--- Ryokazendriel’s Baten Kaitos Origins FAQ ---

Before we get started!
Like the previous Baten Kaitos, Origins is spoiler-
ific!  Don’t read farther than you have to if you
doing want to be spoiled right to death.  That’s your
only warning!

Don’t know how to search?  You haven’t hung out at
gamefaqs long enough!  Try Cntrl-F to find what you
want.  Use the handy search tags in [brackets] in the
table of contents, or just search for the name of
whatever area you’re stuck in.

--- Updates ---
10/10/06 – Decided to post it, despite not being even
close to done, because people on the boards are lost
early, and I’ve got the walkthrough done through
Zaurak Keep.  Still only a few monsters in the Field
Guide (that thing takes FOREVER) and not all the
sidequests are fully complete.  But hopefully those
people who are stuck early on will find what they
need here.

10/11/06 – Added the HoloHolo bird, since I’ve seen a
lot of that going around the boards, and fleshed out
the Sidequest list some more.

10/16/06 – Through to the sidequest area, tried to
finish up the Sedna list, still missing one or two.

10/17/06 – Cross-referenced my own stupid-long
walkthrough to find the Sedna Magnus locations and
immigrants.  All done there. Next up, sidequests.

10/23/06 – I am DONE.  Well, with the main quest
proper, and I don’t know when Crazy will strike me
next to finish the Field Guide and the few Sidequests
I haven’t gotten to writing down.

>>>>>>>>>Intro, Tips, FAQs<<<<<< [A00]

I hate it when I’m stuck and there’s no walkthrough.
In these cases (counted: one, previously) I make one.

========Legal Stuff========= [A10]

I daresay no one with a single moral fiber would
plagiarize from a walkthrough, written only in the
spirit of platonic brotherly gamer-love, but here’s
the disclaimer anyway.  I, Ryokazendriel
Qin’Xanthanthalas, didn’t create this game, nor
profit from it; don’t sue.  I don’t profit from this
writing, but I did spend considerable time on it;
don’t steal it.  Finally, only gamefaqs.com is
allowed to post this on their site.  I hope you can
abide by those rules.

=======Should I Have Played the First One?======
[A20]

It’s not absolutely necessary.  I will make mention
of characters that show up in both, but as a prequel,
this one can hardly spoil Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings
and the Lost Ocean too badly.  They spoil eachother
to some degree, as you will see, so I’d say it
doesn’t matter what order you play them in.

=======Controls, Etc.========= [A30]

Lost the manual?  Bought a gimped copy with no
manual?  Look no further, here’s all the important
stuff contained therein.

---------------Walking [A31]

WORLD MAP:
Control stick: Move.  (Tilt softly: Sneak)
A Button: Confirm selection, jump, interact, etc.
B Button: Heartwing dash, cancel
C-Stick: Display / scroll quest magnus
X Button: Release quest magnus (when selecting quest
magnus)
Y Button: Camp menu
L / R Buttons: Switch with mixer (when selecting
quest magnus)
Start: Pause

SHOPS:
Buy: Regular old ’buy’ function.
Sell Junkpile: Sell all the magnus cards you’ve put
in your junkpile.
Upgrade: Upgrade battle magnus you already own using
gold, and sometimes quest magnus
Magnus Pack Coupons: Trade any coupons you’ve found
for 10 random battle magnus

THE ENDMOST BETHEL:
Class Upgrade: With enough TP, you can upgrade the
class of your deck, allowing you to carry more decks,
hold more cards in each deck, increase the MP Gauge
size, and increase the number of cards you can
discard in one turn.
Buy Aura: After collecting the necessary charms and
talismans, auras will be available for purchase.
Buying an aura negates any one you already have on,
so only get one at a time for a given character.

REMEMBER!
++ Heartwing dash is good stuff, but the bar fills
faster when there are enemies about. Don’t exhaust
yourself dashing away from enemies!

++ If you touch a sleeping enemy on the worldmap,
they’ll be asleep to start the battle.

++ You can do most quest magnus functions without
going into the camp menu screen.

++ Red save flowers just save.  Blue ones save and
teleport you to those esoteric locales.

---------------Stacking [A32]

Control Stick: Move cursor
A Button: Confirm selection / Move magnus
B Button: Cancel
C-Stick: Change window sizes
Y Button: Sort cards
X Button: Discard magnus card.
Z Button: Change info window size
L / R Button: Move from stock side to deck side, and
vice versa

REMEMBER!
++ You only have one deck!  All your characters are
played from it, so activate them all for every deck,
because you want to use them!

++ Use the Z button to open the info window and read
about the card, see its properties (attack, defense,
element, etc) and who can use it – their face will be
highlighted on the top right side.

++ As you move up in class, you can create multiple
decks for different situations using the same stock
cards, but you must still have only one active deck
that all your active characters are sharing.  This is
different from the last game.

++ The junkpile is for cards you don’t need and will
be sold en masse if you click ”Sell Junkpile” at a
magnus shop.  You can ’undelete’ these cards by going
to the junkpile and clicking A on them.

MORE ON CARD PROPERTIES:
++ An R in the upper right hand corner of a card
means that the equipment can be used in the middle of
a Relay Combo without disrupting it.

++ The MP cost of a card (if there is one) will be in
the middle, near the bottom in black.  For Sagi, it’s
written in a circle, for Guillo, a diamond, and for
Milly, a square.  If all three can use the card, it
will be in a triangle.

++ A green arrow appears in the upper left of cards
that have been upgraded.

++ The color of the card, naturally, gives an
indication of what element it is.

++ The elements: Fire, Ice, Lightning, Holy,
Darkness, Physical / Variable

---------------Fighting [A33]

Control Stick / D-Pad: Left-Right selects magnus
cards, Down initiates magnus sorting
A Button: Confirm selection
B Button: Discard magnus card
C-Stick: Switch between ready characters
X Button: Pass / Cancel Combo
Y Button: Release burst
Z Button: Show / hide magnus card info window
L / R Buttons: Change targets

REMEMBER!
++ Your choice in cards in one turn must always
ascend in spirit number (that number in the bottom
corner).  So start low and try and move sequentially
in order to max out your combos.  Using an item or
other card with no number means that’s the only card
you’ll use on that turn.

++ Equipment has a durability, shown near your
character’s info window at the top of the screen.
You needn’t be equipping something every turn,
because they’ll just replace what you had equipped.
Durability for armor goes down when you’re hit,
durability on weapons goes down for every strike you
make.  Special durability goes down in special cases.

++ B button is your friend, it frees up space in your
hand so you can draw something you actually will use.
The character discarding cards is ready again almost
immediately, especially if you’re just sitting around
waiting for everyone else to take their turn.  Don’t
forget that if you start discarding cards, you can’t
start using cards in the same turn, but discarding is
absolutely a must if you really need something, like
a healing item.  Don’t be hesitant to throw away
almost anything if you desperately need healing –
after all, all cards will simply cycle back into your
hand eventually.

++ There’s a ready list in the upper left hand corner
(a la FFX) and it also shows who’s standing where by
a line along the bottom.  Say, Sagi is on the left,
Guillo is in the middle, and Milly’s on the right; it
will represent their pictures similar to:
___Sagi
Guillo
Milly___
I hope you get what I’m saying.  Anyway it will help
you determine which enemy is actually up next.

++ The blue bar at the right of the cards is the MP
gauge, and there’s also a helpful voice that will
tell you when you busted through to the next MP
level.

++ The grey bar under each character’s green health
bar is their delay gauge, which counts down until
they’re ready again.

++ Once you reach Deck Class 7, you can use Burst.
Burst is when you’ve reached MP level 5 and activate
with the Y button.  You’ll be able to use things that
cost MP for free for a short period of time, so use
this opportunity to lay down the biggest combo ever.
When Burst is over, Mp goes to zero and doesn’t start
charging for a while.

++ You can sort magnus in your hand by pressing down
and moving it and pressing down again.

++ Relay combos are initiated when at least two of
your characters have turns in a row, and you’ve done
a combo up to spirit level 4 at least with the first
one.  If you have a weak attack (1) in your hand, the
word ’Relay!’ will appear on it, and you can chain
your attacks by choosing that card.  You’ll need to
target the same enemy of course, and equipping
something between will break the combo unless it has
an R in the upper corner.

STATUS AILMENTS:
Poison: HP will decrease over time for a set amount
of time
Flames: HP will decrease over time for a set amount
of time, ice defense is reduced.  Being hit with a
frost attack while enflamed will deal you lots of
damage, but the flames will be extinguished.
Freezing: Character will be unable to move for a set
amount of time, fire defense is reduced.  Being hit
with a fire attack while frozen will deal you lots of
damage, but the freezing status will be lifted.
Shock: Resistance to physical attacks is lowered, and
being struck will result in Down status.
Blind: Chance to hit with physical attacks lowered,
and being struck will result in Down status.
Sleep: Delay gauge will not count down for a set
amount of time.
Down: Delay gauge turns red for a time.

++ Down and incapacitated are especially bad for you,
as all the cards you have chosen for that character
to use before he/she/it goes down will all be
nullified and lost, and any combos you were in the
midst of are abruptly cancelled.  Extremely
aggravating.

--------------Mixing [A34]

Step 1) Select the Magna Mixer on the right (move
over there with R)
Step 2) Select two quest magnus to mix.

REMEMBER!
++ Mixing takes time.  Adding additional ingredients
beyond the first two also requires you to wait a
certain amount of time first.  You’ll need to get
into some battles, so I’d recommend the Coliseum if
you’re on a mixing spree.  There will be a little
bubble window pop-up in the corner of your field
screen when a magnus mixer wants attention – either
it’s done or wants another ingredient.

++ They won’t let you mix just anything together in
hopes of creating new recipes, so don’t worry on that
score.  However, if you’re mixing two ingredients and
don’t have the third (or more) ingredients on hand
when the mixture asks for it (represented by a !) the
mixture will eventually rot on you.

++ Finally, remember that you can’t cancel a mix and
get your ingredients back.  Once you put them in,
they’re as good as gone whatever else happens.

++ Quest magnus can decay in time, disappearing
entirely or morphing into different quest magnus –
quite often less desirable ones (rotten food, stale
water, etc) so check your stash at least once in a
while to get rid of stuff that’s keeping you down.
These things can lower your stats, so get rid of
them.

++ Quest magnus also react to what’s next to them in
the ordering, so sort them as necessary.  For
example, rotten food will quickly rot any food in the
slots adjacent to it, and sunlight will mature
flowers, etc.  You’ll see a purple arrow from the
quest magnus to whatever slots it is affecting.

++ Some quest magnus have properties that aid you in
battle or raise some stats, just for carrying them
around.  For example, carrying around a Blaze makes
you less prone to being frozen in battle.  But
beware, carrying other things around, like Fluella
will lower your stats and resistances.

++ That Next-Gen Mixer is, in fact, faster at mixing
than the regular old one.  Whaddya know.


=======Tips============ [A40]

---------------Menu

Want to see just the info you want to see?  Use the
C-Stick in the menu to change window sizes, and the Z
button to show or hide information windows.

---------------Sidequest Menu

Hate trying to remember who’s in what town and wants
what stray item?  Can you never recall things like
‘the woman in the second house in Mintaka wants a
Fluffy Pillow’?  Your days of playing Baten Kaitos
with an open notebook at your side are over!  Baten
Kaitos: Origins comes pre-equipped with a handy
Sidequest menu that keeps track of all these things
for you!  Just go in and read all about it.  Even
reminisce fondly over sidequests you’ve already
completed!  Yes, the new and improved Sidequest menu
solves all your questing problems!

------------------Sidequest Upkeep

I’m not going to tell you when and where to perform
every single little sidequest, I’m sure you can find
the time.  Just remember to take a break from the
main quest every so often when opportunity hits you
to go to all the hot spots.  Level up at the Endmost
Bethel, practice your moves and mix things while at
the Coliseum, and don’t forget to drop things off at
Sedna.  You won’t be sorry you did.

-----Tips on Creating Decks and Battling [A41]----

----------------Monster weaknesses

Also included in the new Baten Kaitos: Origins!  A
field guide (after you talk to the Doc in Sheratan)
that lists all the monsters you may encounter in a
given area.  Stack your decks to their weaknesses for
maximum efficiency.  Don’t have yours filled out and
need some insider tips?  Scroll down to the bottom of
the FAQ for a home-made version listed by yours
truly! (unfinished thus far!)

------------------Discarding Cards

Done discarding after a few cards?  Hit X to be done
with your turn and not wait for the timer to expire.
The fewer cards you discard, the quicker it will be
your turn again, also!

------------------Burst

Having trouble making the most out of your burst?  It
will last as long as you keep up a Relay Combo, so
it’s best to hit it when all your characters are
ready to go, and you have a healthy stack of ones and
higher techs ready.  Of course it helps if you HAVE
ones and higher techs in your deck.  And not techs of
the same number, either, since you can’t use two of
those in one turn.

-----------------Shorter Decks

Just because you can have 60 cards doesn’t mean you
need 60 cards.  The cards will cycle without pause,
so if you only have, say, 5 potions, and you want
them to come up more often, just make a deck with
fewer cards.

----------------Relay Combos

The same goes for Relay Combos.  Just because you
can, doesn’t mean you should.  A combo will always
hit the same guy, no matter if he’s dead or not, so
maybe your turn would be better spent healing, or
hitting the next guy, if you’re sure the first one is
going down.  Of course, if you desperately want to do
a 20 card, 5600+ damage combo to a stupid single
soldier, I’m not about to stop you.


=======FAQs=========== [A50]

--------------- I’m stuck!  Can you help me?

These things happen.  That’s what walkthroughs are
for.  Don’t want to read it?  Then here’s what to
try:
1)      Talk to everyone you can possibly talk to,
twice.  Sometimes the game won’t let you go on
until you do
2)      Gather all the magnus from the area you can
possibly gather, twice.  Sometimes just getting
it is enough, sometimes you have to use it on
other things.
3)      Search every nook and cranny.  Just cover every
inch until you get an “!” that you haven’t
clicked before.
4)      Did you forget what you were doing entirely?
Check your journal magnus for a reminder, or
check the sidequest menu for something to do.

-------------Which answer should I choose when Sagi
asks me things?

I want to say it doesn’t matter, and in a large
sense, it doesn’t.  In terms of storyline, it often
makes very little difference what answer you give,
and I’ll try and clue you in at that time in the
walkthrough if it does.

The real answer is, the more you agree with Sagi, the
‘luckier’ you are in drawing your magnus during
battle.  You’ll see the effects when, for example,
your party is hurting for some healing, and the
‘next’ card magically changes from an attack to a
healing potion, and so on and so forth.  It’s not an
exact science (as far as I’m concerned or willing to
go for typing up a walkthrough) so just answer what
you feel like and try not to be too much of a
contradicting S.O.B.  As a reminder, nobody likes
contradicting S.O.B.’s in real life, either.  It’ll
be good practice.

------------Your walkthrough isn’t helping me!

Well, (1) that’s not a question, (2) that’s not very
nice since I went to all this trouble to try and help
and (3) perhaps you can’t be helped.

The real answer is that I can’t read your mind, and
neither am I forcing you to read my walkthrough at
gunpoint.  Go read somebody else’s then.  I won’t cry
if you do.  There’s no sense in complaining about it.

------------You just breezed by a boss and I can’t
beat him!

Also, not a question, but I’ll let it pass.  Firstly,
I included the Field Guide at the bottom, take a look
and see if that monster or boss has any elemental
weaknesses and stack your deck accordingly.

Secondly, a lot of the boss battles are the type
where you can ‘try again’ should you fail.  But most
of them are also battles you can’t win in terms of
storyline, so if you’re only doing something like 10
wimpy damage, don’t get too worried, you’re supposed
to be relatively outmatched.  Just bring a lot of
Fate Idols to revive your party when they die, lots
of healing potions to heal them when they get smacked
around, and do damage when you can until the
storyline determines that it’s time for you to go
down.

Short of me coming over there and playing your game
for you, I’m not sure what more I can do.  Don’t
forget to save often!

------------I die like crazy, even against normal
yokels.  Am I doing something wrong?

Unless you’re not getting off card combos due to
terminal slowness in clicking, the problem must
inevitably lie in your deck stacking.  Let’s
investigate.

++ Do you have enough attacks?  Most every other card
besides the actual attack cards (spirit numbers 1, 2,
3, etc) are non-attack cards, meaning, they don’t do
your opponent damage.  Even high level spirit cards
(4, 5, 6) should be lead in by a series of weaker
attacks.  If you find yourself drawing more equipment
than attacks, something’s not right in your magnus
deck, as equipment has a certain durability and
doesn’t always need to be changed each turn.

++ Are you using the wrong element?  Your deck may be
stacked heavily in favor of one element, and if the
enemies are resistant to that particular element, you
will do little to no damage.

++ Are you performing combos?  The more cards you use
in one turn, the more damage you rack up.  Relay
Combos require you to have used a higher tech, and
have a weak attack (1) ready for the next character
who acts (no enemies acting in between).  You’ll see
a big RELAY across the 1 when it’s available.  You
can use equipment before that 1 as long as it has an
R in the upper corner.  Otherwise it will break your
Relay!

++ Do you want to try easy mode?  The monsters won’t
attack while you’re choosing, so I hear.


>>>>>>>>>Walkthrough<<<<<<<<< [B00]

>>>>>>>>>Disc 1<<<<<<<<

=========Alfard============= [B10]

Welcome to the game.  Try to keep in mind that Sagi
is *talking* to you.  You are playing no character
other than yourself.  You are supposed to be separate
from Sagi, the blue-haired main character.  You are
nothing more than a guiding spirit and he is the only
one that can hear your advice.

--------------Dark Service HQ [B11]

Sagi is a soldier.  You don’t know why yet.  Let the
mystery be for now and get us to the meeting room.
That’s the one outside the room, up the stairs, and
down the hall before the exit stairs.  You needn’t
worry yourself with anything else around.

You’ll hear the mission briefing.  Afterwards, feel
free to poke around, talk to folk, think out loud to
yourself.  Most of the decisions you make as the
‘guiding spirit’ do little in the way of storyline,
but I’ll try to let you know when they do.

When you try to leave, you get your eight blank
magnus that folks from the previous game will know
and love.  A fire will helpfully break out near the
front of the room, and you’ll need to put it out with
some well-placed water.  Check out the barrels near
the door and grab some essence of Stale Water.  Run
up to the fire and investigate that to use the Stale
Water on the flames.  You use the C-Stick to move
about in the magnus window, just to let you know.

Outside, you get into your first battle.  Things are,
of course, straightforward, and if you just don’t get
it at all, you’ll have to scroll up to where I talked
about the battle system.

You’ll want to head downstairs and exit stage left to
get your ‘paramachina’ but right away you know that
something’s fishy, since yours can mysteriously talk
(it’s the one that’s blue on the right side).  Head
back outside and upstairs near the exit stairs and
talk to the guy in the corner by the extinguished
torch.  He will give you a wimpy assignment to light
four torches.  There’s two on each floor, and you can
get some fire in any room from one of the lights.  Do
that and get your measly reward before you go up the
stairs to begin the mission.

---------------Emperor’s residence [B12]

A bit of talking ensues, but the final product is
that we are on our way inside.  There’s a fight, and
then you learn a bit about sneaking.  Just tilt the
controller softly, it’s nothing that you haven’t done
before, right?

In the main hall, there’s a fountain – you’ll need
some water – and a few doors.  On the right side,
there’s some soldiers who have brutalized a visiting
engineer, so brutalize them a bit to get the key to
the place.  Wake up the engineer with some water, and
he’ll thank you.  Ask him about the crestwall (you’ll
need to have at least looked at it outside and up the
stairs) and he’ll be glad to help, as long as you
have a chunk of rubber.

In the room on the left, you’ll find two sleeping
guards.  One of them is conveniently sleeping propped
up against a large stack of rubber!  Sneak over there
and nab some and sneak back out.  Give the rubber to
the engineer and watch the sparks fly.  Might as well
save your game on the right there.

Run up and watch yourself a cutscene.  Afterwards,
make a break for it across the way into the next
hall.  You’ll have a boss battle burst through the
walls on you.  You’ll lose, but you’ll have to do
enough damage to satisfy the storyline.  Another
cutscene ensues, in which you are magically
transported to...

=========Otherworld========= [B20]

----------Albali Sandhollow [B21]

Ah, now it’s getting interesting.  Let’s just go with
it for now.  Follow those guys until you lose sight
of them.  You’ll see a nice dungeon-map with a few
bright red spots.  If you trek your way to the red
spot in the middle, Sagi will tell you that you
certainly can’t wing-jump that far.  Time to figure
this one out.

Using your magnus to suck up some magnetite waves
will de-magnetize the red rocks and the blue sand
will fall away.  Using the magnetite waves on de-
magnetized rocks will re-form blue sand bridges and
walls.  Get it?

Where you want to go is around to the right and under
the overhang to the next screen down.   You’ll need
to suck up the magnetite waves from both sides of the
ravine to be able to pass.  Next you’ll have to
approach the big boulder of blue sand at the bottom
from the right, and push it over until it sticks to
the big pile of magnetite waves.  Take some magnetite
waves to the top screen where Sagi was saying earlier
he couldn’t jump.

-----------Rasalas Village [B22]

When you get to the village, the goal here is to
speak with *every single person* in order to move on.
There are:
1)      Two people chatting near the entrance to the
village
2)      One person looking at the lake, who speaks
about reflections
3)      One person in the bottom left, who talks about
travelers
4)      Two people in the back, who are talking about
their relationship
5)      One person walking around the back, who’s a
geologist
6)      One person in the left house, near the front
door
7)      One person in the left house, in the kitchen,
who talks about food
8)      One person in the left house, in the back,
watching the baby
9)      One baby in the left house, in the back,
crawling around
10)     Two old people sitting at the table in
the first house
11)     One person in the kitchen in the first
house
12)     One person in the magnus shop

And… anyone else I may have forgotten.  The point is,
you need to talk with everyone.  After that, your
scene will automatically shift.

=========Mintaka===========  [B30]

Your cutscene will take you to the sewers under
Mintaka (there’s a chest before you go down, don’t
forget it).  There seems to be nothing you can do
about the prisoners, but you can jump into the sewer
water for some chests that hold pretty iffy magnus.
At any rate, head across and jump up.  Might as well
agree with Sagi, he’s not going back into those
sewers for no good reason.

Head north and left through the archway.  Go into the
house at the top of the screen.  There’s a woman, two
kids, and a maid in there.  Talk to the maid until
she dishes out some of Yesterday’s News, which you’ll
need to pick up with an empty magnus.

Here’s the key: talk to her *again* and get another
magnus worth of Yesterday’s News, and she’ll be much
relieved.  Enough relieved to let you get away with
pilfering some of her Machina Oil on the left, on the
stove.  Grab some of that, that’s the important
stuff.

Cruise around town to the left and south, dodging or
fighting guards at your leisure.  The man with a
breakdown on the next screen will be grateful for
some Machina Oil, so hand it over.  Go on in (there’s
a chest in the bottom left corner) and go upstairs.

To the south will be a chest with Firewheel in it,
and a house that has a magna mix recipe in the chest
of drawers on the right.

Your exit is to the north, over the rooftops.  Make a
route around the city clockwise over the roofs,
picking up treasures along the way.  Jump down at the
other side and save at the flower, because there’s a
long battle coming up.

You’ll be stopped near the Mintaka Dock by an army’s
worth of soldiers, and you’ll have to fight
consecutive battles to get out.  Finally a sub-boss
of sorts will show up to challenge you, and Milliarde
will come to your aid, and you’ll all escape to
Hassaleh.

=========Hassaleh=========== [B40]

There’s people to talk to at the Hassaleh dock, but
they don’t say much interesting.  Grab an apple, is
all the advice I have to give here.

---------------Thornwood [B41]

Head north into the thornwood and into the alcove on
the left to get the glowing bean.  It’s pretty
obvious that you want it.  Circle around to the north
and right and use the bean on the wimpy vine there to
get it to grow.  Now that you’re able to walk over
it, head across and through to the next screen.  The
man there will tell you the rock blocks the way.
You’ll need another Yesterbean, but where to get one?

You’ll need to pop the pink creature that rolls away
from you when you approach.  Make your way back to
the first screen, then up and around so you exit on
the upper right side.  When you get back to the
right-hand screen, move down and jump up onto the
ledge and exit back to the left-hand screen.  You
should be in front of that thorny green ball.  Push
it (just run up against it) until it falls down
below, into the pink guy’s path.  Then, go back the
way you came and chase him until he pops.  What a
terrible way to kill wildlife!

Use your newly obtained bean on the rock (the vines
near it, to be specific) and exit north.  They stop
to talk, then exit right to get out of this dungeon
and over to Sheratan.

---------------Sheratan Village [B42]

Trigger a few scenes by walking forward a bit.  Only
after that, can you explore the town.

The magnus shop is on your right, just talk to the
girl to get her moving.  The Doc gives you a Field
Guide to fill in.  Woo, gathering quests.  Grab a
Quickfreeze cap from the chest in here and move out.

On the next screen to the right, run over to Gena and
have a cut scene.  First thing after the cut scene,
study the table for a mix recipe.  Also, check the
bunkbeds for another mix recipe and a magnus coupon.
Talk to Tik and Wacho to the right to gain a quickie
find-the-hat quest.  Sis in the bottom right corner
will give you your first lead, and the girl outside
on the slide will tell you to try the elder’s house,
but the hat is actually at the left of where you came
into the village, behind the so-called “Vault Guard”,
if you really must know.  You’ll need a mountain
apple to bribe the kid into letting you into the
“vault” to find the hat.  When you return it to Tik,
he and Wacho make up and you get an Adhesive Bandage.

Before you finish up in the village, talk to the
caplin herder to get the quest for the black caplin.
Then, go into the house under the Brierclock and
search the blue beds for another recipe, and talk to
the weird old man about greythornes.  Also, talk to
the girl in the back near the altar to pick up
another quest.  That ought to put Lake Botein on your
map.  Then go grab the two chests at the bottom of
the screen before running into the house on the
right.  The shelves in the upper left hand corner
hold a magna mix recipe.  Lastly, the girl just
outside the orphanage is willing to make a magna
trade.

(Lake Botein)
Just inside, there’s a sparkle on the ground.  Click
on it to pick up a strange magnus and go report back
to the Elder’s granddaughter in front of the altar.
She’ll give you the magnus mixer and a Will for your
troubles, and asks you to come back later.  Back to
the orphanage for the night.  And a suspicious cut-
scene, but having played the previous Baten Kaitos,
we’re all well aware that nothing is as it seems…

(Sheratan Village)
In the morning, Gena tells you to take a trip around
the village, as if it weren’t only two screens wide.
Talk to Sis in the corner, who will ask you to drop
by the neighbor’s for some thornflower nectar.  Next
door in this case to mean the southernmost house, on
the other side of the fence.  Sis will give you a
magnus and an Element Charm Lv. 1.

The following day will bring another cut scene of
Sagi sleeping in and Wacho and Tik telling you about
the lake monster.  Time to go deal with it.  You can
get cottoncap fruit from talking with Tik, if you
like.  Get yourself ready for battle.

---------------Lake Botein [B43]

Talk to Wacho to get an idea of how to jump, and to
Tik to find out about photosynth lilies.

Go left to start things off, after grabbing as many
photosynth lilies as you can carry.  Charge the
Ogobogo creature just in front of you to reveal a
chest with Flametongue after its defeat.  Jump down
the ladderway there and into the water.  There’s some
idiot who can’t swim there.  Not sure what to do
about him.  You can give him a photosynth lily, but
he doesn’t go anywhere after that.  Heck, trying
giving him a lot of photosynth lilies, at your
leisure.

The wall in question is the one at the back, go back
there and push it for all your worth, using up lilies
as necessary.  The room above will light up when
you’re done.  Go back to the right side and do the
same thing, only now it’s a suspicious-looking box
instead of a guy.  If you give it a few lilies, the
box will give you 200G.

After moving both walls, the water level will drop
and Tik and Wacho will identify people who need help.
You can only help Tik’s guy for now.  We’ll be right
back.  There’s a chest under the stairs, and a new
save flower to the north end.  Clicking on the winged
statue will bring you downstairs.  Nobody seems dead,
but here comes our monster friend.  Wings and weapons
out, let’s get it on.

Well, honestly, you’re going to lose this one as
well, but you’ve got to hold your own for a little
while at least.  They’ll give you ‘try again’ screens
if you lose in some cases with boss monsters, so
don’t stress too hard.  You can even change up your
battle deck when you try again.

More cut scene speculation follows.  Get some water
from the lake there and splash it on the village
elder to get a mini-sub-quest to find the four
villagers and wake them all up. He’ll give you a
coupon right off the bat for it.  We already know
where they are, so let’s get to it.  The woman right
next to him will wake up and give you potion for just
clicking on her, but the man upstairs we left behind
earlier will need some water, so get some more before
you leave.  He’ll give you the Lightning Club.
You’ll need to fight another monster for the third
guy and a whole room full of them to get the girl out
of the crate in their respective rooms.  The girl
gave me a mattress and an extra 200G for giving her
the lily back when.  Go back down to see the elder.
He gives you a Saber and a Guard Charm.

Everyone urges you back to the village, but don’t you
get a sense of unease about the whole idea?  I did.

Yet again, you can’t win the next battle, so do
damage until they knock you flat in a cutscene you
and don’t sweat it.

========Otherworld====== [B50]

Where are we?  This isn’t a faq to question life’s
mysteries, this is to get you through the game.
Ponder it on your own time.

--------------Sandfeeder’s Nest [B51]

Don’t let their talk worry you.  The sandfeeders are
huge green caterpillars and they won’t let you wander
into a battle with them randomly.  First here go
left, head down, get a chest, stock up on some
magnetite waves, and go down again for another chest.
Down here there is a sleeping something that you
cannot wake up either way, and a sandfall of pink
dust.  Grab some of that.  We’ll be needing it.

Now head back up to where you were and head right.
You’ve cleared the way of blue sand, and when you get
down close enough to encounter the Sandfeeder
(passing an Orvata on your way) use the pink sand and
walk on by.

When you get down to the screen below you’ll notice
eventually that you’ll be needing two magnus’ worth
of magnetite waves.  So head back up and go into the
hole the Sandfeeder was sticking out of.  There’s
some sneakily hidden back there.

On the next screen down take the left path and
recharge the two red stone areas with magnetite
waves.  Run around quick and go down to the red
flower and save.  Go down from there and enter boss
battle with the very thing we’ve spent all this time
avoiding.

After the battle you obtain a level 2 ice attack
(Icebloom) for Sagi and the Sedna Bridge.  There is
yet more mysterious talk, and your friends wander
off.  Before you follow them, grab some Sandfeeder
silk from the corpse (you can come back for it later,
though) before you and fly up the platforms behind it
to get the Crystal Edge card for Sagi.

-----------Hassaleh Wrap-Up [B52]

Now’s a good time to check out that Sedna Bridge
magnus, so remind Sagi about the rest of the village
and he’ll go out and take a look.  Buy magnus, talk
to villagers as you please, but drop by the blue
flower to get a feel for the new Sedna Village,
though there’s not much to do there as of yet.  Once
you’re done, go back to the orphanage and click on
the table to do some planning.

I’ll tell you in about three more paragraphs that you
need two cottoncap fruits combined to form a fluffy
pillow, so maybe you’ll want to pick some of those up
from the flowerbed in the left bottom corner of the
orphanage before you go.  Just warning you in
advance.

Before you leave for Alfard, now might be a good time
to find that black caplin.  It’s in the thorn forest
near the end, where you pushed the rock aside
earlier.  You can also get a Yesterbean and grow the
thorns near it to get some Thornflowers.

=========Alfard======== [B60]

-----------Mintaka [B61]

The man crouching near the house on your way in will
give you Coliseum Dog Tags, which you can try out at
the nearby blue flower on the dock.  Inside the first
house here is a man who needs some Love!  We’ll be
back for him.  I’m just telling you so you can flesh
out your Sidequest menu.

The first door on your right on the second screen is
the magnus shop.  The next house will contain the
same woman you might have heard on your last visit,
complaining of not having a pillow.  Now I’m not sure
you did this back on Hassaleh, but two cottoncap
fruits combined will form a fluffy pillow for her.
She will give you a Life Charm and a Magnus Pack
Coupon in return.

------------Greater Mintaka [B62]

Head out to the world map via the south west exit.
Run over to Greater Mintaka to catch a glimpse of the
funeral.  There are two houses on either side of the
stairs.  In the right one, search the table on the
left for a coupon.  In the left one, there are two
chests with magnus geared for Milly.

Let me put an aside here for these spinning freaks in
the right-side house.  The mix recipe you’ll get here
involves soot, and there is soot to be had in the
bottom right corner from those jars, though you
probably don’t have five slots to spare, hanging on
to all that soot.  If you do mix the soot together,
you’ll get a pretty stone, and the spinning guy does
mention wanting a stone.  As you’ll see later in the
sidequest walkthrough, you can combine the pretty
stone with a blaze to make it a Fireglow stone, but
giving it to the guy only yields a battle shield, of
all things.

On the next level on the left and right are more
residences.  Exiting to the right up here will take
you to the Emperor’s residence, which Sagi won’t go
to.  Through the right door there’s a chest on the
left side of the room, and a magna mix recipe in the
chest on the right.  Might as well inspect the bamboo
fountain and grab some water, you’ll need some in a
few.

On the left side of the second floor are two
residences Sagi can’t enter yet, so head up to the
speech area.

Look out – terrorists!  Man.  Video games emulating
life?  Anyhow, let’s help.  You’ll need some Water to
put out the lady running around, some ‘fruit fit for
an emperor’, a Med Kit, and a whole lot more Water to
put out the fire.

Let’s start with the lady on fire.  I told you to
bring some water, didn’t I?  Now, talk to everyone
else to find out what they need, especially the
little girl in blue lying on the ground.  She needs a
Med Kit.

Run down the stairs and to the second level house on
the left.  Talk to the guard to convince him to let
you enter.  The crate in the upper right corner
contains the med kit you need.  Try to grab the fruit
also, and the girl will tell you her sister has some.

Her sister is the girl right at the foot of the
stairwell on the middle level.  Tell her you need
fruit and she’ll have some available for you.  Give
each person what they need, and take three batches of
water (at once) to the big fire to put it out.
You’ll get a coupon for your reward.

-------------Quaestor Verus’ Residence [B63]

The name of the guy was Geldoblame, in case you have
a memory like a sieve or the attention span of a
hummingbird.  Insults aside, follow him in and get to
talking.  You’ll need to choose ‘think about it’, in
case you want to agree with Sagi.  In the room, there
are two chests, and you’ll have to use the bed to
trigger another talk sequence where Milly suggests
going to Azha.  Hey, why not.

========Azha=========== [B70]

-------------Nihal Desert [B71]

Ahh, the desert.  Well, we won’t get far without some
snow, eh?  Why don’t you buy some.  It’s not like
you’re short on money, is it?  It will help you run
like normal, instead of gimping along.  It’s a long,
long way if you’re staggering the whole way.  Just
hit A anywhere when the magnus window is not up, and
Sagi will automatically suggest you use some.  You’ll
need at least one more than the one you’ve already
used to make it through to the oasis.

Follow the road, and on the second screen you’ll meet
up with a man who thinks there’s a shortcut there.
But there’s more to be had along to the road, so
follow along with me for a bit.

On the next screen, another traveler will tell you
that water will have essentially the same effect as
snow, and since you have some spare slots from using
up snow, why don’t you grab some.  You’ll probably
need at least one or two more to get you through to
the end, if you have no more snow.

On the screen after that, a man wants some rock salt,
but doesn’t lack the necessary ‘rocks’ himself to go
and get it.  Might as well agree, he’ll give you some
snow and a Hell-Purged Casque for doing it, and it’s
not even hard to avoid the monsters.

On the very next screen, you can run up to the rock
there and obtain some rock salt for your very own, if
that’s what you want.

On the final screen, there’s a woman who’s the
complement to the man selling ice up front.  She asks
you to take some flame ice to her husband, all the
way back across the desert.  It’s not that far, why
don’t you agree?  The flame ice will enable you to
run as if you had unlimited snow, so you don’t need
any more.

She also instructs you to run straight north the
whole way in order to pass through the sunlight to
soften the ice.  Do exactly that, and you can pick up
some sunlight while you’re at it.  When you’ve
exhausted everything you want to do in here, let’s
move on out through the south exit.

-----------------Azha [B72]

Up on the platform in the town center is the rock
salt vendor – you’ll have to cut around the back and
fly up there.  All he gives you is magnus in return
for rock salt, though, and after that, 150G, 140G,
and then you stop in disgust, clearly.

The first hollow on the right has the magnus shop,
the second leads down into the mines.  The first exit
to the north here in the mines will take you to the
kid jogging in place, who will request of you some
‘eau de mouche’.  Why don’t you agree and move over
to the right where the lab is.

There’s a magna mix recipe in each of the tanks with
handles in the lab, and another in the big steel part
at the bottom right side.  The guy in purple will
tell you about eau de mouche, but of course will not
give you any.  It’s the guy in red walking about that
has it, but he wants – guess what – his ‘favorite
snack’.  What is that, pray tell?  Try the guy in the
upper left corner and the greenish guy pacing on the
right for some clues.  The jogging kid in pink who
gave you the quest in the first place will give you
another hint.  The running messenger girl only stands
still when she’s delivering a message, so you have to
talk to her then.  You get a Fire Fruit for finishing
the subquest.

The hollow in the back of town leads to a large
anthill-like area where people work and live.  It
seems pretty big at first, but the right and center
tunnels more or less lead in a circle.  The left
tunnel looks like an exit but is just a dead end
where you get a magnus pack coupon.  Up the right
side there’s a residence with not much going on, and
another exit to the north.  Up here there’s another
residence with another dead-end tunnel that takes you
to a Flame Hood on the right.  Moving to the left and
down, there’s a gun powder factory of sorts, and the
main lady will ask you to find her assistant and get
the saltpeter (the assistant is under the desk in the
lab, you get a Medium Attack B for completing the
subquest).  On the left is another small tunnel that
will take you to an Icebloom, and the exit to the
south will take you back to the hall where those two
guys are fighting.

The hollow on the left leads to the three-story
residence area.  Almarde is on the first level,
talking with Milly.  After a quick talk, head
upstairs and circle around to the left to get to the
second floor.  Here, you’ll talk about your decision
and meet Bein, one of the leaders of the town.  In
the chest there is yet another Firewheel!  Farther up
the stairs there’s a lot of people milling about, and
there’s a magna mix recipe in the pink jar against
the north wall

(Quaestor Verus’ Residence)
When you’re done exploring (and I recommend that you
be done, because this place isn’t as friendly the
next time you’re here), head to the exit of the town
and meet up with the others.  Travel back to Quaestor
Verus’ place and go back to your room for a nap.
Looks like we work for the Quaestor now.  Did we have
any other choice, really?

He gives you a cell phone – er, ‘machina
communicator’ – which is really taking up space in
your precious few magnus slots.  Luckily, he also
gives you eight more blank magnus.  Woo!

-----------Azha, take 2 [B73]

Back in Azha, the atmosphere has changed.  Let’s
investigate, but you might want to drop by the right-
side hollow to open that chest that Juwar prevented
you from getting earlier.  It had a Red Padma (II) in
it.

In the three-story building on the left, after
talking to Lyuvann, there are two people on the first
floor, three on the second, and a whole host of them
on the third, but you can’t reach them.  Don’t forget
to ask everyone in the mines on the right-hand hollow
from the town center, and then report back to
Lyuvann.

Go investigate the bomb site for more clues.  Did you
forget where it was?! It’s at the very top of Greater
Mintaka, for crying out loud, you were just there.
The boy will give you a machina part that you’ll want
to take back to Mallo (Azha, left hollow, first
floor).  Once Mallo identifies it as a bomb
detonator, go tell Lyuvann that you have evidence and
he’ll gather the villagers together.

What follows is not exactly Law and Order, but play
along.  Tell them you have evidence, and show the
detonator. After a Spartacus-style scene, it’s time
for a little more legwork, in the tradition of
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.

The main people you want to talk to are Juwar (second
floor, left side) and Nollin (mines, right side).  To
be more specific, talk to Nollin and ask him exactly
how he set the bomb.  Tell Sagi you think his
testimony is ‘suspicious’ and then go talk to Mallo
(our bomb expert, first floor, left side).  Take her
testimony and tell Lyuvann you have evidence.  He’ll
round up the villagers, again (it’s terrible) and
you’ll accuse Nollin of lying, presenting Mallo’s
testimony as evidence.

In round three of Homeland Inquisition, why don’t you
talk to Almarde (lady in green, first floor).  She
gives you vaguely helpful advice, which you take back
to Lyuvann automatically.  Now, you’ll want to talk
to our three suspects, Mallo, Bein, and Juwar again.
Listen to Juwar twice to hear him speak about setting
the bomb in a building, but we all know the bomb was
in an airpod, so store his testimony and report back
to Lyuvann.  Might want to save first, though, and
get all your magnus upgrading done with all that free
flame ice.  Heck, why don’t you pick one up and carry
it around, since you’ve got at least four spare
magnus slots, right?

Assemble the villagers, AGAIN, and finger Juwar as
the lying party in this case.  Present his testimony
as evidence and things go right to hell in a
handbasket in Japan’s extra-slow dramatic fashion.
Guess we’re supposed to follow, so head down for some
more catastrophe.

Move all the way right and automatically pick up 3
magna’s worth of Eau de Mouche.  (Again, I hope you
had three empty slots).  In the lab, those guards are
still being pissants, so use your communicator to
call in your higher-ups to deal with it.

--------------Lava Caves [B74]

Swing to the left side of the screen and take on that
baddy there.  You have made an Ice Deck, haven’t you?
Anyhow, you can get the Sedna Toadstones from him,
and there’s a chest with an ice cudgel in it behind
him.

Over by the jet of steam, use the eau de mouche on
the burner and watch the bugs sadly sacrifice
themselves for your sake.  Check out that little hole
they flew into.  You can get corpses!  Yum!  But the
real key is that you should grab as many as you can
carry, because those three eau de mouche’s aren’t
going to be enough to get all the treasures we crave.
Take those corpses back out to the guy in red who
trades them for more eau de mouche.  You’ll need two
more to get through the caves and get treasures,
another if you want to make antiseptic ointment (with
thornflower nectar, which should have decayed from
that thornflower I told you to pick up earlier) and a
woman later will want another eau de mouche, just to
give you a heads up.

On the next screen to the east, take the north path
first, and use a eau de mouche to get the chest,
there’s a level 2 technique for Milly in there called
Diamond Drop.  It’s ice-flavored, too!  Next, go to
the south path, grab the chest for a middle potion,
and use another eau de mouche on the burner there to
kill the rockflies and have them create a bridge for
you.

Go north and around to the west and south and cross
your bridge of corpses.  Yum!  On the other side
you’ll find a chest blocked by rockflies and a
burner, so use some more eau de mouche and then get
the chest.  It’s a level 2 ice attack for Guillo,
what convenience.  Next you have to create another
bridge of corpses to cross with yet another eau de
mouche.  You might want to sneak your way up to the
sleeping enemy up this incline here.

There’s a red flower up here, naturally right before
a boss battle.

=========Otherworld [B80]

Go back into the room on the left and search the
globe for a Sedna Mailbox.  Then move to the room on
the right for a talk scene with Pieda.

Up the stairs, you see an argument.  On the left is
the magnus shop and on the right are more people to
talk to.  Up on deck there’s a chest and a blue save
flower.  Exiting to the south will bring us to a
revealing talk sequence and then straight back to the
Lava Caves.


=========Alfard [B90]

---------------Lava Caves [B91]

Back, and already faced with a boss battle with a
lava fish while the whole place crumbles around our
ears.  Fabulous!  This fish battle is considerably
easier than your last battle here, but don’t be too
quick to judge.  Sagi and the others agree to get the
hell out of dodge, and so you begin to backtrack your
path.  Might as well save again at that red flower,
because your travails are not yet over.

Yes!  The fish is back for more!  The second round
seems to have upped the ante slightly, and after you
win, you take a measly three more steps before it’s
back yet again!  This third time (it’s blocking a
bridge) you get some nice cards – Arabesque, Empyreal
Wildfire, and Sedna House 1.  Trample on his corpse
in a show of disrespect as you leave this place!

-------------Alfard Wrap-Up [B92]

Outside in Azha, you can talk to Almarde to get a
quest for some medical supplies – you can give her
the antiseptic oil you’ve likely made from
thornflower nectar and eau de mouche, and she’ll give
you a magnus pack coupon.  Then she’ll give you
another quest for some snow.  Hey, just pop over and
buy some.  As a final result, you’ll be able to pick
up on their … covert relationship.  Pick that up, I
think his wife wants to hear it back in Mintaka (the
northernmost house). Also you can pick up the
Terrible Song from the singing man, but that’s about
all that’s new around here.

Go back to Greater Mintaka to talk to Verus,  and he
will direct you to talk to Baelheit.  Baelheit’s
house, if you don’t remember, is in Mintaka proper,
all the way in the northeast corner.

When you get inside, you can follow your ungracious
host or take a detour to rob the house of valuables.
There’s a chest in the left bedroom, another in the
library, and a magnus mix recipe by the sleeping man
in the library as well.  There’s also a chest in the
soldier’s room.

After speaking with Baelheit himself, he forces you
to leave without the two chests in his room, but I
swear I’ll be back for those.  Just you wait.

Now that you’re not a wanted man, you can re-enter
the Emperor’s house.  Way back at the rear of where
we were before is the armory.  There’s a Thunder
Element and a Full Plate in there, as well as a chest
full of Pretty Stones. Anyhow, back to Verus’, who
sends you off to Diadem, but not before you obtain a
letter.

=========Diadem======== [C10]

---------------Sheliak [C11]

You could probably explore the town, but we’ll get to
that all in good time.  Celsica is the suspect one
here.  Follow her.

Really want to know what’s going down in town?
Here’s the skinny.

The house on the right has a magnus pack coupon
behind the fireplace, while the house on the left has
a chest with Heavenfall and a magnus mix recipe on
the bottom-left corner table.  This joint-house also
has a small sidequest involving feuding in-laws that
you can do simply by talking to the woman on the left
side, then the women on the right.  All you get is
Fate’s Cordial, though.  But hey, you’ve mended a
broken family, give yourself a pat on the back.

The next house to the west is the doctor’s clinic and
there’s a magnus pack coupon in the flower vase on
the left.  While you’re here anyway, have you been
going to the Coliseum?  Once you’ve moved up to Rank
2, they make sure you’re moving along in the
storyline also by requiring you to go to the doctor’s
clinic and picking up some medical supplies before
moving on.  The sick girl in the clinic, Elle, will
give you a mission to become champion (as if we
weren’t going to, anyway) and the doctor will happily
oblige you with supplies while you’re there.  Once
you’ve moved up to Rank 2, Ark will warn you not to
mess with Panie’s men.

Down the stairs of Sheliak is the magnus shop (you’ll
have a lot of mail to read), a woman (near one of the
lightposts) that wants some eau de mouche in return
for the Sedna Flower Bed.  Inside the house is the
woman you need to give the song to (but not as the
Terrible Song, you need to spice it up first) and a
chest with a middle potion.

---------------Castle Elnath [C12]

As you’re following Celsica, stop at the second
balcony to talk to some knights and get another of
those silly sidequests.  There’s also a room on the
lower right with a chest (Grappler’s Gi) and the room
on the upper right with a chest (Mattress).  Celsica,
of course, stops liberally to let you talk, explore,
and generally appreciate the nice Diadem scenery.

Eventually you’ll meet up with King Ladekahn and
Gibari (remember those two from the last game?) After
talking with Rambari, and checking the throne for a
Sedna Monument, take your leave and head over to
Nashira by exiting the castle to the south and the
city to the west.

Oh, you wanted to explore (loot) the castle, did you?
Well, then let us begin our tour by going left from
the throne room and up the stairs.  The room up here
has another chest (Battle Shield) and the room above
it has only a lonely woman in it.  Father up the
stairs there’s a man doing pushups who will trade
magnus and a greythorne.  At the top of these stairs
you can draw the Diadem Crest, like in the last game,
but we have no pressing need for it now.  Head up the
final set of stairs and check out the training ground
for two more chests (Will & Swallowtail) and we’re
done here.

---------------Cloud Passage [C13]

Start off by going to the Lesser Celestial River on
the worldmap.  Follow Gibari and Ladekahn up to the
cloudpath

Going north to the other vortex will take you to the
other side of the celestial river.  I advise you to
fight the purple-ish toad here, he has a Sedna
magnus.

As soon as you move to the left you’ll see Gibari and
Ladekahn using the Royal mirror.  Watch and learn.
After they leave, head up there and pick up the
‘treasured family heirloom’ that they carelessly left
on the ground and use it.  There’s another barrier to
the northwest, just leave the light shining on it
until it disintegrates. .
Okay.  Now hop back up to the cloud path and make
your way past the two barriers that you just
disabled.  The sparkly lights are a chest of sorts
which contains a Frozen Suit.

You’ll need to go back down to the river to use the
royal mirror again at the vortex to the south.  There
are two rainbow barriers, one to your south and one
above you to the north.  Then return to the cloudpath
and keep moving.  The path is more or less linear,
despite the ups and downs.  Down the next vortex,
there’s a chest, more cancerites waiting to jump out
at you, and another cloud machina to get you back up
to the cloudpath.

Run past the baddies here (remember your heartwing
dash) and jump down the vortex by the star symbol;
you’ll see the kids talking about the lost mirror.
Down by the river there’s another chest, and another
jump back up to the cloudpath.  Take the left bottom
exit to see the kids make a daring jump across a gap.
Here’s where you need to backtrack a little.  Go back
up.

Head south and east back past a barrier and even
father east to a sparkly chest that contains
Ascension.  Jump down at the vortex and go south to
the patch of light there.  If you try to aim at the
rainbow directly, Sagi will say the clouds are too
thick, so point your beam northwards at that strange
star we passed a bit ago and the light will reflect
back, hitting the rainbow.  Ah, physics!  Before you
jump back up, there’s a chest on the east end of this
precipice containing an Aqua Hood.

Return to the barrier you just dissipated and jump
down that vortex.  You can wing-hop over to the chest
with Bandages, and then over to the group of people
making clouds.  Perfect!  Let’s learn how.  The water
and fire are right behind the man, and he gives you
the salt himself.  Like he says, it’ll be three
battles before you can mix in the salt, and then one
more battle before you get – not just any cloud – a
Diadem Cloud.

Use that cloud on the gap and let’s get out of here.

-------------Nashira [C14]

Great, more Empire goons.  Before we ‘get caught’,
let’s save at the flower and take a look around town.
The glowing doorway is the magnus shop, and the house
on the right has a chest with Sword of Tears and
another chest up the ladder holding Canyon Wind.
Exit to the right and search the fish bucket for a
magna mix recipe.

In the left-hand house there’s another magna mix
recipe in the chest on the right, and a lot of people
to chat with.

Alright then!  Caught on purpose!  Palolo will show
up and free you pretty post-haste, and you’ll need to
help Ladekahn come up with a plan to get out of here.
He will talk to Gibari, and there will be a
flashback.  Take careful note of how many guards are
on the top and bottom levels, as well as how many
little green machinas there are on the right.  Tell
Ladekahn when he asks, and if you need another look,
talk to Milly or Guillo.

Once you’ve witnessed all that, grab your magnus from
the bag on the table and the two chests (Light
Element & Attack B).  Back out in the town, you
really only have one option, and that’s to go in the
right-hand house.  Where Reblys was before you can
now hop up the ladder and talk to him.  Do you
remember him from the last game?  Anyhow, move
forward and hop up again to get the Dark Element out
of the chest there and then exit to the left.

Keep moving to your left and Gibari will demonstrate
how to get to the bar without a door.  Guess who runs
the place?  Ah, Anna.

Back to the Cloud Passage!  And just for fun, let’s
throw in a boss battle.  After all, you missed
Giacamo.

------------The Cloudvents [C15]

Back at the castle, only to get shipped right back
out again.  Exit right out the back left of the
throne room to get to the CloudVents.

It’s a bit labyrinthine in here, but just keep in
mind that most of the passages loop around.  As long
as you’ve got a good idea of what direction you want
to go, you won’t get lost.  Or just follow my
directions carefully.

Right off the bat, get yourself blown to the left
exit to fetch a chest with a Sedna magnus in it.
Then run hard to the left to capture the essence of
the Gust Boulder.  Then cut around the hall all the
way to the top and left to get another chest, this
one with Empyreal Fire in it.  Get gusted down to the
middle right exit for another chest, with
Levinsnake’s Rise.

Now fight your way up to the next upper right exit
(or just exit left and go up there and across) and
take a look at the wind stream.  Use your gust
boulder on it and run back to where that wind was
coming from (the south exit) to get a Fire Element.
If you get blown out that hole, you’ll land all the
way in the Cloud Passage or where-ever, be warned.

You know as well as I do what’s coming when you see
that red flower, so, let’s get to it.

Good news: no machina arma.  Bad news: all three
lieutenants doing Baelheit’s dirty work are facing
off against you.  Nasca, Hugues, and good ol’ Valara
all attack you at once.  Do you need a suggestion or
two for them?  Just take them out in the order
they’re given – Nasca, because he heals the other
two, and then whichever you like least.  Once one of
them is gone, the going is much easier, since they
won’t team up on big attacks.  Basically just keep up
your health and lay down big relays when you get the
opportunity.

And THEN what?!  Another umbra, naturally.  You saw
it coming, didn’t you?  There’s a pattern developing
with these umbras, but I won’t tell you what it is...

=========Otherworld======== [C20]

Head out and across the hall to discuss things and
then upstairs and outside.  Look at all those
locations.  Well, in case you weren’t paying
attention earlier, we started this trek in Albali
Sandhollow, and visited the empty Rasalas Village,
then passed through the Sandfeeder’s nest to return
to our boat-in-the-rain by the name of Naos.  We
haven’t been to Matar Highlands yet, and where we
want to go is Cujam.

-------------Cujam [C21]

The place looks eerily familiar, doesn’t it?  Head
into the house on your right for a Strong Attack B
magnus.  Back outside and up the stairs a bit, there
are two kids floating around and arguing over a Sedna
magnus, and if you talk to them, they’ll give it to
you out of pity.

On the next screen, the elder’s house is now a
church, and there’s a chest on the left side (Fate
Idol).  As for the other houses, only the orphanage-
pottery house holds a chest, and it’s only a Medium
Attack B

Down the stairs is a whole part of town that wasn’t
there before.  There’s a creepy scene down here, and
to the left some more, the magnus shop.  Also, going
down the stairs and along the shore to the far left,
there’s a chest with Will in it.

Now you might think you’ll be headed into a hopeless
battle against Wiseman, but here you’d be wrong.
Nope, instead of actually getting to battle, you have
another one of those weird-outs and end up right back
where you were earlier, facing off with Nasca’s
machina arma, a different battle that you absolutely
can’t win, but you have to at least survive.

-----------Diadem Wrap-Up [C22]

Unfortunately, after the battle, we are transported
back to Castle Elnath for a tearful scene.  This
means that we will have to WALK all the way back
through the cloudvents to get to the pesky chest
there.  Besides, Celcisca’s crest fell to the ground
(it’s a tiny sparkle) and we want that, too.  A man
at the exit to Castle Elnath wants it, and in return,
he will give you a magnus mixer and a Sword of Tears.
Heck, if you didn’t get enough of Nasca the first
time through, he’s still there, also!

What’s new down in town?  Well, there are new
patients in the doctor’s office, and you can pick up
Fluella from them, in case that’s what you’ve always
wanted.  The boy in the upper left bed also has
spoken with his sister some more and now wants a
Spark Shroom.  He will give you a Nurses’ Cap and a
Life Talisman for it.

You can also trek over to Nashira and give the Royal
Mirror to Gibari to cheer him up.  You didn’t really
need it anyway, did you?

========Sadal Suud======== [C30]

--------Pherkad [C31]

Great, just what we needed, more roadblocks.  In
fact, villagers will block almost every doorway in
town.  Grab the Guillo poster and just head to the
left and then north for the Sagi poster (on the right
wall).  You can go through the right doorway there
and grab a Rabbit Dash from a chest and talk to the
woman to get a sidequest about Quzman, our polygamous
friend from the last game.

Go south with Milly and grab her poster off the right
wall there.  Move back and forth between screens for
a while, and people will stop talking about you and
you can go into buildings, finally.

Inside the southernmost left entrance is the bar.
First off, take down the wanted poster of Guillo just
outside the door, because there are still some kids
to the north that are talking about it.  The
bartender in here has a chronic fatigue problem and
is perfectly willing to take advantage of you, your
blank magnus, and your generosity.  Filling up three
magnus with his un-tossable Chronic fatigue will net
you a Brawn Fruit and a Sedna Fence, but you’ll
really have to work to get rid of those things and
free up your magnus again.  Or just wait a long time
until they expire.  Thank goodness it doesn’t
actually weigh down your walking like in the Nihal
Desert.

In the next house up, there’s a magna mix recipe on
the far right wall on the bookshelf.  Up farther
there’s a second exit on the left (above the one to
the dock) that will take you to some sort of laundry
area.  Circle around the well to the left and grab
the poster from the wall.  Don’t worry, you can
discard these with impunity, in case you were
wondering.  Don’t forget to take note of the girl
here who wants to move to another town.  That’ll be
important for Sedna once you have ten Sedna magnus’.

Inside the uppermost house, once those kids are gone,
is the source of our headaches: the man drawing those
stupid-looking posters.  He promises to at least draw
you properly, but goes right on despite you standing
right there.

Going all the way to the north nets you another
sighting of our old friend, Giacamo.  But all you
really do here is find out that Rodolfo is in
Cebalrai, so exit to the south of town and go to
Nunki Forest, but not before you talk to the woman
near the exit – she will give you the Holy Leaf so
you can get rid of the Lightbugs.  When you move them
all off the pathways, she’ll give you an Elemental
Talisman.

----------Nunki Forest [C32]

You’ll notice the Lightbugs right off the bat here.
They’re the bright yellow clusters near the blue
sparkles.  You can load up on Holy Drops at the blue
sparkles, but you have a very short time before they
degrade to Pristine Water, so make sure you get the
bugs off the path quickly.

As you head south, you’ll find that eventually
there’s a pair of loving creatures wholly blocking
the path.  How odd.  You’ll have to head back up and
hop across the rushing river by the rocks and take a
detour to the north to grab the chest (Battle Shield)
behind the waterfall.  Anyhow, there’s a few dead
ends around, but south is our goal, trust me.

Once you exit south, there will be yet another pair
of creatures blocking the way.  You’ll need to
quickly get a Holy Drop, jump down, jump across the
river, jump across the gap without getting washed
out, and push the little buggers away before it turns
into Pristine Water.

Hop up to the ledge there and exit north to grab the
chest (Arabesque), then back down and across the
river in the middle to grab a chest at the very south
end, in the trees.  When you’re all done here, go
back across and south to exit to Cebalrai.

---------Cebalrai [C33]

The original town from the last game, Cebalrai has a
lot of townsfolk and animals about.  The left doorway
is the magnus shop, and in the back residence,
there’s a magnus mix recipe on the back bookshelf,
and a magnus pack coupon on the right. In the
stables, the boy will give you a small quest, and one
of the fantail ducks will provide you with a  Sedna
magnus.

After fruitlessly trying to talk sense into Roldolfo,
head left and get a magnus mix recipe from the back
left of the pow stables.  There’s also a Thunder
Element in the chest there.

You can also drop by the Moonguile Forest, as there
aren’t any enemies there, but a Sedna magnus on the
leftmost screen.  The boy in the stables in Cebalrai
will give you a Heavenbolt Wrap, just for having gone
to it.

Also, while you’re around, you might want to move up
a rank in the Coliseum – the next Rank Quest is to
guide an old man through the Nunki woods.  Start at
the north end, and work your way down the same way,
and you’ll see him eventually at the beginning of the
third screen.  He’ll ask you which way, and you’ll
have to say ‘Closer,’ then walk over to him and say
‘Down’ and finally catch up with him again and say
‘Closer’.

----------Rodolfo’s Estate [C34]

Might as well head into battle, it’s not like these
guys are going to threaten you in any way.  After
they’re gone, you hide, as if you couldn’t take all
these schmucks on with one wing tied down.  Anyhow,
go into the left hollow there for a Fate Idol and the
right hollow for a save flower.

Up the stairs, the first right door has a Dragon Claw
in a chest and the left door has a vine leading to
the next room.  Use it to arrive in the midst of
several sleeping soldiers.  Since you can’t be
bothered by these fools, sneak over to the chest and
grab the Canyon Wind and then leave back through the
window.

The left side stairs are blocked off, so don’t bother
and go up the right side stairs.  Up here is a
kitchen with some Salty Water and Pow Meat, in case
you were interested in some mix recipes.  Up the
stairs again is a Blaze, a person, and a distant
chest with the Sedna House 2 in it.

After talking to the guy here and thinking about
smoke, go back to the kitchen and talk to the chef
there.  After ripping out the hearth and hopping
down, talk to the guy at the top of the room and
he’ll tell you about billowsmoke and that you’ll find
it in the last room, where the soldiers are sleeping.
The girl in green on your left will trade if that’s
your thing.

Now we’ll need to get back to the soldier’s room.  To
the second-left room!  Out the window!  To the crate!
After you obtain some Billowsmoke, go back down to
the save flower and use it on the vent there.  Might
as well save while we’re down here, you know what’s
coming up next, I mean, we saw Giacamo at the door,
didn’t we?

Inside Rodolfo’s room, you chat and there’s an
Apostolos blade in the corner when you’re done
speaking.  Now we need to go to Nunki Woods again.

---------Nunki Woods, take 2 [C35]

Great, whatever happened to ‘Only You Can Prevent
Forest Fires’?  Let’s go kick some butt and take some
names of these anti-forest-friendly Empire jerks.
Jog down to the south exit and grab some flame ice if
you don’t have any.  Come back up to the waterfall
screen and run behind the waterfall using the newly
placed rusted girder.  Go to the golden machina and
use the flame ice on it.  Then go all the way back up
to the top and run down to the next screen.  Here,
you’ll want to jump across the river and get some
more flame ice to use on the next machina.  Hey, get
two while you’re at it.

Run up to grab a chest with Kusanagi in it, then exit
the screen to the south.  Hop across the waterfall
and go down, then go back across the waterfall to
save and grab a chest with Emerald Thrush in it.
Now, go back down and use your extra flame ice on the
last golden machina to go across to the chest there
(Twin Ice Auger).  Exit to the north, pass the left
exit and get another chest (Heavenfall).

Now, you’re ready to exit to the left and take on
Hugues.  Or ARE you?  Naturally it is a battle you
can’t win, as you may have noticed by the fact that
you are doing little to NO damage.

And what would an encounter with machina arma be
without an afterling encounter and a warp to the
crazy zone.

========Otherworld [C40]

Did you take the Chronic Fatigue from that selfish
bartender?  Is it still with you?  Then let me remind
you to bring some Blaze back to Naos with you.
They’ll give you a moment to grab all that stuff you
need and pull yourself together after the last few
fights.  Talk to Seph upstairs when you’re ready to
go.

-----------Zaurak Keep [C41]

Everything’s pretty straightforward in here until you
get to the third screen (you can’t do anything about
the portal in the second screen for now).  Here, the
dark rainbow lights indicate places you can jump up
with your wings.  Over on the far right is a chest
with Evil Mail in it, and jumping up the center
causes you to leave Ven behind.  Oh well, no help for
it.  Let’s move on.

Keep following the trail as it will allow you to move
north.  When you get to the end, jump down on the
left side where you can barely see a dark rainbow of
lights.  Run around to the left and jump up at the
upper side of the screen.  Move along to your left
and you’ll see a heartwing icon telling you to jump
again.  That should get you to the chest you see
there, a Plasma Blade.

Next you’ll need to go all the way to the left and
jump down to get another chest (Spirilight Quiver)
before moving on to the south exit.  Finally, run
straight to the south end and grab the chest (Cross
Sophia) and then head through the portal.

Here, you’ll need to grab some Light Powder from the
contraption in the center of the screen and use it on
the broken bridge to the north.  Doesn’t quite cut
it, though, so click on the fin part of the
contraption to rotate it.

Wait, stop.  What fin part, you may ask.  Alas, it is
so small and hard to click on!  You must stand facing
the direction you want it to turn (clockwise) and be
right next to it, or Sagi will try and take some more
Light Powder, and that’s not what we want.  But it is
there, I assure you, your game is not defunct, and I
am not lying.  You’ll just have to keep trying until
you get it and not complain so much.

As it is now, the light door will take us back to
where we were.  But we’ll need Ven, so let’s go find
him.  When you get back, rotate the light again so it
faces west, and remember to grab some more Light
Powder.

Sneak by all these guys and head north.  Cut past the
strange marching skeletons and jump up at the rainbow
lights for a chest with Sigil Cry in it.  Ven will
move the boulder for you.

When you get across, use the light powder (you did
remember it, didn’t you?) on the half bridge, and
then run across and turn that blasted thing to the
north.  When you try and run through, the boys have a
discussion, and Sagi has another headache.  Great.

----------Sadal Suud Wrap-Up [C42]

Man, making me walk all the way back to get that
chest again. It’s only got a Saber Dragon Horn, so
you make the decision yourself.  Also new in Nunki
Woods is the piles of Love Syrup on the ground.
Well, besides being burned down and harboring all
kinds of animals and militia.

Now is also a good time to catch up on your
sidequests, you know, run around giving people what
they want, etc, fighting people in the coliseum,
talking to everyone and their dog.  You should, if
you’ve been following along in the walkthrough thus
far, have long since repopulated Sedna, so you can go
about finding more citizens for the quirky clay-town.
There’s a list near the bottom of the faq for your
edification.

--------A Word on Pac-Man! [C43] --------------------
---
|                                                               |
|       Taymiya in one of the northern houses will give
       |
|       you a quest to find her wayward husband,
       |
|       Quzman.  If you really want to know, he’s in
the     |
|       Jail in Mintaka, you get the key from the
soldiers        |
|       room, the grate to the right of the stairs, a
little  |
|       sparkly bit.  If you do this at some point in
the     |
|       game and return to Taymiya’s house and talk to
       |
|       Quzman, he will offer you a ‘special magnus’
       |
|       It is merely personal opinion, but I would like
to      |
|       STRONGLY URGE you not to accept.  Maybe |
|       later, when you have time and magnus slots to
       |
|       waste.
       |
|       -----------------------------------------------
----------      |
|       IF YOU DID ACCEPT: and assuming you don’t     |
|       want to waste your time doing this ridiculous
       |
|       side quest, here is the only solution: pen the
little  |
|       guy in with indestructible magnus, such as the
       |
|       Coliseum Dog-Tags, the Travel Log, or the
       |
|       Communicator.  Put him in a corner and he won’t
       |
|       move about this way.
       |
-----------------------------------------------------
------------

When you’re all done, you need only go back to Verus’
and get your next mission to Anuenue.  Geldoblame
gives you more empty magnus, too!  They’ll give you
the option to save as soon as you cross into the
second disc.  Come closer and listen up, I have
something to tell you.

SAVE IN A DIFFERENT SLOT!!!!

The events starting the second disc might cause you
to throw up your hands in disgust if you’re not
ready, and they don’t give you any chance to get
ready.  Oh, they’ll give you a Try Again, but that’s
little consolation if you’re simply outmatched.  Holy
Shades of Final Fantasy Tactics, Batman! (sort of).
No fear?  Then read on.  There are ways to win…

>>>>>>>Disc 2

=======Anuenue========= [C50]

----------The HoloHolo Bird. [C51]

Ye gads, this was annoying.  I half expect people to
come to this FAQ just for this dumb bird.  My
experience was to die ten times in a row, then fight
the bird to a standstill for an hour, literally, and
finally, rework my deck again, beat it over an hour
long battle, and went out for fried chicken in savage
revenge.

I recommend this for you too (the fried chicken, not
the dying) so let me help you get through this
without dying the number of times I had to die.  Just
to let you know, I was level 27, deck class something
like 13.  But you can do it no matter what!  Never
give up!  Never give in!

First off, the main bird is weak to lightning.  The
chicks are weak to fire.  Now, are you familiar with
the target system (R)?  Because if you were like me,
you didn’t have excessive troubles like this with any
other foe, and pretty much were at liberty to ignore
the target system.

Not so for this battle.  The chicks are tiny little
bastards who get a turn far too often and do huge
combos, on top of the fact that they can heal the
main bird for over a thousand health.  Finally, the
main bird, when flanked by both chicks, will perform
his big whirlwind move, almost halving your party’s
health and knocking them all down for the count.

So, the moral of that paragraph was: get rid of the
chicks!  They absolutely need to go before you even
talk about hitting the main bird.  The main bird by
its lonesome can do a lot less harm to you, and can
be taken down slowly.  When the eggs/chicks appear,
hammer the heck out of them with Fire-based skills.
Keep checking who you’re attacking with R before you
start a combo, and they all should go down
eventually.  Heck, throw in things that hit
everybody, so you can be doing some damage to the
bird while killing the chicks.

My recommendation on decks is to go with all fire.
The chicks are your real enemy, the bird will have to
be secondary to their destruction.  Try to get the
eggs if you have time, they have less health, but
throw in big fire combos to make sure the chicks are
dead, dead, dead.  As always, heal a lot, may as well
use the Star Earrings if you have them, and don’t
sweat the bird.  He will go down, lightning attacks
or no, I promise you.  You just don’t want to give
the chicks a chance to heal him for over a thousand
health!

You get Heavenlapse and the Armor of Tonitrus for
winning, and can grab a HoloHolo Bird Plume, of
course.  Now pause the game and go out and kill
yourself a pigeon or two – you’ve earned it!

----------The HoloHolo Jungle [C52]

Now!  Exit south and left, there’s nothing for you
north.  May as well save, since we don’t want to do
THAT again.

Out here in the jungle all the chests are easy to
obtain – they contain a Mirage Turn, a White Club,
and an Icebloom for your trouble. Exit to the left.

Run to the left and hop onto the little islet in the
middle.  Hop left again and run all the way left for
an Aqua Camouflage.  Go back to the islet and jump to
the south to the next islet, and then to the left.
Jump up at the second tree stump and then jump to the
right one to obtain Red Padma.  Exit to the left.

Now, on this screen, there are 5 directions to go.
Let’s call them… 9 o’clock, 12 o’clock, 1 o’clock, 2
o’clock, and 3 o’clock.  2 o’clock, of course, is
where we just came from.  At 3, you’ll find a tree
that bears fruit, and we’ll come back to that later,
so just keep it in mind.  At 12, there’s a field of
flowers and some things Milly calls Blooderflies,
we’ll be back for that, too.

At 1 o’clock, you beat up some pretty pastel sea life
to get to the chest with Hot Spring in it, but hey,
they also had a Sedna magnus, so… we had to.

Finally, at 9, we exit to see a pretty bird in a tree
and an olifant asleep near the trail.  Next screen,
please!  Only… you don’t get to the next screen, you
only come back to this one.  We’re trapped!

After Sagi and the others formulate a plan, go back
to 12 o’clock and grab some Holoflower Nectar.  Use
it on the olifant in our continuing theme of cruelty
to wildlife that never did anything to us.  Exit
south to get out of this place.

---------Komo Mai [C53]

If you drop by the Anuenue Port first, you’ll get a
quest to get 10 traditional Komo Mai cookies.  When
you get to town, you’ll see the trouble – they give
away cookies, but they’re not of the traditional
variety.  You can get them farther to the south, but
the guards won’t let you by to get back to port!  The
solution is to carry more originals (blue) than
traditionals (orange) across the barrier and you can
go through, but it means making a number of trips.
But do it anyway, it’s more or less worth it.

Elsewise at the Anuenue Port, look very closely on
the second level on the left.  You can run in there
and end up out the back.  All the way to the left
there is a chest with Force in it, and the man here
wants some Fresh Air.  You can get some Chronic
Fatigue from him, do so.

In the first hollow on the left, you’ll hear that
name Panie again.  In the other house in entryway to
Komo Mai is a man who wants to go to Sedna, so give
him some immigration papers if you’ve got them.  Give
the Chronic Fatigue to the terrible singer. Also,
talk to the old ladies for a recipe (talk to them a
lot, and I think you have to start the recipe, too)

You can talk to the rest of the townsfolk to get a
couple of quests and an idea of what this election
business is all about.  I’ll walk you through the
ballot-getting quests later as we get farther into
the game.  For now, to the Queen’s palace.  Go
through the cage of vines to exit up at the north end
and then straight north to chat with the Queen.

You’ll get the order to go back to Alfard, but let’s
do some exploring while we’re here.  To the school of
magic: left!

Talk to who ever you want to talk to – bring some
original cookies (you have to have no blue cookies
whatsoever to get in) to the guy in the leftmost room
near the back to get ‘hired’, and check the portrait
hanging at the far back for a magnus pack coupon.

In the classroom you can obtain some Dull Times and
Empty Books, and if you check the left shelf, you’ll
find a magnus mix recipe.

On the right side, listen to some of the questions on
the magic exam, find two magna mix recipes on the
shelves in there, grab an original cookie if you
like, but the guy next door wants a traditional – he
will trade you a fish for it.  As usual, you need
more blue cookies than orange to get by the guy
outside.

---------Where are those God-Forsaken Ballots? [C54]

1)      Guy in blue fishing at the dock, bottom screen
of Komo Mai – get a fish from the guy in the
Right Office by giving him a traditional
cookie.  Give the guy in blue the fish.
2)      Guy at Anuenue port selling cookies – give him
ten traditional cookies
3)      Guy singing terrible song, north house – get
some Chronic Fatigue (either from the bartender
in Pherkad or the guy way out left behind the
Anuenue Port) and give it to him
4)      Heartbreak kid wants Heart-Break Song (Terrible
Song + Salt)
5)      News guy just wants news of some sort, like the
Treasure Location secret or the Mother-in-Law’s
Secret magnus.
6)      Chronic Fatigue guy in the way back of the
Anuenue Port (get there via the small hole on
the left of the second story ledge) – give him
some Fresh Air (obtained from the castle, left
room window)
7)      Unfunny man walking around Anuenue Port – give
him the Poor Excuse for a Joke, obtained from
the meeting in the right room of the castle.
8)      Guard in the left room of the castle wants
water
9)      The guy at the southeast end of town wants a
land-mark stone, but I don’t believe he will
take it until you’re farther along in the game
– I mean, you need it to get through the
jungle, after all.


---------HoloHolo Jungle, Take 2 [C55]

New to HoloHolo Jungle: rain!  And more Undead!  You
can run all the way right and save a baby HoloHolo
chick (despite them being tiny little bastards that
go too often and hit too hard).  The chick will give
you a Brawn Fruit as a reward.

Next up, 1 o’clock exit to save a bird.  This is
surely revenge for all the abuse we’ve been dishing
out the wildlife at random. At least the bird gives
you a Freedom Chalice.

The next animal we want to help is back along the
road a bit.  When you hop the islands in the next
screen, hop to the forward right one and run over to
where a hograt is stuck in the mud and help it out
without battle for a free Indra Helm.

That was just so great, I wish the game would make me
walk all the way back out!  Repeat that to yourself
as you walk back out.  I’m sure you can figure out
the part with the pollywhale on your own, yes?  You
get a White Night Bean for it, if that motivates you…

----------Komo Mai, Take 2 [C56]

Let’s explore the Queen’s castle.  The most important
bits are the door on the left, which has a meeting
going on where you can get the Poor Excuse for a
Joke, and the door in the back on the right (Queen
Corellia’s room) where you can get a magnus mix
recipe from the tea set on the left and a magnus pack
coupon from the bottles nearby (and a Celestial
Flower Seed from the back corner). You can also get
Fresh Air from the windows in the left side room.
With all this bounty, a man can run out of magnus in
a hurry.

After going up to the throne room and coming up
empty, come back out of the castle to see a small
scene.  Now, to the far left classroom, to talk to
the girl in pink, who is a teacher, believe it or
not.  She will give you the stone, so you can walk
through the stupid jungle, so you can find the
village of Opu, so you can find this Lolo person, who
MIGHT be able to fix your ship, IF you pass all the
classes here at the school of magic.  Here goes.

Classics) Just go to the classics classroom (the
boring one) and give the teacher some Good Times,
conveniently obtained from his brother over in
Anuenue Port, after finishing his quest to get 10
traditional cookies (see above).  Give him three of
these and his class will be actually bearable, and he
will automatically give you credit, and a Tower
Shield.

Magic) A bout of questions.  You knew it was coming,
don’t look surprised.
What was the dark god’s name? Malpercio.
Who defeated him? The Children of the Earth
What is the bell called? The Bell Which Tolls Time
What is the clock called? The Flight of Time
What is the power that keeps the islands aloft? The
End Magnus
How many End Magnus are there? 5
What was the source of the dark god’s power? The Dark
Brethren
What is the teacher’s name? Beatrix
She gives you the Pegasus Armlet for having passed
her class.

Chemistry) He just wants Rotten Food.  Don’t have
time to wait for an egg to spoil?  Just go outside
and down to the merchant by the river in the first
screen and get some straight from him.  The chemistry
professor gives you a Toxic Dumpling for passing his
class.

--------All that is Holy, HoloHolo Jungle AGAIN [C57]

Heaven help me, if we encounter one more delay I will
set fire to this jungle and burn it to the ground,
promachination be damned.

Grab a HoloHolo Fruit on your way through, you’ll be
needing one, and then exit all the way right and
north past the corpse of the HoloHolo bird (I spit on
you, corpse, HoloHolo Bird, take that!)

A +monkey+ of all things will delay you on your
journey by taking the stone right from your hands.
You will have to chase it down many times before it
gives it up.  Just run around on this one screen and
look very, very carefully under the green mist-cover
for the monkey.  When you’re done you get a Speed
Amulet, but it was NOT worth it.

---------The Village of Opu [C58]

In here is a cut scene and then everybody leaves
again.  But naturally we want to explore (loot) the
place.

At the bottom is the selfsame olifant that you ran
off earlier.  See how I said that would come back to
haunt you?  Give it a HoloHolo Fruit and it will give
you a Classic Cudgel and the Sedna Pow House.

Talk to the little girl looking at the rainbow and
she will give you a magna mix recipe.  Inside the
bottommost house is a chest with Rabbit Dash.  Talk
to the parents here and the kid will run off.  Very
sad.

Inside the left house on the second level is a magnus
pack coupon, hidden in the green plants at the back,
and a mix recipe, in the planter on the right.

----------The Celestial Tree [C59]

There’s nothing to do here but walk forward and watch
the scene.  Then run back to Komo Mai and get to the
palace to talk some more.  When you’re finally done,
it’s time to head into battle.  Arm up and go back to
the Celestial Tree.  Go directly into the hollow at
the upper right.

Once inside, head straight for the left branch and
jump up to score a Cliffsunder out of the chest.
Exit left to get the quest to go on, and you might as
well exit because we’ll be right back after you get
something from Lolo outside.

Now, let’s start things off by exiting to the right.
There’s a place to jump here, do so and get a Apsu
Sophia from the chest at the left. On the right is a
small hole for your little wood guy (no perverse
jokes, please.)  You need to navigate him around
monsters, which should be fine on the way to the
dagroot, as your monster avoidance skills are
probably pretty honed by this point in the game.
It’s coming back that’s the problem.  The little dude
will be heavily weighed down by the dagroot, and will
run extremely slowly back to you.  If you run into a
monster, your puppet with come straight back to you
empty-handed.  If you run into a monster twice, your
guy will run back to you with the +monster+ in tow,
not the dagroot.  At least this way you can clear the
path of monsters.

Now, send him through there twice to get the
lightning and fire dogwoods, then go back and through
to the south exit.  Here, you can try to get the dark
dagwood, but the little toy just doesn’t cut it.  So
run back around to where you see the torch and push
it over.  Again with the wildlife destruction.  Run
over to get the dagwood yourself, and don’t forget
the chest with Sigil Cry on the left.

Now, the last exit, at 4 o’clock.  The hole for your
little guy is to the south (I said NO JOKES already)
and there’s a Pyre Frock and an unreachable stack of
fell-branches on the right.

Got all five dogwoods?  Good, let’s get back outside
and talk to Lolo, who builds us a … contraption, and
gives us a Scarlet Crown for our efforts.  Now, just
hop on (might as well save first, though) and guide
the cart to the left with the control stick.  Pass
the hollow and go as far left as you can go.  Hop out
and go in as far left as you can go for two chests
with Sedna Windmill and a High Potion.

When you’re ready, take the cable car to the middle
island to fight the boss battle.  This is tricky.
When he ducks his head, Valara will fire, and you
don’t want that, we’ve decided.  Hit him only when
the head is up, and just heal yourself and set up
combos while his head is down.  His weakness is
darkness, if that helps.

Despite your efforts…

========Otherworld======== [C60]

By the way, Ven=Useless, in case you hadn’t noticed.
My strong recommendation here is to go around the
place counter-clockwise because things will just work
out that way, and then go north to the Lightbridge.

-----------Zaurak Keep, Take 2 [C61]

To the east – fight or sneak your way into that mess
and retrieve the Wickwing Revels.  Don’t even bother
with jumping up – even if you do have Light Powder,
it only takes you back to the first half of the Keep.
Exit to the north, get the Diamond Drop and run
around these freaky guys and jump up to get the
Hidden Sophia.

At the top, (since you’ve brought Ven, blow the
boulder aside) there are mysteriously two save
flowers, one red, one blue, so pick your favorite and
save.

Continuing around the clock, go over to the left and
jump straight up for two chests, with Spirilight
Quiver and Force in them.  Go south from here twice
(ignore the light door) and we’re back to where we
started out.  Jump up from here and go north to find
the light pillar.  Oh, and an Efreeti Saber in a
chest.

We want to go north, naturally, but let’s turn that
thing to the east.  Remember that the “fin” that we
turn it with is clockwise from the light beam, so
it’s currently behind the pillar.  Click around until
you find it, and don’t forget to grab some light
powder.

Go out there and go south, then jump up and exit
south.  Use the powder on the half light bridge and
retreat for now.  Go back to the pillar and turn it
to the south.  Run down there, fight the guy and grab
the Negativity Helm from the chest there.

Now, finally, turn the pillar to the north.  You’ll
have to exit south and walk all the way around (good
thing you didn’t bring Ven in, right?) and get Ven
where we left him – if you were following along
earlier, that would be one screen left of the north
exit.  Go through the north exit and battle your
little heart out.

----------The Battlefields of Atria [C62]

Once back at Naos, go up on deck to exit.  Going to
Cujam will net us exactly zero in the confrontation
department, so go all the way through (grab that
chest, is that new?  It’s a Weak Attack B) and exit
out the east side to get to Atria.

Grab the chest here, it’s a Sedna Orange Tree.  Also
over on the right: Primordial Cactus.  Then follow
down the hill.

There’s a chest down here with Sublime Garb for
Guillo, but don’t approach the winged guys in this
place, they are not your friends anymore.  In point
of fact, they will now freeze you so you cannot run
about the map for a short time, and then attack you
en masse, partnered with dragons in at least half of
cases.  Harsh.

Go northwards and get the Fulgadrum on the left
before exiting on the right.  On the next screen,
swing right and get the Hot Spring from the chest
before going right.  There’s a Twelve Layer Kimono in
the chest here, then rush out the left screen exit.

Now, at the far left, under the save flower, there’s
a Freedom Chalice, and at the south side of the
screen are a pair of chests – Lightendrake’s Drop and
Fair Guardian.  Save, naturally, but again, you won’t
be fighting Wiseman on the next screen.  Cue white
out and hopeless machina arma battle.

-----------Anuenue Wrap-Up [C63]

Sagi is unusually quiet during your beatdown and
subsequent shameful retreat, but lets you have it
once you start to leave the Celestial Veinroots.
It’s almost enough to make you put your controller
through the screen, but if you make it through, it’s
time to wrap up this place.

At least you can grab those two chests in the tents
outside now.  They contain a Warrior’s Scarf and
Empyreal Wildfire.  To the castle.  After a talk with
Corellia, she gives you the broad hint to help
yourselves discreetly to some fell-branches, so… back
to the Tree.  You remember where the fell-branches
are, yes?  Southeast exit at the Veinroots, big pile
of purplish logs?  Anyhow, grab one.

Back to Opu, there’s a guy down there who’s still
laughing and would appreciate the Poor Excuse for a
Joke, if you haven’t done so before.  And talking to
Lolo will get your ship fixed, just take her back
there, and you’ll take off immediately for Alfard.

========Through the Looking Glass======== [C70]
=========Or, Down the Crapper===========

Whichever your personal credo believes.

--------Alfard [C71]

Nothing’s really new in Alfard, so head over to
Verus’.  Geldoblame will direct you to his place, you
remember where that is?  It’s the first room as
you’re coming out of Verus’ place.  Go in there and
talk a bit.  When you’re done, first investigate the
crate in the corner for a magnus mix recipe, then
head right back to Verus’.

After talking with Verus, you’re free to roam about,
but to proceed with storyline, go back to
Geldoblame’s place.  Hope you’ve done your leveling
up and magnus buying, etc.

Now here is where we ask ourselves a question.  Are
you ready for a story twist?

----------The Children of the Earth [C72]

You’ll have a boss fight.  Not an easy one, and not a
winnable one.  Strangely, you can use all three of
your characters.  The key is to stay alive, as damage
can rack up very, very quickly, and your whole party
can take massive damage at once.  Keep your health at
full almost always and get in hits only when you can
spare the time.  Don’t bother with relays, your
health is more critical than anything else.  Though I
will tell you that it does light damage and is weak
to dark damage.

After the battle, you’ll have a ‘talk’ and Sagi goes
Super Saiya-Jin Level 2 on you.  All said and done,
you’ll get Zeniver Cascade and The Godling’s Rapture
(special level 4 attack for Sagi).

Hey, remember how I said at the beginning that maybe
you should, in general, try not to be a contradicting
S.o.B?  Yeah, here’s where you might want to put that
into practice, especially if you had a hard time with
the last boss fight, because if you make the wrong
decision here when talking to Sagi, your game will be
_over_.  I think it’s pretty obvious which decision
that is, but there’s always someone who needs it
spelled out, so:  When Sagi asks you if you want to
continue traveling as a part of him, agree.  If you
don’t, the game basically ejects you, as per your own
foolhardy decision.  Now you can’t say you weren’t
warned – if you look close enough, the question is
really: do you want to continue as part of Sagi, and
play HIS adventure, or do you want Sagi to be a part
of you, and play YOUR adventure (also known as:
sitting on your couch and doing nothing all day).  I
really think that’s what they meant.  How odd.

-------------Vega Building Site [C73]

There are two chests here, one with a proto-type
magnus mixer (very fast, indeed) and the other with
Zelos Kune.  Search the big yellow block for a magnus
pack coupon, of all things.

Exit.  There’s a spark shroom patch outside – we’ll
be needing those. Grab one and head into that pod you
see at the south-west.  Use the spark shroom, and
head out.

At the next landing, there are more shrooms to the
far left, and a pod right next to the one you came
over in.  Use that one and get to the next landing.
Keep on going until you get to the circular platform,
where there are two pods.  Take the western one over
to a place where you can upgrade Spark Shrooms to
Jolt Shrooms without having to battle and mix.
You’ll need at least one Jolt Shroom for the next
pod.

The next pod goes down, and requires a Jolt Shroom
rather than a Spark Shroom.  Down here, there’s a
chest with Efreeti Horn.  Go left to a platform with
a switch in the middle.  Going left from here will
take you to some chests, and going up will take you
to the boss battle in this area.  Do your worst,
after all, he does deserve it.

Chase him across the gap and into the room, grab both
chests for some golden armor, and talk to him to
finish things.  Weren’t you wondering when Savyna
would get involved in all this?  Let’s just get out
of here outside and to the south.

----------Hassaleh [C74]

Let’s get us to Hassaleh.  Really.  Sagi won’t let
you go anywhere else.  Go and talk to Gena, and Sagi
and the others will decide on a plan of action.
There are three tasks: (1) find something for Gena,
(2) go to the little island to learn about Milly, and
(3) go to Durh to learn about Guillo. Also,
Geldoblame will eventually mail you and ask you to
(4) go to Dark Service HQ.

Go to the elder’s house and talk to him about
greythornes.  It’s high time we learned about those.
Let’s go try this business out on the greythorne in
the orphanage and get the deflated greythorne from
Gena, unless you’re saving your empty magnus for
something important.

As you try and leave Sheratan, the Doc (who is kind
of a doomsayer for a doctor, don’t you think) tells
you that you have no hope!  Unless, by some freak
chance, you could teleport yourself back in time to
the Age of the Gods!  How unfortunate for Gena!

My god, what contrivance.  Let’s just go over to the
Briarclock and go back in time to Cujam and pretend
he didn’t say all that.  Exit to the worldmap and go
north to the Matar Highlands.

----------Matar Highlands [C74]

First things first here, don’t let it rain on you.
End of story.  Stand under lotus leaves and tunnel
areas to stay safe.  Get wet, and it’s back to square
one with you.  There’s two things to do here.  (1)
push the boulder to dam up the river, and (2) get a
lotus seed to plant lotus leaves.

(1) Push the boulder to dam up the river.
Go north and left for a chest, then exit right along.
Pass by the sleeping creature here and go south for a
lotus leaf break.  Then run north and jump up.  Push
the boulder off the edge and jump across for an
Elixer  Then run back to the lotus leaf.  Fight the
guy on your way left for a Sedna magnus, and grab the
chest for a Armor Alma.

Now you want to go back and down the incline there
and exit right.  Keep moving right and under bridges.
All the way to the right is a chest with an Apostolos
in it, a very nice sword.

(2) Get the lotus seeds and plant
Now, return to the first screen (or just fall
unconscious, whatever) and run to the left-side pond
area and run down.  You’ll run through an opening and
can exit out the left bottom corner.  Run around over
here long enough and far enough to the right, and
you’ll see a small forest of lotus leaves.  You can
grab some – do so.

Return to the first screen and exit to the north.
Use the lotus leaf on the brownish patch here to grow
a leaf and stand under it until it rains twice.  Go…
get a drink, take a nap… something.

After it’s rained twice you can cross to find what
else but a save flower and a boss battle.  When it’s
over, why not get two Heartenbrace, remember there’s
a girl in Greater Mintaka who needs some.  Return to
Gena and give her a Heartenbrace.

=======More Character Quests=====[C80]

You are now free to fly about and do what you want to
do.  Naturally, it is a good time to catch up on your
sidequests.  Also of course, everyone and their
brothers, mothers, fathers, and aunts now has a new
sidequest for you to do, go talk to everyone in the
world, why don’t you.  All the sidequests are listed
in a jumble down in the section labeled ‘Sidequests’.

Also, this section plus the next can be done in any
order.  If you’ve forgotten what was where or what,
just talk to Wacho in the orphanage, and he will give
you a surprisingly insightful update on things
happening around the world.  Although, I suggest
leave off on the Battlefields of Atria until… later.
Follow the guide, it’s a good order to do things in,
and I’ll hit all the continents to boot.

I’m all for doing Dark Service HQ first, because it’s
relatively quick and easy.

-----------Return to Dark Service HQ [C81]

Things to bring to Dark Service HQ:
+ Your game face.
+ Whatever lightning attacks suit you best

Geldoblame will send you a mail asking you to head to
the Dark Service HQ.  There’s been some kind of …
massacre.  Whatever.  When you get there, let me
assure you that there are plenty of fights to be had,
and most of the enemies here are weak to lightning.

Go into the strategy room first.  Save the guy, and
talk to him to get an idea of what we’re doing.  We
need to go to each of the four rooms (two upstairs,
two downstairs) and find override codes for the
crestwall at the locker room.  Fine.  They are
represented by sparkles, they’re not hard to find.

Once you’ve got them all, fight / run your way back
to the strategy room upstairs and use the code on the
green button near the front of the room.  Go to your
Valuables List to read the code.  The crestwall will
come down.

Head to the locker room.  There will be a long series
of fights here, but persevere until you get to the
front and take out the main machina.  Quest complete.

-----------Duhr [C82]

Sidequest Magnus wanted in Duhr (just a heads up,
it’s not critical):
+ Mountain Apple Wine
+ Cloud
+ Pow Milk Yogurt
+ Immigration Papers

{Algorab}
At Durh, the first thing you do is go to Algorab and
have a talk scene. You’re then free to wander about,
but let’s just go to Gemma Village like they
recommend.

{Gemma Village}
At Gemma Village, the front door opening is the
magnus shop, and let’s start our tour on the left.
There’s a magna mix recipe all the way to the left,
and the guy on the left there will trade you a mask
for some Mountain Apple Wine.  After you pick one,
you can run behind him and get the Sedna Pier from
the chest.

On the right, you can obtain 5000G from the blue
chest on the right, and there’s a chest on the right.
At the top right of the main town, there is the final
person who wants to move to Sedna.  Finally, you can
get rid of those Immigration Papers!

On to the next phase, in the topmost doorway, you’ll
talk to Kamroh et al, and he will direct you into the
door.  Go on in.  Your last chance to back out is
when Sagi asks you whether or not to touch the
puppet.  Once you do, it’s onward to an interesting
dungeon.

{Seginus}
North, follow the only path really available to you
until you get to the human figure imbedded in the
crystal-ice.  Going south and east, you’ll see a red
glowing object, touch it.  Then the path south will
be available to you.  All the way south is a chest
with Heavenly Robe in it (though you generally have
to fight the guy for it) and another red glowing
spot.  It will activate the leg of the human figure
and you can now go west from there, so return.

Going west of the human figure will lead you to
another memory, then the block to the south of the
human figure will be released (straight downwards
from the human figure).  There is a chest here with
Zeniver Cascade, and to the east exit is another
memory.  This finally releases the northern exit from
the human figure.  Go up there and there’s another
memory and a chest with a truly awesome Book of Mana
in it.  Once this memory is done, save at the flower
and go south for a boss battle and an automatic exit.
Kamroh will give you Deluge the Seabane, a weapon for
Guillo, for finishing this, and an Elemental
Talisman.

{Durh Wrap-Up}
Back at Algorab, search the leader’s house for a
magnus pack coupon (in the pots) and the back left
house for a magna mix recipe and give  the boy here a
cloud in return for a Hot Spring magnus.  Search the
right back house for another magnus coupon pack, and
give some Pow Milk Yogurt to the guy here for a Cross
Pendant.  Finally, go to the magnus store near the
entrance at the right and buy the Sedna Toadstools 2.

-----------Nekkar [C83]

Things to bring to Nekkar:
+ Can of Whup-Ass (there’s nothing but a dungeon
here)

Hi.  Welcome to Nekkar Quietlands.  Try and exit to
the north.  Did you fall into a huge hole in the
ground?  Yes, I thought so.  By the way, that north
exit is where we are trying to go.

Now, let’s say you want to go up that ladder.  Then
I’d tell you all you’ll do is fall down again.  Go
left, through an absolutely hidden tunnel to another
ladder thing.  Grab some Fire Moss if that suits you.
Jump up.  Go west.  Keep moving west until you fall
through a new hole.  Down here there will be a huge,
huge monster.  Kill it to get the chest behind it,
unless you can squeeze by.  Inside is the Sedna Gate.
Up the left pathway is a chest with the Anubis
Shield.

Go back to the other path and exit northwest and get
Jiraiya’s Robe.  That’s where you need to be to exit
northwest of the original screen.  Storyline.

Now, Milly will say she wants to ‘show you
something’.  Show me something, my ass, there’s a red
save flower there, and I know what that means.

HOLY GOD IT’S THE HOLOHOLO BIRD!

Just joking, it only looks like it.  Thought I’d
freak you out, since this is the fifty-freaking-sixth
page of this FAQ and I got to entertain myself
somehow or another.

This is no problem for you, right?  My subconscious
told me it was the HoloHolo Bird, and I _unleashed_
on it.  Seriously, I went Psycho on this fowl. He was
dust before the red haze faded from my eyes.

You get Vajra the Indestructible and Open Your Eyes,
a lightning weapon and lightning level 3 attack for
Milly (naturally).  She will also ask you to ‘help
her find her statues’ which is utterly ridiculous,
but do it if you like.

=======Payback Time========[C90]

It’s time to dish out the hurt on those machina arma
that kicked our butts before.  Let us start with
Nasca, he’s a pansy.  Though you can do it in any
order, really, and once you do and return to
Hassaleh, Verus will call you and request that you
come in to talk.  You could, but let’s clean up the
assorted nations first.

In point of fact, you can NOT do any of this.  Yes,
that’s right.  You can very likely go right back to
Verus (if he doesn’t talk to you, you may need to
beat at least one of the machina arma that defeated
you before) and onwards to Tarazed and end the game.
But you want a robust, complete game, and you didn’t
battle your way through XX:XX hours and minutes and
get beaten up and down the block just to not get some
payback at those who put you down earlier, did you?

I didn’t think so.  Let’s go kick some ass, shall we?

---------Return to Diadem [C91]

Surprisingly, not much is new in Diadem.  A new
soldier has appeared since the last time I was in
Diadem in this FAQ, he’s in one of the left-side
rooms and he wants some glubberfish, which is easily
obtained from Nashira.

So let’s just head out to the Cloudvents and give
Nasca a little what for, eh?  If you’re really
following this FAQ word-for-word, I’ll give you a
heads up and tell you that you want the Gust Boulder
later, so grab it.

Here, your decision whether or not to end Nasca (Let
him go, or Give him what he wants) will affect your
ending slightly.  Just a warning.

Talk to the greythorne in the Nashira tavern to cheer
up Gibari, and let’s move out.

----------Return to Sadal Suud [C92]

Sidequest magnus you might want to bring to Sadal
Suud (not critical, though):
+ Goopy Machina Oil
+ Warm Cheers

Ah Sadal Suud.  So much can be done here.  Including,
if you haven’t been back since last time, the Quzman
sidequests.  Taymiya, in the northernmost house near
Roldolfo’s, will ask you to find her wayward husband,
Quzman.  He is the man in the jail in Mintaka that
doesn’t want to leave.  If you’ve already been there
and told him bluntly to go home, he will be in Sadal
Suud now.

The bad news is, and I believe I’ve already mentioned
this, is that he will try and give you another
sidequest of monstrous proportions, that I strongly
recommend you not take unless you’re a rabid
collection gamer.  It will waste your magnus space
unless you are absolutely frothing at the mouth to
collect every magnus in the world.  Don’t say you
weren’t warned.

Elsewise in Sadal Suud, the servants you freed from
the bedroom upstairs are all over the house, and
almost all of them have quests for you.  The cleaning
lady west of the entrance hall wants Goopy Machina
Oil, the man to the east of the entrance hall wants
Warm Cheers.  Upstairs, a man with a bad back will
want Mountain Apple Wine.  Finally, there’s a
greythorne lurking at the west end of Roldolfo’s room
upstairs.

Down in Cebalrai, an old person wants some
Billowsmoke, so grab some if you’re up at Roldolfo’s
and bring it down to Cebalrai.  Grab some Mountain
Apples to make some Mountain Apple Wine on your way
through Nunki Forest.

Heughes is still in Nunki Forest where you left him –
let’s take him down.  Again, you have the choice to
let him live or die, but it alters your ending
slightly.

---------Return to Anuenue [C93]

Sidequest magnus you might want to bring to Anuenue
(not critical, though):
+ Mountain Apple
+ Gust Boulder
+ Heartbreaking Song (if you didn’t already)
+ News of some sort (if you didn’t already)

New quests include talking to Lolo, who will ask you
to get a Gust Boulder, you know, the one in Diadem,
and getting a Mountain Apple for a kid at the base of
the Celestial Tree.  Also, talk to the woman here for
a magna mix recipe involving gold bugs.  You can find
their carapaces behind the left tent.

Let’s go give Valara some payback for what she’s done
to us over the course of the game.  She’s still in
the center of the Celestial Veinroots, so trolley
over there and give her a piece of your mind.  Also,
there are three chests, if you never went back for
them. I am obligated to once again remind you that
sparing her or killing her

---------Return to Battlefields of Atria [C94]

Alright, time to give payback to the biggest bastard
out there – Wiseman, since apparently, despite
killing everyone and tainting the earth, Malpercio
did not accomplish the original goal, worth
sacrificing so many souls for.  Back to the
Battlefields of Atria.

Firstly, you’ll notice that there are no more big
flames blocking your way, so you can run about
grabbing a lot of chests you didn’t have a chance to
before.  Then, you’ll notice quickly that not only
are the flying guys and blue bombers still around,
there are huge dragons flapping around the fields
just looking to dive-bomb you.  Great.

You’ll need to make your way all the way to the back,
where you saw your characters before.  Exit out this
way to find a save flower and boss battle.

What game would be complete without a huge-ass black
dragon, bent on your destruction?  No game, is the
answer. No game at all.

After fighting the black dragon o’ doom, Wiseman
himself will throw down with you.  And oh yes, we’ve
wanted this.  We’ve wanted this one for many
thousands of years.

---------Boss Battle Fatigue? [C95]

Having trouble with one or the other of these boss
battles?  Here’s my general, late-game boss battle
tip: generally, there’s only one guy, so drop
Guillo’s attacks and have it use Book of Mana.  Book
of Mana saved my bacon on any number of occasions.
Don’t be too free with that MP Burst, because your MP
will be disabled entirely for a time, but whip it out
if you think you’ll survive a good handful of turns.
Perhaps a few Elixers would do you some good, also.
Three or so Fate Idol’s wouldn’t hurt, either.

As for the rest of the deck, stack up Scension,
Ascension, Transcension, and the good old fury of the
gods, and a I-II-III combo for Milly, and that’s
*all*.  One or two pieces of equip each (generally
their most powerful weapon, which is one time use
only, and another one for fun) maybe an equip for
Guillo to use (like Moon-shaped earrings or Warrior’s
Scarf or whatever you fancy) and then maybe 5 or 6
attack cards per level (a little heavier on the
normal attacks than the alternate attacks, since The
Apotheosis will only take normal attacks 1, 2 and 3).

With as few cards as this, your good combos and Books
of Mana naturally come up much, much more often, and
stacking up an Apotheosis:

Weak Attack – Medium Attack – Strong Attack –
Scension – Ascension – Transcension - Godling’s
Rapture

Comes much easier when those are 50% of your final
technique cards.  And Apotheosis cures you of status
ailments and heals you, on top of pretty much
whupping anything in your path.  It’s a beauty.

Or, replace with whatever punishing final attack you
enjoy most (Secret Queen also comes to mind) and put
just those in there.  The point is to stack your deck
with getting the combo off in mind.

You’ll also find that regulating one poor person to
healing every time their turn comes up helps more
than attempting huge three-person relay combos.  Just
an observation.

========Tarazed=======[D10]

After going back and talking to Verus about things,
Tarazed makes itself known.  And it sounds like
somebody is dipping heavily into the Crazy up there.
Let go put a stop to things.

--------Vega [D11]

Run along until you get to the elevator that used to
work back when we were here before.  A guy will be
crouched in front of it, talk to him twice.  He will
send you northwards to get some plans.  Go north, and
run over to the right side and open that little door
to a residence.  That family from Pherkad is there,
and a magnus pack coupon is hidden on the right side
chest of drawers.

On the left side is Panie’s new residence, and
there’s conveniently a blue flower outside so you can
do all that Coliseum stuff you’ve been meaning to do.

Through to the next screen northeast.  Take the right
fork to the bath area.  In the north exit there’s a
Trigon Band, in the south, nothing more than some
dumbass, and in the bath itself, open all the bath
stalls to get the Sedna House 3 from some guy.

Take the left fork to the café, where there’s a
magnus pack coupon stuck to the sign by the counter,
a chest in the back with Pyre Frock, and the man you
need to talk to is on the second floor, second to the
right.  He tells you how to fix the wires.

Go relay this information to the guy at the elevator
and go down.  Once down here, go right first and find
a magnus pack coupon in the room by the dishes.  Now
go northwest.  At the next elevator, go west under
the bridge to see the ‘concert-hall,’ go north to the
magnus shop.

Take this elevator up, now there are three exits, and
a quest from the retards on rockets here.  To the
northwest is a trader’s house (Lalune) and some Spark
Shrooms.  There’s also a magnus pack coupon in the
chest of drawers.  To the south is the port,
unfortunately, not the level we parked at.  To the
north is our ultimate destination: Tarazed, home of
the Empire.

----------Map of Tarazed [D12]

Inside, there’s a blue and red flower for your saving
convenience.  Through the right door is basically a
dead end.  Through the left door will bring you to
Block E (the Main Block) trolley station, a chest
containing Idios Pyr, and a paper on the ground.  Use
the control panel on the left to get the transport
working and hop in.  To Block A!  Helpful maps below!

--------Block A [D13]

In the Sadal Suud Control Room, get the Elite
Imperial Crest from the ground on the left, use it on
the door.

Once through, go across the walkway to a new room.  A
tricky room.  You have to keep holding down B, and
fly quickly through the maze, but you can’t touch any
of the walls.  Break at the blue squares, and keep
trying until you do.

Back out, two hallways right back down escalator to
level 2. Go either direction for escalators down to
level 1.  Second-left door: another two ‘reports’ and
a chest with Wild God

Return to the main block, exit to the save flowers,
and go down the carefully hidden stairway to the
right and exit out eastward.  Use the Elite Crest on
the control panel here to reverse the direction of
the escalators.  Go up the escalators in the Main
Block, go up again to see Baelheit walking away.  Get
the Elixer in the chest, and go up again.  Go into
the first room up here, grab the Holy Garb, and start
the emergency elevator. Take it down to the bottom,
reverse all the escalators back to their original
configurations, and return to the fourth floor via
elevator.

Here, there is yet another ‘report’ and a new trolley
that will take us to B, C, and D.

----------Block B [D14]

Remember, I recommended that you switch the
escalators back to their original configurations, and
then take the emergency elevator back to the fourth
floor of the Main Block and take the trolley over to
Block B.  Head to the Diadem Control Room first, and
then make your way down the escalators for those
pieces of paper, and a magnus pack coupon in Room*,
if you care.  You can simply return to the Main Block
via the trolley at the first floor, and take the
emergency elevator back to the fourth floor trolley.

In the B Block Control Room Maze, you have to: go
right and down, go straight up, go right, and then go
down and left to a dead end.  NOW, the blocks will
change and allow you to get to the north exit.

-----------Block C [D15]

The maze is about the same as always, but there’s a
bathroom on the fifth floor with Blast Tooth and
another report paper.

----------Block D [D16]

The maze in this block is another one where you have
to go left and make it to the end before the blocks
switch.  Then you have to go right and down and
inside to get them to switch again.  Then, an
extremely complicated maneuver around and to the
north.  One last twisty move and you’re out.

---------The Bridge [D17]

Once you’re all set, go back to the Main Block and
jump through the window to lay down the hurt on
whoever is still left in there.  There is one more
paper report on the dias floor, and then just exit
through the door to the north. There will be,
awaiting you,

(1)     the man you came in here after
(2)     a number of plot twists, just for you
(3)     a boss battle or two.

Here’s a heads up.  The first fight will involve only
Sagi.  Very unfortunate, you might say, as you have
stacked yourself up with Books of Mana and other
things that only the other two can use.  Woe be you
if you don’t have the deck loaded with general
healing items and Sagi’s higher attacks.

But, it’s not strictly necessary to die and change
your deck up.  You only have to do so much damage
before the battle will be over, and then Milly and
Guillo will rejoin you for the second fight.  In
comparison to some of the epic battles we’ve been in
thus far, it’s a pittance of damage, really.

Now, the real battle.

I already wrote a late-game boss battle strategy in
general terms up above, so I’m going to continue
onwards while you scroll back up there to find that.

--------Tarazed’s Core [D18]

Oh ho, you thought you were done, did you.  That
would be entirely too straightforward, too
predictable, too *tame* for this series.  In other
words, you thought wrong.

Take the right elevator deal to go back to the 1F
control room and save, or take the left elevator to
go to the inner workings of Tarazed after He Who Has
Clearly Gone Crazy.  Down here, if you try and push
the button and summon the handy elevator, again, I’ll
have to break it to you that the game isn’t going to
be that nice to you.  In fact, if you push the
button, some baddies will show up for battle.

Instead, you’ll have to jump down level by level, by
the piping in the back – the side of the shaft
farthest away from you.  Jump down here (there’s a
chest with some sort of fire hat in it) and then jump
down again.  At the third level, you’ll have to jump
off the back end (again, farther away from you, the
player).  There’s a chest here with Phoenix Dive.

Move all the way to the left and jump down again,
then exit out the left.

You’re getting warmer… Exit to the right and to the
north to get to what seems like a fork in the road.
But both exits take you to the same screen, so pick
whichever huge beastie suits your fancy (the chest
has Milly’s Open Your Eyes, by the way) and exit
left. The chest here has Lightendrake’s Drop, keep
moving left.

There seems to be an elevator for your use on the
next screen, but it is simply a mysterious piece of
machinery (not that you can get it to respond to you
anyway) so let’s just keep moving left and jump down
for Transcension.

Jump down again for a red save flower, and then to
the right and down for a Book of Mana.  Then jump
down near the middle towards the back to exit.

All the way on the left and up a bit is a chest with
FellStar Gleam, and the exit is in the back,  You can
sneak by that beastie very, very slowly, if you like.

Reminder: this is it.  That elevator back up to the
surface is your very, very last chance to leave this
place before events head downhill to the end.

---------The End [D19]

You want a heads up on the final boss battle?  Very
well.  This will be a series of fights, like in the
Coliseum, where you do not get a break in between.
The first two fights are more or less the same.
There are bad purple tentacles, and you’ve got to
take them out.  These things happen.

You might want to take the time as you’re polishing
off the second group of tentacles to set up a Guillo
finisher.  Remember how I was suggesting earlier in
my boss battle strategies to dump Guillo’s final
attacks?  Well not in this case.  Once you get to
Round 3 of this battle and are actually facing off
against the final boss, he will be flanked by four
tentacles.

Furthermore, no damage can be done to the boss AT ALL
if even one of these tentacles is alive and active.
Oh they go down quickly enough, but he can
resuscitate them just as fast if not faster.  A good
plan is to have Guillo just go all out and punish all
five at once with Frigid Ice Parade, and if THAT
doesn’t kill them all, then, I’m not sure what I can
do for you, because like I said, they all need to be
dead before you can unleash on the main guy.

After all that, if you have been following the
walkthrough, and, specifically, went back into the
past to defeat Wiseman, he will helpfully show up
once more to eat your mortal souls.  Your hearts,
anyway.  And Round 2 is just as unforgiving as Round
1.  Maybe even less so.  There’s some cool
discussion, in case you feel like you weren’t missing
out, and then you get really down to business.

Don’t worry, if you die here, you just get Try Again,
and, frankly, it’s a good time to rearrange your deck
back to the ‘One Enemy’ mode, because those Book of
Mana (and maybe even Fate’s Kiss) could come in real
handy right about now.  Beat him.  ‘Nuff said.

As with every other cliché in the known world, you’ll
need to escape the crumbling fortress after you
defeat the final boss, so get to it – I hope you
remember how we came in.  There’s some more scenes on
your way out, but there’s little you can do about any
of them.  For instance, there are three extra
sequences here if you let the others live, but
simply… no scenes if you did not, and then you get
out, as you may expect, and you get to watch the
extremely question-provoking ending.  The end.  Or,
New Game+, as the trend has been.

=====A Final Word======= [D20]

And you certainly don’t have to read this.  It is
only an opinion.  And no, I’m not going to get into
the argument about what IS going on at the end,
because I don’t know, and I’m not sure I really care
either way.  I’ve maintained a lot of non-spoilerism
for this FAQ, and I want to see that through to the
end, anyway.  Some more closure would have been nice,
that’s all I’m going to say about it.

No, I want to sit down and have a talk with you about
research science.  Lately, I feel like we (I work in
research science) have been portrayed in an extremely
negative light, i.e. Baiten Kaitos one AND two,
Xenosaga, Spider-Man, Final Fantasy VII, Heroes, The
Hulk, The Fantastic 4, X-Men 3, The Fly, The
Incredibles, Kim Possible, Frankenstein, Resident
Evil, and on and on.

I’m just here to say: we’re not all evil.  I mean.
Seriously people.  Find somebody else to pin evil
deeds on.  Not all of us reanimate the dead or create
sentient droids or mutate humans and animals.  Can
you no longer find someone else to portray as the
bringers of Armageddon?  It’s bad press.  Don’t make
me develop a massive high-tech missile to bring down
on you.  Because I work in research science.

That’s all I had to say.

==========Credits========= [Z60]

As a matter of fact, I did all of this myself, but a
hearty thank you to the boards, as always, for their
undying efforts to right people who have gone wrong
somewhere in the game.  Here’s to you, tireless
people who respond every time someone has a HoloHolo
bird question!  And, of course, to Sage of the Wise
et al,who created an EX Magnus FAQ, which is
awesomely far beyond my capabilities.

And of course, I think it’s my responsibility to
thank the game’s creators, Tri-Crescendo,
Monolithsoft, Namco, et al.

==========Contacting Me======== [Z70]

I’m got a gmail account that I check periodically
(you should be able to guess what it is, yes?), but I
hope you don’t contact me unless you’re helpfully
trying to fill in any of my blanks for this document
and this document alone.  After all, Ryokazendriel
Qin’Xanthanthalas is quite the mouthful to be saying
if you have nothing to say, right?
