v2.21 Username change, contact information update, fixed a few typos. I will
hopefully be obtaining a copy of this game within the next few weeks and
if so, will probably rewrite the existing strategies as well as finally
write the Dark strategies.
v2.2 Inverted version history, changed username, updated permissions list,
added Anti-Permissions list, replaced Storyline with Introduction.
v2.1 Gave a few more sites permission to post this faq.
v2.0 Finished Epothos' campaign and added cheatcc.com to the permissions
section. Worked on the Storyline a bit.
v1.0 Wrote walkthrough's for Aenna's entire campaign and the first mission of
Epothos' campaign. Finished Character, Unit, and Control lists.

---------------------------
III. Introduction
---------------------------

This game is an extremely fun and challenging combination of chess and a
standard fighting arcade game. This guide will attempt to help you complete
the story mode by being based on the most common moves made by your computer
opponent. Keep in mind that you will still need to do the battle sequences
yourself. This guide has been kept fairly open so that fluxuations in the
battle won't harm your chances of success, but just keep in mind you may
still need to play a level multiple times to win.

When I started this guide I did so off of a rental copy. The reason this guide
has never been completed was because I had to return it and this game has since
become very difficult to find. One day I will obtain a copy of it and finish
this guide.

IV. Permissions
---------------------

Here is a list of all the sites that currently have permission to put this FAQ
on their site. If you have asked for permission and your name is not on the
list, chances are it's because I haven't created a new version. When I create a
new version of the document I will be sure to include the URL of your site.
Please don't e-mail me saying you got permission but it's not on here. I ask
this to prevent people from lying and getting permission without asking. Think
about it. In that e-mail that you sent saying your site isn't on here you could
have asked me and gotten permission. You just wasted an e-mail. Besides I keep
a close record of who has asked and who hasn't. Actually, unless your site has
a reputation of ripping off people's walkthroughs then I really have no reason
to deny permission. But please, just ask.

Note that the latest version of this and all my other guides will always be
available on GameFAQs.

V. Anti-Permissions
---------------------

This is a list of sites that I never have and never will give permission to,
no matter how nicely they ask. These sites have a strong reputation of stealing
guides from other authors and even going so far as to modify them to add
themselves to permissions lists or remove themselves from anti-permissions
lists. If you are reading this guide on one of the sites listed below know that
you are reading an unauthorized and illegally obtained copy, and that any
information in that copy may be out of date or entirely incorrect. Please visit

IX. Units
---------------------------

The number appearing after each units name is both the amount of strength each
unit has and the amount of health each unit has. To view in-game, the amount of
health the unit has is the number of health bars (a full bar plus any health
packs) and the strength is the number of symbols appearing to the left of each
units health bar. (God has the top symbol filled in instead of a fifth symbol.)

=============
Dark Covenant
=============

Briefing - Aenna's Prized Artifact, the crown of ages has been stolen. The
identity of the thief remains a mystery. Yet Aenna suspects it is
part of a plot conceived for control of the Throne of Gaia. Durlock
comes to Aenna, claiming to possess knowledge about the crown's
theft.

Objectives - Take control of the Ambrosia Bloom.
- Use gates, terrains, and your sentinel barriers to your advantage!

Strategy - This being the first mission is the game, it is definately the
easiest. But don't expect Helamis to take it easy on you. Rely on
your Unicorns and Ogre Mages to do your dirty work and your Centaurs
for defense only.

With the Ogre Mages, the first thing you want to do is charge your
opponent. As you near him, just go on a rampage repeatedly hitting
light melee and throwing in a heavy melee once in a while. This will
allow you to charge straight through opponents while taking minimal
damage.

When using the Unicorns, just hold block until the opponent stops
attacking for a second then get in with a quick light melee combo.
Rinse, lather, repeat for desired effect.

==========
Demon Hunt
==========

Briefing - Helamis has stolen the sacred Crown of Ages and concealed it in a
chaotic region of ethereal space known as The Maelstrom. A powerful
Chaos Demon stands guard over the Crown. Recover the relic before it
is forever lost in the ether.

Objectives - Find and defeat the hidden Chaos Demon.
- Position your creaures on Nexus Points simultaneously to trigger
them.
- Spells and gates may also be helpful.

Strategy - Depending on how you look at it, the first part of this mission can
be either easier or tougher than the last mission. The only unit you
really have to worry about until you unlock the hidden island is the
Nightmare Adept which, if your skilled enough, can be taken down
with two Unicorns.

The first thing I would recommend doing is taking a Unicorn and
sending it to the island with the unoccupied Temple on it. Whether
you defeat the Nightmare Adept or not, the second Unicorn you send
to the island can move directly onto the Temple and because that
space is a Water element, the Nightmare Adept won't touch you.
Then send a Unicorn to the nearest island with a Nexus Point. Defeat
the Centabra there and bring in a Genie for backup if you need it.

At this point you should have secured one of the three Nexus Points
and Helamis is passing all of her turns. Send your second Genie to
exterminate the Djinn guarding the second Nexus Point. I find that a
combination of the Ogre Mage and Unicorn strategies works best by
charging the enemy at the beginning then after the initial rampage,
guard and attack only when an opening appears.

Now for the big guns! Send your Frost Dragon to secure the final
Nexus Point. If you stay on the glaciers, you may find that the Dark
Unicorn guarding the Nexus will move out of your way to avoid
fighting on your terrain. When you take the final Nexus Point, you
should have about 18 turns remaining. Now you have to use either
your Frost Dragon to defeat the Chaos Demon or you can be risky and
send in Aenna. The only difference is that if you lose with Aenna,
the game will be over if you lose. Another strategy is to use your
Frost Dragon first and then send in Aenna if you lose.

Vengeance
=========

Briefing - Using the arcane power of the Crown of Ages, Aenna has uncovered
Helamis's secret island. Aenna begins her charge to avenge the
crown's theft.

Objectives - Capture Temple points or defeat Helamis in battle.
- Remember that a Citadel counts as two Temple points.
- Use your Adept and the Magic Amplifier to your advantage.

Strategy - I really don't have a strategy for this one. In the end it ended up
Aenna vs Helamis with full health on both of us. I just barely
scraped through the fight. All I know is that you have to have great
fighting skills to pull this one off.

==================
Aenna's Ascendance
==================

Briefing - With Epothos, Aenna voyages to Armageddon Island hoping to seize the
Throne of Gaia, seeking to prevent Helamis from stealing its power
and ravaging all of creation.

Objectives - Capture the required number of Temple points to win the Throne of
Gaia.

Strategy - This is it... the big showdown! It's you and Epothos versus Helamis
and Durlock. You also get to watch and see how good your partner is
in battle. There are only eight temples in the area and you need to
secure six of them to win. Luckily, any temples that Epothos gains
control of also benefits you. Durlock easily has the smallest army
and should pose little threat. It's Helamis you need to worry about.
Getting the first five temples should be easy enough. For the sixth
one you will have to go through Helamis' army though. It's time to
take her down once and for all.

Instead of taking on one of the other Demigods directly, it's easier
to try to take out the Chaos Demon sitting on the Temple to the
right hand side of the area. Use either your Juggernaut Adept or
your Frost Dragon for best results but if Durlock keeps getting in
your way feel free to bring out the Giantess.

And so ends the story of Aenna. Until another time perhaps...

Anguish
=======

Briefing - Aenna has stormed Epothos's domain without warning, betraying their
truce. Enraged and confused, Epothos lashes back against the
intrusion, never suspecting that he and Aenna are but victims of a
cunning deception...

Objectives - Capture Temple points or defeat Aenna in battle.
- Remember, Unicorns can cross gaps!

Strategy - In this mission it is easy enough to get all of the temples required
without going anywear near Aenna. Use your Giantess if she sends her
Juggernaut Adept after you and you shouldn't have any trouble
winning this match.

Briefing - Infuriated by the attempt to pit him against his beloved Aenna,
Epothos seeks to punish Helamis on her own grounds.

Objectives - Defeat Helamis in battle or capture her Citadel to win.
- The Mythic Forge will reveal advantageous terrain near her
Citadel.

Strategy - Start by teleporting a Blaze Dragon to the center arena as close to
the Southern Temple as you can. After you face a strangely easy
Cyclops, move him onto the temple and wait for your health to
refill. You will be attacked by weakling Dark Unicorns but pay them
no mind. Slaughter them, and when your health is full, head onto the
Mythic Forge and defeat the Cyclops there.

This unlocks a bunch of fire terrain all throughout the map. Your
best bet would be to send at least one (if not two) fully charged
Blaze Dragons directly to her Citadel and, if needed, follow up with
Epothos himself. Be careful if Helamis has four or more magic though
because she might cast Wrath on Epothos which really sucks as
there's no way to dodge it. Overall this is not a tough mission.

Bonds of Darkness
=================

Briefing - Still reeling from his battle with Helamis, Epothos returns to his
realm to ponder the events that have unfolded, only to find that his
domain faces siege once more. Caught off guard, he must destroy
Durlock's attacking forces before they close in.

Objectives - Capture Temple points or defeat Durlock in battle.
- Reveal more Temples by capturing the Nexus Points.
- Use Gates to your advantage.

Strategy - This one is a bit tricky. Your best bet is to pummel Durlock with
all your strongest characters at once. Watch out though because he
has two Iron Golems and a Nightmare Adept guarding his postion.
Taking him down is a lot easier than trying to get five Temples,
that's for sure.

================
Might of Epothos
================

Briefing - Durlock has boldly gone to the sacred Throne of Gaia, to take
absolute power. Aenna has joined the fiery overlord Epothos in his
quest to stop Durlock. But the dark side will undoubtedly have an
ally, for Helamis cannot resist the chaos of battle...

Objectives - Capture the required number of Temple points to win the Throne of
Gaia.

Strategy - Not much to say here. Just try to secure the temples as quickly as
possible. Oh, and for some reason, the computers think it is a good
idea to move their Demigods off of their temples for this match.
This includes Aenna, your "partner".
