 The Battle System                                             [ PART 1-d-2 ]
  \============/

Sword & Sorcery features a very interesting twist in it's battle system. It's
not exactly a turn-based RPG, and not exactly a Strategy RPG. It's a mixture
of the two, a hybrid to say. Each character attacks in his own turn, which is
determined by his speed. I will explain shortly.

  .___________________.
  |                   |
  |  GETTING STARTED  |
  |___________________|

In order to strategically win a battle, your characters need to take
advantage of the terrain they are fighting on, in conjuction with their
placing and formation. You can hide behind obstacles to avoid damage, but they
will also prevent you from attacking the enemy. Some magic can pass through
obstacles, so you should take that into consideration.

Fighting is done in turns. Based on your character's speed, the game will
decide who begins first. When it's your turn, you can move your character to
a desired spot on the map. You are only limited to the first two rows of
blocks and not the whole map. This is a big difference over the other Strategy
RPGs. After you move your character you have the choice of either attacking
the enemy, defending (and thus ending your turn), using an item or magic. Once
you have made your decision, your character's turn is over, and the next one
makes a move.

  .___________________.
  |                   |
  |  THE BATTLE FIELD |
  |___________________|

You are always fighting in a 9x9 battle field. Your characters are placed on
one end of the field, and the enemies on the other. Furthermore, you can only
move your characters in the first 2 rows. Normal attacks are done vertically
(or in columns if you prefer). Items and Magic have varied range of effect, so
you should remember that you are never actually safe from enemy fire.

Even though the games opts for an isometric view of the battlefield, I will
use, for coherency, a top down view to create my sample maps. Here is what a
typical battle field looks like.

Your units can be placed on the first two rows. The same applies to the
enemy units, as shown below. Notice the similarity to a chess board.

Your characters can only attack in a straight line. If an obstacle hinders
their path, they will first have to destroy it. If an enemy is on a different
collumn than your character, then the attack path that you will follow will be
that of the straight line that links your character with your enemy. Some
obstacles cannot be broken (pits, lakes, rivers, huge rocks). You cannot place
your character on top of an obstacle. You first need to destroy it.

Here is a brief example.

  | BATTLE TACTICS    |
  |___________________|

In order to strategically win battles, you need to place your characters in
the correct formation, according to each battle field and enemy. Rusion is
very weak, and you will need to protect her at all costs since she is the only
character in your team who can cast magic. I suggest placing her behind a
stronger character, or behind some object. Also try to take advantage of the
possibility to attack an enemy diagonally. Some enemies are smarter than
others and will also use this tactic to their advantage.

I will give a brief example of how you should place your characters in
formation, after taking into consideration the enemies' formation.

  |   |   |   | ² | '-------| |   |   |  Elgoat is still left open, but we
  |___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|  need him to be so.

Off course, in the above example, we could simply place Rusion behind
Elgoat. But I wanted to show you a detailed example of how you can avoid
certain attacks by placing your characters behind obstacles. You will be able
to develop certain strategies, but I will also provide you with suggested
formation in certain boss battles.

  /============\
 Strategy & Magic                                              [ PART 1-d-3 ]
  \============/

In Sword & Sorcery, only Rusion is able to use magic. All the other heroes
can only use items, which resemble the effects of magic. Magic has different
uses inside and outside of the battle. Be sure to check what each magic does
by looking in PART 4.

You should bear in mind that magic does not work as a normal attack. The
"straight" line system will not work with magic. Each magic will take effect
on the battle field in a different way. So some magic will only affect one
character, while another a group of characters. The most common magic that you
will use in the early parts of the game will be Fire and Haste magic. Other
magic work in different ways, so be sure to check each and every one of them!

Here you can see how Fire and Speed Up work in detail.

FIRE)

Fire is pretty much similar to a normal attack. It can only fire in a
straight line, and will stop at obstacles. So in this example, Rusion can't
actually damage the enemy, since her fireball will stop at the object in
front of her.

  |   |   |   | | |   |   |   |   |   |  enemy, she would have to be in a

SPEED UP)

Speed Up is an AREA magic. That means that it can affect many units at once.
You can widen the affected area by using more MP. More on this strategy later.
You can use Speed Up to increase your character's speed. It will not affect
the enemy units. The magic will only affect the units between the vertical
lines, on the columns. Slumber works in the same way.

  |___|___|___||__|__||___|___|___|___|  Rusion in this cased chose to cast
  |   |   |   ||  |O²||   |   |   |   |  the SPEED UP spell with 16MP which
  |___|___|___||__|__||___|___|___|___|  widened the effect, so that Elgoat
  |   |   |   ||O'|  ||   |   |   |   |  could benefit from it as well.
  |___|___|___||<_|_>||___|___|___|___|  Enemies were not though.

In this example, if Rusion decided to spend less MP, she would only be able
to cast the spell on her column. So Elgoat would not have been affected.

Magic is Rusion's advantage. You can select how "strong" the effect of the
magic will be, by choosing how much MP to spare. Your common options will be
8, 16, 24, 32 and 40 Magic Points. So you can basically select the strength
of your magic by choosing how much MP you should consume. Items use up a set
amount of MP, and can be used by all characters, and not just Rusion.

 Advanced Techniques                                           [ PART 1-d-4 ]
  \============/

When you have learned the basic premises of the battle system, you can try
to master certain advanced techniques. For example, you may take advantage of
the different attack range each weapon category offers. You will be able to
find what weapons exist in each category, if you refer to PART 4. Here I will
make a brief description of each weapon category, and what changes when you
use such a weapon in a battle.

===========SWORD & LONG SWORD=================================================
Swords are the most common weapon in an RPG. They are reliable and usually
quite strong. They allow you to attack one square, as I have already explained
in detail before. Long Swords have the same use as common Swords but are black
in colour in the Item/Inventory screen. Also Long Swords tend to be stronger.
==============================================================================

===========HAMMER=============================================================
Hammers are very heavy and strong weapons. They usually have big SMASH
ratings. In battle they work exactly like Swords.
==============================================================================

===========BATTLE AXE=========================================================
A Battle Axe can be very powerful. It's good to cut down trees, as it has big
SMASH ratings. In battle it works exactly like a Sword.
==============================================================================

===========SPEAR==============================================================
Spears are usually a bit weaker than swords. But their advantage in battle
can be very interesting. Spears attack not only the square you are selecting,
but also the space behind it. This can be very useful as you can hit two
enemies with a single attack. Here is an example.

==============================================================================

After you watch the introductory FMV and the Anime FMV that follows, you will
be transported to the game's Start Screen. Press Start, and after some loading
you will enter the game's Load/New Game Screen.

  /============\
Load/New Game Screen
  \============/

____LOAD/NEW GAME SCREEN________________________________________________.
|01#| LOAD FILE                 (LOAD FILE 1, 2, 3, 4)                   |

\___|____________________________________________________________________/

Whenever I make a visual representation of this game's menus, I will be
translating each line in the order you see it on your screen. So, for example,
in this case, 1ST OPTION is LOAD FILE and 2ND OPTION is NEW GAME. If selecting
an option brings up another menu, I will list it individually. If selecting an
option brings up a confirmation or a selection screen, I will put it's
translation in brackets "(", ")". Please remember this when you read any
translations of the game's menus in this guide.

===========LOAD FILE==========================================================
Use this option to load a previously saved game. Games can only be
saved on the system's memory. You can have up to 4 save files, which will need
129 blocks on your system's memory, regardless of how many you have used.

When you select a file, you will be presented with the Team's Level and Total
Game Time.
==============================================================================

===========NEW GAME===========================================================
Use this option to start a new game in Sword And Sorcery.

===========SLEEP==============================================================
Use this while in the field to sleep. You will wake up in the dawn, and your
characters will completely restore their HP but not their MP.
==============================================================================

===========SAVE GAME==========================================================
Save your current position in the game. Choose one of the 4 slots to save.
==============================================================================

===========ITEMS LIST=========================================================
This will open your full list of items. You can use healing items to restore
HP or MP to your team, and check your inventory in general. You cannot use in
the field certain items that are meant to be used in battle.
==============================================================================

===========EQUIP MENU=========================================================
Use this menu to equip your characters with any equipment found in your
inventory. First choose the character you want to equip, and his equipment
screen will appear. Here you can inspect and change it as you wish. Note that
if you don't have a second equipment item in the category you are viewing, you
won't be able to unequip the existing item. For example, if you do not have
another sword in your item list, you won't be able to unequip the currently
equiped sword. If an equipment item displays an arrow going up (^), then your
character will benefit from equipping it. But if it displays an arrow going
down (v), then it means that the current equipment is better.

 If you have a usuable equipment item for this character, a list will open
where you can choose which item to equip. There are some numbers next to each
equipment item. You can refer to PART 4 for more information, but they
generally translate as:

--ARMS------> Offensive equipment items such as swords, spears, etc.
The numbers in their description refer to ATTACK and SMASH STRENGTH.

--PROTECTOR-> Defensive equipment items such as boots, armor, etc.
The number in their description refer to DEFENSE.
==============================================================================

===========MAGIC LIST=========================================================
This will open your full list of magic. You can use healing magic to restore
HP or MP or cure diseases. You cannot use offensive magic outside of the
battle field.
==============================================================================

===========STATUS SCREEN======================================================
From here, you can choose a character, and then review his or her Status

===========FORMATION SCREEN===================================================
From here you can change your basic formation, so that you characters begin
with it in each battle. Try creating a formation that suits your fighting
style and your characters abilities, but you are always likely to change this
formation according to what each battle needs.
==============================================================================

===========CAMERA MODE========================================================
You can choose your basic camera mode. NORMAL is the best, and AUTO is also
good too. The other three modes (VR 1, VR 2 and CLOSE-UP) are very bad though.
==============================================================================

===========SOUND OPTIONS======================================================
Here you can turn the Sound Effects on or off, choose whether you want to
hear Voice Acting or not, and finally choose between Normal, Loud or Mute game
music.
==============================================================================

===========ATTACK=============================================================
Use this option to attempt a physical attack on the enemy you choose.

===========DEFEND=============================================================
This option will end your character's turn and place him in defensive stance.
Useful if you want to move your character to a certain position, without
attack an enemy or obstacle.
==============================================================================

===========MAGIC==============================================================
This will open a list of Rusion's magic. After you select the magic of
your choice, you then have to select the move's infliction. The stronger the
move, the more powerful it will be, but also it will consume more MP.

Some magic will affect not only one character, but an area. Use these kind of
magic to your advantage. Magic is divided in 3 categories. Offensive,
Defensive and Supportive. Offensive magic attacks your enemies. Defensive
magic helps your team, by improving your stats, or raising your HP and MP.
Supportive magic includes all the other magic that supports you in any way,
for example, by helping you escape, or affecting your enemies in a non
offensive way.

For your reference, the magic that Rusion possess in the beggining of the
game is:

You can refer to the Magic Section, for more information on what each magic
move does.
==============================================================================

===========ITEM LIST==========================================================
This will open a list of all the items owned by your team. You can use
the item's icon and description to help you find what it does. The number on
the right shows how many same items are in your possesion. In battle you can
not only use items to replenish your HP and MP, but also to cure you from
certain diseases and attack the enemies.

VIAL: These are potions or drinkable items. Use these to add an ability to a
character, cure them from status changes, or replenish their HP and MP.

BOOTS: These are equipment items for your characters' feet.
==============================================================================

===========EQUIPMENT==========================================================
This will open a list of all the equipped items on your current
character. You many equip or unequip as you you find fit.

You will have two options upon selecting EQUIPMENT. I have yet to figure what
the first option does, but I am assuming that it is Auto Equip. I will find it
out and update accordingly.

____EQUIPMENT MENU______________________________________________________.
|#01| AUTO EQUIP (???)                                                   |

|   |                                                                    |
\___|____________________________________________________________________/

==============================================================================

===========ESCAPE=============================================================
Use this option to attempt an escape. This will not work on some occasions,
or in Boss battles. If you find it difficult to escape from a hard battle,
you can also escape with magic.
==============================================================================

===========SPECIAL MOVES======================================================
Some characters have special moves. Here you will find a brief description of
each special move.

EARTHQUAKE: This move is exclusive to MIMINAGA, and it's a useless move to be
honest. Use this to attack all the characters on screen and inflict tiny
damage on them. Use this only if you are dealing with very weak enemies in
large numbers, or if you have already weakened enough for such a weak move to
defeat them.

==============================================================================
[ CHAPTER 1-/ ]          *NEW HEROES EMERGE*                   [ CHAPTER 1-/ ]
==============================================================================

I tried to minimise the SPOILERS in the making of this Guide. I will only be
revealing crucial information, that you absolutely need to know to pass
through a section of the game. If you wish to read the game's story, refer to
PART 1.

________CHAPTER 1-a_________.
|                            |
|      PINAKOTEIK            |
|_                          _|
 \========================/

You begin the game after a lengthy discussion between Rusion and Elgoat. The
two will make your beggining team. You should explore the PINAKOTEIK Tower to
understand the basics of exploring in the game. I suggest you use the initial
camera (press X to set it automatically), as the others are simply bad. You
start in the second floor of the tower.

You can leave the tower by heading to the lower floor and moving toward the
exit. Before you leave, ensure that you have got all the available items,
namely the treasure in upper floor, and the three treasures in the eastern
room of the first floor. There is another treasure on the western room, but
you are not able to break through the crates yet.

Before you set out, remember to equip Rusion with the Boots that you have
found. She is the weakest character in the game, and she is going to need all
the help that she can get. Once you are outside, in the world map, you can
save your game. Try to save often, as some fights are harder than others, and
you don't want to end up dying and then having to re-explore whole areas.

________CHAPTER 1-b_________.
|                            |
|      COLONY                |
|_                          _|
 \========================/

Head South and then East. Soon you will find a river. Go North now. You will
end up in COLONY, a very small village. Here you can upgrade your equipment
and I actually suggest that you do so. To your left is the Items Store, where
you should purchase Boots #2 (+2, 100G). For more info on how to use
the stores and what your purchases are, check both PART 4, and this special
section that follows below:

____SHOPS_______________________________________________________________.
|#01| BUY                       (OK, Cancel)                             |
|#02| SELL                      (OK, Cancel)                             |
|#03| EXIT                                                               |
|   |                                                                    |
| i | ^,v on your "+" (D-pad) selects quantity                           |
|   |                                                                    |
\___|____________________________________________________________________/

Once you have purchased the Boots #2, equip them to Rusion. You can also sell
her old Boots also here. Now leave the Item Store and head to your right, and
to the Weapon Store. Here you should purchase the Sword #2 (+28, 2, 200G) then
equip it to Elgoat. Sell his old sword. Now, if you have 110G left, which you
should, buy the Spear #1 (+24, 2, 110G) and equip it to Rusion. Sell her old
sword too. Leave the Weapon Store. If you have lost HP or MP, you can use the
Inn to get some rest. It's the large building to the North. Here is a small
special section explaining how Inns work:

____INNS________________________________________________________________.
|#01| SLEEP                     (OK, Cancel)                             |
|   |                                                                    |
| i |  The Inn keeper will tell you how much 1 night costs.              |
|   | In this Inn, it will be 1 night, 10G (Gold).                       |
|   | prices vary from Inn to Inn.                                       |
|   |                                                                    |
\___|____________________________________________________________________/

Once you have awaken, head out of the Inn and leave COLONY. Start wandering
around and fighting some battles, while staying near COLONY, until your
characters reach LV3. If you wonder what you earn when a battle ends, refer to
this special section:

____BATTLE OUTCOME______________________________________________________.
|#01| RETURN TO FIELD           (OK)                                     |
|   |                                                                    |
| i |  The first number will be the EXPERIENCE POINTS gained.            |
|   | The second number will be the G (Gold) earned.                     |
|   | If you have earned any item(s), they will be listed below the      |
|   | EXP/G line.                                                        |
\___|____________________________________________________________________/

Remember that when you become weary, you should return to the Inn to get
some sleep. Alternatively you can use the Sleep option from the menu, but this
will not restore your character's MP. When you reach LV3 to all your
characters, save just outside of COLONY.

________CHAPTER 1-c_________.
|                            |
|      BABACHOP              |
|_                          _|
 \========================/

Go South until you reach the bridge. Cross the bridge and head North-East.
You should go through the trail between the mountains. After some walking to
the East, you will end up in a forest area. Right in front of you is BABACHOP.
Enter the village.

BABACHOP is a very unique village. All the houses are in the underground.
Talk to the villagers, and explore the surroundings. Don't use the Inn or buy
any stuff at the shops. There is nothing worth if at the moment. Instead, head
at the cave with the big tribal masks, on top of the cliff. The Chiff of the
village will have another lengthy discussion between Rusion and Elgoat. He
ask you to go with Miminaga to the CHICHIBORA cave and eliminate the Ogres
there. You will also receive some items and gold to help you on your quest.

Once you are done talking with him, head outside of the Chiff cave, and your
characters will begin yet another discussion with Miminaga. Once Miminaga
joins your party, go back to the weapon store inside the underground caves and
purchase Battle-Axe #1 (+30, 4, 200G). Equip it to Miminaga, and sell his old
Bow. Since your newly equipped weapon has a Smash Strength of 4, you can now
break any crates that you find in your way, along with many other stuff. You
should try breaking anything that seems breakable, as many place will reward
you for your curiosity!

You are ready to leave BABACHOP now. But before doing so, make sure that you
break all the crates for some rewards. Also you should speak to all villagers
and visit all the caves. When you leave the village, return back to the
PINAKOTEIK Tower, either by walking to it, or by Teleporting for 40MP. There
you should break the crates on the left room of the first floor. Equip Elgoat
with the sword that you will receive. For your reference, it's a Long Sword #2
(+34, 4). Now return back to BABACHOP, rest your characters in the Inn, and
save just outside of the village. If you wish, you can fight a bit near the
village to get some experience and levels, since our next destination will
offer you some pretty tough enemies. Get ready for our first real challenge.
The Cave of CHICHIBORA!

________CHAPTER 1-d_________.
|                            |
|      CHICHIBORA            |
|_                          _|
 \========================/

Once you are ready, head East of BABACHOP and through the mountain trail. A
cut scene will initiate just before you reach the cave. You will automatically
enter the caves. Speak to the guards, and then proceed. Enemies here are very
tough so be careful. You will have to protect Rusion at all costs, as she is
the only one who can heal your team through magic. Also, while searching the
cave, remember that you can actually break many of the rocks and boulders by
using the SMASH option.

You will reach T-Junction. You don't have to go left, as the path is blocked
by some purple crystals. Instead go right and follow the trail until you reach
another T-junction. Going left will lead you to a treasure box which contains
an HP Recovery +400. Now go back to the T-junction and go right. Here you are
likely to engage in battle with some birds which suck your HP and MP, so be
careful! Break the boulders here for a reward, and open the treasure box just
North from here for an MP Recovery +50. Now proceed South.

There you are in front of yet another T-Junction. To the West, past the small
boulder is a treasure box. Go for it. Equip the Armor #2 to Elgoat. Go through
the path on the East, and you will reach an entrance. Break the boulders West
to receive a reward and go past them. Follow the track until you reach an
open area. Make sure that you have got all the treasures behind the boulders
and step on the purple switch to restore all your HP and MP. Walk through the
entrance, get the treasure on the left, which is a magic item (Earth Talisman)
and after some discussions between the characters, enter this new entrance to
reach the Ogre's lair, and your first Boss battle!

BOSS #1: OGRE LEADER

This battle is fairly easy if you don't risk taking chances. Play with mostly
defense in mind. The Ogre Leader is fairly tough and will inflict lots of
damage, so you don't want additional trouble! First kill the two Ogres
surrounding the Boss, and then focus on the Boss itself. You should have
Elgoat be the front person in this battle, as he has the best defense and
attack. Rusion will be staying behind and cast Heal magic to any character
that has suffered more than 80HP of damage. Don't worry, this battle won't
give you any real trouble.

  |___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|


After the battle has ended, you will receive Hammer #2 (+42, 5). You will be
automatically transported to BABACHOP. After some talking with the Chiff, you
can exit his cave. Walk to the North until you reach a cave. Here is the cave
of the Shaman of BABACHOP. He will give you three new spells. Refer to the
Magic section in PART 4 to see what they are. Equip MIMINAGA with the Hammer
you received from Ogre Leader (+42, 5). Also sell your old weapons for some
Gold in the shops. Exit BABACHOP and save.

________CHAPTER 1-e_________.
|                            |
|      CHICHIBORA REVISITED  |
|_                          _|
 \========================/

Return to CHICHIBORA cave. You are now able to SMASH the purple crystals that
block your path left of the first T-Junction. Go there and follow the path
which will lead into another cave entrance. Follow the route, breaking any
obstacles that block your way as some contain rewards. Keep entering caves
until you reach the exit. You should now be on top of the mountains. Head to
the West, and continue through the forest area to reach your next destination,
the village of MIRADO.

==============================================================================
[ CHAPTER 2-/ ]          *THE SHADOW HUNT*                     [ CHAPTER 2-/ ]
==============================================================================

________CHAPTER 2-a_________.
|                            |
|      MIRADO                |
|_                          _|
 \========================/

Welcome to the beautiful village of MIRADO. After some discussions regarding
Elgoat's curse, and how to cure him, you will be free to explore the village.
Before setting out on your next quest, you should equip you characters with
new Protector and Arms. From the Item Store purchase 3 Helmets #2 (+4, 180G)
and equip your characters with them. From the Weapon Store purchase Spear #2
(+36, 3, 500G) and Battle Axe #2 (+43, 5, 800G) and equip them to Rusion and
Miminaga respectively. Sell Rusion's old Spear. Rest in the Inn if you need
it. Remember to SMASH all trees, as there is a reward in a tree to the
North-West part of the village. Finally, ensure that Rusion and Elgoat have
reached Level 8 and Miminaga Level 7. If they are not that high, do some more
battles outside MIRADO, until you are ready. Save your game near the village.

________CHAPTER 2-b_________.
|                            |
|      THE DARK WARRIOR      |
|_                          _|
 \========================/

Enter MIRADO and head to the West of the village. Cross the bridge and you
will be back on the map, but this time past the river. Go North and cross the
next bridge. Follow the trail that leads North-West, until you reach yet
another bridge. Don't cross it. Instead, go South until you find a Tower. This
is our next destination. Save your game and enter the tower.

Enemies here get tougher, so be very careful. Enter the first room and break
down the two pillar walls, by using your SMASH technique. Remember that you
can break down almost everything in this game, which will also earn you
random rewards, so don't forget to use this technique whenever you suspect
that you can ram something down.

Pass through the corridor on the left, and follow the trail until you reach
a treasure. An HP Recovery +400 item is now yours. Now return and take the
corridor on the North. You will find your way blocked by a library. Push it
forward until the path is open and walk up the stairs.

Here you are in yet another large room. Go forward and SMASH your way forward
until you reach a corridor with three different ways. Go forward and open the
treasure. Equip Elgoat with the Boots #3 (+ 3) that you will find here. Now go
back and take the passage to the left. You will end up in a stairway leading
above. Take it. Remember to SMASH everything along your way, and move to the
corridor on the left. Head North and enter the small room to receive two
treasures. One is an MP Recovery +50 and the other is the Sword #4 (+38, 2).
If for some reason Elgoat is not equipped with a better sword, then equip it
to Elgoat and return back to the corridor with the three routes. Now take the
right passage, until you reach another large room.

Find the passage to the North, by breaking the bookcases to the North using
your SMASH technique. Proceed to the next big room and take the stairs on the
far upper-left of the room. Go forward and past the large room, until you find
two big doors. There will be a passage to the right, but don't take it, as you
will go through it after. Go through the two big doors and you will end up in
a prison. After some discussions with some villagers from MIRADO which are
locked up in the cell, move to the left through the passage. Better fill your
HP and MP as we are approaching our second Boss of the game, the DARK WARRIOR.

BOSS #2: DARK WARRIOR

 If you are ready, go forward until you encounter the DARK WARRIOR. This
battle can be tricky if you are not properly equipped, or if your characters
are under-level. But if you keep a defensive stance, let only Elgoat attack,
hide Miminaga behind a pillar and keep Rusion behind Elgoat to constantly heal
him, you will bring this evil down in no time.

Once you defeat him, return back to the prison, and to the large room behind
the two big doors. Now take the route to the right. In the next room, remember
to SMASH the walls and get the treasure. Follow the corridor leading to the
right, which will eventually end in a staircase going down. Go down, and again
go down in the next Staircase. You will now end up in the first floor of the
tower. Take the two treasures and push the bookcase until you can move along.
You are now back in the first large room of the tower. Go back and through
the exit. Return to MIRADO, and save outside of the village.

________CHAPTER 2-c_________.
|                            |
|      BACK TO MIRADO        |
|_                          _|
 \========================/

Go to the house in middle of the village, and a lengthy conversation will
begin. Once you have control of your characters, go to the Item Shop and sell
all the old Arms and Protectors. You should have Gloves #2 (+5), which you
should equip to Elgoat. See his old Gloves #1. Rusion has now received a new
set of spells. Make sure that you check which they are by refering in the
Magic section of PART 4. You also have acquired a new Talisman by defeating
the Dark Warrior. It's the Wind Talisman that will deliver massive Wind damage
to all your enemies. Finally, you may equip your characters with anything you
find useful in the shops, but I suggest that you wait a little bit until we
reach the next village where you will find much better stuff. It's up to you.

Once you are ready, exit MIRADO and either teleport or walk your way back to
the bridge near the Dark Warrior's Tower. Cross the bridge and walk North-West
until you reach the entrance of a cave. Rest your team and save your game just
outside of the cave.

[ PART 4-c ]             *Item List*                              [ PART 4-c ]
==============================================================================

I will give common names to the items because I could not directly translate
them. Please understand that this might not be their correct translation,
or not even accurate at all. N/A means that this is not applicable. Some items
can only be found, or cannot be sold. If you don't know Japanese, you are
unlikely to know which item you are using, until it is very late. So, always
Save your game before using an item that you don't know.

Talismans are items usuable by the whole team. They have unlimited usage, but
need MP to cast. Think of them as Summon magic from the common Final Fantasy
series and you are halfway there.

[ PART 4-e ]             *Enemies List*                           [ PART 4-e ]
==============================================================================

Here is a list of all the enemies in the game and their most common moves.
Their HP can vary, but it will be very similar to the HP I have provided.
There is also a section describing where you can encounter the enemy. You can
basically meet any enemy anywhere, once you have encountered them for the
first time, but still they will be more common in the Chapters I have listed.
I don't have a full list of moves for every enemy, nor do I know how these
moves are really called. But I listed any move that an enemy has used on my,
and I named them according to what the enemy does, using a similar move-name
system as in most RPG games.
