This walkthrough has been created exclusively for GameFAQs.com. If you would
like to host this walkthrough on your site, then ask me through email so I can
decide for myself whether it may be posted on your website or not.

This is my first attempt at writing a walkthrough ever. I decided to write it
for the countless walkthroughs I've read on this site that have helped me get
the most from many games I've played over the past ten years. You can master
this game w/o an FAQ as long as you beware that Life elements are rare and
treat them as such. Also, talk to everybody in Noir everytime you visit.

If you have any information you would like to contribute to this walkthrough,
please email me with an appropriate subject title so I end up reading it. Your
contributions will be appropriately credited to you if used within this
walkthrough.

Version History
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Version 1.0: Basic path from beginning to end complete. List of items creatable
            through synthesis complete. General FAQ started. Still need to
            flesh out item locations with Wonder Grow, Yugdore Water, Fairy
            Tea, and Flay Hammer. Also need to write more information on
            Dragon's Den. I know I'm missing monsters, extractions, and basic
            items on some locations.

Version 1.2: Added information on the post-game Dragon Den trials. Refined
            information on FAQ section about making money (thanks to
            VeghEsther and Missy Sampson). Edited some simple typos and
            grammer errors. Planning to revisit every area for Wonder Grow,
            Yugdore Water, and Fairy Tea item locations in next update.

Version 1.5: Added information on items obtainable through mining, Wonder Grow,
            Yugdore Water, and Fairy Tea. Expanded the FAQ section for topics
            on Life Elements, party members, and missable things. Noted a
            possible error in my guide regarding the Weather Report key item.
            This will probably be my last big update for this game. The guide
            isn't perfect, but the rest of my updates will be small if
            existant.

where Max was being held for a chest with 450 Cole. Now leave the lighthouse.
Max will give you the Legin's Wing and you can begin learning secret factors.
The two new tutorials explain things. Continue heading out of the lighthouse.
After you're down from the tower, a dramatic scene ensues.

Fight the imperials. They're really easy. Just make sure to use Noin's Heal
Breeze when either of your guys are below half HP and you should be fine.
After one break attack I was able to hit three guys with Noin's force blast.
Some scenes follow and then you're back in the sewer. Use a return wing or exit
manually.

At this point in the game, it's possible to make some mad Cole buying Moon
Stones and Red Legiens, producing Roten Helms, then selling them for a 20 Cole
profit on each sale. I bought out all the items from Noir and Back Alley to do
this, then used all the money I made to purchase the Book of Infinia and
Geology at the Back Alley.

Key Item: Blacksmith 101(Flay Hammer), Hal Flower

Mana: Fragrance Mana Aroma [Flora Gem]

Items: 1 Yellow Mana, Glowing Mana

Back in Viese's atelier in Noir, with 10 Wonder Grows I was able to procure
Blacksmith 101 from Yach in a scene upon leaving the atelier. Make a Flay
Hammer then use Metal Elements to make many more. Yach will buy five for 800
cole. You can get moon stones in the Great Cave and use them to make even
more money using that money trick. Metal elements are also plentiful for more
hammers. I suggest keeping a full supply of wonder grow and flay hammers
whenever possible. Also, in the forest it's possible to wonder grow the Hal
Flower for that sidequest and get the Aroma Mana. Bringing this flower back to
Meile will yield 1 Yellow Mana. If you have Item Wish, it's possible to turn
wolf enemies into Star Pieces and complete the sidequest for Melona. She'll
give you a Glowing Mana for it. When you're ready, switch back to Felt.


Location: Tatalia Village

If you've been following the walkthrough, you should already have all the items

should be easy to win. Afterwards you'll get a new party member. Head all the
way back to the camp on the fourth screen. North of that is where you need to
go. Get the cotton and then use a return gem or exit manually.

Make 5 cotton cloths back at the atelier and then head back to Agito Cove for
more scenes. Exit the cove and head back to the West Coast highway. Make sure

on south to the next screen and a camp. Continue east and into the cave. Mine
for 6 Dem Ore if you wish. Then 4 Red Ore and leave the cave and follow the
long winding path to a chest with an Aroma Talisman in it. Backtrack all the
way to the split before the cave. Go up the stone steps and then east to mine
for 6 Red Legien, 5 Moon Stone, and 5 Ice Stone. At the end of the path is a
chest with 960 Cole in it. Backtrack and take the north exit to a new area with
a smoky background. Follow the path and then cross the bridge. Continue on and

Enter the church, and follow Eizlen. When the path splits, go west to find a
Gravity Stone then head back to the other path. Another chest on the way down
contains Healing Skills key item. Continue following the path and you'll end up
in an area that might look familiar to you if you've played Atelier Iris. Warp
and learn what you have to do to save Eden. Head back to the beginning, visit
the shop, and then talk to Eizlen. Leave and paths to Onuki Cave, The Wetlands,
and North Grand Plains open up. You can mine ores in Onuki, but the path is
still blocked off. Your next destination is The Wetlands.

Head back to the split and go north then west. Then head north and north again
at the next split to reach the workshop and a scene. The game will swith back
to Viese in Noir.

with Siren by now if you have not done so yet. Just be sure to talk to the
sound mana whenever you are in Noir and the events will unfold to get the mana.

Follow the path and then head north all the way up then west to get a chest
with 1 red mana in it. Backtrack and then head east into the temple for another
scene and then another mana. Leave for another scene and head back to Noir.

Another scene will occur in the workshop. Make the Glow Lamp and then head for
the building above Yach's shop. With the Glow Lamp you'll be able to
investigate the library. Pick up the Workshop Map from the library. That figure
on the wall of the library looks awfully familiar...

Head back to the workshop for more hilarity. Poe is quite the troublemaker. I
wonder what happens to him.

first path north for a chest with 810 Cole. Next head back to the first screen.
Head all the way west until you are where the punis are, then head north and
bomb the block. Head west from there for a chest with Paper Skills key item.
Now go east to hit camp because you're about to fight a Virum Zombie. This
sucker can hit for around 120 points of damage so be ready with the heal jars.
Aura Strike and Mega Fire work pretty well here. He can poison you so be
careful. Exit the cave.

Now head back to North Grand Plains to where the punis are. Give Puni Eagle the

head right for a Phoenix Quill. Cross the bridge east and continue east to the
camp. West from camp is a chest containing Glowing Mana. East and north of the

south, east, and south to get a Magic Pipe from another chest. Directly east of
camp a floating platform takes you south for 2 Shadow Stones. Take the
platforms east until you are on an island with four moving platforms for each
direction. From here, take the north platform. Cross the bridge west and open

the path west to another workshop. Take care of business and leave the place.
On the way back you'll get Tolena's Letter.


Key Item: Weather Report (Dark Lightening Cloud)*

Switch to Viese and talk to Yach for the Weather Report key item then leave

Location: Aquitto Spring

Extraction: Wood, Water, Poison, Illusion

Item: 2 Moon Stone, Blue Mana, 750 Cole, Dark Mana

Gather up all the treasures. It's straightforward at this point. The mana is
not there right now, so switch back to Felt.

Approach it and then after the scene head back to camp to wait.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Episode 11: The Blood of an Alchemist

Viese can get the Poison Mana from the Aquitto Spring so go there and speak
with the Poison Mana. You need to decipher the lithograph in Aquitto Spring
first. Return to the Temple of Eden and speak with Kreuz. Then go to Noir and

you need is in The Wetlands. Make sure to bring several Mega Flame with you.

There's another monolith here to read and plenty of ores to mine. A silver
chest in the area contains Lost Item key item. Further in the area you can get
a pact with Diemia for a Glow Lamp. Return to Noir and go into the Historical
Society to open the silver chest there for a key item Lumlia the Knight. Now

the path to Claire Village. Reenter the Mist Canyon and this time go north at
the split then west to the next screen. Continue following the path and

be another fight. Might be a way to win this but I got schooled. Story
continues and the next destination is the Dragon's Den. Leave the village and
paths to Lailzatt Cave, Spring of Nelvia, Mysterious Palace, and Dragon's Nest
open up.


Location: Spring of Nelvia

Enemies: Vulture, Falcon Hawk, Stone Golem

Key Item: Slaith Fashion (Silver Armor)

Item: Phoenix Quill, Dark Mana

Mining: Dragon Bone, Silver Legien

This place should look familiar if you've played Atelier Iris. Head up the path
and onto the mountain area. Cross the bridge east for a Hermes Chest with a key
item Slaith Fashion. Enter the cave and follow it through. Leave the cave and
head east. At the split go north for a Phoenix Quill then continue east. Enter
the lodge and get the Dark Mana. Hand the man 6 Phoenix Quills (they're easy to
find from the bird enemies in this area) and advance into the workshop. When
you're all set, exit the place.


Location: Dragon's Den

Item: 3 Dragon's Blood

Talk to the Dragon keeper and you can now do the battle arena. You'll fight a
series of five fights. The first four are easy, but the fifth one against the
Elder Virum could prove challenging. His Tera Flame hits the party for about
120 damage each. Win and get Gray's new skill and 3 Dragon's Blood.

I highly suggest doing all the trials here. My party gained 3 - 4 levels
fighting monsters here. And I got 2000 exp off a 15 hit combo on an Elder
Virum in the advanced trial. When you're done playing around, head to Lallzatt
Cave.

Follow the path up and head east at the intersection then south and around for
2 Graden Salt. Head north and then east at the next intersection. Follow the
path then go west when it splits and west again to reach a chest with a Dragon
Bone in it. Head south and then west at the next intersection and go all the
way west for 3 Nue. Head all the way north from there for key item Book of
Uroborus. Backtrack to where you found the Dragon Bone and head east until you
can head north. Do so, then take the split west to get to the next area. At the
first split here, go west then go north then go west. You can mine some Dragon
Bones here if you wish. Then head east and continue east past the path north.
The path will split three ways. Head south to mine some comet stones. The east
path leads to a Hermes Chest with a Fire Brand in it. Now take that north path
you skipped earlier to get to a camp. Save at the camp because I don't think I
need to tell you about what you'll be fighting next... His volcanic breath can
hit your whole paty for around 120 damage and lower your defense. Try to stay
over 160 HP and use Felt's level 3 extreme damage technique to wail on him.
You'll get a Divine Shield upon winning.

Leave the cave and head to Claire Village to speak with the elder and receive
2000 Cole.

the plant patch south of that are some dark element and Super Nue. The Hermes

scene.


Location: Imperial Camp

Items: 1 Green Mana, Ankh

Enter the tent north to get 1 Green Mana and a Hermes Chest with an Ankh in it.
You'll get to fight a boss here too. He's annoying since he has a timed skill
that raises his defense, speed, magic, and attack. It's quick and also adds
a little over 500 health each time it goes off. I used Felt's Raging Strike to
overpower this. His speed is ridiculous so just charge attack and heal to get
the skill bar to 3 asap. After awhile he'll go down.

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

Episode 14: For He Who Has Gone Off To Fight

Location: Eden

Key Item: Alchemic History (Grappling Hook), Viese's Recipe (Viese Charm)

Again pretty straightforward. There's also a monolith here to read. You can
find sound elements here too. A chest west of where you find Silwest contains
the Storm key item. She mentions the Hexi Glass being findable on the hill. I
had to exit and reenter to trigger the scene and get the Hexi Glass by the
first grappling hook location. Now return to the workshop and create the item.

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

Episode 15: Beacon of Revolution

scene, go north of Mitsue to find 1 Dark Mana. Exit out the north to reach the
South Grand Plains.

Enemies: Enchantress, Wolf Leader, Roc, Puni King, Puni Princess, Puni Knight,
        Puni Punist, Rogue, Hammerhead, Totemite, Red Puni, Lantern Jack,
        Heavy Metal, Sorceress, Shadowgirl

and back up to get the Hermes Chest with key item Cursed Man. Continue south
and follow the path west then north. Behind the crates is a Dragon Horn. Now
return to the last screen. This time head west to the next screen. Immediately
south is some Fresh Glowgrass if you Wondergrow. East of the exit is a chest
with Dragon Blood. Further west exit will open a path to East Regenbogen. For
now, reenter South Grand Plain and go back to the 4 way split and now take the
north path. A chest west of the entrance has 620 Cole. Exit north to reach
Alha Village.


Location: Alha Village

Key Item: Neko's Work 2 (Heal Bulb)

Talk to the people. On the northern hill is the key item Neko's Work 2. Head to

Extraction: Illusion, Air, Water

Items: Pure Water, Daza's Belt

Advance forward and head west at the first split. North is another monolith.
Keep heading west up the hill. At the sign head west (head east to get to
Zeyung) and down the hill. Hug the right for some barrels with Pure Water and
continue to go south for a Hermes Chest with Daza's Belt. Exit west to open up
the path to East Regenbogen. For now take the east exit of the map to open up
the path to Fort Zeyung.

and then head west into the first room for a chest with 1 Dark Mana. Exit the
room then head north and into the room to the west for some Foul Water (yummy,
these troops sure eat well!). Exit and follow the path north and then through
the door to the north. You'll see a scene, then head south and east into the
underground area. Grab the chest for a Dragon Bone. And keep following the path
to the two barrels with pure water. Head up into the next area and upstairs.
When the path splits head south past the door to your left (which leads to
where you have to go). And instead take the next door left for a Hermes Chest
with an Illusion Bracelet in it. Now go where you have to go and you'll hit a
camp with Pure Water and Goat Milk. Head upstairs for a fight. Concentrate on
one soldier at a time with your strongest attacks and skills. There shouldn't
be too much difficulty in this fight. You'll get a Blue Mana from winning and
a Visa key item to pass through East Regenbogen. Now head south from there for
a chest with key item Dragon Slayer Tales. Head for the area that was blocked
off due to the fighting earlier and head into the first room to the west for a
chest with 1 Yellow Mana. The next west room contains 3 Wax. Now go east to
meet with Max. Return to the entrance to fight another boss. It's pathetically
easy compared to the first time, trust me.

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

Now head out the east exit to find Fee. Your next desination is the Altena
Church. After that, head for East Regenbogen.

path to Zwital Village.  There's also another blockade to bomb to reach a chest
with key item Mystic Beast 2 in Dark Forest 2. If you'd like, you can also bomb
a path to Sealed Ruin from Holy Path at this time. You'll have to do it later
anyways. For now, head to Zwital Village.

Head as far east as possible and then south. You can get Triffid with the Fairy
Tea here. A bit west from here is a chest with a Dragon Shield in it. Head
south to the next screen and head east when you can to get 1 Yellow Mana. Keep
following the path and you'll reach a Hermes Chest with key item Military
Tactics. Head south of that chest and south again at the next split to grow
plants for Pearlberry. Keep following the path to leave and open up a path to
Dark Spring. Reenter and this time take the far exit to the southwest. A path
to Graveyard opens up.


Location: Graveyard

Enemies: Virum Zombie, Poisonous Fungo, Triffid, Phantom, Assassin Doll,
        Death Warrior, Totemite, Mana Cluster, Succubus, Enchantress,
        Death Gigas

      1 Green Mana, 1200 Cole

Follow the path and grab the Phoenix Quill. Head south and then east into
southern warp for a chest with a Lightening Brand in it. Then warp back out and
take the warp north for a chest with Green Mana. Leave and head back past the
southern warp to pick up the Lightening Stones and go to the last warp in this
area. When the path splits, go south then down the steps and enter the
warp. Grab the Hermes Chest for key item Slaith History. Return and take the
warp above that for a Hermes Chest with an Angel Feather in it. Now take the
warp directly on the other side for 3 Lightening Stones. Finally take the warp
down the steps from this one to advance. Go past the first path east to get to
a chest with 1200 Cole. Now return and take that path east to hit camp and
save.

Advance to fight the boss. He summons allies and can hit your party for
120 - 150 damage. He's also got a lot of HP. Have plenty of Refuel on hand.
After he summons, concentrate on getting the skill bar up by hitting the boss.
When you get the SP, use attacks that hit all enemies to take care of his
summons. It's possible to get a huge combo on him before he starts summoning. I
used Endless Blade to get 34 hits and came out of this fight with 15000 exp and
168 SP for my party. You'll get a Spirit Protect from winning and the Slaith
Crown. Return to Zwital Village for a scene and enter the Dark Spring.


Location: Dark Spring

Enemies: Frozard, Ice Puni

Key Item: Mana Power: Evil (Faustus Core), Pigeon Blood

Items: Lightening Stone, 3 Goat Milks

Mining: Moon Stone, Large Red Ore, Lightening Stone, Red Legien

Watch the scene and head up. Go west to gather some Lightening Stone among
other stones. Now go east and then south for a chest with pigeon blood. Head
north of here to reach the workshop. Do your thing and head back to take the
north path. Grab the three Goat Milks and get the Hermes Chest for key item
Mana Power: Evil. Now leave the cave for more scenes. Now switch to Viese and
Head to the new mana holy ground.


Location: Moon Tower

Extraction: Dark, Poison, Illusion

Key Item: Soul Book (Pendlelook)

Items: 1 Black Mana, Ankh

Mana: Dark Mana Plua [Dark Gem]

Again no enemies here. Just gather the treasures, read the lithograph, and head
to the mana. Head back to Noir, then head to Eden Temple and talk with Lutanis.
Head back to Plua and make the pact. Switch back to Felt and head for Tatalia
Village to see a scene. Then head for the Desert Ruins and go all the way to
the back where you faught those soldiers.


Location: Desert Ruins (New Area)

Enemies: Armadillo, Blaze Element, Frigid Element, Lantern Jack, Phantom

Items: Illusion Bracelet, Fire Brand, Desert Flower, 1 Yellow Mana, 1 Red Mana

Follow the path north for Red Mana. Go west to get a Hermes Chest with an
Illusion Bracelet. Go north from here and west until the split then head south
and east around past the opening to a chest with a Fire Brand. Enter the
opening for a Hermes Chest with a Desert Flower and another chest with a
Yellow Mana. Exit and backtrack to the split, but go north and you'll reach the
workshop. Now leave for a scene and then head for Altena Church and to Gardo.

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

Episode 18: The Important Family

Location: Eden

As Viese, make sure you have a Comet Gem then leave and head for the Crystal
Monumument.


Location: Crystal Monument

Extraction: Lightening, Wood, Life*

Items: Urob, Moon Stone, 1 Green Mana

Yugdore Water: Super Nue

Fairy Tea: Urob

Mana: Light Mana Eital [Light Gem]

Extract Lightening elements and gather Urob. Read the lithograph. Exchange
a Comet Gem for a pact with Eital. Now leave.

Key Item: Soul Genesis (Elixer)
         Alchemic Destiny (Ruby Prism)

Mana: Life Mana Aion [Life Gem]

Go to Eden Temple and speak with Kreuz then head back to the workshop for
a scene. Now go to the library at the Temple of Eden and enter the special area
to find Soul Genesis key item. You'll also get Alchemic Destiny key item. Head
back to the workshop. Enter Melona's shop and speak to Coco and Melona for some
hints. Then go to the Historical Society in town to make a pact with Aion.

Key Item: Shining Metal (Platiin)

Item: 3 Dore Water

Now head back to the Crystal Monument and go southwest to approach the Yugdore
tree. Nab the Life Elements on the way, but make sure you spend them first so
you don't cap it at 99! Life elements are extremely rare as far as I know and
these don't regenerate after they are extracted. Grapple up to a chest with
key item Shining Metal in it and another 50 Life Elements. Now head west and
grab Dore Water three times before heading back to the workshop.

Create the Elixer and watch the scene. Cool music plays and Iris says something
she probably didn't want Viese to hear... Head back into the Historical Society
where you made the pact with Aion for an interesting deduction. Now head for
Eden Temple and speak with Kreuz. Then go back to the workshop.

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

Episode 19: The Last Battle

Back as Felt, save the game and do any synthesizing or equipment manipulation
you need to. When you're all set, talk to Hagel.

Enemies: Imperial Soldier, Imperial Guard, Imperial Captain

You'll fight some troops on the way to the palace. Enter Reise Palace on the
world map.


Location: Reise Palace

Enemies: Imperial Footman, Relief Soldier, Imperial Support Soldier, Sorceress,
        Imperial Guard, General, Imperial Soldier, Imperial Commander,
        Enchantress, Imperial Archer, Necromancer

Extraction: Wood

Key Item: Fallen Book (Fog Box)

Items: Ale, Dragon Blood, 1 Dark Mana, Urob

Head north and then east to the area you had your tour and take the door that
the soldier blocked before for a scene. They need support so backtrack to the
entrance and go west this time. Follow the path up and enter the door east to
help out. Exit and skip the next two doors east (if you want ale, only skip the
next door east). Head into the room to speak with Bully and pick up Dragon
Blood. Now head back to the area that needed support on the other side, making
sure you speak with everybody on the way there. If they still need help, enter
all the rooms in the area for events. The courtyard will clear of enemies and
a camp area is there. Use it and go upstairs for a boss fight. The routine is
the same as last time except you're a lot more powerful now. After the fight,
head through the door north to find out you need more support. Now head west
and through the door above Galahad for support and 1 Dark Mana. Leave and head
west again and north through the door checking each room for help and treasure.
You'll find Urob and key item Fallen Book in a Hermes Chest. Now head back to
the area needing support and it should be cleared. The first door west has two
chests hidden behind the grey statues with 1050 Cole and 1 Green Mana. Proceed
through the second door. Time to backtrack again to the courtyard for more
help. Check the rooms again for help. Proceed to the third floor and save.

This boss is really annoying. He can curse, lower speed, and hit your party for
180 damage all with one attack. Make sure you have items to deal with curse or
prepare beforehand with equipment. After winning, simply chase Theodore out.

After everything is done, head for Altena Church (it's almost automatic). Looks
like somebody else found Grando... Save your game and prepare for a dramatic
one on one (I opened up with Divine Shield and Philosophic Ash). You probably
only really need Divine Shield. Show him who is boss. He should be easy by now.
Of course, he has to resort to dirty tricks. Game over.

Key Item: Iris' Notes (Mell Orb)

Item: Aroma Material

Just kidding! You'll be back as Viese now.

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

Episode 20: Retracing Your Steps

Get ready to waste some simple enemies... at level 1. Put some nice equipment
on Viese and travel to Tatalia entering each location on the way. Talk with
everyone in each location. Make some Mell orbs when you can and use them as you
travel to Altena Church. Watch the scenes then head to the Wetlands.


Location: The Wetlands (revisited)

Enemies: Baphy, Ice Puni, Frozard, Puni

Items: Ancient Ore

Just follow the path up by the workshop for a scene. Then collect the Ancient
Ore that falls. Synthesize a Mell Orb using Ancient Orb and use it on Felt.

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

Episode 21: The Sealed Orb

Head to South Lake Midgard and go east to take the boat to Eden. Head towards
the Temple of Eden and a lot of things happen.


Location: Riese Palace

Key Item: Book Alha (Megido's Key)

Back at Riese Palace, speak to everyone with information. Max will give you
key item Book Alha and tell to check out Alha Village for hints on how to beat
Chaos. Hagel will let you know that the dragon king has reappeared in Lallzatt
Cave. Theresa will let you know about a secret shop in Claire Village. Eizlen
lets you know about a library under the church sealed by the lock of Megido.
The Puni Liberation Squad lets you know about a store related to alchemy in
Sessier Forest. The animals tell you Urob is in Lake Midgard and Dunkelheit is
in the Dark Forest. That should be all so leave now.

Key Items: Elusmus Fragment, Ancient Skills (Reptile Egg)

You can probably do all these in any order, but I went to the Church first.
Check on Yuveria and pick up the Elusmus Fragment then head south to the
library. Learn of the Dark Island off of the South Grand Coast. Check the
lowest floor for key item Ancient Skills.

Item: Aroma Material

Now head to Alha Village. Learn the truth about the village and visit the
workshop. Pops tells you to visit his grandma on Mt Gelad near South Grand
Plain. You'll learn a bit about Chaos and then be prompted to head for Mt
Gelad. Tolena gives you an Aroma Material.

Key Item: Slaith Songs (Moon Drop), Y-017J Blueprints, Ares Liquid

Now go to Sessier Forest. The Megido chest contains key item Slaith Songs. Open
the Megido door to reach another workshop and obtain key item Y-017J
Blueprints. Now go back to Grando in Altena Church and get Ares Liquid from
Yuveria. The game will send you back to Riese Palace so leave and head for
Claire Village.


Location: Claire Village

Secret Shop: Heaven and Earth - 10050 Gold (Globe)
            Ankh - 4800 Gold
            Dragon Horn - 1500 Gold
            Dragon Blood - 1500 Gold
            Dragon Bone - 1800 Gold

Items: Dragon Shield, Dragon Tongue

Check out the shop for some nice items. Now it's time to go fight a dragon.
Head to Lallzatt Cave and fight the dragon. He's pathetically easy, but there's
a round 2. He's a lot harder, but if you keep your HP over 300 or so you
should be fine. If you equip gear to up your fire resistance, you'll be fine.
You will get a Dragon Tongue from winning. You'll be back at Riese Palace.
Create the Reptile Egg and leave the palace.

Key Item: Holy Script (Cueparts)

Items: 2 Spirit Protect, 1 Soul Shroud

Pick up all the Megido chests you had to skip by. The one in Reise Palace has a
Spirit Protect in it. West Regenbogen's chest also has a Spirit Protect in it.
Onuki Cave also has a chest with a Soul Shroud in it. South Lake Midgard has a
chest with key item Holy Script in it. That's all for the Megid chests. Now is
a good time to use a Pendulum to see if there is anything you've missed in any
location you have previously visted. When you're all set, head to Mt Gelad.


Location: Mt Gelad

Enemies: Stone Golem, Sentry, Firedillo, Assassin Doll, Murder Bot, Totem

Key Items: Mana Power: Life (Aion Core), Mirror of Twilight

Items: Glowgrass, Dark Mana, Diema Ankh

Mining: Lightening Stone, Large Red Ore, Silver Legien, Ore, Dem Ore, Shadow
       Stone, Moon Stone

Follow the path and grapple up to a path leading to a Glowgrass. Go back down
and then grapple up and go north to reach a cave. Grab the Dark Mana and Diema
Ankh from the chests then head west up another hook to a camp point. Head west
onto the next screen up the grapple point and east for a chest with key item
Mana Power: Life. Now head back down the grapple point, go west, and climb the
green vine up to reach the path to the peak. You'll watch a scene and get the
key item Mirror of Twilight. Climb down the vine and exit south to open a path
to South Grand Plains. Enter South Grand Plains and head south to speak to
Mitsue. Take her boat to open a path to Dark Island. Now that you've unlocked
those locations, your next destination is the Sealed Ruin.


Location: Sealed Ruin

Enemies: Sun Eagle, Mana Cluster, Assassin Doll, Elda, Mega Virum, Shadowgirl,
        Shadow Legion, Death Warrior, Frigid Element, Vorpal Sword, Legion,
        Necromancer, Virum Zombie, Evil Servant

Key Item: Illusional Vacation (Time Stone), Chaos' Diary (Verdure Doublet)

Items: 1 Glowing Mana, 1 Triffid, 1600 Cole, 1 Green Mana, 1 Red Mana

Head in the Sealed Ruin and go east at the first fork to get a chest with 1
Glowing Mana inside it. Head back and north to take a platform up. Grapple your
way west and grab a Triffid. Then go far north to the next screen, read the
lithograph then head north to the next screen. Up the steps to the west and
then south to a chest down there for 1600 Cole. Now go north to a grapple point
and go up it then take the first left for a Megido chest with key item
Illusional Vacation. Go back up then hook around north and west. Go all the way
down for a chest with 1 Green Mana in it. Now go north and onto the octagonal
platform to get a chest with 1 Red Mana on it. Now go all the way north, hit
camp, and then go north to fight 3 Evil Servants. Use Divine Shield on your
guys and make sure to keep you HP over 300 with healing items. When your SP bar
gets high enough, unload special attacks that hit all enemies and you should
eventually pull through with a victory. Advance into the next room. Kinda makes
you sympathize for Chaos, doesn't it? You'll receive key item Chaos' Diary and
some more emotional scenes will go by. Exit and you'll return to Riese Palace.
The only place left to go right now is the Dark Island, but first let's finish
exploring the South Grand Plains. You can also show the Chaos' Diary to Tolena
at this point for some scenes, but they aren't necessary and you don't get
anything for it.


Location: South Grand Plains

Enemies: Sand Dragon, Roc, Firedillo

Key Item: Book of Soil (Blood Clay)

Items: 4 Wax, Mushroom Armor

Mining: Ice Stone, Ore, Red Legien, Dem Ore, Shadow Stone

Enter the map and head east to get 4 Wax. Far to the west above Mitsue is a
Grappling Hook point. Grapple and get the Megid Chest for a key item Book of
Soil. On the wooden bridge east of Mitsue is the last chest with Mushroom Armor
in it. Now head to the Dark Island.


Location: Dark Island

Enemies: Puni Queen, Giant Puni, Mud Eater, Phantom, Succubus, Death Warrior,
        Shadow Legion, Bugbear

       Ore

Wonder Grow: Poison Element, Aroma Element, Wood Element, Water Element,
            Fresh Glowgrass

Fairy Tea: Aihie Fungo

Go west of the boat and north up the hill. Then grapple to a chest with 1200
cole in it. Go south and then west and north when you can to grapple to another
chest with 1 Yellow Mana in it. Go south again then west and north and west to
the wooded area. Proceed to a Phoenix Quill then go south for a chest with a
Dragon Bone. North of the Phoenix Quill is a chest with 1 Black Mana. Now exit
out the southwest side for a path to Vintavne.


Location: Vintavne

Enemies: Triffid, Fly Trapper, Murder Bot, Frigid Element, Legion,
        Mountain Pig, Senior Mountain Pig, Master Pig, Heavy Metal, Lilim,
        Bugbear, Elda, Nocturne Element, Mana Cluster, Flame Virum

Key Item: Pirate Bramus (Nauticaul Charts)

Item: Daza's Belt, 1 Dark Mana, Urob, Ares Liquid, Silver Water

Another place that should look very familiar to completests who have played
Atelier Iris! Follow the path and go east under the bushes then go north and
west through the warp. Follow this path to another warp. And this path to yet
another warp. Follow this to another warp and finally a camp. Now go south for
a Hermes Chest with Daza's Belt. Head back to camp then east and through the
warp. Take the floating platform east to a chest with 1 Dark Mana in it. Follow
the path and when it splits, keep heading west to open a chest for Urob. Go
back and north through the warp then follow the path. Go south when it splits
and nab the Megido chest for key item Pirate Bramus. Now take the east path at
the split and into the warp. Go west through another warp and west again.
You'll be at the workshop. You'll get Ares Liquid. Now leave and head for
Mysterious Palace. Make sure you save the game because there's a boss fight.


Location: Mysterious Palace

Key Item: Book of Marcus (Gurgu's Cane)

This boss didn't last long for me. I used Divine Shield on everybody, broke
him down and hit him for a max chain of 49 hits, 7710 damage. Didn't have to
heal or anything. After the fight you'll get the Book of Marcus key item.
You'll be back at Riese Palace. Now, create the Ruby Prism!

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

Episode 22: To The New World

Location: Eden

Key Item: Tik Tik (Super Uni)

Items: Speedster

Melona's Shop (New Items): Illusion Bracelet - 3200 Gold
                          Angel Feather - 3200 Gold

Yach's Shop (New Items): Fire Brand - 4000 Gold
                        Ice Brand - 4000 Gold
                        Lightening Brand - 4000 Gold

You'll be in Eden when this chapter starts. Enter Noir and Mitsue will give you
a Speedster. The Megido Chest in the workshop contains key item Tik Tik. I
revived everyone in Eden with the Destone Orb. Highlights are the new items in
Melona and Yach's Shops. To advance the story, destone Kreuz and he'll tell you
some more interesting things about Iris. "Insanely powerful" little girl, isn't
she? Talk to Lutanis and she'll tell you to cure everybody and she'll give you
some useful items from the library.

Key Item: Heavenly Sigh (Element Blaze)

At this point I went back to Dragon's Nest and completed the rest of the trials
for items and experience. Assuming you've destoned everybody, Lutanis will give
you key item Heavenly Sigh. If she holds out, you probably missed one of the
little guys in the Scarlet Temple. Gather any materials and elements you need
to complete your recipes. You can find Desert Flower in the Great Desert. Most
Globe items are found through the Item Wish skill. When you're all set, take
the Temple of Eden to the Temple of Creation.


Location: Temple of Creation

Enemies: Death Warrior, Death Gigas, Mega Virum, Nocturne Element, Lilim,
        Sentry, Darkwing, Cerberus, Hell Kitty, Sun Eagle, Mega Virum,
        Firedillo, Mud Eater, Necromancer, Virum Zombie, Succubus,
        Vorpal Sword, Master Puni, Giant Puni, Elda, Totemite, Legion,
        Triffid, Faux Puni, Murder Bot, Master Puni, Baal, Rhino Beast,
        Wild Cat, Mana Cluster, Mad Brownie, Enchantress, Evil Beast

Key Item: Church Tale (Rotor Ankh), Ellis (Cure Crystal)

Items: 1 Yellow Mana, Daza's Belt, 1 Green Mana, 1 Black Mana, 1 Green Mana,
      Aroma Material

Mining: Moon Stone, Red Ore, Gravity Stone, Dem Ore, Red Legien, Ice Stone,
       Dem Ore, Silver Legien

From camp head east for a chest with 1 Yellow Mana in it. Then take the path
north from camp past the east and west paths to the floating platform west
which leads to Daza's Belt. From there head north and north some more past the
next screen. Head west when you can and west again for a chest with a Green
Mana in it. To the far east is a chest with 1 Black Mana in it. Head back west
to find a camp point. Use it for some more story scenes. Head west and to the
next screen to receive key item Church Tale. Backtrack back to camp and go
north this time. When given the choice, head west up the hill for a Megido
chest with Speedster in it. Now head east for another camp point. North and
west is a path outside with another camp point (I know this is the final
dungeon, but aren't all these camp points a bit ridiculous?). Head northeast
to go outside and fight bosses (but not THE boss) although the sexy music might
lead you to believe so. Anyways, just Divine Shield and hammer away remembering
to heal every once in awhile. They aren't difficult but they have a lot of HP.
Take the warp up and go south to hit the last lithograph for key item Ellis.
West of here is a chest with 1 Green Mana. East of the lithograph behind the
big tree is a Megido Chest with Aroma Material. Now head west and then north
when you can. Hit the last camp and prepare for the final boss. Head north, and
that awesome tune plays.

I opened up by breaking him and getting a huge combo of crits. When he broke
out, I used a Power Shield. This guy hits HARD. If he's about to get a turn it
might be best to defend because he can take out your guys in one hit. Keep up
with healing and get in some strong attacks between. When your guys die, revive
them ASAP so you always have a full party. It will be tough, but you should be
able to take him down. Enjoy the ending! There's more afterwards. Make a bonus
save and new trials have opened up in the Dragon's Den.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragon's Den (Postgame)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most problems you may have fighting the monsters in these new trials can be
solved by synthesizing really nice reviews onto your weapons, accessories, and
alchemy items. At the very least you should try to get the Attack + 4 review on
all of your equipment. Also, a healthy amount of recovery items is highly
recommended before attempting the later legendary trials in the series.

Trial: Legendary Puni

Monsters: [Round 1] Puni Rider x 4
         [Round 2] Faux Puni x 5
         [Round 3] Puni Queen x 2, Puni, Super Puni
         [Round 4] Golden Puni x 5
         [Round 5] Puni Queen x 2, Emerald Puni (Boss), Super Puni

Prize: Dark Mana

The only way I've been able to really get through the Emerald Puni's incredible
defense and regenerative abilities is with Felt's Final Edge. I would just
charge attack with quick characters and use Felt's Final Edge when his turn
comes around to win. It took me awhile, but it eventually went down.


Trial: Legendary Hell Beast

Monsters: [Round 1] Stonehead, Hammerhead x 2
         [Round 2] Cerberus, Sr. Mountain Pig x 2, Roc
         [Round 3] Firedillo x 2, Supreme Wolf, Sun Eagle
         [Round 4] Rhino Beast, Supreme Wold x 3
         [Round 5] Supreme Wolf x 4, Hell Slayer (Boss)

Prize: Black Mana

Hell Slayer has a lot of HP, but it's nothing that Final Edge can't break
through. Just make sure to have your quick characters charge attack to build up
the SP gauge so that Felt can use it when his turn comes around.


Trial: Legendary Spirits

Monsters: [Round 1] Flame Virum, Blaze Element x 2
         [Round 2] Rhino Beast, Shock Element x 2
         [Round 3] Sun Eagle, Frigid Element x 2
         [Round 4] Necro Hydra, Nocturne Element x 3
         [Round 5] Dark Princess, Light Princess (Boss)

Prize: Glowing Mana

This was really annoying for me. I just switched in Viese, Poe, and Felt so I
could hurt the princesses with their charge attacks. The Dark Princess alone
can take a member's HP down really quick so make sure you keep HP up. Also,
it's possible to put the Dark Princess to sleep which can make the battle
easier.


Trial: Legendary Fallen Angel

Monsters: [Round 1] Darkwing x 3
         [Round 2] Shadowgirl x 2, Lilim, Totemite x 2
         [Round 3] Necromancer x 2, Succubus x 2, Death Knight
         [Round 4] Baal, Lilim x 3
         [Round 5] Darkwing x 2, Snowmaiden (Boss)

Prize: Red Mana

Snowmaiden seems to be one of the easier bosses in the Legendary class fights.
If you were strong enough to get here you won't have problems in this fight.


Trial: Legendary Royalty

Monsters: [Round 1] Supreme Wolf x 2, Triffid x 2, Fungo King
         [Round 2] Totem, Totemite x 2, Fungo King ***
         [Round 3] Poisonous Fungo x 2, Parafungo x 2, Fungo King
         [Round 4] Fungo King x 3
         [Round 5] Fungo King x 2, Mushroom Prince

Prize: Yellow Mana

There's a really nice trick to this fight. Just use a Dark Water on the
Mushroom Prince to curse/poison him and pound on him until he dies. Without at
least curse, he'll start regenerating all his HP at the beginning of his turns.


Trial: Legendary Demons

Monsters: [Round 1] Legion x 2, Shadow Legion
         [Round 2] Baal, Lilim x 2, Death Knight
         [Round 3] Shadow Legion x 2, Baal
         [Round 4] Flame Virum, Baal
         [Round 5] Baal x 2, Hell Legion (Boss)

Prize: Green Mana

Hell Legion looks scary, but is really nothing to worry about. Break him and
rack up a huge combo for extra experience and SP if you still need it.


Trial: Legendary Immortals

Monsters: [Round 1] Virum Zombie x 2, Phantom x 2
         [Round 2] Necro Hydra, Sun Eagle
         [Round 3] Succubus x 2, Necromancer, Death Warrior
         [Round 4] Death Knight x 2, Necromancer, Necro Hydra
         [Round 5] Night Aroma x 2, Shade (Boss)

Prize: Blue Mana


Shade is invulnerable to physical attacks so I used Poe and Viese with Felt to
take it down. First take out its allies and then concentrate on Shade. It has
an attack that can deal upwards of 300 damage to your party so keep your HP up.
It's also pretty hard to break and quite quick too.


Trial: Legendary Dark Dragon

Monsters: [Round 1] Uni Virum, Mega Virum x 2
         [Round 2] Flame Virum, Frozard x 2
         [Round 3] Virum Zombie x 2, Necro Hydra
         [Round 4] Flame Virum x 2, Necro Hydra
         [Round 5] Flame Virum x 2, Dragonia (Boss)

Prize: Dark Mana

Dragonia is more like a Flame Virum with a ton of HP than another boss. Really
nothing to worry about if you were good enough to make it to the trial.


Trial: Legendary Dark Clan

Monsters: [Round 1] Charon x 2, Lilim, Shadow Legion
         [Round 2] Vorpal Sword x 2, Death Knight
         [Round 3] Elda, Book Eater x 2, Enchantress x 2
         [Round 4] Death Knight x 2, Necromancer x 2, Wild Cat
         [Round 5] Mahou Shoujo x 2, Underground Queen

Prize: Black Mana

This boss fight is actually really annoying. The boss is fast and can steal
200 - 400 HP with her Hot Kiss (rawwrr). The Mahou Shoujo can be deadly too
with their attacks. First focus on taking out both of the Mahou Shoujo. Then
it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with the Underground Queen as long as you
keep an eye on your HP.


Trial: Legendary Weapons

Monsters: [Round 1] Quetzacoatl
         [Round 2] Elekicoatl
         [Round 3] Skycoatl
         [Round 4] Suncoatl
         [Round 5] Amalgam

Prize: Glowing Mana

Amalgam is a doozy, but he's vulnerable to sleep. His attacks will decimate
your party, but he can be broken afterwards if you have a turn coming soon
after him. If you manage to sleep him, take the time to recover your party back
to full strength before continuing to hammer on him. If anybody dies, revive
them as soon as possible. This is actually a good boss fight before the
Ultimate Hammer Braves trial...


Trial: Ultimate Hammer Braves

Monsters: [Round 1] Mad Brownie x 3, Puni Rider x 2
         [Round 2] Puni Rider x 3
         [Round 3] Sentry x 2
         [Round 4] Puni Rider x 2, Blaze Element
         [Round 5] Instant Brownie x 3

Prize: Red Mana x 3

The Blaze Element in round 4 has high atk and tons of HP, but shouldn't provide
for more than a longer battle than usual. One Instant Brownie can take out one
character in one hit and there are three of them. Try to focus on one at a time
and use your faster characters like Noin and Fee in order to keep up. Revive
party members as soon as they die. It is possible to put them to sleep, and if
they finish a super attack, they are vulnerable to being broken so take the
opportunity. It will be a long and fierce battle. Now is the time to use those
Cure Crystals. If you pull through then you definitely have a battle party to
be proud of.

FAQ
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How can I afford those expensive key items in Riesevelt my first visit?

There might be a better way to do this, but I bought the components to a Roten
Helm. Then I mass produced and sold them. After I exhausted the stores, I had
enough for both of the items there. Moon Stone and Red Legien cost 100, but the
helm sells for 120 so there's a 20% gain on your investment. And if you're
wondering whether it's worth it, the alchemy items you can create have secret
skills for gaining 10% extra experience and knockback. The ingredients are also
available far before your next visit to Riesevelt.


Where can I find Dragon Meat?

Dragon Meat is dropped by enemies in the last dungeon of the game. I forgot
exactly what dropped the one I got.


Can I miss anything that would permanently keep me from getting everything in
the course of the game?

Aquitto Spring disappears, but the Lithograph that is there is read as a
requirement to the story. The items you find there can be bought later in the
game, but if you want it to read as complete on your Pendulum, make sure you
get everything there before the later chapters of the game. Also, I've been
readin that the Sound and Aroma Manas are missable but I haven't personally
verified this information. If you regularly talk to everybody in Eden then you
will not miss these mana.

Where can I find new things after I get this new key, bomb, grappling hook,
etc?

Use the Pendulum mana item and it will answer all these questions.


Where are all of the Lithographs and why should I bother reading them?

You will get an incredibly useful healing mana item that takes care of your
status and completely recovers your hit points. The lithographs are in the
following locations:

West Coast Highway, Forest of Ocean Mist, Aquitto Spring (part of story),
Great Desert, Marmel Forest, Sealed Ruin, Weathervane Hill, Scarlet Temple,
Great Cave, Moon Tower, Crystal Monument, Eden Temple underground, South Lake
Midgard, Temple of Creation(read this one last)

You'll know if you've found them all when you approach the one in the Temple of
Creation.


Are there any items I should hold onto rather than synthesize?

All the super rare items are used for the story. Every other item can be
bought, found, or won from fighting monsters. Even mana stones can be bought
later on.


Which party members are the best to use?

Use whoever you have the most fun using. In the late game, a certain skill
definitely puts Fee and Noin ahead of the rest of the party members in terms
of speed and you'll probably want to use them throughout the post-game arena.
They are great for racking up huge combos and boosting experience/skill points.


Where can I extract Life Elements?

Life Elements are rare throughout the game and should be used almost
exclusively on a necessary basis. However you can extract 50 Life Elements from
Super Puni (They're in the arena post-game and probably in a few other
locations). Thanks to Fate Fate for emailing me this information so I could
verify it.


How can I make LOTs of money?

I don't know yet, but experiment with selling items you can create through
alchemy and there's probably something you can make a killing off of with a
proper investment of time. When you can buy mana, use all this money to produce
cores to raise your stats to ridiculous levels! I got some emails with the
following information on good ways to make money at different points in the
game:

From Missy Sampson: Before you get Viese to fight and after you can make Flay
Hammer, get Viese to enter the Great Cave, get her to mine the first Stone at
the beginning to get Moon Stone then leave then enter it again, continue to
mine it until you can't mine it any more. Then go switch with Felt have him at
Tatalia Village exit camp go left and mine the red stone that gives you Red
Legien, then run back to the camp enter and then exit and mine the stone again.
Do this until you can't mind it anymore. When your done Switch to Viese then
create as many Roten helm as you can. Then sell them, they sell 120 each. I get
around 1000 or so just less then 2 min. Of course you can start with Felt then
Viese but it is the same process.

From VeghEsther: Late game the best way to make money is to kill the Fungus
King monster the one you can never kill on the 1st visit to Sessier Forest. At
this part of the game (around the time the final dungeon is accessible) you can
easily beat them. 1500 cole per battle. At least 1 legendary ranking battle at
the Dragons Next arena has tons of Fungus Kings to fight at the same time for
3000 - 4500 cole per battle. Must beat games final boss to access the Legendary
Ranking.

I tested these and they work out pretty well. The Legendary Royalty Trial not
only has numerous Fungo Kings but also provides experience for your troubles so
it's definitely a great way to make money after you've completed the main game.


What is Item Wish all about?

With Item Wish you can get some unique items you may need for your recipes or
sidequest things like Melona's shop. Melona specifically asks for a Rainbow
Disc and a Star Piece. This isn't a complete list, but here are the items and
some enemies you can get them from:

Groovecube - obtained from Puni, Banshee, Archer, Ice Puni, and Roc

Star Piece - obtained from Wolf, Fungo, and Hammerhead

Piko Hammer - obtained from Brownie, Master Pig, Master Puni

Globeball - obtained from Armadillo, Caterpillar, Wood Golem, Stone Golem, and
           Totem

Violet Fungus - obtained from Heavy Metal

Rainbow Disc - obtained from Harpy

Gogo Suit - obtained from Baphy

Your chances of getting items when you use Item wish seem to be related to
level and/or magic power. I still need to experiment with this some more but
the HP remaining on a monster might also influence the rate of success. These
items are great to start synthesizing some nice reviews onto your equipment.
