1.1 INTRO
===============================================================================

The world of Jiphang is made up of 6 countries. The Ryu (Dragon) Kingdom, to
the far east, is the brightest and greatest of the countries.. The king of the
Ryu Kingdom has been decided by conventional practices since long ago. The new
King of the Ryu Kingdom enters the court and is greeted by his retainer. The
new king is the younger of two brothers, and the retainer reveals that the
Ancient Flame has chosen him as the new King. The King is worried about his
older brother, but the retainer tells him not to worry about it, that he was
the one chosen and he is now king. Meanwhile, the older brother is in his
quarters and is speaking of Ninigi. The elder brother is told by Ninigi to hate
his brother, and that he should be king instead of the younger brother. He
would be king of the Ryu Kingdom and of all of Jipahng. Ninigi then tells him
to kill his brother to become king.

Cut to the "Gates of Hell". Two guards are discussing them, and one says how he
doesn't believe that these are indeed the Gates of Hell that were sealed 600
years ago. They also speak of how the older brother bears a grudge against his
little brother and how he should really be king (though the reasons for this
are unclear). They are killed by the older brother, who wants to open the gates
and free Ninigi. He then breaks the seal and asks for Ninigi's power. The
current king and some guards come, but they are killed by the elder brother
after Ninigi possesses his body. Before dying, the younger brother says that
"even if you kill me, you can't extinguish the Ancient Flame". The scene ends
with an eerie shot of Ninigi's three eyes peering out from the Gates of Hell...



===============================================================================
1.21 HIGUMA KOKU (FIRE BEAR KINGDOM)
===============================================================================


===============================================================================
::: Hikage Village :::
===============================================================================

   Stuff to find:
   1x Manjuu ("Inn"), 100 G (Ji's house), 1x Kusadango (Ji's house), 20 G (pot
   outside Ji's house), 10 G (pot by furnace at N end)

Your adventure as Higan begins in Hikage Village. Higan has been knocked out
after a fight with the Coal Hermit, and his friends, Binta and Genkotsu,
worry about his health. Ji (an old man) then comes in, drags Higan out of bed,
and instructs him to go battle the Coal Hermit until he has defeated him.
After Higan and his friends leave, Ji wonders when Higan will realize that the
blood of the Fire Tribe flows within his veins.

You are now free to explore the rest of the town. Your goal is to find and
defeat the Coal Hermit. Note that you can't leave by the southern exit just
yet, so instead leave the village by the northern exit to the Back Mountains.
Before you go far, Binta and Genkotsu will join your party. This is apparently
not the first time your party has attempted to defeat the Coal Hermit, as
Higan's friends express that they will get him "this time". It also seems that
Binta and Genkotsu have never actually made it to the battle; they have always
run away before getting to the actual fight. Head to the eastern most building
and enter the first dungeon.

   Items of interest:
    - At the Back Mountains, head straight north to find the graves of Higan's
      parents.


===============================================================================
::: Coal Mine :::
===============================================================================

   Stuff to find:
   1x Kanoubi, 1x Manjuu

This first dungeon is fairly straightforward. At the first screen head
northwest and take the stairs. Next go east to the stairs. Now go south to the
stairs and then to the southwest on the next screen to another set of stairs.
Head north and you'll get in a fight. After the battle Genkotsu will get scared
and leave the party. Continue north to the stairs. At the next screen head
east, south, then west. Here you will fight another battle, and afterwards
Binta will also leave the party. Continue west to the stairs and you'll find
yourself in front of a temple. Talk to the old man and he will comment that you
keep trying but it's useless, but he'll fight you anyway.

After the fight, you will receive Kaen Giri ("Flame Slash", a new Skill), and
you can talk to the old man and save/heal. It also appears that the Coal Hermit
created the monsters in the dungeon, as he refers to them as "his" monsters.
Now go back through the dungeon and head toward the village.


===============================================================================
::: Hikage Village :::
===============================================================================

As you return, Binta comes running up and tells you the entire village has been
frozen. Enter the village and attempt to enter the building you began the game
in. Ji will come out battling with another person. You find out his name is
Raid, and he states that he cannot be defeated by a human, and that he is a
first general of Hell. He also comments that his next goal is to destroy Higuma
(the Fire Bear). After the next scene unfolds, you will have to fight Raid.

After the fight, Raid challenges you to come to Ice Mountain to battle him
again. He teleports away, leaving Higan alone with Ji. A flame appears and
follows Higan. Ji then tells you that you have been chosen by the Ancient
Flame, and that those chosen must protect the seal on the Gates of Hell as well
as become the ruler of the Dragon Kingdom. He then instructs you to go to
Hitachi Village (Fire Rising Village), where you can find more descendants of
the Fire Tribe. Hitachi Village houses the Ancient Flame, and is also the
birthplace of Higan's mother (Ji's daughter). Byakuen then gives you the Kenshi
no Udewa (Swordsman's Band). Now head through the southern exit of the village
and out to the overworld.


===============================================================================
::: Hitachi Village :::
===============================================================================

From the village, head a little west and then north, following the path.
Continue to follow the path north, past the sign at the crossroads, and across
the bridge. Continue heading north. You will come to a piece of mountain that
juts out to the right. Walk past that and head west and little north. The
village is somewhat hidden inside a patch of forest on the far west part of the
map, but you should be able to see it without much trouble.

Head north from the first screen to enter the village. Now head north and a
little bit west and you should see a building with a man standing by the bottom
of the steps. Attempt to enter the building to invoke a fairly lengthy scene.

The building you are trying to enter is the Shrine of the Ancient Flame. You
find out that the Ancient Flame only summons those of Fire Tribe blood, and
Higan shows the man his flame familiar. The man then runs off to get the other
villagers. The group notices the Kenshi no Udewa and asks if Higan is Ji's
grandson. It also appears that Ji's real name is Byakuen. They are shocked to
hear of his murder, and you find out that Higan's mother at some point left
(abandoned?) the village. The group goes on to explain that they are the Fire
Tribe, and their task is to protect the principles of the Ancient Flame. One
man in the group protests that Higan should not enter the temple, but Higan was
called by the Ancient Flame and therefore they can't stop him.

When you regain control of Higan, head up into the building and talk to the man
in the center.

The man tells you that the being who killed Byakuen is an agent of Hell, and
this is proof that the seal on the Gates of Hell has been broken. He then says
you now must meet the Ancient Flame and receive it's judgment (say Yes). He
says the flame will test you, and that those who fail, die.

When you again regain control of Higan, head up the steps to the flame and
press A.

The spirit of the young king comes and speaks to you. He states that Higan is
next to receive the flame. He continues, saying that Ninigi is the King of Hell
and that his older brother was tempted by the words of Ninigi into breaking the
seal on the Gates of Hell. He says that Jipahng has fallen under the control of
the dwellers of Hell, and that it is the intention of the Ancient Flame that
Higan seal Ninigi back in the Gates of Hell.

When Higan comes to, the group thinks he is dead, but of course he gets right
up. They say that Higan has now become a true Fire Brave, and you are
instructed to speak to the head of the Higuma Jinja, as Byakuen's sword is
there. The game then tells you that Higan is now a Fire Brave.


   Items of interest:
    - If you go to the farthest northwest building, you'll find a large tower
      with a telescope on top. If you look through the telescope from 5-6 PM
      (real time), you will see Takamagahara, a floating island.


===============================================================================
::: Higuma Jinja :::
===============================================================================

   Stuff to find:
   1x Dokukeshi (SW house), 1x Manjuu (Newspaper building), 10 G (Newspaper
   building), 10 G (NE house), 20 G (NW house)

To get to Higuma Jinja, head back the direction you came, but when you reach
the crossroads with the sign, head east and you shouldn't have much trouble
finding it. There's quite a bit to do here; note that these events aren't
necessary to advance in the game, but they do make it more fun:

   - The Egg Shop
   See section 2.2 for info on how to raise those goofy little monsters.

To continue with the game, exit the village using the north exit, and you will
enter the shrine area. Drinking water from the fountain will heal you. Enter
the western-most building and talk to the man walking around to inquire about
the sword. The man tells you that the sword has been there for 10 years, and
that it is now sealed up. After Higan proves who he is, the man grants him
permission to take the sword, but comments that it must be rusty after all
these years. Now head to the eastern-most building, go upstairs, and grab the
Rusty Sword. On the way out speak to the man again and he tells you that if the
sword is clean it will become the Higuma Sword, and will easily defeat the
enemies at Kooriyama (Ice Mountain).

From talking to the villagers you find out that a woman named Hisui lives in
Inochi no Mori (Forest of Life), and that she may be able to help you. This is
your next stop.


===============================================================================
::: Inochi no Mori :::
===============================================================================

   Stuff to find:
   1x Manjuu, 1x Dokukeshi, 1x Hisui no Koromo, 1x Inochi no Tantou, 360 G

Head northeast from the Higuma Jinja in order to get to Inochi no Mori
(it's the big forest at the far east end of the overworld). This area is a
maze of sorts, but it's not too complicated. To get through, follow these
directions:

On the first screen, head north.
Go west.
Take the western most north exit (under the bridge).
Go up the ladder and head east across the bridge, then go north.
Cross the two bridges, then go north.

Enter the shrine to find a woman lying on the ground. She says she is sorry,
but she is already dead. However, when Higan gets near her, she feels the power
of the flame in him and it revitalizes her. She asks if you will listen to her
request (say Yes). Her name is Hisui and she is the Fairy of the Fire Tribe,
but her life is over, as a new Fairy will be born soon. She wants to enlist
your help in rescuing the stolen Fairy Egg, and you discover the egg is in the
Yumedo (Dream Shrine) in Kooriyama Village. She says if she goes with you, she
will gain strength. She then takes the Rusty Sword, and through her own life
force, cleanses it. The sword is now the Higuma Sword. After Hisui joins your
party, exit the forest the same way you came. Your next stop is Hikage Village.


There is some extra stuff to do before going on with the game. You can complete
these before now, after now, or not all, but this seems like an ideal time to
catch up on a few things:

    - The three hermits:
      There are three hermits in Higuma Kingdom other than the Coal Hermit.
      Head northwest of Kooriyama Village and enter the cave in the mountains.
      This is the home of the Miruzou Sennin (Peeping Hermit). Speak with him
      to receive the Miruzou Scroll (Peep Scroll). This displays the enemies
      weaknesses. There are five things enemies can be weak to: fire, water,
      wind, snow, and physical attacks.

      The next hermit is on the south end of the kingdom. If you view the map
      by pressing SELECT, you will see a piece of land jutting out into the
      water on the south end of the kingdom. Head to the bottom of this to
      find the Yousui Sennin (Fairy Water Hermit). He gives you the Yousui
      Scroll (Fairy Water Scroll).

      The last hermit is on the northwest corner of the map.


===============================================================================
::: Hikage Village :::
===============================================================================

Back at Hikage Village, head to the northwest corner of the village and talk
to the old man standing in front of the furnace. The man needs part of the
Ancient Flame to make his fire pots, but he doesn't have any. Higan lends his
part of the Ancient Flame to the man, and you get a Fire Pot in exchange. The
man tells you that after a certain amount of time the pot will explode, but if
you need another one simply come back to the village. After he gives you the
Fire Pot, head to Kooriyama Village.


===============================================================================
::: Kooriyama Village :::
===============================================================================

   Stuff to find:
   20 G (W house), 1x Manjuu (SE house), 20 G (Item shop), 30 G (E house)

Head north from the entrance, and as soon as you enter the ice screen, a timer
will start. Slide across to that patch of snow in the middle and talk to the
man there. Buy a pair of Kanjiki (Snowshoes) and equip them as an accessory.
These allow to walk on the ice. Head northwest and stand in front of the
blocked entrance, then go to your item screen and use the Fire Pot. It will
blow up, allowing you to enter the cave. If you let the timer run down, the pot
explodes and fries Higan, but it doesn't actually hurt you. If this happens
simply head back to Hikage Village and get another one from the old man. Enter
the cave and follow the steps down to Kooriyama Village. Once in the village,
head up the stairs by the temple and enter the cave.


===============================================================================
::: Hyougajou (Ice Fang Castle) :::
===============================================================================

As you come up to the castle, note that the entrance is in the image of Ninigi.
Hisui laughs at Higan when he is unable to open the entrance, then proceeds to
use her power to enable Higan's sword to cut through. Once in the castle, head
southwest and take the steps, then follow the path to the next set of steps. On
this screen, unequip the Kanjiki, then step onto the ice. You will slide across
the gap. Now reequip the Kanjiki and go up the steps. Head south to the next
screen. Where the path splits into four parts, go east and take the steps. Now
go north to find Raid. He laughs at the Fire Tribe and commands you behold his
true form.


       Boss fight: Zettai Reido


After defeating him, Raid declares that you haven't seen the real enemy yet. He
also seems suprised that you are indeed a Fire Brave. Hisui comments that since
Raid is gone, there is no magic to sustain the castle, and you hurry out.


===============================================================================
::: Yumedo :::
===============================================================================

Once inside the shrine, Hisui tells you that inside the egg is the new fairy,
Subaru. A new fairy is born every 20 years, and it is her time to die so
that the new fairy may be born. Subaru is still weak, and Hisui must use her
own power to help bring her to life. She gives you the Hisui no Yubiwa
(Hisui's Ring); this will enable Subaru to find you. When the egg hatches,
Subaru will find you.

Once Hisui is gone, you can talk to the old man standing by the chest. He tells
you that inside the chest is Subaru's summon creature egg, and that only Subaru
can open the chest. When Subaru's egg hatches, she will most likely bring the
summon creature egg along when she goes to find you.


===============================================================================
::: Bijindou (Beautiful Women's Cave) :::
===============================================================================

If you want to go on with the game, simply follow the path to the exit. If you
want to see the cave's namesake, however, keep reading. If you go up the path,
you will see two staircases that go to the left, each going to an entrance. The
upper entrance is the quickest way to get to the Yuuwaku no Izumi (Spring of
Temptation). After you go through the entrance, go up at the first chance.
Follow the path a while, the then go down at the first chance, then right, and
enter the cave. Most likely they will not be there. Note the multicolored
blocks at the north end of the cavern. These colors change 3 to 4 times an
hour, and when they are all the same color, the women will appear. There's no
specific time they actually appear, you pretty much just have to get lucky. If
they do appear, however, here is an overview of what happens:

As you enter, the women introduce themselves as the three Beautiful Women,
beautiful like flowers. They ask if you are a Fire Brave, then exclaim that you
beat Raid all by yourself, so you must be powerful. They tell of their desire
for your "burning love"; they want to experience the love of a Fire Brave. You
must choose which woman you want. They ask if you will do it (you will end up
saying Yes no matter what). The middle woman introduces herself as Ran, she is
the oldest and wants your love that burns like fire. The woman on the left is
Miki, she wans your thoughts of love. On the right is Suu, she wants your
charming love. They ask who you will choose. Now walk up the stairs and talk to
whichever one you want. After the Wavy Screen of Love, you will receive a
different item depending on which woman you chose. Here's how it lays out:

Ran - Gives you Moeru Tsuki (Burning Moon)
Miki - Gives you Omoide no Tsuki (Moon of Memories)
Suu - Gives you Torokeru Tsuki (Charming Moon)

Regardless of which you picked, she will tell you to come back and "visit"
again. The next time you come (you have to get lucky again) two of them will be
gone, but the one you chose will be waiting for you ; )


===============================================================================
1.22 KUJAKU KOKU (PEACOCK KINGDOM)
===============================================================================

When you exit the cave, Hisui's Ring will shine and you will see the fairy egg
growing. Once in control of Higan again, head east and north to enter Kujaku
Jinja.


===============================================================================
::: Kujaku Jinja :::

===============================================================================

Upon entering the village, the ring will shine and you will once again see the
fairy egg grow. Head north to the temple area. As soon as you enter you will
see a boy being attacked by some monkeys. The boy cries for help, and you fight
the monkeys.

After the fight, the man (Akamaru) thanks you. He describes how the Red Tower
appeared in the kingdom from nowhere, and the red rain has been falling ever
since. The red rain makes people sick, and their bodies turn red. People want
to get into the tower to put a stop to the rain, but there's no way to get in.
Akamaru tells of a flying ship that allows entrance to the tower. The peacock's
power can't help because it is sealed up. He tells you to find him at Fukufuku
Temple.


===============================================================================
::: Fukufuku Village :::
===============================================================================

To get to Fukufuku Village, head north from Kujaku Jinja and go up the steps.
From here go east, up the steps, around to the next steps, north, then down the
steps and you will see Fukufuku Village.

Once inside, Hisui's Ring will begin to shine intensely, and the fairy egg will
grow even larger. Go to the northeast exit to enter Kujaku Goten (Kujaku
Palace). Head north to the palace, and when you enter you will seeAkamaru
pacing
around. He says it's bad, the ship can't fly. A woman named Miko has the key
required to power the ship. She went to the Kaminari Hermit (Lightning Hermit).
Akamaru pulls out a trumpet and says if you play the trumpet, the hermit will
come. He wants you to go to the Kaminari Hermit and get the key back from Miko.
He asks if you will do this for him (say Yes). In response to this, Akamaru
gives you the Sennin no Rappa (Hermit's Trumpet). He says the hermit is located
in the mountains, so that is your next stop.

To get to the Kaminari Hermit's place, go back torwards Kujaku Jinja, but when
you reach the signpost on the mountain, keep going west. Go up the stairs, then
up the next set of stairs and continue going north until you see the hermit's
place.

Once inside, stand in front of the cushion behind the fire, then go to your
item menu and use the Sennin no Rappa. The hermit will fly out. When questioned
about Miko, he admits he tried to kiss her and she ran away to the west. As you
try to leave, the hermit stops you and says he wants to give you the skill
Inazumagiri (Lightning Slash), but you must defeat him first. Say Yes if you
want to fight. Once you win, he gives you the skill. Now head west to Amadera
Village.


===============================================================================
::: Amadera Village :::
===============================================================================

From the hermit's place, go straight south to the steps, then southwest to more
steps, then a little west, north, west, down the steps and south, and you will
be able to see Amadera Village.

Here Akamaru will tell you that Miko went to the hermit southwest of Amadera
Village, so off you go again.

Go back up the steps you came from, and after walking a ways south, go west
instead of back where you came from. Go down the steps and continue west until
you see the hermit's cave in the mountain.

This is the cave of the Nude Hermit. He gives you the Zenra Scroll, which
allows you to strip the enemy of various attributes. When asked about Miko,
he said she wanted to see his "special power", but when he showed her she
screamed and ran off to another hermit (look at the hermit's name, and you'll
figure it out ; ) ).

Go back to Amadera Village and Akamaru will tell you that Miko is with the
hermit east of Fukufuku Temple.

Head all the way back to Fukufuku Temple, then go north, east, and south to
find the hermit.

Talk to the woman inside, and she asks if you are a Fire Brave (say Yes). She
reveals that her name is Miko, and she works for the Kujaku Temple. Monsters
had attempted to take the ship, and she took the key and hid with the hermits
in order to keep the ship safe. Finally she gives you the Kujaku no Namida, the
key to the ship.


===============================================================================
::: Fukufuku Village :::
===============================================================================

Back at Fukufuku Village, head back up to the palace where the ship is located.
Akamaru says you can now take the ship, and asks for the key so he can start
it (say either yes or no). Regardless of what you say, Akamaru reveals that in
truth *he* is the leader of the Red Tower, and because of you he has found the
key. He demands you hand over the key, and states that once he gets the ship he
will take power of the kingdom. Just as he moves to get the key from you,
Hisui's Ring shines and you see Subaru finally come out of the egg. She says
she must go to Higan, but when she gets there, she thinks Akamaru is Higan.
Like a true gentleman Akamaru informs her that he is "Akamaru of Hell". When
she finally does find Higan, she introduces herself and informs you she is zero
years old, then joins the party. Akamaru says he will take on both of you, and
you proceed to fight.

After the fight, Akamaru challenges you to come to the Red Tower and face him
again. Inside the ship, Subaru wonders if it can really fly. Go up to the
flashing red panel, then go to your item menu and use Kujaku no Namida to start
the ship. The ship's controls are pretty cut and dry. Now fly over the Red
Tower and try to land (the Red Tower is just north of Amadera Village).


===============================================================================
::: Red Tower :::
===============================================================================

After you land, Subaru comments that no one is here. The man who was beating
up on Akamaru the first time you saw him comes out. He says long time no see
and tells you you have caused a lot of trouble. Again you have to fight the
monkeys.

After the fight, Subaru is happy you "beat the monkeys". The man then informs
you his name is Doki, and that he mimics his enemies. Once again, you fight.

When you win, he comments that you really are a Fire Brave, and that you will
never get past the traps inside. Head down the steps.

1st floor
Go north and go down the steps. The machine to the left of the steps doesn't
have any real purpose, but if you press A in front of it it will ask you to
press either the left, middle, or right button. The left button brings down a
gate to your right, the middle button opens a trap door and drops you where the
steps take you anyway, and the right button initiates a fight.

2nd floor
The arrow tiles on this floor take you whichever direction they are facing. Be
careful, some will take you off the ledge. Also, if you try to step on a fire
bridge and it's gone, you will fall down. If you do fall down, simply take the
stairs back up. The quickest way to continue is to go to the bottom two arrows
on the platform you begin on, and take the left side of the two arrows. These
should be the only arrows you step on here, unless you're going for the
treasure as well. Take the next two fire bridges you see, then keep going south
past the next fire bridge and go across the southern most one. Follow the path
north and go down the steps.

3rd floor
To get past this screen, simply step on the down arrow that is one square east
and three squares south of the top of the staircase you came from, then take
the stairs down.

4th floor
Head north to find Akamaru. He is suprised you're still alive and that you made
it this far. He states that he is the second general of Hell, and, like Raid,
commands that you behold his true form.


       Boss fight: Jigoku no Akamura


After the fight, he mutters that you really are a Fire Brave, and says this is
not the end. As before, you leave the tower in a hurry before it disappears.
Now go to the northwestern most village (Iriguchi Village) on the map, pass
through the north exit of the village, and enter Tsuru Kingdom.


===============================================================================
1.23 TSURU KOKU (DUCK KINGDOM)
===============================================================================

From here on the game has not yet been translated for the guide, but this guide
still contains a short summary of what to do in order to advance.

There three "hidden" villages at this first area of Tsuru Kingdom. They don't
have any purpose in advancing the game, but may contain some interesting items
or things to do. One is to the northwest, in a clump of trees by the see.
Another is past the first part of the mountains and little east, in what looks
like a small crater. The third is at the east end of small path that juts into
the mountains, surrounded by a circle of trees.

Once you've entered the new kingdom, head northeast and enter Deguchi Village.
Head toward the east exit and a small scene will occur. When it's over, exit
the village using the east exit.

From here, head to the southern part of the desert, and walk east for quite a
long ways. On your way to the village, you will come across a patch of grass in
the desert surrounded by trees. If you go here, you can rent a rat to carry you
across the desert much faster than you can walk, but this is not required.
Eventually you will come to Sake Village; enter it. Once in the village, enter
the large building at the northern most end of the village. After the little
scene, exit the village.

From the village head north until you reach the mountains, then go a little
east and enter the cave. Here a man will be selling an accessory that will let
you breathe underwater. I would recommend buying at least a couple and
equipping all of them (you can put more than one on each character). Each one
you equip will increase the amount of time you can breathe underwater by five
seconds. So if you equip four, you will have 20 extra seconds before your time
underwater runs out. Keep in mind that if time does run out you will simply be
taken back to the entrance of the cave. After equipping yourself, go down the
steps that are under the water.

Take the northwest stairs.
- Go west down another set of steps.
- Once underwater again, take the steps on the east that continue downward.
- Go up the steps at the north end of this screen.
- Still underwater, take the middle steps on the east side. You should be in a
dry area with a man standing in the center of the path and another set of steps
to the south.
- Go down these steps. From here, take the next two downward-leading steps,
then follow the path back up (this is where the extra breathing accessories
come in handy).
- Once out of the water you will be in a temple-like area. Go up and press A at
the fountain to get the Inochi no Mizu.
- Once you are finished with all of this, go back the way you came and exit the
cave.

Head back south to Sake Village and enter the building at the north end again.
Go to the north room that contains the statues. Walk up to any of the statues,
go to your item screen, and use the Inochi no Mizu. After the lengthy scene,
Tenjin will join your party. Exit the village.

From Sake Village, go to the northwest edge of the desert and enter Tsumi
Temple. Enter the house to the northeast (the one on the raised grassy part).
Talk to the woman in white and another scene will ensue. When asked Yes or No,
it doesn't matter what you say, but if you say Yes you will see something
interesting about the two women. After the women give you the Tsuru no
Hagoromo, exit the village and search for the big pink castle in the desert. If
you tried to enter the castle before now it will have moved to some random
location, so you will simply have to look around the desert until you find it.
When you find the castle, go inside.

Once inside, go north and go up the stairs. In this room, all of the statues
spouting water are switches that lower or raise the water level. To activate
them, walk up to them and press A, then say Yes.

- Activate the statue to your west, and go down the small steps (there will
still be water on the ground, but it's shallower and you can walk on it).
- Head south under the path and go east to the next set up steps.
- From here, go around the path to get to the statue directly south of you and
activate it.
- Go southeast (without going in the water area) and activate the next statue.
- Now head southwest and go up the steps.

In this room there will be a set of steps on both sides of you. Simply go down
the steps on the left, then go up steps at the north end of the screen. The
next screen is a boss fight.


       Boss fight: Sara


After the fight, the landscape of the kingdom will be drastically changed, just
as in the previous kingdoms. To go to the next kingdom, go all the way east and
enter the forest area. Once in Jukai 1 (the forest), head all the way east,
then all the way south to the exit. You will have to walk through some of the
dangerous purple goo to get there, but it won't hurt you too bad. After exiting
the forest you will be in Kame Kingdom.


===============================================================================
1.24 KAME KOKU (TURTLE KINGDOM)
===============================================================================

Out of the forest, enter the first village you come to, Kameoka Temple. After
Juri pops up and says his thing, exit the village and enter Jukai 2, the forest
to the east of the village.

Inside the forest, go southeast, north, east, south, east under the path, and
exit to the east.

Out of the forest, enter Tamayama Village, and Juri will again pop up and say
something. After he's done, exit the village and enter Jukai 3, the forest to
the south of the village.

Inside, go directly south through the goop, still south through more goop, east
under the path, then south through even more goop and exit to the south.

Outside, head south, cross the bridge, and go south to the west entrance of
Aoike Village (just below the mountains, just above the waterfall). The east
end is blocked, so you must use the west entrance for now. Juri will once again
pop up and say something, after he's done exit the village.

Go east from the village until you reach the mountains, then go north and enter
Juri no Ohanabatake (the forested area). Juri will talk to you, say Yes at both
opportunities. This area contains a bunch of large plants that swallow your
party and spit you out at a different location. Walk up to a plant and press A
to use it.

- From the start, go northwest and enter the right plant.
- Go northeast and enter the right plant.
- Go north as far as you can, then go southeast and enter the right plant.
- Go north and enter the left plant.
- Go west, southwest, north, and enter the right plant.
- Go east and enter the right plant.
- You should be at a screen with a bunch of flowery arches going up, simply go
northwest to exit.

Back outside, enter Kaikijou (the big tree thing you're standing next to).
After Juri talks some more (say Yes when asked), enter the tree. In the first
room, go up the steps and exit east. From here, simply find the steps at the
end of each room and continue going up until you reach a room with a large
switch, where Juri will pop up again.

Juri will flip the switch, opening the door in the first room, but will seal
the steps, forcing you to exit the room west. After Juri leaves, say Yes when
given the option, then exit the room. Continue west across the bridge and past
another switch, then follow the steps back down to the first room. Go inside
the big entrance in the first room.

In the next room find the door and enter, then go up the steps. Go through the
door and in the next room Juri will again show up. In the next few rooms he
will ask a question, and you must enter the door that represents the correct
answer. The trick is that no matter what you choose, the answer will be wrong,
and each time you will have to fight a Mori no Ousama (the big tree things).
After doing this four times (the last time Juri will ask a Yes or No question,
say No), you will end up in a "normal" room again. Find and enter the door in
the center of this room, then go up the steps and through the door.

In this room there are a bunch of treasure chests. Juri will ask you to pick up
a number; pick 01. Say Yes, then open any chest to get the Juri no Kagi. Go to
the door at the north end of the room, go to your item menu, and use the Juri
no Kagi to go through the door. Go up the steps and prepare for a boss fight.


       Boss fight: Juri
       Boss fight: Juri / Sara


After the fight, you realize Tenjin has turned into Mizuki, and then find
yourself in another drastically changed kingdom. If you go southwest to Aoike
Village, go down to the dock (the steps are at the southern edge of the
village, east of the waterfall) and talk to the man standing by the boat, you
will be able to rent a boat, and eventually rent your own in order to travel
around the kingdom. However, this is not necessary to advance in the game,
though it may come in handy later.


===============================================================================
1.25 INUGAMI KOKU (DOG KINGDOM)
===============================================================================

From where you are left after defeating Juri, go southwest to enter the
Hirahira Pass (the flower village). Go through and enter the Dog Kingdom.

Go southeast to the large golden castle. After getting beat up by Super Manikan
III, head southeast to the hermit's place there. You MUST have less than 1000
gold in order to get the item you need from the hermit, he is a poor hermit and
therefore does not trust people with more than 1000 gold. Go stock up on
healing items or something else to get rid of your excess money. After talking
to the hermit, he will give you the Inugami no Kokoro.

From here go north and a little west until you reach a rise in the land. Go up
the ladders and notice the little rift in the mountains just to the left of the
waterfall. Go up this rift and press A to receive 65,000 gold (niiice). Head to
the Majin Waterfall (the little hut). In the northeast corner of this area is a
cave; enter it and continue moving through it. When you reach a sealed door,
check it three times and it will open. When you reach the end of the cave,
there will be a golden pedastal. Activate it and go up the new path into the
robot. Here Akamaru & Friends will be waiting for you. When asked Yes or No, it
doesn't matter what you pick, you will fight regardless.


       Boss fight: Aomaru, Akamaru, Kimaru


After the fight, choose No when asked. Go up to the round console and use the
Inugami no Kokoro. You will now fight Super Manikan III. This fight is pretty
easy. Use A to punch and B to defend. You'll notice that Super Manikan III has
a red meter below the normal life meter; when this meter runs out he will do
either a missile or a laser attack. Simply hold down B to block these attacks
with your shield. The rest should be a piece of cake.

After the fight, go up into the castle, watch the scene, and leave. Go west and
enter Ootora Town. Once in the town go northeast, and to the right of the white
building you will see our friendly salesmen. Buy the Kinbacchi (say Yes), and
get ready to walk around with question marks floating above your head at all
times. Also, you won't be able to use magic in this condition.

Exit the town and make your way straight north to Kinzan. There are two mining
towns on this map, Kinzan is the one with the two guards at the entrance. As
soon as you walk past the guards, go all the way west then all the way north
into the cave. Go up to the elevator and choose the third option. Go down the
path a little ways, take a bee hive (Kinkin Mushinosu), then exit Kinzan the
way you came. At some point be sure to visit the hermit at the far north end of
the continent (center-north) to get rid of the question marks and regain your
magic using ability.

Go back southeast the golden castle, enter it, and use the Kinkin Mushinosu
anywhere in the statue area. After the scene, go up to the next room. To use
the chains to move around, walk up to the side that's going up and press A (say
Yes) to jump on.

- Use the chain here to go up.
- Go west and head down the stairs.
- Go down and jump on the chain.
- Make your way to the far east end of the room and go down the stairs.
- Go up and take the downward stairs again.

You should be in a room with lots of conveyor belts. There's no easy way to
explain how to get through here, but once you understand how it works it's very
simple. The conveyor belts take you whichever direction they're moving. When
you get on the round spinning objects, simply hold the direction you want to go
and you will get off in that direction as you come around. After navigating
around the conveyor belts a bit, you will find yourself by some rotating
rectangular blocks. When they're facing your direction you can step on them,
and when your whole party is on the block, your party will stay on it as it
rotates, allowing you to get across gaps.

After navigating through the conveyor belt room, go up the next set of chains,
then make your way up the next three sets of stairs. You should now be in a
room with several orange lights in the floor by the staircase. Go up and
activate the switch to move the right outside platform into place, then hit the
switch again to do the same for the left outside platform. Take the left exit
and activate the button on the northwest platform. Do the same on the northeast
platform (you can walk around the back of the building), then go down and
activate the button on the southeast platform. Go back inside and make your way
to the southwest corner (the moving blocks won't do anything special other than
take you where you're supposed to go), hit the switch there, then go outside
and activate the button on the southwest platform. Go back to the lights on the
floor by the staircase (they should all be green), step on the center light,
and prepare for a fight (say Yes when asked).


       Boss fight: Kingin


After this fight, follow Kingin onto the teleporter platform and get ready for
another fight.


       Boss fight: Gold Silver


As usual, the castle will blow up after the fight; although for once you won't
find yourself in a hugely altered kingdom. As always, be sure to pick up the
Dog Stone from the freed God of this kingdom at the temple village before going
on.


===============================================================================
1.26 RYUU OU KOKU (DRAGON KING KINGDOM)
===============================================================================

Go to the northeast corner of the kingdom and pass through Ryuu no Kuchimura to
enter the Dragon Kingdom.

Head east across the river, find the second town and go north up the terraces
to enter Ryuujin Temple. Talk the guy in standing in front of the dragon and
you will fight.


       Boss fight: Yume no Kenshi


After the fight, go up and talk to the Dragon God. He will give you the Dragon
Stone and tell you what to do next.

At this point, in order to advance, you must have all 6 stones, one from each
God (you HAVE been picking them up right?). Even if you don't have them, you
can still go back and get them, simply visit the temple village in each kingdom
and talk to the freed God there to get the stones.

After you've done this, cross the long bridge on the center south side of the
continent, then go northeast and find the purple path. Follow it east to the
gate leading into the black hole. Once here, simply follow the path until you
reach the temple (this should look familiar from the beginning of the game).
Walk all the way up to the gate and say Yes when asked.

After entering the portal, follow the blinking path and pick up the Aguni sword
(it's a maze, but it's very easy and you have more than enough time). After
getting the sword, go back the way you came. As you try to leave, there will be
another boss fight.


       Boss fight: Yume no Kenshi


After the fight, choose the second option when given the choice. Now exit this
area and go to the other end of the purple path and into the temple area.
Continue making your way up until you get inside the temple. Once inside, keep
taking stairs up until you finally reach Ninigi. Here you will fight. You won't
be able to harm Ninigi, and after four rounds or after you die the battle will
end automatically.

After the ensuing scene, you will find yourself at the Dragon Temple. Go up and
talk to the dragon God, then get on the teleport square he creates. After
teleporting, go down the stairs and pick up the mirror on the desk, the Ukifune
no Kagami. Go back up and get back on the teleport square.

Once back, go back to the gate leading into the black hole. Head to the temple
again, but this time go around and all the way above it and take the next two
northern entrances. In this room go all the way west out to the edge of the
dock. After the scene, you will find yourself riding on a giant flying whale.

You are now in Takamagahara, the floating island you could see from the
telescope in Hitachi Village in the Bear Kingdom. If you want to go back at
anytime, simply press A over any of the open spaces. There are three cities to
find with a boss in each one. Notice that you start in front of a large temple
in the center of the map. This will be our reference point.

Head northeast from the temple to find Katana Village. Go up a ways and get
ready to fight.


       Boss fight: Gaen


Leave the city and go southwest from the temple to enter Kagami Village.
Another fight.


       Boss fight: Mugen
       When he curls up in his shell, you must use magic to harm him. If you
       can't use magic it's because you never got the question marks off your
       head from Dog Kingdom. Refer to the Dog Kingdom section to see how
       to get of them.


The last village is south and little east from the temple. Enter Tamatsukiri
Village and prepare for yet another fight.


       Boss fight: Suima


Now you're finally ready to enter the temple in the center of the map. Go there
and get ready for, you guessed it, another fight.


       Boss fight: Kokubyaku


After the fight, go up to the stone wall and press A. After talking, you will
find yourself in a relatively easy obstacle course of sorts. Pass through
several rooms, and when you come to a blocked entryway, try to enter it twice.
Now go up to the flame and press A. As you try to leave the temple, there is,
yes, another fight.


       Boss fight: Kokubyaku


Finally you're done with fighting on this map. Go back down to earth and go to
where you fought Ninigi the first time. Now prepare to fight him for real.


       Boss fight: Ninigi


Ninigi will disappear after the fight. Go back to the temple in the dark hole.
This time you will have to cut left across the red poison on the second screen
in order to reach the temple. After cutting across the poison sections, go up
the stairs that will be to your right, then head down to the temple. This time
the fight is *really* for real.


       Boss fight: Ninigi


That's it, you're done. Congratulations on finishing one of the best SFC/SNES
RPG's out there!


===============================================================================
2.1 HIGAN'S WOMAN AND HIGAN'S HOUSE
===============================================================================

In Higuma Village there is a brothel of sorts, located on a piece of land by
itself on the west end of the village. When you enter, there is a man standing
in front of the staircase. By talking to the other people in the room, you find
out that the man blocking the staircase loves Kusadango. Go to the counter and
buy a Kusadango for 30 G (it must be bought from here, if you already have one
it doesn't matter). Talk to the man, and after giving him the Kusadango and he
will ask if you want onto the second floor. Say Yes.

Once on the second floor, go to the third door (second from the left) and press
A. The girl introduces herself as Akina, and says it's okay if you don't want
to come in, then asks if you want to (say Yes). She says Higan is a nice name,
and even though this is the first time you've met, there is a fire in her
heart. She feels it is fate that you came to her, then asks if she is cute (say
Yes). Next she asks if you don't like her (say No). She asks if you will love
her (say Yes), then asks if you are joking (say No). She wants again repeats
that it must be fate you found each other. There is a house for sale in town,
and she wants to live there with you. She begs you to buy the house.

Now leave the brothel (say Yes to the man blocking the path after you go down
the stairs) and go straight north to the house there. Talk to the man in the
house, and he will offer to sell it to you for 3000 G. (Note: You must have
talked to Akina and said the right sequence of answers before he will offer to
sell it). Say Yes you want to buy it, then leave and come back in, and Akina
will be waiting for you.

Talk to Akina and she says she has been waiting for you. She is deeply moved
you bought the house for them. She wants you to show her how much you love her,
and says next time you come to bring a gift, a souvenir. She says if you bring
her something nice, she will give you something nice (woohoo!). Tonight,
however, she wants you to stay home. After the Wavy Screen of Love, she says to
come back again.

Every time you come back from now on, Akina will ask if you have something to
show your love (say Yes). A box will come up with every item she wants you to
get her. The items you have will be shown as active (white), otherwise they
will be grayed out. Here is how the screen lays out:

____________________________________________
| Koura Manjuu            Ume Kokeshi      |
| Hana no Iyaringu        Umou no Futon    |

|__________________________________________|

Each time you give Akina a new item, she will say she is so happy, and ask that
you "relax" today. You will be treated to the Wavy Screen of Love for each new
item (way to go Higan!).


===============================================================================
2.2 THE EGG SHOP
===============================================================================

How to raise eggs:
In the Higuma Kingdom's Higuma Shrine there is an "Egg Shop", where you can
purchase eggs that give birth to mysterious creatures. You can keep up to 7 of
these creatures you raise, giving them each a different name.


How do you hatch an egg?
1) First, buy an egg. Both pink and green eggs are being sold, and a different
creature will hatch depending on the color. Green eggs hatch Kapakapa, pink
eggs hatch Usapino.

2) Purchased eggs will automatically move to the hatching area. If you
investigate the egg here, you will be told how much longer before it is warmed
up. After that time, talk to Fukkuu to hatch the egg.

3) After hatching the egg, you can name the newly-born creature. When you are
done, move the cursor over Owari and press the A or START button.


Raising a pet:
Every hour (real time), your pet's energy (HP) drops 1 point; when it's energy
reaches 0, it dies. You can restore you pet's energy with the food sold at the
Egg Shop. Depending on the type of food, the amount of recovery will differ.
Kapakapa like Karada no Esa, and Usapino like Atama no Esa. There are even some
types of food that will decrease your pet's energy. Some food can even cause a
sudden mutation, turning your pet into a totally different creature...

1) First, purchase food from the counter in the Egg Shop. Then stand next to
your pet and press A.

2) The message "Give food?" will appear. If you choose Yes, another menu
showing the 5 types of food will appear. Choose the food you want to give and
press A.


Raising a Summon Monster:
As the game progresses, you will be able to purchase Summon Monster eggs at the
Egg Shop. Depending on how you raise them, these eggs will become either an
Inoshika Butterfly, a Zekkou Butterfly, a Kubuki Butterfly, or a Gokuraku
Butterfly.

1) When you buy the egg, it will be split and a larva will come out.

2) Feed the larva 4 times.

3) After being fed 4 times, the larva will become a chrysalis. After it becomes
a chrysalis, wait for a suitable time, the open it up.

4) After you open the chrysalis, a Summon Monster will be born.

3.5 CELEBRATION DATES AND INFO
===============================================================================

There are 11 different celebration/holiday events at various times and places
throughout the FEOEZ world. The dates listed are real time. If you wish to
visit one of the celebrations, visit the one village with a temple in each
