SUIKODEN WALKTHROUGH VERSION 1.0 COMPILED BY CHRISTOPHER LEE BOGER leslumens@yahoo.com http://darken.0catch.com/goblin/ggdomain.htm %%%%%%%%%% SOME NOTES BEFORE I BEGIN %%%%%%%%%% This is the first draft of this walkthrough, and may not be complete in all the little secrets of the game as I know them. It will get you through the game, get you all 108 stars, and give you quite a bit of other information. I have yet to type up some sections (such as teams, and my description of "Power Trips". This should be enough to get you going. %%%%%%%%%% SOME NOTES BEFORE I BEGIN %%%%%%%%%% **---INTRO---** (1) Hero Lv=1 Wlvl=1 Bandanna, Tunic, Gloves, Boots, Medicine Just talk to your father and watch the sequence. Choose answers that make you sound grown up and responsible. After the audiance, you can run around and talk to the people in the castle if your want, but there's no real reason to do so other than to meet a few people who are going to become parts of the story later. Watch the sequence and talk to everyone in the house. Let Ted join when he asks. When you wake up after the next sequence, Gremio will join. (2) Gremio Lvl=1 Wlvl=1 Leather Coat, Gloves, Medicine You can search the book on your dresser to save the game, by the way. As you make your way outside the house, Pahn, Cleo, and Ted will join with you. (3) Pahn Lvl=1 Wlvl=1 Rune=Boar Headband, Tunic, Gloves (4) Cleo Lvl=1 Wlvl=1 Tunic, Circlet, Medicine (x) Ted Lvl=1 Wlvl=3 Rune=???? (Can't be used) Robe, Medicine Explore town. I'd definately stop at the Weapon Shop and buy the following.... Headbands for the four who can use them, Wooden Shoes for Gremio, Pahn, and Cleo or Ted (choose). Before you enter the castle, save at either the Inn or your Diary. You can also go outside town and build gold and levels for a while (I usually do). Just beware Mosquitoes which can poison you. Walking around will work this out of your system when your HP gets low enough, but it's dangerous. You can reach level-5 pretty quickly, higher if you're patient. I usually build until I have enough gold (bits, whatever..) to equip with the best armor in Gregminster (Excluding the Wing Boots). Now save and head for the castle after staying at the Inn to restore to max. Talk to Commander Kraze. Answer Northeast to his question. Once outsie the castle again, head East and talk to the boy with the Dragon. Off to Magician's Isle! **---MAGICIAN'S ISLE---** <> Medicine <> Medicine, Leather Coat, Fire Crystal Follow the path to the Magician's Tower, grabbing the two chests. One is not completely visible. You will meet a boy named Luc and be forced to fight a golem (minor boss). Climb the tower and talk to Leknatt. Follow her and recieve the Astral Conclusions. Walk back out and you'll recieve the Fire Crystal. Before you go to Kraze and coplete your mission, go into town and do your town business. Make sure and attatch the Fire Crystal to Cleo. You might want to buy some antitoxen as well (one should be enough for now) Talk to Kraze and recieve your next mission. Then save and head off for Rockland. **---ROCKLAND---** <> Holy Crystal, Bandanna, ? Pot, Pointed Hat When I list (critters drop ow) it means that this is on the over- world nearby, and not in the town or location itself. Rockland is East of Gregminster. If you get a Holy Crystal, attatch it to someone and you'll be able to hold down the CIRCLE button and dash in towns and dungeons. Roam around and talk to people. Before I go to the big house up North I usually do a few things.... Upgrade all Wooden Shoes to Leggings. Sneak off to Lenankamp South of Gregminster and sharpen everyone's weapons to level 2-3. You can easily win gold by playing Marco's game. Play the lowest bet and it's pretty easy to win every time. 1200 bits to sharpen to level-2 and 3600 bits total to sharpen to level 3. Now go to Grady's Mansion and talk to him. The answer you give to Ted's question doesn't matter. Off to Mount Seifu in the East. It looks like a trail leading up a mountain. **---MT. SEIFU---** <> Medicine, Shoulder Pads, Pointed Hat <> Boots, Medicine, Def. Rune Piece, ? Pot, 1000 bits, Medicine, Leggings, Escape Talisman, Thun. Rune Piece This is an excellent place to collect gold. Make your way through the first cave, collecting 8 treasure chests. Use the Defense Rune Piece on whoever you want to have increased defense abilities on. You'll come to a large room with a critter sitting in the middle of it, confront it. You're not meant to beat her, so just use regular weapon attacks and don't let anyone fall to 0 HP. Watch the sequence and continue on. Your answer to the question doesn't matter. Collect the treasure chest and save at the Blue Orb. Continue up and confront the bandits. Fight and capture them. You'll appear back at the bottom of the mountain. Head back to Rockland. Before turning in the bandits, I like to power up a bit. First earn or gamble for enough bits (10200) to get Cleo a pair of Wing Boots in Gregminster. Also sneak down to Lenankamp and buy Brass Armor and Pointed Hats for those that can use them, except Ted. Attatch that Thunder Rune Piece to your Hero's weapon at the Blacksmith as well. Appraise any ? Pots that you have found. Most of the time, they'll only be worth what you paid to appraise them, but sometimes you'll get something more valuable. It never hurts to sharpen another notch either. Mt. Seifu is a great place to earn the gold for all this, and Marco is also availiable. It's a good time to get stockpiled for later adventures. This game is constant hurling of gold to merchants. Before heading into Grady's Mansion, beat the crap out of the Imperial Guards hitting the boy. Now go into the Mansion and watch the sequence. Then head back to Gregminster. Ted will leave with Kanaan. Go to your house and watch the event. Go downstairs when you regain control. Use the heroic answers and accept the rune. Allow Ted to turn himself in, and head for the Inn once outside. Head downstairs. Neither answer matters. Victor will help you out. Go find him again and agree to his plan. Victor will join. (5) Victor Lvl=7 Wlvl=3 Leather Coat, Boots. Head for the gate. Then head South to Lenankamp. Head to the Inn and rest for the night. Search the clock and follow Odessa. Answer doesn't matter here. Hed to the exit and talk to the guy on the stairs. Be truthful and agree to help. Equip Victor and head to Rockland. Put him in the front row, as he has only a short range weapon. **---GRADY'S MANSION---** <> <> Medicine, Brass Armor, ? Ornament, 1000 & 700 bits Enter all the rooms. Some of the white ones to the side are hard to see here, so look carefully. You'll have to fight guards all the way through. Grab the four treasure chests and free Varkas and Sydonia. Return to Lenankamp, do any town business (perhaps sharpening to level 4), then go to the hideout. Choose to help when asked. Odessa will join you. (x) Odessa Lvl=6 Wlvl=5 Rune=Wind Head Gear, Tunic, Medicine. Go out and equip Odessa, then head for Mt. Tigerwolf. The mountain is Northwest across a bridge. It looks just like Mt. Seifu did on the map. **---MT. TIGERWOLF---** <> Water Rune Piece, Def. Rune Piece, Karate Unif. <> Circlet, Medicine, Gloves, Wind Rune Piece, ? Pot, Medicine, Clone Crystal, 1000 bits. Climb the mountain, collecting the four treasure chests and you will come to an Inn. Drink the tea, you don't have any choice. Continue up the mountain after the event. Collect the four treasure chests as you climb and emerge onto the overworld again. Head North to Saraday. Check the Item Shops selection (I'll explain why later), then go to the Inn. The Inn is the biggest of the buildings in town. Talk to Odessa. You'll deliver the blueprints eventually. Your responses don't really matter. Head back down Mt. Tigurwolf. If you want, hang around the mountain and try to collect some of those Rune Pieces. This is one of the rare places where monsters drop them. Multiple Water Rune Pieces attatched to a person's weapon will make them a healing dynamo. You get 5 points of healing per round for every one attatched. Here's something you might wish to do before returning to Lenankamp (Note: Huge Cheat!) Get at least 10,000 GP. Go to Rockland and play Marco in the game, betting the 10,000. Pick the center cup and you'll win! Quit and then talk to Marco again. Repeat the process, the coin will be under the center cup every time you do this! Gather yourself up about 100,000 or so bits to supply yourself well in the next area. Before entering the Inn at Lenankamp, take any items you don't want to lose off Odessa. Then enter the Inn. Watch the events and the Death of Odessa. Comply with her requests and head out for the Fortress of Kwaba to the South. Your fake name doesn't matter, you'll get through. Forgive Gremio after you do. Remember the guy you see on the other side of the fortress. You'll be coming back for Chandler later. Now go South and enter town. There are four people in this town who will eventuall join your army: Onil, Marie, Antonio, and Mathiu. Remember them. Talk to the man outside and go where he directs you. Then come back and talk to him again. Follow him to the house and talk to him. Then go back to his house after the event. Choose to help, doesn't matter what you say when asked who you are. Finally go inside and talk to Mathiu again and accept the position as the leader of the Liberation Army. Now head South to the town of Kaku. There are five people here who will join the army eventually: Tai-Ho, Yam-Koo, Camille, Sergei, and Meg. Remember they're here. Check out the item selection and purchase some new armor. Talk to Camille in the bar at the South end of town and she'll join (6) Camille Lvl=9 Wlvl=4 Bandanna, Tunic, Medicine. Now talk to the barkeep and go downstairs. Accept Tai-Ho's challenge. You may have to try several times before you win. And I've not found any foolproof way. Just keep at it until you beat him. You might have to go out and earn more bits repeatedly. **-Note:-** <> ? Ornament, Feather, Holy Crystal If you used the gold cheat at Marco, sneak to Kouan to the South and buy the best armor you can there before playing Tai-Ho's game. It's not a bad idea to buy the following for Tai-Ho when he joins you shortly from now either: Karate Suit, Pointed Helm, (Accessories). When you finally beat him, meet Tai-Ho at the docks. He will sail you to Toram Castle. Once there, he will join you. (7) Tai-Ho Lvl=10 Wlvl=3 Headband, Tunic, Medicine Do whatever you can to equip him and sharpen his weapon, then return to Toran Castle. **---TORAN CASTLE---** <> Antitoxin, Medicine, Def. Rune Piece <> Toe Shoes, Antitoxin, 2000 bits, Power Rune Piece, Pointed Hat, Medicine, Antitoxen, Wind Crystal, Hazy Crystal Run through the Castle and collect the seven treasure chests before the blue save orb. Then save and continue on, collecting two crystals from chests in secret passages. One is easy to find, the other is not so easy. Once inside the castle itself, make your way to the basement. Fight the Dragon, flames work well. You can now name the Castle you have taken as your own. Yam-Koo and Mathiu now officially join the Liberation Army. Leknaat will appear and give you the Stone Tablet of Promise, listing the 108 Stars. She will also give you Luc's services. (8) Mathiu *NPC* (9) Yam Koo Lvl=9 Wlvl=3 Tunic (10) Luc Lvl=12 Wlvl=3 Rune=Wind Guard Robe, Speed Ring Watch the rest of the sequence and put Luc and Yam Koo into your party. Equip them in town. Now it's time to gather some more recruits. Go back to Kaku and into the tavern where you met Tai-Ho. Talk to Sergei and he'll join, installing an elevator in your castle. (11) Sergei Lvl=4 Wlvl=4 Robe, Gloves Gaspar is downstairs, but he won't join yet. Neither will Meg who is outside the Inn. Go to Seika now and talk to Marie at the Inn. She will join and open an Inn in your castle. You'll also find Onil here in one of the houses. Talk to her and she'll join. (12) Marie *NPC* (13) Onil *NPC* Antonio won't join yet, so head North to Kwaba Fortress. Talk to Chandler and he'll join. He'll open a Hardware Store in your Castle. Any Item Shop you visit will increase Chandler's inventory. This is why I say to check the selection in each town's shops. (14) Chandler *NPC* Now you're ready to go on your mission. Head South to Kuon. Do your standard exploration. Lorelai won't join yet, and neither will Krin. Try to get into Lepant's house, you'll be blocked. Talk to Krin again. Listen to his plan. Now go to Lepant's house and talk to Krin. He'll help you sneak into the house. **---LEPANT'S HOUSE---** <> Pointed Hat, ? Pot <> Shoulder Pads, Medicine, 700 Bits, Counter Crystal, Speed Rune Piece, Fire Rune Piece, Leather Armor, Medicine, White Paint Cross the rafters and grab the chest, go out the door and into the one just South. Talk to Rock and he'll join, opening a Storage Vault in your castle. (15) Rock *NPC* Grab 2 chests and continue on. You'll have to walk where no robots are facing you to get through the next room and grab the chest. Continue on, grabbing five more chests. Meet Jupo and talk to him. Then continue on. The next room is a big roulette wheel. The object is to stop it with the X button so it lets you off on the other side, but until you can manage that, the ? spot on the wheel will give you the Dragon Seal Incense the first time you hit it, and Defense Rune Pieces thereafter. You can also win medicine and small XP gains (or losses). Don't leave Lepant's house until you get that Dragon Seal Incense. It heals 50 HP on everyone when used in battle and is one of the most useful items in the entire game. When you finally make it through, collect the sword. Now head back out of the house and go to the Inn. Talk to Lepant. Go ahead and give him the sword back. He'll find out his wife has been taken prisinor. Before you go to the commander's house, get some equipment for Lepant. A couple of good accessories should be enough (Amulet, Gauntlet) and/or a Steel Shield. You might Save as well. Now enter the commander's house. **---COMMANDER'S HOUSE---** <> <> Water Rune Piece, ? Ornament Watch Lepant smash the four guards. Grab the chest in the room South of where Lepant goes. Now go talk to Lepant and fight the guards. Equip Lepant with what you have and put him in the front row. Head up the stairs. Grab the chest from the West room, then enter the Eastern door and beat the guards. You can either choose to kill Kraze or let him go. I'll leave it up to you, as I don't think it has any bearing. Pahn will apologize if you talk to him. Accept and he'll rejoin you. Talk to Lepant and his wife, both will join you. (16) Lepant Lvl=18 Wlvl=5 Brass Armor, Wood Shield, Medicine (17) Eileen Lvl=13 Wlvl=4 Rune=Earth Robe, Star Earrings Back at your castle, you'll find that Varkas and Sydonia have both joined up. Go ahead and have the banquet. Walk outside the banquet hall and fight the assasin. Watch the sequence. After checking you'll find that Juppo, Krin, and Giovanni have all also joined the army. (18) Varkas Lvl=16 Wlvl=15 Brass Armor, Leggings (19) Sydonia Lvl=14 Wlvl=6 Bandanna, Leather Coat (20) Juppo Lvl=10 Wlvl=4 Rune=Trick Pointed Hat, Tunic (21) Krin Lvl=7 Wlvl=2 Tunic, Escape Talisman (22) Giovanni *NPC* Now go to Marie's Inn and save the game. Use your new elevator! Walk outside the Castle and discover Kirkis. Agree to help him and he will join you. (23) Kirkis Lvl=15 Wlvl=5 Bandanna, Brass Armor Before you start on your mission, put Juppo in the party and go to Kaku. Talk to Meg ouside the Inn and she'll join. (24) Meg Lvl=16 Wlvl=6 Guard Robe Now , head on your mission. Southeast of Kouan is the villiage of the great forest. Go into the Blacksmith shop and talk to the guy behind the counter. Maas will join you and you will now have a Blacksmith in your castle. In the house right behind this shop you'll find Sansuke. Talk to him and he'll join you, building a bath in your castle where you can display antiques. (I've never really found any special purpose to this, but I know that if you load all the spots with Graffiti and Hex Dolls, some animation occurs. Fun to watch. Let me know if you see other effects with other antiques in the slots) (25) Maas Lvl=18 Wlvl=3 Leather Coat (26) Sansuke Lvl=1 Wlvl=5 Tunic Check the selection at the items shop, and save at the Inn. This next part is tough. At the Eastern edge of town is the elfin trail into the Great Forest. **---GREAT FOREST---** <> Medicine, ? Painting, Wood Shield, Necklace <> Gauntlet, Escape Talisman, Needle, Water Rune Piece, Fortune Rune Piece. You'll only be able to follow this path when an elf is in the party. As you cross the first log on the trail, Viki will appear behind you. Recruit her for your army. She'll be in the basement of your castle (2nd basement). Talking to her will allow you to teleport to many places that you have visited before. (27) Viki *NPC* Continue on. Two chests are in somewhat hidden areas nearby to the East. After these, continue on, grabbing three more chests and you will arrive in Kobold. There's really nothing to see or do in Kobold after the event, so head out toward the Elf Villiage. It is Southeast of Kobold and looks like a Christmas tree. **-Note:-** <> Guard Robe, Medicine, Wood Shield, Necklace, Fire Crystal Check the shops, and the vast amount of rudeness present after the event in the square. The object is to go to the elder's house, but right now is where I usually take my first Power Trip. [[POWER TRIP]] ~~Level-20 ~~Armor-Max Kuon/Elf Villiage ~~Helm-Max Kuon ~~Accesory-At least +4 ~~Sharpen-5 ~~Rune-N/A ~~Location: Great Forest, Overworld near Elf Villiage Power Trip done? Time to move on. Go to the Elder's house and talk to him. Watch the events and land in jail. Talk to Valeria and Stallion. Walk to the East door for more events and your release. Agree with the request. As you get ready to exit the village, Valeria will appear and join the party. (28) Valeria Lvl-27 Wlvl=7 Rune=Falcon Brass Armor,Wood Shield,Medicine Get her outfitted with good equipment, your next journey will be a long and dangerous one. Put her in the front row, as she has only a short range weapon. Head West and North to the Dwarf Trail. **---DWARF TRAIL---** <> Karate Uniform, Boar Crystal, ? Painting <> Feather, Karate Uniform, Sacrificial Buddha, Guard Robe, Killer Crystal, Medicine, Fortune Rune Piece Make your way through the first section of the Dwarf Trail collecting five treasures. Then go up the East ladder (one of the 5 treasures is atop the West ladder) Continue on, using the save globe if you want to. Collect two more treasures. Emerge on the overworld near the Dwarf Village. **-Note:-** <> Fire Crystal In the Dwarf Village, check the shops and the people. In the Blacksmith shop you'll find Meese. Talk to him and he'll join. He is a more talented blacksmith than Maas. (29) Meese Lvl=20 Wlvl=9 Leather Coat You can sharpen your weapons farther than 5 here. Go to the house of the Chief and talk to him. Give it a try when asked. Now you'll have access to the Dwarf Vault up North. If you have the gold, Armor up your current party here, and perhaps sharpen some weapons. Then go on to the vault. **---DWARF VALT---** <> Escape Talisman, Fur Cape, Half Helmet, Trick Crystal <> Sunbeam Crystal, Medicine, Blue Ribbon, Magic Robe, Skill Rune Piece, Pointed Hat, Medicine, Mega Medicine, 5000 Bits, Escape Talisman, Def. Rune Piece Make your way to the maze. Collect the three treasures here and then exit. The maze isn't that difficult. Make your way to the next puzzle. Ride the platform straight down. Ride the one to the East. Ride the one South. Ride the one West. Ride the one South. Collect the chest. Get back on the platform. When it stops, take the West on and then the South one. Exit the puzzle. Make your way to the next maze. Collect the three treasures and exit. In the next puzzle, step on the switches in this order (Note that W stands for West and E stands for East)...... WEEWWEE Then continue through the door. Collect the two treasure chest on the small side passages, then continue on to the North. Collect the chest in the far Southwest. Then take the central stairs in the South. At the top of this passage, you'll confront a boss. Defeat him and continue on. Collect the chest up the Western side passage and continue on. Grab the Running Water Root, and your quest is complete. Before you go give the root to the Chief, here are some things you might want to do. Any town business first off (You're probably overloaded with items). I prefer to put all but the lowest power equipment in the vault to give to new recruits something half decent for starting equipment. You also might wish to buy a few Magic Robes from the Elves. They'll be useful later and difficult to obtain for a while. Now give the root to the Dwarf King. Make your way back down the Dwarf Trail. Watch the Event. Stop at the Village of Elves. Watch the event which happens here. Exit and then walk directly back into the village. Talk to the person you find here now. Templeton will join you, giving you the Suiko Map. Save at the blue orb. (30) Templeton *NPC* Now go to Kobold. Watch the events which ensue. May as well let Valeria turn herself in, as you have no choice. Kuromimi will join you. (31) Kuromimi Lvl=26 Wlvl=6 Headband,Brass Armor,Wooden Shield,Medicine Fight the guards. One good Dancing Flames spell will nuke the lot of them instantly, if you have someone in your party who has the spell. After the events, the Liberation Army will arrive to rescue you. Sylvina and Stallion will appear. Humphrey will also have joined while you were away. (32) Humphrey Lvl=23 Wlvl=7 Brass Armor, Cape Now move your troops forward and defeat Kwanda's army. Refer to the instructions to know which strategy to use against the enemies. Use your thieves to check the enemy plans. Don't forget to try and use your merchants to make some of the enemy forces turn traitor. Kwanda's attack willl always be first, so use Magic as your first tactic. After that check with your thieves or guess. If you really mess up, reset and try again. Magic attack was always the enemies second tactic when I went through, but I think the major battles have a random element. Thus you may come across another tactic. You'll just have to keep trying until you don't lose many of your troops. Once you beat the army, Kwanda will go to the Burning Mirror and prepare to fry your army. Unfortunately for him, the Dwarf Chief blasts it to bits. Your party will be chosen for you to enter Pannu Yukuta. I suggest you exit and go somewhere and save before entering, though. Make sure you adjust your formation to allow everyone to attack. You might want to equip Kuromimi before entering as well. Note that Kobolds are the only ones who can equip those Necklaces you probably keep getting after battles. ::---PANNU YUKUTA---:: <> Chaos Shield, Mangosh, Leather Armor, Emblem <> Gale Crystal, Old Book Vol. 1, Medicine, Thunder Rune Piece, Steel Shield, Gauntlet, Half Armor. The right door has a maid who will let you rest. Up the stairs and North from here you can find a chest in a room. There is another in the room North of this one. Another can be found in a room to the North- West. Go out the door in the Southwest for another. Follow the walkway and go down the stairs for another. Go out the Southern door and you'll be back where you started. Remember you can go to the lady in the right door and rest if you need to. Now go through the central door. A room in the East has a chest. There is another behind the Northwestern door. Now climb the stairs. Then climb the next set of stairs which are in the South. Proceed North through the door and fight the Dragon. Use the Falcon Rune for guranteed damage. After you beat the Dragon, proceed through the door North, up the stairs. Before going through the door to the South, make sure the Hero is healed to max. You'll face Kwanda in single combat. Just beat on him with the attack option. If you are properly armored and healed, you'll win with ease. Talk to Kwanda after the events occur. Say something is wrong when given a choice. Then tell Kwanda you want him to join. He will agree to join the Liberation Army. (33) Kwanda Lvl=30 Wlvl=6 Half Helmet, Leather Armor Watch the events which ensue. The Kobolds will show up and show they have their minds back. Sylvina and Stallion will join the Liberation Army now as well. Valeria and Kuromimi will officially join as well. (34) Sylvina Lvl=12 Wlvl=5 Robe, Medicine (35) Stallion Lvl=16 Wlvl=6 Rune=True Holy Brass Arm.,Wing Boots,Esc. Tal. Now is the time to make your army grow. Get yourself 10,000 bits and head for the Kobold Villiage. Check the Stores as usual. Then enter the Southern House. Gon will join when you talk to him. Then go to the Inn (Which is very cheap) and talk to the Tiger guy. Fu Su Lu will join if you pay his tab. (36) Gon Lvl=26 Wlvl=7 Headband, Leather Coat (37) Fu Su Lu Lvl=34 Wlvl=6 Leather Coat, Fur Cape Rubi is also here, but he won't join you until Kirkis reaches at least level-30. Return to your castle. Go to the War Room and watch the events. Exit the floor and return. Put Lepant in the party and go talk to Marie. Randomly she will say she needs help cooking for everyone. Keep waiting for her to say it. When she does, go to Seika and recruit Antonio at the Inn. (I'm not sure Marie has to say this for him to join) Then talk to the guy talking to the girl at the table. Lepant will grab Sheena by the ear and force him to join the army. (38) Antonio Lvl=8 Wlvl=2 Tunic, Gloves (39) Sheena Lvl=29 Wlvl=6 Rune=Lightning Tunic Now go back to Kaku. Go to the Bar where you met Tai-Ho. Gaspar is still here. Win 5000 bits from him and he'll join you. (40) Gaspar *NPC* Now go to the house with the rebel gurards outside it. Talk to Flick and agree to his request to join your forces. Return to your castle. Save your game and talk to Flick. Say to prepare to depart for battle. The fortress of Garan isn't that well defended. If you didn't lose too many troops in the last battle, you should outnumber them. Fight this battle, keep at it until you win with good results. You'll be taken immediately into the battle with General Milich. You will lose this battle badly no matter what you do. Flick will not completely accept you as commander, but he will join the party, and the army. May as well let Gremio come along, you really have no choice. (41) Flick Lvl=34 Wlvl=9 Rune=Lightning Bandanna,Brass Arm.,W. Shield,Cape Exit the fortress and immediately walk back in. There will be two people here now. One is Quincy, who will not join for a while. The other is Kai, who will join when you talk to him. (42) Kai Lvl=21 Wlvl=8 Rune=Hazy Headband, Karate Uniform Now head to the first town which is West and North. Go into the Inn. Talk to the old woman here. Recruit her and take the two chests. One is Mega Medicine and the other is the Blinking Mirror. The Blinking mirror can be used to teleport you back to your castle. It can be used an infinite number of times. You should place this in the Hero's inventory since he will always be in the party. (43) Hellion Lvl=30 Wlvl=3 Rune=Mother Earth Guard Robe Check out the item selection to add it to Chandler's inventory. Gen, Kamandol, and Eikei are also here, but they won't join you yet. **-Note:-** <> Nameless Jar, Magic Robe, Needle, Head Gear Now head to the town due South. Check the shop inventories as usual. Upstairs in the Inn you'll find Lotte. We'll come back for her later, but talk to her twice while you're here. At the appraiser's shop is Jabba. He won't join unless you can get a Nameless Jar, which critters in the nearby overworld will drop on occasion. But you should talk to Jabba and talk to the guy right outside his shop twice while you are here. Now head off to the town in the North-Central area of the map. Talk to the guy at the Armor Shop and recruit him. Now check out the shop inventory with the new shopkeep. If the Hero isn't wearing Toe Shoes, buy him a pair and equip them. Go to the Inn and talk to the dancer. Recruit her into the army. Now go to the Runemaster's shop and recruit Jeane. Chapman will open an armor shop in your castle, and Jeane will open a Runemaster's shop. (44) Chapman *NPC* (45) Mina Lvl=14 Wlvl=6 Magic Robe, Toe Shoes (46) Jeane *NPC* Qlon, Esmarelda, Kimberly, and Tesla are also here, but they won't join you yet. Do any other town business and talk to the merchant looking guy at the North end of town. Then teleport back to your Castle with the Blinkng Mirror. Have Viki Teleport you to Kaku. Chase the cat into the Southeastern corner of town and press X to catch it. This may take you a few tries to accomplish. Now return to your castle and have Viki dispatch you to Rikon. Go upstairs and talk to Lotte at the Inn and she'll join you. (47) Lotte Lvl=22 Wlvl=4 Rune=Earth Guard Robe Now go to Seika and return to Mathiu's house. Apple will be here and she will join the army. (48) Apple *NPC* Now is where I usually take my second Power Trip. [[POWER TRIP]] ~~Level-27 ~~Helm-Head Gear ~~Armor-Half Armor ~~Sheild-Steel ~~Accesory-At least one at +8 ~~Rune-Yes ~~Sharpen-7 ~~Location: Pannu Yakuta Now that you're powered up, have Viki dipatch you to Rikon. Get on the boat and keep ailing South until you can go no farther, then go West. (Look at your map and you should be able to see the blinking dot where you are supposed to be going) When you reach the rapids, turn around and head back to Rikon. Now head for Teien. Visit with Gen in the Northwestern house and he'll join. He will then persuade Kamandol to join as well. Remember to tell Gen you need his help to beat the rapids. (49) Gen Lvl=23 Wlvl=9 Headband, Karate Uniform (50) Kamandol Lvl=22 Wlvl=3 Guard Robe Now head back to Rikon. After the events, exit the Inn and you'll have your new boat. Sail back and cross the rapids. Dock at Liukan's Hermitage. Grab the Black Paint from the chest in the cabin and then talk to the old man here. He'll be taken by Milich before you can persuade him to help you. Head back to your castle. Talk to Mathiu. He will give you a letter to deliver to Kimberly in Antei, so teleport there. Go to the house just North of the Inn and talk to Kimberly. After some events, she'll join. Now go to the big house just North of Kimberly's and talk to the guy here. After some arguing and lying, he'll join you as well. (51) Kimberly Lvl=17 Wlvl=8 Leather Coat, Wooden Shoes (52) Tesla *NPC* Now return to your castle. Talk to Mathiu. He'll give you some papers Tesla and Kimberly have forged to get you into Soniere prison. I highly recommend you put Kai in your party (Make sure he's properly equipped if you didn't Power Trip him). If you've Power Tripped him, his unite attack with the Hero will nuke almost every critter in Soniere prison before they even get a chance to attack. I also higly recommend saving. Now head out for Soniere Prison. It's South of Antei and West of Rikon. **---SONEIRE PRISON---** <> Opal, Ninja Suit <> Silver Necklace, Old Book Vol. 6, Antitoxin, Half Helm, Sound Set 0 Grab the two treasure chest on the first floor and save at the globe if you want. Then proceed deeper into the dungeon. When you reach the cell level, grab the antitoxin and proceed on. You can't enter any of the cells on this floor. Beat all of the guards at the doords to proceed and collect the two treasures. Then talk to Liukan and he'll come with you. Now, before you leave, keep fighting monsters until one of them drops an Opal. This one of only two places (The other being Scarliteca) where you can acquire them. It may take a long time, but do it anyway. Once you have the Opal, head back up to the exit of the prison. You'll run into Milich again. Nothing you do or say will prevent what will happen next. Gremio will sacrifice himself so that the rest of you might live. After some events, you'll be in your room at the castle. Run downstairs and save, then go talk to Mathiu. It's time to make Milich pay! Choose to attack him now. (Note: The Soul Eater will have increased to level-2 now) Liukan will also join the army at this point. (53) Liukan Lvl=19 Wlvl=12 Guard Robe,2 Medicine,2 Mega Medicine,Sac. Buddha Fight your battle carefully, taking advantage of all resources. The first two attacks are usually Charge, then Milich's Magic. Once you've defeated Milich's army, it's time to take him out! Enter Castle Scarliteca **---SCARLITECA---** <> Opal <> Red Paint, Window Setting 1, Magic Rune Piece, Magic Robe, Spark Crystal After you enter the castle, head to the Western door. Grab the chest and go through the Northern door. Walk up to the portrait of Milich and choose "He's a victim too..". Go down the staircase and collect the two treasures. Now head to the Eastern side of the floor. Ivanov is here, but he won't join you yet. Collect the chest South of him and then head upstairs. Collect the chest from the West. Kasios is in the East, but she won't join you yet. Now walk out of the Southern doors. Say "This man is not at fault", regardless of how much you actually want to slaughter this pansy. Let him join the army as well. Believe me, if it wasn't necessary for the 108 ending, I wouldn't do it. After a few more events, you'll return to your castle. (54) Milich Lvl=32 Wlvl=6 Pointed Hat, Guard Robe, Rose Broach Save your game. Now, whatever you do, don't talk to Mathiu yet. Get Pahn in your party by talking to Sanchez if he's not already in the party. Sharpen his claws to at least level-9. Make sure he's equipped with Head Gear, a Ninja Suit, and at least one Guard Ring. Now go somewhere and crank him up to level-30 (Scarliteca is good). This is the minimum I would have him at before you continue on. Save your game again, and head up to the war room. Talk to Mathiu and Kasumi. Kasumi will join the army immediately. (55) Kasumi Lvl=38 Wlvl=6 Rune=Shrike Headband, Karate Uniform After the events, agree with Mathiu's plan and engage your father in battle. You are meant to lose this one badly. Use magic to attack his forces three times. Now you'll be fleeing back to your castle. Teo will pursue you. Pahn will say he'll hold them off while you escape. Let him since you don't have any choice. You'll engage Teo in single combat. Just defend every time. If you've powered up enough, Teo will end up losing by using desperate attacks. This is the biggest point you will need to get the 108 ending. Save your game. Go talk to Mathiu, then go rest in your room. I don't think it matters what you say to Leknaat, but I always say "perhaps". Get up and go talk to Flick. Walk down the stairs and then back up. Go to Sanchez or Mathiu and gather a party which includes Tai-Ho and Milich. Also get your Opal from wherever it is. Walk outside and talk to Gen and Kamandol. Now take your new ship for a cruise. Make your way to Scarliteca. Go inside and find Ivanov and let him join. (56) Ivanov *NPC* (57) Kasios *NPC* Now go upstairs and find Kasios. She'll join as well. Now make your way to Antei. Talk to the little boy out front and he'll join. Go upstairs in the Inn and talk to Esmarelda. Since you have an Opal now, she'll join. (58) Qlon *NPC* (59) Esmarelda *NPC* Now wander around on the overworld in this area. Keep fighting until you acquire the Nameless Jar from the Holly fairies. This may take a long time, so if your patience wears thin, come back and do it later. The sooner you get this done, the sooner you'll have a full compliment of shops in your castle to utilize. Once you have the jar, take it to Rikon and have Jabba try to appraise it. Recruit him into the army. (60) Jabba *NPC* Now head back to your castle and make your way North in the boat. If you want to, before you leave, gather and purchase all the paint you can and go talk to Ivanov. He'll begin working on your mural. If nothing else, it gets these items out of your inventory and out of the vault. Once on the boat you should see a blinking location in the Northwest sitting on a harbor. That's where you're headed. Wander around Kirov. You'll find Melodye, but she won't join you yet. Walk into the two houses connected by the clothesline and search the stew pots. Then go to the large house South of them. Lester will be here and he will join you. (61) Lester Lvl=13 Wlvl=3 Leather Coat Now talk to the washing woman. She'll join you if you can get her some soap. A guy North of her will give you some soap in trade for some Soy Sauce. A guy West of him will give you Soy Sauce for some Salt. A girl in the Southeast corner will give you Salt for a Yardstick. A guy at the Inn will give you a Yard Stick for some Sugar. Fortunately, Sugar is on sale at the Item shop. Buy the Sugar and deliver the items to all the people who want them and Sarah will join you. (62) Sarah Lvl=32 Wlvl=2 Tunic Don't forget to check the shop inventories so they'll be added to Chapman and Chandler's own at your Castle. Now go to the Inn and talk to the guy in blue. You have to beat him at a game of memory to get him to join you. I find the easiest game to win is the first one. But whichever one you play, beat him and he'll join. (63) Georges *NPC* Now head North of town to the next location. **-Note:-** <> **---KALTEKKA---** <> Rose Brooch, ? Pot <> Earth Rune Peice, Old Book Vol. 8, ? Painting, Sound Crystal You'll find Leon here, but he won't join yet. Collect the treasures from the houses and make your way to the exit in the North. Right by the exit you'll find Blackman. Avoid stepping on his seedlings and talk to him. He'll join you. If you accidently step on a plant, walk in a house, then come back out and talk to him again. (64) Blackman Lvl=39 Wlvl=3 Leather Coat Now head North to the Secret Factory. Watch the events, then say "Hey, it's Ledon and Kessler". Then say yes. Talk to Kessler and Ledon and they'll join you. (65) Kessler Lvl=16 Wlvl=9 Leather Coat (66) Ledon *NPC* Make sure you have 20,000 bits, then enter the factory. Talk to the man in the Northwest corner. He'll join for that 20 grand. (67) Kage Lvl=41 Wlvl=9 Karate Uniform Collect the Chest in the Southeast, then talk to Mose. You'll obtain the Fire Spears, so head back to Kirov. Go talk to Melodye. Give here the Sound Crystal and she'll join your army. Now enter the house where you found Lester. Talk to the guy here and after some events, he will join you. Outside the house, you'll load the Fire Spears. Mose and Ronnie Bell will now join you as well. (68) Melodye *NPC* (69) Kun To *NPC* (70) Mose Lvl=23 Wlvl=8 Brass Armor (71) Ronnie Bell Lvl=27 Wlvl=7 Rune=Hate Headband, Karate Uniform Head back to your castle. Go downstairs, rest and save. Go to the war room and talk to Mathiu. You'll now battle Teo's army again. Use Mathiu and charge up your charge power. The only thing you can do is charge with your Fire Spears if you want to win this battle. You might try your merchants at some point, though. Once you win, you'll face Teo and his two Generals. He demands single combat with the Hero. No matter what you say, you will have to fight him. Once you defeat him, he will die and the Soul Eater will level up. Alen and Grenseal will also join your army. (72) Alen Lvl=29 Wlvl=7 Rune=Rage Leather Armor, Steel Sheild (73) Grenseal Lvl=29 Wlvl=7 Rune=Thunder Leather Armor, Steel Sheild You'll return to your castle. Go to the war room and talk to Lepant and attack the fortress of Lorimar. Nobody will be there. Choose your party after the event. Exit the fortress and immediately go back in. You'll find Kirke there, so recruit him. (74) Kirke Lvl=35 Wlvl=5 Leather Coat Time to pick up a couple of other characters which have been skipped so far. Put Kirkis in your party. In the area around Loimar, level up to 40 with your Hero and Kirkis. **-Note:-** <> Guard Ring, Full Helmet, Master Robe Now teleport to Tien. Talk to the bald guy way over in the Eastern side of town. Recruit Eikei to join you. (75) Eikei Lvl=44 Wlvl=6 Bandanna, Brass Armor Now go to the Kobold Villiage. Talk to the elf at the back of the Inn and he'll join now. (76) Rubi Lvl=44 Wlvl=6 Bandanna, Brass Armor Now go to Kouan. Talk to the girl at the Inn and she'll join your army as well. (77) Lorelai Lvl=18 Wlvl=5 Headband, Tunic, Medicine Now go to the Warriors Village and watch the events. Wandering around town, you'll find Window and Moose. They won't join you at this point. You'll find Marco, though. Play her 10,000 bit game and choose the center cup. You'll win and she'll join. (78) Marco *NPC* Check the shop selections, then go to the Elder's house. Talk to the Elder and watch the events. Talk to Tenegar and watch the events. Head North and watch the events. Talk to Victor and watch more events. Exit the house for more events. You're not meant to win the battle with Neclord, so don't waste any valuable items. Talk to the Elder when you wake up and you'll find out where you need to go next. Head for Qlon Temple **---QLON TEMPLE---** <> ? Painting, Escape Talisman, Full Armor, Mega Medicine, Speed Rune Peice. <> Crimson Cape, Medicine, Flowing Crystal, Window Crystal, Head Gear, Old Book Vol. 2, 5000 bits, Escape Talisman, War Scroll, Medicine, Silverlet, Skill Rune Peice, Mega Medicine, Mega Medicine, Boar Crystal, Champion's Crystal You'll find Zen and Hugo at the temple, but they won't join you yet. Talk to Morgan and he'll join you. Talk to Fukien, the head of the temple. He'll join you and lead you to the cave behind the temple. (79) Morgan Lvl=35 Wlvl=6 Rune=Counter Headband, Karate Uniform (80) Fukien Lvl=19 Wlvl=9 Rune=Ressurection Leather Coat There's a save point to the East just as you enter. Head through the cave to the stairs. Use the stairs you see in the South and grab the chest. Go back down the stairs and head East. When the path splits North and South, go North. Follow the cave and grab the two chests. Backtrack out of this cavern and head South at the fork this time. Through the opening, due South, is a secret passage. Take it and get the chest. Backtrack and follow the normal path. Take the chest up on the ledge. Now go to the cave opening in the Northeast corner. Grab the chest and head back out. Follow the path South now. There's a chest just past the stairs you see leading North. Now take those stairs, a chest in the next area, and the stairs down you see. There is a secret passage nearly due South once you exit the small cavern the stairs are in. Follow this and discover Crowley. he won't join you yet, but remember where he is. Make your way back out and head East. Take the Northern route first and grab the chest. Now head out and take the Southern path. When you emerge in the new area, just follow the path until you see acave and a path farther North. Take the cave door first and grab the two chests here. Then head back and take the path North, which leads to some stairs. Follow the path. Check the first doorway for two chests. Continue on to the next doorway and use the stairs. Simply follow the path to the stairs. Events will occur and you will appear somewhere else. You can't enter any of the doors, so head North. Follow the boy who keeps running from you. When you catch him, it doesn't matter how you answer. Talk to the old man and boy when the townspeople come out of their hiding places. Follow them into the house and take the Mega Medicine from the chest. Now talk to the old man again. Watch all the events, go back to the old man's house. Follow the path around the village and collect a chest. Check another house in town for a chest before climbing the tower. I don't think it matters whether you take Ted or leave him. Head South to reach the Star Dragon Sword again. This time it will accept Victor as it's wielder. Now exit the cave. Once back to the temple, talk to Zen. He will ask for three colors of flower seeds in return for joining. Remember that. Enter the temple and talk to Hugo the librairian. Because you have the War Scroll, he will join. (81) Hugo *NPC* Search his bookshelf for Old Book Vol. 3. Now go to the Warrior's Village, but don't walk in too far. Just go to the Item Shop in the Southwest and recruit Window with the Window Rune. (82) Window *NPC* Now, take any Sound Settings, Old Books, and Window Settings to the proper people in your castle. If you've been checking all the shops properly, Chandler will have all three seeds you need on sale in his shop. Buy them and return to Qlon to recruit Zen. (83) Zen *NPC* Now it's time to Power Trip again! [[POWER TRIP]] ~~Level-42 ~~Armor-Full Armor ~~Helm-Full Helm ~~Accesory-Powerful ones! ~~Sheild-Chaos ~~Rune-Yes ~~Sharpen-9 ~~Location: Cave of Qlon Now you're ready to continue, so go to the Warrior's Village and talk to the Elder. They head out for Neclord's Castle, so follow. Climb up to the castle and watch all the events. Let Hix join when he asks. (84) Hix Lvl=38 Wlvl=10 Half Helm,Leather Armor,Wood Sheild,Boots,Medicine Head back out of the castle when you are forced inside and go back to your castle. Get Hix properly equipped, then return. **---NECLORD'S CASTLE---** <> ? Pot, Wind Crystal, Mega Medicine <> Full Helm, Antitoxin, Medicine, Sound Setting 1, Earth Boots, Green Paint, Antitoxen, Cape of Darkness, Magic Rune Peice, Earth Rune Peice You will be presented with two doors and a staircase going farther North. The Eastern door has a guy who will give you clues for money and a chest with the Full Helm. The Western door contains a save point. Now head up the central stairs and up the stairs which follow. Follow the path around the room. There's only one way to go and nothing to acquire. Exit the door in the Northeast. Walk West on the balcony all the way across and into the identical door on the other side. Still only one way to go inside, so use the stairs. The first room you come to has an antitoxin in a chest. The room in the Southeast contains Medicine. The room in the Northwest contains Sound Setting 1. The final room in the Northeast leads on. Search the paintings (from left to right) in this order: 3,2,4,1. You'll open a secret door. Use it to access another balcony. After passing throgh the balcony access stuff, the first room you see in the Southeast contains Earth Boots. The room farthest West contains Green Paint. The remaining room continues on. Go through the coffin room and use the stairs. The first door you come across contains Antitoxin. The Southern room contains an Earth Rune Piece. The remaining door in the far Northeast continues on to another balcony. After the balcony, the first room in the South contains a Cape of Darkness. The room in the North contains a Magic Rune Peice. Naturally the staris in the Southeast continue on. Make sure you are ready for battle before you go up the stairs! When fighting Neclord, don't use and magic the first round. Victor has to hit the Vampire once with the Star Dragon Sword for your shots to start having effect. After that, blast him with all the power at your disposal! Watch your HP, this is by no means an easy fight. I hope you have either a powerful user of the Water Rune or lots of Mega Medicine. Once you win, watch the events. Now get out of the castle. Victor will ask to leave for a while when you exit the castle, go ahead and let him since you don't have a choice. Tengaar will then join. (85) Tengaar Lvl=42 Wlvl=7 Guard Robe, Guard Ring Go home and get Tengaar proper equipment and do any town business. Go to Ivanov and Melodye and drop off the paint and Sound Setting. Now go talk to Mathiu. Accept his plan and Flick and Humphrey will join the adventuring party. Now walk out of this area somewhere and return. Fill out the rest of your party. I recommend you put Liukan in the party to save time later. I also recommend sharpening the party's weapons another stage or two. Now go to the Dragon's Den, which is Northwest of the town of Antei. Unfortunately, a guy at the gate won't let you in. Go to Antei. Talk to the two people here who are standing face to face. Watch the little sequence and choose either choice. Now go back to the Dragon's Den. Talk to Vincent again and watch the sequence. Search the rock with the Dragon on it and enter the cave. **---CAVE OF THE DRAGON KNIGHTS---** <> Earth Shield, Window Setting 3, Cyclone Crystal Magic Rune Peice <> Goldlet, Old Book Vol. 5, Power Gloves Not very far in the cave you will discover a Goldlet in a chest. I suggest you use the Deadly Fingertips or Hell to dispose of Sunshine Kings, as they have very high HP, good defense, and a strong multiple attack. A little farther in the cave you'll find Old Book Vol. 5. After climbing the stairs you can collect Power Gloves from a chest. Finally you will arrive at an area and fall down a slope. Watch the event and then go the direction that Futch and the girl went. Head for the castle you see in the West. **-Note:-** <> ? Ornament, Silverlet, Speed Ring Walk up along the Eastern edge of the outside of the castle and talk to the man in red. Fuma will join the army. (86) Fuma Lvl=37 Wlvl=11 Ninja Suit Now enter the Castle. In the Northeast corner of the first floor is a girl who will let you rest and save. Across the hall is Kreutz, who will join the army. (87) Kreutz Lvl=40 Wlvl=9 Half Armor, Steel Sheild Now climb to the second floor. Watch the event. Tell Joshua you need his help. If you have Liukan in the party, you'll go directly to examining the dragons, if you don't, go get him and come back. Liukan will discover the dragons have been poisoned. He can make a cure, but he needs some special ingrediants. Milia will join in order to get you to Seek Valley. (88) Milia Lvl=53 Wlvl=9 Leather Armor, Wooden Sheild I recommend you return to your castle and get appropriate equipment for Milia. Then go to the Dragon Knight's Fortress and get on the Dragon. It will take you to Seek Valley automaticlally. **---SEEK VALLEY---** <> Mega Medicine, ? Ornament, Taikioku Wear <> Master Robe, Sound Setting 2, Mega Medicine, Cyclone Crystal, Gold Necklace Head East when you get off the dragon. Grab a Master Robe from a chest soon after entering. Once you ascend to the next area up the stairs, turn East. Enter the shack at the end of the trail and talk to Mace. He won't join you yet, but remember where he is. Now backtrack and head up the Northwestern path to grab Sound Setting 2. Now backtrck again and take the central path. Grab the chest you see on the dead end Northeast path for Mega Medicine. Now heal yourself up before taking the Western Path. You might also want to equip that Master Robe on somebody who is only wearing Ninja Suit or Magic Robe. Walk up and confront the strange sphere. I usually just beat the crap out of it with weapons in the first stage. Once it changes, you'll have to watch your HP more carefully, but still just beat on it. Once you defeat it, take the Cyclone Crystal from the chest and use the save point if you wish. Climb higher and take the Gold Necklace from the chest. Higher still to reach the summit and set off events. The first choice you make doesn't matter, and neither does the second. Ted will sacrifice himself and the Soul Eater will level up. Now head back out of Seek Valley. Go upstairs in the fortress and deliver the Moonlight Weed to Joshua there. After the events, you'll be in control of Futch. Head South and approach the Eastern plant. After the event, head back to the Dragon. After some more events, go upstairs and talk to Joshua again. Now Joshua will join your army. Futch will come in and Joshua will ask you to take care of him as a favor to him. (89) Joshua *NPC* (90) Futch Lvl=19 Wlvl=9 Half Helm, Leather Armor You can either ride the Dragon or walk, it's your choice. Before you leave, search the bookcase for Old Book Vol. 4 and the treasure chest for Window Setting 2. Back at your castle, watch the event that occurs when you walk inside. Go give all the books and settings to the appropriate people. Then go to the fourth floor and watch the event. Before going to your room, let's sidetrack and pick up a bunch of new warriors for the army. If you go to your room now, without picking up Leon, you won't get the 108 ending! Talk to Sanchez to change your party and put Tai Ho and Yam Koo in there. Now go outside and get in the boat. Sail North around the island your castle is on and head West. You should see a small island on your map with a blinking location on it. This is where you are headed. Go to the little shack on the island and enter. Go talk to the person in the center. Say fight and the battle begins. The fight shouldn't be difficult, so just beat the crap out of them and have the Hero use Judgement on one of them to finish him quickly. Fisherman attack will also do nice damage. Whenever you win, Anji, Leonardo, and Kanak will all join. (91) Anji Lvl=40 Wlvl=7 Bandanna, Leather Coat (92) Leonardo Lvl=36 Wlvl=5 Tunic (93) Kanak Lvl=37 Wlvl=4 Leather Coat Now to to the Garan Bridge and talk to Quincy, who will finally join you. (94) Quincy Lvl=22 Wlvl=6 Guard Robe, Feather Now go to Neclord's Castle. All the way at the top where you met Neclord you'll find Pesmerga, who will join. (95) Pesmerga Lvl=48 Wlvl=7 Half Helm, Dragon Armor, Steel Sheild Now go back to the Cave at Qlon and into the secret passage where you discovered Crowley. He will now join you. (96) Crowley Lvl=50 Wlvl=2 Rune=Cyclone Master Robe, Emblem Go back to your castle and talk to Sanchez to put the three blacksmit's in your party. Go to the Warrior's Village. Talk to the blacksmith here and he will join. (97) Moose Lvl=27 Wlvl=12 Leather Coat Now go back and put Moose in the party as well. Go to Seek Valley (Go to the Dragon Knights Fortress and ride the Dragon). Take all four blacksmiths to the shack where you met Mace and he will join. (98) Mace Lvl=45 Wlvl=15 Leather armor Now go to Kalekka. Find Leon and talk to him. Now go back to your castle and talk to Mathiu. Receive the letter and return to Kalekka. Deliver the letter to Leon and he will finally join. (99) Leon *NPC* Now go to your room and watch the sequence which occurs. Let Mathiu oversee the training maneuvers when he asks. When you wake up, go talk to Mathiu in his room. Mathiu will make a suprise attack. Fight this battle as usual, taking advantage of your Ninjas and Thieves. It shouldn't really be that tough. When you regain control, recruit Griffith. (100) Griffith Lvl=28 Wlvl=8 Leather Armor Select your party, getting a good balance, because the next area is pretty tough. May as well walk back into the Northern Checkpoint and grab Old Book Vol. 7 from the chest. Now head North to the Castle Morovia. **-Note:-** <> Speed Ring **---CASTLE MOROVIA---** <> Cape of Darkness <> Pink Paint, Taikioku Wear, Mega Medicine, Needle, Mother Earth Crystal Watch the short event, then head in. Another event will activate automatically. Once you regain control, head East and collect the Pink Paint. Then head West and collect the Taikioku Wear. Equip this on Krin or Kasumi now and head North. Keep going North through the next doorway and ascend the stairs. Then follow the path South through the long hallway. Go South to the balcony and exit. Head East and go back inside. Head North through another long hallway. Grab Mega Medicine from the chest, then go out another balcony. Krin will make a rope bridge for you to cross. Go into the next balcony. Grab the needgle from the chest and go out another balcony. Go back inside and you'll release the prisinors. Warren will now join you. You'll now watch an event in which Mathiu will get the best of Kasim. Kasim will then join. (101) Warren Lvl=40 Wlvl=12 Half Helm, Leather Armor (102) Kasim Lvl=45 Wlvl=13 Ninja Suit, Gauntlet Now go back inside and back to the cell. (Just inside the castle to the North is a man who will let you rest). Grab the Mother Earth Crystal from the chest, then talk to Vincent in the cell through the bars. Vincent will join. (103) Vincent *NPC* Now head back out of the castle, back to the Northern Checkpoint. As you enter, Max and Sancho will appear. They will join. (104) Max *NPC* (105) Sancho *NPC* Go give the Pink Paint to Ivanov. If you've bought and found all those possible, he'll complete the picture and give you the binoculars. What the blazes they are good for, I have no idea. You'll also discover that Taggart has joined you after you rescued Warren. (106) Taggart *NPC* Now is usually when I begin my elusive quest to acquire Clive. Teleport to Ricon. Walk in and out of town until Clive shows up at the bar. When you talk to him, he'll join. (107) Clive Lvl=47 Wlvl=13 Magic Robe, Cape Now go talk to Mathiu in the War Room. (Make sure you've saved!) Watch the enormous event, and take the only choice you actually have when Mathiu asks you the question. Once you wake up, if you don't want to go through that huge event again on a reset, you'd better go save. Now go to the basement and exit to the boat dock. Watch the events, tell Mathiu to move forward! Just use your typical battle tactics. This is one of the big ones, so try to win with as few losses as possible. Then save at the globe you arrive near. Go talk to everybody. You'll want a party with at least one powerful user of the Water Rune in it. You'll also want two powerful users of attack magic. Round the party out with a good strong fighter. Sharpen everyone to about level-11/12 who will be in this party. Carry lots of Mega Medicine. **---FORTRESS OF SHARAZADE---** <> Sound Setting 3, Mega Medicine <> Chaos Sheild, Guard Ring, Master Garb, Mega Medicine Head over and grab the Chaos Sheild from the chest. Head South and climb the stairs. Follow the path and grab the Guard Ring. Farther South acquire the Master Garb. Equip this on Victor. Head East to the next area. The path will fork either West or South. Take the Western branch and grab the Mega Medicine from the chest. It might not be a bad idea to exit now, restock and save. The levels you earned here will make it easier to come back through next time. Try not to use any magic except Hell and Deadly Fingertips on your way back through. Once you've returned to the fork, hit the next section. Now take the South path. You'll run into a huge clam. This guy is tough. Keep yourself healed well with the Water Rune. Anybody who has a Level-4 attack spell (especially Judgement!) should use a couple of them. Everyone else wail away with weapons or use the occasional Mega Medicine. Try not to use up all your power, though. More dangerous fights are to come my friend! After you win, walk South and Victor will shout off the floodgate. Then grab the Thunder Crystal from the chest and head back. Heal up with items before you start, and don't use any magic that isn't instant death just like you did on the way down. If you can manage to heal up with the Dragon Seal Incense, that's even better than using your perishable healing tems. Just make sure if you do this that you do it before the first floor. Just as you almost get to the exit, Sonya appears. Your answer doesn't matter. Somebody pours the oil early and lights it. Sonya will attack. This fight is tough, as Sonya is unbelievably strong. Do your best to defeat her. She counterattacks with alarming frequency, so keep yourself at near max HP at all times. When (and if) you win, you'll capture her and then you should escape the burning fortress. Outside, you'll discover Sanchez is the traitor. Mathiu has been injured and Flick is ready to kill Sanchez. Mathiu will restore order, and you'll return to the castle. Go to the basement and talk to Sonya in the jail cell after the event ends. Tell her you want her to join up. Don't change your mind when she says she hates you and she'll join up. (108!) Sonya Lvl=48 Wlvl=13 Rune=Water Leather Armor, Crimson Cape Now go save, then go talk to Mathiu in the war room. Tell him to attack the capital. Watch the enormous event. If you have gathered all 108 stars, Gremio will be revived! Go save once the event is over if you don't want to go through it again. Then tlak to Mathiu and tell him to go. Whether you offer the power of the Soul Eater or not, Joshua will substitute the power of the Dragon Rune to eradicate the monsters. Make use of everything you know! This one is tough bloody fight. Under no circumstances should you let anyone die! If anyone dies in this fight, reset and fight the battle again. Once you win, Flick and Victor will join you to go after the Emporer. But let's not do that yet! [[POWER TRIP]] ~~Level:58-60 ~~All Equipment:Best you can get! ~~Rune:Absolutely! ~~Sharpen:13+ ~~Location: Overworld surrounding Gregminster **-Note:-** <> ? Painting, Crimson Cape, Thunder Crystal **---Gregminster---** <> Mega Medicine, Power Ring <> Wind Spun Armor, Horned Helmet, Power Ring First off stop at the Armor Shop which sells Earth Sheilds, Master Robes, and Silver Hats. Those Silver Hats are excellent and will auto recover HP at a rate of 5 per round. (this is in addition to any other auto healing items you might have equipped) Head to the castle. You'll have to fight Ain Gaide to enter. He's a tough opponant with some deadly spells and strong attacks. I'd advise heading somewhere to recover and save after you win. In a room to the East just after you enter the castle you'll find the Wind Spun Armor. You'll be attacked by groups of Imperial Guards at various places throughout the castle, so be wary as you go along. Make your way to the stairs. Make your way to the Throne Room and through the door there. Head up the stairs. Proceed through the next area, getting in constant fights with Imperial Guards near rooms on the sides. Same in the next area. Ditto on the next area to the stairs. Go past the first passage North you see and collect the Horned Helmet from the chest. This is good for people who are restricted to Full Helms normally. Remember, they'll lose their 5 pt. auto heal from the Silver Hat, though. Now go back and take the Northern passageway. Go West when you have a chance and collect a Power Ring from the chest. There is also a save point in this room. Now head East and go up the stairs. A long straight shot leads you to the Floating Garden, and the Emporer. He'll transform into a three headed Golden Hydra. This is the big one! Work on the heads one at a time, starting with the Western one. Use all those big spells and fight like crazy. The Western head is affected by Fire and Lightning magic. The Central one is immune to Lightning, and the Eastern one is immune to Fire. The Soul Eater's magic affects all three heads, but don't think you're going to get away with using the instant death ones. Watch the events once you defeat him. Then escape the collapsing palace. You'll be attacked by guards at one point and Victor will stay behind to stall them. Flick will block an arrow a little later and stay behind. Victor will then catch up to him. You'll escape the palace now and meet up with the rest of the Liberation Army during some events. Sit back and watch the ending!
