Next Time 9 Final Stuff 1 Introduction Here we are again, for the second volume of Capcom's bi-monthly monster. A lot of basic stuff like battles and menus have been dealt with in my own Eldorado Gate Vol.1 FAQ which you can pick up from Gamefaqs.com, so I will not be repeating that here. Sorry if this is a little late, for those who have been waiting for it Mainly due to the release of the game falling close to Christmas, along with the arrival of Phantasy Star Online which is proving to be something of a Time Vampire. But anyway, here it is. The lists of combines are not as complete as Volume 1 was, mainly because there are a lot more things and most of the are fairly obviously going to be nothing. Not to mention that playing each Volume to death is kinda pointless unless you really want to is kinda pointless because 1) You can often pick up hard to get items easily next time around and 2) you might want to go back to an earlier volume after playing the next few, and it is not so easy to do if you are a little sick of it ^-^. Also, seems someone beat me to it on the FAQ front, although his FAQ is pretty much the only thing which I have not done so it does not really bother me. By the by, anyone who has read it and then reads my story section, please bear in mind that there she is Bud's SISTER, not his true love. OK? Don't get excited, brother and sister. I don't know where he got his plot points from, but he was misinformed. I suggest you trust mine ^-^ Anyway, once again this is pretty much as finished as this thing is going to get, although some of the tables are not as complete as last time all the important stuff is there and they will be the basis of everything next time around. Hopefully I will be a bit quicker off the mark next time! Anyway, I will now mention... 2 The Power of Two 2.1 What is new? It runs very much like the first, with a few changes. Firstly, at various points in the story you can enter Terra Fortuna actually during the stories themselves, rather than only in-between as in Volume 1. Secondly, the download Shop is now working, and you can get these from the Japanese page. The things here are sold at half price and often cannot be found anywhere else / are Light element. If you can get online with your DC, I suggest that you pick them up. You have to go to the page through the game and they are 2 blocks each. There are currently 3 files up there. A few of the spell effect graphics have been changed slightly, and the attacking enemy during battle now flashes prominently. A few other things have been altered slightly but I won't ruin them for those who have not seen them yet. 2.2 Playing back and forth To start with your data from Vol.1, just select continue game when you start and select a save with Scenario 1-3 clear. If you are playing Vol. 2 first, you can go back later and do Vol.1. You can also play the Volume 1 scenarios again with the new items from Volume 2. However, there is not a great deal of point. HeatTank still seems pretty much impossible seeing as you still cannot change Kanan's equipment, and you will generally get more money for the scenarios in 2 rather than 1. Only really worth it if you want to take Radia for a spin with some of her new stuff, or see those high level spells again. Even with the Knowledge Crown, she is still the only character who can do them, and you don't even get to use her in Volume 2 ^-^ 3 Character and Scenario Info Same as for Vol.1, here is the story for each Chapter, with clues for any difficult directional bits. Apologies if some of the names are romanized a little differently to how they are in the game, I did check one or two of them. 3.1 Grief of Bud the Beastman The scene is set in Terra Fortuna, our companions from last time gathered and Bantoros bringing Radia up to speed on the fact that there are 9 more people to find. Using his pool, it is time to look across to the recently discovered New Continent, as the search goes on.... The image opens upon a forest scene. Bantoros explains that here live Beastmen, almost identical to Humans to every respect aside from having a tail, which has made them into slaves for Humans. Here, you see a hunt out looking for new slaves. The scene then swtiches to Bud's village, and our guy makes his appearance. It is the day of his sister, Lyza's wedding to his good friend Ild, and as he talks to everyone in the village it comes out that he has somewhat mixed feelings, after losing their parents raising his sister himself. After talking to everyone, back to the elder and his sister emerges. The groom is yet to show himself, however, and when he finally dashes up he is covered in mud and holding some flowers in a bouqet for his betrothed... flowers which only grow near to Human terratory. Too late, he has drawn the hunters back to their village and the massacre begins. Bud, Ild and Lyza escape, fighting their way through the hunters although their Boss, Buuba, wounds Lyza. As they flee through the mountains, and after seeing their village razed to the ground in distance, they meet up with Jizamu who, in the night, tells them about a Ruin in which sleeps the "Metanom", which is some Ultimate Weapon. Both Bud and Ild seem to think that this might be just what they need for revenge.... Morning comes and it turns out that Ild has upped and left, leaving a letter in which he takes responsibility for the wasting of the village and says he is setting out to find the "Metanom." Bud does not like this, but his sister is not doing well and so they head first for a nearby town - a nest of humans. Sneaking inside and from then on being taken for a slave, they search the town for some medicine, seeing people from their village in a cage and finding out that the Elder was killed. A small boy seems to offer them some help, but in fact tricks them and raises the alarm, calling Bud a thief. Jizamu appears and tries to calm the townsfolk, but Bud and sister get a beating. They flee the town, but his sister collapses from her wounds, telling Bud how happy she would have been to marry Ild and then passing away. Fired anew with grief, Bud sets off against Jizamu's better advise to look for the Metanom and his mate. Final reaching the ruins, he assembles the pieces of the Armour and after a battle with a robotic guardian, dons the suit. The warning which appears as he finds the three pieces tells of gaining the ultimate power, but forgetting oneself. With the armour on Bud flies off and attacks the human town, trouncing everyone and getting his revenge on Buuba but becoming totally encased in the armour as a result. Seemingly uncontrollable, he picks up an infant beast and flies off into the sky. Even Bantoros was not expecting this one, and back in Terra Fortuna the group are left to wonder what will happen to Bud and his passenger. 3.2 Elishin the Swordsman Looks like Bantoros messed up with Bud, or so he seems to think, and maybe he is not going to be one of the companions? Anyway, next up is Elishin. The story opens with Arms and his 3 hench-beasts kidnapping Nefl, the daughter of the rich noble Esukalulo. The cleverly named Arms (he has lots of arms, see?) wants this sweeties to be his bride. Entrance of Elishin, thought to be a noble who has cast his birth aside to become a body guard. He is also a hit with the ladies. Esukalulo offers Elishin his daughters hand in marriage if he can get her back alive. Leaving town and heading through the woods, he comes across the house of Cattleya, a big fan of his and also something of a seer. She tells him that he needs two companions, a wielder of a Great Sword and a Big Hammer, to defeat Arms and his cronies, who are of the regenerative persuasion. Only Silver Weapons can hurt them. She tells him that Alex, a Great Sword user, has been clearing out some bandits in the mountains, and so Elishin goes off to find him. The second location which opens here (South) is where the bosses are, so don't go there yet. Locating Alex, it turns out that he has his eye on Cattleya and wants to see her. Classic back and forth here, Elishin going back to Cattleya's house to pick her up and then back to Alex again. How fickle women are, as with a little prompting she quickly decides her affections lie with Alex and so he joins you. Now, to find the Hammer user. Finally arriving at his village - a Beastman village - the lads are under suspicion of being hunters when the real hunters arrive. Fighting alongside the beasts the hunters are driven off, but the Hammer user - Gald - gets it in the neck. Surprise surprise, in comes Gomez. With the Silver Hammer from the departed beastman, the weapons are gathered and it is off to fight Arms and his cronies. First up, Black Toes - of the Ice element - but a quick trip to the shop in town and Elishin with a Silver Knife makes short work of him. Next up, White Tail - a beast of Light - but the Silver Sword is the key to taking him down. And third, Gold Claw - a Fire beast - who gets a taste of the Silver Hammer. Then, time to take out Arms, who is Light. Once he is trashed, we cut to the church... Just as the bride and groom are about to kiss, however, the Hunt bursts in. Interfering in the hunting is a crime, and they want to string Elishin up for it but thanks to a handy bit of unrequested teleportation (isn't Bantoros great for that?) he makes his escape. Welcome on board! And just to show that men are fickle as well, he teleprompts from about to be married, to showing a keen interest in Radia. Gomez wonders if he is going to be much use to them. We shall see. 3.3 The Revived Eins Bantoros is hitting us with his spiel for the next Scenario, and then he falls on his face. Amid his gurglings, he manages to tell the gathered companions that a Kaburi he has never seen before is sending him urgent requests for help. The Horned Kaburi appears and knows the name of a village which might have some leads. Radia stays to look after Bantoros, and Elishin is a wanted man on the New Continent now, so Gomez sets out to find out what the problem is. Arriving in the main city, everyone is using Ein's - strange robots which have been uncovered from a local ruin - to do all their tasks for them. Ein's follow the will of their master completely. Gomez gets a lead on the village location from a guy outside the church and sets out. He comes to the ruins from which the Eins have been excavated, but quickly comes undone when the first door in the tower is closed. Heading back outside, leader of the excavations is being attacked by plant beasts. Gomez lends him a hand and gets an Ein for his efforts. Now, the general attitude toward Eins is a pretty poor one - use them until they are used up and then get another. What follows is a masterpiece of comedy death, each obstacle in the tower leading to the unfortunate demise of Gomez's current Ein. After each dies, back down to the bottom to pick up a new one. The voice box on the first, electrified one, is still working, and it offers comments like "It is good that the door opened without incident, Master" as Gomez passes by. This all weighs pretty heavily on Gomez mentally, and once clear of the tower and attacked by the plant beast Ein's subservient lamb to the slaughter attitude pushes him over the edge. He learns his new special attack, and rushes to Ein's aid. Ein is broken and can no longer fight, but Gomez takes him with him, and they come to the house of what appears to be the Ein family. Papa Ein puts our boy back together but Gomez wants no more harm to come to him and sets off to save the Kaburi's alone. Now, Ein follows in his footsteps, tracking him to the target town which is nearby and talking to a guy in the bar there, who is something of a researcher into Kaburi. He tells him to head south, having told Gomez the same not so long ago, but also mentions that Kaburi numbers have been down recently. Ein heads out, and quickly encounters a fat Kaburi in trouble. Saving him from the plant beasts, Domp joins him and they head deeper looking for Gomez. When they find him, Gomez orders him as his master to leave, but Ein tries to help him anyway and ultimately gets wrecked again. Back to Papa Ein, and whilst Ein is recuperating Gomez sets off again. Fighting through the swamp he faces off with the Queen BakuBaku but it knocks him for six into the muck. Ein, realising that something is up with his Master, cuts short his healing session and sets out. Taking a slightly different route through the swamp he ends up being blessed with the Golem Medal, and after dragging Gomez from what was almost a swampy grave they ruck the Queen into submission and save the Kaburi's. Domp decides to go to Fortuna with them, and Bantoros makes a quick recovery and proclaims that it is time to start looking for more companions. Unfortunately for us, that means waiting for the next disk.... 3.4 Character Powers and updates Gomez - Gets his second skill this time around, during Scenario 6. When used in battle it ups his Attack but puts both Defence and Mind down. One to be careful with, bearing in mind the strength of bosses in 6 and the fact that the Queen can double attack, but in conjunction with Ein's Decoy can work quite well. Kanan - No changes for the blind, deaf and dumb one this around. Next time! Radia - Same for the Princess of Thievery, no action and no changes. Bud - No awakening for Bud, he does get to turn into a big robot but what good this does him is yet to come to light... Elishin - Quick Attack. Means that he always strikes first in the battles, at slightly reduced damage. Ein - Decoy. Select someone else in the party and takes the damage that they receive that turn. The Wolf Plate makes this one a little more viable. 4 Combines Information 4.1 Combining Volume 2 The actual names of the items are undergoing a transition, you will start to notice the Japanese romanizations getting phased out a little and I will probably use English translations totally for the next document. Obviously the names being in English is not a great help, and you will still have to use the relative strengths of the weapons to put a name to the face, as it were, or order your weapons and they should then be listed pretty much in the order of my initial list. Yes you read that right! I have swapped the way I am displaying the list over to match the way the items are ordered in the game, and I have changed the display of the combines as well to make adding stronger ones easier for me. I also re-ordered the list so everything appears in the same order as on the menu screen. I have tried to include pretty much all the ways of getting the item now, leaving in the ways of picking them up in the previous Volume. Not all the tables are complete but that is mainly because it is not worth putting in the effort when 3 will probably come up with all the answers. There is some Terra Fortuna comedy this time around as well, in that the shop changes what it sells depending on the number of scenarios completed and if you visit it during a certain scenario. These are sometimes marked with a 2-?X, in which the ? is the Scenario in which you can get it. My list of these might not be perfect so if you see 2X but it is not there on the normal Terra Fortuna, try one of the internal shops. The same goes for after you finish each Scenario for THE FIRST TIME only. I.E. once you finish Elishin, go to Terra before starting Ein and you will see the Ranger Knife for sale. If you are particularly attached to this item stock up, once you have finished Ein then, to my knowledge, there is NO WAY to get this back on sale. Kinda severe, really, but there you have it. I did not pay a great deal of attention to these intermediate shops, only realising it once I had finished the game, and I don't think there was anything remarkable for sale. But worth bearing in mind. Key - ?-^X - Buy in Terra Fortuna, ? is VOLUME not story number and if there is a ^ it is the Scenario as explained above. ?D* - From a shop download, ? is the volume number and * the Download number. Kinda incomplete this time around I think. All numbers before the following symbols are the STORY number, not the volume. S - Starts Equipped with first time through Scenario B - Buy F - Find T - Battle Trophy (see end for letters meaning) L - Comes as Light element Hit / ele = if there is a slash then the first is how many enemies it hits, the second the number of element blocks. Some weapons have 2 rather than 1, which makes them even stronger in that element. Lev and then a number is the level of Combining shop which you need to make that item. The lowest in Volume Two is ?? (the lower the better) and so, as last time, there are going to be some things you cannot make this time around. If the product is in Capitals, this is the key / first / only way you can make this item. I know in my Vol.1 it said Italics, that was because I wrote the file in Word but when it was converted it lost the italics. Sorry about that ^-^ Some of these have changed since then anyway, because of shops and whatever in Volume 2. 4.2 Volume 2 Complete Hammers Only a couple of new hammers to be picked up, although one or two of the Level 8 or lower combines from 1 can now be cleaned up. The new stuff from Vol 2 does not really mix much with the older stuff, just the new all hitter which is pretty nice.

I am sure Radia will be loving it as well once you use her again, and you can always give her something nice to play with in those runs back through Scenario 3. A fairly easy run up to the Gold Knife, bear in mind the Lev 6 or lower for Stardust and Shooting Star, not sure when you will get to use that one.

From the looks of things, the only Sabita Tsurugi at the moment is the one Bud starts equipped with when you play his Scenario for the first time. Although you do not get Bud to Terra Fortuna, if you want to give him a decent weapon then make it up in Terra and give it to Gomez before he teleports in briefly during 4, as this will pass it onto Bud.

There is a chance that once she does get her awakening, you will want to be there with something nice to stick in her hand right away in Vol.3, and then again something better might come along right away. The lack of use and the fact that I have already done Kanan's Vol.1 14 times ^-^ means that this list will probably remain incomplete until Vol.3, when I will have to do Scenario 2 again to beat the Tank anyway ^-^ There might also be something higher than the Silver Bow, Silver and Kousoku or Battle is a good bet. This is another fairly inter-dependant tree, the parts for which can only be gathered by playing Scenario 2.

4.7 Volume 2 Suits

The saviour of Suits comes in the form of the second shop download, which
allows the pieces to make up to the best Suit this time around. You can get a 
HoshiBoshi Suit from Arms but I don't fancy your chances. To be honest, you will
have better luck getting on line and making the download ^-^ Aside from that, fairly
standard newest one goes with strongest one before it patter of upgrading. The route
to Tsubame may be missing a link as it stands here, seeing as I have no Block Suits to test the 
chain again at the moment, but just keep combining the newest one with the one prior to it and you 
will get to the top. Unless I am wrong and it is Block and not Guardian to make Tsubame, even if you 
got a Hoshiboshi from Arms you will still have to get the file from online.

4.8 Volume 2 Complete Breast Plates

The strangest things with the Plates is that, although they have
a long combining chain going up from the Evil Mail, the second best plate
- the Powered Plate - is a pretty simple combine of fairly basic, easy to 
come by ingredients, and the Wolf Plate which you get for the 30 stones
blows them all away. The power of this is probably to aid the use 
of Ein's Special Skill. I guess the Silver / Long might tie into the
Powered chain higher up than Vol 2 allows.

4.9 Volume 2 Robes

To say that Radia gets no action in Volume 2, well, the Robes certainly
do. I would have thought the old Lower than 8 from Vol 1 would have been
enough, but it jumps at least four more up to Tsubame no Fuku. This list is currently
incomplete because the hassle of collecting up the pieces to test what is
probably the most highly inter-dependant combining tree in the game so far
is hardly really worth it, when even a Linen Robe would let you pretty much walk Radia's
Vol 1 and some of this stuff will probably be on sale in Vol 3. I have not made the
Star or the Tsubame yet because of this hassle, and I am not sure if I will bother before
volume 3.

4.10 The Great Tree Of Inter-dependant Robes 
         (Or "How Many Times Can *You* Stomach Radigen's Life Stealing?")

Seeing as this is the most inter-dependant tree at the moment, and it all 
stems from the Kilt Robe, simple Robe, and Suzume no Fuku. The problem is, as of Vol 2
the only way to get a Suzume no Fuku or Simple Robe is to play Radia's Scenario 3. They
cannot be purchased, only found in her scenario.

Here are the ingredients for each from scratch (i.e. not taking into account 
having made *any* of the pieces)

1 silk robe = suzume * 2

Angel Cross = suzume * 2, Kilt 3 Simple 3

Velvet Robe = suzume 4, Kilt 3 Simple 3

Vel + Angel = Star - suzume 6, Kilt 6 Simple 6

Star + Velvet = Tsubame - Suzume 10, Kilt 9, Simple 9

Best to check through your belongings and see how many of each you have.
Bearing in mind that the Kilts and simples are being used to make Koakuma, 
Leather, Linen and whatever so any of these you have lying around can be used.
But you are looking at doing 3 10 times in order to get the Tsubame. I have done it
7, but I only came out with 5 Suzume, so that means... 5 more times for me...
Unlikely, especially as Vol 2 is better for money building and the life draining
part is *boring*. I will wait for 3 or the next download and cross my fingers for
a sale!!

4.11 Combining for Abilities

Here is how the abilities attached to a weapon change. This is
based on the same weapon / armour. The element of the one you
select first is what carries across, aside from Light element
which cannot be carried over. The only way to make something
higher from a light item is to combine it with another light
item.

1 + 1 = 2 Poison         (2 items)

2 + 2 = 3 Confuse        (4 items)

3 + 3 = 4 Paralyse       (8 items)

4 + 4 = 5 Light          (16 items)

5 + 5 = 5

Passing up and down seems to only work within ones very closely
related to each other, within a few points of stats difference.
Aside from the previously detailed Light Hammer recipe, if you
wish to work out any other Light equipment experimentation is
called for.

5 Important Items and Accessories

5.1 Battle Trophies

I have left in the Vol.1 ones for the sake of completeness. Some, 
like the very hard to get High Leather Suit in Vol.1, can be bought /
found in Vol.2 anyway.

Vol. 1

TA 	Sabita Kanazuchi		- Ghost Sword		- The Mine
TB 	Simple Suit			- Black Armour		- Fire Dungeon
TC	Iron Knife			- Land Walker		- Volcano
TD	High Leather Suit		- Furiman		      - Final Boss

Vol. 2
I have listed almost all the enemies which drop stuff. Generally 
the chances of it being dropped are very very low. The old
save and reset system from Kanan's High Leather Suit is in full effect again. A
word of warning though - the HL Suit was on sale in Vol. 2, so most of these things
may well come to hand a lot easier if you just wait until Vol.3. It is presumed that using the Luck 
Armband on everyone possible improves your chances, although this is not confirmed. I have marked 
ones you can get some other way with a * and ones which it is confirmed you will be able to pick up 
easier in Vol. 3 with a **.

   Queen BakuBaku - Soldier's Long Sword **          - 6 Boss
   Grass Doran    - Tough Necklace                   - 4 Boss Gomez helps with
   BakuBaku       - Hard Plate *                     - 6 Medium sized plants
   Arms           - Hoshiboshi no Suit *             - 5 Boss
   Guardian       - Manzo no Ring *                  - 4 Robot Boss
   Head Hunter    - Speed of Sound Shoes             - 5 In beast village
   Mimick         - Knowledge Crown                  - 4,5,6 Chest which turns into monster
   Wings o' Death - Silver Feather                   - 5,6 Normal monster, Ice bird
   Black Toes     - Ice Speed / Dodge *              - 5 1st Semi-boss
   White Tail     - Recover / Sound Speed Crown      - 5 2nd Semi-boss
TF Buuba          - Slash Sword **                   - 4 Boss
   Were Wolf      - Bronze Knife                     - 5 Wolf in woods
   Jewel Crow     - Knowledge Shoes                  - ? The same Fire crow as in Vol.1
TE Iron Giant     - Mumei no Katana                  - 5,6 Monster, Light
TG Sabre Claw     - Broad Sword *                    - 6 Monster in swamp

5.2 Orga Stones

Seeing as I have written the FAQ from the start of my playing this
time around, I am able to record the exact location of every Orga stone.
The ones marked with a * are ones which I consider hard to find, the ones
without you will generally come across just by checking all the possible
routes out and so only a general description is given.

Scenario 4 Bud

1 - In the mountains as you flee the village, (before you go onto the map).

2 - Just after the fight which Gomez helps you with, to the bottom - right
of the exit.

3* - The second screen of the town, totally hidden behind a house to the bottom -
left side of the screen.

4* - On the Plains, second to last screen before going out, at the bottom left 
side completely hidden by the large bulb on a tree

5* - Just above the room with all the stone Eins in, hidden by the wall

Scenario 5

1* - In the house in the wood, bottom right side

2 - Lying around easily spotted in the Eastern mountains

3 - Bottom plains place, lying around easily enough

4 - In the beast village, top left corner, visible

5* - After Black Toes, up from save point, hidden by arch

Scenario 6 

1* - Hidden by the root to the right of the save point at the top of
the Tower.

2* - Enter Belde Hill (place with Ein family house) from the map, hidden totally behind the mound 
right by the entrance.

3* - In the Inn in Karma Village, hidden behind a pile of barrels bottom
left of the screen.

4* - After Domp joins you, in the plains, partly hidden by a long wall of
rock.

5 - Lying around in the marsh, in plain view, easy to get

Exchange Items -

Makes sure you get these as soon as you have enough stones, from
the Kabul behind the counter in the screen directly up from where
you teleport into Terra Fortuna.

20 Stones - Battle Knife (L)

25 Stones - Special Attack Belt

30 Stones - Wolf Plate (L)

Items

5.3 Cards

Plenty more cards for collection this time around. As well as
finishing off the Days of the Week cards from volume one, there
are three more Tarot cards, three more cards related to each other
which you can trade for something nice, and another colour card.

Past Card
4 - In the Beastman village right at the start of the story, search the
pot next to a girl at the bottom of the screen.

Present Card
5 - After Gomez joins, return to the main town and talk to the blond drunk guy 
(the guy from the start of Gomez' scenario in Vol 1) twice.

Future Card
6 - Behind the tree stump top left in the second screen of the Marsh

Dimensional Card
Exchange the three above cards with Kaburi in Fortuna, same place 
as the one who gave you the Mighty Card in Vol 1.

Friday Card
4 - The chest with the *something* in, in the mountains section after
escaping the village.

Saturday Card
6 - In the Tower, the floor with the electric platforms, it sparkles
so easy to find.

7 Days Card
Exchange one of each weekday cards (Sunday - Thursday are in Vol. 1) with the Kaburi
on the bed where Bantoros lies during Scenario 6, in Terra Fortuna.

Daidai Iro Card
6 - Enter Karma Village, search the bucket directly up from the entrance.

Pawn Card
4 - Search barrel next to the crate which you push to get into the town.

Rook Card
4 - A pot on the wall just before the legs of the Metanom

Knight Card
5 - As soon as you leave the place which you start in, go right into the small
room with the chest and search the chess board on the right.

Bishop Card 
6 - Search in the Church in the first town, the candle on the right by the tablet.

Tarot - Emperor
4 - In the plains after his sister dies, in the knot of a big tree.

Tarot - Hierophant
5 - In the first town, same church as the Bishop Card (6), pot on the left 
directly from the entrance.

Tarot - Lovers
6 - Search under stained glass in the Palace, where the wedding takes place
in 5.

6 Secret Map Areas

Like Vol.1, each character has a secret location which can be found from the Map screen.
These will just give you the general times / places to look for
the secret areas, from this you should be able to find them
pretty easily. The best way to search is to use the D-pad, move the cursor
slowly and stop every now and then so that it gets drawn onto the hub.

4 - Bud
Right side of the marsh, which is bottom right of map. 
Talk to the Kabul with the horn, and then talk to them in this order -

1 Inn - Blue
2 Store House - Pink
3 Magic Crystals - Green
4 Weapons - Yellow
5 Combine - Purple
6 Horn - White

5 - Elishin
Search the right hand range of mountains, close to the forest.

6 - Ein
Search the mountains on the left, near where the Hammer beastman lives
in Scenario 5.

7 Other Tips / Rumours

Search
You can search anything, and will often find Crystals and money
which does not sparkle. Most of the cards and decent items do not
sparkle either, so worth checking everywhere.

Heton-Tank
Looks like no progress on this one, seeing as Kanan does not really
go anywhere during Volume 2. From the looks of things, she is back in
centre stage Vol.3 so we will have to wait until Feb 2nd to have another
go at this monster.

Dead Eins
When passing through the Tower with Gomez and his string of dying Eins, it is
possible to save at least one of them. The electric platforms are there, just 
invisible, and so you can walk over them without having to kill that Ein. If
it is possible to save any of the others (seem unlikely) or if this has any 
benefit is currently unknown.

8 Jikai!! Next Time

Volume 3 contains only 2 Scenarios. The first stars Gomez and Elishin, along
with Kanan, and is supposed to be longer than your average scenario. Kanan has gone missing,
and Gomez and the gang set out to find her. It looks like you get to use Gomez, Elishin, Ein and 
Radia together in a part so that should be cool. The second Scenario is about Pamala, a hand-to-hand 
fighter who has lost her memory or something to that effect.
So the 3 Scenario's, 3 new characters scheme breaks off, at least for a while. So long
as you get to change Kanan's equipment, and I don't see why not, then that Tank
in Vol. 1 should also be possible. Combining should go down to level 7 or lower,
and hopefully even better Luck / Mind raising items will be forthcoming. Might even
finally get to use the top spells for an entire scenario ^-^ Plenty to look forward
to, anyway.

9 Final Stuff

You can reach me at Sonsaru@hotmail.com with questions and
whatever. The only help I had for this was from the Japanese
Official Eldorado Gate BBS which is located on Capcom's official
Japanese site, Capcom.co.jp. You have to be able to read Japanese
to get anything from this, and if you can then you will be able
to find it easily enough ^-^ Although they are all Japanese,
well, if someone from there is reading this then thanks for your
help guys! Between everyone there, this game has been played to
*death*.

Anyway, thanks for reading, I will be seeing you for Volume 3 I hope!
^-^
