FAQ Created March 17, 2011
Thanks to being able to tweak the game's RAM and memory I was able to get
access to some of this data without having to play through excessively.
Although I have now completed my second play through and now I am working on
a Round 3 run just to confirm various details.
General FAQ Finished April 23, 2011; Version 0.7
Item Descriptions will be added during the next update.
Updated April 24, 2011; Version 0.8
Item descriptions and translations completed
Update for January 23, 2012: I will not be updating this any further for the
upcoming EU-AUS-PAL release due to... well, the most obvious part is the
rather different change in character names and what not. Also because I don't
have the time to go through the game any further to Seek-scan enemies to find
out what their names are.
Update for February 22, 2012: The same goes for the NTSC-U (North American)
release.

In order to properly view this FAQ, you may have to change your Character
Encoding to Japanese Shift JIS.
What is The Last Story?
The Last Story is a Wii-exclusive, Japan only (for now) JRPG developed by
Studio Mistwalker, written and directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi, the creator of
the Final Fantasy series.
Considering the similarities of the title design and name, as well as the
fact that the game is on a Nintendo system, this is reminiscent of the days
when Sakaguchi first started out and made Final Fantasy for the NES.
The music was composed by Nobuo Uematsu of Final Fantasy fame, but arranged by
Yoshitaka Suzuki.
The song Toberu Mono is sung by Kanon (カノン).
Concept art and Character design was done by Kimihiko Fujisaka.
The Last Story is a tale following the exploits of a young mercenary and his
friends in their climb up the social ladder on Ruli Island, and how they get
caught up in a series of strange events leading to war and other happenings.
Anyway, I decided to work on the English translation wiki for The Last Story
first, before making a FAQ for the game. Now that I've helped fill out a large
percentage of the wiki, I believe I can finally put my attention to making an
actual FAQ.

Here is the playable cast of The Last Story
Elza / エルザ
CV: Mamoru Miyano
The hero of the story, his family was killed during a bandit attack when he was
a child. After this he became a mercenary and travels the world, continuing to
fight. Living day by day fighting in order to make ends meet, he tires of this
and dreams of becoming a knight.
In the middle of his first mission on Ruli Island, Elza encounters a series of
mysterious events...
「これ以上、悲しいのは...もうたくさんだ！」
Fun Fact: Elza has a very poor sense of smell, bordering on non-existent.
Elza can equip almost all of the weapons, as well as the bowguns found in game.
There is one weapon exclusive to him and Quark.
Skills:
Gathering / ギャザリング
Using Gathering allows Elza to draw the attention of enemies in the area to
Elza instead of his party members. Enemies under the effect of Gathering will
be slowed (decreased movement and attack rate). Elza will also regain a small
percentage of the damage he deals while using Gathering.
Learned at: Chapter 1 Event
Cure / キュア
While in Gathering Mode, Elza can revive fallen party members by running up to
them. Revived members receive the POWERED status for a short time period, but
they do lose one of the lives in their stock regardless.
Learned at: Chapter 1 Event
Power Hit / パワーヒット
This will raise Attack power at certain times when attacking.
Learned at: Chapter 11 Event
Command Mode / コマンドモード
This allows time to be stopped in order to issue orders to the rest of the
party. This allows you to select which spells/abilities you want the party
members to use, as well as activation of Tension Artes when the TP Gauge is
full.
Normal spells when cast via Command mode have their casting time reduced to 3
counts instead of the usual 20.
Learned at: Chapter 11 Event
Counter / ガード斬り
This allows Elza to counterattack if he blocks an enemy attack just before it
hits him. The timing needs to be correct in order to do so. Most magical
projectiles can be deflected this way as well.
Learned at: Chapter 23 Event
Slash / スラッシュ
During Combat, Hide behind cover and when the SLASH text on an enemy is
highlighted in Yellow, press the control stick toward them with the attack
button to jump out of cover and attack them for high damage. Enemies with a [?]
above their heads will suffer greater damage when Slash is used.
Learned at: Level 7
Wind / ウインド
Elza will move to the targeted area, and deal Wind damage to enemies around the
area. This can be combined with allied magic circles to create wide-spread
effects depending on the circle's element. It can also be used to disperse the
healing circles of enemies.
When combined with:
Fire elemental (red): Guard Break
Will break the enemy's guard allowing them to be attacked, and lowers their
defences.
Ice elemental (blue): Slip-Fall
Enemies walking/moving through the affected area will slip and fall down
while the circle is in effect.
Forest elemental (green): Silence/Long Silence
Enemies in the area will be affected by the Silence status, preventing them
from casting spells or using certain abilities. This will have a dark bubble
around their heads if affected by it.
Holy elemental (yellow): Deflector
Will create a large round barrier around all party members. This will decrease
overall damage dealt to the party, as well as deflect most enemy projectile
attacks, like magic, arrows, spines etc.
Heal elemental (white): Heal Stream/Recover
This will create a one-use wide spread healing effect, recovering HP and curing
Status ailments (Recover only) on all party members in the area. This can also
be done on Healing Wells in certain battlefields.
Enemy Heal Circle (black): Enemy Heal Break
Certain battles will have enemy healers who create black colored circles where
it heals enemy units. Breaking the circle will prevent them from recovering HP.
Learned at: Level 11
Gathering Burst / ギャザリングバースト
When Elza takes damage during Gathering Mode, the text Burst Up and Burst Max
will appear when he has taken sufficient damage. This energy can be released
by deactivating Gathering, and it will deal damage to all enemies that have
been gathered, and will inflict either Gravity (slow) status or Stop on them.
Learned at: Level 16
Dunk Slash / 垂直斬り
This allows Elza to run up walls, and then slash downward in the targeted area.
It has a shockwave area effect and can damage multiple enemies. It is also used
on certain bosses that cannot be damaged through regular physical attacks.
It has the same effect as Wind on Magic Circles.
Learned at: Level 20
Tension Arte: Accelerate / アクセラレート
Raises Elza's movement and attack speed. This effect can be spread to party
members by using Wind.
Learned at: Level 35

Ruli Island. She lost her parents at a very young age. Her uncle (father's

Castle. Even though she has only partially resigned herself to this
environment, she dreams of leaving the castle some day to travel all over the
world.
「あの日に、「世界中を旅して見たい」って言ったの、覚えている？」

and is like an older brother to Elza.

'mood-maker' in the group of mercenaries. She's an excitable, heavy drinker
with a foul mouth, but on the other hand she's a girl who shows that she thinks
about her comrades. She is the raid captain who enjoys fighting, not concerning
herself with danger, and bears the full brunt of battle.
「よっしゃあ！あたしに見とれて遅れるなよぉ！！」
Fun Fact: Seiren is likely to be bi-curious considering how she interacts with
the other two female characters.

Basics and Terms [Kihon]
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
While in Battle:
Attacking - There are two attack options:
Auto-attack, in which you simply direct your character toward an enemy and
they will automatically begin attacking them.
Manual input, where A becomes the Attack button, allowing for Chaining hits,
combos, etc.
Note that the max damage that can be dealt is 99999. Someday, you too may be
able to deal this much damage!
Cannon - In some battlefields, there are Cannon shells that are sitting on
the ground. These have various effects depending on the colored band on the
side of the shell. Pick up a Cannon Shell, and then hold the Throw Button
to pick a place nearby to lob it. If there's an obstacle (like a wall) in the
way, it will stop there. However Elza and friends can throw these pretty far.
White - Cure Shell, recovers HP and cures Status Ailments.
Orange - Explosive Shell, will explode and deal damage.
Green - Kura-Kura Shell, acts like a Landmine. When stepped on, it will release
Dizzy Gas and daze allies and enemies alike in its blast radius.
Chaining - When Elza and the other party members attack consecutively in a
correctly timed manner, the amount of damage dealt to the target enemy will
increase as the Chain count increases. This can be done with Magic as well.
Command Mode - Pressing Up on the D-pad activates Command Mode (earned during a
Chapter Event) which allows Elza to issue Commands to the AI controlled party
members. The Skill Gauge must be full in order to do so.
This is the only way to activate Tension Artes once they become available.
Command Mode also cuts down the Casting Time for Spells to 3 counts for most
normal spells.
Dodging - Elza will duck and roll when the Dodge button is hit. He can dodge
while moving, hiding and Guarding. Those of you who have played games where
normal 'walking' is slower than rolling will make use of this to move Elza and
friends around. Note that Elza can only do this in areas where he can fight.
Environment Objects - There are two objects of note in some of the dungeons
that will help you succeed. Healing Wells and Torches.
Healing Wells act as permanent White Magic Circles, and will refill your HP as
well as recover any status ailment. Their effects can be spread using Wind or
Dunk Slash.
Torches act in two ways: First off when they are knocked over, whatever they
roll into will be damaged by the initial explosion. Afterward, they act the
same as Fire magic circles, imbuing your weapons with flames and can be spread
with Wind or Dunk Slash to create Guard Break effects. Torches can be knocked
over by either using the Attack button, the Action button (Y) or by being shot
with the bowgun.
Experience - Unlike some RPGs where EXP is immediately added when you drop a
monster, The Last Story will tally up all the EXP you earn at the end of the
fight, and adjust it if character levels are not balanced. However in some
cases, you may have pummeled numerous monsters to death, but have been cut off
by a cut-scene of some sort. Don't worry as the EXP you have amassed will be
tacked on later in your next fight(s), so you will not get short changed.
Guarding - Pressing the Guard button will raise your weapon to block incoming
attacks. After a certain event in game, melee characters will learn the ability
to use Counter. Pressing Guard at the right time will allow them to
counter-attack, as well as deflect some magical projectiles.
While Guarding, moving towards obstacles/party members will allow you to
perform a somersault/flipping motion to jump over them. This is important if
the AI party members gather around an area and you want to move around or
past them. Elza cannot move straight through them, so do this to avoid getting
stuck.
Health - The amount of HP a character has. Once this runs out, the character
will be downed until Elza uses Cure on them, or in Elza's case he will
automatically revive himself. If Elza cannot get to a party member, they will
eventually revive on their own.
As your HP decreases in battle, the screen will slowly get darker and darker.
Hide - Pressing the Hide button will have your character hide behind cover,
such as walls, fallen objects, rocks etc. During Hide, you can command them to
Dive out of cover, Turn towards the next hiding place, Jump over certain low
obstacles or go into Seek mode and attack with the bowgun (Elza only).
Doing this while firing Burst arrows will prevent the recoil that occurs when
firing them.
While Hiding, Elza can use Slash (once he learns it).
Item drops/Treasure Chests - Enemies when defeated will drop loot. What they
drop varies from Items, Gold, Arrows, Weapons and Armor. These are represented
by: little satchels/bags, coins, a bunch of arrows, swords, upper armor and
pants. Most run of the mill enemies will drop some fairly generic items that
can be found over and over again, but stronger enemies tend to drop the better
stuff. The item found will be determined randomly by the drop table, which
comes up as a slot machine like randomizer when you approach the item. However
certain monsters will always drop the same Rare Item, like some bosses. Some
treasure chests will also always contain a pre-determined item every play
through. Some replayable bosses, such as those in the Arena will drop one kind
of rare weapon, but there is a very small chance to get an even rarer weapon.
In replayable dungeons, shiny golden chests will appear and contain randomly
generated rewards.
Life - The number of lives a character has before they are permanently
downed in battle. This usually starts at 5 during a chapter. Certain NPC
characters will have less than 5 lives and you are required to protect them.
Lives can only be regained through Manamia's Tension Arte, Revive.
You will regain lives at the start of each battle in a Chapter.
Magic - Some of Elza's teammates can cast Magic which will damage enemies, or
heal them if it's an element they absorb. Spells will leave a Magic Circle on
the battlefield, which can be used to add Elemental Damage to physical attacks
which is necessary to damage certain bosses, or to exploit the weaknesses
certain enemies. Magic circles can also imbue certain special effects depending
on their color.
All Spells have a Countdown. If this countdown is interrupted (i.e. the caster
gets attacked), the spell will be lost and the caster will have to start over
again. Similarly you can interrupt enemies this way as well.
See Elza's Wind command for details.
The elements and their opposites (weaknesses) are:
Ice <-> Fire
Forest <-> Star
Light <-> Darkness
Certain monsters, if hit by their matching element, will recover HP. Some other
monsters will only resist damage of their matching elements.
Enemy Mage units can cast Magic circles as well, with Black Healing circles,
large wide range Red Damage circles, Poison Circles as well as the other
elemental circles.
There are some spells which are used to for non-damage effects, such as
Reverse.
Seek Mode - Elza can use his bowgun in this mode to attack enemies with
various projectiles. It is also used to find the Weaknesses of the various
monsters that you fight, this is denoted by the Elemental symbol that appears
in the Monster Info box, that is the monster's element. Another use of Seek
mode is to find certain objects that the party can Interact with and destroy
with Magic. Note that sometimes in game during certain scenes, Seek mode will
be automatically activated and Elza must search for something in the area
around him. Also some items are located in places too far away for Elza to pick
up normally, shooting at them with the bowgun using normal Arrows will let you
pick them up.
Seek Mode can also be used in town to look for things, or look at people in
order to interact with some of them.
Skill Gauge - This gauge is essentially your MP gauge. It will fill slowly
as you run around on the battlefield, and lets you use skills like Wind or
magic when playing as the other characters. Using a spell-like skill will
consume one section of this gauge. This also lets Elza use Command mode once
completely filled. Certain pieces of equipment will increase the rate that the
Skill gauge is filled.
Tension Arte - Each playable character has their own unique Tension Arte.
These vary from dealing heavy damage, inflicting status ailments, increasing
speed, raising a barrier, healing damage and restoring Life.
TP Gauge - This meter fills whenever a character deals damage or takes
damage throughout a battle. This meter is only available once a character has
learned their Tension Arte Ability. Some pieces of equipment will increase the
rate this fills, and some other pieces have special effects if the Gauge is
full.
Status Ailments - Various ailments can be inflicted upon the party, and
inflicted back on some enemies, depending on the weapons the party has.
Party only:
Poison: Lose HP over time. Cure with a White Magic Circle/Cannon.
Manipulated: Only affects allies, where they will be attack the party instead.
Can be cured either by defeating the affected character, or with White Magic.
Only certain bosses and enemies can use this.
Enemy only:
Sleep: Affected enemy will fall asleep, rendered unable to move or attack.
This can only be inflicted with Sleep Arrows, an event item.
Charm: Affected enemy will fight for the party. They cannot be attacked
while under this status. Only few weapons can inflict this status.
The only other occurrence of this ailment is during one very specific side
quest.
Gravity: Enemies affected by this have slower movement and attack rate.
Stop: Enemies affected by this are unable to move for a certain amount of time,
or until they are attacked.
Both:
Beto-Beto (Sticky): Movement and Attack speed decreased. Will go away over
time or with White Magic.
Stone: Person inflicted with this will slowly turn into a statue and be unable
to move or attack. Make it to a White Magic circle to cure it before becoming a
statue. If not, shake the control stick back and forth to break free. Denoted
by the character changing to a pale graying color.
Paralyze: Temporarily unable to move, shake the control stick back and forth
to break free.
Kura-kura (Dizzy): Temporarily dazed, unable to attack or move, shake the
control stick back and forth to regain your senses.
Silence: Unable to cast spells and use certain abilities. Will eventually wear
off over time or can be cured.
Death Sentence: A timer of 30 will appear over the afflicted character.
As this counts down to 0, that person will be downed, regardless of current
health. As the count nears zero, the screen will start to lose color and go
to a more black and white color scheme. This can be cured using White Magic.
Some enemies are unaffected by this ailment, like Bosses.
Slip-Fall: Affected characters will not be able to walk around without
falling onto the ground until the effect wears off.
Status Boosts - Various effects can be given to buff up the party, as well as
some enemy specific buffs.
Accelerate - Affected members have increased movement speed and attack rate.
Nitro - Enemies with this are much stronger.
Powered - Revived party members have improved attack power.
Barrier - Affected party members can repel certain projectile and magic
attacks. Damage suffered while under the barrier is greatly decreased.
Deflector - Affected party members can repel certain projectile and magic
attacks.

Menu Translation [Menu]
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
The in game Menu for The Last Story, thankfully is in English, however there
are still some aspects of it in Japanese making it somewhat of a pain to deal
with. Moving on.
Equip - This is where you outfit your characters with the gear that you've
bought, found, picked up etc.
Weapon:
Most characters, with the exception of Elza and Seiren will equip only one
weapon. Elza can equip Bowguns, and Seiren can equip a second sword/weapon.
Protector:
Here you can equip your characters with Armor and Legs. Unless you have the
Costume armor items, such as Kanan's One-Piece, Kanan's Dress and the Knight's
Armor, these will take both slots. When you unequip the dual slot armor, the
Leg slot will be automatically equipped with a piece of gear that optimizes
that character's stats.
Auto-Equip:
This will equip the character depending on their type (Fighter/Mage/Healer) in
order to optimize their stats.
Color - Here is where you can customize the colors of your characters, remove
certain accessories from armor and other fun stuff.
You can edit the colors of the following parts:
Body
Body Sub
Body Armor
Body Accessory
Pants
Boots
Leg Armor
Leg Accessory
Effects - These are unlocked via online play.
Transparency - Two Key Items are needed to access this option, where you can
make it so the characters are running around in their underwear. You can set
transparency to Upper Body, Lower Body, Both, or None.
Add/Remove Parts - This allows you to customize the parts that are in each
armor set. At levels, 1, 4 and 7, armor will gain extra parts that you can
remove on the character avatar.
Color Sets:
Load - Load a pre-saved set
Save - Save a custom color set
Map - Here is the Map of Ruli Island and other related areas that the party
will explore throughout the game.
This menu effectively acts as a quick warp function which can allow you to
jump quickly from one place to another if you're in a hurry.
Blue framed areas are places in town that you can visit.
Orange framed areas are dungeons that you can replay. You will unlock more
dungeons over time.
Grey framed areas are placed you cannot access at the moment, or ever again.
Depending on what is going on in the story, your access to other places will
be limited. This will include some dungeons which are NOT replayable.
Here are a list of places that you will eventually travel to throughout the
game:

Kind of.
Controller 1: This section allows you to change the Gathering button with the
Seek Mode button, and the Command Mode button with the Action/Hide button
Controller 2: THIS ONE IS IMPORTANT!
Here is what makes this game more fun and not lame. You can set the Attack
Mode to either Normal or Manual. Normal is when you move the character towards
an enemy and they will auto-attack. Manual is when you have to push A to
attack.
This will also change your Dive Type, setting the button to Dodge in battle.
Controller 3: This allows you to change your camera and Seek mode controls.
Camera:
You can change the speed, if the camera will sway while you're onboard a boat,
and if the camera's X and Y axis' are inverted.
Seek:
Here you can change the speed, and if you want the X and Y axis' to be
inverted.
Settings: This sets other random fun stuff.
Battle - Battle options
Pointer - This will determine the 'line' that appears to connect monsters to
Elza when Elza is using Gathering.

Walkthrough [Story]
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Warning: This guide is FILLED with spoilers and what not.
First off, turn on your Wii and boot up The Last Story. Now follow the
on-screen cues to get to a selection screen and choose New Game.
You will notice as you progress through the story, that the Title Screen image
will change from time to time, depending on how far along you are.
Controls listed in the FAQ will be assuming you are using the Classic
Controller. However Tutorials that the game plays out, should you choose to
watch them will illustrate how to perform actions using the Wii-Mote and
Nunchuk.
This is important now. You can choose to either play with Auto-attack mode,
where all that is required to attack is to walk toward an enemy and your
character will attack, or Manual mode where you will Attack by pressing A, and
Dodge by pressing Y.
You will also notice that in battle, there are lines that appear to be </pre><pre id="faqspan-2">
attached to the heads of your characters. These lines indicate which character
is the target of which enemy in the area. There can be numerous lines on one
character, meaning they are being targeted by a group of monsters.
Typically if Elza needs to make a choice, the left choice more or less serves
as 'Yes' and the right choice is typically 'No'. Sometimes there are exceptions
to this.
Most people, doors and entrances that Elza can interact with throughout the
game will have a blinking circle mark on them, indicating that there is some
importance attached to them. This will be important in order to find quest
specific NPCs in town.
There also will be a notification on screen, for when to use Seek mode in
certain areas and that will appear in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Chapter 1 - Lizard's Cave [CH01]
The game starts out throwing you (the Player) right into the action. In the
Lizard's Cave, you hear the child-like giggling of the inhabitants of the cave;
the lizard folk. Seiren and Quark are chasing after them and control goes to
Quark, with a tutorial explaining how to rotate and center the camera.
Before moving on, turn around (away from Seiren) and go down the passage to
find a wall which Quark can kick open to find a Treasure Chest containing a
Rare Item: Dragon Fang.
Continue down the tunnel and the game explains how to use Hide (Y) to use
cover to hide from the enemy and avoid projectile damage.
Defeat this group of enemies and the next area gives a tutorial on Guarding
(R/ZR), and gives you more enemies to test this on. (Not that you really need
to)
After fighting off a number of the lizards in this large cavern, game play
will be turned over to Elza and Yuris. Move forward and the game explains the
Seek function (ZL). Target one of the pillars (the central one) and choose the
Left option to have Yuris destroy it with magic. This will collapse the rest
of the pillars and kill all the lizard men in the area.
Continue forward to arrive at the area where Quark and Seiren were fighting.
You'll know you're close when the screen display shows Quark and Seiren's
portraits as you approach. From here, Elza can choose to have Yuris attack the
bridge to eliminate the archers on top (right choice) or Elza can shoot them
down himself. Once all the lizards have been eliminated, a short scene occurs,
with a Lizard Blade (the big lizard) breaking through the wall with more
lizards following him.
Mini-Boss: Lizard Blade
Level: 6
Element: Ice
Weakness: Fire
This is the first of the large enemies that the party will run into. He attacks
with his sword, jumping up and slamming the area around him and rushing party
members with his shield. It is best to deal damage to him from the side/back
and while there are fire magic circles around his general area. The shield he
carries isn't just for looks, as it will block damage.
After killing the Lizard Blade, he drops Wizard Killer x10.
A cut-scene plays out with a flash-back of the party at a Tavern, which
explains why they went to Ruli Island in the first place. They were hired by
Earl Arganan to 'exterminate monsters' on the island, or so Quark was informed.
He thinks that this is rather strange as the island itself has its fair share
of heavy artillery, including a magical cannon battery.
In the next area, Quark tells Elza to go around the right so the party will
put the enemy in a pincer attack. Do so and it makes the battle go very
quickly. Once the enemy has been wiped out, examine the triangular rock/switch
in the center of the platform. Elza will fiddle with it to make platforms fall
down from the ceiling, leading to the next area.
Travel through the long passage way, check the wall at the dead end and Elza
will kick it open. Head on in.
The party finds themselves in some ruins. Littered with skeletal bodies. Move
towards the large door to have Quark and Yuris go off to scout ahead. Elza and
Seiren stay around the area to rest. Move towards the door where Seiren is
standing in front of to have the undead come back to life. Keep the skeletons
at bay until the doorway opens, then run away from them. Follow Seiren down
the hall and into the next room. Seiren will hold off the skeletons, and she
tells Elza to search for a way out. Check the large stone structure and a door
in the wall to the left.
This will lead to a cut-scene with Seiren getting shot by a magical arrow.
At this point, Elza gains the Gathering ability (L to turn on/off).
It is used to draw attention away from Elza's allies, and towards him. It also
slows any enemies that have been gathered, and lets Elza regain Health when he
attacks them.
He also gains the Cure ability, which lets him revive Downed characters and
Power them while in Gathering mode. Use this to bring Seiren back on her feet.
Quark and Yuris come back into the fray. Take out the remaining skeletons and
enter the door that opens on the left. The skeletons need to be dropped at
least twice in order to defeat them as they are able to revive themselves
(with only partial health).
Go through the path inside, and the party will find themselves outside in
front of a narrow bridge. As they cross it, they get ambushed by another group
of skeletons. Have Yuris take out the outcroppings where the archers are
standing. The other undead will go down and revive, so knock them off the
bridge to kill them (this will however not earn XP for the party). Once the
archers are gone, two skeleton mages show up on the other outcroppings, so
shoot them with the bowgun to prevent them from casting spells, so Yuris can
defeat them with magic. This is also a good time to use those Wizard Killer
arrows that you picked up earlier.
As the party approaches the door, you will notice a red circle with symbols on
it painted on the ground. This is a Summon Circle. It will summon enemies for
the party to fight against (and earn Gold, EXP and items). Effectively this is
the main way to grind EXP in this game.
Press L to use Gathering and summon enemies to fight them. This can be done
over and over again, however the EXP gain from this will decrease as the party
levels up.
Open the door and head up the stairs and open the next door. Inside the ruins
is the first boss.
Boss: Cocoon
Level: 7
Element: Star
Weakness: Headshots
This thing is huge. But what the hell is it? Who knows? However it looks
dangerous. The party realizes that they're in deep trouble.
Yuris will immediately point out that there's no way for them to win, as Elza
tackles him in order to avoid the sword of light that Cocoon threw at Yuris.
Use Seek mode to find its weak point, the creature's face/head. Have Yuris use
magic on it while Elza draws its attention away from the spell caster with
Gathering.
Once Yuris gets a shot in, a number of skeletons rush into the room, helping
the boss.
If Cocoon has its sights on a character, it will throw swords at them, and
these swords will in turn call a lightning strike wherever they land. Try to
draw Cocoon's attention away from the other party members, as this attack can
drop them in an instant.
Cocoon will also attack with its limbs, knocking over characters and dealing
heavy damage. There are White cannon shells that Elza can pick up and throw to
heal the others.
At some point during the battle, Quark will tell Elza to lure Cocoon outside.
Use Gathering to draw its attention, then follow the arrow to get out of the
room, and towards the bridge outside.
It is possible to destroy Cocoon, but considering its ridiculous HP count and
the party's current strength, the EXP reward is not worth it at this point in
the game. However if you choose to return to the Lizard's Cave later on,
Cocoon can potentially drop the Rare Weapon: Hosoi Mikazuki.
During a New Game Plus however, it is possible to simply just beat on the boss
until it dies, instead of luring it outside. By doing so however, the party
skips a scene where they drop the boss down the chasm.
As Elza runs out on the bridge, the others follow after Cocoon, and Yuris
shoots a fireball underneath the boss' feet and shatters the bridge, dropping
Cocoon down the chasm. You won't get anything out of doing this except for the
fact you managed to stay alive during this one-sided battle.
The party admires their cunning, but the fact that they destroyed the bridge
leaves you to wonder how Quark, Seiren and Yuris managed to get across to
leave the area...
Chapter 2 - Road to Ruli City [CH02]
Follow the party up the path. Part way through there, people are calling for
help. Head towards the source of the trouble and straight into another boss
fight.
Boss: Forest Beast
Level: 8
Element: Forest
Weakness: Star
Elza, Seiren and Quark will hold off the tiger while Yuris goes to save the
kids in the area. A tutorial on Chaining attacks comes up, explaining that
party members need to attack consecutively to Chain their attacks, as well as
being able to Chain magic with physical attacks.
The beast only has two attacks, a claw swipe and a charging strike. Elza can
either dodge or block these, but he will take quite a bit of damage this early
on in the game. Continue to attack the beast until its health has been drained
and it will run off.
In New Game Plus it is also possible to drain all its health before Yuris even
saves the second child, making things kind of weird.
The beast will leave and the party has another scene with some of the locals,
who at first wrongly identify them as knights. When Quark says that they're
actually mercenaries, the locals' attitude change and they then proceed in
expressing their dislike of mercenaries, throwing money at the party's feet
and leaving.
A cut-scene of Elza and his friends' past struggles plays out, showing just
how much mercenaries are hated.
Head up the path and toward Ruli City. Another long cut-scene plays out with
the Main Theme music as they enter the gate to the castle town.
Chapter 3 - Ariel's Tavern: Day [CH03]
The party will automatically enter Ariel's Tavern. This place will serve as
the party's base of operations while they're on Ruli Island.
They will join back up with Jackal and Manamia in the Tavern.
Use Seek to examine the large tapestry on the wall to the right for a
conversation with the owner of Ariel's Tavern. He will explain to Elza that
the tapestry shows how many different people from around the world have come
to the tavern and left their mark on his wall.
Speak to the rest of the party members while in the tavern. Conversing with
them may give you a choice of what to say. These have no effect on the game,
but will lead to a different set of dialogue between Elza and his friends.
Yuris will go to his room after you talk to him, saying that he's tired and
needs to rest.
Talk to Quark for a scene of him cleaning his sword, and a flashback of when
Quark first met Elza. Quark will get up and stand next the entrance afterward.
Seiren will be completely wasted and Jackal is busy flirting with Ariel (and he
fails miserably).
Manamia will ask how Elza is faring and if he was injured during their latest
excursion.
Speaking the Ariel gives some information about the going-ons in the city, and
Elza can comment on what he thinks about Ruli City so far. This won't affect
the game but it will give different opinions from Ariel during the
conversation.
Elza can go upstairs to the second floor. If he passes by Ariel's room, he can
hear Wack coughing inside. You can go inside to speak with the boy if you'd
like.
After you've spoken to everyone, Quark tells Elza maybe he should go check how
things are outside in town.
Talk to Quark again, he'll tell Elza to go buy new equipment for the party's
next job. Say 'Understood' (left choice) to get 2000 G from him. If you say no,
he simply just berates you for being childish and you can talk to him again to
get the money. He conveniently forgets that you told him 'No way' just moments
before.
Inside the room next to Quark is the Traveling Merchant Girl. Speak with her to
purchase new weaponry for the party.
Exit the tavern to move on to the next chapter.
Chapter 4 - Ruli City [CH04]
By going outside, Elza (and you) is treated to a view of Ruli City.
Now you can freely wander around Ruli City, go shopping, do side-quests and
find items hidden around town. Some of the areas that Elza goes into will play
a small scene showing its name and a scrolling shot of the area.
The following places that will do this are:
Central Plaza
Fountain Plaza
Castle Gate Plaza
South Gate Plaza
Marche (A Street market)
Craftsmen's Alley
Arganan Bridge
Side-quests that are now available are:
Please note that the side-quests do not actually have names associated with
them in game, but rather will come up sometimes as a sub-event or an NPC that
Elza can talk to. Some of these NPCs will be vocal and call out to Elza, others
will be talking to themselves in the sub-title text when you approach them,
indicating there might be something for you to do.

After wandering around for a while, Quark will catch up with Elza, so in Seek
mode, turn around to look at him. He tells Elza that there is a military
parade happening later. Elza can either: Immediately go with Quark to see, or
Catch up with him later, if he still wants to wander the town. However when
Elza approaches the area that connects Central Plaza with Castle Gate Plaza,
the scene will start.
Around town, you will notice merchants standing next to flags. These guys will
sell Elza various Product goods at fluctuating prices, as well as buy any
pumpkins that Elza may have on him later in the game.
When Elza heads near the Arena, standing at the entrance are Seiren and Jackal,
speak to them for a scene where Elza has an embarrassing misunderstanding with
Seiren.
Elza can now access to Season 1 of the Arena. If you intend to fight in the
Arena, speak to the group of four people standing near the entrance and they
will mention what they are willing to bet on the new challengers (Elza and
friends) winning. During your first round in the Arena, Elza will be joined by
Seiren and Jackal. Afterwards if you choose to return to the Arena and fight
again, Elza can pick three other members to join him.
Once Elza nears the area between Central Plaza and Castle Gate Plaza, a cut-
scene showing the military parade occurs. Afterward, Quark says he's heading
back to the Tavern. Elza can either go with him, or wander around some more.
For some reason Quark looked really angry when he saw the knights walk by...
After some time, time will change to evening (this is shown fairly obviously)
and Elza says that it's getting late and he should head back to the Tavern.
But before that Elza can run into Manamia standing in the Central Plaza for a
scene with her. She'll talk about something philosophical (which kind of goes
over Elza's head).
Head towards to Tavern to go to the next series of events.
Night falls on Ruli City and there seems to be a festival happening in the
city. Elza speaks with Seiren and Jackal. Jackal makes an off-color comment
and Seiren boots him off the balcony of the second floor of the tavern and
onto a table below.
Go to a conversation with Seiren getting drunk. Turns out they've ran out of
alcohol, so Seiren tells Elza to go fetch more for her. Even Ariel asks him to
before Seiren says that she'll start to cry.
Ariel tells him that around the Castle Gate plaza, the liquor store is around
there, so head out.
While Elza is doing this, there is a minor side task that Elza can do.
Head to the bridge near the Marche. There is a little boy standing there
watching the fireworks. Go into Seek mode and focus on him for Fireworks x10.
Head towards the liquor store (it's marked by a Yellow dot on the map that
isn't a building). The man is standing in the alley where the parade was being
held earlier. He is on the right side if Elza is coming from Ariel's Tavern.
Talk to the owner and he'll hand over Key Item: Tasty Sake. From here, head
back to the Tavern.
As Elza heads back to the Tavern, a young boy will say that he heard voices
coming from the horse drawn wagon. Really now? Maybe you weren't just hearing
things either.
Once Elza tries to go back to the Central Plaza he hears a sneeze. Must be
imagining things... or are we?
If Elza chooses to ignore it and head back to the bar, he'll hand over the
Tasty Sake. Seiren seems drunker now than when we first left her... and then
she finishes all the booze you just brought back. Go and fetch more if you
want to keep it in your inventory (it doesn't really do anything else).
This time Elza should go check out the cart in Seek mode. He'll find someone
hiding underneath, until he's interrupted by some soldiers asking if Elza has
seen a girl his age wandering around. He lies to them and tells her to come
out from under the wagon once they leave.
The girl introduces herself as Al. She spots more soldiers wandering around,
so lead her away from them towards the Marche. One of the stores there will
have a dot that is a brighter yellow than the others.
Head there for a quick scene. Al will wander around the Marche, so follow
after her for yet another scene. After wandering around the Marche for a bit
longer, another scene between Elza and Al occurs.
She runs off after hearing some commotion south of Marche. Follow the arrow
after her to the Fountain Plaza.
It looks like some of the local soldiers are causing trouble for one of the
merchants and are extorting him. Al steps in to put in her two cents. Elza
starts to have a hilarious panic attack in the background.
As one of the soldiers tries to pull his sword on Al, Elza runs in to introduce
the soldier to his fist. This raises a commotion as the rest of the street
patrol is alerted and they begin to chase the pair around the city.
Run away from guards and lose them. If either Elza or Al run out of HP, it's
Game Over.
The best way to lose the guards is to run around corners, knock down fruit
baskets and head for a wide-alley way where the guards can't find you. Once
the two are out of line of sight, the guards will eventually give up.
The game continues on with another scene between the two of them. As they make
their way through city, Elza will spot more soldiers hanging around the path
back to the Tavern. Head back to the Tavern without being spotted by the
guards. Return to the Tavern to start Chapter 5.
Chapter 5 - Ariel's Tavern: Night [CH05]
Returning to the Tavern, Elza gets teased by Seiren and Jackal, who are
surprised to see him bringing a girl back to the Tavern with him. Jackal
congratulates Elza for being a 'good student'.
After the scene, talk with Al and she'll go join Seiren in the baths. Elza can
go to Seiren and Manamia's room to 'check' things out. Go inside and use Seek
on the door. Elza will put two and two together to figure out what's behind
here.
Examine the door and either 1) Calmly do nothing or 2) Calm down.
Option one will lead to Elza getting yelled at and attacked.
Option two... well, he hears something 'interesting', heh heh heh.
Leave the room and go around to talk to the others. Ariel will be in her room.
Yuris will be in the guys' room. Head downstairs to talk to Quark. He tells
Elza to speak with Manamia and Jackal.
Elza finds out that Kensu and Ariel are taking care of a young boy named Wack.
Both Jackal and Manamia stayed behind during Chapter 1 to search for medicine
for him. They found it... however the merchant who had it was killed and it
was stolen by Robbers. Elza asks about Wack, so Manamia tells him he's
upstairs. Head to Ariel's room and talk to them.
Wack has a strange sickness that is currently wracking his body, preventing
him from leaving his bed or going outside. Elza says that he'll definitely get
better. Leave and Manamia and Jackal tell Elza that they've found the medicine.
There's a slight problem however. It's hidden somewhere in the Robber's
Hideout in the city. Elza is told they need to break in and find it. Jackal
asks if Elza's ready to go. Choose 'Yes let's go' and head to Chapter 6.
Chapter 6 - Robber's Hideout [CH06]
Elza sneaks into the hideout through a window near the rafters and he's above
the sleeping guard. Let Elza make his way across the rafters and he'll jump
down. The closest chest to the left contains a Lizard Edge. Take out the guard
quietly and the others will make their way in and search the area. Failure to
knock him out in one go will cause two more robbers to show up and make your
life difficult.
Now that the goons are gone, Elza lets the rest of the party in. Quark, Jackal
and Manamia join you. Now being to search the chests in the area to find the
medicine. Manamia will open one of the chests for you.
The chest Manamia opens isn't the medicine. There's another one near the save
point. That isn't it either. Go through the narrow opening for the last chest.
So where the hell is it? All is lost until...
Jackal hits a switch on the wall with his back and it opens a hidden door.
Before heading down, Quark tells Elza to look at the flag hanging on the wall.
It's Zola's emblem, one of Elza and Quark's former companions turned bad. Head
down stairs the see a scene between the robbers and their boss, Zola. The
party will quickly split up to pull a pincer attack on Zola and his goons.
On Quark's count, bust into the room and take them out. Once all six have been
taken down, there's a short scene between Zola and the party as he drops them
down a trap door and into the sewer. Elza will fall in with Manamia. After
swimming out of the water, the two get attacked by a group of lizards. After
defeating them, use Seek and look up to spot a doorway. Have Elza climb the
wall and move on. Head down the passage and to the right. The two will reach a
dead end until some lizards break through the wall to attack them. Elza and
Manamia talk about Zola and how he betrayed them for money. Head through the
hole and open the chest. Take a right and the two will be reunited with Quark
and Jackal.
A Lizard Blade stands in the party's way. Quark tells Elza to use Slash to
take him down. Shoot the lizard with the bowgun to get his attention (if you
don't shoot him, Quark will do it for you). A '?' will pop up over his head.
Once the Lizard moves in while Elza his hiding, wait for him to turn his back
on Elza and then use Slash when the command for it appears. This should take
him out in one hit.
As the party goes into the hole, the climb up the ladder and another scene
occurs. Before going through the door, take a left for some treasure.
In the next room, a group of eight lizards await the party. Take them down to
continue to the next room.
There is an Ogre chained to the wall here. Elza can directly attack it, or
hide behind something and shoot it death with his bowgun (this might take a
while though). Directly attacking the Ogre will call a group of lizards to the
fight however. If you fight it directly, you can have Jackal destroy the wall
supports behind the Ogre to crush him.
Continue onward to find a hallway with two chests (one is hidden behind a
pillar) and a save point. Inside the chest, you may find the Hosoi Mikazuki
sword. Open the door to find Zola and the boss of the area.
Boss: Ghoul
Level: 11
Element: Darkness
Weakness: Light
This enemy's main attacks are charging in the room and falling forward with
his front legs. Ghoul's front is also heavily armored, so direct attacks will
prove to be ineffective.
Using Gathering during this battle is not a good idea, as the boss will
proceed in stomping Elza into mush.
Quark tells you how to defeat this boss (Elza even gets in position before the
fight starts!):
* Climb the stairs on either side,
* Hide along the rail
* Slash when Ghoul is nearby.
When the attack connects, he'll ricochet around the room like a pinball (be
sure to guard while he does this) and then crash into the end of the room
where he came from.
Another tutorial on Chain attacks comes up and then Elza and Quark can quickly
cut him to bits.
Turn on Gathering if Elza needs to recover health while attacking the Ghoul.
Elemental Damage will help during the fight, so use Jackal's ice magic circles
to your advantage, as he will sent them towards Ghoul.
Should the need for healing arise, fall back and hang around Manamia.
Repeat until Ghoul is dead. Also make sure to take out the archers hanging
around the high ground if they start to shoot the magic users, interrupting
their spells.
Taking out Ghoul will earn the party a Killer Cutter +2.
Climb up the ladder and chase after Zola for the next cut-scene, where Elza
and Quark catch up to deliver sweet justice. Rather they don't get to dish out
justice as Manamia bashes Zola's head in with a frying pan. Jackal finds the
medicine nearby and the party return to the Tavern to give the medicine to
Wack. Really there's something kind of wrong with this... they just stole
something that was stolen... oh well.
In Ariel's pub, exit Ariel's room and then talk to Seiren (who will tease Elza
as usual) and Al, where she asks Elza to go to the Stargazing Tower before she
heads back home. Choose 'Yes' (left choice) to proceed to Chapter 7
Choosing 'No' (right choice) will have Al get mad and stick her tongue out at
Elza.
Chapter 7 - Stargazing Tower [CH07]
Watch the cut-scene between Al and Elza.
Once you get control, aim at the flame on the left, and then move directly
right to reach a single star, then she'll tell Elza to look up to find the
pair of stars.
The cut-scene continues with Toberu Mono playing in the background.
After the scene plays, Elza can speak with Al. He can either approach her from
the Front (left) or from Behind (right). Choosing from Behind makes Elza have
an awkward moment the first time (and makes him look really sketchy). Do it
again and Al will accidentally trip him (or maybe it's purpose...) and cause
him to fall OFF the tower and into the water, and some text will say he
climbed back up safely.
Elza will speak with Al about their dreams, then he returns to the Tavern
alone.
Back at Ariel's Tavern, Elza has a few words with Jackal, then he heads
upstairs. Attempting to leave the Tavern will have Ariel stop Elza and tell
him that Quark wants to have a word with him (meaning you can't go out anymore
tonight). Elza can find the rest of the party hanging around in their rooms in
the Tavern. When ready enter the men's room on the left upstairs.
Talk to Quark and choose the left option to go to bed for the night.
In the morning, there will be an event that occurs once Elza leaves his room.
Quark tells the group that they're acting as security during the ball at the
castle. What fun.
Speak with the rest of the party to glean some information about the ball and
Ruli Castle. If you're not ready yet, Elza can go wander around the city and
goof around.
The Side-quests that are available now are:
Blue Bird
Search for the Lost Kitten
Miina from Marche
Behind The East River Gate
The Starving Kid
Events leading to the Stolen Permission Passage can be initiated in the area
NE of the Arena.
Once you're ready to advance to Chapter 8, talk to Quark back in the Tavern
and choose the left option. You don't have any time restrictions, so you're
free to wander around.
The party will arrive at Ruli Castle.
Chapter 8 - Ruli Castle: Grand Hall [CH08]
Once the view point goes to First Person, look to the right to spot a knight
in black. After a conversation with the party, Elza is free to go around the
castle. Quark gives him Key Item: Permission Pass in case Elza wants to go in
and out of the castle.
Wander around the Castle to speak with Elza's friends.
Yuris is on the second floor balcony looking into the Grand Hall.
Jackal is on the third floor in front of the Library, flirting with a maid.
Manamia is in the Library on the third floor, on the ground level.
Seiren is hanging around the Courtyard, and as Elza approaches that area, a
knight tells him one of his friends is causing a ruckus. In First Person mode,
focus on Seiren who is arguing with a Knight, Tasha. The two of them are about
to get into a fight until they're interrupted by Master Trista. Seiren backs
off and the two knights move elsewhere in the courtyard, through a long cut-
scene.
Speak with Seiren, and then Elza can speak with Trista later.
Trista will mention he's never been to the castle before and that he's lost
(really?).
From this point the following Side-quests are available:
Gatekeeper Of Ruli Castle (West Gate)
Gatekeeper Of Ruli Castle (East Gate)
Once Elza leaves the courtyard and back into the Castle, Jackal is waiting
there and tells him to go up to the third floor to find Quark and speak with
him. If ready to move on choose the left choice to move on to Chapter 9.
This is the last chance that you have for a while before Elza can explore Ruli
City again, so continue on only if ready.
Chapter 9 - Ruli Castle: Ballroom [CH09]
Elza and Quark will be in the ballroom. Elza yawns out of boredom as Quark
lectures him about how to behave properly around nobility.
From here, Elza can wander around the ballroom. Getting close to the Earl and
Jill will cause a knight to yell at him. So don't.
Quark tells Elza to look toward the throne at the Earl when the Seek icon
shows up.
Quark explains who the two standing there are. The current Earl is the
previous Earl's younger brother, Kanan's Uncle. The man next to the Earl is
the Marquis of Ranbart, Jill; who is also Kanan's fiance. Of course, you're
probably wondering who Kanan is.
When an announcement is made about Kanan, look up towards the Chandelier to
start a cut-scene between Kanan (wait, is that Al!?) and Jill.
Both Quark and Elza realize that Kanan is Al. Quark warns Elza not to get
involved with the nobility. But Elza has other ideas...
Quark will notice something's wrong with Kanan, so go into Seek mode and look
at her to start another cut-scene with her heading to the balcony.
Quark tells Elza to leave her alone and forget about everything that happened
the night before. Of course with Elza being Elza, he won't leave her alone.
So head toward the balcony. A knight will stop him, and Quark will intervene
to distract him. Quark tells Elza to 'stand guard' while the two of them clear
things up with the higher-ups.
Head outside and look for Kanan. It looks like she's clearly upset about
something. Elza speaks with her and confesses that he isn't actually just a
traveling merchant, but a mercenary. She also apologizes that she hid the fact
that she is the princess of the island.
She mentions how things have changed since her father had passed away and her
uncle became the next Earl. She starts crying after a while.
The two of them continue to chat until they're interrupted by Jill (that nosy,
annoying bastard). Turn around to look at him in Seek mode.
Jill comes in to drag Kanan back inside, saying that she's embarrassing him by
not participating in the ball. Elza tells Jill to treat Kanan better.
Jill then misconstrues some details and accuses Elza of doing something to
Kanan and draws his sword, demanding that Elza fight him. Elza asks if they
heard something, as there is the sound of a large commotion. The Gurg Tribe
have suddenly started an assault on Ruli Castle.
Jill runs away like the cowardly SOB he is and Elza has to hold off some Gurg
fighters. Defeat them to continue on.
Elza then learns that Kanan can use similar magic to Manamia due to her
bloodline as she treats his wounds. The two of them continue on to fight off
the invading Gurg troops.
Elza will be joined by two Ruli knights, Kanan, Trista and Tasha. They will
help you take care of any remaining Gurg invaders in the ballroom.
Trista introduces himself to Elza properly this time. Trista and the knights
will go off to find Jill and the Earl, leaving Elza with Kanan. Follow her
upstairs to the Living Area.
In the Living area hallway, there are Gurg Fighters, Archers and a Mage. Once
the enemies have been cleared out, examine the center door in the hallway.
Kanan tells Elza that this is her room and she's going inside to change into
something more combat ready. Cue Elza sputtering and choking in embarrassment.
You will receive Kanan's Dress as a piece of armor for the female characters.
Once she's ready, head out the door opposite her room. The two of them will
reach a bridge, and a tower that has been bombed. Look to the right to examine
the tower in order to continue on (and avoid getting squished). Once the
bridge has collapsed go into the door back to the Castle.
The two of them enter and find the Castle in flames. Once they round the
corner, they find a lone Mage Knight holding off the Gurg troops. Help him out
then head downstairs, Kanan tells Elza that they can get out through the main
door, until their escape is interrupted by the King of the Gurg, Zangurg.
A scene between Elza and Zangurg starts, and Elza gets knocked out in one blow.
Three knights come to the rescue and get taken out as well. Two Gurg twins
show up, reporting that two knights (likely Trista and Tasha) have kept the
Gurg forces at bay, and they can't find the Stranger. The Gurg then take
Kanan with them.
When Elza comes to, he'll hear Quark telling him to wake up and get a grip.
Look up and left at Quark to speak with him and continue the game.
Quark joins Elza and the two of them go off to look for Kanan. Head toward the
Courtyard. The Mage Knight in front of the door can upgrade the party's
equipment. Head outside to find another group of Gurg attacking some knights.
Help them out.
If you want to fight more enemies, talk to the armored knight in the NW corner
of the courtyard and choose the Left option. You can repeat this as many times
as you would like.
Head down to the East door to find Seiren and Jackal (with a healer) holding
off a large force of Gurg. Defeat the troops and Quark will speak to them.
Manamia and Yuris haven't been found yet apparently. The mage keeled over next
to the door will Upgrade any equipment if you talk to him.
Open the door and the party will split up again, as Seiren and Jackal go off
to find Manamia and Yuris, while Elza and Quark chase after Zangurg to rescue
Kanan. Moving on to Chapter 10.
Chapter 10 - Cliff Road [CH10]
Once outside Seek mode comes up, examine the cannon turret to spot Zangurg and
Kanan. A mage outside asks Quark and Elza to help take out a Gurg Beast and
its rider.
Continue along the path to get trapped in a pincer attack by Gurg forces. You
will be joined by another knight somewhere along this point.
Once those enemies have been defeated, run up the cliff path to find another
Gurg Beast and defeat it. More enemies will appear as Elza continues on. This
is the final wave of Gurg as Elza finally catches up with Zangurg. Quark turns
back to hold off the Gurg following after them.
Boss: Zangurg
Level: 13
Element: Fire
Weakness: Ice
This is a fight Elza can't win. Zangurg will Perfect Guard all attacks, arrows
and so on. He will also punch Elza and quick-cast fireball spells, which will
quickly drain your HP.
After the fight becomes more and more hopeless, a cut-scene occurs with Kanan
casting a spell on Elza. The magical barrier around him now allows him to harm
Zangurg, as well as decreases damage and deflects spells that Zangurg uses.
Once Elza has dealt enough damage to Zangurg, the Gurg will withdraw as Ruli
Castle prepares to counter-attack with its Magic Cannon. As the Gurg escape on
their ships and the castle continues to spray the area with cannon fire. Quark
says that the people in the castle don't know that the three of them are on
the cliff, so to avoid being attacked they have to sneak aboard one of the
fleeing Gurg Warships.
On to Chapter 11!
Chapter 11 - Gurg's Warship [CH11]
This scene starts with the three of them successfully sneaking onboard.
Quark says that he injured his eye during the commotion while they escaped, so
he teaches Elza the Command ability.
Press and hold Up on the d-pad when the TP bar is full and Command mode will
come up. This allows you to issue commands to Elza and the rest of the party.
This allows for quicker spell casting and access to Tension Arte abilities
later in the game.
From this point, Elza needs to find a way to get into the other areas of the
boat. Use Seek from his initial position to find a ladder and he'll climb down.
Have Elza make his way over and he'll get on another side of the ship.
Head to the right to open a chest. Head down the stairs on the left to find a
Gurg man standing over a human. Take him out and talk to the man. Open the
door on the left to have Kanan and Quark rejoin the party. Once the man's
wounds have been healed by Kanan, he tells them to save the other people on
board, as well as two others dressed like Elza and Quark were on the ship as
well. Quark assumes that they're probably Manamia and Yuris
Talk to the man again if you need to Upgrade equipment.
Open the door to find a Gurg lookout. Knock him over the head to take him out.
Up the stairs is yet another lookout. Continue through the passage and into
the next room and down the ladder.
In the next hallway, Kanan says no one is there and this should be easy, but
an ogre attacks the party. Once Elza enters the cannon room, there are two
Gurg operating the guns. Draw their attention toward Elza so they can't call
for reinforcements, by taking them out one at a time using the bowgun to bring
them over. They find another guard standing in front of a lift. Take him out
with the bowgun strategy as well. The guard drops Key Item: Lift Key. There is
a chest to the right of him.
Open up the lift to find... no lift. Immediately on the bottom left is a
ladder, so climb down for a short scene between Elza and Kanan. Open the door
to the next area. Quark leaves to check things out.
Carefully make your way through the ship. There is a chest behind a narrow
door on the right that Elza can squeeze past.
On the left, Elza sees a guard and a cell. Inside the cell is Yuris. Take out
the guard to save him. Elza receives Key Item: Rusted Keys. Examine the door
and use the Right option to open it up.
There is another chest in the cell before Yuris'. Use the left option when you
examine it to open the door and get the treasure there.
Yuris asks why Al is here, and Elza says 'Because some various things happened'
Yuris then tells you that Manamia is in the neighboring cell, so save her as
well. Open the door and in the next room, there is a chest hidden behind a wall
of boxes. Elza can slip through them to get at it. Go through the next door and
they'll find the room is flooded.
Yuris tells Elza he doesn't feel like swimming right now, so Elza has to go in
by himself. Manamia is in the back dog-paddling back and forth. Help her out
of the cell by rotating the control stick back and forth. Once out Manamia
says that she got her hands on something, and gives Key Item: Cargo Hold Key
to Elza. She'll also ask why Al is here and Elza will make an excuse.
With the key in hand, open up the door, look up and right immediately, there
is a crate on the second level and it's shaking! Successfully making the Seek
check will have Elza dodge the Spider that emerges and counter-attack it.
Failure to do so will have Elza start the battle with half of his total health.
Prepare for a fight against a group of Battle Spiders.
Spiders automatically guard when attacked at the front so go around and back
slash them. You can attack them directly, but it is fairly ineffective.
Partway into the battle Quark makes a 'dramatic' entrance (he walks in).
Quark gives the party some intelligence he's gathered and rejoins the party
during the fight. Once the spiders have been cleared out, head up the ladder.
Elza will go right into Seek mode when he reaches the top, look over at the
Gurg Marine (with the whip), then draw the attention of the Gurg Elite (purple
armored Gurg) with the bowgun. Then take out the Gurg Marine.
Talk with the man you just saved to receive a Gurg Sand. Then check out the
chest nearby. Opposite of the chest is the door to the next area. Once Elza
steps in, Quark stops him as the area has a few Gurg soldiers hanging around.
Either jump into the fray, or slowly pick them off. Once those three have been
dealt with, Quark frees some prisoners, and then more Gurg emerge. Two of the
men you just freed join in on the impeding melee. The other two hang back and
cheer you on. Somewhat creepily too.
There are three Gurg fighters downstairs, and up top are two archers and a
mage.
Finish off the troops and head toward the lift. Elza and Quark discuss their
next course of action. It's time to get rid of the ship's captain and
commandeer the vessel. Yuris wonders if it'll actually be that easy. Of course
since he said that, it won't be that easy.
Once the party emerges from the lift, there's an Ogre standing on the deck.
Shoot him with the bowgun then use Slash to take him down. He should drop an
Ogre Hammer. There is a chest to the left of where the Ogre was. Head up
towards the ship's wheel to find a Summon Circle to fight some Gurg if you
need to level up the other characters. Otherwise head through the door on the
right near the stairs. Once inside, there's a man there that can Upgrade the
party's gear. The door left of him seems to be stuck however. So take the
other door instead to the ship's cabin. Before going up the stairs, past the
save point on the right alcove is a chest. Head towards the large double doors
on the right to enter the Captain's room.
Quark says this should be the last place to deal with, and Elza kicks open the
door. The party meets the Gurg Captain, 'Captain' (very original). As he talks
to the party, something claws its way onboard the ship. Look to the right when
Elza goes to First person mode to spot a giant turtle, Muruu who now bashes
his way into the ship. As the Captain continues to peak with the party, saying
how badly they're going to suffer and die, until the beast swipes at him,
taking him out. Now you have a giant turtle problem on your hands, so get
ready.
Boss: Muruu
Level: 16
Element: Ice
Weakness: Fire
So it's a giant turtle. Therefore it has a shell. Therefore the shell is hard.
If it's hard it must mean it has high physical defence. Which it does. Normal
attacks won't break through easily, as Muruu will automatically guard physical
attacks. Magic will deal damage, but not enough to take him down fast.
The boss tries to stomp and swipe at the party. He'll also try to body slam
and land on someone to deal huge damage.
The best way to deal with Muruu is to Command Kanan and have her cast her
Shining magic, then use Elza's Wind on it to create Deflector Barriers for all
the party members, this will protect them from the needles Muruu shoots. Once
Deflector is up, when Muruu curls back into his shell and shoots paralysis
needles, Elza can guard and prevent damage/paralysis from the needles. Muruu
will then become dizzy, indicating it's the party's turn to fight back. Knock
Muruu onto his back, then press A to jump up and 'Ride' him. From there, Elza
can plunge his sword down through Muruu's neck and deal massive damage (tap A
repeatedly).
Repeat this process until Muruu's life has been depleted, and then finish him
off in the same manner in order to end the battle.
The party receives a Para Axe +2 for their trouble.
Since the Captain is gone, and so are the rest of the Gurg, the party has
successfully taken over the ship and it's now theirs. Go on to Chapter 12.
Chapter 12 - Mercenary's Warship [CH12]
Now that they've taken over the ship, the party wonders how they're going back
to Ruli Island. However Quark has different ideas. Perhaps it's time to strike
back at the Gurg is what he suggests. Yuris wonders if that's a good idea.
Kanan asks if she can tag along with the party, and the others agree to this,
as long as Elza takes care of her.
Now that the ship is under human control, Elza can go around and do some
shopping and what not while onboard.
Immediately to Elza's left is an man who runs the Identify Shop, he's leaning
against the wall. Note, that when Identifying items, once you've identified it
once in game, it will remain identified, even throughout New Game Plus. Not
that you have anything to lose from doing this. The Identifying fee is cheap
too, so it doesn't matter. Really.
Through the door right of the stairs, a man is trying to force open the door
that is stuck, he tells you that he'll get it eventually so leave him alone
for now.
The door to the area before the Captain's Room has two men running an Upgrade
Shop and a Weapon Shop.
In the Captain's room there are two chests on either side: A Sylph's Bowstring
and something random. And somehow the hole Muruu made has been patched up
PERFECTLY (just like new, how do they do it?). There is a Summon Circle that
will let the party fight against Undead if they need to level up more.
Up the stairs to the ship's wheel is a man sitting next to a yellow flag, he
runs the Color Shop. On the highest level, Elza can find Manamia, Yuris and
Quark. The man in the right corner runs a Trade Shop. Speak with your friends.
Yuris asks about who Al is. Elza kind of weasels his way out of an explanation.
Manamia assumes that Elza has 'that' kind of relationship with Al. She even
offers to counsel him about it (awkward). Quark says that it's a good thing if
Elza gets along with Kanan, it will lead to something 'good' in their future,
as he laughs it off, saying he's joking. He does say however they should hide
her identity from the others for now.
On the other side of the ship, Elza can go through either door. There is a
chest inside on the left with a Sylph's Bowstring. Enter the center door to
find Kanan standing outside on the bow of the ship.
Elza will speak with Kanan. Once the cut-scene finishes, Kanan says she wants
to stay here a little longer, so Elza can head back by himself.
Afterward, head back up to the top deck where Quark and the others are. The
narration begins again, and the party learns that the ship is taking water (I
wonder whose fault that is?). Quark tells Elza to look for an island for them
to land on to make repairs. Look to Elza's right to find the Vono Islands, to
move on to Chapter 13.
Chapter 13 - The Vono Islands [CH13]
The party makes a stop on Vono Islands to perform repairs on the ship. Once
control returns to Elza, you'll notice that Manamia and Yuris have left the
top deck and only Quark remains. Talk to him. He says that the two of them
want to explore the island, because something on it interests them. So Elza
needs to go talk to them and see what they want.
From here it doesn't matter who Elza speaks to first, as both chapters need to
be finished in order to advance the story.
So pick either Yuris, who is near the Upgrade and Weapons Shop, or Manamia who
is in the room on the Bow side of the ship (the side with the doors on either
side).
Both chapters will give more background information about their pasts.
Speak with Yuris and he says he wants to take a walk on the island. He says
Elza should mind his own business and not bother him. After some probing Elza
finds out that Yuris wants to check out a nearby Shipwreck, and Elza asks him
why. Yuris says it's still none of his business, so Elza has a choice: 'Fine,
do what you want' or 'I'll help too'. Pick the second to move on to Chapter 14.
If you picked the first option, speak with Yuris again, and he says that he
can't do it alone, so he'll give up on it. Pick the second option to help him
and move on. Elza says he'll tag along if he can't stop Yuris from going.
Speak with Manamia, she's standing in front of a collection of mysterious
plants. It seems that she is researching them. She mentions that the island
that she came from had numerous flowers like this growing everywhere when she
was growing up. Manamia says that she wants to find out why the forests of the
islands she's traveled to have died, much like the one she came from. Elza can
say: 'But it's dangerous' or 'Well, let's go check it out'. Go ahead and check
out the island with her to go to Chapter 15. Saying 'No' gives a similar
response like the one Yuris had.
Chapter 14 - Shipwreck [CH14]
Elza and Yuris make their way to a cave and they find a shipwreck. It looks
like it's been there for a while.
They enter the ship, and it goes to Elza's first person view. Look down to the
right to see the ship has taken water. Yuris will then jump in and go to the
next area, with Elza following after him, telling the younger man to wait up.
Once in the first area, follow Yuris to the doorway. Examining the door leads
to Elza almost getting hid in the face with a sandbag trap (What the hell kind
of trap is that!?). Move on to the next room. The footing here is very
unsteady, and something comes out from the water. Two giant crabs come out to
attack Elza and Yuris. Both crabs can cause Poison, so be careful as you don't </pre><pre id="faqspan-3">
have Manamia or Kanan with you to heal. Once you've depleted the crabs' HP
(they fall on their backs) you need to Ride them to finish them off.
Elza says it's a good thing he went with Yuris and they continue on. Before
following after Yuris, head back and towards the right of the entrance Elza
came from to find a chest there. Then head to the left corner over a floating
crate for another chest. Follow after Yuris and open the door to a dusty
hallway. A brief scene occurs, as Yuris succumbs to poison from the crabs.
Elza realizes that somewhere on the ship should be some kind of Antidote, he
leaves Yuris in the hallway and goes looking for it. Climb up the ladder to
the next area.
Elza can explore this area to find the Antidote for Yuris. But first, head
upstairs on the right and go down the hallway to find a chest. Leave and go
downstairs to the large room for another two chests. Return to the room with
the ladder and you'll see a chest to the left of it, this was where the
Antidote was all along. Take this back to Yuris. Speak with Yuris and he says
that he owes Elza and has to pay him back. Elza says that he doesn't because
they're friends.
With Yuris back on his feet, head up the ladder again to continue exploring
the ship. Something or someone is spying on the two of them through a curtain.
Elza hears some footsteps from above and wonders what's going on. Approach the
curtain for another scene as Yuris shoots a fireball at... Quark? Manamia hops
in right after. The two of them join up with you.
From here, Elza can go either downstairs (left) or upstairs (right). It
doesn't really matter which one if you've already taken the treasure earlier.
Both routes just have different monsters to fight. Manamia will go with Quark
and Yuris stays with Elza.
Downstairs, Yuris will comment it smells awful and another crab attacks them.
Open the doorway to find a group of Undead. Deal with them and head upstairs.
Upstairs, Elza says that the area is narrow and reminds him of when he was
growing up. Inspect the barrels and Elza will ask Yuris to blow them up. Go
into the room to the right (where the wall panels are now missing) and look
at the wall to the right in the room. Elza will kick it open. Immediately
in front of Elza in the next room, kick open the wall again. As you go down
this hallway, you will find a room to the left with a chest inside. Go out
and through the door Yuris is waiting at. Inside is a single crab and some
barrels that Yuris can target. Open the door and go upstairs.
The two of them reunite with Quark and Manamia, who are fighting off a large
group of crabs and undead archers. Use Yuris' magic to take down the archers.
After the fight, Yuris examines the faded nameplate of the boat. He realizes
this is his father's ship. He talks about his past and how his father had
disappeared while fighting pirates in order to protect his home island. Yuris
then talks about how he became an orphan. The party then can climb up a ladder
to the next area. Before doing so, check to the area left of the ship's wheel
next to a fallen pillar for a chest. Climb up the ladder to the next level of
the ship.
Something is spying on the party again here. The party notices a smell behind
the door (except for Elza who can't smell anything). Quark says it smells like
food. Manamia IDENTIFIES the food. Go inside the room. Indeed there is a table
full of food. Manamia wants to eat it, but Quark won't let her, saying it's
probably poisoned. Move past the table and examine the mirror. The wall moves
away from the party, revealing a hidden door, which Yuris dashes into.
Chase after Yuris, but first immediately in the right of the hallway is a
chest. Continue down the hall and into a room with a save point. Save then
enter the next room, Elza finds Yuris standing over a skeleton.
He finds his father's body, dagger and journal.
Reading the Journal, he learns what had happened to his father. This is
interrupted by some banging behind that big red curtain. Examine the curtain
and Elza finds a mirror, and his reflection... doing something odd.
'This isn't me.' Elza says, as the next boss starts to attack the party.
Boss: Doppel Ganger
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Just as it looks, it's a doppelganger. If Elza attacks it with his sword, it
will block, then counter.
Quark immediately notices that magic circles the party casts are able to go
past the mirror.
The doppelganger will shoot sticky goo at the party, so your best bet is to
actually attack it upfront. Once it strikes back at Elza, it will laugh at him,
and that's your chance to strike it while the 'reflection' is no longer
copying Elza. Deal enough damage to it, and the doppelganger gets upset and
breaks through the mirror.
Once out of the mirror, it jumps onto Elza's head and starts clawing at him.
Shake the control stick to get rid of him, because this will drain Elza's
health very quickly.
Unfortunately as you did that, he then copies the rest of the party, Elza
included. You don't know which one of the copies of your friends is the real
one (yet), so take out the fake Elza first. Yuris will point out (after Quark
decks Manamia with his sword) that the fakes have a black and red light on
them, around their eyes.
If you hit one of your friends, they WILL complain/berate/swear at you,
letting Elza know that you're doing it wrong.
As you take out each of the four doppelgangers one by one, they will begin
cycling through party members to confuse you. When one of the people have a ?
mark over their heads, it's likely to be one of your friends and NOT the
doppelganger.
When they pretend to be Manamia and cast Cure, use Yuris' Reverse Spell to
create damage circles and prevent them from healing themselves.
Once taken care of, the Doppel Ganger drops the Fang sword.
Yuris goes back to reading his father's journal, and finds a picture of his
family.
The party receives the Memento Dagger for Yuris, and they leave the ship in
its final resting place.
Back on the ship, Elza can speak to Yuris for some more character development.
The story goes back to Chapter 13 and Elza can go speak to Manamia to go to
Chapter 15, or Chapter 16 if you've already cleared Chapter 15.
Chapter 15 - Mysterious Forest [CH15]
The party heads off to explore the Mysterious Forest on the Vono Islands.
Elza, Manamia, Quark and Yuris head off the expedition through the forest. As
the party enters the gate, once Elza heads in far enough, a cut-scene between
Elza and Manamia starts. Manamia tells him that she was raised by the Divine
Beasts of the forest, and she doesn't know who her real parents were. She says
she's traveling with her friends to find out what's causing the forests of
planet to slowly die.
*****
Warning! You can turn around and go towards where you came (backwards). Jump
down the small cliff to get a chest with a skull in it. HOWEVER... if you
keep going, there are five cave cougars in the area (Level 30-40) who will
probably turn your party into mince meat; they are also accompanied by a pair
of lizard healers (Level ~50). Approach at your own risk! If by some miracle
that you beat them in your first run (doubtful), you will find a chest with
Gnome's Gold Ore and another with a Divine Beast Sword.
Once you're finished here, go back to the starting area and proceed.
*****
Once the scene is over, examine the fountain Elza is standing next to. It will
sink and give you the Blunt Copper Sword. When you're about to leave, Quark
stops you as a number of skeletons have gathered around the area, so defeat
them.
Since the area is very wide and has numerous walls for cover, the best way to
deal with this is use the bowgun to draw attention to single enemies, then
defeat them one at a time.
There is a chest alongside the left wall (from where the party started).
There are three more in one of the walled off areas, that has a narrow passage
into it. One chest has Gnome's Gold Ore x4, the other two are random. The
fountain here gives a Blunt Silver Sword.
Another chest is hidden behind a pillar one the left side.
Another one of the walled off areas has a broken wall, in there are three more
chests. One chest has Gnome's Gold Ore x4, the other two are random. The
fountain here has a rare weapon: Shishioh.
That's it for treasure here, so find the rest of the party. Then in Seek mode
examine the large footprint.
During the cut-scene Manamia says that the footprint belongs to a Divine Beast.
However the gate to the next area is stuck. Examine it in Seek Mode. Yuris
will burn down the vines tangling it. Manamia will run off towards the next
area by herself, leaving the guys alone. Chase after her.
Yuris will comment that Manamia is a lot faster than she looks.
Before crossing the lake on the floating islands/plants head to the right for
a chest. It has a Gurg Sand in it.
The floating whatevers are somewhat shaky as the party run across them. Once
on solid ground again, the guys are attacked by Mystic Plants (tentacles) and
Lizards. Some of the Lizards are camped out on the floating things, so Yuris
will focus on them while Quark and Elza clean up the monsters on the main land.
Try to avoid the Mystic Plants, as they will grab your characters, choke them
and toss them away after being attacked. Use Yuris' magic or the Cannon shells
to quickly defeat them.
Any items that are dropped by the enemies in the distance can be picked up by
shooting them with Elza's bowgun.
Quark will say something's wrong with this forest, as Plants shouldn't be
attacking people.
Go across the floating plants. The fork to the left has a Summon Circle, and
the fork to the right continues to follow the giant footprints. As the group
enters the canyon, more plants and lizards attack them. After clearing out
this group, you'll hear Manamia scream (and see a save point). Follow after
her!
The party arrives to see Manamia backing away from a giant spider.
Boss: Mystic Spider
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
First off, Spider creatures have auto-guard when attacked from the front
unless you have a weapon that can specifically penetrate spider defences.
Which at this point, you probably will not have one in your inventory.
The Mystic Spider will spawn baby spiders to attack the party with, head butt
people, run around, trample things, and shoot webbing. When it shoots webbing
the first time, it will knock down both Elza and Manamia. Shake the control
stick to break free, then as Quark tells you; use Wind on Manamia to free her
from the bindings. If not, the spider will eat her and she'll be removed from
the battle, leaving you without a healer. The spider will do this to the rest
of the party as well, so keep Elza's SP gauge filled so he can use Wind at a
moment's notice. The spider will specifically target Manamia first, then after
it eats her, will go after the others.
The best way to damage the boss is to drop Yuris' fire magic circles around it
and attack it from the side or front. Use Wind on the fire circles to cast
Guard Break on the boss in order to increase damage dealt to it.
Beware as the boss runs around, it can also paralyze your party.
After defeating the Mystic Spider, it drops the Karma sword.
Now that the imminent danger has passed, continue on after your party members
to the next area. They'll reach a dead end, and Elza kicks open the wall.
The party finds the huge skeleton of a Divine Beast, long dead and lying in a
field of flowers. Manamia realizes the forest here has also died as well. That
stupid tiger makes an appearance in the upper cliffs for some reason...
With that mystery cleared up, you return to the ship. Speak with Manamia for
more information.
The story will go back to Chapter 13 if you haven't cleared Chapter 14 yet, or
Chapter 16 if you have.
Chapter 16 - Gurg's Military Base [CH16]
Elza's back on the boat before the chapter officially starts. Go around and
talk to his friends. Manamia will say that the boat is about ready to leave
the island. Elza says that they'll have good stories to tell Seiren and Jackal
when they get back to Ruli Island. Manamia has completely forgotten about them
however. This startles Elza greatly and he wonders about Manamia's mental
health.
Yuris asks if the ship is ready to leave, and Elza tells him yes. Yuris tells
Elza that he's already said his good-byes to his father, and it's fine to
leave the shipwreck there as it is. He has already taken his father's feelings
and accepted them (as well as his father's dagger)
The door that was stuck has been unstuck, so Elza can go inside. Once inside,
Elza finds a number of books and other things stolen from Ruli Island. Examine
the black-blue looking book on the desk. Elza reads it and finds symbols
similar to the pattern on his right hand. A key drops out of the book and
Kanan comes into the room. She recognizes the book as something from Ruli
Castle, written by her ancestors. Apparently the ancient Arganan were talented
magic users who used the powers of 'gods'. They called that power the power of
'The Stranger'. The same power that Elza had received while in the ruins. The
two of them realize that Elza's Gathering power can resonate with Kanan's
bloodline magic as their sources are similar.
Elza receives the Key Item: Liquor Cabinet Key. Open the chest in the room
before heading off.
Go to the Captain's room and Seek there for the hidden room on the left side
of the area. Examine the shelf and Elza finds a hidden room. Inside this room,
use Seek on the map on the wall.
This leads to narration about the location of where the Gurg's Military Base
is located. It appears to be a bit too close to Ruli Island for comfort. Quark
suggests that the party should head toward the island and deal with the Gurg
on their home turf. Speak with the rest of the party, then speak with Quark to
move on when you're ready.
Manamia wonders about Gurg cuisine.
Yuris expresses if the five of them will be okay if they infiltrate the island.
Kanan says that their adventure is something out of a knight's tale picture
book.
Quark says that Elza, Yuris, Kanan and himself will infiltrate the island.
Manamia will remain onboard to in case anything happens.
More narration and a cut-scene as the ship approaches the Military base.
Kanan and Elza are in the crow's nest talking. She asks him why he became a
mercenary. Elza says that he met Quark after his village was destroyed, and
the two of them grew up together. He wants to become a knight. Kanan says that
if he becomes a knight, he'll be stuck in a castle for the rest of his life
and can't see scenery like this anymore. She says she doesn't want to go back
to the castle, but she'll try her best like Elza and his friends.
The scene changes and shows the naval strength of the Gurg. The party begins
their infiltration of the island and they swim in, officially starting Chapter
16.
As they swim in, Kanan comments that the water here is really warm. Yuris says
it's because they're near a volcano. Kanan is impressed by Yuris' knowledge
and he gets embarrassed.
Swim in, and Quark will stop you for a moment. The screen zooms in on a Gurg
guard. Shoot him in the head and he falls into the water, allowing the party
to move on. Head to land and up the stairs.
Yuris and Quark say the place stinks. Elza can't seem to tell though. The
source of the smell? The two stinky ogres in the room.
Start this fight by taking care of the guard first, then defeat the Stinky
Ogres. Head through the large doors to the next area.
The next room shows a number of bridges. The area seems to be a living area,
there are two chests to the right, one is a random item, the other contains a
Skull. Head out the door to the cliff area for another scene. Once Elza goes
to first person mode, a Gargoyle flies over to drop off a squadron of Gurg
forces. The party hides and another fight begins.
There is a difference this time around as the game introduces 'Leader' units.
Defeating the Leader will reduce the strength of the enemy, however the rest
of them will notice and start attacking.
Elza can either order Yuris to blow up the deck above the enemies, or find
another way to deal with them. Either way, killing the leader will alert the
others to the party's presence. Defeat them as normal. One of the Gurg
soldiers might drop a Blood Sword.
Head along the cliff to the next room. In the room to the left is a save point,
and where you want to go.
Heading through here will show a scene with humans being forced to work by the
Gurg. A man trips and falls, and a Gurg Elite is about kill him for being
useless. Until Kanan stops him by force. This unfortunately raises the alarm.
Start the battle off by getting rid of the Leader units. Quark will berate
Kanan for blowing their cover.
Getting rid of these foes will lead to the next cut-scene where Elza and Kanan
get separated from Quark and Yuris.
Kanan apologizes for causing trouble and Elza teases her for it.
For the time being, Elza and Kanan need to regroup with the others. Enter the
passageway in the wall that just opened up.
Elza and Kanan will eventually reach a bridge where a limitless number of Gurg
will attack from both sides. Hold them off for as long as possible until Elza
says 'No matter how many of them I take out, more of them come', and Kanan
says that she can't keep this up any longer.
The next cut-scene starts with Kanan collapsing and the two of them being
surrounded on both sides by Gurg forces.
Kanan tells Elza to leave her behind for now, the time that she spent with him
made her happy and she was glad she met him and his friends. He embraces her
and a mysterious light emits around them and out the top of the volcano.
A new cut-scene occurs.
During this a new cut-scene, Trista, Tasha and some Ruli warships arrive. The
Ruli Navy is now attacking the Gurg base. Trista shows off his badassery by
cutting down a flying enemy with ease. He orders Tasha to secure some of the
flying monsters. The naval attack distracts the Gurg and take out some of them.
Break through the remaining Gurg troops blocking your way.
Meet up with Yuris, who is currently surrounded by enemies. Defeat that group
and head for the stairs.
Go upstairs, and find Quark fighting off more Gurg. Help him out. Immediately
find the Gurg mage who is making the damage circle around the area and take
him out. One the enemies may drop another Blood Sword here. Head out towards
the cliffs from here, and the place starts to collapse. Head back inside.
Quark asks what's causing the commotion, and Elza says that reinforcements
from Ruli Island have arrived.
Open the gate here, and there is a chest behind the rock pillar on the left.
Open the next gate to find a save point, then move on to the next gate and
open that. The party will arrive back in a the place they came into initially
(note the open chests). Go outside to start the next cut-scene. Tasha arrives
with some griffon creatures and the party jumps on. They're continuing their
assault on the rest of the Gurg base in this cut-scene.
The party finds an entrance to the base and has Yuris attack the enemies on
the deck (destroy it) while Quark acts as a decoy.
The party is now accompanied by Trista and Tasha. Be wary of the snipers above
ground shooting Burst arrows at the party. Either have Yuris or Kanan take
them out with magic, or have Elza return fire with his bowgun. Once this first
group at the entrance have been cleared out, head for the large red door. Down
this passage is a Save point. Continue on to the next fight.
A short scene occurs with Gurg archers sniping with Burst arrows. Defeat the
enemies here, as usual there are a number of snipers hiding out on the
balconies up top. Shoot them down with magic or arrows.
You will notice some large crystal formations farther in. Either have the
magic users destroy them to take out enemies below them, or have Elza climb up
the higher path and shoot them with Burst arrows. Destroying the crystals will
drop them on mages below and crush them. A chest along the upper walkway
contains 10 Burst Arrows.
Deeper in the cavern are ogres along with Gurg forces, so attack either in
groups or from a distance. Once the initial group of enemies has finally been
cleared out, Elza is given the option to either 'Move on' or 'Continue
fighting'. Continue fighting if you think the party needs more XP or loot.
Quark will slowly get annoyed if Elza wants to continue bashing skulls in.
Pick up any items that have been dropped and head for the lift to go to the
next area.
In this hallway is a Save Point, a chest and Summon Circle. Make preparations
before entering the large double doors. The party is welcomed by Zangurg.
Zangurg will then leave and Quark chases after him, leaving the rest of the
party to deal with his pet, Marbas.
Boss: Marbas
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
This boss cannot be hit normally because it's too damn fast. Trista explains
that to stop Marbas, use the Green Cannon shells on the ground and throw them
along the edge of the room where Marbas runs along. They trigger like
landmines, so upon exploding will release Kura-kura (Dizzy) gas, and this will
temporarily stop the boss from moving. Attack the boss during this phase, and
repeat until he's dead. Marbas will give a last roar of defiance and then fall
over.
Marbas drops the Speed Star sword.
Go down the passage behind the throne to find Quark on the ground. The next
cut-scene plays out with some Ruli Knights arriving, saying that Gurg have
escaped on their ships, and it's time for the party to return to Ruli Island
with Trista. Time to move on to Chapter 17.
Chapter 17 - Trista's Ship [CH17]
The scene starts with the party talking among themselves on the ship, with
Kanan absent. Manamia asks why Al was called 'Lady Kanan' by Trista, Quark and
Elza apologize for hiding the truth from them.
Now onboard a boat headed back Ruli Island. Another cut-scene. There is an
Upgrade shop, Weapon shop, Identify shop and Trade shop on the ship.
Note, you can buy shark fins only at THIS location, go below deck and talk the
merchant there if you want some.
Talk to the important NPCs (Tasha, Trista). Talk to Elza's friends.
Quark is in the room behind Elza.
Tasha is on the right of the ship where Elza starts.
Manamia is on the left side of the deck where Elza starts.
Trista is standing near the main mast.
He asks about the symbols on Elza's right hand. Trista seems to know something
about it, but won't go into the details.
Yuris is near the bow of the ship. Elza can check the boxes and barrels near
Yuris to 'search' for Kanan. Yuris will comment on Elza's stupidity.
Head below deck and look for Kanan near the right. Elza will notice that she
was crying.
Follow Kanan below deck to the right side near the cannons (Kanan... Cannons,
wait what). Another cut-scene occurs once he reaches her.
Kanan is very upset and Elza says he can't stand to see her like this, and says
he will definitely take her along with him away from the Castle. He goes back
up on deck to speak with Quark about this.
The party refuses to do so as this is bad for them as a whole. Quark will
object as Elza will put everyone in danger if he tries to hide Kanan from her
family.
Talk to Trista to go back to Ruli Island. Another cut-scene in the castle
occurs. Then you get arrested (what the hell!?), as Jill (that total bastard)
accuses Elza of kidnapping Kanan and stealing the Arganan Family's Grimoire.
Yay (not).
The party will go to jail and find Jackal, Seiren and Lotta (what the hell is
he doing here?).
Chapter 18 - Ruli Castle: Prison [CH18]
Before anything starts, Quark gets escorted out of prison, leaving the others
stuck.
It looks like Seiren and Jackal got thrown in jail, with no fault of their own.
Talk to the party members, and Lotta. The left most prisoner has an Identify
and Weapon shop. Another scene occurs as Elza gets taken away by some guards
to an interrogation room. Yet another scene with Jill 'prosecuting' Elza and
accusing him of various crimes. Tasha puts in a good word for Elza, but it
doesn't do him much good. Jill spouts some garbage and Elza retorts. Then Elza
has a choice. Choosing the Left choice 'Kanan asked me to' will not work, so
pick the choice on the Right. Elza gets some beatings from a guard. (He's
pretty tough though, you have to admit). Jill is a total dick (kill that
bastard).
A Flashback involving Elza and Quark when they were young plays out.
Back to the cell, Elza wakes up with the party checking on how he's doing.
Speak with your fellow prisoners.
The shopkeeper says that there is a mysterious 'space' underneath the castle
and there's probably a ridiculous amount of treasure in it. He snuck into the
castle and got arrested for that.
The man next to Manamia says that he was thrown into jail for telling the
truth about Jill being a lying son of a bitch coward.
Manamia complains that the party didn't do anything wrong so it's bad that
they're in the jail.
The man next to Jackal says that since the present Earl has come into power,
things have changed. If you even badmouth the Earl slightly, you'll end up in
jail. He misses the past ruling generation.
Jackal complains that he was supposed to have a date today.
Seiren says that the others were lucky to have escaped on the ship earlier.
The two of them got thrown in jail for no reason she says.
Yuris says that being stuck in a dark room reminds him of his past.
Speak with Lotta to progress the story.
Elza: Say haven't I met you somewhere before? Whatever, what'd you do to get
caught up in here?
Lotta: Eh... honestly I tried to sneak into a certain noble's mansion. I got
caught.
Elza: Huh... a thief eh?
Lotta: No no! I'm not a thief. I was trying to get something of mine back. But
I tried to lodge a complaint. But they wouldn't believe the testimony of
someone of my social status, so they wouldn't let me take it back.
Elza: I see... we're in the same boat I guess.
Lotta: You guys as well? From what I can see, you don't seem like bad people
at all... right, well would you be willing to help me with something?
Elza: With what...?
Lotta: Oops... right now is... we're being observed again...
And again;
Elza: Whatcha doin'?
Lotta: Look here now. While the guards weren't looking I dug a hole here. To
be honest, I like archaeology, so going through old ruins and stuff is a hobby
of mine. This hole looks really suspicious. Heh, like something good is here.
Elza: We can escape through here!?
Lotta: Well... up through there are monsters, so going by myself was kind of...
if someone strong like you was with me... well would you be willing to help
out?
Elza: Sure.
Jackal will stay behind to keep watch while the rest of the party goes
exploring.
Chapter 19 - Underground Secret Path [CH19]
After agreeing to help Lotta escape, you will enter the Underground Secret
Path below the prison.
Joining Elza this time are: Seiren, Manamia and Lotta.
There are a number of hidden walls/passages in this area. However always pick
the Left choice and have Lotta examine them. Otherwise if Elza examines them,
they will blow up and hurt him (not good).
In the starting room: Seek the following.
Left Wall -> Treasure Chest with random item
Right Wall -> Crawl space to the next area. Manamia will sneeze and complain
that it's cold.
Next area: Seek again. Empty Well Room.
Left Wall -> Treasure Chest
Right Wall -> Crawl space to the Healing Well room.
Healing Well Room
Lotta will stand around, but look up and see the Spider to start a fight (and
save Lotta from getting eaten). After the fight, a door opens. Go back into
Seek mode.
The wall next to Crawl space -> Treasure Chest
Go out the door. Lizard Statue Room
Left Wall -> Lotta checks out the chest, and the party hears noise. Elza will
go out to check.
Quickly look left to block the lizard man's attack. Defeat the Stone Blade
Lizards, all the doors open afterward.
Go down the stairs under the sarcophagus.
Lotta will then open a trapped chest. Undead and spiders appear to start
another fight.
Go into Seek mode to search the room. There are two doors you can open in this
room.
Left Wall -> Treasure Chest
If you head through the Left Passage there is a Summon Circle. Check the left
wall for a Treasure Chest.
If you head through the Right Passage, check the Left wall first. There will
be a treasure chest, but enemies will appear. Defeat them, then search for the
passage on the Right side. There is a narrow hallway with a chest. Lotta will
run towards it, but triggers a trapdoor and falls in.
In order to get the chest (now separated from you by a trapdoor), go into Seek
mode, and look up. There is a crystal stalactite structure. Shoot that with a
Burst Arrow to break it and the crystals will fall and knock the chest down
into the next area.
Down the trapdoor:
The chest that was knocked down is sitting here. Open it to get the Deadly Bow.
Go straight and to the right into a foggy room.
Check the left wall, and go up the stairs to the room with pews and benches.
Check the main coffin. It will explode and Necromancer comes out.
Quickly attack him and he will escape. Follow him down the stairs underneath
the coffin. Beat him up again and he runs away (again). Go down the stairs
under the coffin.
The party enters a room full of skeletons. Fight the Skeleton King, and his
underlings. Be careful as he is a giant skeleton that throws the smaller ones
in order to attack. Defeating him will have a save point appear.
Follow the blood stains to the coffin.
Another Statue room. Open the coffin. Get Elza to open it because Lotta has
low lives, and if Lotta dies it is game over. Opening the coffin will KO
whoever opens it (in this case, Elza).
Boss: Necromancer
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Necromancer appears again. This is the last fight against him. He summons
skeletons and awakens the Stone Blades to attack, so be careful of being
petrified.
This is a fairly simple fight, just chase after the Necromancer as he
teleports around the room and beat him into submission.
When the Necromancer's HP goes to 0, Elza has to run over to him and finish
him off with a critical hit.
The Necromancer drops the Duel Sword.
Check the ice structure in the room. Lotta will hand over a Sunstone, allowing
Elza to melt the ice and reveal the door leading to the next room.
In the Tomb room. You find a dead-end and check the coffin. Another scene
occurs, where the party finds a book written in ancient script. Get the
Sunstone from Lotta as a gift for 'trying' to escape. The party gives up and
returns to their cell.
Back in the cell, General Trista brings the party their food. Elza will refuse
to talk, so pick the '...' option.
A scene with Quark and Earl Arganan plays out, with the Earl questioning the
party's innocence, as well the truth in Jill's testimony.
Check the cell door. Get taken to the interrogation room again for another
scene. However, before Elza is falsely proven guilty, Trista and Kanan
interrupt. Quark and the Earl show up as well and say that Jill is a lying
piece of crap and that Elza is going to be the new hero of Ruli Island. This
really pisses Jill off as the people present start to laugh at him in mockery.
Get freed from Prison. (Finally!) Find Trista in the courtyard and talk to him
to thank him. Finish up with him, then head back into the castle to talk to
Earl Arganan with Quark. The Earl makes a deal with Elza, telling him that the
power he has is very important in winning the war. And since Jill is a lying
sack of crap, he's also throwing in Kanan's hand in marriage to sweeten the
deal. Elza leaves the Earl's room thinking on this, but he sees Kanan who has
overheard this. She runs away.
Follow after her to apologize/explain to her about the situation. Head towards
her bedroom. The maid says that she's not there. Go to the ballroom.
Follow her to the balcony. A cut-scene with Kanan plays out, with her telling
Elza he shouldn't dream about becoming a knight.
You are now free to leave the Castle and explore town again.
The following Side-quests are now available at this point:
Kanan's One Piece
Key Thief
Stolen Permission Pass
Lizard Counter-attack
Dragonmeister
Pumpkin Garden
Marche Store-Keeping
The following Optional Chapters are also available:
Chapter 21: Tavern Salamander -> The Stolen Permission Pass must be cleared
first, then talk to the man in green, sitting in the back of Ariel's Tavern.
Chapter 20: Haunted Mansion -> Learn that Lotta is looking for Elza, then find
him on Arganan Bridge to speak with him and agree to help him.
Chapter 24: Into the Sewers -> Clear the Haunted Mansion Chapter first, then
go to Lotta's shop to learn about this chapter.
The replayable areas at this point are:
Lizard's Cave
Robber's Hideout
Mysterious Forest
From here, Elza can choose to start two additional side chapters.
Talk to people at the Tavern to find out that Lotta was looking for Elza and
is hanging around Arganan Bridge. Seek mode near the bridge to find him. Talk
to Lotta and agree to help him in order to go to Chapter 20.
Talk to a man in the corner of the first floor of the Tavern in order to
unlock Chapter 21. Agree to help him in order to do so. You must finish the
Stolen Permission Pass Side-quest first however.
Heading back to Ruli Castle and talking to the Earl will start Chapter 22.
Chapter 20 - Haunted Mansion [CH20]
Elza agrees to go to 'that' Noble's mansion to help Lotta find his wife, who
had gone missing there.
Elza, Quark, Jackal, Yuris and Lotta will join you. Because Lotta is there,
you can upgrade your equipment whenever. Just talk to him when you're not in
battle.
Check the door. It will be locked. Lotta will open it. The party is now
trapped in the mansion as the door slams and locks itself behind the party.
Quark tells Jackal to stop goofing around and Jackal says that he didn't do
anything.
Look up at the Chandelier in order to save Yuris (if he gets hit, he starts at
50% health). Wander around the room for a bit. Quark will get abducted by
'something' in the wall.
Open the door, bats come out of the room. Yuris starts to freak out. Look
towards the mirror in the left-corner. Jackal gets abducted as well as a
skeleton bonks him over the head and drags him into the mirror. Seek the
mirror. Run to the back left corner of the room and Check the book there. Then
go back and check the mirror. Attack the skeleton that abducted Jackal. Open
the door to the next room. Yuris will yell at Lotta, demanding an explanation
about the haunted house, and why it's called the 'People-eating Manor'.
Continue further along the hallway, bats break through the window, and then
Yuris will get dragged through the floor, leaving Elza and Lotta by themselves.
Enter the bedroom. Before you can do anything, skeletons attack. Lotta gets
abducted next by the skeleton during a cut-scene. Seek the book in the corner
of the room on the nightstand. Check it out.
Check the mirror, then continue to the next room. Immediately look to the right
at the sword and shield on the wall. Elza will dodge it as it flies at him.
Check the sword (now stuck in the wall) for a Phantom Sword (cursed). Continue
down the hall until a door opens for you. Go outside to the grave area.
You will notice the gravestones will read the names of the party members
(including those not with you at the moment), Lotta and Lotta's wife Irmina.
Open up the coffins to find your party members (and some skeletons). Your party
members each have a different reaction from being stuck inside the coffins.
Once everyone has been freed, there is another scene involving Elza finding
Irmina's glasses. Try to leave the area, then an old 'friend' appears.
Mini-Boss: Ghoul
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Fight Ghoul. This time, Ghoul is heavily armored all around. Because you don't
have higher ground to Slash at him, use Elza's Dunk Slash ability to deal
heavy damage to Ghoul. Hiding behind the gravestones and using Slash will
still cause him to bounce around like a pinball, but because the battle area
is small, there is a higher chance of Ghoul hitting Elza and the party during
his rebounds. Once ghoul has been defeated, go back into the mansion. Elza
will see a ghost child. Follow him to the next room.
In Seek mode look at the bookshelf and the party will hear some moaning. Next,
Seek under the candle on the right to find a keyhole. Go out the door that
leads outside to find yet another Ghoul and some skeletons. Note that if any
of the party members get downed, a black skeleton will come and drag them into
the mirror (and back to the coffins where the first ghoul was). Defeat the
enemies and go back outside to rescue anyone who was dragged into the mirror.
However the coffins have closed up again, and now are trapped. It is completely
random as to which one your party members are stuck in.
Continue back outside and open the door back into the mansion. Be careful of
the bats, they will drain Elza's HP very quickly. Use the White Cannons to
heal if Elza gets hurt. Seek the book in the left corner of the room. Check it
to read it. Open the door, and you will be back at the main entrance. Search
the remains of the chandelier for the key, Elza finds Key Item: Rusted Key.
Be ready for another battle after Elza picks it up.
In order to defeat the Phantom Armor, go up to the ones that aren't possessed
yet and use the Attack command to break them. A sphere of light will try to
possess the armors that you aren't fighting yet. This will make the fight a
lot quicker. Spheres that can't find a suit of armor to possess will self-
destruct, so don't get close to them.
Return to the room with the keyhole, through a new door that the party can
access. When you return to that room, bats will drain Elza's HP again. Again,
use the White Cannons to heal if Elza is hurting.
Use the key and Elza will fail. He'll call Lotta and the door will open.
Another cut-scene where Lotta will find his wife tied to something. Lotta will
get blown back by some energy, then the boss appears. Get ready!
Boss: Nebirous
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
It's Nebirous! A vampire (kind of)... okay to be fair it's a giant floating
coffin, but whatever. It's still a vampire according to the party.
In order to damage the Vampire, shoot it with Silver Arrows. The ghost child
will continue to give arrows to Elza if he runs out. Defeating any other
undead archers that appear will also give Elza some Silver Arrows.
Once the vampire has been hit by a Silver Arrow, the party is able to damage
it with their weapons. If you attack it without shooting him, you'll do
minimal damage.
Chase Nebirous if he runs away and repeat the process until he's dead. He is a
fairly easy to deal with opponent as long as you can continuous shoot him with
arrows and prevent him from using his stronger abilities (which he can't while
in his weakened state).
The vampire will drop Death (cursed) when you take him down.
Once Nebirous has been defeated, Yuris will be overjoyed that he can finally
leave the 'people-eating' mansion.
There will be a cut-scene with Lotta being overjoyed that he found Irmina and
the party will leave the mansion after all that.
Yuris says that this mansion 'wasn't so bad', but Jackal points out that the
front of Yuris' pants are wet for some reason. He must have pissed himself out
of fear.
The next morning Elza will wake up in the Tavern. Leave his room and go
downstairs to find Lotta and his wife. Speak with them, and they tell him to
come visit their store sometime. Do this to open up Chapter 24.
You can also return to the Haunted Mansion if you want to fight Nebirous again.
Chapter 21 - Tavern Salamander [CH21]
Talk to the man in green sitting in the back of Ariel's Tavern. Agree to help
him find his daughter, who was kidnapped by a robed man. Go to the Fountain
Plaza and you'll see a man in a black robe. Use Seek to confirm that it's him.
Then follow him. Once you've chased him far enough, he will run into a
building that at the start of the game the party couldn't access. This is the
Tavern Salamander. Go inside and Seek the man twice. Elza accuses him of
kidnapping children and tells him to stop it. The man says 'what of it?' and
starts a fight. Defeat him and his goons. More goons come in, but this time
Quark, Yuris and Seiren join in on the fun. Defeat all the goons and check
behind the bar for two chests. Head up the stairs on the left. Use Slash to
knock the other two guards out.
Seiren will check one door with Elza, as Quark checks another. Yuris remains
downstairs to stand guard.
Enter the room and take out the six goons. Get the single chest near the
corner. The game goes to a scene with Quark finding a key. Meet back up with
Quark. Go to the room Quark was in to find two chests and a save point. There
will be a door with seals on it. Elza can't open that yet. Head back to the
room Elza explored with Seiren, open the door with the newly acquired key. No
one is inside. Check out the window and climb outside to get to the other room.
Once Elza gets far along enough, a little girl will call for help and open the
window. Head inside and kill the goons. When the party heads back downstairs,
it's time for a boss fight.
Boss: Lesser Shade
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Normal weapons and physical attacks can't damage it. In order to hurt it,
knock over the torches near the shade and then attack it with elemental damage,
or wait for Yuris to lob fireballs at it.
The little girl that you rescued will cast White Magic circles for the party
in case you need healing. Continue to beat on the Shade and dodge its attacks.
Once enough damage has been dealt to it, it will split up in to mini-shades,
which are much weaker than the original, but need to be dealt with in the same
way, with magic circles.
If the party can defeat the shade very quickly (before it splits up), Elza
will receive a ? Bowgun (which when ID'd becomes the Fast Bow). If you take
too long, you will receive a Snipe Bow instead.
The party will return to Ariel's Tavern. Talk to the girl's father to receive
3 Dragon Fangs and his gratitude.
After this, the Fortune teller outside of Ariel's Tavern says that she can now
tell 'Love Fortunes' and this unlocks the Side-Quest: Elza's Groupies.
The Tavern Salamander can now be explored.
Chapter 22 - Corridor of Dark Spirit [CH22]
Back to the main story now...
Return to Ruli Castle and talk to Earl Arganan in his office and swear loyalty
to him (Left choice). You receive the Fallen Angel's Sword from the Earl to
commemorate the event.
A cut-scene in the Castle, where the Earl introduces Quark and Elza as the
next great heroes and saviors of Ruli Island. The party returns to the Tavern
to party it up. Talk to everybody but Seiren. When Elza tries to leave the
Tavern, Seiren won't let him. Talk to Seiren (last) to continue the train of
events, Pick both left choices. The party gets really drunk and the night
passes.
Next morning: Ariel tells Elza that the gang has gone to the castle without
him. Head there (or do some side quests).
The new Side-quests available are:
Bow Expert
Go to the Castle and head to the Earl's office. Watch the cut-scene, where the
Earl explains to Elza and friends that Ruli Island is capable of self-
locomotion, except that its ability has been sealed and needs Elza to unseal
it.
Exit and head to the Courtyard and examine the device next to the arch where
Trista was standing. A staircase underneath the fountain will appear. You can
now the lift there to access the Jail (to finish the Starving Kid Side-Quest)
as well as your destination, the Underground Depths. After a scene about the
Manipulator's Domain (your next objective) Elza can wander around and talk to
the rest of the party. Only Quark and Manamia will be joining him in this next
little escapade. There is a man standing next to the lift that can Upgrade
your equipment.
When you're ready, enter the creepy looking portal. The party will arrive in a
place much like another dimension. As Elza makes his way down the path, a
large black snake-like thing will move around the area. Open the nearby chest.
The party will reach an area with a hexagonal platform and a robed man kneeling
over it.
A cut-scene occurs as Manamia tells Elza not to get close to him. A battle with
the robed figure ensues.
Mini-Boss: Dark Master and Dark Servant
Dark Master
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Dark Servant
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
In order to defeat the Dark Master, Elza must use Gathering to make the Dark
Servant (a large sword wielding skeleton) appear. Attack the Servant, and after
dealing enough damage, the Dark Master will be vulnerable. Attack him.
Once defeated the platform is activated. Use the platform.
The party is taken up to a weird cube like structure, where Elza must Seek to
find a gate above the party. Manamia and Quark will comment that they can't
get there. Wait for a moment and Operate the platform, which causes the entire
structure to turn, surprising the party. Head for the first gate.
You will encounter the Dark Master and Servant again, as well as two Skeleton
Pipers, who will create poison circles. Take out the Dark Servant, then its
Master. Afterward the party can easily clean up the last two enemies. Leave
the area and return to the rotating cube. Activate the platform again, and the
party will notice that some magical stairs have appeared. However you are only
half way there, so Seek the next gate above the party and activate the
platform yet again. Head to the next gate.
The party will encounter another Dark Master and three Skeleton Archers.
Repeat the same process as before, defeat all the enemies and head back to the
cube room to reset the room's orientation and take the stairs to the next gate.
Another pathway, and right into a battle with a Dark Master and two Servants.
Defeat both servants before attacking their master. Continue onward. Manamia's
stomach will start growling. Open the chest near the stairs to get an Ogre
Nail. Continue to the next chest and save point. Notice that there is a path
that veers off away from the stairs that go down, there is a Summon Circle
there that the party can use to level up. The chest near there contains the
Lapis Lazuli sword.
Enter the gate downstairs. Another cut-scene starts, indicating the party has
reached the 'Manipulator's Domain', but something is off about it.
Boss: Shade
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Yet another Shade, except this one is MUCH bigger than the one you faced in
the Tavern Salamander. Meaning it's also much tougher.
Like the Lesser Shade before it, the only way to hurt Shade is via
magic/elemental damage. Physical attacks will not affect it.
Use Command and have Manamia cast her Plant/Forest attack spells on the Shade,
creating a magic circle where Elza and Quark can stand and attack it. Once a
magic circle has been placed, beat on the Shade mercilessly until it dies.
Repeat this if necessary.
Once the Shade reaches less than a certain amount of life, it will possess
Quark. Quark will now be manipulated and will try to attack Elza and Manamia.
In order to cure him, you can defeat Quark in order to have the Shade reappear
Beat down Quark as quickly as you can, since he has the same stats as he would
normally, which may be difficult.
Or the easier/safer way is to have Manamia cast a White Magic circle and lure
Quark into it, curing him (and sparing him a Life).
Once defeated Shade drops the Palladium sword.
A stone panel appears in the center of the area and Elza examines it, removing
the seal on the island. He learns more about the source of his strange power.
During this, the entire Ruli Island is activated by Elza's powers. Afterward,
he returns to the castle and meets with the Earl to make the Island move.
Kanan tries to stop her uncle from doing so and gets backhanded for her
trouble. Choose the left option to do so in order to progress the game.
A short cut-scene occurs with Jill getting really mad at some faceless goons,
telling them to 'take care' of Elza.
Elza gets out of bed and the maid asks him to head to the courtyard. Do so by
heading out of the living quarters area and over the bridge to the main area
of the castle. Elza can now 'Watch' the island sail through the ocean.
Head down to the second floor. There is a knight (in silver armor) pacing the
area. Talk to him to get access to Chapter 25. He asks you to meet him in the
Underground Depths to discuss the source of the troubles he has.
Head out to the courtyard and Elza will be attacked by assassins. In a few
moments, a robed figure will join in to help Elza. Defeat the assassins, and
the robed figure will run away. Elza will attempt to interrogate one of the
assassins, but he will disappear.
Head towards the military building and go up to the Lookout point to meet with
Tasha. Afterwards, Tasha leaves, so head back to the military building to see
Manamia speaking with General Trista. Watch this scene and then speak with
Manamia, she'll tell you not to mind it (and tell you nothing else), so head
out to the courtyard and speak with Trista. He will ask Elza if he wants to
brave the Tower of Ordeal. Choose either yes or no. Choosing Yes will bring </pre><pre id="faqspan-4">
you to Chapter 23. Choose No if you have some other business to take care of
first, like Chapter 24, 25 or Side-Quests.
Chapter 23 - Tower of Ordeal [CH23]
Elza will follow Trista to the Tower of Ordeal. Follow Trista's instructions
in order to be successful through these trials.
There are Five Ordeals, but before Elza can continue on, he will receive Key
Item: Magatama of Ordeals. He only gets to keep this item during this chapter
only.
Floor 1: Defense
Elza must first carry the little boy through the obstacle course and avoid
getting shot up by the archers. Be sure to hide behind whatever cover is
provided as he makes it across the bridge. Once Elza reaches the gate, a Trial
Mage (statue) will help him defeat the archers. Use Gathering to attract
attention away from the mage, allowing him a clear shot at the archers. Or if
you're lazy, just blast them with Burst Arrows.
Clearing this will earn the Solid Shield, which boosts Elza's Defense by +10.
Head up the stairs to the next floor.
Floor 2: Strength
Elza must wipe out all the enemies by himself. The archers and healers will be
easy to deal with. The ogres might give you more trouble. Note that some of
the knights and mages are still statues (for now). A few of these knights are
invincible and must be defeated by knocking them off the stage. The mages
however will cast poison spells, so use the fountain to heal that. Once Elza
steps in the inner area with the fountain, the stone knights will awaken, so
avoid them if necessary, until the other enemies have been defeated, then focus
on them.
Clearing this will earn the Ferocious Sword, which boosts Elza's Attack by +10.
Head through the gate to the next floor.
Floor 3: Intelligence
Elza is allowed to have only one ally on this floor (at a time!). Choose from
the Mage, Archer, or Healer to defeat the enemy team. Choosing the Mage statue
will allow Elza to damage the otherwise invincible Knight. Use Seek to target
the knight, to order the Trial Mage to cast an attack spell on him.
Clearing this will earn the Sharp Eye, which boosts Arrow Damage by +5.0.
Floor 4: Humanity
Elza has six allies which he must team up with to defeat the enemy team of six.
Simply beat the six enemies to death, this is an easy fight. Elza will let you
know how many of the enemy are left as you take them down.
Clearing this will earn the Gentle Hand, which boosts Elza's Speed by +10.
Head to the open door to the next floor.
Floor 5: Bravery
Boss: Master Trista
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Elza now must 'duel to the death' against Master Trista. In order to make the
fight progress, Elza must use all his unique skills at least once on Trista.
Use Wind, Dunk Slash, and Slash in order to further the battle. (Also you must
use Counter if this is a New Game Plus run).
Beware of Trista's jumping slam. It will deal heavy damage if it connects.
Don't bother firing arrows at Trista, as he will Perfect Guard them all. There
will be quick-time event cut-scenes where you must push up or down to block
Trista's attacks. This will occur four times. The final time, Elza will knock
Trista's sword out of his hands and end the battle.
Trista will give Elza the Key Item: Trista's Medal. Finishing the battle will
also earn Elza the ability to Counter.
Clearing this will also earn the Brave Soldier, which gives Elza +100 to his
maximum health.
Head downstairs for a cut-scene with Jill. That guys pulls some weird stuff
when he shakes Elza's hand. That snake managed to poison Elza with some Death
Sentence Poison! This means Elza has to finish the next fight against the Ogre
within the countdown, or it's Game Over, as Elza also only has 1 Life to work
with. If you happen to have an upgraded Ogre Hammer on you, now is the time to
use it.
Defeating the Ogre earns you a Wise Dagger.
After all this, Elza will return to his room and the day passes.
Tasha knocks on the door and speaks with Elza. Talk to Tasha to continue on to
Chapter 26. However if you haven't deal with the other chapters yet, don't
follow him yet and leave Ruli Castle.
Leave the castle and head to Ariel's Tavern to see a short scene with Yuris (if
you noticed that he hasn't been in the castle since the start of the Chapter).
The Tower of Ordeal is added to your Map menu, however it will not be playable
right now as the knight standing guard in the tower tells you to stop working
so hard, and to get lost.
Chapter 24 - Underground Labyrinth [CH24]
Head to Lotta's store after clearing Chapter 20. Speak to him and his wife to
learn that Lotta had heard rumors about Lizards sneaking into the city through
a well near the Marche. He then went to check it out, but got scared and
dropped an important book. He would like the party to go down the well and
fetch it for him. Agree to do so to access the well.
Head towards the well, West of the Marche.
Quark, Seiren, Yuris and Jackal will join Elza in this optional chapter to
recover the book that Lotta had dropped. This book will allow the party to
Uncurse weapons once returned to Lotta; gee that sounds really useful since
you should have 2-3 Cursed weapons by now.
From the starting point, turn around and enter the narrow passage to find a
Chest and possibly a rare item.
Continue on until the party reaches a save point and dead end. Examine the
rock wall, and Elza will kick it open.
The party will find themselves in a large underground ruin. Press onward to
find a lizard archer, in First Person mode, seek him. Quark will angrily chase
after the lizard and then get surrounded. Kill all the lizards and their
reinforcements.
Once that's been done, search the area for a nearby treasure chest, then move
on through the gate where the lizard reinforcements came from.
Chase down any lizards, but beware of the archers who shoot Prank bananas.
You'll also see items all along the area, but don't pick them up yet, as they
are protected by Landmine traps.
Seek out all the lizards and kill them. This new area has one chest as well.
Instead of heading through the door the party is waiting at, go to the farther
door at the right and go through the narrow pathway, there are two chests
there. Continue onward to the save point.
Go to the next area up the stairs and open the gate. There are three pathways,
each with lizards guarding a chest in each area.
Clear out the lizard groups in any order.
Note that each area has its own guard at the front. If you alert him, he'll
call more lizards out to ambush Elza and friends. If you manage to kill him
silently, reinforcements won't arrive and Elza can sneak over and snipe the
other lizards with ease.
Open the chests in each area to get an Ivory Fang charm from each.
One of the groups might drop the Rare Weapon: Oni.
Once all three fangs have been collected, examine the statue of the lizard
near the stairs. Elza will stick the fangs into the statue and reveal a hidden
stairway. Head down the stairs.
Seiren will comment about the ridiculous amount of treasure hidden in the area,
however you will not be able to access it yet. Continue down the hall and the
party will note there are two Lizard Blades there. Shoot them through the cell
door with the bowgun to lure them over to the party. After defeating both,
continue on to the room they were guarding. There is a Summon Circle in this
room if leveling is desired.
Open the door to the next area and move on. Save if needed, then go through
the next door to a large room with two statues and pillars in it. Be prepared
for a short scene and then a boss fight.
Boss: Queen of Abyss
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
You'll see a group of lizards performing some strange ritual around a magic
circle. After their ritual a GIANT lizard crashes through the ceiling and
starts rampaging.
This thing is the Lizard folk's 'god'. She is also really huge. Do not let her
eat/swallow up the other party members, because if she does, she will
instantly KO them. When she does however try to swallow Elza, follow the on-
screen commands to avoid being eaten, and continue to attack her.
To have her 'eat' Elza, use Gathering to draw its attention and lure her away
from the other party members. In order to deal heavy damage to the Queen, lure
her to one of the orange cannon shells, and when she's about to eat Elza, roll
away. She will instead throw the cannon shell up and swallow that instead,
causing massive indigestion (and damage)!
If the Queen has one of the party members, pick up a cannon shell and throw it
at her mouth to save that person.
The fight is fairly simple as long as you avoid getting eaten and clear out
the never-ending lizard reinforcements. This is an excellent area to grind for
rare materials by the way.
Defeating Queen of Abyss will earn the party the Flame Lizard (Cursed).
Head up the altar where the lizards were dancing to find Lotta's book and get
out of here through the doorway.
There will be a rather amusing scene involving counting how many stairs the
party has to climb as they try to leave. Quark tells the 'young'un's to stop
whining as he leads the count. Once they hit the 3000 something mark, Quark
gets exhausted and Elza takes over.
Return to Lotta's store to give him the book. Now Lotta can uncurse any
equipment the party finds for a reasonable fee of Light of the Stranger x 1.
The Underground Labyrinth can be replayed now.
Chapter 25 - Sea Cave [CH25]
Remember that knight that was pacing around in front of the door to the
Courtyard? You might want to help him now...
Head down to the Underground Depths in Ruli Castle, and approach the gate
where two knights are standing. Elza will learn that when the island started
to move, some sea monsters got onto it and a scouting team was sent to check
out the situation, but haven't returned yet. Make a choice as to whether or
not Elza will go on the rescue mission. Choose to go on the Mission (duh).
The party will comprise of Elza, Quark, Seiren, Manamia and Jackal. You will
return to a very familiar area (the ruins in Chapter 1 where Elza learned
Gathering).
Seiren will complain that this area gives her bad memories, and demands that
Elza 'warms her up'. Elza ignores her plea, but Jackal takes her up on the
offer. She then tells Jackal that he's being gross. Elza and Manamia tell them
to shut up.
Grab the chest near a pillar, then move down the corridor and open the door on
the left. The area however will have changed considerably. Look to your right
and spot some lizards firing arrows at the party. Quark will have the party
split up, so Elza will have to start climbing across the cliff face. Watch out
for falling rocks (they hurt). Jackal and Manamia will go with Elza. Climb
into the hole that the lizards came from, leaving Elza alone (for now).
Once inside, continue further into the cavern, and fight four lizards. Grab
the chest, the go into the hole in the wall the lizards came from. Elza will
emerge at the bridge (from Chapter 1) that Yuris may have blown up. Don't jump
down, but instead shoot the torches to attack the lizards as they greatly
outnumber Elza. Shoot the torches to take out the groups of lizards. Elza will
spot two of the knights near the far left pillar. If you feel particularly
daring, jump off the bridge and attack the lizards. Talk to the knights once
the lizards have been wiped out.
Elza will learn that there were four of them in total and the other two are
still missing.
Jackal will reunite with Elza afterward. There is a chest near the area Jackal
just came down from, as well as one right in front of the door to the next
area. Head up the stairs, Jackal will tell Elza that he saved one of the
knights, meaning there is still one missing. Head down the passage and kick
open the wall to the next room. Another battle starts, Jackal will head to the
right, leaving the front lines to Elza. Once the lizards have been defeated,
the party will hear Manamia scream. You will see her being chased by some
lizards, so defeat them. Afterward, Sea Lizards will climb out of the water
and attack the party. Be careful as they can spit sticky fluid to slow down
the party. If you let your party members get hit by this, they'll complain
that this is gross and nasty. They are weak to magic (just not Ice), so have
Manamia cast spells to hurt them. Once the Sea Lizards have been defeated,
Seek the area left to where Manamia and Jackal are standing to find a wall of
interest, the next entrance is the door to the right, but don't go there just
yet.
Before heading there, go down the path where Manamia came from to find a
treasure chest with a Light of the Stranger. Check the wall to the left, and
grab the treasure (Ogre Nail) nearby. The wall will open up, and the party
will reunite with Quark and Seiren. In this room there are two treasure chests
near the back. Now that the whole gang is back together, head to the door.
There are two chests near the stairs. Go downstairs to find a save point. As
the party approaches the next set of stairs, lizards will drop down on them.
Shake the control stick to get rid of them. One at the bottom, don't jump off
the current ledge until the treasure chest near the edge has been opened. Jump
down and be attacked by more lizards. You can choose to fight more lizards
(right choice), or move on (left choice). Head towards the water for the next
cut-scene with the last missing knight and a giant tentacle (get your minds
out of the gutter dammit).
Boss: Kraken
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Attack all the tentacles, and don't get caught by them. Once the tentacles have
been sliced off, the head will pop up and fire a beam at the ceiling of the
cave. Use the fallen rock to perform a Dunk Slash on Kraken for massive damage.
Getting hit by the ceiling chunks however will cause YOU massive damage. While
the Kraken's head is poking out, it will create black magic circles that will
stab party members standing on it. This will outright kill you and your party
members, no problem. So be sure to avoid these.
Repeat this procedure until the Kraken is very dead.
The party will find the Grand Swell sword, and the last knight will pop out of
the water alive... kind of. Okay fine, half-drowned but still alive. The
rescue mission is a success, as the party returns to the Castle.
The Sea Cave is now replayable.
Now that all the optional chapters have been (or should be) dealt with, you
can continue on with the main storyline.
Chapter 26 - Ruli Castle [CH26]
Now then, remember you left Tasha standing around in front of your room? Maybe
it's time to get back to him. He's probably getting all angsty and mad.
Talk to Tasha and choose 'Yes' (left choice), follow him to the walk way when
the castle gets bombed (again!?). Elza and Tasha will meet up with Earl
Arganan and Quark. The party will have to escort Earl Arganan to safety, away
from the attacking Gurg. Arriving at the first open area in the third floor,
Gurg troops attack the party. Defeat them, then head to the second floor.
Attack the next wave of enemies. Ruli knights will come and block off the main
entrance, so head to the Courtyard. Your party should now consist of Quark,
Tasha, the Earl, and a Healer.
The party will be attacked by three Phantom Coffins. Drop them immediately,
because they are fairly strong. Otherwise they might take out the Earl and
that's bad.
After that, the party will go through the Military building. You will be
joined by a Mage.
Inside the building are a number of Gurg forces, so fight them off and move on.
One of the enemies might drop the Healel sword, so grab it and move on. You
may also find a Defender sword here too. There will be a conversation between
Tasha and a knight. The Phantom Coffins return, so kill them as you did before.
Quark will run ahead of the party. Defeat the Gurg that came out of the lift,
and another cut-scene occurs, with Elza getting separated from Tasha and the
Earl. Elza will go up the lift. In Seek mode, look for the person lying on the
ground. A sad scene plays out as Trista with his last breath warns Elza about
'that man' and the secret associated with his medal.
Elza is then approached by Jill and a troop of knights, who then proceed in
arresting him and falsely accusing him for the murder of General Trista. (Boo!)
Jill looks like he's enjoying himself a little too much...
Elza gets thrown in prison, again.
Onward to Chapter 27!
Chapter 27 - Ruli Castle: Prison [CH27]
Hey this cell looks kind of familiar. Duh, you were thrown in here before on
false charges last time too, but now you're here by yourself. Wait for Quark
to arrive and speak to him. Quark asks if Elza is all right. Elza says that
he's fine, but is Trista all right. Quark says that they've just buried him.
He also suspects that Jill is up to something dirty and he'll figure it out in
order to free Elza from prison. Elza swears that he'll avenge Trista one way
or another.
Quark tells you to wait quietly and behave while he finds a way to bust you
out.
After Quark leaves, wait a bit for the next scene. In Seek mode look to Elza's
right at the robed figure standing at the door. The figure later reveals
herself as Kanan. She apologizes for not saying anything. She also knows about
something that Trista was looking into before his death.
Now the two of them must escape the castle and find Manamia, who had worked
Trista, searching for something to do with the secret of his medal and Ruli
Island.
Head to the Courtyard (Left choice on the elevator).
During this part of the game, control goes over to Kanan. She hands over 30
Sleep Arrows. Use the bowgun to snipe at the patrolling guards to put them
sleep. Don't let Elza get caught or you'll have to do it again.
While you shoot the guards, the two of them discuss where Manamia might be.
Apparently Manamia might still be somewhere in the castle, namely the library.
Put six knights to sleep and Elza will move on.
However the door is locked, so check each of the knights for the Courtyard key
(and a Gurg Sand). Inside the Castle, put the two Knights in plain sight to
sleep. You need to get Elza and Kanan to the Castle Library. There are two
knights patrolling the third floor where the library is. Put them to sleep too.
You can check these guards as well for items (though they're not carrying
anything).
Go into the library.
Control returns to Elza. Look to the right for Manamia (wow, she really was
there). Elza does a horrible job of hiding, and the knights do a lousy job of
searching. Elza shows the medal to Manamia and she says that it looks familiar.
She asks where Elza got it. She then explains there's more to this medal than
you think. It acts as the key to a forbidden area in Arganan Castle. Because
there are patrols throughout the castle, it would be bad if they get caught.
She then proposes that the party return to Ariel's Tavern, so they head there
immediately. And another scene plays out with the rest of the party wondering
how Elza got out of jail and why Kanan is with him. A patrol comes into the
Tavern, (though Elza, Kanan and Manamia are in PLAIN sight in the back), they
get scared off by Seiren.
After some discussion about whether or not the party should just ditch the
island, Elza says he wants to find out who killed Trista first before he's
done with Ruli Island, as well as the source of the mysterious power gifted
upon him. Seiren asks if anyone has an idea about who killed Trista. Quark
says there's a possibility it's Jill, since Trista got in his way before.
Jackal agrees with him. Yuris asks if there's any evidence of this. Quark says
that they'll go find some, by sneaking into Jill's room and searching it.
Talk to the rest of the party in the Tavern. (If you Zoom in on Manamia's face,
she'll be wearing glasses)
Talk to Quark when you're ready to break in to the Castle.
Note: It is night outside of the Tavern, so it is possible to do some night-
time only side-quests now.
Head to the Tavern Salamander, and use Seek on the man standing SE to its
entrance to receive the Wine Bottle weapon.
Return to Ariel's Tavern to start Chapter 28 with Quark.
Chapter 28 - Ruli Castle: Courtyard [CH28]
Heading back to Ruli Castle... instead of escaping, Elza and Quark and
breaking in. They start in the Courtyard and the game will zoom to the door
the pair need to get to. Do not let the guards spot you, and do not attack the
guards, this will cause a Game Over. Elza doesn't have access to the Sleep
Arrows like last time, so he must wait for the guards to pass, and sneak by
them quietly. Wait for the knight to pass, then head for the middle of the
courtyard. From there, Elza can easily get to the door (read: the knights are
really dumb and this isn't Metal Gear Solid).
Another way around this is to trip the guards using Prank Bananas and roll past
them while they're getting up.
Once inside (and somehow the Castle has magically repaired itself already),
follow the arrow to Jill's room. Just don't go up the left staircase, as there
is a guard there and he WILL follow after you. Instead head up the right
staircase, and wait for the patrolling knight there to walk away toward the
library. At the hallway near the count's office, there are guards standing
there, so walk toward the window there. Quark will stop Elza and tell him to
wait. Quark will go and distract the guards, sending them away. Elza is now
free to continue on to the living quarters. Go to Jill's room. Using Seek mode,
check the desk. This will lead to a cut-scene with the Earl and Jill, where
Elza finds evidence of Jill plotting against Ruli Island and that he is in
league with the Gurg. Then Justice! Sort of. But it seems like someone else is
pulling the strings right now...
Elza is now a free man, and wakes up in his room in the Castle. Answer the
door and speak with Tasha. Tasha suspects that Jill has been framed and
somebody else killed Trista. Head to the Grand Hall afterward, Elza will speak
with Quark, the two of them will have a small disagreement. Quark tells Elza
to go to the Tavern and talk to the others.
It is sometime in the evening now, so night events are still accessible.
At the Tavern, speak with Seiren and Jackal. Speak to them again to head to
the Arena, for Season Two. As usual he will be joined by the pair.
After clearing the Arena, Elza and co. will complain about the match. Talk to
Seiren again for another scene, then she'll leave with Jackal.
Head back to the Castle, some knights will ask you to go to the Lookout point,
but don't go with them yet, and find Manamia in the Castle Library. Talk to
her (this is the only other scene where she'll be wearing glasses!)
Go to the jail if you want to see Jill freak out.
You'll also see some kind of... thing chained to the center of the prison. The
guard nearby says that its some kind of monster.
Afterward go the Lookout point, talk to the Earl and in Seek mode, look at the
Gurg continent. Another scene will play out. When you're ready, select 'Yes'
(left choice) to move on to Chapter 29, as a CG cut-scene will play out with
the Ruli Knights moving in to invade the Gurg continent.
Chapter 29 - Gurg Castle [CH29]
Elza arrives at the Gurg continent and leads a group of knights on a strike
mission.
He is accompanied by Four Knight Masters and Baron Huge (another knight) You
might recognize him from the beginning of the game. The five of them are
fairly useless. Climb up the stairs for a scene between the knights and Gurg
civilians. Keep moving for another scene of senseless carnage and violence,
where fantastic racism leads to more carnage a violence.
Seiren will show up to accompany you instead of the knights after this scene.
She'll talk about how the knights are being scum, then she'll mention how the
place stinks like eggs. Seiren will mention that apparently somewhere in the
East, there is something called an 'Onsen' where people bathe and it smells
like eggs (hmm...) She does apologize because she remembers that Elza can't
smell anything.
Now that all the Gurg have been 'taken', the knights are busy looting and
pillaging the place. Elza says that they're no different from the robbers who
attacked his village.
IMPORTANT: There are three chests containing three Key Items here. DO NOT PICK
THEM UP. They are needed LATER for a valuable and rare material from a Side-
Quest.
Here are their locations however.
Wander around to the Gurg Iron Pot, Gurg Comb and Gurg Doll while Elza is in
the area. The two southward passages in the area Elza starts on lead to the
pot and comb. Follow Seiren across the Bridge, and head to the passage
directly in front of the bridge. Enter the narrow passage to find the Gurg
Doll.
Head to the left from here to find a Gurg civilian for another cut-scene. Go
back to Seiren's location for yet another scene and flash-back. Follow Seiren
to the main castle area.
Seiren will tell Elza that knights are still scum and that she wants to finish
this job so she can take a bath with Manamia.
The Knight Masters and Baron Huge rejoin you. Head to the lift for another
cut-scene. Go up into the lift and open the door. (Seiren will bitch about how
annoying Baron Huge is, she has a point though, the guy IS really annoying).
Enter the throne room for another cut-scene.
After this scene, Tasha joins up with Elza and Seiren. Speak with Seiren, the
two pair of knights in the corners and Tasha. Tasha will comment about how
corrupt the knights are being now, and how things would have been different if
Master Trista was still alive. As this occurs, Elza is ordered to check out
the area behind the large door for remaining Gurg survivors. As you approach,
there is a Gurg child there. Chase after him (don't bother attacking him as he
is invincible). Elza will approach the child and get shot in the face with a
slingshot for his trouble. Continue to chase after the kid and find other
survivors. There is another cut-scene after this. Leave the area and head back
to the throne room. They hear horrified screaming and the sound of battle.
Elza and company find three knights remaining and two ogres. Take out the
ogres and don't expect much help from the knights as Baron Huge is too busy
freaking out. Before the battle starts, Elza and Seiren look blankly at the
scene before their eyes, until Huge prostrates himself and begs for help.
Once the ogres have been defeated (one of them falls on Huge). There is a
short scene with Seiren and the Baron, with her telling him off.
Elza will talk to Tasha as they leave, leading to a cut-scene.
Move on to Chapter 30.
Chapter 30 - Ruli Castle: Grand Hall [CH30]
The chapter starts with a cut-scene in the castle, with the knights returning
with the treasure they 'won' from the Gurg. The Earl praises Elza and his
efforts, but he gets disillusioned and leaves. Afterward Elza will be on the
East bridge in the city, Quark shows up to chat with him. Notice that as Elza
travels through the city, people start referring to him as 'Kishi-sama/Sir
Knight' instead of 'Hey you' if he bumps into them. They'll even bow in
apology if YOU bump into them. At this point Elza is un-officially a Knight in
the service of Ruli Castle. Head back to Ariel's Tavern and chat with Elza's
friends. Afterward go back to the Castle.
A bit of story narrative and a cut-scene with Elza at the balcony. Elza will
hear something or someone singing. Inside the ballroom, Seek the doorway
upstairs and go to the living area. Move past Kanan's bedroom and Seek the
door back to the main castle area, and enter.
Elza will notice that no one else can hear the song but him. Head to the
second floor. Seek the door to the Courtyard and move on. While in the
Courtyard, Seek again to the hidden underground lift. Take the lift to the
Underground Depths.
In the Depths, open the doorway to the right. Elza will be in the ruins, and
as he travels further in, he will run into Kanan. Examine the wall with the
hole in it. Elza will kick it open (much to Kanan's surprise). Examine the
stone tablet behind the wall for the next scene. The doorway opens and Tasha
ends up tagging along with them. Head toward the light to go to Chapter 31.
Chapter 31 - The Arganan's Secret [CH31]
Elza, Kanan and Tasha find themselves in another warped world. Travel down the
spiraling staircase. When the party reaches a dead-end they will be attacked
by a Tracer. The party has no normal means to attack these, so have Elza use
Gathering, then Gathering Burst to slow them down so that Tasha can help Elza
eliminate the floating orb. After defeating it, the pathway is opened.
Continue down the stairs until the party reaches another dead end. Five more
Tracers will attack this time. Continue until the party reaches the bottom of
the staircase and finds a gate. They will be attacked by Tracers again, except
there seem to be a countless number of them. Defeat enough of them in order to
move on through the gate. Tasha leaves the party to hold off the Tracers.
Inside the gate, a cut-scene plays out. Elza and Kanan find themselves in a
mysterious space that warps time and space. The two of them meet the Ancient
Witch who tells them the truth about the Stranger and Elza's powers. The two
of them leave and reunite with Tasha. Prepare to climb back up the stairs
again to return back to the normal world.
Elza will be back in his bedroom, and the entire castle is bustling with
activity, in preparation for Elza's knighting ceremony and wedding to Kanan.
Leave the living area and head back to the main castle.
Talk to Elza's friends who are hanging around the area. Manamia and Jackal are
on the main floor. Yuris is in the Courtyard. Seiren and Quark are still in
Ariel's Tavern.
Gurg Castle is accessible, speak to the knight hanging around the entrance to
go back to Ruli Island. He will mention that there's a magazine he wants to
read. Return to Ruli Island and go to the East gate and speak to the girl in
blue. She'll give you a magazine. Go back to the castle and give the magazine
to the knight. He'll give you a letter to give back to the girl. She will in
turn give Elza a Dragon Fang.
Note: Beware that from this point on, now is the only time Elza can choose to
return to Ruli City to do any side-quests or extra battles. There is no
turning back from here on until the Epilogue chapter.
Once you are ready, return to the Castle, and when the Knights inform Elza
that preparations for the ceremony are ready choose 'I understand' (left
option) to move on to Chapter 32.
Chapter 32 - Ruli Castle: Earl Arganan's Chamber [CH32]
The game moves on to Elza's knight ceremony.
Immediately the scene starts, with Elza talking to Tasha, look down at the
sword he gives you. Then when the option to swear loyalty to Earl Arganan
comes up, choose the Left one 'No'. Choosing the right option just leads to
Elza staying at a deadlock with himself. This leads to Elza leaving the office,
refusing to be knighted. Tasha will keep the others from chasing him. Elza now
must go and find Kanan. So head towards the living area and go to Kanan's room.
On the way there, Elza will be stopped for a moment by Quark, who threatens
Elza with force.
Upon reaching the living area, the rest of the party is hanging around in the
hallway. A long scene occurs with Elza telling Kanan to run away with him, but
the Earl interrupts. Kanan slaps her uncle in the face. Elza and Kanan run
away, while the remaining four party members hold off the knights. (For some
reason everyone else thinks that the two of you got married and are
congratulating you like total idiots). Elza says to Kanan that they need to
destroy the Magic Cannon's control panel to end this war.
Run back to the Castle and head for the Courtyard, then the Military building.
From there take the lift to the Castle's Control Room. You will be
automatically taken there, and another cut-scene starts once Elza examines the
control mechanism. He is about to smash it until the island is rocked by an
explosion, stopping him.
The Gurg are now attacking Ruli Island and all hell has broke loose as THEIR
Island has started to move toward Ruli Island. The game immediately progresses
to Chapter 33.
Chapter 33 - Ruli Castle: Grand Hall [CH33]
The remaining party (Jackal, Seiren, Yuris and Manamia) is standing around the
Grand Hall, discussing the current affairs, and the Earl comes to speak with
them. The Earl needs to party to escort him back to the Control room so that
Ruli Island can fight back. Because Elza isn't present, you take control of
Jackal, who plays differently from Elza. Jackal will also level up to match
Elza's level. The Earl will join the party for now.
Jackal's Controls:
Hold A to charge Ice magic, Ice magic can be released any time during the
Countdown, but letting it hit 0 will cause it to do more damage.
The Skill gauge is expended whenever Jackal casts spells, and he cannot use
Command Mode. Equip Jackal with a weapon that improves his Magic Attack before
moving on.
Head for the Courtyard, where the party will have to fight off some Gurg
troops. Tasha will show up as well. A scene where a Gargoyle drops an Ogre
cage occurs, and more Ogres come to attack the party. Watch out for the Gurg
Archers atop the arch. Use Jackal's ice magic to drop them. Tasha will leave
the party, so head toward the Military building. Another scene occurs with the
Gurg infiltrating the Castle Prison and unleashing something nasty from its
prison.
Inside the Military building, Lizards and Spiders will attack the party.
Jackal can shoot Ice at one of the supports to drop it on the enemies for
heavy damage. Defeat any stragglers and move on to the lift.
Elza and Kanan will be reunited with the rest of the party, and you regain
control of him. Defeat the incoming Gurg soldiers and protect the Earl. Once
the fight is over, a scene occurs, with the Earl ordering the Stranger to fire
on the Gurg. The cannon however refuses to work as something is stopping it.
The party has to go remove the seal on it. Enemies arrive as the party goes to
deal with whatever it is down there. Jackal and Yuris stay behind to deal with
them.
Move on to Chapter 34.
Chapter 34 - Turret Basement [CH34]
The chapter starts with the party standing in a massive staircase. Before
climbing down however, turn back and search the area for a treasure chest,
inside is a Royal Ring.
Now the current enemies have a new status boost associated to them; 'Nitro',
making them stronger than the usual ones. Defeat the first group and move on.
There is a chest on the left side near the railing so don't climb down the
stairs yet.
More Nitro powered lizards will attack the party here. Because of their super
powers, they can extend the area of effect of their damage circles, so be sure
to stay in Manamia or Kanan's Heal Circles. Defeat the Lizard Mages and
Healers to get rid of the Damage Circles. Open the next door and move on.
When Seek comes up, look for the sparking connector. Shooting the Sparking
connectors will cause anything close to it to have the Kura-kura (dizzy)
status (including your party members, so DON'T shoot it point blank).
There are more Nitro powered Lizards here. Attack the Mages with Elza's bowgun
to prevent them from casting any harmful magic. Move to the next area, open
the chest at the bottom of the staircase, then go through the door.
There is a possibility that you will find the Sanctuary Sword while wandering
through here.
From the doorway, go straight first to find a chest. Then head to the right to
find more Lizards, Seiren and Manamia leave the party to deal with them.
Elza will run into Zola who's sitting in a corner, it looks like someone
managed to escape from prison during the chaos. Zola will Upgrade equipment or
sell weaponry to the party. His stock is fairly normal. Ditch Zola and move to
the next room. The nasty creature that broke free from the jail is waiting
here.
Boss: Berith
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Notice that Berith has two meters: a Health meter, and a Shield Meter. In
order to damage Berith, the shield has to be broken first. Be sure to protect
the Earl, as he will not help in this battle, but if he dies it's game over.
Stay close to Berith and hit it until the shield breaks. Use Kanan's magic
circles to deal more damage to it. Dodge the arrows it fires, as they will
stay stuck in the character they hit, then explode for more damage.
If you don't like getting up close and personal, using the Fast Bow is a fairly
effective way of breaking Berith's shield.
After hitting it for a while, it will regenerate its shield, so repeat the
process again until Berith is low on health. By this point the other four
party members make their return, so the fight will be easier now. Killing
Berith will earn the party a Chaos Blade.
The party can either head through the door the others came from, or continue
on through the massive gate. Going through the door to the left earns you
three treasure chests. If needed, turn back and find Zola to upgrade any new
gear you may have picked up. Like that Chaos Blade for instance. Once fully
upgraded, it'll become the Stranger, one of the stronger weapons you'll have
for a while.
Go through the large door, and inside the room, there is a gate to another
dimension and a save point.
Save if needed, then go through the gate.
A scene plays out with the Earl summoning the Stranger from its pit in the
room, then have Elza move towards the Earl, to start a longer cut-scene. The
Stranger appears and the Earl starts slashing at it with his sword, demanding
it to become enraged. This sudden attack causes it to sink again. A strange
force picks him up then, then proceeds to mess up the entire room and awaken
the Guardian dragon, Mitra.
Boss: Mitra
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
As your party starts to attack the beast with magic, Jackal will immediately
point out something to you. Namely the Earl and his now decreasing health bar.
Attacking Mitra will cause it to harm Earl Arganan, so that's bad. And notably,
Mitra has MUCH more health compared to the Earl. In order to defeat Mitra, use
Manamia's Plant magic on it, then use Wind to spread the Silence effect (you
will know when Mitra is silenced by the giant bubble on its head). This will
cause Mitra to crash land onto the ground, allowing the party to harm it and
not the Earl.
Watch out for the projectiles it spits out, as they can instantly take out a
party member. If you have good timing, Elza can use Gathering to draw the
beast's attention, the Counter the projectiles, sending them flying back at
Mitra and flooring the beast.
Once Mitra has crashed onto the ground, start beating on it, but beware that
it will thrash around and hurt those around it.
After a certain point, Mitra will start shooting a more dangerous laser beam,
so be prepared to avoid that. Your overall strategy should remain the same, by
drawing its attention and sending the beam back at it by countering.
Once you've drained the beasts life to a certain point, it stops attacking
and the fight will be over.
'Defeating' Mitra will free the Earl and control of the Stranger is returned
to the Arganan family, allowing the Castle's magic cannon to be fired. A cut-
scene occurs, showing the two islands at war, with Ruli Island successfully
getting a shot in. The Earl himself starts going completely nuts as the
Stranger absorbs him. Ruli Island's cannon fails and Gurg Island starts to
retaliate, blasting Ruli Castle and crashing into it.
The game moves on to Chapter 35.
Chapter 35 - Port Lapis [CH35]
As the party makes their way out of Ruli Castle's basement, they realize that
Ruli Island is now being invaded by the Gurg, while Tasha and the remaining
Ruli Knights are trying to hold them off, with little success. The party
arrives back in the city, which is now in ruins.
Elza is joined by Seiren, Yuris and Manamia. Jackal and Kanan will not be
participating in this battle.
Some Gurg troops start to attack the party, including some hiding on the
rooftops sniping at them. Once defeated, follow the ship that just left the
port. A group of knights will run past Elza and company.
Elza will yell at the escaping Ruli Knights. However one of them, encouraged
by Elza's bravery remains and starts shooting at one of the Gargoyles. This
shows Elza how to defeat the flying Gargoyles; with Burst Arrows. The Gargoyle
returns fire with Orange Cannon shells, and they take out the knight.
Don't let the knight's sacrifice be in vain.
Elza must shoot down 3 Gargoyles with Burst Arrows in order to proceed. This
should be fairly easy as the Gargoyles are not by any means speedy creatures,
and they're also very LARGE targets. Dropping a Gargoyle earns massive amounts
of XP. You can make short work of them with the Fast Bow if you have it.
Near the back of Port Lapis (where the buildings are) are two chests. A save
point is nearby as well.
Moving further along the port, another Muruu appears to harass the party
Boss: Darkmuruu
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Same as its predecessor, but stronger and nastier. Because Kanan isn't here,
the Deflector spell strategy won't work, so be prepared to be paralyzed during
the fight. Darkmuruu can also cast damage circles, and during its needle
shooting attack, it can possess one of your allies, making them attack you.
Strategies for defeating Darkmuruu remain the same however, so take it down.
When finally downed, it will drop the General Sword.
Elza will spot Tasha and the Knights on the dock. The party must head over to
help him. The gate to where Tasha is has rusted over, so have Yuris blow it up
while holding off Gurg soldiers.
Elza will reach Tasha during a cut-scene, as he dashes into the fray. Help him
defeat the incoming Gurg coming from the ships.
One of the Gurg may drop ? Sword (Kasen) in this area.
After defeating these Gurg, Elza will help Tasha to his feet, but is thrown
out of the way as Tasha catches a sword to the leg. He gives Elza Key Item:
Key to the Underground Sewer. The remaining knights will take care of Tasha as
he tells you to find the others.
Head for the Underground Sewer, but before that open the two chests next to
the entrance.
Inside the party is reunited with Kanan, Jackal and other townsfolk. While
underground, talk to everybody before proceeding.
Upgrading: Speak to Lotta
Armor: Ariel's Father, Kensu
Salamander Bone x1: Little boy next to Manamia
Upgrades/Arrows: Zola
Weapons/Identifying: Merchant from the Tavern
Light of the Stranger x1: Wack
Common Materials: Ariel
Once all preparations are ready, talk to Kanan twice. A conversation between
the entire party begins.
As Elza opens the door, Lotta asks him to wait. He hands over the Key Item:
Summoning Stone. This allows the party to summon Lotta in certain Summon
circles to Upgrade equipment and so on. Head out the door and down the stairs
to go to Chapter 36.
Chapter 36 - Groundwater Tunnel [CH36]
Once the party enters the tunnel, both Seiren and Jackal will complain that it
stinks. Considering its a sewer, that's not too surprising. Elza as usual will
fail to notice the smell. Seiren says that Elza is lucky.
Head straight then left. Keep moving forward to grab the chest, you will
notice a Coconut crab in the left passage. Attack it, but note that it will
heal itself (very quickly) as long as it's in the water, but isn't resistant
to Jackal's ice magic. Its attacks can also paralyze you so be careful.
Use Gathering to lure it to dry land in order to kill it.
Go down the passage where the crab was to find two chests and an enemy
Summon Circle.
Head further down the dry passage to fight another Coconut crab, half way
during the fight another one will join in. Same rules apply here. Don't let
them hang out in the water. Their rate of recovery is much greater than the
party's overall damage output.
There are two holes in the wall in this passage. The one on the right leads to
a Save Point, a Summon Circle (For Lotta) and two chests, containing Silver
Arrows and Gnome's Gold Ore.
Odd, why would there be Silver Arrows here of all places? Move on to the Left
hole to continue on and climb down the ladder.
Manamia will comment that the party is getting closer to the outside as the
sound of the wind has changed here.
Head straight, then turn left. There is a save point to the right, then climb
up the stairs to go outside. More Coconut crabs will attack the party. Lure
them to dry land in order to kill them. If the crabs won't leave the water,
push them up the stairs by attacking them repeatedly.
During the fight Manamia says that her favorite food is seafood. The others
said that she's never mentioned it.
Once all the crabs are dead, search the area for treasure chests (there are
four of them), then head through the door on the right. Go down the stairs and
to the right, then right again for two more chests. Going to the left will
lead back to where you started, as the pathway is a square. Going straight
will lead back to where the party came from (or so Seiren thinks). Elza pays
it no mind. Make another lap around to the outside again, leading a scene
where the party says that they are indeed walking in circles. Suddenly when
they make it outside, Nebirous appears. (What the hell?)
Boss: Nebirous
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
If you fought him in the Haunted Mansion, the same methods to defeating him
apply, he still summons reinforcements if he runs away inside the sewer. The
Silver arrows you found earlier will make this fight a breeze, so shoot away
while the party beats on him. If you run out, attack his helpers to make them
drop more.
Nebirous drops a Dragon Fang after you kill him. Afterward another gate opens
and a short scene with the party occurs, so head through the gate (because the
arrows says so).
In the next area, go straight and the water starts to get deeper. Start
swimming to the left and head for the area with the save point. Seiren will
whine about the water being dirty and stinky and that no one will marry her.
Jackal offers to marry her as his 42nd wife and that makes her get mad at him.
There will be a bridge and another scene with the party stopping in front of
it. Elza will go scout it out as the others hide. Immediately look up as a
giant spider tries to eat Elza's face. Failure to do so will end poorly for
him.
Note: If you have the cut-scene camera enabled, moving it upward gives you a
hint that the spider is actually there.
Boss: Monstrous Spider
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Like other spiders, this thing will always auto-guard from the front, so
attack it from the rear. The Knight sword will make this fight more bearable
as it is strong against spiders. If you have a Grand Swell sword, that will
automatically Guard Break the spider's defence. Have Yuris cast fire spells on
the spider, then use Wind to Guard Break it.
The spider as it moves around will destroy the area, so beware of falling
debris. The spider can also cause Silence and Paralyze status effects as it
dashes around.
Half-way through the fight, the party will be interrupted by Gurg forces who
will join in on the fun, so take out both the spider and the Gurg troops.
The Spider will also attack the Gurg, so Seiren and Jackal suggest to Elza
that they should sneak out while the Spider is occupied with the Gurg. You are
free to either kill everything, or if things look dicey, run away through the
hole the Gurg provided for you.
If you do kill the Spider, this gets rid of the Gurg as well and earns the
party a General Sword +2.
There is a save point as well as a Summon Circle to call Lotta here.
Head into the battering ram thing the Gurg troops used to break into the area
to go to Chapter 37.
Chapter 37 - Fortress Island [CH37]
The party has now entered the Gurg Fortress, the heart of the enemy. Head
straight and where the road forks, there is a guard to the right. Once he
spots Elza, he will put up a barrier that can only be broken by magic. This is
a new kind of enemy, referred to as a 'Field'. Have the spell casters attack
the shield, then have Elza shoot down the mage with his bowgun. Head back to
the left fork to find two chests. Then back to the right to get another chest.
This area has a Save point and Summon Circle. Press onward down the next
passage.
This next area has numerous Ogres and some guards. The party tells Elza to
sneak past without alerting the guards, so hide behind the pillars and move to
the exit on the Left. If you screw up you can just kill the guards and ogres
instead.
If Elza makes it across undetected, wait for the guard to turn around to call
the rest of the party over (this is somewhat reminiscent of Final Fantasy 7).
Wait for each guard to turn his back on the party in before calling them over.
You will do this three times.
If the party gets detected, they're in for a fight with Gurg Elite and Ogres.
So really, it's up to you if you want to fight, or if you want to be sneaky.
It doesn't really matter what you do, just as long as you progress.
As the party heads down the ladder, they ARE detected anyway, so they will
have to fight off a group of Gurg Elite and Ogres. See? It doesn't matter.
Have one of the spell casters destroy the bridge, then when this first group </pre><pre id="faqspan-5">
of enemies is dead, another group comes down from the lift. Head into the lift
after defeating the remaining enemies.
From this point on, a lot of the enemies have the Nitro status.
The party reaches a bridge and yet another fight. There are two Fields this
time. Elza can climb a ladder to the right to go around and pincer attack the
foes.
After the first group is dead, another group drops down to the higher ground.
Elza can climb up there to fight them while the party supports him from the
lower area. Take the lift to the next area once these Gurg are dead.
To the left of the lift there are two chests. Head towards the large door to
an even larger room with six intersecting bridges. Once inside there is
another scene as they go on, and yet another fight. There is another one of
the Gurg Fields, mages and other nasty dudes. As the party makes it to the
center intersection of the room, they get split up again by falling rocks.
Elza is now with Kanan only, so head for the door. The next room has two
chests in it, open those then take the lift to the next area.
Now on the 9th floor, what the hell are those things to the right? Coffins,
but before dealing with them, open the chest near the door, then open the
left door to find Jackal sprawled on the ground. Move over to him to have him
rejoin the party. Then go and approach the coffins. Once Elza moves past them,
they start to move and attack the party. Take down the Gold Coffins. After
hitting one of them, a short scene with Seiren occurs. She's freaking out
because the lift she's in it closed and she can't get out. Help her out of the
lift by pulling on the maces jamming the gate. Seiren will join in on the fight
as well. Head toward the open door and up the stairs.
The next room has numerous stairs cases and lots of Gurg troops stationed
around it. More of the Gurg Fields are here as well. Midway in the fight,
Manamia and Yuris reunite with the party and join in. Defeat both Gurg Fields,
then run up the stairs to clear out the rest of the enemies.
Once defeated, before heading straight through on the second level, head to
the third floor and there will be a doorway on the right side of the room.
This room has an enemy Summon Circle, so use it if necessary. It will summon a
group of Nitro Gurg. This is a good place to level up any characters that
haven't been used for a while.
When you're done with this area, head through the door on the second floor. Go
down the passage and to the left is a room with the lift. There are three
chests, a save point and a summon circle for Lotta.
If you Summon Lotta here, he nearly chokes to death as he was eating some mochi
before you called him.
Head up the lift to the 24th floor. Open the door to the next room. It is
another one of those rooms with the 6 intersecting paths. Once the party
reaches the center, they are stopped by Zefa and Zesha.
Boss: Zefa & Zesha
Zefa
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Zesha
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
The twins are tough. Zefa will put up a physically impenetrable barrier while
Zesha attacks the party from behind it.
In order to break the barrier, cast magic which matches its color. So when it
is green, use Forest; blue, use Ice; red, use Fire, yellow, use Shining; etc.
Using the wrong kind of magic will have the spell reflected back on the party
however. And this will happen, a lot.
The twins will heal their injuries so continue to attack them. To win this
battle, defeat Zefa as he is an easier target. When the team breaks a barrier,
both twins will leap up into the air and slam down their swords, so get out of
the way.
Once Zefa's life has been drained the battle ends and a cut-scene occurs with
the twins retreating for the time being.
The party receives a Salamander's Bone and Gurg Stardust from this battle.
They learn that Zangurg is trying to take Ruli Castle's half of the Stranger,
however they must press on and destroy the half being kept on Gurg island.
Head towards the set of double stairs, and find a Red warp gate similar to the
one in Ruli Castle. Enter the gate to another dimension.
In the warp they find the Gurg half of the Stranger. However the Gurg piece
of the Stranger seems strange. It emits much rage in comparison to the calm
sadness of the piece on Ruli Island. As they approach it, the party is then
attacked by Atar, who takes both Elza and Kanan to the top of the fortress,
leaving the others to give chase.
Boss: Atar
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
This fight is similar to the fight against Mitra, except that the other party
members aren't there to help (yet). Focus on trying to stay alive until they
arrive. Because Manamia isn't there, Atar can't be immediately silenced and
therefore can't be grounded for now.
Stay away from the damage circles Atar drops and dodge it's fireball and beam
attacks. It will also start dropping lightning around the entire battlefield.
If you're feeling confident with your Countering skills, use Gathering and
deflect the projectiles back at the dragon. These can silence him so the fight
may have gotten easier (slightly anyway).
The other members will finally show up, Jackal being somewhat exhausted after
running up all those stairs. Manamia proceeds in saying something out of
character, shocking the others into an awkward silence.
Immediately have Manamia cast Forest, then use Wind to drop
Atar on the ground. From there you can proceed in attacking it like you did
Mitra. This strategy is still the same. However because it flies around (and
is stronger than Mitra) it is a difficult target to deal with.
Partway into the fight...
Kanan will mention that if she uses her Tension Arte, she can summon Mitra to
help. Elza can command her to do this whenever, but wait for a second chance
to drop Atar to the ground first before summoning Mitra. The Countdown for
Kanan's ability becomes 10 (instead of instantaneous) however, so you must
protect her while she summons Mitra. Once she does it successfully, Mitra
appears and a battle between the two dragons occurs, with Mitra blasting
Atar's wings to pieces. Now that it can't fly around, the party is able to
beat on it until it dies.
However even though it can't fly now, Atar becomes more aggressive and attacks
at a quicker rate, dropping lightning and fire everywhere.
Once Atar's health has ran out, Elza must deal the final blow, knocking it up
into the air and sending it crashing back down into the fortress.
Note: It is possible (albeit very difficult) to drain all of Atar's HP before
even summoning Mitra. This changes the scene ever so slightly.
A scene occurs in Ruli Castle, with Jill using the chaos to break free from
prison and swearing revenge on Elza. He meets up with Zangurg who is amused by
the noble's plight and offers him a medium for his revenge. Then the fortress
begins to collapse, separating the party yet again.
Move on to Chapter 38.
Chapter 38 - Furious Ocean [CH38]
Elza and Kanan fall out of the fortress and into the water.
As Elza, swim around aimlessly for a while.
Eventually a scene occurs and Elza goes into first-person mode. Swim around
some more. Another scene as Elza starts to get swallowed up by the waves.
Swim some more, and a ship should appear. In Seek mode, look at the ship (the
cursor should turn red). Elza will get dragged aboard the ship.
When Elza finally comes to, look to the left at Jill. The guy has finally gone
completely insane, and is out for you blood. He even handed over Kanan to the
Gurg, that bastard. Prepare for a fight.
As the game starts to play Invitation to Madness, get ready to kick Jill's ass
and get your revenge on HIM (finally)!
Boss: Jill
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Compared to the previous bosses, this one shouldn't be too bad. Jill is just
human after all. Kind of. Sort of. I don't know anymore.
Dodge his jumping attack, and then hide behind one of the railings to Slash at
him. Use Counter if possible to deal heavy damage to him. Attack him a few
more times until he is knocked to the ground. A Quick-time scene plays, the
sequence is Up-Down-Up. If successful, Elza will end up behind Jill. If failed,
the sequence will be Up-Down-Left to dodge Jill's attack.
If Jill stabs Elza, shake the stick back and forth to break free, because Jill
will drain Elza's HP. Take advantage of the times when Jill starts laughing
psychotically to beat on him. He won't fight back.
Continue to counter his attacks. Jill telegraphs them quite obviously, so take
advantage of this.
Once Jill has taken enough damage, the Quick-time event changes. Press Up to
dodge the attack, then Left and A to attack Jill. When Jill's health has
reached to the point he only needs one more hit to kill, Elza will
automatically kill him in a cut-scene (then Jill's own sword impales him).
Jill mutters that he only wanted to be happy before he explodes in a cloud of
Blue rose petals.
Elza will receive the Emperor (cursed) Sword after this battle.
Warning: This sword is for the foolish or the brave. It will set your total
Life count to 1, so if you die while using it, you're done.
Now that Jill is dead, all the Gurg on board abandon ship.
The rest of the party reunites with Elza on board their ship, and start to
head back to Ruli Island.
Move on to Chapter 39.
Chapter 39 - Lizard's Cave, Revisit [CH39]
The party's return to Ruli Island is guided by the Forest Beast, which turns
out to be the Divine Guardian Beast of Ruli Island. Note the + shaped mark on
its forehead and how that is similiar to the mark on Elza's right hand.
The party finds themselves back where all their troubles originally started.
Seek the burning ships for a bit of commentary about what the party thinks is
going on right now.
There is a chest along the corner of the area near the water, as well as three
hidden behind a fallen column of rock. Head up the stairs to find a save point,
and carry on, check the wall to get to the next area, there is a passage to
the right with a chest. Follow after your party. Continue on through the cave.
Another chest will be in a small alcove to the right.
Move on until the party sees some Gurg forces hanging around a larger cave. A
Gurg Field is there, so take them him out with magic and arrows.
Be careful in this area, as the Gurg are using landmines. After you defeat a
few of them, the Gurg run off and set off some explosives, blocking off your
path back to the ruins. Seek mode will come up, so inspect a walled area to
the right of the sealed entrance. Elza will check the wall to find another
entrance. Go through the small hall, and check the wall to go to another large
cavern. There are more Gurg here.
If the party takes a left and into a cave, there is a chest there.
Before the battle starts, shoot down one of the Gurg mages standing on a
perilous outcropping to start the battle (and get rid of one mage). In the
central area where the Gurg troops are stationed, there are floating mines
that will blow up paralyze whoever gets close to them, so beware. Elza can
destroy them from a distance with his bowgun.
Move on once all the Gurg have been defeated, and go through the long rock
hallway back to the Castle Ruins.
There is a scene with Zangurg and Kanan. Zangurg opens the sealed gate using
Kanan (freaky).
The party arrives in a room with a Enemy Summon Circle, Lotta's Summon Circle
and a save point. This place should look somewhat familiar.
There are two chests in the corner, right of the stage like area. Continue
down the hall and open the door. As the gate comes within sight, there is a
strange black thing sitting on the ground. It warps the party to another
dimension. The party is confused and wondered how that happened, so Seiren
puts two and two together and takes a swing at the thing, but it retaliates by
sending her screaming across the room and into a pillar.
Boss: Last Cocoon
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Do NOT approach the Cocoon, it will simply pick up your party members and
throw them around like rag dolls, like it demonstrated on Seiren earlier.
You will also notice that its health bar is empty, and slowly fills up for
some reason. Stay back as the cocoon starts draining the party's life, so stay
parked on top of Manamia's healing circles while this is happening. Once its
health is full, it gets huger, then another scene occurs with everyone getting
sent somewhere (again).
Elza is taken back to the past, during the time when bandits attacked his
village. A Bandit appears, so take him down, and it turns out to be Jackal,
except Elza doesn't realize this. What's going on? The next bandit appears but
it's actually Seiren. Take her out too. Elza cuts down Seiren. The third one to
go is Manamia. Elza starts to freak out and goes back to reality, but in a
more white-lit dimension.
Yuris is the only one left, but he's also gone insane and is Nitro powered.
Knock him out too, then another scene occurs with Elza freaking out, realizing
he just killed all his friends. Or so he thinks when they help him come to his
senses.
The monster finally takes on its true form, and it is somewhat similar to the
first boss, but more feral in appearance, standing on all fours.
Boss: Last Cocoon (true form)
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Now that the boss has stopped screwing around with the party's memories,
prepare to beat it down. Except for one minor problem, it will dodge your
attacks. Very quickly, much like Marbas.
However, the time to attack it is when it climbs up one of the pillars. Either
use Counter to deflect the projectiles it throws back at it, or have the magic
users bombard the pillar with magic. Once it falls, run up to Last Cocoon and
slice away.
Once it reaches 50% health, Last Cocoon transforms into something more like
the first Cocoon, then the party returns to the dimension where Cocoon sent
them first. It also heals it health back to full (dammit).
Cocoon will attack by body slamming areas where the party is, or by throwing
swords of light. If the sword hits its target, it will then bring down
lightning and deal heavy damage to them. You can likely deflect these using
Counter.
In the room with many pillars, you will notice a large sword suspended above
the altar where the Cocoon was originally. Lead the boss to the altar and then
drop the sword on him by shooting it with Burst arrows once the boss is
standing directly under it. Once the sword falls, it will pin the boss to the
Altar, but it won't kill it. The fact that the boss is impaled with a giant
sword and STILL isn't dead makes the party comment on its ridiculous toughness.
Run up to Cocoon and press A to 'Ride' it. Elza will jump up Cocoon's body and
stab it in the face, dealing 99999 damage each time, and the boss cannot
retaliate in any way as you stab the living crap out of it.
If you FAIL to drop the sword on Cocoon... well... have fun killing it the
hard way, by cutting at its feet. The party will then comment on how stupid
Elza (and by extension, you the player) is.
Killing the Last Cocoon earns you the Nightmare sword.
Head into the gate to follow Zangurg to Chapter 40.
Chapter 40 - The Last World [CH40]
This is a REALLY long chapter. But things start off with a bang, as the first
thing that happens right after that last boss fight... is ANOTHER BOSS FIGHT.
Boss: Berith x 3
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Remember this punk? He's back but he has two friends with him now. Two of them
are fake, only the real one will take damage (as shown by its life meter). The
fake ones when attacked with self-destruct. Berith will attack by either
swinging its arms like swords, or fire red light arrows, which will call down
lightning on whomever is impaled by them, much like how it fought before.
You still have to break its shield first before you can actually damage it.
Defeating Berith will earn the Witchcraft Dagger. This dagger is especially
useful for spell casters, as it increases spell casting speed by 20% once
fully upgraded.
A scene plays out, with the party deciding how they're going to chase after
Zangurg. There are three doors and only five of them. The party will now split
up. Elza and Manamia, Seiren and Jackal, and Yuris by himself head for
separate doors to find Zangurg and Kanan.
Play will switch between Elza, Yuris and Seiren throughout this area now.
Seiren and Jackal are immediately thrown into a fight with a number of Gurg
troops.
With Seiren, simply attack, attack, and attack. She can also perform the Dunk
Slash if she runs up a wall.
After a brief conversation between Seiren and Jackal, the game switches to
Yuris, fighting on a magical lift.
Yuris plays similarly to Jackal. Press and hold A to charge and use magic. The
golems he fights against are easy targets, simply swat them with his sword, or
shoot a quick fireball at them. Defeat the golems to make the lift move on.
After three waves of golems, play returns to Seiren and Jackal.
After clearing out the Gurg, large Golems have now arrived. Defeat the Golems,
and then reboot them by examining the fallen remains. They will help the party
clear out the incoming Gurg. The wall opens up as the Gurg run away.
Back to Yuris again. Take out the golems with fireballs and sword strikes.
There is a short scene with Yuris examining his father's knife and speaking
with his father's spirit.
Then a short scene with Jackal and Seiren, fighting off Laser Tracers. The two
of them have no means to fight the Tracers, so they have to retreat. Run away
from the center of the room and towards the wall that just opened. The two of
them will arrive at a very high bridge with a save point. Continue on. The
second set of supports has a chest hiding behind it, containing 3 Dragon Hides.
The two of them arrive at a dead-end.
Then a rather funny cut-scene plays out, as Jackal kicks the wall and in return
is nailed in the groin. Seiren laughs at him and she gets punched in the head
by the wall as well.
Game play finally returns to Elza and Manamia. Moving forward starts a cut-
scene with one of the twins, Zefa. However he still is injured from his last
battle with the party, but continues to fight.
Boss: Zefa
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
This fight is the same as the first time you fought him, except his brother
isn't around to help. He does however have numerous Gurg warriors coming in to
back him up. Break his barriers and attack him throughout the battle.
Zefa will however cast a very wide-ranged damage circle, so stay near
Manamia's healing circles to avoid dying. He will eventually put up a round
magic barrier, much like the square one in the Gurg Fortress. Have Manamia
cast Forest to break it. Unfortunately he then puts up a barrier that Manamia
can't break. Manamia says that she can sense Yuris coming this way. Hold out
long enough until he arrives.
Once Yuris arrives, he can break the red barrier with his fire magic. Also
since Yuris is present, cast Reverse to get rid of the damage circles and make
them into friendly healing circles.
Repeat this until Zefa is dead, and a cut-scene plays out with Yuris finishing
him off with a fake-out and a knife to the chest.
The party receives the North and South Wing Swords.
A scene occurs with Zangurg and Zesha (the younger brother), realizing that
Zefa is now dead.
Elza and company catch up and it's time to take down the other twin.
Boss: Zesha
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Zesha is the fighter of the two, and will use Counter to guard and send you
flying. This is a fight the party can't win with only three members, so sneak
around Zesha and attack him from behind. He also warps around, so don't bother
trying to Combo him. Beware his jumping slash as it has an area effect. He can
also throw light swords that paralyze your party.
Eventually Seiren and Jackal catch up, evening the odds. Now it is just a
simple matter of attacking Zesha whenever his guard is down.
Zesha will fall, but the fight isn't over as Gurg soldiers come to attack the
party.
A cut-scene will play as Zesha launches a sword at Seiren, but Jackal pushes
her out of the way and takes it instead. With that, Zesha revives with full
health. Both Seiren and Jackal are now out of the fight. The rest of the party
tells Elza to leave this to them and he must head to where Zangurg and Kanan
are.
Note: It IS possible, but very difficult to defeat Zesha the second time
around. Also because of the nature of this fight, the experience earned from
defeating the (unlimited) Gurg troops here will carry over into the next
battles instead, as the party is NOT awarded experience here. So it is in your
best interest to run away.
If you DO manage to take him down somehow, you get nothing at all out of it.
Other than maybe the satisfaction that you beat him (again).
Head into the inner sanctum of the Last World. There is a summon circle there
that Elza can use to amass that experience he may have earned but didn't
receive in the fight with Zesha. It will drop two large golems for him to
defeat, despite their size they are fairly easy to drop. Deeper in the room is
a door and a save point.
Open the door to find a dimly lit room. Look to Elza's right at the fallen
body. Elza realizes that it's Kanan there. Zangurg shows up and it's time for
a rematch against him.
Boss: Zangurg Round 1
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Attacking Zangurg head on is a poor idea, as he will simply guard, and then
swat Elza away. Keep your distance for the time being. Zangurg can during his
counter attack knock Elza off the platform, so hit A repeatedly to climb back
up.
Wait until Zangurg takes a massive swing, run beside him and hit him to deal
damage.
Zangurg will perform a three-hit combo, so Elza can also interrupt him during
that with his own combo.
Watch out if Zangurg charges as Elza as that will deal heavy damage. Also, if
Zangurg manages to grab Elza with his sword, he will slam him down and do lots
of damage.
Once Zangurg's health hits zero, attack and Elza will finish him with a
critical hit.
Another scene plays as it's time for Round 2 with Zangurg, but this time Kanan
joins in as well.
Boss: Zangurg Round 2
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
For the time being Zangurg has a shield and will Perfect Guard attacks against
him. Elza will comment that he can't break the shield, but he hears Yuris and
the others outside. Run to the blue door to let the rest of the party in.
This time Zangurg has a shield and the only way to deal real damage to him is
to wait for him to throw the Zanlance at Elza, dodge it and pick it up. Use
the Zanlance against Zangurg to break through his defences.
An easier way to make Zangurg drop the lance is to shoot him with Prank
bananas. Finally, a legitimate use for those things!
Once the shield's health is gone, a quick scene plays with Elza slicing it in
two.
Continue to hammer Zangurg with his own weapon.
At this point however, Zangurg will start using his Gathering powers to attack,
as well as punch the ground, creating stalagmites.
In order to receive the Zanlance at the end of the battle, the final blow must
be dealt with the Zanlance. To do this, once Zangurg's health is low enough to
defeat him in one hit, use Kanan's Tension Arte to protect the party, and wait
for Zangurg to toss the lance, then use it on him. A scene will play out,
showing Elza using the Zanlance to slash at Zangurg, finishing him off.
Zangurg has his last words, saying that everybody involved in this incident
were puppets for 'that person', then he rips his own right arm off and dies.
With Zangurg dead, everything should be all right, right? Wrong.
Follow the arm. Head to the staircase for a cut-scene with... Quark (wait
what?). Quark stabs Zangurg's arm and absorbs the power of the Stranger and as
well as the power of the Arganan bloodline. He explains some of his intentions
and tells Elza and the others not to follow him.
Follow Quark upstairs. Turn back only if you wish to use the Summoning Circle
to level up.
There is a save point in the next room.
The party arrives in a dark room, and they speak to Quark. He still tells them
not to follow after him.
Another wall opens, and you see Quark's shadow. Follow him.
They enter a room filled with blocks, and the Ruli Island's half of the
Stranger.
They speak with Quark who finally reveals all of his intentions, and he
destroys much of the area around him. Since he told the party everything, he
can't let them live anymore. Prepare to fight.
This is a three-part battle, so you need to make sure to conserve life and try
not to get KO'd by Quark.
Boss: Quark (human form)
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
This part is fairly simple. Attack Quark until he dies. One of his main
attacks is to grab the closest target next to him and slam them into the
ground, this will do a lot of damage, but can be remedied with healing. As
long as one of the healers are up, this should be easy if the party stands in
the healing circle and attack Quark. Do so in order to build up the TP Gauge
to ready your Tension Artes for the next fight.
Boss: Quark (monster form)
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Now Quark has become a monster with a giant sword. Dodge his attacks and hit
him. Quark can now perform a Guard Break attack which hits the entire party.
He will also fly into the air to unleash a homing fireball spell.
A barrier will appear around Quark, allowing him to Perfect Guard attacks. At
this point, the party has no means to damage him, leading to a cut-scene with
Yuris tearing off his eye-patch and unleashing a sealed power.
Protect Yuris as his Meteor Tension Arte has now becomes Big Bang. Big Bang is
the only way to break through Quark's barrier. Use Gathering to attract
Quark's attention away from Yuris in order to finish the Countdown of 10. If
you mess up, Yuris will yell at Elza telling him to try harder.
Once the countdown is over, Yuris will then drop a massive ball of fire on
Quark, shattering the barrier.
Proceed in beating on Quark as usual. Once Yuris' Tension Gauge is full again,
drop another Big Bang on Quark, however the timer will be 40.
Once Quark's health is <50% he'll start using his sword more often (and say
something to the party, namely that he let his guard down and has to get
serious)
He'll fly up and charge a spell that shoots numerous needles, which will cause
a Death Sentence Countdown. Run to a healing circle to get rid of this. Once
Quark's life has gone to 0, he'll taunt the party and change form again.
Boss: Quark (huge form)
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
This form of Quark deals ridiculous amounts of damage. He ditches the sword,
but all he has to do is slap the party twice and then pick them up (if they're
floored) and slam them into the ground. Shake the control stick to roll away
safely when he slams you. If you fail to roll away, this attack will do 99999
damage regardless of armor/health etc, instantly KOing you.
At this point, have Elza run up the numerous blocks in the area and climb them.
Once Elza gets high enough, he can reach Quark's head and attack him with a
Dunk Slash. Quark will however catch on and destroy the blocks you try to
climb. The blocks will fortunately rebuild themselves after a while.
Quark will shoot a giant laser that has a ridiculous amount of knock back, so
be careful.
Continue to hit Quark's feet to deal damage to him. Once Quark's Health is at
0 again, climb up the blocks to deal the finishing blow to Quark (in a manner
of an awesome cut-scene)!
After a long scene with Quark, prepare to escape the Last World, as the whole
place is collapsing, as Elza had stopped Quark, the one who was keeping the
whole place together in the first place. Quark says his last words to the
party and hands over the sword he wears on his back to Elza. Elza receives the
Traive sword from Quark.
Leave the area where the party fought Quark and Zangurg to go where Jackal is
lying on the ground.
There is a short scene with Jackal, as Seiren says to the others not to wait
up for her as she tries to carry Jackal back to Ruli Island with her. However
before she and the party can continue to argue, Jackal is revived by the
remainder of Quark's spirit and the party continues to escape the Last World.
Pick up the East Wing and West Wing swords here before leaving to the next
area.
Once on the bridge, keep running and don't look back. The place is falling
apart, and taking the scenic route is a BAD idea.
The party makes it the lift, but they're attacked by Golems. Get rid of them.
During this fight, everything looks like complete utter chaos, so be careful.
Once the fight here is finished, the party has made it out safely.
The game moves on to Chapter 41.
Chapter 41 - Stargazing Tower: Day [CH41]
The party will be gathered at the Stargazing Tower. It's time to tie up some
loose ends.
Talk to the other party members, then talk to Kanan.
Elza and Kanan will send the two pieces of the Stranger back into the heavens.
It leaves some of its powers with Elza, in the form of the markings on his
hand as a final gift before it leaves.
Congratulations, you've finished the main story of The Last Story!
However it's not over yet as there are four more chapters to go.
Move on to the Epilogue.
*Epilogue* - The Last Story [EPIL]
Elza will be joined by Kanan in the Grand Hall of Ruli Castle, which is now
undergoing repairs (for the third time, and this time it's not instantaneous).
Even the knights here mention that they’re getting used to the fact the castle
gets destroyed on a regular basis.
There are still two more dungeons to go to before actually finishing the game.
But you must finish Chapter 42 however before you can actually finish the game.
Head out the castle for a cut-scene of happenings around town, where Humans
and Gurg now live together.
Elza and Kanan can roam around Ruli City to find things to do.
Note: Elza can no longer swim in the river if Kanan is accompanying him.
Arena Season 3 is now available, and in the same manner only Seiren and Jackal
will accompany him the first time around.
Manamia is standing in the Central Plaza, she tells Elza to go find Tasha at
the Castle.
Zola is standing in the Craftsman's Alley, he sells Gnome's Copper Ore and
Silver Ore.
The merchant from Ariel's Tavern is there as well, but she no longer sells
anything.
Some of the people involved in side-quests will be gone now. The Old man from
East River will have changed location to the wooden deck near his house.
Speak with certain Gurg citizens to learn that they're missing some of their
things.
Return these items to the following Gurg tribe members throughout Ruli City:
Gurg Pot -> Gurg man in Marche.
Gurg Comb -> Gurg woman in front of Castle Gate Plaza.
Gurg Doll -> Gurg girl in South Gate Plaza.
Completing this will earn the rare material: Gurg Esoteric Writings x3, to
upgrade the Gurg Blade to the Magmajium.
Go to the Tavern Salamander with Kanan for a short conversation with her (only
if you if did the Elza's Groupies sub-quest). Elza will leave Kanan to meet
his groupies (that cheater).
Go back to Ruli Castle for various short scenes at certain locations;
Earl Arganan's Chamber
Yuris is in the Castle Library
The Ballroom balcony
Living Area: Jill's Room
Prison: There is treasure on the second level in a cell.
Turret Control Room
Underground Tombs: Challenge Tasha to a fight. This can be repeated.
Boss: Tasha
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
If you agree to challenge Tasha, he will take Elza up to the Tower of Ordeal
and fight you there.
He fights like Master Trista, so use the same strategies against Tasha.
However Tasha can also use Slash, and Dunk Slash.
After the first Sword fight Quick-time event, Tasha will start to teleport and
dodge your attacks. In order to hit Tasha, use Gathering Burst to slow him
down.
The easiest way to deal heavy damage to Tasha is use Counter to hit him.
However he will then start to Counter your Counters (ridiculous!).
Defeat Tasha for a scene between him and Elza. Tasha says that he'll return
to the Empire and raise up a new generation of knights that General Trista
would be proud of.
Some dungeons that have been cleared before can still be accessed:
On Ruli Island:
Arena Season 3
Robber's Hideout
Haunted Mansion
Underground Labyrinth
Sea Cave
Mysterious Forest (from Vono Islands)
Ruli Castle:
Tower of Ordeal
Seiren and Jackal will not appear in town until after Chapter 42.
To access Chapter 42 go to Kanan's room and examine the picture of Kanan and
her parents.
To access Chapter 43 go to Lotta's store and talk to him, he's standing
outside with Irmina. A knight will come to report to Elza. Speak with him to
go back to the Underground Labyrinth.
Chapter 42 - Temple of the Arganan [CH42]
Elza says he wants to go to the Arganan tomb to make an oath in front of
Kanan's parents' grave. So off they go, just the two of them by themselves.
Kanan even warns him that since no one has been there in years that is likely
overrun with monsters. Elza says that is unforgivable and that once he has
time, he'll have the knights do a monster extermination run later.
The first thing that you will notice is there are lizards waiting for the two
of them. Elza can choose to either take them head on (first choice) or go
around the right and sneak behind them (second choice).
If both characters are fairly under-leveled, choose the second choice and have
Elza sneak behind the pillars, then Slash the lizards while Kanan shoots
magic at them. Once taken care of, enter the large doors.
The two of them enter a temple/church-like building. Take out the lizards
hiding here. One of the lizards can put up the field barriers that the Gurg
Fields in previous chapters used.
One particularly fiendish way of dealing with this is before entering the
building completely, use Elza's Deadly Bow and shoot the Field Lizard in the
head and hope it gives him the Death Sentence status. The rest of the fight
against the mages can be done while Elza hides behind a pillar and shoots the
lizards with his bowgun. Once the mages are gone, Elza can go and defeat the
archers by himself. Otherwise, just run into the crowd and start swinging.
Kanan will rejoin Elza inside, then more lizards will break through the wall.
Defeat them as well. A Lizard Blade (giant lizard) will show up through the
entrance.
Once the lizards have been defeated, check the broken walls for treasure
chests inside. There are two in the left area. And one on the right. Kanan
will wait at the next gate.
Exit the church and the pair will be in the graveyard, where more lizards are
waiting. These are Gold Lizards and Gold Archers. The three hiding in the back
have Burst arrows. So watch out for them. Have Kanan attack the support of the
bridge the three archers are on to take care of them. Or have Elza pitch a
cannon shell over there to blow them up. The Gold lizards are immune to Kanan's
Holy magic. Finish off the lizards then enter the gate.
The two can either go left or right from here.
Going left will lead to an area where there are lizard mages and snipers.
Going right will lead to an area where there are more close-combat fighters.
Before taking your selected path however, there is a narrow opening left of
the door in front of Elza. Sidle through there to find the Rare Weapon:
Arganan Dagger.
Go back to lizard hunting, as either path will lead to combat. Once done,
either from the right path, continue on before entering the building, past a
broken wall to find a chest. From the left path, exit the building Elza and
Kanan are in and find the same chest. Head back inside and examine the hole in
the ground to go down to the next area. Kanan jumps in first, and Elza follows
after her.
The two of them reach the final area before the Arganan family's burial place.
Open the large imposing door. Elza will go in first. Look up in First-Person
mode. Elza will spot a Golden Spider. Crap.
Boss: Gold Spider
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Joy, yet another spider boss. This one will be particularly tough as only Elza
and Kanan are available for the fight, making Elza the main dealer of damage.
The spider will use body slam attacks, spit webbing on downed allies and then
eat them. However unlike the fight with the Mystic Spider, the party members
CAN escape its gut. The spider will knock down both Kanan and Elza, then
swallow up Kanan. Elza will freak out, but Kanan shouts that she's all right
and will use magic to attack the spider from the inside. Continue to attack
the spider until Kanan breaks free. When the spider farts out (yes it farts
them out) a trapped member, they will have the Beto-Beto (sticky) status.
Notably this spider's reeling ability is a lot faster than the previous ones,
so getting eaten is not good, as it will deal continuous damage to the victim.
If Elza gets eaten... Kanan starts to freak out. However while Elza is INSIDE
the spider, it's defences are crap, so feel free to swing at it while he's in
there, however make sure Elza is using a weapon that has life drain or healing
skill so he can heal himself while attacking, as being inside the spider WILL
hurt him badly.
Gold Spider however has a higher likelihood of swallowing up Kanan instead of
Elza (if he isn't using Gathering), so don't rely primarily on this strategy.
If you plan to fight the spider head-on, use Elza's Counter when it tries to
claw him.
Near the end of the fight, lizard mages join in and start dropping damage
circles in the area. Take them out if they're being nuisances. Once all the
lizards are gone, there won't be more coming back, so focus on the spider
again.
Either let the spider swallow Elza again so he can finish it off, or let Kanan
shoot magic at it. Once the final blow has been dealt, the spider goes down.
The party receives a Grand Swell +3. Which would have been really useful for
this fight. Unless you've upgraded the one you've received from the Kraken
boss earlier.
Go down the hall that the spider was in and open the door. Climb up the stairs
for a scene as Elza and Kanan arrive at her parents' grave. It looks like the
others ended up following after them. It would have really helped if they
joined in on the fight, but they said they just wanted to watch.
Talk to Kana first, then to Elza's friends. This will lead to the next scene,
as Jackal performs a make-shift wedding ceremony. Pick the left choice to move
on as Toberu Mono plays in the background and a very long scene plays out.
All's well that ends well. For now. But the game isn't over yet.
Elza and Kanan return to Kanan's room in Ruli Castle. Turn around in Seek mode
to look at Kanan to progress the scene.
Once control returns to Elza, leave Ruli Castle and finish the game.
Arganan Temple will be added to repeatable dungeons now.
If Chapter 43 hasn't been dealt with, go to Lotta's shop.
Seiren will now be hanging around Craftsman's Alley with the Traveling
Merchant girl.
Once the dungeon has been cleared, go to Ariel's Tavern and speak to her
outside. She'll be sweeping the ground. She tells Elza that Jackal says that
'that' thing has been completed, and that he's waiting somewhere around the
Castle Gate Plaza, so head that way. Elza will hear a familiar voice, turn
around to seek... Quark?
Actually it's Jackal. He says 'that' thing is ready and asks if Elza is ready
to go. Choose the left option to move on to Chapter 44 or choose the right one
if you still have things to do in town.
Jackal will wait for Elza in front of the Color store.
The side-quests: Charisma Chef, Aspiring Patissiere, The Trader, Frog of Good
Luck, Man of the Solitary Island, and Lizard Counterattack are still available.
Chapter 43 - Miasma Cave [CH43]
Talk to the knight in front of Lotta's shop to continue on to the next dungeon.
The knight says that a strange poison is spreading from the Underground
Labyrinth and they need Elza to investigate it.
Before Elza leaves for the Underground Labyrinth, Lotta gives him Key Item:
Lotta's Ring. This can be used in Seek Mode to find hidden entrances and
pathways in the Labyrinth; particularly to hidden treasure in the area.
Elza and all his friends head for the Labyrinth.
Head down the stairs to take out a group of lizards. Afterward, search for the
hidden door to get some treasure.
In the next area, the party jumps down to fight a large group of lizards,
defeat them and search the area for two hidden doors. When Seek comes up,
there is a target to the right of where the party came down from. The hidden
passage behind a narrow wall opens up when Elza checks it. Sidle into the area
and open the door.
The party enters the room filled with water, there are no enemies here,
however Elza spots a door along a higher part of the wall where the party
can't reach. Operate the switch to flood the room so the party can swim over
there.
The party emerges in the actual labyrinth. Upon closer inspection to the area
of where they came from, there is a large group of lizards and cave cougars
there. Attack them if you wish.
There are two chests in the open area where the enemies were standing.
Move towards the closed gate. Upon entering area, numerous lizards come out to
attack the party. Jackal guesses that there are at least 100 of them.
Elza and the rest of the party have a little game among themselves to see how
many they can kill.
Elza will count out loud the number of lizards that he takes down during this
battle.
The conversation at the end will differ depending on whether or not Elza can
kill more lizards that the others. If he reaches over 40 it's a good indicator
that Elza won. If not, somebody else will have their say. Pick up any
remaining loot that remains from the melee. Have Elza take the alternate path
instead of the one the others wait in front to find a treasure chest. Head up
the stairs and back to the area where the lizard statue was.
A cut-scene occurs and the party notices that there is something very wrong
with the water here. Before going down the stairs, go down each of the three
paths and use Lotta's ring to find a hidden door at each end for treasure.
Once all the treasure has been gathered, head down the secret stairs.
According to the party, the miasma down here is worse. Go into the room where
the two large lizard men were previously when you were here the first time.
Remember all that treasure that Seiren wanted to grab the first time, but
couldn't? Now's your chance.
Checking the door will indicate that it is locked. Use Lotta's ring to search
the walls. Inside is a chest with the Key Item: Key to the Treasury.
Elza can now unlock the cells in this area to receive some gold and other
things. So backtrack and open each of the cells. Inside he will find assorted
swords, materials and gold.
From the entrance of this room:
Legendary Fertilizer x3
Gnome's Gold Ore
Dragon Hide x5
Nightmare +3
Blunt Diamond Sword
Blunt Gold Sword
Going right to left in the large room
6000G
3000G
Key Item: Key to the Altar door
4000G
Eventually one of the cells contains the Key Item: Key to the Altar door.
Once Elza has looted the room open the door to the Altar room and move on.
There is a Save Point right in front of the door.
Boss: Mad Kraken
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
A lot like the original Kraken, except pink and transparent instead of black.
The idea is the same, cut off the tentacles, then attack its head. The problem
is that the tentacles can now cause the Beto-Beto (sticky) status effect. The
Kraken itself can also cause Death Sentence and deal heavy damage if you get
too close, by creating lightning around it. It can also create black magic
circles that shoots a spike that will take out a character easily.
Mad Kraken's weakness is fire so have Yuris cast Meteor whenever he can, and
make sure Jackal is using Berserker instead of shooting ice at it (healing it,
which is bad).
Because this Kraken doesn't shoot a laser at the ceiling, one way to
damage it is to use Magic circles to hit it, and then dodge its counter attacks
and spells.
If it hangs around the pillars in the room, use those to your advantage and
climb up and hit it with a Dunk Slash.
After enough damage, Mad Kraken goes down and drops the Old Alloy (used for
upgrading the Knight's Armor).
Move on to either Chapter 42 or Chapter 44 if you've cleared 42.
By this point, you can access and replay the following dungeons:
Robber's Hideout
Mysterious Forest
Haunted Mansion
Tower of Ordeal
Underground Labyrinth
Sea Cave
Temple of the Arganan
Arena Season 3
Chapter 44 - Stargazing Tower: Night [CH44]
Head to the Color store back in Ruli City to speak with Jackal and go with him.
Elza, Kanan and Jackal are walking along in the city during the scene that
starts this chapter. They chat about their futures now that there isn't a need
for them to be mercenaries anymore.
The party will arrive at a cliff and an event will play out, with them paying
their final respects to Quark, at his newly placed gravestone.
A cut-scene then plays out, with Elza finally getting knighted.
Afterward, Elza will arrive at the Stargazing Tower, and there is a meteor
shower. Walk up to the platform and Kanan will arrive shortly after. Talk to
Kanan to start another scene, ending the game.
Congratulations, you've finished The Last Story!
Now you can start a New Game Plus with all your levels, equipment and items.
Normally occurring monsters will be a breeze considering this. The only catch
is that certain monsters, as well as the bosses will have leveled up something
ridiculous and will proceed in wrecking your face, so it's not going to be
that easy. Also replayable levels and Summon Circles will have powered up
enemies to match your character levels.
The advantage to this however is that all your equipment (except bowguns) can
now be upgraded past their Round 1 thresholds to up to +99. Unfortunately you
will need to collect a lot of Particles of the Stranger as well as Gold to
level up your gear. Have fun!
Also, your party will be equipped with whatever they were using last, except
for Quark, who will have Hunter Armor +9 and Hunter Legs +9 and the Emperor
equipped. He will also have all of Elza's abilities during the time you
control him in Chapter 1. He cannot however use a bowgun.
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Sub-Quests [Subquest]
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Sub-Quests in The Last Story aren't exactly... obvious to say the least.
In order to find them, Elza (and therefore the player) have to wander around
Ruli City's locales and speak with some very specific NPCs in order to open up
certain quests and garner their rewards. However what should be noted is that
if you see an NPC that isn't wandering around, or you haven't seen them before,
or has a circle marker indicating you can interact with them, that means they
MIGHT have a quest for you. Other quests aren't as obvious as they require
knowledge of Japanese to 'notice' an NPC's subtitles in regards to something
they want. The [Square Brackets] will denote what Chapter the Quest should be
available at.
Now then on to the list of Sub-Quests:
1000th Customer [Chapter 4]
Speak with the Fortune Teller who is located in front of the Central Plaza
(Ariel's Tavern side). She will tell Elza that it is his lucky day and that he
can get a free equipment upgrade at Lotta's Shop. Head over to the shop and
Lotta will exclaim that Elza is indeed the 1000th customer! You are free to
upgrade one piece of equipment free of charge, however if it has a material
component, you are still required to provide it.
Toy Coins [Chapter 4]
Speak with a boy at the South Gate Plaza. He will call out to Elza and
'challenge' him. This particular challenge involves finding Six shiny toy
coins. Agree to the boy's challenge, and he will run off to hide the coins
around the city. You will find the coins at the following locations: Central
Plaza, Fountain Plaza, South Gate Plaza, the Marche, West of the Arena, and on
the way to the Castle Gate Plaza. Return to him after finding all six coins
and he'll hand over his 'treasure', the Hoe weapon. Note that the Hoe is an
awful weapon until you are able to upgrade it in a New Game Plus.
Charisma Chef [Chapter 4]
If you head to the Marche, there is a man in red that wanders around the area.
There are two men dressed like this, however only one of them will speak with
you. He is the Charisma Chef [カリスマ料理人] of the Marche and he requires
ingredients for meals that he needs to prepare. He will reward you for your
trouble however. You can repeat this however many times you'd like.
The other recipes that he can make will appear as you progress through the
game.

along the left side near a large bell-like structure. Speak with her and she
says that she wants certain ingredients for recipes. She will reward you in </pre><pre id="faqspan-6">
return for the ingredients you bring her. You can repeat this however many
times you'd like. The other recipes that she can make will appear as you

Lizard's Canine x1
The Orchid Robber's Group [Chapter 4]
As you approach the alleyway West of the South Gate Plaza that leads back
towards Ariel's Tavern, there will be a young girl sitting on a bench there.
Speak with her, and suddenly Elza's wallet will be stolen (the paltry sum of
100 G). There are three of them, and you have to find them in Seek mode to get
your wallet back, as well as a Dragon Hide x1.
They are hiding around the following locations:
On top of the South Gate
On the roof of Ariel's Tavern (This is the kid who has the wallet)
On the Street Light south of the Arganan Bridge
After finding them, you learn why the people here aren't too fond of
mercenaries.
The Comedian [Chapter 4]
There's a fellow sitting North of the Arena, he looks kind of like a mime,
with a black hat. Speak with him and he talks about bananas. He asks Elza a
question and if you say you want to learn about the secret, he'll ask you to
bring him a banana. Hand one over and he'll give you Prank Banana x50 in
return. You can repeat this however many times you'd like.
Friend of the Frogs [Chapter 4]
From the Central Plaza, Elza can go down some stairs to the riverside. On the
west end, there is a boy standing on the wooden deck there. Speak with him and
he says that he'll teach Elza something neat if he can catch three frogs.
There is a catch however. In order to have the frogs appear, Elza must first
speak with the Fortune Teller, and she will tell you where a frog is hiding.
There are six possible locations for where they are:
On the riverside Wood Deck, North-West area
Near the well behind Ariel's Tavern
Near the Fountain in Castle Gate Plaza
Near the Fountain in Fountain Plaza
Near the well around the Eastern Gate; near Marche area
Near the well behind the Color shop north of Central Plaza
Elza must slowly approach the frog from behind and press A to catch it. Once
you've caught a frog, every member of the party gains +5 to their speed. This
can be repeated six times (for a total of +30 speed). In order to have a new
frog appear, Elza must go into Ariel's Tavern, leave and then talk to the
Fortune Teller again.
Once you've collected enough frogs, the boy will teach Elza how to Dive into
the river and explore other parts of the city he couldn't reach before.
Frog of Good Luck [Chapter 4]
Once you've caught six frogs in the previous sub-quest, every frog thereafter
will reward you with either a Green Four Leaf Clover or a Yellow Fish Scale.
The procedure is still the same. You can repeat this however many times you'd
like.
Tent Watchman [Chapter 4]
On the riverside closest to the Tavern, there will be a young boy standing
guard in front of a tent with a treasure chest inside. He says that he won't
EVER budge from his spot if you want that treasure. He will however hint that
he wants to see fireworks. So launch a few of them into the sky, run into the
tent, snag the Dragon Hide and then run away. If he comes back before you
finish up, he'll take it back.
Cooking Ingredients [Chapter 4]
Near the arena, there is a female shopkeeper standing next to a man cooking.
Speak with her (she's somewhat vocal), and she'll say that she doesn't have
enough ingredients ready for the customers around the arena. Offer to help her
and she'll have over 3000 G for Elza to buy Banana x1, Egg x2 and Coconut x3.
Pick these up for her in the Marche and hand them over. She'll let you keep
the change, give you a Dragon Hide and makes her shop available to shop at.
The Old Sailor [Chapter 4]
Head near the East gate, just North-east of the Marche. There should be an
older looking gentleman wearing blue-grey sitting on a bench. Take a seat next
to him and he'll talk to Elza. He will ask Elza what's more important, Your
physical health, or economic sense. Pick physical health to increase you
defence by one, or pick economic sense for 100 G. Personally I'd go for the
Defense boost.
Tripping Ladies [Chapter 4]
Around the Castle Gate Plaza, there will be a girl waiting on tables griping
about how the ladies sitting/standing nearby are simply loitering and not
ordering something. She wishes someone would 'do' something about it. So grant
her wish by shooting all the ladies in the area with Prank Bananas, and this
will make her day. She has a good laugh and hands over Wheat x1.
Solitary Old Man [Chapter 4]
Once you've obtained the ability to Dive into the river, if you head along the
east most point of the river and climb up the ladders, you will arrive at a
strange old man's residence. He will tell you some very... obscure facts about
what Elza has done in the city. And reward you for it too. He'll even give you
a Dragon Hide for visiting him the first time around.
How many times you've bumped into people on the streets.
50 Times: Leek weapon
100 Times: Frying Pan weapon
150 Times: Kitchen Knife weapon
300 Times: Dragon Fang x9
How many times you've banged your head/face on low-hanging signboards.
20 Times: Hammer weapon
50 Times: Axe weapon
100 Times: Lance weapon
150 Times: Dragon Fang x9
How many times you've slipped and fell (banana peels, oranges etc.)
20 Times: Pitch Fork weapon
50 Times: Wooden Club weapon
100 Times: Stool weapon
150 Times: Dragon Fang x9
All the weapons you receive from him have very unique effects, but cannot be
upgraded during Round 1, and are VERY weak. They are however very amusing to
use in cut-scenes and in online play.
Behind the East River Gate [Chapter 7]
West of the Marche, there is a young man who says there are strange noises
coming from behind the water gate on the East side of the river. After
speaking with him, if you Dive into the river and approach the left-most grate,
there should be a circle there, indicating that you can interact with it.
Should you CHOOSE to enter, Elza will spot three Cave Cougars (level 40)
enemies and they are a million kinds of nasty this early in the game. You can
choose either to fight them, or retreat depending on your level. Note that
Elza has to fight these by himself, so if you're still in the early stages of
the game, it is a good idea to come back later.
Defeating the cougars will earn you a Sylph's Bowstring x3 (one from each) and
the three chests contain: Silver Thread x1, Indigo Thread x1 and Divine Beast
Sword.
The Starving Kid [Chapter 7]
You may have met this kid earlier along the riverside, but you couldn't do
anything for him... yet. Anyway, after clearing the Robber's Hideout, go to
Ariel's Tavern and speak with her. She says that she just finished making a
new boxed lunch and hands over Key Item: Ariel's Bentou to Elza. She warns him
not to go near Manamia with it though, or else she'll eat it.
Head over to the riverside to the boy who's sitting on the ground next to a
tent. He'll notice that you're carrying the lunch box. Talk to him and he'll
offer to trade a Towel (for wiping sweat) in exchange for the food. Agree and
you receive Key Item: Towel
Go to the Craftsman's Alley (you might have seen this guy gripe about being
sweaty earlier). He'll notice you have the towel and he'll offer the Key Item:
Basic Magic Spell book in exchange for it. Make the trade.
Once you have access to Ruli Castle, head to the library and one of the magic
school kids (a boy) will notice you have the book. He'll talk to you and offer
Key Item: Aristocrat's Basics book in exchange for the spell book.
Take this book outside of Ruli Castle and around the Castle Gate Plaza area.
One of the ladies (that you had tripped earlier) will notice you. She even has
that annoying 'Ohohoho' laugh too. Trade the book for Key Item: High Grade
Gemstone.
Gem in hand, head back to the castle and up to the third level in the main
area. Go to the end of the hallway near the Earl's office, and a lady will
stop you. She'll offer in exchange for you shiny stone, Key Item: Zola's Ship
Journal.
Now this will take a while... once you've hit Chapter 22, you can finally
enter the prison and find Zola. Speak with him and he'll notice you have his
journal. He demands that you give it back to him, but will offer his sword in
return. Take him up on his offer and you'll receive Zola's sword. This katana
can be upgraded to the Rokujou Hannya, which is especially handy in a lot of
fights against human foes.
Blue Bird [Chapter 7]
The title of this is somewhat... confusing, but whatever. Before you head to
Ruli Castle, there is a girl standing on the second floor of Ariel's Tavern
(she'll stand out, so don't worry you'll see her). Speak with her and she says
that she wants to get some Angel's Thread in order to make a special kind of
dye. Agree to help her and she sends you off to the Central Plaza, saying that
the feathers of blue birds contain Angel's Thread (I have no idea how that
works), but whatever. You'll notice that Seek mode pops up and you have to
look for the blue birds.
1. Top of the central pillar in the Central Plaza
2. West side fence of the central area in the Central Plaza
3. Far hanging lamp on the doorway on the East side of Central Plaza
4. Near hanging lamp on the doorway on the West side of Central Plaza, Chase
it the Castle Gate Plaza Fountain and Seek it again.
Once you've picked up four Angel's Threads for her, go back to the tavern and
speak with her. She'll hand over the Stimulating Bleach, which makes Armor
invisible (insert boob joke here).
Miina from Marche [Chapter 7]
Wander around the Marche, and head over to the South end where the hill is.
Elza will hear a girl yell in surprise and a wagon full of fruit is dumped in
his general direction, causing him to slip and fall on his ass. A girl named
Miina will run up to him and apologize for goofing up. As the story progresses,
make sure you attempt to speak with Miina whenever you can. Once you've spoken
to her three times, by Chapter 23 she will go out on a date with Elza, and
introduce you to her stray cat Mii. Feed the cat some almonds and it will
follow you around the city (for a short period of time anyway). After Elza has
been knighted (sort of, around Chapter 30) you can speak to her again and
she'll give you a Dragon Fang.
Search for the Lost Kitten [Chapter 7]
As you wander around the city, you'll notice that the Seek button pops up when
you approach the area North of the Central Plaza. You'll spot a young boy
standing on the roof top of the Color Shop calling out for his lost kitten.
Run up behind the building and climb the ladder to speak with the boy and
agree to help him find his kitty, Mari. To do this, speak with the Fortune
Teller, who directs you to the Fountain Plaza. There you will find a white cat
waiting for you. Chase after the cat through the back alleys of Ruli City and
she'll lead you to where the kitten has gotten itself stuck. Elza will
automatically return to the boy with the kitten, and he receives the Tea Ladle
(a Japanese tea ladle) as his prize (yet another joke weapon).
Stolen Permission Pass [Chapter 7/19]
In order to start the events which lead to this sub-quest (as well as
activating Chapter 21), go to the area North of the Arena to find a boy
speaking with his older sister. You will learn that his sister has a strange
illness. After Chapter 19, go back to the same area and you'll find the boy by
himself, lamenting the fact that he can't do anything for his sister who is
now bedridden. Return to Ariel's Tavern, and then leave. A scene will occur as
the boy bumps into Elza and runs off. Elza will realize that his Permission
Pass just got jacked. Chase after him, and if he bumps into pedestrians, that
is your chance to grab him. If you mess up and lose sight of him, wander
around the area and Elza will wonder if people nearby have seen him. Continue
to give chase, once you've cornered him twice Elza will drag the boy with him
back to the Tavern, while Ariel will berate the thief. Elza can then choose to
either take back his pass, or give it to the boy. Giving it to him will cause
another scene between Elza and Quark to play out, with Quark saying that Elza
is too nice for his own good. After this little mess, Elza gains +20 to his
Speed and the boy will have dropped a Dragon Fang inside the Tavern. You can
go back outside to the arena area later and find out why the boy's sister is
ill.
Gatekeeper of Ruli Castle: West [Chapter 8]
Once you have access to Ruli Castle and can move about freely, head towards
the West gate to speak with the guard there. He says that three generations of
his family have been guarding this gate, his grandfather, his father and
himself. What's behind the gate however is a mystery. Head to South Gate Plaza
to find an elderly man sitting on a bench and speak with him. He will say that
he is the young man's grandfather and give you some special Cooling Herbal
Medicine to give to his grandson. Return to the gate and hand it over to the
guard. He gives Elza a Dragon Hide as thanks.
Gatekeeper of Ruli Castle: East [Chapter 8]
Approach the Eastern gate, and try to open the door. The Gatekeeper here isn't
as talkative as his friend on the other side, and tells you that you can't go
through this door. He will say that since you took the trouble to chat with
him, he'll give you a Gnome's Copper Ore, just because.
Kanan's One-Piece [Chapter 19]
A particularly easy sub-quest. After the events in Chapter 19, Kanan will want
to be left alone and will refuse to see Elza. Go to Jill's room next door to
Kanan's and examine the closet in his room. You will find Kanan's One-Piece
there. Elza will even comment 'What the heck is this doing here...?' Creepy.
Marche Store-Keeping [Chapter 19]
One of the shop keepers in the Marche, one that you have to approach from
behind his stall to talk to, says that he has some errands to run and needs
someone to watch his stall for a bit. Volunteer to do so and Elza can sell the
party's excess junk to people passing by for a pretty penny. Go into Seek mode
to select your potential customer. Do note that the civilians have different
tastes and will buy different things from you.
Lizard Counter-Attack [Chapter 19]
There is a soldier standing in the Courtyard of Ruli Castle on the East side.
He will tell Elza that he has received a message addressed to him. Choose to
read it and it will be narrated by a particularly belligerent Lizard man who
wishes to challenge Elza to a mano-to-mano duel. Kind of.
Elza will arrive at the Cliff Road, and lo and behold, there is a lizard man
waiting. While riding a Gurg Beast. Elza asks if this is even remotely a mano-
to-mano duel and the lizard tells him to shut up and tries to run him over
with the beast. Knock the lizard off the beast, the commandeer it, press and
hold A to make the beast dash around and flatten all who stand in your way, as
this is no longer a one-on-one match, but a bloodbath as Elza squishes the
crap out of the incoming lizards. Press B to dismount the beast if you want.
Stomp enough lizards and they'll run away cursing Elza's name. You will
receive one of the following rewards:
Pirate's Ring x1
Noble's Ring x1
Legendary Fertilizer x2
You can repeat this, but the lizards aren't getting any stronger (and they
aren't learning their lesson either).
Dragonmeister [Chapter 19]
East of the arena in the maze like alleyways, there's a robed man sitting
there. Speak with him and he says that if you bring him 5 Dragon Hides, he'll
make you something good. You can choose to either make Dragon Armor or Dragon
Legs. This choice is represented by him asking Elza about what his preferences
are. 'What do you like' -> Answers being 'Boobs' or 'Butts'. (Seriously, those
are the choices).
This can be repeated as long as you have enough Dragon Hides.
Pumpkin Garden [Chapter 19]
Just outside of Ariel's Tavern, there should be a mustached man in a hat
standing on the street corner. Talk to him and agree to follow him to the
newly made fields. You will arrive at the area outside of Ruli City and on a
pumpkin farm. He will give you a Seedling and some regular Fertilizer.
You can then grow pumpkins for recipes and profit.
First off, you must plant a seedling, then you must fertilize it.
Fertilizer -> Small Pumpkin
High Quality Fertilizer -> Normal Pumpkin
Legendary Fertilizer -> Ripe Pumpkin
After you've cleared a map or a chapter, return to the farm to harvest your
crops.
The Key Thief [Chapter 19]
Head over to Craftsman's Alley. You should spot the girl you met in the Tavern
hanging around here. She will say that she has something new for Elza, but her
key to the warehouse has been stolen. Elza will say that's too bad, but who
would steal a key for dyes? She then will say, oh someone who looks just like
that, as a boy (who strikingly resembles the permission pass thief) shows up.
Give chase and get the key back from him. After she scolds him, she gives Elza
the Shocking Bleach, which makes Legs invisible (insert dirty joke here)
Elza's Groupies [Chapter 21]
This sub-quest is available after clearing the optional Chapter 21, Tavern
Salamander. Speak with the Fortune Teller in front of Central Plaza and she'll
say that she is now telling Love fortunes. Ask her to tell your Love fortune
and she will direct Elza to the Eastern balcony of Central Plaza, where he can
flirt with one of eight girls from Ruli City.
Elza must correctly answer at least two of their questions for them to agree
to meet him later at the Tavern Salamander. Here are some 'rough' translations.
Older Lady in Love 恋するおばさん
Yes, I like older women. はい 年上好きです
I do think so. そう思います
With pleasure. 喜んで
Older Sister in Love 恋するお姉さん
No. いいえ
Older I guess. 年上かな

Lady in Love 恋する貴婦人
There's no need for basics and such in being stylish. おしゃれに基本などないです
I think that's wonderful. 素敵だと思います
Of course it is. もちろんあります
Spoiled Princess in Love 恋するお姫様
The way you did you eyes is very pretty. 綺麗な目をしていますね
You're very determined to be charming. 勝気で魅力的ですね
That's not the case. そうでもない

Thank you. ありがとう
I think doing it gently is wonderful. 優しくて素敵だと思う
I am fond of the gentle and older type. 優しい年上は好みですよ
Fun Girl in Love 恋する楽しい女性
That's right. そうだね
In my mind. 俺の頭の中
For the time being, how about getting a meal? とりあえず 食事でもどうですか？
Romantic in Love 恋するロマンチスト
Yes, I will most certainly come to welcome you. うん きっと君を迎えにくるよ
You're already closer enough I think. もう近くにいるかもしれないよ
How about me being your prince? 俺が君の王子様ってことさ
Serious Girl in Love 真面目な女性
Having calm judgment. 冷静な判断力
A mind that fears the world. 世の中を危惧する心
A self-confident mindset. 自分に自信を持つ心
You'll need to go back and forth between Ariel's Tavern and the Fortune teller
in order to meet all eight girls. After the ninth time (assuming you've done
it right) the fortune teller will tell Elza that he has a fated meeting at the
Tavern Salamander. You can now go there to feel... appreciated (I guess).
Although this does mean that Elza has learned a thing or two from Jackal
(despite saying he wants nothing to do with Jackal's art of seducing women).
Bow Expert [Chapter 22]
Elza must have sworn loyalty to the Earl first. During the celebrations at
Ariel's Tavern, one of the men on the second floor will mention that there is
a man looking for a 'bow expert'. Speak to him and say that you're interested.
He will tell Elza that a man in a blue hat and clothes is hanging around the
Fountain Plaza looking for a 'bow expert'. Elza can head out the next morning
in search of him. When you approach him the first time, he asks Elza to shoot
someone with this arrow. Elza says 'There's no way I'm going around killing
people'. Jackal will show up and wonder what's going on, and Elza explains to
him that this guy wants him to assassinate people for him. The man explains to
them that he doesn't want that, and Jackal realizes that the arrow is a Charm
Arrow. Elza catches on and agrees to help him, despite the fact the guy should
really try harder himself. Once you've received the arrow, target the girl in
blue. Elza will react if you hit the right person, which leads to a scene with
the guy 'flirting' with his target, until she snaps out of her stupor and
slaps him. Elza will gain +2.0 to his Arrow damage if successful. This can be
repeated at least once every chapter until Chapter 31. It is possible to reset
it by going to one of the replayable dungeons and clearing them. Failure in
hitting the right target will earn you Prank Banana x10.
Knight's Armor [Chapter 22]
Once Elza is allowed to 'stay' in Ruli Castle, there is a
wardrobe/closet/cabinet in his room that he can examine. Inside he finds an
old set of Knight's Armor.
The Drunk [Chapter 27]
After escaping from Prison, it will be night time in Ruli City. Head over
towards the Tavern Salamander, and south-east (not SE on the map, but
physically if you're looking at the door) of its entrance should be a man
leaning against the wall, looking rather ill. Go into Seek mode and look at
him until he talks to you, saying that just looking at the empty bottle makes
him ill, he will ask you to take care of it and hands over the Wine Bottle.
Gurg Lost and Found [Chapter 29]
While you are in the Gurg Castle, do NOT pick up any of the Gurg items in the
treasure chest. Instead wait until you have reached the Epilogue and then talk
to the following Gurg citizens that now reside in Ruli City.
Gurg Pot -> Gurg man in Marche.
Gurg Comb -> Gurg woman in front of Castle Gate Plaza.
Gurg Doll -> Gurg girl in South Gate Plaza.
Now you can go to the castle and fetch the items in the chests.
Return these items to them and you will receive a Gurg Esoteric Writing x1
from each of them.
Fashion Magazine to Gurg Castle [Chapter 31]
The last sub-quest. You can listen to a girl in blue near the East gate. She
will mention that her boyfriend has been stationed somewhere faraway. There
aren't that many faraway places where knights would be, so head to the Gurg
castle. Once you're there, listen to the knight standing near the exit. He
says that he's bored and wishes that he had something, namely a fashion
magazine to read. Speak with him to return to Ruli Island, then speak to the
girl at the East gate. She will hand over Key Item: Fashion Magazine. Go back
to Gurg Castle and give the magazine to the knight. He will ask you to deliver
Key Item: Letter to Girlfriend. Go back and give the letter to the girl. She
will then give you a Dragon Fang.

Exploring Ruli City [Rurimachi]
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Scattered throughout Ruli City are a number of random items that will
regenerate each time you leave for a dungeon and come back.
You will find 17 locations where there are Status Boosting placed in town.
They will always be in the same location, but will be randomly generated,
except for one item, which will always give +0.2 to your Arrow damage.
The following map provided by dswiipspwikips3.jp gives details to the
locations of these random items, denoted as blue dots on the map.
http://dswiipspwikips3.jp/laststory/ruri.jpg
Also on this map are the locations of the Six Toy Coins (red), possible Frog
locations (yellow), four of the five treasure chests in town (green) and
lastly people in town (purple) that you can 'stare' at in Seek mode to earn
free items from (once). The last treasure chest is in the area South of the
arena, next to the bridge.
Furthermore, as you wander around the city, you will sometimes spot something
shiny on the ground. The Seek option should pop up and notify you that there
is something there. Make sure you find it quickly as the item will vanish
after a set amount of time. There are eight locations in Ruli City where these
items will appear and will respawn after a set period of time.
At night time however, Food product items will appear as well, but there are
only two instances in the game where this will occur, so you are better off
just buying these items from the Merchants instead of searching for them.
http://dswiipspwikips3.jp/laststory/seek.jpg
This map tells you which places have Seek items.
An area of importance in this map however is #5. Here Elza can grab some
feathers, which are Arrow Damage attack boosters.
Items that you can find in Town are the low ranked Stat boosters for Elza or
the Stat boosters that affect the entire party.
In Seek Mode, Elza must Chain together his finds in order to get better items
at the end.
Here is a list of the possible things Elza can find:
Chain 1: Spring Vegetable Seed, Yellow Fish Scale, Green Clover, Winter Sky
Stardust, Midsummer Coral, Khaki Bullet
Chain 2: Spring Vegetable Seed, Yellow Fish Scale, Green Clover, Red Igneous
Rock, Fallen Autumn Leaf, Khaki Bullet
Chain 3: Spring Vegetable Seed, Yellow Fish Scale, Green Clover, Red Igneous
Rock, Fallen Autumn Leaf, Khaki Bullet
Chain 4: Fertilizer, High Grade Fertilizer
Chain 5: Sylph's Bowstring, Gnome's Copper Ore (early in the game), Gnome's
Silver Ore (mid-game), Gnome's Gold Ore (late in the game)
Area 5 has feathers:
Chain 1: Arrow Damage +0.1
Chain 2: Arrow Damage +0.1
Chain 3: Arrow Damage +0.1
Chain 4: Arrow Damage +0.2
Chain 5: Arrow Damage +0.5
The people you'll want to Seek in town are:
They will turn the cursor red if you point it on them. Other people turn the
cursor red as well, but won't give you anything.
Man playing an Accordion in Castle Gate Plaza: Banana
Old Man in a Bowler hat, Castle Gate side of Central Plaza: Wine
Boy holding bag of Apples near Lotta's Shop: Coconut
Man fishing along the South side of the River: Dragon Hide
Girl talking with her brother in the alley East of Lotta's Shop: Magic Def +1
Woman sweeping South of Ariel's Tavern: Dragon Hide
Boy on a bench in South Gate Plaza: Normal Pumpkin
Man repairing a wall, West of Fountain Plaza: Dragon Hide
Boy on a roof above the Marche Color Shop: Dragon Hide
Night: Boy on the Eastern bridge: Fireworks x10

Arena [Arena]
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
When you first arrive at the Arena in Chapter 4, Elza gets the wrong idea from
Seiren and thinks that it's a brothel or love hotel. However it is indeed an
Arena for fighting and whatnot. Every time a new Arena 'season' comes up, Elza
will brave it with Seiren and Jackal in tow. Once you've cleared a Season, you
can then choose to bring other party members with you instead. Your team must
be a team of 4 for all Seasons when you replay them.
The rules of the Arena are simple: Go through the gates to each room and clear
out all the enemies there, then move on until all the monsters have been
eliminated. If Elza is downed five times, you have to Retire your Arena
challenge. Clearing the Arena will earn you prize money, as well as any items
you happen to pick up there while killing monsters. Certain rare weapons and
items can only be found while fighting in the Arena.
You are not timed here, so you can take your time going through each room, and
each time you repeat a season of the Arena, your prize money will increase.
Furthermore, before you each match, you can speak with the group of four
people standing to the left of the entrance. They will say that they'll bet on
Elza and friends to win their match and will reward you accordingly if you
meet their expectations. The items that they wager are predetermined and they
will cycle through them. This is a fairly easy to earn some extra gold, food
products and some Upgrade materials.
There are three Seasons of Arena battles. Season 1 is initially available.
Season 2 is unlocked once you have reached Chapter 28 in the main story.
Season 3 is unlocked during the Epilogue chapter, and will replace both
Seasons 1 and 2.
The first time the party runs through Seasons 2 and 3 will be unique however.
Also at the end of each 'first run', Seiren and Jackal will speak with Elza
and give him 'his' share of the prize money. It's fairly paltry.
Arena Season 1
Head to the right.
Round 1: Lizard Archers, Lizard Mages, Battle Spiders and a Lizard Blade
Defeat these really easy enemies and move back to the starting room. Head to
the right from the exit. Elza can roll off the bridge and down the stairs as a
shortcut.
Round 2: Lizard Elites, Lizard Mage, Lizard Archers
Another easy battle. Kill them all to clear Season 1.
Rewards:
1000 G + 1000 x # of times cleared after 1st time for reward.
300 from Seiren and Jackal (first time only).
Arena Season 2
Head Straight to the first area.
Round 1: Sea Lizards, Lizard Archers and Lizard Healers.
Have a magic user blast the pillar near the stage twice, in order to get at
the enemies. Otherwise the party will be pin-cushioned to death. From there,
defeat the enemies. Elza can also use Burst arrows to destroy the pillar.
Go straight to the next area.
Round 2: Sumuruu
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
This thing is the same as Muruu except tougher. Use the same strategies
against him as you would the original. Use the torches in the stage to your
advantage to cause elemental damage to Sumuruu. Head to the left to the next
area.
This mini-boss will drop either the Nanashi or the super rare Airblade.
Round 3: Lots of Lizards: Lizard Elite, Lizard Piper, Lizard Healer, Lizard
Archer, Lizard Mage
Take out the healers and pipers first. The rest will fall apart fairly easily
after. Head to the next area. Some of the lizards here will drop the Defender.
Round 4: Ruli Knights (First Time Only)
This is a weird battle. Run up to a knight and attack him right away. Then
something weird will happen. Wait. What the hell just happened? An instant
replay shows the Knight just 'died' even though Elza didn't hit him. It seems
like the knights totally threw the battle for Elza and company.
5000 G + 1000 x # of times cleared after 1st time for reward.
1500 from Seiren and Jackal (first time only).
Arena Season 3
As usual, Elza is joined by Seiren and Jackal. Apparently there are rumors
that somebody from the Gurg continent is holding a grudge against him.
Head straight to the first area.
Round 1: Ruli Knights: Knights, Mages, Healer, Archers and Witch.
Take them down. They're not much to talk about anyway. Except for the ones
that shoot Sticky Arrows.
Head to the right to the next round.
Round 2: Gurg Tribe: Beasts, Guards, Gorgons, Mages and Healer.
This is actually kind of scary, not. Two of the large Gurg riding beasts are
here. As well as Gorgons, which can cast the Stone status effect. Take them
down like you would any other Gurg force.
Go to the next area.
Round 3: Ghoul
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
Wait what. It's the Gurg Captain. Looks like he still has a bone to pick with
Elza. Both Seiren and Jackal have no idea who he is, and even Elza has kind of
forgotten him. He summons a Ghoul to battle the party, but Ghoul instead
flattens him, then turns its attention to Elza and Company.
Same rules as before with fighting Ghoul in the Haunted Mansion. Use the walls
to Dunk Slash him into submission, as using Slash will cause Ghoul to crash
around the arena and squish the party.
Use the healing fountain when the Ghoul's supporting Skeleton archers/mages
inflict silence and death sentence on the party.
Defeating Ghoul will finish Season 3... however, as the three of them leave
they are interrupted by a giant spinning... Muruu (a la Gamera)! The Captain
has yet another pet for the party to fight. It proceeds in slapping him to
death (again). Kanan, Yuris and Manamia will join in on the fight.
Round 4: Domuruu (first time only)
Level:
Element:
Weakness:
A ridiculously HUGE Muruu. Same strategies for fighting regular Muruu will
work on this thing. Except that this one can one hit KO your party members by
falling on them or tackling them.
For the time being, let your magic users weaken it, and then use Deflector to
protect the party from the paralysis needles it shoots when it spins. However
due to its hugeness, the party cannot knock it down onto its back using regular
means. Use Tension Artes to deal heavy damage to Domuruu, as it doesn't have
any resistances to magic (including Ice which would heal the other ones).
While Domuruu is dazed, use Wind on an Ice magic circle to knock it on its back
From here you can Ride Muruu to deal massive damage as Elza jumps up and stabs
it.
There is no need to deal the finishing blow on Domuruu. Dealing enough damage
to it will drop it.
15000 G + 2000 x # of times cleared after 1st time for reward.
2000 from Seiren and Jackal (first time only).

Replayable Dungeons [Dungeon]
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
There are a few places that the party has been that the game allows you to
return to in order to amass gold, materials and new equipment. The catch is
that when you return to a dungeon that you've cleared already, you will NOT
earn any experience from the monsters there.
Also in some of these dungeons, new Golden treasure chests will be placed
around the area, containing randomly generated items, as well as some pre-
generated ones.
The enemy levels will change in order to be on par with your party members,
making them more difficult to deal with. This will even more noticeable during
a New Game Plus.
Also the bosses will sometimes drop rare weapons, however clearing a Dungeon
will sometimes only earn you a Clear bonus instead.
The dungeons that you can return to are:

Weapons [Buki]
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
There are a number of weapons in The Last Story. The fall into two main
categories: Physical or Magical.
Physical weapons offer a higher Physical attack and deal more damage.
Magical weapons offer a higher Magical attack and improve Spell damage.
Fighter Characters, such as Elza, Quark, Seiren and Jackal (despite being a
mage) can equip all weapons.
Mages/Healers, such as Kanan, Yuris and Manamia can equip only dagger weapons.
There are some weapons which can be equipped by all characters, regardless of
what type they are.
The translations for the weapon descriptions are my own.

Armor [Yoroi]
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
There are two categories for the armor found in The Last Story.
Armor - For the upper body
Legs - For the lower body
Fairly self-explanatory as to what they do. They improve your defences.
However at the beginning of the game, all the armor sets at their initial
level will provide the same level of defence until you upgrade them, improving
their defensive capabilities as well as activating skills associated with the
armor. Furthermore, all of the initial Armor sets can be bought in Craftsman's
Alley, save for the Dragon Armor set which needs to be made via a Sub-Quest,
and the Costume Armor, which takes up both the Armor and Legs slots, and you
will receive each of them once per play through.
Armor will gain a Skill at +6 (Except Dragon, which gains at +3)
Costume Armor will gain a Skill at +7
Legs will gain a Skill at +7

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
Goods are items that can be bought from the Greengrocer, Trade Shops, Street
Merchants in Ruli City, and can be sold back to them in order to make a profit
in Ruli City's ever changing 'trade market'. Look for merchants standing near
red flags if you're looking for a specific good.
These items are sometimes used as Trade goods for some sub-quests where the
NPC will ask you to gather certain goods and return with them in order to
receive your reward.
Note that some goods can only be bought from the Street Merchants, or can only
be acquired during one chapter.

them.

A maid in Ruli Castle can upgrade Kanan's dresses (Chapter 22-23).
A man in Craftsman's Alley can upgrade the Knight's Armor (Chapter 28).
Identify Shops - Represented by a person standing with the words 'Shop' on
them, and not much else around them.
The girl in Ariel's Tavern can do this later in the game.
There is a man in Craftsman's Alley who also does this.
When you receive a weapon, usually named ? Sword, it is unidentified.
Once it has been identified, you will no longer find ? Sword for that
particular item. This carries over to your New Game Plus as well.
Trade Shops - Represented by... many things. The thing with Trade shops is
that the prices for the items that they sell are not constant. The prices will
fluctuate from time to time, much like a real stock market.
There is a Material Shop in Craftsman's Alley. Has a Scroll sign.

Multiplayer [Multi]
~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~
There are two modes in Multi-player:
Fray
Suppression
Fray - A Player Vs. Player mode, which pits people against each other in free-
for-all style matches, or team-play matches. Whoever ends with the most points
at the end wins.
During this mode, your stats will be equalized with other players, so
equipment and character selection is purely aesthetic. However you can choose
to play as either a fighter or a mage type character. If you choose one of the
characters in your party, they will be appear in the equipment you had them in
last.
During online mode, Destruct Arrows are made available, as well as a number of
Online only weapons, and power-ups.
Weapons:
Silence Sword - A frying pan
Beto-Beto Sword - A leek
Poison Sword - A wine bottle
Power-ups:
Accelerate Orb - Gives Accelerate Stat Boost
Old Orb - ???
Power Orb - Attack power up
Magic Orb - Magic power up
Heal Orb - Heals damage
1 Point - Gives you 1 Point
3 Point - Gives you 3 Points
5 Point - Gives you 5 Points
10 Point - Gives you 10 Points
Prizes from Fray Mode:
The Special Effect Materials:
Light Marble
Rainbow Marble
Torch
Snowman
Holy Water
Black Fuzzy Lump
Sparkly Crystal
Starfish
Heart Card
Black Record
Omamori
Deodorant
Boric Acid Dango
The Online Weapons:
Sango/Coral
Bara/Rose
Himawari/Sunflower
Piko-Piko Hammer
Prophet
Zero Sword
Suppression - A Team Vs. Boss Monster mode, where a team of up to six is
pitted up against a stronger version of one of the bosses from the main story.
As long as the team achieves victory against the boss monster, everybody will
get something. Both Destruct and Heal Arrows are available in this.
Please note that the character you choose will have whatever equipment they
had on last, so be sure to properly equip them before going online. Also level
and stats DO matter in this mode.
Power-ups:
Accelerate Orb - Gives Accelerate Stat Boost
Power Orb - Attack power up
Magic Orb - Magic power up
Heal Orb - Heals damage
Bosses:
All the bosses are more or less the same as they were in the main story,
however they are much stronger and nastier.
Kraken - Fought in Sea Cave
He functions the same as the original Kraken, except he can now inflict the
DEATH status on players.
Prize: Claw Sword (once), Kraken Leg
Cocoon - Fought in the Arena
This isn't the Cocoon from Chapter 1, but rather the one from Chapter 39.
He will transform back and forth between the four legged 'feral' form and the
two legged 'final' form. The main difference is that he can change form, and
he also has back-up during the fight.
Prize: Trident (once), Monster's Cocoon
Nebirous - Fought in the Haunted Mansion
He isn't much different from before. In fact, Nebirous is one of the easier to
deal with Suppression bosses, as long as you gather Silver Arrows from the
Undead Archers.
Prize: Eclipse (once), Nebirous Splinter
Muruu - Fought in the Arena
In comparison to the other Muruu, this one is capable of performing Elemental
barrier changes, thereby changing what its weakness is in the middle of the
fight. He will change between fire and ice, so having two people playing
online as Yuris and Jackal will make this fight a lot easier. It can be done
without Yuris and Jackal, but is incredibly difficult.
Prize: Spiral (once), Muruu Shell
Atar
-n/a-
Prize: Dragoon (once), Atar's Claw
