ABOUT
==========================================================================
=======================================================================
This is a guide for the PS2 game The Legend of Alon D'ar. Seemingly doomed to
obscurity, I rather enjoy it, if for no other reason than the exploration
potential. I wrote this guide for the sole reason that few other exist; I do
not like exploring games that are already adequately researched. I harbor no
illusion as to the quality of this game; it is mediocre and poorly polished.
The difficulty curve is steep, and the story and mechanics often resemble a
cross between the worst aspects of a WRPG and JRPG.
But this is a guide for the game! If we are this far, it is a safe assumption
both I, the writer, and you, the player, are here to learn about the game, if
not actually play it. This guide is a best effort on my part. There is so
little information about this game and its mechanics, even within the game
itself, it is impossible to document it all without hacking (I lack the
ability and knowledge to do so).
This guide assumes the player can guide themselves through. It does little
hand-holding, but due to the terribly linear nature (even going so far as to
bar entry to nearly ANYWHERE not associated with your current goal) a full
walkthrough is hardly needed. Some problem-solving and a LOT of exploring on
the part of the player/reader is not only assumed, but required. Scour every
inch of each area searching for battles and use logic when hunting
collectibles.
This game can actually be decent, but only if the player works to make it so.
If nothing else, it is an experience, and beating it legitimately is quite an
accomplishment. At the very least, it is far from the "worst game ever."

NOTES ABOUT THE GAME
--------------------------
MAXIMUM PP
~PP (Proficiency Points) are limited in this game. Enemies do not respawn,
except by moving the story, and thus there are a limited number of battles.
Along with that, PP gained from events (such as collectibles) is not applied
to characters who have not joined yet. To ensure getting maximum PP for all
four party members, do not collect ANY unnecessary PP until all four members
have been assembled. Unnecessary PP includes PP bonuses from collectibles,
mainly, as enemy groups will change after each character has been recruited.
By my estimates, there is approximately 484,000 PP total throughout the game,
with over 400,000 of that available to all four characters. This gives a
comfortable buffer of around 184,000 PP that can be missed without losing out
on reaching Lv10, keeping in mind later characters join with some PP already
on their record.
EFFECTIVE PP DISTRIBUTION
~As was mentioned, there is limited PP in the game. Because of this, don't
squander it on skills for weapons or magics you won't use! Each character
should focus on one or two weapons and magic types, and if they have spare,
maybe a third (or fourth). Priorities are mastering one weapon type for each
character (all skills to Lv6) and White Magic for two characters. Everything
else is preference and most things will work well enough to finish the game.
The characters that join Jarik start with a higher level, but 0 available
PP. This is because they start with some skills already leveled, causing
them to waste a lot of experience if you decide to walk them down different
paths. Not that other weapons and magics can't be used, but the existing
skill levels are the compensation for not having access to as much PP as
Jarik gets.
ALL THAT GLITTERS IS GOLD
~Gold is limited just like PP is, although there is much more of it than a
player would normally need. Assuming the selling of most potions after the
first few areas of the game, selling of all spoils, fighting all groups
possible, and harvesting all herbs and selling the resulting potions will
provide more than enough for anything. The only way to spend that much gold
is to try and buy every character every skill and magic from a Portal (which
WILL bankrupt you, no matter when or what).
By my estimations, buying every skill for every character will cost about
120,000 gold. A very rough estimate of the total gold is somewhere around
200,000 gold. This may vary, as missed enemy groups, missed chances to pick
all possible herbs and sell the resulting potions, not winning every item
drop in every battle possible, and throwing cheaper stuff away (such as herbs
or potions) due to periods of no shop access all impact your final score of
gold. Unless you go to great lengths to miss out on gold, however, there
should be more than enough to buy a few complete skillsets for each character,
as well as whatever weapons and armor may be needed.
QUEST ITEMS
~Quest items are important items for story advancement. They have their own
special inventory list and do not take up space in your regular inventory.
They are used automatically and function much like in other RPGs.
The one difference that should be noted is that the quest item list is
regularly "revised," with any items that are rendered useless being removed
automatically. As such, any unused quest items, or ones that have become
deprecated by virtue of advancing far enough will disappear from the list,
making it pointless to refrain from using a quest item to keep it on the
list.
ENCOUNTERING ENEMIES
~When attempting to battle enemies, the battles are triggered by a pre-
defined "zone" which, if entered, starts the battle. In some cases you
can get close to or even right next to enemies you see without triggering
a battle, but dare to step a foot away and boom, fight time.
SPOILS OF WAR
~Battle spoils work somewhat oddly. You get PP for each monster, based on
how many were killed (as one may expect). However, you only get gold for
each monster TYPE. A monster gives 50PP and 100 gold. Defeating a single
one will thus give 50PP and 100 gold. However, defeating a group of five
would give 250 PP (50 PP x 5), but still only 100 gold. If there was another
enemy present who gives 200PP and 250 gold, you would get 450PP (250 x 5 +
200), and 350 gold (100 + 250).
Item drops work the same way as gold - each monster type can drop an item,
although any or all of the items they drop may be dropped (a single Lurker
may drop a Wither AND Spike Potion, for example).
EARLY-GAME JARIK
~The early game is the hardest part of this game. Little money, scarce PP,
and poor selection of items makes it a chore. Your weapon choice is much
more critical than you may think though, as you don't want to waste money
and PP on weapons you can't make much use of, nor can you easily afford and
keep leveled up several weapon types. The game gives you a Katar to start,
but this may not be the best option. A sword could serve Jarik better,
especially near the end of the game.
A truly good choice, however, is a 2H Axe. It may seem a ludicrous and random
suggestion, but here's the kicker: This weapon is "chopping," as opposed to
cutting for daggers and swords. EVERY ENEMY up until Moorlets in chapter 5
are either neutral to or weak against chopping weapons. Many, however, resist
either cutting or blunt (hammers and staves). Using a 2H Axe let's you focus
on one skillset for a long time that works on everything. The axes are also
powerful, and one in particular (Large Ornate Axe) has 50 melee damage (the
highest of all normal weapons in the game, barring one 2H Sword in the
endgame), and is given for FREE rather early in the game. With this axe, all
PP poured into leveling Damage and especially Speed, and a good sense of
when you need to heal, a 2H Axe will carry you until the endgame, when the
switch to a 1H Sword (an ultimate weapon) can be made extremely
easily.
CLASS TITLES AND LEVELS
~This is a list of the various class titles. These are based on the number of
skills learned. A character's class also affects their outfit. A War Lord
wears a differently colored and designed outfit than a Swashbuckler, for
example. Class titles are dynamic - One could be a Legend one minute, then
level up a single magic skill one level, and suddenly be a Myth, complete
with corresponding outfit change. These have no effect on anything BUT
appearance, however.
This also lists the PP requirements for each level. It is very possible to
not reach Level 10 by the end of the game if enough enemy groups are
skipped! So be careful not to miss too many, if any, when playing through
the game.
Level X: Physical / Balanced / Magical / PP Required
Level 0: Youth / 0
Level 1: Youth / 750
Level 2: Recruit / Wanderer / Apprentice / 3001
Level 3: Fighter / Explorer / Novice / 7501
Level 4: Warrior / Trail Blazer / Acolyte / 15001
Level 5: Veteran / Tracker / Conjuror / 30001
Level 6: Champion / Fortune Hunter / Magician / 55001
Level 7: War Lord / Swashbuckler / Thaumaturge / 80001
Level 8: Hero / Adventurer / Warlock / 150001
Level 9: Blade Master / World Master / Spirit Master / 250001
Level 10:Legend / Myth / Mystic / 350001

NOTES ABOUT THE GUIDE
--------------------------
"TREASURE INFORMATION"
~This section in a chapter lists all treasure data: specific items, random
chests, collectibles, gold and PP, and quest items, as well as where they
all are found. It also includes which treasure sets random chests will have.
While it does not list which set each chest is (assuming there are more than
one), this can be easily determined by opening it (after saving) and seeing
how much gold it gives.
"MONSTER INFORMATION"
~This section lists all monsters found in the area and their approximate
HP. It also contains lists of all known monster groups (as each group is
pre-programmed into the game).
For the specific enemy notation, here is the legend:
[Enemy name] x[Enemy amount] ([Number of groups])
Thus, Skurkling x2 (4) means there are four groups consisting of two
Skurklings in the area it is listed under.
If a group is a boss, it is listed as such, instead of the number present.
Bosses usually consist of a unique enemy, or a type not seen commonly for a
while yet. SunDeep's Eliminate spell usually will not work on bosses, whereas
it has a 100% success rate on any other enemy.
"COLLECTIBLES INFORMATION"
~This section contains a list of all collectible items available in the area,
along with the description of each one's location. These only list the
collectibles available in the area for the first time, thus returns to Orin
will not list all Silver Acorns each time.
"ADDITIONAL NOTES"
~This section is the "walkthrough" segment of the guide. It just lists all
shops in the section of the game, along with anything else of importance,
such as tips for maximizing PP, glitch warnings, difficult to find (or win)
enemy groups, and so forth. As the game is incredibly linear, I felt a full
walkthrough would be unnecessarily bulky and time-consuming, when this, plus
the other sections, would easily suffice.
If there is anything you think should be added to the additional notes
section, feel free to contact me and let me know (check the contact info
section for how to do that).

ADDITIONAL NOTES
--------------------------
AVAILABLE SHOPS:
-Herbalist (Arleen in Hollow Grange)
MAX PP NOTE: If you want maximum PP at the end of the game, don't collect
the 5th Drinking Horn until you have all 4 party members assembled. The 5 PP
from the Small Silver Key lockbox is unavoidable, as you cannot leave Hollow
Grange without a weapon, and thus must claim the lockbox's contents. The 10
PP from pulling the torches in the Keep are also unavoidable, as you need
to enter the treasury to continue.
The PP from the Bucket of water and opening the chest is missable too, as
if you do not do these before entering Lord Kort's lands, you can never
do them.
BREAKING POTIONS: The small lockboxes can be opened with the Lump Hammer as
well, but doing so breaks all Wither Potions inside. As getting the keys is
hardly a big deal, earn a few extra potions doing it the correct way.
TRAINING AREA WALKTHROUGH:
At the beginning, proceed to the fenced area. After learning all you need
to know, tell him you wish to practice. For the first round, you get a
Shamshir, Ornate Axe, Short Sword, and Orin Katar. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE
ENOUGH BELT SPACE! The Short Sword and Orin Katar are much better for
this due to less recovery time (while doing comparable damage, but unless
you have 3 or 4 spare slots, you will be stuck with the much slower
Shamshir or Ornate Axe. Katar does about 10-13 damage, Short Sword hits
for 13-18, Shamshir does 18-29, and Ornate Axe does around 26-33.
Round two is for magic practice. You get a Orb of Sound, Orb of Tears,
Stone Orb, and two Spike Potions. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ALL 4 SLOTS OPEN
(which you should after round 1). Without that Spike Potion, you won't have
enough MEP to kill the Skurkling. Attack away with Sunder (from the Stone
Orb). It does less damage than Sonic Strike, but costs half the MP, AND
stuns the Skurkling temporarily. Sunder causes 8 damage, Sonic Blast does
11, and Ice Shards (not recommended), only hits for a measly 2 damage (he
DID warn you Skurklings resist water magic).
Round 3 is a composite of 1 and 2. You get a Shamshir, Orin Katar, Ornate
Axe, Short Sword, Orb of Sound, Wither Potion, Stone Orb, and Spike Potion.
Unlike the weapons and orbs, you keep any unused potions, so instead of
casting, just hammer away with a melee weapon until you win, like round 1.

AVAILABLE SHOPS:
-Herbalist (Meylia, in Pilgrim's Hatch)
-Basic Weaponsmith~Orin (Deryn, near the bridge, and then near Hermit's Cave)
-Basic Weaponsmith~Orin (Merchant, in Pilgrim's Hatch)
-Advanced Weaponsmith (Weaponsmith, on outskirts of Pilgrim's Hatch)
-Atelier (Jingu, in Pilgrim's Hatch)
-Earth Magic seller (Jingu, in Pilgrim's Hatch)
MAX PP NOTE: To obtain max PP, make sure to collect no more than 9 Silver
Acorns before your party of 4 is assembled, so all benefit from the 1800
bonus PP. This is much more substantial than the pittance of PP in Hollow
Grange, and can equate to an extra skill level or two for the other
characters. Other collectibles usually add up to 2000 total, unlike the
Acorns.
RUSTY SWORD: Zombies with swords can drop a Rusty Sword. This is an inferior
Sword-class weapon that sells for 0 gold, but if you talk to any blacksmith
with it in your inventory, they will repair it (for free) into a Short Sword.
It is a decent weapon at this point in the game, and even if you don't want to
use it, it sells for 150 gold.
SKURKLING MOUND: The mound can generate an infinite number of Skurkling
enemies, but one of them will give any PP, gold, or item drops. Destroy the
mound as fast as possible. It can rarely drop a Steel Breastplate, which is a
fantastic piece of armor this early (and worth 175 gold to sell). It can take
several attempts to win it, however, and constantly reloading and walking back
into town each time can get tedious.
HERB GATHERING: Pick all the Wither Bane you can find before talking to Lord
Kort after destroying the skurking mound. After getting Lord Kort's Token and
meeting SunDeep nearby, all of the wither bane in Kort's lands will have
regenerated, ready to pick again. Even if you have plenty in stock, it can be
worth selling your stock and picking the herbs again, as each Wither Potion is
worth 15 gold. Not a large amount, but selling 10+ will be a nice chunk of
money. Herb pickups regenerate based on story progress, not time spent playing.

MAX PP NOTE!
To obtain max PP, make sure to collect no more than 9 Tree Frogs before
your party of 4 is assembled, so all benefit from the bonus PP.
NOTE: Check the Treasure Chest list for information on the seemingly random
treasures found in the swamp (they aren't random, though).
SWAMP GAS: You need Tahir to pass the green clouds of swamp gas, but only
the cloud between the Portal and Gomira can be traversed. The clouds in the
deep swamp bar you from areas you're not supposed to go yet, and Tahir
refuses to go it alone. This only proves useful to pick up a free Wet Staff
and Barkcleaver in a chest, as well as one of the tree frogs.
FULL HEALING: Examining the Oracle at any time will fully heal you.
MONSTERS: No new monsters spawn anywhere in the swamp after meeting the
Oracle, as one may expect, but meeting the amnesiac Sarojin in the stone ruins
en route to Palash DOES trigger respawns as far back as the raft to Gomira.
Check in the waters around the Oracle and between the raft landing and Palash
for extra gretchlings to fight.

AVAILABLE SHOPS:
-Herbalist (MossDigger, in La'Shon market)
-Basic Weaponsmith~Dagani (JasperScale, in La'Shon market)
-Sarojin Specialist (CopperCrest, in La'Shon market)
-Explosives Specialist (OpalEye, in La'Shon market)
-Atelier (FernDancer, in La'Shon market)
-Fire Magic seller (FernDancer, in La'Shon market)
ODD ROCKS - Many of the rocks you see are actually Lurkers, however most
are inert at the moment and will not attack. Many of these are fought later
in the game.
ARMORED BRACERS - If you haven't already, buy Jarik and Tahir a set of the
Armored Bracers available from the fire magic shop in La'Shon. These provide a
large block boost of 20, which combined with armor will result in blocking
most attacks. Blocking will significantly reduce damage taken from most enemy
attacks.
SPIRE HEALING - At the Spire of Suspicion, there is a cauldron near a Sarojin
guard. This offers a one-time full heal for Jarik and Tahir. Use it wisely!,
but keep in mind that in an emergency, walking back to the Portal in La'Shon
is always an option.
IMPOSSIBLE BATTLE - Near the entrance to the Twisting Deeps (W of WhipTail's
Tomb) is a battle with SIX DarkFell Warrior 1s. This is an incredibly
difficult battle, as six enemies attacking constantly will quickly kill your
party. The only way this battle is remotely winnable is if you use
area-of-effect magic to hit them all at once. A particularly good choice is
Acid Rain for Tahir. Tahir is good with water magic, and even though DarkFell
resist water, Acid Rain will do plenty of damage (averaging 20-30 per hit at
level three, and hitting five times). Equip the Orb of Tears and get Acid Rain
to at least level three (which costs 1100 PP total), or possibly level four,
if you can swing 1800 more PP. It will not only help you actually WIN this
battle, but will be an asset for many hours to come.
JUGGERNAUT - After the scenes at WhipTail's Tomb, Jarik obtains a special
skill - Morph. This lets him transform into the Juggernaut you fight the
Amareths with. This form is free to transform to anytime. It has 1000 HP
and no MEP, and can only do two actions: Punch and Crush (the latter being
stronger, but with more cooldown). The HP you start with is based on what
percent of your HP you had as Jarik, but when he reverts, his HP is restored
to what Jarik had before transforming, ignoring any damage or healing. The
Juggernaut form cannot use any items, but is powerful enough to be useful
for a while to come. Note that you can transform BEFORE triggering a battle,
so as not to waste any time once fighting, and so Jarik's HP is preserved.
DAGAN RESPAWN TAKE TWO: After curing the amnesiac Sarojin, a few new groups
of monsters spawn between you and Palash. These are noted in the monster
group list. Most notably is another Dagani Amareth (the 500 HP version) NW
of that large plateau. This battle can be difficult to trigger; you must walk
in the swamp water NW of the Amareth itself (close to the swamp gas cloud).
Just walking on land, and nearby it, will not trigger the battle.

-White Magic seller (Gymal, on the path to Orin, then in the Marketplace)
DIFFICULT BATTLE - On the path to the Twisting Deeps is a battle against six
Moorlets. This is incredibly difficult, and is not recommended unless Tahir
can use Acid Rain. The spell will slaughter them. Picking them off one by one
will usually result in suffering too much damage in many cases.
CHANGELINGS - You will start encountering Changelings in the guise of one of
the four races from here on out. These come in many varieties, wielding many
different weapons and even spells. Due to the extreme variety these enemies
present, this guide cannot describe each and every group's weapons and magic.
WHITE MAGIC - Soon after leaving the marketplace, you will encounter Gymal,
who sells the Orb of Healing. BUY ONE FOR TAHIR. Spend the money on white
spells from the Portal, and begin training Healing Mist. This is your top
priority! Healing potions are basically obsolete after you gain even one
more level (if they aren't already - 100HP is less than 1/8th of your max HP),
thus Healing Mist will be how you heal for the rest of the game. Heal itself
is alright, but mainly for quick full healing of someone about to die in
battle. MEP healing potions (Spike and Ulappa) still remain useful, since
120 MEP healed is six Healing Mists, and 200 is ten!
PELEWAN GLITCH!!! - En route to Orin, you will meet Pelewan, who pleads for
you to help recover an item for him. DO THIS QUEST IMMEDIATELY. The Amulet of
Silence needed to finish it is found in the canyon ahead. If this quest is
left until too late in the game, Pelewan can vanish without a trace, and with
him goes your hopes to mark this quest completed and get the reward. The
reward is a crappy pendant which has the exact same effect as an easily-bought
accessory, however (stun resistance), so this glitch is hardly game-breaking.
MAX PP PROBLEM - The Amulet of Silence's chest gives 100 PP, which you would
think could be saved, but due to Pelewan possibly vanishing at a random point,
it is best to collect it ASAP, just to ensure it doesn't cost you the quest.
GLITCH!!! - The giant stone door opened by the red key is glitched! Once you
open it the first time and leave, it will never open again. If you do not
collect everything from behind it, they are lost forever. THIS INCLUDES A
MOORLET EGG! Make sure to get everything the first time through.
VERY DIFFICULT BATTLE - Behind the blue door lies a battle with three Moorlets
and FOUR Shadowspawn. Shadowspawn attack by throwing rocks, and with claws at
melee range. This battle is VERY easy to lose. Although rocks are easily
dodged by moving, the battle system isn't conducive to evasive movement.
Gather the Moorlets and cast Acid Rain on them while Jarik pounds at the
Shadowspawn. After Tahir gets a second turn, have him finish off the Moorlets,
then start casting healing spells! Again, this battle is very difficult, so be
extremely careful.
BLINDED KEMARRAN AND THE ANTIVENOM - A short way after the first save point in
the gorge will be a Kemarran warrior fighting some moorlets. After helping her
kill them, she says their poison has blinded her and she needs an antidote.
If you still have the Antivenom item Goltir gave you at the start of the
gorge, it will serve the purpose. Otherwise, you must return to Whitewater
Gorge Marketplace and speak to the herbalist to receive the Nettlefire Weed
quest item, to serve the same purpose.
ICE DAGGER - One of the rewards for defeating the Boggroat is an Ice Dagger.
This is an excellent weapon for Tahir! 20 base damage, 2 recovery time, and
a water focal item even. If Tahir is trained in daggers and water magic (which
are two of the better options for him), this is a must-have! This will be THE
dagger for the rest of the game, no matter who uses it, or if they even use
water magic. There's another one later in the game as well, if you prefer two
dagger users.
GARGOYLE GLITCH!!! - The Gargoyles that guard a page of Chapter 3 of the
Journal on the bridge/ramp may occasionally be glitchy and not provide the
journal page upon defeat. Make sure to save before encountering this group, in
case the glitch occurs. If it does, that page of the journal will be lost
forever!
SUNKEN MARKET AND THE TACHI - The exotic weapons dealer in the Sunken Market
carries a 2H Sword called the Tachi. This is extremely expensive (over 1500
gold), but for a reason: it has 45 base damage, causes Disrupt and Bloc
(easily the most overpowered status - resets cooldown gauge and pauses it for
a few seconds), and is a fire focal item! Ditch Jarik's 2H Axe and go for this
baby, perhaps investing in some fire magic. (especially Inferno!)
LORD KORT'S LANDS - After exiting the Gorge, you will be back in Orin, near
Pilgrim's Hatch. There are not many enemies to be found, however you have
all of the land at your disposal; Pilgrim's Hatch and Hollow Grange, although
there is little reason to bother going all that way.
SPI BOOST DROPS! - The zombies in Lord Kort's lands have a very small chance of
dropping Spi Boost items. Each one permanenly boosts a character's SPI stat by
10. This offers up to 50 extra SPI. These zombies also sometimes drop the staff
Cycgel, which is a sound focal staff.

MISSABLE! ENTIRE KEMARRAN HIGHLANDS - Everything in the Kemarran Highlands
is missable, as once you leave you may never return. The most notable items
include ALL Tattoos (the tattoo parlor is the only one in the game), the Orb
of Winds, and various items in chests. This also includes Vivana's Amulet, the
reward for all 30 crystal shards! Do NOT leave until you are completely sure
you have everything you ever will need! This includes a set of tattoos for
your other two characters (taking up a massive 10 inventory slots, bummer).
Fortunately, after the scenes at the Dragon's Maw, you have the run of the
Highlands, so everything (shopping, chests, crystal shards, etc) can be done
then.
SET 4 RANDOM CHESTS - Several of the random chests in the Highlands are set 4,
which has 150 gold, very often a Ulappa Potion, and most importantly, a Spi
Boost! This elixir boosts a character's Spi by 10 points permanently. Save
before opening each chest to maximize the number of Spi Boosts and your stats!
TATTOOS - Mentioned briefly earlier, tattoos give bonuses and use up five
unique skill slots (cannot be used for anything else). They are permanent. As
far as I've been able to test, multiple tattoos of the same kind do not stack.
I would wager the status resist tattoos are better than the voodoo/black arts
resists, due to the latter two being much more uncommon (but increasingly
common as the game goes on). Make sure to load everyone up on tattoos (as well
as bring 10 extras, five for each of the future two party members).
ULAPPA LEAVES - The plant in the shrine near crystal marker #42 is the Ulappa
plant, where the potion of the same name comes from. This is the ONLY Ulappa
plant in the game! In total, you can harvest leaves from it three times: when
the herbalist first sends you on, after clearing the Hakar Cave, and after the
scenes at the Dragon's Maw. These are the only three leaves available in the
entire game, however talking to any herbalist will end up consuming them if
you turn herbs in for potions.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
--------------------------
AVAILABLE SHOPS:
-Herbalist (Arleen, in Hollow Grange)
-Herbalist (Melzia, in Pilgrim's Hatch)
-Basic Weaponsmith~Orin (Devyn, inside Hermit's Cave)
-Basic Weaponsmith~Orin (Merchant, in Pilgrim's Hatch)
-Advanced Weaponsmith (Weaponsmith, in Pilgrim's Hatch)
-Atelier (Jingu, in Pilgrim's Hatch)
-Stone Magic seller (Jingu, in Pilgrim's Hatch)
NO REST FOR THE WEARY - You are herded towards Hollow Grange straight from
exiting Kemarr. Pilgrim's Hatch will be unavailable for a while, so the only
shops you'll have access to are an herbalist in Hollow Grange and Devyn, the
basic weaponsmith.
MORE STAT BOOSTERS - Two chests in the Twisting Deeps are sets 4 and 5. 4
gives Spi Boost (SPI+10), and set 5 (very rarely) gives Spi Enhancer (SPI+5).
Save at the nearby save point and open them repeatedly until they give up
these rare elixirs!
ETHEREAL BATTLE - The Ethereal is a difficult foe. Use magic, as weapons have
very little effect on it. This is yet another battle where a high-level Acid
Rsin from Tahir can prove effective.
DROMMAR'S SWORD AND REVEAL - The Reveal attack of Drommar's Sword dispels the
Changeling's magic, reverting them to their original form. This prevents them
using magic and weapons, which prevents many status effects and ranged damage,
but their normal form has strong melee attacks and a rock throw (like
Shadowspawn). Be sure you wish to fight the original form when you use this!
MISSABLE! JOURNAL CHAPTER 4 PAGES - When inside Drommar's Tomb, be sure to
get both of these pages! If you don't collect them now, they are missed
forever, locking you out of a nice accessory and the best armor in the game
(for everyone).
ZOMBIE LORD'S VOODOO - The Zombie Lord casts a voodoo spell at you constantly.
This spell's damage can be reduced with Evil Bracers, or if you bought some,
the Dark Defender tattoo. It can hit pretty hard and consistently from a
range, so be careful.
ZOMBIE LORD GLITCH!!! - I have heard a report that once, the Zombie Lord did
not trigger the after-battle event of obtaining the Bone Hammer. Make sure to
save beforehand, to ensure the hammer is dropped. If it does not, the game
cannot be continued.

--------------------------
ADDITIONAL NOTES
--------------------------
AVAILABLE SHOPS: NONE!
SCARABS - Keep in mind that halfway through this section of the Deeps, the
scarab path changes from lapis to white!
MISSABLE! DUNGEON AREA - The dungeon area where SunDeep is found can never
be returned to after warping out! Be sure to collect everything in there
before leaving, especially the collectibles! Check for entries that mention
the dungeon area, or the sun bed. This goes triple for the Ancient Artifacts
and Koldor's Items, as these are needed for two of the four ultimate weapons!
CELL DOOR KEY - Use the first key you get to unlock the S cell door, NOT the N
one! There is a chest in the S cell containing some potions, an orb of sound,
and another key. Opening the N cell first denies you these items.
SUNDEEP - SunDeep starts out extremely weak - only 100HP and 30MEP at level 7!
Once he is taken to the bed of sunlight, he will regain some of his stats,
but he will always be your weakest character, making him a good candidate for
being a mage. Equipping him with the Roshogon (when you get it, if you don't
already have it) will compensate for his MEP use and lower MP in general.
DEMON PLANTS - These are first encountered after recruiting SunDeep. They are
resilient enemies that take much damage to kill, but are slow to attack and
cannot move. These are more of an annoyance than anything.
ABSORPTION ARTS - In SilverScale's lair, you'll find an Absorption Orb. The
first (and one of only two total) absorption arts focal items, this is
valuable, but unfortunately comes a bit late to get full use from. Still, the
spells it allows can be extremely useful.
MISSABLE! SWITCH PUZZLE - The Ancient Artifact on the platform in the switch
puzzle (in the green scarab section) is missable! Pick it up while there, or
you'll never get another chance. The puzzle itself is not terribly difficult
to solve, so for now I will not give a walkthrough for it, however if
requested, I will add a solution for it.
MISSABLE! FROST PEAKS - This is the only chance in the game to explore the
Frost Peaks. Get everything now, because once left, this area is sealed off
for the rest of the game.
ELEMENTALS AND HEALING - The ice elementals (K'Tik) drop Ancient Heals and
Magic Potions, the best healing items in the game, and only worthwhile ones
in the endgame. You likely already were given a few magic potions, but try
to win some of each to bolster your party's supplies. The K'Tik themselves
have thousands of HP (2500, to be precise), and can be difficult, but are
surprisingly easy to defeat, given how fearful people usually are of them.
Be prepared with healing mid-battle and they should fall easily.
MORE SPI BOOSTS - The Frost Peaks chests are all from set 4, which includes
that elusive Spi Boost! SunDeep could use the extra SPI badly, and each chest
may yield a meaty +10.
CHEST GLITCH!!! - There is a chest near the final path to the temple which is
visibly snowed in. The problem here is that approaching the chest from the
left side will result in your character being trapped in place and unable to
move. The only fix is to load an earlier save, so be careful around it!
RETURNING FROM THE TEMPLE: DIFFICULT! - After the scenes at the Temple of the
Ice Hakar, new enemies appear in Frost Peaks. This includes large groups! Five
K'Tik at once can cause some damage, and five Ice Hakars attacking the same
person can chew through even 2500HP in an instant! Be very ready with both
Healing Mist and Heal spells, or face losing characters to the onslaught. Few
of the battles (if any) are unavoidable, and you're still a long way from home,
so keep an eye on HP and MEP, and put those Ulappa Potions you found in chests
to good use.
SHADOWFIRE'S SPIRES - In the SW of the Garden area are four Sarojin spires.
Each of these corresponds to a journal chapter. Collect all 25 pages and an
item is unlocked! The first three boost one of the stats (STR, DEX, or SPI) by
20%, while chapter four's item boosts all three by 10%. Completing all four
chapters unlocks the area beyond, which contains the best armor in the game.
Unfortunately, chapter four cannot be completed without passing the point of
no return. More information is available in the later chapters.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
--------------------------
AVAILABLE SHOPS:
-All shops in Orin, Dagan, Palash, and Whitewater Gorge
FREE EXPLORATION!!! - This part of the game is free exploration. Even doing
story segments will not take away free exploration until you see the scenes
at the center of Zonra's Tomb (the point of no return). Re-explore all areas,
finish collecting collectibles, get items, and fight monsters. The monster
section of this chapter is more free-form, based on sections of the world AND
the story location.
TWISTING DEEPS, OPAL AND WHITE - While the "opal" and "white" scarab paths
are actually the same color, opal is used to denote the "Orin" path through
the Deeps (ShadowFire's cave to the red/agate/opal intersection region),
while white is for the interior Deeps path, beyond the long spiral path. It
is the path used in pursuit of Grandar and SilverScale during the lead-up
to meeting SunDeep. White scarabs start count at the Twisting Deeps portal,
and lead up to the door to the large spiral pathway that leads to the red/
agate/opal intersection room.
TWISTING DEEPS MONSTER SPAWNS - Many monster groups in the Twisting Deeps
don't appear at first, but require you to backtrack along a path after
passing some manner of checkpoint, such as a doorway. Two or three trips may
be required to engage all the enemies the Deeps has to offer.
SPI BOOSTS IN THE DEEPS - Many chests are within the Twisting Deeps, and all
possibly hold a Spi Boost. It is a tall order to get one from every single
chest, however.
DRAGONS FALL ON THE AGATE PATH - On the agate scarab path (Whitewater Gorge
entrance) in the Twisting Deeps, there is a chest surrounded with some dragon
head statues. This houses one of the dragon weapons: The Dragon's Fall, a
chakram (the crappiest dragon weapon of all). Opening the chest triggers a
trap. The solution is simple: send Jarik to the W head, Tylonee to the N head,
Tahir to the E head, and then SunDeep to the S head. This causes a
translocation node to appear, allowing you escape.
DRAGON ORDEALS - At this point, three of the dragon ordeals may be obtained;
the aforementioned (and useless) Dragon's Fall, as well as the Dragon's Dawn
from Koldor (collect all 12 of his weapons), and Dragonwhip from the DarkFell
(requires all 30 Ancient Artifacts). These weapons are incredibly powerful!
Make it your top priority to get these weapons ASAP, and whoever wields them
(with a mastered Halberd and Staff skillset) will destroy anything they touch.
GOLTIR GLITCH!!! - After turning in the 30 Moorlet Eggs to Goltir, he will
ask you if you require his usual services (herbalist). This is the last time
he will ask! After the eggs are traded, he will stop talking altogether,
resulting in the loss of the only herbalist in Dagan. Not an insurmountable
glitch, but annoying nonetheless.
WHITEWATER GORGE GLITCH!!! - When entering the Marketplace via the library's
back door, many people will be missing from the area. This is because the game
does not properly load the area when entering from the library. The fix is
simple: just leave and return (going out to the Portal is sufficient).

--------------------------
ADDITIONAL NOTES
--------------------------
AVAILABLE SHOPS:
-All shops in Orin, Dagan, Palash, and Whitewater Gorge (until Oo Pang Tulmus)
SORT OF FREE-ROAM: After Zonra's Tomb, you're theoretically not supposed to
have free-roam anymore (Portal translocation is disabled), but you still can.
You'll be turned back from the lapis path in the Deeps, but the white one
still works, and will let you leave the Deeps and head to Whitewater Gorge,
Orin, Dagan, and Palash. All herbs can be collected once again, but there
are no new enemies to be found, aside from the ones listed in the Deeps
(mainly agate, opal, and red paths). The only real use of this accidental
freedom is to finish collecting the collectibles, if that wasn't finished
before Zonra's Tomb.
INVISIBLE CHANGELINGS GLITCH!!! - New encounters abound in the intersection
room of the agate, red, and opal paths, but one set of Green Changelings is
invisible! They seem to appear after fighting one of the solitary Green
Boraros, and they cannot be seen. They are still open to attack, though. There
are three of them, so kill them and things should be fine afterwards. Another
group then appears, but is the same as the first group (only three), and that
seems to be the end of the invisible Changelings.
SHADOWFIRE'S SANCTUM - By now, you should've collected all of the journal
pages throughout the game. This will allow you to collect all four rewards
(Ring of Might, Nimble Cloak, Magical Crown, and Torc of Power), and, with
all four collected, access to the area beyond, ShadowFire's Sanctum.
ZOMBIES AND STAT BOOSTS - Upon entering ShadowFire's Sanctum, you are made to
face some battles with Shadow Zombies - nothing special, zombie-wise, but
notable in that each group can drop a Dex and/or Str Enhancer! Dex boosts are
the rarest in the game, so it may be worthwhile to save at the nearby save
point and retry to win all possible Dex Enhancers in here, especially for
whoever will get the Nimble Cloak! Str Enhancers are good too, of course, so
it's up to the player. The game is near the end, so what objective value any
stat boosts at this point are worth is questionable.
ULTIMATE ARMOR - After defeating ShadowFire, four chests await you at the end
of his Sanctum. These contain four suits of armor that are indisputably the
ultimate armors of the game, with what is by far the best block boost, as well
as an abundance of valuable and high-level resistances. Distribute them as you
see fit, and prepare to never worry about armor again (unless you've been
using Plate Armor, in which case it's been a long, long time since armor was a
concern anyways).

ALON D'AR - At Charak's Tomb, Jarik gains a new transformation - into Alon
D'ar's old form. This gives him access to some unique Chandarath-only spells.
Restore is probably the most useful, costing 50 MEP and restoring 1000 HP for
the target (200 HP more potent than Heal). Alon D'ar's MEP works like the
Juggernaut's HP; a certain percent of Jarik's current MEP is converted into
Alon D'ar's MEP. Any MEP spent as Alon D'ar though is not counted, as when it
reverts to Jarik, his MEP reverts to what Jarik originally had, ignoring any
spent or healed as Alon D'ar.
NEXT DESTINATION - After Charak's Tomb, you may proceed to either the Dagan or
Palash Portal, and from there to the Portal in the Twisting Deeps. There
are new enemies on both routes Dagan to La'Shon, so to maximize PP, clear out
both, then use the Portal at whichever was your second destination.
THREE DARK BOGGROATS - Be especially careful of this battle! The Dark
Boggroats resist most elements and block a lot! If they gang up on one
character, they can kill even a Lv10 in short order. This is far from an
impossible battle, but it's easily the most dangerous since the five Ice
Hakars in Frost Peaks.
MORE STAT BOOSTS - Several enemies from here on out drop stat boosters, such
as the Sarojin changelings guarding the elevator to Glethdarang!
LAST CHANCE FOR SHADOWFIRE - This is the last chance to redeem ShadowFire's
journal's pages for the spire treasures (Ring of Might, Nimble Cloak, Magical
Crown, and Torc of Power), as well as your last chance to venture into his
Sanctuary and claim the four ultimate armor sets of the game.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
--------------------------
AVAILABLE SHOPS: None for the rest of the game.
BORARO CHANGELINGS - Glethdarang introduces Boraro changelings. These are
changelings made from Boraro instead of the usual creatures. Not only do they
have much more HP, they are MUCH stronger. The first group of four Orin and a
Sarojin can kill even a max level party without diligent healing! Be very
cautious. Although rarely needed before this, seriously consider casting
Reveal on the group, as five Boraro are much more easily dealt with than their
false forms. They'll even lose most of their HP, as Boraros have around 1400
HP, compared to the changelings' 2200-2500 HP, and be much weaker to blunt
weapons (like the Dragonwhip). It's your choice.
BARRIER MAGIC - Harder-hitting enemies that can whittle down your HP even at
max level with mastered weapons and magic classes require better tactics.
Consider barrier magic. Throwing up an Elemental Barrier, Multi-Barrier, or
if nothing else, just a weapon barrier before a battle can mean the difference
between victory and defeat. Barriers last until they are either destroyed, or
you save and reload the game, so even a low level barrier can be cast on
everyone before a battle is triggered. Use them!
P'GOK...ER? - There seem to be two different P'Gok enemy types. The normal
ones (which you fought earlier near the Glethdarang elevator) are normal
P'Goks. They give 500 PP apiece and the normal drops (including Str and Dex
Enhancers!) P'Gokers, however, tend to sit back and chuck rocks that cause
Fire and Disrupt and Block, and have no drops. They give 550 PP. Besides
these minute differences, they seem identical.
MORE STAT BOOSTS - Once again, this place has several chests with the
potential for a Spi Boost. This is compounded by the fact that many enemy
groups, specifically those with P'Goks (not to be confused with P'Goker, as
they are identical, although there are no P'Goker-only groups), carry both
Str and Dex Enhancers. You can boost your stats a lot in this area, but the
price is reloading many, many times from an increasingly distant save point.
Enemies also tend to come in consecutive groups, preventing you from reliably
claiming more than one stat boost per two or more battles.
DARKSTAFF - SilverScale's Darkstaff claims to be a Black Arts focal item.
This would normally be exciting, except there's no way to level up the Black
Arts, so you're stuck only casting the first spell of that magic class at Lv0,
just like any other class without any levels in it. Although the game
prohibits you from learning or leveling any Black Arts spells normally (as it
is considered unnatural and evil), there is no penalty for casting this Black
spell, so if you're curious about it, go ahead and try it out.

ADDITIONAL NOTES
--------------------------
ALON D'AR BLOCKED - Once your party enters Karunesh, Jarik's morph abilities,
both Juggernaut and Alon D'ar, and blocked and unavailable. This should pose
little problem, as there is not much need of such forms anymore, but it is
still something to keep in mind.
ANCIENT HEAL X2, MAGIC POTION X2 - Various battles in this place will yield
a prize of two Ancient Heals and two Magic Potions. This seems to override
any other item drops, and is guaranteed, no matter the quantity or variety
of enemies present. The following groups yield this drop (in order of
appearance):
-Drindithar x1, Chandarath R x1, Chandarath Y x1
-Dark Boggroat x3
-Mystery Girl x1, K-Boraro x3
-Stone Hakar x3
-Stone Hakar x3
-Stone Hakar x2
-Stone Hakar x3
All arena battles also have this as a drop.
MYSTERY GIRL - Jarik faces a solo battle about halfway into Karunesh. He must
face a girl and three green Boraros. This battle may seem hard, as Jarik
fights alone, however it is not. The more party members are present, the
higher the cooldown for any action is. With Jarik fighting alone, the cooldown
is reduced to what it used to be in the beginning. Using any mastered weapon
will usually result in Jarik attacking faster than his animations can resolve
themselves. If he wields Dragonstorm and uses Zoe's Shield, he will be all
but invincible in this joke of a battle. Use Dragon Light to dispatch the
Boraro, and anything on the girl. If these items are unavailable, use blunt
weapons or attack magic on the Boraro, and cutting/piercing weapons on the
girl.
ARENA COMBAT - Once in the Arena, you're made to face many consecutive foes,
culminating in the final showdown with Zarahanar. A list of the foes faced,
in the order faced are listed above. Equip all healing items you have, as
there is little required beyond this point except a weapon and a focal item
or two. Jarik will be locked in his Alon D'ar form the entire battle, too,
meaning he loses access to all of his equipment. Zaharanar himself fights
alone, but casts a spell which hits your entire party for 500-600 damage
apiece. This will require two people casting a Lv6 Healing Mist to counter!
Alon D'ar should cast Decimate, while the free person attacks physically.
Good luck, and godspeed.
=======================================================================
==========================================================================
15: SKILL LISTS (SKI15)
==========================================================================
=======================================================================
This provides a list of all notable skills in the game, any costs associated,
and other relevant information.
Each skill is marked with a number 1 through 8, called Rank (R). These
indicate how fast this skill advances, according to the following table. The
measurements are in PP. Note that the Lv1 requirement only applies to the
default skill of each type (the first one listed), which starts at Lv0. The
rest are bought with gold and start at Lv1 (these have no Lv0 stats; Shields
are the exception).
Lv1 Lv2 Lv3 Lv4 Lv5 Lv6
Rank 1: 100 300 800 1500 3000 6500
Rank 2: 100 300 800 1500 3500 7500
Rank 3: 100 300 800 1800 4000 8000
Rank 4: 100 300 800 1500 3500 8500
Rank 5: 100 300 800 1800 4000 9000
Rank 6: 150 350 800 1800 4000 9000
Rank 7: 300 500 1000 2000 5000 10000
Rank 8: 300 800 1200 2500 6000 10000
The ONLY thing the learning rate affects is the PP required per level. The
actual bonuses for each skill level are entirely dependent on the weapon.
Lighter weapon tend to give bigger Speed and Accuracy boosts, while heavier
weapons give more Damage and Critical. Ranged weapons give a Range boost
instead of Block. However, the Grandmaster skill for ranged weapon still
boosts Block instead of Range (and that is noted in the tables where it
occurs).
When all five skills of a weapon type are at Lv6 (the max level), you will
earn a Grandmaster skill in that type, which occupies the bottom slot in the
skill menu. This grants another set of boosts, one in each category of the
weapon (so, a dagger's grandmaster skill gives an additional boost to speed,
accuracy, damage, critical hit rate, and block rate). These bonuses are listed
in the "Master" column, next to each of the skills, and provided when the
Grandmaster skill (listed at the bottom of the skill column) is acquired.
Magic works a bit differently. Each spell has different effects which change
every level. This makes each spell much more complex than a single weapon
skill, and thus each magic class is listed as a section. The various stats
each spell may have are listed below, as a reference to help with the
understanding of magic:
-MEP Cost: The cost of the spell, in MEP. Straightforward.
-Casting Range: The distance from the target the caster may be. Units are
unknown.
-Max Targets: This is the number of targets the spell hits. If they are
chained (denoted with a C after the number), the spell hits each enemy one
after another, in a chain.
-HP Damage: This is how much damage the spell inflicts (single-hit only).
-HP Damage/ Time: This is how much damage a multi-hit spell inflicts per
period of time (detailed by later stats).
-Duration: The duration of the spell's effects (probably in seconds). What
this is the duration of is listed before the word.
-Reapply Time: How often during the spell the effects (damage and status)
are reapplied (again, in seconds). A spell with 10 duration and 5 reapply
means it hits twice. 9 duration and 5 reapply hits only once (with the extra
four seconds essentially wasted).
-Total Damage: This is the total amount of damage the spell inflicts to HP.
-Radius: This is the area around the target the spell also affects, causing
the effects to any other viable targets nearby.
When all five spells of a spell class are at Lv6 (max level), you earn a
Grandmaster spell of that element. This is a powerful and expensive spell
which is essentially the best of that element, bar none. All magic, however,
is rank 5 at the lowest, making these Grandmaster spells extremely expensive,
especially considering each spell is its own command, unlike weapon skills,
which are collective and all work together towards the weapon.

16: CHARACTER SKILL PROFILES (CHA16)
==========================================================================
=======================================================================
Thi section details each character's special skills and talents, along with a
list of the character's default skills. As new characters start with zero
available PP, to compensate they also come with some weapon skills and spells
already learned and leveled. This list (a new addition to the guide) should
help with planning who will use which weapons, as it is less costly to have a
chracter use a weapon they already have some PP devoted towards.
--------------------------
DEFAULT AND SPECIAL SKILLS - JARIK
--------------------------
DEFAULT SKILLS:
None!
Initial PP: 0
Initial level: 0
JUGGERNAUT
"A powerful form from the Diadem of the Dreaming Beast."
-This ability is free to use.
-This is one of Jarik's transformations, acquired at WhipTail's tomb in
Palash. It has a lot of HP, and is physically powerful, but only capable of
using Punch (as powerful as it is when used by it). This form's HP depends on
Jarik's current HP; more current HP means more when transformed, however any
change to HP while transformed is ignored when he reverts. HP after reverting
will be the same as before.
ALON D'AR
"An old shape used by Alon D'ar in combat."
-This ability is free to use.
-This form is gained at Charak's Tomb, very late in the game. It possesses
four spells unique to it, and once again uses Jarik's current HP and MEP to
determine the form's own stats. It also possesses a Punch attack, for melee
combat that doesn't expend MEP.
DECIMATE
-Costs 25 MEP.
-The Alon D'ar morph has this spell. It launches a single ball of energy at
the target, resulting in one hit of damage. Seems to do 120-300 damage, based
on the target's resistance to whatever element this spell is.
RESTORE
-Costs 50 MEP.
-This is a simple recovery spell possessed by the Alon D'ar morph. It restores
1000 HP to a single person, making it superior to the Heal spell.
VANQUISH
-Costs 50 MEP.
-An area-of-effect spell used by the Alon D'ar morph. It deals damage to an
area according to the usual formula (farther away from the target means less
damage). Seems to do 200-300 damage to the target, and less to others.
CONJUNCTION
-Costs 50 MEP.
-Another area-of-effect spell the Alon D'ar morph can use. Appears to be very
similar to Vanquish, including damage, but possibly a different element? In
any case, none of these spells are of any real use except possibly Restore.
--------------------------
SPECIAL SKILLS - TAHIR
--------------------------
DEFAULT SKILLS:
Dagger: Speed/3, Accuracy/2, Damage/3, Critical Hit/2, Block/1
Sword: Speed/2, Accuracy/2, Damage/1, Block/1, Critical Hit/1
Axe: Damage/2, Block/2, Accuracy/2, Critical Hit/2, Speed/2
Two Hnd Axe: Damage/2, Critical Hit/2, Speed/2
Spear: Accuracy/2, Block/1, Speed/1, Critical Hit/2, Damage/1
Bow: Accuracy/2, Speed/2, Damage/2
Cho Pin Tou: Damage/2, Accuracy/2, Block/2, Speed/2, Critical Hit/2
Water Fates: Ice Shards/2, Water Sprites/1
Earth Fates: Sunder/2, Sandstorm/1
White Magic: Heal/1, Healing Mist/1
Initial PP: 7501
Initial level: 3
GILL BREATHING
"Allows Tahir to pass through poisonous swamp gas."
-This ability is free to use.
-This ability is what allows Tahir to pass through the poison gas clouds in
the swamps. Only two clouds are ever passable though, one guarding a chest
with a Barkcleaver and Wet Staff, another guarding a switch that must be
pressed.
FINAL DEFIANCE
"A transfer of magical energies into health."
-This ability is free to use.
-In battle, this ability is named "Desperate Defiance" for some reason.
-This command apparently boosts Tahir's maximum HP for a short period in
battle. Although it says it converts MEP into HP, this does not seem to be
the case. This cannot be active at the same time as Aura of Calm. The only
apparently benefit of using this is that his HP is healed according to the
boost when used, although it decreases back to a normal amount when it times
out.
AURA OF CALM
"An increase in magical energy at the cost of health."
-This ability is free to use.
-This command apparently boosts Tahir's maximum MEP for a short period in
battle. Although it says it converts HP into MEP, this does not seem to be
the case. This cannot be active at the same time as Final Defiance. The only
apparently benefit of using this is that his MEP is healed according to the
boost when used, although it decreases back to a normal amount when it times
out.

YIL ATTACK
"Tylonee's dragonet attacks those who threaten her."
-This ability is free to use.
-This summons Yil to body slam a single enemy. This is a weak attack of an
unknown property, but it rarely does enough damage to make it even worth
remembering it exists. It seems to do a flat 70-100 damage to the target.
YIL HEAL
"The dragonet uses magic to heal other party members."
-This ability is free to use.
-Yil is summoned, and restores 100 HP to a single target. This one is
definitely NOT worth using, ever. 100 HP is nothing in battle, even for free,
and it cannot be used outside of battle.
--------------------------
SPECIAL SKILLS - SUNDEEP
--------------------------
DEFAULT SKILLS:
(under construction)
Initial PP: ???
FAST LINKS
"Allows the use of Sarojin portals to travel large distances."
-This ability is free to use.
-This allows the party use of the Portals' "Map/Links" function at any time.
However, after a certain point (visiting Zonra's Tomb) it becomes unavailable
except for story-specific translocations. The Kemarran Highlands are never
an available location.
TRANSLOCATION
"Grants the ability to traverse short distances."
-This ability is free to use.
-This allows use of the Sarojin translocation nodes throughout the world.
Blue ones can only be used by SunDeep alone, Purple transport objects to you,
and Green allow the party to translocate.
ELIMINATE
"Removes one enemy from combat."
-Costs 300 MEP.
-This removes one enemy from a battle entirely, with what seems to be a 100%
probability against non-boss enemies. PP, gold, and items are still obtained
from any enemies killed via this spell. It is incredibly expensive, with a
Lv10 SunDeep only able to cast it five times before running low on MEP. The
Roshogon helps his MEP, but overuse of this will keep his MEP constantly
depleted.
--------------------------
SKILL SUGGESTIONS
--------------------------
This section just contains some skill suggestions for characters.
When it comes to magic, there isn't as much reason to master a skillset.
A good idea is to just max whatever spells you'd like to use (especially
for white magic), and ignore the rest, unless the grandmaster spell is that
tempting. Weapons pretty much require their grandmaster buff to work well in
the endgame, though.
SunDeep is rather weak all-around. Making him a mage is okay (give him the
Roshogon!), but he doesn't really excel in many things, and has below-average
HP AND MEP. There are a lot of magic staves (one focal staff for each magic
school), so you could make him an old-school staff-wielding mage. Staves are
rather powerful as it is, so he can do well physically too. Regardless, he is
the weakest character of all.
Also, there are four Dragon weapons (not counting the Chakram) that are the
game's "ultimate" weapons:
Dragonstorm (Sword)
Dragon's Teeth (ChoPinTou)
Dragon's Dawn (Halberd)
Dragonwhip (Staff)
These are the game's ultimate weapons, and one sort of fits each member.
Sword to Jarik, ChoPinTou is obviously Tahir, Staff fits SunDeep, and while
Halberd may not seem to fit Tylonee best, she starts with some Halberd
levels, so it actually does. SunDeep starts with some Sword proficiency
though, so perhaps consider giving the staff to Jarik to maximize PP
efficiency.
JARIK
-Two hnd Axe (Large Ornate Axe in Gomira is crazy powerful for that point)
-Two hnd Sword (Tachi, Drommar's Sword, and Sword of Tieg are all strong)
-Staff (if giving Dragonstorm to SunDeep)
-Sword (for those who want Dragonstorm on the main character)
-Barrier Arts (Jarik is best as a melee fighter, so support magic suits him)
-Fire Fates (to go with the Tachi - Inferno is the best)
TAHIR
-Dagger (Ice Dagger is incredibly powerful, and extremely fast)
-Water Fates (max Acid Rain and Tahir is incredibly useful)
-Cho Pin Tou (Dagani trademark weapon, and one of the dragon weapons too)
-White Magic (essential! Max Heal and Healing Mist, MAYBE Revive)
-Bow (a decent ranged weapon, more useful earlier than later though)
-Spear (he starts with some spear levels, and Javelins can be potent)
-Barrier Arts (only three Barrier focals in the main game, so may as well)
TYLONEE
-Halberd (good weapon and one of the dragon weapons)
-Air Fates (sort of fits Tylonee's race, and ok spells)
-Sound Fates (complements Air, I suppose)
-Thrown Weapons (buy some Target Knives and this will be very powerful)
-White Magic (essential!!! Max Heal and Healing Mist, MAYBE Revive)
-Absorption Arts (only two Absorb focals, seems like her kind of magic)
-Fire Fates (for use w/ La'Shon Halberd, an okay choice)
SUNDEEP
-Staff (many magic staves and also a dragon weapon)
-Sword (dragon weapon; SunDeep starts with all sword skills at level 4!)
-Whatever skills/spells your other members don't use enough

17: SHOP GUIDE (SHO17)
==========================================================================
=======================================================================
This is a list of all of the shop's inventories in the game, and at what
level each item is stocked at. The higher your level, the greater the
inventories are, although at around level 5 of 6 they've reached their
maximum stock level. Check the "People" listing in each area for a list of
what shops are available, and where they are located.
This is only a rough list, however. Some additions to shops seem based on
story progression or possibly Jarik's level only, whereas others may be based
on the highest leveled person's level (such as Tahir's Lv3 when he joins), or
again, story progression.
Example: Dagani Specialist Weapon Shop didn't stock new items until Jarik
was Lv3 (after meeting Oracle), whereas the potion shop stocked the items
marked level 3 as soon as Tahir joined.

18: TREASURE CHEST INFORMATION (TRE18)
==========================================================================
=======================================================================
Each chest has its own treasure pool: some amount of gold, usually 100-300,
which is always awarded. A second item (almost always a common potion,
between Wither and Ulappa), not always awarded but usually (~50% chance),
and a low chance of a rare item (this varies a lot - sometimes another
potion, or a stat boost, etc). The last item is almost never awarded. When
opening each chest, you're given the money and one or both (or neither) of
the other items.
You can tell which treasure set a random chest has by how much gold it gives.
Each treasure chest always have the same treasure set - the ONLY random
element is which items are given.
Set 1:
-100 gold
-Spike Potion
-Palm Nut Potion
Set 2:
-200 gold
-Spike Potion
-Wither Potion
Set 3:
-300 gold
-Spike Potion
-Cactus Potion
Set 4:
-150 gold
-Ulappa Potion
-Spi Boost
Set 5:
-250 gold
-Ulappa Potion
-Spi Enhancer
--------------------------
DAGAN SWAMP TREASURE:
--------------------------
This is a special section. Swamp treasure are places in the swamp where you
gain a little money (5 gold) and maybe an item or two if you touch it. These
work just like normal treasure chests and are in set places, but invisible
otherwise. Unlike other chests as well, this set has gold and FOUR items.
However, they seem even rarer than other chests' items, and you're lucky if
you find one, much less two. It IS possible to find three or even all four
at a time, but exceedingly rare. I've found all four only once.
-5 gold
-Spike Potion
-Palm Nut Potion
-Studded Coat
-Hakar Hide
This will attempt to explain to the best of my ability each known location.
If one is willing to reload a lot, getting Studded Coats and Hakar Hides
is a great way to earn early game gold, as each sells for around 75 gold.
Multiply that by over 15 and that's a nice little cache!
PORTAL to GOMIRA LOCATIONS
#1: Directly east of the totem near the dock at the start of the swamp (it
points in the right direction). There is a group of three large trees. One
has a light green fern-like plant at its base. The fern is the treasure
location
#2: Near a treasure chest, there is a totem right next to a large tree. This
treasure spot is the fern at the bottom of the tree (again).
#3: W of the Dagani refugee rest stop (with the Wither Potion cauldron),
there are again three large trees. The treasure spot is in the middle of
them, in the swamp water.
#4: A bit SW of the rest station is some open swamp water. You'll notice a
nearby totem points away from this patch. Follow opposite the direction this
totem is pointing and you'll find it quickly.
#5: There is a large rock behind the rest station. Go behind it and head E.
You'll see a tree with a plant at the base as you head directly E. The
actual treasure spot is on the edge of some land before reaching that tree.
#6: Directly south of #5 is a large rock with a palm tree right next to it.
This spot is located just a bit W of the rock, in the swamp water.
#7: After the first bridge, head W and you'll see a fallen tree trunk in the
water, leaning on the jungle ledge. This spot is at the end of the trunk, in
the swamp water.
#8: After the first bridge, head E and you'll see a palm tree. Near this is a
large boulder and two trees, each with a fern at the base. Head S from these
trees towards a fallen tree (in front of some green swamp gas) and you should
find this
#9: S of the second bridge (after the hill with the cauldron), there is a palm
tree near two large trees with some ferns and plants at their base. This spot
is the edge of the land near those plants (a tiny bit E of them).
#10: About halfway between the second and third bridge is a totem (with a
journal page near it). N of this are two fallen tree trunks leaning into
the water. This spot is between them, in the swamp water.
#11: Right before the third bridge. NE of the bridge is another fallen tree
trunk leaning, and a large tree with two ferns at the base. The spot is a
bit E of the tree, in the middle of the swamp water.
#12: S of the fourth bridge is a large open section of swamp water,
surrounded by trees and rocks. The first time through, some small animals
will be grazing here (somehow). In the center of this circular area of water
is the spot.
#13: Two large rocks are S of the end of the fourth bridge. Head into the
swamp directly S from the larger rock (the smaller one has a tree frog on
it) and this one is about halfway into the swamp in that direction.
#14: Near the ramp into Gomira, on the left side is a large rock. As you
head E from this rock, the edge of the land curves SE towards Gomira's wall.
Search in the swamp water halfway between this rock and the first large tree
you encounter in the water beyond it. This is pretty vague, but I don't know
how better to explain it.
INSIDE GOMIRA LOCATIONS
#15: A short ways E of the entrance ramp to Gomira are two barrels in the
swamp water. They mark this treasure spot.
#16: Near the NW corner of Gomira, in the swamp water at the corner.
#17: A ways E of #16, there is a group of three barrels in the swamp water.
The spot is right next to them.
#18: A short ways SE of the save point, next to a ruined hut with a treasure
chest inside. It is right at the border between the swamp and land.
#19: In the NE of the main part of Gomira, there is a rather large collection
of barrels and furniture in a pile in the water. This spot is on the E side of
the pile.
#20: Following the path leading NW from #19, run along the middle of the
narrow path. You'll hit it in the last pool of water before a stretch of dry
land.
#21: In the second section of Gomira (N of the rest, via the path), you can
see a small spike of land jutting out into the water from the entrance. Go to
the tip, and walk E along the middle of the water. You will hit the spot very
quickly.
#22: To the right of Mahir's grave marker are two palm trees. Go between them,
hugging the left wall. This spot is in the swamp water where the land meets
the water while hugging that wall.
GOMIRA to RAFT/RIVER LOCATIONS
#23: NW of the exit ramp from Gomira, there is an oddly-shaped chunk of
land in the water. This spot is near the end of it closest to the ramp
(the other end has two tree and some plants on it).
#24: SE of #23's chunk of land there is a fallen tree leaning on the ledge,
with several large trees surrounding it. This spot is in the swamp water
halfway between that set of trees, and the trees on that chunk of land.
#25: Near a small plateau SW of the exit of Gomira, there is a strip of
dry land. The end of this strip has two points, one pointing E (towards
Gomira) and the other pointing at the plateau. This spot is between that
point of the land and the plateau. (Again, sorry for being so vague, this
has no good landmarks).
#26: Right before the bridge, there is a large tree surrounded by several
plants and a rock. This spot is just slightly NE of the tree, in the swamp
water.
#27: SSW of the first ring of stones you encounter. It is near a large tree
with a fern at its base.
#28: This one is on dry land, near a totem, two large trees, and some ferns,
on the left side of the path heading SW.

19: ENEMY GUIDE (ENE19)
==========================================================================
=======================================================================
This is a list of all enemies found in the game, their weaknesses and
resistances, and what special attacks (spells and statuses) they wield.
All HP amounts are estimates, and not guaranteed to be exact. The weakness
and resistance information is almost entire hearsay and grasping at straws,
and is rarely definite or precise. Dropped item lists are similarly
incomplete and not guaranteed that every enemy of a type drops all items
associated with it, although the drops are, for the most part, accurate, but
almost definitely incomplete.
NOTE: Boraro Changelings (listed as Boraro-[Race]) have "varies" listed for
PP as it seems each battle has a different PP value for each one. The only
alternative to listing it as varies is to have about five or more entries
for each, each of which only differs in PP given. For the same reason, not
all entries of a single changeling may drop the same items.

20: COLLECTIBLES GUIDE (COL20)
==========================================================================
=======================================================================
Complete lists of all locations of collectible items. This is for use at the
end of the game, when collecting items that may have been missed. Some of
these items will not be available immediately (such as tree frogs #25-30), so
when playing the game normally, use the lists in the walkthrough.
One tip: Some items can be camouflaged very well against the environment. Tree
frogs in particular encounter this problem frequently.
MISSABLES!
-All crystal shards are missable if not collected before leaving the Kemarran
Highlands!
-Journal chapter 4 pages 3 and 4. Must be collected while in Drommar's Tomb,
as the door closes and never opens again.
-Moorlet egg 20 (the red key door glitches and won't open after first time).
-Ancient artifacts 15 to 18, and 20. 15 to 18 are in the dungeon area of
the Deeps, where SilverScale traps you. This area is impossible to return to
once left! 20 is on a platform in the switch puzzle in green scarab section.
As switches break, this cannot be returned to! (but is difficult to miss)
-Koldor's Items 2, 3, and 4. These are also in the dungeon area of the Deeps,
and like the artifacts, cannot be obtained if not collected while there.
-Although not missable as such, Journal chapter 4 page 25 is in the center of
Zonra's Tomb, and to acquire it means passing the point of no return, denying
you free-roam for the rest of the game.

21: GLITCHES (GLI21)
==========================================================================
=======================================================================
This is a compendium of known glitches in this game. The glitch's discoverer
is listed at the end. If no one is listed, I (Lancet Jades) found it myself,
much to my dismay.
RED DOOR WON'T OPEN: The red key's door in Whitewater Gorge is glitched. Once
opened once, it will never open again once it closes, even though the red
key stays in the quest items list. This is a problem, as one of the Moorlet
eggs is behind the door! Make sure to get everything there the first time
through, lest it be unobtainable forever.
PELEWAN VANISHES: If you wait too long to deliver the Kemarran Brooch to
Pelewan, he vanishes. He says he will return to Whitewater Forge, but never
does. It is unknown at what point he vanishes, but it is best to deliver the
Brooch as soon as possible (before returning to Orin, as is your goal the
first trip through).
WHITEWATER GORGE EMPTY: If entered via the secret path through the library,
the Marketplace is mostly empty. This can be fixed by leaving and re-entering
from one of the normal entrances. Entering via the library probably doesn't
load the area properly. No lasting effects.
AFTER-BATTLE DIFFICULTIES: Occasionally enemies won't trigger a specific
after-battle effect that they should. Two examples are the Zombie Lord not
yielding his Bone Hammer (preventing the game from continuing), and another
the Gargoyles on the Gargoyle Bridge (in Whitewater Gorge) not yielding
the page of Journal Chapter 3 they are supposed to. The only way to fix
these is to reload an earlier save file. Reported by Zhabin.
SNOWED-IN CHEST: In the Frost Peaks is a chest mostly covered in snow.
Opening the chest is tricky enough, but if you walk on the snow around the
upper-left corner of the chest, you'll get stuck there and not be able to
move from that spot.
GOLTIR IS BROKEN: After giving all 30 Moorlet Eggs to Goltir in Dagan, he
stops being an herbalist. Not by choice, but he no longer responds when
talked to. While Goltir's Charm is a good accessory, and you'd probably want
to get it, this does deny you a potion shop in Dagan for the rest of the
game.
INVISIBLE CHANGELINGS: After visiting Zonra's Tomb, your next goal is to
visit Oo Pang Tulmus. However, the white scarab path is not barred, and will
let you proceed back, to the agate, opal, and red scarab intersection, where
the room is filled with more Green Changelings and various Boraros. One group
of the Changelings, however, is invisible! They usually attack after killing
one particular Green Boraro. Although invisible to the player, your
characters will kill them just as easily as normal, and after defeating them,
the game carries on as normal. Not a big deal, but still surprising. A second
group of invisible Changelings then attacks, but it is the same as the first
(only three), and after that, no more appear.
ACCESSORY BUFFS DON'T WORK RIGHT: When you have multiple accessories equipped
that boost stats, such as Bracers of Power, Strength Bracers, or any of the
four treasures of ShadowFire (such as Ring of Might), the game can
miscalculate the intended stat boosts. With three Bracers of Power equipped,
try removing the top-most one. It will bring down all three Bracers' worth of
stat boosts (30 SPI and DEX, 15 STR). The game seems to calculate stat boosts
from the top slot to bottom, and removing one higher on the list causes it to
act like those below are also removed.
Another effect of this is that the treasures Ring of Might, Nimble Cloak,
Magical Crown, and Torc of Power don't count other boosts (from any accessory
equipped above them, including Bracers of Power and Strength Bracers)! Thus,
to attain the maximum benefit from the aforementioned treasures, equip them
on a lower slot than any Bracers of Power and Strength Bracers, and equip the
Torc of Power last, no matter what. Although either way, it's only a point or
two of each stat, but still something.
ENEMIES WON'T FIGHT: There are a few instances of enemies in the game that
refuse to do battle. They can be seen, but will not trigger a battle, no
matter what you do. The many Lurkers throughout the game do not apply for this
glitch, though. Some known groups:
-Two Fen Skurklings near the unmarked path with an empty tent in the
Highlands. They appear en route to the Dragon's Maw, and vanish once the
scenes there have played.
-Two DarkFell near Charak's Tomb. They appear once you see the scenes there
the first time (when getting the Black Skull).
-Four Fake Dagani near the Whitewater Gorge/Orin border late in the game.
-In the opal path deep inside the Twisting Deeps, there is a particular
hole where a Green Changeling gets caught exiting, preventing you from
fighting that group of four.
-In the large room that is the intersection of the agate, opal, and red paths
in the Deeps are two Green Changelings that appear after visiting Zonra's
Tomb. They are near the left end of the unmarked area (near a hidden path in
the wall). Nothing seems to trigger a battle.
-Near the red crystal barrier is a group of three Green Changelings. Like
with the earlier entry, one gets caught up exiting the hole, and the group
will not start a fight. This happens after Zonra's Tomb (but requires going
around the long way via the white path and large spiral pathway to get to
it).

22: ITEM TABLES (ITE22)
==========================================================================
=======================================================================
These are links to downloads for .rtf files of item tables I generated. The
four available are Weapons, Armor, Shields, and Misc. (hopefully self-
explanatory). In the future I hope to find time to transfer this data into
this guide, which, unfortunately, will be a grueling and tedious task, as the
data as it is does not translate easily into plain text.

23: INFORMATION NEEDED
==========================================================================
=======================================================================
This section details features of the game that are still a mystery to me. If
anyone out there is capable of hacking the game data and obtaining this
information, I would be grateful, as would other players of this game.
1: ATTUNEMENT
-Some weapons have an "Attunement" stat listed. This is one of the three
main stats (STR, DEX, or SPI). However, I have no idea what this means or how
it affects the weapon's performance vs. one without an attunement. I suspect
it may augment the damage with an additional bonus from that stat, however
that is but a guess. It may affect the Combo spell's performance, but if so,
there is one weapon with attunement and no combo spell, and many with a combo
spell and no attunement.
2: COMBO SPELLS
-How exactly do combo spells work? Most are identical to an actual spell, but
there are many that are not, such as the Dragon Ordeals' Dragon spells, and
many others. How does the game determine the damage, cooldown, and other
stats associated with these skills? Does it depend on your own skills? Or
does each weapon have its own stats for the combo magic. Does knowing the
combo spell in question improve its performance?
3: SHIELD SKILL
-What exactly do shield skills affect? Namely, the Critical and grandmaster
skills. Critical is worded as though it provides a critical chance boost to
weapons, and the grandmaster skill lists a set of weapon bonuses (including
definitely-weapon attributes like Accuracy, Damage, and Speed). Do these
affect weapons and not shields, and if so, do they only work for weapons that
allow use of a shield?

26: VERSION HISTORY
==========================================================================
=======================================================================
1.00 Completed November 27th, 2009.
First version completed. Subsequent updates will likely be just touching up
the guide, rather than true revisions.
1.01 Completed December 1st, 2009.
Added info on all glitches to the "Additional Notes" section of the area they
occur in. Don't know why I didn't think of that before. Idea courtesy of
Zhabin.
1.02 Completed December 3rd, 2009.
More minor revisions and grammar issues fixed, some inconsistencies and other
errors fixed, too.
1.03 Completed December 12th, 2009.
Fixed a few other errors and inconsistencies I've since noticed.
1.04 Completed February 9th, 2010.
Thanks to micgurk1 for "proofreading" the guide on his playthrough. He's not
done yet, but I also made some corrections elsewhere and wanted to get the
new version up.
1.05 Completed April 15th, 2010.
Moved the version history to the back of the guide.
1.06 Completed June 15th, 2010.
Edited a few things.
1.07 Completed June 5th, 2011.
Changed my contact information.
1.08 Completed October 28th, 2001.
Added a note about how well-camouflaged some collectibles are.
1.09 Completed June 25th, 2012.
Fixed a couple of spacing and spelling errors, and updated the whitelist to

1.13 Completed September 15th, 2016.
Updated my contact info.
1.14 Completed December 21st, 2016.
Replaying the game. Not sure how far I'll get, but I fixed up a couple of
things for Lord Kort's lands near the start, including several missing Zombie
encounters. Not sure how I missed them so badly. Also added notes about the
Rusty Sword and possible Steel Breastplate from the mound. Also found some
more swamp treasure spots in Dagan.
1.15 Completed January 18th, 2017.
Discovered a bunch of enemies respawn in the swamp after meeting the Oracle.
Turns out the trigger for new enemies is not the Oracle meeting itself, but
rather meeting the amnesiac Sarojin in the stone ruins on the way to Palash
afterwards. There's enough extra encounters for a couple thousand more PP for
Jarik and Tahir. These enemies were originally misplaced in the Palash section
as spawning after reaching La'Shon. Also added default skill info for Tylonee,
to show exactly what she comes with and how much PP she is considered to start
with. Tahir and SunDeep will come later. Added a note about buying Armored
Bracers, and some tips on curing the blinded Kemarran in Whitewater Gorge.
1.16 Completed January 27th, 2017.
Added more info through the end of Kemarr Highlands, and discovered that the
zombies in Lord Kort's lands around that time drop Spi Boosts!
