I. Introduction

I wrote this guide because, unbelievably, I found virtually no information
on this game on the internet.

The latest version of this guide can always be found at www.gamefaqs.com.
The original version of this guide (1.0) was released in January 2003.
That's about all the history anyone needs.

I have created a website based on this guide at:
http://www.rpgclassics.com/shrines/sega_cd/darkwizard

I have also created a no frills .htm version of this guide with handy links to
all subjects. It is a must have. It is available on the download page of the
web site above.

I welcome feedback, suggestions, or criticism for the next version. If you have
any useful relevant information not in this guide, please email me and I will
include it and give you proper credit.

email to [email protected] Be sure to put "Dark Wizard" as the subject.

?- Unknown. These are the great mysteries of the game.
I would like feedback on these things.

II. General Strategies and Information

---Hireling XP
When trying to level up new Hirelings, try to make their attack do the killing
blow on an enemy. Use a more powerful unit to attack the enemy until it is ready
to go. If the Hireling does the killing blow it will level up every time.

---Advance Time while Searching
If you send a search party to complete a quest that requires a certain time of
day, you can advance time by resting at any Inn. Resting advances to the next
time of day. Camping advances to the next morning.

---Castle Guards
You can only leave guards at 3 castles for any given battle.
Any castles you can not guard will automatically be taken by the Demon Army.

---Block enemy's Summon Hexes
You can block the enemy's capability to place more creatures by occupying his
surrounding summoning hexes. In the God's Castle battle, you can occupy the
monster generators to prevent more enemies from spawning.

---XP from Boss Enemies
If you want to gain some levels, surround the demon leader, attack him until he
is almost dead, and end your turn. Most of the time he will use Megarestore and
you can repeat your attacks each turn. Use a powerful character that can survive
the first attack, then let the weaker characters have a free shot for big XP.
Use spells that do little or no damage to that particular boss. This allows your
magic users to gain nice xp and allows as many other party members to attack as
possible.

---Party Order
Adjust your party order after each battle, so that the units needing XP attack
first over other units of that type. This gives your party balance. To adjust
your party order on the party (PRTY) screen: highlight a unit, press C,
highlight the unit you would like to swap with, and press C again.

---Priest XP
Always cast a heal or shield spell with Priests even when everyone is healthy.
They can get XP every turn. Restore = 4 XP. Regenerate = 6 XP.

---Leader XP
Cast a spell with your leader every turn even if they have nothing productive
to do. If everyone is healthy and your leader doesn't have a long range attack
spell, use confuse, defense drain, etc. Attempting to confuse/drain higher
class enemies will result in higher XP gain (7 XP for class 4 dragons). Save
the leader's turn until last to determine what action is the most beneficial.
Healing, Attacking, or just a spell to gain XP.

---Special Character Class Advances
Sub Leader Characters, Ninjas, Dragonriders, Griffinriders, and Winged
Horseriders will increase in class one time.

---Hiring Class 2 units
You will gain the ability to hire and summon class 2 party members when you
take Cheshire. Class 2 summoned units availability will be limited to units
that you have already classed up normally.

---Which summoned units are best?
All summoned creatures have strengths and weaknesses. All are useful if used
to their strengths. See summoned unit information in III. Leader Information

---Why can't I summon any units? I have MP.
You must keep the Royal Light Staff in the possession of your leader in order
to summon creatures. It does not need to be equipped.

---Inventory and Equipping in Cities
While visiting a City, on the main screen, press the start button to bring
up your inventory. Here you can equip items with the C button and get item
descriptions by cycling through your inventory items.

---Time/Day and Night
Lawful units gain advantage during the day and are at a disadvantage at night.
Chaotic units gain advantage at night and are a disadvantage during the day.

The calendar months in order are:
Scarn
Siang
Cela
Ord

---Castle and City income
You will gain additional income from each Castle and City you control. You can
gain control of a city in battle by moving any unit onto any hex of the city.
Gaining control of Castles requires the leader to move onto any Castle hex.
Some Leaders may need to be on the north hex. For example, Amon needs to be on
the north hex to gain control of a castle and his summon creatures can't gain
control of cities for him.
After every successful battle, you will automatically gain control of all
remaining Castles and Cities on the map. Cities add approx. 2-20 gold to your
income, while most Castles gain approx. 20-100 gold depending on the leaders
economic strength rating.

---Emulation
http://gens.consolemul.com
I suggest playing Dark Wizard with the Gens Emulator using the CD. The original
CD has no copy protection and can be copied with any burning software. No use
taking a chance with your original classic game CD. The Kreed Graphics engine
and Yamaha high quality sound options of Gens makes this great game even more
enjoyable. I have not had one crash or problem. Make sure "perfect synchro" is
checked in the CPU menu. There is enough room on the ram cart to save after
every map in case you want to go back and try something different.

VERY IMPORTANT...To keep from losing saved games
Make a directory specifically for Dark Wizard including its own copy of Gens,
bios, and Ram Cart files. Always keep the files together and never run gens
without all the files present. You can move the folder, but make sure to repath
the bios, ram cart and other directories before running the game. Always copy,
test, then delete the old one instead of just moving. If you separate the files
and run Gens, you will lose all your saves. To archive your saves, make a copy
of the entire folder, test it (after repathing), and save it to your preferred
media. Test it again by copying it from the media to your hard drive to make
sure everything still works. I suggest you do this with any sega cd game you're
playing with Gens. Hopefully, Gens will correct this issue on the next version,
until then, protect your saves!

IV. Races, Classes and Progression

All Hirelings advance in class after level 5.
Leaders can hire units of their own alignment and neutral.

---Hired Unit Progression Overview

-Lawful

Fighter > Knight > Paladin

Mage > Magician > Sorcerer

Priest > Bishop > Cleric

-Neutral

Archer > Sniper > Ranger

Mage > Wizard > Enchanter

Priest > Monk > Druid

-Chaotic

Wildman > Berserker > Warlord

Mage > Warlock > Necromancer

Priest > Bishop > Black Bishop

---Hired Unit Placement Order and Reasoning

1. Sub Leader Characters
When sub leader characters are acquired, they will automatically be placed
directly after the leader in slots #2 and #3.

2. New Hirelings
Getting Hirelings an occupation is top priority.

3. Magic Users
When Magic users acquire multiple target spells, set these up first, moving
friendly units that may be in the path of the best spells. Using the spells
that target 3 or 7 enemy units is great for taking out or weakening groups.

4. Warriors
Keep these units on the front lines.

5. Ranged Warriors
They can attack over the front lines with ranged attack.

6. Healers
They can heal injured units after the front line attacks.
Healers' attack spells generally have good range.

---Racial Characteristics

Make sure you hire at least one unit from each race as they will be needed
for various quests. Hireling base values and level up statistics are given
for each race for the purpose of comparison.

-Human
No armor or weapon restrictions. Affinity for chaos.
Human spellcasters learn a spell every other (2nd) level.

40 HP 27 ATT 6 DEF (approx.) 5 MOB

Lawful Human Level up stats - 2 HP 3 ATT
Neutral Human Level up stats - 2 HP 3 ATT
Chaotic Human Level up stats - 3 HP 4 ATT

Competent in all Classes

-Elf
Some Armor and Spear (L) restrictions. Affinity for neutral.
Elven magic-users learn a spell every (1) level.
Elven healers learn a spell every other (2nd) level.

38 HP 23 ATT 5 DEF (approx.) 5 MOB

Lawful Elf Level up stats - 2 HP 2 ATT
Neutral Elf Level up stats - 3 HP 3 ATT
Chaotic Elf Level up stats - 2 HP 2 ATT

Excel as Magic Users or Ranged Warriors

-Dwarf

Excel as Healers

---Class Strategies

-Magic User Strategies

Use different units to earn each elemental spell so every magic user has
powerful short and long range spells.

Plan to convert to the opposite alignment as needed. The idea is to wait until
your magic user or healer learns all the spells of his alignment and then
convert him. He will now begin to learn the spells of his new alignment as
well. Keep in mind, his weapon and armor restrictions will change with an
alignment change.

See Apostle of Sabrina quest and Apostle of Darkness quest for additional
details on alignment changes.

-Warrior Strategies

Hire a Class 2 Human Warrior to become a Ninja when the situation arises if
you have taken Cheshire, Otherwise a Class 2 Level 1 Human Warrior is all that
is required for a Ninja.

An originally Lawful Warrior (Paladin) is needed to become a Winged Horserider.
For Chaotic Leader Quests, the Fighter you start with is the only eligible
unit to become a Winged Horserider unless you create more. See below.

A Warrior matching your Dragon's alignment is needed to become a Dragonrider.

A Warrior or a Ranged Warrior can be used for a Griffinrider.

A Warrior can be converted to the opposite alignment in order to take advantage
of more of the best equipment available.

See Apostle of Sabrina quest for a way to get additional Lawful Warriors who
are eligible to become Winged Horseriders.

See Apostle of Darkness quest for a way to get Chaotic Warriors when playing
as a lawful leader.

-Ranged Warrior Strategies

Robin will need one to become a Dragonrider.

Make at least one of your Ranged Warriors an elf to take advantage of more of
the best equipment available.

-Healer Strategies

Plan to convert to the opposite alignment as needed.
See magic user section above.

Spirit spell Trick for another way.

---Main Quests (in semi-chronological order)

spot in the forest southwest of Ridley to reveal Arien the elf village. From
the west hex of Ridley city, 10 south and 5 west. Visit Arien with an elf.

battle with your Leader. See God's Castle Quest for details.

---Become an Apostle of Sabrina
(change character alignment chaotic to lawful)
Pray 10 times at the Church in Cheshire. Will not work with sub leader
characters or neutral units. If you are playing a chaotic leader and wish to
have more naturally lawful units (esp. for a Winged Horserider), hire a unit
before taking Cheshire Castle. Keep him as a hireling without an occupation.
Change his alignment to Lawful. When he classes up, he will become a naturally
lawful unit. For Warriors, Wildman will still be the option, but when you
select Wildman after doing this, he becomes a Fighter. After you take Cheshire
Castle, you can no longer hire Class 1 units. Any units you wish to manipulate
this way must be hired prior to taking Cheshire Castle.

---Become an Apostle of Darkness
(change character alignment from lawful to chaotic)
Pray 10 times at the Church in Sage or Loa. Will not work with sub leader
characters or neutral units. If you are playing a lawful leader and wish to
have more naturally chaotic units, hire a unit before taking Cheshire Castle.
Keep him as a hireling without an occupation. Change his alignment to chaotic.
When he classes up, he will become a naturally chaotic unit. For Warriors,
Fighter will still be the option, but when you select Fighter after doing this,
he becomes a Wildman. After you take Cheshire Castle, you can no longer hire
Class 1 units. Any units you wish to manipulate this way must be hired prior
to taking Cheshire Castle.

---Train a Ninja
Visit the Pawn Shop in Kaus to receive the Shinobi Knife. Search the strange
tree northeast of Tobis between two mountain ranges with the Shinobi Knife in
your inventory to reveal Shinobi (the secret ninja hamlet). From the east hex
of Tobis, 7 north and 7 east. Talk to the Mayor of Shinobi with a Human
Warrior unit, class 2 or above. He will offer you ninja training.
Ninjas become very powerful. Keep in mind when choosing a unit to become your
Ninja that an originally Lawful warrior (Paladin) is required for a Winged
Horserider. If you have taken Cheshire, you will be able to hire a Class 2
Warrior. Leave a slot open for him, hire him, and train him as a Ninja. After
training, a Ninja is always the same strength, regardless of his strength
before training.

---Rare Axes
Talk to the lady in the Town Square in Spring. Return to the Town Square in
Spring at noon with a Chaotic Warrior equipped with a Battle Axe. You will drop
the Axe into the spring. The Spirit will appear and present a Golden Axe to you
and ask if it is yours. If you say (yes) the Golden Axe is yours, she will give
you the Golden Axe. If you say (no) the Golden Axe is NOT yours, she will
present a Silver Axe to you and ask if it is yours. If you say (yes) the Silver
Axe is yours, she will give you the Silver Axe. If you say (no) the Silver Axe
is NOT yours, she will present a Battle Axe to you and ask if it is yours. If
you say (yes) the Battle Axe IS yours, she will give you both the Golden Axe
AND the Silver Axe. If you say (no) the Battle Axe is NOT yours, she will ask
you again if the Battle Axe is yours. If you say (yes) the Battle Axe is yours
after all, you will get your original Battle Axe back. If you say (no) the
Battle Axe is still not yours, you will lose your Battle Axe and get nothing.
See weapon list for stats of the three axes. Also note the Golden and Silver
axes are very valuable.

---Save Dwarf Miners
Defeat the Giant Serpent guarding the cave southeast of Willis. From the east
hex of Willis, 3 south 6 east. You can also draw the serpent away from the mine
by confusing it. Search the cave with a Dwarf Unit and he will move the rock
blocking the opening. You free the miners and they give you the Gaia Armor as
a gift for saving them. See armor list.

---Save the People Turned to Stone in Willis
Talk to the Priest in Niele and the Priest in Moog. Visit the Inn, Pawn Shop
and Mayor in Eros in that order. Talk to the troubadour at the Tavern in
Sundrek. Search the mouth of the moat directly southwest of Tara Castle to
find the Mermaid's Harp. From the west hex of Tara Castle, 1 south. Return
to Willis with the Mermaid's Harp in your inventory to turn the city back to
normal. Willis has great weapons for sale at great prices and is required for
the Slayer quest.

---Rebirth Spell
Krystal and Amon- (Resurrect)
Talk to the Mayor of Teydon. Talk to the Alchemist in Kalua and buy the Goat's
Blood for 1000 gold. Visit the Mayor of Teydon with a class 3 (minimum)

You will learn the Resurrection Spell.

Robin and Armer IX- (Rebirth)

the 3 small mountains north of Teydon. From the west hex of Teydon, 8 north,
2 west. Search that location with a class 4, Lawful Priest and purify him. He
will remain there until the end of the battle without moving. You also have
the option of returning to this map with a search party. Return to Kalua church.
The Priest will teach you the Rebirth Spell.

---Hobbit Rod and the Sandclock of Dreams
Pray at the Church in Pacilite 200 times (you read right) and then talk to the
Priest to receive the Hobbit Rod. Use the Hobbit Rod with a Hobbit unit on the
strange spot north of Wuls to find the Sandclock of Dreams. From the east hex
of Wuls, 8 north, 2 east. See Hidden Items on Avisis map for location of
another one. See Item List for use.

---Acquire Griffin
Visit the Weapon Shop and Alchemist in Wuls. Visit the Town Square in Solma.
Search the cave south of Proxel Castle with any Warrior or Ranged Warrior unit
in the Evening to find and tame a Griffin. From north hex of Proxel Castle,
9 south and 1 west. Make sure you have a space available. (party max. is 40)

---Acquire Winged Horse
Talk to the Mayor of Palacite. Search the Winged Horse Spring in the middle of
the forest northwest of Palacite with a Female in the Morning to find a Winged
Horse. From the west hex of Palacite, 3 north and 1 west. Use Katrina for
Krystal's quest. Robin herself will have to do this for Robin's quest. This is
very important because you can not send Robin with a search party, thus you
must find the Winged Horse during the Flayrona or North Baltrik battle when
playing Robin. Use Susan for Amon's quest. You can use either Marie or Dianna
for Armer's quest, but you won't need to worry about a Winged Horse with Armer
because he can summon them. Make sure you have a space available
(party max. is 40).

---Beastriders
Visit the Tavern in Laguna. Visit the Inn in Kalua and talk to the injured man
to get the Talisman. Use the Talisman on the strange tree southeast of Kalua
to reveal Sharktan. From the east hex of Kalua, 3 south 6 east. Talk to the
Mayor and then visit the Mansion. You will be instructed to visit Sharktan clan
members in Dragonia, Paradis, and Nautia. He will give you the Sharktan Amulet
to identify yourself to the clan members. Have the Sharktan Amulet in your
inventory when visiting the clan members. See Dragonrider, Winged Horserider,
and Griffinrider quests below for further instructions.

---Dragonrider
Take the Sharktan Amulet to the Pawn Shop in Dragonia to receive the Dragon
Ring. Use the Dragon Ring on a dragon unit standing next to a Warrior unit to
get a Dragonrider. Warrior and Dragon must both be 4th class and have the same
original alignment. (for example: a paladin who has been converted to chaotic
is still compatible with a lawful dragon because he is originally lawful)
Amon's Undead Dragons require a Chaotic Warrior.

---Winged Horserider
Take the Sharktan Amulet to the Pawn Shop in Paradis to receive the Flying Robe.
Use the Flying Robe on a Winged Horse unit standing next to a 4th class Lawful
Warrior (Paladin) unit to get a Winged Horserider. The unit must be originally
lawful. If using a converted unit, it must be converted to lawful before having
an occupation. See Become Apostle of Sabrina Quest for more information.
See Acquire Winged Horse Quest if you don't have a Winged Horse.

---Griffinrider
Visit the Pawn Shop and Church in Nautia (the Sharktan Amulet is not required)
to receive the Flying Saddle (referred to as the Water of Heaven?). Use the
Flying Saddle with any Warrior or Ranged Warrior unit on an adjacent Griffin
to get a Griffinrider. See Acquire Griffin Quest if you don't have a Griffin.

---Slayer (Dragonrider Vain's Sword)
Visit the Weapon Shop in Sharktan. Visit the Weapon Shop and Mayor in Willis.
Visit the Tavern and Mayor of Wuls. Visit the Tavern, Inn, Mayor, and Church
in Solma. After speaking to everyone listed, talk to the Priest in Garmesh.
Return to the Tavern in Wuls to receive the Goblet of Solma. Search the mouth
of the volcano on the island west of Solma using any beastrider with the Goblet
of Solma in his inventory to find Slayer. From the west hex of Solma, 1 south
and 14 west. If you get a message saying 'It's too hot to go inside' when you
search the volcano, your conversations are not complete in the 5 cities above.

---Save the People turned to Vampires in Loa
Talk to the Mayor in Astea, who is really the Mayor of Loa. Agree to go to Loa
and he will give you the Sun Stone. Visit Loa at Night with the Sun Stone in
your inventory to turn the people back to normal and kill the vampire mayor.
Talk to the real Mayor in Loa to receive the Moon Stone. See Item list for use.
Amon doesn't take part in this quest for obvious reasons. You can talk to the
people of Loa at night and even get personal greetings if you visit with Amon.
After the South Baltrik battle, Amon will make Susan a vampire. Her alignment
will be Undead from that point on.

---Ghost Scythe
Search the single hex island west of Demia Castle to find the Rusty Weapon.
From the north hex of Demia Castle, 3 north and 24 west. Take the Rusty Weapon
to the Blacksmith in Willis. Have him temper the Rusty Weapon into the Ghost
Scythe. See weapon list.

---Seal of the Demons and Access to Viosdia Island
When you defeat the 4 demon leaders, you receive the Seal of the Demons. Search
the Shrine south of Palwa with the Seal of Demons in your inventory to receive
the Fog Chime. From the west hex of Palwa, 6 south. Use the Fog Chime on the
tree south of the Shrine to summon Tagon and gain access to Viosdia island.
From the west hex of Palwa, 8 south.

XI. Tricks and Oddities

---Good Sources of Gold
If you need gold, send a search party to load up on the following valuable
items. For items acquired by praying at a church, go into the city, pray
at the church to get the item, leave the city, repeat. You also have the
option of selling immediately if there is a weapon or pawn shop in the town.
You can also sell in a neighboring town.

-Power Staff in Nieve Church (value 250g)
These aren't real valuable, but are included here because they are on the
Insenior map very early in the game. Handy for getting money to hire units
you might not otherwise be able to afford. There is a weapon shop in Nieve
so stay as long as you like.

-Living Power staff in Yunas church (value 3750g)
Good early equipment for mages and priests and big bucks fairly early
in the game. This one will really make you feel like your cheating.
There is a weapon shop in Yunas.

-Sultis Sword in Enhas Church (value 5000g)
One of the better swords in the game. Very good money making opportunity.

-Athena's Orb in Niele Church (value 5000g)
A good opportunity made better because Niele has a pawn shop. Stay a while.

-Shadow Shield on Balkandi map (value 4900)
Once you make it to this point you will never worry about gold again.
You will now be able to afford that expensive ninja and elf equipment you've
been looking at without having to go in and out of a church. Very fast gold.

---Place More Troops
Leave a castle hex open when placing troops. Move your leader to the open
spot during their turn and you can place more troops.

---Search Party Availability
You are able to send a search party out after every battle and have them
available for your next battle by immediately retreating at the beginning of
the next battle. As long as you placed castle guards, and are not attacking/
retreating from a map in which you control 2 castles, you will lose nothing
and can go into each battle with every unit available. When you make it to the
Isle of Viosdia, every retreat will cause a castle to be taken. You can defeat
this by leaving Nortia Castle under Warlord control and attacking that map
when you need to immediately retreat. When you are finished with your quests
and no longer need to send search parties, you can take Nortia Castle.

---Easy Xp with the Power Staff
Send any unit on a search party with a power staff. Use the power staff to cast
cure for XP. You can do this as many times as you like while on a search party.

---Equip anyone with a Ghost Scythe (Bifrostbear)
You can temper the Rusty Weapon into a Ghost Scythe at the blacksmith in Willis
for 2500G. Anyone can equip the Rusty Weapon, and if you temper it while
equipped, it will remain equipped. This allows units to use the Ghost Scythe
who wouldn't normally be able to. Once this is done, it must never be
unequipped or moved, as you will not be able to re-equip it. Since the source
of the Rusty Weapon on the Demia map is unlimited, you can, theoretically
equip every unit with a Ghost Scythe.

---Defeat Karmak without the Water Spirit (Troy Stiltner)
Position a Ninja adjacent to Karmak with Gun Powder in his inventory. Get the
HP of both Karmak and the Ninja down to near death. Cast an attack spell on
Karmak that will hit the Ninja as well. When the Ninja dies, he will involve
Karmak in his death and Karmak will die too.

---Temper the Seal of the Demons (Bifrostbear)
For 50G you can temper the Seal of the Demons at the blacksmith in Willis to
get a short sword (3 attack). Save your game before you try this, as you will
not be able to get the fog chime or get onto Viosdia Island. Game Over.

---Use Arliman's own power against him in the God's Castle battle
If you equip the Retribution armor, unequip your shield (and any other
protective items) and attack Arliman, you will be able to give back half of
the damage he does to you. Some units (for example the Griffinrider or Winged
Horserider) take major damage (over 600 hp) from Arliman. You can take him
down with his own power. This works especially well if you have the ability to
resurrect. No need to heal the unit after resurrecting them, just attack again.

---Kyrstal's Sub Leaders switch occupations
In an obvious in-game mistake, Marcus' occupation is listed as Mage and
Katrina's occupation is listed as Soldier. After they class up, their proper
occupations are listed.

---Leader Personal Greetings and Residency

Krystal, Marcus, and Katrina will get personal greetings in Woors. They will
be residents of Woors in the other leader's quests. Marcus will be the weapon
dealer, Krystal will be the alchemist, and Katrina will be the priestess.

Robin, Kail, and David will get a special fortune in Sundrek and Robin is a
resident in Sundrek Inn in the other leaders quests.

Amon will get personal greetings in Loa, but is nowhere to be found in the
other leaders' quests.

Armer IX will get personal greetings at the Tavern in Cheshire and be a
resident there in the other leaders quests.
