So while listening to Tales of Symphonia-related music, Adam Lamontagne (whose
name I am sure I am spelling wrong) suggested to the NES FAQ Completion Project
topic that someone complete a guide for this game. After a fun time dealing
with the Tezcat, I am here. With you.

This game is definitely...unique. I'll get into that later. Anyway, enjoy the
guide. Also, while I will transpose the map here, I might refer to the image,
which can be found here:

http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/nes/file/tombs_and_treasure_overworld.png.

It's small because SOMEONE went and scaled it, and I have yet to edit the map
to make it look decent in its scaled form. Not that I am bitter.

Also, a note regarding spoilers. The only promise I make in regards to not
spoiling them is that I won't spoil them too soon. For instance, I'll wait
until later in the guide to tell you that Beth ----------------------------.

This guide is dedicated to the two kings of the NES, Adam Lamontagne and Brian
Sulpher. They are unrivaled in their mastery of the games for the system, and
any guide they write will undoubtedly be better than mine. So why are you
wasting your time reading this? Go check out their work!

And also to those writers who have passed on, namely Chris "Kao Megura"
MacDonald and Elliot "Ny0Cloud" Long. May they rest in peace.

This is taken from the beginning of the game; I take no credit:

"
June 10th.
Prof. Imes sets out for Chichen Itza with 7 men.
June 22nd.
One man disappears while studying El Castillo Pyramid
July 9th.
Three men disappear while researching the Well of Sacrifice.
July 14th.
Prof. Imes and 2 others vanish mysteriously while excavating the Ball
Court.

Only the guide returns.

July 17th.
The professor's notes and a few artifacts are found in the Well of
Sacrifice.
Prof. Imes was an expert on ancient Mayan writing. He read in an old book that
the mythical Sun Key was hidden at Chichen Itza & set out to discover it.
Prof. Imes' daughter was a close friend. Since it was summer vacation, we
decided to go to Mexico to solve the mystery of his disappearance."

at telling the truth ("Aaron, you're no good here.")
Jose - Professor Imes' guide and the only survivor of that
expedition. He's inhumanly strong.
Anne - Professor Imes' secretary. She helps you at the start of the
game.

| 2.04: Battling |
0=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~0

This game is unique in its battle system insofar as you don't, technically,
fight. You use the fight command to attack. It either: (a) Heavily damages
the opponent, (b) barely injures the opponent, or (c) misses. If you are at
the proper level, it will heavily damage or miss. If you're not, it'll barely
damage and miss. There's a good chance that you won't survive the latter
situation. Sometimes, even if you are at the maximum level, you'll have to use
a special artifact like a joined Blue Jewel or Red Jewel and the Sword, the
Ring of Itza, or the Akbal Jewel. You have a certain amount of HP. When it
hits zero, you die. Enemies will do a certain amount of damage to you
depending on your level, with the same criteria as your damage to them: if
you're high levelled, they do little damage and vice-versa.

Got it?

Description: A holy incense used for relgious revival ceremonies. And to wake
people up like a strong cologne. INCENSE AND PEPPERMINTS.

Tomb of Hi-Priest that's behind the Hi-Priest's skull. Gotta love
it.

Location : Castillo Pyramid
Description: If you get really hungry... Actually, when used with the small
rod, you can make a homemade compass like you did when you were
five (the difference being that no one cares if you break this)!

-<Silver Globe>-
Location : El Castillo Pyramid
Description: It's a silver globe that can become transparent.

-<Silver Head>-
Location : Court of Columns

it up as well.

-<Sun Necklace>-
Location : Temple of Warriors
Description: Y'know how your history teachers always said that the Mayans
invented the calendar, the sundial, the digital watch, etc.? An

for a jewel.

this.

III. Walkthrough

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I'm not going to divide the walkthrough for obvious reasons. Each place will
be preceeded with a header that says the name of the place (I hope), the items
found there, and the level you should be at. Due to the nature of this game,
it's kinda the required level. The first time I played through this game, I
missed one level, which didn't really hurt me until I reached Tezcat, who
murdered me. I'll label what gives you levels in the walkthrough.

Additionally, since you can name your characters and since there's no default
name, let's go with this: the boy's name will be Aaron, and the girl's name
will be Beth (these names being some of my friends as well as decently easy
names). While I won't ask that you use these names, just realize that I'll use
those names in the walkthrough; you can use whatever names you like.

Here's a map that I'll reference. This game has few buildings to enter but has
an enormous world map.

--------------------------

Let's get started!

Professor Imes' Laboratory
--------------------------
Items: Lighter, Sword, Silver Key
Level: 1

You start in the main room of this lab. Do any action, and the secretary will
talk to you. Once she's done (essentially, she's sorry about what happened;
there are some important things that she says here, but since you've got this
excellent walkthrough, you won't need them), take the Sword, the Lighter, and
the Silver Key. Now walk backward, do any other action, and the guide Jose
will talk to you. Once he's said his spiel (once again, there are important
clues, but you're using a walkthrough!), head forward to leave the Laboratory.
Understand, however, that you can never return. NEVER. MWAHAHA.

Once you're outside on the world map, head north one square to the Nunnery
(D7). The entrance can be kinda hard to find. There's a taller part to the
building in the bottom corner of the building. In the middle of this is a hole
that you can use to enter.

Nunnery
-------
Items: Ixmol Jewel
Level: 1

The Nunnery contains three statues: a girl, a man, and a warrior. The game
hides this really well, but if you look really closely, something is out of
place. That's right -- among the grey, there's a bright blue gem. Take this,
the Ixmol Jewel, from the hands of the girl statue. That's all there is to the
building; go ahead and leave (go backwards).

From the Nunnery, go west two screens and then up three (B4). You'll reach a
large pyramid with an opening at its zenith. Ascend the stairs (there are
lotsa pyramids. This is Mexico, so obviously...), and enter the pyramid.

Tomb of Hi-Priest
-----------------
Items: Mosaic Tile, One-Eyed Mask
Level: 1

Once in the Tomb of Hi-Priest, make any move to fight Skorpor. He's really
easy. You'll find that every enemy in the game is ridiculously easy if you're
at the right level. Once he has been killed (you level up), change to Jose,
who will say that it's his turn to help. Have him push on the wall (it's the
big orange thing on the right), and a new passage will open. Go right, and
you'll enter it. In this secret passage is a coffin. Activate the take
command, and look around until you find an item called the Mosaic Tile. Take
it, and the coffin will open. Take the One-Eyed Mask off of the skeleton, and
then look at the skeleton. Move its skull to find a keyhole (level up). You
can't do anything with the keyhole at the moment, so go backwards, left, and
backwards to leave the Tomb of Hi-Priest.

Head east until you encounter another pyramid (E4). Enter this through the top
of the pyramid.

Castillo Pyramid
----------------
Items: Silver Globe, Ring of Itza, Gold Mirror, Gold Stand, Shallow Bowl,
Iron Rod, Red Jewel, Lincoln's Car Keys, Original Declaration...
Level: 2

Obviously I am kidding about the last two. Lincoln drove a plane, not a car.
But seriously, there is a crapload of treasure in this dungeon. When you
enter, you'll face Two-Beak. As with Skorpor, he's really easy to take out.
Once he's been taken care of (level up), go forward to find...a dead end.
Whoops. Put the Mosaic Tile in the hole to unlock a treasure room. There's a
ton of stuff to do here. First off, take the globe from the statue's hands.
This is the Silver Globe. Smash the Tall Flask to receive the Ring of Itza
(which Beth promptly takes and you do not get back until the end). Now take
the Gold Mirror, Gold Stand, and Shallow Bowl. Move the Pile of Gold to get a
Red Jewel, and then look in the Flask to find an Iron Rod. Look at the Stone
Box. You'll find that it has three tablets that you can't read. That's easy.
Join the Red Jewel and the One-Eyed Mask, and then use it to see what the
tablets say. You couldn't beat the game without either seeing this (either
because you didn't know what to find or because you missed on this level up).
You learn that you have to find a Sun Necklace. Join the Red Jewel and the
Sword before leaving (level up). Once you've finished, leave the Castillo
Pyramid (go back twice), go east one screen, and then go south two screens to
F6: the Well of Paradise. To enter, go to the stone structure on the east side
of the lake.

Note: You levelled up at some point in the Castillo Pyramid aside from the two
I mentioned; however, there's no way to figure out what does it. I know
that reading the stone tablets is one because that's what I missed my
first time through.

Well of Paradise
----------------
Items: Golden Pipes
Level: 6

Once here, wash the Gold Mirror (level up) to find Pan Pipes. Join the Pan
Pipes and the Bandage to get the Golden Pipes, and then leave the Well.

From the Well of Paradise, head west three screens to find a weird structure
with a dome on top of it (C6). This is...

El Caracol
----------
Items: None
Level: 7

Once at El Caracol, you'll find the Snake Master. This is a weird giant with
snakes for hair and with a toga. At level seven, he's easy enough. Take him
out (level up), and then put the Silver Globe on the pedestal in the middle of
the room. Change to Beth (you just have to hit change once). Have Beth play
the Golden Pipes to make the Silver Globe transparent. Leave El Caracol.

Go east until you reach the Well of Paradise, and then head north until you
find a bunch of columns (F2). Look at the column closest to you in the column
of columns (ha!) that is the third from the top-right. "Enter" this column.
Alternatively, wander around until you find the right column.

Court of Columns
----------------
Items: Golden Globe
Level: 8

When you reach this area, fight El Slug. They really have a foe named El Slug.
As you'd expect, he's a giant, two-tailed dog. Take him out (level up), and
then look at the column that light is shining on. Smash the ground, take the
Golden Globe (level up), and return to El Caracol (remember: south until you
hit the Well of Paradise and then west until you reach it: C6).

El Caracol
----------
Items: None
Level: 10

Once back in El Caracol, take the Silver Globe from the pedestal and replace it
with the Golden Globe, and then have Beth play the Golden Pipes. Leave and
return to the Court of Columns (F2).

Court of Columns
----------------
Items: Silver Head
Level: 10

Once here, repeat the process that you did last time -- examine the lit column
and smash the ground to find a Silver Head. Grab it, and leave. What good
does a silver head do? Maybe it'd work on something headless.

Return to the Castillo Pyramid by going down two screens and west one (E4).

Castillo Pyramid
----------------
Items: Small Flask, Large Flask, Incense
Level: 10

Once in here, go forward one screen to return to the treasure room. Put the
Silver Head on the headless statue to reveal a trap door. Go downstairs (a
diagonally down-right arrow below a diagonally left-down arrow; it's the far
right command in the go command) to find a treasure room. Start by taking the
Small and Large Flasks. Then look at the stone box to get a leather bag full
of Incense. Go upstairs (second-to-right command), and go back twice to leave
the pyramid. From here, you'll want to return to El Caracol: go two screens
west and two south (C6).

El Caracol
----------
Items: Crystal Key, Silver Senser
Level: 10

Once here, take your Golden Globe back, and switch to the guide Jose. Have him
push on the pedestal, and then ascend the stairs. You'll find yet another
pedestal here; it almost looks like the previous room. Put the Golden Globe on
the pedestal and use the wait command until light shines through the globe.
Take a look at the wall that is light up, and smash the wall. Take the Crystal
Key, and go backwards. Remove the Golden Globe, put the Golden Stand, and then
put the Golden Globe on top of the stand. Wait (use the command) until it
shines to the globe, and then have Beth use the Golden Pipes to make the Golden
Globe transparent. It'll light up one wall. Once again, look at and smash the
lit brick (it's pink!), take the Silver Senser (level up), take the Golden
Stand (it'll take the Golden Globe with it), and leave El Caracol (go down
twice).

Now to head for the Temple of Warriors. From El Caracol, head up four screens
and east two. You'll reach a large temple (E2; it's right next to the Court of
Columns). Enter it.

Temple of Warriors
------------------
Items: Sun Necklace
Level: 11

Once in here, take out the Cadaver (level up). He's a weird little orange
mantis-looking thing. Once he's dead, look at the room. Like the Nunnery,
there are three statues: a girl statue, a guy statue, and a Jaguar statue.
Take the Sun Necklace from the girl's hands (level up), and then try to grab
the Blue Jewel from the Jaguar's...eye. The statue will come alive! You can't
fight the Jaguar, so leave the Temple of Warriors.

Head to the Well of Paradise by going south four screens and east one (F6).
Enter the grey structure.

Well of Paradise
----------------
Items: Sun Necklace
Level: 13

Wash the Sun Necklace to learn how to tell time (apparently you gain two levels
for this too)! Woo!

Now return to the Temple of Warriors (go north for four screens and west one
screen: E2).

Temple of Warriors
------------------
Items: Iron Key, Blue Jewel
Level: 15

When you enter, use the wait command until the Sun Necklace is red. Exit and
re-enter the temple to find that the Jaguar is gone! That's nice. Look at the
space where the Jaguar statue was to find a hole. Use the Small Rod here to
retrieve an Iron Key. Go back. Now use wait until the Jaguar returns (usually
at white). Have Beth use the Golden Pipes to make the Jaguar stay still. Grab
the Blue Jewel from his eye (level up), and head out.

Now it's time to head to the Ball Court. To get there from the Temple of
Warriors, go west for one screen, south, and then west. You'll see stairs
leading diagonally up. Take these stairs, and then proceed to the other side
of this screen (B2), to find the entrance to the Ball Court.

Ball Court
----------
Items: Blue Block
Level: 16

You'll fight Hornskull here. Before you do anything, join the Blue Jewel and
the Sword. You'll even gain a level for it. Hornskull is a grey version of
the Cadaver. Take him out (level up), and then go forwards. Here you'll see a
pretty conspicuous blue block. I don't know why the Mayans used such blocks,
but here it is. Take the block, and then go backwards twice to exit the Ball
Court.

You can actually exit this entombment from the sides. Go out the left side,
and then head down two screens. Go east for one screen to reach the Tomb of
Hi-Priest (B4).

Tomb of Hi-Priest
-----------------
Items: None
Level: 18

This is a bit misleading. There is an item here, but it's not here. You'll
see. Go to the right to enter the secret passage with the coffin. Look at the
skeleton, move his skull, and use the Iron Key in the little keyhole behind
him. This moves the coffin and exposes a new area. Go downstairs. Now you're
in a maze. Every direction looks the same. Those crazy Mayans. Even crazier,
they devised a way to figure out this maze. Join the Shallow Bowl and the
Small Rod to create a crude compass. Use it (use the Shallow Bowl) to get
to...

Ball Court
----------
Items: Akbal Jewel, Stone Pawl
Level: 18

This is really weird. Somehow you've ended up in the Ball Court. Take the
Akbal Jewel from its stand, and then go left. You're in familiar territory.
Go backwards to get to the entrance. Before you leave, grab the Stone Pawl
from the machine in the left corner. This shuts the door that you came
through, but you need this Pawl.

Now we need to regress to the Castillo Pyramid. From the Ball Court, go south
one screen, east one screen, south one screen, and east two screens to get to
the Castillo Pyramid (E4).

Castillo Pyramid
----------------
Items: None
Level: 18

While there are no items, you use this to open the next area. Once inside the
pyramid, use the put command and select the Blue Block. This opens a secret
passage (like everything else in the game). Go downstairs to find a really
funky looking mechanism. Put the Stone Pawl in its place (it's nice that you
do not, technically, have to say what its place is), switch to the great Jose,
and have him move the stone handle (it's important that he moves this; nothing
else will react) (level up?). Beth will comment that she heard water flowing.
Go upstairs and out of the Castillo Pyramid.

Now we've got to head to the Well of Sacrifice (G2). This is where the
Professor died, so you've gotta be careful. From the Castillo Pyramid, go east
two screens and north two more. To enter it, walk onto the water outcropping
on the west side of the lake.

Well of Sacrifice
-----------------
Items: Two-Eyed Mask
Level: 19

Use the go downstairs command to enter the well (you'll have to do this twice
due to protests by Beth and by Jose). The evil Venum (a frog thing with a
cloak. The cloak is its height) will come out. You can't really damage it.
What you have to do first is to use the Akbal Jewel. This fights the evil.
Take out Venum, move the right statue, and enter the door. When you enter,
you'll see a coffin with a beam of light pouring onto it. Look at the coffin.
You'll see a zombie-looking thing in there. Use the Crystal Key to open the
coffin. Take the Two-Eyed Mask from the body (I would not do this. It's
enough that it just looks like a zombie) and go backwards to stop looking at
the coffin. You're trapped. In order to become untrapped, you have to use the
Gold Mirror, which opens an exit. Go forwards to leave the Well of Sacrifice
and end up in the basement of...

Castillo Pyramid
----------------
Items: None
Level: ??? (at this point, I cannot say what the levels are; I just know what
level you're at when you fight the next enemy since he's a ways away.
Presumably you're at level 20)

The point of this is to escape the Well of Sacrifice. Go upstairs, back, and
back again to leave the Castillo Pyramid.

Now we've gotta check on Beth and on Jose, so return to the Well of Sacrifice.
Note the change of music on the world map. How ominous.

To return to the Well of Sacrifice, go right two screens and up two screens.
As before, walk on the western water outcropping to enter the Well (G2).

Well of Sacrifice
-----------------
Items: None
Level: 20?

Look at Jose twice. He'll tell you that Beth got kidnapped. He thinks (he
never says how he knows this) that she is in the Ball Court. Unfortunately,
since you took the Stone Pawl, you can't get into the Ball Court. The only way
is through the secret passage in the Tomb of Hi-Priest. Let's head there. Go
backwards to leave the Well of Sacrifice, head south two screens, and then make
a grand expedition to the west until you reach the second pyramid (B4)...

Tomb of Hi-Priest
-----------------
Items: None
Level: 21

Once here, go right to enter the secret passage. Head down under the coffin to
that maze from earlier. Use the Shallow Bowl to get your bearings.

Ball Court
----------
Items: Ring of Itza, Sun Key
Level: 21

You start in the chamber of the Akbal Jewel. Go left to find yourself in the
main part of the Ball Court, behind the collapsed wall. Head forwards INTO THE
DARK DEPTHS OF THE BALL COURT. What a fearsome name. Anyway, apparently even
Aaron realizes in the next area that it's too dark to continue. You have to
find something here. Join the Red Jewel and the Two-Eyed Mask. Unfortunately,
the designers of this mask were lazier than those of the One-Eyed Mask, so we
have to also join the Blue Jewel and the Two-Eyed Mask. Use the Two-Eyed Mask
to see a white block. Push on this white block to open a passage. Make sure,
however, that you join the Blue Jewel and the Sword again before continuing.
Once you've done this, go into the left room.

You'll fight the fearsome Tezcat in here. This is a three-armed monster with
swords. If you are not level 21, you cannot defeat him. Just so you know; no
discouragement meant. While fighting him, it's funny to watch the Sun
Necklace. This fight can take a whole day!

Once Tezcat has been eliminated -- and presumably you get a level up -- use the
Large Flask. Before you can use it, though, Jose turns into a ridiculous
looking red demon WITH WINGS AND A WHITE SKULL named Scareface. He says that
he no longer needs you; his friends kidnapped Beth. He also mentions
Tentacula, like the Professor did. Crazy demon-transforming guides. Anyway,
Scareface is as hard as Tezcat. Use the Akbal Jewel before fighting him, and
you'll wear him out.

Once Jose has admitted defeat, you'll re-claim the Ring of Itza. Now for the
problem of that temple in front of you. As the tablets said, you have to wait
until night (the Sun Necklace will be black; use the wait command if
necessary). Once it's nighttime, use the Large Flask. You'll shrink. Just
what I always wanted. Now you can go forwards into the temple. The first
thing to notice is the funky blue background. The second would be that really
large key. These guys are good at hiding things from tiny people. First,
though, use the Silver Key to unlock the temple. Go backwards to leave it, use
the Small Flask to get back to your normal size (that key would not only be
heavy as a small person, but it would be harder to fit in your pocket than the
sword is), move the temple, and take the Sun Key. Yay. The room shakes.
Welcome to the final area.

Shrine of Tentacula
-------------------
Items: Beth
Level: 30

I don't know how you got to level 30 either.

Given the name, the first thing to do would be to fight Tentacula. He'll
appear, give his little spiel, and fight you. You need to use the Akbal Jewel
and the Ring of Itza before fighting him. Tentacula is this big orange guy in
a tiger-striped cloak and...um...is deformed. Since he is the final boss, he
takes quite a few hits, but he's nothing you can't handle.

Now we have the problem of reviving Beth. First you need to look at her (look
at the stand and then at her face) to get that emotion rising. Go backwards,
and prepare the ritual: put the Senser on the floor, put the Incense in the
Senser (on a side note: a senser, not to be confused with a sensor, is defined
by Webster's as "A vessel in which incense is burned, especially during
relgious ceremonies." And they say video games aren't educational), and use
the Lighter to set the Incense aflame. Beth wakes up! Yay! She tells you to
seal this place up permanently, with the small oversight that if the place is
locked up, there would not, technically, be an escape. Oh well; we're heroes.

Fortunately, Tentacula, who apparently has the sludge for brains that he has
for the rest of his body, had the foresight to make the self-destruct mechanism
for his Shrine the very artifact needed to enter it. Use the Sun Key in the
hole that Beth points to. The Shrine crumbles, and apparently, you travel back
in time to the time of the ancient Mayans, which is where the Professor went.
Er, apparently, the High Priest Professor went. Aaron and Beth are Mayan
heroes; congratulations! Once the credits roll, you can use different
directions to make Aaron's and Beth's faces do different things.

---------------------------------
| Button | Facial Movement |
|--------|------------------------|
| Up | Move Aaron's left eye |
| Down | Move Beth's right eye |
| Left | Move Aaron's right eye |
| Right | Move Beth's left eye |
| Select | Move Beth's mouth |

The final words of the game imply a sequel.

Before emailing me, please make sure that whatever question you have wasn't
addressed here in the guide. If it's not a question (i.e. input, suggestion,
correction, etc.), please go ahead and email me. I'm not too picky about
grammar, but if I have no idea what you're saying, I might ask for some
clarification. I'll take emails in Spanish or English. Doesn't matter to
me. No me importa.

I'd appreciate whatever you've got. Questions (again, as long as it's not
answered here), inputs about ideas that I've raised, suggestions or corrections
for the guide, requests for using parts of the guide, problems in life, jokes
(as bad as some of these are in the guide), praise emails (ha!), or whatever
else is on your mind.

Email: meowthnum1 [at] meowthnum1 [dot] com

I wasn't too bad about doing the spam thing at first. Now half of my emails
are virus emails. Just replace the [at] with @ and the [dot] with ..

You could also use AIM. I'd prefer these be quick questions, but I really
can't stop you from long, involved ones. To be honest, I prefer emails. AIM
is still here. That's TracesWritingAIM.

Also, PLEASE be clear about what guide you're talking about. It doesn't help
any of us to ask for help with level one or with "that area."
