1. Intro***********************GAIA_1****************************************
Welcome to my FAQ for a game that covers, to the best of my ability, my first
RPG. The Illusion of Gaia is a game for the SNES that I got at the age of
four. Of course, I stupidly got rid of it and, for the past eleven or so years,
I never saw this game.
Thanks to the FAQ Bounty program at GameFAQs, I was able to finally replay
this game. So, thanks to SBAllen for the cash. I now have this excellent RPG.
Quintet made this great game, second in the Soul Blazer trilogy. That may be
all I can give on game background, but Enix, the publisher for the game, is
probably more known for merging with Square in the early 2000s, becoming
Square Enix, and spewing out great Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games.
Anyway, there was no point to the above. Basically, I hope you enjoy this FAQ.

Might be nice to start off with a little explaining of the format of this
walkthrough. Each area is divided off by two lines of right-end parentheses, as
above, with the area name pseudo-centered between them. Below that, as it is
applicable, is a treasure list. Basically, this is a preview of the available
treasures for that area, with some checkboxes you can use if you decide to
print this out. There will also be monster bestiaries, but that won't start
until about Section II. Okay so far?
Anyhow, we'll begin at the school in South Cape. School there is just ending.
As it does, the main character, Will, gives you a bit of background. To make
it short, Will, his father, and some others went to the Tower of Babel last
year. There, all but Will met a harsh fate, as far as we can currently guess.
Will was the only one who left there alive.
After class ends, you'll be told by your friends nearby to meet them at the
usual place. This place, as Lance, the only classmate left, will tell you is
the seaside cave. Exit through the northwestern door, first - we're going to
do a bit of sidequesting. (Yeah, we got into THAT pretty fast.)
Atop the school, go north to the shining orb. As you approach, it'll become a
dark painting. Walk into it from the front to find the Dark Space. Here, you
will meet Gaia, who will foreshadow your destiny. You can save here if you
want, but this is useless otherwise. Exit when you're done. Outside, on the
west side of the bell tower, you'll be able to walk into an unseen, small area.
Examine the area to find a Red Jewel.
Head southwest to find a gap in the fence around the roof. Walk at it, going
south, to jump down to the grass. You'll find another such ledge nearby; jump
down it. Here, you'll find Gem, the jewel trader of this game. You can go ahead
and give him your Red Jewel if you want. (Note that you can just use the Red
Jewel to send it to him, if you need to clear up some room.) Jump down one more
ledge to the ground. To your west is Seth's house; to your east is Lance's. Go
into this large house and into the basement. Head to the northeast corner and
examine the top-right blue jar to find another Red Jewel.
That's all the sidequesting we can really do for the moment. Return outside
and explore a little more if you want. Go to the lower part of the southern
portion of town, near the sea. Cross the pier to the east to find a doorway.
Enter and exit this cave many, many times (it took me about 35 last time) to
have a man and a pot appear nearby. Examine the pot for a Red Jewel, your last
one for here.
Go into the cave now and speak with both Seth and Lance. Soon thereafter, Erik
will run in with some news about the princess of Edward's Castle having gone
missing. No one seems to really care (heh). Anyhow, stand beside Erik now to
continue. You will soon be forced to have Will show off his psychic abilities.
Go to the southwest corner of the room, face the green statue to the east, and
hold either the L or R buttons. This makes Will twirl his flute around, using
his telekinetic abilities to move the statue (note that it goes only towards
you!). Lance will then, shortly afterwards, have you pick the Ace of Diamonds
from a set of four cards. Pick whichever card you want - it ends up being the
right card.
Afterwards, leave the cave to find that an unusual amount of time has passed.
(Of course, no one really notes that fact.) Anyhow, go west, north, up the
stairs, and back north to the school. Go west, ignoring the entrance, to find
a familiar jump ledge. Use it to find Gem again. Speak with him and use the
middle option to hand over your three Red Jewels, which yields a Herb. A Herb
is pretty much the HP-restorative item of this game. There are only twelve, so
be conservative!!
Jump down the gap nearby and go back east and upstairs. Head to the northern
portion of town and into the house on the right, right next to the northern
exit. This is Will's house. Anyhow, go inside to find a pig wrecking the place.
As you proceed upstairs, the pig will shove you out of Kara's way. There will
be a short conversation, after which you'll want to head upstairs. Speak with
Grandpa Bill there to initiate another cutscene. Kara ends up screaming and,
after you go downstairs, you'll watch a conversation and pretty much learn that
Kara is the princess missing from Edward's Castle.
Your family, unfazed, decide to proceed on dinner. After speaking with them, go
upstairs to eat some good ol' snail pie. *vomits*
The next morning, go downstairs and speak with Lola. You'll end up with a
letter from King Edward himself, asking you to bring the Crystal Ring to the
castle. You'll also learn Lola's Melody. Forget about the Crystal Ring -- you
simply can't get it -- and exit the house. Outside, go west and north to the
town entrance. Speak with the guard and you'll be permitted out of town. Go
ahead and leave.
And so, a journey begins.

Once you arrive from South Cape, head east to find a room. Here is a large
pillar with two stairwells. First, go behind the large pillar and you should be
able to speak with someone there to obtain a Red Jewel. Then ascend the
stairwells (left, right) to the third floor. There, go west and across the
bridge to find Kara's room. Speak with the guard, then Kara for a bit, soon
after which you are forcibly ejected. Go back to the stairwells and go back
down (right, left) to the first floor and go west.
As you do, you'll find a doorway. Go into this doorway and proceed east to the
King and Queen's thrones. Speak with King Edward (the one on the left) and you
will be asked if you brought the Crystal Ring. Either choice results in the
same thing - you are sent to prison.

|____________________|______|_________________________|_______________________|
Our first dungeon, and our first Monster Bestiary chart. Pretty simple versus
some others I've had. HP indicates the enemies' health, which are marked by the
red circles in the top-right corner of your screen. DP (Dark Points) are gained
by touching the orbs dropped by most enemies. DP functions as your 1-Up thing:
get 100 DP and you'll get a life, basically, although you don't really get a
game over here (short of a power outage). The quantity is an obvious factor:
how many are in the dungeon. (That also generally means in the whole game.)
You all set?
Oh wait, we're still in prison. In here, examine the cell door, the
ball-and-chain, and the moss in the corners nearby. After examining all of
them, wait a bit and a loaf of bread will be tossed to you from above. Eat it
and, after a bit more waiting, Will's father will begin to speak to him from
within his flute. Soon, a gem will fall from above. Using Will's telekinetic
abilities (L or R), face the gem and telekinetically move it to you.
Afterwards, head to the cell door and wait for a bit. Eventually, Kara's pig
will come on by, with a letter and key tied to it. After reading the letter,
press Select and go ahead make the Prison Key your selected item. Head to the
cell door and press B to use the key, thereby unlocking the door and letting
you escape. Go south some to find two cell doors on either side. The western
door is relatively useless - all it holds is an armored, disillusioned prisoner
who thinks he can escape on his own. The other cell, however, holds a Dark
Space. Go in there and save, then, back in the "real" world, go to the south
to find the main portion of this dungeon.
In here, you'll fight three Gray Bats. Go forward and defeat each one. To do
so, you'll need to attack them (with your flute, of all things), which is
executed with the A button (usually, I think). At this point in the game, you
will probably need three hits to defeat each one. Go through the other door.
Here, defeat the Gray Bat nearby and go south, where you'll find another three
Gray Bats and a bridge. Go across to find another two Gray Bats. Get rid of
them and you'll find a gap in the rail next to the water (ignore the White
Skeleton nearby for the moment). Stand near this gap and a Tentacle Eye will
appear. Hit it a few times, then dodge its attack. (Note - Remember Will's
telekinetic ability? If you face where the missile comes from, you can block
it while twirling your flute!) A few more hits later and the Tentacle Eye will
be no more.
Telekinectically pick up the DP it dropped while the energy orb it also
released opens up the White Skeleton. Head on over to it and defeat it (nothing
to mention, other than hacking and slashing). Afterwards, pick up the DP and go
southwest to find another gap in the railing next the water. Defeat the
Tentacle Eye here, too, and go south to find another two Gray Bats. Go across
the bridge nearby, exorcising the White Skeleton on the way. On the other side,
you'll find a Tentacle Eye amongst two Gray Bats. Defeat them all and the
Tentacle Eye will release some energy, opening up another path ahead.
Additionally, you will have killed all of the enemies in this area, netting you
a Strength upgrade!
Go into the next room via the nearby doorway, then upstairs to find two more
Gray Bats. As you go to the statues blocking your path southward, a flower will
appear. Ignore it for the moment, and telekinetically move a statue, thereby
making another path south. Follow it, defeating the two Gray Bats and the one
White Skeleton on the way. As you go downstairs, the flower from earlier will
leave and two things will begin to circle around you. Ignore them, but don't
touch them unless you want damage, and just kill the Gray Bat and Tentacle Eye
nearby, then go upstairs for another Gray Bat.
Nearby should be a fork in the road. Take the western branch to another White
Skeleton. Defeat it and go back and dowsntairs. Defeat that White Skeleton and
the Tentacle Eye. Hit the switch nearby and go upstairs for an Herb. Go back
down and smack the switch again. Defeat the Gray Bat and Tentacle Eye nearby,
then continue forward for another Tentacle Eye and a White Skeleton. Defeat
them both for a Defense upgrade, as well as some energy opening up the path
forward. Go to the next room.
There, you'll soon find two Tentacle Eyes on either side of you. Quickly, but
carefully, defeat both of them. Go around the area and dodge the falling
spears (basically, walk slowly). As you do, defeat the White Skeleton and go
upstairs, through the maze. Take the right path when possible to avoid a spear
to that head of yours. A Gray Bat may walk into the trap and get stuck by some
spears. Take advantage of its plight and smack it to death with your deadly
flute. The switch nearby is rusted, so head upstairs. You'll kill a White
Skeleton and three Gray Bats as you do so. Once you can, fall off of the ledge
above the switch to pound it in, revealing a hidden room. Go in there to find a
Red Jewel.
You'll also be given a hint by an apparition here. But since you're reading my
FAQ, you need no help from it. ^_^ Anyhow, return to the previous area and
continue along the path. You'll find an area further ahead.
This area has four Gray Bats and a Brown Bat in it. Now, look at the formation
of the obstacles nearest you -- looks like |_ _| that previous diagram.
Position yourself between the two lower branches and repeatedly stab northwards
with your flute and you'll hopefully (and quite likely) not let a dang Bat
through.
After the "boss", you'll get an HP upgrade for defeating the enemies in the
room. A path ahead also will open up. Go ahead and utilize this pathway to find
a hallway. You'll find a switch on either side of you, neither of which seem to
do anything. Speak with the rose next to the western switch to get a hint to
play Lola's Melody. Equip it and, after Will's long performance, a voice will
tell you to go to the east side. Do so and, when the number changes to "3",
smack your Attack button (usually the A button) to hit the switch. If done
properly, a door will open. Go on through.
In the next room, ignore the eastern switch and head west. As you do, you'll
fight a Tentacle Eye, two Gray Bats, a White Skeleton, and another Tentacle
Eye before finding a dead end. Here, you'll fight four Tentacle Eyes at once.
This is easier than you think - if you stand between two Tentacle Eyes at the
same time, you can hit both of them. Attack fast enough and they won't even get
a hit in. Repeat with the other group and the central blocks are destroyed,
revealing a Dark Space.
Go inside of it to find a statue on your left. Speak with Gaia to learn that
you can now morph into the Dark Knight, Freedan. Do so by standing in front of
the new statue. Freedan can use telekinesis, much like Will. However, that's
where similarities end. He cannot use the flute or any of Will's other special
abilities gained later on, and vice versa. His sword is seemingly stronger and
definitely has a longer range. Anyhow, exit the Dark Space.
Remember that switch near the start of this area we skipped earlier? Head back
to that and head across. Defeat the Gray Bat and continue further to find a
White Skeleton that's just begging for an exorcism. Literally take the high
road afterwards and head across. On the other side, you'll have to fight a
Brown Skeleton. Defeat it and remember to kill its head. This opens up the
path ahead. Continue along this new path, defeating the two White Skeletons on
the way. Continue some more to find four Gray Bats, a White Skeleton, and a
Tentacle Eye further along this very linear path. After defeating them, go
upstairs and follow the spike-like things down. Go west to find a White
Skeleton, as well as a Red Jewel within the chests. Run to the east side of
the area and head north. Defeat the Brown Skeleton for a new path forward, and
a Defense upgrade for defeating all of the enemies in the room.
Go along the new path to the next area, where Freedan will transform back into
Will, if he hasn't already. Go north to the barrel and around to its other
side. Examine the bottom barrel for a Red Jewel. Further north, you'll meet
with an Itory girl named Lilly, who noticed Will changing form. As the
conversation continues, you'll learn that Lilly was sent by Lola to rescue
Will. The Elder calls to Lilly and she reverts to her flower form and floats
off.
You should go upstairs, across the prison room, and upstairs to the first floor
of Edward's Castle.

|_____________________________________________________________________________|
Go up the stairwells much as you did before, up to Kara's room. (As you do, it
is worth noting that speaking to the servants reveals that they don't give a
flying crap about Kara soon to be escaping. Heh.) Anyhow, on the third floor,
go west and across the bridge to Kara's room, which you are free to enter as
the guard is asleep. (Guess that's another guard off the payroll.)
Speak with Kara and she'll begin following you. Go back to the first floor,
speaking with some more uncaring (and soon-to-be fired?) guards if you want.
Try to leave and you'll be coerced into grabbing some food from the cellar for
your journey ahead. You'll actually need it, too. Go back to the stairwell
area and go down a floor. There, go left and examine the first open barrel to
find the Meat. Return to the first floor and leave through the open front door.
Awfully tight security for the king's castle, eh?

After leaving Edward's Castle and returning to South Cape, you'll end up back
in Will's rather unclean home. Head upstairs when possible and Kara will tell
you that this happened because of the Jackal, a hunter hired by the king and
queen to hunt you down, and he let's no one in his way. (This will probably be
the only mention of him for a long time, too.)
Soon, Lilly will arrive and tell you that Will's grandparents are safe in
Itory Village, which is her own hometown. We're soon to head over there, but
we want to grab something first.
Leave the house now and return to where Gem is (jump off of the ledge next to
the schoolhouse). Speak with him and hand over your Red Jewels to receive a
Defense upgrade.
That is all that is really left for you to do, unless you have some Red Jewels
to hunt down here (and therefore probably didn't get the upgrade). Head back to
Will's place, which Lilly and Kara have seemed to clean up rather quickly.
Speak with Lilly and opt to leave town. After a quick conversation, we'll set
off to the north.

|_____________________________________________________________________________|
You'll arrive in the village on what seems to be naught but an empty, grassy
field. Lilly will tell you to play Lola's Melody. Go to the menu and equip it,
then play it, which makes the village itself appear. Lilly and Kara will leave
you, so you can freely explore the village.
See the stacks of wood nearby? Examine the nearest one for a Red Jewel. Return
to South Cape now and speak with Gem once again to get your HP boost. After
that, return to Itory Village.
Once you return, go up the stone inclines to their peak, where you'll be able
to get into the Dark Space. Go there now to learn the Psycho Dash ability from
Gaia, which is required for in-game progress. This is little more than a rapid,
powerful tackle. To execute it, hold down your Attack button until Will starts
to flash rapidly (after the second slow flash).
After the scene there, save and exit the Dark Space. Go southeast to find a
westbound ramp. Run down it without stopping and you'll soon reach a new part
of town. Try to leave it and a voice will out to you. Return to the flowers and
you'll find a ghostly apparition; speak with it and the Elder, which is who he
is, will ask if you were summoned by your father. Tell him "Yes", and so the
same further in the conversation at the second question.
After the conversation is over, go down the ladder to the southwest and into
the cave. There, walk straight to the northern wall. Walk a bit to the right
afterwards and start hitting around with your flute. Once you hear a thump,
face the wall where it was and use your Psycho Dash there. This will open up
a cavern behind the wall. Go inside and grab Inca Statue A.
Leave the cavern in its entirety now and go back up the ladder. Speak with the
Elder and he'll give you some clues about your journey. Go down the incline
nearby to return to town and into Lilly's house (the southeastern house with
Bill and Lola next to the cliff). Speak with Lilly and you can head to your
next destination...

Upon arriving, head up to the upper ledge and you'll find some ghosts floating
around. They are rather harmless. Speak with them and go into the cavern below.
Here, you'll have to kill six Caterpillars with twenty seconds (that is one
every 3.3 seconds). Use your Psycho Dash, if just for the first few, as it is
an instant-kill for these enemies. One strategy is to first hug the west wall
and go north, which makes the Caterpillars avoid notice of you. Then simply
rush at the Caterpillar(s) closest to you and you'll strike a few at a time
with a Psycho Dash. Then just smack 'em with your flute - it takes too long to
charge up multiple Psycho Dashes.
If you fail this test, exit and re-enter the cave to start it over. Once you
succeed, grab Inca Statue B and leave the cavern. Speak with Lilly to head to
the Incan Ruins.

Once you arrive, head northeast to find a hole in the wall. As you proceed
towards it, Kara will appear, apparently having come and waited here. After a
quick conversation, it is settled that you'll go into the dungeon and Kara and
Lilly will wait outside of it. So head into the cave and your next dungeon.

|____________________|______|_________________________|_______________________|
Upon arriving, go across the bridge and through the doorway. In this area,
you'll quickly begin by fighting three Mudmen. Defeat the trio and you'll also
find a Four-Face further along the path. After it shoots its four lasers, go in
and defeat it too. (By the way, block the lasers with telekinesis if you want
to fight next to it.) Continue along the linear path, defeating another two
Mudmen as you do so. Charge up a Psycho Dash and head downstairs. There, you
will need to fight three Mudmen and three Four-Faces. Defeat them all to get a
Defense boost. Once you're done with that, go through the western exit.
You'll find five Green Caterpillars. Smash 'em and head upstairs. Defeat the
Mudman up there and start charging up a Psycho Dash. Once it's charged, hold it
for a momeny and head west. Psycho Dash into the Four-Face, then batter the
Mudman with your ever-so-deadly flute. Continue along the path to find another
Four-Face. Finish it off and proceed forward some more. You'll find a ramp
further ahead. Ignore it for the moment and continue to find some more enemies:
two Mudmen and three Four-Faces. Finish them off and continue forward to
another trio of Four-Faces. Once you defeat them, you'll get an HP upgrade and
a shortcut is made for future use. Go through the doorway nearby.
There, you'll find a chest on the ledge. Open it up to find the Blue Block.
Go back inside and use the new shortcut to go back to the room before this
one. There, go to the opposite side of the spike pit and you'll find a hole in
the floor. Use the Blue Block near it to insert it in the hole, causing some
blocks to fall from above, creating a bridge. Cross it to the next area.
Here, go downstairs and dispatch the Four-Face. Continue along. As you do,
merely take note of the gap in the railing at the side of the path; we will
use this shortly, but not yet. Continue across the bridge for a Mudman duo and
a Four-Face. Get rid of them and a shortcut will open up to the start. Ignore
it unless you need to use it. Anyhow, in the next section, you'll find a second
ledge to jump off of and a ladder; note that these lead to the same place.
We're not yet going to use the first ledge, so first proceed to the
aforementioned second ledge and jump down. Go into the next area to find a
pair of Mudmen. Go east to the staircase and start going up. You'll find some
blue-green statues there. Use the Psycho Dash to break them. At the end of this
path, you'll find a chest. Inside is an ever-valuable Herb. Go back along the
path and back outside. Climb the ladder and return to the first ledge we noted
(see above paragraph for details).
Jump off of this ledge and go into the newly-found doorway. Once inside, start
charging up a Psycho Dash and proceed to the two Four-Faces on either side of
the corridor. Hit one with the Psycho Dash, and the other with the flute until
both are gone. Charge another Psycho Dash and continue along to another two
Four-Faces. Defeat them as before, and include the nearby Mudman in your wrath.
Charge up another Psycho Dash and go downstairs. Use the Psycho Dash on the
statue in your way to get rid of it. Once past it, defeat the three Green
Caterpillars. You'll receive a Strength upgrade afterwards. Proceed north to
the next area.
As you proceed here, you'll find three Green Slimes. Defeat them and you'll
have a choice to use either the stairs or the ramp. Use the stairs and you'll
find a Floating Head amongst two more Green Slimes. Climb upstairs further
ahead to find another Green Slime trio. Go downstairs and through the doorway
to head outside.
Nearby are two Blue Caterpillars. Get rid of them and examine the skeleton
nearby for a clue, which I'll end up helping you deal with anyways. Go east
and up the ladder to the ledge above. Defeat the Four-Face to make a new
ladder, which only really serves as a shortcut. For now, go west and through
the doorway.
In this room are four gold statues and four gold tiles. These gold statues are
actually Guardians in disguise -- they are a real pain at this point in the
game, so DO NOT get very close to them. (However, you can come back here and
exit and re-enter to grind for lots of DP.) Anyhow, we want to have the statues
on the four tiles. There is no specific place for each one to go. However, you
have to use your telekinetic abilities to move them. Begin by moving either
both of the northern or the southern statues under the middle two tiles, then
put the other two under the outer two tiles. Now just get north of the tiles
and pull each statue onto a tile. If done correctly, a path to the next area
will open up. (By the way, this is permanently open now. Defeat the Guardians
if you want.) Go through it to a stairwell; continue along to the next room.
As you proceed through this room, beware of the gold tiles -- stepping on them
can activate traps that will hurt the unaware player. Try noly to step on the
ones I tell you to. Go south, ignoring the tiles, to the skeleton. Examine it
if you want and continue south and downstairs. Defeat the two Blue Caterpillars
nearby and step on the western gold tile to make a bridge. Go across it and
step on another tile to make another bridge. Defeat the Four-Face and the Blue
Caterpillar here and step on the next gold tile to end the path. Continue
along, defeating the Four-Face as you do.
On the larger ledge, go into the Dark Space and have Gaia heal you. Save, then
transform into Freedan through the statue on the left. Exit the Dark Space and
continue upstairs. Go along this path, defeating the three Four-Faces as you
do so. The third one should be the final enemy for this area, which will net
you a Defense upgrade. It will also make a useful shortcut to the near-start of
the room. Ignore it for the moment and use the doorway to get outside.
There, you'll learn the Wind Melody. Woo. Go back into the cavern and use the
shortcut. Backtrack to the outside area prior to the four-Guardian room. Go
down the ladder and proceed to previous area. Go upstairs, across the upper
area, and then downstairs. Proceed to circle area, using Freedan's sword range
to hit the Floating Head within the enclosure. After defeating it, you'll be
able to use the ramp nearby. Use it and head to the new area. There, go along
to the two Green Slimes. Defeat them and head upstairs for another Floating
Head and two more Green Slimes. Defeating them will net you an HP upgrade.
Afterwards, head south to the next area.
Here, you'll want to go to the Guardians nearby and defeat each one of the
trio. Ignore the ramp to the east for now and simply continue on to the
Floating Head. Defeating it will open up a new path. Go down the ramp and
across the river.
On the other side, head southeast and upstairs. Continue along this path,
defeating the Green Slime trio on the way. Past them, you'll find another two
Green Slimes with a Floating Head nearby. Defeat them and ignore the ramp,
unless you need to backtrack, which you don't right now. You'll soon be at a
fork in the path -- the northern path is the way to go. As you go along,
ignore the stairway and you'll soon reach a Guardian. Defeat it and open up the
treasure chest for another Herb.
Backtrack some and go up the previously-ignored staircase. Defeat the Floating
Head near the top, then continue along the hall. You'll soon come to two
Guardians, one on each side of the path. Try to activate and defeat them one at
a time and continue. You'll soon come to a Green Slime duo. Defeat them and
continue further along and east. You'll then come to a doorway. Ignore it and
go south to find some inactive Guardians. To activate these, rather than get
near them, hit the switch nearby and you'll fight them all at once. Defeat them
all for a Defense upgrade.
Go outside via the doorway to find two more Four-Faces. Dispatch them and
continue along to find two Mudmen and two Blue Caterpillars. Dispatch all four
of them and continue. You'll soon come to a doorway, near which is a Four-Face.
Defeat it to obtain a Strength boost. You'll also end up creating a shortcut
back to a previously-visited area. Ignore it and go through the doorway nearby.
Inside, go upstairs to find and defeat three Green Slimes. After them, go east
and north to find another Green Slime duo. Defeat those, too, and you'll find
a pair of Guardians. Defeat them and proceed to the stairway. Here, you'll be
able to notice the switch-activated Guardian quartet. Use the switch nearby
and defeat them.
After that battle, go across the bit of land next to the water to eventually
find a Green Slime quartet. Defeat them, backtrack, and go upstairs and down
the ramp. You'll find a doorway near where you land. Ignore it and head south
to four Floating Heads and a Green Slime. Be careful, because the Floating
Heads can swarm you quite easily. You can activate them one at a time and
backtrack away from the enemy group to defeat it in relative peace. Once you
defeat all five enemies, you'll get an HP boost.
You'll also find an exit to your south. For now, head through the northern exit
from earlier and to that area. Go west and defeat the Mudman duo, then go west
and south to a Green Caterpillar duo. Defeat them and return to the doorway and
go south, past the Dark Space, and upstairs. Defeat the four Blue Caterpillars
for a Strength augmentation. Go south from here to find your Red Jewel in the
chest. Return to the Dark Space and save.
You don't technically need to transform back into Will for this part, mainly
because I recommend using Freedan for the boss anyways, and you can proceed
there without using Will. Do so if you want, however.
Anyhow, go south two areas to an area with a bunch of gold tiles laying
around. If you play the Wind Melody here as Will, one will start glowing, as
per the #-marked tile in this diagram:
___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
| | | | | | | | |###| | | |
|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|###|___|___|___|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|___|
Now, if you used Will to come here, stand on the proper tile for a few seconds
to open up the passage. The tile does NOT need to be glowing -- you don't have
to play the Wind Melody, or even use Will. So long as you stand on the proper
tile, as per the #-marks in the above diagram, for a few seconds, you are
golden. (Pardon the pun.) Regardless of who you used, go south to the next
area.
Here, proceed along the path shortly to a ladder. Go down it, equip Inca
Statue A, and use it in front of the slot down here. Go up the ladder and west
to another ladder. Go down it and, like before, put Inca Statue B into the
slot. Go up the ladder and into the Dark Space. Transform into Freedan if you
need to, then use Gaia to heal up and save.
Exit the Dark Space and go west to the three pillars arranged like the
vertices of a triangle. Stand on the central tile to soon be blown away to
another ledge. There, go through the door for your first true boss.
=============================================================================
BOSS: Castoth
HP: 40
=============================================================================
I would prefer that you use Freedan for this boss. Using him makes the fight
so much easier because of the range of his sword and the fact that he is twice
as powerful as Will. Anyhow, we'll begin by describing your boss's attacks.
He can use a lightning-fire attack that bounces around the room. Only one is
activate at any given time. It is fairly easy to avoid, so long as you keep an
eye on it.
There is another attack that requires his claws. He'll basically try to scratch
you or something. Stay against the wall to avoid it.
Another attack involves a stream of fire going down the path. Stay against the
wall to avoid it.
Finally, your boss can shoot lasers from his head. For some reason, despite the
range of the lasers, staying in the southwest/southeast corners works just fine
to live through it. You'll notice this when he starts to shake a fair deal.
Anyhow, onto business. Our first goal should be to remove the hands. As soon as
possible, move around to the southwest corner of the pit (not the room) and get
against the wall. Quickly tap Up on the D-Pad to turn around and rapidly start
slashing at your opponent's hands. During this time, keep aware of the
lightning-fire attack. After five hits from Freedan, the hand will be gone.
Repeat this with the other hand.
For a few seconds after removing Castoth's hands, just dodge his attacks for
a bit. Eventually, his eyes will widen and you should get against the central
wall, quick-tap Up on the D-Pad, and start slicing up his face. This will keep
you from the fire-line attack. All you have to watch for at this point is the
lightning-fire attack and his lasers. Remember, once he starts to shake a lot,
head to the southwest/southeast corners.
After the lasers are done with, you'll have to get rid of his hands once more.
Remove them as before, then continue to the head again, also as before.
Continue this until the boss is finished.
~~~
After the battle, you'll transform back into Will. A door will open up on the
north side of the room. Go through it and down the corridor. Jump through the
hole at the end to find the Incan Gold Ship.

Upon arriving, head east. You can speak with the Incans if you want, though it
does very little other than reveal that they think you are their shortened
king. (I'm surprised they're still alive. Or so we'll see.) Go down the stairs
to the inside of the ship and to the far eastern side. The Incan queen will
mistake you for her husband upon speaking to her (and yet explain things you
would know IF you WERE the king). Anyhow, after the conversation, go back to
the west side of the room and downstairs. Go to the east side of that room to
find a chest.
Open the chest now and you'll find a Mystic Statue. Afterwards, go back
upstairs and west onto the deck. Climb up the ladder to the crow's nest to your
west and speak with the man up there, which prompts the ship to begin moving.
Go back to the level of the deck, inside, and climb up onto the bed. You'll
then watch Will's dream, which is a a conversation between him and Shira, his
mother.
After that, when you are woken up, you find that the ship has suddenly aged
greatly and all of the Incans are dead. Oh, the horror! </sarcasm> You will
also find Lilly, Erik, Kara, Seth, and Lance to be aboard the ship. Get onto
the deck and speak with Seth to get the Red Jewel. NOTE THAT IF YOU DON'T GET
IT NOW, YOU'LL NEVER GET THIS RED JEWEL EVER AGAIN. Return into the ship and go
to the east side of the room. Examine the Queen's skeleton for a cutscene.
After it, head west onto the deck for another cutscene.

Adrift at Sea
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
(Throughout this thing, keep an eye on your HP. It is more of an easter egg or
paradox than anything. Basically, as you go on, your HP decreases due to
hunger, which pretty much never occurs otherwise.)
Anyhow, upon awakening, speak with Kara. After the conversation, which will
possibly reveal that you've been out cold for about half a day, go into your
item menu. Equip and use the Meat.
The next day, speak with Kara and then smack a fish with the flute. Kara will
scold you and you'll just have to do some waiting.
On Day 4, speak with Kara twice and a jar will float up to the raft. Examine it
to learn out that someone you'll meet soon, named Sam, is in trouble due to
some crud about slavery. Speak with Kara two more times to finish this day.
Later, on Day 8 or so, you'll note your low HP level. (Remember my initial
note? Kara wouldn't let you eat fish, so...) Stand on the northwest corner of
the driftwood and keep smacking the fish for food while Kara's back is turned.
Examine the fish and continue this until your HP is full. Speak with Kara and,
after that, smack some more fish and Kara will finally decide to eat fish.
On Day 12, pretty much follow the plot until the next day.
On Day 18, you'll pretty much do the same. When the sharks come, just wait,
as they won't attack you. (And you can't hit them.)
On the final day (Day 21 or 28, I think), Will will suddenly fall unconscious
and narrate a bit of the story for you. You'll soon end up on land after a
bit.

You'll shortly listen to a conversation, basically saying that Will fell
unconscious due to the scurvy (a lack of vitamin C). Anyhow, upon awakening,
speak with Kara. After that conversation, leave the house and go east. Examine
the pot for a Red Jewel, then go speak with Kara again. Now just leave town and
head to Freejia.

As you enter this new town, you'll be coerced by a stranger to stay at the
hotel. A wise decision, indeed. Why? Well, begin by following the man and Kara
to the hotel and going inside. There, you'll find Lilly! After the quick talk,
go upstairs and to the far room. Examine the pot for a Red Jewel.
Go outside and to the far east. Nearby is a door; stand one space to the west
of it and go due south. You'll jump into the grass. Follow this path to a
previously-unseen area. Speak with purple-clothed man there to obtain another
Red Jewel.
Return to the main street and head to the western side of town. As you do, take
note of the northbound alleyway. Go along it and examine an overturned trash
can to receive an HP Jewel, which is basically the same as the HP Upgrades from
the previous dungeons.
Ignore the purple-clothed people back here and simply head to the east of the
ones near the trash can. You'll find a doorway into a house. Go inside to find
a Dark Space; use it if you want. Exit the building and go east until a man
blocks your path. Go into the building nearest this location and head upstairs
and to the roof. Jump off of the eastern ledge to bypass the impeding man from
earlier.
Go towards the northeastern corner of the area and you'll find a doorway into a
slave trading cave. Inside, speak with the purple-cloaked man on the left and
you'll be allowed in. Speak with the prisoners to eventually learn that Erik is
in town, as a laborer, and is in the westernmost house of the back alleys,
kidnapped.
Anyhow, go outside and south. Head up the ladder and jump off this roof to
another, then enter the house. Speak with the laborer behind the plant and
leave. Go back to the western alleyway from earlier and speak with the two
purple-cloaked individuals. Tell them where the laborer is for a Red Jewel.
Go to the western portion of this back alley and to the house where a person
keeps slamming the door. Once such happens, examine the door to hear Erik.
Smack the door with your flute to knock it down (O_o) and barge on in. Speak
with Erik to learn of the Diamond Mine.
After this, return to the city entrance and go into the house nearest it. Go
to the east side of the roof to find Gem. Hand over your Red Jewels to get a
Strength upgrade if you have ten or more Red Jewels -- you can have a total of
fourteen by now.
That's it. Head out of town, heading for the Diamond Mine.

| Floating Eyeball | 5 | 1 | 23 |
| Green Lizard | 10 | 2 | 27 |
| Purple Land Worm | 6 | 1 | 6 |
|____________________|______|_________________________|_______________________|
Soon after arriving in the mine, you'll find a Green Lizard. Defeat him and
continue along to a Brown Land Worm. Defeat it, too, much like the Tentacle
Eyes from Edward's Prison. Continue along some more to two Green Lizards and
another Brown Land Worm, then another Green Lizard. Defeat all of the enemies
in this room, with the last-mentioned enemy being your last, to augment your
HP. Go through the doorway in the corner afterwards.
Here, go east to find a Green Lizard. Defeat it and take note of the elevator
nearby. We'll use it, but not just yet. Continue for another Green Lizard, with
another one to your west. After that Green Lizard, speak with the prisoner.
Strike his chains to release him. Afterwards, go north to find a new enemy, the
Floating Eyeball. Beware its laser beams, which CANNOT be blocked
telekinetically, and hurry up and defeat it. Go west and north to another Green
Lizard, then east and south to another. You should be spotting some Floating
Eyeballs nearby now. Ignore them, but dodge their lasers. Go to the east side
of their little pen and defeat the Brown Land Worm, which releases the Floating
Eyeballs. Pop 'em, then go east and to the southwest to find another pair of
Floating Eyeballs. Head into the eastern enclosure to find a Green Lizard among
the three Brown Land Worms. Defeat them and free the prisoner as before to get
some useful advice.
Afterwards, go south to two Floating Eyeballs. Defeat them and the Brown Land
Worm nearby, then head east and north to find your Herb within a treasure
chest. Go back south and west to find -- you guessed it -- a Green Lizard and
a Brown Land Worm. Go north to find another of the latter, with a Green Lizard
and a Brown Land Worm atop the ramp nearby. After the slaughter, hit the switch
nearby and go southwest. Stand in front of the rock nearby -- it is differently
colored -- to find a Brown Land Worm. Defeat it for your Strength augmentation,
then hit the switch nearby. Also go northwest to find and hit another switch,
which opens a path forward. Go to it and utilize it.
In the next area, go east and defeat the Green Lizard. Go across the bridge and
west to find another Green Lizard. Go south to a Floating Eyeball. Defeat it,
then go northwest and downstairs. Ignore the side path and continue west to
find a Brown Land Worm. Defeat it, as well as the Green Lizard to your north.
Now, head to the northeast corner here and look for a tile that ruffles Will's
hair a bit. Psycho Dash at the proper tile to find a prisoner; for freeing him,
you'll obtain three Red Jewels at once, all sent to Gem.
Go east now and defeat the Brown Land Worm to get a Defense increase, as well
as access to a Dark Space. Go inside and use Gaia to heal and save, then use
the statue on the left to transform into Freedan. Exit the Dark Space and go
around and through the side path we previously skipped.
Go south and west to find a wooden maze kind of deal. Go along it and defeat
all of the enemies -- one Brown Land Worm, two Green Lizards, three Floating
Eyeballs -- as you cross it. On the other side, head east and upstairs, then
across the pair of ramps. Afterwards, go north and dispatch the Brown Land
Worm. Go down the ramp or the stairway nearby, then dispatch the pair of Brown
Land Worms and the Green Lizard nearby. Go east and through the doorway after
you've dealt with them.
Go forward to the inactive Floating Eyeballs, which activate when you get
near them. After defeating them (or just the northwest one), the path ahead
will open up. Go along it, defeating a pair of Floating Eyeballs and Green
Lizards on the way. In the northeast corner, you'll also find a Green Lizard,
which opens up the path ahead upon his death. Continue along and defeat the
two Brown Land Worms and the Floating Eyeball. This will open up the path
ahead and give you an HP upgrade (upon defeating all enemies).
Go north along the new path to find a Dark Space. Go inside and transform back
into will. Go to the north wall, along the most-indented portion, and watch for
Will's hair to wave in the wind. Once you find that tile, face the wall and hit
it with a Psycho Dash. Go through to find another Dark Space. Inside, transform
into Freedan and grab the Dark Frier -- erm... Dark Friar move for Freedan.
This is a move that requires holding of the Attack button, much like with
Will's Psycho Dash. This attack, however, releases a powerful beam of energy
that shoots across the screen! Quite the useful ability, in my opinion.
Anyhow, you'll need to do some backtracking. Once you reach the area with the
two ramps, but the impeding wooden divider in-between, you're in the right
spot. Go down a ramp and hug the northern wall to make a Brown Land Worm
appear. Use Dark Friar on it to defeat it and remove the divider, in addition
to augmenting your Defense. Use the ramp again, this time going all of the way
across, then go through the unused doorway.
In this next room, free the laborer to obtain the Elevator Key. You'll need to
backtrack to the elevator room from earlier. There is a shortcut, though. Back
in the room with the four switches, go to the west strip to jump on down. Go
to the elevator, now, and use the Elevator Key. Go into the next area. There,
go south and west, onto the wooden lift, and across the gap.
After crossing the gap, go south to find three holes, only two of which you
can access. Take the western one. Go around the room, fighting all six Purple
Land Worms - I believe they were in the corners and the north/south-central
areas. After defeating all six, your Strength will increase. Go to the
southeastern corner and examine the sparkly thing to find the Mine Key A.
Return to the previous room and go into the eastern room. Here, traverse the
wooden maze. As you do, defeat the five Green Lizards and four Floating
Eyeballs. At the end, liberate the laborer for the Mine Key B. Go back to the
previous area, use the Keys on the gate, and go to the next area.
There, you'll find some more laborers to free. Sam, who was the laborer from
the note at sea and the laborer in the trading cave, will teach the Memory
Melody. This new melody can remedy Lance's amnesia. He'll also take away two
items you won't need anymore.
Now, you'll need to do some backtracking to Freejia. Fun.

After arriving from the Diamond Mine, with the Memory Melody, go into the
hotel. Near Lance, use the Memory Melody to remedy Lance's amnesia and you'll
receive some conversation to read. Afterwards, speak with Erik. You'll then
decide to visit Neiol, an inventor, and Will's long-lost cousin.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Neil's Cottage
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Upon arriving, Neil and Will will greet each other. After a short conversation,
you'll have to change out Neil's four inventions, which are crappier versions
of their modern-day counterparts. There is an oxygen tank (only allows a minute
underwater), an airplane wing, a telescope, and a camera (30-minute developing
while the picture becomes a picture) from left to right. Examine them and speak
with Neil. Opt to head on over to the Nazca Painting.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Nazca Painting
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Figure I'd give an update. As per actual history, the Nazcas were an ancient
civilization that lived on the west coast of South America, primarily where
modern-day Peru is. They are quite well-known for their large ground paintings,
or geoglyphs, of animals. These weren't actually discovered until the 1900s or
so. I can assume this game is actually taking place around 1000 ~ 1500, so...
You know. Just thought I'd impart some knowledge to you.
Anyhow, upon arriving, the group will split up, for the most part, and check
out the Nazca painting of a condor. Speak with everyone. Speak with Kara and
follow her, then speak with her again. Head to the southwestern corner of the
area to find a spirit not unlike that of the Moon Tribe. Follow it until it
disappears, then head to the northern part of the area.
Here, speak with Neil and you'll learn that the stones are actually placed in
relation to the Cygnus constellation. (Cygnus is the constellation of the
swan. In 1993, one year before the making of this game, one its stars proceeded
into the nova phase. Why do I mention that? Remember back and continue in the
game.)
Now, remember back you were drifting at sea with Kara and saw a red star in the
constellation of Cygnus? (Red stars are often in the nova phase, hint hint.)
Well, you are now asked to learn where the star was in relation to the painting
of the condor - it was at its left foot. Go there and, once everyone is
standing around something, examine it and you'll be teleported away.

Our first dungeon with over 100 enemies in it. Nice, or not so much, depending
on how you look at it.
Anyhow, you'll start on a platform high up in the air. You can go around this
specific area and speak with the Moon Tribe ghosts to learn some things. You
can also head to the northwestern corner to find a Dark Space. There are also
four paths springing out from this area. Take the northeastern path first,
although it may not really matter all too much, which is why I provided the
little boxes.
O=====================O
| Northeast Section |
O=====================O
Upon arriving, go south to find two of the Ball Snakes. Smack 'em good, then
continue going south, avoiding the lasers from the Blue Sentries as you do.
At the U-turn sort of area, you'll have to fight off another Ball Snake duo.
Now continue north to find a pair of Blue Sentries. Approach them from the
left or right, then attack, continuing such from the very front, to avoid
damage. (Note that lasers cannot be blocked via telekinesis, but the rocket
punches can.) Once they're defeated, start charging up a Psycho Dash.
Next up, head further along the path to another two Blue Sentries. Hit one
with the Psycho Dash, then defeat both of them as you did earlier. Go upstairs
to the higher platform, then defeat the two Ball Snakes. Go down the other
staircase and continue along, defeating the four Ball Snakes and two Blue
Sentries as you go. Be sure to grab the Red Jewel from the higher, northeastern
platform. Go to the southern portion of the area to find a ledge. Jump.
Here, you'll be in the Back Sky Garden. First, head north to find two Red
Sentries (dumber, but stronger versions of the Blue Sentries). Defeat them in
a similar manner, then go further north to a Jumping Ball Snake. Beware the
balls that fall when it dies, then go northeast. Here, in this general area,
you'll fight two Jumping Ball Snakes, one per side alcove, and two Red Sentries
along the main path. Once they're dealt with, go south and east.
Go along this path in a general southward direction, being wary of the
undefeatable fireballs bouncing off the walls. You'll soon reach a Red Sentry.
Defeat it, go to the other side of the room, then go to the other side of the
next room to find a Jumping Ball Snake. Go south of this room to another Red
Sentry. Defeat it and take the south path to a Jumping Ball Snake. Return to
the intersection, go east to the next room, then south off the ledge.
Here, you'll find a Blue Sentry nearby. Defeat it, then grab the Herb from the
chest. Return back to the Back Sky Garden, return to the intersection, and take
the west path. Go along it to finish off the final two Jumping Ball Snakes of
this particular area. Doing so will net you a Defense boost. Continue to the
ledge and to the other side.
Here, go over to the Ball Snake and defeat it for an HP upgrade. Walk over to
the statue nearby and activate it, probably striking it to do so. The sword the
statue holds will then be released to try and cut you. Hit it with your flute a
few times to get rid of it. Use your telekinetic abilities to move the statue
out of the way, then grab the Crystal Ball from the chest.
Backtrack back to the start and put the Crystal Ball into a hole in the floor.
Go to another path now, preferably the southeast path.
O=====================O
| Southeast Section |
O=====================O
Go south now, defeating the Ball Snake as you do. Further south, you'll need to
circle around to find and kill a Blue Sentry. Do so and climb the ladder. Cross
the ledge and go back up the ladder. Here, kill the Blue Sentry to the north,
and the one next it on another path. From there, go south to find a ramp and a
sword-holding statue. Ignore the statue and jump go up the ramp, then use it to
cross the large gap.
On the other side, go north to find another Ball Snake. Defeat it and hit the
statue nearby. Defeat its sword by hitting it a few times, then move the statue
to find a semi-hidden room. Go inside to find a Dark Space. Heal, save, and
transform into Freedan within it, then exit the Dark Space and the room it is
in.
Outside, as Freedan, go east and defeat the Ball Snakes and the Blue Sentry.
Jump off of the ledge nearby to reach the Back Sky Garden.
Go east and defeat the Jumping Ball Snake, then further east is another pair.
After that pair, start charging up a Dark Friar. Proceed over to the Red Sentry
and start firing Dark Friars at it until it is dead. (By the way, attack from
the north. It does two hits like that, for some reason.) Go east and off of the
ledge.
In the regular garden, go east and defeat the four Ball Snakes you find on the
way. Charge up another Dark Friar and proceed to the Blue Sentry. Defeat it,
striking after the Dark Friar as needed, and you'll get a Strength upgrade. The
south path also opens up, so go that way to the Back Sky Garden via the ledge
there.
Once you arrive once more, go west and kill the Jumping Ball Snake trio. Then
head east to find three Red Sentries with a Jumping Ball Snake among them.
Next, chrge up a Dark Friar and go north. Hit the Red Sentry with it, then
proceed to finish it off. Once that happens, enjoy your HP boost. The chest
will also get unblocked, so head on over to it for a second Crystal Ball.
Backtrack to the beginning of the area with the spirits, insert the Crystal
Ball into a slot, then go along the southwest path.
O=====================O
| Southwest Section |
O=====================O
Upon arriving, head south and defeat the Ball Snake. Go west for another two
of them, as well as a Blue Sentry. Defeating the latter will open up a path
north. Follow it, killing the Ball Snakes as you do. At the end, jump off of
the ledge to the Back Sky Garden.
Upon arriving back here, go west and to the chest; you'll find a Red Jewel
within it. Go east and hit the switch, then return to the main garden.
Back here, head west and eliminate the ground-level Blue Sentry. Defeating it
creates access to the other two via a staircase. (As if I needed it.) Defeat
the two Blue Sentries at the top, then go south and defeat the Ball Snake to
make a shortcut. Then head west for a Blue Sentry trio. Their deaths will net
you a Defense boost. Go north, over the ledge, and to the Back Sky Garden.
There, look around for a switch. Use a Dark Friar to hit from outside the
pillar enclosure, then return to the main garden.
Back here, you can go into the Dark Space, but don't switch back. Just use it
to heal and/or save. Go south and east to run down a ramp. You'll see some
statues. Telekinetically move one closer to you to make a path, then circle
back and run down the big ramp, never stopping. On the other side of the area,
more or less, go to the Back Sky Garden.
Here, go east and north, charging a Dark Friar as you do. Hit the Red Sentry
you come across with it, then finishing it with your sword, to defeat it and
open up the path ahead. Go east and slice up the two Jumping Ball Snakes, then
head south to find another Red Sentry ripe for the slaughter.
See that switch the last-mentioned Red Sentry was on? Well, first go east and
defeat sword of the statue. Then telekinetically move the statue onto the
switch. Begig charging up a Dark Friar and head east and north. Defeat the
trio of Red Sentries here with a combination of Dark Friar(s) and/or sword
slashes. Upon their death, your Strength will be augmented yet again.
Now, go two rooms west, one south, and one west. Use the ledge here to return
to the main garden. There, move the statues out of the way of the ramp
telekinetically, then go up to the ramp's peak. Run to the far west side of the
area to find your chest. Open it for Crystal Ball number three!
Now, backtrack to the start of the dungeon. There, insert your new Crystal Ball
into a hole and go for the northwestern path next.
O=====================O
| Northwest Section |
O=====================O
Upon arriving, go south and murder the Blue Sentry. Go upstairs and down the
ramp. As you run, hold Up on the D-Pad to use the ramp properly. On the other
side of the abyss, go west and defeat the two Blue Sentries as you go. Also be
sure to take out the local Ball Snake nearby, and use a Dark Friar on the Blue
Sentry past the barrier. Then go north to find a Ball Snake. Defeat it and
ignore the ramp; just use the ledge to go to the Back Sky Garden.
There, defeat the two Jumping Ball Snakes and return to the main garden. Yeah,
that's all back there ... for now.
Remember the ramp we sort of skipped? Go up the stairs next to it and go down.
As you are in the air the first time, immediately hold Left or Down,
preferably, on the D-Pad. We don't want to cross the second ramp. On this path,
head south, killing the two Ball Snakes on the way. At the end, use the ledge
to reach the Back Sky Garden.
There, go east and defeat the trio of Jumping Ball Snakes. Go north, taking the
first possible westbound branch. Go along it, killing the Jumping Ball Snake on
the way, with another pair further west. Go north for the final one of this
dungeon. You'll also find a Dark Space. Use it to heal and/or save, not to
transform (unless you're NOT Freedan), and leave it.
Backtrack now: go south, circle around to the east and to the intersection,
then south. Back here, go to the southeast and defeat the Red Sentry and the
Jumping Ball Snake. Go west, south, and east to find a pair of Jumping Ball
Snakes and a Red Sentry. Defeat 'em all, then start charging a Dark Friar.
Go east and hit the statue with the Dark Friar to release the sword. Destroy
it by hitting it, then pull it north with a quick tap of L/R. Get on the west
side of it, then pull it onto the switch. Proceed into the newly-opened area.
There, take out both Red Sentries to obtain a Defense augmentation. Go off of
the local ledge to go to the main garden again.
Ignore the ramp when you disembark and first go northeast for a Ball Snake,
northwest for another with a Blue Sentry. Return to the ramp and use it,
holding Up on the D-Pad while you go. On the other side of the gap, open the
chest to find a Herb.
Drop down from the platform, defeat the Blue Sentry, then go north and dispatch
the Ball Snakes. This should net you an HP upgrade. Use the ledge here to go
back to the Back Sky Garden. There, go east and south to another ledge, back to
the main garden.
Here, go up the ramp, then run down it. Hold Down on the D-Pad as you go to hit
the other ramp over the gap. Defeat the statue's sword here, then move the
statue away from the chest. Inside, you'll find a Crystal Ball, your last one
if you've followed this walkthrough. Now, to some backtracking...
Drop down from the ledge and go north and west to the Back Sky Garden. Go east,
north, east, and north some more to find a ledge. Drop down it and go back to
the main garden. Go up the ramp and all of the way across the gap, then back to
the start.
O===========================O
| The Rest of the Dungeon |
O===========================O
Once you have received all four Crystal Balls, return to the start area and
place them into the empty hole or holes, depending on whether you ended up
putting them as you went or not. Anyways, utilize the Dark Space afterwards to
heal and save. Go to a previous Dark Space if you are not Freedan, then go up
the new bridge in the main area to find your next boss.
=============================================================================
BOSS: Viper
HP: 40
=============================================================================
This boss starts with you having to run up a collapsing bridge. It is short and
not exactly easy to fall off of, so don't worry. You'll see your boss on the
other side.
Weird name for a bird, eh?
Anyhow, we'll first describe your opponent's attacks. He'll fly around the area
a bit before an attack. One attack is a spinning feather you can out-run. It
will split up eventually into four feathers that you can out-walk.
Another attack is a stream of feathers, which can only be fired to the
southwest, south, or southeast. Try to stay out of the bird's way for this
one. It also makes your opponent remain still, so if you already were out of
the way, take this as a free pass to do some damage.
Another attack involves the opponent's firing of six feathers in one direction.
As with the previous attack, stay out of the way, generally out of his direct
facing.
To defeat your opponent, it will be a mostly dodge-and-slash sort of deal. A
long one at that - just get him when you can, and charge Dark Friars when you
can't.
~~~
After the battle, you'll transform back into Will, if applicable. Jump off of
the platform using the entrance ledge, then you'll watch a few scenes. After
them, you'll be in the second dungeon in a row.

I'll go ahead and note that there is absolutely no need to defeat any of the
enemies here. Not any need whatsoever. You'll get no upgrades, and meager
amounts of DP. Only worry about them when they're in the way, or you want to
seriously grind for the extra lives.
Anyhow, upon arriving, go east. You'll find a skeleton as you go. Ignore it --
it can't hurt you, and you can't hurt it. Literally -- smack it with your
flute and watch. Continue east to find the Dark Space. Ignore unless you want
to save (you shouldn't have to heal yet). Continue east, ignoring the stairs,
and heading into the next room.
There, you'll find a ghosty Kara. Ignore her and just open the chest for a Red
Jewel. Leave the room and go downstairs.
Here, go to the west and ignore the skeletons. You'll soon find two stairways.
Go the western one and go into the next room to the east to find a Red Jewel
within a chest. Speak with the ghost Erik in the opposite room if you want,
then head back downstairs twice.
Go to the far eastern end of the room, ignoring the two stairwells, and into
the room there. You'll find Lilly, who will now accompany Will. Return to the
previous room and go into the first possible staircase. There, go west to the
other staircase and use it, then repeat once more.
Here, go east to find some Blue Slimes. Pass or defeat them, and continue to
the end of the hall to find two staircases. Take the eastern one to find three
coffins. Examine the westernmost one and Lilly will enter it, giving you the
Purify Stone. Return downstairs and take the other staircase.
Here, go west. Defeat or ignore the Gray Blobs as you go. Take the farthest
staircase to find a Red Jewel in a chest. Go back downstairs and east to the
other staircase. Use it and go west to find Lance and Neil, if you want. Go
east in the room with the staircase and take the staircase at the end.
Here, you'll find quite the weird pool, which was one of the few features I
could vividly remember from my days of playing this when I was four. (Though
how I got this far is beyond me.) *coughs* Anyhow, equip the Purify Stone,
get next to the pool of water, and use the Stone. This will eliminate all of
the enemies from this area, replacing them with a bunch of humans that were
previously enslaved and made into monsters. You also will not find the ghost
versions of your group.
Go west, take the first staircase upstairs. Then go east and use the stairs
at the end. Then go west, up the staircase, into the far doorway, and east and
up the far staircase. Go east and upstairs again, then west and the first
staircase down. Speak with the man here for a Palace Key. Exit the room, go
west and upstairs, then east and upstairs to return to the top floor. Save and
heal at the Dark Space, then go to the far west side. Use the Palace Key on the
door to reach a long corridor, after which you'll find Mu.

| Golem | 26 | 2 | 25 |
| Gray Blob | 8 | 1 | 14 |
| Wraith | 22 | 2 | 15 |
|____________________|______|_________________________|_______________________|
Upon arriving in your third consecutive dungeon, and the most annoying thus
far, go east and defeat the Blue Slimes. Then head south and deal with the
Golem - beware its sporadic rocks tosses; block them with telekinesis. Go south
some more and defeat the two Blue Slimes, then continue to the south border of
the area for another Blue Slime. Circle left for a Golem, then defeat it. This
will make a passage ahead open up. Use it.
Go east now and dispatch the three Blue Slimes, then continue forward to a pair
of Golems. Defeat them and continue along the path, exiting to the right when
possible.
Here, walk some more eastward to find the ever-annoying Wraith. It will
teleport around randomly, shooting non-linear lasers. Hit the thing when
possible, and telekinetically block when you can't. Repeat until dead. After
that, go southeast to find a Golem near a treasure chest. Ignore the chest
itself, as it is empty, but go ahead and shatter the Golem. Go north and east
from here to find a Wraith amongst three Blue Slimes. You'll also find a ring
of energy here - generally, just ignore these unless I state otherwise. They
can be moved with physical attacks or telekinesis, and merely bounce you at a
high speed opposite of the direction you approach it. Anyhow, start charging a
Psycho Dash and go southeast to find two Golems. Defeat them.
Go south to find another energy ring. Telekinetically pull it out of the path
and advance south to defeat the Blue Slime. Go further south and carefully work
your way along this mini-maze, defeating the Gray Blobs as you do. As you do
that, the path ahead will open up more and more. After the mini-maze, go south
and west to find two Golems. Defeat them one at a time, then go west from the
original encounter point for a Blue Slime. Then proceed further westward to the
next area.
Here, go southeast to find a few retracting spikes. Wait for them to retract
before dashing across (you can cross both if you dash) -- just don't touch the
spikes, as these will damage you. Defeat the Blue Slime ahead, then go east.
Ignore the northern doorway, but do note it, as we'll need to come back here
shortly. Go east to find a Wraith. Defeat it, then telekinetically pull the
southern energy ring to you.
Proceed along the previously-blocked path southward. When you reach the fork,
begin by first going south. Defeat the Golem pair, then go south and west.
Defeat the Gray Blobs (five in all) along this path. Once you reach the
intersection, go north and defeat the Golem and the Wraith. (Be sure to block
attacks with telekinesis. It is too cramped here to do any form of dodging.)
Continue along this path, defeating another five Gray Blobs. Then backtrack to
the intersection.
From there, pretty much just go west to the next area. Ignore the chest on the
way, as it, too, is empty. In the next area, you'll find naught but too
statues. Find the area where their facings intersect, and examine the area
around there to find a Statue of Hope. return to the previous area. Backtrack
to the southeast corner, then the northeast corner, then head west back to the
room we skipped earlier.
Inside this Room of Hope, go north to the altar. Equip the Statue of Hope and
"use" it to place it there. A few ghosts will soon appear, giving you a weird
message. (Rama is not, in reality, a sun god of any sort. He is merely a hero
depicted in Hindu religious works.) Anyhow, after that scene, exit the area to
find a lower level of the area to be accessible, as the water there has
receded!
Outside, go east and down the ramp. Continue forward some, defeating the four
Blue Slimes here, then go back up the ramp. Go west and north to the previous
area.
Here, go east and north. Defeat or otherwise hurt the Wraith on your way to the
ramp. At it, go down, west, and south. Defeat the Golem and head west, dashing
over the spikes once they recede. Nearby, you'll find a Dark Space. Go inside
and transform into Freedan. Leave the Dark Space, after saving and/or healing,
and head north. Defeat the three Blue Slimes, then backtrack to the ramp. Go
south, west, and south some more to the next area.
Here, go south and east to find a Golem and a Blue Slime. Dispatch both of
them, then go south at the next fork. Defeat the Blue Slime, then charge up a
Dark Friar. Use multiple Dark Friars to defeat the Golem atop the blue
incline, then run south into the energy ring. After bouncing into it, hold Up
on the D-Pad to get where the Golem was. Go to the other side of the platform
and downstairs. Down here, watch for a Wraith and defeat it when you can. West
of that area is the exit to the next one. Use it.
In this area, go west to find another five Blue Slimes. Four of them are inside
some rock pens, with one being free. Dispatch the ones that are trapped (as you
can reach them, but not the other way around) before attacking the free one --
doing so frees the other four. After getting rid of the Blue Slimes, head
southwest to the next area.
Here, defeat the Blue Slime from afar with a Dark Friar, if you'd prefer, then
go along the path. Stand east of the first switch, smack it with the sword,
then dash along the path and past the spikes. Redo this if you failed to pass
then spikes, then proceed east and to the next area.
As you enter, start charging up a Dark Friar. Go along the path east-ish and
watch out for a Wraith. Hit it with a Dark Friar, then finish it with a simple
few sword slices if it is needed. That's pretty much it for this area. Proceed
along the linear path to the southwest corner and the next area.
Here, go west to find two more Blue Slimes. Continue along this path, killing
the remaining two Blue Slimes as you go. Additionally, beware the multi-colored
laser balls -- only try passing them when they are almost fully retracted.
Once you exit this narrow path, go north to the next area.
Here, go into the Dark Space further ahead. Head on over to the Will statue to
transform into him and to get the Psycho Slider technique, one of the best
methods of attack in the game. To use it, simply press your Attack button
whilst dashing. This can do serious damage to enemies, as it is slightly more
powerful than your standard flute smack, and can often hit enemies twice. You
can also use it to slide beneath gaps in walls and such. Anyhow, be sure you
have transformed into Will, then heal and save. Exit the Dark Space.
Outside, we need to start backtracking a bit. Go south, past the narrow path
as before, then head east. Go north when possible to find a gap beneath the
wall. Psycho Slide beneath it to the other side. Then go east, south, west,
south, and east to find an energy ring. Smack it back to the ramp you skipped
earlier, which you couldn't have gone up anyways without it. Put the ring
south of the ramp and trampoline off of it, holding Up on the D-Pad you go
northward, to the ledge above.
Here, go west and get rid of the Blue SLime, then continue and defeat the two
Gray Blobs and the Golem. Further along, you'll find the next pair of Gray
Blobs. Then head south from there for a whopping four Golems. Better start
learning to abuse the Psycho Slider move, and/or try to make them move north,
though they rarely do. After the battle, head west to find another three Gray
Blobs. This will end up revealing a statue here.
Head south and west from there. Go past the spikes and defeat the Blue Slime.
Go past the next coupling of spikes and defeat the Golem to reveal a second
statue. Go north and defeat the Blue Slime to finally receive a stat boost,
this one for Strength. *phew* You'll be getting some more of them soon
enough, don't worry.
Backtrack to the spot where the statues' facings intersect -- it is in a gap
between the rocks next the spikes. Examine the proper spot for a Statue of
Hope. Go east, past the spikes, then north. Go west, south, east, and down the
incline. Go east, north, and west. Psycho Slide beneath the hole from earlier.
Here, go west to the next area. Hit the switch here to lower the spikes and go
along the path, exiting to the north. In the next area, go north and up the
ramp. Defeat the Blue Slime and Psycho Slide beneath the gap here. Go west and
north.
You'll soon reach a down-going ramp. Use it, go east, then north to the next
and final Room of Hope. As before, place the statue on the altar to lower the
water in the dungeon to its lowest level, making (most of) the rest of the
dungeon fully accessible. Yay.
Go outside and south, down the ramp. Go to the chest to find a Red Jewel, then
go up two ramps to the highest level, then southeast. Psycho Slide beneath the
hole you used earlier, then go west. Descend the ramp, head east, then go down
the next ramp. Head east to the next area.
As you enter, prepare to fight another two Wraiths. After that battle, you
should obtain a Defense augmentation. Afterwards, go north to the next area.
There, go north. Take out the Wraith on the way, then head down the path to
the east when possible. At the next turn, defeat the Blue Slime and continue
to find a pait of Golems. Finish them off for a Strength upgrade. Open the
chest nearby, for this one is NOT empty, and you'll obtain one of two Rama's
Statues.
Backtracking time! Go south, west, and south against to exit this portion of
the area. Go south and west to the next area. There, go west and Psycho Slide
beneath the gap. Defeat the Wraith nearby, then head southwest to find another
one, as well as two Blue Slimes. Defeat them all for an HP upgrade.
Go up the ramp nearby to find the Dark Space from earlier where you got the
Psycho Slide. Heal and/or save there if you want.
Anyhow, head to the north side of this area and to the next area. There, go
further north and defeat the two Blue Slimes and the lone Wraith. Further north
is a ramp. Go up it and go along this path, defeating the Golem as you go. To
the east, you'll find a Golem, Blue Slime, and a chest. Defeat the two enemies
for a second HP upgrade. Then open up the chest for the other Rama Statue. Go
back down the ramp and south to the previous area.
Here comes a load of backtracking, just to become Freedan, so get ready.
Head south, then Psycho Slide beneath the gap to the east. Go east, up the
ramp, then west and up another. Go east and Psycho Slide beneath the hole.
Head east, north, then exit this area from the northeast corner. Go east,
north, and east some more to the ramp. Go west, south, and west. Go past the
spikes to find the Dark Space. Save/heal if you want, but be absolutely sure
to transform into Freedan -- not a requirement, but REALLY recommended.
¯¯¯¯¯¯
Now, leave the Dark Space. Go east, past the spikes, and then head north, east,
south, west, and south to the next area. Go south, east, south, and east again
to a ramp. Use the energy ring to go up the ramp, then head over to the other
of the ledge and downstairs. Go west to the next area. Exit that area by
heading west and exiting to the southwest.
In the next area, go south and defeat the Wraith. At the south border of the
area, defeat the next Wraith for another Defense upgrade. Hit the switch and
head to the other side of the path, and into the next area. Go east, south, and
west to and through the exit. Then go west some more, then north to the next
area after navigating the narrow path.
Finally! You are back at the Psycho Slider Dark Space. Use it to heal and save,
as what is probably the second-hardest boss in the game is coming up.
Go south and down the ramp, then go south to the next area. There, continue
south, then east to the next area. Continue following this linear path to find
a larger-than-usual gap in the wall. Go into this room and insert the Rama's
Statues on both altars. This ends up transforming the room.
Head to the northern portion of the room now. Speak with the statue, who is
Rama. After a quick conversation, have a quick conversation to get a story on
the background of Mu. Rather depressing. It's about to get worse. Go speak
with Rama again. You'll get a Mystic Statue and the path ahead will open. Go
along it to the next area.
=============================================================================
BOSS: Vampire (x2)
HP: 40 each
=============================================================================
First thing to note. Erik is in this room, and he has a bomb strapped to him.
(No, he is not a suicide bomber.) He somehow became these vampires' hostage,
and this bomb will go off in 140 seconds (that is a little over 2.3 minutes).
Letting the timer run out will provide nothing for you but death - you don't
even get to see an explosion.
Anyhow, to the fight.
Each vampire will be able to stand on an intersection to and fire off a line of
fire or electricity on the paths around it. The blond vampire only fires off
one shot, but the black-haired one will fire one off on every available path.
These are quite fast and cannot be outrun. The only way to avoid them is get on
another path.
Another attack is more of a counterattack. Upon being hit, a vampire will emit
four orbs of energy to circle around it. That is what makes this boss a pain --
you have to hit, back up, and still avoid the elemental line above. What makes
it worse is that the vampire will probably move around after the orbs start
circling it and hit you.
Finally, the last attack this duo can use can only occur when they both are
still alive. They will get opposite each other and make a big ball of energy
that is obscenely powerful versus their other attacks. When you see it, dash
over to the other side of the area. I'm not kidding - this will quickly
eliminate your HP because there is very little delay between noticing what
will happen and it happening.
Your fight plan, otherwise, is pretty basic. Since we have two to go after,
start with the dark-haired one, as he is more dangerous. Once the fight
starts, go up to the vampire you want to go after and hit him about six-seven
times, then run away. Continue tracking that one and, when possible, hit it
two or three times, then back off again. Following this pattern will soon
defeat your opponent. Repeat with the other one.
Some final notes. Firstly, you see those little pits around the area?
Freedan's sword can actually go across them horizontally, so consider this.
Also, be prepared to use some Herbs in this fight. Not a bunch, just one or
two. This boss will get pretty hectic pretty fast, so don't fear. If you
somehow empty your supply to where you have less than three Herbs left, you
better reset the game. You want to save their limited number (twelve total)
for emergencies.
~~~
After that tough battle, Freedan will soon transform into Will. Once he does,
head over to the back of the bomb and examine it. Cut whichever wire you want,
as it won't matter, to defuse the bomb. Afterwards, go south and out of the
area. You'll watch some cutscenes before reaching the Seaside Tunnel.
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Seaside Tunnel
)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Just follow the cutscenes, really. One of the earlier scenes requires you,
when they mention dinner, to find dinner. Just go east and examine the
mushrooms. Then pretty much continue.

After about a month within the Seaside Tunnel, your party will finally rise
from belowground to find Angel Village. After the quick talk, go down the
nearest well. Speak with Lance to advance the story - go ahead tell him to
give Lilly a necklace. (Just do it, okay? And don't be completely freaked.
These people are at least 14 ~ 15 years old.)
*coughs* Anyhow, speak with the other members of your party for some rather
obvious facts, then exit the well. Go west to the next one to find the village
itself. You may want to speak with the people around here to learn about them
and such, and why they are like they are.
Upon arriving, go to the easternmost stairwell and head down. Go west from
there and go over the ledge, then into the next room. Examine the fountain for
a Red Jewel. Leave the room and head west to find Gem. Speak with him and hand
over your Red Jewel(s) to, if you have enough Red Jewels, get the Psycho Dash
powerup. Woo-hoo.
Continue by going into the staircase behind him. You'll find a room on the
left. Go into it to find a Dark Space; use it to save. Then exit that room
and go to the far right. Go through the big door to start looking for Kara and
the artist Ishtar.

|____________________|______|_________________________|_______________________|
Upon arriving, start going to the right. Defeat the three Cave Bats and the
Blue Skeleton on the way. Go through the lone doorway downstairs. Proceed to
the left now, defeating the four Cave Bats and two Blue Skeletons. Go through
the other doorway. Here, proceed to the right. Defeat the two Cave Bats and
the Blue Skeleton trio to meet up with a Strength upgrade. Go into the lone
door.
Proceed first to the other side of the room. Kill every enemy here -- three
Cave Bats, two Blue Skeletons, two Immobile Lizards -- before entering any
doorways. Going to the right from the entrance to this room, go into the first
doorway you can go to. Defeat the single Blue Skeleton, then go through the
rightmost door.
Here, defeat the two Cave Bats and two Blue Skeletons, then return back
upstairs. From there, go into the staircase on your immediate left. Here, back
in the multi-doorway room, go into the rightmost doorway. Defeat the Cave Bat
and the Blue Skeleton duo in there, then return upstairs. Go left and into the
door with the flames on either side, with the flames blowing in opposite
directions.
Defeat the two Cave Bats, Blue Skeleton, and Immobile Lizard in here. Once you
do, your HP will increase. Go into the next, and only, unused doorway. You'll
be in a dark room, now. Be wary of the Cave Bats, and make sure you get all
six of them. Go through the door at the far right side of the room when they
are all dispatched and you've obtained a Strength boost.
Here, in this supposed dead end, go to the right side of the room. Stand
between the first and second flames, which just so happen to have flames
blowing in opposite directions. Examine the spot between them to find a hidden
stairwell. Use it.
In this room, you'll find three Cave Bats, two Immobile Lizards, two Blue
Skeletons, and one Skull Laser Gun. Defeat all eight of them to receive
another Defense boost. Slide through the gap in the wall here to find a
treasure chest. Open it up to obtain a Red Jewel, then Psycho Slide back out
and go through the doorway nearby to find the Wind Tunnel.
In here, you'll be completely buffeted by wind. Unless Will dashes or Psycho
Slides, he will be slowly pushed against the wall. Go slowly forward to the
first Skull Laser Gun. Psycho Slide into it (don't worry, you'll have enough
recover time if you keep holding Right on the D-Pad). Repeat as needed until
the enemy is dead, then repeat with the other one to get an HP boost. After
that, just slowly continue through the door to your right.
Go along this long corridor now. As you do, defeat the nine Cave Bats, six
Skull Laser Guns, and the two Blue Skeletons. Once you eventually do, you'll
get another Defense upgrade. Then Psycho Slide through the eastern gap.
Here, go to the other side of the room, between the final two flames. Examine
the spot there to find another hidden doorway. Use it to proceed forward. In
the next area, go the ledge behind the right waterfall and to the other side.
Go through the second door and examine the red jar on the left for a Red
Jewel, then go into the rightmost door.
There, speak with Ishtar to learn that he'll release Kara ... if Will can
solve his puzzles. (It makes me wonder why Will just doesn't thoroughly whip
him, though. *shrugs*) Anyhow, go through the northern door.
Here, enter the first room and memorize the details. Exit and go into the next
room. Select whatever has changed with the arrow cursor -- in this case, it is
the lone eastern jar. It changed colors.
For the next puzzle, repeat this. However, what changes this time is the jars
to the left of Will.
For the next puzzle, you need to open up the chest in the first room for an
Herb. It is not only critical to the puzzle, but you'll lose it for good if you
don't grab it now -- remember, only twelve are in the game!! For the next room,
select the chest (seeing as you were given a hint by Ishtar) to be correct.
Open it up for the Red Jewel, the difference between the two. (And, yes, you
keep both treasures. ^_^)
The next puzzle is quite possibly more of a fail than the rest. You won't
notice anything different about the rooms, except the fact that, in the second
room, wind is blowing Will's hair and clothes around.
Exit the room now and head all of the way west to Ishtar's room. For some
reason, he trapped himself in a painting. Open the chest for some Magic Dust,
then leave this room to the waterfall room. Go into the room nearest the
waterfalls and use the Magic Dust on the painting of Kara to free her.
After a few more scenes, you'll be taken to the Floating City.

In all honesty, when I saw "Floating City", I thought it meant in the air.
*sigh* Hm. It actually is kind of like Pacifidlog Town from the Pokemon
Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald games, too.
Anyhow, upon arriving, Will will tell you what happened since finishing up in
Angel Village. You've taken up residency in the house of Luke, a fisherman that
is letting you stay at his place while he goes fishing. In the house, leave.
Outside, go south to the raft that can take you in four different directions.
Head west and examine the northwesternmost pot to find a Red Jewel. Go into the
house here, too, to find a Dark Space. Then go to the southeastern corner of
the village to find the Gambling House. Enter and examine the northeastern pot
here to find the other Red Jewel. You can also find Gem in here to get some
upgrades, if you didn't get them due to lack of Red Jewels or something.
Afterwards, return to the entrance of Luke's house, but don't go in. Go west
to another raft and into that house. Speak with Lance and the other man, his
amnesiac father, to get some info. (Wonder what happened to the Memory Melody?)
Until talking until they repeat themselves, then exit and return inside Luke's
house.
After the cutscenes and you regain control, open up your inventory. You'll find
"Lance's Letter" in there. Equip it and read it to learn that Lance went to
the Great Wall of China. This was to find some medicine for his father, and
the medicine is within, unbeknownst to him, a vile enemy known as the Sand
Fanger. *groans* Go to the southernmost portion of town and leave to China's
Great Wall.

| Fireball | 22 | 2 | 33 |
| Green Snake | 13 | 1 | 20 |
|____________________|______|_________________________|_______________________|
Upon arriving at the Great Wall of China, head to the right. Defeat the Archer
and the two Fireballs. Continue to an impassable ramp. Once there, use the
stairwell nearby to go down. There, head to the left. Defeat the Fireball and
the four Archers - the Psycho Slide is a valuable technique here. Regardless of
HOW you took them down, you'll then need to go down the leftmost hole.
Down in this corridor, proceed to the right side of the area, skipping all
ladders and defeating the ten enemies (three Archers, seven Fireballs) on the
way. Go back to the left side of the room, then proceed back to the right,
going up the second ladder. In that room, go the left and defeat the two
Archers, then proceed to go back to where you entered the room. Jump down the
ledge and, back in the sandy corridor, proceed to the right and up the other
ladder.
Upon entering the room, examine the shiny spot on the floor nearby for a bit
of the necklace Lance made for Lilly. Defeat the four Archers throughout the
room, then proceed to the next room on the right. There, defeat the Fireball,
then go left and defeat the three Archers. Continue going left to another trio
of Fireballs. Continue to the left side of the room and proceed to the next
area.
You'll arrive in the area where you first reached the impeding ramp, but on the
other side of it. Go to the right and defeat the Fireball to receive a Defense
upgrade. Proceed right, along the wall's top, to the next area. Beware the
spears that extend from the wall as you go -- no one likes to be poked in the
leg.
In this area, proceed to the right. As you do, be ready to use your
telekinesis, as there are a few Archers ahead. You'll soon come to the two
Archers. Defeat the one you can get to, then proceed down into the sandy
corridor below. Bombs away~!
After landing, miraculously unhurt, you'll find yourself in a statue-filled
room, much like that of some Egyptian tombs. Anyhow, go to the right and look
at the rightmost statues -- one has a skin-colored face behind its face shield.
Defeat this Archer and proceed into the next room.
There, you'll find another two Archers, as well as a Fireball. Defeat them and
take the leftmost staircase. Up there, open the chest to find a Red Jewel.
Return downstairs and go to the right, through the next stairway you see, to
find two more Fireballs. Defeat them and ascend the other staircase on the
right side of the room.
In this next room, walk to the left to find an Archer. Stand to the south of
him and defeat him, then head to the left. As you do, defeat the Archer and the
Green Snake you find. Continue along to find another spear-filled area. Pass it
and proceed up the middle staircase.
In that room, get rid of the Fireball and two Green Snakes, then return down to
the previous floor. Go to the left and up the stairs. There, continue up the
stairs to the next room. There, go to the right to find two Archers and two
Green Snakes. Get rid of both pairs of enemies, then proceed to the door that
is second from the right. As you do, pick up the necklace piece, then proceed
through the doorway to the next area.
There, hit the switch nearby to set off a reaction, which is unseen to your
left. Go downstairs and through the doorway second from the left. Up there,
defeat two more Archers and head to the left staircase. Go up there and defeat
the Archer from earlier, then go to the right and defeat the Fireball. If you
had beaten all of the enemies in this area, your HP will be augmented. Go to
the right, now, and avoid the spears as you proceed to the next area. As you go
there, you'll watch a short scene before being fully allowed to the next area.
Anyhow, next area. There, go to the right and through the door. Go left to find
a treasure chest with an Herb inside, then go to the right and defeat the
Archer. Afterwards, continue along to the Green Snake. Stand against the wall
and defeat it. Proceed back to the outside area. There, go to the right and
down the four ramps, then immediately use your Psycho Slider technique. If you
did it right, proceed to the right and into the door. Defeat the three Archers,
one Green Snake, and lone Fireball within. Hit the switch and go past the
spear, then go through the door.
Here, go to the right and proceed down the ramps as before. However, just let
yourself run to the far right side of the area, then proceed to the next area.
Here, proceed to the right to find some doors and a large gap. First, take the
leftmost staircase down a floor. Defeat the two Green Snakes there. Return to
the upper floor and proceed through the rightmost door. Defeat the other pair
of Green Snakes here.
Return to the large gap area. If you go due south from the middle door, you
should hit some obstacle. Jump off of the ledge by using the gap to the right
of this obstacle. Upon landing, defeat the two Archers nearby. You'll then
notice that this room has five gaps in it -- jump down the middle one to find
another large gap. Jump down from where you landed - don't move to the left or
right.
On that ledge, you'll find a Dark Space. Go inside to learn the Psycho Spin
technique. This technique activates when you hold the Attack button until Will
is flashing rapidly, much like before using a Psycho Dash. However, don't yet
let go of the Attack button -- instead, alternatedly press L and R to make
Will spin. Soon after that occurs, press a direction on the D-Pad to move
quickly. With this, you can ascend steep inclines and damage enemies!
After gaining your technique, use Gaia to heal and/or save, then leave. Drop
down the gap to the bottom floor. Defeat the trio of Green snakes to obtain a
Defense boost, then go to the left and upstairs. Outside, go west to a
previous area.
Here, go left some to the ramp. Use the Psycho Spin to get over it, but not
the next ramp, so as to be able to go through the door. Inside, go to the left
and defeat the four Green Snakes and the lone Fireball. Afterwards, take the
staircase on the left side of the room.
Here, you'll want to quickly take a few steps south, because you will likely be
hit by a Fireball. Defeat it, then go to the right side of the room. As you do,
be sure to eliminate all of the enemies (six Fireballs and three Green Snakes).
Afterwards, head back to the left side of the room and smack the switch. Go
around and past the spear next to the wall, so as to reach the other switch.
Hit that switch to get rid both spears, so run quickly to the left side of the
room. Defeat the Green Snake and the penned-up Fireball. Further left, you'll
find another pair of Archers. Dispatch these remaining enemies for an HP boost.
Proceed to the left side of the room and use the Dark Space to heal, save, and
transform into Freedan.
Outside the Dark Space, go to the right. Smack the switch and go through the
door you get to. In that room, go right and ignore the next door. Smack the
switch past the obstacle twice and go through where the spears where. Go
through the door at the far right end, then exit to the right.
Here, go past this screen and exit to the right once more. In the next area,
start charging a Dark Friar and proceed to the right. You'll find an Archer
out of normal sword reach, but three Dark Friars will get rid of him. Charge
and fire them, then go through the newly-opened doorway.
In this room, you'll find a Fireball. Defeat it if possible, although it will
probably just go to another room. Go to the left and defeat the quartet of
Archers, then continue further to the left and through the stairwell.
In this area, proceed along the pseudo-maze. Hit the first statue to move it
out of the way, then go into the bottom path and face to the right. Use your
telekinesis to move a currently-unseen statue to you, and then hit it only
one time. Proceed to the top path and get above the second statue. Smack it,
then get above the third statue and move it a slight bit with telekinesis.
Get on its row and pull it some more. Go along this newly-made path to find
another two statues. Get on the same row as the fourth, but behind the wall,
and pull it to you. Get above it and smack it, then proceed along your new
path. Smack the switch at the end and backtrack, killing the six Archers in the
area. Afterwards, exit to the right.
Here, go past the spear sets to a doorway. Ignore it momentarily and you'll
fight the evasive Fireball from earlier. Defeat it for a Strength augmentation,
then use the stairs nearby. Proceed to the right to the next area.
Here, go to the right and down your first stairwell. Go around this room and
defeat the nine enemies (six Archers, two Fireballs, one Green Snake) before
going any further. Afterwards, take the unused door on the right side of the
room. You'll arrive in another statue room -- go around the room and hit the
statues to find that six are actually Archers. After defeating them, go near
the entrance and into the Dark Space.
Inside the Dark Space, heal, transform back into Will, and save. Exit the Dark
Space and go backtrack to the outside of the Great Wall. There, Psycho Spin
past the ramp and continue right to the next area. There, jump off of the first
ledge you see, then repeat, to find a sand pit and another boss fight.
=============================================================================
BOSS: Sand Fanger
HP: 40
=============================================================================
To begin with its attacks... With one of them, you'll find see a quicksand pit
appear and the Sand Fanger will launch from it and go way up. This initial
launch can damage you, as well as its downward attack. As it goes up and down,
are able to hit it, but do so safely.
Another attack is similar to the above, but instead of going straight up, the
Sand Fanger will arch over to the middle or so of the area, then go to the far
side. You can damage it here, but it isn't worth the bother.
The Sand Fanger's other attack is where you'll really find damaging it easy.
Another quicksand pit appears, but the boss just sticks his head out. During
this time, until he sticks his head back in the ground, just ignore all else
that happens and continually hit his head. During this attack, the boss may
release a mini-version of it and/or a richocheting rock ball. Both have 3 HP
and can be dealt with easily, which they should, lest this battle go on too
long and they start to really become frustrating.
Your offensive strategy is relatively simple. Simply go around and dodge the
boss's attacks. In the meantime, try to hit the boss when safely possible, and
never pass up the chance for the attack mentioned above! Don't try using any
of your special powers, either; just stick to plain attacks.
~~~
After the battle, you'll be rewarded with another Mystic Statue. The path ahead
will also be opened up. Go forward to the ladder, climb it, and go the right.
Go through the doorway to find Lance. After some cutscenes, you'll be back in
Watermia.

Upon your arrival, head to the southeastern Gambling House and speak with Gem,
who is inside. If you have 30 Red Jewels, you'll be given a Dark Friar upgrade,
which also happens to be your final Red Jewel reward for a while.
Next up, exit the house and go to the northeastern corner of the raft. Wait
there for a minute or two, usually, to find the lotus pad. Ride it to another
platform. Speak with the man in your path and tell him "Yes" twice.
After speaking with the man in the straw hat, you'll begin playing the Russian
Glass Player game. Your opponent, the straw hat guy, will drink first. Then it
is your turn. Should you drink the poisoned glass, you will obviously lose. The
poisoned glass is on the far right, and you'll be given a warning due it being
poisoned. Keep swapping back and forth like this until your opponent
moronically kills himself on pride -- damn fool.
After the game, you'll be given, in the man's will, four Kruks. Speaking with
the wife, to note something, will reveal that she is not really saddened by
this -- she's talking about joy. Quite the dysfunctional marriage.
Afterwards, go back over to Luke's House, where everyone is. After giving them
the news, speak with Lance and Lilly, then Neil, to proceed. Your party,
except Lance and Lilly, will cross the desert to Euro.

Once you arrive, you'll be inside the Rolek mansion, which is owned by Neil's
parents. When you regain control of Will, leave the guest room and the mansion
as a whole. Go south to the market area. Speak with the woman next to the Red
Apple stand to get a Red Apple for free. Go back into the mansion and into the
leftmost room. Give the Red Apple to Ann. Repeat this so that Ann has been
given three Red Apples and you'll be given a Red Jewel.
Return to the Red Apple stand and go east to find a line in front of a store.
Go into the building on the right, then exit and QUICKLY get to the end of
line, cutting two places ahead. You'll now have to wait a while (easily five
to seven minutes) before you can enter the store. Inside, you can drink both
potions. The left one, the Life Potion, boosts your HP. The other potion, the
Dark Potion, will power up Freedan's Dark Friar, if Gem didn't upgrade the
move already. Exit this building.
Go to the building east of here and inside. Go to the second floor to find a
Dark Space. Use it if you want, then exit the house. Go north to the alley,
then into the house next to the blue-haired woman. Speak with the men in there
to get the Mountain Temple marked on your map.
Exit this house and go west, right into the wall. Examine the wall to your
north to find a Red Jewel. Get out of the alley, then go north. Go past the
first intersection. There is an unseen alcove where two houses are. Examine
around there to find the alley connecting the two. Once in the alley,
scrutinize the alleyway: at one point you should be able to press Up on the
D-Pad to enter the building. Once within, you can speak with the person there
to get an upgrade in Strength! (Thanks to Xenesis Xenon for this info!) After,
go back outside and west, north, and go up the ladder there. You'll find a
shrine and a statue there. Examine the statue to find a hidden room, as well
as the secret of Neil's parents. Examine the southeastern barrel for another
Red Jewel, then exit out of here and the alcove.
Go south to the intersection from earlier. Use the unused path and you'll soon
find someone jumping in front of a window. Go into that house to speak with
Gem. Hand over your Red Jewels, then head to the southeastern corner of town.
Go back to Watermia.

|____________________|______|_________________________|_______________________|
Don't expect a ton of help in the way of enemy locations - this bunch really
loves to move around. I apologize for the inconveniences this will definitely
cause.
Anyhow, after entering the entrance area, take out all eleven enemies, which
consists of seven Purple Skulls and four Spiders. This will end up augmenting
your Strength. Afterwards, head to the northwestern exit.
In this area, go around and defeat the twenty-four enemies -- six Purple
Skulls, ten Yellow Skulls, five Spiders, and three Flute Players. Go around
the area and dispatch all of them -- remember, you can use Psycho Spin to use
the ramps. Once all twenty-four enemies are gone, you'll get a Defense upgrade.
Return to where you arrived in this area. Take the western northbound path
north, then west, then south, then Psycho Spin across the ramp. Go into the
Dark Space and switch to Freedan. Leave the Dark Space and head west, then
north. Outside of the mushroom zone, you'll find two northbound paths. Take
the western one of the two.
Proceed to the next area, where you'll fight fourteen enemies. They consist of
five Purple Skulls, six Spiders, and three Yellow Skulls. Defeat them all for
an HP augmentation, then return to the entrance of the area. From there, head\
north and east to the next area.
There, go east. You'll fight ten Spiders, five Yellow Skulls, and five Purple
Skulls as you go. Defeating them all nets you a Strength upgrade. After that,
continue along to the Dark Space. Use it to heal and save, but don't change
into Will right now. Instead, after doing your business, head out of the Dark
Space and go south, then west to the next area.
There, open up the treasure chest to find a Red Jewel. Start backtracking to
the Dark Space in the previous area. You'll find two westbound paths. Take the
southern one, then continue west to the previous area. There, go west and up
the second northbound path, then west, south, and west to the next area.
There, go around and defeat the whopping twenty-six enemies. These consist of
ten Purple Skulls, nine Yellow Skulls, and seven Spiders. Once you dispatch
the whole ground, you'll receive another HP upgrade. You'll also get a
shortcut back to the beginning by defeating one of the Yellow Skulls. Ignore it
for now unless you need to leave.
Upon clearing the area, return to the entrance. Go south as far as possible,
then go west and north. Go west, skipping the northbound path, then head west,
north, east, north, then as far east as possible. Go north and do the little
circle thing to the chest. Open it up to find a Mushroom Drop. Using the
shortcut made earlier, return to the entrance of the area, then proceed to the
previous area.
There, go east, north, east, south, east, then north all of the way. You'll
find a dead end on the left. Head to the end of it. Equip and use the Mushroom
Drop to create a path forward. Use it to reach the next area.
There, begin heading along the linear path to the east. As you do, defeat the
fourteen enemies along the way -- six Spiders, three Purple Skulls, three
Yellow Skulls, six Spiders, and two Flute Players. You won't get a stat boost
yet, as part of the area remains inaccessible for the moment. For now, just
exit to the east.
In this area, you'll find fifteen enemies. There are six Flute Players, five
Yellow Skulls, three Spiders, and a single Purple Skull. After getting rid of
them all, you'll gain an HP upgrade. Afterwards, head as far east as you can
to reach a dead end to find some of these enemies, then go north and west to
find a chest. Open it to find the second Mushroom Drop. Take it and proceed
back to the previous area.
There, go west, north, west, north, and east to reach another dead-end. Go to
the end of it, then equip and use the Mushroom Drop you just got. This will
finish the path ahead. Cross it, heading east, then go north. Defeat the Purple
Skull, then go west. Charge up a Dark Friar as you do so, then take out the
Yellow Skull across the currently-uncrossable gap. Then go north and defeat the
Spider, then go east and north to the next area.
Here, you'll find a daunting number of enemies -- thirty-nine. These consist of
thirteen Spiders, twelve Yellow Skulls, eleven Blue Skulls, and three Flute
Players. Head around the area and defeat them. You'll receive a Defense boost
once you eventually do.
After that daunting (and bloody?) task, return to the start. Go north, east,
south, east to the end, north, and east some more to find a mushroom-filled
zone. There, go into the Dark Space. There, you'll learn the Aura Barrier
technique. If I remember correctly, it is executed like Will's Psycho Slide,
but with Freedan. It basically creates a temporal shield around you. Also be
sure to heal and save in here.
Afterwards, exit the Dark Space. Go west, south, west, north to the end, west
to the end, north, then east and across the ramp to find some mushrooms. Go
east across them, then further east. At the end, go south as far as you can,
then go west and jump another ramp. At this mushroom, use the ramp nearby to
arrive at a treasure chest. Open it up to receive the third and final Mushroom
Drop. After receiving it, go west, across the ramp, then north as far as you
can go. Next up, go east, across another ramp, then west and south as far as
possible. Continue to the previous area.
There, go south as far as possible, ignoring the first path, then head west to
another dead end. There, go to the end of it. Equip and use the Mushroom Drop
to finish up the vine bridge. In this previously-unvisited section of the area,
you'll find three Purple Skulls, two Yellow Skulls, a Flute Player, and a
Spider. Go around and slice them all into oblivion. As a reward, you'll get a
Defense augmentation. Return to where the vine was regrown, then go west to the
end, then north and west to the next area.
Go along the linear path in this area. Defeat all eight enemies -- four Yellow
Skulls and four Flute Players -- in the area to get a Strength upgrade. Woo.
Exit the area to the northwest.
In this area, you'll find a treasure chest. In this last room of the dungeon,
you'll find a Teapot within the treasure chest. Backtracking time!
Go to the previous area, then follow the linear path back to the area before
it. There, head east, ignoring the first southbound path, then use the ramp.
Go west and south to the next area. There, go south, through the mushrooms,
and into the Dark Space to the east. Transform into Will and exit. Go west and
north to the two paths; take the eastern one northward. Psycho Spin at the
ramp on the right, then continue east. Go across the mushrooms, south, and east
to the next area. Head to the southeast corner of there to find the exit and
the end of this dungeon.

Back in Euro, head back to the Rolek mansion. Go into the middle of the three
rooms and use the Teapot to cause a scene to occur. After it, Neil will leave
the party to become the president of his parents' company, and Hamlet
(remember Kara's pig?) will join the party. Speak with Kara to head west to the

You'll arrive in a seemingly-uninhabited village. Head to the northeast corner
of the area to find a Dark Space you can save in. Go into the eastern house
afterwards and examine the southern pot to find a Red Jewel. Exit the house
and speak with Kara, then head into the other house. Speak with Kara again to
watch a scene.
In short, the natives come by while they sleep and tie them up. As Will and the
others are getting prepared for the roast, Hamlet sacrifices himself so as to
feed the natives and not let Will, Kara, and Erik meet the same fate. The trio
are then released.
Speak with the northeastern boy and show him your map. The temple of Ankor Wat

O----------------------O
| Outside - Entrance |
O----------------------O
Upon arriving, you'll be outside. There are fifteen enemies around here. You'll
find seven Blue Creatures, five Flies, and three Bushes. The Blue Creatures
must first have their head destroyed when it is extended -- if you fail to get
rid of it in that time frame, the head is healed. Once the head is gone, kill
the body. The Bushes are darker versions of the normal bushes around the area;
change your T.V. visual settings if you can't find them. The Flies are
demonically fast, so it may take a while to finish them. After defeating all of
the enemies, you'll get an HP upgrade. Enter the north-central temple when you
are done.
O---------------O
| Inside - 1F |
O---------------O
Inside, defeat the Orange Demon Head nearby. Afterwards, start charging up a
Psycho Dash and head east to the next room. Initially hit the Stone Warrior
with a Psycho Dash, then kill it, as well as the other one around here, too.
Go to the northwest corner of this little room and go upstairs, then use the
ramp to the reach the chest on the other side of the room. Open it for a Red
Jewel. Go east to the next room. Defeat the Orange Demon Head and two Stone
Warriors there, then exit to the north.
Go north and dispatch the Orange Demon Head. Psycho Spin across the ramp to
soon encounter a Purple Demon Head. Remember that it moves only along the
walls and will speed up as it gets damaged. Defeat it and go north. You'll
soon find a Stone Warrior and a Scorpion. Defeat them and head further north
to find two Purple Demon Heads. Dispatch them, then go north to a pair of
Scorpions. Defeat them both. Defeating the eastern one will open up the path
ahead. Afterwards, Psycho Slide beneath the wall to find a pair of Stone
Warriors and an Orange Demon Head. Defeat them all to receive a Defense
upgrade. Go north to the next area.
Here, go up to the ledge and defeat the pair of Purple Demon Heads. Go left to
find a ledge. Drop off of it to the ground below, which opens up beneath you to
take you to a lower area.
There, walk southwest to the stairs and use them. Head west to find a few
enemies amongst the pillars -- to be specific, three Orange Demon Heads and two
Purple Demon Heads. Defeat them and head to the northwest corner of the area to
find a Scorpion. Defeat it for another Defense boost. The path forward also
opens up -- proceed.
Here, head southeast somewhat to find an Orange Demon Head. Smack it to death,
then go east to find a Scorpion quartet. Defeat them all to receive an HP
upgrade. Go back left afterwards and exit to the southwest.
Here, go south and Psycho Slide beneath the gap in the wall. You'll then need
to fight two Stone Warriors. Beware of their initial leap, as it'll cause rocks
to fall. Afterwards, defeat them and the two Purple Demon Heads. Slide south
after the brawl. This time, you'll fight two Stone Warriors and a lone Purple
Demon Head. After that fight, Psycho Slide south to find two Scorpions. Defeat
them, then circle around to the south. Use the stairs to reach the chest, in
which you'll find an Herb. Reach the ground and Psycho Spin at the ramp from
the north. Upon landing, defeat the two Stone Warriors to receive a Strength
boost. Continue south to the next area.
Here, go southeast to find an Orange Demon Head and a Scorpion. Finish off both
them, then continue east to find a room filled with pillars and ten Purple
Demon Heads. Defeat them all, then go east and upstairs to find a Scorpion.
Finish this little bugger to get a Strength upgrade. Use the newly-path to
reach the garden to the north.
O--------------------O
| Outside - Garden |
O--------------------O
This area is kind of open-ended. You'll basically have thirty-nine enemies in
this area -- twenty-three Bushes, eight Flies, eight Blue Creatures. You'll
want to head over to the Dark Space and use Freedan and his powered-up Dark
Friar to be able to manage to really destroy groups of enemies. You'll find a
Bush in the northwestern corner of the area, against the north wall, that has
to be hit with a Dark Friar to finish it. You'll also find a skeleton in the
southeastern area -- examine it to just some stuff for the heck of it.
Once you defeat all thirty-nine enemies, you'll get a well-earned HP upgrade.
Since you should be done here, use the north-central door to get back into the
temple.
O---------------O
| Inside - 1F |
O---------------O
Upon entering, defeat the Stone Warrior nearby that is about to jump. Then
head east to find another pillar-filled area, in which you'll find seven
Purple Demon Heads. Defeat them all and head northeast to the next area of the
dungeon.
Here, go north and defeat the two Stone Warriors, then proceed north some more,
charging a Dark Friar as you do. Further to the north, you'll find a pair of
Purple Demon Heads and a pair of Scorpions. Defeat them to get another Defense
upgrade, as well as an opened path forward. Use it.
Go north and into the Dark Space. Here, you learn the Earthquaker move. It is
executed by pressing the Attack button while jumping off of a ledge. This will
temporarily stun enemies on the ground, leaving them open to attack. Heal and
save here, then return to the entrance room of this section of the temple.
Here, head upstairs and west. Defeat the Stone Warrior on the ledge, then drop
down from the ledge, using Earthquaker. Proceed to the west and north along the
path quickly to avoid being blocked by a Stone Warrior. Shatter it for its
trouble, then exit to the north.
Here, go north and get rid of the Orange Demon Head, then continue forward to
find two Scorpions. Smash 'em good, then continue north to find another set of
enemies consisting of two Stone Warriors, two Purple Demon Heads, and one
Orange Demon Head. Their defeat will give you some more HP. After receiving
your upgrade, go upstairs to the chest. Open it for a Red Jewel. After getting
it, head south to the fork in the road. Go along the east path to the next
area.
This area is pretty simple -- go east and defeat the Scorpion duo to receive
a Strength augmentation. Afterwards, continue along back outside.
O--------------------O
| Outside - Garden |
O--------------------O
Here, run up the main staircase and jump off of to find a lower area on either
side of them. Altogether, you'll find four Blue Creatures there, so you'll have
to use the stairs a few times. After defeating these enemies, head north to the
next area.
O---------------O
| Inside - 1F |
O---------------O
Here, charge up a Dark Friar. Go northwest to find three Orange Demon Heads.
Defeat them all (a feat possible with an upgraded Dark Friar), then head around
the corner and east. Ignore the staircase on the way. Head south soon to find
a pair of Purple Demon Heads. Defeat them, as well as the Orange Demon Head
nearby, to get a Strength upgrade. Continue south to the garden again.
O--------------------O
| Outside - Garden |
O--------------------O
Head down the staircase, then use the one to the east upon landing. In this
little alley, defeat the Bush for a Defense boost. Examine the spot where the
Bush was standing to find Black Glasses -- if you don't find them, wait for a
little sparkle to appear and examine that spot. Now, backtrack inside the
temple.
O---------------O
| Inside - 1F |
O---------------O
Backtrack to the staircase from earlier that we skipped. Equip the Black
Glasses, then head on up.
O---------------O
| Inside - 2F |
O---------------O
Normal, due to the crystals in this room, navigation will be near-impossible
due to the fact that the room would be a blinding white color. But, with the
Black Glasses, we can see just fine in here. Wander around and defeat the five
Purple Demon Heads, and be sure to NOT fall into any of the holes before such
happens. After defeating them all, fall down the hole on the east side of the
area.
O---------------O
| Inside - 1F |
O---------------O
You should land next to a Dark Space on a ledge. Go into it. Transform into
Will now, then heal and save at Gaia. Exit the Dark Space, then jump off of
the ledge. Backtrack to the stairwell and go back up.
O---------------O
| Inside - 2F |
O---------------O
Remember that eastern hole you fell through to reach the Dark Space. Well, go
there now, but don't go into the hole. Continue east to find a gap beneath the
wall. Psycho Slide beneath it.
Defeat the Orange Demon Head, then head around to the left, ignoring the
staircase, to find another Orange Demon Head. Get rid of it for an HP boost.
Jump down the hole nearby.
O---------------O
| Inside - 1F |
O---------------O
In this area, grab the Red Jewel from the chest. Jump down from the left and
head south, west, north, east, south, east, and back upstairs.
O---------------O
| Inside - 2F |
O---------------O
Go east again, and slide beneath the gap in the wall. Head around to the left
and go upstairs now.
O---------------O
| Inside - 3F |
O---------------O
Head east and defeat the pair of Purple Demon Heads. Afterwards, head to the
west. There, you'll soon find a Stone Warrior and an Orange Demon Head. Get rid
of the both of them and Psycho Slide beneath the gap. On the other side, head
east and north. Defeat the Orange Demon Head, then go east and upstairs.
Defeat the pair of Purple Demon Heads nearby, then head west and south to find
an Orange Demon Head. Get rid of it, too, then go east. Ignore the hole, then
head south and west. You'll soon find four enemies -- three Purple Demon Heads
and a Stone Warrior. Crush them all thoroughly to get another HP upgrade.
Continue to the end of the hall to find a chest; open it up for a Red Jewel.
Backtrack to the hole you skipped earlier and jump on down.
O---------------O
| Inside - 2F |
O---------------O
Get rid of the local Purple Demon Head and circle around and along the path.
Defeat the Stone Warrior, then proceed forward and west to an Orange Demon
Head. Defeat it and head west to a Stone Warrior and two Purple Demon Heads.
After defeating all of them, your Defense will be augmented. Use the northwest
stairwell to proceed.
O---------------O
| Inside - 3F |
O---------------O
Here, go east, south, east, and upstairs.
O---------------O
| Inside - 4F |
O---------------O
Here, go along the linear path until you eventually reach the blue spirit to
learn of the future. After this semi-lengthy cutscene, you'll be given the
Gorgon Flower.
O----------------------------O
| Backtracking out of Here |
O----------------------------O
Backtrack to 3F.
Here, go south and jump off of the platform. Go around east and downstairs
(remember to wear the Black Glasses). There, go west, north, east, then jump
down the hole to 1F.
Here, jump off of the ledge and go south. There, continue heading south into
the other portion of hte temple. There, go west and north to the next area,
then circle around and exit that area to the south. Go southeast from there
to find the garden doorway. Go through it and make your way around
counterclockwise to the other temple entrance. There, cross the dual-staircase
and exit to the south. Outside, go south and opt to head to the Natives'
Village.

After the quick cutscene, exit the house and go outside. In the alley to the
west, you'll find the Dark Space for this area. Save in there if you so wish.
Then speak with the man in front of your temporary residence to receive Lola's
Letter and Father's Journal. Read both of them.
Afterwards, go into the house next to yours to find Neil. Speak with him if
you want, then go into the alley next to this house. You'll find Gem there;
turn in some Red Jewels.
Go into the house on the other side of the alley. Speak with the man inside to
play a Whack-a-Mole kind of game. Here, you'll have to hit a bunch of snakes in
the three pots. Stand beneath the middle one, from where Will has enough reach
to hit either of the side pots, and the middle one of course. Pretty easy -- I
don't know the minimum requirements, but I hit fifty snakes my first time. A
success will net you two Red Jewels, which are automatically sent to Gem.
Leave the house and head east. You should find a pair of Kruks soon enough.
Stand above the western one and examine the local vegetation to find the third
Red Jewel here. Send it to Gem, then exit town to the west, heading for the
Pyramid, and your penultimate (required) dungeon...

I'll go ahead and note now that Mummy Spirits appear when regular Mummies die
(again). The defeating of a Mummy Spirit is implied when I tell you to defeat
a Mummy.
O-------------O
| The Start |
O-------------O
To be rather honest, this is one of my favorite dungeons. I don't know why, but
it just is. Anyhow, upon entering, head east. Defeat the two Laser Spheres to
get a Defense upgrade, as well as open the path to the nearby Dark Space.
Go into the Dark Space and use the statue on the right to *FINALLY* transform
into Shadow. His controls are essentially the same. However, he does have great
weapon reach, and his telekinetic shield provides protection for all applicable
attacks from all angles! Speak with Gaia to receive the Aura item. It basically
functions as Shadow's ability -- equip and use it to become water. This allows
temporal immunity to attacks, and lets you seep through cracks in the floor, as
we'll do a bunch in this dungeon.
Now, exit the Dark Space and equip the Aura item. Note that you won't really
need to use the doorways here -- the east/west doors take you outside, and the
central doorway takes to a currently-useless puzzle room. Instead, just use
Aura to seep through the floor at the top of the stairs. Note the floor design
for this spot, too. Once you fall through, examine the left pillar to find a
Red Jewel, then fall through the bricked floor to the next area.

|_____________________________________________________________________________|
That is a diagram of the room in which you'll arrive. Each of these six doors
will lead to a mini-dungeon. You can do these in pretty much any order.
However, I'll do them in a non-numerical order, so as to save time from
character swapping. You can use the Dark Space to transform into any of the
characters, as well as save and heal. The warp in the southeast corner will
take you back to the entrance room of the temple.
Anyhow, onto the mini-dungeons. Dungeon names are made as per the above ASCII
art, and WILL NOT be in numerical order. I would prefer you proceed in this
order, to save time and confusion.
O--------------------------O---------------------O
| Door #2's Mini-Dungeon | Character: Shadow |
O--------------------------O---------------------O
Upon entering, go down the western staircase. Defeat the Laser Sphere and go
up to the platform. Get rid of those two Laser Spheres, then return to
"ground level" to find one more. Ignore the door to the left up here; instead,
just use Aura to go through the floor somewhere.
After landing, ignore the pit nearby and head to the far right and downstairs.
Go through the doorway to go down some. Defeat the Laser Spheres nearby, then
go left for another Laser Sphere, as well as a Bird Solider. Defeat the both of
them to up your Defense. Continue left and head through the door at the end of
the hall.
Here, head to the right and go downstairs. Defeat the pair of Laser Spheres and
continue to find four Laser Spheres. Pop them, too, and go down the lengthy
stairwell to find another pair of Laser Spheres, as well as a Bird Soldier. Go
down the unused stairwell to find *gasp* six Laser Spheres. Go down the
unused stairwell again to find two more Laser Spheres. Go down the next
staircase and to the right.
Get rid of the final two enemies in this area, two Bird Soldiers, to get
rewarded with a Strength boost. Continue to the end of the corridor to find a
chest with a Red Jewel inside. Now, backtracking time.
Go back the four staircases. Upon clearing the landing, look for bricks in
the floor below. Use the Aura item to seep through them. Ignore the warp puddle
for now and go into the adjacent room upon landing to find a Hieroglyph. Go
back to the warp puddle and return to the top of the pyramid.
Here, go into the central room and place the Hieroglyph into the second slot
from the left. Return to the multi-door chamber beneath the floor and go into
our next mini-dungeon.
O--------------------------O---------------------O
| Door #3's Mini-Dungeon | Character: Shadow |
O--------------------------O---------------------O
Upon arriving, go to the right and defeat the four Laser Spheres. Continue
further to a Bird Soldier and another Laser Sphere. Defeat them both and go
further along. Ignore the ramp and just go downstairs and through the door.
Here, you'll find Laser Sphere and a Bird Soldier. Defeat both and head
downstairs to find a supposedly-empty room. Actually, along the back wall of
the room, you'll find four Invisible Bird Heads. They can fire lasers at you
and will damage you if you run into them. Defeat them and use the Aura to go
through the floor.
Upon landing, defeat the Bird Soldier and the Laser Sphere. Go to the right to
find another of the latter; of course, defeat it. Go through the far door to
find another lone Laser Sphere. Pop it, then exit and all of the way to the
left and through that door.
There, go to the right and step on the switch. Soon, your path ahead will open
up; use it to go to the right once it is cleared. On the landing, step on the
switch, then defeat the two Laser Spheres. Once the path opens up, follow it to
another landing. Step on the switch and defeat the four Laser Spheres. Follow
the path once it opens up, then go through the door.
In this room, defeat the Invisible Bird Heads on either side of you, then step
on the switch. Once the path opens up, go along it to another switch and Laser
Sphere. Step on the former, defeat the latter, and go along the path once it
opens up. On the next landing, defeat the Invisible Bird Head, then use the
switch. Go along the path once it opens up. On the next landing, defeat the six
Laser Spheres. You'll then get a Strength upgrade.
Afterwards, step on the switch and follow the path once it opens. Go through
the door to find another Hieroglyph. Return to the previous room and use the
warp puddle to go back to the entrance area of the Pyramid.
There, go into the central room and insert the Hieroglyph in the third slot
from the left. Return to the multi-door chamber, heal if needed, and proceed
to your next mini-dungeon.
O--------------------------O---------------------O
| Door #5's Mini-Dungeon | Character: Shadow |
O--------------------------O---------------------O
Once you arrive here, go to the right and get rid of the two Bird Soldiers.
Continue to the end of the hall and defeat the Laser Sphere, then head down
the staircase. Once you reach the bricked area, use the Aura to go down some.
Upon landing, you'll be ambushed by a Bird Soldier and a Laser Sphere. Defeat
them for their trouble, then go to the right to find an Invisible Bird Head.
Here, use your Aura to go through the floor to another room. This one has a
treasure chest; open it up to receive a Red Jewel. Use the warp puddle here to
go back to the Pyramid entrance.
Here, seep back through the floor and go back into the fifth mini-dungeon. Go
to the far right, then head downstairs and through the floor. Back here, go up
the stairs to the left and defeat the two Laser Spheres, then the other six
Laser Spheres at the landing at the top.
Next, go to the far left portion of the floor and go through the floor with
the Aura. Take out the Invisible Bird Heads upon landing to receive another HP
augmentation. Go through the door nearby.
Here, head to the right. Exorcise the Mummy duo and their spirits, then go
further to the right to find a Bird Soldier. Defeat it and the accompanying
Laser Sphere. Go to the right to find another Laser Sphere grouped with two
Mummies. Get rid of them and take the western staircase. Defeat the Bird
Soldier you soon find, then continue down the corridor to find three Mummies.
After that little brawl, take the next down-going stairs. Nearby is a pit. Go
past it and defeat the Invisible Bird Head, then jump into the pit. Upon
landing, go to the right, defeat that Invisible Bird Head, and go through the
nearby doorway.
In this room, go to the left and defeat the Bird Soldier, then continue going
left to find four Mummies near the staircase's apex. Defeat them and return to
the landing. Seep through the bricks here, then jump down the pit and head to
the left.
As you go down the hall, defeat the two Bird Soldiers to augment your Strength.
Afterwards, go through the door further to the left and get the Hieroglyph from
within. Get out of the room and use the warp puddle to reach the surface.
There, go into the central room and place the Hieroglyph into the fifth slot
from the left. Exit that area and seep back through the floor. Go into the Dark
Space and transform into Will. Return into the third door's mini-dungeon.
There, start charging a Psycho Spin and head to the right. Spin over the gap to
the right and defeat the Invisible Bird Head here to augment your Defense. You
also will find a chest; open it for another Red Jewel. Psycho Spin back over
the gap, go left, and back into the multi-door chamber. Enter the leftmost
mini-dungeon.
O--------------------------O-------------------O
| Door #1's Mini-Dungeon | Character: Will |
O--------------------------O-------------------O
Here, ignore the door and head to the left. At the bottom of the landing, you
will find a Laser Sphere. Dispatch it, then Psycho Spin over the two ramps,
then head to the far left. Defeat the pair of Laser Spheres, go through the
doorway nearby.
Here, dispatch the Laser Sphere and head to the right. Defeat the next Laser
Sphere duo and jump from the ledge nearby. Go left and defeat the Laser Sphere,
then go to the right and do the same with the Bird Soldier. Afterwards,
continue heading to the right and go upstairs. Defeat the two Laser Spheres and
go through the door to return to the beginning of the area via the door we
ignored earlier.
Psycho Spin back across the two gaps and go through the door, then into the
door on the left. Here, proceed to defeat the two Laser Spheres and you'll
boost your Defense. After receiving the augmentation, take the doorway on the
right.
Here, go to the left, and defeat the six Laser Spheres on the way. Psycho Spin
back and forth to defeat them. Continue to the left side of the area to find
another pairing-up of Laser Spheres. Dispatch them and go through the door.
There, in that next area, charge up a Psycho Spin. Proceed to the ramp, get
near it, then spin across the gap.
On the other side, continue down the hill to find a Bird Soldier. Defeat it
and go further along the path to find a trio of Laser Spheres. Dispatch them
and head downstairs to find another Bird Soldier. Defeat it for another
upgrade in your Defense stat. Now, charge up a Psycho Spin and cross the ramp
to the left. Go into this room and snatch the Hieroglyph. Go back to the warp
puddle and return to the Pyramid entrance.
Go into the central room and place the Hieroglyph into the first slot. Exit
this area, use the Dark Space to become Shadow, go through the floor, and
transform back into Will for this next mini-dungeon.
O--------------------------O-------------------O
| Door #4's Mini-Dungeon | Character: Will |
O--------------------------O-------------------O
Upon arriving, head to the left. Defeat the pair of Laser Spheres and continue
to defeat the Bird Soldier ahead. Go down and take the far left door. After
that, go ahead and defeat the seven impeding Laser Spheres, preferable WITHOUT
the Psycho Spin. Once you defeat them all, go down the hill and through the
door.
Defeat the four Mummies here, then use the left staircase to proceed forward.
Defeat the Laser Sphere and Mummy pair in here, then go through the far right
doorway. Defeat Mummy there and return to the previous area and go through the
leftmost door.
Defeat the three Mummies and the two Laser Spheres in here. Afterwards, go
through the left doorway to fight another trio of Mummies. Then go through the
doorway on the left again and defeat the two Bird Soldiers and the Mummy trio.
Go through the left doorway (again) to find a room with four Invisible Bird
Heads within, two per side. Defeat them all to get yet another Defense boost.
Yet again, go through the left door.
In this area, head downstairs, then to the right and downstairs again. Ignore
the Laser Spheres for the moment and you'll soon arrive in another room. Defeat
the Laser Sphere and Invisible Bird Head quartets in here, then go to the right
and upstairs. Defeat the Bird Soldier and head left to find the Laser Sphere
trio you previously ignored. Don't keep them waiting -- kill 'em. Afterwards,
go left and upstairs. At the apex, go around to the right, charing up a Psycho
Spin as you go.
Here, walk through the dropping spike ceiling area (don't worry; it won't kill
you, just eliminate a few orbs of HP). After the first block of spikes, in
the in-between space, start spinning as the next spike block rises and spin
through and up the ramp. Here, stop and charge up another Psycho Spin before
the down-going steps. Once the path is opened up, spin along the path and
defeat the Laser Spheres on the way, numbering five in all. Continue along.
Once you reach the door on the northern wall, go through it to be ambushed by
half-a-dozen Mummies. Defeat them all to earn a Strength boost. Open up the
chest for a Red Jewel, then go back upstairs and through the rightmost doorway.
Here, head to the right, stopping next to the spiked-ceiling area. Once you
have a clear path, dash to the right and up and down some ramps, stopping
before the last ramp. Charge up a Psycho Spin here, in the small space between
the ramp and spiked ceiling, then dash up the ramp. You should also hit a few
Invisible Bird Heads. After you hit them, stop as soon as possible and go back
as needed. Defeat them.
Afterwards, Psycho Spin more to the right and defeat the two Laser Spheres,
then go into the far right door. Here, grab the Hieroglyph, then leave the
room and warp to the Pyramid's entrance. Go into the central room and place the
Hieroglyph into the fourth slot from the left.
Go back out of this room, use the Dark Space to transform into Shadow, go
through the floor. You can use whoever you want for this next room -- I prefer
Freedan, because of the souped-up Dark Friar.
O--------------------------O-----------------------------------------O
| Door #6's Mini-Dungeon | Character: Anyone (Freedan preferred) |
O--------------------------O-----------------------------------------O
Upon arriving, head to the right to find a room with a Mummy trio and a Laser
Sphere. Get rid of them all, then go through the middle slot in the wall. Go
left upon disembarking and defeat the Laser Sphere trio and the Mummy duo. Go
through the right doorway.
Next, head to the right and you'll soon encounter a single Invisible Bird Head.
Defeat it, then return to the previous area and go left. Defeat the next three
Mummies and go through the middle slot. Defeat the two Invisible Bird Heads,
one per wall, here, in addition to the lone Bird Soldier. This will yield an
HP boost. Woo.
Go through the left doorway and head to the right, past the stairs, to find
some enemies. Plow on through them -- there are nine Mummies, five Laser
Spheres, and a Bird Soldier. Go back to the previously-skipped stairs and use
them. In the next area, go left and defeat the Bird Soldier and the Invisible
Bird Head to receive a Defense augmentation.
Return to the previous area and head through the second slot in the wall from
the right. Grab the Hieroglyph there, then exit the room and use the warp to
go back to the Pyramid entrance. Go into the central room and proceed to place
in the Hieroglyph in the rightmost slot.
O------------------O
| The Rest of It |
O------------------O
Whenever you proceed to place in the sixth Hieroglyph, you'll find the Jackal.
(You remember that hunter guy from way-back-when after escaping from Edward's
Prison? That guy.) When you are told, equip and play Lola's Melody to cook the
Jackal. *drools*
Anyhow, after that and speaking with Kara, put the final Hieroglyph where it
goes (sixth slot from the left, if you followed this FAQ). Exit the room and
ignore the puddle on the ground for the moment. Go into the Dark Space. You
can use whoever you want for the upcoming boss, but I'd prefer you use Shadow
because of the Aura-dodging technique, plus his higher offensive power and
range. Regardless, after that, heal and save with Gaia, then exit the Dark
Space and use the puddle from earlier.
=============================================================================
BOSS: Mummy Queen
HP: 40
=============================================================================
As usual, we'll begin with the boss attacks.
Firstly, the Mummy Queen will often split into eight spirits after being hit.
After the initial launch (where the spirits are angled in intervals of around
forty-five degrees), they'll start to home in on you. You can usually warp
upstairs or jump off the ledge to be safe from the latter bit. They'll go back
into the Mummy Queen shortly.
There is another variation of the above attack. Instead of just spreading out,
the spirits will form a ring and start flying around. To make them turn back
into your main boss, you have to hit the unblinking spirit. Stabbing at the
ring from a distance with Shadow could work, as would Freedan's boosted Dark
Friar.
Another attack she can use is to make large bricks fall from the roof. Not
much you can do about it other than move out of the way.
The last attack she has is to fire a ball of energy at you. You can move out
of the way, warp up a level, jump down a level, or have Shadow use Aura. Not
exactly worth mentioning.
You don't really have a true offensive strategy in this fight, anyways. All
you really have to do is hit her and dodge the attacks. Simple concept, right?
~~~
After the battle, watch the cutscene and you'll be back in Dao. Speak with
Neil to head to the Tower of Babel.

| Access to Gem's Mansion .............................................. [] |
| Crystal Ring ......................................................... [] |
| Red Jewel ............................................................ [] |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
Time for the final storyline dungeon of the game. It is not actually so long,
but will contain earlier bosses. Get ready for some fightin'.
After arriving in the Tower of Babel, go to the far right side of the room. You
will stopped on the way as Will remembers where he found his flute. Examine the
box on the altar to receive the fiftieth Red Jewel of the game, which will let
you go to Gem's Mansion soon, if it IS your fiftieth.
Proceed to the right some more, sidling along the ledge to dodge the spike pit.
Further ahead is a laser barrier. Run into it to reveal the Crystal Ring, the
item King Edward wanted way back when, and the thing Will merely thought was a
flute decoration. Equip it to be able to go through the lasers.
On the next floor, you'll find that Kara (the other parachuter in the earlier
scene) has followed you, using the ring she found on the Incan Gold Ship to
pass the laser barrier. Go to the left and speak with the spirits to get more
info on the plot.
On the next floor, speak with the spirits as you go to the other side. As you
do, you'll note a relatively ornate doorway. Go to the right of it to find a
Dark Space. Save in it, then go through the ornate doorway.
=============================================================================
BOSS: Dark Castoth
HP: 40
=============================================================================
Wwe'll begin by describing your boss's attacks. Go ahead and note that, since
you are using Shadow, you can go ahead and use Aura to dodge these all.
He can create two lightning-fires attack that bounces around the room. Only two
can be activate at any given time. It is fairly easy to avoid, so long as you
keep an eye on it.
There is another attack that requires his claws. He'll basically try to scratch
you or something. Stay against the south edge to avoid it.
Another attack involves a stream of fire going down the path. Stay against the
wall to avoid it.
Finally, your boss can shoot lasers from his head. For some reason, despite the
range of the lasers, staying in the southwest/southeast corners works just fine
to live through it. You'll notice this when he starts to shake a fair deal.
Anyhow, onto business. Our first goal should be to remove the hands. As soon as
possible, move around to the southwest corner of the pit (not the room) and get
against the wall. Quickly tap Up on the D-Pad to turn around and rapidly start
slashing at your opponent's hands. During this time, keep aware of the
lightning-fire attack. After five hits from Freedan, the hand will be gone.
Repeat this with the other hand.
For a few seconds after removing Castoth's hands, just dodge his attacks for
a bit. Eventually, his eyes will widen and you should get against the central
wall, quick-tap Up on the D-Pad, and start slicing up his face. This will keep
you from the fire-line attack. All you have to watch for at this point is the
lightning-fire attack and his lasers. Remember, once he starts to shake a lot,
head to the southwest/southeast corners.
After the lasers are done with, you'll have to get rid of his hands once more.
Remove them as before, then continue to the head again, also as before.
Continue this until the boss is finished.
~~~
After the battle, go to the Dark Space to heal and save. Leave it and proceed
to the next floor. Proceed there to find the Dark-variation of your second
main boss.
=============================================================================
BOSS: Dark Viper
HP: 40
=============================================================================
Anyhow, we'll first describe your opponent's attacks. He'll fly around the area
a bit before an attack. One attack is a spinning feather you can out-run. It
will split up eventually into four feathers that you can out-walk or dodge
with Aura.
Another attack is a stream of feathers, which can only be fired to the
southwest, south, or southeast. Try to stay out of the bird's way for this
one. It also makes your opponent remain still, so if you already were out of
the way, take this as a free pass to do some damage.
Another attack involves the opponent's firing of six feathers in one direction.
As with the previous attack, stay out of the way, generally out of his direct
facing.
To defeat your opponent, it will be a mostly dodge-and-slash sort of deal. Just
get him when you can.
~~~
After the battle, backtrack to the Dark Space to heal and save if you need to,
then proceed up the floors some more. When you reach the room with the stones,
get into their center to be sent up higher in the tower. Proceed along some
more to another ornate door to fight the Vampires.
=============================================================================
BOSS: Dark Vampire (x2)
HP: 40 each
=============================================================================
Oh boy, this fight again. Well, be ready to use an Herb, just like before,
because this is truly a tough boss.
Each vampire will be able to stand on an intersection to and fire off a line of
fire or electricity on the paths around it. The blond vampire only fires off
one shot, but the black-haired one will fire one off on every available path.
These are quite fast and cannot be outrun. The only way to avoid them is get on
another path, or to use Aura.
Another attack is more of a counterattack. Upon being hit, a vampire will emit
four orbs of energy to circle around it. That is what makes this boss a pain --
you have to hit, back up, and still avoid the elemental line above. What makes
it worse is that the vampire will probably move around after the orbs start
circling it and hit you.
Finally, the last attack this duo can use can only occur when they both are
still alive. They will get opposite each other and make a big ball of energy
that is obscenely powerful versus their other attacks. When you see it, hurry
up and use your Aura.
Your fight plan, otherwise, is pretty basic. Since we have two to go after,
start with the dark-haired one, as he is more dangerous. Once the fight
starts, go up to the vampire you want to go after and hit him about six-seven
times, then run away. Continue tracking that one and, when possible, hit it
two or three times, then back off again. Following this pattern will soon
defeat your opponent. Repeat with the other one.
~~~
After that battle, continue upward, as you can't really heal all that well
without a Dark Space. You'll soon find the next boss, which is dramatically
easier.
=============================================================================
BOSS: Dark Sand Fanger
HP: 40
=============================================================================
To begin with its attacks... With one of them, you'll find see a swirling pit
appear and the Sand Fanger will launch from it and go way up. This initial
launch can damage you, as well as its downward attack. As it goes up and down,
are able to hit it, but do so safely.
Another attack is similar to the above, but instead of going straight up, the
Sand Fanger will arch over to the middle or so of the area, then go to the far
side. You can damage it here, but it isn't worth the bother.
The Sand Fanger's other attack is where you'll really find damaging it easy.
Another swirling pit appears, but the boss just sticks his head out. During
this time, until he sticks his head back in the ground, just ignore all else
that happens and continually hit his head. During this attack, the boss may
release a mini-version of it and/or a richocheting rock ball. Both have 3 HP
and can be dealt with easily, which they should, lest this battle go on too
long and they start to really become frustrating.
Your offensive strategy is relatively simple. Simply go around and dodge the
boss's attacks. In the meantime, try to hit the boss when safely possible, and
never pass up the chance for the attack mentioned above!
~~~
After this battle, proceed further to find a balcony. There, speak with the
big bird (that looks quite a bit like the Viper) to fly up much higher in the
tower. Go through the door on the left upon disembarking and proceed further
to fight the last repeat boss of the game.
=============================================================================
BOSS: Dark Mummy Queen
HP: 40
=============================================================================
As usual, we'll begin with the boss attacks.
Firstly, the Mummy Queen will often split into eight spirits after being hit.
After the initial launch (where the spirits are angled in intervals of around
forty-five degrees), they'll start to home in on you. You can usually warp
upstairs or jump off the ledge to be safe from the latter bit. They'll go back
into the Mummy Queen shortly.
There is another variation of the above attack. Instead of just spreading out,
the spirits will form a ring and start flying around. To make them turn back
into your main boss, you have to hit the unblinking spirit. Stabbing at the
ring from a distance with Shadow could work.
Another attack she can use is to make large bricks fall from the sky. Not
much you can do about it other than move out of the way.
The last attack she has is to fire a ball of energy at you. You can move out
of the way, warp up a level, jump down a level, or have Shadow use Aura. Not
exactly worth mentioning.
You don't really have a true offensive strategy in this fight, anyways. All
you really have to do is hit her and dodge the attacks. Simple concept, right?
~~~
After the brawl, proceed along the floors for a bit. Once you reach the
Vampire, speak with him to go further up in the tower. (Not at the top yet.)
Leave this room to find Kara again. Continue to the right and go into the Dark
Space to heal and save -- seriously save, as we're about to reach the point of
no return.
Additionally, at this point, you can speak with the spirit next to the Dark
Space to return to Dao. If you have 50 Red Jewels, you may want to do so,
because you now have access to the optional dungeon, detailed in Section XV.
You also do it if you want to do something else, but the optional dungeon is
the main thing.
Anyhow, if you opted not to do it, or came here later, go through the doorway
AFTER saving. Trust me, the following boss series will be painful enough as it
is without you having to do a bunch of redos because you ran out of Herbs and
had to start over.
In this room, the spirit of Olman, Will's father, will speak with you for a
bit in a very plot-revealing manner before teleporting you to the top of the
Tower of Babel. Once the other spirits appear, speak with them, then Olman and
Kara. You'll then merge into the Dark Warrior, Shadow, with his ultimate
capability - the long range attack known as the Firebird. The final boss will
soon commence...
=============================================================================
FINAL BOSS, PART ONE: The Comet
HP: 20
=============================================================================
A very simple boss, but one that finish you off if you're not careful. This
boss will only use one attack on occasion, which is the releasing of green
lightning. You'll have enough warning to run aside or to use Aura to dodge
them.
To damage the boss, it will occasionally open its mouth (yes, the boss is the
face of the comet) before releasing lightning. During the "calm periods", just
constantly unleash Firebirds at it before dodging the lightning.
Soon after that boss, the final one begins...
~~~
=============================================================================
FINAL BOSS, PART TWO: Dark Gaia
HP: 40
=============================================================================
This battle is not truly difficult, so long as you pay attention. Dark Gaia
has three attacks, and they are easily dealt with, but they go on constantly
and make the battle a bit more difficult.
Firstly, from either side of the battlefield, blue bubbles will appear. These
will zig-zaggedly try to run into you and damage you. The only way to deal with
these is to hit them with Firebirds. You can also use Aura to dodge them, but
that won't get rid of them. I found that standing slightly to the right of the
vertical center of the area and firing constantly upward helped stave these off
with minimal effort, though I did have to move eventually.
Another attack Dark Gaia can use is to launch two balls of electricity at you.
These will, after launching, home in on you very quickly. To deal with them,
use your L/R telekinetic shield, or dodge with Aura. I'd prefer the former, as
it takes less time and will not as easily let the bubbles propagate.
Dark Gaia's final offensive move occurs much less often than the other two,
but is still a force to be reckoned with. To know when it is occuring, keep an
eye on her head. When her mouth opens up, you able to damage her. Do so for
three to five Firebirds (more or less will get in, depending on whether you
were already aiming there), then use Aura to dodge the laser beam that will
inevitably fall down.
The offense was already mentioned. For the majority of the battle, you will
fend off Dark Gaia's attacks -- Firebirding blue bubbles, shielding from the
electricity, and Aura-dodging the mouth laser. The only chance you have to
damage her is when her mouth opens for the mouth laser -- aim right for it for
three to five Firebirds, then Aura-dodge the inevitable laser. As this is the
final battle, you can get rid of all your Herbs -- there is no post-story to
this game.
Good luck!
~~~
After the battle, there will be a long and drawn-out series of scenes and the
game credits. Enjoy as you see how Will and his friends fare in the new (or
should I say "old") world. (And wonder how Seth came to life again.)

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
After collecting all fifty Red Jewels in the whole game, you are allowed to
access a secret, optional dungeon - Gem's Mansion. This can be accessed only
after getting the Red Jewel within the Tower of Babel, then returning to Dao
and speaking with Gem the Jeweler.
What do you gain from this?
Well, you get the satisfaction of having done something rather difficult to
do, unless you used an FAQ or something. Within the dungeon, you can find an
Herb, one of the mere twelve HP-restoring items in the game.
There actually is little else. You won't gain any stat bonuses, and you have to
fight some semi-difficult enemies. You'll probably some eyestrain (you'll know
what I mean when you get there) as well. The only thing worth mentioning is the
boss, Solid Arm, there, who is a boss from another Soul Blazer trilogy game.
Winning the boss does little more than reveal more of the plot.

You'll probably note that these are mere power-ups of the enemies fought in the
Diamond Mine. There are very few of these beasts (only 38 total), but don't
take that for granted. They still can hurt you, and there are no Dark Spaces in
this dungeon. Assuming you haven't actually beat the game yet, I'm quite sure
you'll want to avoid wasting Herbs. Since you get no stat boosts, I'll only
really state the monsters you need to defeat.
Upon arriving in this short dungeon, go west to find two Red Lizards. Defeat
the western one to open the path forward. Use it and go further west to find
two more Red Lizards and a Blue Floating Eyeball. Defeat the Blue Floating
Eyeball to open the path ahead again.
Go west, north, and west. You'll find a pair of Blue Floating Eyeballs and a
Red Lizard. Defeat them (or at least hit them out of the way) and head north.
Go through the gauntlet of Blue Floating Eyeballs, four in all, pushing them
out of the way as you go. You'll soon come to a pair of Blue Floating Eyeballs
and a pair of Red Lizards. Use the Psycho Slide to safely bypass them.
Afterwards, head east and south to find another such gauntlet, this one
containing a Red Lizard amongst four Blue Floating Eyeballs. Continue south
and east to find a staircase. Go across, Psycho Sliding the Red Lizard to
avoid it. On the floor again, go north to a dead end. Push aside or defeat the
Blue Floating Eyeballs to find the chest, which contains the Herb.
Go south and past the stairway, then head to the west. You'll find another Blue
Floating Eyeball and a Red Lizard. Defeat or bypass them, then Psycho Slide
through the gap under the stairs.
On the other side, head north and defeat/bypass the Blue Floating Eyeball. Go
west and do the same with the Red Lizard, then go over the stairs to repeat
this with another Red Lizard. You'll soon find a door and the boss.
=============================================================================
OPTIONAL BOSS: Solid Arm
HP: 40
=============================================================================
NOTE OF TRIVIA: The Solid Arm is a palette-swap of the first major boss in
the prequel to this game: Metal Mantis from the SNES game
Soul Blazer. (Play it, it's great!)
In this small room, you'll note the two platforms. The north one is for Solid
Arm and where he resides over the course of the whole fight. The south one is
where you begin. You can move freely between the two by using the three
conveyor belts in the middle of the platforms.
Solid Arm's first attack will be while you're on the southern platform and
approximately lined up. Three fireballs will be launched simultaneously, reach
the south platform, and somewhat home in on you. Block them with telekinesis,
but you must face the proper direction.
Another attack occurs whilst you're on the south platform, but not lined up
with Solid Arm. He'll fire a fireball forty-five degrees off of due south,
which will also somewhat home in on you. As before, block it with telekinesis.
The final attack will occur when you and Solid Arm are on the same platform.
He'll get close to you and swing his arms around. He will be impossible to
damage during this time, and can do this for long periods of time. DO NOT GET
TRAPPED IN THE CORNER!!
Now, there is a simple strategy to beat this boss, albeit rather long.
At the start of the battle, walk up to the start of the center conveyor belt,
not on it. Telekinetically block the fireballs that are launched, then smack
Solid Arm once -- no more or less -- with the flute, then return to blocking.
Repeat this porcess. The only thing to note about this, other than that it
will take eighty hits, is that you will slowly get pushed back by the fireballs
as you block them. When you do, walk up very slightly to your start position.
Remember that, during the blocking, you need to block the middle and left
fireballs, which is done by only doing due north walking, because Solid Arm is
off-center.
~~~
After the battle, you are taken back to the highest Dark Space of the Tower of
Babel, just before the final boss sequence. You'll probably have no need to do
anything else in the game now, except the final boss. So, congratulations!

6. Boss FAQ/Walkthrough***********************GAIA_6*************************
Within this section are the boss strategies for each of the game's big bosses.
They are listed in a near-chronological order, as per the below list:
-- Castoth
-- Viper
-- Vampire (x2)
-- Sand Fanger
-- Mummy Queen
-- Dark Castoth
-- Dark Viper
-- Dark Vampire (x2)
-- Dark Sand Fanger
-- Dark Mummy Queen
-- The Comet
-- Dark Gaia
-- Solid Arm
#############################################################################
#############################################################################
=============================================================================
BOSS: Castoth
HP: 40
Location: Larai Cliff
=============================================================================
I would prefer that you use Freedan for this boss. Using him makes the fight
so much easier because of the range of his sword and the fact that he is twice
as powerful as Will. Anyhow, we'll begin by describing your boss's attacks.
He can use a lightning-fire attack that bounces around the room. Only one is
activate at any given time. It is fairly easy to avoid, so long as you keep an
eye on it.
There is another attack that requires his claws. He'll basically try to scratch
you or something. Stay against the wall to avoid it.
Another attack involves a stream of fire going down the path. Stay against the
wall to avoid it.
Finally, your boss can shoot lasers from his head. For some reason, despite the
range of the lasers, staying in the southwest/southeast corners works just fine
to live through it. You'll notice this when he starts to shake a fair deal.
Anyhow, onto business. Our first goal should be to remove the hands. As soon as
possible, move around to the southwest corner of the pit (not the room) and get
against the wall. Quickly tap Up on the D-Pad to turn around and rapidly start
slashing at your opponent's hands. During this time, keep aware of the
lightning-fire attack. After five hits from Freedan, the hand will be gone.
Repeat this with the other hand.
For a few seconds after removing Castoth's hands, just dodge his attacks for
a bit. Eventually, his eyes will widen and you should get against the central
wall, quick-tap Up on the D-Pad, and start slicing up his face. This will keep
you from the fire-line attack. All you have to watch for at this point is the
lightning-fire attack and his lasers. Remember, once he starts to shake a lot,
head to the southwest/southeast corners.
After the lasers are done with, you'll have to get rid of his hands once more.
Remove them as before, then continue to the head again, also as before.
Continue this until the boss is finished.
#############################################################################
#############################################################################
=============================================================================
BOSS: Viper
HP: 40
Location: Sky Garden
=============================================================================
This boss starts with you having to run up a collapsing bridge. It is short and
not exactly easy to fall off of, so don't worry. You'll see your boss on the
other side.
Weird name for a bird, eh?
Anyhow, we'll first describe your opponent's attacks. He'll fly around the area
a bit before an attack. One attack is a spinning feather you can out-run. It
will split up eventually into four feathers that you can out-walk.
Another attack is a stream of feathers, which can only be fired to the
southwest, south, or southeast. Try to stay out of the bird's way for this
one. It also makes your opponent remain still, so if you already were out of
the way, take this as a free pass to do some damage.
Another attack involves the opponent's firing of six feathers in one direction.
As with the previous attack, stay out of the way, generally out of his direct
facing.
To defeat your opponent, it will be a mostly dodge-and-slash sort of deal. A
long one at that - just get him when you can, and charge Dark Friars when you
can't.
#############################################################################
#############################################################################
=============================================================================
BOSS: Vampire (x2)
HP: 40 each
Location: Mu
=============================================================================
First thing to note. Erik is in this room, and he has a bomb strapped to him.
(No, he is not a suicide bomber.) He somehow became these vampires' hostage,
and this bomb will go off in 140 seconds (that is a little over 2.3 minutes).
Letting the timer run out will provide nothing for you but death - you don't
even get to see an explosion.
Anyhow, to the fight.
Each vampire will be able to stand on an intersection to and fire off a line of
fire or electricity on the paths around it. The blond vampire only fires off
one shot, but the black-haired one will fire one off on every available path.
These are quite fast and cannot be outrun. The only way to avoid them is get on
another path.
Another attack is more of a counterattack. Upon being hit, a vampire will emit
four orbs of energy to circle around it. That is what makes this boss a pain --
you have to hit, back up, and still avoid the elemental line above. What makes
it worse is that the vampire will probably move around after the orbs start
circling it and hit you.
Finally, the last attack this duo can use can only occur when they both are
still alive. They will get opposite each other and make a big ball of energy
that is obscenely powerful versus their other attacks. When you see it, dash
over to the other side of the area. I'm not kidding - this will quickly
eliminate your HP because there is very little delay between noticing what
will happen and it happening.
Your fight plan, otherwise, is pretty basic. Since we have two to go after,
start with the dark-haired one, as he is more dangerous. Once the fight
starts, go up to the vampire you want to go after and hit him about six-seven
times, then run away. Continue tracking that one and, when possible, hit it
two or three times, then back off again. Following this pattern will soon
defeat your opponent. Repeat with the other one.
Some final notes. Firstly, you see those little pits around the area?
Freedan's sword can actually go across them horizontally, so consider this.
Also, be prepared to use some Herbs in this fight. Not a bunch, just one or
two. This boss will get pretty hectic pretty fast, so don't fear. If you
somehow empty your supply to where you have less than three Herbs left, you
better reset the game. You want to save their limited number (twelve total)
for emergencies.
#############################################################################
#############################################################################
=============================================================================
BOSS: Sand Fanger
HP: 40
Location: China's Great Wall
=============================================================================
To begin with its attacks... With one of them, you'll find see a quicksand pit
appear and the Sand Fanger will launch from it and go way up. This initial
launch can damage you, as well as its downward attack. As it goes up and down,
are able to hit it, but do so safely.
Another attack is similar to the above, but instead of going straight up, the
Sand Fanger will arch over to the middle or so of the area, then go to the far
side. You can damage it here, but it isn't worth the bother.
The Sand Fanger's other attack is where you'll really find damaging it easy.
Another quicksand pit appears, but the boss just sticks his head out. During
this time, until he sticks his head back in the ground, just ignore all else
that happens and continually hit his head. During this attack, the boss may
release a mini-version of it and/or a richocheting rock ball. Both have 3 HP
and can be dealt with easily, which they should, lest this battle go on too
long and they start to really become frustrating.
Your offensive strategy is relatively simple. Simply go around and dodge the
boss's attacks. In the meantime, try to hit the boss when safely possible, and
never pass up the chance for the attack mentioned above! Don't try using any
of your special powers, either; just stick to plain attacks.
#############################################################################
#############################################################################
=============================================================================
BOSS: Mummy Queen
HP: 40
Location: Pyramid
=============================================================================
As usual, we'll begin with the boss attacks.
Firstly, the Mummy Queen will often split into eight spirits after being hit.
After the initial launch (where the spirits are angled in intervals of around
forty-five degrees), they'll start to home in on you. You can usually warp
upstairs or jump off the ledge to be safe from the latter bit. They'll go back
into the Mummy Queen shortly.
There is another variation of the above attack. Instead of just spreading out,
the spirits will form a ring and start flying around. To make them turn back
into your main boss, you have to hit the unblinking spirit. Stabbing at the
ring from a distance with Shadow could work, as would Freedan's boosted Dark
Friar.
Another attack she can use is to make large bricks fall from the roof. Not
much you can do about it other than move out of the way.
The last attack she has is to fire a ball of energy at you. You can move out
of the way, warp up a level, jump down a level, or have Shadow use Aura. Not
exactly worth mentioning.
You don't really have a true offensive strategy in this fight, anyways. All
you really have to do is hit her and dodge the attacks. Simple concept, right?
#############################################################################
#############################################################################
=============================================================================
BOSS: Dark Castoth
HP: 40
Location: Tower of Babel
=============================================================================
Wwe'll begin by describing your boss's attacks. Go ahead and note that, since
you are using Shadow, you can go ahead and use Aura to dodge these all.
He can create two lightning-fires attack that bounces around the room. Only two
can be activate at any given time. It is fairly easy to avoid, so long as you
keep an eye on it.
There is another attack that requires his claws. He'll basically try to scratch
you or something. Stay against the south edge to avoid it.
Another attack involves a stream of fire going down the path. Stay against the
wall to avoid it.
Finally, your boss can shoot lasers from his head. For some reason, despite the
range of the lasers, staying in the southwest/southeast corners works just fine
to live through it. You'll notice this when he starts to shake a fair deal.
Anyhow, onto business. Our first goal should be to remove the hands. As soon as
possible, move around to the southwest corner of the pit (not the room) and get
against the wall. Quickly tap Up on the D-Pad to turn around and rapidly start
slashing at your opponent's hands. During this time, keep aware of the
lightning-fire attack. After five hits from Freedan, the hand will be gone.
Repeat this with the other hand.
For a few seconds after removing Castoth's hands, just dodge his attacks for
a bit. Eventually, his eyes will widen and you should get against the central
wall, quick-tap Up on the D-Pad, and start slicing up his face. This will keep
you from the fire-line attack. All you have to watch for at this point is the
lightning-fire attack and his lasers. Remember, once he starts to shake a lot,
head to the southwest/southeast corners.
After the lasers are done with, you'll have to get rid of his hands once more.
Remove them as before, then continue to the head again, also as before.
Continue this until the boss is finished.

HP: 40
Location: Tower of Babel
=============================================================================
Anyhow, we'll first describe your opponent's attacks. He'll fly around the area
a bit before an attack. One attack is a spinning feather you can out-run. It
will split up eventually into four feathers that you can out-walk or dodge
with Aura.
Another attack is a stream of feathers, which can only be fired to the
southwest, south, or southeast. Try to stay out of the bird's way for this
one. It also makes your opponent remain still, so if you already were out of
the way, take this as a free pass to do some damage.
Another attack involves the opponent's firing of six feathers in one direction.
As with the previous attack, stay out of the way, generally out of his direct
facing.
To defeat your opponent, it will be a mostly dodge-and-slash sort of deal. Just
get him when you can.

BOSS: Dark Vampire (x2)
HP: 40 each
Location: Tower of Babel
=============================================================================
Oh boy, this fight again. Well, be ready to use an Herb, just like before,
because this is truly a tough boss.
Each vampire will be able to stand on an intersection to and fire off a line of
fire or electricity on the paths around it. The blond vampire only fires off
one shot, but the black-haired one will fire one off on every available path.
These are quite fast and cannot be outrun. The only way to avoid them is get on
another path, or to use Aura.
Another attack is more of a counterattack. Upon being hit, a vampire will emit
four orbs of energy to circle around it. That is what makes this boss a pain --
you have to hit, back up, and still avoid the elemental line above. What makes
it worse is that the vampire will probably move around after the orbs start
circling it and hit you.
Finally, the last attack this duo can use can only occur when they both are
still alive. They will get opposite each other and make a big ball of energy
that is obscenely powerful versus their other attacks. When you see it, hurry
up and use your Aura.
Your fight plan, otherwise, is pretty basic. Since we have two to go after,
start with the dark-haired one, as he is more dangerous. Once the fight
starts, go up to the vampire you want to go after and hit him about six-seven
times, then run away. Continue tracking that one and, when possible, hit it
two or three times, then back off again. Following this pattern will soon
defeat your opponent. Repeat with the other one.

BOSS: Dark Sand Fanger
HP: 40
Location: Tower of Babel
=============================================================================
To begin with its attacks... With one of them, you'll find see a swirling pit
appear and the Sand Fanger will launch from it and go way up. This initial
launch can damage you, as well as its downward attack. As it goes up and down,
are able to hit it, but do so safely.
Another attack is similar to the above, but instead of going straight up, the
Sand Fanger will arch over to the middle or so of the area, then go to the far
side. You can damage it here, but it isn't worth the bother.
The Sand Fanger's other attack is where you'll really find damaging it easy.
Another swirling pit appears, but the boss just sticks his head out. During
this time, until he sticks his head back in the ground, just ignore all else
that happens and continually hit his head. During this attack, the boss may
release a mini-version of it and/or a richocheting rock ball. Both have 3 HP
and can be dealt with easily, which they should, lest this battle go on too
long and they start to really become frustrating.
Your offensive strategy is relatively simple. Simply go around and dodge the
boss's attacks. In the meantime, try to hit the boss when safely possible, and
never pass up the chance for the attack mentioned above!
#############################################################################
#############################################################################
=============================================================================
BOSS: Dark Mummy Queen
HP: 40
Location: Tower of Babel
=============================================================================
As usual, we'll begin with the boss attacks.
Firstly, the Mummy Queen will often split into eight spirits after being hit.
After the initial launch (where the spirits are angled in intervals of around
forty-five degrees), they'll start to home in on you. You can usually warp
upstairs or jump off the ledge to be safe from the latter bit. They'll go back
into the Mummy Queen shortly.
There is another variation of the above attack. Instead of just spreading out,
the spirits will form a ring and start flying around. To make them turn back
into your main boss, you have to hit the unblinking spirit. Stabbing at the
ring from a distance with Shadow could work.
Another attack she can use is to make large bricks fall from the sky. Not
much you can do about it other than move out of the way.
The last attack she has is to fire a ball of energy at you. You can move out
of the way, warp up a level, jump down a level, or have Shadow use Aura. Not
exactly worth mentioning.
You don't really have a true offensive strategy in this fight, anyways. All
you really have to do is hit her and dodge the attacks. Simple concept, right?

=============================================================================
FINAL BOSS, PART ONE: The Comet
HP: 20
Location: Tower of Babel
=============================================================================
A very simple boss, but one that finish you off if you're not careful. This
boss will only use one attack on occasion, which is the releasing of green
lightning. You'll have enough warning to run aside or to use Aura to dodge
them.
To damage the boss, it will occasionally open its mouth (yes, the boss is the
face of the comet) before releasing lightning. During the "calm periods", just
constantly unleash Firebirds at it before dodging the lightning.
#############################################################################
#############################################################################
=============================================================================
FINAL BOSS, PART TWO: Dark Gaia
HP: 40
Location: Tower of Babel
=============================================================================
This battle is not truly difficult, so long as you pay attention. Dark Gaia
has three attacks, and they are easily dealt with, but they go on constantly
and make the battle a bit more difficult.
Firstly, from either side of the battlefield, blue bubbles will appear. These
will zig-zaggedly try to run into you and damage you. The only way to deal with
these is to hit them with Firebirds. You can also use Aura to dodge them, but
that won't get rid of them. I found that standing slightly to the right of the
vertical center of the area and firing constantly upward helped stave these off
with minimal effort, though I did have to move eventually.
Another attack Dark Gaia can use is to launch two balls of electricity at you.
These will, after launching, home in on you very quickly. To deal with them,
use your L/R telekinetic shield, or dodge with Aura. I'd prefer the former, as
it takes less time and will not as easily let the bubbles propagate.
Dark Gaia's final offensive move occurs much less often than the other two,
but is still a force to be reckoned with. To know when it is occuring, keep an
eye on her head. When her mouth opens up, you able to damage her. Do so for
three to five Firebirds (more or less will get in, depending on whether you
were already aiming there), then use Aura to dodge the laser beam that will
inevitably fall down.
The offense was already mentioned. For the majority of the battle, you will
fend off Dark Gaia's attacks -- Firebirding blue bubbles, shielding from the
electricity, and Aura-dodging the mouth laser. The only chance you have to
damage her is when her mouth opens for the mouth laser -- aim right for it for
three to five Firebirds, then Aura-dodge the inevitable laser. As this is the
final battle, you can get rid of all your Herbs -- there is no post-story to
this game.
Good luck!

=============================================================================
OPTIONAL BOSS: Solid Arm
HP: 40
Location: Gem's Mansion
=============================================================================
In this small room, you'll note the two platforms. The north one is for Solid
Arm and where he resides over the course of the whole fight. The south one is
where you begin. You can move freely between the two by using the three
conveyor belts in the middle of the platforms.
Solid Arm's first attack will be while you're on the southern platform and
approximately lined up. Three fireballs will be launched simultaneously, reach
the south platform, and somewhat home in on you. Block them with telekinesis,
but you must face the proper direction.
Another attack occurs whilst you're on the south platform, but not lined up
with Solid Arm. He'll fire a fireball forty-five degrees off of due south,
which will also somewhat home in on you. As before, block it with telekinesis.
The final attack will occur when you and Solid Arm are on the same platform.
He'll get close to you and swing his arms around. He will be impossible to
damage during this time, and can do this for long periods of time. DO NOT GET
TRAPPED IN THE CORNER!!
Now, there is a simple strategy to beat this boss, albeit rather long.
At the start of the battle, walk up to the start of the center conveyor belt,
not on it. Telekinetically block the fireballs that are launched, then smack
Solid Arm once -- no more or less -- with the flute, then return to blocking.
Repeat this porcess. The only thing to note about this, other than that it
will take eighty hits, is that you will slowly get pushed back by the fireballs
as you block them. When you do, walk up very slightly to your start position.
Remember that, during the blocking, you need to block the middle and left
fireballs, which is done by only doing due north walking, because Solid Arm is
off-center.
