Introduction
=============================================================================
Wild Arms 3 was the first Wild Arms game to appear for PlayStation 2, and
the crew made a lot of work to it. Wild Arms remained true to the basics of
the series, but took full advantage of the possibilities of the PS2. Too
bad the cel shading graphics were not commonly accepted by the fans (I
quote "What the cell is going on?"), well I liked those.
The Wild Arms crew is at least a crew who listens to the fans. Was Wild
Arms 2 a bit crappy on the scenario, Wild Arms 3 made improvements, still
not the best scenario, but more acceptable. Wild Arms 2 had a party of 6 of
which you had to choose which 3 to use, which didn't work, people basically
only used either "Ashley-Brad-Lilka" or "Ashley-Kanon-Lilka" and never
switched. And thus, in Wild Arms 3, you have one big party of 4 and that
never changes throughout the game.
The FP system was carried over, which means you don't have to pay mana to
cast spells, you must have a certain ammount of FP. You start with as many
FP as your level is, you build up FP by by attacking or being attacked, you
don't pay FP for casting spells, but you do for using Force Abilities.
The force system has been reduced from WA1 and WA2 where you had 4 force
abilities. In Wild Arms 3 all characters only got one unique force ability,
taking up 25 FP to perform. They got gatling in which they fire up their
gun and FP. And you can summon guardians which use up all your FP and the
more FP you have the more powerful the guardian's spell will be. Summoning
costs also MTC and the more you summon the more MTC your characters will
receive.
The gear system has been removed. So you won't get new gear to equip your
characters with. In stead you can equip guardians. Each character can equip
up to three guardians. In my character discription I'll tell you which
guardians to equip on whom in order to use this FAQ correctly. You can try
other setups, but this FAQ won't go about it, and some setups can make
certain strategies impossible. Of course, in some battles a diffrent
guardian setup has to be used, but when that's the case I'll explicitly
note it!
The guardians allow you to summon a guardian (duh), but they also grand 4
magic spells each called "Arcana".
Each guardian also gives you personal skills. These skills costs SP and the
number of SP is always as high as your level. You can freely set and remove
skills to your liking at any time of the game. You can gain additional
skills by attaching an item to a guardian. You can then spend PS into that
extra skills in the same manner as the guardian's initial skills. One
warning, when you remove that item from a guardian the item will be
destroyed, so be careful on how you set your items.
Personal skills are also known as "passive abilities" and whenever they
activate in battle you'll gain 0.1 experience multiplier points. For
example: if Virginia gets 4x attacked with a poison spell, but she has a
skill protecting her against it, the skill has activated 4 times to protect
her, and thus she'll get 1.4x experience. This system is capped on 9.9x and
some enemies easily get you that far.
Now a bit of help on how I write my FAQs. All dungeons and cities in WA3
are divided in rooms and all of them have a number. I start each room with
the given number. If you have the item "Tracker" the numbers will become
visible on your screen. After that I'll use the "=" to summ up what you
have to do. Like this:
01: = Go North
= exit East
02: = Exit North
05: = VIRGINIA: Pick up the key
= exit south
02: = exit east
and so on. When I say "exit" you leave the room in the given direction to
enter the next room. When I start a line with a character's name it means
that only that specific character can perform that action, so using any
other won't work. This is mostly the case due to the tool system.
In some dungeons (some disappearing dungeons) I could not retrieve the room
number than I'll mark it like this
- = Go North
= exit East
- = Exit North
- = VIRGINIA: Pick up the key
= exit south
- = exit east
I tried to make this FAQ that way that if you only want to use it to get
past area you're stuck at, so I got a large index containing all dungeons
cities, I listed the sidequests separately, and all bosses are also
indexed.
If you want to use my FAQ from start till finish, fine with me, in order to
make that possible I'll make a note of it in this FAQ when certain
sidequests become available, please note that such moment are not always
the wisest to take them on, as your levels do count here and sometimes a
few other recommendations.
I also want to note that the game only has savespots in cities (looking
like funny little men with a Mexican hat and all named after dwarves from
"The Hobbit" a book by Tolkien). Dungeons do NOT have savespots... never
ever.... Okay, only a few exceptions, but overall none. In stead you can
use your gimel coins to save in dungeons. I got to note, only do that when
you are really unsure, even though you score these coins easily you can run
out when you save too much. You cannot save in dungeons you cannot leave
without meeting a boss.
Gimel coins can also be used when you lose a battle. Using one in that case
will reset the battle so you can try it again.
You will notice at at the start of every dungeon, city or boss fight I list
all characters with levels. They are the levels I had when I took it all on
for this FAQ. They are by no way recommendations, but when you are not sure
if it's save to take stuff on, you may want to try to be at least my level.
The maximum level is 100, and that level is very easy to achieve.
And that sets things right, I suppose.
CHR00000001
=============================================================================
Virigina Maxwell
=============================================================================
Virginia Maxwell is the main protagonist of the game. When the four main
characters form a group at the start of the game, she is picked to be their
leader. The leadership is not easy, as Virginia is young and inexperienced,
and she'll soon learn that the life of a drifter is not as beautiful as she
always imagined it to be. However she's a quick learner and matures quickly
throughout the game and her setbacks make her stronger. Virginia is often
seen as the bad protagonist due to her naive behavior, but maybe it's
because I'm older than most fans, but I personally think that Viriginia is
actually a protagonist as a "real one" would be. You'll have to learn to
love her. :)
In battle Virginia is the fastest character, and combined with the fact
that her unique ability happens to be "Mystic" (that move is famous in the
series) she's a very important character and can get you out of many messy
situations. A major setback is the fact that she's the weakest in both
offense and defense. She has, however a fair hand when it comes to magic,
but she's not as strong a Gallows when it comes to this.
Unique Force Ability: Mystic
Viriginia can use it on almost any consumable to spread the effect of it
over an entire group in stead of one target. This works on as well
offensive items and healing items.
She can also draw powers from equippable items (on which I mean, items you
can attach to guardians) which won't get used up this way.
Viriginia's Tools:
- Thindercrest
= Viriginia throws out a crest and whenever it hits something inflamable
it will burn. Handy to light torches or burn things when needed.
- Gale Crest
= Virginia will warp through the room and can cross some traps and even
narrow pits this way.
= Virginia won't stop until she hits a wall or falls into a wider pit
- Change Crest
= It will turn VIT crystals into orange transparent blocks or vice versa
= When used on a ENC crystal Virginia will instantly teleport to the
crystals positions. This can be used to move over big pits or to move
through nets.
=============================================================================
CHR00000002
=============================================================================
Clive Winslett
=============================================================================
Clive is a professional drifter making a living by visiting towns and
performing tasks for them. He takes pride in getting a job done without any
compromises. Clive is a historian who researches the decay of Filgaia,
which he used to do with his father-in-law, but he continued the search
alone after the old man passed away. He acts as the mature guy who has to
keep Viriginia on the right track, teaching her the ways of a drifter, but
truth is that he's pretty insecure, and though he hides it pretty well, on
some moments his insecurity is exposed.
In battle Clive is your powerhouse. He's slower than the others, but his
physical attacks makes it all up for it. His gun has the least amount of
ammo, but that problem is easily solved. On magic he's very weak, so I
suppose you won't be using him much on that part.
Unique Force Ability: Lock On
= Accuracy in a attack (with ARM, not melee) is raised to 100%, and Clive
will deal 1.5x damage
Clive's Tools:
- Bombs
= A famous tool. Place a bomb and a few seconds later it will explode
destroying weak walls or objects
- Might Gloves
= Allows Clive to lift or push heavy blocks
- Grappling Hook
= This tool does NOT work the same as in other WA games!!!!
= Shoot a hook in the air and when it hits something to hook on it will
pull Clive up. Handy to reach spots otherwise out of reach.
CHR00000003
=============================================================================
Jet Enduro
=============================================================================
A drifter who claims he has no memories and he can't stress enough he
doesn't care about anything, especially not about Viriginia's childish way
of thinking, who prefers to walk alone and blah blah blah. He acts very
anti-social and rude all the time, and he appears to enjoy Virginia getting
upset about it. But truth is that he's much softer than that, and sooner or
later you'll discover what kind of guy he really is.
Jet is very average. He doesn't suck in anything, but he doesn't excel in
anything either, and basically it makes me wonder how to use him best. The
fact that he can use "Accelerator" makes him handy in cases of emergency.
Unique Force Ability: Accelerator
When used Jet moves faster than anyone, no matter how quick his friends or
foes are and can perform any action (except an other force ability). This
move is particulary handy in tough situations.
Jet's Tools
- Boomerang
= Jet throws a boomerang which can be used to activate targets. When it
hits the wall it will fall down hitting targets below. With the
directional keys you can steer the boomerang a little, allowing you to
hit the otherwise impossible targets.
- Radar
= Scans the rooms and marks all treasures in the room.
- Jump Shoes
= Jump! Jump! Jump!
CHR00000004
=============================================================================
Gallows Caradine
=============================================================================
A carefree kindof guy, Gallows tries everything to escape his duties as a
Guardian Priest. His education was most of all skipping class or falling
asleep during class, and he wanders the world looking for beer, girls and
fun. Behind his carefree shell, we'll find a very senstive man, who's very
protective over his younger brother, Shane. When it comes to the Guardians
he's supposed to be serving he's caring more about them then he wants
people to believe. When people do things that go beyond his sense of
justice he jumps directly onto the barricade and is hard to control. He's
more reliable than he ever imagined himself to be.
In combat Gallows is very weak, but he's pretty quick, and he's the best
magic user of the group and therefore also your first choice for the water
guardian providing him healing spells. Healing, damage, anything magic is
strongest when performed by Gallows and his Extention force makes things
even better.
Unique Force Ability: Extention
Normally spells can only be used on one target. Extention allows you to use
a spell on an entire group. Very handy in sticky situations.
Gallows' tools:
- Freeze Doll
= Freeze stuff and put out fires
- Steady Doll
= Reach faraway places (a combination of Hanpan from WA1 and Pooka from
WA2)
- Kramer Doll
= Instant encounter
= When used near a seal, the boss inside will break out igniting a boss
fight.

=============================================================================
NPC characters
=============================================================================
Good guys:
- Halle
= Gallows' grandmother. A very knowlegable old woman and she'll help
Virginia in and her team throughout the entire game
- Shane
= Gallows' younger brother (yes, he's a boy even though he looks like a
girl). He's a very bright pupil of Halle's and apears to be a pillar,
meaning he's very gifted in the power of the guardians. He has dreams
about the "blue manace" whatever that's supposed to mean.
- Tesla
= Viriginia's uncle. He took care for Viriginia after both her father
disappeared and her mother passed away. He cares a lot for "his little
girl", and is not happy about her ambition to become a drifter. Still
he allows her to follow her dreams,
- Catherine
= Clive's wife. A very pretty, yet caretaking woman
- Kaitlyn
= Clive's daugher. A cute and sweet little girl, but she can't stand
celery.
- Werner Maxwell
= Viriginia's father. He disappeared about ten years ago without leaving
a trace. He was a scientist and he taught Viriginia how to use an ARM.
= He's believed to be dead, but wether that be true or not, he's part of
a history which is very important.
- Maya Schrodinger
= Viriginia's rival.
= Maya doesn't skip any oppertunity to scold Virginia for her naivity and
does everything to make Virginia stop being a drifter, and she does
that in a very rude and uncooth way.
= Truth is that she secretly cares for Viriginia and simply fears she'll
get hurt.
- Alfred Shrodinger
= Maya's younger brother.
= Alfred is a very timid, yet social boy. He sees right through his
sister's rude guise and takes her for what she really is.
= He's very smart, knows a lot about technology and is a master with
explosives
- Todd Dukakis
= Maya's bulter. He's a man of honor and will follow Maya and Alfred
wherever they go.
- Shady Thousand
= A small dragonlike cat creature. Little is known about him aside from
him being out for fun, and being alittle claustrophic.
Bad Guys:
- Janus Cascade
= A profesional drifter who acts pretty sexist towards Viriginia, and
tries to exploit her inexperience. His motivations are unknown, but for
certain is that he's up to no good.
= Janus is like the evil twin of Ashley Winchester (main protagonist in
Wild Arms 2). Both characters use a bayonet and Janus special moves
mimic Ashley's.
- Romero & Dario
= Two morons following Janus around. They are silly, they are dumb and
they are pathetic. Every time you meet them something silly is certain
to happen.
- Asgard
= A golem serving the Prophets. He learns through collecting data from
the battles he's in.
- Leehalt (Japanese name: Richard)
= Leader of the Prophets. He appears very knowlegable about programming
and ancient technology.
- Melody (Japanese name: Milady)
= The only female member of the prophets. She's obsessed about being
beautiful, and she desperately hates Clive Winslett.
- Malik
= A very odd member of the prophets. He gives the impression not to take
life seriously, acts as a joker.
= He appears to be working on secret experiements, but it's unknown for
what purpose.

PROLOGUE
In the prologue you'll have to play a solomission with all characters one
by one, the order doesn't matter, but for this FAQ I'll do Viriginia, Jet,
Gallows, Clive, but it's completely up to you.
Once you did them all, the party will immediately unite, you get one boss
to fight and there the prologue ends.

Viriginia's Prologue
Dungeon: Gob's Hideout
=============================================================================
My level: Virginia Lv 1
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Gob
Boss:
= HobGob Boss
=============================================================================
New Tool:
= Thindercrest (Viriginia)
=============================================================================
Overview:
This dungeon is not hard to understand. The only enemy you can find here
are Gobs, and they are pretty cowardish, and will waste a lot of turns
discussing who should actually hit you.
=============================================================================
013: = South
= Hit the switch
= Exit West
011: = You will get an encounter of two gobs. Just defeat them,
they're easy.
= Up the stairs
= Exit North
012: = OPTIONAL: Destroy all crates (pick them up and throw them
away) and you may find some nice healing items
= Remove the crate before the treasure chest.
= Open it
=============================================================================
NEW TOOL: Thindercrest
Viriginia will throw a red crest into the direction she's
currently facing which will keep on going until it's stopped by
a wall or something.Anything on the way of this crest that's
inflameble will burn. You can also use this tool to light
braziers/torches.
=============================================================================
= Exit South
011: = Use the thindercrest to light the soutern torch (to the west)
= Exit West
010: Forget about the treasure chest to the south. There's no way to
reach it from here.
= Go North
= Exit West
008: This room has a weak floor. When you walk or run over it you'll
fall through it (resetting the room)
Hold down the cancel button, (which is O by
default), and make your way west without releasing that button.
Once you made it to the west side, exit west.
008: Follow the corridor and exit east at the end
003: = OPTIONAL: Both doors to the north can be opened by using the
Thindercrest on the torch south of them. They both lead to
treasure, nothing more.
= In this room, make your way East
= Exit East
005: = Down the stairs
= OPTIONAL: The switch opens the north door which leads to
treasure
= Exit west at the bottom of the stairs
003: = Go to the wheel next to the door north
= Grab the wheel ( X by default) and turn the left
analog stick around until the door opens.
= Exit North
004: = OPTIONAL: Open the chests for several treasures
= Open the chest North-East (after removing the crates blocking
it, of course) to find a Duplicator, and the "Right Half"
And now I'm gonna be rude, but I did have a guy in the past
e-mailing me like crazy (it was getting close to spamming me)
how to find this item as he claimed he didn't have it on the
moment in the game you need this thing. Point is, as you need
that duplicator that comes with this item to exit this dungeon,
IT'S ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS THIS ITEM UNLESS YOU'VE BEEN
CHEATING OR EXPLOITING BUGS NOT KNOWN TO ANYBODY.
Cut short, mail me about how to get the "Right Half" and I'll
ban you from mailing me. I love helping people, but mailing me
problems that are impossible (which I told him countless times
btw) is a waste of my time (and yours).
= Exit South
003: = Go South
= Use the duplicator to open the south door (this is the only
door locked with a duplicator that you MUST open to complete
the game. All others lead to optional rooms only).
= Exit South
002: Go South, exit South
001: Move south until you find the first boss
BOS00000001

| HobGob Boss
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My level: Virginia Lv 1
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Tackle
= Normal attack (10+ damage)
=============================================================================
This battle is only a tutorial. HobGob Boss has unlimmited HP, only the
force ability "Gatling" will kill him instantly.
Gatling is a force ability all four playable characters have, and it will
fire all your bullets, in combination with using up all your FP. Well, that
doesn't explain it well, not right at all. Oh, what the heck, you'll learn
the way it works throughout the game.
Point is your FP is not yet sufficient to do this. Just fire away and heal
when you need. Sooner or later the game will explain how Gatling works, and
put you FP to 100. Once that's happened, use "Gatling" and you win the
battle.
=============================================================================
Winning this fight will conclude Virginia's prologue.

Jet's Prologue:
Dungeon: Doomed to Obscurity
=============================================================================
My level: Jet Lv 3
=============================================================================
New Tool:
= Boomerang (Jet)
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Ascomid
Boss:
= Tatzelwurm
=============================================================================
Overview:
The advancements to next rooms is pretty straightforward, but the room
contain puzzles and walking routes that appear a little complex.
You need a good insight and study the room well before doing things.
=============================================================================
NEW TOOL: BOOMERANG
The boomerang is a pretty nifty tool, and Jet gets it right away upon
starting his prologue, so that's easy.Jet throws a boomerang which will if
you do nothing just come back, as a boomerang is supposed to do. When you
hit specially desinged targets (looking like green bulbs) with it,
something will happen that might help you solve the puzzle in the room
you're in. When the boomerang hits the wall or other kind of barrier, it
will fall down making you able to hit targets below. (To those who played
WA2, it works a bit like Ashley's Hurl Knife).When you use the directional
buttons (or left analog stick) while the boomerang is flying it's course
will change. On several occasions you need to make use of that as the
targets you need cannot be hit elseway.
=============================================================================
01: = Go up the stairs east and follow the route around the corner
north
= Don't walk the entire way north, halfaway is a stairway, hit
it and proceed nort.
= Hit the other stairs, and around the corner west
= All the way west and drop off west (you'll get a short
tutorial on how the dropping off system works).

stairs, hit it, and hit the other as well and go east
= Around the corner south
= At the end west and hit the stairs
= Use the boomerang on the wooden barrier in order to remove it
= Now a stairway inside the pyramid has been revealed. Hit it.
02: Go North until the grounds crumbles under your feet and you'll
fall down (you cannot take the chest right now in any way. And
no the walk-slowly trick you could use in Virginia's prologue
doesn't work here).
03: = Up the stairs East
= Drop off East
= Up the stairs south
= Drop off West
= OPTIONAL: Chest South-West = Heal Berry
= Up the stairs west
= Down the stairs north
= Up the stairs west

hurt you.
= Just RUN all the way west
= At the end, exit south
05: = Run all the way South
= At the end exit East
06: You will meet some people here. They'll offer to hire you to
find a missing person, but Jet will automatically decline.
= Exit East
07: = Run all the way North
= At the end exit West
08: Jet will now explain to the player how hanging in nets works.

= Jump into the net
=============================================================================
OPTIONAL
= All the way west

This is a tutorial battle. Just play long enough to get 25FP then use

Gallows' Prologue:
City: Baskar Colony
=============================================================================
My level: Gallows Lv 3
=============================================================================
Overview:
Baskar is (as always in a Wild Arms game) a native-american style village
devoted to the guardians.
In Wild Arms 3 it will also be the center of nearly all your activities, so
you'll be spending a lot of time here.
=============================================================================
- = OPTIONAL: Speak to Ellen (a woman walking around in the village) and
say to her "How'd you guess?", "Yeah. You wanna help me out?" and "I
wanna run away and be free." Now she'll give you 5x Heal Berry and 3x
Gimel Coin.
= Exit North
- = Once the intro is done speak to "Granny" and she'll reveal some kinds
of traps.
= Exit South
- = Go to the south part of town and speak to Cordell (a guy walking around
in this area) and he'll explain you how the searching system works (you
must have done that or you cannot search on the world map, which you
need to do to find nearly all cities and dungeons).
= Exit the village south

=============================================================================
Gallows' Prologue
Dungeon: Fallen Sanctuary
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Pillbug
Boss:
=============================================================================
New Tool
= Freeze Doll (Gallows)
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= First Cordell (in Baskar) must have told you how the searching system
works.
= When you leave Baskar, go South-West
= When you come past a beach into the dunes (which is a sea of quicksand
acting as the sea as far as this game is concerned) go East
= As soon as you can south
= When you can go no more south, search here
=============================================================================
Overview:
This place serves multiple purposes, but the other purpose will be
explained on the moment it actually gets relevant, and that is not right
now.
For now it's just a dungeon that is straight forward and the puzzles are
very easily overviewed and revolve most of all about putting out torches
with the Freeze Doll you'll obtain here.
Gallows as the "Aqua Wisp" Medium equipped. All you need to know about that
for now is that it allows Gallows to use magic and all enemies here need
magic to be defeated (as Gallows is too weak to kill them physically).
You'll be relying most on "Refridgerate" for this in random encounters, and
for the boss... that comes later.
=============================================================================
01: = Drop off North
= OPTIONAL: If you feel good about it hit the switch to open the
way back (if you don't it will happen automatically when you
get back here)
The stairway in the center serves no purpose at all during the
prologue, so leave it be. You'll find out its purpose soon
enough once you completed the prologue.
= Exit North
03: = North
= Push the block north onto the switch (you'll get a short
tutorial about it when you touch the block)
= Exit North
04: Exit East
05: = The outer chests are optional, the center chest contains your
first tool for Gallows
=============================================================================
NEW TOOL: FREEZER DOLL
The Freezer Doll will send out a cold beam into the direction
Gallows faces as long as you hold to tool button. You can turn
Gallows around while sending the beam (and some puzzles require
you to). The doll can freeze objects and put out fires.
=============================================================================
= Exit West
04: = Follow the way North
= Use the freezer doll to put out the torch
= Exit West
06: Follow the road and exit South
07: = Stand between the four torches
= Keep the tool button pressed and turn around and don't release
the tool button till all fires are out
= Exit West
08: Go East, exit East
09: Follow the road and exit North
10: = Pull the block west x3 and push it south x1
= A switchplate will lower stand onto it
= Exit West
11: = Follow the way north
The switch plate is useless at this stage of the game. It leads
to a bonus you'll have to come back for later in the game, so
ignore it for now.
= Exit North
13: Go North, exit North
14: = Stand in the center of the braziers
= Use the freezer doll to put them all out (read: hold tool
botton and turn around 360 degrees).
= Exit North

- Throws a cordon
= Spawns allies until there's a group of 4 again.
=============================================================================
As with the other prologue bosses, this one too serves only for tutorial
purposes.
You need to build up FP to 25 points. Once you have that use "Extention" in
combination with the spell "Pressure" to kill them all at once
(any other method will just result into them calling new allies endlessly).
=============================================================================
The boss is down and you'll obtain the Arc Sceptre, but it's not over yet.
15: Exit South x2
13: = Go South until you are locked in.
= When Shane appears, stand as close to him as possible and use
the Ark Scepter
= Now speak to Shane
This should conclude Gallows' prologue.

=============================================================================
Clive's Prologue
Dungeon: Den of Miasma
=============================================================================
My level: Clive Lv 5
=============================================================================
New Tool:
Bombs (Clive)
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Barghest
Boss:
=============================================================================
Overview:
The game makers deemed this prologue the hardest of the four, and I guess
it *is* a bit sucky.
Clive has first of all only two bullets so you'll be reloading quite a lot
(you can do that by guarding, in case you didn't know) :)
Clive is the only one who'll meet two bosses on his way (which is both the
same boss actually), and there's a little more than that.
This dungeon begins normally up till the moment you meet the boss. Once you
defeated the boss you'll get yourself poisoned and you cannot cure it in
any way, at this stage (bummer). When you make it out in this stage, your
poison will be cured and you'll get a long event in which you have to fight
the boss again. Beating it that time will end this prologue.
Taken this into consideration, I suppose this really is the hardest of the
four prologues, but it's doable, and even though Clive's the slowest
character of the game, your enemies are even slower. :)
=============================================================================
NEW TOOL: BOMBS
Place a bomb, wait three seconds and it'll explode. You can use this to
blow up weak walls and certain objects.
=============================================================================
001: = OPTIONAL: Speak to Borgnine three times to score three Heal
Berries
= Go North
= Exit East
002: Go East, exit East (you cannot claim the treasure chest right
now)
003: = OPTIONAL: Heal Berry at 6 o' clock :P
= North
= At the end use your bombs to blow up the west wall
= Exit West here
=============================================================================
004: OPTIONAL
= Go West
= Exit South
002: = use your bomb on the jellyfishes and you have 1 second to get
past them
= Claim your prize (Revive Fruit x2)
= Go back west and use the bomb again to get past the
jellyfishes
= Exit North
END OPTIONAL PART
=============================================================================
004: = At the east side of the room, blow up the little rocks north
with you bombs
= Go North
= Exit North
005: Go Northm, exit North
006: = Go north and around the corner west
= Use the bomb on the jellies here and they'll become harmless
= From here go South
= Exit South
005: Follow the road and exit South at the end
004: = Follow the road and bomb all jellies that block your path
= OPTIONAL: Chest = Gimel Coin
= Exit West
007: = OPTIONAL: Bomb the west wall and behind the passage revealed
are some treasures. (The strange blue thing as no value at
this stage of the game).
= Bomb the rocks to the north and proceed north
= Bomb the jellies and proceed north
= Exit west
008: Go North

My level: Clive Lv 5
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Bite Strike
= Normal attack
=============================================================================
And for Clive counts too that the boss battle (or this first round of it at
least) serves as a tutorial.
Keep shooting when you have ammo and guard to reload when you are out of
ammo until you got 25FP and until the boss got airborne.
Once the boss is Airborne use the Force Ability "Lock-On" to win this round
=============================================================================
First of all Clive's poisoned. He'll lose HP at every turn in battle and
with every step he makes outside of battle. You cannot cure it at this
stage of the game. This places you in a bit of a time limit, but when the
going gets though you can still use heal berries to extend your time, and
as long as you do nothing the poison will do nothing either, so DON'T
PANICK.
(Due to the place you end up in, it's impossible for me to track down the
room numbers, so I won't note them for the rest of this dungeon).
- = East
= Bomb the wall
= Exit East
- = Follow the corridor and bomb your way through the jellies
= When a rock drops before you, stand as close to it as possible and
place a number of bombs in succession to blow it up.
= Exit South
- = Drop off South
= East
= Drop off East
= Exit East
- Follow the corridor and exit west at the end
- Go West exit West
Now you'll have to sit out some scenario and once you sat it all out the
boss came back for you to seek revenge.

| Boss:

| Goldrake

My level: Clive Lv 5
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Toxic Breath
= Poisons you
= This move will only be used once
- Glider Dive
= Normal attack
=============================================================================
You got yourself one antidote now, and in the first turn the boss will
always poison you, but it will only do that once, so use your antidote
after you got poisoned.
After that you'll need to shoot it a few times with lock on (when you don't
lock on, the shot will always miss) and guard when you're out of ammo.
=============================================================================
Winning this fight will conclude Clive's Prologue.
PRO00000007

Introducing Janus Cascade
=============================================================================
Sit out the scenario and the group will eventually get into a fight with
Janus Cascade and his two (pathetic) helpers.
BOS00000006
+---------
| Rival Drifters:
+----------------
| Janus, Romero and Dario
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv3; Clive Lv6; Jet lv4; Gallows lv3
=============================================================================
Abilities Janus:
- Multiblast
= Hurt entire party. Only used in the first turn to start the tutorial
about Viriginia's Mystic ability.
- Sniper Shark XR
= Standard Range attack
- Heretic Stab
= Standard Melee Attack
Abilities Romero:
- Throwing star
= Normtal attack
Abilities Dario:
- Guillius TH12/23
= Normal attack
=============================================================================
Well, remember these three as they are going to bug you during the entire
first chapter that starts after this fight. And Janus will bug you a long
time after that too, so I hope they didn't frustrate you too much.
Romero and Dario are not your big treat. You can easily heal through their
attacks (where Gallows is your healer). Janus on the other hand is a more
dangerous opponent.
In the first turn have everybody guarding and Janus will perform Multiblast
to hurt you all. Fortunately he only performs that move during the first
turn, and a tutorial explaing Virginia's Mystic ability will follow, but
better ignore that. Whenever Virginia does not guard she's dead, so she's
useless in this fight.
After that, let the Clive and Jet take out Romero and Dario and Gallows
should act as your healer with his healing spell.
When Romero and Dario are out take out Janus himself in the same manner.
=============================================================================
Winning this fight will conclude the prologue. You can save your game at
this point and then the first chapter will begin.
CH100000001
CHAPTER 1
Chapter 1 is rather a chapter to get along in the story.
The game will just send you from one dungeon to another. Most of the time
you'll be bothered by Janus Cascade.
CH100000002
=============================================================================
City: Baskar Colony
Let's return the Ark Sceptre
=============================================================================
How to get there:
You are dropped from a train in the middle of nowhere. So I'll guide you to
the village, since you don't know the way yet, I guess :)
= West
= When you hit a mountain north
= When you hit another mountain west and keep hugging the mountain
= As soon as you can north
= AS soon as you can North East
= Ta-daaaaaa!
=============================================================================
Upon your arrival Hall will give you 1200 Gella.
After that you'll learn stuff about the Ark Scepters.
Halle will also destroy Gallows' Aqua Wisp Medium, which means he won't be
able to do magic any more, but that's not a problem... You'll get a new one
soon.
After the lot of blah blah, you can leave the village and go to the Fallen
Sanctuary.

= Schturdark (Aqua Wisp)
= Moor Gault (Fiery Rage)
= Fengalon
= Grudiev (Terra Roar)
=============================================================================
Now you need to go up the stairs and hear out the explanation Gallows will
give you about the guardians.
After that you need to examine the four monoliths (the N, S, E, W ones, the
others cannot be reached at the present time).
When you examine those Monoliths you fight the guardian tied to it, when
the guardian accepts you as the winner you'll gain his medium. From this
moment on the "Evoke" system will be activated making you able to equip the
guardian to a character. For now you'll only gain the Arcana spells from
that medium, the other powers in it will be unlocked later.
I strongly suggest you equip each medium as soon as you obtain them.
I recommend the next
- Viriginia
= Grudiev (Terra Roar)
- Clive
= Moor Gualt (Fiery Rage)
- Jet
= None (for now)
- Gallows
= Schturdark (Aqua Wisp)
= Fengalon
I can't stress enough that when you want to put the power explained in my
FAQ to the fullest to always keep that setup unless I EXPLICTLY state
otherwise.
Okay, I said you had to fight the guardians. I start with the North
Monolith, and will take them on, CLOCKWISE.

My levels: Virginia Lv4; Clive Lv7; Jet lv5; Gallows lv5

Abilities:
- Assault Tide
= Strong Water Attack on all targets
- Big Press
= Normal attack (also used to couter you attacks)
- Refridgerate
= Ice attack one target
- Pressure
= Water attack one target
=============================================================================
In the first move Schturdark will always use his most powerful move. I
therefore suggest to let Virginia guard there.
In the turns that follows you can just attack away, his counterattacks miss
99% of the time. Problem is that you cannot heal through magic, so you'll
have to use your items, but as HP recovery items are not for sale in shops
and not easily attained in this stage of the game, I recommend you not to
push it. Virginia can help a lot by mysticking (wow, now word) those items.

- Megasmash
= Normal attack (used much as counter)
- Petrify
= Earth attack on one target
=============================================================================
In the first move Grudiev will always use his most powerful move. I
therefore suggest to let Virginia guard there.
In the turns that follows you can just attack away, his counterattacks miss
99% of the time.
I hope you took on Schturdark first and have the Aqua Wisp medium equipped
on Gallows so he can aid the party with his healing spells.

| Moor Gault
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv7; Clive Lv8; Jet lv7; Gallows lv7
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Vapor Blast
= Strong Fire attack against entire party
= This move kills Virginia unless you either let her guard all the time
or she's heavily overlevelled.
- Vulcan Beak
= Normal attack (also used to counterattack)
- Cremate
= Fire attack on one target
=============================================================================
Moor Gault is the strongest of the four and therefore you should not
underestimate his power.
You must have done Schturdark first so you have your healing powers ready.
Virginia should guard throughout the entire fight or she's toast.
Moor Gault has the least HP though, so this battle can be pretty short
BOS0000000A
+---------
| Guardian
+----------------
| Fengalon
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv8; Clive Lv9; Jet lv8; Gallows lv8
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Hi-Speed Ripper
= Strong wind attack on entire party
- Turbulence
= Increase dodge rate
- Sonic Scratch
= Normal attack (also used as counter-attack)
- Inspire
= Thunder attack on one target
=============================================================================
Fengalon is not exactly strong, but he's fast... Very fast, so you have to
think ahead.
First turn is easy to predict, as that's always Hi-Speed Ripper. You may
want to let Virginia guard there, but it's not really needed, she should
survive.
Fengalon likes to increase his already high dodge rate a lot, so it's hard
to hit him. If you did already beat Grudiev you can cast "Petrify" on him
as that will do a lot of damage.
In physical attacks, he doesn't do them often and his counterrate is pretty
low compared to the others, but he is also more accurate than the others.
But in general this fight is very easy.
=============================================================================
When you got all guardians done, return to the stairs down and you'll get
some more information about your mediums.
You'll be able to summon. You can summon any time you want, but it will
take 1 MTC point, when you're out of MTC points you cannot summon anymore.
You can restore MTC points by resting at an inn.
By killing a certain number of enemies by summons, your max MTC points will
increase.
Downside is however that summoning reduces your FP to 0 and the more FP you
had the more powerful the guardian. The power move they all used in their
first turn is the move they'll perform on your enemies.
After that return to Baskar Colony.

City: Baskar Coloy
We got the Four Guardians
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv8; Clive Lv9; Jet lv8; Gallows lv8
=============================================================================
Upon arrival Halle will power up your mediums and with that the personal
skills become available. This is a very important feature as nearly all
your power and defense lies in those skills.
See the personal skill section for more information.
When that's all done, speak to Roykman (the travelling salesman south in
town) choose the "Chat" feature. He'll tell you about Jolly Roger and
leave.
With that you got your next target set.
Leave the city and go to Jolly Roger
CH100000005
=============================================================================
City: Jolly Roger
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv8; Clive Lv9; Jet lv8; Gallows lv8

How to get there:
= Go to the Fallen Sanctuary (don't enter it)
= From there go East
= As soon as you can south
= When you reach the edge go east
= Cross the bridge south
= Go West and keep hugging the edge
= When you follow the edge you'll find a beach into the dunes. Search
there.
=============================================================================
Overview:
Just a little town. This town will play a much more important role later on
once you'll be able to explore the dunes.
For now let's just go for the scenario :)
=============================================================================
- = OPTIONAL: CLIVE: Bomb the south side of the big crate north of the
entrance to obtain a Migrant Seal (See Migrant Seal Section for more
information)
= Enter the inn (south of town, next to savespot)
- = Speak to Hannah (the barmaid) and choose the "Chat" feature
= When the game prompts to give her 150 Gella accept
Now you'll automatically have a rest. The party will after that discuss
things. Virginia convices the boys to remain a group, and surprisingly
they accept and Clive appoints Virginia as the leader (as it was her
idea). Now the story can really begin, oh yeah.
= Leave the inn
- You'll meet Janus Cascade and his two henchmen, he'll make a proposal but
Virginia will reject it automatically (for now)
(You'll see a blackhaired girl walking away from Romero and Dario. Take
note of that. You'll find out eventually why).
= Leave the city

=============================================================================
How to get there:
= Head East from Jolly Roger
= When you reach the edge go south and keep following the edge
= When you reach the south-east corner search and you'll find the dungeon
=============================================================================
Overview:
The name has a MEMORY. After all Jack's Prologue Dungeon in Wild Arms 1 was
also called "Ruins of Memory", and in Wild Arms 2 we have a "Memory Maze"
(most likely a mistranslation to "Ruins of Memory") where Ashley was
accompanied by Anastasiia and Lucied.
The place will let you use your tools a lot, of all four characters.
There's a little complexity in the dungeon's set up, but it's no big deal.
=============================================================================
01: Exit North
02: Go North, exit North
03: You'll find Janus again coming up with the same proposal. Oddly
Virginia will accept this time, meaning Janus will go with you,
but not as a playable character
= Exit North-East
04: = Hit the way South
= You can break the glass by either bumping into it or using
Clive's bombs
= Step on the switch plate
= Exit South
05: = South
= Up the stairs east
= JET: Hit the target north with the boomerang
= Get onto the western platform
= Exit West
02: = Stand in the center of the bridge
= GALLOWS: Use the Freezer Doll to put out all torches
= Exit West
06: = OPTIONAL: Chest behind south glass wall = Heal Berry
= Destroy the northern and the center glass walls
= Move the block onto the switch up north
= Exit North
07: = OPTIONAL: Chest = 1500 Gella
= Go North
= Exit North
08: = OPTIONAL: Chest behind glass = Gella Card
= Follow the corridor
= OPTIONAL: North exit is treasure. Take it if you want and come
back here
= Exit East
10: You'll be locked in this room and you can't leave until you
completed the puzzle
= East
= CLIVE: When you reach the east side, destroy the statue up
north with the broken arm with a bomb
= Stand onto the switchplate that's now revealed
= Exit East
11: = OPTIONAL: To the south is a switch that opens a shortcut out
of the dungeon. (not that you need it, but hey, I'm supposed
to tell you) :)
= Exit Noth
12: = CLIVE: Bomb the west wall
= Exit West
13: OPTIONAL: The chests south contain a Memoires Pen, you can
attach that to a guardian medium to obtain a skill that protects
against Amnesia (though I prefer to keep that item in my pocket
for the time being).
There's also a Growth Egg. Using that on a character will
increase his/her maximum MTC by 1.
The third chest is sealed and you need a duplicator to open it
(which you probably don't have at this moment). If you can open
it you'll gain Name Tag x3 (worthless item).
= JET: There's a boomerang target behind the pillar. To hit it,
stand a bit south of it from the east platform, throw the
boomerang and use the directional buttons or the left analog
stick to steer the boomerang to the target
= Exit North
14: = GALLOWS: Put out the blue flame with the freezer doll and a
platform will lower
= Stand on that platform
= VIRGINIA: Use the thindercrest from here to light the torch
Gallows just put out
= Exit North

=============================================================================
Abilities Janus:
- Multiblast
= Attack entire party
- Heal Berry
= Heals up Romero and Dario
= Janus will use this one on them whenever you attack them regardless if
it's his turn or not.
Abilities Romero:
- Looses Nerve
= Ups RFX or waste a turn
- Throwing star
= Normtal attack
Abilities Dario:
- Zip up
= Ups DEF or waste a turn
- Guillius TH12/23
= Normal attack
Combo Ability Janus + Romero + Dario
- Trinity
= Strong series of attacks on one target
=============================================================================
Well a lot of Blah Blah about that "Trinity" move, and Janus will use it in
the first turn, but it's no big deal.
Romero and Dario will do nothing at all and don't bother attacking them,
Janus will heal them instantly regardless if it's his turn or not.
Fire all your lead into Janus first, after a few blows he'll make a run for
it and Romero and Dario will fight on without him. They are still as weak
as ever (even Virginia shouldn't be impressed), and you don't need any
special knowledge to get rid of them.
=============================================================================
When you win this battle you'll score a Duplicator, and this concludes this
dungeon.
In Wild Arms 3 you'll be teleported out of a dungeon as soon as you
completed it. Cool, huh?

= Leave Jolly Roger
- = Make your way over the bridge north-east of Jolly Roger
= Go West and when you find a rail road follow it west and search near
the mountain to find a railway station. Enter it
- Buy a ticket to West wood and hit the train. When you arrive leave the
station
- = Go all the way east and when a railroad comes close to you, search the
area at the railway corner to find the city
=============================================================================
Overview:
Just a town like many others here.
You can start up the "Martina van Basten" sidequest here (see sidequest
section for more information).
You can also buy yourself some horses (2000 gella), but you can also skip
for that later, that's up to you.

ruins to the east

=============================================================================
How to get there:
= From Clayborne go East
= When you see an alcove in the mountain north, go into it and search there
=============================================================================
Overview:
This dungeon is a bit awful in layout. It's a bit complicated in setup.
There's a switch here that activates the tracker system. It will show the
room numbers (which are the same numbers I show in my FAQ each new room).
This dungeon you'll be introduced to the Schrodinger family, whom I
personally nickenamed "The Frustration Foundation". It's a drifter team led
by Maya Schrodinger and she acts very obnoxious and will do anything in her
power to annoy you.
For random encounters you'll encounter only "Jelly Blob". They are immune
to ANY form of physical attack. Any elemental Arcana spell will have to do
the trick here. I hope you got the levels to do that in one turn.
This is also the first dungeon in which you can find trapped chests after
battle. You gotta choose who disarms it. The higher the luck of that
character the more chance it gets disarmed succesfully, when the disarm
fails something bad will happen.
Let's just get this show on the road
=============================================================================
001: Exit North
002: Go North, exit North
006: Exit East
008: = Flip the switch North
= Exit East
009: = Flip the switch (now the room numbers become visible. And some
more effects too) :)

004: = South

006: = North

You'll get a little scene in which you'll first meet the
Schrodinger Family. Just hear them out until they leave (they
are gonna annoy you).

014: = If you got a duplicator open the chest south with it to score

She'll only do that once in this room, so don't worry

016: = VIRGINIA: Use the thindercrest to defrost the switch
= Flip the switch
= GALLOWS: Freeze the switch

it's frozen she won't succeed)

Abilities Alfred:

Abilities Todd:

= Heals ally
= Whenever you attack Maya or Alfred Todd will instantly cast this spell
regardless if it's his turn or not.
- Black Fenrir
= Todd's Normal attack
= TRIVIA: Named after the sword of honor Jack can get in Arctica Castle
in Wild Arms 1.
- Psycho Crack
= Attack + Confusion on one target
= TRIVIA: Named after Jack's initial Fast Draw attack in Wild Arms 1.
Abilities Shady
- Baking Breath
= Fire attack one target
- Blizzard breath Breath
= Ice attack one target
=============================================================================
First of all I refuse to use the silly names the game gives you now, I just
use the names they really have.
Blonde = Maya
Timid Boy = Alfred
Afro = Todd
Cat (?) = Shady
The only thing that matters in this fight is taking Maya down, as soon as
she's down the battle is over in your favor.
This is easier said than done as Todd will heal her (and her little brother
Alfred) whenever she gets attacked. Todd is also a very skilled swordsman
with very nasty move (trivia: they mimic Jack's Fast Draw in Wild Arms 1).
So task one is, take down Todd. He's taugh, but if you cast "Cremate" on
him (or use a fire gem) his afro will catch fire hurting him at the end of
each turn. Only use that fire spell once.
Now focus all your attacks on Todd until he's out of the battle. Gallows
should be aggressively healing everybody. Todd has the bad habit of causing
confusion too. I hope you got a few pinwheels, but you can do without them
(it makes the fight only a bit harder).
Once Todd is out this battle is 70% easier. Now it's up to you if you go
straight for Maya or if you want to take the others down first. Alfred and
Shady are very easy.
Maya can become dangerous once she's getting low in HP, summonning a super
gun dealing a lot of damage. Of course, when you have all other 3 out, this
is no problem at all, but even with only Todd out you can win easily, as
long as you heal yourself.

Abilities Dario:

Combo Ability Janus + Romero + Dario

= Strong series of attacks on one target
=============================================================================
This battle is not hard, even though the three act more aggressively than
before. You can easily keep it up with healing and even the "Trinity" combo
is still a joke.
It's senseless to attack Janus. Whenever you do he'll switch places with
one of his followers having them to take the blow in stead. So here's the
rub. Strike down Romero and Dario first and once they are out there's no
more man for Janus to switch with, so you can take him out.
=============================================================================
Winning this fight concludes this dungeon.
You'll end up fully rested in Clayborne. When you are ready, leave the city
and head for Ka Dingel.

Boss:

=============================================================================
How to get there:
As Janus told you, go to the peninsula south-west of Clayborne and search
there
=============================================================================
Overview:
Ka Dingel is the final dungeon of chapter 1. The overal layout is
straightforward but the difficulty of the puzzles has been raised a bit.
When it comes to enemies, they are not really that hard. The first boss
Trask is not hard either. When you defeat him a Boss Seal will appear. You
cannot use that at the current stage of the game, but if you wanna know
more, read the "Sealed Boss" Section.
At the end of the dungeon you'll get to face Janus again, and even though
Romero and Dario aren't part of this fight he's harder than ever. In fact,
this may be the first boss fight that really shows a challenge as he's very
extremely insanely hard. In other words "BE PREPARED!"
=============================================================================
001: = Go straight North
= Exit North
002: = Either drop off or go down the stairs
= Move the east block east x3
= Move the other north x1
= Move it east x4
= Tada... A bridge. Cross it
= Push the block of the platform to the north
= Drop off North
= OPTIONAL: You can pull the block east to form a bridge to the
treasure.
= Push the block west to form a bridge to the exit (IMPORTANT! I
said PUSH and NOT pull!!!)
= Go over the east side south up the stairs
= Cross the bridges you made
= Exit North
003: Follow the corridor and exit east at the end
004: = Step onto the switch and an elevator will lower
= Step onto it
= Turn the wheel to go up
= East
= OPTIONAL: You can drop off to hit the north exit for treasure
(Gella Card x3, Gimel Coin, Duplicator), but that will mean
you gotta start over the entire puzzle
= Drop off East
= Use the wheel to go up until the system won't let you go
further

Heathing something then cooling it down will make something fragile.
Sometimes the other way around, but the combination heath and ice makes
fragile and this boss is the first obtacle in a long series till the end of
the game that makes use of that principle.
Trasks body is completely unpenetrable, so first make somebody cast Cremate
on it, and then as cast Refridgerate on it, and Trask's defense will drop.
After that this will overall become a pretty general attack when you can
and heal when you must battle.
You must keep in mind that Trask can poison you. It does counter all your
attacks, but that mostly misses.
=============================================================================
After this fight you'll see a strange red orb appear with strange blue
circles around it, making it give an atomic look.
That's a monster seal, it has absolutely no function at all at the present
stage of the game, you'll have to come back for that later in the game (See
the "Sealed Bosses" Section for more information about that).
You did score a moonstone here. Equipping it on a guardian gives the
"[Poison] Ward" skill.
007: Exit South
008: Follow the corridor and exit west at the end
009: You can go for the chests, but that means you gotta start this
room over.

= OPTIONAL: If you want the chest, drop off east claim it and
start over. (Heal Berry)

015: Nice to note, the chests to the south contain a gimel coin, and
this is a very good moment to use one, as Janus is close and
he's though.

=============================================================================
Janus is very extremely strong this time, and to tell the truth, most of
the optional bosses are easier than this.
Nearly all your attacks will be countered, that's not the strongest he can
do, but the damage is significant, even more because of his supermove
"Rising Nova" which deals very much damage, in combination with the
counters (and in some turns Janus even acts twice) you're in for a rough
ride.
I personally only made Jet and Clive attack, that keeps the damage of
counters a bit under control. Those two do the most damage anyway. This
means that Gallows should heal like crazy with the healing spell, and when
you are in trouble Virginia could use a heal berry (in all other turns she
should guard).
This should work well, but no guarantees.. ok?

CHAPTER 2
In chapter 2 things get in motion. You saw the prophets before, and in this
chapter they become your opponent.
During this chapter four new guardians will be introduced, you don't have
to fight against those, though some other boss fights will be there.
Overall this chapter is straight forward, though a few things can be taken
on in random order.
This chapter is also significantly longer than the prologue and chapter 1.
Good luck.
P.S. If you didn't already do it yet, buy the horses in Clayborne. You
cannot reach your next destination without them.
We start at the inn in Clayborne, let's go to Little Twister.

City: Little Twister
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv12; Clive Lv12; Jet lv12; Gallows lv12
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= First of all you MUST have bought the "horsies" in the barn in Clayborne
by now, if you didn't you cannot reach this town! If you don't have them
yet, buy them now (2000 Gella)
= Mount your horse and go from Clayborne all the way west
= Jump over the gorge and proceed west (You can only jump over gorges while
mounted on a horse. Please note that the jumping should happen
automatically, but the feature is a bit bugged, so you'll need several
attempts
= When you find a beach into the dunes, search the area a bit north to it
=============================================================================
Overview:
A city with little law and order, that's how this place was described by
Gallows.
Well I guess there are a few things here not completely right.
I hope you brought some cash with you, as you need it to proceed
=============================================================================
- Enter the inn
- = Speak to Angela (the innkeeper) and use the "chat" feature.
= "Point to a 500 Gella bottle" (this will cost you 500 gella though)
= After the party has discussed the stuff, leave the inn and the entire
town.

Dungeon: The Unclean Mark

My levels: Virginia Lv12; Clive Lv12; Jet lv12; Gallows lv12

Enemies:
= Orc
Bosses:
= "Robed Woman" (Melody)
= Janus
=============================================================================
How to get there:
North-east of Little Twister. It's hard to spot though.
=============================================================================
Overview:
This dungeon is one with many traps. A girl will "lead" you through this
dungeon, but stay alert as she's trying to lure you into your death (at the
end of the dungeon you'll discover why).
The boss fights in this dungeon are though, so be well prepared.
=============================================================================
001: Go North, exit West
002: You'll meet a girl named Claudia here. She'll make you a
proposal, which you'll automatically accept.
Then for this puzzle. The pyramids need to be bombed by Clive.
But once a bomb explodes activating a pyramid you got only 2
seconds to activate the others or the puzzle resets.
Have Clive to walk past the pyramids and place the bombs while
you are walking this saves time. Skip all random encounters as
they will spook everything up.
Practice if you need, and once you succeed, exit North
003: = OPTIONAL: Duplicator door west leads to treasure (Dragon
Fossil, 3000 Gella, Heal Berry, Heart Leaf)
= East
= At the end exit South
005: = East
= Go South
= Now Claudia will move forward to hit the switch for you, go
either North or South as quickly as you can or the device here
will knock you straight dead (which just resets this room, so
no worries).
= Speak to Claudia
= Hit the eastern exit North
006: = OPTIONAL: West exit contains treasure. (watch out, south-west
treasure is a mimic). Claim it if you want (Mimic = Duplicator
x2, others = Gimel Coin, Lucky Card x3, Gella Card x2)
= Follow the corridor and exit west at the end
003: = Follow the road
= JET: At the south is a target. Hit it with the boomerang
= Exit West
008: Another time in which you'll be lured to death. Claudia will
walk toward the switch. As soon as you speak to her she'll walk
over it, after that the bridge will collapse. Run North before
you fall down. If that happens you can get out easily, but it
hurts.
= Speak to Claudia
= Exit North
009: Go North, exit North
010: = Step onto the switch and the blocks will roll to you.
= CLIVE: Use your bombs in succession to destroy them and make
your way east
= Exit East
011: Follow the corridor and exit East (you cannot yet do anything
with the switch and the door south at this stage of the game)
013: This puzzle is the same as at the entrance, but a bit harder.
First of all, any encounter will spook everything up. Even the
appearance of the exclamation mark means you can better start
over.
You need to place bombs to activate the pyramids and they need
to explode all in less than 2 seconds.
Walk this way
X X X X
. . .
. . .
X X X X
Place your bombs on the spots I marked with a . and DON'T STOP
moving while placing the bombs.
You may need to practice. When you succeed, exit North
014: = Up the stairs east
= Move a bit to the middle and RUN all the way North (You'll get
a scene with Claudia. No trouble, as soon as she's gone, RUN
STRAIGHT NORTH).
= At the end exit WEST
015: = At the south west is a crystal, take it and move immediately
straight north (don't run).
= Speak to Claudia

=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Eliminate Scanner
= 280+ damage to Clive
- Total Inahalator
= Very much damage to entire party.
=============================================================================
I refuse to call her "Robed Woman", the girl you're currently fighting is
named Melody.
And she's mad. Clive insulted her, so Clive must pay. This makes things
easier as Clive and Clive alone will be attacked all the time. Nobody else,
so you can predict what she'll do and you know you gotta heal Clive. The
problem is that your "Heal" spell cannot keep up to the damage Melody
causes to Clive every turn and you MUST keep Clive alive. If Clive dies,
Melody will cast "Total Inahalator" to finish the entire party off in once.
This is thus gonna be costly on your healing berries. Just use them about
every turn unless you manage to keep Clive above 320 HP at least, which is
with healing spells a next to impossible feat (if it's not impossible you
are dramatically overlevelled and need a life). :P
So have Virginia to use a healing berry on Clive at the start of every turn
and let the others attack Melody.
The advantage may be that Clive gains FP like crazy so you may be able to
finish her off with a gatling.
Letting Clive do nothing but guarding is a strategy you could follow
(reduces Melody's attack to 220+) but as Clive is the one who deals much
damage that will take forever and Melody's attacks will still be stronger
than your healing spells.
=============================================================================
015: Melody will make a run for it in the most cowardish way. No
matter.
You cannot save by using Gimel Coins now until the next boss has
been defeated. (oh bummer)

Abilities:
- Negative Rainbow
= 190+ damage on entire part
- Dark Speak
= 150+ damage on one target
=============================================================================
Here we got Janus again, but as he's no longer human, his fighting style
has been completely revamped.
He no longer uses a bayonet but the Dark Spear and the power from that
thing sucks, and you're once again in for a rough ride.
Basically he casts "Negative Rainbow" in the first turn, in the turn after
that a normal attack, and after that he'll repeat that cycle over and over.
In the first two turns, don't overuse your healing, just attack and heal
your weakest ones with a heal spell.
In the third and fourth turns, evaluate how bad you sitiuation is. If only
one of your party members (or less) is below 200 HP just heal your weakest
with a healing spell, and basically this should be the case.
In turn five the Negative Rainbow may really fall bad on you, let Virginia
Mystic a heal berry.
In turn six you should most likely be able to defeat him, if not, repeat
the above strategy.
=============================================================================
Winning from Janus concludes this dungeon. You'll be camping out discussing
the situation.
After that return to Little Twister to return Claudia and complete the
mission.

Dungeon: Lunatic Garden
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Marid
= Oak
Bosses:
= Malik ("Slickster")
= The King of Angolmois
=============================================================================
New Tool:
= Steady Doll (Gallows)
New Guardian
= Celesdue (Moon Spark)
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= First of all, speak to Claudia in the inn/saloon in Little Twister and
ask her about the "Giant Shrine".
= On the world map go South-East
= When you see a railway in the distance search the edge to the dunes to
find the place
=============================================================================
Overview:
Here you'll find the first guardian of the four you'll find during this
chapter, her name is "Celesdue" and she's considered the Guardian of
Darkness.
You'll also find Gallows' second tool here, and you can guess you'll be
using it quite a lot.
The puzzles are pretty medium here, and the dungeon total layout is very
basic (like most of the dungeons in WA3).
At the end of this dungeon you'll meet Malik (though the game calls him
"Slickster" at this point as his real name has not been said to the party
yet. I don't consider revealing his name as a spoiler here as it's
imprinted in the game manual) :P
He's very very terrible, so be well prepared. After Malik's beaten you
cannot save by Gimel Coins anymore and you won't exit the dungeon as
normally. You need to back till halfway the dungeon where you'll fight The
King Of Angolmois, and contractionally to earlier games he's not an
optional boss here.
After killing Angolmois, the dungeon is concluded and then you'll be warped
out (and after that gimel coins also work again).
=============================================================================
001: = Go north
= At the north-east side of the bridge you'll find a
switchplate. Step onto it and the door North will open.
= Exit North
002: = OPTIONAL: East and right chest are Gella Card x3 and 3500
Gella
= Open the center chest
=============================================================================
NEW TOOL: STEADY DOLL
The steady doll can be seen a bit as a combination with Hanpan
(Wild Arms 1) and Pooka (Wild Arms 2), in case you played
neither of those two games, a deeper explanation is in order.
When used Gallows throws the doll out, if it hits nothing at all
it'll just come back. When it hits a switch or a treasure chest,
the doll will activate it for you and come back. When the doll
hits a wall or something it will stop moving and respond to the
directional keys or the left analog stick. Steer it into the
direction you want and press X to make it activate a switch or
treasure. When you press the tool or cancel button the doll will
then return the control to Gallows.Wow, that was a pretty
mouthful of information there :)
=============================================================================
= Exit South
001: = OPTIONAL: GALLOWS: Use the Steady doll to hit the switch west
to reach the duplicator door. Behind it you can find a Migrant
Seal (though you need the steady doll to get it) and a Tiny
Flower and a Revive Fruit x2.
= GALLOWS: Use the steady doll on the switch to the East
= Exit East
004: = Go East
= GALLOWS: Use the steady doll to push the block east and north
(order doesn't matter)
= Exit South
005: Go up the stairs and hit the exit at the end
004: Exit West
001: Cross the bridge and exit West
006: Go to the south east puzzle and let's take a look at it.
A B C D N * = Switch
1 * 2 ^ 1 = Single Block
2 1 | 2 = Double Block
3
4 * *
The object is easy, have a block on each switch and yes the
Steady Doll will have to do here. Let's go.
= GALLOWS: Use the Steady Doll to push the single block on C2 to
C4 (you may need to turn the camera diagonally for the second
push)
= GALLOWS: Use the Steady Doll to push the block you just moved
to C4 to A4
= GALLOWS: Use the Steady Doll to push the upper block on D1 to
the west so that it will fall on C1
= GALLOWS: Use the Steady Doll to push D1 to D4
= GALLOWS: Use the Steady Doll to Push C1 to A1
= Up the steps
= Exit North
007: Go up the stairs and hit the exit at the end
008: = West
= Up the staris
= GALLOWS: Use the Steady Doll to hit the switch North
= Exit East
009: = North
= Take the most WESTERN way south
= Drop off ONTO the switch
= North
= Take the EASTERN way south
= OPTONAL: Chest = Growth Egg
= Exit East
010: = East
= Stand as much south as you can
= GALLOWS: Send the Steady Doll from here to the switch and
you'll see you on an elevator bringing you up.
= Make your way west up here, and exit west
009: Go West, exit West
011: Go up the stairs and hit the exit
012: You are on a garden-on-the-roof... A bit Babylon style I
suppose. In this room you won't get into random encounters.
I recommend to use either Clive or Gallows for this. Virginia
and Jet are shorter and that matters in this room.
= Pick up a crate
= Stand on the stairs west (if you have Gallows or Clive, if you
use Jet or Virginia you need to be on the platform) and throw
the crate onto the pyramid.
= GALLOWS OR CLIVE: Pick up another crate
= GALLOWS OR CLIVE: Go to the south-west part and throw the
crate onto the pyramid west (Virginia and Jet cannot reach it
as they are both too short)
= Pick up a crate
= Go up the stairs east
= Throw the crate onto the pyramid west of this upper platform
= OPTIONAL: Chest south of upper platform = Duplicator
= Exit North
013: = GALLOWS: Use the Steady Doll to hit the switch west
= Exit West
014: This is the room with the "Chock" (or "Big Thingamajig" as
Virginia will call it later in the game). You'll find one at the
end of all four Guardian temples during this chapter. Not really
important but a good road marker :)
This is a very good moment to use a Gimel Coin to save your
game.
= When you are ready exit North

- Eliminate Scanner

- Tri-Injury
= Disease, Misery and Amnesia all at once on one target
- Total Inahalator
= Strong attack on entire party
=============================================================================
This guy is terrible. At first you cannot hit it with normal attacks, but
whoever has the Terra Roar equipped (for me that was Virginia) can cast
decellerate on him to fix that problem.
The point is that this guy is constantly confusing people and you can try
to use pinwheels to fix it, but it's what we call in Dutch "Dweilen met de
kraan open", which litterally translates into "Mobbing with an open tap",
perhaps you can feel what that saying means. No? Let's just say that it
means it's pointless (not the exact meaning, but I guess you get the
picture).
You'll be getting a lot of damage here from your comrades. He can do
"Eliminate Scanner" like Melody, but this time it's not nearly as powerful
as Melody's. It's the confusion what gets you. The other status changes he
can cause by "Tri-Injury" are much less of a problem.
In basic winning or losing is completely in the hands of Lady Luck. How
often will Malik confuse you (if you are lucky never, if you are unlucky
all the time), and also he can cast a superpowerful attack on the entire
party, and does he go crazy with that or not. When you are lucky he'll even
skip turns. You never know, and that makes it impossible to write a good
strategy on him. :(
=============================================================================
Malik will make a run for it. You'll also obtain the guardian Celesdue in
the form of the Moon Spark Medium. I gave it to Jet.
Now you need to cure all the bad statusses you may have from this battle.
Disease and Misary in particular. You'll need to use spells to beat the
next boss. You cannot save now until the next boss is dead.

=============================================================================
This guy is bothersome. It takes an eternity to kill him unless you go
crazy with the spell "Grav" that the new guardian you just obtained
provides. I had it on Jet so I let him go crazy with that spell. The one
weating that medium can also be made immune to darkness and it's wise to do
so.
Most of his attacks are easy to heal through, but occasionally (if you are
unlucky) he can cast "The 7th Moon" causing a lot of damage on the entire
party. He uses it so little that I got many angry mails claiming he doesn't
even have that spell, well I played this game over 100 times from start to
finish, and I have confirmed that he has it, so don't mail me about it,
I'll only ban you for your trouble. As said he barely uses that spell, but
he has it and when he uses it you suffer dearly. If you are unlucky you got
a rare case that he goes crazy with it, and then you are most likely toast,
but that is a very rare scenario.
Please note, "Grav" never kills, it deals a lot of damage, but never lethal
damage, so you'll need to keep shooting if you want to finish him off.

Winning this fight will conclude the dungeon.

= When the way's blocked go a littl east to find a ramp up
= Go up that ramp and go straight on and search at the end of this way
=============================================================================
Overview:
This is one of my least favorite dungeons.
The dungeon starts with a boss fight. The Hurlskals, or "imbecile knights"
as I like to call them. The battle against them is not exactly easy,
however if you can keep that fight under control you may not have that much
trouble. Starting right is what matters here.
After that we have a dungeon part that is not that hard. Halfaway the
dungeon you'll meet the Hurlskals again, but that fight is EXACTLY the same
as your previous fight against them. Once you win that you'll immediately
have to fight them again, and that time an extra knight joins them.
When you win that you are at least rid of those knights, but then a party
begins where you need a quick eye and an even quicker hand movement. Hard
to explain in this overview, but prepare to be frustrated, and you may need
some practice.
At the end of this dungeon you'll have to battle Janus (yeah I know, Janus
is getting old), and this time it's an endurance fight. The fight is set up
that way, that you'll most likely leave this dungeon with an empty VIT bar.

The imbecile knights, at your service.
The knights are scripted to work together, in some sort of way.
Jasna will always kill one of your party in one blow (providing the instant
kill effect worked), unless he or one of his allies is hurt then he will
heal him in stead.
Wisrapt will always raise his own magic resistance (don't even try to
dispell that) and he'll use his other turns in order to cancel you.
Vendidurt actually fights, but his attacks are pathetic.
What matters most of all is that you focus all your power to remove Jasna
first. You don't want him to heal the other knights and as long as he has
to heal he cannot kill you instantly.

Do you win or do you lose? It's all determined in the first two turns. When

Turn 1: Jasna kills somebody and Jasteuch will do his supermove... That
thing is set. Now here's the rub, in turn two Wisrapt will cancel somebody.
Is the one reviving the dead one cancelled, then reset your playstation and
try it again (yeah, even with the fight before that, things will go much
faster).
If that all goes well, then getting the new green guy (Jasteuch) out is
easy (even with Jasna's healing). Once you downed Jasteuch, the rest of the

- Dark Spear
= Melee Attack
- Negative Rainbos
= Deal your Max HP -1 damage
=============================================================================
This is a battle of endurance. Survive 3 turns and you "win" this battle,
though you won't get any experience points for it.
Easier said than done, as Janus will pull things to the extreme in this
battle.
Turn #1:
= Janus will cast "Proton Beak" hurting you badly. As you cannot predict
the victim, just let everybody shoot to get yourself some FP
Turn #2:
= Janus will use "Dark Spear.... a pretty regular attack on one target
Turn #3:
= Make sure everybody is full HP and not a single HP less. Both Virginia
and Jet should be at 25 FP by now. Virginia is the only one faster than
Janus, so she can mystic a healing item if you need. If you think
Virginia won't do enough, Jet can do a little extra with "Accelerator".
= Don't do any attacks. If Janus counters any of those you got yourself a
dead one.
= Janus will do "Negative Rainbow" putting everybody to 1 HP
If you survive that all the battle is over, and the party will go out of
the dungeon on the other side.
You are practically out of VIT now, so don't push it on the way to the next
stop: Little Rock
CH200000006
=============================================================================
City: Little Rock
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv16; Clive Lv16; Jet lv16; Gallows lv16
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= When leaving the Sand Canal follow the south edge to the west
= At the end follow it to the north
= When you reach the dead end search
=============================================================================
Overview:
First of all you want to visit the inn here to rest (after what Janus did
to you, you practically have to)
Another nice thing to note is that the people searching for Pike during
Jet's prologue are living here. Having Jet to talk to them will get you
different replies than when you speak to them with any other character.
The innkeeper, Von has the "Listen" feature which is just a list of all
music you heard so far.
And so far this silly overview :)
=============================================================================
- = Speak to Kovahn (Guy in yellow in the west of town), and he'll tell you
about a shrine in bad condition. That's your cue for the next dungeon.
= Leave town after you've done your business here.

Dungeon: Glimmering Emblem
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv16; Clive Lv16; Jet lv16; Gallows lv16
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= HobGob
= Fairylight
Bosses:
= Mono-eye Titan
= Hecto-eye Titan
=============================================================================
New Guardian
= Stare Roe (Flash Hit)
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= East
= As soon as you can north
= When you are past the second beach, search
=============================================================================
Overview:
This dungeon contains 2x two wings.
In the first part both wings need to be completed (in random order) in
order to proceed to the next part, there you'll also have to complete 2
wings in random order and that you can advance to fight two bosses and
obtain the guardian.
The puzzles are not really hard, the random encounters here are terrible.
One encounter is enough to deplete your VIT bars by 78% at least, if you
are unlucky, and "unlucky" is a pretty likely scenario here. There no
dungeon (not even the final dungeon) where things can go this bad. On the
flip side, the location and setup of this dungeon does allow you to go to
town easily to rest. Right?
The the high difficulty rate of the random encounters makes it almost
embarrassing when you see how easy the bosses here are.
=============================================================================
PART ONE:
001: = Up the stairs west
= Exit West
PART ONE, WEST WING:
002: = GALLOWS: Send out the Steady Doll to push the block away from

you'll see the same will happen to the blocks on the east side
of the room).

PART TWO, WEST WING:
010: Another dual move block puzzle, but this one is a tiny bit
harder

cross that bridge
= Down the stairs
= Of this set of three blocks, move the most eastern one south
x7
= Now push it east (this will open the exit)
= North
= Pull the east block south x4
= Pull the west block east, and push it east
= Pull it south x1, then PUSH it south x3
= Cross the bridge you just formed
= Exit North
011: = GALLOWS: Use the Steady Doll to kick both blocks to the lowest
level
= OPTIONAL: GALLOWS: You can use the steady doll to claim the

= South, at the end east and cross the bridge
= Exit East
012: = Flip the switch North
= Drop off South-East
= Exit South
009: = Up the ladder east
= Exit East
PART TWO, EAST WING
013: = Go to the south-east part of this room
= Move the block all the way west till it hits the east "wall"
= Pull it north twice
= Exit East
014: Another mirror puzzle. You know the drill, but they did put in a
little extra this time
= VIRGINIA: Light the torches North-West, Center and South-East
(on the south side of the glass)
= Go to the three crates south

Gallows will not obtain the Flash Hit Medium for you (and I recommend to
give it to Virginia).
After that a boss battle starts.

My levels: Virginia Lv16; Clive Lv16; Jet lv16; Gallows lv16
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Dark Matter
= Dark attack one target
- Eyeball
= Melee Attack
=============================================================================
Well you got yourself a new medium, let's put it to the test :)
Equip the medium on Virginia (yes you can do that while in combat) and let
her go crazy with the "Spectre" spell all the time and don't do anything
else.
Clive and Jet should just attack and Gallows should be on healing.
Keep this up, and this battle is over soon
=============================================================================
017: Please note that the gimel coins do not work now until the next
boss has been defeated (that boss is easy though).
= Exit North
018: = Move forward and examine the "Big Thingamajig"...
= Exit South
BOS00000019
+---------
| Boss:
+----------------
| Hecto-eye Titan
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv16; Clive Lv17; Jet lv16; Gallows lv17
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Dark Matter
= Darkness attack one target or the entire party (also used to counter)
- Eyeball
= Melee Attack (rarely used)
=============================================================================
Well, this boss is eeeeasy....
I call this one, the suicidal boss. :)
Here's the rub. Have the Flash Hit medium on Virginia and make her attack a
few times. The boss will counter everything, so have Gallows to aggressive
heal her. Keep this up until she has 36 FP
In the meantime I made Clive guard and Jet (who has Celesdue equipped and
[Dark] Ward maxed out) attack.
When Virginia has 36 FP, the party can begin. Cast "Reflect" on Clive and
make him attack like crazy. Please note the spell wears off after 2 or 3
turns so you gotta renew this spell all the time. What will happen? The
boss counters like crazy and his spells will bounce back on it, plus with
the extra bonus that this boss is weak against its own spells.
Cast Reflect on the others as well, and keep renewing it when it wears off
and very soon this boss will die by its own hands... well... hands in
metaphorically speaking of course :P
Nice thing to note, *if* the reflecting of his own spell causes the killing
blow, you'll score a Dark Gem, an item normally not supposed to be scored
at this stage of the game. Treasure it :)
=============================================================================
Killing this boss concludes this dungeon.
For the next dungeon you first need to go to Little Rock and as the
townspeople.
CH200000008
=============================================================================
Dungeon: Layline Observatory
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Cursed Corpse
Bosses:
= Asgard
=============================================================================
New Tool:
= Radar (Jet)
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= First you must have asked Goodwin (a guy in Little Rock) about "Leylines"
and he'll reveal the the location of this place, which is your next lead
= Go to the Glimmering Emblem (but don't enter.
= From here head west (east of the peak on your way you can find Doomed to
Obsurity. Jet's prologue dungeon)
= Go past the peak and follow the edge and keep searching to find it
somewhere here.
=============================================================================
Overview:
This is a dungeon of revelation. Most of all a few about Jet, and another
man who has been shrouded in mystery since the very start of the game.
Before all that, you'll first have a long way to go. First of all you can
get the "Radar" here, an optional tool for Jet.
Next, when it comes to puzzles, it resolves most of all on two passwords
you have to find. Please note all passwords in this game are CASE
SENSITIVE, meaning that upper and lower case must be given up exactly the
same way as I type it here in my FAQ.
The boss is awful. Hard is not the right word. Just awful. It's a long an
boring fight so I hope you've a can of coffee standing next to you. You're
gonna NEED it.
=============================================================================
001: Exit North
002: Hit the first exit west
003: = OPTIONAL: Score heal berries and a lucky card with the
treasure chests here
= OPTIONAL: On the west wall, second locker from the North
contains the Radar tool
=============================================================================
NEW TOOL: RADAR
The Radar scans the entire area for treasure. If one or more are
found, you'll hear some bleeps and when the spot in in sight
you'll see a mark on the treasure.A green mark gives a treasure
that is safe to take, a red mark indicates you gotta fight a
mimic first before obtaining the treasure.In some cities you can
see some animals getting marked. For the time being that has no
meaning, you need Virginia's final tool to make use of that, so
I'll explain the workings about that by then.One note to those
who played Alter Code F, Wild Arms 4 or 5. All the Radar does is
detecting treasure. It will NOT reveal secret passages or
objects. This makes obtaining this tool completely optional.
=============================================================================
= Exit East
002: Hit the east exit halfway the corridor
004: = Examine the panel up North
= Password: Inkapilia
= Exit West
002: Go North, and hit the exit east at the end
005: = OPTIONAL: West exit leads to Magiccleanser x3 and Call Whistle
x3. In one of the cabinets a Dragon fossil is hidden
= At the end of the corridor exit South
007: = Search the table in the south-east to find an ID Card (you can
use the radar to pinpoint it, but you don't have to)
= Exit North
005: Use the ID card on the panel to the east and hit the door beside
it
008: = OPTIONAL: South exit leads to Gimel Coin, 4500 Gella, Gella
Card
= OPTIONAL: West exit leads to Holy Ankh (mimic), Dragon Fossil
= Hit the northern exit East
011: The party will dissolve for a brief moment and everybody will
stand in this room. You only have control over Virginia for this
brief period.
= Examine all computers and read the story about Adam Kadmon.
Memorize that story as the identity of Adam will be revealed
at the end of Chapter 3, and is pretty important as that
revelation will explain a lot.
= Now speak to Jet and he'll open a secret passage for you
(though he doesn't understand why he knows about the passage).
After this the party reunites.
= Hit the door Jet just opened
012: Go north, exit North
013: = Examine the panel to the east
= Password: Guiding Word
= Exit North
014: = Examine the picture on the table to the East
= Now use the "Right Half" (which you obtained during Virginia's
prologue) and you'll find out the picture matches
Okay, rude note. One guy did spam me for months in the past
about "Where to find the Right Half?". It's in your inventory,
and it's impossible to get up to this point withing having that
thing without cheating. I hate putting people in the "hall of
shame", but that guy was very extremely annoying. So once again,
search your inventory and you'll find that damn thing!
BOS0000001A

| Golem:
+----------------
| Asgard
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv17; Clive Lv17; Jet lv18; Gallows lv17
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Barrier Knuckle
= Melee Attack
- High Power Barrier Erected
= Invicibility (unless you are extremely overlevelled).
=============================================================================
I hope you have a can of coffee ready, as this will take awhile.
First of all, make sure Virginia has the Flash Hit and make her build up to
24 FP. She's too weak to hurt Asgard, but that doesn't matter, just get her
to 24 FP.
Now make her cast Valliant on Clive and let him shoot, and heal him as
little as possible and Clive will do quite some damage. The lower Clive's
health is, the more damage he does tanks to Valliant. When the spell wears
off, just cast it on him again. Please note, don't let Clive die, so when
he's about to heal him, just enough to survive the next attack.
Every once in a while Asgard will erect a high power barrier, making him
completely invincible (unless you are 20 levels or so overlevelled at
least, or when you attack while under Valliant with very little HP).
If you think you can handle it, you might wanna Valliant Jet as well and
allow him to go to little HP, this speed things up a little.
In general this battle is easy... Just time eating, that's all.
=============================================================================
Beating this boss concludes this dungeon. You'll get a high load of
scenario, and you'll end up on the world map.
Clive will suggest to visit his hometown Humphrey's Peak.
CH200000009
=============================================================================
City: Humphrey's Peak
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv18; Clive Lv18; Jet lv18; Gallows lv18
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= Follow the southern edge to the east
= Cross the bridge
= Go south and follow the edge
= Search the area around the beach
=============================================================================
Overview:
A nice casual town. You'll meet Clive's wife and daughter here, and you'll
have some scenario to dig through here as well.
=============================================================================
- Enter Clive's house (blue roof) to meet Clive's family.
- = Sit out the scenario
= When you have control over the game again look at the "Taped Photo"
that you should now have in your inventory.
After this you can leave town.
The next two dungeons can be taken on in random order. It's up to you which
order you go for, I'll just handle them in the order in which I took them
on.
Also, even though it was available from the very moment you bought your
horses, this is a very fine moment to take the sidequest that allows you to
start the secret garden. See the sidequests section for more information.
In order to get in the region, when you talk to Clive's daugher with
anybody except Clive you can find a railway station (you needed to do that
for the next two dungeons anyway).
What is also unlocked now is the boss Diobarg
Unlike what most people believe this boss is NOT optional, and as that one
is easy and running around the luck temple, I just take the oppertunity to
do it right now.
CH20000000A
=============================================================================
Sub-Quest: Diobarg
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv21; Clive Lv21; Jet lv22; Gallows lv21
=============================================================================
This is a boss that roams around in the Dune Canyon regeon. Unlike popular
belief this boss is NOT optional, many people believe that as it drops 15
Dragon Fossils. You need those 15 fossils to get the Sandcraft Vehicle, and
once you obtained that craft the fossils can drop at random.
To find it go to the railway station and buy a ticket to Dune Canyon
(there's one near Humphrey's Peak, but you cannot find it until Clive
daughter tells you where it is, which she'll do when you speak to her with
anybody except Clive.
In order to leave the station at Dune Canyon you need to speak with the
ticket attendant and choose chat and he'll tell you about Diobarg.
Now use a "Call Whistle" (you can buy those at Roykman's) to call your
horses and mount them. Now keep riding around the land until the boss comes
in the same manner as a regular random encounter. Please note should you
encounter it while you are not mounted, the battle will immediately end,
you must be mounted on horses. The boss will always come with a GREEN
exclamation mark!

| Diobarg
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv21; Clive Lv21; Jet lv22; Gallows lv21
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Ram
= Attack
- Paralysis Byte
= Does nothing at all since you are riding a horse
=============================================================================
This is the only boss you'll encounter while riding on horses, and it's a
ridiculously easy one too.
He has several nasty status changes to put on you, but while riding on
horses you're immune to all of them.
Letting Virginia use Mystic + Lucky Card on the party, and using a Gella
Card (without Mystic) on him is a good idea. This guy gives quite a lot of
EXP + Gella for a boss in this stage of the game.
So attack when you can, and heal if you must. One (minor) setback is that
when you are mounted you cannot do mellee attacks so you MUST reload
whenever you get out of ammo.
Other than that.... Just go for it, this one is hardly worth mentioning.

Dungeon: Fortune Gear

My levels: Virginia Lv21; Clive Lv21; Jet lv22; Gallows lv21
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Critter
Bosses:
= Olivier
= Janus
=============================================================================
How to get there:
Go with the train to Dune Station (when going from Humphrey's Peak, there's
a station west from there. It will only appear when Clive's daughter
revealed it's location to anybody except Clive).
When you leave the station (you may need to "Chat" with the ticket clerk)
Once on the world map, it's all the way east
=============================================================================
Overview:
This is pretty straightforward dungeon with two bosses.
Not much to tell about it, aside that the puzzles are based on the game
Memory.
=============================================================================
001: Exit North
002: = OPTIONAL: Up the stairs is a duplicator door, it leads to a
Growth Egg. The black chest there will tell you how many
treasures you collected. Once you collected them all it will
turn into an optional boss.
= Exit North (lower exit) :P
004: = OPTIONAL: In the far north-east you can bomb the east wall to
obtain: Gella Card x2, Gimel Coin, Migrant Seal (duplicator)
= Follow the road and exit West
006: This is just a game of memory, and too bad I cannot tell you a
solution as it changes by each playthrough. Just activate the
spheres and find the matching colors. Please note, if you try
randomly all the time without memorizing stuff sooner or later
the puzzle will reshuffle.
When you solved the puzzle exit west
007: = West
= OPTIONAL: North exit = 5000 Gella, Adventure 2, Lucky Card x3
= Exit South
009: Another memory puzzle. Just like before I cannot give a solution
as it differs all the time, and to up the stacks, some tiles are
lose and you'll fall through them when you step on them, unless
you tiptoe (cancel button)
When you solved the puzzle exit East
BOS0000001C
+---------
| Boss:
+----------------
| Olivier
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv21; Clive Lv21; Jet lv22; Gallows lv21
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Prohibited Play
= Poisons one target
= Also used as counterattack
- Bwaaaaaaaaaargh!
= Disease over entire party
=============================================================================
This guy is a master of poison and disease, and don't even think about
curing that, as it's just a waste of effort.
When somebody is badly injured and diseased, then you should let Virginia
cast "Clearance" and have Gallows to follow up with heal, but other than
that, don't bother.
This means that you should be healing aggressively. Most of the damage is
done through the poison, so that makes things somewhat easier.
=============================================================================
010: Exit East
011: = GALLOWS: Freeze three objects, whatever they are
= Stand on the forth
= Exit East
012: = Follow the corridor
= OPTIONAL: YOu can bump the switch on the west wall next to the
north exit to open a side way south which leads to: Call
Whistle x3, Gimel Coin and Duplicator x2
= Exit North
014: This Memory Puzzle has it all fixed, but once you open one
sphere you got only 1.5 seconds or so to open the other. This is
a job for Gallows.
= Stand beside the most south-west sphere
= GALLOWS: Use the steady doll to activate the one straight
north and then the one east of you (green)
= A bit north and the ones you get between are both yellow. Hit
them both (Steady Doll should not be needed, but you never
know)
= Go to the east side of the eastern yellow
= Open the south sphere (red) and use the steady doll on the
sphere east (doing that in reverse order can also work)
= Go to the southern sphere from here
= GALLOWS: Use the steady doll on the northern one (blue) and
hit the one you're at
= Exit North
(Possibly the colors are diffrent than described here, but the solution is
always the same)
015: Go past the Chock and exit North

Abilities:

= Mellee attack (200+ damage)
- Proton Beam
= Major damage on one target
- Negative Rainbos
= Damage entire party
=============================================================================
Well, Janus is all powered up with the guardian's power. Oh, just cast
"Eraser" and it's all dispelled.
After being weakened by that eraser spell you still need to watch out, but
it basically gets a attack when you can and heal if you must fight.
=============================================================================
Winning concludes this dungeon.
You'll obtain the Lucky and which I suggest to give to Clive.
If you didn't already do it I suggest you beat Diobarg now.
For any other business, you'll need to go to Humphrey's Peak from here.

Dungeon: Gemstone Cave
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Rock Baboon
= Hodac
Boss:
= The Schrodinger Family
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= Call your horses to Humphrey's Peak with a call whistle
= Ride north and jump over the gorge
= Go to the far end and search the hill
=============================================================================
Overview:
You're going here with research in mind, but as this place is full of gems
you'll be coming in touch with this game's magpie, Maya Schrodinger, and of
course due to the rivalry between her and Virginia you'll get into much
misunderstanding, so Maya will annoy you once more eventually you'll get
into fighting.
The enemies can be a littlebit easy. There are two tribes of enemies here
and they hate each other, so in stead of fighting you, they'll attempt to
kill each other first before targetting you. Abuse that fact :)
Please note, you'll have two goes through this place during the game, and
one wall you can bomb leads to a section that is right now utterly
worthless, so I won't mention it, so no mails stating my FAQ's incomplete,
ok :P
=============================================================================
001: = Go down the ramps
= Exit North-East
002: Follow the way, exit East
003: Hello Maya.... Good to see you again..... NOT!
= OPTIONAL: CLIVE: Bomb the rocks under the bridge Maya was on
to score 5000 Gella
= Go up the east ramp and hit the exit there
004: Make your way up and hit the upper exit west
003: Cross the bridge and exit west
002: Exit North
005: Maya will put a rock in your way.
Perhaps you remember how you defeated Trask. This rock works the
same way (I told ya that puzzle would come back).
= VIRGINIA: Throw a high-load of thindercrests into the rock and
the rock will shine bright-red
= GALLOWS: Freeze the rock and it should crack becoming back
You have to do this very fast, if the rock doesn't become black
you failed, but you can try this again endlessly. Keep on trying
until it works.
= CLIVE: Bomb it with many bombs in succesion
= Hit the exit
006: (Ignore the bomb wall west. It leads to a section currently
useless, that comes in your second run here during chapter 3).
= Exit east
009: Follow the road and hit the exit
010: As soon as you get here, Maya will kick you into the sinkhole
012: = Go East
= Up the ramp
= OPTIONAL: Drop off west to claim a lucky card, then drop off
to start this room over
= Exit North
011: Make your way up and exit south
010: = Go straight south, avoiding the pits
= When you are south, jump into the pit directly west from you
012: You should now be on the higher platform. Follow the way east
and you'll see Maya being frustrated. Just ignore her and hit
the exit.
013: = OPTIONAL: Straight East you can score a Heal Berry x2
= Proceed North to the exit and Maya will catch up with you.

books, and this time she turned herself into a witch, meaning she'll use
all sorts of magic tricks on you.
This makes this fight significantly harder than the one you fought before
as Maya will hit everybody with her spells, and to make sure her party
won't be the target of spells she'll cast reflect on herself and her
buddies.
Once again, all that matters is getting Maya down. Get her out of HP and
you won the battle, however, as before Todd will always heal her (and
Alfred) regardless if it's her turn or not.
As a matter of fact Alfred, Todd and Shady use exactly the same fighting
technique as before, it's only Maya herself who has changed.
Like before you want to remove Todd first, as he's still the most dangerous
one with his confusion moves, especially in combination with Maya's spells,
not to mention that striking Maya down as long as Todd is in battle is
impossible anyway.
Like before you can set Todd's afro on fire with a fire spell. To be 100%
sure it would be reflected by Maya, you do best to summon the fire guardian
as that's your only fire magic that can't be reflected (this will hit Maya
and Alfred too, causing Todd to instantly heal Maya).
You should have as much FP as you can have on both Virginia and Gallows, as
Maya is now able to target the entire party, you may have to either Mystic
or Extend a lot.
What makes this fight a little easier is that you have the "Clearance"
spell at your disposal so you can cure the confusion Todd causes.
When you manage to remove Todd, the battle is much easier, even with Maya's
magic, as Alfred and Shady are not a real threat. It's up to you if you
want to take down Alfred and Shady too or not, you will gain some extra
experience of you do though, and once Todd is out, you can spare a Mystic
for a Lucky Card too :)
=============================================================================
Winning this fight will conclude this dungeon, and you'll also score a
duplicator.
If you did the Glimmering Emblem already the story will continue in
Humphrey's Peak, if you didn't do it, go do it first.

= Vaccumon
Bosses:
= Asgard and Melody

=============================================================================
New Tool:
= Might Gloves (Clive)
=============================================================================
How to get there:
South-east of the railroad near Humphrey's peak.
You must have completed both Gemstone Cave and Glimmering Emblem before you
can unlock this dungeon by speaking to the guy next to the memory figure in
Humphrey's Speak
=============================================================================
Overview:
This dungeon is terrible, and that's not because of the puzzles, as they
are not hard at all.
It's because of the random encounters. The "Unknown" enemies (yes, it's
really their name) will continuously turn you to bronze and can only be hit
by magic, and the Vaccumons are annoying because of "Grav" or they'll cast
"Eject" teleporting you back to the start of the dungeon. I hope I cannot
take those Eject spells into account, I really hope you can just avoid
those.
You basically want to cancel all encounters here if possible.
The boss fights are not really cool either. Asgard will be here and this
time Melody fights with him, and that's a pretty deadly combination. When
you win that fight you'll fight Asgard again, but that fight is much
easier.
You need to be well prepared and have at least one Potion Berry before
fighting Asgard and Melody together, but more is really recommendable.

NEW TOOL: MIGHTY GLOVES
Clive can use this tool to pick up heavy blocks. He cannot walk while he's
carrying such a block, but he can put it down into any direction.There are
also blocks Clive won't pick up, but he'll push them in stead. Such blocks
will keep moving until they either fall off or are blocked by something
else.Why they had to make Clive's hands glowing is beyond me. Frankly it
annoys me.
=============================================================================
Now you will get a Vacuumon. You have 1 turn to beat it, if you succeed,
nothing wrong, if you don't succeed it will cast "Eject" and you'll be back
at the entrance.
On success, exit north, and drop off, on failure, exit north and hit the
elevator.
(Best way to succeed. Virginia use "Thunder Gem", Gallows cast "Inspire")

one you picked up and put it on the one you moved last, and so
you can make your entire way north.

My levels: Virginia Lv24; Clive Lv25; Jet lv25; Gallows lv24
=============================================================================
Abilities Asgard:
- Barrier Flood
= 500+ Damage on entire party
- Auto Defender
= Whenever Melody is attacks, Asgard will take the damage in stead.
- High-Power Barrier erected
= Raises defense to invincible unless you are overlevelled or in
"Valliant" mode with little HP (going for that is too risky with Melody
helping him tough).
Abilities Melody:
- Eliminate Scanner
= Attack one target
=============================================================================
The basic flow of this battle is that Asgard will start this fight alone.
He'll do a supermove dealing a lot of damage. Then Melody will join the
fight.
Asgard's way of fighting will be the same as on your first encounter with
him, Melody will only cast "Eliminate Scanner" on a random target. You
cannot attack Melody, whenever you do she'll swap places with Asgard and
he'll take the blow in Melody's stead.
When you deal enough damage to Asgard, he'll use Wide Barrier to kill you
all and when that happens this fight counts as "won" though you won't gain
experience for it, but it only counts when Asgard does "Wide Barrier", when
your party gets wiped any moment sooner the battle counts as lost.
You won't get experience or Gella in this fight, so using Lucky Cards or
Gella Cards is senseless.
To win this fight you must have 1 Potion Berry at least, but more is
preferable. Allow Asgard his barrier flood in the first turn, and in turn 2
Virginia MUST mystic a potion berry.
After that things are hard to predict as both Asgard and Melody will do
things pretty randomly but when you heal agressively, you can pretty much
keep it up, but as Asgard goes crazy with his high barrier, this fight can
take a pretty long while.
Casting Valliant on both Clive and Jet will help a lot, but please note,
that you cannot let your HP go too low, with Melody helping that is far too
risky. Not that her attacks are that strong, but strong enough to kill you
if you take too much risks.
Keep this up until Asgard will cast his "Wide Barrier" to end this fight.

This time Melody won't join the fight, but Asgard fights more agressively
to make it up for that fact, but as he has less HP this time.
You are on an HP Down status, so your max HP has lowered a bit, but that's
of minor concequence. Asgard's accuracy is low, so except for Gallows (who
has a dodge rate of a rock) it's very likely your characters will dodge
most attacks.
=============================================================================
Winning this fight concludes this dungeon.
Now go back to the guy who gave you this mission in Humphrey's Peak, and
he'll request you go visit Lamium in the Ark of Destiny.
In order to get at the Ark of Destiny you require a Sandcraft, you can
obtain one from the ARMS girl in Jolly Roger, but only in exchange for 15
dragon fossils. The only way to get that much prior to getting the
sandcraft is by defeating Diobarg. Read the section about him earlier in
this FAQ how to find an kill him.
And one more note before you leave Humphrey's Peak. You can rest for free
when you speak to Clive's wife. As your VIT bars are broke now, I suggest
you do that!!!

it will now be docked outside town. Leave town and board it
Please note that combat on a Sandcraft is COMPLETELY different from normal
combat. Please read the combat section for more information.

Overview:
This is the home of an order that appears a bit religeous, though they
don't put their faith in a god.
The place will play an important role in the game, and the leader, Lamium,
will hire you a lot throughout the game.
This place also contains some cool optional stuff, so it's really a place
to seek out.
For now I'll focus in the main stuff, and leave the cellar full of bonusses
for the sidequest section.

???: Exit North

plotline of the game. Hear him out.
When he mentions a girl he dreams about, hear him out, that girl
is gonna be important, so you want to know more about her!
Well, when you're told an excavation site of the Ark's is
invaded by "a vagarious young woman, a boy with explosives, a
stuffed animal-like cat and a vicious looking man with an afro".
I don't need to tell you who those people are.
And so you got yourself hired again.

=============================================================================
Overview:
This is the first disappearing dungeon, this means this dungeon will
disappear from the map permanently once you completed it.
Important to know about disappearing dungeons is that the monsters
disappear forever with it, but there's no monster list anyway, and thus
there's no "monster island" like in WA2 either.
All treasure chests in disappearing dungeons contain key items only, but
there can be some optional treasure hidden in crates and barrels, if you
want them use your radar to locate them :)
On this particular dungeon, this one has a nice twist. Of course you'll
meet Maya, but this time you have to work together with her. Maya will be
controlled by the computer and you have to do your part on your own.
When you cooperated with Maya in three puzzles you'll meet a boss, a bit
lateron you get to fight Maya and her family again, and this time as a
fighting artist.
When you beat Maya and her team, you'll have a time limit to get out of the
dungeon. The time will tick away too during combat (but not during the
entering of turns) so you need to plan your fights well, or even better,
skip all random encounters during that time limit :)
Ready? Go!

Bosses in this form... just a bunch of powered up random monsters will be
encountered a lot during the game. In fact I really blame the game makers
for being extremely lazy on the boss design of this episode of Wild Arms,
as it's pretty amateuristic. Oh well, I'm not here to review this game, I'm
here to tell you how to defeat these four.
Well none of the bosses like these (four powered up random monsters) are
hard and in need of a deep insight explanation. Kill them in any order you
want and make sure you heal in time.
As the Flier can dispell everything its senseless to cast powerup spells,
but then again, you don't NEED them anyway. Think of it like a random
encounter with the only difference that the monsters have a tiny bit more
HP, that's all there's to it.

= Up the stairs
= VIRGINIA: Light the torch and proceed east
= Stand South-East of the next torch
= VIRGINIA: Light the torch from here
= Proceed west (it Maya leaves her spot too early (which can happen due
to a bug), the puzzle fails. If you drop off the puzzle resets). When
you are too slow, you're messed up too.
= When you're standing on the barrier, drop off west from it (ONLY WHEN
YOU'RE STANDING ON THE BARRIER!!!)

= Hit the switch
= Drop off in any direction

- Follow the corridor and exit East
- = Follow the corridor
= OPTIONAL: tThe Crates contain a Lucky Card and a Gimel Coin

- Maya helps, puzzle #3:
This puzzle sucks and will frustrate the hell outta you.
When Viriginia lights the first torch, the spiked blocks will move. When
they touch you or Maya the puzzle will reset, and you'll have the start
over. Gallows however can use the Freezer Doll to slow them down, so use
that.
Now, just light all torches and switch immediately to Gallows to slow
down both blocks. Keep this up till the end. However to up the stacks,
Maya will try to goof off at the end and leave you to die. Virginia will
automatically convice her to let you out, but this costs extra time, time
in which the spiked blocks can get you.
When you made it, exit North

Abilities Humpty:
- Shield
= Shield himself or ally
- Protect
= Raises magic resistance to himself or ally
- Reflect
= Reflects all offensive magic back to the caster
- Full Recovery
= Heals Dumpty to 100% health
Abilities Dumpty:
- Volcannon Trap
= Fire attack to all
- Maelstrom
= Water attack to all
- Crack Tremor
= Earth attack to all
- Storm Blade
= Wind attack to all
- Phantom Hazard
= Dark attack to all
=============================================================================
These two are terrible.
Humpty will only use powerup spells and if Dumpty is wounded too badly
Humpty will heall it fully.
Dumpty will only hurt the entire group with a spell of a random element.
There is a way to get rid of Dumpty first, but the game makers didn't
intend for you to do that, and it easily fails, which is, having Virginia,
Jet an Clive on 100 FP, and make a total of 4 shots on Dumpty or so (maybe
less), then let Virginia summon Stare Roe (Flash Hit), Gallows should then
use a Light gem on Dumpty and Clive and Jet both Gatling. But as I said
this method is risky and the slightest unexpected thing will cause Humpty
to heal Dumpty missing everything up.
So, you'll need to aim fully for Humpty first, and have all your characters
in full at any skill you have that wards off elemental attacks and heal
aggresively. Don't shy out to let Virginia mystic a potion berry, but only
do so when you have several characters dangerously low on HP (and if
Virginia is below 25 FP use a mini-carrot on her).
If only one character is getting dangerously low on HP, then use a potion
berry on that person.
I hope you've been growing Potion Berries in the Secret Garden and havested
20 at least or so, or you'll be in big trouble.

=============================================================================
This battle against the Schrodinger Family is easier than your last one.
This time you need to strike them all down, and the order is up to you.
Todd won't instantly heal Maya or Alfred when they get hurt, but he now
uses his healing spell on random occasions.
Maya's new setup is a laugh, however she can still hurt you, so be healing
aggresively. Though you can win this fight without going for Todd first, I
still recommend to strike him down first. His confusion moves are still a
big disaster, so you want to get rid of that as soon as possible.
As soon as you downed Todd (or anyone else) Maya will make a comment, just
ignore that.
When Todd's out this battle is much easier and will only get easier by each
person you remove from battle. None of the three is really dangerous, but
Alfred deals the least damage, so that's why I personally prefer to leave
him for last. Maya or Shady hardly matters, but Maya deals a bit more
damage, so Maya first, then Shady then Alfred is the most obvious order.

Overview:
This is the fourth and thus final guardian shrine. Here you can obtain the
guardian Dan Dairam, but of course, before you get that far, you need to do
some stuff.
Nearly all puzzles are based on clockwork gears (how obvious considering
what kind of place this is). You need to time some puzzles just right or
you'll fall down, so prepare to be annoyed.
You will meet one of the Prophets halfaway sending a monster to you, and
that monster is hot (in the most litteral sense).
There are two battles here against Asgard. They are both diffrent from your
usual battles against him. The first one is an eye-for-an-eye battle, and
the other is an endurance fight in which Gallows won't take part. Both
battles are pretty easy.

This is by far the easiest fight against Asgard. He won't do anything but
countering your attacks.
Cast Valliant on Clive and Clive and Clive alone should attack, with
Gallows healing him if Clive's HP gets dangerously low. When you feel like
Asgard is going to far, just cease your attacks heal up first and resume
the battle. This is very easy. :)

=============================================================================
How to get there:
Read my overview, and FAQ routes.
=============================================================================
Overview:
This is a pretty odd dungeon. It has two entrances, and they both lead to
their own section of this dungeon, and you need to do both sections before
you can proceed to the main section.
Both sections start with a fight against a boss called "Nidhogg" then
contain some puzzles and end with a switch. Both switches will unlock the
main section.
The main section that comes after two subsections is where Virginia will
obtain her second tool the Gale Crest, and I suppose you already guessed
that lots of puzzles will allow you to try out that new toy.
At the end of the dungeon you'll fight Leehalt, but don't worry, he's easy.
When you win that fight Leehalt will attempt to kill Virginia (don't worry,
she'll survive), and that will have a concequence for the dungeon that
comes after that as Virginia will have a little handicap, but more about
that once you actually reached that point.
The dungeon ends with a fight with Balazs, he's nasty, but there's a trick
to that.
=============================================================================
CH200000015
WEST SECTION
WM: = To get there you can best board your Sandcraft from Infinitum
or Baskar and head straight north
= Keep going North when you can and west if you must
= When you reached the north of the circle (it's north-west on
the map you bought from Roykman), you may find a beach to the
north, dock there
= Up the ramp and go east
= Search the woods and you'll find it.

This guy is most of all a master of confusion attacks, so he'll go crazy
with it. it's weak to both Darkness and Light, but as Darkness is not yet
available as a spell (maybe in gems, but I recommend not to waste them),
light will have to do.
The boss will waste most turns on confusion and misery attacks. Cure
confusion as it comes if you can, and also cure Virginia and Gallows from
Misery. Other than that this fight is easy.
=============================================================================
001: Exit South
002: Follow the corridor and exit south
Here are two ways. Quick way and treasure way.
QUICK WAY:

platform south of the block already below

= Up the higher platform
= All the way south and cross the blocks
= OPTIONAL: Claim the chest
= Exit South
007: Pull the lever
That is the end of the West section. If you did the east section already
you can proceed to the main section, if not you'll have to do the east
section first. If that's the case go all the way back, leave the dungeon,
and read on with the east section.

WM: You can have your Sandcraft best at Jolly Roger to get there.
Board your Sandcraft from there. If it's parked anywhere else
you can press the tool button (square by default) to auto-pilot
to Jolly Roger

MAIN SECTION
In case you didn't find out yet, in order to do this section you must have
done Nidhogg Pass - East Section (CH200000016) and Nidhogg Pass - West

NEW TOOL: Gale Crest
When you use this tool, Virginia will transform into a gust of
wind and quickly move forward, she'll ignore traps, and she can
get over narrow pits with this.Downside of this tool is that she
won't stop until she hits a wall or when she tries to get over a
wide pit, as she'll still fall into that.I guess I don't need to
tell you that as soon as she stops, she'll retake her human form
again :P
=============================================================================
014: Exit East
013: You can immediately try out Virginia's new toy.

Crest and take a look what happens :)

if I don't have to, just move a little east and use the Gale
Crest to warp yourself over.
= After you fell down breaking the Gale Crest's course, go west

= If Virginia didn't already exit west by due to the Gale Crest,
do it yourself.
018: = OPTIONAL: VIRGINIA: Warp over the center road north to claim a
Potion Berry and an Amulet, and warp back south (with warp I
mean, use the Gale Crest)

the way South

then to the west

=============================================================================
Leehalt does nothing at all during this entire fight unless you attack
them, then he'll cast the spell "Rule of Vengeance" to do the same damage
to you as you did to him.
My method to kill him is cheesy, time requiring, but the safest way to get
past him.
Only let Virginia do the attacking, as she deals least damage, she'll get
least damage in return. Let Gallows heal her up. Never cast any spells AND
ESPECIALLY NO GATLING OR SUMMONS, just normal attacks. When Virginia gets
in danger, just cease your attack and take your time to heal.
Just relax... Takes forever, but will get you through this fight easily,
and he WILL yield eventually.
Clive and Jet should just guard throughout this entire fight.

=============================================================================
Only Virginia can do something here. In turn #1 she should cast Valliant on
herself. The boys could maybe use mini carrots on her to make sure she's
full FP.
Balazs will cast Outer World for three turns, and only Virginia is fast
enough to beat that in speed. After those three turns, let Virginia use
Gatling (with full ammo) and this should kill Balazs.
=============================================================================
Due to Leehalt's attempt to kill Virginia you are still suffering from the
side effects of his poison.
As a result Virginia's VIT bar is completely depleted and cannot recover
from resting or taking VIT crystals. Virginia will remain in this condition
until the next dungeon (Yggdrasil) has been completed.
After a long part of scenario you'll gain control again over the game in
Green Lodge, a small hut near Yggdrasil. You can rest here and there's also
a savespot here.
When you are ready to go, leave and head for Yggdrasil.

=============================================================================
Overview:
This is the final dungeon of chapter 2 and also the largest one of this
chapter.
There are many puzzles here of which a few pretty hard.
As this is the home base of the Prophets, it's only obvious you'll
encounter all three of them here. Throughout the dungeon you'll get them
first one by one, and right after beating Leehalt, Janus will come, and be
glad, this is your final battle against Janus.
At the end of this dungeon you'll fight all three the Prophets at once. I
can reveal already that's not the last you'll hear of them (too bad), but
things are going to change in the plot around them.
When you win the last battle against the prophets you completed this
dungeon and the entire chapter.
=============================================================================

Abilities:
- Venom Strike
= Poisons one character
=============================================================================
I nicknamed Melody "Miss Venom" because of this praticular fight. Maybe she
is the girl that Alice Cooper was referring about in that famous song of
his ;)
Anyway, all that Melody can do in this fight is poison a random character
and counterattack all attacks by poisoning the one who attacked her. If you
have your entire party shielded against poison you're very cool as then
Melody is completely helpless against you, but that is very extremely hard
to accomplish at this stage of the game.
Melody has also shielded herself to nullify the first 350 damage points
from your attacks, this makes that Virginia and Gallows cannot hurt her at
all, and Jet depends on how well you worked him out. In short, Clive on the
attack and the others on curing poison.
I had the Fiery Rage on Clive, so I could shield him against poison, and so
ready to go. Virginia with the Flash hit on curing poison, Gallows with
Aqua Wisp on healing and Jet... he's just useless in this fight.

This battle is plainly insane. Of course the first thin you must do is to
cast "Decelerate" on Malik so that you can hit him with gunfire.
Now Malik will go crazy with confusing everybody and going crazy with
strong attacks that hurt everybody. If you have a clear chime, equip it on
Virginia to protect her against confusion, as you'll need her mystic
baaaaad.
Other than that you are in the hands of lady luck. I hope she likes you.

as the attacker did to him
Abilities Janus:
- Dark Speak
= Melee Attack
- Proton Beam
= Strong attack one target
- Negative Rainbow
= Attack entire party
=============================================================================
This is a two bosses in one, fight.
Leehalt opens the fight, when you hurt him enough, he'll run away and Janus
will replace him.
This situation makes that you get EXP for both, and also that EXP bonus
rates counts for both, so yeah, when you use a Lucky Card while fighting
Leehalt, the exp for Janus will also be doubled, and the FP you gathered
during fighting Leehalt will transfer to Janus as well.
(Noted bug. Regulary, the EXP and money Leehalt should give is nullified).
Leehalt fights in the same manner as he did back at Nidhogg Pass. The only
difference is that he'll ocasionally cast Eliminate Scanner.
The technique is the same, Virgina do the attack, Gallows healing her and
Jet and Clive doing nothing at all, however you may need to put in an extra
healing/potion berry every now and then.
Janus doesn't offer anything new here, either. He has no crazy powerup or
so, so you can just go all out agaisnt him and heal in time. This is the
last time you'll meet Janus in battle, so go for it :)

some important things. Not everything's revealed yet, but still
some very important stuff.
= Once you've sat it all out, exit East
027: Follow the way and exit North
028: This puzzle requires you to make all tiles red. Stepping on them
makes all tile you step on and tiles beside it red if they were
blue and vice versa.
A B C
1 . . .
2 . . .
3 . . .
You can turn the puzzle into any angle you want, but once you
chose your camera angle don't change it.
Step on all tiles I name here, but what I must stress is, step
off the puzzle after every tile UNLESS the next tile is
adjectent to the one you're on (horizontally or vertically, not
diagonally).

Abilities: (All three)

=============================================================================
This is the final battle of this dungeon and chapter.
There's no special technique to win this, none of the Prophets will do
anything of their special abilities they showed in previous battles, they
will only go crazy with Eliminate Scanner, it's frankly all they can do in
this particular fight.
Furthermore they all three have the same amount of HP and statistics. In
other words, take them out in any order you want. As you have three bosses
in one fight here, just Mystic a Lucky Card and go all out. Please note
that when they all three target the same character he or she will most
likely die, be agressively on the healing. With each prophet struck down
this battle gets easier.
Keep a good eye on your HP and make sure you can keep up with the healing
(use Extention or Mystic if you need) and this battle is over in a flash.

CHAPTER 3
Chapter 3 is HORRIBLE.
There are many things that may look like sidequest, but are actually quests
you have to take on in order to finish the game.
Aside from doing the normal dungeons you have to find Lombardia in order to
get transporation by air.
You also must get the four new guardians introduced here, and the way they
are hidden is insane.
I write everything down in the order in which I did it, but on every new
section I'll write down which requirements you need to fit before you can
take this on, so be sure you don't miss anything.
With all requirements I'll refer you to the section by placing the index
code you can search on between ( and ) in the txt version of this FAQ, in

=============================================================================
Overview:
This is another disappearing dungeon, so once you completed it, it will
disappear from the map.
You will not get the reward money automatically after fulfilling this job,
but in the cellar of the Ark of Destiny you can find a member of the Ark
who'll pay you the reward money.
The puzzles are easy, what is very irritating is that you get a high load
of scenario here at nearly every room.
When you set the explosives at the end of this dungeon you gotta go all the
way back in a time limit of 20 minutes, and as you know in battle the time
keeps ticking (it only holds while you are entering your moves). This time
limit also includes the boss, so don't slack, make sure you have enough
time to beat him when you reach the exit!

= Throw the crate onto the glass pyramid (you can easily get mistaken in
the position. I recommend to make the camera point west while you do
this to make sure you are positioned correctly)
= Exit North
- = Cross the bridge (you'll get some boring scenario along the way)
= Exit North
- = Follow the road
= Remove a crate to hit the switch

- = Hit the switch (yes, scenario again)
= Exit East
- Follow the road and exit North at the end
- Open the chest to the west
=============================================================================
NEW TOOL: RADICAL SNEAKERS
These shoes allow you to jump. When standing on a trampoline you'll be
launched into a certain location making you able to reach spots you
cannot reach otherwise. You can also use these to jump onto the switches
that you (until now) needed to make yourself higher up to land on them.
Another feature is that when nets are too high to jump into normally
these sneakers might allow you in. All-in-all you'll be needing this tool
a lot.
=============================================================================
- = East
= JET: Use your sneakers to jump onto the North-East platform

back. When you are activate the damn thing and you got 20 minutes to
get outta here

My levels: Virginia Lv34; Clive Lv34; Jet lv34; Gallows lv34
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Cocytus
= Ice attack entire party
=============================================================================
This boss is not hard, but still part of the time limit. I had 17:39 left
when I began this boss while writing this FAQ, but I guess anything above
at least 10 minutes will do.
This boss is invincible to all attacks when its shell is closed (which
happens to be the case at the start of every turn). Virginia (and nobody
else) should have the Flash Hit and go crazy with Spectre, after that the
boys can attack it at will. It should die in two or three turns or so. Its
attacks are not noteworthy, so as long as you keep remembering you start
every turn with Spectre, you'll do fine.
=============================================================================
After this fight you'll score a duplicator and this dungeon is concluded.
Right now you are free to go in many directions, as I said, I will do the
order in which I took everything on.
Oh yeah, your reward of 15000 Gella is waiting for you in the Ark of
Destiny. You can find Helga in the western stairway down at the Ark. Talk
to her to get your cash.

Sub-Part: Balal Quo Naga
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv35; Clive Lv35; Jet lv35; Gallows lv35
=============================================================================
Balal Quo Naga is a boss that hides in the Dunes and must be taken on by
Sandcraft. The only modification you need to do is to fabricate the Ark
Smasher for 50 Dragon Fossils. You can do that at the ARMS girl in Jolly
Roger.
I also recommend to make Virginia your Gunner, you can do that in the order
menu.
Board your Sandcraft from Jolly Roger (if it's not at Jolly Roger, use the
auto-pilot to get there) and go this way
= East
= Pass under the bridge
= As soon as you can North
= When you see Rocks go over there go to them and Balal Quo Naga should
attack you.

My levels: Virginia Lv36; Clive Lv36; Jet lv36; Gallows lv36 (!!!)
=============================================================================
Make sure that prior to the fight you made Virginia your Gunner and that
you have the Ark Smasher equipped.
Now use the Force Ability "Fire all ammo at once" and you win. In the rare
events that you don't just reload as soon as you can and do it again.
=============================================================================
You'll score 24 Dragon Fossils (which are completely useless now) and
you'll find a Suitcase.
The way is free to Laxisland now that Balal is dead, but that comes later,
return to Jolly Roger and "Chat" with the Arms girl and you'll get a
Goddess Idol from her. That's a trophy you need for the next step.
CH300000005
=============================================================================
Dungeon: Fallen Sanctuary - Raftina
=============================================================================
Requirement: You must have beaten Balal Quo Naga (CH300000004) and obtained
the Goddess Idol from the ARMS girl in Jolly Roger.

Make your way to the upper level (where you fought the first guardians
before)

| Guardian
+----------------
| Raftina
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv36; Clive Lv36; Jet lv36; Gallows lv36 (!!!)
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Copy Ability
= Raftina copies all your Arcana spells enabling her to use them against
you.
- Weakness
= Make the party weak to all element
= When you're hit by this move all personal skills protecting you against
elemental attacks are void.
- Sacred Blood
= Raftina will heal herself
- Your Arcana
= Once 'Copy Ability' has been used Raftina can use any Arcana spell you
pocess against you.
=============================================================================
When it comes to preparations Gallows must be level 36 or this strategy
won't work, nothing else matters as long as he is level 36 and not one
level less.
In turn #1:
= Equip the Flash Hit medium of Gallows
= Gallows should cast Extention + Reflect
= Moves of the other characters do not matter
= Raftina will cast "Copy Ability"
In turn #2:
= Give the Flash Hit back to Virginia (and re-install her personal skills)
= Virginia and Gallows should use an offensive spell of any element, as
long as it has an element
= Jet and Clive should just attack
= Raftina will cast "Weakness" trying to give you all elemental weaknesses,
but due to the Reflect you just cast it will bounce back and Raftina will
now get weak against all weaknesses herself. (Cool) :)
Now we got Raftina right where we want her. She'll go crazy using your
elemental spells against you, the first few turns they will bounce back on
her, when that wears off you can cast a few more reflects but you don't
have to.
it's not a pretty attack when you can and heal when you must fight. To make
things even cheesier, I had an unused Dark Ring. I used it with Mystic on
Clive... Worked well :) (and the best part, this will NOT consume the
ring).
Raftina can heal herself (and that's the move you'll get from her when you
summon her as a guardian), but it's no big deal.
=============================================================================
You'll now obtain the "Love Charm" medium, I strongly suggest to give it to
Viriginia.
You'll also be able to empower two of your mediums. It really doesn't
matter which ones you pick as you'll empower them all anyway, but I advice
to do the Aqua Wisp first, after that, do what you like.

New Tool:
= Kramer Doll (Gallows)
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= VIRGINIA: First you must have spoken to Neil. He's lying on a bed in a
house in the east part of Boot Hill. He'll mention this place to you.
= Now use your Sandcraft to go to the place where Balal Quo Naga used to
be.
= From there go straight north
= When you find a giant volcano on your way pass it on the WEST side
= You'll find two beaches, dock a that EASTERN one
= Move a bit North
= As soon as you can head east
= At the far east somewhere you may find the town (Note it ONLY appears if
you've spoken to Neil in Boot Hill).
=============================================================================
Overview:
A nice town and everybody seems a bit full of adventuring. Dreamers.
One guy though named Roswell has discovered an actual treat, the Telepath
Towers, that's a sidequest not available now, but this is a bugged
sidequest making that you cannot take it on any more when you start too
late on it, so look out when when you can start it.
You can also find Martina's mother here (in case you're doing this
sidequest), but it won't do much good now, as Martina will get here
eventually when you follow her around long enough.
All you want to do now is to obtain the Kramer Doll for Gallows
=============================================================================
- Enter the ARMS shop
- = Talk to the ARMS meister and "Chat"
= When he talks about cursed dolls, accept them
=============================================================================
NEW TOOL: KRAMER DOLL
Using this tool will cause an instant random encounter (if one is
available in this room). When you're standing next to a seal it will
burst open releasing the boss inside (see the Sealed Bosses section for
that). At are also a very few locations where you can use this doll to
summon a boss.In case you played the previous Wild Arms episodes, this
tool is very similar to Jack's Guitar of Maya and Marivel's My Mike.
=============================================================================
- Exit the shop

=============================================================================
Enemies:

Boss:
= Lombardia
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= From Laxisland board the Sandcraft and go straight south
= When you're past the volcano go east
= Dock at the beach at the volcano
= The entrance is on the south side, near the corner to the west side
=============================================================================
Overview:
As you can take on this dungeon at nearly any time of this chapter (up to a
certain point of course) there's a wide level range in which to take things
on, and the difficulty of the random encounters depend on it, but see my
levels? Those are by far high enough to take this place on.
You want to take this place on as early as possible as this
a) allows you to fly over the world and that will save a LOT of time.
b) You can then access Millenium Puzzle #10 to obtain the tracker which
allows you to take advantage of the nice numbers I put in my FAQ directing
you to the room numbers.
c) It allows you to access Millinum Puzzle #14 where you can obtain the
Teleport Orb, which allows you to warp to any town you've previosly been
before. I really recommend to get that thing.
d) If you want to take on the Archioch sealed boss, the earlier you do this
the better (see sealed boss section). You need Lombardia to reach that one.
Okay, now on the dungeon itself. It's the MOST complex dungeon of the game.
It's very important that you follow all instructions precisely. There are
exits out of the dungeon at all four sides, and when you enter you'll
always end up here. So basically you can restart at nearly any point.

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv36; Clive Lv37; Jet lv36; Gallows lv37
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Mighty Might
= Attack power up
- Missile Might
= Attack on one target
=============================================================================
This fight is rather odd, but pretty easy nonetheless.
Lombardia will waste his first three turns to power himself up. Just cast
Eraser to dispell all that crap.
After that he'll do a few times Missile Might, which you can easily heal
through, no problem no sire.
After that he'll just shine bright red and do nothing at all, and he he
still lives after that, he'll repeat the cycle.
When you dealt him enough damage he'll ask you a few question. Answering
one of them wrong means Lombardia will kill the entire party instantly
meaning you lose the battle.
The correct answers are:
I: I Want what you want
II: Yes
III: I will give you something more
IV: Something to quench your desire
=============================================================================
This will conclude this dungeon and as your reward you'll gain Lombardia,
and with that all places on the world map are within your reach now.
Now I strongly recommend to take on Millenium Puzzle #10 which is located
on the higher platform west of Laxisland
Millenium Puzzle #14 is also a big wanna have. See the Millenium Puzzle
Section how to find and solve them
And If you want to go for Arioch, now is the best time to do so.
Of course, the other sealed bosses are also unlocked by now, but I
recommend to make sure you're ready to go for them as they are pretty
though.

Boot Hill.
= Leave Boot Hill and WALK all the way south. When you reach the edge into
the dunes a little west and search here.
=============================================================================
Overview:
You're just back in the place where the game began (assuming you did
Virginia's Prologue first).
The enemies are the same as in your original visit, so better not waste
your time on the encounters and cancel them all (unless you hope to meet an
Arioch here, of course. See Sealed Bosses).
For this run I asume you took everything of value on your original run, so
I'll skip all of that and I'll just get on what you must do here, and lead
you out.
=============================================================================
001: Exit North
002: Exit North
003: Exit East
005: Up the stairs and exit west at the top

throught he floor. Tiptoe to be sure)
= JET: Jump onto it.

you here :)

- Dark Destruction
= Darkness attack (350+ damage) on all targets
- Dark Luceid
= Unless underlevelled, no effect at all.
- Life Drain
= Drains your life to recover his own
- Large Moon
= Melee Attack
=============================================================================
Luceid is one of the easier guardians to defeat.
None of his attacks should give you any trouble to heal through, and his
favorite one (Dark Luceid) doesn't even do any damage at all (it never did
to me, at least, and since I played this game from start till finish far
too much that counts for something).
Just keep attacking, and keep healing your weakest (that is one with least
HP) and you'll win this fight quite easily.
=============================================================================
After beating Luceid you'll get his medium (Lust Jaw) and you can power up
two other guardians. With that you can just exit thing dungeon.
I recommend to equip the Lust Jaw on Gallows.

How to get there by Lombardia:
= Fly to infinitum (the tower South-West of Baskar)
= Fly straight North from there
= Pass the island and land as soon as you reach land
= Search here.
=============================================================================
Overview:
This dungeon is very straight forward. No complex roads or anything, and
the puzzling is hardly there.
This place is in the first place a scenario run. In many rooms you'll see a
painting. Shane will give an explanation about these paintings. If you want
a proper understanding of the WA3 storyline as a whole, it's very important
you take good note of Shane's explanations.
At the end you'll meet a boss, or rather a combination of four bosses, but
that's just a crappy excuse for a boss.
Let's just go for it ;)
=============================================================================
001: Exit North
002: Go North, exit North
003: = OPTIONAL: GALLOWS: Clean the stone with the Freezerdoll if you
want to read it.

close)

004: = Hear out Shane about the events 2200 years ago.
= Go North-East

005: You cannot reach the southern duplicator door for now. That has
to come later.
= Go North
= Exit North
007: Shane will tell you more. This time about the events 1300 years
ago.
= Go North-East

008: Go East, exit East

1 . . . North
2 . . . /\

This should open the door.

011: = Follow the corridor
= OPTIONAL: East exit leads to treasure: Lucky Card x2, Warp
Star x2, Gella Card
= Exit South
013: Another event, 150 years ago.
= Exit West
014: = Follow the corridor
= OPTIONAL: South exit leads to treasure: Growth Egg, Weather

=============================================================================
Abiilities Scarecrow:
- Arcana Disposal
= Reflects offesnive magic
- Hellsize Masquerade
= DEATH!
- Raven
= Melee Attack
Abilities Steamgear:
- Undalation Cannon
= Magic attack one target
- Psychadelator
= Confuse one target
Abilities Leonhardt:
- Critical Heal
= Heals itself and its allies to full HP
- Blade Arm
= Melee Attack
- Surpressed Curse
= Dark attack, one target
=============================================================================
These guys are not hard, but they can put up a fight.
Of course the fact that Leonhardt can heal up full is very very terrible.
He's weak to all elements, but he's under a permanent reflect spell. You
can dispell it, but due to a bug your Arcana will still come back to you,
so that won't work. What does work is when you have a spare elemental ring
is to attach an element to Clive and make him go all the way on Leonhardt,
that should take care of him.
With Leon out of the way, at least you removed your opponent's possibility
to heal, and that's worth a lot.
After that you have to decide who the bigger threat is... The Confusion of
the Steamgear, or the instant kill of the scarecrow.
=============================================================================
When you win this fight you'll score Adventure 5, in case you were doing
that sidequest. :)
You'll end up in Baskar, and from there you can plan your next move.
Before getting into that, I prefer to fetch the Guardian of Courage Justine
first, making we have 3 places to go to now.

Gunner's Heaven
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv41; Clive Lv40; Jet lv40; Gallows lv40
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= First I recommend to have fetched Lombardia first from IDX Dragon's Lair,
it makes explaining this all a lot easier on me.
= Now you can best fly to where Survey Point #17 used to be. Even though
the dungeon itself has disappeared you can still look at up on the map.
= From there fly over the bridge and go west
= Follow the road you could take if you were on foot
= Fly to the unfinished railroad to the south
= Search the south and of the raidroad
=============================================================================
Overview:
This should have been a sidequest, but the first part of it is required for
the game, the rest is optional.
For a complete explanation of this place please look at the sidequests
section, as for this section I limit myself to the required part.
=============================================================================
A detail:
Now for a nice detail. You've seen the black haired girl before when she
walked away from Romero and Dario in Jolly Roger, she could also be seen in
Boot Hill.
On your first visit here you can find her when you walk into the area on
the balcony above it pacing around. However when you get yourself onto this
balcony she'll be gone.
The time to reveal more about her is not yet, but it's nice to see ;)
=============================================================================
- = Talk to Ortega
= "Arena"
= "Novice League"
= Accept to pay 2000 Gella
You now have to beat 5 rounds of enemies in 25 turns or less (if you don't
make the turn limit you can speak to Ortega to try it again).
=============================================================================
Gunner's Heaven - League 1
Prizes: Antidote x3, Heal Berry x4, Revive Fruit, Potion Berry, 5000 Gella
One-time Prize: Item Scope - Allows you to find treasures on the world map
Turn Limit: 25
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv41; Clive Lv40; Jet lv40; Gallows lv40
=============================================================================
ROUND:1: GANGA x3
This round is the one that can take longest as these three are
you thoughest opponents in this league.
They have no weaknesses, and they cancel your moves. I do
recommend you not to go crazy on summons or anything as you need
it for the next round.
If you already obtained Raftina, you can speed this battle up by
casting the spell, weaken. Any element will do as long as you
immediately attack your weakened target with the same element.
ROUND:2: WENDIGO x1
This guy is weak to wind, and you can save yourself a lot of
turns if you exploit that weakness.
ROUND:3: SHAMBLING MOUND x6
Summon Moor Gault (Fiery Rage Medium) and if the summoner has
quite some FP you'll be rid of these in only one turn.
ROUND:4: BALOR x1
This guy is quite a master of disease attacks, I recommend you
to cure that status with the Clearance spell as soon as it
appears.
He's weak to thunder, and I suggest to exploit that weakness.
ROUND:5: ARMORDRAKE x1
He has a thick armor (which is empowered by a shield spell which
you can dispell with eraser).
He is also weak to wind. Easy opponent.
=============================================================================
If you beat the league above you'll be awarded the Item Scope. It allows
you to find items on the world map, and that's precisely how we're gonna
find the Lion Idol that leads to Justine.
As I said, the rest of this place is optional, and therefore I refer to the
sidequest section for that.

Boss:

=============================================================================
Overview:
Back again. This time no bother from Maya Schrodinger, and also a different
route to take on.
The enemies are still the same, and I won't name treasure you could take
here on your previous visit.
=============================================================================
001: = Go down the ramps
= Exit North-East
002: Follow the way, exit East
003: Go East and hit the exit
004: Make your way up and hit the upper exit west
003: Cross the bridge and exit west
002: Exit North
005: Follow your way up and hit the exit
006: = CLIVE: Bomb the west wall
= Exit West
007: = OPTIONAL: You can block up the rocks east and exit south to
score a Revive Fruit
= OPTIONAL: The chest in this room contains a Gimel Coin
= Up the ramp north west
= CLIVE: Bomb the north wall
= Exit North
008: Exit North
WORLD: = West
= Search twice (first time you'll find a sign, second time
you'll find the Lion's Idol
= Pick up that Idol
= If you have the Teleport Orb, use it to teleport out, if you
don't have it, you'll have to make your way back through the
cave.
CH30000000E

Dungeon: Fallen Sanctuary
Justine
=============================================================================
Requirement:
= You must have obtained the Lion Idol from the Gemstone Cave (CH30000000D)
= You must have obtained the Radical Sneakers from Iron Dragon's Nest
(CH300000003)
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv41; Clive Lv40; Jet lv40; Gallows lv40
=============================================================================
On the Monolith room, examine the South-East monolith (use Jet's jump shoes
blah blah blah) and use the Lion Idol on it.

| Guardian
+----------------
| Justine
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv41; Clive Lv40; Jet lv40; Gallows lv40
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Justine Attack
= Kills the entire party in once.... at least, that's what it's supposed
to do, but in 99,999 of the 100,000 cases it does nothing at all.
- Hyper
= Double attack power.
= Cast Eraser to dispell this.
- Heavy Brave
= Melee Attack
- Magnarize
= 150+ attack on one target
=============================================================================
Justine is the easiest of the four guardian lords, if not of all guardians
you gotta battle during the game.
He does power himself up an all, but dispelling it with Eraser is just too
easy. The supermove is supposed to kill everybody, but it rarely hits (the
first time it hits me has yet to come).
None of his attacks are bringing you into trouble as your healing spells
are stronger than that.
To cut a long story short, Justine is even too easy for RPG beginners and
not worth to waste any more words on.
=============================================================================
After winning this fight, you'll obtain Justine's medium (give it to Jet),
and you can empower two weaker mediums.
That concludes obtaining Justine.

Enemies:

Boss:

=============================================================================
How to get there:
When you look on the worldmap you can see two islands forming a misformed
pacman.
At the east side of it are some islands, one of them has a beach. Use
either the Sandcraft or Lombardia to get there.
=============================================================================
Overview:
This dungeon is one with some scenario. of course about Clive's past, but
especially more some revelations of what the Prophets are actually doing at
this moment.
The puzzles here are not hard, but the boss is nasty, but he's easier than
you think he is.
=============================================================================
001: = OPTIONAL: JET: You can use the jump shoes to jump into the net
and climb up. There the west exit scores you Revive Fruit,
Gella Card x2, 12000 Gella, and the east exit scores you Lucky
Card and Duplicator
= Exit North
004: = You can turn the wheel to open the door, but don't stop until
it has been opened completely.
= Exit North
005: Go down the stairs and exit West
006: You get first some scenario to sit out.
= Follow your way down and hit the exit at the end
007: You cannot deactive the lasers from here. Exit East in stead
008: = Upstairs and pick up a crate
= Downstairs and throw it to the crystal pyramid east
= Upstairs and exit west
007: = CLIVE: Bomb all the devices to deactivate the lasers
= Drop off South
= Exit North
009: OPTIONAL:
= Up the stairs onto the south-east platform
= Jump into the net
= Get the potion berry and drop off
END OPTIONAL PART

= Exit East
014: This is a timed puzzle. Move to the center and a trap will move.

trap

015: Up the stairs and hit the exit at the end

My levels: Virginia Lv42; Clive Lv41; Jet lv40; Gallows lv41
=============================================================================
- Head Butt
= Melee Attack
- The Stench of Death
= Announce instant kill this turn
- Humbaba Curse
= Kill entire party in once.
=============================================================================
This boss can be impossible to beat if you don't know what you're doing.
Every three turns it will kill the entire party instantly, unless of course
you take some precautions.
Clive had the Cosmic Cog equipped in my game. This gives you the
possibility to shield him against instant death. Have it at full so you are
sure that one party member always survives whatever happens.
If you have a holy grail you can equip it on any body else to give him/her
the same skill.
I already had the Brave Seal and I had it on Jet. When you max out the
"Focus" ability it should protect him.
Virginia had the Love Charm on in my game, and I just used her to cast
Status Lock over all unprotected characters.
These precautions will make you survive the instant kill move.
Aside from that this guy is easy, and he's weak to all elements. Abuse that
fact.
=============================================================================
Beating this guy will get you a Holy Grail.
Virginia noted that she heard somebody laughing. All I can say for now
is... she's right. Take note of that.
016: Exit North to conclude this dungeon.

Dungeon: The Abyss
=============================================================================
You must have obtained Lombardia in Dragon's Lair (CH300000007) .

Enemies:

Boss:
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= First speak to the people in Little Rock so they'll reveal the existance
of this place to you.
= From Humphrey's Peak board Lombardia
= Fly South until you reach the dunes
= Fly a little south east and you'll find some land
= The way is passed with a rock. Lombardia can shoot. Do so to remove the
rock
= Land and make your way through the place previously blocked to the north
= At the end search
=============================================================================
The Abyss was meant as a sidequest, but the first part of it is required to
obtain the guardian Zephyr, and you need that guardian in order to complete
the game.
For this description I'll limit myself to that section. For the Abyss in
full, please look at the sidequest section.
In the first room, just proceed to the elevator and say "yes" when the game
prompts to enter the abyss.
On the next 10 floors you need to collect all blue crystals and when you
collected them all the teleporter to the next level will open.
You get get on level 10 you'll get the boss.

My levels: Virginia Lv43; Clive Lv42; Jet lv41; Gallows lv42
=============================================================================
This boss is very very easy. At the start of each turn it will call
intercepts, at the end it cancels them. Any attack between them will be
countered with a big light spell.
Clive, slowpoke as he is, always acts after it's all cancelled (unless you
are overlevelled, which is in your disadvantage here).
So let everyblody guard and let Clive do the attacking and you get through
this without a scratch.
A few things the others can do
= If you have a Dark Ring, Mystic it on Clive.
= If you don't have a Dark Ring, but you do have the Brave Seal Medium,
then cast Hyper on Clive.
= Mystic a Lucky Card, lots of EXP here
= Use a Gella Card, you don't wanna miss this cash.
That's all :)
=============================================================================
When you win this fight, you'll obtain the Dragon Idol.
The Game will ask if you wanna leave or go for the other levels.
I recommend to leave (the rest of this dungeon should not be taken on below
lv85 at least).
CH300000011

+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv43; Clive Lv42; Jet lv41; Gallows lv42
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Downburst
= Melee attack
- Exploder
= Target will explode on his/her next action, dying instantly hurting
his/her allies depending on how much HP he/she had left prior to
exploding.
= The only spell that can prevent you from being hit is Reflect
- Phantasmic Heart
= Strong non-elemental spell against all targets
=============================================================================
Zephyr is the hardest of all the guardian fights. His "Exploder" spell is
the spell that makes it so.... There is no way to cure exploder, but you
can prevent it. Just keep casting Reflect over everybody. Don't do this
with Extension, it will cost more FP than you can recover, just do one by
one and pray no unprotected ones get hit.
I must note, reflect will bounce the spell back to Zephyr, but he is immune
to it, but that doesn't matter, his turn is wasted, and that's what
matters.
When you can keep Exploder under control you got this battle in the pocket,
nevertheless, bring a lot of Revive Fruits, as you're gonna need them bad.
Keep note that Phantasmic Heart can hurt you bad, so keep healing
aggresively.
=============================================================================
Now you'll get the Hope Shard (give to Jet)
And you can turn two silver mediums to gold.
If you have followed my FAQ to the letter you should have all guardians
now.

New Tool
= Grappling Hook (Clive)
=============================================================================
How to get there by Sandcraft:
You can best board it from Boot Hill and go straight south-west
There should be a beach around a crater. Fila Del Fia lies withing that
crater
How to get there by Lombardia:
Fly to the west edge into the dunes and once you above that go straight
north and you should find the crater where Filia Del Fia lies within.
=============================================================================
Overview:
Welcome to the floating city of Fila Del Fia, or at least, what's left of
it, if this city ever floated in the first place, that is.
It's not a hard dungeon, neither combatwise or puzzlewise. The boss needs a
bit of a trick, but I wouldn't label him hard, either. Let's just go for
it.
=============================================================================
001: Exit North-West
002: = Drop off South-West
= Exit South-West
003: You can score a gella card and potion berry here but most
importantly:
=============================================================================
NEW TOOL: GRAPPLING HOOK
Stand directly beneath a hooking path and press the tool button and Clive
will shoot a hook in the air pulling himself up. Face into the direction
you want to go, and Clive will go forward dropping off (that one spot
forward is very significant).To those who played Wild Arms 1,2, ACF and 5,
this does NOT work the same as the grappling hook in those respective
games!
=============================================================================
003: Exit North-East
002: = Stand beneath the path
= CLIVE: Hook up
= Drop off North-East
= North
= CLIVE: Hoop up and drop off North
= Exit North
004: = Examine the little screen and sit out the scenario
= Exit West
005: = OPTIONAL: Up the ladder you can score a Lucky Card
= Stand under the boomerang target
= CLIVE: Use the hook... yup that works too :)
= Exit West
006: = Go to the VIT crystals
= Tiptoe your way north (don't use the gale crest. The game
makers made it so that that tool won't work here).
= OPTIONAL: GALLOWS: Down the stairs you can score Warp Star x3
with the steady doll
= OPTIONAL: CLIVE: You can bomb the west wall to score: 15,000
Gella, Migrant Seal
= Exit North
008: = Go East (and sit out the scenario)
= Exit East
009: = Follow the corridor
= CLIVE: Stand north of the blocks and use the gloves to move
them both north of you.
= CLIVE: Stand under the pad, and hook up
= Drop off East
= Exit East
010: Exit North

My levels: Virginia Lv45; Clive Lv44; Jet lv43; Gallows lv44
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Lazy Lick
= Causes Misery on one target
- Backstab
= Kills one target instantly
=============================================================================
I nicknamed this one "Schele", but I suppose you need to understand Dutch
to understand why :)
What I must note is that after every physical attacks his guy will turn
immune for physical attacks for 3 turns, so when it comes to that I
recommend to only let Clive do that.
I already had all guardians at the time, and casting both "Hyper" and
"Permanence" on Clive will help you great deal.
Other than that he's quite a master of Misery and instant kill. Both can be
blocked by the "Status Lock" spell, and if you have "Permanence" then cool,
cast both spells over everyone. After that this fight is a pushover.
=============================================================================
You'll score a duplicator for this fight
011: Exit East
012: = Up the stairs
= Turn the wheel to turn the target upside down
= GALLOWS: Freeze the wheel
= Down the stairs
= CLIVE: Shoot the target from below with the hook
= Up the stairs
= OPTIONAL: VIRGINIA: You can defrost the wheel with the
thindercrest for fun, but it won't do that much good :P
= Hit the exit
013: (Any time I see room number 013 coming by I must think about the
Dutch city Tilburg... Why would that be?)
= Exit North
014: = Drop off North
= OPTIONAL: Dropping off north-East and hitting the exit there
can score you Gimel Coin, Pocketbook (mimi). Of course, you
need Clive's hook to get back up the main track
= Exit North-West
016: Examine the great computer and leave to conclude this dungeon.

Dungeon: Caging Tower
=============================================================================
Requirement: Fila Del Fia (CH300000012) completed
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Barbarossa
= Gorg
= Nybass
Boss:
= The Schrodinger Family
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= Go to Clayborne and speak with Myra (the innkeeper). NOTE: I don't know
what happens if you would already have completed the Martina van Basten
sidequest making that Myra is replaced by Mileux, but I think the game
makers took it into account.
= All the way North-East
=============================================================================
Overview:
This dungeon is frustrating.
Most of the puzzles are about appearing and disappearing orbs. Study them
well and they go in a pattern as when you touch an orb, you'll get captured
and be put in a cage. You can get out of there by bumping the door, but it
gives a lot of time wasting.
The boss is Maya and her team for the last time. They will not disappear
from the story after that but at least this is the last time you gotta
fight them.
You can also obtain the Black Pass to the Black Market here, and that item
can be pretty important.
Let's just go for it.
=============================================================================
001: Up the stairs and exit East
002: Up the stairs and hit the exit
003: Study the balls well. If you get caught no problem in this room,
just jiggle the left analog stick or the directional keys to get
out, but this is the only room for which that counts.
Destroy the cone to complete this.
Here goes nothing:
= Hug the platform and follow it to the stairs and stop when a
ball is in your way.
= Up the stairs
= Ignore the chest and hit the stairs up at the north wall when
the road is clear
= CLIVE: Bomb the cone
= OPTIONAL: NOW you can take the chest: Lucky Card
= Exit West
004: Up the stairs and hit the exit at the top.
(OpTIONAL: North exit = Potion Berry, Revive Fruit)
006: Exit East
007: Go up the stairs and hit the exit
008: Just like in room 003, but you touch a ball this time you'll get
a random encounter first and after that you'll be teleported
into a cell in room 006. If that happens run to bump the door
open and come back here.
= From the entrance go straight north once the way is clear
= JET: Use the trampoline tio get onto the platform west
= Hug the northwall and once the road is free go to the treasure
chest (which contains a Gella Card btw)
= Drop off South from here
= JET: Use the trampoline
= Hug the west wall and go south and when the road is clear run
south
= CLIVE: Bomb the cone
= Exit West
009: = Up the stairs
= OPTIONAL: North exit = Grab Bag, AP Ammo, Gimel Coin
= Hit the east exit at the top of the stairs

Abilities Maya:
- Vantage Rage MM

Abilities Alfred:
- Homemade Bomb
= Weak attack on one target
Abilities Todd:
- Healing Factor
= Heals ally
= Whenever you attack Maya or Alfred Todd will instantly cast this spell
regardless if it's his turn or not.
- Black Fenrir
= Todd's Normal attack
= TRIVIA: Named after the sword of honor Jack can get in Arctica Castle
in Wild Arms 1.
- Psycho Crack
= Attack + Confusion on one target
= TRIVIA: Named after Jack's initial Fast Draw attack in Wild Arms 1.
Abilities Shady
- Baking Breath
= Fire attack one target
- Blizzard breath Breath
= Ice attack one target
Combo ability - Alfred + Todd + Shady
- Wild Bunch
= Alfred throws bars of Dynamite in the air
= Todd uses his sword to hack them over the entire field
= Shady breaths fire on all of them
= Result: BOOM!
= Damages entire party
=============================================================================
I really don't know if striking down Maya is enough to win this fight, but
point is, she gets really dangerous when her HP gets low, so let's go for
the other first.
As long as the three gentlemen are all three up, all they do is perform the
"Wild Bunch" combo, and Maya won't do a thing for now. The damage that
combo does is pathetically low, but it's because it hits the entire party
this move can cause you to suffer, so we must take one of the gentlemen out
first, and as Todd is the most dangerous one with his Psycho Crack, it's
pretty obvious you want him down first. As always you can put his Afro on
fire with a fire spell and I suggest you do so.
Be aggresive with your healing spell, and of course you can always mystic a
potion berry when the going gets though.
Once one of the three gentlemen is out of the battle things are practically
the same as in your first encounter with Maya, however I told you before
Maya gets dangerous when on low HP, so take out Alfred and Shady first, in
random order, but as Alfred is the weakest I prefer to go fo Shady first
then Alfred.
Once Maya is the last man... I mean... person standing, just beat her up,
however once he gets on low HP she'll go crazy with her Calamity Jane move
that can get to 1000+ damage. Once that happens make sure you use a lot of
your healing, but make sure Jet and Clive go for the most powerful attacks
they have at their disposal and Maya should be out soon.
=============================================================================

Overview:
Not many puzzles, this dungeon is more meant to get to know more about
Alfred, Todd and Shady and why they follow Maya around in her crazy
ambitions.

elements, and if you want to obtain the rings that protect you from all
that, here's the dungeon to steal them. If you are lucky, they drop :)

=============================================================================
The object is to get Sadas Jr. killed, but that's not as easy as it
appears. Whenever you do big Sadas will protect it and take the damage in
stead.
In nearly every turn the big Sadas will commit suicide and deal as much
damage to a playable character as he had in HP left, which mostly kills you
unless you are overlevelled.
Of course after that Sadas Jr. is vulnerable and the trick is to hurt it
before he revives big Sadas.
When you are around the same level as me you most likely won't hurt big one
at all, but that doesn't matter. Shoot like crazy and revive whoever dies
is the key to do this in general. There are openings.

Dungeon: Ruins of Memory

=============================================================================
Enemies:
Boss:
= The Prophets
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= East of Jolly Roger. You've been here before
=============================================================================
Overview:
Well, you've been here before, so no need for long explanations, and the
random encounters are the same as before and since you should be about 30
levels higher by now, this place is a joke. Of course you get the fight the
Prophets here, and they will do more than just "Eliminate Scanner".
Let's go for it.
=============================================================================
001: Exit North
002: Exit North
003: Exit North-East
004: = South
= Exit South
005: Exit West
002: Exit West
006: Exit North

= At the end exit south-east
003: = Stand near the sign on the north wall
= CLIVE: Use your hook and drop off North
= Exit North
016: = Activate all statues EXCEPT the two outer ones.
= Exit North
010: Cross the bridge and exit North
017: = VIRGINIA: Burn the tapestry with the thindercrest
= Exit North
018: = Open the book Maya left behind in the previous dungeon (it's
in your inventory labelled "Paperback")
= You'll obtain a keycard, use it to open the North Door
= Exit North
019: = Take the teardrop
= Now keep exitting south until you meet the Prophets.

| The Prophets:
+----------------
| Leehalt, Melody and Malik
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv47; Clive Lv46; Jet lv46; Gallows lv47
=============================================================================
Abilities Leehalt:
- Watching your move
= Skip turn
- Rule of Vengeance
= Whenever Leehalt gets attack he'll do the same damage to you as you did
to him.
Abilities Melody:
- Eliminate Scanner
= Magic Attack one target
- Venom Strike
= Whenever Melody gets attacked she'll poison her attacker
Abilities Malik:
- Eliminate Scanner
= Magic Attack one target
- Disorder
= Confuses one target
=============================================================================
You knew this moment was to come. The moment you'd fight all three Prophets
together and this time with their full abilities.
Leehalt will do nothing at all except when you attack he'll give you the
same damage back as you did to him.
Melody will only use Eliminate Scanner, but counter with Venom Strike
whenever you attack her.
Malik will need to be decelerated as before before you can attack him, and
his moves are still as annoying.
And with that I also named the matter of being dangerous from least to
most.
So take out Malik first with full force, when he's out you're life will be
a lot better.
After that you can go for Melody, but as she counters everything with Venom
Strike, only attack her when you are immune to poison.
When only Leehalt is the last man standing, make sure nobody can attack him
(you can cancel your moves in this game for 25 FP, cool, eh?)
And as before, make Virginia do the attack on him and let Gallows heal her.
The battle is not that hard, trust me :)
=============================================================================
This concludes this dungeon. Alfred will give up some coordinates, but they
are useless. You will find a building when you search there, but there's a
barrier around it and you cannot break it. You can get around that barrier
through "Dim Root Path", so that's your next go.
NEW SIDEQUEST AVAILABLE
From now on you can take on the Telepath Tower sidequest. It's the
sidequest that will undoubtedly give you the most EXP imaginable. Due to a
bug in the game you must have taken on the first tower BEFORE taking on
Deus Ex Machina which is not far away. When you've done at least one tower,
all is fine, then nothing can go wrong any more.

=============================================================================
How to get there:

= Go to where Survey Point #17 used to be and fly a little east
= Have Lombadria to destroy the rock at the mountain North

=============================================================================
Overview:
First of all you MUST have all the guardians prior to taking this dungeon
on. If you miss any guardian (There are 12 in total) the door at the start.
One mail I received countless times is:
"Hi Tricky.... I have collected all guardians and still the doors didn't
open. How come?"
My reply will be:
"No you haven't, if you had, the door would open!"
Another one:
"I got all four idols. Still the door didn't open!"
My reply will be:
"The idols have no value. You need to bring them first to their respective
monoliths to beat the boss connected to them to obtain the guardians
themselves".
For the rest is this dungeon pretty easy, there are no bosses, and the
puzzles revolve around Virginia's new toy.
This place gives access to the Cradle of the Metal God that you cannot
reach otherwise.
=============================================================================
001: = Examine the door, if you got all 12 guardians the door will
open
= Exit South-East
002: = Down the stairs
= Exit North-East
003: = Open the chest North-East
=============================================================================
NEW TOOL: Change Crest
This tool as two functions. It can turn VIT Crystals into orange
transparent block (which Clive can carry with his gloves by the
way). It's second function is that when you fire one to a ECN
crystal it will warp Virginia right to the spot where that
crystal is. Handy to get through nets or bigger pits.
=============================================================================
= OPTIONAL: VIRGINIA: You can use your new toy to remove the
blocks to score Lucky Card x3 and Potion Berry
= Exit South-West
002: = Up the stairs
= VIRGINIA: Throw the Change Crest to the ECN crystal and see
what happens :)
= Exit South-East
004: = VIRGINIA: Throw the change Crest to the VIT crystal to open
the door
= Exit South-East
005: Follow the corridor and hit the exit at the end.
006: = OPTIONAL: CLIVE & VIRGINIA: You can use the might gloves to
from a bridge Virginia can warp over with the gale crest in
order to score: 20000 Gella, Gella Card x20, Gimel Coin x3
= CLIVE OR VIRGINIA: Remove the orange blocks with either the
gloves or the change crest
= Exit South-East
008: = VIRGINIA: Remove all orange blocks with the change crest
= VIRGINIA: You can see you formed a bridge now you can take on
with the Gale Crest. Do so.
= ARGUABLY OPTIONAL: Open the chest to obtain the Violator (Be
careful with this item as you need it for the final boss, and
for three optional bosses).
= Follow the road and exit South-East at the end
009: = CLIVE: Place both blocks onto a switch with the gloves
= Exit South-East
010: Follow the road and hit the exit

already) :)

(NOTE: This is a bit buggy meaning Virginia could miss the
block you created to block her, making her still fall in).
= CLIVE: Move the block above the target below

Overview:
The first thing you'll see is the mysterious black haired girl "helping"
Malik with his mother's memory. All I can say for now is that the time has
not yet come to properly introduce her, but that time will come soon
enough.
When the dungeon starts you'll first find a yellow orb to the North-East
wall. As you cannot leave this dungeon until you completed it, you can use
that orb to recover your HP, ECN points and MTC. See it as a free inn.
Furthermore this is a disappearin dungeon. In other words, once you
completed it you cannot get back here.
There are a few nasty puzzlers here that need quick reflexes.
When you see searching lights. Stepping into them will get you a random
encounter and reset the room (similar to the searching lights in the
Photosphere in Wild Arms 1). Clive can destroy these lights with his hook.
Well, let's go for it.
=============================================================================
001: Exit South-East
002: Go South-East and Exit South-East
003: = CLIVE: Stand in the shadow under both searching lights and use
the hook to destrou them
= Stand on the switch
= GALLOWS: Hit the lever with the Steady Doll from here
= Exit South-East

= Paralysis on one target
=============================================================================
This boss has two forms. A pudding form and a cat form. It can only be hurt
in cat form, and in order to force it into that form, any ice spell will
do, so either Refridgerate or using an Ice Gem.
Ose will be in cat form in which it can be hurt for 3 turns or so and then
it'll get the invincible pudding form again, of course you can use another
ice spell then to force it back into cat form.
=============================================================================
004: Exit South-East
005: = Pess the button on the South-East terminal
= Hit the elevator
006: = CLIVE: Destroy all searching lights (Sand under them and use
the hook).
= Now go to the north-west side of the room
= Press all switches in less than 3 seconds
= Exit South-East
007: = Follow the corridor
= CLIVE: Destroy the searching light
= Hit the exit here
010: = JET: Jump (with your sneakers) into the net and watch out not
to be touched by the laser, move forward and drop off at the
end
= JET: And do this again with the next net
= JET: And again
= Exit South-East
You'll get a scenario part with Asgard, but you won't get to fight him.
Just sit out out and you'll automatically go to the next room.
012: Exit South-East
013: Thirteen is the unlucky number, right? I suppose that's why you
get this $(@$*)@ puzzle here.
= JET: Into the net by using your sneakers
= JET: Move North-East, and drop off onto the moving platform as
soon as that's possible.
= JET: Jump into the South-East net and climb up
= Hit the lever
= Onto the net
= Drop off onto the middle moving platform (this is tricky)
= JET: Into the net North-West (sneakers)
= Move the final platform and drop off onto it
= JET: Into the last net and climb up
= Hit the exit
014: = OPTIONAL: The sideway here contains a device that can restore
you HP, VIT, MTC and ECN
= Follow the corridor and hit the exit at the end

- Tri-Injury

Abilities Melody:

= Magic attack one target
- Venom Strike
= Whenever Melody gets attacked she'll poison her attacker.
=============================================================================
This battle is not much different from the one in the Temple of Memory,
except for the fact that Leehalt isn't in this battle, but as he didn't do
anything, we will hardly notice anyway.
As always you should aim for Malik first (and cast Decelerate on him), and
go for Melody next.
As always Melody will counter all your attacks by poisoning you. When you
know the procedure this battle is very extremely easy.
=============================================================================
016: Exit South-East

= CLIVE: Destroy the searching light at the exit
= Exit South-East
019: Hit the elevator
Now you'll witness a battle between Maya and Siegfried. Take a good look
why Maya loses this fight, because that information is important when
you're about to face Siegfried yourself.
020: Exit South-East
021: Exit North-East
022: Uch....
= JET: Into the net and jump off at the other side, look out of
the laser and blah blah blah, and keep that up until the last
net

This is your first aerial battle. The game will explain how aerial combat
works and then we get into the fight itself.
Basically I let Virginia and Gallows do the two powerup spells and Clive
and Jet should do Missile Might in the first turn.
After that going crazy with Missile Might seems to be the best course of
action. Using Mighty Might as soon as you get on 50+ FP is a good idea, and
don't forget to reload when you run out of ammo.
This fight is easy.
=============================================================================
This concludes this dungeon, though I must note that until you completed
next dungeon Deus Ex Machina you can meet Wyverns in the air (however you
can cancel all those combats for free).

Check the index of this FAQ. Everything that is put in the section "Chapter

also the last time I'll put in the "requirement" field in this dungeon
headers.

=============================================================================
How to get there:
- First of all go to Ballack Rise. Quickest way to get there is to fly
directly north from Baskar and you can find that village on the mountain
immediately over the dunes. (a bit to the west)
- = Check out the telescope at the roof of the buildings here (Optional,
use the Change Crest on the bird beside it to score a LVL Apple).
= Leave the city
Now you gotta board Lombardia and search the skies around the world. Mostly
you can find it in the Basar-Ballack Rise-Laxisland triangle, but it's
never the same, it differs each time you play the game.
It's also blurred, you'll see it as some multiple-s shaped "thing" in the
sky, you can force it to become visible by letting Lombardia shoot (R2
Default) into it. When you shot it a few times it's visible and you can
just fly into it to enter it.
Don't shoot like crazy in random directions, that will lead you nowhere,
search first, then shoot, that's the order.
(When I wrote this FAQ I found it just north of the volcano where you can
normally find Lombardia (17569,16461), but I can't guarantee you'll find it
there as well).
=============================================================================
Overview:
Welcome to the final dungeon of this horrible chapter, and be glad that in
the 4th chapter that follows you won't have to deal with searching the
world for impossible to find locations any more.
This dungeon itself is pretty straightforward, but quite a lot of puzzles,
but not really hard ones.
This may be the only dungeon for which it counts, but after defeating
Siegfried you gotta walk the entire way back, but not in a time limit.
As you could expect, this is a disappearing dungeon, so no treasure to get
here.
The levels shown in my level overview were really my levels, and I didn't
"grind" them that way. I simply started up the Telepath Tower mission and
that got me far. Speaking of that mission, when you didn't start up that
sidequest by now, do so, as due to a bug in the game you cannot start it up
later. If you already downed at least one telepath tower, then you're cool
and then you can finish the game normally.
=============================================================================
001: Follow the road and hit the exit north
002: = CLIVE: Use your bombs to destroy the laser. Time it right as
the laser moves.
= Exit South
003: = VIRGINIA: Use the change crest to remove the orange blocks
= Exit South
004: = VIRGINIA: Use the gale crest to get over the moving bridge.
Time it right, as you need to do this on exactly the right
moment. Please note Virginia always waits one second before
moving when you press the tool button.

ECN and MTC. You can speak to Alfred to save your game without
paying a Gimel Coin.

over that key combination with your controller within the time
limit (9 seconds).

This is just a regular Prophets fight. Kill Malik Clone first, then Melody
Clone (both clones fight exactly the same as their "real" counterparts),
and leave Leehalt himself for Virginia.
Since you fought them many times before by now you must know the drill by
now.

=============================================================================
First steal the Teardrop from him with the Pickpocket spell. It's
impossible to win this fight when you don't do that.
The majority of this fight is the same as what Janus put against you in
demon form (not really a surprise considering his condition). It's only
much weaker, and basically just attack when you can and heal if you must.
Just steal that damn Teardrop, you must do that (Siegfried can heal with
that thing to full, and the game makers even put in some features that
block the possibilities to kill him as long as he has that thing).
=============================================================================
You did beat Siegfried, but it's not over yet. You need to make your way
out of here first.

This is an air battle, so basically the rules of the air apply here.
You can just powerup yourself with your respective spells for that and go
crazy with Missile Might (and reload in time).
You can heal yourself, but you basically don't have to. Keep this up until
the game will go into a scripted event in which Siegfried will be killed at
last.

That concludes this chapter and you'll end up in Baskar where you can start
Chapter 4
CH400000001
CHAPTER 4
This chapter is very short. The dungeons just follow up on each other. No
more random order, and no more "looks-like-sidequest" things.
Your main antagonist is now Beatrice, who until now, always appeared as a
strange black haired girl, but in this chapter who'll discover what she
really is.
By now all sidequests should be unlocked.
However the Telepath Tower sidequest should be started by now, and if you
didn't, due to a bug it's then missed. You don't need to have it complete,
when you've taken out at least one tower you're fine.

Okay, that's all, there you'll get a lot of scenario. After that the group
re-unites and we can resume the game.
As I said in my general overview, this is a pretty short chapter (only 4
dungeon), so let's go :)
CH400000003
=============================================================================
Dungeon: Sacrificial Altar
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv68; Clive Lv62; Jet lv61; Gallows lv63
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Gargoyle
= Eel Volk
= Scorpius
Bosses:
= Hydra
= Salamandra
=============================================================================
How to get there:
Baskar is put against a hill. Fly over that hill north and land immediately
when you reach the other side. The place is in the center of this platform.
=============================================================================
Overview:
This dungeon is for now just a dungeon, it will get a secondairy function
near the end of the game.
There are a lot of puzzles here, and combat-wise you can face a few
challenges here, well, it basically depends if you've been working out your
skills actually, your level is less important (and will become even less
important in every dungeon that comes next, which has to compensate how
much EXP the sidequests can provide you).
There are two bosses here.
Will Gallows succeed in saving Shane?
=============================================================================
001: = OPTIONAL: At the eastside of the building is a stairway up
there you can score: Gella Card x3 and Gimel Coin
= Hit the entrance (on the ground floor)
003: Go North, exit North
004: = GALLOWS: Go down each stairway in random order and push both
blocks to the center of their platform with the Steady Doll
= VIRGINIA: From the entrance use your Gale Crest to warp North
= Exit North
005: = OPTIONAL: Duplicator door to the west. Grow Egg, and....
damn... forgot the other item...
= Exit North
The next couple of rooms can be played that you just have Gallows to put
out all torches, the ones that light again after a few seconds will be the
exit you gotta take. Too lazy to follow that path? Well, it's the same in
all playthroughs, so here goes :P
007: Exit West
008: Exit North
009: Exit West
010: Exit South
That concludes that puzzle for now (it will come back later, though)
011: Follow the corridor and hit the exit
BOS00000042
+---------
| Boss:
+----------------
| Hydra
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv68; Clive Lv62; Jet lv61; Gallows lv63
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Hydra Combination
= Melee Attack + Poison on one target
- Maelstrom
= Water attack on entire party
- Vitalizer
= Heals to full HP, but the spell will do less and less healing depending
on how often it's hit by fire.
=============================================================================
This boss is based on the old Greek Mythology story about the Hydra where
two warriors defeated the Hydra where one warrior beheaded the Hydra and
the other burned the would close with fire to prevent that three new heads
would appear.
This fight doesn't quite go like that, but the Myth is put in here. It's
just a attack when you can and heal if you must fight, so nothing special
there, HOWEVER, when it's HP is getting low it will cast "Vitalizer" to
restore its health completely, and that's where the myth comes in. Every
time you do a fire attack on it of any kind it's Vitalizer spell will be
downed by 50%, and if you keep it up long enough you can even reduce it to
0 making him unable to heal getting yourself an easy kill.
No matter how strong you are, you cannot beat it without those fire spells.
You can do that by either directly using "Cremate" or Fire Gems, or you can
do Attachment + Fire Element (or Mystic + Fire Ring) on Clive and Jet and
let them attack like crazy.
Both methods work.
=============================================================================
012: Exit North
013: = OPTIONAL: CLIVE: Bomb the wall east (downstairs) to claim
treasure: Talisman (Mimic), Lucky Card, Potion Berry
= Exit North
015: Follow the corridor and exit south at the end
016: You must make your way over the gorge, but the roads invisible,
however you can make it visible by using the Freezer Doll. Use
it all the time to see how you must go and make your way south
over it. Once you made it, exit South
017: Go South, exit South
BOS00000043
+---------
| Boss:
+----------------
| Salamandra
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv68; Clive Lv62; Jet lv61; Gallows lv63
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Flame Zone
= Fire damage up, ice damage down
- Volcannon Trap
= Fire damage to everybody
- Heat Stream
= Fire based melee attack on one target
- Salamandra burn
= 1700+ Fire Damage
= This spell is only used to counter any ice spells cast against him.
=============================================================================
All it can do is use fire against you. If you were lucky you already
obtained some fire rings and with help of the Black Market you can then
have yourself completely shielded against fire, and if you have that lucky
scenario this guy is helpless.
It's not easy getting that scenario though, as Fire Rings are hard to
obtain (well this guy drops one, but that's not pretty useful for this
fight, eh?)
With his "Fire Zone" it's not that useful to exploit his weakness (you'll
be countered big deal too, so unless you are protected against fire, it
would be an unwise way to go).
It's basically a attack when you can and heal if you must fight, like so
many other fights.
Well, if you have one person protected against fire (and since you have the
fire guardian that requirement is easy to fulfill) it's IMPOSSIBLE to lose
this fight. :)
=============================================================================
This will conclude this dungeon.
Beatrice, the black haired girl who has been following you around since the
moment you met Janus in Jolly Roger, will now properly introduce herself,
and she's your main enemy now, and thus I'll call her by that name from now
on.
After all that you'll end up in Baskar.
CH400000004
=============================================================================
Dungeon: Demondo Pillar
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Gargoyle
= Buckbaird
= Hide Bomb
Bosses:
=
= ??????
=============================================================================
How to get there:
= From Baskar it's to the southeast, as far south-east as you can go
without getting off the continent or crossing bridges
=============================================================================
Overview:
An entire structure that's half-tissue-half-machine. There are two of these
pillars and this is the first one.
The puzzles here are not hard to understand or solve, but some of them can
be annoying to do as a bit of precision and timing is required.
The place has two bosses, but the first one is very extremely easy (if you
did him before with much effort and you read in my FAQ how easy he really
is you're tempted to kill yourself), the second one, well if you peeked in
the index you know who he is, but I kept it secret in case you didn't look
there in order not to spoil things for you.
=============================================================================
001: Exit North
002: = CLIVE: Bomb the center pillar
= Exit North
003: You can mess up this room, guess that when you do you should
exit south and come back to reset this, but I never tried that.
= Up the stairs and go west at the end
= JET: At the edge jump four times
= VIRGINIA: Use the change crest to warp to the ECN Crystal
= Exit West
004: Follow the stairs and hit the exit at the top
005: West platform = 1, East platform = 3
= VIRGINIA: Warp to platform 2 when it's under the ECN gem (time
this right) with the Change Crest
= VIRGINIA: When you are most south, use the Change Crest again
to warp to the gem next to the exit
= Exit East
006: Follow the stairs and hit the exit at the top
007: = Go to the Pillars
= GALLOWS: Freeze one of them
= VIRGINIA: Use the tindercrest on the pillar Gallows just froze
= CLIVE: Bomb it
= Exit West
008: Follow the stairs and hit the exit at the top
009: Move forward for a "boss".

Read below why
=============================================================================
Cast "Requiem" ---- you win.... Guaranteed.
=============================================================================
A Dark Ring may drop after this "fight".
009: Exit East
010: = JET: Under the road is a target. Hit it with your boomerang
= Follow the stairs and hit the exit at the top
011: You cannot reach the higher platforms from here, so don't even
try.
= Follow the ground floor and exit West
012: = Up the first set of stairs
= GALLOWS: Freeze one of the pillars
= VIRGINIA: Use the tindercrest on the pillar Gallows just froze
= CLIVE: Bomb it
= Up the next set of stairs
= GALLOWS: Freeze one of the pillars
= VIRGINIA: Use the tindercrest on the pillar Gallows just froze
= CLIVE: Bomb it
= Hit the exit at the top
013: Here you need to time things right or you'll get hurt or even
worse dropped in a pit.
= Just follow the road and watch out not to be hit by those
metallic snails or whatever they are
= OPTIONAL: VIRGINIA & JET: You can reach the chest to the
south-west when you stand east of them and get there with the
Gale Crest, and you can use the sneakers to get out of there.
The treasure is: Gimel Coin, Power Boost
= At the end of the road, exit North
011: = VIRGINIA: Stand east of the trampoline and use the Gale Crest
to get onto it
= JET: Jump
= Exit North
014: Go North, exit North
BOS00000045
+---------
| Golem:
+----------------
| Asgard
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv71; Clive Lv66; Jet lv65; Gallows lv67
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Wide Barrier
= Kill all characters instantly.
= You can nullify this spell by heaving [Fallen] Status Ward, or the
Status Lock Spell (preferablly combined with Permanence)
- Barrier Flood
= Attack all party members
- Barrier Knuckle
= Melee Attack
=============================================================================
Asgard will always begin with "Wide Barrier", everybody dead, game over....
Well.... unless you took some preparations of course :)
Either have everybody maxed with the skill [Fallen] Status ward or Focus.
If you have neither of those skills on a character, you can cast "Status
Lock"+"Permanence" to make sure that spell doesn't work any more.
Other than this Asgard may go crazy with Barrier Flood as well as "Wide
Barrier", in other words, beside shielding yourself, you should be
aggressive on the healing, but your "Heal" spell can easily back it up, as
he goes for "Wide Barrier" more than "Barrier flood".
Cut short, when you are well-prepared this battle is a pushover.
=============================================================================
This concludes this dungeon. One warning, as soon as you enter Humphrey's
Peak now Clive will (temporarily) leave the party, so make sure you are
ready for the next content before you enter that city.
CH400000005
=============================================================================
Dungeon: Demondo Pillar - Rear
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv79; Clive Lv73; Jet lv74; Gallows lv75
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Radiant Bronze/Silver
Boss:
=============================================================================
How to get there:
- Go to Humphrey's Peak first and Clive will leave the party (for now)
- Visit him in his house and leave the city
- = Board Lombardia from Humphrey's Peak
= Fly south till you see the dunes
= Here you can see the yellow path you gotta taken but Lombardia cannot
land onto it (too bad). When you go a little west you can find the path
up.
= Use the call whistle to call your horses and mount htem (you can also
do this on foot, but I strongly recommend to do this on horse)
= Now follow the yellow path up
= When you reach the top, search the north side of the area
=============================================================================
Overview:
I hate to spoil things, but I can tell you that you only need to do the
first part without Clive.
At the end you'll meet a boss and after you killed that boss, Clive comes
into play. He'll first have to do a different route from Virginia and co.
I'll call the name of the groups to let you know to which group you have to
switch in the txt version of this FAQ, in the HTML version you'll see their
faces. :)
For the boss I do recommend that Virginia, Jet and Gallows are all
protected against two of the four base elements (fire, wind, earth, water),
and then I mean for them all the same elements. If you are you have an easy
win against the boss here :)
=============================================================================
001: Exit North
002: = Use the change crest to warp onto the North-East platform
= Exit East
003: = Drop off into the lower area
= All the way east
= Stand south of the two moving pillars
= JET: Use the boomerang on them from here
= JET: Jump onto one of them
= JET: From here jump onto the platform east
= Exit East
004: Follow the path down, and hit the exit
005: Move onto the higher platform in the center, and Beatrice will
lock you in and feed you to a ... MONSTER

| Neribos
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv 79; Jet Lv 74; Gallows lv 75
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Volcannon Trap
= "Burn to death in agony"
= Flame attack all targets
- Storm Blade
= "Get smashed to bits by a hurricane"
= Wind attack all targets
- Maelstrom
= "Drown in a tidal wave"
= Water attack all targets
- Crack Tremor
= "Get crushed and swallowed by the earth"
= Earth Attack all targets
=============================================================================
At the start of each turn the boss will ask "How do you wish to die?"
You always get three options and the boss will use a spell of the element
you chose. You can see in the setup above what spell will result from which
answer.
Well, that makes this boss very extremely easy. For preparations pick two
of the four basic elements (fire, wind, water, fire) and shield yourself
from those completely with rings (I chose Fire+Wind, but frankly any setup
will do, as long as you pick out of those).
Why must I shield against two, you ask? Simply, because the boss will
always let you choose between three elements, and which three is completely
random, so by having shielded against two elements you always can pick one
of the two the boss asks.
Well with this getup there's no way you can get damage.
=============================================================================
Okay, from here Clive has to move separately from Virginia and Co.
Let's go for it.
CLIVE:
001: Exit North
002: = Down the stairs
= Bomb one of the west pillars
= Exit West
006: Down the stairs and hit the exit
007: = Bomb the device (this will free Virginia's team from the
barrier imprisoning them)
= Stand on the yellow switch and remain there
VIRGINIA & CO:
005: = Leave the "prison" to the west
= Exit South
008: = OPTIONAL: Treasure south
= Stand onto the black switch and stay there
CLIVE:
007: Exit South
008: (Detail, when you hug the east wall you can see the one from
Virginia's team you used last)
= Stand onto the yellow switch
VIRGINIA & CO:
008: Exit East
011: Stand onto the yellow switch
CLIVE:
008: Exit West
009: Stand onto the black switch
VIRGINIA & CO:
011: Exit East
012: Go down the stairs and stay at the door
CLIVE:
009: Stand on the yellow switch
VIRGINIA & CO:
012: Door's open now, hit it
013: = OPTIONAL: GALLOWS: You can use the Steady Doll to reach the
treasure chests: Adventure 8, Gella Card
= VIRGINIA: Destroy the wriggling pillar in the center with the
thindercrest
= GALLOWS: Freeze the pillar south (above the target)
= JET: Throw a boomerang to it

014: Go west and wait at the blue door
CLIVE:

014: Exit West
015: Stand on the red button and Virginia and her team has reached
their destination
CLIVE:
009: Exit West
010: Follow the way down and hit the exit
ALL TOGETHER AGAIN:
015: = CLIVE: Pick up the heavy boxes with you gloves and put one on
each switch
= Proceed North
= OPTIONAL: Treasure north-east: Gimel coin and Prism Crown
(mimic), the latter item provides a skill that protects its
bearer against all elements, choose well who you give it to.
= Northern exit west
016: Go West, exit West
017: Follow the road and hit the exit
018: What you need to know here, when you destroy a red wriggling
pillar it will respawn in one second unless you stand onto its
"foot". You can destroy those only by using Clive's bombs.
= Take the most southern path and go to the west side of the
room (and don't get touched by the metal snails)
= CLIVE: Bomb the red pillar here and proceed north
= Follow the road
= GALLOWS: Freeze the transparent pillar
= CLIVE: Bomb it by mulitple boms in succession
= Walk back to the entrance of the room by exactly the same
route you took to get here (don't hit the exit) (a quick way
to do this is to jump off the edge on purpose) :P
= Take the most northern way
= When you reach the exit north, hit it
019: = You will now find the transmitter, sit out the scenario about
it
= Up the stairs and exit north
020: Go North exit North.
Sit out the scenario here, and this will conclude this dungeon.

=============================================================================
Scenario Hub: Mimir's Well
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv83; Clive Lv75; Jet lv78; Gallows lv78
=============================================================================
How to get there:
- Go to Boot Hill
- = Pick up the letter at Ekatrina's grave (in case you missed it, Ekatrina
is Virginia's mother).
= When you check the letter in your inventory and press the menu button
(default = triangle) the coordinates will show: 440, 19520
= Leave Boot Hill
- = Now go to Gunner's Heaven (don't enter it though)
= A bit north here you can find the place (the Sonar Kit is very helpful
here)
=============================================================================
This place is nothing but scenario for now.
Beatrice will appear and give you the key to her castle (which is the next
and also final dungeon).
But more importantly, Werner will now give you all the answers of questions
you might have. Every mystery the game still hid from you will now be
revealed so it's all pretty important.
When you sat out all the scenario everything should be clear to you now, no
more crazy plot twists anymore (well, except one maybe), it's just between
you and Beatrice now.
You'll automatically end up at the graveyard in Boot Hill.
With that the last dungeon can begin, please note that if you've anything
left to do in Filgaia, do it now, though you can get back to Filgaia after
the final dungeon before you go into the final boss fight, lots of
sidequests will be blocked by then and you cannot save anymore then, so if
you have anything to do in Filgaia, do it now.
When you are ready to go for the final dungeon, go to Baskar village first
to discuss some final things with Halle and Shane, and after that the final
mission can begin.
CH400000007
=============================================================================
Dungeon: Nightmare Castle
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv87; Clive Lv79; Jet lv81; Gallows lv83
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Cyclops
= Doomsday
= Doppelganger
= Kelaino
= Stealth Stalker
= Sun Flayer
= Toy Soldier
= Will-o'-the-Wisp
Bosses
= Disaster Fire (optional)
= Disaster Water (optional)
= Disaster Wind (optional)
= Disaster Earth (optional)
= Disaster Moon (optional)
= Disaster Light (optional)
= Disaster Luck
= Tiamat
= Beatrice
=============================================================================
How to get there:
- First you must have spoken to Halle and Shane in Baskar, you'll meet them
at the "inn".
- Now go to the Sacrifical altar and:
001: = Go to the eastside of the building upstairs
= Now go west and take the stairway south
= Follow the path and hit the doorway
002: Well here you'll be sent into the castle
=============================================================================
Overview:
Everything about this dungeon is optional except for beating "Disaster
Luck", "Tiamat" and of course Beatrice herself.
But, unless you are completely shielded against all elements, that's not
the best way to go.
The dungeon contains 7 wings in which the 7th is only required wing. In
here you can meet the Tiamat.
Well here's the deal, each wing contains an anti-guardian named "disaster"
and they all are counterparts of the real guardians and they mimic their
summon moves.
Each disaster you skip will lead to Tiamat being able to use their summon
spell, and he'll use them all in succession.
I STRONGLY recommend to have the "Tracker" device from Millenium Puzzle #10
when taking this place on, as the ability to see room numbers will make the
use of this FAQ to get your through all the (optional) subparts a lot
easier.
Treasure the Exodus Orb, Shane gave you. You may think it to be worthless
as you get it so late in the game, but don't be fooled, you won't survive
this dungeon without it, but that comes later.
Strictly speaking this is a disappearing dungeon. When you completed it you
will return to the world map, and this dungeon will become inaccessible.
However everything you wish to do in sidequests and stuff should be done
BEFORE you finish this dungeon, nobody will be helpful any more after this
dungeon. Inns won't work any more, merchants won't sell you stuff. People
related to sidequests won't do the required stuff any more. The Secret
Garden will be down, savespots will be disabled, and gimel coins and the
relic coin will also be disabled.
All of those setbacks are of a permanent nature, so all you can do after
completing this dungeon is go to Ark of Destiny where you'll get into the
Grand Finale.
SO MAKE SURE YOU'VE DONE EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE CHALLENGING
BEATRICE!!!!

SECTION Moon (rooms 16-21)
This section is on top of my hate list, but you really want to do it, as it
disables the "Merciless Queen" spell from Tiamat and since that is the only
move of his that you cannot get protection against, you very well want that
spell removed from him (though I did manage once to get past him skipping
this section, but maybe the fact that I had all characters on level 100 at
the time, and me forcing it all into a "Finest Arts" had something to do
with that). :P

wrong steps and you fall into the endless pit resetting the

There are two tools that can help you here. Virginia's Thinder
Crest and Gallows' Freezerdoll, I personally prefer the latter
one.
When you hit any gold ball in this palce with one of the
mentioned tools the maze becomes visible for .5 seconds. That's
extremely short, but you can do this unlimmited times. Check the
maze setup as often as you can.
Now I'd love to guide you, but I'm not sure how much help words
can be, but here goes.
= Step into the labyrinth
= At the T-Cross west and follow the road (remember you can
check this all by hitting the ball with the freezerdoll)
= At the intersection west
= Follow the corridor
= At the next intersection the EAST road
= Follow the road (I don't need to tell you to ingore that
dead-end-sideway, do I)
= Somewhere between the second and the third ball will be a road
leading west, hit it
= Follow the road
= You'll eventually end up at the exit
018: Go south, exit south
019: The same deal here, the only diffrence is that this puzzle is a
bit longer and that the balls are not in a straight line as
before.
= Step onto the labyrinth and follow the way (I warn ya, close
to the second ball the road will be hard to see)
= When you are beside ball #3 you'll find an intersection, take
the EAST road there
= When you are directly south of ball #4 take the North road and
immediately the east road
= Around the corner north and immediately east
= At the intersection past the next ball, south and follow the
road
= You'll find an intersection as good as south of the ball, go
straight on there and follow the road
= You'll reach the exit eventually, hit it.
020: Go South, exit South
021: Go South to face the disaster

This is the hardest of the optional disasters as this is the only optional
disaster againt whom you cannot protect yourself by means of personal
skills.
In other words go all out, and save your FP on Virginia and Gallows in case
you need to heal the entire party with either Mystic + Potion/Mega Berry or
Extention + Heal.
This is the only disaster with no elemental weaknesses, and I think brute
force works best. A few Gatlings should work him out.

SECTION WATER (rooms 4-9)
003: = Pick up one of the glass boxes
= Throw it against the pyramid east
= Hit the exit next to that pyramid
004: Follow the corridor and exit north
005: Right, here's the deal, as soon as you step onto the platform it
will form a road you gotta follow, but you gotta be quick as the
road will disppear very soon.
You got me? Cool
= West onto the platform and follow the road it follows until
you reach the center platform
= That was easy, but now onto the east road and another go at
this.
= Once you made it exit North
006: Go North, exit North
007: = First of all use the change crest to get onto the center
platform
Now before you do anything, this one is a bit more difficult as
the road will now split into multiple dead end roads. However
one of them leads to a place where you can warp over to a ECN
Gem with the change crest.
So before you activate this all, make sure you have Virginia in
the lead with the change crest tool.
Now it will hardly make sense to sum it up as I normally do, but
as soon as the road splits make sure you find the way to the
west and after that north and sooner or later your "hook-on" gem
will be east of you. I hope you follow, as the puzzle is not
"hard" to see how it goes, but you need quick reflexes so you
may need some practice rounds
Once you made it, exit North
008: Go North, exit North
009: Go North to face the disaster

The fight begins as a normal disaster fight and if you fought the other
disasters (as I recommended you so) I've nothing new to tell here, aside
from the fact that you cannot ward yourself against Unlucky Shot (which
does far more damage than the real Luck Guardian does).
When you dealt it enough damage it will transform into Tiamat, and all
Tiamat can do is do his spell "Total Disaster" in which he mimics Unlucky
Shot, but also all summon moves of the disasters you did not yet beat.
Unless you warded yourself against all elements you won't survive that, so
I strongly recommend to have beaten all disasters and if you did this fight
will be over soon.

| Final Boss:
+----------------
| Nega Filgaia
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv100; Clive Lv95; Jet lv97; Gallows lv99
=============================================================================
This boss has 10 forms, defeat one form to advance to the other until you
beat the 10th form.
FORM 1: Looks like strange jello
This one is a bit confusing (and maybe the most confusing form), but not
really hard.
It will gather the damage you do to it and deal that back at the end of the
turn. After a few turns it will split in two.
FORM 2: Something that's just hatched from an egg
This one is just attack when you can and heal if you must, however there's
one tiny twist to this, if you take longer than 4 turns or so, it will
reset the this round meaning you got to start over, so speed is an issue
here.
I strongly recommend to be warded completely against paralysis.
FORM 3: A jellyfish or so?
This one requires a special use of guardians or you simply won't be able to
hurt it at all.
First of all, make sure Virginia has full FP (anyone will do as long as
it's not Clive) and put the Cosmic Cog medium on her.
Clive should have a full ammo magazine for this.
Now every turn
Virginia: Cast Replay on Clive
Clive: Shoot
Jet and Gallows simply don't matter.
Keep this up until it goes to form #4.
FORM 4: 4 Lizards
If you had to move the Cosmic Cog medium in the last fight, put your
guardian setup in the right order.
This fight is easy, have Virginia to mystic an elemental gem, and let
Gallows use Extention + a spell of the opposite element.
FORM 5: Too crazy dino like creatures
Just kill these in any order you wish, but keep in mind that they can
recover themselves to full HP, so make sure you do this quickly.
FORM 6: Is this a dragon?
The more elemental defenses the better as this form will put them all on
you in one turn with "Arcana Disaster".
Other than that no threat.
FORM 7: Yeah, what does this look like?
There's not much to note about this form. A typical
attack-when-you-can-heal-if-you-must situation.
FORM 8 & FORM 9 A dark angel and a light one
These are two forms, but both work with the same strategy.
Both bosses require that you worked out your MTC as far as you could and a
few Full Carrots won't hurt here either.
The boss is protected against all attacks by means of its little helpers.
As soon as you kill such a helper a new one will be summoned so that
doesn't work.
Guardians do help you here. For Form 8 the Light Guardian (Flash Hit) will
do, for Form 9 Luceid (Lust Jaw) is best.
FORM 10: Whatever it is, it's ugly :P
I really hope you got the violator.
Equip it to anybody and have him/her out of bullets but full FP then do a
Gatling with that person and the boss is dead.
Before you do this, you may want to steal from it first to get an EX File
Key.
=============================================================================
CONGRATULATIONS! YOU'VE COMPLETED WILD ARMS 3RD ADVANCED!!!
After the ending scenario + credits screen you'll be able to save an EX
File.
In this file you can use extra features depending on how much EX File Keys
you collected during the game.
You can NOT get back into the regular game from this file, so it's strongly
recommended to use an empty slot for this.

SIDEQUESTS
You want sidequests? There are loads of them in Wild Arms 3. Maybe even too
much (well the later Wild Arms games have even more, gimme a break).
Well, all sidequests have in common that you DON'T HAVE TO DO THEM in order
to clear the game, however some sidequests are very helpful as their
rewards can get you much further in the game.
There are also sidequests which only score you an EX File Key. These keys
have no importance whatsoever in the game (only amateurs would claim
otherwise on that), but they make a nice trophy, as they can unlock some
useless extra features once you completed the game (see EX File Keys for
more information).
Is a sidequest worth the trouble?
Well check out the reward I'd say. :)
SID00000002
=============================================================================
Sidequest: Martina van Basten
=============================================================================
Available: Once you reach Clayborne, however you'll need to advance in the
game to complete it
Reward: EX File Key
I've always wondered.... Is Marina van Basten named after a certain Dutch
soccer player or not?
Anyway, Martina lives with her "evil" aunt in an inn in Clayborne, after
her mother travelled the world in search of money to pay her debts.
Martina wants to find her missing mother and as soon as you talk to her in
Clayborne she decides to take on the journey.
Now she'll pop up in many cities (and one railway station) and you need to
check up on her.
So it's basically going to all cities in the order I describe below to find
her.
Please note (especially when you got the teleport orb) Marina needs time to
travel, so she won't appear immediately at a new location. If you want to
make sure you'll meet her there you can either take on one or two dungeons,
or take any inn that's NOT in the place where Martina will appear, and rest
2 or 3 times and if you go there then, she'll be there.
(With finding random inns, I recommend either Humphrey's Peak (except the
times Martina should be there), or Baskar, as you can rest there for free).
Here's the list of locations you'll find her
I: Martina starts out in the inn in Clayborne
II: Westwood on the train platform
III: Little Rock (at the inn)
IV: Little Twister
V: Humphrey's Peak (in house south-east)
VI: Humphrey's Peak (under the little roff north-east of the
village)
VII: Jolly Roger (at the inn)
VIII: Ballack Rise (next to the boy David).
IX: At the top floor at the inn in Laxisland
With that Martina has reached her destination, but it's not over yet.
Martina's mother has fallen ill and Martina fears for her life (from this
moment on, the inn in Laxisland is unavailable for resting until this
sidequest has been completed).
So let's help her.
X: Go to Humprey's Peak and speak there to Cheville (the nurse who
mistook Martina for her own daughter), she should be walking
around in town, and she'll tell you she'll go to Laxisland right
away (of course, Cheville too needs time to travel, so it will
take her awhile to get there).
XI: You will find Cheville now at Martina's side in Laxisland. Speak
to everybody.
XII: Come back to Laxisland again, the setup should be the same, but
Mileux, Martina's mother should be cured now, if she's not, rest
in a random town and come back here.
XIII: This time, no travel time is required, you can go directly to
Clayborne and meet Mileux and Martina there, speak to Martina
here to obtain an EX File Key.
Now, as a side effect to this sidequest you can meet Myra, the "evil" aunt
of Martina's in Little Twister and speak to her, but this has no further
concequence at all for the game.

Dungeon: Decaying Labyrinth
(Secret Garden)
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv18; Clive Lv18; Jet lv19; Gallows lv19

Available: As soon as you buy horses, though I recommend to wait until you
got the Flash Hit medium.
Reward: Grow your own healing items in the Secret Garden
=============================================================================
Enemies:
= Rachael
= Undead Reptile
= Rat Monkey
Boss
= Ring Keeper
=============================================================================
How to get there:
During chapter 1 and 2 you can best go by train to Midland Station (unless
you are already in the Baskar / Jolly Roger area) and call your horses
During chapter 3 and 4, just fly over there with Lombardia.
You need to get over the gorge west of the Fallen Sanctuary. At the end is
the Secret Garden. Speak to the girl here, and she'll ask a favor from you
to lift the curse of Decaying labyrinth.
Now the dungeon is near the gorge
=============================================================================
Overview:
Before you begin, it's very important that you bring the Flash Hit, your
life depends on it.
The first part of this dungeon is pretty regular, and the enemies are easy
and all of them are weak to light.
Halfaway the dungeon you'll meet the Ring Leader, once you defeated him,
you can take the cursed ring and you have to carry it out of the castle and
if you succeed the curse is lifted, and with that you can start growing
heal berries and stuff in the secret garden, HOWEVER once you pick up that
ring, your max hp will be reduced to 1 and will remain that way until you
completed the dungeon.
You may want a high migrant level, in order to skip as many random
encounters as possible, but when you use light spells a lot, you should be
able to get through this easily.
When you can make it out of the place, lifting the curse, your max HP will
be restored to its former value.
=============================================================================
001: North and enter the building
002: Go North, exit North
003: Go North, exit North
004: Follow the road, Exit East
005: Ah, a puzzle at last.
= Push the block east once
= Go to the center and step onto the switch plate
= West, and at the end North
= Push the block North
= From here exit West
006: Follow the road and hit the exit North
007: = Step onto the switch under the bridge
= Exit North
008: Go North, exit North

back THAT way.

My levels: Virginia Lv18; Clive Lv18; Jet lv19; Gallows lv19
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Mighty Swing
= Attack
- Phantom Hazard
= Darkness attack on entire party
- Anti-Arcana Zone
= Block all arcana for several turns.
=============================================================================
The difficulty of this guy really depends on the level you have when you
take him on. That appears obvious, but as the Ring Leader is the first
optional boss that becomes available (in theory you can take him on during
chapter 1 already), it counts for this guy more than any other boss in the
game.
The levels I displayed above make him not easy, but not hard either.
First of all, he's weak to light, so it seems pretty obvious that going
crazy with Spectre will get you pretty far, and I had Virginia on the job.
Gallows was healing.
Jet and Clive should just attack. And those two must be aware of the fact
that the Ring Keeper will counter almost any attack, so keeping a little
cease-fire for damage control when Gallows can't keep it up with the
healing can be a good idea.
When getting dangerously low in HP, he'll summon a "No Arcana Zone", and as
the name suggests, it will block all Arcana for quite some turns. That also
means that the healing will have to go on items as well. Please note that
Force != Arcana.... For those who don't speak C, that means that you can
still use force abilities, and thus Virginia can use Mystic if needed.
=============================================================================
Now the game prompts you to take the ring or not. In order to complete the
sidequest you have to do it, but doing so will reduce your Max HP to 1 for
the rest of the sidequest (and your VIT will be reduced to 0). Also you
cannot use your Gimel Coins to save your game for the rest of the dungeon
(continuing after being wiped still works).
009: Are you ready? Then take the ring and exit North
010: Follow the road and exit West
011: = North
= Follow the road
= Exit South
012: = Push the block south once
= West and step onto the switch
= South and push the block until it falls out of the puzzle
(you'll step onto a switch in the process)
= Step on the west and east switches
= Move the block south-east either one position North or East
= Go to the spot where the last block you moved used to be and
hit the exit south
013: = Hit the western way south
= Exit South
014: Follow the road and exit East
007: Cross the bridge and exit East
015: Follow the road and exit North

the puzzle

Sidequest: Gunner's Heaven
=============================================================================
Available: As soon as chapter 3 begins
Reward: Several rewards, with an EX File Key as final reward.
=============================================================================
Gunner's Heaven is an arena for gladiator style combat. Risk your life for
the amusement of the audience.
There are three leagues, each must be beaten under a certain turn limit to
unlock the next league.
You will NOT get experience or Gella in these battles and the prices you
gain are depenend on how many rounds you did per league and if you did beat
the turn limit.
After beating league three (regardless of the fact if you beat the turn
limit or not) the optional boss "Emperor Marduck" gets unlocked here. When
you beat him you can challenge Ortega who'll appear as the optional boss
"Bad News". If you can beat him you'll score the EX-File Key and conclude
this sidequest.
The first league is part of the mainquest, but to keep this section
complete it's still noted here.
Let's first take out the three leagues.
=============================================================================
Gunner's Heaven - League 1
Prizes: Antidote x3, Heal Berry x4, Revive Fruit, Potion Berry, 5000 Gella
One-time Prize: Item Scope - Allows you to find treasures on the world map
Turn Limit: 25
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv41; Clive Lv40; Jet lv40; Gallows lv40
=============================================================================
ROUND:1: GANGA x3
This round is the one that can take longest as these three are
you thoughest opponents in this league.
They have no weaknesses, and they cancel your moves. I do
recommend you not to go crazy on summons or anything as you need
it for the next round.
If you already obtained Raftina, you can speed this battle up by
casting the spell, weaken. Any element will do as long as you
immediately attack your weakened target with the same element.
ROUND:2: WENDIGO x1
This guy is weak to wind, and you can save yourself a lot of
turns if you exploit that weakness.
ROUND:3: SHAMBLING MOUND x6
Summon Moor Gault (Fiery Rage Medium) and if the summoner has
quite some FP you'll be rid of these in only one turn.
ROUND:4: BALOR x1
This guy is quite a master of disease attacks, I recommend you
to cure that status with the Clearance spell as soon as it
appears.
He's weak to thunder, and I suggest to exploit that weakness.
ROUND:5: ARMORDRAKE x1
He has a thick armor (which is empowered by a shield spell which
you can dispell with eraser).
He is also weak to wind. Easy opponent.
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
Gunner's Heaven - League 2
Prizes: Peppy Acorn x3, Grab Bag, Gimel Coin x3, Gella Card, 10,000 Gella
One-time Prize: Sonar Kit - Marks undiscovered locations and treasure on
the worldmap
Turn Limit: 20
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv66; Clive Lv59; Jet lv57; Gallows lv59
=============================================================================
ROUND:1: MERCURIUS X4
These guys have no weaknesses and thunder will "activate" them,
in other words, make them stronger or give them new abilities,
so don't use that.
They can put up quite some attack, but they are not that hard,
but they can be harsh on your turn limit.
ROUND:2: GASHER SKELETON X3
It's easy to guess that these undead guys are weak to light, so
you'd do well to exploit that weakness to make it up for the
turns you lost in round #1.
ROUND:3: BAMULVRIS
Weak to both ice and fire, so exploit one of those weaknesses
and you can have this done in a flash.
ROUND:4: AUDHUMLA & SLEIPNIR
This battle can be troublesome. First get rid of Sleipnir, as
he's a master in instant kill attacks. He's weak to fire, and I
suggest you abuse that fact.
Audhumla is less of a treat, it's just that you need to get rid
of him fast. He's weak to wind and frost
ROUND:5: EGREGORI
Just let everybody summon any guardian that does a significant
attack (that can be Grudiev(Terra Roar), Stare Roe(Flash Hit),
Moor Gault(Fiery Rage), Zephyr (Hope Shard), Schturdark (Aqua
Whisp), Fengalon (Gale Claw) or Luceid(Lust Jaw).
=============================================================================
=============================================================================
Gunner's Heaven - League 3
Prizes: Seed Powder x3, Nectar x3, Holy Root, Lucky Card, 30,000 Gella
One-time Prize: Relic Coin - Allows you to save wherever you want for free
Turn Limit: 15
=============================================================================
My levels: Virginia Lv74; Clive Lv69; Jet lv69; Gallows lv70
=============================================================================
For the sidequest you DON'T have to make it in the turn limit, unless you
want the money and the Relic Coin that is, but that coin ain't worth it.
For the sidequest as a whole you just need to survive all 5 rounds, that's
all.
ROUND:1: Daredevil x3
Pretty straightforward opponents. They are weak to Earth and
exploiting that weakness can shorten this fight.
They can paralyze you, so be prepared for that.
ROUND:2: Sphere x6
Summon Lucied (Lust Jaw).... byebye.... :)
ROUND:3: Death Mask
This guy lowers your defenses all the time, which is quite
annoying.
Ocasionally he casts "Asphixiation" which can cause instant kill
to somebody.
If you want to exploit a weakness... it's light
ROUND:4: Dantalon
This guy has two phases. It starts in closed phase and in the
next turn it'll be open phase and so it'll switch between the
phases.
In closed phase it's immune to physical attacks, so Arcana will
have to do there. In open phase it's not vulnarable to Arcana so
then you'll have to rely on Physical attacks, that's the
picture.
ROUND:5: Doll Done
This guy is immune to all physical attacks, and all it can do is
kill you instantly. If you protected yourself against that, then
this guy cannot hurt you at all.
Arcana will have to do to kill him, and I recommend to use the
"Weaken" spell, pick any element you feel good with, and keep
exploiting the weakness you gave him until he's dead.
The skill "Weakness" can speed this fight up, as well as casting
"Feeble Mind" on him.
=============================================================================
With the three leagues out of the way (in which it doesn't matter if you
beat the turn limit in league 3), we can get on with the sidequest.
- Enter the Arena (just walk in, don't talk to Ortega)
- Exit West
- Up the stairs and hit the exit at the top.
- = Speak to the gentlemen here
= Accept his challenge for a battle.

| Emperor Marduck
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv74; Clive Lv69; Jet lv69; Gallows lv70
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Restoration
= 2800+ healing
- Agony Effect
= 600+ damage on one target
- Satelite Extinction
= 1600+ damage on entire party.
- Screaming Mad
= Dark Attack one target
=============================================================================
This fight is pretty easy when well prepared.
Your preparations should be
= Having obtained Zephyr (Hope Shard) Raftina (Love Charm) and Luceid (Lust
Jaw)
= Having all your characters completely resistent against Darkness
= Heaving either the Attachment spell or a spare dark ring
Turn #1:
= Have Lust Jaw and Love Charm on Virginia and make her cast 'Weaken'+'Dark
Element'
= Have the boys to do whatever you feel is best.
Turn #2 + #3
= Either have Hope Shard and Lust Jaw on the same person and have him to
cast Attachment on both Clive and Jet, or have Virginia to Mystic the
Dark Ring on both gentlemen I mentioned.
Turn #4
= Make your guardian setup as you normally play.
= The one having Zephyr should cast "Permanence" on both Jet and Clive to
make sure the attachment of the previous two turns remains on till the
end of the battle
= Mystic a Lucky Card if you got enough FP for that
= Use a Gella Card
With that your setup is complete, now I hope you got the time as this boss
has quite a lot of HP and since he heals himself it can take even longer,
however that's what I made him weak for darkness for putting the Darkness
attachement on the strongest attackers.
A few ways you can do to speed it even more up is by means of Finest Arts
(see Finest Arts chapter in the Backgrounds section) or by making the one
carrying the Love Charm cast "Copy Ability" and use "Screaming Mad" against
you, this of course only when you got that medium on either Virginia or
Gallows, on Jet or Clive that thing is useless.
In general this guy is a pushover, if it weren't for his "Satelite
Extinction" spell that will hurt you quite bad, and too bad, it's
non-elemental so you cannot protect yourself from it. For that reason I
recommend you to have Virginia always at 25+ FP so that you always have the
possibility to Mystic a Potion or (even better) mega berry, which you
should basically do when two or more party members are getting below 2000
HP.
=============================================================================
The reward for this fight is a "Dist Dims", which is quite an interesting
item if you plan to take on the Abyss. It gives you a skill that restores
MTC as you walk. Equip it on the person you use most for summoning
guardians (in my case that was Virginia, but I can imagine you use Gallows
for that).
- Go back to the entrance room
- = Speak to Ortega (the bartender and arena master) and pick "Chat"
= Accept his challenge for battle

My levels: Virginia Lv80; Clive Lv73; Jet lv75; Gallows lv76

Abilities:
- Believe in yourself
= Heal 3000+
- Counter Tomahawk
= Whoever attacks Bad News will be attacked him/herself.
- Power Mountain Load
= Strong Melee attack
- Rocket Bazooka
= 900+ melee attack, can cause Amnesia
- Hatchet Blow
= Melee attack, can cause confusion
=============================================================================
This fight takes forever... well, he will get to his knees eventually, but
be prepared to waste some valuable hours on this fight.
First of all, mystic a Lucky Card, as no enemy in the entire game gives
more experience than this guy, and you surely wouldn't want that to go to
waste. (100,000 experience points), with 120,000 Gella, you also got
yourself a lot of cash, so using a Gella Card here is also a good idea.
Now this fight is not exactly "hard", it's just the healing he does that
gets you.
As this fight is already going to take awhile there's no hurt at all in
using all powerup spells you have and seal it all of with Permanence.
There's no point in using "Weaken" to break through his healing like you
could do with Emperor Marduk, because he's immune to it.
The only way to give yourself a possibility to lead this fight to an end,
is by dealing extremely much damage in one attack and the only attack that
can do that is "Finest Arts". For that you need the item "Violator"
equipped and the skill "Finest Arts" set to maximum.
Have that person to go to full FP, and make sure he/she is out of bullets
and then use Gatling and look what happens. :)
After you did your finest arts move, just reload and keep fighting until
you reach 100 FP once more, and use Gatling again with no ammo.
Just keep up that cycle until Bad News gives in.
One tiny point to keep in mind, he has a confusion and amnesia attack, so
if you don't have a status ward against it, seal it away with "Status
Lock"+"Permanence".

When this battle is won the sidequest is completed and you'll gain an EX

Sidequest: Uncle Gob
=============================================================================
Reward: EX File Key
=============================================================================
This is a sidequest that you basically start on the very first step you
make on the worldmap, which is basically during the prologue when Gallows
has to go to the Fallen Sanctuary.
Uncle Gob is a goblin who wants to travel the world, but he doesn't dare to
because he's affraid people will attack him for what he is. But you can
help him. When you bought a map from Royman you can see it's pretty blank.
By going over a spot on the map it gets colored.
To solve this sidequest all you gotta do is color the entire map by simply
going over it.
Well, in basic you start this at the start of the game already, but in
order to complete you will need Lombardia as some spots cannot be reached
without him/her... whatever.
I also strongly suggest you have the Map Scope, which you can obtain in the
cellar of the Ark of Destiny.
You can do this pretty easily. I suggest you start at Humphrey's Peak (as
that's the place where Uncle Gob is hidden). Now pick a direction N, S, E,
W and stick to that direction for the entire go.
Now fly straight in that direction until you get back at Humprey's Peak
eventually. Now if you go E or W go one spot N or S, land Lombardia to fix
your camera right, fly up and go straight again, and keep this up until you
got the entire map. You follow?
When the map has been completed, go to Humprey's Peak, and go down the
stairs into the empty canal. There step under the bridge and go North. You
cannot see what happens down here but at the end you can click and when you
are lucky you'll find Uncle Gob. He'll tell you how much % you completed,
and when you make the full 100% he'll give you an EX File Key.

Sidequest: Telepath Towers
=============================================================================
Available: As soon as you defeated the Prophets in Ruins of Memory
(CH300000015)
Reward: Tons of EXP points and an EX File Key
Warning: Due to a bug in the game, you cannot start up this sidequest after
completing Deus Ex Machina, however if you already did one or more towers
before that dungeon, then everything's cool.
=============================================================================
This sidequest may be a bit boring, but it's thanks to this sidequest that
getting your entire party to level 100 (which is the max level) is easier
than in any other RPG game.
The basics are easy to understand. A guy in Laxisland is ranting like crazy
about an encroaching alien attack. His ranting is too silly for words, but
despite everything... he's right... aliens are trying to take over the
world. Damn.
The aliens placed Telepath Towers all around the world. Your first
objective is to destroy them all, however, there are a few tricks to to
them.
To start up this sidequest, beat the Prophets first in Ruins of Memory
(CH300000015), once you did that go to Laxisland and speak to Roswell. Now
the towers should be unlocked. Now search the world for these towers, and
they'll appear as a mini-boss, showing three pillars and you got to destroy
all three and the tower will count as destroyed.
All towers can either do "Hyperion Blaster" or cause a status change (the
diagram below will show you where all towers are and which status change
they'll cause).

+----+---------------+----------------+-------------------------------------+
When you destroyed 5 towers the aliens will come into the field... Hey, we
know this fellow. A guy by the name of "Creeping Chaos", or "Hayonkonton"
as the true Wild Arms fans know this guy under. After beating him they'll
come everywhere at the worldmap and they'll give you TONS of EXP when
defeating them. When you are protected against all status changes they'll
easily get your EXP bonus rate to x9.9 and since they already give 10,000
exp each, well there you go. If you want to grind levels you now got your
easiest way to do it.
When you destroyed 14 towers there'll be UFO coming over the dunes in the
form of random encounters. They are all pathetically easy.
When you destroy 5 UFOs in the dunes you'll also be encountering them as
random encounters in the sky.
When you destroyed all 15 regular towers, a special tower named Telepath
Tower #0 will appear near Boot Hill (see diagram above on how to access
it).
When you destroyed all telepath towers (including tower #0), destroyed 5
UFOs in the Dunes and 20 in the sky you may encounter the boss "Mothership"
in the sky.
The Mothership is easy to kill, but before you take the Mothership down,
make sure you don't wanna go level grinding any more. As soon as you take
down the Mothership this sidequest is over, you'll get your EX File Key
then, but the Creeping Chaos enemies will also be removed from the game,
and with that your most powerful source of Experience Points, so you want
to do this as looooong time as you can take on this :)

The Mothership is a battle in the air, so you gotta use Lombardia for this.

little damage.
Just go all out with your attacks (if you really need use your powerup
spells) and this battle will soon be over, and don't worry about healing as
you're not gonna need that.
=============================================================================
When you win the battle against Mothership the next things happen
= The "Creeping Chaos" enemy will be removed from the game, so you can no
longer meet them through random encounters

sky, so you cannot meet them any more either

=============================================================================
Sunset Peak is a station somewhere on the world map, but you cannot get
there on foot, neither by horse nor sandcraft nor Lombardia.
In order to get there you must have completed Millenium Puzzle #14 and have
obtained the Teleport Orb. If you don't have that thing this won't work.
When you got the teleport orb go to Southfarm (station North-East of Boot
Hill).
Buy a ticket to East Highlands and board the train. You will now end up in
Sunset Peak.
Once you arrived there bump the clock to find an EX File Key.
When you leave Sunset Peak you are at the spot where the hardest (world)
random encounters can be found.
You can access Millenium Puzzle #20 here and (when you use your call
whistle to call for your horses) Telepath Tower #15.
Directly west of Sunset Peak you can find a Migrant Seal too.
The only way to leave this area is by means of the Teleport Orb.

- Maelstrom

=============================================================================
I think the game creators made a bit of a mistake here, making a monster of
water, the master of the sea, giving him WATER for a weakness.
Well, it gives us the possibility to use his own power against him.
First of all with 95000 Experience points, this guy gives the second most
EXP than any other any other enemy in the game (1st is Bad News in Gunner's
Heaven). So a Lucky Card and Gella Card are a good idea (as he also has a
lot of cash).
Now I recommend to have all characters completely shielded with [Water]
Ward. Aqua Wisp has this by default and of course you can ues Water rings
on the other characters. As he goes crazy with "Maelstrom" your EXP rate
will get quite high.
Now a long and boring fight awaits you as Kraken has a highload of HP. You
can sit that out slowly (and as this fight is easy, hey why not), this will
get you a lot of EXP... mean mean each time he uses "Maelstrom" (his
favorite spell), the entire party gets 9500 extra experience points... It
does pay off..
If you are a bit more impatient, then make Clive and Jet have the water
element attached by either the attachment spell or by Mystic+Water Ring.
Copying his abilities with "Copy Ability" works here, as it enables you to
use his own power against him. So quick or slow, it's up to you.

- Wheel Laser
= Non-Elemental Attack entire party
- Numb Light
= Amnesia at one target
=============================================================================
Bombur is not hard, though he can be dangerous when underlevelled, so a bit
of caution is required.
First of all with 60,000 EXP and 72,000 Gella, it's a very good idea to use
a Gella Card and to Mystic a Lucky Card.
Most of his attacks are pathetic and easily healed through. His Wheel Laser
is dangerous, but only because it hits the entire party, the damage it does
is hardly worth mentioning, but when he uses it several turns, it sucks...
:)
If I recall correctly "The Hobbit" by J. Tolkien did contain a dwarf named
Bombur who suffered from Amnesia in some point of the story, and this boss
puts that part into play as he'll try to put the Amnesia status on you.
Pretty annoying, but that's all it is.
All in all, Bombur is not hard, though being level 70 or higher is
recommended.

The wisest course of action is to make the entire party summon a guardian

Shard will do).
This will make the battle last shortest, as their Grav + Agony combo is
deadly.
A way to get extra power to do this is by letting Virginia Mystic a Full
Carrot and let all the other do a summon.
No guarantees here, but luck can get you far here.
Even though you'll get 90000 EXP for this one, using a Lucky Card here
costs a turn and will lead to your death.

She looks the same as her Wild Arms 1 counterpart but she's not even half
as terrible, and any level you can have at this point is fine to get her
killed.
If you were so lucky you could shield your party members against ice she
can't even hurt you at all, but when you are not that lucky, her attacks
are pathetic and very easily healed through.
Her "Cold Sleep" can be annoying, but nothing you cannot ward against
through skills, and when you cannot ward against it, just cast status lock
and be done with that.
Even in low levels you can kill her in a few blows, stunting with
high-damage moves like "Finest Arts" is a waste of effort here.
=============================================================================
Once you killed Lolithia an Ice Ring will drop.
And that should cover everything about this place.

The Abyss is the most boring dungeon in the game, and it will eat a lot of
time, time in which you cannot save your game in any one and if you got to
quit halfaway you can only either leave your PlayStation on till you get
back, or start the entire place over when you got more time.
To shorten this time I strongly recommend you to have all Migrant Seals so
that you can at least skip 95% of the random encounters, but even this way
you should be prepared to do this in ??? hours at least.
You've been here before to get the Dragon Idol, but back then you only had
to do the first ten floors, now we're going for the full 100.
The levels I show above are my levels, and it would be unwise to be lower
than that, unless you really know what you are doing.
What is very important is that you are completely shielded against fire on
all characters if you want to survive the entire dungeon as this is the
place where Ragu o Ragla dwells. He's easy, but his fire attacks will kill
you instantly without this protection.
Being completely shielded against other elements is a good idea as well.
Let's make up a checklist of minimum preparations
= All levels 90 or above
= Be completely shielded against fire (!!!)
= If possible be completely shielded against other elements as well
= Have migrant level 20, so you can skip most encounters
= You might consider having the Dist Dims equipped on either Virginia or
Gallows so the one who has it can summon A LOT of guardians during all
this.
= Make sure you have nothing else to do, as this will east TIME!!!
Well, level 1 is the entrance level in which you just can move to the
teleporter
In room 1-99 goes that you have to collect all blue gems (which will act as
both VIT and ECN gem), and when you got them all the exit to the next level
will open.
A few tips:
= Cancel all encounters whenever possible
= Take note of where you start the dungeon. Dropping off on purpose will
get you back there but the floor won't reset, so you can save some time
with that.
= Never use the Gale Crest unless you know what you are doing.
= It never hurts to study the floor a little before you start, so you can
find the quickest way to go.
Let's discuss the bosses ;)
Floor 10:
+---------
| Boss:
+----------------
| Ephrem Zein
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv43; Clive Lv42; Jet lv41; Gallows lv42
=============================================================================
Just a recount of the old strategy as you SHOULD have this one before, and
if you did it won't appear again, but just to make my FAQ here complete ;)
This boss is very very easy. At the start of each turn it will call
intercepts, at the end it cancels them. Any attack between them will be
countered with a big light spell.
Clive, slowpoke as he is, always acts after it's all cancelled (unless you
are overlevelled, which is in your disadvantage here).
So let everyblody guard and let Clive do the attacking and you get through
this without a scratch.
A few things the others can do
= If you have a Dark Ring, Mystic it on Clive.
= If you don't have a Dark Ring, but you do have the Brave Seal Medium,
then cast Hyper on Clive.
= Mystic a Lucky Card, lots of EXP here
= Use a Gella Card, you don't wanna miss this cash.
That's all :)
Reward: Dragon Idol - Allows you go obtain Hope Shard

=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Prepare intercepts
= Be ready until "Intercepts Cancelled"
- Phantom Hazard
= Dark attack on all targets
=============================================================================
This boss is similar to Emphrem Zein, but a few significant diffrences.
First of all, this time there's three of them, and they use "Phantom
Hazard" to counter.
As you should be completely shielded against all elements (and Darkness is
very easy to ward against) this boss may not cause any trouble at all, so
attack away and gain lots of EXP+ chains for warding off that darkness.
When there's only one of them left, it will stop countering your moves and
just go crazy with Phantom Hazard.
This is all too easy.
Reward: Booster Kit - You should have them all now, if not check my Migrant
Seal section

Abilities:
- Prepare intercepts
= Be ready to counter until "Intercepts Cancelled"
- Paradigm Pollution
= Non elemental magic attack on all targets
- Combine together
= Devours all comrades to become one stronger being
=============================================================================
Between "Prepare Intercepts" and "Intercepts Cancelled" they will counter
all attacks with "Paradigm Pollution" and there's no way to protect
yourself against that spell, so don't push your luck.
Just Let Clive be the only one to attack and nothing will happen.
After several turns one of the three will devour the others and become
stronger, but this doesn't change a thing for the strategy I just
described.
Reward: Bone - When used with Mystic it'll cast a random spell

- 100 Billion Degrees
= Ridiculously strong fire attack that will kill the entire party (unless
you are warded against fire).
- Paradigm Pollution
= Non-Elemental attack on entire party. Strickly used to counter your
offensive Arcana
=============================================================================
It's ridiculous how easy Ragy is in Wild Arms 3.
If you levelled up well, it'll be a rarity that his melee attacks hit you,
and if you cast "Turbulence" + "Permanence" on the entire party the chance
will be even lower (only Gallows will appear to be a problem child here,
but he can easily heal through that, so no problem).
When you have your entire party protected against fire, his "100 Billion
Degrees" spell that would normally guarantee a "Game Over" will be
completely nullified.
The most notable setback is the fact that fight will take a loooooong while
to beat. Using the Finest Arts skill can shorten this fight.
You won't get experience points, nor will you get any money, so using Lucky
Cards and Gella Cards is pointless
Reward: Sheriff Star - Activates all other skills you have regardless if
the PS cost allows it.

=============================================================================
This version is supposed to be very extremely hard, but this is a point
where the game makers failed big way, as he's very very easy, and absurdly
boring too.
When you see the ability list above, I guess you already understand that
the key to winning the battle is easy, just be warded against all elements
as far as possible (fire in particular). When you are completely warded
against all elements or at least 6 or 7 per character you've pretty little
chances to lose this battle.
The downside is that he has extremely much HP and a terribly high defenses.
As he counters all Arcana with a pretty heavy spell you cannot ward
against, you cannot use that rendering Virginia and Gallows pretty useless
when it comes to the attack.
Clive and Jet can hurt him, but it has pretty little deal, so it can take
forever. So Finest Arts is your key here.
When it comes to Finest Arts, amateurs will waste a lot of Full Carrots,
the pros however know that it takes very little time to get your FP full
again to perform another Finest Arts, and since Ragu O Ragla is not very
likely to hurt you when you are well prepared, there's no hurry at all.
I had Clive with Finest Arts and 5 bullets on his ARM, and he was the only
person I used for this, though I did use Gallows to cast "Turbulence" and
used Jet to seal it with Permanence. For the rest I used Gallows only for
the rare moments I really needed a heal spell (when you are lucky those
moment don't happen at all).
Now it's just a matter of shooting until you run out of bullets and reached
100 FP, then do the Gatling, triggering Finest Arts, reloading and starting
that cycle over, and mostly running out of bullets and reaching 100 FP
match on the same time and so you can do this over and over. It requires a
little more patience, but that pays off and those few extra minutes you
need for this outweigth the needless loss of items.

SEALED BOSSES
Sealed bosses can be found all over the world, most of all in dungeons.
They are in seals that have a bit of a atomic look with a red core with
blue ovals circling around it.
In order to open the seal to challenge the boss inside you need to stand as
close to it as possible and let Gallows play the Kramer Doll.
Beating one can give you a very nice reward which you mostly cannot get
otherwise. Below is a list of all these bosses, you need to decide yourself
if the reward is worth it.
What you should note is that the sealed bosses, are not per definition
harder than regular bosses, but most of them are significantly stronger.
Therefore you should have taken a few things in order before starting on
them.
1: Make sure that all characters are at a decent level. In my list
below note the level I had on my lowest level character at the
time I took the boss on for this FAQ. I STRONGLY recommend to be
at least as high as I was, unless you really know what you are
doing!
2: Have a good supply of Potion Berries, or even better Mega
Berries. You can grow them in the Secret Garden, and you really
should have that going by now.
3: What I cannot note in my quick overview (so read the boss
strategies itself) is that you do need certain personal skills.
Personal skills are the most important part of your preparation
as bosses that could be impossible to beat can become extremely
easy when you got the right personal skills (and maybe the great
traditional Ragu o Ragla is the best example of that).
Except for Ragu O Ragla and Arioch, all sealed bosses give a crapload of
experience and cash, so if you want to use your Lucky Cards and Gella
Cards... Well... there you go :)
Let's first have a quick overview of the Sealed Bosses, and their
locations:
Boss Location Floor: MyLvl: Reward:
==== ======== ====== ====== =======
Arioch Den of Miasma 38 38 EX File Key
Powered Trask Ka Dingel 7 53 Golden Dawn
Heimdal Gazzo Disection Fac. 12 59 Gold Pass - Sell prices down
John Day Green Lodge N/A 82 ?
Ragu O Ragla 1 Abyss 100 94 Sheriff Star (all skills)
Ragu O Ragla 2 Abyss 1 94 EX File Key
The floor numbers can be seen on your screen when you have the "Tracker"
from Millenium Puzzle #10.

+---------
| Sealed Boss:
+----------------
| Arioch
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv38; Clive Lv38; Jet lv38; Gallows lv38
=============================================================================
How to find it:
You need to go to Den of Miasma (Clive's Prologue Dungeon), to get there,
board Lombardia from Baskar and fly north, cross the dunes and land on the
upper platform. At the far north alcove is this dungeon.
Play the dungeon again until Floor:007 (you can see floor numbers when you
have the tracker. if you have that item, but don't see the numbers, then
turn that thing on) :)
If you didn't already do so, bomb the west wall. Exit west to find the
seal.
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Agony Effect
= Magic attack
=============================================================================
This is a very odd boss. You can beat it without any effort, but it doesn't
end there.
From this moment Arioch (x4) can appear in random encounters (always with a
green exclamation mark), and each time you encounter them, they'll be a bit
stronger.
You can meet them in combat 99 times, which makes that you fought them 100
times all together. On your 100th victory this boss counts as defeated, and
you'll get the EX File Key.
Please note a few things
- They'll always come with a green exclamation mark prior to battle.
Sometimes it will be red when the game wanted to count it as an ambush,
however the ambush will not be counted but the battle itself will.
- The Arioch can appear in any dungeon, however they'll only appear once
each dungeon, so if you are hunting these and you encountered them, go to
another dungeon to encounter them again.
Reward: EX-File Key

| Powered Trask
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv58; Clive Lv53; Jet lv51; Gallows lv54
=============================================================================
How to find it:
The seal is located on floor 007 of Ka Dingel
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Big Press
= Melee Attack
- Bio Missile
= 620+ attack one target
- Contaminated Crust
= Spreads poison over the floor dealing damage on the entire party every
turn. Poison wards won't protect you against it.
=============================================================================
This guy is basically resistant against EVERYTHING, and no the heal+cool
trick that you could use on its weaker counterpart won't work here.
In general all you need is a lot of Potion Berries, and you should have
obtained the Lust Jaw, preferably equipped on Gallows.
Now go crazy with the "Dark Luceid" spell, as it appears to be the only
thing that hurts him, and it hurts him bad. Keep this up until it's dead.
The majority of the fight is as easy at that, however, when its HP is
getting low it will cast Contamninated Crust, which fills the entire floor
with poison. When you think your moonstones will get you safe, I have to
disappoint you, no skill will protect you from it, you will lose a big deal
of HP each turn. Very likely you will need to Mystic a few potion berries
if not even mega berries. Having a few mini carrots on Virginia in
preparation for that moment are a good idea.
(Technically you can attack it with physical attacks (if you are high
enough in level you will hurt him), but your damage will be insignificant,
plus its counters are bad, so... better not.
Reward: Golden Dawn - Adds skill that doubles the effect of your VIT bar.

| Heimdal Gazzo
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My levels: Virginia Lv66; Clive Lv59; Jet lv57; Gallows lv59
=============================================================================
How to find it:
On floor 12 in Dissection Facility.
You can find it by pushing away a block in floor 11
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Eyeball
= Mellee Attack
- Screaming Mad
= Darkness attack one target
- Phantom Hazard
= Darkness attack entire party
=============================================================================
What is pretty important in this fight is that you are properly prepared,
which means that you have the following:
= ALL the guardians must be in your pocession and fully invoked.
= Your entire party must be immune to Darkness
Levels don't matter, just the two preparations above.
Now in turn #1 have both the Lust Jaw and Love Charm on one character and I
chose Virginia for the job, and cast weakness-darkness on him (well other
weaknesses can do, but I preferred Darkness, and you'll see later why) :)
What the other peeps will do is up to you.
In turn #2 and turn #3 I placed the darkness effect on both Jet and Clive
so that their shooting becomes infused with darkness hitting him with the
new formed weakness.
There are two ways to do this. Either place both Lust Jaw + Hope Shard on
the same person and do it with the attachement spell, or Mystic the Dark
Ring.
In turn #3 have Virginia to cast copy ability, after that she should go
crazy with the "Screaming Mad" spell you just copied.
Jet and Clive should just do normal attacks. Gallows should have the Lust
Jaw now go crazy with Dark Matter and cast Heal in the rare occasion you
need to heal.
Peanuts...
Power tip: Mystic a Lucky Card and use a Gella Card here.... It will pay
off.

How to find him:
He's sealed at Greenlodge. You need to pass through the entire Nidhogg Pass
to get to him, and no there's no shortcut!
=============================================================================
Abilities:
- Ubreakable Spell
= Light attack to all targets (yeah, it looks dark, but it counts as
light).
- Surpressed Curse
= Darkness attack, one target
- Eraser
= Regardless if it's his turn or not John Dee will dispel all supportive
magic as soon as it's cast.
- You had it coming
= Melee Attack, also used for counterattacks.
=============================================================================
Truly amazing how the English translator never came to the idea that "John
Doe" was the name the Japanese intended here
This boss is a nightmare though and you either need very high levels, or
Light Rings to stand a chance against him. The latter is (too bad) next to
impossible, so high levels will have to do (and I hate saying that).
You can seal yourself pretty well against his Darkness spell, but it's his
light spell that gets you.
I did have everybody shielded with a Dark Ring, which reduces half the pain
of this fight. Virginia was carrying the Light Guardian so that makes our
live a little easier, eh?
Of course I had Clive equipped with a Prism Crown, so two people shielded.
Now things are getting easier and you can now heal a lot easier through his
spell.
High levels are a must if you are not shielded against light as he's
prettys strong, and your powerup spells won't work as they are dispelled on
the spot, immediately.

| a ramp. You cannot move blocks over this ramp, so don't try it. And I got |
| to tell. There's no short way to do this. |
| |
| I'll divide this in rounds, and I'll announce a new round every time you |
| gotta walk the ramp. |
| |
| Round 1: |
| = Move the red one onto the platform below. |
| = Drop off south (and leave the red, for now) |
| = Pull the blue to the east. |
| = Drop off east |
| = Move the yellow onto the next platform |
| = Stand on the yellow and drop off west |
| = Pull the green two spots west |
| = Drop off and walk the ramp, to end up at the top of the puzzle again |
| |
| Round 2: |
| = Push the blue onto the next platform |
| = Stand on the blue and drop off south |
| = Stand on the yellow and drop off south |
| = Push the green onto the next platform |
| = Stand on the green, and drop off south |
| = Pull the green south |
| = Go up the ramp for round #3 |
| |
| Round 3: |
| = Stand on the blue and drop off south |
| = Stand on the yellow and drop off in one of the two directions |
| = Move the yellow onto the next platform |
| = Stand on the yellow and drop off west |
| = And up we go |
| |
| Round 4 |
| = Stand on the blue and drop off |
| = Move the blue onto the next platform |
| = Stand on the blue and drop off |
| = Move the blue over the yellow onto the next platform |
| = Stand on the blue and drop off |
| = Another go over the ramp |
| |
| Round 5: |
| = Move the red onto the next platform |
| = Stand on the red and drop off |
| = Move the red onto the next platform |
| = Stand on the red and drop off |
| = Move the red onto the next platform (Over yellow and blue) |
| = Stand on the red and drop off west |
| = Pull the red west |
| = Ramp time |
| |
| Round 6: |
| = Make your way dropping off the platforms until you are standing east of |
| the red |
| = Push the red against the pile and FINALLY the first blocks are cleared. |
| = Pull the blue west and go up the ramp |
| |
| Round 7: |
| = Make your way dropping off the platforms until you are standing east of |
| the blue |
| = Push the blue against the pile |
| = Pull the yellow to the west and go up the ramp for the last time |
| |
| Round 8: |
| = Push the yellow against the pile |
| = Now push the eastern green north |
| = Move the eastern green to the western green to FINALLY clear the puzzle |

=============================================================================
Ability Symbols
=============================================================================
All abilities you or your enemies can use have a symbol.
This is a system the WA crew started up since Wild Arms 3 and has been in
place ever since.
Now the symbols are not the same in all games, as some are really specific
to a game (as WA3 is the only episode using "Arcana"), but a lot are in the
same kind.
Let's have an overview for the symbols as they appy in Wild Arms 3
- Blue Diamond
= Physical Attack.
= This mostly counts as a "normal" attack, however they can have some
extra effects (status changes for example).
- Purple Circle
= Arcana
- Red Crystal
= All non-arcana magic, and other things that do not fall in any of the
other categories
= Reloading your ARM is also set under this category (likely by lack of
something better) :)
- Green Triangle
= Force ability
- Gold Triangle
= Personal Skill
= Critical hits are also noted as such even though you don't need a skill
to gain the possibility to make a critical hit.
There may not be that much good in knowing all that, but some people have
been wondering it, and thus I decided to put it in this FAQ ;)
BCK00000002
=============================================================================
Status Changes
=============================================================================
Wild Arms 3 has pretty much status changes you can get.
They can be categorized in serveral categories.
Let's name them all
POWER UP/DOWN:
- Stat Up/Down:
All statistics can be altered with these powerups or downs. They only
last a few turns, unless the spell is sealed with "Permanence", then they
last for the rest of the game.
GOOD STATUS:
There are a few good status changes you can fix upon your playable
characters. The enemy can remove them by means of dispelling.
These statusses only last 2, 3 or 4 turns, unless you cast "Permanence"
then they last forever.
Let's sum them up.
- Status Lock
= You cannot be hit by any bad status change and instant death won't
affect you either.
- Valliant
= The higher the difference between your HP and Max HP, the more damage
your physical attacks will do
= This status cannot co-exist with a ATK up/down or element attachment
- Reflect
= Returns all enemy magic to the caster
- Elemental attachment
= All physical attacks contain the element of your choosing.
= There are spells you can use for this, if you have an elemental ring
and you use it with "Mystic" you also get this effect.
= This status cannot co-exist with a ATK up/down or Valliant
UNLINGERING BAD STATUS:
These status changes will wear off after battle. When you have a skill
protecting against these statusses you won't get them.
While you are in battle on horses, you can get none of these status
changes, though you still will get +0.1% experience if you have protection
against them. (main reason why I recommend to ride horses whenever you
can).
Exception maybe is death due to 0 HP, I could never check if you are
protected against instant kill attacks though.
All of these can be cured with the "Clearance" spell.
- Paralysis
= Cure: Pixie Dust
Unable to move
- Sleep
= Cure: Unknown
= Protection: Alarm Clock
Unable to move
- Confusion
= Cure: Pinwheel
= Protection: Clear Chime
You can't tell the difference between friend or foe. You may end up
hurting your friends and healing your foes.
- Bronze
Within 5 turns you'll turn into a bronze statue removing you from the
game until the battle is over.
When the entire party is turned to bronze statues or is dead, the battle
is lost.
- Glass
You are turned into a glass statue for two turns.
Your FP will be reduced to 0, you are invulnerable to magic attacks,
physical attacks will kill you instantly.
- Death
= Cure: Revive Fruit / Full Revive
= Protection: Holy Grail
You'll automatically gain this status when your HP is 0 regardless of
protection, when the status is caused to you by spells or so you'll die
instantly
LINGERING BAD STATUS:
These status changes will remain intact after battle. When you have
protection against "Lingering status changes" you won't be affected by
these (with the exception of "Max HP Down".
- Poison
= Cure: Antidote
= Protection: Moonstone
Lose HP each turn
- Disease
= Cure: Medicine
= Protection: Hazel Sprig
Any form of healing will be ineffective and the VIT bar won't work.
- Amnesia
= Cure: Toy Hammer
= Protection: Memoires pPen
You won't gain experience points after battle
- Misary
= Cure: Peppy Acorn
= Protection: Soul Leaf
All force abilities and arcana are unusable and you cannot score more
than 1 FP at a time.
- HP Down
= Cure: Nectar / Resting at an inn.
= Protection: None (not either protect against all... or that will work
here)
Your max HP has been reduced (and will show in red in the menu bar).
You'll gain this status when you leave combat while you were dead or when
hit by certain spells with this effect.
REALLY TERRIBLE STATUS:
These are status changes of a special kind. They cannot be cured at all.
- Explosive
= On the next turn the character has, he'll explode and die and deal
damage to the rest of the party depending on how much HP he/she had at
the time.
= Only the boss Zephyr can cause this on you.
= You cannot cure this status, but when you cast "Reflect" on people the
spell causing this one will bounce back having no effect.
- Weakened
= This status will set a weakness of a specific element on you, ignoring
all kinds of protection you have against it.
= Only the boss Raftina can set this status on you.
= You cannot cure this status, but when you cast "Reflect" on people the
spell causing this one will bounce back having no effect on you, but
making Raftina weak to all elements. Cool!
- VIT Broken
= VIT is set to 0 and you cannot gain VIT by resting or VIT crystals
= This status will only fall onto Virginia during a short section of the
game. There is no cure to this, the status will disappear automatically
after you completed a certain part of the scenario.

=============================================================================
Come Back
=============================================================================
There are countless dungeons that contain stuff you cannot handle right
away.
In some dungeons you'll have to come back for that stuff anyway (and will
thus not be noted in this section), but a lot of that stuff is completely
optional, and those things are noted here.
I'll note all dungeons where you'll have to come back later if you want all
stuff.
I few things I recommend to have before you go for this.
- All party members should have ALL tools. They can all carry up to three
tools, so that makes you got 12 tools in total
- Make sure your party is complete. (Read all four members present). There
are a few sections in which this is not the case, so that's why I note it
so heavily.
- Make sure you got the tracker (which is available in one of the Millenium
Puzzles). Having the number of the room on your screen. I'm not going to
tell you how to get in the room you have to be, I'll only note the room
number.
Then one more thing, I hope you got a good memory of where all the dungeons
are, if not you can look them all up in the handy map you can buy from
Roykman. Treasure that map!
Having Lombardia at the time is very handy so you can fly to most spots ;)
- Doomed to obsurity (Room: 002)
= GALLOWS: Use the Steady Doll to open the chest to obtain a Migrant Seal
- Fallen Sanctuary (Room: 011)
= VIRGINIA: Use the change crest to transform the VIT crystals into
blocks
= CLIVE: Use the Might Gloves to put one of them onto the plate
= Now you can exit west to claim your prizes: Mini Carrot, Migrant Seal,
Ambrosia (duplicator)
- The Unclean Mark (room: 011)
= CLIVE: Place the heavy block onto the switch by means of your might
gloves.
= Exit South to claim your prizes (Elder Record, Grab Bag, Name Tag,
Duplicator)
- Sand Canal (Room: 013)
= JET: Jump onto the switch to open the south-East door
= Hit that door to claim your prizes: Grab Bag, Nine Lives (Duplicator)
- World's Footprint (Room: 005)
= VIRGINIA: Destroy the orange block with the change crest
= Push the other block away
= Open the duplicator door to claim your prizes: Big Grab Bag, Migrant
Seal

=============================================================================
Black Market
=============================================================================
The Black Market is a suplier of many goods you cannot buy elsewere, but at
many requirements.
There are very little things you can buy there at the start, but the stock
can grow as things happen.
When you breed a specific herb to maximum in the secret Garden it becomes
for sale in the Black Market.
Any item that gives you a skill that wards you against ONE status change or
ONE element, will be added to the Black Market stock when you sell one to
any vendor, innkeeper or ARMS meister or whoever else accepts things you
want to sell.
How to find this black market?
- Enter Little Twister
- Enter the building east of the saloon
- = Turn the wheel completely to open the back door
= Exit North
- = All the way west (you'll also find the ARMS meister here)
= When you're there south
= Now go stand west of the city wall and go North and keep hugging the
wall
= Enter the hut to the east
- Downstairs and use the Black Pass from the Caging Tower (CH300000013) to
open the door.
The stock here:
Default stock:
- EX File Key - 9999999 Gella
- Warp Star - 1000 Gella
- Dragon Fossil - 200 Gella
Of course, once you managed to by the EX file key it will disappear from
the stock forever.
Items for sale through breeding at the secret garden:
- Heal Berry - 1000 Gella
- Potion Berry - 2000 Gella
- Mega Berry
- Mini Carrot
- Full Carrot
- Tiny Flower
- Revive Fruit - 1500 Gella
- Holy Root
Stuff that gets added to the stock if you sell one of them first:
- Nemo Pen - 25,000 Gella
- Clear Chime - 150,000 Gella
- Moonstone - 50,000 Gella
- Blue Bracer - 150,000 Gella
- Soul Feather - 50,000 Gella
- Holy Ankh - Should appear but didn't in my game when writing this FAQ.
- Hazel Sprig - 25,000 Gella
- Heart Leaf - 100,000 Gella
- Alarm Clock - 100,000 Gella
- Holy Grail - 500,000 Gella
- Dark Ring - 100,000 Gella
- Light Ring - 100,000 Gella
- Fire Ring - 100,000 Gella
- Wind Ring - 100,000 Gella
- Water Ring - 100,000 Gella
- Earth Ring - 100,000 Gella
- Ice Ring - 100,000 Gella
- Thunder Ring - 100,000 Gella
You think the Black Market is useless as you have to find the stuff first?
Fool!
I would agree on that when it comes to the Secret Garden breeding stuff,
but the other stuff is very useful. They are very rare items, and hard to
get as they drop only on rare occasions.
By means of the Black Market you can expand those items more easily as you
are most likely only to find one Dark Ring in the game, unless you are
extremely lucky. Selling one to the Black Market allowing you to buy more
of those will pay off as that's the quickest way to get everybody shielded
against Darkness (and you're gonna need it).
Another hint.... Beat Heimdal Gazzo (Sealed boss) as soon as you can. It
will drop a gold pass and all prices in the Black Market (and from Roykman)
will decrease significantly.

Power Tips
=============================================================================
These are tips from a guy who played this game far too much from start till
finish, so if you don't agree with my tips, reconsider as these are tips
formed for over 50+ complete playthroughs if not more, so I did make a lot
of mistakes in my day which I all covered up over time :)
I don't guarantee these tips will get you through, and there are a few
bosses on which they might not work (see the boss tactics of the specific
bosses to see which ones I'm talking about), but most of them will make the
game significantly easier.
- Have the correct Guardian Setup
For the Guardian Setup I always use:
= VIRGINIA: Terra Roar + Flash Hit + Love Charm
= CLIVE: Fiery Rage + Lucky Hand + Cosmic Cog
= JET: Moon Spark + Brave Seal + Hope Shard
= GALLOWS: Aqua Wisp + Gale Claw + Lust Jaw
I choose this setup to have a) most elemental attacking spells at the
hand of Gallows who is the strongest magician and a few others on
Virginia who is second best when it comes to magic.
Gallows MUST have the Aqua Wisp, and there's NO EXCUSE AT ALL to have it
on somebody else for ANY reason. Gallows can act as a healer, and from
his hands the healing spells are the strongest and that can save you a
lot of healing items.
I tried to write my FAQ in that way that other setups are possible
(unless I explicitly state some setups in my Boss Tactics), but this one
is what I experienced as "best".
- NEVER use items when you don't need to.
Seems pretty obvious but some people appear to put more value in items
than in spells, which is very unwise. Items only cost money (which you
need bad, 1 gella difference can be significant when you're dealing with
the Black Market), not only that, restocking items all the time is a
waste of valuable time. Your Arcana spells are setup to cover most of
your needs in healing and status curing, so when they suffice, items are
just a waste. Of course you should have some around as there are always
emergency situations in which spells won't suffice, but leave it for
those situations.
- Go for the Secret Garden.
Plant some berries there and other stuff and you'll most likely live
longer. You do need to do the Decaying Labyrinth sidequest for that,
which can be hard, especially at low level, but the ability to plant
berries by far outweights the difficulty of that sidequest.
- Why do high damage when low damage is enough?
Don't you just hate them? People who play World Of Warcraft who kick
people out of dungeon groups because they were unsatisfied about their
DPS while their playing tactics were far better than just doing high DPS?
Of course this is not an MMO, but still it goes that high damage does not
give you more chances to win per definition. Always analyze the situation
and take the best action at the time. High damage can be constly on
turns, MTC and sometimes even items, and waste all that when a shot with
half the damage is good enough at the time.
Only go for high damage if that's the only key to victory.
- Don't equip skill items too eagerly
This is very important as once placed you can only remove an item by
destroying it and that sucks big deal (many fans hate that about this
game, really, as do I).
Especially elemental rings and items with status change protection are
delicate as they are the most important ones when you're going to
challenge the optional bosses, or when you plan to boost levels through
challenging Creeping Chaos enemies.
If you find one, keep it in your inventory first, or (odd as it may
sound) sell them, this will make those items appear in the Black Market
(it does not matter who you sell it to, as long as you sell it at least
once, it will be in the Black Market) and you can buy the stuff. It does
cost money, but going for those items "on the fly" by hoping enemies and
bosses drop it, costs most likely more time than a regular human life
cycle, so be careful here.
- Only use Lucky Cards in combination with Mystic and only when you meet a
boss with a lot of EXP
Lucky Cards are too good to go to waste and therefore always use them
with Mystic so you only need one card per fight.
When you want to make sure the enemy you're fighting is worth going for I
can only say, only bother when it's a boss, and cast "Analyze" during the
battle to see how much EXP you'll get to make sure your Card will really
pay off.
- Once you obtain Lombardia, only rest in either Boot Hill, Baskar or
Humphrey's Peak
Yeah, I'm a scrooge, but hey, "free" is my favorite price.
No need to pay money for it. By the way the prices of the paid inns are
dependent on the levels of your entire party together, so the higher your
levels the more you pay.
- Don't waste time on grinding
Some people can spend hours to grind levels. A total waste of time, in
most RPG games in general and in Wild Arms 3 in particular, as the EXP
random encouters give is pathetically low.
If you really want high levels, look up for the "big boys" and try to
make a good use of your personal skills there, that's the way how to
score levels... grinding will get you nowhere.
- Little ammo policy is not that wise
I know a lot of people who say boosting up bullets in ARMS upgrading is a
waste because of "Finest Arts".
It's not a complete invalid point, but there are only 4 bosses needing
that skill (3 of them are optional and one of them can easily be done
without it), so you are putting a disadvantage on yourself in order to
score in only 3% of the game. That ain't gonna work and besides, having
bullets in your gun while working up to 100 FP to perform Finest arts is
mostly a good idea (only Ragu Ragla version 2 that may not work.... nah,
you need to work up the FP anyway so why bother for that particular fight
as it won't make a diffrence).
It's pointless to make yourself suffer for such a small part of the game,
and besides little bullets are in those fight giving you neither an
advantage nor disadvantage... You only suffer in other fights, and that's
a pretty masochistic way of playing which will accomplish nothing at all.
- Go for Creeping Chaos and don't go too fast through that sidequest if you
want EXP
If you really want to reach level 100, you should unleash the Creeping
Chaos enemies which you do by destroying 5 telepath towers.
I also recommend you to challenge them while on horses so that half their
Arc-en-Ciel spell doesn't work. To make this fully work make sure
everybody is shielded against Amnesia.
They are the easiest enemies to get a x9.9 rating against.
Please note once you defeated the Mothership they'll disappear from the
world forever so you really want to leave that for when you reached the
level you wanted to reach.
- Trapped chests after battle. Open with care.
= When the trap is said to cause a status change, always let the one open
it who's protected against it.
= When there's no protection, always let the one with the highest luck
level open it, you can check this, when you select a character by
keeping the menu button (triangle by default) pressed.
= When you don't open chests, all loot (which includes recovery of stolen
items) will be lost, so you should always take the risk unless you
really can't afford it (and such situations are rare).
To let you know what traps can do
= Booby trap = Chest can explode either destroying the loot or cutting
your HP to half (rounded up, so you'll never get below 1 HP this way).
= Poison/Amnesia/Disease Trap = Chest can release a gas giving you the
status change. If protected the gas will have no effect
= Enery Drain Trap = If the trap triggers the one who opened the chest
will lose one level of experience (you'll only find these in the
Abyss).
One thing you should note, in the deeper levels of the Abyss you can find
chests targetting all party members, but the game doesn't warn you for
that. Outside the Abyss such chests are very extremely rare.

=============================================================================
Enemies:
=============================================================================
Here's a list of the enemies I found, and where you can find them.
Please note, I'll only list enemies here you can find through random
encounters, so bosses, scripted battles, arena opponents and stuff are NOT
noted in this list. Random enemies only!
If needed I may provide a description, if none given, just shoot and blam!
Enemies on the world map will labelled with "World Map" and the city
located in that section of the world map. If there's no city nearby, I'll
name the closest dungeon, and if even that isn't there, a short description
of things.
Enemies labelled with "Dunes" can only be encountered in the dunes and thus
you need the Sandcraft to encounter them. Along with dunes I might describe
where in the dunes to find them.
Enemies marked as "Air" can only be encountered by air, but they are all
part of scripted events and will only appear during these events, when the
event is completed these enemies will disappear from the game forever.

He is very strong and resistant to all elements, but beating one is
basically an attack-when-you-can-heal-if-you-must principal and
especially when you are overlevelled (which is very easy with the WA3
levelling system).
His "Kirlian Buster", which reduces your max HP (which recovers at an inn
or when you use a Nectar) is very annoying.

These guys are pretty strong, couter easily and mostly they all attack
the same person each turn. Watch out when you encounter them
- Hodac
= Gemstone Cave

My ex-girlfriend always called these guys "Klein Etterbakje" (which means
"little nuisance" in Dutch). Oh well, anyway, they'll always summon a
Water Zone which doubles the damage of all water attacks, but will half
the effect of fire and lightning spells. They are also very eager to
cause "Amnesia" on you.
- Masa Gnome

When you meet any of these during the prologue session of Gallows, build
up at least 12 FP by shooting or taking damage and then kill them with
"Refridgerate".
After the prologue session, Clive and Jet can kill it easily and when you
get back in this place in higher level even Virginia will be too strong
for them :)

* T *
- Thunderdrake

here.

water as you might expect.
- Toy Soldier

Weak to lightning

counter all your attacks.

If you are very extremely lucky, you might get yourself a Light Ring from
these.

Guardians
=============================================================================
The guardians are very important. Without them all you can do is attack and
use items.
Your magic spells (otherwise known as "Arcana") and "personal skills" that
set up all your defenses are that what keeps you alive.
Of course you can decide to come up with a challenge as "Finish the game
without using mediums" (Final Fantasy fans appear quite fond of that kind
of useless challenges), even if you do a challenge like that, finding all
mediums is a requirement to complete the game.
There are 12 mediums in total to collect. Equipping them, gives you the
possibility to summon the guardian in battle (which takes 1 MTC and uses up
all your FP), it allows you to use Arcana (4 spells each guardian), and it
gives you a basic set of 3 personal skills.
The first 8 guardians you'll find have a "silver" medium, the last for
guardians are gold mediums and will turn 2 mediums of your choice into
gold, so at the end of the game you got 12 gold mediums.

EX File
=============================================================================
If you have been collecting EX File Keys you really may have been wondering
where to use them, well here...
None of these features are worth the trouble getting these keys for, but
they a nice trophy to take a look at things here.
The EX File can be created after you defeated the final boss, when you load
this file you can access a few extra features depending on how many keys
you collected.
In basic goes that there are 15 keys, but when you got 8 or more you can
take a look at all features (just reload the EX File when you run out of
keys).
The features are:
1: STATUS
= Requires 1 EX File Key
= Just a status screen as you had in-game, I don't see why you
needed a key for THAT!
2: OPENING MOVIES
= Requires 8 EX File Keys
= This feature allows you to view all variants of the opening
movies you normally get when loading save game. (This also
includes one with the Japanese soundtrack).
3: EXIT MOVIES
= Requires 4 EX File Keys
= This feature allows you to see the "Exit Movies" that you
normally get when you quit the game after saving your game.
4: NEW GAME +
= Requires 2 EX File Keys
= This featyre allows you to play the game again in which your
old levels and money is transferred into your new game. If you
found any Sheriff Stars (you can only obtain one per
playthrough) they will transfer to this new game as well.
Items and personal skills and such are not transferred,
neither are your ARMS upgrades.
Now a quick list of all EX File Keys
1: Near Yggdrasil
= Search somewhere near the lake (you do need the Item Scope for
this one)
2: Sunset Peak
= Bump the clock
3: Martina van Basten
= Complete the Martina van Basten sidequest to obtain the key
4: Clive's little girl
= There are 11 Adventure books in the game, find them all and
read them all to Clive's daughter.
= Once you read all books to Clive's daugher, speak to her
normally and she'll give you the key.
5: Uncle Gob
= Explore the entire worldmap to 100%
= After you did this speak to Uncle Gob to get the key
7: Arioch
= Defeat Arioch 100 times to obtain the key
8: Ragu o Ragla
= Defeat both versions of Ragu o Ragla and you'll get this key.
9: Black Box
= Open all treasure chests in the game
= After that beat Black Box in Fortune Gear to obtain this key
10: Gunner's Heaven
= Defeat Bad News
11: Telepath Towers
= Destroy all telepath towers
= Destroy 5 UFOs in the Dunes
= Destroy 20 UFOs in the sky
= Destroy the Mothership in the sky
12: Black Market
= For sale for 9,999,999 gella.
= (If you beat Heimdal Gazzo, the price will drop to 4,999,999
gella)
13: Millenium Puzzles
= Solve all Millenium Puzzles
= Speak to the ticket guy at the Dune Canyon station to get the
key
14: Secret Garden
= Breed all crops to the max and Florina gives you this key
15: Nega Filgaia
= Steal the key from the final form of Nega Filgaia
And that's there's all there's to tell about this one.

Completists Notes
=============================================================================
Some people are called completists, meaning they want to offer everything
the game has to offer.
I am not one of those, but I do know a few things that can help you if you
want to be a completist.
You can call yourself a completist if you try to achieve the next feats:
- Complete all dungeons and sidequests
- Have all characters at level 100 (max level)
- You collect all EX File Keys (15 in total)
- You obtain Migrant Level 20 and score al 4 Booster kits.
- Open all treasure chests.
- Have 999,999,999 Gella (maximum amount).
- Have the entire world map explored
There are some purists who also deem the next deeds to be a requirement,
but these are impossible to check and the game creators didn't really take
them into account for you either.
- Find all treasures hidden in barrels and sort like stuff.
Problem with that is, that you can never check if you fulfilled that
achievement. And these treasures can also appear in disappearing
dungeons, making things even harder here.
- Fight all enemies (and have them analyzed with the Analyze spell)
Problem here is that there's no monster album like in WA2, WA4, WA5 and
WAACF. So you can never tell if you completed that one.
There's no "Monster Island" in WA3 like in WA2, so monsters who are part
of disappearing dungeons disappear with the dungeon once you completed
it.
Let's take this down per feat:
- Dungeons and sidequests.
= Just check out the FAQ if you completed them all. Check out other
people's FAQs to make sure.
- All characters to level 100
= Due to the +0.1% bonus on all skills this one is easy. Hunting for
"Creeping Chaos" (also known as "Hayonkontons" under the true Wild Arms
fans) is the best way to go for that.
- EX File Keys
= There are 15 in total. They unlock things in the EX file you can create
upon clearing the entire game. They have no value in game, but they
mark a true adventurer. Check out my EX file key list for the ones I
found.
- Migrant and ECN to max
= Check out the Migrant Seal and Booster Kit list for this one
- Open all treasure chests
= This one is hell, but you can check things here. The black box in the
temple of Chapapanga tells you how many chests you opened and how much
you need to do to open them all. When you manage to open them all the
chest will become an optional boss.
= Chests located in Disappearing Dungeons only contain key items, such as
tools, so they needed to be opened any way. Random treasure cannot be
found in these.
= You cannot get all chests in one go as some are in spots for which you
don't have the tools available you need. Therefore you should come back
for those once you got all tools. See the "Come Back" section for more
information about that.
= When it comes to chests locked by duplicators. Are are EXACTLY as many
duplicators attainable as there are seals to open with them.
- Max Gella.
= Takes forever, but if you can get your hand on Gella Cards, it might
help a lot.
- Entire World Map explored
= Doing it is easy, but boring. Just fly over the place with Lombardia
and it's explored. On the map this will be colored.
One last note.
Obtaining all guardians is NOT a completist requirement. It's a requirement
to finish the game, so don't mail me about having that one added here, ok?
If you are a completist, here I told you everything I know... Happy
hunting. ;)

How to contact me?
=============================================================================
If you want to contact me I recommend NOT to use my e-mail address. It's
there because GameFAQs and other FAQ sites hosting my FAQ require it, but
as with all e-mail addresses shown to the public on a website. It's
completely full of spam, and I can NEVER guarantee how long it will take to
read your mail, if I ever see it at all. I tend to change that adress on a
regular ocasion in order to bother spammers.
And thus I recommend that you go to my own website at
http://faq.tbbs.nl
and use the contact system the site has in place there. It will ALWAYS send
your mail to an active mail address.
Furthermore there are some mails that I regulary get and to which I "cba"
to respond to them. Here is what I got to say if you got to tell me this:
MAIL: You know nothing of Wild Arms 3
REPLY: Indeed, that's why I wrote a FAQ on it! You also got something
INTELLIGENT to say?
MAIL: Fix your English!
REPLY: If I spoke my own language you probably couldn't read it at all.
MAIL: Not to be rude, but your list doesn't cover even half of what it
should cover
REPLY: Such mails are worthless unless you give me the items I should
add. I'l even credit you for your trouble
MAIL: Hadsdajdkaskldandiwjoiudaojiwoidjowaijdw!
REPLY: Me not understand! I only speak English and Dutch I will accept
German, but I'll reply in English
MAIL: I got the best viagra for sale
REPLY: If I would actually NEED that stuff, I'd go to a pharmacy! Thank
you for your trouble.
MAIL: Your boss strategy doesn't work, dick!
REPLY: Then send me yours, dick!
MAIL: Some bosses you brand hard are easy. Some gamer you are!
REPLY: On paper one's always more careful than in reality! I always
take so-called "noobs" in mind when I write my FAQs.
MAIL: You suck in levelling up!
REPLY: You need to level up? Some gamer you are!There are two things I
hate. Wasting time and cheating!Constant levelling up falls in
both categories in my humble opionion
Okay that's the kind of mail I don't wish to get, and which I already
replied to by now.
I do understand that you don't agree with me on some points, or that I
forgot the cover parts.
I'm human, errors are as much my nature as they are yours.
If you find some errors, mail me in a civil way and I will update my FAQ
(when I got the time) and credit you for your trouble.
That's the way I work. No need to get offensive, is there?
