==============================================================================
Version updates:
==============================================================================
Version 0.01
22 January 2001: I decided to make a walkthrough for this game on paper, very
small introduction.
Version 0.8
25 January 2001: After almost four days of typing and playing the game again,
I got all the way up to Dragon Mountain. I've also added titles for each
event.
Version 1.0
26 January 2001: Finished the game in walkthrough. (Not completed though,
sealed towers are not yet covered) Started on Appendix B, this is almost
completed.
Version 1.4
28 January 2001: Decided to add prices to Appendix B as well. Started on
appendix A: the capsule monsters, and C: The best way to beat the three
hardest bosses. Added small story and put in the two sub-quests and bonus
(casino) sections in the walkthrough as well.
Version 1.6
31 January 2001: Almost completed the lists of items, started on Appendix D:
The ancient ave, and Appendix F as well: Bugs, glitches and other stuff. Added
small section called: "game controls".
Version 1.75
1 February 2001: Added some parts to the controls section. Added 9999 (max)
Damage and "heal enemies to death" to bugs, glitches and stuff. I included a
small expansion on the Capsule Monsters as well. Used spelling check and
grammar correction, corrected a huge lot of errors and also placed info on
"harvesting" enemies in Appendix D: the ancient cave.
Version 1.8
2 February 2001: Added evolution section to capsule monsters. Made start on
Appendix E: Dropped items.
Version 1.95
3 February 2001: Extended Appendix D: The ancient cave, with a huge update. I
made a small ASCII drawing at the top of the FAQ/walkthrough. After fighting
some monsters yesterday evening I found some new dropped items, and they are
added to Appendix E. ( I have put the monsters now in alphabetical order )
Version 2.1
4 February 2001: Added IP's to the weapon, armor, rings and jewel lists. Made
a small paragraph about the main characters. Also made a list of IP attacks
and the percentage needed to perform the attack. Will this FAQ ever end?
Version 2.3
7 February 2001: Added most of the special attacks of the capsule monsters.
Completed the IP table, and started & finished the shopping list table. Fixed
some minor details like correcting the spelling of the word Parcelyte with an
'A' instead of a 'E'.
Version 2.35
11 February 2001: I've read the entire walkthrough again, and corrected some
errors that I missed earlier on. Also worked on the special attacks list of
the capsule monsters.
Version 2.4
12 February 2001: Added special chart tables at the end of each list for the
items that can only be found in the red chests of the ancient cave.
Version 2.5
16 February 2001: Fixed some more errors and minor details, made an ASCII
drawing to explain the last stage of "the world's most difficult trick". Added
Zeppy's Bubble blast and Diving claw attacks to the capsule monster chart.
Version 2.8
19 February 2001: Finally completed the Sealed towers, and the bush puzzle of
Dragon Mountain in the walkthrough. Also added the dropped item of Stinger;
this one took me quite a while to find out.
Version 2.85
21 February 2001: Added a brief explanation about the battle system, as well
as adding "death" to the diseases section. I think my FAQ/Walkthrough has
become quite complete by now, and with the typing of these lines I've broken
the 400-kilobyte barrier in this Microsoft Word version. ^_^
Version 2.9
10 March 2001: Worked a bit on the layout to make the walkthrough easier to
read and easier to find a specific part. Also added Gusto's Air attack and
Sully's Tackle to the capsule monster chart.
Version 3.0:
16 March 2001: Added my e-mail address to this walkthrough, and some minor
details.
Version 3.2:
[first Released version]
19 March 2001: Added more details to Bonus: Casino on Forfeit island,
explained basic rules of most of the casino games. Except for the stud poker
and the flower slot machine, because they make no sense to me.
Version 3.3:
22 March 2001: The walkthrough is finally on-line, but I have still found
errors. Also added "Spelling, grammar and typing errors" as well as
"unfinished business" at the end of the walkthrough. Thanks to Joel Holcombe I
was able to tell the two clowns (bosses) of the treasure sword shrine apart.
Version 3.5:
27 March 2001: Expanded Appendix F with rumors. With the aid of Miguel
Aboytes I've added the rumor about using the 10 Iris treasures to open the
door near the third mystic stone, also placed a new tip on beating the master.
(Ancient Jelly) Thanks to Kevin Fanning I know what IP stands for; Item
points, this is added to Qualities section. It turns out to be that IP can
also mean Ikari Points. Appendix B: Changed the question marks into N/A at the
value column of the red chest items of the ancient cave, since you can't
sell/buy these items. Added the dropped items of the Silver dragon and Orky.
Thanks to Rubyheart for huge amount of things he added, they are listed at the
end in the "Credits" section.
Version 3.6:
16 April 2001: Another update on this gamefaq. The geographical location of
the unicorn was added to the dropped items section, thanks to Thomas Vickrey.
In the same part I've added lots of new enemies and their dropped items. "Iron
Kick" description was included at the Name Glitches part of Appendix F. Some
challenges were added as well to the stuff section.
Version 3.7:
6 May 2001: Celes Destiny helped me by correcting some errors I made in the
chart tables, and confirmed the gold eye as a dropped item of the gold dragon.
Added some new glitches like "brought 99 dragon eggs" and "defeated egg dragon
99 times". Some minor things fixed as well. Card_Shark gave info some on the
casino's blackjack, and Bahamut for an tactic that allows you to defeat Gades
on any level.
Version 3.9:
6 June 2001: A huge update; Got some info on the casino games, corrected some
of the glitches for they were inaccurate. The world's most difficult trick
walkthrough was added. Also added a chart list for every monster in the game.
Since this made the 'dropped items' section useless, I changed it into
'Monster list'.
Version 4.0:
16 August 2001: A huge spelling check, some poker hands are described, an
easy way to get the ancient key, and a hidden pot in North cave of Alunze were
added. Well, then this means that the "stud poker" game is all there is left
to be completed.
Version 4.1:
12 April 2002: Yes, I'm still alive. Even though there is not much altered in
this version I did add some things like the solution to the rumor of the Iris
treasures, I received a mail from Dang Nguyen who got a mail from Natsume
themselves. So this means that there is one rumor less in the world. Also a
new section called FAQ was added to Appendix F, it holds the most commonly
asked questions that I have received.
Version 4.3:
4 April 2003: Yep an update... only half a year later than expected, though.
This is probably on of the last time I will update this FAQ, some small
modifications have been made. Added some new tricks by Phoenix1911 (Check his
FAQ on Lufia 2 as well, it looks very good), 9inchNEL, and Bliz122122. Thanks
to all of you.
Version 4.4:
25 September 2003: I've been working on the Enemy Chart table again, added
some extra attacks. In chart tables I added an extra section for the
Experience Charts of both Party members and Capsule Monsters.
Version 4.4a:
06 December 2003: I only added Mercury Spirit to list of sites where this FAQ
should be available, with thanks to Midian.
Version 5.0:
1 January 2005: At first I didn't think I would do another update on this
walkthrough, but a massive amount (and that is still weakly expressed) of new
information has been discovered by Relnqshd mostly regarding the chart tables.
All his info is now added to the FAQ and also updated the Experience Chart.
See the credits list, for all of his contributions up to now. Also a lot of
newly found glitches have been added to list at the bottom.
Finally I included some differences between the Japanese and the other
(US/EUR/AUS) games. They can be found below the glitches section. One of the
changes is that the Casino is filled with women dressed up as bunnies in the
Japanese version of the Game and also some puzzles were modified.
Also a new Strategy (it's actually an exploited glitch) was created to defeat
the Egg Dragon in 1 round! Finally I had to remove the Mercury Spirit since it
turned out to be that Midian didn't have time for his site anymore.
Final remark is that I also added two additional translations from the PAL
version of the game: Deadly Sword -> Lethal Sword, Follower -> Henohman (with
typo). My guess is that both American translations were changed to prevent an
ambiguity with the other Deadly Sword and Follower respectively.
Version 5.1:
4 May 2005:
1. Updated the Walkthrough and added a description for the Japanese version
of the Treasure Sword Shrine Puzzle, since I did receive some mails about
it.
2. I added several other glitches to the 'glitches' section in Appendix F as
well. One of them is contributed by Matt Yanak, who told me about his
discovery about the sprite glitch in Alunze Basement.
3. Corrected some mistakes in the Walkthrough that Relnqshd pointed out to me
and added some information he gave about the Blackjack game.
4. Moreover I added some extra data on the characters initial statistics and
equipment.
5. I added a strategy that makes it easier to feed a Capsule
Monster; see the 'Feeding' section in Appendix A for more details. Thanks
to Laura Strange for the information.
6. Many Lufia Players don't seem to know that certain effects cannot be
combined, so I added a small section on elemental attacks in the
'Battle System' Section and again in Appendix D: Ancient Cave.
7. Finally ZeroAnt mentioned to me that I never ever mention Arek a single
time! I wasn't aware of this (Arek only seems to appear at the
introduction of the game) so I added a description of him in the Important
people.
Version 5.2:
12 July 2006: Added some information about skipping the rerun Dankirk north
dungeon, when you need to go to Gratze. Fixed some Japanese translation
errors. Also including the quirk which allows you to get more that 999 for HP
and MP.
Version 5.3:
22 March 2009: Thank you all for continue sending your mail containing
corrections, additions, etc. Yep, I'm still updating this FAQ. And this time
round I've also added the infamous level 0 glitch.
Version 5.31:
8 August 2010: Another minor update. Added the attacks for Kraken in the
monster list. Also included some more PAR codes on the courtesy of Drachen
Kiraa. He also found that I missed the Rage Knife in the item list and a
several other minor errors. Thanks for the feedback!
Version 5.4:
4 November 2018: After a long hiatus decided to update the document with
some mails that were received in between. This update is mostly corrections
found by Artemis.
==============================================================================
FAQ
==============================================================================
Here are some of the most commonly asked questions:
Q: Which Capsule monster is the best?
A: If you ask me I would choose Blaze in a regular game, because he's great in
short battles as long as he doesn't get hit. For the Ancient Cave I thought
that Flash and his healing abilities would be great, but I came to the
conclusion that he is too weak to be of any real use since he healing is
entirely random. So I guess I have to go with Blaze, Darbi or Gusto.
Darbi's Instant Attacks will work miracles against many enemies and Gusto
is a very fast CM that can also cancel out attacks making him last longer
in battle.
Q: How do I get my Capsule Monster to transform into M(aster) level?
A: This is most commonly asked about Blaze, since he needs the fruit when he's
'Not Hungry' on level 3. So he has to evolve to level 4, but you can change
your capsule monster's level. By choosing CHANGE this way you select him on
level 3, and then you feed him the Charm Fruit. This also applies to the
other capsule monsters.
Q: Shoulder button?!? What is it? Can you eat it???
A: I've been receiving loads of questions about the second block puzzle of
Treasure Sword Shrine. Most people haven't figured out that you need the
shoulder button in order to turn around, while remaining on the same tile.
When playing on an emulator check the configuration of you keypad, here you
will see key numbers that correspond with the L & R buttons.
Q: A boss is not there at the top of a tower / end of a dungeon. How can this
be? Is it a glitch?
A: Sometimes a boss will only appear after you met a certain person, or
triggered an important event. Camu for instance won't appear in Tanbel East
tower, if you didn't meet him in Tanbel. So always go to every village and
try to talk to at least the king or an other important person.
Q: Is Lufia 2 a prequel to Lufia?
A: Yes, the events in Lufia 2 took place before Lufia 1. So to say in Lufia 1
you start at Daos' Shrine where Maxim and the others defeat the Sinistrals,
after this event the game goes on 50 years in the future. Also take note
that in "Lufia - Fortress of Doom" Daos is "Master of Chaos" and Amon is
"Master of Terror", for some reason this was changed in "Lufia 2 - Rise of
the Sinistrals".
Q: The Underwater Shrine and the Last Field of the Ancient Cave are screwed
up. How can this be?
A: A little bug in the game is the cause of this, it was fixed in the European
and Australian version though. From what I can tell it is not hard to get
the top of both structures, just keep walking up and in case of the
Underwater Shrine you need to take three steps to the left or right when
you get stuck to get up.
Q: How can I revive a dead character, when I don't have regain or miracle?
A: A character can always be brought back to life by a priest, it is next to
the option Save, when you talk to him.
Q: Who is this 'Arek' person that you can see in the Introduction?
A: That be a good question. I myself am not even entirely sure what his
motivations are, also since he only appear near the start of the game not
much is known about Arek, he even hides his face behind an iron mask so no
one knows for sure. You can check the "Important People" section below from
a little more information.
Q: Will this FAQ ever be complete?
A: Not sure, I'm trying to put everything about this game in here. But I doubt
that I will ever be able to make it fully complete. So this might as well
be the last update for a long while.
Q: How can I effectively raise money early on in the game?
A: The Deadly swords (Lethal Swords for the aussies) in the Northern Labyrinth
regularly drop swords with the same name. If you sell them cursed they net
you 10,000 gold which is a big deal during that period in the game.
==============================================================================
Controls
==============================================================================
----------
Controller
----------
Here is a simple description of how the buttons are used on the SNES-
controller.
D-pad; used to move Maxim in one direction on the map, village or dungeon.
Also used to move cursor in item lists, command lists.
Start; used to start game or verify name.
Select; used to switch between time & gold / capsule monster's requested food
in main menu. In dungeons used to make the special skill ring appear, this
allows you to select arrow, hammer, restart, etc.
Top L button; you can use the top L button in a battle to choose a standard
attack for the first enemy quickly. In a dungeon you can use it to use a
special skill. Use it in sub-screens to move the menu faster upwards.
Top R button; use this in combat to attack multiple enemies, if the
attack/weapon/spell can be used on more than one character/enemy. Use in a
dungeon to turn in a direction without having to make a step or move. Use in
sub-screens to move the menu faster down/upwards.
Y-button; use this to use the skill you currently have equipped. (Special
skills can only be used in dungeons)
X-button; with this you can make the menu visible. If you press X while
selecting an item you will get info about that item.
B-button; usually used to cancel a command or attack. Use in shop menus to
return to back to the play screen. Swing your sword to cut bushes inside a
dungeon.
A-button; use it to confirm an attack or command. Also used to talk to people
in villages, open chests and pick up items.
----------------
Dungeon elements
----------------
These elements can only be found in dungeons and are usually used and needed
to solve puzzles. I've only noted the most commonly used elements meaning that
this list isn't fully complete.
Switches, Levers and Buttons:
-------------------------------------------
They open doors, lower ladders or make bridges appear. When standing next to
the switch press "A" to pull or push switches and levers. In some cases you
need a special skill to reach it. Walking over them usually activates a
button.
Small objects:
-------------------------------------------
Sometimes you have to grab and lift something like a box, pot or vase. Most
of the time you will have to use it to do something like opening a door or
putting it on a switch. Stand next to the item to lift it with "A".
Moving blocks and pillars:
-------------------------------------------
Stand next to the block or pillar and walk against it while pushing "A" to
move it. Sometimes you can only proceed when you moved a block or pillar a
particular square/tile. Note: blocks and pillars can only be pushed not
pulled. So once they're cornered they are useless. If you're stuck or can't
get any further use the "reset" spell to start over again and place everything
back into its original position.
Keys:
-------------------------------------------
In almost every dungeon you will have to collect the key to reach the boss.
By collecting the key of the dungeon you can open the other type, you know,
the "bigger-looking-reinforced-colored-with-a-lock-in-the-middle" doors. They
are usually hidden in a special blue chest.
Hint-tiles:
-------------------------------------------
In some dungeons you will find these white looking tables up against the
wall. These are hint-tiles; if you read them when standing in front of them
with "A" you can get a clue to help solve difficult puzzles.
Grass patches and bushes:
-------------------------------------------
Most of the time they block your way; so remove them with your sword by
pressing "B", or use a fire arrow on them. They can also be part of a puzzle,
when you're expected to do something else than normal.
Weakened walls / Damaged Floor tiles:
-------------------------------------------
Weakened walls can be found many dungeons. If a wall looks darker or shows
breaches it can usually be destroyed with an explosion of the Bomb or a hit
with the Hammer. Damaged floor tiles are often used to fall down one floor, if
there are no stairs nearby. How to use: Just walk over the tile to fall
through it.
Rocks:
-------------------------------------------
Some rocks can't be blown up and need to be pulverized with the hammer. Nuff
said.
Horse Statues / Blowers:
-------------------------------------------
These can be found in the dungeons of the mountain of no return and the Tower
of sacrifice respectively. There are two big differences between them:
1. It is not possible to walk past the front of a Horse statue, that is the
line in which their mystical wind blows. Normal blowers can be passed, when
you are walking against the wall opposite of them.
2. Horse statues can be moved and regular blowers not.
-----------------------
Sub screen options menu
-----------------------
You can get to the main (options) menu by pressing X in a dungeon, on board of
Excerion (boat and sub) or in a village. Here you will find the following
options:

Use 'Select' to switch between:
Time & Gold
CM's name & Requested food
ITEM:
Open the full list of items you have in your inventory, except for the
weapons and armors that have been equipped. In this screen you can use potions
to heal your characters. Once you have bought a Sonar you can use it to check
the number of chests in a dungeon as well. You can sort and/or dump items as
well to create order in the assortment. If you want to examine an item, select
in with "A", then press "X" to see the details of that particular item.
STATUS:
You see the qualities of a party member as well as the currently selected
equipment. Use R and L to switch between allies, you can also see the
percentage of IP a character has.
EXCHANGE:
Here you can change the position of your party members. I haven't found any
use for it, but it seems to be that people in the back sustain a little (I
think) less damage than the ones at the front. Also people in the front line
can deal more damage with the same attack. It only makes a difference in which
order they attack if they have the same AGL. When the characters have the same
AGL then the character in the front attacks first.
CAPSULE:
You can check your capsule monsters and their statistics. Their type, class
and special attacks are listed here as well. When you select FEED you can feed
them with your older weapons to make them evolve to a higher class. Their
names can be changed as well, if you like to call them different. Use CHANGE
to change between classes and types of capsule monsters.
CONFIG:
In the configuration you can set:
-Text speed; slow, medium and fast.
-Battle cursor; Delete or Remember.
When you choose 'remember' the cursor of a spell or IP you last selected is
still in that position in the next round or next battle.
-Status cursor; Delete or remember.
When you choose remember it means that the last selected item or spell that
you used in the options menu will be selected the next time.
-Sounds
Change sound from Stereo to Mono.
EQUIP:
In this sub screen you can set the weapons and armor for each ally. This way
you can equip someone with a weapon or armor you just found.
SCENARIO:
Here you will find all the keys and items important to the storyline (such as
the ruby apple) of the game that you have collected so far.
----------------------
Qualities (Statistics)
----------------------
A lot of people don't seem to know what the statistics of a character are used
for exactly, especially when you're talking about INT, GUT, MGR and most
importantly AGL. So I decided to include the meaning of all these qualities:
HP - Health/Hit points, simply means how much damage a character can take
before he/she is defeated.
MP - Magic points, if members of your party are able to use magic, then it's
important to keep an eye on their MP. If the MP is less than the cost of a
spell they simply can't cast the spell.
STR - Strength, number displayed shows how strong that character is, the
higher the number the more damage they can cause and the less they take.
Strength can be split up in two other categories: ATP; attack power and DFP;
defensive power.
AGL - Agility, if a person's AGL is higher than that of his enemy your
character will have the first strike/attack. Therefore a slow party gets hit
more often than a fast party. Red cores for instance have an AGL of 200.
INT - Intelligence, this is only important if the character can use magic and
some types of IP, the higher the intelligence the more damage a spell will
cause. INT also has a small effect on the growth of your MP.
GUT - Guts, the higher the number the faster your IP bar will grow. This will
allow you to use IP attacks more often. For capsule monsters it has an extra
meaning: the higher the amount of guts the longer they will stay in battles
even if they get hit. GUT is the only stat that doesn't go any higher than
199.
MGR - Magic resistance, a person with a high MGR will be damaged less by spell
than a person with low MGR. MGR is the only stat that can't be increased with
the aid of potions.
EXP - Experience, defeated enemies give you Exp. The more battles you win the
faster you will level up and the higher your statistics will reach, thus
making you stronger in the oncoming battles.
IP - Item/Ikari Points, when you get hit by your enemies your IP bar will grow
a bit, if your IP percentage is high enough you can perform special attacks.
The attack will unleash the power sealed inside the item, these special
attacks can do huge amounts of damage against your enemies when chosen
strategically.
--------
Diseases
--------
During a battle you can get hit by your enemies, and sometimes one of the
following diseases can be placed on your characters. I've noted all of the
diseases and some (if not all) of the possible cures and remedies.
- - - -
Poison
- - - -
If a character is poisoned you will notice it by the text balloon with black
Jolly Roger in it. Each round some HP will be taken from your character's
health. Unlike the other diseases it isn't cured at the end of a battle.
Possible cures:
-Antidote An item/IP that can be used to cure a poisoned character.
-Poison spell It does not always work but usually it does the trick.
-Die and revive This way poison is also cured, but this is not advised. Since
you will need to revive again.
-Priest Go to a church and ask the spiritual to cure you.
- - -
Sleep
- - -
If a character starts to sleep, he/she won't be able to fight. It's marked by
the text balloon with Zz. in it. At the end of a battle all characters will
automatically wake up and gain experience.
Possible cures:
-Awake Item that always wakes up 1 ally.
-Awaken spell This is not 100% effective, but most of the time it has the
right effect.
-Getting hit Sometimes when the sleeping character gets hit he/she will
wake up again.
-Get hit by you If you attack your own party members they always awaken!
-Reawaken / These two IPs can cure sleep
Wakening
-Luck With a little luck your ally will wake up on his/her own.
-Die and revive After they are revived they won't be sleeping anymore. That
makes sense.
-End of battle A person will automatically wake up after battle is finished.
- - - - -
Paralysis
- - - - -
A character can't move if he/she is paralyzed and therefore cannot attack. It
has actually the same effect as Sleep and can be cured.
Possible cures:
-Mystery pin This item will allow a character to move again.
-Luck Sometimes your ally will regain on its own.
-Getting hit If you get the paralyzed character gets hit he might be able
to move again.
-Die and revive As with the other diseases it is a way of curing paralyses,
but not advised.
-Paralysis Cure an IP that can be used to heal this status
-End of battle If a battle is over, paralysis will be instantly cured.
- - - - -
Confusion
- - - - -
This disease is I think the worst of all. It's marked by a text balloon with a
question mark. If this happens, you will lose control over that ally and
he/she will attack someone completely random. (even him/her self) this can be
very annoying, if you don't have the item to stop confusion.
Possible cures:
-Shriek This item will bring the ally back to his senses.
-Getting hit As with sleep it can sometimes be cured by an enemy attack.
-Get hit by you If you attack your own party members they always awaken!
-Luck If you have any luck, your character will regain on its own.
-End of battle After the battle is over, it will be cured as well.
-Die and revive It always works, but dead people are a useless if you don't
revive them.
- - - -
Silence
- - - -
This disease is very rare, it only happened a few times and you will notice it
by the text balloon with "---" in it. Now you will be unable to cast any magic
spells.
Possible cures:
-Free magic The IP of the light armor can cure the silence status
-End of battle After battle you will be cured from "Silence".
-Die and revive Still not my favorite method, because you need to cast rally
or use regain/miracle which are quite expensive.
- - -
Death
- - -
If a person receives more damage than his/her HP can bear, he/she will be
defeated. Be careful, because if all party members die (Capsule monster
excluded) you will be defeated and you will have to restart your game. There
are only a few ways to revive a character. Especially in the beginning of the
game it's hard to revive, because you don't have many reviving items.
Possible cures:
-Regain and miracle These items will surely revive you.
-Rally and valor These two spells can revive your characters.
-Priest Go to one of the churches and ask the spiritual to revive
one of your fallen characters.
- - - - - - -
Cursed items
- - - - - - -
(Not really a disease as such, but I didn't know where to place it else)
When you equip a weapon like deadly sword / evil jewel / etc., you will be
unable to unequip that item again. So you must lift the curse of that item,
and there are two ways of doing so.
Possible cures:
-Go to a Priest Located in every church, and ask him to uncurse the item.
-Curselifter Uncursing an item can also be done by using a Curselifter,
which can be found in any red chest inside the Ancient Cave.
-Black Mirror You can unequip a cursed "black mirror" without uncursing it
by entering & exiting the ancient dungeon/cave. (handy if
you want to unequip it, but do not want to lift the curse )
------
Skills
------
Arrow
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Location: -
You will have this skill at the start of the game, use it to stun enemies or
use it to trigger a switch that is out of reach. They can reach till the end
of the screen if nothing is blocking their path.
Restart
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Location: Secret Skills Cave
This is used to reset dungeon puzzles to their original state, when you figure
you can't solve the puzzle anymore or if you want to retry.
Bomb
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Location: Alunze Basement
Used to solve puzzles, blow up walls and destroy bushes. The bomb will explode
6 steps or moves after you placed it down.
Hook
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Location: Gordovan West Tower F3
Use it to pull yourself over huge gaps to the other side, if there is a pole
or pillar over there. For the rest it has the same properties as an arrow.
Hammer
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Location: Flower Mountain
The hammer is used to move pillars that are out of reach. You can crush
rocks/weakened walls with it, also used for stunning enemies in dungeons.
Fire arrow
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Location: Phantom Tree Mountain
The same as an arrow, the only difference is that these arrows are on fire,
which means that you can burn bushes out of reach or entire rows in one go.
-------------
Battle system
-------------
Lufia's battle system is purely based on strategy, and each round everybody
gets a turn to attack. The order of attacks is depending on the AGL stat of
the character or monster. You can get an extra round, if you manage to attack
an enemy in his back when you were in the dungeon (got in first). However
beware that if an enemy succeeds to attack you in the back they will get an
extra round before the initial battle commences (surprise attack).
- - - - - - - -
Battle options
- - - - - - - -
When a battle starts you will see on the lower part of the screen the HP/MP/IP
and a picture of each member. In the middle you will see three options. You
can choose between:
Action Icon Direction
------------- ------------ ---------
Switch places Two arrows Up
Attack Sword Default
Run away Running man Down
Use the first option to change the position of you character. I haven't found
any good use for it, so I never really use it. The third option is run away,
if you choose this you will flee from your enemies and return to the dungeon
or world map. Note that you can't run in a boss battle. The middle or second
option is Attack and is selected as default, when you press "A" you will get
the "Battle methods" option.
- - - - - - - -
Battle methods
- - - - - - - -
Here you will see five options you can now select:
Attack (Sword, Default):
Use this to attack your enemy with the object your character is currently
equipped. Sometimes your character will make a critical hit. This is noted by
the light flashes, and usually does more than double damage.
Use Magic (Cane, Up):
This will open up the magic spell screen, here you will see all the spells
you currently have. A spell with white letters can be used, so select the
spell and choose the monster(s) or character(s) you want to use your spell on.
If you don't have enough MP or when you are silenced, you won't be able to
cast a magic spell. Upon casting a spell that increases your statistics (e.g.
trick, courage, etc.) you can select all 4 allies without making the spell
less effective. This little trick however doesn't apply on offensive spells.
Defend (Shield, Right):
Use this option when you need to heal a person, or if you wish to wait a
turn. When you select defend your DFP will be raised for one round, but you
can't attack. This option is also used, when you are "harvesting". (look at
the Ancient cave section for details about this tactic)
Use IP Attack (Flame, Down):
This will open up a different version of your equipment screen. Here you will
see your current equipment and IPs of those weapons. If your IP bar has grown
enough you can perform some special attacks that can be devastating to your
enemies. I usually spare up my IP to use it against the bosses, for IP attacks
are the best way to defeat strong enemies very quickly.
Use Item (bag, left):
If you want to heal/revive someone in a battle you can use an item with this
option.

Important word on combining elemental attacks
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Some combinations of the elemental weaknesses do not always work, especially
if you are wearing a Sea / Undead / Dragon Ring. If you have been wondering
why the Lizard Blow or the Flying Blow do so little damage on enemies that are
weak to it may well be because you are wearing the ring on that particular
Character. The above mentioned rings turn all physical attack into the
corresponding element and the following elements/types can NOT be combined for
combo attacks:
Combinable NOT Combinable (With anything other than Neutral)
------------- ----------------
Fire Hard
Water Flying
Ice Dragon
Thunder Sea
Light Insect
Shadow
Earth
This means that these attacks will only be effective if used on its own. So
if you combine for instance:
Weapon Ring Damage Reason
------- ------ ------------ ----------------------------------------
Water + - = Water Seems logical
Hard + - = Hard Seems logical
Neutral + Dragon = Dragon Neutral is the only combinable type
Neutral + Sea = Sea Neutral is the only combinable type
Fire + Light = Fire & Light These Elements can be combined
Thunder + Dragon = Thunder Dragon won't have effect
Flying + Sea = Neutral Flying & Sea cancel each other out
Light + Light = Light No effect can be doubled
Dragon + Dragon = Dragon No effect can be doubled
Shadow + Light = Shd. & Light Yes, opposite elements can be combined*
Insect + Light = Light Insect is cancelled out by Light
* = Most monster however are strong to the opposite element that they are weak
to so they effects are cancelled out.
A final note that I would like to add is that IP attacks are also affected by
the Rings too. The Gades Blade IP for example 'Octo-strike' is Light Elemental
if you use the Undead Ring.
==============================================================================
Main Characters
==============================================================================
* = Level 99 statistics are the minimum base statistics a character will reach
through leveling up, due to random level ups these statistics may end up 5 or
so points higher than the indicated values. Also take note that using potions
(and the statistic boost you get from the Divine Shrine) won't affect the
level ups, therefore the statistics will always end up higher when you near
the end of the game. In the Ancient Cave all characters get a small boost at
level 1 as well; that is why Maxim Initial statistics (level 1) that are
listed here are not the same as the stats when you start in the Ancient Cave.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maxim - Monster Hunter:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main character of this game, he lives in Elcid and he hunts monsters down
for a living. After meeting Iris in the cave to Sundletan he starts his quest
to find the Dual blade so he can defeat the Sinistrals, for he turns out to be
the one chosen by destiny.
+: He doesn't have any specific weaknesses, his statistics are overall.
-: His spells are weaker than the magic of the other spell casters.

join you when you go to the ancient tower to confront Gades again. Dekar meets
his demise after Idura's defeat in the north temple of Karlloon... He can't
use magic, but since his INT is so low it wouldn't cause much damage even if
he could use it.

gap between Dekar and Arty, and therefore you can only use him in a small part
of the game.

Other important people
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arek - The Absolute:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a very mysterious figure, perhaps even more than Iris... What we do
know about him is that he stands above the four Sinistrals and he also ordered
the four to eliminate the person who made the Dual Blade 'ring' again. Daos
mentions him once near the end of the game. Other than that he only appears in
the introduction scene, where he has a sort conversation with Erim. He asks
her who should rule the world: the Humans or the Sinistrals.
Iris - The Enigma:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will meet this character various times in the game, she will usually come
in a nick of time to save your butt in critical times. She tells about - the
dual blade - the sword forged to destroy Sinistrals. In the end she turns out
to be someone you might not have expected....
Jeros - Son of Maxim:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The son of Maxim and Selan, with him being born and carrying on Maxim's
bloodline there will be Lufia: the fortress of doom.
Camu & Idura - Two Silly Henchmen:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They are both henchmen of the Sinistrals, and they will do everything the
Sinistrals tell them to do: Camu tried to kidnap Guy's sister in Tanbel. Idura
made a feeble attempt to invade the Bound kingdom, he kidnaps not only Jeros
and all the young women of Narcysus, but also Iris. Idura is finally defeated
after the third battle in the shrine to the north of Karlloon.
==============================================================================
Game modes
==============================================================================
START
This is the normal option of playing the game in story mode.
RETRY
This is also the game in story mode, but all your enemies (incl. Bosses) drop
4x normal experience and gold. This nice feature doesn't work in the Ancient
Cave however. This option becomes available after you completed the game the
first time.
GIFT
This mode becomes available after you finished the game in RETRY mode. It is
a bonus game that you can only play in the ancient cave. However you can
select your own party. Meaning that you can have a party with: Maxim, Tia,
Dekar, and Artea for instance.
==============================================================================
Story
==============================================================================
War knows many causes: greed, hate or desire for power. The Sinistrals began a
war for the most selfish reason of all; they wanted the land of Lufia for them
alone to rule. They knew that it's time for them to strike, when the dual
blade started to ring. Daos - the leader of the Sinistrals - heard about the
song of the Dual blade and believed that the time has come. The Dual blade
would insure their victory, and all pathetic and despicable humans would soon
know the power of the Sinistrals and the Dual blade.
With the aid of the sword the evil Sinistrals would be victorious against
anyone, but the humans weren't defeated, yet. Although they have the knowledge
of the power of the Dual blade, they would never achieve their goal as long as
Maxim has anything to say about the future of Lufia. Guided by destiny Maxim
will meet other people who will join him in his battle against the evil
Sinistrals. Together they will find the cause of the evil and exterminate it,
so they will triumph over the Sinistrals.
Victory doesn't wait for the ones who wait, it's time for deeds.
==============================================================================
Walkthrough
==============================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The request of the old man
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Elcid--
Here in Elcid the story begins about Maxim and his fight against the four
Sinistrals.
After the chitchat with Tia you will go outside. Now you can try to walk out
of the village, if you do so the elder of the village will stop you. He will
ask you to go to the cave to south of Elcid for some basic training. Since you
don't have much choice you might as well do as he says, time to get moving.
--Secret Skills cave--
Chests: 0, (total amount of chests found; 0)
-
Monsters:
Lizard, Red jelly
Boss:
-
-The elder will teach you how to fight the single red jelly. Here you can
observe the movements of your enemies. This can be important later on in the
game if you want to avoid a battle with stronger enemies. Remember that
monsters can only move if you move. Also if you attack a monster in the back
you will get an extra round, but if a monster attacks you in the back it will
get an extra turn against you.
-The old-timer leaves you the choice to fight or flee. After that you simply
use an arrow in the next room to make a bridge appear. A little bit further
you will see a pillar and a switch. once you moved the pillar on the switch
you will receive the restart spell, use it in the puzzle parts of the dungeons
if a crucial pillar is stuck or if you made an error.
-You will have to fall from one of the edges marked with arrows, then you have
to kill all the monsters to open the door. Don't forget to heal yourself from
time to time. (From here on I won't bother you with suggestions to fight
enemies or not, unless they're important in a puzzle or something like that.
Just make sure you experience level and gold reserves are high enough)
-Here is where you have to do some lawn mowing to find the switch, so just
press 'B' to uncover the button below a suspicious looking patch. The solution
to the next part is to pick up a pot, turn around, put it on right switch, get
the other pot and put it on the switch to the left to open the last door.
Mission complete!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Monsters in the cave to Sundletan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Elcid--
Head back to Elcid, because dinner is served by Tia. After some more talking
to her you will step outside. Walk over the bridge and you will hear someone
approaching. A messenger tells about monsters blocking the cave to Sundletan,
(Just back and duty calls again) but first you might want to buy some spells
or maybe a rapier and a small shield. Chances are that you don't have enough
money, so go out and kill some monsters until you can buy a rapier, small
shield and the "strong" spell.
--Cave to Sundletan--
Chests: 7 (7)
Antidote, Dragon egg, Escape, Hide armor, Life potion, Magic jar,
Power potion
Monsters:
Bat, Lizard, Moth, Mushroom, Red jelly, Spider
Boss:
Lizard man
-At the entrance you will see a red haired goof who talks about a lady who
just came past him, but don't mind that right now. Walk through the door and
across the bridge. The entrance ahead of you leads to a room with the exit to
Sundletan; however it requires a key to open it. So go to the right and open
the door above first.
-Pick up a pot and put it on the ground tile one space down to the right of
the spikes. Pick up the other pot and walk against the other pot, then turn
around without moving (use R button). Put the pot down onto the button to
lower the spikes, turn 180 degrees and pick up the other pot and put it on the
other button. Walk (you will have to pick up the first pot) through the left
door to find a life potion. Walk through the right door and cut some grass to
find "escape".
-Back to the room with the bridge, below you'll find a door that doesn't
budge. Just cut the single grass patch to find a button that unlocks it.
Further on you will see a chest to the left. The only way to get to it is to
cut the third most left grass patch, here's a gap where you can walk through
the wall, at the end you can find a chest that holds an Antidote. Go to next
room. Here you will see two doors two pots and 4 patches of grass. Start
mowing again, to reveal two hidden switches. Place the pots on them to open
the doors. You don't have to go through the right door, because in the room
behind it leads to a dead end. So take left one, move the blocks out of the
way so you can go down the stairs.
-Here is a room with some bats around, if you walk down on the left side you
will find a power potion (Use it if you want). Hit the switch and fall down at
the edges marked with arrows. Walk over the bridge and you can find a spot on
the left wall were you can walk through. Here you will to come at a secret
stairway. Walk down to find "Hide armor", a magic jar and an already opened
chest. Walk back to the bridge you made and go down the stairs to find a place
to heal HP/MP. You can save on here as well on the star tile. Be on level 5 or
6 at least, because in the next room it's time for your first boss.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Lizard man (Look at Appendix D, to find all statistics for bosses)
----------------
HP: 80
Weak: -
Strength: -
Protection: -
Specials: -
On level 6 it took me 6 rounds to beat him, without having to heal. Since this
battle is one on one there is not much to say about this fight, just use a
potion if your HP is low.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-After his defeat you will receive the key to Sundletan. Don't forget come
back later on, when you have the hook so you can to collect the Dragon egg.
After the fight you will meet a woman who will ask Maxim about his natural
fighting skills, she also wants to know what he thinks about it; why would he
posses those skills. She disappears as quickly as she came leaving Maxim alone
again. Go through the big door that was locked before, so you can go to
Sundletan.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Earthquakes in Sundletan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Sundletan--
Upon entering the village he's welcomed by an earthquake and a villager.
After you talk to some other people, you will find out that some believe that
a fish is responsible for the earthquakes. Time for some investigating, but
first you can do some shopping here. Don't buy a weapon here, because you will
find the insect crush in the Lake cave which is more effective on those insect
type monsters. Instead buy a Cap and some spells. After you're done you can
leave the village and enter the cave to the northwest.
--Lake Cave--
Chests: 5 (12)
Insect crush, Lake key, Miracle, Power potion, Speedy ring
Monsters:
Baby frog, Beetle, Blue jelly, Eagle, Mosquito, Mushroom, Red jelly, Spider
Boss:
Big catfish
-First hit the switch to your left with an arrow. Make a bridge with the three
tiles, and keep on walking up through the next chamber. Take the upper door
first to end up in a room with three enemies. Beat them all and most
importantly remember which order you beat them. (If you run out of HP in these
battles go down one room from here to find two healing pads) Once they are all
three defeated you will see them again, hit them again with an arrow in the
right order. If you do it right the top right door will open, go through, down
the stairs to collect the Insect Crush. You might as well equip this new
sword.
-Back in the room with the Blue jelly, go through the left door. Cut grass and
fall down the 'middle-lower' part of the weakened floor. This will trigger the
right door, but first go through the door at the bottom of the screen. Here
you will see a chest with a power potion, use it to become a little stronger.
Walk back and go through the top right door and behind it you will find two
pillars. Move the pillar below one space up to open a door. Walk through and
go to the right of this room with the grass patches. Cut them until you can
reach the top of the room, walk through the left wall here to collect a
miracle. Go back and head for the door with the hint tile next to it. Fight
all the monsters in the small passageway. You can use IP: bomb attack if there
are multiple enemies to defeat them faster (Note: this room is also good for
leveling up). After they're all gone you can collect the Speedy ring.
-Back in the room with the pillars, move the right pillar on the button. In
order to open the other door, move the lower right block to find some stairs.
Here you will see a small puzzle. All you have to do is: change the triangle
so in points up. Since you can only move the three outer blocks not much can
go wrong. Just move the left block one space up and then two spaces to the
right, move the lowest block two to the left and one up and push the last
moveable block one square down. The door will open allowing you to get the
Lake key.
-Back at the place where you fell through the ceiling, use the left entrance
to find a save point, or the right door to another small puzzle. First make a
bridge over the water to the switch using three tiles, then pick up the fourth
tile and put it in the water on the spot to the right of the switch itself.
Trigger the switch so the water lowers and walk down the stairs. Pick up the
last tile, and use it to create the final bridge. Climb the ladder and go
through the door to meet the boss of this cave.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Big Catfish (Can drop catfish jewel)
-----------------
HP: 200
Weak: -
Strong: Water
Protection: All Ailments, not Instant
Specials: Flash, Mega quake
To beat this one fast, use the eagle rock's (an eagle sometimes drops it) IP,
since it does double damage. The Catfish's regular attack can cause about 10
HP damage, his mega quake does 20 HP damage, and Flash seems to hurt you by
about 30 points. So you should heal yourself one or two times, but in the end
Maxim should be victorious.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-If you want to collect a Catfish jewel; this item is sometimes dropped by the
Catfish and can be used inside the Ancient Cave. Level up to a least 10, build
up on IP and save at the save point just before you go to the Catfish. This
way you can start over again if he doesn't drop it the first time.
-When he is defeated the Catfish promises that he won't cause any more quakes.
He then decides to go to sleep at the bottom of the lake once again. After
restoring peace head back to Sundletan.
--Sundletan--
Once you've returned to Sundletan Maxim will hear from the villagers that a
young woman went to the Lake Cave as well to find you. So you better get back
to the cavern to find her.
--Lake Cave--
Go to the room where you fought those three creatures in the same order to
obtain the Insect Crush. Upon entering a skeleton and a goblin will attack
Tia. It's is up to you to dispose of these two monsters. Their health is near
30 HP so it should not take too long to defeat them and if saving her once
wasn't enough, Tia will be attacked again by one goblin. Defeat him too, then
after some more talking Tia and Maxim decide to go together. So Tia joins your
party and travels alongside.
Once Tia joins you the bloke blocking the portal to the north of the Lake
cave will step aside allowing you to get past it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capsule monster: Jelze
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Foomy woods--
Walk to the left on the world map after passing through the portal and then
head south to find the first capsule monster in the Foomy woods. He is a Foomy
with a default name that goes by: "Jelze", from this moment on a Capsule
Monster will appear in battle that will help you fight enemies. Take a look at
Appendix A for more information on Capsule Monsters.
Feeding him weapons will make him evolve into a stronger form. Alunze's shop
has enough cheap items that will make Jelze evolve to his second form. With
the aid of Sundletan's Apple cider for 1000 Gold per piece, you can evolve him
to level 3 right away. You can probably only afford that much, if you are
playing in RETRY mode. It is not necessary to get him up to his third class,
but by making a CM (Capsule Monster) evolve they will become more powerful and
gain new attacks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. The coronation of the king
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Alunze--
You can go to village to gamble in the "Mini-Casino" at the inn, but the
stuff here is very expensive and the flame charm is the only thing that might
be handy later on against the boss of the Ruby cave. You can talk to the
people here and they will talk about the main event that is going to happen
around here: The king will be crowned very soon. So you better give him a
small visit before traveling on.
It's a good idea to shop by in this town for a Short sword, Armor cloth and
Buckler on Maxim, a Long knife and a Mini shield for Tia.
--Alunze castle--
Walk into the castle and up stairs to the room of the king. Once you are
there two soldiers come running into the room telling everybody that the crown
is a fake. So they say that they will take it to an expert for closer
examination. Just before they leave the commander asks who they are. After
this short interrogation the two soldiers are unmasked! They actually were two
thieves named Bart & Bertie. Bart tries to use a bomb so they can escape, but
not everything worked how it was supposed to do. Still they manage to escape
with the crown, from under the king's nose. It's your turn to do something
about it.
Don't go down the stairs, but head outside the castle's throne room and on
your right you will see a path leading to the stairway for the basement. Go
down twice and you will find a guard who got hit by one of the bombs Bart &
Bertie threw at him. He allows you to investigate the basement of the castle.
--Alunze castle Basement--
Chests: 9 (21)
Bomb, Coat, Dragon egg, Escape, Head band, Light knife, Miracle,
Secret fruit, Water jewel
Monsters:
Baby frog, Bat, Big bat, Buffalo, Centopez, Cobalt, Eagle, Mad horse,
Mosquito, Needle lizard
Boss:
-
-Talk to the guard here if you please and continue on. Go through the first
door and head down another room, put the pot on the switch. In the next room
place one of the blocks on the switch causing the path leading down to become
one space wider. Move the other block down on the left side so you're able to
push it to the left on top of the other switch to open this door. Fight the
mad horse and collect the Bomb.
-Go back to the room with the single Centopez, choose the Bomb with 'Select'
and use it on the weakened wall section. Go through and you will be in a huge
room with a pot in the middle and a switch to the left of it. Put the pot on
the switch so the floor will fill up the gap, making it able for you to cross
it. This allows you to collect the Headband, if you head up from there you
will see a lone chest. You can't get there until you get the Hook-skill, so
you have to come back later to collect the Water jewel.
-Down the stairs and again through the door, here you will find two ways to go
one up using the bomb on the weakened wall and another one leading down. If
you go down you find a bat, defeat it to open a path to an HP / MP Heal tiles
and a Save tile. After powering up you can go through the wall in the other
room by using a bomb. This will lead you to a room with a small bridge. Go
through the door again, and use the pot to the left on the top left switch to
open the door with a chest containing Escape. Use the pot on the other switch
to get in a small but long room with two bats. Push the block at the right
end, place a bomb at the place the block stood to open the way to a new room.
-Here you will find a puzzle with colored blocks. There are multiple ways of
solving this puzzle, if you form three or more of the same color on a row they
will disappear. The best way to explain it is by making some "simple" ASCII
drawings:
Maxim = m
Yellow block = Y
Red block = R
Blue block = B
Start Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 Picture 4

-Solving this puzzle lowers the spikes and will open the door to you right.
Behind the door you will find a chest containing a coat. Continue on to the
next room. Push the left moveable block down, the right block the right, walk
one step down, move the block so you can pass through. Next you'll find a
teleporter, but first walk to the left and move the block you see here one a
space to the left, leave the other one for now.
-Put the pot on the top-left switch, step on the teleporter and you'll be
transported. If you'd like to have a Dragon egg, select your bomb, place it
next to the crate, and walk over the spikes before it explodes. If you failed,
use 'Restart' to return back on the stairs. The floor mysteriously fills up
the gap filled with water and you can now collect the first of the 8 Dragon
eggs. You will need these later on so don't worry about them right now. Head
down through the door and push block, move it 2 spaces down and the spikes
will disappear.
-Head back to the teleporter and place the pot on the top right switch.
Teleport and then press down first so you can walk around the sides along
spike maze. On the right side of the maze, there should be a small path
leading to the wall with the crack. Place a bomb and move 6 steps, this will
open the way to a chest with a Miracle inside. Step back on the teleporter, go
back and enter the maze again. Walk up through the mini maze to find some
Secret fruit, keep this in your inventory. It will be handy at some point for
evolving Jelze.
-Go back again and put the pot on the down right switch, step on the
teleporter once more. Press down so the Mad horse will be trapped between
three walls. Walk to either left or right, then up and towards the Mad horse.
Defeat him in order to get the chest, which contains a Light knife.
-Finally use the lower left switch and teleport for the last time. In a room
you must defeat the 3 Cobalts, watch their walking patterns and attack them.
After they are all defeated the door will open leading to the area where you
lowered that line of pins earlier on. Go left, down the stairs, through the
door to meet up with Bart & Bertie. After some talking they escape with a
waterslide and leave you "trapped". Once you regain control over you're
characters again hit the switch and walk to the upper part of the room, then
down through a door. In this room you should find the crown which those
villains lost while trying to escape.
--Alunze castle--
Back at the king's, give him his crown back. He is so grateful that he let's
you choose your reward: Money, Princess, King or Nothing. The best choice is
'nothing' for the king will then reward you for being modest.
The options are:
--------------------------
Princess; 500 gold pieces
King; 1000 gold pieces
Money; 2000 gold pieces
Nothing; 3000 gold pieces
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Abel and the key
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Entrance of North-west cave--
After returning the crown, you can go to the cave northwest of Alunze. Here
you will find a small boy named Abel. When Tia has talked to him it will
become clear that he was playing around with the key of the Tanbel Shrine
Door. Abel saw an evil monster, got scared and dropped the key. So, it up to
you to explore the cave and find that key.
--North-west cave--
Chests: 14 (35)
Brave, Eron hat, Jet helm, Tuff buckler, Hi-magic, Hi-potion(2x),
Horse rock, Light armor, Miracle(2x), Power brace, Shrine key, Witch ring
Enemies:
Bat, Big bat, Centopez, Cobalt, Lizard, Moth, Mega moth, Needle lizard,
Red bat, Small crab
Boss:
Regal goblin
-Walk down the ladder at the beginning, walk a bit up, stand next to the
spikes and chest, choose your arrow and shoot one against the switch. You can
now collect a Hi-potion. Walk up on the other ladder, and form a bridge with
the tile. To your right you will see a door, go through and you will be in a
room with 2 monsters, 3 pots, 3 switches and some rocks at the bottom. You
need a Hammer to break those rocks so come back later on to collect the Eron
hat and Tuff buckler. Place the 2 pots on the switches. Finally pick up a
third pot hidden behind the right pillar. It is hard to spot, but it is there.
-In the next room there is not much to do, so continue to the next door. Here
you will see a weakened piece of floor at the bottom. Step on it to fall down
one floor, move the block you see here a space the right or left, walk one
step up and push the other block one space up. Walk around it and push it two
spaces down, the block should be on the switch and keeps the door opened for
you. Move on to find a chest with a Horse rock in it, push the first block you
see one space up or down, then push the second one until you can walk around
it. Go down through the door, here's an invisible button hidden, locate it by
walking over it, then place the vase on the ground on that position. A
stairway will appear which you need later on, go back and take the other door.
-Here you can walk through the middle section of the wall leading to some
stairs. In the room down there is a Light armor. Go back again, and proceed
through the next 2 rooms without taking any of the stairs. You should find
yourself in a chamber with to two healing pads, and a vine growing against the
wall. Cut it to find Brave and a Miracle.
-Go through the door and down the stairs you created by placing the pot on the
right position, you will be in a very large room with a block and a button
behind some fast growing weeds. The idea here is to put some bombs on the
weeds so you can push the block over them in less then three moves. (Don't
forget you can turn without using a move with R) After you've done this, a
ladder will appear. Go up the left branch to reach a switch, hold distance so
that you're still standing on the other side of the gap. Then fire an arrow
and the wall will break apart. If you where standing in the middle of the wall
you may have fell down. The walkthrough will be a little different, but not
much so I assume you stayed atop of the wall.
-Head back to the stairs and walk back past the healing tiles. Go through the
door and the stairs. Three chests are here on your right containing Hi-potion,
Hi-magic and Power brace. Be ready though, because as soon as you touch those
chests the spikes you just walked over will extend and they can only be
lowered by defeating all the enemies. Once you're free again create a bridge
to the other side of the water using the 2 pillars. Use the other two pillars
in order to create a bridge next to the right wall. Here you can walk through
the wall to collect the Witch ring. Go up and to the far right to find Jet
Helm in a chest. Go down the stairs above the water.
-First go through the far right. Here you are in a room with water, hit the
switch (water lowers) and head back. Go down with the left stairs and head up
via the other stairway. If you want to collect a Miracle it is best to walk
under the small bridge and through the wall, leading down to a secret room. Go
back, and this time climb the ladder, enter the next room with a second
switch. Hit it, go back again to where you skipped the door that was leading
up. Because you activated the two switches the water rose and the two bridge
parts combined into one. Heal and save here, blow up the wall above you to
meet the boss of this cave.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Regal goblin
------------------
HP: 500
Weak: -
Strong: -
Protection: -
Specials: Calling Companions (Goblin/Goblin Mage) + an Attack
His attacks cause about 20-25 HP damage, when you are at level 13. A couple of
IPs like the Eagle rock (Dive attack), the Short blade's (Ice attack), Tia's
Spark spell and Jelze's special attacks should finish him. Since your team
consists of three characters it shouldn't be too hard. He may summon a goblin,
but those are very weak so don't worry about them. According to Relnqshd the
"Drowsy" Spell does miracles in this battle.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-After his defeat you can collect the Shrine Key. If you don't want to fight
your way back to the entrance use an 'Escape'.
--Shrine to Tanbel--
Here you will find Abel, who will promise not to play around with the key
anymore. You will also meet Hilda around here. She owns a hotel in Tanbel and
is very happy to see that the key has returned to the shrine. So open the door
and go to Tanbel to meet up with her again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Camu kidnaps Hilda
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Note: You can get the Fire Dagger, Camu Armor and Pearl Brace right away
if you go to the top of Tanbel East Tower before you meet Guy in
Tanbel. These items can be useful in regular combat and you need to
get these items in a separate round, since you can't get them when you
meet Camu.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
--Tanbel--
When you arrive in Tanbel you will meet Hilda who introduces you to her
little brother Guy. He wants to duel with Maxim, just when they get started
something happens. Someone named Camu (one of the henchman of the Sinistrals)
appears. He tries to kidnap Hilda, but Guy doesn't allow it. Then Camu summons
two slaves to fight you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mini-boss: Follower (2x)
------------------------
HP: 150
Weak: Water
Strong: -
Protection: -
Specials: -
Guy will also be on your side in this battle. The followers are not so strong
they only have 150 HP each. You can take care of these goons without too much
trouble; in two or three rounds. If you do have trouble beating these clowns
up, I suggest you train some more to gain more EXP.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the battle there will be some talking and it's decided to pursue Camu
to the south-east Tower of Tanbel. Before you leave it might be wise to do
some shopping. Buy some Kukris, since thunder power of the IP is effective on
Camu. Also buy some magic spells, because your enemies are getting stronger
and the elements are starting to come into play. Example: If you meet a
creature like a Scorpion it's a good thing to cast a water or an ice spell,
but don't attack them with fire because they're almost immune to that element.
--Tanbel south-east Tower--
Chests: 5 (40)
Camu armor, Fire dagger, Jute helm, Pearl brace, Sky key
Enemies:
Big crab, Goblin, Imp, Needle lizard, Newt, Poison lizard, Small crab,
Skeleton, Scorpion
Boss:
Camu
-At the entrance take the left door walk over the marked tile, move 3 blocks
on the left, right and lower switches. A little further down you will see
three blocks, move one of them down, pick up the pot, walk to the door, turn
around using R and drop the pot. The door will open allowing you to go F2.
-Go through the door, press the switch the goblin is guarding, go outside walk
towards the next entrance and go inside the tower again. Push the pillar to
the left to open both passages, go up the stairs 2 times. Here should be two
doors and a skeleton. First take the door on the right, defeat the crab and
walk over the button from the south side so the metal blocks won't appear. Go
outside, walk up the ladder, press the switch and a platform will be lowered.
-Back to the room with the skeleton, take the other door. Here you must push
the pillar on the square that looks different, if done correctly 4 markings
will appear. (3 visible, and one behind the pillar) Place the four pots on
those positions and the door will open. Head down, don't take the stairs, but
continue on by walking down. A skull will be located near the lower wall if
you walk over it you will notice a small dust cloud. Use a bomb to blow up the
skeleton and a button will appear. Press the button and a new path is opened.
Go outside down the ladder and inside. Here you will see three pillars. Each
of them will make a sound if you step on the tile at its front. Imitate those
sounds, start with lowest and work you way up. Using your sword, then arrow
and last the bomb. The door will open so you can collect the sky key from the
blue chest.
-Go back up the stairs I told you to skip earlier on. From here on down, use
the Healing / Save tiles if you like, go outside walk over the platform you
lowered, walk through the entrance, up through the door. This is some sort of
"clock". The pillar is the big hand and the block the small hand, to open the
door you must set it on 9:00. That is put the block on the left mark and the
pillar on the upper mark; the door should open. There's a switch behind it,
use it to complete the ladder to Camu chamber. Note: If it's 12:00 a new door
will form in the wall leading to the "Instant Death" protecting Jute helm. A
graphical picture would look like this:

Go outside, move up the final ladder and then open the last door with the key
to meet up with Camu. You might want to save first, because he is harder than
the other bosses you previously encountered.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Camu (Rarely drops Camu jewel)
----------
HP: 1500
Weak: Thunder
Strong: Fire
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Buster attack, Calling companions (Slave), Sleep stinger
It's best to use swords that have thunder power. He is more dangerous than the
other bosses you have fought. If you have a Catfish jewel equip Tia with it,
the Catfish jewel's IP does more damage when the person who uses it has a high
INT. Tia can also cast Flash (a thunder spell), Maxim and Guy can use the
Kukri's IP thunder-blast. If he summons a Slave you don't really have to kill
him first, because the cause not much damage. Jelze's Foomy punches and head
butts usually clobber them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Camu's defeat Iris will 'coincidently' appear and transport Maxim and
the others to Tanbel.
--Tanbel--
Hilda will have to stay in bed, because she appears to be very ill. Guy then
decides to join Maxim and Tia, because he feels it is his destiny to fight
against the dark and demonic forces.
--Tanbel south-east Tower--
You probably noticed those three chests behind Camu. After you defeated him,
you can go to the chamber of Camu again to collect: Fire dagger, Camu armor
and pearl brace. Finally go through the other door to find the exit to
Clamento. Do so now, because the fire dagger is important for the next boss.
Also you can actually get the equipment before you fight Camu! If you go up
the tower before sparring with Guy in Tanbel, Camu won't be there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. The legend of the Ruby apple
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Clamento--
In this little village the super-rich Rochy owns every house. He's willing to
pay a great amount of money for the one who can bring him the ruby apple.
There's also a shop where glasswork is sold. It turns out to be that the shop
doesn't seem to run as good as it normally did. The husband of the shop keeper
has left home to find the Ruby apple. Maxim and the others decide to help the
lady, by going to the ruby cave to find that apple and her husband. Don't
forget to buy some useful spells like Brave; this spell is very useful to
raise your defense in combat. Also Release and Mystery pins are valuable,
since we will be battling the Tarantula Boss very soon.
--Ruby cave--
Chests: 4 (44)
Flame fruit, Fury helm, Ruby key, Water whip
Monsters:
Armor goblin, Bat, Big bat, Big bee, Goblin, Poison beetle, Skeleton,
Red bat, Web spider
Boss:
Tarantula
-Walk up to the first door now you have the choice to go either left or right
if you take the left, skip 'Capsule monster: Blaze' and go to the next part.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capsule monster: Blaze
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Ruby cave--
Go right, blow up the darker looking wall, through the door, down the
stairway. Then you will see 4 switches, push them all four once, and you will
hear the lava flowing away. Blow up the dark part of the wall and use the
teleporter, walk towards the dog-like creature. This is Armordog and it is his
default name is Blaze. He gets his power from the fire element; hence most of
his attacks are fire elemental. If you use him, feed him at least until he
reaches level 3. By the way, it's possible to get your capsule monster to
level 4 already. How? Simple; fight lots of big bees, because they will drop
bee rocks. With those rocks you can feed your monsters to level 4, though it
takes quite a huge amount of rocks to do so.
--Ruby cave - continued--
-You're back in the second room. Cut the bushes to reveal a switch for the
left door. Go through and cut again to find a hidden stairway. Make the bridge
complete and walk over it, then go up and take the right stairs. Walk down on
the left side, select your arrows, hit the switch, go back take the left
stairs, go down the other and fight the skeleton, cut the middle vine and
collect the ruby key.
-Head down the right stairs again, walk down the ladder and pick up a block of
ice. Drop it at the lowest right corner while looking down. Pick up another
and drop it at the lowest right corner of the melted ice while facing down. Do
two more times, you should have made contact with both islands containing 2
more blocks of ice, lift one cube, stand at the low left corner and drop it,
while facing down. Pick up the last available block of ice and drop it at the
low left corner, while facing to the left. You can pick up the Fury-helm and
the Water whip. There should be a block of ice as well pick it up and take it
to the most left corner, drop it and walk over to the island. Pick up another
piece of ice and drop it in the left corner, the chest has some Flame fruit.
(Save this item for Zeppy) Pick up another block of ice and go to the most
right corner and face right while dropping it.
-Walk down the stairs, over the wooden bridge, cut some vines to find Healing
/ Save tiles. Make sure you are equipped with fire weapons as much as
possible. (You can also collect fire charms from the "casino" in Alunze
because the boss is weak against that element) Go through the door on the
left, walk up, open the locked door and walk to the ruby apple that is
displayed. A giant spider will fall down... actually it warps in; since when
can spiders warp? It will tell you that you fell into his trap. Time for a
real fight, so be on something like level 20.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Tarantula (He can drop Spido jewel)
---------------
HP: 2000
Weak: Fire, Insect
Strong: Thunder
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Calling companions (Web spider), Poison shower, Spider web,
Stronger, 'Paralyze'(90%)
He uses Poison showers to poison you, Spider web to slow you down, summons
small webspiders. Equip the Insect Crush to one of your allies to cause more
damage on the Tarantula. (Insect Crush is effective against insects and
spiders)
The battle itself: First let Tia cast Brave to protect your party against the
arachnid's attacks. Use the Fire dagger's IP to cause much damage and have Guy
use some of the fire charms, if available. Tia will do best when casting
"Spark" or "Strong" every round.
Using the Spellstruck IP can be handy too, since the arachnid has very high
amount of MGR, so you can make it more susceptible to you spells. There's only
a small chance that your capsule monster will survive this battle, but that's
not your biggest worry. It will usually take several rounds to beat him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-After you defeat this fiend, you will find out that the ruby apple was a
fake. In the room behind the boss, you'll find Jaffy the glass blower. He
tells you a short story about the ruby apple and after that it's time to go
back to Rochy to give him the (also fake) ruby apple.
--Clamento--
Rochy pays you an "awful lot of money" for the fake apple, and with the "Huge
amount of money" you will automatically go to Jaffy. After you give him that,
Jaffy will give you some jewelry which Maxim then gives to Tia to please her.
Since you have gotten Rochy's permission to cross the shrine to the north of
Clamento, you are able to go to the kingdom of Parcelyte.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. The King's treasure sword
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes the game spells Parcelyte as Percelyte, but I will call it
Parcelyte.
--Parcelyte--
When you come in Parcelyte the first time you will meet Lemmy and some
bullies, then Selan comes and she comforts Lemmy after sending those bullies
away. Buy some items, but think carefully; the Camu armor is not the best at
defensive power, but it increases ATP and STR plus it has great IP abilities.
Better buy a Franshiska, and a Rod for Selan who will join you soon. She can
use this to fight the Golem and Nuborg with ease, because the Rod is effective
to 'Hard' enemies and those enemies are weak against 'Hard' type which means
double damage.
--Parcelyte Castle--
Chests: 1 (45) Holy wings
When you enter the throne room and speak to the king he will ask you to go on
a mission for him. He wants you to go to the Treasure sword shrine to find the
Treasure sword. After some more talking it turns out to be that she only came
along because the king ordered her to do so and finally Selan joins your
party. Head up on the world map towards the shrine to the north of Parcelyte.
If you want to level up fast walk on the map along the sides of the castle.
Sometimes a bunch of red cores pop up. With an AGL of 200 it is unlikely you
will get the first turn and they usually run away, but if lucky one or 2 will
stay. Use magic on them and they will be defeated easily. They leave 2222 EXP.
each which is quite a lot.
--Treasure sword Shrine--
Chests: 8 (53)

Boss(es):
Pierre & Danielle
-Go through the left door first, through the next room as well and walk on the
right side through the wall. Pick up the vase and place it on the switch, the
spikes will lower so you can investigate the wall. Just place a bomb and it
will blow up, you can enter an empty room. Step on the weakened part of the
floor to go down one floor, go through the door and collect the round shield.
Push the first block to either right or left and push the other one down. You
might as well take the stairs as the other door leads to a dead end.
-Return to the entrance and take the right door. Take the stairs in the room
north of here. You will be in a puzzle room, the best way to collect all the
items is: Stand on the moving platform that is closest to the stairway,
collect the Undead ring, go back on the moving platform. Cherish this ring
very much since it has many useful abilities:
1. Shadow type weapons like the Gades Blade will work on undead creatures
2. Makes you invulnerable to Instant attacks
3. Makes all physical attacks Light elemental
4. Increases MGR which is nice
-Walk off and on the platform again, walk to the left to the next platform,
and walk up to another. Walk down and take the last one that is available,
collect the Cold rapier, and walk back on the platform. Go up again and take
the one that should be next to the stairs, switch to the next one, walk around
to the lower right corner and take that platform. Walk back to the one that is
the on the lower part, switch platforms again, step up and you should find
yourself on the platform with the red and green chest. Take the anger brace
and the Treasure key from the only Green Chest in the game, next to the chest
with the treasure sword that is of course.
-At the start again open the middle door. Go to the corridor up from here, but
be careful there are some monsters hiding behind the pillars. Go up, take the
stairs, and go down 2 rooms. Here you'll find another easy puzzle, just push
and pull the switches in order to get on the platform in the lower left
corner. Here you will find a door leading to a dead end, but there is a chest
with a Bat rock. Continue to the next room on the right side. Proceed on and
the room above here has a secret: If you walk to the right against the most
upper segment of the right wall a new area and a chest containing a Mind ring
will become visible, go up with the stairs here.
-Move up to find another small puzzle. Here you must place a bomb above the
left crate and then above the right crate, then walk to the edge in the middle
and keep walking up so you can walk over to the other side while the bombs
explode. Go up two rooms and some stairs and then head down 2 rooms to come to
another puzzle room.
-The colored blocks Puzzle or the Teleporter Puzzle.
If you are playing the Japanese version of the game you will have to solve a
teleporter puzzle, which was replaced by 3 block puzzles in the American /
European releases of the game. Since I think you will probably have the latter
version of the game I will give the solution of the three block puzzles first.

In the Japanese version, you don't have to do the block puzzles, but you have
to complete a teleporter puzzle, which is super simple if you know the
solution (True, all puzzles are simple if you know their solutions). There are
6 arrow tiles at the bottom and one at the top; all you have to do is step on
a triangle and walk up following the path towards the upper triangle using all
branches to the Left & Right.
To solve this one, start on the 2nd arrow tile from the left, walk up taking
all branches to the right, after that one branch to the left and head up to
the upper arrow tile. After you walk over it the door will automatically open.

Anyway, that was the last puzzle of this shrine. Proceed on to the Healing /
Save tiles. After another room, some stairs go north to the last door. Two
clowns will appear. Time for a double boss battle, talk to either one of the
clowns. The red clown is Danielle and the blue one is Pierre.

Round 1
------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Be on level 22 and you can easily defeat them the first time. Use the opposite
type of magic they throw at you against them, those clowns are also very fast
so most of the time you will have to wait, while they attack first. I suggest
you spare your IP for the 2 battles later on when you have to beat them both
at the same time with only two characters to battle each. After defeating the
first clown, it will regenerate and throw you one room back. (save and heal if
you like with the tiles) Go back and challenge the other clown. When he/she is
also defeated and regenerated, you'll be thrown back again, but this time
Selan figures out that you have to beat them both at the same time, Heal/save
for the last time.
Round 2
------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
I still know that Maxim & Tia fight Pierre and Guy & Selan fight Danielle.
It's time to play rough; Equip Maxim who will fight Pierre with the cold-
rapier and use its IP, and have the Tia cast droplet or let her use the IP of
the Catfish jewel. Equip Guy who will fight Danielle with the Fire dagger and
use its IP, and have Selan cast Spark / Flash or use the Camu rock's IP:
'Buster attack' to cause nice amounts of damage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-After you finished both clowns at the same time. They will be defeated once
and for all, opening the door to the next room. Head up to collect the
treasure sword from the chest. No, don't try to equip it because you can't, it
a sword for show not fighting.
--Parcelyte Castle--
Once you arrive here, go to the throne room and talk to the king. Give him
the treasure sword and a messenger will come telling that a single man
destroyed an entire town by the name of Gordovan!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Gordovan destroyed by whom?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Parcelyte Castle--
After Maxim and the others volunteer to go out and check if these rumors are
true. The king allows you to collect the treasure in the basement of the
castle, so don't forget to collect the Holy wings on your way out.
--Gordovan--
Once Maxim and co. arrive at Gordovan, they see that the entire village is
destroyed by something and that something went to the west tower of Gordovan.
There's nothing to be bought here, since everything is destroyed. There's an
inn but it's not really comfortable. You'll have to check on west side and
find the evil power that is responsible for this.
--Gordovan west Tower--
Chests: 8 (61)
Block shield, Eagle rock, Hook, Miracle, Muscle ring, Scimitar, Speed potion,
Wind key
Monsters:
Antares, Doben, Big mushr'm, Evil shell, Fighter Ork, Ghoul, Goblin mage,
Ork, Ork mage, Red lobster, Regal goblin, Zombie
Boss: Sinistral; Gades - Master of Destruction
-Go through the left door and take the left door as soon as the monster
presses the button. Go up the stairs, walk two chambers down, here you will
find another small puzzle. Hit the switch causing the red pillars to drop,
walk over them. On the left there is a single block against the wall, push it
one space to the right, below you will see four blocks forming a 'L' on its
side. Move the middle block one space down and walk back to the other block
you just moved. You should be standing against it, move 3 spaces down and the
switch will move to the lowest of the four squares. Move the block to your
left one square to the left. Walk over the wall you lowered and stop if you're
standing between the square of the wall and the switch (which makes the big
switch move). Turn with the shoulder button and use an arrow to hit the switch
again. You can just walk down, triggering the other switch in the lower right
corner to lower the platform outside.
-Once outside take the other entrance, go up one room and take the stairs. Now
you come in a room with a pot and two switches. (If you want to heal go down
one room) Put the pot on the right switch and follow the path of dark tiles to
the right door and go up the stairs. At the bottom you will see another door,
go down and pick up the hook that's lying in the chest there. (The first
dragon egg and the water jewel can be obtained)
-Go back one room and push the pillar above you to the right. Use the hook to
cross the gap. Walk a bit up use the hook to the left to get to the next door,
where you will find some stairs. Go through the left door from here and use a
bomb to blow up the crate while getting past the spikes. (if you get trapped
use the 'Reset' spell) Walk down here and you will find a save pad, go outside
and lower the ladder. Go back again, use the switch in the corner to lower the
spikes, go through the door on your right.
-Here you will find the elevator of this tower. First go to the first floor
and then walk up and seek a section in the wall that can be destroyed with a
bomb. Go through to find an eagle rock and back to the elevator. Take the
right route and you will see a stairway leading up. Go up and through the door
to find a muscle ring. Go to the second floor with the elevator. Head down and
pick up a speed potion, ascend to the third floor, go left here and you'll
come in a room with two pillars. Move the left pillar two places and walk to
the opposite side of it. Use the hook to get across, push the pillar below you
one square down and move the other to the right against the wall. Walk down to
the lower middle part and use the hook again to get across. Push the pillar up
onto the button and the door will open.
-Go through it and walk down, go outside, climb the ladder, walk into the
entrance. Here you will find a zombie who can regenerate it self every time
you defeat it. So you need to do something else to get rid of him. In the
original Japanese version you have to move five blocks so that they form a
cross.
In the American and European version of the game you have to hit whack the
switches in the right order. The order is:
1 5 6 2 7 3 4
After you did that the zombie will disappear, allowing you to collect the wind
key. Go back to the elevator by using the shortcut with the stairs. Go up
another floor and walk down to find a miracle. Now go up to the highest floor
and take the right path. You can open the door with the wind key now. Go
outside, up the ladder and prepare to be defeated! At least that is what will
happen anyway even if you defeat him (However if you defeat him in combat you
will receive the Gades blade). Read the Strategy if you want to "beat" Gades I
wrote completely down at Appendix C.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9.1 Gades... The Invincible?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Gordovan west Tower--
==============================================================================
Boss: Sinistral; Gades - Master of destruction
==============================================
HP: 7500
Weak: Light
Strong: Shadow
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Destructo-wave
He uses the Destructo-wave attack to defeat you, after a couple of hits you
probably lose, unless your levels are 40+ (I've did find out you can take him
down on level 28 and higher, with a little luck).
Read the strategy in appendix C for some tips and walkthrough to destroy this
fiend. If you do manage to defeat him, you will automatically "receive Gades'
sword". He will say something like "How irritating, now witness my true
power", and the game goes on as if you were defeated in the first place. Oh
well, you can't win 'em all.
==============================================================================
-After this Iris will appear and heal your entire alliance and leaves again.
You can nab the Scimitar and Block Shield from behind the door, after this go
back to Parcelyte Castle and report to the king.
--Parcelyte Castle--
When you get back in the throne room, you will hear a messenger approaching.
He asks if there is someone called "Guy". Maxim and the others then learn that
Hilda's situation is getting worse, so Guy leaves Maxim for now. After this,
the pillars leading to the exit of the tower will be lowered, so you can
travel on to Merix.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. The bridge to Bound Castle
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Merix--
People in this small village are talking about a great carpenter. He recently
left the village to repair the bridge to Bound Kingdom, which was probably
destroyed by monsters. Here you can buy new spells like a stronger version of
spark; Fireball. There aren't many weapons you can buy here, but a Gladius
could be handy for it IP attack is: Holy Energy and will do three times
regular damage on any enemy, plus this amount get doubled to a whopping 6(!)
times damage if you attack an enemy weak to light.
--Cave to Bound Kingdom--
Chests: 2 (63)
Hi-magic, Regain
Monsters:
Doben, Fighter Ork, Goblin mage, Lizard man, Ork, Ork mage
Boss: -
-This is the smallest cave I've seen. First talk to the carpenter who will
tell you that you have to take care of the monsters, before he can start
repairing the bridge. Go down the stairs and through two doors to collect
regain, a little bit to the right in the previous room you saw a weakened
wall. Bomb it and whack the switch with your sword, now use the hook to pull
yourself to the other side in the room with the water. Go down the stairs and
take the right door first to collect a Hi-magic, then continue through the
left door.
-Here you get into a conversation and you will automatically fall down twice,
walk up through the door and you come into a room with a crystal ball on a
pillar in the upper middle. The enemies here keep on regenerating until you
destroy their crystal ball with your sword. You have to get past quickly so
watch your enemy's movements closely. After that you can walk to the right and
walk several stairs, until you reach the other side of the bridge. Here you
will meet up with the carpenter, who will repair the bridge and will leave for
home. Before you go to Bound go back to Merix first.
--Merix--
'Chest': 1 (64) Dragon egg
The little daughter of the carpenter will give you a dragon egg, in return for
bringing her father back home. That should make three with the ones from
Alunze basement and Cave to Sundletan.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. The prince's ego
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Bound Kingdom--
Upon entering Bound Castle you will meet Dekar, and then another henchman of
the Sinistrals appears: Idura. He attacks Dekar with some monsters, but they
are no match for him. After Idura leaves (humiliated) the prince will come out
and fight the Red jelly that Dekar forgot to dispose of. This shows that the
prince is very conceited, because he thinks that the small jelly is "invading"
his kingdom. You will also find out that every time the prince goes on an
adventure the king will have Dekar follow him, to make sure nothing happens.
This is the reason why the prince is too overconfident about himself. He
thinks he's a great warrior, but in fact he's has a difficult time destroying
1 puny red jelly! Because of his overconfidence, he decides to go to the
northern labyrinth to defeat Idura on his own. (The fool) The king of course
will have Dekar follow him again.
There's a shop in the castle where you can buy Bronze-swords. Feed them to
your capsule monster if it hasn't reached level 4 by now, and equip some
bronze-swords as well. And if you still have the secret fruit feed it also to
Jelze once he is on level four, he will now be able transform into his M
(master) level. After talking to the king go to the Northern Labyrinth.
--North Labyrinth--
Chests: 5 (69)
Deadly sword* (cursed), Dragon egg, Life potion, Thunder ax, Thunder ring
Monsters:
Deadly sword*, Green clay, Lizard man, Sand gorem, Shadow fly, Skeleton,
Torrent, Winger, Zombie
Bosses:
4x Mummy, 3x Troll
* = Deadly Sword is called "Lethal Sword" in the English PAL version
-From the start take the right door, then cut some bushes and walk through the
top left part of the wall to find a chest containing Thunder ring. Continue on
down the stairs. Cut the top left bush here to find the opening switch for the
door. In the next room use your hook to get to the other side of the gap and
walk through the door here. Don't walk over the spikes, instead use your hook
to bring the spikes up and another set of spikes down.
-Back at the start and take the middle door, go down some stairs and head
through the door. Go to the left to the next room (over the spikes you just
lowered) use the switch to form a bridge. Go up two rooms to find a deadly
sword, don't equip it because it's cursed. (If you want to use it go back to
the "priest" in Bound, then equip it and undo the curse, giving you a strong
and uncursed sword) You can take the right route again to lower the lower set
of pins and walk on over the bridge you created. A little farther beyond that
you will find a room with a lone zombie, bomb the top wall to receive thunder
ax from the chest.
-All that's left is the left door at the start. Walk through the next two
rooms until you come to a puzzle, if you want to go down the moving stairs
step on it from the left side the stair will move one place down. Walk a space
to the left then down and then to the right on the stairs. Repeat this process
until stairway is trapped in the lower middle. Walk on it from above to
descend to the next floor. Go down a room and move the pillar to the right,
use the hook to get to the upper part with the pot. Pick it up and place it on
the button. Move the pillar back and proceed to the stairs and the next floor.
-Use the only door that's available from here, and you will be in a room with
moveable platforms. Walk first to the most upper platform and move it to the
right. Go through the door and place four pillars on the dark square of tiles
to make a platform rise up. This will allow you to reach the dragon egg. Go
back to the last room and move the lowest platform 1 space to the right, then
move the middle-right platform down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capsule monster: Flash
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--North labyrinth--
From the puzzle with the moveable platforms you can take the lower right door
to reach a mini (one-way) labyrinth with capsule monster Flash at the end.
He's not a fighter until he reaches the M class. So in the beginning he will
be quite useless, but in the end he might be one of the most valuable
monsters, because he can heal your entire party on the higher classes.
--North labyrinth - continued--
-Move the middle platform to the right, and use the middle platform of the
lowest row to reach the top left door. Here you will find another puzzle room
can be quite tricky, but if you place the bombs like this in the right order,
all will go swell:
Place bomb here in this order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
_ _ _
|1|_|4|
|_|2|3|
|_|_|5|
-WARNING, This puzzle is bugged. By igniting bombs 2, 3, 4 and 5 in this order
at the same time my game always seems to crash; the platform keeps rising
through the ceiling and you won't be able to move (unfortunately there is only
one way to undo the freeze. Yes, it's reset time) The best way to prevent this
is to wait for each bomb to explode and then placing the next.
-Go over the bridge and collect the life potion and then descend the stairs.
Go to save point and move the pillar in the next room onto the right button so
the door will open. Now enter the final room of this dungeon and meet up with
Idura. You are not going to fight him, but instead he will send four mummies
at you and then three trolls. One more thing, if you didn't speak to the king
in Bound Kingdom Idura won't be there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bosses: Mummy (4x) & Troll (3x)

You can deal most damage against these creatures with fire, so use your
Fireball magic on all of them twice (Tia and Selan) then Maxim will do best
with an attack of the sword. They were so weak that after two or three
Fireballs all four are destroyed.
Trolls:
------- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It's just the exact same idea here (note that they are statistically even
weaker than the regular trolls from later on :) ). Use Fireball a few times
and it's exit Trolls. Nuff' said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-After you disposed of all these amateurs, Dekar will appear and Idura
cowardly flees. That's all, Dekar the prince and his advisor then go back to
Bound Castle.
--Bound Kingdom--
Head back to Bound Castle you might want to unequip Tia, because this was her
last fight of the game. But even if you don't unequip her, you can still buy
her items when you reach the forfeit isle. Talk to the king and a moment later
Guy will make his return.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Evil threats
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Bound kingdom - continued--
You will hear from the king that Gades has left a message. It was more like a
threat actually, he said that he would sink Seim island; the island on which
Parcelyte is located. After that Dekar and Guy will join you in your quest,
Tia and Selan stay behind to comfort the civilians/villagers of Parcelyte.
Make sure you equip Dekar with some AGL increasing stuff like speedy ring and
jewels, because with him being so slow you have quite a disadvantage at some
points. Then again, his supreme strength makes him well suited for the battle
against Gades.
--Ancient tower--
Chests: 7 (76)
Cloud key, Fayza shield, Magic bikini, Miracle, Muscle ring, Protect ring,

Monsters:
Bruse, Dark fly, Deadly armor, Earth viper, Evil shell, King frog,

Boss:
Sinistral; Gades - Master of destruction
-At the start push the pillar to the right, when it's standing on the middle
part of the carpet push it up, then to the left to reveal a hidden door in the
wall. Go through the next two rooms and you will notice that the door won't
budge here, defeat the enemies in this room to open it. After that you will
find 4 pillars and a pumpkin head. You must trap the pumpkin head between the
four pillars and get it stuck so he has to stand on the switch, meaning that
he will open the door for you. Since he always moves in the opposite
direction, it shouldn't be too hard to get him trapped. In the next room you
must move a pillar down against the wall then four squares to the right and
then 7 spaces down. Stand on the other side of the square with spikes and keep
an empty square between you and the spikes. You can use your hook to get in
the square and making it easy to reach the stairway.
-On the next floor walk down until you reach outside and enter the other
entrance. You don't have to lower the spikes and bomb the wall because they
lead to a dead end, instead blow up the weakened part of the wall between the
two background pillars. Now don't be fooled by the fake door, but keep on
walking up against the wall to find the real one. Go up the stairs, up another
room, walk to the right and look at the teleporters. Keep in mind that you
will be teleported to the teleporter in the direction in which you're looking
at. Step on the teleporter from the right side to go to the left. Proceed on,
you can collect three chests with protect ring, Pumkin jewel and muscle ring.
-Head to the exit and enter the doorway directly above you. Walk up two rooms
to find four blocks. Move them all one space towards the block with a green
dot in the middle. This block will become a switch, so hit it with the hook to
open the door. Go through, press the switch there, go to the entrance and go
back to the teleporters. Step on the middle teleporter from the left
side to go to the right, go up the stairs and go through the right door to
find a Fayza shield. Then head through the left door in the room with the
stairs and hit the other switch. This will lower the red pillars allowing you
to exit on this floor. Go through the left door first to lower the ladder
outside.
-Go on to the outside of this floor level and take the other entrance. Go
through the left door after you disposed of all enemies in here. Proceed on
one room to collect the cloud key, bomb the weakened part of the wall and pick
up a miracle. Go outside enter the entrance down the left ladder. Here you
must move the three right pillars one space up and the left pillar down one
space to open the door.
-Continue up to 5F and hit the statue on the red carpet three times and the
statue on the blue 5 times. Now step on the circle in the middle, this will
two healing pads will appear and the door will be opened. Go down here to find
a save tile and go outside to the other entrance to your right. Go upstairs,
walk up a room to come to the monster races, the details are explained in the
previous room on the hint table on the wall. It can be a little confusing but
the races are not so hard as they look. It's best to use the skeleton (the
monster on the right), he's normally the first one to be on the circular final
tile. If you win you will be teleported to a door. Go through and hit the
switch to lower a platform outside.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12.1 Defeat the Sinistral!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Ancient tower - continued--
Once outside go over the lowered platform. Open the door with the key and go
up the stairs. Prepare for a battle. Although Gades is an awful lot easier
this time you MUST defeat him this time. So if you're not sure you can take
him on don't hesitate to go back to the save tile.
==============================================================================
Boss: Sinistral; Gades - Master of Destruction
==============================================
HP: 3000
Weak: Light
Strong: Shadow
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Destructo-wave, devastation
He uses his Destructo-wave again, but since Dekar and Guy have high DFP it
won't do as much damage as last time. I used Blaze on level four and he didn't
even run before the battle ended! His attacks take away some nice amounts of
HP. As for Dekar, Guy and Maxim; have Maxim cast trick and brave once, and use
your strongest IPs to deal with Gades. The thunder Ax's IP is very effective
on him. Use "strong" to heal your party and all will go well.
It's possible to outrun him as well; use the Spido jewel's IP to slow him
down (40% for single use), and cast fake with Maxim on all three characters.
Even with Gades' high base AGL of 400 it is possible to bridge the speed gap.
==============================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12.2 Last revenge
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Ancient tower - again--
After losing the battle Gades is unwilling to admit his defeat and as he
flees from the tower he triggers some sort of mechanism, which will cause
destruction to Seim Island (The island on which Parcelyte is located). It is
up to Maxim to save Parcelyte. After meeting up and talking to Selan and Tia
who have followed the trio to this place, they will be transported back to
Parcelyte.
-Maxim is on his own at this point. Here you will see three stairs, go down
the lower right one to find another statue. Place a bomb at his feet to blow
it up. There's not much more to do here except for save tile. So head back and
take the upper middle stairs. Here you will find one healing tile and in the
room below a stairway, it leads to a statue on a blue carpet. Hit it with an
arrow to destroy it, go through the door to collect the magic bikini. (Nooo,
Maxim can't wear that)
-Head back to the room with the three stairs and the take the lower left
stairs. In order to make the stairs appear here just walk over all the tiles
in both rooms to make them all grey, a stairway will automatically appear like
magic. After some more rooms, ladders and stairs you will come in the last
room with lots of lowered pillars. Step on the gray tile and sit back, relax
and read the dialogues if you want. You have saved Parcelyte from Gades, but
you also sealed your own fate. Luckily Iris just drops by and warps you back
to Parcelyte. Selan admits she has feelings for Maxim, and Tia will leave the
scene for good after small conversation with Dekar.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12.3 All's well that ends well?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Parcelyte--
There is not much to be done here since Gades is defeated it seems to be
over. Just watch the marriage. Guy does seem to have some problems with his
girlfriend, and when monsters are spotted in the basement of Alunze they all 4
decide to go there instead of having a party. After seeing the four seasons
and the birth of their son who is named Jeros the game continues.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Idura is back
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Parcelyte--
After a year, Idura will manage to kidnap Jeros and challenges them to come
to the Northern lighthouse. Maxim and Selan go after him and set out to the
lighthouse. (Don't forget to equip Selan)
--North Lighthouse-- (why would they call it lighthouse? There's no light)
Chests: 7 (83)
Bee rock, Big shield, Cancer rock, Dragon egg, Fire ring, Light key,
Mystery ring
Monsters:
Armor horse, Cancer, Drill shell, Goblin mage, Ork mage, Red lobster,
Snatcher
Boss: Idura
-Move up one room from the start and place the blocks so they will form an
arrow pointing to the right. Since I got some e-mails about people who are
unable to form a good arrow here are the examples for left and right:
x x
x __ x
x x x x x |OR| x x x x x
x ¯¯ x
x x
The door will open and you will come across a puzzle which can be a jinx, but
once you know the secret it's very easy. (It took me quite a lot of hours to
figure it out the first time, because you have to do something that you
wouldn't expect to do) Hint: Box the door........ Still don't know the answer?
Ok, here goes: The trick is to make the door visible by using both boxes. Then
use the third box to block the walls from closing, while you move two boxes to
lower the spikes and place a box on the switch at the same time. The door will
now open and behind it you will find a mystery ring, a dragon egg and big
shield.
-Go through the left door in the room with those three boxes. Go up the stairs
and go down one room to find a memory game, which is an easy puzzle:
1 = Musical note 5 = tile with lowered spikes
2 = white tile with brown mark 6 = gray tile with white edge
3 = pole 7 = brown tile with white mark
4 = brown tile 8 = gray tile with white edge and brown cross
1 2 3 4
5 4 6 7
8 6 1 5
8 7 3 2
If you completed this puzzle the monsters in this room disappear, and you can
go up the stairs to the left. Walk down here to press the button to raise two
pillars for later on. Go back and take the door that is located below the
memory game. Go outside to the other doorway and go up the stairs again. Get
outside, climb the ladder, go through the entrance and open the chest with a
Fire ring. Go back to the room where you pressed the button, now use the hook
to get to the other side, go through the door you see here to your right and
bomb the weakened wall between the two "background" pillars. Hit the switch to
complete the ladder outside.
-When you're outside again use the ladder and enter the tower again. Press the
switch and watch carefully where the two dark tiles are hiding. They are
hiding beneath: The most left white tile and the other is two squares to the
right of the first. Place on these squares a vase to lower the pins. The blue
chest can now be opened which is containing the light key, step on the
teleporter to your left. Head back to the room where you made the arrow with
the aid of blocks on the floor.
-At the start form an arrow that points to the left, proceed to the next
rooms, and ascend four stairways up. Here are two doors in the first room of
floor 4F. One leads to the next stairs, the other leads to a room with HP, MP
and Save tiles. Move one room down and you will see a pillar to your right.
Push it to the left, bomb the floor on the place where the pillar stood (this
will create a hole), push the pillar through the gap and fall down as well.
Put the pillar on the top button and walk on the lower one to lower the spikes
and to raise the two pillars. You can collect the Bee rock. Push the pillar
against the edge and use the hook to get to the other side and use it again on
the pillar to fall down into a secret room. Here you will find the cancer
rock.
-Use the teleporter to get back up one floor, use the same stairs as you did
before you got to the pillar part and walk down two rooms this time. You will
find two healing tiles and a save tile in here. Go outside and enter the left
entrance, go up two rooms and place only three blocks on the switches. Move
the fourth one away and stand on the last switch yourself so you can walk the
stairs.
-You will come to the Idura's room. Idura thinks he's safe as long as he holds
Jeros hostage. And he is right; as long as he has Jeros they can't fight him,
but then Iris appears again picks up the baby and brings it to safety meaning
you can fight Idura now.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Idura
-----------
HP: 1500
Weak: Ice
Strong: Thunder
Protection: Silence, Instant Death, Paralysis and Confusion
Specials: Calls companions (Groupie), Idura thunder, Plasma blaster
Selan can use the Water jewel since its IP will be more effective on Idura.
Have Maxim do some sword attacks or IPs to defeat him. He only has 1500 HP so
it shouldn't take too long. The groupies he summons are very weak so don't
bother fighting them; first after Idura is gone you can take care of them as a
small bonus. Also observe that this boss doesn't have protection against the
sleep status, so cast Drowsy if you like.
Note 1: Idura looses a turn when he tries to cast Idura Thunder, when all his
MP is depleted or drained. Check Appendix F for more information.
Note 2: Groupie can drop Magic Fruit this can be handy for raising capsule
monsters.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Northern Lighthouse--
After the battle, go back to Bound and enter the small shrine right of the
Ancient tower. Use the teleporter here to get across the water to get to the
harbor town Aleyn
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13.1 Reunion with Guy and Dekar
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Shrine to Aleyn--
Here you will meet up with Guy and Dekar. After catching up on some things
they will both join your party. After this is done continue on to the harbor
of Aleyn.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. Jyad the ship builder
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Harbor town Aleyn--
Talk to various people here to find out some valuable information about Jyad.
The people are talking about him going to the Phantom Mountain, and without
Jyad they can't continue their quest (Because they needed a boat to get to the
next continent). Better check the mountain to see what happened to him. I
usually buy all the Magic spells and some new equipment here.
--Phantom mountain--
Chests: 3 (86)
Fire arrow, Tree key, Water ring
Monsters:
Armor bee, Dark fly, La Fleshia, Lizard man, Mad gorem, Skull lizard, Stinger
Boss: Lion (2x)
-First thing you need to do is walk up and cut the grass patch. Walk over it,
and use an Bomb. The three patches will be destroyed at the same time, opening
the door for you. Go through, climb the stairs, hit the switch, go back and
take the right door, climb up the stairs and a ladder. Walk into the next room
and go outside, enter the next entrance and climb the stairs. First blow up
the darker looking wall, go through and then outside.
-To your left you will see a blue chest with the tree key. You will come to a
puzzle involving walking on a small bush to make it grow. So go back to the
room where you had to blow up the wall. When all the bushes are big the door
will open. This is a little hard to explain, but start in the lower left
corner; with a small bush above and to the right of you. Follow this path: U =
Up, D = Down, L = Left, R = Right; the path itself is: UUURDRURDDLDL. There
will be two more patches to walk on, but that can't go wrong unless you do
something incredibly stupid. The door will be opened and you can collect the
fire arrow.
-Continue on to the left, go outside and go down two "ladders", enter the
mountain again, then climb some stairs. To your right you will see a stairway
leading down, if you use it you will come in a room full of monsters and a
chest with in the top left corner with a water ring. Cut the vines to find a
secret route leading towards a stairway. Now you come to another puzzle room,
walk up the right ladder, and use your fire arrows to get rid of most of
the grass patches. Move the lowest block to the left, burn some more bushes,
move the most left block on the platform against the wall. Move the one that
was next to it to the right. Move the top right block on the switch. A ladder
will appear, climb it and move the two blocks both up by two squares.
-Walk to the left to find a puzzle; you can only walk on each ground tile
once. If you walk two times on the same square you will fall down and must
start all over again. At the start go one space up and walk to the right until
you can't get further.
From here on:
U = Up D = Down
L = Left R = Right
(R)(L)(D)(U) = turn in this direction using the two top shoulder buttons
URRRRR, Pick up the pot
UULLDLLLLDLLUUUURU(R), Put down the pot
(L), Pick up other pot
U, Put the first pot on switch
R(D), Pick up pot
(U), Put second pot on second button
DDDDRRRURUUU
If done correctly you can now walk safely towards the door. Bomb the dark
wall in the next room, walk down the ladder behind it, climb the other ladder
and use the hook to get through the next section from island to island. Walk
through the door, go upstairs and up one room.
-Here you must keep on walking up against the edge until the lizard man stands
on the switch allowing you to get across the pit with the hook. Go outside,
walk over the bridge, bomb the door and walk inside. Get the mad gorem to
follow you onto the square in the middle so you will fall down. Walk down the
stairs, talk to Jyad who will ask you to get rid of the 2 monsters up ahead
then go south and save your game if you like to. Get ready for another boss
battle against two identical Lions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Lion (2x)
----------
HP: 1000 each
Weak: Ice
Strong: Water
Protection: -
Specials: Bite, Scratch
The best way to deal with them is by casting trick and brave so they won't be
able to cause too much damage, use IP that are either multi-attacks (Octo-
strike) or, Strong single attacks preferable 'Ice' based that can cause a lot
of damage. Concentrate your attacks on one lion until he's defeated and take
care of the other. You may have to heal yourself (don't be stingy on your MP,
so cast Stronger instead of Strong) to survive. Also you can try Instant
Attacks, since the lions don't have any protection against it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Phantom Tree Mountain--
Walk outside and use the hook to get to the Phantom tree. Jyad will tell you
that the wood of this tree is great for shipbuilding. You'll be warped back to
the harbor, now talk to Jyad again. After two nights in the local inn, the
ship will be ready down at the pier. You can visit two places; I suggest you
visit them at least once so you can warp to that place. It's a lot easier than
having to wait 10 minutes for the boat to arrive at the right place. The two
places you can choose between are Gruberik and Narcysus.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub-quest: The Ancient Cave
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Gruberik--
Here you will hear people talking about a dungeon that consists of 99 floors!
At the local pub you can go down two floors, and you will find an empty
display. The woman here is talking about the 10 legendary Iris treasures;
these can be found in the ancient cave. Every time you exit the cave with one
of those Iris treasures you can give them to her, if you collect all ten she
will say that you are an excellent treasure seeker. (I haven't noted anything
else)
--Ancient Cave--
Chests: 3 on the main floor (89)
Brill Helm, Dragon ring, Light jewel
Monsters: - On the main floor
Boss: Master (Ancient Jelly)
Dekar is still in your party in story mode, but he will leave very soon so
make up your mind if you want to get in the cave with Dekar in your party. All
the possible combinations are:
Maxim, Selan, Guy, Dekar
Maxim, Selan, Guy
Maxim, Selan, Guy, Lexis
Maxim, Selan, Guy, Arty
Under Appendix D, you can find more specific details about the biggest dungeon
in this game.
The current party with Dekar has a good set up to beat the Ancient Cave or
else go for the final combination with Artea in it. So think carefully, if
you're not willing to spend at least 50 hours in the cave, don't bother. Look
at the end of the walkthrough to find the details of the cave, and how to
defeat the Ancient jelly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. A mysterious Melody
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Narcysus--
Once you arrive here you can try to walk up the stairway on the right side,
but suddenly you will hear a mysterious melody. For some reason all young and
unmarried women will leave the village, they seem to be in a trance and are
heading to the tower of sacrifice up to the north. Guy and Dekar want to go
first, but finally they agree to go together. There's not much to buy here so
let's go to the tower.
--Tower of Sacrifice--
Chests: 2 (91)
Ice ring, Narcysus key
Monsters:
Cancer, Dragonian, Drill shell, Evil fish, Ochi warrior, Pug, Specter
Boss: Idura
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Note 1: With the aid of charm fruit that the evil fish randomly drops you
can evolve Blaze from level 3 to the M level.
Note 2: The specters in this tower are the first enemies you will encounter
that have instant death spells. However you already have collected
three items that can block instant death spells:
1. Holy Wings - Parcelyte Castle
2. Jute Helmet - Tanbel East Tower; Clock puzzle
3. Undead Ring - Treasure Sword Shrine
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-Head up to the second room and look at the black thing with eyes. It seems to
blow some sort of wind that you cannot pass. So walk around it and go up the
stairs to the next room. Walk down, hit the switch, and use the hook to get
over the pit. Active the two switches in the next room, notice the weakened
wall to your right. You will have to walk back because of those blowers. Go
over the pit again and walk down through the lower wall, place a bomb one
space to the right of the right pillar 'inside' the wall. You can walk through
it and reach the door in the next room.
-Exit and enter the tower again, go up the stairs and bomb the wall above you.
Go down two stairs and collect the Narcysus key. You will also see three
pillars here, break those using bombs and go back up the stairs. Take the
lower placed stairway to find the ice ring, go back down the stairs and up the
stairs you came from. Walk outside and enter at the left. Use the Narcysus key
to get to the next room. Move the block to the left and use it to get past the
lower of the two blowers, hit the lever and step on the other button. Push the
other block to the right past the button and then up. Now you can walk past
the other blower towards the door.
-Go upstairs in the next room; here you will see two arrow-like shapes. Bomb
them like this to open the door. Bomb in this logical order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and
6. For the people who have a difficult time doing this in mirror mode; I
mirrored the drawing already.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capsule monster: Gusto
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Tower of sacrifice--
Walk down the door in the middle of this room to find Gusto. His element is
wind, which explains why he is so incredibly fast. Use the earth fruit on him
when he is on level 4 to reach the M level. One of his specialties is that
Gusto is sometimes able to completely cancel an attack out no matter how
strong it is.
--Tower of sacrifice - continued--
After you bombed both arrows it's time to go down the right path and outside
to reach another switch which completes the ladder on the other side. Go back
to the "arrows" and take the left path and up the ladder to finally come to a
save tile. In the next room you must walk a strange path to place all four
blocks on the buttons. Here goes: Go completely to the right, walk up (One
block on the switch), walk to the left until you reach the middle path
(Between column 2 and 3), walk down. Head to the left and head up again then
walk down on the left side of the columns. If done correctly all the switches
are pressed.
-Continue on via the left wall towards the exit. Ascend the final stairs to
meet the women of Narcysus. They are imprisoned by Idura, and a few moments
later you will be imprisoned too. But after some more talking, Dekar will be
able to break through Idura's prison. (by using his head, literally of course)
Time for round 2: Maxim and Co. versus Idura
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Idura
-----------
HP: 2500
Weak: Ice
Strong: Thunder
Protection: Silence, Instant Death, Paralysis and Confusion
Specials: Calling Companions(Follower*), Idura thunder, Plasma blaster
* = Follower is called "Henohman" (with typo) in the English PAL version
If you have collected two Gades blades and equipped both on Guy and Dekar, it
will be over in the first round. (For Idura that is) Just have Selan cast
trick, and Maxim will do with a normal attack. Then it's time for 2x Octo-
strike = 16 hits. After casting trick it will be very VERY unlikely he will be
a challenge to you, which is if he isn't defeated already. If you don't have
those blades use any physical attack with the swords, or use IP (Ice) attacks
and Ice spells to defeat him also take note that this boss doesn't have
protection against the sleep status, so cast Drowsy if you like.
Note: Idura looses a turn when he tries to cast Idura Thunder, when all his
MP is depleted or drained. Check Appendix F for more information.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-The defeated Idura will flee again, and the women are freed. They will go
back to Narcysus and you can go back as well.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. Idura finally defeated
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Narcysus--
After this, it's time to head back to Narcysus. Here you will hear from
people that Idura escaped to the shrine in Caron / Karlloon.
--Karlloon--
Since you are here you might as well buy some new spells and equipment if you
haven't gotten enough blue chest items from the AC. The unique 2-attack-in-1-
turn Multi Sword can be handy even though it is weaker than the usual weapons.
In any case don't buy a weapon for Dekar since he'll get his own Dekar Blade
from the next dungeon. then go to the shrine that's located to the north.
--Karlloon north shrine--
Chests: 3 (94)
Dekar blade, Fury ring, Lion fang
Monsters:
Ammonite, Dark skull, Dragonian, Drill shell, Hound, Jurahan, Lion, Medusa,
Troll
Boss: Idura
-From the start go up one room, and destroy the pillar that is lying on the
ground with a bomb in order to make a secret switch appear. Move the pillar on
the switch, and the door will be opened. You can proceed to the next floor,
and when you come to the room with the lever on the other side of a gap you
could take the upper route first. Here you must hit the red and blue switches
to raise a pole on the other side. Use the hook on it to collect the Dekar
Blade on the other side.
-Go back to the previous room and hit the lever, get across the pit using the
hook again. A couple of rooms further on you will find a room with two
candlesticks. Hit the one that burns to extinguish the flame, the other
candlestick will start burning, and the other door will opened. Maxim can
continue on up the stairs and then up one room. Push the moveable block one
space up and collect the Lion fang. Head one room up to the teleporter and use
it, then go up again. Here you will come to another block moving puzzle.
-The objective is simple: reach the teleporter. It goes a bit like this: Walk
up, to the left, move the block to you left, go up one square and move the
block to your left. Go up, push the block above you one space up, walk two to
right, up, right, push the block to your right to the right, then move the
block below you, and finally move the block to your left. You can get to the
teleporter, use it and look at the upper wall which has two cracks. Blast them
both to find a path to a lever, lower the spikes behind the left crack with
it. You can get to the usual healing and save tiles. Teleport again and go up
one room to find the boss of this temple.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Idura
-----------
HP: 3500
Weak: Ice
Strong: Thunder
Protection: Silence, Instant Death, Paralysis and Confusion
Specials: "confusion", Calls for Companions (Groupie), Idura thunder,
Plasma blaster
He's almost the same as the previous round; the only difference is that he
can use a nameless attack that can confuse you. In combat use Trick and then
2x octo-strike and he's easily defeated. If you don't have 2 Gades blades, use
some weapon/item IP's that cause more than normal damage (like Dive). He's not
that tough, because you've already beaten him twice. I think you should be
able to take him out without healing. And as the usual don't mind the
assistance he summons (If the battle takes that long).
Note: Idura looses a turn when he tries to cast Idura Thunder, when all his
MP is depleted or drained. Check Appendix F for more information.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16.1 The demise of the almighty Dekar
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Karlloon north shrine - continued--
After his final defeat Maxim will find that he held Iris imprisoned. They
then try to use the escape spell, but it seems to be blocked by some force
field. They have got find the source and destroy the barrier.
-Go three rooms down. Here you must place the two pillars on the buttons to
heighten a third one. You can use your hook on to go down one room. The way to
go from here is down the stairs twice. Go to the lower part of this room to
collect the Fury ring. The wall to the north has three pillars showing cracks,
use bombs on each one to lower the wall section, go up with the stairs, up one
room and down the stairs.
-Unequip Dekar here, because in the next room he will leave your party. Beware
that the Dekar Blade is worth 7500 Gold so unequip that too!!! Head up and you
will come to the room where the barrier is. Dekar will volunteer to crush the
barrier. Iris walks with him and sees how he destroys it, and Idura's ghost
form will appear. The shrine is going to self-destruct so Iris decides to use
the Escape spell, while Dekar takes on Idura's ghost and his monsters. "Till
the end of the world" Dekar would follow him. Maxim and the others are back in
Karlloon again, but Dekar won't be around anymore. Iris will go to pray for
Dekar, and leaves you again. Though you are disappointed, you can't let this
obstruct you from continuing your quest, so go to the small shrine to the east
to find a harbor town called Treadool.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
17. Boat for sale
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Treadool--
Talk to one of the guys with blue hair and follow him to the boat that is for
sale. That boat turns out to be owned by the genius called Dr. Lexis Shaia.
You have to find him to buy that boat, but he doesn't live in Treadool. He
lives in a small lab to the north east of Treadool.
--Shaia lab--
Go through the door, right door, left door, and then cut the vines to find
the real entrance to his lab. Talk to him to get a demonstration of his latest
invention: The engine. It's not perfected yet, but when he hears that Jyad is
building ships made of the phantom tree he wants to use his engine in that
boat, because the wood of the tree is the only wood that's strong enough to
hold the engine. So get out of his lab and 'warp' to Aleyn to ask Jyad to make
a boat for you.
--Aleyn--
Talk to Jyad in his house and he will start building the boat, he also asks
you to go to Treadool and wait for him a couple of days.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18. The Priphea flower
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Treadool--
When Maxim enters Treadool again he will see a girl at the entrance of town
who sells flowers. Talk to her and she will faint. Upon recovering, Leefa
talks about a flower that is located on the Flower Mountain. After Maxim and
the others hear about it they decide to get the flower for her.
--Flower mountain--
Chests: 8 (102)
Burn sword, Dragon egg, Flower key, Flying ax, Hammer, Life potion,
Power ring, Snake rock
Monsters:
Crow kelp, Earth viper, Gnome, Lunar bear, Necromancer, Tengu
Boss:
Rogue flower
-Bomb the first entrance so you can get inside the mountain. In the second
room you will receive the hammer. (Still remember the two items in the North
West cave of Alunze kingdom by the way...) Use it in the next rooms to
pulverize the small rocks. Go outside, climb the ladder, and enter the next
entrance. Use the hammer to move the pillar onto the switch, which would
normally be out of reach. Continue on by going up the stairs and outside, fall
down the first edge then walk to the left and fall down again.
-Go to the entrance and walk up one room, cut the vine covering the secret
entrance to the maze puzzle. Walk to the left from here to get to a chest with
a life potion. You can't reach the stairs from here, but you can destroy the
dark wall with the hammer by standing on the square with no pinholes below the
wall section itself. Since you are stuck here, walk back and go to the left
and use the door. Once you get to the maze again using the other entrance it
will be different allowing you to collect the Snake rock behind the entrance
you opened with the hammer. Head back and find the way to the upper left
corner and go up two stairways. Go down one room and use the healing pad then
go down using one of the weakened sections of the floor (Cut the bushes to
reveal them). To your right you will see a chest containing the Burn sword,
then go down towards the entrance and find the flower key outside to your
left.
-Fall down the first edge again, walk to the right and fall down again and go
inside the first entrance. Repeat the things you did in here before to reach
the stairs. Go up again, only this time destroy the rock with the hammer. Move
the right block to the right and go up through the normal door, here you will
find another puzzle maze. Here's how you can solve this one: Step on the left
button and go ULLUUUURRRRRR to get to the teleporter. Step on the middle
button and go; ULULLUURRRRRRUULLL. Now step on the right teleporter and walk
UUULLLL. The spikes to your left should be gone now making it able for you to
destroy the dark wall so you can collect a flying ax, dragon egg and power
ring.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capsule monster: Sully
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Flower mountain--
Go through the door between the 2nd and 3rd row of spikes to eventually come
to the next capsule monster. His default name is Sully. He's the strongest and
the slowest of the capsule monsters and will never run away. His special
(stone) attacks have an effect on any enemy, but normally he doesn't get the
chance to use them because of his low AGL.
--Flower mountain - continued--
-Go back to the room with the big door and go through it using the key. Go
through the next entrance and walk 5 or so rooms until you come to the HP
Healing and Save pads, go outside to meet the boss of this dungeon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Rogue flower
------------------
HP: 3000
Weak: Fire
Strong: Water
Protection: Instant Death
Specials: Sneeze spreader, Thorn
When you equip weapons like the Spark staff, Sizzle sword (both from blue
chest of the Ancient cave) or Burn sword and he will be defeated before you
know it. Just attack using fire spells and the IP of any fire weapons/items.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-After its defeat, you will find the flower the girl in Treadool was talking
about. Pick the pretty flower up and Escape / Warp / Walk back to Treadool.
--Treadool--
Go to the home of the girl and talk to her, you will automatically give her
the flower for nothing and name it Priphea. Walk outside to the harbor on the
down right end of Treadool to find Lexis. He tells and shows Excerion (your
ship). After talking, Lexis will join you and you are now able to use the boat
on the map. You can now go to four places; Dankirk, Auralio, Forfeit Island
and Dankirk north cave. You can go to the casino on Forfeit Island, but if you
want to continue your quest go to Dankirk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus - The 'Markao' Casino on Forfeit Island
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Forfeit Island--
There is nothing special to do other than buying special items at the casino
and the small shop where they sell EVERY single item you had in your
inventory. The best expenses in the casino are the dragon sword for 500,000
coins that is 5 million gold pieces! You can also buy sonar for 20,000 coins
or 200,000 gold pieces. One big mistake is to save up all your money for the
"bunny" items, their IP attacks are not that bad, but they are too very weak
for the huge effort needed to get the money. Once you get the VIP-card from
the prince of Auralio (Talk to the prince more than once) you can get into the
VIP-room of the casino. Here you will find a slot machine that eats 100 coins
a turn, and a game called stud poker.
Flower slot machine
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost: 10, 20, 30 coins for 1, 3, 5 lines respectively
Biggest win: ?
I don't really know what to say about this game, for I can't find any logic
in it. I once got triple 7, I heard the same tune as the one for solving the
world's most difficult trick, the BGM changed, the flower with "BIG" on it
highlighted, and I got thirty on the "JAC" counter. (quite a carnival, but no
coins won) I continued on and the tune changed again, what's going on here....
Is this a jukebox or something.
-A description from Rubyheart:
"About the Flower Slot, when you have the "special music", you enter a bonus
mode where you can get coin more easily (but there is only one line though...)
You access it when you get three bar or three seven."
-A description by DragonKnight Zero:
"The Flower Slot machine stocks a maximum of 50 credits. Any extras after a
win go straight to your coin total.
Three in a row of anything other than 7, BAR, or cherries give 8 credits. One
cherry in the left slot is worth 2 credits; two in left and middle in a row
are worth 4. Triple 7s or BARs give 15 credits and activate bonus modes. There
are two different bonus modes; I'll explain as best I can.
Bonus mode 1 is activated by triple 7s. Winning combinations occur very
frequently while this mode is active. The JAC counter starts at 30 and
decrease by one for each winning spin. When it hits zero, this bonus mode
ends. Bonus mode 1 also ends after three occurrences of bonus mode 2
(described below)
Bonus mode 2 is activated by triple BARs or by certain combinations in bonus
mode 1. The JAC counter starts at 6 and goes down one for each winning spin.
Only the middle line is active in this mode. Winning makes no sense here. Just
hit R a few times and you'll usually hit a winning combo after one or two
tries though it can take more. Each win here is worth 15 credits as far as I
know. Six wins will end this bonus mode."
Adventure 7 slot machine I
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost: 1 coin per line
Biggest win: 1000 coins; triple 7
This slot machine is the same as in Alunze, you can choose 1 to 5 lines and,
just wait and see if you have won. You can win with three of the same, one or
two cherries on one line.
Adventure 7 slot machine II
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost: 10 coins per line
Biggest win: 10000 coins; triple 7
Same as the other adventure 7's. Only this bandit chews up ten times more
coins, but then again it gives you 10x more coins if you win.
Adventure 7 slot machine III
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost: 100 coins per line
Biggest win: 100000 coins; triple 7
Only accessible with VIP-card obtained from the prince of Auralio. Same as the
other machines, however this machine takes a whopping 100 coins per line.
Feeling lucky today?
Action bingo
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost: 1 to 99 coins per round
Biggest win: 99 x 128 = 12672; 99 coins as a bet and 3 rows with 4 golden
balls
The idea here is to get five numbers on one row either horizontal, vertical or
diagonal. First you must stop the 25 given numbers on the board from changing,
then a ball will be selected and the group of 6 ball surrounding that ball can
be moved for as long as the drawn ball is still rolling. In total there will
be thirteen balls, if by luck one(or two) of the two golden balls is drawn and
you form a row with the number of that golden ball you will win will be
doubled again. If you have gotten four on a row you can get a chance ball, if
you choose this you will get one more ball. However you must form a row with
this ball or else you will have nothing. This game also requires keen sight.
0 rows = 0x bet
1 row = 2x bet
2 rows = 4x bet
1 row with a gold balls = 4x bet
2 rows with a gold balls = 8x bet
1 row with two gold balls = 8x bet
2 rows with two gold balls = 16x bet
3 rows with four gold balls = 128x bet;
I've made an ASCII of this (theoretical) possibility:
B = a drawn ball
E = empty place
G = a golden ball
B e B e B
e G B B e
e e G e e
e B B B e
B e B e B
Here you have formed 3 rows (13 balls in total) with the use four golden
balls. (used the two golden balls 4 times in the 3 rows)
Which means: 2x * 2x * 2x * 2x * 2x * 2x * 2x= 2^7 = 128x
Blackjack
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost: 1 to 99 coins
Biggest win: 12672 coins; 99 as bet and win with "black ace" black jack.
Here you must get 21 points with the available cards, if you get more than 21
you lose automatically. Jack, Queen and King are worth 10 points, Ace is worth
1 or 11 points. You have to get as close as possible to 21 without going over
it. If the dealer (bank) has the same total as you the bank wins. Meaning that
if he has five cards you always lose, if you can have up to a maximum of 5
cards; this will increase you win with eight times.
- A 'Jack of Spades' and 'Ace of Spades' the dealer hits at 16, and stands on
17 you will get 128x your bet. Thanks to Card_Shark for this.
Relnqshd has the following 3 valuable tips to add:
- When you have to pick one of the 3 cards at the start, always take the Ace
if there's one (unless you can have the Jack of Spades). Since there are many
10-valued cards, the chances of getting a Toppin are quite high (Aces can also
help you winning with Five Cards).
- Getting a 'Black Jack' doesn't seem to be as rare as it should be. It
'think' that the Ace and Jack of Spades come out more often than they would in
real life. Therefore, I tend to play until I get a 'Black Jack' (=> I win
12672 coins), unless I'm very unlucky (in that case, I reset the game). Of
course, I save after get one.
- Blackjack is a good game to play when you don't have many coins. But if you
already have several thousands of coins, you should play Poker instead.
Win = 2x bet
Win with 'Toppin' (only Ace and a 10 Card) = 4x bet
Win with 5 cards = 8x bet
Win with 'Storm' (3 cards of same rank) = 16x bet
Win with street (three increasing numbers) = 16x bet
Win with blackjack (black ace) = 128x bet
Five card stud poker
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost: 1 coin at start, (298 at the end = maximum)
Biggest win: 298 x 4 x 10 = 11920
One pair = 10x total pot of all four contestants
Two pairs = ?
3 of a kind = ?
Full house = ?
4 of a kind = ?
Strait flush = ?
Royal flush = ?
Here are the possible hands you can get:
-1 pair A pair of Jacks or higher.
-2 pair 4 cards of two sets of two of the same value.
(Like two 6's and two 10's.)
-3 of a kind Three cards of the same number.
-Straight 5 consecutive cards, suit doesn't apply.
(Like a 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8)
-Flush Any 5 cards of the same suit.
-Full house 3 of a kind and a pair in the same hand.
(Like three J's and two 6's.)
-4 of a kind 4 cards of the same value.
(Like four 8's.)
-Straight flush 5 consecutive cards of the same suit.
-Royal Flush A hand of Ace, King, Queen, Jack, and 10 of the same suit.
(Also known as a Royal Straight Flush.)
(Note: The same suit means all spades, clubs, diamonds, or hearts.)
Full House
----------
Example: Say you have a full house of 3 8's and 2 6's. Your opponent has 3 7's
and 2 6's. You will win because your 8's have more power than your opponents
7's, (because of 8 being a higher number) even though both of you have the
same for a pair (6's).
Dilemma of the Straight Flush
-----------------------------
Example: say both you and your opponent have the same hand, but different
suits. (Like 9, 8, 7, 6, and 5.) You have hearts and opponent has diamonds. I
don't know which suit has more power, got to experiment on it.
Phoenix 1911 points out that this is called a 'Draw'. Thnx again.
--Okay back to the main story again.--
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
19. The Ruby Icon
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Dankirk Castle--
Inside the castle you can buy some equipment and some new and powerful
spells. Go up the stairs and check both of the upper chambers. In the throne
room, you'll find a greedy queen and a king who is easy influenced. The queen
wants to have the ruby icon and if she doesn't get it she will force the king
to declare war to Auralio.
In the other room, you will find the prince of Auralio and the ruby icon.
Talk to all three people, and when you try to exit the castle you will see two
people coming down the stairs talking about something. Go back to the prince
Leon's room and he will tell you that he is hiding the icon for safekeeping.
Maxim then figures out that it's stolen, so head back to Clamento to meet
Jaffy again. He will make a new glass icon for you. Give this one to the
prince and he will notice that it is a fake, but since the icon will make the
difference between war and peace he agrees to give this fake icon to the
queen.
However the queen immediately sees that the icon is a fake and a war between
kingdoms is eminent. You will hear the king asking for the servant/butler
James, but he seems to be missing. It's turns out that he went to the cave
north of Dankirk. Well time to find James. Perhaps he knows where it is. Well
then I guess you have to go to the Dankirk north cave.
--Dankirk north dungeon--
Chests: 7 (109)
Dankirk key, Dragon egg, Earth fruit, Figgoru, Flame jewel, Fury ribbon,
Hi-magic
Monsters:
Armour dait, Asashin, Bat, Big bat, Desert rose, Garbost, Medusa, Mummy,
Ramia, Red bat, Shadow, Vampire
Boss:
Soldier(4x)
-You might want to talk to the soldier, but anyway continue on to the next
room. Open the door by putting the vase on the switch that is hidden under the
middle top grass patch. In the next room take the upper right door, descend
the stairs and press the button in the next room, go back to the room with the
switch and the pillars. Put the switch in a position so that the pillar above
you is down, walk over the edge at the point of the arrow and let yourself
fall down. Use the hook to get over to the next platform and go down the
stairs behind the next door.
-Walk further through the next rooms, over the bridge and fall over the edge
again. Look at the skeleton in the lower right corner. Place a bomb next to it
to reveal another button. Walk over it to create a new route leading up. Whack
the red switch to your left, then go up the ladder and cut all the vines.
Place a bomb three times against the wall and explode them each individually
to open a secret passageway. Walk over the switch in the next room and collect
some earth fruit and Hi-magic.
-Take the stairs and use the door, now open the only door you haven't opened
in this room. Walk on, descend stairs again and place the pillar so you can
walk behind (under) it when you come across the eye in the wall. In the next
room, go down the ladder and up the other one. Whack the red switch here as
well and continue over the second glass bridge. Go down the stairs and use the
hook on the three levers on the other side of the gap in the next room to
create a bridge. Continue on till you get to the chest with the fury ribbon.
Use the hammer or bomb to open the wall to the next room. Cut the 4 vines to
reveal 2 eyes, and shoot at them with the hook. Some pillars will be lowered
making it able for you to cut some more vines. This will reveal yet another
eye, shoot it too. Go back a little to hit the switch, then down the stairs at
the upper part of the room to come to another small puzzle.
-First use the teleporter, and you will be in a room that is quite similar to
the previous one. Push the block onto the switch to the left, use teleport,
walk over the tile that rose up, teleport again, place the block on the right
switch and repeat the previous steps. Now you should be able to find the key.
Finally push the block to the middle square and two more bridges will appear,
so you can hit the last of the four switches, better go back to the room with
the glass bridges.
-Here you can get to a new stairway. Walk over the single ascended tile to
open the door. You can also find a hidden path in the wall if you cut the lone
grass patch and walk down and then left. It will lead to a Dragon egg, Figgoru
and a Flame jewel. From here on you will meet asashins; they are super fast
(AGL = 170) and they can use attacks that can cause instant death, so beware.
Don't go down the stairs here, but pick up the grate and fall down the hole.
-Hit the switch and go up the stairs, use the pillar to get across the gap,
walk down the stairs this time, over the bridge you created, and use the hook
to bring the switch back into its original position. Don't forget about the
Healing & Save Tiles you encounter here, they can be very handy now that you
have to face the Asashins. This will make the other bridge appear allowing you
to go further on. You must form an arrow pointing down, with the aid of some
blocks.

You can proceed down the stairs, open the door with the key. Get to the second
save tile and just walk through the next room to find the one and only missing
traitor James and the prince of the Gratze kingdom. He has offered a fine job
to James in exchange for the ruby icon, when they see you the prince will send
4 soldiers at you. A "boss" battle, if you would call it that....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Soldier (4x)
-------------
HP: 400 each
Weak: -
Strong: -
Protection: -
Specials: Dash
These four are just plain amateurs compared with the other monsters of this
dungeon; with an HP of 400 they will probably be gone if you use dragon
sword's IP; dragon fire once, or something like it. And for the survivors (if
there are any left, of course :) ) use a normal attack to take them out.
The prince will flee immediately leaving James and the ruby icon behind and
you will be automatically transported back to Dankirk.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Dankirk Castle--
The king will deal with James, and after the prince hands over the ruby icon
officially the two kingdoms will be at peace again. Go to Auralio to talk to
the prince, he will open the doors for you so you can explore almost the
entire world of Lufia. Talk to him again to receive the VIP-card it gives a
person access to the VIP-room in the casino.
You can go and check out the following villages, cities and kingdoms:
(visiting will add them to your warp list) Ferim, Pico, Treble, Portravia,
Barnan and Durale can be visited by boat. In some of the villages you are
unable to buy items for the very simple reason that they would be too strong
to use right now. Just for now go to Ferim for the next quest. But you can buy
thunder, firebird and some other powerful spells in one of the villages.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capsule monster: Darbi
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Capsule monster shrine--
You can get to him by sailing to the moon shaped isle to the west of Shrine
of Vengeance that is to the north of Chaed. Here you will find him on top of a
small shrine. Darbi uses special attacks, similar to the instant and destroy
spells. Meaning that he can instantly destroy a monster, but the spells are
not 100% guaranteed to work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20. The stone of princess Jerit
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Ferim--
Jerit, the princess of Ferim is married to a prince of some unknown kingdom,
but Jerit is in love with another person. Namely a normal soldier called Hans.
The king has told Prince Eric to get a stone from the northeast tower, but the
coward doesn't want to go so he orders the same Hans to get the stone from the
tower. Maxim and the others decide to go after Hans and lend him a hand.

NOTE: If you want to train against a lot of monsters, take the left door in
the first room, go up the stairs, and go up one room. There are
plenty of monsters in here.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-At the start bomb the upper right wall to reveal a passageway, go up the
stairs and move on two rooms. You will now be in a room with a movable pillar.
Move it to the right using the hammer and then get across using the hook. Go
outside, climb the ladder, and go in the left entrance. Whack the two arrow-
switches and pull the lever. The bridge will now move to the other side. Go
outside and now take the right entrance. Go up two rooms and collect the stun
gun on the left side of this room. Ascend the stairs, go outside, down the
ladder, and into the entrance.
-The next puzzle is one of the easiest in the entire game. Just walk all over
the tiles one time. But if you can't figure it out, (which is hard to believe)
follow this route from the start: ULUURULURRRDDLDDRRUUUU. The door will open
leading to some stairs and at the end of them you will find the trial key. Go
back to the room with the moveable bridge and put it back into its original
position. Ascend the stairs to come to the next puzzle. Leave the arrow-
switches in their original positions. Use the moving platform, and then take
the upper platform to get to the Samu jewel. Head back to the start. Change
the switch's direction and take the platform again. This time you will move to
the right. Change the arrow switch (if that is necessary) so it points down
and change the other one below you so it points to the right. Take the lower
platform to reach the Mysto jewel. Go back to the start again. Move the switch
so it points down. Take the platform and then move the switch so it points
down as well. Take the lower platform to reach the end.
-You can get through the door and get outside and climb the final ladder.
Continue on inside and push both switches to get the Samurai* monsters to walk
on the buttons so they will open the final door. Here you will find Hans, he
seems to be paralyzed, but by what?
* = There is a peculiar (and also useless) fact known about these monsters,
which is listed in 'Appendix F: Extra' under the 'Stuff' Section.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
20.1 Meet Amon - Master of chaos
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--North-east tower - continued--
Maxim and his friends feel an aura as well suddenly a man in golden armor
appears. His powerful aura is the reason for Hans being paralyzed, he tells
Maxim his name. It's Amon and he will make some threats. Guy tries to attack
him, but is defeated in one hit. Amon will disappear and you can go into the
last room. Hans will pick up a regular looking stone that appears to be the
jewel. Once he obtains it Hans will leave and go back to Ferim, you might as
well do the same.
--Ferim--
When Hans brings the stone back to prince Eric, he is furious because he
thinks that he couldn't find the jewel and brought back just a worthless
stone. Eric's servant then gives him a sapphire to give to the princess. When
Eric shows the sapphire, Jerit isn't interested, and says that this isn't the
jewel. Hans then appears and gives her the real stone and the two come
together. After this the king disposes of the prince. All's well that ends
well, but that's not the end of your quest.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21. Amon destroys Agurio
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Ferim - continued--
After these events, a messenger comes into the throne room. He tells about
how a single man in golden armor is destroying the village of Agurio. Talk to
the king and head for the place to the north. Go through the portal to get to
a small town called Agurio.
--Agurio--
Here dead people are lying on the ground and you will find Iris in the
destroyed church. She will first tell you to put away your sword and forget
everything that happened because on the next encounter with Amon they would be
killed by the supreme power. After some more talking, Iris explains that there
is a way to defeat Sinistrals. There is a legend about the Dual blade. It's a
legendary sword capable of increasing someone's power. This way you can become
strong enough to defeat the Sinistrals. So now you know what to do; search for
the legendary dual blade, but first you will have to complete some other
tasks. Go to Treble to ask people for more information.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
22. Transforming Excerion into a submarine
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Treble--
The people here are talking about a light ball hitting the water somewhere to
the south. They also talk about the developments in Kirmo's lab, a boat that
goes under water in particular. So go to Portravia to talk to a friend of
Lexis; Dr. Kirmo.
--Portravia--
Enter Kirmo's lab and talk to the scientist with green hair. He agrees to
bring in Excerion to change it so it is capable of going underwater. When
Kirmo orders a servant to get the plans, a small elf comes out of her hiding
place and steals the plans. Without those blueprints Kirmo and Co. can't make
the submarine. When you talk to the people outside, you will hear that the elf
went to the Mountain of no return. Gotta go after her... Mountain of no
return, here we come.
--Mountain of no return--
Chests: 1 (114)
Aqua sword
Monsters:
Desert Rose, Mad ent, Wheel eel
Boss:
Gargoyle (4x)
-In the first room you must push the blowing horse statue one place up in
order to get past it from behind. In the next room you must move the 2 horse
statues and the pillar (the others can't be moved). I shortened the names like
this:
L = horse statue blowing left
R = horse statue blowing right
D = Horse statue blowing down
P = Pillar
-Move P four to the left, move R up one place, and move L three squares to the
left. Push P up as far as possible, then move L up three squares, place P up
against the horse statue, and finally move R two to the right and three up.
-Proceed through the next rooms (there's only one way) until you come to a
room full of horse statues. Walk to the right until you are blocked then walk
down and push the statue one place down and the other to the right two or
three squares. Walk up again and between the second and the third '+' shaped
wall down. Move the statue below you down as far as possible and move the left
pillar that blocks you from pushing it down 1 tile. You can now collect the
aqua sword. Push the upper L to the left up 2 or 3 spaces. Walk to the left
and go down from here, then to the right and move the horse statue here a bit
upwards. Go to the right, head up, move the statue that blows down one to the
right. Walk back down and move the lowest statue to the far right until you
can reach the exit. You come outside, and you will see the thieving female elf
here. Maxim will chase it, and then four gargoyles trap her and it's up to you
to free her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Gargoyle (4x)
--------------
HP: 1000 each
Weak: Flying, Hard
Strong: Earth, Neutral
Protection: All Ailments, not Instant
Specials: Bite
This is one battle that isn't really the easiest. Use trick and Courage to
minimize damage and to increase battle power. Equip the flying ax, launcher
and eagle rocks; their IPs do extra damage on flying creatures. The Pumkin
Jewel's IP: Head Attack is 'Hard' Elemental too, so you can use that too.
Moreover the Gargoyles aren't protected against Instant attacks so the Mysto
Jewel's IP: Ninja (60% instant) or CM Darbi on Level 4 will do very well here
too!
Concentrate on one enemy; you should be able to take care of one gargoyle in
one or maybe two rounds. Just have one person heal, and it won't be so hard
since the Gargoyles don't seem to have other special attack than bite. Your
capsule monsters (Darbi if he is trained enough) can cause some damage if they
are at a reasonable level.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once they are annihilated, you will meet up with another elf named Artea or
just Arty. He will tell Milka to give the plans Back to Lexis. At first she
refuses but then she listens to Arty. Lexis then hears about the lab that is
polluting the entire area. After returning the plans, Dr. Lexis promises to
fix up the lab so it won't leak oil anymore. Then he leaves the scene (his
items, if needed can be found at Forfeit Island). Two other elves come to
report some bad news to Arty. They tell about a light ball that landed near
Eserikto; their village.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
23. Milka's mother is gone
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Eserikto--
Maxim suspects it has something to do with the Sinistrals, so he joins Arty.
When they warp to their village, you will hear that Amon, who wants to unseal
and obtain the stored energy in the divine shrine, took Milka's mom to the
temple. Artea will join you and you'd better buy some very strong spells and
some good weapons as well. After that, go to the divine shrine which is found
to the south of Eserikto.

-Go up one room and down the stairs to come to quite a huge puzzle room.
Select the hook and use it on the pillar to your left, then use it on the
pillar above you, then on the left one. Go up to the moveable pillar, move it
until you can't get any further, and take the lower left pillar. Take the
pillar below you and walk all the way to the second moveable pillar, and push
it to the right. Walk the path down, and use the hook again, and then use the
hook on the first pillar you moved into position, then go up again to reach
the stairs. On the next floor you will reach the revive armor. Go back to the
stairs you used into this room the first time. Here you will see two pillars
above you. Use your hook on the right one and use hook to the right and up.
-Move on this platform to the upper right corner and use you hook while
looking up. Go to the right again and move the third moveable pillar as far as
you can up. Go one platform to the left, then down and go up at the upper left
corner this time. Go left again, then walk towards the stairs, and don't go up
or you will reset the pillar. But don't forget it as well, because you need
these stairs to collect the key (so I call this point A). Head towards the
spikes and use the hook to raise a platform. Hookshot yourself towards the
platform and use the hook again to the pillar you just moved. Walk up and go a
platform to the right, then go down and walk up the stairs (call this point
B).
-Remove the six vases from the top left corner to find a pressed button.
Remove the pot from it to lower the spikes and go down the stairs here to
collect the rocket ring. Fall down and go back to point A. Go up the stairs
and walk up to find a room with the heart key. Go back to point B and move the
six vases in the lower right corner to find a weakened section, fall down, use
your hook to go to the left platform, then walk down and use your hook on the
lower of the two pillars to your left. Walk down again, go a platform to the
left, down, 2x right and up to reach the stairs.
-Walk through the next three rooms (you will ignite the candles when you walk
past them). Use the hook on the switch in the wall to get the platform to move
to the other side. Walk up two rooms, walk past the candles again and the wall
will open up, allowing you to go up the stairs. Break the upper wall with the
cracks to reveal a secret route to a small puzzle, step on the note blocks in
the following order:
3 2 4 1 5
All the spikes will lower and you can collect the 8th and final Dragon egg! A
secret that is hard to figure out here is that the upper wall here can be
breached leading to a chest with the holy whip. Go back to the room with the
stairs and go down one room. Go to the right and use the key on the big door.
Push the pillars on the switches using the hammer and go up.
-You will find Karyn and Amon. In an effort to destroy Amon she uses all her
powers and goes all out. A huge sacrifice, but she had to protect the sealed
energy in the next room from the Sinistrals at all costs. After seeing Karyn
die, Artea will join your fight against the Sinistrals to the bitter end.
Note: because of his anger, Arty's IP will become 100%. Go up one room so you
can absorb the sealed energy making you stronger against the Sinistrals. The
capsule monsters however don't get a power-up. Go back Eserikto first since
Milka is still waiting for her mother to return... Then go to Portravia to
check on Excerion, it will be finished. So go outside and use submarine mode
by pressing A.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capsule monster: Zeppy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Underwater cave, near Parcelyte--
Chests: 2 (121)
Secret fruit (2x)
If you go underwater you can move around and get to a cave where you will find
two chests and a red fish called (default) Zeppy. He is the seventh and final
capsule monster.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub-quest 2: The Egg dragon's eggs
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Dragon shrine--
Located on an island to the left of Pico (you can get here by use the
submarine mode) you will find the Egg dragon on top of his shrine. When you
collected all, you can summon Shenron, and wish for eternal lif.... Ehm... oh,
wait that's something different. I mean dragon eggs. Yes, the Egg dragon will
grant one of four selectable wishes. Here are the dragon eggs locations again:
1. In the cave to Sundletan
2. In the basement of Alunze castle
3. the small girl in Merix has it
4. In the northern labyrinth of Bound
5. In the northern lighthouse
6. Inside the flower mountain
7. On the third floor down in the Dankirk dungeon
8. In the divine shrine
The four wishes are:
Wish Stars Description
-------------------- ----- ---------------------------------------------
10 potions ***** 10x All 6 Statistic increasing potions
20 pieces of fruit ** 20x All types of food for capsule monsters
an old shield **** Shield with extreme DFP
a set of super rings * Can be found in other parts of the game
After making the wish, he will place the eggs in random chests around the
world. Get the Sonar from the Casino at Forfeit Island and use it upon
entering every dungeon. If you have followed my walkthrough, all the chests
will be opened. The number of tones will be the number of Dragon eggs in the
dungeon. (Don't forget to check Zeppy's cave, Alunze castle (and the ancient
cave, if you collected the ancient key)). In total, the dragon will grant you
four wishes. I usually choose 1 Old shield, and 3x 10 potions.
When you made your fourth wish the dragon will challenge you to a fight. Read
Appendix: C to learn how to defeat the toughest enemy in the game (he's harder
and stronger than all four Sinistrals combined) in my opinion, unless you
choose to use the cheap strategy listed there.
--Chaed--
You can also get to Chaed now, here they sell some very strong and expensive
weapons, but they are worth it. Especially the rune rapier, but they are very
expensive.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
24. Investigating the Shrine of Vengeance
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Barnan--
People here are talking about a light ball going to the southern shrine, so I
guess you have to check that out as well. If you walk towards the temple you
will find out that the normal entrance is a dead end. Better go to the
Excerion and dive underwater, and you should be able to find an entrance due
south of the temple. After you get in the temple use the small dock and the
stairs to go up one room.
--Shrine of Vengeance--
Chests: 8 (129)
Boom sword, Bright armor, Cursed bow, Evil jewel, Freeze sword, Ghost key,
Heal armor, Power Robe
Monsters:
Bat, Big bat, Dark warrior, Demise, Fiend, Hades chariot, Hades skull,
Jurahan, Nosferato, Red bat, Samurai, T-rex, Vampire, Waiban, Wizard
Boss:
Venge ghost
-You will start in a room with three switches. Pull the lever, hit the red and
green switches once, and pull the lever again. The wall will move, opening a
secret route. Then hit the left switch again to open the door. Go through the
next rooms and use the hammer to move the pillar from the edge so you can get
across using the hook. Continue on down the stairs, walk to the next room and
get the Demise on the other side to get stuck between the spikes. This will
cause him to stand on the button, opening the door for you.
-Go down the stairs again, walk in this room through the right wall, and you
will find a lever. Use it and go up one room, fall down the edge, go up the
small stairs, go left and use your fire arrows (regular arrows work to
actually) to burn the ropes holding the bridge a float. Walk to the left and
up and over the gap with the hook to get to the power robe. Head down, go up
the ladder, through the door and move the pillars into the water. This will
heighten the water and extinguish the candles causing the spikes to lower.
Don't go to the teleporter yet. Look at the upper wall, the part with the
candle in the wall. Blast it and it will reveal a secret room. Continue up to
collect the freeze sword and the boom sword. Teleport back to the room with
the three switches and put them in their original state to proceed on (Just
reverse the operations I listed at the start of this dungeon.
-Walk up two rooms and here you will see some stairs. Go down and solve the
easy puzzle. It's something like this: Push both blue blocks on the squares
between the spikes. Hit the switch and do it again with red to collect the
ghost key. Back up the stairs and walk through a couple of rooms to come to a
room with cracks in the upper wall of this corridor. Hit the extreme right one
to find the heal armor and the extreme left one to get to the big door. Use
the key on it and continue down the stairs again.
-Stand on the 1 x 1 square platform to get a free ride to the other side.
Ascend the stairs again and go down one room. Bomb the fallen pillar just as
in Karlloon to open the way to a skeleton lying on the ground. Use the bombs
again to find a weakened section where you can fall down. Walk to the left and
whatever you do DON'T use the teleporter at the top of the screen since it is
only a waste of time, because you are send back to the upper level meaning
that you have to go through all of it once again to reach this point. Use
bombs or the Hammer to destroy the two crackled pillars, then a ladder will
fall down allowing you to get to the next two stairways. Ascend them both,
walk down, left, and break the upper wall section to the left. From here head
up two stairs and destroy the upper wall here as well to collect the bright
armor.
-Ascend the stairs again to find the (cursed) evil jewel. Go down all stairs
then go to the right. Use the hammer to bring down the small bridge and walk
up to the door to the right. Here you must do some ironing; the only way to
open the door is to get all the wrinkles out of the red 4 x 4 carpet. Further
on you best heal & save here, because the next boss is quite a toughie. Better
make sure your experience level of the four allies is over 40.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Venge ghost
-----------------
HP: 7500
Weak: Light, Heal
Strong: Ice, Shadow
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Confuse, Doomcry, Hatred = "Checks Situation"
Some of his attacks consist of instant types; this means that ghost is
dangerous and very lethal. It happened more than once that he kills three of
my party members in one turn! So beware, but luckily he will sometimes skip a
round. (Checking on the situation) In order to overcome this problem equip
armors that have status protection against "Confusion" and "Instant Death",
here are some examples:
Holy Robe -> Protects from Instant Death, Paralysis & Poison
Ruse Armor -> Protects from Instant Death
Undead Ring -> Protects from Instant Death & All attacks are 'Light' elem.
(For a complete list; see Appendix B: Chart Tables)
Make sure you equip some light/'holy' weapons if possible. The rune rapier is
perfect for him, if you bought one like I suggested earlier on. You can also
use weapons like Blaze sword, Fry sword or Divine whip. The IP of the Light
jewel does over 2500 damage to him! Items that work well on undead have a good
effect as well like undead ring. Some shadow protecting type armor might be
handy as well.
NEW STRATEGY by Phoenix 1911:
"The Venge Ghost can also be healed to death. Have Maxim or Guy with the Heal
Armor, and have his IP percentage filled to about 90%. Equip Selan with the
Power Robe, and have her IP percentage filled to about 25%. Start the battle,
and let Maxim use Rebirth on the Venge Ghost for 3660 damage, let Selan use
Sacred Song for 2745 damage, let Artea use Valor for 925 damage, then let Guy
(or Maxim) finish it off with any attack that does at least 170 damage. Wham!
The ghost is gone..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-After he's defeated, you can go up a room to collect the cursed bow. Uncurse
this weapon and Arty will be able to use the bow to attack all enemies. Now
it's time to go back to Barnan.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25. The test of Iris
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Barnan--
In Barnan you will meet Iris again who is talking about a test to prove if
the love between Selan and Maxim is true. So it's decided to go to the tower
of truth.
--Durale--
If you talk to people in Durale you will hear that there is a mirror in the
tower that shows only the one you care about most. Buy Arty the Zap spell for
65000 Gold. This might seem a lot and the cost of the spell is 30 MP! But it's
worth it, because this is the strongest Light magic available.
--Tower of truth--
Chests: 5 (134)
Ghost clothes, Ghost ring, Song rock, Super sword, Truth key
Monsters:
Basilisk, Cyclops, Gorgon, Grianos, Hidora, Lunar bear, Mimic, Nail armor,
Sea hidora, Serein, Serfaco, Sly fox, Tartona, Thunderbeast
Boss:
White dragon (3x)
-Go up one room, then to the right door, press the right button, and copy the
music ladder by pressing the notes like: 3 2 1 4. Go up two rooms and hit the
lever, now go back to the first room with enemies, and blow the weakened
section of the upper wall. Then use the hook on the pole on the other side of
the gap. Go up the stairs, and down one room, and stun the siren here because
if you kill her, four hidoras will come falling into the room. You don't want
that to happen unless you are training.
-Down the next room, then through the right door to come to a puzzle with head
blowers. Hit the red switch using the hook and walk to the right wall. Walk
down until you reach the pole with the blue mark in the middle. Use shoulder R
button to turn and hit the switch again. Head down two or so squares and walk
to the left. Hit the switch again and walk towards the exit. You will come
outside and you will find out that you can walk all the way up to the top. But
since you don't have the key it would be wise to check the other floors as
well. Head up one ladder to find a super sword. After two rooms and falling
down in a weakened section of the floor, you will find the chest behind a
weakened wall section. Go back outside and walk into the entrance of 4F.
-At F4 walk up a room and press the right of the two buttons. If you number
the notes from left to right you must hit the notes in this order: 3 2 4 1,
and use the hook to reach note 5. The spikes will lower, so you can descend
the stairway. Proceed on two rooms and you will come to a puzzle involving a
crate, two vases and two buttons. If you place two vases on the switches you
can go back a room again. Place a crate on the right switch and a vase on the
left one to open the door to a mimic. Place a vase on the right and a crate on
the left to open the door to another stairway. Further to the right you will
come to a room filled with enemies. Open the three chests in the lower right
corner to get Song rock, ghost ring, and ghost clothes. Go up one room,
another stairway, down a room.
-Here you will find the last puzzle room in this tower: First place the vase
and crate on the buttons to your left, walk over the bridge you created. On
the other side you will see a block, move it on the button just below it, and
go back to the entrance of this room. Pick up the vase, walk down to the next
button, go back, pick up the crate, and place it on the button past the three
bridges. Walk to the extreme left, push the block to the upper button, go back
to the crate, lift it, and place it on the next button. Finally place a bomb
next to the crate and walk over the bridge and let the bomb explode when you
are on the small island in mid air. You can get to the truth key from here.
-Afterwards, go outside again and go to the uppermost floor. Go through the
door, ascend the stairs, go up a room to find save tile, down to get outside
again, and go through the right door. Go up a room to meet up with Iris. Maxim
and Selan will go for the test, but before they look into the mirror they
promise each other to keep on believing in each other even if the others'
image doesn't appear. Then Iris and the others come into the room. They came
to warn Maxim about the three white dragons. Maxim and Selan take a step back
and Iris notes that their images are visible in the mirror after that they do
battle with the dragons.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: White dragon (3x, regular enemy)
------------------
HP: 550 each
Weak: Fire, Flying, Dragon
Strong: Ice, Earth
Protection: Ailment not Instant
Specials: Cold stream, Stronger, Ice Valk
Use fire and dragon attacks if you have those equipped. They will be gone very
soon, but you do have to be careful because they are fast. Other than that
they aren't very special at all.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-After their defeat, the mirror will be broken and they will leave the tower.
Iris comes back and heals the broken mirror again. As you look in the mirror
you will look at a person that isn't Iris and she is thinking about something.
Oh well, better continue on, it's time to head for Chaed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
26. The elder of Chaed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Chaed--
The people in this village are talking about the elder leaving to the dragon
mountain volcano to find out why it's very close to erupting. Maxim and the
others also go to the mountain to find the elder, for he seems to have some
information regarding the dual blade. (This is the biggest dungeon in the
game, after the ancient cave of course!)
--Dragon Mountain--
Chests: 20 (154)
Anger ring, Gorgon rock, Hidora rock, Hi-power ring, Holy robe, Kraken stone,
Legend helm, Lizard hit, Magma key, Magic scale, Mega shield, Miracle(3x),

S-witch ring
Monsters;
Behemoth, Brokion, Crow, Green dragon, Salamander, Hidora, High hidora,
Magma gorem, Red dragon, Sea hidora
Boss: Fire dragon
-Head to the right and up one stairway to an entrance. Go inside, up one room,
and here you will find a small puzzle in which you have to blast all the
bushes in one go. It's easy once you know the trick. It goes like this:
B = bush
b = bomb
C = cleared / burned bush
m = Maxim
picture 1 picture 2 picture 3 picture 4
B B B B B B B B B C C C
C m m b b b b b m C C
B B B B m b B B C C
B B B C
-The door will be opened so you can get the sonic ring. Use the hook to get
across and climb the stairs. In this room there's not much to do so go up the
other stairs. Use the hook to your right to get to the next platform. Lure the
behemoth to get him to stand on the four weakened sections in the middle of
the floor so he will fall down the hole. When this happens you will see that
the hole next to you will be filled up, allowing you to walk over it. You
don't have to go up the stairs since they lead to a dead end. Better walk
down, outside, use the hook on the pole to your left, and get to the next
entrance.
-Go down the stairs again, walk up one room and go down again. You will come
to a room with two brokions and a behemoth guarding the weakened floor
section. Don't fall down here yet, but go outside to collect the magma key.
Then go back and attack them. Fall down the weakened section and go outside
again. Walk up the ladder and go to the right to walk to another ladder.
Continue on inside and use the key. You will have to solve a puzzle where you
need to switch between hammer and hook quite a lot.
-First use the hammer on the right of the two pillars to move it up one place.
Make use of the hook to get across the lava pit, then push it up again and use
the hammer on the pillars on the platforms to your left and above you. Use the
hook on the pillar on the left platform to get across the lava. Then use the
hammer and hook to get to the platform above you. Use the hook a second time
to get across the lava pit above you to reach three chests containing the
magic scale, S-pro ring, and miracle. The hammer / hook combination on the
pillar below you, and again on the pillar to your right. The combo can be used
again on the pillar that is now below you. Finally you need to use the hook on
the pole to your right to reach the stairs.
-Go down a room here and equip the fire arrow for the next puzzle room. Here
you must burn 13 bushes before you can continue on. Walk the following path
(you're starting point is the tile on which you can stand with your back
against the door opening):
R= right L= left
U= up D= down
(R)(L)(D)(U) = turn in this direction with the use of the shoulder buttons
F= use a fire arrow
The path itself is:
RDDDDD(L)F, LF, DR(U)F, LLLL(D)F, UF, RRRR(U)F, (D)F, LL(D)F, RR(U)F, LU(L)F,
DL(U)F, (D)F, RR(U)F
-Head outside and up the stairway. Go inside. Here you will find a wall that
is hiding a secret entrance. But first go down the stairs to find a save tile.
Go down again by taking the left stairs to get to a room with an anger ring,
kraken rock, S-mind ring. Go back up again and take the right stairs down and
again down, and again, then down the first ladder and down the right of the
two ladders. Use the hook to get to a platform with an S-witch ring and Hi-
power ring. Go back to those two ladders where you just were. If you want to
meet the boss immediately, use the ice blocks to get to the big bridge and
read at continue.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
26.1 The world's most difficult trick
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Dragon mountain--
If you want to collect some very powerful weapons, go back up the stairs to
the save point and up another room. Here you find the wall with the secret
entrance I spoke of earlier. To open it you must do the following:
W = wall
1,2,3,4 = weakened wall and how much it's weakened
O = the weakened wall is breached / opened
B = bomb
E = explosion radius of the bomb
H = hammer Maxim is using
m = Maxim
picture 1 picture 2 picture 3 picture 4 picture 5
W W W 1 W W W W W 3 W W W W W 2 W W W W W 4 W W W W W O W W
B E E m B B E E E E H
m E B m B m E E m
E
You can go down a hole and some stairs to get to "the world's most difficult
trick". I have solved this fiendish trick but, it's almost impossible to write
a walkthrough for it. The best hint I can give you is that the whole puzzle is
about getting the big square past the single horizontal segment. Once you've
done that, you have solved this puzzle.
Here's the complete solution in 18 steps by Simpleton:
----------------------------------------------------------
0 = Big square block with the four treasure chests
1,2,3,4 = vertical rectangular blocks
5,6,7,8 = small square blocks
9 = horizontal rectangular block
R = move one space right
L = move one space left
U = move one space up
D = move one space down

After a small tune of victory the other segments will disappear, and you can
get those four chests. They contain: Lizard blow, Mega shield, Legend helm and
the Holy robe. You just 'might' find these useful. :)
-Once you have finally finished this puzzle, go down the stairs to your right.
Don't walk to the left but go up, down the ladder, to the right, up the
ladder, and collect the three chests. Inside are: S-myst ring, S-power ring
and miracle. Cut the bush to your left to find the spot so you can fall down
onto the button below you. From here on you can collect the hidora rock. Fall
down a couple of times and use the hook to get to the other side. Then go up
the stairs and walk to the upper left wall. Behind it is the gorgon rock. Go
back to the long bridge in the room you just were.
-Walk to the middle of the bridge and it will collapse. The only way to move
on is down the stairs. Use the hook to get to the platform below you, then to
the right, (twice) and walk up the ladders several times leading to the elder
of Chaed. Now it's time to fight the fire dragon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Fire dragon
-----------------
HP: 7500
Weak: Dragon, Ice, Flying
Strong: Fire, Earth
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Bite, Drowsy*, Incendiary
* = this is not the regular Drowsy spell, but a more effective one!
His attacks will cause either fire or thunder powered. The dragon can also use
a different and more powerful version of Drowsy. Use your best IPs to hit the
dragon hard and have Selan cast healing or stat increasing spells. Equip flame
helmets and flame shields from the ancient cave. This will reduce damage that
you have to sustain a lot.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Eliminating him frees the elder whom will invite you to come to his place in
Chaed. Since you don't have to do much at this particular moment you might as
well do so. Don't forget to pick up the miracle just behind the teleporter on
your way out.
--Chaed--
Go to his house and listen to his story. He has heard of the legend of the
Dual blade as well. According to him the queen of the underwater city of
Preamarl should know where to find the sword. He then gives you the key to the
underwater city; the mermaids key. Go to the small moon shaped island where
you found Darbi. Dive here to find the entrance to underwater city of
Preamarl.

27. The mermaid queen and her daughter Piara
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Preamarl--
Upon entering the throne room of Preamarl you can talk to Queen Marla. You
are talking about the dual blade, and at that moment, a servant comes in to
tell you that the princess is missing. He says that she was last spotted near
a cave to the north. He also warns that the currents have changed into a
dangerous way. After talking, the queen is going away to do "something", and
you probably know what that is. So use Excerion to find the entrance to the
north (near the triangle shaped islands). Here it's boss time, you will have
to fight the ghost ship.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Ghost ship
----------------
HP: 10000
Weak: Fire, Light, Heal
Strong: Ice, Shadow
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Doomcry, Calling Companions (Deadly Sword, Dark/Hades Skull)
This enemy is easy when you use firebird on him, and you don't need to heal
because he never attacks; he usually summons a weak creature like a deadly
sword. You can also try to heal him to death. It will take you several rounds
to finish him, so make sure you eliminate the skulls and swords he summons. If
you don't do that, the screen will fill up and he will start using Doomcry;
and that can't be good.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After his defeat you will have saved the queen and the princess and all seems
to be well, but when the other soldiers arrive new currents develop. Follow
the mermaids and you will find a huge temple.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27.1 The Dual blade
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Dual blade Shrine--
After Daos exterminates the four mermen guards, it's up to you to enter the
shrine. Go down the stairs and up to the teleporter to come to an area that
looks completely normal on my European Cartridge, but I've heard that the US
cartridge and the US ROM will glitch this part for some reason. Just follow
these simple instructions to reach the top if you are playing the glitched
version of the game:
-Walk up until you hit a wall (the screen doesn't move)
-Take 3 steps left or right
-Go up until you hit another wall
-Take again three steps to the right or left (other side as before)
-Up
Here you will find the legendary "Dual Blade" floating in the air and it's
ringing for Maxim but not for the others. Then they will feel a force stronger
than anything else they have ever encountered. It belongs to the leader of the
four Sinistrals.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
27.2 Daos - Master of Terror; Leader of the Sinistrals
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Dual blade shrine - continued--
This Sinistral calls himself Daos and he is unwilling to believe that any
other person than him can hold the Dual blade. After the dual blade disappears
you are transported back to Chaed and it will seem as if it became night. But
it turns out to be the shadow of a large island hanging in the sky. It appears
to be the home of the Sinistrals then Daos will talk to Maxim telling him that
he will destroy Chaed as demonstration of his power and he does so.
Miraculously Maxim and the others are unharmed. They are now furious at Daos
and they try to figure a way to get up to his shrine in the sky (Note: their
IP will go up to 100% after the destruction of Chaed). Go back to Portravia to
talk to doctor Lexis.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
28. Engine needed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Portravia--
Lexis will explain that he and the others can convert the Excerion for air
traveling. But in order to do so they need a stronger motor. Lexis has heard
of a kingdom called Gratze. Their technology has far more advanced technology,
so you have to go there and "lend" a suitable engine from them (you can go to
the Dankirk dungeon to check out the bridge, but since it broken you might as
well take the sub right away towards Gratze kingdom). Once you found the way
to the entrance to the Gratze kingdom, (using the door you saw where the
prince escaped in the Ruby Icon) go up a couple of rooms to get to the
kingdom.
--Dankirk North Dungeon (optional)--
If you go through the hassle of getting your party to the end of this dungeon
(where you found the Soldiers last time round), your party members will notice
that the bridge to the door leading to Gratze is broken. So you need to get
back to your submarine in order to find the whirlpool to the north of Gratze
Kingdom. This dialogue is NOT required however to get through this door, so
you can take a big shortcut if you go strait to Gratze without visiting this
dungeon once again.
--Gratze kingdom--
The name sometimes glitches to '3y kingdom and also into Grassei kingdom (if
you press X when selecting the basement key once you have it in your
inventory). Now you will be taken prisoner and here you will meet up with Bart
& Bertie (from Alunze). They will open the door for you allowing you to
escape. Continue on to the right to find some healing tiles and a save tile.
Continue on and here you have to fight four soldiers. I don't call this a
battle, just attack normal and they won't even have the chance to hit you a
single time. Go up the stairs to come to the last basement dungeon of the
game: Gratze dungeon.
--Gratze dungeon--
Chests: 2 (156)
Basement key, Miracle
Monsters:
Basilisk, Gold gorem, Snow gas, Soldier, Squid, Warm eye, White dragon
Boss:
Tank
-Go up one room then lift the pot to the right and walk over the switch with
the pot lifted to open the door. Walk up one room, place the pillar on the
button and get across the gap using the hook on the pole that just came out of
the ground. Walk towards the lever and switch it. Go back using the hook on
the pillar and breach the dark wall to your right to come to a room with
another switch. Trigger this one as well. Head back towards the start and look
to the right here. You will see some vines, cut them and breach the wall. Walk
up in the next room and move the second pillar of the left column to find the
stairway leading to the basement key.
-Head back to the room with the pot and switch, but this time use the lower
door. Hit the eye in the wall to open the door and go up two rooms, up the
stairs, and use the door below you. Go down the right door to come to a switch
two rooms further on. Go back and take the lower left door to eventually come
to the miracle. Return again and take the last door to find three more rooms.
Go up the stairs and walk down one room. This puzzle is quit easy, just move
the tiles a bit until you can reach the exit. Go up the final stairs to meet
up with Bart & Bertie. Here you will have to fight the normal soldiers again.
After the team dispose of them it's time for a real battle against the tank.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boss: Tank
----------
HP: 10000
Weak: Hard
Strong: Fire, Water, Ice, Thunder
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Incendiary Bomb, Machine Gun Attack, Magic Gale Bullet,
Missile Blast = (Checks Situation), Piercer
This tank has extreme magic resistance so only use weapons on him. Beware that
his Magic Gale Bullet can silence your character. Try to cast spells like
trick and brave to increase ATP and DFP, heal when needed with champion. After
a couple of rounds he is finally defeated.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-You will automatically receive the motor for beating the tank. The prince
will be quite upset and he even blows up the entire kingdom. Party is over,
time to leave.
--Portravia--
Bring the motor to Lexis and he will fix the ship for flight. This allows you
to explore every nook of the world in Lufia. So go to the final village of the
game: Narvick. It is located near the underwater shrine where you met Daos.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
29. The sealed towers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Narvick--
The people in this village have dedicated their lives to worshipping super
creatures. The shop here sells the strongest weapons and armors that can be
bought, for the right price that is. Talk to the elder and take the first of
the three maidens to the tower of Shuman.
--Shuman, sealed tower-- (Tower South of Narvick)
Chests: 3 (159)
S-ice ring, S-thunder ring, S-water ring
Monsters:
Basilisk, Black dragon, Blue dragon, Gorgon, Leech, Mega Cyclops, Red dragon,
Sphinx, Thunder beast
Boss:
Sinistral; Gades - Master of destruction
Walk up the big stairs, go to the right, up the stairs, and follow this path
until you come to the first door. Go inside the tower and use the stairs to
exit again. Walk up the stairway and to the right to find a small chamber with
the S-ice ring.
-Go back to the first door and continue to follow this path. Now you will see
two doors. Take the left door, ascend the stairs, and take the left door again
to find a chest with the S-water ring. Take the right door and ascend twice.
Go up and defeat the leech to make the stairs appear. Go up some stairs and
stairways, go down some stairs, head outside and to the far right.
-Go down to eventually come to the S-thunder ring. Head back to the most upper
part and enter the door. Defeat the black dragon(s), continue up the stairs to
come to a save point. Go up again to meet Gades the third time.
==============================================================================
Boss: Sinistral; Gades - Master of Destruction
==============================================
HP: 7500
Weak: Light
Strong: Shadow
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Destructo-wave
Like I said this is the third round and he shouldn't be too much of a
challenge. He's not very strong. Best thing to do is use the Fry sword, Blaze
sword, or Rune rapier on him.
==============================================================================
-After this battle, you can collect the pearl (divine) armor. At this point
the first maiden will leave you. Go back to Narvick to the elder and take the
second maiden with you.
--Stradha, sealed tower (tower North-East)--
Chests: 0 (159)
Monsters:
Basilisk, Black dragon, Blue dragon, Gorgon, Leech, Mega Cyclops, Red dragon,
Sphinx, Thunder beast
Boss:
Sinistral; Amon - Master of Chaos
-Walk to the right and follow the path outside as far as possible by going up
all the time, then enter a door and follow the only possible route leading up
to a leech. Destroy the leech and the next stairway will appear.
-Go outside and follow the path outside as far as possible before entering the
most upper door. Ascend the stairs, defeat the black dragon, continue up the
stairs and you will come to a save tile. Go up the stairs and you will battle
Amon.
==============================================================================
Boss: Sinistral; Amon - Master of Chaos
===============
HP: 10000
Weak: Light
Strong: Shadow
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Chaos wave, Galactic Lancer, Thunder, Ice Valk
The same things count for Amon as in the battle against Gades; however Amon is
a bit stronger and has more HP. He can prove to be difficult because his Chaos
wave will usually confuse at least one character. So use shriek to nullify
confusion and use some IPs that are Light elemental powered.
==============================================================================
-Once defeated, you can collect the pearl (divine) helmet and this maiden will
stay at the top of this tower. Go back to the elder of Narvick for the last
time to get the third and last maiden.
--Kamirno, sealed tower (tower North-West)--
Chests: 1 (160)
S-fire ring
Monsters:
Basilisk, Black dragon, Blue dragon, Gorgon, Leech, Mega Cyclops, Red dragon,
Sphinx, Thunder beast
Boss:
-
-The last tower in the game, here goes: Walk up and go inside the door you see
at the upper part of your screen. Ascend and take the lone door up to your
right to find the final super ring: The S-fire ring. From here take the lower
left path and go up as far as possible before entering the room with a Cyclops
and a gorgon. Go up the stairs and go to the left and follow the only possible
path. Defeat the gorgon and head up the stairs that will be created after the
gorgon's defeat.
-From here you can take multiple routes, but they eventually come to the same
spot with the leech that stands on one place. After it's defeated go up the
stairs to come to the final save tile! Save here, because this is your last
chance of doing so. Ascend the stairs to claim the Pearl (divine) shield.
-Daos and the Dual blade will appear again, but this time however the Dual
blade chooses Maxim as his rightful owner. Daos will be furious when he sees
that the legendary sword chooses someone over him, he then leaves the scene.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30. Repairing Excerion
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Kamirno sealed tower - continued--
A conversation with the last maiden starts and you will find out that the
isle of doom has hit the Excerion, so you have to go back to Portravia to see
Lexis to repair the ship.
--Portravia--
After some more talking you regain control. Equip the dual blade on Maxim and
go inside again to talk to Lexis again. It's time to head for the doom-island
for the final confrontation and the ultimate battle between good and evil.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final. Daos' shrine
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--Excerion--
After a small cut-scene you will arrive at the shrine and you check if you
are all right. Selan will cast the "light" spell. Now you will hear Daos
speaking. This is it, confront the Sinistrals and take care of them for good.
It's not that hard to defeat them because they are far from invincible.
--Daos' shrine--
Chests: 12 (172)
Miracle(12x)
Monsters:
-
Bosses: Sinistrals;
Gades - Master of Destruction
Amon - Master of Chaos
Erim - Mistress of Death
Daos - Master of Terror
This is it, the last shrine and the direct confrontation with all four
Sinistrals. Don't forget to equip the dual blade. If you have any statistic
boosting potions left you might as well want to use them now. Collect the
miracles in the shrine if you please. Also at the start of each battle against
a Sinistral your IP will boost up to the maximum limit; 100%
Here's a nice set of equipment for all 4. I heard a new Strategy from Relnqshd
so I adapted the equipment for the Sinistrals. Yes, that's right use the
Silver Sword instead of the Dual Blade, you'll see later on why.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Maxim Selan Guy Artea
-------------- -------------- -------------- ----------------
Silver Sword Blaze Sword Fry Sword Crystal Wand
Pearl Armor Ruse Armor Old Armor Magic Scale
Apron Shield Dark Mirror(U) Zirco Shield Rune Gloves
Pearl Helmet Brill Helm Old Helm Boom Turban
Egg Ring Dia Ring S-Power Ring Dragon Ring
Evil Jewel(C) Light Jewel Gold Eye Evil Jewel(C)
(C) = Cursed
(U) = Uncursed
You can go to the left to get a chest containing a miracle and go down to
reach three more miracles. Go up the stairs to find another. Take the middle
path, and talk to Gades.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gades - Master of Destruction
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP: 7500
Weak: Light
Strong: Shadow
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Destructo-wave
Here's how I defeated this goon easily, since you know the weapons / armors /
items I equipped, Maxim's Holy Energy combined with the Egg Ring's power
should get you a single round kill. Yep, Holy Energy is THAT strong! Even the
mighty Dual Blade can't match up with that power. So the battle will be like:
Round 1: Maxim: IP; Holy Energy
Selan: IP; Flash (Light Jewel)
Guy: IP; regular Attack (or Sizzle)
Artea: IP; Holy Energy, or Zap spell
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Walk up the stairs and walk to the right to find another chest with a miracle.
Go up a room, then down in the next room, there's a Miracle in the
neighborhood as well. Go up again and walk towards the most upper part of the
lowest floor to find 2 more miracles. Walk up the two small stairways to reach
Amon.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Amon - Master of Chaos
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP: 10000
Weak: Light
Strong: Shadow
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Chaos wave, Galactic lancer, Thunder, Ice valk
He fights a little different than Gades, but he's still not much of a fight.
(His Chaos wave can cause people to get confounded though)
Round 1: Maxim: Regular Attack
Selan: IP; Flash (Light Jewel)
Guy: IP; Beserker
Artea: IP; Holy Energy, or Zap spell
Round 2: Maxim: IP; Holy Energy (Should get you the kill already)
Selan: regular attack
Guy: regular attack
Artea: Zap spell, or regular attack
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Go up the stairs and collect the three miracles in this room and now on to the
confrontation with the only Sinistral that you haven't met, yet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Erim - Mistress of Death
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP: 15000
Weak: Light, Hard
Strong: Fire, Water, Ice, Thunder, Shadow
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Devastation wave, (Eerie light, Thunder & Zap Dummied out)
I think she's the hardest of the Sinistrals. It's a little harder to write a
walkthrough for her, because she uses an instant kill type attack; the
Devastation wave. To make it even worse, you lose all your IP if a person gets
killed. Fortunately there is protection from that, like the undead ring, Ruse
Armor, Dark mirror (uncursed) and Ghost Ring. Check the Item Charts for more.
She has somewhat more HP than Amon, but the fight should be similar to
previous two. So there is no need for another description; Holy Energy should
get you through this very fast.
On a side note: You should feel lucky that her strongest attack: "Eerie
Light" is dummied out. This attack is similar to Dark Fry, but it also cancels
out ALL upgrades including, but not limited to: Beserker, Force Field, Trick
and even Wave Motion.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Go up the stairs (I'm glad to say that this is the final time I have to use
this word!) to meet Daos. After some talking you will hear him say: "No one
can challenge me", and the final battle commences.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daos - Master of Terror
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP: 20000
Weak: Light, Hard
Strong: Fire, Water, Ice, Thunder, Shadow
Protection: All Ailments
Specials: Terror wave, Dark reflector, Dark fry, Dragon, Thunder,
Firebird, Ice valk
He's a cookie (or Hoochie if you prefer) compared to Erim, however if he
manages to stun two party members you have to give up a round to cure them.
Use the same tactics as on Erim to deal with him. If he casts Dark reflector,
have the one whom attacks first use "Absorb" to nullify the dark reflector
without getting damaged yourself (For me that is Maxim since he's the one with
the highest AGL, because of the Egg Ring).
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
After his defeat, Daos still doesn't know when to quit. After a failed
attempt to kill you, he then succeeds in triggering a mechanism that causes
the island to fall on top of Parcelyte. Iris will appear and help you out in
this very last part of the game. Go up to the teleporter she created and walk
around a bit to find the three stones that need to be destroyed. When you
destroy the last one, the game will go over into the end sequence.
My walkthrough is ends here, but after you see "The end", wait a couple of
minutes and you will get a status report. On the first page, how many times
each member got defeated. On the second some statistics of your adventure are
visible. On the third there are some statistics of the ancient cave.

GAME FINISHED!

==============================================================================
Appendix A: Capsule monsters
==============================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. The 7 elements
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are seven of these monsters that fight on your side. They fight on
their own and are not as strong as other party members, but their special
attacks can be quite devastating to your enemies. Most of them run away when
they are hit, but I have noticed that when they reach the M(master) level,
none of them will run away anymore. Although some of them still use the defend
command very often.
Also some of the attacks have to be learned first, so it might be possible if
not all attacks are immediately available when you evolve the capsule monster.
The moment a capsule monster learns a new attack is random, so you just need
to be patient and clear as many battles as you can with that monster. Since
capsule monsters don't have MP they are all immune to the 'Absorb' spell.
Note that all 7 monsters have full protection against Poison, Silence,
Paralysis and Sleep. Only the Shadow CM; Darbi has Instant Death protection as
on top of that. The last remark is that the regular attacks of all the
monsters are "Neutral".
Neutral - Jelze
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Foomy Woods, to the south of Alunze
Strong: -
Weakness: -
Protection: All Ailments (not Instant)
This monster is neutral and uses more physical attacks than magic attacks. He
likes using head-butts and punches. Jelze is one of the better capsule
monsters on the lower levels/evolutions, compared to the others on the same
evolution. But in the end he is gained by the others, and it is best to switch
to another capsule monster if possible. His bubble blow attack seems to lower
DFP, that's why it may look so weak. Also Jelze will defend somewhat often,
even on the Master level.

This is my favorite monster. His abilities may be average, but his flame
attacks are unmatched. He tends to leave a battle if he takes to much damage
in the first evolutions, but on level 4 and M it gets a lot better. Actually I
have never seen any Master Capsule Monster run away. His flame attacks are
strong especially his Inferno, Base Damage = 6 * INT and Blaze has a very high
INT so most enemies can't survive it.

Flash uses the element of light and is the weakest in the beginning. He's not
really a fighter but his healing abilities can be very useful, especially in
the Ancient Cave, but then again most of the time he is too slow on the lower
levels to get a turn before the battle is over. Furthermore as visible in the
charts Flash will is very weak on the all Classes except the Master Class,
once he gets to that class he will be just as strong as the others.

Wind - Gusto
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Tower of Sacrifice, to the north of Narcysus
Strong: -
Weakness: Thunder
Protection: All Ailments (not Instant), 'Cancel Out'
Gusto is somehow capable of completely canceling an attack out. I've seen it
happen multiple times. It's very strange but the damage counter sometimes says
MISS, even if you fight very strong enemies. This can be a good advantage and
note that this evasion ability depends the difference between the AGL of Gusto
and the AGL of the enemy who attacks him. E.g. If Gusto's AGL is much higher
than enemy's AGL then chances of evading the attack rises significantly. It
works like this:
If AGL Gusto > AGL Attacker Then ->
Evasion Chance% = (AGL Gusto - AGL Attacker) / AGL Gusto
For example, when Gusto has 300 AGL and its attacker has 200 AGL then (300 -
200) / 300 = 0.33 (approximately). This means that he has 33% chance of
evading the attack, thus canceling it out.
His agility is the best of all the 7 monsters, which means he can evade many
attacks. Actually Artea is the only one who can keep up with Gusto, but
eventually not even he can keep up with Gusto. There is not much to note about
his special attacks other than the Sonic Blast; its power is about 7 * INT
which can be quite devastating in some occasions. One other remark I could
make is that because he is Wind Elemental, and since no enemy in the game is
actually strong to that (except for the gorems) his special attacks will
always deal some nice amounts of damage.

Earth - Sully
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: Flower Mountain, to the south of Treadool
Strong: Hard
Weakness: Thunder
Protection: All Ailments (not Instant)
Sully is physically the strongest and the slowest of all 7 monsters. Not much
MGR as well; as a raddisher on level 99 his MGR is 2. Not to mention his
pathetic AGL. If he evolves, it gets a little better but not too much. He can
however take a lot of damage and he will practically never run, but instead he
will start defending which means he does nothing at all (I guess he's just too
stupid to run away). His special attacks are very strong and his Tackle can
even paralyze an enemy. Did you know that Sully's Perish Punch has a 60%
chance of instantly killing an enemy? Sully is Soil elemental which is NOT
Earth elemental. This means that just like Gusto his attacks will always do
damage, because there are no enemies strong to Soil.

Shadow - Darbi
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Location: On top of small shrine on the Crescent shaped island
Strong: Shadow
Weakness: Light
Protection: All Ailments, 'Cancel Out'
Darbi is strong, but lack of defense and guts means that he's only useful in
one-round battles. His special attacks are a little more subtle; they can also
cause confusion and poison. But if you are lucky he will perform one of his
"instant destruction" type spells: Destruction & Eliminator.
These usually get you at least one kill. His attacks are also effective on
copper/silver/gold dragon, for those are sacred metal creatures. Also Darbi
has the same 'canceling out' abilities as Gusto. This evasion ability depends
on the difference between the AGL of Darbi and the AGL of the enemy who
attacks him.
If AGL Darbi > AGL Attacker Then ->
Evasion Chance% = (AGL Darbi - AGL Attacker) / AGL Darbi
For example, when Gusto has 100 AGL and its attacker has 50 AGL then (100 -
50) / 100 = 0.5. This means that he has 50% chance of evading the attack, thus
canceling it out. Simply put if Darbi's AGL is much higher than enemy's AGL
then chances of evading the attack rises significantly. Unfortunately Darbi is
much slower than Gusto so it will be less effective. Finally because Darbi is
shadow elemental this CM is also fully protected against Instant Death
Attacks.

His magic resistance is very high, but he is a bit slow. Well, I guess that's
about it. His final special attack is called magic freeze and can stop enemies
from using magic spells. He's the last of the seven capsule monsters you can
find in the game.

2. Statistics Comparison
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the statistics of the Capsule monsters on (M)Master; Level 99. The
level-ups may be at random, but the capsule monsters will always end up with
the same statistics. So I was able to make a reliable chart. For the other
classes check the individual description of each Monster in the previous
sections. Also note that Statistics on themselves do not mean that a Capsule
Monster has greater power over another, each Monster has his/her/its own
unique abilities.

3. Feeding Capsule monsters
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------
During Regular Story Mode
-------------------------
This is the fastest (earliest moment in the game) way;
If you have any Magic Fruit it is most effective to feed it to them when they
are on level 3 since that is the hardest level to feed a Capsule Monster.
-Level 2: Feed them daggers.
-Level 3: Apple cider from Sundletan.
-Level 4: Bee Rocks; dropped item from Big Bee found in the Ruby Cave.
Bronze Swords from Bound kingdom's shop will also work.
-Level M: Feed them the following type of fruit on this level, when they say
that they are full; "Not hungry" to reach (M) master level. You can
Also change them back into the previous level with the food in the
last column. Look just BELOW here for the table.
Alternative Feeding method (with thanks to Laura Strange):
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start up a game take a look at the item the CM wants to have and feed it to
him, then use a reset and load the game again. If done correctly the CM will
want that exact same item again. So keep on Feeding / Resetting to make your
Capsule Monster grow a lot faster, because required food always has twice as
much effect.
-----------------------
Inside the Ancient Cave
-----------------------
Here it's a bit harder to tell you what to feed them, because the items you
get are at random. I can give you the following tips:
1. If you have more than one of the same item he likes, give them both/all.
For as long as you keep giving that one item he will always keep on eating
it.
2. Check the options menu sometimes, if there is an item he likes to eat it
will flash when it is in your possession. (Use select in the main menu)
3. If you fed him something really strong he only wants to eat expensive
stuff, so give him the cheapest items like rapiers and chopboards to bring
his appetite to a less expensive menu. (Also see 6.)
4. Sometimes a chest will contain Magic fruit, feed this to the capsule
monster to increase the EAT bar with 8 blocks regardless of his level.
Better stock up to make the evolution from level 3 to 4 a lot easier.
5. To get the monsters to the M level you will need some luck. Some monsters
drop the fruit, so you will have to fight those monsters to receive the
necessary fruit. Look just BELOW here for the table.
6. Lately I noticed that when you feed a Capsule Monster something incredibly
strong you can also bring down the expensiveness of his appetite by feeding
him his regular Fruit. E.g. Give Flash Holy fruit and Zeppy Charm fruit.

c = cursed
u = uncursed
C(xx%)*y = weapon has greater Critical Hit Chance 'xx' and damage it deals
is (regular damage * y) (Critical hits ignore target's DFP!).
St(xx%) = weapon can cause enemy to get Stunned.
Co(xx%) = weapon can cause enemy to get Confused.
Sl(xx%) = weapon can cause enemy to fall into Sleep.
I(xx%) = weapon can cause enemy to die in an Instant.
1 = Weapon has 100% chance of CURING Paralysis (on enemy) when used to attack
(Identical to using Mystery Pin).
2 = Weapon allows you to attack twice in one round.
3 = Attacks allies
4a= Attacks all target at the same time
4b= Attack one or several targets at the same time
5 = Uncurse the Dark mirror and you can't take it into the Ancient Cave
anymore, but only an uncursed mirror gives shadow protection.
6 = Bunny Sword says to have an ATP of 500, but the BASE damage it deals is
always 120. Therefore the sword itself does no damage against stronger
enemies. ATP however is counted for IP attacks resulting in real killer
attacks (When used with 'Triple Strike' and 'Head attack' for example).
7 = Engage ring will cut prices that shopkeepers count in two when worn.
¥ = this is the first set of deadly swords. (Found in the Ancient cave)
£ = this is the second set of deadly swords. (Dropped by deadly sword),
these are called 'Lethal Swords' in the PAL version.

-Note 1: Some PAR codes where used to complete the chart tables for Tia, Dekar

Ancient Cave in a small extra table at the end of each chart.

About the Damage Formulas; the Damage done by Magic Formulas is like:

* = IP cost in % can differ by 1% sometimes. The cause of this is that the
game uses an internal value between 0 and 255 to measure the amount of IP
available. Therefore there may be a difference of 1% due to setting a number
between 0 and 255 on a scale of 0 to 100.
Tar(target) Column
------------------
S = Self
1A = Target 1 Ally
*A = Target 1 to all Allies
aA = Auto Target all Allies (including CM)
1E = Target 1 Enemy
#E = Target first attack; others are random (for multi attacks)
*E = Target 1 to all Enemies
aE = Auto Target all Enemies
T(Type) Column
--------------
M = Magic Attack
P = Physical Attack
Elem.(Elemental) Column
-----------------------
D = Dragon
E = Earth
F = Fire
F!= Flying
H = Hard
I = Ice
L = Light
N = Neutral
S = Shadow
T = Thunder
W = Water
- = non Elemental (e.g. damage/healing is calculated differently)
Extras / Notes Column
---------------------
(D) = IP is dummied out; E.G. there is no Item that has this as IP
'Spell' = IP is the same as the spell between ''
( type ) = Damage of this type is halved
[ type ] = Damage of this type is reflected
{ type } = Damage of this type is cancelled out

Since I've listed the prices in the tables above (all prices are the same in
every town) I won't do that again except for the casinos, because they count
different values. The price of a stay in the hotel in each village is also
listed.

9. Experience Chart Table
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This works very simple; I wrote down the experience points you have when
reached a new level. This is not the EXP required to reach a new level, but
the total amount. The numbers are the same for all allies and all capsule
monsters respectively.
For now the experience chart is incomplete, I will try to update this part as
soon as possible with the missing incomplete levels.

==============================================================================
Appendix C: Defeat the three most difficult bosses
==============================================================================
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Gades - First confrontation, Gordovan west tower
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP: 7500 MP: 320
ATP: 420 DFP: 290
AGL: 184 INT: 192
GUT: 184 MGR: 194
EXP.: 50000 Gold: 50000
Weak: Light
Strong: Shadow
Protection: All Ailments
Special attacks: Destructo-wave
At the top of Gordovan West tower you will find the one responsible for
Gordovan's destruction. After a brief introduction; he just asks your name,
that he tells you that he is Gades and the battle commences...
Preparation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. It's easier to defeat Gades in RETRY mode, because you can level up
easier.
2. The minimum level required to make a winning chance is LV~25. You have
to get up that high, or else Tia and Selan HPs will be depleted after
the first Destructo-wave. Also if you have any life potions give them
to Tia.
3. Make sure your IP for each character is 100%, this will allow you to
perform the most important IP attacks right at the start.
4. The next items and their IPs, are very valuable in the battle itself:
-Holy wings
Found in the chest at Parcelyte castle
IP; restores 50% of maximum HP of all allies
-Camu armor
Found in one of the chests behind Camu
IP; restores 25% of maximum HP of all allies
-Jute helm
Found in the tower west of Tanbel
IP; lowers MGR of Gades
-Eagle rock
Found in Gordovan west tower, dropped by Eagle
IP; double damage
-Fury helmet
Found in the Ruby Cave
IP; lowers DFP of Gades
-Courage
Bought at Clamento's spell shop
Spell; use to increase DFP 20%
-Spido jewel
Rarely dropped by the Tarantula
IP; use to slow down Gades dramatically
-Undead Ring
Found in a chest in Treasure Sword Shrine
All attacks will be Light elemental!
This gives approximately the following setup of equipment and the resulting IP
scheme:
Maxim Guy Tia Selan
------------- ------------- ------------ ------------
Fire dagger Franshiska Aqua Whip Cold rapier
Chainmail Camu armor Holy Wings Tight dress
Anger brace Kite shield Bracelet Bracelet
Brone helmet Fury helmet Red beret Red beret
Speedy ring Undead ring Witch ring Mind ring
Camu jewel Spido jewel Bee rock Water jewel
------------- ------------- ------------ ------------
Blaze attack --- Aqua attack Glacial blast
--- Divine cure Holy healing Reawaken
Battle lust Fleet Ironclad Ironclad
Menace Menace Spellstruck Spellstruck
Fake Perish Deflect Stronger
Buster attack Spider web Immobilize Frost
------------- ------------- ------------ ------------
The Battle
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the battle use the Spido jewels IP: Spiderweb and cast fake on your team to
end up faster than Gades. Now make sure Tia and Selan HPs stay above 200. If
they drop below you should heal immediately! Use the fire dagger's IP to
inflict some real damage on Gades. This is quite a long battle, but it can be
won. When you defeat him in combat you'll automatically receive 'the sword of
Gades'. With the aid of this sword you can perform the octo-strike IP; attack
8x(!) in a row. And best of all: You can take the Gades' blade into the
ancient cave! But be warned: Without the undead ring the blade will be useless
against undead creatures.
Alternative Tactic
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This new tactic by Bahamut makes it easier to defeat Gades and best of all you
don't need to spend hours to level up:
"Before I started the fight, I equipped Selan with the mind ring. Then in-
battle, have Maxim and Tia cast the courage spell on Selan and Guy to raise
their defense points. When Maxim or Tia die, don't revive them. Only revive
Selan or Guy. Keep casting stronger (The IP of the mind ring) with Selan (only
on Guy and Selan, don't heal Tia or Maxim), or if you don't have enough IP
strong. It is important that you keep Selan alive. If guy can raise his attack
points with IP (I could, but I can't remember the name of the item) do it the
first few turns. Then, When Tia and Maxim are dead, attack him. Keep on
casting stronger with Selan and attack with Guy. It will take 'bout half hour
to finish him off."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. The Master Jelly, Ancient Cave B99
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP: 9980 MP: 0
ATP: 10 DFP: 1
AGL: 510 INT: 2
GUT: 2 MGR: 2
EXP.: 1 Gold: 1
Weak: -
Strong: -
Protection: All Ailments
Special attacks: -, He doesn't "attack" you at all.
The Master is located at the bottom of the ancient cave that is, B99. If you
walk up to his platform you will see a normal red jelly appear. If you choose
to fight him, you will find out that his is a lot bigger (and his pixels are
very huge), than you first imagined. He doesn't attack you, but you have to
defeat him in three rounds (his AGL is over 500; you won't get an hit in round
4). This makes him quite a jinx especially the first time, when you're not
aware of this. So don't cast any stat increasing spells except Trick and use
it only once in the first round. For the rest keep attacking him with your
strongest attacks, alternatively you can use the strategy listed under A.
which will give you a Victory a whole lot easier.
-----------------
A. Cheap Strategy
-----------------
This Tactic by ArchmageMagus, has made him the easiest boss in the entire
game; Simply annihilate your own party, while battling him!! This may sound
weird, but when you are defeated the jelly the game thinks you actually beat
him. So, the Jelly will give you the key to the ancient cave. Take note that
you should strip all your armor of all your characters off, this will make it
easier to kill your own party members.
---------------------
B. Realistic Strategy
---------------------
Which Party?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In STORY mode you can best use the combination of: Maxim, Selan, Guy and
Dekar. For Dekar's massive physical power is very handy to defeat the slime in
three rounds, unfortunately his low AGL does make it harder to have him fight
through the cave itself. Also with well equipped people and a powerful Capsule
Monster (my preference Blaze on Master Class), Maxim, Selan, Guy and Artea
will give very good results as well. So I recommend to clear the cave before
you reach the shrine in Karlloon.
In GIFT mode a team consisting of Maxim, Arty, Guy and Dekar is the best in
my opinion. Although the standard party of Maxim, Selan, Guy and Artea works
well, since you will then have an all round party, with fighters of all mixed
party with all different types.
Preparation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. First you need to be completely equipped with blue chest items for every
character in order to survive the cave itself.
2. It's advised to "harvest" creatures. I will explain harvesting later on (in
description of Appendix D: the ancient cave). This way it's possible for you
to level up to the 90's, making you stronger for the battle.
3. There is luck involved getting to the Master, since the cave is randomly
made up. I once got to B94 and got stuck in a very small corridor with 2 gold
dragons guarding the stairs. It was impossible to continue on. So I had to
restart after playing over 6 hours to get that far. AAAAAAARRRGH!!!!!!!!!
4. Use Flash on level 2; there is a huge chance he will use "Wink" increasing
the ATP of one person with 40%, giving you some extra strength. That is twice
more effective than casting "trick". On the other hand you could stay with
your current monster. If lucky he/she will do one of their most devastating
specialties.
5. Here are some items you can find in the cave that cause a lot of damage on
the master:
-Dekar blade
Found in red chest
IP(100%) - Fatal blow, divides current HP of the master in two.
-Myth blade
Found in red chest
IP(76%) - Battle fury, decreases current HP of the master with 1/4.
-Old sword
Found in red chest or dropped by Leech
IP(51%) - Battle cry, decreases current HP of the master with 1/6.
-Deadly sword + Curselifter (Need the Uncursed version)
Both found in red chests
IP(51%) - Battlecry, decreases current HP of the master with 1/6.
(NOT the deadly sword dropped by deadly sword, the other one)
-Deadly rod + Curselifter (Need the Uncursed version)
Both found in red chests
IP (26%) - Devastation, decreases current HP of the master with 1/8.
-Gorgon rock
Dropped Item of the Gorgon
IP(65%) - Ax attack, decreases current HP of the master with 1/6.
-Gades' blade
Found in blue chest / Receive for beating Gades in Gordovan Tower
IP (100%) - Octo-strike, attack 8x in a row.
-Trick (with or without Trick Ring)
Found in a red chest
Spell; Increases ATP
-Hidora rock
Dropped by a High hidora or Sea hidora
IP (77%) - Triple attack, attack 3x in a row.
-Cancer Rock
Dropped by a Cancer or Garbost
IP (38%) - Scissor Slash, attack 2x in a row.
(Combine with Battlecry / Devastation; it uses only 34%)
-Any powerful weapon that has a '3x damage' IP attack; does over 1000 damage.
IP (65%) - Ex: Dragon Rush, Holy Energy, Glacial Blast, Deadly Smash
-Spido jewel
IP (25%) - Spiderweb, lower AGL by 40%. Casting this three times in a row
will lower the Jelly's AGL to 153. With some decent equipment/levels netting
you a fourth round against the Jelly.
The Battle
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's best to use the attacks in this order (if available):
1. Cast trick
2. Fatal blow
3. Battle fury
4. Ax attack / Battle cry
5. Devastation
6. Octo-strike / Triple attack / Scissor Slash / '3x Damage' attack
If you use the attacks in this order you can cause maximum damage against the
Jelly. Mathematically it shouldn't make any difference in which order you use
the 'dividers', but strangely enough a higher ATP does make those attacks more
effective. So I am staying with the current order.
After his defeat, you will receive the ancient key and ancient Jelly (You
can't find the jelly in your inventory, but when you talk to the lady near the
display of the iris treasures, she will give the jelly a place as well). With
the Ancient Key, you can open the locked door to the right of the exit. You
can collect: Brill helm, Dragon ring, Light jewel. These are all very
powerful items and worth all the hard effort, on the other hand now that you
have (nearly) all blue chest items these items may seem somewhat weak.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Egg Dragon, Dragon shrine next to Pico
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HP: 65535 MP: 2000
ATP: 1500 DFP: 500
AGL: 510 INT: 400
GUT: 100 MGR: 510
EXP.: 60000 Gold: 60000
Weak: Shadow, Flying, Dragon (and Healing; see Cheap strategy)
Strong: Fire, Water, Light, Ice, Thunder, Earth
Protection: All Ailments
Special attacks: Sunny-side up, Over-easy, Scrambled eggs, Zap
Some major preparation is needed to take on the strongest enemy of the game,
unless you use the cheap strategy described under A. However first you have to
collect 4x 8 eggs to challenge him. I suggest you take 1x the old shield and
3x the 10 potions, but that is just my opinion.
-----------------
A. Cheap Strategy
-----------------
Due to a glitch the Egg Dragon is actually the easiest enemy to beat in the
game. Because he has the maximum amount of HP that is possible due to the
games' programming limitations (2^16), you can force the game into a glitch
resetting his HP at 0 again. This happens if his HP is full and you try to
heal him with something incredibly weak like a Charret Newt. Doing this will
create an overflow on the HP counter of the Dragon causing him to have 4 HP!
This way you can beat the dragon with one hit. Take note that this only works
if Eggy's HP is completely filled! Easy Experience and Gold indeed.
---------------------
B. Realistic Strategy
---------------------
Preparation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.Everybody needs high levels ( Recommended if you want to survive his
'Scrambled Eggs' attack. )
2.Your Capsule Monster doesn't need training since it will only take a few
strikes before he is gone, so don't bother about them for this battle.
3.Buy some important items like; shriek, awake and mystery pin, you'll need
them.
4.Since it is very hard to get your speed up past the AGL level of the
dragon, (his AGL = 512) you might as well concentrate your statistics on
increasing ATP, DFP and MGR.
5.The Egg dragon is almost immune to magic attacks so use swords all the time.
6.Be careful; the egg dragon has an HP over 60000 meaning this will be a very
long battle.
7.Use Champion, Valor or an other healing spell every round.
8.These items are very valuable in a fight against the egg dragon:
-Dragon blade
Bought in casino for a "mere" 500000 coins
IP(88%) - Dragon Fire is effective on Dragons
-Lizard blow
One of four rewards for solving "world's most difficult trick"
IP(65%) - Dragon Rush; Attack with 'Dragon' 3x Damage
The blade regular attack is effective to 'dragon' type enemies
-Dragon ring
Found in the treasure room in the main room of the Ancient Cave
Makes all Neutral attacks "effective to Dragons".
-Flame shield
Find in blue chest in the Ancient Cave
Protection against the flame attacks of the Egg Dragon.
-Old sword
Dropped item of Leech
IP(51%) - Battlecry, decreases HP of the dragon with a 1/6.
-Evil jewel (cursed)
Found in Shrine of Vengeance / Dropped by Fiend
Fills you with strength; ATP +120.
-Some armor with restoring powers: Zircon Plate, Ruse armor and Old Armor.
-Bunny sword
Bought at Casino
IP(76%) - 'Battle fury', decreases HP of the dragon by a 1/4.
However note that the sword itself is useless, since it can't do any
damage against strong enemies.
-Flying Ax
Found in a chest at Flower Mountain
The Ax itself is effective against flying.
IP(64%) - Deadly Smash; does 3x damage and is effective against
flying enemies. Since Egg Dragon is a flying enemy the damage is
multiplied by two. This gives a total of damage x6!
-Gold Gloves / Gold Shield
IP - flame guard; helps protect against Eggy's attacks if you don't
happen to have the any flame shields.
-Pearl brace / Flame Shield
Just wearing them grants you half damage against flame attacks.
-Spido jewel
IP - spiderweb; lowers agility by 40%. This combined with "Fake" should
allow most characters to act before Eggdragon can within a turn.
The battle
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first round use Trick, Courage, and a Healing spell, then Guy must
Be the first one to land a hit on the dragon with the use Old sword's IP:
Battle cry. WHAM!!! 10,922 HP gone (The game only displays up to 9,999 Damage
though) in one blow; about 55,000 to go.
Or have Guy use the Flying Ax's: Deadly Smash, which will do some real
serious damage on the Egg dragon and it is also better on the long run when
the dragon's HP get lower, because this attack remain strong unlike Battle Cry
which gets weaker as soon as the HP of the Dragon drops.
For the rest of the battle use Dragonfire, Dragon rush, Deadly Smash and
Battle cry IP's to reduce his health real fast. Cure any diseases,
abnormalities and use "Champion / Valor" healing spells to survive this fierce
battle. You can also use the IP attacks of the fire shields / helmets; it will
increase you protection against his attacks dramatically. Or use a helmet that
has an ATP decreasing IP attack, like the Crysto Helm or Crysto ribbon. The
dragon has a very high number of Attack Power so the last two will be very
effective.
If you defeat him you will receive the Egg blade and the Egg ring. The Egg
blade has an ATP of 0, but its IP is "Hard boiled" and can do anything to an
enemy; make him slow down, stun, fall a sleep or even instantly kill him. Best
of all it costs a mere 3% IP! It is advised to use the blade in combination
with the ring, because of the ATP of 0. The ring increases all stats with 999,
GUT however only increases to 199. The ring doesn't have an IP on itself, but
it's good enough on its own.
==============================================================================
Appendix D: The Ancient Cave
==============================================================================
This is the biggest dungeon I've ever encountered; it took me almost 70 hours
to finish the first time with all possible blue chest items. It's located just
above Gruberik and it has 99 (randomly made up) levels, filled with great
treasures and terrible monsters. You will start on level 1 and you receive 10
potions. Now work your way to the bottom and collect as many blue chests as
possible. For they contain some very strong weapons and armor. Here are some
tips.
Overworld Items
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can find the following blue chest items on the upper world as well:
Item How to get
-------------- -------------------------------------
Catfish jwl. Item dropped by Big Catfish
Camu Rock Item dropped by Camu
Spido Jewel Item dropped by Tarantula
Gades Blade Beat Gades - The first Confrontation (Gordovan West Tower)
Water Jewel Find in chest Alunze Basement
Earth Jewel Item dropped by Tartona
Twist Jewel Item dropped by Brinz Lizard
Gloom Jewel Item dropped by Shadow
Thundojewel Item dropped by Thunderbeast
Preserve some slots
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before you decide to go into the Ancient Cave, make sure to SELL every
useless/crappy item you've got. Leave only the items that you normally can't
buy (e.g. Undead ring). Because when you come back from the AC all the Blue
Chest items you've got will be added to your inventory. However, if your
inventory is full a menu will appear allowing you to discard some existing
item in order to get the new ones from the AC. The worst that can happen to
you is if you accidentally press the B button and cancel this process. You
lose all the new items you gathered in the cave!
Important word on combining elemental attacks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Some combinations of the elemental weaknesses do not always work, especially
if you are wearing a Sea / Undead / Dragon Ring. If you have been wondering
why the Lizard Blow or the Flying Blow do so little damage on enemies that are
weak to it may well be because you are wearing the ring on that particular
Character. The above mentioned rings turn all physical attack into the
corresponding element and the following elements/types can NOT be combined for
combo attacks:
Hard
Flying
Dragon
Sea
Insect
This means that these attacks will only be effective if used on its own. So if
you combine for instance:
Weapon Ring Damage Reason
------- ------ ------- ----------------------------------------
Water + - = Water Seems logical
Hard + - = Hard Seems logical
Neutral + Dragon = Dragon Neutral is the only combinable type
Neutral + Sea = Sea Neutral is the only combinable type
Fire + Light = Fire & Light These Elements can be combined
Thunder + Dragon = Thunder Dragon won't have effect
Flying + Sea = Neutral Flying & Sea cancel each other out
Light + Light = Light No effect can be doubled
Shadow + Light = Shd. & Light Yes, opposite elements can be combined*
Dragon + Dragon = Dragon No effect can be doubled
Insect + Light = Light Insect is cancelled out by Light
* = Most monsters however are strong to the opposite element that they are
weak to so the effects are 'usually' cancelled out.
Therefore I recommend that you unequip the Sea Ring if you are going to fight
to use Weapons / Attacks with the Elemental properties from the list above,
unless the element corresponds with the kind of attack you need.
A final note that I would like to add is that IP attacks are also affected by
the Rings too. The Gades Blade IP: 'Octostrike' is Light Elemental if you use
the Undead Ring as well.
The Pros and Cons of the Sea Ring
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As mentioned above the Sea ring blocks the use of some attack types which can
be bad, but something that is even more frustrating is that the Sea Elemental
property is NOT used by any enemy at all. Therefore there is no enemy weak to
this ring. On the other hand there is however a small advantage this ring may
provide; if you have a Neutral weapon and this ring equipped and use it
against an enemy that is strong against Neutral the Sea Ring will actually
make you do more damage against that enemy. Simply put, your attack will be
Sea elemental instead of Neutral. Some examples of enemies who are strong
against Neutral:
Archfiend Fiend
Black Dragon Gargoyle
Deadly Armor Ninja
Deadly Sword Ramia
Demise Shadow
Patience is a good virtue
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first couple of times you play, you will be unable to get to B99, so
collect as many blue chests as possible and use providence. Repeat this
process until you are fully equipped.
Training
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Try to keep your level as close as possible to the dungeon level. This can be
done until your reach B20's by simply killing all enemies. After that you need
to "harvest" to get enough EXP to keep up with the dungeon level. Take note
that after a short while you require more and more EXP to level up, which
means that harvesting is only useful if you wish to gain up with the Dungeon
Level.
Conserve magic
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Only use magic if you really need to, because Magic-restoring items are not so
common in the cave. Unless you're lucky enough to find the "Absorb" spell, if
a Red Bat or a Vampire drops a Bat Rock that may also help you out.
Overload
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes you will come to a room filled with monsters, if this is so it will
also mean that the room is filled with chests too. Beat all the monsters and
collect all the items from the chests.
Party choices
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best way to reach B99 and beat the Master jelly in STORY mode is using a
party consisting of: Maxim, Selan, Guy and Dekar. In the rest of this
walkthrough I will use this party. You may want to switch Selan/Guy for Arty,
but you can only do that in GIFT mode. On the other hand a party consisting of
Maxim, Selan, Guy and Artea is the best balanced party for taking on the Cave
itself.
After doing some experimenting lately I came to the conclusion a party
consisting of Maxim, Selan, Artea and EITHER Guy/Dekar is the best. For having
both the muscle men in the party only slows you down more than it helps. Yes,
they have huge amounts of ATP, but the weak Agility makes you an easy prey to
enemy attacks. Then there is also their inability to use magic. Lastly having
the party I mentioned just ago allows you to use all different elemental type
blue chest weapons.
Keep your eyes peeled
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cut all strange looking grass patches to reveal a red colored HP healing pad.
They are quite useful if you need to recharge energy. There also seems to
appear a blue MP healing tile. I've never encountered one myself, but it might
be possible that it exists.
No secrets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are no hidden passageways, so it's not necessary to cut the vines on the
walls. Though I have heard that you can walk through some of the walls into
the black void, but I was never able to confirm this.
Keep your eyes peeled II
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watch the patterns enemies walk, so you can avoid them, or attack them in the
back which will give you an extra round; "got in first". Be aware that you can
be attacked in the back as well.
Decoy Mimics Chests
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watch out for the mimic chests that can be found in the dungeon, the red ones
are mobile and will attack you if you come too close. Blue ones can be found
in the lower 20's, they aren't mobile but they are quite tough to defeat. You
can recognize mimics by their looks, if you watch carefully you will note that
the colors of a mimic box are a little lighter than that of a regular chest.
Disposing of weak equipment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feed the weak equipment to your Capsule Monsters, this is better than just
throwing it away. (Check the Capsule Monster section for more feeding info)
The Only Exit
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From level 21 and onwards you will find Providence. The chance percentage for
finding the providence increases with every descended floor, until ~B60
where you're guaranteed to find it.
However, if you drop/lose/feed this one Providence you won't get another one.
Fight the Ancient Jelly at the bottom of the cave and he gives you a second
Providence if you lost the first one (regardless of winning). Lose this one
too, and you deserve to stay in hell forever.
Special Monsters
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a list of monsters that exist only in the Ancient cave. Most of these
are super strong and can be very lethal if you don't take these guys
seriously.
Archfiend Copper dragon Silver dragon Gold dragon
Earth genie Well genie Wind genie Flame genie
Ice rogue Orky Hades Dark sum'ner
Great coca Blue mimic Ghost ship
Special items
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are items in some of the red chests that can only be found in the
ancient cave, these items are listed in the chart tables in Appendix B. Some
of them like the "Myth blade" (a very strong Sword) and the "Flying Blow"
(regular attack is effective on Flying Creatures) are great to use.
The Instant Killing Weapons
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Like mentioned above there are several red chest items in the Ancient Cave
that cannot be found elsewhere in Lufia. A few of these weapons are cursed,
have 0 ATP, but they can kill almost any NON undead monster in an instant with
a success rate of 80%, if you uncurse these however they will be hardly worth
the effort since their killing abilities are much less. Using the Instant
weapons makes it very easy for you to navigate through the cave; Taking on
Silver/Gold dragons and Archfiends will become much, MUCH easier.
I do recommend to only use the Fatal Pick or the Deadly Rod since Tia, Selan
and Artea are good at using Magic as an alternative if you are dealing with an
undead. If you get the others guys hooked up with an Instant-like weapon such
as the Deadly Sword those characters will be completely useless when you fight
against an undead Creature. On the other hand the Deadly sword does get the
"Battle Cry" IP after it is uncursed, which makes it useful against the Master
Jelly. You can see in Appendix D which monsters are immune (and which not) to
Instant attacks.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* = There is no Blue chest armor Artea/Lexis can wear.
Changing weapons
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Don't be too lazy to switch weapons when meeting enemies of a different
element. You should know that almost all blue chest items have a connection to
one of the elements. For example: Use flame shields and water spears if you
fight against pugs, if you equip Selan with cryst shield and Boom turban she
will be practically immune to any attack of the Silver dragon! (Hint!)
Killers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Watch out for Asashins and Ninjas; You will meet them in the lower 30's and
50's. These killers move very fast in the dungeon towards you. They have a
high number of AGL (170), plus they have an attack that has an instant kill
success rate of 80%: Terminal blow. Ninja's are slower, but can still be
dangerous. They have an Instant Attack too: Guillotine. Its success rate is
60%, which can be quite lethal.
Info by Rubyheart on Ninjas and Asashins:
"Sometime, Ninjas get stuck against a door if they move horizontally. I
talk about the bottom side of any rooms. Swing your sword inside of the door
and make them come." (When you attack them like this you can get "got in
first" occasionally.)
Healing power can be an offensive spell
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ghostships can be easily defeated by using either fire power, or a healing
spell. This also works on many other undead creatures check Appendix F; under
"Heal enemies to death" for details.
The many attacks of Orky
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Orkys are weak against the thunder element. They have an HP over 2700, and
will attack 8(!) times in a row. This may seem very devastating but their ATP
is low meaning that you can cancel their attacks out, when you are well
equipped or after you cast Courage / Bravery on your entire party.
The Devil himself
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Archfiends are also very tuff. They look like the fiend from earlier on in
the dungeon, but these guys are even harder. Their AGL is 165 and to make it
even worse; you can't attack them in the back meaning that you usually have to
wait for the Archfiend's attacks. Their HP is no joke either: over 1500.
The Holy and Sacred Dragons
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bronze and Silver dragons, can be defeated when you are equipped right. The
best weapons to use are Neutral/Shadow weapons like the Gades' Blade. Put Guy
and Dekar up in front with Gades' blades and they should do near 600 damage
for each attack against those dragons. Copper dragons seem to be less affected
by Shadow, that is probably because Copper isn't as holy as Silver and Gold.
Actually, after looking inside the ROM Relnqshd and I found out that there is
a glitch in the script of the Copper Dragon, which means it doesn't have ANY
protection at all (See the Glitches section for more details). When the Gades
blade is not available use any Neutral, Dragon or Flying types. You can also
try the Perish and Destroy spells, especially 'Destroy' has a reasonable
success rate on these guys. Protect your characters by equipping Crysto
Shields, Crysto helms, Water Gaunts, Boom Turbans and Apron Shields.
If your AGL is below 150 try to avoid the Gold dragons, these guys are almost
impossible to defeat if they throw 'Stardust blow' on you when your party is
weak. You will gain over 25000 EXP for each defeated Gold dragon however. You
can try to take these guys on if you want, but mind you that Light and Thunder
doesn't affect them at all. Also equip Apron shield on everyone to protect all
characters against most of their attacks.
-NEW TACTIC: BEAT THE DRAGONS, ARCHFIENDS AND OTHERS WITHOUT TOO MUCH EFFORT
--- This info was contributed by 9inchNEL. ---
"I've found a very easy way to do them in: simply equip one of your party
members with the Fatal Pick. It's amazing how often it works (It works 80% of
the time) and it kills practically every monster in the Ancient Cave in a
single blow, including the extra tough dragons! It only fails to work against
the undead monsters (Skeleton, Hades, the Ghost Ship, Leech and many others)."
Harvesting Techniques
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start a battle against enemies who can call companions. Now the idea is to
kill all but one or two of those enemies, wait for them to call companions and
kill those. Wait again from them to call companions and repeat the process to
gain levels very fast. Using this method is making it possible for you to get
your EXP. level closer to the dungeon floor you currently are.
You can try to harvest the following enemies (and some others too), however
take note that after a certain level it is no longer worth it to fight against
those enemies, because the required amount Experience will be too big to get a
level up. So I included a maximum level for each strategy to make clear that
it is not useful to keep on training after you surpass that level.
-------------------------
Necromancers on level B25
-------------------------
Necromancer;EXP: 982, HP: 272, AGL: 54 MP: 103
Calls 2x:
Skeleton; EXP: 150, HP: 112, AGL: 20
Ghoul; EXP: 168, HP: 93, AGL: 20
Zombie; EXP: 290, HP: 148, AGL: 48
Specter; EXP: 595, HP: 162, AGL: 100
Estimation: Less Than 100,000 EXP per hour. (Which sucks)
Maximum level: 15 (it's hardly worth the trouble)
-Best way to harvest them: Equip Blaze, Sizzle, and Fry swords. Most of
creatures here are very slow you will have the first attack all the time. If
possible use Absorb to bring his MP to 0 this way he can't cast perish. Start
by attacking them in the back and killing all but 1 necromancer. Now wait for
him to call 2 companions. Now try to attack with Guy and Dekar, if can't do
that use Selan and Maxim. Cast trick to make life a little easier.(if you
found it) They are easy to harvest, but you don't get much EXP from them.
----------------
Pugs on level 30
----------------
Pug; EXP: 592, HP: 182, AGL: 64
Calls: pug
Estimation: 200,000 EXP per hour. (Still not much)
Maximum level: 25
-Best way to harvest them: Equip Dragon / Water spears or Snow Swords on Selan
and Arty. Use Flame shields to get better protection against the attacks of
the Pugs. In combat cast Brave/courage to get an even better protection.
(Incendiary is counted as a physical attack) Let two Pugs live since there is
enough room for four Pugs in total, meaning that both pugs can summon
companions. This will enable you to kill two pugs in one round.
-------------------
Wizards on level 50
-------------------
Wizard; EXP: 2420, HP: 415, AGL: 78, MP: 365
Calls 2x:
Nosferato; EXP: 2455, HP: 614, AGL: 84
Demise; EXP: 2458, HP: 402, AGL: 82
Hades skull;EXP: 2389, HP: 362, AGL: 70
Jurahan; EXP: 780, HP: 205, AGL: 42
Estimation: 1,000,000 EXP per hour.
Maximum level: 50
-Best way to harvest them: Equip Blaze sword on Selan and Fry swords on Guy
and Dekar (If you don't have those weapons don't bother, because light weapons
are the only type that can do enough damage).
Start with an attack in the rear so you can take out all but one wizard. If
you have the "Absorb" spell use it on the lone wizard, so he can't cast perish
anymore; you must drain 365 magic points in total (Alternatively use the Bat
Rock's IP if you have it, or have everybody equipped with Instant protection
armors if that is possible). Make sure you're AGL is above 80 at all time, so
equip Twist Jewels / Black Eyes if needed and cast Fake & Trick on Selan, Guy
and Dekar.
Use Selan only if Dekar or a second fry sword isn't available, or if you are
sure that she has enough ATP to do at least 800 - 900 damage on a regular
basis. I say this because fluctuations in damage may leave an open spot for a
Nosferato to survive the attack. In my opinion Wizards are the best way of
gaining EXP fast, for all the enemies can be taken down in one single hit.
Boosting your level easily past level 50, after this you may as well stop the
battle since it will no longer be worth the long and tedious effort.
------------------------
Dark sum'ner on level 80
------------------------
Dark sum'ner; EXP: 4897, HP: 540, AGL: 300! MP: 320
Calls:
Hade Chariot; EXP: 4401, HP: 710, AGL: 84
Hades; EXP: 9254, HP: 1790, AGL: 156
Leech; EXP: 6388, HP: 542, AGL: 220
Estimation: If you can kill them all in one hit; LV 98 in less than 2 hours,
but don't count on surviving a battle against a Dark sum'ner that long.
Maximum level: ?? (I guess 98, since it takes 1000000+ EXP to reach 99)
-"Stay away of the summoner...", because they are very fast and their attacks
are hazardous to your health. The best way to harvest them: Almost the same as
with the wizard. But be careful, Dark sum'ners are most of the time too fast
to keep up with, meaning that they will attack first. This makes it very hard
to harvest, especially if he summons Hades. You will need to attack with at
least two people, if the sum'ner chooses him. As you can see at the small
chart above; they drop loads of EXP, but surviving against them is very hard.
I have heard that it's possible to harvest them safely, but you need to get
ATP/DFP/AGL boosting spells going for at least the first four rounds to reach
decent statistics.
==============================================================================
Appendix E: Monster list
==============================================================================
-The monsters are sorted alphabetically by name in this type of chart. Bosses
have a separate list at the bottom.
-I don't list items, which you don't get inside the battle like the Gades
blade, the ancient key...
-PRO% -> Probability means a chance to get the item along with EXP and Gold.
This is expressed in percentages as off this latest version.
-I don't know the meaning of the levels and Lv.90 for Silver Dragon is not my
mistake. The game says so.
-Weakness simply means that when you use a spell or weapon with that kind of
power it will do about double damage. Unfortunately some enemies don't have a
weakness. An enemy can also be strong against certain elementals too. In some
cases like the "Gold Dragon" completely immune to several types of attacks,
meaning that you will always cause a MISS with that kind of attack. So be
aware when you are fighting a strong enemy. The format is like this example
below:
Fire = Weak against 'Fire' Attacks (Damage is multiplied by 2)
(Shadow) = Strong against 'Shadow' Attacks (Damage is divided by 2)
{Light} = Immune to 'Light' Attacks (Damage is 0 = "MISS")
-By using some PAR codes I was able to fight the King Hidora, it is identical
to a High Hidora only he has a golden color and some different attacks.
-Some enemies have what is called the 'Protection Pack', this means they are
completely immune to all possible ailments. If an enemy has this pack, it
will say 'Ailment Protected' at the bottom line. Here's the list with the
ailments:
Poison
Silence
Paralysis
Confusion
Sleep
Instant Death
-Some enemies have protection against all ailments except for Instant Death.
This is noted by 'Ailment (not Instant) Protected'
-If only one or more ailments are included it will say for example if an enemy
is protected against silence: 'Silence Protected'
-DMG / 10 means that physical damage is divided by 10. This property is only
used for the Cores. This gives them a very strong protection against regular
attacks. However due to bad implementation of the code, the monsters with
this protection are incredibly weak against magic.
-Some enemies can cause ailments with their regular attacks. This is noted by
'ailment here'(xx%) in the physical row. xx% is the chance the ailment has of
affecting your characters.
-Enemies can use elements in their regular attacks too, for example: Dragonian
uses a fire based standard attack. So this is noted by: 'Fire' in the
Physical Attacks row.
-The following elements/types can NOT be combined for combo attacks:
Hard
Flying
Dragon
Sea
Insect
This means that these attacks will only be effective if used on its own. So
if you combine for instance 'Light' with 'Hard' only Light will have effect.
Take note that combining (for example) 'Flying' with 'Hard' gives you nothing
since they cancel each other out. That's why some weaknesses do not always
work, especially in the Ancient Cave if you are wearing a Sea Ring.
-'Heal' means that an enemy can be healed to death, if this is the case the
enemy automatically will have full protection against Instant Death.
-Wind, Soil, Earth and Sea aren't used at all. That is why the Sea Ring has no
additional effect on Sea Monsters. Also Wind and Soil are the elements of the
corresponding Capsule Monsters Gusto and Sully. Take note that a Flying enemy
is automatically immune to Earth.
-(AC) behind location means that this particular monster appears in the
Ancient Cave.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==============================================================================
Appendix F: Extra
==============================================================================
In this section are some secrets or errors explained that are hidden in the
game. Most of the things listed here are small glitches or Easter eggs that
are in this game.
==============================================================================
Bugs
==============================================================================
Northern labyrinth "Bomb puzzle" bug
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bomb puzzle in this dungeon is bugged, because when you ignite bombs 2, 3,
4 and 5 (look at the picture up in the walkthrough) in this order at the same
time my game always seems to crash. The platform to the left keeps rising
through the ceiling, and you won't be able to move. Fortunately, it seems that
after ~5 minutes the platform will reappear allowing you to continue.
Still the best way to prevent this is to wait for each bomb to explode, and
then placing the next.
Using Statue in Sub-menu freezes game
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes when you use a statue in the sub-screen (bought at the mini-casino
in Alunze) your game may freeze for some unexplained reason. It also seems to
be that the music will speed up, for the rest there is not much known about
this bug. Relnqshd has made a patch to fix this problem (see the site link at
the bottom of the FAQ), alternatively don't use a statue in the sub-screen
menu.
==============================================================================
Glitches
==============================================================================
The green stone, not blue!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you get the stone of the Princess Jerit there is a textual inconsistency,
right after you meet Amon the first time. They talk about the 'Blue stone' but
the stone in fact is green not blue. The sapphire that the prince later gives
to the princess is blue.
100 Hours of playtime is nothing
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you manage to get your save file over 100 hours of playing time (which is
easily possible if you're an AC spelunker). The counter will reset after
passing the 99:59 mark back to 00:00.
Where did that dropped item came from?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you're fighting enemies who can drop jewels and you already have some of
the jewels, the game sometimes doesn't show the dropped item. For instance:
Say you have 4 Bee rocks, and you're fighting lots of Big Bees. Keep fighting
them and sometimes the game engine will not show the "Got Bee rock" message.
You'll notice this when you check your items. You may have more Bee rocks than
expected.
The game just sometimes tends to 'forget' to tell you the item was dropped. So
far this has only been seen with items that are already present in the
inventory rather than new drops.
Even at maximum HP Maxim dies after saving
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you save the game when the HP of _all_ your party members is greater than
999, then the saved game gets corrupted. And when you Load the saved game, the
first party member (usually Maxim) will be dead and sometimes he will have
more MP than his MAX MP. This has been reported on the German version. I
haven't tested it on the others, though...
Level 0 - Near invincibility, but ultra slow
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many people have heard and/or somehow have been acquainted with this glitch.
What it does is simple. Due to some very strange programming bug, where you
least expect it the game screws up and turns your level 0.
What happens internally is that all the stats get boosted to real exorbitant
values, which grant any of the characters in your party a permanent boost.
However, the downside is that each time you try to load a game with level 0
glitched characters the time the game needs to start is incredibly long.
The glitch is caused by moving the cursor around in the 'Sound' under
'Config' in the main menu. For some reason changing the option several time
causes this glitch. Notice that it only works on the US version of the game.
Ancient Cave "Stairway Restart"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This happened to me when I was playing in the Ancient cave one time. I walked
towards a stairway on B94 and a dragon made contact with me the moment I
touched the stairs so I had to fight 2 gold dragons!!! I didn't expect the
attack so I lost the battle. Normally you will be transported back to the
entrance when you party dies, but because I was standing on the stairway the
computer has reset my entire configuration (items were all gone, level back to
1, etc.) and let me pass to the next basement level (B95)!! I had to use
reset-button at this point for the simple reason that without any equipment
and on being on level 1 versus those pesky Copper/Silver/Gold dragons doesn't
work out very well, don't you think?
Textual Glitches
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The translators have probably made some mistakes while converting this game to
English, like some of the names are glitched sometimes:
-Gratze
Also known as Grassei and '3y kingdom
-Parcelyte
Also known as Percelyte
-Karlloon
Also known as Caron
-Zeppy's Underwater Cave
Also known as: 'Ue MoV T Cave' (Weird huh)
-Minataurus
This is simply "Minotaurus" spelled a little differently.
-Asashin
The translators misspelled Assassin for some reason.
-Henohman (AUS only)
In the PAL version of the game the translators managed to fix some of
the glitches in the game, so to prevent an ambiguity with the two different
Follower enemies they decided to call one of the a "Henchman". Alas due to a
silly typing error the Australians and people in Great Brittain are stuck
with Henohman instead.
-Description of the "Iron Kick" IP
The description isn't there, it's just an empty space. I guess the
translators have forgotten about it.
-After defeating the Egg Dragon:
"Gets the Egg Sword and Egg Rings."
Rings? You only get 1 Egg Ring and nothing more.
For some other mistranslations check the "Japanese vs. US/AUS/EUR" section
below.
"Walking on thin air"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the shrine of Daos it is possible to walk on thin air. Walk up to the room
where you meet Erim, and walk around the sides. (With the three chests) In the
top right corner of this room you can walk over the edge to the middle filled
with air. You can do this on two sections of the edge in this room. This trick
also works on some of the edges in the part where you have to destroy the 3
mystical stones.
The black void of the Ancient Cave
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This has been noticed by several people and AC expert Squeeealer also made a
video about this on youtube (
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ylto-VwLAoM).
Usually, when this happens there's a room where you can walk through the wall.
But if you find it don't do it, because you can get stuck in the void, meaning
that you must reset or use 'Providence' to get out.
Staying in Inn for free
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you don't have enough money to stay at an inn the innkeeper will let you
stay for free.
Strange level up
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of a battle you usually see a list of what you gained. By pressing
'A' you usually see the next line, but if you press a lot of buttons
simultaneously while pressing 'A' to scroll down the list you will note that
it will look very strange. The letters get mixed up, some letters turn into
strange characters and colors will change and so on. Very odd indeed...
More than 164 chests
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the end of the game after 'The End' you will see you statistics screen;
Here it says that the maximum amount of chests you can open is 164, but if you
followed my walkthrough you have opened 171 chests. This is caused because the
game doesn't count the 8 Dragon Eggs as chests. It turns out to be that I
forgot to count the 1 Dragon egg you get from the girl in Merix. So that the
total does sum up to 164 after all!
99 eggs brought
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the chart table at the end of the game you will see the "Eggs brought"
stat. This doesn't indicate the number of eggs brought to the Egg dragon, but
the level Maim has when beating Eggy in combat. That's a bit cryptic if you
ask me...
Artea a girl?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This only applies to the German version of Lufia 2. The German translators
made a small (but funny) adjustment; they 'translated' the male archer elf
Artea into a female! Though she/he is still named Artea, apparently they
thought that 2 female characters weren't enough in the game.
Prince of Auralio
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the game you will come across the prince of Auralio; his name is Leon, but
later on when the ceremony of the ruby icon begins his name suddenly changes
into Alex. After finding the ruby icon again his name is turned back into
Leon.
The Lost Dragon Egg Glitch
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is not advised to do since there will be absolutely NO way to
get the egg back after you make this glitch work.
Just as with taking the three items for the AC into the cave itself; (See
Stuff section) It is also possible to make an "Dragon egg" disappear this way,
because after you collect the three items from the chests these chests are
available for the Egg Dragon to hide his eggs. Just open the door talk to the
knight to enter the cave and collect the dragon egg before stepping on the
teleporter. After you return to the upper world the egg will disappear from
your inventory leaving you with 7 eggs.
Confusion Semi-Immunity
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If a character is equipped with any weapon that auto targets all enemies, that
character will become immune to the effect of 'Confusion'. You may lose
control of him / her, but the confused member remains attacking all enemies.
Here are the weapons which have these abilities:
-Coma Hit -Stun Gun
-Launcher -Arty's Bow
Shrine of Vengeance's Basement Battle Background
------------------------------------------------
If you go down into the basement of this Shrine and attack any monster you
will see the Shrine Battle Background instead of the Basement Battle
Background you usually see, when you are in a basement type environment. This
is not a real big issue however.
Egg Sword Item Sprite Image Glitch
----------------------------------
Upon beating the Egg dragon you receive the Egg Sword. If you look carefully
at the item that pops up, when Maxim holds the sword above his head to show it
you can see the image displays a heap of coins. Most people hardly notice this
since the sprite is quickly covered by a message you get after getting the
sword.
Make Erim appear in Alunze Basement
-----------------------------------
Pick up one of the pots in the big room of Alunze Basement (Where you can
find the Aqua Jewel. Walk around and stand still one square in front of an
enemy. Now drop the pot on the tile on which the enemy will step on the next
move you make, this will cause the enemy to slip under the pot and also starts
a battle. Escape from the battle right away and immediately pick up that pot
again. The sprite image of the enemy should turn into Erim, although other
images seem to appear in some occasions as well!
Note that the game still treads the Erim sprite as if it is the original
enemy, so if you touch it again you will do battle just like usual. This trick
works best on the frog that wander around here.
Holy Staff cures Paralysis on attack
------------------------------------
Yes, you read that correctly! If you use the Holy Staff to attack someone, the
target has 100% chance of being cured from Paralysis Status. This makes no
sense to anyone, but the only guess we can make is that the Holy Staff was
meant to induce Paralysis by a certain percentage with a regular attack.
Enemy Script Glitches
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most of the glitches described here were initially found by Relnqshd. Many
thanks for your help. Most of the info was found after looking inside the ROM
trying to find out how the battle system in Lufia works.
1. Copper Dragon / Ninja Reaction Scripts
-----------------------------------------
The Copper Dragon and Ninja don't have any protection against ailments, and
neither do they have any elemental Alignments. The script for this is there,
but because the programmers made a small error that part of the script is not
read by the SNES. This is the main reason why the Copper Dragon is so easy to
beat!
2. Erim's Eerie Light, Thunder & Zap attacks
--------------------------------------------
Due to a scripting error Erim can never use these attacks. Eerie Light was
meant to be an attack like Dark Fry, but it also takes away any Allies' Mirror
Status and removes ALL statistic bonuses; Including but not limited to Trick,
Beserker, Bravery and even Wave Motion! If Erim were still able to use this
attack she would be a lot tougher to fight. Relnqshd has a fixxxer patch for
this which you can download from his site.
3. Bolt Fish locks game up
--------------------------
This would actually fall into the 'Bugs' category since this glitch can ruin
your game. After Bolt Fish tries to use "Confuse" after you absorb all of his
MP, the game will get stuck in an infinite loop. This is caused by a
programming error that doesn't solve the error that occurs when this enemy
runs out of MP. Usually an enemy will go to another part of the script, but
this enemy gets stuck in a loop and will keep on trying to cast "Confuse" for
eternity locking the game up.
4. Mirror, Mirror, it will never work
-------------------------------------
A lot of enemies seem to have a glitch that doesn't allow them to use the
mirror spell. Sly Fox is an example of this. The script was programmed so that
only if the Sly Fox has the Mirror Status he will try to cast Mirror. So when
he doesn't have it he won't cast it, which means that he can never use it. You
can test this yourself; cast Mirror on a Sly Fox and he will start using
Mirror every round as well. Unfortunately this doesn't cost him any turn at
all. Other enemies like Demise and Archfiend have a similar problem that
disallows them to use Mirror. But who cares, this glitch is in the user's
advantage.
5. Dark Warrior's true colors
-----------------------------
The Dark Warrior looks exactly the same as the Samurai; however this wasn't
supposed to be like this. After looking in the data of the cart, it turns out
to be that the Dark Warrior had a different color scheme similar (but not the
same) as the Ochi Warrior. For some reason the wrong color scheme was
implemented for the Dark Warrior although the real palette is still inside
ROM. Use the following PAR code (US version): 96BF1D01 to fix this.
6. Frue Gades
-------------
The Gades you fight on top of Shuman's Sealed Tower and Doom Island isn't the
most powerful version of Gades in the game. It turns out to be there is a
dummied out version of him, that is a lot stronger; perhaps equal or stronger
than Amon. To fight him Relnqshd has created a fixxxer patch for this which
you can download from his site.
7. Nosferato fails to make Contact
----------------------------------
Nosferato tries to use Contact every now and then, however since he is an
undead he cannot regain HP that easily. This wasn't taken into account when he
was 'programmed' and therefore Contact will almost always miss, so he can't
regain any energy. To fix this problem if you like Relnqshd has created a
fixxxer patch for this which you can download from his site.
8. Regular Attacks renamed
--------------------------
This is not really a glitch, but it is nice to add here too. For some reason
the programmer found it necessary to create special names for regular attacks.
The attacks are just as powerful (read: Identical) as the normal version used
by the game, only it has another name attached to it. Take a look at this
table:
Enemy Special Real Attack
------------ ------------ ----------------------------------------
Sphinx Riddler "Confuse" spell
Nuborg Frenzy is a regular attack
Wood Gorem Mokujinken is a regular attack
Idura(1,2,3) Idura Thunder "Bolt" Spell
Ramia Tail Attack is a regular attack
Hade Chariot Dash is a regular attack
Hades Skull Final Shadow "Perish" spell
Shadow Vile Laughter "Perish" spell
Green Clay Fatal Punch is a regular attack
Fire Dragon Bite is a regular (fire) attack
Egg Dragon Scrambled Egg is a regular (fire) attack
-------------------------------------------------------------------
9. Cheap Egg Dragon Strategy
----------------------------
Due to a glitch the Egg Dragon is actually the easiest enemy to beat in the
game. Because he has the maximum amount of HP that is possible due to the
games' programming limitations (HP = 65535 = 2^16 - 1), you can force the game
into a glitch, thus resetting his HP at 0 again. This happens if his HP is
full and you try to heal him with something incredibly weak like a Charret
Newt. Doing this will create an overflow on the HP counter (E.G. resets the HP
counter back to 0) of the Dragon causing him to have 4 HP! Normally the game
checks what the Maximum Amount of HP is to prevent 'overhealing', but since
the Egg Dragon's Max HP is 65535 this check is always valid. This way you can
beat the dragon with one hit after healing him a little. Take note that this
only works if Eggy's HP is (almost) completely filled!
10. Cheap Master Jelly Strategy
-------------------------------
Simply annihilate your own party, while battling him!! This may sound weird,
but when you are defeated the jelly will give you the key to the ancient cave.
The reason this trick works is that the Script of this battle was written so
that only when you exit the battle without having the Master Self-Destruct you
get the Ancient Key. So you can kill him in three rounds or alternatively you
can kill your own party to prevent the Master from Self-Destructing all the
same. I guess the programmer didn't take into account that you would kill your
own team after getting healed by the Master.
11. 'DMG / 10' Protection doesn't work for magic
------------------------------------------------
All the Cores have been given special protection against physical attacks,
which divides all damage by 10. The implementation of this feature however
was not so good, because the mathematical formula to calculate Damage
screwed up for Magic attacks.
12. Bosses doesn't check their MP
---------------------------------
After absorbing his MP or when he depletes it by himself he will continue to
use the "Idura Thunder" magic attack (Bolt Spell), but fails every time since
he has no MP left. This means that he will loose a turn each time this occurs.
It is caused by the absence of an MP check to make sure that he has enough MP
to cast the spell, since this is not there the game engine will prevent him
from casting the spell thus the game continues on without letting him attack
in that turn.
Actually, there are more bosses with this glitched behaviour; Idura isn't the
only one. Still have to compile a list of them.
13. The silly Imp tries to Silence himself
------------------------------------------
There is a very odd quirk about the reaction script of the enemy called Imp.
This creature is programmed to have a 10% chance of silencing himself every
time you attack him. This little glitch doesn't influence him at all since he
can cast any spells, but still it remains a question why the programmer want
him to induce the 'Silence' status on himself. A possible explanation is that
the programmer intended to give the Imp a 10% chance of canceling Instant
attacks out, but this was very poorly (and incompletely) implemented.
==============================================================================
Rumors
==============================================================================
The Ten Iris Treasures
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Get the ten Iris treasures to open a door with the encryption above it, near
the third mystic stone at the very end of the game.
As far as I know this is a fake rumor. I have all ten Iris treasures in story
mode, but this "Door" doesn't seem to open.
|||||||||||||||||
|||| NEW PROOF ||||
|||||||||||||||||
This is a response from Natsume to Dang Nguyen concerning the Iris treasures:
"The Iris Treasures were for collecting only. They are not very easy to
find, thus creating a game within a game. An extra challenge if you will.
Thank you,
Customer Service
Natsume Inc."
This proves once and for all that the rumor is not true.
==============================================================================
Stuff
==============================================================================
Daos - Master of ???
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know how this odd thing happened or where the scenario went wrong,
but in Lufia (1) Daos is "Master of Chaos" and Amon is "Master of Terror", but
for some reason this was changed in Lufia 2. Either the scenario writers made
a mistake or the English translators goofed up (once again; see the changes
section below) which ended up in having "Daos - Master of Terror" & "Amon -
Master of Chaos".
Even more in the Dutch version of the game Daos is called "Master of
Infernos", since Terror didn't translate to well. Which gives us the following
table (are there any other versions?):
Name Game
-------------------------- ----------------------------------------
Daos - Master of Chaos Lufia - Fortress of Doom
Daos - Master of Terror Lufia 2 - Rise of the Sinistrals
Daos - Master of Infernos Lufia 2 - Rise of the Sinistrals (Dutch)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Secret of the SuhrCustom11
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you ever been wondering, why this weapon has a very weird name? It may
be because the SuhrCustom11 is supposedly a Guitar. When I first played the
English game I was surprised to see that this weapon was named SuhrCustom,
while in the Dutch version of this game this weapon was translated into
'Gitaar' which means Guitar. Not shortly after I told Relnqshd about this
little quirk, he found out on Google that SuhrCustom is actually a real brand
of Guitars! Check www.google.com for more information about this instrument. I
dunno however what the '11' means.
This would also explain why the description says that the neck will bend if
exposed to water (Not that the weapon is weak against water enemies).
Witch Ring; does it really increase MP growth?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The clear answer to this is: "No". Although the description of the ring
states that wearing it will influence the increase of MP growth, but it is NOT
true. It turns out to be that this is a case of bad translation. The original
Japanese version stated that: "Magic Power will increase" this confused the
English translators. They thought that Magic Power is equivalent to MP, but
this is however not what the Japanese description meant. Magic Power means the
power of all magic spells, for the ring increases INT thus making magic spells
more effective.
Samurai or Ninja?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Relnqshd has found an interesting thing about the Samurais that you encounter
at the top of 'Ferim East Tower', the ones you need to open up the door to the
final room. Usually you can't fight these creatures, but using a special PAR
code he managed to get into battle with these enemies. It turns out to be that
the enemies are composed of Ninjas only. This is a useless fact since you
can't battle them in a regular game, but how cares.
Very Easy and Cheap Experience & Gold Strategy
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to gain levels fast you could fight the "No cores" on the upper
world close to Chaed, but there is an even easier strategy that allows you to
level up all your characters (and perhaps all you Capsule Monsters too). Just
fight the Egg Dragon using the Cheap Strategy listed in appendix C or F, every
time you beat him you will get 60,000 Exp & Gold, or 240,000 Exp & Gold if you
are in RETRY mode for each fight! This allows you to get 9,999,999 Exp & Gold
very fast.
If you do feel the need to train the Capsule Monsters as well use the Egg
Ring to outrun and kill the dragon before he gets a turn; one of Eggy's
attacks would surely kill any weak Capsule Monster.
Take the Dragon Ring, Brill Helm and Light Jewel into the Ancient Cave
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a nice little quirk that allows you to take the three special AC
items into the cave itself. This will work only one time so be careful! Also
you can't take the items outside of the AC once you get this trick to work;
you will lose the items for good! So this is basically only fun to do when
playing in GIFT mode.
Here's what you have to do:
Before you enter the cave open the door with the Ancient Key, then talk to
the knight so you can enter the teleporter behind him. Walk back to the
chests and collect the three items! Now you can enter the cave with the
Dragon Ring, Brill Helm and Light Jewel!
Instant game reset trick
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you press the top Left & Right shoulder buttons, Start and Select at the
same time your game will reset. This can be handy if you want to change the
file you are playing, or when your completely stuck.
How to get 9999 (max visible) damage
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9999 is the maximum visible amount of damage possible. It can be achieved by
equipping Guy with an old sword, then go to the dragon temple and challenge
the egg dragon. Now have another party member cast trick / beserker, but don't
let them attack the Egg dragon. Now have Guy use the IP of the old sword as
the FIRST attack. If your ATP is high enough you should see 9999 appear on the
screen. The game counter can actually go even further up to 32767 Damage at
most, although you can never reach that far without cheating.
Fruit on small islands in Lufia
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 5 of these islands to be found in Lufia, where you can find enemies
that only drop fruit for an item. Here are some locations:
Next to Elcid
West of Northern labyrinth
West of Alunze north-west cave
North of Gordovan
West of Gratze kingdom
On these islands you can find the following enemies: Black dragon, White
dragon, Evil fish, Wood gorem, Sand gorem, Green clay and Pug. All of these
monsters drop their corresponding fruit, which can be used to feed your
capsule monsters. I also marked these islands with 'Fruit' Icons on the world
map, which can be downloaded from www.gamefaqs.com as well.
Lufia or Lufia 2?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A small thing that not many people seem to notice is that Lufia has been
released with three different names:
Country | Game name
------------------------------------------------------------------
Japan | Estpolis Denki 2
America / Most of Europe | Lufia 2: The Rise of the Sinistrals
Netherlands / Australia | Lufia
------------------------------------------------------------------
The reason why this game was named Lufia in the two last countries is, because
Lufia(1) was never released there.
Heal enemies to death
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've found enemies in the game that can be healed to death. It's very strange
but when you cast strong, stronger, champion, valor or rally on them they will
lose HP instead of gaining it. IP attack that regain HP work too.
Creatures that can be healed to death are:
Dark Skull Hades Mummy (Boss)
Dark Spirit Hades Skull Skeleton
Demise Jurahan Snatcher
Ghostship Leech Spectre
Ghostship (Boss) Nosferato Vampire
Ghoul Ochi Warrior Venge Ghost
Hade Chariot Mummy Zombie
Lucky Blade for Tia?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The cursed Lucky blade can only be used by Maxim, Guy, Dekar and Lexis. Once
uncursed, it can be used by Tia too.
999 is not the limit in this game
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other people have noticed this besides me, but I never posted this little
quirk before. For example: if you keep on using Life Potions on one character
he/she will reach the 999 barrier where the amount of HP doesn't seem to go up
any further. This is not the case, for you can actually raise HP and MP much
further than this, although this is normally not visible because the game only
has three digits to display the value.
==============================================================================
Challenges
==============================================================================
These are a set of challenges I've come up with. They're quite hard to
complete, but there all possible with some practice.
1. Reach B99 of the Ancient cave in 1:54.
This time was set by Richy, and is a very fast time. I am not going to
update this anymore, so this will remain the final time.
2. Get all at least 1 of every single item in the game.
For a complete list look at the chart tables to see all the items that are
available. Exceptions are made for:
-Dual blade
-Pearl shield
-Uni-jewel (It is impossible to get it without a PAR-code)
-All the "Ancient Cave Only" items (item only found in RED chests of
the ancient cave.)
You can see your entire list by selling all your items, then go to Forfeit
isle. Here you can go to the small shop in one of the houses, you will
find a complete list of every item you have owned/sold. Can you succeed to
find all the items, swords, armors, rings and jewels?
3. Get 9,999,999 gold & 9,999,999 coins.
To complete this you must fight a lot of enemies for a loooong while,
and/or do a lot of gambling in the casino. Or fight the Egg Dragon using
the cheap strategy over and over again to gain MANY levels & gold in a
very short time.
4. Beat Gades (Gordovan West tower) on level 28 or below.
A challenge that can prove to be very hard, it was completed by Rubyheart.
So I chose his level as the maximum limit. Thanks to Bahamut's new tactic
this challenge has become a lot easier. I am not going to update this
anymore, so this will remain the final limit.
5. Beat the Eggdragon with the following conditions:
- Level of party members at most 50
- Don't use Blue Chest items (no 'Flame Shields', etc)
- Don't use Casino items (no 'Dragon Blade', 'Bunny Sword', etc)
- Don't use the Dragon ring (IF you have it)
- Do it before going to Chaed. This also means that you will not have
the Lizard blow, Old sword and the Old armor
- And without cheating/cheaping obviously
6. Do another run at the game and complete it with the following:
- 0 resets used
- 0 escapes used (battle escapes)
- 0 defeats (deads) for every party member
- Without going into the Ancient Cave
- Without beating the Egg Dragon (so you won't have/use the Egg ring)
- And obviously without cheating
==============================================================================
Japanese vs. US/AUS/EUR Differences
==============================================================================
Here are the differences between the Japanese vs. US/AUS/EUR games. After
playing all different variations of the game I came to the conclusion that the
translation from the Japanese version is a lot different. The US/AUS/EUR are
nearly identical, although the latter two were released later and have a few
glitches fixed (like the Ancient Caves' last field.) I'm not going to discuss
the Japanese spelling and Grammar rules too much, so if you want to find out
more about Japanese just search with 'www.google.com'. Also I'd like to thank
Relnqshd once again for the help and contributions he provided with this
section.
NOTE: The following selection is only a small part of the translations that
were altered from the original. Also they are ordered in a quite random way,
although most of the items at the start are all Blue Chest Items.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rekka definitely means something like a great fire.
Apron Shield
---------------------------------------------------

Apparently the Japanese version doesn't make any difference between the
Silver and Gold Eye.
Gold Eye
---------------------------------------------------
Kokuri no Me
Hard/Cruel Eye
Apparently the Japanese version doesn't make any difference between the
Silver and Gold Eye.
Earth Jewel
---------------------------------------------------
Tsuchi no Hiseki
Earth/Soil/Ground Jewel
Tsuchi can also be Mother Earth.
Gloom Jewel
---------------------------------------------------
Yami no Hiseki
Darkness Jewel
-
Super sword
---------------------------------------------------
Megami no Tsurugi
Megami's Sword (or Katana)
In Mythology Megami is goddess of Liberty.
Old Sword
---------------------------------------------------
Taiko no Tsurugi
Ancient/Old Sword
-
Myth Blade
---------------------------------------------------
Kodai no Soodo
Ancient/Antique Sword
-
Insect Crush
---------------------------------------------------
Insekuto Kiraa
Insect Kill
What would you prefer killing or crushing?
Crazy Blade
---------------------------------------------------
Maddo Ejji
Mad Edge
Why was this changed? Mad Edge isn't offensive or is it?
Deadly Sword (Lethal Sword (PAL version))
---------------------------------------------------
Kiraa soodo
Kill Sword
-
Royal Whip
---------------------------------------------------
Kuiin Uippu
Queen Whip
-
Fatal Pick
---------------------------------------------------
Desu Pikku
Death Pick
-
Super Driver
---------------------------------------------------
Purasu Doraibaa
Plus Driver
I like "Plus Driver" better over "Super Driver"
Launcher
---------------------------------------------------
Aroo ranchyaa
Arrow Launcher
-
Pearl Armor
---------------------------------------------------
Shinjyuu no Yoroi
Divine Suit/Piece of Armor
So the translation when you get the armor is correct, but the name in the
inventory is wrong.
Holy Robe
---------------------------------------------------
Hagonomo Tenshi
Angelic Celestial Robe
-
Terror Ball
---------------------------------------------------
Des Baru
Death Ball
The Japanese name is more appropriate since that is what it does.
Freeze Ball
---------------------------------------------------
Pararizu Baru
Paralyze Ball
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Enemies
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deadly Armor
---------------------------------------------------
Kiraa Aamaa
Killer armor
Deadly Sword (Lethal Sword (PAL version))
---------------------------------------------------
Kiraa soodo
Killer Sword
-
Demise
---------------------------------------------------
Des
Death
The Sprite resembles the Grim Reaper quite a lot so that makes sense.
Fiend
---------------------------------------------------
Demun
Demon
I am getting the feeling that Demon, Death & Kill are bad words...
Jurahan
---------------------------------------------------
Derahan
Dullahan
In Mythology the Creature Dullahan is a headless Knight, which suits the
image that is used for this creature.
'x' Gorem
---------------------------------------------------
'x' Goremu
'x' Golem
For some reason the Translators literary translated the Gorem from Japanese
instead of making it into Gollem. This may have happened because the Japanese
don't make any difference between an 'L' and an 'R'.
Hidora
---------------------------------------------------
Hidora
Hydra
For some reason this was literary translated into English, instead of making
it Hydra. In Mythology a Hydra is a 'multi'-headed serpent, which fits the
picture of the Hidora well.
Ice Roge
---------------------------------------------------
Aisu Debiru
Ice Devil
For some reason 'Devil' seems to be a bad word.
Hound
---------------------------------------------------
Heru Houndo
Hellhound
Once more the word 'hell' had to be removed.
Orky
---------------------------------------------------
Orochi
Orochi
In Japanese Mythology an Orochi is an 8 headed dragon, this fits the Orky's
sprite plus that it is also weak against 'Dragon' attacks making him a dragon
too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Capsule Monsters
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Terminate - (Darbi's Special attack)
--------------------------------------------------
Jenosaido buresu
Genocide Blast
The Japanese one sounds a lot more aggressive IMO.
Dragon Blast - (Darbi's Special attack)
--------------------------------------------------
Doragon Buresu
Dragon Blast
-
Wolf Punch - (Darbi's Special attack)
--------------------------------------------------
Daaku Nakku
Dark Knuckle
Wonder why this was changed into Wolf Punch.
Mini Imp - (Darbi's Level 3 Tribe)
--------------------------------------------------
Mini Debiru
Mini Devil
Imp sounds much less dangerous though, that's all.
Big Imp - (Darbi's Level 4 Tribe)
--------------------------------------------------
Resseru Demun
Lesser Demon
Same as with the previous.
Electrobolt - (Gusto's Special Attack)
--------------------------------------------------
Raitoningu Boruto
Lightning Bolt
-
Iron Trident - (Zeppy's Special attack)
--------------------------------------------------
Paawaa Toraidento
Power Trident
-
Thunderfist - (Zeppy's Special Attack)
--------------------------------------------------
Sando Aamu
Thunder Arm (Yes, 'Sando' is Thunder and not Sand)
Small difference, but still why Thunder for the Water Elemental Zeppy?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Visual Changes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bunny Ladies
---------------------------------------------------
In the Japanese version of the game inside the 'Markao' Casino most women are
dressed up like bunnies. From some reason they were changed into ordinary
women in the other versions. My best guess that women in Bunny outfits might
be offensive to certain people. Also this explains why there is a huge set of
bunny Equipment Items for sale in the Casino.
Priests
---------------------------------------------------
In every church there is a priest to be found, however in the original
Japanese version the priest had a cross instead of a vertical line on his
Miter. Also inside every church there was a big cross behind the priest,
instead of an obelisk.
Treasure Sword Shrine's Alternative Puzzle
---------------------------------------------------
The Block Puzzle rooms inside Treasure Sword Shrine aren't there in the
original version. In the Japanese version this was one big room with a simple
teleporter puzzle. Why this room was changed is beyond me, but the Block
puzzles are quite a lot harder to figure out on your own.
Ancient Tower's 'X' & 'O' Puzzle
---------------------------------------------------
On the Second Floor of the Ancient Tower there is a small puzzle which was
removed from the game in the US/AUS/EUR versions. All that remains is an empty
room with one enemy in it. To solve this puzzle all you had to do was walk on
the tiles so that the 'X' changes into a 'O'. A little too easy if you ask me.
Gordovan's Holy Cross Puzzle
---------------------------------------------------
In the Japanese version of the game you had to form a cross on the ground
using 6 blocks to get past the undead Zombie for the Sky Key. The other
versions all have a puzzle where you had to hit 7 blocks in the right order.
It seems to be that anything that 'might' be associated with any religion has
to be removed from a computer game.
Harbor Guy's Hair
---------------------------------------------------
In the US version of the game all guys in the Harbor town have brown hair,
but in the Japanese version they have light blue hair. This small change
doesn't seem to make any sense at all.
==============================================================================
PAR Codes

----------------------------------
Garanteed 100% Chance of Item Drop
----------------------------------
Using this GG/PAR code (created by Relnqshd) Item drops will always occur. Be
careful though since you can have only 1(ONE) item per battle and the item you
receive will always be the item dropped by the first enemy you kill. So always
kill the monster of the desired item first.
GG (US):
6DE9-34D1
DCE9-3401
PAR code (US):
81FB5880
81FB590A
--------------------------
Dark Warrior's True Colors
--------------------------
As explained in the Glitches section of Appendix F the Dark Warrior has the
wrong palette, which makes him look identical to the Samurai. Here's a PAR
code that will restore his original colors.
PAR code (US):
96BF1D01
------------------
Walk through walls
------------------
If you are really curious about what lies on the other side of the wall you
can use this GG/PAR code to walk through the walls. Beware that this code may
seriously screw up your game so use with care!!!
GG code (US):
6D21-44AE
6D8F-176E
PAR code (US):
83DC6B80
83BD1E80
-------------------------------
Select a Bxx Ancient Cave level

traveling in the Ancient Cave. After activating the cheat step down some
stairs and you'll be on the level you wanted to be.
PAR code (US):
7FE696xx - where 'xx' is the level in hex
Use '62' hexadecimal to go down to 98 in one go. Then deactivate the cheat to
meet up with the Master right away.
----------------------
Infinite Money & Coins
----------------------
The following cheat gives you 9,999,999 Gold and Coins. It works for all
versions of the game:
PAR code - maximum Gold (All):

7E0A8C98
PAR code - maximum Coins (All):
7E0B557F
7E0B5696

---------------
Easy Experience
---------------
With these codes you can control how many EXP you get in a battle. The codes
must be entered during a battle and before it ends (before you kill all the
enemies). The format of the codes is:
PAR code - (Japanese):
7E15E8xx
7E15E9yy
7E15EAzz
PAR code - (Others):
7E1605xx
7E1606yy
7E1607zz
Where zzyyxx is a 6 digit hexadecimal value. Here are some examples for the
others category:
Code | Amount of EXP you'll get
---------------|--------------------------------
7E1605E8 |
7E160603 | 1,000 EXP (zzyyxx = 0003E8)
