END OF SCENARIO 3


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the brown maps good for?
A: The maps are required before you are allowed in any tombs. There is one map
in each chapter,
and a different map is needed for each tomb.

Q: Hey, how do unlock these chests?
A: You don't. You have to let the thieves pick the locks then attack them to
extract the items.

Q: The thief is carrying three important items and I'm afraid if I attack him,
I'll kill him and only
get one of the items. What do I do?
A: Have your weakest member go after the thieves if possible. This way, every
time you attack
him, he'll drop a different item and you won't have to worry about killing him
and ending the
fight.

Q: Why can't I get back inside the tomb?
A: If the tomb is opened up, you must loot the place then and there. If you go
back to town and
save the game, when you return, the tomb will be sealed.

Q: Why can't I promote my characters?
A: You can. You just have to wait until after battle 20 when Gracia evolves.
Then you will be
able to promote characters when they reach level 20.

Q: Does that mean I can promote characters from discs 1 and 2 that have already
been promoted?
A: Yes, if they are at level 20 and have been promoted in Scenario 1 or 2.

Q: Are these super moves my characters are doing just random?
A: It appears so, however, the more supers each character learns and the higher
their level, the
more frequent they seem to be.

Q: I don't understand how these Scenarios are "linked" if they are separate
games on separate
discs. Can you please explain?
A: The discs are "linked" through saved games. Meaning if you complete Scenario
1, then save
your game, you will have a save on your Saturn that says "COMPLETE". Now, if you
want to
play Scenario 2, there are two ways to do this. The first is simple: just buy
Scenario 2 and play it.
The second way: when you start your game in Scenario 2, it will ask you if you
want to use a
saved game from Scenario 1. Say YES and then it will let you choose your
"COMPLETE" save
to begin a new game.

Q: What am I carrying around all these rocks for?
A: The rocks are mithril, and they are used to make powerful weapons. Take them
to a
blacksmith and for a fee, he'll make them into good stuff. The larger chunks can
be made into
weapons, while the smaller pieces can be formed into rings and bracelets.

Q: What is this black cube for?
A: It's a dark cube. Like mithril, it can be used to make weapons, but anything
made with a dark
cube will be cursed and unable to be used properly as a weapon in battle. You
can, however, USE
some of the dark items in battle instead of equipping them, just like a spell.
Keep in mind that
some items used in battle have a tendency to break.

Q: What is the hero's name?
A: Julian.

Q: What is the hero's name in Scenario 1?
A: Sinbios.

Q: What is the hero's name in Scenario 2?
A: Medion.

Q: Why don't I (the leader of the shining force) ever say anything?
A: Laryngitis? If you play Scenario 1 or 2, you will get to see Julian talk a
whole lot.

Q: What are the apron and the purple underwear good for?
A: Playing dress-up. Seriously, even though they won't appear to change your
stats, several
people have told me that these items do indeed help.

Q: Isn't there a hidden penguin and other characters available if I played discs
1 and 2?
A: Yes, and all that information will be in the next version of this FAQ.
