~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Most chances are that this FAQ won't be changed unless I find something new
in the game or somebody e-mails me to change something because it is wrong
or add something I don't have
1.0 - First, full version of the FAQ
1.01 - Added some stuff in Hints/Tips section, corrected 1 spelling mistake.
Well, this is my 2nd real FAQ (my two Worms FAQs are basically the same because
the games are 99.9% identical), and I'm typing it because I saw this on the FAQ
Bounty list, and after playing it a while, I liked it, so I started writing
a FAQ. So here it is. A lot of the information can be found the instruction
booklet for the game, but many things are missing, such as the walkthrough
and bestiary, and I am here to fill that in. Hope you enjoy my walkthrough.
Here the gist of the plot (taken straight from the game instructions):
-_-_-
~~~~~
"If thou be strong and noble, a mighty quest awaits thee! After a millennium
of peace, the Dark Lord Terarin hast freed herself and stolen the Golden Seal,
opening Pandora's Passage to the evil dimension. Now, hoards of fearsome
monsters roam the land. Come! Follow in the footsteps of the mighty Iason and
defeat the Dark Lord. Only you, the Miracle Warrior, can retrun the Seal to
its rightful place.
The Legend of Iason
Long ago in a land of swords and sorcery, a stumbling sheperd lad named Iason
unknowingly opened the Pandora Passage. Through this gateway all manner of
evil creatures were let loose upon the Five Lands under the claws of the
Dark Lord Terarin. As Iason grew into a man, he watched Terarin's nightmare
army devastate the Five Lands. Since it was he who had unleashed this evil, he
took a vow to defeat Terarin and restore peace to his world.Iason trained with
the White Monks, learning the ways of the King's sword... and the magical
dangers of Terarin's evil hoard. To help him on his quest, the monks gave him
magical arms and armor. After a long and valiant battle, Iason defeated
Terarin and drove her into another dimension. Then, his armor glowing gold,
Iason resealed the Pandora Passage. The people of the Five Lands made him a
legend. Before he went back to the life of a sheperd, Iason made a prophecy
that one day Terarin would return, and that four brave warriors would awake
to meet her evil challenge!
Art Thou The Miracle Warrior?
There was a time not long ago when Terarin escaped from her entrapment and,
with a howl of rage that shook the world, once again unleashed her terror
upon the land. You watched the Five Lands suffer under her ruthless campaign
of evil as you wandered from country to country. Then, one fine, cloudless
day, you wanderings led you to a castle...where you learned of your true
destiny. The blood of Iason flowed in your veins. But were you the one fated
to bring an end to Terarin's evil? Only time would tell as you learned
the ways of magic and the sword!"
-_-_-
~~~~~
Basically, you have to roam the world finding 3 friends while fighting enemies,
talking to people, getting items, and eventually,
killing the Dark Lord Terarin. Sounds easy, right? Right, because the game is
somewhat short (considering it was one of the first RPG's in America)
and easy to understand and beat. I won't go into much detail because most
of the stuff in the game is self-explanatory, and everything can be found
in the instruction booklet.
For easy training in the beginning, just kill Evil Merchants mainly. They are
easy to kill and provide 2000 guilders, and after a couple of kills, you can
full arm your main character and buy some herbs too.
And also, don't sell fangs unless you are in dire need of money, because you
will need them later to buy more important items.
Don't try to battle liphants at the early stages of the game. The sacred nuts
may be tempting, but if you do win, it will most likely be a pyrrhic victory.
Finally, the part we've all been waiting for - the walkthrough. At each town,
you should (but don't have to) to raise your character(s) up
1-2 levels (unless it is just directions on how to get somewhere), and the more
experience the better. Don't run from battles unless you really have to or
you know the monster you're facing is too strong. In the beginning, just go to
Garia and train around there, and once you have less than half HP, just get
healed. You can probably manage to kill 2 enemies at a time at this rate,
at least in the beginning.
You start off in Arasia, and King of Arukas (in the castle in the starting
square on the map) sends you to begin your quest. You must go to Garia, which
is south of the start point.
Once at Garia, you will be told about a person named Kosama in the northern
mountains.
Now go northwest to the Austrel province, cross the bridge,
and Kosama's village will be northwest of the bridge.
Kosama will tell you about the Legendary Armor, and the three companions that
must accompany you to the Gelkis Shrine to complete your quest. He gives
you the spell "Awake, Giant" to make the companions party members (when you
find them). Now you must find your first companion, Guy.
Head southeast now until you find another bridge. After crossing it, go south
again, slightly east. You will find yourself in the town of Oruk. This is the
best place to train. Once you get 12,000 guilders, buy the blacksmith, and then
start buying arms from there on. Once you have a sword, armor, a shield,
5 herbs, and the mask, you are ready to head on.
Also, if you should have 300 fangs. South of Oruk is Marula castle, and the king
offers Iris' Axe for 300 fangs, just for you. And for 60,000 guilders,
there is a blacksmith that will upgrade your weapon, and he is located south
in Hierax, before the desert.
[Sidequest 1]
[Sidequest 2]
Go north, the west until the Penteus Mountians, then south of the Kokalos
Forest, and west to the town of Kadia. In the healer's shop, you will find
your target: Guy. Choose "SPELL" and use "Awake, Giant", and he will join you
quest. He will also give you a piece of Iason's Scroll.
From here, go northwest in the Dirke Mountians to reach the castle of
Apheidas. The Apheidan king will present Guy with Turo's Sword for 300 fangs.
From there, go back to the blacksmith in Hierax to updgrade Guy's weapon.
Now you must get the Armor of Kronos to enlist Medi. Go back to Oruk, but now
head west and north between Minos and Menos (towns) to the western shore of
Kallipolis. Go in the cavern and beat Senpi, who won't be that easy.
Now return back to Kadia and head east and south to the Kolalos Forest. Here
you will fight the skeleton to gain passage to the south.
After you beat him, go south to the region of Kadmos. In the center of the
region, there will be a small town where you can purchase the Argo ship for
30,000 guilders.
Now head south to the region of Eratos to the town of Torif. Not much to
do here but heal and stock up on herbs.
Go south across the river to the village of Karme, where you can buy
a Staff of Earthquakes for 10,000 guilders.
Then go east across the desert to the town of Doris. Medi will be a dancer
at a pub in the town. Use the "Awake, Giant" spell again, and she will
become a party member and give you another piece of Iason's scroll. She
also tells you about Treo, the 3rd and last companion.
Now go west of Torif to the southern tip of the Molos forest, and the
King of Elatos will give Eros' Sword to Medi for 300 fangs.
Go north of the town where you bought Argo, fight the Senpi in the mountain
cave, and you will get the Armor of Titan.
[Sidequest 3]
From Silvuis, go northeast to the Phrixos Mountains. In the cave here, there
will be another Senpi, guarding the Armor of Athena.
Go southeast to the island of Ikaros and go find Hanj in the cave. He is
guarding the Ulysses Shield. From here you can go to the village of
Iphis and buy Stones of Protection for 50 fangs/piece.
Go northwest until you find a island cave. Find Treo in the cave and use
"Awake, Giant" to lift his curse, get him in your party, and get the
last part of the scroll.
North from the island cave towards Arukas, on the northern tip of the
Eratos Mountains, you will find the Iphis Monument. Use "Treo Has Come"
to gain entry. Inside is the Halberd of Babel, the Armor of Kaos, the
Shield of Kimaira, (all for Treo), and some Sacred Nuts.
Go to Garia, then west to mountain cave of Koryki to get the Shield of
Celene for Medi, guarded by a Hanj.
Go west to the blacksmith in Hierax to upgrade the weapons.
Go north to a cave with the Shield of Hector, also guarded by a Hanj.
Go west to the island village, where Treo will get the Agronaut for free
to cross the Stormy Seas of Anteia.
On the seas, you will encounter Sea Dragons that drop resurrection potions
occasionally.
Once land is reached, go in the center and look for the plains Tegea.
From there, you can go north in the Kithairon Desert and buy a white orb
for 1000 fangs.
Then go back to Tegea. Go 8 spaces south. Then 8 spaces west. Then 5 spaces
north. Then finally 3 spaces west to get to a monument where you fight a
basailz.
Now go back to Tegea. Go 16 spaces south. Search and you will find Rokhod's
Catacombs. Use "Come, Iason" to enter. You will get the Key of Heaven after
killing Rokhod.
Now go back to Tegea. Go 6 spaces south. Then go 16 spaces west. You will
arrive at Sehod's Catacombs, and after killing Sehod, you will get the Key
of Earth.
Go back to Tegea. Go 16 spaces south. Then go 16 spaces west. Then go 10
spaces north. You will arrive at Ohod's Catacombs, and you will get the Key
of Hell after killing Ohod.
Go back to Tegea. Go 16 spaces south. Then go 16 spaces west. Then go 10
spaces north. Finally, go 6 spaces west. You will arrive at the Gelkis
Monument. After the maze here, you will be in Terarin's Lair, to battle
the final boss. Everybody should be at very high levels (if not max) with
these items:
-11 Sacred nuts
-3 to 6 Stones of Protection
-3 to 4 Staffs of Earthquakes
-1 White Sphere
-3 Potions of Resurrection
Just use up all of the items, strongest first, and use the potions only
when you are in dire need. You will probably end up with 1 or 2 of your
characters dead by the end, unless you didn't pack items before or
didn't level up enough. If you do beat her, then enjoy the ending.
Sidequests (mainly just optional items, but will help you a lot):
1. The best place to get sacred nuts is in the forests by Oruk.
2. At the Julus Monument, east of Marula Castle, you can get 100 fangs
and the helm.
3. South of Eratos, in the northern part of the desert, you can get the mantle
and crystal (hidden in one of the walls) in the Silvuis Monument.
Here is a list of the weapons in the game. ATTACK is how much higher the
character's attack strength will be by equipping this. DEFENSE is how much
higher the character's defense strength will be by equiping this. Damage is how
much damage it can take before it breaks.

10. Hints and Tips
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Write down the hints and advice people give you in the game
-Use my maps of the dungeons to save time/energy
-Save often
-Use magic items when fighting strong items
-Retreat can sometimes be better than fighting
-Mark places on the world that aren't on the map
-Value your charisma, for it will come in handy eventually
-Train your characters and much as you can
-Use and collect Sacred Nuts often for quick experience for all characters
-To get a lot of experience, you can battle a monk, but right before you kill
him, use "Talk", and the battle should end (sometimes even with a healing),
and you should have gotten a lot of experience without losing charisma.
Get more potions/sacred nuts:
-To get 11 sacred nuts, get nine from a liphant, then use one, and then you
will be able to get 11, the max.
-To get 24 potions, buy 20, then use one, and then buy 5 more, and you should
have 24, the max.
-Kogado, Ascii, and Sega for creating the game and informative instruction book.
-The Miracle Warriors Shrine, for filling in some of the bestiary for me,
along with some region/village/city names.
-Tim Rowe, for giving me the tip to put in the sacred nut/potion maxing.
-GameFaqs, for the FAQ Bounty that gave me the urge to buy this awesome game
and write a walkthrough for it, and for letting me post it on their website
for others to learn how to beat the game.
If you have any suggestions on how to write FAQs better, any questions you
still may have, or any cheats or anything I may have missed in this FAQ,
