1.0 Introduction
================
This is the second Summon Night game for the GBA and although it's labeled
"2", it's not a sequel. It doesn't continue the story with Cleru and the
other characters from the first game. What they've done is keep the
same battle system, the same weapons forging and the nightly
conversations. Here's the prologue...
The mystical world of Reinbaum.
The story begins on the top of a cliff in a small village. Our hero
(player can also play as a heroine) is a 15 year old boy who is a
*craftsman apprentice. He lost both parents at a young age and has now
been raised by his father's close friend, also a craftsman.
In the village exists a ruin where a horrifying beast that has been sealed.
Only the hero is permitted to enter.
One day, the hero loses to a friend in a match and so had to guide the
friend into the ruins. What our hero didn't know was that the friend was
planning to revive the sealed beast. Due to our hero's trust in the friend,
the seal is broken. Our hero must now seal it once more before it is
completely revived.
Together with his partner, the Guardian Beast, they set off on a journey to
find the Demon Blade that will seal the beast once more. Our hero is also
determined to ascertain what the friend's true intentions are...
So what's new in this second game?
- A variety of interactive outdoor environments.
- Interact with the environments using all 6 types of weapons.
- Fishing mini game.
- 200+ weapons to craft.
- Weapons can now also be upgraded and repaired.
- Earn your rank as a craftsman.
- Hero/Heroine can now transform during battles.
- Take control of Gunvard, a huge mechanical robot.
- Voice samples.
Developer: Banpresto
Release Date: 20th August 2004
Price: 6000 Yen
* Note that the Kanji actually means "blacksmith". However, since the title
is "craftsword", I thought it be best if I left it as "craftsman" instead
just like I did in the first guide.

next to the name indicating the area number.

weapons and one piece of accessory. Use the L and R buttons to switch

Everything's pretty self-explanatory here. The Move option allows you to
choose how your character moves normally. Running or walking.
===================
4.0 Forging Weapons
===================
Forging weapons will play a common role in the game and you can forge
weapons by using the huge furnace in your room at the workshop. To
forge a weapon though, you will require the basic material and items to
make it.
Itemss are found by exploring the Summon Night world. Usually by
smashing boxes and barrels. You'll also get them by defeating monsters
too. Basic materials are usually found inside treasure chests. Leaving an
areaand entering it again will renew the barrels and boxes but NOT the
treasure chests.
While in the first game, your weapons durability is renewed after a battle,
this time round it isn't. You have to maintain them by going back to your
workshop or by using special items such as the Sharpening Stone or
Polishing Stone.
Just like the last game, you can destroy your opponent's weapon during a
battle to learn how to forge it.
In general, the axe and drill type weapons are best in breaking
other weapons. Here is a little more about each weapon type:
Sword Type - A weapon in which speed and attack power is normal when
used. But when attacked by hard mechanical enemies it'll
break easily. Used for cutting grass.
Axe type - Slow weapon but effective for breaking other weapon types.
Using for cutting down tree trunks.
Spear type - Long reach and attack multiple weapons at once.
Effective for attacking enemies in the air and enemies
that attack from a long range. Used for reaching far away
items such as the fruit on trees or out of reach chests etc.
Knuckle type - Allows you to hit enemies quickly and since it's designed
with speed, it's effective against fast enemies. It's not as
strong as the axe type but it can send enemies flying! Used
for moving boulders.
Drill type - A tough weapon that's hard to break against solid enemies
and a high damage dealing weapon!? Like the axe type, it can
break an opponent's weapon easily. Used for drilling
through those weak looking walls and doors.
Now that we've explained the basics, lets explain the menu when you
access the furnace.
Create
Repair
Both are pretty self-explanatory. Pick 'Create' and you can pick a weapon
to make as long as you have the basic material and the items to forge it
with. Pick the items you want to use to make it and you're away.
Repair will restore all your weapons you possess back to their original
conditions.
As your rank grows as a craftsman, you will get additional options. Once
you get your first promotion, you'll be a general craftsman and you'll get
'Dismantle'. You can now dismantle those old weapons to re-make them using
new items. The options will then look like this:
Create
Dismantle
Repair
The next option you get is "Upgrade" which will allow you to mix more items
into your weapon. At first you can only add 1 out of 3. As your grade
grows, you will be able to fill in the other 2 slots too. Upgrading your
weapons can give it all sorts of extra attributes such as elemental damage.
Your menu will look like this once you have this new option:
Create
Upgrade
Dismantle
Repair
The order of craftsman ranking is as follows:
Apprentice Craftsman
General Craftsman
No. 1 Craftsman of the Village
Well Known Craftsman
Top Class Craftsman
Heroic Craftsman
Lengendary Craftsman
Apart from ATK, DEF, AGL and DUR, you'll also notice that there is a yellow
TEC bar for your weapons. A high number of TEC points means it's
easier to perform a critical hit, better blocking and better duration. To
increase your TEC points for a weapon, just use it to defeat enemies in
battles. Dismantling a weapon will not reset your TEC points.
===========
5.0 Battles
===========
Battles are real-time in this game and takes place in a side scrolling
screen.
At the bottom of the screen, there will be two bars. The red bar will
be your health and the green bar is your weapon's durability. When
this falls to zero, your weapon will break and it'll be gone. You'll
have to make a new one afterwards. So, be sure to keep an eye on this and
repair it when you need to.
The yellow, spots to the right indicates how many time you may call upon
your Guardian Beast for support such as casting a spell or giving you an
item you equipped. They are restored after each battle.
D-Pad - Move around the screen
A - Attack the enemies with the weapon you're equipped with. Some
weapons will allow you to hold the A button to charge up your
attacks.
B - Use whatever's active in the row with the R.
R - Cycle through the row of items next to the R. These can be
items, spells and the guard move.
L - Cycle through the weapons you're equipped with.
Start - Pause the game.
======================
6.0 The Shop & Fishing
======================
Apart from the travellers that are scattered throughout the game, you can
also obtain items by going to the shop or fishing.
At the shop you can buy, sell or make. You can tell what most of the items
you can buy do by looking at the effects panel at the right. Here's a list
of the ones that aren't so obvious:
Diary of Memories 250b - Save anywhere you like.
Anti-Demon Charm 1000b - Harder to encounter enemies.
Anti-Demon Note 1000b - Easier to enounter enemies.
The items you can make are fairly obvious too. Pick an item you want
to make and then you must have enough money. You'll also need the right
items to make something. If you have any of the items greyed out then you
can't make it.
Apart from the shop, you can also go fishing in the village.
Fishing is very simple. Start off by picking your bait then you hit A
depending on how far you want to throw your line. Afterwards, it's a
waiting game just like real fishing. When you see the A button flashing,
hit A again then time it so that you have as much of the power bar full as
possible before hitting A again. Keep doing this until you pull it in.
There is a timer to the top left that'll show you how much time you have
left to play.
The further out you cast, the bigger the catch but it also means it takes
longer to lure it in. Also note that the sort of bait you get to use are
the ones your collected during your adventure. So each time you fish,
you'll lose one of these items.
Depending on what you manage to catch, you will get points to exchange
items with. Just talk tot he old man and pick the second option.

her convenience. Contrary to her appearance and manner of speech, she
actually has a pure heart. As an angel, she acts with the thought of others
in mind but she will not allow anything that went against justice and
moral. Usually, the devil wins but when not a lot of horrible things are
done it's the other way round. Her appearance also changes then.

===============
8.0 Walkthrough
===============
As with the last game, you get to pick whether the lead role is a boy or a
girl. I had thought about choosing the girl for this second game but, guess
I'll go the boy Edge after all.
As much as I want to keep to the dialogue script, there's a fair bit of
change depending on which Guardian Beast you pick early in the game. So,
I'll have to stick to a bit of story writing most of the time.
So, after you choose your character, you get to enter a name. At the very
last line of options, you will have an option to enter English characters.
It's the third option from the left. Or you can just press R twice to get
there. Once you're done, press Start and then confirm (top option).
Below is also a few other things you should note.
When you start a new game when you already have some saved data, the game
will ask if you want to transfer what you have over to the new game. This
happens once you've completed the game once. If you choose yes (top) then
the game will let you start off with the same craftsman rank, weapon
materials, monster encyclopaedia, money and fishing points.
There are also sub-quests in each chapters of this second game which
involves:
Looking for a lost cat.
Looking for lost property.
Exchanging and Delivering Items
These sub-quests aren't covered in this walkthrough because you don't
exactly get any special items. To access any of these sub-quests, just talk
to the villagers.
Items can be exchanged for the medals you find scattered throughout the
game. Just talk to the blue haired guy under the stairs in the southern
area of Cliff Village. The more medals you have, the better an item you'll
get.
Finally, the 2 travellers you see during the game sells different rare
items in each chapter. They also give you hints on making a new and
more powerful weapon. Make sure you don't miss them out if you want to
have fun forging new weapons!
- 8.1 Prologue
Edge: Alright!
{Air goes "Yatta!" instead of "Yoshi!" which is more common
for girls. Same meaning.}
It's gone really well so far.
Just a little further...
???: ...Hey.
Edge: If he found out someone got in there then he'll be really
angry... I don't want that to happen...
But I have a promise with Ryouga!
I can't break a man to man promise!
{Obviously Air wouldn't say the last line.}
???: ...Heeello.
Edge: And I'm a craftsman...
A "craftsman"!
A craftsman's promise is harder than steel!
No matter what happens, I will keep my promise!
Ryouga: WATCH OUT!
Edge: Wha?
Ryouga... Huh?!
Ah-!
...Waaaaa!
Ryouga: Edge!
You... You alright?
Edge: Uhahahahaha!
I'm alright, I'm alright!
Really I am!!
Craftmen now only forges their weapons but their bodies
too!
Ryouga: Before you forge your body, watch where you're going!
Man...
You're really still just an apprentice who's helping Berg-
san.
Haha.
Edge: What?
A craftsman is a craftsman.
Ryouga: Well... Your work just gets re-done by Berg-san
anyway right?
Edge: It has nothing to do with my master!
Leading you here to the Gates of Goula was my promise...
Ryouga: Yeah. It's your fault for losing to me so badly.
Edge: That's too far!
Just one more move and I would have won!
Ryouga: No matter what you say, a loss is a loss and a promise is a
promise.
Even though, it's only authorized people who are allowed
in, you have to guide me there.
Edge: I said I know.
Ryouga: Then don't just space out.
It's a cliff so it'll be bad if you fall off.
Edge: Ah... Sorry, I made you worry.
Ryouga: ...Uh-!
Who would be worried about you!
Lets go!
Edge: Ah, wait Ryouga...
So hurry on up after him.
Ryouga: Hurry up.
Without you, I can't get into the Gates of Goula.
Edge: I said sorry.
You're the one that went on ahead.
Ryouga: ...Hmmm.
Edge: The Gates of Goula is ahead...
Ryouga... Do you really want to go inside?
There's a terrifying sealed beast in there.
Ryouga: Like I said, I want to see it.
The monster from another world that may have the power to
destroy this world...
And don't you think it's unfair that you can see it as many
times as you want? It's amazing.
Edge: Amazing you say...
Ryouga: What...?
Could it be...
You're afraid of the seal of Goula?
Now you have the option of choosing:
I'm not afraid of some seal.
I'm really scared...
Either way, Edge goes onto looking at the memento of his father and Ryouga
will ask if he's not happy staying with Berg. Edge says he is happy and
thinks of Orca and Tantan just like his own relatives. Ryouga says that he
envies Edge but so does Edge since Ryouga's with a beautiful girl named
Rinri. Suddenly they hear a voice coming from the direction of Edge's old
home. So head on up.
Ryouga: Look, Edge.
Edge: Someone's passed out!
Ryouga: Look carefully. It's not human!
It's a summoned beast!
Edge: ...Ah, that's...
At this point, you get to choose what your Guardian Beast for this game is
just like the first game. It will then stay and help you throughout the
rest of the game. View the Characters section to read up about the 4 you
can choose.
What's passed out?
A robotic soldier
A demon child
A demon
A animal being
Afterwards, you'll find the Guardian Beast (I'll refer to it as GB from
here) on the ground. Something must have attacked it. A weak looking bunny
sort of creature pops out. It couldn't be...
Suddenly, it attacks!
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Raging Bunny |
| HP: 45 |
| EXP: 50 |
| b: 25 |
| ITEM: F Eido |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Note that after defeating the Raging Bunny, you can fight a stronger
version of it again in the later chapters.
Just hammer the Raging Bunny to death. Afterwards, the dialogue
will change slightly depending on which GB you chose. I chose the robot.
There should be a barrier around the village that prevents any such
summoned beasts from entering so Ryouga figures one of the keystones have
been destroyed. Better let the village chief know.
They also find out that the beast is stray which are not allowed in
the village. The beast understands and tries to leave but its injured. Edge
invites it over to his home.
After a bit of self-introduction, you'll get to name your new GB. Then
you're in Berg's house. After some commotion over the GB (again, depends on
which one you chose), Berg decides to show it your the underground
workshop.
There, Berg asks the the beast if it will become Edge's Guardian Beast.
Normally, he would will just make use of a Summon Night stone to forge
weapons but, with the way things are the beast can't stay in the village.
If it was a Guardian Beast then it could. Besides, gathering materials is a
dangerous business so it would be great if Edge had one as his partner.
Once things are agreed, it's time for the oath ceremony. Berg and the
others will be waiting in the open grounds in front of the stone slab. At
this point, you can go to the sword next to the stairs to save your game.
You will be told about it just as you go down the stairs.
Head on out the house and down the stairs then to the west. Go past the guy
with blue hair and up to find them. Now they just have to wait for the
chief who eventually comes to start the ceremony. Just like Edge, he is
also a summoner. In fact, his people was the ones who worked together to
seal Goula. Then he goes onto a rant...
After his rant, the oath is done and Berg asks Edge to come to the
workshop. Ryouga reminds Edge about his promise and to go to his house to
find him once you're ready to set off again.
So head on back to the workshop. It's time for Berg to explain about the
basics of crafting and he will ask Edge if he knows:
Of course!
I'm not really too confident...
After explaining the importance of gathering material to forge weapons,
Berg also says the most important thing is the hammer. He then makes the
new GB practice by striking 100 times. Since Edge is the master, he must do
it together with the GB.
A while later, it's time to make an actual weapon. For a moment, Berg had
Edge thinking that he had to go out and collect material. But, since this
was a special occasion, Berg gives them material to make a sword. He also
hands them some iron stone that will strengthen the sword.
Now head on over to the huge furnace. Pick the first option to "Create".
Keep hitting A to select the sword and the stone then watch your characters
forge.
Once the forging's done, Berg inspects it and gives it an OK rating. The GB
and craftsman will have to work better together to improve themselves. With
that, Berg orders Edge and his GB to sleep in the workshop. As for him,
he'll make good use of Edge's room. He also hands them over some pastry
that Tatan made.
Night falls and Edge is awake with his GB. The GB suggests to go for a walk
and you have the option of:
Yeah, lets go got a walk.
Too bothersome, lets sleep.
From this point onwards, these nightly conversations will popup now and
then. While not essential to the story, it helps with the character
development. Just like the last game, your choices will expand as the game
progresses.
- 8.2 Chapter 1, Breaking of the Seal
Next morning, it's time to head to Ryouga's place.
Before heading downstairs, you might want to save. Once downstairs, head up
the stairs to the left. Go up to the sparkling point to find 200b. After
that, leave the house and go west. Go down the long stairs south then head
on down. Go down the stairs to the right of the old man to find Ryouga.
Talk to him and he'll say he'll go explain to his sister about it first.
Edge is to go on ahead first.
Return to the area where the blue haired guy was earlier. At this point,
you may want to buy another healing item with the 200b you found. You'll
also want to equip the sword you made earlier. See the Menu section for
more info. After that go left past the shop. Go on north pass the girl with
the red clothes. Continue north and turn left where another blue haired guy
is.
As you arrive at the gate you will be reminded about equipping yourself if
you haven't already. Ryouga also arrives. As Edge explains there's a spell
to unlock the gate, a mysterious man appears who calls himself Gedor. He
wants in and grabs Edge's GB to force him to open the gate. Ryouga stands
by quietly.
Inside, it turns out Gedor also wants the sealed beast, Goula so he tries
to force Edge to tell him how to break the seal. Seeing that Edge doesn't
know, he decides to use his own power to break it. Meanwhile, he summon a
monster, Kyatan to keep Edge busy.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Kyatan |
| HP: 200 |
| EXP: 50 |
| b: 50 |
| ITEM: Iron Ore |
+-----------------------------------------------+
After you defeat the Kyatan.
Edge: Get away from the seal!!!
Gedor: Damn it!
Why won't this seal break!!
Now that it's come to this...
I'LL SMASH IT OPEN!
Edge: !!
Gedor: Under the pledge of Gedor, come forth!
Servant of the other world, Kyatan!
Edge: Again...!
GB: {???}
Gedor: Shut up...!
Deal with them...
Ryouga: Stop...
Gedor: KILL THEM ALL!
Ryouga: STOP IT!
Edge: UWAH!
GB: {???}
Edge: ...Ryouga?
Ryouga: ...
Gedor: You...
You're a summoned beast...!
What?
What's happening?
Edge: What?
My heart... it hurts...
Ryouga: The seal...
Reacted to that attack there?
Heh...
So that's how it works...
Hahaha...
I must praise you, Gedor!
Gedor: He's...
Transmitting power to Goula?!
Edge: Wha-!
What are you doing, Ryouga?!
Gedor: He's reviving it!
Edge: What!
Gedor: He's reviving...
Goula!
Edge: Gak!
GB: {???}
Edge: What...?!
What is this feeling...!
Berg: WHAT ARE YOU DOING!
Orca: Edge!
Edge: Orca...
Master...
Stop Ryouga...
Ryouga: ...
Orca: He's... Ryouga?!
That's Ryouga...?!
???: I have been... Waiting...
For this moment...
Berg: Goula's seal...!
Stop it!!!
???: Don't... interfere.
Edge: The sword...!
Sword broken.
Edge: Ma... Master...
GB: ....
Edge: Master...
MASTER!!!
...
AAAAAAAAHH!!
GB: {???}
Ryouga: Oh...?
A Shift huh...
Hu...
Hahaha...
Hahahahaha...
And we have the opening credits and title in English!
???: ...So...
...So...rry...
Edge: ...Da...ddy...?
Greame: Sorry...
Edge...
I've given you... the burden of a...
Tough fate...
Edge: What's wrong...
Daddy?!
Greame: But...
That's all I could do... to... save... you.
Only... with this power.
Edge: What's wrong?
Wake up, daddy!
Greame: Edge...
You're...
Edge: ...
Greame: ...
Edge: DADDY!
*Crie*
DADDY!!!
With that, Edge wakes up in bed. Berg doesn't seem to be badly hurt and is
resting on the second floor while Ryouga has disappeared somewhere now.
Edge is to go see Berg after he wakes up. So go up and find him.
You can't say Berg is doing well but he's not dead either. Since Tatan
doens't know anything, she's shocked when she hears about what Ryouga
really was and what he done. It's now up to Edge to seal Goula again by
finding the Demon Blade. The safety mechanism in the place where the seal
is has been activated and is acting as a barrier between Goula and the
village. But, it's only a matter of time before he breaks out. Being a
descendant of the only ones who can use the Demon Blade, Edge is the only
one who can seal Goula again.
Berg also goes onto explain why Edge transformed back at the ruins. It was
because of how the Summon Night stone inside him was reacting to Goula's
power. Edge gets worried about it happening again but Berg tells him not to
be afraid of his own power. For a second, it looked like Berg was dead but
it turns out he's just tired. Orca comes running back to say he's reported
what happened to the chief and now they're going to hold a meeting. So head
to the area where you had the ceremony earlier.
Villager: Chief!
Edge is here!
Chief: I see...
Then we shall begin.
Villager: Goula's seal has been broken...?
How can that happen...!
Villager: It's a lie...
That Ryouga was a summoned beast...?
Rinri: Ummm...
I...
I... should...
Apologize to everyone...
Villager: No...
Rinri-san didn't know.
Villager: Didn't know?
Villager: Hey you...
Think of Rinri-san's feelings!
Chief: Everyone, quiet...
Quiet!!
Now is not the time to dispute...
As the ones who live in this village, we must prevent Goula
from being released to the world!
Villager: ....
Chief: Now... As I said.
We have need of the Demon Blade again to seal Goula...
We know nothing of it after its disappearance since the
Glen incident that happened 12 years ago...
GB: {???}
Chief: But, thanks to the barrier of the ruins, Goula won't be
able to make a move for a while...
During that time, we must find the Demon Blade and seal
Goula once again...!
Villager: Seal Goula...
Chief: But the Demon Blade can only be yielded by the Demon Blade
Bearer...
Lets leave the searching to Edge.
We will have to guard the barrier and discharge all the
evil energy from the ruins to prevent Goula's revival!
Edge: ...
Chief: I'm sorry, Edge...
Edge: Village chief...
Chief: But we...
We can only depend on you, the Demon Blade Bearer...
Edge: ....
Leave the Demon Blade to me.
I'm not too confident...
Whatever you pick, the villagers will start being suspicious of Edge. Well,
no one can blame them since it was Edge who brought Ryouga there in the
first place. The villagers start getting angry and blames Edge saying that
he might just run away or it was him that wanted to revive Goula in the
first place. Just then, the GB will stand up for Edge. Thanks to that,
Olca, Tatan and the village chief also stands out to say they trust Edge.
Now to go find the Demon Blade. Edge suggests going to the place where it
was being held long ago, The Sealed Blade Fortress of the Wind. The chief
tells you it's some ruins in the forest. Due to the evil energy that
Goula's been releasing, the animals have gone on a rampage. Now that Edge's
sword has been broken, guess he'll have to go with a hammer... Just then,
Orca comes out to give him some new material. So, go back to the workshop
and forge the sword the same way you did before.
This time however, the GB complains that it done most of the work. You have
two choices to reply:
You were a great help.
Actually, we've got a long way to go.
Either way, the sword you make snaps. The GB thinks it's its fault for not
being able to forge good weapons. Remembering what Berg said about working
with one another, Edge tries to cheer the GB up so that they can if it
another go. But, since there's no materials left, they'll just have to go
collect some. Just as they're about to leave, Berg comes in to give them a
reminder of how a craftsman should make his own weapon and then toughen
himself up. So, in the end Edge is just left with his good old hammer.
Leave to the area with the shop. Just as you're about to go past it, Rinri
appears to thank Edge for what he's doing. I don't know what she says if
you picked Air but, with Edge she was going to give him a kiss because she
thinks saying thanks isn't enough.
Anyway, go all the way to the west end of the area past the guard and into
the hole. You'll reach the forest at the bottom of the village now. To the
right, you'll find a Teleportation Pad. They're used the same way as they
were in the first game. Hit them with your hammer to activate them. At the
moment, it's the only spot you activated so it's not much use right now.
Smash the boxes and barrels to your left then head on to the south area.
You'll find the sword formula you need in the treasure chest there. Once
you have it, you can return to your workshop to make your sword.
This time, they will be successful. If you need to, you can use the bed to
revive your HP before we head to the forest again. Also, save if you need
to and equip your new sword.
Now that we have a sword, we can cut through the grass that was blocking
our way in the second area of the forest where the chest was. Change to
your sword and cut through into the third area to find another chest with
an axe formula in it. Collect it, smash up the boxes and barrels then
return to the workshop again. Create the new axe then return to the forest.
Be sure to equip it too if you want to use it in battle.
Go to the area where you got your sword formula and smash the trunks to the
west. Go into the new area to find a spear formula to the top right. Go
back to the workshop to make the new spear. You'll need it to reach the
chest with the knuckle formula later. Once you're ready, go back to where
you got the spear formula and go west where a hound is. Defeat it and move
on to find another teleportation point.
Outside the fortress, Edge will suggest going in to search for clues. So go
inside and then towards the stairs. They hear a voice and your GB will go
in first to investigate. It turns out to be a bunch of children who calls
themselves the wind team. It seems they were gathering stray monsters until
they went on a rampage. A lot of them got hurt so the leader's gone off to
get some medicine. Edge gets handed a sword to get fixed so, take it back
to the workshop, fix it and return here. Use the teleportation point
outside to make a quick jump back if you don't want to fight monsters.
On your way, you'll find Orca there. He leaves to find some medicine to
lower Berg's fever.
Before you leave for the fortress, you might want to go to the shop to buy
a few of those F Eido items that restore 100 HP to prepare for the boss
fight later.
Once you return the fixed sword to the children, Edge will ask about the
place where some herbs known as Hononasu is growing. They tell him that
Orca came along to ask too. The plant grows in a place just straight ahead
of the fortress. There's a huge plant that gives off a sweet scent but it's
actually dangerous. That's where the Hononasu is.
So, leave the fortress through the back and into the next area. Head on
west past the travellers. In the next area, follow the path down to
the bottom. To your left, you'll see a path in between some trees. Go
through there to find a drill formula and 3 other chests. Return to the
other area and go up the slope to your right. Use your spear to hit
the chest to get a knuckle formula. Now go to the next exit to the
left that's just under the trees. Before you go through here, notice
there's another medal gleaming towards the south. After you collected
it, go through to the new area and you'll find a HP recovery point. Good
place to start boosting your hero's (heroine's) level by the way.
Head down south and climb down the vine. Go right through the trees to find
a medal. Now, where there's a HP restore point it must mean there's a boss
fight in the next area. So be prepared by equipping your GB with healing
items and spells.
Going into the next area to the southeast, you'll find Orca along with 2
summoned beasts. Looks like they're in trouble with that big plant those
children were talking about.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Grass Dragon |
| HP: 500 |
| EXP: 250 |
| b: 100 |
| ITEM: Leaf Dragon's Thorn |
+-----------------------------------------------+
For this fight, I had my GB equipped with 2 spells, Guard and Heal. Didn't
take long to finish the Grass Dragon with an axe.
After the fight is over, you'll learn the summoned beast's name is Gabrio,
the leader of the wind team. They're alright but it seems they haven't
found the Hononasu herb yet. Go over to the right and inspect the plant
underneath the tree to find it. After everyone's gathered their share...
Orca: Wow... Boiling down the roots to make medicine.
Looks real bitter...
Edge: Yeah...
Anyway, now we have the herbs lets get back to the fortress
for now.
???: And the spirits are here...
Edge: Yo- You're!
Gedor: Hello.
Edge: Ryouga...
Ryouga: ....
Edge: Why are you together with the likes of Gedor!
Gedor: Heeheehee...
Because I helped Ryouga-sama.
Edge: What?
Gedor: It's just a matter of time before Goula-sama makes it to
the surface right?
That's why it's obvious best to stay on this side.
Edge: I won't let you do such a thing!
Gedor: Oh?
Edge: I will seal Goula with my own hands!
Gendor: By obtaining the Demon Blade huh?
Edge: How do you know that?!
Ryouga: Edge...
Edge: ...
Ryouga: Please...
Please don't get in my way.
Edge: Ryouga...
Why?!
Gedor: Obvious isn't it!
Once Goula-sama is revived, he maybe able to return to his
own world using his power.
And he can take revenge on humans.
Edge: Revenge?!
...No.
Gedor: You know that most summoned beasts hate humans.
Being summoned by humans against their will and sworn to
follow their commands.
It's natural that they're annoyed since their freedom has
been taken.
Edge: No...
Gedor: And most important of all, Ryouga-sama was a stray summoned
beast. Do you know how he has been treated...
Edge: But...
We're friends!
Aren't we, Ryouga!
Gedor: It's just an act to keep on living.
A summoned beast is a summoned beast...
They will not mix with humans.
Edge: It's a lie...!
Gabrio: Only a stray summoned beast understands the feeling of
another...
Edge: Gabrio...
Gedor: Those two over there stray beasts too?
Then you can join us too.
We might be able to grant your wishes.
Gabrio: ....
After that, your GB says something and Ryouga will leave. Now it's time to
return to the wind team. Back at the fortress...
Gabrio: ...Alright, that's the treatment done.
It's alright now.
Rakulu: Thanks, Gabrio.
Kulmin: Are you alright?
Gabrio: Yeah, I am.
Well, we should get back to the village today.
Leave this place to me.
Kulmin: But...
Orca: Yeah.
It's best if you do that.
Since I've got the herbs now, I'll be going back too.
I'll take you two with me.
Kulmin: ...
OK.
Gabrio: Thanks, Orca.
Orca: What are you going to do, Edge?
You still going to look for clues to the Demon Blade?
Edge: There's no clues here and master's probably worried so...
Oh yeah, Gabrio.
It seems there was a sword here.
Do you know anything about it?
Garbrio: No...
Edge: I see...
Zeride: Now you mention it...
There's another fortress that looks like this one deep in
the forest...
Edge: Really?
Gabrio: Yeah.
Just near where the Bolzak was.
But you should be careful.
Along the way, I heard some howls from underground.
Edge: Howls...
But that's the only clues we have right now...
Alright!
We'll go look for the fortress after we hand over the herbs
to master!
Orca: Then I'll go take the children home first.
Edge: OK.
Well, lets go hand the herbs to master.
Return to Cliff Village and you'll meet Tatan along the way. Seems she was
praying at the open grounds. Continue back to Berg's home to find Rinri
there too.
Rinri: Ah, Edge-kun.
Edge: Rinri-san?
Why are you here...
Rinri: I came to visit Berg-san.
Then I heard that the fever wouldn't go away...
Edge: It's alright.
I've brought some herbs.
Rinri: That's Hononasu!
Amazing, Edge-kun!
Well, we must boil it right away and make the medicine.
Tatan: I'll help!
Edge: YOU?!
Tatan: What...
Rinri: We'll keep the talking til later!
Edge: OK...
Afterwards, it seems the Hononasu worked. Berg's fever died down. Rinri is
thanked for her help and is invited to stay for dinner but she says she
needs to get home. Looks like what happened with Ryouga was quite a shock
to her. Meanwhile, Edge feels it's his fault that Berg ended up like this
but there's no time to feel down now. He must find the Demon Blade.
Night falls and Edge's GB goes out for some fresh air. He decides to go for
a walk too so your choices are:
The place of memories {Where you went the first night.}
The open grounds in front of the stone slab.
- 8.3 Chapter 2, The Dark Swordsman
Next morning, just as Edge was about to leave for the second fortress. He
hears Tatan's voice. Go downstairs to see what's going on.
Edge: What's wrong?
Orca: Well, it seems there's some stirup at a place nearby the
village.
Edge: What is it?
Could it be one of Ryouga's people...
Orca: We don't know so I've been asked to go investigate...
Tatan: I'll help too!
Orca: ...She says.
I don't know what will happen and I'm worried about leaving
father alone...
Berg: What's all the fuss about...
Edge: Master!
Is it OK if you don't sleep?
Berg: Yeah.
Thanks to you, I'm pretty much better now.
Tatan: What about your fever?
Berg: Still have a little...
It's nothing terrible.
Tatan: Thank goodness.
Berg: Thanks to the herbs Edge brought back.
Edge: Eheheh. Not at all...
Tatan: Then I can go out too?
Orca: I said no!
It could be one of Ryouga's people...
We don't know if it'll be anything dangerous!
Tatan: Like I said!
Orca: Understand, Tatan.
Come on, Edge.
You tell her too...
Edge: Hmmm...
It's best if Tatan stayed home.
Maybe she can go too?
Either way, Tatan will end up going with Edge anyway. You're to guide her
back to the first fortress where the wind team was. So, head out the
village down to the forest to find Rinri there.
Edge: Huh?
Rinri-san.
Rinri: Oh?
What's the matter, Edge-kun?
And Tatan-chan is together with you too.
Could it be a date?
Edge: No!
Tatan: You don't have to answer with that much feeling!
Edge: Uh...
So... Sorry.
GB: {???}
Edge: Quiet...!
Rinri: Uhuhu... You're so popular.
Edge: Stop teasing me!
Anyway, I'm just guiding Tatan to the Blade Fortress on my
way to finding the Demon Blade.
Tatan: Just on your way?
Edge: Well...
That's another matter.
So what are you doing here, Rinri-san?
Rinri: I was...
Looking for Ryouga...
Edge: Looking for Ryouga?
Rinri: Because you met him again here too, didn't you...
Edge: Huh?!
Uh... Yes...
Rinri: So I thought he maybe nearby...
Edge: I see...
Tatan: But you have to be careful.
There seems to be some suspicious people around here.
Orca and the others are looking into it...
Rinri: I just met them.
I was going to catch them but...
Edge: No way...!
It's dangerous so you should...
Rinri: Oh... I'm quite strong.
I did travel with Ryouga long ago after all.
But yes...
I'll stay in the village for today.
Since Tatan-chan's with Edge-kun, I don't have to worry.
Tatan: Yeah.
Rinri: Edge-kun, be careful.
Edge: I will.
So, use the portal if you don't want to fight a bundle of random battles.
Once you arrive, you'll find the Rakulu and Kulmin there again. But
Gabrio's gone out so Edge is a bit worried leaving them here alone. Tatan
volunteers to look after them so Edge decides to go off in search of the
second fortress.
Go through the back and make your way to where you fought the giant planet,
Balzak. You'll find Gabrio there looking for some suspicious people
who's been lurking about. He's also been staying around these parts because
the smell reminds him of his home. He tells Edge that at night, some of the
flowers glow and it's really beautiful (hint for another night spot to go
to?). Edge would like to stay and help look but he has to make his way to
the second fortress. Gabrio understands and reminds him to be careful
because he heard those great howls from underground. With that, he leaves
to go back to the fortress.
Now climb on down the vine to the south and go on east. Enter the cave here
and save. Head on pass the travellers into the next area and then follow
the path east through into the next area. Here, you'll find a HP restore
point hidden under a bunch of barrels and boxes just southeast of where
enter. Once you've healed, go on east towards the exit and Edge will hear a
scream.
Head on in and you'll find a huge robot along with Orca. It seems it's the
source of those big howls. A girl appears saying that the robot won't do
anything even though it's so big and scary. You have 2 choices.
(Lets try trusting Volgano.)
(That look... I can't trust it...)
Either way, the girl Ninnya will guide you to the second fortress. But, if
you chose not to trust the robot Volgano, you'll have to hand the robot
some oil first before she'll guide you. When you're ready, talk to Ninnya
(if you didn't trust Volgano) and answer yes (top). Follow her until you
reach a wall. She forgot she's in a ghost-like form and that Edge can't fly
up walls like she can. So, she decides to try another route. Exit the area
the way you came and you'll find her to the north exit.
Before you follow her through into the next area, you might want to return
to the HP point to replenish your HP. There's a boss fight coming up.
Once you're ready, go up to find Orca hurt. Someone in a dark suit is there
and he tells Edge to to go any further. Ninnya says she can't see the dark
person's soul.

| HP: 450 |
| DUR: 150 |
| EXP: 450 |
| b: 200 |
| ITEM: Crest of the Beast |
+-----------------------------------------------+
This one's not too tough of a fight. Just block and then counter attack.
Watch out for those 3 strike hits.
After the fight, Orca's in bad shape so Edge decides to take him back home.
Ninnya says she'll wait with Volgano in the caves for them.
Back home, Berg wonders what happened and where Tatan was. Just as Edge is
about to leave to get her, Orca asks him to keep it a secret. Excuse being
that it's not cool for such a thing to happen but he really doesn't want
her to worry. After helping Orca to his bed, Berg suddenly collapses with a
terrible fever again. There must be some Hononasu left but Edge doesn't
know how to use it. So, before we go find Rinri, you'll want to heal up and
repair those badly damaged weapons now. Also, forge the knuckle weapon if
you haven't already. Go to the Gates of Goula to find her.
Edge: Here you are, Rinri-san!
Rinri: Ah, Edge-kun!
Ummm... I was here to...
Well... Calm myself down... So...
Edge: Ummm...
Rinri: ...Hmm?
What's wrong?
Did something happen?
Edge: Ummm...
Master's got a...
Terrible fever again...!
Rinri: Oh no!
Lets get back quick!
It's died down for now.
Edge: Thank goodness.
Rinri: Orca-kun's wounded too I see...
Edge: Sorry...
Rinri: It's nothing for you to apologize about.
More importantly, there's something you must do right now
isn't there...?
Edge: Rinri-san...
Rinri: Leave this to me.
Edge: But...
Rinri: There's nothing you can do here apart from watch if you
stayed.
Is it OK for you to be doing something like that?
Edge: Yes... You're right...
I understand.
I'll go. I'll leave the rest to you.
Rinri: Leave it to me.
Good luck finding the Demon Blade.
Edge: I'll find it.
Lets go.
So, make your way back to the caves by going through the Blade Fortress
where Tatan is. She'll ask what happened at the second fortress but Edge
says they haven't found it yet. Just as the GB was going to explain why,
Edge interrupts to stop it because of their promise. It seems Gabrio hasn't
returned yet either.
Return to where Ninnya is and before Edge sets off again, they'll explain
what's happening and how that dark person could have been linked to Ryouga.
After the brief conversation, go east then head south at the crossroad. Use
your knuckle weapon here to knock the boulder out the way then go west to
find a chest with another sword formula in it. Make your way to where you
fought that dark person then follow the path. You'll find Ninnya at the end
along with a HP restore point. Ninnya feels something terrifying ahead and
tells edge to be careful.
Exit the caves and you'll find another the 3rd teleportation point. Now
you're at the Sealed Blade Fortress of Water. Now's a good time to prepare
yourself before you go in to face Gedor and another one of his summoned
beasts again. While you could get away with not upgrading your old weapons
to fight the previous bosses, you'll need to for this one. By now you'll
have some new materials for creating stronger weapons. So, return to your
workshop and dismantle a few old weapons then use the new tougher materials
to re-forge them. Your rank should also go up after this and you get access
to the "Upgrade" option at your furnace.
Inside the fortress, Gedor tells Edge how he's just playing along with
Ryouga at the moment since both their goals are the same. He's one
step ahead of Edge and tells him he's too late. But there's nothing here
anyway. Then he summons Metal Horse to attack you.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Metal Horse |
| HP: 600 |
| EXP: 750 |
| b: 150 |
| ITEM: Diary of Memories |
+-----------------------------------------------+
After you win, Gedor says he has no time to play around so he leaves.
Ninnya appears saying she heard a lot of noise above ground so she came to
see. Since Gedor was here, this must be the fortress Edge is looking for.
It appears to be used by a summoner long ago too because in one of the
rooms, there's a lot of books about summoning. Ninnya goes in to check
first.
Go into the next room and use the bed to recover if you need to. Try to
leave the fortress and Edge's GB will remind him it's getting dark. He
should go get Tatan home before then. Well, there's no clues here so
they might as well. Just then, Ninnya remembers there's another fortress
deeper into the forest. But, it has flashes of lightning around it so
she didn't dare go in. So, use the teleporter outside to get back to the
wind fortress.
Gabrio's back and he says Tatan has been a great help looking after the
children. The children thanks her by giving her a summoning stone although
it can't be used until a ceremony's been done. In exchange, Tatan suggests
she'll make pastry for them... Well, it's time for Tatan and Edge to go
home too.
Returning home, we find Orca is better now while Berg is still in bed. As
promised, Edge keeps how Orca got injured a secret and avoids the topic.
Tatan complains that she's a cute girl so they should protect her well.
Orca says he'll leave it to Edge and as usual he acts like it's not a very
pleasant task so it ends up like they're arguing again. Since Berg's fever
has died down, it's time Rinri went home too.
Night falls and now you have 2 more places you can visit:
The place of memories.
The open grounds in front of the stone slab.
The flower garden of Bolzaks.
The gate of Goula.
- 8.4 Chapter 3, The Father's Memento and the Robot Brnildo
Next morning, Orca comes to see Edge. It appears he's concerned about
something and asks Edge to go with him. He says he'll be waiting at the
place near the waterfall next to the shop. So leave the workshop and go
downstairs. Tatan will stop Edge for a few minutes and asks if Edge knows
anything about why Orca acting so strange.
I know something.
I don't know anything.
Either way, they won't tell her anything because of the promise they made
with Orca earlier.
Go onto where the shop is and head down the path that's to the left of the
lady in red. You'll find Orca there.
Orca: Sorry I made you come here, Edge...
Edge: It's OK.
So, what is it?
Orca: I had a lot of matches with you here.
Edge: Uh... Yeah.
We compared how strong the weapons we made were.
I lost a lot.
Orca: And you cried.
Edge: But you made my cry!
I really didn't like losing.
So when I won for the first time, I was really happy.
Orca: Then you cried.
Edge: That again!
Orca: Hahaha...
So, how about another match since it's been such a long
time?
Afterwards, he summons his weapon and a fight breaks out.

After you win, it turns out Orca is losing confidence in what he can do.
Edge beating him there just points things out even more. But being Edge, he
cheers him up saying that he's got great mechanical skills and without him
here... who would help him eat Tatan's cooking together? With that, Orca
decides that he's caused quite a bit of trouble with Ninnya so he's going
to apologize to her later after he's had some rest. Now we can head to the
water fortress again.
Back in the water fortress, it looks like Rinri's here too. She's here
because she heard one of Ryouga's people appeared here so he might be
nearby. On the other hand, Ninnya says she can't guide Edge to the next
fortress because she found it by chance and there's no big landmark like
Volgano there. Edge tells her not to worry and says he'll find it himself
somehow. He asks what Rinri's going to do and she replies she's staying to
look for clues. With that, Ninnya wishes Edge good luck and returns
underground.
Leave the fortress into the forest and then continue your way until you
come across a cave you come across. Go down the ladder and into the east
area. You'll find a chest with a Fire Ore in it along with a medal in the
corner. The Fire Ores are very common to get when you beat the fiery Demon
Fire Masks in here. Leave the cave.
Exit via the exit to the southeast. You'll find a hole here. Be sure you
don't fall in because you'll end up where you were earlier. Go on into the
3rd area and drop down the hole there. Exit north and continue on until
you're out of the caves. Go east here, follow the path and you'll
eventually come to the Sealed Blade Fortress of the Lightning.
Don't worry about fixing up your weapons or healing up for now and go in.
Looks like neither Gedor or Ryouga is here but Edge hears a mechanical
voice. It appears to be some sort of security robot. You have 2 choices:
Fight
Run
Either way, it'll tell you to wait and say that it detects that 95% of
Edge's life signs are of a Demon Blade Bearer. The robot's name is Brnildo
who's been waiting for the Demon Blade Bearer for a long time. In other
words, he may know the whereabouts of the Demon Blade. Edge asks Brnildo if
it knows and it replies it will only answer if he is 100% sure Edge is the
Demon Blade Bearer. He then flies towards Edge and takes his father's
memento. Saying that there's not enough energy for a shift, it eats the
memento and starts charging up Edge. With that, Edge changes again. Now the
battle really begins. You'll have no trouble finishing the other robot in
no time.

| EXP: 2000 |

| ITEM: First Aid Kit |
+-----------------------------------------------+
After you beat the robot, Brnildo will hand Edge back his memento as a
stone. Now you can equip your GB with it by selecting the second option
in the menu when you press Start. Then you can change into the second form
to fight during battles. Now that Brnildo is 100% certain Edge is the Demon
Blade Bearer, he ready to listen to Edge.
First off, Edge tells it to talk in a casual manner before asking about the
whereabouts of the Demon Blade. Brnildo's manner is a lot different now and
says it can guide them to it. But first, it will have to prepare the
teleportation function. To do that, it'll need to have 4 stones which he
doesn't have. You have two options:
We don't need any guidance then...
We'll just have to find the stones...
Either way, you still need to go find the 4 summon night stones to get to
your destination because that's the only way Brnildo knows. It seems Edge's
father had arranged it this way so that Edge must go find the stones and
Demon Blade himself. Brnildo doesn't seem to know why he done this.
Well anyway, the first stone is upstairs in the room to the right. Take it
and give it to Brnildo. It tells Edge to install the stone inside but he
forgets that he's not good with machinary. He causes a bit of an explosion
and Brnildo passes out. A few minutes later, it wakes up and won't let Edge
touch it again. This time it wants someone good with machinery to install
the stone. So, lets go back to the village and find Orca.
Now, before you get all excited and use the new Red Demon Stone, note that
just like spells, it'll need recharging after use. While most spells
recover quickly, this takes a LONG time until later in the game. Apart from
being able to transform Edge into his beast form, it also acts as a sort of
revival stone. If you have it equipped and charged during a battle, it will
revive you in beast form when you die. ONLY if you can still summon your GB
to help.
Back home, you'll find Rakulu together with Tatan. Seems he likes her
pastry... Edge remembers that Tatan has a summon night stone that Rakulu
gave to her before, so he asks for it. Tatan asks Rakulu if it's OK if she
gives it to Edge first though and he says it's OK. Edge thanks her but she
says it should be Rakulu who should be thanked. Now what could they give
him as thanks... Just then, the GB suggests a kiss from Tatan. Since it's
her first kiss, she blurts out it has to be someone she loves. Hearing that
hurts Rakulu and he runs out the house. Now Tatan's mad so Edge runs out
the house.
Now to find Orca. Edge remembers he said he was heading to Ninnya's place
earlier on.
Before heading there, lets pick up another stone somewhere else first. Use
the teleporter to go to the water fortress first. Rinri is there and it
appears she found a summon night stone while she was looking for clues. She
hands it over to Edge and once again, thanks is in order... A kiss from
Edge! As Rinri moves closer, Edge backs off blushing bright red. Since it
seems he doesn't want to at the moment, Rinri says they'll leave it for
next time when they're alone. Then she leaves.
Exit the fortress and use the cave entrance. Go into the west area and use
the muddy waterfall to get down. Continue on west until you find the big
robot Volgano again. Once you find them, Orca will go with Edge right away
even though he doesn't know what's going on. When he finds out that he can
work with a mechanical soldier again, he is really happy.
Now that we have another 2 stones, hand them over to Brnildo. One left now
and it says there maybe one deeper into the forest as you leave the
fortress.
Exit through the back and into the Forgotten Forest. Head to the area to
the east to find another medal then return to the first area where the
travellers are. Go on north to area 2 and we have more holes. Just like the
last time though, enter the underground cave first through the entrance in
the cliff side. Go into the the furthest area to find a medal. Exit the
cavern and fall down the hole in the top right. Head on out through the
exit then go south into area 3.
Follow the path down until you reach the exit to the south. Go north to
find a hole and fall down it. Here, you'll find a chest to your left that
contains a knuckle formula. Return to the point before you fell down the
hole and exit south into area 4. You'll find Gabrio there. Hearing about
the damaged Brnildo, they decide to go see if there's anything they can do
to help. Once again, Gabrio's wild senses tell him there's something
dangerous up ahead.
Go to the top right corner of this area to find a chest with a spear
forumula in it. Then exit north and follow the path through into area 3
again. Fall down the hole you find at the end.
Go on into the area to the right. I suggest pushing the first stone to the
left first if you want to get hold of a green Gale Sstone. You can
exit the area and come back to reset the stones again. Otherwise, punch
the one to the right all the way up until you reach a horizontal
passageway. Go left from here and punch the next stone up then exit into
area 5 of the forest. Follow the path round until you reach the Sealed
Blade Fortress of Fire.
Now would be a good time to return to the village to get some rest and
forge some stronger weapons with the new material you gathered.

Just use the usual strategy. Block and hit. Watch out when it swings its
sword back for a big strike. Just run and jump just as it's about to hit
the ground.
Afterwards, a girl named Pasu will appear who looks like Ninnya. In fact,
it really is her body but it's been taken over. Pasu's claims she's
Ryouga's lover and says she was planning to investigate this fortress but,
because of the big giant creature she couldn't. Now her mission's complete
thanks to Edge, she's away. Wondering what it's all about, Edge decides to
go ask Ninnya but before that, they must collect the last stone. The GB
goes up first to find it then asks for something as thanks... Guess what
that is. Well, it's back to the lightning fortress.
Note that you can now use the 5 empty chests in the fire fortress to store
weapons you want to keep. The weapons you store here can also be
transferred to a new file once you complete the game.
Back at the fortress, everything's all setup and ready to go thanks to
Gabrio and Zeride. With the final stone in place, Edge can set off the next
day. Orca suggests they go home now but Edge says he must go see Ninnya
first. Orca goes on home first.
So make your way to find Ninnya. It appears her body was stolen from her
when she passed out in the forest. Originally, she was on an errand from
the royal city and a student studying under the Blue Faction. Later, when
she was looking for some shops on a map and because she's not good with
maps, she lost her way. Eventually, she passed out because of fatigue and
hunger. The moment she woke up, she was already in form of a ghost-like
body. With her knowledge, she can retrieve her body but lately, Pasu hasn't
appeared so she can't. Now Edge promises to bring Pasu to her.
Now you can return home. There you'll find Tatan, Orca, Rinri and the chief
too. It appears Berg's fever has flared up again. The reason why it won't
die down is because of Goula's curse. The only way to undo it is to seal
Goula once again. Just before night falls again, Tatan seems to have
something to say.
It's nightly conversation time again:
The place of memories.
The open grounds in front of the stone slab.
The flower garden of Bolzaks.
The gate of Goula.
Waterfall front.
Where Volgano is.
- 8.5 Chapter 4, The Four Demon Blades
Next morning, it's time to go to Brnildo's place to go find the Demon
Blade. Head on downstairs to find Orca and Tatan. Orca was just going to
leave too because he wants to help seal Goula. Tatan wants to go too but
Orca doesn't let her. He's worried about leaving their father alone. Just
then, Berg wakes up saying he doesn't need any looking after. Still
worried, Rinri comes in saying she'll stay so Tatan can go too.
Off to the lightning fortress. Looks like Gabrio's been using his great
sense of smell again because he knew Edge was coming. Now that he's here,
Tatan suggests they set off. Suddenly, Ninnya appears in her usual way.
Having not met her before, Tatan gets a little surprise. Edge explains what
happened to Ninnya and because he seems to know so much, Tatan suspects
there's something going on between them. Edge ends up being teased. Ninnya
then mentions about her body being taken and she's counting on Edge. Tatan
goes off on another of her "funny" thoughts until Edge explains that he
needs to get it back from one of Ryouga's people.
Now go upstairs and talk to Brnildo. Tatan and Orca seems to be planning to
go with Edge too since they're worried what might be ahead. But, being the
brother Orca is, he doesn't let Tatan go. So, Tatan acts all cute and asks
Brnildo nicely to see if it can teleport her to the place too. Brnildo
answers that it can only teleport the people the Demon Blade Bearer
permits. So, before that, Edge asks what kind of place they're going to and
Brnildo answers in encrypted code. Having no way of decrypting it, they
don't know what's ahead so Edge decides only he and his GB goes first. If
anything happens, he'll let them know through Zeride and Brnildo's
communication abilities.
Now you can talk to Brnildo to teleport back and forth from this unknown
place (top), charge your Demon Stone or cancel. MAKE SURE you have a
drill weapon ready before you go!
Once you're ready, pick teleport and pick the unknown "???" destination -
The Rusting Mechanical Dungeon.
Arriving at what appears to be a mechanical labyrinth. Edge contacts the
others to let them know he arrived. Edge explains he's arrived but he's
still to find the hidden Demon Blade. Puzzled why Brnildo won't go with
them, it says that it's best if it stays behind so that he knows if Edge
gets attacked. Also, what would they do if it was attacked and they lost
the teleportation function?
Now, if you examine the pillar to the side, you'll find someone's journal.
It says there's conveyer belts here and that they can be reversed by using
switches. Head on north to area 2 then up the left conveyer belt and
continue right into area 3.
Take the top conveyer over and you'll notice the first of those direction
changing switches. Go on right a little bit more and take the conveyer
opposite the exit in the wall down to find a drill and some Soft Iron.
Return back up using the conveyer to the left then go through the exit in
the wall down to level 2 of the dungeon.
Switch to a spear and take the top conveyer to the left. Use your spear to
smash the boxes to the top while you're being transported. Go south and
take the conveyer nearest the wall. Again, have your spear ready to smash
the boxes to your right. At the end you'll find 2 chests. Take the conveyer
back up then the one to the south just further to the right. Once you reach
the end, ignore the conveyer to your left and continue south on another
conveyer. Now take the only conveyer left and enter the door at the end.
Prepare for a boss fight inside. I used a hit and run strategy for this
one. You might want to save your Demon Stone for the fight with the dark
warrior again later on.

After defeating it, the floor will give way. Edge falls and his GB grabs
onto him but they both fall down. Later, they find themselves in a room
with a huge robot in the background. They hear Tatan's voice then she and
Orca arrives at the scene. Since Edge didn't contact them for a long time,
they came to look for them. Obviously, Orca's amazed at the huge robot in
the back again and tries to talk to it. But, now that they've made sure
they're safe, Orca and Tatan leaves.
Exit the area by going right. There's nothing in the left but a locked
door. Go into the left door first if you need to heal. Then return and use
the right door down to level 4. Take the left most conveyer down then go
right at the bottom to find a chest, medal and switch. Use the switch then
return to the same conveyer to go back up. Take the middle conveyer down
now and have your spear ready to smash a barrel. At the end take the
conveyer again to go right. Hit the switch you find at the end with your
hammer then take the conveyer to the left. Once you reach the platform, go
northeast to find a chest with a lightning horn in it.
Use the conveyer to the left then use the middle conveyer again to get back
to the switch. Hit it again then use the south conveyer this time. At the
end, don't use the right conveyer. You'll be using it later so don't worry
about not being able to get those boxes later.
Now head on right to area 2. Use the HP point if you need to here. If you
ready the pillar again here, you'll find that you need a drill to smash the
door. So smash the door and prepare to fight the dark warrior again.
Inside, Edge will find a floating sword. He picks it up and a name comes to
mind immediately... Demon Blade of Lightning. Edge doesn't know how he knew
the name but, it just came to mind. Just then, Ryouga and Gedor appears.
Ryouga thanks Edge for the hardwork. They couldn't touch the sword at all
because of the barrier. Now they want it. Since Edge won't hand it over,
Ryouga commands the Black Swordsman to take it by force.
Once you defeat him, Ryouga shows what power he has and says Edge can't
beat him the way he is right now. He lets Edge off for now and tells him to
get stronger then leaves without the sword. Now you must make your way back
to level 1 where Brnildo is. Once back, talk to him then choose the first
option to go back to lightning fortress.
Returning, Edge gives everyone the good news. Edge thought they could now
seal Goula but Brnildo says there's actually 4 Demon Blades. Well, there is
4 fortresses so there must be 4 in total. For now, everyone decides to go
home. Orca and Tatan goes on ahead while Ninnya stays behind to ask if Edge
met Pasu again. Unfortunately he didn't but since Ryouga's persistent in
getting in their way, he's sure he will see her again. With that, Ninnya
leaves too. So, make your way back home.
Back at Berg's place, everyone's eager to see the what the Demon Blade
looks like. Orca asks if Edge can use it but he can't. There seems to be
some sort of seal on it. Berg points out that there's a seal on the sword.
One that was made by his ancestors to limit the great power. The power's so
great that the average human will be in trouble just by going near it.
Rinri goes onto ask what Edge is going to do with it for now and he says
he'll hide it. He'll be keeping it a secret from everyone even from Orca
and the others.
Night falls and Edge hides the Demon Blade under his bed. It's that time of
night to go for a walk again.
The place of memories.
The open grounds in front of the stone slab.
The flower garden of Bolzaks.
The gate of Goula.
Waterfall front.
Where Volgano is.
8.6 Chapter 5, Mermaid Zahne and Captain Viyon
Next morning, it's off to find the remaining Demon Blades. Go downstairs to
find Orca about to go out.
Orca: Well, I'm off.
Oh, Edge.
Edge: What's wrong?
Tatan: Looks like some strange people arrived.
They're arguing at the village entrance.
Orca: That's why I'm going to to have a look.
Edge: Oh.
Orca: Well, look after dad, Tatan.
Tatan: Leave it to me.
Orca: It would be great if you were always so obedient.
Right, Edge?
Edge: Huh?!
Tatan: I'm always obedient!
Right, Edge?
Edge: Hmmmm...
Tatan: Right?!
Edge: Yeah yeah.
Tatan: "Yes" is enough.
Edge: Yes.
Orca: Hahaha...
Edge: That's mean.
You're the one that started it.
Orca: Sorry!
Well, I'm off.
Since it might be Ryouga's people, best to go take a look too so head onto
the village entrance.
There, a man who calls himself Toumei says he sensed great evil here so
he's here to take care of it. He's from the temple of Myouji in Siltan
which is still incomplete. Hearing the name Siltan, Orca says he must be a
summoned beast. They go onto say that such beasts are forbidden in the
village and are blocked out by a barrier. Toumei remembers he came across
something like that and he made nothing of it. He continues on about how he
received a message from the heavens while he was sleeping to use his power
to vanquish evil and how he has travelled the world to resolve many cases.
Now he's arrived in Cliff Village. He also senses an energy coming from
Edge too. Thinking that he maybe sensing Edge's power to use the Demon
Blades, Orca says it's best if he left.
Leave the village to find Kilmin and Rakulu who are on their way to their
"secret base". Seems Rakulu got over the thing with Tatan and now he likes
Rinri.
Head on over to the lightning fortress to find Rinri, Ninnya and Gabrio
together. Once again, Rinri is looking for clues to Ryouga's whereabouts
but this time she has Gabrio there to help her using his sense of smell.
Gabrio asks what did Edge do with the Demon Blade and he says he hid it.
Ninnya goes onto say how she always forgot where she put her own stuff so
she warns Edge to be careful. Edge jokes they could always depend on
Gabrio's sense of smell if does forget.
Now head on up to find Brnildo. Talk to him for your next destination and
pick the "???" option again - The Ever Summer Beach Caves.
This time you're after the water sword and you arrive at the shores. Read
the pillar to the side to find out there will be coloured switches later
that'll allow you to raise platforms to help you cross the waters later.
You'll also find that this is the Ever Summer Beach Caves. Head on right
into area 2 now.
Continue forward and Edge will hear a voice. It turns out to be a mermaid
summoned beast named Zahne. Edge introduces themselves then Zahne asks what
are they doing here:
We're looking for a sword.
Just taking a walk.
Either way, Zahne will think Edge is looking for the treasure, deep within
the water dungeons and it's shaped like a big sword. She tells them to be
careful and wishes them good luck before she leaves.
Continue east past area 3 and into area 4. Continue forward as before until
you hear another voice. A man is calling Edge over. He introduces himself
as Captain Viyon and needs help hitting the pink switch there. He won't ask
the mermaid Zahne to do it for some reason. So hit the switch and help him
over.
Afterwards, they'll find out that Zahne was the one who hit the switch so
that Viyon got trapped on the other side. He couldn't swim across because
of all the terrifying monsters in the sea. But now that he knows Edge is
after the treasure he hurries off, despite hearing that Edge needs the
sword to save a village.
Don't bother with the chest to the right. It's empty. Instead follow the
path into area 5 til you reach 3 coloured switches. Hit the green button
first then follow the new path to a chest with Sandstone Ore in it. Return
back to the switches.
Hit the pink button first then cross the platforms that rise til you reach
another pink button. Go left into area 7 then go all the way to the exit at
the far end and into area 8. You'll find 2 chests there. Return to area 7
and take the other path going north that's just near the entrance into area
6. Go left at the pink coral here to find a medal.
Return to area 6 to find Captain Viyon and Zahne again. Seems he's having
trouble getting past a big sea creature. It wants them to say "Please" in a
really... Amorous way before he'll let anyone pass as Zahne kindly
demonstrates. He doesn't care if it's a girl or a boy. So, you have 2
choices:
Try saying please in an amorous way.
I can't do that...
This part's pretty funny and will probably work differently if you picked
Air the heroine.
You pick the first choice, your hero Edge will copy Zahne but if you decide
not to do it, it'll be your GB that does it. Either way, it doesn't work.
Edge gets angry and says they can't get slowed down like this. Hearing
that, the sea creature gets all upset thinking they're going to fight it.
It won't fight back so, if they're going to force their way through, they
can just kill it. Edge decides to play along with the "please" thing after
all and so does Viyon since they can't fight anyone that won't fight back.
So, Viyon comes up with an idea to dress like a sexy girl. Now who would
have clothes like that...? Tatan? No, so it must be Rinri. So off we go to
find her. Make your way back to Brnildo and teleport back to the fortress.
Back at the fortress, Ninnya wonders what happened. Edge says she won't
have any amorous clothing obviously in the form she's in and then Rinri
comes in. Edge asks aloud that he needs to have clothes to make him look
amourous which surprises everyone. Ninnya asks if he's serious and Rinri
asks if he's feeling alright. So, Edge explains what's going on.
Hearing what happened, Rinri agrees to lend him her clothes but she thinks
that just dressing up isn't going to cut it. Just like how sweets have a
nice wrapping, the inside must also be good too. Edge doesn't really get it
but asks how is he going to be like an amorous girl from the inside too.
Rinri answers he must ask someone that is amorous about that but Edge
thinks she's amorous enough. So, she decides that it'll be quicker for her
to go talk to the creature herself rather than get Edge all dressed up.
So, talk to Brnildo when you're ready to teleport back to the second
place, the beach.
Before that, you might want to go back to the village to repair your
weapons and forge new ones. Also, make sure your Demon Stone is charged
because you will have 2 boss fights on your hands when you're back at the
beach. The first one will be with the creature. The second one won't follow
straight away but, making your way back afterwards will take a long time so
you should be prepared now.
Once you're back at the beach, return to the creature and answer yes (top).
Rinri does what Zahne done earlier and it seems to work. The creature lets
Edge pass but not Rinri. It asks her to go out with it but Rinri refuses.
It asks why and she says she already has someone she likes. Thinking that
it's Edge, the creature decides to have a match to see who's better.

| BOSS: Aqua Element |
| HP: 2000 |
| EXP: 5700 |
| b: 350 |
| ITEM: Whirling Lobster Pincers |
+-----------------------------------------------+
For this fight, the creature's fairly quick with his attacks so I used
single strikes with my axe so that I have enough time to block.
NOTE:
You will get a material called the lobster's pincer after beating this
boss. I know you'll want to experiment with it and see what cool new weapon
you can forge from it but, here's the thing. You'll need it further on into
the game so it's up to you if you decide to use it. If you keep it til
then, it'll save you time and trawling through random battles. If you're
lucky enough, you might pick up a few more from monster no. 48.
Afterwards, the creature will give up on Rinri and let them pass. Edge says
it's best if Rinri goes home first since they don't know what's ahead.
Rather than have Edge take the trouble of escorting her, she asks the
creature to do it and it happily obliges.
Head on up and use the restore point then continue on pass area 8 and into
area 9 where you'll find 3 switches again. Use the pink first if you
want to go cut some grass to gather materials. Then return and hit the
green button and follow the path upwards. You'll find a chest
containing a Diary of Memories item. Make your way back down and take
the other path west, pass a second set of buttons and to the end where
there's another single green button. Enter the area to the left to find a
chest.
Return to the second set of buttons. Hit the blue button if you want to go
find a bundle of boxes and barrels for material. Otherwise, hit the pink
button and follow the path west once again. Go all the way west past area
10 and 11 to find Zahne again along with the Demon Blade of Water.
Just then Viyon arrives dressed up like a girl... He took all the trouble
to do that but the sea creature was obviously gone. Just as he thought Edge
beat him to the treasure, Zahne says the Hisume Stone is required to undo
the seal on the sword before it can be pulled out. No problem. Edge has the
power to break the seals without the stone anyway but Zahne makes another
excuse. She tells them the caverns will collapse if they don't get the
Hisume Stone first and she'll be in trouble because her home is here.
Being, the nice Edge, he decides to go for it. Viyon makes goes on ahead
too.
Continue on west and you'll meet Pasu in a swimsuit. Obviously it was to
get pass that sea creature and she's here to grab the sword too. Head onto
the next area with the green and pink buttons. Use the pink one first and
use the new path to the right. You'll find a sword formula and another
medal. Return and use the green one then again, follow the new path til you
reach another 2 buttons. Use the blue one here then use the path towards
the top to go west. Go all the way west to find a chest with a Sharpening
Stone in it.
Now exit from the north to find Viyon down on the ground. Pasu also lets
out a scream seeing how big the Lobster Dragon is and runs away.

| ITEM: Steel Goula |
+-----------------------------------------------+
For this one, I used the Demon Stone after I done a fair bit of healing and
lowered its HP about half.
Afterwards, Viyon admits defeat and together they go back to where Zahne
is. Edge hands over the stone and she tells them the truth about what
happened. She dropped the Hisume stone when got startled by the Lobster
Dragon. Since she was too scared to go get it back, she made up the lie to
get it back. Then she transforms into a human girl. Seeing how cool, strong
and nice Edge is, she wants Edge to take her too. Just then, Viyon steps in
and confesses his love to Zahne. Edge has no idea what's going on but
decides to leave them and go back.
Now you have the Demon Blade of Water, make your way back to Brnildo. It
turns out he's the one who hid the Demon Blade here. Once back at the
fortress, Edge thanks Rinri for her help and also tells Ninnya that he met
Pasu again. Unfortunately, he let her get away so he apologizes. Ninnya
tells him to worry about it because she's sure there will be another
chance. But, she wonders how Pasu knew about where the Demon Blade was
kept...
So, time to let everyone know the good news. Return home to find out that
Berg and the others already heard about it from Rinri. It turns out she
also told them about the dressing amorously part too so they all demand to
hear the details...
It's that time of night again:
The place of memories.
The open grounds in front of the stone slab.
The flower garden of Bolzaks.
The gate of Goula.
Waterfall front.
Where Volgano is.
- 8.7 Chapter 6, The Great Gunvard
Next morning, there is a huge sound and the ground shakes violently.
Perhaps something's happening with Goula? The swords react by making a
high pitched sound for a while and Edge collapses. They decide to go to the
gates to have a look. Head downstairs and Edge will hear from Tatan that
something really has happened at the gates. Orca has gone off to take a
look. So head for the Gates of Goula.
At the gates, it turns out Toumei was trying to exorcise the evil energy
and failed. As a result of that, his magic went out of control, breaking
part of the ruins. This released a huge burst of evil energy out into the
open which caused the Demon Blades to react. Suddenly, they hear a roar. It
sounded like Volgano so Orca asks Edge to go take a look while they repair
the damage.
So, leave for the village entrance. On your way, you'll meet Kilmin and
Rakulu who's worried about the stray beasts at the fortress. The forest is
more dangerous now because of the evil energy so they can't go out. They
ask Edge if he could go check for them.
Continue on into the forest where the first portal is and another
earthquake will take place. Since we're going to use the portal anyway,
lets go check on those beasts first. Head to wind fortress and go inside to
find out they're OK. Return to Rakulu and Kilmin to tell them this and
they'll give you a Cat Badge as thanks. Now head onto where Volgano and
Ninnya is.
At the caves, the stray summoned beast Volgano is out of control. Just as
things seems they couldn't get any worst, Gedor appears to provoke it more
and parts of the roof start falling down. They decide they need something
that'll be able to suppress Volgano and they remember the robot they saw
when they went to retrieve the first sword. They also need something to get
rid of the evil energy that's got into Volgano so they Edge decides to go
consult Toumei. So, return to the Gates of Goula.
At the gates, Edge asks if Toumei can do anything about Volgano. Feeling
it's partly his responsibility, he says he'll think of something after the
repairs at the gate are done. Edge then explains to Orca about fixing the
giant robot they saw and obviously, Orca is more than eager to help. But
then, there's the gate to repair. The chief steps in and gives him
permission to go so off he goes with Tatan.
Return to where Brnildo is at the lightning fortress to find they've both
been transported already. So, pick teleport then the first destination to
get there. Then make your way to where the robot is. Don't forget to charge
your Demon Stone if you've used it already.
Finding Orca, he apologizes for not waiting for Edge but he just couldn't
get his hands on the Gunvard. Everything seems to be going fine except they
need to replace a few parts. They ask Edge to go collect it while they
continue with repairs. Zeride already contacted the robot that has the part
so all Edge has to do is talk to it and he'll get it. It's possible he may
attack though. The robot is on the 6th floor and Zeride has already
unlocked the door to the left area.
So, head on down to level 5. Take the south exit and follow the path until
you reach another one of those journal pillars. Use your drill to drill
through the door. Go into area 3 then down into level 6.
Go to the left to find 3 conveyer belts and a switch. Go down the centre
one first then follow the path to find some boxes and a medal. Hit the
switch there to reverse the belts. Make your way back to the belt you came
down on then use the switch just above the 3 belts. Take the right belt
this time then drill through the door at the end. Inside you'll find 2
chests and a medal. Return outside and reverse the direction of the belts
again. Once you're back at the 3 belts, take the left one and follow the
path to go find the robot for a boss fight.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Search Eye |
| HP: 3200 |
| EXP: 7200 |
| b: 450 |
| ITEM: First Aid Kit |
+-----------------------------------------------+
An easy fight. Just keep attacking the robot and watch out for his quake
attacks. Jump when he does one of them. He'll also fire a missile at you
now and then.
Now that you have the parts Orca needs, hit the switch you ran by in area 3
to reverse the belts and then get back to level 5. Go right to the belt
there and open the chest to find another axe formula then make your way
back to the Gunvard.
There, Edge will hand over the parts and since there's nothing else Edge
can do, he can go. Orca suggests he goes see how Toumei is doing and see if
the repairs are done now. Once he's finished repairing the Vangard, he'll
take it to where Valgano is. So, make your way back to the Gates of Goula.
At the gates, talk to Toumei. Looks like the repairs are done and he's also
figured out how to clear the evil energy from Volgano. He'll use a Fu
(a piece of paper with a symbol on it commonly used in buddhism to vanquish
evil) and he'll need some of Edge's energy. But, since Edge knows nothing
about his techniques, it's just not going to workout. Just then, he
remembers Edge is a craftsman and he forges weapons so he asks Edge to show
him them. Having looked at Edge's weapons, he sees that they have Edge's
energy too so he can cast the spell on a weapon that Edge makes. However,
Toumei has 2 conditions to be met. One is that it's made of Anti-Evil Ore
and it must be a sword. He warns that once the sword is used, the sword
will be gone. The old man by the pond will have some Anti-Evil Ore.
So, lets go to the pool in the village. Talk to the man fishing there and
pick the second option to see a list of the items you can exchange fishing
points for. You'll find the Anti-Evil Ore as the 7th item down and it costs
350 points. Looks like we'll have to do some fishing. Exit, and talk to the
old man again. Pick the first option to start fishing. Refer to the Fishing
section if you're not sure how to fish.
Once you have 350 points, talk to the old man and pick the second
option. Exchange your points for the item I mentioned above. Go back to
your forge and make a sword using the new Anti-Evil Ore which should be at
the bottom of your items list.
Return to the pool and talk to Toumei. He asks if you have it ready so
answer yes (top) then pick the sword and pick yes again (top) to confirm
and hand it over. Toumei will cast the spell on it and will tell Edge that
he needs a fighting spirit to use it to vanquish the evil energy. Edge
doesn't quite get it but he's going to try anyway. Have your Demon Stone
and your weapons ready because you'll be fighting one of Gedor's beasts
later. There's no need to equip the enchanted sword.
Leave the village and you'll come across the Dark Swordsman again. But,
Edge has no time to fight him as he hears the yell of Volgano again. Hurry
back to Ninnya's place and you'll find he's gone. Gedor appears as he
laughs evily saying that he's gone off on a walk. He used one of his
summoned beasts to lead it out into the open and now it's heading for
Cliff Village! Gedor continues onto say that their Gunvard won't come
either thanks to the Dark Swordsman. Just then, Gunvard arrives on the
scene. Gedor can't believe it and call them cheaters. He's should be the
only one who can cheat. Then he leaves.
Edge and his GB are let onboard but then Orca realises that it's all
machinary inside. He's worried Edge might end up breaking something again.
So, while everyone works with the different parts of the control system,
Edge is to give out commands. Now it's time to save Volgano.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Volgano |
| HP: 32000 |
| EXP: N/A |
| b: N/A |
| ITEM: N/A |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Another easy fight. Just shoot Volgano with the 2 shots of the Gunvard
Laser that you have then a few more punches and he's done. After that,
you're up against Gedor's summoned Blade Wing before Edge can use the sword
to get rid of the evil energy in Volgano.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Blade Wing |
| HP: 3400 |
| EXP: 7700 |
| b: 500 |
| ITEM: Diary of Memories |
+-----------------------------------------------+
This thing's quick and deadly. I stayed in close range and used the hit and
block tactic. It also stops you from being hit by its diving attacks.
Finally, after taking off some of its HP, I used the Demon Stone to finish
it off.
Afterwards, Edge will take out the enchanted sword and he will yell out
loud together with his GB to achieve the fighting spirit Toumei mentioned.
Just as the Gunvard was struggling to hold Volgano, it works and Volgano
collapses, sleeping. During that time, Gedor makes a quick escape too. Next
moment, Ryouga and Pasu appears. Ryouga says Edge must still become
stronger if he's going to stop him. Orca says there shouldn't be a problem
since they have the Gunvard in their hands now. But, Pasu does something
and causes the whole Gunvard to shatter. Everyone decides to call it a day
and go home. After they take care of the remains of the Gunvard.
It's that time of night again:
The place of memories.
The open grounds in front of the stone slab.
The flower garden of Bolzaks.
The gate of Goula.
Waterfall front.
Where Volgano is.
- 8.8 Chapter 7, The Blue Faction
Next morning, Edge decides to go thank Toumei for what he done for them.
Head downstairs and you'll hear from Orca that Toumei's doing something at
the gates again so head on over there.
At the gates, Toumei will say that he's investigating Goula's evil energy
again. Edge thanks him for the enchanted sword but he says it was really
Edge's fighting spirit that done the work. Edge goes onto asking him
whether the same sword could help him get summoned beasts out of people's
bodies too. Toumei answers that it can't but there are other enchantments
that will do the trick. He'll help them as long as the weapon to be
enchanted is a sword and that they tell him where this evil energy is
coming from. The chief says he'll explain it and asks Edge to go find the
next Demon Blade.
So, guess where we're heading? Off to the lightning fortress again. On the
way, you'll meet Rinri with the 2 children again. They're off to visit
their beasts again. Kulmin says that once Rakulu was so scared, she had
to sing to him once to calm him down. Once you arrive at the fortress, Edge
will tell Ninnya what Toumei told him. So, Ninnya goes off to find Pasu and
Gabrio gives her a hand. Go upstairs and talk to Brnildo about the next
destination once you're ready. Once again, pick the ??? destination -
Antartic Snow Valleys.
Weapons enhanced with fire damage will be useful here.
You arrive at a snowy place. Read the journal pillar at the side and you'll
find that you can slip on the grounds here. Head on south pass area 2 and
into area 3 to find 2 children. They mention something about some evil
summmoners and mistakens Edge as one of them. Hearing that, Edge thinks
that Ryouga and Gedor maybe here already.
The trick here to make sure you slide in the right direction is, hold
down the direction key(s) you want before you collide into something. Then,
once you get stopped, you'll slide in that direction next.
Head on right to area 4. Here slide towards the right just where the patch
of grey ground ends and before you hit the cliff, hold the down and right
buttons of the D-pad so that you slide southwest next. Slide east from
here, smash through the trunks into the next area to find a medal and
a chest with a Water Crystal in it. Go back to the last area then go to the
very top before sliding to the east. Go into the next area and continue
east. Edge will hear a voice:
Sounded like a man's voice...
Sounded like a girl's voice...
Which you pick will decide who your next opponent will be but both of them
will use a sword type weapon. It will either be Magna or Toris. The girl
seems to be faster at attacking, though so it's up to you.
Continue into the next area and Edge will come across a large piece of ice
so he stops to marvel at its beauty. Just then, 3 people appears. They look
like summoners so they might be those evil summoners the 2 children were
talking about. They're even dressed like Ninnya too for some reason. Edge
is suspicous of them but so is Nesty because Edge has a summoned beast
tagging along. Edge gets out in front of his GB to protect it and the other
team thought he was going to attack so a battle starts.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Magna or Toris |
| HP: 1400 |
| DUR: 150 |
| EXP: 4600 |
| b: 350 |
| ITEM: Hero's Emblem or Proof of Courage |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Afterwards, they summon a beast but the girl Amer stops it. Edge then
explains he's not a summoner but a craftsman. So it gets cleared up that
the beast he has with him is a Guardian Beast. On the other hand, Edge
tells them that he thought they were evil summoners and it turns out it was
just the kid's imagination. They're looking for one of their friends and
also investigating the source of the evil energy they sense here. Now that
everything's cleared up, both sides decide to hurry on.
Go right into area 7 then go to the very bottom before sliding across. Then
do as you did last time and press the D-pad diagonally so that you slide
northwest into the patch of snow. Then slide east into area 8. Go to the
right and slide upwards into area 9 to find the 2 children again. Get ready
for a short fight with some Rikaon wolves.
It turns out one of them was actually a summoned beast. Which beast it is
will depend on your choice earlier. It was investigating something together
with its master then it got lost. Now it's trying to protect a boy it
found. Seems the beast is the friend who the people earlier were looking
for. Suddenly, wolves attack.
Afterwards, the other kid seems afraid of Edge's GB. Edge remembers what
Kulmin said earlier so he gets his GB to sing that song they heard the
children singing. With that, the kid isn't scared anymore. The kid says
quietly to go back to a huge block of ice so, head back there.
After returning the kid to his brother, Edge can go on looking for the next
Demon Blade. Heal up if you need to and return to the place where you
picked up the kid. Go north into area 10.
First, go to the far right and slide upwards. Continue north until you come
to an area with 3 trees. To the right of them, you'll find a medal. Next,
follow the path to the left until you reach the point where you started
off. Now go the the right again and slide north from where the left
side of the patch of grey ground just ends. You'll reach 6 barrels. Smash
through them and on into the next area to find 3 chests with a diary,
a spear and a healing item. Return to the sliding point again and slide
north from the far left this time. Head on up into area 12 with the boxes
then continue into area 13. Continue onwards and Edge will sense the Demon
Blade nearby. In the next area, you'll meet Pasu and Gedor again.
Gedor complains how they were just one step away and tries to get Edge to
go home. This time, it's Pasu's turn to summon something. She summons an
Ice Golem.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Ice Golem |
| HP: 4500 |
| EXP: 10000 |
| b: 550 |
| ITEM: First Aid Kit |
+-----------------------------------------------+
My usual strategy. Knock down the golem's HP with my fire enhanced weapons
first before transforming to finish it off. Mainly it uses ice spikes that
spring out from the ground. You'll know when it lifts its arms into the
air. Sometimes it will fly into the air before trying to crush you or try
using its ice breath. Just don't let it sit on you and you should be fine.
Afterwards, Gedor will be angry that Edge defeated Pasu's summoned beast.
Just as he was about to summon his, the Demon Blade reacts and the ground
starts shaking violently. Edge goes up to grab the Demon Blade but it
doesn't seem to stop. Suddenly, Edge hears a voice and in a flash,
everything goes back to normal. It turns out to be the summoners from
earlier on. Thanks to Amer's powers, the shaking stopped. The little guy in
brown asks who they are and then the 2 children appear to explain to their
dad what happened. Finding out that Gedor and Pasu are the real bad guys,
he runs off in a rage. The children thanks everyone by giving them sweet
potatoes then goes off.
After eating the potatoes, the summoners examine the huge crystal. It seems
it's the source of the evil energy around these parts but it's not related
to what they're looking for. On the other hand, Edge found what he was
looking for and Nesty asks him what is it. But, since they both have
their secrets, there's no point asking more. Just then, Edge hears them
mention the name Kasura. Nesty gets angry again because he/she let
something important slip. Both groups say goodbye, and they seperate.
Time to go back home. Make your way back to Brnildo and teleport back to
the fortress. Edge will let Ninnya know they came across Pasu again and
also a group of people who were dressed just like her. Ninnya wonders if
it's the Blue Faction so, Edge continues telling her the name of the
person he met (varies depending on what you picked) and how they're on a
secret mission. None of it seems to ring a bell.
Return home to let Berg and others know Edge retrieved the 3rd Demon Blade
then Tatan will decide to cook for the night. Night falls and Edge hides
the Demon Blade. It's time for a nice walk again:
The place of memories.
The open grounds in front of the stone slab.
The flower garden of Bolzaks.
The gate of Goula.
Waterfall front.
Where Volgano is.
- 8.9 Chapter 8, Friends' Betrayal
Next morning, there's a bit of commotion downstairs. After you go down,
Rakulu is there. It seems Gabrio is wounded and he's in the forest at the
village entrance right now. Orca and Tatan hurries on ahead to see what
happened. So, head on down to find them.
Looks like it's Pasu's doing again. She's at the Bolzak Garden and Gabrio
thinks she's up to something. Orca and Tatan takes Gabrio back to their
home to treat him and leaves Pasu to Edge. So, head to where you fought
that giant Grass Dragon plant earlier in the game. Be prepared to fight
another one of Pasu's beasts again.
Once you arrive, Edge finds Ninnya there too. She found out Pasu was there
so even though she can't be in bright places, she came. Edge asks Pasu what
she's up to and she answers she'll tell him only if her beast doesn't lose.
Then, she summons Death.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Death |
| HP: 5200 |
| EXP: 12000 |
| b: 600 |
| ITEM: Horn of the Demon Race |
+-----------------------------------------------+
This thing may seem tough but he's actually really easy. Run up to him with
an axe then just keep jumping up and hitting him. He won't be able to
strike back and even when he does, he misses.
Afterwards, Pasu tells Edge that it was all part of Gedor's plan so that
they can go after the Demon Blades while Edge is out here. Ninnya seems
very weak but she says she's OK and returns underground. Edge must hurry
back to the village now.
On your way back, Edge will hear the guard muttering how late he is.
Continue back to Berg's place to find the chief there too. Too late...
The plan's succeeded and the Demon Blades have been taken by the Dark
Swordsman. Now everyone's suspicious of Edge because only he knew where the
Demon Blades were hidden. How could Ryouga and the others know? Everyone's
starting to think Edge was working with Ryouga in the first place and no
one wants to speak to him anymore. It's up to Edge to go find the Demon
Blades and get them back from the Dark Swordsman.
Have your equipment ready and return to the Bolzak Garden. Go down the vine
there and Edge will talk to the Dark Swordsman. It turns out he's handed
them over to Gedor already. He asks why Edge needs them and you have 2
choices:
To clear my name.
To seal Goula.
Either way, the Dark Swordsman will try and turn Edge's feelings against
the villagers but he doesn't succeed. Edge is determined to retrieve the
swords to save everyone and a battle breaks out.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Dark Swordsman |
| HP: 1650 |
| DUR: 250 |
| EXP: 6000 |
| b: 400 |
| ITEM: Crest of the Scared Beast |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Afterwards, the Dark Swordsman turns out to be... Gabrio! It was him who
had been helping Ryouga all along and it was thanks to Zeride that they
could teleport to the places Edge could. Gabrio was told that reviving
Goula will allow him to go back home. He didn't really believe it but there
was hope. That's why he decided to help them. He goes onto tell Edge that
the villagers isn't turning their backs on him. They're acting like that
because Zeride helped sneak in one of Gedor's summoned beasts. All Ed has
to do, is defeat it now. Before that though, Gabrio says that Gedor seems
to be planning something else deeper into the forest and it's best Edge
goes there to take a look first. With that, he returns one of Tatan's
pastries to Edge and leaves.
So, head into the area where Zeride appeared from then continue east til
you reach the area with a vine going down. Climb down it then go west and
go into the cave. Drill through the patch of small rocks to the right to
find a healing item and a diary inside then go back out. Go down the stairs
then go all the way east past 2 waterfalls until you find a chest with a
blue Grinding Stone in it. Return to the two waterfalls and go south. Use
your knuckle weapon to knock the boulder out of the way then go west. Drill
open the patch of small rocks and inside you'll find a medal, sharpening
stone and a first aid kit. Leave the cave now and return back outside to
the vine you climbed down earlier.
Head south from the vine into area 3 and continue into area 4. Go to the
far right where there's 3 barrels. Smash them then go in between the trees
to fall down the hole to the right. Follow the path left all the way to the
end then drill through the wall. Inside make your way all the way east
until you exit the caves into area 5 of the forest. Follow the path west
now to find Gedor with Orca under his control.
There will be 2 battles up ahead. One with Orca then another with Gedor and
his summoned beast together.
Since Orca's under Gedor's control, he continues to believe that Edge
betrayed them. Edge can't do anything since his opponent's Orca. Just then,
his GB reminds him what Gabrio said earlier. The way Edge fights conveys
how he wants to protect everyone so Edge's GB is sure that Orca will wake
up when they fight him.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Orca |
| HP: 2500 |
| DUR: 250 |
| EXP: 6500 |
| b: 450 |
| ITEM: Scroll of Mechanics |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Orca's not that hard to beat. Just block and counter attack and that'll do.
Afterwards, Orca wakes up but Gedor gets his beast to control him again.
Edge thinks of an idea and stuffs the pastry Gabrio returned to him earlier
into Orca's mouth. For a moment, he passes out then wakes up again. He's
back to normal again and takes the Demon Blades back from Gedor. Now that
it's turned out like this, Gedor gets his Gedo Gunner to attack so that he
can take the Demon Blades back by force.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Gedor |
| HP: 1700 |
| DUR: 265 |
| EXP: 7300 |
| b: 600 |
| ITEM: Scroll of Mechanics |
+-----------------------------------------------+
This battle's a pretty tough one because there's two to take care of. But,
you'll take them out quickly enough using the Demon Stone.
Afterwards, Gedor gets very upset because of all these "cruel" things
happening to him. He then blames Edge saying that he's the one that'll be
taking away his happiness. Just then, Ryouga arrives and asks Gedor angrily
what he is doing. Gedor replies that he's doing all this to help revive
Goula. Ryouga can't stand him using such methods against Edge so he scares
him off. Even so, he has no intentions of letting Edge get away with the
Demon Blades. Orca steps in saying they can't go back to the village then
so Ryouga changes his mind. He says there's no point having the Demon
Blades if all 4 of them isn't here. In that case, Edge thinks he wins and
tells Ryouga that Gabrio will no longer be working for him. Ryouga thinks
up of a counter plan and says he'll go destroy Brnildo the next day then
leaves.
For now, Orca decides they should get back and have a good night's rest. He
apologizes for treating Edge the way he did. Edge then bursts into tears
because of how lonely he was when everyone turned on him. Afterwards, Orca
decides to go ahead first. If anyone isn't back to themselves yet, he'll
force them to eat some of Tatan's pastry...
Time to head on back home. At the foot of the cliff, Edge will meet Rinri.
It appears she wasn't in the village during the time everyone was being
controlled. She was off to look for Ryouga as usual. Seeing Edge's troubled
face, Rinri asks what's wrong and says he's always welcome to talk to her
about his troubles.
Continue back to Berg's home and along the way, the guard will apologize
too. Back at Berg's place.
Orca: Oh...
Edge is back!
Edge: I done it!
I got the Demon Blades back!
Tatan: Ummm...
Edge: Hmm...?
What is it?
Tatan: I'm sorry!
Edge: Hey, what for...?
Berg: We're really sorry, Edge.
We distrusted you.
Chief: I said such harsh words even though I'm the village
chief...
Edge: It's OK.
It was all because of Gedor's summoned beast.
You don't have to mind.
Chief: Thank you...
GB: {Says they must thank Tatan too.}
Tatan: Huh...?
Why?
Edge: Well... All sorts of things happened...
You were a great help.
Right, Orca?
Orca: Ah, yeah.
It's all thanks to Tatan just this once.
Thanks.
Tatan: Hu... Huh?
I don't get it but you're welcome.
Orca: Well, Edge.
Lets get some rest for today so that you can fight
him...
Edge: Yeah...
But before that, I have to hide the Demon Blades again.
Tatan: Now that you mention it, where did you hide it before?
Edge: Heheh.
I can't tell you.
Orca: A secret is it?
We know about the dummies you put under your bed.
Berg: I knew about it too...
Tatan: That's our Edge.
No one would fall for a trap like that.
Edge: Uh!
Ye- Yeah...
That's right...
Tatan: So where did you hide it?
Everyone tries to get Edge to tell them but obviously he can't so he runs
off saying "Sorry!".
Night falls and Edge's GB suggests hiding it under the bed again. No one
will believe it's the real thing...
So, time for a nightly walk again:
The place of memories.
The open grounds in front of the stone slab.
The flower garden of Bolzaks.
The gate of Goula.
Waterfall front.
Where Volgano is.
- 8.10 Chapter 9, Ryouga's Scheme
Next morning, both Orca and Tatan arrives in Edge's room to check if he was
ready to go. Since there's no time to waste, they both hurry on ahead to
where Brnildo is. So, get your weapons ready and head on downstairs. Before
you leave, Berg asks Edge to come back safely. Continue on to leave the
village and you'll meet the 2 children again. They ask if there's anything
they can do to help retrieve the last Demon Blade and mentions Rinri left
just a while ago too.
Go on over to the electric fortress. Everyone's gathered but it seems
nothing's happened so far. Toumei's also there saying that it's his lucky
place today. Since he's here, he might be able to retrieve Ninnya's body
for her. Orca suggests Edge makes haste to go get the last Demon Blade
while Ryouga isn't here yet. That way, he won't go for Brnildo anymore.
Orca, Tatan and Rinri then goes out to check to make sure Ryouga doesn't
get anywhere near the fortress.
Go upstairs and talk to Brnildo to find out your next destination. Just
then, an explosion is heard. Everyone runs upstairs and Tatan says they're
here. Pasu is attacking the fortress now. They rush Edge to get to the next
destination while they hold Ryouga off. As before, pick the last option ???
and you'll be teleported to a hot looking place - Boiling Waters of Hell.
As with the previous 3 dungeons, there will be a pillar at the side with a
hint about the workings of the dungeon. This one says you can hammer any
spouting spring water to stop it.
Go right into area 2 then into area 3. From there, go north into area 4 and
you'll see why you have to stop those springs. Hit the chest to the left of
the waterfall first then go up the steps. Go right and you'll find the
spring you need to hammer along with a medal next to it. Next continue
right into area 5 and go downwards into area 6. Continue on into area 7 and
Edge will hear a voice so go on into area 8 to find a girl in the hot
springs. The girl screams and her brother goes off to get their clothes.
The girl's name is Kohina and her brother is Kuuya. She gets angry at Edge
for seeing her naked but Edge replies asking what she was doing naked in
such a place anyway. Then Kuuya answers there's no one who would go into a
hot spring dressed now is there? Since Edge acts like he doesn't know it's
the hot springs, the brother and sister gets angry and attacks together.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Kuuya and Kohina |

| ITEM: Secrets of a Ninja 1 |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Both of them are fast and pretty strong with their Ninja weapons but
nothing a few spells like Omega Burst (blue burst of energy) can't handle.
Once you defeat them, Edge will find that both of them are cursed and
wounded by a beast. The hot springs here help them a little because of
their medical attributes. To break the curse, they must defeat the beast.
Now it's their turn to ask Edge why he's here. He answers he's looking for
a sword. At first, they mention a sword and decide not to tell him but
since both sides had their mistakes, they let things go by. Kuuya tells
Edge that there's a sword deeper into the area in front of a large rock.
But, Kohina warns him to go there because the beast that cursed them is
there. Even so, Edge is keen on going.
Go east into area 9. Move along while you can see and you'll find a path
going north. The spring for this area is to the top right. After you hammer
it, there will be 2 chests to the left with a sharpening stone and first
aid kit. After you collected those, return the way you came and go east
again into area 10.
Follow the path up the first flight of steps then take the stairs to your
right to find the spring and a medal. Return back up and go to the top
right corner to get the drill formula in the chest. Use the exit to the top
left corner now to go into area 11. Once you've cleared all the boxes,
barrels and chest, continue into another misty area 12.
Once again, go up the first flight of stairs then take the ones to your
right to find the spring. Return up the stairs and continue left until you
come across a waterfall. Slide down the waterfall to find a chest with a
diary in it. Head on down into area 13 now then continue left into area 14
and then into area 15 where you'll find Kohina again.
She tells Edge that she came to see him get beat by the big beast that's
up ahead but Edge doesn't get irritated at all. He says he wants to help
them remove their curse by defeating the beast. However, since the most
important thing is to get the sword, they may run away with it if things
turn out bad. Kohina reacts like she couldn't care less.
Well, you heard what's up ahead so prepare for at fight. At first, it seems
it's not there but then it suddenly jumps out at Kohina. She shouts out to
Edge telling them to run away. It was her fault that her brother got cursed
too because he came to save her. She doesn't wishes it never happened and
thinks the same thing will happen to Edge if he fights it. Just before Edge
fights the beast, he tells her she should apologize to her brother.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Demon Shrine Monkey |
| HP: 6700 |
| EXP: 16000 |
| b: 700 |
| ITEM: Horn of a Fierce God |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Quite a tough beast this Shrine Monkey. I used a bundle of spells to weaken
it first before attacking it with my weapons. Saving the Demon Stone for
later.
Afterwards, Kohina will pass out so Edge carries her to the springs where
her brother is. A few moments later, Kohina wakes up. Hearing that Edge
brought her here while she was unconcious and put her in the springs, she
gets the idea Edge done something. Edge quickly replies that he didn't and
goes red. Kohina's brother lets it pass this time round and thanks Edge for
defeating the beast and rescuing his sister. Now it's time for Kohina to
make that apology. Hearing that, Kuuya also apologizes for not being able
to protect her and they both decide to get stronger.
If you remember, Edge never took the Demon Blade before he went to save
Kohina so you now have to go back to where you fought the Shrine Monkey
again. Be prepared though, because you will have to fight with Ryouga
himself this time.
Once there, Ryouga appears to collect all the Demon Blades from Edge. Even
though Gabrio isn't helping him anymore, he managed to "borrow" Zeride for
a while. Edge refuses to hand the swords over so Ryouga changes, prepared
to take them by force. Just then Gabrio bursts in and wounds Ryouga.
Ignoring that, Ryouga attacks.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Ryouga |
| HP: 2500 |
| DUR: 150 |
| EXP: 8000 |
| b: 550 |
| ITEM: Horn of a Fierce God |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Ryouga's quick with his claws in demon form but you can take him out easily
with the Demon Stone.
Afterwards, Ryouga is back to his human form again but he's persistent on
fighting Edge. As long as Edge still wants to prevent the revival of Goula,
he will keep fighting. He then attacks Edge and the Demon Blades fly to the
ground. Gabrio runs over to collect them and refuses to hand them over to
Ryouga for Edge's sake. Ryouga gets angry hearing those words and just as
he was about to destroy the swords together with Gabrio, Edge changes. Then
there is a blinding flash of white light.
A moment later, Edge wakes up to find Kuuya, Kohina and the others around
him. Everyone was there apart from Ryouga. They don't know what happened to
him after the great energy Edge released because they lost conciousness.
Thinking it's his fault that his friend Ryouga is gone now, he starts to
hate his power. Kuuya then steps in to say that he must be responsible for
his own power and decide what to do with it rather than be depressed. Then
he leaves. Gabrio also feels sad now that it's turned out like this and
feels it's his fault that Edge changed. It's time to return home with the
swords now.
Tatan: Welcome back, Edge!
Edge: Yeah...
I'm back...
Orca: Great...!
You've got the last Demon Blade at last!
Edge: Yeah...
Orca: What's wrong...?
You don't seem happy...
Toumei: During an intense battle with Pasu, I've found a way to get
her to leave the body. Now you just have to gather the
materials...
Ninnya: Oh... I don't mind if you do that later.
It's more important we seal Goula...
Toumei: But it seems Pasu's bond with your body is growing
stronger. She must be taken out as soon as possible.
It seems Pasu has a reason for really desiring that body...
Tatan: The reason's Ryouga, right?
Edge: No need to worry about that now...
I've...
I've defeated... Ryouga...
Orca: H- Hey, Edge...
You defeated him...?!
You serious?!
Edge: Yeah...
Rinri: Tell us, Edge-kun...
What happened over there.
Edge: OK...
Moments later...
Rinri: ...
So that's what happened...
Edge: ...
Orca: The Demon Blade Bearer's power went out of control huh...
Tatan: But...
Edge was protecting everyone...
Ninnya: That's right...
It's not Edge-san's fault...
Edge: No... It's my fault...
Sorry... Rinri-san...
I... Killed Ryouga...
Rinri: I'm sorry, Edge-kun...
But I... don't know what to say right now...
Edge: Rinri-san...
Rinri: But... All I can say is this...
You weren't wrong...
You done well...
Edge: ...
Rinri: Thanks...
{Name of GB} too...
GB: {???}
Edge: ...
Rinri: Anyway...
That's all the Demon Blades gathered...
Lets get back to the village...
Tatan: Yes.
Dad's waiting for us to get back...!
Orca: I'll make you something good.
Ninnya Cheer up...
Edge-san...
Toumei: Hmmm...
Which way home is the most fortunate...?
Head back to Berg's place.
Berg: Welcome home, Edge...
I've heard it from everyone...
Good work...
Edge: I've gathered all the Demon Blades now...
Now... We can seal Goula...!
Then lets do it quick!
Like now...!
Tatan: What's wrong, Edge?
Calm down...!
Edge: I'VE HAD ENOUGH!
Orca: Edge...
Edge: ...
I've had enough...
Enough of this...
Berg: I see...
Edge: But... I'm the only one...
Who can use the Demon Blades to seal Goula right...?
So I want to get it done and over with...!
Then I won't need the power of the Demon Blades again...
And everyone in the village will be happy right...?
Berg: What...?
Edge: Master...
Berg: Thanks for those thoughts but, there's no way you can
seal Goula right now...
Edge: Why?!
Berg: Right now, the Gates of Goula are acting as a barrier...
To seal him, you must pass through the labyrinth that's
full of Goula's evil energy...
But the way you are now, you'll be dead before you get to
seal him.
Edge: Really... I've managed it somehow all this time!
I'll be all right!
Berg: What can you do when you're afraid of your own power?!
Edge: Uh-
But... What should I...
Berg: The power of the Demon Blade Bearer is the same as the
swords. If you're a craftsman then you'll figure it out
yourself.
When that time comes, I will tell you the key to open the
Gates of Goula...
Edge: But...
Night falls and Edge hides the last Demon Blade. Edge looks at his father's
memento and asks why it all came to this. He already knows how to make use
of the power of the Demon Blade Bearer. Edge's GB suggests he goes for a
walk.
This time round, several different events can happen the next morning
depending on your choice. The character you choose to meet will be
the character you end up meeting towards the END of the game so picky
carefully.
Here's what to do for each of the choices:
THE PLACE OF MEMORIES
Go to the ceremony area. Guess who your GB's praying for?
THE OPEN GROUNDS IN FRONT OF THE STONE SLAB
Meet Tatan downstairs. She's cooking something and asks if you want to eat
it now (top) or later. Tatan's made some curry and for the first time, it's
actually good!
THE FLOWER GARDEN OF BOLZAKS
Just head on out of the village and Edge will automatically make his way to
the wind fortress. The Gabrio who had always planned to leave decides to
stay.
THE GATE OF GOULA.
Head out the village and Edge will meet Rinri where he last saw Ryouga. She
cheers Edge up by saying how she can feel Ryouga is still alive and so,
Edge believes in his friend too.
WATERFALL FRONT.
Go to the fishing spot where Orca will tell Edge that he's not alone. He
doesn't need to worry about losing control because they'll be there for
him.
WHERE VOLGANO IS.
Exit the village and Edge will go to where Ninnya is. Ninnya talks about
her past and gives Edge some oily seeds to eat.
And, that's the event for the day. At night, Edge will talk to Berg.
Edge: Master...!
Berg: Oh... That look...
Looks like you've caught onto something...
Edge: The power of the Demon Blade Bearer is the same as the
swords... In other words, it's decided by the person who
uses them...
Berg: Well, that's something you can understand if you think
about it. So, how will you use them?
Edge: It's obvious.
To seal Goula!
Tatan: Edge!
Berg: Oh...
You're not afraid of losing control of the power now?
Edge: Not at all!
...or that's what I want to say but, I'm scared actually...
Orca: Edge...
Edge: But I know...
Berg: ....
Edge: I know that I'm not alone...
Everyone's here to support me...!
I'll be alright!
I can fight!
Berg: Edge...!
Well said!
Yes... You're not alone!
Don't forget that I'm with you too!
Go on with all your might!
Edge: Master...!
Thank you!
Well, please tell me what the key to open the Gates of
Goula is!
Berg: It's late now so we'll do it tomorrow.
Edge: WHAT~?
Berg: What are you saying, Edge?!
You'll forget it while you're sleeping right?
Edge: No- No way...
Orca: It's possible.
Edge: Hey...
Tatan: Possible.
Edge: You too...
GB: Possible.
Edge: I give up.
- 8.11 Chapter 10, The Return of Peace in Cliff Village
Next morning, just as Edge thought they could learn the secret to unlock
the gates, they hear a cry. Head downstairs to find the 2 children Rakulu
and Kulmin there. It seems Ninnya is disappearing! Zeride had come to tell
Rakulu that. Now everyone hurries over to where Ninnya usually is. So, head
on over to where Volgano is.
Upon arriving at the caves, you'll hear that Pasu was here asking Ninnya
what happened to Ryouga. Hearing how Ryouga maybe dead must have
strengthened the link between Pasu and Ninnya's body. That's why she's
disappearing now. Gabrio's already off after Pasu so Orca decides to go
help. In the meantime, Edge is to go find Toumei to make the right weapon
to get Pasu to leave Ninnya's body. But, just as Orca leaves they hear a
loud voice.
Continue east until you find Toumei. Seems he's been wandering around for a
while while he was working out the most fortunate way of travelling. Edge
tells him what's going on and as usual, he's very picky about what sort of
things he need to prepare what they need. He needs a sword made out of
material that Pasu doesn't like. Edge thinks back to the time when he had
to get the Hisume Stone back for Zahne and remembers how Pasu reacted to
the big lobster. So, he decides they'll make a sword out of lobster
pincers.
Well, if you haven't been doing a lot of experimenting with weapon making
then you should have one of those. You get it after defeating the Aqua
Elementwho wanted people to dress amorously. The icon of the material is
blue and is in the shape of a lobster's pincer. If you have used it, don't
worry. It just means a bit more work for you. For those of you who still
have it, you can skip the next paragraph.
That's right. You need to head back to the Ever Summer Sea Caves (the
beach) to get it. Get into random battles and look for a big purple monster
holding a trident. The monster is no. 48 in the monster encylopaedia. You
might have come across it. Beat it and hope that it'll drop one of those
pincers you need.
Go back to forge the sword with the pincers then go to the fishing area
again and give it to Toumei. He'll say Edge's skills have improved and that
you use the sword the same way as before. Head on out the village and
Zeride will be there to pick Edge up. He'll teleport you to the outside of
the lightning fortress where Edge will hear Pasu's voice. Be ready for a
fight with Pasu and one of her beasts.
Inside, you'll find Pasu trying to force Brnildo to teleport her to where
Ryouga was. She refuses to believe he's dead and when she see's Edge, she's
even more angry. Edge tries to apologize but he knows he won't be forgiven
but he still needs to get Ninnya's body back.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Pasu |
| HP: 1500 |
| DUR: 270 |
| EXP: 8800 |
| b: 700 |
| ITEM: Highly Demonic Life Stone |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Their attacks are very pesistent but nothing a quick transformation can't
handle.
After you beat Pasu, Edge will force her out of Ninnya's body then take it
to where Ninnya is. Just in time too because she seems a lot weaker than
before. She returns into her body then for a moment, nothing happens.
Suddenly she wakes up and is jumping with joy. She gives Edge a hug and
thanks everyone too but then, she collapses again. She must be tired after
nearly disappearing completely. It's time for Edge to prepare himself to
seal Goula now. On the other hand, Orca said he saw someone suspicious
while he was looking for Pasu. Someone that looked like Gedor so he's going
to go check it out. Meanwhile, Gabrio looks after Ninnya and Rinri escorts
Tatan home.
Return home to find that Tatan's back but Orca's still out. Go upstairs to
your room and examine the bottom of your bed to retrieve the Demon Blades.
Just then, Orca will be back. Go downstairs to meet him along with the
others.
Edge: Ah! Village chief-san.
Chief: It's nearly time to go seal Goula.
Edge: Yes...
I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused the villagers...
Chief: We're the ones who should be sorry...
Having to put the fate of the village on a young
person like you...
It is shameful...
Edge: It's OK...
I'm the Demon Blade Bearer after all.
Chief: Edge...
I shall thank you on behalf of the villagers... and...
We're counting on you!
Edge: Yes sir!
Berg: Well, it's time to tell you how to open the Gates of Goula.
Edge: Yes.
Berg: The key is you, the Demon Blade Bearer and the 4 Demon
Blades... And that red demon stone.
Edge: Dad's memento...
Berg: First, go to the Gates of Goula then face the red demon
stone towards the crest on the door and say this...
Akaunt!
Edge: A... Akaunt...?
Is that a spell...?
Feels kind of embarassing...
Berg: Akaunt!
Edge: OK OK...
"Akaunt" right?
I got it!
Berg: Then the Gates of Goula will open.
You then have to undo the seals on the 4 Demon Blades.
Edge: Now you mention it... How do I seal Goula?
I can't use magic or anything...
Berg: Don't worry...
I'm sure your memory as a Demon Blade Bearer will know.
Edge: My memory as a Demon Blade Bearer...?
Orca: Well...
You'll know whe you get there.
We're counting on you.
Edge: Orca...
Tatan will then make Edge promise that he'll come back safely and goes out.
Probably to pray in front of the stone says Orca. Edge asks him what
happened with the suspicious person and Orca replies he couldn't find him
again. He hopes he just made a mistake. Everyone hopes for the best for
Edge and leaves.
So, head on over to the gate and talk to Orca. He'll ask if you're ready so
pick the first optioin to say Yes. Be prepared for another fight with
Ryouga.
Edge takes out his father's memento and shouts out the word Berg told him
too and symbols appear on the gate. Just as they're about to go in, Ryouga
appears. Edge is glad that he's alive while Orca wonders how he got through
the barrier around the village. Obviously the barrier was ineffective
against him long ago. Once again, Ryouga asks if he's still persistent on
going to seal Goula and of course, Edge answers yes. No matter what waits
ahead, he's going. So, a fight breaks out.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Ryouga |
| HP: 3000 |
| DUR: 180 |
| EXP: 9000 |
| b: 60 |
| ITEM: Life Stone of a Fierce Demom Boy |
+-----------------------------------------------+
As before he's very quick but, keep your distance when attacking him and
you should be fine.
After the fight, Ryouga still doesn't let Edge go and Gedor appears holding
Tatan hostage. It appears Ryouga knows nothing about it, though. Orca tries
to rescue his sister but gets knocked away. Gedor still thinks everyone's
trying to take away his happiness, getting the power of Goula. Just then,
Ryouga senses a demon in him and Toumei also arrives at the scene. With
Tatan hostage, they can't really do anything so Edge does as Gedor says and
goes towards him. Just as he was going to get killed, chains of lightning
strikes the area and Rinri appears. Everyone passes out apart from Edge,
his GB, Ryouga and Rinri.
Rinri goes onto say something about how Ryouga's purpose was to gather the
Demon Blades. Then he had no need to come back to the village. She goes
onto saying about returning the Demon Blades to Goula-sama saying that
they're the source of Goula's power. So, they can't forgive humans for
using Goula's own power to seal him. Even the power of the Demon Blade
Bearer that has been passed down from generation to generation is part of
Goula's soul. Now, Rinri must return them all back to Goula because of the
link between her and her master, Glen. While Ryouga wants the power of
Goula to break that link, Rinri now needs Edge's life and the Demon Blades
to revive Goula. All this time, Ryouga had been trying to save Edge by
keeping the Demon Blades away from him. Just then, Goula's booming voice is
heard and a burst of his evil energy sweeps Gedor away. Rinri grabs Orca
and Tatan then tells Edge that'll she'll be waiting where Goula is.
Back home, Edge understands why his father apologized to him now when he
was younger. Ryouga lays in bed and without Gabrio's help, Edge couldn't
have carried him home. Edge still can't believe what Rinri really was and
what she's doing now. Also how all this time Ryouga had wanted to help him
and his sister. Next, Edge's GB comes up to tell him his master's calling.
Go downstairs to talk to Berg and he'll ask if you're finished with Ryouga.
Answer yes and Edge will explain about what happened to everyone. They also
learn that to revive Goula, they need a body to tranfer his energy over
too. That's what Ryouga wanted so he could break the link between Rinri and
the man named Glen. They also learn from the chief that Glen is the man
that attacked the village long ago and got defeated by Edge's father using
the Demon Blades. Now he's using Rinri to take vengeance.
Legend has it that a group of summoners had tried to summon Goula long ago
but failed. Part of Goula remained in one of the summoners and since they
had no way of sending him back, they stole the source of Goula's power, the
Demon Blades to defeat him. Even so, his energy did not get destroyed
completely so the Demon Blades were also used to seal him. Since they knew
that a person couldn't possibly live with Goula's energy in them, they
added in a summon night stone to seal the energy within. It turns out Edge
and the chief knew about it all this time but said nothing of it. Now Edge
wants to go save Orca and Tatan but, knowing it's a trap the chief doesn't
let him. Even Berg says the same thing and says the sealing Goula is more
important right now.
Once you're ready, head on back to the gates. You'll have to fight
Berg there. Along the way, the children will ask Edge where Orca and Rinri
is. Edge just answers they're out. Continue to the gate to find Gabrio and
the others gathered together. It seems they were thinking of saving Tatan
and Orca in place of Edge. Edge thanks them but says he must go himself.
Being Toumei, he says he won't let Edge go but then Berg appears. He tries
to talk Edge out of it but since Edge won't listen, he summons his weapon
and attacks.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Berg |
| HP: 2500 |
| DUR: 290 |
| EXP: 9500 |
| b: 700 |
| ITEM: Real Iron Orb |
+-----------------------------------------------+
He's not too hard but watch out for his spinning axe attack. It can take a
lot of your HP away in one go.
Afterwards, Berg will understand Edge's feelings and tells him that his
skills as a craftsman has gone up. He's no longer just an apprentice now so
he decides to let Edge decide his own future. Seeing what a wonderful
battle it was, Toumei also praises him and says he'll let them through. Now
it's just how Edge is planning to save Orca and Tatan. He's only thought
about finding them and having thought about how to bring them back. Gabrio
suggests getting Zeride to help to teleport them back and hands Ed's GB a
communication device so that he can contact them. Then they help Berg back
home.
Once you're ready, go into the gate into Goula's dungeon. Head on up and
into the first area. Follow the path and you'll come a cross a button and 2
boulders. If you go to the door, it'll say light up the 2 eyes so, use your
knuckle weapon to punch the 2 boulders onto the switches. Next, continue
through the door into area 2. Follow the path round til you get into area
3.
Head on south here until you come across 3 sentries. Enter the door there
and continue into the room to the right to find 2 chests with a diary and a
first aid kit. Exit the way you came back to the sentries then head on
down. Ignore the door for now and slide to the right. Follow the path then
fall down the hole at the end into level 2 of the dungeon.
Go to the top right for some goodies then take the left path and go up the
centre into area 2. Follow the path along the wall and exit through the far
southwest corner. Follow the path down to find a door going back up. Go on
up to find yourself back where the patch of red ground is. Hit the first
boulder you come across upwards until it just passes the one to your left.
Then slide your way across and punch the left boulder so that it's lined up
with the button above. Now you can punch the 2 boulders up easily then into
level 2 of the dungeon again.
Go on left into area 3 where you'll find a healing point. Go to the far
left wall and slide north. Next, slide to the boulder to the right and hit
it south until it lines up with the wall. Slide on back to the HP point and
now the boulder will be there so that you can slide to the centre then make
your way up through the door and into level 3 of the dungeon.
Go to the left where there's 2 holes and into the door. You'll find a medal
inside. Leave the room again and make your way to the door in the
southeast. You'll find a chest to the left with a first aid kit. Go down
into level 4. If you go up to the door on this level, Edge will feel weak
for a moment. If you then go up to the door, it says "The searcher will
know the eye of truth". In other words, you need to know the right button
to hit in the middle.
You can either follow my instructions in the next 3 paragraphs to go see
for yourself where the hint is or, you can just skip them and hit the
right switches right away. Up to you.
Return back up to the area where there's 2 holes and drop down the bottom
one. Go north and up the stairs. Next, go south and fall through the
first hole to the left. Now follow the path west and go through the door to
the north. Fall down the hole to the left and go through the door in the
area you arrive in. Fall through the hole and then make your way to the
next door. Do the same again and fall through the hole into level 4 of the
dungeon, area 3.
To the north you'll find two chests here. Once you opened them, head on
through the door you passed by at the bottom into level 3, area 3 of the
dungeon. Go on up to find 2 sentries and a row of eyes we came across
earlier. So, that's the code to opening that door.
Continue south and fall down the hole there. Go up the stairs in the next
area then fall down another hole to the south. Go on up through the door
then fall down the hole in the south again into level 4, area 3 of the
dungeon. Continue on by going up the stairs here. Go over the hole to the
right and fall down it then up the stairs in the next area. To the north,
you'll find a chest with a diary in it. Collect it then fall down the hole
to the right again. Now go to through the door to the right then drop down
the hole to the south in the next area. Go up the stairs then follow the
path round to where the boulder is. Move the boulder out the way and follow
the path round to the next door. Go up it to find the area with the locked
door again.
OK, if you went to see the hint yourself then you should know what buttons
you should press. If not, number the eyes 1 to 5 from the left and turn on
eyes number 1, 3 and 4. The door will unlock and you will be able to go
down to level 5. Now for a bit of puzzle solving. Go south and you'll find
a boulder. Knock it out the way first then have a good look at the maze and
workout how you're going to push it upwards to where the narrow slippy
passageway is. Otherwise, you can't get to Rinri. If you make a mistake,
exit the area and go back in again.
Once you're at level 6 of the dungeon, Rinri will appear with Orca and
Tatan. Edge will try to reason with her again and get her to stop but she
can't as long as she has a link to Glen. She then gets Edge to open the
door and into where Goula is. Inside, she will tell Edge that because Goula
was taken from them, their race's power got weakened and hearing that, Glen
decided to revive Goula. Even though they don't know what Goula will do to
humans once he's revived, she's going to do it anyway. Then she gets Orca
to undo the seals on the Demon Blades while Tatan is still unconcious. Orca
apologizes to Edge but he says it's not his fault. Then he remembers the
communication device Gabrio gave them.
Now, as you throw the Demon Blades in one after the other. You will have 2
choices first:
Signal to {GB's name}
Unseal the Demon Blade.
If you do pick signal, watch for your GB's reaction. If it's an exclamation
mark then your GB will get what Edge is hinting at. Afterwards, you won't
have to signal to it again or Rinri will find out what you're doing and
destroy your communicator. So, just keep unsealing the Demon Blades after
your GB understands. Keeping the communicator intact will allow you to
fight Gabrio too in the Bonus mode once you complete the game.
Either way, Gabrio will appear just as Edge was going to throw in the last
Demon Blade and wounds Rinri. Then he and Ninnya helps Orca and Tatan away.
Rinri will no longer need Edge now that all the Demon Blades have been
unsealed so a fight breaks out. As long as there is a link between Glen and
her, she can't stop.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Rinri |
| HP: 3500 |
| DUR: 300 |
| EXP: 10000 |
| b: 750 |
| ITEM: Life Stone of a Demon Girl |
+-----------------------------------------------+
A few Omega Bursts and then finished her off with the Demon Stone.
After the fight, Rinri will understand Edge's feelings about how he has to
defeat her to save everyone. Yet, he still wanted to save Rinri too
somehow. Rinri thanks him but she still needs the Demon Blade and so she
takes it from him and uses it. Since only the Demon Blade Bearer can use
them, she wears herself out and Goula is revived.
Suddenly, Edge will hear someone's onimous voice inside him. It says it
will get its soul back and also Edge's body then break out of the dungeon.
Another voice appears and asks the other one who he is. It turns out the
onimous voice is Glen Goula while the new one is the piece of Goula's soul
that's inside Edge. A moment later, Edge will get woken up by his GB then
Goula attacks.
You won't be able to beat Goula. Just keep yourself alive until the story
moves on.
After trying to attack Goula, Edge will realise his attacks are no use.
Just as Goula was about to get a hold of Edge's body, Edge's GB jumps in to
stop it and there is a blinding flash of light. Gabrio appears afterwards
and tells Edge to run. Goula tries to get them but Toumei sets up a barrier
to hold it while they run.
Back outside, Tatan and Orca seems to be OK. Edge explains that Glen's evil
spirit is attached to Goula too and they're both about to be revived. Now
Toumei understands how he sensed 2 flows of evil energy in the village.
Ninnya then goes onto say that Rinri maybe linked to Glen's spirit so, if
they destroy him, that will free her too. Edge asks his GB what that light
was and the GB answers it's a crystal that a boy gave to him. It just
suddenly gave off light. Then it comes to mind that they can make a weapon
out of it since Goula seems weak against it. In the meantime, Toumei gets
Gabrio and Ninnya to help him enforce his barrier. Orca goes back to report
to the chief and Tatan goes back to where Berg is.
So, head back to the workshop to forge that weapon with the crystal you
received. Once back in the house, Berg will also thank you for saving Tatan
and Orca. Continue upstairs and for the weapon of your choice with the blue
crystal. It should be at the end of the list.
Head on downstairs to find Brnildo's here. Edge learns that its orginal
purpose was to govern the teleportation facility in the village. Edge
doesn't know where it is so the chief tells him it's the big stone in the
gathering area. One day, when Glen attacked the village, Graeme had ordered
it to go and hide in a safe place. That's how it ended up in the fortress.
The chief decided to call it back now so that in case Goula gets revived,
they can use Brnildo to increase the power of the facility to destroy it.
It will destroy the village and everyone in it but that's the only choice
they have if Edge fails. With that, everyone wishes Edge good luck in
defeating Goula and finding Rinri then leaves.
Once you're ready, head to the gate to find everyone gathered there helping
Toumei with the barrier. Edge says there's no time for that and tells them
they should leave because of how the chief is planning to use the facility.
But, they all believe that Edge will win so they will stay. Talk to Zeride
and he will transport you to where Goula is. Don't forget to equip that
weapon you made or you won't be allowed to fight Goula. You will have to
fight him twice in 2 different forms.
Once there, Edge will find Rinri is all right. Glen had helped use Goula to
suppress her so that she doesn't get out of control. Edge then tells her
that Glen's thinks nothing of her and is only using her to get a hold of
Goula's power just like Gedor. But, Glen continues to deceive Rinri saying
that she shouldn't believe him and Edge attacks while Toumei's barrier is
keeping him in place.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Glen Goula (First Form) |
| HP: 12800 |
| EXP: 17000 |
| b: 1000 |
| ITEM: None |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Goula's first form is pretty hard because there's pretty much no room for
you to avoid it's rush attack. So, stay close to it and most of the time it
will just use it's swords to attack you. Don't forget you need to use the
weapon you forged with the crystal to attack or you won't inflict much
damage.
After you defeat Goula, Glen says he needs more power and decides to absorb
Rinri's body. Even though he couldn't absorb Edge's body like he planned,
he seems satisfied enough with his current power. He then says he can hear
the suffering voices of Edge's friends outside and lets him hear them.
Orca: You still need time, Edge?
Ninnya: I'm... reaching my limits...!
Toumei: At this rate, we're going to...
Gabrio: The... The power...!
Tatan: Edge...
Glen goes onto say that he's given up on making the piece of Goula's soul
part of him too now but, he's going to take Edge's life. Just as Edge feels
he can't win, Ryouga comes in to wake him up. He hears the voices of the
others outside cheering him on.
Orca: Edge... We believe in you...!
We always will...
Ninnya: Edge will defeat him...
Toumei: I'm with you...
Edge!
Gabrio: I'm sure... you can do it...!
Edge!
Tatan: You'll come back to us...!
Edge!
Villagers: EDGE!
The barrier strengthens once again. Edge decides to fight on for everyone
including Rinri and Goula. Hearing that, the piece of spirit of Goula
within Edge agrees to lend him his power and Edge changes into his second
form.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Glen Goula (Second Form) |
| HP: 40000 |
| EXP: 19000 |
| b: 1000 |
| ITEM: Red Demon Stone |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Glen has all sorts of spell attacks so all you can do is counter as best as
you can. You'll have access to all your spells this time round even though
Edge is in demon form. But, you still can't change weapons. Your weapon
will self-repair itself though.
After you defeat Glen, his spirit will leave Goula's body and Goula gets
out of control. Edge decides to give the soul he has back to Goula's body.
His GB is worried it will destroy the village but he says don't worry.
After returning the soul, Goula returns Rinri again. They then find Goula
is actually a very small looking beast but Goula shouts angrily don't call
it small. Now that Goula lost his host, he's back to his normal self again.
He'll be returning to the world of Siltan later but it'll take some time.
In the meantime, he will stay in the village and watch over them. He'll
stay in hiding so that there won't be too much disturbance. Then everyone
comes in.
Graeme: I'm sorry...
Edge...
Edge: It's OK, dad...
I'm really glad that I had the power of the Demon Blade Bearer.
Thanks, dad.
Graeme: ....
Edge...
After the credits, Edge and Ryouga meets up at night...
Ryouga: This was the place where I first met you...
Edge: Yeah...
Ryouga: I'm sure that...
You were crying when you thought about your dad...
Edge: No...
I wasn't crying...!
Ryouga: Thank you, Edge...
You believed in me no matter what happened.
Edge: I should be the one saying thanks.
You've been thinking of me all this time...
Ryouga: Uh...
You say that sort of thing without hesitating huh...
Edge: But it's true!
Ryouga: Heh...!
But in the end... My sister and I caused the villagers a
lot of trouble...
Well, my sister's waiting so I should be going...
Edge: Ryouga...
Ryouga: This place is where I see you for the last time in the
village too huh...
Edge: Ryouga...
Ryouga: Hey hey...
Don't cry...
Edge: Like I said...
I don't cry...
Ryouga: Man...!
It's not like we'll be seperated for life...
Edge: Yeah, you're right...
Ryouga: Oh yeah... Here...
It's from my sister...
Edge: A letter...?
Ryouga: Listen...!
I've given it to you now!
Edge: Uh...
Yeah!
Ryouga: Well...
Edge: Ryouga...
Ryouga: We'll meet again someday... OK!
Edge: Yeah...!
Bye...!
After that, Edge will meet up with the person you chose to meet up
with at night, just before chapter 10. I chose Rinri so here's the ending
for her.
At the fire fortress...
Edge: Rinri-san...
Rinri: Thanks, Edge-kun.
I'm really happy that you came to see me again...
Edge: Not at all...
I wanted to see you too...
You disappeared for a while...
Rinri: I'm sorry...
I just can't go see everyone again...
But I wanted to apoligize to you.
Edge: Not at all...
It was only because you had a link to Glen...
Rinri: But it can't be forgiven just because of that.
I done such horrible things...
I'm really sorry...
Edge: No...
I should be the one who really has to apologize...
Rinri: Apologize...?
To me?
Edge: Well... My ancestors caused you guys so much trouble...
Rinri: Edge-kun...
Thanks...
Just those feelings are enough for me...
If you were the one who summoned me back then, I maybe full
of happiness now...
Edge: If I could become a summoner now, I could make you happy
couldn't I?
Rinri: I'm happy enough now.
Being able to meet such a kind person like you...
Edge: Rinri-san...
Rinri: Your blushing face is really cute too.
I love it.
Edge: Come on, Rinri-san.
Don't tease me.
Rinri: I wanted to see that face of yours.
Edge: Oh...
Rinri: I'm going now.
Bye, Edge-kun.
Take care of everyone.
Edge: Rinri-san!
We'll meet again, won't we...!
Rinri: Yes...
I'm...
Free now...
Finally, you will be told that a new passageway has opened up in the centre
of a magic circle and you will get to save the game. Now you can do what
you like and re-visit all the areas if you want. Brnildo will now be in the
assembly area but unfortunately, he can't teleport you to the new
"hidden" dungeon areas that's opened up. You'll find that there will
now be new floors in Goula's Dungeon where the magical circle appeared.
You will also have an extra Demon Stone now which is no different from the
one you already have.
You have now completed the game! =)
- 8.12 The Hidden Dungeons
As you can guess, the first hidden area can be accessed by going to where
you fought Glen Goula, where the circle is. Stand in the middle and
press A. After defeating the boss Death Heat at the end of the secret
areas, you'll find an Activation Switch in one of the chests. You'll need
it later.
The other 4 hidden areas are accessed by visiting the 4 places that only
Brnildo can teleport you to. These are in the order of:
1. The Rusting Mechanical Dungeon
2. The Ever Summer Beach Caves
3. The Antartic Snow Valleys
4. The Boiling Waters of Hell
You MUST clear these new areas in the dungeons in order to be able to gain
access to the other dungeons. The reason for this is because you need to
find key items in the chests long the way.
1. With the Activation Switch in possession, visit level 6 of the dungeon
and go to the area where you obtained the core parts for the Gunvard.
You'll find the robot you fought with before there along with a smaller
robot. Inspect the console there next to the smaller robot and a new
area will open up.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Satellite Eye |
| HP: 32000 |
| EXP: 2000 |
| b: 2000 |
| ITEM: Mystery Box |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Obtain the Calling Child of Water from the left chest afterwards to
access the next dungeon's secret area.
2. You'll meet the two love birds, Zahne and Viyon again just as you enter
the dungeon.
Go to the area where you fought the lobster dragon and stand in front of
the middle waterfall then inspect it.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Crayfish |
| HP: 42000 |
| EXP: 42000 |
| b: 3000 |
| ITEM: Cat's Paw Ornament |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Collect the Snow Melting Powder in the chest behind the boss
afterwards for access to the next dungeon.
3. Go to the area where you found the Demon Blade. To the right of the big
snowflake-like object you'll see some ice that's a different colour. Go
up to it and inspect it and the powder from the last dungeon will melt
it away.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: Ice Doll |
| HP: 52000 |
| EXP: 52000 |
| b: 4000 |
| ITEM: Ice Statue of an Angel |
+-----------------------------------------------+
Collect the Seal Breaker from the chest in the top left corner to access
the next area.
4. Again, go to the area where you found the Demon Blade. Apart from seeing
Kuuya and Kohina again, you'll also meet two other familiar people
here. One of them wanted to go to the springs here because... He
won't go into the details but, he's red in the face.
Anyway, examine the rock in the back to gain access to the new areas.
Inside you'll find Toumei doing his usual rounds of exorcism. He senses
great evil deep within the dungeons.
+-----------------------------------------------+
| BOSS: The Real Demon Shrine Monkey |
| HP: 62000 |
| EXP: 62000 |
| b: 5000 |
| ITEM: Knowledge of a Samurai |
+-----------------------------------------------+
And that about sums everything up.
=========
9.0 Omake
=========
Just in case you don't know, 'omake' means extra or bonus in Japanese. This
is the third option at the title screen and only appears after you
completed the game and saved.
The first option you're likely to unlock after completing the game is Rival
Battle where you must defeat your opponents as quickly as possible. Keeping
the communicator intact while facing Rinri will allow you to fight Gabrio
too.
The following can also be unlocked:
Sound Mode - Complete all weapons then talk to the man
in green at the fire fortress about the 3rd
topic. He's give you a sound test machine.
Summon Night 2 Battle - Get the highest craftsman rank in the game,
"Legendary Craftsman" then talk to the man
in green at the fire fortress. Choose the
second topic to obtain the Hero's Hammer.
Again, a time attack mode but playing
as Magna or Toris.
Rabbit Battle - Go beat the Raging Rabbit after you've
completed the game to get a Carrot Medal.
Another time attack mode, playing as the
Raging Rabbit itself.
Boss Battles - Complete your monster encyclopaedia then
talk to the man about the 4th topic to get
a Boss Medal.
Fight through all the bosses in the game as
quickly as you can.
As for the last Omake, I read that you get to use the Gunvard again. To
unlock it, you must destroy all the objects that the old man in the village
tells you to. Once that's all done, you get a Spectator's Ticket. The old
man's home is in the south area of Cliff Village where 2 children are
standing facing each other at the front.
The second last option in the Omake menu allows you to save your times and
the last option exits Omake mode.
