2. Introduction
=====================

Welcome to my Soul Blazer Walkthrough/FAQ. My goal is to make the most
complete guide to Soul Blazer on the net, so I'll be CONSTANTLY working
and updating it. This is not the first walkthrough I've written (others
are 'DarkSun 2: Wake of the Ravager' & 'Dave Dude'). I also plan to
write walkthroughs to 'ActRaiser' & 'Illusion of Gaia/Time'.

Soul Blazer is one of the simplest RPGs for the SNES, the first on the
Soul Blazer Trilogy (with Illusion of Gaia & Terranigma), and it was
the on that started me on the RPG world. It's perfect for a beginner,
but some expert RPG players may find it too easy. I've been playing it
since I was 7 years old!

Although I'm certain of all the information contained on this document,
I'd like to know if you spot any errors, or any suggestions you may
have.

4. Tips
=====================

- When a monster lair is pink, it's active, meaning more monsters need
to be defeated for it to reach it's green status. When it's green, all
its monsters have been defeated, and your character can step on it to
release a soul or open a passage. When it's yellowish orange, the lair
is sealed.

- Always seal EVERY monster lair you can. You can see how many monster
lairs are left on a screen by pressing Start.

- Always have a Medical Herb on your inventory, and equip it when
you're low on HP.

- If you KNOW you're gonna die, equip a Strange Bottle.

- Talk to everyone on the Town areas.

- Choose the Shield Bracelet over the Power Bracelet, until you get the
Super Bracelet.

6. Story
=====================

Some of this text was taken from the Owner's Manual. ©Nintendo & Enix.

Wise men tell a tale late at night of a Great King destroyed by the
temptation of evil. The Freil Empire, as it was called in those days,
was ruled by a powerful man, King Magridd. It seems most people thought
the King was a fair and kind ruler. There were some, however, who felt
the King himself was ruled by greed.

One day the king happened to overhear two guards talking about a man
named Dr. Leo. Now Dr. Leo was considered by all to be a great inventor
and genius. The King stayed up many nights wondering how he could use
this great inventor to make him even more wealthy. All of the sudden
the King had an idea. He ordered his guards to capture Dr. Leo and
bring him to the castle at once! Soon Dr. Leo was brought to the
castle.

The King confined him in a room and ordered him to invent a machine
that would summon the King of Evil, Deathtoll. Dr. Leo finally
completed the machine. The King instantly called upon Deathtoll, hoping
they might strike a deal. After many days the deal was complete. The
King would bring Deathtoll all living creatures, and in return,
Deathtoll would give him a Gold piece for each.

One by one, all living creatures began to dissapear. Soon the world was
completely empty. Two people were watching this catastrophe, the
Master, and you, his follower.

"The King was very foolish to be tempted by Evil, however, I will give
him another chance. You must go down to Earth and Revive the World!"
The master said.On a Ray of light you descended to Earth... A warrior
sent to revive the living and punish evil.

A SOUL BLAZER!!!

7. FAQ
=====================

Q. Help, Help! There's a blue ball circling me and I can't kill it!
A. *Sigh!* That's the Soul of the Magician, you use it to cast magic!
"Friend, no enemy!" -Tarzan

Q. I've finished the Underground Castle. Now what?
A. Equip the Dream Rod found on the Underground Castle and talk to
Lisa, the girl sleeping on the house on the east of GrassValley.

Q. There's a monster lair on Leo's Painting and no defeatable enemies
around!
A. The MetaGrinner isn't defeatable.... yet!

Q. Where's the sword to kill the boss of GrassValley???
A. In Dr. Leo's Laboratory. Meaning you'll have to defeat it with your
little sword.

Q. HEY! I killed the Monster in the Paintings but I can't step on the
monster lair!
A. That's a bug that happens on the older versions of the Soul Blazer
ROM. Just reset your ROM and defeat it again... I hope you saved your
game before!

Q. I can't see anything on GreenWood except fog! or
Q. I can't see anything on the St. Elles Seabed except water!

your keyboard). Remember to enable sprite #1 before going anywhere
else.

8. Walkthrough
=====================

----------8.1 GrassValley----------

::::::::::::Trial Room:::::::::::::

Treasure: -Sword of Life
-Flame Ball Magic

You'll start off this game at the GrassValley Shrine, talking to the
Master. He'll ask you to choose your name. I suggest you type in
"Blazer" or "Angel" to keep in the spirit, but you can type in whatever
you fancy.

As soon as you can move, you'll notice there are 4 blocks on this
Shrine. The northern golden block enables you to talk to Master, save
your game and move to other parts of the world, when you can. The south
one takes you to the Town Area. The one to the east takes you near the
area boss. That one is blocked too. The western one usually takes you
to the middle of the level. Not this time, though. Since it's the only
one that's not blocked, enter it.

You are now in the Trial Room, a sort of practice level. First, open
the chest right in front of you to get the Sword of Life, your first
sword. Equip it (by pressing Y, A, A & X), and attack the cherry-head
on the corner. After you defeat it, another one will appear from
the ML (Monster Lair, the little pink circle). Defeat all of them and
the ML will turn into a green blinking circle. Step on it to release a
wizard (who until a couple of years ago I thought was a gorilla. :-/).
Talk to him and he'll explain he is an angel just like you. He'll give
you the Flame Ball magic, and join you. Equip the Flame Ball Magic and,
when you can, take a few shots, just for practice. You'll notice that
the flame ball flies in the direction you're facing. Very well, exit
the Trial Room and go south from the Shrine to enter GrassValley.

Uh-oh, nothing here. Go to the southwest corner and descend the stairs,
then go right to find a cave. Talk to the tulip you see and enter the
cave.

::::::::Underground Castle:::::::::

Treasure: -Medical Herb
-12 GEMs
-Dream Rod
-Iron Armor
-50 GEMs
-Leo's Brush

This is the Underground Castle, your first dungeon. You'll see more
cherry heads, kill them all but don't step on the ML yet. Go to the
northeast corner and slash at the other cherry heads from there. After
you defeat all of them, step on the first ML to open the wall then
step on the second ML. You'll release a woman.

Now go north and defeat some plant-pods to get a Medical Herb.
Watch out for the water slimes, who unlike some enemies, don't have
a ML. Go west and defeat some more cherry-heads, then go and talk to the
jewel fairy to get some EXP. When you're done, go north and defeat some
more cherry heads (using the rock in front of the bridge as a "shield"
and proceed north, then east. Defeat THOSE cherry heads, hiding behind
the two wooden pillars and ambushing them, then step on the ML, and
proceed south. Watch out for the geppers, get the 12 GEMs on the chest,
and proceed north to kill some plant-pods.

Go east and kill the bonguards, then go south at the first opportunity,
kill some bees and get the Dream Rod. While you're there, kill some
cherry-heads with the Flame Ball magic. Walk north, then east, then south
again. Step on the ML then kill the pods. Go south to kill some of
the bonguards and you'll open a shortcut to the entrance of the Castle.
Don't follow it, though. Go south and kill some more bonguards to
release a watermill. Talk to the elevator and it'll tell you the
watermill needs to be turning for you to proceed.

Go back to the town via the newly-opened shortcut, and talk to everyone
there. Help the mill-keeper turn the wheel, then go south from the mill
to find a cave with two chests and a blue jewel. Get the Iron Armor,
50 GEMs, and the EXP from the fairy. Also, get a Medical Herb at the
Tool Shop if you've used yours, and return to the elevator in the
Underground Castle. Ride the elevator, kill some plant-pods and go east
to another screen.

Start this screen by going north to kill some plant-pods, then north
again to kill some cherry heads. Go east then south, defeating some
Water Slimes along the way. You'll come to Stonehenge-like thing filled
with plant-pods. kill them all, then go south and defeat MORE water
slimes and a gepper. Going east, you'll see an infinity of mobile roads.
Follow the first one completely to the east and defeat the cherry heads
and the bonguards. Go back a little west and follow the second mobile
road completely to the north, then east a little, and stop at the little
"island" with some bees. Defeat those bees to release... another ML full
of bees. Defeat THOSE bees and release... ANOTHER ML full of bees.
Defeat some MORE bees and you'll release.. (yup, you've guessed it) YET
ANOTHER ML with bees! After defeating FOUR MLs full of bees, what did you
release? A goat. Yup yup.

Go back to the mobile road and follow it east, south, east and south.
Defeat some Water Slimes, go west, defeat some cherry heads, and
release... a ML full of bees. This is getting annoying. Kill those
bees and proceed west to kill some cherry heads and release a shortcut.

Now go back west a little and go south, follow the mobile roads east,
then a little to the north, then west, and before you get dizzy, kill
some bonguards. Talk to the Blue Jewel fairy and ask to return to
GrassValley. Whew.

Talk to everyone you released, (especially Gaudi, the architect), and use
the Dream Rod on Lisa. She'll be dreaming of her father talking to her on
the Underground Castle. Step on the ML, then talk to her, and she'll wake
up screaming at you to leave her house. Do so, and she'll ask you to
return. *grumble grumble* She'll ask you to get her father's paintbrush.
Ok, easy enough.

Go back to the east side of the Underground Castle, using the shortcut.
The pillars blocking the southwest entrance are magically gone! Follow
the path and go to the east to defeat the last plant-pods, then go back
to the west to open a chest and find... Leo's Brush! Yaaay!

Go back to Lisa's and talk to her. She'll tell you about her father's
dissapearence. Hmmm. Go to the house north of Lisa's and use the
paintbrush on the painting. Wheee!

:::::::::::Leo's Paintings::::::::::

Treasure: -Medical Herb
-Strange Bottle

Start by killing the birds in the first room. Go to the next room and
kill those fire-shooters (Be careful, those things are tricky!). When
you go to the next room, follow the moving carpet on the left and kill
those spear-shooting armors. Go back south and follow the path on the
right, and kill more armors, then go north for the next screen.

As you enter this screen you'll be attacked by more birds, kill them and
go east. You'll find a chest with a Medical Herb and a handful of moving
blocks. Kill them and go east. Kill the armors there, but don't even try
to kill the metagrinner: it's Metal and too much for your Sword of Life.
You'll have to come back later. Proceed east then north, and exit the
screen.

Okay this screen is FILLED with metagrinners so be careful. Kill the
armors that will attack you and go east. Kill those jumping blocks,
then go north to kill some birds. From where you are go west, south,
west, north, and exit the screen.

Follow the carpet north, and kill some armors while dodging the
metagrinners. You'll release a Shrine entrance meaning... it's
almost time for the boss... *gulp* Proceed north and go west at the
first opportunity, and kill those fire-shooters with the Flameball Magic.
Go back to the carpet and proceed north to kill some armors. You'll open
the entrance to the next screen, the boss. But don't proceed yet. Go back
to GrassValley for now.

Go to the southeast corner and talk to the little boy in a hut. He has a
treasure. Hmmm... Go to the sleeping tulip and push it to left. A pass!
Heh heh heh! Now go to the kid in front of a cave and give him the pass.
Cross the cave and get a Strange Bottle on the ledge. Get a Medicl Herb
from the Tool Shop if you need one, and let's go face the boss.

---->Boss: MONSTER IN THE PAINTINGS<----

To defeat the Monster, lure it to the far left or right, then walk
up the central conveyor belt sticking the sword up to hit it, and
repeat. Remember to have a Medical Herb equipped.
Difficulty: ** (Out of 5)

Well that wasn't so hard. Go back to GrassValley and talk to the Village
Cheif to get the Brown Stone (One down, five to go!). Get a Medical Herb
if you've used yours, and go to the Shrine. After listening to the Master,
go to the Yellow Block and select Move. Now go south to the next level,
GreenWood.

Ball, and watching out for the shabers. Kill the slime men on the end of

the stairs kill some flame men with the Flame Ball. Then, descend the stairs.

Open the chest on the southeast corner to get... nothing. Darn. Kill the
lizardmen to the east, but watch out for the metal scorpions. When you're
done, go northeast and kill the smokes, but since you can't get it's ML,
just go north a little then follow the path to the west to kill some more
lizardmen. Now go to the south as far as you can, to kill more lizardmen,
but these are blinking, meaning you can only hit them when they stop moving.
Now, northwest of you you should see some smokes, kill them then go to the
central area (should be northwest of where you are) of this maze, and
descend the stairs.

Go west and kill some fire men, then go south (watch out for the fire trap,
only walk on it when it's grey... (For now!) Kill the smokes and go east as

the most southern passage to get the Light Arrow Magic from a fairy, and
choose to return to GreenWood.

Talk to everyone new in town, then follow the second mole hole from the

and go south to the Seabed. Kill the giant unchin and the seahorses south
of you, then go up the stairs on the west. Get the ML to release a statue
and go back to the Sanctuary to talk to it. It'll open the passage to
Rockbird, a shore reef.

This place has the most monster lairs than anywhere else. Start by going

it. Kill the monskeys in this ML then go southeast for more shooting
trees and eagles. Get the two chests, and go to the dried-up lake to the

entrance to the big palace. No, go to the Seabed.

Go to the southwest corner. I advise you don't try to kill the metal crabs

tumble by, then go west, and north.

Go east and go down the corridor using the same tactic as before, and get the
Soul Armor in the chest. Go back north and exit the screen.

there are some purple demons. Defeat them for a shrine entrance. Uh-oh, final
boss time. Get a Medical Herb if you don't have one, and if you want to level

Second form difficulty: *****

After you defeat him, you'll get the ending. Remember to wait after the credits
to get the "epilogue". If you liked Soul Blazer, then you should play its

the Magic Bell. Here are the locations to all emblems:

Emblem A
After you get the Zantetsu Sword, go back to Leo's Painting in GrassValley
and defeat all the MetaGrinners. You'll release, among other things,
an ivy that leads to a ledge apparently empty. But if you walk on that
ledge you'll fing the Emblem A

invisible chest you can open when the Soul of Reality (a soldier on the
third house from the left, bottom row) joins you.

Emblem C
On the same tree as the hungry squirrel, there's another one that'll
give you the Emblem C

Emblem D
Find a dolphin that says "Sit on my nose" at the Seabed Sanctuary, and
do so. You'll find a chest with the Big Pearl. Then, go to Lue's cell
and use the Dream Rod on a sleeping dolphin. Equip the Big Pearl and
talk to him. He'll move so you can open a secret passage at the St.
Elles Seabed. Go to this secret passage and enter the secret cave.
Defeat the enemies and you'll find 4 chests. One of them contains the
Emblem D.

Emblem E
On the wall south of the Shrine entrance on the Mt. of Souls, there's
a secret passage that'll lead you to a snail (if you've rescued him.
Otherwise, there's no passage). Talk to the snail to get the Emblem E.

the Dream Rod on it. Then, after the dream sequence, go to Lake Lune
and walk where the mushroom was standing in his dream. The Emblem F
will be there.

it flies away, so approach it from the back. It'll give you the Red-Hot
Mirror.

THE PASS

This is a very easy one. You know there's this kid outside a cave next
to the mill who asks for a pass, right? And the other kid, the one
inside the clubhouse, always goes next to the sleeping tulip when you
leave his shack. And there's also the other tulip in this screen who says
she saw a boy hiding something underneath a tulip. Well, it's pretty
obvious the pass is underneath the sleeping tulip, right? Sooo... just
push it to the left!

THE SECRET BLUE JEWEL FAIRY

When you ride the last raft to the Light Shrine, step on the platform then
go back to the raft. It'll take you to a secret Blue Jewel.
