To navigate much easier through this guide, I added the search system, which
works just by following these simple steps:

- Highlight the "Section Code" of the section which you wish to go and copy it
 (CTRL+C).

- Press CTRL+F to bring up the search sub-menu.

- Paste (CTRL+V) the "Section Code" and press ENTER twice to be where you
 wanted to be. Just like magic!

My Section Codes were made as precise as possible, and I also prefer this
method instead of having you scroll 30 min through this huge guide looking for
the section you want to go.

Howdy y'all and welcome to the only guide available here for Chaos Rings. I
find game to be very interesting, awesome and all that kind of stuff. When I
bought my iPhone, I had no idea this kind of games existed for the iPhone, and
MUCH less Chaos Rings. I had to see several trailers and I was getting pretty
convinced, but when I saw a trailer with VAs on YouTube, I was like: "Wow!".

Didn't think about it twice and bought the game. I've played all 3 of 'em, and
I can tell you all 3 are awesome, and can't really pick a favorite. I'll try
and write for all 3 of them and I'll start with the first one, of course.
You'll find all characters to be great, with a very thought story line and...
well, find out for yourselves.

  There're some things I want to address, so please read the following
paragraphs:

- I'm writing this for free and because I like this game (just like I mentioned
above). If you are looking for tons of eloquent ways for me to say "move here,
grab x item and go N to the next area", you are going to be so disappointed.
This guide is way, way too big to begin with, and lofty language does not help.

- If you take a quick scan thru my guide, you won't find the explanations for
battle basics, main menu, saving-loading, etc. Why, you ask? Well, because the
game manual and in-game tutorials do a perfect job explaining the battle
system.

- The usage of abbreviations. When you're in my place or any who writes for
GameFAQ's or any other page, writing a guide for any game of such proportions,
people complain about using too many abbreviations. You have no idea how
helpful abbreviations are. It also looks better in every aspect you think.

- My guide is not the only one out there. I'm not forcing you to use mine, but
if you use others, then you better be prepared for lots of spoilers, which will
ruin the element of surprise for you, as well as to get you lost in the
walkthrough (like what happened to me when I tried to use some of the FAQ's in
the site). Also, people that have problems with how I write my guide are from
slim to none.

- The spoilers are great issues in making guides. I am a player of the game,
just like you are. The first time I played through this game was completely
by myself. I didn't read any spoilers, therefore nothing was spoiled for me.
All the story's ups and downs that were supposed to surprise me had such
effect. And I really think it's not fair spoiling such story elements to you.
Even if I want to spoil it to you, I'll bite my fingers so you can get the most
spoiler-free walkthrough here.

With all this said, let's start with the guide! Enjoy  this guide and remember
that it is a spoiler-free, so you don't  have to worry about  important info of
the game being spoiled.

The only sites allowed to host my FAQ's from here on out are the following:

- www.gamefaqs.com
- www.supercheats.com
- www.neoseeker.com

This is because many sites either steal my guides or they don't update them,
making it really hard on me because many readers from other sites often ask me
question from an incomplete guide, so this is a better way to keep track of my
FAQ's and my readers. Please, if you're not on the list above, don't even
bother asking about hosting them because the answer will be NO. Thanks.

Also got a Twitch channel! Be that cool guy/gal and throw me a follow! :3

This is a little experiment of mine and I just wanna see how it goes. Well, if
you found this guide to be at least somewhat useful, think about donating some
money. I mean, I'm a student who pays his own school, and it's gastronomy and
it consumes all the money I get at home. I'm not asking for 10-20 bucks.
Whatever your heart wants to give is fine, be it 1 buck, 50 cents.

Whatever the amount you can donate, I'd truly, TRULY appreciate it and your
help would be greatly appreciated. Well, you can only donate through PayPal at
the moment, which the account is: [email protected]
                                 -----------------

Instead of buying the official guides which cost around 20 dls., better donate
half or a quarter or whatever amount to yours truly.

To those who support me, thanks.                  - Alexander Paul Kleinheider

             A tale of love and loss 10,000 years in the making.

                  A skilled assassin, an eastern princess,
          a giant axe-wielding warrior, and a fierce female fighter.

 5 couples from around the world are summoned together by a mysterious being
        known only as "The Agent". The Agent tells them that they must
             fight to the death in a tournament called Ark Arena.

         Should they refuse, they will be killed. There is no escape.

  Thus, each couple, without knowing where they are or why they must fight,
                are swept away into a battle for their lives.

       The sole reward for the victors? The promise of eternal life...

engaging in human trafficking. He appears to be the only one attracted to the
idea of becoming immortal...

                     "I have to protect Princess Mana!!"

A stablehand from an eastern country. Though weak and ill-suited for battle,
he has vowed to protect Mana with his life. However, as he continues to wield
an unfamiliar blade, he starts to feel a strange sense of nostalgia during
battle. It seems that Olgar and Vahti may know why...

something greater and precious.

        "... for us, the answer is that our salvation is now death."

A fearsome warrior whose weapon of choice is an enormous axe.

With his monstrous strength and cool, calculating mind, he is without a doubt
the most skilled fighter among all the combatants. For some reason, he alone
seems to know the truth behind the tournament...

Her numerous experiences in cheating death, as well as her cunning instincts,
make her invaluable to him. She has no ill will toward the other combatants; in
fact, she relates to them with so much affection it is almost as if they were
her own children.

           "Only death awaits those who do not follow the rules."

The mysterious being that has summoned pairs of men and women from around the
world and pitted them against each other in the life-or-death tournament known
as the Ark Arena. Though possessing un believable power, his name implies that
he is but a servant to someone, or something, even more terrible.

Author notes:
 This is how it works:

- My lv.: I'll be displaying recommended levels, or even my levels, for every
area. Remember that the levels are only a reference. Go at your own pace, with
levels higher or lower. I am not trying to force you people to play the game
the way I played.

- Ohnz: The total amount of Ohnz you obtain in the area.

- Items: All the items you obtain in the area are listed here. You're shown the
whole quantity of the area here. Also, it's only usable items.

- Equipment: All the equipment in the area goes here. All armor, weapons and
accessories are in this space.

- Enemies: I'll be displaying the enemies that you will be encountering in that
area. I'll be writting BOSS, SUB-BOSS or OPTIONAL BOSS next to the name of the
enemy denoting THAT enemy is a boss.

You ready to start this awesome and epic story of love, betrayal, hatred and
survival of the strongest? Load the App from your iDevice and in the Main Menu,
we've got 3 options:

- Start: You start the game, pick the characters you wanna play with and
continue/start their adventure.

- Scenarios: You can see the scenarios each pair of character go through. This
fills as you play the game.

- Options: Allows you to change several options of the game.

After selecting Start, you get the choice to play with either "XY Escher &
Musiea" or "XX Eluca & Zhamo". I recommend playing as Escher first, then Eluca.
Choose Escher, select New Game and let the magic begin.

Just a little scene triggers as you press New Game and an eclipse takes place,
leaving the words behind:

                            C H A O S   R I N G S
                            ---------------------
                               D A Y B R E A K

A scene triggers where you see Escher meet with other people. Mmm. Watch the
scene and you're told about the controls. Very easy to remember, no?
Afterwards, talk to the blonde chick. DO NOT speak to the pair in green yet.
Leave 'em for last. Instead, go right and speak to both couples. Now enter the
room on the right  and open the chest to find 'Vin Brûlée'.

  <vin> This allows you to revive either of the fallen members.

Leave the room, return to the main room and go left this time. Speak to the
other couple here. That's it to do now, so return and NOW speak to the couple
in green. This makes the story proceed triggering a rather awesome scene. Now
speak to all the characters leaving Musiea at the end.

Also, where you find Zhamo and Eluca, you'll also see a new character, Piu-
Piu. He's the merchant of the game. You don't have any Ohnz yet (OZ from here
on out), so speak now to Musiea and when done, examine the door, read the
explanation about the levels and the stages and enter...

As we start, a scene between the couple takes place. Afterwards go up the
little ramp and touch the crystal on the left to have it take you to another
area with a chest containing 'Plum'. Return and go right to the next area to
find yet another crystal. Touch it. At the end of the hallway, you'll find yet
another crystal which takes you to a Puzzle Room.

  <vin> These Puzzle rooms are quite simple most of the time, and give you
        some pretty good rewards once you finish them.

|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
|  In this Puzzle you're taught how to move the blocks, so grab the green     |
| crystal and tap the block on the right to teleport to the right side of the |
| wall. Then just grab the other crystal to activate the exit which nets you  |
| '2,000 OZ'. Now simply follow the path until you're outside again and at a  |
| fork.  Touch the crystal on the right to get to a chest with 'Plum'.        |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Return to the fork and go down the little ramp and left to the next area to
find 2 chests with 'Salamander Whisker' and 'Genomoth Bark'. Return, touch the
crystal on the right to get to yet another Puzzle Room.
 ___________________________________________________________________________
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
|  Grab the first crystal and then teleport to where one of the blocks are.   |
| Now grab both crystals, teleport to the green crystal on the right, then on |
| the other block that's in the central area and grab the last crystal. This  |
| opens the path and gives you '2,000 OZ'.                                    |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Once outside again, open the chest to the south to find 'Emergency Exit'. Now
touch the crystal on the left side, touch the next crystal to go outside and
before going north, save your game because there's a...

\=============================================================================/
|                                                                           |
|   Strategy: Ok now, the first Boss Battle of the game and thankfully it's |
|  not that hard. His Mowe attack grants him Gale Element, which isn't      |
|  good. Red Talon deals around 300+ damage so be careful with that one.    |
|  Heal right afterwards. His Tachyon Mode increases its speed, and it      |
|  likes to use it 2-3 times in a row, which is good.                       |
|                                                                           |
|   Right after it uses Mowe for the first time, Pair up and use that       |
|  Salamander Whisker we just found to deal masive damage (I dealt exactly  |
|  half of its HP, 775). After this both of your characters will have Blaze |
|  Element, which is strong against Y Ddraid's. Your physical attacks will  |
|  do damage big time, which is awesome. If you want to finish this         |
|  quickly, Pair up and use Escher's Trompe-L'oeil, which deals massive     |
|  damage.                                                                  |
|                                                                           |
+===========================================================================+

Now simply proceed north to the next area.

Here, speak to both Mana and Ayuta on the right side. After the little scene,
go left and down at the fork to find a chest with 'Ondine Slimeball'. Now touch
the crystal north of Mana and Ayuta in in the next room, grab 'Key' from the
chest on the right and then proceed to the crystal on the upper part of the
room.

Open the chest to find 'Piu-Piu's Collection (Book)' and go southwest from the
chest and follow the path passing 2 screens to a crystal, getting 'Plum' from a
chest nearby. Now time for a Puzzle Room.
 ___________________________________________________________________________
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
|  Start by grabbing both crystals, then teleport to one of the blocks in the |
| middle. Grab the crystal and teleport to one of the crystals on the right   |
| side. Teleport back to the middle using the second block, grab the crystal  |
| and teleport back to the block, grabbing the last crystal and making your   |
| way to the end to get your '2,000 OZ'.                                      |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Return 2 screens (to where you got the Piu-Piu's Collection (Book) and touch
the crystal on the upper left side of the room. Go left at the fork to find a
chest with 'Vin Brulee'. Now open the chest on the lower right corner to find
'Piu-Piu's Collection (Book)'. Now touch the lower left crystal to find a chest
with 'Salamander Whisker'. Return and touch the middle crystal, grab the
'Plum' from the chest on the left and touch the crystal for another Puzzle
Room.
 ___________________________________________________________________________
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
|  First touch the lower right crystal to teleport there, now teleport to one |
| of the blocks on the lower left side, then to one of the upper right        |
| crystals. After this is done, grab the crystal, touch the upper left block, |
| grab the crystal, touch the lower left block, grab the crystal to open the  |
| path to your '2,000 OZ'.                                                    |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The path is open, so return to this area (go back 2 screens to trigger a scene
with Olgar.

Afterwards, save your game and go north to trigger a little...

\=============================================================================/
|                                                                           |
|   Strategy: Ok, this fight with Cerberus is identical to the previous one |
|  only that instead of raising its Speed, it raises its Defense, but also  |
|  has Cremate, which adds Blaze Element to itself, making it weak to Aqua  |
|  which we should have Cocytus from the Genes we've gotten so far.         |
|                                                                           |
|   Make sure to use Cocytus over and over while Paired Up and/or use       |
|  Tachyon Mode to raise your speed and be faster than Cerberus. Overall,   |
|  the same as the previous boss, so you shouldn't have any problems at all.|
|                                                                           |
+===========================================================================+

Watch the little scene after the fight and once you return to the Ark Arena,
spean to Zhamo and Eluca; and Olgar and Vahti. Afterwards, go left and speak to
Ayuta and Maya. Once you're done, go buy all the upgrades Piu-Piu has and time
to tackle another dungeon.

Go north as you start to find a chest with 'White Chocolate'. Now cross the
log to the right, grab 'Ondine Egg' from the chest and touch the crystal. Now
simply follow the path to another Puzzle Room, where we're introduced to the
Slide Puzzle.

|  This one is very simple. First of all, you can only move the blocks when   |
| you're standing on the chessboard-like floor, so get on it and move the     |
| northeastern block down, then the northern block right and down. That's it. |
| move to the exit to get your '2,000 OZ'.                                    |

 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Follow the path and touch the crystal at the end. Now go north, open the
chests with 'Genomoth Bark' and 'Lotion (Blaze)', then touch the crystal. Go
north at the first fork to find the second Puzzle Room.

|  This one is super simple and since you have infinite moves, you can move   |
| them as much as you want. I won't give you direct instructions as it would  |
| be too repetitive and would take forever. Instead, lemme tell you to put 2  |
| blocks on the lower right side where the stairs to the exit are and move    |
| the rest to the upper part of the room, where the entrance is, then move    |
| the 2 blocks you moved to block the exit and leave with your '800 OZ'.      |

 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Now follow the path and at the fork, go right, grab 'Emergency Exit' from the
chest and continue. Grab 'Lotion (Aqua)' from the chest on the left when you
pass by it and soon enough you'll find both Zhamo and Eluca. Talk to them and
at the fork after them, go south to find a chest with 'Stressor'. Return and go
right to the crystal and a...

\=============================================================================/
|                                                                           |
|   Strategy: If you have Aqua Element on your characters, this boss can    |
|  easily deal around 600 damage per hit, so be careful. It only has 2      |
|  attacks, but both are really powerful. Make sure to come into the fight  |
|  having Cremate, a Blaze spell to quickly dispose of Genomoth. You can    |
|  get the spell from the Bird or Dog Genes.                                |
|                                                                           |
+===========================================================================+

Now proceed north to the second half of the dungeon.

Open the chest as you enter to find 'Lotion (Gale)'. A boulder's blocking the
road to the left, so go right, open the chest for a 'Key' and go left up the
first ramp. Move the rock and you've unblocked the path in the first area.
Return to the first area to trigger a scene with Olgar and Vahti.

After the little fight, keep going left and touch the crystal. Follow the path
grabbing the chest with 'Salamander Egg' on the south and continue to the next
area... which is a Puzzle Room... yay >_>.

|  There are a ton of blocks, so hopefully you understand my directions.      |
| Stand directly south of the first block (on the black tile). Move the first |
| block on the central row to the left and move southeast on the black tile   |
| (inbetween the second and third X tiles). Move the first block on the lower |
| row to the left, go around the X tile and move the last block to the left   |</pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
| to get to the end to get your '2,000 OZ'.                                   |

 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Follow the path, open the chest with 'Plum' to the north and continue to the
next area. We start in a fork. Go left first and touch the crystal. Before
going to the crystal in the center, follow the path all the way to find a chest
with 'Vin Brulee'. Now touch the crystal to get to the second puzzle.
 ___________________________________________________________________________
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
|  Start by moving the first middle block to the left and then up (or down).  |
| Now move either of the blocks up (or down). Now stand where the block was   |
| and move the next 2 middle blocks to the left. Now move both of the last    |
| blocks up (the upper one first), now go to the crystal with '2,000 OZ'.     |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Follow the path to the next area. Follow the small path up the ramp (don't
jump yet) and push the rock to clear the path. Now jump down and go right 2
screens. As you go north, open the chest to find 'Piu-Piu's Collection (Book)'
and up the ramp on the left to find 'Genomoth Egg'. Now go north and touch the
crystal.

Grab the 'Vin Brulee' when you get to it and go north up the stairs to the
next area, which is the last and you know what that means...

\=============================================================================/
|                                                                           |
|   Strategy: Ok, Airavata is hard, but more than hard he's annoying. Since |
|  he has no real weakness, you have to wait until he uses Cremate to       |
|  change his Element to Blaze and then spam Dual Cocytus. If you wanna end |
|  this fight quick, attack in your first turn with your fastest character  |
|  which probably is Musiea. This gives you the upper hand and lets you     |
|  deal some massive damage from the beginning. If you're having trouble,   |
|  try using Dual Diamond Density Mode to raise your defense since his      |
|  attacks can deal over 700 damage, so be careful.                         |
|                                                                           |

Watch the scene after the fight and we now get our second ring. Everybody has
found their rings, so its time to fight the first couple, which is...

|                                                                           |
|   Strategy: Alrighty, so against Olgar and Vahti. Just like they said,    |
|  they won the last Ark Arena so they are immortal. As you start the fight |
|  increase your speed, attack and defense while you keep yourself healed.  |
|  Once you start dealing damage, they heal themselves up completely at the |
|  end of their turn, so just do so until Musiea starts wondering the same. |
|                                                                           |
|   Keep on attacking as a duo until they stop their healing. Once this     |
|  happens, start attacking as a duo using the element they are weak,       |
|  mostly Vahti. Take her out ASAP and once she's gone, you can have only   |
|  Escher attack while Musiea heals, or however you want to :).             |
|                                                                           |
+===========================================================================+

Watch the rather sad scene after the fight...

  <vin> Isn't the music beautiful?

and you'll learn the Berserk Mode and Critical First Attack for Escher and
Bind and Magic Block for Musiea. Speak to both Zhamo and Eluca and now the
third door is open. Time to tackle the next dungeon. Piu-Piu doesn't have
anything new, so go directly to the next dungeon.

As we start go south at the fork to find a 'White Chocolate'. Now go right
from the fork to the next screen to find a chest with 'Key'. Now follow the
path until you get to the first Puzzle Room.
 ___________________________________________________________________________
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
|  We're introduced how to break blocks and whatnot. So basically when you    |
| touch a red block, they disappear and make the blue ones appear and the     |
| other way around. Grab the first 2 crystals and touch a red block. Grab the |
| next crystal, touch the blue block, grab the last crystal and leave with    |
| '2,000 OZ' in your pocket.                                                  |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Now follow the path, grab 'Plum' when you get to the chest and continue
onwards. In the next screen, grab 'Emergency Exit' from the chest to the north
and go right under the waterfall to find 'Odine Slimeball'. Return and get to
the next area. Grab 'Piu-Piu's Collection (Book)' and continue to the next
Puzzle Room.
 ___________________________________________________________________________
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
|  First grab both crystals and stand south of the second crystal, in between |
| the 2 X Blocks. Now touch a red block, grab both crystals, touch the blue   |
| block and you're good to go with '2,000 OZ'.                                |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

\=============================================================================/
|                                                                           |
|   Strategy: I think Ondine is the easiest boss yet. You can start out by  |
|  using Mowe (Pairing up) to deal around 1000 damage. His Sadness Blow     |
|  deals around 500 damage to either one or both character, which isn't     |
|  bad. Once it uses either Cocytus or Absolute Zero, your Paired up Mowe   |
|  will deal over 1,500 damage, so 2 more attacks and its gone. Yep, that   |
|  easy.                                                                    |
|                                                                           |
+===========================================================================+

Now onto the next area, which is totally different than this one.

As we start, go left to the next area to find 'Ondine Slimeball'. Proceed west
and touch the crystal getting 'Serum' from the chest first. Grab 'Paradise
Apple (Body)' from the chest and continue to get to the first Puzzle Room of
the area (check out the upper right side of the area for 'Vin Brulee').
 ___________________________________________________________________________
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
|  Start by grabbing the crystal and standing right in front of the stairs.   |
| Touch a red block and grab 3 more crystals. Now stand in between the 3 blue |
| blocks on the upper right corner, grab the last 2 crystals and head to the  |
| exit. Easy '2,000 OZ'.                                                      |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You'll receive 'King's Blood' for it. Awesome. Now back track to where you got
the Serum and go right to the next area. Grab 'Salamander Whisker' from the
chest and proceed. In this room you'll need to use the King's Blood and another
item we still haven't found, so go southeast to the next area, cross it and
touch the crystal. Follow the path to find Zhamo and Eluca. After the scene
just touch the crystal to get to the second Puzzle Room.

|  Start by grabbing the first 3 crystals, then stand on the left side of the |
| room and touch the red block. Grab both crystals and stand on where one of  |
| them was. Touch the blue block, grab the crystal and return (touching the   |
| red block). Do the same with the other one, return to the left side. Touch  |
| the blue one, proceed though the central passage, touch the red one to get  |
| to your '2,000 OZ'.                                                         |

 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

|  healing while the other one is using the magic he's weak against to keep |
|  the damage going while you keep yourself healed. If you don't want to,   |
|  you can pair up and unleash spells strong against him. You'll be dealing |

Watch the scene after the fight and head over to Piu-Piu. Sell him all those
Collections we've been gathering and buy all the upgrades you can. It'll cost
like 30,000 OZ. Once you've done so, head over to the door.

From where we start, go south and into a Puzzle Room... yes this fast.
 ___________________________________________________________________________
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
|  We're introduced to the Candlestick Puzzle. When you touch an unlit        |
| candlestick it lights, but also lights up the ones surrounding it. Its      |
| annoying if you don't know what to do, but that's why I'm here, right?      |
| Start by touching the upper left one to light up 3, then just light up the  |
| lower left one to light up the other 2. That's it. Simple. Grab '2,000 OZ'. |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You'll get the 'Fragment of Redemption' for the puzzle. Return to the start of
the area and go right. Follow the path to the end (ignore the branching path to
the right where the crystal is) to find a chest with 'Emergency Exit'. Return
and NOW touch the crystal. From here go right and touch the crystal to get to
the second Puzzle Room.
 ___________________________________________________________________________
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
|  This one is very simple and quick. Touch all 4 corners to light them up    |
| and have a 3 in the middle unlit. Then simply touch the central candlestick |
| to have all candlesticks lit, netting you '2,000 OZ' and a 'Fragment of     |
| Redemption'.                                                                |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Once you return go left, open the chest on the northwestern corner for

|   Strategy: Quick fight. He has the same HP as the previous boss, and     |
|  only has 2 attacks. His Poison Hand is annoying, because even if Musiea  |
|  blocks the magical damage, you'll still get poisoned. His Scortch Claw   |
|  deals like 300 damage, so its like whatever. Just use Cocytus over and   |
|  over until you get it down.                                              |

Watch the scene and then... another boss >_>. Nah, just attack her a couple
times to end the fight. Keep watching the scene :). Now proceed on to the
second area of Purgatory.

At the first fork, go north and right right away to find 'Salamander Whisker'.
Return to the fork, go left, north and left again to get to the next area. Open
the chest to find 'Genomoth Bark'. In the next area, go right up the stairs and
open the chests to find 'Fragment of Redemption', 'Ondine Slimeball' and 'Water
Lily'. Now touch the crystal.

Grab 'Biliken Clover' from the chest and proceed right. Go north here and
touch the crystal to get to the next Puzzle Room.
 ___________________________________________________________________________

|  Start by touching the candlestick on the upper left side and the lower     |
| right side. Now touch the right one in the center and the left one in the   |
| center. Now touch both the upper and lower middle ones and then the one in  |
| the middle to lit them all. This will net you both '2,000 OZ' and 'Fragment |
| of Redemption'.                                                             |

 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Return one scene and go right. Open both chests to find 'Plum' and 'White
Chocolate'. Now touch the upper right crystal to get to the next Puzzle Room.
 ___________________________________________________________________________
|¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯|
|  On the second row (where there are 5 candlesticks), touch the second and   |
| fourth. Now touch the lower middle one and the top one to lit them all.     |
| This one is simple, thankfully. You'll get '2,000 OZ'.                      |
|_____________________________________________________________________________|
 ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Speak to Zhamo and Eluca, open the chest for 'Vin Brulee' and go north to the
next area. Open the chests to find 'Piu-Piu's Collection (Book)', 'Hot Zone'
and 'Fragment of Redemption'. Now return to the room where the locked crystal
is and use the Fragments of Redemption to unlock it.

Here, go to the end of the path first to find a chest with 'Serum'. Now use
the crystal, prepare yourself, save your game and confront...

\=============================================================================/
|                                                                           |
|   Strategy: Zhamo and Eluca are strong, very strong. There are a few      |
|  things you should do at the start. It's not necessary, but you could use |
|  Tachyon Mod, Berserk Mode and/or Diamond Density Mode to raise your      |
|  stats. Also, they use Gale and Blaze elements, so make sure to use only  |
|  Blaze magic. First and moremost, you've got to get rid of Zhamo as soon  |
|  as possible, since Eluca heals around 400+ HP every turn.                |
|                                                                           |
|   A good thing I found useful is to have Blaze element while they have    |
|  Gale. Use Trompe-L'oeil while paired up to deal around 2,500 damage      |
|  while the Break Gauge is on your side. Also take note that it depletes   |
|  the gauge, making their edge shorter. It also can cancel their turn, so  |
|  that's even better. If you find it too difficult, use Trompe-L'oeil with |
|  Escher only while Musiea heals with either Magic or Items.               |
|                                                                           |
+===========================================================================+

Watch another sad scene after the fight...

  <vin> Man, the first time I played through this I almost cried. So
        beautiful.

...and you'll learn the Risk Breaker and Recover HP Every Turn skills,
Braveheart command Boost Critical skill as well. Awesome. Keep on watching the
scene afterwards. Now save your game, prepare and go call The Agent at the
door.

\=============================================================================/
|                                                                           |
|   Strategy: The Agent. Might look menacing, but he's a pushover. I        |
|  leveled up looking for Genes, but he was dealing around 600 damage per   |
|  turn. His most dangerous attack is G-Zettaspore Particle Cannon, which   |
|  deals around 800 damage to both characters, paired up or not. Use either |
|  Diamond Density Mode to raise your Defense or Berserk Mode to raise      |
|  Attack. Also having Braveheart on both characters is very good just in   |
|  case you die.                                                            |
|                                                                           |
|   If he uses Mowe at the start of the battle you're in for a treat, since |
|  you can exploit his weakness to Blaze, dealing massive damage to him.    |
|  Overall, not a hard battle. Keep up that Diamond Density Mode if you're  |
|  taking a lot of damage. If not, keep Berserk Mode up.                    |
|                                                                           |
+===========================================================================+

After the fight watch the scenes and go talk to Piu-Piu. Speak to him and
he'll say something about the First Truth and the Original Door. WHAT?! Also
make sure to upgrade all your equipment. Now go to the door and select Original
Door to see the first Ending.

Hope you liked Chaos Rings. There's still more to see from Escher & Musiea's
story, so keep on reading :).

|  His strongest attack, Execution, deals around 700 damage so pair up an   |
|  heal up. You don't even need Diamond Density Mode for this fight. Paired |
|  up, attacking normally will deal around 2,500+ damage per hit, so in     |
|  like 7 hits he's dust. Other than that, no other threat. Keep your HP    |
|  high. Now weaknesses in this fight, so don't even bother using Cremate,  |
|  Cocytus and/or Mowe.                                                     |

Watch the scene after the fight and leave to the south. In this hallway, there
are purple pods that contain information of The Agent, The Executioner, The
First Couple AND Immortality, so make sure to read them all...

  <vin> Very VERY interesting.

Ignore the first crystal and touch the one at the end of the path to get to 2
chests with 'Plum Jam' and 'Vin Brulee'. Return and now touch the central
crystal and follow it until you get to where you fought both couples. After the
little scene, continue until you get to another elevator that takes you to the
137th floor.

As you go up, another scene triggers and now you'll have to fight...

|   Strategy: Ok, so the Agent isn't holding back this time. Let's see      |
|  about that. He has the same attacks as in the previous battle, so you'll |
|  know what to expect. The difference here is that he is stronger,         |
|  obviously, but he can also attack twice per turn. This is the first time |
|  a boss does this, but its like having Zhamo and Eluca attack on their    |
|  own. He also loves to use G-Zettaspore Cannon in almost every turn, and  |
|  its his strongest attack, so be careful.                                 |
|                                                                           |
|   If he uses Cremate at the start of the battle you're in for a treat,    |
|  since you can exploit his weakness to Aqua, dealing massive damage.      |
|  Overall, not a hard battle. Keep up that Diamond Density Mode if you're  |
|  taking a lot of damage. If not, keep Berserk Mode up.                    |
|                                                                           |

Watch the scene and continue onwards. Read the purple pods to get more info.
Don't use the crystal in the middle of the room just yet. Instead, use the one
at the end to find 'Last Supper', 'Defense Seed' and 'Power Seed'. Now return
and use the middle crystal. Examine the control panel in the center of the room
to find even MORE info about the Ark and all this good stuff.

Afterwards, continue and move up to the top floor using the elevator, where
you finally meet...

|   Strategy: The Almighty, one of the final bosses of the game. She is     |
|  just like the Agent, but way stronger. She attacks twice per turn, so    |
|  make preparations. Her Divinatal Motion is dangerous, dealing over 1,300 |
|  damage per attack, which can be fatal if she uses it twice in the same   |
|  turn. Make sure to pair up and heal using your Genes to completely heal. |
|  Make sure to use Cocytus at least once because she uses Cremate, but can |
|  also Bind you, so no Gene Commands if she does so.                       |
|                                                                           |
|   Besides that, nothing else to be afraid of. Risk Breaker deals around   |
|  1,000 damage, but hits her back for around 4,500 damage, which is good.  |
|  Procure keeping your HP above 3,000, just to be safe.                    |
|                                                                           |

Watch the lovely scene while listening to the amazing song and this brings us
to the second ending, in which we went through the Final Door. Awesome. Almost
there, almost there. We have to beat the other 3 stories (Zhamo/Eluca,
Olgar/Vahti and Ayuta/Mana) so we can complete the game, so keep on reading.

Just a little scene triggers as you press New Game and an eclipse takes place,
leaving the words behind:

                            C H A O S   R I N G S
                            ---------------------
                               D A Y B R E A K

A scene triggers where you meet Escher, Musiea and the other couples. Mmm.
Watch the scene and you're told about the controls. Very easy to remember, no?
Afterwards, talk to Zhamo. DO NOT speak to the pair in green yet. Leave 'em for
last. Instead, go right and speak to both couples. Now enter the room on the
right  and open the chest to find 'Vin Brûlée'.

  <vin> This allows you to revive either of the fallen members.

Leave the room, return to the main room and go left this time. Speak to the
other couple here. That's it to do now, so return and NOW speak to the couple
in green. This makes the story proceed triggering a rather awesome scene. Now
speak to all the characters.

Also, where you find Escher and Musiea, you'll also see a new character, Piu-
Piu. He's the merchant of the game. You don't have any Ohnz yet (OZ from here
on out), so examine the door, read the explanation about the levels and the
stages and enter...
