pendulum has only 333 HP and 140 MP, but before you kill
it, be sure to take a photo of it.
After you get back control, check at one of corners for a Lottery Ticket.
---
Trading Miniquest:
Do not give your Daruma Doll to Edgar no matter how much he begs you, or you'll
screw up the trading.
---
Exit, save, and head left at the junction, talk the an old man on the way
(before exiting the map) for Nibelung Scene 5, now go to to Anastasia's palace.
---
Trading Miniquest:
If you have the Limestone Block from Fabio, exchange it with Chagal
standing beside the Magimel Brothers for Ultimate Piroshki.
---
After the cutscene, go north. Take a left and go thru the door. No north and
examine the second plant on the left for a Lottery Ticket. Now enter the upper
left most door and get Espada from a chest at the northeast corner.
Now go back to the first area of the palace(where the save point is) and take
the right stairs this time.
---
Trading Miniquest:
If you have the Daruma Doll instead, be sure to exchange it with Zuvious, a man
in the first room at the East Hallway. NEVER EVER exchange the Daruma Doll with
Edgar, or your done for good.
---
Enter the second door on your right and talk to the maid inside, turns out
she's Lottery Member #11. She uses reverse ring but it's nothing to tough,
press X 1-2 degrees from the red and it should land on it. Anyway the red is a
Prism Band and it makes it easier for Joachim to turn into Invisible. Anyway,
exit the room, save, head north and go into the first room on your left. Go
along the path until you reach a white door. Enter it.
After the cutscene, head north into the white doors(either one), now examine
the side of the bed for a Circlet. Now go back to your room.
After the nice little cutscene, leave the room and exit south. Go down the
stairs and head north. Go left then up. Now the north door can be accessed, so
go there. Now go into the door between 2 big stairs. At the upper left corner
is a chest that has Eligos Crest. Leave this room and take the left stairs. Now
go all the way to the lower left corner in this place to grab Bell Bracelet
from the chest. Now exit this place at the lower right corner.
Continue all the way east, ignoring the white doors. Now go south, save and
head into the first door on your right for a boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: VICTOR, with a minion Pendulum |
|HP: 1800 MP: 200 |
|Element: Fire |
|Difficulty: Nothing hard |
|Reward: Night Oil, Halphas Crest |
| |
|Get rid of the Pendulum first. He should be done before he can do a thing. |
|Now Victor can seal, and he deals around 60 physical damage. Try to do a 4men|
|combo to rack up some nice damage. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After he left, examine the shiny thing on the floor he stood to get Lion Shrine
Key. Exit the room, save and head north. There's a Pirate Earrings on the
second room on your right, after snatching it, leave and exit north. Continue
your north until an event takes over.
When you get back control, leave the shop and head to the place where you
fought Pendulum.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Wolf Bout 6: R-3 |
|Reward: Soul Comet powered up |
|Location: Petrograd, place you first fought Pendulum |
| |
|If you fight it now, it's annoying cuz you don't have anything to stop his |
|panic attack, unless you wanna travel to Goreme Valley to buy a Feather |
|Bracelet and come back here again. Anyway it's not an impossible fight. |
|Keep whacking until he is down and heal up your HP and SP. You get Strike |
|Expand & Feather Bracelet too. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now go to where Rasputin talked to Victor(where Anastasia was noticed when she
was taking a photo). At the end of the path, examine the crates for a Mana Seed
Now leave Petrograd for Paris(MontMartre) to talk to Ernest to get Zagan
Crest from him for getting 6 stamps(along with Thera Extract). Now head to
Goreme Valley.

Monsters:
Follow the straigh path until you reach an area with people.
---
Trading Miniquest:
If you have the Ultimate Piroshki, be careful and DO NOT talk to the fat ass
standing opposite of the Magimel Brothers because you will screw up the quest.
You'll get Burning Candle if you trade with him.
---
The chest opposite of the Magimel Brothers has Marax Crest. Upgrade your armors
with Gerard and go to the hole at the cave.
---
Trading Miniquest:
If somehow you have screwed up the trading quest by giving Edgar your Daruma
Doll... Well, the only thing you can do now is change the Holy Easter Egg for
a Pure Root with a man standing just outside the hole, it's the end of the
trading quest for you.
---
When you attempt to enter it, you'll be interrupted by Sarah, and the second
part of the Solomon's sidequests begins. Try out if you want(and receive
Sabnock Crest), check the sidequest section for more info.
Follow the linear path and enter the first door on your right. Inside hides a
chest containing a Seal of Aura. Now go up the stairs.
---
Treasure Hunting Miniquest:
Search around the sole pillar here for Seere Crest, be sure to talk to Croft at
Cannes before this to get the second clue). You might wanna go back to him now
to get the third clue.
---
Anyway, go back down and head into the second door on your right. Examine the
table on the man's right for a Lottery Ticket. Exit the room and talk to
Lawrence. Now enter the metal door. Follow the narrow path and take a right
turn at the first fork. Snatch a Blue Cape from the chest here. Now approach
Jovis.
After enjoying the cutscene, go to the north of the room(where you can see a
picture on the wall. Examine around the white table to find Evasion Down 2.
Now exit to the door on the upper right. Before you talk to Jovis, examine the
lower right corner for Ring Soul. Now talk to Jovis.
YOu'll then found yourself in the graveyard, now take the north exit. After the
event, take the metal door at north.
Mirror Castle(xxmicxx)
----------------------
Items: Third Key, Glass Key
Monsters: Ogoroja, Tweedledee, Tweedledum
Exit the only door here. Follow the linear path until you get into another door
Again, just follow the straight path, and you'll end up on a wall so turn
right and go into the wooden door. In this room, examine the mirror on the
right. Now you'll be forced to fight Yuri and Karin clone, just whack them, it
is not even a boss fight and you'll be fighting a number of these later on.
After beating them, you'll be thrown into another realm that mirrors the
previous one exactly. Jovis will heal you when your in to trouble as well. Now
take the blue doors at north. Grab the Third Key in a chest at the end of the
path and go back to the room with the save point.
Now take the exit at southeast. Now take the right and follow all the way back
to where you started from. You should be able to find a Glass key in a chest.
Now leave this place, and follow until you reach a door. But don't enter it,
instead, examine the mirror on the left. Kick their butt and you'll go back to
the real realm. Exit to the door at north. Now follow the linear path and enter
the room again. Take the exit at north here. Go north, save and enter the door
for a boss fight. Go to the red platform ahead of you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: AMON |
|HP: 765 MP: 268 |
|Element: None |
|Difficulty: Okok |
|Reward: Amon's Soul |
| |
|OUCH. This guy deals tons of physical damage(100+), so be sure to heal right |
|away. He can also cast spells like The End but it's nowhere as dangerous as |
|his physical atk. On top of that, he's fast, so Gale up both your character. |
|Good thing tho, he doesn't have that much HP, a good fire fusion should be |
|able to take out big chunk of HP. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the long event, go to Jovis' room(where you snatch his Blue Cape).
After the cutscene, you'll be back in Petrograd. Maya's Wolf Bout is available
now in Domremy if you talk to Depressed Nagy at the village, but it's kinda
tough to fight against 3 wolves at your level. They are at the Domremy Forest,
try if out if you don't believe.
Anyway go to the save point outside Edgar's shop. At the T-junction, find your
way to where Rasputin talked to Victor before. You'll be interrupted by an
event and after this you can get the Grade Max fusion if you have Soul Drop.
With this item at your inventory, examine the altar to get the strongest fusion
, you'll need to fight a shadow monster tho. Now there are 6 elemental fusions
so there are 6 Soul Drops in the game. There are 2 Soul Drops you can get right
away. Lawrence will give you 1 if you talk to him at the Goreme Valley. There
is another in the Church at Domremy. Walk all the way to the end of the church
to see a shiny yellow thing. That's the Soul Drop.
After getting the stuff, it's time to head back to Petrograd and go to the
place your supposed to go. After the talk, you'll be in Gallery of the Dead.
Gallery of the Dead(xxgtdxx)
----------------------------

, The Magician(tarot card), Leonardo's Bear, Seal 2, Talisman of Luck,
Strongoids, Plastron, Andromalius Crest
Monsters: Jack, Jill, Agony
Save and examine the skeleton beside the save point for Nibelung Scene 8. Now
examine the switch on the wall north of here. Now go north after the gate is
unlocked. Before turning left, examine the skeleton(again) for a Thera Root.
Now go left and when you reach a fork head north. Head left when you get the
chance, at the lower left corner, before going up, examine the skeleton for a
Lottery Ticket, now open the lever at the end of the path. Go back to the main
path and head north. In this room, head right(the north path is a dead end for
now). When you reach a fork go down, now move the lever at the end of the path.
Go back to the fork and go north a few steps. You should see a wolf in a cell.
Talk to it for a fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Wolf Bout 8: Necros |
|Reward: Soul Comet powered up |
|Location: Gallery of the Dead, locked in a cage, somewhere the east area |
| |
|This wolf is nasty cuz he deals paralysis, so equip Bhodi Bracelet. If you do|
|that, he's nothing much of a threat. Whack him and heal up, that's all. Oh |
|yea, he never gets to eat you even if you lose =| |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyway continue up, then right, and examine the wall before you go south for
Ring Soul. The chest at the end contains Leraje Crest, yea man, from now on,
you can cast arc rage! Be sure to use it in boss fights. Now go back where
Necros is and head west, then north. Now before turning left, examine the floor
at the upper right corner for The Magician tarot card. Now go left. Again,
check the corner before you turn south for a Leonardo's Bear, now go south and
follow the way into another room, with some coffins lying around.
Now check the small space between the lower left coffin and the wall for
Andromalius Crest. If you examine the thing at the upper left corner it will
give you hints about a locket. Now exit north and head right at the fork. Pull
the lever here and go back to the room with the save point and head south this
time. Take a left when you get a chance and examine the chest at the corner for
Seal 2 before turning south. Before going anywhere at the 4-ways junction,
examine the skeleton lying at the east wall for a Talisman of Luck. Now take a
left at the junction. Go south but pay attention to the stuff on the right wall
The cell beside the skeleton on the right hides Strongoids. Now follow the
linear path until you reach a fork. Ignore the right turn and head up. Open the
chest at the upper right corner for a Plastron. Now turn left and move the
lever.
Now go back to the fork and head right. On your way going up, remember to pull
the lever on the right wall. Follow the path and you'll end up at the 4-ways
junction again. Now go south and activate the switch. Now go all the way up,
then right some steps and head south this time. Follow the path here, save if
you wish, and go down at the fork. Now examine the shiny thing on the skeleton.
Now go back to the room with coffins. Now examine the thing at the west side of
the room and gave it the locket. Now take the north exit. Take a left turn at
the junction and go all the way up.
Hermitage(xxherxx)
------------------
Items: Ipos Crest, Talisman of Mercy, Mr. Swan, Purple Bondage, Tissues, Silver
Angel, Frozen Tuna
Monsters: Peryton
You'll end up in the palace. Now take the only exit here south and a cutscene
ensues. After that, head left, then take the stairs down and exit to the door
at the lower left. Save, buy any stuff if you want(no new stuff tho) and take
the exit below you. Go all the way down and open the chest, it has Ipos Crest.
Great, now you have Arc Gale to use, use it ALL the time at a boss fight. It's
awesome as hell. Now go towards the spiral stairs. After a short event you'll
be thrown to fight some Perytons, nothing major. After clearing them, go down a
few steps and check on the fountain to get a Talisman of Mercy. Now go to the
spiral stairs and go all the way up. After some talking, you'll face a boss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: NIGHT QUEEN, with 2 minions Peryton |
|HP: 2380 MP: 420 |
|Element: Water |
|Difficulty: Challenging |
|Reward: Moon Oil, Haagenti |
| |
|Try to finish the perytons before they cast any Arc stuff. With those 2 dead,|
|it's time put those awesome magic crest to good use, Arc Gale and Arc Rage. |
|If you went to get the Grade Max fusion after getting the Soul Drops, use it |
|as well, a max level Fides will rock with Energy Charge+Inferno. Now let's |
|talk about the boss. Night Queen does instant kill, which can be annoying if |
|you are not able to ress up fast, but with Arc Gale up, it should be ok, if |
|you still aren't comfortable with that, equip them with Leonardo's Bear. |
|Besides nasty instant kill, her magic does pretty good damage, so be sure to |
|heal up, pay attention to Karin's(& Anastasia if your using her) SP as well. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that awesome CG and some event, you'll be back in Hermitage. Now talk to
the walking guard to get Mr. Swan stud card. Now exit south, then go right and
enter the door. Go north again, now check the upper right door here, examine
the 2 sides of the bed for Purple Bondage and Tissues. Now leave the room, go
south a bit and enter the lower left door. Go left all the way, pass the white
door. Go down the stairs and take the lower right door leading east. Now take
the exit below you. Take the spiral stairs all the way up. Examine the upper
left corner to get Silver Angel on the floor. Now go to the first area of the
palace, save and upgrade your stuff with the fat noble on the left. Now leave
the palace. From where you stood, go down all the way to a corner. Examine the
fish thingie to get a weapon upgrade for Joachim, Frozen Tuna. Now go to
Edgar's shop to get Panoramic Lens from him.
Lottery Member #10 is available now in Gepetto's Apartment at Paris. Be sure to
play the lottery and win Alloces Crest from her. The Junk Dealer at Cathedral,
Paris also sells Silver Chair for 10k >< Well if your not using him there's no
point of buying it. Now let's go to Domremy to finish the wolf bout.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Wolf Bout 7: Maya, Mash, Martega |
|Reward: Comeback learnt |
|Location: Domremy, in the forest, talk to Depressed Nagy to trigger it |
| |
|Now it might look a bit hard at first, but here's what I did(Blanca is around|
|level 23). First cast the Arc Gale you get from Hermitage, now hit Martega |
|first, he'll be down in 2 rounds(perfect rings). Equip yourself a Shell |
|Bracelet to prevent poison, but this doesn't stop all the status ailment they|
|do, cuz they will seal and mental break you. If you are not infected by these|
|status, cure yourself, if you do, forget about removing and use Thera Seed |
|instead to avoid wasting turn. You might wanna block if they have many turns |
|after you as well. Anyway after finishing Martega, focus your attack on Mash.|
|With Mash down, you have pretty much won the battle, the last thing you need |
|to worry is your SP, so do not hesitate to use up a Pure Leaf or 2. I got 3x |
|Lottery Ticket and The Fool tarot card after beating them(with other minor |
|healing stuff, Leonardo's Bear will be given if you hit all perfects) |

4: Paralysis 2(In a chest)
5: Jupiter Fan(In a chest)
6: Cosmic Bracelet, Soul Benediction, Strike Expand(All in 3 chests)
s1: save point 1
s2: save point 2, the Magimel Brothers are here as well
So here's the map, go anywhere you like, but be sure to pick up everything. On
the way you'll bump into something that blocks you and it has some nasty
Gigafilaria that you must fight in order to proceed. Now these things aren't
as easy as random monsters. They do really nice physical attack and can even
Arc Gale, on top of that, they are FAST. Now you really won't like to be ambush
-ed by these nuts but that's all luck =| Anyway, Gale up everyone if you feel
like it and use some AOE water to kill off a few of them ASAP. If your using
Anastasia, be sure to snapshot Hati to get Direct Press spell.
After finding yourself thru the exit, the dungeon is still not finished yet.
First go left all the way and activate the switch, the blue door should be
opened now. Now go thru it into another area. Head right when you get the
chance and grab Feather Bracelet from the chest. Now continue north. At the
fork, go left, activate the switch. Go back to the fork and go right this time
to activate the switch(for the yellow door). Now head a few backs left to the
fork, take a south then right. Continue the way and you'll bump into a chest
that has Hit Area Expand. Now go south then head east all the way to the end.
You should be able to see a chest north from where you stood. It has Third Key.
After snatching the key, head west a little and go up at the fork to activate
the switch for the purple door. Now go left, then up, and right when you get
into a fork. After some steps, go north to activate the switch for the pink
door. Now go right and down to activate another switch. Go up to get Will Power
from the chest. Now go west until you hit a wall. Head north and go right at
the fork. At the end of the path, press the switch to unlock the yellow door.
Head left all the way, save, and head north for a boss fight. Keep your eyes on
when you pass the yellow door, cuz there's chest on the right(just behind the
door) that has Pure Root. With everything taken care of, now let's go up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: MOTHER FILARIA x2 |
|HP: 700 MP: 230 |
|Element: Light |
|Difficulty: Easy |
|Reward: Seal of Strength(bonus for high combo hits, 30+, info provided by |
|
[email protected]) |
| |
|Arc Rage/Gale everyone up. Now these things do combo, if can, hit them hard |
|to counter the combo. Their spell do kinda good damage, and they heal when |
|they get low HP(kinda random tho, sometimes they heal up too eventho they are|
|not hurt). Their paralysis attack isn't too common so there's no really need |
|to wear any anti-paralysis accessories, just be sure to clear it off fast. |
|Anyway focus on one and try combo as much as you can. They should not be too |
|hard if you gale up everyone. Oh yea, you have to fight 2 times so be sure to|
|heal up at the end of the first battle.(I did a one hit kill with energy |
|charge+arc rage+inferno with a level 10 Fides, you might wanna try it) |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the upper right corner(red thing on the wall) hides a Replacement Man. On
the southwest side lies a chest with Seal of Speed. Now head thru the north
exit. Heal up and prepare for a boss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: ASMODEUS |
|HP: 2880 MP: 468 |
|Element: None |
|Difficulty: Challenging |
|Reward: The World tarot card, Warlock Earrings |
| Zodiac Bracelet(bonus for high combo hits) |
| |
|Woah, his look sucks. Arc Gale/Rage again. Ouch, this guy's magic hurts(150 |
|to my Yuri). But at around level 27+, you should have at least 300 HP so you |
|shouldn't be killed instantly. You might wanna use Arc Barrier to be safe but|
|healing should be ok since you have so many turns with gale. He cast Surge on|
|himself sometimes so always keep your party healthy. Besides that, his SP |
|lowering attack can be really nasty to anyone, be sure to use Pure Leaf/Root |
|to stop them from going berserk. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
There will be a number of cutscenes after you finish him. Before you go to
Apoina Tower, be sure to complete the wolf bout, lottery, soul drop(Third Soul
Drop can be won in the Lucky Chests minigame now), trading miniquest, treasure
hunting miniquest etc stuff because it will be sometime before you can come
back to Europe.
Also, now is a good time to fight Gama at Southampton to get Joachim's 2nd
Muscle Art, Deathtron Hammer. He shouldn't be too hard at your level, but I
have to let you know. This battle is different from the first because he will
attempt to use a Third Key at his third turn, so be sure to either block on
that turn OR use a Replacement Man OR beat him before the third turn, so use
the bat form if you wanna do that. Whatever you do, survive it, and kick his
butt, you'll earn Deathtron Hammer. Pretty good cuz it hits 15 which is nice if
you wanna combo up the hits.
Apoina Tower, revisited(xxap2xx)
------------------------------
Items: Belial Crest, Strike Expand, Attack Boost,Kidnapper's Weight, Murderer's
Weight, Arsonist's Weight, Thief's Weight, Pure Extract, Seal of the
Soul, Paimon Crest
Monsters: Emptiness, Danters, Lemures
Approach the tower and enter it. Take the west exit and go left. Grab the
chests here for Belial Crest and Strike Expand. Now go back into the tower.
This time, take the east door. Follow the straight path until you reach the
place where there was a teleportation device there last time. Check the left
corner for Ring Soul. Now continue all the way up until you reach a locked door
Go north and head to the cells. Check the 4 cells at the 4 corners to get
Kidnapper's Weight, Murderer's Weight, Arsonist's Weight, Thief's Weight.
Now check the north cell to put on the weight. It's pretty easy to figure out
the combination really, but if you fail you'll be thrown into a fight that you
cannot run away. Anyway the combination needed is: The Arsonist's and the
Murderer's Weight. Now you can go thru the sealed door. Save and proceed up.
In this spacious room with cages around, head west, examine the switch and put
it at the top level. Now take the left stairs and go up to the next level. Take
a left and get Pure Extract from the chest. Now head right and go up again.
On your way up you should spot a chest lying beside the north wall(before the
switch). It has a Seal of the Soul. Now examine the switch a few steps from you
and set it to the lower level. Go back down one level and head north at the
cross. Set it to the bottom level. Now head south and go down one level. There
should be a cage at the northeast wall now. It contains Paimon Crest.
Now go all the way up(2 levels) and set the cage to the top level. At the cross
roads, you should be able to see a chest at the northeast corner. It has Hit
Area Expand. Now go southeast and head upstairs. Save at the east corner and
prepare for a nice boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: ASTAROTH |
|HP: 3040 MP: 472 |
|Element: None |
|Difficulty: Easier than Asmodeus |
|Reward: Galahad's Sword, Delay 2 |
| Cosmic Bracelet(Bonus for high combo hits, info supplied by |
|
[email protected]) |
| |
|Now this one looks cool(10x better than Asmodeus). As usual Arc Gale/Rage up.|
|Astaroth is like Asmodeus and their magic hurts, you might wanna Arc Barrier |
|to be safe. His spells mostly do like 200+ and his spell will reduce your |
|special defense occasionally. And when he does Barrier, it's time to do 4 men|
|combo magic! |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that, you'll move on to disc 2. Say goodbye to Europe cuz you can't go
there for sometime.
Yokohama, Brick Warehouses(xxyobxx)
-----------------------------------
Items: Naberius Crest, Seal of Speed, Mana Root, Lottery Ticket, Hit Area
Expand, Giant Pillar, Small Jug
Monsters: Akagi Soldier
Hm... you'll be playing Blanca a bit. Hopefully you have Cure magic on him so
you don't need to depend on thera stuff. Start by grabbing Dandy's Kimono from
the chest on the upper right corner. Put it on cuz you'll need it(I wonder how
a dog can wear kimono O_O). Now leave the warehouse on the left. Follow the
path until a cutscene takes over. Woah, he's cool isn't he. Anyway, finish the
3 soldiers(they do crappy damage) and Blanca will join the fun. After beating
them 3 times, you'll be given back control.
Head north(yea I know your running opposite direction) until you reach a train
On its left is a chest containing Naberius Crest. Now go down a bit and take
the stairs on the left and enter the door. From where you stood, go north and
examine the crates for a Seal of Speed. Now go all the way to the left and you
should be able to spot a chest. It has a Mana Root. Now leave the warehouse.
Continue your way south(without taking the stairs down) until you reach another
door. Enter it and take a few steps left. Examine the right side of the table
to snatch a Lottery Ticket. There's also a chest at the west side(beside the
barred door). It has Hit Area Expand. Be sure to check the barrels beside the
barred door too to get a Small Jug(info provided by
[email protected]).
Now leave the warehouse and head right, then down. On the right of the save
point lies an obvious chest that has Silver Rasp. Woot, upgrade for Blanca.
From the chest, head south(on the right side of the woods) for a cutscene.
After the fight you'll find out more about the samurai(and some amusing stuff).
Colorful Comb(a Blanca's specific item) will be picked up automatically.
When you get back control of Yuri, head left and leave the warehouse. You might
need to revisit the warehouses cuz there are more stuff to pick up. First, go
down until you see a stairs leading left. Take it and go left all the way and
enter the door(you visited this warehouse just now). Talk to the fella with
green pants, upgrade your stuff and remember to buy Raccoon Friend and Cimeies
Crest. Now leave and go down to the second warehouse you visited before. Check
on the red pillar on the left side of the room to get Joachim's a new weapon,
Giant Pillar. Exit the room and search for a Lottery Member #9(he moves around
and wears white shirt and green pants but there are 3 identical fella here), he
has Huge Jug on his red.
Now let's leave this place by going all the way south.
Yokohama, Yokohama Streets(xxyoyxx)
-----------------------------------
Items: Soul Drop, Amdusias Crest, Mr. Doctor, Attack Boost, The Sun(tarot card)
, Shining Oil, Lottery Ticket
Monsters: N/A
After the event. You'll be inside the old man's house. Start by going to the
upper left(beside the old man) to grab Soul Drop from a hidden chest. Now leave
his house. Now head left until you reach a T junction. Now look around to see
if you can spot 2 wheelbarrows, examine the middle of the 2 to get a Lottery
Ticket. Take the southwest path after that. After a few steps you should notice
a guy with orange clothes standing on the pavement. On his left you should be
able to see a chest. Open it for Amdusias Crest. Now go left into the next area
Now buy weapons and armors for everyone in your party, cuz you'll be using
all 8 members on the next er... dungeon(coral pendants as well if your used to
the slow speed). You should have around 100k so that's sufficient.(by now you
should have at least 30% discount). Now examine the floor under the black label
beside the brothers' car for Mr. Doctor stud card. Now go left until you reach
another T junction, talk to Tomoko the blue dress gal there a few times to get
Shining Oil. Now check the lamp post opposite of Tomoko for Ring Soul. From
that lamp post, go northwest a little and check the wooden door for The Sun
tarot card. Now leave the streets.
Yokohama, Battleship Mikasa(xxyomxx)
------------------------------------
Items: Attack Boost, Vapula Crest, Nibelung Scene 3, The Lovers(tarot card),
Cabin Key, Lottery Ticket, Vine Crest, Tent
Monsters: Akagi Soldier, Spider Walker, Flying Drone
Go left and examine the yellow crates on the upper left corner to find Ring
Soul. Now if you look closely under the ladder that leads you to the ship, it
has a hidden chest. Duck under the ladder and get Vapula Crest from it. Now
go into the ship.
Talk to the sailor in front of you to get Nibelung Scene 3. Now head right to
the end and go downstairs.
Pick the teams you want, try to balance it out a bit so your another team won't
need to run away from every battle. With the teams taken care of, it's time to
play some puzzle. It's not as hard as most ppl thought, since you can have a
full map of both levels by checking the console, with a little of planning and
thinking you should be able to figure out everything in no time. It's
definitely much more fun than following all the direction I give here. Anyway,
here's the direction I did:
1. Kurando's team, open the chest at the north side to get Security Key 1. Exa-
mine the console beside the locked door. Put the key into keyhole 2.
2. Switch to Yuri, go north and east into a room. Grab Security Key 2 from the
chest. Now examine the switch and insert the key into keyhole 1.
3. Switch to Kurando's team, take the key out, exit to the west, at the first
fork, head south then east and examine the 3 pipes to get The Lovers tarot
card. Now head west into the next area. Go left a bit then head north to
insert the key into keyhole 3.
4. Switch to Yuri, examine the switch and change the key into keyhole 2. Head
west all the way until you reach a chest at a corner. It has Cabin Key. Now
go right a little and head down at the fork. Talk to the sailor and he turns
out to be Lottery Member #8. He has P-Attack Down 3 on his red. After that,
head right into another area, take a south at the fork until you reach a T-
junction. Walk a few steps left and enter the door leading north. Examine
the table for a Lottery Ticket.
---
Treasure Hunting Miniquest:
Examine the uniform in the room to get Instant Death 2. Now Croft has went to
Yokohama Streets so be sure to talk to him after you get off the ship to get
another clue.
---
Anyway examine the switch and it will unlock Door A. Talk to the sailor here
to get healed.
5. Switch to Kurando. Head left and grab Vine Crest from a chest at the upper
right corner. Now examine the switch on the upper left corner. Door B is now
unlocked.
6. Switch to Yuri. Leave the room, go right, then up, then right into the
control room. Now examine the switch and change it to keyhole 1.
7. Switch back to Kurando. Leave this room(southeast exit) and go right then
up. Take the key out. Now head right into the next area. Go north at the
fork and turn right back to the control room. Now insert the key into key-
hole 2.
8. Switch to Yuri. Exit left, then down, then left again into the next area.
Keep going right until you reach a fork. Head north and insert the key into
keyhole 1.
9. Switch to Kurando. Take the key out and go left. Keep going left until you
reached a locked door.
10. Switch to Yuri, change the key into keyhole 4.
11. Switch to Kurando. Now you can exit left. Ignore the first fork south and
go west, now take the stairs down. Grab the obvious chest you see for a
Tent. Now examine the switch at the upper left corner to unlock Door C.
12. Switch to Yuri, take the key out. Go down a few steps then go left.
Now they are reunited. Talk to te sailor(or else you'll not be able to proceed
later, thanks to michael arana <
[email protected]> for the info) and
take the stairs at around the centre of the room here to go downstairs. Switch
to Kurando and bring him down as well.
After the scene, go up a bit, save and go into the room for a boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: LT. COL. TERADA, with 4 minions Akagi Soldier |
|HP: 3360 MP: 0(lol) |
|Element: Water |
|Difficulty: Cakewalk |
|Reward: Demon Earrings, Seal of Vita |
| Lottery Ticket(bonus for high combo hits) |
| |
|Kill the 4 guards first, before buffing everyone. Do any AOE spell to take |
|a few of them out. With Terada isolated, buff up your party with Arcs Gale/ |
|Rage. Now this guy is all about Physical dmg, and he's good at it(200+ dmg) I|
|would suggest do Arc Shield here as well to reduce the damage significantly. |
|His attack also causes speed down, but gale should counter it. Anyway it |
|should not be tough with constant healing. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enjoy the scene after that. I am not supposed to talk more about the plot but I
must say that fella who floats on a pillow is the MOST discusting character I
have ever seen. YUCK!
Imperial Capital, Hojo Research Lab(xxih1xx)
--------------------------------------------
Items: There are items here but I recommend you not to get it because Yuri's
party will visit later, so keep those to them.
Monsters: N/A
Save and exit thru the door beside it. Approach him for a fight. Just whack and
heal when needed. It shouldn't be tough at all. After that you'll need to do
some shooting. Just don't panic, they don't appear too fast altogether. Follow
the linear path into the next area. After shooting 30 targets, proceed into the
next area. Follow the path and exit right. Go right, at the fork, go up and go
into the next area. Pretty simple here, follow the straight way and exit south.
You'll need to shoot more targets. After doing that, follow the one way path
(while do some shooting) and Kato will tell you the it's finished. I got 5:22
and he said I've passed very nicely. It doesn't really matter tho cuz he's not
giving you any item. Now go right then go down at the fork to meet Raiden. Like
pokemon, where both friends and foes always ask to fight, same goes for him.
Same deal with raiden, whack and heal. This guy has more HP than Hien tho.
After beating him you'll get them into the party. Proceed down for a boss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: ARMORED FIGHTER |
|Element: Light |
|Difficulty: Easy |
|Reward: N/A |
| |
|Combo. Heal. Repeat. Be sure to put on physical defense reduce as well. This |
|boss does pretty good damage but the healing items should be more than enough|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The old man will ask you to go to his house, but before that, there's a wolf
bout to be done on Battleship Mikasa, so visit it again.
Start by going right and head downstairs. Save, and exit left at the upper left
corner. Continue left, ignoring the first fork, into the next area. Go left a
little and head down at the junction. Talk to the wooden toy(lol)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Wolf Bout 9: Carven |
|Reward: Soul Comet powered up |
|Location: Battleship Mikasa, after completing everything, revisit it. It's at|
|the upper deck(Kurando's) |
| |
|You'll need anti-petrification accessory(Zodiac Bracelet). You get petrify 2 |
|for beating him. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now go up, then right back to the first fork. This time head south, then west
all the way into a room. Now head left into one of the 2 doors and open the
wooden door. Talk to the cabin for a quiz. Check the quiz sidequest for answers
and info.
Now let's head to the Yokohama Streets. Head right pass the Magimel Brothers.
At the T-junction, talk to the gray suit man. Turns out he's the treasure
hunting dood, Croft. Anyway get your 4th clue. Now head to Kawashima's house.
Now leave this town and head to the Foreigner's Cemetery.
Yokohama, Foreigner's Cemetery(xxyofxx)
---------------------------------------
Items: Sp-Defend Down 3, Pure Root, Calming Charm, Strike Expand, Dispelling
Charm, Fifth Key, Attack Boost, Nibelung Scene 6, Soul Drop, Getitup!
Monsters: Noh Masks, Gaki, Pera-pera
Examine the gravestone opposite of the save point to get Sp-Defend Down 3. Save
and proceed left... for a boss fight(wow that's quick isn't it. You will not be
able to get most of the items listed but that's normal, you've gotta revisit
this place later to get them).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: TSUKIYOMI |
|HP: 3600 MP: 444 |
|Element: Light |
|Difficulty: Normal |
|Reward: Seal of Aura, Valak Crest |
| Loin Guard(bonus for high combo hits) |
| |
|This boss is cute(kinda like moonlight). Anyway Arc Gale/Rage up. Watch out |
|for his light/physical damage, it should drain around half of your HP, if it |
|hits more than 1, use Arc Cure. Combo as much as you can, he isn't very hard.|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that, your party will be fully healed. Go north, save and upgrade if you
wish(no new stocks tho).
Now hike along the narrow path until you reach a fork. Take a left and follow
the path into another fork. Get a Pure Root from the chest beside the statue
thingie and take a left again. Follow the path to the end to find a lone chest.
It has Calming Charm in it. Go back down to the fork and approach the right
path this time. You'll be then teleported back. Head up all the way back to the
first fork. Now take a right and follow the path. Hm... another fork. Grab the
chest for Strike Expand. Now take the right path. Take a left when you reach
yet another fork. At the end, you'll find Dispelling Charm in a chest.
Now go back all the way down to the first fork(to refresh your memories, the
first fork has no statue, chests whatsoever). Now take the left path there. Now
the right path will be unsealed so go there. Now pay attention when your climb-
ing the ladders. Around your left there will be another path leading down to a
chest that has Fifth Key. Continue your way a little and there'll be a save
point on your right. Heal, save up and prepare for a boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: GARAN, with 2 minions Pera-pera |
|HP: 3720 MP: 500 |
|Element: Dark |
|Difficulty: Okok |
|Reward: Oracle Earrings, Glasyalabolas Crest |
| Strike Expand(high combo hits) |
| |
|Take those peras out. Arc Gale/Rage up. Now I *HATE* him mad. He's not tough,|
|but he(or she?) is ugly and it does Mind Assault that takes out all your MP! |
|Anyway to make him pay be sure to kick his butt for good. His magic does hurt|
|a lot tho(250++) so you might wanna consider Arc Barrier. Combo, heal etc and|
|he'll down soon. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the long event, you'll be in the Capital.
Imperial Capital, Nihonbashi(xxin1xx)
-------------------------------------
Items: The Tower(tarot card), Daphne Fruit, Lottery Ticket, Buer Crest, Mana
Extract, Emcee's table, Seal of Wisdom
Monsters: Koshoki
Take a few steps up. Around where the bridge ends, check the right sight of the
screen to see if there's a green pillar thing. Examine the floor behind it to
get The Tower tarot card. Continue moving you'll reach a crossroad. Now try to
find a grayish metal door on the upper left corner. Examine it to get a Daphne
Fruit.
Now take a left. Walk left a little and you should notice a wrestling ring....
Yes Gama is there. Now if you have fought him 2 times before you come to Europe
, beat him here you'll get Joachim's last Muscle Art. If you didn't beat him 2
times to get Deathtron Hammer, then beating him here will grant you that skill
instead. If you want his last skill, you needa beat him again for the third
time(keep in mind that you cannot get Joachim's last skill at Southampton by
beating him the third time there because Nihonbashi has to be triggered before
he can learn the last skill. Gama will not let you fight the third time at
Southampton if Nihonbashi isn't triggered. Now the third battle is kinda
similar to the last one, but this time, Gama will use a Fifth Key instead of a
Third Key and it happens at his 5th turn. Either you beat him with the bat form
before the 5th turn or you guard on him or you use a Replacement Man. It
shouldn't be too tough anyway, whether he is your active member or not.
Now before asking him for a challenge let's pick up some stuff(and upgrade for
Joachim too). Before going in, check on the posters on the wall at the left of
a gray suit man for a Lottery Ticket. Now go inside, and find your way to the
upper left corner. Examine the table in front of the 2 men to get Emcee's Desk,
a weapon for Joachim. Now go to the right side of the ring, you'll find the
Magimel Brothers. At their far right, beside a tree is a chest that has Buer
Crest. With everything's done, hop to the ring to get Joachim's last skill,
Artem Buster.
When your done, go back to the crossroad and take a right. Save, and examine
the pillar beside the save point to get Mana Extract. Now let's take a look in
the park. An event will take over(their relation is getting more interesting
^^, the song playing at the background is very very nice as well, tho this is
the piano version). After that you'll be thrown into a fight(not a boss fight
officially tho) but he's tough so here's the stats.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|MONSTER: SHOKI |
|HP: 1140 MP: 455 |
|Element: Light |
|Difficulty: Normal |
|Reward: N/A |
| |
|You'll be forced to use Yuri, Karin, Anastasia and Joachim. Now do not |
|underestimate him because he's not a boss. He's a nasty thing because his aoe|
|spell hurts!(200+). Another reason he might be a problem is that you do not |
|have your usual party(for me I am lacking Blanca) and thus it might screw up |
|the crest magic arrangement. Oh well, if you can, Arc Barrier up and combo it|
|into oblivion. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After that you'll be fighting a Koshoki immediately, it's nothing hard tho,
considering that it has only 244 hp. After the fight, leave the park and you'll
have all your characters back. Save and upgrade your stuff with Gerard. Sarah
is here so you can take the Solomon Trials. When your done head left or talk to
Karin to proceed.
After some talk you'll use the Mutant Apes to fight 3 Koshokis. Bah, you can't
lose seriously with 3x level 50 characters. Clear them 3 times and you'll fight
the real boss, with Yuri's party of course.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Boss: SHOKI |
|HP: 4550 MP: 455 |
|Element: Light |
|Difficulty: Normal |
|Reward: Judgment tarot card, Seal of Vitality |
| Seal of the Soul(perfect ring) |
| |
|Arc Gale/Rage/Barrier up everyone. It does around the same dmg like the first|
|Shoki but it has around 4x more HP and it does Instant Death occasionally, so|
|you might wanna slap in Leonardo's Bear, altho it can be easily countered |
|Blanca's awesome Comeback. Now with the usual combos, heal, this boss should |
|be down in no time. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the long event, if you have a Perfect Successes of 65% or above(The Ring
Success requirement of 95% isn't needed, I personally have 94.7% Ring Success
Rate and 77.00% Perfect Success Rate and I still get it) he will give you an
AWESOME item called Extreme. It triples Physical Attack Power but the down
point is that the Hit Area diminishes when the ring starts to revolve. Oh well
it's much better to use when you can buy Strike Area later(when the final
dungeon appears, the Junk Shop at Cathedral, Paris sells it) you can switch to
gamble ring and increase the strike area greatly so that you need to memorize
only the one area. However, if you want to use it now, I suggest you change the
ring to Practice(since I think it's almost impossible to hit the reds when it's
invisible and it will stop your perfect success rate from dropping) and
memorize the areas as much as you can, but then again, it would be kinda
overpowered and ruin the challenge of the game.
Anyway there are several things you need to do now before visiting Hojo. First
go back to Nihonbashi and go to the green pillar where you found The Tower.
There should be a man standing there now, and he's Lottery Member #7 in
disguise. Be sure to get Warning Device from him because you need this thing to
kill Tengu in Forest of Wind and complete your monster library. His ring is
nasty tho... cuz it might go faster and slower randomly, however if you hit the
right place(several degrees from the red) it will always end up there.
---
Trading Miniquest:
There's a woman standing close to Gama's wrestling ring that will exchange
Getitup! if you have Burning Candle. End of the trading quest for you.
---
Now go to the park where Karin and Yuri talked. At the upper left corner is a
chest with Seal of Wisdom. Beside it is a wolf, wee, wolf bout.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Wolf Bout 10: Eleanor(god... she's... like... Garan....) |
|Reward: Soul Comet powered up |
|Location: Nihonbashi park, after defeating Shokis |
| |
|Oh I think Karin's VA did her, not sure tho. Anyway, you might wanna put on |
|Pocket Watch if your not used to Small Ring that she does >< You'll get |
|Frilly Apron and Stolas Crest for beating her. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
---
Trading Miniquest:
If you have Talking Panda, be sure to avoid the gal beside Eleanor cuz she'll
exchange it for a Third Key and thus screwing up the trading quest.
---
Now let's take a visit to the Foreigner's Cemetery. Take a few steps left into
the next screen. Now look hard and try to find some red flowers at your south
(before the path turning 90 degrees), go close and examine it(you can't reach
it tho) to have a talk with Ring Soul. Now continue your way pass an old an
with red shirt and you should encounter another identical old man shortly. Talk
to him to get Nibelung Scene 6. Now examine the 2nd gravestone with a cross
from his right to get Soul Drop. Hm... I guess it's time we take a visit to the
Hojo Lab.
Imperial Capital, Hojo Research Lab, revisited(xxih2xx)
-------------------------------------------------------
Items: Loin Guard, Evasion Down 3, Thera Root, Lottery Ticketx2, Dragonsword,
Strike Expandx2, Pure Root, Step Tripler, Sp-Attack Down 3, Daphne Fruit
, Seal of Luck, Fifth Key, Tent
Monsters: Steel Soldier, Beetle Walker, Flying Drone X
*Note: You will not be able to travel back here once you leave, so be sure to
get the items here or you'll miss it, especially the Triple Accelerator.*
After the even, you should know what to do. Head into the door and you'll come
out disguised as a soldier. Now enter the building. Save is at the west side
and you need to go to the upper left corner to take a lift. After the event,
just go right straight into a door for a long scene.
When you get control back, head back and enter the door into the experiment
room, examine the device that locks Nicolai up for a Loin Guard. Now let's
leave this room. Now save and head thru to the door beside it. Take a few steps
north and stop. Now look hard to your left, you should be able to see a chest
beside a bunch of metal tin barrels, open it for Evasion Down 3. Now go to the
upper left corner and take the stairs up. Follow the linear path and you'll get
a Thera Root at the end. Go back down and take the upper right exit.
Take a few steps up and you'll reach a fork. Head right all the way to its end
and examine the ventilator thing(?) for a Lottery Ticket. Now go all they way
left into a door. Walk a little left and turn south at the crossroad. There's
a chest down there with a Dragonsword. Back at the fork, go left then up all
the way to the shooting room. Examine the table at box 4 to get another Lottery
Ticket. Leave this room at the north exit.
Follow the path until it turns to left, check the upper left corner(the
ventilator thingie) for Strike Expand. Now follow the main path until you see
a branch going south, follow it and get Pure Root at its end. Now let's go left
into another area. Follow the path and turn left into a door at the fork.
Go a little down and then left to snatch Strike Expand from the chest. Now
follow the way down into the next area. Proceed down to continue. Now go down
until you reach a crossroad, take a left and examine the lower corner for a
Step Tripler. Now go down into the room where Ouka starts. Examine the right
side of the bed in this room to get Sp-Attack Down 3. The exit is at the lower
left corner.
Grab the chest in front of you for a Daphne Fruit. Save and climb the stairs up
On your way up, check out the wires at the floor with 5\4 sign on its wall
for a Seal of Luck. Check out the lower left corner at the platform right after
4\3(but before 3\2, it's partially hidden) for a Fifth Key. Eventually you'll
reach floor 1, just directly opposite of that sign is a chest with a Tent.
Follow the path right into a door. Now save, heal up and prepare for a boss.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: MASTER CYLINDER |

| Warlock Earrings(high combo hits) |
| |

|scientist for god's sake. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imperial Capital, Nihonbashi, revisited(xxin2xx)
------------------------------------------------
Items: N/A
Monsters: N/A
Go all the way north and you'll meet up Anastasia and Joachim. Now go right and
go back to the park, ok, Blanca and Kurando done! Now hike all the way left
back to the Gama wrestling ring. Lucia and Gepetto can be found beside the
Magimel Brothers. Now try to leave the town and you'll be interrupted by an
event. Wee, from now on, you can travel to Europe and Japan freely.
There are several things you might wanna do:
1. Visit Ernest for The Emperor tarot card.
2. You can also buy Asmodeus Crest at Petrograd now for 100k. The seller is a
drunken dood somewhere before the bridge where Rasputin hired Victor.
3. Travel back to Port of Southampton, go to the hotel where you stayed before.
Now talk to Sefo, the drunken fella who told you to go thru Rhondda Mine to
reach Wales and he'll give you Nibelung Chapter 9. You'll need to have all
the 8 chapters before you can get this tho.
Anyway, once your satisfied, let's go to Forest of Wind.
Forest of Wind(xxfowxx)
-----------------------
Items: Hit Area Expand, Mana Root, Strike Expand, Seal of the Soul, Malphas
Crest
Monsters: Towd(dungeon), Enku(dungeon), Yomi Samurai(dungeon), Mutant Snail
(forest)
Keep moving until a cutscene ensues. Crap, based on the looks I am pretty sure
you know who's behind it. Ah, it seems the brothers are here too(not that you'd
feel strange anymore), but too bad they don't have new stuff. Now the dungeon
is pretty simple, here is a small replica of it.
--------
\ /\ /
\/ \/
----
\ /
\/
All you need to do is basically go thru all the lines once. There are certainly
many many ways to do it but here's what I did:
1. First, take a left, and go all the way to the upper left corner. There
should be a chest with Hit Area Expand at the 4-ways fork on your way. At
the end of your path at the upper left corner, there should be another chest
that has a Mana Root.
2. Now go all the way right to the upper right corner. Open the chest there for
Strike Expand. Now go down but this time stop at the fork. Take the north-
west path and you'll reach the top part again.
3. Take the southwest path until you reach back to the fork which had Hit Area
Expand.
4. Take the right path(the only path you haven't walked) then go southwest to
complete the triangle.
Now examine the sealed gate and it will be unlocked. Go thru it and prepare for
a boss....
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: YAMA GARAN, with 3 minions Enku |
|HP: 5100 MP: 600 |
|Element: Dark |
|Difficulty: A little tough |
|Reward: Poison 3, Marbas Crest |
| Seal of Aura(few enemy turns) |
| |
|Clean off the minions. Be sure to Arc Gale/Barrier/Rage up. Now mages are |
|totally useless here and he's immune to Special dmg. He will start with Mind |
|Assault as usual so be sure to recover the MP. He will also use magic that is|
|effective on your character's element so that's why I highly recommend using |
|Arc Barrier. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll now be at the Inugami Village... before that, let's go back and visit
Forest of Wind again. Follow the path and you'll reach a new area. Now hog on
your right and around the end of the path while pressing X, somewhere around
where the path ends hides a Seal of the Soul, now follow the linear path until
you see a fork.
---
Treasure Hunting Miniquest:
Examine around the floor where the path splits into 2(it's slightly right of
the intersection) to get the 4th treasure, Blood Jewel(Quite a number of people
emailed me that they arent't able to get it, so here's a more detailed
description about the location. First, get to the intersection, from there,
move a little right until you see the camera view changes. Now keep pressing
the X button, and backtrack slowly to the left, back to the intersection, you
should be able to get it now). Now go back to Yokohama Streets and get the
final clue from Croft. The final treasure is at Imperial Capital>Mukyo-An,
where Naniwa lives, so go there now. Examine the stone thing(opposite of where
Naniwa is sitting)beside the pond to get the last treasure, Dog Bone. This
miniquest is completed, the only thing left to do is talk to the small boy who
stands at the place where Croft did, and he'll tell you that he has left.
---
Back to the fork, take a right and follow the narrow path all the way to its
end. Examine the grasses to get Malphas Crest. You might also wanna put Warning
Device on and run around at the Forest of Wind to get Tengu, kill it and he'll
go into your monster library, if you use Anastasia, you might wanna snapshot
him to get Falling Leaves into her album.
With everything's done, let's get ourselves to Inugami Village.
Inugami Village(xxinvxx)
------------------------
Items: Soul Drop, Silver Angel, Attack Boost, Valefor Crest, Clay Idol, Lottery
Ticket. Seal of Aura. The Star(tarot card)
Monsters: N/A
Now take a look around. You should be able to spot a small little house a few
steps in front of you. Now examine it and you'll find Soul Drop in a chest
placed inside there. Now take a left and you'll find Magimel Brothers and a
save point. Examine the tree just beside the save point and you'll find Lottery
Member #6! Omfg and it's a bug too. Anyway its red is Dark Angel, an accessory
that increases SP by 20%. Magimel Brothers also have weapon and armor upgrades,
so be sure to buy them. Now follow the path and you'll see a red shirt man with
straw hat patrolling back and forth. Just north of him is some radish being
dried. Now go behind the radish and examine the floor to get Silver Angel. Walk
a few steps right and examine the green bush at the left of a chest for Ring
Soul. The chest I mentioned contains Valefor Crest. Now save and heal up every-
body cuz there's a boss fight next. Take the stone path beside the save point
to proceed. Walk a few steps right and you should notice a white pillar
strangely placed, examine it and you'll get Clay Idol, a weapon for Joachim.
Continue your path to find you'll see a cave hole.
---
Trading Miniquest:
If you have Talking Panda, talk to the guy standing at the entrance of the hole
, exchange with him to get 10-day-old Rice.
---
Enter it. After the nice CG, you'll be forced to fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: KOUENKI |
|HP: 5720 MP: 582 |
|Element: Fire |
|Difficulty: Challenging |
|Reward: Seal 3 |
| Oracle Earrings(few enemy turns) |
| |
|Buff up your party and attack with combos. She can seal your mages so you |
|wanna equip anti-seal accessories on them. Both her magic and attack hurts, |
|but definitely not enough to instantly kill off your character. But be warned|
|! When she's low in HP, she'll energy charge up and deal CRAZY physical |
|damage. You might not be able to block in time so Arc Shield before that or |
|simply let the character die. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After some events, you'll be inside Saki's house, leave thru the door on the
right. Now there's a Lottery Ticket on the floor beside the stairs. Now go up-
stairs to find Saki. After some talking, you will be moved downstairs again,
who knows why. Anyway leave the room and go upstairs. Check the left side of
the old woman to get Sunrise Oil. Now check the upper right corner of the room
(close to the old man) to get Seal of Aura. Now let's leave the house. Before
leaving, check out the yellow flowers outside the house on the garden at the
right side of the door. You'll get The Star tarot card.
Don't leave Inugami yet, cuz there's a wolf bout to be done. Go back to the
place where you fought Kouenki, you should bump into Matsunaga at the waterfall
and he wants a fight. Fine.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Wolf Bout 11: Matsunaga |
|Reward: Soul Comet powered up |
|Location: Inugami Village, the place where you fought Kouenki. |
| |
|He doesn't do nasty stuff to mess up but he uses P-Defend Down... well |
|nothing much you can do to counter that(well you might wanna slap on Shield |
|but I feel it's just a waste of turn) so just whack him fast and he'll be a |
|goner. Took me 4 turns to finish him. You'll get P-Defend Down 3 for beating |
|him. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last thing you wanna do is go to Yokohama Brick Warehouses to buy Bune
Crest from Kensuke, the secret dealer who sold you a crest, racoon friend last
time.
Now let's go to the Immortal Mountain, Mt. Fuji.
Immortal Mountain(xximmxx)
--------------------------
Items: Pure Extract, Samigina Crest, Red Crystal, Blue Crystal, Yellow Crystal
, Orias Crest, Hades Fan, Attack Boost
Monsters: Blooming Phoenix, Samurai Ghoul, Lava Lump, Scorpilus
Proceed up, and you should find a save. Now hog onto your left, jam the X
button and you should get Pure Extract just a little distance from the save.
Follow the path and you'll reach a glowing statue eventually. Before you wanna
mess with it, take the left fork before it and you'll find Red Crystal at its
end. Now ignore the glowing statue once again and head to the right. Samigina
Crest is in a chest at the end of the path here. Now let's examine the statue
and put the red crystal in.
You'll be teleported to another area. Now ignore the first statue you see and
take a left at the fork. You should be able to find Blue Crystal at the end of
the path. Now take the blue crystal and put it into the first statue(not the
one that's close to the save point). After being teleported, go south all the
way to find Yellow Crystal on a chest. Now go back to the teleportation device
and go back. Examine the statue and take the Blue Crystal out. Now head south
going all the way back to the first teleporter. Examine the statue to take out
the Red Crystal.
"In the Immortal Mountain section you're missing a Huge Jug. Here is the
relevant paragraph:
Now go back to the device and teleport back. Take the Yellow Crystal out and
head left to get teleported back. Examine the statue and take the Blue Crystal
out. Now go north, save and put the Blue Crystal into the statue beside the
save point. Follow the path and head down to meet the last Ring Soul. After
that, continue right and find your way to the upper left corner. Put the yellow
Crystal and teleport.
On the upper left corner where you would put the Yellow Crystal if you just go
to the right slightly and face north you'll get teh Huge Jug." Info provided by
[email protected]
Now put in the Blue Crystal and get teleported. Now follow the way path and put
the Red Crystal into the statue at the upper left corner. Get teleported, and
follow the linear path north. On your way, there should be a chest on your
right, open it for Orias Crest. Continue your way and you'll find another
statue. This time insert the last Yellow Crsytal and get teleported. Follow the
linear path and you'll bump into the 12th Wolf, Lobo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|Wolf Bout 12: Lobo |
|Reward: Aurora learnt |
|Location: Immortal Mountain, do blue>red>yellow crystal sequence and you'll |
| meet him. |
| |
|He does around 100 dmg and deals Instant Death, so be sure to have Leonardo's|
|Bear equipped. With that equipped, he shouldn't be much of a threat if you |
|have been using Blanca. You'll get Instant Death 3 for beating him. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You might wanna talk to Ernest at Monmartre, Paris as he told you. But you can
only find Tetsu there, so talk to him to find out why. Well he doesn't say much
but you'll get Seventh key. You'll also get a note from Ernest that tells you
that you need 3 more paw prints before you actually complete the Wolf Bout
challenge. You can actually do the 3 wolves now but Henri the next wolf you
need to meet is in a sidequest dungeon. So check out the Wolf Bout sidequest
for more information about where to get the last 3.
Back to Immortal Mountain, now put the Red Crystal back into the first statue.
After teleported, head north and put the Blue Crystal into the first statue you
bump into. Get teleported, and take the right path down to another statue.
Insert the last Yellow Crystal and get teleported. Follow the path north to a
dead end and examine the floor to get Hades Fan.
Now go back to the device and teleport back. Take the Yellow Crystal out and
head left to get teleported back. Examine the statue and take the Blue Crystal
out. Now go north, save and put the Blue Crystal into the statue beside the
save point. Follow the path and head down to meet the last Ring Soul. After
that, continue right and find your way to the upper left corner. Put the yellow
Crystal and teleport.
Hm... looks hot. Take the left path first, you'll then reach a dead end.
Examine the floor somewhere around the top right at the end for a Seal of Life.
Now go back to the 3-way fork and take the right path. At its end is a chest
with Thera Extract. Now go back to the fork and take the middle path. After
some walk you'll come out from a hole. There's a chest at the lower right
corner here so check it out for Kogara-Maru, a weapon for Kurando. Follow the
linear path until a cutscene takes over.
Before crossing the bridge, look around at the lower right corner to spot a
chest with Mana Extract. Now walk the bridge but try to stick on the left side
of it and jam the X button, you should be able to get Flare Brooch, an item
that halves SP consumption when fused. Be sure to let Yuri/Kurando have it!
Cross the bridge, save, heal up and prepare for a boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: NEO ASTAROTH |
|HP: 6120 MP: 630 |
|Element: None |
|Difficulty: Easy |
|Reward: Delay 3, Astaroth Crest |
| Dark Angel(bonus for high combo hits) |
| |
|Arc Gale/Rage/Barrier up. He shouldn't be too hard if you have Barrier up. |
|Just combo him as much as you can and he should be down in no time. Keep in |
|mind that he will cast Cure Plus to himself when he's low in HP, healing for |
|800 HP. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll be back in Inugami Village after the event.
Zurich is up at Europe now, so take a visit to there. Nothing much here, just
a cutscene and you'll get Anne's Cross, a Karin's specific item that stops ring
/status ailments. Very very useful.
You can get Joachim's second best weapon, Dark Tower now if you revisit Le
Havre(near the granny's shop). You have to beat a Peach Bat tho. She does an
extremely strong attack on her 4th turn(altho she said she'll do it on the 5th,
she lied) so either you turn into a bat and take her out or you use a Replace-
ment Man or you can also use Extreme/Mind's Eye. You'll get Priest Earrings, a
Lottery Ticket and Dark Tower for beating her out, as well as 30k experience
for Joachim.
Now head to the Foreigner's Cemetery.
After the scene, you'll need to go to that minister's mansion.
Imperial Capital, Azabu Kamiyashiki(xxiakxx)
--------------------------------------------
Items: Lottery Ticket, Locker 5 Key, Seal of Strength, Locker 1 Key, Mind's Eye
, Pure Extract
Monsters: Titanium Soldiers
After the cutscene you'll be in the house. Take a few steps forward and you'll
encounter a some soldiers that you can't avoid. You might wanna enter the room
on your right, but it doesn't have anything except some soldiers to fight.
Continue the linear path, there will be some soldier fights on the way. Be sure
to enter the room on your right on the way. At the left of the save point,
examine the waste paper basket for a Lottery Ticket. Now leave the room back to
the main path. Forward and you'll be forced for another fight. After that, take
the stairs up. Save, and go to the room on the left. Beat the soldiers, examine
one of them to get Locker 5 Key. Leave the room, go down a few steps, and enter
the room on the right. Beat the soldier, and check the upper left corner in
this room for a chest with Seal of Strength. Now check the soldier you beated
for Locker 1 Key. Leave this room and go *NORTH* and head downstairs. Enter the
room on your right which has a save point. Examine the first locker from the
left to get Mind's Eye. Check the 5th locker from the left to get a Pure
Extract.
Go back upstairs and go thru the door leading south. Be sure to save and heal
up everyone. You'll need to fight thru some soldiers before you battle Terada.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: MECHA LORD |
|HP: 6380 MP: 555 |
|Element: Water |
|Difficulty: Annoying but not hard |
|Reward: Ashra's Earrings, Seal of Force |
| |
|Man, he's annoying as hell, cuz he's immune to P-attack. You might wanna use |
|some mages here, and characters like Joachim and Kurando won't do well. He's |
|water so be sure to equip strong fire magic. Another thing bad is that since |
|you'll be using magic it's much harder to combo(magic tends to break the |
|combo). Arc Gale/Shield up cuz this guy does crazy physical damage, you might|
|wanna surge up too cuz you'll be using all sp-attack. If your using strong |
|spells that drain lots of MP, be sure to bring up some MP healing items. If |
|your using Anastasia, remember to snap him to add Power Canon into her album.|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You'll be back in Inugami Village afterwards. Now leave the village and head to
Imperial Capital> Azabu Kamiyashiki. Go into the locker room and check the
fifth locker from the left, you'll find Lottery Member #5 inside. His red is a
Slow 3, not really powerful but you might wanna get it since you've got so many
Lottery Tickets by now anyway. He uses reverse ring, but the old trick works so
it shouldn't be much of a hassle anyway. Now let's leave for Europe.
Queen's Garden will be available now, so head to there.
Queen's Garden(xxqugxx)
-----------------------
Items: Thera Extract, Hit Area Expand, Lottery Ticket, Flamberge, Paralysis 3,
Nibelung Finale, Gusion Crest
Monsters: Bethlehem, Graffias, Morgan
Save here. Talk to Roger if your looking for a heal. Now go inside. Go to the
middle door first. Open the chest on the west side of the room for a Thera
Extract. You should see some shiny thing on the right side of the table. Check
it for Knight, a chess piece. Leave this room and take the left door.
Follow catwalk and enter the door. Check the chest on the left for Hit Area
Expand. Now go into the right door. Open the blatant chest lying on the floor
for Pawn, another chess piece. Check the grandfather clock for a Lottery Ticket
Now if you explore around you should get some description about the
surrounding objects, here are some of them:
1. The picture of a man's face is always facing side(or the face of the man is
facing down)
2. The glass door of the book case is off and sitting on the floor.
3. The flag is hanging from the ceiling and it's blue.
4. There's a picture hanging on the wall and it's tilted toward the flag.
5. The sofa is facing the entrance.
6. The vase is on the table beside the bed.
7. The chair by the table is facing the bookcase.
You'll know what to do with those later. Let's leave the room and head north.
Enter the door at the end. 4 doors here, the south door is locked, the north
door leads to a boss, but let's take the right door. Follow the narrow path and
you'll head to another area. Examine the left door and insert the pawn.
Now look carefully in this room, it's actually a mirror image to the room where
it gives many description about the objects, now if you fix the stuff around
here to match the previous room the chest in the middle will be unlocked. I
can't give out the stuff needed to fix here, cuz from my experience the objects
are randomly arranged, so use the description I gave above to fix everything.
Also, be sure to get a Seal of Firce from a chest at the lower right corner,
next to the bed(thanks to
[email protected] for the info).
After you have done it correctly, the chest will be unlocked, and you'll get
Queen, another chess piece. Now leave the room, take the north exit and go back
to the place with 4 doors. The south door can now be unlocked with the queen
chess piece.
Enter the room and check the chess board. Pick the third choice and you'll get
King, the final chess piece. Now go behind the pool table and open a hidden
chest with Flamberge. Leave the room, take the right door. Follow the linear
path and take the south door. On the curve heading back to the first area,
stick yourself to the left wall and press X while walking, you should be able
to get Paralysis 3 when the curve almost reaches horizontal. Now exit the door
at the end. Go into the middle door and examine the fire place at north. Insert
the King piece go back all the way up back to the place with 4 doors.
Take the north exit, save at the end, and enter the door for a boss fight.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: KING TAMAKOS |
|HP: 6450 MP: 675 |
|Element: Wind |
|Difficulty: Easy |
|Reward: Seal of Speed, Strength tarot card |
| Seal of the Urn(Ring No Miss Victory) |
| |
|Arc Gale/Rage up and proceed with combo. Nothing much to worry here, he might|
|do SP lowering occasionally so counter it with Pure stuff. He might also do |
|Spirit Ward that causes one of the character to disappear and unable to fight|
|when he's low HP, nothing much you can counter so just finish him ASAP. The |
|character booted out will still gain experience so no worries. And snap him |
|to add another skill, Spirit Ward, into Anastasia's album. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
After some scenes you'll be inside the Graveyard. You couldn't open the door
Jeanne went into, so head all the way back and leave the Graveyard.
Roger will tell you to go to his little house, but I am sure he can wait, now
let's go back to Queen's Garden and go back where you fought King Tamakos.
First check the north wall behind the altar for the Final Nibelung Scene. You
will have to fight an optional boss called Guardian.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|BOSS: GUARDIAN |
|HP: 6800 MP: 720 |
|Element: Light |
|Difficulty: A little tough |
|Reward: P-Attack Down 4, Seal of Life |
| Demon Earrings(high combo hits bonus) |
| |
|His physical attack can be deadly to spell casters, so you might wanna shield|
|up. Just do what you do mostly in boss fight and he shouldn't be too tough, |
|and he's slow too. Sometimes, he does Energy Charge so you might wanna block |
|on the next turn. Another thing to mention is that his Meteor Storm spell is |
|very flashy :p Be sure to combo as much as you can here because Demon |
|Earrings is an extremely good accessory, you won't wanna miss the chance to |
|get it. |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now you'll get Nibelung Finale for Karin. Examine the back of the table with
2 candles and a cross for the last item here, Gusion Crest. Now let's head to
Roger's house in Wales. Take the lift and go down. Approach the right door and
enjoy this awesome event.
Man, that was touching... at least to me. Anyway, let's fly to Inugami Village.
You'll be inside the Graveyard then and you forced to stay. Let's head to the
north door and keep going until you see Jeanne. After your done talking to
Jeanne, exit the door at north for another short scene. After that, go to the
door at north again for yet another event...
When your back to Inugami Village, take a look at Yuri's Profile, now the
description will be changed and it says that Yuri is no longer affected by the
curse, and when Yuri fuses, he will not longer acts in pain but fuses with
style instead. Neat stuff.
Now let's go to Saki's house and find her downstairs in a room. After resting
for a night, leave her house. Yuri will notice Karin's missing when they are
about to leave. Now go to the waterfall to find Karin.
The awesome song is playing in the background again... and the scene makes me
pity and like Karin even more >< Anyway without spoiling any further let's
leave the village and Asuka Stone Platform, the final dungeon is up! Now is a
good time to finish up all the sidequests getting ultimate gears but before
that please head to the Stone Platform(you'll know why later)
Asuka Stone Platform(xxaspxx)
-----------------------------
You might realize that it's harder to hit perfect ever since disc 2, cuz the
game reduces the strike area bit by bit when you get better weapons(thanks to
"ffff" about this). But fear not! Cuz the junk shop at Paris>Cathedral is now
selling Strike Expand for 20k!(when Immortal Mountain is available, info is
contributed by
[email protected]) Well you can still get a discount of 50% so
50 of them costs 500k, which is affordable I guess(I have 700k+ at this point).
Well be sure to buy them cuz they help getting perfect a lot.
All of the sidequests are unlocked as well, but I'd suggest heading into the
dungeon(stepping the yellow pentagon thing) at least once just to be safe
because occasionally there are ppl who complain that they cannot access to the
optional dungeons eventho the Asuka is up.
*Sidenote: I highly recommend skipping the sidequests for now and fight the
final boss right now because it's much more fun and challenging(and tough as
well), and then reload it later and do the sidequest. This is because once you
have done all the sidequest and gotten all the ultimate gears, the last boss
will be nothing but a pushover and it just doesn't feel right. Since the game
ends and you get an option to save after beating the final boss, so BE SURE to
save another slot if you plan to do the sidequests after beating the final boss
