The Lunar: Magic School Walkthru Ver 0.5

[email protected]

Author's Forward.

I have tried my best to put together a walkthru for this game so that other non
Japanese speaking people like myself can enjoy this installment of the Lunar
series. However as I know no Japanese,all explanations are taken from other
people and are therefore possibly misinterpreted by me. I cannot guarantee the
accuracy of the explanations but I can say that to the best of my knowledge they
are correct. If you know otherwise, please tell me so I can change it. Same with
any information on this site. If you know something I don't please share it with
me so that I can put it up here for everyone to see. I'll give you all the
credit you want. Honest.

Chapter 5 has been removed and is pending more explanation. If any of you have
any explanations on the chapters 5 and above, please E-mail me as I need them
desperatedly. This walkthru has been completely re-written and should now be far
easier to use. Please visit my page at
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Fortress/4742 for a spell list and the
latest version of my walkthru and othe information on Lunar: Magic School.

Credits.

It must be mentioned that almost everything here has been given to me by other
people. How else can a non-japanese speaker be able to write anything that looks
remotely like a walkthru? These are the people whom without, this walkthru would
never have been possible.

1. Ben Wood - The fluent speaker of Japanese on the Lunar mailing list and
message board. Ben has helped me immesurably and tirelessly by explaining what
has happened and telling me where I missed spells. Without him more than 80% of
this walkthru would not be here.

2. Nick - This friendly guy, convinced me that Lunar: Magic School was good and
gave me the courage to ignore all the bad reviews which I've come to realise
were greatly exzaggerated. He is also the one who has offered to contribute some
nice pictures when his exams finish. Good luck for your tests, Nick!

3. Forte - For being the first one to give me feedback and ensuring me that
people actually read this walkthru. His praise fueled my desire to improve this
walkthru and he is also the one who gave me an idea for a web page and the
result is what you're reading now.

4. Locke - This friendly guy on the Sega Saturn Game Shark Message Board, has
been most
helpful with providing me with codes to make checking the walkthru much easier
despite having a demanding job. Without him, this walkthru would have taken much
longer to revise from the original version.

5. Keeping with the rules of the Geocities web site, the author wishes to
express his gratitude to this organisation to allow him to use put up this page
on their web. If you want to set up your own page, I recommend that you come
here.

Revision History

14-12-97

Walkthru completely revised and explanations added for every section. Chapter 5
has been
temporarily taken down, pending an appeal for explanations.

Prolouge:

The game begins with a movie of the villian of the game walking along a tunnel
with a lantern. He stops by a locked door and mouths a complicated incantation.
The door opens and he enters to find a single green jewel. The villian takes the
jewel and says that he has finally found it before breaking into evil laughter.
On the brighter side, the movie shifts to a apple harvest, where many children
and adults alike are gathering apples. A close up of Elie and Lena are seen
before the movie ends.

Lena comments that the harvest has been good this year and Elie agrees. Just
then an old man walks up and asks for directions to a nearby cave. The girls are
startled by his sudden appearance and jump in surprise. Just then, Lena's father
asks Elie to help him pick some apples which are too high for him to reach. When
Elie shows her unique ability to fly, the old man is amazed and comments that it
is impossible for normal people to do that. Lena remarks that it is a gift. The
girls then direct the old man to the cave. Once at the cave we are treated to
another movie

This movie shows the villain walking up to a large cavern where a single pillar
is. Raising the jewel he demands for the being's power. Outside the cave, a
large fortress rises out from the ground and floats out to sea. The girls stare
in amazement. The old man then remarks that he is a talent scout from the Lunar:
Magic School and he would like to invite them to come as students. Lena gets her
father's permission and accepts this invitation along with Elie.

Chapter 1:

You get control of your characters at this point and I think that it would be a
good idea if we go through the controls at this point which are in Japanese. If
you are unfamiliar with them, playing Lunar: Magic School will become irritating
very fast.

Pressing 'A' or 'Start' will bring up the menu where there are several options.

The 'heart' is the icon for 'status'. Selecting this icon will bring up the
status of a member of your party. Moving the controller left and right will
select the status of other members of your party. The bottom left numbers on
your status screen indicate expreience points. The figure at the top is the
total amount of exp you have accumulated in the game and the lower figure is the
amount of exp you need to level up. This figure will decrease as you gain
experiance. Level Upping will recover all your HPs and MPs.

The 'wand' icon is the icon for 'magic'. This icon will show you the spells you
have learned. If you select this you will realise that Elie has no knowledge of
spells at this point of time even though she has MPs. This is not a mistake, she
will use them when she learns her first spell later in the game. Lena on the
other hand has two spells. Heal minor and Revive.

Although spell descriptions are in another section of my page, for those who
just saved this page 'as is', heal minor will recover HPs for a single
character. The amount will increase as your level increases. Revive will allow a
character who has been knocked unconscious in battle to fight once again.

The final icon is 'options', once this is selected three more options will
appear. The topmost means 'save'. You can use this to save into the Sega
Saturn's internal or external memory a maximum of 5 games. The second one is
'load'. Use this to load a previously saved game. The last one is 'more options
or preferences'. Three selections are present here. The first one toggles the
sound between Stereo and Mono. The default choice is Stereo. The second adjusts
message speed. The rightmost option is fastest and the leftmost option is
slowest. The third option stands for manual or automatic.
This command is only effective in battle and will be explained when we enter the
battle filled areas.

The 'C' button initiates conversations and allows you to search. Although money
and items are no longer in the game, there are occasions where you have to
search so do not ignore this button. By default, button 'B' automatically
cancels or says no to a command in any situation. Now that you know the controls
we can proceed.

This is where all the people who have been invited to join the Magic School are.
They, like you, have been told to come here and wait. Talk around a bit if you
want, then head to the house where you'll find three boys. Talk to the center
guy and they'll tell you that they are in a rush and charge at you. These rude
and annoying guys will be present thoughout your school life and will ,more
often than not, make life difficult for you. Lena is angry at their behavior as
seen by the storm clouds. This is a sign of anger. I have yet to realise what
the glowing head or lines on the head mean. If you know what these symbolise,
please tell me.

Go out and talk to the guy next to the door. Just to your right and you'll see a
movie of the three boys teasing a half-beast girl about her beastlike
appearance. Lena prompts Elie to interfere and they walk towards the boys. The
boys then pick on Lena's height and call her short. She doesn't like that much
but before things can deteriorate, we see why you are all told to wait here to
be taken to the school. The Lunar: Magic School is on a floating island which is
now docking at this area.

The students gather in front of the bridge and the three boys rush ahead
knocking down the person who had come to welcome the new students. Following
their cue, the other students rush ahead too, stampeding the guy. At this point,
the helf-beast girl calls to you and introduces herself as Senia. She makes
friends with you and joins your party. She has two lightning blot spells. The 6
MP one has small range and damage wheras the 15 MP one hits all enemies and has
powerful damage.

Walking up to the guy, Elie tries to see if he's all right but he bounces up and
beckons them on. You'll go though a small corridor where a man asks if you're
new students and directs you to the school which is straight north from this
point. Walk a little further and you'll be on the map.

Now that random battles may take place, we will go into the battle options. When
a battle starts two commands appear, 'fight' on the right and 'run' on the left.
Running ends the fight if you're successful but gives you no exp. Choosing the
fight option will initiate the battle options.

The leftmost option is normal attack. The character will run up and hit the
monster. There is no movement here so you will always reach the chosen target.

The bottommost option is run. This is different as it only makes that character
leave the battlefield. This is useful in the sense that should the character be
successful there are fewer people to divide the exp points gained with, thus
allowing you to concentrate on particular characters. Especially weaker ones.

The topmost option is defend. This increases the chance of avioding any attacks
for one round. It is worth noting that spells can also be avoided. You may move
this character to defend at any particular spot in the battlefield. This is
useful when the monsters you are fighting have area specific spells like Senia's
6 MP lightning bolt. The greatest power of the defend option is that it recovers
your MP!! The amount is higher as you level up.

The center option is magic. This will bring up a screen of all the spells the
character knows. This option is invalid when a character does not know any
spells. Elie's magic option is blank.
The rightmost option is listed as ???. This is not a typo error but merely a
small secret which the game will explain in the later chapters. Do not worry
about this at the moment, you'll use it when the time comes.

Now that you know your way on the battlefield, level up fightning is never a
useless thing. However, most of your level upping will occur as the storyline
progresses so it isn't absolutely necessary. Though I will admit that getting up
to level 10 in chapter 1 makes the game much easier. Anyhow, head up as you were
directed by that man and you should see a few buildings to your right
eventually. This is your school. Go in and no more fighting will occur.

Here I will leave it to you to explore around as that is one of the most fun
things about RPGs. So I will limit myself to general tips. Firstly, I recommend
that you see the principal first. To reach his home, go straight across the
bridge and into the first house. You should see a blue haired woman to the right
if you're in the right house. Don't talk to her yet, instead go up the stairs
and talk to the principal. He will tell you that to learn anything in this
school, you must find a teacher to apprentice
yourself to. Now go downstairs and talk to the blue haired woman and she'll heal
you. This is where to go if you're injured. Now after seeing the girl bang
herself on the wall. You are free to explore.

As you explore, keep an eye out for the teachers of the various divisions. The
school of martial magic, you'll know it when you see all the swords, basically
is seriously chauvinistic. The teacher there says that girls aren't cut out for
his school and that he is looking for 'real men'. This annoys Senia and between
her and Lena they convince him to give you a trial. He sends you to his cave of
trial where you will get your butt kicked. Do not worry, there's no way you can
win here. Instead of seeing 'Game Over' or the Japanese equivelent you'll find
yourself back in the dojo where the
teacher says that he will not accpet you as his students.

The school of singing magic, you'll recognise it by the choral singing in the
background, requires one to have the ability to direct magic with ones voice.
Put simply, you must be able to sing. She tests you by asking you to sing a
short melody. Elie sings okay but Lena sings horribly. She insists that it was
an exception and tries again. However nothing changes. When the teacher tells
her to look for another school, she runs out of the building. Follow her and
you'll see her venting her frustration on a
tree.

The library is where the librarian is. He asks you to help him retrieve a book
on the second floor but I still haven't found any significance of this.
Whatever, after finding the book and its illuision, go to the librarian who will
tell you that his students have to read books from morning to night. Elie seems
enthusiestic but she is quickly silenced by Lena and Senia who do not like doing
that.


There is a chemist who will show you a little about chemistry. The end result is
that the mixture explodes consistantly and Lena is not impressed at all by this
branch of magic. Therefore, you decline to be students of this teacher.

The inventor will show you his latest invention, a flying machine. However, this
just bombs out. Once again you fail to be impressed with this branch of magic
and leave.

Now these are the teachers of the magic school and along with the healer and
principal, they make up the important people in the Magic School. You should
talk to them all. After which you should speak to everybody. The gist of the
conversation is that there is something mysterious to both the east and the
west.

Should you go to the pond, speak to the leader of the boys twice and they will
run off. They tell you that if they do not find a teacher they will be expelled.
As will you. That is why they are in such a hurry all the time.

Now that you have explored the school throughly, you can get your first spell.
Remember that some people said that there was something mystertious to the east?
Well they also mention that the Talent Scout stays somethere there too. Should
you visit him after speaking to everybody, he will give Elie her first spell.
For those who can't find his home, here is a short guide to his home.

Exit the school by heading right. Once outside the school, head south and cross
a bridge. Once you have crossed the bridge, head right until you see another
bridge. Go up this bridge and you should see another bridge to your right. This
is where his house is.

The spell he gives Elie is 'Flame Explosion' and will damage a single character.
Like all spells, its power increases as you level up. Should you want to do some
level up fighting and exploring on your own, please note that there are areas
which are meant for later chapters of the game. Going there will mean fighting
monsters which can decimate your party with a single hit and only take 1 point
of damage. Remember these areas and come back later when you're supposed to. The
best place I've found to level up is the forest to the south of the school. Go
out of the school to the right, down the bridge and head right till you see a
very green section to the south. Go inside and you'll
find a 'dungeon'. The enemies here are not too tough and you'll be able to fight
em off and level up easily enough. Level 10 is a good number but as I said
before this is not necessary unless you want the game to be easier later or you
just want to get a 'feel' of the battle system. Or like me, you don't have the
faintest idea what to do!!

After getting Elie's spell, go back to the school and go the the house to the
far left and up. You should meet the three boys who say that they are going to
the west to look for a teacher based on rumours that a teacher is somewhere
there. After talking to them you must speak to the two other people in that
house then to the healer. After that follow them back to where you originally
came from, the place where you went across the bridge to the island. Due south
from the west exit of the school.

You should see the boys talking a bit, saying that they couldn't find anyone
then leave when you talk to them. Go and search the bottom of this area. You'll
see that there is a cave which you can go to. (If you didn't talk to all the
people in the house and the healer, the cave is blocked). Enter the cave and
search for the teacher. Eventually you'll find him and he says that he'll meet
you back at the school. He displays an astonishingly bad memory and poor sense
of direction during your conversation with him. Now return to the school.

Go into the house far left and up. In short the first house you see when coming
in from the west. This is where you can find your teacher in the future. He has
met the boys and they're already his students. Apparently the teacher has
forgotten who you are!! After explaining a bit and some angry comments by Senia
and Lena in responce to the boys trying to knock them out of getting a teacher,
he finally accepts both you and the boys as his students. I believe this is why
Lena faints.

Chapter 2:

This chapter begins with the girls walking around the school when they see
someone flying up in the sky. A movie then starts where Elie flies up and says
hello. Unfortunately, the visitor is a witch and a villainess at that too.
Therefore she lacks good manners and a friendly attitude. She sends Elie
crashing into the ground before disappearing. The movie ends and Lena heals Elie
but she's still seeing stars. Go into the healer's home and get healed one more
time.

After that go and talk to the chemist who will tell you that falling from the
sky can be used as an attack if you spin enough. She tires to spin Elie but the
attempt doesn't work. She then recommends that Elie ask her teacher if he can
use her falling experience to learn a new spell. You see, when Elie was falling,
she realised that if he could harness this energy she could use it in a better
fashion. Like maybe on some annoying monsters.

Now go and speak to your teacher. If you haven't spoken to the chemist yet, you
cannot meet your teacher. Someone will say that he's busy or preparing a lesson
or something. Anyhow, when you talk to your teacher, you'll ask him if he can
help you with that flying sky diver spell. He says he'll check his books.

Now a movie begins where your teacher flips open one of his spell books. He is
stumbling over the words which describe the proceedure which is necessary to
learn the spell. Apparently magical symbols need to be drawn on the caster's
body. You can't do that while wearing clothes you see. Elie naively and
enthuestically strips off her clothing to the surprise of everyone in the room.
(Stop staring at the screen!!!). As the teacher draws the symbols Elie bursts
out laughing, saying that it is ticklish. Lena and Senia just sigh.

After the movie, you learn Elie's second spell called 'sky diver'. This works on
a single opponent and takes 10 MP. Lena will notice the boys peeking through the
window and mention this to Senia. The two girls will then go out and confront
the boys. After some heated conversation, Senia socks it to them with a few
lightning punches. The boys go off, calling cheeky things as they leave.

At this point go to the chemist's home. She should NOT be there. If she is, go
and talk around in the library and the other houses a bit. When you find the
chemist missing, the people there tell you that she has gone to the forest to
gather herbs. By the way, on the section of plants in the right side of the
chemist's home. There is a special snapping plant that will only be there for
this chapter. Search it and it will bite Lena's nose!!

Now feel free to stop by the library where you see that everyone is there for
some reason or other. Even the boys! If you go to the school of martial magic
you will hear the teacher there saying that all his students have disappeared to
the library. I dunno why they're all there. Maybe they're having a cheap sale on
books?

Anyhow, head to the forest to look for the chemist. It's due south from the east
exit of the school. Go down the bridge and look for that weird patch of thick
green. That's it. Go in and explore, eventually you'll find the chemist
somewhere to the south. Before she can ay anything, a flying monster jumps her.
This is the mini-boss but you can beat it without too much trouble. After which,
the chemist will thank you and carry on her search for herbs. Go back to school.

At this point, go to the library and you'll find that everyone has suddenly
disappeared. Senia mentions that she has a bad feeling about this and you'll
search upstairs. There you find that the witch has placed the librarian under a
spell by evesdropping their conversation. Senia demands that you leave and
report to the principal immediately.

When you try to leave the library, the witch will confront you just outside.
Elie tries to take her on again but she gets knocked into a tree. The witch then
disappeares. The screen moves to the healer's home where the healer heals Elie
again. At this point, the principal walks in and Lena blabs to him about what
she saw. She is not believed and the librarian walks up and denies it. Annoyed,
you leave the house.

Outside, Lena suggests that the chemist might be able to reverse the effects of
the spell with a potion. You agree that this is a good idea and decide to go to
the forest again. Before leaving for the forest though, talking to the healer
again will give Lena a 'Heal all' spell for one character. It takes up 12 MP.

Once you go through the forest again, you'll see both the chemist and the talent
scout. The talent scout will say something and the chemist will rush back to
prepare the potion. Talk to the Talent Scout and you will get a 'sonic boom'
spell for Lena that takes 3 MP.

Head back to school and go to the chemist's home. Talk to her and she'll give
you the potion. At this point, someone will rush in and say that the school is
under attack. Leave the house and you'll find the attackers outside the healer's
home. The boys are there too but don't seem to be doing anything productive. If
you need to heal, go to the school of martial magic where everyone seems to be
hiding in. Some help!! The healer will heal you. Oh, and this is quite funny.
Talk to the fighting teacher and he'll beat up a few of his students who are
panicking!!

Talk to the boys and Lena will punch them around. Maybe she's paying them back
for being
generally annoying throughout the game?? After which walk up to the monster and
you'll fight it. This boss is basically three mini-bosses. You should be able to
take them easily enough. Once you finish, go in and you'll see the librarian
fighting with the principal. The principal upon noticing you will ask you to run
and the librarian will counter that you won't be able to escape.

Lena will ask Senia to use the potion and she throws it into his mouth!!! He is
rendered unconscious by the potion (or maybe by the impact!!) and the witch
shows up and paralyses you. After some conversation with the principal she runs
away. Elie flies in pursuit.

The screen cuts to the beach where Elie and the witch are locked in aerial
combat. Elie seems to be doing better too!! Just when it looks like her luck ran
out, the talent scout comes in to lend a spell. Then a movie begins, showing the
villian's castle rising from the depths of the water. After some conversation,
the witch and the villian decide to work together and they knock Elie into the
sea for good measure!!

The movie ends and the talent scout pulls Elie to shore. Lena and Senia rush up
to see if she's okay and the chapter ends here.

Chapter 3:

The chapter begins in the classroom. At this point there is no objective you
have to acomplish. Take a walk around the school and talk to the librarian and
the school of martial magic. The teacher there will give Senia a 'rushing combo'
spell that takes 10 MP. After getting the spell go to the back of the school and
find someone there, there will be a confrontation between him and the teacher.
After which take a trip to the talent scout, who will teacher Lena a Boost Def
and Magic Def spell which
takes 12 MP. He will talk to you for a bit then head back to school.

Now go to the librarian and he should give Elie a 'flame geyser' spell which
takes 8 MP. If you can't get it talk around a bit then try again. After that go
to the chemist's and she will give Senia something that will make her generate
electricity, shocking herself. After that go to the classroom and Senia will
mention having the idea for a new spell. Lena backs away while Senia experiments
but Elie does not. A burst of electricity surrounds Senia and knocks Elie out.
Lena and Senia argue a bit on who's fault it was before Lena heals Elie. The
result of this is Senia learns a 'lightning smash' spell. Takes 12 MP.

Now your teacher will come in and gather his students together. He tells you
that there are three things under the house that he wants you to find for
examination. It so happens that the area underneath the house is full of
monsters but he says this is a good training experiance for your magic. The
three things are a pink rock, a green weed and some special water. The boys head
in first and then you follow. A few things you shoudl note first however is that
you should heal before going in as you cannot come back out unless you find one
of the three items which happens to usually be the
rock first. So heal up, save, then go in.

I'll leave you to explore again but this needs mentioning. There is a door above
the main entrence that is locked. It talks too!! To get past it, you have to
first talk to it, then go down to a man who will tell you how to open it. For
ease of writing, I will call him the caretaker. After talking to the caretaker,
go back and talk to the door, it will open.

You will find three rocks in your travels. This is the rock you seek!! But if
you look in your inventory you'll see that it isn't all pink. It needs a bit of
purification. Go to the caretaker and he'll purify it for you. Now that you've
found one of the three items, you can exit the dungeon to heal. Even better, go
to the singing teacher and talk repeatedly, Lena will ask to be allowed to sit
for the singing test again. When she flunks again, she learns a new spell called
boost!! It takes 12 MP and raises attack and men. Must be her bad singing
stimulates anger which in turn increases your attacking power!!

Go back to the dungeon and you shoudl meet the boys in your travels, they seem
to be having problems with a monster but its none of your buisness so carry on.
You will then meet a bookshelf when you try and leave the area, Elie mentions
that maybe the special water is behind the bookshelf. Lena tries to move the
bookshelf by herself and finally succeeds. Actually the bookshelf is 'moved' for
good but there isn't anything behind it.

Go down a level and you will eventually find the green weed. Lena will happily
toss it up and down before the boys sneak up, knock her out and steal the weed!!
Senia gets really angry and goes off in pursuit while Elie tends to Lena. Guide
Senia to the boys and watch her blast them away, it's also worth nothing the the
boys desert their leader when they realise that they're not going to be able to
beat Senia. She even blows a hole through the wall opening up the way to the
lower levels. Lena and Elie will catch up with her and at Elie's suggestion,
Lena will heal the boys' leader. The boys' leader seeing he's outnumbered runs
back up.

I sincerely recommend that you go back up to heal. Furthermore, taking the weed
to the chemist will give you an 'exploding tree' spell for Lena. So you had
better go up. After coming back here, carry on and explore. You may notice that
with every lightning bolt spell Senia casts in the new area, there is a rumbling
noise combined with some conversation. Basically, there roofs rumbling and the
girls are worried that Senia's lightning blots are the cause. They're afraid
that she'll bring the house down!!

Carry on until you see the water pond. Here is where to boss is, after taking
the water a flying head challenges you. He has about 1200+ HP and is extremely
vulnerable to Senia's lightning smash!! Take him out and you'll see a movie
where the house really comes down. The teacher isn't happy and demands an
explanation, Lena pushes Senia up and says that she'll explain it, here are the
items for examination and have a nice day!! She then runs off with Elie and
leaves Senia to tke the blame. The chapter ends with Senia complaining that it
isn't fair!!!

Chapter 4:

Chapter starts in the domitory. As your house is now dust, you and the boys need
a place to stay. This is it. Look around the place and you'll find the boys on
the first floor to the south-east. You can't exit until you see your room. Go
upstaris and a girl will talk to you. Apparently, the rooms here are all for two
people only. So someone in your party has to move out and Senia moves out. Go
take a look at your room and some recollections of the times spent in the old
house will come to Lena and Elie.

Your recollections down memory lane are interrupted by someone coming to tell
you that Blade is looking for you. Go downstairs and meet him. You will not get
Senia for this chapter. If you talk to the cook, Lena will ask if there is
anyway to squeeze three people in a room but she says that there isn't any way.

Blade introduces himelf in a movie and tells you to meet him in the school of
martial arts. Before going there, you may want to take a look at the inventor's
home where Elie will blow up one of his inventions!! And also at the School of
Singing Magic where you can play the harp for the first time!! Actually Lena
plays it and doesn't it sound *awful*.

When you've finished walking around, go to the school of martial magic and
Blade's teacher will show you a form of magic called 'combination' or 'team-up'
magic. This type of magic is done by two caster combining their magics to
further their spells power to levels which would not be possible should the
spells be done either individually or consecuetively. Those who play arcade
games, think of this as something like the team up supers in Capcom's VS. games.

Blade's teacher wants Elie to carry him up and drop him and great speed. However
she keeps missing, the first time she complains that he is too heavy. The second
time she just mistimes it. Blade's teacher gives up and just tells her to keep
practicing, then goes back into the school. At this point, Blade and Lena get
into a small argument over male and female equality. Blade then walks away.

You will find Blade outside your new home. Talk to him and he will tell you that
his teacher is looking for you in the cave of trial. When you go into the cave
however, Blade locks you in. He says that he is going to prove that he is
stronger than you. He enters the cave as well and locks the door behind him.
Nobody is getting out it seems. And in case you haven't figuered it out, Blade
was lying the whole time about his teacher wanting to see you.

Being a macho idiot, he runs in ahead of you. Chase after him and you should see
him getting his butt kicked by a monster. He finally beats it and falls the to
ground unconscious, Lena will heal him. Far from being grateful he runs off
again. Repeat the chase and heal process and by the end of the first level,
Blade will realise that he needs your help and will join you.

Blade is powerful and has very offensive spels. Firstly his downward thrust
which is sort of like a magic slash, a hail storm which covers the entire
battlefield and a power up attack spell which increases the damage he does. He
also has the single strongest normal attack among you. After all he is armed
with a sword wheras all you do is kick.

This cave of trial is a particularily long and annoying dungeon. Full of dead
ends and plenty of enemies. There really is no sure walkthru for a dungeon so
I'll limit myself to general tips and help on important sections.

Firstly, look for the healing statues. There is usually one every level.
However, searching for them can be a pain. If you are short of magic, defend.
Your MPs will recover. Above all, try not to get lost.

The first main section of this cave is a red dragon's cave. Well actually just a
small cavern. Here Blade says that this is a test of the 'true man' and that
they have to defeat the dragon to prove themselves. The girls aren't that
interested in proving themsleves to be 'true men' but the dragon attacks first
so you fight him. Defeat him and carry on.

Afterwards, you should see small conversations as the party meets small
gorillas. The gorillas aren't that storng, they just have a long life. This is
basically Elie giving Blade the 'Men and women are equal' arguement and trying
to shove it down his throat.

Eventually you will meet a HUGE gorilla. This is the boss of the cav of trial.
It guards the way out so you have to beat it. Unlike the previous gorillas, it
does not immediately attack you. To fight it, you have to touch it. It is
recommended that you save here as this fight is tricky. Here is a spoiler space
in case you want to take him on yourself

Your attacks and spells do less than 10+ damage and are generally pathetic. His
attacks do plenty of damage. He has a power up attack spell that lets him do
over 100+ damage for a single hit!! You do not have the ability to beat him and
it is recommended that you defend and move your party to various parts of the
battlefield so that you won't be hit by a area attack. After a few rounds, the
battle will stop and the game will exit back to the map mode.

Elie comments that this opponent is very strong and Blade gets the idea to do
the combination spell that his teacher showed them. You have just learned Blade
and Elie's first combination spell. 'Sword Dive Bomb'!!

The games goes back into the battle mode and you will realise that the rightmost
option is now highlighted. The previously '???' is relaced by the kranji for
combination spell. Click on this and you will see the spell cost as 11MP this is
to both Blade and Elie. Use this spell to finish the gorilla off easily and get
Lena to either heal you or boost you.

After wiping the floor with him, continue for a short while and you should
appear at the school of martial magic. Blade's teacher is impressed with you and
takes you outside to show it to you again. Unfortunately, Elie drops him again.
Lena makes a naughty comment here about only people with strong feelings for
each other can do combination magic. She suggests to Blade's teacher that
perhaps the chemist whould be better suited to carry him. The chapter ends with
Blade's teacher blowing his top!!

Chapter 5:

Please wait. Chapter 5 has been taken down temporarily for explanation adding
reasons. If I cannot find any explanations, this will come back up without them.
Just a to-do list to win the chapter. If anyone knows the plot for Chapter 5
please tell me so that I can put it up. I'll credit you for it.
