In this walkthrough, it will be included also the guide for the maze of
trials, since that other gamefaqs have only mentioned it: the other users
who have submitted their gamefaq haven’t cleared this dungeon.
The first battle will be against Lord Bane. It’s a battle that you can’t win,
so just use def.
The group will survive and Rayko, who has been saved by Ferral, will join you
after seeing Lord Bane to kill also his own troops.
Stage: forest
What to do: the objective is simple, you must kill the enemies and flee from
the forest reaching the northern part of the stage.
Juza and his followers will catch you and your group will have to fight
against him. Continue to use defensive moves, it’s another battle that you
can’t win.
Stage: dungeon of the aragon’s castle
After talking with Lord Bane, Aletha and Katzhai will free you and they will
join your group.
What to do: kill the enemies, open the treasures on the southwest map and go
towards the northern door to escape from Juza, who at that point will appear.
Don’t try to open door which contains the other treasures, it can’t be
opened yet, you will the have the occasion of opening them later in the game.
Items found: 2 heals
Now that your group’s escaped from the castle, Aragon decides to visit
Vargaas, the old wise man who lives at the top of burgeon mountain to get
tips. Go northwest to find the mountain.
Stage: mountain burgeon
What to do: it’s important that your group must be united to face this stage,
use ptc shd and defensive moves when you can’t attack the enemies. About
reptens, wait they attack you if they’re near to you to avoid their crt
move when you attack them.
Reached the top, you will meet Vargaas who will tell you that other five
warriors are needed to defeat Lord Bane. So, you must look for other five
warriors while you explore Mystaria. You can start at exploring almost any
zone of Mystaria, in fact you can find the other warriors in any order you
want;however this is the order I recommend:
From Queensheart, go west to find the Sibone town, it’s exactly at south of
burgeon mountain. You can’t enter in the city yet, because the Bane’s troops
have been invading it, so you must first kill them.
What to do: you must just kill the enemies, but have both the archers in your
group because the most of enemies whom you will encounter in this area are
archers, use ptc shd as always and use defensive moves when you can’t attack
them.
After killing all of them, you can enter in the city.Read the billboard, go in
the bar and talk to the bartender, read the billboard again, talk to bartender
again so that he will sign a post on the billboard about you would like meet
him. Read the billboard another time and exit from the city.
Stage: meeting Hawk
What to do: dispose of the enemies quickly and you will meet Hawk.
Aragon will propose to Hawk of joining his group to defeat Bane together, but
he will refuse because he want kill him alone, so he leaves.
Stage: inside the castle dungeon
What to do: get the items inside the treasures and go upstairs.
Items found: Mana +1, sorcerer, T. Claw, Light B., Spengen, and Heal +1.
Now you must safe hawk by the enemies, so kill them quickly. Don’t bother to
opening the doors because they can’t be opened yet.
After saving him, Hawk will join your group and he will reveal its true name,
Galford.Now,from sibone, head to west to reach the dragoon country. You could
meet some banditswhen you cross the border. Enter in Zarma, if you want to go
shopping but it’s not necessary.
Your goal is to enter in the dragon castle pillaged by the enemies inside it.
In the castle, you will notice a young knight dragoon who is fighting against
the enemies.
He is your new second member and he has the ability to morphing himself into
a dragon. He is definitively the most powerful character in the game when he’s
a dragon.
Kill the enemies and reach the staircase. Reached the first floor, you will
fall into a trap prepared by Selene, one of the Bane’s five leaders. So your
group will be kept captive in the castle’s dungeon but Ashe who has been told
by Selene of bringing water to the cellar guard. The task is not so simple as
it seems, in fact you will have to avoid the guards who will try to bar the way
and if you will be hit by one of them, you will spill some water. If you spill
some water for two times, you will have redo the task from the scratch. Press
C-button on them to check how far they can walk, go beyond their
“radius action”, and play carefully your moves. In the dungeon, open the chest
containing the wine, talk to the guard who will want to drink the wine. Hewill
drink it so eagerly that he will be drunk and fall asleep and you will can free
your friends taking the guard’s keys.
Stage: battle with Selene
What to do: first of facing Selene, get the items below unless that you’ve
already taken them with Ashe, kill first all the other enemies using ptc shd,
healing when necessary and using defensive moves when you can’t attack them,
then do the same when you fight Selene.
Items found: w-killer, w-shoes, r.leg, m. piece
Now go to south from the dragon castle, and soon you will find to left the
entrance of a forest, named Spirit Forest.
Stage: Spirit Forest
What to do: kill the enemies with the usual strategy and get the items.
Items found: Herbert, Paradin, Paper
Now back to Queensheart and from there go to east beyond the border to reach
the Rossam region. Enter in the Kolbe village if you need to buy something,
otherwise continue to south and you will find soon to right the ingress of
another forest, named Ingress Forest, it’s not a joke.
Stage: Ingress Forest
What to do: kill the enemies with the habitual manner and get the items. About
gales, they can become invisible and when they’re in this state, you can damage
them only with magic attacks or let aletha use magic eye if she’slearned
that technique, then attack them normally.
Items found: D-knife, Pacopaco and B.Orb
Now that your group has got weapons with dark proprieties, you’re ready to
enter in the Mild Tower and find your next warrior. Go south and turn left to
reach the tower. Inside the tower, there are monsters who can’t be attacked
normally, in fact they can be damaged only by magic attacks, weapons and attack
techniques with dark proprieties.
Stage: mild Tower
What to do: equip Aragon with the Paradin, Rayko with D-knife and Ferral with
Herbert and Kathzai should have the doom strike as ninja t. After this
preparation, use the usual strategy and you shouldn’t have problems. Reached
the top, there will be nobody, so step on the circle which will teleport you
outside from the tower. At this point, one sorcerer will appear and he will
become your new warrior. Zereth will ask you a favour, he want your help to
find an item hidden in the ruins, but first of satisfying his request, it’s
better going somewhere else.
Now, go west, exceed the border and you will enter in the Mydi region. Enter in
the city at south, named Ortoma, and talk to the bartender who will ask you if
you could get rid of pirates who have been vexing the city. Accept and take
zereth and don’t take Ashe if you want a real challenge, but if you’re worried
about the things could become too tough, then select him. Your ship will be
attacked by the pirate ship thinking that your ship is a cargo ship, just as
planned previously by Aragon.
Stage: fighting the pirates
What to do: use the strategy of always and as soon as you will defeat the lady
corsair, the battle will finish, so if you want more experience, kill first the
other pirates.
Before that the pirates retreat, your group will sneak in their ship and you
will find yourself on an isle.
Stage: deserted isle
What to do: use the usual strategy +mgc shield, use zereth’s magic attacks,
while saura should focus into healing the group, occupy the place from the
reinforcements arrive, and get the items with levitation or with Ashe if
you have chosen him. As last thing, to go on and destroy the rocks; it’s not
necessary to destroy all of them, two is enough. These rocks could be
impervious to most your attacks, so use doom strike, drg flame and magic
attacks.
Items found: mana +1, m. piece, h-glove, holycrown
Now, you must move Fiona and open simply the treasures which contain precious
gems, you can’t miss them. After that, Fiona and your group will fight
together to defeat the soldiers who have been occupying the Barracuda. After
defeating the enemies, you can back to Mydy area. Enter in ortoma and talk to
the bartender who will give you 10.000 gems as reward.
What to do: have I to say what to do?It’s time to find the last warrior. Enter
in the ruins whose zereth had been talking about.
Stage: ruins ground floor
What to do: these type of monsters are weak against the holy or dark
properties, so use the right weapons, technique attacks and magic. About the
birds, see the section concerning the gale on how defeat them. Beside these
informations, use the usual strategy and get the items.
Items found: m. piece, lunhaim, aqua
Stage: ruins first underground floor
What to do: you will face Helius, another leader of the banes army, he is not
difficult, but first of killing him, try to get the items, otherwise you will
can get them later.
Stage: ruins second underground floor
In this area, one of the treasure contains the item whom zereth has been
searching. So kill all the enemies and open the treasures to make him happy.
Items found: light, G.orb, D- fang
Now that your group is completed, Aragon decides to visit vargaas, but zereth
leaves the group saying he have to do a very important thing . Your group is
sent automatically at the top of mountain, vargaas sees you’re only eleven,
aragon tells him that the legendary sorcerer had to left, so the wiseman
decides to join your group temporally. Now that vargaas is your side, you can
fly over mystaria, in fact pressing the A-button it will appear the white ray,
a legendary creature who will take you everywhere you want. So, use the white
ray and from Queensheart fly to west and land on a little isle with a cave.
Inside it, there’s a hidden passage leading to the castle, the perfect method
to break into. Have hawk in your group.
Stage. Grottos cave
What to do: kill the enemies, get the items, activate the
switch and go in the next area

In the next area there will be a monster spider as boss, steal the mega strike
and face death technique to the monster, kill it, get the items and open the
door to break into the castle

Stage: castle dungeon again
What to do: the enemies must be killed very quickly here, because there’s a
poisonous gas which damages your group every turn and as usual take the items
and go upstairs. Items found: Knight, Darkness, Holy, Illusion, M. stone, Holy
In the next area, kill all the enemies and occupy the place from the
reinforcements arrive so that you can get the items with calm and go upstairs
on the east side.
Items found: m. stone, 3 mana, c. mind, wing 1, heal +2
Stage: fight against Juza and Lord Bane!
It’s not a difficult battle if you’re cautious and use the usual strategy and
don’t forget to use Hawk to steal the hell fire technique to Lord Bane.But
the battle is not over because the Bane whom you’ve defeated wasn’t the real
Bane. After talking with rastigan and receiving some informations about the
crystals in the forests, you will be out from the castle.Now from ortoma, go
to north and enter in the city named Natis. Read the billboard, enter into the
house to right and talk to the woman twice. She will ask you to rescue her
daughter who has been kidnapped by a religious cult hiding into a castle
situated on a hill. Use the white ray, and land near to the castle located at
north-east of the city.
Stage: castle ground floor
What to do: The team decides to split itself, so initially play very
carefully whereas you fight enemies and take the items. Afterward the group is
reunited, go downstairs.
Items found: Dream, Mana+1
Stage. castle first underground floor
What to do: kill the enemies and open other two treasures and go deeper
Items found: wisemen, amlita
Stage: fighting the leader of the cult
What to do: kill him and you will free the girl, her name is Millidi.
Back in the city, talk with the girl’s mother. Enter in the house, talk and
exit a couple of times until that you get 10.000 gems as reward and a good
-luck-charm. Now reach the central part of Mystaria with the white ray, you
will notice a cloud surrounding the entrance of the forest, so put yourself
where there’s the hole and land.
Stage: Mysterious forest
What to do: kill enemies, take the items and enter in the dungeon.
Stage: inside the dungeon
What to do: to reach the exit, you must sink and lift some platforms, it’s not
so difficult, after a few tries, you will figure the right sequence, about
enemies it’s time to use hell fire, and take the the items.
Items found: Warrior, Comet, Exorcism, Moon Stone, Wing, Mana +2, Dark, and
Mana +2
Now it’s turn of moving the lonely Galford. Open the treasures whom he finds
and follow this sequence: up, right, right, down, down, right, up, right and it
will appear a fairy who’s been waiting for you.
It’s left also a thing to do first of entering into Quixotica. So, fly to
west to reach the city Battlum, the legendary battle city, it’s near to the
spirit forest. Here you can buy some weapons which aren’t sold anywhere. You
will notice the entrance to a dungeon,it’s called Maze of trials.
It’s an optional dungeon and it’s the longest and the most difficult of all the
game, no doubt about this. In my opinion, it’s worth to explore all of it
because some items you can find are really great and unique; furthermore the
final battle will be much more easier with these items (even if the battle
itself is not so difficult by default).you could have visited the dungeon as
soon as you could fly obviously, but it would have been almost suicide,
meanwhile now your party’s members should have the right equipment,the right
magic attacks, the right attacks techniques and the right levels to clear it.
However it’s up to you if try it or not. I use these characters: Rayko, Vargaas,
Hawk, Aletha,Saura and Ashe. Their level should be 25 or above except for Ashe
because his dragon form is so powerful that he could be under 25 without
problems.
Rayko should be equipped with: Comet, Spengen, Dragon, Aqua and D. Fang.He
should have NINJA T until Charge strike. He should have HTH T until spin kick
Vargaas should be equipped with: Sorcerer, Wisemen, Magic- G and B. Orb He
should have ATK T until helfre, whereas he should have HOLY T until holy avg
and SPC T until mgc shd.
Hawk should be equipped with: Exorcism, Warrior,Knight, Holy and P. stone. He
should have BOW T until dth stm.He should have STEAL T until steal T
Aletha should be equipped with: Light, Sorcerer, Pretty, H. Glove and C. Mind
She should have BOW T until dth stm
She should have SPCT until mgc shd
Saura should be equipped with: Tiara, Holy, H. Glove and Moon S. She should
have ATK T until helfre, meanwhile she should have HOLY T until holy avg
Since that Ashe will be always transformed into his dragon form, his equipment
isn’t relevant because it doesn’t affect the dragon’s stats at all. He should
have DRG T until ltg bst
You should have 9 mana +1 and 8 mana +2 ( only 8 because you will find another
mana +2 in the dungeon, so it’s useless to buy it ) and if you haven’t bought
the gazelle already, do it now.
The general strategy for each floor is covering the drawings with the party‘s
members as soon as possible, because it’s on these drawings that the
reinforcements continue to appear.
Ground floor
Enemies: Repten and Warskull (they’re enemies whom you’ve already met, so you
should know how to kill them efficiently, however here below there’s the
strategy to defeat them)
How kill them: use ptc shd and use your best moves as dth storm and ltg blast.
About reptens, wait they attack you if they’re near to you to avoid their crt
move when you attack them, instead ashe can use his ltg blast without being
worried about their crt. Save the magic attacks for later. At this point of the
game, the Warskulls are easy to defeat but their magic can be damaging, so use
mgc shd. Obviously both enemies mustn’t enter in the shields.
What to do: don’t open the door but take the left way and go in the downstairs.
First underground floor
Enemies: Gespenst, Gale (even these they’re enemies whom you’ve already met)
How to kill them: use ltg blast and light o kill the ghosts; it’s useless that
rayko and hawk use their holy weapons since that there’re so few enemies here.
About gale, if it’s invisible, use mgc eye and attack it normally.
What to do: a rock can’t be moved because there’s a hole behind it, so use acd
spi against the other one for two times, fly over the hole, kill the enemies
with ltg blast and get the items.
Items found: Wing 2, Soliton and heal+2
Wing 2: wearing this will enable you to be very active (ring) +3energy
Soliton: you can have already this weapon buying it at battlum’s weapon shop
( for archers )
Back to the ground floor, open the central door and the treasure chest which
will contain a mana +2. Now before of heading to the first underground floor
again, Hawk should have the gazelle as weapon equipped and Rayko should have
the D-knife.
First underground floor second visit
Enemies: Phantasy, Gespenst and Gale (you’ve met Phantasy too)To kill
Phantasy, see the strategy above used for Gespenst
What to do: use acd spi against the central rock, move aletha beyond the rock
below and use mgc shield, then move hawk and use omega arrow to start at
killing the enemies. Move vargaas and use ptc shield, then use the other
characters to kill the remaining enemies.
Items found: muramasa, trident and dualhand. All these weapons can be purchased
at the battlum’s weapon shop.
Reequip exorcism and Comet
Second underground floor
Enemies: Seele, Scaleus and Mach (other enemies whom you know already)
What to do: you could use hell fre to kill instantly the monster with saura
and vargaas, but it’s not necessary at all, since that it would be better to
save mana for the second section of the floor and the last underground floor,
so I strongly suggest you of using the general strategy (ptc + mgc shield +
best fighters’ moves). However after killing the enemies following the first or
the second method, open the door and let hawk on the square occupied by the
left leaf so that he can kill the enemies without being hit and move the other
member’s group on the zone opposed to the treasure on the left corner up and
don’t try to open the door, because it can’t be opened yet. Wait all enemies
are behind that door and kill them. Then move rayko toward the updoor, open it
and all the other doors will be opened, now the party’s members should move on
3-4 squares above. Use finally the hell fre with saura. Kill the remaining
enemies, occupy the symbols and take the items.
Items found: g.shoes, d.fang and heal+2
g. shoes : wearing these, you will be able to move fast like light (ring)
speed 30 up
Third and the last underground floor
Enemies: Paenite, Araxune and Paston ( a new enemy finally; this enemy will be
also present in the next stages of the game )
What to do: unleash all your fury! ptc + mgc shd + best fighter’s moves and
hell fre and heal the group when necessary and use hawk on paston to steal
the death flame technique forashe. Repeat this procedure until that two
characters occupy the two symbols located on the bottom of the floor. Then
use ashe to get the items and kill enemies who guard at the other upstairs.
Taking the upstairs you will gain access to the other section of the second
underground floor.
Items found: m.stone, mana+2, holy(shd), anty-m, magic.g, wise
Anty-M: +104 def from the character’s value base, res 36up, armour for warriors
Wise: +37 def from the characters value base, int 44up, helm for sorcerers,
protection by the lunar power
Second underground floor second visit
Kill the enemies, open the treasure which contains mana+2 and take the
upstairs.
First underground third visit
Kill the enemies, open the treasure which contains the item tiara and take
the last upstairs
Ground floor again
Items found: astral, m.stone, critical and amulet
Astral: the ultimate weapon for kord
Critical: +177atk, hit critical 44%up, for archers
Amulet: ring, I let to you the surprise of discovering its awesome effect
Congratulations, you’ve got all the items of this dungeon, now you must “only”
making your way back to reach the exit, but it will be not so difficult. Well,
now you’re ready to enter into Quixotica.
Stage: Quixotica
What to do: there are two ways to face this stage. The first consists into
using Ashe’s acid spit to move the rocks on the drawings to block the arrive
of the reinforcements. The second way is to reaching the upper part of the
stage as soon as possible. However either you’ve chosen the first or the
second way, the method for killing the enemies is the same, the usual good
method and take the items. Continue going up and you will face the next stage,
instead touch one of the crystals and you will back to one of Mystaria’s
forests.
Items found: Demon, Mana +2, H-toga, Dazzling, Wing 2,Lucifer, Wise, and
Holy-M.
Stage: the Bane’s castle
Aragon sees his mother and follow her, so your party has a less person
What to do: person kill the enemies and take the items.
Items found: Evil, Arc, Lune, and Anti-M
Stage: fighting Ciresa
What to do: make your way through the enemies and take the items before
opening the door where behind it there’s Zereth who’s waiting you. The open
the door and Zereth will transform into Ciresa, let Ashe take care of him and
he will be defeated in a few turns.
Items found:Mana+2, Demon, Mana+2, Spirit,Mana+2
Stage: Aragon and his mother
What to do: follow exactly the movements of the Aragon’s mother and after
short he will talk with her and you will get the following items: Astral,
Earth, Desband Sword. Successively Aragon will reunite with the group
Stage: fighting the four leaders.
What to do: use your defensive shields, heal when necessary,use your best
moves and the four leaders shouldn’t represent a problem.
Stage: fighting the true Lord Bane
What to do: use hell fre to kill at once most possible enemies. After
killing all of them, face Lord Bane. He will not be difficult.
Stage: fleeing from the castle.
What to do: the terrain is collapsing, so you must kill asap the enemies who
block your way and touch the crystal to go back to Mystaria.
Stage: it’s turn of the other your heroes to battle
What to do: kill the enemies and reach the fairy
Stage The final battle
What to do: use your best fighters but, you could be surprised hearing this,
don’t transform Ashe into a dragon, do it only when he faces the boss,
because if the enemies confuse him, he could kill one or more characters with
one hit. There’s a good chance that he can become confuse. To fight the true
boss of the game, you must first kill Ciresa, then you will can reach the
other boss. Unleash all your fury, and after some turns also this boss will
be defeated.
Congratulations, you’ve finished the game.
