Copyright November, 2006 by Sister (C. Minguez)
Version 1.0
Version 1.2 - Fixed a bunch of little mistakes.
Version 2.0 - Added unofficial sidequests: Sedna, Heartflask, Field Guide,
and Coliseum
Version 2.1 - Fixed a few more typos and added info from markinct and Cathy G.
Version 2.2 - Added Rank 5 glitch info from Nestor_Elias (sidequest 95)
Version 2.3 - Added further info/a possible solution to the Rank 5 glitch
from dragonlady
There are now two sections to the guide: Official and Unofficial. Ctrl + F
if you want to skip straight to the second section. "Official" sidequests
are those specifically listed as quests in the menu - the 100 of them. The
"unofficial" are sidequests despite the fact that they're not specifically
called that by the game.
Most of these I found on my own, but I got help from the boards, too. I didn't
write everyone's names down at the time because I hadn't planned on writing
a faq, so I'm sorry if I don't mention you by name. I do remember help from
Crystalorbie and Celsius. Thanks to im317 and morninglight for their threads
on the sidequests. That's how I found the Vega Thunderbolts (I'd missed them
twice). And thanks to ryokazendriel and his faq. I had tried many items on the
laughing man before I found him in his faq (the joke should have been obvious,
I guess, but I kept trying heartbreaking songs and extreme stress :P).
Special thanks to markinct for his encouragement and help, especially with
his checklists. He's made several Excel lists that are wonderfully helpful
for collecting magnus and keeping up with Pac's eating, but I don't know how
to put them into Notepad without destroying them. I still haven't managed to
finish Pac; thanks to DrWobbler for posting the last prizes on the board. I
have finished all the others though, so the rewards listed should be okay.
If you remember helping me and I don't have you mentioned, just email me and
I'll fix it. :)
Copyright stuff: This is my work and if you plan to make money from it, I'll
expect you to send me my share. I have no plans for it beyond Gamefaqs. If you
want to post it on your site and you offer free game help, you're welcome to
use it. If you find mistakes/additions I need to fix/include, just email me
at
[email protected].
There is no particular order for the sidequests. I'm numbering simply for the
sake of convenience and roughly in the order I came to them. In most cases,
return to the person who asked for help to claim your reward. Keep in mind
that sidequests may become available long before you can finish them. They're
listed here in the order I received the request, not in the order in which
they were completed.
Also, make a note to yourself that the three items unavailable after you enter
Tarazed are Warm Cheers/Icy Jeers and the Tub-time Greythorne. All three must
be fed to Pac-Man and Warm Cheers are needed for one sidequest in Pherkad, so
be sure to get those before you go to Tarazed. Don't misunderstand - you can
go to Vega; just don't pass through the big golden doors to the emperor's
quarters - that's officially Tarazed. Warm Cheers and Icy Jeers are just like
Light and Dark Powder; they rotate back and forth every so often.
Have fun!

Speak to the plant-watching girl at the orphanage. Give her either a

early I initiate this quest.
45. Un-wanted posters
Where: Pherkad
Who: Sagi
Reward: Purple Beans
Remove the five posters from around town. As each comes down, you will
gain access to different areas. After you have all five, talk to the
artist in his house for the reward. If you're doing Pac-Man, keep one
of each poster to age. It takes a loooooong time for them to finish
(update from markinct: it takes 35 hours to age the posters).
46. The search for Quzman
Where: Pherkad
Who: Taymiya
Reward: Magnus Pack Coupon
Go see Quzman in the Mintaka prison and send him home. Then go back to
his wife for your reward.
47. Pac-Man
Where: Pherkad
Who: Quzman
Reward: Pac-Man, Pac-Land, Pac-Mania, Beast Chains, Beast Collar,
and Beast Shackles
You must feed Pac-Man 147 different types of Quest Magnus. I found it
enormously helpful to print off a list (I used markinct's) and
check the magnus off as I went. You must pen Pac in with permanent quest
magnus like the communicator, dog tags, and travel log or he will eat
every edible quest magnus in your inventory. The one upside to this is
that he makes short work of troublesome magnus like Chronic Fatigue.
I stalled out at 145 the first time I played. When you start
the second time, Pac's eating count starts at 77. Of course, since you
have no way of knowing which 77, just start feeding him. On my current
playthrough, my count is at 142 with only twelve items left that I
haven't fed him, so starting at 77 did me little good - frustrating.
--Just a note about Holy Droplets--
I don't know why, but often Holy Droplets will turn to Pristine Water
before Pac has time to eat the droplet. If you give Pac a droplet then
check your quest inventory and find a Pristine Water that wasn't there
before (it will bounce into another slot - don't know why), then Pac
did not get the Holy Droplet. I finally just had to give him the droplet
and stand still; walking seems to bounce it. Be careful with this one.
If you're sure you've fed him 147 but your count is at 146, you might
try the Holy Droplet first.
--a note from markinct: The Holy Droplets only change quickly prior to
the fires in the forest (i.e., when still collected from the vine,
I guess). Once they are stored in the vase, they do not seem to
change until taken from the forest.
48. Is my husband unfaithful?
Where: Mintaka
Who: Camilla
Reward: Mars Sophia
Once you've given Almarde the Medic Kit, Paramour's Secret becomes
available from her. Give Paramour's Secret to Camilla; she'll drop
the reward.
49. I'm totally beat...
Where: Pherkad
Who: Chubby Bartender
Reward: Brawn Fruit and Sedna Fence
Draw three rounds of Chronic Fatigue from the bartender at the pub.
You can't discard Chronic Fatigue; it will disappear in a couple of
hours or Pac can eat it.
50. The lightbugs of Nunki
Where: Pherkad
Who: Tree-hugging Granny
Reward: Elemental Talisman
After you've seen Giacomo at the entrance to Rodolfo's, this woman will
be standing across from the pub. You must agree to help with the light-
bugs for her to give you the Holy Leaf, which allows you to carry Holy
Droplets. Once you've moved all the bugs, go back to see her.
51. Citizens wanted!
Where: Sedna
Who: Mayor
Reward: Sedna Odd Sculpture
After you've given Maia enough Sedna and people appear, the mayor will
be standing at the save flower. Speak to him to receive the Immigration
Papers. Show the papers to five people:
1. Girl in doctor's house in Sheratan
2. Girl in laundry/well room in Pherkad
3. Man sitting on the left side of the port screen in Sheliak (he's
just been dumped by his girl)
4. Man sitting on the left bench in the room with the fantail ducks
in Komo Mai
5. Girl standing top/right outside in Gemma Village.
You'll know you have the right people because they want to live
elsewhere. Once you've sent them all to Sedna, go back to the mayor.
He'll give you the Sedna piece and take the Immigration Papers off your
hands.
52. The lost grandpa
Where: Coliseum
Who: Registration Lady
Reward: Makes Rank 3 available at the coliseum

times. In order, "Walk closer," "Walk down," and "Walk closer."

57. I'm still growing! Part deux
Where: Castle Elnath
Who: Knight of Diadem
Reward: Magnus Pack Coupon
This becomes available immediately following your Pow Cheese turning
the sickly knight into a bruiser. His friend wants the nice one back, so
you need to give him Fluella Cooties. There's a new patient in the
clinic from whom you can draw once; after that you have to make them.

Where: Komo Mai
Who: Election Staff
Reward: Versus Shield, Chalice of Freedom, Fate Idol, and
Elbow Grease Tea
To start this quest, give a Traditional Komo Mai Cookie to Staff Chief
Razor ("the old geezer"); he's in a black tophat in the Lefty HQ (left
side of the School of Magic). He'll give you a staff pin and ask you to
collect ballots. You must get nine to complete the quest. You can return
to Komo Mai at anytime in the game to complete these requests.
1. Nervous Guardsman - left room in palace; give him water to drink (he
won't ask for it until later in the game). I always give him Pristine
Water since it's available nearby, but others might work, too.
2. Toothless Boy - near save flower - give him a Heartbreaking Song.
3. Outdoor Merchant - guy at table near save flower - give him
Paramour's Secret or Treasure Lowdown. Mother-in-Law's Secret would
probably work, too, but I haven't tested it.
4. Unfunny Man - port - give him Poor Excuse for a Joke (available in
same room as Nervous Guardsman).
5. Cookie Dealer - port - give him ten Traditional KM Cookies (you can
get Good Times from him after that).

blocked) - give him a Stone (he won't take it until later in the
game).
9. Zoned-Out Man - upper level of port - give him Fresh Air. He's also
your source for Chronic Fatigue in this area.
-Turn in Election Ballots to Staff Chief Razor as you get them.
-After six ballots, he'll give you the Versed Shield.
-After nine ballots, he'll give you the Chalice of Freedom.
-After the speech telling you to leave Komo Mai, walk over to the Lefty
Candidate, and he'll give you the Fate Idol.
-Now leave Komo Mai (Opu's far enough) and return. After all the thank-
you's, speak to Lefty Secretary (used to be Lefty Candidate) for the
Elbow Grease Tea.
*markinct tells me that this quest works just the same with the
Righties except that they don't send you in search of their wandering
candidate.
67. Fruit scavenging
Where: Holoholo Jungle

Throw a stone at it to get the Holoholo Fruit out of the tree. Use that

Go see the old man next door to the orphanage in Sheratan (Disc 2 only);
he wants Sagi to help with research, so he'll give you the Heart Link.
From now on, anytime you meet a greythorne that is "looking straight
into my heart," you can pour Salty Water on it to trade bodies. There
are people around the world who will only speak of their secrets to
the greythornes. To complete the sidequest, you must speak to everyone
at eleven locations. Again, be sure to speak to everyone in the screen
at each location. After you've done a few, return to Sheratan and
speak to the old man (I didn't count, sorry) for the Catfish King's
Whiskers.
1. Gena - orphanage (you can receive half-baked greythornes from
her here [one at a time] as long as you talk to her BEFORE you give
her the heartenbrace)
2. Ladekahn - Castle Elnath (Greythorne Storybook available)
3. Gibari, Anna, etc. - Nashira Pub

room in his house
6. Skeed - Camilla's house, Mintaka
7. Palolo - Pherkad Laundry Room
8. Queen Corellia - Komo Mai
9. Rodolfo - Pherkad
10. Lolo - Opu - speak to her as a greythorne until the greythorne closes
its heart to you (seven times if I counted correctly). You can't
do this one until after you've given Lolo the Gust Boulder.
11. All the greythornes in Moonguile Forest in Sadal Suud. Sagi will
trade places with the gray one; the pink one will have Graythorne's
Song to draw.
After you've seen everyone, go straight up from where Sagi's standing
in Moonguile Forest (as a greythorne, of course) for an exclamation
point to appear. Hit A then go into the spring to get a message. You may
now draw Spring-Lord's Voice. The sidequest is now done, so return to
Sheratan for the Vanishing Cloak.

This one must be done as a greythorne. He wants Pow Milk.
85. A Dark Service disaster?!
Where: Dark Service HQ
Who: Geldoblame
Reward: Attack Talisman
Check your mail to get this sidequest. The soldier kneeling in the
strategy room will tell you what to do. To double-check the code numbers
for input, check your Valuables in the menu.
86. A pickax to remember him by
Where: Azha Village
Who: Juwar
Reward: Heat Camouflage and Hero's Pickax
Speak to Juwar in the mines near the conveyor belts. Take the pickax
to where Bien died (there's a small, dark cloud there) then return to
Juwar. You can get Hero's Pickax from him from now on.
87. Almarde's Request 3
Where: Azha Village
Who: Almarde
Reward: Magnus Pack Coupon
This one must be done as a greythorne. Give her Goopy Machina Oil.
88. The zoologist's wish
Where: Celestial Tree
Who: School Zoologist
Reward: Cross Pendant and Speed Talisman
This is the bird kid on the left in front of the Celestial Tree. Give
him a Mountain Apple.
89. Lolo and the waterwheel
Where: Opu Village
Who: Lolo
Reward: Twelve-Layered Kimono
Give Lolo a Gust Boulder.
90. Pancakes need syrup!
Where: Cebalrai

Joke.
92. Almarde's request 4
Where: Azha Village
Who: Almarde
Reward: Crimson Love

93. Gather the rock-people!
Where: Nekkar
Who: Sagi
Reward: Imperial Ward and Life Talisman
This becomes available after you beat the boss at the summit of Nekkar.
Find the three stones that look like people and push them to the summit.
I find this sidequest to be maddening, but it seems to help to get a grip
if you sneak up on the stones rather than run.
**Slight Spoiler**
I would recommend going to Rasalas and helping the new daddy name his
baby before you come here.
94. Elevator repair
Where: Vega
Who: Middle-Aged Man
Reward: Book of Mana (and elevator works)
Go to the cafe and speak to the engineer (he's in the higher section at
a table by himself) then go back and and choose Blue and Green.
95. Emergency call
Where: Coliseum
Who: Registration Lady
Reward: Sagi achieves Rank 5
Go check your mail in Vega then go see Panie in the room closest to the
save flower. I've read on the board that there's a glitch here. If you
make small talk with the Registration Lady, it can keep you from hitting
Rank 5 somehow. This has never happened to me (I've played three times
now), so I don't know the particulars. Just don't talk to her until
you're Champion.
Received some info about this glitch from Nestor_Elias:
"The Coliseum 'rank 5 glitch' is as follows: if you speak to the
registration lady after Terazed has appeared outside Alfard (on
the world map) but before actually traveling to Vega, a glitch happens
where you cannot trigger a key cutscene with Mr. Panie in Vega and thus
cannot complete the rank quest. If this happens, you will be stuck at
rank 4 for the rest of the game. Moral of the story: do not speak to
the registration lady until after you reach Vega."
Thanks a lot, Nestor_Elias!
From
[email protected]:
"I'm writing about your comment regarding level 5 of the coliseum. Well,
I got stuck, never got the letter in Vega. It was very late in my game
and I still couldn't get above level 4 at the coliseum. I even went back
and talked to every character in the game, with no luck. Then, when I
read in your walkthrough at gamefaqs that if you talked to the girl at
the counter (which I did after almost every fight) that it caused a
glitch that kept you from going to level 5. Well, I think I may have
found a way to correct it, at least it worked for me. I needed some money
so I went back to the coliseum and I started the fights over, in order,
beginning with level one to find out which paid the most money. I always
push the buttons fast after a fight (who doesn't), but one time I thought
I saw the word Vega whiz by. I didn't remember her mentioning Vega before
so I fought again and read what she said after, but no Vega. I ran to the
post office in Vega, just in case, but no mail. I was really disappointed
but then I thought to check my quests, and there it was, the quest to get
level 5. I don't remember how many fights before this happened, but it
was somewhere on level one. I remember noticing that it was no longer at
zero (perhaps speaking to her can reset the numbers), which I thought was
strange. I believe I got the Quest when it hit zero again but I can’t be
absolutely sure because I saved in between, so I couldn’t try again to be
certain, so I’d be curious to know if anyone out there, who’s stuck like
I was, would test it to be sure. I hope this is helpful to someone."
Thanks so much, dragonlady!
96. The Vega Thunderbolts
Where: Vega
Who: Shaun
Reward: Fate's Kiss and "warping" around Vega
Take the elevator nearest the shop in Vega up. There will be three pods
in a row on the right side. Give a Lightning Shroom to the first guy.
He'll give you Fate's Kiss and offer to give you a lift anywhere you
want to go in Vega. He'll have a friend stationed at the entrance from
now on to give you rides, too.
The last four quests involve the Old Researcher. You can only talk to him
after you become Champion at the Coliseum. He's in the Champion's Room (one
of the doors on the left wall in the Coliseum). Now you know why those four
enemies never disappeared. :)
97. Ruler of the skies
Where: Coliseum
Who: Old Researcher
Reward: Holoholo Bird (without chicks) may be fought at Coliseum
Give him a Holoholo Bird Plume from the jungle.
98. A living fossil
Where: Coliseum
Who: Old Researcher
Reward: Lord of the Lava Caves now available at the Coliseum
Give him Lava Lord Skull from the Lava Caves.
99. Relive the Nightmare
Where: Coliseum
Who: Old Researcher
Reward: Black Dragon now available at the Coliseum
Give him Black Dragon Horn from Atria.
100. Peril of the sands
Where: Coliseum
Who: Old Researcher
Reward: Sandfeeder now available at the Coliseum
Give him Sandfeeder Silk from the Sandfeeder Pit.
Unofficial Sidequests
These are sidequests that aren't listed among the 100 sidequests in the quest
menu. All of them must be done, however, if you're trying to get all the
magnus in your gathering. The Coliseum must be done to finish all the official
sidequests.
Sedna
Rewards: Rainbow Fruit, Migraine Mirror, Moon-Shaped Earring, Star-Shaped
Earring, Sword-Shaped Earring
Sedna is a town accessible only via the blue save flowers; it becomes open
after you defeat the Sandfeeder. Your job is to collect all the Sedna magnus
and take them to Maia in order to bring the town back. Below is a listing of
all of them and their locations.
Sedna Bridge - defeat Sandfeeder (past)
Sedna Mailbox - Naos, stuck in globe in Seph's room
Sedna Toadstones 1 - beat first enemy on left in Lava Caves
Sedna House 1 - defeat Lord of Lava Caves
Senda Flower Bed - give Eau de Mouche to Celeb Lady (screen left of the
port) in Sheliak

Sedna Peach Tree - chest in Cloudvents
Sedna Beanstalk - shining on ground in Cujam after town deserted
Sedna Fence - take 3 Chronic Fatigue from bartender in Pherkad Pub

Sedna Light - sealed chest in Endmost Bethel will open after you have the
other Sedna
Heart Flask
Rewards: None
The Heart Flask is a strange little sidequest. From the screen where you get
Mother Sunshine in the Nihal Desert, run left off the screen. You'll come to
a hidden cave. Inside will be Georg and Larikush. Speak to Georg, and he will
give you the Heart Flask. After that, you carry it until it changes, after
which you take it back to Georg for inspection. In all, there are five forms
of the Heart Flask. Its only purpose as far as I can tell is to fill in five
spots in the magnus list. Once you're done (and it takes a long while for it
to age to its final form), Georg will take it back and basically tell you to
scram (man, is he a cold fish!). You get no prize, no reward, so there's
no real purpose except to complete the gathering. Of course, if you read the
entry on the final form of the Heart Flask, it says something to the effect
that it feels like a new life is about to be born from the hearts in the
flask - definitely a nod to BK1, but we'll not go there for those of you
who haven't played that game yet.
Field Guide
Rewards: Hermit's Cane, Fate Idol, Poison Ashes, Berserker Drink, Harp of
Slumber, Tarot Card: Death, Hero's Crest, Purest Gold
I am not listing the entire Field Guide here. I did a separate faq for that
because it's a good bit of information. In a nutshell, speak to the doctor
in Sheratan when you arrive, and he will give you the Field Guide. As you
fight enemies, it will fill in with the enemy/monster name and picture,
special skills, and items dropped. To get all eight prizes, you must get them
all. Like the magnus, your entries carry over to the next game. Since the
final bosses have entries, you can't complete it in one playthrough. Rather,
you can't collect your final prizes. If you achieve 100% the first time you
play, Doc should give you all eight prizes just after you get the guide your
next time through. Just keep talking to him.
Coliseum
To gain access to the Coliseum, look for The Wussy Guy in Mintaka early in
the game; just look for a new face around the port - that'll be him. He'll
give you the Dog Tags. After that, you can go to the Coliseum from any blue
save flower.
For each rank, you must earn the necessary Rank Points (RP) and fulfill a
request by the Registration Lady (always received via mail at the shops). Each
of her requests is considered a separate "official" sidequest, so you'll fill
in a few of those as you go.
Rising through the ranks is pretty self-explanatory. Just fight everything in
each rank at least once then keep fighting until the points needed to the next
level reach zero. Then wait for your letter from the Registration Lady.
The Registration Lady will tell you that you're ready to move up a
rank, but "sadly, we have no jobs available" or something like that. I don't
know why, but sometimes she'll tell tell you this when, in fact, you're not
ready. She will tell me this when I still have RP to go, so be aware that
she jumps the gun from time to time; just keep an eye on your points and make
sure you have all you need. If you don't, you'll never get the letter with
the job for the next rank.
In Sheliak, you should receive your first letter (if you've earned enough
points to move to Rank 2). You'll be sent to the clinic and there will be a
scene with Elle. This request is never listed as a sidequest, but you're not
allowed to turn it now. It's just part of the whole Coliseum thing. Take the
medicine to the Registration Lady to receive Rank 2.
Your next letter should arrive in Pherkad. You will escort Mr. Lance through
Nunki Valley then see the Registration Lady to achieve Rank 3.
You will now be warned by Ark to lose to Snare. Ignore him.
In Komo Mai (Disc 2), you will be sent to Mr. Panie's house (first house
near the entrance to Komo Mai). Report back to the Registration Lady for
Rank 4.
To reach Rank 5, check your mail at the shop in Vega then go see Mr. Panie.
He has moved to the room closest to the save flower in Vega (not far from
where you entered the city). Now go back to the Coliseum, see the scene, and
report to the Registration Lady. I have read that making small talk with the
the Registration Lady can somehow glitch Rank 5. In three times, this hasn't
happened to me, so I don't know the particulars, just don't make small talk
until you're Champion. :)
Once you hit Rank 5, just get the points necessary to enter the Champsionship
Fight.
The Advanced Battles are all purely optional with the exception of the first
one. If you want the ???? prize for 99,999 RP, you must have beaten every
1-5 Rank Battle, the Championship Fight, AND The Wicked Gawd. This makes
that prize available. If you want Gena's Pinion and you want to finish Pac-
Man, you must get this prize.
And that's about it. The rest is just a question of getting through the
fights. I'm listing all the enemies in the different ranks/battles, so if
you need one in particular, you can go straight to it. The Coliseum is a
great place to farm particular items (like Tonitrus Armor from Holoholo Bird
if you're trying to get all of the upgrades or Apocalypse Sword from the
Black Dragon) and to fill in missing places in your Field Guide.
Fights at the Coliseum are gauntlet fights, i.e. you'll fight several rounds
in a row to win that battle. This can be abused to rack up major amounts of
TP to build your class at the End Bethel. Your decks, discards will max out
at eight decks, sixty cards, and eight discards; after that, raising your
class speeds up how quickly your MP replenishes.
